The vice principal of Holy Redeemer Cath- olic School in Pickering thought his car was safe from damage yesterday after leaving school until he stopped for gas in Ajax and saw about 100 pock marks on his precious 1993 Mazda RX-7’s hood and sun roof. “I was shocked,” he said, adding he’s wait- ing to hear how much he’ll spend to get it fixed. Although the car is completely original, it will require a new paint job, the hood will most likely have to be replaced and the sun roof “is not cheap to replace. “It’s only got 94,000 (kilometres) on it and it never saw a winter - until yesterday,” he said But, he was happy to report none of the students was injured from the storm. “Fortunately, we got our children on the buses just before the storm hit,” he said. Only four children were not on a bus, but Mr. Dufresne said a teacher waited with them until they were picked up. Pickering resident Rob Burling spent Tuesday cleaning the flowers, leaves, pine cones and twigs from his yard. He managed to save a lot of his flowers because a neigh- bour called from Scarborough, warning of the oncoming storm, and Mr. Burling put them under the table in the backyard and brought others inside. “We just had all the flowers put out,” he said. “We were just start- ing to enjoy it, then boom.” The hail took paint off the Burling family’s window frames, put a hole in the roof, and broke the bar glasses hanging outside. He may avoid raking the leaves from the garden because he could rake up the mulch. But, he estimated the clean-up would take him an entire workday. “It looks like a mini tornado went through,” he said, adding he’ll also spend some time cleaning the eavestroughs. “It was just like pounding... knocking, knocking... so loud!” said Marianna Reitsma. The noise was a lot louder than heavy rain and she looked outside to see the yard being covered in marble-size hail. “When I looked outside it was just white.” Flower beds were shredded and trees were battered by the hail at her home on Malden Crescent in the Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue area of Pickering shortly after 3:30 p.m. Monday. “It lasted for four or five minutes,” Ms. Reitsma said in describing how she grabbed her camera and began taking pictures. Flowers were beaten down to their stalks and the grass completely covered in opaque pieces of ice. It took more than two and a half hours before the bulk of it melted away. “It was like wintertime,” she said as she recounted how her sun deck turned white and the hail continued to fall. It was part of a severe thunderstorm that swept through Durham Region between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. City of Pickering staff was still cleaning up after the mess on Tuesday morning. “I think we came out fairly lucky as far as damage is concerned,” said John Hannah, superintendent of municipal operations.

We were just starting to enjoy it, then boom.’ -- ROB BURLING Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is so keen to raise funds for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP) hospital campus, he started practicing for an annual golf fundraiser at the busy construction site recently. The Mayors’ Charity Golf Classic, on Sept. 9 at Deer Creek Golf & Country Club, raises funds for current and future hospital needs at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering. The construction site, where the mayor was practicing, was safely sectioned off by event lead sponsor Aecon Buildings. The charity classic will raise funds for medical equipment needs to accommodate the 140,000 square feet of new or renovated space currently under construction at RVAP and slated for completion in 2010. The major construction project, the largest in the hospital’s history, will build a renewed emergency department and related services. In addition to expanding RVAP’s 24/7/365 emergency department, space for diagnostic imaging and laboratory services will be expanded, while services such as obstetrics and paediatrics will continue to serve residents of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Joining Mayor Ryan for the promotional golfi ng, were, from left: Registered Nurse Kim Wadsworth; Aecon Construction Manager Dan Edsall and Dr. Gary Mann, Interim Site Chief of Emergency.

Getting on the green for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 18, 2008 An “awful lot of leaves”, broken limbs and partial trees fell and staff began cleaning that up last night, Mr. Hannah said. No permanent damage to the flower beds or anything the City planted was found. “A lot of rain, a lot of short flooding because of leaves and debris and things blocking the catch basins,” he said. “We brought a street sweeper in early this morning (Tuesday) to clean up some of the debris that was on the streets and we’re still out assessing and doing clean up.” As far as the dollar value, Mr. Hannah said it’s mostly labour-related. Hail at this time of year isn’t uncommon, said Peter Kimbell, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada. The odd part is that it “happened over a populated area. Statistically, it doesn’t happen over populated areas,” Mr. Kimbell said. Cooler air higher in the atmosphere com- bined with warm surface temperature and an updraft caused by thunderstorms contributed to the hail, Mr. Kimbell said. “There was unstable air mass everywhere in Ontario,” Mr. Kimbell said. “There was significant hail of a significant size,” he said, noting some were golf ball and baseball sized. “It’s significant hail, no doubt about it.” Some Pickering car dealerships are report- ing damage as well. Amanda Moore, a service administrator at Pickering Toyota at Whites Road and Hwy. 2, said on Tuesday morning she’d already taken 15 to 20 calls about damage. “Our body shop has been swamped today with phone calls and people coming in about it,” she said. Damage include dents and smashed mir- rors and tail lights. As well, all the cars on the lot were damaged. “Everything is on hold until our insurance looks at it,” said Ms. Moore. Nearby Boyer Pontiac at Whites Road and Hwy. 2, however, reported only minimal dam- age to a few cars on its lot, said service adviser Frank Deceaser. “There might be a couple out there, but nothing too crazy,” he said. Aside from three or four trees that were damaged by the Sunday and Monday storms, there was no damage in Ajax, said Steve Brake of the Operations department. “There was nothing related to flooding,” Mr. Brake said. “There was no flooding, which is a real sur- prise.” Hail is caused when an updraft of air caused by a thunderstorm moves up quickly, Mr. Kim- bell said. When rain begins to fall, it’s ice crys- tals. The crystals hit other crystals and start to form hail. The updraft “keeps pushing it up,” Mr. Kimbell said, and the same cycle occurs.

