HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2008_01_02DURHAM — It started as a trick-
le, built into a wave and finally be-
came a tidal bore of compassion
and patriotism.
It was the spontaneous outpour-
ing of grief and respect that became
a symbol of the event we have de-
clared Newsmaker of the Year in
this region: the Highway of Heroes
salutes which marked the arrival
back in Canada of our fallen sol-
diers in Afghanistan.
Before this year, the trip down
Hwy. 401 from Trenton to Toronto
-- a part of every final journey taken
by a Canadian soldier who died
in combat in Afghanistan -- was a
quiet one. Yes, there was a spotlight
placed on the sacrifice and bravery
of our men and women who paid
the ultimate price -- but it usually
came and went with the ramp cer-
emonies in Kandahar and Trenton
followed by the military funeral ser-
vice held in the hometown of the
deceased.
But 2007 was different.
Ordinary citizens wanted to pay a
unique tribute to the men and one
woman who lost their lives this year
defending freedom.
Once it was known when the
military convoy containing the cof-
fin of the deceased would make
its way along the Highway of He-
roes, Durham residents made their
way down to the nearest Hwy. 401
bridge. They carried Canadian
flags, designed heartfelt home-
made signs and showed by their
presence just how much they ap-
preciated what our soldiers have
done. They wanted to be there and
people turned out by the thousands
to pay their respects to the fallen
and their families.
The beauty of it for many was
that it was not a specially orga-
nized, pre-planned event. It came
from the heart and was a revelation
that in normally quiet, reserved
Canada, we can stand up and be
proud of our troops. And we can
show them we love them.

Ajax-Pickering MP
reflects on greatest
accomplishments
and let-downs in 2007
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — While Ajax-Pickering
MP Mark Holland was disappointed that
some of his ideas
w ere slowed down
due to parliament’s
delayed return in
October, he’s hopeful
his projects will still
be adopted.
Mr. Holland was
most proud of his
role on the Bill C-
30 (Canada’s Clean
Air Act and Climate
Change Act) com-
mittee, which basically revised the act
into a carbon-budgeting plan and ad-
dressed climate change.
“I spent several months of my life living
and breathing C-30,” he said.
Mr. Holland’s biggest disappointment of
the year was it not being adopted, despite
being well-received by both environmen-
tal groups and industry.
For example, a key feature allows indus-
tries that have carbon emissions higher
than a certain threshold to put some of the
penalty money into an account they could
recover if they spent it on new capital
measures to reduce gas emissions.
He said the idea brings together both
sides of the equation, enough that “I think
it is going to be the plan that will be ad-
opted.”
He’s dedicated to updating animal cru-
elty laws in 2008, and has introduced a
private members’ bill. He explained the
laws were last updated in 1897, and ani-
mals are still viewed as chattel, having
no more rights than a chair or a table. He
noted only one-quarter of one per cent of
all animal abuse complaints actually re-
sult in conviction, and that violent activity
doesn’t usually stop with animals.
“It’s often a precursor to other violent
activity,” he said.
Mr. Holland believes there will be an
election in 2008 since, first, he sees a
number of issues coming to a head. For
example, he called the way Canada be-
haved in Bali when discussing the Kyoto
negotiations “an international disgrace.”
Secondly, he believes Afghanistan and the
extension of the mission would be unjus-
tifiable.
There will be a vote in the spring on
whether to extend the mission to 2011,
which the Liberals are strongly against.
“I think that the opposition parties have
no more tolerance for the government’s
inaction,” he said.
He believes if there is an election,
the Pickering airport lands should be a
major issue in the campaign, not only in
Pickering, but throughout all of Durham.
He said the way the government has han-
dled it in the past two years is a “complete
reversal” of the direction the Liberals were
going when they planned to get a proper
clear and transparent peer review, which
didn’t happen.
He also sees a disconnect between the
opposition parties and finds a lack of in-
terest in finding a middle ground.
Dickson wants local
issues addressed
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — One thing is sure at Queen’s
Park.
Ontarians won’t be heading to the polls
in 2008, what with Dalton McGuinty and
his Liberals coasting to a resounding vic-
tory this past October. When the legis-
lature actually returns and gets back to
business is up for debate, says newly-
elected Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson.
He’s heard it could be anywhere from
mid to late February to late March.
When the legislature reconvenes, the
top priority for the government will be the
budget, he says.
“The budget is the big key. There are
a number of key issues we have to deal
with in Durham and will impact Ajax and
Pickering,” he says.
These include “significant dollars for
transit and transportation,” he adds.
The Province made a recent announce-
ment of $400 million for “GO train and
transportation in general.”
“The Highway 407 is always a priority.
The environmental assessment is coming
close to an end. As
far as I’m concerned,
the sooner it comes,
the better,” Mr. Dick-
son states.
The budget will
probably come out in
late March, Mr. Dick-
son says.
“It depends on
when the legislature
is back. We’ve had e-
mails that it will be
one week after the long weekend in Feb-
ruary,” Mr. Dickson says.
However, he’s also seen a media re-
port that had the legislature back in late
March.
“There are a multitude of other things
I’d like to see happen. The day-to-day
things are being dealt with quickly.”
One such item is the rate of accidents
by new drivers who have attended a driv-
ing school, he says. The provincial audi-
tor general’s report released in early De-
cember found a higher rate of accidents
among graduates than non-graduates.
The government has already taken ac-
tion, such as driving instructors won’t be
licensed to do their jobs if they have any
demerit points on their driving record or
any Criminal Code convictions.
“Always in the back of minds is the
economy,” Mr. Dickson says, especially
“oil prices and the looney’s impact on in-
dustry. With the decline in the American
economy, we’ll probably have to squeeze
our belts for a while.”
Locally, the one thing he’s looking for-
ward to is the 82-unit housing devel-
opment proposed by the Ajax Munici-
pal Housing Corporation. It will be built
somewhere in the Ajax downtown and will
“accommodate seniors and a few chal-
lenged people, physically and mentally,”
he adds.
It’s been a decade since non-profit
housing has been constructed, Mr. Dick-
son states.
“It’s long overdue. There’s a million
cases out there of people who don’t want
a handout, but they want a hand up.”

