Now, a seweage pipe is going less than 500 metres away from the farm. Ms. Burkholder’s concerned the odour control facility is going to be built 150 metres away from a local menonite church that is now a heritage building. Big Pipe fight goes to Queen’s Park PICKERING RESIDENTS ASK PROVINCE TO RECONSIDER BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Betty Burkholder’s 100-acre farm has been in the family since 1833. She never thought the expansion of the ‘Big Pipe’ that will go less than 500 metres from her farm would actually be approved. “It just seemed like right would prevail,” she said in an interview. But in April, the Minister of the Environ- ment, John Gerretsen, approved the environ- mental assessment of the York-Durham San- itary Sewer expansion, despite outcry from Pickering residents, politicians, and even environmental lawyers and advocates that live outside of the area. The opponents are not ready to back down yet.

Whether already familiar with the song ‘Takin’ Care of Business’ or learning it for the first time, everyone was eager to break the record. “It’s a Guinness world record so let’s give it a shot,” said Kevin Lane, who has been playing gui- tar for nearly 10 years. “It’d be nice to be a part of something.” Prior to making the attempt residents were treated to per- formances by a number of Juno Award winners, including Jack DeKeyser and former Guess Who band member Dale Russell. Also on stage for the record attempt was guitarist Tim Millar from Protest the Hero, a band that got its start in Whitby. “I always want to be involved and active in encouraging people of all ages to play,” he said. “You don’t go to many concerts where you’re encouraged to bring your guitar and also have a chance to be a part of the world record.” While those who showed up put on their best rock performance there just weren’t enough guitar players in attendance to smash the current record, with under 1,400 guitar enthusiasts making it out. “We fell far short of that 6,000 record,” said organizer Rick Forsey, who had been working on the proj- ect for about two years. But that hasn’t deterred him. “Part of our attempt was to bring people together in support of War Child, maybe not in a record-break- ing version, but certainly commu- nity spirit, music celebration,” he said. He’s been talking with the non- profit organization in hopes of putting on a yearly event to help raise funds in support of war-affected children.

Rick Forsey Third conviction for Chalmers JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Crown is seeking a lengthy prison term for a repeat offender who recently pleaded guilty to an ambush- style shooting in Ajax. Malcolm Chalmers, already serving time for an unrelated shooting that left an inno- cent bystander blinded, is a repeat offend- er who deserves a lengthy term of incar- ceration, prosecutor Isabel Pargana said during a sentencing hearing Thursday in Oshawa. “What we have here is someone who has chosen criminality as a lifestyle,” Ms. Parga- na told Superior Court Justice Alfred Stong. “These are choices he’s made repeatedly.” Mr. Chalmers’s offences show a pattern of “hanging around with other young peo- ple and getting into trouble where other people get shot,” the prosecutor said. Ms. Pargana is seeking a penitentiary term of 12 to 14 years, which she wants to run consecutively to the nine-year term Mr. Chalmers is currently serving. Mr. Chalmers, 23, pleaded guilty last month to aggravated assault, kidnapping and weapons charges relating to a Septem- ber, 2007 shooting in Ajax that left one man with serious wounds to his leg. In enter- ing the plea Mr. Chalmers admitted he was part of a group that abducted a young man off the street in Toronto and drove him at gunpoint to Ajax, where they forced him to call a friend for a meeting. When the young man showed up bullets flew. Mr. Chalmers and his co-accused, Chris- topher Jones, entered pleas in the midst of a jury trial in mid-April. The jury had already heard several weeks of testimony when the case abruptly ended with con- victions. Ms. Pargana recommended a nine-year prison term for Mr. Jones. Mr. Chalmers has now been convicted of aggravated assault three times for shoot- ing incidents, the most high-profile case a 2005 incident in which he fired a gun into a Toronto Transit Commission bus, striking the driver and leaving him nearly blind. He was sentenced in January of this year to nine years for that offence. And Mr. Chalmers had just been released from jail for another shooting offence when he was involved in the Ajax shooting, Ms. Pargana said. The prosecutor called for strong con- demnation of the Ajax incident, noting its was “pure luck” that no innocent bystand- ers were hurt when bullets started flying. “The bottom line is you cannot arm your- self with a handgun and step onto a resi- dential street and just start shooting,” she said. The sentencing hearing continues. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20103 ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING FOR EMPLOYEES • Business Writing (emails, business letters and reports) • Oral Communication and Listening Strategies • Canadian Workplace Culture EMPLOYER BENEFITS • Increased ability to effectively communicate with employees • Enhanced employee oral and written communication skills • Increased employee confi dence and productivity • Customized to workplace needs • English language profi ciency assessment • On or off-site training • No fee service English@Work Durham Continuing Education 1400 Bayly Street, Unit 1 Pickering 905.831.3118 dceinfo@durham.edu.on.ca www.dce.ca AT YOUR OFFICE OR OUR CAMPUS IT’S GOOD FOR BUSINESS Do You Employ Newcomers to Canada?

