day to preview
potential summer
project opportunities

DURHAM — University stu-
dents could soon be working on
research projects that range from
machines that see through walls
to food industry slave labour.
During the Jan. 31 University
of Ontario Institute of Technol-
ogy (UOIT) Student Research
Connections Day those inter-
ested were introduced to vari-
ous projects in which their pro-
fessors are involved, as well as
funding award opportunities and
summer positions for which they
could apply.
“I think students may not re-
ally understand all the things
their professors are involved in,”
said Deborah Van Oosten, grants
officer.
“This is to get them to see the
other side of their professors.”
During the research presen-
tations, students heard about
projects including wood com-
positions, mobile manipulator
systems, alternative fuels, para-
sitic drug discovery, energy from
plants and more.
Mike Eklund said some of the
things he’s working on include
assisted living technology and
autonomous vehicles.
“Love to have some people
working on those projects,” said
Mr. Eklund.
In the faculty of criminology
justice and poverty studies, some
research includes factors con-
tributing to boys being violent,
violence against First Nations
people and intimate partner vio-

the research side
of professors
lence among others.
“We study all the fun stuff,” said Ron
Hinch. “Violence, wrongful convictions ...
slavery.”
Mr. Hinch’s project deals with slavery in
the food industry, particularly for choco-
late, coffee and bananas.
Its focus is on government oversight, co-
operation and assistance in the industry
that relies heavily on slave labour, espe-
cially children.
“A pproximately half of the world’s choc-
olate is produced through child slave la-
bour,” said Mr. Hinch.
He added if students have any questions
about projects they can come and see
him.
Presenting for the school of energy sys-
tems and nuclear science, Ed Waller en-
couraged students to apply for summer re-
search positions even if they don’t obtain a
funding award.
One of his research projects includes
coded aperture X-ray imaging.
“This is my seeing through walls proj-
ect,” said Mr. Waller. The project involves
X-ray technology to reveal what’s on the
other side of a wall.
Ms. Van Oosten said students interest-
ed in summer research opportunities can
apply for funding awards and talk directly
to faculty members. She said there are
more than 20 awards available.
Last year, about 50 students were in-
volved in research projects.
Andrew Lukomski, a second-year nucle-
ar engineering student, was impressed by
some of the projects presented during the
event.
“For cancer research, it’s great to see
cures for cancer are trying to be solved
right here at UOIT,” he said. He added one
of the school’s faculty members also wants
to put solar panels on highways to create
power generation.
“Research is so much more than just
academic work,” said Mr. Lukomski. “Re-
search here directly impacts society; re-
search to solve problems.”
Mr. Lukomski wants to get involved in
research projects this summer, either for
fluid mechanics or investigating neutrons
through pipes.

AJAX — Three teens are facing several
charges after an evening of break-ins in
Ajax.
Officers from 19 Division (Ajax/
Pickering) responded to reports of suspi-
cious youths in the area of Carter-Bennet
Drive and Temple West Crescent in Ajax.
Police report the youths were seen
peering into a front door window of a
home and entering several backyards on
Te mple West Crescent.
When officers arrived they located and
arrested several males fleeing from a
home in the subdivision.
Further investigation revealed the two
homes had been broken into and a quan-
tity of property had been taken from the
residences.
One 16 year old and two 15 year olds, all
from Ajax, are charged with two counts of
break and enter and mischief.
The 16 year old and one 15 year old is
further charged with breaching a court
order.

