PICKERING -- It looks like West Shore resi-
dents may finally get some sleep.
Residents living on Marinet Crescent, which
backs onto Bayly Street, have been fighting the
City of Pickering, the Region of Durham and
the Province of Ontario for decades to have
sound barriers installed to muffle the ever
increasing noise from Hwy. 401 and Bayly
Street traffic and GO Transit trains.
“We just don’t go out in the backyard,” said
Marinet resident Jim McLean.
The City’s executive committee approved
funding in the 2011 budget on March 10 to
show the Province the sound barrier issue is
an important priority.
The City has set aside $100,000, which is 10
per cent of the total project cost.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer
O’Connell was happy council got on board.

sound barrier built to shield them from the noise. Pickering has earmarked $100,000 in the 2011 budget for the sound barrier project.

PICKERING -- Three men wanted for assaulting a taxi
driver after failing to pay for a long-distance ride have
surrendered to police.
The men, all in their 20s, gave themselves up at the
police station in Pickering Monday, Durham police said.
The move came after pictures of the suspects were dis-
tributed to the media March 3.
Police said three men took a taxi from Toronto’s enter-
tainment district to Pickering at about 3 a.m. Feb. 19 and
upon their arrival, bolted from the car without paying
the fare. When the driver pursued the young men he was
assaulted, police said.
Charged with assault, assault with a weapon, posses-
sion of a dangerous weapon and transportation fraud are
Brandon Monaghan, 23, of Southview Drive, Pickering,
Brandon Shreeve, 24, of Agate Road in Ajax and Nicholas
Cuccovillo, 23, of Rotherglen Road North in Ajax.

KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- After being heavily criticized by Durham
politicians and residents, the provincial government has
relented and is now planning to build Hwy. 407 all the
way to Hwy. 35/115.
In an announcement in Kirby (near Orono) on Thurs-
day afternoon, Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne
said the 407 would be extended in two stages -- the first
to Harmony Road by 2015 and then to 35/115 by 2020.
“We’ve heard many, many concerns,” said Ms. Wynne.
“The feeling is the first stage should go further than Sim-
coe. We’ve heard that and it will now go to Harmony.”
In June, the Province announced the 407 would be
extended from Brock Road in Pickering to Simcoe Street
in Oshawa. No date had been set for extending it beyond
Simcoe. Durham Region officials and local politicians
severely criticized that decision. It would cost the Region
about $255 million to upgrade roads around Simcoe,
while Oshawa’s cost would be about $75 million.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson is pleased with
the announcement. “Is it all the way to 35/115? No. Are
we going to have a contract and signed commitment to
get there? Yes,” Mr. Anderson said in an interview. “Is it
moved beyond Simcoe? Yes. Now we know it’s going to
be done.”
Ms. Wynne said the government has always commit-
ted to building the extension all the way to 35/115, but noted the
economic downturn impacted its ability.
“The idea was to extend it to Simcoe and then to 35/115,” she
said, adding the first stage should be done by 2015.
“We’re confirming the second stage to 35/115 by 2019 or 2020,”
she added.
“We’re doing this because we’ve heard the concerns of the
community,” Ms. Wynne noted. “There were a lot of concerns
about the small communities around Simcoe. We’ve heard
those.”
Oshawa Mayor John Henry is pleased the highway won’t be
stopping at Simcoe Street. “The community and our neighbour-
hoods won,” he said.
“They’re committed to a date of completion,” Mayor Henry
added. “The next step is to get everything signed and hon-
oured.”
Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster said he was grateful for the
clarity and timeline now being given by the Province.
The municipality would have preferred the original timeline
of building the highway by 2013 but is still pleased by the recent
announcement, he said.
“I’m a whole lot happier today than I was yesterday. But
I’m not ecstatic. Ecstatic would have been 2013, but that
would have been unrealistic,” said Mayor Foster. “We are cer-
tainly thankful. I know how difficult this was for the Province.
We can’t criticize good and well-intentioned decisions.”

