From Pickering to Whitby, Dur- ham schools are participating in the Destination ImagiNation (DI) global nationals after recently qualifying in the Ontario regional tournament. The competition presents schools with a complex challenge in which students perform their prepared solutions for judges through a drama involving cos- tumes, props and sets. In its first year of competition, West- creek Public School in Pickering is going to the global nationals to per- form its ‘Round About Courage’. The challenge involves presenting a heroic story in the style of theatre, which in- cludes a personal challenge for the hero to overcome and a technical set piece. “The really cool thing about this is the kids come up with all of it,” said Debra Davis, a teacher at West- creek and organizer of its DI team. She said the kids come up with things she would never think about. “They’re not governed by param- eters yet so it’s very interesting to watch,” said Ms. Davis. Her team of seven Grade 3 students wrote its performance based on inven- tor Thomas Edison. In it, Mr. Edison creates a time machine and visits the future in 2700. Once there, his chal- lenge is to convince his great, great ... grandson that he is who he says. He also has to find an alternative fuel source to get his machine back to pres- ent day. Their props for the perfor- mance include a time dial, flying cars, and a turkey baster with baking soda to create a smoke effect during time travel. The team started work on the project in mid-October and met after school weekly, sometimes until 8 p.m., Ms. Davis said. “This has been a really good niche for a few of the kids who really didn’t have a place to belong,” said Ms. Davis, and added it increases confidence, so- cial skills, and teaches teamwork. The Westcreek trip to Tennessee is roughly $700 per person and is from May 22-27. Each child also needs to be accompanied by an adult. The school is holding a garage-craft-bake sale May 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise money and is also having raffles.

Team members are Austin Fraser, Emily Williams, Megan Stoi- ber, Ethan Augustin and Evan Winter. The team finished in second place at the Ontario Regional Tournament.

The Ontario Municipal Board re- cently decided to withdraw an appeal by the Pickering East Shore Commu- nity Association (PESCA) against de- velopment at the Plaza. The appeal was originally also proposed by the property owner, S.R. and R. Develop- ment Group Ltd., until it withdrew its claim and asked that PESCA’s appeal also be withdrawn without a hearing. Counsel for S.R and R. argued PESCA’s appeal didn’t have merit, actions were only for delay, and were not made in good faith. The OMB agreed. Resident Paul Fieldhouse said con- cerned residents planned on voicing their opinions before the appeal was withdrawn. “A lot of people were disappointed they didn’t get the chance to go to the OMB,” he said. The development, San Francisco By the Bay, will be on a 3.38 hectare parcel of land located at Bayly Street and St. Mar tins Drive. It consists of approxi- mately 120 townhouses and two apart- ment units (one 16-storey and another 18-storey) and 25,000 square feet of re- tail or commercial uses in the ground floor of the apartment buildings. PESCA’s appeal was based on a number of factors. It thought the de- velopment was inconsistent with the City’s Official Plan, the Regional Of- ficial Plan and the Places to Grow Act. It also voiced concerns on residential density, building heights, loss of retail space and employment and parking issues. PESCA president Susan Carlevaris said although S.R. and R. met with the PESCA, it immediately dismissed con- cerns, such as building heights, which, in the end, dismissed compromise. “Some developers work closely with the community,” Ms. Carlevaris said. “This isn’t one of them.” A company representative refused to comment. Council approved the development application in October, 2006. The City of Pickering continues to support the development, stating the site is perfect for rejuvenation and opportunity. “I’m pleased that the board has ap- proved the zoning bylaw and that the application is able to proceed to its next steps,” said Neil Carroll, the City’s director of planning and develop- ment. But, residents have voiced their con- cerns from the beginning, one big one being high density. Mr. Fieldhouse said it’s still a big concern, and fears Residents lose fight against San Francisco By the Bay ✦ See Local, Page A2 ✦ See Project, Page A2 Fraud artist handed penitentiary sentence Phoney credit cards used at stores By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A man who passed himself off as someone he wasn’t -- producing a driver’s licence and citizenship documents to support the charade -- has received a pen- itentiary sentence after pleading guilty to fraud-related charges. Wayne Maloney, also known as Malcolm Knight, was sentenced Friday to two years in addition to dead time he’d spent in custody since his arrest in February. The total sentence is 27 months, a sig- nificant term for fraud offences. He was arrested late in 2006 as Malcolm Knight on numerous charges of fraud and unlawful use of credit card data for purchases made with phoney credit cards at stores in Whitby and Ajax. Malcolm Knight was released on bail, re-arrested by Durham cops on new fraud charges and let out on bail again. But it was when the Whitby resident’s real identity became known to police here that he went on the lam. “A fingerprint down the line identified him as Wayne Maloney and he went on the run,” said Detective Constable Jeff Caplan, of Durham’s major fraud unit. Malcolm Knight, who resided on Nordic Court in Whitby, had no criminal record when he was arrested on a warrant for fraudu- lent credit card purchases during a routine traffic stop in Decem- ber. Wayne Maloney, on the other hand, has an extensive record and is a suspect in fraud inves- tigations in Peel Region. He is, according to D/C Caplan, “very well known to police.” Mr. Maloney surrendered to police in February. Police said Mr. Maloney essen- tially created a new identity for himself using documents includ- ing counterfeit citizenship papers and a valid Ontario driver’s li- cence bearing his alias. Frenchman’s Bay and William Dunbar public schools in Pickering also had qualifying teams for the tournament. Among those going to Tennessee is William Dunbar’s elementary team, which also participated in the ‘Round About Courage’ challenge. Kim Fraser, a parent volunteer for the team, said the whole DI process is about getting kids to do everything on their own with no parental influence. For its performance, the team of five kids, ages eight and nine, came up with a script of a king trying to get on a horse to save a prince. The team’s technical prop was a homemade jack to boost the king onto a horse. “They did everything from their story line to their lead up,” said Ms. Fraser, and added it had three scene changes. “They made all their own costumes, they have sword fights.” To go to the global competition, the William Dunbar students need about $550 each and have already raised a large portion through donations from the school community council, choco- late and garage sales, among other efforts. Ajax’s Duffin’s Bay Public School is ready to go on its trip. Diana Flood, one of Duffin’s Bay DI team managers, said its group of four Grade 5 and Grade 6 students is com- peting in the Card-DI-ology challenge. “They had to construct a structure out of playing cards and glue,” said Ms. Flood. The card structure could weigh a maximum of 85 grams and the Duf- fin’s Bay creation was able to support 570 pounds, Ms. Flood added. The team’s design included wrapping cards around a wooden dowel and gluing them to hold the shape, then removing them afterwards. “We had tested other structures we built and at the last minute we came up with a different model,” said Ms. Flood. “The kids just thought it looked bet- ter, more sturdy.” They also had to perform a play to show cards are important in life. Their skit involved someone losing an ID card, getting fired from their job, and heading to the casino in hopes of winning big by playing cards, which occurs. In Whitby, parent volunteer Andreas Lueth is involved in Sir William Ste- phenson Public School’s qualifying team. He said the group of six 10- year-olds qualified through an instant challenge it had to come up with at the Ontario competition. “They got a perfect score,” said Mr. Lueth. Although the team was planning on going to the global competition, it looks like they have to cancel because some members are unable to attend, said Mr. Lueth.

