A woman has been arrested on two counts of theft following her surrender to Durham police, after the service released a picture of a suspect wanted in connection with attempts to abscond with shopping carts full of chewing gum from two Durham supermar- kets. It appears the motive for the thefts -- similar heists occurred in neighbouring York Region and across southern Ontario -- was to resell the gum, said Durham police Detective Constable Beth Richardson, who admitted that at first, cops were puzzled by the crimes. “It was certainly new to me,” she said of the incidents, in which a woman would typically wheel a cart through a large grocery store, fill it with cartons of gum, then exit with the loot covered by flyers. “I had never seen anything like it.” But believe it or not, the theft of gum for resale on the black market is becoming prevalent, DC Rich- ardson said. “We’ve had a lot of reports of this in the GTA,” she said. “It’s a Double Bubble trouble for gum theft suspect OPG ‘welcomes’ scope set by federal regulator By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The guidelines are in place for the environmental assessment Ontario Power Genera- tion must conduct as it decides if four reactors at the Pickering nu- clear station are to be refurbished. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has ruled OPG must conduct a screening level EA for the refurbishment of the four ‘B’ side reactors. OPG is preparing a business case for the refurbish- ment, and the EA is one aspect of it. The company is considering whether Units 5 to 8 could be re- built, work that could extend the life of the reactors to about 2060. If the CNSC rules against the re- furbishment, the units would shut down in 10 to 15 years. “It says for us, it provides us with a framework, a scope with what to do,” OPG spokesman John Earl states of the guidelines set out by the CNSC. We welcome this.” “It provides us with a scoping of what’s required in the EA process,” he adds. In it’s Record of Proceedings, including Reasons for Decision, “CNSC staff stated in its submis- sions that it is not aware at this time of any potentially significant environmental effects or public concern associated with this proj- ect which, in its opinion, would warrant having the project referred to a mediator or review panel.” Mr. Earl says the CNSC ruling “lays out all the things we have to look at while preparing a business case. What kinds of detail, what do they want us to do to prepare the EA, what parameters? Now we have the scope, the framework to complete it to their satisfaction.” Among the items that have to be examined are climate change, seismic activity, population growth in the GTA, and the possibility of a “catastrophic accident,” which could be caused by a technical fail- ure, a terrorist attack or a large airplane crashing into the plant. The CNSC decision noted sev- eral groups “disagreed with CNSC staff’s recommendation and re- quested that the Commission refer the project to a review panel, based SWING YOUR PARTNER Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Jackie Street and Ray Doak square dance at the Star Promenaders Square Dancing Club, which meets on Thursdays at the Don Beer Arena.

At a recent executive committee meeting, Coun. Pickles said lowering prices would promote family in- teraction and physical ac- tivity, as well as the use of Pickering recreation facili- ties. Although his motion was defeated, he brought it up again at the April 2 coun- cil meeting. Currently, single swim- ming admission before GST is: pre-teen, youth, senior, disabled, $2.12; adult, $3.07; and, family, $6.13. Single- admission swimming prices are set to increase slightly in September. Skating is more expensive: youth, $2.83; adult, $3.77; and, family, $9.43. “(That) is a lot to ask for a family pass,” Coun. Pickles said. He suggested pricing for both skating and swimming in the range of $2 for single admission or $5 for a family pass, including tax. “It’s not a big hit on rev- enue and it will serve youth and the community well,” he said. In fact, Coun. Pickles said “I suspect it would show an improvement in revenue.” When others at the meet- ing noted that a family 10- pass for swimming is avail- able for $55.66 (excluding GST), Coun. Pickles said “my concern is many fami- lies don’t have $50 in their pockets to spend at once.” The City’s chief adminis- trative officer, Tom Quinn, said the City often runs similar promotions at cer- tain times of the year, but it can become a “numbers game.” However, it’s some- thing he’s looking at with the culture and recreation staff and he said they will prepare a report. Coun. Pickles said he’d like to see at least a pilot project at some point. “I look forward to the re- port coming back at a future date,” he said.

Among the mandatory factors that have to be ad- dressed in an EA are the environmental effects of the projects, including the effects a malfunction or ac- cidents could have, and any measures that could miti- gate any significant environ- mental effects. The Record of Proceed- ings noted, “OPG reported that it considered that the potential environmental ef- fects of the project could be established with a high de- gree of certainty since the environmental impacts of operating Pickering ‘B’ have been well established.” Commission members agreed with a CNSC staff recommendation that the purpose of the project be considered. Mr. Earl says the company has “been working on the business case for some time. The project will be viewed in as many ways as possible. Does this opportunity, this project, make good sense?” OPG is aiming for early 2008 to have the business case completed. “It’s not time driven. It will be the best business case we can put forward,” Mr. Earl noted. OPG plans to have business case f inished by 2008 new trend, I guess.” The Durham incidents occurred at supermarkets in Pickering and Ajax. In both instances, the female suspect fled after she was approached while trying to wheel away carts full of gum and was seen driving off in a red Cavalier. It was determined the suspect was re- sponsible for heists that saw more than $5,000 worth of gum stolen from stores in the GTA and beyond, police said. Durham cops released a picture of a suspect to local media and soon re- ceived a tip, DC Richardson said. “Somebody recognized her from her photograph and called me,” she said. Police contacted a woman who agreed to turn herself in. Carole Bradbury, 50, of Ardenthorpe Road in Toronto is charged with two counts of theft under $5,000. ✦ Toronto from page 1 www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!

The show, titled after the supercontinent in which all the earth’s land masses were joined, recently fea- tured more than 40 acts and 300 spectators in the athletic centre at Durham College and the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT). In its second year, Pangaea in- cluded performances rep- resenting North America, Polynesia, Latin America, western Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the pacific rim. “We’re trying to bring people together in harmo- ny,” said Nicole Sarvaria, incoming president of Stu- dents for Humanitarianism and Action through Respect and Education (SHARE). The group hosted Pangaea in partnership with the stu- dent association and other campus clubs. In the hallway outside the athletic centre, students dressed in various cultural costumes rehearsed for their performance. Milauni Patel was among those pre- paring for her act. “It will include the Bol- lywood style dances from the different regions,” said Ms. Patel, dressed in tra- ditional Indian attire. “I think (spectators) will un- derstand more about how there are different regions; it’s bringing diversity in one dance.” “We just hope people enjoy it and learn some- thing about us,” said Sweta Tejpal, one of Ms. Patel’s fellow dancers. “We incor- porate our experiences into today’s world.” While they were out- side practising, inside the athletic centre the UOIT Dance Company did flips, jumps and group moves for a hip-hop performance representing North Amer- ica. Hawaiian dancers hit the stage next for Polyne- sia, dressed in grass skirts, leis, and floral patterned shirts and shorts, while salsa dancers representing Latin America swung each other around. By making people aware of the different cultural groups in Canada and on campus, it helps eliminate racism, said Ms. Sarvaria. She added the show’s title, Pangaea, is intended to say we all originated from the same place. “We want people to walk away understanding the different cultures can work together, can basically just integrate and get along with each other,” said Ms. Sarvaria. Last year’s show attracted about 200 spectators and received positive feedback, she said. While Rohan Sharma sat in the audience watching the different groups per- form, he was also waiting for his turn to do some Bhangra dancing. Mr. Shar- ma said he hoped the pre- sentation would educate people about the style of dancing and help recruit more people to the UOIT Bhangra team. “It evolved from Bhangra folk... a modern twist to the modern song,” said Mr. Sharma about the style. Sindu Thava, a university student and member of the campus’ Tamil Association, said such a united show has a positive influence on racial discrimination and gives students the chance to meet each other. “It’s great the fact it’s uniting all the cultures to- gether so each culture gets a taste of the other,” said Ms. Thava. This year, SHARE also presented a ‘Taste of the World’ lunch event prior to the Pangaea show.

