NEWS/3
Report says proper
development practices
will make or break it
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Although only a
small portion of the Rouge Water-
shed falls in Pickering, City staff
believe it’s a significant public
asset that should be protected.
Council recently approved the
final draft of the Rouge River Wa-
tershed Plan, a draft report from
the Rouge Watershed Task Force,
which has been working on it for
two-and-a-half years. The task
force includes members from the
public, not-for-profit organiza-
tions, and representatives from
all levels of government agencies,
and is co-ordinated by the Toron-
to and Region Conservation Au-
thority (TRCA) and Rouge Park.
Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick
Johnson is the municipality’s rep-
resentative. The watershed spans
336 square kilometres of land and
water and less than five per cent
of that is in Pickering.
“It’s got a rich, rich history and
we’re a little part of that, so we can
celebrate it, too,” said Catherine
Rose, the City’s policy planning
manager.
Although the watershed is cur-
rently healthy, the plan finds it’s
showing signs of stress from the
effects of urban development.
Stress includes increased water
pollution and surface runoff,
greater annual flow volumes in
rivers and streams and loss of bio-
diversity.
“They are signs that the abil-
ity of the air, land and water to
absorb the negative impacts of
human activities is strained and
cannot be sustained over the long
term unless fundamental changes
are made,” the report states.
Therefore, the plan recom-
mends strategies to address those
negative impacts and to develop
and use sustainable practices for
future development. There are also
nearly 140 specific implementa-
tion recommendations. The three
broad strategies are: establishing
a targeted terrestrial natural heri-
tage system; building sustainable
communities; and, developing a
regional open space system. The
task force’s goals address: ground-
water; surface water; stream form;
aquatic system; terrestrial system;
air quality and climate change;
cultural heritage; nature-based
recreation; and, sustainable land
and resource use.
Ms. Rose said since most of
the developable lands that lie in
Pickering already have homes on
them, if any development were
to occur on Pickering’s part of
the watershed, it would be “very
minor infilling.”
The plan will go to the Toronto
and Region Conservation Author-
ity Board at the end of March for
its approval.

Craig Burch loved interaction with kids the most
Learning French and
guitar, trying his hand
at non-fiction next up
By Josie Newman
jnewman@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Craig Burch retired
from his role as director of edu-
cation last week, but his memory
will linger on in the minds of the
students, teachers and principals
whose lives he touched.
A focused yet gracious man, Mr.
Burch’s most vivid memories of his
35 years as a high school history
teacher, vice-principal, principal,
superintendent, and director are of
the highs and lows in his students’
lives.
“At the top of my list were the
three times I took my rugby teams
on tour to Wales,” he says.
“And the saddest moments were
the five times I had students die.”
With a twinkle in his blue eyes,
Mr. Burch recalls the happy times
he’s shared with students from ju-
nior kindergarten to high school
during his tenure as director of the
Durham District School Board.
“I visited schools half a day each
week and loved it.
“I told some Grade 5 boys just
last night that I was so old when I
learned how to play hockey that I
didn’t have to wear a mask,” he says
with a laugh.
Born and raised in Oshawa -- he
and his wife still live in the same
house they bought there 34 years
ago -- Mr. Burch’s first job was as a
history teacher at R.S. McLaughlin
CVI, the high school he attended.
“It was unusual teaching along-
side my former teachers, but they
accepted me and it worked out just
fine,” he says.
He went on to teach history at
G.L. Roberts CVI in Oshawa, to be-
come vice-principal in training at
General Vanier Secondary School,
a former vocational school in Os-
hawa, vice-principal at Anderson
CVI in Whitby, and principal at
Pickering High School.
“I loved each job, but I always
welcomed the diversity and chal-
lenges of the next one, too,” Mr.
Burch says.
When asked about the high
school drop-out rate in Ontario,
which is said to be anywhere from
12 to 40 per cent, Mr. Burch says
the Durham board has seen a de-
crease over the past three years. He
believes one reason for this is he
pushed hard for the Ministry of Ed-
ucation to allow him to hire teach-
ers whose job is to focus strictly on
credit recovery, a form of tutoring,
for those students who drop or fail
courses.
