Pickering cadet makes the grade at CFB Trenton MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Two Durham teens are celebrating after receiving their jump wings from the Canadian Forc- es Basic Parachutist Course. Pickering resident Kyle Ryan and Oshawa resi- dent Adrian Francisco, both with the 1913 Army Cadet Corps in Oshawa, arrived at CFB Trenton on the Canada Day long weekend to begin their training. After a grueling selection process, 47 cadets from across the country were selected for the course, which is conducted by parachute instructors at the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre. Over the course of five weeks, cadets learn the basics of parachuting, the importance of safety and physical fitness and the specifics of jumping out of a plane. “It doesn’t even feel real now, it feels like a dream I went through,” said Kyle, who went straight from Trenton to the Canadian Forces Connaught Range and Primary Train- ing Centre to staff a cadet marksmanship course. Adrian also got right back to work after graduating the parachuting course, and is currently staffing cadet train- ing at the Blackdown Cadet Training Centre at CFB Bor- den. “Adrian and I kept saying how the heck did we make it this far, it felt like yesterday we were doing the first fit- ness test,” Kyle said, referring to the test that kicked off the beginning of qualifications for potential candidates in February.

Accused turns himself in to police for Canada Day stabbing PICKERING -- Durham Police have arrested a Pickering man in connection with Durham’s first homicide. Tyson Henry, 22 of Pickering died after being stabbed near the intersection of Parkham Crescent and Colmar Avenue in the early morning hours of July 2. Kyle Marcoux, 21, of Pickering has been charged with second- degree murder after he turned himself in to police on the evening of Aug. 22. He appeared for a bail hearing the next day. Investigators believe the accused and the victim had a verbal confrontation, which led to the stabbing. Police are not looking for any more suspects.

Leanne Price lives on Harman Drive in Ajax. Her home backs onto the schoolyard and park for Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School and she says there’s a small stream there. The beaver made his appearance on Aug. 6. “We have a fully fenced backyard; my brother was visiting and he brought my son out to play in the backyard and he came back in and said you have a 50-pound bea- ver in your backyard,” said Ms. Price. Initially she didn’t quite believe him and went out to take a look herself. “Sure enough there’s a beaver running around, he had pushed through a small hole in the fence.” Ms. Price said she thought the beaver had gotten through the lattice fencing but then the hole closed behind him and he was stuck in the backyard. She called Ajax Animal Control but was told they don’t deal with wild animals and instead they suggested Ms. Price call a pest control company. Meanwhile the beaver tried digging his way out under the fence, but the 30 C weather meant he was quickly exhaust- ed and he would take short naps between efforts. At one point, he slept with his back to the fence with his feet in the air. Ms. Price put out a pan of water for him and a neigh- bour also sprayed the beaver with water to keep him cool. “I was afraid it would get overheated and I’d have a dead beaver to deal with, but in the picture he’s sleeping,” said Ms. Price. The beaver did occasionally thump its tail in warning, but made no other moves to engage the humans. After about three hours, the beaver escaped back into the park after being gen- tly prodded through a hole in the fence by Ms. Price’s sister-in-law, who was armed with a plastic kids’ golf club. Ms. Price said her husband thought he saw the beaver swimming in the creek recently. And while the adults thought the beaver’s visit made for a unique event, Ms. Price’s two-year-old son was unimpressed. “He reacts more to a puppy on the street than he did to the beaver, he was not inter- ested in it at all.” O LG S l o t s at A j a x Downs -Your Mini Holiday!

