Controversial development gets go-ahead By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — After much debate over a new development and the re- vival of Kingston Road, council gave approval to a new commercial plan it hopes will kick start a new downtown. Different opinions have greeted the new development, which will be locat- ed on land between Kingston Road and Hwy. 401, Dixie and Liverpool Roads. The development itself has not been the only topic up for debate; it’s the fact that it will be in a part of the city aimed to become Pickering’s downtown, called Town Centre West. But at the Council meeting on June 18, the development was approved by a 5-2 vote. The specifics still have to be dealt with at the site planning meet- ing, but Brookdale Centre Inc. can now move forward. “Once this starts, I think it will snow- ball and continue to the east,” Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said. “I certainly think it’s going to kick-start the rest of the development of down- town,” But resident Janice Frampton dis- agreed. “Why is the city once again being put together piece by piece?” she said. “Where’s the vision?” Ms. Frampton complained the needs of the developers come before the resi- dents in Pickering, and said if the devel- opment will be big-box, she’s against it. But Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell believes the box-store rep- utation the development is getting is inaccurate since “the majority of space and leasable square footage is not big- box.” Council approved a Home Depot on the site last October. On the remainder of the property, there will be: a munici- pal road running parallel to Hwy. 401; another south of Kingston Road, which will be an extension of Walnut Lane; a second box store (developers are cur- rently anticipating a Future Shop); two buildings with two functional floors Along with the Home Depot (HD in picture) approved in October last year, Pickering council has approved a new development located between Hwy. 401 to the south, Kingston Road to the north, Liverpool Road to the east and Dixie Road to the west hop- ing it will be the catalyst for a downtown area. The accompany- ing photo shows council’s vision for the Town Centre West Devel- opment Concept that includes a number of planned commercial and office buildings. !100% APPROVAL no money down OAC DURHAM CREDIT ZONE A DIVISION OF AJAX NISSAN we’ll mak e it happen! 24 hour approval at: www.durhamcreditzone.com Private, friendly FREE CONSULTATION Just call us Interest rate may vary from 0 to 29.9% depending on credit history, some down payment may be required.

The Ontario Ministry of Trans- portation (MTO), in February 2005. initiated the 407 East environ- mental assessment (EA) study to extend Hwy. 407 east to Clarington. The MTO is now ready to present the results from the evaluation of the final short list of route alter- natives and a technically recom- mended route.

The Whitby boy was among about 200 people who lined the eastern side of the bridge, flapping flags and showing their support for Canadian troops, while waiting for the bodies of three recently killed in Afghani- stan to pass on the highway below them Sunday evening. “I came out here to see the soldiers because they do so much work for us to keep us safe,” said Brendan. He doesn’t know any soldiers in Afghanistan, but at school they talk about them often, he said. “Everyone should be here because we have to make them proud that they keep us safe and we care about them,” said Brendan. Kevin Thompson, who lives at the Oshawa/Whitby border, held on to the other end of the flag with Bren- dan. Over the blaring honks from vehicles below, he said it is impor- tant not only to show support to the families who have lost a loved one and but also to the soldiers still in Afghanistan. One driver just gave the peace sign, noted his wife, Nancy Thomp- son. Others were waving their arms out their windows at the people on the bridge. Mr. Thompson doesn’t personally know anyone who has been in the war, but his sister-in-law’s nephew died there about a month ago. “That kind of makes it hit home,” he said. The scene definitely hits home for Tia Woodcroft. A Port Perry resident, her son, Sergeant Ray Woodcroft, is still in Afghanistan and was in the same regiment as Trooper Darryl Caswell, a Bowmanville soldier who was killed earlier this month. She had been in attendance nine days earlier when Trooper Caswell’s body was brought back along the same Hwy. 401 route. Paul Woodcroft, her husband, said their son was only 800 metres away from the bomb that killed the three soldiers being brought through that evening. “It could be anybody,” said Ms. Woodcroft, wearing a red ‘Support our troops’ cap and shirt, a Canadian flag folded under her arm. Even her dog wore a red hanky around its neck with a yel- low ‘Support our troops’ pin. She said the soldiers really support what they’re doing in Afghanistan. Even after her son’s vehicle was de- stroyed by a land mine around Eas- ter weekend, he was back in the field a couple days later, she pointed. To see so many people supporting the soldiers makes her happy to be Canadian, she added. “This shows the guys whether they believe in the mission or not, they really support our troops.” “Whether we agree with the mis- sion or not, it’s our duty and re- sponsibility to support the troops,” said Frits Scheltema, who awaited the procession at the Henry Street bridge in Whitby. “Canadian troops have had a proud record through the years, and they should continue to be supported by the population.” Kick-starting Pickering’s downtown ✦ See Mayor, Page A2 Durham offers troop support HD ✦ See Heart, Page A2 For more on this story Fellow Whitby resident Debbie Gilroy agreed. “When people die fighting for this country, fighting for the rights we have and helping other countries, it’s the least we can do,” she said. “As a parent I can’t possibly imagine what their families are feel- ing right now.” In Ajax, the gathering formed at the highway overpass on Harwood Avenue and Ajax resident Douglas Corrigan was moved by the turnout. “A tear comes to my eye and a soft spot to my heart,” he said. “It’s a tragedy to see the loss of the young people and my heart and soul goes out to their parents.” Whitby resident Steve Jones has a brother in the military -- presently in Ottawa. Holding his flag around his shoulders, Mr. Jones was there to show his respect and support for the people who have been lost. The gathering presented mixed emotions for him. “It’s a little melancholy,” said Mr. Jones. “It’s nice to see people sup- porting the troops, it’s sad because it’s in a state of mourning.” Mr. Jones said he thinks the show of support helps. Although he hopes the Afghanistan mission doesn’t need to be extended, Canada’s role has been critical in helping provide health care, clean water, access to education for women, and much more. It’s necessary to support the Ca- nadians putting their lives at risk so people can have better quality of life, whether one supports the Afghani- stan war or not, said Mr. Jones. The outpouring of public support for a military funeral procession down the highway is a relatively re- cent phenomenon because, in pre- vious conflicts involving Canadian soldiers during the 20th century, our war dead were buried where they fell. Leo Morin, past commanding of- ficer of the Ontario Regiment which is based in Oshawa, said he is moved by the outpouring of support for fall- en Canadian troops. He traces the process of repatriation back to the peacekeeping era of the latter half of the last century and said it has con- tinued through Canadian involve- ment in the 1990s Balkan conflicts and now in Afghanistan. Mr. Thompson said it would be hard to pull out of Afghanistan when they’re making progress, especially when people have been lost, but at some point, they have to evaluate if it’s worth the sacrifice.

Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles suggested the last change at a previous planning and development meeting. It was originally going to be a single-unit building, most likely housing a restau- rant. He said he was pleased with the developer’s flexibility and believes the development will improve Pickering’s revenue since “we’re utilizing an unde- rused site.” David McKay of MHBC Planning spoke of plans for Brookdale Centre Inc. at Monday’s meeting and answered questions from Council. Ward 2 City Coun. Doug Dickerson commended him when he saw piqued roofing in the plans. He also asked Mr. McKay what he thought of adding a food store. Mr. McKay responded they are consider- ing one that would be 8,000 square feet maximum. Coun. Dickerson noted the prob- lems the former Price Chopper at the Bay Ridges Plaza experienced at 10,000 square feet. Mr. McKay said they’re considering a smaller store specializing in ethnic foods and “the like.” Ward 1 Regional Coun. Bonnie Lit- tley raised concerns about the lack of residential plans in the development. When Mr. McKay said they didn’t find a market for that yet, Coun. Littley com- pared it to the foot of Liverpool Road. “A lot of people gave the same story on that and now it’s wonderful,” she said. Coun. O’Connell criticized the exten- sion of Walnut Lane, saying it should be a pedestrian priority. “I don’t feel comfortable supporting a four-lane road that I think should be a pedestrian road,” she said. Coun. O’Connell supported the de- velopment, and noted residents have shown happiness with the Home Depot, since they won’t have to drive so far. She’s also hopeful for the employment possibilities. “I think this is a good op- portunity,” she said. “Whether people like Future Shop, Best Buy, or whatever it’ll be, it will creates jobs.” “I think that what we found here is a really good compromise,” noted Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. He compared the situation to the box stores along Hwy. 2 in Ajax. He said the developers fought Council “tooth and nail” and won when they went to the Ontario Municipal Board. Although happy with the developer’s improvements, Mayor Dave Ryan said he wouldn’t support the development. “What we ended up with is some- thing that quite frankly is mediocre, and that’s disappointing,” he said. All but Mayor Ryan and Coun. Littley voted for the development.

On Tuesday morning the Re- gional works department issued an outright ban on outdoor water use, like lawn watering and car washing, in Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. “If you have a little flower hang- ing basket that is dying give it a little water to keep it going,” said Thom Sloley, Durham’s manager of plant operations for the water and sewage plants. “But if your lawn is getting brown don’t water it. Your lawn will recover.” In Oshawa, Whitby, Brooklin, Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcas- tle and Newtonville, residents are asked to make an effort to con- serve water. “We are reminding people to think conservation while they are using water in the summer,” Mr. Sloley said. Conservation efforts are im- portant to keep water reservoir levels from falling below mini- mum and to maintain adequate system pressures and water sup- ply for essential needs, including fire protection. “We want to make sure we have water available to meet those demands,” Mr. Sloley said. “The plants are designed to meet a peek demand and if that demand gets too high, in a few short hours you can really deplete a reser- voir.” In the summer months, water demand can be 50 to 80 per cent higher than average, primarily due to lawn watering. “That is the single largest usage that puts the demand on the sys- tem,” Mr. Sloley said. “If people all decided to water their lawn on the same day the demand goes up and it really can impact the reservoir.” Residents under the conserva- tion advisory are reminded to ob- serve the Region’s odd-even day lawn watering bylaw. It means watering your lawn only on even calendar days if your home ad- dress is an even number and vice-versa for those in odd-num- bered homes. Mr. Sloley explained that lawns don’t need that much water to stay healthy. Established lawns only need about 2.5 centimetres or one inch of water a week. Although there was no con- servation request issued for Ajax and Pickering, Mr. Sloley said a common sense approach should extend to those areas as well. “It comes down to demand and the Ajax water plant hasn’t seen the same demand,” he ex- plained. “It could be because the people in Ajax and Pickering are doing the odd-even watering a little better.” The works department will advise residents of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock when normal odd-even day lawn watering can resume. In extreme cases of non-compliance with the ban, the Region’s commissioner of works does have the authority to turn residents’ water off.

Mr. Dickson was se- lected as the candidate for Ajax-Pickering Rid- ing on Sunday. The next provincial election is on Wednesday, Oct. 10. It’s his second at- tempt provincially, hav- ing been unsuccessful in 1995, when the Pro- gressive Conservatives swept to office. A long-time com- munity activist, Mr. Dickson has been involved in many aspects. He was a separate school board trustee in the early 1970s, and a local and Regional councillor in Ajax through the 1980s and early 1990s, returning to council in 1997. He’s also a past winner of the Ajax Civic Award, given annu- ally to a person who has made an outstanding voluntary contri- bution to the betterment of the community. He was a co-founder of Ajax Home Week and helped start Ajax Environmental Affairs Week. “I’m running as a McGuinty Liberal because I believe in the progress this govern- ment is making,” Mr. Dickson said in a press release. “Hospital wait times are finally im- proving. Children are no longer locked out by constant strikes. And for the first time in more than a decade, the provincial govern- ment is taking the en- vironment seriously.” Kevin Ashe, a former Pickering separate school board trustee and City councillor, won the Progressive Conservative nomination in late April. Mr. Dickson said he won’t be resign- ing his council seat while run- ning in the election but he has also indicated he will resign his seat if he is successful in the cam- paign.

