Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean introduced a motion at the July 24 council meeting to ask the minister of transportation to make lands the Province owns at the northwest corner of Liverpool Road and Hwy. 401 available for develop- ment and to not use them as a park- ing lot for the Pickering GO Station. “This particular parcel of land is centrally located in our downtown core,” he said. “I question whether or not this is the appropriate use for our downtown core -- a parking lot. I don’t know how many jobs it will bring or if people can live there.” Councillors questioned whether the suspected use of an overflow parking lot for the GO Station goes along with the Province’s own re- quirements for higher-density uses in Pickering’s downtown because of its designation as an urban growth centre under the provincial Places to Grow plan. “Places to Grow talks about in- tensifying the downtown core and then MTO is talking about build- ing a garage,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. There would be some limitations as the land is slated to be part of the City’s storm water manage- ment plan, but Coun. McLean still thought the remainder of the 4.3- hectare property could be used for something more prestigious. “Even with that we could still do a nice office building or condomini- um to intensify our downtown core,” Pickering takes pass on parking idea But chairwoman says plenty being done By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — While school coun- cil chairwomen are offering sugges- tions for how the Catholic board can get more public involvement in ed- ucation issues, board chairwoman Mary Ann Martin said officials there do a great job of communicating.

The use of municipal garbage cans in parks and on streets for residential waste is having an effect on other garbage as well. “It fills up garbage cans so quickly (there isn’t room for loose material) and the loose material contributes to the litter problem,” Ms. Whitaker said. To help alleviate the dumping problem in areas where residents have abused garbage cans, Ms. Whitaker said the City is actually removing the cans. She admits that puts Pickering in a catch-22 sit- uation. Parks and road staff have always noticed ille- gal dumping, but it has in- creased over the past few weeks since the changes to garbage pickup with the introduction of the green bin program. Residual waste is now picked up every two weeks instead of weekly and households are limited to four bags. “We really need to en- courage residents to be- come responsible for their own waste,” Ms. Whitaker said. “G eneral City resources shouldn’t have to be used to deal with a few people’s waste. The Region gave residents the tools they need. The tools are there for residents to divert their waste.” She is hopeful the spike in dumping will decrease. “Illegal dumping has al- ways been an issue, how- ever, once people get used to the new waste system it will subside somewhat,” Ms. Whitaker said. City staff does attempt to prosecute those people who have illegally dumped their garbage. Ms. Whita- ker said staff goes through bags to try to find a name or address in the waste and if they do, they hand it over to the bylaw depart- ment. She added while it may be easy to locate an individual identified by the contents, it is difficult to prove he or she was the one who illegally dumped it. The maximum fine for those convicted is $5,000. Ms. Whitaker said the City is asking people to pay attention to what is happening in their neigh- bourhood and to report any illegal dumping they witness.

New bin program brings more dumping in city Drug probe continues ‘up the food chain’ By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Two busts have been made in the ec- stasy-related death of an Ajax teenager and investigators are vowing to track the drugs to their source. “We’re working our way up the food chain,” Durham Re- gional Police Detective Tom Andrews said Friday morn- ing, just hours after two teen- aged girls were arrested. Cops launched an intensive investigation following the July 19 death of a 15-year-old Ajax girl. She collapsed July 15 and went into a coma from which she never emerged; investigators quickly learned the girl had consumed ecsta- sy, a street drug popular with young people, shortly before becoming ill. Early Friday officers from 19 Division, working in con- junction with youth liaison officers, made arrests at homes in the Hwy. 401 - Har- wood Avenue area. “We took two teenaged females into custody,” Det. Andrews said. “They’re each facing one count of trafficking ecstasy.” The girls, aged 15 and 16, can’t be identified by law. Det. Andrews provided few details about what level of in- volvement they may have had in trafficking ecstasy locally. The girls were being held for a bail hearing Monday. “The investigation thus far reveals more than one pill was sold,” he said. As the probe continues, police are trying to track the ecstasy to its source and also obtain a sample of the batch in question for chemical analysis. It’s believed the pills are yellow and have musical notes stamped on them. Durham police have prom- ised amnesty to anyone who turns in a sample of the drugs.

