But, ultimately, it will be up to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation as to which community receives the coveted, and lucrative, gambling facility.

Winning the gold gives 17-year-old Vic- toria Rinsma the opportunity to represent Ontario at the Skills Canada National Com- petition in Saskatoon from May 27 to the 30. “It’s quite surreal because I never thought I’d be cooking for Ontario at a national level,” says Victoria. During the provincial competition, held in Kitchener and Waterloo, Victoria slaved away for six and a half hours against 24 other competitors to create an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. The competitors were given a base menu as a guideline but to excel in the competition they needed to make tweaks to the recipe, according to Vic- toria. She created ravioli, bacon-wrapped meat- loaf, and a swan-shaped pastry for dessert. The young chefs were judged on their food and their answers to a series of questions about themselves and their cooking. To get to this point Victoria won the gold at a municipal level in a competition at the Centre for Food at Durham College and at a qualifying competition in Hamilton. She already won those same two municipal and qualifying competitions when she began entering culinary competitions at 16. That’s five golds at five competitions so far, and she says she’s confident she’ll place well at the national level. When she was 15 she also won three gold medals and three silvers as part of the Cana- dian Junior National Dragon Boat Team competing at the world championship in Hungary. Competing as part of the dragon boat team prepared her for the nerves of the culinary competitions. Victoria’s training started at home by cooking with her parents. “I grew up in the kitchen at home,” says Victoria. She started getting serious about cooking when she started high school. She says she knew she wanted to cook for a living when she was at a parent teacher night in Grade 9 and spent the whole night talking to the culinary teachers. “Their cooking classes are better than most,” says Victoria of the culinary courses at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Victoria says two of the teachers are from Switzerland and Austria and have world experience in cooking. She also spoke of their dedication and how they’ve stayed late after school to help her practise until 8 p.m. Right now Victoria is preparing for the national competition by prepping dishes at home and getting different opinions on her cooking. She is also getting help from the faculty at the student learning restau- rant, Bistro ’67 at Durham College’s Centre for Food, where she practises when she can. In September she will be attending Durham College to take the culinary management program at the Whitby campus and contin- ue learning from Bistro ’67 and the faculty at the Centre for Food. WHITBY -- Victoria Rinsma, a Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School, recently won a Skills Ontario culinary arts competi- tion and is heading to Sakatoon for the national event later in May. She will be attending Durham College in the fall for culinary management.

Ajax Paint Centre 145 Kingston Road East, Unit 14 Ajax, ON 905.427.3337 Pickering Paint Centre 1794 Liverpool Road Pickering, ON 905.837.0317 Durham professor brings psychology to life with The Big Bang Theory TV show Dr. Lynne Kennette receives award for innovative teaching methods Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A local college professor is using quirky TV characters, like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, to help students understand psychology concepts. Dr. Lynne Kennette, a psychology profes- sor at Durham College, says lecturing for three hours isn’t the best way to teach new material. That’s why she tries to make her classes fresh and fun with hands-on activities, dis- cussions -- and clips from popular TV shows. “The Big Bang Theory has a great episode on operant conditioning where Sheldon modified Penny’s behaviour, and students really like it,” Dr. Kennette says. Operant conditioning is a process that sees humans and animals learn certain behav- iours as a way of getting rewards and avoid- ing punishment. On the show, Sheldon rewards Penny with chocolate as a way of lessening behaviours that annoy him. “We tend to watch these shows for enter- tainment, but there are important psycho- logical concepts that come into play during many episodes of popular shows,” Dr. Ken- nette explains. “I use the clips as a start- ing point for discussion or just another way to illustrate a concept we’ve introduced in class.” She says another great pop culture exam- ple is an episode of Family Guy where a game of peek-a-boo between baby Stewie and his dad demonstrates the concept of object per- manence -- the idea that objects continue to exist even when they can’t be seen, heard or touched. Dr. Kennette’s fun teaching style recently won her a Wayne Weiten Teaching Excel- lence Award, which recognizes innovative teaching methods that develop interest and awareness of psychology. As Durham College’s only full-time psy- chology instructor, she teaches an introduc- tory psychology course, which students from all different programs take as an elective. “I have so much fun designing learning activities for my students,” Dr. Kennette says. “Witnessing their ‘aha moments’ when the concepts we discuss in class come to life in classroom experiments or demonstrations makes all the planning and hours of prepa- ration worth it.” For example, she teaches students about classical conditioning by feeding them lem- onade crystals and training them to salivate to the word “Pavlov” -- the psychologist who coined the term. There are also lively discussions about whether serial killers are born that way or shaped by their environment, and memory demonstrations that have the added benefit of helping students study for tests. Dr. Kennette will receive her award at the annual American Psychological Association convention in Toronto in August. It includes a plaque and a $1,500 prize, as well as a mention in the fall issue of the American Psychological Association journal, Teaching of Psychology. OSHAWA -- Durham College psychology professor Dr. Lynne Kennette recently won the a Wayne Weiten Teaching Excellence Award which recognizes innovative teaching methods.

So much good work can be done at the local level. Community energy projects, improved transit and bike infrastructure, mod- ernizing buildings and water systems, and protecting greenspaces are all such important initiatives that are almost always municipally driven. To make sure these local projects are protected and encouraged we do need to see some kind of federal regulation. A straightforward price on carbon, like the fee and dividend approach, will encour- age cities across the country to take steps towards sustainability. Hats off to Pickering, let’s make it easy for everyone to follow their lead.

