BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- While some kids work part-time jobs to save up for a new car or the newest elec- tronics, Teddy Saull tucked away his earnings for a June trip to help children in Africa. The 16-year-old Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School student will venture to Kenya on June 25 with the charitable organization Free the Children’s partner, Me to We, to build an elementary school. Me to We offers service adventure trips to youth, families and educators to a number of destinations such as Kenya, Ecuador, China, India and Arizona/ Mexico. The Grade 11 student has always wanted to offer his services in an under-developed country and found out about Me to We last spring when his school raised money to build a school in Kenya.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care issued hand-hygiene guidelines last year for all Ontario hospitals on when and how staff should be washing hands. They use soap and water or alcohol rub similar to Purell, depending on the circumstance. In the first three months of this year, all Ontario hospitals audited their compliance rates and the information was posted on the provincial government’s Patient Safety Indi- cator Reporting website in late April. The Rouge Valley Health System’s (RVHS) Ajax-Pickering site had the worst results in Durham with auditors finding health-care workers washing hands 33 per cent of the time before patient contact and 45 per cent afterward. The hospital’s Centenary site in Scarborough had a similar result. Dave Brazeau, spokesperson for RVHS, said his organization is taking the results as incen- tive for improvement. “We’ve seen that we have, based on this survey, a lot that we can do in terms of hand hygiene,” he said, adding RVHS will ramp up its education campaign on the issue. Mr. Brazeau did say RVHS is doing well on other patient safety indicators, such as mor- tality ratios and the presence of certain bac- teria, and is average or better compared to other hospitals. Uxbridge’s Cottage Hospital, which is part of the Markham Stouffville Hospital Corpora- tion, had the best results with a 90-per cent rate of handwashing before contact with patients and 96-per cent rate afterward. Lakeridge Health sites also did well with Port Perry coming out on top with 90 per cent of health-care workers washing hands before contact with patients and 91 per cent after- ward. Its largest hospital, Oshawa, had a 74- per cent rate before contact and 87-per cent rate after. “I was very pleased with the results,” said Helen Gibson, director of infection preven- tion and control at Lakeridge Health. “Certainly when you compare them with other (health-care) providers in the province, we fared quite well.” She attributed the positive results to a com- prehensive education campaign for workers that included everyone from cleaning staff to doctors. “Our whole purpose was not to get a good score,” she said. “Our purpose was to make sure that as many people as possible were educated on the proper time to wash their hands, the prop- er technique, when they should be using the alcohol-based stuff and when they should be using soap and water.” The differ- ence between RVHS and Lakeridge was evident in the results at RVHS’s Scar- borough Cen- tenary hospital, which had a 37 per cent before and 44 per cent after patient contact rate. But at the same hos- pital, where Lakeridge Health has occupied and staffed a floor since a fire at the Whitby hospital, the rate was 87 and 93 per cent on the Lakeridge floor. Though the goal at Lakeridge is always to work towards a 100-per cent score, said Ms. Gibson, a lower one doesn’t necessarily mean staff aren’t washing their hands. “People wash those hands, but they may not have been washing their hands at the moment identified,” she said, adding that for audit purposes it must occur at a specific location, or it doesn’t count. “They may have just washed their hands coming out of another room and they didn’t touch anything,” she said. Across Ontario, hospitals had a higher rate of handwashing after patient contact than before. Both RVHS and Lakeridge Health have said they will continue to work with their staff to get the best results possible. The government will post new numbers next spring. HEALTH Public not washing hands when entering Durham hospitals DURHAM -- While the Ministry of Health tracks how frequently health-care work- ers wash their hands at hospitals, we took a look at how the public did when enter- ing Durham’s hospitals. All facilities have handwashing stations or sanitizers at entrances and throughout the hospital for the public to use. We had reporters watch the comings and goings for a half-hour at each site. Ajax-Pickering hospital On Tuesday afternoon, of 30 people who entered the hospital, only 10 sanitized their hands at the station located immedi- ately inside the doors. Lakeridge Health Port Perry On Tuesday morning, two-thirds of those observed entering the Paxton Street facil- ity took the time to scrub their hands. Nine people strolled through the hospi- tal’s front entrance, six of them stopping to apply the provided hand sanitizer in the front foyer. Lakeridge Health Bowmanville On Wednesday afternoon, most walked past the hand sanitizer. Of the 43 people who entered, only seven used it. Lakeridge Health Oshawa On a Monday afternoon, about a third of hospital visitors entering Lakeridge Health Oshawa used the handwashing station. Ninety-three people entered and 34 used the station.

