The Region is currently working on con- forming to the Province’s growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, an area that rings Lake Ontario starting in Niagara and through Durham. The preferred scenario is measured growth in each of Durham’s communities. Even so, a group of about 50 residents heard, Oshawa and Pickering have been designated Urban Growth Centres, meaning they’ll see more growth. In her presentation, Melanie Hare of Urban Strategies, the Region’s consultants on the con- formity exercise, said the 40 per cent inten- sification target means that two out of every five new housing units- - be they houses or apartments-- would have to be located in areas already built up. This means building high- and-medium density housing in the urban areas. The current intensification rate in Durham is 30 per cent. “What the growth plan is telling us is hurry up a little bit,” said Ms. Hare. She pointed out that in Durham’s context, high density could include walk-ups, stacked townhouses and back-to-back townhouses. While certain areas will be designated for high density, it will be up to local municipalities to decide exactly how they want the development THE ANSWER IS BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Ajax resident Mike Seli takes advantage of some fair weather along the boardwalk in Pickering to practise his guitar.

MARSHA JONES DOOLEY CIP, CAIB, RIB (ONT.), EPC COMPLETE Insurance and Investments Province provides cash for $24-million project By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Featuring wind turbines and solar panels, a con- cept picture of Durham College’s Skills Training Centre expansion is about to become reality. The Whitby campus is getting $9 million to start its expansion project, announced John Milloy, Minister of Training Colleges and Universities, during a special event there Wednesday. “I’m absolutely thrilled that you’re here for our celebration today... it’s a big day for Durham College,” said Don Lovisa, Dur- ham College’s interim president, to those attending the announce- ment. The investment will jump-start the $24-million expansion plans for the skills training centre, which will occur in phases. The first set of construction is intended to start later this fall and will add 20,000 square feet of the total 40,000 planned. The expansion includes a second floor on the front of the building, new outfitting to sup- port energy-sector trades coming to the centre for 2010 and energy efficiency upgrades, including a geothermal heating and cooling system, such as the one at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). An extra 1,000 student spaces will also be added through the expansion. “Today is a day about, I think, two themes that have been emerg- ing in post-secondary coming to- gether,” said Mr. Milloy. The first theme is bricks and mortar, ensuring outstanding facilities exist so students aren’t preparing for tomorrow’s jobs in yesterday’s facilities, Mr. Milloy said. The second is skills training. Over the next decade 55,000-to- 60,000 skilled workers will retire, Mr. Milloy said. As the energy sec- tor continues to grow, they’ll need technicians for tomorrow’s tech- nology. “I want to congratulate Durham for being such a leader,” Mr. Milloy said. Wearing a Durham College Skills Training Centre T-shirt, student Kevin Bellerose said it was great to learn the Province is making this “critical investment. “It’s going to open more op- portunities for students for getting into skilled trades,” said Mr. Belle- rose, a first-year mechanical tech- nician student and Bowmanville resident. The college is looking at a capital campaign, approaching other levels of government and the community for the rest of the $24 million. “Right now we’re doing a feasibility study as a capital cam- paign,” said Mr. Lovisa. “But this is sufficient for starting.” A detailed plan will be designed for the expansion, but the front of the building was created with a future second floor in mind. The school has an existing set of expansion plans created during the SuperBuild projects era, when the UOIT was built. But, they’ll need to be reworked and divided into phases, said Allan Martin, associate dean, school of applied sciences, apprenticeships, skilled trades and technology.

Ms. Hare also said it’s important to focus on youth when conducting long-term planning exercises. She points out young people have a different set of values, greener values, than their parents. “They actually really like taking transit.” Residents were given the opportunity to comment following Ms. Hare’s presentation both verbally and on comment boards and sheets. They could also ask the Region and the consultants questions in an open house-style format. Pickering resident Terry Nuspl wanted to know if the intensification would be enforced. She said she’s seen big box stores in areas des- ignated high-density housing. “What teeth do you have behind this,” asked Ms. Nuspl. “What if nobody wants to build highrises?” Ms. Hare said it will be up to local municipalities to decide how they want their intensification to look, whether it will be four- plexes or highrises. Roger Saunders, manager of policy, plan- ning and special studies for Durham, encour- ages residents to learn more and get their comments in by July 14.

