With an $8.5 million shortfall for the 2007/2008 budget year, the Durham Catholic District School Board has $5.5 million left to cut, heard those attend- ing a May 28 budget update presenta- tion. The other $3 million was found through department budget reduc- tions, year end accruals, and anticipat- ed revenue sources, such as enrolment and recoveries. “Looking ahead, declining enrol- ment is a grave concern not only for our board but for all in the province,” said Ryan Putnam, senior business of- ficial. The board’s funding shortfall comes with an approximate $2 million loss from projected enrolment decline and less reserves to use. Last year, the board balanced its budget with $10.6 million from reserves, but only $2.1 million is available for 2007/2008. The initial reserve gap of $8.5 million was later reduced to $6.5 million through ongoing savings in the 2006/07 budget, bringing the combined shortfall to $8.5 million. Mr. Putnam said areas under re- view for the remaining $5.5 million in reductions include: teaching staff; custodial; strategic plan through de- ferred positions; facilities services with utilities and energy management; academic positions - consultants and coaches; school administration, vice- principals and secretarial; in-services; school budgets; non-teaching staff; and, special education. In 2006/2007, the board received $20.2 million in special education funding, but spent $23.1 million, $2.9 million more. The budget plan is to reduce the special education shortfall to $1.5 million. Brock/Scugog/Uxbridge Trustee Kathy LeFort asked how the strategic plan would work into the budget when they’re looking at shortfalls. Her com- ments referred to another item in the board’s May 28 agenda – to approve almost $1 million in alterations to the Catholic Education Centre. Patricia Manson, the board’s direc- tor of education, said the money is from this year’s budget and although removing the project could save $1 million in the short term, they’re look- Catholic board must cut to balance budget ✦ See Catholic, Page A2 HITTING HIS STRIDE Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Scott Chase of the Frenchman’s Bay Public School Barracudas races along the track during the 1500-metre race at the Oshawa Civic Stadium.

Armed with CAW flags and homemade signs, approxi- mately 400 people marched through the streets of down- town Oshawa, stop- ping at the office of local MP Colin Car- rie. “Colin doesn’t seem to ‘carrie’ about auto jobs,” stated one man’s sign. “A new auto pact right now,” demanded another from around the neck of a young girl. A retiree pointed to his sign: “Keep Os- hawa motoring.” The peaceful protest lasted no more than an hour, but the message was clear: the job loss needs to stop. “We’re here because we have a manu- facturing crisis in our country and our government continues to do nothing,” said Chris Buckley, the president of CAW local 222 and one of the event’s organiz- ers. “We need people to understand that manufacturing matters,” added Jim ‘Looking ahead, declining enrol- ment is a grave concern not only for our board but for all in the province’ RYAN PUTNAM Trustees told to continue with education centre expansion plans ✦ See GM, Page A2 20th anniversary preseason pricing Pickering/Ajax 905-683-4477 Oshawa/Whitby 905-571-2377 Advantage Airtech is still offering pre- season pricing.

Staff also spoke about the impor- tance of the project, including health and safety issues. The next steps in the bud- get process include finalizing ministry of education grants, incorporating final enrolment projections, adjusting revenue and staffing, and seeking stake- holder input. On June 11, staff presents its plan for a balanced budget that will detail the costs cut from each area reviewed. The final draft is scheduled for June 25. In upcoming years, the board’s enrolment is projected to continue its decline, said Mr. Putnam. Decreasing enrolment directly impacts funding. “Five years ago was our peak,” said Mr. Putnam, and added there were 25,020 full- time students in 2001-2002. By 2011 and 2012, it’s estimated to drop to 21,444. “What’s interesting is we haven’t been at 21,000 students since 1991/92,” said Mr. Put- nam. Contributing factors to the Catholic school enrolment decrease include demograph- ics. Mr. Putnam said there has been a 10 per cent birth decline from 1994 to 2004 and a 10 per cent decrease in pre-school kids. The Catholic board is also experiencing a shift in its share of the student population versus the public board. In 2000/2001 it had 29.2 per cent of students, compared to 27.6 per cent last school year. The shift, trustees heard, is occurring in part be- cause immigration is driving new population growth, mostly from non-Catholic countries such as China, India, Pakistan and Hong Kong. Ontario is also experiencing inter-provincial migration, mostly through peo- ple leaving for Alberta, said Mr. Putnam. Of those leaving for Alberta, 44 per cent are ages 25 to 44, 24 per cent are up to age 17, and 17 per cent are 18 to 24. Freeman, president of the Dur- ham Region Labour Council and a long-time member of the CAW. The rally was one of two held in southern Ontario on Sunday to bring public attention to the ongoing loss of manufacturing jobs and the effect that has on the community. The second rally was held in Canada’s other auto- motive town, Windsor, where an estimated 38,000 people showed up to protest the significant job loss in the auto sector. In the last four years, Windsor has experienced a 25 per cent reduction in its manufacturing workforce. But Mr. Buckley says Oshawa has not been exempt from the ongoing crisis. “People don’t think we have a crisis in auto assembly in Os- hawa. If they did, there would be 20,000 people here today and there isn’t,” he said to the cries of “s h ame” coming from the crowd. “But we do have a crisis in the auto manufacturing assembly operations in Oshawa and auto parts. In the last decade in Gen- eral Motors in Oshawa we have shed 8,000 jobs. Every one of our parts suppliers in Oshawa is ex- periencing job loss. Imagine how it must feel, with 18 to 20 years seniority in one workplace, being tapped on the shoulder that your job is gone.” Mr. Freeman said job secu- rity is indeed the biggest issue. He pointed to the menacing clouds hanging over the crowd and threatening rain as a good metaphor for the uncertainty felt by workers in the manufacturing sector. “I was hoping that today we’d have a nice sunny day, that it’d be nice and hot, but you know, probably the weather is fitting for this occasion,” Mr. Freeman said. Speakers called on companies like General Motors to stop using imported parts for auto assem- bly, which they said is leading to significant job loss throughout the region. In an interview on Monday, GM Canada spokeswoman Patty Faith said supplier selection is based on items like quality, de- livery time, technology and pric- ing. “The recent strengthening of the Canadian dollar has, in some cases, put Canadian suppliers at a disadvantage,” she said. “Having said that, GM sourc- es more parts, based on dollar value, than any other OEM in Canada, representing more than $16 billion last year.” When asked if the company is concerned the worker discontent displayed on the weekend could lead to strikes, Ms. Faith said the company has a collective agree- ment in place. “And there are mechanisms in that document for resolving is- sues,” she added. But the union is promising to continue the pro- test. “This is just the beginning,” Mr. Buckley said. “This is the fight of our lives.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Cycling to make many wishes AJAX — Members of the Big White Mountain cycling team make their way down Westney Road just south of Hwy 7 recently.