Council will meet Friday to debate issue BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON -- A decision on possibly reversing the municipality’s position on being a willing host for an incinerator has been put off to Friday. Clarington councillors delayed the debate after receiving updated informa- tion on negotiations just before the Mon- day council meeting. A special council meeting will be held on May 15 at 9 a.m. in the council chambers of the municipal building in Bowmanville. Councillors were going to debate revers- ing their unwilling host position and chief administrative officer Franklin Wu had prepared a report on the status of negotia- tions. That report was prepared on May 7, but Durham Region issued a revised pro- posal late Monday afternoon and Mr. Wu issued an addendum to his report just before the council meeting. Councillor Gord Robinson suggested the matter be delayed, “to give us time to digest this. There’s a lot of unanswered questions here. “I’m not prepared to deal with this this evening. It’s too important to the residents of Clarington,” Coun. Robinson added. Among the changes the Region is propos- ing are paying Clarington about $650,000 annually in a payment-in-lieu of taxes, $10 per tonne for waste from Toronto and start- ing the environmental assessment process to put servicing in the science park. Regional Councillor Mary Novak noted waste from Toronto wasn’t to be allowed. “Is this making sure by making sure it’s so expensive?” “One can never tell what’s down the road,” Mr. Wu said. “This is protecting the municipality. The certificate of approval can get changed. This is protection.” Councillor Adrian Foster was upset at the last-minute update, saying, “This is exact- ly the problem we’ve had with the process all along. I won’t support this. At the very last minute for this to magically appear. I would suggest this is orchestrated.” Several residents appeared at the meet- ing, urging councillors not to change the unwilling host status. “I’m a Courtice resident and I am abso- lutely an unwilling host. Please don’t give into pressure and change your vote,” Nadia McLean-Gagnon said. Gabriel Gagnon said, “Why change our position when the (environmental assess- ment) isn’t even completed? The EA isn’t completed. That’s why this vote tonight makes no sense to me.” Pierre-Philipe David said, “Does burn- ing garbage make our community a better place? Is that what you want your legacy to be, that Clarington became the place to truck garbage to burn? Is that something to be proud of? We deserve better.” INCINERATOR Clarington council delays vote on host status KEITH GILLIGAN / METROLAND BOWMANVILLE -- A group of people gather outside the Clarington municipal offic- es Monday morning, protesting the possibility of a change in council’s position on an incinerator in the community.

The Salvation Army’s Dick Crosby watches the process. Thief breaks window, steals collection kettle BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax’s Salvation Army food bank on Kings Crescent has been vandalized for the sec- ond time in recent weeks. Police were called to the site just after 10 p.m. on Thursday. Dick Crosby, co-ordinator of com- munity and family services for the Salvation Army in Ajax, was also called by the alarm com- pany. “It looks like they kicked the window in by standing on the railings and they entered the building,” said Mr. Crosby. Sgt. Nancy van Rooy, of the Durham Region- al Police Service, confirmed that a witness had seen a man get out of a car in the area and kick the window in. Police got a description and pulled over a matching car in the area. Inside were three men and two were charged with drug possession. The third man was questioned. Police collected evidence, including what might be personal items the thief left behind in the building, and the evidence is currently being analyzed and the case is under investigation. “There’s not the grounds to arrest and charge for a break and enter just yet. It still remains open,” said Sgt. van Rooy. Police did not release the men’s names. Mr. Crosby reports about $40 was stolen in a collection kettle. This is the second time in recent weeks that there’s been trouble at the site. On March 15, someone had thrown a rock through the win- dow, shattering it. That window cost about $500 to replace, said Mr. Crosby, and this one would probably cost more since the Salvation Army would be beefing up the security on the win- dow. As to the cause of the robbery, he specu- lates the thieves might have been after the ket- tle, into which people visiting the building throw loose change. Mr. Crosby said beyond the annoyance of replacing the window, it’s upsetting that the thieves targeted a place so many people rely on for help. The building acts as the food bank for Ajax, a small clothing bank and a drop-in cafe where people can socialize. It also provides one hot meal a week on Thursdays, some counsel- ling and advocacy services for people on social assistance. Every month it serves 100 to 150 fam- ilies. “It is community money at the end of the day because that’s how we’re funded,” said Mr. Cros- by. “It’s a shame when individuals in the com- munity cause the extra cost and disruption by acts of vandalism.” CRIME Ajax Salvation Army robbed newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 13, 20095 AP * Bouclair Ajax/Pick. * Dolomiti Shoes Pick. * Home Depot Ajax/Pick. * Home Hardware Ajax * Lowes Ajax * Real Estate Ajax/Pick. * Rona Ajax/Pick. * Sheridan Nurseries Ajax/Pick. * Sport Chek Ajax/Pick. * Sport Mart Ajax/Pick. * Staples Business Depot Ajax/Pick. * There’s No Place Like Home Ajax/Pick. * Wheels Ajax/Pick.