Correction Some information supplied for the July 4 editorial, Student post-secondary tuition discount doesn’t add up, was incorrect. The budget deficit passed by Durham College for this year is $3.25 million. The News Advertiser regrets the error. By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A projected revenue shortfall in Durham College’s operating budget is causing a $3.25-million deficit for the up- coming fiscal year. The budget, which needs to be sent to the Province by the end of the month, features $111 million in revenue, but more than $114 million in expenses, a 2.8 per cent gap. “I think people need to know, we know we have a challenge,” said Don Lovisa, Durham College’s interim president. “But we’re opti- mistic we’re going to be able to deal with this in the next few months and get things on the right track.” Although it’s a large number, the deficit represents a small and manageable percent- age, Mr. Lovisa said. “We’re still investing in the campus,” Mr. Lovisa said, “When you look at the big pic- ture, Durham College is alive and healthy and still going to deliver programs to 6,500 students.” Improvements students will see include renovations to some science labs, dental lab upgrades, a new e-lab, and other updates. Aside from the regularly approved and regulated tuition and student fee increases, the school can’t charge more to make up for the shortfall. “We can’t place this on the backs of our students, we have to find other solutions,” he said. The shortfall comes not so much with extra expenditures, but with revenue as- sumptions. Initially, more revenue was projected than now anticipated. Some of those shortfalls are the result of market changes, such as contractual services the school provides and international opportunities. They college is now being more cautious in its predictions, said Mr. Lovisa. He’s not sure where the savings will come from. “It’s like any other budget, you have to make decisions about your priorities,” Mr. Lovisa said. They’ll try to address the deficit so it doesn’t impact students, but it’s still too early to tell, he said. Over the next few months, the school has to provide the Province with a deficit-reduc- tion plan. Mr. Lovisa said Durham College will look to find savings and reductions to bring the budget as close to balanced as pos- sible by the end of the year. Consultations are planned over the next few weeks and months to develop strategies. Durham College’s economic climate is similar to that of other post-secondary insti- tutions due to market conditions, funding, and continuing costs, Mr. Lovisa said.

