Police are also considering laying charges related to child pornography after a search con- ducted Wednesday at the man’s To ronto residence, according to information released yesterday. An investigation was begun after a tip from Edmonton police in June about a man who identi- fied himself as a Toronto-area gymnastics teacher in online conversations. To ronto police said investiga- tors here located a number of websites on which the accused man discussed his position as a gymnastics coach, and declared a sexual preference for girls aged six to 16. In a sting-type operation To- ronto cops made contact with a man online. During Internet conversations the man is alleged to have encouraged an under- cover cop to commit sexual acts on a young child, police said. On Wednesday police execut- ed a search warrant at a Toron- to address and arrested a man. During the search officers dis- covered images depicting child pornography, as well as what’s described as personal items be- longing to young girls. Chad Meikle, 33, of Toronto, is charged with counselling to com- mit an indictable offence, theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime. Mr. Meikle has been connect- ed with a number of gymnastics clubs in the GTA, including the Pickering Athletic Club, where he taught between April and July of this year. The club was known as the Pickering Aerials until re- cently, police said.

Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Tiffany Tuttle’s poem receives national nod By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — An Oshawa teen has proven that when it comes to award-winning poetry, she knows what she’s talking about. Tiffany Tuttle, a 14-year- old student from St. John Bosco Catholic School in Oshawa, was a winner in the 2006 Robert Bateman Writ- ing and Art Contest. Her winning submission was a 40-word poem, ‘I want to stay’, which asks why we contaminate the planet and suggests we find a way to stay on Earth. “It had to be anything about environmental issues,” said Tiffany. “I just thought about it and wrote it.” The Grade 8 student was especially surprised she won, considering the 9,000- or-so entries that she said were received for the na- tional contest and that her teacher didn’t like the poem she submitted. “We had a writing assign- ment and had to write four different types of poems,” said Tiffany. The students were sup- posed to submit one of the four they had written for the contest, but Tiffany didn’t like any of hers and created a different one in addition to her assignment. Against her teacher’s advice, she submitted the one she liked best. “I didn’t really like the other poems; they were kind of short and dumb,” said Tiffany. “I like writing and I wanted one that I liked.” She said the other types of poems were more restric- tive because they had to fit a format. The Robert Bateman con- test was open to anyone 19 and younger and included writing and art categories. For writing, contestants had to describe, in 40 words, what kind of Earth they would like and what they should do to ensure it remains. The art portion was for an original composition of a species in the community and had to reflect an understanding of the species. Mr. Bateman is a noted Canadian wildlife art- ist. “He wanted to get people thinking more about the en- vironment,” said Tiffany. For the finals, Tiffany went to Ottawa where they did some touring, went to a pre- sentation with slide shows, conservation representatives and sponsors and more. She said the event was really fun and she learned a lot. She also received a gift bag with prizes, a print signed by Mr. Bateman, magazine sub- scriptions and more. Last year, Tiffany won a Remembrance Day poetry contest. Durham youth knows her place on Earth There’s Never Been a Better Time to Buy ‘CLEARLY BETTER’ FREE UPGRADE!

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 14, 2006 PAGE 3 Pdurhamregion.com ‘Shocking to me to see what these little children endure... they are crime scene images’: judge By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A man who came to the attention of Durham police after a com- puter technician found child pornography on his laptop has been sent to jail for 18 months. In sentencing Robert Hor- vat Tuesday, Superior Court Ju stice Myrna Lack said a harsh penalty is necessary for the repeat offender. “The type of pornography he possessed was hard core,” the judge said. “The images run the gamut of the most serious and disgusting type. “It was shocking to me to see what these little children endure ... they are crime scene images.” Mr. Horvat was busted in February 2005 after police were contacted by a Whitby computer shop at which he’d dropped off a laptop for re- pairs. During an investigation Durham police detectives seized several more comput- ers and related equipment, recovering almost 3,000 im- ages depicting children in a variety of sex acts. At trial Justice Lack found Mr. Horvat, 28, guilty of pos- session of child porn. She also ruled that in transferring images from one medium to another, he was guilty of making pornogra- phy. It is his second conviction for child pornography. In 1997 Mr. Horvat was found guilty of possessing and dis- tributing porn and given five months house arrest. “Obviously he did not learn his lesson,” Justice Lack said. The judge sentenced Mr. Horvat to 21 months and gave him three months cred- it for the time he’d spent in virtual house arrest while on bail. Mr. Horvat, who has been diagnosed as a pedophile, has also been placed on three years probation and ordered to undergo counselling. He’ll be on the nation’s sex offender registry for 20 years.

Police said a worker at the Bay store became suspicious of a couple who were making purchases with credit cards at the store last Friday, July 7. Cops were called in and questioned the two, who were found to be in pos- session of counterfeit credit cards and items that had been purchased with the cards. Jeyavel Thangavelutham, 41, of Roebuck Street in Toronto, and 29- year-old Kavitha Santhakumar, of Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, are each charged with two counts of fraud under $5,000. They are also charged with sin- gle counts of attempted fraud and possession of property obtained by crime. Mr. Thangavelutham is also charged with 11 counts of unlawful possession of credit card data.

Intended for children and youth, the series runs Saturday mornings until Aug. 19. The young performers come from the Pickering Rotary Music Festival and local schools.

