The buzz about bees
SCUGOG -- Susan Chan has been study-
ing bees and other native pollinators.
She will be setting up a pilot project to
encourage native pollinators, such as
ground-nesting bees, to thrive and in turn
pollinate crops for a bountiful harvest. The
project will be at Lunar Rhythm Gardens
farm near Port Perry. Native pollinators
include more than 400 species of bees
and flies.

P New funding
strategy poses
huge challenge
for Durham
Children’s Aid
Multi-year formula
comes with steep
reductions
MOYA DILLON
mdillon@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Changes are coming for Dur-
ham Children’s Aid Society as the organi-
zation struggles to balance its budget in
the face of shrinking funding.
A new funding formula for children’s aid
societies across the province is shifting
away from historical expenditures to look
at need.
“The new funding formula looks at the
socio-economic factors in a community
that would impact families,” said Wanda
Secord, executive director of Durham Chil-
dren’s Aid.
The new formula, which came into effect
in April, calculates funding based half on
socioeconomic factors such as the popu-
lation of children under 15, and the num-
ber of single parent and low-income fam-
ilies in a community, and half on histori-
cal expenditures, compared to a previous
funding formula based 100 per cent on his-
torical expenditures.
“What that has meant for Durham is
there is less funding coming in because
the number of children in the community
is flatlining or even declining,” Ms. Secord
said.
“Over the next couple years we will be
receiving two per cent less per year based
on those factors, which will see us receiv-
ing significantly less funding than we did
even back in 2009-2010. By the time the
new funding formula rolls out completely
we will have a budget reduced by nearly
$10 million.”
Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson said the
new funding formula puts the focus on
child welfare.
“The new formula focuses on clear
accountability and ensures that child wel-
fare remains the priority,” he wrote in an
e-mail after the News Advertiser phoned
him for comment.
“Funding will be allocated based on need
by measuring volume of activity and com-
munity factors -- not on historical pro-
jections. The decision was guided by the
advice of the Commission to Promote Sus-
tainable Child Welfare, and has come from
discussions with the Ministry (of Children
and Youth Services) and the children’s aid
societies across the province.”
For Durham, reduced funding means
taking a hard look at services and cutting
expenditures wherever possible, including
the elimination of 10.4 staff positions and
a greater emphasis on providing care for
children in their homes.
“Keeping children and youth at home
and safe with their families is our ultimate
goal,” Ms. Secord said, noting there is a
cost savings to keeping children at home
and out of care.
“Over 90 per cent of our cases involve
working with children and youth in their
family home. But the needs of the child are
paramount, their placement must meet
their needs first and foremost.”
The organization will receive $1.3 mil-
lion less in funding for the 2013/2014 year,
compared to net expenditures of $69 mil-
lion the previous year.
“We’re looking very closely at how we’re
delivering service and it’s going to mean
changes because we have to budget to the
new funding every year,” Ms. Secord said.
“I think as we go forward it will become
more and more challenging and we will
really have to look at what are the services
we can provide, we may not be able to offer
some programs we are currently offering.”
Ms. Secord said the organization may
have to depend more on community part-
ners to help offset the reductions. While
she sees the funding formula as a “huge
challenge” for Durham, Ms. Secord said
staff will be doing their best to work within
the new parameters.
“We are committed to continuing our
dialogue with the Ministry, implementing
the changes and balancing the budget but
we also certainly need to be responsive to
the needs of children and families in our
community. The bottom line is that we are
expected to do significantly more -- more
complex work with greater expectations --
with significantly less funding.”

APFuture of downtown
Pickering
bright
Study fleshes out plans
for downtown growth
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Residents are getting a glimpse
into the future of Pickering with the comple-
tion of a plan to manage downtown growth.
On July 2 residents viewed designs and
plans for Pickering’s future growth dur-
ing an open house for the City’s Downtown
Pickering Intensification Study.
“This study has been the culmination of
17 months of enhanced public engagements
and work by strategists, consultants and staff
to create a plan for downtown investment
and growth to 2031 and in fact beyond that,”
said Catherine Rose, acting director of plan-
ning for Pickering.
The completed study outlines goals for how
to manage the growth of downtown Pickering,
including creating a cultural and institution-
al hub, maintaining public spaces including
large and small parks and green areas, creat-
ing distinguished gateways to the downtown
area at key entry points such as Kingston and
Liverpool Roads, creating a transit hub and
enhancing connectivity for transit, pedestri-
ans, cyclists and drivers and offering new des-
tinations with the construction of elements
such as a hotel and convention centre and a
Durham West Arts Centre. “This is important
in that it provides a framework for the City to
manage and direct investment, growth and
placemaking as the downtown evolves,” said
Melanie Hare, a consultant with Urban Strat-
egies Inc., who helped prepare the study.
“We identified several key elements to the
vision, which were to reinforce the down-
town as the heart and soul of Pickering, make
downtown highly walkable, encourage a mix
of land uses to create vitality at all times of
the day, develop an exceptional public realm
such as you have now in Esplanade Park, offer
distinct living options, leverage transit invest-
ment, create bold entry-points, be a model
for design excellence and sustainability and
make downtown a great place to live, work
and shop.”
Carmelina Carrington, who came out to the
open house with her five-year-old daughter,
was happy to see an emphasis on parks and
public spaces in the plan.
“She’s excited about the parks, she loves her
parks so it’s good they’re fixing it,” Ms. Car-
rington said of her daughter. “It’s good for me
but mainly for her, anything that’s free and
easy to get to is welcome.”
Ms. Hale stressed to councillors that the
study was not set in stone, but provides a
guiding framework that still allows City staff
the adaptability to respond to opportunities
for development or investment in the down-
town.

