A jury heard from the brothers during the trial of Jordan Kerwin Peniston that began in Supreme Court in Whitby on July 30. Mr. Peniston, 20, of Scarborough, faces 10 charges related to a home inva- sion on Gurr Crescent in Ajax. The brothers each gave their ac- count of the events before the jury and 911 calls each had made were played. Timur said he was startled by Mr. Peniston when he was walking up the basement stairs and the ac- cused was standing at the top with a 9-millimetre handgun. Timur said Mr. Peniston then assaulted him and held the gun to his head. Meanwhile, Bruce was in his room when he heard a loud knock on his door. He told the jury when he opened it he saw Mr. Peniston holding a gun to his brother’s head. He said he immediately slammed the door and hid in the closet. Bruce made a frantic 911 call from the closet that was played for the jury.

The an- nouncement was made in front of a crowd of her family and colleagues. Police Chief Mike Ewles put new epau- lettes on Deputy Chief Whiteway’s shirt, officially confirming her new rank. Sherry Whiteway is first female to hold deputy chief post By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Sherry Whiteway was sworn in as deputy chief on Thursday, becoming the first woman in the history of the Dur- ham Regional Police Service to hold the post. “Today is one of the most proudest moments, yet one of the most humbling, in my 27 years of service,” she said. Deputy Chief White- way has always been a trailblazer. When she started her career with the DRPS in 1980 as a frontline uniform patrol officer in Pickering, she was only the eleventh woman to be hired by the organization. She served in Ajax, Uxbridge and Whitby before moving up through the ranks to take over command of the Ajax/Pickering 19 Division. In 2004, she became head of the Communications 9-1-1 Unit. She made history in 2006 by becoming the first female superinten- dent, responsible for re- gional operations such as Air1, K-9, tactical support, traffic, marine, nuclear security, and community services. Although she wants to be a positive role model for women, Deputy Chief Whiteway says she doesn’t define herself A first for Durham police ✦ See Whiteway, Page 4 ✦ See Trial, Page 4 For more on this story durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 5, 2007 Investment Corner An information guide for fi nancial planning Investment Corner prints every other Sunday.Investment Corner prints every other Sunday.

For the first time in a long while the beach is safe for swimming. By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — For the first time in a long time Rotary Park Beach in Ajax is safe for swimming. In fact every beach in the Region, with the exception of Bowmanville Beach East in Clarington, has tested safe. “(Rotary Park Beach) essentially has been closed the vast majority of the time for the last few years,” said Ken Gorman, the director of the Region’s environmental health division. “I was pleasantly surprised to see Rotary Park has improved.” Beaches across the Region have seen an improvement in bacteria counts. “Over the last couple of weeks the counts have been coming down,” Mr. Gorman said. “Now they are consider- ably lower than the posting require- ment.” He attributes the improvement to a lack of rainfall recently. “Rain has an impact and since there hasn’t been the big flushing of mate- rial off the land and mixing of creeks... counts have gone down,” he said. “From a bathing perspective it is good news.” But, while residents are taking ad- vantage of the Region’s public beaches, Mr. Gorman urges them to practice sun safety, use sunscreen and wear hats. The Durham Region Health Depart- ment tests waters at designated public beaches throughout the Region as part of its Beach Monitoring Program. Test results for the week of July 30 found only one beach unsafe for swim- ming due to elevated bacterial levels Throughout the summer, the Dur- ham Region Health Department con- ducts bacteriological water tests to de- termine if beaches are safe for swim- ming.