We both had tough days, as all the guys did. Sometimes I needed a kick in the butt and so did he so we were just there for each other,” he added. The course included two weeks of preparation training before the cadets were handed off to instructors. “There was no cadet leadership after that, we were under the command of the parachute instructors and part of the real course,” Kyle said. “There were some pretty tough times where guys had to pull together to get through it, but that’s what it’s about, working together as a team,” he added. Those tough times included hang- ing from the rafters in flight suits dur- ing flight instruction and being dropped from raised platforms during landing training. But in the end, it was all worth it for the cadets. “We did two passes over the land- ing zone on our first flight, so when the first team jumped out and we saw their canopies open, that’s when everything became real,” Kyle said. “The first jump is the best of all because you have no equipment so it’s just you and the parachute. It’s a really wild experience. It’s amazing because everything you’ve done to get to that point really comes together. It’s some- thing we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.” Kyle also received the trophy for top mark in the graduating class, which comes with the opportunity to return next year to guide new cadets through the course. Ask Katherine Send your waste related letters, questions, or comments to waste@durham.ca Waste Management, Regional Municipality of Durham 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 How do I dispose of compact fluorescent light bulbs? Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) should never be thrown out with the regular garbage as they contain small amounts of mercury, which is used to produce their light. Durham residents can safely dispose of CFLs by dropping them off at any one of the Region’s waste management facilities located in Oshawa, Scugog or Brock. The Region sends CFLs to a company that captures the mercury and recycles 98 per cent of the glass, metal and phosphor components. Visit our website at www.durhamregionwaste.ca for maps to Regional waste management facilities and hours of operation. There are also convenient drop-off locations for CFLs throughout the community. Visit www.makethedrop.ca for a list of drop-off locations. How do I dispose of medical sharps (syringes, needles and lancets) and medical waste safely? To protectthesafetyofpedestrians and waste collection contractors, syringes require special handling. Please do not put medical sharps such as syringes, needles or lancets in the garbage, blue box or green bin. Place them in a tightly sealed rigid container such as a puncture resistant plastic bottle that is labelled “Syringes”, and take it to your local pharmacy or to a licensed waste disposal facility. Please visit our website at www.durhamregionwaste.ca for locations and hours of operation for Regional waste management facilities. Used medical supplies such as catheter lines/bags and dialysis tubes can be placed out with your regular garbage.We encourage residents to “double bag” this material if being set out for garbage collection. How should I dispose of other sharp objects such as broken glass or razors? When throwing out items like brokenglass,non-fluorescentlight bulbs, mirrors and razors, please keep the safety of your family and our collection staff in mind. Place sharp objects in a cardboard box, tape securely, and write “SHARP OBJECTS” on the box with a permanent marker. Place the box at the curb for safe pick up during your garbage collection week. 1-800-667-5671 www.durhamregionwaste.ca Mercedes -Benz Durham 250 Thickson Road South,Whitby,ON 1-888 -698 -2085 •www.mercedesbenzdurham.com >>smart commences cross -Canada plugged in tour and launches national electric drive contest To ronto,ON –smart Canada announced that it has initiated a cross-Canada tour that will bring the ground-breaking smart fortwo electric drive to every smar t Centre across the country.Designed to offer Canadians an exclusive opportunity to test drive the pioneering new smart fortwo electric drive, the smart plugged in tour began this week in Victoria,BC, and will travel from coast-to-coast throughout the next four months.In addition to offering Canadians a rare glimpse into the future of sustainable,intelligent urban transportation,the tour will also bring a charging infrastructure to each stop to demonstrate how simple and straightforward the charging process is. The technologically advanced,zero local emission smart fortwo electric drive is currently only available to a select group in Canada through the country’s first electric vehicle pilot project designed specifically for automotive retail customers.The plugged in tour will expose the electric drive to a broader audience,and allow test drive opportunities well in advance of the vehicle’s of ficial launch next year.The plugged in tour will be hosted by Mercedes Benz Durham,on August 29th.A smart will be available for demonstration and display. The main focus of the tour will be to illustrate that a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery provides the smart fortwo electric drive a generous range of 135 kilometres when fully charged,allowing the vehicle to comfortably transpor t two passengers without producing local emissions or compromising safety,agility,comfort,or interior space.In addition, torque build-up with an electric motor is instantaneous,providing maximum torque from a standstill,which further enhances the smart fortwo’s legendary fun-to -drive quotient. In conjunction with the plugged in tour,smart Canada is also pleased to launch a national contest that will award one lucky winner the first 2013 smart fortwo electric drive cabriolet in Canada.The contest will be held on Facebook on the smart Canada page,and will run until November 30,2011 .The winner will be announced in January 2012,and will take delivery of the first 2013 smart fortwo electric drive cabriolet midyear. “The smart fortwo is already a recognized leader that has been redefining individual urban mobility for over six years in Canada.We are excited to undertake this tour and offer our customers and prospects the opportunity to take a closer look at the smart fortwo electric drive as we prepare to make this pioneering new vehicle widely available next year,”said Tim A.Reuss,President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada.This powerful message demonstrates withouta doubt that our unwavering commitment to innovation throughout our 125year history has allowed us to remain at the forefront of sustainable mobility.We are proud to continue to revolutionize transportation and present another viable transportation option on the road to a more sustainable future.” Further information about the smart and the plugged in tour can be found online at www.thesmart.ca,facebook.com/s martCanada and twitter.com/smartCanada A division of Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc.