downtown.
Key points
• Today, about 5,000 people live and 5,000 peo-
ple work in downtown Pickering.
• The growth plan aims to accommodate an
additional 8,300 people and 8,700 jobs by 2031,
for residents to jobs ratio of 1:1.
• The vision statement for the plan states that
“downtown Pickering will be a vibrant, sustain-
able, accessible and distinct city centre for all
people and all seasons. It will be a place to
inspire, a place to gather, a place to work, and
a place to live, all in a compact and walkable
environment.”
• The plan focuses on six distinct sectors in the
downtown: The Avenues, encompassing Kings-
ton and Liverpool roads, Valley Farm Neigh-
bourhoods, the Civic District, including City Hall,
Esplanade Park and the Pickering Recreation
Centre, South Downtown, located south of the
401, Pickering Town Centre and West Down-
town, located west of Liverpool Road.
• The plan focuses on eight key elements: the
Civic District as the downtown’s cultural and
institutional hub, creating an extraordinary pub-
lic realm of parks and public spaces, creating
distinct gateways to the downtown, creating a
defined transit hub, extending Pickering Park-
way, having distinct tall buildings along the 401,
achieving enhanced connectivity through new
roads and bridges and creating new destina-
tions to support an enhanced range of activities
within the sector.

Driver pulled
from burning car
in Durham
Passing motorists,
including Pickering
native, came to man’s aid
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Passing motorists pulled an
unconscious man from his burning vehicle
after a crash on a busy Whitby street during
Monday morning’s rush hour.
The 47-year-old Whitby man, whose iden-
tity hasn’t been released, was in critical con-
dition after a heart attack, Durham police
said after the 6:51 a.m. crash. Cops credited
the actions of passing motorists who rushed
to the victim’s aid and pulled him from the
Jeep as fire broke out in the engine compart-
ment.
Three of those passersby who spoke to
the News Advertiser said they didn’t hesitate
when they came upon the scene of the crash,
near the intersection of Brock Street and
Dryden Boulevard.
“In my world, I would hope everyone would
pull over,” said Andrea Stevens, who was on
her way to work when she encountered the
scene.
“The guy obviously needed help,” said Ms.
Stevens, 41. “You don’t have a whole lot of
time to think about it when it’s going on.
“I saw the car hit the pole and I saw the
wires swinging like skipping ropes,” she said.
Tafari Van Rossum, an insurance broker
who works in Toronto, was driving his chil-
dren, aged 2 and 5, to daycare when he saw
the smashed Jeep. As he rushed to the driv-
er’s aid, he was joined by Ms. Stevens and
18-year-old Dylan Clark, who was driving
by with his girlfriend and also pulled over to
help. “He was out cold,” Mr. Van Rossum said
of the driver. “His eyes were literally rolled
back.”
The good Samaritans carefully extricated
the man from the vehicle and placed him on
the ground. Following instructions of a 911
operator, they began CPR, but had to move
the victim when the fire intensified.
“There was no pulse in his wrist, no pulse
on his neck,” Mr. Van Rossum said.
“He was in bad condition,” Mr. Clark
offered. “I thought he was dead.”
Paramedics arrived and took over resusci-
tation efforts. The stricken driver was rushed
from the scene to hospital.
“He was dead,” Ms. Stevens said. “They
revived him.”
It was only after the initial rush of adrena-
line-fuelled energy that the civilian rescuers
were able to assess the situation into which
they’d thrown themselves.
“I was just glad to help out,” Mr. Van Ros-
sum said.
A native of Pickering, he’s lived in Whitby
since 2006. “It’s a nice, tight-knit communi-
ty,” he said. “People are friendly.”
Mr. Clark said he simply saw the need to
assist. “No one else was stopping,” he said.
It’s not the first time the Oshawa man has
stepped in during an emergency. A few years
ago, he said, he came to the aid of a woman
in medical distress at a restaurant.
Ms. Stevens credited Mr. Van Rossum with
staying calm and assuming the lead role in
Monday’s rescue effort.
“He was amazing,” she said. “He was the
one who took charge.”
But Mr. Van Rossum said he was just one of
a number of people who came to the aid of a
neighbour in need.
“We did it as a team effort,” he said.

Brian Roy will appear
in court July 19
DURHAM -- The head of Durham Region’s legal
department has been charged with impaired driving
offences.
Brian Roy was charged by Durham Regional Police
on June 25 with impaired operation of a vehicle and
exceeding the 80 milligram limit. He was released on
an undertaking and he’ll appear in court on July 19.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson confirmed Mr.
Roy was charged, but refused to comment on any
actions that may take place.
“We wouldn’t talk about internal (personnel) mat-
ters,” Mr. Anderson said.
He did confirm Mr. Roy is still employed by Durham.
Sherri Munns, the director of corporate communi-
cations for Durham, said in a statement, “We do not
speak to employees’ personal legal matters. He is an
employee of the Region and beyond that, we will not
c o m m e nt.”

