Cold nights mean that, for now, the snow and ice are melting slowly, reducing the risk of flood. “What we are monitoring now is the de- velopment of ice jams, which occur when the ice breaks up as it begins to melt,” Mr. Ness said. The ice can cause water to back up around culverts and bridges, flooding river banks. Several areas along Duffins Creek, at Riverside Drive, Church Street, Bayly Street and Brock Road are susceptible to ice jams. Mr. Ness does not rule out flooding alto- gether this year. “It’s entirely dependent on how quickly spring comes and how quickly it warms up and whether we get rain with the warm- ing.” As usual in the spring, the public should treat rivers and streams with caution, giving them a wide berth, he said. “The banks of rivers and streams are a dangerous place to be; they’re slippery and can give way as the river thaws out,” said Mr. Ness, adding that people and pets should stay off the ice. The TRCA’s website includes a flood fore- casting and warning centre with a colour- coded indicator of current conditions. As of Thursday morning, it was set at normal (green). It’s available at trca.on.ca. In the north, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) is watch- ing the winter melt carefully. Lake Simcoe’s water level is higher than normal. In late February, it was at a 40-year high of 218.98 metres above sea level. The water dropped somewhat in early March, but this week rose again, sitting at 218.95 metres above sea level on March 10. Lake Simcoe absorbs runoff from several rivers and streams. “The concern is the spring runoff will happen and the volume of the lake will not HE’S SHOWING HE CAN DANCE Photo by Jennifer Roberts PICKERING — Jeff Goring, a youth co-ordinator at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre, demonstrates some break dancing moves dur- ing the youth drop-in program.

That could mean flooding in low- lying areas, particularly in York Re- gion. In Durham, the Beaverton har- bour is prone to ice jams and Game- bridge in north Brock Township is generally susceptible to flooding, as it sits on a major river system along the Talbot River. Mr. Hogenbirk said its important that people are aware of their surroundings and if they see ice jams start to form, they should contact their municipality. For the upcoming week, the LSRCA expects cold weath- er will keep the flood potential low. At last week’s council meeting, Brock Township Mayor Larry O’Connor ex- plained the issue to council. “We may be in a situation where we need help and I just wanted to let council know the situation is of con- cern,” he said. Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son said if anything were to happen, the Region would be there for the northern communities. “We’d have to send staff up there to do as much as we can to alleviate the problem,” Mr. Anderson said.

Pickering has already spent $450,000 on salt and another $40,000 on sand this year. Operations and emergency servic- es director Everett Buntsma explained although the 2008 budget hasn’t been approved, the earlier projection for snow removal costs was $500,000. “So we’re going to be asking Council for more money,” he said. Pickering has been experiencing lim- ited growth, causing difficult budgets with climbing tax increases in recent years. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean explained although he antici- pates good things for Pickering with new developments coming to the city, the money from that probably won’t be evident until next year, and the huge amount of snow this winter hasn’t helped the City’s financial costs. “There’s some light at the end of the tunnel but it’s going to be a tough year,” he said. He explained that for every $380,000 the City spends, that’s a one-per cent tax increase. He compared operating a city to running a household, with factors such as heat, maintenance and upkeep coming into play. “It’s going to be quite a challenge doing our budget with unexpected things like this (huge amounts of snow) coming into play,” he said. Coun. McLean said last weekend’s snow removal cost the City $46,000; $10,000 for salt and sand and $36,000 in overtime hours. He said people parking their cars on the street during storms adds to the snow issues. Around 600 parking tags were handed out to cars parked on the street last weekend. This causes a huge safety problem in the City by not only forcing cars and plows to swing around the parked cars, but also shifting the snow banks closer into the middle of the road, he said. He added Pickering has about 1,000 kilometres of lanes to plow. “It (impedes) the speedy, orderly op- eration of snow plowing and adds to the overtime as well,” he said. In 2007, the snow budget was $370,000 but the City spent $616,000, $153,000 on overtime. “So we basically spent double what we’d budgeted,” Mr. Buntsma said. Mr. Buntsma explained since salt has lately been hard to come by in Dur- ham, the City has hired an independent trucking company to pick up salt from Goderich, ON, and has received three of 20 loads so far.

