The Ward 1 regional councillor is chairman of the Taxicab Advi- sory Committee, which has been working since its inception last summer on the bylaw. After the year and a half of work by the committee and taxicab driv- ers and owners in the city, a draft bylaw is now available for com- ment. A public meeting is being held Monday, July 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Civic Complex. After that, the draft or an amend- ed version will come back in the fall for council’s consideration. It would come into effect Jan. 1. The bylaw covers everything from applications to taxicab plate licences to accessible taxicabs to passenger rights and responsibili- ties. Kewal Manocha is pleased with what the committee has accom- plished. “This is a fantastic achievement. It was hard work, but eventually we reached a point that was good for drivers, owners and the envi- ronment,” he said, following the last advisory committee meeting before the public meeting. Mr. Manocha has been a driver in Pickering for 11 years and is a committee member. “I hope this bylaw will bring better service for customers and bring self-respect for owners and drivers,” he said.

With the 18-year-old native of France scheduled for deportation July 23, students at the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology campus gathered July 17 to hear Mr. Nguy- en’s story and show their support for his struggle to stay in Canada. “We need to respond as fel- low humanitarians, as students... to help Matthew stay,” said UOIT student, Jaclyn San Antonio, ex- ecutive of Students Against Social Injustice. Along with Students for Humanitarianism and Action through Respect and Education (SHARE), campus church, and the student association, the group is part of a campus coalition formed to help Mr. Nguyen stay in Canada as a victim of human rights injus- tices. “I just want to make something out of myself and out of my life,” said Mr. Nguyen, while talking to a crowd of more than 50 students at the north Oshawa campus. Mr. Nguyen said he was born Durham students fight to help Matthew stay POOL BUDDIES Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Jonathan Lamont, top, and Graydon Ronson, from Ajax, scramble for the ball while keeping cool in the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area’s giant pool. ✦ See Group, Page 2 in Paris and raised by his mother. In 1993, his mother was in a car accident and he and his three siblings had to learn to live on their own while she recovered. A few years later, she was diagnosed with cancer and two years after, died, leaving Mr. Nguyen an or- phan. The only family they had was in Canada and three of the four children were brought to the country illegally by relatives. Mr. Nguyen was 10 years old when he arrived. “I was kept inside the house for six years doing house chores,” said Mr. Nguyen and added there were other details surrounding his stay that he didn’t want to get into. During those years, he was kept out of school and illegally in the country. “I decided I have to do something about this. Suicide was the first option I considered.” He said he thought of his mother and decided she wouldn’t want him to do that, so instead, he ran away from his relatives to pursue education. He lived on the street for a couple of nights and contacted a social worker who helped him find a place to stay. Mr. Nguyen ended up attending Eastdale Collegiate in Toronto with only a Grade 5 education. In two years, he’s made it to Grade 11 and currently he attends Jar vis Collegiate Institution in Toronto. “I’ve built a life here,” said Mr. Nguy- en. “Having to go back (to France) would be the worst thing to happen to me, especially at this time when I’m halfway done high school.” Mr. Nguyen said to go back now would mean starting his education again. “We’re saying Matthew has been through enough,” said Bruce Lyne, one of Mr. Nguyen’s teachers from East- dale. Mr. Lyne said supporters think the best thing to do to help Mr. Nguyen is to get the minister of immigration to overturn the deportation decision. He added they’re including in their argument that Mr. Nguyen was still a child when he applied for legal status in 2003; he found out June 26 that he was being deported. Mr. Nguyen’s two sisters are also scheduled for deporta- tion and one of them has an extreme case of Down’s syndrome. “His story is so real,” said UOIT stu- dent Munir Nayyer. “It could have been anyone of us, it’s just a matter of cir- cumstance.” Mr. Nayyer said he will support Mr. Nguyen through online campaign ef- forts. “We were really inspired,” added Aamna Nasir, another UOIT student. “I just found his story to be so inspiring, especially since I had someone who was in a similar situation.” Naheed Dosani, president and founder of SHARE, said the goal is to mobilize students to do the right thing and contact the minister. “It is urgent that we make that noise against injustice,” he said. “We’re stu- dents and we care about education, we would stand up for anybody getting educated.” To join the campus coalition’s e-mail campaign, visit www.sharedcuoit.org.

At approximately 1:15 a.m. on Thursday, the officer followed a stolen car into a McDonald’s parking lot in the Port Union and Kings- ton Road area, just inside the Scarborough-Pickering border. The officer partially blocked the stolen car into a parking spot, got out of his unmarked car and verbal- ly identified himself to the driver and passenger, police say. The driver of the vehicle then reversed the car toward the officer and struck the un- marked police car. The officer fired his gun. No injuries have been re- ported. The vehicle, a stolen white, four-door 1995 Plymouth with Ontario licence plate AT PA 418, fled eastbound on Kingston Road. The two sus- pects are described as white, 17 to 18, with light or fair complexions. Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto Police Services 42 Division at 416-808-4200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1- 800-222-TIPS (8477).

The City’s current taxi bylaw dates back to 1986 and it basi- cally just covers fees, Coun. Brenner said. The new bylaw also covers fees, as well as a range of other areas such as the requirement for drivers to complete a driver training and testing program, and clean air cabs, which goes along with the City’s Sustainable Pickering initiative. As an incentive to get 10 per cent of the taxis on Pickering’s streets to be green, the fee for the plate owner licence and plate licence for a clean air cab is half the current $250 and $2,000, respectively. Clean air cabs would include hybrid or electric vehicles, as well as those that run on propane, hy- drogen or other clean fuels. “We can’t force you; all we can do is make it finan- cially more viable for you to go green,” Coun. Brenner told those from the in- dustry at the meet- ing. There are con- cerns, as the bylaw states the City may place three clean air cabs on the road if the industry doesn’t accom- plish the 10-per cent target. Drivers and owners don’t want further competition in an al- ready flooded market. There is even a section listing drivers’ duties, which include a dress code provision. Coun. Brenner points out this was re- quested by drivers. “We should be looking neat and have a pleasant appear- ance,” Mr. Manocha said. “We are ambassadors for the city; we are the first impression of the city.” THE HERBAL PATHWAY/HEALTH FOOD STORE 1822 Whites Rd.