“I encourage high schools to
offer courses that major in life
skills, such as cook/chef, hospital-
ity/tourism, and construction tech-
nology, alongside the regular aca-
demic curriculum. Those courses
keep the children in school,” says
Mr. Burch.
“Studies show that 50 per cent
of kids who graduate from high
school don’t go further academi-
cally, and my heart is with those
kids because I taught so long in
a vocational setting. This is a real
change in Ontario, to recognize the
needs of those 50 per cent who
don’t go on.”
Mr. Burch’s retirement plans
include learning to speak French
for his upcoming trip to southern
France with his wife, Susan, to try
writing non-fiction -- “my favourite
books are by William Kaplan,” he
quips -- and to learn to play guitar.

Craig Burch, who started in public education in Durham as an elementary student at Coronation Public School in Os-
hawa, retired last week as the Durham District School Board’s director of education.
Transit pass program for high school pupils extended until June
DURHAM — A pilot project that
offered Durham Region Transit
passes to high school students
with a 30 per cent discount has
been extended until this June.
The restricted pass, valid
Monday to Friday from 6 a.m.
until 7 p.m. for $43 per month,
was introduced last October as
a three-month trial to Durham
District School Board students.
The regular cost is $65. To be
eligible, students must live more
than 3.2 kilometres away from
their school.
An unrestricted pass, valid at
all times, is available to students
for $56 rather than the regular
cost of $78.
The restricted pass is available
at any DDSB high school, while
the upgrade to an unrestricted
pass must be made at the United
Way kiosk at the Oshawa Centre.

Region considers roundabouts, and Uxbridge may be first up
Ajax has six
with six more
on the way
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Uxbridge
residents may soon be
driving around in circles as
the Region of Durham con-
siders adding roundabouts
to its traffic policy.
On Wednesday, the
works committee ap-
proved adding modern
roundabouts into the mix
and considering the Brock
Street (Regional Road 8)
and 6th Concession Road
in Uxbridge as a candidate
for one.
Susan Siopis, director
of transportation and field
services for the Region,
said roundabouts offer sev-
eral advantages, primarily
when it comes to safety.
They reduce overall colli-
sions by 40 per cent and
collisions involving injury
or death by 60-to-80 per
cent. That’s because round-
abouts eliminate head-on
and left-turn collisions and
reduce speeds.
They can also improve
traffic flow and reduce
emissions due to less
stops.
“For us it’s another tool,
another tool we can use
based on circumstances,”
said Ms. Siopis.
The disadvantages of
roundabouts include chal-
lenges for the visually im-
paired and longer walking
distances for pedestrians.
“They may not be pos-
sible in some of our more
built-up areas, but in rural
and semi-rural areas,
they’re particularly appli-
cable,” said Ms. Siopis.
She added that the Ux-
bridge roundabout could
act as a gateway feature.
The Works Commit-
tee approved just under
$1.5 million for improve-
ments to the Uxbridge
intersection, which sees
about 9,500 vehicles daily.
If council approves that
amount and staff decide a
roundabout would be the
best option, staff would not
need to go back to council
with the issue as long as
the project comes in on or
under budget.
Either way, the intersec-
tion would be improved
this year.
While modern round-
abouts are common in
Europe, Australia and the
U.S., they’re now being in-
troduced back into Cana-
da.
Although they would
be new to regional roads,
some Durham residents
are already familiar with
them. The Town of Ajax
has six, with another six
planned.
Two of the roundabouts,
on Pickering Beach Road,
were built at existing inter-
sections.
Juan Rojas, capital proj-
ects co-ordinator for the
Town, said residents have
adjusted to them.
The biggest complaint
about them is that some
drivers entering the round-
about don’t yield to those
already in it, but Mr. Rojas
expects that will improve as
people get used to them.
Ms. Siopis said the
roundabout in Uxbridge
would be larger than the
ones in south Ajax.
The Region will make a
presentation to Uxbridge
Council and councillors at
the works committee sup-
ported the idea.