Baby-sitting courses this summer But generic review says more detailed review needed when specific site chosen By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A generic study on human health or ecological risk in- dicates an energy-from-waste plant could be built in Durham or York, but authors of the report and councillors are quick to point out a site-specific study would have to be carried out be- fore such a waste management facility is built. The joint Durham-York Waste Man- agement Committee received the re- port, completed by consulting group Jacques Whitford, last week. The report is “certainly ... generic,” said Clarington Councillor Charlie Trim, who chairs the committee. A more in-depth study can’t be com- pleted until the site -- to be chosen from a short list that has now dwin- dled to three in Clarington and one in East Gwillimbury, a municipality that has said it won’t be a willing host -- is finally selected. That’s expected to happen in September. “It gives a general sense that (EFW) would be worth exploring,” said Coun. Trim, likening the process to “going to a general physician, then going to a specialist.” The report looked at an array of chemicals of potential concern, in- cluding particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, dioxins and furans, hydrochloric acid, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, and estimated exhaust stack air emissions based largely on values obtained from stack testing of a facility in Brampton. “Really, this is just a starting point in our minds,” said Dr. Chris Ollson, of Jacques Whitford. “After you choose the site and the technology, you have to do a site-specific analysis.” The report did show some potential human health and ecological con- cerns, but said they were “limited” in number. It assumed the recep- tors -- people, wildlife, or vegetation -- considered lived full-time at the area where the highest ground level concentration of contaminants was found. “These included exposure of sub- sistence farm and First Nations in- fants and aquatic receptors to dioxin and furans if the concentration being emitted from the stack” was at Min- istry of Environment guidelines, said the report. “In addition, methyl mercury posed a potential risk to the First Nations toddler and approached a level of concern for the Belted Kingfisher ... “These potential estimates of risk were based on a very conservative set of assumptions that were carried through all phases of the assess- ment.” The report is not only too general, but should have been done a long time ago, said some members of the community who spoke to committee. The study “says this report is meant as a feasibility study only,” said Orono resident Linda Gasser. “Generally, feasibility studies are conducted prior to decisions being taken rather than a year after the fact.” The report “focuses on narrow sci- entific literature,” said Paul-Andre Larose, a PhD. “It fails to investigate a wide array of papers in the scientific literature; this should truly be the work of research- ers in the field, especially given the complexity of the issues. Moreover, there is an enhanced credibility factor as data published in scientific jour- nals is the object of scrutiny and peer reviewing,” he said. “The report does not contain data from health professionals or academ- ics. This is a very important source of information that cannot be ignored; these are people who generally have no vested financial interest in an out- come.” But, the report was peer reviewed by a number of individuals, including a medical doctor who has a specialty in public health, said Dr. Ollson. “We didn’t come to the table and say, look, here’s the report, take it as it is,” said Dr. Ollson, who, like Dr. Larose, holds a PhD. “We fully expect that academics, public health officials ... would peer review the report.” The Regions are in the midst of presenting findings of the report to the public, at a number of sessions, including several next week in Clar- ington. More information on the sessions can be found at www.region.durham. on.ca or www.durhamyorkwaste.ca.

Article on page 16 of the Ajax Pickering Health Matters June 2007 edition incorrectly stated that the Gardasil vaccine for HPV was covered by OHIP. The vaccine is NOT covered by OHIP as of yet. The federal government, however, has set aside $300 million for provinces to fund the vaccine, but the national protocols have not been established. A spokesman for Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care con- fi rms that The National Advisory Committee on Immunization has released its recommendations on the new HPV vaccine. The ministry awaits the Canadian Immunization Committee’s recom- mendations for program implementation across the provinces and territories. The CIC expects to make its recommendations in the fall, 2007. Many private drug plans and university and college health plans do cover most — if not all — of the cost of the vaccine. Please contact your insurance company to ensure you are covered before making your appointment. The vaccine requires three injections over six months and should not replace regular PAP tests. Gardasil costs approximately $135 per dose. Please speak with your doctor fi rst to verify the cost and side effects of the vaccine. Our apologies for any inconvenience or confusion this misinfor- mation has caused. CORRECTION NOTICE 905-666-8000905-666-8000 965 DUNDAS ST. W., 965 DUNDAS ST.

The sites -- Clarington 02, locat- ed near Courtice Road and Hwy. 401 in Clarington’s proposed en- ergy park, and Clarington 03, a pri- vately-owned site west of Lamb’s Road -- are no longer under con- sideration, the Durham York Joint Waste Management Committee heard Tuesday. That leaves two potential sites near Courtice Road and Hwy. 401, as well as one near Bennett Road and Hwy. 401. As well, the proposed East Gwillimbury site remains on the shortlist, even though that mu- nicipality has stated it would not be a willing host to an incinerator or energy-from-waste facility. A change in designation on the Courtice site, and a withdrawal of willingness of a private owner at the Lamb’s Road site, prompted shortening of the list, said Jim McKay, the Environmental Assess- ment Process Planner. Council is expected to choose its preferred site in the fall. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo A cool treat PICKERING — What better way to beat the heat then with an ice cream.

Durham Regional Police Detec- tive Constable Paul Stuart and Act- ing Sergeant Leon Sowa, along with paramedics Robin Johnstone and Thomas Martin, were presented with the Medal of Bravery by Governor General Michaelle Jean during a re- cent ceremony in Ottawa. The four responded to a report of a suicidal female who had barricaded herself inside a burning house. Al- though they were forced from the home by thick smoke the four went back inside, located the woman and brought her to safety. The Durham personnel were among 35 people recognized with the Medal of Bravery during the cer- emony.