The former Ajax-Pickering MPP and minister of various cabinet posts, including com- munity and social services, is the new chairwoman of the Rouge Valley Hospi- tal System’s board of directors. Once the policy director for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of On- tario and vice-chair- woman of the RVHS board for the past two years, Ms. Ecker has been involved with the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital for more than 20 years. “(I’m) quite excited - intimi- dated, but very pleased,” she said in an interview. The new chairwoman comes into her position amidst the health system’s $78 million in long-term debt and capital deficiencies. In order to over- come the problem, RVHS will use recommendations of an independent peer review pre- sented to RVHS and the Central East Local Health Integration Network in December. Chang- es include achieving financial stability; improving quality and flow, with the help of the RVAP redevelopment that will greatly expand the ER; benefiting from the government’s improved funding for high-growth hospi- tals; and, working with the CE LHIN. “We’ve come through some challenging times,” she said. “We’re not out of the woods yet, but we’re back on track.” The consolidation of the mental health unit will pool expert nurses to one site, she said. This will not only improve efficiency, but also the qual- ity of care, she said. Outpatient services - which she said ca- ters to most mental health patients - will be increased at both sites to 16 hours a day, seven days a week. But the consolida- tion plan has been slammed by most in the community since it means no mental health beds will re- main at RVAP. “Change is incred- ibly difficult,” she said. “One of the reasons is because people care about health care...One of our priorities is to improve the community engagement pro- cess.” Community engagement allows the public to receive ac- curate information about what’s happening in the hospital and is also considered good com- munity feedback for the health system’s future plans, Ms. Ecker said. RVHS is in the midst of creating a community advisory group, it’s working with the CE LHIN and its collaboratives and plans to reach out to more com- munity groups, including the board and senior staff. “Our goal is being the best at what we do and we’re not afraid to benchmark ourself against the best hospitals in the prov- ince,” she said, adding marking itself against other hospitals is another way to improve. Volunteers are an impor- tant asset to the hospital, Ms. Ecker said, and it’s important to continue that relationship since they built the facility, help maintain quality with doctors and nurses and provide finan- cial contributions. “People have no idea how much of our health-care sys- tem depends on our volun- teers,” she said. The deficit elimination plan included the announcement to cut 220 posi- tions between both sites. But Ms. Ecker explained due to col- lective bargaining agreements, layoff notices had to go out. “That doesn’t mean that person’s out on the street,” she said.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 6, 2008 durhamregion.com Education, expanding recyclable items will spur recycling To the editor: Re: ‘Start the new year off clear’, June 15 News Advertiser. I for one am not in favour of using clear garbage bags and having the world see what I am throwing out on the basis that it will get me to recycle more. Who knows, I could be trying to get rid of that thoughtful yet tasteless gift a neighbour gave me for my birthday. All kidding aside, I think the real solu- tion is education, pressure from the Region (federal level?) on retailers and manufac- turers to use recyclable packaging only and the expansion of the items that you can recycle. The last item is key as today we seem to be limited to what we can put to the curb and cannot recycle items such as Styrofoam, blister packaging, plastic plant trays and pots, plastic fruit and cake con- tainers. Often I find that one garbage bag is devot- ed to this type of packaging and a clear gar- bage bag won’t exactly help. Yes I should buy friendlier packaging, but often there is no real practical alternatives offered. Jimmy Kalogris Pickering At a public meeting about a proposed condo complex on the Whitby waterfront that would include a 33- storey tower, Mayor Pat Perkins said “it’s just not Whitby.” She was agreeing with a number of resi- dents speaking out against a plan by Brook- field Homes to bring 1,200 housing units to an area adjacent to the Whitby Harbour. But here’s the thing: maybe it’s not Whitby now, or anywhere else in Durham, but it will be in the near future. The provincial government has made it clear that Durham needs to move beyond slapping down cookie-cutter developments on every inch of farmland or greenspace in the region, though to be fair, most Durham communities are aware that’s not a sustain- able approach to growth. The Province is requiring that municipalities match their official plans to its vision for growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, an area ringing Lake Ontario from Niagara through Dur- ham. Here, this means that two out of every five new housing units will have to be built within the already urbanized areas. For the most part, this will result in medium and high-density housing in those areas. And the intensification of the Region is already underway, from condos going up in downtown Oshawa to the San Francisco by the Bay development in Pickering. The drama over the Bay Ridges plaza aside, there are those in the neighbour- ing communities that opposed San Fran- cisco by the Bay simply because of its size, including 16- and 18-storey towers. If that was controversial, the proposed Whitby Harbour development is even more so, with the five buildings coming in at 33, 27, 21, 17 and nine storeys. As with the Pickering development, there would be townhouses built as well. The density of the Whitby project would be 370 units per hectare, well in line with the Province’s growth plan. As well, the development would go on what’s called brownfield lands, meaning they’re contaminated and will require clean up. The parcel of land was largely created by land filling in the 1950s by a dredging operation. The rehabilitation and redevelopment of brownfield lands is also something the Province endorses. Some of the fears from residents are sim- ply absurd, such as fears of increased crime because of the larger number of residents in the area. Unless empty-nesters and latte- set singles tend towards larceny and van- dalism, they have nothing to fear. Other concerns such as whether the buildings will cast a shadow on the neigh- bouring community (they won’t) and whether the infrastructure can handle the growth (it can) were addressed. When it comes to intensification, no one is threatening to replace existing communi- ties made up of detached homes with Sovi- et-style concrete blocks of apartments. The goal is to build more efficiently in areas that are developable and to rehabilitate lands left to languish, in some case for decades. Higher density living is simply more sus- tainable. It pre-empts the paving of green- field lands and makes mass transit much more sustainable. That being said, the Town of Whitby should squeeze every square inch of public park land from the developers it can, but at the same time, Whitby and every commu- nity in Durham should embrace intensifi- cation opportunities when they crop up. High-density housing doesn’t have to be anathema to the 905. Some municipalities, like Mississauga, are welcoming award- winning (and tall) condo projects to their neighbourhoods. We in Durham should aim to do the same. Reka Szekely’s column appears every third Sunday. Email rszekely@durhamregion.com. Embrace big buildings Quietly proud of our nation and its people Compared to our neighbours to the south, who marked their nation’s birthday on Friday, it’s fair to say the celebrations in Ajax and Pickering were probably much more subdued. This is not an indication of pride, or lack of it, in our country, but of a difference between Canadians and Americans. In the U.S., flags are everywhere and, while more have appeared here in recent years, the number doesn’t nearly approach those seen flying from porches or elsewhere in the States. Americans in general are much more demonstrative and likely to tell you their country is great. We, on the other hand, don’t feel the need to fly the flag or brag about Canada. It’s just not our way. It’s like someone born and bred in the country or in the woods. They don’t spend much time, any, really, rhapsodizing about the beauty of the landscape etc. They know it’s beauti- ful and leave it at that. Similarly, Canadians know our country is beautiful and that we’re loved around the world and take pride in it. We just don’t brag about it. Our more muted celebrations suit us fine. Some vignettes we observed on Canada Day were: neighbours sitting together on lawn chairs in the shade having a chat; kids cycling around having a great time: and, fireworks being set off in several neigh- bourhoods as people had mini-parties. Of course, both Ajax and Pickering held well attended events, a great chance to spend time with family and friends enjoy- ing our freedoms and great quality of life. Both municipalities also hold citizenship ceremonies, and if you’ve never attended one, they’re fascinating in that you see the whole spectrum of people who’ve come to our country and made it their own. And, in some cases you see the excitement and pride of whole families becoming citizens. They are truly moving ceremonies and it’s hard not to become emotional at them. Ajax has a wonderful tradition of hold- ing such a ceremony on Canada Day, and this year 33 people officially became Canadians. Judge Philip Gaynor, who came to Canada from Ireland 45 years ago, con- ducted the event. “It’s not easy to leave the land of your birth,” he said at the ceremony. “We will accept you into the family of Canada.” Mayor Steve Parish, Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland and Tracey Vaughan, execu- tive director of the Community Develop- ment Council Durham, offered help and encouragement. And they all meant it, demonstrating one of our best qualities as Canadians: we genuinely welcome newcomers to what becomes their country as well.

