Lands owned by the Province of Ontario on the northwest corner of Hwy. 401 and Liv- erpool Road are under scrutiny to determine future work along the highway from Warden Avenue in Scarborough to Brock Road in Pickering to accommodate growth. The Liverpool land has been identified as a possible commuter parking lot. This doesn’t make sense to Ward 2 Region- al Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson. They pointed out the nearby Pickering GO Transit park- ing lot is set to expand and another parking tower is currently going up north of Hwy. 401, east of Liverpool. A new office tower is also set to go next to the parking tower, along with a pedestrian bridge that will take people from Pickering Parkway to the GO station, and the area is designated to be Pickering’s downtown hub. Adding another parking lot is moving in the wrong direction, said Coun. McLean. “It flies in the face of sustainability, our downtown revitalization and our Province’s Places to Grow,” he said, referring to the Pro- vincial document that identifies Pickering as one of two urban growth centres in Ontario’s future. “Parking lots do not create jobs,” he added. The land is 4.3 hectares and would be ideal for a storm water management pond plus mixed-use buildings with residences and businesses, a park and even some recre- ational activities, said Coun. Dickerson. “That way, you make it a part of the com- munity,” he said. He said the Province should be glad Pickering has embraced sustainable initia- tives for its anticipated growth. “Once we get this going, this is going to kick-start plans along Kingston Road for the next 30 years,” he said. But that land becoming a commuter lot would only cater to people living further east who park in Pickering to take the GO train downtown, said Coun. McLean. He suggest- ed it would drive away business and jobs and increase taxes due to lack of revenue. “It will be a missed opportunity,” he said. Coun. Dickerson said the opportunities for that land are endless. He pointed out it’s accessible and visible and would be extreme- ly attractive to businesses. “Someone putting a parking lot there just doesn’t make sense to me,” especially con- sidering the recent drive to get people out of their cars and using public transit, he said. The two councillors plan to bring a motion to council in September to ensure the lands are used wisely. They hope Pickering-Scar- borough East MPP Wayne Arthurs will rep- resent Pickering’s views to the Province. Mr. Arthurs, who’s familiar with the issue both as MPP and as former Pickering mayor, said the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has identified the possible commuter lot to ease westbound traffic and get some cars off the road. While the lot at the GO station is expanding, he said access to that lot isn’t easy for westbound commuters and only creates traffic. But he feels there is room for both a park- ing lot and employment on the Liverpool land. “I think one can accommodate that as well as use some of the lands that are appropriate for development,” he said. He feels an office type of development would be best for the land, noting it makes sense to intensify that downtown Pickering area. He said Pickering has great growth potential and acknowledged the City itself has been doing its part to encourage density in its downtown core. “Lots of good things are happening,” he said, referring to the future bridge and tower. He noted the Province identified Pickering as a future growth centre in the first place, adding the Province owning that land can maximize the potential of that area.

City to gets millions in community enhancements, road improvements KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The City and York Region have reached a settlement regarding the long battle over the Big Pipe. The settlement means York Region will go ahead with its twinning of the southeast collector trunk sanitary sewer, which brings 90 per cent of York’s sew- age to the water pollution control plant in Pickering for treatment. But the City will get a $10.3-million commitment in community enhancements, including $2.6 million toward the Waterfront Trail, plus $1.6 million in road improvements and an additional $377,000 in staff fund- ing. “I’m pleased that we were able to nego- tiate a settlement that is in favour to the City of Pickering,” Mayor Dave Ryan said in an interview. He added the settlement includes a one-hour response time commitment by York Region in case there are any complaints, specifically with odours, and keeping an inventory nearby of the equipment needed to address any prob- lems. The pipe was originally built in the 1970s, and York made plans in 2008 to expand the plant to accommodate future growth. After residents, especially those from the Cherrywood West subdivision, where York was planning to build an odour control facility to accommodate the expansion, found out, the group Stop the Stink was formed. After constant pressure from the cit- izens’ group, Durham Region voted against hosting the facility in Pickering. York Regional Chairman Bill Fisch and Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson later signed off on an agree- ment to move the facility within York Region boundaries last summer. Still unsatisfied with the plans, and citing York Region’s lack of consulta- tion with the residents of Pickering, the City last fall initiated legal action against York Region. In the meantime, the minister of the environment, John Gerretsen, approved the environmental assessment for York’s plans, adding a number of conditions to his approval. At the last council meeting before sum- mer break, Mayor Ryan announced the City chose to drop the lawsuit, claiming a number of legal opinions indicated the City would lose the battle. Residents, including mayoral candi- date Maurice Brenner, challenged