Ajax/Pickering community police were called to the Pal- ace Tavern on Dillingham Road shortly after 2 a.m. regarding a man suffering from several stab wounds. Witnesses at the scene told po- lice two men became involved in a dispute outside the bar, which escalated into a physical confrontation. The suspect fled with two women in a cab head- ing towards Toronto, police say. The victim, who was found with serious life-threatening injuries to his abdomen, was taken to Rouge Valley Health by Durham EMS. He remains in serious con- dition. With the assistance of Toronto Police Service, Durham Region- al Police arrested a suspect at Kingston Road and Mason Street in Scarborough. Brian Michaud, 25, is charged with aggravated assault, posses- sion of dangerous weapons, pos- session of a controlled substance, and three counts of breach of probation. He is being held for a bail hearing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Tom An- drews at 905-683-9100 ext. 2538 or Durham Regional Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Stabbed m an in serious condition Region also releases details of latest fines for restaurants By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The Region’s twice- annual list of convictions under the To bacco Control Act and the Food Premises Regulation may be grow- ing but so too is compliance, ac- cording to John Ingrao. Durham Region’s manager in charge of prosecution and legal ac- tivity said the list, released on July 17, detailing convictions in the past six months, is longer than the one for the previous six months, but in- spectors have been more active. When the Region was preparing for the Smoke Free Ontario legisla- tion to come into effect in May it received instruction from the Prov- ince that it would be required to test every one of the 650 to 700 cigarette vendors in Durham twice a year, says Mr. Ingrao. Previously the Re- gion was required to inspect a por- tion, 150 to 200, each year and the compliance rate was around 92 per cent. The Region has increased its spe- cialized tobacco enforcement team to six and it has hit every vendor in the region at least once in the last six months. Even though the number of con- victions for selling smokes to minors has more than doubled, Mr. Ingrao said the compliance rate has actu- ally increased. “As of today we have a 96.7-per cent compliance rate,” he said, add- ing that provincially the Region does very well in terms of compliance. Under the Tobacco Control Act there has been nearly 50 convictions in the past six months for selling or supplying tobacco in Durham to a person under 19 years old. During the previous six months there were just less than 20 convictions. The tobacco enforcement team also deals with smoking in prohib- ited places. There were six offend- ers in the past six months, includ- ing Joe’s Sports Bar and Billiards on Brock Road in Pickering, which was convicted of 12 counts. The offences, which included fail- ure to prohibit people from smoking in an enclosed workplace, failing to post no-smoking signs, and having ashtrays in a workplace, occurred in November 2005 and the bar was convicted in March. The owner of the establishment was fined $1,500 for two of the counts and given a suspended sen- tence for the remaining 10. Other convictions included two taxi companies, a gas bar and a Gen- eral Motors of Canada employee. The Region’s health department also released this week a list of con- victions under Food Premises Regu- lation 562 for Durham eateries. “Predominantly, inspections are mandatory inspections conducted by public health inspectors,” Mr. In- grao said. “Inspectors look for things like temperature control and cross contamination.” Yo u and Me and Cuisine on Park Road South in Oshawa was convicted of five charges, the most in the region, including failing to store hazardous foods at the proper temperature, failing to protect food from contamination, and operating the premises in a manner adversely affecting sanitary conditions. The fines totaled $350. Racking up three convictions each were The Waterfront Dining on Liverpool Road in Pickering, Forum Drive-in Restaurant on Ritson Road in Oshawa, the Down Omer Res- taurant and Bar on Ritson Road in Oshawa, Out of Rita’s Kitchen on Main Street in Uxbridge, and The Thai Orchid on Kingston Road in Pickering. “A lot of these (establishments) I am sure will not show up on this list again,” Mr. Ingrao said. There is a large educational com- ponent to the health department’s program. It offers a certified food handling course which, Mr. Ingrao said, reinforces the importance of food safety.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 21, 2006 durhamregion.com Be vigilant with whom you entrust your kids S uppose you enrolled your child in a sport and found out the person coaching him had done hard time in prison in three different countries, had twice been busted in massive drug rings and was even implicated in a murder investigation when he admitted to burn- ing a butchered body in a silo on his property. Yo u would think it couldn’t be possible such a man would ever be granted the chance to coach with a record like that, but you’d be wrong. Cecil Russell, who once called Oshawa home, who has what only can be de- scribed as a disgraceful, reprehensible crime resume, is now coaching a youth swim team based in Oakville and Barrie. Mr. Russell, 53, was “outed” in a pair of recent Toronto Star stories and it would be fair to say the reaction to his back- ground has many astounded he is even coaching. After all, the man was banned for life from coaching in Canada in 1997 but, amazingly, had his ban lifted last Oc- tober by the Council for Ethics in Sports. That’s why he’s poolside once again, shaping the swimming careers of young, impressionable people. And somehow he’s convinced their parents that having him coach is fine. In this day and age when anybody who works with youth must pass a police check it is incredible that Mr. Russell coaches, and almost more baffling that an organization would hire him and that parents would put up with him. What kind of life lessons can Mr. Russell im- part? It’s clear the Oakville club either didn’t bother to check Mr. Russell’s background or chose to ignore what was discovered. In fact, in a clear oversight, Swim On- tario does not require background police checks in order that someone coach. It recommends police checks but does not demand them. The former Oakville coach who brought Mr. Russell into the club was apparently unaware of his unsavory past. What’s sad is that, like anything else, the fact that Mr. Russell is coaching de- spite his brutal past, taints all who work with youth. I mean, what’s to say your son or daughter’s coach is clean? If Mr. Rus- sell can coach, can’t just about anybody? His active involvement in sport is a warning to all parents to make sure all the proper procedures are followed and that anybody who chooses to work with youth must be above suspicion. While we long ago passed the point where pro athletes served as role models for young people, surely we need our minor sports coaches to fit the bill. And Cecil Russell is clearly nobody’s idea of a role model. Tim Kelly is an editor with the Metro- land Durham Region Media Group. E- mail tkelly@durhamregion.com. Coach’s past a warning to parents Tim Kelly staff editor DVDs not best way to get message out To the editor: I read with interest the Durham Works newsletter and the article on ‘Green Means Go.’ I am somewhat fanatical about recycling, conserving en- ergy and reducing waste. I noted that along with these bins 132,000 households will be receiving an instructional DVD. I phoned the works department to find out if these DVDs were biodegradable or recyclable. I was told that I could per- haps make something out of the plastic, or take the disc back to the works department so they could give it to someone else. Sending out 132,000 pieces of plastic that cannot properly be disposed of is contrary to the message the Region is trying to get out. Josephine Geraghty Oshawa Young man deserves to stay in Canada T an ‘Matthew’ Nguyen was nothing more than your average high school student trying to get good grades and move on to college or university -- until two weeks ago. Then, suddenly, Mr. Nguyen, 18, became a major story as his hardscrabble existence in Toronto and his imminent deportation to France, set for July 23, galvanized a small army of dedicated supporters to fight for him. Last Friday, Mr. Nguyen appeared at the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology campus where he received plenty of encouragement from students in his bid to stay in Canada. “We need to respond as fellow humanitarians, as stu- dents... to help Matthew stay,” said UOIT student Jaclyn San Antonio, executive of Students Against Social Injustice. Added Naheed Dosani, another UOIT student and presi- dent of Students for Humanitarianism and Action through Respect and Education, “It is urgent that we make noise against injustice. We’re students and we care...” Mr. Nguyen was the subject of a major feature in the To ronto Star on July 8. What followed was a flurry of letters to the editor, a website dedicated to helping him stay in Canada (www.helpmatthewstay.com), and television and radio stories about him. Mr. Nguyen has led a tough life to say the least. Essen- tially orphaned at age 10 -- his father left the family when he was very young and his mother died -- he was then brought illegally to Canada from his native France, by rela- tives. He stayed home and did not attend school until 16, when he ran away and finally began his education. He has progressed to the point where he is now starting Grade 11 at Jar vis Collegiate in Toronto -- but has been denied an application to stay in Canada and will be deported this Sunday, unless a last-ditch effort by his lawyer to allow him to stay is accepted. Mr. Nguyen has made many friends and has a long list of growing tributes backing his cause to remain here. His story can appeal to any of us. He has fought for positive change in his life and wants to make a strong contribution in the only country he considers home: Canada. He’s an example of the type of young, ambitious person Canada would like to attract. However, Mr. Nguyen is here right now -- it only seems an act of cruelty to send him back to a land he barely knows and where he has no support system. He should be allowed to remain here. Community volunteers make up collaboratives DURHAM — Te ams of volunteers are willing and ready to help make the Central East Local Health Integration Network serve its communities as best it can. Nearly 100 residents and health-care providers from across Scarborough, Durham Region, Northum- berland-Havelock, Peter- borough, Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton Highlands have volunteered to join local health planning ad- visory teams or collabora- tives to support the Central East LHIN in developing an integrated health services plan (IHSP) to better co-or- dinate health-care services. Local teams have been created in nine zones, in- cluding Durham East, Dur- ham West, Durham North Central, and Northumber- land-Havelock. “This kind of collabora- tion, embracing consumers and caregivers, front-line workers and health-care professionals, community and social services repre- sentation, and health-care administrators and private- sector employers, writes the textbook on the LHIN concept,” said George Smi- therman, minister of health and long-term care, in a let- ter read to volunteers at an orientation session in late June. “The range of indi- viduals, and the breadth of experience and exper- tise and enthusiasm each brings to the collaborative, is a virtual guarantee of the success of the Central East LHIN in reaching out to the heart of the community to fulfil its mandate.” In late April and early May, individuals from across the Central East community were invited to join one of the nine community-based teams, whose role will be to sup- port and advise the Central East LHIN on local health- system performance, stra- tegic priority setting, plan- ning and evaluation. The Central East group had a lot of applicants. “The response from the community was over- whelming and the calibre of people who sent in an expression of interest form was outstanding,” says Fos- ter Loucks, chairman of the board of directors. Collaborative mem- bers are knowledgeable about population needs and health-care challenges in their communities and they bring a variety of per- spectives to the table. They begin meeting in August to review LHIN-wide health- care strategies related to mental health and addic- tion, seamless care for se- niors, and chronic disease prevention and manage- ment. Their input will be in- corporated into the IHSP, which will then be available for public comment before submission to the minister on Oct. 31. To submit comments or questions for consid- eration by the collabora- tives, call Karen O’Brien- Monaghan, consultation co-ordinator, at 905-427- 5497 or 1-866-804-5446 ext. 212, or e-mail karen. obrienmonaghan@lhins. on.ca.

