Home My WebLink AboutNA2011_02_25 REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It was passionate argu- ments and a packed house on Tuesday as Pickering councillors considered the issue of when lands in northeast Pickering are to be developed. The lands are near Greenwood between concessions 7 and 8, bordered by Ajax to the south and Whitby to the east. The Region of Durham wants the lands designated for urbanization in its official plan update. However, the Province has said slating the land for development is not warranted and refused to sign off on the Region’s official plan. The Region is taking the Province to the Ontario Municipal Board over the issue and Pickering councillors were considering a motion to ask the Region to drop the chal- lenge. Heated debate over north Pickering COUNCIL CHAMBER PACKED WITH MORE THAN 200 RESIDENTS REKA SZEKELY / METROLAND PICKERING -- More than 200 people showed up as Pickering councillors debated the development of lands in northeast Pickering on Feb. 22. At issue was whether Pickering should ask Durham Region to stop appealing a decision from the Province that would prevent develop- ment before 2031. Ultimately, the motion failed.

They responded to a call at 490 Whitevale Rd. just after 7 a.m.on Thursday, Feb. 24 and were still working to suppress the fire shortly before 10 a.m. Deputy Chief Gord Ferguson said the building is a coffee house. The Regency Coffee Company is listed at the address, with a residence in the back. The building was formerly the Whitevale general store. No one was home when the blaze began. “They were doing some renovations in the home at the time of the fire. There was nobody at the home at the time of the fire, they were staying somewhere else,” said Mr. Ferguson. Pickering fire crews were assisted by firefighters from Stouffville and Ajax who shuttled water to the scene. There are no fire hydrants at the site. Mr. Ferguson said that in this case he’ll be calling in the Ontario Fire Marshal to investigate because of the historical nature of the building and the large amount of damage. “Our fire investigator is up at the scene now, they have to wait until they control the fire before they can get in,” he said.

According to Ontar- io Provin- cial Police, an eastbound Humvee was stopped along Hwy. 7 around 7 a.m. on Feb. 24 while waiting to turn left onto a side road near the Westney Road inter- section. Also travelling eastbound at that time was a dump truck, whose driver slammed on the brakes after cresting a knoll in the road and noticing the stopped vehicle, say OPP officials. At that point the dump truck went into a spin and collided with two vehicles in the westbound lanes, a Honda and a pickup truck which each had a male and female inside, said OPP Sergeant Dave Wood- ford. Those four people were initially rushed to local hospitals -- two to Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering hospital, the second pair to Uxbridge Cottage Hospital -- with what was reported as serious and life-threat- ening injuries, noted Sgt. Woodford. It was later determined all four suffered minor injuries, he added. All lanes of Hwy. 7 were closed until the extent of the injuries were determined, said Sgt. Woodford. The highway was later reopened around 9:30 a.m., he said. The dump truck driver could face charges, added the sergeant.

Award winner encourages residents to nominate their neighbours REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Teen volunteer Sigogini Sivarajah says she volunteers because it makes her happy, but it meant a lot to her when she won an Ajax Volunteer Recogni- tion Award last year and she’s encouraging residents to nominate their friends and neighbours who con- tribute to the community. The 17-year-old Pickering High School student won the accessibility community award last year and said she was thrilled to be recognized. “I was speechless. I felt happy but more than that I feel I was encouraged,” she said, adding it was also nice to see how happy her mom was that she won the award. Among the reasons she won the award is her volun- teer work at seniors’ homes and at the Ajax-Pickering hospital’s rehab department, where patients who are recovering from strokes, heart attacks, surgery and various medical conditions are treated. At the hospital, she stocks carts, delivers water to patients, changes beds, pushes patients in wheel- chairs and even got certified to feed patients. “What I’m passionate about is taking the time out of my shift to sit down to chat with them,” said Sigogini. At Pickering High School, she volunteers to have lunch with students with disabilities and said she enjoys the conversations that come up. “When teenagers are immature towards them, it makes them feel like they have a bigger disability than they actually have.” She took her inspiration from her parents, both of whom are dedicated to helping others. Her first vol- unteer gig came in Grade 5 when she was a youth vol- unteer with the Durham Tamil Association, where she represented the organization at community events such as Home Week. Other volunteer work includes organizing dance performances and fashion shows for the Tamil Cul- tural and Academic Society, choreographing a num- ber incorporating various cultural dances for a teen talent show and volunteering at a local church. “Volunteering is basically a part of my life and a part of my day,” she said. When her friends ask her about her extensive vol- unteer work, Sigogini tells them it makes her happy. “I’m an only child at home; I don’t have brothers and sisters and I really like the interaction with other people rather than being at home.” And it has also helped her with a decision on her post-secondary education. Sigogini has decide on a career in health care and she hopes to attend McMas- ter University after graduating high school. She’s grateful to the people who nominated her for a Volunteer Recognition Award and encourages Ajax residents to nominate people they know. Andrew Norris, community development coordi- nator for the Town, agreed that this is a great way to thank residents. “I know most people they volunteer because that’s what they want to do, and they don’t do it for the rec- ognition, but those are the people who deserve the recognition,” he said. The Volunteer Recognition Awards span everything from good neighbour categories for local Good Samaritans to the Ajax Civic Award for one youth and one adult who have devoted their lives to community service. Nomination forms are available online at townofajax.com and they must be returned no later than March 4. “It’s a very important program, you know volunteering is basically the foundation of a community,” said Mr. Norris.

