Brad Duguid, who recently took on the job previously held by George Smitherman, addressed the issue in front of a crowd of business and political leaders at a breakfast organized by the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, held at the Ajax Convention Cen- tre. “Just in case there’s any doubt at all, I want to assure you we’re still very committed to building two new nuclear units in Darling- ton,” said Mr. Duguid. Last summer, Mr. Smitherman announced the Province was suspending the procure- ment process for the new reactors because of concerns over cost and the ownership of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the man- ufacturers of the CANDU reactors currently used in Pickering and Darlington and the only company deemed by the government to have submitted a fully compliant bid. AECL is a crown corporation, but the federal gov- ernment is considering privatizing portions of the company. Mr. Duguid said he did not have an announcement Monday about when the process to build the new reactors would resume. “We just want to make sure we’re get- ting the best possible deal for the people of Ontario.” In response to questions, Mr. Duguid said the Province wants the federal govern- ment to backstop AECL so that Ontario isn’t assuming all the risk. He was quick to clarify he wasn’t speaking of safety risk. Risks can include increased costs to the project, additional time for construction and technology not working as expected. Even with the procurement process cur- rently in limbo, Mr. Duguid reiterated the Province intends to move forward with new nuclear build. “There is no indecisiveness, if there was, we wouldn’t have enacted the procurement process in the first place,” he said. In his speech, Mr. Duguid also commend- ed Durham officials for not politicizing the recent decision to refurbish reactors at the Darlington nuclear plant and to decommis- sion the Pickering nuclear plant in 10 years. Instead, he said, local officials provided sup- port and important advice. “Thank you for doing what is in the best interest of Ontarians ... it takes a certain amount of courage to do that.” Following Mr. Duguid’s speech, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said the minis- ter’s remarks on new build were reassuring. “It’s obvious that the minister and the gov- ernment are committed to moving forward,” said Mr. Anderson, adding the next step is for the federal government to come on board by supporting AECL. Mr. Anderson did caution, however, that timing would be a factor. “Once Pickering closes, they’re going to need a replacement and it’s going to take 10 years to build this. If not, the Province is going to have an energy problem bigger than any- thing we’ve seen before.” In addition to nuclear, Mr. Duguid dis- cussed what he called the bold leadership of Premier Dalton McGuinty in planning for a greener future, frequently making references to sports and the Olympics. “We’re in the midst of a very important race, the race to build a low-carbon econo- my.” Mr. Duguid also spoke about the Green Energy Act and the decision to close Ontar- io’s coal-fired plants, calling it the single big- gest carbon-reduction plan in North Ameri- ca. He also discussed the recently announced deal with Samsung which will see the Kore- an company build wind and solar farms in Ontario and four manufacturing plants for wind and solar equipment. “That agreement means a $7-billion invest- ment in renewable energy in Ontario,” he said.