Most must-see locations are a stone’s throw from Dam Plaza, the city’s main square, anchored by its World War II monument. The plaza also serves as an umbilical cord for tram lines traversing the city. Anne Frank’s House, where the 13-year-old Jewish girl hid from the relentless Gestapo is nearby. It’s no longer furnished but you will find her diary, the original and translated versions, that became renowned through a book and movie, as well as pictures of her favourite silver-screen stars and postcards of Greek and Roman sculptures. Close by is a slice of contemporary Amsterdam – the Jordaan, a bohemian boutique-and-gallery laden neighbourhood. And there is the Central Station, where the canal bus serves the city with three routes and 14 stops. You can hop on and off to investigate the town. Also starting from Central Station is an evening cruise with cheese and wine. There are tours tailored for jazz fans and pizza lovers. In the 17th Century, during the Netherlands’ Golden Age, Amsterdam was reputed to be the world’s richest city. Wealthy merchants built elegant homes and sturdy warehouses alongside the canals. The waterways and 90 islands were created in the Middle Ages and interconnected with hundreds of bridges. As our small river craft launched into our canal tour, we got a our first true view of the old- brick, gabled, and oh-so-narrow houses, which are all about besting the tax collector. In the 17th Century, buildings were taxed according to their width. So the canny householder would build tall and thin, developing the Dutch trademark steep, ankle twisting staircases. Such steps made it difficult to take in furniture. So, a large metal rod attached to the top of the building serves as a crane. Furnishings are hoisted up and taken in through the largest window. On our canal cruise, we passed an old-fashioned anchored houseboat, complete with a cat, and several large and luxurious canal cruisers – glass- enclosed floating palaces gleaming with silver and gold. On Amsterdam’s streets, waves of bicycles navigate during driving rain, ice and snow. Cycling in bad weather is a matter of pride for a large segment of the population. The city is flat, compact and not built for cars. Four centuries ago, people walked the narrow streets and canals. Today, there are 600,000 bicycle owners in this city of 730,000. However, if you leave your bike unlocked, you are giving it away. The rule here is simple: if you find a bike that is unlocked, you take it. The typical Dutch bicycle has a built-in lock on the frame below the seat. This device clamps around the tire between the spokes of the rear wheel. About an hour out of town is Keukenhof, one of the most beautiful spring parks in the world. Millions of tulips flaunt an array of dazzling colours in April and May. AMSTERDAM: MODERN AND ANCIENT In this Dutch metropolis, remnants of both the ancient and more recent past can be explored on foot, on two wheels or gliding along the network of canals in tour boats Canals are prime travel routes in Amsterdam.