So it is with requisite immunization records for Durham Region high school students who could be barred from attending school if their information isn’t brought up to date with Durham’s public health unit. Health officials work throughout the school year to ensure records are being brought up to date and routinely con- tact parents and families to inform them that current immunization records haven’t been filed with the unit. Suspensions could be ordered if records aren’t provided to health unit officials. In the vast majority of cases, students have likely received the vac- cines required, but haven’t had their records forwarded to the health unit for verification. The minority who might not have been vaccinated and who also face potential suspension could well just shrug their shoulders and welcome an unexpected ‘vacation’, but they also risk infection -- or infecting others -- with a host of maladies that have all but been eradicated through public immu- nization programs. Parents, too, may be unaware that vac- cines administered by a family doctor aren’t forwarded to public health units under provisions of provincial privacy legislation. They are primarily responsi- ble for ensuring that the updated infor- mation is made available so local health unit records are current and accurate. In the interests of public safety, we strongly encourage local families to ensure not only that current informa- tion is provided to the Durham Region public health unit, but that their chil- dren are properly immunized against potentially serious communicable diseases such as diptheria, measles, mumps and rubella, to name a few. In those cases where a vaccine or boost- er has been missed, pay a quick visit to your family doctor, or contact the health unit to discuss options. In a modern world where life expectancies continue to rise, where sophisticated medical expertise is a simple phone call or short visit away, there is no compel- ling reason why youth aren’t vaccinated against communicable disease, except in certain cases where religious beliefs or matters of conscience dictate other- wise. Get your child’s record to the health unit to ensure the most up to date and accurate information is included in the database, or make arrangements to get any necessary vaccinations that might have been missed. We’ll all be safer for the effort. Judging by the packed house at a recent Town of Ajax workshop for businesses, local entrepreneurs are looking to get into social media in a big way. The Town is working with Search Engine People, an Ajax company, on a series of monthly sessions that tackle a number of topics including Facebook, Twitter and search engine optimization, which helps companies pop up prominently when searched on sites like Google. And while it may take just minutes to cre- ate a Facebook fan page for a business, it takes careful thought to ensure that the page is an effective marketing tool. Before even venturing into the world of social media, businesses must decide to devote the time to it. If posts on a Facebook page or Twitter account are sporadic, no one will pay atten- tion. Conversely, frequent and repetitive posting can also be off-putting if it clogs up people’s news feeds. Social media is about interaction, and if you’re looking for a one-way street of simply blasting out info, stick to a traditional web page. One good example I can think of is a local business in Ajax called Once Upon a Child, which sells new and gently used kids’ gear. If you follow them on Twitter (@ouacajax) you’ll see a mix of tweets about sales and promotions, links to relevant parenting arti- cles across the Internet, re-tweets of inter- esting posts from local parents and other businesses and interaction with followers. They’re similarly active on Facebook and count 2,500 fans on their fan page and 1,700 followers on Twitter. That’s great reach for a local business. In addition to being active, for businesses that embark on a social media campaign, it’s absolutely essential to regularly monitor the account. Should a potential customer visit a page and see nothing but unaddressed custom- er complaints, they’ll quickly decide to take their business in another direction. In that case, the Facebook page achieves the oppo- site of what it was intended to do. Clearly, businesses who deal with large numbers of customers are much more likely to draw public complaints than those in the business-to-business realm, but that’s no reason to forsake an online presence. Pub- licly addressing complaints in a quick and thoughtful manner looks great to a potential customer. Ask any restaurateur; they know a prop- erly addressed complaint can create a loyal customer. In fact, even if your business isn’t currently developing a social media presence, it’s well worth the effort to regularly search the com- pany’s name just to see if you’re being talked about. I’m thinking of a particularly vehe- ment Twitter campaign last year against a Durham hair salon where a woman was not satisfied with her extensions. A Google search on the company immediately dis- played that account. Ultimately, it doesn’t take scads of money or high-priced consultants for a small busi- ness to develop an effective social media presence, but it does take time, research and a solid strategy. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space.

