What could you buy with $567 million? More money for salaries, primary class spaces, and teachers as public board passes budget By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Without dispute, the Durham District School Board ap- proved its more than $567 million operating, and $11 million capital 2007/2008 balanced budget. At $22 million more this year, the budget includes: extra funds for in- creased salaries and contracts within the provincial compensation frame- work; portables and teachers to ac- commodate the Province’s plan to have 90 per cent of primary classes with a maximum of 20 students by the 2007-2008 school year; a two per cent funding increase for transportation costs, and site purchases for potential future elementary schools. “As I said before, thank you to ev- eryone,” said Pickering Trustee Chris Braney, finance chairman, referring Only Available at these locations Pickering Town Centre (905) 420-0744 Taunton & Harmony Plaza (905) 438-0744 FREE!+ Nokia HS-26W Bluetooth Headset with this coupon!

In a pre-election move that is being applauded by the Canadian Auto Work- ers union and representatives from the auto sector, the gov- ernment is earmarking the money for grants to companies that want to invest in the devel- opment of clean cars, fuels and technologies. “We are doing this because there is a tremendous opportunity before us with most of the world looking for innovat- ing ways to conserve energy and fight global warming,” Mr. McGuinty said. “Someone out there is bound to make a lot of money and some place is bound to create a lot of jobs by researching and developing solutions. We want that money. We want those jobs. And we want them here in Ontario.” The funding will be available over five years not only to auto makers, but also to manufacturers who work in the auto supply chain, he added. It will also support environmental advances in energy production, forestry and agri- culture. The basic criteria to qualify for the funding is simple: the company must secure good jobs for Ontarians and re- Staff and students will miss long-time teacher once she retires By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — As Mae Price stood among the toys, activity stations, desks and chairs at Colwell Nursery School in Pickering, she said she hasn’t been thinking about her final day of teaching before she retires. “This is the last time I’ll be doing it,” she said. “I’m on an emotional roller coaster right now.” Ms. Price, supervisor and teacher at the school, has been there for the past 21 years, and her final day is June 22. Although the school caters to children aged two-and-a-half to five years old, she spent most of her time with those in Kindergarten. “But I’ll always go down and visit the younger ones,” she said. Ms. Price didn’t originally choose early childhood education as a ca- reer. When she used to volunteer at her daughter’s daycare, she de- cided it was the right field for her. So she went back to school and began her journey of teaching children. It wasn’t much of a challenge; she said she’s always found herself connect- ing with children really well. “It just feels natural,” she said. Another teacher at Colwell, Lee Scriven, agrees, and said “the chil- dren absolutely adore her.” And she should know. She knew Ms. Price from the days her own children attended Colwell Nursery and had her as a teacher. Ms. Scriven began teaching at the nursery school 10 years ago. “She’s really great to work with and wonderful with the children,” she said. Ms. Price said something she’ll miss very much is seeing the chil- dren become involved in various projects. For example, she said the children are really catching onto re- cycling. She and the other teachers will tell the children they’re saving trees by not using paper towels. So now they simply shake the water off their hands, quite happy about the fact they’re helping the trees. And the children helped her. As a breast cancer survivor, she is thank- ful for the school, just as much as everyone is thankful for her. She was diagnosed twice with the disease in 1996 and 2004 and she said the staff and students made it much easier for her to get on with her days. She said when she’d come through the front door, her worries would fade into the background since she had a job she enjoyed very much. “It’s a really good place to be,” she said. “The people are wonderful.” When it comes to what she’ll with her spare time once she retires , Ms. Price said, “I’ve been so involved in fundraising I haven’t thought be- yond that.” She was speaking of her dragon boat team, the Pink Sensations, which will go to Australia in Septem- ber to participate in a race promot- Green and clean in Durham Class is out for Mae ✦ See Board, Page A2✦ See Investment, Page A2 Ron Pietroniro / News Advertiser photo Mae Price, the supervisor of the Colwell Nursery School, is retiring after 21 years of service.

Board superintendent Paul Pulla is replacing Patricia Manson as director of education, following her secondment to the ministry of education, announced the Durham Catholic District School Board at a special June 18 meeting. Mr. Pulla begins his new position Aug. 1. “Mr. Pulla, a graduate of the Durham Catholic District School Board, brings with him over 30 years experience as a Catholic ed- ucator,” said Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, chairwoman of the board, in a press release. Since 1998, Mr. Pulla has been a super- intendent of education with the Durham Catholic District School Board. His portfolio includes being principal of St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School in Pickering, teach- ing and administrative experience in the elementary and secondary panel. He’s also worked closely with community partners such as Durham College, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, and Durham Regional Police to imple- ment new programs and initiatives for students. Mr. Pulla lives in Oshawa with his wife and is multi-lingual.

