If Ontario was your house, it would
be on the verge of falling apart. The roof
needs reshingling, the electrical system is
ailing and the furnace is on its last legs.
Forget about the fact the bathroom hasn’t
been redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken
loans and are maxing out credit cards to
pay for just part of what needs to be done. A
Metroland Special Report shows that’s the
situation for Ontario municipalities as they
struggle to fix our crumbling infrastructure
-- the roads, buildings, water and sewer sys-tems that underpin our daily life.

DURHAM -- The Whitevale bridge, crum-

isn’t the best symbol of the heritage com-

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
PICKERING -- Traffic on the Whitevale Road bridge has been reduced to one lane after infrastructure money for necessary repairs was not
approved.

AJAX -- The water was flying during Soakerfest at the Ajax Community Centre on June
18. The Salvation Army-sponsored event tried to break the Guiness World Record for
the most participants in a watergun fight. (Below) Leah Carroll closed her eyes and

Soakerfest falls short of world
record, but still plenty of fun
Jillian Follert

AJAX -- They didn’t break a world record, but they had fun
trying.
More than 900 people crowded the soccer field at the
Ajax Community Centre Saturday afternoon for Soakerfest,
a massive water gun fight organized by Hope Community
Church.
They fell short of the 2,672 people needed to break the cur-
rent Guinness World Record, but organizer Matt Trottier
wasn’t disappointed.
“This is an amazing turnout, we just want people to have
fun,” said Mr. Trottier, youth pastor at the church, which runs
Salvation Army services in Ajax and Pickering.
Years ago Mr. Trottier was involved in a world record
attempt for the largest number of saxophones playing the
same song.
Ever since, his kids have been encouraging him to try for
another record. The chance to make history was what drew
many people to the unique event.
“I thought it would be so neat if the kids could break a
world record,” said Leigh-Anne Lester, who brought her six-
year-old son and eight-year-old daugh-
ter dressed in bathing suits and armed
with massive plastic guns. “How often
do they get to be in a water gun fight
with hundreds of people?”
Others were just looking for a
reprieve from the sweltering heat.
“I’m here to get cooled off and
have fun,” said Ryan Power, 13,
who came with friends Ethan
Smith, 9, and Tim Sytsma, 11.
The trio of boys toted huge
“super soaker” water guns
and couldn’t resist testing
them out before the event
started.
Any Guinness record
attempt comes with a lot of strict rules and Soakerfest was
no exception. The war of water lasted for exactly five minutes
and only commercially available water guns were allowed.
Participants were warned against putting anything other
than water in their guns or using hoses or buckets to spray or
throw water.
The field was divided into sides for each team and partici-
pants were assigned to sections when they registered, then
carefully counted as they entered the playing area.
Organizers counted 920 people ranging from young chil-
dren to seniors.
Soakerfest was one of dozens of events held as part of the
41st annual Ajax Home Week from June 13
to 19.

DURHAM -- A female suspect is being
sought in connection with pinched
cheques and fake IDs.
During 2010, unattended vehicles in the
Whites Road and Oklahoma Drive area of
Pickering were entered and property sto-
len, including personal cheques.
Durham Regional Police report the sto-
len cheques were deposited a short time
later at two different banks and funds with-
drawn.
A fraud investigation found the suspect
used the identification of a person who
passed away in the early 1980s.
The suspect is described as a white
female, in her early 30s with dark hair.

Tow truck and firefighters
try to remove vehicle
from its awkward position
AJAX -- A silver sedan was stuck in a sunk-
en patio after driving through a fence in the
PARR Professional Centre and flipping onto
its side.
Driven by a senior, the car was going for-
ward in the parking lot at Kingston Road
and Church Street when it went through a
wrought-iron fence and slipped into a low-
er-level patio. The centre has some medical
offices and a tanning salon.
“No injuries at all, only property damage to
the vehicle,” said Sergeant James Lamothe,
Durham Regional Police, while on scene.
“It was what it is. No one hurt, that’s a great
thing. We’re going to get that car out of there
and we’ll be okay.”
The car’s driver frequents the plaza often
to bring his daughter food, according to the
building’s owner, Said Tabib. When Mr. Tabib
was asked what he thinks about what hap-
pened, he just shrugged.
A tow-truck driver and firefighters were try-
ing to find a way to extract the car from its
awkward position.

AJAX -- There were no injuries, only property damage, after a silver sedan was stuck in a sunken patio after driving through a fence in the
PARR Professional Centre June 20. Crews worked to lift the car from the patio.
We’re going to get that car out of

by police investigating a rash of thefts from cars in
Ajax and Pickering.
Police targeted a number of neighbourhoods after

tion to arresting four suspects from Toronto believed
to be linked to the thefts, they charged 36 others with
a variety of offences, including breach of probation,
trespassing by night and drug possession.
Police said more than 100 charges were laid against
offenders, whose average age was 17 to 18.
Cops have also issued a reminder to lock vehicles,
and to never leave valuables inside.

Port Union Road
collision on Saturday
claims life of
34-year-old man
DURHAM -- A 22-year-old Pickering
woman has been charged following a
fatal collision that killed a Brampton
man on Saturday.
Ontario Provincial Police say just after
noon on June 18 the driver of a Mazda
6 “lost control” while changing lanes in
the eastbound col-
lector lanes of
Hwy. 401
just east of
Port Union
Road.
The Mazda
collided with a
GMC Envoy carry-
ing a man, a woman
believed to be his wife
and three children ages 5, 3 and 2.
The Envoy rolled several times, flip-
ping over the cement barrier into the
express lanes.
The 34-year-old male driver of the
Envoy was pronounced dead at the
scene, while the female passenger was
taken to Sunnybrook Hospital where she
is now stable but in critical condition.
The children were all taken to hospital
with minor injuries.
Police are not releasing names of the
deceased man or the other passengers
in the Envoy.
Alicia Anandjit, the driver of the
Mazda, sustained minor injuries.
She was charged with dangerous oper-
ation of a motor vehicle causing death
and dangerous operation of a motor
vehicle causing bodily harm and held
for a bail hearing in Toronto.

