Ribs were just one of the many delicious food choices available at the event at Esplanade Park. Big crowds for Pickering Ribfest VISITORS GRAB EVERYTHING FROM RIBS TO CORN TO SEAFOOD BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It was sticky fingers and faces as record crowds were lured to the Esplanade this weekend by the scent of good grilling at the second annual Pickering Rotary Ribfest. Thousands filled up rows of benches as they devoured their favourite treat, with most grabbing the festival’s main attraction from one of seven ribbers. Some brought lawn chairs and picnic blankets and looked for the perfect shady spot; others preferred to tuck in as they listened to the sound of live entertain- ment. Last year 32,000 people showed up for the event, hosted by the Ajax and Pickering Rota- ry clubs, and this year that record was easily broken by the time doors closed on the sec- ond day. “We’ve had up to 41,000 people by Saturday and we don’t know what we’re at today,” said Pickering Rotary Club president Jean-Luc Pigeon as he worked the gates Sunday after- noon. He said the crowds peaked on Satur- day, drawn by the hot and sunny weather.

ACCIDENT Repatriation expected Thursday afternoon Canadian soldier killed on foot patrol in Afghanistan DURHAM -- The body of the latest sol- dier killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan will return home for a repa- triation ceremony on Thursday. Private Alexandre Peloquin, 20, of the 3e Bataillon, Royal 22e Regiment, died Monday while on foot patrol in southern Kandahar. He was based out of Canadian Forces Base at Valcartier near Quebec City. If the repatria- tion ceremony pro- ceeds on sched- ule, the motorcade is expected to pass through the region along the Highway of Heroes around 3:30 p.m. Hundreds of Dur- ham residents have paid tribute on Hwy. 401 overpasses for each of the fallen soldiers as they make their way home. Pte. Peloquin is the 119th Canadian soldier to die since the mission began in 2002. Watch newsdurhamregion. com for more coverage of the repatriation. TRIBUTE PRIVATE ALEXANDRE PELOQUIN Victim’s cargo was stolen, body found in Pickering BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- A stranded trucker caught a ride with a fellow driver to the truck stop murder victim Donald Woods visited before he disappeared, a jury has heard. And even though the man said his truck had broken down and was being fixed, he showed no interest in checking out those repairs, former trucker Donald Carpentier testified Tuesday in Whitby. “He did not check the truck,” Mr. Carpentier said. “I found it funny.” The Crown contends the man Mr. Carpentier met in Toronto and travelled with to Belleville on June 22, 2006, was Paul Cyr. Mr. Cyr, of Montreal, is accused of first-degree murder in the kill- ing of Mr. Woods, a Brockville-area trucker who was found dead in his truck in Pickering on June 23, 2006. Mr. Woods last had contact with his wife on June 21 as he pulled into the Ten Acre Truck stop off Hwy. 401 in Belleville, jurors have heard. It is the Crown’s theory that Mr. Cyr killed Mr. Woods with a shot- gun blast to the back of the head and then stole the victim’s cargo, a load of air-chilled chicken. The Crown has presented evidence that food processors in the Toron- to area bought chicken from a man they knew as Paul in the days following Mr. Woods’s murder. Mr. Carpentier testified Tues- day he met up with the stranded trucker at one Toronto food com- pany and that the man rode with him to another business before they left the city. Workers at both food warehouses knew the man, Mr. Carpentier testified. Mr. Carpentier said the man he picked up told him his truck had broken down and was being repaired. But when they pulled into the Ten Acre truck stop June 22, the man tossed some belong- ings in the cab and went immedi- ately to eat, the witness said. “He didn’t check the truck -- (to see) if the repair was made -- and I found that funny,” Mr. Carpentier said. Mr. Carpentier said that later in the evening, he heard the truck- er talking to a woman and telling her he couldn’t help her. Earlier in the trial, Mr. Woods’s wife, Nicole, testified she went to the Belleville truck stop in search of her hus- band after he went missing. She said she approached a man driving a truck bearing the logo for JC Drivers, the company Mr. Cyr drove for. Mr. Woods was considering join- ing JC Drivers and was arrang- ing to meet with someone from the company just before he died, jurors have heard. The trial continues. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 20094 AP WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING A PASSION FOR COMFORT Genuin Soft Leather, Absolute Comfort ¤ Murder suspect hitched ride to truck stop: witness CRIME 24/7 LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >>newsdurhamregion.comEnsure well stays well DURHAM -- A free service is aimed at helping Durham resi- dents identify potential prob- lems with their wells.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions JOBS IN SCHOOL All educational assistants should fight together To the editor: Re: Best employees needed for special needs children, Sylvia Tompkins letter, June 3. I am an education assistant 2 with the Durham District School Board and will be losing my job as of the end of this school year. I disagree with the DDSB’s decision to cut EA2 positions, although my fight is with the DDSB, not other EAs. Sylvia Tompkins states the qualifica- tions of an EA2 as “employees with good hearts and high-school diplomas but no formal training in the field.” This statement, although accurate in the job description, does not accurate- ly represent the actual people doing the job. These hard-working people have col- lege diplomas, university degrees, and specific training in areas such as autism, behaviour and programming. For many EA1s the only difference between them and an EA2 is a three-year Child and Youth Work diploma. We must focus our attention of the decision-makers, not our fellow EAs who we desperately need support from us on a daily basis. I value the team of