NOTICEOF PRE-HEARINGCONFERENCE durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201111 P More than 200 Pickering residents packed council chambers and 17 citizens spoke on the issue, including Green- wood residents who don’t want to see the rural character of their community change and farmers who wanted the City to support the development. Ultimately, the motion to drop the challenge, from Regional councillors Bill McLean and Jennifer O’Connell, failed. The two councillors were joined by Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues in voting for it while local councillors Doug Dickerson, David Pickles, Kevin Ashe and Mayor Dave Ryan opposed it. Coun. McLean said he was disappoint- ed at the loss and vowed this isn’t the end. “I’m sure the community will contin- ue to fight this and I’m sure we’re going to be hearing more from residents,” he said. He was supported in his position by people including Sue McInerney, who lives in north Pickering and spoke pas- sionately about the beauty of nature in the area. “Do we really want to see that lovely little hamlet of Greenwood essential- ly obliterated by development? I don’t,” she said. Ajax councillor Colleen Jordan also spoke at the meeting. She said the north- east Pickering lands sit on the headwa- ters of the Carruthers Creek and devel- opment would cause flooding issues to res- idents downstream in Ajax, pointing out that parts of south Ajax around the Car- ruthers Creek are already designated flood plain. Coun. Jordan said developing the lands would put more homes at risk for flooding and would result in costly remediation efforts paid for through taxes. She said there should be a watershed study done on the area. “I would ask the question why would you not take the (conservation author- ity’s) advice that those studies be done before that land is designated for devel- opment?” Coun. Jordan also responded to accu- sations that Ajax doesn’t want the lands developed because it would hurt the Town’s ability to attract jobs. “Let’s be clear our opposition is not, as some delegation have stated, for the reasons they have given, in other words to protect our own employment lands.” But Coun. Pickles argued that developers must do a series of studies before putting shovels in the ground and appropriate measures would be taken to prevent flooding, pointing to similar plans for the Seaton area. He promised Ajax would be consult- ed. “The two municipalities share the majority of that watershed, the two com- munities have to work together. I think Pickering can learn some of the lessons from Ajax,” said Coun. Pickles, alluding to the flood plain issue in south Ajax. He also pointed out that more than half of Pickering is already designated green- belt and that the lands in question aren’t included, meaning it’s not a question of if the lands will be developed, but when they’ll be developed. Although only two people spoke on behalf of the farmers and land owners in northeast Pickering, it was clear about half the room supported the develop- ment after spokesman Leslie Fisher asked them all to stand up. Donald Beach said farming in the area is no longer viable because services such as machinery sales have moved. “Speak to the farmers themselves, there are a lot of them here, they can’t make a living farming in north Pickering,” he said. He said he supported the Region’s appeal. “It struck me this evening as I heard many people waxing about the pleasures of living in the rural area ... it struck me that this is not really the issue before you tonight, that is an issue to be considered by the OMB when the process is taken to its conclusion.” NORTHEAST from page 1 Do we really want to see that lovely little hamlet of Greenwood essentially obliterated by development? I don’t. Sue McInerney DAVID PICKLES BILL MCLEAN CITY Northeast Pickering development stirs debate DURHAM -- You can learn more about Durham Region’s waste management pro- grams at an upcoming free event. The Region’s works department hosts a Waste Fair on Saturday, March 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Courtice Community Com- plex.

There will be information on exist- ing programs, such as green bin composting, blue box recycling, leaf and yard waste collec- tion, garbage pick-up, disposal of household hazardous waste and electronic and electrical equipment. Information on the new energy- from-waste project will also be provided. The complex is at 2950 Courtice Rd., Cour- tice (north of the Courtice Road and Hwy. 2 intersection). REGION Durham hosting Waste Fair in Courtice on March 5 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201112 AP Eight businesses fined for selling cigarettes to kids DURHAM -- Uxbridge was the only community without a res- taurant cited in the latest round of inspections carried out by the Durham Region Health Depart- ment. At least one eatery in the seven other municipalities was charged with infractions rang- ing from not properly storing food to employees not washing their hands prior to handling food. Fines ranged from $45 per infraction up to $400 for an infraction. One restaurant received a suspended sentence for each of two infractions. The convictions cover the period from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2010. Three restaurants were each fined four times for infractions. Other infractions include employees not wearing a hat while handling food, utensils not being properly cleaned, the floor in the food handling area not being kept clean and, in the case of a Bowmanville restaurant, the operator failed to ensure a room was kept free from animals. The health department enforces the Smoke-Free Ontario Act and eight business- es were charged with selling or supplying tobacco to someone under 19 years of age. The fines ranged from $200 to $1,000 for a Bowmanville gas station. Three pet owners -- two in Oshawa and one in Whitby -- were charged for failing to have their animals immunized against rabies. An Oshawa dog owner was fined $100, while a cat owner was given a suspended sen- tence. A Whitby dog owner was fined $30.

