With all the recent derailments, Ms. Halsall hopes the government will enact tougher regulations on train operators. Rail safety worries Pickering woman HELEN HALSALL FEELS NOT MUCH DONE FOLLOWING FAMILY TRAGEDY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durharmegion.com DURHAM -- Helen Halsall avoids train tracks. “Even seeing a train go over a bridge that I have to go under,” she said. “I’ll actively shake.” Six years ago, Ms. Halsall’s niece and sister were killed when a train derailed in Whitby and fell from an overpass, crushing their car. Recent train derailments in Durham have sent chills through Ms. Halsall, who said she feels little has been done to improve rail safety since the deaths of her younger sister Kathleen Kel- lachan and niece Christine Harrington. “Someone else is going to get killed for sure,” she said quietly.

Car driven over lawns, police say PICKERING -- An erratic driving spree through a Pickering neighbourhood Monday has led to the arrest of a Pickering man. Several residents were awakened early Monday morning following a number of col- lisions on Edgewood Road and Shadybrook Drive, police say. Durham police say they found an extensive- ly damaged vehicle occupied by a lone driver on a Shadybrook Drive front lawn at around 2:30 a.m. The newer model silver Mazda had been driven across the lawn and struck and damaged the surrounding fence, police say. Callers told police a man had driven over the front lawn of a residence on Edgewood Road, smashed through a fence and contin- ued driving through the neighbourhood. He then drove onto Shadybrook Drive where his car mounted the front lawn, struck a parked vehicle in the driveway and crashed into the surrounding fence on the same property, police say. The driver was found leaving the scene by police and was arrested. He required imme- diate medical attention and was taken to hos- pital for treatment and later released. No resi- dents were physically injured; damages are estimated at $20,000 from the series of colli- sions. A 27-year-old Pickering man is facing pend- ing charges of impaired operation of a motor vehicle and fail to remain. His name will not be released for confi- dentiality purposes relating to mental health issues, police said.

It’s believed that the robberies of fast food outlets in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa are relat- ed, Durham police said. They’re seeking two suspects, believed to be black men in their late teens or early 20s who wore disguises on their faces. • The first incident occurred at about 10:25 p.m. when two men, one of them claiming to have a gun, hopped the counter of a Sub- way shop on Bayly Street West in Ajax and grabbed cash. The lone female employee wasn’t hurt. • About one hour later two men entered a Pizza Nova outlet on Garden Street in Whitby by the back door, robbing a delivery person of cash and then taking money from cash registers. Three customers were also robbed by the men, who claimed they had a gun. • At about midnight the bandits struck again, robbing a Pizza Pizza restaurant on Taunton Road in Oshawa. Again, the men indicated they were armed, police said.

As a telecommunication service, the Internet is a critical component of business, education, health and daily life. The Regional Municipality of Durham wants to identify areas where high-speed Internet access is not available to its citizens. High speed is defined as a minimum of 1.5 Mbps sustained speed of service. The Region will seek information from multiple sources, but the key input will come from citizens. This information will be used to discuss options with telecom providers and for policy decision-making. The results may be incorporated into an application for funding to expand broadband service reach.