EAs, teachers and administration I currently work with and hope that all EA2s whether you are still employed or have been laid off share in this. Our fight is with the DDSB; let’s keep it that way. Jen Upton Ajax AUTO SECTOR Teacher applauds deal that helps GM pensioners To the editor: I have read, with great interest, most of the letters in your paper about the GM pension crisis. Many of those letters have been mean-spirited attacks on the “sweet deal” the GM employees have. A teacher wrote that he understood the pension bailout, but didn’t have to like that the government was propping up the pension plan because the workers did not contribute to it themselves. I, too, am a teacher and have also con- tributed thousands of dollars per year, for 32 years, to our own pension plan. That was the deal I signed up for when I inked my contract. However, the situation in GM was that union employees would get a pension, when they retired, and would not have to contribute a dime themselves. That was the contract they signed up for. Well, good for them, and good for their union for procuring that deal, a union which, by the way, has stood behind teachers and our concerns over the years. We teachers have a “sweet deal” our- selves with a superbly run pension plan, even though we contribute to it, massive- ly. I, for one, do not begrudge my tax dol- lars to help pay the pensions of employ- ees who have toiled for their compa- ny their whole working lives, and who, through no fault of their own, could have been left high and dry when GM, with government approval, used the pension assets to pay their own debts, leaving pensioners without benefits. GM may have been “too big to fail,” but fail it did - and its workers were left in desperate straits. Instead of rubbing our hands in glee at the potential ruination of many of our neighbours, why not celebrate that our governments have seen fit to recognize the injustice of this and have taken steps to correct it? Do these workers, your neighbours, not deserve as secure a retirement as I, and I hope, you, will enjoy? I think they do. Jonathan O’Mara Whitby Emergency services show they’re ready when the need arises It was just another beautiful late spring Fri- day afternoon with thoughts of the weekend on many a mind when suddenly, at 2:10 p.m., disaster struck. The 27-car train derailment under the Park Road overpass in Oshawa changed every- thing. The CP freight train, en route from Smiths Falls to Toronto, had been rolling along with- out trouble until it suddenly went off the tracks in Oshawa. When that happened, it triggered a series of events that have been put in place for just such occurrences. It wasn’t long before first responders -- police and fire department along with EMS -- were on the scene. The area was quickly blocked off and assessed and it was discov- ered that a minor miracle of sorts had hap- pened. There had been no injuries and, unbelievably, none of the cars had landed in anybody’s backyard. That was a far cry from the horrible tragedy back in 2004 when a derailment on a Whitby overpass killed two women, a train car land- ing on their automobile as they drove along a road. But though this derailment fortunately did not have those devastating results, it did pose other initial health concerns. There were fears since one of the cars was carrying hydrogen peroxide and a leak of the gas could prove hazardous to anyone liv- ing nearby. So, an evacuation needed to be planned and executed. There was some con- fusion on this end of the operation as to the precise area to be evacuated but it was car- ried off with success. It must be said that Mayor John Gray and Fire Chief Steve Meringer handled them- selves with grace under pressure. Both men answered query after query from the assem- bled media and provided leadership in a very difficult situation. They were there when the citizens of Oshawa and Durham Region needed them to be there. The mayor, especially, put in a tremen- dous number of hours at the scene to ensure everything was under control and that it was safe for evacuees to return to their homes. He was upset at some councillors for provid- ing inaccurate information about evacuees being allowed to return home and informa- tion getting out too slowly. In an emergency, the mayor pointed out, he or his designate, should speak for the City. As for the fire chief, at a press conference on Saturday morning, he said the emergency plan worked extremely well, and that is true to a point. Fact is, communication with all local media -- radio, TV, newsdurhamregion.com -- could have been better than it was. Cer- tainly it was difficult to get access to informa- tion from emergency service spokespeople in the immediate hours after the disaster and they didn’t provide that information local- ly. They should have been speaking to local people through local media outlets where they would have been heard. But, all in all, a fine job in difficult circum- stances was done by everyone. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 20096 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com WE ASKED My headlong slide into middle-aged ner- diness continues unabated. I have discov- ered jigsaw puzzles. Once you start closing in on 50 you have to be very careful. Things sneak up on you. Your Geek radar begins to wear out, some- times malfunctioning entirely. As a teen- ager or even a young thirty-something, the mind and body employ a razor-sharp set of measures and counter-measures designed to make sure one does not, even inadver- tently, resemble or behave like an idiot. Those mechanisms, however, break down over the years. Just the other day I caught myself walking to the post office in Birkenstock sandals, white socks and a sweater vest. There was a time, and it was not that long ago, that I would’ve sooner worn a thong down main street than commit such an offence. Still, it seemed OK at the time. Likewise, at 49, does it seem OK to wear that shirt/pants/underwear for just one more day than is probably hygienic. I mean, they’re not that dirty. And who’s looking anyway, right? Again...the