Roadshow experts are in town examining antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1964, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices. Expert buyers for the roadshow have no- ticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewelry with our fair and honest purchase offers. The Roadshow encourages anyone plan- ning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it anyways and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold prrof sets and dental gold. Other types of items Roadshow experts hope to see include old toys and train sets. Ar- chie Davis, the Roadshow’s toy expert, spoke about some of the top toys getting great offers. “Old tin wind-up toys from the late 1800’s through the 1960’s are in great demand right now,” said Davis, “especially those that are character related. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the Flintstones or any other character toys are sought after. Old Buddy L toys from the 1920’s to the 1960’s are especially in high demand.” Basically any toys made before 1965 are want- ed. Train sets made by Lionel, Americn Flyer, Marklin and others have the potential to fetch a large sum. Davis also stressed, “Toys with boxes and in mint condition bring sensational prices. Most of the toys that come to the Roadshow are not in perfect shape, but can still bring good prices from collectors.” When expert Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about working at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency—for as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents’ grocery store, looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1964 are the most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1964 are 90% silver, and valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the Roadshow—from wheat pennies to buffalo nick- els, and from single coins to entire truckloads. See you at the Roadshow.” PAID ADVERTISEMENT COINS Any and all coins made before 1964, all conditions wanted! GOLD & SILVER PRICES AT 40 YEAR HIGH for platinum, gold and silver: broken jewelry, dental gold, old coins, pocket watches, Krugerrands, gold bars, Canadian Maple Leafs, etc. JEWELRY Gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, all types of stones and metals, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. (including broken jewelry) Early costume jewelry wanted.

MILITARY ITEMS & SWORDS Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, etc: swords, badges, clothes, photos, medals, knives, gear, letters. The older the swords, the better. “U.S. & CANADIAN COINS MADE BEFORE 1967 ARE THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS. COINS MADE BEFORE 1967 ARE 90% SILVER, AND VALUABLE BECAUSE OF EITHER THE SILVER CONTENT OR EVEN MORE VALUABLE IF ONE HAPPENS TO BE A RARE DATE.” Above—Roadshow expert, Tony Enright, talks with a family about the gold jewelry that they brought in.

Most people not only relate to this phrase, many will say it was coined speciﬁ cally for them. At some time, all of us can be guilty of putting off the simplest of tasks. Most are harmless, but some can be deadly. A home safety expert with Kidde Canada, the leading smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer in the country, urgent- ly reminds us to never procrastinate those things that can keep our families safe. "All deaths from ﬁ re and carbon monox- ide poisoning are tragic," says Carol Heller of Kidde. "But preventable ﬁ re and CO poi- soning deaths are the saddest and most frus- trating since we have the power to change the outcome by taking just a few simple steps." Heller offers these home safety tips to help protect your family from ﬁ re and CO trag- edy. CO Prevention: • Install one CSA–approved CO alarm on each level of your home and outside sleep- ing areas. • Test all CO alarms monthly and replace them every ﬁ ve to seven years. • Change the batteries at least once per year. • Have a licensed inspector check heating systems and other fuel–burning appliances annually, including ﬁ replaces. • Keep clear all exhaust ﬂ ues or ducts used by water heaters, ranges and clothes dryers (snow, ice, leaves, garbage etc). Home Sweet HomeADVERTISING FEATURE Don’t delay…these two simple tasks will keep your family safe Fire Prevention: • Install one cUL–approved smoke alarm on every level of your home and outside or in sleeping areas (if you sleep with your door closed). • Test all smoke alarms monthly and re- place them every 10 years, whether battery operated or hard–wired. • Change batteries at least once per year. • Prepare a ﬁ re escape plan with your fam- ily and practise it, ensuring you identify two exits from every room if possible. Consider buying a two–storey safety ladder to ensure there is a second escape route via a win- dow. REMEMBER: Escape is always your ﬁ rst priority.

Tim McTiernan, the third president of the university, will take the reins from Ron- ald Bordessa on July 1. Dr. McTiernan said UOIT is a place that can prepare students for the work world. “I think UOIT is a fantastic institution that has grown hugely since it first started up a short number of years ago and it has a terrific combination of great programs and great university education for the students tied to career oriented activities and hope- fully career opportunities,” said Dr. McTi- ernan, a former president of Canadore College in North Bay, Dr. McTiernan comes to the university after years of work in academic and government roles, including serving as a deputy minister in the Yukon government and as an assistant deputy minister and chief operating officer at the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innova- tion. He is currently a senior administrator at the Uni- versity of Toronto. He said he hopes to be able to work with staff, faculty and students to build on the tremendous base already been put in place at one of Ontario’s newest post-sec- ondary institutions. Dr. McTiernan said his predecessor has been a terrific president and has done some amazing work at the uni- versity throughout his term. “My immediate goal is to work closely with Ron (Bordessa) and closely with the board and the univer- sity community and transition so that when I’m on the job day one I have a good grasp and a good understanding of the issues, the opportunities and some early initiatives that we can implement or continue to pursue ... with a focus on thickening and enriching our community and industry partnerships,” he said. The board was very impressed with the cali- bre of applications it received for the posi- tion, board chairman Peter Williams said in a news release. “Dr. McTiernan is an ideal fit for UOIT because he deeply understands the tre- mendous opportunities of our students, staff and fac- ulty and is strongly committed to our unique academic mandate and research excellence,” he said.

