Like most businesses, Lenbrook relies on high-speed Internet. “It’s a critical part of what we do,” Wideman said. “Everything we do is done through e-mail, ShareFile, Drop- box and Skype and it can shut you down if you don’t have good infra- structure driving that. We are reliant on Internet.” Wideman said Internet speed is a big problem in areas north of Hwy. 7. “You want to attract good business here, good business along the 407,” she said. This problem also poses an issue for those who live in the north and wish to work from home. The APBOT recently tabled and passed a resolution calling for improved broadband access across Canada at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in Regina.

Hundreds attend funeral for Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson who loved family and community BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There were tears, laughter, smiling nods as mourners remembered Rick Johnson, the “very much larger-than-life character” who died on Sept. 27. Johnson, a longtime Pickering politician, was remembered for his work in the commu- nity, his funny side, his love for his family and his love for Pickering. It was standing room only at the Nelson F. Tomlinson Community Centre (formerly the Claremont Community Centre) on Saturday, Oct. 1, as more than 300 people turned out to remember Johnson. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said all of Pickering council was at the ceremony. “None of us are here today for anything other than we called Rick Johnson our friend,” Mayor Ryan said. “Rick did a great job. He did a good job for all of us. He was dedicated poli- tician who liked to play hockey and none of us wanted to go into the corner with him.” Johnson served on Pickering council for more than two decades, starting in 1988. He held office continually until he lost his Regional council seat in 2010. He was re- elected a City councillor in the 2014 munici- pal election. Kevin Ashe, a fellow Pickering councillor, said it wasn’t easy to speak about Johnson because “there’s so much emotion attached to it. No. 2, there are so many stories and No. 3, there are so many stories that I can’t say in public.” He noted Johnson was a business- man, a musician, he loved to play sports, par- ticularly hockey, slo-pitch and golf. Johnson was extremely good at fundraising, having “raised tens of millions for charity.” Johnson raised money for the Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hospital, the local Big Brothers association and to help build Heri- zon House, a shelter for abused women and children. “It arguably wouldn’t be built with- out Rick’s involvement,” Ashe said. Ashe noted Johnson’s election signs had the slogan ‘We Want Rick Johnson back.’ “That’s never more appropriate than today. He was a guy’s guy, a man’s man. There was an underlying tenderness and a sparkle in his eye,” Ashe added. Fellow Pickering Councillor David Pick- les noted, “Rick had the gift of gab and 90 per cent of it was about politics, sports and music. And, some of it was true. “Some times, in quieter times, he would speak about (wife) Susan and how much she supported him in politics, business and music,” Pickles said. “A lot of people never saw that quieter side, but it was certainly there.” Of all his fundraising, Pickles said Johnson was “most proud of establishing the women’s shelter. Rick is still a legend there for his fund- raising and the great amount of support they provided him.” Johnson’s friend Gord ‘Jigger’ James said, “I’m not involved in politics. I’m just his buddy.” James played hockey with Johnson for years, with James at centre and Johnson one of his wingers. “He was that guy who went into the corner and brought the puck out.” He remembered the time when he and Johnson woke up on Feb. 14 and realized they hadn’t bought Valentine’s cards for their wives. The two hustled over to a drug store in Stouffville and then hurried back to the Johnson’s Brougham house. They signed the cards in the car and James asked Johnson how many cards would Susan be getting from guys named Rick. Just him, Johnson said. “Then why did you sign the card ‘Love, Rick Johnson?’” James asked. “He’s not leaving. I’m not saying goodbye to him. The stories I shared with you will always be with me,” James said. “He was my best man and my winger. Maybe God needed a winger more, but he’ll always be with us.” Another friend, Kurrie Storey, noted, “He was very much a larger-than-life character. He was almost cartoon-like, between Wile E. Coyote and Capt. America. I never met a character like him and I never will.” Reverend Karen Smart noted Johnson was a “vibrant, up-front kind of guy. He and Susan were married for 41 years and they built a warm and welcoming home in Brougham.” Rev. Smart read a note by Johnson’s son Chris. “My dad taught me how to catch a ball, swing a golf club, how to skate and to shake hands and look the person in the eye,” Chris wrote. “My dad taught me how to be the man I am today.” Johnson is survived by his wife Susan, son Chris, daughter-in-law Cathy, moth- er Lorene, siblings Randy, Doug, Mark and Denise, and his ‘grand-dogs’ Hershey and Nestle. He’s predeceased by his son Russell, father Ivan and brother Mike. A ‘larger-than-life character’ Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- The funeral for Rick Johnson was at the Dr. Nelson F.