Surrounded by her large fam- ily, the new deputy chief promised to bring honesty, integrity and a sense of right and wrong to the post and to con- nect with youth in the community. Deputy Chief Whiteway said she is committed to helping the organization establish a new flat line approach to leadership, where young officers are encouraged to make decisions. Terry Clayton, chairman of the po- lice services board, said the decision to choose a new deputy chief was difficult given the high calibre of internal appli- cants. Inspector Mike Ennis, who was another applicant for the post, will be appointed the acting superintendent. “He was a very strong candidate,” Chief Mike Ewles said. “He will be an asset to the team.” Chief Ewles said he worked closely with the police board to choose the new deputy -- the vacancy for which was left when he was promoted to chief in May. When Timur escaped he said he ran upstairs and barricaded Mr. Peniston in the basement by putting the kitchen table in front of the door. At this point he also called 911. In the call, the jury heard Timur tell the 911 operator what was happening while yelling at the accused to not at- tempt to open the basement door. “You hit the wrong house today my friend,” Timur is heard screaming. Officers who testified during the trial said the accused escaped through the backyard, that set them off on a chase that lasted nearly 30 minutes. Durham Regional Police Constable Ian Jolicoer, the officer who eventually arrested the accused, said during the chase he drove his vehicle backwards on Westney Road, blew a tire on a po- lice cruiser, the canine unit was called in and an arrest was eventually made at gunpoint after Mr. Peniston is said to have slipped on a driveway after it started raining. Three schools in Ajax were locked down for about an hour while police remained at the scene. Mr. Peniston faces a range of weapon- related charges, including possession of a handgun for a dangerous purpose, possession of a stolen wallet and pos- session of cocaine, ecstasy and mari- juana for the purpose of trafficking. The trial is expected to continue Tuesday. The jury is expected to come to a decision sometime next week.

The lights will be installed from the Pickering border east- erly to Church Street. Carol Coleman, the Town’s manager of engineering, capital projects, said it will be “a few months yet” before the lights are in. “We have to get a few things sorted out with Veridian and we have to tender it,” she states, adding it would be “three or four months” before the work is completed. Putting in the lights was a recommendation staff made to council, but added the lights wouldn’t be installed for one to three years. Councillors, how- ever, felt the lights should be installed sooner. The cost to install the lights is about $64,400, quite a bit less than the original estimated cost of about $200,000. In a recent report to coun- cillors, Ms. Coleman said the savings came from using exist- ing hydro poles to attach the brackets and lights. “Only three new hydro poles are required to provide ad- equate illumination levels. As well, it should be noted that the brackets and luminaries may potentially be reused,” she noted. Putting in the lights is an un- budgeted project. To pay for it, a project to relocate the north- ern entrance into the Ajax Plaza is being put off for a year. The relocation project carries a cost of about $75,000. Ms. Coleman wrote the plaza project will be resubmitted in next year’s budget. Residents will be notified in writing at least two weeks be- fore the work is done. 1.www.passporttosavings.ca 2.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Common sense will help beat the heat With temperatures hitting a high of 35 C on Wednes- day and hovering the rest of the week above 30 C there have been news reports about cellphones and MP3 players literally melting from the heat after being left in vehicles mid-day. While replacing any of those devices is an inconve- nience, that’s not the worst thing that you could leave in your car. In Toronto there was a report of a three-year-old Rottweiler being left for several hours in a mini-van Tues- day. The dog was rescued but it’s in critical condition. Its owner has been charged. This incident should give everyone pause for thought but especially parents and caregivers. How many times have children been left in cars while mom or dad has gone into a store, a bank or other place of business for what they expect to be a quick trip? It happens every day and we sel- dom give it much thought. But, in this heat and humidity, nothing should be left in a vehicle for any amount of time. Factoring in humidity levels the temperature outside this week felt as if it were in the 40 C range. Inside a car, howev- er, that temperature would feel more like 70 C. Food could literally cook in temperatures that high. You wouldn’t leave your children in the oven, so you shouldn’t leave them in the car either. It’s safer for all involved to travel together and try to stay in shaded, air-conditioned environments. The best way to remain cool, though, is to visit a splash pad or swimming pool at any number