Pickering shoe store to give comfort
Walk comfortably into a
BioPed store and donate
to a good cause
KRISTEN CALIS

PICKERING -- While some take for
granted their good shoes that help them
get from place to place each day, oth-
ers don’t have the same luxury, says the
owner and manager of Pickering and
Oshawa BioPed foot clinics.
Smruti Paymaster wants to give the
gift of comfort and dignity to kids and
adults who can’t afford suitable footwear
through the two BioPed Franchising
Inc. clinics she runs. BioPed is the lead-
ing provider of lower limb health care in
Canada, and the pedorthic clinics pro-
vide a full range of lower limb and foot-
related products and services.
Ms. Paymaster and her staff are collect-
ing gently worn shoes from the public, as
are all other BioPed stores across Can-
ada, to donate to local Salvation Army
locations.
“Specifically right now we’re collecting
for what we call Dignity Day, which will
be held on May 18,” she said.

PICKERING -- BioPed pedorthic intern Lauren Simonds, left, and manager and owner
Shruti Paymaster posed April 21 with some of the donations they have received as part
of the goodytwoshoes campaign. They will be taking the donations to the Salvation
Army May 18 where they will fit the shoes to those in need. See PICKERING page 12

Hopefuls make their case
to more than 200 people
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The last debate in a series
among candidates in the Ajax-Pickering rid-
ing was the loudest yet, with the crowd letting
the politicians know, through cheering and
jeering, just what they thought of their poli-
cies.
The April 21 event was organized by Com-
munity Development Council Durham and
hosted by Devi Mandir in Pickering with Lib-
eral incumbent Mark Holland, Conserva-
tive Chris Alexander, the Green Party’s Mike
Harilaid and the NDP’s Jim Koppens taking
the stage to share their positions and answer
questions from the audience. United Party
candidate Bob Kesic did not attend.
With a crowd of more than 200 people, the
loudest group of supporters seemed to favour
Mr. Alexander, though there was also a loud
contingent for Mr. Holland. The Liberal pub-
lic safety and national security critic took a lot
of tough questions on his positions on issues
such as crime and the long-gun registry.
Mr. Holland re-stated his position that it
would be a mistake to adopt an American-
style prisons policy and said the Conservative
plan is what has failed in California.
On the gun registry, he pointed out that the
majority of police chiefs in the country, police
associations, doctors’ associations and more
support the registry.
“I stand with those victims who’ve endorsed
me in this election, I stand with the police, I
stand with those medical workers who say
the gun registry saves lives,” he said.
Mr. Alexander, meanwhile, said he sup-
ports strong gun control, but his party would
not stand for the registry because it punishes
rural Canadians and law-abiding citizens.
Continuing a theme from previous debates,
the majority of the panel pushed Mr. Alex-
ander to defend Mr. Harper’s democratic
record.
“We cannot trust a government found in
contempt of Parliament and who treats free
speech of its citizens with contempt,” said Mr.
Harilaid.
Mr. Alexander, who served as Canada’s
ambassador to Afghanistan, pointed out that
Mr. Harper led his party through four demo-
cratic elections in recent years and compared
democracy in Canada to what he had seen
overseas. “It’s still the envy of the world, in
Afghanistan and elsewhere,” he said.
The group also tackled the issue of health
care.
Mr. Alexander said the Conservative gov-
ernment increased transfer payments to the
provinces which helps pay for health care and
said the Liberals had slashed the transfers to
get the deficit under control in the 1990s.
“I think most Canadians regret that was
done on the back of our health-care system,”
he said, adding that the transfer payments to
Ontario meant that the Province could keep
a hospital, such as the one in Ajax-Pickering,
open.
Mr. Holland responded that the Conserva-
tives are planning on spending billions on
fighter jets and questioned how that would
impact health-care spending. “If we spend all
that money on that and on corporate tax cuts,
the money’s not going to be there,” he said.
He also talked about the need to invest in
mental health services.
Mr. Koppens said there were problems in
the system, pointing out that his daughter in
Smith Falls can’t find a family physician and
said he was opposed to public-private part-
nerships in health care.
The NDP candidate defended his decision
to take a vacation with his family during the
campaign period. Before the meeting, he said
the vacation was scheduled long before the
election was called and as a working man, he
couldn’t afford to reschedule it.
“Maybe I’m not a politician because I made
a promise to my children and I keep my
promises,” Mr. Koppens said in defence of his
decision to go.
In closing, Mr. Harilaid urged the public to
take a strong look at his party’s platform.
“Go back to the Green Party, look at the
social issues, look at the environmental
issues,” he said.
Mr. Holland talked about his long years of
service in the community, from a youth vol-
unteer to a city councillor to serving as mem-
ber of Parliament; Mr. Alexander re-stated
that the choice was between his party and a
coalition that includes separatists; and Mr.
Koppens urged everyone to vote, regardless
of who they cast a ballot for.