With matching provincial funding totals $500K DURHAM — It’s going to get a little easier for some students to go to univer- sity, following a TD Bank Financial Group donation. The $250,000 donation to the University of Ontar- io Institute of Technology (UOIT) was announced by Frank McKenna, the bank’s deputy chairman and a former premier of New Brunswick and Ca- nadian Ambassador to the U.S., during his April 10 visit to the school. While there, he deliv- ered a speech to students about the critical role edu- cation plays in enhancing Canada’s standard of living and quality of life. “A n educated society is a prosperous society,” said Mr. McKenna. “It is the cornerstone to our knowledge econ- omy and, as such, must be viewed as a strategic investment for both indi- viduals attending school and governments funding them. TD also takes this view and is pleased to sup- port students who are de- veloping real-world skills at UOIT.” The donation establish- es the TD Bank Financial Group Graduate Scholar- ship, which will provide $5,000 annually to quali- fied full-time UOIT stu- dents in financial need be- ginning in the 2007-2008 academic year. The donation qualifies for matching funds under the provincial govern- ment’s Ontario Trust for Student Support, creat- ing a total endowment of $500,000.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 13, 2007 durhamregion.com Angry drivers in cars not a good mix Maybe it’s time to release frustrations in other ways W hen you think about it, automo- biles are big, heavy, powerful machines. The people driving them are in control. The combination of big machines and angry drivers is not a nice picture. Recently, three vehicles were involved in a road rage incident that began in Markham and ended at Whites Road and Taunton Road in Pickering. One car ended up in the ditch. Why on earth would someone carry their confrontation throughout the streets and put others in danger? The best part is that police seized two machetes and two steel bars. Imagine if you were the one who got on the wrong side of one of these drivers? Road rage is a scary thing. Everyone has bad-driver stories, and I’m sure many have gotten angry behind the wheel themselves. It happens. There are good drivers and bad drivers, some in a hurry and others who take their time. Some believe that following close behind the vehicle ahead will speed things along, others stay back. If you’re an aggressive driver, it’s easy to get mad at the ones who take their time. But, it’s also easy to get angry at the aggressive drivers. Road rage is just yet another vicious - or aggressive - circle. In a 2004 survey on www.roadragers. com, 2,295 Canadians expressed their driving habits. Seventy-three per cent said they tailgate to help drivers speed up and 56 per cent admitted they think all other drivers are complete idiots. Eighty-one per cent said they use obscene gestures on the road and 52 per cent said they’d return the gesture. It has been said that driving gives peo- ple a sense of anonymous power. But, it’s just like the people who use the opportu- nity of a traffic jam to pick their nose. We can see you. In fact, road ragers, we can see you when you dart in and out of lanes when traffic’s a little slow. We can see you tail- gating. Although we can’t hear the words flowing out of your mouth when some- thing ticks you off, we can usually tell it’s not a lullaby, especially when the middle finger accounts for the visual. It’s true, we’re all different. We all drive differently. However, I think it’s safe to say there’s no place for anger on the roads. To all the angry drivers in the world (or Pick- ering): it’s time to take your frustrations out on something other than the road. It’s better to say you let some frustrations out by scoring a goal in a hockey game than by killing someone driving too slow in the passing lane on the 401.