A report presented to the Durham District School Board meeting recently shows high- lights from the Durham Directives survey, including items most frequently identified as very important, the gap between ratings of importance and common practice and the role of those who filled it out. “People certainly took advantage of on- line,” said Martyn Beckett, the board’s di- rector of education. There were 1,686 surveys submitted with 1,291, or 76 per cent, done online and 395 by paper. The survey was administered between April 15 and May 15. It was a good idea to offer the survey online, Mr. Beckett said. Durham Directives is the board’s strate- gic plan implemented in 2004. The survey was aligned with the existing Durham Directives to provide an opportu- nity for benchmarking and tracking over time, the report says. The top area described as very important is providing a safe and secure learning en- vironment, with a rating of 88 per cent, but it only received a 73 per cent for common practice. Providing complete information on stu- dent program and achievement to parents and guardians was second on the list, with an 81 per cent importance rating and 75 per cent for common practice. The fifth most important area was pro- moting critical and creative thinking to prepare students to face challenges and changes, which received a 73 per cent rat- ing and scored 47 per cent for common practice. Of those filling out surveys, 703 were parents or guardians of a board student, representing 41.7 per cent of those com- pleted. The next biggest group was school administrator or officer – 227 or 13.5 per cent. The feedback provided through the survey will help the board set its priorities for the next five years and assist in resource allocation considerations. The board’s next steps include ensur- ing the community is informed about the results of the survey and drafting a revised version of the board’s strategic plan based on them. A series of public meetings will be held to display input and finalize the docu- ment. DURHAM — The public board is keeping its focus on removing attitudinal barriers for people with disabilities. The Accessibility Plan 2008, recently ap- proved by the Durham District School Board, includes the brochure ‘Creating Accessible Schools and Workplaces’. It features information and strategies from other inclusive documents and resources and will be used for employee and community in-services on the prevention of attitudinal barriers. “Attitudinal barriers include stereotypes, discrimination, biases that may reduce or eliminate opportunities for people with dis- abilities to participate fully in the life of their community,” said Doug Crichton, superin- tendent of special education, during a recent presentation to the board. The school board’s accessibility working group, which develops the annual plan and monitors its implementation, began its focus on removing attitudinal barriers in 2005. Through the 2008 plan, the working group will also review and make recommendations on ‘Accessibility Standards for Customer Ser- vice’. The requirement applies to all public sector organizations as of January 2010. A Durham Directives survey shows the following five items as having the largest gap between level of importance and common practice: Item Importance Common Practice Gap •Reporting board-wide student results to the public 17 per cent 70 per cent -53 per cent •Promoting critical and creative thinking to prepare students to face challenges and changes 73 per cent 47 per cent 26 per cent •Delivering a range of programs that meet the diverse learning needs of all students 74 per cent 54 per cent 20 per cent •Providing opportunities for students to exercise personal responsibility and civic duty 65 per cent 45 per cent 20 per cent •Encouraging co-operation, acceptance and respect in your school community or in your department 79 per cent 61 per cent 18 per cent School safety is main area of importance: survey Board wants attitudinal barriers removed from schools and workplaces Orchard Villa RETIREMENT RESIDENCE 1955 Valley Farm Rd.

When a Dutch ambassador to the court of Suleiman the Magnificent asked the name of the flower, he was told “dulband,”Arabic for turban. Hence, tulips were given the Latinized name for turban: tulipa. The Dutch have called them “shouts of joy,” “laughter of love in the green silence of the gardens,” and “king and the supreme glory of the Netherlands.” If you go: You can arrange tours with Classic Canal Charters at classiccanalcharters.com and, for more details, contact tourist information at noor-holland.com.