Price Senior Financial Advisor Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The mayors of Uxbridge and Brock will join forces with the Region to lobby the Province on the phosphorus issue that may freeze de- velopment in the two communities. The Ontario government is looking at reducing the amount of phosphorus released into Lake Simcoe from the 15 sewage treatment plants that currently discharge into the lake. Of those, four are located in Durham, three in Brock, including two lagoons, and one in Ux- bridge. Representatives from the two mu- nicipalities say the Province’s proposed limits would freeze development in their communities because the plants would not be able to use any more capacity than is currently being used. “Our concern is we’ve had very lim- ited growth in Brock Township,” said Mayor Larry O’Connor. “We have state-of-the art (sewer) facilities that the Province helped fund and this may limit all growth.” The mayor points out that a pro- posed subdivision in Sunderland is the first in a decade in the municipality. At last week’s Regional council meet- ing, Mayor O’Connor agreed to join forces with Uxbridge Mayor Bob Shep- herd and Regional Chairman Roger Anderson in bringing their concerns to the Province. A report at the Region’s works com- mittee states urban waste water, dis- charge from the sewage treatment plants, accounts for just seven per cent of phosphorus heading into the lake. The report said dramatic and costly improvements to sewage treatment technology at the plants would only produce a one per cent reduction. Larger contributors include agricul- ture at 36 per cent, urban storm water at 13 per cent and phosphorus in the atmosphere at 35 per cent. “If we want to attack the issue of phosphorus, I would say dealing with the agricultural sources and the urban storm water is the way to go,” said Mr. Anderson. Whitby Councillor Don Mitchell said it’s important the Region advocate for the health of the lake as a whole. “Which is more than just saying don’t pick on us, we’re the least of the problem,” he said. Correction DURHAM — Epilepsy Durham has set up an outreach table at the Oshawa Clinic, 117 King St. E., for Monday, March 17. Incorrect information appeared in a recent story. Also, the story stated epilepsy was caused by a head injury of some sort. According to Epilepsy Durham, only 30 per cent of cases are caused this way. The cause of the remaining 70 per cent is unknown. The News Advertiser regrets the errors. Municipalities join forces on phosphorus issue Second citizen arrest in a week By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com AJAX — A pizza delivery driver tackled a knife- wielding bandit in Ajax Monday, fending off threats and a physical attack from the bad guy’s accom- plices and holding the suspect until police arrived. “We try to discourage people from taking on armed persons,” said Detective Mike Horrocks of the Durham police robbery unit. “But obviously he’s a very brave fellow.” The driver, whose name wasn’t released, was at the Pizza Pizza shop on Harwood Avenue when a masked man armed with a large knife entered and demanded cash shortly before 11 p.m., Det. Hor- rocks said. The bandit appears to have panicked when an employee ran to call 911 and left the shop empty-handed. As the man fled, the 33-year-old driver exited the shop’s back door and intercepted him, tackling him and wrestling him to the parking lot pavement. It was at that point that three other young men intervened, kicking and punching at the driver, Det. Horrocks said. “One of them pulled out a handgun and said, ‘Let him go,’ ” he said. The driver refused and the three accomplices fled the scene. The driver held the robber until police arrived. The driver was un- hurt except for an abrasion on his lip, Det. Horrocks said. A 16-year-old Ajax youth is charged with rob- bery, wearing a disguise and possession of a dan- gerous weapon. Police are still seeking the other three suspects, two white males and a black male believed to be in their late teens or early 20s. The incident was the second time in the last few days citizens stepped in to thwart a robbery. On Thursday evening two men grabbed a man with a knife who was robbing a convenience store in their central Oshawa neighbourhood and held him for police. A 43-year-old Oshawa man was charged in connection with that robbery. $4,000 IN CANADIAN TIRE GIFT CARDS IN CANADIAN TIRE GIFT CARDS Let’s get started WE’RE GIVING AWAY OVER Pickering Markets Trade Centre Squires Beach Rd. and Bayly, Pickering Friday, March 28 – 3pm – 8 pm Saturday, March 29 – 10am – 5pm Sunday, March 30 – 10am – 4pm Pickering Markets Trade Centre Squires Beach Rd. and Bayly, Pickering Friday, March 28 – 3pm – 8 pm Saturday, March 29 – 10am – 5pm Sunday, March 30 – 10am – 4pm ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN Details available at the show Try us for FREE at the show!Great B o u n c y FUN!Great B o u n c y FUN!