Just click here a finance committee meeting to deal with the document that was held ‘in-camera,’ or closed to the public. There were no pub- lic input meetings specifically dealing with the budget. Shortly after the budget passed, Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones suggested more needs to be done by Trust- ee Martin to encourage public participation. This newspaper made a num- ber of calls to school community council representatives recently to ask what more the board could do to encourage pub- lic feedback. Three re- turned calls, with each of the chairwomen of- fering suggestions. “It’s true, we don’t get that involved,” said Joanne Free, chair- woman at Oshawa’s Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Sec- ondary School. “We go to meetings once a month; they do discuss the bud- get, but they don’t give us a lot of input... I only went to three (regional council meetings) but I don’t remember anything to do with the budgets.” However, Trustee Martin noted the budget process has never resulted in any complaints and that the board does a “great” job of communicating. Through- out the year, people can contact their school principal, trustee or superintendent to suggest items to be considered. “People seem pleased and we’re always trying to improve,” she said. “We’ve never had a mo- tion brought forth by any trustee to change the process in place. From the input I received from our director and superintendent, the process has actually im- proved.” Trustee Martin said many school board issues are brought up at regional council and fed back to schools. She said the regional council also informs members about school board meeting dates and agendas are posted on the board’s website. As a volunteer, Susan Dowd, chairwoman of Ajax’s St. Patrick Catholic School’s council, said it’s hard to get to all of the re- gional council meetings. She said participation could improve if the region- al council was more proactive in getting information to school councils on how items could impact them. “I’m not even sure if there was an opportunity out there to give input,” said Ms. Dowd, speaking spe- cifically about the board’s bud- get. Ms. Free said if the board sent out schedules and agendas and invited parent councils to public meetings, it might get more par- ticipation. “They can take initiative and find things out as well,” noted Trustee Martin. Ms. Free said the board used to mail out proposed policy chang- es, but since it started posting them on the Internet, her council doesn’t discuss them as often. She added her principal is good at sharing board information. Mr. Pulla said school coun- cils were consulted before the policy-mailing change and can still request that policies be e- mailed. Ms. Dowd said her school council comments on policies through e-mails and letters, but doesn’t know what happens from there. Margaret Cecconet, chair- woman of the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School council in Ajax, said she doesn’t think the lack of public participa- tion is isolated to school board meetings. “I know the board right now wants more input from the public,” she added. She said people’s lifestyles make it hard to attend meetings, even at the school council level. “A t our school council, we have a very open way of commu- nication,” she said, adding “it’s only when you think you’re not being heard” that people go to the board. Ms. Cecconet said if the board wanted to increase participation, trustees could attend school council meetings occasionally and bring information on issues.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 30, 2006 durhamregion.com Biweekly garage collection needs another look To the editor: Re: ‘Get with the green bin program,’ editorial, and ‘Mom says kids have no trouble composting,’ letter to the editor, July 23. The editorial and letter are correct; this is a welcome initiative and compliance is simple and easy. There is, however, a flaw regarding the biweekly collection of regular garbage. Materials specified for this include animal waste, diapers, sanitary prod- ucts, etc. These materials when stored for two weeks, especially in the heat, can brew into quite a mess and breed maggots, at- tract vermin and become a health hazard. On Ju ly 20, while the garbage truck was stopped for pickup from my driveway and the one adjacent, liquid was leaking from it onto the road. I assume this to be the liquified and putrefied result of two weeks storage. That evening and the next morning, and on to Saturday morning when the road was dampened by light rain, the area was filled with the stench of this soup. It was reminiscent of when the mismanaged Brock West landfill was in operation in the mid 1980s. There is no question of the need and the advantages of this system of waste separation, but the biweekly collection of gar- bage waste requires rethinking. Those whose garbage does not contain the products mentioned above can opt for biweekly pickup and thereby save a little on the cost of garbage bags while contributing to the overall objective. Saul Glass, Pickering Garbage dumping comes at huge cost This stinks. Put aside the complaints, problems and any other manner of issue that has arisen since Durham Region moved to its much trumpeted new approach to dealing with our household waste. What may be most troubling is that since July 1 struck and green bins became a way of life here in Ajax and Pickering, a troubling new trend has developed. With the change from weekly garbage collection to biweek- ly pickup, more and more Ajax and Pickering residents are taking the lazy man’s route and simply dumping their garbage wherever they good and well feel like. That includes many who are taking the time to find commercial bins operated by businesses, those who simply are throwing bags on street corners, and a fine group in Pickering that is filling up the bins the City has placed in boulevards and parks. Regretably, the City is now removing the bins to combat the problem. Come on, people, getting the garbage to