New census data shows Durham has higher percentage than rest of GTA DURHAM -- New data shows Durham Region has a higher percentage of baby boomers than any other GTA municipal- ity. The 2011 census reveals boomers -- defined as adults between the ages of 45 and 64 -- made up 29.3 per cent of Durham’s population, the largest demo- graphic by far. Durham’s proportion of people in this age group is slightly higher than the other GTA municipalities and the pro- vincial and national levels. York Region had the GTA’s second highest percentage of boomers at 28.9 per cent. “We’re all going to be facing the same issues and challenges around provision of services as these people move into the seniors age group,” says Roger Saunders, manager of policy planning and special studies for the Region of Durham. To put the numbers in perspective, Durham’s current crop of seniors 65 and older represents only 12 per cent of the population. In 2012 the first wave of baby boomers will turn 65, and from there experts say it will be a “silver tsunami” as the rest of the cohort, born between 1947 and 1966, achieve senior status. In the short term, Mr. Saunders says Durham will face increased demand for smaller housing units suitable for one or two people. Down the road that will shift to more pressure on supportive housing, long-term care and medical services. It’s a change local agencies such as Community Care Durham are already bracing for. The organization offers a range of ser- vices including Meals on Wheels, trans- portation to medical appointments, caregiver relief and home support ser- vices such as help with bathing and meals. Executive director Brent Farr says those supports help seniors stay in their homes longer, which is crucial when it comes to alleviating pressure on long- term care homes and hospitals. “Going forward early intervention will be very important,” he says. “As a com- munity health provider we will need to be engaged early enough with the client so that we can postpone or avoid unnec- essary hospitalization or long-term care.” Community Care Durham is one of 10 local agencies that have teamed up to work on a Community Health Servic- es Integration Strategy, which aims to implement “cluster-based” models for community support services and com- munity health centres by 2015. “The bottom line is the current system will not be able to handle the increase unless we do something different,” Mr. Farr says.

Whitby had the highest percentage of kids in Durham at 20.8 per cent, while Scugog had the lowest with 15.6 per cent. • Young people ages 15 to 29 -- sometimes known as the “Echo cohort” -- made up 19.9 per cent of Durham’s population, about the same as the pro- vincial and national numbers. The highest concen- trations can be found in Ajax and Pickering. • Adults ages 30 to 44 accounted for 20 per cent of the population in Durham, which is consistent with the provincial and national numbers, but the lowest among GTA municipalities. Ajax had the most people in this “bust cohort” age group at 22 per cent; the lowest concentration was in Scugog with 15.4 per cent. • Baby boomers ages 45 to 64 made up the larg- est demographic in Durham at 29.3 per cent, the highest in the GTA and slightly higher than provin- cial and national numbers. The most boomers can be found in Scugog where they represent 34.5 per cent of the population. • Seniors 65 and older made up the smallest part of Durham’s population in 2011 at just 12.1 per cent, lower than the provincial and national num- bers. The data ranged widely from place to place in Durham from 18.2 per cent in Brock Township to 8.7 per cent in Ajax. >‘‘The bottom line is the current system will not be able to handle the increase unless we do something different..’ Brent Farr, Community Care Durham DURHAM -- Baby Boomers, those between the ages of 45 and 64, make up the largest segment of the popula- tion of Durham Region.

The results of a new urban forest study, conducted by the Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority, was presented to coun- cillors during a meeting on June 11. The study looked at the city’s existing urban forest, which includes all trees, shrubs and understory plants, as well as the soils that maintain them, and was intended as the first step towards the creation of a manage- ment plan to preserve and grow the city’s forest assets. “Large, healthy trees provide a far greater return on investment than small trees,” said Meaghan Eastwood, an ecologist with the TRCA, noting that 75 per cent of the trees in the city were found to be quite small at less than 15.3 cm in stem diameter. “For example, a large tree that is 65 cm in stem diameter stores 65 times more carbon and removes 12 times more air pollution than a small tree that is 11 cm in stem diameter. In order to increase the number of large trees in the urban forest, we need to ensure that all trees have the necessary soil volume and quality, moisture and maintenance required to support their growth.” The study also found that residents have an important role to play in tree preservation and growth, with 29 per cent of the urban for- est located on residential lands. “It follows that an essential ingredient in urban forest management is outreach, edu- cation and assistance to residents. The resi- dents of Pickering can support urban forest stewardship by protecting and maintaining the trees they already have, planting addi- tional native trees that support local biodi- versity and ensuring that these new trees are properly placed to maximize energy savings.” Ms. Eastwood pegged the energy savings in heating and cooling costs that can come from well-placed trees at $1.1 million annu- ally across the municipality, with an addi- tional 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions from power plants avoided. A management plan could include such elements as a bylaw to protect trees. Councillors voted to approve a recom- mendation for staff to begin investigating the creation of a city-wide urban forestry man- agement plan. Funding for the plan will be included in 2013 budget deliberations, and work on the plan will begin once funding is secured.

