Walking the talk for MS DURHAM — Hundreds of residents stepped up to help end multiple sclerosis. On April 15, an estimated 550 people participated in the Super Cities Walk for MS in Ajax and Pickering, raising more than $57,000. Proceeds go towards MS research and services. “All of those who walked for a cure are making a significant difference in the lives of people with multiple sclerosis,” said Yves Savoie, president and chief execu- tive officer of the MS Society of Canada, “With their help, we will end MS.” MS is the most common dis- ease of the central nervous system among young adults in the country, causing vision and speech prob- lems, extreme fatigue, lack of bal- ance and co-ordination and even paralysis. For more information about MS and the MS Society of Canada call 416-922-6065 or 1-800-268-7582 or visit www.mssociety.ca.

When a Durham Region delega- tion headed to Europe last May to investigate waste management tech- nologies, Oshawa Regional Council- lor Brian Nicholson questioned the one-week trip, how it came to be ap- proved, where it was represented in the budget and how elected officials who attended were chosen. Last year, the Region’s com- missioner of finance, Jim Clapp, said no rules were bro- ken. It cost about $6,000 a head for the delega- tion of eight. But, when the subject of a second trip to Europe came up at the April 25 works committee meeting, Coun. Nicholson again questioned the trip and how it came to be approved. “If this was such a defensible pro- cess why wasn’t there a report on it?” he asked. “Why wasn’t it a line item in the budget? You are making us all look bad in government.” The Region’s works commissioner, Cliff Curtis, explained a second trip is being planned. The details are yet to be worked out, but they are thinking about visit- ing Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Italy at the beginning of July. He said it may be slightly more expen- sive because of the time of the year and because they will be doing more travelling, but it will be in the same order of magnitude. “We have some new members on works committee and we’ve also got some politicians and senior staff from the host community that we wanted to get over to Europe to take a look at the technology and make sure it is something they could be comfortable with,” Mr. Curtis said. The Region is also considering in- viting some representatives from the ministries of the environment and energy. However, the way the trip came out, Coun. Nicholson said, is a con- cern because he didn’t see it listed in the budget. “I don’t believe this committee has the authority to do this,” he said. “We have to ask council’s permission to expend funds. All I am suggesting to you is that we are not immune to the process.” Councillor questions need for European trip Rick Johnson ✦ See NO, Page A4 2006 Civic Awards handed out at City Hall By Kristen Calis k calis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — John Whelan was driving home one late November evening in 2006 when he saw some young men attacking a neighbour with a baseball bat. He quickly shone his headlights on them and said he’d called the police, and they quickly fled the scene. He said he was happy to be at the right place at the right time. “It was surreal,” he said. “You don’t really expect to see things like that. But, it’s one of those things that does happen and I didn’t think a lot about it.” He said he thought about it after- ward and realized the value of good neighbours and people helping others out. Mr. Whelan was given the brav- ery/heroism award, and Mayor Dave Ryan said there is no doubt the in- juries would have been more severe if Mr. Whelan hadn’t intervened. Mr. Whelan was among Pickering heroes, volunteers and artists awarded 2006 Pickering Civic Awards on April 30 at City Hall. The master of ceremonies was Mayor Ryan and City councillors handed out the awards. The other bravery/heroism award went to Cory MacLean, a 13-year-old who saved his friend, David Collins, after he fell through ice on their way to play pick-up hockey. Jo-Ann Kerr was given an individual volunteer award. She is a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at Royal Cana- dian Legion Branch 606, and helped bring the Easter Parade to Pickering. She’s also strongly involved in find- ing rental accommodations for seniors and incorporated a program where Air Cadets signed up to complete chores for seniors. “They’re not in a heap as seniors,” she said. “They’re individual people that have already contributed to the community and now they just need a little bit of a hand. That’s all they need.” More individual volunteer awards went to: Thelma Bamber, who collects 3,500 gifts each year, distributing them to nursing homes and single mothers; Leslie John Hubbard, a Beaver leader for 20 years, sharing his love of nature with the kids, taking part in events such as a huge sleep over at Rogers Centre in Toronto; and Carol Sutton, who volunteers for such groups as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and the May- or’s Gala, which has raised money for the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital. Mu rray Jones, a lifelong farmer, won the lifetime achievement award for his leadership in north Pickering. He’s played catcher for several champion- ship fastball teams, and was inducted into the player category at the Cana- dian Adult Recreational Hockey As- sociation Hall of Fame in 2001. He is an active member of the Mount Zion Community Centre, served on the Claremont Farmers’ Co-op board of directors, and received a Certificate of Merit from the minister of agriculture in 1984. “I feel honoured,” he said. “I don’t think I deserve it. When they put the application in, I guess I did more than I thought I did.” Gary Watters, current president of the Pickering Hockey Association, won an amateur sports award for his 12- year involvement with the organiza- tion. He’s also spearheaded a hockey AJ Groen / News Advertiser photo Murray Jones was awarded the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ at the Pickering 2006 Civic Awards ceremony held at Pickering City Hall Monday night.