So it’s not surprising that increased efficiencies and upgrades at our stations since April 1999 could save enough electricity to power Hamilton for an entire year.

A guide to HEALTH CARE in Ajax and Pickering TO ADVERTISE CALL 905-683-5110 PA GE A3 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ May 30, 2007 A/P Pickering parents hope surgery will help son hear By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Jake Simpson is just like any other kid. The seven-year-old’s favourite book is Curious George. His favourite movies are A Night at the Mu- seum and Flushed Away. He plays with his friends at recess, loves having his best friend over, and his little brother William, 2, follows him around con- stantly. But there’s one difference between Jake and the other children. When his friends want to play a new game, they can’t simply yell that it’s time to switch. They have to look into his eyes and tell him because otherwise he won’t understand. Jake was born at 26 weeks, weighing 1 lb.-8 oz. And when he went through the routine hearing screening for premature babies, his parents had no idea he was deaf. “I think I cried for a couple of days (when I found out),” his mother Paula McLellan said. They also discovered he has a mild form of cere- bral palsy. But luckily, Ms. McLellan and her husband Chris Simpson have found VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children. VOICE prides itself on giving deaf chil- dren a voice. It provides auditory verbal therapy that kids with hearing aids need to learn how to listen and speak, and Jake has benefitted from it. The program lets parents know that children with hearing loss can talk, and offers parent support, auditory-verbal therapy, public education and ad- vocacy. Ms. McLellan now sits on the board of directors and the human resources committee. “Knowing there are other parents who have been through it is the main thing VOICE is about and why it’s important for parents to connect to one another,” she said. May marks Speech and Hear- ing Awareness Month in Canada. Jake’s family is happy for the assistance he receives at Highbush Public School, which he attends in Pickering. For example, the teachers make the children aware of Jake’s needs and a teacher of the deaf works with him twice a week for an hour-and-a-half. “And it’s amazing how much the kids are very accepting,” Ms. McLellan said. But, although Jake’s family has a lot to celebrate, his hearing has decreased over the past five months. He has a malformation in his cochlea and has gone from the moderate-to-severe hearing category to simply severe. He’s exhausted at the end of the day and his mother said lately, it’s seems like he’s a step behind. His father said he thinks Jake sometimes just tunes things out because he can’t hear that well. In order to remedy this problem, Ms. McLellan and Mr. Simpson hope Jake will be accepted for a cochlear replacement at The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto. It will provide a sense of sound, not by amplification like a hearing aid, but by stimulat- ing auditory nerves inside the cochlea with electri- cal impulses. Jake still needs a speech assessment, another audiology appointment and an MRI in order for a team to decide if Jake’s a proper candi- date. “It’s going to give him a tool to do the best he can,” Ms. McLellan said. Mr. Simpson said he’s been asking people to repeat themselves more recently, and thinks the cochlear implant can help him. “Parents whose children have gotten the im- plants are amazed,” he said. The Sick Kids’ program for children who receive the implant requires families to attend pre- and post-implant assessment and therapy. However, children are only covered up until age six through the provincial government’s Infant Hearing pro- gram. Ms. McLellan said therapy costs approxi- mately $100 per hour. She said luckily, the VOICE organization pays for half of the cost and the other half is up to the chapter. “It’s amazing the progress that’s been made, but there’s still gaps,” Ms. McLellan said. She fears if Jake doesn’t get the replacement, he could run the risk of being left behind by his friends. “I don’t like him missing out and I think he’s missing out by not hearing as well as he could, and he could by getting an implant,” she said. But, Jake has worked very hard to be able to listen and talk, and his parents are happy for the progress he has made. “We do everything. We read books, and go for walks,” Mr. Simpson said. “Visually he’s very attuned. He was reading before a lot of the kids in his class. He’ll walk into a room and he’ll notice if something’s changed.” Ms. McLellan also said it’s important Jake under- stands his situation for inquiring minds. “Kids are very curious and innocently say ‘what is that in your ear?’” Ms. McLellan said. And for now, Jake chooses the most colourful ear pieces for his hearing aids, and his friends think that’s kind of cool. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jake Simpson was born with a severe hearing loss and wears hearing aids. His hearing is worsening and will soon require surgery. Due to his age OHIP will not cover his therapy afterwards. With Jake are his mom Paula, dad Chris and little brother William. Ad vocating for a stronger voice AJAX — A Scarborough woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the car in which she was riding was struck by a train Mon- day night in Ajax. Durham police said a Pontiac Grand Prix being driven by an 80-year-old Scarborough man was going over railway tracks at an uncontrolled level crossing on Fairall Street just east of Westney Road around 10:20 p.m. when the collision oc- curred. The Pontiac was hit by a slow-moving CN freight train and pushed off the track, police said. The driver was uninjured but the female pas- senger, 73, sustained serious injuries that are considered non life-threatening, police said.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Airport lands ‘Cannon fodder’ To the editor: Cannon fodder is what we’re feeling this land in north Pickering is about to become. I am reeling after reading Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon’s recent announce- ment that the “Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) has been contracted to complete the previously announced Needs Assessment Study for a poten- tial Pickering Airport.” Are you kidding me!? While they’re at it, why not ask Conrad Black to conduct a needs assessment on whether he should be prosecut- ed. The GTAA’s predetermined results will be vetted by Trans- port Canada, another stakehold- er. TC has been the destructive steward of this land for 35 years. The announcement is an ethical quagmire and an incipient eco- logical disaster. Over the last six months Min- ister Cannon has been sent hun- dreds of letters and e-mails from all across Canada requesting an independent peer review (as had been initiated by his predeces- sor) to examine the GTAA’s ill- advised Second Toronto Airport Plan: so much for a government by and for the people. In almost the same breath he’s saying Transport Canada is spending money to “improve and preserve (an adjacent) piece of Southern Ontario’s eco- system, which provides a natural buffer mitigating impacts of po- tential airport operations.” With ever-diminishing due re- spect, minister, an airport would bludgeon your buffer and doom the last, best-quality farmland in Canada. Be reasonable and responsible; cancel this contract and commission an indepen- dent review. Michael Robertson Land Over Landings Pickering Let’s put incineration under investigation To the editor: To burn or not to burn, that is the question. What are our poli- ticians thinking? Is it a case of uneducated questions resulting in uniformed answers? Have they agreed to incinera- tion without knowledge of the pitfalls? Do they realize proceeding with more incinerators moves us backwards? A look into the future shows a program of diver- sion, the 21st century thinking which will very likely keep us from drowning in our own ef- fluvia. Are they aware that York Region, right around the cor- ner, has succeeded in reducing waste by 10 per cent in the past year through a strong diversion program? That even with incin- eration a landfill is necessary for toxic ash and large items? That Niagara Region recently voted for diversion and against incin- eration? That diversion actually saves money and creates jobs? Why are these sites often planned near existing nuclear facilities, and, incidentally, right next to the rumbling of our local cement plant? We badly need in this prov- ince, a well thought-out and well-integrated waste manage- ment policy. This is the real burning issue of this century. Can anyone tell me how dispose of an old VCR? Pat Irwin Lycett Orono What happened to the old plastic milk jug? To the editor: With all this focus on envi- ronmentally friendly products, I wonder about all these billions of plastic milk bags? What happened to the recy- clable/reuseable plastic milk jug? I assume the bags are easier and/or cheaper to produce. This may be true in the short term, but we now know we should be looking at this in the long term. What are all these bags doing to our already suffering planet? I am asking all milk produc- ers to please give this a lot of thought and replace these bags with something less harmful to our environment or go back to the old recyclable/reuseable jug.