He explained the only routes of es- cape would be taking Bayly Street to Ajax or to Whites Road, and the extra cars he expects would not make that route any easier. Mr. Fieldhouse said he’s going to miss the plaza, since he used the dry cleaners regularly and enjoyed walk- ing to the local bar, rather than driving to one. “G oing to a neighbourhood bar you could walk to certainly had its advan- tages,” he said. “I never had to worry about drinking and driving.” Mr. Fieldhouse said he’ll be fighting future development on the property. Mr. Carroll explained the developers now need a site plan approval and the holding restriction lifted, and they can then start with development. Mr. Car- roll said since S.R. and R. decided to withdraw the appeal, they will abide by all conditions set by council, including the addition of traffic lights. “We’re confident the community will find this to be a positive change,” he said. Ms. Carlevaris said all PESCA can do is be there for residents, especially seniors, who need its help. She said the area contains a very high number of seniors, many who no longer drive and will now often have to take taxis to run their errands. She said she even knows some are already planning to move. “It’s left seniors feeling vulnerable,” she said. “It’s a shame.” She said the PESCA will become more aware of current issues and pro- active in the writing of Pickering’s of- ficial plan. ✦ Project from page A1 ‘I think I am owed an apology. He embarrassed me in front of a whole bus’ By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A stroller saga has one avid transit user questioning the compassion of the Region’s transit staff. Jane Latimer is seven months preg- nant and a type-two diabetic, which makes her pregnancy high risk. The mix of circumstances has made it difficult to care for her two- and-half year old daughter. On doc- tor’s orders she has been told to avoid lifting her. “I have to take it easy,” Ms. Latimer said. “I can’t lift her and she is only 38 pounds.” Just after 5 p.m. on April 17, Ms. Latimer was heading to the grocery store in Oshawa with her daugh- ter. She uses Durham Region Transit (DRT) to travel and this day was no exception. However, when she boarded the bus, her daughter asleep in a stroller, the driver told her she had to remove her daughter from the stroller and fold it up so it wasn’t in the aisle. “I said to him, ‘I know it is your policy, but I also know that I have the right to refuse’,” she explained. “They ramble on that it is a safety issue, but it is up to you if you want to keep your child in the stroller.” She said she asked a woman sit- ting in one of the wheelchair seats to move and locked the stroller in place. “I wasn’t in the isle at all,” Ms. Lat- imer said. She said the driver then got out of his seat, approached her and told her to get off the bus. When she refused a supervisor was called. While they waited for the supervi- sor to arrive, Ms. Latimer said pas- sengers started to yell at her to get off the bus. “It was embarrassing,” she said. “I had an entire bus full of people yell- ing at me.” When the supervisor came he re- solved the situation by driving Ms. Latimer, her friend and their chil- dren to their destination. After the incident, Ms. Latimer said she was looking for retribution so she started calling DRT to get some answers, answers she said she never received. “I think I am owed an apology,” she said. “He embarrassed me in front of a whole bus.” DRT deputy general manager Phil Meagher doesn’t disagree. “It shouldn’t have happened this way, that is all I can say about this one,” he said. He offered his apologies to Ms. Latimer for any inconvenience or embarrassment she may have faced, adding the driver would have been counselled at that time. It is DRT policy that strollers be folded and out of the way. “Our policy is that this is standard operating procedure, but if there’s extenuating circumstances the driv- er should accommodate where pos- sible,” he said. It is acceptable to put a stroller in the wheelchair spot as long as it isn’t needed. “(Strollers) are a common com- plaint because seniors and people with mobility issues have a problem getting around them,” Mr. Meagher said. pickeringtowncentre.com HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY Yv es Rocher Gift Package* FREE when you spend $100 or more (same day sales, before taxes) at any Pickering Town Centre store, service or restaurant.