Solar program
must be fair for all
To the editor:
Re: ‘Rooftop solar providers on hold in
Durham’, news, durhamregion.com June 15,
2011.
In reading your article I was concerned
that people may think that all solar projects
related to the FIT or microFIT programs are
on hold. Applications made by aggregators
(such as Pure Energies) are waiting on a
new stream in the Feed-In Tariff program
call CFIT (Commercial Feed-In Tariff).
The business model of aggregates must be
thoroughly evaluated to ensure it doesn’t
violate the spirit of the Feed-In Tariff pro-
gram or add undue burdens to ratepayers.
All other applications are being processed.
The business model of aggregators pro-
vides residential customers the opportu-
nity to participate in the microFIT pro-
gram where they may not be able to afford
to do so otherwise. Since return is always
tied to the level of investment the aggrega-
tor reaps the lion’s share of the profit. With-
out the CFIT program it would be possible
for aggregators to reap the highest level of
incentive while only paying the wholesale
costs associated with developing projects.
Solar has a bright future in Ontario and
around the world. I am proud to be an
early adopter and hope the FIT program
lasts long enough to see its ultimate goal
of grid-competitive solar without the need
for incentives. For this to happen the pro-
gram has to be sustainable and fair for all
involved.
Pure Energies got caught up in some
unique growing pains and my best wishes
go out to them.

Celebration
Pride parties
or police patrols?
To the editor:
It’s absurd that tax dollars intended for
fighting crime are used to rainbow-decal
police cruisers for Pride parades, and
assign at least one full-time salaried officer
in the name of diversity.
Police are supposed to be politically neu-
tral and concerned solely for my safety.
Who likes paying for their attempt at politi-
cal correctness?
Is that their job?
If one can’t obtain assistance because all
officers are tied up, or because they deem
it a civil matter, I guess at least we can take
comfort that they are being ‘leaders’ at
Pride parades.
Our local police also attend the Toronto
Pride parades.
Why are we paying tax dollars for Dur-
ham officers to party in Toronto? Just how
much is that salary and what does that
police cruiser that isn’t used for patrol cost
us?
Are there excess police cars and officers
on patrol so a couple aren’t needed for
police work?
When most are asked to cut spending,
how does council support the police bud-
get for such matters?
Can’t the police force just concentrate on
crime prevention, law enforcement, assis-
tance to victims, public order and emer-
gency response, in other words, our safe-
ty?
That, I won’t mind paying for.

To the editor:
Durham Region has come a long way.
On Sunday, June 12 Pride Durham orga-
nized its first Pride parade.
It was well-organized and everyone was

sity at long last.

ticipated, well done. I look forward to the

& UOIT, GM collaboration a boon to Durham economy
High-ranking officials with General
Motors of Canada and the University of
Ontario Institute of Technology are cel-
ebrating the extremes that have joined
them in an innovative new research facil-
ity.
The Oshawa-based automotive giant
and UOIT opened the General Motors of
Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence
last week, a state-of-the-art research and
testing facility that offers a full range of cli-
mactic, durability and lifecycle testing for
the vehicles it is building now and in the
future.
The $100-million facility can create
extreme climactic conditions -- from icy
cold to tropical heat and everything in
between -- in a wind chamber to test the
durability and quality of workmanship of
GM vehicles.
But the ACE is also available to other
manufacturers and innovators to test new
or improved products such as next-gen-
eration electric or alternative-fuel vehi-
cles, emerging green technology products,
even airplanes. The research that will be
done, the products tested, and the knowl-
edge being driven by ACE and those who
use it will serve to further establish UOIT
as a place of learning excellence and as
the heart of innovation in Durham Region.
All of that research is supported by educa-
tion and training, labs, conference rooms
and a culture of collaboration between
researchers, industry experts and UOIT
students.
For its part, GM Canada demonstrates
through its investment in ACE -- and its
commitment to take advantage of its capa-
bilities for the next two years -- that it plans
to maintain its presence in Oshawa for the
long term. It also serves to reinforce grow-
ing support for UOIT and acknowledges
its record of innovation and success.
As a facility funded by UOIT, GM, and
both the federal and provincial govern-
ments, the need for ACE and results that
will translate into real-world products and
success is the expectation of those funding
partners.
This is another good-news story about
UOIT, its continuing positive impact on
Oshawa and Durham, and a recognition of
its ongoing efforts to create a sustainable,
prosperous knowledge economy in Dur-
ham Region. The fact that Oshawa’s oldest
and most venerable manufacturer, GM,
has seen fit to join forces and collaborate
on future innovations is difficult to miss.
If it’s true that some things are greater
than the sum of their parts, this innovative,
forward-thinking collaboration between
UOIT and GM that produced the ACE is a
perfect example.
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to cancel
your services with a certain large telecom-
munications company whose name, coin-
cidentally, rhymes with hell, but it’s an edu-
cational process. The instant you mention
the ‘C’ word you are greeted by a sharp inha-
lation of breath and a stunned silence, not
unlike that usually provoked by such utter-
ances as ‘Voldemort’, ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘Wow,
your Mom’s really hot’.
Milliseconds later, your call is hastily
directed to a mysterious place called ‘The
Loyalty Department’. There’s a good chance
you have never heard of the Loyalty Depart-
ment. More than likely you are, as I was, one
of the millions of long-suffering, overpaying,
patient, suckers caught in the whirlpool of
telecommunications monopoly we endure
in this country. You are also Canadian. You
are polite, kind and don’t like to complain.
They love people like us. Who wouldn’t?
What they don’t love is when people like us
wake up one morning and realize we’re get-
ting hosed harder than a four-alarm blaze.
That’s when they call in The Loyalty Depart-
ment.
And Loyalty Department is really a misno-
mer. A loyalty department conjures up imag-
es of happy workers busily combing through
their records, eagerly searching for custom-
ers to reward for their years of patronage.
“Hello. Is this Mildred Simpson? Miss
Simpson, I see by our records that you’ve
been with us for 20 years. How marvelous.
Did you realize that you’ve paid us well over
$30,000 of your hard-earned dollars over
that time? Well, to say thank you for your
loyalty we’re sending Juan, a chiseled Latino
masseuse, to your home for a solid hour of
rub-down bliss.”
That would be a Loyalty Department.
What they have now, what your angry call
is inevitably and quickly shunted to, is more
aptly described as ‘The Apology Depart-
ment’ or ‘The Suck-Up Department’ or per-
haps the ‘Please don’t tell anyone else what
jerks we are, I’ll give you anything ... just
don’t tell’ Department. I might also call it
the ‘Too little too late’ Department.
What it amounts to is a panicked employ-
ee on the other end of the phone desperate-
ly trying to make amends for his company’s
moral bankruptcy. So eager to please was a
rep I was recently talking with that I began to
wonder just how far they might actually be
willing to go to win back my business.
“I’d like a pony.”
“Beg your pardon, Mr. Crone?”
“You heard me. I said I’d like a pony. A nice
one. Named Snickers.”
“Well, to be honest Mr. Crone I’m not sure
a pony falls within our mandate of services.”
At this point I always bring up ‘the other
guys’.
“The other guys said I could have a pony.”
You never have to get specific about just
who ‘the other guys’ are. It could be your
Uncle Moe for all the Loyalty Department
knows or cares. The very thought of any
competition is anathema to them.
“Oh, a pony? I thought you said a peony,
Mr. Crone. We can certainly arrange to have
a pony delivered to your home. Will there be
someone there during the hours of ...”
“On second thought I don’t want a pony.”
“Oh. Well, perhaps a long distance pack-
age with more ...”
“I wanna fly the space shuttle.”
The irony of course is that if these bloat-
ed corporations put half as much time and
energy into keeping your business as they
do trying to get it back, we would have no
need for the hapless Loyalty Department. Of
course, then I wouldn’t be heading to Mars
next Saturday either. Hmmmm.