All content copyright Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Editorial &&& Opinions Opinions Opinions Only the future will determine if Patrick Brown is the person to lead Ontario’s Progressive Conservative party to electoral success against Ontario’s Teflon Liberals. No one can take anything away from his organized and well-executed leadership bid, a seven-month endurance test that left PC members a choice between the socially conservative Mr. Brown and Whitby-Osha- wa MPP and deputy PC leader Christine Elliott. But as a relatively obscure back- bench MP with no leadership experience when compared to the socially moderate Elliott, Mr. Brown has a huge job ahead of him to unite a party divided by the leader- ship race, and to sell his conservative vision for Ontario to the province’s voters. However, one can’t help a sense of deja vu as it relates to Mr. Brown’s record and approach to conservative policy, in con- trast to the centrist policy messaging of Ms. Elliott throughout the race. She was the first to question the arch-conservatism of pre- decessor Tim Hudak that led to two deci- sive election defeats for the Ontario PCs even as the Ontario Liberals lurched from crisis to crisis. Thus, it is somewhat surprising that Mr. Brown, who has voted against same-sex marriage and came out firmly against the provincial government’s new sex education curriculum, describes himself as a prag- matic conservative given that his position on such sensitive social issues are fully in line with the socially conservative base of the party. Indeed, some critics have argued that Mr. Brown’s win is a gift to the Ontario Liber- als, who will fully exploit those hot-button issues to their advantage. Seen over a long horizon, if Mr. Brown fails in his attempts to appeal not just to the base but a larg- er swath of voters, the PCs will find them- selves in much the same place, electorally speaking, as they did after the 2014 provin- cial election. We offer congratulations to Ms. Elliott for her honest, committed and classy leader- ship campaign. She represented her party -- and her constituents here at home -- extremely well. We also offer a tip of the hat to Mr. Brown for his success in winning the PC leader- ship, and some unsolicited advice: Pay particular heed to the message carried by Ms. Elliott and her substantial base of sup- port. Take a harder, more critical look at the recent electoral failures of the PC party in Ontario and let that be your guide on the ground. More of the same conservatism as that offered by Mr. Hudak will lead to more of the same at the ballot box. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Brown is blue, and Elliott is too A return to science fiction, thanks to those pesky robots I grew up on science fiction. Once I could read and got past the first few years of picture books and mainstream chapter books, I got hooked by science fiction, first comic books like Super- man and then novels found in my local library and then my school library. The words and worlds of Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Frederick Pohl, Clifford D. Simak, Theodore Sturgeon, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Heinlein, James Tiptree Jr., and more kept me com- pany over the years. In university, I even took a course in science fiction which was one of the best courses I took there, along with a children’s literature course. (Yes, really.) And of course I watched Star Trek (the original) when it came along. And there were other TV shows and movies, too, including Battlestar Galactica (origi- nal and reboot), The Day the Earth Stood Still (original) and Star Wars. I also closely followed man’s actual exploration of space, from Mercury and Gemini to Apollo and beyond. But somewhere along the line, I gradually stopped reading science fiction. It no longer was my go-to genre. The other books I’d been reading, including mysteries, historical fiction, history, fantasy, and gen- eral fiction, filled in the gap. I’m not sure why. Recently, though, I’ve returned to my reading roots. The book I’m reading now, Robot Uprisings, has me enthralled. It is, as the title suggests, a collection of stories about robots gone bad, a persistent theme in science fiction over the decades. In fact, a 1920 play by Karel Capek, R.U.R. or Ros- sum’s Universal Robots, introduced the word robot into the English language and into science fiction. The story centred on robots that were created to work for man and that eventually rebelled against their makers. It’s a long-standing tradition. (I studied the book in that university course I mentioned.) So I’m thankful to Robot Uprisings for getting me back into reading science fiction. And for making me glad I don’t have a Roomba.

A quantity of cash was handed over and the suspect fled. No one in the bank was injured. The suspect is described as white male between 40 and 50 years old, five foot six inches tall with a heavy build. He was wear- ing a dark jacket, dark pants, white running shoes and sunglasses.

Pickering fire crews will soon carry EpiPens PICKERING -- Since Pickering fire crews are getting more and more requests to help people experiencing a severe aller- gic reaction, local firetrucks will soon be equipped with EpiPens to treat these epi- sodes. The executive committee on Monday, May 11 received a report from Fire Chief John Hagg about the addition of EpiPens and the training of fire crews to recog- nize and treat severe allergic reactions. It’s expected to take place over the next few months. “The introduction of this tool will allow us to provide a potentially life-saving drug to patients,” said the report. Trucks will be equipped with EpiPen auto injectors, a disposable, pre-filled automatic injection device that adminis- ters epinephrine in the event of a severe allergic reaction. This medication relaxes the muscles in the airways and makes it easier to breathe. Other fire departments in the GTA have recently started carrying these devices. The Mississauga Fire Department reports saving four lives in the first year of supply- ing its fire crews with EpiPens. In Durham, the Clarington Fire Department recently outfitted its fire crews with EpiPens. 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 • Ma y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5 9 P NSP-MOTH-APNALUC14 Hurry –This limited-time offer ends May 29,2015!