Youth held for psychiatric assessment PICKERING — Durham officers responding to a weapons call in Pickering Sunday night drew their guns as they arrested a youth with what turned out to be an air pistol. The 15-year-old youth, who had been seen pulling the weapon from a holster and on one occasion point- ed it at his own head, was held for a bail hearing and a psychiatric assessment fol- lowing the 11 p.m. arrest. Cops responded to a com- plaint from a witness who told them a person armed with a gun had been seen behind a store at the Hubb Plaza on Kingston Road. Police found a suspect at the intersection of Kingston and Glennana roads and initiated a gunpoint take- down. The youth was found to have an air pistol in a holster on his hip, police said. He’s been charged with weapons offences. Metroland Media Group sales rep known for his commitment and passion for local business community By David Stell dstell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A house fire in Greenbank Saturday night has claimed the life of a popular business leader in the Port Perry commu- nity. Craig Taylor, a senior sales associate with the Port Perry Star and the cur- rent past-president of the Scugog Chamber of Com- merce, died at his Green- bank home where he lived alone. He was 55. The Ontario Fire Mar- shal’s office was on scene Sunday and Monday along with Durham Regional Po- lice. As of Tuesday, there had been no cause deter- mined for the fire. Accord- ing to Durham Regional Po- lice, the cause of death was smoke inhalation. Firefighters were called to the blaze around 9 p.m. Saturday night at the home located just south of the business section of Green- bank. According to a release from the Scugog Fire De- partment, which is assisting the fire marshal’s investiga- tion, Mr. Taylor was pulled from the burning home, but later succumbed to his injuries due to the fire. In fighting the blaze, which had fully engulfed the home, one Scu- gog firefighter was taken to hos- pital due to heat exhaustion, and was treated and released. Mr. Taylor, an active com- munity supporter, is well known for his commitment to the business community in Scugog and Uxbridge. Earlier this year he stepped down from the president’s role after three years at the helm. A very popular member of the Port Perry Star staff, Mr. Ta ylor will be sadly missed by his colleagues. He was a source of inspiration for his commitment and pas- sion to being a leader in the sales department, as well as for driving the Star toward his personal goal of making the long-standing newspa- per the best it could be in serving its readers and ad- vertisers. “Everyone at Metroland Durham Region Media Group are shocked and deeply saddened,” said Di- rector of Advertising Fred Eismont. “Craig was a won- derful family man, a co- worker who always thought of others before himself. The pas- sion he brought to life was infectious by all who were around him. He will be missed by all of the commu- nities and organi- zations that he so proudly served.” A com- munity volun- teer for decades, Mr. Taylor coached hockey in Scugog in the 1980’s. He was proud of his sports involvement and was an accomplished wrestler who won a provin- cial championship in high school. Before starting work as a sales rep for the Metroland group of newspapers in the late-90s, Mr. Taylor was a real estate agent for a num- ber of years and prior to that worked at Du Pont in Whitby. Mr. Taylor is pre-de- ceased by his wife Kelly, who died last year due to illness. He is survived by his daughter Jen, of Newcastle, and son Todd, of Whitby, and several grandchildren. Visitation is planned for Thursday, May 10 at Low and Low Funeral Home in Port Perry from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. On Friday the family is planning to hold a remembrance event at the Scugog Community Centre at 1 p.m. with a re- ception to follow.

Teen with air pistol arrested at gunpoint Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal from families By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Jane Kitchen’s son is no longer on the waiting list to receive gov- ernment-funded treatment for autism. Not because he got to the front of the line, but because five-year-old Ben’s autism was deemed too mild to qualify for treatment paid for by the Province. Autism is a developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. It is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain in the areas of communication and social skills. Children and adults with autism may have trouble with verbal and non-ver- bal communication and social inter- action, experience sensitivity in sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, exhibit aggressive or self-injurious behaviour and have difficulty with changes in rou- tine. According to the Ministry of Chil- dren and Youth Services, a child must have an autistic disorder or condition that is “towards the severe end of the autism spectrum disorder” -- and have received such a diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist -- before qualifying for funded treatment. “He was diagnosed with autism. Ob- viously there are children with more severity, but they all need help,” says Ms. Kitchen, one of many frustrated parents in Durham. “Without treat- ment, he wouldn’t be able to function.” When Ben was first diagnosed, he barely spoke, didn’t look people in the eye, and had difficulty socializing. To day, thanks to treatment his parents pay for with their line of credit, he is making strides in all those areas. He receives private treatment for six hours a week, which costs the family just over $7,000 annually. Ms. Kitchen says many other families pay out of pocket for 40 hours of treatment week- ly, making their financial burden much heavier. She is adamant that autism treatment should be funded by the Province or through OHIP, regardless of the sever- ity. “If someone in this Province has can- cer, you don’t tell them it’s not seri- ous enough and to come back when they’re almost dead. You catch it early and treat it early,” Ms. Kitchen says. “It should be the same for autism.” Many others share this point of view. On April 12, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal from a group of 28 families who have been pressuring the government to provide more comprehensive funding for au- tism treatment. The determined group won at the lower court level, then lost at the Ontar- io Court of Appeal. In desperation, they made an application to the Supreme Court and were told the case would not be heard. Autism Ontario is a provincewide group that works to promote awareness of the disorder and support families through a network of 29 local chapters. In the months leading up to next fall’s provincial election, members hope to make autism a high profile issue by developing a series of questions to ask each party leader, particularly Premier Dalton McGuinty who has made many promises related to autism. A government spokesman was un- available for comment on the McGuinty government’s policies, however the Ministry of Children and Youth Services did provide This Week with the follow- ing statistics. The 2007 budget for autism services increases funding to approximately $130 million and more than 1,100 chil- dren are now receiving Intensive Behav- iour Intervention (IBI) services through the government’s Autism Intervention Program -- more than double the num- ber of kids receiving treatment in 2004. But families are demanding more, saying all children with autism should qualify for treatment. “When families end up paying for this treatment themselves, it breaks them,” said Lisa Wilson, president of the Durham chapter of Autism Ontario. “Some families pay as much as $60,000 to $80,000 for private treatment; it’s very, very difficult for them.” Until recently, Ms. Wilson never thought her youngest son would be able to at- tend a regular kindergarten class. But today, five-year-old Jonathan goes to school just like his three older brothers, thanks largely to receiving early inter- vention and treatment for autism. “We had to mortgage our home to pay for his treatment,” Ms. Wilson says. “Our pediatrician said don’t wait for the government, do whatever it takes to get him treatment. So we did.” In Durham Region alone there are an estimated 3,500 people with autism spectrum disorder and about 70,000 provincewide.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for Durham women to ante up for Ad elaide House To the editor: Re: The Adelaide House crisis. There have been letters to the papers concerning the plight of Adelaide House. One prompted this reply because of one sentence, “I would like to see a solution of this issue and I hope that a member of the government will do something about it.” Here is an answer and it does not involve pleading to the lev- els of government for money. It is time for the Women of Durham to stand up for those women who have fallen on their knees due to circumstanc- es many of us will never know. But, many of us do know some- one who is going through those rough times... maybe it’s our sis- ter, our daughter, our mother! We need to make a commit- ment of at least $10 per month and I mean every month! Can you imagine if all the women of Durham Region give $10 a month to fund Adelaide House. What could that pos- sibly accomplish... hope, heal- ing and restoration through programs not even in the bud- get of a government’s offering! So rise up Women of Dur- ham and let us open Adelaide House as soon as possible! Send your cheques with your pledge to help to: YWCA, 1 Mc- Grigor St., Oshawa, On., L1H 1X8. ShirleyBee-Mohammed Whitby We’re playing catch-up as far as the environment goes To the editor: Re: April 29 editorial, ‘Feds on right course with climate plan’. Finally someone who actu- ally gets it. I have been involved with various environmental issues over the last 25 years, right from when our family had its own business and my father experimented and developed a solar panel. Although not as so- phisticated as today’s systems it was a start and, guess what, do you think he could get any kind of funding or grant money to perfect it? Not on your life; he was actually laughed at by some. As for myself, I had travelled to Europe in the 80s with a group of other business people involved in various environ- mental areas to look at what they were already doing with composting, recycling, energy- from-waste systems and sec- ondary containment (which our company was involved in). I am working with a compa- ny that provides an air purifica- tion system for use in residen- tial homes; it filters air down to .007 microns. We have just recently exhib- ited at the Green Living Show and the interest about the envi- ronment was outstanding. To my point, stop blaming the current government. We as the consumer must also take re- sponsibility. We waste half the energy we produce, live lav- ishly and are prime contribu- tors to the existing problem. Easy to shift blame isn’t it? We must start the green revo- lution to help the government, not point the finger. If the op- position parties (especially the Liberals) want to finger point, what about, as stated in your editorial, “the lack of action by the Liberals from 1997-2005.“ Explain that one Mr. Holland and Mr. McTeague.