Jet is a manufacturer of high- performance thermoset molding compounds used in a variety of markets, including electrical, automotive, military, and heavy equipment. “We are aggressively expanding our presence in the high-performance products market,” said Tom Flood, IDI vice president and general manager. “This acquisi- tion will speed that process and will enhance our grow- ing global customer base.” The acquisition makes IDI Composites the largest supplier of high-performance thermoset molding com- pounds in the world. BUSINESS Ajax company bought by U.S. firm durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201121 AP Officer used ‘prudent’ force, lawyer argues JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- A hard-nosed Durham cop was employing ‘prudent’ tactical communication skills when he told a belligerent drunk he was in danger of getting his teeth knocked out, a lawyer argued as the officer’s conviction for assault was appealed Wednesday. Constable Glen Turpin’s trial was adversely affected by a judge’s interpretation of the utter- ance, which was caught on closed-circuit cameras at the Whitby police station, lawyer Frank Addario told a panel of Court of Appeal justices. Mr. Addario argued Superior Court Justice Myrna Lack interpreted Const. Turpin’s statement as a threat toward an agitated prisoner. And he said the judge didn’t give enough weight to expert testimony about proper han- dling of potentially violent prisoners. “His actions ... were pru- dent,” Mr. Addario said of the officer, who has expertise in use of force. “I’ll concede right now Const. Turpin comes across as a no-nonsense, old-school officer,” the lawyer said. In 2009, Justice Lack convicted Const. Turpin of assaulting and threatening Martin Egan, who had been picked up for causing a disturbance at a Whitby bar in March of 2006. Justice Lack ruled the veteran cop had used excessive force against Mr. Egan, who sustained a gash on his forehead when he was “grounded” in a holding cell at the Whitby station. The judge found Const. Turpin, 42, failed to pass the credibility test when he testified on his own behalf. A key factor in that finding was the state- ment the officer made to the inebriated Mr. Egan, who was verbally abusive and uncooperative. Const. Turpin testified he tried to subdue the prisoner by warning him: “If you don’t knock it off, I’m gonna knock your teeth right through the back of your head, do you understand me?” That statement wasn’t challenged during the trial. But Mr. Addario said the judge independent- ly reviewed the tape and concluded Const. Turpin had said, “When I get you off camera, I’m gonna knock your teeth through the back of your head.” The apparent discrepancy led the judge to doubt Const. Turpin’s credibility, Mr. Addario said. And because the finding was made after the trial had concluded, the officer wasn’t given a chance to respond, he argued. Crown counsel Alex Hrybinsky said the finding about the threat wasn’t the sole factor in determin- ing Const. Turpin’s credibility. And he asserted the judge quite properly reviewed the videotape as she weighed evidence she’d heard at trial. “She indicates (in the verdict) she’s listened to it COURTS Durham cop appeals assault conviction over and over, and this is what she hears,” Mr. Hrybinski said. “In my submission, this is what the (judge) is sup- posed to be doing.” The justices reserved decision on the appeal. If the conviction stands Const. Turpin faces charges under the Police Services Act, which could jeopardize his career. In December of 2009, a jury acquitted the officer of assaulting a prisoner in 2007. CONST. GLEN TURPIN I’ll concede right now Const. Turpin comes across as a no-nonsense, old-school officer.

The Durham District School Board is launching an online school locator so people who are moving and real estate agents will be able to type in an address and see what school boundary it is in. Right now access to the tool is limited to board administration, principals and secretaries. The tool will be available on the board’s website in the spring, according to a staff report. It’s a question some trustees say they are often asked by families anticipating a move. “I get this question a lot as a trustee,” Oshawa trustee Kathleen Hopper said, adding that she hoped the tool would be displayed prominently on the board’s website once it was up and running. Brock trustee Joe Allin agreed and said besides questions about busing, school boundary questions are the second most popular topic constituents approach him about. Staff are always available to assist with questions during the week, but this tool will allow people to find the information they are looking for in the evenings and on weekends, superintendent David Vis- ser said. When new streets are built or school boundaries are changed system adjust- ments will be made in a timely fashion, the report said. If an address is located on or close to a boundary line a warning clause will be provided and the user will be instruct- ed to call the school board’s planning department for clarification, the report said.