The budget was ap- proved at the board’s June 18 meeting. The board is getting 32 more elementary positions for the primary class size reduction initiative and in- creased teacher prep time. Another eight secondary school positions will also be added for the Province’s student success initiatives. Portable acquisitions worth $2.25 million will be funded through capital reserves on an interim basis. “When I look at $2.2 million going into portables... that concerns me and I think it’s something we as a board should lobby the government for,” said Whitby Trustee John Dolstra. He added he counted the por- tables in Whitby and they equal about 2,400 students housed in them. “The other thing that concerns me is there was $101,000 in the budget that was put aside for OPSBA (Ontario Public School Board Association),” said Trustee Dolstra. He added he has a big problem pay- ing OPSBA for last year when they didn’t do anything - if the board decides to rejoin. Craig Burch, director of education, said he be- lieves Trustee Dolstra is talking about money in the budget for this year. Mr. Burch said he spoke to someone from OPSBA and let them know Durham’s not interested in paying the $100,000 for last year be- cause it didn’t use any of its services. He requested a reply in writing from OPSBA to Durham’s decision not to pay. Mr. Burch said he didn’t discuss fees for this year, but assumes if the board rejoins, it would pay its fees for this coming year. “As I made it clear, the board would not look kindly on receiving a bill for $100,000,” said Mr. Burch. The budget was approved with no opposition or other discussion. duce greenhouse gas emissions. But the government is also looking for investments that will help to establish Ontario as a global leader in this emerging market and build on existing expertise in areas in which Ontario has a strong research and com- mercial base or that creates new expertise. David Paterson, the vice-president of GM Canada, said funding such as this is important because it fosters partnerships that keep investment coming into the high-tech auto industry. “This keeps the ball rolling,” Mr. Paterson said in an interview. “We live in a competitive world where other jurisdictions in the United States and around the world are all offering these types of supports. “Automotive investment is the most valuable invest- ment you can get because of the supply chain that comes with it.” With a hydrogen fuel-cell car already being built in the GM Oshawa Engineering Centre and hybrid pickup trucks set to come off the adjacent truck assembly line next year, the investment will encourage General Mo- tors to stay at the forefront of environmental technol- ogy, Mr. Paterson added. Although he would not give specifics, he said that the new Oshawa flex line -- which is currently set to produce the Chevrolet Camaro in late 2008 -- will be looking for green technology investment. “We’d like to see other vehicles for the future in this building,” he said, adding that, “at the end of the day we want to get our share of green technologies and we want mostly to get our share of investment.” Buzz Hargrove, president of the Canadian Auto Workers union, used the announcement as an oppor- tunity to slam the federal government’s so-called “fee- bate” program that rewards purchases of fuel-efficient cars and penalizes those who buy inefficient vehicles. He said the federal government’s program encour- ages Canadians to buy vehicles made in Japan and Korea and puts CAW members out of work. “Compare that to what we are doing here this morn- ing where we are going to strengthen our industry while we deal with the environmental problem that we all face,” he added. “Thank you very much for this initiative. It is a won- derful initiative.” Modelled after the government’s $500 million On- tario Automotive Strategy, the new funding will be flexible -- allowing for grants, loans, forgivable interest loans, infrastructure building, research and training programs.

In May of 2006 the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) was approved by the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Planning and Development Act. Seaton is the urban community identifi ed in the CPDP. The policies within the CPDP establish the need for the preparation of a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) prior to development occurring within the Seaton Community. North Pickering Community Management Inc. will conduct the Seaton Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) with assistance from the City of Pickering and the Province of Ontario. The Seaton MESP will address the following components needed for development to occur, as identifi ed in the CPDP: • Identify requirements for water source protection; • Conduct a water balance on a subwatershed basis; • Conduct an erosion sensitivity analysis for receiving watercourses; • Promote maintenance and enhancement of the fi sheries; • Prepare a stormwater management master plan; • Confi rm municipal service requirements; • Confi rm the major transportation system requirements; • Identify the number and general location of major community facilities; • Provide preliminary servicing cost estimates for infrastructure; • Identify an interconnected network of pedestrian, bicycle and multi-use trails; and, • Identify existing and proposed major utility requirements. Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (MEA Class EA) The MESP shall fulfi ll the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (MEA Class EA). At a minimum the MESP will address Phases 1 and 2 of the MEA Class EA for all non-Regional road, water and wastewater projects. Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects of the following: • Engineering and Public Safety • Social/Cultural Environment • Natural Environment • Economic Environment Public Consultation Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Three (3) Public Information Centres will be scheduled over the next year. These meetings will provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior to completion of the study and selection of a preferred solution. It should be noted that the Region of Durham will also be conducting concurrently a Class Environmental Assessment relating to the Regional Services and Roads necessary for the development of the Seaton Community.