The City of Pickering and Town of Ajax once again are active participants in the 20-minute Makeover, which coincides with Earth Day. It’s on April 20 at 2 p.m. and businesses, schools, com- munity groups and individuals are invited to take part. In Ajax, Mayor Steve Parish has issued a challenge to all local businesses to participate in the 20-minute blitz, which kicks off Ajax Environmental Affairs Week in the town. It’s a bit late, but businesses can still register to take part by contacting Alison Shep- pard in the Ajax Economic Development office, at 905-683-3000, ext. 231, or at alison.sheppard@townofajax.com. The Town will supply the bags and gloves and, if you need it, will even pick up the trash you collect. Participating businesses will receive a thank-you certificate from Mayor Parish. Ajax residents and schools can also take part, of course, and Pizza Pizza, Tim Hortons and McDonald’s are serving as distribu- tion points for garbage bags and gloves. Last year in Pickering, more than 8,500 people took part in the blitz, collecting mountains of trash in the city. If you want to help make Pickering cleaner, call Pickering’s Customer Care Centre at 905-683-7575. By signing up, City staffers will know where to deliver clean-up supplies before the event starts and take away the trash when it’s over. This is the kind of event that should become a tradition in Pickering and Ajax. Co-workers, friends and school kids working together in a big spring cleaning of the community. So, consider getting involved. Twenty minutes of your time isn’t a lot to ask. ‘No justification’ for Pickering tax hike To the editor: If my council that governs this 20-mule-team town (we do not live in a city) keeps claiming that we live in a grand place then there is no justification for a tax hike. What feculent nonsense! Politicians should be given a fixed salary only. No more ex- pense accounts. I have to live on a mediocre wage with a yearly raise of 25 cents. Don’t even think about giving yourself a raise; you’re not worth it. My street is never properly plowed and our world class Waterfront Trail beside me is a dangerous eyesore. After being involved with the (Frenchman’s Bay) issue for 17 years we now are just starting on major improvements. What is wrong with this picture? Some major roads like Bayly Street are a disgrace. Perhaps it’s time to withhold tax payments until improve- ments are made. Why is it that private citizens end up working to improve the status quo. As for the Blackberry issue, perhaps Councillor Dickerson can make do with two, over-size bean cans and a very long string. Frank Threlkeld Pickering Friendship program makes connections with students who have intellectual disabilities By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A friend- ship program is looking to make best buddies with the Durham District School Board. Best Buddies Canada, a non-profit group, wants to set up shop in more of the area’s secondary schools, said its executive director, Steven Pinnock, during the Durham District School Board’s April 2 standing committee meeting. “We’re already in a num- ber of your schools and we’re looking for your en- dorsement or your bless- ing to approach all of your schools,” said Mr. Pinnock. It’s now in four Durham public high schools. The friendship program is designed to make con- nections between students and their peers with intel- lectual disabilities. Partici- pants get the opportunity to do things some take for granted, such as going for a coffee or to the movies, said Mr. Pinnock. Student Sophia Mangov started the program in her Pickering school, Pine Ridge Secondary. She be- came a Best Buddies vol- unteer after her cousin, who has an intellectual disability, said people at school were making fun of her. “And it broke my heart,” said Ms. Mangov. “Just because they might be different they are still our peers,” she said, and added they deserve to have friends. If every school in Dur- ham offered the Best Bud- dies program, it would make things more enrich- ing for everyone, said Ms. Mangov. At her school, students and their buddies make and sell Easter crafts and chocolates together. They also have pizza par- ties, participate in school clean up projects, and some pairs even go shop- ping and to the movies after school, she said. “They have fun together, which is really cool,” said Ms. Mangov. Student Trustee Rachel Noble of Port Perry High School also supports Best Buddies. “We have this program at our school, I believe it truly makes a difference,” said Trustee Noble. “Those students have so much fun participating in those ac- tivities.” Trustee Noble said it’s great to see the smiles on their faces when they’re participating in things at the school. She invited Best Buddies to do a pre- sentation for the student senate. Student Trustee Jes- sica Forrest attends Henry Street High School and said she hopes the pro- gram comes to her Whitby school soon. Best Buddies has been in Canada for 13 years and often works with other community groups to find the right partnership matches, said Mr. Pinnock. Over the last couple years, it has started establishing itself in high schools and its goal by 2010 is to be in more, he said. Mr. Pinnock said some- times he finds principals and parents don’t know about the program, which isn’t fair to them because it can help their kids. Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill asked what’s involved in bringing the program to a school. Mr. Pinnock said there is a recruitment pro- cess, usually done through educational assistants, and involving no arm twisting. Training is also provided on everything from start- ing up a chapter to prob- lem solving, he said. Oshawa Trustee Larry Jacula asked to see some information on the Best Buddies program to ensure recruitment is truly volun- tary. Mark Joel, superinten- dent of operations, said any non-profit organization can send its information to the operations department. If the board approves, which he said sounded likely, the information would be sent to all schools. Mr. Pinnock said Best Buddies also likes to meet with people to explain the program so they know the last thing the group wants to do is put more work on the school’s shoulders. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau said she thinks Mr. Pinnock’s time there was well spent and she hopes he’s feeling the posi- tive vibes she sensed from other trustees about the program.

Bumbling robbers rounded up by cops PICKERING — Three teens have been charged after their bumbling at- tempt to rob a south Pickering convenience store was interrupted by police Wednesday night. Durham cops arrived to find three suspects fleeing on foot after a clerk at the Kitchen Food Fair on Bayly Street East called to report a robbery in progress. Officers followed the three to a getaway ve- hicle waiting nearby and blocked it; they were found in the back seat. Also taken into custody were two girls who were later released. The clerk told police he became alarmed around 10 p.m. when he saw three males with their faces cov- ered attempting to open a locked door. When that method of entry failed they tried to open another door, but found it also locked. The three scattered when police arrived but were soon rounded up. Three males from To- ronto, two 16 and the other aged 17, are charged w ith robbery, wearing a disguise and breach of re- cognizance. PICKERING — A pizza de- livery person had a knife held to his throat during an early- morning robbery Tuesday in Pickering.

The suspects searched the victim’s pockets and fled south on Glenanna towards Pickering Parkway with cash, police said. The suspects are described as black men in their teens. Both wore bandanas on their faces. Delivery person threatened with knife Participants must be either in need of or awaiting knee or hip replacement surgery.