‘Ghetto’ comment
opens hornet’s nest
We cracked open a hornet’s nest last
week with a story about another fire at
White Oaks Court in Whitby.
During interviews with people forced
from their homes because of the fire,
reporter Parvaneh Pessian quoted one
resident as saying the area is the ‘ghetto of
Whitby’.
That quote was picked up by the page
layout editor and appeared on the front
page of our Thursday issue. The phones
started ringing right away. But unlike past
issues which have made people angry, this
time I had calls on both sides of the story.
One woman, who lives in a home near
the apartment buildings, said we had
devalued her property because of the
story. Others from White Oaks defended
their homes, saying it was not a ghetto.
On the other side, I had a number of
people who called to say they did feel it
was a ghetto and only lived there because
it is what they could afford. A number of
people outside the building the day of the
fire also told Parvaneh the same thing.
I have a particular interest in this issue
as I lived in White Oaks for years after I got
married. While the apartment was nice,
our cars were broken into many times,
enough that we just stopped calling the
cops and our insurance company.
The dictionary describes ghetto as an
area of a city people live because of social,
legal or economic circumstances, so tech-
nically the description is correct.
I can see why readers got upset, though
I don’t believe the headline hurt anyone’s
property values. No one wants to hear
their neighbourhood called a ghetto.
After hearing from readers we decided to
do a followup story, asking residents what
they enjoy about living at White Oaks.
Unfortunately a number of people refused
to let us use their names, so they could not
be part of the story. Others had the same
idea as a community meeting was sched-
uled for Wednesday morning to discuss
the concerns and identify the positives in
their neighbourhood.
We planned to be there to make sure
that story is told.

Secrecy shrouds
teen’s jail suicide
Diana ZlomiSlic
newsroom@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A mentally troubled Pickering
teen hanged himself in a youth jail that was
supposed to protect him.
And now, the Province has deployed a small
army of lawyers to keep secret all records that
could explain how this happened.
The case involves a 16-year-old boy known
by the initials G.A., who was sent to Syl Apps
Youth Centre in Oakville after a psycholo-
gist, a psychiatrist and a social worker deter-
mined he had “very serious mental health
issues” and needed secure treatment. A judge
agreed.
But the teen never made it to the jail’s secure
treatment unit, a hospital-like setting. Instead,
he was placed in general detention while the
facility waited for $3,500 in government fund-
ing to complete another court-ordered assess-
ment on the boy, who had been described
as everything from paranoid and psychotic
to polite and personable. Less than a month
after arriving at the facility, and just five days
after his 17th birthday, the teen hanged him-
self with a shoelace on May 13, 2008.
Lawyers for the attorney general and the
Ministry of Children and Youth Services have
opposed the Toronto Star’s request to view
documents filed at the public inquest inves-
tigating the teen’s death. Materials filed so far
include psychological assessments -- useful
because they illustrate a range of opinions on
the teen’s condition -- and transcripts of the
boy’s court appearances outlining his pleas
for help.
The inquest began June 8 and is expected
to hear from nearly 40 witnesses. Coroner’s
inquests, typically very public, are called to
probe deaths and make recommendations to
prevent future deaths.
Ministry lawyers said they are trying to abide
by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The act is aimed at rehabilitating and rein-
tegrating young people into the community,
which is why their names and court records
cannot be made public. The ministry and
attorney general argue the act still holds after
death.
But who is it protecting?
Last week, a lawyer representing the min-
istry and attorney general’s office argued the
Star should not even be allowed to see a court
order that supposedly explains why the paper
and the public have no right to access the
exhibits entered as evidence at the inquest.
“In our view, they fall within the definition
of a record under the Youth Criminal Justice
Act,” said provincial lawyer Heather MacKay.
On Monday, presiding coroner Dirk Huyer
said the Star was entitled to view the court
order with the teen’s name blacked out. Mr.
Huyer said in his ruling the order would “be
of benefit to the (Toronto Star) in clarify-
ing or assisting with any further application
for access to exhibits submitted during the
inquest into the death of G.A.”
Ms. MacKay protested.
She asked for, and received, a two-day stay
of Mr. Huyer’s decision so she could consult
with Attorney General Chris Bentley to dis-
cuss whether the Province would seek a judi-
cial review of the coroner’s ruling.
The inquest has heard that G.A. came to
Canada in 2002 at age 11 with his sister and
parents from Kazakhstan, where he was a gift-
ed student who excelled at math. He practised
judo, karate, rock climbing and gymnastics.
Within days of arriving in Canada, his parents
separated -- something they had planned
without the children’s knowledge.
Both parents found new partners and the
siblings split time between their homes in
Ajax and Pickering. When his sister started
using drugs, the teen was devastated at losing
what he felt was his last role model.
By Grade 9, G.A. was experimenting with
alcohol and fell behind at school, the inquest
heard. He was sent to Brookside Youth Cen-
tre in Cobourg in January 2008, at age 16 after
pleading guilty to assaulting his sister, 23.
At Brookside, the youth told psychologist Dr.
John Satterberg, who is now retired in New-
foundland, that he wanted “to straighten out
his thinking.” He said he heard voices.
At their next session, G.A. seemed like a dif-
ferent person, the inquest heard.
The psychologist, frightened, ended the ses-
sion abruptly after the teen kicked the table
and lifted it off the floor.
“In the interview today, he became more
and more bizarre, speaking in gibberish,”
according to a note made by the psychologist,
which was shown to the inquest jury.
The doctor recommended that G.A. be
returned to segregation.
This is not the first time a young person has
died in custody in Ontario.
An inquest recommended that segregation
cells be abolished after 16-year-old James
Lonnee’s death at Guelph’s Wellington Deten-
tion Centre in 1996. They are still in use.
The degrading life -- forced by inmates to
eat feces from a toilet and lick spit off the floor
-- and death of 16-year-old David Meffe at the
Toronto Youth Assessment Centre resulted in
the facility’s ultimate closure.
More recently, the Star has been covering
the case of Ashley Smith, 19, who died in a
Kitchener prison after being moved from jail
to jail across the country. She had psychi-
atric issues which her family feels were not
addressed by the prison system.