At just 15 years old, Jessica Theocharides is a cancer survivor. More than that, she’s a beacon of hope for children everywhere. Jessica spent six months at SickKids hos- pital receiving chemotherapy to treat acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of the disease usually only found in adults. She was discharged on Feb. 18, 2010 -- her thirteenth birthday. Less than three years after her leu- kemia was declared in remission, the young woman exudes positivity as she discusses using her experience to benefit others. “It was a tough time and I was really scared, but I knew I was going to get through it with my family and friends’ support,” she said. “Even though it was very hard, so many good things have come out of it. It’s changed me to be a better person, I think.” Jessica is a SickKids patient ambassador. She shares her experience with others to raise awareness and funds for the hospital. “It’s important for me to share my sto- ries,” Jessica said, admitting the thought of public speaking would have sent her run- ning before. “I just want to show the world that kids are really strong, and what they go through is amazing and that they still keep living every day as normal. “I’m so thankful and glad that SickKids is so close,” she added. “What they do there is amazing, just the treatment and everything, I’m so thankful to have had that. And they have Marnie’s Lounge, it’s a teen lounge. It was just amazing, it made everything so much easier.” Jessica has spoken at several events on behalf of SickKids, helping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. She recently spoke at the hospital’s Dancers for Cancer gala, a per- fect fit for Jessica, an award-winning dancer. She hopes to dance at the event next year. She also raises funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada through its annual Light the Night walk. Her fundraising group, Jessie’s Team, has raised $25,000 for the foundation over the last three years. The first year her team walked, Jessica watched from her window at SickKids. Last year, she performed a dance during the walk’s open- ing ceremonies. Leukemia survivors must remain can- cer-free for five years before being declared cured. Two-and-a-half years into remis- sion, Jessica looks forward to being declared cured on Feb. 18, 2015 -- her 18th birthday. Jessica’s recovery has touched everyone around her, including her 12-year-old sister Amy. “When she first went into the hospital, when she was first diagnosed, I didn’t know a lot about cancer, so I thought she would die, because I was younger,” Amy said. “Then she came out of the hospital, and then she’s making speeches and she’s going to fund- raisers and raising thousands of dollars, and I was blown away because I’m so proud of her because she’s changed so much and she’s just a great person.” Jessica’s mother, Lori Theocharides, said she and Jessica’s father Dan are proud of how their daughter turned her situation around. “When you look at how negative the expe- rience we had was, and then the good that came out of it for her, being able to help other people, to us, it’s been so rewarding for us as a family,” she said. “Life balances out. For everything negative that happens, something good happens, and we’re living proof of all of that. Totally.” Do you or a family member have a medical condition or disability?

Fundraising walk benefits Prader-Willi Syndrome PICKERING -- Research for the rare Prader-Willi syn- drome got a boost from Pickering’s One Small Step fundraising walk. On June 10 more than 30 people walked through Pick- ering’s Alex Robertson Park to raise money for the syn- drome, which affects one in 12,000 births. The first phase of the two-phase syndrome is char- acterized by low muscle tone and difficulty sucking or moving. Although affected children do begin to walk, talk and eat normally, their brains fail to send messages to let them know they are full, requiring close supervi- sion of their food access and food intake to avoid obesity and bingeing. Also, due to low muscle tone, those affect- ed by the syndrome generally require 60 per cent of the normal calorie intake for healthy children and other body systems including hormones, temperature regula- tion and pain tolerance can be affected. Pickering resident Sarah Corkum, the mother of an 18 year old who suffers from the syndrome, organized the walk, which raised nearly $4,000. On hand was Keegan Johnson, president and chairman of the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research Canada. Mr. Johnson and his family started the Scotiabank One Small Step Walk for Prader-Willi Syndrome eight years ago as a way to raise money for research. Since then it has since grown to become an international event with walks taking place at 64 locations throughout the year. For more information, visit www.fpwr.ca.