Council rejects
proposal to ban
electronic devices
at meetings
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Councillors aren’t willing
to give up their smartphones during their
meetings.
Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles’
motion to ban the use of cellphones in
council chambers during public and in-
camera meetings failed at the April 18
council meeting.
The motion stated electronic devices at
meetings can be “distracting, disruptive
and disrespectful.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to use
BlackBerries or other tablets or cell-
phones during the conduct of meetings
and I hope other councillors will support
this,” Coun. Pickles said at the meeting.
Some did, such as Ward 2 City Coun-
cillor Doug Dickerson, who brought the
motion forward along with Coun. Pickles.
“I understand the need for something
for emergencies but not for continuous
use of them within, whether that be a del-
egation or member of council,” he said.
But the majority didn’t support a ban.
“I do believe we should treat our col-
leagues and delegations with respect but
it’s not necessarily about having a Black-
Berry or not,” said Ward 1 City Councillor
Kevin Ashe.
Electronic devices are the way of the
future, said Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Bill McLean, who likes to know family
members, residents and clients can reach
him day or night.
“My BlackBerry’s always on, even when
I’m sleeping -- my wife will attest to that,”
he said. “I also have a business that is not
a nine-to-five business.”
Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodri-
gues, who noted he hardly has his Black-
Berry with him at meetings, said ban-
ning an object isn’t the answer to making
council more respectful.
“Should we ban screwdrivers because
the odd person will stick someone with
it?” he said.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer
O’Connell complained the motion didn’t
spell out that the use of assistive electron-
ic devices would be allowed for someone
with a disability.
“We’re asking council to move backward
in time?” she said.
But Coun. Pickles said the clerk would
make sure those details were ironed out
in the bylaw process. He added after the
meeting that such allowances go with-
out saying, like guide dogs accompanying
the visually impaired when a sign says ‘no
pets allowed.’
The mayor supported the motion.
“I think it’s well-intended and I think it
would work,” he said.

Easter ball hockey fun
AJAX -- Tyler Bell, left, Max Bell, and goalie Bailey Raymond all enjoyed the Easter holiday by taking
part in some ball hockey at Paradise Park on April 22.
Three suspects sought
AJAX -- Police are on the lookout for bicycle-riding bandits commit-
ting street-level robberies in Ajax.
In two incidents Monday, victims were approached by suspects who stole
or attempted to steal cellphones, Durham police said. Cops are appeal-
ing to the public for assistance identifying the sus-
pects.
The first incident occurred about 3 p.m. Monday
when two people were approached by two males on
bicycles on Mandrake Street. The suspects asked
for the time and when a male victim took out
his phone, they restrained him and tried to
grab the phone. The would-be robbers fled.
At about 4:30 p.m., a woman waiting
for a bus at Westney and Kingston roads
was approached by a male on a bike who
asked about the transit schedule, police
said. He rode away but soon returned and
asked for the time, then assaulted the woman
and stole her phone. The suspect was joined by
two other males on bikes as he fled.
The suspects in the incidents are black men in their late teens, police
said.

Hospital foundation
confirms names removed
temporarily for renovation
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Bruce Galloway was surprised to find
the commemorative bricks in his daughter’s
name was no longer in sight during a recent
trip to the Ajax-Pickering hospital.
“They just vanished,” he said.
In the late 1980s, Mr. Galloway’s daugh-
ter Elaine was killed in a car accident, and
the family requested donations be made to
the hospital in lieu of flowers. Donors got a
brick to take home, and names of donors or
the names of those who’d died were put on a
plastic sheet that looked like a brick wall in the
west lobby.
“I always stop and look at my daughter’s
name -- five bricks in a row,” Mr. Galloway
said, adding they were $150 each.
Tracy Paterson, Rouge Valley Health System
Foundation vice-president of development,
confirmed the mock bricks were removed as
part of the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering
hospital’s renovation. She said people had
been picking away at the sheet over the years
and it was starting to look run down.
“Only two letters were left where it said ‘Buy
a brick,’” she said.
Ms. Paterson said all donor recognition has
been taken down throughout the hospital, but
not out of disrespect and not forever. Hospi-
tal staff members are discussing ways to pres-
ent the donor names in a new, more modern
fashion to coincide with the hospital’s rede-
velopment.
“We’re looking at new ways to recognize
all our donors,” she said. “Past, present and
future is what we’re looking at.”
Ms. Paterson said she’d be happy to get input
from Mr. Galloway on replacement ideas, and
wanted to remind residents they can stop in
the foundation office at any time with ques-
tions or to provide input.
“I encourage people to call and come and
see us,” Ms. Paterson said. “We like to hear
stories. We like to get feedback.”
The office has been in a temporary location
throughout the renovation and can be found
in a trailer on the south side of the hospital.

Sweet treats from
a selfless resident
To the editor:
What does community mean? Do your
kids ask you that question? Is your answer
a lesson in geography or history?
Recently my family had the chance to
experience a truly unique example of ‘com-
munity’.
Our children hosted a charity skating
event in lieu of their annual birthday par-
ties. They were blessed to receive the gen-
erous support of family, friends and com-
munity. The kids raised $3,175 for Camp
Oochigeas.
While planning the event, our friend
and neighbour, Shannon, offered to take
care of the thank you gifts and would have
her friend make cookies. The gingerbread
cookies were made by a Pickering resident,
Alison. They were carefully made in the
shape of a ribbon with a line of gold icing,
symbolizing childhood cancer awareness.
Each guest received two cookies in a
beautifully wrapped bag with a ribbon and
printed ‘thank you’ message attached. Ali-
son produced more than 100 bags of these
gingerbread cookies for us. When Shannon
dropped off the goods, we were informed
that Alison (a person we’d never met) had
simply donated the whole lot.
It goes without saying we were truly
blown away by Alison’s random demon-
stration of kindness. Her gift was a fantas-
tic example of community, which we will
never forget.
We can’t thank Alison enough and want
everyone to know she is a wonderful per-
son, right here in our community.

FEDERAL ELECTION
Time to leave
the wilderness
To the editor:
I watched the Land over Landing debate
with the sole objective of deciding on my
candidate choice for May 2. I now realize
why Mark Holland is viewed as a thorn in
the side of the Conservatives.
It has nothing to do with being a watch-
dog for citizens; Mr. Holland is a blood-
hound. He is aggressive without cause and
what he characterizes as passion is just
rowdy exuberance. He seemed angered
for no reason and believes that volunteer-
ing in the community since he was 12 gives
him the inalienable right to be MP.
Chris Alexander, the diplomat, was highly
effective in fending off the Harper attacks.
Although I did not hear all the plans he has
for Ajax-Pickering, I had a good glimpse of
how he will present himself in representing
us; eloquent and respectful and presenting
a refreshing departure from the standard
party rhetoric.
It seems the Conservatives will be
returned to power. Ajax should therefore
leave the opposition wilderness now and
embrace representation within the ruling
party.
On May 2, I will dip my finger in blue ink
and I will vote for the diplomat Chris Alex-
ander.

