If approved by regional council, the budget would allow for the hiring of eight new cops and two civilian support staff. The document passed by the po- lice services board marks a $7.56- million increase over 2007’s bud- get of $124 million, a 6.1 per cent hike. Police Chief Mike Ewles has also identified a number of property and equipment upgrades that need to be addressed in the budget. The increase falls within guide- lines set out last fall by the region’s finance committee, which is pre- dicting a 4.4 per cent tax hike for Durham ratepayers this year. News Advertiser file photo Pickering native killed three years ago while on visit to British Columbia By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — When Sherrie Johnston talks about the final ver- dict in the case against five men accused in the beating death of her son three years ago, her spir- its brighten as she points out the watercolours, framed nudes and statues her son created in his short lifetime. “It’s really nice because his fin- gerprints are on here,” she says as she holds a tiny cat sculpture that fits perfectly into the palm of her hand, which he gave her the Christmas before he died. Brad Johnston, 24, a talented artist who grew up in Pickering, was killed in January 2005 when he was visiting family in British Co- lumbia with his father, stepmother and brother, Ian. Two of the accused, professional boxer Mark Woolbough and Dylan Ambrus, were found innocent, while Adam Ball, Donald Clarke and Paul Rosborough were each convicted of manslaughter and as- sault causing bodily harm on Dec. 14, and will be sentenced on April 7. Ms. Johnston was unable to at- tend the reading of the verdict, and could only make two trial dates due to the high cost and travel time. “They’ve been very difficult trips and expensive trips,” she says. “It’s been too horrific.” The incident occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 9, 2005 outside of the Rec Room nightclub Three guilty in beating death ✦ See Mom, Page 4 Sherrie Johnston holds a photograph of her son Brad shortly after he was killed three years ago while on a visit to British Columbia.

Brad Kelly Ron Pietroniro Beijing2008 Stephen Ross has 26 years experience fighting crime By Roland Cilliers rcilliers@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The new top cop in Ajax and Pickering doesn’t plan on just resting on his past successes. Inspector Stephen Ross became the unit commander of 19 division on Jan. 7 and he wants to make the area a safer place for its residents. “We’re going to focus on our strategic organizational priorities which are youth, roadway safety and violence against per- sons and property crimes.” says Insp. Ross. In particular, he intends to deal with the prevalence of street robberies in Ajax and Pickering. “There continues to be a real problem with street robbery involving our youth. A kid riding home on his bike gets stopped by a couple kids who say ‘give me your chain, give me your money, give me your Ipod’.” says Insp. Ross. He intends to reduce the number of rob- beries with some proven strategies which includes an increase in patrols in problem areas. Before staring his new position, Insp. Ross was a robbery detective and at one point he was responsible for co-ordinat- ing a street robbery project in Ajax and Pickering. “It resulted in numerous arrests, nu- merous charges and had an impact on the number of street level robberies we had occurring, but unless you continue that they tend to creep up again.” says Insp. Ross. The project has turned into a full- time strategy. Inspector Ross will also be involved in new region-wide programs against vio- lence and aggressive driving. A new unit called the Durham Region Anti Violence Strategy (DRAVIS) is funded by the pro- vincial government and will be used to deal with high-crime areas. A major concern for Ajax and Pickering has been crime committed by youth in public areas such as parks and on the wa- terfront. Last summer the police depart- ment experimented with a new program that Insp. Ross hopes to expand. “There was a bike patrol put out last year. It was highly successful and we hope to continue it this year. They go into the parks and look for youths loitering, drugs, alcohol that sort of thing.” says Insp. Ross. Police on the bike patrol target high-com- plaint areas and do not have to respond to the routine calls the police receive, except in emergency cases. Insp. Ross brings 26 years of experience as a police officer to his new position. He has received numerous internal recogni- tion and awards for his many achieve- ments. “I’m looking forward to working in the Ajax Pickering area over the next few years. I welcome any input that the public may have, any issues or concerns, that’s what we’re here for is to address them.” says Insp. Ross. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Inspector Steve Ross is the new unit commander of 19 Division serving Ajax and Pickering with the Durham Regional Police Service. New inspector wants to end street robberies Stories from a front-line cop Inspector Stephen Ross has been a police officer for 26 years and in that time he has had several remarkable encounters. In one such incident, in February 2006, Insp. Ross had to re- strain a man at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Police were called to locate a man who had left the hospital on foot after he was sent there by his family for treatment of a mental condition. A short while after being called the po- lice located the man. “When the officers approached him he drew from his knapsack an axe and threatened the officers with the axe.” says Insp. Ross. When attempts to have the man drop the weapon failed, the police deployed a K9 unit which, despite latching onto the man’s arm, was unable to subdue the suspect. Finally, Insp. Ross had to fire two sets of taser prongs at the man in order to restrain him. Along with other officers, Insp. Ross was honoured at the 2007 Police Appreciation Awards ceremony for handling this potentially deadly situation without a fatality. PICKERING — Two workers were physical- ly assaulted during a robbery at a Pickering pizza shop early Saturday, police said. Durham cops are looking for two suspects in the heist, which occurred around 12:30 a.m. Saturday at a Pizza Pizza outlet on Kingston Road. Police said two men with their faces covered punched and kicked the male employee, emptying his pockets and removing money from a cash register. An unwitting delivery driver was assault- ed when he walked in and interrupted the robbery, police said; at that point the first victim escaped the store and ran to a nearby restaurant to call police. Police are seeking two men, described as about 5-feet-8 with medium builds, who wore black-hooded jackets, ball caps and gloves. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 5355 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Two workers assaulted during Pickering robbery at pizza store Ontario Municipal Board sides with Town to refuse plan By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — The Ontario Municipal Board has sided with the Town in rejecting a proposed truck refuel- ling station near the Hwy. 401 and Salem Road inter- change. Petro-Canada wanted to put the refuelling station on Achilles Road, next to the BMW dealership now under construction, on six acres. In a decision released earlier this month, board member Norman Jackson ruled the request by Petro- Canada didn’t represent good planning. Mr. Jackson did rule a truck refuelling station could be approved some- where else in the Town, provided the request met certain criteria, such as an appropriate design and cre- ating enough jobs. Among the reasons Ajax opposed the station was it wouldn’t create enough jobs. The Town’s official plan calls for 16 employees per acre and the Petro-Canada application would have cre- ated fewer than five. In his decision, Mr. Jackson noted witnesses for Petro-Canada “somewhat quietly admit- ted there is virtually no employment in the Petro proposal; perhaps three or four employees on a six- acre site. The Town’s stan- dard of 16 employees per acre (total 98) is virtually ignored.” “This decision is a huge victory for the residents of Ajax and has set a prec- edent for future develop- ment in the area,” Mayor Steve Parish says. “It’s im- portant that we maximize employment opportunities when we can.” One of the arguments made by the Town was the interchange, which cost the Town, Region and Province about $50 million to build, was constructed to open up lands for employment. Busi- nesses that have opened or are under construction near the interchange are the BMW dealership, the Loblaws distribution cen- tre, the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel and the adjacent con- vention centre. There is only one OMB appeal left concerning the interchange lands. Runny- mede Developments is ap- pealing the Town’s refusal to allow ‘big-box stores’ at the southeast corner of Salem and Chambers Drive. A pre-hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 17, with a full hearing likely to be held sometime later this year.

NEWS ADVERTISER in Parksville, B.C. Ms. Johnston explains her sons did “just exactly what they would have done in To- ronto,” and went for some pool and beer at the local bar. But, on their way out, the men approached the two brothers, separated them and assaulted them individually. Brad managed to make his way back to the hotel, but was later brought to hospital and died on Jan. 10. “I know they didn’t mean to kill Bradley, but he was 140 pounds soaking wet,” Ms. Johnston says. Although she says the end to the three-year saga offers some closure, she now needs to make a new adjustment since she won’t be busying herself with the trial once the three men are sentenced. “I’ve come to terms that Brad’s in another place and I have to let it go for my own survival,” she says. But Ms. Johnston says if any one of the men on trial has learned not to throw a punch at a bar, at least something has been accom- plished. “He’s not the only one,” she says. “There are so many people getting hurt in this way. It’s just criminal. It’s got to stop.” Now, Ms. Johnston focuses on all the good memories of her son, from bringing bugs, rabbits and lizards into the home “like they were treasures” to her cleaning Ketchup off some of her favourite art pieces he’d tossed in the gar- bage and shrugged off as simple class projects. “He was a good boy, a very gentle child,” she says.

Entrepreneurs group starts up By Josie Newman jnewman@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When the Durham Region Student Entrepreneur’s Association kicks off tomorrow night, the two-hour event will bring together students, members of the local business com- munity, and politicians to learn how to start success- ful businesses in Durham Region. Mentored by the Business Advisory Centre of Durham (BACD) and Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a na- tional association which en- courages students starting small businesses, University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology accounting student Chris DeSouza began toy- ing with the idea of start- ing Durham Region Student Entrepreneur’s Association (DRSEA) last September. “A few of my classmates and myself started it as part of our capstone course, something that all fourth- year students have to take that brings together the major aspects of what they’re studying. The idea came from the technol- ogy transfer department of UOIT when we heard they helped two students here get patents for their inven- tions,” said Mr. DeSouza, co-president of DRSEA. Sponsors include Via Rail, Mandarin Restaurant, New Media Canada, which is the web service provider for DRSEA, and Isabella’s Chocolate Cafe in Oshawa. The guest list for tomorrow night includes 40 students who have applied for mem- bership and are interested in or have already started businesses, several faculty, and some local politicians. Speakers include Teresa Hall, winner of a $30,000 award for her business start- up idea from Dragon’s Den, a CBC show, James Doyle, eastern Canada program director for SIFE, and Carol Ann Wallace from BACD, who will talk about summer company grants. The $3,000 grants from BACD are available for busi- ness start-ups to students from 18 to 29 years old who are returning to school. Mr. DeSouza said DRSEA even- tually wants to be a small business advisory centre for Durham Region. Mr. DeSouza will give de- tails at the meeting about What are you Doing?, a competition with three cash prizes for the best idea for next year’s DRSEA event. When the association is fully established, it will in- clude Youth Entrepreneur Forum, an on-line dialogue between students, experts and faculty. The event begins at 5 p.m. in Room G213 at UOIT with the three speakers and is followed by refreshments and conversation. JOIN US FOR COMPLIMENTARY LIVE ENTERTAINMENT EVERY THURSDAY EVENING!