IN THE COMMUNITY Goodie-Two-Shoes lifestyle could be on the verge of changing /4& I t pains me to admit it but, up until this point in my life, I’ve been a colossal Goodie-Two-shoes. I have been very well be- haved. I have done what I’ve been told. I’ve toed the line. No one ever needed to worry about Neil. No sir. He’d be just fine. No smokes hidden in his underwear drawer, no girlie magazine under the mattress, no need to measure the level in the liquor bottles. Everything by the book, on the level, ac- cording to Hoyle. I’ve never smoked a ciga- rette, never been intoxicated, never even thrown up on a friend. Somehow I avoided all of that stuff. I’m not sure how that happened. My four broth- ers and my sister certainly had their share of normal ‘experi- mental’ moments growing up and my father, in his teens, could’ve given Marlon Brando a run for his money. Yet they all grew up and through those moments to become reason- ably well-adjusted adults. Three of them became po- lice officers. I, however, recoiled from danger or misadventure at every turn. Worse, I felt com- pelled to save those around me from crossing over to the dark side. Once, on a walk with my sister, she swore me to secrecy as she whipped out a Craven A and lit up. She may have in- terpreted my open-mouthed, ashen-faced visage as tacit agreement but immediately upon returning home, I finked. I ratted her out big time. I sang like a canary. By the time her grounding was up, we’d put a man on the moon. She didn’t speak to me for about a year, but that was small penance for saving her immortal soul. Cigarette smoke in her eyes, she’d clearly failed to see the peril she was in. I, however had witnessed the gates of hell opening up to swallow her. That was my adolescence. Ye ars later, marriage would somewhat temper my monkish zeal. Through the patient, lov- ing instruction of my naughty Quaker wife, I began to under- stand that things like alcohol, coffee, and Gin Rummy would not turn me into a wretched combination of Whitney Hous- ton and Robert Downey Jr. Still, the odd single-malt aside, I remain an inveterate bet-hedger, a dyed-in-the-wool Timid Tammy, a Careful Carl. And that irks. It bothers me be- cause, in my quietest moments, I understand that none of this behavior is based on any grand desire for a better, safer, more ethical or moral existence. It is all based in fear. Fear of screw- ing up, fear of standing out, fear of falling down. Any way you slice it, that’s too much fear. And that is no way to live. We ll, enough is enough. On the eve of my forty-sev- enth birthday I am determined things are going to change. The envelope will be pushed. I have already engaged in behavior I would’ve deemed unthinkable scant months ago. I have not flipped my mat- tress in weeks. I am recklessly ignoring ‘Best Before’ dates on dairy prod- ucts. And recently I made a lane change without indicating. Mind you it was three in the morning on a stretch of desert- ed country road, but I remind you gentle reader, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Total votes: 282 Yes: 57.1 % No: 42.9 % More tax on gas would be unfair Adding insult to injury given prices, existing haul In the long-term battle to blend fuel-efficiency, consumer behav- iour and industrial compliance into a winner for the environment there are many different steps the federal government can take. The feds can choose to offer a tax rebate (called a feebate) of $1,000 to $2,000 to those who buy more fuel-efficient vehicles and levy up to $4,000 in charges to those who purchase gas guzzlers. They can also pass legislation to force automakers to build more green-friendly vehicles. Or the federal government can institute an across-the-board gas tax to raise funds to battle climate change and make an attempt to influence driver behaviour. While automakers have told the feds they don’t like options one and two, the third option -- an across the board tax increase -- is probably the least fair and most damaging political and economic move the federal government could make. Imagine, given our steadily rising gas prices and massive tax take on each litre of gas, proposing yet more taxes on fuel. It seems hard to conceive, never mind it being something the feds could even achieve without a consumer revolt. The simple reason why car makers, including General Motors of Canada, dislike feebates and stringent legislation is that it has an impact on their operations. It forces the industry to comply with a higher degree of fuel-efficiency and might cut into the bottom line. However, a tax increase on drivers and those who use trucking to move goods, can’t help improve our economy. It is unfair in that it punishes everybody -- even those who buy more fuel-efficient vehi- cles -- for the problem of climate change. And it doesn’t do much, if anything, to push automakers toward building more green-friendly cars and trucks. The federal plan to battle climate change, Turning the Corner, has allowances for industry to meet demands to produce vehicles that generate fewer emissions and allows a window of four to five years to get there. That should be enough time to meet all the requirements as requested by the government. In the meantime, those who choose greener cars should get a break. Automakers and politicians have to get in sync with members of the public who are clamouring for greener technologies and solu- tions that make our environment healthy for the long haul. More taxation is not the way to get there.