Although the applicant’s proposal was endorsed by planning staff, councillors didn’t even introduce the item to be dis- cussed at the meeting. Therefore, it’s out of council’s hands. “I think it was the right decision,” said resi- dent Norma Chittenden after the meeting. The applicants felt differently. “It’s not a very constructive way for coun- cil to deal with something and it leaves this applicant no choice but to go to the OMB,” said Gary Templeton, a planning consultant representing applicant Vijay Gupta of Land- Pro Engineering. Mr. Templeton said he advised his client to call his lawyer as soon as possible. The City has been tackling the issue for more than two years. The proposed subdi- vision would be west of Rosebank Road to the Canadian National Railroad Lands to the east, Gillmoss Road to the south and north of Cowan Circle. The plans call for 34 detached dwellings on lot frontages of 11 metres. The Rosebank Neighbourhood Official Plan allows for minimum lot frontages of 18 metres. Residents and members of the South Rose- bank Working Group shared concerns at the meeting. Ms. Chittenden said the lot-size reduction is inappropriate, not only in terms preserv- ing the integrity of the neighourhood, but also as it could accelerate increased traffic. “Cramming homes in small areas is not the answer,” said Ms. Chittenden. Staff noted Macklin Monaghan Group Inc. conducted a traffic study and found there will not be problems. Residents also shared concerns surround- ing the messy roads from the construction vehicles, safety concerns to children as con- struction equipment will be hauled through the neighbourhood with two schools, and the sanitary sewage pumping station upgrade. The consensus among residents Monday was to fix the station before building new houses. The area will see another subdivision in the neighbourhood, which the community fought at the OMB last year. Although the board approved the subdivision, it granted a number of amendments that made the com- munity happy, such as 15-metre frontages, according to Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell. Residents are not opposed to development in the area, but fear the two subdivisions and the upgrade of the pumping station could take place at one time. “It’s going to be a nightmare,” said Kate Cherrett, a longtime area resident. Ms. Cherrett is also concerned for the wild- life in the area. “Tree preservation and wildlife are going to be irrevocably disturbed and we’ve been given no information on how to lessen that impact,” she said. Although the TRCA said in a letter it feels the development will not impact existing or abutting natural features, it still expressed concern with the loss of woodland that will ensue. TRCA, city staff and the owners have agreed to solve the issue by the owner fund- ing the planting of trees in areas that won’t be disturbed. Coun. O’Connell was prepared to make a number of amendments to the plans Mon- day night. Since council didn’t introduce the application, she feels it showed council’s support of the community. If the matter does go to the OMB, she’s hopeful the board will consider amendments, as it did in last year’s case. Warm welcome planned for Olympic medalist PICKERING -- The City of Pickering plans to give a warm welcome to the resident who powered her bobsled down an icy track to capture a silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Shelley-Ann Brown and her partner Helen Upperton placed second at the Olympics just behind the winning finish of fellow Canadi- ans Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse. Mayor Dave Ryan congratulated Ms. Brown on behalf of the City and Council. “She represents the very best of athlet- ics: pride, determination, humility, and most of all hard work,” he said. “We believe that through her brilliant example, she has inspired a new generation of young athletes to pursue their personal best.” Ms. Brown currently resides in Calgary to practise her sport, and the date of her return to Pickering is not yet set. But the City plans to hold a special ceremony for the athlete at a future council meeting. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 4, 20105 www.durhamcollege.ca/coned | 905.721.3063 CONTINUING EDUCATION Workplace Leadership Certificate The Workplace Leadership Certificate will provide you with practical and transferable managerial skills, attitudes, behaviours and knowledge which can be valuable in obtaining and retaining careers in today’s fast-changing management environment.

Uxbridge’s Hal-lee Jones and J.T. Har- shaw waited patiently for the results to be announced. “It’s kind of stressful, you’re trying to fit everything you can do into a very restrained period of time,” said the latter student. Mr. Cavallero noted the presentation of the food was “fantastic” but admitted not all the creations tasted as good as they looked. “Overall, you guys did a good job, I hope you guys enjoy what you’re doing,” he said to the students. Earlier he noted of the competitors, “Hopefully they’ll go on to make a career for themselves because they all seem pretty confident.” Winning third place was Ashley Windle, of Oshawa Collegiate, while J.T. Harshaw, of Uxbridge, won second. The winner, Iffat Naeem of Pine Ridge Secondary, is to take part in a provincial competition in May, according to school staff. “It feels amazing,” said the Pickering stu- dent of the win. “I thought I did all right, but didn’t think I was going to win ... I think I will take this (skill) to a job in a bakery.” Although Uxbridge Secondary didn’t top the baking contest, Amanda Harper, repre- senting the school, won a regional cooking competition on Feb. 22 with her creations, including stuffed chicken breast, maple- glazed carrots, and parsnip soup, she said.