‘People need
dignity and that
can’t come on
the backs of
the taxpayers’
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Social ser-
vices can’t be put on the
back burner any longer.
That’s the message a
group of residents and the
Strong Communities Coali-
tion (SCC) plans to take to
the provincial and federal
governments.
“It is actually people who
are suffering from the lack of
funding,” said Edna Klazek,
chief executive officer of
the United Way of Ajax,
Pickering and Uxbridge.
Residents and represen-
tatives from various social
service agencies
heard from a panel
of six experts on
Jan. 29. The event
was organized by
the SCC, an alli-
ance of the United
Ways of Oakville,
Peel, York, Dur-
ham and the
Greater Toronto
Area (GTA)/ 905
Healthcare Alli-
ance.
“Our vision is
comprehensive, quality
health care and social ser-
vices be readily and locally
accessible to all GTA resi-
dents in a timely fashion,”
Ms. Klazek said. “Equal op-
portunity for all Ontarians.”
The group is advocating
for equitable and sustain-
able funding policies and
formulae for health and
social services in the GTA
communities.
“We want to speak out on
the need to improve access
to health and social ser-
vices for over three million
residents in the GTA,” Ms.
Klazek said.
In October the annual
operating funding gap for
social services in the GTA
was at $551 million and has
since grown to $668 million.
The hospital services gap
stands at nearly $900 mil-
lion.
“That is over a billion dol-
lars less per capita funding
that we are getting than the
rest of Ontario,” Ms. Klazek
said.
The Province’s funding
for health and social ser-
vices has not kept pace
with the rapid growth seen
in the 905 region, and with
Durham Region continu-
ing to grow at a rapid rate
Ms. Klazek said the region
is facing some significant
problems.
“Property taxes should
not be paying for these
services, that is part of our
problem,” said Oshawa Re-
gional Councillor April Cul-
len. “It is regressive, it is pu-
nitive and it is wrong.”
She spoke about the im-
pact of the funding gap on
people with disabilities.
“ODSP (Ontario Disabil-
ity Support Program) is a
pittance. You have people
living on that who through
no fault of their own cannot
work,” Coun. Cullen said.
“We need some recogni-
tion at the provincial level
that people need dignity
and that can’t come on the
backs of the taxpayers.”
Dr. Walter DeKeseredy,
a UOIT professor
of criminology,
justice and pol-
icy studies, said
adequate social
services leads to
crime preven-
tion.
“As we see
growth and a
lack of funding
together with a
lack of manufac-
turing jobs we
are going to face
serious problems,” Dr. De-
Keseredy said. “In absence
of meaningful work and in
absence of help we are just
going to see more and more
crime.” Eva Martin Blythe,
the executive director of the
YWCA Durham, gave spe-
cific examples of the impact
on that agency and similar
agencies in Durham.
“I submit one of the rea-
sons for this is because the
homeless don’t vote and
children don’t vote,” Ms.
Martin Blythe said. “We can
all be the political entities
to bring to bare that which
needs to be brought to bare
for those who don’t have a
voice.”
The coalition is putting
together an action plan and
starting to look at how it can
get its message out, includ-
ing a postcard campaign
and having residents write
to their elected officials at
the provincial and federal
governments.
A series of town hall meet-
ings on the funding gap are
planed in the region. The
next is at the Ajax Town Hall
on Feb. 15.

services funding gap

PICKERING — The Pickering Mu-
seum Village is slowing things down
for some rhyme time.
It’s launching a new program that
tries to slow things down for small
children and their primary caregivers,
while recapturing the simple joys of
parenting a young child through the
use of time-tested nursery rhymes.
Mary Delaney, education instruc-
tor at PMV in Greenwood, developed
the program with an eye to the needs
of young children and their primary
caregivers.
“In the old days, primary caregiver
was just almost always mom,” Ms.
Delaney said. “And mom knew all the
nursery rhymes and all the bounc-
es that had been passed down from
generation to generation in a world
without television, day care and DVD
players in the back of the family van.”
The comfort of those rhymes and
lullabies brought security then, and
can bring security now in a world
where some children can’t sleep un-
less they have a movie playing by their
bedside.
Rhyme Time seeks to teach moms,
dads or grandparents the old nursery
rhymes while providing a quiet time
with other babies and other adults.
“When I was pregnant and when my
babies were little, I remember feeling
cut off from the adult world of conver-
sation and intellectual challenge,” Ms.
Delaney said.
“I honestly felt that as the baby
grew, my brain shrank.”
Rhyme Time offers a special fea-
ture – the wild, often bloody history
of many of these seemingly gentle
rhymes.
It turns out ‘Mary, Mary quite con-
trary’ isn’t about gardening after all
and Humpty Dumpty wasn’t really an
egg.
The program runs Thursday morn-
ings from 10 to 11 a.m. at the PMV,
Feb. 8 to March 1.
The cost is $40 for the session. For
more information or to register, call
905-420-4621 or go online at www.