Chief Ewles, who grew up in Os- hawa and has served a quarter-century with the Durham service in a variety of capacities, was officially sworn in as fellow officers, politicians and citizens of the region looked on Tuesday morning at police headquar- ters in Whitby. He replaces outgoing chief Vernon White, who served a year and a half as top cop in Durham before taking over as chief of Ottawa police. Chief Ewles said he’s ready to guide the service, con- centrating on efficient use of police resources and a focus on the root causes of crime in the community. Working with community agencies and gov- ernment will help further that goal, he said. “I believe it is Durham Region’s time and it is Durham Region’s place to put ourselves forward and seize the oppor- tunities that lie ahead,” he said. “Our commitment will make Dur- ham Region the safest place to live, work and play, provided we have the right people in the right places.” Chief Ewles vowed a relationship of “trust and depth of character” with the officers serving under him. The new chief, the first hired from within the service since Trevor McCa- gherty in 1993, was chosen from among candidates from across the country, said Police Services Board Chairman Terry Clayton. “I’m delighted to say we found the right person here in Durham,” he said. The event was marked with all the pageantry one would expect, with a police honour guard and pipe band. Of- ficers decked out in dressed uniforms saluted their new chief and offered up three cheers for the departing Mr. White. Chief Ewles, 46, was born in Scarborough and raised in Oshawa. He’s spent his policing ca- reer with Durham, working in every community in the region and serving in tactical support, the Duty Inspector’s office, Criminal Investigations Branch and employee services. Ewles assumes command of Durham Regional Police Mike Ewles AJAX — An impatient bandit who bolted from an Ajax store when a clerk took too long to comply with demands for cash was busted soon after the rob- bery attempt early Saturday. Officers responding to the robbery call at the 7-11 outlet on Harwood Av- enue at Rossland Road shortly before 8 a.m. took a teenaged suspect into custody after a brief foot chase, police said. Police said a masked suspect de- manded cash, but became frustrated when the clerk took too long opening the register. The flustered bad guy knocked a number of items from the counter onto the floor and then bolted from the building, police said. He was spotted a few blocks away and nabbed after a foot chase. Cops seized a black mask and a large kitch- en knife during the arrest. A 17-year-old Ajax youth is charged with robbery, wearing a disguise and possession of a dangerous weapon. Flustered bandit nabbed after foot chase durhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group For more on this story Durham’s oldest seniors club turns 45 By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — When Rhoda Sheldon lost her husband in 1996, it took her a few years of sitting around the house before she chose to find an out- let. But then she joined the Rouge Hill Seniors Club. “It was a lifesaver at the time,” she said. It was five years ago, and Ms. Sheldon was elected president two years later. On Feb. 19, 2007, the club marked its 45th an- niversary, choosing to mark the event only re- cently since the club got a new sign at its home base, the Petticoat Creek Community Centre. “It was a lovely cel- ebration; a lovely after- noon,” she said. The seniors club of- fers a number of activi- ties for its approximately 75 members. They meet the first and third Thursday of every month, and always hold a potluck on the third Thursday. On Wednesdays and Fridays they have darts and carpet bowling and play euchre every Friday night. They have a lun- cheon with Community Care once a month, pick up seniors who cannot usually get out (both members and non- members) and serve them lunch. “(Community Care) supplies it; we do every- thing else,” Ms. Sheldon said. The majority of fund- raising is through ba- zaars held every spring and Christmas, where the club sells everything from crafts to white el- ephant items. Mayor Dave Ryan, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs, Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague and Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland were among the guests cele- brating the anniversary. “It was great,” Mr. Hol- land said. “It’s the oldest seniors club in Durham Region. It’s a phenom- enal club.” Mr. Holland believes social outlets for all people are important for their health, well-being and quality of life. “I think for all of us, we need the opportunity to come together and have social experiences,” he said. But, he said for se- niors in particular, it’s good for them to have an outlet due to the feeling of isolation a number of them experience. Ms. Sheldon agrees, and said the group will even pick members up who don’t drive to en- sure they get to partici- pate in events, such as bus trips to Woodbine Racetrack, since “some of them are very isolat- ed. “I think seniors need some place to meet and go,” she said. “Otherwise they stay in their houses and don’t go out. “It’s important people go out.” Florence Day is one member who has taken advantage of the seniors club for the past 35 years as its longest-attending member. “She’s an inspiration to all of us,” Ms. Sheldon said. Ms. Day turns 99 in August, but still plays euchre with the others every Friday night. “They seem to think I’m good, but I don’t win,” she said with a laugh. When another club she belonged to closed down she was persuad- ed by others to join. She remembers when she first joined, meet- ings were held in a little brick house, which the club shared with the Pickering Lions Club, on the property where the community centre is today. She also remembers a lot of teas being served back then, including one on St. Patrick’s Day. “Everything they could serve tea at, they did,” she said. She said it is and al- ways has been a nice group and “everyone is just so friendly and co- operative.” For information on the club, meetings or events, 905-420-4660 ext. 6100. NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION FORUMS SOUTHEAST COLLECTOR TRUNK SEWER INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Regarding lands in Markham, Toronto and Pickering The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) and the Regional Municipality of Durham (Durham Region) will hold two Public Information Forums (PIFs) at the following locations to allow interested persons to comment on the recent project activities undertaken for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Individual Environmental Assessment (IEA): Date June 26, 2007 Date June 27, 2007 Time: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Time: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Presentation at 7:00 p.m. Presentation at 7:00 p.m. Location: Pine Ridge Secondary School Location: Cedar Brae Golf and Country Club 2155 Liverpool Road North 6431 Steeles Avenue East Pickering, ON Scarborough, ON As part of undertaking the IEA, Public Information Forums (PIFs) were previously held in Pickering and Markham in June 2006 to present the Recommended Alternative to the Undertaking, and a “long list” of alternative sewer routes through the study area. Since that time, York and Durham Regions have carried out a number of project activities that have lead to the identification of a recommended sewer route. The recommended route begins just north of Box Grove in the Town of Markham and follows along 14th Avenue to Townline Road. The proposed route then turns south and follows Townline Road to the Hydro corridor, where it travels east along the Hydro corridor to Liverpool Road. It then travels south on Liverpool Road to Finch Avenue. It continues east on Finch Avenue and ends at Valley Farm Road in the City of Pickering (see map). With this route in mind, the proposed trunk sewer will be tunneled underground the entire length. Another round of PIFs is being held as noted above to allow interested persons to comment on project activities, including: • Screening of the “long list” of thirteen alternative sewer routes to a “short-list” of five routes • Evaluation of the five “short-listed” routes • Recommended sewer route (see map) • Recommended water efficiency and inflow/infiltration reduction measures The existing Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer is an integral component of the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS). York and Durham Regions are undertaking the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer IEA to address the additional sanitary sewer flows projected from future growth as allowed for in York Region’s Official Plan. Durham Region is a co-proponent with York Region on the Individual Environmental Assessment since a portion of the study area is within Durham Region, and both Regions are co-owners of the existing Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer within Durham Region. Comments and information regarding this IEA are being received from the public to assist York and Durham Regions in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project, and may be included in project documentation. Comments and information received will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Your participation is an important part of the process and we welcome your input. We encourage you to attend either one of the PIFs to review the materials available and provide any comment or information that you have with regard to the project. A copy of the Synopsis Report on the “Recommended Sewer Route”, as well as other background information, is available on the project website: http://sec.cenet.ca. Reference copies of this background information are also available for viewing at the Pickering Central Library, Malvern District Library, and Unionville Library, as well as at York Region Headquarters and Durham Region Headquarters. Additional information on this IEA can also be obtained by contacting one of the project team members listed below. Written comments on the recent project activities should be submitted to one of the following team members by July 13, 2007.

Right now OPG nuclear plants deliver 31% of the electricity that Ontario needs from small pellets like this. In fact, eight of these tiny uranium fuel pellets contain enough energy to power an average Ontario home for almost a year. And all that electricity produces virtually none of the emissions that contribute to smog, acid rain or global warming. It’s exactly the kind of electricity Ontario needs to meet the continuing power demands of the province.