I like a book with covers, with that inky, papery “book” smell, with pages I can actually turn and leaf through while looking for that bit of the story I want to re-read, with lines of type I can run my fingers over, books that quietly sit on a shelf until I decide to pick them up and get reacquainted. (And, I can hear my daughter saying, with a spine I can crack and corners I can mangle. She’s right. I’m not a gentle reader. Just ask her about Royal Pano- ply.) But that’s not to say I couldn’t be swayed by the e-book readers. I have seriously thought about getting one but have yet to commit myself. I admit, taking an e-reader loaded with books on a vacation would certainly be easier and lighter than taking along a stack of real books in a suitcase. E-books and e-readers are incredibly mobile, after all. Even more mobile than I thought. At the end of June, the Digital Bookmobile is coming to Pickering’s Central Library to demon- strate free library e-books, a service available from libraries all over Durham. In 2011, more than 20 million e-books were checked out of libraries, including those in Durham. This isn’t your father’s bookmobile. It’s a tractor trailer loaded with digital gadgets, including iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, BlackBerry, NOOK, Sony Reader and Kindle, all to demonstrate how you can borrow bestselling e-books, audio books and more from your library. Visit the Digital Bookmobile and you’ll learn how to download from the library, experience what e-books and audio books are like on computer stations and browse the library’s download website. There will be experts on board to show you the process which is kind of comforting if you’re not tech savvy. The bookmobile will park outside Pickering Central Library, One the Esplanade, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 30. Maybe I’ll see you there. What I’m reading: Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. I picked up it and a couple other of his books at Oshawa Public Libraries to re-read in remembrance of the author, who died last week. His novels and short stories kept me company when I was growing up. -- Christy Chase is a copy editor at Metroland Media Group Durham Region Division. She loves words, either reading or writing them.

To boldly go where this reader hasn’t gone before Pickering seniors have a lot of recreation opportunities to choose from in the city and Dave Simpson can take some of the credit for that. The South Pickering Seniors Club presi- dent has been named Senior of the Year by the City for his efforts to ensure local seniors have access to social programs and activi- ties. “It’s so important because so many seniors here are on their own and if they didn’t have somewhere to gather and socialize they would just fade away,” Mr. Simpson said of the importance of the club. “Every summer we close down for two months and people almost go crazy because they can’t come. It really is their second home. Having a place to go, programs avail- able and social interaction is very impor- tant.” How true. Have you seen that commer- cial, which paraphrases Newton’s First Law that a body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion? It’s true of most of us, especially seniors. Most are willing and able to take part in programs and activities if they are available and close to home. The club offers activities such as pool, cards and lawn bowling and events such as monthly dances. Mr. Simpson has added to the list by teaming up with a local pharmacy to have monthly blood pressure clinics and bring- ing in a registered nurse for twice monthly foot-care clinics. The club, located at the East Shore Com- munity Centre, has more than 800 mem- bers and is outgrowing its current facility. Mr. Simpson in November approached council about space constraints at East Shore and, in response, council voted to set aside $150,000 annually in a reserve account to fund a future facility. He says council’s commitment is one of the legacies he’ll be most proud to leave behind when he steps down as president at the end of this term, along with working with the City to expand that centre’s park- ing area. Mr. Simpson, 84, shrugged off the honour, spreading the credit around to Club board members and volunteers. “I don’t know that I deserve it any more than any of my board members... and noth- ing would get done around here without our dedicated volunteers, they are abso- lutely essential.” Local seniors, present and future, are for- tunate to have a person like Mr. Simpson working on their behalf. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 6 P du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP *We reserve the right to limit quantities.Register for our on line promotions at www.brunos.ca - Prices in effect to closing Wed., June 20th, 2012 375 Kingston Rd., Pickering (Rougemount Square) • 905-509-3223 Store hours: Mon-Thurs 9am-6:30pm • Fri 9am-7pm • Sat 8am-6pm • Sun 9am-5pm Follow us on: BRUNO’S Meat &Deli CERTIFIED ANGUSWHOLE RIB EYES CUT & INDIVIDUALLY VA C S E A L E D $11 99 lb. 26.43 KG CERTIFIED ANGUSBURGERS OUR STORE MADE FA MOUSPURE BEEF $699 lb. 15.41 KG CERTIFIED ANGUS WHOLE T-BONES $999 22.02 KG lb.