DURHAM -- The face of Durham is changing, so the
Region now has a plan to incorporate that change.
On Friday, the Diversity and Immigration Communi-
ty Plan was released, and it outlines steps Durham can
take to be more inclusive.
Speaking to the approximately 200 people at the
launch, held at the Ajax Convention Centre, Brock
Mayor Larry O’Connor spoke of growing up Metis.
“That was diversity when I was in school.”
Audrey Andrews, the manager of the diversity and
immigration program for the Region, said in an inter-
view the benefit of the plan is “all citizens will have the
opportunity to be equal.”
Work on the plan began about 18 months ago, when
Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced it
would provide funds for communities looking to devel-
op a plan.
Dr. Hugh Drouin, social services commissioner for
Durham, the Community Development Council of
Durham and the Durham Region Local Training Board
applied to do the work.
“That’s the plan we are celebrating today,” Dr. Drouin
said. “Local wisdom informed local planning.
“The plan has a focus on newcomers,” he added.
Mayor O’Connor, the chairman of Regional council’s
health and social services committee, said it a “well-
crafted plan. You’ll find we covered off an awful lot in
there.”
Martyn Beckett, director of education with the Dur-
ham District School Board, said, “We got to today’s
launch because people in the community are willing to
talk.”
The plan will serve as a framework and provide direc-
tion to the community. Objectives include creating a
culture of inclusion, enhancing Durham’s settlement
capacity, improving labour markets for newcomers
and attracting and retaining skilled immigrants.
The 2006 Canadian census found that 21 per cent
of Durham’s population, or about 118,000 people, are
immigrants.
The report noted the Region is changing and the plan
“is one of the many good first steps towards framing
that change.”
Each of the four areas is divided into goals and activi-
ties that could achieve the goals.
One of the goals in enhancing Durham’s settlement
capacity is “all new and existing residents will settle and
integrate successfully in to the Durham community.”
The other goal in enhancing settlement capacity is to
develop a “Durham-specific plan” that will “meet the
unique needs of Durham residents.”
An example of increased service is a Welcome Centre
in Ajax that will provide “one-stop shopping” for new-
comers looking to settle in Durham, Ms. Andrews said.
A hope is to decrease barriers to internationally
trained professionals who have come to Canada, she
noted.
“There’s already excellent service. We’re only putting
it together under one umbrella,” Ms. Andrews said.