The Province announced this week that the Ajax-based facility will receive rough- ly $3 million in funding for the new site, enabling Pickering youth to have better access to its services while at the same time making it easier for the Ajax office to accept new clients.The centre for years has had available money to expand services, but required the space. A community health care centre and a charitable, non-profit organization, The Youth Centre helps youth ages 13 to 29 in a variety of ways, including medical, coun- selling and young parent support services. Doctors, nurses, social workers, youth out- reach workers and others combine forces to deal with the entire person in a holis- tic way. Youth who are depressed or have weight concerns can access the centre as freely as those who have strictly medical issues. Two nights per week it offers an evening walk-in clinic. Young parents can get on the right track by receiving help in areas such as healthy child development and nutrition. It even helps the parents of Ajax and Pickering youth through educational workshops and individual consultations. And there’s much more. Check out the calendar on its website, www.theyouthcentre.ca, and you’ll see it’s a busy place with a lot to offer our young people.It’s no surprise that in the last fis- cal year, according to executive direc- tor Susan Bland, roughly 20,000 youth in Ajax and Pickering benefited from its ser- vices. Break that down and it works out to around 55 young people each day. Just as important as the services it pro- vides is the manner in which they are offered: young people in our communi- ties trust The Youth Centre staff to be sen- sitive to issues which are often difficult to talk about, let alone seek help for, and to respect their privacy concerns. Let’s face it, home environments vary greatly and the centre is there for the young person who cannot or chooses not to turn to family or friends. And when they do turn to the cen- tre, they can be assured that knowledge- able professionals have their best interests at heart. The Youth Centre is a vital part of our communities and, for many young people, a life-saver in terms of the profes- sional, confidential and sensitive manner in which help is offered to them. Construction of the office, at a location to be determined, is to begin in 2012 and it is to be operational in 2013. It will undoubt- edly assist thousands of young people, often when they need it most. I laughed when I read this tweet from @ EmilieSmith regarding Tuesday’s earth- quake which could be felt in the GTA: “Co- worker turning on the radio to get the latest earthquake news. I’m concerned he may have never heard of the Internet or even twitter.” While the earthquake registered as a 5.8 on the Richter scale in Virginia, by the time tremors got to us in Ontario many of us didn’t even feel the slightest tremble. Those who did probably felt that logging on to Facebook and twitter was a good way of confirming that what they felt actually was an earthquake. Still, it begs the question, if it was more serious would we be turning online? The Province of Alberta is assum- ing people will. That’s why it announced this week it’s rolling out a new alert system that includes a social media component. Residents simply have to visit the site and follow the Twitter feed or like the page on Facebook. Of course, they’re not abandon- ing traditional methods of spreading infor- mation. Alerts will still be broadcast on the radio and on television. Ontario has similar social media and text message components to its warning system. To register, visit emer- gencymanagementontario.ca or follow @ ontariowarnings on Twitter. Recent examples of Canadian emergencies include the wildfires that suddenly swept through Slave Lake, Alberta and destroyed almost half the town and the flooding this spring in Manitoba. Closer to home, the folks in Goderich, Ontario are now engaged in the cleanup after a devastating tornado touched down. I can envision a number of scenarios where a social media alert may be more use- ful than a traditional broadcast. The very first advantage is that it’s interac- tive and people close to the emergency can feed information back to officials. For example, if there’s an earthquake and a water pipe bursts flooding out a road, emer- gency officials can