plans face
further delays
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — The Seaton land
swap is on hold again as developers
and a First Nations activist seek an
injunction to stop the deal until an
environmental assessment receives
full consultation.
On July 20, lawyers representing
First Nations activist David Grey
Eagle Sanford and developer Sil-
vio De Gasperis and his partners
attempted to get an injunction to
stop the Province from transferring
public land in Seaton for private
land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in
Richmond Hill until the outcome of
a case involving the environmental
assessment process is heard in Sep-
tember.
Justice Edward Then told lawyers
he didn’t have enough evidence
to determine if native people with
roots in the Seaton lands were con-
sulted about the land exchange, as
required by both the environmen-
tal assessment act and under the
Constitution. He suggested lawyers
return to court Aug. 22 and 23 to
argue their case.
Lawyers for the government
wanted Justice Then to dismiss the
injunction application, however,
they agreed to the adjournment,
but argued against delaying the
land transfer. In a letter to Justice
Then July 21, the Ontario Realty
Corporation’s lawyer indicated his
client had agreed to the “continua-
tion of the standstill” until the Au-
gust dates.
Mr. Sanford contends that during
the EA there was no consultation
with First Nations people who were
identified as having a cultural inter-
More than 80 per cent
of Durham beaches
posted as unsafe
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — If you’re thinking
about going for a swim this week-
end, think again.
As of Friday, every beach in Dur-
ham Region, with the exception of
Whitby Beach and Frenchman’s Bay
We st, was unsafe for swimmers.
“Thirteen of 15 seems to be the
highest I can remember in past
years,” Ken Gorman said.
The Region’s director of environ-
mental health explained that under
the Ontario Health Ministry’s safe
water program, Durham must mon-
itor, survey and sample the safety of
public beaches. There are 15 pub-
lic beaches in Durham, the bulk of
them along Lake Ontario.
Based on the geometric mean
of five samples taken each week at
each beach, if an E. coli count is
more than 100 per 100 millilitres
of water, signs are posted warning
people not to swim.
Te st results received from the
Ministry of Health laboratory, of
samples taken during the week of
July 17, indicate 13 beaches are un-
safe for swimming.
However, Mr. Gorman said the
high levels of bacteria found in the
waters across the region could be
attributed to recent rainfall.
“For 48 hours after a significant
rain event there is a lot bacteria
loading,” Mr. Gorman said. “Rivers
and streams overflow and there is
a big rush of stuff coming into the
lakes.”
After rain, he expects the levels
of E. coli and bacteria to be higher.
Another possible contributor is the
hot temperatures of late.

has gone up by about four or five de-
grees in the last week,” Mr. Gorman said.
“Warmer temperatures also impact on
water quality.”
Additional factors include commer-
cial liquid waste, surface runoff, sewage
treatment, waterfowl and bathing loads.
Although Mr. Gorman said it would
not be abnormal to have higher counts
of bacteria right now, he added he has
not seen anything he would consider
unusual this summer.
“We have been posting three to six
beaches,” Mr. Gorman said. “That is
more or less typical of what we see from
year to year.”
There are groupings of beaches which
Mr. Gorman said historically are posted
more often, including this year.
Rotary Park Beach in Ajax has the
highest percentage of postings in the
past five years, followed by Kinsmen
Beach in Port Perry and then Beaverton
Beach South.
Rotary Beach has a dismal track record
of water quality. In the past five years, the
beach has been closed to swimmers an
average of 80 per cent of the time.
“When we post a beach we don’t close
it,” Mr. Gorman said. “It says there is a
high bacteria count and is unsafe. People
then will make an informed decision if
they want to go in the water.”
Exposure to high levels of bacteria and
E. coli, Mr. Gorman said, typically could
lead to eye, ear and throat infections as
well as gastrointestinal symptoms.
“E. coli is an indicator bacteria,” he
said. “It indicates there might be other
types of pathogens in the water. Bacte-
ria and viruses could be present in the
water.
“It is hard to say how each person
would react. But we like to say the higher
the levels the greater the risk of contract-
ing something from contact with the
water.”
Last April, Durham’s health and so-
cial services committee directed regional
staff to investigate factors contributing
to the consistently poor water quality at
Rotary Beach, which in 2005 was posted
96 per cent of the time.
“We have had meetings with the To-
ronto Region Conservation authority,
the Ministry of the Environment, Envi-
ronment Canada and the Town of Ajax,”
Mr. Gorman said.