DURHAM — During the month of
January, we have offered you tips and
tools on how to become organized.
We’ve discussed home organization,
family management and office and in-
formation organizing, but our services
do not end there! Each POC member
offers a unique set of skills and experi-
ences which allows us to offer you a
wide range of services from residential,
small office and home office organizing
to decorating, home staging and work
life balance coaching.
Regardless of our specialty, each client
is offered sound and proven solutions
to help them increase the efficiency of
their home and/or office and to improve
their day to day productivity. The month
of January has been exciting for us also,
as we continued to receive your entries
for the Let’s Get Organized contest, run
in conjunction with Metroland Durham
Region Media Group! There have been
all sorts of rooms and spaces entered
along with some great explanations as
why each entry should be the winner.
Here’s what a few of our entrants had to
say:
“Submitted by an otherwise high
functioning, very efficient professional
woman (all evidence to the contrary)
who has lived with this ever growing
disaster for years! I’m overwhelmed by
the task and don’t know where to start...
sigh....”
“Having spent many years devoted
to raising my family, scheduling every-
thing from meals and doctor’s appoint-
ments to vacations and bill paying, I
now find that my organizational skills
have deserted me.”
“I desperately need professional help
to effectively plan and organize this
space so that I can be creative again.”
“The closets and dressers are over-
flowing and the clutter is taking over
my bedroom and life. If I could just
get organized, I could stop buying new
clothes, save money, my mind and my
marriage.”
“Subject Room – Bedroom (really!)
Abode of a gone, but not forgotten, uni-
versity student who insists on coming
home periodically. Closet? Inaccessible.
Dresser? Barricaded. Visible floor space?
Twenty per cent. Second bed? There
is one? Stuffed animals? Apparently
breeding.”
“A ny time off we like to spend with our
daughter keeping her busy and active.
So cleaning and organizing our bed-
room has always been a last priority.”
“I hate that it’s (office) so disorganized
and messy -- it’s stressful, embarrassing
and unprofessional. I need to learn how
to organize this mess better, so that I can
be more productive and less stressed.”
“Over the years I have tried to orga-
nize myself to be more productive and
efficient, but I never seem to achieve
this. It would be so nice to come to work
everyday and know where everything is.
I would be much more productive and
efficient, which might even free up some
time to “enjoy” my space.”
Congratulations to the winners of
Let’s Get Organized -- Merle and Mary
Ellen Cole and Kim Cleland!
Each winner will receive a compli-
mentary space makeover on Feb. 10 and
11 from POC Durham. We’d like to thank
all of you who submitted an entry. It
was difficult to select only two winners
and we encourage you to try again next
year. If you didn’t get an opportunity to
submit your entry, we hope to see yours
in 2007. Visit us at www.organizersin-
canada.com to find an organizer to meet
your needs.

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Parish should have been on planning committee
To the editor:
In response to the article, ‘Parish shut out of planning com-
mittee’, Jan. 3 News Advertiser.
I find it most troubling that the mayor most concerned about
the agenda developers have for profit in our region is shut out
of the planning process. I have followed the decisions of late to
increase the amount of residential development at the expense
of business and local infrastructure and am troubled at the
seeming lack of foresight to plan for people living and working
in the same region. As the environment and air quality become
increasing concerns, we need to plan for the quality of life that
includes less travel and air pollution. I will be watching with in-
terest as regional council makes decisions that influence those
of us who live here- will they result in more congestion as cars
must be used for everything we do, or will they consider the
importance of building where people can live, work, play and
interact as a community?
I think Steve Parish and Colleen Jordan are dead right to sug-
gest that elected officials taking money from developers to pay
for their election costs is a conflict of interest. Developers don’t
live here and should not in any way be allowed to influence
decisions being made for the future of this region.
So, as we begin 2007, I wish our elected officials wisdom in
the planning process for the benefit of us all and appreciate the
time involved in making those decisions.

Now what about
everyone else in need?
B rad and Rebecca Skiffington
weren’t asking for someone to
hand them a house but that’s ex-
actly what happened.
Sometimes it only takes one person
to make a difference. In the case of the
Skiffingtons it took one couple to read
their story in the paper, to hear their cries
for help and forever change their world.
The Skiffingtons had struggled for so
long. First with Brad’s medical needs and
his double lung transplant necessitated
by cystic fibrosis and then with the lack
of affordable and appropriate housing in
Durham Region.
They had pursued every avenue they
could think of and just when hope had
nearly run out the unbelievable hap-
pened. An incredibly generous couple
(who wish to remain anonymous) came
to the Skiffington’s rescue. They pur-
chased a home specifically to meet the
Skiffington’s needs and the couple is liv-
ing there for a very low rent.
This couple also gave the Skiffingtons
a dinning room table, a washer and dryer
and are helping out in any way they can.
Their story has a happy ending, but
there are people all over Durham Region
who struggle with affordable housing,
health care and other social services.
The Skiffington’s story highlights a
greater issue. The funding for health and
social services has not kept pace with
the rapid growth in Durham Region and
elsewhere in the 905 region. There is a
huge gap between per capita health and
social services funding in the 905 area
compared to the rest of Ontario.
If this funding gap isn’t addressed even
more people in the Region will find them-
selves in dire straits. It is a grave situation
and one which the Strong Communities
Coalition, an alliance of the United Ways
of Oakville, Peel, York, Durham and the
GTA/905 Healthcare Alliance, is mobiliz-
ing to have addressed. They are launch-
ing a campaign and holding town hall
meetings to inform the public about the
impact the funding gap is having in the
hope people will put pressure on their
elected provincial and federal officials.
Even if you don’t think you need health
care and social services now, chances are
you could find yourself in such a situa-
tion. Even if you don’t, your municipal
taxes continue to rise as a result of the
funding gap. You are affected.
Not every story can end with a godsend
as is the case with the Skiffingtons. It is
time we, as a community, made taking
care of each other a priority.