Councillors are reimbursed for ex- penses for attending conferences and conventions up to $7,500 per term of council. Due to the new four-year term of council, a staff report recommended the limit incurred by an individual councillor for attendance at con- ferences and conventions be in- creased from $7,500 to a maximum of $15,000. “If you increase your conference budget by 50 per cent, guess what will get the press,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “You as a finance committee have a tough sell in 2007; if you want to make it tougher on yourself, pass this.” Mayor Parish said he felt an in- crease to $15,000 was too much and he made a motion to amend the in- crease to $10,000. “It could lead to abuse and I think it sends the wrong signal,” he said. The $15,000 recommendation was put together by Jim Clapp, the com- missioner of finance, based on the cost of some upcoming conferences. The allotment can be used at the dis- cretion of the councillors. But, his- torically, not all Regional councillors use their conference money and as a result, Mr. Clapp said no increase in the total budget was required. “Although I appreciate the com- ments by Mayor Parish I certainly don’t agree with the suggestion that there could be abuse,” said Regional chairman Roger Anderson. He said the cost of attending confer- ences like the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is increas- ing, with registration now at $800 per person plus hotel costs. “There will be a surplus because not everyone is going to go to confer- ences,” he said. “But if you go to two conferences a year you are going to spend a minimum of $3,500.” In the end the committee agreed to increase the rate to $10,000 to cover the four-year term. Council passed the recommendation at it’s March 28 meeting. By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When Colette Quanduk went on a power walk with a friend in 1994, she fell so badly that she had to be carried home. In 1996, she toured Blackpool, England with her family and couldn’t even walk back to the hotel at the end of the day. “But when I’d get back home, everything would be fine,” she said. In 1998, she joined a gym and began to experience problems with her left leg. She decided to visit a neurologist in 1999, think- ing she had pinched a nerve. She had no idea the doctor would tell her she had multiple sclerosis. “I didn’t even think it would be MS,” she said. “I just cried on my way home.” Approximately 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians live with MS, one of the highest rates in the world. It is a disease that affects the cen- tral nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), attacking, inflaming and sometimes destroying the myelin that protects it. There is no cure and the exact cause of MS is unknown. Ms. Quanduk was diagnosed with primary-progressive MS, which means an almost continu- ous worsening of the disease with a slim possibility for relapse or remission. Ms. Quanduk does not receive treatment since she has to be in remission or have a mild case in order for the medication to work. The only forms of medication she uses are a B12 injection every two weeks and vitamins. She takes Ty- lenol 3 when the pain is really bad and Valium when it’s unbearable. And it does get unbearable. “It’s almost as if someone is tak- ing the nerve and stretching it,” she said. Ms. Quanduk, an Ajax resident, is the mother of three children: Chad, 22, Cory, 19, and Jennifer, 17. The 48-year-old mother lives with her common-law partner, Dave Wedlake, 48, and she admits she’s sometimes surprised he’s still with her. “It’s no picnic for him,” she said. “I’m not sure there are many peo- ple who do stick around.” Mr. Wedlake said it’s still dif- ficult for him to really understand what she goes through each day. “The most frustrating thing I deal with is Colette’s stubborn- ness,” he said. “Just allowing us to help her on a daily basis is difficult because she doesn’t always want to take it from us.” But, Ms. Quanduk is thankful for her stubbornness and said “If I hadn’t been that stubborn, I don’t think I’d be on my legs.” She said it can’t be easy for her kids either, and although she complains that they don’t help out enough around the home, she said “they’re teens. Why should they have to think about things like that?” But, her daughter Jennifer said “I don’t like seeing what she goes through every day.” Ms. Quanduk said one of the most difficult aspects of her dis- ease is that she doesn’t know how she’s going to feel from one day to the next. A bad day consists of feeling completely stiff and not being able to get up in the morn- ing. A good day is being able to wake up and make a cup of tea. “You don’t know until you get up in the morning what type of day you’re going to have,” she said. Ms. Quanduk said she really misses working, and although she gets government disability ben- efits through the Canada Pension Plan, she said she’d rather work. “I just wish there was more op- portunity for me to earn an in- come,” she said. “And there’s not.” Ms. Quanduk had to quit her job as a barmaid after she kept falling. They didn’t ask her to leave; in fact, she said they were quite sup- portive. But, she couldn’t handle eight hours on her legs. She said she also had to leave a job in 2001 when management didn’t allow her to use a stool. She said she’d like to look after children, but she can’t imagine chasing after kids all day. She recalls helping her mother with groceries and running er- rands when she was a girl. But now, going out is not an easy task. “It’s very seldom I go out on my own,” she said. Instead, she’ll go out with her kids, Mr. Wedlake or her girlfriends. She chooses between her walker, wheelchair or cane depending on the outing and how she feels. But, even when accompanied, she ex- periences problems. For example, her doctor’s office has parking for those with disabilities, but she has to climb four steps to get inside. Ms. Quanduk said she often feels people don’t understand what she goes through. “Sometimes you have to know someone and see their struggles in order to empathize with some- one else,” she said. She wants people to be aware of the problems Canadians with MS go through. So, she’s joining the others in the Super Cities WALK for MS this Sunday in Pickering, starting at 9:30 a.m. at Pine Ridge Secondary School.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 13, 2007 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Billboard APRIL 13, 2007 Durham’s university to study nuclear fuel for uranium producer By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A major uranium producer is giving Durham’s uni- versity $1.5 million to help it re- search nuclear fuel. Cameco Corporation and the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology will work together over the next five years through a new research chair, announced Thurs- day, April 12 at the school’s Oshawa campus. “It’s no secret that given the reli- ance of this province on nuclear en- ergy... this is a very good investment in the future of our province,” said Gerald Grandey, Cameco president and chief executive officer, while standing at the podium in UOIT’s Business and IT building. The Cameco Research Chair in Nuclear Fuel involves UOIT associ- ate professor Brian Ikeda working on research, assembling a team, and purchasing research equipment for the uranium producer, said George Bereznai, dean and professor, the school of energy systems and nu- clear science. “It is, I think, a world-class op- portunity being created here,” said Mr. Grandey. Through the chair award, Mr. Ikeda will research nuclear elec- tric generation, process automa- tion, health and safety, and more, with the new technologies created as a result to be shared between UOIT and Cameco. According to Mr. Grandey, the mutual goal is to achieve cost and nuclear fuel tech- nology efficiency. “This partnership will have a sig- nificant impact on the future of nu- clear,” said Ronald Bordessa, UOIT president. He said the investment will allow a team of experts from UOIT and Cameco to come together to spear- head research and share world- class facilities and expertise. “We are tremendously proud to be singled out to partner Cameco,” said Mr. Bordessa. He added that together they will exceed what they would have been able to do alone. Mr. Bordessa said he’s proud UOIT’s reputation has garnered Cameco’s attention and is excited about what they’ll achieve together. “We look forward to what the future will bring all of us,” said Mr. Bordessa. Mr. Bereznai, standing in front of the crowd of about 60 people, said it was nice to see representatives from so many levels of government at Thursday’s announcement. He added the university is ideally lo- cated to partner with nuclear. The research the university and Cameco do together will enhance produc- tion and reduce greenhouse gases, he said. In an interview, Mr. Bereznai said the research UOIT is doing through the chair is unique because it’s interactive and will address short- and long-term results for Cameco. He added the investment will also provide leverage to get more fund- ing and the money could be tripled over the next five years with funds from the provincial and federal gov- ernment, among others. Travis Dutka, vice president of UOIT’s student association, said the announcement will help add sub- stance to the university’s reputa- tion. “That this university is a leader and is producing leaders,” said Mr. Dutka, a third-year commerce stu- dent at the school, following the ceremonies. For engineering students, it will allow them to work with leaders and in facilities they wouldn’t be able to, as well as apply theory to real life. “We believe that making this investment will stimulate great ideas... but as important, the invest- ment will go into the development of bright young people,” said Mr. Grandey. He added more countries are be- ginning to look at using nuclear en- ergy and more plants are planned for the future. Jim Flaherty, Canada’s finance minister and the Whitby/Oshawa MP, also attended the announce- ment. He said the partnership warms his heart, but it’s something that will be good for the region. “It’s a bright day outside today although it looks dull,” said Lou Rinaldi, MPP for Northumberland riding, in congratulating UOIT and Cameco on the partnership. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 13, 2007 NE042H207 © 2007.