By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Transit riders in Durham Re- gion need to save their monthly transit passes in order to claim up to $75 when filing their income tax next year. Durham Region Transit and GO Transit rid- ers are eligible for the tax credit effective July 1 with the introduction of the federal govern- ment’s tax credit for monthly transit passes. All Durham residents have to do is keep their expired passes in order to claim the credit. GO Transit riders are also encouraged to save their monthly receipts. “O ne of our promises in the last election was to offer transit riders a 15.2 per cent reduction in the cost of monthly transit passes as part of our commitment to working toward bring- ing more Canadians (to) public transit,” said Oshawa MP Colin Carrie, who made the an- nouncement at the Oshawa Centre. “It should take millions of cars off the road, encourage more families to get involved in the public transit system and be a real plus for our envi- ronment.” The tax credit applies only to monthly, se- mester and annual passes. It does not apply to tickets, cash fares or multi-rides. A person who buys an $80 transit pass each month could save as much as $75 this year and $150 in 2007. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said anything that helps encourage more people to take public transit, as opposed to their cars, is “a bonus” for public transit systems. Oshawa Mayor John Gray said he feels en- couraged the Conservative government has taken this initiative. Combined with renewed assistance from the provincial government in the form of a gas tax allowance for munici- pal transit, it’s good news for local cities and towns, he said.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 14, 2006 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com Please recycleDurham public transit users getting tax cut for their monthly passes EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keeping the beat of summertime fun Every summer people flock to the waterways and rec- reation areas throughout Durham and every summer somebody inevitably dies. Let’s face it, accidents happen whether it’s by drowning, car crash, boating mishap or just simply bad luck. In many cases people who lead sedentary lives nine months of the year feel they can get off their duffs and suddenly become active. Un- fortunately moderation is key to beginning any type of strenu- ous exercise and as a result, a lot of middle-aged men suffer heart attacks. That is why it’s good to know three public access defibrilla- tors are now in the hands of Durham Region Police’s marine unit. They were recently donated by the Mikey Network, named in honour of Mike Salem, who died of sudden cardiac arrest in 2002 while playing golf in Muskoka. The three defi- brillators will be used by Durham police’s three patrol vessels, which guard Lake Ontario, Lake Scugog and parts of Lake Simcoe. Defibrillators are becoming more common at recreation facilities and other public areas because they’ve been proven to save lives. But they come at a steep price. The three donated to the police cost $3,500 each. That’s a lot of cash but at the end of the day if even one of them can help save a life it’s worth it. The Mikey Network’s mandate is to create public aware- ness and education about heart healthy lifestyles. Founded by Healthwood Homes and the Heron Group, the Network is committed to placing as many “Mikeys,” or defibrillators, in public places as possible. In addition to defibrillators it’s always good for the public to seek training in basic First Aid. The skills learned by get- ting this type of training can also prove invaluable if someone hurts themselves or suffers a heart attack in a recreation area. Unfortunately too few of us have this type of training. This summer take it easy, have fun and be safe. And if you want to learn basic First Aid call St. John Ambulance, Durham Branch at 905-434-7800. For more information on the Mikey Network go to www.mikeynetwork.com. New waste ideas welcome To the editor: Three cheers for the mayors and councillors who have the vision and the courage to vote for a positive, responsible future meanwhile jeers and boos for those councillors trying to pass an amendment giving the fearmongers and NIMBYs more power to stall this. The facts are gassification/incineration provides a made-in- Ontario solution and removes shameful behaviour -- sending our garbage to somebody else. It will also provide much-needed energy and possibly help with reducing some heating costs for municipal buildings. Another fact many don’t realize is inciner- ation produces less greenhouse emissions than a rotting landfill and the toxins spewed are less than what is already tolerated by Canadian law. Europeans have, for decades, been ahead of us in environ- ment management and waste incineration has always been used. On a recent trip I took to Vienna, the city tour guide was proud to show off the city waste incinerator barely five minutes away from historic downtown. The Austrians are so environ- mentally conscious that they banned any chemical pesticides/ fertilizer used in farms and banned food preservatives. So believe me, if it’s good enough for them, it will certainly be good enough for us.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 14, 2006 durhamregion.com I t has finally come to Pickering and Durham: organic waste collection is here – and not just for those lucky folks in Amberlea. After talking about it for years, the Re- gion of Durham has finally rolled out green bin collection. But, the word on the street is some residents are complaining: about the smell, cost of the biodegradable bags and size of the bin. Some residents are also confused about what goes in the bin. Sadly, I live in a multi-residential com- plex (and in the interest of full disclosure, not in Durham) and currently don’t have the opportunity to participate in organic waste collection. However, for 10 days while on vacation in Prince Edward Island I got to pretend I was a part of the waste diverting elite. While it took a day or two to adjust, and occasionally someone having to tell us organic neophytes that something didn’t belong in the garbage, once we did it a few times it was easy and, dare I say it, fun to think of all the items that wouldn’t be going to landfill (or incinerated). The picturesque tourist magnet has everything a waste reduction wannabe could ask for: clear garbage bags, a com- post bin under each kitchen sink, and more than just garbage bins in malls, fast food restaurants and on the street. There were receptacles everywhere with sepa- rate compartments for waste, compost and recyclables. This is the biggest difference I could see between PEI and Pickering. One fast food restaurant not only had separate bins for compost and waste, but on the front of said bins it detailed which materials could go in what bin. What could be easier than that? (To be fair, municipal buildings in Durham do have similar bins). Councillors have talked about getting private companies, such as fast food res- taurants, to put recycling bins on their premises, but nothing ever comes of it. If businesses don’t want to comply, isn’t there a way for government, if not munici- pal than provincial, to step in and make it a requirement? As citizens we should demand it. The time for talking about ideas to re- duce waste is over; action needs to be taken and quickly. Durham was years behind tiny PEI in bringing in organic collection. Now is the time for it to be a leader. Pickering is on the right track with its sustainability initiative, it just needs to keep on that track. Danielle Milley’s column ap- pears every third Friday.