of our community centres across Durham Region. Hours of operation have been extended this week to help residents beat the heat and they will continue until this heatwave has moved out of the area. For updated hours of operation check the fol- lowing numbers: • Ajax — visit www.townofajax.com or call 905-427- 8811. • Pickering — call 905-683-6582 for updates. It is hot but using a common-sense approach will help everyone remain cool. This bird story has happy ending To the editor: On arrival this morning we saw a wounded sea gull in our parking lot. The poor bird had a drooping wing and was, evidently, unable to fly. Because we are a car and motorcycle dealer, we were afraid the bird would be hit by a vehicle, ei- ther by our technicians moving cars or by customers coming in for service. After some discussion and re-reading your article about the unhappy ending in a similar situation we contacted the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC). They, at first, suggested we corner it and put it in a box and wait for them. Finding this to be nearly impossible because of the work- load at the time, we called back and they found another solu- tion. Within two hours the TWC truck showed up and a nice young lady took out her nets and, within five minutes, she was gone with the gull in a box in her truck. Bravo TWC for saving the bird and making us all feel bet- ter. Donald McGovern, Mark Wigglesworth Pickering Village Motors It’s all right there in black and white — no Google required Given my profession it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I am a big fan of the newspaper. I enjoy everything about them but most of all I enjoy the fact that I can pick up a news- paper and flip through it in any manner I please. There are no passwords required, they don’t need to be booted up and, best of all, I don’t have to do a Google search to find the information I need. It’s all right there in black and white. Beautiful. This is not to say I do not appreciate computers. They’ve helped revolution- ize the industry, enabling us to do so much more with such efficiency. But sometimes faster isn’t necessarily bet- ter. Let me explain. Most newspapers have libraries where past issues are stored. The first newspaper I worked at, The Morrisburg Leader, had bound issues going back to before Confederation. It was a custom- ary practice at community newspapers back in the day to archive actual news- papers. The News Advertiser is no ex- ception. However, sometime in the 1990s, computers changed all that. Instead of binding issues it was thought they could be archived electronically. Theoreti- cally, it made sense. It saved time and money and, most importantly, space. But technology changes and so too do our operating systems. Try to access an issue at any community newspaper from 1995 for example. It’s difficult, if not impossible because you have to have the medium to access the mes- sage. In 1995 most newspapers used Quark XPress; today we use InDesign. Libraries provide a valuable service, putting many community newspapers on microfiche but even those machines are being phased out in most munici- palities. My fear is the potential loss of our history. It just seems wrong that I can pull out a newspaper from the 1970s easier than I can one published in 1999. Like I said before, there’s nothing better than an actual newspaper. It can never be lost in cyberspace. Ian McMillan’s column ap- pears periodically. E-mail him at imcmillan@durhamregion.com.

Luke set up his stand in front of his home on Deerbrook Drive recently and raised $61 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Activist praises Ajax for endeavours AJAX — The Town was praised by a com- munity activist for its work in promoting multiculturalism. Speaking to Ajax council recently, Roland Rutland said, “We congratulate the Town for its commitment to multiculturalism and for the promotion of diversity, in its broadest sense. The Town is a municipal leader in this area in Durham Region.” Ajax has a race relations policy and has staged multicultural festivals, he noted. “The Town, as a result of the vision and work ethic of its former race relations com- mittee, has brought much recognition and prestige to the Town and, as a result, has received national and international awards for its work,” Mr. Rutland said. “Tremendous leadership” has been shown by the school boards in promoting multicultural programs “beyond the mere celebratory aspects of multiculturalism. They have developed strong and sustain- able social justice platforms to their pro- grams.” He made the comments while speaking about Canadian Multicultural Day, which is June 27, and National Aboriginal Day, which is June 21. The two dates “should also be a time for reflection. What have we done? What are we doing now? “And, what are our future plans to pro- mote a culture of awareness and under- standing for multiculturalism and diversity in the community we care so much for,” he asked, noting “these are issues for the whole community to get involved in. “I find it difficult to celebrate these two dates when there are so many issues to deal with. Suicide rates in