The cheers of sports fans were replaced by pig squeals and chicken clucks at Vipond Memori- al Arena in Brooklin recently, as local growers and livestock producers brought all the sights and sounds of farm life to 1,200 Durham students. Durham Region Farm Connections 2007, a sec- ond annual event held April 3 to 5, aimed at raising awareness about agriculture. An open house was held April 4 for the public. “Less than two per cent of the population live on farms yet it’s the second largest industry in Durham Region next to the automotive industry,” said steering committee chairwoman Mary Ann Found. It’s important to expose young people to farm- ing, an aging profession, she said. The average age of a farmer in Durham Region is 49, while the provincial average is 52. “We present it to third-graders because we find it’s a good starting point,” Ms. Found explained. “They’re able to take in information and they’re starting to have more influence as to the choices their parents make. We hope they’ll take some of the information home to them,” said Ms. Found, who raises beef, sheep and finishing hogs in south Courtice’s “urban shadow” near Prestonvale Road. The realization that their breakfast sausage is made of ground-up pork pieces softened up by pig intestines inspired some “yucks” from students from Roland Michener Public School in Ajax. “We’ve been getting some obvious questions like, ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’,” said Glenn Barkey, a second-generation dairy farmer from Raglan. “Some wanted to know if brown cows make chocolate milk.” But for the most part, even students from urban areas have been well-prepared beforehand by their teachers, said Tyrone sheep producer Rebecca Parker. Daughter-in-law to world championship sheep producer Lloyd Skinner, Ms. Parker recently lost her entire barn and two-thirds of her flock to a fire. Durham is home to many world-class growers and producers, pointed out Hampton cattle and sheep farmer Dave Davidson, acting as a tour guide to students from Bolton C. Falby Public School in Ajax. While Cannington dairy farmer Jean Shire showed Tommy White from Glengrove Public School in Pickering how to make curds and whey, Port Perry grower Ed Hanson’s corn, soya and wheat planter proved popular with students. More than 70 growers and producers from Dur- ham donated their time at the event. Farming is becoming more and more of a challenge with ris- ing production costs, the pressures of surrounding development and environmental concerns, said Ms. Found. Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Rebecca Parker climbs over a fence to let visiting Grade 3 students pet a baby lamb at the annual Farm Con- nections event at the Luther Vipond Arena. More than 600 Durham students attended the three-day program to get a better understanding of farming and farm animals. Open-wheel car to spin its tires By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM —A team of Durham university stu- dents is spinning its open- wheel tires to California for an international racing competition. The University of Ontar- io Institute of Technology’s Motorsports team is en- tering its first open-wheel race in the Society of Au- tomotive Engineers’ (SAE) annual competition, June 13 to 16 at the California Speedway in Fontana. “We had to start from ab- solute scratch,” said Sean Hopman, project leader and mechanist engineering student, while air compres- sors and grinders were run- ning in the background. Wo rking inside an in- dustrial unit just off Sim- coe Street, members of the team assembled the car they started designing al- most two years ago. The team includes about 40 people, with 15 who work on it steadily. The team used a com- puter to test theories and design three-dimensional models to ensure materials and sizes work together. “We spent a lot of time at the beginning so it goes as smoothly as possible,” said Mr. Hopman. Members have been working on the car during their free time and received help from sponsors such as Durmach, a Bowmanville machine shop, which is its title sponsor. The company provided 90 per cent of the car’s motor and free use of space and equipment. Most of the parts were made using raw materi- als, tubes and steel. Even if they find an existing part that fits, it usually has to be modified. “Piece by piece, you can see them come together,” said Mr. Hopman. “Even the brake rotor, that’s made by us.” The first part of con- struction involved building a frame. “As a whole, the frame itself weighs 75 pounds,” said Mr. Hopman. Fully assembled with its engine and full body panels, it weighs about 500 pounds compared to a regular car’s 2,500 pounds. Their goal is to make it as compact as possible so it’s small but fast, light but reliable. “They all seem to work opposite to each other so that’s where the engineer- ing comes in,” said Mr. Hopman. Some teams use a car- bon fibre which reduces its weight to about 300 pounds. “We may not have the fastest car in the race, but we’ll finish,” said Mr. Hop- man. The car uses a Suzuki motorcycle fuel-injected engine, which doesn’t sound like much, but be- cause it’s so light, it pro- vides the same ratio to some other super cars, said Cameron Mackey, a third- year mechanical engineer- ing student. Mr. Mackey said not all of the teams will even be able to finish the race. He thinks their car will be reasonably fast, but, above all, reliable and ready for anything that breaks. “We have a lot of guys that work on race tracks so if something happens, we sort of know what to do,” said Shane Viccary, a first- year automotive engineer- ing student. When the car is fin- ished, they’ll spend about a month doing system tests to make sure it’s ready for the race. On stands, they’ll be making sure it shifts properly and runs well, said Mr. Mackey. They’ll also bring a com- plete set of spare parts with them to California in case anything breaks, and used parts compatible with the same tools so they can work fast if needed. In the competition, the car has to compete in a 45-minute endurance race, requiring quick accelera- tion and good handling for fast corners. The students will also have to explain and prove the engineering behind their product. Mr. Mackey said they’ll be re- porting to real racers and won’t be able to fake their answers. The competition in- cludes 80 post-secondary schools from around the world, including Japan, Europe and Australia. The total budget allowed by the SAE is $30,000, including shipping. Luckily for them, Mackie Moving Systems has signed on as a spon- sor and is going to ship the car. So far, their costs have been covered 99 per cent by fundraising and spon- sors. The team generally spends about four or five hours each Saturday work- ing on the extracurricular project. “There were times in the first year I remember stay- ing until 3 a.m. working on the computer on this,” said Mr. Mackey. Mr. Hopman said the project looks good on a re- sume because many engi- neers know about the com- petition. He added there is a “huge learning curve” involved and many other students graduate without knowing how to use the machines involved in their work. Members of the team said they got involved in the project because they love cars and racing. “Being able to actually design a car from scratch and see where it is now is amazing,” said Mr. Mack- ey. After the competition, the team will take the car to various auto shows and local competitions. They also hope to start showing it to politicians as well to try and get sponsor- ships. In September, they’ll have a meeting for every- one in the school to check out the car, with an invita- tion to join the team. They’ll also be looking for more sponsors.