To the editor:
As another federal election has been cast
upon us, it is apparent that many of us did
not wish for one.
Even though this will be our fourth time
to the polls in the last seven years, and
you may have lost interest in participat-
ing, please remember this: we cannot
change the past, thus we must all deal with
an election. More importantly, remember
that your right to vote has been paid for in
blood.
It is too easy for we Canadians to take for
granted the many privileges we have.
Not that long ago however, Canadians
fought, bled and died to defeat tyranny and
to preserve democracy, providing you with
the right to speak your mind, to choose
where to work, and yes, they even afforded
you the right to choose what to wear.
So, the next time you see a veteran, be
sure to thank him or her for the many free-
doms we all share, then be sure to cast your
ballot in the May 2 federal election.

&
Being a ‘Special Friend’ and more in Durham Region
Kids in the care of the Children’s Aid
Society in Durham are looking for a few
Special Friends.
The social service agency, charged
with protecting children within Durham
Region, is actively seeking volunteers in
the region’s communities to help bring
some light and learning to its youngest
clients.
Special Friends with the Durham CAS
are matched with children -- many of
whom have endured more tragedy and
sadness than most of us confront in a life-
time -- and encouraged to provide posi-
tive role modelling, build trust and self-
confidence, and share in some of life’s fun
little pleasures.
The Durham agency is currently strug-
gling with funding reductions that limit
some of its program scope, but the respon-
sibility to protect and nurture children in
need abides.
And volunteering for the CAS or any
other similar non-profit agency in Dur-
ham benefits not only those in need of
mentors and positive role models, but
the very lives of individual boys and girls,
men and women.
They strengthen the fabric of our com-
munities, expose us to the sometimes
brutish consequences of fate and circum-
stance, and tell us something about our-
selves.
If you’re between the ages of 18 and 80
and have both the motivation and interest
in bettering your community, we encour-
age you to contact the Durham CAS and
other community-based organizations
that rely on the generosity of volunteers.
With the CAS you can volunteer as one of
the agency’s Special Friends, or lend your
expertise at special events, on supervised
family visits, driving children to necessary
appointments, or even provide basic aca-
demic tutoring.
Other social service agencies and com-
munity-based non-profits could use a
hand stocking food shelves, or assisting
youth groups, or helping to spruce up a
neighbourhood park or playground.
The Durham CAS currently serves
approximately 1,000 children in the
region. If you can help bring a smile to a
young boy or girl’s face, if you can commit
to bringing something positive to their
lives, if you can spend time one on one
with a child in need, the opportunity to
act on it is now.
Durham is blessed with a great depth
and breadth of caring, concerned and
compassionate citizens. Consider helping
a child, directly or indirectly, through vol-
unteering with the CAS or other Durham
organizations.
You’ll strengthen your community, give
a young person a more positive outlook,
and build towards success: yours and
those whom you help.

WE ASKED... ...AT ROSEBANK PUBLIC SCHOOL
I don’t think our dogs want us to move.
We’ve just put the place up for sale and
my wife and I -- well, OK my wife -- has
worked hard to make the place look pris-
tine.
And it does. It’s showcase-ready inside
and out.
But the yard is a different story. The nor-
mally abundant and breathtakingly var-
ied gardens are doing their best to come
along.
But the dogs are not helping. Over the
years, we’ve had a lot of dogs in this house
and they all to one degree or another leave
their mark on the backyard. Dogs do that.
But it’s never been anything that the natu-
ral greening power of nature has not been
able to erase.
It’s a different story with these two mutts.
The big one seems to think our efforts to
save the plant life are some sort of a game,
the rules of which appear to be ‘whoever
can leap over and put the most poop in the
fenced-off area wins’.
I knew we were losing the contest when
I heard my wife crying out from the sliding
glass doors ‘He’s crapping on my vinca!’
No husband ever wants to hear that.
The other miscreant is a nine-month-old
Victorian bulldogge puppy.
But for all intents and purposes she may
as well be a lowland gorilla; sitting for
hours in the lush vegetation of the garden,
happily gnawing on whatever plant is clos-
est at hand. She looks more like a giant
panda than a dog.
And although slow and lumbering, her
capacity for carnage is staggering. She sin-
gle-handedly turned a gorgeous, mature
hydrangea into something you’d find on
the desk of a Japanese businessman. You
can shout at her all you like to, and you
never get anything but that indignant look
of ‘What?’ that all bulldogges seem born
with.
The two of them are also either part bea-
ver or Amish or perhaps both, as they have
a remarkable penchant for finding any
stray lumber and dragging it into the yard
for a little recreational carpentry.
I don’t know where the stuff comes
from.
But I suppose if a dog is clever enough to
leap a four-foot-high fence and defecate on
a vinca plant with the accuracy of a smart
bomb, I shouldn’t be surprised when he
shows up with the odd two-by-four.
You can give them chew toys until you’re
blue in the face, too. But apparently there’s
nothing as satisfying as destroying a living
thing.
I’m just waiting for the rhubarb to come
in. The book says it’s supposed to be toxic
to dogs.
Doesn’t say anything about gorillas or
pandas though. Frankly, my money’s on
the dogs.
Anyway, the upshot is that the yard is
coming back, slowly. But meanwhile it
looks a little rough.
If it rains for a spell and the two of them
decide to play a little ‘catch me if you can’
or ‘keep the two-by-four away from the
other guy’ or even a quick game of ‘panda
tag’, the place can quickly turn into some-
thing that looks more like the Ypres salient
than a lovely backyard. Those, of course,
are the days when you have a showing.
Yippee.
Then again who knows? There’s got to be
a First World War buff out there looking for
a house.
-- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer,
saves some of his best lines for his columns.
Kids write the
darnedest things
I love kids. I love being around them and I
love listening to what they think.
For the past month we have been running
a contest asking students in grades 4 to 7
what they would do if they could be prime
minister for just one day.
Some kids sent in their own entries while
teachers in some schools used the con-
test to get their kids writing and the entries
flowed in.
I spent a good part of my Easter Sunday
judging them and here is a small sample of
what kids would do if they were prime min-
ister.
Charities were big. The Hospital for Sick
Children, animal shelters, groups fighting
cancer, all would get more money. Smok-
ing would be outlawed -- a great idea -- and
Canada would do more to help people liv-
ing in Japan and Haiti.
Some students said schools would be
a target. Some would close them, others
would only let them open for three hours
a day and one young writer said classes
should be held outside. Hopefully just in
the summer.
One young student would spend the day
shopping in New York City and give his
mom $1 million while another went the
opposite route and said all MP salaries,
including his own as prime minister, would
be cut.
Houses would be built for the homeless
and food would be handed out to those
who are hungry. Another imaginative mind
said he would hold a day to honour past
prime ministers with a parade, confetti and
a 10-feet tall by 13-feet wide cake.
One of my favourite images was a stu-
dent who suggested if you pet a dog tied to
a school fence, and it wasn’t your dog, you
would have to write an essay as punish-
ment.
Then there was the student who said he
wouldn’t do anything because Canada is
great the way it is.
A nice thought but I’m not sure how many
adults would agree.
Watch for the winners in this week’s
issue.