PAGE A5 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 27, 2007 A/P PICKERING — Police enlisted the help of animal control experts to corral a deer that wandered into a Pickering clothing shop Saturday. The yearling buck smashed into a window and then ran into a wash- room at the Tip Top Tailors store on Brock Road after finding its way in- side around 9 a.m., Sergeant Paul McCurbin said. Local animal control officers attended and then called in workers from the Toronto Zoo, who tranquilized the deer. The animal has been transported back to the wild, Sgt. McCurbin said. Animal control workers corral lost deer submitted photo Oh deer Mavis Nash Rosetti of Ajax snapped this photo of five deer near the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. She decried the loss of hab- itat for the deer and other wildlife due to the work, including the cutting down of numerous trees, associated with the plant’s expansion.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why are our radiation limits so high: reader To the editor: Re: ‘Strengthen water stan- dards: Greenpeace’, June 17 News Advertiser. It was nice to see that our local paper holds the reader’s best interests at heart. Another national paper had published a similar article indicating al- most the same content, less the responses from Ontario Power Generation’s Jacquie McInnes. I would like to pose a simple question: if OPG’s internal target is 100 becquer- els per litre (a becquerel is a measure of radiation), and our last 2006 actual measure- ments were 5-to-7 b/l, then why are we not reducing our safety limits from 7,000 b/l to a more reasonable limit? The article stated that reducing it down to “20 b/l would cost $1 billion.” Does this mean that we actually at times do come close to the 7,000 b/l limit? This would be the only reason why I would assume that we still continue leaving the limit at 7,000 b/l. Ms McInnes’s statement that, “OPG has been operating in this community for more than 35 years and no member of the public has ever been harmed by our operations,” leaves me with the question, how does she know this? Does this mean Ms. McInnes has a full understanding of what long-term exposure to tritium does to the human body? I believe it took 20 years be- fore we found that the effects of exposure to asbestos were detrimental to one’s health. I just don’t see why it is acceptable in the U.S. for a limit of 740 b/l, the European Union sets the limit at 100 b/l and we for some reason stick to 7,000 b/l. Are we trying to hide something here? Jason Naughton Pickering Portion of pay to students could go into special fund for them To the editor: Can you afford to pay for your child’s university costs? I didn’t think so. With university costs ris- ing, it is nearly impossible for students to avoid falling tens of thousands of dollars into debt. Student wage is no help ei- ther. Anywhere between $500 and $1,000 per year can be lost because students don’t make minimum wage. So why not make student wages ben- eficial for the student. It seems unjust that stu- dents are paid less for doing a minimum wage job; there- fore students should make $8 as well. However, rather than giving $8 to the student, con- tinue to allow the student to receive $7.50 of their pay. Fifty cents should be deposited by the employer into an account dedicated to post-secondary education, hence “student wage.” By doing so, students will be encouraged to show inter- est in post-secondary educa- tion, knowing that they will already have a bursary com- ing to them. As a student going into post- secondary school, I am well aware of the costs that I am faced with in years to come and I do not look forward to being thousands of dollars in debt. I am simply trying to help the students of the future and hoping to provide the finan- cial aid that is necessary to keep students going to uni- versity and college.

IN THE COMMUNITY Camp experience worth every penny /4& Son gets feeling he’s not alone M y youngest just got home from almost two weeks of camp. I’ve never seen a kid so com- pletely, wonderfully happy. Happy to be home and over- joyed with his experiences away. I don’t know if you’ve ever been near someone who is that totally content. There’s a force field around them. It’s like standing too close to a nuclear reactor or Tony Rob- bins. It rubs off. I never did the camp thing. I went to an athletic leadership camp for a couple of weeks in Grade 11 but it was more like a Gulag with wrestling mats. I didn’t enjoy my time there so much as survived it. None of my siblings went to any kind of camp that I can recall. There were six of us and the old man would’ve had to knock over a bank to pay for that kind of thing. As it was, I’m pretty sure he must’ve been a heroin mule or a numbers runner on the side, just to keep all of us in shoes. Still, I don’t think any of us ever felt like we missed out on the experience. With six kids in the house, five of them boys, our place was re- ally a lot like camp. We had bunk-beds, hazing rituals and we generally had to line up for the shower. But camps have also changed a great deal since I was a kid. We never had arts camps or computer camps or quantum physics camps like they have nowadays. Our options were sham- bling, run-down old places with names that sounded vaguely scatological; Camp Tay-Ka-Poo and Camp Whiz- a-way. Places with leaky roofs and torn screens, where some one-eyed, crusty old badger named Buck would teach you to swim by throwing you off the dock. Places where arts and crafts were for fairies and at least once a summer there was a fatality on the archery range. That was camp. My son’s experience was, thankfully, a great deal differ- ent than that. He spent 10 days at DIAC, Durham Integrated Arts Camp, where he had the time of his life. He’s a different kind of kid in that while he enjoys canoeing and biking and stuff like that, he’s also working his way through most of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels and can hold his own in a discussion of existential determinism. And while you love a kid like that to death, you also worry about him sometimes. You worry that his gifts, those things that make him price- less in your heart, might make him an outsider in the eyes of the heartless. And so it was that my wor- ries and fears were complete- ly and joyfully allayed when, on Parents Day (and trust me you never really feel more like a parent than when you visit your kid at a camp on Parents Day) he quietly and happily confided to me that he never knew there were so many other kids like him around. In that moment I could lit- erally see him shedding the burdensome yoke of different and donning the mantle of pride. They could’ve charged me a million dollars for my child to experience that moment and I would gladly have paid it.

Total votes: 242 Yes : 81 % No: 19 % Council right to support our troops Region made proper call O n one of the worst days to hit Canada since our troops began to serve in Afghanistan, the vast majority of the members of Durham’s Regional council did one of its best things. As the body of trooper Darryl Caswell was laid to rest and as news came in that three more young Canadian soldiers had been killed by a roadside explosion, councillors last week voted to support putting “Support our Troops” decals on vehicles and buildings owned by the Region. Councillor Brian Nicholson made the motion to support the troops and he was backed up by nearly all his colleagues. However, the mayors of Uxbridge and Ajax, Bob Sheppard and Steve Parish respectively, voted against the motion. Mayor Sheppard felt the issue was personal and didn’t “be- long in the realm of politics” while Mayor Parrish felt “it wasn’t appropriate” and not part of council’s mandate to decide on such matters. While all opinions on the issue deserve respect, the decision about whether to support the troops should be a no-brainer. Talk to the hundreds of people who displayed yellow ribbons at their homes and businesses in Bowmanville and who paid their respects to Mr. Caswell and his family for the trooper’s brave service to his country. Consider the sacrifices and impact made by the 60 soldiers who have perished in Afghanistan and the hundreds more who have been wounded. Families and friends are forever touched by such tragedy and we all must remember what it truly means to give your life for a cause. The issue is not support or opposition for the war in Afghani- stan. That debate is one we should have in this country and it will be up to members of Parliament to decide whether the mis- sion continues beyond February 2009 or ends at that time. Until the mission is complete, the least we can do is show our support for all those men and women who have answered their country’s call and have put themselves in harm’s way. Council made the right move, one we should all applaud. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

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. Once complete, the Plan will be a key component of the City’s five-year implementation plan for the improvement of Pickering’s waterfront and Frenchman’s Bay. The Plan is being developed by the City in cooperation with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority following the Class Environmental Assessment process. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be hosted by City staff and the A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be hosted by City staff and the consultant to give an overview of the recommendations and provide an opportunity for you to make comments and ask questions. During the first half hour of the PIC, you will be able to see display boards and ask questions one-on-one. At 7:00 pm, there will be a brief presentation and question/answer session. We invite you to attend this 3rd Public Information Centre (PIC) to be held at the place and time noted above.