new regulations
now in effect

mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Companies bidding on
work for the City of Pickering will now
be held accountable for what they pay
employees under the city’s new fair wage
policy.
Approved by council on June 20, the
policy is the result of more than two years
of council discussion and staff study.
“Previously, there was some sugges-
tion that this is to help out unions, and
nothing could be further from the truth,”
said Councillor Doug Dickerson.
“This helps every person who is going
to be doing work here and ensures we as
a city get qualified people to do that job.
We as a society and as a city encourage
businesses here to bring skilled, well-
paying jobs. This is not here for people
to do a fast contract and underpay staff
or not pay them at all, and we’ve had
that experience and all seen it in dif-
ferent municipalities. This gives us the
opportunity to see over the next num-
ber of years a smoothing out of all that, I
think in the next couple of years we will
be pleased we have this in place.”
Councillor Bill McLean also expressed
his support for the policy, noting he had
supported a similar policy at the region-
al level.
“I’ve supported this from the begin-
ning and I know there’s some naysay-
ers who are saying this is going to cost
jobs and cost more money. I think this
particular policy is going to save money
because it’s done in such a fashion that
it’s clear, concise and transparent. That
way if there are problems down the road
we have this policy to draw from. It pro-
tects not only workers but also the city
from someone who’s not hiring skilled
workers.”
The policy was passed unanimously
and will go into effect immediately. The
policy and accompanying fee schedule
will only apply to city contracts that total
more than $1 million.