Instead of bickering over who should be the recipients of any revenue from Ajax Downs, maybe we should consider the poor individuals who are sinking their pay- cheques and savings into the slot machines that create the revenue that you’re all fight- ing over. It’s not the occasional Saturday night player who spends $20 or $30 which cre- ates the enormous revenues that we are seeing, it’s those unfortunate individuals with addictions who do. It’s pathetic that the OLG gets away with encouraging such a thing, and building casinos in residential areas in order to cre- ate revenue. Shame on you. Dawn Anthony Ajax THEFT Please return my son’s PSP To the editor: My son Alex had his PSP (Sony Play- station Portable) stolen during a Grade 11 baking class at Pine Ridge Secondary School Thursday, Feb. 25 right out of his backpack. While I realize that the school has made every effort to inform students not to bring valuables to school, this was clearly a mis- judgment on his part. It is silver and had a Rock Band Unplugged game with it. I don’t understand what we are teach- ing our kids today or not, but stealing is a crime and it’s a shame, especially in light of the unified pride that we shared during the Olympics in this country. This was a gift from his sister to celebrate the conclusion of his cancer treatments. He has not been able to tell her so I implore parents to please check to see what their teenagers are playing with today and if it’s something new to them and fits this description. Please do the honourable thing and drop it off at the school office with our name on it. It would be a valuable lesson to the one who has it and its value to us is sentimen- tal, over and above the price paid.

Sandy Plese, Clarington A bit of clarity was provided by the pro- vincial government to Durham Region pol- iticians Monday when Ontario Energy and Infrastructure Minister Brad Duguid paid a visit to talk about the future of nuclear power in Durham Region. And though Mr. Duguid didn’t provide details about the refurbishment of exist- ing nuclear reactors or the construction of new ones at the Darlington site in Claring- ton, or the decommissioning plans for the aging Pickering site, he made it clear that the Province remains committed to the future of nuclear power here at home. That’s small comfort to some Durham politicians after seeing the procurement process delayed last year by Mr. Duguid’s predecessor, leaving the process in limbo. This visit served to reassure decision- makers here, particularly municipal coun- cillors from Pickering and Clarington, but also gave the minister an opportunity to make his case for reasons behind the delay. The construction of reactors, the produc- tion and distribution of nuclear energy, as anyone knows, is highly complicated and highly expensive. The Province, quite prop- erly, is seeking assurances from the federal government that it will be at the table and support the Crown corporation respon- sible for the build and the CANDU reac- tors that will generate the nuclear power, Atomic Energy Canada Limited. The federal government, of course, should not only be at the table, but leading the charge for the next-generation reac- tors. It should be providing some guaran- tees that it will be a partner in confronting cost overruns, or construction delays, or technological challenges. As well, the host municipalities must con- tinue to take a long view for both sites and work with Ontario Power Generation, the AECL, higher levels of government and the nuclear industry to ensure that jobs relat- ed to both the new build and the decom- missioning process in Pickering provides quality, long-term jobs. And though nuclear power continues to be a preferred, safe and proven energy, we also encourage and welcome the develop- ment of alternative forms of power genera- tion, the expansion of solar and wind proj- ects, and wholesale closure of highly pol- luting coal-fired generation stations. Some of those alternatives should be developed in lockstep with the nuclear option here at home as well to ensure sus- tainable jobs and sustainable energy. There’s a long way to go yet, not least of which is the ongoing procurement pro- cess. Nuclear power generation is here to stay in Durham Region. It employs thousands in high-paying, high-tech jobs, fosters innovation and powers much of Ontario. Let’s keep moving the process forward.

A woman told Durham cops she was walking two Pomeranians in the area of Pine Grove and Woodview ave- nues at about 9:55 p.m. when a coyote approached from behind and grabbed one of the dogs before dashing off into the woods. The coyote was seen sometime later on Woodview Avenue, but there was no sign of the dog, police said. The woman and the second dog were not injured. The incident prompted police to remind residents that wildlife does occasionally appear in developed areas and that safety measures should be fol- lowed. Police suggest carrying a whistle or some other device to frighten coyotes and in the event you do encounter one, remain calm and back away slowly. If a coyote poses an immediate threat, call 911.