Fireworks Safety The safest way to enjoy fireworks while celebrating Canada Day is to attend the public display at Kinsmen Park. Family fireworks should only be used in clear areas away from other structures and dry vegetation. Pickering Fire Services offers the following family fireworks safety tips: • Purchase your fireworks from a reliable source • Always read and follow the label directions • Fireworks should only be handled by responsible adults – never allow children to handle or light them • Use outdoors only. Choose an open area for the display that is free of trees, power lines, buildings, cars or any other obstructions • Always have water handy (a garden hose or bucket) • Never experiment or make your own fireworks • Store them away from children. All fireworks, including sparklers, should be kept in a cool, dry, secure location to which young children do not have access both before and after the display • Designate one adult to be in charge. They should light only one firework at a time. Wear eye protection, gloves and non-flammable clothing during the show • Never re-light a “dud” firework (wait 30 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water) • Dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water overnight and then disposing of them in your trashcan • Never throw or point fireworks at other people • City of Pickering By-law 5495/99 prohibits the ignition, discharge or set-off of any firecrackers, rockets or other fireworks in any City park Contact Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about fireworks or fire safety.

PAGE A8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 27, 2007A/P DURHAM — Five area students are among the winners of a 2007 Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation Ex- cellence Awards. The awards recognize university and college-bound students for their achievements in leadership, innovation, academic performance and community service. Honourees were: • Benjamin Verboom from Ajax and a student at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School (Local award); • Talia Davidson from Brooklin and a student at All Saints Catholic Secondary School (Local award); • Anthony Boland of Whitby and a stu- dent at All Saints Catholic Secondary School (Local award); • Katie Zeppieri of Whitby and a stu- dent at Anderson Collegiate (Provincial award); • Rachel Noble of Port Perry and a stu- dent at Port Perry High School (Local award). Local award winners receive a one- time $4,000 award, while provincial win- ners receive a $4,000 award, which can be renewed up to three times, for a pos- sible total of $16,000. Benjamin serves as a youth soccer and hockey coach. He’s also led retreats for Grade 9 students to help with their transition to high school. He serves as co-chairman of the student senate and was a student trustee with the Durham Catholic District School Board. Talia, a nationally-competitive athlete, helped develop and coach a nordic ski- ing team at the school. She and other students created Leaders Building Lead- ers, a program that teaches elementary- school students about effective leader- ship skills. Anthony and friends developed Trick or Eat program, collecting food items for Settlement House, and 30 large boxes of food were collected. He also helped found a peace and development group at the school. Katie was chosen by her school to represent Ontario youth at the United Nations Regional Consultation on Vio- lence Against Children. She co-chaired a student committee on partner abuse. Katie also developed lessons on diversity education to 250 students from Grades 5 to 9. Rachel served as a student trustee on the Durham District School Board. She met with students from elementary schools, helping them to become active members of their school communities. After a local boy lost his family and home in a fire, Rachel rallied the students and raised more than $3,000 in one day.

Distance runners Morrison, Thomas to represent Canada in Czech Republic By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Thomas Morrison, a high-calibre middle-distance runner in his own right, could only marvel at what Durham Dragons track club teammate and friend Darryl Thomas has accom- plished this year. Both Morrison, 17, of Port Perry, and Thomas, 17, of Ajax, will represent Cana- da at the fifth annual World Youth Track and Field Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, from July 11 to 15. The teammates from the Oshawa-based Dragons’ club will join 35 other athletes at worlds, predicted to be the largest gathering of world youth athletes ever. Morrison’s to compete in the 1,500 metres, while Thomas will run in the 800 metres. For Thomas, setting the qualifying standard for the youth worlds was noth- ing short of miraculous. He started the outdoor season running the 800 metres in 2:05. At an Ottawa meet, he ran the event in 2:00 flat, a marked improvement over his last race. Thomas finished just out of the fi- nals while representing Pickering High School in the 800 metres at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associa- tions (OFSAA) Track and Field Cham- pionships in Ottawa earlier this month, finishing ninth in 1:57. Two weeks ago, however, Thomas put it all together at the National Qualifier Meet at York University. There, he set a phenomenal pace en route to a personal best and world qualifying time of 1:53.47 -- an astonishing four seconds better than his previous best. Moreover, Thomas’s time was the sec- ond best for a 17-year-old Canadian in the 800 metres this year. “I’ve never seen anyone improve that fast,” says Morrison of Thomas. Thomas notes it was confidence that kept him from setting down that kind of time in previous races. “It was all mental. I had my coaches talking to me, building my confidence and that got me mentally ready. They believed in me so much,” says Thom- as, referring to Dragons’ coaches Dale Lapham, Craig Burrell, Gary Humber and Daryl Sneath. It’s with immense pride that both Durham Region athletes will represent Canada at the world youth champion- ships. They’re the second twosome from the Dragons’ club to qualify for worlds as, two years ago, Dustin Eldridge and Ajax’s Mike Anderson, qualified to com- Durham teens headed to youth track worlds ANNANDALEANNANDALE CHURCH ST. at BAYLY, AJAX 905-683-3210 Tournaments include Deluxe Hot & Cold Buffet or your choice of N.Y.