McKinney Centre (Tauton and Brock St., Whitby) April 27-29 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 13, 2007 PAGE 21 A/Pdurhamregion.com homeWEET (NC)-What’s popular one year becomes old hat next year. In fashion, in movies, in food, in music and, of course, in home decor. As a decorator and home economist and fre- quent guest on Citytv’s CityLine, I need to keep up to date with the trends. It’s a part of my job that I real- ly enjoy, because I love the excitement of what is new and I love turning people on to what is fresh and new in the marketplace. W hat’s different this year? The big story is that, at last, after years of being a minority issue, envi- ronmental awareness has moved into the mainstream. In home decor, it shows in our choice of colours and in our choice of materials. One of these styles is called Eco Chic. Colours are gentle and forgiving, the purest white, the palest lemon, the most brilliant chartreuse. Ma- terials are close to nature - raw wood in all its glory, stone, mother of pearl, hand crafted textiles. Co- lours and materials unite in patterns that replicate botanical forms, artwork recreates the natural world. In window fashions look for fabrics created from grasses, reeds and bamboo. I think of a simple roll- er shade that filters light through homespun yarns. Another change is that people now stay home for many of the experiences they used to go out for. Movie night happens in home theatres. Big screens, access to media over satellite and internet connections, means that home is more important than ever. This importance is expressed in Classic Creations, a look that has always been in style, a look built around the idea of heirloom furni- ture, and lush fabrics. Colours are nostalgic - burgundy, plum, jade, gold and spice. The star fabrics are Dupioni silks, and in the windows are Roman shades, in the traditional luxurious style. Levolor has introduced a wide range of exclusive fabrics, not just for Romans but also for roller shades. Metro Mod Lastly, another home- centred trend, but one for people living a full life in a small space. This year, in North America, there will be for the first time more single-person households than traditional family units. Even if you don’t live in an urban loft, you’ll live as if you did, in Metro Mod style. It’s a look that doesn’t need a lot of money to put together, though some may splurge on upscale appliances and chic designer furniture. Colours are warmer and vegetal in tone from last year’s urban style; mauve, turquoise, pump- kin and bronze. Dark un- dertones create a dusty look. Levolor selections include cellular shades, faux and real woods, Pan- eltrac and others in new colours, styles and sizes with control options. You can get a closer look online at www.le- volor.ca. What’s hot in the home for 2007? home SWEET home • Advertising Feature durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 22 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 13, 2007 home SWEET home • Advertising Feature (NC)-Grilling is synonymous with long weekends and cottage trips. Before loading up the car for a trip out of town, make sure you’ve got the right grilling accessories. The Home Depot Canada offers the following top 10 grilling essentials to help you rule outdoor cookouts: Tongs. Obtain tongs that are long-handled to avoid burns and splat- ters. Consider those made of stainless steel for easier cleanup and wood handled for com- fortable control. Spatula. Every griller needs a strong, stainless steel spatula to turn over meats and vegetables and ensure that every- thing cooks evenly. Fork. Don’t let your dinner fall to the ground. Choose a long handled fork with sharp tips to easily pierce thick meats and vegetables. Rotisserie. Enjoy roasting whole chickens and turkey on the grill with a rotisserie. Some are equipped with elec- tronic motors that pro- vide smooth turning for an even roast. Meat thermometer. Say goodbye to un- dercooked steaks and chicken with a meat thermometer that lets you know when they’re fully cooked. Grilling trays. A variety of trays make cooking pizzas, delicate filets and veggies on the grill a breeze. Skewers. Invest in metal skewers. They won’t burn, last longer and are easy to clean. Knives. Have a variety of knives on- hand for cutting into food, splitting portions and satisfying guests. A long-handled knife is perfect for carving while steak knives en- sure that guests can eat without struggle. C leaning brush. Grab a grilling brush that has a long wooden handle, a metal scraper and stainless steel bris- tles. For safety reasons, change the brush when you notice the bristles are starting to wear. Bug repellant. Enjoy the freedom of grill- ing without unwanted visitors like mosquitoes and black flies. Rub on some repellant to ward off those flying pests. Also, consider burning citronella candles or turning on a portable electronic mosquito re- pellant device.

The garage door is typically the largest moving object in a home; and because of its size and weight, spe- cial care should be taken to maintain safe operations. Mounting tracks and hardware: If not positioned and attached properly, the door might come off the track and fall. Corner Brackets: Usually attached to the high-tension cables that lift the door, if these brackets are loose, they could disconnect and fly off at danger- ous speeds. Springs: Due to the high tension in the cables that are attached to these springs, any repairs or adjustments should only be made by a qualified service company. For safety, consider enclosing extension springs in a metal tube or installing a safety cable inside the extension spring. Panel Section Joints: Never attempt to operate the door by placing fingers near or in the joint between door sec- tions. Monitor children who might be tempted to insert their fingers in these small openings. Some garage doors are equipped with finger-protecting joints that minimize this danger. Entrapment Protection with Auto- matic Door Operators: Recently manu- factured doors should have some type of safety device, such as an electronic eye or a pressure-sensitive control, which detects objects obstructing the door. Check these safety features periodically according to the manufacturer’s guide- lines. Consider replacing or retrofitting older automatic garage doors that do not have these modern safety features. Remember, when in doubt, con- sult a professional. More home safety information and maintenance infor- mation is available online at www. housemaster.com. How safe is your garage door?

He prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Gordon adds “An interior weeping tile sys- tem with drainage board can be extremly efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” “Homeowners should invest in their foundations,” Gordons says “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and you could possibly save yourself a fortune.” “No job is too big or small” he says, add- ing he will promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem. For more information or a free profes- sional evaluation call Gordon at Crawford & Sons (905) 686-6880. Basement waterproofing professionals “No job is too big or small” (NC) - With summer drawing nearer, now is the time to cozy up with a central air conditioner. Consider these helpful tips from Reliance Home Comfort, to make your system selection a breeze. High on efficiency: Choose a unit with a higher SEER (seasonal energy efficiency rating) to save on energy and efficiency. Low on sound: Select a central air con- ditioner with a low outdoor sound rating - no higher than 7.6B (bels). Size matters: Determine the cooling load necessary for your home. An over- sized unit will result in an unpleasantly cold and damp home, while an undersized system won’t keep you cool enough. Installation: Installing the unit cor- rectly is just as important as choosing the right unit. Be sure to follow the manufac- turer’s guidelines carefully.