radar is badly out of whack. Which brings us, sadly, to the jigsaw puz- zle. I really didn’t see this one coming at all. While moving my mother-in-law out of her home of 40 years, we came across, amongst a horde of other paraphernalia dating back to the Lindbergh kidnapping, an unopened 500-piece puzzle. I thought nothing of it at the time, but, as it was pris- tine, decided to bring it home rather than toss it out. A decision, I would soon real- ize, that was not unlike the Trojans opting to wheel that cool-looking horse inside the gates. A week or so later, when, just for a lark, I opened the box and poured the contents onto the kitchen table, I released much more than just 500 maddeningly similar pieces of cardboard. I opened a Pandora’s box of obsessive- compulsive disorder. What I had failed to understand is that to a control freak and a completion addict, a jigsaw puzzle is like the very purest heroin. Remember, I’m the guy who, for years prior to therapy, could not set aside a book once I’d started reading it, no matter how egregiously bad the writing. I just had to finish it. An uncompleted puzzle, spread across the kitchen table, is irresistible. I’m like a teenage boy trying to walk by a half- open Hustler magazine on the sidewalk. “I’ll just see if I can’t pop in a piece or two” very quickly turns into “The Roses! The Roses! Dammit, I must finish the roses!” And before you know it you have become, as my 14-year-old son derisively labelled me... a “buff.” I suppose I am. I must be. I’m now on my third puzzle. And, as much as it pains me to admit it, I have already visited several online puzzle stores, covetously planning my next chal- lenge. No one’s been able to eat a meal at the table for the last two weeks. I am hag- gard, bleary-eyed and prone to irritability. I have been known to snap angrily at peo- ple who say hurtful, thoughtless things like “Haven’t you finished the Clown yet?” or “Boy, that sky’s taking a long time.” On the upside, a person sitting inside, doing a puzzle for hours on end, doesn’t really need to change his shirt, pants, underwear very often. And no one cares about the sandals, socks and sweater vests. The only thing that matters, is the roses. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. As a photographer covering the local news, you often strive for the extraordi- nary to come out of the ordinary. Sometimes it is just pure luck that has you pointing your camera in the right direction at the right time. You also have to be fast enough to cap- ture that split-second reaction between the student and the poor victim who got his ear clipped while getting his head shaved for a school fundraiser. Hey old man, just try and puzzle this one! NEIL CRONE The first call came in to the newsroom Fri- day, about 2:10 p.m. The woman at the other end of the line wasn’t panicking but I could hear the ten- sion in her voice. She started to tell me about the number of fire trucks heading up Park Road and while she wasn’t sure where they were going, she could see some sort of dust cloud in the dis- tance. “You might want to check it out,” she said before I thanked her and she hung up. That was the first call I received about Fri- day’s train derailment and it wasn’t the last. So much for Friday afternoon being quiet and a good chance to head home early. There’s something about reporters when a big story is breaking. Their hearts pound a bit faster and they get champing at the bit to get moving. First out the door was crime reporter Jeff Mitchell, who headed to the scene with a camera. Photographer Ron Pietroniro fol- lowed with his own camera and a video camera. While Jeff stayed at the scene, busi- ness reporter Melissa Mancini drove up to retrieve his camera so we could get the pho- tos off it. Other reporters in the newsroom made calls to local fire officials, GO Transit and the school boards to get as much infor- mation as possible. Within three-and-a-half hours we had stories, pictures and video online and followed up with more stories, pictures and video on our website through- out the weekend. When newspapers first debated how prop- erly to use the Internet some decided to post stories online only after they appeared in print. We went a full 180 degrees, deciding to post all our stories online. This allows us to get the news to our readers first and still pro- vide great indepth coverage in print. The train derailment is another example of that decision being the right one as within one hour, more than 1,000 people had read our breaking news brief online. Managing Editor Mike Johnston will be writing a column every two weeks to give our readers an idea of what goes on in our newsrooms.

Pickering in harmony on tax opposition Now is not the time to add on taxes: council PICKERING -- Since people’s eco- nomic situations have changed drastically because of the current economic condition, now is not the time to tack on extra taxes, says Pickering council. Council has taken a stand on the proposed provincial sales tax harmonization with the gen- eral sales tax, and has asked that the implementation be delayed until more public consultation is done. The provincial government recently announced the harmo- nization of the five-per cent GST and the eight-per cent PST. A motion introduced at a recent council meeting by Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean points out the tax will be added to almost all goods, affecting young and old, married and single con- sumers. The PST will be added to items and fees such as gas, home heat- ing fuel, hydro, water, prescrip- tions, condo fees, recreational sign-up fees and home renova- tions. Coun. McLean said he made sure to get a fence put in his back- yard this year because it would be more expensive after an extra tax is tacked on. “There are people ... who couldn’t afford the extra couple hundred dollars,” he said. Council asked that the Associa- tion of Municipalities of Ontario lobby the Province on the City’s behalf. COUNCIL Network for success at library PICKERING -- A business net- working seminar is being host- ed by the Pickering Central Library.

A Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its’ contributing watersheds was initiated by the City of Pickering and its’ consultant MMM Group in 2006 as it was identifi ed as a priority project in the fi ve-year implementation plan for Pickering’s waterfront. The recommended Master Plan consists of a group of projects, programs and policies designed to address issues related to fl ooding, erosion and poor water quality as well as a comprehensive restoration plan that will increase and improve the habitat function of the Provincially Signifi cant Wetlands located within Frenchman’s Bay and Hydro Marsh. The Master Plan was developed by the City in cooperation with Toronto and Region Conservation in accordance with the Master Planning component of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, October 2000, as amended in 2007.

The $800-billion stimulus package put forward by the Obama administration includes a ‘Buy American’ clause. While the clause won’t affect stimulus spending by the Ameri- can government, state and local governments can invoke the clause when buying goods and services. It’s “going to affect jobs” in Canada, Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said during a Region- al finance committee meeting recently. “It will affect the movement of companies out of Canada and into the States to get in on the stimulus funds.” Mayor Pearce, who is also the chairwoman of the finance committee, said. “There should be no restric- tions on bidding on these con- tracts.” She pointed to an incident in California in early May, when sewer pipes that had been installed were ripped out because they had been made in Canada. The pipes were replaced with some made in America. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities held a conven- tion recently and dealt with a resolution asking the Canadian government to intervene. “This resolution is picking up a lot of momentum,” Mayor Pearce said. “There are photos of pipes being ripped out of the ground because they have ‘Made in Canada’ stamped on them. “If the federal government is buying pipes, it would be no issue. It would be under NAFTA,” Mayor Pearce said. This resolution is picking up a log of momentum. Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce POLITICS From page 1 Sunday. “It’s great. This is our first year here and I expected it to be a lot smaller, I didn’t expect it to be such a large event,” said Ms. Armstrong. Like many others, the family’s favourite was the ribs. “It was so good,” said seven-year-old Kayah. Ajax’s Murray Herbert agreed. “I’m sorry I didn’t come last year. There are lots of people out here, it’s a nice event,” he said. Mr. Herbert also brought his family, including his four-year-old grandson Malik. The family headed to the rides before settling down to eat. Debra Hatfield, of Ajax, was a repeat customer. “It’s been a blast, all three days we’ve been here,” she said on Sunday. She added she tried a little bit of everything, including the West Indian food. Mr. Pigeon was happy with how the event unfolded. “We love it, we’ve gotten a lot of compliments from people who like how it’s organized this year.” He said the wider offering of food this year, including vegetarian options and seafood, was a big success and thanked the more than 150 vol- unteers who did everything from security to beer sales to helping people sort their garbage. Margaret Jocz, of St. Paul’s On-The-Hill food bank, also thanked volunteers for their help. People dropped off both food and cash dona- tions as the food bank tried to fill a van. Jena Spencer, from Active Green and Ross, was one of the volunteers collecting for the food bank. “We were handing out green bags and if peo- ple brought them back full of food, they got a free oil change,” she said. Durham police were also on hand and said everything went well both with day and evening crowds. “It’s all just people dancing and having a good time, all families and kids. The crowds were good,” said Sergeant Jeff Moore. Mr. Pigeon promises that next year Ribfest will be back, bigger and better. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 200911 Lifestyle Sunrooms, Windows and Doors would like to congratulate the winners of it’s semi-annual Community Appreciation Draw, Sales representative Julius Karl presents Mr. and Mrs. Fadel with their new HDTV.