Most Durham politicians have
embraced social media
ocal politicians are find-
ing that a modern elec-
tion campaign means
more than shaking hands
and kissing babies. It
means friending, follow-
ing, tweeting and putting
up their best front on
popular social media pages.
The power of social media was
clearly evident on April 6, when
Prime Minister Stephen Harper visit-
ed Ajax where Conservative Chris Alexander is trying to
unseat Liberal Mark Holland in the Ajax-Pickering rid-
ing.
That morning, the Liberal war room released what was
described as “outrageous new comments” from Mr. Alex-
ander at an Ajax poverty forum. The press release said
Mr. Alexander claimed there is no poverty in Canada.
The comments weren’t exactly new, as they were part
of a pre-election poverty forum in Ajax reported on by
the News Advertiser and the Toronto Star, and in their
full context they weren’t outrageous either because it was
clear to those who attended that Mr. Alexander was talk-
ing about the type of poverty experienced in third-world
countries, which he said has been eliminated in Canada.
As members of the national media began tweeting the
attack clip, Alexander supporters were quick to respond,
sharing longer versions of the clip which not only includ-
ed an angry woman’s verbal flaying of Mr. Alexander, but
Mr. Holland as well. The quick response, via social media,
mostly nullified what could have been a straight-up scan-
dal dominating the news on the day of Mr. Harper’s visit.
Although Mr. Alexander withstood that one attack, he
is trailing in the overall social media battle with Mr. Hol-
land, who is by far the most active Durham politician of
social media regularly posting on Facebook, Twitter and
YouTube.
He laid the groundwork before the election, engaging
local residents through social media as part of his con-
stituency work.
Now that the election is in full swing, Mr. Holland has
870 likes on his Facebook fan page, more than 3,500
friends on Facebook and more than 1,700 followers on
Twitter.
More importantly, his Facebook wall is open to the pub-
lic with lively debates occurring on a daily basis and Mr.
Holland frequently responding in comment threads as
opposed to simply pushing out posts for others to com-
ment on.
Mr. Alexander is also active through social media,
quickly catching up with 1,100 Facebook friends and also
regularly posting videos on YouTube, especially when
prominent Conservatives such as Stockwell Day and
Tony Clement have popped in for a visit. He trails, how-
ever on Twitter, where he counts just 256 followers and
the debate on his Facebook page is somewhat less active
than Mr. Holland’s.
The NDP’s Jim Koppens and the Green Party’s Mike
Harilaid also use social media as part of their cam-
paigns.
In other areas of Durham, in most cases the frontrun-
ners in the election are hanging back while their oppo-
nents embrace social media in an effort to take them
down.
Though he doesn’t post often -- the last time was March
22 -- and doesn’t open his wall to comments, Whitby-
Oshawa MP and current Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s
Facebook fan page has 1,590 likes. His personal Facebook
page has just 49, seemingly hand-picked friends.
Among his opponents, the Green Party’s Rebecca Har-
rison leads with 433 Twitter followers while the NDP’s
Trish McAuliffe is tops on Facebook with 576 fans. Both
women are heavy social media users for their campaign,
and Liberal Trevor Bardens also has a modest presence.
In Pickering-Scarborough East Liberal incumbent Dan
McTeague’s fan page wall sees steady chatter from fans,
but there are no contributions from Mr. McTeague him-
self.
His Twitter account seems to be the most popular
among Durham politicians, with more than 3,000 fol-
lowers, despite the fact that he hasn’t tweeted since
2008. Most of his tweets are related to gas prices.
Among his opponents, Green Party candidate Kevin
Smith has embraced multiple social media platforms,
blogging, tweeting and posting on Facebook. The NDP’s
Andrea Moffat leads with 839 followers on Twitter and
almost 1,800 Facebook friends and Conservative Corne-
liu Chisu also has a modest presence on social media.
Meanwhile in the Durham riding, it seems anti-Bev
Oda sites are more popular on Facebook than the Con-
servative MP is. The inactive Bev Oda for Durham group
has just 42 members while the Fire Bev Oda fan page has
339 likes.
Her opponents have a much stronger social media pres-
ence. The NDP’s Tammy Schoep and Green Party’s Ste-
phen Leahy all tweet frequently, as does Liberal Grant
Humes who leads the pack with 283 followers on Twitter
and more than 500 Facebook friends.
In Oshawa, incumbent Colin Carrie has just under
1,000 friends on Facebook while Liberal opponent
James Morton has 1,022. The Green Party’s Gail Bates
has about 200 members in her Facebook group and the
NDP’s Chris Buckley has just over 100 fans. Mr. Morton
also has more Twitter followers with 2,875 compared to
576 for Mr. Carrie. Both men regularly tweet.
With so many politicians logging on, residents can test
the waters and see how responsive they’ll be in Ottawa
based on how well they do connecting with voters via
social media.

MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH
On that day, all BioPed stores will close
their doors, while employees make their
way to Salvation Army locations to help
hand out shoes to those in need.
The shoes are being collected through
BioPed’s goodytwoshoes foundation,
which was founded in 2010 and has since
collected gently worn footwear from
across the country and donated them to
charitable organizations.
“Our partnership with the Salvation
Army is a natural extension of the goodyt-
woshoes mission. In closing our clinic
doors on Dignity Day, we hope to open
countless doorways for those individu-
als who do not necessarily have access to
adequate footcare and footwear,” Robin
Schleien, president and CEO of BioPed
said in a press release.
So until May 18, the Pickering and
Oshawa locations will contain a bin for
the shoes for Dignity Day during operat-
ing hours.
“We need to have a good support-
ive shoe to be able to do our walks, to
do everyday activities,” Ms. Paymaster
said.
She noted 50 per cent of the clients at
her clinics have foot problems due to
wearing poor footwear, either from lack
of support or not having the right size
of shoe. So the BioPed employees will
ensure the people receiving the shoes
are matched with a pair that fits them
properly. BioPed will also donate a lot of
its old inventory that hasn’t been worn at
all.
“Our suppliers as well are donating
insoles and socks there,” Ms. Paymaster
said. She added the two locations have
received generous shoe donations so far,
but seem to be lacking in men’s shoes.
“We want to make it a real big success
because footwear is so important,” Ms.
Paymaster said.
The stores are located at 1725 Kingston
Rd., Unit 25 in Pickering and 1250 Taun-
ton Rd. E. in Oshawa.
The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York have jointly initiated a Schedule C
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) to identify the preferred

Agency needs more

TARA HATHERLY

DURHAM -- The children are our future, so
volunteers at Durham Children’s Aid Soci-
ety are helping children in Durham Region
gain the skills they need to become positive
adults.
Through the organization’s mentoring pro-
gram, children in CAS care are matched with
a dedicated volunteer who becomes a child’s
Special Friend. As a Special Friend, a volun-
teer spends time weekly with a child, taking
them out into the community and engaging
them in fun activities that help build confi-
dence, trust, self-esteem and social skills.
Jessica Schmid is a Special Friend to nine-
year-old Kyle, who has been in CAS care for
most of his life. Kyle, a Grade 4 student, was
born in Oshawa and still lives in Durham
Region.
Kyle and Ms. Schmid meet once a week
to hang out and have fun. By being consis-
tent and showing up on time for their week-
ly meetings, Ms. Schmid is teaching Kyle to
trust people and their relationships with him.
By being an unpaid volunteer, she is show-
ing him that someone cares about him solely
out of the goodness of their heart. By expos-
ing him to different activities in the commu-
nity during their visits, she is helping to build
his confidence, self-esteem and social skills.
Ms. Schmid recently began a career as a
child and youth worker for Youthdale Treat-
ment Centres. The 25 year old graduated
with a degree in criminology from UOIT in
2009, after graduating with a degree in soci-
ology from the University of Waterloo in
2007. She has been volunteering with Kyle
and Durham CAS for over a year now.
“I just always knew that I loved working
with children,” she said of her career and vol-
unteer choices. “Children need role models
and mentors, and they need to live happy
lives.”
Kyle and Ms. Schmid do all sorts of activi-
ties together, including playing board games,
riding bikes, go-karting, rock climbing and
bowling. Recently, she took him snowboard-
ing and taught him how to ride the slopes. He
was nervous at first, but with Ms. Schmid’s
support, he built up the confidence to try out
the sport and loved it.
“We’re just kind of having fun together,”
Ms. Schmid said of the time she spends with
Kyle. “I’m a relationship that he can count
on. I’m someone that’s going to be there for
him and he knows that.”
Their relationship also gives Kyle a sound-
ing board for his thoughts. Through spend-
ing time with a child in care, volunteers
help provide valuable insight into how the
child is coping. Children in care go through
a lot emotionally, while dealing with major
changes in their lives, and may not always
be willing to open up to their social work-
ers or foster parents. Having someone there
to just listen to their thoughts means a lot to
children, said Dawn Ashford, co-ordinator of
volunteer services for Durham CAS.
“Every person on earth just wants to be
loved and feel special and that they have a
unique place in the world, and I think that’s
what the volunteers do,” Ms. Ashford said.
“They’re the one person involved in the
child’s life solely for that purpose. Without
the volunteer, we wouldn’t have that one
individual person whose only role is to do
that.”
For a child in care, having a relationship
they can count on is crucial to rebuilding
their sense of self, said Jacqueline Garrett,
Kyle’s children’s services worker.
“It’s a huge part of their lives,” Ms. Garrett
said of the mentoring program. “Having a
Special Friend dedicated strictly to one of
our children in care means a lot to a child in
care. Their confidence increases. Their sense
of identity and self increases. They feel that
they belong somewhere in the world and
that someone just accepts them for who they
are, and doesn’t judge them for their past or
what’s going on in their life,” she continued.
“They’re a kid again, they can just relax and
have fun.”
Durham CAS currently has 135 volunteers
between all of the agency’s programs. While
Special Friends are sorely needed, volunteer
opportunities are available to help with spe-
cial events, supervise family visits, provide
tutoring, drive children to appointments
and more. The agency’s board of directors
are also volunteers. The Special Friend pro-
gram is offered to children of all ages, and to
parents who need help adjusting to having a
child in care.
Successful volunteer candidates must be
18 or over, with no criminal record. Candi-
dates must also submit a driver’s abstract
and sign an oath of confidentiality.
A reduction in government funding forced
Durham CAS to cut 31 staff positions last
year. Now, more than ever, volunteers are
crucial to ensuring children are getting the
help they need, said Ms. Garrett.
Interested volunteers can contact Ms. Ash-
ford for more information at dawn.ashford@
durhamcas.ca.
Durham CAS receives government fund-
ing, but also runs several programs for which
funding is not provided. To help fund these
programs, donations can be made to the
Durham Children’s Aid Foundation.