Gunner Jonathan
Dion died early
Sunday
DURHAM — Plans are
being finalized at CFB
Trenton for a repatriation
ceremony expected to be
held Wednesday afternoon
for Gunner Jonathan Dion.
The 27-year-old soldier was
killed early Sunday morn-
ing after his armoured ve-
hicle hit a roadside explo-
sive in Afghanistan.
Bridge tributes are ex-
pected to be staged once
again along the 401 in
Northumberland and Dur-
ham Region as Gunner
Dion’s body is taken to To-
ronto for a post-mortem.
The repatriation is tenta-
tively set for 2 p.m. Wednes-
day and confirmation of the
schedule is expected later
today.
Gunner Dion was with
the 5th Régiment d’Artillerie
légère du Canada from Val-
d’Or, Que. He was killed
and four other soldiers
injured when their T-LAV
-- an older-model light-ar-
moured vehicle that has
been refurbished and re-
armoured -- struck a road-
side bomb shortly after 9
a.m. local time about 20 ki-
lometres west of Kandahar
city.
In a statement, Prime
Minister Stephen Harper
said he was deeply sad-
dened by Gunner Dion’s
death and wished the four
injured soldiers a speedy
recovery.
“These brave Canadian
soldiers were helping bring
hope to a population that
has seen much hardship,”
Mr. Harper said.
“We will not forget the sac-
rifice made by Gunner Dion
while working to make life
better for others.”
Gunner Dion is the 74th
Canadian soldier to die in
Afghanistan and most of
those fatalities have been
the result of improvised ex-
plosive devices.
If the repatriation cer-
emony does occur at 2 p.m.
Wednesday the entourage
carrying Gunner Dion’s
body would pass through
Northumberland on the
“Highway of Heroes” short-
ly after 2:30 p.m. and con-
tinue through Durham Re-
gion shortly before 3 p.m.

Old facility in south Oshawa
not cutting it
By Melissa Mancini
mmancini@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Conditions at the Humane
Society of Durham Region have reached the
point employees can’t plug in a microwave
without losing power, the roof leaks con-
stantly and the front door has fallen off the
hinges three times in the past month.
The current facility is located at 199 Wa-
terloo St. in Oshawa and is usually home to
about 160 to 180 cats, six or more dogs and
many other small pets.
The group has been looking for years for
a piece of land to build a new 5,000 square-
foot facility.
They now have their eye on a property in
the Town of Whitby, said Cindy Bennett, Hu-
mane Society of Durham Region secretary.
The land is on the south side of Conlin Road,
just west of Thickson Road.
In order for the group to use the land,
which is owned by the Town, it would need
to be rezoned.
Jennifer Morrison, manager of econom-
ic development for the Town, said Whitby
identified 13 possible properties for the
group to look at in January 2007.
Bill Lane, Humane Society board vice-
president, said the Conlin Road property
is the group’s first choice for relocation be-
cause it is the most suited to its needs. He
said they are waiting for an appraisal of the
land, but the Society plans on bidding on it
if the price is within its budget.
But the Humane Society is not guaranteed
the land. There may be other parties inter-
ested in the lot, in which case there would
have to be a competitive bidding process.
Ms. Bennett said the current facility has
cages for 60 cats, but there are usually triple
that amount.
The dog kennels can only house eight
dogs. If there are any more then they have
to be put in the washrooms. She described
the condition of the kennels they do have as
deplorable.
“There are no windows, no natural light,”
she said.
Ruby Richards, the shelter manager, said
most people can’t stand to spend much time
at the shelter because of the conditions.
She said problems happen so often it has
become a case of wondering what could
possibly happen next.
To ensure a new facility would meet the
needs of the society, Ms. Richards has been
touring other shelters.
She has been finding out what works at
other locations and what aspects employees
there would change if they could.
Once the land is in place the Humane
Society will launch a fundraising campaign
called “Raise the Woof” for the building
project.
Mr. Lane said all of the money the group
gets is through fundraising, they receive no
government funding or grants.
Humane Society still looking for new locale