No new officers
in the department’s
budget
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Policing is going to
cost taxpayers almost $154 million
in 2011.
That’s a 5.29-per cent increase
over the Durham Regional Police
Services budget of $146 million
last year. No new officers are being
hired this year.
The budget was approved by the
Region’s finance and administra-
tion committee on Tuesday and it
will be forwarded to Regional coun-
cil on March 9 for consideration.
Regional Chairman Roger Ander-
son, also chairman of the Police
Services Board, said the depart-
ment’s budget is “status quo.”
The police service has about 870
police officers and 367 civilian staff.
In an interview, Chief Mike Ewles
said, “We’ll still cover off staff that
leave through attrition.”
Staff now stationed at the
Pickering and Darlington nuclear
stations will come back to the force
as Ontario Power Generation builds
up its security department, he said.
“I only ask for them (new staff)
when I need them,” the chief
added.
Deputy Chief Scott Burns noted
the department is preparing for a
new “shift schedule,” set to start in
January 2012. “It’s a big change for
us,” Deputy Chief Burns said. “It
will take resources for that to hap-
pen. There will be more officers on
the street when we need them, like
during peak times.”
Chief Ewles said, “We’ll have the
same number of staff working dif-
ferent hours.”
The police association has filed a
grievance about the planned shift
changes, Deputy Chief Burns said.
The new shift schedule will
require more supervisory person-
nel, facilities and 22 new marked
cars, he noted.
Under Chief Ewles, “Our focus
has been on infrastructure and not
staff,” the deputy chief said.
Infrastructure the department is
planning includes new facilities, a
common communication platform
(radio system) that will allow the
police and other agencies, such as
OPG security staff, “to talk to each
other.”
A ground-breaking ceremony
for an operations training facility
in Whitby will be held in April and
the site will open at the end of 2012,
Deputy Chief Burns said. It will
include a firearms training facility
and the 911 operations centre.
A new police station in Claring-
ton is scheduled for 2014 and it
would include a forensics building,
he said. “Our debt will be an issue
going forward,” he noted.
The Durham force placed sec-
ond among Canadian municipali-
ties of more than 100,000 in a rank-
ing of ‘weighted clearance rate’, or
the percentage of crimes solved, at
47.6 per cent, said the deputy chief.
Kingston was first at 47.8.
While crime rates have been
dropping across the country, pri-
marily as the population ages, chal-
lenges in the future include adults
who go missing, he said.
From 2008 to 2009, the number
increased 11 per cent.
The complexity of the work has
also gone up, he noted.
REGION
Durham to spend $154 million for police in 2011
Ah, keyboard warrior, fearsome online
gladiator who can strike fear into the hearts
of Internet denizens with the tap of a key,
just what are we going to do with you?
I’m talking about those anonymous com-
menters on websites, forums and blogs who
always have something nasty to say. For
some reason the filters that apply in regular
society seem to just disappear when people
go online.
Go to any major newspaper, such as the
Toronto Star, and you’ll see a cesspit of
ignorant comments. While I’m sure the
most egregious get deleted, there’s enough
on there to make one wonder if we’ve lost
all ability to have a civil conversation.
In fact, I know of a number of bloggers,
such as feminist Kate Harding of Shape-
ly Prose, who simply closed their popular
blogs under the weight of the onerous task
of moderating comments. Many of the ter-
rible comments were never posted on the
site, but they still had to be read by someone
before they were deleted. The job of con-
stantly filtering comments is exhausting.
In her explanation of why she closed her
blog, Kate writes: “I have basically lost my
stomach for making any argument more
inflammatory than ‘Personally -- and I am in
no way saying you should agree with me -- I
enjoy sunshine and puppy dogs and rain-
bows.’ Except we all know even
that will lead to 300 impassioned comments
about melanoma, drought, puppy mills,
dog fighting, (the Defence of Marriage Act)
and (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell), most of which
I will actually agree with and be appropri-
ately incensed by, but all of which I will find
exhausting because the point of writing
about sunshine and puppy dogs and rain-
bows was to AVOID DOING THAT JUST F---
ING ONCE.”
Now major news sites employ profession-
als to do what Kate and her moderators did
as volunteers, but even sites like the New
York Times can have trouble keeping up
with the volume of comments popular sto-
ries receive.
It does help to have a clearly outlined set
of rules for commenting. Oshawa Council-
lor Amy England recently posted just such
a set of guidelines on her public Facebook
profile where she insisted that people who
post on her page stick to debating ideas and
never personally attack each other.
“It is important that we respect those
around us and their right to peaceful and
informative debate on Facebook,” she
wrote.
In fact, a recent trend for news sites is the
use of a Facebook plug-in in the comments
section, as the Toronto Sun does, which
links comments with Facebook profiles.
Now, in addition to promoting the news site
through Facebook, one of the benefits is that
people use their real names in comments.
As most of us are aware, online postings
under our real names turn up on Google
when someone searches us and that serves
to rein many of us in.
But unless ‘George Orwell’ is back from
the grave just to share his love of Toronto
Mayor Rob Ford, it’s clear that anonymous
comments are still a possibility and site
moderators will still have to slay the odd
keyboard warrior.

What to do with those angry, hostile keyboard warriors?
It’s not over until it’s
over to Hwy. 115/35
Sustained political pressure and a
vulnerable provincial government that
faces a looming election, it seems, pro-
vide the perfect ingredients for some-
thing half-baked.
What else can Durham Region con-
clude from the partial about-face by
Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals to slightly
extend the Hwy. 407 further east than
the much-maligned terminus at Simcoe
Street in Oshawa and instead build out
to Harmony Road by 2015.
Local MPPs, municipal and regional
representatives turned out in the Clar-
ington community of Kirby Thursday
afternoon to make the announcement,
providing a measure of relief to area
municipalities and Durham Region, all
of which have been advocating aggres-
sively for the past year to have the Prov-
ince live up to its original 407 agreement
and build out to Hwy. 115/35.
Given the bulging provincial deficit of
more than $18 billion, this is quite like-
ly the best deal Durham will get at this
time. And while the new proposal to
build the first phase past Simcoe Street
to Harmony Road, along with a prom-
ise to extend the link all the way to Hwy.
115/35 by 2020, is an improvement on
the planned Simcoe Street terminus, it
still represents a broken promise.
In that context, the fight cannot be
declared over for Durham Region and
municipal politicians. Regardless of
which government assumes power in
October, the deep deficit will remain
and shape for the next several years
Ontario’s fiscal policy. Pressure applied
by the likes of Durham Regional Chair-
man Roger Anderson and Oshawa
Mayor John Henry has resulted in this
early victory, but we strongly encourage
them to prepare for the next phase and
ensure that the government of the day is
cognizant of the need to bring the high-
way all the way to Hwy. 115/35.
It’s difficult to overstate the impor-
tance of Hwy. 407 to Durham Region, its
member municipalities and its citizens.
It will provide relief to weary motorists
stuck on Hwy. 401 in the morning and
afternoon rush; it will more efficiently
and inexpensively move goods and peo-
ple to and from Durham communities;
and it will provide the impetus for com-
mercial and residential growth in areas
of proximity to the highway extension.
This move by the Province is certain-
ly welcome, but still falls short. Durham
officials must keep up the pressure, seek
strategic opportunities to make their
case with provincial officials, and keep
Hwy. 407 on the government’s radar.
To adapt an old saying, it’s not over
until it’s over to Hwy. 115/35.