PAGE A2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ May 2, 2007A/P Bandit shows no remorse: judge By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com AJAX — Armed robberies in which young men target defenceless clerks are becoming all too common in Durham Region, a judge said in sending a man to prison for a heist an at Ajax store Friday. “They continue to happen,” Superior Court Justice David Salmers said of an on- going spate of armed robberies in handing down sentence to 22-year-old Evol Robin- son of Toronto. The judge sentenced Mr. Robinson, who was found guilty of armed robbery and weapons charges as well as possession of stolen property, to five and a half years in prison, explaining the hefty term is neces- sary to protect the public from a man who has yet to express remorse for his crime or empathy for the victims. “He remains likely to reoffend if he is re- leased now or soon,” Justice Salmers said. Mr. Robinson admitted he was one of three young men who walked into a 7-11 store at Harwood Avenue and Rossland Road around 2 a.m. on Jan. 11, 2005, with the intention of robbing it, but testified he didn’t know one of his accomplices had a loaded handgun. Two clerks working the graveyard shift that night testified they had the gun held to their heads as the bandits stole cigarettes, cash and lottery tickets and demanded the workers open a safe -- something they weren’t able to do. The trio were busted when Durham cops pulled them over a few blocks from the scene of the robbery. In rendering their verdict a month ago jurors indicated they didn’t believe Mr. Robinson’s claims he didn’t know about the gun. Mr. Robinson now awaits trial on a charge of first-degree murder in the 2004 slaying of a young man in Brampton.

The problem, ac- cording to residents and Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson, is the hun- dreds of high school students using it each day. Twigg residents have signed a peti- tion and e-mailed councillors, seeking to have the walkway closed. Local residents didn’t want their names used in a story on the walk- way for fear of retaliation from the students, but complaints range from blocking traffic to intimidation by the students to vandalism. The walkway cuts through a wooded area that backs on homes on Twigg, Ingold Lane and Trowell Lane. “In the end, in my mind, the walk- way has to be closed. It’s the most serious problem I’ve seen with a walk- way in my 20 years on council,” noted Coun. Dickson. “It’s just kids just going home. They walk down the middle of the road,” he states. “It’s just the volume.” There’s no problem with most of the students, he notes. “One per cent can give you some grief.” “This is a unique situation,” Coun. Dickson says, because of the two large schools nearby. “It’s the second largest secondary school in Canada. It’s a rare set of circumstances. Even school trustees say it was a mistake to build it that size with that volume,” Coun. Dickson adds. “The police want it closed, the residents want it closed, the Regional councillor wants it closed, I want it closed. It’s no good putting an extra patrol on in the evening. It’s a problem one hour a day,” Coun. Dickson states. To wn staff was working on a report dealing with the walkway, but it was put on hold because a company was putting forward a development ap- plication for land next to the existing plaza. Coun. Dickson admits closing the walkway has been put on hold until the development application is dealt with. However, he adds, “if it’s delayed any significant time, it’s my recom- mendation to proceed and close the walkway.” During a recent meeting of Ajax council’s general government commit- tee, Durham Regional Police Inspector Jim Douglass said, “the walkway to Twigg is like a funnel. There’s no ques- tion that walkway merges and then they go down en masse. We’ve had some confrontations.” Suggestions the police have received include closing the walkway or im- proving the lighting. “Lighting won’t help in the daytime,” the inspector noted. “It’s a difficult, difficult situation.” About 3,600 students come out of the two schools at the same time and “most don’t cause a problem.” When the students walk in groups of 20 to 30, it can be “intimidating,” he said. There’s an “intimidation” factor with “the sheer number of young people,” he stated. Some of the youths are “antagonis- tic. They won’t move for cars.” When the youths are in the walkway, “there’s no eyes on them,” he said. “It would be easier if it was a night- time problem. You could put in light- ing. “You can clear back brush. That walkway is different than other walk- ways. The sheer number of young peo- ple. It’s a funnel. If we can encourage them to use Harwood, the residents might like that.” pickeringtowncentre.com MALL-WIDE JOB FAIR Fr iday, May 4th & Saturday, May 5th Now Hi r ing at 70 stores!