Raymond Hubbard no longer employed within Durham District School Board BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An elementary school teacher charged earlier this year with lur- ing a child is no longer employed by the Durham District School Board after pleading guilty and being sentenced to jail time. Court records indicate that Raymond Hubbard of Ajax pleaded guilty in June to a single count of luring a child to facilitate sexual interference and was sentenced to 115 days in jail, after which he’s to be placed on probation for two years. Hubbard, 52, was given credit for the equivalent of 250 days in pretrial custody. At the time of his arrest, a Durham District School Board representative said Hubbard was suspended while awaiting trial. His employment has since been terminated, the board has confirmed. “The teacher in question is no longer an employee with the Durham Dis- trict School Board,” spokesman Charles Senior said. Hubbard, a Grade 1 teacher whose last posting was at Terry Fox Public School in Ajax, was charged in early January with three counts of Internet luring. Durham police launched an investigation after receiving a tip from police in Michigan that a teenaged girl there had been involved in online communications with him. A Durham cop posing as a 14-year-old girl had further online conversations with the suspect; those communications led to arrangements to meet for a sexual encounter, police said. Hubbard was denied bail when he appeared in court in January. In addition to jail time and probation, he’s been ordered to provide police with a sample of his DNA and will be placed on the national sex offender reg- istry for 20 years. Hubbard began teaching at Terry Fox P.S. in 2013. Prior to that, he taught at Lincoln Alexander P.S. from 2003 to 2013. Ajax teacher jailed after guilty plea to child luring Submitted photo AJAX -- Raymond Hubbard, 52, pleaded guilty to luring a child to facilitate sexual interference. He received 115 days in jail and was placed on probation for two years. The longtime Ajax teacher has subsequently had his employment terminated by the Durham District School Board. 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 • Oc t o b e r 5 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP Pickering |1095KingstonRd |905.420.6001 Nopayment,nointerestfor6monthsOAC.*Seestorefordetails.

The resolution calls on Ottawa to increase funding for wired and wireless infrastructure for the expansion and extension of broadband connectivity to underserved businesses and communities and to benchmark Cana- da’s Internet speeds and access versus competitor juris- dictions. APBOT executive director Kathy McKay said when pro- posing the resolution, high-speed broadband access is as important to the 21st century economy as roads and bridges were to the 19th and 20th century economies. “While major infrastructure is always costly, we need to focus on the fact that not keeping up will be more costly,” she said. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is Canada’s leading business organization made up mainly of the network of boards of trade and chambers of commerce across Canada. The APBOT and the Newmarket Cham- ber of Commerce have taken the lead on this file and passed a similar resolution at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce earlier this year. “Some may argue that there is no role for government in helping Canada to adapt to this change, but just like the Grand Trunk Railway, the Trans-Canada Highway and every other major infrastructure project, the efforts and investments of both the public and private sectors are needed to get us where we need to be on time,” said McKay. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O’Connell said in a statement she’s met with the mayor and councillors from both Pickering and Uxbridge and local business own- ers, and heard about the need for better access to broad- band, not only in rural areas but also in urban parts that have limited access in the community. In the 2016 budget, $500 million was earmarked for investments to strengthen broadband connectivity for rural and remote communities. “Our government recognizes that in modern econo- mies, it’s crucial that businesses and residents across the country have access to high-speed Internet,” she said. “I continue to raise the specific needs of Pickering- Uxbridge to (Navdeep Bains, minister of innovation, sci- ence and economic development) and will work with local leaders and businesses to ensure the investments from our government are implemented in ways that meet our local needs.” Pickering council recently adopted a ‘Dig Once’ stan- dard, meaning designs for future City road construction projects will include an additional conduit to accommo- date future broadband requirements. The conduit will then be in place to allow for fibre optic cable when the City wants to have it installed. Over time, as road con- struction proceeds, ‘Dig Once’ will ensure that broad- band service can be accommodated with a tiny incre- mental increase to the cost of future road construction projects.