Pickering man fined for keeping illegal fish, lying to officer PICKERING -- A Pickering man has been charged with keeping fish that exceeded size limits, then telling a whopper to an investigating conservation officer. A judge fined the man and his fishing buddy more than $2,000 for the offences, which occurred in Fenelon Falls last October. Court heard a conservation officer used night vision equipment to watch as one of the anglers car- ried a large walleye from a riverbank and con- cealed it in the bush nearby. When the officer approached the men, both repeatedly denied possessing any wall- eye, court heard. The officer searched the area and found four walleye, all outside legal size limits. Stretko Kosteski of Pickering pleaded guilty April 23 to possessing fish of a prohibited size and making a false statement to a conserva- tion officer. He was fined $750 for each offence. Kire Nikolovski of Scarborough pleaded guilty to making a false statement and was fined $750. 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 • Ma y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5 10 P Pickering mayor still positive about Durham Live, despite Ajax casino proposal Massive entertainment and tourism complex in Pickering expected to create 7,500 to 12,000 direct jobs Kristen Calis and Keith Gilligan kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The owners of the slots facil- ity in Ajax are upping the ante in their bid to keep its operations running, but the mayor next door believes Pickering will be a better host. Picov Holdings Inc. and Picov Cattle Com- pany have filed plans with Ajax that would see the Slots at Ajax Downs expanded to house 2,500 slot machines and 200 gam- ing tables. Currently, the number of slots is capped at 800 machines and there are no gaming tables. Paul Allore, the planning and development director for Ajax, said the applications are to “prepare the site from a planning perspec- tive.” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is a supporter of the proposed Durham Live development in Pickering, a 220-acre tourist and enter- tainment destination that would include a casino. He wasn’t surprised when he heard about the plans for Ajax. “It was anticipated,” he said. “We expected them to do that and they’ve done it.” In September, the former Pickering coun- cil voted 4-3 to endorse an application to re- zone three pieces of land in the Bayly and Church streets area, to build the huge tour- ist destination. In January, the current coun- cil voted 6-1 to give final approval to a zon- ing bylaw allowing the complex to move for- ward. Whether either site is built is up to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, which is undergoing a ‘modernization plan’ for its casinos and slots operations. Part of the plan is to divide the province into zones with only one gaming site in each zone. Ajax, Pickering and Whitby make up the C3 zone. The OLG will select an operator to run a facility in each zone. Three to five prospec- tive operators will be selected later this year and they will bid to operate the facility. The final decision on the operator won’t be made until late 2016 or early 2017. Mayor Ryan believes Durham Live in Pickering will be more beneficial to the Region of Durham and the Province of Ontario than an Ajax expansion, given the casino is only one aspect of the complex. “There’s much more available in the Pickering proposal and I think if the provin- cial government looks at this as they should -- as a revenue generator for the Province, as a job creator for the Region -- there’s much more potential, particularly on the job potential side for the Pickering proposal,” he said. An economic impact assessment submit- ted by the developer, Pickering Develop- ments Inc., estimates the project could cre- ate 7,500 to 12,000 direct jobs and generate annual municipal taxes of about $50 million. Mr. Allore said the Ajax application isn’t a move to undercut the Durham Live propos- al. “No, not at all. The site is being looked at by OLG. The planning requirements don’t allow a casino,” he said. “They started their background studies. If selected, the planning position would be in place. I think they’re doing their due diligence, in the same man- ner as Durham Live has done in Pickering.” As a host community, the Town has received almost $54 million in revenue from the Slots at Ajax Downs. With 2,500 slots and 200 gaming tables, the Town could expect to receive between $9.5 million and $12.3 mil- lion per year as a host community. Ajax, Pickering and Whitby have all declared themselves a willing host, “but we have the slots,” Mr. Allore said. “They’re going through the planning process. When the decision comes, hopefully the decision will be here.” If the Ajax site isn’t selected, the existing slots operation would close. “Ajax would lose the slots and the future of the quarter-horse racing would be a ques- tion mark as well,” Mr. Allore noted. “Durham Region is the heart of quar- ter-horse racing,” he said, adding it pumps about $56 million into the economy and pro- vides 1,700 jobs. “For the agriculture industry and horse racing, the success of that track is huge and it’s huge to the Region,” he said. The existing racing facility and operations will remain if Ajax is chosen. Mayor Ryan noted he’s heard these con- cerns. “There are options available there,” he said. He said the quarter-horse racing could continue to run if a casi- no opens in Pickering and noted Picov’s was operational before Ajax Downs opened up. “The betting can still be accommodated in various ways wherever the casino is sited,” he said. He added there is suffi- cient property in Pickering in the case of the track being moved from Ajax. He said there would be no job loss if Ajax Downs were to close and a casino in Pickering were to open. “Those (existing) jobs would move to the Pickering casino and be expanded,” he said. A report prepared for the casino expansion application says the new Ajax site would be 358,000 square feet (33,300 square metres). An expansion of 280,000 sq. ft. (26,000 sq. m.) would be added to the existing building. Also, a parking garage would be built. The applicant’s report, prepared by AECOM, stated the existing slots operation would remain open during construction. The expanded facility would create 340 jobs and bring the total employment at the site to 700 people. It would also create close to 435 spin-off jobs. The AECOM report noted that since 2009, “the Slots at Ajax Downs has proven to be the strongest performer of its type in terms of revenue/machine/day. If selected by OLG as the expanded C3 venue for future gaming, the growth in its annual visitations is expect- ed to increase from the 1.74 million in 2012 to 2.67 million.” PICKERING --An artist’s rendering of the proposed 220-acre Durham Live development at Bayly and Church streets in Pickering.

After!Before City plans to ask for extension to assess further homes Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Council is attempting to save at least five buildings that the Prov- ince of Ontario is looking to demolish to make way for Seaton. The executive committee chose to sup- port staff’s recommendation to save some of the properties that the Province, more specifically, Infrastructure Ontario, is look- ing to demolish. The City is responding to word that the arm of the Ontario government that manages the provincial lands in north Pickering, is conducting an environmen- tal assessment to demolish 15 homes to make way for the development of the Seaton neighbourhood. Seaton is expected to bring 70,000 people and 35,000 jobs to central Pickering. Pickering is now assessing the proposal to demolish the structures, and will send comments back to Infrastructure Ontario. In an extensive report to the executive committee on Monday night, Pickering staff recommended that Infrastructure Ontario save five properties, including the Walter Percy House, which was recent- ly designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, and did not object to the demolition of four others. It’s also asking for an extension to the commenting deadline to allow the City to further assess the other buildings, and to deem whether they should be saved from the wrecking ball. “I know people are upset with losing any buildings,” said Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson. He said if council had its way, all of the buildings would be saved. Although the Ontario Heritage Act allows municipalities to designate properties, the Province has authority on its own lands. The other buildings the City wishes to save are 825 Whitevale Rd., 1130 Whitevale Rd., 1450 Whitevale Rd., and 3440 Brock Rd. Staff is also looking to designate three of these homes under the Ontario Heritage Act. “These buildings are valuable resourc- es to the City and the demolition of these buildings would be a significant loss of the City heritage resources,” said the report. The City is strongly recommending Infra- structure Ontario restore the buildings that have fallen into disrepair so they can be used for appropriate residential, commer- cial or community purposes serving the City. “If the buildings cannot be protected in- situ, they should be relocated and inte- grated into another area of the Whitevale Hamlet or the Seaton Community,” said the report. The City is concerned that the Province is allowing the buildings to fall into such a state of disrepair that there is little option but to demolish them, and use the term “demolition by neglect” to describe it. Staff also recommended that coun- cil express its strong dismay at the Prov- ince for its “disregard of significant heri- tage resources in Seaton through the lack of maintenance and occupancy of such resources.” Infrastructure Ontario communications advisor Bianca Lankheit said IO hasn’t seen the City’s report yet so it is unable to respond to specifics. She did note IO has granted Pickering an extension until the end of July 2015 to complete its own assessment. “IO continues to co-operate with the City of Pickering and will meet with municipal officials as planned this summer to deter- mine next steps,” Ms. Lankheit said. The report recommends that if Infra- structure Ontario chooses to demolish these buildings despite the City’s opposi- tion, that exterior and interior heritage fea- tures should be made available for salvage. The report will come back to Council on May 19 for final approval.