For example, taxes increased once again, but he was able to explain the reasoning to the public, with a knack for explaining complex matters in layman’s terms. Introducing a series of Town Ha ll meetings, the first was successful, drawing many residents with con- cerns, questions and prais- es. He’s an effective leader, and is able to control Coun- cil when debates become heated. He continues to promote responsible growth and business development in Pickering. Attendance: Council 22/22, Executive committee 11/11, Regional 17/20 Expenses: Local $14,791 Region $1,783.70 Jennifer O’Connell Ward 1 City Councillor Last year: NA Coun. O’Connell is new to politics and is just get- ting used to council pro- ceedings. Although she asks a number of ques- tions at meetings, it’s im- portant she understands before voting on items. It’s always evident she does her homework before meetings. She’s not afraid to voice her concerns at meetings and won’t back down easily. This year she’s advocated for the banning of pesticides, and has acted on concerns from residents experienc- ing problems with train tracks in her ward. Attendance: Council 14/15, Executive committee 8/8 Expenses: $10,500 David Pickles Ward 3 City Councillor Last year: B Coun. Pickles has a pas- sion for his community which is very evident. He’s shown initiative in pro- moting better access for low-income families to the Pickering Recreation Complex and sits on many committees and boards, such as the Roadwatch Committee and the Duf- fins Creek Watershed Tas k Force. It’s hard to bend Council’s arm, but it would be good to see his ideas pushed through. He’s usu- ally vocal at meetings, and his vast environmental knowledge is evident. Attendance: Council 22/22, Executive committee 11/11 Expenses: $10,832 Bonnie Littley Ward 1 regional councillor Last year: NA Coun. Littley stands strong on many issues, such as the environment, local farmland and the proposed Pickering Air- port. She is quickly catch- ing on to council proceed- ings and offers suggestions on a number of issues. She is a member of many committees and boards, such as the Accessibility and Seaton advisory com- mittees. She’s also had a role in bringing forward amendments in regard to the airport, asking for an open and public review process, and was success- ful encouraging others to agree. Attendance: Local council 15/15, Executive committee 7/8, Region 15/21 Expenses: Local $296 Region NA Rick Johnson Ward 3 regional councillor Last year: B- Coun. Johnson’s ex- penses have continually decreased. He has such strong passion for his community and a wealth of knowledge that it’s hard to get anything past him. His passion can make him a little excited at meetings, but he often balances that out by adding humour and colour as well. He’s firm in regard to his beliefs and projects, and will fight for something if he thinks he can make a difference. He’s firm in his belief in pre- serving heritage sites and pushes for road improve- ments throughout the city.

McLean stays on topic at meetings and has strong beliefs. Last year, we said it would be interest- ing to see what comes of the Bay Ridges Plaza issue. Although given the go- ahead, it seems he’s been responding to the commu- nities’ remaining concerns, and is quick to respond to residents in general. He’s been an advocate for Com- munities in Bloom as co- chairman of the advisory committee, and has been persistent in pushing for election sign bans on arte- rial roads. Attendance: Council 19/22, Executive commit- tee 10/11, Region 21/23 Expenses: Local $8,268 Region $2,116.99 Doug Dickerson Ward 2 City Councillor Last year: B Coun. Dickerson heard some criticism when he admitted to three lost or stolen Blackberries and his increasing expenses. That said, he’s ver y involved in his community and knows issues not only in his ward, but all across the city. He is able to find possible con- flicts with proposed ideas, and doesn’t back down easily when he believes in something. He’s shown in- teresting initiative in urg- ing the ban of trans fats and advocating for seniors, and continues to be active as chair of the Sustainable Pickering Advisory Com- mittee.

LEGEND GOES Regional chairman Last year: B- There was no shortage of controversial issues at Regional Council this term and sitting at the centre of it all was Chairman Roger Anderson. Arguments over Greenbelt boundaries, the direct election of the Region’s top spot and future plans for energy-from-waste garnered widespread atten- tion and pinned some not-so-flattering labels on Mr. Anderson. He has been painted as gruff and controlling. Mr. Anderson may be brusque and keep a tight rein on council, but he is also a man with a clear plan for what Durham Region needs to succeed. Plans, if accomplished, will arguably make this region the best place to live in the Greater Toronto Area. He has launched an all out war with the provin- cial government to strengthen and integrate Dur- ham Region Transit and has his sights set on high occupancy vehicle lanes and light rail. Transit initiatives along with energy efficien- cy programs and the tremendous success of the green bin, all accomplished under the chairman’s watch, have made Durham a more environmentally friendly place. Mr. Anderson strives to ensure balanced growth and livable communities through job creation. This was the crux of the Greenbelt debate – he wants more jobs for the communities here. With the issue that drew the most public debate this year, the continuation of the Lord’s Prayer at council meetings, Mr. Anderson proved he was listening to the residents by inciting a creative solu- tion, which allowed the practice to continue while staying inside legal boundaries. He sees the Region as a place with unlimited potential and despite his sometimes-curt behavior you can trust he is fighting for what he truly believes is best for Durham Region and its residents.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No reason for landmarks to disappear To the editor: I can no longer suppress a cry of, ‘Shame on You, Cana- da’! as I witness the ongoing disappearance of landmarks along Brock Road, Conces- sion 8, and in Brougham. I am speaking about the destruc- tion of houses by Transport Canada to make way for the, as yet unapproved, (unwanted and unnecessary), Pickering airport. The first harbinger of death is an ominous black, white and red sign: “Transport Canada, No Trespassing.” It is like the mark of the plague, advertising that death is im- minent. This annihilation of local properties is the exter- mination of a way of life. In es- sence it is rural genocide. The second visible sign is decay, as properties are boarded up, and the next is really no sign at all, as in the blink of an eye the properties have been flat- tened. These are not impersonal, material structures, or empty shells. They are homes with a heartbeat, living organisms within which people and fam- ilies loved and lived, shared and created life memories. They deserve more respect than to be stomped on and crushed, like inconsequen- tial, annoying, pests. Why are our communi- ties, so rich in heritage, being obliterated? Why is our pre- cious farmland being wiped out? Why is our clean country air in danger of becoming pol- luted? There can never be an an- swer that could justify any of the above actions. The trav- esty is that the answers being voiced are pathetic in their transparency. This is not tak- ing place in the name of prog- ress, necessity, or survival; it is all about politicians saving face, demonstrating the power of autocratic rule (GTAA). Shame on everyone in- volved in this despicable, au- tocratic and self-serving pro- cess! Angie Robertson Pickering Woman with disability appreciates help To the editor: Re: Accessibility affects all of us. I have just read your ar- ticle regarding comments ut- tered by Mari-Lynn Cordahi, a member of Durham Region Accessibility advisory commit- tee. She states that people should not help the disabled without asking first. She claims that with the Disabilities Act we should not need assistance. I am a disabled senior who suffers from chronic pain. I require the use of a cane or a stroller when I am well enough just to get out of the house. I have often spoken to fam- ily and friends about how nice and helpful people are, open- ing doors, helping me to reach items off a shelf etc. My only complaint is for those who use the disability parking spots without a sticker, forcing me to walk further than needed, especially in the icy weather. So, Ms. Cordahi does not speak for me please. I need all the help I can get and it is very much appreciated. I am sure I can say that many people with disabilities will agree with me. Lorna Stoddart Ajax Motorists need to watch for walkers To the editor: I’m a senior and do a lot of walking to do my shopping etc. I notice a lot of drivers (not all!) don’t give right of way to pedestrians who are waiting to cross at traffic lights. Either they don’t see us be- cause they are so busy talking on their cell phones, or they need to go back and take more driving lessons. Please look out for us!