Research indicates that people who gain weight often spend much of their day on a “blood sugar roller coaster”, leaving them tired or irritable and leading to unhealthy food cravings. Eating the wrong foods magnifi es the problem, but the underlying cause is insulin resistance, a condition where insulin is released after meals but the body fails to respond appropriately. Insulin resistance is one of the root causes of obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes. PGX (PolyGlycopleX®) is a proprietary complex of naturally-occurring, water- soluble polysaccharides (fi bres) and is the result of intensive clinical and laboratory research at a leading Canadian university in collaboration with the Canadian Center for Functional Medicine. Research has shown that taking PGX with food slows gastric emptying and can reduce a meal’s glycemic index by up to 50 per cent, contributing to healthy blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity. PGX also helps control appetite by providing a feeling of satiety (fullness). The Ultra Matrix Softgel is a unique delivery system where PGX granules are suspended in a matrix of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) derived from purifi ed coconut oil. Although the primary health benefi ts come from the PGX itself, the thermogenic effect of the MCTs increases metabolism, helping to burn more calories each day. In addition to PGX Daily, Natural Factors also offers Slimstyles PGX Ultra Matrix Plus Smooth Digest. Slimstyles PGX Plus combines PGX with three effective herbs (fennel, anise and caraway) to help ease fi bre digestion and minimize the chance of minor side effects, such as increased gas or bloating. PGX helps promote healthy blood sugar levels by slowing digestion, reducing the glycemic index of your meals, and helping you get off the blood sugar roller coaster. PGX Daily and Slimstyles PGX Plus can help you lose weight safely and steadily, even if you aren’t quite ready to make other positive diet and lifestyle changes. PGX Daily and Slimstyles PGX Ultra Matrix Plus Smooth Digest “PGX helps promote healthy blood sugar levels by slowing digestion, reducing the glycemic index of your meals, and helping you get off the blood sugar roller coaster.” Live to 100... and feel great (MS) - Today, “actual age” and “physical age” are two different things. For those who care for their bodies, by following the easy dietary and exercise recommendations for anti-aging, it is possible to feel and look younger without drastic measures. Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon, author, and frequent guest on Oprah Winfrey’s program has shared his tips for turning back the clock and boosting health in the process with Oprah’s viewers. His approach is not new and can easily be adapted by anyone. Here are some top points to consider: · Choose healthy foods: Antioxidants are found in most dark fruits and vegetables, among other things help slow down or reverse the process of oxidation. The result can be reclaimed vitality and noticeable health improvements, such as the ability to fi ght against disease and certain cancers. A balanced diet will offer antioxidant-rich foods. Supplementing with a good multivitamin will offer consistent nutrient and vitamin intake, complementing the foods you eat. · Seeing red: Resveratrol, a component of red wine, is a powerful antioxidant contained in the skin of the grapes. Resveratrol is also found in red/purple grape juice products. It is known to slow down aging and increase endurance. It may also promote heart health. · Calcium is a must: Calcium is necessary for maintaining strong bones, which tend to become more brittle as one ages. However, taking calcium alone can contribute to constipation, which is why Dr. Oz recommends taking calcium with magnesium for optimal health. · Maintain internal plumbing: Staying young also involves making sure your intestines and bowels are working properly. You’ll need 25 grams of fi ber a day to get the job done. Unfortunately, that’s more than the average person eats. However, Fibre supplements support a healthy intestinal tract, colon and liver by helping to remove impurities and cleanse gently and naturally. · Don’t forget the exercise: Moderate daily exercise that takes inches off is also an essential component to anti-aging. Many people, however, fi nd that after a day at the offi ce they simply don’t have the energy to hit the gym. Many energy drinks are available making it more likely that you will be up to hitting the gym or going for that evening jog at the park. “The foods you eat can go a long way toward keeping you looking and feeling younger.” On behalf of Sequel Naturals, we would like to congratulate The Herbal Pathway on their 6 year anniversary.

A previous discussion on home- work guidelines led Durham Dis- trict School Board trustees to request that staff develop a par- ent survey similar to one it pres- ents to students. But the survey provided in response was based solely on homework. “I just think there’s been a bit of misinterpretation,” said Oshawa trustee Michael Barrett, chairman of the board’s stand- ing committee, during its June 1 meeting. “I think it’s part of the broader scope we were looking for as well.” The survey staff presented had 27 questions such as: do you feel competent to help your child with their homework; do you find homework interferes with family time; and how often do you help your child with their homework? Ajax trustee Lisa Hill suggest- ed adding a question on wheth- er parents are looking for more ways to be involved with home- work. If they misinterpreted trust- ees’ request for the survey, staff can go back and look again, said superintendent Luigia Ayotte. She doesn’t see how bullying and homework can be married into one survey, she added. Superintendent Joe Hircock is dealing with the bullying survey. He’s concerned if they combine them into one, parents will think it’s too long. Trustee Barrett asked for a draft timeline, but Ms. Ayotte was con- cerned about the time left in the school year to get it out and receive responses back. “We would really like to get it out sooner,” she said. Staff could work on compiling the survey’s results over the summer when they’re not as busy, she added, and make decisions for next year. But autumn might be more realistic if combining the bully- ing portion, said Martyn Beckett, director of education. Pickering trustee Chris Braney expressed concern information they receive at the beginning of the year might not be the same as that from the end. “I agree with trustee Braney,” said Pickering trustee Sherry Croteau. “You’re going to get the most honest accurate response this time of year.” Trustee Barrett suggested hav- ing staff come back next board meeting with information on when and how to do the survey so they can further considering splitting them.