The statement of claim, filed in Whitby, identifies Mayor Ryan as the driving force behind criminal charges laid against Mr. Brenner in May of 2006. Mr. Brenner was acquitted by an Ontario Court judge in June 2007. Allegations in the statement of claim have not been proven in court; Mayor Ryan and other defendants named in the suit have yet to file statements of defence. Mayor Ryan couldn’t be reached for com- ment. The suit alleges political rivalry and person- al animosity led the mayor to press for charg- es against Mr. Brenner, who was charged with five fraud-related offences after an audit indi- cated he had submitted false expense claims. The charges were pursued in spite of evi- dence the claims filed by Mr. Brenner were legitimate, the suit claims. Mr. Brenner was exonerated after a two-day trial in Oshawa. No defence witnesses were called, the state- ment of claim notes. COURTS Former Pickering councillor sues City, mayor, police Trial begins for accused in trucker’s Pickering murder BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Jury selection has begun in the trial of a man accused in the murder of a trucker whose body was found nearly three years ago in Pickering. Paul Cyr, 52, of Montreal, was arraigned Tuesday in Superior Court in Whitby. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of Donald Woods, 35, a truck- er from the Brockville area. Mr. Cyr is also charged with theft over $5,000. Mr. Woods’s body was found June 23, 2006 after Durham police investigated a highway rig that had been parked at a Pickering shop- ping mall. Mr. Woods, who was last seen alive two days prior, had been shot and the load he was hauling -- $40,000 worth of air- chilled chicken -- was missing. Mr. Cyr was arrested in October of 2006. He was committed to stand trial after a pre- liminary hearing last year. The trial, before Justice Bryan Shaugh- nessy and a jury, is scheduled to take eight weeks. & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions GAS PRICES Consumers are being fleeced To the editor: When the gasoline price spiked last year reaching $1.47 per litre, we were all very upset. We were told by big oil that the oil prices were $147 a barrel and thus the gas would reflect this. We didn’t like it at all but at least we understood. This recent jump at the pumps has led to increased costs for just about every- thing. These higher prices have been the direct result of speculators on the open market driving oil products sky high. There should be strict regulation on mar- kets that affect the world as much as oil. Many jobs have been and are about to be lost as a direct result of a number of greedy speculators. None of the oil com- panies have come forward with any assis- tance to the auto industry that relies on oil to survive. Now that oil prices are down below $55 per barrel, you would think that gas would sell for no more then say 60 cents per litre ensuring a profit for big oil. How do they explain 90.5 cents per litre? There is no justification other than outright greed! Same goes with all other increases since the big spike. Nobody has dropped the price of anything. Before the price spike in oil, I used to be able to buy a loaf of bread for 89 cents. Now the same loaf is $1.99. Now our provincial government wants to harmonize the sales tax with the fed- eral tax. That would be fine with me if they only did so on products that have both PST and GST. Leave everything else alone. No merchant in their right mind is going to pass on any savings to consum- ers brought about by a combined tax. Why should they? We are used to paying a certain price, and anything else will be more profit. It’s always money, money, money. If we have none left where will they get it from? I urge you all to contact your MP and MPP and complain about it. We are being fleeced like sheep. Jerry J. Verriet Whitby AUTO SECTOR Let’s walk the walk To the editor: Like hell we are going to pay for GM pen- sions. You think the CAW is big, wait until all of us taxpayers who don’t work for GM gath- er together to protest our rights! Maybe it is time to truly stand up for what is fair to every- one. If GM workers can rally together and fight, all of us non-GMers can stand together and really give the government something to think about! You can talk the talk, (non-GM workers), let’s see you walk the walk. Jessica Allen Whitby Stop blaming, start fixing To the editor: The public must stop blaming GM workers and unions. GM workers and unions must stop blaming the company, governments and competition. GM must stop blaming imperfect trade policies and governments must stop blaming company and union management. Truth is, in some way, we are all to blame -- every one of us. Blaming accomplishes noth- ing. Blaming distracts us from analyzing our mistakes and working on real solutions. Blaming turns friends and neighbours into foes. And when we blame, we teach our chil- dren to not take personal responsibility. We are all responsible in one way or another for living the good life without thinking ahead about the