Mary Baldwin is one of these people. The former Ajax High School secretary has touched countless lives, as recently doc- umented on Facebook through the Mary Baldwin Appreciation Page. The online page, started May 6 by former Ajax High School students Brent Levy and Mark Lynn, has almost 1,400 members. “I wanted to reach out to her, and I thought there were probably other people who wanted to as well, and that’s how this Face- book thing got started,” Mr. Levy explained. “I asked Mark, ‘Can you help me with this,’ and he said, ‘Absolutely,’ and he got to work on that, got that up quick and boom.” The tribute page immediately drew mem- bers in droves. “It’s a long overdue appreciation that she is very deserving of,” Mr. Levy said. Ms. Baldwin can’t believe the fuss. “It’s been quite remarkable,” she said. “I was very surprised and heart-warmed by it all of course. It just brought back wonderful memories of my time at Ajax High School -- the best years of my life I always say.” Through the page, members of the Ajax community have reached out to say how Ms. Baldwin impacted their lives. The page boasts messages of appreciation from peo- ple including Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dick- son and Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson. After trying to keep the page a secret from Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Levy and Mr. Lynn turned up to visit her with a binder full of well- wishes printed from the website. “She was quite surprised, almost to the point of shock,” Mr. Lynn said with a smile. They plan to bring occasional updates from the page to Ms. Baldwin. “We didn’t do it for anything else but to say thanks,” Mr. Lynn said. “She taught a lot of people just by being herself ... She’s a class lady, full of class ... It’s a privilege knowing her.” Comments on the page describe a kind woman always one step ahead of her stu- dents. “Another way to describe her, and a lot of the people on the page have said this, is she was like a second mother,” Mr. Levy said. “You couldn’t pull the wool over Mary’s eyes, but that didn’t stop a lot of people from trying.” Mr. Lynn noted students’ love for Ms. Baldwin motivated them to behave. “You felt bad for letting her down,” he said. “Regardless of why you were in the office, she always had a smile and a kind word.” He described her as a driving force behind Ajax High School. “She steered the ship. That was her school,” he said. “She was, simply put, just a wonderful person. Extremely good with the students -- patient, but firm when nec- essary.” Members of the group are floating several different ideas to further honour Ms. Bald- win. Everything from naming part of Ajax High School or a street in her honour to nominating her for the Order of Ontario has been discussed excitedly by fans wishing to immortalize her legacy. “It brings a tear to your eye, because it’s so touching. It truly is. For me, being associ- ated with all of them was so important, and it gave me the best years of my life, truly. (I) just (want to say) a big thank you,” Ms. Bald- win said. “To me, I’m not all that important really, and I think of all the people who do so much in the community, and I think gee whiz, I went to work, and I loved it. I was for- tunate.” Born Mary Skyvington in East York in 1928, she married James Baldwin, a Second World War veteran, in 1948. The couple moved to Ajax in 1950, where they raised a son, John, and daughter, Mary. Ms. Baldwin worked at Ajax High School from 1960 to 1991. “Ajax has been very good to me,” she said. “For me the journey at Ajax High School, that part of my journey, was wonderful, truly. I didn’t ever have a day that I didn’t want to go, not ever.” She and her colleague and dearest friend, Ailsa Fleming, were famous for always being there. “Mrs. Fleming and I both, we accumulat- ed all the sick days we possibly could, that you couldn’t add anymore, which was fine,” Ms. Baldwin said. “You always felt you need- ed to be there, because each day had things happening. It was important, I thought, to be there, to be there for them, because you never knew, maybe you might make a little difference in somebody’s life that day.” Little did she know, those differences would last lifetimes.

Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 10 AP DURHAM -- It was one of those calm, misty mornings when you expect to see deer in the pasture, ghostly shapes in the wispy fog. I said that to my husband as we headed out to the sugar bush at his family farm, and for some reason we got talking about how these graceful grazers keep dry and warm. Dennis told me the hairs of a deer’s winter coat are hollow, providing good insulation, as well as buoyancy if they have to swim across a lake. I didn’t know that. We were doing our annual dawn survey of singing birds for the Canadian Wildlife Service. This was our 26th year as forest monitor volunteers, so we knew what to expect: lots of red-eyed vireos, ovenbirds and veeries, with a few scar- let tanagers, warblers and woodpeckers thrown in. Winter wrens if we were lucky, swarms of mosquitoes if we weren’t. Happily, the dry spell must have knocked down mosquito numbers, for we weren’t pestered too badly as we trudged through the maple woods from site to site, spending 10 minutes at each, recording every birdsong. We were at our last of five stations, high on a ridge beyond a marshy ravine we always have to wade across, when I heard an unfamil- iar sound. “Wild turkey,” Dennis said, and when it called again, I realized I was hearing just the beginning note of its distant gobble. Dennis’s ears are much better than mine. We’ve seen turkeys at the farm several times now, but this was our first year recording them on a forest monitoring survey. That little bit of excitement, plus having a northern waterthrush flit about in plain sight, obviously on territory, put a lilt in our steps as we left the woods and headed back across the pasture. We were halfway to the farmhouse when we saw two dark shapes in the tall wet grass. Not deer, but wild turkeys. Hens, we decided, and then, glancing left, saw two more, stepping warily away from us. And a moment later, a flurry of motion as a clutch of fuzzy babies followed the females, tumbling through the grass. I counted 20, very likely combined broods from at least a few of the four hens guarding the flock. Dennis was worried about the little ones getting wet and chilled, and told me about infant mortalities when his dad and mom used to raise domestic turkeys on the farm. We talked about other pos- sible threats, but when I suggested foxes and coyotes, he shook his head, saying young turkeys would be on the ground only during daytime, and well defended by their moms and aunts. It turns out that baby turkeys can fly up into trees at a very young age to escape earthbound predators. Something else I didn’t know.