Keep smoke alarms
alive and working
Ontario’s Fire Marshal’s office has worked hard over the
years to raise awareness about fire safety measures,
particularly the necessity of having working smoke
alarms in residences.
All that effort has paved the way to make sure alarms are gen-
erally installed where they should be. A working alarm must be
placed on each level of a residence and just outside all sleeping
areas.
The problem now is ensuring smoke alarms are able to do
the job at all times of the day or night. Too often, the alarm is
present but has been disabled. Frustrated homeowners take
the battery out after the alarm is triggered by burning toast or
the heat and smoke caused by cooking. After a number of these
so-called “nuisance” alarms, residents often leave the devices
permanently disabled. And that can be a fatal mistake.
That’s why the Make it Stop! program, an education cam-
paign run by the Ontario Fire Marshal, is so vital to province-
wide safety. Statistics reveal that, between 1995 to 2004, fire-
fighters found a smoke alarm in 79 per cent of the home fires
they attended. What’s upsetting is that less than half of those
alarms were found to be working.
There are ways to cut down on nuisance alarms. One key is
to keep burners and ovens clean. It’s also advised that alarms
should be located away from kitchens and away from bath-
rooms where shower steam can trigger an alarm. Sometimes,
homeowners simply forget to check their alarm periodically to
make sure the batteries are still working. Fire experts usually
recommend you check them monthly and change your alarm
batteries during the biannual time-change period.
In addition to the obvious safety concerns posed by disabled
alarms, there are penalties for those who don’t follow the law.
Landlords face fines of up to $50,000 for not making sure their
buildings are up to code. Tenants who remove batteries or tam-
per with the alarm could be on the hook for a $235 ticket.
While such penalties are meant to act as a deterrent they pale
beside an entirely preventable tragedy. Smoke alarms save lives
so make sure yours are armed and ready to work at all times.
Amazing end to Skiffington story
Ballet Creole dancers
drum and perform
for Lester B. Pearson
Public School
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
AJAX — As drums boomed, so
did 14-year-old Rochelle John-
son’s heart.
Just one face in a sea of quiet
and mesmerized students at
Lester B. Pearson Public School
on Feb. 1, Rochelle
was deep in thought as
Ballet Creole dancers
and drummers helped
bring in Black History
Month.
“It was really humbling,” said
Rochelle, a Grade 8 student at the
school. “It helped me connect
with the dancing and music... I
could feel the drums through my
heart.”
As Ballet Creole danced to the
African beats pounded through
the goat-skin drums, Rochelle
“z oned” and reflected on the ac-
complishments of black people.
“People might see black peo-
ple in school and think they’re
about rap music and gangs but
seeing events like this shows the
culture and what being black is
really about,” said Rochelle.
Neketia Perez, a Ballet Creole
dancer from Trinidad and To-
bago, said the dances and drum-
ming performed were part of an
African celebration of thanks. A
drummer also sung a folk song
from Trinidad and Tobago about
a bad boy who went to jail, she
said.
Grade 8 student Caroline Din-
nall said the performance really
touched her.
“It just reminded me even of
the lives my parents
had,” said Caroline.
“The beat of the drum
reminded me of every-
where - Africa, Jamaica,
and the contributions
black people have made to Can-
ada and the U.S.”
“It was a breathtaking experi-
ence and I’ll never forget,” added
Rochelle.
During a question session
with the students, Ms. Perez said
the Ballet Creole company was
created about 16 years ago to in-
crease African dance in the area.
“A t the time in Toronto, you
really didn’t see a lot of black,
African, contemporary dance
on the professional stage,” said
Ms. Perez. The members of the
group who performed at Lester
B. Pearson are from South Afri-
ca, Cuba, Canada, and Trinidad
and Tobago.
“Do you learn from elders or
do you go to special schools?”
asked a student.
“Both,” replied Ms. Perez.
Students also received a his-
tory lesson about the drums
used during the performance
and their African and Caribbean
origins.
Following the dancing and
drumming, student Nadia Per-
shad said the performance re-
minded her of her family’s Hindu
celebrations.
“I think that they show
we’re not that different,” said
Nadia. She said it’s important to
educate students about the past
and black history.
“I think that Black History
Month is a time to celebrate what
happened in the past and now
that we’re equal,” said Nadia.
Gary Lew, vice-principal of
Lester B. Pearson Public School,
said it’s important to celebrate
cultural diversity and the dance
and drum performance was
a good way to welcome Black
History Month, as well as raise
awareness about the arts.
An information display and
class activities are also occurring
in recognition of Black History
Month.