This year’s event is March 11. See below for more information. Pickering native has a new CD out IZABELA JAROSZYNSKI newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Andrea Lewis was just a tod- dler when her mother made a decision that changed her life. “We were at a mall, I was about two years old, when a casting director approached her about me,” Lewis says. Understandably, her mother was hesitant at first, but gradually came around to the idea and gave the casting director a call. The rest, as they say, is show biz history. From her five seasons as reliable Hazel Aden on Degrassi: The Next Generation to her many movie roles, the Pickering native has some impressive credentials behind her. Even before celebrating her sweet 16th birthday, Lewis had already acted alongside Hollywood heavyweights such as Diahann Carroll in The Natalie Cole Story and Wes- ley Snipes in Down in the Delta. One of her highlights was working under the direction of iconic poet Maya Angelou -- an honour that made her grandmother very proud. Despite her many accomplishments as a child and teen actor, Lewis had a surprisingly normal upbringing. “It helped a lot that my mom was so easy going,” she says. “Not a stage mom at all.” Lewis compares the time she spent acting to what other kids would spend in extracur- ricular activities, such as swimming. “It was just something I really enjoyed doing,” she says, adding that she always attended school and had a tutor only when she was on a movie set. Lewis admits that the long hours and chal- lenges encountered in show business made an impact on her. “Child acting teaches you a lot about who you are from an early age,” she says. She began working on Degrassi in 2002 after wrapping up a Disney movie alongside Hilary Duff. She soon became known around the world for her portrayal of Hazel, a young Muslim girl who immigrated to Canada from Somalia. More than one million viewers in Canada and the United States tuned in each week to watch the episodes -- giving Lewis exposure in a very demanding market. It was this role -- and the five years spent working on a regular set -- that gave Lewis the confidence to continue her acting career. After Degrassi, she went on to another lead- ing role in Moccasin Flats III as Melissa and starred in the Nickelodeon comedy Spectac- ular as Robin. But despite her natural talent and many accomplishments in the field, acting is only one of Lewis’s many passions. At the age of 13, she began writing her own songs and in 2005 she released her first album, Float Away. If she credits her moth- er for giving her a start in her acting career, it was definitely her father who influenced her musically. “My dad’s a huge music fan,” Lewis says. She remembers listening to Motown and was instilled with respect for artists who are involved with their music. Lewis’ latest album, 5-4-3-2-1, was released in October 2010 and features songs she wrote about her life. Her sultry voice gives a unique twist to the R and B vibe of the album, which she released for free on her website, www. thosegirlsarewild.com. She plans to spend the next few months touring the United Kingdom promoting her album and performing live -- something she just loves to do. When asked where her heart truly lies -- in music or in acting -- she just laughs. “I get asked that question all the time,” Lewis exclaims. “‘If you had to chose one, which would it be?’ But it’s so hard to choose. I guess I would consider myself an entertain- er.” While acting allows her to pretend to be dif- ferent people, singing means baring her own soul, she says. “With singing, I am giving you my actual self -- who I am.” Izabela Jaroszynski is a freelance writer.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201124 AP EVERY THURSDAY IN MARCH • 5:00PM - 9:00PM Port Perry, ON www.greatblueheroncasino.com For Rapid Rewards Players Club members only.

Clarke OSHAWA -- The Pickering Trojans are going back to the Quad-A senior boys’ provincial basketball champion- ships. The Trojans pulled off the upset over the highly-touted J. Clarke Rich- ardson Storm on Thursday night, tak- ing the lead in the second quarter and remaining ahead through the remainder of the game, posting an 83-72 victory in front of a packed gymnasium at the UOIT Campus Wellness and Recre- ation Centre in Oshawa. J. Clarke entered the final as the second ranked team in the GTA accord- ing to www.hooptowngta.com, while Pickering is rated ninth. J. Clarke actually led 17-16 at the end of the opening quarter, but after that, it was all Pickering, who built leads of 34-28 at the half and 57-45 by the end of the third quarter. Pickering led by as many as 17 at one point in the third quarter, with J. Clarke making a late run from the foul line in the fourth quarter, whittling the margin down to eight. But that’s as close as they would get. Damion Rashford led Pickering with 23 points, while Tyrelle Samuels matched that total for J. Clarke. OFSAA is in London March 7-9.