The City has passed a draft bylaw and residents can view it on the Pickering website at www.cityofpickering.com. As well, consultation on the proposal to ban pesticides begins tonight, Jan. 16, with a meeting intended for lawn care service providers, product retailers, golf courses and garden centres from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex’s O’Brien Meeting Room A and B (1687 Valley Farm Rd.). A snow date is set for Thursday, Jan. 17 at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre (470 Kingston Rd. W.). The general public has its opportunity to be heard on Thursday, Jan. 24 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., also at the O’Brien Meeting Room. A snow date is also set for the Petticoat Creek Community Cen- tre on Tuesday, Jan. 29. The draft bylaw is aimed at the cosmet- ic use of pesticides, namely at homeown- ers who use or hire others to use chemi- cals to control dandelions, crab grass and the like to maintain a green lawn. Others are rightly exempted from the bylaw, chiefly and most importantly the agricultural community, for whom chemical use is a matter of necessity and of ensuring their livelihood. The draft bylaw also contains a number of other exemptions, including chemi- cals used to destroy noxious weeds and invasive species on conservation lands. And, for those who use bug dope when out for a hike in the Rouge River valley, for example, you’re exempt too. In short, there are a number of exemp- tions. As with any bylaw, the major com- ponent is enforcement. It’s pointless to spend time forming, debating and enact- ing a bylaw that can’t be enforced. Council needs to listen to all of the voices at the upcoming meetings and, above all else, be reasonable. Hopefully, the meetings will also offer alternatives to using pesticides. If you feel strongly one way or another about the issue, be sure to attend a meet- ing. If you can’t get out, complete an online survey at the City’s website.

Of course most of it should be a priority as far as he is concerned as our new repre- sentative. However it has been my experi- ence that talk is cheap and real action costs money. He must use his experience gained at the local level to push for other changes that the voters of this area have demanded. I look to him to work with other interested parties to remind the legislature that the people of Ajax voted to elect the regional chair and sometime this century would be nice! Updated information about our area is also useful, but please Mr. Dickson, twice a year is fine, and no glossy magazines with photographs - just the facts will suffice. I would also question the so-called Fam- ily Day (or, as it should be called, “buy-a- vote day”). Why on earth the Liberals did not simply declare Nov. 11 as a provincial holiday beats me. Surely this would per- petuate the memories of our war dead. Schools and the general public (not just a few bank clerks, town hall staff, and other government employees who already take this day) can participate in remembering. Perhaps a public ceremony arranged by the town should be held at the Ajax Memo- rial Gardens? Finally, we need some sort of law that if there are bills waiting to be read then this all must be cleared before Mr. McGuinty decides it is time to shut up shop for a while. John Haste Ajax Finance minister should focus on auto sector To the editor: How nice it is for Whitby-Oshawa MP and Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to support our manufacturing and auto industry during these difficult times. Now, for the first time in 25 years in the workforce, I start the year out of work. I guess I can join the 600 workers from the closed Hershey plant in Smith Falls, Ont., and the other 600 workers from another recently announced Hershey plant closing in Nova Scotia, plus thousands more. I also need to thank Mr. Flaherty for his concern over auto emissions in regards to his rebate program. Unfortunately this does nothing to support jobs in Canada and enforces his belief in foreign made cars. Besides buying votes and trying to make him look good, it does zilch for our economy. It would have been better to offer incentives to companies to develop tech- nology and manufacturing here. One last thing. Thanks Mr. Flaherty for the overwhelming leadership role that your government showed at the Bali Conference. It shows Canada once again that the Con- servatives cannot make a commitment to an important environmental issue, unless it caters to and benefits the United States and the Alberta oil industry. I hope Mr. Flaherty’s New Year’s resolu- tion was to start concerning himself with all of Canada’s workforce and global warming. By the way, thanks for the penny savings with the GST. It sure helps tremendously with the environment and the manufactur- ing industry -- not! Brent Roberts Whitby Get out and see John Tavares while you can To the editor: Canada and hockey go together like pan- cakes and maple syrup. One of Canada’s major world imports is hockey superstars. Durham fans are lucky in that they are home to one of the brightest young stars in the game today: John Tavares. By now most of the region has heard of him at least once. His stats speak for them- selves: he’s scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky had at the same age. Players like him come by once in a life- time, which is why even casual hockey fans need to take this opportunity to see Tavares play in an Oshawa Generals’ uniform at least once. He’s draft eligible in 2009 and there’s even been talk of getting him on an NHL farm team before that. While nothing is guaran- teed in sports, all indications are that those who see Tavares play now will one day tell their grandkids, ‘I saw him way back when’.