U Weight Loss is the fastest growing weight loss company in Canada for a reason because we constantly aim to improve our clients’ quality of life and not only help them lose weight, but get healthier in the process. At U Weight Loss we help our clients in the prevention and management of many degenerative diseases through our innovative weight loss program, one of which is heart- related conditions. Obesity is a global epidemic and it not only effects adults, but also children. It increases the risk factors for many degenerative diseases including, but not limited to cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers and is in fact associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality as well as reduced life expectancy.

In addition to having two of the 18 teams hailing from Ajax and considered contenders, there will be another six strong entries from the Greater Toronto Area taking part in the three-day tournament being held at the cam- pus of Durham College and UOIT. For O’Neill Collegiate teacher Mike Ken- nelly, who’s the convener, he hopes that will help draw the fans. “We’re anticipating about 275 to 300 of the top players and coaches in the province com- ing,” says Kennelly, who’s heading a commit- tee that includes other teachers at O’Neill, plus from Ajax High, Dunbarton, Pine Ridge and J. Clarke Richardson. “We’re very excit- ed because of the entries from the Greater Toronto Area. LOSSA, our area, gets two bids automatically. We’re looking at approximately eight teams all within the GTA, so we’re hop- ing that we’ll have a big crowd that will come out and support it.” Although seeding wasn’t to be finalized until Wednesday night (after our deadline), chanc- es are the Pickering Trojans will be near the top. The Trojans won an OFSAA bronze last year and a gold the year before that, and won this year’s LOSSA championship 83-74 over Ajax rival J. Clarke Richardson Storm, themselves considered one of the best. The Storm, who spent some time atop the Toronto Star’s coaches poll of GTA teams, secured the second LOSSA berth by beating Notre Dame 95-77 in a play-in game Monday. “Pickering was the bronze medalist last year and won the gold medal the year before, so they’re always in the mix, and J. Clarke has won some major tournaments this year, so they’re looking pretty good as well,” says Ken- nelly, sizing up the OFSAA competition. Among the others expected to be a factor are Oakwood Collegiate and Eastern Commerce from Toronto, Mother Teresa of Scarborough, Vaughan Secondary from Thornhill and St. Marguerite D’Youville from Brampton. The championship banquet will be held Sunday at the Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa, with TSN’s Dan O’Toole serving as master of cer- emonies and Canadian basketball Olympian Rowan Barrett the guest speaker. The tournament begins Monday and the gold medal game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. All games are being held at DC/ UOIT. “Ken Babcock and his staff (at DC/UOIT) have been fantastic in terms of supporting us and helping it get organized,” says Kennelly. “The goal of the committee was to make it as an enjoyable and awesome experience as possible for the players, so we’ve really tried to make it almost like a college level type of championship.” JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Coming up for air PICKERING -- Taylor Hart, from Ajax High School, competed in the 200-metre freestyle relay during the LOSSA finals held at the Pickering Recreation Complex. HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL J. Clarke, Pickering among best HOCKEY Vella, Chappell reach Hockey East championship PICKERING -- A couple of former teammates could be foes on the ice this weekend. Jessica Vella, a freshman with Providence College, and Kailey Chap- pell, also a freshman with the University of New Hampshire, will be competing in the 2010 Hockey East Championship Tournament this weekend in Burling- ton, Vermont. Vella’s Providence team earned the right to serve as hosts for the championship weekend after finish- ing in first place to claim its third regular season championship title. Because of their first place fin- ish, Providence received a bye to this week’s championship, as did New Hampshire, who finished second in the regular season. Providence will face Connecticut in the first semifinal on Saturday after- noon, followed by New Hampshire against Boston University. The winners will meet in Sunday’s championship game. Both Vella and Chappell were teammates with the Junior Durham Lightning. BASKETBALL DCBA holding registration AJAX -- The DCBA will be holding registrations for a March Break camp and its Spring House League. The registration date is Monday, March 8 from 6-8 p.m. at Eagle Ridge Public School, 425 Delaney Dr., in Ajax.