Scan this QR code for video of this week’s adopt-a-pet on our Kristen’s Kritters blog Whitby resident kept looking BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com Lost cat came back on own DURHAM -- I was so happy to learn that a Facebook user who ‘likes’ my Kritters Facebook page had recovered her lost cat last week. Melodie Perry was obviously worried when she wrote on my ‘wall’ that her cat had gone missing. “She is spayed and frightened. Any help would be appreciated cause we miss her so much,” she said. Nine days later, Mama Kit Cat came back. “I have the best news!!! We have our missing cat back after 9 days, we are so happy, we will sleep tonight,” she wrote on my wall. Ms. Perry explained her family has a homemade trap, and that’s how they ulti- mately caught her, but they had to stay up every night to wait for her to go in. “She is so worth it,” she said, adding Mama Kit Cat is being really clingy and happy to be home. Losing a pet must be one of the worst feelings a pet owner can have. Our family cat went missing for a couple weeks when I was young. Then one day, he was just hanging out on the window sill outside. It may have been a fun adventure for him, but it had us worried sick. It seems people have turned to Face- book when pets go missing by posting photos and information on their friends’ pages, or pet-friendly pages like Kristen’s Kritters. And groups have started creat- ing large networks, like Helping Lost Pets (HeLP). This Markham-based company is a map-based, visual community of pets needing help and offers help for your pet. It’s free to join. Visit the site at helpinglost- pets.com. The Humane Society of Canada also has a pet recovery project that is free, and you can sign up all of your pets. Visit humane- society.com. As I have limited space, look for a future column on more tips to find lost pets. Ms. Perry sent in some tips on how to start looking for your pet. • When you first lose your cat, set out food, water and treats to keep the cat in the area, so it knows where home is • Change food often as in summer it can dry out and get bugs • Sardines and kippered herring have strong smells to draw them in • Call your cat’s name often, open cans outside -- you may not see your cat but he or she may be close • If you choose to trap, keep it in a shad- ed area • If you use automatic metal traps, check it often as you may catch an animal other than your cat. The less time an animal is trapped, the less stress it will undergo • If you use a guillotine type trap it must be manually checked -- your cat will develop a pattern of visiting the trap for food early morning or sunset • Do not get discouraged -- your cat knows home and even though you may not see your pet, it is probably close, just too frightened to come to you • Never give up.

An Oshawa man faces several charges in the incident, which police say included an attempt to elude officers and two separate fail to remain collisions earlier in the evening in Whitby. Officers responded to the vicinity of Liver- pool and Kingston roads at about 11:30 p.m. after a citizen made a 911 call about a sus- pected impaired driver, Durham police said. Cops found a vehicle abandoned near Lin- wood Street, some distance north, and began a ground search. A canine team located a suspect hiding in a residential backyard. Police said the sus- pect resisted arrest but was taken into custo- dy without injury. Police allege the man was impaired by narcotics, and had been involved in two hit-and-run collisions earlier in Whitby. Those crashes caused property damage and no injuries, police said. Jason Boyd, 31, of Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, faces charges including impaired driving, resisting police, breach of probation and driving while under suspension.

Nicholas Schiefer, 17, received an Intel Founda- tion Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for his project “Apodora: Markov Chain-Inspired Microsearch,” during the Intel International Science and Engi- neering Fair. The project looked at what Nicholas calls “microsearch,” or the ability to search small amounts of content, such as tweets and Facebook status updates. Through his research, Nicholas hopes to improve search engines’ capabilities, which will in turn improve access to information. Pickering student awarded as Young Scientist This year, more than 1,500 young scientists were chosen to compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. They were selected from 446 affiliate fairs in 70 coun- tries. More than 400 finalists received awards and prizes for their groundbreaking work, including 17 Best of Category winners who each received a $5,000 prize and a $1,000 grant to each winner’s school and to the affiliated fair they repre- sent. “We support the Intel International Science and Engineer- ing Fair because we know that math and science are impera- tive to future global growth,” said Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation. “This competition encour- ages millions of students to engage their skills for innovation and develop promising solutions for global challenges.” For more information about the event, visit www.society- forscience.org. sabrina byrnes / metroland PICKERING -- Pickering student Nicholas Schiefer received a Young Scientist Award of $50,000 from the Intel international science fair.