be told immediately so they can ask others to avoid that road. More importantly, as the Japanese earth- quake showed, in some cases survivors who are trapped can use social media to contact officials or friends and family for help. Another benefit of the social media alert is that it’s capturing people who may not oth- erwise be aware of the emergency. In Goderich, residents only had a 12-min- ute warning. If you’re not watching television or listen- ing to the radio at the time, it might be easy to miss the warning altogether. By sending messages via social media or even traditional text messages, it increases the likelihood that the warning will be picked up by smartphone-owning residents. One down side about the social media emergency alerts is that while radio and television broadcasts can be interrupted to deliver a message, social media users have to opt in and follow the emergency Twit- ter feeds and Facebook pages. The Ontario warning Twitter feed currently has just 1,400 followers in a province of millions. Another issue is that if the emergency is severe enough, cell phone service may not work properly or folks may not be able to keep their batteries charged to keep receiv- ing the updates. That’s why a battery-operated or even hand-cranked radio is still an essential piece of emergency equipment for any home. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Reka Szekely Emergency warnings now pushed out through Twitter, Facebook durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 20117 AP Heads up, hummingbird fans. Time to scrub out your nectar feed- er and fill it with fresh sugar water. As promised, here’s a reminder to readers whose hummers disap- peared shortly after May migration, heading north to nest. The world’s most agile fliers are on their way back to Mexico now, with a new generation of awkward, curious fledglings among them. I’ve had a male ruby-throat vis- iting my feeder all summer. Now that the zinneas are in full bloom and the jewelweed is starting to flower, there’s much more to tempt migrants to stop in for a drink and a rest, leading to lots of aerodynam- ic action as our resident hummer protects “his” property. Sitting on the porch harvesting basil leaves for pesto the other day, 10 feet from the feeder, I was royally enter- tained by his comings and goings, red throat flashing, as he chased off intruders. And by a young hum- mer who for enchanted moments hung in the air right before my face, checking me out. Maybe because it had never seen a human before? Adding to the activity now in gar- dens and aster-filled meadows across Durham are monarch but- terflies. The worn looking ones are still laying eggs on milkweed plants. The fresh, vivid orange ones have just hatched and are starting their remarkable journey from Cana- da to high mountains in the heart of Mexico, where they’ll overwin- ter, hanging by the thousands on branches of fir trees. Butterflies, like birds, ignore bor- ders. Hot weather this summer and some strong southeast winds have encouraged an influx of one very special butterfly moving up from the States: giant swallowtail. These spectacular insects, their black wings dotted with gold, are resident in the Point Pelee area, where hop tree and northern prickly ash, two Carolinean species, grow abun- dantly, but individuals appearing in Durham Region are likely strays from New York state. Dianne Pazaratz, creator and chief caretaker of the beautiful but- terfly garden on Rossland Road in Oshawa, watched a giant swallow- tail circle her own backyard twice last week -- surely a reward for all her hard work providing butterfly habitat. With a six-inch wingspan, giant swallowtails are the largest butterflies in North America, so big they flutter as they feed, so as not to bend over the flowers they’re nec- taring on. And then there’s the largest moth. Lloyd Hanna of north Oshawa e-mailed me stunning pictures of a “brilliantly coloured caterpillar on a Manitoba maple, approximate- ly the size of a large tomato horn- worm. It was absolutely beautiful.” He’d never before seen this lime- green caterpillar with yellow, blue and orange knobs, bristles and claspers marching down its plump body, and discovered through research that it would turn into a cecropia, the biggest moth in North America, with a four- to six-inch wingspan.