Bringing wood to life Brooklin Woodcarvers share ideas and passion for the art form By Lesley Bovie lbovie@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Joe Dampf has spent the last 30 years carving out the story of his life -- literally. “My work is very personal,” he says of the wood sculptures that adorn his Whitby home. There’s the piece Mr. Dampf dedicated to his daughter after giving birth to his first grand- child. The tension in her face at being pulled in all directions is clearly visible. Another creation was fashioned for an elderly friend looking back on her life. Her youth spent roll- erskating and later adult years at the cottage are carved along the sides of her head as etched in her memory. “Every one I do, when I’m working on them, assume a lot of importance,” says the 79-year- old, currently carving out the likeness of his three-year-old granddaughter Kate. He starts from a photograph -- this one is of the preschooler climbing a tree at the Royal Bo- tanical Gardens in Australia -- then sculpts each project in clay first before committing to wood. “Wood isn’t a very forgiving medium,” Mr. Dampf says, ex- plaining every angle is measured and marked out on the sculpture as a reference. A member of the Brooklin Woodcarvers, the retired uphol- sterer discovered carving as a form of self-expression through his work, which often required rebuilding parts of furniture. It became a passion which eventually led him to teach oth- ers how to carve in the U.S. “Because I work the way I do, whatever I can model, I can carve. I’ve never had to throw anything out because I’ve taken too much off,” says Mr. Dampf, standing in his workshop lined with chisels, gouges and show ribbons. His work is mostly of family and many pieces have already been passed on to relatives as time- less treasures. Each piece takes a couple of hundred hours to com- plete. Mr. Dampf enjoys the informal- ity of the Brooklin Woodcarvers, where carvers of all ages gather every Thursday night from Sep- tember to April at the Brooklin Community Centre on Cassels Road. They socialize, share ideas and just plain share a passion for the art. Most give away their carvings and wood sculptures, Mr. Dampf says. Club president Randy Pater started whittling in front of the campfire as a young scout. He carves from just about anything, including peach pits. “We’re always looking for new members,” he says of the group, which numbers about 35 current- ly. Skills range from master carv- ers like Mr. Dampf to the novice or beginner. Mr. Pater estimates woodcarvers have been meeting regularly in Brooklin for at least two decades. Anyone interested in learning more about the group can e-mail Mr. Pater at gwriderrp@yahoo.ca, or call him at 905-683-2634. New members are also invited to drop in at the Brooklin Com- munity Centre when the group begins meeting again in Septem- ber. Speeding ticket doesn’t stop Norwood band from claiming Bandwarz 2007 crown DURHAM — A Norwood band is the winner of Bandwarz 2007. My Darkest Days triumphed over seven other indie bands in the annual competition, with the finals held Easter weekend in Os- hawa. The band, however, thought luck wasn’t on its side as the members received a $200 speed- ing ticket on their way to the finals. But judges awarded the three-member group top marks for clear sound and catchy tunes. They win $1,000 in cash, more than enough to cover the speed- ing fine, new gear from Steve’s Music in Toronto, rehearsal space for three months at The Rehearsal Factory in Oshawa, a prize package from Alcatraz Skates and a photo package from D.D.P. Studios. “It is a great honour to hold the 2007 Bandwarz cup,” said bass player Brendan McMillan. “We w ill remember everyone who helped us out in the years ahead. There were a lot of great bands and I am sure it was a very dif- ficult decision for the judges to make.” The other bands in the final were Kessel Run, No Repo, Death of Riley, Triple Funkshun, Alora, Pushing Up Daisies (Battalion) and The Bootleg Glory. The final showcase will be shown April 15 at 9 p.m. and April 19 at 8 p.m. on Rogers. You can also see and hear all of the bands in this year’s Bandwarz competition at videodurhamre- gion.com.

Sprinter Anson Henry was named to the Canadian contingent for the 2007 Penn Relays in Philadel- phia, Pennsyl- vania on April 28. The Penn Relays is one of the largest and oldest track and field competi- tions in the U.S., hosted annually since 1895. Henry, 28, who ran for Canada at the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens, is part of Canada’s 4-x-100-metre relay team. He’ll be teamed with Shannon King of Brampton, Justin McLennan of Mis- sissauga, Emanuel Parris of Montreal and Neville Wright of Edmonton. Henry is taking part in two relay camps in Ottawa from April 22 to 26, led by former Olympic gold medallist Glenroy Gilbert. The Pickering sprinter continues to train under famed U.S. track and coach Dan Pfaff, who’s currently an assistant track and field coach at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Ajax-based wrestling club contenders at wrestling nationals in Whitby By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Team Impact Wrestling Club hopes old-fashioned home cooking will help turn silver into gold this weekend. After finishing second in both men’s divisions at the Cadet/Juve- nile National Wrestling Champion- ships a year ago in Edmonton, Team Impact will look to go one better when it co-hosts the 2007 event at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby. Stan Tzogas, Team Impact’s head coach, says holding the tournament here should offer a “huge advantage” to the large number of local com- petitors, mostly because they will be able to enjoy the comforts of home, such as sleeping in their own beds and enjoying home-cooked meals. A lack of travel expenses has also allowed the club to register a much greater num- ber of ath- letes from a year ago, when Team Impact fin- ished second by a mere two points in the Juvenile men’s divi- sion and by only 10 in Cadet. “I’m pretty confident we’ve done everything we can to prepare the athletes,” says Tzogas. “From here on in, it’s up to them... I think if ev- erybody focuses on doing their own very best, we’ll have a good chance.” The locals are expected to make a big splash in the Juvenile (under- 19) men’s division, where five ath- letes are defending national cham- pions, including Paul Rabjohn of Ajax, Randy Pfrimmer of Oshawa and Mike Murray of Enniskillen. Brampton’s Tommy Carroll and Ilya Manukhov of Etobicoke round out that group. “We have five of our kids return- ing as national champions in their respective groups, and they’ve wres- tled really well all year long, so obvi- ously we hope that they’ll perform on their home turf,” says Chris Ste- fopulos, the tournament convener. This weekend will provide the club with an opportunity to show- case itself. “This is the first time we’ve hosted an event of this size in the area, so we’re pretty excited about it,” says Stefopulos. “I’m glad we can show- case our club in the community. We’ve been around for 30 years and the sport of wrestling is not main- stream, so we’re pretty excited about being able to host this event here, so that people do realize that we exist.” There will be about 800 athletes taking part, including some 400 alone from Ontario. Registration and weigh-in will be held Thursday and wrestling gets underway Friday at 9 a.m., with six mats set up on each of Pad 1 and 3. The Cadet and Juvenile gold medal matches will run from 5 until 8 p.m. Saturday on Pad 1. Greco Roman wrestling will be held Sunday from 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m. Visit www.canadianwrestling- championships.ca for more infor- mation.

