PICKERING -- Brothers Alexander and Nicholas Abboud declared these ribs the best as they chowed down at the second annual
Pickering Ribfest. 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pickin’, not grinnin’
PICKERING -- Brian O’Sullivan entertained the crowd during the
annual Whitevale Spring Festival in north Pickering on May 23.
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

Coun. McLean said he made
sure to get a fence put in his back-

“There are people ... who

FRENCHMAN’S BAY STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN
NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
The City of Pickering and the Waterfront Coordinating Committee
are dedicated to seeing the waterfront become a place that achieves
a wide range of objectives including public use and recreation,
environmental sustainability, enhanced tourism and commercial
linkages.
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 Master Plan is available
for review at the following locations:

AP ‘Buy American’ campaign has Durham worried
Region wants
Canadian
government
to intervene
DURHAM -- Durham Region is
getting behind an effort to aid
Canadian companies being shut
out of most of the U.S. govern-
ment stimulus package.
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

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.

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.

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.

AP Public school board survey in the works for parents
Trustees want more
questions added
before it’s sent out
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Trustees are looking for
questions about bullying to be added to
a parent survey, delaying its administra-
tion.
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.

Education ADVERTISING FEATURE
Recently, a large Ontario school board released an interest-
ing study. 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. Visit http://www.oxfordlearning.com

Officials say communication was smooth
Train derailment puts
Region’s emergency
preparedness plan
into action
BY JILLIAN FOLLERT
jfollert@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- When a Canadi-
an Pacific train derailed in south
Oshawa Friday, it set off a chain
reaction of carefully choreo-
graphed communications and
protocols.
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.”

PICKERING -- Two-sport athlete
Vicky Dobson continues to find her way
to the medal podium.
The 11-year-old from Pickering
won the gold medal on the 1-metre

at the Provincial Diving Championships
that were held this past weekend in
Scarborough.
Dobson is a member of the Scar-

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

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.

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. Visit news-
durhamregion.com and read Fri-
day’s paper’s for full coverage.