On Friday, GM president Rick Wag- oner met with Carlos Ghosn, presi- dent of Renault and Nissan, to discuss the potential of creating an industrial alliance among the three companies. The companies agreed to co-oper- ate in an expeditious, confidential re- view of the potential benefits of such an alliance to each company and the feasibility of achieving it. “We had a good discussion today, and are looking forward to having our teams work together to explore our ideas,” Mr. Wagoner and Mr. Ghosn said in a joint statement. “It is important to let our teams work on this review without distraction and, therefore, we will not be providing further public comments about it at this time.” It is expected that this review will take approximately 90 days. Follow- ing this review, the companies will consider whether further exploration of the alliance concept is warranted.

Rob Mitchell/ News Advertiser photo By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — The fight for fund- ing is constant for the Volunteer Resource Centre for Durham. But, according to the centre’s ex- ecutive director, Nancy Burke, a re- cent contribution from the federal government will do much to secure the centre’s future. After nearly being forced to close its doors in February, Services Can- ada has awarded the Centre funding for three positions on a six-month contract. “With these three individuals doing the marketing work, I can focus on fundraising,” said Ms. Burke, who was the lone employee prior to the funding. The Centre now employs a mar- keting co-ordinator, an event plan- ner and a volunteer co-ordinator. “I submitted a request to (Servic- es Canada); I outlined the positions and they approved the request,” she said. The marketing person will in- crease awareness in the com- munity, according to Ms. Burke, while the special event co-ordina- tor will organize two fund-raising events and the volunteer co-ordina- tor will work to increase internal volunteering. “They will assist us in getting things done that we wouldn’t nor- mally have been able to do,” Ms. Burke said. “It will enable us to ac- complish so much more.” The Volunteer Resource Centre for Durham Region provides volun- teer recruitment and referral servic- es to people who want to volunteer and not-for-profit organizations in need of volunteers. Its mission is to foster, develop and sustain growth in volunteerism in order to help build a strong and dynamic community.