PICKERING — By far, the News Advertiser
has received more letters regarding former
Councillor Maurice Brenner than any other
news item in 2007, and they continue to
pour in.
Durham Regional Police charged Mr.
Brenner with breach of trust by a public
officer and two counts each of fraud under
$5,000 and uttering a forged document in
May 2006.
City of Pickering officials had filed a re-
port with the police, alleging Mr. Brenner
submitted false reports for outside clerical
services and reimbursements between 1999
and 2000, adding up to $5,400. But in June,
Mr. Brenner was cleared of the charges by an
Ontario Court of Justice.
But it didn’t stop there. In September,
Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell
asked staff to look into the City’s handling of
the matter, especially how the invoices were
obtained and how the matter was brought to
police.
Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson
also expressed his distaste with the lack of
consultation on the matter, since members of
Council were not aware of the charges until
they were made public. However, Mayor
Dave Ryan said he felt making it public dur-
ing the investigation, even to Council, was
inappropriate and felt he had Mr. Brenner’s
best interest in mind.
The City’s chief administrative officer,
Tom Quinn, and City solicitor Andrew Alli-
son prepared the report, and lengthy discus-
sion followed. They found nothing but poor
housekeeping as to how the invoices were
taken from City Hall.
Journalist Dale Gold-
hawk, who obtained
the files, later stated
he received them in an
anonymous brown en-
velope.
Regarding the po-
lice investigation, City
treasurer Gil Paterson
was satisfied with his
own due diligence re-
view in 2003. But soon
after, Mayor Ryan re-
ceived e-mails from Mr. Goldhawk asking
for an official response to the matter, and felt
he had an obligation to protect public funds
and confidence in the organization. He and
Mr. Quinn asked then-City solicitor John
Reble to conduct a further investigation.
After seeking advice from other lawyers, in-
cluding a Durham Region Crown Attorney,
he was instructed to turn over the file so it
could be forwarded to the police.
Unsatisfied after the discussion, Coun.
Dickerson then brought forward a mo-
tion requesting the City to reimburse Mr.
Brenner’s legal fees of nearly $50,000, which
was brought to Council in October. After
much debate, and deferring the matter to yet
another Council meeting in November, the
motion was defeated.
The story will likely continue since Mr.
Brenner has filed the City of Pickering,
Mayor Ryan, and Dave Ryan as an individual
each with a notice of intent.

Panel discussion takes
p lace Jan. 10
DURHAM — The Canadian Auto
Workers (CAW) will host a public
forum on Durham’s proposed en-
ergy-from-waste facility on Jan. 10.
The union’s regional environmen-
tal council is inviting Durham and
York Region residents to attend the
event, which will include an expo
and a panel discussion.
“Our council proudly represents
more than 33,000 CAW members.
They, together with all citizens of
Durham Region, are entitled to a
broader set of facts on energy from
waste than are being provided by our
politicians and bureaucrats,” said
Dave Renaud, president of CAW’s
local environmental council, in a
prepared statement.
The organization said the presen-
tation will look at health concerns,
economic impact, employment is-
sues, opportunities to access fund-
ing for sustainable waste alternatives
and other related concerns.
Speakers confirmed so far include
Paul Connett, a waste management
researcher, and Rod Muir, waste di-
version campaigner for the Sierra
Club of Canada.
The union is also inviting repre-
sentatives from the Region to sit on
the panel.
The event will be held at the CAW
Local 222 Hall at 1425 Phillip Murray
Ave., Oshawa. Doors open at 5:30
p.m. for an expo and the discussion
will begin at 7 p.m.

Highway of Heroes
Newsmaker of Year surprised many
Often, when looking back on a year, it can be easy to pick
a top Durham Region newsmaker. In past years we’ve
selected prominent people like Federal Finance Min-
ister Jim Flaherty, local mayors, or the president of General
Motors of Canada.
But 2007 was very different in tone and style from past
choices. It was, very clearly, the year of the soldier and the
focus these past 12 months was firmly on our men and women
in combat. Beginning in the late winter of 2006, Canadian
soldiers found themselves in a battle against the Taliban in
Afghanistan, part of a NATO-led contingent with a three-year
commitment.
A rotating crew of about 2,500 troops has been making the
long trek to the Kandahar region of Afghanistan and not with-
out plenty of heartbreak and bloodshed.
The mounting casualty toll from the Asian country led to a
spontaneous outpouring of support and respect from Canadi-
ans across the country.
And here in Durham Region, that desire to salute the troops
took on special significance with impressive and moving
bridge ceremonies throughout the spring, summer and fall.
With the news that a soldier had died in battle came the
quick realization that man or woman would then be repatri-
ated to Canada. The process involved ramp ceremonies in
Kandahar, the flight back to Canada through Canadian Forces
Base Trenton and then the motorcade down Hwy. 401 to
Toronto. That’s the way it has been since combat started, but
there was a significant change this year. People began to come
out to welcome the fallen back to Canada. They would mass at
Hwy. 401 overpasses to salute those who had died in combat.
In fact, so prominent were the so-called bridge ceremonies,
that a move to dub the Trenton to Toronto section of the 401
the Highway of Heroes was accepted and enacted by the Pre-
mier. While we wish there was no requirement for any bridge
ceremonies -- that would mean no loss of life in Afghanistan
for Canadian soldiers -- it was gratifying to see the spirit and
heart of ordinary Canadians on display again and again.
We can only hope it isn’t necessary to repeat the process as
often this year.