Dr. Moustafa El-Gindy, associate professor in the faculty of engineering and applied science at the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy, is heading up one of 40 research and devel- opment projects in the automotive industry that received a significant amount of funding recent- ly. Canada’s automotive research program, the AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence, is investing $22 million in the 40 projects. The fed- eral government is providing $10 million, and the remaining $12 million will come from Canada’s automotive sector. Dr. El-Gindy’s project, valued at $515,770, will develop new protection devices for side crashes involving passenger vehicles and large trucks. He explains in a press release the research focuses on two streams of improving side under- ride collision safety. “First is the development of passive guards to act as a physical barrier to an automobile wedg- ing under a commercial vehicle,” he says. “Second is the development of automobile safety mecha- nisms such as pre-emptive deployment of airbags in a collision through the use of wireless and sen- sor technologies.” The project also involves Volvo Group Trucks Technology, the Canada Foundation for Innova- tion, the Government of Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, the University of Regina and the Concordia Centre for Advanced Vehicle Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal. Durham university team to make driving safer> Durham residents urged to conserve water this summer DURHAM -- An unusually warm, dry spring has Region of Durham officials calling on local resi- dents to conserve water. Residents are asked to observe odd-even day lawn watering, which is mandatory under a region- al bylaw from May through September. That means you should water only on odd calen- dar days if your home address is an odd number or on even days if your address is an even number. “If we experience a hot, dry summer, we may have to consider mandatory water restrictions,” says Greg Lymer, the Region’s manager of techni- cal support. Residents can also conserve water by only water- ing grass when necessary. A healthy lawn requires 2.5 centimetres -- or one inch -- of water per week, including rainfall. Free rain gauges are available from the Region. For more information, visit www.durham.ca/ waterconservation or call 1-800-372-1102.