Police soon cleared the accident scene and injuries were minor. POLICE Minor injuries in chain-reaction motorcycle collision in Ajax REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Durham police have redrawn boundary maps in an effort to give front- line officers more time to engage in prob- lem solving and proactive policing. The new boundaries came into effect in January and Inspector Steve Ross and Inspector David Kimmerly spoke to Ajax councillors at a committee meeting June 24 about the issue. “Our uniformed front-line response is our core service,” said Insp. Kimmerly. The changes come as a result of the police department’s patrol-staffing analy- sis, which looked at workload for front-line officers. The analysis does not include vari- ous special units such as the fraud unit or homicide unit and it doesn’t include school liaison officers. Before the change, boundaries were drawn along municipal borders with Ajax and Pickering com- bined into one division. “In some municipalities officers are going from call to call to call, essentially taking reports; some areas are not as busy,” said Insp. Kimmerly. Formerly known as 19 Division, the Ajax- Pickering Division is now called West Divi- sion. Beyond that, not much has changed save for the fact that Lakeridge Road is now entirely considered part of Whitby’s Cen- tral Division, so accidents on the road are handled by the that division. There were more changes in the east, with part of north Oshawa being moved to the Central Divi- sion and northern areas in the lakeshore municipalities becoming part of the North Division to reflect the differences between urban and rural policing. “There’s no change for citizens, the change is where the uniformed officer reports for work in the morning,” said Insp. Kimmerly. The hope is the re-drawn boundaries will balance workloads and give officers the opportunity to engage in proactive polic- ing, including visiting areas where prob- lems have been identified and working with the community to find solutions. Police still have to work together across the region and beyond. “People who engage in illegal activities see no boundaries,” said Insp. Kimmerly. Councillors asked about local crime rates. Inspector Ross responded that crime rates in general have been decreasing. “In Ajax-Pickering the one area we have seen an increase in crime is street-level robberies and we’re working very hard to correct that,” he said, pointing out there is a dedicated team of four officers in West Division who work on the issue. The other common complaint is speed- ing. Insp. Ross said officers are out every day enforcing the Highway Traffic Act. “It’s not just Ajax-Pickering. Traffic is a huge issue across the region.” AJAX-PICKERING WORKLOAD Durham police re-draw working boundaries durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 1, 20104 AP v Great Local Deals! .com Be Smart!

The school held its eighth annual graduation ceremony in a standing-room-only gymnasium packed with family, friends and staff. KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An appeal of the referendum question to be put on municipal ballots this fall has been dismissed. Adjudicator Hugh Christie rejected the appeal made by a group led by Whitby resident Keri Davey, saying in his ruling the appeal request exceeded his authority. With the appeal rejected, the wording of the question is final and will now be forwarded to the local eight Dur- ham municipalities to be included on ballots this fall. The questions asks residents if they would like to change the way the Regional Chairman’s position is filled, from an appointment by Regional Council to direct election. Ms. Davey argued voter turnout for municipal elec- tions is too low and that meant the question wouldn’t be answered in a ‘clear, concise and neutral’ manner and it couldn’t be answered yes or no. A referendum result is only binding if 50 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot and the majority are in favour of the results, she said during an administrative tribunal held by Elections Ontario held on Tuesday, June 22. Voter turnout is usually well short of 50 per cent, so the results wouldn’t be valid, she stated. In his ruling, Mr. Christie, a Toronto lawyer, said, “She would like me to order that the Region of Durham should be bound by the referendum results no matter what the voter turnout. “I do not have the jurisdiction to do what she asks. My jurisdiction is limited by (the Municipal Elections Act), and I may not exceed that jurisdiction,” Mr. Christie stat- ed. “Accordingly, I dismiss this appeal.” During the hearing, Mr. Christie said an appeal can only be filed on whether the question was ‘clear, concise and neutral’ and if it can be answered either yes or no. He said he didn’t have the authority to deal with any other reasons to appeal. The question reads, “Are you in favour of the Coun- cil of the Regional Municipality of Durham passing the necessary resolutions and bylaws to change the method of selecting its Chair from appointment by members of Regional Council to election by general vote of all elec- tors in the Region? Yes or No.” REGION Durham referendum appeal dismissed NEWS ADVERTISER 905 683 5110 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 1, 20105 AP v Great Local Deals! .com OVER $100 VALUE! *Items may not be exactly as shown.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comLAND USE Durham is Ontario’s delinquent child To the editor: It comes as no surprise that the Region of Durham has once again decided to ignore The Province and forge ahead with its declaration of sensitive lands in north Pickering as “future urban”. The Toronto Region Conservation Authority declared these lands as sensitive. The Province understands this, as does the mayor of Ajax. So why doesn’t Durham Region under- stand what so many others do? The Region Of Durham is viewed by most provincial representatives as the delin- quent child of Ontario, due to its antiquat- ed and persistently arcane views. When are we going to get rid of the dinosaurs on Regional council who have the cut-it-and- pave-it mentality, and elect representa- tives who have a firm grasp of environmen- tal affairs and acknowledge the demands of an educated constituency? Michael Fearon Greenwood WASTE Incinerator foes are fighting a lost cause To the editor: I cannot believe that there are still vocal opponents to the new Clarington incinera- tor; I thought saner thoughts had prevailed and a firm decision was made to build the incinerator so isn’t it time for these critics to give up? They are fighting a lost cause as indicat- ed by the fact that Councillor Brian Nich- olson lost his challenge in a 16-2 vote at a Regional council meeting. As an old codger who was taught to reuse and recycle as a child, and who studied alternate energy sources in the 1970s, I find it impossible to believe that there are still people out there who think it is better for the health of our environment to chuck refuse into a hole in the ground and let it fester for 100 years or more, rather than use it as an energy source in a clean-burn European-type incinerator. Or worse, to send our refuse down the highway in a huge, polluting, diesel semi-trailer to be thrown into a hole elsewhere. I have experienced urban pollution in India and China and carry an inhaler so I know what severe pollution can do to one’s health but some people just have a blink- ered, knee-jerk reaction to the word incin- erator. Before you can finish pronouncing the word they are pronouncing the end of the world. Give up guys, that reaction belongs to the 1970s. Things have changed. Get with it. David R. Filbey-Haywood Pickering COMMUNITY Reader offers suggestion for stolen sweaters To the editor: I am writing in response to Caroline Cabrals letter on June 16 about her two young daughter’s sweaters taken from a park along Glennana Road. I would like to suggest that if this is one of two parks located beside a school, that she check with the school’s lost and found. It is very possible that the sweaters were dis- covered and turned in there. At this time of year, the schools make great use of the parks, allowing the various classes to spend time there during the day under teacher supervision. It is entirely possible that somebody, thinking they were doing a kind deed, thought these sweaters could have been left there by students in a kindergarten class and put them in lost and found.

