DURHAM -- While Ontario’s most urgent problem is the thousands of people stuck on unbudging wait lists for a nursing-home bed, barri-
ers to care can also arise once a senior secures a placement. Nursing home system in paralysis
BY JILLIAN FOLLERT, ROB O’FLANAGAN
AND MIKE ADLER
newsroom@durhamregion.com
Ontario’s long-term care system is paralyzed,
and failing its most vulnerable residents. More
than 600 government funded homes are sup-
posed to provide high quality, round-the-clock
care to the frail elderly. But Metroland’s special
report shows seniors stuck on record wait lists,
entangled in bureaucracy and subject to pres-
sure tactics that jeopardize their rights.
First in a four-part series
DURHAM -- When Peggy McLaurin opened
her front door at 4 a.m. to find the police return-
ing her husband, who had been found wander-
ing aimlessly through the neighbourhood, the
Oshawa woman knew it was time to consider
long-term care.
What she didn’t know, was how stressful, how
difficult and how gut-wrenching the process
would be.
Peggy and Doug, a retired veterinarian who
spent years working at East Oshawa Animal
Hospital, have been married for 33 years.
Their retired years were typical until about
a year and a half ago, when Mr. McLaurin, 83,
began struggling with the onset of dementia.
At first, he was cared for at home, but soon it
became too much.
“He was becoming more confused and he was
falling all the time,” Ms. McLaurin says. “Every
time he fell, I had to call my son-in-law to come
over and pick him up.”
It was suggested that he be admitted to hospi-
tal for rehab treatment to keep up the strength
in his muscles and limbs.

An Uphill Climb: Wheels in motion
toward improved accessibility in Durham
Accessibility Expo
addresses the need
to educate business
owners on new law
PARVANEH PESSIAN
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- When most business own-
ers hear the words “accessible customer
service”, they usually assume this refers to
installing a ramp or an automatic door at
their establishment.
But when it comes to taking the necessary
measures to comply with new legislative
standards passed into law under the Acces-
sibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act,
it goes well beyond that, says Tracey Tyner
Cavanagh, accessibility coordinator with the
Region of Durham.
“It’s not so much about renovating or hav-
ing accessible entrances -- it’s more about
how you’re providing your service,” she
said.
“So it could mean taking more time for
somebody explaining something, having a
chair for them to sit down and wait instead
of standing in a long lineup and all the other
creative ways of providing customer ser-
vice.”
Public businesses have been making
tweaks to reduce barriers for individuals
with physical limitations for years and had
until last March to comply with the law. But
the new standards will now also place the
same responsibility on private organiza-
tions. These smaller businesses and not-for-
profits will have until Jan. 1, 2012.
To help ease the transition, an Accessibil-
ity Expo is being held in the Campus Recre-
ation and Wellness Centre at Durham Col-
lege/UOIT in Oshawa from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
on June 17. The day-long event will feature
an accessibility marketplace of more than
100 exhibitors demonstrating related tech-
nologies and devices, community services
and information, home health-care prod-
ucts and services.
The idea to host the event came from the
various volunteers who make up the region-
al and local municipal accessibility advi-
sory committees, along with the economic
development and tourism department of
the Region of Durham.
Paul Feldman, chairman of the Ajax com-
mittee, who uses a wheelchair due to a
severe disability, was one of the first people
to suggest this type of event be held locally.
“This will place Durham Region as a lead-
er in ensuring its residents are aware of the
Accessibility for Ontarians Disabilities Act,
as well as goods and services that will assist
in breaking down barriers to accessibility,”
he said.
A special breakfast will be held just before
the Expo, from 7:30 to 10 a.m., to offer busi-
ness owners an exclusive opportunity to
learn more about the legislation and pro-
vide essential tips on how to adhere to the
requirements without breaking the bank.
“We don’t want businesses making
assumptions and thinking that this means
a lot of money and a lot of investment,” said
Ms. Tyner Cavanagh.
“It’s not necessarily about that -- it’s about
having a greater awareness of the entire
community and what some of their needs
are.”
Edie Forsyth, corporate director of an
Oshawa-based consulting and training firm,
Accessibility Experts Ltd., will be speaking at
the event.
“We just completed a survey where we
polled Ontarians about whether they knew
what this Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act was and 68 per cent had
never even heard of it,” she said.
“We want to get the word out to people and
educate businesses and non-profit organi-
zations so that they’re in compliance with
this legislation because they only have until
the end of next year.”
The Accessibility Expo will also include
presentations and performances by spe-
cial guests, including motivational speak-
ers Robert Pio Hajjar and Dr. Mark Nagler,
Paralympic gold medalist and sledge hock-
ey goaltender Paul Rosen and singer/song-
writer Justin Hines.
The Durham Region Accessibility Expo
will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thurs-
day, June 17 in the Campus Recreation and
Wellness Centre at Durham College/UOIT,
located at 2000 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa. The
event is open to the public and admission is
free.