the curb is not rocket science. By taking a few extra minutes throughout the week and using the green and blue bins where appropriate, residents can be assured they will meet the limit of no more than four bags of garbage for collection every two weeks (yes, that even applies to homes where one resident is in diapers). In other words, the work involved with source separation would be comparable to the amount of effort that goes into, say, packing up your garbage and then driving to find a com- mercial bin or deserted roadway, and then tossing it aside. Not only is dumping foolish, but it’s costly too. With each complaint comes the cost of having bylaw of- ficers investigate, the cost of cleanup, the time involved in investigating the dumping and possible laying of charges, and the costs involved in prosecution, should a case proceed that far. And that’s without getting into the long-term negative ef- fects a dirty community can have on enticing people to live, work or visit here. If you see someone dumping their garbage, report it the municipality and help officials stem the tide. Dumping and running is simply costing us all too much. A wasteland. I guess that is what some people want -- a wasteland of cookie- cutter houses stretched as far as the eye can see and surrounded by fields of garbage. What else can be expected if the battle against source separation and recycling efforts continues, as it appears it might? Some don’t even want to try. They pay taxes, so why should worry about waste. Well, what difference will those dollars make if we don’t have a world? This isn’t just about garbage, it is about the fact that we were given a world and we chewed it up and spit it out. It doesn’t matter where you live, what colour your skin is, or what faith you follow -- we are devastating our world through our actions and garbage is just one aspect. “It is a moral issue,” Al Gore says in his recent film, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ a gripping explanation of climate change, its cause and eventual effect. I tend to agree. The bottom line, climate change will devastate all of us. Ye s, the movie could all be some sort of ploy to get Mr. Gore elected, but facts are facts, walk outside and see for yourself that the world is heating up due primarily to an atmospheric increase in carbon dioxide. Think about the chang- es we have seen just recently in extreme weather, floods and droughts. Climate change will inevitably lead to ice caps melting, drought, and rising sea levels. Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica. And we are not talking hundreds of years for this to happen. Research shows it could take as little as 20 years for the sea ice to disap- pear. Action needs to be taken, not only in the way we waste but also in every facet of our existence. Ta ke time to educate yourself about global warming. Petition elected officials to protect the climate. Replace frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Keep car tires adequately inflated and check the air filter. Fill your dishwasher before you run it. Adjusting your thermostat by two de- grees will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide annually. Take short showers and install a low- flow shower head. Buy local produce and products that are minimally pack- aged. Take cloth bags to the grocery store. Plant a tree. When you start to think about it and make an effort to change is when change will occur -- garbage is just one small part of the greater picture. Erin Hatfield’s column ap- pears every third Sunday.

The colours, the food, the fl owers, the music and the budget are just few of the things that go into planning the perfect wedding, and you can even make it fun if you know which are the most important steps to planning a wedding. When starting to plan, it is recommended to start the planning at least eight months before the wedding date. One of the most important steps to planning your summer wedding is establishing the budget, with the rest of the things planned according to the budget. After you and your beloved have decided how much money you are willing to spend, you can start making the guests list. It is important to start with family and close friends, and then, depending on the budget, you can invite other people. Don’t forget to rent a ballroom or a restaurant well in advance for the wedding reception, as the restaurant often needs to be booked up to one year in advance, especially in the busy summer season. Once you have rented a restaurant, discuss the menu. This is an important aspect of any wedding, so choose carefully what food you will serve. Next, you should consider the fl owers and the fl oral arrangements. The fl ower choice depends on your preferences. The season and the theme of the wedding could factor into the fi nal choice. Florists will be dealing with several weddings at once no matter what date you choose, so make sure you give them plenty of time to handle your order. The good news is that fl owers to celebrate your summer wedding include just about everything. Some colours to consider for fl oral arrangements are cool blues and bright yellows that mimic the sun and sky. Bold favourites like strong purples, deep reds, and brilliant oranges are really at home during the summer. Summer wedding colours are a fresh representation of everything the season has to offer. When considering your summer wedding colour scheme, think bright hues and take advantage of the colours blooming during this season: yellows, purples, bright pinks and deep, bright blues. And, because Mother Nature can often have a mind of her own, always have an alternate plan if your summer wedding is outside — consider an alternate indoor location should the weather turn or hold the ceremony under a tent. Finally, if you follow these steps to planning your summer wedding you will ensure it is a memorable one, and while there are other things that need to be prepared for your summer wedding, once all these important steps are accomplished, everything will be much easier.