“It’s about time we got
on board. As Mayor of Ux-
bridge I strongly support
the construction of this
roundabout,” said Mayor
Bob Shepherd.

Angling for a big one
AJAX — John Kiriopoulos of Oshawa started the new year like a true angler, casting a
line in Duffins Creek on a perfect morning.
Polite bandit holds door open after hitting Pickering bank
Wednesday morning
robbery
PICKERING — Durham police
are looking for a well-mannered
bandit who robbed a bank in
Pickering Wednesday morning.
The man made off with cash
around 10:30 a.m. after handing a
threatening note to a teller at the
Kingston Road branch of the Bank
of Montreal, Durham cops said.
The suspect placed the money
in a briefcase and then calmly
walked out, even pausing to hold
the door for an employee who was
entering, police said.
No weapon was seen and no
one was hurt during the robbery.
Police are looking for a white
man with a slim build who stands
about 5-foot-9.
He wore a dark jacket, a dark
knitted hat and appeared to have
make-up and a fake beard on his
face.
Tips can be called in to police at
905-579-1520, ext. 5355 or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Negotiating intersections in a roundabout fashion
R oundabout isn’t just a great song by
Yes, it’s a great way of dealing with
some problem traffic areas in Ajax,
Pickering and Durham as a whole.
Unfamiliar to Canadians motorists,
roundabouts are common, and can be
quite complex, in Europe. Instead of a
stop sign or stop light at an intersection,
a roundabout directs drivers in a circular
motion around a median that is also round
and smack dab in the middle of the inter-
section. Traffic yields to a vehicle already
negotiating the roundabout.
The benefits are several. Roundabouts
slow traffic down, but generally keep it
moving, reducing vehicle emissions. They
also prevent head-on and left-turn colli-
sions.
Ajax pioneered roundabouts in Durham
Region. The town now has six and is plan-
ning six more. When they first appeared,
and despite efforts by the Town to educate
the public, the roundabouts confused and
even angered some people. ‘What is this
thing?’ was the general response. Ironically,
these were likely people in a big hurry, peo-
ple whom the roundabouts are intended to
slow down. For other drivers, it was simply
a matter of getting used to the new feature
on the roads, and the complaints have
generally died down. It really isn’t hard to
make your way through a roundabout.
Now it appears Durham Region has
become enamoured of roundabouts.
Susan Siopis, director of transportation
and field services for Durham Region,
spoke to the Region’s works committee
Wednesday about incorporating round-
abouts into its traffic policy. The committee
was receptive to the idea, and Uxbridge
might become the site of the first Regional
roundabout.
If approved, the roundabout in Uxbridge
would become a test case of sorts. The
Region has already allocated roughly $1.5
million to improve the intersection, and if
it goes with a roundabout and the project
costs less, add ‘saves money’ to the list of
benefits.
Roundabouts are an option the City of
Pickering should consider for areas where
residents complain about motorists driving
too fast. It’s the No. 1 complaint councillors
hear, and roundabouts, where appropriate,
are an excellent way of safely slowing traf-
fic, yet keeping it moving.

Finding kindness
at the pharmacy
To the editor:
On Thursday evening Dec. 20, 2007, at
approximately 5 p.m., I dropped my wal-
let in freshly fallen snow in the parking
lot at the Westney Heights Plaza.
Thinking that I might have left it on the
cashier’s desk at Shoppers Drug Mart
I immediately returned from home to
the store to learn in the interim that the
wallet with everything in place had been
turned in to a cashier at the store.
I understand it was a lady who found
the wallet and she did not leave any form
of identification.
Unless a person has experienced a
similar situation it is very difficult to
explain the feeling that hits you in the pit
of your stomach. I would like to express
my sincere thanks to the lady involved
and assure everyone that reads this letter
that there still are an infinite number of
honest people in the world.

I have a silver bracelet that is very
important to me. I don’t really like
wearing a bracelet. I’ve never really
considered myself a bracelet kind of guy.