The lessons learned from rail tragedies
An experienced CN
rail employee was killed
nearly two years ago to
the day in Pickering while
doing necessary track
work when he was struck
by a passing train.
A procedure routinely used the day Rick
McColl was killed, called “safety watch”,
has since been suspended by CN officials
with every likelihood that the suspen-
sion will become permanent, all as a con-
sequence of Mr. McColl’s untimely and
unnecessary death.
The incident prompted a detailed inves-
tigation into the circumstances surround-
ing the accident, the protocols that were
in place and others that could have been
made available, and resulted in timely
and necessary changes to safety practic-
es.
In the simplest terms, CN officials took
important lessons from Mr. McColl’s trag-
ic death and are applying them in a bid to
ensure no one else loses their life in simi-
lar circumstances.
On a much larger scale, the derailment
and explosion in Quebec on the weekend
has raised several questions from which
new policies will be born, new directives
implemented and new safety practices
ordered. A huge swath of Lac Megantic’s
downtown no longer exists, and 40 of its
residents are unaccounted for after the
driverless train cars derailed and explod-
ed.
Even as officials move feverishly from
putting down the massive fire to begin-
ning the cleanup, the questions have
started quickly piling up.
Was it faulty brakes that started the train
cars on their driverless journey from near-
by Nantes towards Lac Megantic? Did gov-
ernment cutbacks contribute in any way?
Was it a result of human error? Sabotage?
How safe is it to transport crude oil over-
land via rail versus pipeline?
All of these questions will be answered
in time and, hopefully, policies will be
introduced to ensure it never happens
again. That’s small comfort to the families
of Lac Megantic’s victims, most of whom
were last seen at what was the epicentre
of the tanker explosions. It won’t undo the
carnage, or relieve the horror, or erase the
grief, to be sure, but it must lead to greater
safety.
Work days are now safer in Durham
Region for rail workers due to changes
made as a result of one man’s death. It’s
early days yet in the Quebec tragedy, but
even from the depths of this disaster, les-
sons will be learned and implemented for
the greater good.
In praise of Durham
Community Care
To the editor:
My wife, Pam, passed away recently, hav-
ing suffered breast cancer for many years.
Because she was bedridden and too weak
to get around, it was arranged for Durham
Community Care group to come and help.
The manager who co-ordinated the visits
was Sandy Kennedy. She arranged for a pal-
liative care doctor and a nurse who some-
times came every day to check on Pam.
There was also a therapist who ensured
that Pam had sufficient safety in the house,
handles to get into the bath and a stool to
sit on. They supplied us with a commode,
oxygen, a hospital bed if we wanted it. It was
also arranged for a lady to come and help
Pam wash herself, and to help with house-
cleaning and laundry to give us a break.
There was also a lady from the welfare side.
All of these people were kind and in tune
with the suffering and stress Pam was going
through. My son and I were very well looked
after in the way of help, comfort and friend-
ship. Many people in Ontario are always
wondering where their tax dollars go, well
this is where they go, and I think this organi-
zation should be praised for the work they
do. At home with was where Pam wanted to
be, and we were there when she left us.

New website starting
to take shape
It’s been two fun-filled weeks since we
rolled out our new web page design at dur-
hamregion.com.
Most who have been part of a design
rollover can relate when I say it’s been a bit
of a roller-coaster ride -- many ups, some
downs but we’re getting there.
The big positive from where I sit is an
upgrade to the commenting process. When
you find a comment in bad taste, all you
have to do is click the ‘mark as offensive’
button to trigger an e-mail to our newsroom
where an editor will review the comment.
If the editor agrees the comment is
offensive, he will archive the comment and
in many cases e-mail the offending com-
menter to explain why the comment was
archived. We hope this will help keep the
conversations productive and respectful.
We have already noticed that a number
of readers simply click ‘offensive’ if they
disagree with a comment. That’s not what
the button is there for. Differing opinions
are encouraged and should be respected.
Comments deemed offensive would include
discriminatory comments about race, sexu-
ality or gender; offensive language including
swearing and name-calling; and comments
that are defamatory -- if you can’t prove it,
don’t say it. We’ve asked the site designers
for ‘Agree’ and ‘Disagree’ buttons that will
give you an opportunity to weigh in without
hitting the ‘offensive’ button.
In the coming weeks we will be drafting
our Be a Good Neighbour guidelines: the
rules that will guide site users and editors in
keeping conversations respectful.
We will be publishing a four-page guide
to durhamregion.com shortly that explains
our new event listings service and provides
helpful hints on using site search.
It’s a work in progress, so please keep
those helpful suggestions rolling in.

I DON’T CARE
Be nice, or risk
a visit from the
man with the can
Like most people, I don’t have much love
for mosquitoes. I am, with the exception
of telemarketers and reality TV producers,
generally reverential of all life forms, but
this time of year the Buddhist in me finds
himself stuffed in the back trunk of my mind
with his peace-loving yap duct-taped shut.
I happily swat the little bastards with aban-
don.
My relationship with nature, rightly or
wrongly, has always been a kind of quid pro
quo situation. A favour for a favour. If you
don’t bother me, I won’t bother you. And I
like to think of myself as a very patient man.
I have been known to gently escort spiders
out of my home, placing them tenderly and
safely in the garden with the reminder that I
won’t mess with your web if you don’t mess
with mine. I have never considered my
higher rank on the food chain as any kind of
licence to wreak havoc on those below me.
I try to see the big picture. Share the plan-
et, respect the biosphere, take only pictures,
leave only footprints and all that touchy-
feely jazz.
But if you bite me...all bets are off.
When my children were younger they, of
course, fell under the protectorate of this
caveat as well. As a happy, carefree child of
seven, my youngest son was stung by a wasp.
There was nothing ‘natural’ in this at all. It
was an act of insect bullying, pure and sim-
ple. The boy was doing no more than walk-
ing along by the side of the cottage when the
winged brute swooped down and, in a fla-
grant display of the worst form of unsports-
manlike conduct, tagged him just behind
his cute little ear.
Had the lad been teasing, threatening or
harassing the wasp or his people in any way
then I would’ve said fair enough, game on,
the kid had it coming and a lesson needed
to be learned. This was clearly not the case,
however. The thing is, Mother Nature is as
perfectly capable of creating jerks in the ani-
mal kingdom as she is among the ranks of
homo sapiens. Who’s to say there aren’t thug
earthworms out there spoiling for a fight?
Pandas with huge chips on their shoulders?
Wasps who like to sting just because they
have a stinger?
And, in a sense, I don’t blame them. If I
had stinger, I imagine I would be tempted
to use it as well. What boy wouldn’t? Give a
kid a pellet gun and sooner or later he will
want to shoot at something that says ouch
when it gets hit. That doesn’t, however,
absolve untoward behaviour. At least not in
my books...or with my kids. My retribution,
in this case, was swift and harsh. There fol-
lowed a scorched earth campaign involving
an aerosol container of something which
has probably been banned since then, that
is, even to this day, spoken of in hushed
tones around wasp dinner tables. Wasp par-
ents warn their misbehaving children that if
they don’t shape up ‘the man with the can’
will come.
I am not terribly proud of my hand in what
amounted to a Wasp Gettysburg that day,
but neither am I ashamed. I could explain
my actions by saying that I was protecting
my young. Ensuring the continuation of
my DNA. Survival of the fittest. But I prefer
a simpler, older explanation. An apology
that has been around since our ancestors
crawled out of the primordial ooze and got
stung: “He started it.”