It amazes me that peo- ple can just sit down and bang out these stories people want to read.” A friend’s comment on some- thing that’s near and dear to her heart prompted her to write, ‘Who says you can’t train a cat?’ “I had a friend comment to me once how well behaved my cats are,” said the Oshawa resident. “I just sat down and banged it out.” Less than two years later and cancer-free, she’s self-published the book, filled with anecdotes about her own cat experiences and training tips that she’s tried and found true over the years. “I wrote it to realize a dream,” she said. “If I don’t sell one, I don’t care. I can actually say I wrote and published a book.” She’s decided to donate some of the proceeds to the Toronto Humane Society. The current owner of two felines, Leo and Lucy, admits she doesn’t have the qualifications on paper to be an expert in the world of cats, but she’s learned a thing or two, having lived with the animals all of her life. “I continue to say, ‘I’m not an expert, I’m not a veterinarian, I’m not a cat whisperer,” she said. “I’m just a lover of cats.” When asked what specifically she loves about felines, she says it’s their curiosity, independence, stealth and spirituality. “When I was going through my chemotherapy treatments, Lucy never left my side,” she said. While one was easy to train, the other took a little more work. “Cats are like kids,” she said. “They’re all different.” Her first big piece of advice is to keep everything simple when try- ing to train cats. For example, if one is on a piece of furniture they shouldn’t be, don’t say ‘get off of there.’ “You just continue saying ‘no,’” she said. “But you have to keep it simple. If you don’t tell them too much, they pick it up.” And have patience. “It doesn’t happen right away,” she said. “It takes time. But they do pick it up.” Owners should definitely get to know their cat’s personality, she said. “Only then will you know that they’re doing something out of character,” she said. “That’s the only way they can communicate.” For more information, visit xlibris.com.

Janise Smith, of Home Instead Senior Care, is encouraging families to come out and share their favourite family desserts and the stories behind what makes the dishes special during an ‘Evening of Delectable Desserts’ event at the Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home. The idea for the event was conceived after a new research study conducted for Home Instead found that seniors who eat alone are at risk of isolation and poor nutri- tion. “Many seniors need help planning and preparing nutritious meals,” Ms. Smith said. “But that’s only part of the story. Many seniors want to relive a time around the dinner table when they are sharing their lives with the people they love most.” Selected recipes and stories from the event will be posted online and collected in a cookbook that will be available for purchase for the upcom- ing holiday season. Proceeds from the sale of cookbooks will go to Home Instead, which is a non-profit foundation that provides non-medical, in- home care and companionship for seniors across Canada. As part of Home Instead’s Homemade Memories Recipe Contest, one winner will be selected from the event and awarded with a $250 Shoppers Drug Mart gift card. An Evening of Delectable Desserts will be held tonight, Thursday, Aug. 25, from 7 to 8 p.m. at Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home in Pickering. community Pickering nursing home hosts night of desserts durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201112 AP durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201113 AP Unfortunately Buster still can’t bowl worth a lick.

CORRECTION NOTICEFUTURE SHOP Commitment to upload provincial costs important election issue: Roger Anderson KRisten CAlis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- After years of paying for provincial programs, Durham Region welcomes the premier’s commitment to relieve municipalities of some of the costs. Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual confer- ence on Aug. 22, when Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty reaffirmed the Liberal party’s plans to take on the responsibility of court security costs. This is one of the provincially mandat- ed programs that was downloaded onto municipalities in the 1990s. The Ontario Liberals have over recent years committed to reversing some of these costs, such as land ambulance costs and public health funding. This is an important issue for the Dur- ham chairman in the upcoming provincial election. “A commitment by him and I hope all the other leaders to live up to the agreement and the process of the upload is absolutely essential during the upcoming election,” Mr. Anderson said. He said this will help municipalities invest in important costs close to home, such as sewer and water. “Any money you can save and not have to spend is a bonus,” Mr. Anderson said. “If we can take some of that savings and put it toward infrastructure, it’s a win.” Mr. McGuinty said the uploading process would result in $1.5 billion in annual sav- ings for Ontario municipalities by 2018. “For us that’s a lot of money when you spread it across the province,” Mr. Ander- son said. www.mckenzietrailers.com NEW TRAVELTRAILERS NEW 2012 HARD SIDED SERIES NEW &USED TENT &TRAVELTRAILERS 5thWheels 8’,12’&14’WIDEPARK MODELS.