North Durham was under a frost warning on May 13 and next week temperatures were expected to drop to about 5 C overnight mid-week. Oshawa’s greenhouse foreman Charlie Samms said his team will start planting annuals next week throughout the city and said he believes most plants will be fine especial- ly if they’re in somewhat sheltered areas near houses. When it comes to vegetables, the Durham Master Gar- deners say it depends on what you’re planting. Cold weather plants like spinach, broccoli and kale should be just fine. However it may be best to wait a week to plant warmth-loving plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and basil. Even if they don’t die from frost, those plants thrive in Mediterranean-type climates and they won’t thrive until the soil and temperatures warm up. For more on gardening check out our gardening video series on www.durhamregion.com starting on Saturday and your local newspaper next week when we’ll have a primer on vegetable gardening on Wednesday, May 20 followed by a guide to perennials on May 27. ARTiculate show features Durham student artists Paintings, photo, sculptures on display until May 17 DURHAM -- More than 130 works of art by local students from kindergarten to Grade 12 will be showcased at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa this month. The ARTiculate show features an array of works by Durham Catholic District School Board students including oil on canvas, sculpting, masks, watercolour, pencil, tin can and recycled art, photography, charcoal, tex- tiles, ceramics, and fashion design. “Having my work on public display provides a great sense of accomplishment and contin- ues to confirm my passion to pursue a career in photography,” says William Bird, a Grade 11 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School. He recently won first place in the Pine Ridge Arts Council Juried Competition for his water- fall photograph. In July, William will travel to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to photograph nature and animals as part of a National Geo- graphic Workshop. ARTiculate runs until May 17.

Durham College, Trent University, UOIT scramble to deal with high school strike Task force launched to draw up a game plan as high school strikes threaten to drag into summer Louise Brown newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham College has decided to offer admission to students from strike- affected schools based on midterm marks, not final ones. Trent University’s Oshawa campus is con- sidering special summer workshops in writ- ing and math for incoming students from Durham Region who have missed weeks of class due to the strike. The Ontario Universities’ Applications Centre is prepared to work into summer to send universities final marks -- when avail- able -- from the three school boards hit by walkouts by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation. Scrambling to deal with the first school strikes in Ontario ever to threaten to drag into summer, universities have launched a spe- cial school strike task force to draw up a game plan. “We’ve created a task force to trouble- shoot together with two individuals from every university in the province -- registrars, directors of admissions -- who will be avail- able on short notice if there is a development on the labour dispute,” said Ryerson Univer- sity registrar Charmaine Hack, co-chairwom- an of the new group. Yet it is unclear what will happen if the strikes stretch into the summer, said George Grainger, executive director of OUAC. “Everyone wants to shield these innocent students from circumstances they can’t con- trol, but if worse comes to worse and the strikes do last to June 30, what would the school boards do?” he asked. “In theory that could be a jeopardy situation and I imagine directors of educations and the education ministry would have to decide the require- ments for graduating, but the difficulty is, right now it’s all speculative. “Late processing we can handle, but for now we’re playing the waiting game.” The three school boards hit by strikes -- Durham (on strike since April 20), Rainbow District (April 27) and Peel (May 4) -- were able to send in Grade 12 students’ midterm marks by the April 23 deadline so many offers have gone out as usual, said Mr. Grainger. But most are conditional on students not only graduating but hitting a minimum final aver- age, and it is not clear whether missing half the second term, as students could do in Dur- ham, would be something the province or post-secondary institutions could overlook. “If the strike were to last, universities could be looking at students who have three sec- ond-semester courses that are only partial- ly completed; it’s an unfortunate set of cir- cumstances,” said Mr. Grainger, noting some courses, such as calculus and algebra, are critical for many university programs. Universities make their offers by May 28 and students must accept or decline by June 1, but universities and colleges have said they’ll be flexible for students in boards hit by strikes. But the fate of the 7,100 Grade 12 students in Durham Region and 9,000 in Peel is very much up in the air. Durham College, 60 per cent of whose stu- dents come from Durham Region, will accept students based on midterm marks, but if they haven’t graduated by Aug. 22 the college won’t be able to admit them and would issue a refund, said Meri Kim Oliver, vice-president of student affairs. The University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology offers summer boot camps for math that might be particularly useful this year for students who have missed some math because of the strike, said Olivia Petrie, assis- tant vice-president of student life. The university task force hopes to have compiled a list of summer prep courses at every university “as a central resource for stu- dents; a little extra foundation for those who have not had as much class time or (teacher) help with material,” said Ms. Hack. They won’t be high school credits but rath- er preparatory courses, workshops and even websites to bolster the skills and confidence of students who have missed weeks of class. -- Torstar News Service A great selection of new & used building supplies & accessories all at LOW prices!