BEHIND THE LENS
I was taking pictures at Lynde Shores Conservation
Area when I came across this gaggle of geese. The
older geese kept a close eye on me while the gos-
lings looked for food. I like the way the young ones
are framed by the older geese.

Poll Let’s Talk
Durham residents who commute on a daily
basis had plenty to say about the news -- or
lack thereof -- regarding a wider 401:
Commuters weigh in on
lack of widening plans
for Highway 401...
Kim Young: Think about
the $ the Liberals blew on
gas plant cancellations and
Ornge scandal etc. How
much of our WASTED TAX
MONEY could have been used to fix and
maintain our infrastructure as it was meant
to be...
Bob Kesic: Frankly I actual-
ly enjoy the one-way 2-hour
commute every day, I now
welcome any of the decision
makers to join me in my com-
mute ( I will drive) so they can experience
what it is like to spend 4 hours of your day
on the 401. Any takers?
Louis Bertrand: Why do we
have to commute? It’s an
insane way to live.
Heather Brennan-Carson:
Liberals act like a cattle busi-
ness...guess who the cows
are? Just milk us for every-
thing they can and give us
nothing but debt while they
use the money they take from hard work-
ing Canadians. Where’s Robin Hood when
you need him?????
Mark Morissette: It seems
pretty clear that none of
these officials from the prov-
ince who are suggesting that
we don’t have a congestion
issue that would justify wid-
ening the highway at this point haven’t
regularly driven on this stretch of road.
The ramps are a mess everywhere (too
short, and why does Brock Street have
two westbound on ramps? It just destroys
traffic flow), and Courtice really needs
another on ramp (westbound at least!) in
the Sandringham area to take the load off
the Bloor/Harmony debacle.
I’m glad they’re looking at things, but clear-
ly they need more input from those of us
who actually live here -- everyone should
be visiting that website and emailing com-
ments on the issue.
Scott Mckeagan: Clearly
the people making the deci-
sions do not drive on the 401
during morning rush hour...

DURHAM -- Albert Einstein once said that
if bees disappeared from earth, man would
follow four years later. He may or may not
be right, but who wants to find out?
Bees are small but mighty pollinators that
are responsible for one out of every three
bites of food you take, says Susan Chan.
She’s a pollination biologist for Farms At
Work, an independent, not-for-profit orga-
nization promoting healthy and active
farmlands in central east Ontario, includ-
ing Durham.
She’s hard at work to make sure our native
bees, already declining in numbers, don’t
disappear. With managed non-native hon-
eybee hives and native bumblebee popula-
tions hit hard by diseases, parasites, insec-
ticides and poor overwintering, native bees
play an increasingly important role in pol-
linating our crops.
In collecting the pollen and nectar that
they eat, bees get the pollen on themselves
and then transfer it to male and female
parts of plants, aiding reproduction.
Colourful fruits and vegetables rely on
pollinators for reproduction, Ms. Chan
says. Even meat and dairy production are
dependent on bees, as alfalfa, a big compo-
nent in hay (or feed) in Ontario, relies on
pollinators, she says.
“We don’t need bees to make hay but we
need bees to set the seed to grow the alfalfa
to make the hay,” she says.
Birds, rodents and bears also rely on bees
to pollinate the plants that produce the
seeds and fruit they eat.
“The implications are a lot larger than
human implications,” Ms. Chan says.
“We’re at a tipping point.”
Native bees are mostly solitary sorts that
live in tunnels in the ground, in pithy stems
or in holes in trees and other objects. Most
live only one sea-
son and don’t store
honey, make hives,
swarm or even sting.
Their range is about
200 metres for collecting pollen and nectar
from plants, she says.
“Their whole world can be your back-
yard,” she says.
“I think we can narrow (declining bee
populations) down to two things,” she says.
“One is insecticide and herbicides. Then
there’s a habitat problem.”
Herbicides kill plants that create the food
that bees eat. We are intent on getting rid of
flowering weeds (such as dandelions) but
bees depend on them for food, she says.
And wild, native bees and their larva are
especially sensitive to insecticides, she
said.
As for habitat, we’ve been eradicating
places bees use for their nests, Ms. Chan
says.
“There are no place for nests anymore
because we’re developing more and more
and more land. Our wild spaces are becom-
ing less and less,” she says.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Since
a ban on the cosmetic use of insecticides
and herbicides, urban areas are safer plac-
es for bees now, Ms. Chan says.
And there’s a movement by farmers and
city folk to help our native bees. Farms At
Work works with farmers to help create
habitat for bees on their properties.
One such farmer is Jessica Foote, of
Lunar Rhythm Gardens, a market garden
farm near Janetville. She and Ms. Chan are
designing a system that provides food for
bees in the flowering stage and produce in
the fruit stage for Ms. Foote, a new farmer
looking to FAW for expertise. They are hop-
ing to plant things
such as currants,
berries, asparagus
and rhubarb in the
fall, with help from
the Ontario Junior Farmers. Those plants
will attract bees which in turn will pollinate
the plants.
Once the system is in place and operat-
ing, Ms. Foote intends to share, giving out
plants and roots to other farmers to help
them get started with their own bee proj-
ect.
It’ll take time and money so donations
are welcome, Ms. Chan says.
Ms. Chan wants to work with Durham
farmers interested in the pollinator proj-
ect and is happy to talk to Durham groups
about pollinators.
Anyone interested in donating to Ms.
Foote’s project, arranging a pollination
presentation or discussing a possible proj-
ect with Ms. Chan is asked to contact her.
You can download Ms. Chan’s booklet
about native bees, A Landowner’s Guide to
Conserving Native Pollinators
in Ontario, paperworksdesign.ca/Client-
files/pollinator11-19-2012_web.pdf.