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ January 16, 2008P By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com The stories are enough to leave you shaking your head in disbelief. A man busted when he choos- es to drive from a bar in which he’s been drinking for several hours to his home a few hundred metres away. A woman who shows up at a police command post, drunk and at the wheel, to retrieve a friend who’s been arrested for impaired driving -- shortly after taking a roadside screening test that shows she’s had too much to drink. The guy who responds to a 12-hour suspen- sion for blowing a “warning” on a roadside breath device by begging a cop to let him have a buddy come and pick up his car, rather than hav- ing it towed -- and arguing that the last time he got a similar suspension, police had allowed it. It is now 2008. The war against drinking and driving has been waged with vigour by police, governments and community groups for decades. So why are the number of drinking and driv- ing arrests made by Durham police during the annual Festive RIDE campaign up again this year? During the seven-week effort a team of eight officers logged 2,400 staff hours on Durham’s roads, checking just under 13,000 vehicles and busting 113 motorists for drinking and driving offences -- 101 such charges were laid last year. They demanded 893 roadside breath tests and suspended the driving privileges of 172 people found to have been drinking enough to register a “warning” on blood-alcohol screening devices. In addition, 48 G1 and G2 licence holders were charged for breaching the zero alcohol stipula- tion of their permits. Durham officers stopped far fewer vehicles than York Region police, who reported 29 drunk driving charges in more than 51,000 stops, and Toronto cops, who stopped more than 101,000 vehicles and laid 68 drunk driving charges. “I’m concerned the message isn’t being received,” said Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles in an interview this week. “But I am absolutely committed to staying the course.” That commitment includes year-round RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) stops, during which officers will stop motorists to check for signs of impairment. It’s reasonable to conclude that enforcement methods accounted for the remarkable number of charges laid by Durham cops working the Fes- tive RIDE beat; under the command of Detec- tive Constable Dave Ashfield the team took an aggressive approach by actively hunting down drivers who may have been trying to escape the RIDE net. Det.-Const. Ashfield would have the team set up a RIDE line at one or two locations at the beginning of the evening. But when the early morning hours approached his officers would dismantle the checkpoint -- with its glaring lights, flashlight-waving cops and imposing mobile command vehicle -- and take to their cruisers to patrol the back streets and side roads to look for drunk drivers trying the evade them. Det.-Const. Ashfield’s reasoning, stated in an interview at a RIDE checkpoint in December, was simple: If drunks were taking steps to elude the cops, it only made sense for the cops to go looking for them. “We know that people are trying to avoid us; we know that people are driving on the back roads and we know that people aren’t getting the message, so we work extra hard to get to those people,” he said. The strategy paid off big time: Det.-Const. Ash- field’s RIDE team averaged four drunk-driving busts per shift. Chief Ewles attributes those numbers to aggres- sive enforcement rather than a higher than aver- age tendency among Durham residents to drive while impaired. “It shouldn’t be viewed as an indication Dur- ham drivers are more likely to drink and drive,” he said. “It’s an indication that if you do choose to drink and drive in Durham your chances of getting caught are greater.” With the ongoing incidence of drunk driving - - despite years of public campaigns and appeals, publicity surrounding drunk-driving convictions and annual warnings from Durham police they’ll be out to catch impaired motorists -- a cynic might conclude the offence is going to occur no matter what. Chief Ewles refuses to take such a view. “I’ll never accept the notion that it’s inevitable,” he said. “It’s incumbent on us to do everything in our power to convince people not to take that risk.” Results of a poll recently conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) indi- cate that while the majority of Canadians see impaired driving as a source of concern, more of us appear to be doing it. “Progress in reducing the problem of drink- ing and driving appears to have halted,” was the blunt conclusion of the poll analysis, released just before Christmas. The survey found that although 87 per cent of Canadians indicated they’re concerned about drunk driving, an esti- mated 1.84 million of us reported doing so in the past 12 months; that’s 8.2 per cent of the driv- ers polled, up from 5.6 per cent in a similar survey conducted in 2004. “We’re no lon- ger seeing a pattern of declines in drinking and driving behaviour,” Ward Vanlaar, a research scientist with the TIRF, said. The poll also indicated a majority of us are in favour of getting tough with drunk drivers, with Canadians supporting measures such as ignition interlock devices that ensure convict- ed offenders are alcohol-free before they drive; enhanced rights of police to demand roadside sobriety tests, more spot checks such as RIDE and immediate impoundment of the vehicles of those found driving drunk. Just 18 per cent of those polled support a low- ering of the legal blood-alcohol limit, as has been suggested by organizations such as Moth- ers Against Drunk Driving. Mr. Vanlaar said that since most drinking and driving offences are committed by repeat offend- ers, it is that group that needs to be immediately targeted both through penalties and substance- abuse treatment. “The majority of drinking drivers are repeat drunk drivers who have an alcohol issue,” he said. “You cannot reach that group through advertising...We have to find a good balance between punishment and treatment.” DRUNK DRIVING: WHAT’S NEXT? DURHAM POLICE VOW TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT AS IMPAIRED NUMBERS RISE OPP Commis- sioner Julian Fantino expressed his views in an open letter to the citizens of Ontario, saying we’ve taken too soft an approach to drunk driving for too long and it’s time to drop the hammer, with immediate and stringent con- sequences for those charged and a tougher approach by the courts. “Canadian society has developed a tolerance for this particular crime and does not acknowledge its true consequences,” the commissioner wrote. “Where is the hue and cry?” he asked. “Drunk driving is the lead- ing cause of criminal death in Canada -- not guns or other weapons but rather the use of motor (vehicles) to kill people.” Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles looks at the consequences awaiting a drunk driving bust and convic- tion, including impoundment of vehicles, licence suspensions, legal costs, work interruptions, increased insurance rates and, yes, the stigma that comes with a drunk-driving bust -- he’s esti- mated it would cost the aver- age person about $13,000 to sort out the mess -- and sees a major disincentive. But still, otherwise reasonable people who are aware of those conse- quences will take the risk. Maybe they think they won’t get caught; perhaps they conclude that they’re not impaired. Could be they don’t think drinking and driving is that big a deal, after all. “Maybe what we need to do is change the message so it’s not focused solely on the drivers... the community has to be outraged,” the chief mused. “Maybe we need to take a look at how dependent people are on their vehicles and rein- force the message that there are alternatives (to drinking and driving).” But the chief noted that engineering societal attitudes is one challenge; enforcing the law is another. Chief Ewles said his service will continue to send the message and back it up: “If you’re going to consume alcohol, you shouldn’t even think about driving. Period,” he said. “It’s simply not worth the risk.” Mike Ewles Julian Fantino ‘ It shouldn’t be viewed as an indication Durham drivers are more likely to drink and drive. It’s an indication that if you do choose to drink and drive in Durham your chances of getting caught are greater.’ -- Chief Mike Ewles Watch Jeff Mitchell’s video story on the RIDE program at newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com Durham Regional Police Service 2007 Vehicles stopped 12,965 Drinking & Driving charges 113 2006 Vehicles stopped 23,655 Drinking & Driving charges 101 Toronto Police Service 2007 Vehicles stopped 94,010 Drinking & Driving charges 69 2006 Vehicles stopped 101,277 Drinking & Driving charges 68 York Regional Police 2007 Vehicles stopped 51,545 Drinking & Driving charges 29 2006 Vehicles stopped 45,455 Drinking & Driving charges 30 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 16, 2008 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com Over 80 Exhibitors! 19th Annual Oshawa Whitby Clarington This Week Sunday, January 20th, 2008. 10 am - 5 pm.

She is a founding member of the PineRidge Arts Council. Phyllis has attended many workshops and studied under the direction of quite a few distinguished artists including Doug Purdon in Oils (who also teaches oil painting at Ontario College of Art and Design). In 2004, Phyllis went to the South of France with a group of artists and painted every day in the Pyrenees Mountains. The following year, she travelled to Italy taking photos to paint upon returning home. Last year, it was off to Prince Edward Island for two weeks painting light houses and the red cliffs by the sea. When Phyllis is not travelling, she enjoys painting locally, down at Hydro Park, and at the lagoon at the foot of Liverpool Road. You are invited to the Pickering Civic Complex during viewing times to see the inspirational work of Phyllis Desjardins. Her works are for sale so be sure to stop by and pick up some original art work. The Experience Art program is coordinated by the City of Pickering and is one of many ways we recognize and support local artists and bring Arts & Culture to the community.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 16, 2008 PAGE 9 Pdurhamregion.com Councillor doesn’t want Ajax to ‘lead the way’ By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — Any decision on a final site for the proposed incinerator should be delayed until a great deal more information is available, says Clarington council. Clarington’s four local councillors voted in favour of a motion asking the re- gions of Durham and York to delay their decision on accepting the recommend- ed location -- near Courtice Road and Hwy. 401 -- until they have decided what technology will be used and have completed a number of other studies, includ- ing the site-specific human health and ecological risk assessments. “We’re certainly not trail- blazing here,” said Ward 1 councillor Adrian Foster, who introduced the motion, noting Oshawa’s Strategic Initiatives Committee, the Region’s Health and Social Services committee and Ajax council have all passed similar motions. “Why should we wait for Ajax council or Oshawa council to lead the way?” asked Ward 3 Councillor Willie Woo. “We should be leading the way.” Clarington’s three re- gional councillors -- Mayor Jim Abernethy and council- lors Charlie Trim and Mary Novak -- voted against the motion. “This is a very important issue and I don’t believe that was the way to go,” said the mayor, noting he feels there are only three options to deal with the Region’s waste when Michigan’s bor- der closes to our trash in 2010: incineration, landfill or adopting a Zero Waste strategy, something he feels can’t be successfully imple- mented. Even in places like Can- berra, Australia, where a Zero Waste-type strategy was adopted more than a decade ago, it is only con- sidered an “aspirational goal,” he said. “It’s recognized that there will always be come residu- al waste,” said the mayor. But implementing a Zero Waste strategy doesn’t mean immediately moving to a society producing no garbage, council was told. “The idea of a sustain- able landfill along with a research facility is a very vi- able interim step toward a Zero Waste strategy,” said Wayne Ellis, an Oshawa res- ident who appeared before council Monday. Consultants hired by the regions of Durham and York recommended last Septem- ber that the Durham-owned lands near Hwy. 401 and Courtice Road as the best site for the proposed facil- ity. Though 50-50 partners in the Environmental As- sessment process, York has reduced its commitment to both construction and waste to be provided to the facility to about 12 per cent. If the site is accepted, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Environment as part of the environmen- tal assessment currently underway. The Province makes the final decision on whether the project may proceed. The Courtice site was chosen based on a “flawed” report, some have said. “With thermal treatment as the waste treatment al- ternative with the greatest impact on the air shed, with the Clarington air shed al- ready overburdened and with the public identifying health and air quality issues as the No. 1 priority to be considered, the only way (the Courtice site) could have been identified as a preferred site was through a flawed report,” said Wendy Bracken, a Newcastle resi- dent, to council. “You can- not stand for this.” Durham Regional Coun- cil is to vote on the pre- ferred site recommendation January 23. York Region will also vote on the matter.