Durham on its
own when it
comes to waste
management policy
Story and photos
by Erin Hatfield
DURHAM — A clear and con-
cise policy on waste management
— Ontario doesn’t have one.
The Netherlands has a nation-
al policy on waste management
which sets out a hierarchy which
is understood and implemented.
While investigating energy-
from-waste facilities in Europe,
delegates from Durham and York
regions heard from ministry of-
ficials about the importance of
all levels of government looking
in the same direction.
“We seem to have public ac-
ceptance with respect to energy
recovery from waste, thermal
treatment or incineration,” said
Cliff Curtis, Durham Region’s
commissioner of works. “We
don’t have any policy in place
at the provincial level to support
that as of yet.”
The Netherlands’ waste man-
agement policy is where that
country has a big advantage over
Ontario, according to Mr. Curtis.
One third the size of Ontario and
densely populated, Netherlands
does not have the option of land-
filling.
“Because of their restricted
land requirements, they don’t
want to waste land on landfill,”
he said.
“So there is a clear national
bias towards recovering the en-
ergy from waste and minimizing
what had to go to landfill.”
Municipalities in the Nether-
lands each have a waste master
plan that is in line with national
goals and has all levels of gov-
ernment looking in the same
direction, which, according to
To n Holtkamp
from the Ministry
of Housing, Spa-
tial Planning and
Environment in
the Netherlands
(VRON), is the key to a success-
ful system.
“We have an experience of over
20 years of dealing with waste in
the Netherlands,” Mr. Holtkamp
said. “In Canada you are in the
position now we had say 10 or 15
years ago and you need an inte-
grated approach on waste man-
agement.”
“You have to put the pressure
on the hierarchy and also recov-
er energy from waste,” Mr. Holt-
kamp said.
The integrated approach be-
gins with residents and industry
creating as little waste as pos-
sible.
This is the highest rung on the
hierarchy of waste management
-- prevention.
This is followed by product
reuse and then recycling. It is
only after all attempts are made
to fulfil these steps that incin-
eration with energy recovery
becomes an option. Finally, the
lowest rung on the hierarchy and
the least desirable option is land-
filling.
“I think it is a very useful
framework because it enables a
discussion to take place on what
our public priorities should be,”
Mr. Curtis said. “I think their lad-
der of desirability has applica-
tions here as well.”
Producer responsibility also
factors into the waste manage-
ment plan in the form of things
such as a vehicle end-of-life tax
which pays for the
disposal of the
vehicle when the
time comes.
“The producer
themselves, they
don’t pay. It is the
consumer who pays,” said VRON
representative Cees Veerma.
Similarly, in Malmo, Sweden,
the manager of the energy depart-
ment at the Sysav facility there,
Jonas Eek, explained its effective
producer responsibility system
where the makers of products
such as bottles are responsible
for recycling them after residents
deliver them to recycling depots.
In Canada, waste policy is not
a federal issue, rather, it’s a pro-
vincial one.
“We don’t have a clear policy
from the Province on the hierar-
chy ladder,” Mr. Curtis explained.
“We have a clear indication from
society that they really aren’t
that interested in having landfill
sites.”
He said a framework such as
the one that exists in the Nether-
lands would enable a discussion
to take place on what public pri-
orities should be.
“I think their ladder of desir-
ability has applications here as
well,” Mr. Curtis said. “Minimiz-
ing packaging was really high,
which is where we are supposed
to be, as well as reuse
and recycling.”
The lack of direction
could prove to be an
issue, according to Mr.
Curtis, but not one that
is insurmountable.
“Things would be a lot easier
if we did have a clear provincial
policy statement on it,” he said.
“We may be able to find some
congruence between the energy
recovery from waste and our cur-
rent thrust toward getting alter-
nate sources of energy from the
Ministry of Energy,” Mr. Curtis
said. “So there seems to be some
congruency between the Ministry
of the Environment and the Min-
istry of Energy right now, which
we may be able to capitalize on
but we don’t have a clear policy
statement from the Province on
energy from waste.”
Despite having no policy, Mr.
Curtis said Durham is prepared
to go it on its own.
“We are proceeding in the ab-
sence of clear policy direction,”
he said. “We are trying to demon-
strate that this is the right
thing to do.”
He suspects the Prov-
ince isn’t quite ready to
get into banning landfills
because there remain a
number of large landfills
w ith a lot of capacity.
“A landfill, given our current
technology, is still much cheaper.
It is the cheapest disposal option
we have available, even though
it is lowest on the hierarchy of
desirability,” Mr. Curtis said.
“So I think landfill will be fill-
ing a fairly large role in the pro-
vincial waste disposal strategy for
the immediate future. We would
like to demonstrate that there is
a more environmentally friendly
alternative.”