We are currently looking for Prospects to deliver to the following areas: AJAX -- As long as Ajax residents are setting
their clocks forward this weekend, they might
as well replace the batteries in their smoke
alarms, says the Ajax fire department.
Fire departments have long advocated
changing batteries every six months with
changing clocks and this spring clocks are set
to go forward by an hour on March 13.
“Despite improving building codes, alarms
and public awareness, fires take the lives
of hundreds of people across our province
every year,” said Ajax fire prevention inspec-
tor Kevin Vaughan. “The sad truth is that too
often, way too often, a smoke alarm probably
could have prevented many of those deaths.”
The fire department is reminding residents
that Ontario homes are required to have a
working smoke alarm on every floor and out-
side sleeping areas. Smoke alarms should
also be cleaned every six months by open-
ing the cover and gently vacuuming the inte-
rior of the device without the vacuum noz-
zle touching the unit. They should also be
replaced if they’re older than 10 years.

PICKERING -- The City of Pickering and the
Pickering Museum Village are looking for
descendants with ties to Pickering Township
or the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada.
The Rebellion of 1837 was an uprising of dis-
gruntled settlers, many of whom were farm-
ers or retired British soldiers. After a series of
attempts to bring about political reform in
Upper Canada, they took up arms against the
colonial government. Following the events of
the revolt, hundreds of men and boys, many
from Pickering, were either imprisoned or
banished. Families were torn apart and many
Pickering residents left and emigrated to the
United States, never to return.
The Museum Village is planning a special
performance for rebellion descendants only
on Sept. 24. They’ll be treated to a private
production of the award-winning A Spirit
Walk , an original dramatic production of the
events leading up to the Rebellion of 1837.
Held at the Pickering Museum Village,
2365 Concession Rd. 6, the production will
go along its paths and through a collection
of the homes and buildings of those who set-
tled in Pickering Township. Some of the fami-
lies portrayed in the play include Matthews,
Willson, Barclay, Hubbard, Wixon, Major and
Law.
Descendants should contact:

Pickering shelter
hosting Whitby event;
cats rescued from
unnecessary euthanasia
need new homes
WHITBY -- Cats that have been rescued
from an unnecessary death sentence will
be up for adoption this weekend.
The Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue Inc., a
not-for-profit registered charity run by a
growing group of volunteers who simply
love cats, will host an adopt-a-thon this
weekend at the Brooklin Pet Valu, 5949
Baldwin St. S. Unit 12.
“We’re rescuing them from high-kill
shelters that ran out of room,” said Sha-
ron Carss of Cat Town, a small Pickering
shelter that cares for some of the Forgot-
ten Ones rescues.
“The only reason they’re being put
to sleep is because there’s no room for
them at the shelter.”
Cats and kittens will be up for adop-
tion on Saturday, March 12 from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. and Sunday, March 13 from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m.
They range from $175 to $225, and all
cats have been checked by a vet, spayed
or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped,
treated for internal and external par-
asites and any further care they may
require.
They also come with six weeks of pet
insurance.
Pet Valu is offering a 15 per cent dis-
count to anyone who adopts a cat or kit-
ten, excluding food and litter.
Forgotten Ones is always looking for
foster homes as well.