In a mock election for the two Grade 5 classes at Altona Forest Public School Friday, Rachel won the seat of prime minister by a slim margin for her stand against pov- erty, homelessness and hunger. Her rival, Cole Rex-Littley, pitched his platform on the preservation of nature, while candidate Omer Baloch stood strong on the issues of road infrastructure safety and construction. A visit from Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland to the students sparked the mock election. Mr. Holland, a father of three young children, asked the students the difference between the Senate and the House of Commons. One boy suggested the House of Commons spends a lot of time discussing bills. When asked what the three es- sentials are to becoming a politi- cian, the children’s answers varied from needing a university degree to winning a scholarship. Mr. Holland replied it takes just three ingredients -- Canadian citi- zenship, no current criminal re- cord, and to have reached the age of 18. Questions varied from ‘Do you go around the world?’, ‘Why don’t we have a president?’, to ‘How often do you see the prime minis- ter?’ The hour-long visit wrapped up with a unanimous show of hands in response to Mr Holland’s ques- tion of how many children will vote when they turn 18. Teacher Nicole Petrou said her class has been studying the practi- cal functions of Canadian govern- ment all year. The school’s Grade 5 to 8 stu- dents participated in Student Vote, a process whereby students had in-school elections for local politi- cians prior to last fall’s provincial election. restartdurham.ca FOR INTERNATIONALLY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa •REFINE your English language skills • RECONNECT with your profession •REGAIN your confi dence Assistance with childcare and transp o r t a t i o n is available for eligib l e students!

Cops taking part in Operation In The Zone laid more than 1,800 charges during the week-long initiative Jan. 7 to 11, mostly for speeding and other ag- gressive driving in and around school zones. Speeding made up the majority of the charges, with 1,440 infractions. Meanwhile, 28 tickets were written for speeding in community safety zones; 54 for stop sign offences, and 346 for other Highway Traffic Act infractions. Six drivers were also arrested on Criminal Code charges and four others were busted on drug charges, police said. And police charged three driv- ers under new street racing legisla- tion when they were caught exceeding posted speed limits by 50 km or more; the charge results in immediate licence suspension and seizure of the driver’s vehicle for seven days. Some highlights from the blitz: • One driver who was ticketed for driving 112 km per hour in a 60 km zone was found to be driving while under suspension. Later the same day he was stopped again -- by the same officer who’d pinched him earlier -- and charged with driving while under suspension; his car was impounded. • A man caught speeding in Whitby had just left the local Provincial Of- fences office, where he’d paid a fine for speeding in a school zone. • Police who stopped a 17-year-old driver clocked at 90 km-h in a 40 km zone noticed a video camera on the vehicle dashboard; the teen advised an officer he’d been using it to make videos he posted on the Internet. • And an Oshawa man stopped dur- ing the blitz was arrested for driving while under suspension for a Criminal Code offence, as well as the Highway Traffic Act. He was arrested and held for a bail hearing. Similar traffic safety efforts will con- tinue throughout the year, police said. Speeders, suspended drivers caught up in traffic safety blitz Covering the Ajax news scene kgilligan@durhamregion.comREPORTER KEITH GILLIGAN Two accused of plotting to kill rival By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Numerous supporters looked on as two high-ranking Hells Angels officers accused of plotting to kill an underworld rival made a brief appearance in court Thursday. The show of support for Mark Stephenson, presi- dent of the Oshawa chap- ter, and Remond Akleh, a former Oshawa boss and a member of the elite No- mads wing of the gang, has been a common sight since the two were arrested in the fall of 2006 on charges of conspiracy to commit mur- der. A number of people including Mr. Akleh’s rela- tives, Mr. Stephenson’s par- ents and fellow bikers have consistently flowed into courtrooms, following each and every moment of their bail hearings, preliminary proceedings and now, pre- trial appearances before Su- perior Court Justice Edwin Minden. They waited a couple of hours Thursday morning for what turned out to be just a few minutes of court time; prior to that, lawyers Glen Orr and Brian Grys met privately with Crown counsel Mitchell Flagg to discuss issues that must be resolved before any trial can begin. Mr. Stephenson, of Sun- derland, and Mr. Akleh, who lives near Cobourg, were among more than two dozen bikers and associ- ates swept up in Operation Tandem, a multi-force po- lice strike launched against the Angels and other gangs in September 2006. While most of those busted were charged with drug-related crimes, the two powerful bikers were charged with conspiracy to commit mur- der. Mr. Akleh is free on bail while Mr. Stephenson re- mains in custody.