long term consequences of our decisions. When human beings think and create and work together, we can do anything -- abso- lutely anything. When people turn their minds to looking after each other and fixing problems -- we fix them. We’re facing tough problems. Let’s be tough on the problems -- not tough on each other! Chris Davies Oshawa Pressure on for federal, provincial help for manufacturing As the recession continues to drag on and the manufacturing job crisis shows no sign of lessening, it’s heartening to see the fighting spirit of local people. Late last month, thousands made their way to Queen’s Park to make it clear they wanted the government to back their pensions should GM and Chrysler go bankrupt. And, just this past weekend, a hardy band of about 100 souls gathered in downtown Oshawa to call on the Prov- ince and the feds to address the crisis in manufacturing. The turnout would likely have been much larger except for a bout of inclem- ent weather. The occasion was the Jobs First rally, its intention to make it clear that manufac- turing matters and employment should be the No. 1 priority of all levels of gov- ernment. Those attending the rally had stories to tell about losing their livelihoods and their desperate attempts to find and hold on to work in these tough times. And what message did they take away, among others? Perhaps this one from Jim Freeman, president of the Durham Region Labour Council: “Everybody should be mad. And when you get mad, stay mad.” That certainly would be one way to look at it, but anger alone won’t create jobs, nor will it provide investment. For that, the combined resources pro- vided through the provincial and federal governments will be needed. To that end, promises made in January by the feds and in March by the Province in their respective budgets to help stim- ulate the economy will need to be real- ized, and soon, to help get the economy rolling. General Motors, at the behest of the feds, wants to talk to the CAW once again -- the third time inside a year -- to reopen a contract signed just last May. Those talks could well set the stage for some major help from the federal gov- ernment which might help solidify the future of car-building for GM in Canada. Unfortunately, all of this comes at the same time as the truck plant is closing. That decision was made nearly a year ago and is a stark reminder of the diffi- cult times the auto business faces. It’s also a red flag for upper levels of government that stimulus spending is needed for manufacturing now, not later. Let the dollars begin to flow so we can begin to ride out this recession and get back to work. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 13, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 13, 20097 AP Officials say they’re working constantly to improve service Part 4 in a year-long series BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Oshawa resident Melissa Bryan simply doesn’t trust GO Transit to get her to work on time. And she’s especially frustrated in the win- ter. “It was constant delays or cancelled trains and they just kept saying ‘switch problems’; it was so bad I started taking the earlier train,” she said. Ms. Bryan now expects the delays. “You can bet every week you’re going to be delayed on at least three to four days,” she said. Pickering resident Carol Brown shares Ms. Bryan’s frustration. “I guess what I would like to see is some planning,” said Ms. Brown. “You know it’s going to be winter, you know there’s going to be snow and ice. Is there not some sort of planning you can do ahead of time to mini- mize the number of switches that freeze or whatever?” Overall this year, trains on the Lakeshore East line were on time 83 per cent of the time in January, 80 per cent of the time in Febru- ary and 87 per cent of the time March. The system-wide rates were 83, 84 and 88 per cent respectively. “We had particularly tough weather in Jan- uary and February and March was a little better and it’s reflected in the overall on-time service,” said Mike Cyr, director of rail servic- es at GO Transit. A train is on time if it arrives within five minutes of its scheduled arrival time. Part of the difficulty for GO, said Mr. Cyr, is that the trains are running along an uncov- ered corridor, leaving them vulnerable to weather, and GO shares the rails with Cana- dian Pacific and Canadian National. He said there isn’t one thing that signifi- cantly causes delays more than anything else, and when tracking what caused a delay, GO has 75 different categories. In fact, signal problems, the No. 1 cause of delays, only account for 11.2 per cent of delays. Other top causes are medical emer- gencies, which account for 6.2 per cent, CN or CP dispatch errors which account for 5.4 per cent and police investigations, which account for 4.7 per cent of delays. Just this week, several Lakeshore East trains were either delayed or cancelled while police investigated after a pedestrian was hit by an early-morning train in Scarborough May 11. GO has about five fatalities on its rail