aboriginal communi- ties are high. Mental health concerns, drug abuse and alcoholism, low literacy levels, are ongoing social issues in many aborigi- nal communities in Ontario,” Mr. Rutland stated. “These social issues are like a cancer, eating away at the fabric of the community. They’re not only restricted to aboriginal communities.” Pat on back for diversity work As a mature Canadian, just about now is when you might be contemplating a trip south during our cold winter. And this year the strong loonie makes the U.S. south more aff ordable for greater numbers than in many years. But here’s a word of advice – if you are thinking that the extra value of the Canadian buck might translate into a longer stay, make sure you don’t fall afoul of Canadian residency rules. Th e fi rst rule for the prospective snowbird is, plan ahead as much as pos- sible, looking around for good early-bird deals on travel health insurance and keeping your eye on relative real estate prices down south. If you are eyeing the United States, you may be planning to move perma- nently or else spend long months of the year south of the border as an integral part of your retirement. But did you know that your time spent in the U.S. might cause you to be deemed a resident of the U.S. for income taxes, estate taxes or both? Conversely, you may be deemed to no longer be a resident of Canada, and could be risking govern- ment benefi ts, income-tax breaks, deductions and credits. Th ose wanting to take advan- tage of lower income-tax rates in another country may fi nd that the CRA (Canadian Rev- enue Agency) still considers them to be residents of Canada for income-tax purposes. And in a worst-case scenar- io, one may be deemed to be a resident of both countries. Deemed residency is an in- come-tax classifi cation used in both Canada and the U.S. to determine whether an individ- ual pays income tax in a par- ticular jurisdiction on income streams. Th e opportunity of double taxation exists where snow- birds are subjected to income tax in Canada and the U.S. on the same income. Th ere are diff erent treatments of income not just at the federal level of each country but at a provincial and state levels as well. Certain exemptions and reductions are available to minimize unfair- ness to taxpayers. Th e Canadian income-tax system is based on residency, not citizenship. As such, Canadian resi- dents are liable for income tax on their worldwide income. Canada only taxes non-residents on Canadian-source in- come. In the U.S., both citizens and residents are taxed on their worldwide income. Canadian residents can be deemed to be U.S. residents according to the 183- day rule, or “physical presence” test. To see if your residency status will be af- fected, use the following calculation. Add up the total number of days spent in the U.S. in the current year, one/third of the days spent in the U.S. in the previ- ous year and one/sixth of the days spent in the U.S. the year before that. If your “physical presence” in the U.S. totals 183 days or more, you will be deemed to be a U.S. resident. A key question to ask when travelling for extended periods is whether there is an intention to leave Canada or whether there is a risk of being deemed to be a resident of the U.S. In either case, en- sure that documentation regarding such items as directives is recognized in the new domicile. Th is can be problematic even if moving between provinces, let alone countries. Th ere are steps you can take to avoid being deemed a U.S. resident after meet- ing the physical-presence test. Th e tax and estate-planning issues are complex and based on the facts of each particu- lar case. Use the services of a qualifi ed fi nancial or tax professional to help you explore the use of corporations and trusts to protect assets both in tax and estate- planning processes.

Th at level of funding also means many homes have to rob other budgets in order to provide residents with a diet that meets provincial regulations while matching the special nutrition needs of an elderly and often ill population. Th e charges come in the wake of July’s 11-cent-a-day increase in the province’s “raw food cost allowance.” Th e Dietitians of Canada, the Registered Nurses Asso- ciation of Ontario and the Ontario Long Term Care Association had pressed the government to hike the food per diem by more than $1.50 to $7 a day. Instead, the province’s health ministry – which regu- lates and partially funds Ontario’s long- term-care centres – chose to match the infl ation rate, raising the allowance by 11 cents. Funding for that hike comes primarily through a corresponding increase in resi- dents’ fees. Ontario expects nursing homes to pro- vide residents with three nutritious meals and three healthy snacks using food bought with that $5.57 per person per day allow- ance. (Staff and preparation costs come from another portion of their budgets.) Th e result is that seniors are getting “diets that meet the Canada food guide,” says di- etitian Leslie Whittington-Carter, but it’s happening at the expense of choice, and by substituting processed foods for whole foods or seasonal fruits and vegetables.