As nations go, ours is still young and fresh and learning to make its way in the world. We’ve had some spectacular successes and some regrettable failures along the way, but as a nation we remain energet- ic and hopeful, open-minded and fair, resolutely committed to the principles of democracy and market capitalism. It has served us well in the past; it will serve us well as we march into an uncer- tain future with nations around the globe. And as we look around that globe, we can see a host of concerns. From global economic management to Middle Eastern military conflict, from North Korean sabre rattling to Iranian nuclear secrecy, there are more than enough challenges abroad to distress even the most stoic among us. But today is a day we cast our focus closer to home where we have much to celebrate. We live in a nation that celebrates free- doms only dreamed of in other nations. We live in a country blessed with natural abundance, a responsive democracy, the rule of law, and social consciousness. We have built strength in embracing the diversity of peoples from around the world, who have chosen Canada as their adopted home. We continue to show eco- nomic strength even as much of the rest of the world is buffeted by the winds of eco- nomic uncertainty. We celebrate freedom of religion, enjoy the entrenched benefits contained in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and remain a beacon of tolerance and pros- perity to other nations. In the simplest terms, Canada has a good thing going. This Canada Day, take a moment to reflect and recognize all the good that exists in our collective nationhood. Remember that we, together, have built a nation that has earned the respect of other countries the world over, that stood resolutely and collectively against Nazism and, more recently, against Taliban fun- damentalism. Today, Canada is a middle power that punches above its weight on the interna- tional stage and which is still not afraid to provide a voice of thoughtful reason in geopolitical debate. As U2 frontman Bono said of us in a slightly different context several years ago, the world could use more Canada. Indeed. Take a moment today to wish the nation a happy birthday. With many happy returns. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 1, 20107 P Ms. Halsall said although she felt the police were diligent in their investigation, she didn’t hear a call for change from policy makers that she was expecting after she lost her sister and niece. “It’s like they died in vain because these derailments keep happening; there is obvi- ously a flaw in the system.” A response finally came on June 1, when Minister of State for Transport Rob Merri- field was at the Oshawa GO train station to announce plans to introduce legislation in the House of Commons which contains sev- eral amendments to the Rail Safety Act. They include new monetary penalties and increased judicial penalties for those who violate the act, strengthened safety requirements for rail companies, whistle- blower protections and a requirement that each railway has an executive who is legally responsible for safety. “One derailment is one too many,” Mr. Merrifield said. “We have to do everything we possibly can to stop it.” Ms. Halsall said she and her family have constantly questioned how something like the fatal train derailment could happen. While she said she is encouraged by the announcement by Mr. Merrifield, she won- ders why it has taken so many derailments to bring about change. Since the derailment Ms. Halsall said it has been hard for her to hear people say that her sister and niece were in the wrong place at the wrong time, as it was a situation that could not have been avoided. “They were only two minutes from home,” she said. Everyone should be concerned about the recent train issues because of how poten- tially dangerous they can be, said Ms. Hal- sall. “It should matter to everybody.” --with files from Parvaneh Pessian and Jillian Follert PICKERING from page 1 RAIL SAFETY Pickering woman wonders why change has taken so long Grand Re-OpeningGrand Re-Opening Last Friday, June 25th, the Pickering Walmart Supercentre celebrated the Grand Opening of its newly renovated store.