The game is slated for 4 p.m. at the Princess Diana field, next to the Pickering Recreation Complex on Valley Farm Road. The Lady Lynx represent the highest level of female amateur soccer in North America. “We are thrilled to provide Durham soccer fans this opportunity and what better way to celebrate women’s soccer than by showcasing some of our finest elite players,” says Tony La Ferrara, head coach of the Pickering Soccer Club. Lady Lynx players will sign autographs after the game at approximately 6:30 p.m. In addition, a raffle table and commemo- rative pin will be available for purchasing. Proceeds generated from the event will go directly to YWCA Durham. Since 1945, the YWCA has helped single women and women with children obtain shelter and access the additional services they desperately need. City youths to be part of World Cup PICKERING — Through a random draw at the Pickering Soccer Club’s recent Picture Day, two young players will receive the soccer thrill of a lifetime. Aziz Faisal, 8, and Devonne Roop- chand, 7, were picked to represent the PSC as a player escort at the FIFA U20 World Cup final in Toronto. The oppor- tunity was provided by SOS Children’s Villages, which is the official charity of the U20 World Cup. Toronto FC player Marco Reda pulled the two winning names in the draw during Picture Day at Kinsmen Park. The PSC held a fundraising sale of chocolates at its Picture Day, with all pro- ceeds to the SOS Children’s Village pro- gram ‘Let’s Play, Let’s Build’, which helps build families and future for HIV/AIDS-af- fected orphaned and abandoned children in southern Africa. In addition to Reda, who was on hand to sign autographs during Picture Day, the PSC also welcomed Canada’s women’s U17 team members Rachel Wannek, Tif- fany Cameron and Angelika Uremovich, who were on hand for autographs. [ Basketball ] C amp for kids this summer DURHAM — The Durham City Bas- ketball Association hosts a promotional summer camp in Ajax this summer and registration is just around the corner.

[ Golf ] Pickering golfer just misses repeat title PICKERING — A sudden-death play- off separated a Pickering-area golfer from the title at the 2007 Canadian Club Champi- ons Championship at Sunshine Coast Golf Club in Gibsons, B.C. last weekend. Mark Brewer, of Whitevale Golf Club in Pickering, battled Sandy Harper of the Winchelsea View Golf Club of Nanaimo, B.C. in the sudden-death playoff, with Harper only needing a single hole to wash away Brewer’s dream of a second Cana- dian Club Champions title. Harper parred the opening playoff hole, while Brewer, the 1999 Canadian Club champion, bogeyed. Harper fired a 3-under 69 in the final round to make it into a playoff with Brewer, who tied the competitive course record by shooting a blistering five-under 67 to finish the 72-hole tournament at 284. King has left the building Badminton super coach to stay involved in sport, but steps down after 21 years at Ajax High By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Wayne King is well known as the ‘King of Badminton’ among Durham Region secondary schools for his many years of contributions to the sport. But, that’s not how King, who’s retiring as a science educator after 33 years, 12 of those at Harwood Secondary School and another 21 at Ajax High School, would like to be thought of. “Academics, to me, are just as im- portant as coaching. Some see me as a badminton coach first and foremost, but I see myself as a teacher first,” says King, 58, who’s been the face of Ajax High badminton for the past 21 years, training a number of provincial champions at the school. “As much as I love badminton, I love physics just as much.” Although three years beyond his re- tirement date, King noted it was a dif- ficult decision as to whether he would make the move to end his long and successful career, teaching physics and chemistry mostly. “I put my letter (to retire) in two weeks ago as I hadn’t made up my mind,” he explains. “I love working with the kids in the classroom. There’s not a better thing to do. It’s never been a job when you do something you like. It’s never been the same thing two days in a row. “It’s time when you’re no longer able to handle things the way you want to do it; I’m just not 25 any more. The nice thing is I won’t have to get up at 7 a.m. any more, but I’ll still be going to bed at 2 a.m.” Ironically, teaching science and coaching badminton were the farthest things from his mind upon his gradua- tion from York University with degrees in chemistry and physics in 1972. Upon graduation, King worked at the Noran- da mine in Manitouwadge in northern Ontario and was offered a job as chief chemist there. But, he decided instead to return to southern Ontario in August of 1972. Upon arriving back in Durham Region, he was offered a six-week supply teach- ing job at Harwood Secondary School. Being a supply teacher in chemistry and horticulture at the vocational school (later re-named Exeter High School, and is now the site of Bolton C. Falby Public School) bit King with the teaching bug. He attended teachers’ college at Queen’s University in Kingston during 1973 and ’74, returning to Harwood full-time as the science/math department head in the fall of 1974 until leaving for Ajax High in 1986. He was the academic director at Harwood for six of those 13 years. King looks back fondly at his teaching tenure at Harwood. “Harwood was an exceptional school. It did stuff for kids I haven’t seen any other school do for kids,” he says. At Ajax High, he served as the science department head from 1988 to 1990 and again from 2001 until this year. King also notes he fell into badmin- ton at Harwood as he was asked what he could coach. He had taught kids at a Durham YMCA camp in Brooklin on Saturdays where kids played floor hock- ey and badminton, but it was a long way from actually coaching the sport. King recalls his first star badminton player was Doug Rowe of Brougham, who played for Harwood in the Toronto Vocational School League, as Harwood was not yet part of LOSSA in the mid- ✦ See Long, Page B8 ✦ See Durham, Page B3 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ajax High School teacher Wayne King is calling it a career after 33 years as a teacher. King started teaching at Harwood Secondary and then moved over to Ajax High School in 1986, where he taught chemistry and physics as well as being the long-time badminton coach.

This is only made possible through the support of a vast network of individuals and organizations that share a common goal, creating a safer environment to live, work and play in. Aquatic safety Arguably, the most popular weekend of the summer is July 1. It is also frequently a week- end where tragedy occurs. Whether it is the backyard pool or the lake at the cottage, we can reduce the risk of drowning by reminding ourselves of two simple words: rules and respect. Establishing a healthy respect of the water by teaching your child of the dangers one may face while swimming, and enforc- ing some simple rules will help ensure a summer of fond memories. Many lakes and rivers have strong currents and undertows that can eas- ily pull even a strong swimmer under or away from shore. Ensure that your child understands that these dangers may not be visible. Emphasize that what looks calm may in fact be very hazardous. Test your children by having them perform several swimming tests. This way, both you and the child learn their competence and endurance levels. Identify their weaknesses and make sure they are aware of them too. A confi dent but weak swimmer may swim out beyond their capabilities. Boundaries must be established and enforced. Like operating automobiles, piloting boats requires the same care and atten- tion. Impairment laws are the same for operators, as are insurance premiums for those who choose to ignore moderation and drive drunk. Like seatbelts, we should all be in the habit of wearing an approved personal fl oatation device. Simply put, you hope to never use it but it could really make a difference when you have it on. As with public pools, rules need to be clearly set out for those using your backyard pool. Ensure that when the pool is not in use, the fence surrounding it is locked. Set some guidelines for its use including never swimming alone, how to get in and out, the types of behaviours that will not be tolerated and the times the pool will be open. Instill in your young ones or those that can’t swim, the requirement that a competent adult swimmer must be in the pool at all times rather than just poolside. If it’s time for mom or dad to get out, then it’s time for everyone to get out. In previous articles I have promoted the idea that we are each responsible for traffi c safety, I now encourage that same personal responsibility with aquatic safety. Whether you are in the backyard, at the beach, by the dock or on the boat, understanding the dangers involved, knowing one’s limitations and abiding by some basic rules will make this summer’s water experience a pleasantly memorable one.