More than 100 charges have been laid against the suspects, who were stopped Sept. 28 as they attempted to drive away from a store with a vehicle containing more than $3,000 illegally obtained merchandise, Dur- ham police said. The scam began with a man obtaining a credit card at the Oshawa Cen- tre by using false identification, police said. A suspect made purchases at the mall with the card, then left in a Lexus SUV and drove to the Canadian Tire store on the south side of Gibb Street, where he obtained another cred- it card. Police were alerted about a possible fraud in progress and stopped a suspect and two passengers as they were about to leave the store. Seized were four vacuums, cloth- ing, two laptops and three iPhones. Cops also discovered an ounce of marijuana. Facing numerous fraud-related charges are Jovon Chen, 27, of Homecrest Trail, Toron- to, Nikiesha Edwards, 26, of Railroad Street, Brampton, and 28-year-old Ryan Campbell of Viewcrest Circle, Toronto.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column our opinion The Durham Region Employment Net- work has operated and helped Durham Region residents for 23 years. The work the organization does is vital for people facing barriers to employment such as those who have disabilities. That is why DREN was recognized with the David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility recently. One would think that given the help DREN continues to provide some of Dur- ham Region’s most vulnerable job seek- ers it would be a no-brainer for the Prov- ince to approve its funding. But it didn’t. In fact the organization was forced to operate for more than five months with- out project funding that was expected to flow April 1, 2016 said DREN’s executive director Donna McAllister. But after months without funds -- and many phone calls and letters -- McAllis- ter says they were told in July to submit a new application, which was then denied in late August. “By that time we had run out of money and resources,” she says. “We had no choice but to go ahead with dissolving the organization.” So what changed the government’s mind? Public shaming. Whitby MPP Lorne Coe peppered Pick- ering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy Mac- Charles in the Legislature. He wanted to know why the Province could turn its back and its funding away from DREN. Considering MacCharles is not only a local MPP but also a minister in the Lib- eral government responsible for accessi- bility issues she was the perfect target for the question. “Governing is about priorities, and it’s clear this government has lost its moral compass,” Coe said. Within a week DREN got word, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development had approved funding for a one-year project. It’s also expected DREN will receive one-time funding of $25,000 from municipal gov- ernment. “I have been involved in discussions this past week to ensure that the key function and role of DREN can continue in our community. I look forward to fol- lowing DREN’s work as it continues to support those seeking to overcome bar- riers to employment,” MacCharles said. This is a disturbing trend when it comes to the Liberal government and one that MacCharles seems to find herself in from time to time. It’s more than willing to cut funding for programs that impact our most vulnerable citizens until public outrage changes the government’s mind. Remember it was MacCharles who was the minister of children and youth ser- vices when the Liberals attempted to change the Province’s program for chil- dren with autism. Outrage and shame helped the Liberals see the error of their ways. Pity it always has to come to that in order for them to do the right thing. DREN provides assistance to people with disabilities so they can lead more productive and dignified lives. The orga- nization should not have to apply, re- apply and then resort to desperate mea- sures to continue its work. Shame on the government for forcing them into this untenable situation. Shaming the Province into doing what’s right Do social media sites control us? Do social media sites control us? This is one of the many ques- tions my students and I try to answer in UOIT’s Commu- nication and Digital Media Studies pro- gram. Some of my students take the side of “technological determinism.” This is the idea that social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube cause massive social changes, everywhere, all at once. This claim often runs on contradictory lines. Social media sites lower our self-esteem and build confidence. Social media turns us into