And, the Knights will get the opportunity to add a second major championship -- the Ontario Hockey Federation Juvenile Championship -- on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre, starting today (Fri- day). The Ajax Minor Hockey Association plays host to the OHF championships this weekend, with three hockey associations sending their top teams to compete for all-Ontario supremacy. The OMHA champion and host Knights are joined by OMHA runners-up the Tecumseh-Shorelines Eagles, the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) champion Scarborough Young Bruins and runners-up Hum- berview Huskies and the Northern Ontario league champion North End Flames. Knights’ head coach Tony O’Brien says the excite- ment of hosting the OHFs has been building among the players and coaching staff for some time. “It’s been a long year, but we’ve been working to- ward this all year. Being the host and being at home, it’s pretty exciting,” he says. O’Brien notes he’s confident his team will be competitive in the championships, but cautions that in the round-robin tournament format, one bad game can hurt a team’s chances of moving on to the playoffs. “In a tournament-style format you can run up against a hot goaltender or run into penalty trouble. It’s a crapshoot. When you’re in a one-game situa- tion it’s definitely more difficult to be victorious.” Of the five competing teams, O’Brien says his Knights are familiar with four, especially the Tecum- seh-Shoreline Eagles, whom the Knights tangled with in the best-of-five OMHA championship series, which took the maximum five games to decide in favour of Ajax. “It was one of those emotional roller-coaster se- ries,” says O’Brien. The only unknown in the tournament, says O’Brien, is the Northern Ontario league champion North End Flames. O’Brien notes playing on home ice should be an advantage for his juvenile squad. “I definitely think it’s an advantage for two rea- sons: No. 1, the crowds will be supportive and the team wants to do well in front of friends and family. No. 2 is the big ice. We’re used to it and it’s definitely an advantage. For the most part, it’s a different game (on the Olympic-size sheet), so it’s a matter of how quickly teams can adapt to the change in size.” The Knights debut at the OHF championships today (Friday) at 11 a.m. against the North End Flames. Ajax plays its second game against the Humberview Huskies at 8:15 p.m. Friday. The Ajax juveniles continue round-robin play on Saturday against the Scarborough Young Bruins at 2:30 p.m. and finish preliminary action against the Te cumseh-Shoreline Eagles at 7:30 p.m. Semifinal games go at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. The championship game is at 5 p.m. NOTES: The opening ceremonies are tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. at the community centre’s Pad 1, prior to the Ajax-Humberview Huskies contest. Ajax resident Kevin Pilon will participate by dropping the puck at the ceremonies. Kevin suffered a terrible injury this year, a broken neck in a high school acci- dent. He is making a significant recovery, although he is still in a wheelchair with limited mobility.

Growth rate in Durham above national average Pickering experiences mild growth; Whitby and Ajax see largest jump in population By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The numbers confirm what everyone suspect- ed: Durham Region is growing by leaps and bounds. Statistics gathered by the 2006 Census show that the region grew by more than 50,000 resi- dents in the past five years. That represents a growth of 10.7 per cent -- almost double the 5.4 per cent Canadian average. “Durham Region is showing some very significant growth,” said Jim McKibbin, a manager with Statistics Canada. He said that Ajax and Whitby saw the largest jump in popu- lation with numbers rising by more than 20 per cent. Oshawa and Pickering experienced only a mild population growth and Brock actually saw a slight de- crease. Uxbridge’s population increase was close to the aver- age for Durham Region at 10.3 per cent and Clarington was only slightly higher at 11.4 per cent. As part of the Greater Gold- en Horseshoe -- an area that stretches along the western end of Lake Ontario and houses 8.1 million people -- Durham Re- gion is among the fastest grow- ing areas in the country. So what does this growth mean for the region? Peter LeBel is the director of community marketing services for the Town of Whitby. With more than 23,000 new resi- dents since 2001, Mr. LeBel says Whitby is one Durham munici- pality that is facing some signifi- cant challenges. “We have worked very hard to manage our growth,” he said, citing investment in library, rec- reation and fire services. “But there is no question our budget is straining with the impact of this growth.” Increased population has led to congestion and early road de- terioration, he said. “A nd it isn’t just Whitby. Dur- ham has also, as a region ex- perienced tremendous growth,” he said. “As a result we need to have continued investment in infrastructure and that needs to come with assistance from the province.” Mr. LeBel says the area’s other big obstacles will be health care, economic development and job growth. “O ne of the key priorities of the mayor and council is to bal- ance the growth in the residen- tial sector with the non-residen- tial,” he added. Patrick Olive is of the same mind. As the region’s commis- sioner of economic develop- ment and tourism, he says the department is working hard to expand Durham’s key sector areas to create more jobs to keep up with the increase in popula- tion. “We are also working to pro- tect our employment lands for future industrial development and taking advantage of the research coming out of UOIT. This research will facilitate the creation of new companies and, essentially, translate to higher skilled jobs,” he said, adding that job growth will ensuring that people living in Durham have the opportunity to work here. Mr. McKibbin says the Census information should be treated as a socio-economic report card for the country. “It allows decision-makers on many different levels -- federal- ly, provincially, and municipally -- to make good and effective decisions about how dollars are spent in communities.” Census results Area 1996 2001 2006 Change ‘96-’01 Change ‘01-’06 Change ‘96-‘06 Durham 458,616 506,901 561,258 +10.5%+10.7%+22.4% Ajax 64,430 73,753 90,167 +14.5%+22.3%+39.9% Brock 11,705 12,110 11,979 +3.5%-1.1%+2.3% Clarington 60,615 69,834 77,820 +15.2%+11.4%+28.4% Oshawa 134,364 139,051 141,590 +3.5%+1.8%+5.4% Pickering 78,989 87,139 87,838 +10.3%+0.8%+11.2% Scugog 18,837 20,173 21,439 +7.1%+6.3%+13.8% Uxbridge 15,882 17,377 19,169 +9.4%+10.3%+20.7% Whitby 73,794 87,413 111,184 18.5%27.2%+50.6% Ontario 10,753,573 11,410,046 12,160,282 6.1%+6.6%+17.3% Canada 28,846,761 30,007,094 31,612,897 4.0%+5.4%+9.6% Courtesy Statistics Canada We Welcome All Major Fleet Cards PICKERING ONLY 1735 Pickering Parkway Mon-Fri 7:30-8 • Sat 7:30-6 • Sun 9-6 Pickering • 905-686-2309 • Our licensed, trained technicians use the latest, computerized equipment to help extend the tread life of your tires. • They will inspect all key components, measure all four wheels and adjust your front caster, camber and toe as required. • Installation of rear-wheel shims and adjustments extra, if required.

The answer is yes. At Mortgage Intelligence, Canada’s fi rst-time homebuyers have access to a variety of mortgage products designed just for them. Homebuyers can apply for mortgages that require as little as fi ve per cent down or allow them to borrow seven per cent more than the value of the home. This provides additional funds to cover a fee for the mortgage and three per cent cash back that can help pay for moving costs, new appliances, legal fees or movers. More information is available online at (www.mortgageintelligence.ca) or by calling 1-800-268-8815.

The team opened its training camp on Thursday at the Village Arena in Ajax, with camp con- tinuing through this weekend at the Ajax Community Centre. Rock owner Rob Roche notes the team is expecting 25 to 30 hopefuls at the training camp, which will be presided over by head coach and general manager Paul St. John, who’s back behind the bench for another season. Many of the players expected to populate the opening night ros- ter, however, are still competing in the National Lacrosse League. “We’ll be short a few of the regulars, but we’re hopeful that we’ll have a good turnout of ju- nior players. We’ll also have ju- nior players and draft picks from the Brampton Excelsiors (Major Series lacrosse), who we’ve af- filiated with for the entire season,” says Roche.