Challenge issued to accumulate one million extra hours By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — LeapFrog is looking for kids to jump into literacy this summer with its one mil- lion hour reading challenge. The goal, created to address the summer brain drain, aims to nation- ally accumulate an extra one million hours of reading time during the school break. When the challenge is reached, LeapFrog will donate an undetermined amount to Indigo’s Love of Read- ing Foundation, which provides new books to elementary schools. “LeapFrog is really excited about doing this,” said Gord Terry, LeapFrog’s general manager. LeapFrog is a designer, developer and marketer of technology-based learning products and con- tent. To achieve the one-million-hour goal, 133,000 students have to read 15 minutes extra for 30 days. The challenge is not intended to replace current family reading time, but add more, Mr. Terry said. LeapFrog introduced the reading challenge in response to a report by the Canadian Council on Learning, which says students lose an average of one month of school instruction over summer break. “Every parent looks at reading as really the base of all education,” Mr. Terry said. “I think it’s a program they can get involved in that gives them a bit of a reason to read this sum- mer,” he said. To get the challenge going, LeapFrog sent let- ters to 1,000 Canadian schools and partnered with 300, including about 40 in Durham Region. The schools that signed up for the one million reading hours received a free kit that includes books for their library and a TAG learning tool. The TAG is an electronic pen-shaped device that works with certain book titles to assist students with reading. “It promotes having fun while they’re reading,” Mr. Terry said. Students can collect the extra read- ing time individually or with their family. They can also bank lots of reading time at once. “It’s kind of setting aside a specific time,” Mr. Terry said. “What I do with my kids is rainy days... those are great days to do maybe 45 minutes. “With all the rain we’ve had over the summer, they should have lots of time,” Mr. Terry said. Those interested in participating can visit leap- frog.ca. to pledge toward the one million hours. They can also print a chart that includes games and colouring to keep track of the reading hours. LeapFrog wants kids to jump into reading this summer Farmers praise proposal at public meeting By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Mayor John Gray said Os- hawa council is “ready for a fight” as efforts to built an ethanol plant on the city’s water- front move forward. At a recent Monday night meeting, a lively crowd of about 150 converged on the Gen- eral Motors Centre to have their say on a proposal by FarmTech Energy Corporation to build a 12-hectare, $185-million plant that converts corn into ethanol for use as a gasoline additive. More than 30 people took a turn at the microphone, with roughly equal numbers speaking for and against the project. Politicians on the other hand, came armed with more concerns than praise. “It is foolhardy to put something like this at the lake, it freezes our ability to have the kind of development we want there,” Mayor Gray said. “We are not obligated to pass this thing and I don’t think we should. This is not a good thing for our city.” Councillors voiced concerns about odour, noise, environmental impact, extra trucks clogging city roads, safety in the event of a fire at the plant and the long-term sustain- ability of bio fuels. FarmTech is seeking millions of taxpayer dollars from the federal government to get the plant off the ground and help it operate if it loses money. But the company won’t be deterred with FarmTech president Dan O’Connor saying he will appeal to the Ontario Munici- pal Board (OMB) if council shoots down the plan. FarmTech spent months studying poten- tial locations before settling on a site at the Oshawa port behind Gifford Hill and adja- cent to McAsphalt Industries. The proposed site is about 40 metres from the waterfront and would be accessible by truck, rail and ship. Before a plant can be built there, council needs to approve an official plan amend- ment and a rezoning. The proposed site is currently zoned “special waterfront,” and does not permit an ethanol plant. Monday’s public meeting was the first major step in the rezoning process. Mr. O’Connor stressed the port is the most logical location because it is accessible by truck, rail and ship. “It makes perfect planning sense,” he said. “Oshawa is also in a unique situation be- cause it has access to a local corn supply and it’s close to a large ethanol market in the GTA.” The most vocal supporters of the proposal were local farmers, who said they have spent years selling corn for less than it costs to grow it. “Council’s decision will decide whether I stay farming in this community or in this province,” said Dale Mountjoy, a fifth-gener- ation corn farmer in Oshawa and chairman of the Ontario Corn Producers Association. If approved, the plant would be owned by a co-op of about 800 farmers and supplied by 1,700 corn growers between Hwy. 400 and Belleville. Ethanol is a high-octane fuel additive made from fermented sugar or starch found in grains, which helps gasoline burn cleaner, reducing air pollution and smog. The Ontario government has mandated that all gas currently sold in the province contain five per cent ethanol. By 2010, that number will jump to 10 per cent.