system each year. GO estimates only about 16 per cent of delays are within the organization’s ability to control. The rest, GO simply has to deal with. “Things like police investigations, disabled freight trains, medical emergencies, debris on tracks through vandalism, a number of different items,” said Mr. Cyr. “There’s no real silver bullet.” The cold morning rush hour of Jan. 14 this year left many passengers fuming, including Ms. Brown, who said there was confusion in Pickering on which train was going where and whether passengers could get on. “We were like, we don’t care what’s hap- pening, we just want to get in from the cold and they wouldn’t let us on the train,” she said, adding she waited at least 45 minutes. Mr. Cyr said the issue was getting notifica- tion from CN dispatchers of a signal problem that occurred at about 4 a.m. It took GO about 45 minutes to get people in place to work on the mostly mechanical problem, creating a massive backlog. GO now has procedures resulting in 24-7 coverage from November through February. Beyond that, each year, GO does an in- depth analysis about what took place in the winter and what can be done to prepare for the next one. “We found that our coaches, this year in particular, had problems ... with the function of the coach doors in the extreme cold and in the heavy snows,” said Mr. Cyr, citing one example. As a result, GO will move to using a de-icing option similar to what’s used on airplanes. In 2008, 4.1 per cent of delays were attributed to problems with coaches and locomotives. GO’s stated goal is to have 92 per cent of train trips arriving on time in general and 87 per cent arriving on time during bad weather conditions. Mr. Cyr said he thinks GO is moving in the right direction towards achieving those goals. “GO Transit is spending a large amount of money to improve the customer experience and we definitely are very conscious of the service we provide.” As for passengers like Ms. Brown, they’ll keep taking the train. “It’s a necessity, there’s so many of us that live outside the city that need to get in.” GO train GO train delays delays commoncommon for Durham for Durham commuterscommuters PICKERING -- Pickering resident and daily GO commuter Carol Brown wrote this newspaper relating some of her experiences and frustrations regarding GO service. She’s one of many who doesn’t trust the transportation service to get her to work on time. AJ GROEN / METROLAND Next month Next to delays, the most common complaint among GO riders is parking. We’ll take a look at the issue in Part 5 of the feature series.

As part of this IEA, an Odour Control Strategy was developed, which included construction of an Odour Control Facility (OCF) at Altona Road. In response to Durham Council’s resolution from March 11, 2009 to relocate the OCF, York Region is engaging and consulting further with Durham residents that live within the project study area on measures to minimize odour along the proposed alignment of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer. At the upcoming Public Information Forum, York Region will be presenting information on the assessment of alternative OCF sites, the identifi cation of recommended sites, and additional mitigation measures proposed for the recommended sites. Your participation is an important part of the process and we welcome your input. York Region is committed to listening to and addressing residents’ concerns and fi nding an odour management solution that balances measures to protect the natural environment with the needs of the community. We encourage you to attend the PIF to review the material available and provide any comment or information that you have with regard to the project.

Teddy chose to go to the country because, while he respects people who donate to these organizations, someone has to physically do the work. “Someone has to be the person to go and change things on their own,” he said. Although he’s looking forward to the experience and meeting new people, Teddy is doing it to help the kids. “I’m not going on this trip for myself. I’m going to help the causes of injustice,” he said, referring to kids in Africa not getting a proper education and being forced into labour. Pickering resident and Brock University student, Megan Oates, has also gone to Kenya to build a school, but she left on Monday, May 11. The history major and tourism minor, who’s graduating at the end of this year, chose to go as a graduation gift to herself (along with some help from her family, boyfriend and friends who did their own surprise campaign to help send her there). “I have the opportunity to make change so I figured this is the way to do it,” she said in an interview before leaving. Aside from the trip, she works to help the under-privileged children from home with the Free the Children group at Brock. “We’ve been working all year to host a conference at Brock,” she said. Both students will learn leadership skills on their trips. AJAX from page 1 Someone has to be the person to go and change things on their own.