Heard Public School, Whitby Dr. Ross Tilley Public School, Bowmanville Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School, Ajax Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, Oshawa Ashburn native spent more than 40 years teaching WHITBY — When Florence M. Heard accepted a teaching job at Dundas Street Public School in 1924, it would be her last stop. An Ashburn native, Ms. Heard gave more than 40 years to the Whitby public school, where she stayed until her re- tirement in 1964. During her career, she taught all subjects and was principal from 1942 onwards. Along with teaching, she coached the school’s base- ball and hockey teams. In 1953, she was awarded a Coronation Medal for 29 years of faithful service to the teaching profession. Ms. Heard was made assistant curator of the Whitby Museum and president of the Whitby Historical Society in 1976-77. She was also awarded the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Medal in 1953, and the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal in 1977. Ten years after her retirement, the school was renamed in her honour. Ms. Heard died in 1983 and the Heard family established a student award in her memory. Every year, a Grade 6 student demonstrating outstanding effort in the area of academics, sports and citizenship in the school and community, is the proud recipient of the special award. Florence M. Heard Public School is now a single-track French immersion school that provides programming for students from kindergarten to Grade 6. The school community is proud of its history. Information supplied by the school R everend had a dream for a Catholic high school OSHAWA — For Catholic education in Oshawa, Monsignor Paul Dwyer gave his time, energy and financial support. Born in 1898, Msgr. Dwyer assumed the pastorate of St. Gregory’s Church in 1949, and by 1957 was named the first Dean of Ontario County. Within the 1950s and 1960s, growth in Oshawa began to surge with post- war development. Oshawa and the auto industry flourished, attracting new workers and homeowners, as well as the need for parishes. He made many contributions to local parishes, purchasing sites for St. Gertrude’s, St. Mary of the People and St. Philip’s, for cemeteries and a new parish auditorium at St. Gregory’s. Later he was named a Domestic Prelate to Pope John XXIII and was made a monsignor in 1961. Msgr. Dwyer had a dream of having a Catholic high school in Oshawa where faith would be openly taught and celebrated. He put much of his time, energy and financial support into overseeing the construction of Oshawa Catholic High School and saw his dream come true in 1962. He died on March 19, 1976. In September 1976, Oshawa Catholic High School had its last graduating class as the school was renamed in Msgr. Dwyer’s honour. The monsignor’s commitment to Catholic education lives on in the school’s motto, veritas, boni- tas (truth, goodness) -- values it continues to teach and inspire in students. Information supplied by school officials Bowmanville doctor helped burn victims during Second World War BOWMANVILLE — Indispensable to burn victims during the Second World War, Dr. Ross Tilley helped in- vent plastic surgery. A Bowmanville doctor, Dr. Tilley travelled to England to serve as a burn repair surgeon during the war. With Dr. Archibald McIndoe, Dr. Til- ley decided to try a new way to help burn victims and the two invent- ed plastic surgery. During the war, doctors were looking for a way to heal burn wounds to the face and hands. The majority of burn victims received their wounds in planes, and those who survived a crash with burn wounds had a high chance of dying of infection later. Dr. Tilley helped change that by tak- ing skin from other parts of the body and putting it on really badly burned areas. The Second World War was a horrible war in our history and the pain continued for many Canadians even after the war ended. Dr. Tilley eased the pain for many of his burn victims and made their already troubled lives a bit easier. He died in 1988 and, in 1996, was recognized in the naming of a southwest Bow- manville school, Dr. Ross Tilley Public School. Information supplied by Ryan Gray, a Grade 8 student at Dr. Ross Tilley PS Pickering native was To r onto’s first bishop born in Ontario AJAX — A leading figure in guaranteeing an equal educa- tion for Catholic children, Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor had great achievements and successes during his life. The son of pioneer Denis O’Connor from County Cork, Ire- land, Denis T. O’Connor was born March 28, 1841 in Pickering and resided at what is now Rossland and Lakeridge roads. In December 1863, he was or- dained a priest in St. Michael’s Cathedral. He served as a pro- fessor at St. Michael’s College and Superior of Assumption Col- lege, Windsor until 1890. In July 1890, he was elected Bishop of London, Ontario and consecrated in October in St. Peter’s Cathedral. Arch. O’Connor was the first Basilian priest to reach the episcopate and on July 7, 1899, he became Toronto’s first bishop born in Ontario. Arch. O’Connor was a leading figure in the question of certification for sepa- rate school teachers and guaranteed an equal education for Catholic children. He strongly believed in a well-trained clergy and in Catholic education. His contributions have impacted the Catholic church locally and helped establish his name on one of the first Catholic high schools in Ajax.

Heard ended her teach- ing career, the school to which she devoted so much time was renamed in her honour. keywordsearch: schoolnamegame Dr. Ross Tilley served as a burn repair surgeon during the Second World War, helping pioneer plastic surgery methods.

Ontario Finance Minister Greg Sor- bara announced last week that assess- ments by the Municipal Property As- sessment Corporation (MPAC) will be cancelled for 2006 and 2007. The freeze is aimed at allowing time for imple- mentation of an Ombudsman’s report which criticized both the methodol- ogy for assessment and appeals process and called for an overhaul of MPAC. Assessed value, determined by MPAC, multiplied by the municipally- set tax rate results in property tax to- tals. In March, Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin detailed 22 recommen- dations to improve MPAC, after being deluged with complaints. “Never in the 30-year history of this office have so many complaints been received in so short a period about a single public agency,” he said in a press release then. “Our office was inundated with protests from disaffected citizens -- more than 3,700 of them.” MPAC immediately agreed to imple- ment 18 of the recommendations. The freeze is “a good move,” said Clarington Mayor John Mutton. “It al- lows MPAC time to implement the Om- budsman’s report and come up with a better communications strategy with property owners.” But, some say the move by the Liber- al government isn’t enough. The freeze is “a start, but it would have been nice to have a rollback, because some of the assessments we’ve seen in the city of Oshawa leave a lot to be desired,” said Oshawa councillor Tito-Dante Ma- rimpietri. The assessment system was “com- pletely out of control,” said Coun. Ma- rimpietri. There’s a need to make it so it doesn’t unduly burden those on fixed incomes and others, he said. “Taxpayers are being unfairly bur- dened by the current system and have had more then enough. Now, more then ever, it is time to bring a more in- telligent and compassionate formula,” said Coun. Marimpietri. In March, when the Ombudsman’s report came out, Coun. Marimpietri said the system simply didn’t make sense. “I found that, in many cases, they just looked at what was sold in the area. They physically did not come out” to look at the properties, he said. “They assessed it from God-knows-where, from on a map, did not come out. When you’re talking about taxpayers’ dollars, that’s not the best solution,” he said. Coun. Marimpietri said he hopes the freeze doesn’t end with a return to the old system. “My preference is for a cap (on value increases), and a sliding scale depend- ing on a number of different things,” he said. “I’m not at all content with leaving it just simply with a freeze,” said Coun. Marimpietri. “The whole system needs to be rebalanced.” Find autism support at Durham group meetings DURHAM — Autism Ontario has a new name and website.