How to help bees
DURHAM -- For city, town and village folk,
it’s as easy as including in your garden a
variety of plants (annuals and perennials)
that blossom throughout the growing sea-
son. Buy heirloom varieties, since hybrids
often lose their ability to create nectar and
pollen. Some suggestions include cosmos,
sunflowers (not the pollenless kind), accord-
ing to Susan Chan.
“It’s a great family project. It’s low cost.
You don’t have to do it all in one year,” she
says.
Remember, most native bees don’t
sting.
You can find more information about bee
habitats and plantings at paperworksdesign.

You can also create nests for bees. It’s
easy for bees that live in the ground.
If you’ve got some level or slightly slop-
ing ground, get rid of vegetation in an area
from a few inches to a few feet. Compact soil
lightly. Make sure it’s in sunny, open, well-
drained area. That’s it. Now just wait for the
bees.
You can also do a sand pit by digging
a pit about two feet deep and filling it with
a mix of sand and loam. You can also fill a
flower planter box with this mix.

eastern Canada, about 300 of them vital for
pollination.
• All are experiencing population decline for
a variety of reasons.
• Types of bees in Ontario include orchard,
miner, sweat, bumble and leafcutters, alfalfa
leafcutters and hoary squash.

Pickering Cub Scout
William Carriere earns
perfect badge record,
completes all 63
PICKERING -- The 5th Pickering Cubs
offers a wealth of great opportunities, and
William Carriere, 10, took advantage of
every one by completing the work to earn
all 63 possible badges during his three
years with the group.
Do you have a favourite badge?
Not really, it would be hard to choose one
because they were all pretty fun to do.
What about a least favourite?
Probably the World Religion badge, that
one was pretty hard to do. It was more
work.
Did you set out a goal of getting all 63
badges?
My older brother Daniel got all his badges
and I wanted to be just like him so I was
really interested in the badges this year
since it was my last year.
What do you like about Cubs?
It’s really fun to do all the different activi-
ties. I especially like the sleep-overs we
get to do at places like the Ontario Sci-
ence Centre. Even just staying at the school
where we have our meetings (St. Elizabeth
Seton) is fun because there’s always a dif-
ferent theme. And the camps are really
good too. Since there’s so many things we
do I’ve learned a little bit about a lot of
things.
Do you plan to earn all your badges as a
scout as well?
Yes, I need to find a Scout group I want to
join first, but that’s the plan.

Beavers and Cubs contact gandcarm-

How colour schemes are born
Many people seem mystified as to how
a strong colour scheme is created.
Not knowing where to start, many nov-
ice decorators fall into one of two catego-
ries. Category one: “I have no inspira-
tion so I’ll go with safe neutrals. Beige on
beige on beige.” In the end their rooms
feel uninspired, flat, and without charac-
ter. Category two looks like this: “I have
so many inspirations but no focus so I
grab a little of this, a little of that and end
up with a hodgepodge.”In this case the
sofa might be bold, the carpet is too and
the artwork looks like it’s from another
world completely. There’s no cohesion
and the space feels noisy and confusing.
For me, colour schemes come from
some sort of inspiration. The simplest
way to find inspiration is through fab-
ric. Start with a cushion or swatch you
love and use it as a road map for the
rest of your scheme. I call these hero
fabrics and they are usually multi-
coloured patterns so that I have lots of
neutrals and accent colours to choose
from. Not every colour will be domi-
nant and some might only be used as
tiny accents, but if you use this meth-
od you can be sure that in the end the
colour scheme will be cohesive and
that you’ll like the results as much as
you like the inspirational hero fabric.
In the colour scheme seen here
(designed for a young boy’s bedroom)
the hero fabric has brown, pale blue, tan,
green, black, white and more. I used this
as a road map to not only find accent
fabrics for pillows, bedding and drapes,
but also wallpaper and paint colours for
furniture and accents pieces. The hero
fabric contains all of the colours I’ll use
and helps make sense of the various
colours and patterns by holding them
together in one prominent place.
So go ahead and give it a try –- start
with a hero fabric you love and build a
colour scheme you can be proud of.