Despite a rainy day May 9, more than 100 people came to the Jobs First rally at Memo- rial Park in Oshawa with umbrellas, ponchos and rain boots to make noise about job losses in the manufacturing sector. “We’re here to bring attention to the whole issue of job loss and future prosperity,” Oshawa Mayor John Gray said. The municipality can only do so much to create jobs with its limited budget, he said. “It’s up to the federal and provincial gov- ernments to come to the table.” Lawrence Tennant attended the rally with his dog Jingles who wore a Protect Pensions sign. Mr. Tennant said he came because he wants to make sure his pension as a GM worker is protected. “I’m here because I worked 30 years at GM,” he said. “We worked hard for our pen- sions and we deserve them.” CAW union representative Greg Moffatt is among the union leaders going back to the bargaining table with General Motors. This is the third time in a year that the union has negotiated a contract with the auto giant, 365 days full of job losses, bankruptcy rumours, government loans, shift cutbacks and soon, on May 14, the local truck plant closing. “We’re going to be creative,” he said. “We need to make sure we do everything we can to protect our pensioners and do what we can to get our younger members off the street and back to work.” Laid-off workers, CAW president Ken Lewenza and federal NDP leader Jack Lay- ton were among the speakers at the rally. Tammy Schoep, laid off from her GM job, told the crowd her emotional story. The 30- year-old mother of three worked hard at her job as a GM line worker to give her kids a nice home. Ms. Schoep was pregnant with her third child when she graduated high school, which she said she finished with help from her mom, who baby-sat her kids for free while she took classes. She said she laboured tirelessly so she could show her three girls that women who work hard can go far in life. And, on the day before Mother’s Day, Ms. Schoep’s daughters, Mykayla, 14, Kirsten, 11 and Franky, 9, joined her on stage while she shared her journey. “I bought a house that I could afford if I was laid off for a short time,” she said. But now she’s been out of work for a long time and is starting to wonder what to do next. Ms. Schoep said she might have to give up her house and her car and declare bank- ruptcy because the cash is starting to run dry and employment insurance won’t cover everything. “My mortgage is $300 a week no matter what,” she said. Durham Region Labour Council president Jim Freeman said it was time to get fired up about the economic situation in Canada. “Everybody should be mad,” he said. “And when you get mad, stay mad.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 13, 200912 AP YOUR CASINO TOUR SPECIALISTS!

It’s not surprising then to fi nd that people are moving outdoors to create more space at home to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Today the options for furnishing an outdoor living space are limitless. An outdoor room is easy to create. The components of such a space usually include a barbecue, seating and dining area, and may incorporate a fi replace, fi repit or chiminea. Some outdoor rooms take it further with an outdoor kitchen complete with a refrigerator and dishwasher even. But don’t stop there. You can also add a pizza oven, cocktail bar, fountain, trellis, patio heater, hot tub or swimming pool. Simple or elaborate, an outdoor room is an extension of your home. Keep that in mind when you design your outdoor space. Make it fi t your personality and needs. Start by creating a wish list. Flip through magazines and clip pictures that create the look you seek. And remember, an outdoor room can evolve over years if you end up with a large wish list but have a limited budget. The fi rst year, defi ne the grilling, dining and lounging areas. Later you can accessorize. Draw up a plan with a focal point. An outdoor room has many of the same elements as those inside your house. For a foundation, will you have a deck or patio stones? For walls, will there be a fence, retaining wall or hedge? Landscaping becomes the décor for your outdoor space. It can be used to create texture and mood, and to bring cohesion to your room. Next, you’ll want to furnish your space—a wide variety of options exist here—enough to suit any outdoor living vision. Finally, don’t overlook the lighting. It can be the fi nishing touch that brings your outdoor space together adding drama and romance. Above all, have fun designing and developing your outdoor room. The goal is to create a space that meets all your needs for comfort and relaxation. More information about creating the ultimate backyard is available at www.leisurescapes. com.