DURHAM -- The battle between those
opposed to an incinerator and those sup-
porting the facility is getting touchy.
A sharp exchange during a Regional coun-
cil meeting Wednesday between Durham
Chairman Roger Anderson and Oshawa
Councillor Brian Nicholson highlighted the
division.
The exchanged started when Coun. Nich-
olson said Regional staff were ignoring direc-
tion and approving a contract that didn’t
meet the council guidelines.
Mr. Anderson stopped the councillor and
asked him to retract the statement.
“Ask away,” Coun. Nicholson said.
“You cannot, cannot, stand in this cham-
ber, with me in this chair, and suggest staff
deliberately went against a resolution of this
council,” Mr. Anderson said.
Coun. Nicholson said he didn’t say that,
but Mr. Anderson ruled him out of order
and turned off his microphone.
When Coun. Nicholson challenged the
chairman’s ruling, he lost in a 16-2 vote (10
councillors were absent when the vote was
taken). Fellow Oshawa Councillor April Cul-
len supported Coun. Nicholson.
The provincial ministry of the environment
(MOE) is expected to announce a decision
on Durham’s incinerator plans within the
next few weeks.
Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis said
Durham and York regions are waiting for the
MOE decision before signing the contract
with Covanta, the company Durham select-
ed to design, build and operate the facility.
Staff is waiting for the MOE decision to see
if it impacts the contract, he noted.
Clarington resident Wendy Bracken, an
opponent of the incinerator, implored coun-
cillors to review the contract before it’s final.
“You need to see the contract. It’s absolute-
ly critical to protecting the health in Durham
Region,” she said.
Linda Gasser, another Clarington resident
and incinerator opponent, noted the con-
tract has been signed, but Durham and the
Region of York, which will also ship garbage
to the incinerator, are still waiting for the
MOE decision.
“That Covanta has signed a contract before
the approval indicates to me they have off-
loaded their concerns on the Regions,” she
said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 20104

Staff seeing
‘upswing’
in student
employment
market for the
summer
JENNIFER STONE

DURHAM -- The local
student employment cen-
tre is seeing an “upswing”
in the number of summer
jobs available to youth
this year, says a centre
staffer.
The Durham Region
Service Canada Centre for
Youth, with locations in
both Oshawa and Ajax, is
up and running.
“Because of the reces-
sion, there weren’t a lot of
jobs out there for students
last year,” youth services
officer Sase Narayan said.
But so far this year, “we
do see a trend of going
back up in terms of jobs,”
she said.
The centre provides
youth with job-hunting
help including access to
job postings and assis-
tance with resume-writ-
ing and cover letters.
Prospective employ-
ers are able to find flex-
ible staff, post volunteer
opportunities and receive
information on prevailing
wage rates, employment
standards and labour
laws.
So far this year, a “pretty
good assortment of jobs,”
ranging from kitchen help
to office work and beyond,
is available, Mr. Narayan
said.
Also available is the “Odd
Job Squad,” which allows
short-term employers to
find casual labourers for
jobs like fence-painting or
yard work.
The Oshawa centre,
located in Midtown Mall
at 200 John St. W., is open
Monday to Friday, 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Ajax site, at 320
Harwood Ave. S., is open
Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
Job listings for students
are also available online
at www.job bank.gc.ca.
The Centre will also
hold a Job Expo, set for
Wednesday, July 14 from
11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the
Best Western Oshawa, 559
Bloor St. W.
It’s open to both job and
employee seekers.

Ajax Lions Club eyeglass
collection project a success
To the editor:
The Ajax Lions Club would like to thank
the community for supporting our Lions
Recycle for Sight used eyeglasses collec-
tion program.
Throughout the Lions year, which runs
from September until June, we collected
more than 1,885 pairs of unwanted eye-
glasses, lenses and sunglasses for those in
need in developing countries.
The donated specs have been sent to our
regional eyeglass recycling centre where
they will be cleaned, sorted by prescription
and prepared for distribution by Lions and
other groups.
By taking the time to give us your glass-
es, you have helped to improve the life
of someone in need. In most developing
nations, eye care is either unaffordable or
inaccessible.
And for many, poor eyesight that is left
uncorrected can lead to unemployment
for adults and a child’s inability to attend
school.
The Ajax Lions Club would also like to
express our appreciation to the follow-
ing locations: Pickering Optical, Walmart
Vision Centre Ajax location, Dr. Ginter’s
office, Kearns Optical, and Ajax Optical
for contributing to the project’s success by
serving as convenient drop-off centres.
The locations still have boxes available
for glasses to be dropped off.
Those interested in learning more
about other Lions Club activities
can contact Micheline Rheaume at
lionmich@smerkette.ca or Rick Lush at
lionrick@smerker.ca.
Thanks again for sharing our vision of
helping others to see.

Missing sweaters
a big disappointment
To the editor:
On Friday, June 4, my father was looking
after my two little girls and took them over
to our neighbourhood park along Glenan-
na Road. When he got home he realized
that he had left their sweaters at the park
but was unable to go right back to get them
since he had put my youngest down for a
nap. I returned home within two hours of
him leaving the sweaters at the park and
I immediately went over to get them but
discovered that they had been stolen. I
thought I lived in a decent family neigh-
bourhood but I am disgusted that some-
one would take two little sweaters from a
neighbourhood park instead of leaving
them on the bench. I hope the person who
took the sweaters is reading this and feels
remorse for what they have done.