It seems that students who attend summer classes not only achieve higher levels of academic skills (reading comprehension, writing and math) but also develop a positive outlook on school. Most parents (and classroom teachers) think the opposite is true. Imagine being able to improve mo- tivation by continuing some formal education programming throughout the summer. The reasons why this happens are both simple and com- plex. Learning consists of a series of purposeful activities: ac- tivities we can control and direct. Children must learn that it is possible to control and direct their own learning activities. Often, this is seen as an entirely new idea. Too many leave this control in the hands of the education system. They feel that it is their teachers’ responsibility to ‘teach’. They feel that teaching is active while learning is passive. This unfor- tunate mindset often carries over into the summer and winter holidays. If learning is the direct responsibility of the teacher and the classroom, then a vacation from these permits the stu- dent to let all responsibility for school and learning passively drift away. Education suffers and students drift backwards. They lose the academic gains that they made during the pre- vious year but, more importantly, they lose their ability and motivation to problem-solve and integrate information - to learn. As they drift, they lose self-esteem because they have relinquished control and direction and have lost key skills and learning strategies. Remember that school and school-based learning are ar- tifi cially constructed ideas. Even with a great teacher and an Staying Sharp All Summer II by R.N.Whitehead Ph.D interesting program, it is hard enough to get kids interested in problem-solving and clear writing. Throw in a wind- down month before summer holidays add two months of mindless holidays and follow this by a ‘ramp-up’ month (September) and you have an unmotivated and unfocused student. It is no wonder that kids resent returning to school and see it as an intrusion on their lives. However, for kids who have attended a properly constructed summer program - like those at Oxford Learning - one that will help them develop their thinking and learning habits while reinforc- ing and building upon existing academic skills, this loss of momentum and motivation does not occur. Yes! Summer allows wonderful new possibilities. It is an opportunity for our children to develop new skills, make new friends and experience new challenges. If parents take care to blend both recreation and academics, summer can be a wonderful growth time for all. Students will be prepared physically, emotionally and academically for a successful return to school in the fall. Our wish for you and your chil- dren this summer - have fun - be safe - learn. Oxford Learning is Canada’s leading provider of supple- mental and enrichment education services, offering individ- ualized learning programs year round and fun Brain Camps in the summer. Help your child enjoy learning this summer and return to school in September with improved skills and greater confi dence.

Calls from dispatchers with Oshawa Fire Services sent a flurry of firefighters to the scene, Oshawa Fire Chief Steve Meringer got a call to come in on his day off and Durham Regional Police set up a perimeter and began going door- to-door to urge evacuations. A mobile command centre was set up on site, calls were made to CP rail officials to determine what the train was carrying and a police media spokesperson began field- ing inquiries from newspapers, radio and TV stations across the GTA. At the same time, the City and Region deployed resources from various departments -- social ser- vice workers and nurses to over- see an evacuee centre at the South Oshawa Community Centre, pub- lic transit buses to transport evac- uees, and works department staff to set up road barricades and pro- vide sand to cover a diesel spill. City staff also prepared an emer- gency operations centre, although it wasn’t needed. The officials involved haven’t done their de-briefings yet, but all agree communications between the various agencies -- and with the public -- were effective. “At the very beginning it was hard, we were just arriving on scene and there were onlookers on the bridge and walking around, there were people in their homes, so it was a challenge to make sure the public knew what to do,” Chief Meringer said. “But for the size and complexity of the incident, I think everything went very well. All the different agencies communicated, and we got the information to the public on what they needed to do.” Both the City of Oshawa and Region of Durham have emer- gency management plans that lay out who calls who and who does what in the event of a man-made or natural disaster. In this case, the City’s fire services staff took the lead, because there was the poten- tial for hazardous materials to be involved, while Durham Regional Police tackled communications with the media and the public. “We have a media relations officer available full time, so it’s accepted protocol that the police do the news releases and the com- munications,” said Sergeant Jim Grimley, DRPS emergency mea- sures officer. While the City and Region also have communications staff avail- able, the consensus is that one, singular spokesperson is the best strategy. “In some cases, communication with the public was a little slow- er than I would have liked, I had people coming up to me and ask- ing questions like, ‘my pet is still at the house what should I do?’ So we have to work on that,” said Oshawa Mayor John Gray. “But, I think, overall everyone did a really excellent job.” The mayor said his only real con- cern stemmed from City coun- cillors jumping into the fray and commenting to the media on the incident. He said in an emergency, the mayor or his designate are the only ones that should be acting as spokespeople. “Some of the information they provided was inaccurate, like say- ing people could go back to their homes when they couldn’t, it was problematic,” Mayor Gray said. Councillor Robert Lutczyk, one of the councillors who provided media commentary on Friday, said he was just doing his job. “People were calling me, and coming up to me asking for my comments, so I provided com- ments, like I always do,” he said. All the different agencies communicated, and we got the information to the public on what they needed to do. Oshawa Fire Chief Steve Meringer TRAIN DERAILMENT Dealing with disaster BY STEFANIE SWINSON sswinson@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The federal Transpor- tation Safety Board is getting closer to finding the cause of Friday’s train derailment in Oshawa. Don Mustard, the investigator in charge, said a broken axle on the train, which was en route to Toronto from Smith Falls, may to be blame, along with some dam- age on the Canadian Pacific Rail- way tracks approaching the point of derailment. “We’re now trying to ascertain the details of why it failed, how it failed, and what processes are in place,” Mr. Mustard said. “We need to determine at what location the axle began to fail.” Twenty-seven train cars were involved in the derailment, becom- ing entangled under the Park Road bridge. “About eight cars are still remain- ing,” Mike LoVecchio, spokesman for CP, said Monday. “Those will be broken up and shipped by rail or dump truck to our main yard in Toronto.” People stopped along the bridge Monday to look at the work being done below, but Jason Gibson didn’t need a bird’s eye view to see the destruction. Several train cars ripped through the Oshawa resident’s back yard, leaving behind quite a large mess; both his fence and shed were ruined. “My son was playing right over there 20 minutes before the train did come,” Mr. Gibson said, point- ing to the end of his yard, to a tree- house his seven-year-old son loves to spend time in. “We were lucky. I don’t think he’ll be going to play out there anytime soon. He’s scared.” He said he hasn’t heard from any- one at CP about when his yard will get cleaned up but said he hoped he wouldn’t have to do it. Mr. LoVecchio said CP will hand- deliver letters Tuesday to residents who had to leave their homes over the weekend. “We’ve got fences to rebuild, yards to repair and a community we want to rebuild a relationship with,” he said. “Once the debris is gone around the tracks, we’ll get to it right away. The residents are very important to us.” The Transportation Safety Board conducted a field investiga- tion at the derailment site on Fri- day but might not know a definite cause for quite awhile. “It is a very extended process.” RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- A Durham Police officer blocked off an area near Park Road and Grenfell Street after a massive train derailment on the CP line June 5. REKA SZEKELY / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Residents got a perfect up-close view of the train car wreckage from the Park Road bridge after it was re-opened on June 7, two days after the derailment. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 200917 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com OFSAA TRACK AND FIELD JUNE 21 Ajax Boxing Club hosts Father’s Day Brawl AJAX -- Members of the Ajax Boxing Club are preparing for the next big date on the calendar: Father’s Day.

The 11-year-old from Pickering won the gold medal on the 1-metre springboard and bronze on the 3-metre at the Provincial Diving Championships that were held this past weekend in Scarborough. Dobson is a member of the Scar- borough Diving Club. Just recently, the Grade 5 student at Frenchman’s Bay Public School won a bronze medal at the Provincial Gym- nastics Championships that were held in Windsor, and followed that with a silver at the Eastern Canadians held in Newfoundland. Pickering High School track and field team wins boys and girls overall points championship BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Track and field athletes at Pickering High School proved that the unthinkable is attainable at the OFSAA provincial champion- ships held at Varsity Centre in Toronto. With 37 athletes competing, the school won the daily double of sorts, capturing the over- all girls title with 67 points, 16 clear of second place Mother Teresa, while the boys duplicated the feat with 80 points, four better than North- ern. “Winning one is hard enough, but winning two -- you just don’t do those things,” said head coach Cyril Sahadath. The two titles give Pickering eight in total over the years at OFSAA track and field, with the boys claiming six of them and the girls a pair. In addition to the boys, girls and combined team titles, athletes also set a number of other benchmarks, including: two new OFSAA records; 11 golds, two silver and three bronze; junior boys team champions (47 points); and became the second school in OFSAA history to win eight or more team championships. Sahadath said a lot of the success the school has had over the years can be attributed to the coaching. “The coaching stays the same and the kids move in an out every four years,” he says. “We have a good program that’s specifically orient- ed to some events and we go from there. Our forte is our hurdles, sprints, relays and jumps. “The formula doesn’t change. It’s the kids who are constantly changing.” A couple of the biggest contributors to the titles came from the youngest members, as ninth graders Noelle Leon-Palmer and Maya Daly combined for eight trips to the medal podium. Leon-Palmer won four gold medals, while Daly had two golds and two bronze. A couple of the relay teams turned in impres- sive performances, including the 4x100m Midget boys’ team of Matthew Anane, Omari Morris, Oshane Thompson and Stefan Saini who set a new OFSAA record with a clocking of 44.51, and the Open girls’ 4x400m team of Daly, Leon-Palmer, Adriana Allen and Kath- erine Lawrence, who were clocked at 3:55.14, the best time in Canada for a high school team. Individually, Xavier King was a double medal- list with gold in the Junior boys 3000m and sil- ver in the 1500m. Sahadath said that if not for a couple of botched handoffs in the relay events, the level of success would have been even higher. With some of the athletes having completed their high school careers, a whole new crop will be coming in next year to continue a tradition of success that builds each year at the school. “The athletic excellence at Pickering High School is in football, basketball, track and field and baseball,” said Sahadath. “Kids