Bracelet guys have always been like neck-
lace guys in my books. They drive snazzy
cars and wear loads of cologne. They get
married a lot, mostly to women with win-
ter tans and names like Crystal, Tiffany or
Chantal; women who dig snazzy cars and
cologne. I could never pull that off. I don’t
think women named Crystal, Tiffany or
Chantal dig guys who flood rinks and kiss
their dogs on the lips.
I know that my own wife, whose name
is nowhere close to Crystal or any other
mineral, kind of hates my bracelet. She
knows it’s important to me though and
bites her tongue. She’s a good friend. Still,
I’m fairly sure there would be an immedi-
ate and frank discussion if I ever came
home in a snazzy car or came downstairs
reeking of something called “Bilge pour
l’homme.”
My bracelet is important because it
is a reminder. On it are written seven
words that have become life-savers for
me; “Nothing is worth more than this
day.” Each morning when I get up and get
dressed, regardless of what worry or issue
or concern is careening around inside my
head, when I reach for this silver bracelet
I am reminded to put the brakes on for
just a moment and realign my attitude for
the day.
I am reminded that I had cancer and
am still here and that others are not. I am
reminded to take a look around me at my
warm house, my soft bed, my warm, soft
wife, my beautiful children, and all the
million things waiting to be enjoyed in
this day I’ve just been given.
You might find it hard to believe some-
one who has had a life-threatening dis-
ease could ever forget to be in love with
this precious thing called existence. But it
happens.
You get better, your hair grows back
and you put your toes once more into the
stream of life. If you’re not really strong
on your feet, however, you soon find
yourself swiftly sucked along by the same
old current of worry, fear and pettiness
that defined your existence prior to your
tumour. I think it’s called human nature.
I wish it were human nature for all of
us to awaken to each day thrilled with
its possibilities and delights, eager and
excited to embrace the joy awaiting us.
But it is not. At least not in my neck of
the woods. Instead, most of us need a
reminder.
There may have been a time, in our
rural past, when we awakened and
walked outside to be greeted by the glory
of nature. The beauty of the fields, flow-
ers, woods and sky loudly proclaimed
how precious the day was. But most of
us have a difficult time finding enlight-
enment in the glow of the TV or the
dashboard lights or the clock alarm LED
blinking 5 a.m. Hence, the bracelet.
You may not want to be a bracelet guy.
I’d understand if you didn’t. There are
only so many Tiffany’s and Chantal’s to go
round, after all. Still, I hope you can find
something, somewhere that will spark
you to reset your compass every morning.
It’s made all the difference in the world to
me. And it’s cheaper than cologne.

Catholic school board will have to tighten its belt
By Josie Newman
jnewman@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Despite cutbacks in almost
every department, the Durham Catholic
District School Board will have an operat-
ing shortfall of $6.3 million for the 2008/2009
school year.
“That’s better news than we expected,
though, as our predicted shortfall was $8.4 mil-
lion. We’re going to have to tighten our belts
on expenditures,” superintendent of business
Ryan Putnam told the DCDSB meeting on
Monday.
He explained that a reserve fund of only $1.3
million is not enough to meet the need for $4.8
million to balance the upcoming school year’s
budget.
Declining enrolment -- expected to be 600
fewer elementary and 250 fewer secondary
students in 08/09 -- represents another $2.8
million loss for a total of $6.3 million, said Mr.
Putnam.
“We’re going to see a steady decline in en-
rolment over the next few years, probably not
as drastic as this year’s will be,” he told trustees
and superintendents.
“That means further debt to the tune of
around $2 million per year. For every student
we lose, we pay one third the cost.”
Mr. Putnam explained the conflict between
enrolment numbers and financing from the
ministry of education is a systemic problem.
“We’re still staffed beyond ministry allow-
ance. We’re still operating as a 25,000 pupil
board,” he said.

A night to look at the heavens in Pickering
Recently, a parent brought me a sample of an essay she had written when she
was in Grade 8. We compared it to the work of her Grade 8 son. The difference
was astounding! Her essay contained no spelling or grammatical mistakes and
was well organized with its ideas clearly presented. Her son’s project wandered.