The majority of Canadians across all age and income levels are adjusting how they live and how they spend, with almost half feeling the cost of living is their most urgent concern. 63 % • of Canadians surveyed describe their personal circumstances as “just getting by.” 48 % • of Canadians cite the perceived cost of living as their single big- gest concern 33 % • of Canadians cite the value of their investments as their biggest concern 16 % • of Canadians say job security is their biggest concern NOTE: “There seems to be a unique perception from Canadians that there is more than just a recession under- way,” says Mark Adler, presi- dent of The Economic Club of Canada. “The possibility exists of a more longer last- ing, fundamental attitudinal shift of consumer values and habits than ever before expe- rienced. We may indeed look back upon this period as a turning point in our percep- tions and our behaviours.” TRENDset INNOVATION The net effect on business Love of volleyball leads to Durham Region business and made-in-Canada clothing line BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON -- At first, Zuby Shaikh just wanted to be able to play some good, com- petitive volleyball without having to drive to Toronto. Now he runs a large, three-tier league out of Oshawa and Clarington and has his own vol- leyball clothing line. Mr. Shaikh is a teacher at Bowmanville High School who played varsity volleyball for Trent University. He said he was tired of making the trip down Hwy. 401 and across the Don Val- ley Parkway just to spike, volley and serve with people at his skill level. So Mr. Shaikh and two other teachers start- ed a business, Invado Volleyball. The league’s name is Latin and means “to attack.” The indoor league runs out of locations in Bowmanville, Courtice and Oshawa. The beach volleyball part of the league runs from the Oshawa lakeshore. Since then the other teachers have retired from the organization, but the company that started six years ago as a league close to home now has three levels of play from recreation- al to advanced and had over 50 teams in its indoor league in the winter. In the summer, Invado has three sessions of beach volleyball and two indoor sessions. Mr. Shaikh said he thinks part of the rea- son the league has been so successful is he’s played volleyball, so he knows what works and what doesn’t. Knowing that playing the game against a team of a different skill level wasn’t much fun, Mr. Shaikh introduced floating tiers to his league. If a team plays another team and gets creamed one week, they move down a level or the team that beats them moves up. It’s fairer and more interesting for the players this way, Mr. Shaikh said. “I didn’t like seeing someone not having fun,” he said. And players don’t have fun when the teams aren’t evenly matched, he said. Once the league started to take off, Mr. Shai- kh decided having a special clothing line with Invado’s logo on it would be good promotion. But the apparel that started as a way to get the league’s logo out there, so more people would be enticed to join, soon turned into much, much more. Soon players who won the clothes as prizes were asking where they could get more. Mr. Shaikh started selling his pieces, Ethi- cal Apparel, from Invado’s website. The online release of the summer collection will be in August and will include Canadian-made and printed clothing like warm-ups, tees, shorts, beachwear, ball caps and visors. Making sure the clothing was made in Cana- da at companies with fair labour practices was really important to Mr. Shaikh, he said. The social sciences teacher is a self-described “big anti-sweatshop kind of guy.” So when he start- ed making volleyball clothes as a branch of his business, he wanted to make sure he was running a business with a conscience. Finding a Canadian clothing manufactur- er that would make his product was a diffi- cult process, he said. “It’s tough to find a good place,” he said. Eventually he did. Now the clothes are made in the Greater Toronto Area -- in Scarborough and Concord mostly -- and Mr. Shaikh said he has toured all the shops that make his clothing to ensure they do not use illegal immigrants as labour or pay them less than minimum wage. He chose small companies where he actual- ly knows the people making the products, he said. The line 75 has taken off and now the com- pany has to turn down contracts. Invado has even beaten out larger companies in bids to make clothing for different organizations, in part because they are sweatshop-free, Mr. Shaikh said. “Our goal is to push the market (towards sweatshop-free manufacturing).” Most businesses owners won’t make the switch until it hurts their bottom line, he said. “The only way businesses will ever change practices is if it becomes bad for business.” WEB www.invado.ca PHONE 905-926-BALL A.J.