Artists wanted DURHAM — The City of Pickering invites local artists to show their work at this year’s Artfest on the Esplanade. The annual event features dance, live music, paintings, and pho- tography from across the province. More than 80 of Durham Region’s finest visual artists will display and sell their work. Artists interested in taking part are invited to pick up their registra- tion package at www.cityofpickering. com or call 905-420-4620. Artistic organizations wanting to promote their group can apply for exhibit space. The registration deadline for artists and promoters is Monday, April 14. The event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 24 at Esplanade Park behind the Pickering Library. AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Jeremy ‘Boomer’ Stacey and Erin Michel prepare for the first exhibit at the Durham West Arts Centre’s new location at 364 Kingston Rd. (at Rougemount Drive) in Pickering, a showing of photographs by Pickering photographer Mi- chael Semak. Stacey is the DWAC’s executive director and Michel the project manager. The public is invited to the DWAC’s grand opening on Jan. 19 at 2 p.m., followed by the exhibit opening at 3 p.m. Arts centre opens in Pickering By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Durham West Arts Centre is taking another step on its path towards a perma- nent performing and visual arts centre for Durham. On Jan. 19, DWAC will officially open its new offices and exhibit space, giving the organization a tangible presence in the commu- nity again. And the first exhibit in the new space, 364 Kingston Rd., at Rougemount Drive, will also be opened. The exhibit features new co- lour photography by internation- ally renowned photographer and Pickering resident Michael Semak. “For us, it really is a relaunch- ing of everything we’re doing,” said DWAC artistic director Jeremy Sta- cey, who came on board in Novem- ber. “It’s a step towards the future.” DWAC has been without a physi- cal location since closing its pre- vious space in Pickering Village. Now, there’s room for office space and professional exhibit space, he said. Local residents can drop in and see featured art works by local and international artists and to find out what DWAC is doing to make its dreams a reality. The DWAC Foundation is rais- ing funds to build a permanent, professional arts centre, for both performing and visual arts, for Dur- ham. In the meantime, DWAC will be mounting a number of art ex- hibits each year, with an emphasis on contemporary art, Stacey said. The exhibit of Semak’s art is the first of those shows. “This is the first time he’s exhib- iting in Pickering,” said Stacey of the artist, known for his black-and- white photography throughout the world. Semak has turned to colour digi- tal photography (taken in Durham) in this new exhibit. He’ll be on hand for the opening. “It kind of ties right in with what we are trying to promote,” Stacey said. “We’re trying to bring inter- national art to Durham and at the same time, we’d like to highlight local art in Durham. It’s also a home base for us to promote events in the community.” Stacey added DWAC wants local residents to see what today’s artists are doing today, hence the empha- sis on contemporary art. Saturday’s events, designed to be informal, will begin at 2 p.m. with the opening of the office space, fol- lowed at 3 p.m. by the exhibit open- ing. There will be some speeches by various dignitaries and a recep- tion involved too. Exhibit hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and by ap- pointment. DWAC can be reached at 905-492-2533.

Clarke Richardson students go back to 1954 My Favorite Year begins its run at the school tonight By Jessica Topham Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate’s favourite year is here. The school’s musical theatre class is performing ‘My Favorite Year’, a musical/comedy about Benjy Stone remembering his fa- vourite year, 1954, when he was a junior writer on the King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade. Benjy is assigned to keep his hard-drinking idol, Alan Swann, sober for his appearance on the show. Benjy does this while learning life lessons and falling in love. “I knew the music from the show,” says vocal director and teacher Jennifer Cresswell. “I knew the kids would have fun with it.” This is J. Clarke’s fifth play since it opened about five years ago and the students and teach- ers have been preparing since September. “Theatre is something you can lose your personality to become someone else,” says choreogra- pher and student Premika Leo. The play runs from Jan. 16 to 19 at 7 p.m. in the school’s the- atre. Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door. J. Clarke is at 1355 Harwood Ave. N. (at Rossland Road).