By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Driving north on most major roads in Durham, it only takes a few minutes to reach the “other” side of the region. Away from the manufacturing and business centres of the five lakeshore communities, Durham is mainly green. From the lengthy nature trails of the Oak Ridges Moraine to the little businesses and picturesque towns nestled amongst the greenery, the region’s northern reaches pres- ent a nature-lover’s delight -- and a jewel in the Durham tourism crown. Brian Buckles, a member of Uxbridge Naturally, understands what a tourism draw the local landscape can be. Along with his colleagues at Uxbridge Naturally and other conservation organi- zations, Mr. Buckles is working hard to create a series of linked trails that will connect the green spaces in the north with each other and ultimately with the urban centres in the south. “So you can walk from here to the city of Toronto,” he said, standing on the edge of Timber’s Pit in Uxbridge, a former aggre- gate pit that was reclaimed and is being revitalized by the Toronto and Area Conservation Author- ity. “There’s no reason why you can’t go through publicly-owned lands.” The plan would mean co- operation from the federal government and a commitment from local stakeholders, but Mr. Buckles says the results would be “incredible” -- drawing more people to use and experience the beautiful nature on display in Durham Region. And more visitors to the local natural sites would be good news to those who make their living catering to the tourism sector. Just off Hwy. 12, a few kilo- metres southeast of the historic town of Port Perry, sits the Ocala Orchards Farm Winery. Situ- ated on 100 acres of land in the moraine, the family-owned busi- ness takes advantage of its natu- ral surroundings to operate as a tourist destination. “We deal basically with the tourist industry,” owner Irwin Smith recently told a group of guests gathered for lunch in the winery’s reception room -- known as “The Loft.” “We have different events throughout the year,” he added. From a harvest festival that showcases the vineyards to an artisan’s Christmas show that features the work of local artists, Mr. Smith and his wife, Alissa, draw in tourists by the bus load. Because of restrictions placed on wineries by the liquor board, Mr. Smith says it is more profit- able for his family to operate the business as a tourist destination than to make money just selling their unique wine. The goal of Ocala is similar to that of all tourism-related business scattered throughout the eight municipalities that make up Durham: to draw in visitors by offering a unique expe- rience. More than 500 Durham busi- nesses are included under the tourism industry umbrella and they are a diverse bunch: from hotels, restaurants and farms to museums, galleries and arenas. Kerri King, chairwoman of the Durham Tourism Leadership Team, thinks the solution to bridging the differences between them may lie in a seasonal mar- keting approach. “In different seasons, different things happen throughout the region,” she said. “So, say in the wintertime, we focus on Scugog because we have ice fishing and all the things that happen there during the winter. In the sum- mer we focus on the Jazz festival because that could potentially be a regionwide event or to all the farming initiatives we have going on in Clarington and maybe some of the water stuff going on in Pickering on the waterfront.” The Leadership Team, made up of representatives from dif- ferent sectors of the tourism industry, is working together to enhance the overall tourism package by narrowing down the marketing focus. Andrea Monaghan, man- ager of tourism for the Region, says that having an identifi- able tourism pack- age will help all busi- nesses -- even those not directly included in the marketing brand. “The core attractions are the reason people do the trip, the main pull,” she said. “But the supporting attractions get the business, too.” Ms. Monaghan explains what is known in tourism marketing as the “four times” rule: for every hour someone travels to the des- tination, they want four hours of entertainment. If they spend 20 per cent of that time at the core attraction, they will spend the remaining time at supporting businesses, such as restaurants and accommoda- tions or other local venues. “Everyone benefits,” she said. So the thinking is that if more visitors can be drawn into the region to experience the lakes, trails and cultural festivals -- no matter which the marketing focusses on -- all tourism-related business will be booming. Bob Shepherd, the mayor of Uxbridge, is a strong believer that marketing the natural and cul- tural features of his municipality can bring economic prosperity. Nestled as it is just north of the Oak Ridges Morraine, the town of Uxbridge is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the tourism that results from marketing the trails contained within the gov- ernment-protected lands. On a recent tour of the Green- belt, organized in part by Ontario Nature and Uxbridge Naturally, Mr. Shepherd said the area’s economic development plan is focused on attracting more visi- tors and less developers. “I don’t support the philosophy that you have to grow to prosper,” he said. “Culture, heritage and tourism -- that’s our future.” 8e`ekXe^`Yc\8e`ekXe^`Yc\ `e[ljkip "CFIJOEUIFTDFOFTMPPLBUXIBU ESJWFT%VSIBNTUPVSJTNTFDUPS Business News Advertiser Sunday, August 5, 2007 newsdurhamregion.com TRENDset Note “Businesses need to make retention an ongoing priority.