Saturday, May 26, 2007 Pickering Town Centre (centre court) 10:00 am - 6:00 pm St. Bernadette students sing in celebration By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The hearts of Durham students were filled with song Monday. Singing ‘Our Song’, schools from Pickering to Oshawa and Uxbridge par- ticipated in Music Monday, May 7, a program presented by the Coalition of Music Education in Canada. The event is intended to bring students and teach- ers out of their classrooms to perform a short concert and unite in music. Among its participants, St. Berna- dette Catholic School in Ajax brought its primary choir outside in the sun- shine Monday morning to perform its song for the newspaper. “Music Monday basically is to cel- ebrate music,” said Bernadett Stefuroc- zki, a Grade 2 teacher at St. Bernadette Catholic School and a primary choir leader. The school also played ‘Our Song’ with its morning announcements and throughout Education Week to prepare all students to sing it together. Ms. Ste- furoczki said the school planned to play the song at 12:30 p.m. over the PA sys- tem Monday and have everyone step into the hall to sing it together. “I think Music Monday means that the people that love music want to cele- brate it and appreciate it for being made and say we love music and rock on,” said student Emma Bower, age eight and a member of the primary choir. “Also, it’s really nice to have music to listen to every once in awhile in school and at home.” Emma said she looks forward to Music Monday and learning a new song. She added she works on songs at home and sings them to her parents, which provides more family time to- gether. This is the third year the school has participated in Music Monday; the two previous years students sang ‘Little Music’. Ms. Stefuroczki said it’s important for students to have music in their lives. She said it’s easier for students to get involved with music in high school, but it’s very important to teach it in elemen- tary. At St. Bernadette, they’re lucky to have some teachers trained in music, but many elementary schools don’t, Ms. Stefuroczki added. “A lot of times music does get put on the back burner to cover other sub- jects,” said Ms. Stefuroczki. “I just don’t want to see it get lost. I think music is like a feeling; it’s a totally different lan- guage.” Ms. Stefuroczki said studies have shown music is beneficial in mathemat- ics because of the counting and timing involved. Musical events such as Music Mon- day also give students a chance to shine at something they’re good at, said Ms. Stefuroczki. “Why not be a part of it,” said Ms. Stefuroczki. “It’s part of the community, it’s nation wide now.” To student Jasmine Gautreau, Music Monday means singing and playing lots of music. “I like it because I get to learn new songs and have fun and learn new notes,” said Jasmine, age eight, also in the primary choir. Jasmine said it’s important for people to have music in their lives so they can be happy and have fun while they’re singing. 905.839.0574www.aroundthehome.ca •KITCHENS• KITCHENS •VANITIES• VANITIES 1550 BAYLY ST., #35, PICKERING AUTOBOYZ Service Centre Quick Oil Change Bay Full Parking Lot Security Specialist in: • Alignment • Brakes • Tune Up • Major Repair ~Electrical Diagnosting ~~ Electrical Diagnosting ~ Call For Further Information 754 McKay Rd., Pickering 905-686-8330 www.autoboyz.cawww.autoboyz.ca merry maids® Relax, It’s Done.® One less thing to worry about.® www.formerrymaids.com $3000 OFF First Time Cleaning *New customers only.

Metroland Durham Region Media Group Tips and seminars help students land their first job By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Sixteen-year-old Ian Rowe is looking for a part-time sum- mer job and he said this past weekend at the Pickering Town Centre was the perfect place to try to find one. “Just the fact that you can get differ- ent jobs and there is different selec- tion,” Ian said. “It is a good way to get out and apply for a lot of jobs at one time.” Ian, along with more than 400 job-hungry students, attended the Pickering Town Centre’s mall-wide Shop for Jobs event on May 4 and 5. More than 70 retailers were looking to fill full, part-time and seasonal jobs. Staff was on hand for career coun- selling, free photocopying, to hand out brochures, offer computer stations for resume tweaking and wardrobe work- shops. Lorraine Keller is an employee with the Pickering Town Centre guest ser- vices. She said she had seen a steady flow of young job seekers all weekend. She photocopied resumes and pointed the applicants in the direction of the stores that were hiring. “It has been busy all day,” she said on Saturday afternoon. But, other than photocopying nearly 3,000 resumes, she said it was the tips and seminars on how to give a proper handshake and make eye contact that students found particularly helpful. “They offered seminars on how to dress and to apply for a job,” Ms. Keller said. “Even for me it was interesting.” Krystle Ferdinand, from Pickering, is new to the job market and said she found the event extremely help- ful. The 16 year old wants to work at a clothing store, not only to make some money, but also for the staff discount on cloths. “I would like a job and I don’t have any experience so they showed me how to take the little things you have and make your resume better,” she said. Scott Forbes, an administrative as- sociate with YMCA Employment and Community Durham, tweaked plenty of resumes like Krystle’s on the week- end. “We look and see if it is in the proper format and the best format to sell them to a potential employer,” Mr. Forbes explained. “And we give them pointers on how to make it more presentable or tailor it to a specific job.” Contest starts Sunday, May 20th PICKERING LICK’S - PICKERING & THE NEWS ADVERTISER present: Sponsored by: & Here’s how it works: Drop off a summer fun photo of yourself to Lick’s Restaurant – Pickering.