IMAGINE NO POWER FOR ONE HOUR. CAN YOU IMAGINE A WEEK? On August 14, 2003 at 4:20 PM a total blackout affected over 50 million people in Canada and the USA. Major centres like Toronto and New York remained powerless for days — for some, a minor inconvenience and for others — devastating consequences. Elevators remain motionless, televisions stared back blankly, traffic ground to a halt and slowly towns and cities were plunged into complete darkness. By midnight, many people realized how unprepared they were for a sustained blackout. A simple flashlight (and batteries) to light the way; a small radio to catch the news; and a corded phone to contact loved ones. Many believed the crisis would pass soon and everything would return to normal — and it did after 3 days. Are you prepared for 3 days?

By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — Chris Buckley is “cau- tiously optimistic” when it comes to the potential of a deal between Gen- eral Motors and the French-Japanese alliance of Renault-Nissan. The president of CAW Local 222 says that it may be too early to tell what will come of the discussions between the three auto makers. But he remains hopeful an alli- ance could lead GM to reconsider the November 2005 announcement that it will shut down Oshawa assembly plant no. 2 in 2008. The shutdown is part of GM’s North American turnaround plan, which could be re-evaluated should Renault-Nissan acquire a significant share of the struggling auto giant. “I’m cautiously optimistic that that could happen,” Mr. Buckley said. “It is not too late for GM to reconsider its decision.” But Stew Low, spokesman for GM Canada, says the discussions are just at the exploratory stage and it is too early to speculate as to what the out- comes could mean. “It is too soon to know what impact it will have on General Motors in general or in Canada specifically,” he said. “It is not down to a local level at this point.” Mr. Low said GM Canada’s inter- ests will be represented at the table during the discussions because ex- ecutives are looking at what is best for shareholders and the company as a whole. G eneral Motors board of direc- tors gave CEO Rick Wagoner the go- ahead to lead discussions with the executives from Nissan and Renault — namely their shared CEO Carlos Ghosn — regarding a possible alli- ance. Mr. Ghosn is said to be meeting with Mr. Wagoner in Detroit on Fri- day during his visit to Nissan’s North American technical centre.

Arturo Elias, current presi- dent of GM Mexico, is taking over from Michael Grimaldi as head of Canadian opera- tions, CEO Rick Wagoner an- nounced on Monday. Calling both men “out- standing global executives,” Mr. Wagoner said he expects a smooth transition when Mr. Elias steps into the role on Aug. 1. Mr. Grimaldi, who has been at the helm of GM Canada since January 2002, is being assigned to the Republic of Korea as president and CEO of GM Daewoo. GM spokesman Stew Low said Mr. Grimaldi’s time at GM Canada was marked by many achievements, includ- ing industry awards for prod- uct quality, productivity and safety. “As president, Mr. Grimaldi helped strengthen GM Cana- da’s product lineup and its in- dustry-leading Canadian deal- ership network,” he added. Another achievement was the outgoing president’s posi- tive union relations and his ability to secure two success- ful national agreements with the Canadian Auto Workers union, Mr. Low said. Chris Buckley, president of CAW local 222, said he will miss the good relationship the union had with Mr. Grimal- di, but is looking forward to establishing a similar under- standing with the new incom- ing president. “I am looking forward to meeting him and reminding him of the years of hard work our members have put into making this the best plant in North America,” he said. Mr. Elias, who has been president of GM Mexico since March 2001, has extensive ex- perience at GM. The 51-year old began his career with the company in 1978 as a manufacturing en- gineer with Delco Electron- ics. He moved up through the ranks, working in New York, Brussels, Mexico and Venezu- ela. In 1993, Mr. Elias became managing director of GM Chile. From 1996 to 1999, he held various positions in product development, in- cluding responsibilities for full-size trucks at the former GM Truck Group. He worked briefly as managing director in Argentina before entering his current role in Mexico. Mr. Elias takes over the helm of GM Canada just as it is going through restructur- ing, with the Oshawa assembly plants waiting to hear news of a product that will secure the future of plant no. 1 beyond 2008. Mr. Buckley said he does not anticipate that the change in leadership will affect the chances that Oshawa has of securing future product allo- cation and a flexible manufac- turing plant -- the announce- ment of which are expected in the next few months. GM Canada president heading to Korea to take helm of Daewoo Soil remediation continues, site will be environmentally safe By Jillian Follert Staff Writer OSHAWA — A sign of the times was unveiled in down- town Oshawa on a recent morn- ing. Politicians and city officials pulled a white sheet from a massive billboard advertising the future site of the consoli- dated courthouse. It’s mostly dirt and rocks right now, but City Manager Bob Du- ignan assures that a lot is going on beneath the surface, so con- struction can commence in the fall. He said crews are in the midst of a remediation process, to rid the soil and water of a potential- ly dangerous substance called Trichloroethylene (TCE). TCE is a metal degreaser w idely used in industry, and dangerous to humans. In recent years, the Ministry of the Environment has intro- duced tougher standards for dealing with the substance. “The Ministry has established standards for soil conditions and we are exceeding those,” Mr. Duignan said. “This will be a very, very clean site. There will be no en- vironmental impact to anyone on the site or in the building.” The cost of the clean-up is in- cluded in the total price tag for the courthouse. The Province has yet to release either figure, however those details are ex- pected soon. The only additional cost would come if the clean-up wasn’t completed by the Oc- tober 2006 deadline, in which case the City would be required to pay a penalty to the Province for delaying the process. Mr. Duignan said this is not a likelihood. “We have an obligation to be done by October and we will be, we are on schedule.” Mayor John Gray said he is thrilled that things are moving along and called the sign un- veiling an important step. “It sends a message to the citizenry and the businesses, that the courthouse is coming,” the mayor said. “It’s time for the private sector to start think- ing seriously about investing in downtown Oshawa, because we’re going to need grade A of- fice space for all those court support services.” In addition to new office space, City officials are confi- dent that the courthouse will bring increased demand for other downtown services, like retail, residential and entertain- ment. It is estimated that an extra 1,500 lunch meals will be con- sumed daily by courthouse em- ployees and users alone. Courthouse construction will begin in late 2006 or early 2007 and wrap up in the winter of 2008/2009. The 350,000 square foot con- solidated courthouse will bring the seven courts currently scat- tered across Durham under one roof, housing 33 courtrooms, five motion rooms and related justice services.