Shortly after midnight May 27, two suspects entered the Pizza Pizza out- let at Westney and Kingston roads, one keeping watch by the door while the other hopped the counter and accosted employees, claiming he had a gun, Dur- ham police said. No one was hurt. A search of the area by a canine team and the police helicopter failed to locate the suspects, who are described as black men in their late 20s. Man approaching women in Ajax AJAX -- Police are trying to identify a man who’s been approaching young women in Ajax. Six women have contacted Dur- ham police this month to report unset- tling interactions with the man, who approaches women in residential areas and engages them in conversation from the driver’s seat of his car. No physi- cal contact has occurred and no one has been hurt by the man. Police said he offers the women rides or makes “odd but not offensive” comments. He’s described as a thin, brown-skinned man in his 20s who drives a small grey or white vehicle, believed to be a Honda.

Several charges have been laid against two men and a woman in the wake of the incident, which arose from a disturbance at the Rossland Road courthouse just before 3 p.m. Police seized a tape recorder from one of the suspects, and also found a utility knife with a four-inch blade inside a knap- sack. Durham police said a uniformed cop responding to a report of a dis- ruption called for help after becoming involved in a struggle with a Pickering man outside a courtroom. The sus- pect’s supporters, a man and woman from North York, became involved and the man was subdued with a Taser when he resisted arrest, police said. The Pickering man, 31, along with a woman, 27, and a 33-year-old man, are all charged with obstructing justice, causing a disturbance and assault with intent to resist arrest. The Pickering man also faces weapons charges. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20105 AP REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHARGES On June 23, 2010 the Council of the Region of Durham will hold a public meeting, pursuant to Section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997.

Proposed legislation includes whistle- blower protection, new monetary fines JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Two months after a freight train derailed in his city, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is praising proposed federal leg- islation to beef up rail safety in Canada. Mayor Ryan was among a crowd of politicians who gath- ered at the Oshawa GO station on June 1, for an announce- ment by Rob Merrifield, Minis- ter of State for Transport. “One derailment is one too many,” Mr. Merrifield said. “We have to do everything we possi- bly can to stop it.” The government plans to intro- duce legislation in the House of Commons “very shortly,” which contains several amendments to the Rail Safety Act. They include new monetary penalties and increased judi- cial penalties for those who vio- late the act, strengthened safe- ty requirements for rail com- panies, whistle-blower protec- tions and a requirement that each railway has an executive who is legally responsible for safety. “This is exactly what we asked for,” Mayor Ryan said, referenc- ing a meeting he had with Mr. Merrifield and Transport Min- ister John Baird in April, after a CN freight train jumped the tracks near the Pickering GO station on March 30. “I’m very pleased about all the key points in the legislation. The whistle-blower protection will really help, because there are a lot of people on the inside who know what’s going on, and know what might be a safety concern.” Mr. Merrifield wouldn’t go into specifics on the legislation, stressing it has yet to be tabled. In 2007, the transport min- ister launched a review of the operation and efficiency of the Railway Safety Act, through an independent advisory panel. The findings indicated the act is sound, but said more needs to be done. A 2008 report from the panel included 56 recommendations for improved rail safety, some of which require legislative changes to the act. There have been six train derailments in Durham Region since 2004, including a June 2009 incident in Oshawa that saw two CP locomotives and 27 cars go off the rails, and the deaths of two women in Whitby in January 2004, after 14 CP cargo containers derailed and one train car fell from an over- pass onto a vehicle travelling below.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions SAFETY Speeding driver killed my dog To the editor: My dog was hit by a car on Fairport Road Friday, May 21. He fractured his back two legs, snapped his spine, and had massive internal bleed- ing. We had no choice but to put him to sleep; the vet stated the driver must have been driving more than 90 km/h to cause that type of injury. Fairport Road’s speed limit is 40 km/h and if the driver had driven more slowly there is a chance I would still have my dog today. Not only did the driver hit my dog while driving above the speed limit but after doing so he kept driving. When we reported to the local police, they stated this is not a crime. Today it was my dog, tomorrow it could be a child. The public needs to be aware that speed- ing is unacceptable and could cause fatali- ties. In the past we have attended sever- al council meetings with the City to raise awareness of speeding issues on this street. We have put up a poster of our beloved pet in the area where he was hit and we have received a lot of attention from passing cars and people walking by. Nivaraka Gukathasan Pickering GLOBAL RELIEF Pickering youth lauded for efforts to fight poverty To the editor: Since January, the world has witnessed a multitude of natural disasters that have affected many lives, mostly those living in poverty. Hundreds of thousands, if not mil- lions, have been pushed deeper into pov- erty as a result. Children and mothers are often the most vulnerable and in need of support in these difficult circumstances. At times such as these Canadians respond with compassion. Youth from Pickering have shown their support by putting the needs of those hardest-hit by these disas- ters above their own. Last month, young people from Pickering donated their time and appetites in sup- port of World Vision’s youth action cam- paign, the 30-Hour Famine. Students and community groups throughout Pickering helped to raise funds in support of the eradication of poverty and injustice. They also helped to provide much-needed aid in the immediate relief and long-term needs following the earthquake in Haiti. Funds raised by Pickering youth will be put to work to help others around the globe. On behalf of World Vision and those we serve, I want to express my sincere appre- ciation to all those that supported World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine. Your efforts are making a difference in the lives of children and their futures will be brighter because of your support. Dave Toycen, President and CEO World Vision Canada ROADS Noisy kids equally distracting while driving To the editor: Re: ‘Total ban on driving and phoning is the solution’, letter to the editor, May 17. Letter writer Ron Horner is absolute- ly right. The cellphone should be banned because it definitely is a distraction when you’re driving. I wonder if someday there will be a total ban on children in the car when parents are driving as well. I have three children under the age of seven and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has experienced almost being in an accident due to fights and screaming going on behind me. But I deal with it; I have no choice. Cell- phones and radios are really no different. Yes, I control the volume on the stereo but need to look down to do that, and yes, I have used the cellphone while I was driv- ing as well, which I realize I have control over. But can you tell me what the difference is between my children crying or talking to me when I’m driving and talking on the phone or listening to loud music? I’d really like to know.