The teams played their third of four round-robin games at the Port Perry waterfront diamonds during the annual three-day Diamond Duster slo-pitch tournament. The event involved 78 teams from across southern Ontario. Nkiwane takes over from Horner with junior ‘A’ hockey team AJAX — The Ajax Attack has hired an assistant coach after one of its assistants stepped down in advance of training camp. Trevor Nkiwane has come on board as an assistant to head coach John Winder for the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey League club’s 2007-08 season. Nkiwane was a head coach in the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ hockey organization for the past four years, serving as the head coach of the Raiders’ minor midg- ets last season. Nkiwane will replace former assistant Steve Horner, who has decided to step down. He’s still expected to stay involved in hock- ey as an assistant with a Raiders’ team this season. Winder says Nkiwane was an obvious choice to move into ju- nior hockey as an assistant. “Trevor has junior experience as a player and brings a tremendous amount of experience and knowl- edge to our program,” says Winder, beginning his first full campaign at the helm of the Attack. As well, Winder was sad to learn of Horner’s departure from the junior squad. “I have worked with Steve in both Pickering (with the Panthers) and Ajax and will miss his hard work and dedication,” says Wind- er. Nkiwane will focus on work with the Attack forwards for the coming season. Other Attack as- sistant, T.J. Hill, who’ll return to the bench this season, will switch from offence to defence for the coming season. The Attack’s 2007-08 campaign begins with the club’s main train- ing camp that opens at the Ajax Community Centre on Thursday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. A total of 48 invi- tees will take part in the camp. The club’s pre-season schedule is as follows: • Ajax Attack at Peterborough Stars, Saturday, Aug. 25 at Evin- rude Community Centre at 2:30 p.m.; • Peterborough Stars at Ajax At- tack, Tuesday, Aug. 28 at Ajax Community Centre at 7 p.m.; • Cobourg Cougars at Ajax Attack, Wednesday, Aug. 29 at Ajax Com- munity Centre at 6 p.m.; • Ajax Attack at Cobourg Cougars, Tuesday, Sept. 4 at Cobourg Me- morial Arena at 7 p.m. New assistant coach to go behind Ajax Attack bench this season Owen Sound pulls away in third period for 6-3 win in senior ‘B’ lacrosse opener By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Rock coach Paul St. John said his players will be better prepared for Game 2. That statement came following a less-than-stellar effort by the Rock in the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ final series opener against the Owen Sound Woodsmen in Owen Sound on Thursday night. The Rock’s usually reliable offence went south in a disappointing 6-3 loss. With the Game 1 setback, to- night’s Game 2 in Pickering takes on heightened significance for the Rock as another loss would put them firmly behind the eight-ball, with Game 3 headed back to Owen Sound on Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 8:30 p.m. Most importantly, the Rock of- fence had better get back on track in a hurry, or a projected long best- of-five series could turn into their second consecutive series loss in the Ontario final. “Our offence just didn’t show up,” noted St. John. “We didn’t have a lot of good chances on them. Our offence wasn’t in sync all night. We were making the extra pass and we were looking to make fancy plays. We’ll be way better on Sunday night, for sure.” The Woodies kept Rock leading scorer Wayne Burke in check. The team also played Thursday with- out captain Jim Veltman, who was unavailable, as well as without John Rosa and Chris Parkin, who’s emerged as a reliable sniper during the post-season. Rosa and Parkin are expected to return for tonight’s game; Veltman will not play. St. John noted the coaching staff’s fear of a letdown coming into the series came true on