Hwy. 407 ON A FROZEN POND IN PICKERING extension through Pickering will be toll road

By Reka Szekely [email protected]

DURHAM — The Hwy. 407 extension through Durham will be a toll road owned by the Province, the ministry of transportation announced Tuesday. The Province also revealed the highway’s construction costs will be paid for by the private sector, though details on how the Province will pay back the costs were not yet available. The extension is slated to run from Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115 in Clarington. “Motorists who use the 407 eastern ex- tension will pay for the highway, freeing up provincial investment dollars for other priorities such as public transit,” said Trans- portation Minister Jim Bradley in a prepared statement. “Our approach to extend the 407 eastward will allow us to maintain public ownership of this stretch of highway and regulate the tolls.” The announcement includes a “lessons learned” section, referring to sale of the ex- isting portion of the 407 to the private sec- tor. The Province will set and regulate tolls and deal with customer-service issues, including complaints. However, this will not impact tolls on the Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo existing portion because the sale agreement PICKERING — Chris Mueller lines up a shot at the net while Ryan Law, left, Blake Fraser and Brandon Gaulin defend during a game of shinny on the pond at Pine Creek Park. with 407ETR included the legal right for the company to set tolls as long as certain mini-

PICKERING — The Herongate Barn The- atre and Ajax actress Fran Stecyk just naturally seem to go together. Stecyk, who’s tread the boards at the vener- able Pickering dinner theatre in past produc- tions, is back to perform again, starting next month, in one of her most challenging roles there to date. This time, good friend and Pickering resi- dent Daryl Marks stars with Stecyk in ‘Twice Around the Park’ by American playwright Murray Schisgal. Herongate audiences will be treated to two, one-act plays in which she and Marks play two different characters. It’s challenging insofar as they’re the only two actors in the entire production. Even more taxing is the change in characters for each play. Despite the level of difficulty involved for the actors, Stecyk says she’s at home at Her- ongate and extremely happy to be sharing the bill with Marks, whom she describes as a great comedic actor. “He’s an absolutely fabulous comedic actor,” said Stecyk, who recently finished her annual stint of carolling through the holiday season. “He really excels in this play and it’s so much Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser fun playing off him.” Frances Stecyk and Daryl Marks rehearse for the upcoming Herongate Barn Theatre’s production of ‘Twice Around the Park’, two one-act plays that look at love with wackiness and broad satire. The production runs Feb. 6 to March 21 at the theatre. The first play, ‘A Need for Brussels Sprouts’, follows a middle-aged actor, Leon Rose then leads to another. marriage. older Jewish woman.