IN THE COMMUNITY Time for a thoughtful column /4& I ’m not sure what I’d do if I came face to face with who- ever invented the concept of time. I don’t know whether I’d shake his hand or sock him in the gut. Is the idea of time, the counting and quantifying of life as it passes by, a good thing or a bad thing? On the one hand it’s always a relief to know that Aunt Edna’s time of departure from the spare bedroom will only be two more days, but on the other, doesn’t knowing exactly how much time I’ve been on this earth precipi- tate a mental and physical state to match that age? Yo u’re only as old as you think you are is a lovely sentiment, until somebody lays a cake down in front of you with enough can- dles on it to light Ontario Place. Suddenly you think you’re pretty old. How much longer and fruit- ful might our life-spans be if we never knew how old we were? Seen that way, phrases like ‘Act your age’ and ‘Grow up’ are tan- tamount to a death sentence. What did we do before the sun-dial? Were we happier be- fore the hourglass came along? I wonder. If we’d never started keeping time, no one would ever be maddeningly late or embar- rassingly early. People wouldn’t be able to wag fingers and say things like ‘I asked you to be here three hours ago!’ They’d have to say ‘I asked you to be here!’ To which you could then answer... ‘I’m here’. There’d be no clocks, no alarms, no over sleeping. There’d just be going to bed and getting up, whenever. Sort of like your first year of college. When you think about it, what good is ‘time’. When we’re hav- ing a bad time it tends to drag on forever and when we’re enjoying ourselves it flies by’. And time is rarely on our side. In fact we willingly become slaves to time. Terminally ill peo- ple who are given ‘x’ amount of time left are frighteningly punc- tual at making their exits. With- out time, patients could never say ‘How long do I have Doc?’ And physicians could never pro- nounce death sentences. They could only say things like ‘Dude, you’re pretty sick’ or ‘Well, you’ll either live or you’ll die’ or ‘Yikes’. All of which are infinitely bet- ter than ‘You’ve got six months’. Why would we ever let anyone else decide how long we can live? Without the concept of time, there exists no past and no fu- ture. There is only and always ‘now’. One cannot have regret for the past or fear of the future if there is only ‘now’. And one can run up a sizeable credit card tab in the now as well. On the down side, it’s hard to procrastinate in the now. People would be constantly after us to get things done ‘now’, to deal with them and their dis- comfiting issues, ‘now’. Handy dodges like, ‘Let’s put it on the backburner’ and ‘I’ll get back to you on that’ or ‘We must get together soon’ would no longer exist. And of course, there’d be no telling how long Aunt Edna would be in that spare bedroom. Hmmm. I may not know who invented time, but I think I can guess why.

Total votes: 217 More Jail Time: 56.2 % Tougher Enforcement: 26.3 % Longer Suspensions: 11.5 % Heavier Fines: 6 % Health-care options give voters choices E lection day is more than four months away but already the battle between John Tory’s Conservatives and Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals is beginning to heat up. One of the key issues which will go a long way toward decid- ing who wins Oct. 10 will be the ever critical concern over health care. Health care is at or near the very top of voter’s minds in nearly every opinion poll. And given the promises made during the 2003 provincial campaign and what’s happened since, the battle between the two traditional ruling parties will be white hot. Yo u can expect Mr. Tory, who wasn’t running the Conserva- tive ship four years ago, to fire away at Mr. McGuinty’s well-pub- licized “I won’t raise your taxes” pledge. Mr. McGuinty, given a tidy majority four years ago, did in fact raise taxes though he called his money-spinner, a health-care premium. With hundreds of dollars paid by Ontarians to the Province each year, Mr. McGuinty says he’s been able to get a handle on wait times. But Mr. Tory has come out swinging and upped the ante on the issue. He recently said that, if elected, he’ll scrap the health care premium, returning $2.6 billion to taxpayers. Not only that, but he vows, even with no premium in place, to spend more money on health care than the Liberals do now. How can he do it? Mr. Tory says that with the surplus gener- ated by the Province -- the Conservative leader says he’s only using projections delivered by the McGuinty government itself -- he’ll invest in better health care. Yo u couldn’t be blamed for being leery of brash promises made by politicians, especially when they are trying to defeat a sitting government. We only have to look at Mr. McGuinty’s track record to be dubious. On the other hand, voters have no reason to believe Mr. Tory won’t keep his word. He has a long and distinguished career in law and public service to draw from. Voters must hold him to account just as they will Mr. McGuinty. Ontarians deserve clear choices between the parties in the upcoming vote. It appears they’ll get that, if the health care de- bate is any indication. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