Parents must own up to responsibilities Funeral parlour no time to start parenting I ’m starting to feel a bit like the Lorax. Only, instead of the trees, I speak for the kids. The good kids. The sweet kids. The happy kids. Kids who don’t make the headlines. While, as a parent, I absolute- ly understand where it comes from, I am so weary of hearing and reading about all the “good, sweet,” even “spirited” kids who are killing themselves and others in shoot-outs, gang-hits and 150 kph stolen car chases. My heart breaks for anyone who loses a son or daughter, but I think something needs clarify- ing; these are not “good, sweet” or “spirited” kids. These are angry, mad, disil- lusioned and terribly off-track children. And they weren’t born that way. With the possible ex- ception of Caligula and Simon Cowell, no children are born that way. Ladies and gentlemen, the fu- neral is the wrong time to start parenting. I don’t doubt that all these parents dearly love their lost children. I’m sure the loss of that child will haunt them all the days of their lives, as it should. But parenting is a verb. It requires action. It’s hard. Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Raising a child is not some- thing one dabbles in or does as a hobby or for kicks. It is work. The pay-off, once you’ve done the work, once you’ve made the sac- rifices, once you’ve put the time in, once you’ve made the hardest choices of your life, is a good kid, a sweet kid, a happy kid... even a spirited kid. Good parenting is not a fac- tor of economic, social or even racial lines. To say it is is to slap in the face every mother, father and grandparent who ever worked their butt off to bring lovely chil- dren into this world under the most impossible conditions. And that happens every day folks. But we don’t hear about those par- ents or those kids. They’re not making the headlines. They’re busy making the world a better place. I know who these kids are. I have seen them. I know who their parents are as well. I respect and I deeply honour these people. Which is why the current situa- tion frustrates and saddens me so terribly. No thinking person believes a headline describing a boy who routinely trafficked co- caine, traded in illegal weapons and stolen vehicles as “basically good.” What would be much more believable and even beneficial would be some real emotional honesty and culpability: “I messed up. I let him do whatever he wanted to.” “I didn’t set any limits for him.” “I didn’t know where he was most of the time. I never met his friends.” Even, “Please don’t do what I did... you might lose the treasure of your life!” I’m a big believer in free choice. People are always free to live in whatever manner they elect to, free to parent in what- ever way they see fit, free to make a baby with whomever they feel like. But I am also a big believer in consequences. What goes up must come down. You reap what you sew. There’s no free lunch. Let us honour and respect and write about those people who are doing the hard work of real parenting. Let us hold them and their children up as our heroes and role models. And maybe then we will have more good, sweet, spirited children and fewer dead ones. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Total votes: 125 Yes : 83 % No: 17 % Song remains the same in Pickering The issues that have dominated Pickering City Council for years continue to do so. The proposed airport and Seaton overshadow all, and to- gether lead to a number of related and spin-off issues that affect taxpayers. More than 30 years after Pickering lands were first expropriated for an airport, the issue seems to have advanced little. The Con- servative government, and transport minister Lawrence Cannon in particular, disappointed many in the community with word that there would be no public input into the due diligence review of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority’s plan for an airport in Pickering. Meanwhile, politicians and residents themselves, in communities such as Brougham, cried injustice and lamented the continuing exodus, forced exodus many would say, of families from central Pickering. In April, council restated its opposition to an airport. In February, the Seaton lands received the final go-ahead to proceed after the Supreme Court of Canada denied developer Silvio De Gasperis’s request to appeal a lower-court decision. But, that doesn’t mean work is under way on the much-talked-about, environmentally friendly community. It’ll be years before a shovel is in the ground. Unfortunately, the delay with Seaton and the decades-long limbo with the proposed airport mean that tens of thousands of hectares of land in the City aren’t earning Pickering any money. Together with the continuing impact of provincial downloading, what this means for taxpayers is, you guessed it, a forecast of large tax increases for several years to come. Pickering ratepayers were downright angry at this year’s 8.79 per cent tax increase. And, while the hikes are slated to go down for the next few years, pro- jected increases in 2008, 2009 and 2010 of 7.7, 6.7 and 5.7 per cent are still hefty. It’s not all the City’s fault, but City politicians need to do whatever they can to hold the line on taxes. Mayor Dave Ryan, now in his second term, has settled comfort- ably into the big chair at the City and is an effective head of council. He rightly maintains that Seaton cannot be just a place to live, but a place to work, urging the Province to focus first on commercial and indus- trial devel- opment first, with hous- ing second, to ensure the community lives up to its advance bill- ing. His town hall meetings are a good idea and he answered many questions at the first in a forth- right manner. Council said farewell to long-time and respected member Mau- rice Brenner last fall, with Bonnie Littley taking his chair. Her prior community involvement and experience on issues such as Seaton and the airport have served her well, and meant that she was able to hit the ground running. Councillor Bill McLean continues to be an experienced and sensible voice at the council table, both in Pickering at regional headquarters in Whitby. Speaking of experience, few councillors have more of it than Rick Johnson, and the context within which he is able to regard issues serves the City well. We’re pleased to report that his council expenses continue to go down. Newcomer Jennifer O’Connell, unlike her colleague Coun. Lit- tley, comes to the job with little active experience in local matters. She has demonstrated several qualities, however, that lead us to believe she will be an effective council member this term. Coun. O’Connell is prepared for and engaged at meetings, ensures she knows all the facts on issues and, unlike many first-time council- lors, is willing to stand up for her beliefs, even if they aren’t always popular. Councillor Doug Dickerson is also an experienced council member, but he had a few stumbles in the last year. His lost and stolen Blackberries annoyed several residents. He continues to go off on the odd tangent, but is able to focus on topics he cares about. Finally, Councillor David Pickles is involved in the community on issues such as the Roadwatch Committee and the Duffins Creek Watershed task force. We feel he’s off the mark, however, in raising the prospect of exempting seniors from paying education taxes.