Government policy
A well-understood provincial
policy on waste management is
necessary and should include:
• Develop a hierarchy based
on sound environmental lifecycle
analysis;
• National producer responsi-
bility programs to manage pack-
aging materials, electronic equip-
ment and vehicles;
• Ban on landfilling recyclable
materials; and
• A landfill tax to make the cost
of incineration equal to or slightly
more costly than incineration.

est in the Seaton lands.
His lawyer presented affidavits
from three chiefs who all said they
were not consulted and that they
believe the only way to provide
meaningful consultation is through
a full environmental assessment.
Nicholas Tibollo, who is Mr.
Sandford’s lawyer, said in an inter-
view Friday that the government’s
EA consultation process was flawed,
which is the basis for the September
judicial review application.
“It should be done over,” he said.
“When it is redone, it must be a full
individual environmental assess-
ment.”
Mr. De Gasperis, who owns land
west of Seaton in the protected Duf-
fins Rouge Agricultural Preserve,
has filed several legal challenges
regarding the planning of Seaton,
the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt,
and now the land swap EA.
He contends the scientific data
used for planning was flawed.
“No, we are not going to give up
the fight because we’re right,” he
said Friday.
The Ministry of Environment re-
ceived 16 requests to bump up from
a class to a full EA.
Those requests were denied in
June, giving the green light for the
land swap.

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Get with the green
bin program
You’d think the introduction of green bins in south Dur-
ham urban communities was a blow against freedom
and the rights of the taxpayer based on some of the mail
we’ve received over the past two weeks.
Plenty of complaints have been flying around from residents
in Oshawa and Whitby. They’ve ranged from those who are
upset the program was launched on the heels of the Canada
Day long weekend, to others who complain about the smell of
compost, to still others who are upset that the day of the metal
or plastic garbage can is gone. Some have even ranted about
receiving a DVD from the municipality explaining how to
recycle/compost -- on the basis that DVDs are not biodegrad-
able.
Let’s get a grip here.
While it may be fair to gripe about the confusion over pickup
(or non-pickup) on Monday, July 3 -- since it was a holiday
Monday to make up for Canada Day falling on a Saturday this
year -- the other whining sounds like nothing but people who
are upset at having to do something they may not have done
before.
To those people, we’d suggest taking a little time to think
about the process. All you need to do is open the kitchen bin,
put your compostable material in, close it, wait until it fills up
and then, put it in the big green bin. Compost is collected every
week, so check your schedule and follow the routine. That’s
it. Of course, you should continue to use your blue box -- and
you should have much less garbage for regular collection every
other week.
For several years, citizens in a part of Pickering, north Dur-
ham and Clarington have been composting with great success.
They are used to doing it and realize how important it is for the
health of our own little piece of the planet.
That’s the bottom line here. We have filled up our landfill
sites and now have to truck our garbage to Michigan, a solution
that will inevitably come to an end sooner rather than later.
We owe it to ourselves to reduce, reuse and recycle as much
as possible so that we have far less landfill material to worry
about as the entire Region embraces composting. Ultimately,
we’re protecting our own environment, and helping our-
selves.
As a colleague’s four-year-old son remarked: “If you use your
green bin, I’ll have more room to play.”
Out of the mouths of babes...
Mom says kids have no trouble composting
To the editor:
I could not believe all the difficulty people in our region
are experiencing with understanding our new garbage/recy-
cling/compost pickup procedures.
All green bins were delivered with a schedule. All that is re-
quired here are two things... the ability to read and the ability
to follow directions. Clearly there is a dire shortage of people
out there who possess these two necessary abilities.
My children, ages 11, 10, 8, 6 and 4 are not having any
trouble adapting to or following directions with the new pro-
cedures.
Perhaps more people should have spend a little time read-
ing, in its entirety, the information provided to us.
Neither have I had any difficulties with the size or height of
the green bin, and I am a taller than average woman.
People of Durham region, quit whining and get on with it.
Learn to recognize when something good is happening.