Each of us, however, needs to spend time every day making a real impact on climate change. Earth Hour 2008 is a global initiative where participants, on March 29 at 8 p.m., turn off their lights for an hour as a visible symbol of the threat of climate change. Participants range from individuals to towns and cities and entire countries. Now, industry has a huge impact on cli- mate change, responsible for an estimated 50 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, and only with industry on board will any effort to curb them be successful. It’s encouraging the federal government, albeit far too slowly, is moving to address industry’s share of the problem. But, there’s much we as individuals can do, and many of us are not doing simple, daily things to help limit our contribution to climate change. How many of us turn our outdoor lights on every evening, when there’s no reason for doing so, leaving them on until morn- ing? How many of us haven’t switched to energy-efficient light bulbs? How many of us fill half a washing machine with clothes or throw in a shirt or two when we should wait to wash a full load? And, while we’re on the subject, use cold water whenever possible and, unless the kids have been playing in the mud, do you really need to choose the lengthiest wash cycle? From the vehicles we choose and how we maintain them to the appliances we buy, the list of ways in which we can help goes on and on. If each of us committed to con- sidering what kind of an impact we’re hav- ing, and made efforts to limit it, together we could make a huge difference. It took years, even decades, of talking about the environment before it even entered the general consciousness. We cannot let decades pass before taking concrete action. We simply don’t have the time. It’s comforting that young people are concerned about the issue and will become excellent advocates for and practi- tioners of a more sustainable lifestyle. If we have a future, it will be because of them. But, we shouldn’t leave it all up to future generations. Start small if you must, but start somewhere and start now.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 16, 2008 durhamregion.com Waste too complex To the editor: Re: ‘Region has vision of clear garbage bags’, March 2 News Advertiser. I appreciate the need to be more environ- mentally friendly, but where does it end? The article regarding the reduction of the number of bags allowed biweekly, com- bined with the introduction of clear gar- bage bags, seems to be going a step too far. Why does Durham Region insist on making waste disposal so complicated, time-con- suming and frustrating? Other regions are able to place green bin items (including diapers) in regular plastic bags but here we must throw diapers in the garbage (two full bags a week) and use overpriced bags for other green bin items. Other regions have debated using clear garbage bags but have realized the visibility of private items and personal documents is an intrusion of privacy and a serious risk for identity theft. Why do I need a bachelor of science degree to understand what is recyclable and what is not? I encourage the Region to think of recy- cling as a two-way street that needs buy-in from the consumer and in order to get buy- in they need waste diversion to be user- friendly. Under today’s measures, it is not. Brad Jemmett Brooklin R RSP season is upon us. Many of us will want to salt away a little some- thing for our retirement, putting the kids through school or ponying up “hush” money for an Internet indiscretion. The choices of where to put these hard-earned funds can be bewildering. Consequently, the employ of a good, sound financial adviser is often the difference between retiring to a Caribbean villa or a tent trailer in Keswick. The question is, with so many options out there, so many smiling faces knocking on your door, how do you know you’re in good hands? Well, as a self-employed artist with the financial stability of a chip truck and busi- ness acumen that would make Britney Spears look like a Rothschild, I’ve had to take certain steps to insure I’m not taken advantage of. To that end, I’ve developed what I think is a fool-proof system for evaluating money-men. If you employ even half of these handy tips you can rest assured you’re getting good bang for your bucks. First, unlike the greater world outside of high finance, stereotypes in the money arena are everything. Get a bald guy. Pref- erably with horn-rimmed glasses. No hair equals worry and that’s good. You don’t want some clown with Hollywood good looks and locks like Fabio. That guy has obviously chiselled so many customers out of their savings that he hasn’t a care in the world. You want the guy who is fretting over your portfolio so much that you practi- cally see the follicles leaping off his scalp. Likewise with the glasses. You don’t develop poor eyesight by ignoring fine print. You want a stickler. The worse the guy’s peepers, the better. Although I would pull up just this side of legally blind. Of equal import to looks is a name. Again, these rules seldom apply in the outside world, but in the investment racket they’re surefire. Almost without question avoid people with single syllable handles. Ron, Biff, Vance; these are not financial advisers. These are car salesmen and while it might be fun to go toe to toe with one of them over some free rust- proofing, handing them carte blanche with your fiscal future will almost cer- tainly land you in a boarding house eating a plateful of Meow Mix. Polysyllabic is your safest and best bet. Stick with your Milton’s, your Clifford’s, your Kenneth’s. And if at any time any one of these asks you to please refer to him as Milt, Cliff or Ken, show him the door. A word to the wise -- certain unsavory types have cottoned to this trend and have attempted to dupe unsuspecting investors with grandiose titles like Napoleon, Nebu- chadrezzar and Solomon. Generally, if your adviser has a name that sounds like he may have at one time ruled the known world, I would give him a pass. Finally, I like to know a great deal about my adviser’s personal life. I see nothing untoward in a thorough getting-to-know- you session followed by a discreet phone call to Interpol. In the event you discover that your potential money manager has a thing for leather or pudding-wrestling or perhaps runs a website dedicated to the Partridge Family, so much the better. Nothing keeps the ledger cleaner than a little something in the closet you can use on a rainy day. Follow these simple rules and your gold- en years are sure to be well in the black.