It’s one of my life goals,” says Morrison, who’ll enter Grade 12 at Port Perry High School in the fall. “There’s no feeling like it; no feeling in the world.” Adds Thomas: “It means a lot to me. I was a basketball player before this year. My coach, Dale Lapham, trained me hard. I worked hard and it’s gotten me to a high level.” Morrison earned his way to the Czech Republic after running at the London Dis- tance Festival in 3:50.39 in the 1,500 metres. His time was tops among North American 17-year-olds in the event this year. Several days prior to the London meet, Morrison ran for Port Perry High School at the OFSAA championships in Ottawa, where he finished with a bronze medal in 3:57. Morrison says his push to meet the qualifying standard for worlds caused him to run his fastest time ever. He believes, however, that he’s capable of running faster in Ostrava. “I just decided I wanted it,” says Morrison. “I think my time will get even better in the Czech Republic. It’s so worth it in the end. Competi- tion always helps your focus and drive.” As for personal goals for the world meet, neither Mor- rison or Thomas would get specific, preferring to keep those goals private. “It’s a huge mental block when someone says you’re not going to do that, so I’m going to keep it in here,” says Morrison. “I don’t like to tell people things and they’ll say I won’t be able to do that. I’m gonna keep it inside until I do it.” “It’s a new experience for everyone, so we’re all in the same boat,” says Thomas. “I’m just going to stick to my plan.” Morrison, Thomas and the rest of the Canadians will ar- rive in the Czech Republic on July 6 and will have a week of training to acclimatize themselves to the conditions there. Bruce Pirnie, head coach of Athletics Canada’s devel- opment programs, believes the Canadians will chal- lenge for medals at the worlds. “This year’s team is very deep and strong in almost every event area. We’re looking to improve on our 2005 results from Morocco and have medal contenders in several events.” ZZZJRRGZLOORQFD QHZLWHPVDUULYLQJKRXUO\ ([FOXGHVEUDQGQHZJRRGVDQGDXFWLRQLWHPV &KDULWDEOH5HJLVWUDWLRQ1XPEHU 55 0DFNHQ]LH3OD]D%D\O\6W:HVW Durham teens run to youth worlds Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Thomas Morrison, left, and Darryl Thomas will run for Canada at the 2007 World Youth Track and Field Championships.What’s going on in your community? Just click here✦ Durham, from Page B1 By John Foote Last Wednesday night, the American Film Institute revealed its 100 best films of all time. Obviously in this column I have no room for that many films, but I have created my annual 10 best of all time for argument. For the record I com- piled this Monday, two days before the AFI revealed its list. 1. The Godfather Part II (1974) Somehow director Francis Ford Cop- pola found a way to make the sequel to his crime masterpiece stronger and deeper than the first. This is a dark study of how an absolute power corrupts abso- lutely. Al Pacino was never better than he is here as Michael Corleone and Robert De Niro brings vivid life to the younger version of the character made iconic by Marlon Brando in the first film. 2. The Godfather (1972) Coppola did something extraordinary in his study of the Corleone family in warping the American dream and mak- ing it perverse. Brando capped a marvel- ous career as Vito Corleone but the film belongs to Pacino as his son Michael, the war hero who becomes a cold-blooded killer. Brilliant performances highlight the film, the screenplay is perfection and Coppola directs with the best of them. 3. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Be it the stunning desert vistas or the intimate character study of this most complex warrior, David Lean’s massive film is brilliant. Peter O’Toole is mag- nificent in the complex, difficult lead role, ably supported by no less than Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif, and the real star of the film, that endless, unforgiving ocean of desert. 4. Schindler’s List (1993) Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece about Oskar Schindler, the German who un- derstood what Hitler was doing to the Jews and fought, swindled, lied and cheated to keep his 1,100 Jewish factory workers from the death camps. Shot in stark black and white, the film often looks like a harsh documentary. Filmed with great genius and visual poetry. 5. The Wizard of Oz (1939) Timeless. We have all gone over the rainbow with Dorothy and her friends many times and the journey still moves me to tears when she is syringing good- bye to people she has known and will know all her life. The acting has never been given the credit it deserves. 6. The Searchers (1956) John Wayne gave his greatest perfor- mance here as racist Ethan Edwards who chases a native warrior known as Scar when the man kidnaps his nieces, rapes and murders one of them and rais- es the other as a wife. For years Edwards searches with full intent of killing the girl when he finds her because she has been tainted. When faced with her he finds the one thing he did not expect to find, his humanity. The greatest western ever made. 7. Raging Bull (1980) Martin Scorsese’s scathing study of boxer Jake Lamotta offers Robert de Niro the chance to give his finest screen per- formance. The film is an uncomfortable study of a man who could not control the rage he felt out of the ring, allowing it to govern and ruin his life. 8. Citizen Kane (1941) Hailed the greatest film of all time in the 1997 American Film Institute poll, I believe it is among the most innova- tive, certainly the most powerful film of the 40s, but better films have since been made. Still breathtaking in its execution, Orson Welles did a marvelous job creat- ing the story of Charles Foster Kane and forging the mystery of Rosebud. 9. On The Waterfront (1954) Often called the finest-acted film of the 50s, Elia Kazan’s hard-hitting study of corruption on the New York docks remains a splendid picture with superb performances from Brando, Rod Steiger, Karl Malden and Eve Marie Saint. 10. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) The final installment in the trilogy was the most moving as the director saved the best for last. The visual effects are awe-inspiring and the performances amidst that massive scope are breath- taking. Watch Aragorn turn and whisper “for Frodo” before running into battle and finally becoming the king we knew he could be... goosebumps still.