Alterations planned to education centre DURHAM — Plans for a new trustee room at the Catholic education centre are getting a bit bigger. Instead of a seven-foot by 14-foot room for trustees included in altera- tion plans for the Catholic education centre, new architect drawings show a larger, seven-by-16-foot space. The room will accommodate two workstations, overhead bins and two chairs, as well as a small table and two chairs. The changes were made following previous complaints from trustees that their current room is too small, as was the seven-foot by 14-foot space pro- posed. According to a staff report, the room’s configuration is restricted to a seven-foot width, and the architect indicated making it longer than 16-feet will create a tunnel effect. The project would be included in the estimated $19,500 cost for interior modifications to the senior adminis- tration wing. Trustees received the report and filed it as information during the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board’s April 23 meeting. Catholic school trustee room is getting bigger Fa milies invited to two-day festival He said the works commit- tee isn’t an autonomous body and he felt the process of tak- ing trips to investigate waste technology was being done behind closed doors. Further- more, Coun. Nicholson said the trip is skewed towards one technology. “Minds are already made up,” Coun. Nicholson said. “If we are truly an investigative body then we should consider other options.” Coun. Nicholson was alone in his line of questioning, which turned into a heated debate about the merits of this type of educational trip. “I take exception to some- one saying we’ve slighted the public,” Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson said. “The pub- lic retains us to make these types of decisions for them.” He went on to say he doesn’t want something built in his community or his neighbour’s community that he hasn’t seen and tested. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson agreed it is nec- essary for councillors to see and smell the technology for themselves. “Before anyone makes a de- cision on this they are going to be well informed,” Mr. An- derson said adding the trip will undergo the same process as any other and staff would come back with a report on it. Works committee chair- man Charlie Trim said the planning of the trip is still in its early stages and it was in no way being done behind closed doors. “The process will be clear and it will follow through the system,” Coun. Trim said. “When all of the detail is worked out they will come back to this commit- tee.” Coun. Nicholson insisted there needs to be a report on the reasons for the trip as well as on its merit, cost and who participates. “If it is defensible then there is nothing to be lost by taking it to council,” Coun. Nichol- son said. Mr. Curtis said the funding for the trip was approved in a line item in the budget. “This study and these con- sultants were all approved by council in the budget,” he said. player development program that Mayor Ryan noted other associations seek to emulate. “I see that it’s a way to keep kids involved in an activity that will better their lives, help them meet other kids, get better skills working together as a team and overall, making them better human beings,” he said. He said the award is hum- bling because he doesn’t do it for recognition, but to lend a helping hand. Jordan Webb, a dedicated athlete at Pine Ridge Second- ary School, got the other ama- teur sports award for two years of dedication to the basketball and soccer teams. He currently plays soccer for the East York Comets and was named athlete of the year in 2006 at his high school. Annette O’Connor accepted the service group award on be- half of the Kinsmen and Ki- nette Club of Pickering, which has provided service to the community and various chari- ties for the past 40 years. “I think this was mostly for the Santa Claus parade because it was the biggest and the best we’ve ever had last year,” she said. When Wyatt Williams, a Grade 9 student, learned a friend was diagnosed with bone cancer a couple of years ago, he contacted the Canadian Cancer Society to see what he could do. He and other Westcreek Public School students raised $10,300 through the first Relay for Life held in Durham, which is an overnight relay event of run- ning or walking. He was given a youth volunteer award for orga- nizing it. “We had over 600 people come out to the event,” he said. “We remembered everyone who was lost, who is still fight- ing cancer.” Wyatt’s friend was told she was cancer-free the day of the event. “Next year we hope to do it again at Dunbarton,” he said. Jessica Weick, a Pine Ridge Secondary School student, was given the other youth volunteer award for volunteering as camp councillor at Circle Square Ranch in Brantford, all while being editor of her high school year book, dancing, working part-time and maintaining honours grades. The Pickering Perennials - Seniors Chorus, a group of 28 singers and dancers aged 60 to 85, was given a commu- nity group award. They have been performing at nursing homes and church fundraisers throughout Pickering and Ajax. Cathy Schnippering and Peggy Lynn accepted the award. “A lot of people we perform for cannot get out,” Ms. Lynn said. “But you can tell even though they’re not very mobile, they’re enjoying the music.” The other community group recipient was 856 Pickering Kinsmen Squadron - Royal Canadian Air Cadets for win- ning the Dr. George Westman trophy for top squadron in On- tario. Special citation awards were given to: Dr. Phillip (Rocky) Simmons, president, CEO, di- rector and chairman of Eco- Te c Inc., a water purification and chemical recovery sys- tem for industrial operations used in 50 countries; and the Pickering Athletic Centre Inc., which trains more than 700 recreational and 80 competi- tive gymnasts. In June, athletes will represent Pickering in Brit- ish Columbia. The award was accepted by head coach and co-owner Andrew Taylor and Laurie Large. The