Award Winner
Nowadays, homeowners renovating their
homes often look to wood fl ooring to replace
existing fl oors. Hardwood is coveted by buy-
ers, and its clean, inviting look makes it a
neutral design element that goes with many
different types of decor.
Today's hardwood fl ooring is not the hard-
wood of the past. There are many options
Home Sweet HomeADVERTISING FEATURE
Today’s wood fl ooring is not your parents’ hardwood
from which to choose, including varied
colors, types of wood, patterns, and inlays.
In addition, innovations in sealants enable
hardwood to be durable and hold up better
against the daily grind.
About 25 years ago, a homeowner basi-
cally had to settle for wood fl ooring that
was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The
strips were nailed in place by a carpenter
and fi nished on site. Now, more than half of
hardwood is fabricated and prefi nished at a
factory and is much easier to install -- even
by the homeowner himself.
The range of styles and colors is also very
extensive. Planks can be chosen in thin strips
or wider options. Native hardwoods are
available, as are offshore woods from differ-
ent countries. Finishes can also be custom-
ized with higher gloss or matte choices.
For homeowners interested in going green,
hardwood fl ooring also presents many op-
tions. A growing trend is using reclaimed
wood that is recycled and then refi nished
into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed
from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes,
and even river bottoms. The varied history of
the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal.
Homeowners can also choose among engi-
neered wood products, which are essentially
several layers of wood veneer adhered to a
solid backing of plywood and sealed. This
layered construction can make engineered
fl ooring more stable and durable than tra-
ditional hardwood fl ooring. That means it
can be used in rooms where hardwood was
long frowned upon, like basements and bath-
rooms.
Wood fl ooring will continue to garner mass
appeal and be the preference of many hom-
eowners. With new innovations and avail-
ability, there are more options than ever for
discerning homeowners.

“I was a little surprised because it seemed
there was chatter behind the scenes and con-
cerns about it, but ultimately at the end of the
day, it’s an issue that’s gone on for such a long
time and to be honest, the deal that staff has
worked out with the Province is a good deal,”
she said.
The overall sound barrier cost is estimat-
ed to be about $1 million and the Province is
expected to pay the remaining $900,000.
Municipal property and engineering divi-
sion head Richard Holborn said based on
what he’s heard from Pickering officials, the
Province is ready to move forward on the
project.
By setting aside the funds in the budget,
it shows the Province Pickering’s ready to
attack the long-time project.
“It lets the Province know that we’re serious
about this matter and that we’re willing to go
through the steps to get funds approved as
a sign of the (importance of the) project,” he
said.
In 2006, a tri-party agreement among Dur-
ham, the Province and Pickering where all
three government bodies would be respon-
sible for funding was yet to take place, but
instead, has fallen by the wayside.
Coun. O’Connell, who spoke with Region-
al staff regarding the issue at the beginning of
this term, said some staff didn’t know about
the Marinet issue, while others thought the
issue was no longer on the table, “so there
was no intent for the Region to move forward
any time soon.”
While there’s been debate on who is respon-
sible to pay for the barrier, Mr. McLean just
wants it done. “If they put up the sound bar-
rier, I’d love them all,” he said, referring to the
City, the Province and the Region.
He hopes the work will get done before the
next provincial election because he noted if
power shifts hands once again, the residents
could be back at square one.
Coun. O’Connell said once the funding
is included in both municipal and provin-
cial budgets, the Province will undertake a
detailed design on the project.