P
The bridge, leading into the quiet
hamlet with a population of around
300, has taken a beating over the
years.
It was flooded in 1929, washed
away by Hurricane Hazel in 1954
and its replacement flooded again
in 2008. The battered concrete
structure is in need of replacement
and residents are at odds with the
City of Pickering as to just how big
and modern it should be.
The bridge was deteriorating for
some time, Mr. Thomas says, but
most of the residents’ safety con-
cerns came from the big trucks that
would use it, and weight restrictions
now keep them away.
A fix-up of the bridge was on Pick-
ering’s wish list when the feder-
al government asked municipali-
ties to submit projects as part of its
infrastructure stimulus program,
but the $800,000 project wasn’t one
of the lucky chosen.
Worse, a subsequent investigation
determined a patch job wouldn’t
be good enough and a whole new
bridge needed to be built.
A $380,000 environmental assess-
ment is under way and in the mean-
time, traffic on the bridge has been
curtailed.
It’s not the only infrastructure
challenge facing the community.
“Our street is probably one of the
worst pothole streets going,” says
Mr. Thomas, president of the White-
vale and District Residents Associa-
tion.
Instead of a comprehensive resur-
facing, residents are used to regular,
piecemeal patch-ups of the road.
Across Durham, funding did flow
for more than $310 million worth of
infrastructure projects -- from the
revitalization of Oshawa’s down-
town to the replacement of water
pipes throughout the region.
But Durham expects to spend
nearly that much on capital proj-
ects this year alone, and about $1.7
billion over the next five years. As
welcome as the one-time stimulus
funding was, it wasn’t a solution to
the larger problem of the massive
funding needed to fix infrastructure
provincewide.
By the Province’s own estimates,
there is $100 billion worth of unre-
paired or unbuilt infrastructure in
Ontario, with no funds available to
fix or build it. That infrastructure
gap can be seen more clearly every
day in roadway sinkholes, flooded
storm systems and deteriorating
public buildings.
Ontario communities are strug-
gling without success to meet their
infrastructure needs, despite several
years of stimulus funding. While the
$3.4-billion infrastructure program
created jobs and helped kick-start
the economy, even Ontario Infra-
structure Minister Bob Chiarelli
concedes the stimulus programs
made only a “dent.
“I think it will be a long time before
it will be easy, but collectively, we
need to do it smarter,” Mr. Chiarelli
acknowledged.
A Metroland Special Report shows
Ontario communities increasingly
are borrowing and going into debt
-- some for the first time in decades
-- to deal with a worsening situa-
tion. Long-term needs are over-
whelming.
Metroland surveyed 20 munici-
palities for data on everything from
the amount of money received from
Ottawa and Queen’s Park to long-
term infrastructure needs.
• More than half -- including Mil-
ton and York Region -- have intro-
duced a tax or levy specifically to
help pay for infrastructure projects;
• More than half measure their
expected capital costs over the next
decade in billions of dollars, includ-
ing York at $8 billion by 2020;
• Three-quarters report they are
currently short at least $160 million
for future infrastructure repairs and
upgrades;
• Mississauga, which hasn’t had
to borrow since 1978, projects
$446 million in debt over the next
10 years;
• Brampton, debt free at the
moment, expects to start incurring
debt as early as 2012;
• Durham Region has $246 mil-
lion of debt and it could go up to
$400 million in just a few years;
• Almost half are carrying debt
loads in excess of $600 per resident.
In Durham, the debt load is about
$400 per capita.
The consequences are significant.
• To close the local infrastructure
gap, every Toronto resident would
have to pay more than $1,000 extra
on their property tax bill. In Prince
Edward County and in Perth, the
figure is closer to $2,000;
• Sinkholes are more common,
opening huge gaps in roadways
when broken underground pipes
collapse or the surface gives out;
• Severe weather and crumbling
storm systems make certain older
neighbourhoods across Ontario
more vulnerable to basement flood-
ing;
• In Durham, traffic on the badly
deteriorating Whitevale heritage
bridge has been curtailed until the
$800,000 in required funding is
found;
Part of the problem is that recent
government stimulus funds went to
“shovel ready” projects, rather than
those most in need of attention,
says Saeed Mirza, professor emeri-
tus of engineering at McGill Univer-
sity. “The stimulus (program) was
to create jobs, not to spend money
where we needed,” he said. “Our
infrastructure is in very dire straits
and we need to act urgently.”
The balance of Ontario’s infra-
structure is now of an age where it
needs replacement or repair. About
60 per cent of buildings, roads,
water and other systems are more
than 50 years old. Almost a third
of the province’s infrastructure is
more than 90 years old.
But it’s about to get worse,
because the population of the
Greater Golden Horseshoe alone is
growing from eight million just five
years ago to 11.5 million by 2031.
The fast-growing population will
require larger public buildings, bet-
ter public transit and new schools.
The Province’s Places to Grow plan
sets ambitious population targets
for the region’s municipalities and
guidelines on constructing efficient,
compact communities.
But there is no corresponding
offer by the Province, or Ottawa, to
help specifically with the costs of
everything all those new residents
will need.
What municipalities say they need
more than anything else is sustain-
able, predictable funding rather
than the piecemeal programs used
now.
The Liberal government says it
will soon make public a 10-year
infrastructure plan, but Mr. Chiarel-
li, the infrastructure minister, pro-
vided no details.
He told Metroland that funding
will be on par with the $10 billion-a-
year average that Ontario has pro-
vided for infrastructure during the
last six years.
The federal government, too, has
talked about secure infrastructure
funding and planning, promising
during the election to extend its
Building Canada Fund beyond the
scheduled 2014 expiry.
Meanwhile, Ontario municipali-
ties are grappling not only with
future needs but with their own
spending, incurred as part of the
federal-provincial stimulus pro-
gram. Local governments had to
pay one-third of any approved proj-
ect -- some of which would not oth-
erwise have proceeded for sever-
al years -- forcing them to dip into
reserves or take on more debt.
”They did the right thing but there
are going to be consequences over
time,” said Ms. Vanini of the Associ-
ation of Municipalities of Ontario.
Aging infrastructure takes toll on Durham tax dollars

PROBLEMS
The cost of maintaining, renewing and rebuilding Ontario’s crumbling infrastructure is staggering -- well into the billions of dollars for some of the communities surveyed for this Metroland Special Report. While recent infrastructure stimulus funding spread $3.4 billion across Ontario in the past two years, the programs made only a dent. This chart provides an overview of debt and capital needs.

State-of-the-art vehicles

PICKERING -- New fire trucks are helping
Pickering Fire Services deliver better ser-
vice to rural areas such as Claremont.
The two new pumper trucks were deliv-
ered in April. Some work was then need-
ed to outfit the trucks for duty, with the
first entering service one week ago in the
Claremont station.
“These are not just newer, they’re also
better trucks,” said John Hagg, dep-
uty chief for Pickering Fire Services.
“The first-run trucks we have across
the department right now are the best
we’ve ever had. And these new trucks
are awesome so it’s a really exciting
time for us.”
The Claremont truck is already receiv-
ing rave reviews from employees after it
was used to extract an individual at the
scene of a car accident at Salem Road
and Hwy. 7 earlier this week.
“Our guys love it,” said Fire Chief Bill
Douglas. “The feedback was that it was
great. We never know what type of equip-
ment we’re going to need, so we really
tried to equip these with everything we
could, just to be prepared.”
The vehicle offers an additional boon
to the Claremont hall with the capabil-
ity to hold 750 gallons of water and addi-
tional class A foam capabilities, which
mean firefighters can stretch that water
to nearly 1,200 gallons.
“For Claremont that’s huge,” Chief
Douglas said.
“There’s a lot of large structure fires
in that area and because we don’t have
hydrants up there we wanted to make
these trucks as effective as possible.”
The total cost of the two trucks was
$1.5 million.
Pickering firefighters were on hand at
City Hall on June 20 to take councillors
on a tour of the new vehicles, showing
off features such as contained ladders,
bumper line hoses, hydraulic extrac-
tion tools, light towers, transverse hose
lines located at shoulder height for easi-
er access, rescue tools, back-up air cylin-
ders and more.
The second truck is scheduled to be
put into service in the upcoming week at
Station 5 on Bayly Street.