Early black landowners
in Whitby have Niagara
connection
Slaves from the Niagara Region were bequeathed land in Whitby,
by the Solicitor General of Upper Canada. But with the passing
of time, and the division of the region, the bestowed acres
ended up in Oshawa.
Historical records show that in 1803, 10 years after slavery was
offi cially abolished in Canada, Solicitor General Robert Isaac Gray
gave his slave, Dorinda, her freedom. Financial provisions were also
made for her, and for all her children, because of her many years of
faithful service.
To Dorinda, Mr. Gray gave 1200 pounds. Back then, one pound was
the equivalent of fi ve dollars. The money was to be invested, to allow
Dorinda and her children to live off the interest for the rest of her life.
In addition, her two sons, Simon and John, were each willed 200
acres of land in Whitby.
Simon received Lot No. 11, First Concession. Whitby archivist Brian
Winter explains that is the area now close to downtown Oshawa,
between Simcoe St. and the Oshawa Creek, west of John St. As Mr.
Winter, explains, in those days there were no roads; a concession
was all the land, not just a road. In 1803, the land known as First
Concession would have been the block of land running from Hwy. 2,
south to Bloor St.
The 200 acres given to John was Lot 17, Second Concession.
Second Concession is the area between Hwy. 2 north to Rossland
Rd., from Thornton Rd. west to the Whitby border.
Mr. Winter further explains that in that period, the area was known
as Whitby Township. In 1857, the Township was divided. Lots 1 to
17 became Oshawa, and Lots 18 to 35 became Whitby, hence the
reason why anyone going by the history books and trying to pinpoint
the ‘Whitby’ lots given to Dorinda’s sons will fi nd that they’re actually
located in Oshawa.
Today Lot 11 First Concession and Lot 17 Second Concession are
occupied by an assortment of residences and commercial buildings.
Second Concession is the smaller area of the two. It includes the
entrance to Mount Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery, located on
Hwy. 2, between Thornton and Garrard streets.
For the record, we don’t know if Simon and John actually came to
this area. Once slavery was abolished in the United States, many of
the Niagara Region black families left Canada and returned home to
the milder winters.

step forward to help
family find a new house
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Brad Skiffington celebrated the
fifth anniversary of his double lung transplant
on Jan. 26 in a new, healthy home.
When the News Advertiser first told the tale
of Brad and Rebecca Skiffington the couple was
in dire straits. They had nowhere to live and no
hope in sight. But when a couple read about the
story they did the unbelievable — they bought
the Skiffingtons a home.
“It is really hard to find the words to express
what this means,” Ms. Skiffington said. “Liter-
ally, they have saved Brad’s life.”
Mr. Skiffington, 32, was born with cystic fi-
brosis, a deteriorating lung disease, and due to
a bevy of medical requirements he has specific
housing needs. Without a healthy, mould-and-
mildew-free home, large enough to accommo-
date his air purifier, Mr. Skiffington’s doctors
told him he would die.
Ms. Skiffington attends school full time, work-
ing towards a nursing degree, and because of
his condition Brad was unable to work. The
couple had struggled to find affordable and ap-
propriate housing since moving to Ontario from
Newfoundland five years ago.
They tried every avenue they could think
of. They wrote letters to politicians, tried to
get assistance from Durham Regional housing,
non-profit groups, the Province and even Oprah
Winfrey. It was then, with no help in sight, that
the Skiffingtons told their story to the News Ad-
vertiser and their prayers were answered when
a generous couple saw the story.
The couple wishes to remain anonymous be-
cause they say they didn’t do it for the recogni-
tion but because they thought someone should
help the Skiffingtons and knew they could.
“I felt like we have been really blessed,” the
donor said.
“We have been there and done that, where we
have had to get out of financial holes.”
It seemed, the donor said, that every govern-
ment program was designed to keep the Skiff-
ingtons down.
“They just wanted so desperately to get out
from under. It really struck me that it seemed to
be the harder they worked the further behind in
the hole it would put them,” the donor said.
The donors contacted the News Advertiser
and expressed an interest in helping the couple
but the Skiffingtons were reluctant to get their
hopes up upon hearing the news.
“We didn’t know who they were,” Ms. Skiff-
ington said. “We were afraid to believe anything
good could happen.”
Even when a real estate agent called them to
see the house it didn’t seem real.
The donors purchased the Whitby home,
which suits all of Brad’s medical needs, and
the Skiffingtons live there and pay low rent.
A few people caught wind of what the donors
were doing and one of their neighbours got the
moving company to move the Skiffingtons. The
donors helped the Skiffingtons move, gave them
a dining room table, a washer and dryer and are
helping out in many other ways.
All the donors wanted in return was for Ms.
Skiffington to finish school and Mr. Skiffington
to stay healthy.
“They are just amazing people,” Mr. Skiffing-
ton said. “They are wonderful. I can’t believe
what they have done.”
They moved into the home on Jan. 25 and the
couple says it has changed their life.
“The day we moved in it was like a huge
weight had been lifted off our shoulders,” she
said. “Just waking up in the morning and know-
ing I don’t have to send 100 e-mails or call 100
people.”
Now, with health and happiness on their
side, both couples agree the greatest thing that
arose out of the situation is the friendship they
formed.