YOUR TABLE’S WAITING 19 99$ durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 21, 2006 World’s largest rocking chair now resides in Pickering By Alistair Lowe Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — It is 13 feet tall, eight feet wide, weighs 1,700 pounds and is red and yellow all over. What is it? Bob Mowforth and Doug Peters’s rocking chair. Co-owners of The Solid Wood and Ta ble Company, Mr. Mowforth and Mr. Peters originally had the chair designed and built “as an attraction for (their) booth at the Brampton Home Show” in 2001. “So many people commented on the chair,” said Mr. Mowforth. “We decided to pursue a Guinness World Record.” Actually, this is the second chair the duo and their company has built. The prototype was of similar size and con- struction, however it failed due to an engineering problem, and glue that was not strong enough. “It was more work than we expected,” agreed Mr. Peters and Mr. Mowforth. “People don’t realize the amount of engineering and physics that go into constructing a rocking chair,” said Mr. Mowforth. Built at their Midland, ON location, the chair took more than one month, $40,000, and four gallons of paint to construct. With considerable foresight, the chair was built in two separate pieces for easier transport. It is made of pine and cedar and actually rocks, but for insur- ance purposes “we had to put chocks under the rockers to stop it from mov- ing,” commented Mr. Peters. Sadly, for the same insurance reasons, the public is not allowed to sit on the chair, as a sign clearly states. Mr. Peters and Mr. Mowforth feel theft and vandalism is a concern, therefore cameras have been installed for added security. It took over a year to receive the of- ficial word from The Guinness Book of World Records. When asked why the chair isn’t on the Guinness Book website, Mr. Peters explained that “they have so many records that they rotate them. “It keeps the book interesting from year to year and if the book had all the records in it, it would be far to big,” he said. The Solid Wood and Table Company encourages the public to drop by and see the chair and take pictures. They also plan to inquire about having a sign put on Hwy. 401, indicating its location at 1020 Brock Rd. S., in Pickering. These guys are truly off their rocker Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Solid Wood Bed and Table co-owners Doug Peters and Bob Mowforth stand in front of the world’s largest rocking chair, presently on display at their Pickering store.

Pair charged in Pickering fraud DURHAM — A Toronto couple is facing fraud-related charges after police say they used counterfeit traveller’s cheques in Pickering. Ajax-Pickering community police were called to the Pickering Town Centre on Thursday after a man and woman were observed making numerous pur- chases at various outlets at the mall. Fred Paradie, 43, and Andrea Vardy, 41, are jointly charged with five counts of fraud under $5,000, six counts of utter- ing forged documents and possession of property obtained by crime. Mr. Paradie is also charged with failure to comply with probation. The ac- cused were released from custody and will appear in Oshawa court on Sept. 5. Police say retailers should be aware of an increase in counterfeit American Express traveller’s cheques in Durham Region. The denomination used has al- ways been $100 Canadian. Police suggest if a retailer is suspicious or has concerns about a traveller’s cheque they contact American Express for verification or call the police. Anyone with information about coun- terfeit traveller’s cheques or fraud is asked to contact Det. Const. Jeff Caplan or Det. Const.

In brief JULY 21, 2006 By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Safety in Durham schools shouldn’t be jeopardized if a set of Safe Schools Act recommenda- tions is approved by the Province. The recommen- dations, which came following a review of the Safe Schools Act, will be studied by the gov- ernment over the summer with a re- sponse developed for the fall. The Act was implemented in 2000 and has since re- ceived numerous complaints about fairness. Durham’s Catholic and public school boards are not concerned by the recently released sugges- tions. “There was no recommen- dation, I don’t believe, where they were going to take major things out of the Safe Schools Act,” said Craig Burch, the Durham District School Board’s director of educa- tion. Originally, he was concerned major changes could occur. “I believe our balance is quite reasonable right now and I hope that bal- ance doesn’t change and it doesn’t appear to be,” said Mr. Burch. Paul Pulla, a superinten- dent for the Durham Catho- lic District School Board, said it doesn’t appear any of the recommendations would hinder school safety if ap- proved. “I think one of the con- cerns most boards had was they would scrap the Safe Schools Act altogether,” said Mr. Pulla. Some significant changes in the recommendations are eliminating having two types of expulsions; right now, there are school and board- wide expulsions. Mr. Burch said principals have reported some parents find the two types and their determina- tion confusing. Mr. Burch is in favour of the suggestion. To Mr. Pulla, including mitigating factors for disci- pline into the Act, such as age and grade, is a good rec- ommendation. He added it hasn’t been a factor at Dur- ham Catholic, but it’s always nice to establish provincial protocol. “In some boards in the province, it may have been applied in a more black-and- white way,” said Mr. Pulla. The public board currently considers the circumstanc- es in each case as well. Mr. Burch doesn’t like current implications that, under the Act, each specific case is not viewed individually. “The (suggestion) that we don’t consider each circum- stance is a myth,” said Mr. Burch. “We’ve always consid- ered all the different shades of grey in each circumstance.” Also suggested was re- moving a teacher’s right to suspend students, which has never occurred in the public board anyway, he said. “We like the recommen- dations very much,” said Mr. Burch. “They believe in pro- gressive discipline and we’ve had a progressive discipline program in place for two- and-a-half years.” Mr. Burch is also in favour of alternative programs for expelled students. Durham school boards currently offer a Return Ticket program. “We’ve had such success, how could I disagree with all boards having it,” he said.