Primary ballet dancers Megan McCarthy, (left), and Emma Stanbridge danced to the Little Mermaid during their act, and both received Outstanding Performance in Ballet certificates. DURHAM — Summer will be hot at Class Act Dinner Theatre. A series of special events is planned to keep everyone entertained, said co- owner Rocky Varcoe. First up is Canadian comedian Ron James who will be performing his new show June 27, 28 and 29, before taking it on the road to the 25th anniversary of the Just for Laughs comedy festival this summer and taping his fourth TV show for CBC. Then comes Port Perry’s Ron Moore with his popular Songs in the Key of Elvis show on June 30. His appearances at Class Act always sell out, Varcoe said. Then in July, Varcoe will direct Ca- milla Scott (Guiding Light, Days of Our lives, Mamma Mia, Crazy for You, Due South, Shaw Festival, Broadway) and her husband Paul Eves (La Femme Nikita, Shaw Festival, Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story) in A.R. Gurney’s ‘Love Letters’. “This is our biggest event ever. It’s been over 12 months since I first started looking for actors from Canada for this,” Varcoe said. “It kind of came together about three months ago.” He contacted her agent about eight months ago and discussions followed, with Eves’ agent suggesting the two of them for the July 5 to 15 run. Varcoe said he’s a big fan of Scott’s and is delighted to have her and Eves play at Class Act. The play is a two-person comedy about a man and a woman who carry on a romance through correspondence over several decades. “I’ve seen it done several times. It’s so well written,” he said. “The play really is the star of the show,” said Scott in a telephone interview. “It’s a beautiful love story. It’s very funny and touching and sad. Paul and I actually did it one time for one evening for a fundraiser.” Scott, who has been working shorter runs since the birth of their son more than two years ago, and Eves are based in Toronto so won’t have far to go for the shows. ‘Love Letters’ July run will push back another summer special, ‘You Can’t Dance To Mozart’, a comedy written by local playwright and author John Green, who will also direct. This play will open Aug. 2 now. For information on any of the shows, go to www.classactdinnertheatre.com or call 905-668-2229. Camilla Scott stars at Class Act in July Ex-Pickering resident has Second City By Marva Palmer DURHAM — The adage, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again, rings true for Adam Cawley, a former Ajax- Pickering News Advertiser carrier. The 23-year-old former Pickering resi- dent had his mind set on joining the cast of The Second City, so he auditioned for three consecutive years. The third time was the charm. “A lot of people very rarely get in the first time,” Cawley said in a recent inter- view. “They [Second City] hold auditions once a year and it’s all improvised. There is nothing you can prepare. If you have a good day, you’re lucky. If you don’t have a good day, you have to wait another year,” he continued. Cawley has been doing improv since high school. He represented Pickering at the National Level of the Canadian High School Improv Games in Ottawa for two years in a row. He graduated with honours from the Comedy Writing and Performing Pro- gram at Humber College in Toronto and is a founding member of the improv group My First Crush. While attending Humber College, Cawley continued to hone his skills by attending performances of other improv artists, and studying improv at nights. He also rehearsed two nights per week with My First Crush. “I was out five nights a week at com- edy clubs and meeting people,” he said. Cawley is the youngest member of The Second City cast. Although he en- joys improv, Cawley said it is a lot of work and very challenging. The biggest challenge is the bias that young people have nothing to bring. “Sometimes young people run out of something to bring because all they’re doing is comedy,” he said. “You need time to live so you can feel your comedy. Read the papers. Read more books. If you keep doing comedy all the time, your comedy is going to become about comedy, and it’s not funny.” “As a young person, you have to know what the current state of the world is. That’s what people are most interested in. Get as much information about the world as you can, find out how you really feel about it and bring that to the stage.” Cawley said delivering the News Ad- vertiser taught him time-management skills. “I was out three nights per week de- livering the News Advertiser, going to school every day and also playing hock- ey and soccer,” he said. You can find Cawley on stage at The Second City every Monday night at 8 p.m. To find out where else he performs, visit www.myspace.com/adamcawley Marva Palmer is a News Advertiser free- lance writer. submitted photo Determination and long hours honing his craft paid off for Adam Cawley, as the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School graduate is the youngest member of The Second City.

The next year, however, Ted Gaud- er, a longtime Pickering High School teacher and LOSSA convener, allowed Harwood to participate. Rowe promptly won the LOSSA boys’ singles title and won it again the following year. “He was one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen,” says King of Rowe, who went on to win college badminton titles while attending George Brown College. Over his years at Ajax High, King coached his players to four OFSAA titles, beginning with boys’ doubles players Ross Smith and Jamie Gardner who won OFSAA gold in 1988. In 2002, another doubles pair, Vik Mo- hindra and Tony Chan, won the OFSAA title in Thunder Bay. The next year, Nathaniel Allard won the OFSAA boys’ singles title and, in 2004, he repeated as the provincial high school men’s singles champ, this time while the event was hosted at Ajax High. Allard has gone on to win multiple col- lege titles, both at the provincial and na- tional levels, while attending Centennial and Fanshawe colleges. Soon after arriving at Harwood Sec- ondary School, King founded the Har- wood Badminton Club, which turned into a public club in 1980 and continues to provide opportunities for club bad- minton players in Durham Region. Over the years, he produced a number of provincial and national champions. As well, King served as the president of the Central Ontario Badminton As- sociation for four years and is currently in his ninth year as the head badminton coach at the University of Toronto. In terms of coaching, King says he’s learned a lot from his contemporaries, including Pickering High basketball coach Ron Parfitt and Ajax High School wrestling coach Don Westlake. “The best coaches do their best work at practice and when the kids are play- ing, you let the kids play as long as their behaviour is appropriate.” King plans to remain active in bad- minton, as he’ll continue to serve as the head coach at the U of T and continue with the Harwood club. He also plans to keep his hand in the Ajax High pro- gram. As well, King hopes to do an out- reach program for schools in physics and chemistry. “I’d like to do something that get kids involved in extracurricular physics,” says King. ✦ Long, from Page B1 Long-time badminton coach set to retire