It was not dangerous, we do know that.” Two City clerks were opening parking tickets at about noon Monday when one of them noticed a white, powdery substance after pulling her hand out of an envelope that held three tickets. Deputy clerk Debbie Shields immediately sealed the envelope. “It was sealed pretty quickly and everybody washed their hands,” she said. The two clerks and Ms. Shields were in quarantine for about seven hours. It was more boring than any- thing, Ms. Shields said. But, Mayor Dave Ryan and the head of the City’s health and safety department kept them company. “We were all pretty calm,” Ms. Shields said. “We knew they were handling it. We had no reactions (to the substance).” City Hall was evacuated at about 1:30 p.m. Although “a big chunk” of staff was sent home, de- partment heads remained at the scene as per Picker- ing’s emergency manage- ment procedure protocol. The majority of remaining staff stayed in the library. “I made the decision to basically close down City Hall for everybody’s safety - ours and the public’s,” Mr. Quinn said. At about 4 p.m., Team 1-Environmental Services - on the scene to test the powder - said more so- phisticated equipment was needed to properly iden- tify the substance since the amount of powder was so small. Although the MOH lab was supposed to close at 4 p.m., Mr. Quinn said Durham Region’s medical officer of health, Dr. Rob- ert Kyle, made a call and the lab tested it. Otherwise, Mr. Quinn said, they would have had to wait overnight. “Something like this, there’s nothing you can do,” he said. “The hard thing is you have to wait it out.” The tickets will remain at the MOH lab in Toronto for 36 hours for further testing. The MOH deemed it not dangerous at about 8 p.m. Monday. Once the tickets are returned later this week, Mr. Quinn said the City will work with Durham Region- al Police to try and catch the culprit. “I think it was someone who was deliberately trying to do something to cause as much havoc as possible,” Mr. Quinn said. “If we do find them, we’ll also take them to civil court on some- thing like this. I will try to do everything that I can to regain the money that was lost today.” Direct and indirect costs could be anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000, Mr. Quinn guessed. Although it was a difficult day for him- self and staff, he said the police, Pickering fire servic- es, emergency medical ser- vices, the Durham Region Health department and staff worked well together in the situation. Mayor Ryan had similar feelings. “If there was one positive thing that came from yester- day’s circumstances, it was seeing first-hand the City’s emergency preparedness training being effectively utilized in a real-world sce- nario,” he said. “It has rein- forced the confidence that I have in staff’s ability to deal with any given situation.” If anyone has knowledge of the incident call 1-888- 579-1520, ext. 2530. Anon- ymous tipsters can call Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477) and can get up to $2,000 for useful informa- tion.

Gas prices pushing up costs By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Buoyed by a harsh winter and rising fuel costs, Durham Region is heading towards a small deficit of about $850,000 on a billion-dollar budget. As many had guessed, the Region is already over it’s $6.4 million winter main- tenance budget, which was to last until the end of De- cember. So far, Durham has spent $6.8 million on snow storms and icy roads, and finance staff are projecting a cost overrun of $2.1 mil- lion by the end of the year. However, that will depend on the weather in the latter part of the year. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp attributed the extra cost to the higher number of snow falls and storms this year. The snow budget is based on an average winter with 75 per cent of if allotted for January through April. “So obviously if you have an above average winter, it’s going to cost us,” he said, adding the winter budget covers the northern areas of the Region as well, which gets more snow. Savings in some depart- ments, such as social ser- vices which is projected to have a $750,000 surplus, have softened the blow re- ducing the overall projected deficit to $850,000. However, rising fuel pric- es are also driving up costs because the price at the pumps affects the Region’s entire fleet. “There’s millions of dol- lars for transit, works ve- hicles, EMS vehicles and police vehicles,” said Mr. Clapp. The Region estimates if fuel costs keep rising at current rates, the deficit in Durham Region Transit’s (DRT) fuel budget may ex- ceed $1.3 million. The cur- rent forecast is a fuel deficit of $650,000 to $950,000. With savings in other areas, DRT’s year-end defi- cit is projected to be be- tween $380,000 to $680,000 That’s assuming a 30-to- 35-per cent price increase over last year and Mr. Clapp said that may still not be enough. At this week’s finance committee meeting, Osha- wa Councillor John Henry wanted to know if council should be taking action. “Should we as a group have a serious look at this year’s budget to know what the shortfalls would be and what we should do to cost correct it,” he asked. Finance staff would spend the summer gather- ing information and analyz- ing what needs to be done, Mr. Clapp said. “My crystal ball probably isn’t any better than yours, but we’re going to try and plot what the costs will be around the whole energy sector,” he said. The Region has run defi- cits in the past, only to have the situation corrected by the end of the year with cuts in spending.