The other 650 would be “industry related” positions in areas like transpor- tation and logistics with some outside Durham Region. The 650 figure is based on a provincial government study that projects the number of jobs created by ethanol plants A plant in Oshawa would bring in an esti- mated $1 million in annual property taxes and $60 million in spin-off economic benefits. It will also cost taxpayers: FarmTech has applied for two sources of federal funding and stands to receive up to $31 million in capital cash and up to $20 million in operating dollars in the first year if it doesn’t turn a profit DURHAM — A Durham apprentice has proved he’s the best at what he does when measured against his peers. Machinist apprentice Mike Van Leeuwen won a gold medal at the National Skills Competition recently, following his gold win at the provincial level a few weeks earlier. “Participating in both competitions was an amaz- ing experience,” said Mr. Van Leeuwen. “I have learned from a group of excellent teachers who have shared their professional experience with me and my classmates.” A third-year general machin- ist apprentice, Mr. Van Leeu- wen won the national event for his machining skills, showcased while assem- bling a balloon pump. The competition was in Alberta and included 500 secondary and post-secondary students from across Canada compet- ing in more than 40 trades and technology events, such as transportation, construc- tion, information, manufac- turing, service and employ- ment. At the provincial level, Durham College students Britney Kayne, for hairstyl- ing, and Grant Henderson, for electrical, each took home a bronze medal. “We are immensely proud of the students who competed in all levels of this competition,” said Marj Rempel, dean of the School of Applied Sciences, Ap- prenticeship, Skilled Trades and Technology. “All three of these award-winning stu- dents have proven they have a bright and rewarding future ahead, one that will support our provincial government’s desire to continue develop- ing a skilled trades workforce that meets Ontario’s future needs.” The is the first national gold for Durham College since students began partici- pating in the Skills Canada Competition three years ago.

Several projects are still ongoing at the Durham Catholic District School Board as trustees heard recently dur- ing a building and site plan report presentation. Security upgrades through the in- stallation of a closed-circuit television system at the Catholic Education Cen- tre have been delayed due to an issue with the underground cabling conduit between buildings.

At the Catholic Education Centre, all work is finished except for some minor deficiencies and the commissioning of the new radiation heating system. Work is ongoing for Good Places to Learn, phases 1 and 2, and staff are working toward a planned completion by August 2008.

A special citizenship cer- emony was held in Ajax on July 1, with 33 sworn-in by Judge Philip Gaynor. The new Canadians came from Antigua and Barbuda, India, Jamaica, Kuwait, Leb- anon, the Philippines and the United States. Zack Salman, his wife Fadia and five-year-old daughter Jona came from Lebanon four years ago. They came “for a better life, a better future for our daughter,” Mr. Salman said. “Some things were different, but we’re managing.” Bonny Andrade, his wife Maureen, son Warren, 13, and daughters Nicole and Denise, 9, came from Bom- bay, India and now live in Ajax. They came to Canada “because it’s a peaceful country,” Mr. Andrade said. “We like the values, the free enterprise.” He works as a nuclear op- erator at the Pickering gen- erating station. There were a “few initial” settling issues, but “it’s get- ting better by the day. We love it,” he said. “It’s especially good for the kids here. We settled in from Day 1. Coming from Bombay, which is a multi- cultural place.” The swearing-in ceremo- ny was held in the council chambers of the Ajax Town hall with about 75 people attending. About 160,000 people immigrate to Canada each year, said Joanne Dies, the president of the board of di- rectors for the Community Development Council. “They proudly make Can- ada their home. They come for a number of reasons, pri- marily for their children.” “It’s a pleasure to be here on the most joyous days of your life,” said Judge Gaynor, who himself emigrated from Ireland in 1963. “I know that you are very excited and I am as excited as you are. “I have come to love this country and I am sure you will,” he said. Becoming a citizen was “a lot of hard work for you. I congratulate you on your dedication,” Judge Gaynor said. “It’s not easy to leave the land of your birth. We will accept you into the fam- ily of Canada.” “By taking the oath, you are publicly saying you want to shape Canada for genera- tions to come,” Judge Gaynor said. “There isn’t an expecta- tion on you to give up your culture and heritage. We want you to share it,” said Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland. “The real strength of Can- ada is we draw on each oth- ers strengths. Be active par- ticipants on moulding and shaping our country.” “I know you will have a great future here and we want to assist you,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “We will work with you to help you engage in com- munity life,” said Tracey Vaughan, the executive di- rector of the Community Development Council Dur- ham. An immigrant from Bir- mingham, England, Ms. Vaughan said she became a citizen 12 years ago. She told the new citizens the “possibilities are end- less” in Canada. “Love the old country, but love Canada more,” Judge Gaynor said in ending the ceremony.

Contrary to popular belief the housing market has slowed down considerably, with the exception of new home sales, which is still going at a rapid pace. Most areas of new home sales appear to be controlled by two or three builders which equates to rapid price increases in a volatile market. When looking at a closing date two years down the road, try and remember 1989, and the market crash that ensued.