IMPROVISATION
Laughing and learning with improv
Stephanie Herrera’s
lessons apply
to comedy
and business
MIKE RUTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- At first glance, the
connection between improv and
the business world might seem
tenuous.
But Durham Improv’s Steph-
anie Herrera has discovered a
strong link and specializes in
corporate improv.
Through games and exercis-
es, attendees meet new people,
have a blast and, along the way,
sometimes without realizing it,
pick up or accentuate skills that
can make them better business
people.
“It’s about confidence boost-
ing, learning how to focus, get-
ting those creative juices flow-
ing, getting out of your head and
acting,” she says.
At a recent One-Day Improv
Intensives workshop, Herre-
ra welcomed a dozen people
to Class Act Dinner Theatre in
Whitby. Asked why they signed
up, many stated “to have some
fun.”
Pickering’s Marlene Marco,
a network marketer, was there
to have a good time, but also to
learn how to think on her feet
better, to come up with a faster
response in business situations
and to improve her communica-
tion skills.
“It’s not that I’m uncomfort-
able meeting new people,” she
says, adding she thought it would
be a great way to meet some new
people and grow as a person.
A member of her networking
group, Cindy Sullivan of Whitby,
had attended a session before
and spoke highly of it.
“I went to have fun and I
learned so much about myself
... it was more than I expected,”
Sullivan tells the group.
“I’m open to whatever it is I’m
going to learn,” Marco says.
The energetic Hererra tells
the group of her roots in improv
and musical theatre, including a
stint as a cast member at Theatre
Sports Toronto. She organizes
a live improv show in Durham
once a month.
She says she’s not out to teach
people how to be funny, but
how “to get out of their comfort
zone.
“The imagination is a muscle,”
Herrera says. “If you don’t use it,
it will go away.”
The basics of improv, she says,
are verbal and non-verbal “offer-
ing and accepting.”
Things get started with The
Clapping Game, where the
dozen participants accept and
send claps to others in the group
as quickly as possible. Before
long everybody is laughing.
More games follow, and partici-
pants are encouraged to jump in
and take part.
“It relates to business, not
being afraid to take a chance,
seize an opportunity,” Herrera
says.
“You should always be think-
ing, ‘how do I get in and help,
how do I support’ in business
and life.”
The games get a bit more
complex, as when one person
would say, for example, ‘I have
a migraine’ and a second per-
son would have to come up with
a reason why that’s important to
or impacts them, as in, ‘I’ll have
to go and get you some medica-
tion’.
In The Hitchhiker Game, two
imaginary motorists pick up a
hitchhiker and begin speaking
and acting as the new passenger
does while having a conversa-
tion.
Richard Gauder of Port Perry,
co-owner of CMS Web Solu-
tions, came to Improv Intensives
for a number of reasons, includ-
ing curiosity.
“I want to support laughter in
Durham,” he says.
He brought his wife, Sandi,
whom he felt needed a break.
“She needs to get out; she’s
in front of a computer all day,”
Gauder says.
As for himself, he says he’s
often chosen to speak or be a
master of ceremonies and felt
the workshop would benefit
him.
Sullivan had done improv as a
teenager and, as an Avon lady,
does a lot of cold calling.
“You never know who’s going
to come to the door,” she says.
Apart from thinking quickly
and speaking more clearly, her
goal the first time she came out
was to be more confident in talk-
ing with strangers. This time
around, Sullivan wanted to build
on what she had learned.
Sullivan has high praise for
Herrera, who she says “keeps the
day moving at a fast pace.”

CONCERT FOR KIDS
Ajax site of second
annual Children’s
Concert
Pickering
Community Concert
Band plays for kids
AJAX -- The Pickering Community
Concert Band is set to perform an inter-
active concert for younger children.
The second annual Children’s
Concert is at Forest Brook Community
Church, 60 Kearney Dr., Ajax, on March
27 at 2:30 p.m.
This energetic and engaging musical
event is geared towards a younger audi-
ence. It allows children to get involved in
the performance and experience the thrill
of live music, as in the Kinder Symphony,
when audience members are asked to be
the soloists.
As in 2010, this year’s concert is
expected to attract a large audience. The
band recommends getting to the perfor-
mance early to ensure a spot is available.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for
children and seniors. They can be pur-
chased at the door and from any of the
band members.

Community Concert Band, visit www.con-
certband.ca.
WATCH a video at durhamregion.com
Many old movies became available on
VHS mainly because the quality the tech-
nology offered was on par with ordinary
analog television. The studios could eas-
ily, and with minimal cost, directly transfer
much of their back catalogues to VHS, since
they had already scanned them for TV in
the past.
With the appearance of DVD, the situation
was drastically different. Movie fans feared
that limited older titles would not make it
to the new invention as they did with VHS
because now movies had to be re-mastered
to high-definition and the cost of doing so
was an issue. But, over time, for the most
part, this concern proved to be unfounded.
The oldies are widely available on DVD, but
at the same time, there’s quite a ways to go
yet.
So what about Blu-ray? Yet another format
to drain the pockets of film fans and collec-
tors. The thought of starting all over again
is exhausting in itself. But wait. This time
around, it doesn’t look like the new techno-
logical kid in town will get an upper hand
for three simple reasons:
1) Old standard definition videotapes
reveal hardly any picture quality improve-
ment when up-converted to high-defini-
tion Blu-ray; therefore, DVD remains the
favoured format for television programs and
movies from the past.
2) Blu-ray machines can play older DVD
films; both mediums exist in compatibility.
3) Last but not least, the biggest obstacle to
terminating the DVD is that many consum-
ers are quite satisfied with it, myself includ-
ed.
There is no indication the DVD will fade
away; in fact, it is predicted it will remain the
dominant force in the home entertainment
arena for years to come.
Some keynote movies not on home video
in any format:
Wind Across The Everglades (1958). A tough
one to crack. Contains an early, impressive
role by Canadian Christopher Plummer,
who has received quite a bit of media noto-
riety in recent times. Of course, the Ever-
glades are a real eye-catcher.
Sons And Lovers (1961). Based on a D.H.
Lawrence story; superbly constructed on all
counts.
Porgy And Bess (1959). Impossible to view
anywhere. Classic George Gershwin musi-
cal adaptation which spawned the timeless
record, I Loves You Porgy by the talented
blues and jazz singer Nina Simone.
Song Of The South (1946). OK, this one did
see the light of day but only in Japan on
Laserdisc. You can imagine the dollar signs
in the eyes of anyone owning a copy, con-
sidering this Walt Disney item is highly
sought after. And not likely to be unleashed
from the vaults, due to sentiments of politi-
cal incorrectness.
The Truth About Spring (1965). Young
love story starring Hayley Mills and James
“Danno” McArthur, whom we lost on Octo-
ber 28.
Sands Of The Kalahari (1965). Susannah
York and Stuart Whitman played their parts
well in this interesting tale of survival after
a plane crash. Shades of The Flight Of The
Phoenix.
The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs (1960).
Surprising this has never made it to home
video. Well-crafted drama of human rela-
tionships based on a play by William Inge
is laced with a fine score by Max Steiner.
No less than five vinyl singles of the theme
music competed with each other during the
picture’s initial run.
Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955). The story
of a school teacher told in poignant flash-
backs.
You’re Cheatin’ Heart (1964). Good Hank
Williams biopic with George Hamilton.
Merry Andrew (1958). I’ve been called that.
Another of many entertaining, comedic
Danny Kaye flicks, popular during the 50s
and early 60s.