Considering there have been six in Durham Region since 2004 -- one of which killed two women in Whitby -- the minister can be considered a master of understate- ment. But he came to Durham yesterday armed with the outline of proposed new legislation aimed at substantially reforming existing laws governing rail safety in Canada. The amendments proposed to the exist- ing Rail Safety Act include stiff new mon- etary penalties and increased new judicial sanctions for those who violate the act, more robust safety requirements for national rail companies, new whistle-blower protection and a new requirement that rail companies employ an executive who has legal respon- sibility for safety. Given the experience Dur- ham Region communities have had with derailments over the last several years, the reforms couldn’t come any sooner. Some of the high-profile events here included several cars jumping the tracks several weeks ago in Pickering, snarling both commuter and rail traffic; two CP locomotives and 27 cars going off the rails in Oshawa in June, 2009; and the fatal derailment in 2004 that claimed the lives of two unsuspecting women travelling in a car beneath a rail overpass in Whitby. We welcome the legislative amendments as a means to eliminate these unnecessary and highly hazardous incidents, particular- ly the whistle-blower legislation that would allow frontline workers -- those with inside knowledge of safety violations or potentially dangerous maintenance issues -- to expose hazards without fear of reprisal. Stiff mon- etary and judicial sanction amendments should also provide the necessary motiva- tion for rail company executives focused on the bottom line to ensure they are meeting legislative requirements. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out yesterday the amendments as proposed included all of the key points his City raised with the feds following the latest derail- ment in March. To that end, it appears the government listened. The federal govern- ment, meanwhile, would do well to expe- dite the process to adopt these amendments and considerably strengthen existing safety regulations governing rail travel in Durham Region and across the nation. If, as the minister noted yesterday, one train derailment is one too many, then six in the span of six years should constitute a cri- sis. Pass the amendments, and quickly. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group Beefed up rail safety legislation a long time coming durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20106 AP 7 P What do you do to stay fit and active?

And the rumours, by the way, are true. Not about me and that Danish juggler... but about time. It does go by in a flash. Life is such a sneaky little bastard, isn’t it? It lulls us into complacently whiling away our time until one day we wake up and it occurs to us, ‘Good Lord...I’m middle-aged’. And it’s not the age itself that gets to you. It’s the speed of it all. It’s kind of like making love. I’m usually having so much fun that by the time it’s over I can’t believe a whole five minutes has gone by. But when you stop for just a moment, on your 50th ...or for that mat- ter on your 40th or 60th or whatever... and you realize that five decades have gone by, in the blink of an eye, that’s a corker, let me tell you. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was in high school? My youth seems so richly tan- gible I can almost taste it. I can clearly remember riding my bike to the store to pick up some smokes for my Dad... an errand I loved because he was sure to give me the change from his bills, which I could then blow on Mojos and Ton o’ Gum. I can still feel that kid inside me. I am still that kid. In the larger span of life, my marriage of 24 years seems like a couple of min- utes. How then did my children get to be taller than me? How is it possible one is leaving for college? I was just burping them a second ago. I had cancer six years ago. Even then I promised myself never to waste anoth- er moment in worry or fear or regret. To enjoy every sandwich, as Warren Zevon so brilliantly said. And I think I have. But life doesn’t seem to care. She’s got a schedule and she’s hell bent on keep- ing it. Waste it or taste it...life goes on. And it goes on quickly. What’s even more ter- rifying is that it seems to be a downhill ride as well. The older we get the faster it goes. Along with the gray hair and wrinkles we’re picking up speed. This is why those first two or three decades seem to last such a good, long time. Then 40 comes along and startles the hell out of us. Suddenly we’ve barely got time to catch our breath when the next pitch whizzes by, 50, 60, 70...decades blowing us back like Nolan Ryan fast- balls. Still, I feel lucky. I’m very happy and I am consciously aware of why I am happy. I’m finally starting to figure it out and it feels good. The old clichés are true. It’s not how much stuff you have. It’s not about where you’ve been or where you’re going. It’s not what you do. It’s all about how you feel. How you feel in every single, precious moment of every fleeting day. It’s not the destination...it’s the ride. It’s always been about the ride. I get that now. I’m also learning that the secret to a long, happy life does not seem to have nearly as much to do with exercise or nutrition or getting a flu shot as it does with two little words: thank you. Take daily and repeat as often as feels good. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns Waste it or taste it, life goes on...