the City’s decision at a recent protest at City Hall. “We thought the mayor was leading a fight on our behalf,” Mr. Brenner said. “What has changed?” Mayor Ryan said dropping the suit and negotiating a settlement was the respon- sible course of action, especially since Mr. Gerretsen approved the EA and said in a letter to Mayor Ryan he would not reverse his decision. “It was important and it was the right thing to do,” said Mayor Ryan. “We understand that not everybody is pleased that we’ve taken this course of action. The important point is we couldn’t win. All of our legal opinions were telling us we couldn’t win at this point.” Mayor Ryan said the costs could have gotten out of hand. “We were literally talking potentially tens of millions of dollars in liability,” he said. Mayor Ryan said although the pipe’s expansion couldn’t be stopped, he thanked the community, especially Stop the Stink, for playing a big role in pushing the odour control facility out of Pickering. “It was their involvement and their col- lective energy that helped us (gain) the political opposition to ensure that hap- pened,” he said. The City ended up paying about $320,000 in legal fees before dropping the suit, Mayor Ryan said. Although Pickering’s legal costs weren’t recovered, York is paying $377,000 so the City can support a staff engineer to mon- itor the pipe’s expansion. -- With files from Jeff Mitchell Orchard Villa Where Everyone is Family Orchard Villa RETIREMENT RESIDENCE 1955 Valley Farm Rd.

No one hurt, cat rescued in townhouse fire KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A fire that caused a lot of damage to a Pickering townhouse Tuesday afternoon has been deemed accidental, but officials say it started from “smokers’ materials.” Nobody was injured in the fire at the Bayly Street and West Shore Boule- vard area townhouse Aug. 10. Pickering Fire Services got the call around 12:10 p.m., with the first truck on the scene within four minutes, said Deputy Chief Gord Ferguson. By the time the crew arrived, the flames had been minimized thanks to some maintenance workers installing a nearby walkway. “They tried to put it out themselves before we got there using a garden hose,” he said. Mr. Ferguson commended the work- ers for reducing the fire without put- ting themselves in danger by dousing the flames they could reach near the front door, which cooled down the room. “It was a nice gesture on their part,” he said. Three trucks were on the scene and firefighters managed to put the blaze out quickly. Nobody was home at the time but firefighters saved the family pet that was hiding under a bed in the base- ment. “The firefighters went in looking for residents and came out with a cat,” Mr. Ferguson said, adding the homeown- ers were ecstatic with the good news. Some smoke sifted into the adjoin- ing townhouses, but didn’t cause any damage. Mr. Ferguson said the cause has been determined as accidental due to smoking materials. “When we sifted through the debris, it appears it started in a wastepaper basket in the living room,” he said. The damage is estimated at $150,000 to the contents and $25,000 to the structure. The family is expected to be out of the home for at least a couple of weeks, Mr. Ferguson said.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Pickering parking lot plan by Province not ‘smart growth’ Successive provincial governments in Ontario have talked a lot about ‘smart growth’ for more than a decade. The princi- ples behind the policy, ostensibly to man- age sustainable growth in communities across the province, espouse such notions as a strong economy, strong communities and a healthy environment. Why, then, is the Province considering a plot of land at the northwest corner of Liv- erpool Road and Bayly Street for a parking lot? The intersection is part of a new hub of medium- and high-density develop- ment with a new townhouse and condo- minium development underway on the southwest edge of the intersection. The Pickering GO station on the northeast cor- ner already provides parking and a new pedestrian overpass and parking facility is being constructed on a nearby parcel of land at the Pickering Town Centre. Single family homes exist south of Bayly Street all the way down to Lake Ontario. It makes no sense, given the efforts of Pickering council to redevelop the area, to use the 4.3-hectare parcel of land on the northwest corner as a commuter parking lot. That view is shared strongly by Pickering Councillors Bill McLean and Doug Dicker- son, who would prefer a mixed-use devel- opment to help complete the redevelop- ment of this important intersection in the Millennium City. Indeed, the notion of a commuter park- ing lot seems a throwaway idea from the Province, one floated without any knowl- edge of the local land developments and the community surrounding it. Aside from the negative esthetic impact a parking lot would have on this redeveloped corner of Pickering, it makes little practical sense. An abundance of new parking spac- es will become available with the comple- tion of the new pedestrian overpass just a couple of hundred metres north of this lot. Current MPP Wayne Arthurs -- the for- mer mayor of Pickering and one who knows well the effort behind several near- by developments -- took a middle-of-the- road approach to the issue, suggesting both mixed-use developments and a commuter parking lot for Toronto-bound residents could be combined on the site. That’s not good enough. City councillors have made clear their vision is sound and well on its way to com- pletion as it relates to this south Pickering intersection. The Province should review the area, reconsider its parking plan and work with City officials to reach a mutually workable compromise. If ‘smart growth’ is the currently man- dated approach to development, surely the