Other councillors felt the same way. “O bviously that property should be used for a higher and better use than a parking lot,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. He believes if it was paved to be- come a parking lot, it wouldn’t be used very much because he said, “it is a long and cold walk over the 401,” adding knows that first-hand having walked from the GO Station to the Pickering Civic Complex. “We can find something much better to fit into our urban plan than paving over a property beside the 401,” he said. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, who seconded the mo- tion, gave some advice to the Prov- ince. He suggested the property be sold and a part of the proceeds could go toward building a parking garage at a current GO lot and then there would still be plenty of profit left over.

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

Unemploy- ment rates are very low. As a result, there are opportunities in all sorts of careers.” A five-day program at the OPP Academy in Orillia recent- ly sought to spark interest in po- licing as a career. One hundred men and women were selected from the more than 1,000 appli- cants who hoped to participate in OPP Bound, an intense and often grueling experience that provides an inside look into the life of a recruit. In addition to the punishing drills, early-morning workouts and firearms training that are part and parcel to the experi- ence, “bounders” hailing from a variety of backgrounds and cultures received one-on-one mentoring from officers. “We see the need to attract members from all walks of life,” added Insp. Thomas. “Demanding” was Sean Whittingham’s enthusiastic as- sessment of the program. “But I am enjoying every minute of it.” Currently employed by the Ministry of the Attorney Gen- eral, the 39-year-old Ajax man is pondering a career change with an eye toward the OPP. “It is an excellent course,” Mr. Whittingham said moments before grappling with a fellow bounder in the parking lot out- side the training academy. “It is definitely going to get people prepared for what they are look- ing forward to in the (police force).” With a degree in criminal jus- tice under her belt, and a com- bined masters/PhD in psychol- ogy in the works, Whitby resi- dent Andrea Charles is equally enthused about the prospect of working for the provincial force. “I like the law -- period,” said Ms. Charles, 24. “Anything deal- ing with regulations and rules.” Across the street, in the lower level of OPP Headquarters, bounders clad in protective vests and armed with modified Colt assault rifles popped away at paper targets suspended from the ceiling, their paint- tipped bullets punching holes in silhouettes of the human body. “I’ve never shot a gun in my whole life, so I think I did pretty well,” an exhilarated Tyrone Baugh exclaimed while holding up a target riddled with holes. The 27-year-old Ottawa man landed 10 out of 10 hits, and was clearly pleased with his progress. “We’ve been running all week, so this is pretty smooth,” he added of their time on the fir- ing range.