Six teenagers had the chance to drive a car provided by Young Drivers of Canada around the course with a driving instructor, after entering the Pickering Town Centre’s contest on Facebook. The teens who wanted to participate needed to have a valid driver’s licence (G1, G2 or full G) and be available for the few hours on Friday. Several cars were provided, and the teens drove around the obstacle course twice before being distracted by phone messag- es and driving through the course again. A group Facebook message was created among them, talking about seeing a movie later that day. Teens said the course was too demand- ing to continually take their eyes off the road and check their phones, and when they did, pylons didn’t stay up. “Taking your eyes off the road for just a second, it’s really easy to fall into the trap of using your phone,” said Angel Huang, 17. “Just don’t do it, for the safety of yourself and everyone else on the road.” Angel said she only drives when her father is in the passenger seat because she currently holds a G1 licence, which requires the driver to have someone in the passenger seat at all times who owns a full licence. “It’s nicer to have my parent in the car and help me stay focused,” she said. “It’s really dangerous, I don’t think its worth the risk (to text and drive.)” “Texting and driving is probably the most dangerous type of distracted driving,” said Angelo DiCicco, general manager of Young Drivers of Canada. “We want to come up with practical solutions. I’ll never be able to change someone’s mind ... My goal is to have them change their own mind about the dan- gers of distracted driving.” During March Break, the Pickering Town Centre hosted #live2see20 Teen Lounge with a driving simulator, foosball, air hock- ey, candy and a coffin filled with dead cell phones. “You had to take a pledge (not to text and drive) to enter the lounge,” said Lorna Mur- phy, marketing director of the Pickering Town Centre. “You had to be 13 to 19 to enter.” Ms. Murphy said the Pickering Town Cen- tre is closing in on about 1,000 pledges, and teens can continue pledging through the Pickering Town Centre’s website at www. pickeringtowncentre.com under contests.

Derek Dolstra / Metroland Advertising Feature Transportation in 30 years from now During May the eyes of the nation will be on the transportation networks that get us and our stuff where it needs to go. Industry experts think these are some needs to be addressed by 2045. How will people move? As urban centers grow, and as self-driving technology is re fi ned, we need to build road systems and public transit networks that combat congestion. How will we move things? With a projected freight volume increase of 45 per cent, how can we accommodate ever-increasing cargo ship sizes at vital ports? How can smaller businesses avoid losses because of bottlenecks? How will we adapt to climate change? Changing and more unpredictable weat her patterns will have an impact on bridges, roads, maritime ports and public transit. Can technology help us build more re silient infrastructure? Needless to say, technology is a key word in all the discussions; it will play a central role in the way freight tracking, traffic control, smart- vehicle driving and public transportation evolve and adapt to the future.

Work on restructuring the composi- tion of Durham Region council is about to get underway after council’s finance and administration committee on May 5 approved starting the process. A com- mittee could be established with the aim of coming up with recommendations by March 2016. Regional Council will consid- er the matter when it meets on Wednes- day, May 13. It would be the first time the composi- tion of Regional Council has been looked at since 1996, when the number of coun- cillors was reduced from 32 to the current 28. Ajax has been pushing the issue of Regional council composition, having taken the position that its three council- lors represent more than 36,000 residents each. Meanwhile, the eight Oshawa coun- cillors only represent about 18,700 each. In the fall municipal election, Ajax, Pickering and Whitby each had a question on the ballots asking residents of they were in favour of changing the composition of Regional council. In all three municipali- ties, a high percentage favoured a change. Membership of the 15-member commit- tee will include the Regional chairman, one Regional councillor from each munic- ipality, one representative from either the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade or the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, one rep from either the Greater Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce or the Clarington Board of Trade, one rep from either the Beaver- ton District, or the Scugog or Uxbridge chambers, and one rep from each of UOIT, Durham College and Trent University Oshawa. Whatever changes are made would have to be in place by Dec. 31, 2017 so that local municipalities have time to prepare for the 2018 elections. During the finance committee’s delib- erations on setting up the committee, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he didn’t want council to interfere with the committee’s work. “Let them come up with their own rec- ommendations. If you start putting restric- tions on the committee, you’re saying ‘you can look only at this,’” he added. Ajax Councillor Shaun Collier suggested $10,000 be set aside for the committee to use on outside consultants if it needs the help. Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond said $10,000 wasn’t enough and suggested raising the amount to $25,000. “Ten thousand dollars in today’s rates won’t help and could cause delays,” she said. The $25,000 was approved. The committee will provide an interim report to Regional council in November. DURHAM -- A committee will be established to come up with recommendations for restructuring the makeup of Durham Regional council. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson says it’s imperative that council not interfere with the work of the com- mittee, which has a deadline of March 2016. The committee will provide an interim report to council in November. Metroland file photo BROOKLIN COMING SOON First time offered. Premium lot.

The firing came in response to a recom- mendation for removal from office made by a disciplinary panel of the Justices of the Peace Review Council on Tuesday, April 26. The council is an independent body that investigates complaints against justices of the peace. Mr. Massiah is only the fifth Ontario justice of the peace to be removed from office. Ministry of the Attorney General spokes- man Brendan Crawley confirmed Friday that Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur con- veyed the panel’s recommendation to cabi- net, and that Lt.-Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell then signed an order-in-council stripping Mr. Massiah of his position. Mr. Massiah’s lawyer, Jeffry House, could not be immediately reached for comment. Mr. House previously said that Mr. Massiah was considering an appeal. The three-member disciplinary panel con- cluded that Mr. Massiah’s behaviour towards women at the Whitby courthouse between 2007 and 2010 “is so manifestly and pro- foundly destructive of the judicial role and integrity in the judiciary that public confi- dence requires (Mr. Massiah) to be removed from office.” Mr. Massiah had been on leave since August 2010, but was still collecting his $122,600 annual salary. Ms. Meilleur has yet to speak publicly about Mr. Massiah. She refused to comment when pressed by Progressive Conservative justice crit- ic Sylvia Jones earlier this week during question period at the provincial legislature, other than to say she was bringing the recommendation to cabi- net. A previous disciplinary panel found in 2012 that Mr. Massiah had also sexually harassed women at the Oshawa courthouse. In that case, he was suspended without pay for 10 days and ordered to take sensitivity training. Comments he made to women at both courthouses include telling a female pros- ecutor she was “looking goooood” and in another instance, leaning in behind her ear and saying “Ooh, lady in red.” The panel found that Mr. Massiah still does not comprehend what is, and what is not, appropriate judicial conduct. He sees his comments to women as “compliments” and part of his “management style,” the panel concluded after hearing his testimony. The panel still has to decide whether it will recommend that the public pay for part or all of Mr. Massiah’s legal fees. Taxpayers covered his $123,000 legal tab from his previous disci- plinary hearing in 2012. -- Torstar news service, with files from Robert Benzie Spring promo.