PICKERING -- Pickering council is in agreement the new sales tax shouldn’t weigh down kids involved in minor sports. Council supported a motion from the Town of New Tecumseth requesting the Ontario government to exempt children’s recreation programs from the harmonized sales tax (HST). The eight-per cent increase will raise the costs on many goods and services for tax- payers, and the township fears youth sports activities will be so expensive for families that parents won’t enroll their kids. The motion also noted adding the extra cost to minor sports will only worsen the health and obesity problems the Province is trying to fight. The HST goes into effect today, July 1. CITY HALL No HST for minor sports: Pickering council Third shooting conviction for Toronto man BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A man already serving jail time for the shooting of a bus driver has been sen- tenced to 11 years in prison for his role in a gunfight that peppered an Ajax neighbour- hood with bullets. Malcolm Chalmers, 23, showed no reaction when Superior Court Justice Alfred Stong announced the sen- tence Tuesday at the Oshawa courthouse. Mr. Chalmers and a co- accused, Christopher Jones, pleaded guilty in the midst of their jury trial to several charges relating to the shoot- ing in south Ajax in September of 2007. Mr. Chalmers and Mr. Jones, both of Toron- to, admitted they had kidnapped a man in Scarborough and drove him to Ajax to lure a rival they had targeted from his home. When the man walked down a catwalk off Shoal Point Road a gun battle erupted, Justice Stong said. The man who was lured from his home was shot in the leg and severely injured. “Bullets were flying everywhere,” the judge noted. “It was more by good luck than good management that no one else was injured.” Mr. Chalmers and Mr. Jones pleaded guilty to charges including aggravated assault, kid- napping and weapons offences. Mr. Chalm- ers, identified as the ringleader in the shoot- ing plot, was given credit for seven months spent in pretrial custody, leaving him with a term of 10 years and five months. Mr. Jones, who played a lesser role as driver of the car used in the crime, was sentenced to 10 years, minus four years credit for pretrial custody. The men were in the third week of a jury trial when they suddenly pleaded guilty in April. Crown counsel Isabel Pargana had called for a term of 12 to 14 years for Mr. Chalmers, whom she characterized as a violent repeat offender. “He’s chosen to associate with guns and with gun-related violence on a number of occasions,” she said. Mr. Chalmers has a substantial record of violent offences. He is currently serving a nine-year sentence for aggravated assault in a 2005 shooting that blinded a Toronto Tran- sit Commission bus driver; he was arrested on that charge while in custody for the Ajax shooting and convicted earlier this year. Mr. Chalmers had just been released from jail for another aggravated assault in which a person was shot when the Ajax shooting occurred, court heard. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 1, 20108 AP v Great Local Deals! .com COURTS Chalmers sentenced to 11 years for Ajax shooting AJAX -- A June 25 photo spread incorrect- ly identified Ajax’s Home Week milestone.