By winning the PDC World Cham- pionship darts title in England on New Year’s Day, the 41-year-old Os- hawa resident joins an elite group to have claimed a world title more than twice. It’s now three times for Part, to be exact, as he also won the BDO title in 1994 and the PDC crown in 2003. He joins 13-time champion Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow (five titles) and John Lowe (three) as the only other players to have accomplished the feat. Part defeated English qualifier Kirk Shepherd 7-2 in the final to claim the $198,700 top prize. Shepherd was a 500-1 longshot at the start of the tournament. “It was different because as it turned out I was the favourite in the final because I was playing a young guy, 21 years old, a Cinderella story kind of kid,” says Part, who returned to Oshawa last Wednesday. “The shoe was on the other foot. I was the underdog in both previous finals. (This time) I was the big, bad wolf.” Shepherd was very much the crowd favourite in his home country, where the sport is popular and en- thusiastically supported. According to telegraph.co.uk, “Shepherd en- tered the Alexandra Palace on New Year’s Day to the deafening sound of music by T-Rex and delirious hero- worship from 2,500 noisy fans.” But in the final, he was no match for the veteran Part, who jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. “He didn’t really get off to a great start, but he took some chances here and there, tried to fight back in, but in the end I was just too consistent,” Part reports. Part says he was challenged early in the tour- nament by opponents from South Africa and Ger- many, coun- tries not known for their prowess in the sport. That was something that served him well in the end. “They were both un- expectedly good and pushed me hard, put me under some pres- sure and I think I responded well to that, which got me more ready for the later rounds,” he says. “My confidence was up.” Part, who goes by the nickname Darth Maple, travels extensively to make a living in the sport, but still gets out oc- casionally to a local pub for league play.

Beth Hurren, 26, who plays for the Richmond Hill Lightning, was named as the sec- ond star of the month. The Pickering native posted 10 goals and two assists, including two hat tricks, in her team’s five De- cember games. In the Lightning’s first four games of 2008 she has also scored an impressive nine goals and four as- sists, which shows she has no inten- tions of slowing down any time soon. The Lightning are currently ranked eighth in the ‘Elite Eight’ rank- ings of NRL teams. Hurren has played numerous times for Canada in international ringette over the years. The 17-team National Ringette League (NRL) is the showcase league for ringette in Canada. [ Basketball ] Michael’s Eatery dines out on NAP AJAX — Michael’s Eatery fed North Alliance Press its lunch in an easy 54-35 victory as the Ajax Men’s Basketball Association resumed play on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Bill Manos led Michael’s with a game-high 17 points. John Sneyd chipped in with 14. Raymond Hartley was the lone bright spot for NAP, knocking down 11 points. Top Shelf started the new year on the right foot, handing ESN Packag- ing their first league loss 53-41. A solid team effort lead by David Jackson with 12 points and Roger Young with 10 was the deciding factor in the Top Shelf victory. Tom Rowen led ESN with 14 points. Sherwin James finished with nine. Philips, Hager and North also started the year with a notch in the win column by defeating Dickson Printing 48-33 in the final game of the evening. Clayton Gall had the hot hand for PH and N with 16 points, followed by John Girimonte with 10. Luke Luukkonen scored nine points for Dickson Printing; Louis Davis added seven. Part a darts master again Pickering juniors lose eighth in a row; deal more players at trade deadline PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers, for all intents and pur- poses, are waving the white flag on the current junior hockey season. The Panthers (9-27-1) waved it on the ice, surrendering a 5-0 shut- out to the visiting Toronto Junior Canadiens in OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. The game represented the last-place Panthers eighth loss in a row. The Pickering juniors play to- night (Wednesday) in Toronto against the upstart Dixie Beehives at the Weston Arena at 7:30 p.m. The Canadiens peppered Pan- thers’ starting goalie Brennan Poderzay with 58 shots in the con- test. Meanwhile, Toronto’s Matt Dickson had a markedly lighter workload with only 26 Panther shots sent his way. Pickering minor hockey prod- uct Brent Tamane paced the Ca- nadiens’ attack with two goals. Another Pickering product, Kyle Wetering, also registered a goal, as did former Panther forward Greg Payne, who was dealt to Toronto at the league-wide trade deadline last week. Paul Chiasson, formerly of the Ajax Attack, notched the other goal. The Panthers also waved the flag in the boardroom, as GM Gary Watters traded off several more veteran players at the trade deadline. In addition to Payne, the Panthers traded forward Chad Beal (Wellington Dukes of the East Con- ference) and forward Cody Smith, who started the season with the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights, who went to the Aurora Tigers of the North Conference. To fill the roster void, the Pan- thers have brought up several To- ronto Red Wings players from the midget affiliate, including forwards Jordan Custoreri and Luke Puiras, and defencemen Jeff Duke and Kyle Puiras, who suited up in last Friday’s loss to Toronto. The Panthers play Dixie on home ice on Friday at the recreation com- plex at 7:30 p.m. Pickering plays the neighbouring Ajax Attack for the final time this season at the Ajax Community Centre on Sun- day at 3 p.m. Pickering currently leads the six-game season series between the two clubs three games to two. After this weekend’s slate of games, the Panthers have nine games remaining in the regular- season schedule.

January 15 , 1975 Your passing so sudden, still not real Shock, sadness, grief … how else should we feel? You touched so many lives in your short time here, Your spirit will always remain near. Summers on the boat, Winters on the rink, Back with your mother, a peaceful way to think Thank you for the three special gifts you left behind, Each of them are like you "one of a kind". There wasn't a tournament, dance floor or good time you couldn't tackle, What each of us would give to hear one more time, that familiar Beard cackle.
