On Tuesday, police identified the victim as 19-year-old Jeff Warne. Police say 19 year old is second homicide victim of 2008 Second man taken to hospital with gunshot wound By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Police have confirmed the identity of a young man murdered in a Pickering home early Sunday. Jeff Warne, 19, was found dead by cops responding to a report of a shooting on Hol- lyhedge Drive, shortly after midnight. An- other man sustained a non life-threatening gunshot wound, police said. Police are releasing few details about the homicide, the second in Pickering and Dur- ham Region in a little over a week. An autop- sy was conducted on the victim Tuesday but police aren’t confirming a cause of death. Durham homicide Detective Dave Hen- derson said police responding to an emer- gency call made from the residence, at 1675 Hollyhedge Dr., in the Brock Road-Major Oaks Drive area, found the body of the de- ceased man in a basement apartment, while another man with a non life-threatening gunshot wound was taken to hospital. That man, who has spoken to police, is a “crucial” witness, Det. Henderson said. “The second victim is the landlord; he rents the basement,” he said. The killing was not the result of a dispute among people in the house, Det. Henderson said. “The offender is not someone from inside the residence.” It’s not known if the homicide arose from a home invasion or some similar offence. “At this stage it’s too early to tell,” Det. Henderson said. Residents in the neighbourhood ex- pressed surprise about the killing in what they described as a quiet home. The incident occurred less than two weeks after the murder of 23-year-old Khristian Gerri Ottley of Valley Farm Road, who was found inside his vehicle on Valley Farm north of Finch Avenue on the afternoon of Jan. 15. An investigation into that homicide is ongoing. Anyone with information on the weekend incident is asked to call Det. Henderson at 905-579-1520, ext. 5326 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. On Monday morning, as children were heading off to school and people were out walking dogs, yellow police tape still sur- rounded two houses and a pair of cruisers were still posted outside the house. Joe Rajab, who lives near the site, says, “A detective came over early Saturday morning when the incident first happened. I didn’t see any suspicious activity. They were very hard-working individuals.” Mr. Rajab, whose wife is expecting the couple’s first child, says this sort of incident is “unheard of” in the neighbourhood. “It’s a quiet community, quiet area,” he says. “It’s pretty shocking. “We see them (the people living in the house) in the summer, but we didn’t have any direct contact with them,” Mr. Rajab adds. Other neighbours said they never spoke with the people living in the house, but had seen them around. A man whose house backs onto the mur- der scene says they didn’t hear anything. “We were all sleeping.” As for any problems at the house, he says, “Not that I heard of.” -- With files from Keith Gilligan One dead in Pickering shooting newsdurhamregion.com Watch video from the scene at newsdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 30, 2008 Residents have had enough of saying goodbye to long-time friends By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Protestors, politicians and saddened residents marched along the streets of Brougham on Monday, carrying a casket not to mourn a death, but the loss of hopes and dreams of a longtime resident. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the presence of God and this company to gently put to rest the hopes and dreams of Mike Puterbough,” Warren Keyes, who acted as a reverend, read from the eulogy. “Here he raised his family of three girls to respect this land and here he hoped to spend the rest of his days, in this now too-quiet ham- let.” It was the day Mr. Puterbough, who moved into his Brougham home in 1974, packed up his belongings and moved out. The 59-year- old has been fighting Transport Canada and Public Works in a court battle for the past three years, and said he was finally evicted because his home wasn’t worth fixing. “How can a landlord neglect the property then use that as an excuse for evicting a ten- ant?” Mr. Puterbough said, a common ques- tion amongst others in his situation. The federal government expropriated 7,500 hectares of farmland, including more than 700 homes, in 1972, but has still given no final word on whether an airport will be built or not on the land. In the meantime, the community has been slowly diminish- ing, and residents in north Pickering have been fighting evictions and demolitions of homes. The local anti-airport group Land Over Landings (LOL) began as People or Plains, of which Michael Robertson was a founding member. He spoke of his disgust at the pro- test. “We’re here witnessing what, for a normal landlord, was an illegal act,” he said to about 50 supporters. “A winter eviction, after 33 years, and with a heart condition, Mike is lit- erally put out in the cold. This is clearly over the edge of common decency, if not the law.” LOL member Mary Delaney also spoke, say- ing Brougham has been dying a slow death. “I suspect the pioneers are rolling over in their graves right now,” she said, but added they’re probably happy that residents are still fighting. But for Mr. Puterbough, the fight is over. He will move in with family in Uxbridge for the time being, but isn’t sure where he’ll go after that. “I’ve been very angry but today I just feel complete sadness,” Mr. Puterbough said. With files from Torstar News Service Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Mary Delaney speaks at a protest about the recent eviction of a sick man on the airport lands in Brougham. Members of Land Over Landings staged the event to bring awareness to the plight of people living in the area.