Province can see that what it is current- ly proposing doesn’t fit with the smarter approach being taken here at home. -- Pickering News Advertiser PET CARE Hot cars are no place to leave your pets To the editor: I’m amazed at the number of pet own- ers who still leave their pets in a car dur- ing the hot summer days. Every year, dogs die after being locked inside cars while their owners shop or run errands. These are tragic deaths that are com- pletely preventable. People need to know the facts. When it is 22 C outside, the temperature in your car can reach 46 C within an hour. When it is 29 C outside, the temperature inside the car can reach 39 C in 10 minutes and 49 C in 30 minutes, even with the windows cracked. Dogs can only endure higher body tem- peratures for a short time before they experience brain, nerve and heart dam- age which can lead to death. A hot car is no place to leave an animal unattended. Carol Fitzmaurice Ajax *** A simple thank you would have been nice To the editor: My daughter Vicki, who is a kind and thoughtful person, rescued a small stray dog in her neighbourhood. She called the Durham animal shelter to see if anyone had reported a lost dog and then walked around her neighbour- hood knocking on doors to try and find its owner. The dog was dirty and had burrs all over its fur so she gave it a bath and fed it and kept it inside her house overnight. She then put up posters around her neighbourhood with her phone number and a photo of the dog and also asked anyone she met if they knew who the dog belonged to. The next night, a very rude woman called and said, “so you have my dog,” and came to retrieve it. When my daughter asked her if she would mind taking down the posters that she had hung up, the dog’s owner simply brushed her off. My daughter even gave the woman the remainder of the can of dog food she had used. The owner left with her dog and didn’t once thank my daughter for her trouble. Joeann Millard Oshawa AUTOMOTIVE Electric cars won’t be replacing our gas guzzlers anytime soon To the editor: Re: Article in the July 28 edition of Dur- ham Wheels concerning the development of the electric car to replace the standard gasoline-powered car. In my opinion, we are far away from replacing gasoline with electric, if ever. The major problem is the limitation imposed by battery technology. A major scientific breakthrough would be required and that doesn’t appear to be at hand after more than 150 years of battery develop- ment. Any electric car has a very short range and long recharging time measured in hours. A gasoline car can be “recharged” in a few minutes and has a range five to 10 times further than electric. This limits the electric car to short-range use only. These facts, however, don’t stop politi- cians from “investing” our tax money in pursuing the dream of electric to replace gasoline. I say leave these projects to the private sector and stop wasting our tax funds.

The “renewable is doable” coalition, which includes Green- peace, the Pembina Institute and the World Wildlife Fund, is to release a report Tuesday calling for Ontario to boost its tar- gets for renewable energy. “Ontario cannot afford to stay on the nuclear path,” the report argues, citing the $26 billion that was quoted by suppli- ers in 2009 for two new nuclear reactors in Ontario, to replace the aging Pickering station. The Province rejected the bids as too high. The coalition’s report says customers would have to pay 20 cents a kilowatt hour on the energy portion of their electricity bill to pay for new nuclear power at those prices. “Ontario’s energy policy is still based on decisions made in 2006 when nuclear costs were claimed to be low and renew- able energy costs were claimed to be high,” Shawn-Patrick Stensil of Greenpeace said in an interview. “The context has significantly changed, so the government has good reason to rethink its policies,” Mr. Stensil said. Ontario’s Pickering nuclear generating station has about a decade of life left before it must close down. The Province’s current policy is to replace it with new nuclear power. But the coalition says a basket of renewable sources -- including wind, hydroelectric, solar and “biogas” collected from decomposing manure, forestry waste and landfills - could do the job for 13.5 cents a kilowatt hour. It would be augmented by power from highly efficient com- bined heat and power plants that produce both electricity and heat for housing or industry, plus additional conservation measures to damp down demand. The report notes that Ontario’s thirst for power is already shrinking. Consumption peaked in 2005 at 157 terawatt hours; last year it was 139 terawatt hours. (A terawatt hour is a billion kilowatt hours.) The report doesn’t address what forms of energy might be needed to balance variable sources of energy, especially wind. Wind currently occupies a small niche in Ontario power production: Last year it generated just 2.3 terawatt hours, or 1.7 per cent of Ontario’s electricity. The report calls for wind to contribute about 7 terawatt hours, or triple the current output. But wind power has to be balanced by other forms of generation that can quickly be ramped up or down to offset the variations in wind. That offsetting generation is generally provided by fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal. Ontario plans to eliminate coal-fired generators by 2014. Mr. Stensil noted that nuclear energy also has buried costs. For example, the Bruce A and Pickering A nuclear stations were shut down for a decade or more. (Two Pickering A reac- tors will never restart.) The cost of having that much idle capacity, and the cost of replacing that power, is never included when nuclear operat- ing costs are quoted, he said. Big nuclear construction projects in Ontario have invariably run over budget, he added.