recovering
Garage sale chairs become dining room divas
The best part about DIY furniture projects is the story
behind each piece.
Our dining room chairs came from a local garage sale.
My fiance and I were driving around town running errands
one afternoon when I spotted the beautifully arched
frames of some chairs that had definitely seen better days.
The chairs were crafted in the 1920’s which became all too
apparent when I set out to recover them and realized there
were no seat boards at all, only layer upon layer of old
scraps of cloth and straw to keep your caboose from falling
through.
What at first seemed a daunting task was actually very
straightforward and a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the pro-
cess as much as I did.
1. Turn the chair upside down and
remove the seat board (if it has
one, LOL) with a screwdriver, as
well as all the old fabric and sta-
ples. If the seat cushion is old and
uncomfortable, I suggest remov-
ing that as well and starting fresh.
2. Lightly sand down the chair
frame.
3. Apply one coat of primer and two coats of your chosen
paint colour. Let dry between each coat.
4. If, as in my case, the seat board is deteriorated or non-
existing, create a paper pattern for the seating area and cut
a new board from a sheet of plywood.
5. Cut foam, cotton batting and fabric using the seat board
as template. The foam should be 1⁄2 inch wider than seat
board all around, cotton batting should be two inches
wider and fabric should be four inches wider all around.
6. Spray fabric adhesive to one side of seat board. With the
foam sitting on your working surface, place the board on
top, adhesive side down. The adhesive will keep it from
sliding about.
7. Spray fabric adhesive on top of the foam and place the
cotton batting on top.
8. Pull cotton batting around edges of seat board and sta-
ple to the bottom, working from centre outwards.
9. Put your fabric, good side down, on your work surface.
Place the prepped seat board face down on top, centred
over your fabric.
10. Pull fabric around edges of seat board and staple to
bottom similar to cotton batting. Avoid a bulky corner by
folding in the fabric from the side first, fastening it, and
then folding down fabric coming from the front or back
and fastening it.
11. Attach recovered seat to chair frame with screws.

homeowner on a tight budget who finds do-it-yourself projects
fun and cost efficient.
Shopping list
Note: Keep your eye out for discounts at
your local fabric store. Most of these items
are sold per metre but I’ve worked out an
average cost per chair.
• Fabric = $4
• Cotton batting = $5
• 1-1/2” deep foam = $7
• Spray adhesive = $4
• Paint = $15
TOTAL COST PER CHAIR: $35

Durham Catholic
school board
passes
balanced
budget
Focuses include
technology, full-day
kindergarten
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board passed a balanced
budget at its recent board meeting.
Trustees passed the 2013-2014 budget
estimates in the amount of $277 million.
This includes salaries and benefits of
$202 million; a departmental operating
budget of $52 million; a total operating
budget of $254 million; and a non-oper-
ating budget of $23 million.
Focuses include reducing the reserve
reliance, continuing to expand the
board’s French Immersion programs
and rolling out full-day kindergarten,
and enhancing educational technology
opportunities.
“We are pleased to present a bud-
get that addresses
financial pressures
yet continues to
provide for new and
enhanced programs,
supports and ser-
vices,” said superin-
tendent of business
and chief financial
officer Ryan Putnam
in a press release.
He said in an
interview declin-
ing enrolment is one of the pressures.
The board is expecting a decline of 409
students, 325 of whom are in secondary
schools. This has a net financial impact
of around $818,000 after accounting for
the loss of per-pupil grant revenue and
adjusting the number of teachers and
other supports.
But this number is less than past years,
said Mr. Putnam, and it should soon
level off.
“The decline has really diminished in
terms of magnitude,” he said.
The decline has resulted in 23 second-
ary teachers losing their jobs. Mr. Put-
nam said through retirements and res-
ignations, the board has been able to
recall some of the teachers, who were
told about the possibility of losing their
jobs in March. Those who are not called
back will be offered long-term occasion-
al positions and first opportunities for
supply work, he said.
Twenty-two early childhood educators
will be hired for full-day kindergarten.
Overall, there will be a loss of five posi-
tions.
Some of the planned non-operating
expenses include $7.5 million to new
capital construction, $4 million towards
full-day kindergarten capital and $1.7
million to facility renewals.
Big operating expenses will include
$2.9 million to information and commu-
nication technology, and $6.4 million to
facilities services.
“On behalf of the board of trustees, I
commend director Paul Pulla and the
finance committee for their ongoing
leadership,” said board chairwoman
Karen Valentine in a press release.
She said Mr. Pulla’s stewardship of the
board’s strategic deficit reduction plan
over the last five years has allowed the
board to fulfill its student achievement
mandate while investing in program
enhancements, such as the pilot instru-
mental music program offered to ele-
mentary students.
As a tribute to Mr. Pulla for resurrect-
ing this program, the board established
the Paul Pulla Instrumental Music Fund.
Mr. Putnam explained the trustees have
agreed to put unused funds allotted in
their budget toward the program, which
works out to around $20,000 this year.