Every year in Ontario, people are injured needlessly while lighting their barbecues. The correct way to light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning on the gas. When you are fi nished barbecuing, turn off the propane cylinder valve and then the barbecue burners. Always use and store your barbecue and propane cylinder outdoors. For information about cleaning and maintaining your barbecue, read the manufacturer’s instructions. Contact Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628, cityofpickering.com or, email fi re@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about barbecue safety. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the safe use and maintenance of your barbecure.

And, this explains the excitement when the WMRCC received funding recently from the federal govern- ment. “It is our hope to see this violence end, but unfortunately it hasn’t ended,” she said. “But we will contin- ue to do whatever we can to support the women who are in this situa- tion.” On May 23, Minister of Canadian Heri- tage and Status of Women Beverley J. Oda presented the WMRCC with $50,000. Status of Women Canada focuses on improving women’s economic au- tonomy and well-being, eliminating systemic violence against women and children, and advancing women’s human rights. The funding was given to the WMRCC to increase immigrant and racialized women’s knowledge of violence issues. “The government of Canada is proud to fund this initiative, which builds on the centre’s record of ex- cellence in providing over a decade of culturally sensitive support to im- migrant and racialized women,” Ms. Oda said in a press release. The WMRCC is based in Pickering and aims to reduce violence against women, youth and children who have experienced abuse. Since 1993, the WMRCC has of- fered assistance through public edu- cation and direct services, such as group and one-on-one counselling, support groups and workshops. “Through the counselling, we edu- cate women to break the cycle of violence and we also empower them to know their rights as Canadian citi- zens,” Ms. Enyolu said. In an interview, Ms. Oda said Dur- ham’s a great region, with a lot of in- dustry, growth, good jobs, great com- munities and schools. “But we face the same issues and challenges here that families and in- dividuals do right across the country,” she said. “A nd so we need the same support services and organizations.” Ms. Enyolu has worked at the WMRCC for the past 14 years. She said she continues working at the centre because she’s passionate about it, and is rewarded by seeing the change in women from the time they walk through the door to the time they leave. “You can see she will start again to build her self-confidence, to estab- lish herself in the community and to move on,” she said. Ms. Enyolu also emphasized the need for more public education on violence. “We need to educate the commu- nity and we need to start educating children at early years to sensitize them so that we can break the cycle of violence,” she said. For more information on the WMRCC call 905-427-7849 or e-mail info@wmrccdurham.com. Pre-registration takes place June 2 By Scott Bremner Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — When he heard the word “cancer” four years ago, Gra- ham Lockey thought he was going to die. Today, he is a prostate cancer survivor and the chairman of Us Too, a prostate cancer support group. Mr. Lockey is gearing up for the second annual Durham Motorcycle Ride For Dad. On June 9, the mes- sage will be about prostate cancer, detection and treatment of the dis- ease, while riding across Durham Region. “Early detection is the key to suc- cess with prostate cancer because the earlier you get it treated the bet- ter chance you’ve got of surviving,” said Mr. Lockey, a 65-year-old re- tired IBM employee. A ccording to Canadian Cancer Society, “On average, 429 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every week” and 83 men will pass away on a weekly basis. On June 2, from noon until 5 p.m. participants can pre-register for the ride at the Oshawa Centre’s Mark’s Work We arhouse located at 419 King St. W. The company is the national spon- sor of the Motorcycle Ride For Dad. The rides first started in Ottawa seven years ago. This year there are 13 city chapters of the Motorcycle Ride For Dad, including Halifax and Edmonton. Can’t get off work to reg- ister? Then come on down to Mackie Harley Davidson, 880 Champlain Av e., Oshawa, on June 8 from 4:30 until 7:30 p.m. Participants ride for free if they have collected pledges up to $100. Registration is $25 otherwise. People can also register the day of the event, which begins and ends at Mackie Harley Davidson. If partici- pants don’t have a motorcycle they can become Ride Champions and collect pledges. The first 300 people to register will be given a free lunch and are eligible for prizes and a gift bag. Funds from the Durham Motor- cycle Ride For Dad will be given to the Oshawa Hospital Foundation to be used at the Durham Region Can- cer Centre exclusively for prostate cancer research. The money will also be used in Durham Region to educate the com- munity about prostate cancer. In 2006, $26,000 was raised at the first annual Durham ride and 100 motorcycle riders came out to the event. This year’s goal is to raise $50,000 and to have 300 riders take part. Last year’s Celebrity Ride Captains, Rock- in Rod from 94.9 The Rock and CTV’s Joe Tilley, will be on hand again. “It’s wonderful, their support is wonderful,” said Mr. Lockey regard- ing the support of Mr. Tilley, Rod, and local sponsors, including the Dur- ham Region Police Association, Wal- Mart, Scotiabank, and Mackie Harley Davidson as well as other compa- nies. Prostate cancer affects mostly men in their fifties and up. Men should start being checked at age 50. If there is a family history or a person is African Canadian, it is recom- mended that they be checked for the disease as early as 40 years of age. If caught early, 90 per cent of men with prostate cancer survive. For more information about the rides, log onto http://motorcyclerid- efordad.org/.