The Oshawa campus’s faculty of science recently received more than $38,000 from the Canada Founda- tion for Innovation (CFI) to develop a research lab for parasite treat- ment. Dr. Kamiel Gabriel, associate provost of research at UOIT, said the funding will be matched by the provincial government and UOIT is also receiving some private con- tributions to bring its value up to $90,000. “We’re pretty thrilled here,” said Sean Forrester, who was awarded the opportunities grant to further his parasitic studies. Although he wasn’t expecting the grant, Dr. For- rester said he was hoping. “It’s probably the most impor- tant component in my research,” he said. An assistant professor at UOIT, he has been studying the genet- ics of parasitic worms that infect cattle and sheep in North America. With the funds, he’ll be able to pur- chase lab equipment to examine the nervous system of the worms. Dr. Forrester said there are many anti- parasitic drugs available, but some worms are adapting. “You always have to stay one step ahead of the parasites,” he said. In Durham, the equipment can be used in collaboration with research- ers from other institutions, said Dr. Forrester. It will also benefit gradu- ate and undergraduate students. The new lab equipment can be used to study other types of parasites and hosts as well. “Right now we’re building our re- search capacity,” said Dr. Forrester. Currently, he is the only person at the university working on parasitic drugs. “For a new institution with mini- mal laboratory resources, the fund- ing allows us to have a real boost,” said Dr. Gabriel.

Innovative funds help in the fight against parasites Educators come together to make transition smooth By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — With funds from the Ministry of Edu- cation, school boards have been working on plans to make the transition to high school easier for struggling students. “Most kids are really ner- vous when they start high school,” said Karen Hume, an education officer for stu- dent success at the Durham District School Board. She said the ministry funded every school board across the province for tran- sition days. The days allow a board’s educators to share their school’s plans for mak- ing the entrance to second- ary school smoother. “What it does for us now is give us a sharing opportu- nity,” said Ms. Hume. She said the funds pay for supply teacher coverage, lunch, copies of paperwork and resource packages for the transition meetings. The Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board also holds transition forums, which in- clude Grade 7 and 8 teachers, high school guidance coun- sellors, elementary and sec- ondary teachers responsible for serving special-needs students, principals and vice- principals, as well as student success teachers. John Mal- loy, a superintendent of edu- cation at the board, said of- ficials have been involved in transition planning for some time. “The funding will help because it will provide us with an opportunity to re- lease teachers to participate in these conversations,” said Mr. Malloy. The board’s transition plans include meeting with families of schools; inviting high school and elementary teachers to meet through- out the year and learn how things are taught and how the transition can be made smoother; and developing new ways for students to visit high school before they at- tend. “This is great stuff,” said Mr. Malloy. “In my personal opinion, we’re really focus- ing on those issues that im- pact students and student success the most.” According to the minis- try, nearly 27 per cent of last year’s Grade 9 students did not earn all of their compul- sory first-year credits and are already facing an uphill battle toward graduation. The Province’s transition plan includes more teach- ers, intensive professional development and improved tracking of students and their progress. Ms. Hume said research suggests going from Grade 8 to 9 is one of the biggest tran- sitions to occur in a person’s life. “They’re afraid of the un- known,” she said. Ms. Hume said some kids don’t adjust as easily as oth- ers and may not be as good with organizational skills or particular subjects. For stu- dents educators may be con- cerned about, some schools look at their timetable and make sure it’s balanced with some subjects they are really good at and enjoy. Ms. Hume said some high school transition programs include taking kids into high schools to sit in on classes, having high school peer men- tors go to elementary schools to talk about high school, and holding after-school tutoring at high schools. In a non-competitive environment kids can truly enjoy learning how to play soccer. After all, when you don’t keep score, everybody wins. That's why your local Tim Hortons is proud to support over 3,500 kids playing Timbits Soccer throughout Durham Region. In this game there are no opponents. Only friends. The first goal is having fun.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 21, 2006 PAGE 17 A/Pdurhamregion.com Demands increase during the hottest months DURHAM — As water demand increases 50 to 80 per cent during the summer months, the Region of Durham is reminding residents to conserve water wherever possible, espe- cially when watering lawns. A Region bylaw states, in part, that resi- dences with an even street number are asked to water lawns on even-numbered calendar days, while odd-numbered homes are to water on odd-numbered calendar days. Fur- thermore, limiting car washing, pool mainte- nance, or installing a low-flow shower head or toilet dam can help during the peak water use season, which runs from May to Septem- ber. It is also a way to save on water bills. When watering lawns, a sprinkler that sprays low to the ground and delivers large droplets is more water efficient, as opposed to a sprinkler that sprays higher into the air, losing water through evaporation. Early morning hours, before the temperature reaches its daily peak, are the best time to water the lawn, which only requires 2.5 cen- timetres (one inch) of water, including rain- fall, per week. The Region offers free water gauges. To pick up a free gauge call or visit the following distribution centres: Vandermeer Nursery, 588 Lakeridge Rd. N., Ajax, 905- 427-2525; Pickering Civic Complex, 1 The Esplanade, Pickering, 905-420-4620; Pine Ridge Garden Gallery, 2215 Brock Rd.

As co-ordinator of the sixth annual CAPPY Ride, Mr. Brozina is hopeful the 50 or so riders who joined him on the fundraising run last year will be eclipsed this Saturday, July 22, when members of the motorcy- cle community once again gather to support the Dur- ham Children’s Aid Foun- dation. Slated to launch from the Country Style Donuts franchise in Manchester, at the intersection of Hwys. 12 and 7A, the CAPPY (Child Abuse Prevention and Protection of Youth) Ride will take participants on a winding 230-kilometre tour through the back-country of Northumberland and Kawartha Lakes, as well as a lap around the fabled Mosport International Raceway, before wrapping up at Ocala Orchards Win- ery, just southwest of Port Perry. Registration for the ride begins at 7:15 a.m. in Man- chester, with a departure time set for 9 a.m. sharp. It is expected the run will wind its way back to Ocala around 1 p.m., where par- ticipants will be welcomed with a barbecue lunch. There is a registration fee of $35 for each motorcycle driver, and $15 for passen- gers, and all participants are encouraged to garner additional funds through sponsorship pledges. All monies collected, stresses Mr. Brozina, are forwarded to the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation, as costs associated with the event are covered through sponsors, such as the Mis- sissaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. And, with those funds, continues Mr. Brozina, the Foundation has the ability to put a smile on a number of children’s faces. As part of its initiative, the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation assists chil- dren who have suffered from abuse or neglect with needs not covered by gov- ernment programs. The Foundation’s assis- tance includes providing scholarships, books, tools and apprenticeship pro- grams for Crown wards, as well as medical care, speech therapy and assis- tive devices such as wheel- chairs. “I have always said that CAPPY dollars work mir- acles with Durham’s most vulnerable children, but last year the miracle was in the generosity of spirit of over 50 motorcyclists and a crew of dedicated volun- teers who know to turn the joy of giving into a good time for all,” says Mr. Bro- zina. For more information, call Mr. Brozina at 905-985- 9003, the Durham Chil- dren’s Aid Society at 905- 433-1551, extension 2378, or visit www.durhamcas. ca.