Rain this past Sunday evening forced the post- ponement of the fireworks display, the traditional end- ing of the Home Week fes- tivities. The fireworks will now be held on Sunday, June 22, starting at dusk. Also, the waterfront festi- val music event is also being held on June 22, starting at 7 p.m. at Lion’s Point, on the waterfront. The fireworks is very popular and there’s limited parking near the waterfront, so free shuttle-bus service is provided. There are two buses in service, between 8 and 11 p.m. One bus leaves from the McLean Community Cen- tre, stopping at the Ajax GO station and the Discovery Bay Plaza. The second bus leaves from the Durham Centre, stopping at the Harwood Shopping Centre (near Shoppers Drug Mart), the Ajax Community Centre, the Clover Ridge Plaza and the Discovery Bay Plaza. Shuttles will run every 30 minutes. After the fireworks, enough buses will be avail- able to get everyone back to their vehicles in one trip. Rain dampens fireworks plan Darlington gets the nod By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — The an- nouncement that the OPG- owned land next to the ex- isting Darlington nuclear plant is the preferred site for new reactors strengthens Durham’s position as the en- ergy capital of Ontario, says Clarington’s mayor. Monday morning, the Province announced both the preferred operator -- On- tario Power Generation -- and the preferred site -- next to Darlington -- for two new nuclear reactors. “Obviously, I’m very excit- ed about it,” said Mayor Jim Abernethy. “It means great things for our municipality but not just our municipal- ity. It means great things for all of Durham Region and helps reinforce the Region’s position as Ontario’s energy capital.” It’s a welcome announce- ment for a region which has had a spate of bad news on the employment front over recent weeks, particularly in terms of GM’s decision to close the Oshawa truck plant. The Province antici- pates about 3,500 direct con- struction and engineering jobs during the construction phase, expected to run from 2012 to 2018. “With the OPG announce- ment, job creation should be phenomenal for the next few years,” said Sheila Hall, Clarington’s newly-minted economic development offi- cer. The announcement also helps Clarington council’s goal of increasing the indus- trial/commercial side of the tax base so that residential taxpayers aren’t paying such a large share. Though construction isn’t slated to begin for four years, there will be more immedi- ate spin-off for the economy, Mayor Abernethy said. “Once they determine the vendor, a lot of secondary and support vendors will lo- cate in the area,” he said. The news should also spur Clarington’s proposed ener- gy park, located between the existing Darlington site and the Region’s new water pol- lution control plant at Cour- tice Road south of Hwy. 401, the mayor said. “We can’t keep growing only on the residential side,” Mayor Abernethy said, not- ing the jobs which would come with suppliers and as a result of both the new reac- tors and other growth should help with the current 91-9 split in the tax base between residential and industrial commercial. “These are highly skilled jobs we’re looking at and the spin-off from that is that it will generate a lot of service jobs,” the mayor said. All along, OPG “thought we were in a good position,” said Pierre Charlebois, the company’s executive vice- president and chief operat- ing officer. Monday’s announcement marked the move to Phase 2 of the Province’s request for proposals on the multi-bil- lion dollar project. Now that Darlington has the nod as the preferred site, the Province will begin the work to deter- mine technology. It’s down to three suppliers: Areva, Atomic Energy of Canada. and Westinghouse Electric Company. Technology and supplier are expected to be named by the end of this year. That’s likely to mean construction will begin in 2012. There’s still much work to be done, Mr. Charlebois said. The Environmental As- sessment process currently underway is “at least two- and-a-half years from being completed,” he said. Community support has been key to Clarington get- ting the nod for the new re- actors, the mayor said. “Many groups in the com- munity and across Durham Region have to get some credit for taking the time, making the effort, to support our community and make the premier and the minister of energy aware that there is support in the community for this industry,” Mayor Ab- ernethy said. It’s been a combined ef- fort, Mr. Charlebois said. “We’re very thankful for the support we’ve received in Durham, and clearly, I’m also thankful for what the (Darlington) employees have done” to ensure the plant has run safely for years, he said Tuesday. “They’ve done good work and today is a good day for us.” -- See our editorial on page 6 DURHAM REGION www.durhamtourism.ca 1-800-413-0017 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 18, 2008 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com Province names Clarington as preferred site for new reactors ‘With the OPG announcement, job creation should be phenomenal for the next few years.’ -- SHEILA HALL Online Poll Vote @ newsdurhamregion.com We think... e-mail responses to mjohnston@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER 130 Commercial Ave., Ajax ON L1S 2H5 newsdurhamregion.com newsroom@durhamregion.com The News Advertiser is a Metroland Media Group newspaper.

This time they obviously could not find anywhere suitable in Europe to visit so they have decided to head out east for some sea air and a quick look at more garbage disposal methods. Do these usual suspects learn anything worthwhile? Why do we keep pay- rolling them? Obviously this band of happy wan- derers doesn’t realize that rubbish is produced all year round as they never go in the winter! Not this crew - it has to be a nice summer break at our expense. Why go at all, since the chair- man dictated to the people of Claring- ton that they’re getting an incinerator and stabilized landfill is not an option but councillors should see one anyway. Presumably Nova Scotia is nice this time of year. If some NASA genius comes up with a way of disposing of our garbage in outer space, the chairman and his entourage will need to go and approve the site first......in the summer of course! I would happily help pay for that. John Haste Ajax Soldier appreciated respect shown on Highway of Heroes To the editor: I am a member of the Canadian Forc- es.