Caregivers do it for love
To the editor:
Re: March of Dimes Offers Suitable Gift Ideas, Dec. 16 News
Advertiser.
Reading through the many articles on gift-giving, I was
touched by MOD reminding people to buy gifts for caregivers
this season.
A couple days ago my mom fell and I needed to take her to
an emergency. We waited for six hours. This was one of the
many times I was with my mom, who has had Alzheimer’s
disease for the past seven years. It took a lot out of me physi-
cally and emotionally to take care of her. Every time my mom
suffers a stroke or a fall, I will be the main caregiver who has
to make decisions and shoulder all the responsibilities while
I still have my own family to look after.
I know there are many caregivers in my situation. They
have to deal with their loved ones with long-term illness.
Often it is a lonely affair. You can’t keep sharing a part of your
life that is your duty. We keep doing it out of love and devo-
tion to people who are dear to us. It is indeed a blessing and
a privilege to be able to care for our loved ones.
I just wanted to take this time to salute and encourage
these folks for their tireless work and perseverance.

The Prophet is a fabulous book of
26 poetic essays written by Leba-
nese artist, philosopher and writer
Khalil Gibran. In it, the prophet waits for
a ship to take him back to his birthplace.
When the ship comes he leaves his peers
with his wise reflections.
Well, I am no prophet and have, on
occasion, proven to been to be far from
wise.
Unlike Khalil Gibran I have nothing
to say of marriage or children, of crime
or punishment, but as I board my ship,
destined for a new role within Metroland
I can speak to you of community, some-
thing that Durham has in spades and
offers up indiscriminately.
My first day in Durham was a cold
and snowy one. My editor at the time
dropped me off at a bus stop in Oshawa,
but it might as well have been Siberia. He
told me to find my way back to Ajax via
the newly amalgamated Durham Region
Transit. From that baptism by fire, my
time in Durham has been an incredible
journey.
It was a little intimidating for this na-
tive New Brunswicker to come into a
Region with a population and budget that
rivals that of my entire home province.
But, when I started to familiarize my-
self with the communities of Durham
Region and the people who make them
up I quickly realized they are just that,
communities and the people in them
care about every inch of this Region just
as much as they do in small-town New
Brunswick.
I have covered a bevy of issues and
attended countless meetings during my
two-year tenure with Metroland Durham
Region Media Group and one thing I can
say with out faltering is that this area is
comprised of some very caring people.
Debate over the Lord’s Prayer in coun-
cil, to the green bin program and energy-
from-waste: writing about these things
was only made more satisfying by the
involvement and the response from the
community.
Each time someone chooses to take
the time to make a delegation at Regional
Council or pen a response to an article
they read, they are sowing the seeds of
a better community, and judging by the
experiences I had here in Durham, this is
destined to be one of the best communi-
ties around before too long.
Sense of community makes
Durham a great place