The $200 million disbursement of funds is targeted at energy efficiency initiatives, cam- pus safety and security, and the renewal of existing infrastructures, and is part of $1.4 bil- lion promised by the provincial government for strategic infrastructure investments. Of the $75 million given to colleges and universities in the Greater Toronto Area, the UOIT received $1.35 million and Durham College $2.3 million. In contrast, the Univer- sity of Toronto received $25.6 million. UOIT president Ron Bordessa said he was delighted at the announcement. “We’re different than most post-secondary institutions, though, because our facilities are in good shape. We’re not in a position where we need to back up and improve the efficien- cy of our systems. But we’re always wanting to improve safety and security on our campus for staff and students and the degree of cau- tion with which we have to approach those issues,” he said. Mr. Bordessa said the money is also welcome for building more academic infrastructure. With more than 5,000 students now attending the UOIT, just four-and-a-half years after it opened, the university is growing so quickly that some offices and classes are held in two huge portables. Durham College, which celebrated its 40 anniversary last fall and has more than 6,000 full-time students, will be using the $2.34 mil- lion for all three categories, said Martin Hicks, vice-president of planning. “Energy efficiency is a big deal here, not only because some of our buildings were built between 30 and 40 years ago, but because Durham Region is about energy so we want to set a good example in that area,” said Mr. Hicks. “We’ve been very lucky when it comes to safety and security here, but we look at best practices in that area and take cues. Things like security on entrances, camera monitors, shuttle buses, and buddy systems are all prac- tices we’re discussing.” newsdurhamregion.com Watch video from the protest at newsdurhamregion.com Oshawa councillor wants all patrol cars to be Impalas By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Durham police are set to go shopping for 55 new vehicles after Regional Council approved the purchase Wednes- day. The mix of cars, vans, and SUVs will cost just more than $1.6 million, slightly less than was spent on a similar purchase last year. The money would come from the regular police budget. The request for pre-budget approval is made each year because orders for limited police package vehicles need to be placed with Ford and GM early in the calendar year, prior to the Region’s budget being ap- proved. By doing so, the cars will be on the road by late summer when the old cars are set to be auctioned off. Police vehicles are replaced every five years or between 160,000 and 200,000 ki- lometres, resulting in the lowest lifetime expense. After that, the repair costs increase and auction values decrease, said a report to the Region’s finance committee and adminis- tration committee. Of the 55 cars, 21 would be marked cruis- ers. Of those, 10 would be Chevrolet Impalas and another 11 would be Ford Interceptors. According to the report from the police, that would maintain the two-thirds Impala, one-third Interceptor balance among patrol cars. Though $5,000 more expensive over its life and 10 per cent less fuel efficient, the Interceptors are slightly wider in the front seat and used for two-officer patrols. Before the purchase was passed at coun- cil, Oshawa regional councillor Robert Lutczyk added an amendment that recom- mended all the patrol cars bought be Impa- las. “I think often we take for granted what GM provides to this community ... it pro- vides the biggest single amount into the bank account of Durham Region,” said Coun. Lutczyk. After the meeting, Coun. Lutczyk said he understands 11 cars won’t make or break GM, but it sends the right signal. Some councillors asked what would hap- pen if the purchases pushed the police over their budget guideline for the year. “If they go over the guidelines, they have to find the money,” said Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce. The new vehicles will replace about a sixth of the police fleet. www.dce.ca Register online at Durham Continuing Education 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa ATTENTION PARENTS DRIVER EDUCATION For further information and to register call: 905-436-3211 or 1-800-408-9619 or visit our website to download a registration form.