Up 1-0 in the best-of-three series, Pickering now has a chance to close things out in Game 2 Friday at the Ajax Community Centre, rink three, at 2:30 p.m. Elsewhere, after knocking off Anderson in the first round, the Dwyer Saints continue to roll. They captured the first game of the second-round set with the Ajax Rams earlier this week 2-1. Game 2 of the series is also Friday afternoon at the Ajax Community Cen- tre, but on rink four at 2 p.m. Though not yet scheduled, if Game 3 is needed in either series, it’s likely that those games would be played on Monday. TENNIS Thrill of a lifetime for Ochotta Pickering teen gets to hit with Novak Djokovic at Australian Open BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Andrew Ochotta has come a long way from the days when he was down in his basement hitting tennis balls against a door. How about standing on a court, in front of 300 people, hitting with Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open? That was the biggest memory the 17 year old from Pickering took away from his expe- rience at the Australian Open. Oh, he played, in both singles and doubles, but it doesn’t get any better than hitting with the eventual champion of the tournament in men’s sin- gles. It was the day before Djokovic was to play Roger Federer in the semifinals when Ochot- ta happened across his entourage. “Djokovic was playing soccer with his coach and his brother and the hitting partner wasn’t there and I was there with my racquet and credentials to those courts,” says Ochotta setting the scene. “I asked the coach and he said, ‘Come play’.” The hitting session lasted for one hour in front of 300 people. “At first I was a little bit nervous,” he admits. “But it went away pretty quickly. I walked on the court and they start cheering for Djok- ovic. There was a lot of noise. “He comes up to me and says, ‘Hi, I’m Novak. Thanks for hitting’.” Djokovic beat Federer in the semis the next day, and won the tournament in straight sets over Andy Murray. Ochotta’s dad, Dave, is a tennis coach who got his son started in the sport at a very early age. “I started very young because my dad is a tennis coach. I was born into the sport,” says Ochotta, who trains at the Pickering Tennis Academy. He advanced from hitting in the basement to his first tournament at the age of eight, where he won the singles title. By the age of 10, he was taking the sport seriously. It’s to the point that after attending Pickering High School for Grade 9, he now takes courses online to accommodate his hectic tennis schedule. Along the way, he has won a provincial title, reached the final in nationals, and represent- ed Canada at the world junior champion- ships in the Czech Republic in the U14 junior division, where a team of three finished in the top 15 in the world. He is currently ranked in the top 200 in the world in the junior U18 division. At the Aus- tralian Open, he won a singles match against an Australian, then was eliminated in the next round by a Spaniard. In doubles, he was paired with a Slovenian, losing their first match to the third-seeded team from Austra- lia. All in all, for his first Grand Slam, he was pretty pleased. “It was a great experience,” he said. “I liked it a lot. It’s great to be next to the pros and with them in the same venues. “It was a great tournament and I really liked being there.” Ochotta has designs on playing at Wimble- don and the U.S. and French Opens this year.

HOCKEY Daniels nets top goaltending award Pickering native named MVP in Ontario West university hockey WATERLOO -- Not only does Ryan Dan- iels get top marks for assembling a superb season, he scores big points for mounting a significant hockey comeback. The Pickering native and former Peterbor- ough Pete was an unsigned NHL draft pick by the Ottawa Senators two years ago. The second-year Laurier business major roared back this season with an Ontario West Most Valuable Player prize and the conference’s goaltender of the year award. Daniels, who played in each of Laurier’s 28 regular-season games this season, post- ed a stellar .929 save percentage, second best in the country. He also led the rebuilding Hawks to a sur- prising second-place finish, eliminating UOIT in the opening round of playoffs. “Goalies are only as good as the team in front of them and I’m just fortunate to benefit from the strong play of our team,” explained Daniels, who leads the Hawks into a second-round series against the Guelph Gryphons. Daniels said his season has revived his dreams of playing pro. “Being recognized and having some awards to your name is obviously a good thing. But I’m just focused on Laurier and the playoffs (right now).” with files from Kitchener-Waterloo Record RICK KOZA / TORSTAR NEWS SERVICES WATERLOO -- Pickering’s Ryan Daniels played for Laurier this season. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201126 AP Sat.

The club that serves players in Ajax, Pickering and West Rouge is embarking on its 10th season, and the first celebration the club will be hosting is a registration. The Ajax Community Centre will be the host on Saturday and Sun- day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Lynn Swindells, who has been with the club since day one, serves as the club’s registrar, and is quite proud of how far the club has come since those early days. The first sea- son had 300 players registered, with that number climbing to about 450 last season. “We have grown over the years,” she says. “We wavered a bit, all clubs have actually with enrolment. Our teams are improving, the cali- bre of players are a bit better that we’re getting.” As a testament to the quality of players passing through the organi- zation, three graduates were select- ed in the junior A draft recent- ly, with John St. John and Kenzie Smith picked by Mississauga, and Tyler Roche going to St. Catha- rines. The peewee and bantam box lacrosse teams enjoyed a success- ful 2010 season by winning the Zone 6 C championship. The nov- ice and peewees came home with silver from the provincial cham- pionships. The midget box team competed at the Ontario Summer Games in the A division, finishing fourth in the province. The house league program was strong, with 26 teams from paper- weight to midget. In addition to the rep teams at the box level, West Durham also played at the provin- cial level in field lacrosse. With 2011 serving as the 10th anniversary, the club has a few things planned to help celebrate the occasion. “We’ve done a special jersey for this year and we have a new 10th anniversary logo for this year,” said Swindells, adding the rep teams will be wearing new jerseys, while the logo will be on all the house league jerseys. This weekend’s registration will be the last chance to sign up at the 2010 rate, with fees for 2011 going into effect immediately after.