Since 1986, organizers and donors have been giving their time and money to bring a cancer treatment centre to Os- hawa and on Thursday they got to enjoy the fruits of their labours. “We’ve had tremendous support from the public. This is a dream come true for all of us,” said Chuck Powers, president of the Oshawa Hospital Foundation. “We’ve made history for Oshawa and Durham Region.” Prior to the creation of the centre, local cancer patients had to travel and some- times even relocate to Toronto and other areas for their treatment. Don Blight is the chairman of the Heroes of Hope campaign which raised the community funds for the project and he is happy that such relocation will no longer be neces- sary. “It’s close to home, they can be with their families and they don’t have to travel a long ways. It means so much to a cancer patient,” he said. “We’d like to think we don’t have to have a cancer treatment centre but unfortunately we do, and we’ve worked long and hard at it.” The Heroes of Hope Campaign origi- nally began with a fundraising goal of $16 million but the final amount raised was $42.5 million. Both citizens and corpora- tions like General Motors came through to the best of their ability to make the centre a reality. Representing GM was Neal Macdonald, vice president and gen- eral counsel and he was proud of his company’s contributions. One local family on hand that has been touched by cancer were Whitby residents Ron and Barbara Borchuk, who lost their son to the disease seven years ago. Since then, friends of their son have organized a golf tournament every year to raise funds for the centre and now that it has been completed, an examination room has been dedicated in his name. Beverly Thomson, co-host of Canada AM and a resident of Durham Region, was on hand as MC and was proud to see what her community had accomplished. “I’m continually impressed with peo- ple who dedicate themselves to making the communities better, stronger, and who give of their time,” she said.

Incineration, produc- ing EFW, was identified as the preferred alternative and Clarington has been identi- fied as a possible home for the facility. Six residents, including Ms. Gasser, attended the May 23 meeting of the Re- gion’s finance and adminis- tration committee to apprize members of their concerns. All had attended the May 16 works committee meet- ing to express their opposi- tion to EFW, but added to that their concerns over the potential negative financial implications. Jim Richards, also of Orono, said it was beyond him why the Region was even considering incin- eration as a means of dealing with waste. “Clean alternatives exist and are achievable,” he said. “Clean alternatives are less costly on the natural envi- ronment... on our health and health-care system and clean alternatives are less costly for tax payers. “Why are we not contem- plating the spending of only a portion of what an incin- erator will cost financially and go full steam ahead with clean waste diversion,” Mr. Richards said. The Region’s commis- sioner of works, Cliff Curtis, explained the contingency plan if an EFW facility doesn’t come to fruition would be to purchase landfill capacity. 3 LOCATIONS FOR QUALITY & CHOICE GLASSES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY AJAX OPTICAL Heritage Market Square 145 Kingston Rd.

PAGE A9 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ May 30, 2007 A/P Proposed incinerator would have negative financial impacts: residents say By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Thousands of dollars found concealed in a wall at the Hells Angels clubhouse in Oshawa will be held by the court while the Province pursues a mo- tion to seize the property under proceeds of crime legislation. The cash, along with two Harley-Davidson mo- torcycles owned by club members, is among the as- sets frozen since the Crown moved to seize the notori- ous clubhouse on Ortono Aven ue in central Oshawa, last fall. The seizure of the property coincided with a provincewide crackdown on bikers that saw dozens arrested and two high-rank- ing Angels with Oshawa ties charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Members of the club were in Superior Court in Whitby Monday morning when the Crown made an applica- tion to have the money and motorcycles held pending the outcome of the forfei- ture motion. Crown lawyer James McKeachie told Jus- tice Donald Ferguson the money was found after po- lice moved in to take con- trol of the clubhouse. “The $11,060 was found in a wall cavity in the club- house,” Mr. McKeachie said. The Crown’s application to keep the bikes among frozen biker assets was not opposed by the Harley owners, one of whom was in court Monday. Justice Ferguson ordered the cash deposited with the court pending the outcome of the Province’s motion. Ontario’s Attorney Gen- eral has moved to seize 487 Ortono Ave., under the Civil Remedies Act. The mo- tion could see the property and assets forfeited to the Crown if it can be proven they are proceeds or instru- ments of illegal activity. The Province alleges the club- house was used as a meet- ing place at which bikers plotted crimes. A date has not yet been set for the Hells Angels case to be heard. Meanwhile, a preliminary hearing will resume soon for two high-ranking An- gels caught up in Project Ta ndem, which saw dozens of bikers and associates across Ontario arrested last September. Mark Stephen- son, president of the Os- hawa chapter, and Remond Akleh, a member of the elite Nomads branch and former Oshawa chapter member, are accused of conspiring to murder an underworld rival.

Chartwell’s National Appreciation of Seniors Day To Feature ‘Senior Star’ Singing And Musical Instrument Competition ADVERTISING FEATURE Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT in cel- ebration of Chartwell’s National Appreciation of Seniors Day on June 20, 2007, it is launching a “Senior Star” singing and musical instrument competition and invit- ing Canadian resident seniors to participate as contestants. “With the popular- ity of Canadian Idol and American Idol, which are widely viewed sing- ing competitions aimed at youth, Chartwell be- lieves the seniors’ com- munity should be given a venue to showcase their talents, whether as singers, musicians, or both,” said Steve Suske, Co-CEO of Chartwell’s Seniors Housing REIT. The contest will be held across Canada in Chartwell residences and Seniors Centres. It is open to seniors who are 65 and over and Ca- nadian residents. Con- testants do not have to be living in a Chartwell residence. “The seniors’ com- munity brings a wealth of knowledge, skills and talent. We believe there are singing and musi- cian stars who happen to be over 65. They have the talent, we’ll provide the opportunity.” said Mr. Suske. Eligible seniors who wish to become con- testants may pick up a registration form at their local Chartwell Seniors Housing location as of today, or visit www. chartwellreit.ca to fi nd out more information. On June 20th con- testants will be given a maximum of fi ve minutes to sing a song, play an instrument, or do both, and their performance will be videotaped. Mu- sic accompaniment will be provided to singing contestants, if required. A panel of three judges, made up of musical experts, local govern- ment offi cials, and me- dia representatives, will choose the top three lo- cal contestants, each of whom will be presented with an award. Ten fi nal- ists will be chosen from the fi rst-place local con- testants by a celebrity panel of judges in fall 2007.