DURHAM — Synchronized swim- mers from Durham Region turned in stellar performances at their final competition of the season. Durham’s Tier 6s took part in Espoir, held in Edmonton recently, an event that drew teams from across Canada. Leslie Wickens’ team finished ninth in team preliminaries and 12th after figures were included in the calcula- tions. This left them to pre-swim for the National finals. Meanwhile, Jenilee Keslering’s team finished 16th in both team preliminar- ies and overall. Strong individual figures results were posted by Jessica Henry, finishing 11th, Rachel Nickerson 33rd, Stephanie Geller 36th and Hannah Koke 94th. In preliminary solo competition, Henry finished 12th, Nickerson 19th, Geller 29th and Koke 34th. In duet preliminaries, Henry and Geller came seventh and later ninth in the finals, while Nickerson and Alycia Halyk finished 20th. Synchro swimmers end year with strong efforts Rob Barrett to play in World Series of Poker By Ryan Chalmers rchalmers@durhamregion.com DURHAM — For Rob Barrett, try- ing to find something to fill the void in his life caused by the NHL lock- out was difficult. He decided to give online poker a try. Little did he know at the time that it would lead to the opportunity of a lifetime. “I have been playing poker for about five or six years but I started getting serious about it, like a lot of Canadians, during the lockout,” Barrett explained. “I started play- ing online on those Saturday nights in the absence of Hockey Night in Canada.” Playing on the website PurePlay. com, Barrett was able to defy the odds stacked against him, winning a tournament where the grand prize was a seat in the main event at The World Series of Poker. The WSOP started in Las Vegas on July 3 and lasts for 11 days. The prize pool for the largest poker event in the world will be over $60 million with the first-place finisher receiv- ing over $10 million. There will be over 6,000 competitors with the top 1,000 finishers receiving monetary compensation; last place receives $40,000. If Barrett makes it to the weekend, 100th place pays an as- tounding $375,000. “The nice thing is that I don’t have to pay to play, that’s taken care of,” Barrett said. “I just have to get there but hotel rooms are ranging from $270 to $690 per night. It will cost me about five grand to fly and stay there.” After winning the qualifying tour- nament online, Barrett was in a state of shock. When he spoke to repre- sentatives from the website, he was surprised they didn’t know anything about Canada. “They were like, ‘Where the hell is Bowmanville, Canada?’,” They thought that Ontario was a city,” said Barrett. Barrett will now have to shift from online to playing face-to-face and no just against amateurs but against the best in the world. His strategy will have to change a bit when he starts playing for the big bucks. “I call my (online) strategy ‘The Ground and Pound’,” he explained. “Basically what I try to do is, right at the start, when the blinds are small, I am apt to take chances. I play very aggressively at first and it has worked out well.” That strategy was evident when he bluffed a finalist out of 120,000 chips during the final three in the qualifier. In the last hand of the final he drew the jack and nine of dia- monds. The opponent went all in and Barrett called. His counterpart had an ace, king. When the river card was turned, it left an eight, jack, three, three and seven showing. “I almost cried when I saw those cards,” he recalled. “I knew I had just won the tournament and was head- ing to Vegas.” Playing for the prospect of be- coming an instant millionaire isn’t lost on Barrett. “If I won it all I would probably take care of my family,” noted an excited Barrett. “I just want to make everybody happy.” His long-term goal is to play on the professional poker tour, but for now, he has his sights set solely on his opportunity in Las Vegas.

Will Mitchell of Whitby, had an opening round 62, a course record at the Cotton- wood Golf and Country Club in Calgary which set the former OCAA standout up well for the rest of the tournament. In round two Mitchell carded a four- under 67 and remained in the lead, tied with three others, at 13-under. Unfortunately, day three wasn’t near as fruitful for Mitchell, despite spending most of the round trading birdies with eventual tournament winner Dustin Ris- don of Calgary. Following the round, much to his sur- prise, Mitchell was disqualified. His caddy had been inadvertently standing behind him on several shots and Mitchell was unaware of Rule 14-2b that states: ‘In making a strike, a player must not allow his caddie or his partner’s caddie to position himself on or close to an extension of the line of play or the line of putt behind the ball.’ When such an incident occurs, the golfer must account for the penalty strokes, however Mitchell failed to do so and was booted out for having signed an incorrect score card. But as disappointing a finish as it was for Mitchell in Calgary, things were a little worse for his former Lords teammate Tyler Martin of Ceaserea. Martin failed to make the cut for the third time in as many events.