Ajax couple lose
fight to save
house in path
of Hwy. 407
extension
‘This is the end’, says
man after elderly couple
removed from home
by police
AJAX -- Andy Kapostins showed up at his
parents’ home in Ajax late Saturday morn-
ing to collect personal belongings from the
house he grew up in.
Soon it will be a pile of rubble.
After more than a two-year fight by Andy’s
father, Antons Kapostins, 90, to save the
home from demolition to make way for the
Hwy. 407 extension, the battle ended when
he and his wife were evicted July 5.
Andy says he’ll survive the loss. His elder-
ly and frail parents, however, are devastat-
ed after being removed from the home by
police, hours after Antons refused to leave.
“This is the end,” an irate Andy said after
speaking to two Durham Regional Police
officers. “They wanted to finish their last
days here. This was their home.”
Police told the younger Kapostins that
family members would be allowed entry
only once to retrieve any personal belong-
ings.
“You can’t keep coming in and out of the
house one at a time,” a female police officer
told Andy, who became visibly upset dur-
ing the five-minute conversation.
Escorted out on a stretcher Friday, the
elder Kapostins, 90, was in hospital Satur-
day. Kapostins’ wife, Gaida, 88, who used
a walker as she was led from the home by
police, was staying at a nearby residence.
It took police hours to get the couple to
leave the home. Antons said he wanted $9
million to do so, shooting down the latest
offer of $600,000 from the Ministry of Trans-
portation.
According to CTV News, police told
Antons they had to leave. His response was,
“If you want to take me out without paying
me $9 million, you shoot me here.”
Andy, a truck driver who had just returned
from a work trip to find his parents removed
from their home, doesn’t understand how
they were evicted without having reached
a settlement. “We haven’t seen a red cent
and they’re kicking us out?” he said, visibly
emotional. “It’s wrong.”
The battle to save the bungalow, which
Antons built with his own hands on their
5.3-hectare (13-acre) property, is almost
over.
Reaching a settlement is the last step that
will end the family’s legacy on the property.
However, Andy said if they don’t get a fair
offer from the government for the remain-
ing land (nearly the whole parcel) they’ll
keep it despite being told they won’t have
access to it.”
One offer was about $400,000 for the
expropriated land and $15,000 per acre
for the rest of the property, Andy added. “I
don’t care,” he said. “We’ll hold on to the
land if we have to. (His parents) won’t sell
until the get what they feel they deserve.”
The ministry said previously that it had
made repeated buyout offers, based on
three independent property appraisals, for
the land needed to reconstruct an inter-
change at Lakeridge Road and Hwy. 401.
The Kapostins house was the last of 342
properties needed for the first phase of
construction, which began this spring
and is expected to be completed by 2014.
The family purchased the land in 1962 for
$4,300.
--Torstar News Service
AJAX -- Ministry of Transportation officials, with assistance from Durham Regional
Police, were at the home of Ajax resident Antons Kapostins on July 5, trying to evict
the man from his home on Lakeridge Road to make way for Hwy. 407.

Durham man
accused of luring
child online
WHITBY -- A Whitby man who police
say poses online as a photographer and
modelling agent has been arrested for
luring a child.
Durham police want to hear from any-
one who may have had contact with the
suspect, who uses the online handle
“photoguy”.
It’s believed that he has ties to the
Kitchener area and may have been in
contact with young people in Nova Sco-
tia, Hamilton, Sudbury and B.C., police
said.
Members of Durham’s Internet Child
Exploitation unit investigated the sus-
pect for four months, posing online as a
14-year-old girl and engaging in conver-
sations with him.
Eventually the suspect arranged to
meet the person he took to be a teenaged
girl at a Whitby bus stop, police said.
Officers were waiting when a man
showed up at the meeting place at 7 a.m.
Thursday.
Later in the day police executed a
search warrant at a Whitby address and
seized a computer.
Kyle McLauchlan, 50, of Mary Street
East in Whitby is charged with five
counts of luring.

Pickering
to increase
community
engagement
PICKERING -- Pickering is taking steps
to ensure it stays in sync with the com-
munity by putting a greater focus on
engagement.
At a joint planning and development
and executive committee meeting on
July 2 councillors voted to approve a
new community engagement strate-
gy that includes training for staff, the
development of an introductory civics
course for residents, a review of citizen
advisory committees to widen partici-
pation, new public challenge competi-
tions, a comprehensive annual report to
residents and more.
“I think you’ve put together a really
good report on the whys, wheres and
hows as to how to get more communi-
ty engagement,” said Councillor Peter
Rodrigues, noting community engage-
ment is not only one of the City’s five
corporate priorities, but also a personal
priority.
“One of my personal priorities is try-
ing to get more people involved and car-
ing about their city,” said the councillor,
who often visits area retirement homes
to provide presentations on municipal
government and explain how the city
works. He recently had his car wrapped
with his name and title in an effort to
“be more accessible” to constituents.
“There are 95,000 people in this city
and I’d like to see more people involved
in more things and I think this is a road
map and sets a very good stage for pro-
ceeding on that basis.”
The report will come back to council at
its meeting on July 8 for a final vote.

AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254
AJAX -- Ajax Ironheads’ Patrick Morgan took a spill while trying to keep a handle on the ball, during Game 2 of the best-of-three
series in Jr. B lacrosse opening round playoff series against the Clarington Green Gaels at the Ajax Community Centre. The Green
Gaels defeated the Ironheads 9-4 on Sunday to sweep the series. Sabrina byrneS / Metroland
Ironheads get swept
brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Anytime the top seed plays the
eighth seed in the opening round of the play-
offs, a short series is expected.
That was the case when the first-place
Clarington Green Gaels faced the eighth-
place Ajax Ironheads, but the way the games
played out was a little different. With a num-
ber of Ajax players having ties to the Green
Gaels, the stakes are always a little higher
when the two meet.
Regardless, the Green Gaels took care of
business, sweeping the best-of-three Jr. B
East Conference quarter-final series in two
straight with wins of 13-9 at the Rickard Rec-
reation Complex in Bowmanville on Satur-
day night, and 9-4 on Sunday afternoon at
the Ajax Community Centre.
“They are going to play us tough because
they have so many of our kids,” said Green
Gaels coach Jason Crosbie. “It wasn’t neces-
sarily a one versus eight matchup.”
The series certainly didn’t look like a mis-
match in the opener, with the Ironheads
building a 5-2 lead early in the second peri-
od, but a run of six in a row by the Green
Gaels put them up 8-5, and they never
looked back.
In the second game on Sunday afternoon,
the Green Gaels took control early, leading
5-1 after the first period and 8-1 through
two.
“The Gaels beat us five times this year when
you add up the regular season and they are a
terrific ball team, but we played them tough,”
said Ironheads GM/head coach Ron Reed.
“We don’t mind playing the Gaels because it
makes us better every time we play them.”
Aside from the opening period of Game 1
and the third period of Game 2, Crosbie was
satisfied with the play of his team.
“There are some things we have to work
on. Other teams are doing some stuff we
have to figure out,” he said. “Other than that
it was just normal lacrosse that we played. I
think we executed the first two periods (of
Game 2) perfectly. That’s what you want in
the playoffs.”
The Green Gaels were led scoring-wise
in the series by Bennett Drake, who had six
goals, while Dylan Goddard matched that
total on a goal and five assists. Luke Laszkie-
wicz finished with five points on two goals
and three assists.
Mitch Robertson led the scoring for the
Ironheads with a goal and five assists. James
Malloy on three goals and two assists, and
Cam Mancini with two goals and three
assists were next in line.
The big story for the Ironheads was inju-
ries this season, with four regulars includ-
ing Brandon Morley, Adam Zulak, Thomas
Dannecker and Dakota Watson unavailable
for the playoffs. Another veteran, Dylan Hut-
ton, played in only the opening game.
“We had a ton of injuries this year. I’ve
never experienced a year quite like this for
injuries,” said Reed. “We lost a lot of people,
especially for playoffs, and guys in their last
year. Losing veterans on the floor makes a
difference.”
The Green Gaels will await the winner of
the series between Oakville and Mimico,
who were playing the third and deciding
game on Tuesday. Crosbie expects the con-
ference semifinals to begin on the weekend.