Lieutenant Andrew Hennessy CFB Petawawa Incineration will cost us in the end To the editor: The business case report projects the illusion incineration is financially attrac- tive. Obviously, any project can be made to appear viable if sufficient factors are not considered. Durham Region just added another trick to its arsenal of dirty tricks: divert badly needed revenues from the gas tax refunds, promoting the illusion that the project is economically viable when, in fact, it is not. This refund was meant for social needs that had been deemed unaffordable until now. The current “creative financing” will unavoidably result in postpone- ments, cancellations or higher fees for truly legitimate programs. People have to realize that they will pay for the incineration folly not only with their health, but also in ways yet to be appreciated. We are dangerously fooling ourselves if we believe incineration will cost us noth- ing.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 18, 2008P New nukes welcome here Decision to build at Darlington sensible A mid all the grim economic news locally over the past two weeks comes a glimmer of sunshine as the Province announced Monday two new nuclear reactors would be built here in Durham. While the decision doesn’t wipe out the economic hit the Region will take when General Motors closes its truck plant in 2009, putting thousands out of work, it does ameliorate the pain some- what. The decision to build in Darlington means that, between 2012 and 2018, about 3,500 direct construction and engineering jobs will be created. Once the two reactors begin running about a decade from now, hundreds more high- paid workers will be needed to operate and maintain them over the long term. Such an investment -- the Province estimates the cost to build at between $8 billion and $15 billion -- will have a huge impact on Durham for decades to come. It will solidify and strengthen already very strong programs in nuclear tech- nology and engineering offered at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. And the move to build in Darlington, combined with Ontario Power Generation’s opera- tions in Pickering, puts a firm stamp on Durham as Ontario’s energy centre. With OPG establishing itself as Dur- ham’s largest single employer, young people planning careers can look to the energy giant as a realistic target for future employment. And that’s a great benefit to us all. With its location in Ontario’s largest population centre and its prime lake- front position, along with the expertise already onsite, Darlington was clearly the frontrunner to receive the new reac- tors. The Province could have chosen to locate them in the more remote Bruce Peninsula. But the choice that would best benefit taxpayers and energy users across Ontario was made by the Province and Darlington had the most advantages. While it may be coincidence that the choice to build in Durham comes short- ly after the GM announcement, it’s still very welcome news and a decision we can all appreciate.

Mr. Kiley said he’s always a careful shopper, but he feels bad for seniors and people with young families, whom he believes are harder hit by escalating prices. Compared to last year, the price of rice is up nine per cent, bread is up 17 per cent, flour and flour-based mixes are 38 per cent more expensive and pasta products cost 23 per cent more, according to Statistics Cana- da’s Consumer Price Index. The average price of a base case 675-gram loaf of bread was $2.06 in April 2007 and rose to $2.43 in April of this year. “In all these cases the reason behind the change is the global increase in the cost of commodities,” said David Wilkes, senior vice-president for the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors. He said the price of baking-grade wheat is up 128 per cent over a year ago and that there are several reasons for this, including a prolonged drought in Australia that has deci- mated the country’s wheat crop. Meanwhile, some rice-producing countries are keeping more of their product at home, stockpiling it. Dairy products are slightly more expensive as well, as are eggs, but meats are slightly less. So far the biggest relief for consumers is in the price of fresh vegetables, down 17 per cent, and the price of fresh fruit, down almost eight per cent, Statistics Canada reported. The one exception is corn, up roughly 60 per cent over last year, Mr. Wilkes said. He at- tributes the rise to the increasing use of corn for the production of ethanol. He said another silver lining is that Cana- dian consumers are paying less than their American counterparts once the dollar is harmonized. “Canadian consumers have really bene- fited from some fairly healthy competition within the grocery sector within the last five years,” Mr. Wilkes said, referring to Wal-Mart as an example. But consumers are still feeling frustrated, “Bread shouldn’t go up; it’s the bread of life,” said Ajax resident Dorothy Taylor, also after a recent grocery shopping trip. “I think it’s disgusting for bread to go up.” Fellow shopper Kay Reid blames gas pric- es. “Everything’s gone up because of the stink- ing gas. It’s bloody ridiculous and the govern- ment should step in and do something,” she said. Clarington farmer Paul Watson won’t argue that rising gas prices are driving price hikes. The owner of Watson Farms said he’s spending $1,000 per week on diesel for his tractors per week. The roughly $1.30 per litre he’s paying is up 50 cents from this time last year. The cost of fertilizer, which is petroleum based, has tripled in some cases, he said. As the minimum wage is steadily increased, Mr. Watson is also being hit by increasing labour costs. He grows strawberries, rasp- berries, apples, sweet corn, pumpkins, peas, beans and rhubarb, all of which are labour- intensive crops. “We’ve got to recover those increased ex- penses somehow, and the only way to recoup that is the price of the product has to go up,” he said. “We’re not in this for our health; we’re here to make money as well.” Mr. Watson is not sure just how much the price of the products he sells at four retail stands will go up. He said it becomes a huge dilemma for certain crops, such as straw- berries, where he’s competing directly with farmers from the United States, who don’t have increasing labour costs. “I can say what I’m going to charge, but what’s A&P going to charge? What’s Loblaws going to charge? What’s the neighbour down the street going to charge?” And what happens if he can’t charge enough to recoup costs? “The alternative is you quit. If we can’t get enough for our product, you quit.” GM gets its headquarters back By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — The 12-day blockade of Gen- eral Motors headquarters is over. Canadian Auto Workers employees left their station in front of the building at 6:40 a.m., 20 minutes before a court order from a judge said they were required to leave. The group was allowed to keep 20 people in front of the building and have an information picket. But the group chose not to because they didn’t want to follow all the rules that would be imposed on the picket, said union representative Jim Nimigon. “We’re going to make our own rules some- where else,” Mr. Nimigon said. Employees who work in the building have been unable to access the office since the protest started on June 4, with the exception of 23 payroll personnel. The crowd of protesters got into their cars and drove to the car plant parking lot as part of a “parade” as Mr. Nimigon called it. There were about 50 vehicles involved in the motorcade. After the group arrived at the truck plant parking lot CAW Local 222 president Chris Buckley and plant chairman Keith Osborne left for Toronto to get legal advice about their case with the Ontario Labour Relations Board. Mr. Nimigon said the group believes they have a very strong case against GM. He said the union’s next step would be “a little more drastic.” Headquarters employees headed back into work as the protest left. Tony LaRocca, spokesman for GM, said it was not easy to run the operation without the building but management did its best to continue business. He said the corporation wants to take things one day at a time and is trying to focus on what they can constructively do for affected employees. --with files from Stefanie Swinson Move over 289 There may be a new area code coming to town DURHAM — The 905 may be getting a new area code. Not 289, which many in Durham may have become familiar with over the last couple years. Area Code 289 started being used in 2001 and the number combinations starting with the code are going fast. “There are so many 289 numbers being assigned, we’re getting ready to add anoth- er,” said Glen Pilley, spokesman for the Ca- nadian Numbering Administration, which handles the assigning process for new area codes. The three digits of a phone number that follow the area code are referred to as the central office code. For every area code there are 750 central office codes that can be used. The 905/289 region is going through numbers quickly because it is such a large area and there is constant growth in the cellphone business, said Mr. Pilley. Adding a new area code is a four- to five- year process, Mr. Pilley said. The process is likely to begin this fall, he said.