Story by News Canada
Do you remember those old children’s
toys that with a few magical twists and
turns morphed a robot into an all terrain
vehicle? Did you ever think how great it
would be to do the same with your house
after the kids were done rearranging the
furniture, or even with your hair after a
long day has knocked the life out of it?
Your friends at Suave believe the same
principle can be applied to transforming
super Mom into super hot Mamma and
the kitchen table into a cosy bistro for
a romantic night at home. Yes, you
read that correctly - a romantic night at
home.
Set the stage - make sure the two of
you will be alone. If you have children,
arrange for babysitting at someone
else’s home and plan your romantic
dinner on an evening of a week that you
are sure your spouse won’t have other
time commitments already scheduled.
Set the style - start your romantic
evening with a sexy twist on your
everyday hair. Wash you hair with a
lovely fragrant shampoo like Suave
Naturals Tropical Coconut Shampoo
for a scent that will bring back a rush of
summer memories and put you in the
mood for romance.
Set the table - if the kitchen table is
too cluttered, pull out a smaller folding
card table that provides a more intimate
setting. Toss a purple (the colour of
passion) cloth over the table to disguise
its true purpose. Scatter rose petals
over the table and serve dinner by
candlelight.
Set the theme - turn down the lights
and light the candles. Play some soft,
romantic music, or some songs that have
special meaning for the two of you. You
never know, with the right music, your
romantic dinner might end with some
slow dancing in your dining room.

Valentine Surprise.Valentine Surprise.
The most romantic surprise my
husband ever planned for me
was on Feb 14, 2001. You see, I
was not expecting the amazing
flowers or lovely jewellery that I
usually received for Valentine’s
Day because we just didn’t have
the money. My husband had been
laid off from his job the June before
and money was very tight. The
day just felt like any other day
but I knew that in my heart that
Valentine’s Day was suppose to
be a magical day. My husband
started to head up for bed early
and he gave me a kiss and said
to me that things would get better
soon. About a hour later, he called
me to come upstairs, I went to
go brush my teeth and to my
surprise the bathroom was all lit up
with candles, my favorite CD was
playing and he drew a big bath for
me. He never thought that it was
much, but to me it was because it
came from his heart.
Sincerely, K.C.

The speedy, low-heat, energy-effi cient
microwave oven is a calming friend in a
frantic kitchen. In a matter of seconds,
our microwave can be relied upon to
thaw, melt, reheat, boil, toast, and cook
exactly what we need.
Ah, but does it bake?
Most of us would likely say no, but
specialists in this fi eld are now saying an
enthusiastic, yes!
“Our baking specialists have formulated
a way for you to microwave a beautiful
home-baked cake in just ten minutes,”
says Linda Fox, spokesperson for
Duncan Hines. “Just follow the package
instructions and you can count on a
perfect, fresh-baked cake for family, or
unexpected guests, every time. In fact,
it’s so easy to do, teenagers and college
students are now making warm and
delicious snack cake after school.”
Here’s a handy guideline:
Prepare your choice of any DH mix
according to package instructions. You’ll
need eggs, oil, and water, as well as the
frosting, and utensils.
Chocolate mixes or dark cakes turn
out particularly well. Microwave cooking
doesn’t ‘brown’ when baking, so a light
vanilla or white cake may remain a little
too light. If you do prefer light cakes, just
plan a pretty coat of frosting for contrast.
To get the best results, use a round,
silicon bundt pan designed for more even
baking. If you don’t have one, choose
any round, straight-sided, microwave-
safe dish. Remember, the shape of the
dish will be the shape of your fi nished
cake.
To help the cake slip out
more easily, take a scoop
of frosting and line the
inside of the bundt pan.
This technique will also
give your cake a lovely
glaze. Use it sparingly:
approximately 1/3 can. If
it’s too thick in the pan, it
will be very messy when
you turn out the cake.
Place in microwave. Bake on high heat
for ten minutes. Microwave ovens vary
so test for doneness after about eight
minutes, continuing to bake further only
if necessary. Cool and frost.
The total preparation, baking, and
cleanup time should clock-in at about
twenty minutes. For more information,
plus a helpful recipe resource, visit our
website at www.duncanhines.ca.