The City owns a 41 per cent share in Veridian, and as a result of its $8 million net income in 2007, David Clark, executive vice presi- dent of corporate services and chief financial officer, announced the $1.64 mil- lion for the City. “This investment has proved to be a real jewel,” Mr. Clark said. Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Bill McLean, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson sit on the Veridian Corporation board of directors. “I’d like to commend the current board members for their good work on our be- half,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. Mr. Clark said Veridian cur- rently enjoys minimal debt, a strong cash flow, and a strong safety record, with more than 1.8 million hours without a loss-time acci- dent. He also mentioned in 2008, the dividend will be paid in quarterly install- ments. DURHAM — Hospitals in Durham Region are getting a one-time cash infusion to help with population growth pressures. The Central East Local Health Integration Network is handing out more than $1 million to eight hospitals under its jurisdiction. Lakeridge Health is re- ceiving $247,725, the Rouge Valley Health System gets $207,057 and the Whitby Mental Health Centre has been allocated $83,234. “All of our hospitals are dealing with volume pres- sures due to increasing pop- ulation growth and demand as they come to the end of their current fiscal year,” Deborah Hammons, CEO of the Central East LHIN, says in a press release. “Our direction to our hospitals is to use this funding to meet these needs.” Pickering receives a hefty cheque Health dollars to ease growth pressures By Josie Newman jnewman@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Small gym- nasiums and libraries in many area schools have prompted a public school board study on how to bring the older facilities up to 2008 standards. “The days won’t come back where the Province will give us millions and millions of dollars for new gymnasiums. We need to look at which schools don’t have gyms with modern cri- teria. With the prevalence of health concerns like obe- sity and Type 2 diabetes, the need is even greater,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau. Trustee Croteau’s motion calling for the study passed at the Jan. 21 Durham Dis- trict School Board meeting. She said Frenchman’s Bay Public School, built in 1965 and expanded in 1966, doesn’t have enough room to accommodate 500 stu- dents in its gym, let alone its current population of 855 pupils. “The principal there told me the students have physi- cal education classes out- side all year round, even during the winter,” said Trustee Croteau. In contrast to that school’s 2,290-square-foot gym, Highbush Public School has a 4,006-square-foot gym and Valley Farm Public School a 4,280-square-foot facility, although all three schools have a similar num- ber of students, she said. “The idea isn’t just that a lot of schools have smaller gyms, but we can’t continue talking about equitable ser- vices for all students when you go to older areas and they have smaller gyms while the new schools have great facilities,” said Trustee Croteau. Several Whitby schools have the same prob- lem with their gyms, said Whitby Trustee John Dol- stra. He cited R.A. Sennett Public School, a brick facil- ity built in the 1800s with a current population of 350 students, and Florence M. Heard Public School, which has a population of 350 who use the gym of the neigh- bouring Leslie McFarlane Public School, as examples. He said many school librar- ies suffer from the same space shortage. “There isn’t enough room to do what kids want to do in libraries, like large lectures, working on computers and more space for all the books,” said Trustee Dolstra. “There’s a flaw in the funding formula for school gyms and libraries, not just here in Durham board but across the province,” said Trustee Dolstra. Once a report is written for trustees, he’d like the board to send a joint letter, along with the province’s other 32 school boards, ask- ing for proper accommoda- tion for gyms and libraries. 555ONLY DAYS LEFT Monday Feb. 4th MIDNIGHTover 5 0 % SOLD For More Information Call 1-888-211-7690 10% Buyers Premium We have a large selection of: • 3 piece Sofa Sets and Sectionals in many designer colours, Italian Leathers to Designer Fabrics • Oak, Mahogany and Cherrywood 9 piece Dining Room Suites, some with matching Buffet and Hutches • 8 Piece Bedroom Suites, including European Designs • Hand carved Fern Stands • Huge selection of Classical Style Hall Mirrors • Bathroom vanities with Sink • Limited Edition Artworks including Bateman & The Group of Seven • Top quality 72 Pc.

Far from it. There is still much to do before a final decision comes down on this hotly debated issue. To hear some tell it, an incinerator is all but guaranteed to start burning waste within three years. All that’s left to do is put a shovel in the ground. Such assumptions, however, are com- pletely off the mark. The recent decision by the regions of Durham and York to OK the Courtice site merely allows for detailed site-specific studies. The environmental assessment pro- cess will take the remainder of the year and then must be evaluated by the Prov- ince. In the interim, the Region will do a business case study to determine wheth- er incineration is a financially viable waste solution. By May of this year, the Region will put out a formal request for proposals to determine what type of incinerator will be built and who would be best to pro- vide the technology. By the fall, the Region will select the vendor and technology to be used -- should the Region decide to go ahead with energy from waste. By the end of this year, Durham and York will be able to evaluate the envi- ronmental assessment and site-specific studies but the final say on those reports resides with the Ministry of the Environ- ment. It could give the OK to continue the process by mid-2009. It could also say no, which would stop the process. What’s key is that, at any time, the Region could raise the red flag about the cost of the proposed facility or about its environmental safety and kill the proj- ect. All those with an interest in energy from waste -- including politicians and members of the public -- should get all the information they can and pay close attention to the study results. To be fair to all sides in this debate, people should keep an open mind until the details are in on health, environment and financial impact.