When he’s in control, the Pickering resi- dent is regarded as one of the best in the country, winning the 19 and over Elite Men’s Canada Cup downhill series championship. When it’s chaos, the end result are crash- es, resulting in injuries and stitches. As he prepares for the World Champion- ships in Champery, Switzerland, on Labour Day weekend, he wants to be in control, as the alternative isn’t nearly as much fun. “The season has been a bit rough for me,” he admits in critiquing his performance this year. “I wasn’t figuring things out earlier in the year and I was having problems with crashing in a lot of my race runs and getting injured. Just recently I started stepping into my speed. “This year I’ve been finding a different level of speed and getting there without having to crash. I’ve been trying to figure out where to push and where to hold back. Coming to the end of the season I’ve figured it out and made that step.” Fresh off a race win in a Canada Cup event in British Columbia, Fraser, 20, will be rep- resenting Canada for the fourth time at the world championships. Last year, in a home race of sorts in Quebec, he raced to a 39th overall finish. The Pine Ridge Secondary School grad is looking to better that performance this time out. “The track this year is going to be really tough. It’s really steep,” he says. “I think it suits me better than any of the tracks in the past have. “I’d like to go top-30 this time. To break into the top-20 would be ridiculous. That would be the ultimate goal maybe in two or three years.” There is also the experience factor that he will be able to rely on. He’s travelled the world to compete throughout his career, including stops in the United States, Scotland and Austria this year. With this being his fourth trip to the starting line at the world championships, he knows what to expect in terms of the envi- ronment, atmosphere and level of competi- tion. “You figure out the schedule. You get to know the coaches better and teammates. Every time I go I have those experiences to build on and it’s a closer working team, so it makes it easier,” he adds. Once he returns from Switzerland, Fraser will be back at school, returning to Brock University where he is taking sports man- agement. JaSon liebregtS / MetrolanD PICKERING -- Rob Fraser is the Canada Cup series champion for the 2011 Downhill Mountain Bike Series and will be representing Canada at the mountain bike world championship in Switzerland in September.

In the course of three days over the weekend, the National Basket- ball League of Canada team land- ed a name, a coach and three new players to build around. The Oshawa Power will be coached by former NBA player Mark Strickland, and will feature a trio of players drafted at the Rog- ers Centre Sunday: Morgan Lewis of Painesville, Ohio, who went first overall, Kevin Francis of Brampton and Blain Labranche of Edmon- ton. Strickland, a 41-year-old Atlanta native, was on his way home Mon- day and unavailable for comment. But Gary Durrant, the Power’s pres- ident of basketball operations, said Strickland’s the right man for the job, and not just because he played in the NBA from 1995 to 2002. “It’s not just the fact that he played in the league; what really struck me is the way that he got there. He didn’t get drafted coming of school. He went the exact same route as a lot of these guys in terms of playing overseas and other leagues that are less glamorous than the NBA,” Dur- rant said by phone Monday. “He’ll be able to relate to our players and he’ll understand the growth that is necessary.” Lewis, a six-foot-four guard from the University of Findlay, was excit- ed to become the league’s first-ever pick. The second and third rounds of the draft featured only Canadian talent. Francis is a six-foot-eight forward who impressed the brass during a Saturday combine. Labranche, a six-foot-five Univer- sity of British Columbia product, is described by Strickland as a “plain shooter (with) great size and he can post up.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201120 AP www.artandtechnique.com15 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa 905.728.7383 ext 224 Hairstyling/Cosmetology (Diploma) advan Ced estHetiCs/spa tHerapy (Diploma) NOW ENROLLING • Have a job for life • Graduate in less than 1 year • Monthly start dates • Maximum hands-on training Est. 1979 Continuing Education We’re here to help you help others.