DURHAM — For the fourth year, the Durham Cruisers Motorcycle Enthu- siasts Club is revving up for its annual poker run. On July 23, between 250 to 450 riders from all over Durham Region and from To ronto will ride to Bow- manville, raising money for Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarington and the Veterans Honour Ride Foundation, a ride to support veterans. Par ticipants can regis- ter from 10 a.m. to noon at Mackie Harley Davidson Buell, 880 Champlain Ave., Oshawa-Whitby border, then head out for the three-hour ride to Spoiled Sports, 1898 Baseline Rd., Bowmanville. There are three checkpoints along the way, with partici- pants picking up cards along the way. Directions and maps are supplied on regis- tration. The people with the three best poker hands at the end win prizes. The cost per player is $15. Karen Chambers, Durham Cruisers treasurer, said the event has raised thousands of dollars for Big Brothers and Sisters and the Veterans Honour Ride Foundation. Big Brothers and Sisters has received more than $12,500 from the Cruisers, funding things such as the Christmas party and after-school pro- grams, while the Veterans Honour Ride Foundation will have received $4,800 be- fore this year’s ride. Proceeds from the 2006 ride will again go to the two organizations. The Durham Cruisers have also contributed about $90,000 to Ride For Sight during the past five years and donated to other local charities. The group is a family- oriented organization with safety as its main objective. Members take part in weekly rides and many fundraising events.

Grab your helmet and rev up for charity run NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 $50 million in new funding from Province By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — A $50-million pro- vincial investment in special edu- cation will help Durham boards increase assessments and provide professional development. The additional funding, recent- ly announced by the Ministry of Education, was good news to Dur- ham Catholic and public school board officials. Of the money, $25 million is for more profes- sional development, $20 million is for psychological student as- sessments and $5 million is for teacher assistant training through the Geneva Centre for Autism. “This funding will be helpful to us,” said Mitch LePage, a superin- tendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board. Of the $25 million, the Catho- lic board’s estimated share of $250,000 will allow it to continue delivering professional develop- ment and its Education for All pro- gram. Martyn Beckett, superintendent at the Durham District School Board, is excited that the funding could mean the continuation of its work with the Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE), which received funding earlier this school year. The project, con- ducted at the kindergarten level, provided data to teachers on early literacy development, suggestions for how teachers can help students improve, and assistance in flagging those who may be behind early in their education. The program also allows teachers to work together with those from other schools to share intervention techniques. “We’re excited about the pos- sibility of preparing a proposal for CODE again to continue,” said Mr. Beckett. There are currently 38 schools involved in the board’s project, which received $250,000 in sup- port to pay for staff training, relief time and for research and facilita- tor support. The $20 million provided for assessments will also help both boards. The Catholic board is an- ticipating it will receive $200,000. “We’re hoping to use that for additional staff so we can increase assessment capability,” said Mr. LePage. Assessments are complet- ed to give education professionals a better idea of a student’s learn- ing challenges and allow better programming to be created. Mr. Beckett said the money should help with the reduction of wait times for assessments at the Durham public board, something it has already been working to ad- dress, even without specific fund- ing. “We’ve seen it as an area of need,” said Mr. Beckett. He added assessments often in- clude more than just the psycho- logical element. As for the $5 million portion of the funding to train teacher assis- tants with students who have au- tism spectrum disorders, neither board is sure of its details. “We will have to look at specific direction from the ministry on this before we can clarify what that training will look like in our sys- tem,” said Mr. LePage. The Catho- lic board is expecting $50,000. Mr. Beckett said all three areas of the $50 million is good news for the Durham board.

The pair, one of whom fears for her life to the point that she asked a pseudonym be used for this story, was among the first group through the Durham Catholic Family Services WOMAN -- Women Of Maturity Achieving Non- violence -- program, a group counselling project that is now planning its third run. The program, which began in June 2005, is not just open to those hoping to leave a relationship, stressed fam- ily counselor Leanne Traf- agander. It also helps those planning to stay find ways to protect themselves, physi- cally and emotionally, from further abuse. It became obvious that there was a need for a special- ized group for older women, said Ms. Trafagander, noting the organization’s “main- stream group” had incorpo- rated women of all ages. “It wasn’t necessarily un- helpful, but there were some areas where they didn’t identify as much,” she said, noting younger women are often dealing with matters surrounding children, such as custody. “A woman who was 60 wasn’t likely to be dealing with things like that.” The older women, whether they were leaving or remain- ing in the relationship, had a number of common bonds, said Ms. Trafagander. Many needed help defining and identifying the more subtle forms of abuse. “Value systems are what cause abuse. It’s not about anger management or any- thing like that,” she said. Older women “often talk about growing up in an en- vironment where they’re socialized ... not to question your husband.” Issues such as health and economics were also dis- cussed, as was the grief and loss associated with leaving a relationship. For some, it was an educa- tion in just how many women found themselves in similar situations. “I didn’t realize how many abused women there were till I came to the group,” said Jean, who continues to fear for her life, despite having left her husband. “Until I was told about this group, I didn’t know there was any place you could go to get help where anyone would understand.” For Jean, the abuse didn’t start until after marriage. “The guy I went (out) with was one guy; the guy I mar- ried was a completely differ- ent person,” she said. For the last several years of her re- lationship, there was “men- tal abuse, but it was starting to get to the point where it could get physical.” Her husband didn’t be- lieve he had a problem. “It was me and everyone else that was crazy,” she said. For Gwen, matters esca- lated over the years. “It was always, ‘Daddy, may I?’” she recalled of the fi- nancial control her husband exerted over her. “I could do anything I wanted as long as I didn’t spend any of his money.” The situation got worse after her husband retired and finances became strained, she said. Finally, she got out of the relationship, only to find a letter from a lawyer, insist- ing that she would lose her home. It took some fighting and some help from some support agencies, but even- tually, Gwen found she was able to stay in the family home. Both also found social sup- port within the group and found themselves going to events, outside of sessions, with the women they had met there. Both women said they’ve noticed a huge increase in their own self-esteem since participating. One spoke of her glee at purchasing her first piece of furniture on her own. Another spoke of the sense of accomplishment at dealing with her first emer- gency home repair. “I feel a lot better about myself,” said Jean. “I was always afraid. Now, I walk into my apartment and think, this is great ... I don’t have to worry about anyone coming in and running me down. “I feel great about myself. I can do what I want,” she said.