Have you ever looked into a mirror or seen a photo
of yourself only to be surprised by the image looking

what I have done that is different. I love it!”

pedicure, waxing or advanced laser treatments

A dozen LOSSA teams
vying for two places in
provincial championships
By Brian McNair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The only thing certain
about the upcoming LOSSA Senior AAA
hockey playoffs is that nobody is certain
who will come out on top.
The good news is there’s extra incentive
this year, as two local teams will qualify
for the OFSAA provincial championships,
which are being held at the Iroquois Park
Sports Centre March 21-24. As host, LOSSA
will send both finalists to the tournament.
“I think there are five teams that I don’t
think it would be an upset if any of the five
won, then another two teams that would
be a darkhorse,” says Josh French, coach
of Oshawa’s Eastdale Eagles and a LOSSA
convener.
“I think St. Mary, ourselves, Dunbar-
ton, Uxbridge and Ajax, there’s not much
to choose between the five of us, and
McLaughlin and Dwyer aren’t far away.”
The Eagles and St. Mary Monarchs of
Pickering would be considered slight fa-
vourites, considering neither team lost a
game during the LOSSA regular season.
The two played to a 2-2 tie just before
Christmas and finished with identical re-
cords of 7-0-3, which put Eastdale on top
of the East Division and St. Mary atop the
West.
The Uxbridge Tigers won the Central
Division with a 7-2-1 record and have the
experience of having played at OFSAA last
year, when they dropped a heartbreaking
quarterfinal in the dying seconds.
The three division winners, plus Pick-
ering’s Dunbarton Spartans (7-2-1), will
earn a first round bye, while the next best
eight will battle it out in best-of-three se-
ries beginning Monday.
“It’s all fairly evenly matched,” says St.
Mary coach Mike Dion.
“Even the first round itself, there should
be a couple good teams getting knocked
off there and once you get to the quarters,
there’ll definitely be a few good teams get-
ting knocked off there as well.”
The Eagles head into the playoffs not
only as a hot team, but with a very hot
player in 16-year-old centre Zach Palm-
er, who had nine points in the final two
games, wins of 5-3 over McLaughlin and
5-2 over Pickering.
Defenceman Mark Yule and goalie Blake
Bodashefsky are also key players for East-
dale.
“A t the beginning of the year we had
some inconsistency and I wasn’t sure we
were buying into the whole team concept,”
French says of his Eagles, who are current-
ly ranked eighth in the GTA by The Toronto
Star.
“In early December we had guys start
believing in our system and guys were get-
ting a better idea of what roles we expected
them to play.”
Dion, whose Monarchs are ranked right
behind Eastdale in ninth, are led by goalie
Eric Nottbeck and are deep at all posi-
tions.
“We’re very disciplined defensively, ex-
tremely strong on the defensive end, very
good goaltending,” Dion says.
“Up front, we’re pretty much in a situa-
tion where we can roll three lines and get
pretty good production out of all three.”
The Tigers may not boast the talent
of some of the other top teams, but they
have a proven track record and are well-
coached by Don Simmonds and James
McNab.
“They’re a team that talent-wise they
may not match up with the other four
(favourites), but the sum is better than
the parts,” says French. “They really work
together as a team, their coach does a real
nice job in instilling that team concept.
They’re tough to get off their game, really
disciplined.”
Dunbarton and the Ajax Rams (5-1-4)
are the other teams with a good chance
of reaching the final, while Oshawa’s
McLaughlin Trojans (7-3-0) and Dwyer
Saints (5-4-1) are lurking close behind.
“This league has proven it’s a tough haul
to win the championship,” says Dion.
“It’s a long four or five weeks to get
through the whole thing and hopefully be
on the top at the end.
But it’s a nice little carrot to have at the
end to know OFSAA’s going to be at home
this year.”