Anatomy of a backyard rink
By Chris Hall
chall@durhamregion.com
PORT PERRY -- Gliding across the large ice surface that
has replaced his front yard, Martin Stewart smiles as he
proudly points out the fruits of his labour.
Freshly shovelled, the Stewart family’s rink looked near-
ly perfect on a recent Friday morning, almost inviting even
with a red net set up at each end of the spacious pad, the top
of one of the cages loaded with gloves and a puck.
What started as a rinky-dink skating pad of sorts three years
ago, about 35- by 20-feet in dimension, has nearly doubled
in size this year, growing to about 70- by 35-feet and almost
filling the family’s front yard, at the intersection of Cochrane
and McDonald streets.
Undoubtedly busy at his day job at the Port
Perry hospital, it seems that Dr. Stewart’s
passion for creating and maintaining
his own personal rink nearly rivals his
desire to help others through his cho-
sen profession.
He talks excitedly about the pro-
cess, offering tips on how to begin and
when to start, explaining the ins and
outs of creating the perfect ice.
This year, he says, the process began in mid-
November, with the bone-chilling cold of winter on the near
horizon. It’s at this time, stresses Dr. Stewart, that the boards
have to go up, complete with stakes in place to keep the
planks from toppling over when the water freezes.
From there, a layer of topsoil is applied to the area bor-
dered by the boards to ensure a level skating surface. After
that job is complete, it’s time to lay out a large industrial-
strength tarp on which the water -- and later ice -- will rest.
And then, he waits.
“Once the boards are up, then we wait for winter to come,”
says Dr. Stewart. “It’s like a cult; you watch the weather all the
time, check the weather all the time, because you’re
waiting for the really cold weather to come.”
And when there’s no doubt the chilly weather i s
on its way, the time is right to apply the water.
And, in Dr. Stewart’s case, lots of it. This year,
near the end of November when the mercury
dropped to the -15 degree range, he dialled up
a local water hauler who delivered about 6,000
litres of the precious liquid. That delivery pro-
vides a base of about four- or five-inches, which is then left to
freeze.
And so the wait continues.
“The kids wait for it, I wait for it... every day I go out and
check it, waiting for it to freeze. After about two or three days
of the really cold weather, it should be ready,” says Dr. Stew-
art.
From there, providing Mother Nature is accommodat-
ing, the season officially begins at the Stewart home. A front
porch is loaded with hockey equipment, a light is mount-
ed on the house to provide illumination for night-time cir-
cuits around the frozen pad and a locker room of sorts
has been set up in the family’s front room, including four
chairs to sit on while lacing up the blades.
“You need a good tarp, solid boards and
good weather. And you to be patient,” offers
Dr. Stewart. “But timing is everything; you have
to look at the weather, you have to watch the
weather and be prepared because if you miss
that critical window to get the boards up, then
you’re backtracking all winter.
As for maintaining the rink itself, Dr. Stewart acknowledges
that, while he enjoys taking a spin around the pad himself
with his children and friends, it’s perhaps that personal time
in the evenings, when he floods the surface twice a week,
that might be his favourite moment of all.
“I love to go out at night to flood the ice, it’s so quiet when
you’re cleaning the ice down and it’s such a nice time out
there,” he says. “You’re just watching nature do its thing, the
water flowing and turning to ice and it smoothing out.”
The biggest factor of all, however, when it comes to being
able to fire pucks into the top shelf in your own backyard is of
course the weather.
While initial projections called for a colder-than-normal
winter across the country, the forecast for southern Ontario
has now been rejigged, promising instead fairly normal tem-
peratures for this time of year.
But, warns David Phillips, a senior climatologist with Envi-
ronment Canada, don’t be fooled by the term ‘normal’.
“We’re clearly showing (in southern Ontario) normal con-
ditions, but it’ll probably be a little more brutal then we’ve
had,” he said, noting that Ontarians in the Greater Toronto
Area got off lightly the last couple of years when it came to
winter. “Last winter was not too bad at all. It was truly excep-
tional, as the last two winters have been warmer then nor-
mal.”
This winter, while normal by traditional Canadian stan-
dards, “will seem a little bit more punishing,” says Mr. Phil-
lips, because December has already been colder then nor-
mal.
Accommodating weather or not, Dr. Stewart notes that it
is, really, all about fun and games for the kids. Four weeks
of winter or four months, it essentially boils down to sim-
ply seeing the smiles on the faces of his children and their
friends.
“The greatest satisfaction for me is seeing eight or nine
kids out there playing hockey or figure-skating. It’s a passion
for me and I look forward to it every year and the most fun
I derive out of it is seeing the hockey games out there,” he
says.
“It’s not just work, it’s fun to see the rink evolve on my front
yard. I take pride in what I build and I like to see people enjoy
it.”
The residents of Barton Farms in Uxbridge built a rink much like Dr. Stewart’s, construction continuing straight through the snowstorm earlier
this month. Stakes were driven to support the boards; the scale of the rink takes shape; and the surface is cleared before the first flood.

rink in Uxbridge. Read Neil Crone’s nostalgic column on his

Dare to Compare. It costs you nothing to do a quick online quote, but can cost you dearly if you don’t.
Most drivers, right now, are paying $100’s, even $1,000’s
of dollars more than necessary for their car insurance.
A number of drivers believe if they’re paying more, they’re
getting more. They’re not.
All insurance companies sell the exact same insurance
policy, word for word. It’s like buying a can of pop at the
variety store for $1 or paying $4 for it at a sports event.
Same pop, different price. Same insurance policy,
different price.
Look at this rate comparison published by the government
of Ontario. There are $1,000’s of dollars difference
between what insurance companies charge for the same
policy. Same policy, different prices.
The government posts these charts as warnings.
They are telling you that if you don’t shop and compare
you are in danger of grossly overpaying.
InsuranceHotline.com instantly compares
over 30 insurance company rates for your
car, home or life insurance and quotes you
the lowest rate.
If you’re already paying the best rate,
this service will confirm it for you.
So be happy. If you’re not, you’ve just
found yourself a bunch of free money.

Often occupants disable smoke
alarms because the alarm has
activated when they are cooking,
making toast or after using
the shower. These are called
nuisance alarms.
Solutions include relocating
the smoke alarm or installing
a smoke alarm with a “hush”
feature.
The Ontario Fire Code requires
that every home have a working
smoke alarm on every storey
and outside all sleeping areas.
It is against the law to disable a
smoke alarm.
For homeowners, tenants and
individual landlords, failure to
comply with the Fire Code
smoke alarm requirements can
result in a ticket for $235 or a
fi ne of up to $50,000.
Anyone who has questions
about nuisance alarms or other
fi re safety issues are welcome to
contact Pickering Fire Services
at 905.420.4628 or visit www.
makeitstop.ca.
MAKE IT STOP!
Smoke alarm driving you crazy?
If your smoke alarm goes off when you’re cooking, don’t remove the
battery! There are solutions to deal with the problem. Only working
smoke alarms save lives. Visit www.makeitstop.ca for suggestions,
or contact your local fi re department.