DURHAM -- Grade 5 students in
Durham are reminded of their
opportunity to obtain their Grade
5 Action Pass this summer.
The Grade 5 Action Pass is for
students who are in Grade 5 and
heading into Grade 6 next Sep-
tember. The pass gives students
unlimited free access to public
recreation centres for activities
such as swimming, skating and
some drop-in programs.
This is the third year the pro-
gram has run in Durham.
The pass promotes active life-
styles for young students.
According to Stefanie Antony, a
public health nurse with the Dur-
ham Region Health Department,
“Children and youth need to par-
ticipate in at least 60 minutes of
moderate to vigorous physical
activity, such as swimming or
skating, each day.
“The Grade 5 Action Pass is a
great opportunity for youth to
get active and gain interest in fun
physical activities that may carry
over into their future years,” Ms.
Antony added.
Grade 5 students can obtain
passes at their local municipal
recreation centre or at Durham
Family YMCA. Oroof of address
and date of birth is required.
Students in the Township of
Uxbridge and Scugog must bring
a current photo as well.
For more information on
obtaining a Grade 5 Action Pass,
visit www.durham.ca or call Dur-
ham Health Connection Line at
905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

DURHAM -- Since it’s hard to
learn without seeing properly, the
Ontario government is expanding
the Eye See...Eye Learn program
to 40,000 junior kindergarten stu-
dents across the province.
The Province is partnering with
the Ontario Association of Optom-
etrists to encourage Ontario par-
ents to have their JK children’s eyes
checked for free and, if necessary,
they’ll receive a free, high-quality
pair of glasses.
“We’re bringing full-day kinder-
garten to more and more students,
but it’s a lot harder to learn if chil-
dren can’t see well. The sooner we
catch vision problems, the sooner
our youngest students are set to
learn,” Premier Dalton McGuinty
said in a press release.
Jungle Eyewear (Bo Optik), Hoya
Vision Care and Johnson and John-
son Vision Care will provide free
glasses to the JK students who need
them.
The Ontario Health Insurance
Plan covers the cost for annual eye
exams for children 19 and under,
but fewer than 20 per cent of them
get them done, according to the
press release.
The Eye See...Eye Learn program
will be offered to JK students in 14
school boards during the 2011/12
school year. The Province and the
OAO are currently working togeth-
er to decide which boards will be
chosen for the upcoming school
year. Information will be sent home
with the JK children this fall.
Eye See...Eye Learn plans to
ensure more than 117,000 JK stu-
dents get their eyes tested prov-
ince-wide by 2015. About 14,000
are expected to need glasses.

DURHAM -- Dumping toilets in a landfill could end
with a new recycling initiative.
Durham Region is considering a porcelain col-
lection and recycling pilot program that could see
toilets, sinks and tubs removed from the waste
stream.
Regional waste management staff estimates 515
tonnes could be recycled
annually.
Whitby and
Oshawa both collect
porcelain items through
their curbside collec-
tion operation. Durham
collects garbage in all
other municipalities
and doesn’t pick up
the items.
Porcelain fixtures
can be dropped off at
Regional waste manage-
ment facilities. However,
the items are then land-
filled.
The pilot program would see the items collected
using the Region’s existing bulky good collection
program. The items would then be separated and
offered to a porcelain recycling operation.
Last year, the waste management call centre
received more than 800 inquiries about disposing
of toilets. The number could increase as people
modernize older homes and convert to low-flow
toilets.
Porcelain items are crushed and the metal and
plastic removed. The crushed porcelain can be
added to asphalt for paving roads, as a road base
material, trail pavement or artificial reefs.
The cost of the pilot program would be incorpo-
rated in the 2011 waste management budget.
The Regional works committee approved the
program. Durham council considers it on June
29.

New payment method
to start next week
Keith GilliGaN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- A new payment method will
be magical for Durham Transit users.
The PRESTO fare system will start in Dur-
ham Region on Monday, June 27, with the
first phase available to passengers using
the co-fare and travelling to and from GO
stations.
Similar to a ‘quick-pay card’, the user
would ‘tap’ the PRESTO card on a card
reader when getting on a bus and the tran-
sit fare is deducted.
All 164 Durham Region Transit buses will
have the PRESTO card readers.
During a launch of the card on Mon-
day, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
said PRESTO means “Durham Region has
moved into the 21st century in transit. It
makes it easier and more accessible for
everybody.”
Eventually, the card will be used by all
public transit services in the GTA, says
DRT general manager Ted Galinis.
“You can use any bus anywhere,” he said.
“It works with our GO co-fare. You can
transfer onto a GO train or bus. Ultimately,
it will eliminate our paper passes.”
Singles fares and multi-rides for adults,
students, seniors and child fares will be
rolled out soon.
DRT will continue to accept all fares,
including tickets and passes in 2011.
The card can be used in 12 subway sta-
tions in Toronto, Mr. Anderson noted.
Transit users will be able to use the card
across the GTA by the end of the year, he
added.
PRESTO can currently be used on
Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Brampton
and Mississauga transit systems. It will be
available on all GO buses and York Region
Transit by the end of the year, Mr. Galinis
stated.
The Ottawa transit system also has the
system, he added.
With the card, it will be possible to board
transit right across the GTA, he said.
The card can be uploaded online or a
user can call in to have money put on the
card, Mr. Galinis noted.
Having a PRESTO card lets a user move
from one transit system to another without
the need for change, tickets or tokens, Mr.
Galinis said.
Mr. Anderson said it will be easier for
someone who now drives their car to work
outside of Durham to use public transit.
“You can get your card sooner rather than
later,” Mr. Anderson noted.
“I thank Toronto for getting on board. It
wouldn’t have happened without the Prov-
ince of Ontario getting on board.”

With the school year coming to a close parents and
students alike are in full-on summer planning mode. For
most families, summer is far from the idyllic summer image
of long lazy days spent lounging poolside for days on end.
Children’s summer schedules fill up with day and sleep-
away camps, lessons and team sports, activities, and groups.
But regardless of how busy your child’s schedule is, be sure
to make time for learning this summer!
Studies have shown that children who maintain their learn-
ing momentum over the summer months are more geared up
for learning in the fall than students who don’t engage in any
sort of formal learning.
Train the Brain this Summer…
Just like a piano player who doesn’t practice before a
recital or a marathon runner who doesn’t train before a race,
students who don’t keep up some measure of learning during
the summer don’t perform as well when they head back to
school in the fall. Because learning is cumulative, students
who didn’t engage in academic training during the summer
have to spend extra time catching up by reviewing lessons
from last year, as opposed to hitting the new grade in stride
and moving ahead with the class.
Research in the field of summer learning loss shows that
during the summer months, students who don’t engage in
some form of educational activity can drop the grade equiva-
lency of two months of learning. Students who maintain their
learning momentum during the summer are better prepared
for academic success in the fall.
…It’s Easy with Oxford Learning!
Luckily, keeping the brain fit this summer is not as hard as
it sounds. Great programs, flexible scheduling and extended
summer hours mean that, in just a few hours a week, stu-
dents can catch up or reach ahead and maintain their learn-
ing momentum over the long summer break. They can head
back to school in the fall ready to learn!
Here are just some of the
ways that Oxford Learning
can help this summer:
• Individualized Programs to
catch up or enrich