OFSAA
J. Clarke, Dunbarton
have long runs
DURHAM -- A couple of local schools
gave a good account of themselves in
basketball and volleyball at the OFSAA
championships.
At the Quad-A boys’ basketball
championships in London, J. Clarke
Richardson advanced to the bronze
medal game, losing to Henry Carr 79-75
in overtime. It was a good run for the
Ajax school, who opened the tourna-
ment with a 71-51 victory over Fletch-
ers Meadows, followed by a 73-50 vic-
tory over JF Ross. In the quarterfinals,
J. Clarke beat Sacred Heart 62-52, but
the run to gold ended in the semifinals,
falling to Loyola 76-73.
J. Clarke was ranked number two
in the 16-team tournament after getting
in when Pickering, who won the LOSSA
championship over J. Clarke 83-72, was
ruled out after using an ineligible player
this season due to an administration
error.
In Quad-A girls’ volleyball in New-
market, a slow start in the round robin
didn’t deter Dunbarton from a long play-
off run.
Seeded seventh, Dunbarton fin-
ished third in a pool of four in round robin
play, relegating them to the consolation
round of playoffs. In the quarterfinals
they swept Glebe 25-18, 25-18, Mother
Teresa 25-16, 26-24 in the semis, and
Waterdown 26-24, 25-21 in the consola-
tion final.
VOLLEYBALL
Doyle named top Canadian
Pickering volleyball
player honoured
with national award
SAINT JOHN, NB -- Humber College volley-
ball star Landis Doyle is capping her athletic
career on top of her game as she was named
the Canadian College Athletic Association
(CCAA) female volleyball 2010/11 player of
the year.
It is the first time a Humber volleyball ath-
lete has won the award.
The award was announced Wednesday night
in Saint John, NB, where Doyle is with the rest
of the Humber Hawks, as they compete at the
CCAA national championships at the Univer-
sity of New Brunswick. The Pickering native
led the Humber Hawks to a 24-1 record and
the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association
(OCAA) title, the fourth straight women’s vol-
leyball championship for Humber.
“I’m honoured and surprised by this award.
There are so many excellent and deserving
players, it’s flattering to be named CCAA play-
er of the year,” said Doyle, who plays middle
for the Hawks. “I’m grateful to my coaches
and my teammates. This award belongs as
much to them as it does to me. My time at
Humber has been amazing. I wanted to play
volleyball wherever I went to school. I came to
Humber for the academic program, and I’m
glad I did.”
A third-year graphics design diploma stu-
dent, Doyle juggles practices, games, volun-
teering at Humber community volleyball clin-
ics and her studies. She has excelled academi-
cally and was named a 2010/11 Academic All-
Canadian and an OCAA Academic All-Ontar-
ian.
It is her success on the court in her last sea-
son that has brought attention to the quiet
star. She now holds OCAA records for career
points and aces, after breaking the previous
records of 1,035 points and 188 aces. She has
also been named a two-time All-Canadian,
two-time OCAA Player of the Year, and won
numerous other awards.
Her coach, Chris Wilkins, says that even with
all the records, honours and awards, Doyle
remains focused on the team goals.
“Landis’s humility and dedication to the
team makes her special. She is a unique indi-
vidual who’s a true team player, one that
avoids the personal spotlight, but embraces
the role of being the go-to player on the court
when needed,” he said.
“Sometimes the player of the year is award-
ed to the person who had the best year, and
other times it is based on honouring the ath-
lete’s career achievements. This is one of the
rare times that the recipient is truly deserving
from both points of view.”
Humber honoured Doyle this year by mak-
ing her just the fifth women’s volleyball player
to have her jersey number retired.