They are anxious, nervous, and above all else, feel a sense of hope- lessness. “I don’t wish this feeling on anybody,” said Joanne Elawar, whose 49-year-old brother, Saady, is among some 40,000 Canadians believed to be in Lebanon who now find themselves stuck in the middle of a conflict between Israel and the Lebanese-based militant group Hez- bollah. “I’ve been on the phone trying to get a hold of whoever I can just to see how we can help. It’s like your hands are tied,” said Ms. Elawar, who is in Ajax with her mother hoping for the safe return of her brother and sister-in-law, Mayada. She also has an aunt there as well. Ms. Elawar said her brother left for Lebanon on May 27, before the missile strikes began, but with the airport and local roads now destroyed, it’s difficult to know when or how he can return. On Sunday, seven Canadians from a Mon- treal family visiting the country were killed in an air strike in Lebanon. “They hear the bombings,” is what her brother relayed over the phone, Ms. Elawar said. “They haven’t gotten as close to them, but he says they can hear them. It’s very nerve-racking. It’s (too) late for the peo- ple in Montreal, but I’m hoping that my brother can come through safe -- him and his wife.” Walid Elawar, Ms. Elawar’s other brother, said he is also doing all he can to bring home his wife and four-year-old son who are stranded in the city of Sha- roon. “The country is totally, absolutely, sys- tematically hit and paralyzed right now,” said Mr. Elawar, who lives in Whitby. He sounded weary and exhausted recount- ing conditions on the ground in Leba- non. “The situation is extremely bad. There is no hydro, there is no water. They’re running out of food. Food is getting scarce and it’s only been a few days. My four-year-old tells me: ‘Dad, they’ve bombed the airport and bombed every- where.’” Mr. Elawar is now using his connec- tions as president of the Canadian Druze Society, a religious charity based in On- tario, to network with Canadian MPs and MPPs to see what it can do to influence the situation. While the United States government is planning to evacuate some 25,000 American citizens in Leba- non, Mr. Elawar said he feels “disgusted” and “betrayed” by what he believes has been a delayed response by the Cana- dian government. “I feel that we’ve been, as Lebanese people, stabbed in the back by our gov- ernment. There has been absolutely no sign of compassion, no sign of sorrow, no sign of humanity, from our govern- ment toward the Lebanese people and Canada is known for it’s tolerance and compassion and acceptance,” said Mr. Elawar, who has lived in Whitby for 17 years and owns Wally’s World Restaurant in Oshawa. “We are Canadians and proud Ca- nadians. At least we should hear (some apology) from our prime minister or for- eign affairs minister. We love this country ... and to see this kind of behaviour... it’s insane. — with files from Torstar durhamregion.comP PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 21, 2006 Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Joanne Elawar is waiting on word of when her brother, Saady, and his wife will return to Canada. The couple left in June for a vacation in Lebanon and was to have returned at the end of this month. However, with the escalating violence in Lebanon, he and thousands of other Canadians are trapped there and desperately try- ing to get back home.

Start with a good soil preparation. If you’re starting a new lawn, you’ll never regret the investment you make now in improving the soil. Grass grows best in a well-drained blend of topsoil, sand and organic matter several inches deep. Remove any hard packed snow patches and rake out old thatch to allow the grass to “breathe”. Top up with a specially formulated soil for lawns such as Hillview Top Dresser or Green Earth Premium Compost. 2. Seed if necessary. As with fertilizer, buying quality grass seed pays off in a thicker lawn. Use a good quality mixture such as C-I-L® Golf- green™ to patch bare spots, or spread overall late in fall or early spring. Rake lightly to ensure the seed contacts the soil, apply a starter fer- tilizer and water as necessary to keep the lawn from drying out. 3. Control crabgrass. (Mainly in Ontario) If crabgrass was a problem last year, apply a Crab- grass Preventer in early spring to control crab- grass as it starts to germinate. 4. Control broadleaf weeds. Weeds like dan- delion, plantain, chickweed and others compete with grass for soil nutrients... and they usually win. If your lawn has a few weeds, spot-treat them with Lawn WeedOut. But if your lawn is over-run with weeds, then a “Weed & Feed” fertilizer is your best bet. 5. Water...but only if needed. Don’t be afraid to let the top surface of the soil dry out...this will encourage deep-rooted, stress-tolerant grass. 6. Control insects. White grubs, chinch bugs, leather-jackets, ants, wireworms and many common insects could destroy your lawn if conditions favour them. Try this: Cut off both ends of a coff ee tin, sink half way into the lawn, and fi ll with water. If several chinch bugs make their way to the surface, apply a lawn insect control product such as C-I-L® GrubOut. 7. Use the correct mower height. In dry summer weather, let the lawn grow out a bit, and then cut with the lawn mower set up higher. In the fall, cut shorter again to avoid giving turf diseases a place to develop in the foliage. 8. If you don’t need to control weeds or insects, don’t. Application of a regular lawn fertilizer like Golden Vigoro 24-4-8 every 10 to 12 weeks may be all you need to keep your lawn healthy. 9. Rake leaves so the grass can breathe. Chopped up, they make a great mulch for gar- dens. 10. Don’t forget to feed in the fall. It’s one of the most important feedings. For strengthening turf over the winter, use a fertilizer with less ni- trogen than a spring fertilizer, but higher potash levels. Th e nitrogen stays put under the snow cover, ready for a quick start in the spring. hotner greenhouseS hotner greenhouseS hotner greenhouseS Columbus ThicksonHwy 2Brooklin ** homegrown fl owers • excellent quality • wide selection • PROVEN WINNERS Hotner Greenhouses operates a seasonal garden centre serving Brooklin for over 20 years WY 12, NORT OF BROOKLIN 905-655-5866 OPEN 7 Days a Week Ample Parking Perennials regular price off40% All boxed plants Flat $7.00 10” hanging basket Now $5.99 Reg. $14.99 Blow-Out Clearance Now 12” anging basket Reg $24.99 $12.99Now Mother Geraniums $7.99 4” pots Reg $2.69 $1.99 Now Flat of 14 pots $14 ForOR 6” Sunshine Impatiens $3.50Now We still have a great selectionWe still have a great selection www.arntstopsoil.comwww.arntstopsoil.com BEST SELECTION, EXTENSIVE DISPLAYS & EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE 905-683-0887905-683-0887 416-984-4332416-984-4332 VISIT OR CALL US TODAY!VISIT OR CALL US TODAY!PICKERINGPICKERING 2490 Brock Rd.