While Crystal went in the store, I couldn’t help but stay behind to photograph this woman. She had a sweetness about her that I really want- ed to capture on camera. I liked this photo the best because of the light on her face and her smile. -- Sabrina Byrnes is a staff photographer with the Metroland Durham Region Media Group SABRINA BYRNES / BEHIND THE LENS Newspaper isn’t judge and jury The news release from Durham Regional Police that arrived in my e-mail in box last Wednesday had a different feel to it. This wasn’t about a robbery or an accident. The police had arrested and charged four men with crimes against children, including possession and distribution of child por- nography. The release also included pic- tures of two of the men, something Durham Regional Police don’t normally do. But we got the story online and moved on to other matters. I had honestly forgotten about it until a day later when another e-mail arrived, this time from an anonymous person, saying we had published the names even though the courts had put a publication ban on the identities. No ban existed and surprisingly when I tried to e-mail the sender with that news, the e-mail kept bouncing back as being undeliverable. This past weekend another e-mail arrived claiming newspapers convict a person before they have their day in court. “When someone is named in the paper as being charged with a crime, it is tantamount to being guilty in the eyes of the public,” the letter writer wrote. I don’t believe we are convicting the men. When writing crime stories we are very careful to report on the crime without say- ing the accused person did it. We then name the accused at the bottom of the story. I think our readers are smart enough to know a person is innocent until proven guilty. We then follow up, as best we can, in the courts to see if the person has been found guilty. On occasion a person will call and let us know they have been acquitted in court. We then verify that information, and if they have, we will write a new story to let our readers know. We are not in the business of being a judge and jury. Our job is to inform our readers of what is happening in their communities, and often that includes identifying people charged with a serious crime.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND ‘I like to go fast,’ says Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-Chief of t h e M e t r o l a n d D u r h a m Region Media Group. Joanne spent the Vic t o r i a D a y l o n g w e e k e n d a t a w o m e n - o n l y motorcycle training course at Durham Colle g e i n W h i t b y . JOANNE BURGHARDT , EDITOR-IN-CHIEF jburghardt@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- I like to go fast! There, I’ve said it. I’ll be responsible. I’ll be defensive. But deep down in my soul, I have a need for speed. Seldom have I been more exhaust- ed, or satisfied, than the day I earned my motorcycle licence. Over the May long weekend, far from the garden centres or the road to cottage country, I joined 26 women on the park- ing lot at Durham College’s Whitby cam- pus to fulfill a dream. Women of all ages, we came from all parts of Durham Region and beyond with one thing in common -- a desire to take on a new challenge and win. And what a challenge it was! Half of us had never been on a motorcy- cle before, the majority had never started the engine and we had from Friday at 7 p.m. until Sunday evening to become masters of the parking lot. I needn’t have worried about missing my pilates class Satur- day morning; that little bit of cardio our instructors promised turned into a morning of sprinting, dressed in leather, while pushing each other on our bikes so we could learn how to stop. The darn things weren’t even on yet and we were exhausted! Physical labour is not my strong suit, but I’m a quick study and multi-tasking is a breeze, so how hard could it be to learn to ride, I mused. To imagine what the experience was like you’ll have to get inside my head for a minute -- sorry, it’s a scary place. Repeat after me: Take glasses off, slide head into helmet, buckle helmet, squeeze glasses back on, zip up jacket, don gloves, kick tires, check spokes, check chain -- yup it’s dirty, leg over seat, kick back the stand, test front brake, test back brake, test throttle, squeeze levers, turn on gas, hit run, engine on, choke up, clutch in, foot on brake, hit start, release clutch, stall. Stall. Stall. Stall. Stall. Jerk forward. Stall. Bad words, bad words. Stall. That was Day 1; I was really looking forward to Day 2. Sunday morning dawned with a beautiful blue sky, the tem- perature hit 26 C, and we were pumped because the obstacle course was laid out in front of us -- pylons everywhere -- and we would actually put these bikes in gear! This is when I knew my days as a four-wheeled driver were forever over. As I rounded the first curve and sped up, swerving from side to side as I snaked my way through the pylons, lean- ing into the turn as the bike carried me around the next corner, I made a pleasant discovery -- I like to go fast! Yes, it scared me a little when, while motoring across the parking lot in third feeling cocky because I’d managed to switch gears without stalling, I played a little tug of war with the throt- tle that saw me come to an awkward, flailing stop just inches from what could have been a nasty spill. The sound of two-way radios could be heard nearby as instructors determined yes, she pushed the throttle the wrong way and no, she’s not hurt. Hence my visit from instructor Julie Smith telling me about a handy little fella named the kill switch. As Sunday faded into dusk, I pulled away from the college, more aware of my surroundings and a better driver. In my hand was a little white envelope which, when turned in to the Minis- try of Transportation, will magically turn into a plastic card cer- tifying that I am indeed a master of the parking lot.