It suffered from spelling, grammatical, and organizational mistakes. It was inter-
woven with passages which he had obviously copied from a textbook. Thirty years
had passed since this mother had been in Grade 8. What had happened?
The answer can be found not only in whole-language reading programs which
do not teach grammar or structure, but also with programs that encourage cre-
ative spelling and free-form writing without editing or correcting mistakes. These
disastrous mistakes have produced students who do not know the difference be-
tween a noun and a verb and who cannot write or think clearly.
Those of us over 40 years of age remember ‘English Grammar’ class-
es with varying degrees of satisfaction or fear and loathing; however, not
only did we learn the parts of speech, but during those classes we also
learned to write and think. Our thoughts had to be expressed clearly. It
was unacceptable merely to fi ll a page with writing and hand it in. Our
teachers demanded excellence! We had to try our hardest. The result of
those old programs was that we learned to express ourselves in writing.
This clarifi ed our thinking and improved our comprehension. This taught
us to think, to integrate, to understand and to explain.
I don’t want you to think that I completely endorse those old grammar
classes. In fact, I think that they were not an overly effective method of
teaching writing skills. Teaching writing should be an integral part of ev-
ery subject not simply reserved for a ‘Grammar Class’. Students should
spend time writing in history, geography and science classes. Even math
class is an opportunity for students to write!
When a student can
explain in writing what
the math teacher is try-
ing to teach, you can
be sure that the student
understands the prin-
ciple. Writing is more
important than memo-
rizing formulas or equa-
tions! When a student
is capable of clearly
explaining a concept
in writing, that student
has demonstrated that
he/she understands
the concept and, con-
sequently, will not have
to memorize it. For ex-
ample, in history class,
if we crammed less
‘stuff’ into our students’
heads, such as dates,
times, and names, and asked them instead to understand, integrate and explain
the process, we would have well-grounded students who actually understood
what they were learning.
And there is a bonus! In addition to better educated students, we would have
motivated and happier students who could see some relationship between what
they are studying and the world they are living in. That’s real motivation!
Oxford Learning Centres help students learn to think and write more clearly
so they can be happier and more successful in school. Call your local Oxford in
Pickering 420-3141, Ajax 420-3141 or visit www.oxfordlearning.com to learn how
a personalized Oxford Learning program can help your child become a more mo-
tivated and successful student.

BY BEVERLY BROWNE
Cultural diversity is alive and well in Durham Region. More than 15
ethnicities are identifi ed through various cultural groups in Oshawa, the
largest Durham community.
What isn’t clear, however, is a complete history of some groups.
While the Germans, Hungarians, Italians and Polish were among the
fi rst ethnic groups in Oshawa, and were among the fi rst to establish
social clubs and churches, it has been generally thought that the fi rst
Black Canadian families in Durham arrived considerably later -
perhaps not before the mid-1960s.
But in fact, there’s a history of Blacks having a connection to Durham
that goes back much earlier, through land inherited by two former
slaves from the Ontario Solicitor-General Robert Isaac Gray. Over time,
those lands have been transferred repeatedly, and today they house
residences, retailers and commerce, with a possible value of billions
of dollars. City of Oshawa information cites that in January 2005 the
assessed value of an average subdivision lot without a house was
$65,000. For a house requiring 5,000 sq.ft. of land, one acre would
accommodate about nine subdivision lots.
Historical records show that in 1803, 10 years after slavery was
offi cially abolished in Canada, Mr. Gray gave to the sons of his slave
Dorinda Baker, two parcels of land, each being 200 acres. That was a
generous act on the part of the Solicitor-General, because his peers at
the time were more concerned about willing their slaves and servants to
the ownership of family members, rather than freeing them.
Mr. Gray’s compassion meant that Simon Baker and John Baker, two
sons of his faithful slave Dorinda, would not only gain their freedom,
but were assured some wealth, since his will stated, “I give and devise
(Simon and John) and (their) heirs forever, that is to say…….”
The will, dated 27 August, 1803, was made 14 months before the
accidental death of Mr. Gray and Simon, the elder brother. The will was
registered in the City of Toronto, a copy of which is stored on microfi lm
at the Whitby Land Registry offi ce.