on how their tax dollars are being spent.
The board also prevented the public from
hearing its budget discussions by having
them in a closed-door finance meeting.
During this year’s June 26 board meet-
ing, trustees passed a more than $229-
million budget without discussion. When
you take a look at the endless hours mu-
nicipalities spend quibbling over thou-
sands and sometimes only hundreds of
budget dollars, it’s impossible to fathom
how the school board managed to ap-
prove its large budget in such a manner.
From textbooks to school maintenance,
the budget touches everything parents
and students should care about, and in-
stead of holding their in-depth discus-
sions in a public session, elected trust-
ees took their whole finance committee
meeting in-camera.
“I think it’s not unfair if the public was
critical of that,” said Oshawa Trustee Fred
Jones. A former chairman of the board,
Trustee Jones has openly criticized the
lack of discussion at board meetings that
has occurred under the leadership of
Whitby Trustee and Chairwoman Mary
Ann Martin.
Trustee Jones said the board should
have only went in-camera for items legis-
lated, such as land purchasing or matters
that could prejudice bargaining.
The board should have a public meet-
ing to collect thoughts and submissions
on the budget and invite people to come
out and participate. Even if no one de-
cides to attend, they should be given the
option. According to Patricia Manson,
the board’s director of education, infor-
mation is collected throughout the year
during regional meetings with represen-
tatives from school community councils,
but Trustee Jones said he thinks more can
be done to inspire public participation.
Hopefully, a greater effort will be made
in the future, especially since major cut-
backs could be required in next year’s
budget as the board gobbles up the last
of its usable reserves. This year, it spent
more than $11 million to balance the
budget, leaving only about $1.2 million
currently available for next year.
Maybe the public could have helped
prevent the drying up of reserves if it had
received more significant opportunities
to give input and make suggestions.
The Durham Catholic District School
Board is going to have to make some
changes next year. The board must realize
what a valuable contribution its constitu-
ents could offer and invite them to help
make those upcoming, tough decisions.

Not enough help
to see ideas work
I have recently discovered
some unnerving infor-
mation about the edu-
cation system, particularly
concerning the participa-
tion, or lack thereof, of stu-
dents and teachers in ex-
tracurricular events. These
new discoveries persuaded
me to think about my years
in public and secondary
school.
From when I first started
school, there was always
some form of conflict be-
tween teachers and unions
and students and teachers.
There always was a strange
feeling of tension in the
school. Sadly, only the ma-
ture and trained eye could
see these problems, which
sometimes made taking
school seriously very diffi-
cult.
What I learned in high
school was that there are
three types of students: The
students who do everything,
the students who do noth-
ing, and what many called,
‘The Greys.’ The Greys were
people who were just kind
of there. They were filler
who occasionally showed
up to football games and
school dances, but general-
ly mixed in with the crowd.
What I saw in my last year
of high school was that the
students who normally did
everything, slowly became
the students who didn’t do
anything at all.
The reason? There were
so many barriers and de-
terrents when a student
wanted to plan an event, for
example, that they eventu-
ally just gave up. It got to
the point where students
merely stopped trying to
make their school a bet-
ter place to learn. Sooner
than later, everybody be-
came ‘grey’. So now, we
have schools packed full
of unmotivated teenagers,
struggling to learn in an en-
vironment that is saturated
with conflicts and tension.
And people wonder why the
dropout rate is slowly on the
increase again.
With new scares of school
violence, different food al-
lergies and a total lack of
participation from the stu-
dents and many members
of the faculty, students have
quickly developed the men-
tality of ‘why bother?’
Indeed, teachers are nor-
mally the ones responsible
for events and any conse-
quences, but a simple eating
contest at lunch or a school
dance (normally scattered
with police officers) will not
cause the school to burst
into chaos. But, the lack of
events in school is not just
the teachers’ fault.
Students do not under-
stand that their participa-
tion in school events is
sometimes more important
than having the go-ahead
from teachers. Sadly, no-
body recognizes that a
school is a family, and it is
everybody’s responsibility
to help each other out in
times of need. With a lack of
participation comes a lack
of interest in the people who
try to plan the events. This
is why dances and lunch-
time events are so scarce.
Why work so hard to have
nobody attend?
I do not regret anything
about my high school ex-
perience. I was the type
who did everything, and
then became somewhat of
a ‘grey’ when I realized you
can try your hardest, but
some things you just can’t
change at 18 years old.
The only advice I can give
students in high school now
is that getting involved in
extracurricular activities is
great, but remember your
priorities. That is, focus on
your schoolwork and mak-
ing as many friends as pos-
sible. Be safe, be wise and
help support your fellow
students and their commit-
tees. After all, the hard work
those students do will only
help to enrich your high
school experience.
Understand that there
will be conflicts everywhere
you turn, especially in edu-
cation, but it’s the way you
handle them that’s really
important.