Take a Ride with the Professionals
at Lincoln Limousine & Taxi
Luxury at an affordable price.
That’s what you get from Lincoln Limousine and Taxi in Ajax.
“We have nothing but Lincoln Town Cars,” says Vice-President
& General Manger Nick Poroszlay. “So, for the same price as tak-
ing a beat up old taxi, you get a ride in a clean, relatively new Lin-
coln Town Car.”
Management has set very high standards for their fl eet of cars,
for both the drivers and the cars.
“We spend a fortune on upkeep,” he says. “With most other com-
panies, the driver’s own their cars. We own each and every one of
our cars, which lets us control the drivers and the cars. It makes a
huge difference in quality control.”
Lincoln Limousine and Taxi has won several Reader’s Choice
awards, for being the “fastest and cleanest” taxi service in Ajax,
according to Nick.
Lincoln Limousine and Taxi also serves all of Durham region
with its executive airport limousine service, and services local
hospitals and shopping centers within Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and
Pickering.

Former football star chats
with kids at Eastdale
By Shawn Cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA — Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons
has spent many years getting a message
across on the football field.
At 5-foot-6, a less than ideal height for a
professional football player, Clemons gave
credence to the old adage ‘it’s not the size of
the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight
in the dog.’
Clemons was always an underdog. Sure,
he was fast, but at the same time deemed by
many as too small to ever make a living play-
ing the sport he so dearly loves.
But ‘Pinball’ proved many wrong. Since
being cut from the Kansas City Chiefs of the
National Football League in the late 1980s,
Clemons went on to become one of the -- if
not the -- greatest players to ever suit up in
the Canadian Football League for the To-
ronto Argonauts.
Then he became head coach, then presi-
dent, and head coach again. Most recently
he was named chief executive officer of the
football club.
But while football has been prominent
in his life for many years, he was at Osha-
wa’s Eastdale Collegiate on Tuesday for a
different reason. He wasn’t there to gloat
about his seemingly endless list of football
achievements.
He was there to celebrate life and to raise
awareness to a group of Grade 8 and 9 stu-
dents from across Oshawa about what it
takes to become a real-life star.
“Great people aren’t about records, stats
or power,” he said.
“Great people are about doing what you
can for other people.
“We find people that are very wealthy that
aren’t very happy people and we find people
that don’t have much that are very happy
and that is because life is about relation-
ships.
“So if you truly want to be a star, the idea
is to help each other out and build into the
lives of others.”
Lending a hand was a point he tried count-
less times to drive home to those huddled in
the auditorium.
“Quality of life is really about giving back.
You make a living out of what you get, but
you make a life out of what you give,” he said
to the crowd during his speech. “People are
our communities’ best resource and if all
we do is take from our community then our
community becomes depleted.”
Clemons also brought along a guest Tues-
day in Argonauts defensive back Chuck Win-
ters.
Winters spoke for about 20 minutes, shar-
ing stories of the importance of travelling
down the right roads and establishing a
legacy one can be proud of when it’s all said
and done.
“When you look at someone’s tombstone,
you get a start date and end date,” he said.
“The little dash in the middle is what rep-
resents your legacy. What do you want that
legacy to say?”
SEATON COMMUNITY MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICING PLAN (MESP)
MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #2
CITY OF PICKERING
THURSDAY JANUARY 10TH , 2008
In May of 2006 the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) was approved by the Province of
Ontario under the Ontario Planning and Development Act. Seaton is the urban community identifi ed in
the CPDP. The policies within the CPDP establish the need for the preparation of a Master Environmental
Servicing Plan (MESP) prior to development occurring within the Seaton Community. North Pickering
Community Management Inc. is conducting the Seaton Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP)
with assistance from the City of Pickering and the Province of Ontario.
The Seaton MESP will address the following components needed for development to occur, as identifi ed
in the CPDP:
• Identify requirements for water source protection;
• Conduct a water balance on a subwatershed basis;
• Conduct an erosion sensitivity analysis for receiving watercourses;
• Promote maintenance and enhancement of the fi sheries;
• Prepare a stormwater management master plan;
• Confi rm municipal service requirements;
• Confi rm the major transportation system requirements;
• Identify the number and general location of major community facilities;
• Provide preliminary servicing cost estimates for infrastructure;
• Identify an interconnected network of pedestrian, bicycle and multi-use trails; and,
• Identify existing and proposed major utility requirements.
Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (MEA Class EA)
The MESP shall fulfi ll the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental
Assessment (MEA Class EA). At a minimum the MESP will address Phases 1 and 2 of the MEA Class EA
for all non-Regional road, water and wastewater projects.
Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects of the
following:
• Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment
• Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment
It should be noted that the Region of Durham will be conducting a Class Environmental Assessment
relating to the Regional Services and Roads necessary for the development of the Seaton Community.
Public Consultation
Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Three (3) Public Information
Centres have been planned, with the fi rst having taken place on June 27th, 2007. These Information
Centres will provide additional information and answer your questions regarding the project prior to
completion of the study and selection of a preferred solution.
You are invited to drop in to the second of three (3) Public Information Centres:
• Thursday January 10th - 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
• Council Chambers – City of Pickering Municipal Building
• One the Esplanade (Opposite Pickering Town Centre)
This Information Centre will provide a summary of the existing conditions within the study area with
respect to surface water and groundwater resources, and terrestrial and aquatic habitats. It will also
provide information pertaining to the proposed transportation system, stormwater management plan
and required community facilities within the Seaton Community.
Comments or Questions?