Durham College gets military DURHAM — A new Durham College program is being launched to help non-commissioned military person- nel of the Canadian Forces. Announced May 1, Durham Col- lege’s Military Arts and Science pro- gram is intended to provide leader- ship, critical thinking, security studies, resource management and communi- cation skills required for modern mili- tary organizations and large corpora- tions. It’s also a recognized component of non-commission military (NCM) training, which is transferable into the civilian workforce once they retire from military service. “We are very pleased to offer the Military Arts and Science program to help non-commissioned members of the Canadian Forces gain critical skills and experience that will not only advance their military standing and aspirations, but leave them in good stead upon their retirement from the Forces,” said Leah Myers, Durham Col- lege president. The program is available online on a part-time basis through Durham Col- lege’s partnership with OntarioLearn. The first 16 students are beginning studies this month. The Military Arts and Science grew out of a need identified by the Canadi- an Defence Academy to meet the pro- fessional development requirements of its NCM. The program is also de- signed to meet the needs of individu- als with an interest in military affairs and operations, including emergency services personnel such as police of- ficers and firefighters.

Sting corrals ‘Colt’ in OHL draft Sarnia chooses smooth-skating Ajax forward with first-round, 12th overall, pick By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — As a hockey player who’s better known as Colt, you know Colton Kennedy’s going to a be a thorough- bred on the ice. The Sarnia Sting certainly think so. The Ontario Hockey League squad made the six-foot, one-inch, 175- pound centreman their first-round choice, 12th overall, at the OHL Prior- ity Draft, conducted over the Internet Saturday. Sting general manager Alan Millar says Kennedy was on the team’s wish list of three or four players who might be on the board when Sarnia drafted in the 12th position. “He was the next guy on our list. Ob- viously, we like Colton a lot. We think he’s a good, solid player who’s got great upside. He’s arguably one of the best skaters, if not the best, in the draft. He’s a big guy, big shot, plays centre and right wing,” says Millar of Kennedy, the first of eight forwards drafted by the Sting. “A t the end of the day, we’re talk- ing about a young player and you’re projecting them and their upside. I felt, and our scouts felt, that he has tremen- dous upside and he’ll be a great player in our league.” Kennedy, 16, is thrilled with the opportunity to make Sarnia his OHL hockey home. “I was really excited. I’m glad the waiting is over. Sarnia’s the place where I wanted to go, so I’m glad I went there,” says the Ajax resident. The Grade 10 student at Ajax High School says the Sting should be a good fit for him, owing to the fact they’re a team on the rise and not in a rebuild- ing mode. He’s looking forward to the chance to play alongside Steve Stam- kos, a standout rookie centreman in Sarnia last year. Like Stamkos, Kennedy says he’s looking forward to the opportunity of becoming a go-to offensive player for the Sting. “I believe I can bring some offence that will help them win some games.” OHL Central Scouting held Kennedy in high regard, describing him as “a smooth-skating centreman that pos- sesses a ton of offensive ability. A great skater displaying one of the best strides of all eligible players. With his skating, he should be a top player that dictates how the game will be played.” Millar says as a newcomer to the OHL, Kennedy will be allowed to ma- ture and grow into the kind of player the Sting organization believes he can be. “I don’t think you can ask a 16-year- old to have a great impact off the bat. I think Colton will come in here and play and get a good opportunity. Develop- ment is really important. He’s going to have to work hard in the gym and in practice and that will determine how much he plays. We expect to have him in our lineup, but you can’t put high expectations on a 16-year-old player. “We’ve got a great kid. Certainly we expect him to make an impact, but not necessarily do we have those expecta- tions in the first year.” Millar says Kennedy has been on the team’s scouting radar for the past year. He’s a player he notes will be a good fit with the Sting. “We have several left-shot forwards, so to get a right shot was very impor- tant,” says Millar. “We’re very intrigued with his raw ability and we’re happy to get him with our first pick.” Kennedy played up an age bracket with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders major midget ‘AAA’ squad, and was still able to excel against older competition. In fact, the forward produced a point a game last season. The move into a higher age group was beneficial, he says. “Playing with the older guys helped me mentally and physically,” he says, adding the Raiders major midgets made it to the OMHA final before fin- ishing fourth. Kennedy wasn’t the only Ajax- Pickering Raiders player chosen dur- ing Saturday’s draft. Four members of the Ajax-Pickering minor midget ‘AAA’ squad were also snapped up by OHL teams. They were: • Andy Andreoff, fifth round, 70th overall, by the Oshawa Generals. The 5-foot, 10-inch, 150-pound centreman scored 38 points (17 goals, 21 assists) for the Raiders last season. Andreoff also played with the St. Mary Mon- archs senior boys’ hockey team last season; • Mark Ramkema, ninth round, 168th overall, by the Owen Sound Attack. The 5-foot, 11-inch, 170-pound defence- man chalked up 21 points and 153 penalty minutes for the minor midget Raiders last season; • Mark Purcell, 11th round, 209th over- all, by the Kingston Frontenacs. The defenceman, who stands 5-foot, 11- inch and 155-pounds, scored 11 goals and added 11 assists for the minor midget Raiders. He also recorded 50 penalty minutes; • Jordan Ramsay, 12th round, 227th overall, by the Sudbury Wolves. Ram- say’s a 5-foot, 10-inch, 150-pound cen- treman.