youth leadership award went to: Dunbarton High School student Kunal Karki, for serving as president of the Dunbarton chapter of the Dis- tributive Education Club of America, founder and presi- dent of the Dunbarton Invest- ments Club, among many other achievements; and Aneil Ram- narain, an environmentalist at Pine Ridge Secondary School who mobilized an anti-litter campaign and visited elemen- tary schools, encouraging them to become environmentally aware. The arts award went to the Stepping in Tyme Dance So- ciety, the Pickering Museum Village’s heritage dance soci- ety, which researches, practises and interprets dance between 1800 and the 1870s. The cultural diversity award recipients are: Shashi Bhatia, who spearheaded groups such as the Arts Without Borders Committee and the Indo-Ca- nadian Cultural Association; and Marie-Louise Thomas, an Altona Forest Public School teacher. She’s worked on a multicultural Bingo game and helped organize a talent show in recognition of Eid and Divali, among others. The urban design award went to: Brookfield Homes (Ontario) Limited and Flana- gan, Beresford and Patteson Architects for their Watermark development, comprised of 132 freehold townhouses at Finch Av enue and Kingston Road. Bruno’s Meat and Deli won the local business award for sponsoring boys’ hockey and girls’ soccer teams and its in- volvement with local Shriners’ clubs. The environmental awards went to: Douglas Lockrey, who sits on the executive of the Al- tona Forest Stewardship Com- mittee and served as president of the Pickering Naturalists for seven years; and Devi Mandir for environmental contribu- tions such as educating people on reducing greenhouse gases through the Greening of Sacred Spaces program, and maximiz- ing the efficiency of all operat- ing equipment. The access award for dis- ability issues went to Durham Regional Police - Children’s Games for running a friendly, athletic competition for physi- cally-disabled children in Dur- ham since 1986.

Durham looking for passionate people to join committee By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Scarcely a Regional council or committee meeting pass- es without discussion turning to the environment. With that in mind, the Region has headed down the road to establishing a round table on cli- mate change. “All of our lines of business, direct- ly or indirectly, impacts the climate and the environment we operate in,” said Alex Georgieff, the Region’s commissioner of planning. “I think there’s a commitment around coun- cil table... I know around the depart- ment heads’ table there is a growing interest.” The advisory group would assist council in establishing direction for measures that both mitigate and adapt to climate change. Mr. Georgieff said he sees the ac- tivities of the committee as three- fold: self-education, looking at the Region as corporation and service provider, and determining how to address climate change. “How do we, in terms of best prac- tices, reduce climate change and make sure we position ourselves to deal with climate change because it is not going to turn off,” Mr. Georgieff said. “It is going to be an evolutionary process to get us back to stasis.” A move to a more environmen- tally friendly way of operating makes good business sense, Mr. Georgieff said. “It will help us as a corporation in best practices and in engaging the public,” he explained. At it’s April 18 meeting, council gave the planning department the go ahead to hammer out detailed terms of reference for the climate change round table and start searching for serious people who want to join. The advisory group would include one member from each of the Re- gion’s standing committees, an MP and an MPP representing Durham and who is a member of the govern- ing party, the regional chairman and six key representatives from local corporations, institutions and the general public. “It will be a nice mix of municipal decision-makers as well as commu- nity leaders,” Mr. Georgieff said. “It certainly will be interesting to watch this as it evolves,” The Region is looking for passion- ate people with different talents and resources to come to the table, he said. Lori Riviere, a Regional project planner, is working on the group’s terms of reference, including bud- getary considerations. The job fits in well with her roll as the staff liaison to the Durham Envi- ronmental Advisory Committee. “I think it is a wonderful step the Region is taking,” she said. “There are a lot of things that we do right now because it is good business practice, but we don’t always com- municate the environmental benefit. By doing this we will be looking at it in a more holistic manner.” One of the first steps the roundta- ble will take is to join the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Partners for Climate Protection Pro- gram. More than 135 communities have joined the FCM program, which is committed to reducing greenhouse gases and acting on climate change. The FCM estimates that by 2012, communities could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 to 50 metric tonnes from municipal operations and community-wide initiatives. It is based on a five-milestone frame- work: greenhouse inventory, emis- sions-reduction strategy, develop a local action plan, implement the plan and monitor the progress, and report the results. Ta king a greenhouse inventory, Ms. Riviere said, will be a huge un- dertaking, but is crucial to setting a benchmark for the group to work from. “It will involve looking at fleet, plants, and different buildings,” he said. “It will be a very involved process and it definitely will be a huge un- dertaking for our works department because a lot of information will actually come from them.” 416 869 3200 1 888 GET ON GO (438 6646) TTY 1 800 387 3652 Pour plus de renseignements, veuillez composer les numéros ci-dessus.