However, Canada slowly and confus- ingly became embroiled in a counter- insurgency war. We were not prepared in any sense for what was to follow. The Manley report makes difficult read- ing for the Liberals and for the Conserva- tives. It does support extending the mis- sion, but with key provisos. It’s certain that the three critical compo- nents for success: military input, recon- struction and diplomatic efforts have not been working in a co-ordinated or effec- tive fashion since this confused mission started. Disturbingly, while the nature of the mission has changed and evolved over time, our politicians and the public have not been able to keep up. Part of the prob- lem has been the lack of effective civilian management over this affair -- a charge that both the former Liberal and current Conservative governments are guilty of. Canada will continue to play a signifi- cant role in Afghanistan but only if the mission can possibly succeed in rebuild- ing Afghanistan. That depends on our NATO allies’ real input and in the creation of an effective combined approach from three branches of our government to work together, with a dedicated civilian leader to oversee the outcome. In other words, for all those things to happen, it’s going to take a miracle. Dr. Sean Godfrey Oshawa Flaherty needs to concern himself with 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 clos- ing 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 technology and manufacturing here. One last thing. Thanks Mr. Flaherty for the overwhelming leadership role that your government showed at the Bali Con- ference. It shows Canada once again that the Conservatives cannot make a com- mitment 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 reso- lution 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 manufacturing industry -- not! Brent Roberts Whitby Column inspires soldier To the editor: I am in Edmonton for five weeks as part of my unit’s workups for deployment to Afghanistan later this year. I just read, online courtesy of Spotlight on Military News http://www.cfc.forces. gc.ca/spotnews_e.html, “We need to be there for our troops” by Bryan Jackson -- several times. I am not quite sure how to describe my reactions; I was certainly touched by the story and impressed by the eloquence, but more than that I was amazed to read that Bryan was only 12 years old. I am more than four times his age and would be challenged to write so well. After 35 years of service, I certainly do not need more examples of why I do what I do but Bryan has just given me another huge one. Of those who have passed under that bridge, two have been friends, and one the son and brother of two other friends of mine. All have been colleagues. If you can, please pass on my thanks for his support -- taking his position on a bridge, writing about it so well and under- standing what many far older cannot. Thanks, Bryan. Mark L.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 30, 2008 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com Claremont kids headed to Uxbridge for high school By Josie Newman jnewman@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Students who graduate from Claremont Pub- lic School will attend Uxbridge Secondary School instead of an Ajax high school. Claremont students now attending J. Clarke Richardson will be able to finish their high school years at the Ajax school and Grade 8 students currently at Claremont PS will be allowed to attend J. Clarke if their older siblings do as well. The Durham District School Board voted Monday in favour of the change following months of meetings and acri- monious public debate over the merits and drawbacks of the two schools. A lack of space at J. Clarke, declining enrolment at Ux- bridge, and a preference by most Claremont families for Uxbridge SS over J. Clarke prompted school board officials to scrutinize the situation. A survey sent to families of Clare- mont students last September showed 92 families in favour of sending their children to Uxbridge rather than J. Clarke, and 14 families against the move. Of the 92 families in favour of the change, four of them have children at J. Clarke and eight of them at Uxbridge SS. J. Clarke, with a maximum capacity of 1,401 pupils, has 1,888 students, with many of them attending classes in the school’s 21 portables. If Claremont students weren’t streamed into Uxbridge, the student population at J. Clarke would be 1,945 by September, according to a staff report prepared for Monday’s meeting. With the change, student numbers at J. Clarke will decrease to 1,858 by September. Dr. Gerry Thomson of Claremont says the move “irks him a bit. “Two of my children have attended J. Clarke and one of them will attend there next year. That school has great pro- gram offerings, more diversity, and, with its size, can better prepare children for university and the world beyond,” he said.

About 20 people gath- ered recently at Pickering Coun- cil Chambers for an infor- mal Town Hall meeting with Mr. McTeague. The anti-airport group Land Over Landings made the biggest showing, and asked him what can be done to address their con- cerns. Mr. McTeague noted Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland deals directly with the issue, but since he tackled it in past years when he was Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MP, he offered some advice. He thinks local councillors should meet face-to-face with federal officials, such as the Minister of Trans- port or his designate, to find some long-term solu- tions. Otherwise, he said, priorities change as gov- ernments do. “I think the first order of business is to have these issues of the disposition of the lands and the fate of the lands and people discussed openly,” he said in an in- terview. Wendy and Gary Beelby have been fighting an evic- tion from their Brougham home, and Ms. Beelby said Transport Canada (which owns the lands in north Pickering and Markham) uses arguments such as mold to evict them, but believes that’s due to the lack of maintenance on their home. Meanwhile, she said, Transport Can- ada spends money on empty houses. There was an informal moratorium on the homes while the Liberal gov- ernment was still in power, but that was lost when the Con- servatives took over. Therefore, Mr. McTeague believes a prop- er inventory of what could be repaired and rented out at appropriate levels could allow cost recovery at the very least without throw- ing people out. Environmentalist and Scarborough resident Jim Robb asked about Mr. McTeague’s position on Seaton. He said there has to be a commitment to substantial infrastruc- ture, which can be difficult given the sensitivity of the lands, saying the province has “quite a balancing act.” He also feels a more rig- orous environmental as- sessment is needed. Mr. McTeague also spoke on Canada’s role in Afghani- stan. He said Canada has to define “what the pur- pose of our mission is. “We feel Canada should be there, but not in a com- bative way,” he said.