HOCKEY West Durham Lightning win International Silver Stick AJAX -- The Durham West Light- ning Intermediate A team brought home the International Silver Stick championship following four nail- biting games. The team opened with a 3-3 tie against Kitchener Lady Rang- ers, followed by a 3-2 win over the Aurora Panthers, and a 2-1 victory over the Waterloo Ravens. In an action-packed final against Aurora, the Lightning opened the scoring in the first period with a power-play goal by Emily Nich- olls. Aurora stormed back to tie the game late in the first period. Early in the third period, the Lightning scored two goals, one each by Kirsten MacDonald and Caitlyn Nat, to take a 3-1 lead. Auro- ra scored late in the third period to close the gap, but the Lightning held on to seal the championship. Coach Leo Nat said, “I am so proud of these young ladies who have worked so hard all year, jug- gling university, college and work just to have an opportunity to con- tinue playing hockey at a high com- petitive level.” Team members include Caitlyn Nat, Emily Nicholls, Layne Farrell, Jennifer Masterson, Jennifer Con- very, Jennifer D’Alessandro, Laura Suppa, Amber Blake, Carley Dug- gan, Madison Reeves, Cati Taylor, Katy Stephen, Kirsten MacDonald, Kim Roche, Melissa Nicholls, (head coach) Leo Nat, (assistant coach) Dan Duggan, (trainer) Laurie Roche and (manager) Scott Nich- olls.

During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. “I have been advertising for 15 years,” says Tom Susac, owner of Sports Station in Oshawa. “I have people tell me not to worry about giving them my number, because they see me in the paper every week.” The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. “The editorials are very powerful and are able to explain things better than you can in an ad,” says Tom. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. The Focus on Business advertising feature is great investment for businesses. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. “I figure that I spend about $5,000 annually on advertising in Focus on Business, and it definitely brings that back tenfold,” says Tom. Spaces are currently available in all five zones. Call today to book your space! For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • February 25, 201130 P Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

FAST, ACCURATE, FRIENDLY “TM owned by JTH Tax, Inc., used under license” COLUMN Annandale curlers representing Ontario at Canada Games Return trip for coach Jennifer McGhee JIM EASSON The Annandale team of Ben Bevan, Cart- er Adair, Jake McGhee and Corey Gaud- ette, with Jennifer McGhee coaching, is in Halifax, Nova Scotia as Team Ontario for the Canada Winter Games from Feb. 11 to 27. Jennifer participated in the 1987 Cana- da Winter Games in Sydney, Nova Scotia, as the skip for Team Ontario, and thus is a good fit for the team which includes her son Jake. The next bonspiel on the Annandale Curling Club calendar is the 46th Annu- al St. Pat’s Mixed Competitive Spiel. It is slated to run Saturday, March 12, and offers three six-end games, snacks, lunch, light fare and cash prizes. There is still room for more entries. Annandale’s bantam boys’ Corey Gau- dette rink with Nathan Scott at lead, Alex Wagner at second and Joe Flett at vice, with coach Chuck Gaudette, won the regional playdown Jan. 22-23 at the Peterborough Curling Club. The team now advances to the provincial finals slated in Tweed March 2-5. The OCA junior mixed Zone 6 playdown at the Oshawa Curling Club Feb. 12-13 included an Annandale team skipped by James McPherson with Robin Murphy, Robert Currie and Yvonne Lalonde. They won the B side of the six-team draw, and now advance to the York Curling Club regionals March 12-13. Annandale hosted the Zone 6 playdown for the Tim Hortons Colts and Ladies Trophy on the weekend of Feb. 19. The competition is basically for those curl- ers who have not won anything major. There were no Annandale entries, and in the nine-team men’s, Jeff Clark of West Northumberland won the A side. In the three-team trophy, Lianne Robertson of Tam Heather came out on top. Both will advance to Peterborough March 5 for the regional. Team Glenn Howard won its sixth straight Ontario title in Grimsby at the 2011 Ontario curling championship Dominion Tankard Feb. 13. The Ontario champions team consists of Glenn How- ard with Pickering resident Richard Hart at vice, and Brent Laing and Craig Savill playing front end.