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Big earners don’t relate to real-world wages To the editor: Re: Earning 100K today isn’t what it used to be in 1996, April 11. According to UOIT finance professor Raymond Cox, “real wages” have increased by 48 per cent since 1996 and those public sector employees earn- ing over $100,000 a year are making an adequate living con- sidering they are on the low end of the pay scale. He also states people don’t enter the public sector to be- come millionaires. It is just my humble opinion however I think Dr. Cox has been languishing in the cocoon of academia for far too long. People in the “real world” have not had a 48 per cent wage in- crease since 1996 -- at least none of the hard-working people I know who are the backbone of our country and economy. Also I am sure that if you asked any average Grade 12 stu- dent carrying at least a C aver- age if it would be possible in time to accumulate $1 million I am certain the answer would be yes! After I finished reading the article I was left wondering what motivated Dr. Cox to de- fend the bloated wages of our vastly bloated civil bureaucra- cy. I don’t need a PhD in eco- nomics to throw around gener- alizations like our good doctor but I guess it sure helps. Tim Morrison Bowmanville Mayor Ryan and supporting councillors ‘lack business acumen’ To the editor: Councillor Jennifer O’Connell’s lone opposition to the recent, pro-residential, growth-predicated budget shows an inspiring depth of character. Mayor Ryan and his coun- cil followers’ claim residential growth is needed to finance op- erating costs lacks credibility. The statistics support Coun. O’Connell. If lack of growth is the real culprit, how’s Toronto doing at O.8 per cent population growth? One-hundred and fifty-six per cent higher property taxes in Pickering versus Toronto in 2006. Was the pre-budget growth spin the justification for an- other run at the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve or fast- tracking the development of Seaton and the airport lands? None of these developments will generate the long-time in- come the City needs. Furthermore, with Seaton being placed on one of the last, fully intact, cold-water water- sheds in the GTA, it is environ- mentally repugnant. Maybe there’s a simpler rea- son for Pickering’s predica- ment: Mayor Ryan and his council followers just lack the business acumen for the job at hand. For Mayor Ryan to refer to a tax increase of 8.78 per cent as “tight and tough,” when the Bank of Canada’s core inflation target is 2.4 per cent, lacks in- tegrity. New capitalism calls for tax- ing things less that we want more of, like income, and tax- ing things more we want less of, like carbon. How is more urban sprawl, an airport and runty support business going to fare? Not good. In 100 years people will still need to breath and eat safe, secure local produce. If Mayor Ryan and his coun- cil followers are able to trade Pickering’s competitive advan- tage treasure away to meet their short-term mismanagement, it will be a sad day. Thank you Coun. O’Connell for standing strong.

I was out in the yard this past weekend, raking, clean- ing up and like every other liv- ing thing around me, feeling re-born in that glorious spring sunshine, when I came across a curious ruin. Overrun by grass, rotting leaves and fallen twigs, partially hidden underneath the canoe, were wooden timbers framing a square in the earth. I knelt down, brushed away some of the debris and realized with some astonishment that it was, or at least had been, a sand- box. I knew, of course, that we had a sandbox. I had built it all those years ago. I’d simply been unaware that time was speeding by so quickly. What had once been the focus of the backyard, a hive of truck driv- ing, road paving, city building activity, was now an overgrown, forgotten patch of grass. I stood there staring at it for a while, feeling myself drift- ing back in time and then I did something that I knew I shouldn’t have done. But I can never stop myself on these oc- casions. I sat down and began to dig into the past. Like Gettysburg or Vimy or the Plains of Abraham, any- place, really, where history has been carved in broad strokes, one doesn’t have to go far below the surface of a sandbox before treasures start showing up. In no time I had a tiny, rusted armada of fire trucks, diggers and assorted dinky toys laid out on the grass beside me. There were undoubtedly more vehi- cles resting in the strata further down, but I decided further desecration might incur the wrath of the Tonka Gods. Besides, these few items had more than enough magic to transport me back to a very special time. All stages of child- rearing have their blessings but I think, if pressed, most parents would agree that the sandbox era is a particularly wonderful period for adult and child. When I wasn’t in there with them, I remember clearly sit- ting not far away, ostensibly reading a book, but unable to tear my gaze away from the earnest little bodies squatting like diapered Brahmins in and around the sand pile. So in- volved, so completely “present” were they in their make-believe world that the air above their heads fairly shimmered with thought. Time stands still for young children when they are at play. I think that’s the reason we often have to call them two and three times in for lunch, if they hear us at all. As adults such moments of timelessness, I call them “moments with God,” are rarer and rarer. I usu- ally get them when I’m writ- ing something I’m completely lost in or when I’m idly pad- dling my canoe in some par- ticularly beautiful place. When something finally does come along to break the reverie in these moments, one realizes, with shock, that perhaps hours have passed unnoticed. This is sandbox time. Which, I guess, is not really time at all but pure enchantment. So, could I be blamed for tak- ing a handful of those sandy, three-wheeled talismans out of their tombs and up to the house? I told myself I only wanted a few keepsakes of when the boys were little, but who’s kidding who? I’m hoping that like Aladdin, if I hang onto these long enough or rub them in just the right way, a little of that magic might come my way again.