In addition to the St. Thomas of Vil- lanova Knights of King City joining the North Conference for the coming season, the Couchiching Terriers have re-entered the league after a one-year hiatus and will once again play in the North Confer- ence, bringing it to nine teams. Villanova, a Catholic independent school, purchased the former Toronto Thunderbirds franchise (on a one-year leave of absence from the league last season) and re-located it to King City. Meanwhile, the Toronto Dixie Beehives have bought the former Oswego (New York) Admirals of the league’s East Conference. The Beehives will join the South Confer- ence, also home to the Pickering Panthers and the Ajax Attack. The Bramalea Blues of the West Conference and the Bancroft Hawks of the East Conference asked for, and were granted, a leave of absence of at least a year by the league’s board of governors. The changes leave the OPJAHL with 35 teams: nine in each of the West, North and South Conferences with eight in the East Conference. The schedule will now be in- tradivisional, with the previous interlocking schedule with the North and South Confer- ence not required. The league decided on a 49-game schedule, which includes the Governor’s Showcase games to be played in Missis- sauga this year from Sept. 22 to 24. [ Boxing ] Decision reversed on Tiller’s fighter AJAX — What had been 3-for-3 at one point ended up 2-for-3. Three fighters with the Ajax-based Tiller’s Boxing Club took part in a card at the Combat Arts Club in Mississauga ear- lier this month. All three had initially won, but one decision was reversed when the judges said they had added up the score wrong, Chris Tiller says. Ahmed Karatella was told he had won his 50-kilogram weight class bout against David Palacios of the Witt Boxing Club. However, “they called us back at the end of the night and my kid lost. They said they tallied it wrong. “They gave my kid the win on a split decision” before the reversal, Tiller notes. It was a rematch of a fight the two had at the recent Ray McGibbon’s Gloves Tournament in St. Catharines. Tiller’s Brandon Cook pounded Clin- ton Rhines into a submission in a 75kg weight class bout. “He knocked him down twice in the third round and his coach stopped it. He beat him with body shots.” Mohammed Awad had a rematch in the 64kg class with Mark Colucci of the Atlas Boxing Club in Toronto. Awad easily won, Tiller says, because Colucci “was running around. The kid wouldn’t fight. In the third round, Mohammed trapped him in a corner and beat him soundly.” All three are on the June 2 card at the KO King Boxing Club in Chatham. In other news, Melinda Watpool will be part of an all-female card at the News Girls Boxing Club in Toronto. Proceeds from the event at to be donated to fight cancer. Watpool fights at 175 pounds (79kg) and “she’s going to the nationals this year. In her last two fights, she won in knockouts in the first round.” Wa tpool, he notes, “has to go south of the border to spar. No one will spar with her up here.” [ Baseball ] Durham high school playoff games set DURHAM — Durham Region high school baseball begins Tier 1 playoff ac- tion today (Wednesday), with several local teams in action.

Dragon Flyers aim for worlds Women’s 50-and-over dragon boat crew ready for big season By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Sunwing Fly- ers have touched down on the calm waters of Frenchman’s Bay again this spring. After a long winter of indoor train- ing, the women’s Grand Master drag- on boat team is almost giddy to be back on the Bay recently, gathering for only its second training session together. After a brief 15-minute stretching session in the early evening, presided over by the Sunwing Fly- ers’ young head coach Chris Todd at Millen- nium Park, the 22-member age 50-and-over team dons life-jackets and assembles in the dragon boat tied to the pier at the ma- rina at the southern tip of Liverpool Road. To dd imparts encouragement to his crew members and, after high- fives all-round, the coach settles in the back of the boat in front of his paddlers, most of whom reside in Durham Region. As the paddles hit the water in a precise cadence, the dragon boat speeds out of the marina and out on to the Bay. Everyone with the Sunwing Fly- ers agrees this coming season in the water will make or break its plans for another shot at world glory. Joan Hunter, entering her third sea- son of paddling with the group and whose husband sponsors the crew through his Sunwing Vacations and Sunwing Airways, says everything this year is geared toward qualifying for next year’s World Club Crew Champi- onships in Penang, Malaysia. “This year, we have to win a place to get to Malaysia next year and we’re working hard to do it,” she says. “We’re committed to it.” Unlike the Flyers’ previous two years, there’s a keen anticipation in the air regarding the coming competi- tive season, says Todd. Being double gold medallists in the newly created Grand Master women’s category at last summer’s International Dragon Boat Federation Club Crew World Championships in Toronto has cre- ated heightened expectations for this season. Te am captain Nancy Jones notes the crew had been competing and losing to much younger teams in 2006, so there was no expectation to win at last year’s worlds. In fact, the overriding concern was not to embar- rass themselves. The Flyers not only didn’t embar- rass themselves, they captured gold medals at the 200-metre and 500- metre distances in the Grand Masters events. Jones recalls attending a team bar- becue last August and the talk turned to competing at the worlds. She noted coach Todd said he would make the necessary calls to Dragon Boat Cana- da if they all signed on. Everyone did. “We had no thought of winning; we weren’t that good,” says Jones. “As I said to the girls, we would finally be racing against all women boats in our age bracket. We went into it not to embarrass ourselves and our coach. We just wanted to finish the races. “It was unbelievable. That’s what has given us incentive for this year. There’s no reason we can’t go to Ma- laysia (in 08).” And, Todd is ensuring his charges are fully prepared for what’s shaping up to be a busy season in the boat for the Sunwing Flyers. In fact, he started preparing the women before the season even began, insisting they do weight training, although some had never pumped iron in their lives. “Because we got more competitive, we needed to be stronger, so we insti- tuted weight training,” says Todd, who also rented time at the Dunbarton High School pool for paddling prac- tice during the winter months. To dd signed on to coach the Sun- wing Flyers two years ago in the most unusual of circumstances. After com- peting and coaching ‘Miller Time’, a dragon Boat team made up of former graduates and friends from William G. Miller Public School in Scarbor- ough, Todd says his mother dared him to coach a group of her friends in dragon boating. “I had coached hockey and soccer, so I had a growing interest in coach- ing, so I was up for it. It was up to them to find the 20 women to fill the boat,” he recalls. Since taking up his mother’s chal- lenge, Todd’s never regretted coach- ing the Flyers. “Their level of commitment is deep. They care a lot about each other. Some of them had never been on a team be- fore. It’s been a positive experience.” Part of the Pickering Dragon Boat Club, the Flyers have their first chance to qualify for worlds at a dragon boat event at Toronto’s Marilyn Bell Park on July 21. Their second and final chance to qualify is at the Canadian Dragon Boat Championships in Cal- gary in August. Along the way, the Flyers will also compete in several other regattas in- cluding this weekend’s home regatta, the Pickering Dragon Boat Challenge on Frenchman’s Bay on Saturday, June 2, as well as ones in Stouffville and Sudbury. Besides being a competitive dragon boat crew, Sunwing Flyers paddlers have varying reasons for joining the team. For most, it’s friendship and exercise. The common denomina- tor, however, is the shared affinity of being out on the water. “I love the camaraderie with the ladies and I love the physical activ- ity,” says Hunter. “I love being on the water and the experience of being on the water. You think of nothing else -- you leave your troubles on the shore.” Rosemary Aiken, of Pickering, says it’s the thrill of competition that’s kept her hooked on dragon boating. In ad- dition to her second season with the Sunwing Flyers, she’s also part of the Pink Sensations, a local dragon boat crew made up entirely of breast can- cer survivors. “I love everything about it. Abso- lutely everything. I could stay on the water all day and all night. It’s very addictive. It’s such an amazing sport,” says Aiken. Helen Noble enjoys being part of a team of like-minded women. The Oshawa resident is in her first year with the Sunwing Flyers after pad- dling three previous years with an- other team in the Pickering Dragon Boat Club. “I like the physical aspect of it -- the enjoyment you get in a positive, fun way. And, it’s nice to paddle with women my own age, says Noble.