Catholic Family Services helping older women dealing with abuse By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Gibson Maidansky’s friends are sporting funky green mohawks these days -- the height of fashion for Grade 1. When the 7-year-old first saw them, he ran home and told his mom that he wanted one too -- but he’s since changed his mind. “He realized people would be able to see his scar,” mom Yvonne explains. The lines that crisscross the back of Gib- son’s head are in sharp contrast to his chub- by cheeks and impish grin. In two short years, he has undergone two surgeries, months of chemotherapy and two rounds of radiation treatment, all to attack a brain tumor that started out the size of a grapefruit. “He’s only the second child in Canada to have radiation twice,” Ms. Maidansky says. “He’s a brave kid.” Gibson is also funny, sweet and silly. He loves riding bikes and building them with his grandfather, playing with Star Wars toys, and animals. In addition the family’s regular cast of pets, dog Ginger recently gave birth to eight wiggling puppies -- Gibson’s favourite is a tiny girl named Mini whom he cuddles in a blanket. He brags about catching a fish “the size of a shark” and wishes he could play soccer or hockey on a team -- but it’s not safe because he is missing bones in his head from his first surgery. Looking back, his mom says alarm bells first went off when Gibson started exhibiting violent behaviour at age three. After being diagnosed with ADD and going on medication, Gibson began suffering from severe headaches that left him stumbling, slurring and screaming in pain for hours. While doctors blamed the drugs, his mom knew something was very wrong. When a CT scan was done in the spring of 2004, her worst fears were confirmed. Gib- son had a massive tumour wrapped around his brain stem, travelling down into the spi- nal cord. He underwent surgery two days before his fifth birthday and doctors removed 80 per cent of the tumour. Chemo and radiation sessions wiped out even more. His mom, dad Dylan and 13-year-old sis- ter Chelsea crossed their fingers that every- thing would be OK, and for a few months, it was. Then, this past March there was a phone call from his doctor -- the tumour was back. Just in time for this sixth birthday, Gibson was in hospital for a second surgery and more radiation. His final treatment was ear- lier this month, and he was back in his Grade 1 classroom at Sunset Heights P.S. last week to finish off the school year. Now his family simply waits and hopes. His next MRI scan is scheduled for July. “The doctors have given him a 10 percent chance of survival with a nine month life expectancy,” Ms. Maidansky says matter of factly. “We try not to talk about stuff like that to him or in front of him, but he told me he would see me from heaven.” The Make a Wish Foundation has agreed to grant a wish for Gibson, and he has asked for a trailer at Dreamland Resort in Hast- ings, where his cousin and best friend Josh spends his summers. “I want to fish and ride bikes and swim with Josh,” Gibson says. The only problem? The foundation is able to provide $10,000, but the cost of a trailer will come in closer to $25,000. The Maidanskys re-mortgaged their home to pay off debts accumulated during Gib- son’s first surgery, and were finally forced to sell and move into a small townhouse this year. Both of his parents recently lost their jobs, in part due to the time they must de- vote to caring for him. Credit and loans are out of the question so they are turning to the community for help. “I’m not the kind of person who asks for help easily, but I live for my kids and I want to be able to do this for him while he is here,” Ms. Maidansky says. “He’s a determined, brave, courageous little boy who has gone through a nightmare.” Individuals, businesses or community organizations who can help are asked to e- mail jfollert@durhamregion.com.

Forty years later, Ms. Real, a resident of Centennial Retire- ment Residence in Oshawa, was in the tuck shop buying a candy bar when she inad- vertently pulled out the old penny. “The lady I was buying from couldn’t see very well either,” she said. “I said: is this a loonie or is this a toonie?” When Ms. Real realized the coin was indeed her English penny the story of how it came into her possession came up. When she said she would like to return it to her for- mer student, Colleen Taylor, Centennial’s community rela- tions manager stopped and offered to help track down Mr. To wnsend. With the help of a telephone book and a few phone calls, Ms. Taylor was able to locate Mr. Townsend, now 46, living in Courtice. “It sort of bugged me all these years that I didn’t give it back to him, you know?” Ms. Real said. “I didn’t think I should keep it, but all the years they intervene...” On Saturday, June 17, Mr. To wnsend met his former teacher at the retirement home to accept the coin back. “When I was in kindergarten my grandmother had come over from England for two weeks and gave me a bunch of English coins. I gave one to my teacher,” he explained. “She’s kept this coin for 40 years in her purse, I guess, by the sounds of it. I guess it was supposed to be a lucky penny or something.” Mr. Townsend said it was a surprise to hear that Ms. Real wanted to get in touch with him and give him back the coin. When the two met, they reminisced and looked at old classroom photos. “Margaret’s just a sweet, sweet lady. She’s quite with it; very sharp,” he said. “She just sort of told me what she had done in her life- time. “It was great because that was the only time that I ever met my grandmother, for those two weeks, so it brought back some nice memories. It was really a nice surprise. It sort of went full circle... a re- ally nice gesture.” Ms. Real said she has reunit- ed with other students from her days teaching at Dundas Street East School in Whitby, now Florence M. Heard Pub- lic School, but described her meeting with Mr. Townsend as “wonderful. “I didn’t know if he’d be a hippie with long hair,” she laughed. “He was very good in kin- dergarten, a nice little boy... the tallest in the class I be- lieve? “I’m very glad (the coin) has gone back to the rightful owner and I think he appre- ciates it now more than he did then because he had the whole set of the British coins.” In exchange for the coin, Mr. To wnsend gave flowers and an apple to his former teacher. “It was cute, wasn’t it?” Ms. Real said.

Although Ms. Real kept the penny with her for 40 years, she says she always felt guilty about taking it and wanted to give it back to her former student. By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — An Oshawa man has won his fight to be compensated for damage due to flooding. Recently, Austin Ferguson made a delegation to the Region’s works and finance and administration committees requesting they fix the flooding problem on the former landfill property located behind his home on Norwill Crescent in Oshawa. He also asked to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in repairing the damage caused by the water seeping into his basement. A motion was carried at the July 5 meeting of Regional Council, indicating the Region and the City of Oshawa will evenly split a $12,000 payment to Mr. Ferguson. “It is a very nice surprise,” Mr. Fergu- son said. “It all worked out in the end.” The motion indicated the payment is to be an ex-gratia payment to Mr. Fer- guson, meaning it is being done as a favour, not because the Region believes it is legally responsible. The payment is contingent on an agreement to provide an easement to extend the catch basin onto regional lands .