DURHAM — It wasn’t
the start of redevelopment
work at the Ajax hospital,
but the finish date that
raised some eyebrows at
Ajax council recently.
Councillors were told
the expansion and reno-
vation work won’t be
completed until Septem-
ber of 2010.
Tom Atkins, chairman
of the board of direc-
tors of the Rouge Valley
Health System, told coun-
cillors “construction will
start in September and
be complete by March of
2010. We hope to open
the facility in September
of 2010.”
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
questioned the comple-
tion date, saying, “my im-
pression is the program
would be in the ground
much earlier than Sep-
tember and be completed
much earlier than three
years.”
Bob Oldman, another
member of the hospital’s
board, said there are five
phases to the redevelop-
ment.
The emergency room
will be completed in
about two years time and
all the work by the fall
of 2010. The final portion
includes the expanded
laboratory.
“If we can do it fast-
er, we will,” Mr. Oldman
said.
Wo rk began recently on
the construction of a road
running from Harwood
Avenue to Centennial
Drive, said Natalie Bube-
la, the hospital’s vice-
president of programs
and support services.
“It’s been a long time
coming,” she stated, add-
ing a ground-breaking
ceremony will be held
later this year.
The project includes
an expanded emergency
room, diagnostic imaging
department, ambulatory
care unit, complex con-
tinuing care unit, labora-
tory and mental health
services. The work covers
more than 140,000 square
feet, including 75,000 sq.
ft. of new space.
A larger ER is sorely
needed, as the current
one was designed for
20,000 visits a year, but
receives 46,000. The ex-
panded ER will be built
for 60,000 visits.
Mr. Atkins noted the
project now carries an
$80-million price tag, up
from the earlier $60 mil-
lion cost.
“We’re very excited by
what is now an $80-mil-
lion expansion,” he stat-
ed.
With redevelopment
costs rising, so has the
amount that must come
from the community, he
said.
It’s now $15.8 million,
up from the previous total
of $14.8 million.
“We’re looking for our
share to be climbing to
$17 million,” he said.
He also dismissed a
charge the board was
working to close the hos-
pital.
“You’ve heard the ru-
mour we’re going to
close the hospital. I will
say it out loud, because
some saying that are in
this room. It’s absolutely
not true. We’re working
to grow the hospital,” Mr.
Atkins said.
Wa rd 2 local Council-
lor Joe Dickson raised the
possibility of the Town
donating money to the
hospital for equipment,
suggesting a three-year
commitment of $250,000
annually.
“My only point is ev-
eryone knows the situa-
tion,” Coun. Dickson said.
“Everyone knows about
the additional revenue
coming into Ajax.”
He said his suggestion
would cost $2 per person
in one year or $1 a person
over two years.
Mayor Parish noted
any money for the hospi-
tal coming from the Town
would mean an increase
in taxes.
“Everyone in the room
heard from the people
about taxes,” he said, add-
ing Coun. Dickson ran on
a platform of no tax in-
creases.
“Everybody must be
extremely realistic when
anyone throws out those
statements,” Mayor Par-
ish said.

MOBILE SHOWROOM
Durham Windows and
Doors Brings Mobile
Showroom To Your Door
Wa yne Hutchison brings to the
replacement window and door busi-
ness a new and long overdue feature.
It’s a Mobile Showroom which just
may be the only one in Canada.
“The day is gone when you car-
ried some brochures and a sample
window to a customer’s home,” ex-
plains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired
North York Mobile Library truck and
installed interior walls along with all
of my window samples.”
When you call Durham Windows
and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne
will show up at your door with his Mo-
bile Showroom which you’ll enter by
way of a sliding patio door.
Inside, displayed on the walls,
are the Vinyl Window Designs series
of vinyl windows which you’re free to
operate and you’ll discover the many
special features including how they
can be cleaned without going outside.
“After being in this business for
26 years, I can honestly say these are
the fi nest windows on the market,”
says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed
to reduce air leakage and come with
heavy duty hardware.”
All Vinyl Window Designs win-
dows come with Low E Glass which
fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keep-
ing your home cooler in the summer
and eliminate fading of your curtains,
drapes and furniture.
All of the windows come with a
lifetime warranty on the frame, hard-
ware and glass.
Wa yne would also like his cus-
tomers to know that he does all of the
estimates personally, eliminating the
cost of a salesperson.
Durham Windows and Doors also
does all of its own installations, which
ensures that every customer gets a high
quality job done at the best possible
price.
Durham Windows and Doors is
located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa.