TOMORROW: Managing Editor Mike Johnston takes to the dance floor durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20108 P Class EA for Regional Services for the Central Pickering Development Plan NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE No. 1 WORKS DEPARTMENT May 31, 2010 PUBLIC NOTICE The Study The Regional Municipality of Durham is currently undertaking a study for the provision of Regional services, including water, wastewater, transportation, and transit, to service the lands identi ed as the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) Area. As part of the regional services, a study for the provision of service facilities is also underway. The CPDP was completed by the Province in May 2006 and requires the Region to proceed with planning the infrastructure works required for the area. In order to meet this requirement, a study is underway to meet the environmental assessment requirements, by developing a servicing plan based on environmental considerations, as well as technical and  nancial ef ciencies. The study consists of two projects: 1. Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g. watermains, sewers, pumping stations, reservoirs); and 2. Transportation (e.g. roads, bridges, cycling paths/ lanes and sidewalks in Regional road rights-of-way) and Transit Infrastructure. In addition, the Region has chosen to undertake a separate Class EA process for the service facility component of the regional services. The service facility component is also a Schedule C project and will be conducted concurrently with this Study. The projects will be conducted in accordance with the process de ned in both the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2007) and Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure Class Environmental Assessment Process (as amended September 2008). The Environmental Assessment for the projects will ful ll the requirements of both the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). The two projects that form part of the study will need to meet different schedules under the Class EA process, as follows: 1. Schedule B – water and wastewater Infrastructure 2. Schedule C – transportation and transit infrastructure A third project for the service facility is also being conducted as a Schedule C. Public Information Centre No. 1 All interested stakeholders are invited to provide input pertaining to the two projects at the Public Information Centre (PIC). PIC No. 1 is the  rst of two PIC’s to be held to provide an opportunity for interested stakeholders to learn about the project (incuding the project background), potential alternatives, evaluation process of the alternatives, and next steps as well provide feedback concerning the study. Representatives from both the Region of Durham and the consultant, GENIVAR, will be present at the PICs to answer questions and discuss the study progression to date. The  rst PIC has been scheduled as follows: Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 Time: 6 - 8:30 p.m. Location: Pickering Recreation Complex, 1875 Valley Farm Road The O’Brien Room (arena entrance at rear) We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns you may have with respect to this study.

Call 905.683.7575 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201010 AP BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com W ith practice completed and the lights on the floor at the Rickard Recreation Complex dimmed, Jason Crosbie makes his way to the bleachers and gets comfortable in an empty red seat. He’s at ease here, and why not? The head coach of the Clarington Green Gaels is the guiding force behind one of the most suc- cessful junior lacrosse organizations in the history of the sport. A teacher at Monsignor John Pereyma in Oshawa, the Clarington resident played 11 seasons in the National Lacrosse League, plays for the Peterborough Lakers in Major Series Lacrosse, and won a Founders Cup Canadian championship as head coach with the Green Gaels in 2004. He also coached the team to a perfect 20-0-0 season in 2007. His secrets to success? Here they are: What are the most important qualities of a coach? Crosbie: For me, I think it’s just to be a teacher. Since I am a teacher, the qualities of a teacher you have to have in a coach, because ultimately, what you are there for is to teach. Even at the pro level, you are still teaching. Not only do you have to teach sys- tems and plays, but you also have life lessons on hard work, determination, sacrifice and all that stuff. If you keep teaching and the kids see it, and if they know they are going to get better because of that, that is huge, espe- cially in lacrosse. There are a lot of hockey coaches, but lacrosse is a different avenue. If you look around, there’s not a ton of qual- ity lacrosse coaches. Yeah, they might coach because they watched the game for awhile. If you look at the NLL, it’s a perfect example. They recycle their coaches because there’s not an abundance of quality teachers out there. That’s why kids come here. They want to be taught and they know they are going to be taught the right way. Describe the type of player you like to have on your team? Crosbie: The type of player has to be con- ducive to the system. My system is a high pressure, high intensity, run and gun, in your face team. My type of player has to be physi- cally fit, very strong, handle the ball in skilled areas. I’m not going to get a guy who is big and slow. Ball movement and stick skills are high on the list because if you can’t do that, I can’t have you out there. It’s that strong, ath- letic kid who can run and make decisions quickly because it’s such a high pace. Even on defence we’re doing so much, you have to be able to think. You have to have toughness and scoring guys, so I break away from the mould a little bit depending on what I need. How do you get the most out of your teams? Crosbie: It’s being part of the organization. I don’t really have to do much. If it’s a young team, yeah I have to wait for them to under- stand that being a part of this storied organi- zation and to be part of this team brings it out of them. You have to have good veteran leadership to do that. The veterans have grown up here and understand what it is to be a Green Gael. For me to get it out of them, all I have to say is FHPT (Family, Honour, Pride, Tradition). From the first day they are here it’s ingrained. It’s not necessarily me that’s doing the pushing, it’s that Green Gael logo, that aura of being here. Alumni come and watch. I don’t need to push. There’s alumni that will tell players to get their stuff together. It doesn’t have to come from me. I can’t explain it. It’s one of those things. If they aren’t going to work, then they will sit and watch. They want to be out there. Kids want to be here. We get 80 kids at tryouts every year. People want to be here and they push themselves because of that. How do you get your players to respect you and your decisions? Crosbie: I think I have the respect because I played. I never had an issue with that because of the TV and exposure for lacrosse. I played for 11 years and all those kids watched. It’s hard for them to tell me I’m doing it wrong. They see it, and I played it, so they know I know what’s going on. I demand a lot, but I get respect by treating them the right way. One of the big things is you may not like what I have to say, but usually it’s the right thing. I will not