DURHAM — Garbage, growth and buses
will top the list of key issues in 2008, Dur-
ham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
predicts.
In 2008, Mr. Anderson doesn’t hesitate
in pin pointing the proposed energy-from-
waste facility as being the big issue. The
upcoming year will be full of milestones in
the joint study between Durham and York
regions to find a method of dealing with
garbage, currently trucked to Michigan.
Right out of the gate, on Jan. 9, a final
report on the consultants’ recommended
preferred site for a proposed energy-from-
waste facility will be forwarded to the Region
works committee and the York Region solid
waste committee for approval.
“I think if everything works out and it is
safe, the project will go forward,” Mr. Ander-
son said. “We have to have a solution for our
garbage, but our members of council will
want to prove it’s safe.” The issue of waste
management continues to bring out a slew
of public comment and delegations to Re-
gional council meetings and Mr. Anderson
said he expects that will continue.
“Council will take all of those into consid-
eration when they make their decision,” he
said.
Also on Mr. Anderson’s radar is the Re-
gion’s Growth Plan, which he says will have
major impacts and will require council’s at-
tention in 2008.
“We will have to make sure we
have the right mix (of residential
and industrial lands) to make sure
we have jobs for the future,” he
said.
Thirdly, MetroLinx (formerly the
Greater Toronto Transit Authority)
has come forward with a funding
request for about $80 million for
Durham. Mr. Anderson said he’s
optimistic the Province will ap-
prove the request and the Region
can get rolling on building a better
transit system.
“Durham worked hard on that request
with MetroLinx,” he said. “It will mean bet-
ter west mobility, new hybrid buses
and seven-and-a-half-minute
service on Hwy. 2.”
All this will translate to more
people choosing to take transit,
he said.
“It will help them come back to
the buses in bigger numbers than
they did last year,” Mr. Anderson
explained. However, Mr. Ander-
son is less optimistic about a few
projects in 2008, including the ex-
tension of Hwy. 407 east and the
building of the new courthouse in
Oshawa. He said his hope is to see the Prov-
ince get moving on both of these projects.

New Year’s
resolutions can
be tough to keep
By Jeff Hayward
jhayward@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Break-
ing down your new year’s
resolution into manageable
pieces is a pathway to ac-
complishing your goal, ac-
cording to local wellness
experts.
Rae Anne Jammer, a pro-
fessional wellness coach
with Pathways Health Pro-
motion based in Port Perry,
serves clients throughout
North America. She said
she sees common mistakes
in how people go about
achieving personal change.
She presented four main
points to aid in the process:
• Make sure the goal
you’re setting is specific. If
it’s weight loss you want,
specify how many pounds
you want to lose, in what
time frame and how you’re
going to do it.
• Write it down. Record
each step of the process.
Very rarely does a goal re-
quire only one step.
• Break down your goal
into small manageable tasks
so you can constantly gauge
your progress and see re-
sults quicker.
• Reward yourself for
completing tasks. For ex-
ample, give yourself a night
off from doing the dishes.
The rewards should be non-
monetary as possible.
“We don’t tend to reward
ourselves for our accom-
plishments,” she said.
Annabelle Murray, a cer-
tified nutritionist and well-
ness coach of CreateHealth,
based in Uxbridge, said of
resolutions, “People often
take on more than they can
handle with an all-or-noth-
ing attitude.” Ms. Murray
suggests identifying ob-
stacles ahead of time. “An
obstacle may be as simple
as acknowledging that you
tend to indulge in junk food
when you are tired. So it
might be a good idea to
throw out those cookies on
the top shelf and replace
them with healthier options
if you have resolved to drop
a few pounds.”
Goals should be SMART
-- Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Realistic and
Trackable, said Ms. Murray.
“If you resolve to integrate
exercise into your life, you
are more likely to be suc-
cessful if you identify ahead
of time the specific type of
exercise, when and for how
long you will do it, where,
and whether it is something
that you are capable of fol-
lowing through with.”
She agreed with Ms. Jam-
mer to reward yourself in
a healthy manner for com-
pleting tasks. “Do not give
up if you slip; start again
tomorrow. Take each day as
it comes,” she said.
Ms. Murray said common
new year’s resolutions in-
clude joining a gym, start-
ing a walking program,
keeping desserts and wine
to weekends only, or joining
a non-smoking program.
“Do it with someone else if
possible,” she said of taking
on a goal. “That way you are
accountable.”