FRENCHMAN’S BAY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE No. 3 6:30 – 8:30 pm, Thursday, June 28, 2007 East Shore Community Centre, Room #2 910 Liverpool Rd. South The Stormwater Management Master Plan for the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed is nearing completion. It provides a 5-year plan and a long- term vision (25 years) to improve water quality and to address flooding and erosion issues in the area shown on the map below.

This project is being planned in accordance with Schedule “C” of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The ESR identifies the need for improvements to Altona Road to: better serve growing volumes of traffic and pedestrians; address deteriorating pavement conditions; and to improve safety and access to developments. The recommended plan is to widen Altona Road to four/five lanes from Kingston Road to Strouds Lane, widen to three lanes from Strouds Lane to Finch Avenue, reconstruct the CN Rail bridge (north of Sheppard Avenue), install a full traffic signal at the Brookridge Gate / Valley Gate intersection and provide a sidewalk along both sides of the street. Subject to comments received as a result of this notice and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Region will proceed with detailed design of the first phase, Kingston Road to north of Strouds Lane, currently planned to begin construction in 2008. Construction of the remaining section from north of Strouds Lane to Finch Avenue is currently not included in the Region’s five (5) year road program.

ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Durham’s literary magazine taking two-year break Ajacian Maharaj co-founded LICHEN By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — LICHEN it or not, Durham Region’s literary magazine is pulling a vanish- ing act. After close to 10 years of publication, LICHEN’s vol- unteer editors are taking a break, at least for two years. “It’s sad but true,” said edi- tor Ruth Walker, one of the founders of the literary maga- zine that is known through- out the world. “We’re going to take a hiatus and see what happens.” The periodical has been ed- ited and published by the vol- unteers, with funding coming from provincial and federal organizations. Recently, how- ever, the federal funding has dried up, leaving a huge hole in the budget. “If we could do it just with (the provincial funds), we would,” Walker said. “We pay our contributors. Writers don’t often get respect from many levels. We pinch a penny 50 ways.” The editors are very cre- ative when it comes to “doing things at no cost,” she said. “But it’s exhausting. We’re all writers and poets. We pub- lish other people’s works but we don’t have time for our own writing. It’s heartbreak- ing to me that we are doing this but ...” LICHEN started out as a small magazine, about 60 to 80 pages, with about 250 cop- ies printed. Today, it can be found on bookstores shelves and libraries throughout Can- ada and the United States, and even in Europe, Australia and southeast Asia. The final issue, called Miss- ing, is 208 pages and includes new works by some return- ing authors, a timeline of LICHEN’s history, and new fiction and poetry from past and present editorial board members and from a first- time published author. The winners of two international challenges are also included, along with a 20-page index of nine years of contributors. The editors, along with Walker, are Ingrid Ruthig, of Ajax, Steven Laird, of Oshawa, Gwynn Scheltema, originally from Oshawa, and Mark Med- ley, formerly of Oshawa. The founders are Walker, Schel- tema, Rabindranath Maharaj, of Ajax, and Lucy Brennan, of Whitby. Walker said what made the magazine special was its dedi- cation to quality writing and inclusion of new writers. The editors realized long ago that the reading public is looking for a well-written story of ex- cellent quality, she said. The editors have always promoted Durham Region writers and poets in LICHEN, published twice a year. “I know there are people out there who now know about the fantastic talent in Durham Region because of our jour- nal,” Walker said. “Every issue had a least one person from Durham featured.” For close to 10 years, LI- CHEN has presented contem- porary poetry, short stories, artwork and occasional re- views and essays. As for what the future holds, Walker said she’s unsure ex- cept... “I don’t think this is the last you’ll see of us. We will con- tinue an internet presence, running past contributions on the website, updated regular- ly.” In Durham, LICHEN can be found at Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge and Chapters in Oshawa and Ajax. For more in LICHEN, go to www.lichen- journal.ca. The greening of the jazz and blues festival DURHAM — The Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival is going green. At this year’s event in August, the environment will play a major role in how the festival op- erates, said producer Kerri King, of Eclipse Concerts. “We can all make small chang- es in our everyday lives that will have a huge impact on our car- bon footprint,” she said. “By im- plementing a green plan for the Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival, we hope to lead by example.” Festival promotional materials will be printed on recycled paper using vegetable inks and festival T-shirts are being made from or- ganic cotton. At the festival, Aug. 6 to 11, there will be recycling programs at all venues to help minimize the amount of mate- rial going to landfill, she added. Clintar Groundskeeping Servic- es, a festival sponsor, is helping with the recycling. At the day-long music event on Aug. 11 at Memorial Park, some organic food choices will be available from vendors. In- formation about environmental agencies and advocacy groups will be made available at several venues during the week. “Collectively and individually, we can all do our part. It won’t happen overnight,” King said. “But together we can really make a difference. Just small things make huge differences if enough people apply them.” Details on this year’s festival will be announced later this month. Anyone interested in assisting with the festival is asked to contact King at kerri@eclipseconcerts. com, by phone at 905-986-0666 or visit www.oshawajazzand- bluesfestival.com.