Pet owner must accept
some responsibility
To the editor:
Re: Dog was struck and killed by a car on
Fairport Road Friday, May 21.
As a homeowner in the neighbourhood
and a fellow dog owner, I was saddened to
see the sign put up announcing this dog’s
untimely death due to “speeding”.
However, I fail to see how “speed” is
deemed as the sole factor in the poor pet’s
death. Why wasn’t this pet on a leash? What
was he doing on this very busy street?
Surely, the owner must accept some of
the responsibility for his pet’s death.

AID
Home at Last helped me
To the editor:
I would like to bring attention to, and
publicly thank, one of the many fine vol-
unteer organizations operating in Durham
Region. Earlier his year, I was hospitalized
and on my release date, I was prepared to
take a taxi home. As I am a senior citizen
living alone, the nurse suggested and con-
tacted the organization Home At Last.
Brenda, the young lady who arrived to
take me home, was courteous and she not
only drove me home, but also stopped in to
the supermarket and helped me pick up a
few groceries that I needed.
I would like to thank Home at Last for the
extreme kindness Brenda showed me that
day. Everyone in Durham Region should
be thankful that there are wonderful vol-
unteer organizations like this in our area.
One of these organizations might give a
helping hand to someone near to you.

Oshawa
A sense of elation over the Province’s
long-awaited announcement on the Hwy.
407 expansion turned to disbelief last
week, when the fine print on the news was
revealed. Instead of building the toll road
from Pickering straight through to Hwy.
35/115 in Clarington, as long-drafted plans
have always called for, Queen’s Park now
intends to end the highway at Simcoe Street
in Oshawa.
Durham’s politicians and business com-
munity could be forgiven if they felt a gift
had been bestowed upon them, only to be
snatched away in the next breath. While
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson called
it “good news and bad news”, there isn’t an
air of eager anticipation floating around
Whitby or Oshawa municipal offices, where
officials have visions of gridlock in their
heads.
Indeed, gridlock and a long-recognized
need for an enhanced east-west transpor-
tation corridor through the Greater Toronto
Area has always been behind the plans for
Hwy. 407, which currently stretches from
Burlington in the west through to Picker-
ing’s Brock Road. Durham Region has wait-
ed patiently and eagerly for decades to see
the project come to fruition, right through
to Clarington as has always been expect-
ed. For commuters, and for businesses
that depend on moving freight through the
area, the expanded Hwy. 407 would take a
welcome load off an increasingly clogged
Hwy. 401.But ending the highway instead
at Simcoe Street in Oshawa will put a strain
on the city’s local roads, and it’s a point Mr.
Anderson made sure to share with Energy
and Infrastructure Minister Brad Duguid
when he met with him recently, hoping to
convince him of the need to build the entire
highway. The chairman called the abbrevi-
ated plans for the highway “a big problem
for us. It will be a significant problem for
Whitby and it will be a significant problem
for Oshawa.”
Durham politicians need only cast glances
as far east as Pickering, to see how the City
has been negatively impacted by streams of
407 traffic exiting onto local streets, when
they get to the end of the line at Brock Road.
Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson called
the plan “a recipe for chaos on Simcoe
Street.” With Provincial approval bestowed
on the highway’s environmental assess-
ment and transportation officials appar-
ently ready to put a shovel in the ground, it
makes little sense to create a second set of
problems while building to alleviate the first
problem. The Province would serve taxpay-
ers best by doing the project right the first
time, and taking the highway all the way to
Clarington’s 35/115 link.