The 200-acre parcel of land willed to Simon, was Lot 11, First
Concession, Whitby. John’s 200-acre parcel was, Lot 17, Second
Concession. With the division of Whitby Township in 1857, both
parcels ended up in Oshawa.
Simon was Mr. Gray’s personal valet. Sadly, not long after the will
was made, both Simon and Mr. Gray died in a shipping accident near
Presqu’ile Point on the schooner HMS Speedy. Records indicate that
their demise was around October 8 or 9, 1804.
Not only did Dorinda’s family become free, they should have been
comfortable, if not relatively prosperous. Besides the land willed to
Simon and John, they also each received 50 pounds. Dorinda received
1200 pounds, enough, for the entire family to live off the interest. There
were also other items willed to the family. Mr. Gray wanted to recognize
the valuable service his family had received, hence his provisions for
Dorinda and her children.
Simon’s lot in First Concession is the area close to downtown Oshawa,
within the boundary of Simcoe St. and the Oshawa Creek, John and
Bloor streets. Whitby archivist Brian Winter explains that in those days a
concession was all the land, not just a road.
Lot 17, Second Concession, on the other hand, is the area between
Hwy. 2 north to Rossland Rd. from Thornton Rd. west to just east of
Garrard St., almost to the Whitby border.
Mr. Winter further clarifi es that with the division of the Township in
1857, Lots 1-17 became Oshawa, and Lots 18-35 became Whitby.
Anyone familiar with the area knows that both subject lots willed by
Mr. Gray are now occupied by an assortment of residences, retail and
commercial buildings. Second Concession is home to a plaza with a
Scotiabank branch, gas station and offi ces, and includes the entrance to
Mount Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery, located on Hwy. 2.
John Baker, who received the 200 acres near the Oshawa-Whitby
border, lived until 1871, well into his 90s. According to the book
‘Slavery and Freedom in Niagara’, he was the last of those who had
been born into slavery in Upper Canada.

Pay Uxbridge couple for well damage, committee recommends
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — An Uxbridge couple should re-
ceive $4,800 after their well was contaminated
during development in the area, said the Re-
gion’s works committee.
Cathy and Steve Murray live on Cemetery
Road in the town of Uxbridge, near Toronto
Street. They say that in late 2006, when road
work bringing services for a new subdivision
began, their water level dropped, sediment
build-up damaged their pump and the water
was consistently contaminated by bacteria. De-
spite bleaching the well regularly and replacing
the pump, the water continues to be contami-
nated by bacteria.
“That’s our unfortunate circumstance that
we live on this road and a new subdivision was
coming past our home,” Ms. Murray told the
committee.
Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of
works, recommended the couple be compen-
sated $3,000 for costs, including a new pump,
incurred before a hookup to municipal water
was available.
Under the Region’s well-interference policy,
connection and frontage fees to hook up to mu-
nicipal water would be waived, but the Murrays
would be responsible for work on private prop-
erty. However, the Murrays said they couldn’t
afford the $4,800 the work would cost.
Several councillors expressed sympathy for
the Murrays and the committee passed a mo-
tion to pay them $4,800, $1,800 more than was
recommended by Mr. Curtis.
“I put myself in that same situation where I
don’t have $5,000 in my bank account,” said Ajax
Councillor Scott Crawford.
Oshawa Coun. Nester Pidwerbecki was the
only one to oppose the motion. He said many
others, including a group of homeowners on
Hancock Road in Courtice, would demand simi-
lar compensation.
“If it’s good for these people, it’s going to be
good for everyone else,” he said.
Several councillors argued it didn’t set a prec-
edent because it was a settlement for the incon-
venience endured by the family, not the Region
agreeing to pay for the private property work.
“What they do with that lump sum of money
is at their discretion,” said Clarington Coun.
Charlie Trim.
But Coun. Pidwerbecki disagreed.
“The reality is we’re paying for the private
property hookup, you can word this any way you
want,” he said.
Coun. Crawford also suggested re-examin-
ing the Region’s 20-year-old well-interference
policy, he’d like to see the developer picking up
the cost in similar situations.