Lend a hand to those who may not be physically able to shovel or who may find walking to the store or bus stop too treacherous because of the snow or ice • keep your children safe - don’t let them play in the snow piles or on the snow banks at the side of the road • when clearing snow, pile it on your property - it should not be shovelled onto the sidewalk or street • place your garbage containers and blue box on a cleared area - do not perch them on the top of snow piles • help prevent street flooding and icing by clearing snow away from storm sewer catchbasins. When the weather turns warmer and snow begins to melt it’s important that the runoff water gets into the storm sewer. If the catch basin is fully or partially covered by a build-up of snow and ice street flooding can occur. Should the thermometer dip again, the street can become an ice rink A few things you can do to help yourself: • sometimes it takes several passes with the plow to completely clear the street. Wait until plowing is completed, and you will only have to shovel your driveway once • when you shovel your driveway, place the snow on the “down- stream” (right side) so your driveway won’t be filled in the next time the plow comes by Things you can do to help the City crews: • observe snow by-laws • don’t park overnight on any City street • don’t park your vehicle at the end of your driveway in a way that would impede the City plow • avoid unnecessary spinning of tires at intersections. This practice is dangerous and is hazardous to other motorists. It also tends to “ice up” the intersections • avoid installing mail boxes where they can be damaged by plow- ing operations. Canada Post can provide guidelines concerning the proper distances mail boxes should be placed from road surfaces “DRIVE CAREFULLY” The Municipal Property & Engineering Division, Operation Centre attempts to minimize the impact of snow and ice.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 30, 2008 PAGE 9 Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 30, 2008 PICKERING – Terry Nuspl sees herself as an honest person, but says she may become a “criminal” if pesti- cides are banned in Pickering. That’s because she refuses to hire a lawn care company, which will most likely still be able to spray for insect infestations if the bylaw is passed. She claims lawn care compa- nies spray most of the lawns on her Pickering street far too often, while she uses a granular pesticide about once every four or five years. She said she’ll still use them, but at 2 a.m. when she can worry less about getting caught. Ms. Nuspl suggests allotting two yellow tags per year to residents in Pickering, and they could only spray pesti- cides those times. “They’re only making more work for the lawn services,” Ms. Nuspl said. The debate, a hot one in Pickering for years, may come to an end on March 24, the day the draft pesticide bylaw comes to Council. City staff have held public meetings, collected questionnaires and hired consultants from MMM Group Ltd. for just under $15,000 to get a wide range of feedback. “It’s absolutely important,” said Chantal Whitaker, co-ordinator of envi- ronmental awareness programs at the City. “If people couldn’t come out to (the public) session we still really encourage them to get involved.” If the bylaw is passed as it stands, commercial applicators would be banned from spraying in Pickering as of March 25 of this year, while homeowners, would have until Jan, 1, 2009. This makes no sense to Chris Lemcke, the technical co-ordi- nator of Weed Man, especially since residents are less experienced with lawn care. “Right now they’re passing bylaws and not giving us much opportunity to adjust because we have to adjust so quickly,” he said. “If it was a longer time, if they gave us a year, two years to adjust, then it makes more sense.” Ward 3 City Councillor David Pick- les explained early dates were partly chosen to get discussion rolling. “It’s probably very ambitious,” he said. “We put an earlier date in there just to make people aware it could be implemented that early.” Mr. Lemcke challenged the claim that pesticides pose health risks, arguing the products he uses are less toxic than caffeine. But Gideon Forman, executive di- rector of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment was at one meeting to argue that pesti- cides pose three health risks: cancer; birth defects; and neurological prob- lems. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell has also long-argued that pesticides cause health problems, in- cluding sterility, kidney damage, and brain and lung cancer. Mr. Lemcke questioned why Health Canada wasn’t invited to a public meeting, and City Superintendent of Municipal Operations, John Hannah, said the meetings were intended for consultation and he didn’t want a shouting match to break out. “I think the intent was more im- portantly to see how this bylaw would impact the residents of Pickering, or at least the stakeholders who use Pickering as a place of business, and that’s why we attacked it that way,” he said. Don Voorhees of Noldus of Dur- ham (a tree and turf management company) and a Pickering resident, said the ban won’t affect his business much since he teaches his clients that properly feeding and nurturing trees and lawns will make them grow healthy, and build up a strong im- mune system to fight off disease. He uses integrated pest management, and believes “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. “Most of what we’re trying to teach our clients is keep your shrubs, your trees, your grass healthy, just like PESTICIDE PERSPECTIVES: Councillors, homeowners and business reps share their opinions of the proposed ban in Pickering “Your government will introduce tough new toxic reduction legislation that would reduce pollution. It would inform and protect Ontarians from toxic chemicals in the air, water, land and consumer products. New legislation would also ban the cosmetic use of pesticides in our cities and towns.” Ontario Speech from