And coincidentally, a ‘s tone toss’ is a featured competition at the games. This year in Uxbridge’s Elgin Park, July 22 and 23, specta- tors will take in a variety of Scottish-inspired contests alongside the stone toss, in- cluding a caber toss, weight throws, sheaf toss, and Dur- ham Drag. The latter is an open competition which sees entrants pick up a weight of approximately 210 lbs. in each hand and walk as far as possible with them. Cash prizes are awarded for the best results. The caber toss dates back as far as the 16th century, and involves contestants throwing logs, ranging from 100 to 120 lbs., end-over-end so the caber ends up pointing directly away from the thrower. The straightest toss determined the winner. The empha- sis on competition will be pronounced this year, with the Durham Games hosting the Heavy Events Canadian Scottish Athletic Federation (CSAF) Invitational Cham- pionships over the week- end. The championship will see a number of top athletes from across the country go head to head. “We had to bid for the heavy games (champion- ship),” said organizer Jan Bennett. Along with the pro- fessional competition, Ms. Bennett said children can have a wee go, too. “There’s a mini heavy games for kids, parents can drop them off and do their own thing, it’s totally supervised.” The gates for the High- land Games open at 7 a.m. on July 22, with the offi- cial opening ceremonies at noon that day, marked by various bands including the Uxbridge Legion Pipes and Drum, which will also perform at 4:20 p.m. The first event, beginning at 8 a.m., will be a Highlands Dance Competition, featur- ing dancers “from all over” said Ms. Bennett. Along with heavy games champi- onship, the Ontario Town Crier Competition will also be hosted by the Games over the two days, kicking off July 22 at 9 a.m. Two-time defending pro- vincial champion, and Ux- bridge’s own town crier, Bill McKee, will host the crier competition. But because of his hosting responsibili- ties he can’t win the event, said Mr. McKee. However he noted among the 28 competitors from around Ontario will be his brother, David McKee, town crier of Brantford. The awards for the crier will be handed out July 23 when the competi- tion wraps up. Only on July 23, starting at 9 a.m., a British antique car and bike show will be featured in the park. Kick- ing off that day is the Celtic Classic 10-kilometre Run, starting at 8 a.m. and fin- ishing at Elgin Park, which will see participants travel a route through town. The early registration fee (be- fore July 17) of $26 and the regular fee of $30 include admission to the Games the remainder of the day. Run- ners can register in person July 22 and up to 7:30 a.m. July 23, or online at www. eventsonline.ca or www. runningfree.ca. A Scottish- breed dog show will also be featured July 23. Leading up to the games is a Tartan Golf Classic, July 19 at Royal Ashburn Golf Club. Ex-National Hockey League goaltender Glenn Healy will host the classic, which begins at 12:30 p.m. Registration is $225 includ- ing practice driving range and green, golf cart, $500 closest-to-the-hole contest, silent and live auctions, as well as lunch and dinner featuring roast beef and haggis. Also up for grabs is a Claymore sword, originat- ed in Scotland, and a ‘best dressed’ prize for those donning a kilt. Registration for the tournament is still open, said Ms. Bennett. The ‘Tartan Terrors’ will get resi- dents into the Celtic mood July 21 with a concert begin- ning at 8 p.m. Admission is $8 in advance on the Games website, or $10 at the gate. Moira Kerr and the Glen- garry Bhoys will also enter- tain throughout the event. The “burning of a Viking ship” will end the Games at 5 p.m. on July 23, however the event will officially wrap up with a ‘White Heather Ball’ dance July 29 at the Scugog Community Centre on Reach Street. Tickets for each day are $15 at the gate or on the Games’ website. Highlands of Durham Games Inc. is a non-profit organization supported by sponsorships and run by volunteers.

Young artists featured at gallery Former Ajacian among exhibitors By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — Like many children, when she was younger Melissa Pauw had an imaginary friend. Now that she’s older, the Whitby woman is giving other people imaginary friends -- at least in her art. She is one of four artists with Durham links featured in ‘Mind Map,’ a new ex- hibit at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. It’s the gallery’s fourth sum- mer exhibition of young contemporary artists. Pauw’s imaginary friends can be seen along with works by Ajax-raised Myles Ross Bartlett, Holly de Bourbon and Sarah McDougall. In their art, all four interpret the issues of place, isolation and anxiety. “I have one short video and six draw- ings,” Pauw said of her part in the exhibit. “The video is comprised of footage shot in Vancouver. All of the people I filmed are strangers. I’ve animated over top of that footage with animated drawings and I’ve given each person in the video an imaginary friend.” There’s a man sitting near some stairs, talking on the telephone, while nearby an imaginary cowboy twirls his lariat. Or the woman shopper who sits unaware of the imaginary dancer nearby. “I guess it all comes from myself hav- ing an imaginary friend as a child,” Pauw said. “We lose that kind of thing when we become adults. I think it is important that they were strangers,” she added. She left Whitby four years ago to study art. She’s just returned from getting her masters in Vancouver, a city where she was a stranger to many people. “I was working around the idea of strangers, being a stranger in a large city. I think a lot of it had to do with travelling on the bus and people not talking to each other, people in their own bubbles.” There’s also something in her work related to childhood and a sense of loss that adulthood brings. “All of my work has a little bit of this playful, child-like quality,” she said. Now home again with her fam- ily, Pauw is excited to be part of the McLaughlin exhibit. “It’s really nice. It came at such a nice time for me, just to have moved back. To participate in an exhibit right away is re- ally great for me,” she said. Bartlett is now based in Windsor and To ronto. His digital work in the exhibit is comprised of a series of pictures and short video of himself and his doppel- ganger. He has cloned himself in the images, eating, working, fighting and playing together in a series called (still) playing with myself. McDougall, of Bowmanville, has taken photographs of derelict buildings in Claremont, Newcastle, Oshawa and Whitby, including the old Whitby Psy- chiatric Hospital. The black-and-white photos have been transcribed into paintings, show- ing what people have left behind. De Bourbon, raised in Oshawa and now based in Toronto, has painted works reminiscent of free-form jazz, psychedelic experimentation and tribal prints, according to curator Olexander Wlasenko in the exhibit catalogue. She has produced works for the Os- hawa Jazz and Blues Festival. The exhibit runs through Sept. 10 at the gallery, 72 Queen St. National Screen Institute wants to read your film script DURHAM — The National Screen Institute (NSI), in association with Telefilm Canada and The Brian Line- han Foundation, is seeking filmmaker teams from across the country. ‘NSI Features First,’ a 10-month training program for up to five teams, will help emerging filmmakers devel- op their first or second feature-length film.