D.J. Smith
named an
assistant
coach for
Canada’s
U18 team
OSHAWA -- D.J. Smith has just lost part of
his summer, but you won’t hear him com-
plain about it.
Smith, who just completed his first sea-
son as head coach of the Oshawa Gener-
als, has been named as an assistant coach
of Canada’s national men’s summer
under-18 team for the 2013 Memorial of
Ivan Hlinka tournament.
He will work under head coach Dale
Hunter for the tournament, scheduled for
Aug. 5-10 in Breclav, Czech Republic and
Piestany, Slovakia. Hunter, coach of the
OHL champion London Knights, will also
have Halifax Mooseheads head coach
Dominique Ducharme as an assistant.
Smith, a 36-year-old Windsor native,
led the Generals to a 42-22-1-3 record in
2012-13, a 19-point improvement over
the previous season. Prior to joining the
Generals, he spent eight seasons with his
hometown Windsor Spitfires as an assis-
tant and associate coach, winning a pair
of Memorial Cups in 2009 and 2010.
Smith played junior hockey with the
Spitfires before a nine-year professional
career that including 45 NHL games with
the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado
Avalanche.
“We’re very proud of D.J.,” said Generals
general manager Jeff Twohey in a press
release. “He’s totally deserving of the
opportunity and will be a great addition
to the Hockey Canada under-18 staff. His
passion and knowledge will make him a
valuable part of the team.”
The potential players, who have yet to
be announced, will gather in Toronto for
a selection camp July 25-29 at the Master-
Card Centre. Canada has won the annual
summer tournament five years in a row
and 15 of the last 17 years.
Hockey Canada also announced the
coaching staff for the 2014 IIHF World
Junior Championship in Sweden. Brent
Sutter of the Red Deer Rebels will serve as
head coach for a third time, having pre-
viously won gold in 2005 and 2006, with
Benoit Groulx and Ryan McGill as assis-
tants.
Smith is the youngest of the six coaches
named to the two national teams.

Pickering Ajax
Cubs win
baseball
tourney
Pitcher throws perfect
game on way to title
DURHAM -- In their home tournament
the Pickering Ajax Cubs peewee AAA
team came out on top.
The tournament began with a momen-
tous feat and a night to remember for
Daniel Carinci as he threw a no hitter (12
strikeouts and two walks) and added a
three-run home run pacing the Cubs to
a 13-0 win over Scarborough Stingers A
squad.
An RBI single by Sterling McNabb in the
second inning helped the Cubs put some
runs on the board early as they scored
nine runs in the first three innings.
Saturday morning the Cubs faced Bar-
rie Red Sox AA and won 8-3.
Ben Mitchell started and got the win
and Josh Anderson got the save. After
a six run fourth inning highlighted by a
double off the bat of Evan Magill, Jacob
Chung came in and pitched solidly earn-
ing the save.
The afternoon game put the Cubs to
their first big test against Scarborough’s
AAA team and it ended in a standstill at
5-5.
A tight five inning scoreless game was
broken up in the top of the sixth with the
Cubs scoring five runs highlighted by an
RBI double by Isaac Burden. Jack Fuller
pitched four strong innings and Mitch-
ell Haywood came on to get the last three
outs with the bases loaded to preserve
the tie. A heads up play by Ty Cymbalista
ended the game with a double play.
In Sunday’s semifinal, the Cubs played
East York AA and earned a berth in the
finals with a 14-4 victory.
Quin McLane got the Cubs going early
with an RBI single in the first and Ethan
Duggan scored three runs pacing the
Cubs. Ben Mitchell got the win with a
save by Jack Fuller.
The final was a rematch from their tied
game as the Cubs faced the Scarborough
Stingers AAA team and won their first
tournament of the year 9-3.
Daniel Carinci started and held the
Stingers to one run over 3 1/3 innings and
Jack Fuller came in to pitch 3 2/3 strong
innings earning the win. The offence was
highlighted by a great hustle play by Luke
O’Connor as he beat out a force play at
second avoiding a potential third out in
the sixth inning as the Cubs rallied for six
runs with two out.
The team is coached by John Haywood,
Jason Mitchell, Alec Cymbalista and Ray
Gibbins.