“I’ve already made a note to look into that
because I can see where this is going,” said Mr.
Curtis.
Burn barrels a pain in the lungs for residents calling for tougher laws
By Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — As debate heats up over a pro-
posed incinerator in Clarington, a handful of
local residents are taking up a crusade against
a different source of “lung landfill.”
Dave Bulmer lived in Ajax for decades, and
decided to move out to rural Tyrone about five
years ago to get away from urban air pollution.
But fresh country air was nowhere to be
found.
“We’ve got people burning garbage, we’ve
got huge campfires and bonfires, people use
those chimineas, it’s so much smoke,” he says.
“I’m worse off here than I was in Ajax, now I use
inhalers.”
He says there is the perception that if you
live in the country, on a large property, it’s OK
to burn anything, any time. His complaints to
neighbours have ostracized him, and now he
worries he’ll have to move again.
“I’ve become a pariah in my community
because I complain about it, but this is like
cigarette smoking. At one point it was accept-
able but now we’re learning about the health
risks.”
On the other side of the region, Pickering
environmentalist John Newell is also taking up
the fight.
He is amazed that people are easily turned
off by the prospect of burning garbage in an in-
cinerator, but seem indifferent to “barrel burn-
ing” the practice of burning household garbage
and other materials in 55-gallon steel drums.
“I don’t think people get up in the morning
and say “I’m going to poison people.’ They just
think they’re getting rid of their garbage,” he
says.
He is urging municipalities to introduce more
aggressive bylaws combined with public edu-
cation to make people aware of the potential
danger to themselves and their neighbours.
It’s a move north Oshawa resident Lawrence
Hamer, would welcome.
As of late, he has been devoting his attention
to fighting the proposed Clarington incinera-
tor, but says burn barrels will become his next
crusade -- one he hopes other environmentally
conscious residents will join.
According to 2004 statistics from Environ-
ment Canada, roughly one in four Ontarians
use burn barrels on a regular basis at their
home or cottage. Those numbers haven’t been
updated in recent years.
Many American communities have moved
to ban open air burns completely and in Au-
gust 2007, Loyalist Township in Ontario be-
came one of the first in the province to follow
suit.

Pickering Special Olympian
glides to national Winter Games
Lindsey Smith part
of Ontario team
at Quebec City event
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Don’t bother
telling Special Olympian Lindsey
Smith she can’t do something.
If you do, the 32-year-old
Pickering resident will end up
proving you wrong every time.
That was certainly the case with
her introduction to figure skating,
relates her father, David.
“The worst thing you can say to
Lindsey is ‘I don’t think you can
do that’,” says her father. “She will
prove you wrong; she’s not afraid
to try anything.
“She was asked by her coach if
she wanted to try figure skating.
She didn’t do too great for the first
couple of years, but she wouldn’t
give up.”
Now, Lindsey, five years after
joining up for figure skating with
the Ajax Rising Stars, has become
more than proficient as a figure
skater. Next month, she’ll make
her way to Quebec City for the
Special Olympics Canada Winter
Games in Quebec City, Feb. 26 to
March 1.
As it’s her first time at Canadi-
ans, she’s looking forward to per-
forming her free skate routine on
a national stage. She’s practising
three times a week with the Rising
Stars in preparation for Quebec
City.
“Yes, I think I’m ready for na-
tionals,” she declares.
And, she doesn’t want to stop
there. Lindsey’s ultimate goal is to
earn a spot on the Canadian team
that will travel to the World Win-
ter Games for the Special Olym-
pics in Boise, Idaho in 2009.
“My goal is to practise very
hard and hopefully to qualify (for
worlds),” says Lindsey.
Figure skating with the Ajax
Rising Stars is her favourite ath-
letic endeavour, although she also
enjoys bowling, swimming and
track and field through Durham
West Special Sports, of which
she’s been a member for 16 years.
She also enjoys the social aspects
of skating, along with helping
her teammates. In addition to
Lindsey, three other Rising Stars
-- Ashley May, Niki Mitchell and
Crystal Greig -- will also represent
Ontario at the National Winter
Games.