At WindReach, people of all abilities, including people with special needs, can interact with the outdoors and farm animals. There are two parts to the event, which will be held at the farm in Ashburn in Whitby. “Doors open at 5 o’clock and we have a pre-show gala and we’re doing a mini Taste of Durham,” said Ms. James. “We have sever- al restaurants and bistros from across Dur- ham that have donated food for us.” There will also be live outdoor perfor- mances at the farm, a silent auction and cocktails. For the second part of the evening guests will fill up the barn for dance performances which will be a mix of styles including ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip hop and tap. Emceeing the event will be entertainer Mike Chalut, Style by Jury’s David Clemmer and Bruce Turner and Canadian Idol’s Zack Werner. There will also be celebrity dancers. “We have Everett Smith, he was top four for the Canadian So You Think You Can Dance for the second season and Danny Lawn who was on So You Think You Can Dance Cana- da season two as well,” said Ms. James. The pros will be joined by competitive amateur dance students from Durham. “Really, for Kerry and I, it’s important to see kids get involved in charities and giv- ing back and I think that’s our biggest thing about our event,” said Ms. James. “One of the unique things about our event is we do involve the kids as well as the professionals, so they’re learning as well.” Tickets are $50 and include food samples.

Brady got a call from GM Rob Toffoli on Monday afternoon, letting him know he was being replaced behind the bench of the Panthers. It was the first time the former coach had any indication his job was in jeopardy, he said. Since the Panthers merged with the Ajax Attack in the spring, they have replaced former GM Keith Pandovski with Toffoli, and now Brady with new head coach John Goodwin. Up until Monday, Brady had every intention of being in charge when the main training camp opens on Monday, Aug. 23. “When the two teams merged, there was a meeting and in a room of people it was announced the Pickering coaching staff would be staying on board mov- ing forward,” said Brady of the vote of confidence back in the spring. “If they wanted to go in another direction when the two ownership groups came togeth- er, there would have been no hard feelings. We would have shook hands, wished each other the best of luck and moved for- ward. “I question the integrity when all summer you run a rookie camp, a free agent camp, you are calling your players to com- municate to them about certain events, you set up your main camp and then two weeks prior to main camp, you get a call say- ing there’s been a change. “I was caught off guard. My whole summer revolved around camp starting Aug. 23 and I had no indication otherwise. Let’s say the season would have started and they gave us five or 10 games and then made a change, well that’s the business, no problem at all. That stuff happens, you accepts it and move forward.” Toffoli said the decision to remove Brady was made by a group within the organization. “It’s not something we were planning on doing,” he said. “It’s never a good time, but it’s not something we planned on doing. The timing is never good for it. I have to do what I think is going to be best for the team. “I’m just trying to shake things up a bit to show that we are com- mitted to bringing better players, better coaches in to improve the team.” Last season, the Panthers fin- ished last in the 10-team East Conference, posting a record of 15-31-4 under Brady, missing out on the playoffs by 15 points. The hockey club had a terrible start and finish, opening the sea- son with eight straight losses and ending it by losing nine of its last 10 games. The highlight was a five-game winning streak that immediately followed the eight- game streak to start. As for his next step, Brady isn’t sure what the future holds. Coaching staffs of most teams have already been secured with training camps set to open in the next couple of weeks. For now, he is going to take some time off. “Why get involved again? For what?” he said of the bitter mind- set he has at this point. As for the Panthers, they will hit the ice under Goodwin on Aug. 23 at the Ajax Community Centre. Training camp will con- sist of six practices and five exhi- bition games running through to Sept. 2. I was caught off guard. My whole summer revolved around (training) camp starting August 23 .