The Ajax band, which formed about one-and-a-half years ago, has a wild weekend in store. After a fourth-place showing at the Molson Indy band contest last year, R-O-A, or Rise of Abun- dance, was invited back this year and didn’t have to qualify. The last band of around 30 to take the stage last Sunday, R-O-A lead gui- tarist Ryan Wood says he left the venue not knowing how they did. A day passed, and band members figured they were out of luck. But Wood received a phone call Tuesday telling him R-O-A had won the contest. As a result, the band and a few others are joining ‘Panic! At the Disco’ in a Saturday concert at 6:30 p.m. that has been moved from The Docks to the Molson Amphitheatre in To ronto. Tickets are $22.50 and can be purchased at the venue or through Ticketmaster. “I was just hoping to walk away with a little trophy, third place or something,” Wood says. “I didn’t expect to win.” R-O-A is made up of Wood, bassist Mike Watters, lead vo- calist Matt Royal and drummer Drew Bath, all from Ajax. Wood is extremely pumped at the prospect of playing the large venue, certainly the biggest in the band’s short history. But it gets better. In addition to a big trophy and performing with the internation- ally famous ‘Panic! At the Disco’, R-O-A is receiving a $1,000 photo shoot, and will have their album and liner notes designed and cre- ated by a professional artist. The timing is great, as R-O-A is in the studio finishing its first record, a 12-track album, for release later this summer. The tunes will be all originals, as Wood explains. “We have one cover we play, ‘Comfortable Liar’ by ‘Chevelle’,” he says. “That’s the only cover we’ve ever known.” Wood notes that there wasn’t exactly a huge crowd watching the band at the Molson Indy - but that’s not a concern for Wood and R-O-A. Even if just a few people are in the audience, he says R-O- A gives it all its got. “Our fans are our fire, the rea- son why we play, the reason why we have so much fun at shows,” he says. R-O-A plays “high-energy rock” that Wood describes as “an explo- sion,” and says the band’s fans range in age from five to 45 years old. Wood says he has a clipping on the band from the News Adver- tiser that he looks at for inspira- tion. Now, he’ll also have a trophy to inspire him and R-O-A to even greater heights.

Wilson a free spirit in You, Me and Dupree The following movie opens at area cinemas this weekend: Yo u, Me and Dupree Directed by Anthony Russo Starring: Owen Wilson, Matt Dil- lon, Kate Hudson PG-13 Carl (Dillon) and Molly (Hud- son) have found the one unfor- tunate hitch in their perfectly constructed newly wedded world: Dupree. A slacker with the soul of a poet, Dupree just can’t seem to catch a break from ‘The Man.’ When he takes a week off to best- man Carl and Molly’s marriage in Hawaii, Dupree gets the uncer- emonious heave-ho from his boss. Now jobless, car-less and evicted from the cot at his favourite water- ing hole, he just needs to crash with the Petersons for a couple of days; okay, maybe a month or so. At first, Carl is psyched to have the couch guest while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree’s well-mean- ing antics. But just as the impish buddy starts becoming a fixture in the Petersons’ home, three be- comes not just a crowd... but a full-blown comic catastrophe. As the couple realizes their ideas of a white-picket fence marriage are morphing, their lovable pal serves as a daily reminder that finding your inner Dupree might just be one of life’s hidden secrets.