There are some who scream ‘no’. Suzanne Elston is a community activ- ist living with her family in Courtice. The former executive director of the Recycling Council of Ontario, she was on the found- ing board of Waste Diversion Ontario and is currently the chairwoman of the Dur- ham Environmental Advisory Committee. “The more I read about (incineration), the more I felt it was a re- ally dumb idea on a whole pile of levels,” Ms. Elston said. “Burning garbage is one of the most expen- sive ways of getting rid of trash; it is not a cheap way of producing elec- tricity and that is a great public misconception.” Another common mis- conception, according to Ms. Elston, is that an in- cinerator eliminates the need for a landfill, which is not the case. “When you burn gar- bage, what remains is about 20 per cent by weight and 10 per cent by vol- ume, but through the process of incineration that relatively inert garbage becomes toxic,” Ms. Elston said. “So instead of having a landfill that is a little stinky and has flies and seagulls you have a toxic waste disposal property.” She also said incineration is counter productive to other more constructive waste-reduction and reprocessing initia- tives. These facilities burn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, she says, to maintain a certain temperature. That level of con- sumption will require importing garbage, she adds, as well as burning papers and plastics or feeding the plant with natural gas. “So it is very expensive, counter produc- tive to other three ‘R’ initiatives, requires us to import and leaves us with landfill,” she said. “For me, the biggest issue and the biggest reason I oppose incineration is that once you burn something it’s done. It is no longer recoverable as a resource.” In order to solve Durham’s waste issues, Ms. Elston suggests there needs to be a public paradigm shift. “O nce we get the idea that once we take possession of waste it then becomes our responsibility, we may shift our priorities,” she said. “The biggest problem we have with waste management is that we have never, ever owned it. Our idea of responsible waste management is making sure the blue boxes and the garbage bags are out to the curb on time. We don’t look at waste as some- thing we are re- sponsible for; we don’t look at it as something we generate.” On the other side of the coin is Professor Nicko- las Themelis, director of the Earth Engineer- ing Centre at Co- lumbia Univer- sity in New York. “I think (in- cineration) is a very necessary thing,” Mr. Themelis said. “Everything we use ends up as waste at the end and so far the principal way we do is landfill.” He said 1.4-billion tonnes of material is landfilled around the globe annually, which takes up land forever, takes up greenfields, and turns them into something you can’t do anything with in the future except maybe put some grass over it. So, if rather than landfilling waste it can by used to produce energy and recover metals, Mr. Themelis said the production of energy is preferable. “You avoid the use of land and you reduce the mining for coals,” Prof. Theme- lis said. “In one (incineration) plant in the (United States) I visited they recover something like $800 in coins everyday -- it is amazing.” As for emissions, Mr. Themelis said the same amount of carbon dioxide would be generated if you used fuel instead of waste to generate the same amount of electric- ity. “The only alternative is landfilling. You can’t compare it with recycling because you should recycle as much as you can; you should compost as much as you can. But at the end of the day there is a lot of material to be landfilled.” The representatives from the four facilities visited by a waste management delegation from Durham and York regions mini- mized the pull between the for and against incineration groups in Europe. However the groups exist and continue to fight against the technology. According to Andrew Male, communications co-ordinator for Greenpeace Canada, incin- eration is not something it has looked at in any great detail. This is not the case in Europe. “When we started in 1997, Greenpeace was very active in Sweden against incineration,” said Jonas Eek, manager of the energy department at the Sysav energy-from-waste facility in Sweden. “But their arguments weren’t validated,” he said. “It is basical- ly based on an old report from the 1980s when you didn’t have any flue gas treatment. Today it is completely different. Today I would say that we in ener- gy production have the lowest emissions of all different kinds of fuels that are used in energy production.” In 1985, while processing 1.5-million tonnes of waste, the dioxins were measured at 100 grams a year. Today, Mr. Eek said while processing two-million tonnes the dioxins measure less than one gram a year. A May 2006 paper, ‘Dirty Truths, In- cineration and Climate Change’, released by a United Kingdom environmental campaigning organization, Friends of the Earth, concludes incinerators are being sold to the public as a source of green electricity. However, after examining fossil-fuel- derived CO2, the report states, “it makes no sense to promote this type of technol- ogy when there are better waste manage- ment options available,” mainly anerobic digestion. At the facility in Amsterdam, the en- vironmental approval to operate it was gained without objection. Evelien Jonkhot, who is responsible for corporate communications at the Amster- dam facility, said that in 2005 Greenpeace in the Netherlands stated that they are more or less neutral when it comes to in- cineration, although they did not put that in writing. The Amsterdam plant gives all inter- ested non-government organizations and regional environmental parties all of its reports. “Emissions is a non-topic,” Marcelle Van Berlo, an engineer at the Amsterdam plant, said. “It is a topic from the past. I know it is sensitive to the public but it is an issue from the 1980s.” For more on this story To view this series in its entirety, visit keywordsearch: aburningissue Lessons learned Technical considerations The following are technical considerations when considering an energy-from-waste fa- cility. • Solid recovered fuel markets can be unreliable thus leading to stockpiling of product; • Extensive front end mechanical treat- ment is costly and recovers relatively little material; • The trend in Europe seems to be to- wards large mass burn incinerators; and • Stabilized landfills look much like regu- lar landfills. * Information based on a draft report by MacViro Consultants Inc.