JUNE 16th AJAX -- A cop who stopped a speeding car Tues- day night in Ajax wound up seizing a significant quantity of cocaine, Durham police said. Several charges have been laid against the driver of the rental car, who is accused of offer- ing a phoney licence when asked by the officer to identify himself. The incident began at about 11:45 p.m. when the officer pulled over a speeding Chevrolet sedan and asked for a driver’s licence, police said. The officer was given a licence that proved to be a forgery, police said. A search of the vehi- cle uncovered more than 100 grams of crack and powder cocaine valued at more than $10,000, police said. Also seized were four cellphones and more than $6,700 in cash. Kyle Innocent, 25, of no fixed address, faces several charges including drug possession, pos- session for the purpose of trafficking, uttering a forged document and driving under suspen- sion. Ajax traffic stop leads to big drug bust Brad Kelly - Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com SportsSports OFSAA Watch Mixed bag of results for Pickering at OFSAA Track-and-field, soccer and rugby teams compete AJAX -- Pickering High School teams and athletes had a mixed bag of results at vari- ous OFSAA championships. On the team front, the school’s 41 track- and-field athletes registered a measure of success, as the boys’ team won the overall points championship for the fourth year in a row at the meet in Brockville. It marks the ninth time in the school’s history that the team has won the banner. The girls’ team placed fifth after winning the title three years running. The banner won by the boys’ team raises the total to 13 track-and-field titles for the school in its history. The school is expecting to send another strong contingent to next year’s provincial championships in Oshawa. At the AAAA boys’ soccer champion- ships in Brantford, Pickering, seeded 13th among the 16 teams, advanced through to the playoff round before their tournament came to an end. In pool play, Pickering finished first after wins of 4-0 over Westdale, 1-0 over Michael Power and 4-2 against Sir John A. MacDon- ald. In the quarter-finals they were out- scored 4-1 by John Paul II. At the girls’ AAA/AAAA rugby champi- onships in Ottawa, Pickering were seeded 16th, pitting them against the No. 1-seeded Barrie Central in the opening game, result- ing in a 57-0 loss. Dropping to the conso- lation side, they beat Cardinal Newman 29-19, but lost in the semifinals 15-7 to Streetsville. BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School boys’ and girls’ soccer teams both won silver medals in AAAA soc- cer at OFSAA this year. The boys lost 3-0 to St. Edmund at Brantford, while the girls lost to Holy Trinity on penalty kicks after the game finished 0-0 at Oakville. Double silver for St. Mary Both boys and girls finish second at OFSAA PICKERING -- Both the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams at St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School turned in golden performanc- es in the gold medal soccer games at the OFSAA championships. Unfortunately, they had to settle for sil- ver at the medal presentations. Both teams advanced through the round robin and playoffs to the gold medal game, the boys falling 3-0 to the defending pro- vincial champion St. Edmund Campion in Brantford, while the girls lost 1-0 on sud- den-death penalty kicks in Oakville to the host from Holy Trinity. “We had two shots at a gold medal. Silver is great, but obviously we’re a little disap- pointed we didn’t win. I thought we were good enough to win both championships,” said head coach Scott McDavid, who had a busy weekend travelling back and forth between Brantford and Oakville trying to attend as many games as he could. That little venture came to an end when both the boys and girls reached the semi- finals and then finals, with both games being played at the same time. The boys rolled through St. John’s Col- lege 3-1, Bill Crothers 2-0 and tied Lisgar 1-1 in the round robin. They continued their march to gold with a 3-0 blanking of St. Anne’s in the quarter-final and doubled Michael Power 4-2 in the semi. In the gold medal game, St. Edmund scored once just before half, and added two more late as St. Mary were pressing and gambling trying to get the equalizer. McDavid said the 3-0 final score wasn’t indicative of the game, as St. Mary hit a crossbar and post, and had half a dozen scoring chances inside the 18-yard box. “They were disappointed. They knew they could have won the game,” he said of his team. “It could have been 3-0 for us, but that’s just the way the bounces went. “I’m still a little bit disappointed. I don’t know how the boys feel.” The team was faced with some adversi- ty just an hour before the final, as starting goalkeeper Carmelo Cammisuli had to go to the hospital after experiencing an aller- gic reaction, forcing junior keeper Spiro Koskinas into service. For the girls, they lived and ultimately died on penalty kicks this season. They won the LOSSA championship and qual- ified for OFSAA by winning on penalty kicks. They couldn’t duplicate that magic in Oakville after playing to a scoreless tie through regulation and overtime in the gold medal game against Holy Trinity. After the teams were tied 3-3 in a round of five each penalty kicks, the game was decided in a sudden-death format, with Holy Trinity scoring on their chance and St. Mary coming up empty. “(Holy Trinity) were on the defensive most of the game. We had lots of shots, we just weren’t finishing. That’s why we were so disappointed to go to penalty kicks,” said Melanie Cayford, who, along with junior coach Gillian Ginesi, took the helm in McDavid’s absence while he was with the boys. “There were a few tears on the bench, but by the time the medals were around their neck they knew they should be proud of the fact we were silver medallists.” The girls beat Notre Dame 2-1, Waterloo Collegiate 1-0 and Banting Memorial 3-0 to finish first in their pool in round-robin play. In the playoffs, they edged St. Anne 2-1 in the quarter-finals, and emerged 2-1 over Bill Crothers in overtime of the semifi- nal, the winning goal coming at the begin- ning of the second of two overtime halves. > du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP > RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND DURHAM -- Xavier King represented Pickering High School in the steeplechase at the OFSAA track and field champion- ships. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 17 P The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York have jointly initiated a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA)to identify the preferred solution for addressing the future capacity limitations of the existing outfall at the Duffin Creek W ater Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).The first Public Information Forum held in May 2011 provided information on the Class EA process and background information on the study.In order to provide further information on the initial screening of alternatives,the evaluation criteria being considered for the impact assessment and to receive input from interested persons, Durham and York Regions will be holding Public Information Forum (PIF)#2 as follows: Date:Tuesday June 26,2012 Time:Open House from 5 p.m.to 8 p.m. Formal presentation at 6:30 p.m. Location:Pickering Recreation Complex,Meeting Room 1 &2 (second floor), 1867 Valley Farm Road,Pickering,ON (parking located at the front of the building) (Note another PIF will be taking place at McLean Community Centre in Ajax,June 27th) If you require accommodations to fully participate in this meeting please contact Durham Region at 905-668- 7711 ext.3840 with your specific requirements.