MY CHILD’S PROJECT IS DUE! Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s till matters MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children. Leadership in education What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives. As a result of this community-wide planning initiative, Trinity College School has adopted a new mission statement: developing habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.

And these days it seems that, more often than not, children with problems focusing or paying attention are given the ADHD/ADD label. Some children genuinely have a complex medical condition in which their brain works overtime, impeding their ability to focus on a single thought or activity. But too many kids that are placed in the ADHD/ADD spectrum are kids who have simply not learned, or have not been taught how to pay attention. Like reading, spelling, count- ing and writing, paying attention is a skill that children need to learn. Learning to pay attention is not as diffi cult as it sounds. It is not an insurmountable task. The mind is elastic; it can change, it can grow and it can learn new skills—like paying attention. Here are some sim- ple techniques to use at home or in the class- room that will help chil- dren understand what they are to do and stay focused on the task at hand. • Get Their Atten- tion. Before address- ing your child, say his name. When you say the child’s name you give him a cue that you are about to give infor- mation or directions. • Repeat Instructions. You’ve just given your child some instructions. Does she understand them? Have her repeat them back to you or explain them back in her own words. • Eyes Front. Have your child look directly at the per- son who is speaking to them. When the eyes wan- der, the brain follows. • Emphasize It. When giving key instructions be sure to repeat key words. Stretch them out. Say them louder. • Remove Distractions. If the classroom fi sh tank is distracting, ask to have your child seated out of its direct sight-line, or have it moved to another area. ON THE HOME FRONT Playing concentration games at home help to hone the skills your child uses in the classroom. Have a game night. Work on puzzles together, or do a cross- word. Shut the TV off and spend quality time together paying attention to what you are doing, and to each other. Put these strategies to use... and get focused on school success!

The Mitchell brothers -- Nathan, 14, Tristan, 7, and Michael, 16, -- will be back on the bikes in hopes of put- ting together another solid string of races on the Provincial motocross circuits where they’ve enjoyed so much success over the past several years. With their mother, Kim, in tow driving an RV hitched to a trailer loaded with bikes, parts and other necessities of motocross racing, the family is on the road for much of the spring and summer, travelling to races throughout Canada and On- tario, with the occasional sojourn for meets in the northern U.S. For Kim, a single mother and one- time street bike rider whose kids fell into the sport naturally, motocross has been a family affair for the past seven years. “It really is a family sport. We’re together all the time, (at the tracks) three times a week and sometimes five days out of seven I’m with the kids until they go back to school in the fall. As a single mom, (moto- cross) keeps them in positive things, instead of negative things, which they possibly could be doing.” On the leading edge of the Mitch- ell family’s motocross tradition is Nathan, who’s been riding for the past seven years and competitively for the past three, all on the Cana- dian Motorsport Racing Club circuit. Aboard his RM 85 Suzuki, he fin- ished third in the provincial series last season in the 85cc 12-to-16 years category. Nathan says his goal for the com- ing race season is to improve upon his third-place overall finish in the provincial series. He’s been riding ever since he re- ceived his first motocross bike for Christmas seven years ago. “I just learned to ride it and I liked it. It’s just fun,” says Nathan, a Grade 9 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Meanwhile, Tristan has been rac- ing competitively for three years in the 50cc 4-6 years division aboard his Cobra 50 cc motocross bike. He raced more than 