Hwy. 407 needs to go all the way to the end of the line
durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 20107
P
But once Mr. McLaurin became a patient at
Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, his demen-
tia rapidly worsened. He was no longer able
to participate in rehab therapy, but hospital
staff determined he was too sick to go home
again.
With no long-term care beds available,
Mr. McLaurin became stuck in a state of
limbo that hospitals call “Alternative Level
of Care” or ALC.
He and his wife chose three long-term
care homes in Oshawa and were put on a
waiting list, but it wasn’t long before Ms.
McLaurin says she began to feel pressured
to choose different facilities.
“There was a long wait for the homes in
Oshawa and they wanted to get him out,”
she says. “They kept pushing and pushing
until I took him off the list for the homes he
wanted and put him on ones with shorter
lists.”
Those lists were for homes in Bowmanville,
Cannington and Newcastle.
She said the hospital threatened her with
a $900 a day fee if a bed came up in one of
the Clarington homes, and the McLaurins
refused to accept it.
They’re already paying $1,400 a month for
him to stay in hospital as an ALC patient, a
hardship for Ms. McLaurin, who still lives in
their home and is responsible for all those
bills.
Ms. McLaurin says she is diligent about
visiting her husband in hospital every day -
- he has since been transferred to Lakeridge
Health Oshawa -- but she worries about
getting to and from nursing homes in Clar-
ington, if that’s where he ends up.
“People need someone to visit them every
day,” she says. “They go downhill without
that.”
A growing number of vulnerable Ontari-
ans are trying with little success to find what
they need in a long-term care system that is
overwhelmed, unwieldy and tangled in red
tape.
Health Minister Deb Matthews agrees
there are problems, but says it will take time
to turn the system around.
The Province’s $3-billion-a-year network
of government-licensed, publicly support-
ed nursing homes is meant to provide high-
quality care to Ontario’s most fragile and
medically needy residents.
Situation Critical -- a Metroland Special
Report -- shows a system in paralysis, with
only one nursing-home bed in 100 available
across Ontario, and with an average wait as
high as 200 days in some areas.
A $1.1-billion government program, cre-
ated three years ago to make home support
more widely and easily available, was sup-
posed to ease the problem.
Instead, wait lists have expanded, leaving
more seniors in need of long-term care at
home, and thousands more taking up hos-
pital beds with nowhere to go.
From 2007 to 2009, the average wait time
for a nursing-home bed in Ontario more
than doubled, from 49 to 109 days.
The provincewide tally of people waiting
is now more than 25,000 and rising, dou-
bled from 12,000 in 2005.
The supply of new beds is static, with
annual growth of less than 1 per cent. Only
900 more beds are expected to be available
in nursing homes over the next 24 months.
For hard-to-place seniors with a need for
a higher level of care, waits can be two or
more times the average. In rural areas and
northern Ontario, families may be separat-
ed by hundreds of kilometres, if there are
beds at all. On average, less than 40 per cent
of applicants get their first-choice home.
Ms. Matthews, the health minister, says
she is aware “we do have work to do in the
access to long-term care homes.
“We know that people are waiting a long
time to get into a long-term care home. But,
we also know that with the right invest-
ments, we can actually keep people at home
longer.”
Ms. Matthews says the ultimate solution is
to rely more on care at home, and to make
greater use of shorter-term “restorative”
beds.
By February, Ontario had 813 of the inter-
im beds Ms. Matthews referred to, in nurs-
ing homes, hospitals or hospital-managed
sites, and more are planned, the ministry
says.
In such placements, the elderly are “build-
ing their strength up, they’re getting health-
ier, and are actually, many of them, going
home, those who would have otherwise
thought they were going into long-term
care,” Ms. Matthews says.
The Metroland investigation also found
bureaucracy is such an obstacle that con-
sultants to industry and the U.S. military are
being retained to help improve the process
of moving people into nursing homes. Some
efficiency methods being tried in Ontario
are adapted from the assembly lines of the
Toyota car company.
One study counted 160 distinct steps,
including access to nine separate databas-
es, just to move a senior from hospital into a
long-term care bed.
Done by Orillia consultant Jeff Dole-
weerd from observations at Quinte Health
Care’s Trenton Memorial, that 2008 study -
- sponsored by the Toronto-based Change
Foundation -- identified wasteful steps that
occur in hospital before patients leave for a
nursing home.
***
Efficiency consultant Ron Bercaw has
adapted a Toyota assembly line technique
to help streamline the process of getting
Ontario’s elderly out of hospitals and into
nursing-home beds.
Mr. Bercaw first adapted the “Lean” tech-
nique to save a failing auto-parts plant he
managed in Ohio, and then taught it to 30
Ontario hospitals and Community Care
Access Centres (CCACs) in the last two and
a half years.
His tools include streamlining procedures
he executed for the defence industry and at
the Pentagon.
Mr. Bercaw’s “kaizen” (Japanese for
“change for the better”) events help health
administrators see unnecessary steps that
prevent the free flow of the elderly into
nursing homes.
Susan Bisaillon, executive director of clin-
ical operations of Trillium Health Centre in
Mississauga, says the Lean exercise with Mr.
Bercaw helped identify waste.
In 2009, Trillium had as many as 131
seniors earmarked for nursing-home care
in its wards, and a “consistently gridlocked”
emergency room, recalls Ms. Bisaillon.
Mr. Bercaw had staff place coloured sticky
notes on a wall to recreate every step in
a patient’s journey to either a long-term
care bed or home. There were 82, and only
16 added real value for the patient.
It was an “ah-ha moment” proving Trilli-
um’s processes needed a major overhaul.
“We realized that it was just totally flawed,”
Ms. Bisaillon says.
***
Metroland also found that those fortunate
enough to secure a placement are cared for
predominantly by overwhelmed personal
support workers for whom a lack of provin-
cial regulation means inconsistent training,
lack of accountability and a backbreaking
work pace that often removes the opportu-
nity for meaningful personal contact.
Nursing home staff in general are stretched
to the limit, the result of years of understaff-
ing and a steady influx of older and sicker
residents.
That trend will continue.
In a decade, the first of the baby boom
generation will hit 75. By 2036, the number
of Ontarians 75 and over will rise to 2.2 mil-
lion, from 850,000 today.
New regulations come into force next
month in a modernized piece of long-term-
care legislation in the works since 2003.
Ministry officials hope the regulations will
spur significant change.
Once in a home -- despite the system’s ail-
ments -- most residents rate the care as sat-
isfactory, according to a 2009 survey by the
Ontario Health Quality Council.
Getting through the door remains the
major challenge.