Thursday. With a Presidents Cup (Canadian cham- pionship) berth locked up, the team played without a sense of urgency. “It was important to us (the coaching staff) that they not down- play this series. They’re still giddy that they’re going to the Big Show (nationals) and this is a sideshow. “Our goal as a team is to win the Ontario championship, so we have to get back to the task at hand, and the Ontario championship is the task at hand.” Rock starting goaltender Mike Miron, said St. Mike, couldn’t be faulted as his strong play allowed the Rock to get back in the game. At one point in the third period, the Rock trailed 4-3, but a fifth Owen Sound goal seemed to take the wind out of their sails. The Woodsmen added their sixth goal with under a minute to play. St. John said a brief skirmish that erupted at the end of Thursday’s game will also add fuel to the Rock’s fire tonight. The benches cleared, words exchanged, but definitely the bad blood is starting to fester be- tween the teams. “They’re chippy and very verbal,” deadpanned St. John. “They like to talk the talk, but won’t walk the walk.” Josh Black recorded a goal and two assists to lead Ajax-Pickering scorers. Jamie Plunkett and Joel Johnson notched the other goals.

For Great Job Opportunities check out our general employment section Conservatives want to bring all religious schools into public system By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — While campaigning in Pickering Wednesday, Ontario’s Pro- gressive Conservation lead- er John Tory said provid- ing funding to faith-based schools is an issue of fairness. Mr. Tory is promising, if elected this fall, his party will appoint ex-premier Bill Davis to lead a commission to in- vestigate the best way to bring faith-based schools into the public system. “The issue has been around,” said Mr. Tory. “When I worked with (Mr.) Davis, in 1975, we had delegations coming in.” The delegations noted the system wasn’t fair, saying the province was paying for the Catholic system, but not other faiths. “They’ve continued to talk to successive governments about the unfairness,” said Mr. Tory. “They were totally outside the public system.” Oshawa MPP Conserva- tive Jerry Ouellette said the issue of public funds for pri- vate schools is something he’s faced every time he’s cam- paigned since 1995. The pros and cons of doing so would have to be worked out during Mr. Davis’ review, he added. “Well, it’s kind of a double- edged sword,” said Mr. Ouel- lette of providing funding. A Durham Christian school principal, George Petrusma, said more public funds is at- tractive but there needs to be much discussion before religious-based schools jump at the idea. His school, Knox Christian in Bowmanville, participates in national stan- dardized tests, unlike schools within the current public sys- tem, which use testing from Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office. Mr. Ouellette said during caucus meetings, his party discussed some of the things Mr. Davis would have to look into, including if they would have to join the public sys- tem, would they have elected officials and would the public board administer the fund- ing. His party is promising $800 million more for educa- tion, and $400 million for the faith-based schools, which would be separate as far as he knows. He can’t see the potential change as equaling less funds for existing school boards and added he needs more details to ensure the faith-based funding wouldn’t negatively affect the public boards. As to if the change could promote segregation, Mr. Ouellette said there’s a lot of Canadian information faith- based schools aren’t current- ly teaching. “There’s a lot of concern about a lot of certain sectors will not be integrated into so- ciety,” said Mr. Ouellette. If someone’s primary language is not English and the faith- based schools were given public funding, they would have to follow Ontario’s cur- riculum that includes English, French, Canadian history and geography.