Genosha Hotel gets historical design
a

n
Councillor says move will leave
building ‘sterile’
By Lesley Bovie
OSHAWA — The City has designat-ed the Genosha Hotel as historically significant despite warnings from
some councillors who feel it will only seal the fate of the tired downtown building. “It’s an eyesore in the City of Osha-wa and that building will sit there for the next 20 years and be sterile,” said Councillor Mike Nicholson before council approved the designation Monday night by a vote of 8-3. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the City of Oshawa, that if we were to take
the building down now, wouldn’t do a dance,” he added. Oshawa’s first luxury hotel, the Genosha was built in 1929 but has fallen on hard
times in recent decades. The glam-our of its upper floors has given way to a rooming house. A strip club that operated on the main floor was closed in 2003. But Heritage Oshawa has asked the City to designate the hotel based on its cultural signifi-
cance as part of the emerging iden-tity of Oshawa as a corporate centre. The designation only applies to the exterior facade of the Chicago-style building and its Art Deco features. Any proposal to change those fea-tures would have to come before Oshawa council first, said develop-ment services commissioner Ted Goodchild. But the Ontario Heritage Act does have a process that allows
owners to negotiate in such cases, he said. Coun. Louise Parkes said there will be programs available to help developers fund any changes they would want to make to the building. “The reason we did this is because the owner wanted to make (the Genosha) a tuna can by putting alu-minum siding on it,” she said. “That’s not acceptable for an international Communities in Bloom winner.” Store

Sales are off, but Oshawa car plant tops in productivity
By Jillian Follert
OSHAWA — It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Last week, General Motors of Canada accepted its second major award in less than a month, as officials mulled over declining sales figures for May. According to the 2005 Harbour Report released Thursday, Osha-wa’s Plant 1 is the most productive vehicle assembly plant in North America, clocking 15.85 hours per vehicle. This recognition came on the heels of last month’s J.D. Power and Associates survey, in which Plant 2 captured the gold award for quality, with only 85 problems reported per 100 vehicles. “Oshawa car plant employees can be proud of their No. 1 rank-ing in productivity on top of their world-renowned quality awards,” said Canadian Auto Workers Presi-dent Buzz Hargrove. “Our Cana-dian members are well-positioned
to play in the very challenging automotive global arena of quality and productivity.” Despite this silver lining, the company continues to report declining sales, while the Cana-dian market saw the worst new vehicle sales performance for the month of May, since 1999.
“The Canadian market is dead flat, it’s a very negative outlook,” said Dennis DesRosiers, one of the country’s leading auto industry analysts. “It has a lot to do with the U.S. market, which has been very poor for a while now. If the Ameri-cans aren’t buying cars, we aren’t producing them.” This is especially worrying for GM Canada, which exports about 90 per cent of its Canadian-made vehicles, to the U.S. In May, GM Canada saw a 13 per cent drop in total car sales compared with the same period last year, and a 3.3 per cent drop in combined vehicle sales. In year-to-date figures, the com-pany reports only a 1.9 per cent drop in total car sales, however the May statistics are considered more significant as that is traditionally the best-selling month of the year for dealers.
See TRUCK page A2
15.85 hours/vehicle
According to an annual survey by Harbour Consulting, this year’s highest ranking plants for assembly productivity are:1. General Motors Corp. (Oshawa, Ontario; Plant No. 1): 15.85 hours2. Nissan Motor Co. (Smyrna, Tennesse Altima line): 16.10 hours3. Ford Motor Co. (Atlanta): 16.58 hours4. General Motors (Oshawa, Ontario; Plant No. 2): 17.47 hours5.