Endless wait for long-term care
SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
OSHAWA -- Peggy McLaurin’s husband has dementia among other issues and is cur-
rently at Lakeridge Oshawa awaiting a bed in a long-term care facility. She has con-
cerns about the cost of care and the fact that her husband will likely be sent to a
home in another municipality.
From page 1
FAST FACTS
Get in line early
The average wait for a long term care bed in the
Central East LHIN is 111 days. Only 37.7 per cent
get their first choice of home.
There was a long wait for the homes in Oshawa and they
wanted to get him out. They kept pushing and pushing until I took him off the
list for the homes he wanted and put him on ones with shorter lists.

RECREATION
Time to power up for boat safety in Pickering
Frenchman’s Bay
Canadian Power
and Sail Squadron
offers free checks
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Now that spring is
upon Ontario and its waters are
bustling with activity, it’s time to
get up to speed on boat safety,
said Paul Lennerton, public rela-
tions officer of the Frenchman’s
Bay Canadian Power and Sail
Squadron.
Last week at Frenchman’s Bay,
members promoted the many
courses surrounding boat safety
offered in Pickering, and also con-
ducted courtesy checks for boat-
ers who wished to ensure their
boats were properly equipped
with safety equipment.
“Unfortunately, we’ve already
had too many drownings and
boating accidents already this
year” in Ontario, Mr. Lennerton
said.
But, Mr. Lennerton said, as long
as proper safety precautions are
taken, power boating and sailing
can provide great opportunities.
For example, one couple who
just completed a safety course
planned to sail south this sum-
mer.
“Having that boating course
under their belts will help them
tremendously,” he said.
Mr. Lennerton performed a
safety check on squadron sec-
retary Judi Kowalchuk’s power
boat, called My Idea.
She passed with flying colours
after showing her boating licence,
flare gun, life jackets, boat regis-
tration, marine radio, fire extin-
guisher, water-tight flashlight,
navigation lights and a number of
other safety requirements.
Ms. Kowalchuk and her hus-
band recently moved onto their
boat for the summer.
“I love it, just absolutely love it,”
she said. “It’s like waking up as if
you’re on vacation every day. But
I don’t think we would have done
it if we hadn’t taken the course.
That 14 weeks really makes a big
difference.”
The check is not mandatory,
but a good idea to ensure the boat
is at its safest, said Mr. Lennerton,
who gave a sticker to people who
passed.
He added many boaters want to
learn about boating quickly, but
the recreational activity is some-
thing that is very dynamic and he
encourages taking proper cours-
es on boat safety.
The 14-week boat course will
begin Oct. 12 and is $266. The
boat pro course begins Oct. 13
and is $69.
The very high frequency radio
course will take place on Nov.
20 and 21, and is $79. The global
positioning system course takes
place Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, and is
$75 to join.
Registering now is encouraged
to reserve a spot. More courses
will be available in 2011.

Squadron, conducted recreational vessel courtesy checks as
part of Safe Boating Week. Mr. Lennerton demonstrated safety
issues to look for on a boat.

AWARD
Metroland’s Durham and Northumberland divison
takes Canadian Journalism Foundation top honours
Paper ‘hitting well above
its weight,’ says judge
DURHAM -- Metroland’s Durham Region
Media Group (MDRMG) has won the
Canadian Journalism Foundation’s (CJF)
Excellence in Journalism award.
The award, presented during a gala fea-
turing a virtual who’s who of Canadian
journalism in Toronto Thursday night,
honours an organization which embod-
ies exemplary journalistic standards and
practices.
The MDRMG includes Oshawa,
Whitby and Clarington This Week, Ajax/
Pickering News Advertiser, Port Perry
Star, Uxbridge Times-Journal, Northum-
berland News and the Brighton Indepen-
dent.
The newspapers’ submission “both
wowed and educated the jury since sev-
eral of its members were unfamiliar with
the publication,” said a news release from
the CJF.
“This paper is hitting well above its
weight, not afraid to take on large gov-
ernment institutions and the justice sys-
tem in the pursuit of full disclosure and
the public’s right to know,” said John
Macfarlane, CJF’s chairman.
“This is a spectacular honour,” noted
MDRMG Editor-In-Chief Joanne
Burghardt.
“An achievement that each and every
member of our staff can be very proud of
because they have all contributed to our
success. Their dedication, profession-
alism, skills and willingness to take on
new challenges make them a force to be
reckoned with on any level – large, small,
local, regional or national.”
Previous winners in the small/local
category (introduced in 2007) have been
the daily Guelph Mercury: The Telegram,
a daily from St. John’s, Newfoundland;
and the Tyee, a unique virtual magazine
in Vancouver, B.C.
The Toronto Star won the Excellence in
Journalism Award in the large or national
media category, sponsored by the Jack-
man Foundation and the Canadian Jour-
nalism Foundation.
“Editors, publishers and even owners
are only as good as their reporters, and
this country has some great reporters --
I’d like to say mostly at the Toronto Star,
but also at The Globe and Mail, and the
National Post, and the Sun papers,” said
Michael Cooke, editor of the Toronto
Star, during his acceptance speech.
“It’s the journalism of pursuit, the jour-
nalism of energy. We’re blessed to be
working with this kind of competition. It
keeps us fit, and keeps us honest. But we
need to back our reporters up with good
salaries, and benefits, and legal protec-
tion...and not look so closely at their
expense accounts.”
In the large media category previous
winners have been: the Winnipeg Free
Press, The Canadian Press, The Hamil-
ton Spectator, The Globe and Mail, CBC
News – Ontario, CBC News – Newfound-
land, The Ottawa Citizen, The Kitchener-
Waterloo Record, CTV News, Maclean’s
Magazine, The Toronto Star, and The
Telegraph Journal from New Brunswick.
It was an extra special evening for Tor-
star Corporation, noted John Honderich,
chair of the Torstar Board of Directors,
with both Metroland’s Durham-Nor-
thumberland taking the small media
award and the Toronto Star the large
media award: both are Torstar proper-
ties.
“This is the Stanley Cup of journalism,”
Mr. Honderich told Metroland’s Durham
Region and Northumberland County
journalists at a gathering held Friday at
the Oshawa Golf Club.