understand that. They know coming here. “If you want to belong to those teams, there’s a way you’re going to have to play and this is how you are going to have to act.” As a testament to the success of the team, 11 athletes have been invited to compete at the same venue Thursday as part of the high school showcase for the Festival of Excellence meet, which will feature world record holder Usain Bolt in the marquee 100m race. On track to rewrite history CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND AJAX -- Pickering High School track and field athletes won the overall boys and girls points total at the OFSAA track and field meet held June 4, 5 and 6 at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 200918 AP Ajax, Pickering schools do well BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ironic that the team that travelled the farthest to com- pete, made the trek worthwhile by advancing all the way to the gold medal soccer game. Unfortunately for the Denis O’Connor girls’ soccer team, the medal of colour they fetched was silver in a 2-1 loss that was decided by a shootout at the OFSAA Dou- ble-A championships in Kenora. Sarah Mathews had the only goal in the gold medal game for Denis O’Connor, who strung together five wins in a row to reach the final. The round robin produced three of those wins with decisions of 2- 1 over St. Christopher, 12-0 over Lakeshore Collegiate and 2-0 over Ecole Secondary to finish first in their division. In the quarterfinal, a 3-1 win over Holy Cross pushed them into the semifinals, where a 1-0 blanking of St. Joseph’s guaran- teed a shot at the gold medal. Coach Lui Sposato was unavail- able for comment as the team made the more than 22-hour trek home from the tournament, and weren’t expected back until late Tuesday (after our deadline). The St. Mary girls’ soccer team reached the quarterfinals of the Quad-A tournament in Niagara Falls, despite fielding a roster com- prised of mostly junior aged play- ers after many of the seniors had to depart for prom on Friday night. The senior roster opened the tournament with a split on Day 1, dropping a 2-1 decision to St. Anne but bouncing back with a 3-1 vic- tory over St. Elizabeth. With a roster laden with callups from the Junior squad on Day 2, St. Mary prevailed 3-2 over Innisdale to close out the round robin and reach the quarter- finals, but bowed out to St. Mary of Kitchener 1-0. “We invited seven girls from the Junior soccer team to supplement our OFSAA roster, and were very impressed with the grit and deter- mination they demonstrated dur- ing our pool play game Friday morning against Innisdale and our quarterfinal against St. Mary,” said coach Melanie Cayford. “While a medal of any colour would have been a fantastic reward for (us), it was still a heartbreaker to lose 1-0 with only minutes left in the quar- terfinal. I’m extremely proud of the girls and hope the OFSAA experi- ence is merely a glimpse of the pos- sibilities for next season.” Last year St. Mary lost in double overtime of the gold medal game. Another team to reach the quar- terfinals on the pitch was Denis O’Connor, a Double-A school that moved up the ladder a couple of categories to compete at the Quad- A boys’ soccer championship in Toronto. In pool play, Denis O’Connor fin- ished first with three straight wins, beating St. Theresa Lisieux 2-0, Dante Alighiere Academy 3-0 and York Mills C.I. 3-1. The run ended in the quarterfi- nals as Ryan Lyn counted the only goal in a 2-1 setback to Cardinal Newman. “It was pretty upsetting to go out in the quarters,” said coach Shaun Griffith, whose team incurred some bad luck in the playoff round. After finishing first in Pool C, Denis O’Connor lost to the second place finisher in Pool D in the quarter- final crossover, while St. There- sa Lisieux, who finished behind Denis O’Connor in Pool C, beat St. Michael’s College, the first place finisher in Pool D. “In some ways it makes you feel that maybe we should have shot for second place, but it’s the luck of the draw,” joked Griffith. The last of the OFSAA entries came from Pickering at the girls’ Triple-A/Quad-A rugby champi- onships in Brampton. Pickering opened with a 16-10 win over Den- ison, but subsequent losses of 12-7 to Lakeshore Catholic and 25-0 to Mayfield prevented the team from advancing into medal round play.

BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- Priscilla Lopes- Schliep is happy to be home. And even more happy to be a part of the inaugural Festival of Excel- lence track and field meet at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Sta- dium Thursday night, where she will line up and compete in the 100m hurdles event. “It’s great to be racing at home, and to be in front of family and friends, basically my home crowd because it’s so close,” the Whitby native said this week. Much of the hype leading up to the event has been geared towards Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who dominated at last summer’s Olym- pic Games in Beijing, setting mul- tiple world records, including one in the men’s 100m event, the same race he will headline Thursday. However, with Lopes-Schliep, the bronze medal winner in the 100m hurdles at the 2008 Games, and Pickering’s Perdita Felicien anchor- ing the lineup in that event, come start time many eyes will be on the two Durham Region track stars. Though Lopes-Schliep is consid- ered the favourite, Felicien told The Toronto Star recently she relishes the underdog position. “I like pressure. I feel like I can thrive under pressure,” she told reporter Randy Starkman. “I can handle it well, but I am finding my need to be the underdog and not being the favourite and having the expectations.” And while it’s natural to break down the event as a Priscilla versus Perdita show, Lopes-Schliep insists it’s not about that. “I’ve just treated it like (she’s) another athlete and another com- petitor. You step on track, you go out there and get on the blocks and you try to get to that line first,” she said. Lopes-Schliep, Felicien and the rest of the 100m hurdles field are slated to race at 8:04 p.m., while Bolt and seven others, including Pickering’s Anson Henry, will run the men’s 100m at 8:21 p.m. The News Advertiser will be on hand to cover the event.