Pickering teen national U15 squash champion Top-seeded Engel sweeps through competition to win first Canadian crown By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The disappointment of losing the boys’ under-13 national squash crown two years ago never left Adam Engel’s memory. So, when the Canadian Junior Squash Championships re- convened in Montreal late last month, the Pickering teen notes his previous de- feat was all the motivation he needed to push him to new heights. Competing in the boys’ under-15 age group at na- tionals at Club Atwater and McGill University, Engel lived up to his No. 1 seed- ing by ousting No. 4-seeded Mackenzie Foster of B.C. 3-0 (9-1, 9-6 and 9-4) to secure his first Canadian squash title. “I was shocked,” says Engel, 14, of his immediate reaction after winning the title. “I’ve wanted this since I started playing the game.” Most special for Engel was having the championship trophy present- ed by former Canadian and world squash champion Jonathon Power, who won the same under-15 national crown 20 years earlier. “It was really cool,” says Engel of receiving the trophy from Power. “He distinctly remembers winning that (under-15 national) title when he was 12, playing up to win that title. He’s won a world championship and still remembers winning Canadians.” As the top seed, Engel earned a bye through the round of 64, defeat- ing Kodi Lewis-Willie of B.C. (3-0) in the round of 32 and Stephen Rush of Ontario (3-0) in the round of 16. In the quarter-finals, he won out over James Keene of Toronto (3-1). In the semifinals, Engel downed Tyler Os- borne of Kingston (3-0) to advance to the championship match. The Grade 9 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School earned his top seed at nationals after putting together a solid season on the squash court. Earlier this month, Engel won the Ontario Junior Open in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where he defeated the No. 2-ranked player in Canada, Albert Shoihet, in three straight games. Engel credits his training at the Pickering Recreation Complex under long-time coach James Hayes, as well as instruc- tion for Power’s former coach, Mike Way, for help- ing him achieve his goals As a result of his accomplishments this season, which also included a provincial closed title in November and semi-final results in the Cana- dian Junior Open and the Scottish Junior Open last December, he has been selected to train with the Ju- nior National Team and will attend its training camp in July. Engel will compete for a position to represent Canada at the World Junior Cham- pionships in Switzerland next sum- mer. As only four players will be se- lected, Engel knows he has his work cut out for him. “I want to be one of those four. It’s going to be really strong competition there,” he says. Sports briefs MAY 9, 2007 [ Tr ampoline ] Ajacian soars to provincial title AJAX — Following outstanding medal-winning performances at the pro- vincial championship, an Ajax trampolin- ist has landed in the Canadian champi- onships later this month.

Mary juniors continue torrid pace on the pitch Monarchs’ soccer girls down DO’C in final at Notre Dame/Denis O’Connor tournament PICKERING — The St. Mary Catho- lic Secondary School Monarchs junior girls’ soccer team is proving tough to beat so far this season. The Monarchs continued their un- defeated 2007 soccer campaign with a perfect run through the sixth annual Notre Dame/Denis O’Connor Junior Girls’ Soccer Tournament on Friday. In the final, the host Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic Secondary School Chargers played the Monarchs, with the Pickering team coming out on top 2-0. Laura Taglioni scored both goals for the Monarchs. Goaltender Jessica Vella earned the shutout. Monarchs’ coach Melanie Cayford noted her veteran team, with 12 Grade 10 players, has risen to every challenge thrown its way this season. “We’re hoping to repeat as LOSSA champs, so we’re very happy with (Fri- day’s) play,” says Cayford, who’s had to work five new players into the lineup this season. The Monarchs chalked up three wins in pool play to finish first and earn a berth in the final. In Game 1, St. Mary blanked co-host Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars 4- 0. Meike Woitzik scored twice to lead the Monarchs. Shelby Forza and Vella also scored. Vella also combined with Grade 9 goalkeeper Caitlyn Seabert for the shutout, with Vella playing the first half and Seabert playing the last half. In Game 2, the Monarchs shut out the Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Blue Devils from Oshawa 4-0. Vella scored twice, with Forza and Julie Murphy adding one apiece. Seabert earned the shutout. The Monarchs finished undefeated in pool play with a 1-0 victory over the O’Neill Collegiate Redhawks of Os- hawa. Vella scored the lone goal. Meanwhile, the DO’C Chargers fin- ished first in their pool to move into the final played at DO’C on Friday afternoon.

Senior ‘B’s overcome early five-goal deficit to beat Mohawk By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Rock head coach Paul St. John wouldn’t have believed it if he wasn’t there to witness it in person. The Rock was taking an old-fashioned shellacking at the hands of the host Mo- hawk Stars in senior ‘B’ lacrosse action in Ohsweken on Saturday night, trailing badly 5-0 early in the second period and looking for all the world like a blowout was in the works. At that point, however, the Rock jump- started their offensive game, which gath- ered momentum in the second period and carried them all the way back. All told, the Rock scored seven goals in the middle frame to take a 7-6 lead -- a lead they wouldn’t relinquish in the third en route to an emphatic 9-6 victory over a shocked Mohawk squad. “It was the greatest comeback we’ve had in four years in the league,” says St. John of Saturday’s come-from-way- behind victory. “For me, in the regular season, it was the best win I’ve ever been associated with. It was just that sweet.” Most of all, the victory spoke volumes about the character of the players on the Rock roster this season. “Our guys never quit. They were com- posed and kept their composure as we only had 16 penalty minutes in the game, which was tremendous,” says St. John. Mark Craig’s spectacular individual effort for the Rock’s first goal of the game in the second period seemed to give his teammates a lift, and they would do the rest in overtaking the Stars before the end of the period. The Rock also relied on goaltender Mike Miron, who made a number of big saves at key times to keep the comeback moving forward. “He made three spectacular saves that should have been goals,” says St. John. Craig put together another solid offen- sive game for the Rock, netting a hat trick and adding four assists. Pat Van Hooser and Joel Johnson each chipped in with two-goal games. Mike Daley and Tony Henderson were the other marksmen for the Rock. Saturday’s victory improves the Rock’s record to 2-1, good enough for a first- place tie with the Brooklin Merchants in the league’s East Division. The Rock is in Norwood Friday night for a game against the Norwood Nitro (formerly the Ennismore Shamrocks). On Saturday, the Rock return to their home floor for their second meeting of the season against the Brooklin Mer- chants at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex at 7 p.m. Aj ax-Pickering Rock’s big comeback fells Stars Pebbles Record: 2-1 1st place, East Rumours of an expected return of former captain Jim Veltman to the Rock lineup are false. St. John says Veltman is planning a family trip and will be unavailable this season. St. John is, however, hoping brother John Veltman will join the Rock at some point this season... John Rosa is currently having his knee scoped and will be lost to the team for two to six weeks...