FAST FACTS
Acceptance speech
Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-Chief of Metroland’s Dur-
ham Region and Northumberland County division, gave this
speech in accepting the Canadian Journalism Foundation
Excellence in Journalism Award in Toronto
When I think of community journalism, these
are some images that come to mind.
I see Ron Pietroniro capturing an image of
Sultana Frizzle throwing her hammer in Beijing -
- not because she was the best in the world, but
because she was from Perth, Ontario and she’d
made it to the Olympics.
I see justice reporter Jeff Mitchell standing
in a courtroom, without aid of counsel, arguing
against a sweeping publication ban that’s not in the
public’s best interest.
And who among us doesn’t recognize the now
infamous Colonel Russel Williams staring sternly
into the camera; a photo that has run in the Toronto
Star, Maclean’s magazine, on CTV and CBC and
countless other places. That photo was taken by
Bill Tremblay of the Brighton Independent.
Great journalism doesn’t ‘just happen’. It
takes teamwork to turn a good news team into a
great news team.
Let me tell you a quick story about how team-
work helped our newsroom through a difficult time.
Seven years ago we made a decision to be
better the next year than we were that day. Every
goal we set depended not only on individual talent,
but on journalists pooling that talent and working
together. We win as a team, we lose as a team.
Just one year after launching our project, on
a night just like tonight, our team swept Ontario’s
community newspaper awards. We high-five’d each
other as we took the podium, winning 17 awards in
all. It was a great night.
An hour later ... everything changed. Our jour-
nalists watched in helpless horror as Photographer
of the Year Jason Liebregts performed CPR on
Reporter of the Year Stephen Shaw. Stephen was
only 34 years old when he died of heart failure.
The next morning as I sat alone in my office,
I wondered how we would get over such a tragic
loss, and if our staff would ever recover from that
night.
In time we did recover, in fact we got better.
It was teamwork and camaraderie that pulled us
through our darkest hour.
My message to you tonight is this. If you want
to be better tomorrow than you are today, the first
thing you should do is look at your team. You can
throw all the money you want at a problem, but
unless there is teamwork, you will struggle to suc-
ceed.
Tomorrow morning when you walk into your
newsroom I want you to stop -- and listen. If you
hear chatter and laughter and debate and people
sharing stories about what their kids did last night
-- you have the underpinnings of a great team.
If on the other hand, there is only silence, I
want you to ask yourself why, because creativity
and excellence can’t percolate in a vacuum.
On behalf of our team, in our little corner of
Metroland, and on behalf of the thousands of jour-
nalists working at the 1,200 community newspa-
pers across Canada, I thank you for recognizing
that great journalism happens even in the smallest
of newsrooms.
Can sit in but not ask
questions during Ottawa
meeting
DURHAM -- Members of the public will
be allowed to sit in on, but not ask ques-
tions during, an upcoming technical ses-
sion regarding a proposed new nuclear
power plant which may be built on the
site next to the existing Darlington facil-
ity.
The Joint Review Panel, a body mandat-
ed by the federal government to assess
potential environmental effects of the
proposed project, will ask Ontario Power
Generation questions on a number of
topics, including site layout, groundwa-
ter and waste management.
The session will be held in Ottawa, at
the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis-
sion’s public hearing room, at 280 Slat-
er St., on Tuesday, June 22, beginning at
8:30 a.m.
There will be no opportunity for pub-
lic or media questions during the event,
which will be webcast via the CNSC web-
site, at http://www.cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca/
eng/.
The Province had announced land adja-
cent to the existing Darlington nuclear
plant as the preferred site for new reac-
tors and in 2006 instructed OPG to begin
the environmental assessment necessary
before construction can begin.
But then, last June, the Province
announced that while Atomic Energy of
Canada Limited had provided a com-
pliant bid, it was billions of dollars too
high.
Since then, the Province has made no
further announcement about when it
will go ahead with the new project.
But OPG continues its environmental
assessment and site preparation work, to
ensure it is ready to go when such a deci-
sion is made. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 201011