MY CHILD’S PRO JECT IS DUE! Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and consistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s t i l l m a t t e r s MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal , whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importanc e f or you and your children. Leadersh i p in edu catio n What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives.

Staff working on Fairport speeding solutions Executive commit- tee impressed with group’s work By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The residents of Fairport Road just want to live on a street everyone can enjoy. The Fairport Road Citizens for Traffic Calming has met al- most weekly since January to find appropriate traffic calming measures to help ease excessive speeding on the street. Group member Sarah Whittaker made a presentation to Pickering council’s executive commit- tee on Monday, explaining the goal is to transform the road from a straightaway to a safe community thoroughfare, and to reduce the speed within six kilometres of the limit (40 ki- lometres per hour) between Sheppard and Finch Avenues. Installing traffic calming measures will reduce speed, noise and emissions, and cre- ate a healthier and more social environment since residents will be more willing to walk and ride bikes with fewer speeding cars, Ms. Whittaker said. The group sat on the street for a couple of hours one night and found of 340 passing cars, 93 per cent went 15-to-25 ki- lometres over the limit, two buses travelled more than 20 kilometres over the limit, and four cars sped at more than 90 km/h. “The top speed was recorded at 99 kilometres per hour,” Ms. Whittaker said. “We wish we could have gotten that licence plate.” Gayle Clow, another Fairport group member, presented the ideal measures: roundabouts; raised medians, intersections and crosswalks; visual distrac- tions, such as street painting or signs; and shared roadway lines so bikes and cars can share the street. “Motorists should become aware our road is not just a place to drive,” she said. The group expects the im- provements will cost about $250,000, including inflation and unknown costs. “That’s an excellent piece of work that’s been done,” Mayor Dave Ryan said, adding the public should probably have to be consulted again. He said staff is already working to get some measures in place, which is “largely due to this commit- tee.” The only criticism Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son had is there may be too many areas in which these traf- fic measures will go (more than 10). The median is a concern to Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, but Ms. Clow said it’ll be short. He also said others are concerned their neighbour- hoods should get speeding at- tention too. Ms. Clow said the group would be happy to help. Community activist Mau- rice Brenner helped organize and mobilize the group, and provided them with resources and tools. He said he’s excited Pickering residents realize they can influence important deci- sions that are made, and more work is to come. The staff report will come to council in October.