Playing their home opener at Pine Ridge Secondary School, the senior Dolphins played a solid first half and then held off the visiting Sudbury Northerners the rest of the way for a 10-8 victory. It’s the first season the Dolphins have fielded a team in the OVFL senior division. The Northerners had a chance to tie the contest as they attempted a two- point convert with 24 seconds remain- ing in the game. They were, however, unsuccessful, thus giving the Dolphins the victory. Dolphins’ head coach Jim Moore says he was pleased with his team’s ball control offence, as well as their ability to keep turnovers to a minimum. “I was really pleased with the effort. We protected the ball well. We abso- lutely won the turnover battle. They turned the ball over on a number of occasions and our offence didn’t turn the ball over that often.” In a game where the Dolphins’ game plan was to run the ball extensively, tailback Ryan Benjamin was a work- horse, having an outstanding first half before going down with injury in the second half. On defence, linebacker Dylan Lock, a standout with the Pickering High School Trojans last season, was a dom- inating presence for the Dolphins. “He was a force all night long,” says Moore. Despite the victory, Moore says he has concerns about the lack of depth of the Dolphins, in light of several injuries to starters in Sunday’s game. “We do have depth problems and we were challenged with that lack of depth as we took some injuries.” Meanwhile, in the junior OVFL con- test between the Dolphins and the Sudbury Northerners, also played Sun- day at Pine Ridge Secondary School, the Dolphins made their season debut with a 53-0 victory. 12 NOON ’TIL 9 PM!THROUGH THEIR SHOWROOMS TOMORROW!

Just click here Driftwood readies itself for another summer tour By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Driftwood Theatre Group is making much ado about something this summer. The group, headed by former Os- hawa resident Jeremy Smith, will be launching another season of summer Shakespeare in July, with numerous stops in parks throughout Durham Region. But it won’t be the same old show this year, said Smith. “It really feels like the beginning of a very, very good season,” he said. First of all, this year’s play is Much Ado About Nothing, a riotous comedy that is an audience favourite to date, he said. It was performed first in 1997. The dueling couple, Beatrice and Benedick are back, along with their friends and families and enemies. But the biggest news relates to the foundations of Driftwood. “The most exciting news we have is we were recently approved for an On- tario Trillium capital expenses grant,” Smith said. “It will all go towards refreshing Driftwood, putting a new face on Driftwood, a face lift. For the first time in our history, we’ll be perform- ing with our own sound and lighting equipment and with our own staging. It is incredible for us. We’re calling it our home-away-from-home pro- gram.” The new staging is lighter, alumi- num, slip- and weather-proof. It’s also set for theatre in the round. “A udiences this summer will be enjoying Shakespeare in the round. The audience will be sitting on all four sides of the stage. This frees up both the performers and the direc- tor (Smith) to make more use of the three-dimensional aspects,” Smith said. “It’s going to be the first play I’ve directed in the round.” The new stage will mean a much more intimate experience for actors and audience. “The sight lines are going to be bet- ter, the sound is going to be better.” So will the lighting which will also be more environmentally friendly. The special funding means Driftwood can take advantage of new technology - LED lighting. This new system will use one-tenth the electricity as stan- dards ones do, he said, a bonus since stage lights use tremendous amounts of power. “From a green perspective ... our productions are going to change con- siderably. It’s not something people are really going to notice but it’s something to take note of.” The lighting system won’t be using gels for coloured lights anymore, since the colour system is in the lighting system. The new staging, lighting and sound systems will be transported in a bus purchased last year by Driftwood and called the Bard’s Bus. It too will get a makeover with tweaks to the ward- robe, some drop-down tables and mirrors for wardrobe and makeup. As for the play, it’s getting a new look, too. Much Ado About Nothing, with its ingredients of disdain, slan- der, death and love, will be set in post- First World War central Canada and feature the music of the period, in- cluding Pack Up Your Troubles, Thou Swell and Alexander’s Ragtime Band, arranged and performed by Kevin Fox and Tom Lillington. “It was a really exciting time in Ca- nadian history,” Smith said. The war had helped shaped the country, helped give it its own iden- tity, he said. As Much Ado starts with men returning from a conflict, with the malicious Don John and his brother Don Pedro in conflict, the Ca- nadian angle worked just fine, Smith said. Don John, returning from conflict, can’t leave it behind him and we get the idea he rose up against his brother somehow, Smith said. Smith is using a bit of Canadian history to explain this. When the First World War was over, Canadian soldiers were posted to Germany for months before being shipped to England where they waited for their return home. Due to short- age of ships, regiments had to await their turn, with some of those which had served longest often waiting the longest, Smith said. Since this was al- most a year after the war’s end, many men were upset. There was actually a revolt, put down by regimental police and “loyal soldiers,” Smith said. He pictures Don Juan as one of those who revolted and Don Pedro as one of the loyal soldiers. While Don John is seen as a villain, Smith looks deeper. “It is of interest to me to explore the character of Don John as a tragic antagonist, a product of the bloodiest conflict in Canada’s history, a solder unable to escape its horrors unlike Claudio, his antithesis, who wants only to leave the past behind him by embracing love and happiness and companionship.” Don Juan is the product of war, he said. But it’s not all tragedy. There’s the comic bickering of Benedick and Bea- trice and things end well, for most people anyway. “They really do have the last lines,” Smith said of Benedick and Beatrice. “It is a play about love and honour. It really is a celebration in the end because the good guys do win out. We’re looking forward to a really, re- ally entertaining show which has a good base of rich, historical fact.” Smith added he hopes people, if they support what Driftwood is doing -- making quality theatre accessible to everyone -- spread the word about the theatre company and encourage other people to attend. In the last year, four Shakespeare companies have folded, leaving Driftwood as one of the few al- ternate Shakespeare voices left, Smith said. Much Ado About Nothing features many Driftwood favourite actors and some new ones. Returning are Ste- ven Burley, in his 12th season, as Don John/Balthasar/Dogberry, Mark Crawford, one season with Drift- wood, as Antonio/Verges, Bethany Jil- lard, two seasons with Driftwood, as Hero/Conrade, Christopher Kelk, in his second season, as Leonato, Peter Nicol, seven season with Driftwood, as Don Pedro/First Watch, and An- drew Scanlon, in his second season, as Benedick. New to Driftwood are Daniel Briere as Borachio/Friar Francis/Messen- ger, Jennifer Finestone as Margaret/ Sexton, Helen King as Beatrice and Benjamin Mehl as Claudio/Second Watch. Those who attended the first May- or’s Luncheon for the Arts in Oshawa recently got a sneak preview with Scanlon and King performing three scenes as Benedick and Beatrice. Performances this summer run from July 13 to Aug. 12, sponsored by Ontario Power Generation, with all performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. An opening night gala, with catered reception where the audience can meet the cast and crew, will be held July 17 at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa.