World champ is all Hart Pickering curler shares stories, urges city school’s students to follow their dreams By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Pickering curler Richard Hart noted to his young audi- ence that they, too, could one day be at the dais speaking on being a Cana- dian and world champion. “It was in Grade 8, when I first start- ed curling, so some of you could go on to be a world champion and you haven’t even tried yet. And, when you do, it could lead to something big,” says Hart, speaking to the student body at Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School’s final recognition assembly of the year. In his short speech to the students, Hart notes he didn’t win the world title alone, giving thanks to his teammates and to his family, wife Margaret and children Joey, David and Lauren, for their sup- port through the years. “Behind every winner is a great group of support people. No one gets there on their own and it’s like that for all athletes,” says Hart, who brought along his world championship medal, his Brier trophy and his Olympic sil- ver medal, as a member of Canada’s men’s curling team at the 1998 Olym- pic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan to share with the students. For Hart, 38, the third on the Glenn Howard rink, it was a dream season that continued to gather steam and led to the ultimate achievements in the sport -- his first-ever Tim Hor- tons Brier victory at Copps Coliseum in early March, followed by his first world title in front of a huge Canadian audience at the Ford World Curling Championships in Edmonton. There, Howard defeated Germany’s Andy Capp 8-3 in the gold-medal game in early April. Being at the centre of another Ca- nadian triumph at the world cham- pionships, the country’s 30th, was a moving experience, especially playing in front of record partisan Canadian crowds in Edmonton’s Rexall Place. “Playing at the provincials and even the Canadians, the crowd is split, they all have their favourite provincial teams to cheer for, but to be able to play at the worlds in Canada with record crowds of 10,000 to 11,000 in Edmonton was just a phenomenal experience. To have 11,000 people cheering for you to win was just an amazing feeling.” Hart notes 2007 was definitely the pinnacle as a curler where losses were few and far between, especially at the provincials, the Brier and the worlds. “It’s the best season I’ve ever had personally. Our team, winning the provincials, the Brier and then the worlds and with so very few losses along the way. I think we had two loss- es at the Brier and one at the worlds. To do that was phenomenal. We were proud of ourselves and I was proud of my teammates and myself with how well we played. We couldn’t have even dreamed that it would happen that way.” What does Hart and his world cham- pion teammates do for an encore? Well, do it again, of course. “Many athletes struggle with that. We haven’t sat down and set down goals. Just do it again. What’s better than doing it once is doing it twice. That’s all you can really do.” As world champs, Hart says the Howard team has received a num- ber of playing offers for the upcom- ing season. They’ll play in Scotland in January and are considering offers to play in Norway in September and Switzerland in October. But, Hart acknowledges his skip, Glenn Howard, and his teammates are looking forward to participating in the renewed TSN Skins Game, one of the more popular televised curling events on the calendar. This year, it will be hosted at Orillia’s Casino Rama, close to the Howard rink’s home curling club of Coldwater. “It’s going to be exciting. It’s going to be in one of their theatres where they’re going to make temporary ice. Hopefully, the ice is good. It’s going to be something to see.” The Howard rink will face three other teams -- Canadian Olympic gold medallist Brad Gushue rink of Newfoundland and Labrador, Alber- ta’s Kevin Martin rink and Ontario’s Wayne Middaugh rink -- at the Skins event. In terms of long-term goals, Hart says he would love to represent Can- ada for a second time at a Winter Olympic games, in 2010 in Vancouver- Whistler. “But, we don’t like to focus that far in the future. We like to go season by season,” he says.

Now, they’ve won their second in two months, winning their group in the Peter- borough Challenge Cup on Father’s Day. In the final, the Pumas faced Leaside United, a team they had tied 0-0 earlier in the tournament. Both teams entered the game having allowed no goals in their games. The first half ended scoreless. In the second half, the Pumas pulled ahead on goals by Matthew Fesiak and Cuauhtemoc Flores. After getting the lead, the Pumas goaltending and defence took over and kept Leaside off the scoresheet. In the semi-finals, they beat a very tough Barrie Spirit squad 2-0. In the quarter-finals, the Pumas out- scored Napanee United 2-0. In round-robin action, the Pumas finished second in their nine-team division, with a 4-0 win over the Belleville Comets, followed by a scoreless draw with Leaside. The Ajax boys were once again led by the outstanding goalkeeping of Martin Salmanton, who didn’t allow a goal in the tournament. On offence, the Pumas got balanced scoring throughout the tournament, with goals from Matthew Fesiak, Brendan Manning, Nashon Campbell, Cuauhtemoc Flores, and Holden Drakes-Graham. Team members are Matthew Fesiak, Tyrique Daley, Jorden Wilkinson, Brendan Manning, Nashon Campbell, Fawad Nasser, Yannick Lee-Hon-Siong, Mathew Woolley, Cuauhtemoc Flores, Christopher Elms, Connor Purdy, Martin Salmanton, and Holden Drakes-Graham.

PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ June 20, 2007 A/P Veltman makes his presence felt Veteran’s play helps Rock break losing streak with home win over Norwood By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Rock found the solution to ending a seven-game losing string: Just add Veltman. Jim Veltman, the 18-year National Lacrosse League veteran who agreed to return to the club after deciding earlier he wanted to take the sum- mer off, made his presence felt in his senior ‘B’ debut against a very good Norwood Nitro squad at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Saturday night. And, despite not having played la- crosse since the Toronto Rock’s play- off exit in late April, he didn’t miss a beat. In fact, Veltman got the Rock’s previously moribund transition game out and running, and helped himself to four assists in the process in guid- ing the Rock to a solid 7-4 victory, its first in more than a month. Saturday’s victory by the Rock also prevented a series sweep for the Nitro (7-3, first in East Division), who en- tered the game on a five-game win- ning streak. Norwood had taken the two previous meetings with the Rock this season. The victory also reaffirmed the Rock’s wholesale changes to its ros- ter, with six new players joining the team prior to the two weekend games against the Mohawk Stars (a 7-6 loss in Pickering Friday) and Saturday’s win over Norwood, was the right move in order to salvage the season. The Rock played with a renewed sense of purpose on Saturday night, and head coach St. John is hopeful the strong play will continue through its three remaining regular-season games and on into the playoffs. “For us, (Saturday’s win) was a huge step in the right direction. I believe we’re going to be tough to beat if we play like we did tonight,” says St. John. “I don’t think we know how good we can be.” Rock head coach Paul St. John notes the return of the captain, who was again wearing the ‘C’ on Saturday, put everyone in the dressing room at ease, not to mention giving the players a jolt of confidence that had been sorely lacking this season. “He just helped everyone relax,” says St. John. “You can make a mistake here and there and he’s like a vacuum cleaner; he cleaned things up.” St. John also lauded the play of starting goaltender Mike Miron, who was brilliant through the first two pe- riods, holding the visiting Nitro to a single goal. Although the Nitro were able beat Miron three times in the final frame, he was a definite factor in ending the club’s string of futility. “I think the big thing tonight was Mike Miron came to play,” says St. John of Miron, who’s missed several games with work commitments. “He gave us a good game. He was terrific.” The Rock also received solid efforts from several of the team’s recent pick- ups. Wayne Burke, who came to the Rock via the Kitchener Kodiaks Major Series squad, earned a goal and an as- sist in his debut. “He’s a smooth player,” says St. John. “He scored a power-play goal while running through the middle, and the ball was in and out of his stick so quick. He really takes control of the offence out there and that’s nice.” St. John also gave kudos to Pavel Dosly, a newcomer from the Czech Republic, Ryan McMichael, who was acquired from the Brooklin Mer- chants, and especially John Veltman, who was a solid contributor at the defensive end. “He was amazing. He makes our de- fence that much better,” says St. John. Jordan West-Pratt led the way with two goals. Burke, Sean Felstead, Tyler Phillips, Jamie Plunket and Joel John- son also scored for the Rock. In Friday’s close loss to the Mo- hawk Stars, West-Pratt scored twice, with single markers to Mark Craig, Bill McLean, Tim O’Brien and Mike Daley. The Rock travels to Owen Sound on Saturday to play the Owen Sound Woodsmen at the Bayshore Centre at 8 p.m. Pebbles Record: 3-7-0 Third place The Rock lost two players to injury over the weekend, including leading scorer Mark Craig, who saw only limited action in Saturday’s win over Norwood with a rib injury. Joe Rosa also suf- fered a knee strain in Friday’s game against Mohawk and didn’t dress for Saturday’s game...The Rock had many chances through the first two periods of Saturday’s game to pad their lead, but Nitro goaltender Cole Murray made several good saves. Rock head coach Paul St. John notes Murray is the top candidate for most valuable player in the league this year. “He’s the MVP of the league this year and, if he’s not, it would be unbelievable”... Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Ajax-Pickering Rock captain Jim Veltman, left, battles with Norwood Nitro’s John Loucks for a loose ball during OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse action at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Saturday night. The Rock won 7-3, ending a seven-game losing skid. More trophies for the mantle? DURHAM — The urge to help his team got the better of him, acknowl- edges Jim Veltman, as the chief reason he returned to the OLA senior ‘B’ Ajax- Pickering Rock. But, that wasn’t the only reason Velt- man picked up the lacrosse stick after vowing to lay it down for the summer. Over his career, the 41-year-old has done nothing but win. So far, he’s won six National Lacrosse League titles, five of those as captain of the Toronto Rock. He’s also won a world indoor la- crosse title and has won the Mann Cup of Major Series lacrosse four times. The pull to add to an already im- pressive lacrosse resume with a Presi- dents Cup, the Canadian Senior ‘B’ Lacrosse Championship, after coming so close to achieving it a season ago was also a reason for returning to the Rock’s fold. “The last three years we got stronger and stronger and last year we were beaten 3-1 in the final series by Wel- lington. We made it to the finals last year and maybe it’s our turn (to win) this year. That’s what I’m hoping for. “They want to win a Presidents Cup and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to come back is to win it. I’ve never won it before.” Veltman made his return to the Rock lineup at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Saturday a triumphant one, leading the team with four assists (the top point-getter in the game) in a 7-4 victory over the Norwood Nitro. The victory broke off a seven-game losing streak by the Rock. What’s going on in your community? Just click here 416-701-1201 Scarborough | 2130 Lawrence Ave. E.