As part of the Durham Catholic District School Board’s accommodation re- view process, trustees gave the go ahead to noon-hour busing for kindergarten kids throughout the system, as well as a full-day kindergar- ten pilot program at Monsi- gnor Philip Coffey Catholic School in Oshawa. The kindergarten pro- gram enhancements came out of the same process which has five Oshawa schools closing this Sep- tember. “The issue of school clo- sures is very emotional,” said Paul Pulla, the board’s director of education. Parents need to see the program improvements coming out of the accom- modation review and they’re trying to do that for all of the closed schools, he said. Noon-hour busing pro- vides added value across the region, Mr. Pulla said. Currently, kindergarten stu- dents are bused to school in the mornings. Students attending afternoon kinder- garten get a bus home. “If you’re a working par- ent it makes it very difficult to arrange that,” Mr. Pulla said. The subject of noon-hour busing came up repeatedly during the accommoda- tion review process and on an annual basis as well, so when the opportunity came to recommend enhance- ments, that was at the fore- front, Mr. Pulla said. “We have a handful of schools that have full-day every other day so they’re not affected,” Mr. Pulla said, but the majority of schools have half-day programs. The full-day, every day, kindergarten pilot program at Monsignor Coffey is also based on the needs of the community and in response to the Province’s plans. The Ministry of Educa- tion commissioned a study to determine the impacts of full-day kindergarten with its results expected by Feb- ruary 2009, according to a report on the accommoda- tion review by Mr. Pulla. It also indicated the pro- gramming and funding for it would be available by September 2010. Although the additional busing comes with a price tag of about $500,000 the board won’t be funded for, the extra cost is only an- ticipated until the Province moves to full-day kinder- garten. The same applies to the $35,000-to-$70,000 annual cost for the pilot program at Monsignor Philip Coffey Catholic School. “My expectation is once the ministry establishes that, there will be a require- ment for boards to do some transition planning for that,” said Mr. Pulla. The board will be ready with data available from its pilot program when that happens, he said. Kindergarten is an op- tional program. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 18, 2008 Poverty Reduction Public Meeting Moderator: Brian Hughes Date: Tuesday June 24, 7:00 pm Place: McLean Community Centre 95 McGill Dr., Ajax (Westney Rd.

Nicole Howes said she’s had her blue boxes stolen twice in the last several months, once in April and again in May. “Both times we put them out in the morning, we come back and they’re gone,” she said. Ms. Howes said she’s sick of paying the cost to replace the boxes, about $20 each for the large bins. But more worrisome for her is the con- cern that thieves may be making off with personal information. Unlike her husband, she said she’s not a shredder, but rather a ripper when it comes to junk mail. “I don’t even think about it. It’s mail I don’t need to open, but it’s our personal information,” she said. Region of Durham waste technician Katherine Ross-Perron said replacing the boxes is up to the residents. “The Region does not replace lost or stolen blue boxes, so residents would have to purchase a new blue box if that hap- pened to them or they could use a contain- er of similar shape or size,” she said, adding they’re available at cost from the Region for $5 and $6. People often call to report stolen boxes after stormy weather. “We often notice an increase in calls just after a major wind storm. The boxes blow into the street and people tend to take what’s in front of their house,” Ms. Ross- Perron said. She suggests residents spray paint their house number onto their blue boxes. As well, Ms. Ross-Perron doesn’t think scavengers who rifle through blue boxes generally take the entire contents, but she points out taking materials from the blue box is considered theft from the Region. “It may be aluminum or LCBO products, that’s where I would lean more towards than identity theft, and even then they just kinda rifle through the box, they don’t take the entire contents,” she said. As it stands, there’s not much the Region can do about scavengers, although a new region-wide waste municipal bylaw is in the works. She recommends residents take down license plate numbers if they see scavengers. “By the time we even get there or we can notify somebody they’re long gone,” Ms. Ross-Perron said. The advice from the Region is similar to what Ms. Howes has heard, but she’s still left frustrated. However, she said the thefts won’t deter her from recycling, “Yes we’ll still recycle, but definitely not spending money on buying recycling boxes over and over again.” Blue box thefts upset Pickering resident AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Food for a pal PICKERING — With a hand full of food, Ricardo Campoverde goes face to face with a lamb from ‘Pet- ting Pals’ at the Glendale Markets.

For all kinds of tastes menusdurhamregion.com Seeking 14 years on molestation charges By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — Evidence in- cluding numerous pictures of children seized by police after the arrest of a former teacher are indicative of long-standing predatory be- haviour toward young boys, a prosecutor contends. Crown counsel Kent Sali- wonchyk said the photos and documents, including application forms to adopt and act as a foster parent to children, show convicted pedophile Jeremy Pike has exhibited a long history of “grooming” children for sexual abuse. Mr. Saliwonchyk is seek- ing to enter the material at the sentencing hearing for Mr. Pike, who has pleaded guilty to charges relating the sexual abuse of several young boys. The Crown has indicated it will seek a peni- tentiary term of 14 years. “It’s all material Mr. Pike has collected over the years mapping out his life’s goal of coming into contact in one way or another with young boys,” Mr. Saliwonchyk told Ontario Court Justice Mary Teresa Devlin Friday. “It’s evidence of groom- ing.” Among the material the Crown sought to introduce were photos of Mr. Pike with children on a camping trip and at his former job as a recreation director on a cruise ship. Defence lawyer Eric Lewis objected to some of the material, questioning its relevance. He said none of the children depicted in the camping and cruise ship photos are alleged to be victims of assaults. Other material such as teaching certificates and evidence of Mr. Pike’s past involvement with children can be inter- preted positively, he said. “It’s going to be my posi- tion at the end of the day that Mr. Pike has devoted his life to teaching children . . . that’s evidence of good character, not bad charac- ter,” he said. But Mr. Saliwonchyk said Mr. Pike’s long record of vol- unteering and working with children does not indicate altruism, but something far more sinister. “It’s a lifestyle for Mr. Pike to feed his appetite for young boys,” he told the judge. Mr. Pike, 35, of Bowman- ville, was arrested in July 2005 and has been in cus- tody since that time. Part of his sentencing hearing will be devoted to determining how much credit he’s to be given for time served prior to his conviction. At the time of his arrest he was a Grade 5 teacher at Glen Street Public School in south Oshawa. There is no evidence he abused any of his students, court heard.