Brandon Robinson, 14, a member of Skyriders Tr ampoline place in Richmond Hill, finished second in the level 10 (national) synchro trampoline event with Skyriders partner Braeden Hunt. The duo worked on two new routines for the U.S. meet only three weeks before the competi- tion. Robinson also competed in the level 10 individual trampoline event, finishing fifth.

Phil Lacombe, the Pirates’ manager, was named as the bull- pen coach for the Walker Division squad. The Walker Division all-star team also includes Ajax resident Brad Hanna, who’s a catcher-third baseman-pitcher with the Brooklin Dodgers.

Brandon Robinson Panthers prepare for training camp Pickering juniors take the ice Aug. 21 PICKERING — Expect the Pickering Panthers to be lean and mean when the junior hockey team enters its training camp next month. According to Panthers’ general manager Frank Robinson, the team will invite approximately 30 hopefuls to the OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club’s camp, starting on Monday, Aug. 21 at the Pickering Recreation Complex’s O’Brien ice pad. He notes that number is more manageable than previous camps. “With the situation with so many teams competing in the same area, the days of 40 kids coming to camp are over and done,” says Robinson. Of those 30 players, Robinson expects to have 15 to 20 players already signed prior to camp, leav- ing precious few roster spots up for grabs. First and foremost for the Pan- thers, says Robinson, is signing a goaltender out of training camp. Incumbent starter Mark Duchesne has opted to attend London’s Fan- shawe College in the Police Foun- dation course, thus his first season with the Panthers was also his last. Robinson notes, however, that he plans to have a puck stopper signed before the beginning of camp. The team also has to address needs on the blue line, brought on by the graduation of team cap- tain and longtime Panther Ryan Annesley. The South Conference defenceman of the year last year has signed on for an athletic schol- arship with the NCAA Division 1 Niagara University Purple Eagles. “We need to shore up things on defence,” says Robinson. “We’re strong up front, but we need to shore up our back end a little bit.” The Panthers will lose at least three veteran forwards from last season. Four-year veteran Andrew Dissanayake will attend NCAA Di- vision III Fredonia State College in the fall. Meanwhile, Tyler Melan- con has been signed by the Ontario Hockey League’s Guelph Storm and Patrick Jobb has been traded to the Cobourg Cougars for future considerations. The Panthers have also an- nounced its five-game exhibition schedule for the 2006-07 cam- paign. The schedule is as follows: • Thursday, Aug. 24 vs. Cobourg Cougars, Pickering Recreation Complex, 7:30 p.m.; • Friday, Aug. 25 at Cobourg Cou- gars, Cobourg Memorial Arena, 8:30 p.m.; • Tuesday, Aug. 29 vs. Bowmanville Eagles, Pickering Recreation Com- plex, 7:30 p.m.; • Sunday, Sept. 3 at Bowmanville Eagles, Garnet B. Rickard complex, 6:30 p.m.; • Thursday, Sept. 7 vs. Capital Dis- trict (CD) Selects (Troy, New York), Pickering Recreation Complex, 7:30 p.m. As well as the exhibition sched- ule, the Panthers have also accepted an invitation to attend the 12-team Woodchuck Classic in Burlington, Ve r mont from Sept. 8 to 10. The Panthers will play three games in this showcase tournament against three U.S. junior teams. Panthers’ Postscript The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s regular-season schedule should be released soon, as there has been a delay caused by the one- year absence granted to the South Conference’s Toronto Thunderbirds.

The girls belong to the Whitby Yacht Club race team, which consists of members ages 14 to 17. They race all over southern Ontario, and will take part in the Frenchman’s Bay Regatta later this summer. Frank, Peter in the city for signing session PICKERING — ‘The Big M’ and ‘the Little M’ will be in Pickering for an auto- graph session next month. National Hockey League legends Frank and Peter Mahovlich will be at The Pickering Markets for a meet, greet and autograph session on Saturday, Aug. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Known as ‘the Big M’, Frank Mahovlich was tout- ed as a superstar while still a teenager. He went on to have an all- star career, patrolling the left wing for 22 professional seasons in the NHL and the World Hockey Association. Mahovlich played for the To ronto Maple Leafs from 1957 until 1968 when he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings where he played three seasons until being traded to Montreal. A member of six Stanley Cup winning teams – four times with the Leafs and twice with the Canadiens -- Frank, as well as his brother Peter, were members of Te am Canada during the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union. With Canada needing a goal in the dying seconds of the eighth and final game of the historic series, Paul Henderson called Peter off the ice and the rest is his- tory. Peter Mahovlich spent most of his career-playing centre with Montreal, and helped the team win four Stanley Cups. The Pickering Markets are at the corner of Bayly Street and Squires Beach Road. Mahovlichs set to appear at Pickering markets Aug. 5 RESOURCES FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN DURHAM REGION We are happy to announce an innovative service to support children that are medically fragile.