lie to you. I will tell you straight up. You may not like it at the time, but you will understand I didn’t lie to you. I tell them what they have to do. It’s junior lacrosse and people are going to sit. If you need to know what’s wrong, I will tell you what’s wrong. This isn’t minor lacrosse. I will always be your friend and I will love you because you played for this team. But I will tell you exactly what is going on. When they come in here, I will try my best and fix them as best I can to get them to the next level no matter what. On game day, what do you do to prepare your team? Crosbie: We go over a lot of stuff early in the season about how to go about getting yourself prepared. The team gets prepared with a lot of fun. If they’re not having fun, than they are not going to like it. To prepare it’s focus, talking about what is expected of them. Each person gets themselves ready in a different way. There’s no set way. I’ve seen a thousand ways over my career of people getting ready. Some people puke in the bathrooms, I take my iPod and go away by myself, some guys play with their sticks. There is no one way to prepare for a game. We have been using a website for three years and the website has all the plays, a team forum where I talk about pre-game, what I expect of the game, a scouting report on the other team. They understand if this team is fast, slow, big, if they like to pick and roll or fast break. All our plays are on there, so that’s preparation. You can’t go in with a thousand things, they won’t remember it. They will only remember the last two or three things you tell them. Give them two or three things to concentrate on. Do you pattern your style after some- body who coached you? Crosbie: I’ve had the luxury of playing pro, so I’ve had some really good coaches. Doug (Luey) has done a great job training me from day one. At times I didn’t like what he had to say early in my coaching career. I think he wanted to make sure I knew what it was to be a Green Gael. I’ve been left behind on a bus. They took off on the bus because I was late. I’m the head coach. All the way to Kapuskasing. Me and Jonas (Derks) were left behind. But Doug made a point. If you are going to be a head coach of this team, be on time. End of story. I didn’t like it at the time but he was right. I had Darris Kilgour who was an unbelievable coach with Troy Cordingley. Those two, I like the way of their intensity with coach- ing. They live it and love it and put their whole soul into it and that’s what I do. They were teddy bears after. They would expect so much out of you when you played no matter what the situation. That’s what I bring here. What kind of an impact do you hope to have on your team? Crosbie: I hope that when they leave here they say to themselves, ‘I was taught the game properly. I loved being here because it was a fun atmosphere to be around.’ I want them to leave with as much knowl- edge as I can give them. I tell my teams I love every one of them. You have to as a coach. You love them like your own children. If you don’t you’re not doing them a service of teaching them as much as you can. I give them as much as I can of myself, everything I know and everything I have been taught by all my unbelievable coaches and mentors I have had. We had a kid from Toronto when we won the Founders (Cup) in Elora, 10 years later he is back coaching in Toronto and we had a conversation in the hall. And he was like, ‘Man you taught me so much. I’m coaching because of you now.’ That’s what we like. Guys coming back just to say thanks for having a great time, for having fun, but learning.

OUTDOORS Gardening, sun safety topics of Ajax event durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201015 P The pipe takes 90 per cent of York Region’s waste water to the Duffin Creek Water Pol- lution Control Plant in Pickering for treat- ment. York wants to expand the pipe to accommodate the region’s population. The City of Pickering has launched legal action against the plans, which is still before the courts. Ms. Burkholder attended a press con- ference at Queen’s Park Thursday, where Jim Robb, a volunteer with the Rouge Duf- fins Greenspace Coalition, Devi Gopalan of Pickering community group Stop the Stink, and Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley demanded that the Prov- ince either withdraw approval of the pipe expansion, or at least impose stricter con- ditions than those already set out by the ministry when it was approved in April. “They’re weak, they’re toothless, there’s no strength to them,” said Coun. Littley. Mr. Robb pointed out York plans to increase its sewage exports to Pickering of approximately 400 million litres per day in 2010 to approximately 930 million per day in 2032. The conditions proposed by the group include imposing strict impact avoid- ance measures and non-performance sanctions to protect Pickering and its resi- dents from the pipe’s odours and pollu- tion, and ensuring the pipe is built around Bob Hunter Memorial Park, not right through it, which is currently proposed. “He was and I am opposed to the Big Pipe in totality,” said Mr. Hunter’s widow, Bobbi Hunter, in a letter she had sent to Premier Dalton McGuinty and Mr. Gerretsen. Other recommendations from pipe opponents include requiring a 75-per cent reduction in groundwater and sur- face water leakage and wasting through the pipe and its feeder sewers within 10 years, and requiring advanced water puri- fication at the plant to remove pharma- ceuticals, carcinogens, phosphorous, and other biologically active chemicals to safe- guard public drinking water and health. Mr. Robb said California uses advanced technologies to fully treat and purify sew- age for around the same cost as the pipe expansion, which has created purified water that meets drinking water stan- dards. He doesn’t understand why Ontario can’t go that route. “The public wants better water protec- tion and conservation decisions, not pro- vincial puffery and pronouncements,” he said. He added the premier on May 18 pro- posed to make Ontario a North American leader in clean water technology. Pickering-Scarborough East MP Wayne Arthurs, who is “not opposed to the pipe,” had not received a copy of the conditions proposed by pipe opponents, but he feels that after the long EA process, and now that it’s been approved by the minister, it’s unlikely that the Province will change its mind, or even implement the conditions. As for the comments that conditions are toothless, Mr. Arthurs said there is an “extensive range of conditions,” more than the number usually imposed on an EA. Those conditions include an adviso- ry committee to be engaged in the pro- cess “all the way to implementation.” Other current EA conditions include creating measures to conserve and use water efficiently and to reduce inflow and infiltration of water into the sewer, and protecting and enhancing Bob Hunt- er Memorial Park. If it’s found in the implementation pro- cess that there would be environmental degradation or significant problems, then “one would have to adjust the plan as it’s being implemented. But to go back now and review the EA approval and revise the plan, probably not.” York officials have always insisted the pipe will be safe and say they have taken concerns into consideration. Mr. Robb said if the conditions are tacked onto the approval, the opponents will tolerate the expansion. 1-866-873-9945 www.welcomewagon.ca If You Are...