Solving

triple Double
summer camps
for kids aged 6-18
DURHAM -- The Triple Double
basketball program will be expanding
to offer summer camps in Ajax and
Whitby in July and August.
Weeks 1 to 4 will be at Henry St.
High School in Whitby and will run
from July 4-7, July 11-14, July 18-21
and July 25-28. The school is located
at 600 Henry St.
Weeks 5 and 6 will be at Ajax
High School and will run Aug. 2-4 and
Aug. 8-11. The school is located at
105 Bayly St. E.
Camps will run from 8 a.m. to 3
p.m. each day.
The youth camp is for players
aged 6-12, while the teen camp is a
little more advanced for those 13-18.
Skill development areas that are cov-
ered include ball handling, shooting,
defence, passing and five-on-five
games. Players will have fun while
increasing their athletic ability, learn
how to jump higher and build power.
The registration fee is $125 per
week, with the fee reduced to $115 for
early bird registrations one week prior
to the start of camp.
For more information, call 416-
951-6339 or email leonf@tripledouble.

Pickering Panthers
pick up trio in trades
PICKERING -- The Pickering Pan-
thers have added three more players
to the fold for 2010-11.
Pickering made trades with the
Streetsville Derby’s, scooping up for-
ward Evan Bruno and defenceman
Joseph Sarracini, while in another
deal with the Villanova Knights they
acquired defenceman James Doering.
In Bruno, the Panthers get a
former 11th-round draft pick of the
Oshawa Generals, with nine goals and
25 points in 38 games last season.
Sarracini split last season
between the Derby’s and Markham
Waxers, compiling 6-15-21 totals in 45
games.
Doering, meanwhile, is a 1993-
born Ajax native who had two goals
and seven points for the Knights last
season.
The acquisitions of those three
bring the Panthers’ total of recent
additions up to six. In previous deals
with Streetsville and Markham over
the past few weeks, the team has also
added forwards Matthew Galati, Matt
Baldassara and Billy Lovitsis.
Major series lacrosse
Losing skid hits six for Rock
Major series league
lacrosse club falls to
Brampton, six Nations
BraD kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The losses are mounting, but the
frustration isn’t setting in for the Ajax Rock.
“No. Not at all,” said GM/head coach Paul
St. John after his club lost a pair of Major
Series Lacrosse games over the weekend, 7-6
to Brampton on their home floor at the Ajax
Community Centre on Friday and 17-5 in Six
Nations on Saturday.
It was their fifth and sixth losses in a row,
dropping them to 1-10-0 on the season.
“We played real well against Brampton and
they got two goals in the last four minutes of
the game to get the win,” reasoned St. John.
“Their experience won over, and our inexpe-
rience shot us in the foot again.
“You get frustrated at the time when it hap-
pens because that was a winnable game. But
when you look at it, you have to find the posi-
tives out of it.”
Those being the defence and goaltend-
ing of Tyler Carson, who allowed just seven
goals.
The Rock led 5-4 heading into the final 20
minutes, and 6-5 with 8:24 to go. But Bramp-
ton scored twice in 1:06 with under four min-
utes to go to tie and then win the game.
In Six Nations on Saturday, it was close
for a period with the Rock down 4-2. But
Six Nations turned it up to a level the Rock
couldn’t equal, outscoring them 6-1 in the
second and 7-2 in the third for the 17-5 final.
“You never like to admit this as a coach, but
I’ll admit it after games to anybody, it was a
fun game to watch that team play,” said St.
John, who marvelled at the skill level of Six
Nations. “They are a good club. They move
the ball well. Like our owner Rob Roche said,
‘We just played the Toronto Rock.’
“You look at that lineup and they are tal-
ented.”
St. John reminded his players after the
game that at one time not so long ago, Six
Nations were at the bottom of the league and
have built a strong program, something his
Rock is striving to achieve in the next two to
three years.
One of the bright spots through the week-
end continued to be the play of Jason Main-
er, who leads the team with 16-21-37 point
totals through 11 games. He scored four
of the seven goals against Brampton, and
added a goal and assist the following night in
Six Nations.
“He plays hard every night, as do most of
our offensive guys. We just don’t get the
results. Jason seems to be one guy this year
that is getting some results,” praised St.
John of the team’s leading scorer, who was
acquired in last season’s expansion draft.
“He wants to win, like they all do, but you
see a different passion with him.”
The Rock will get back at it Thursday in
Brampton before hosting Six Nations on Fri-
day at 8 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre.