HAPPY HAPPY CANADA CANADA DAY!DAY! Chicago Cubs draft pick looks to play at World Junior Championships SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The whirlwind few weeks for Pickering’s Brian Smith is only going to get more hectic. The 17-year-old left-handed pitcher from Pickering just recently closed out his high school career, falling in the OFSAA bronze medal game to Whitby’s Sinclair Celtics. That came after being drafted in the 40th round of the Major League Baseball first year player draft by the Chicago Cubs and being named to the summer roster for Canada’s Junior National men’s team program. Not surprisingly, the 6 foot, 165 pound hurl- er is enjoying the ride. “It’s been a lot of fun. Everything has been so exciting from getting drafted to making Team Canada. We leave on tour July 4. It’s all been fun and really exciting for me,” Smith said last week after St. Mary’s bronze medal loss. In that game, though, Smith was relegated to playing left field after having pitched a cou- ple days prior for the Toronto Mets under-18 program. He’ll be back on the mound in July for Can- ada as he hopes to make the final roster for Canada’s entry in the World Junior Champi- onships that are being held in Thunder Bay. The process for naming that roster begins July 4 when Smith, who just began pitching roughly three years back, and 24 others meet up in Toronto before crossing the border for a series of games in New Hampshire, Mas- sachusetts, Connecticut and St. Paul and St. Cloud, Minn. Canada will wrap that tour up by taking in a Minnesota Twins/Cleveland Indians game at the new Target Field before flying the final roster up to Thunder Bay, where they will open the tournament against the Netherlands on July 23. The Canadians are playing in a pool with Cuba, Czech Republic, Korea and Panama, along with the Netherlands. If Smith makes the final roster and puts forth a solid effort at the championships, chances are there will be some talks with the Cubs. However, Smith sounds intrigued at follow- ing through with his commitment to attend Volunteer State Community College and then re-entering the draft at some point in the next couple of years. “Yeah it’s something that is in my mind. By going to a junior college, it gives you a chance to get drafted again after your first year down there. Hopefully I get drafted again and if I don’t go as high as I want to, maybe I can back in the year after that. Even the following year after that I can go off to university,” said Smith, who grew up playing for the Pickering Red Sox program before joining the Mets in Toronto.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 1, 201014 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurham MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL DRAFT Smith hopes to make the grade RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- St. Mary Catholic Secondary’s Brian Smith jogged in from the outfield during the OFSAA bronze medal game held recently against Sinclair. Smith was drafted in the 40th round by the Chicago Cubs.

HOCKEY Snelling signs on with Belleville Bulls BELLEVILLE -- It would appear that Darryl Snel- ling’s hockey home will be in Belleville next sea- son with the OHL’s Bulls. The Bulls announced the signing of four picks from the 2010 OHL Priority Selection. Included among them were forwards Brendan Gaunce and Dylan Corson along with defencemen Adam Bignell and Snelling. “We are thrilled that Brendan, Adam, Darryl, Dylan and their families have made the decision to become part of the Bulls future,” commented General Manager and Head Coach George Bur- nett on the team’s website. “All four players are working diligently in preparation for training camp in August and will be valuable additions to our organization. I expect this group to add to the strong core of young players already on our roster and make significant contributions in the near future.” Snelling spent last season with the Mississauga Reps Minor Midget team where he scored twice while adding 13 assists in 64 games played. The Reps also competed at the 2010 OHL Cup. Snel- ling was taken by Belleville in the third round of the OHL Priority Selection draft. The former Ajax-Pickering Raiders minor hockey product has registered at Quinte Sec- ondary School, and will be helping the Bulls run their hockey school from Aug. 9-13. The main camp will get underway in late August.

BATON Sharp twirling to Norway AJAX -- Marla Sharp, a member of the Ajax Comets Baton Club, will be off to Norway in August to represent Canada at the World Baton Twirling Championships. Baton twirling is a sport that combines dance, gymnastics and hand-eye coor- dination skills. Marla has been twirling baton with the Ajax Comets for the past 12 years, winning medals at the Provincial and National levels in both individual and group routines. She is the first athlete with the Comets to achieve Level A status in both individual and group standings. At the beginning of the 2008 twirling sea- son, Sharp was invited to join a group of elite athletes from different clubs in Ontario to form Team Alliance. While continuing with the Ajax club, she has also trained weekly with the newly formed team at out of area gyms. Her dedication and love of the sport have really shone through over this period of time with practices extending over week- ends and lasting up to five hours at a time. At the National Team Trials in Regina, Sas- katchewan in May, Alliance qualified to rep- resent Canada in Norway. The team is con- tinuing to practice hard as a member of the Canadian contingent. Sharp will compete at the Canadian Baton Twirling Championships at York Univer- sity the first week of July in both individual and group routines. She thinks it is a great opportunity to represent her country on the world stage. “It is the opportunity of a lifetime and I hope to make Canadians proud. This is a great finish to my years of twirling as I head of to university in the fall,” she said.