Greg Mills retires after 41 years on the force Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It was early on in his career as a cop that Greg Mills realized the impact he could have on the lives of the citizens he encountered. The young officer had attended a traf- fic accident -- no one was hurt, just a lot of damage to the vehicles -- where he lent support to those involved as the scene was cleaned up. Nothing extraordinary, in his mind. “You just did what you were trained to do,” he said as he recalled the incident many years later. So the fledgling cop was surprised and impressed when the people involved in the accident came by the station later to thank him for his assistance. “They were so grateful that we’d helped them out,” said the officer, who has just retired as a superintendent after a 41-year career with Durham Regional Police. “What for me was another routine call was actually very traumatic for them,” he said. “I realized you shouldn’t overlook the small things. Those things matter to people.” Supt. Mills had worked for just under two years as an officer with Toronto police before he was hired by the newly amalgam- ated Durham organization in 1974; he was one of six recruits brought on as new hires. He hadn’t actually planned on a career in policing; he assumed the military was his destination. That changed after one year at Royal Military College. “I learned it was highly unlikely I was going to get to fly jets, which was what I wanted to do,” Supt. Mills said. But soon after starting as a cop, he knew he’d found his calling. Born in Bridgenorth and raised in Oshawa, Supt. Mills was eager to join the new Durham force. Members of the service found themselves dealing with complica- tions that might be expected when several small municipal police forces are amalgam- ated into a large regional entity. For instance, not all of the Durham cruis- ers had been affixed with new logos when the service began on Jan. 1, 1974. Likewise, many officers still hadn’t been issued new uniforms, so wore their old uniforms for a time. The newly minted Constable Mills was issued an Oshawa police uniform and assigned to patrol Pickering. Adding to the potential for conflict was the fact that officers began work for Dur- ham under the pre-existing collective agreements they’d struck with their vari- ous municipalities. The whole delicate mix was balanced by Jon Jenkins, Durham’s first police chief and the region’s top cop for 15 years. “It was a huge job. He was the right man for the job,” Supt. Mills said of the late chief. Since that first assignment as a patrol cop in Pickering, Supt. Mills has served in numerous capacities with Durham police. His next placement was in Uxbridge, where in the mid-70s police only patrolled until 2 a.m. He’s since served throughout the region in a number of capacities and was promot- ed to superintendent in August 2000. He retires as officer in charge of the service’s North and East Divisions, as well as Patrol Support. He is the first officer to attain 40 years of service with Durham. Although he became eligible to retire in 2001, Supt. Mills opted to delay his depar- ture until now. His wife, Bonnie, a nurse, is also retiring. “It’s been an awesome career,” he said. “I’ve kept my focus on the core reason I went into policing. “I’m here to help our citizens and our community.” DURHAM -- Superintendent Greg Mills is retiring from the Durham Regional Police after 40 years of service.

The Durham West Blues Fest is back for a second year and will team up with Artfest on The Esplanade, with both taking place on May 23 at Esplanade Park near Valley Farm and Kingston roads. “Hopefully our portion of the event will draw some people and ... will keep people who come to Artfest,” says blues fest orga- nizer Lori Murray. To that end, she is looking for some vol- unteers to don costumes and help bring people to the park. Murray is seeking peo- ple to play the part of the Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues, made famous by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi in the film. The volunteers, in costumes they them- selves provide, will stake out retail loca- tions in Pickering on event day to encour- age people to come and check out the fes- tival. Murray notes the City of Pickering, which with the PineRidge Arts Council presents Artfest, invited Murray to take care of the entertainment at the art festival. And Murray has come through. “We’ve got continuous live blues hap- pening on the gazebo stage from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” she says. She says there were roughly 75 submis- sions from bands wanting to play the event and seven were chosen to perform, includ- ing Durham’s Roadogs, Toronto-based blues artist Voodoo Walters and two Juno- nominated musicians, harp player Carlos del Junco and guitarist Jimmy Bowskill. As well, award-winning musician Rick Fines is holding an acoustic blues guitar workshop from 1 to 3 p.m. in the adjacent council chambers of the Pickering Civic Complex. Whether you want to bring your axe and get some tips or just come and lis- ten, it’s free. As at last year’s event, music and art will combine in a musical instrument-inspired art project and silent auction. “We have seven artists participating and we have provided them with retired instru- ments that have been gathering dust,” Murray says. The money raised in the silent auction will support the festival, which Murray hopes to hold in conjunction with Artfest again in 2016. Last year’s blues fest was held in Ajax and the crowds were not as big as Murray had hoped. She says the admis- sion charge was probably the reason, and while Murray is running this year’s festival with no sponsorship, the event is free. Artfest always includes lots of hands-on activities for kids and the blues festival is adding to the fun with its own activity. “Kids are going to be able to make instru- ments out of recycled material,” she says. And adults will be able to enjoy a drink, as a refreshment tent will be selling Dan Aykroyd wine and Amsterdam beer. Blues Brothers who want to suit up and help support the festival can e-mail Mur- ray at dwbf@rogers.com or call her at 905- 831-8661.