Tr affic study reveals
problem areas
By David Blumenfeld
WHITBY — The public works
department wants to install
a series of rumble strips in
two locations along Garrard
Road and Fallingbrook Street,
following a preliminary analysis
of traffic in seven locations
around Whitby.
Traverse rumble strips
— textured pavement used to
create an uneven travelling
surface for cars and vehicles
— are employed to emphasize
critical intersections, pedestrian
crossings and control driver
speed. They are also considered
a more cost-effective alternative
to stop signs or “bump-outs,”
which narrow roads at critical
intersections and can cost up to
$50,000, public works reported.
Following a week-long study
of traffic in September and
October 2004, the department
wants council to authorize
rumble strips at Garrard
Road and Weldon Street, and
Fallingbrook Street at Glen
Dhu Public School, beginning
in May at a cost of $20,000.

Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — People across
Durham Region showed their
native pride this weekend, by
supporting the Mississauga’s
of Scugog Island First Nation
10th Annual Traditional Pow
Wow.
Della Charles, a member
of the First Nations Commit-
tee which helped organize
the event, said the success-
ful occasion drew crowds of
about 4,000 people over the
two days of festivities.
“We can measure our suc-
cess by how many people
came out,” Ms. Charles said.
The powwow, which took
place both Saturday and
Sunday, started each morn-
ing with a sunrise ceremony.
During the ceremony,
people were invited to meet
the elders around the sacred
fire and pray, while smoking
the pipe.
“People can say what they
want from their heart,” said
Wilma Jacobs-Taylor, one of
the elders at the powwow.
“We share stories till the sun
comes up.”
Ms. Jacobs-Taylor, whose
native and spiritual name
is Miigwewin-Kwe, which
means “the woman who
gives,” loves the
way the powerful
ceremony kicks off
the weekend.
“The spiritual-
ity of the sacred fire
starts this great cel-
ebration for our people.”
According to Ms. Jacobs-
Ta ylor, the grand entry,
which took place around 1
p.m., is another powerful
part of the event. During the
grand entry, elders and invit-
ed guests parade
into the powwow
circle carrying the
sacred Eagle staff
and dancing to
pounding drums
and high pitch
chants. The dignitaries are
followed by all categories of
dancers, including both tra-
ditional and grass dancers.
Throughout the rest of the
powwow, people are able
to wander throughout the
grounds taking in as much
of the Native culture as they
can. Ms. Jacobs-Taylor loves
teaching others about her
way of life and believes cul-
tural sharing was the reason
for the powwow in the first
place.
“The powwow helps keep
our traditions alive by letting
us mingle with old and new
friends and allowing them to
understand what we are all
about.”
Ms. Jacobs-Taylor and the
other two elders present dur-
ing the powwow, are respon-
sible for helping enlighten
visitors, answering any ques-
tions they may have.

Q. Why do we use the ex-
pression ‘once in a blue
moon’?
A. According to failedsuc-
cess.com, there are rare examples of the moon
actually appearing blue, after volcanic eruptions or
unusual weather conditions. It suggests the most
likely origin is the Maine Farmers’ Almanac. When
there were two full moons in one month, the first
was printed in red, the second in blue.

Durham native
continues to battle
concussion problems
that sidelined
him last season
in Philadelphia
By Shawn Cayley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The grim reality of
suffering a serious concussion may
be on the verge of setting in for
Whitby’s Keith Primeau.
While not willing to concede any-
thing just yet, the thought of re-
tirement has begun to enter into
the mind of the Philadelphia Flyers
forward.
“I think, those thoughts crept
into my mind over the past two or
three months,” Primeau admitted
last week while in Oshawa. “But
again, I am not at the point where I
am willing to concede and pack it in
and call it a career. I still think I have
more to offer.”
Ju st how much that will be should
Primeau re-
turn to the
ice is ques-
tionable
considering
the former
Detroit Red
Wing, Hart-
ford Whaler
and Carolina
Hurricane
didn’t play
hockey dur-
ing the lockout and only managed
nine games before suffering a sea-
son-ending concussion in October
courtesy of a hard hit from Montreal
Canadiens forward Alexander Per-
ezhogin.
Even Primeau himself is left won-
dering.
“It’s going to be 30 months since
I have played,” he said, assuming he
is ready for training camp in Sep-
tember. “Not only does the concus-
sion start to weigh on you, but the
amount of time you’ve been away
from the game starts to weigh on
your mind.
“It’s been stressful for sure,” he
added, of dealing with the unpre-
dictably of a concussion. “But you
know, I also accept it for what it is
and that is an injury that I can’t ex-
pedite, I can only allow it to heal it’s
own way and that is what I am trying
to do.”
What’s made things easier is the
continued support Primeau has
received not only from his family,
but from the Flyers organization as
well.
“I have had tremendous support,
first and foremost the organization
has been tremendous. I’ve been in
constant contact with coach Ken
Hitchcock and GM Bobby Clarke,
and they completely understand
that injuries are a part of the busi-
ness and they’ve allowed me the
space and freedom to heal and get
better at my own pace,” Primeau
said. “My wife has (also) been tre-
mendous and a real support for me
while my children have really un-
derstood and accepted that at this
time I am injured and can’t play.”
With two-years remaining on his
contract, Primeau harbours hopes
of fulfilling that deal, but also under-
stands that should he suffer another
setback, the Flyers may opt to move
on.
“That’s what I am working to-
wards, but I also know that the win-
dow is quickly closing and the team
can’t wait forever, and I wouldn’t ex-
pect them to wait forever,” explained
Primeau, who owns career totals of
266-353-619 in 909 games. “Closer
to training camp, before or after,
one of the two, I’ll probably need to
make some sort of decision.”
Flyers’ Primeau faces uncertain future