40 times in Cana- dian Motorsport Racing Club events last year and won all the events he entered. At the nationals hosted in the Stratford area last summer, however, it didn’t go as planned, as Tristan fell at the start of the race and finished well back. “I’m hoping for better next year,” says Tristan, a Grade 2 student at Valley Farm Public School. For Tristan, motocross is about the competition as well as the social aspect of the sport. “I like riding on the different tracks and the competition,” he says. “I also like to meet new people.” For Michael, he’s looking for bigger and better things this season after an off-season on the provincial moto- cross circuit last year. Injuries, as well as mechanical trouble, limited his effectiveness aboard his CRF 250cc Honda. He later dropped down into the local Maguire’s Motorcross Rac- ing Series and also raced at the Os- hawa Competitive Motorsport Club meets last year. It’s all about the “thrill of racing” to Michael, a Grade 11 student at Pine Ridge. “I like the competitiveness of it and the people,” he says. Ms. Mitchell says she’s like most moms with kids in motocross, ad- mitting there is some worry about her kids suffering a serious injury while on the track. But, she says most of her fears are allayed by the safety equipment required for each rider, and by the fact her boys are extremely proficient and skilful on the track. “They’ve been hurt a couple of times, but it’s no different than play- ing a different sport like football or rugby or something. They wear a lot of protective gear, like neck and knee braces and the helmets they wear are phenomenal. They’re so in con- trol of what they’re doing but, when they fall, I hold my breath,” she says. As motocross racing can be an expensive proposition, Ms. Mitch- ell says she’s received some help from Ultimate Toyz in Ajax and from Fourwinds Motocross in Port Perry to allay costs. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo The Mitchell brothers, Nathan, Tristan and Michael, all race in motocross events each summer and have had success on the provincial racing scene. Silver lining for Lightning midgets at Ontario Winter Games Durham West edged by Markham- Stouffville for gold DURHAM — The Ontario Win- ter Games came with a silver lin- ing for the Durham West Light- ning midget ‘AA’ hockey team. The Ontario Games were host- ed in Collingwood earlier this month, with the weather almost as fierce as the competition for the gold medal in the eight-team women’s hockey tournament at the prestigious event. The rigours of a triple-over- time 1-0 victory over the Toronto Aeros in the semifinal game, fol- lowed by a short rest, meant little time to prepare for the gold-medal game against the Markham-Stouffville Stars. The semifinal turned into the ‘game of the weekend’ as it was a test of endurance for both teams, which battled hard for a spot in the gold-medal game. The Light- ning needed a goal with 1:19 remaining in triple overtime to finally subdue the Aeros. In the final, the Durham girls once again played with heart and grit, giving it their all against a solid Stars squad, only to fall just short in a close 2-1 contest, giv- ing the Lightning a well-deserved silver medal at the Games. In quarter-final playoff action, ✦ See Sterling, Page 10 ‘They’re so in control of what they’re doing but, when they fall, I hold my breath.’ -- KIM MITCHELL, MOTHER OF THREE MOTOCROSS RACING SONS the Lightning grounded the Wa- terloo Ravens 7-1 to advance to the semifinal contest. In round-robin play, the Dur- ham West girls tied the Stratford Aces 2-2, followed by a 5-1 win over the Barrie Sharks. To win their pool the Lightning midgets needed a win against the Sud- bury Wolves and again, after a hard fought game, emerged as No. 1 in Pool ‘B’. No score was reported. Team members are: forwards Callie Bazak, Jen Daly, Darija Davidson, Nicole Gifford, Megan Hagg, Brooke Sawyer, Margot Scharfe, Sarah Stephen, and Brittney Sullivan; defencemen Andie LeDonne, Michelle Sab- ourin, Shannon Stoneburgh, and Jordan Whately; and, goalten- ders Victoria Powers and Emma Thompson. Richard Sabourin, Jen Sadler, and Jeff Sawyer coach the team. The trainer is Nicole Sa- bourin and the manager is Leslie Gifford. Want to know what’s happening in Pickering? BE INFORMED!