Jr. B lacrosse
Levick leading Ironheads into playoffs
sniper sits
atop team
scoring race
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- As a team, the
Ironheads Jr. B lacrosse
club based in Ajax has had
a breakthrough season,
improving on its four wins
from last year to qualify
for the playoffs this time
around.
Individually, a number of
players have contributed to
the turn-around, including
Brock Levick who, for the
second season in a row, sits
atop the club’s scoring race.
But this time around, the
Newmarket resident is even
better than he was a year
ago, with much of the credit
going to his maturation as a
player after completing his
freshman year with the field
lacrosse program at Medai-
lle College in Buffalo, New
York.
“I think this year, just from
playing in the States, I’ve
added a couple of things to
my game,” says the 19 year
old. “I think I’m a bit faster
than I was last year and my
vision on the floor is a bit
better.”
Those improvements to
his game have helped Levick
put up 32-37-69 numbers
through 19 games this sea-
son, an improvement over
the 29-26-55 point totals he
registered with the 4-16-0
Ironheads last season.
Levick’s coach, Ron Reed,
has noticed a difference in
the young sniper from last
year.
“I think he’s matured.
He’s going to school in the
States on a scholarship and
I think playing down there
has really helped him,”
praises Reed. “He’s smart-
er, he moves the ball better
now, he’s making smart-
er decisions with the ball
when to shoot and when to
pass, and he’s hustling a lot
more.”
Levick’s maturity and
experience in the league.
as he also played for New-
market after graduating
through the minor ranks of
the Redbirds, garnered an
‘A’ on his sweater this sea-
son, with the expectation of
taking more of a leadership
role.
“I don’t have to ask him
for leadership, he’s a natu-
ral leader,” says Reed. “He’s
got the respect of his peers
and his coaches.”
While his offensive out-
put speaks volumes on the
floor, Levick doesn’t shy
away from speaking up in
the dressing room when it’s
needed.
“I’m more of a vocal
guy,” he says of his leader-
ship style. “I think just hav-
ing the experience in the
league, I like talking to the
younger guys and try to get
them going and to do their
best on the floor.”
As for his enrollment at
Medaille, where he is study-
ing sports management at
the North East Athletic Con-
ference Division III school,
the school was familiar
with the family name. It
was his older brother, Brad,
who ingrained the Levick
name into the memory of
the Mavericks field lacrosse
team.
In his senior year at Elmi-
ra College, the elder Levick
scored 10 times and added
three assists in a 24-18 win
over Medaille, setting a sin-
gle-game points record for
his team.
Before enrolling at Medai-
lle last fall, Levick also
played junior level hockey,
registering 14 goals and 13
assists in 35 games for the
Georgina Ice of the Cen-
tral Jr. C league during the
2009-2010 season.
THe scooP
The Ironheads lost their sixth
game in a row Saturday night,
falling 10-7 to Akwesasne at
the Ajax Community Centre.
Brock Levick scored twice, with
singles to Cade Zulak, Dakota
Watson, Adam Zulak, Mike
Beirgard and Tyler Roche.
George Jimas had four assists
... The loss dropped the Iron-
heads to 9-10-0 heading into the
final game of the regular season
Tuesday night (after our dead-
line) at home to Halton Hills ...
The Ironheads will finish seventh
overall in the East Conference,
with a likely first-round playoff
matchup coming against Halton
Hills.
ryan Pfeiffer / MeTroland
AJAX -- Brock Levick, of the Ajax-based Ironheads,
leads the Jr. B lacrosse team in scoring this season. The
Newmarket resident will be heading back to Medaille
College in the fall for his sophomore year on the field
lacrosse team.

Durham Masters win gold
with eye towards worlds
Tops in free
team division
at provincials
PETERBOROUGH -- The
Durham Synchro Club’s
masters team seems deter-
mined to upgrade the silver
medal won at the 2010 FINA
world championships.
With the 2012 competi-
tion in Italy still more than
a year away, the team has
been dominant closer to
home.
Taking part in the 2011
Masters open provincials at
the Trent University Aquat-
ic Centre, the Durham team
shook up the competition
with a dramatic routine.
There were no surpris-
es when they took the
top podium spot in the
18-34-year-old free team
division, topping six other
competitive teams.
Coached by DSC’s head
coach, Holley Lundmark,
team members Anna
Ardron, Melissa Dermody,
Kirsten Femson, Meaghan
Hartwell, Kendra Jacobs,
Rebecca Jasper, Jenilee Kes-
lering, Lauren Lepage and
Julia Maclean looked pow-
erful and elegant in stun-
ning routine suits featur-
ing a clawed hand applique
with fiery red nails sewn to
the back of their suits.
Exaggerated expressions
conveyed the ferocity of the
emotional content of the
routine and powerful high-
lights left the crowd want-
ing to see more from this
team.
See www.durhamsyn-
chro.com for more about
the club.

FORBES, Frieda - With sadness, we announce
the peaceful passing of Frieda Forbes on
Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at Toronto Grace
Hospital, in her ninetieth year. Predeceased
by her loving husband Jim Forbes in 1988,
and her son Richard in 2003, Frieda leaves a
legacy of a pioneer life well lived, with much
joy and laughter. Born Frieda Schoster in
Arica, Chile in a family of nine children, she
met and married Canadian miner Jim Forbes
in 1942 in Peru, and ventured to Canada's
north with him in 1951. She raised six chil-
dren, moving across the country from the
mining town of Cassiar, BC, to finally settle in
Ajax, Ontario. She had a gift for exquisite
leather work and was naturally adept at every
craft she attempted. Frieda was a world
traveler, facilitated by her mastery of four
languages. An accomplished musician, she
played the organ and piano for church servic-
es, and was a formidable force at the bridge
table. Frieda is survived by five children,
Maria (Millie) of Ajax, ON and her daughter
Nicole; John and his wife Dianne of High
River, AB, and their children John, David and
Jennifer; Jennifer and her husband Norman
Gardner of Santa Barbara, CA; Rick's daugh-
ter Angela of Edmonton, AB; Gerry of Sable
Island, NS; Robert and his wife Pat of
Victoria, BC, and his daughters Stephanie
and Kim. In addition, Frieda leaves five great-
grandchildren. She is also survived by sisters
Sophie, Elsa and Pilar. Private service with
interment at the RESTHAVEN MEMORIAL GARDENS on St. Clair Avenue in Toronto. In
lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to
the Canadian Cancer Society, the Heart and
Stroke Fund, or the CNIB. Online condolenc-
es may be placed atwww.mceachniefuneral.ca
KEVEZA, Cathy (nee Russell) - "A Member of

daughter to Patricia Russell and the late Alex
Russell. Dear sister and friend to Laurie
(Ted Morris) and Anne (Gary Coutts) Sadly
missed daughter in law to Agnes and the
late Dan Sr. and sister in law to Nancy
(Bill Riddell) and Gail (Bob Chesney). Also
sadly missed by her many nieces, nephews,
friends and colleagues. Friends and family
will be received for visitation at the TAYLOR FUNERAL HOME, 524 Davis
Drive, Newmarket on Tuesday June 21 from