Neil Crone enter laughing Wa t er survival an important lesson children must learn Before the kids jump into the pool or lake this summer, make sure they know how to be safe E very once in a while a program comes along that makes so much sense you wonder why it wasn’t offered several years ago. Swim to Survive, which is offered free to Grade 3 students throughout Durham, is once such program. Offered by the Durham District School Board in partnership with area municipalities and the Durham Family YMCA, the program teaches children the basics about how to survive near water. It’s not just a swimming lesson, it’s a survival lesson. Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 14. Approximately 60 children under 14 drown in Canada each year with another 140 having to be hospitalized in near-drowning occurrences. The program will involve more than 5,000 Grade 3 students in the Durham District School Board. This age group is particularly in danger because many youngsters over-estimate their own swimming ability or sometimes feel pressure from friends to take a dare. Every year we hear about a youngster who dies needlessly at a cottage or backyard pool. For even the most diligent parent, such a tragedy can happen in the blink of an eye. Former Olympian Barbara Underhill, who promotes the program, lost her infant daughter Stephanie 13 years ago when she drowned in the family’s backyard pool. Ms. Underhill has donated $100,000 from her Stephanie Gaetz KEEPSAFE Founda- tion to the Swim to Survive School Grant Program. She is to be commended for trying to help ensure other parents don’t lose a child to such a tragedy. We teach our kids about fire safety and bike safety but some- times overlook the dangers pools, streams and lakes pose to children. The Swim to Survive program is a valuable tool that should continue and expand into the future.

PAGE A7 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ May 2, 2007 P PICKERING — A Pickering couple face numerous charges after a wild chase that began when police tried to stop a car early Friday. The driver of the vehicle -- which turned out to be stolen -- tore through streets at speeds over 160 km/h and sped through private lots in an at- tempt to evade police, then ran off on foot after being trapped on a dead-end street with cops closing in, Durham police said. The drama began just after mid- night Friday when officers on patrol attempted to stop a car with significant damage to the driver’s side near Hwy. 401 and Brock Road. The driver sped off with police in pursuit to Kingston Road, where it’s estimated speeds reached 160 km/h. The driver of the car made a number of evasive moves and ran a stop sign at full speed during the chase, which came to a halt when the vehicle wound up on a dead-end street near Pine Ridge High School, police said. The driver ran off on foot; officers converging on the scene took a female passenger into custody. As the search for the driver contin- ued officers with the canine unit were called in and the police helicopter hovered overhead. Eventually a suspect was found hid- ing under a group of fallen cedar trees in a swamp near a ravine. Michael Jerome Rowe, 37, and Nancy Rowe, 42, both of Kingston Road in Pickering, were charged with theft and possession of stolen property, as well as possession of crack cocaine. Michael Rowe also faces charges of dangerous driving and flight from police, impaired operation, driving without a licence and forcible confine- ment. Both were held for a bail hearing.