Jim Robb, Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition PICKERING from page 1 BONNIE LITTLEY durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201016 AP WHITBY -- With rising tempera- tures, animal shelter workers are warning people to be careful about leaving their animals locked in vehicles. The Humane Society of Dur- ham Region has been inundated recently with calls from the public concerned about dogs being left in locked vehicles for too long in the heat. “Many people still are not get- ting the message that bringing your dog with you when you are going shopping is not OK in these tem- peratures,” said Debby Houghton, animal cruelty investigator, add- ing that dogs can die in less than 20 minutes from heat stroke. “A parked car, even in a shaded area, can reach temperatures of up to 190 degrees. That is the temper- ature of an oven. Leaving the win- dows open a crack does nothing to alleviate the heat when you have the extreme temperatures that we have been getting.” The agency also advises people to walk their dogs only in the early morning and later in the evening and for short periods of time. Tak- ing extra water and a collapsible bowl will allow dogs to have as much water as needed. ANIMAL WELFARE Durham humane society warns against leaving dogs in cars during summer DURHAM -- A household haz- ardous waste (HHW) drop-off is being held in Ajax on Saturday. Durham Region is holding the event on June 5 from 8 a.m. to noon in the south parking lot at the Ajax Community Centre. Items that can left include anti- freeze, single-use and recharge- able batteries, brake fluid, motor oil and filters, fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, herbicides, insecticides, old prescription and over-the-counter medications, sharp items, such as needles (in a secure container), propane tanks, pool chemicals, paints and solvents. Residents are asked to use non- returnable containers only. Com- mercial, institutional, agricultur- al or industrial waste is not per- mitted. The community centre is at 75 Centennial Rd.

But the Brooklin Redmen proved otherwise on Sunday night. The Rock, making their franchise debut on their home floor at the Ajax Community Cen- tre, took all of 44 seconds to score the first goal in the team’s history as goaltender Pat Campbell sprung Brandon Turner on a breakaway with a long pass to put the home side up 1-0. While the goal raised a few eyebrows, it was the only lead of the night for the Rock, who fell 11-7. “You can see (Brooklin) have a few more pol- ished players and we are still working at that,” said Rock coach Jim Veltman of the difference between the teams. “We know we are a work in progress. We didn’t expect miracles. “In this league you can’t make those little mis- takes. Those subtle mistakes turn into goals and that’s what happened to us tonight.” It really was a win-win for both teams. The Rock, after months of work building a roster to compete at this level, finally got to see what they have to work with. The Redmen will get a better look at what they have in Friday’s rematch when a number of players are expected back from school commitments. For now, they will take the early two points and bank them. “We liked the speed we had in there tonight, the youthful bodies,” said Redmen coach Wayne Colley. “We had a couple of call-ups from the Jr. A team that helped us run it up and down the floor.” After Turner opened the scoring, the Redmen took control of the game with four unanswered before the Rock closed out the period with another to cut the lead to 4-2 after 20 minutes. The Redmen stretched the lead to 9-4 through two and went up 10-4 early in the third before the Rock narrowed the gap to 10-7 with three goals in a span of five minutes. The Redmen restored a four-goal lead just 41 second later, and that would end the scoring on the night. “I like that we had a no-quit attitude, especial- ly in the third period,” said Veltman, praising his team’s effort. “We were down 9-4 going into the third and these guys said, ‘Forget it. It’s not over.’ I like that. I like when a team says, ‘We’re not quitting and we’re going to play right to the end.’ I thought they did.” Colley was looking forward to practice on Monday and Wednesday before rolling back into Ajax for a rematch on Friday night. Also roll- ing in will be a few more bodies to work with. “It’s the youth we have and their commitment’s to their schools,” said Colley of the biggest strug- gle his team faces in the early going. “Once we get everybody here, we’ll be very young.” For the Rock, it will be small steps as they con- tinue through the season, but they took a big one in getting the franchise off the ground on Sunday. “Everybody wanted to play this game so bad,” said Veltman of the anticipation that was build- ing. “We’ve been working (on the floor) since April 21. These guys have been working hard. It was time to put it together on the floor. Guys started seeing if they really work at it, something good can happen with this team. We’ll just build on that.” Friday’s rematch in Ajax begins at 8 p.m. THE SCOOP -- Kevin Brownell led all scor- ers, potting two goals and adding three assists on the night for the Redmen. Scott Campbell had three goals and one assist, while Derek Hopcroft scored twice and added two helpers. Coady Adamson (1g,3a) and Geoff Griffiths (1g,2a) also chipped in with goals and assists. Tyler Worden and Cam Holding had one goal each ... Bryan Johnson had two for the Rock, with singles to Justin Gibson, Jonas Derks, Jason Mainer, Brandon Turner and Travis Bland ... Rock officials announced Sunday’s attendance at 350. BRAD KELLY / METROLAND AJAX -- Jonas Derks (11) of the Ajax-Pickering Rock kept a close eye on Mike Cudmore of the Brooklin Redmen during a Major Series Lacrosse league game Sunday. It was the fran- chise debut for Ajax-Pickering