The permits were stolen during a 24-hour period, taken from cars parked at the Pickering Town Centre, the Durham Centre and the Sam’s Club on Brock Road. All the permits were taken from seniors who admit they left their vehicles unlocked, Durham police said. The victims report they had parked their vehicles in handicap spaces with the permits displayed in the windshield and when they returned, they were gone. The police are asking per- mit holders to keep them in a safe place when not in use and to lock doors and windows to prevent theft. Anyone with informa- tion on the thefts is asked to call criminal investiga- tions branch at 19 Division (Ajax-Pickering) at 905-683- 9100 or 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2521. Anonymous tips can also be made at Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477). Tipsters could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Accessible parking permits stolen SALEP recipients talk about the difference it made in their lives By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Before coming to the SALEP program, teenager Kayla Watson found her- self in the midst of a “huge problem.” Kayla, a student in the Durham District School Board’s Supervised Alternative Learning for Excused Pupils (SALEP) pro- gram, started falling behind in her regular classes and skipping to avoid dealing with her failure. As one of several Oshawa girls who re- cently shared their SALEP stories with trust- ees, Kayla has been able to work at her own pace and acquire many credits since joining the program. She hopes to return to high school and then attend university to become a family practitioner in medicine. “Before I went to the SALEP class, I went to one class a day,” said Jessica Sarrazin, another student presenter. She was more concerned about hanging out with people and doing anything but school work, she said. Jessica was eventually referred to the SALEP program. On her first day, facilita- tor Nancy Stairs told her they become like a family in the class and that’s what hap- pened. “I loved getting up in the morning and going to school,” said Jessica. There were days when she wanted to sleep in, but because of the program’s strict attendance requirements, you need a doc- tors’ note each time you miss school. “Even my attitude has changed and I have matured a lot,” she said. It taught her how to say ‘no’ to her friends who are skipping. “Now, I know I can be successful,” said Jessica. The SALEP program is authorized by the ministry of education. SALEP students are registered in a Dur- ham District School Board school, are 14 or 15 years old, and are experiencing at- tendance problems due to personal chal- lenges. Some common issues students may face range from the loss of a parent or sibling, gang involvement, low self-esteem, fam- ily issues, substance use, lack of success in school and poverty. “It is safe to say that any one of these issues would make school attendance dif- ficult,” Ms. Stairs said during a presentation to the school board’s standing committee. Another girl talked about her co-op and how she received a job offer through the program. SALEP helped Stephanie White realize her dreams aren’t that far away. She did a co-op at Mary Street School and has learned much about herself. Now, she wants to become a teacher. “Thank you so much for putting yourself out there tonight, what you did tonight takes courage and bravery,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau. “They should be as proud of themselves as the trustees are of them,” she said.

On June 1, 1942, as an 18-year- old living in Toronto, he joined the army. On June 13, 1944, one week after Canadian, American and British troops invaded Nazi-held France on D-Day, he arrived there, serving also in Belgium, Holland and eventually making the push with other Allied troops into Ger- many itself, until that magic day in early May, 1945, when word came that the Germans had surrendered. The Second World War was over. While many Canadians contin- ue to debate whether our troops should be in Afghanistan, it was a different war and a much different environment in the 1940s. Support for Canada’s involvement in the conflict, in English Canada at least, was widespread. “I think it was the totality of it,” Heron said in an interview, when asked to compare attitudes toward the two conflicts. “Every family must have had a member at least in uniform at some time during the war. People wanted to get it over with.” Heron tells the story of his in- volvement in the Second World War in his privately published, non-fiction book, ‘Depression’s Child Goes to War: A Toronto Boy’s Introduction to the 1940s’. But the book is more than a soldier’s tale. It tells of a time when society, neighbourhoods and neighbours were different. Radio was king, a source of news and entertainment. Most houses were heated by coal-and-wood-burning stoves. Milk and cream were de- livered to your door. Video games were unheard of and families were big. Large groups of children played games like Hide and Seek and Simon Says on city streets. Many families on the Herons’ Dal- housie Street, including his own, were drawing some form of wel- fare. There was no television and another modern convenience that today we take for granted was non- existent. “There was no air conditioning,” said Heron’s wife of 59 years, Olive Heron, “so in the summertime you sat on the verandah and got to know people.” It helped cement the bond be- tween neighbours, unlike today, they noted, when one can live two doors down from a family and not know their name or have any con- tact with them beyond a wave or an exchanged greeting now and then. “There was more of a closeness among people,” Olive Heron said. As George Heron relates in the book, his street was like a village unto itself. It was common for a neighbour to walk through your unlocked door to borrow some tea or sugar, or just for a chat. “In some respects we were all like one big family,” he writes. “We shared each other’s joys and woes and knew the goings on of the vari- ous members.” When Heron joined the army, the war was not going well for the Allies. Germany seemed an invincible foe and young men and women felt an obligation and pressure to sign up and do their “patriotic duty. “Your friends were starting to sign up and you felt the need to do it, too,” he said. He and a buddy joined the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada regi- ment. After training and some ser- vice at home, Heron didn’t join the rest of the regiment when it went east for advanced training due to a case of pleurisy. He eventually volunteered to become a signaller, training in Kingston, before the trip to England and then France. Heron had at least one close call but escaped the war unscathed. Asked if there was a moment when he knew the German army was beaten, Heron said there was a general feeling that it was just a matter of time. “They were always retreating; we were always going forward,” he said. His first book, ‘Child of the Great Depression: Growing Up in Down- town Toronto During the 1930s’, had looked at the previous decade. While the general reader and, in particular, young people, for whom life in the 1940s would seem to- tally alien, would find the book a good read, Heron says veterans and “people who kept the fires going on the homefront” during the Second World War would find it of special interest. The book is available for $10 by calling Heron at 905-683-1593.