site is available at:

On April 30 and May 3, Durham Region will host information centres to discuss potential roadway improvements designed to enhance transit
service along Highway 2 in three transit priority opportunity areas in Ajax and Pickering (see map below). Improvements may include curbside
bus only lanes, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, mixed traffic lanes, or a median transit way. The public information centres will be
arranged in an open house format providing information on the study, the transit vision for the corridor and future opportunities to get involved.
This study is being undertaken in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects under the Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment and the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. If you have any questions or comments about these upcoming

Several Durham residents have made the
dean’s list at Niagara University. Making the
list for the fall 2010 semester were Erin Cay of
Nestleton, David Ross of Bowmanville, Taryn
Wiltshire of Oshawa, Chelsea-Anne Sheilds of
Brooklin, Maryann Armitage, Tanya McLean
and Kaleigh Watson, all of Ajax, and Bruce
Collict of Pickering. To make the dean’s list,
a student must have a 3.25 grade-point aver-
age (out of 4) for the semester. Niagara Uni-
versity iS iN Niagara, New York.
Robert Fraser is the newest member of the
Durham Regional Police Services Board,
having been appointed to a four-year term
by Regional Council. The owner of Fraser
Ford, Mr. Ford is a founding member of the
Durham Regional Police Appreciation Din-
ner and Awards Night. Since its inception
since 2003, the event has raised more than
$400,000, which has gone to a number of
successful community policing programs.
It may not be enough to retire, but Kenneth
Courtney of Bowmanville and Wes Walk-
er of Pickering are a pair of happy fellows
these days. The co-workers split $94,951 in
the March 5 LOTTO 6/49 draw. “At first we
thought it was $99,” Walker told OLG staff.
“We didn’t believe what we were seeing.
Does that say what I think it says? We are
very excited.” Mr. Walker added the two play
6/49 for the same reasons as everyone else
-- to win and retire. Retirement may not be
in the plans, so the winners each plan to pay
off some debts and tuck some away for their
children’s education.
Durham College has received $200,000 in
funding from the Natural Sciences and Engi-
neering Research Council of Canada, which
the institution will use for research in renew-
able energy. The funding is over two years
and is through the College and Community
Innovation Program.
Three Durham schools are the environmen-
tal envy of others. Sunset Heights Public
School and Gertrude Colpus Public School,
both in Oshawa, and J. Clarke Richardson
Collegiate in Ajax are recipients in the 2nd
annual Green Apple School Program, an ini-
tiative of food-retailer Metro Ontario. Each
school receives $1,000 in grants to use in pro-
moting a healthier environment.
A donation to the University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology will keep the entrepre-
neurial spirit of David S. Simmonds alive. Mr.
Simmonds’ Pickering-based company, Len-
brook Corporation, made a donation to the
school to establish the David S. Simmonds
Entrepreneurship Award, which will recog-
nize the faculty of business and information
technology’s winning Capstone program stu-
dent team each year with a $5,000 grant.

DURHAM -- April is Oral Health Month, and Durham
Region is reminding residents oral health is not limited
to just the teeth and gums.
The Region’s health department recommends regular
dental checkups, as oral cancer is hard to identify visu-
ally. “Oral cancer is a very serious disease and the sur-
vival rate has not improved the way it has for other can-
cers,” says Dr. Patricia Abbey of the health department.
“Research has shown that oral cancer is the sixth most
common cancer in the world and can affect the gums,
the bones of the face and jaw, the tongue, the lips, the
floor and roof of the mouth, as well as the throat.”
Statistics indicate 75 per cent of all oral cancers are
related to alcohol and tobacco use and, depending on
the amount consumed, the risk of oral cancer is six
to 15 times greater for those who use both substanc-
es. “Historically, oral cancer rates were higher among
men who were six times as likely to get oral cancer as
women,” Dr. Abbey noted. “However, the rates among
women are increasing as today, men are only two times
as likely to get oral cancer as women. This rise in the
risk for women is mostly attributed to increased smok-
ing habits.”
Ninety per cent of oral cancers occur in people
between 60 and 70 years of age. However, recent stud-
ies show that oral cancer can occur in adults younger
than 40 years old.
According to the health department, oral cancer rare-
ly causes pain and is often not diagnosed until already
advanced.
CANCER
Durham Region promotes Oral Health Month
Warning signs that can help in early detection of oral cancer
include: sores on the face, neck, or mouth that do not heal in
two weeks; swelling or bumps on the lip, gums or other areas in
the mouth; white, red or dark patches in the mouth; bleeding in
the mouth not related to injury that doesn’t improve with better
brushing and flossing; numbness, loss of feeling or pain in the
face, mouth or neck; a change in voice or a feeling something is
stuck in the throat.