ROUGEMOUNT CENTRE 905-250-9741 (NC)-One in four women in Canada have osteoporosis, experts say. This is a disease that robs the body of bone density and puts it in the highest risk category for bone fractures. Taking steps to prevent os- teoporosis is essential for everyone, and particularly for women as their estrogen levels decline during menopause. Keeping your doctor informed about the onset on menopause is the fi rst place to start - and becoming informed about exer- cise, foods and dietary supplements your- self is equally important. Learn, for example, about all the foods recommended to nurture, rejuvenate, and fuel the effi cient functioning of your body. Learn about botanicals and plant estrogens. Some of them are highly recommended to relieve menopause symptoms, like Pro- mensil, a botanical derived from red clover. This over-the-counter supplement is heav- ily supported by clinical evidence to slow down the rate of bone loss in both meno- pausal and younger women. “Promensil is an isofl avones, one of the plant estrogens,” says Dr. Nachtigall, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York University’s School of Medi- cine. “Red clover has all four of the most important isofl avones and it also has 10 to 20 times the quantity found in soy. Exten- sive clinical testing indicates that it may be the best natural supplement for menopause It’s up to you to protect your bones symptoms available.” Here’s a checklist of additional steps you can take to ensure your bones stay healthy and strong: o Increase calcium and vitamin D intake. o Limit caffeine. No more than two to three cups coffee, tea, or cola per day. o Do weight-bearing exercises at least 3 to 5 times per week. o Discontinue cigarette smoking. o Avoid excessive alcohol intake.

In creating a three-way partnership among themselves, their child and their child’s teachers, parents can go a long way to support their child’s success in school. While most parents are living busy lives, there are many ways to stay attuned with your child’s education, and communication with the teachers and your child is key. Dr. Donna McGhie-Richmond, Educational Specialist, says it is critical that a parent becomes involved with their child’s education. “Communication on a regular basis between parents and teachers is critical to a student’s success. Parents need to understand what is expected at school and the teacher needs to understand what the child’s home life is like,” Dr. McGhie-Richmond says. “If they know what each environment looks like then they can work together instead of against each other.” She adds it is important that the teacher and parent understand the other’s role and perspective, culture, life experience and language. “Just like a teacher develops a relationship with a child, it is essential the teacher develops a relationship with the parent,” says Dr. McGhie-Richmond. “It is also important to avoid being judgmental and to openly discuss any issues a teacher may have with the parent, and vice versa. Always ask open-ended questions and have an open dialogue. That doesn’t just go for parents, but for teachers as well,” McGhie-Richmond says. Communication should not just exist between the parent and teacher. Parents should always have an open line of communication with their child to show support. It is also critical parents watch their wording and to avoid discouraging their child with negativity. Dr. McGhie-Richmond says it’s important to never begin a sentence with ‘but’ as it always dismisses what the other person just said. “Use ‘and’ instead — ‘and’ is more acknowledging and tells the other person that ‘this is what you hear and understand.’ It is much more inclusive,” she says. - News Canada (NC)-If you’re looking for a fun and educational way to keep the kids busy af- ter school, get their creative juices fl owing with art activities. “Drawing and colouring is a great way to liven up an afternoon at home,” says Mona Steitieh, brand manager for Laurentien. “Scrapbook and art proj- ects are a stimulating alternative to watch- ing TV and kids have fun doing it.” It doesn’t have to be expensive either. All you need is some coloured art paper, scissors and a good assortment of colour- ing products, such as Laurentien pencil crayons and markers. “To keep markers from drying out because the kids forgot to recap them, invest in retractable mark- ers,” says Steitieh. Laurentien Retractable markers are a great option and come in 6 bold colours. For scrap books and projects, look for markers such as Paper Mate FLAIR that are made with water based ink that will dry quickly and won’t bleed through the paper or Bristol board. For added sizzle, easy storage and bright sparkly colour, kids like to use glit- ter-generating markers, which add pizzazz to every project. “On top of sparkle, scent- ed markers also inspire budding artists and help young kids identify colours easily,” says Steitieh.