King earns first cap
Pickering resident
plays internationally
for Trinidad and Tobago
PICKERING -- It has been a long journey for
Arin King, but she is starting to experience the
benefits of hard work and dedication.
The Pickering resident, who plays soccer with
the University of Toronto Lady Blues, earned her
first senior women’s international cap in helping
Trinidad and Tobago move on to the next round
of the Women’s Gold Cup.
King, whose mother was born in Trinidad but
moved to Canada at a young age, is eligible to
play for the national team of her mother’s home
country. She began playing nationally with the
U17 program in Trinidad.
The journey began on Jan. 2 when King trav-
elled to her second home for a 10-day train-
ing camp in Trinidad for the U20 CONCACAF
qualifiers being held in Guatemala. To help with
preparations, the U20 team, the Soca Princess-
es, went to Costa Rica for a couple of friendlies,
tying 0-0 and falling 2-1.
“In respect to the transition from Canada to
Trinidad, it was hard to adapt from cold weather
to the blazing hot sun but I can’t complain. Who
doesn’t enjoy nice warm weather, right?,” said
the 19-year-old during an interview with Trini-
dad and Tobago’s media officer. “But I feel I have
made a comfortable transition from the U20’s to
senior. The senior team definitely trains with a
lot more intensity and there is lot more under-
standing for the game so I really had to come to
training prepared.”
It was then off to Guatemala to begin the U20
CONCACAF tournament, where in the first
match against a very tough and experienced
Mexican squad, the Soca Princesses lost 2-1. In
the second match against the USA, the squad lost
4-0. The final match saw the battle of the Carib-
bean as Trinidad beat Jamaica 1-0. King was on
the pitch for every minute of every game.
The national program invited her back to Trin-
idad in March as the senior Princesses were
to go to Puerto Rico to begin the second leg of
the Gold Cup qualifying. However, a change in
scheduling by CONCACAF saw the matches
moved back to late May. King trained with the
squad the month of March and then returned to
Trinidad in late April to again begin training for
the next round.
Trinidad’s senior women’s team has a large
foreign contingent of USA, English, Canadian
players and even one who plays in the Swedish
women’s professional elite league. The director
of Trinidadian women’s football is ex-Canadian
national women’s coach Even Pelerud.
King stepped on the pitch for her first interna-
tional cap when she played the full 90 minutes
at centre back versus St. Lucia as the Princess-
es won 6-1. In the second match versus Barba-
dos, King was moved to striker as the team had
some sickness and injuries. She scored a natu-
ral hat trick, netting goals in the fifth, 11th and
48th minutes. In the 72nd minute, King took a
corner kick which resulted in an own goal as the
ball redirected in off a Barbadian defender. The
squad scored in the 90th minute to defeat Bar-
bados 5-0.
“I was a little surprised that I was asked to play
striker against Barbados because I have always
played on defense for T and T, but I took the
opportunity to prove that I can be a very versa-
tile player,” she said of the change in position.
“There’s really no secret behind my hat trick. I
just happened to be at the right place at the right
time. I would’ve felt happy just to score one goal
for my country.”
The third game was against a very strong and
young Guyanese squad. With Both Trinidad
and Guyana winning their first two games, both
squads earned the right to advance to the next
round of the Gold Cup. Both squads have also
earned a spot to participate in the Caribbean
South American games in Puerto Rico in late
July. Guyana has a large contingent of GTA play-
ers, including four players who play with King
on her Pickering U21 provincial soccer team in
Briana and Kayla Desousa, Nikkita Persuad and
Mariam El-Masri. Trinidad won the game 3-0.
Both teams are looking forward to seeing each
other in the next round of the Gold Cup where
they will be joined by Haiti and Cuba. Three of
the four teams from the next round of competi-
tion will move on to the final round of the Gold
Cup being held in Mexico in late October. Can-
ada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica
have already qualified. The final round of the
Women’s Gold Cup will also double as the CON-
CACAF qualifier for the 2011 Women’s World
Cup to be held in July of 2011 in Germany.
Looking ahead, King has some lofty goals.
“Off the football pitch, I aspire to finish school-
ing and to be able to travel the world. And on the
pitch, like any other footballer, I truly wish and
have the dedication to reach a World Cup with
the national team. That would truly be an expe-
rience of a lifetime.”

FOOTBALL
Godding signs with
Toronto Argonauts
AJAX -- Keith Godding will get an
opportunity to play football close to
home this season.
The wide receiver from Ajax
signed with the Toronto Argonauts
earlier this week after a stellar five-
year football career at Bishop’s Uni-
versity.
Godding attended training camp
with the Montreal Alouettes in 2008
and 2009. He was a member of the
Als’ practice roster for part of the 2008
season before returning to Bishop’s to
complete his final year of CIS eligibil-
ity. The 26 year old actually scored a
touchdown for the Alouettes in a pre-
season game in Winnipeg in 2008.
As a freshman at Bishops in
2004, he started all eight games, fin-
ishing second on the team with 402
yards on 26 catches, and finished in
the same spot on the team the follow-
ing year with 217 yards on 17 catches.
His junior season in 2006 was high-
lighted by catching passes in seven
of eight games and getting an invite
to the annual CIS East-West Bowl.
As a senior, he led the Gaiters with
26 receptions and finished 10th in the
country in receiving yards with 607.
He completed his fifth year of eligibil-
ity in 2008 after serving on the Alou-
ettes practice roster before returning
to school.
Godding is a boy’s basketball
coach in the Durham West Basket-
ball Association. He attended Denis
O’Connor High School in Ajax where
he was a league all-star in basketball
and played football.

MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE
Rock still winless
BRAD KELLY
bkellydurhamregion.com
AJAX -- Jim Veltman had a pro-
ductive weekend on the lacrosse
floor, piloting his team to five wins
in a row.
Unfortunately for fans of the
Ajax-Pickering Rock, the winning
streak came with his son’s peewee
team out of Markham, resulting in
a gold medal championship at a
tournament in Huntsville.
As for the Rock, the Major Series
Lacrosse club is also on a five-game
streak, but it is of the losing variety
after dropping three more over the
course of the weekend.
Still trying to find its way through
the league in its first season, the
Rock lost 10-8 and 11-5 to Bramp-
ton and 13-9 to Six Nations. While
not winning, the team is competi-
tive, and that is something to build
on as the team searches for its first
victory in franchise history.
“That’s what I’ve liked in our
team is our competitive drive. We
don’t stop,” said Veltman. “It seems
like we’ve been falling into a bit of a
hole after the first period and then
we mount a comeback, but we just
don’t have enough.
“It’s not much of a difference
right now.”
Last Thursday in Brampton, the
Rock were down 4-1 to the Excelsi-
ors after the first period, but fought
back for a 10-8 final. At home Friday
to the Six Nations Chiefs, the Rock
were again competitive despite los-
ing each period by scores of 5-3, 4-
3 and 4-3 for a 13-9 loss. Monday in
Brampton, the Rock were down 4-
1 after the first and 9-1 through two
before mounting a bit of a come-
back in the third, only to fall 11-5.
Despite being outscored in all
five games thus far, Veltman has
been impressed with the goaltend-
ing from the tandem of Pat Camp-
bell and Tyler Carlson.
“Pat Campbell is doing what he
does best in providing a lot of ener-
gy and Tyler Carlson, this is his
rookie season,” said the coach. “I
started him in Brampton last week
and a 10-8 score, that’s phenome-
nal for a new goalie to this league
who’s going up against NLL all
stars,” in the likes of Dan Dawson,
Josh Sanderson and Shawn Wil-
liams.
With an 0-5-0 start, things won’t
get any easier no matter who is on
the schedule. The next stretch will
be a busy one beginning Friday
when Peterborough (6-0-0) visits
the Ajax Community Centre at 8
p.m., followed by trips to Brooklin
(2-3-0) on Monday and Six Nations
(4-2-0) on Tuesday.
“A lot of our guys haven’t played
in this league. I don’t know if peo-
ple realize that,” said Veltman of
the learning curve. “Probably half
the guys on the floor this is their
first year or first time at the major
level.
“I think they are learning the
boundaries of how much they can
get away with and how much you
can’t and that’s a learning process
I am willing to live through.”
THE SCOOP -- Jesse Guerin has
held a hot hand of late for Ajax-
Pickering, netting five points
against Brampton last Thurs-
day and equalling that total one
night later against Six Nations. He
leads the team with 4-15-19 totals.
Also in double digits through five
games are Jason Mainer at 6-8-14
and Jonas Derks at 3-8-11. Josh
Sanderson of Brampton leads the
league scoring race with 19-30-49
numbers in nine games. Guerin’s
totals leave him tied for 11th .
U11 team wins
tournament in
Amherst, New York
AJAX -- The U11 Dynamite girls
from the Ajax Soccer Club trav-
eled south across the border for
the first time, competing at the
Amherst International Memorial
soccer tournament in Amherst,
New York.
The Ajax team did not know
what to expect, as it has never
faced American counterparts.
What the girls found when they
arrived were bigger fields, big-
ger nets and bigger players.
Some of the US teams were
also older than the Canadian
team.
There were eight teams in the
U11 age group with all other
teams being from the states of
New York and Pennsylvania. The
tournament was two-tiered with
the Dynamite playing in the top
tier.
The Dynamite started the
tournament off against Amherst
Red Storm. From the start of the
whistle, the Dynamite girls gave
it their all and at the end of the
game it was 11-0 for the Canadi-
an team.
The second game saw the
Dynamite matched with the
North United Hurricanes from
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylva-
nia girls were not as skilled as
the Dynamite team, however,
they were bigger and faster and
the Dynamite girls had a hard
time getting past the Hurricane
defence. With the game tied 0-
0 at half, the North United team
was finally able to gain some
possession and within 15 min-
utes into the second half, the
Dynamite girls were down 2-
0. The Dynamite team rallied,
but was only able to score on
one effort. With the game end-
ing 2-1, the Dynamite hopes of a
championship was minimized.
With the sun beating down on
an early Sunday morning, the
Dynamite girls finished their
third game 3-0 over Spencerport
Tornados from New York. The
win put them into the finals for a
rematch with North United Hur-
ricane.
The Dynamite girls controlled
the majority of the game but
were continuously stopped by
a heroic Hurricane goalie. With
three minutes left in the game,
the Dynamite team capitalized
on a great team effort. The tides
were turned and the Dynamite
held off for the 1-0 win over the
Pennsylvania girls.
With their first American title,
the Ajax Dynamite U11 girls
were crowned AIM 2010 U11
champions.