at the senior level, but the Redmen prevailed 11-7. FOOTBALL Dolphins beat TNT Express 17-14 DURHAM -- The Ajax-Pickering Senior Varsity Dolphins played its inaugural OMFL game against the TNT Express in New Tecumseth, posting a three-point victory. The Dolphins got off to a quick start thanks to a rushing touchdown by Tristan Clough and a TD reception by Daniel Tomei. The second touch- down was made possible by a great special teams play by Jevon Bryan. Adam Konkle then kicked what turned out to be the game-winning field goal to put the Dolphins up by a score of 17-0. The Express was able to turn things around in the second half of the game. A key special teams play by Martin Downey, close to the end of the game, seemed to make the dif- ference as the Dolphins held on for a 17-14 win. GOLF Pestell finishes second at Annandale tournament PICKERING -- Tournament golf agrees with young Connor Pestell. They 8-year-old golfer from Pickering tied for second place in only the second tournament he has ever entered, firing a 7-over score of 44 for nine holes in a Canadian Junior Golf Association event at the Annandale Golf Club. Pestell competed in the eight and under category in the Junior Link- ster Tour event. The Grade 3 student at Maple Ridge Public School has shown a pas- sion for golf since the age of two. GYMNASTICS Dobson finishes top-8 in province MISSISSAUGA -- Six of Gemini Gymnastics’ top athletes competed for Team Ontario and achieved outstand- ing results at the Eastern Canadian gymnastics championships. In the Level 4, tyro category, Pick- ering’s Victoria Dobson placed fourth on vault, fifth on beam and ranking eighth all around in Ontario. “I am very pleased with the per- formance of our provincial athletes this year at the major Ontario competitions,” said Gemini’s head coach, Elena Davy- dova, in a press release. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201018 AP Wednesday, June 2, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

HIGH SCHOOL OFSAA championships everywhere 17 provincial tournaments being staged this week DURHAM -- If you’re a fan of high school sports, this is the week for you. As the school year winds down, there’s a frenzy of activity this week, with no less than 17 OFSAA provin- cial tournaments or festi- vals being held. And, naturally, there’s plenty of Durham talent taking part. LOSSA is hosting two of the events, the AAA/AAAA boys’ rugby tournament in Oshawa and Ajax, and the boys’ A/AA lacrosse festival in Ajax. The rugby tournament features two top contend- ers, with the Uxbridge Tigers coming in as the No. 3 seed, and Oshawa’s East- dale Eagles right behind in fourth. Games are being played on the fields of the Ajax Wanderers and Oshawa Vikings clubs from Wednesday through Fri- day. Ajax’s Denis O’Connor Chargers and Bowman- ville’s St. Stephen’s Roy- als will both play in the lacrosse tourney, which wraps up Wednesday at the Ajax Community Centre. St. Stephen’s is ranked fourth and DO’C sixth of the eight teams taking part. One of Durham’s better chances for a medal will come in the AAA/AAAA boys’ lacrosse tourna- ment being held in Toron- to, where Oshawa’s Dwyer Saints are ranked fourth. There are three other rugby tournaments being played beyond Durham’s borders, with the Cour- tice Cougars taking part in two of them. The boys’ team is in Guelph for the A/AA championships June 3-5 and the girls are in Sar- nia through to Wednesday. Oshawa’s O’Neill Redhawks are in Toronto for the boys’ AAA/AAAA tournament. There are eight soc- cer tournaments being held in a variety of locales from Thursday till Satur- day, including the boys’ and girls’ AAAA cham- pionships in Hamilton. Ajax’s Pickering Trojans are ranked sixth on the girls’ side while Pickering’s Dun- barton Spartans earned LOSSA’s berth in boys. LOSSA will send two teams to both the girls’ AA tournament in Sarnia and girls’ AAA championship in Windsor. Oshawa’s Perey- ma Patriots and Donevan Blue Devils are vying for the AA title, while Whitby’s Austin Wildcats and Osha- wa’s McLaughlin Trojans are at the AAA tourney. Other LOSSA teams look- ing for provincial glory in soccer include the Pereyma Patriots boys at AA in Wind- sor and the DO’C Chargers boys at AAA in Sudbury. A host of local athletes are also taking part at the OFSAA tennis champion- ships in Toronto and the track-and-field meet in London from Thursday to Saturday. FASTBALL Lords to host OCAA women’s tourney OSHAWA -- The top college teams from across Ontario will be in Oshawa this fall as Durham College has been selected to host the 2010 OCAA women’s fastball championship. “We are very excited to be hosting the women’s fast- ball provincial champion- ship once again,” Ken Bab- cock, Durham College ath- letic director, said in a press release. “Hosting a cham- pionship is always a great opportunity to showcase our campus, our hospitality and the entire Durham Region. We have a great reputation and strong track record in hosting major events at Dur- ham College and the tradi- tion will continue at the 2010 provincials.” The event will be held at Durham Fields Oct. 15-16 and will feature the top four teams playing in a traditional double knock-out system. This year’s championship will mark Durham’s eighth time hosting the OCAA championship. The college last hosted the event in 2007, where the Lords defeated Mohawk College in the gold medal game to win their 14th title. Over the past three decades, the Lords have been one of the dominant teams on the OCAA scene, winning 27 championship medals (14 gold, nine silver, four bronze), the most of any college in league history. Durham has also picked up a medal at 13 consecutive championships, dating back to 1996. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201019 AP Career Training AIRLINES ARE HIRING- Train for high paying Aviation Maintenance Career.