I had 17 points, which is pretty good,” says the Pine Ridge Secondary school student, the lone Pumas representative. Alexander helped his Team Red all- stars pull away from Team Blue in the final min- utes en route to an 84-77 victory in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ boys’ basketball all-star game. Played at Durham College in Os- hawa on Monday night, the evening of hoops also featured the ‘AAA’/’AA’ all-star contest, as well as a three-point shooting competition and the ever- popular slam dunk event. The evening drew a good crowd to the Durham Col- lege Athletic Centre. The LOSSA and OFSAA ‘AAAA’ champion Pickering High School Tro- jans, as expected, placed the most all- stars in the ‘AAAA’ game, with five players, although all Durham Region secondary schools were represented. The Grade 12 Pine Ridge student notes he was glad to receive the oppor- tunity to play among the elite senior basketball players in the region. “It was fun. There were a lot of good players here. I liked everything about the all-star game,” says Alexander. “I hope to come back next year.” Alexander mentioned, however, he expected a less competitive game; it was anything but. “I was surprised. I thought it would be laid back, but everyone competed hard,” he says. The ‘AAAA’ all-star contest also found 32-year Pickering High School basketball coach Ron Parfitt on the bench along with co-coach David Jo- seph for Team Red. Parfitt, who’s retiring from coaching and teaching in June, notes candidly the chance to coach son, Chris, a se- nior player with Whitby’s Sinclair Sec- ondary School Celtics, drew him back to the bench for the all-star contest. “My son played, that was one reason I decided to coach; I hadn’t done it in a couple of years,” says Parfitt. Par fitt, too, was impressed with the intensity and up tempo play on dis- play. “We moved the ball pretty well and our defence was fairly good,” he opined. “The game had good intensity all the way around. We wanted to run and play decent defence. We wanted to run a second guy (defender) at Devoe (Joseph) because he wanted to take over the game. Chris (Parfitt) got to a lot of rebounds.” Par fitt noted he told his players to concentrate on the skill set they dis- played with their respective teams during the season. “Everyone did the stuff they should be doing. If you’re not a shooter then don’t shoot. If you’re going to drive, drive. I told them not to do the things they’re not supposed to do -- do what got you here.” Mike Gordensky, event organizer and coach of Team Blue in the ‘AAAA’ all-star game, says players in both games showcased their skills. “All of them wanted to get their shots off and make the extra pass,” says Gor- densky, the senior boys’ basketball coach at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. “I actually thought in the ‘AA’ game they were moving the ball really well. But, it’s an all- star game, everyone likes to try a little razzle dazzle, try to dunk the ball. You can’t complain about the effort, they all worked hard.” Pickering High’s Harouna Mutombo, the game’s most valuable player, led Te am Red with 23 points, followed by Alexander with 17, Sinclair’s Jermel Pierre with 15 and Pickering High’s Cory Joseph with 11. Devoe Joseph, also of Pickering High, counted a game-high 26 points for Team Blue. Dunbarton’s Jovain Wilson had 19 and Pickering High’s Justin Wiltshire added 10. In the ‘AAA’/’AA’ all-star contest, Te am Red shaded Team Blue 62-60. Luke Charysz of Courtice Second- ary School led the Red team with 16 points, followed by Tristan Stern from Whitby’s Donald A. Wilson with 15. For the Blue team, Matt Rafuse of Oshawa’s Central Collegiate had 16 and Mike Tomchick, also of Central, with 15. Rafuse also claimed the three-point shooting title, hitting for 16 points in the second round to claim victory over 20 other participants. Meanwhile, in the slam dunk con- test, J. Clarke Richardson’s Justin Dar- lington wrested the crown away from defending champion Justin Wiltshire of Pickering High School. Demaine Nelson of Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School finished third.

Oh, so close for Pickering sailor Luttmer 14th in France, three points shy of qualifying for medal race PICKERING — Pickering’s Bernard Luttmer wanted a top-10 finish at the prestigious French Olympic Week in the Laser Sailing class in Hyeres, France from April 20 to 27. And, he near- ly pulled it off. As it was, the Pickering Olympian fin- ished 14th at the Grade 1 event (second most presti- gious to the Wo rld Champi- onships), which attracts top sail- ors from across the globe. Unfortunately, Luttmer missed qualifying for the medal race on the last day — the top-10 competitors compete in a short race for the med- als. Bernard was just three points away from making the top 10. “My goal for this event was to be in the top 10. I was disappointed that I did not make the final medal race, but my performance on the whole was good,” said Luttmer. The French Olympic week is the most prestigious Olympic sailing re- gatta in Europe. The next sailing regatta for Lutt- mer is the Portuguese Nationals next week. Bernard Luttmer Brooklin scores four straight goals to down Ajax-Pickering 7-5 By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The bad blood is start- ing to flow again between the Ajax- Pickering Rock and the Brooklin Mer- chants senior ‘B’ lacrosse teams. The rivals met for Round 1 in Brooklin on Sunday afternoon. And, in a predict- ably physical affair with plenty of penal- ties to go around, the host Merchants pulled away in the third period en route to a 7-5 victory in their home and sea- son opener in front of a good crowd at the Luther Vipond Memorial Arena. The Merchants showed good poise throughout the game, especially in the second period, as the Rock rallied from a two-goal first-period deficit to tie the game at 3-3 with 11:53 to go on a goal by Mike Daley. The Rock took a 4-3 lead with 7:37 remaining on a power-player marker by Jaime Lumsden while the Merchants served a bench