the Throne, Nov. 29, 2007 WARNING PESTICIDE USEUSEFOR INFORMATION CON T A C T TYPE DATE POSTED DATE SPRAYED ✦ See the next page THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 30, 2008 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com your body,” he said. “If you do get something, it’ll bounce back much quicker than if you’ve never done it.” But Mr. Voorhees said pes- ticides are needed to control insect infestations such as the Emerald Ash Borer, an exotic beetle, which he said is coming this way, and cur- rently on its way to Toronto. “They don’t allow pesti- cides there, and there’s going to be a lot of trees lost,” he said. Resident Joanne Nickle agrees with Pickering’s di- rection on the issue, but still has plenty of questions. She wonders why golf courses w ill be exempt if it’s such an environmental concern, especially since her backyard sees far less people than the average golf course. “I don’t think a full-out ban is the answer, but I don’t know what the answer is, and that’s what Council needs to figure out before they go ahead with this bylaw,” she said. She also worries about a lack of education to teach residents proper alterna- tives. Coun. Pickles said “the information will be there,” whether it’s through litera- ture available at the library and Pickering City Hall, or on the City’s web site. He said Pickering golf courses are not adjacent to playgrounds and schools, and they mostly spot-spray certain areas. He added he’s not advocating golf courses be exempt, but that’s the reasoning behind it. After the public meetings, Coun. Pickles said residents had valid questions, and staff and council will address them when making and de- ciding on the final bylaw. “Those are the things we have to work through to make a workable bylaw that people will be able to support,” he said. The organic revolution DURHAM — It always takes a while to change habits that have been around since the 1950s, says a local horticulturist. Phil Bull works with two organic lawn-care companies, Green Leaf Gardening and Property Services, where he is a partner, and Turf Revolution, which he helped found. The latter provides products for homeowners and holds seminars for commercial applicators across Canada. “It’s only been the last couple of years that people have begun to pay attention I think,” he says. When people ask Mr. Bull what he has to control weeds, he asks “Why do you have weeds?” He began using organic methods when he realized he was basically an outdoor exterminator by using pesticides, and believes the answer to reducing their use is through proper soil maintenance. He said soil often supports healthy weed growth, not healthy turf growth, which means there’s not enough nutrition for soil in the grass. He explains weeds tend to be native and adaptable to the climate, and traditional fertilizers are not really meant to address the soil, but to feed the grass directly. Applying fertilizers is quicker than amending soil or adding to it beneath the growth, so they’re commonly used. Since lawns are then nutritionally incomplete, people who use them tend to have weed and insect problems that require pesticides. “It’s a little like a doctor not treating the disease, just treating the symptoms,” he said. “‘Like if the symptoms disappear, I don’t really have to worry about the underlying problem.’ That’s the way lawn care has been for a very long time.” He said organic fertilizers are useful, and by building up organic matter by one per cent, homeowners increase drought tolerance on lawns by 50 per cent. Mr. Bull is a big promoter of the science-based approach. Turf Revolution has developed an easy-to-use home soil test kit, as well as a professional one, where small samples are sent off to a fully-accredited lab that analyzes the soil, and sends back a bar graph with the results and information on exactly how to address the problem. For more information, visit www.turfrevolution.com. Better lawn tips, etc: • A lot of garden centres are trying to carry green products, but are facing a stumbling block because customers don’t know where to find them. He hopes using organics doesn’t “end up dying out simply because nobody can really stock the products and make money stocking them.” • Using three different types of grass on a turf stand provides better resistance than using just one. • Proper watering techniques and keeping lawn mower blades sharp make a world of difference to your lawn. • A lack of nutrition in soil can often result from the removal of top soil when homes are built, leaving only a sub-soil. “That’s why you have ground that’s like concrete when you get into July and August,” he says. • Pickering is forward-thinking, since they’ve been using organics on sports fields for the past several years. “The City of Pickering is fairly up on it, but they do need to run, I think, some information nights,” he says. “The more we can do to do the natural thing is better for me.” Pat Perry, Pickering resident “We’re not against bylaws if they’re fair and they certainly make sense.” Chris Lemcke, technical co-ordinator, Weed Man “A lot of research shows a connection with pesticides and cancer, the second is birth defects...and the third is neurological problems - brain problems like Parkinson’s Disease, for example.” Gideon Forman, executive director, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment Exemptions from the proposed bylaw While the bylaw says “no person shall apply or cause or permit the application of any pesticide within the City,” there are some exemptions: Specific exemptions: agricultural; pest control in buildings; insect infestations; public health reasons; noxious weeds; conservation authorities lands; golf courses and/or driving ranges; and utility/hydro corridors. General exemptions: to disinfect swimming pools, whirlpools, spas or wading pools; to purify water intended for human or animal use; as a wood preservative; for injection into trees, stumps or wooden poles; and as an insect repellent for personal use.