Durham’s Shelby Cunliffe sticks her neck out
By Christy Chase
cchase@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Shelby Cunliffe lives in
Courtice but she doesn’t spend much time
at home.
The 13-year-old girl attends school, natu-
rally, and also takes dance, singing, sewing
and drama lessons. This fall, she starred in
the Borelians’ popular production of Alice
in Wonderland, sharing the lead role with
Marissa de Souza of Port Perry.
That doesn’t seem to leave much spare
time but Shelby doesn’t seem to mind.
“My social life is in the theatre,” said the
Grade 8 student who intends to work in the
theatre eventually.
Born in Scarborough, Shelby moved
here as a child with her parents, Heather
and Bill, and older brother A.J. It was in
Grade 4 that the drama bug bit.
“In Grade 4 we had to do current events
and speeches,” she said. “We also did skits.
I memorize things really easily. They al-
ways said for speeches I was too animat-
ed.”
So she decided to concentrate on drama
and went to drama school that summer.
She’s never looked back.
In Grade 6, she auditioned for and got
into the Oshawa Little Theatre Youth
Group, which starts working in October for
its June musical performance. That sum-
mer, she was the understudy for Anne in
Anne of Green Gables, appearing in four
performances.
“That was the first time I ever performed
in front of a big audience,” she said.
Last fall, she appeared in the chorus in
OLT’s production of Oliver. Last summer,
she was an orphan and dance captain
in the youth group’s production of Annie
Warbucks. And now, she’s just finished
Alice.
However, there’s OLT youth group again
where she’s a giraffe in Just So, based on
Rudyard Kipling’s work, and due on stage
in June.
Why the theatre?
“You meet so many different people who
are fun and great. You have so many great
experiences. Every time, it’s a new audi-
ence.”
She likes performing in front of people,
even though the nerves are still there.
She really enjoyed working with the
Borelians in Port Perry, commenting on
the relaxed, friendly atmosphere and the
respect for actors of all ages. She was on
stage for the entire show, apart from sec-
onds here and there when she managed
to duck behind scenery to get a drink of
water.
“It was fun because I got to see what ev-
eryone was doing and see all the scenes. I
got to interact with everybody,” she said.
Keeping focus was difficult to do, she
admitted.
“It was hard not to look at the audience
all of that time.”
She’s hoping to get into a performing
arts high school for next year so she can
continue her drama education.

THIS WEEK
The Panthers and Attack are both back on the ice this
week. Pickering host Durham Fury Jan. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
while Ajax travels to Markham on the same day.
durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers
went into the Christmas break on a low note
after a sweep at the hands of the Toronto
Junior Canadiens.
The Torontonians won 5-1 at the Pickering
Recreation Complex on Friday, Dec. 21 and
added an exclamation point by scorching
the Panthers 9-3 in Toronto on Sunday eve-
ning, Dec. 23.
The cellar-dwelling Panthers (9-24-1) are
now winless in their last five OHA Ontario
Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League con-
tests.
The Panthers have also fallen further be-
hind in the race for the sixth and final playoff
spot in the South Conference. The North
York Rangers, the current holder of sixth
spot, are now nine points up the Pickering
juniors after the weekend.
The newest member of the Canadiens,
Paul Chiasson -- acquired in a trade with the
Ajax Attack -- notched a hat trick on Sunday.
The Junior Canadiens led 2-1 after the first
period, and then buried the Panthers in the
second period with a five-goal onslaught for
a 7-3 lead. Toronto added two more in the
third.
Veteran Panther forward Greg Payne
scored two unassisted markers to lead the
Panthers Sunday; Chris Clark notched the
other goal.
On Friday, the second period was also the
Panthers’ undoing. After a 1-0 Toronto lead
after one, the Junior Canadiens scored three
consecutive goals to open up a 4-1 lead in
the second stanza. Toronto added another
marker in the third.
Payne scored the lone Pickering goal in
Friday’s contest.
The Panthers resume league play on Fri-
day, Jan. 4 when they host the Durham Fury
at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30
p.m.
Losing streak climbs
to 10 games
AJAX — Despite a valiant attempt
against the North York Rangers on Satur-
day, Dec. 22, the Ajax Attack still dropped
two straight recently.
The Attack fell to the Markham Waxers
7-2 at the Ajax Community Centre on Sun-
day afternoon, Dec. 23.
On Saturday in Toronto against the
North York Rangers, the Ajacians deserved
a better fate in a 2-1 loss that required a
shootout.
The upshot is the Attack are losers of 10
consecutive games in OHA Ontario Pro-
vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League play.
Saturday’s close loss to the Rangers is
significant as the Attack is currently chas-
ing North York for the sixth and final
playoff spot in the South Conference. Cur-
rently, the Rangers lead the eighth-place
Attack (9-23-3) by seven points in the
battle for the final post-season berth.
In Sunday’s loss, the Attack opened the
scoring in the first period with two goals
off the sticks of Kyle Ramsay and Adam
Place.
The Waxers, however, scored seven un-
answered goals to capture their fourth win
in a row.
Saturday in North York, it appeared
Rangers’ Connor Tresham’s first period
power-play marker would stand up as the
game winner.
That changed, however, when Ajax de-
fenceman Michael McInerney scored with
1:53 to go in the third period to tie up the
contest.
After the five-minute overtime frame
failed to produce a winner, the game pro-
ceeded to a shootout.
The Rangers beat Ajax starting goalten-
der Adam Stein three times in the shoot-
out, while Place was the Attack’s lone
scorer.
The Attack are off until the new year
when they travel to Markham for a game
with the Waxers on Friday, Jan. 4.
Their next home game is on Sunday,
Jan. 6 at the community centre against the
Durham Fury at 3 p.m.