DURHAM -- Local cancer patients can
now check appointments, track their
symptoms and find community support
programs with the click of a mouse.
Lakeridge Health and the Central
East Regional Cancer Program recently
launched a new website to connect can-
cer patients with information from the
comfort of their homes.
Once patients receive a unique ID num-
ber and log-on password from cancer
centre staff, they are able to access infor-
mation on theirmedical appointments,
complete symptom screening surveys,
provide patient feedback, watch videos
about chemotherapy and radiation treat-
ment and connect with community sup-
port organizations.
“In the future we’d like to expand the
patient portal to include information
such as diagnosis and treatment specific
information and potentially even access
to their own electronic health record,”
said Kathy Fraser, manager of informa-
tion technology at the cancer centre.
Patients can access the secure website
by visiting www.lakeridgehealth.on.ca
and clicking “R. S. McLaughlin Durham

NCAA SOCCER
Taylor has MVP season
Lincoln Memorial
University junior soccer
player earns top award
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
HARROGATE, TENNESSEE -- Turns out the
Lincoln Memorial University women’s soc-
cer team had its leading scorer on defence as a
freshman.
Sarah Taylor, who joined the Lady Railsplit-
ters after a stellar career at Ajax High School,
was named the team’s MVP after scoring 10
times and adding 11 assists in 17 games to lead
her team and finish third overall in the confer-
ence.
The junior midfield/forward also led the team
in scoring last season as a sophomore. But as a
freshman, the only way the Ajax resident could
earn any playing time was on defence.
“I was always a forward,” she says of making
the adjustment in her first year at the NCAA
Division II school. “It was my first game on
defence that I have ever played and that was in
university. After a year of playing defence, they
decided that they’d try putting me where I nor-
mally play and I haven’t gone back to defence.”
In that first season in 2008, Taylor started all
18 games, scoring twice and adding an assist.
Moving to forward the following season, she
blossomed, starting 17 of 18 games and scoring
13 goals to go along with four assists, leading
her team in points.
This season, at the annual awards banquet,
as a list of accomplishments were being read
out in conjunction with the team MVP award, it
started to sink in they were describing her. Her
only thought as she made her way to the stage
to accept the award: ‘Please don’t fall. Please
don’t fall.’
“My heart was pounding pretty fast. I had to
make sure I didn’t fall down in my heels,” she
jokes. “They talked about the accomplishments
over the year and you can figure out fast it’s you
because everyone starts looking at you.
“It was really good and nice to get that.”
Her season helped earn her onto the 2010
All-South Atlantic Conference second team,
National Soccer Coaches Association of Amer-
ica All-Southeast Region second team and the
NSCAA Scholar All-Region second team. She
was also South Atlantic Conference Player of
the Week in September after scoring four times
in a pair of wins.
Accolades are nothing new for Taylor, who is
a former Ajax High School Athlete of the Year,
and a two-time Ajax News Advertiser Face of
the Future in Grade 8 at Southwood Park and
Grade 12 at Ajax.
After starting on the pitch at the age of four
with the Ajax Soccer Club, Taylor worked her
way through the ranks, and began correspond-
ing with Lincoln Memorial in her junior year
of high school. As it seemed like a good fit, she
enrolled in kinesiology, with a minor in health.
On the academic side, she has been on the
dean’s list all three years.
Looking ahead to her senior year, winning
the conference tournament and moving on to
nationals is the goal.
“Next year could be my last season of soccer,
so I want to go out with a bang. I want to leave it
all on the field,” she says.
Following graduation she hopes to catch on
as a graduate assistant somewhere in Nashville
to complete a master’s degree. Of course, soc-
cer will play a big role in her life moving for-
ward, including returning home for the sum-
mer to help out at camps with the Ajax club.
“I’m not done. I don’t think I could live a day
without soccer just yet.”

season with 10 goals and 11 assists.
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Cory Joseph’s
tenure at the University of Texas
may be short-lived.
The Pickering native and Long-
horns’ freshman point-guard is
going to test the waters at the
next level, having declared for
the 2011 NBA draft. Joseph, and
two other Texas teammates --
sophomore swingman Jordan
Hamilton and freshman forward
Tristan Thompson of Brampton
-- made the announcement last
Friday.
Despite the declaration,
because Joseph hasn’t signed
with an agent yet, he will main-
tain his NCAA eligibility, leaving
the door open for him to return
to Texas for a sophomore cam-
paign.
Joseph plans to use the next lit-
tle while to get a better gauge on
just where he stands in the eyes
of NBA scouts and front office
personnel.
“I want to use this two-week
period of time to get a better feel
of what my draft status would be
this year,” Joseph, who started all
36 games for Texas this season,
said in a press release on the
Longhorns’ website. “I will fin-
ish my classes here, hopefully go
through some workouts for NBA
teams and personnel and use
feedback from those workouts to
make the best decision.”
As a first-year player this past
season, Joseph was named to
the USBWA freshman All-Amer-
ica Second Team, All-Big 12
honorable mention and the Big
12 All-Rookie Team. He led the
Longhorns in assists (3.0 per
game), steals (37 total), three-
point field goal percentage (.413,
52-of-126) and minutes played
(32.4 per game), finished fourth
on the team in rebounding (3.6
per game) and tied for fourth in
scoring (10.4 points per game).
Like Joseph, Thompson to this
point has opted against hiring
an agent and will go through the
same feeling out process over
the next couple of weeks.
The draft is scheduled for
Thursday, June 23 at The Pru-
dential Center in Newark, home
of the New Jersey Nets.