Rock roll into
playoffs on
home floor
Sunday
Ajax-Pickering
to meet Brooklin
or Ennismore
in semifinal series
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering
Rock is ready to roll into the Ontario
Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ play-
offs.
After receiving a first-round play-
off bye and two week’s off, the Rock
hits the floor for the semifinal series
at the Pickering Recreation Complex
today, Sunday, July 23, at 7 p.m.
Their opponent won’t be known
until the conclusion of Saturday
night’s best-of-three finale between
the Ennismore SEL Shamrocks and
the Owen Sound Woodsmen in
Owen Sound, with the result un-
available at press time.
A Shamrocks win will result in
an Ennismore-Rock matchup in the
semifinals. An Owen Sound victory,
however, will give the Rock a semi-
final series date against the rival
Brooklin Merchants. The Merchants
gained entrance to the semifinal
after defeating the Mohawk Stars
in two straight games in the best-of-
three quarter-final series.
Rock head coach and general
manager Paul St. John says he’s un-
fazed by whichever team emerges
as the Rock’s playoff opponent.
“I think we match up well against
both clubs,” he says. “Brooklin played
us tough, but we were unbeaten in
both games, including a tie in a pen-
alty-filled game. Brooklin’s champ-
ing at the bit to play us because they
think they can beat us. Ennismore’s
record doesn’t show how good they
are. I believe they lost a lot of games
by one or two goals this season.
“But, we’re confident. We’re
ready, and we feel we’re the team to
beat. We feel we’re going to be ready
and we’re going to be tough.”
St. John says the Rock had four
practices over the two-week hia-
tus from the playoffs, with this
week’s sessions being particularly
uptempo. Most of all, the past two
weeks allowed the team to heal all
the bumps and bruises acquired
throughout the season. The team’s
healthy, with the notable exception
of Frank Littlejohn, who suffered a
broken hand and won’t be available
for the series.