“I like getting out, but I mostly
enjoy the competition,” explains
Lindsey. “I also like to help my
friends there any way I can. I just
like to have a good time.”
Lindsey qualified for nationals
after a solid free skate routine at
the Provincial Winter Games in
Owen Sound last March. There,
her compulsory and free skate
routines culminated in a well-de-
served silver medal.
She and her parents, David and
Heather, are grateful for the sup-
port she receives from her em-
ployer, Sure-Fit of Ajax, which has
underwritten her trip to compete
at the Winter Games.
“They’re so nice, and so good to
her. It’s amazing,” says her moth-
er, Heather. “The owner, Stephen
Barry, is a wonderful man.”
Lindsey’s attended one meet
with the Ajax Rising Stars this
season, travelling to Alliston in
December where she earned a
silver medal in free skate.

Provincial ‘AA’
squad earns
third tournament
title of season
DURHAM — The Car-
roll Home Improvements
Ajax/Pickering Provincial
petite ‘AA’ ringette team is
making a habit of earning
tournament hardware.
Competing at the annual
Whitby Ringette Tourna-
ment recently, the petites
collected their third gold
medal of the season after

ship, winning five con-
secutive games to earn the
title.
The Ajax/Pickering pe-
tites have also captured a
silver medal this year. And,
in regular-season play, the
team remains undefeated.
The petites met hosts
Whitby in the final, win-
ning 5-3. Ajax/Pickering
scored twice in the final
period to record the cham-
pionship after the game
was tied 3-3 at the end of
the first period.
Sami Pontone impressed
with her outstanding goal-
tending and received
the most valuable player
award for the champion-
ship final.
The ‘AA’ petites started
with a 6-2 victory over
Whitby. In an exciting
back-and-forth contest
against Gloucester from
the Ottawa area, the lo-
cals eked out a 5-4 victory.
In Game 3, Ajax/Pickering
edged Dorchester 5-4.
The petites finished first
overall in the tournament
after posting a 4-1 win
over West Ferris, which
put Ajax/Pickering in the
final.
The team received
strong defensive work from
Mikhaela Slavin, Lindsay
Wallis, Dana Holstead-
Young and Alexa Battler
throughout the tourna-
ment.
Forwards Amy But-
ler, Taylor Coulter, Emily
Forbes, Chantal Gauthier,
Serena Gucciardi, Lauren
McClenaghan, Nakisha
Slavin and Laura Sumner
all contributed solid play
to the gold-medal victory.
Laurence Slavin coaches
the team, assisted by Paul
Battler, Paul Gauthier and
Katie Painter. Bruce Dart is
the goalie goal. The trainer
is Deb Battler and the man-
ager is Denise Pontone.

Durham Windows
and Doors Brings
Mobile Showroom
To Your Door
Wayne Hutchison brings to the
replacement window and door business
a new and long overdue feature. It’s a
Mobile Showroom which just may be
the only one in Canada.
“The day is gone when you carried
some brochures and a sample window
to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne.
“So I obtained a retired North York
Mobile Library truck and installed
interior walls along with all of my
window samples.”
When you call Durham Windows
and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne
will show up at your door with his
Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter
by way of a sliding patio door.
Inside, displayed on the walls,
are the Vinyl Window Designs series
of vinyl windows which you’re free to
operate and you’ll discover the many
special features including how they
can be cleaned without going outside.
“After being in this business for
26 years, I can honestly say these are
the finest windows on the market,”
says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed
to reduce air leakage and come with
heavy duty hardware.”
All Vinyl Window Designs
windows come with Low E Glass
which filters out the ultraviolet rays
keeping your home cooler in the
summer and eliminate fading of your
curtains, drapes and furniture.
All of the windows come with
a lifetime warranty on the frame,
hardware and glass.
Wayne would also like his
customers to know that he does all of
the estimates personally, eliminating
the cost of a salesperson.
Durham Windows and Doors also
does all of its own installations, which
ensures that every customer gets a high
quality job done at the best possible
price.
Durham Windows and Doors is
located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa.