GOLF Pestell adds to gold collection Pickering golfer getting better PICKERING -- As the summer goes along, Connor Pestell continues to get better. Last month, the Pickering golf- er won his fourth gold medal of the year. After being down by four shots after three holes, he finished strong with a par, birdie, par and birdie on the final four holes to win by two shots. He ended up with his best score for the season with a four over 40 at the Innisfil Creek Golf Club. He also won a gold medal in his previous tournament at Whis- pering Ridge in Whitby in lat July where he shot a 39. In the 10 tournaments he has entered, Pestell has four golds, three silvers and two bronze med- als. The eight year old does most of his practice at the Deer Creek facil- ity. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 1 2 , 2 0 1 0 15 AP Fall 2010 AJAX PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER Come and see Durham’s leadingCome and see Durham’s leading source.comwedding For vendor information please contact Laurie McCaig at 905-683-5110 ext 230 or email lmccaig@durhamregion.com wedding professionalswedding professionals "2)$!,$%3)2%3"2)$!,$%3)2%3 ).#).# MakeUp by LENA Sight & Sound In partnership withSponsored by PICKERING PHOTO In the village Sunday, September 19Sunday, September 19 11am - 5pm11am - 5pm Ajax Convention CentreAjax Convention Centre Tickets at the door $6.00 each or 2 for $10Tickets at the door $6.00 each or 2 for $10 or $4 each online at durhamweddingsource.comor $4 each online at durhamweddingsource.com MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE Redmen awarded two wins in lacrosse semifinal Peterborough stripped of victories for using ineligible player BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- The Brook- lin Redmen have been awarded wins in the first two games of their Major Series Lacrosse semifinal against the Peterborough Lakers. The Lakers were dis- ciplined by the Ontario Lacrosse Association and Major Series Lacrosse Tuesday for dressing and playing Kyle Laverty, who was to have been serving a three-game suspension. As a result, Peterbor- ough victories of 12-6 Aug. 5 and 15-12 Aug. 6 have been overturned, which gave the Redmen a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, with Game 4 last night in Whitby, after our deadline. Laverty did not play in a 12-7 Lakers win in Peter- borough Monday, the day the Lakers were report- edly told he should have been under suspension. Wayne Colley, head coach and general man- ager of the Redmen, says he knew nothing about it until informed by the league on Tuesday night. “At first I thought it was a joke,” he said. “They called up and told me what was going on and I was like, ‘OK it’s not April Fool’s Day’. I had no idea.” Laverty was assessed his second game misconduct within a 10-game span in the Lakers’ regular sea- son finale July 22 against the Ajax-Pickering Rock, which brings with it an automatic three-game suspension, although one could have been bought back by paying a fine, according to Colley. “Usually the OLA noti- fies the teams of player suspensions, that has been standard procedure in the past,” it reads on the Lak- ers’ website. “However, in this situation the OLA did not inform the Peterbor- ough Lakers of Kyle Laver- ty’s suspension until the Monday afternoon.” Colley says the rules given to him at the start of the season clearly state the onus is on the teams to understand and enforce fines and suspensions. OLA rules state that games will be forfeited if an ineligible player is used. “It’s the right decision,” Colley says. “Rules are rules.” The Redmen will still have their hands full with the Lakers, who have been the class of the league this season and finished 21 points ahead of Brook- lin in 16 regular-season games. Games 5 and 6 will now be necessary, in Peterbor- ough Sunday and Whitby Monday, both at 8 p.m. A possible seventh game would be in Peterborough next Wednesday at 8 p.m. “We’ve been in pretty much every game,” says Colley. “Anything can hap- pen now.” SUBMITTED PHOTO Big winners BOLTON -- The Ajax Spartans Mosquito rep team went undefeated in the Bolton Braves annual baseball tournament.

I have sought to help others by good deeds and have tried to live as the commandments set forth in the Bible. I have had faith to sustain me. I have also had lots of fun in my life. The ability and leisure to enjoy are not given to all people of this world. I can say with honesty that I have had a better life than I dreamed I would have and so many wonderful people have contributed to this. All I can say is thank you."