Lindsay Brazill wins
gold, bronze medals
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Lindsay Brazill has
been on skis since she about a
year and a half old.
Now, as a 17-year-old Grade
12 student at Trafalgar Cas-
tle School in Whitby, Brazill
is making quite an impact on
the slopes, as evidenced by her
showing at last week’s OFSAA
Alpine Ski championships.
The Ajax resident won gold in
the slalom event and also cap-
tured a bronze in the giant sla-
lom. She was the only female
competitor to finish inside the
top three in both events.
The ability to hunker down and
put a little more into her second
runs in each event allowed Bra-
zill to return home with the two
medals.
“My first slalom run wasn’t the
best run I’ve ever had so I had
quite a bit of time to make up on
my second run,” she said, while
estimating the time to make up
was more than half a second, a
considerable margin in the ski
world. “I went out there with
nothing to lose at that point and
had a pretty good run.
“On the second I think I ran
things a little straighter and
went faster. I think I held back a
little on the first run.”
The reason she held back, Bra-
zill guessed, was likely due to
nerves.
“I just wanted to make sure
I finished and didn’t fall,” she
said with a laugh.
Having spent most of her life
on the hills through the winter
months, dedication to the sport
along with the support of those
around her have helped Brazill
reach the pinnacle of her sport
at the high school level.
It’s a fact she was quite quick
to point out.
“The coaches I have had have
been really supportive. They’ve
always been there to help me
train,” she said. “That and just
working hard. Also my broth-
er (Thomas), who is also quite
good has been able to push me
quite a bit.”
As for what is next, Brazill
isn’t quite sure at this time. She
is currently going through the
process of trying to pick a post
secondary institution and has
narrowed her choices down to
two schools. One here in Ontar-
io and the other out in British
Columbia.
“I think I’ve decided on
Queen’s or UBC if I get into
either,” Brazill said.
“UBC has an excellent ski
team and Queen’s I just love the
school.”

that all the curlers love it. He says that
every game will be a battle as the field
has many tough teams. The balance

Much too soon you had to say goodbye,
Our hearts now heavy, we can only cry,
Your silent laugh, your bright blue eyes,
Peanut, I'll see you soon and not say goodbye.
BERRY, Brooklyn (Peanut) Lee - Born March
24, 2009, to March 8, 2011. Suddenly after
23 months of fi ghting, Brooklyn passed
peacefully at home. Peanut as she is known
to all who loved her, had a happy disposition
and would often smile and laugh, though
when she was angry, everyone knew it. A
frequent patient at Sick Kids hospital, she
spent most of the past year at home. Brook-
lyn is predeceased by her father Andrew and
is survived by her mother Crystal, and sister
Taylor. Brooklyn will be sadly missed by
Nana and Ganpum Taylor and grandparents
Brian MacIntyre (Marla), Sandra Berry and
great grandparents Anna Bradley and John
& Rhoda MacIntyre as well as her aunt
Ashley and uncles: Brad (Melissa), Chris,
Jason, Christopher (Laura), David, and
Stewart. Thank you to all of the wonderful
doctors and nurses at Sick Kids Hospital.
Especially those on 8A and in CCU and Dr.
Bartels, and Dr. Peter Dirks for their caring
and compassion. Thank you to everyone who
cared for Peanut in her year plus and return
visits at Sick Kids. A special thank you to
David Brownstone for his support, assis-
tance, and caring . Visitation is being held at
McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME - 28 Old
Kingston Rd, in Pickering Village on Sunday

PICKERINGADVERTISING FEATUREFocus on Business: Small Cost, Big Results!
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!

Business feature or to book an ad, please call
Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or