The dancer, teacher and choreogra- pher said those wonderful opportuni- ties came about in part because of her association with Canada’s Wonder- land. Cunliffe-Brown has expanded her relationship with Canada’s popular theme park by choreographing its 2007 outdoor show, Twisting to the ’60s, a musical revue, featuring popu- lar songs from that era. Twisting to the ’60s features six main characters and a live band. “It’s kind of like a Grease-type of feel to it,” says Cunliffe-Brown. “Through- out the show people will be breaking into song and dance.” There is audience participation in the show. “[We] bring one or two members of the audience up on stage where they participate in one or two dance routines at the end of the show,” she says. When Cunliffe-Brown was 16, she performed at Wonderland in some of the theatre shows for four years. It was also at 16 that she began to teach dance at the Denise Lester Dance Academy in Pickering, where she was herself a student. Cunliffe-Brown has been dancing since she was three years old. She said dancing has taught her confidence, commitment, team-work, dedication and how to overcome challenges. Denise Lester said she’s very proud of her protege. “It’s like having a child and see- ing her accomplishments,” she said. “She was one of my very first students when I opened my studio.” After her four-year stint as a per- former at Wonderland, Cunliffe- Brown did freelance shows, includ- ing performances for the Canadian Armed Forces, throughout Canada and overseas. Although she has choreographed and directed a number of charac- ter shows at Wonderland, she said the larger shows are challenging. The choreographer has to consider the size of the stage, the scenery, how to incorporate the band, all the charac- ters and any dialect, while keeping it exciting and entertaining for the audi- ence. She said no special training is nec- essary to do choreography, but it’s not easily learned. “[It] has to be in you or it’s not,” said Cunliffe-Brown. “It’s a whole creative aspect.” Having taught dancing since she was a teenager has helped because she has to choreograph dance rou- tines for her students. Tw isting to the ’60s runs on week- ends until the park opens full time, when the show will run seven days per week, four-to-five times per day. Marva Palmer is a News Advertiser free- lance writer.

Duo, quartet ready to entertain at May 12 concert Accordion, clarinet, tuba and viola make music for Durham Region Concert Association DURHAM — The final program of the season for Durham Region Concert As- sociation is something a little different. Acclarion, an accordion and clarinet duo, performs May 12 at the Salvation Army Temple on Thornton Road North. The duo will become a quartet for the last half of the concert, joined by a tuba and viola. This group is called Quadra- tone. Acclarion is David Carovillano, on ac- cordion, and Becky Carovillano on clari- net, husband and wife as of a year ago. The two have made it their mission to expose audiences to their performances of popular classics and original compo- sitions, making classical music acces- sible to everyone. Both hold masters degrees in music from the University of To ronto and played with major ensem- bles including the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. They’ve recorded a self-titled CD which can be heard often on CBC shows and has sold well around the world. Their music was featured in a Ca- nadian documentary, Sing Me To Sleep. Quadratone adds violist Fanny Tang and tuba player Michael Medeiros to the musical mix. Tang, another music grad- uate from the U of T, currently performs with Orchestra London and co-founded The Margaritas Ensemble. Medeiros began playing tuba at age 14, taught by his father. He received his formal train- ing at the University of Toronto and East- man School of Music.

Ms. Pyke, who stayed in character for the entire evening, and other members of the Backwoods Players presented a number of skits, including Rule Britannia, a tableau vivant, with Ms. Schnippering playing the role of Great Britain. By Christy Chase DURHAM — Dave Ellis has a warn- ing for everyone who’s going to see his play, The Mystery of Thade Man- sion. “Don’t be late for the first scene,” he said. “It’s important. The audi- ence needs to see the first scene. Yo u should be there right at the begin- ning of the play.” So take note and be in your seat early for the last Borelians’ produc- tion of the season, which runs to May 12. Once in that seat, you’ll be trans- ported through time and space to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938, when a revolution is raging outside the gates of a mansion of a now- dead millionaire. Inside, and on the stage in front of you, is a group of people brought together for -- well, we’re not really sure. They all had some role to play in the trial that followed the murder of that million- aire, Thomas Spade. Court staff, a gangster and his moll, widow, book- keeper, lawyer, housekeeper, police, ex-wife, reporter -- they are all there and wondering why. Over the space of a day, they and the audience will find out. The play is the work of Port Perry’s Dave Ellis, a founding member of the Borelians, an actor, director and playwright. He’s written and is di- recting this play, a tribute to film noir and murder mysteries, all those tough-talking, wise-cracking, unsen- timental heroes, tough dames and shadows, lots of shadows. “It’s one of my favourite styles, film noir,” he said. “It’s the mystery genre. I just love the old style, Raymond Chandler, Dashell Hammett, Agatha Christie. My dad was the one who got me hooked on the mysteries.” Ellis said mysteries “make your work during a play.” They make you guess. Comedies make you laugh, dramas entertain but mysteries make you work, he said. “You’re an active participant,” he said. The play is filled with the cos- tumes, music and characters of that era and the staples of film noir and murder mysteries. There are 10 characters -- the Argentine housekeeper, Consuela Chavez, Captain Don Pedro, head of the local militia, a Chicago gang- ster and his woman, a secret service agent who cracked the murder case, Spade’s bookkeeper, the prosecuting attorney, dead man’s ex-wife, current wife, court sketch artist. “They are basically trapped in the mansion because of the revolution,” Ellis said. His cast has been great to work with, giving him advice and having fun with his play. “They’re helping each other,” said Ellis of the cast. “It’s a great cast. I’ve got some veterans in this and some new people so it’s a great cross sec- tion.” Just as important in a play of this genre are the music, lighting and costumes, Ellis said. All three are vital, necessary for the atmosphere of a mystery, the sense of the era, he said. “There’ll be lots of great music. Howard Linscott is doing the music,” Ellis said. Curtain time is 8 p.m. (remember, don’t be late) with 2 p.m. matinees May 5 and 12 at Town Hall, 1873, Queen and Simcoe Streets. Tickets are $18 for adults, $13 for students and seniors. For high school students with valid photo ids, there’s a deal with EyeGo and the Boreli- ans with $5 tickets. Check out the Borelians website, www.borelians. org, for details. Tickets are available at Henshall’s Clothing and Gifts, 241 Queen St., 905-985-1965, toll-free at 1-866-808-2006, online at the Bore- lians’ website or through www.star- ticketing.com.