Classified is a Juno-nominat- ed artist, a MuchMusic Video Award winner, and the recipi- ent of multiple East Coast Music Awards. Classified has had multiple hits, including the lead-off single from his last album, ‘Hitch Hikin Music’ called ‘Find Out’, which reached No. 17 on Much- Music’s nation- wide video charts. He searches for the exact reason he entered the hip-hop game. “I just got connected with the music and then I started just making rhymes and verses. (Be- cause) no one else was giving me a record I just started my own label,” he explained. The east-coast artist creates his own records at Halflife Records, the label he started in 1995. With the release of his ninth album, ‘Trial & Error’, Classified signed a nation-wide distribution deal with Toronto-based Urbnet Records. The ‘While You Were Sleeping’ tour is in support of the record by the same name and is the artist’s 12th album. He recently completed the biggest tour he’s ever been on, which included 41 stops on the ‘No Dress Code’ tour and the re- sponse from the audiences was encouraging. Classified says hard work, con- sistency and lots of touring are essential to make it in music. “You gotta be on the road tour- ing whether you’re getting paid or not. You gotta show promot- ers that you can put on a show. Stay consistent, keep working,” he says. The Oshawa stop is on Jan. 31 at the Dungeon, 44 Bond St. East. Tickets are $17 at the door.

Top senior squads come to Durham for hoops Classic Pickering High hosts inaugural 24-team tournament starting Thursday By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The opportunity to see many of the top high school bas- ketball teams in the province is available in Durham Region this week. The inaugural Pickering High School Classic senior boys’ bas- ketball tournament tips off at the new UOIT/Durham College gym- nasium facility in north Oshawa on Thursday, Jan. 31 and runs until Feb. 2. Twenty-four teams will compete at the event hosted by the Ajax secondary school. The top-ranked Trojans (40-2 overall), led by shooting guard Devoe Joseph, a two-time ju- nior national player who’s signed to play at the Univer- sity of Min- nesota in the fall, will battle other top- ranked teams for the cham- pionship. In- cluded on that list is the H.B. Beal Secondary School Raiders of Lon- don and Mississauga’s Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic Second- ary School Titans, with both teams ranked with Pickering High among the top six in the province. Those teams, along with sev- eral top Durham Region squads, should make it a hoops treat for spectators, notes tournament or- ganizer Mike Gordensky, who’s also a coach with the Trojans. “They’ll not only see us play against some of the top teams in the GTA but all of Ontario,” says Gordensky. “People in this area don’t get to see this type of bas- ketball unless they travel outside of Durham Region.” The Trojans are enjoying a dream season, a year after post- ing the school’s first Ontario Fed- eration of School Athletic Associa- tions (OFSAA) ‘AAAA’ Basketball Championship last year. They’re winners of eight elite-level tourna- ments this season, where they’ve played -- and beaten -- the top teams in the province, including No. 2 Henry Carr of Toronto and No. 3 Eastern Commerce, also of Toronto. In addition to Devoe Joseph, the Trojans also boast the backcourt contributions of his brother Cory, a national junior team player, as well as forward Dwayne Smith and guard Juevol Myles. That said, however, Gordensky says the Trojans will need to bring their ‘A’ game to the court in Os- hawa. “Our guys are going to have to play well because of the quality of Classic sked Thursday, Jan. 31: 9:30 a.m. - Notre Dame (Ajax) vs. Milliken Mills (UOIT); 9:30 a.m. - Laurier vs. Leo Austin (Durham); 11:15 a.m. - Don Mills CI vs. Francis Liberman (UOIT); 11:15 a.m. - Dun- barton vs. St. Mike’s (Durham); 1 p.m. - Laurier vs. West Humber (UOIT); 1 p.m. - Notre Dame (Ajax) vs. St. Theresa of Lisieux (Durham); 2:45 p.m. - St. Mike’s vs. Markham (UOIT); 2:45 p.m. - Francis Liberman vs. Pickering High School; 4:15 p.m. - Milliken Mills vs. St. Theresa of Lisieux (UOIT); 4:15 p.m. - Leo Austin vs. West Humber (Durham); 6 p.m. - Don Mills CI vs. Pickering High School (UOIT); 6 p.m. - Dunbar- ton vs. Markham (Durham).

Watpool, representing Tiller’s Boxing Club, climbed into the ring against Quebec’s Emilie Deslandes in the 80-kilo FTS (Final Team Selec- tion for this year’s senior national team) division. After the four-round bout, Watpool defeated Deslandes 27-15 in points. Chris Tiller, in Watpool’s corner for the bout, says the Quebec fighter had a game plan to stay outside and out of range of Watpool’s heavy-hit- ting punches. But, the strategy was found wanting, as Watpool was able to connect with several combina- tions that staggered her Quebec op- ponent. Watpool never trailed on points in the fight. It was Watpool’s 10th career bout and she’s currently a perfect 10-0, including a championship in the heavyweight (75 to 80 kilograms) di- vision at the Canadian Open Boxing Championships at the River Rock News Advertiser file photos Tiller’s Boxing Club fighters Melinda Watpool and Ahmed Karatella represent- ed the Ajax club at nationals in Windsor. Watpool won her second national crown, while Karatella lost a close decision to a Quebec opponent. ✦ See Tiller’s, Page 14 JOIN US FOR COMPLIMENTARY LIVE ENTERTAINMENT EVERY THURSDAY EVENING!