Tr oy May
remembered as
being passionate
about baseball
By Brad Kelly
Staff Editor
DURHAM — A family man
whose extended family includ-
ed those associated with base-
ball, lacrosse and hockey, has
passed away.
Troy May died Wednesday
afternoon in Cambridge Me-
morial Hospital of an apparent
heart attack following a serious
car accident on Sunday after-
noon. His wife, Lori, was treat-
ed and released from hospital,
while his two sons, Jamie and
Connor, still remain in hospital
with serious injuries. Jamie is at
the Hospital for Sick Children
in Toronto and Connor in Mc-
Master Hospital in Hamilton.
The 39-year-old was the
president of the Oshawa Legion
Minor Baseball Association
and also of the Eastern Ontario
Baseball Association. He was a
former coach of the Oshawa Ju-
nior Legionaires before starting
up the Oshawa Dodgers of the
InterCounty Baseball League.
By day, May was the sales
manager at Durham Sports and
Wholesale in Pickering.
“He was a true family man,”
said Jim Lutton, a day after hear-
ing the news. Lutton coached
junior baseball with May, and
also noted the Oshawa resident
coached lacrosse and hockey
as well.
“His family was also baseball.
A lot of the people who have
been calling -- we talk about
his family being a lot bigger
than the people who lived with
him. When he wasn’t coaching,
he was always down at the sta-
dium watching.”
The Dodgers were
scheduled to play an
Intercounty game in
To ronto on Wednes-
day against the Leafs,
but that game was
postponed.
“The entire In-
tercounty Baseball
League family is sad-
dened by the news,”
said IBL Commis-
sioner Jim Rooney
in a release. “Troy was very
passionate about baseball and
his vision was an important in-
gredient in the success of the
Oshawa Dodgers and the IBL.
We pass along our deepest con-
dolences to Troy’s family and
join in their grief for the loss of
a good friend.”
May founded the Dodgers in
2002, serving as the field man-
ager for the team during its
first four years before stepping
down to become the third base
coach this season.
His passion for the game
stretches over a 20-year period.
Included in that stretch was
coaching the Oshawa Junior
Legionnaires for nine seasons.
On the Oshawa Dodgers web-
site, May listed his most mem-
orable baseball moment as
beating Brampton at the 1999
Junior Eliminations and win-
ning the first-ever elimination
tournament in the 55-year his-
tory of Oshawa Legion Minor
Baseball, advancing to the Ca-
nadian Championships.
One of the players on that
team was Darryl Reid, who
played junior for May for three
seasons before join-
ing the Dodgers in
that inaugural 2002
season, staying with
the team for four sea-
sons.
“I just can’t
imagine all of the
stuff he did,” said
Reid of May’s com-
mitment to baseball.
“He did everything
from raking the fields
to running the pro-
gram. Most Intercounty teams
have five or six guys who run
everything, Troy did a lot of it
himself here.”
Reid remembers talking
baseball every day with May
when he played for him.
“He taught everybody to
play the game hard, keep it as
simple as possible and have
fun with it. He thought baseball
should be just like life, enjoy
it.”
Saturday’s home game at
Kinsmen Stadium between the
Dodgers and Kitchener will go
ahead as planned. Proceeds
from the 2 p.m. game will be
donated to the May family.
Visitation is at the Oshawa
Funeral Service ‘Thornton
Chapel’ 847 King St. West in
Oshawa today, Sunday, July 23,
from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.
The funeral service will be
held in the Chapel on Monday,
July 24 at 1 p.m.

The greatest challenge for all compa-
nies today is to constantly change to meet
the changing needs of their customers.
RENOCanada™ (a new concept in
home improvement) has evolved from one
of Toronto’s best known plumbing busi-
nesses -- The Plumbing Mart.
They have updated and changed their
identity to better represent their expertise
and focus on quality home improvements.
Specializing in Bathroom and Kitchen
Makeovers, RENOCanada™ is a single
source for homeowners who want to improve
the quality of their life at home....without
moving. Their unique range of services and
experience makes renovation easy, practical
and affordable. The new Inspiration Centres,
currently being developed, will provide an
exciting and educational environment that
helps homeowners to visualize and plan
their dreams.
What has not changed is the com-
pany’s commitment to great service and
industry setting standards, like their fi ve
year warranty backed by the most experi-
enced renovation consultants and craftsmen
in the business. For thousands of local area
homeowners, it has always been the people
and personal attention that set this company
apart from other renovators.
RENOCanada’s staff understand reno-
vation from the customer’s perspective. They
know that home improvement is not about
the house, it’s about self improvement (Life-
style), it’s personal.
The company describes their primary
customers as “discerning” homeowners.
These are people that don’t necessarily have
big budgets but who feel that Bathrooms
and Kitchens need to be exciting regardless
of budget. They have higher expectations;
demanding seamless service from inspira-
tion to installation and an overall experience
that is hassle-free, educational and reward-
ing. Discerning customers don’t want to be
sold anything but want someone to act as an
“editor” helping them to make choices that
are right for them. They need to feel “in con-
trol” and want a service provider that will
empower them to get satisfaction.
The showroom is only 15 minutes
from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It’s a
short drive west on Hwy 401, south on Mc-
Cowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major
intersections to Midland and then just one
block north on the west side.

easy, practical and affordable it is to turn the

A BABY GIRL!
Raegan Culbert & John-Eric Mc Neil
Welcome baby,
DANICA RAE Mc NEIL
born June 15, 2006
8 pounds, 6 ounces
Frances Esther Day
June 1st, 1926 - July 24, 2005
To a good life came a peaceful end.
She died as she lived, everyone’s friend,
Upright and just in all her ways
Loving and kind to the end of her days.
We saw her suffer, heard her sigh,
We could do nothing but sit close by,
We have lost, but heaven has gained,
One of the best the world contained.
Lovingly Remembered by
David & Sue,
Anita & Bob, Pat,
and families & Friends.