The Toronto-area MP -- one of eleven Liberals competing for Paul Martin’s former job as leader of the federal party -- came to Oshawa to visit with local members and learn about issues that are critical to the area. “The unheld ridings are hugely important for us,” Ms. Bennett said in an interview. “The voices from these ridings are critical.” The highlight of her visit to the city, which included talks with local business leaders, was a meeting with General Motors’ vice-presi- dent David Paterson. “What was really important for me was to understand obviously some of the challenges, but also the huge opportunities for Canada in a globalized automotive industry,” she said. Among topics of discussion was the implementation of an auto strategy and the free trade deal with the Republic of Korea, she said. “I heard very clearly the con- cerns about the Korea free-trade deal,” Ms. Bennett said. “We need to learn our lessons that free trade needs to be fair trade. When there are non-tariff barriers and no real confidence that Korea would want our cars in their country, or really any of our products, then we have to be very weary of signing a deal for the sake of getting a notch on the belt of the trade minister who thinks Canada should have more trade deals.” She believes a deal cannot be signed with the Republic of Korea until all formal non-tariff barriers and all informal non-tariff barri- ers, such as cultural resistance, are eliminated. Ms. Bennett says she was im- pressed with the steps GM is tak- ing towards producing “greener” vehicles -- a trend that she supports and believes will be good not only for the environment, but for the Canadian economy. “I was very thrilled to hear the real commitment to climate change that General Motors has made and the real interest in the fuel manage- ment systems,” she said. The Liberal leadership and bi- ennial convention will be held in Montreal from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3. Liberal leadership hopeful Bennett visits Durham Popular men’s slo-pitch league marks 30th anniversary next year By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — To uchin’ ’em all after grooving one out of the park, or shagging a long, lazy fly ball while patrolling the outfield. They’re familiar scenes that play out Sundays on the diamonds of Pickering during the summer. Men young and old, many of whom played baseball or softball in their youth, put their best cleat- ed foot forward during the Pick- ering Men’s Slow Pitch League (PMSPL) season. Slo-pitch, for the uninitiated, is arguably a kinder, gentler version of baseball or soft- ball, with the ball lobbed in an arc over the plate. The game uses 10 players on the field, with an extra ‘rover’ in the outfield. Next year, the PMSPL marks its 30th anniversary of provid- ing recreational and competitive slo-pitch in the city. The league played its inaugural season in 1977 with eight teams in the fold. For PMSPL president Mike McMahon, the game has been a source of fun and competition for him as a young adult. It’s never lost its lustre as he’s been coming back to the league and his team for the past 10 seasons. As well as playing for the ‘A’ Di- vision Yankees, he’s been on the administrative side of the fence for the past four years, the last two as president. Mostly, the league has enabled the network specialist at a major financial institution to keep in contact with friends, not to men- tion play the game at a competi- tive level. “It’s a lot of fun. I play with all the guys I went to school with. It’s an outing every Sunday. I just enjoy playing. It does get competi- tive, but it’s not a bad thing,” he says. The league has also been a long- time source of enjoyment for Pick- ering resident Tony Poirier, who’s in his 16th season as a league member, this year with the ‘B’ Di- vision Winston Shagwell Chiefs. “For me, it’s the game itself. I love playing ball, I played it as a kid, but I dropped out for years. But, when I got older, it was time to get out and do something,” he says. The 49-year-old college profes- sor says the PMSPL is competitive, but not overly so, and, most of all, it represents an opportunity to play with and against many of the same players each summer. “I’ve had so much fun since then. The guys are great on my team and we field a pretty good team each year,” he says. “It’s a good league, well run, and we’ve never had a problem. “A fter every game, the players shake hands and everything is forgotten and next week we start again.” After 30 years of providing slo- pitch opportunities to men ages 18 and older, the league isn’t show- ing its age. Although the league, once known as the South Pick- ering Men’s Slow Pitch League, reached its zenith in the mid-’90s, with 72 teams taking part, it’s still as well-subscribed and vibrant as ever. This season, more than 800 players