minor. Brooklin tightened up defensively through the remainder of the second while also stepping it up at the offensive end, scoring two goals late in the sec- ond to tie it and eventually take a 5-4 at the end of the second. The Merchants continued their strong play in the third, striking for two more goals to sew up the victory. The Rock’s Mark Craig netted his second of the game with 1:06 remaining to end the scoring. For the Merchants, says head coach Steve McCarthy, it was all about bottling up the Rock’s main offensive threats, namely Craig and Tony Henderson, added to the Rock’s roster on Friday. Craig finished with four points (two goals, two assists), but Henderson was held to one assist. “We knew with the loss of Jim Velt- man, who’s obviously been a key con- tributor on offence over the past three seasons, that they would have to rely on other guys. We keyed on Craig and Henderson and tried to limit their ef- fectiveness on offence,” says McCar- thy. But, mostly, Brooklin received a qual- ity effort from starting netminder Scott Wylie to pull them through. “Wylie was no doubt our best player,” noted McCarthy in his post-game com- ments. “He covered up for our miscues, especially in the second period.” Rock head coach Paul St. John gave full credit to the Merchants, but grudg- ingly so. He noted the Merchants were far hungrier for victory than the Rock, which was missing five key players -- Joe Rosa, Pat Van Hooser, Joel Johnson, Chris Parkin and Todd Hollinshead -- for Sunday’s game. “Brooklin played really well,” says St. John. “They’re a better team than they were last year and they proved it today. They have better and quicker guys. They have a good team and a good goaltender in Scott Wylie. Mike (Miron, the Rock’s starting goalie) played really well, but their goaltender won it tonight.” St. John notes a couple of bad goals, including the game-winning marker by Sean Holmes that appeared to hit the crossbar, but didn’t enter the Ajax- Pickering net, and another, off a shot by Merchants’ captain Brad Reed from the Brooklin end that skipped past a surprised Miron, went a long way to deciding the Rock’s fate. Moreover, St. John says the frustra- tion level was high on the Rock bench, mainly due to some questionable tac- tics from the Brooklin squad. “They want to be dirty, which is frus- trating,” says St. John. “They’ve got to come to our rink two times this year. We were getting frustrated, guys were getting whacked and speared. And they shot the ball with five seconds left in a game they had won. That showed a lack of class.” McCarthy notes when the Rock and Merchants hook up on the floor, hard- nosed lacrosse is generally the result. “It’s always fun to play them and it’s always fun to come out on the winning side. Paul (St. John) and I played on a team together in the early 2000s and we certainly like to compete against one another. We have bragging rights for now.” The Rock began senior ‘B’ league play at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night, defeating the defending league and Canadian champion Wel- lington Aces 9-4. Henderson held the hot hand with a six-point night, scoring four goals and adding two assists.

Amanda Iozzo a musical talent on the rise By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX — With skill seem- ingly beyond her 15 years, Amanda Iozzo strums her guitar and sings ‘L.A.’ Even more impressive is that the Ajax girl wrote the song herself, displaying fine vocals and a mature songwriting ability. Amanda was one of eight singer/songwriters cho- sen to take part in Songs Revealed 2007, a music competition put on by Dur- ham College Music Busi- ness Management program students on April 13. She didn’t win, but making the final cut was reward enough for Amanda. “It was actually an amaz- ing experience because I got to share my music and share it with a lot of people,” she says. “It was great and it was very shocking because I didn’t expect to be chosen because I’m younger and I was competing against people much older.” The April 13 contest was for people aged 15 to 30 years, so Amanda barely met the qualifications. There were perhaps 100 people in the audience, in- cluding a panel of music in- dustry judges, but Amanda shook off the mild case of nerves she had as “natural” given the occasion. It wasn’t her first time on a big stage, though. Aman- da in 2004 competed in the Junior Rising Star competi- tion at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition, making it all the way to the final 20 competitors in the Solo Vo cal category. The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School student is a mem- ber of the Songwriters’ As- sociation of Canada. Her musical life began singing along to her favou- rite cartoons on TV. She also enjoyed listening to her parents’ Pop and Clas- sic Rock CDs, and her dad, Mike Iozzo, who plays gui- tar, encouraged her to sing to accompany him. She’s a fan of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Closer to the present day, Amanda listens to Mi- chelle Branch, The Strokes and Sam Roberts. While she plays and writes songs on her guitar, Amanda took piano les- sons, starting when she eight years old, and took vocal lessons at Notre Dame. She says ‘L.A.’, her second song, is about “everyday situations, wanting to be yourself” and not phony. ‘Behind Your Guilty Lies’, her first, “is basically a song about karma.” Amanda says her songs come not only from experience but also from her imagination. “It’s kind of a mixture,” she says. “Sometimes you can get it from your imagi- nation and sometimes it’s just something that hap- pens.” Amanda’s cutting an EP, likely this summer, and is working on a number of new songs, including one with a “countryish feel” and another that she describes as “dark and mysterious,” about a train ride and the strange and unusual peo- ple she met on it. Look for her on the myspace web- site soon to hear a sample of her music. When she’s not strum- ming on her guitar, Aman- da enjoys camping, hiking and playing baseball in the summer.