West was the school’s soccer team’s freshman captain, as it com- peted in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. At the end of the season, West received a plethora of awards at the SWAC banquet including freshman of the year, offensive player of the year and all-conference first-team honours. She was also named the soccer statistical champion by NCAA Division 1 for points per game and goals per game, where she ranked first in both categories. The 5-foot-6 forward fin- ished with 16 goals and 45 points on the year. She was also fourth in assists per game. In addition, at the University Of Arkansas-Pine Bluff athletic banquet, West won the athlete of the year for 2009, earned an academic and ath- letic excellence award, the 2008/2009 Letter A Club Award for soccer and the H.O. Clemmons Award, also for soc- cer. Rock come up short in home opener Ajax-Pickering falls 12-10 to Norwood BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A one-goal lead heading into the third period wasn’t enough for the Ajax-Pickering Rock, which dropped its first game of the Sr. B lacrosse season on the weekend. The 12-10 setback to the Norwood Nitro on Friday night wasn’t the kind of result the club was looking for in its home opener, especial- ly since the game marked the first at the Ajax Community Complex after playing in Pickering since the team’s induction into the league. “We were quite happy with the turnout,” said GM and assistant coach Paul St. John. “Unfor- tunately for us we’re not back at home until June 13, but I know a lot of (the fans) are already talking about coming back to the next one.” The Rock carried a 7-6 advantage into the final period but was outscored 6-3 in the final 20 minutes to fall to 1-1 on the season after opening with a 13-11 victory in Oshweken a week earlier. The game was even at 8-8 when a call went against the Rock that changed the momen- tum, said St. John. As the 30 second shot clock expired, Rock netminder J. Preece had the ball in the corner of his own zone, dropped it to the floor, and turned to go back to the net. Before he could get there, the referee blew the play in, and a Norwood player scooped up the ball and fired it into the empty net. “I’ve never seen, in all my years of lacrosse, where the referee doesn’t allow a goalie to get back into his net,” said St. John. The Rock tied the game at 9-9, but two power play goals, and another into an empty net, accounted for the rest of the Norwood scoring in the final three minutes. Mark Craig led the offence for the Rock, scor- ing three times and adding just as many assists, while Jamie Plunkett potted four goals and added an assist. Last year’s league scoring lead- er, Travis Bland, had a big night with six help- ers. Other goals on the night went to David Brown, Pavel Dosly and Justin Klopfer, all with one each. The Rock will have a chance at revenge on Friday when the team visits Norwood for an 8:30 p.m. start. SNOWBOARDING Richard Evanoff of Pickering solid on the slopes PICKERING -- An impressive sea- son on the snowboarding slopes land- ed Pickering’s Richard Evanoff a spot at nationals. Testing out new equipment, Eva- noff had a little bit of a rough go, fall- ing and finishing in fifth place. But that certainly didn’t take away from a magnificent season otherwise. Evanoff finished first in the par- allel slalom (PLS) and fourth in the parallel giant slalom (PGS) in January at the NorAm FIS race at Le Relais, Quebec. In February at Mont Blanc, Que- bec, Evanoff captured a first in the PGS, and was also in top spot later that month at the Blue Mountain Pro- vincial series. He followed that up with another pair of first-place showings, one at the Mansfield Provincial series and one at the Caledon Provincial series. Also, at Holimont, New York and the USASA series, Evanoff captured a first, thanks to a combined PGS and PSL score. This fall he will head west to train with the Alberta Snowboard team and hopes to soon qualify for the national development team. SR.

Please Don’t Drive Impaired Choosing to Drink & Drive Is Really No Choice At All ADVERTISING FEATURE The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators developed Road Safety Vision 2010. It is a national trafﬁ c strategy designed to establish benchmarks against which community safety efforts can be developed and their success measured. Part of the plan includes an annual campaign to raise public awareness of road safety issues. May 12th through the 18th will mark this year’s crusade to make Canada’s highways, the safest in the world. The week was strategically chosen to encompass the ﬁ rst holiday weekend of the summer season where traditionally many of us head out of town to party. It is also no coincidence that the provincial government, recently introduced new administrative licence suspensions for those who drive while under the inﬂ uence. Replacing the 12-hour licence suspension for having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 50mg is a progressive suspension program. Repeat offenders are dealt with in a progressively severe manner. Suspension periods increase with each incident, and the leasing of an ignition interlock device becomes optional. The following outlines the new sanctions: The ﬁ rst incident requires a 3-day licence suspension and a $150.00 administrative fee A second incident requires a 7-day suspension, the completion of a alcohol education program, and a $150.00 administrative fee A third incident requires a 30-day suspension, the completion of a remedial alcohol treatment program, an ignition interlock condition placed on your licence for a period of six months and a $150.00 administrative fee. Further incidents in a ﬁ ve-year period will include the above and a mandatory medical examination. It should be noted that the suspension takes effect immediately, your licence is seized and returned to the Ministry of Transportation, and in most cases your vehicle will be towed at your expense. According to 2006 statistics, Ontario’s road safety ranking is the best in North America. The trafﬁ c fatality rate is at its lowest since 1931. Changes such as above, along with the continued efforts of the Durham Regional Police who make roadway safety a strategic priority, will continue to make the Durham Region community safe for people to live, work and play. Together we do make a difference. Do your part and drive smart! Sergeant Kennaley has been a member of the Durham Regional Police for 19 years.