Kostka a Calder Cup champ NORFOLK -- The dream season ended with the prize of all prizes for Mike Kostka and the Norfolk Admirals. Kostka and the Admirals set professional hockey history with a 28-game regular season win- ning streak and then proceed- ed to roll through the American Hockey League playoffs, captur- ing the Calder Cup champion- ship Saturday afternoon follow- ing a four-game series sweep of the Toronto Marlies. Though a few days have passed since the whirlwind stopped for the Admirals, Kostka admits it’s still difficult to fathom all his team accomplished this year, from the record winning streak to a 16-3 playoff run culminating in the title. “It was a crazy run and now that we’re actually here we can look back and kind of enjoy it ... our focus was to win the Calder Cup. Our streak was great and all, but it wasn’t our goal by any means, but it’s fun to be able to relax now and look back at everything we accomplished,” he said earli- er this week in a phone interview from just outside of Norfolk. “I’m still kind of riding that high of how good it feels. There is always the relief when it’s over because of that battle you’ve been through. You go through a lot mentally and physically, but now looking back I am still kind of in it, but I am sure in the weeks and months to come, and years to come, more of it will set in because it still definitely feels surreal right now what we’ve done,” he adds. Kostka, who makes his off-sea- son home in Oshawa, played a big role in the Admirals’ march to the championship, scoring six goals and 12 points, while put- ting up a plus-14 rating through 18 playoff games. But like a majority of his team- mates, he saved his best for last in the Calder Cup final. In the series-clinching game, a 6-1 win at Ricoh Coliseum, Kost- ka scored twice, including what stood to be the game winner early in the second period. It was the second such time in the series that Kostka scored the decisive goal for his team. The other came in shocking fashion. Scoreless into overtime of Game 3, Kostka stunned every onlooker with a controversial game-winning goal just before the midway mark, as he fired the puck into the Marlies zone on a delayed offside and watched as John Wright / Courtesy of norfolk AdmirAls TORONTO -- Former Ajax-Pickering Raider Mike Kostka hoisted the Calder Cup after helping the Norfolk Admirals win the American Hockey League championship over the Toronto Marlies. By shawn cayley scayley@durhamregion.com it bounced off one of the glass stanchions and caromed into the empty net that was vacated by Toronto goalie Ben Scrivens, who was anticipating a chance to play the puck behind the net. “Just totally bizarre, a totally innocent play and something that probably happens at least 20 times a game, rimming pucks in around the glass and trying to keep it away from the goalie,” said the former Ajax-Pickering minor hockey product when asked to go back through the goal. “That’s why I put it up on the glass. Obvi- ously I had no intentions on hav- ing it bounce off the stanchion like that and go in. I was in just as much disbelief as everyone else.” While he did see it go into the net, Kostka wasn’t sure of things until his Admirals teammates came barrelling off the bench to mob him in celebration. “I don’t think we’re going to see something like that happen again, especially in a game of that magnitude,” he added. The Admirals were to have a parade through Norfolk in cele- bration on Wednesday and Kost- ka said he’ll spend a little more time down there before return- ing home for the summer. Panthers part of OJHL divisional re-alignment for 2012-2013 season Pickering in East Division of 23-team league DURHAM -- The Pickering Pan- thers and Whitby Fury will have to make some adjustments to a new look the Ontario Junior Hockey League will have next season. At the league’s annual general meeting, it was announced there will be conference re-align- ment for the 2012-2013 season. Pickering and Whitby will be in the East Division with Cobourg, Kingston, Trenton and Welling- ton. They will be joined in one conference by the North Divi- sion, comprising Aurora, Lind- say, Markham, Newmarket and Stouffville. The other conference will be composed of the South Divi- sion (Mississauga, North York, Oakville, Toronto Jr. Canadiens and Toronto Lakeshore Patriots) and the West Division (Buffalo, Burlington, Georgetown, Ham- ilton, Milton and Orangeville). The regular season will feature a 55-game schedule, with each team playing 27 home games, 27 road games and one Governors’ Showcase game against a con- ference opponent. Also restructured for 2012-13 is the OJHL playoff format, which will now see the top eight clubs in each conference continue on to post-season play. The top two seeds in each conference will be given to each division’s first- place finisher. The preliminary round from past seasons will now be eliminated and all series will be a best-of-seven format. > >Defenceman helps Norfolk Admirals to American Hockey League title du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP JIM WITTER - FEELING GROOVY A Musical Journey of the 60’s through the music ofSIMON & GARFUNKEL REGENT THEATRE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE Friday June 15, 2012, 8 p.m. Tickets $39.00 plus tx/sc • www.regenttheatre.ca 905-721-3399 Ext.2 • 50 King St. E.

The Canadian junior men’s national team will be looking to make it the third time in a row they have medaled in this event. The event serves as a qualifier for the 2013 FIBA world U19 champion- ship for men, which will be held in the Czech Republic. For Canada to qualify, it wills need to reach the semifinals in the FIBA Americas U18 championship. Canada has qualified for the last three FIBA world U19 championships and is currently ranked fifth in the FIBA boys’ world rankings. Keane is a six-foot-one guard from Ajax who attended Christian Faith Cen- tre Academy in North Carolina. Reyn- olds is also a guard. The six-foot-four Pickering resident is a Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School student. “Team selection for the junior men’s national team was extremely challeng- ing, with the abundance of talented players that Canada currently has to choose from,” said assistant GM/execu- tive vice-president of the senior men’s program, Rowan Barrett. “We have selected a team to represent Canada that we believe will give Canada the best opportunity to qualify in Brazil for the 2013 FIBA U19 world championships. “Our junior men’s national team has had a phenomenal training camp and are now expecting to continue our suc- cess at the age-group level of competi- tion,” added Barrett. Canada has been placed in Group B and will open play against Puerto Rico on June 16 (3 p.m. EDT), followed by Colombia on June 17 (7 p.m. EDT) and Argentina on June 18 (3 p.m. EDT).