That’s what Cadenza Produc- tions started last year with its summer production of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. And it’s con- tinuing that tradition of summer entertainment with ‘Fiddler on the Roof’, on stage now until July 22. Uxbridge’s Mike Bridgeman, producer, and who founded Ca- denza with Carol Salamone, said audiences will have a great time, enjoying the music and charac- ters. “This is my favourite play of all time,” he said “and it’s Carol Sal- amone, my partner, her favourite too. It’s huge and it’s popular.” The musical is all about tra- dition and the inevitability of change. Set in a tiny, fictional Anatevka, a poor Jewish village on the eve of the Russian revo- lution, the story follows Tevye and his daughters, all of whom would rather choose their own husbands, which goes against tra- dition. Music, dancing, colourful char- acters and a cast of 40 will keep audiences entertained, Bridge- man said. “I have over 200 costumers in this one. I have got a cast of over 40,” he said. “Little Shop of Horrors had 17 cast members, by comparison.” The director is Michael Sch- neider, who has performed and directed at Oshawa Little Theatre many times. Salamone, music teacher at R.H. Cornish Public School in Port Perry, is the musi- cal director. The stage manager is Lynn Ralph, formerly of Port Perry. Starring as Tevye the milkman is Phil Cook, of Pickering. A pro- fessional actor and singer, he recently directed Oshawa Little Theatre Youth Group’s produc- tion of ‘Anne of Green Gables’. Asked why he wants to perform in an amateur production, he re- plied “Because it’s Fiddler. It’s a classic. Tevye is one of those parts that you wait an entire career to do.” Also appearing are Heather Mc- Cullough (the narrator in Scugog Choral Society’s production of Joseph,) Todd Appleton, an OLT regular, Mary Delaney, who gave a memorable performance as a bag lady both on and off stage in last summer’s Little Shop of Horrors, Jennifer Andrus, who starred op- posite Schneider in OLT’s South Pacific, Joyce Schneider, wife of the director, playing the female lead, Golde, Tevye’s wife. Cook’s wife and son have roles in the chorus and Salamone’s daughter plays one of Tevye’s five daugh- ters. Nina Foxall, an ACT-CO-nomi- nated director and set designer for South Pacific, has designed the Fiddler set. Musicians from across Durham will provide accompaniment for the musical, which includes songs such as Sunrise, Sunset, Match- maker, If I Were A Rich Man and To Life! Fiddler runs July 6 to 8, 13 to 16 and 20 to 22 at Town Hall 1873, Queen and Simcoe streets. Tick- ets are $20, which a portion of the ticket price going to the hall’s renovation fund and profits going to Lakeridge Health Port Perry and Precious Minds, a Scugog group working with children with autism. Tickets are available at Hen- shall’s Clothiers, Queen Street, 905-985-1965. Bridgeman said he’s not sure yet what play he’ll be following up with next year to keep the tradition alive. Meanwhile, he’s always looking for volunteers to help with makeup, carpentry and backstage work. If you’re interest- ed, contact him at 905-852-1836.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 14, 2006 PAGE 25 A/Pdurhamregion.com SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Notre Dame opens gridiron season in Ohio Football Cougars to play Canton Central Catholic High School in pre-season game By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — The Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary School Cougars senior boys’ football team will visit the American pro football shrine and play a pre-season con- test against an area squad during its visit this fall. The Cougars will travel to Canton, Ohio on Sept. 7 and 8 to get its 2007 football season under way. There, they will play the Canton Central Catholic High School Crusaders which, last season, was the seventh-ranked team in Ohio Division IV football. The game is set for the evening of Sept. 8. Notre Dame head football coach Brian Hughes notes the Cougars will begin practises sev- eral weeks earlier than normal in order to prepare for the Ohio trip. The Crusaders represent a stern test for the Cougars, as they play in arguably the most competitive region in the U.S. for high school football. All told, there are seven divisions of high school football in the state. “It’s our first game of the season and it will be their third,” notes Hughes, who’s entering his fifth season as the Cougars’s coach. “It will give us the opportunity to test our abilities against a good team.” The game will come complete with several twists for the Cou- gars. First, Notre Dame will play four-down American football as opposed to the three-down Canadian version. As well, the Crusaders will play for keeps, as the contest counts as part of the team’s schedule. Hughes says he came in con- tact with Canton Central Catho- lic, a private school in the city of approximately 80,000, while scouring the Internet for Ameri- can teams looking for games. It eventually led him to a conversa- tion with Lowell Klinefelter, head coach of the Crusaders who, a week after the proposal for a game was made, agreed to the host the contest, as well as to host the team during a tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. In a recent story in the on- line edition of The Independent newspaper of Massillon, OH, Klinefelter was quoted as say- ing the only other Ohio team with an opening on Week 3 of the Ohio football schedule was Division 1 Strongsville, a tough opponent for the Crusaders at an early juncture in the season. The coach, however, eschewed the game against Strongsville in fa- vour of one against Notre Dame. In the online story, Klinefel- ter admits to not knowing much about Notre Dame, only that he expects they’re a decent team. After returning to Canada fol- lowing the Ohio excursion, the Notre Dame Cougars will suit up against Port Hope’s Trinity Col- lege School Bears in an exhibition game as part of the Kick-Off Clas- sic games hosted in Toronto and in Ottawa. The Cougars play the Bears at Toronto’s Esther Shiner Stadium on Sept. 15.

Indoor camps will hit the court at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate and Notre Dame Catholic Second- ary School in Ajax, with the goal to give campers the chance to learn the necessary tools to play the game and become a very well rounded volleyball player.

The Wanderers men’s first team defeated the Oshawa Vikings firsts 24-12 at the Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club last Sunday afternoon. The victory improved the Wander- ers’ record to 4-2 and puts them in second place in the Toronto Rugby Union’s ‘A1’ standings. Meanwhile, the Wanderers men’s second team scored a 34-28 victory over the Oshawa Vikings seconds. The win vaults the Wan- derers into third place in their division and evens their record to 3-3. The Wanderers men’s thirds also scored a 31-5 victory over their Oshawa counterparts. The Wanderers evened their record at 1-1 and are now in fourth place in the TRU ‘B2’ division standings. The Wanderers women’s team, however, dropped a 27-5 decision to Lindsay. The loss drops the Ajax team’s record to 2-5, good enough for fourth place in the TRU women’s ‘A’ league. This coming weekend, the men’s first and second teams are in Toronto to play the Dragons. The Wanderers women’s are at the Ajax fields on Saturday to play the Crusaders. The Wanderers under-16 play in Brock on Satur- day. In other Wanderers’ news, the club is saddened to report the death of longtime club member Ron Moss on July 5 as a result of a car accident last week. He was 72. According to the Wanderers’ website, Moss was a member of the club and an active member in the Toronto and area rugby com- munity since 1966. Funeral services were held in Oshawa on Tuesday. Follow- ing the service, the Wanderers’ club hosted a reception and an opportunity to reminisce about the good times and memories. He’s survived by his wife, Doro- thy, children Yvonne Friendly and Keith and Sam Moss, nine grand- children and five great-grandchil- dren.

The Cougars pounced on their second tournament title of the season after capturing the Water- loo Invitational Soccer Tourna- ment Crown. It was the third year in the row the Cougars have won their age group at the event. Pickering met the host Water- loo Hawks in the final. In a close game that proved to be a battle in the midfield, Pickering emerged with a 2-1 victory to successfully defend its title. The Cougars won both their matches on the first day of com- petition. The Pickering boys had to shake off some rust, but still were able to beat Aurora 3-1. Playing the Waterloo Cobras in Game 2, Pickering scored an im- pressive 7-1 win. On Day 2 of the tournament, the Cougars cruised past Kitch- ener 7-1 and then blanked the Waterloo Hawks 4-0 to earn a berth in the final. The Cougars are now set to head to Minnesota, where they’ll represent Pickering and Canada at the prestigious Schwan’s Cup. Te ams playing in the tournament include those from Northern Ire- land. Mexico, Costa Rica as well as from across the U.S. and Can- ada. Te am members are Fraser Aird, Nicholas Axhorn, Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Bruce Cullen, Maleik de Freitas, Chris Funke, Lequane Gray, Jalen Griffiths, Darien Hafiz, Justin Haywood, Filip Ljbeveski, Anthony Novak, Raphael Reynolds, Shane Satar, Sean Smith and Rafiq Suleman.

It's been three years and our memory of you is as strong as ever. You are still with us each day in our thoughts and in our hearts. We all miss you so very much for every- thing you gave us. You were there to pick us up when we were down by raising our spirits with your sense of humour and caring advice.