Silver for Wakefield at Worlds
ZURICH -- For the third
straight time, Canada will
have to settle for silver at
the world women’s hockey
championships.
On the strength of a goal
from Hilary Knight 7:48
into the first overtime
period, the United States
prevailed 3-2 to claim
the IIHF World Women’s
Championship for the
third time in a row.
Pickering’s Jennifer
Wakefield played a key role
in the gold medal game for
Canada, setting up Rebec-
ca Johnston for the tying
goal with 3:56 left in reg-
ulation. She had signifi-
cant ice time in the game,
including during the four-
on-four overtime period.
Newcastle defenceman
Tara Watchorn was also a
member of the Canadian
squad, but saw her playing
time reduced as the game
neared an end.
Wakefield ended up
with a goal and two assists
in the five games Cana-
da played, and was a +4.
Watchorn picked up a pair
of assists and was a +1.
Canada opened the tour-
nament with a 12-0 win
over host Switzerland, and
followed with victories of
7-0 over Kazakhstan and
2-0 over Finland to win its
pool and advance straight
to the semifinals. Another
win over Finland, 4-1, sent
Canada to the final.

OHL HOCKEY
Andreoff recognized as top
forward at awards banquet
Oshawa Generals
hand out
the hardware
OSHAWA -- After a standout sea-
son, Christian Thomas received
some much deserved recognition
during the Oshawa Generals’ end-
of-season awards banquet.
The third-year forward ended
the regular season with 54 goals
and 99 points, good enough to
lead the club in both categories,
while finishing second in the OHL
goals and sixth in points, For his
efforts, he took home the Three
Star Award, which is based on a
point system for the number of
first-, second- and third-star hon-
ours received during home games
this season, the Marc Savard Top
Scorer Award and team most valu-
able player honours.
Boone Jenner was the only other
General to win multiple awards as
he captured the Heart of a General
Award from general manager and
head coach Chris DePiero and the
Most Valuable Teammate Award.
Jenner, a likely first-round pick in
this summer’s NHL entry draft,
finished the season with 66 points
in 63 games.
Jenner was also called upon to
present the John Tavares Rookie of
the Year Award which was given to
fellow draft-eligible forward Nick-
las Jensen of Denmark. Jensen
had a solid season in his first go-
around in North America, tallying
29 goals and 58 points.
The Bobby Orr Defenceman of
the Year Award was presented to
captain Calvin de Haan as the like-
ly bookend on his Generals career.
Eligible to return as an overager
next season, it’s quite likely the
New York Islanders, who draft-
ed de Haan in the first round of
the 2009 draft, will have the Carp
native start his professional career
somewhere in their organization
next season.
One player expected back as
an overager is Pickering’s Andy
Andreoff, winner of the Eric Lin-
dros Top Forward Award.
Andreoff had a breakout season
for the Generals, finishing second
to Thomas in both goals (34) and
points (75) this season, while lead-
ing the team with a plus-34 rating.
Other awards handed out went
to Lucas Lessio, Anton Zupancic
and Scott Valentine.
Lessio, like Jenner and Jensen,
will be drafted into the NHL this
summer, and he skated home
with the Bruce Melanson Scho-
lastic Player of the Year Award.
Zupancic captured the Greg Cas-
bourn Memorial Award, an hon-
our donated by the Toronto Police
Service in the name of former offi-
cer and billet Greg Casbourn, who
passed away earlier this year. The
winner is chosen based on Cas-
bourn’s values of fairness, respect,
reliability and teamwork.
Valentine, meanwhile, received
the Red Tilson Community Ser-
vice Award.
Also during the banquet, the
Generals said goodbye to defence-
man Tony DeHart, goalie Peter Di
Salvo and forward Alain Berger,
their three overage players this
season.
TERRY WILSON / OHL IMAGES
OSHAWA -- Pickering’s Andy Andreoff was selected winner of the
Eric Lindros Top Forward Award for the Oshawa Generals. He had 34
goals and 75 points this season.

Sea Lamprey Control Centre Centre de Lutte Contre la
Lamproie Marine
Public Notice Avis public
May 2011
The Sea Lamprey Control Centre, Fisheries
and Oceans Canada (DFO), proposes to
treat approximately 34 km of Rouge River
with the lampricide TFM to reduce the
numbers of larval sea lamprey. Lampricide
will be applied for approximately 14 hours
from designated application points as noted
on the accompanying map. Treatment is
tentatively scheduled during the period of
May 01-03, 2011. The lampricide selectively
kills lamprey larvae and may also cause
mortality to other fish if under stress of
spawning, or weakened by disease or other
environmental factors. Although the
lampricide is not harmful to humans or other
animals at the concentrations used during
the treatment, any use of stream water for
irrigation and drinking should be suspended
for a 24 hour period during this treatment
period.
mai 2011
Le centre de lutte contre la lamproie marine
de Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO),
propose de traiter environ 34 km de la riviere
Rouge avec le lampricide TFM afin de
réduire le nombre de larves de lamproie
marine. Le lampricide sera appliqué
pendant environ 14 heures à partir de points
d’application désignés tel qu’il est indiqué
sur la carte d’accompagnement. Un
traitement est proposé pendant la période
du 01 au 03 mai 2011. Le lampricide tue
sélectivement les larves de lamproie marine
et peut également provoquer la mortalité
d’autres poissons s’ils sont en train de subir
le stress du frai ou s’ils sont affaiblis par la
maladie ou d’autres facteurs du milieu. Bien
que le lampricide ne présente aucun danger
pour les êtres humains ou les autres
animaux aux concentrations utilisées durant
le traitement, il est recommandé
d’interrompre toute utilisation de l’eau du
cours d’eau aux fins d’irrigation ou de
consommation pendant la période de 24
heures du traitement.

In Loving Memory of
Gordon McGregor
Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
It's lonely here without you,
We miss you more each day.
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
We think of you in silence
No eyes can see us weep
But still within our aching hearts,
Your memory we always keep.
Loving & missing
you always and forever
Your family & friends