Not by a long shot. This weekend in Val di Sole, Italy, the 17-year-old mountain bike racer will hurtle down rock faces and tree-lined slopes at break-neck speed against the best riders in the world, while repre- senting Canada in the emerging sport of downhill mountain bik- ing. A racer on the competitive Canada Cup and Ontario Cup circuits for the past two-and- a-half years, Fraser was named to the six-member Canadian team to compete at the 2008 UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) Mountain Bike World Champi- onships. Fraser and his teammates left Friday for Italy and, after a week of practice runs and a qualifying run, will begin competing this Saturday, June 21. Fifty nations will send 1,000 athletes to the world champion- ships, with approximately 260 of those riders expected to com- pete in the downhill mountain bike event. Downhill mountain biking is a time-trialed event, where com- petitors ride over rough terrain of rocks, roots and jumps while zooming down a mountain at top speed. The single-track race usually incorporates a wooded area and lasts approximately five minutes. A competitor in the junior expert category, Fraser says his excitement has been building since receiving notice two weeks ago he’d be part of the Canadian contingent at the worlds. “It was just excitement. It’s been my dream to go into the w orld-class level of mountain biking and it presented itself,” said Fraser, a Grade 12 gradu- ate of Pine Ridge Secondary School. In terms of how he expects to do in Italy, Fraser says he has no specific goals in mind -- just go fast and hope for the best. “I just want to have fun and not get hurt, but get a respect- able placing for Canada.” Fraser’s ascendency to the na- tional team this year was based on his performances at Cana- da Cup and Ontario Cup races this season. He competed at the Canada Cup event with his teammates on the Poison Frog mountain bike provincial team at Mont Tremblant, Quebec last month. There, he won the junior expert race. He also competed in an On- tario Cup race at the Kelso Con- servation Area in Milton in May where he won not only the ju- nior expert race, but also the ‘Hardtail’ event, where competi- tors use a mountain bike without rear suspension. He cut his teeth in downhill mountain bike racing at the Ski Lakeridge resort, near Uxbridge, where he started competing in local races several years ago. Since then, he’s been hooked on the thrill of downhill racing. “I liked it, so I looked into it and the racing just got better and better,” said Fraser, who was ini- tially intrigued by the sport after watching the reality TV program ‘Drop In’ about mountain bike riders in B.C. on the Xtreme Sports network. In preparation for Italy, Fraser has trained extensively on and off the bike. He’s been riding twice a week through the Rouge Valley Forest, as well as at Ski Dagmar and at Blue Mountain in Collingwood. He’s also been working out four times a week at the ATP Conditioning Centre in Pickering. While he’s suffered numerous injuries during his career aboard a mountain bike, including a broken hand, thumb and wrist, along with plenty of scrapes and stitches, they’ve all occurred during practice sessions and never while racing. He’s hoping that trend contin- ues in Italy. Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Pickering’s Rob Fraser will represent Canada at the 2008 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Val di Sole, Italy. He’ll race in the junior men’s down- hill mountain bike event on Saturday. The 17-year-old Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate has raced competitively for the past two-and-a-half years.

Autoboyz Service Centre Built on Customer Satisfaction Spartans top LOSSA junior girls’ rugby Dunbarton captures inaugural crown; finishes second at Barbarian Cup PICKERING — The Dun- barton High School Spar- tans captured the inaugural title in Durham Region ju- nior girls’ rugby this sea- son. The Spartans won the first-ever LOSSA (Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics) junior crown after scoring a solid 28-0 victory over Oshawa’s O’Neill Col- legiate Redhawks recently. Dunbarton junior coach James Blair said it was a pleasure to coach the girls this season. He noted about six players had previous rugby experience, having played at the under-17 level in previous seasons. Most players, however, were new to the sport, but worked hard to polish their skills throughout the season. “This group of kids were the old-style kids, ones that were committed and grate- ful to be there and wanted to win,” says Blair of his charges. “They really are a great group of kids.” He received numerous compliments about the Dunbarton players’ com- portment, on and off the field. Dunbarton advanced to the final after downing tra- ditional rugby powerhouse Brock High School 48-7 in the LOSSA junior (Grade 9 and 10) semifinal match. Blair said LOSSA girls’ rugby had been in a varsity format in previous years. This year, however, the ju- nior league was formed because of the safety issue with younger Grade 9 play- ers competing against more experienced players in the higher grades. This season, three schools -- Dunbarton, O’Neill and Brock (which replaced Port Perry) -- field- ed teams in the junior loop. Earlier this month, the Dunbarton juniors repre- sented LOSSA at the Bar- barian Cup in Markham, earning a silver medal against top competition from throughout Ontario. In the final, Dunbarton was defeated by Mayfield High School of Brampton 28-0. In earlier games, the Spar- tans defeated Banting High School from Alliston 48-0 and Napanee High School 17-12.