Board member Laura Weightman reports “This is going to be a huge event for us. Last year we competed in 57 cate- gories with 18 skaters. This year, we have 28 skaters competing in 100 categories.” Team members range in age from eight years old to adult. These junior, intermediate and senior athletes will be competing in various events, showcas- ing their skills in freeskate, dance, spins, jumps, and music interpretation. This event is a major skating com- petition in the United States, celebrating its 26th year in operation and promises to attract top skaters from across North America. Skaters will be judged accord- ing to the rules set forth in the 2014-2015 U.S. Figure Skating Rulebook. “I am really excited to compete against skaters from the United States, again this year,” explained team member Sara Currie. “I’ve learned a lot from last year and am even more prepared this time.” Pickering Skating Club members qualifying to attend this competition, include: Emily Wardle, Brooke Farrell, Sara Currie, Gabriella Villanueva, Emily Guan, Owen Weightman, Lauren Balke, Angelina Villanueva, Jade Falsetti, Yas- mine Yusufi, Stephanie Hintermeister, Holly Branigan, Barb Scott, Arline Killam, Christina Hazell, Faith Lewis, Madison McKay, Rachel Wildridge, Ashley Ham- burger, Emily Weightman, Phoeba Gat- sis, Nooshin Pak, Cassie Nielsen, Natalia Savor, Alexandra Savor, Claudia Savor, Madelyn Jones, Caitlain Ball. The team was fortunate to attend the recent Stars on Ice event held at the Air Canada Centre and were inspired by Kurt Browning, Patrick Chan, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, who are also members of Skate Canada. The team trains out of the Pickering Recreation Complex’s Delaney Rink from September to May. Results are available online at the Pickering Skating Club twit- ter account @PickeringSC, on Facebook or their website at www.pickeringskating- club.ca . Spring skate competition welcomes 28 locals to New York ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA -- Michael McCarron of the Oshawa Generals screened goalie Devin Williams of the Erie Otters on a goal scored by Mitchell Vande Sompel in the first period of Game 4 of the OHL finals at Erie Insurance Arena last night. The Generals won the game 6-5 in overtime to take a 3-1 series lead back home to Oshawa Friday. Photo by Jack Hanrahan / Erie Times-News Generals just one win away 6-5 OT win in Erie puts Oshawa up 3-1 in OHL championship series Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA -- The Oshawa Gen- erals are one win away from winning their first Ontario Hockey League championship in 18 years. Cole Cassels ended a thrilling Game 4 at Erie Insurance Arena 8:19 into overtime last night, giving the Generals a 6-5 win over the Otters and a 3-1 series lead in the race for the J. Ross Robertson Cup. It was not the type of game Generals coach D.J. Smith typically likes to see, but he will gladly take the win on what was his 38th birthday. May 13 has been a good date in the history of the Generals, too, as it marked the last time the franchise won a Memorial Cup, in 1990. They are now one win shy of getting back to the Memorial Cup tournament, which this year is being held in Quebec City May 21-31. The winning goal came on a power play that was the result of a delay of game pen- alty to Uxbridge’s Mason Marchment, who flipped the puck out of play. Cassels scored his 10th of the playoffs after the Generals had several other chances leading up. “We got lucky, he flips one over the glass and we get a power play,” Smith said in the post-game press conference. “I think some- times when you get a power play in overtime you bear down so much more because you know that might be your only chance.” When Cassels was asked where the goal ranked in terms of importance in his career, he didn’t hesitate in answering. “Number one, for sure,” he said. “No ques- tion.” For the Otters, the game spoiled a dynam- ic performance by captain Connor McDa- vid, who was all over the ice and led his team with a goal and three assists. Goalies Ken Appleby of the Generals and Devin Williams weren’t at their best, making 27 and 23 saves respectively, but Appleby got the job done after the second period, stop- ping all 13 shots he faced. The Generals had two different two-goal leads in the game, including 2-0 at the start, but the potent Otters battled back and took a 5-4 lead late into the second period before captain Josh Brown tied the game with less than a second remaining. Whitby’s Matt Mistele scored twice for the Generals, giving him a team-high 12 goals in the playoffs, and he also drew the lone assist on Cassels’ winner. Defencemen Mitch- ell Vande Sompel and Stephen Desrocher scored the other Oshawa goals. The Generals now have an opportunity to win a championship on home ice with Game 5 Friday at 7:05 p.m. at the GM Centre. 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 • Ma y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5 27 AP On Now at The Brick!