and 48 teams are on the fields. The league teams are divided into six divisions, from the com- petitive ‘A’ level down to the ‘F’ bracket for players ages 40 and older, and play is at Kinsmen Park, Dunmoore Park, Centennial Park and at William Dunbar Park. Moreover, the Pickering league is, according to McMahon, one of the biggest in North America. “That’s something to be proud of,” says McMahon. “We lost a few teams last year, but 48 teams is still a big number.” With so many teams and play- ers in the league, problems would be a natural outgrowth. No so, says McMahon, who notes the league executive prides itself on quick resolutions. He notes qual- ity people within the league have made it relatively easy to manage. “We rarely have any problems at all, rarely,” he says. “Commu- nication, I think, has been the key since I became president. I gave out my e-mail, and my telephone number and told the players if they had any problems, call, and I’ll address the problem as soon as I can.” McMahon is also proud of the fact that, year after year, the PMSPL has accommodated indi- vidual players and entire teams wishing to play slo-pitch. Last year, there were four players on the league’s waiting list. This year, the league took 25 players looking to get on a team and placed them on two new teams. “They were a bunch of people who didn’t know each other and now they’re having a blast,” says McMahon. The PMSPL also prides itself on giving back to the community in which it plays. For instance, the league has purchased six heart defibrillators for use at the various parks where it plays. The league also donated one in the name of Brian English, a longtime Picker- ing resident who died of a heart attack while refereeing a hockey game, to the new Petticoat Creek Community Centre in west Pick- ering. “Hopefully, we’ll never have to use them. But, if we do, they’re there,” he says. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 30, 2006 PAGE 13 A/P PART OF DOWN TO GO QTR SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Ajax-Pickering Rock host the Brooklin Merchants for Game 3 in the best-of-five Senior B lacrosse semifinal at the Pickering Recreation Complex today (Sunday) at 7 p.m. To view this series in its entirety, visit keywordsearch: aleagueoftheirown By the numbers Pickering Men’s Slow Pitch League 29 Years the league has been a part of the Pickering sport- ing fabric; 6 Number of divisions in the league, with the most competi- tive being ‘A’.

A round-robin record of 2-0-1 put Pickering in second place overall in the 10-team tourney in London last week- end and set up a semifinal showdown with the Mississauga Southwest Twins. Sox lead-off hitter Matt Savage got things started by singling and eventually mov- ing to third following a perfectly execut- ed hit-and-run by Andrew Nauth. Adam Corless then singled to drive in the run. Twins’ pitchers kept Pickering hit- ters off balance for the remainder of the game. Mississauga scored in the bottom of the first to tie it and scored another in the fifth for a 2-1 win. Pitcher Mathew McDowell took the loss, striking out 13 while giving up only four hits. Savage and Nauth had two hits apiece, while Corless, Adam Ray and Matt Halket each had one. The Sox opened play Friday against Newmarket and had to settle for a score- less tie. McDowell pitched a superb com- plete game, allowing only four hits while striking out four. Pickering could man- age only three hits, with singles coming off the bats of Savage, Jason Marraccini and Corless. Both teams had runners at second or third at various times during the game but each time the pitching and defence kicked in. Game 2 Saturday pitted the Sox against host London Southwest. Pickering com- bined for 11 hits but took advantage of nine walks and two hit batters to win 9-5. Greg Trusdale led the hitting with three singles. Savage, Nauth and Dan Wilkins each contributed two hits, while Eric Fox added a double and Halket a single. Wilkins picked up the win, while Ray pitched the final inning. Pickering won a rain-shortened Game 3 on Saturday, defeating Georgetown 4-3 in five innings. Nauth scattered nine hits, while walking three to get the win. Corless had three hits, Fox two, and Tyler Makos, Savage, Ray, Trusdale and Wilkins contributed singles. Dave Corless, Greg Halket, Adam Sav- age and John McDowell coach the team. The manager is Sandra Nauth. durhamregion.comP PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 30, 2006 FOR KITCHEN & BATHROOM RENOVATIONS PAY NO TAX, NO GST, NO PST HUGE RENOVATION SHOWROOM KITCHEN & BATHROOM MODELS CUSTOM UPGRADES INCLUDED WITH ALL RENOVATION PROJECTS BOOKED THIS MONTH! 1-888-BATH-RENO 416-285-6798 THRIFTY MECHANIC SHOP Inc. 695 Finley Ave. Unit 1, Ajax 905-683-1112 (Offer Expires July 31/05) BUMPER TO BUMPER SPECIAL $ 39 95 Wayne Hutchinson 696 King St. W.