Racing at Cayuga Speedway Park in Hagersville, southwest of Ham- ilton, in the new Canadian racing series’ debut, Joey McColm, aboard his No. 50 ATTO Insurance Dodge Charger, finished eighth in the 23-car field. McColm’s father, Kevin, notes ev- eryone associated with the racing team, including his chief sponsor AT TO, was ecstatic with the eighth- place result. Don Thomson Jr. was the race win- ner at the end the 200-lap race on the 5/8th-mile oval course. McColm, 21, started from 16th spot in the field, working his way up to eighth at the checkered flag. He picked up 142 points in the process. McColm, in a previous interview, says his goal for the Canadian Tire NASCAR series season is to win rook- ie-of-the-year honours. “There’s going to be a few of us competing for the rookie title, so we’ll need to be near the top every race,” said McColm. “To win rookie of the year is a big deal. It’s something to strive for as a rookie team.” McColm raced in the CASCAR se- ries last year, which was bought out by NASCAR over the off-season. The next race on the series’ calen- dar is at Mosport International Race- way in Clarington on June 16 and 17. OPEN HOUSE SECTION Looking to Buy?

Whiz Kids’ g ymnasts soar at Springfest competition AJAX — Yo u could call Samuel Cirone the Lord of the Rings -- and a few other apparatus -- at the 2007 Springfest Gymnastics Meet in Brampton on May 19. A member of the Ajax-based Dur- ham Whiz Kids Gymnastics Acad- emy, Cirone, of Oshawa, captured gold medals on the rings, vault, par- allel bars and the high-bar events in the seven- and eight-year-old cat- egory. Meanwhile, Troy Davidson, also of Oshawa, won silver on vault and placed ninth overall in the nine- and 10-year-old age group. Daniel Newth, of Ajax, won silver on paral- lel bars and placed 10th overall in the same category. Cameron Namek, of Pickering, had a good performance in the 11- and 12-year-old category, placing eighth overall. Chris Weiler, of Whitby, was fourth overall in the 13-and-over age group, winning a silver medal on high bar. BRITISH TRAINED Carpenter.

As the under-12 and under-14 teams paraded into Esther Shiner Stadium in North York, the crowd roared with excitement and anticipation. Team captains came forward to draw the country they would represent for the weekend. The Tigers hoped for and drew Brazil. Being under the Brazil banner served the Pickering boys’ well as they swept through round-robin and semi- final action, winding up the divisional final against Croatia (USC Lions). In the end, the faster and more skilled Brazilians outscored the Croatians 5-1 to claim the 2007 Little World Cup. Brazil faced Argentina in the semi- final, with Brazil having little trouble advancing to the final. No score for the playoff game was provided. Once the draw was made the teams learned who their opponents would be. Brazil opened up with a match against Croatia (USC Lions), followed by England (Armour Heights) and Par- aguay (our brother team the Pickering Demons). After a long day Brazil won all three games, outscoring its oppo- nents 9-1. Brazil (Pickering Tigers) are: Philip Palmer, Malcolm Shaw, Meschach Green, CJ Garcia, Jeremy Nastich, Mateo Haza, Cameron Rodrigues, Robert Mauro, Daniel Hoggar, Jamie Reece, Matthew Hughes, Aydan Nan- koosingh, Nathan Findley, Dustin Gi- glio, Greg Wise, Deshaun Crawford and Dillon Roopnarine. Jeff Nastich, Walter Garcia, John Hughes and Brian Rodrigues coach the Tigers. THOUSANDS OF NEW BOOKS GREAT KIDS TITLES, COOKING, HEALTH & MORE!! 570 Kingston Rd.