While GM/head coach Ron Reed is quick to point out that there is room for improve- ment with the way his club is playing, the Ironheads are perfect where it counts the most -- in the standings, sitting at 5-0 after an 11-7 win in Newmarket on Tuesday, May 12. While there is plenty of credit to go around, Reed modestly didn’t start at the top, directing much of the praise to assis- tant coaches Brandon Turner and Pat Gre- goire. “I’ve got to give kudos to Brandon Turn- er and Pat Gregoire who are really work- ing well with the kids,” Reed pointed out. “They are really doing a terrific job with the kids. I’m really happy with the job they are doing.” Before the season even started, Reed liked what he saw from his team during training camp and a pre-season tourna- ment. Coming off a season in which they recorded just six wins and a tie in 20 out- ings, the Ironheads are just one win away from equalling that total with 15 games still to be played. “I said at the start that I was pretty happy with the kids we have this year and the whole new attitude,” said Reed. “We are 5-0. We still see some room for improve- ment. There is still some undisciplined play, some dumb penalties that we will have to correct.” In the latest victory, the team’s lead- ing scorer, Patrick Morgan, led the charge with a pair of goals and three helpers, giv- ing him 27 points in five games as he closes in on the franchise lead for most points in a career. Mike Berger netted a hat trick for the Ironheads, while Adrian Torok-Orban had a pair to go along with a couple of helpers as well. Single tallies went to Quinn Wilson, Bryce Keats, Kyle McDermott and Robert Grant, who also had three assists. The Ironheads were up 3-2 in Newmar- ket after the first period, extending the lead to 9-5 through two. The confidence level is certainly high at this point, which might explain some of the success early on. The Ironheads have won three games by one goal, one of those in overtime. In years past they seemed to come out on the short end of those close games. “I don’t think it’s one thing. It’s a combi- nation of a lot of things,” said Reed. “It’s a whole different attitude with the kids we have. “There’s no explanation for that other than maybe we are getting an odd bounce going our way which is nice for a change. Maybe it’s a belief that let’s not panic in a close situation. Let’s believe in ourselves and see if we can’t get this done.” The Ironheads will continue a string of six in a row on the road when they visit Halton Hills on Thursday, May 14 and Oril- lia on Sunday, May 17. AJAX -- Ajax Ironheads’ Adrian Torok-Oban was checked by Orillia Kings’ Kurtis Pushie during their Jr. B lacrosse game at the Ajax Community Centre on May 6. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers Novice AE hockey team had a successful end to the 2014-2015 season. After finishing second and winning the silver medal in the Ontario Minor Hock- ey Association (OMHA) finals, the team went on to win gold at the Spring Thaw Tournament in Pickering. The first game of the tournament had the Panthers playing against the neigh- bouring Ajax Knights. The Panthers came out strong and defeated the Knights 8-3. The second game took place at the Pickering Recreation Complex and the Panthers showed they were determined to make it to the finals. Newmarket gave it their all but the Panthers won 9-1. Going into the third game, the Panthers knew they had to stay on top of their game. Up against Stoney Creek, the team proved again that they were in it to win it and defeated the opponent 10-2 taking the Panthers into the gold medal game. Once again the Panthers were facing the Ajax Knights, this time for gold. After a close first period, the Panthers turned it on and defeated Ajax 8-3 and won their first gold medal. Having won two silver medals it was an exciting time for the team and a great way to end the season. The team consists of goalies Declan Swatton and Jaden Baird and players Alyssia Jamal, Ayden Despres, Ben Cam- eron, Brock Kalin, Calvin Tran, Cole Rob- ert, Daniel Doucette, Elroy Quan, Jack Krueger, Joseph Pulella, Lowen Fleming, Luke Willis, Nathan Kaneko and William Bilyk. The coaching staff includes Mike Fleming, Tim Despres, Aaron Willis, Joe Pulella and Derek Bilyk.

The goal of the Pickering Soccer Club was to unite neighbouring clubs around a common vision of provid- ing developmental opportunities to local, elite level players. To promote inclusiveness, PSC chose to operate its League1 program under the Durham United FC banner. Even the DUFC crest was developed with inclusiveness in mind, with colours chosen to represent clubs ranging from East Scarborough to Darlington. With the concept of expanding the reach of DUFC beyond Pickering, the Oshawa Kicks Soccer Club agreed to step forward to host a DUFC Cup match at the Oshawa Civic Centre. With Toronto FC Academy as the opponent and several young Kicks coaches on the DUFC roster, the event received sup- port from Kicks membership and was a memorable experience for both teams. DUFC continues to offer the oppor- tunity for area clubs to work together in support of bringing the best players, coaches and resources together under the DUFC entity and its elite player pathway. With the addition of a wom- en’s division for 2015, the PSC and the Kicks have reconfirmed their intent to continue working together and are wel- coming the West Rouge Soccer Club as the newest supporting member of the DUFC community. West Rouge has committed to join this group of community clubs for the sole purpose of providing a standards- based environment with the highest level of coaching and competition for players who have come through their grassroots and competitive youth pro- grams. The 2015 DUFC season schedule opened on May 2 and runs through to the end of September. DUFC will play the bulk of its home games at Kinsmen Field in Pickering, where a refurbished grass field satisfies all the requirements of the League1 Ontario standards and provides fans a great facility for enjoy- ing outstanding soccer action. DUFC will also bring several games to the Oshawa Civic Centre through- out the season where the Kicks will play host. Plans are also underway for West Rouge to provide their membership with the opportunity to also host.

E X X X (NC) Most kids can’t wait for the weeks of long, hot, carefree days spent in flip flops at camps, cottages and parks. But while the fresh air and unstructured play can be excellent for a child’s development, foot experts say that weeks of roaming in ill-fitting, unstructured flip flops can lead to foot, ankle and knee injuries. “Basic, flimsy flip flops don’t provide the support that children need when they are running, jumping and playing,” says Anne Putnam, a Canadian certified pedorthist and president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada. “Proper fitting, supportive shoes are essential for the healthy growth and development of children’s feet, and although shoe rules can slacken a bit in the summer, they shouldn’t be completely forgotten.” During the summer, pedorthists recommend that children wear footwear that balances ease with comfort and support. As children are always on the go they like shoes they can quickly take on and off. Parents are advised to look for sandals with velcro straps as they are quick and easy to get into and secure the foot snuggly in the shoe as effectively as laces. For daily play, a pair of lightweight, supportive sandals with a flex-point at the ball of the foot is essential. Most importantly the sandals should fit perfectly, as shoes that are too big or too small increase the risk of injury. Children can wear unsupportive flip flops at the beach and by the pool, but flip flops are not appropriate for active play or walking any distance. More information on appropriate footwear for children can be found at www. pedorthic.ca. www.newscanada.com 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 • Ma y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5 30 AP Sportage SX Luxury shown ‡ Cash purchase price $40,344 hwy / city 100km : 8.3L/11.4L Forte SX shown ‡ Cash purchase price $28,364 hwy / city 100km : 6.1L/8.8L Rio4 SX with Navigation shown ‡ Cash purchase price $24,064 hwy / city 100km : 6.3L/8.8L 2015 LX+ AT 20152015 Offerbasedonnew2015RioLX+AT(RO743F)withasellingprice of$18,664.¤ExcludesHST.