They have to play well in order to achieve our goal to win our own tour- nament,” says Gordensky. Beal, currently ranked No. 5 in the province, boasts two players -- for- wards Adam Jesperson (U. of Hawaii) and Arnold Mayorga (Long Island Uni- versity) -- who’ve earned NCAA scholarships. “They gave us a good game in Hamilton,” recalls Gordensky. Meanwhile, Mother Te- resa is ranked as the No. 6 team in the province and has one of the best interior players in the province in Maurice Walker, a 6-foot, 9-inch, 270-pound forward, who’s given the Trojans nightmares in the post dur- ing tournament games this season. In fact, Mother Teresa is one of only two teams to hang a loss on the Trojans this season. The Trojans will compete in Pool ‘A’ with Toronto’s Francis Liberman and Don Mills Collegiate. Gorden- sky admits Pickering hasn’t played them this season, nor do they know anything about them. “I expect they’ll compete; we’re not taking anyone lightly. We have to win five games to win the tourna- ment, so we have to con- tinue to play well.” Durham Region will also be well-represented at the Pickering High School Classic. Competing are the Dunbarton High School Spartans of Pickering; Ajax High Rams, Notre Dame Cougars and J. Clarke Rich- ardson Storm of Ajax, G.L. Roberts Lakers of Oshawa and the Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby. Other teams include Laurier, Westview, St. Mike’s, Milliken Mills, Mar- tingrove, Emery, North- ern, Markham, St. Theresa of Lisieux, West Humber, Thornlea, Vaughan and Runnymede. Pool play goes Thursday and Friday. The championship round starts Saturday with quar- ter-final games starting at 10 a.m. The championship final goes at UOIT/Durham Col- lege at 8:15 p.m. ✦ Pickering from page 13 Pickering Trojans look to capture ninth tournament title of season Casino in Richmond B.C. last December. Now, Watpool will focus her energies on a grudge match with Amy ‘The War- rior’ Wilmot of the KAYO Boxing Club of Chatham. They’re expected to enter the ring at the Ray McGibbons Gloves event in St. Catharines in April. One other Tiller’s fighter, Ahmed Karatella, fought Francois Pratte of Quebec in the 48-kilo junior male final. In his first four-round bout, Karatella lost a close 27-21 decision on points. Karatella, 17, came to na- tionals with only five previous fights. Conversely, Pratte, 18, is a four-time national cham- pion in the weight class, hav- ing won two crowns each at the cadet and junior levels. Tiller says Karatella went toe-to-toe with the expe- rienced Quebec fighter in a bout that was anyone’s to win, until Pratte’s experience finally put him over the top in the late going of the fourth round. Tiller was nonetheless proud of the fighting spirit his fighter exhibited in Windsor. “I’ve been in the sport a long time and I’ve never seen a fighter with so few fights do so well,” says Tiller. “There was nothing he could do bet- ter; he was just outclassed.” Karatella joins several other Tiller’s Boxing Club fighters at the Brampton Cup card of boxing from Feb. 1 to 3. ✦ Tiller’s from page 13 Tiller’s boxers pack a punch RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES newsdurhamregion.com Please recycle your copy of the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser www.flemingcollege.com DiRt, Rocks & HUge Mac h i n e s = GReat Jobs!

Come as a sin- gle, a couple or a family. Why not introduce your children to salsa or teach them to jive?

Letz-Dance teaches you to move to the music SMITH GADD, Elizabeth (Lil)- Peacefully, in her sleep, at The Wynfield, Eliza- beth (Lil) Gadd Smith on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, one week after her 88th birthday. Lil was the loving mother of Pauline Gadd of Ajax, and Terry Gadd and his wife, Hedy, of Bowmanville, and adoring grandmother of David and Pe- ter. She is survived by her sister, Bridget, of Wales, brothers and sisters-in law and their children, also of the U.K., and her dear nieces, Sheila and Sioban (San Diego) and their families. Lil was raised in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland where she met her dear husband, George Gadd. Shortly after immigrating with their children to Ajax, Lil became a widow too soon. Never an idle woman, Lil launched herself into volunteer work with the Ajax Pickering Hospital's, Pediatric Education Program. Healthy and energetic until the age of 80 Lil was still golf- ing, dancing, volunteering, and cheering on the Maple Leafs and The Jays. Lil was a strong woman, a tiny feisty fighter, who overcame life's many challenges, supported by her family, and sustained by her Catholic faith. Though our hearts are breaking, we know Mum is home and happy with the wind at her back.