selfie-obsessed narcissists and empathetic humanitarians. Social media dumbs us down and enlightens us. You get the idea. Social media sites con- trol the way we think and behave. The problem with technological deter- minism is that it treats social media sites as if they are human, with hearts and minds of their own, and a will to act upon the world. Yet, your Facebook page does not conspire to help or harm society. Your Twitter feed does not plot to make the world a better or worse place than it was before. People, who strive to understand and change the world, do. The flipside of technological determin- ism is “technological instrumentalism.” Many of my students identify with this idea: we control social media sites and we, not technology, make history (and with smartphones in hand). Social media sites are just “tools” we choose to use in any which way we like, for ends, good and bad. For example, we might use Facebook to bring awareness to issues like inequal- ity, racism, and climate change. Or maybe we’ll watch Taylor Swift vids. We might tweet in support of Black Lives Matter. Maybe make YouTube videos about our pets. But critics of technological instrumen- talism remind us that we can’t always do whatever we like with social media sites. In fact, social media sites are made to pro- scribe and constrain our uses of them. The “Terms of Service” define many of these in the fine print. On Twitter we can express ourselves -- but within a 140 char- acter limit. To use Facebook, we must consent to have our information collect- ed, used and shared by it. As you can see, both determinism and instrumentalism have their limits. A third and better way of thinking about social media sites is called “the social shaping of technology.” In this approach, we explore how certain people, not all of us, make choices to try to control the workings of social media sites. CEOs, board members and sharehold- ers make choices that influence how social media sites run to turn a profit. The engineers, designers and programmers employed by social media firms make choices about the operations of the sites we “log in” to each day. They create and update the algorithms that make top- ics trend on Facebook, feed Twitter news feeds and recommend YouTube vids to us. They build interfaces in anticipation of uses by certain users. They monitor what users are up to and sometimes re-design sites in response. So, does social media control us? Yes, no and maybe so. The answer depends on whether you are a determin- ist, instrumentalist or social historian. And that is your choice. -- Tanner Mirrlees is the director of the communication and digital media studies program, faculty of social sci- ence and humanities, at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology.

The 25,000-square-foot grocery store was packed on Saturday, Oct. 1 as customers flocked to the outlet to see what it was all about. Donna Saunders of Ajax said, “I like it. They’re very friendly. It’s a nice clean store and they have different foods.” Karen Mortimer of Pickering had similar sentiments. “It’s great. It’s the first time I’ve been here. I know they have one in Whitby, but I haven’t been there yet. It looks great.” She noted the prepared foods provide “a lot of convenience for people on the go. I wouldn’t normally buy it, but it’s enticing for sure.” Joining her was her sister Julie Simmons of Etobicoke, who was putting together a salad. In addition to an extensive salad bar, there’s a station making fresh sushi, anoth- er for pizza, an actual butcher’s counter, a bakery, a large deli counter featuring more than 200 cheeses, and breakfast and lunch counter. “It’s great, if you can afford it,” laughed Anne-Marie Rudolfo. “The stuff is all nice and fresh. It’s really very nice.” “We’re very excited to open Farm Boy’s doors to the Pickering community,” said Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy, during the grand opening last week. “With us, it’s all about the food -- offering the freshest high quality food along with the best customer experience. We look forward to welcom- ing the neighbourhood into our store and want to thank the community and our neighbours in Pickering for their support.” Employee Matt Hodkinson started with the company in 2002 at its first location, a store on Sydney Street in Cornwall. “I started in cleanup when I was 16 or 17. I kind of went from there to cutting meat and then the meat-cutting supervisor to assistant meat manager and then meat manager,” Hodkinson said. He stayed at the Cornwall store for 13 years, before heading to the Whitby store to help open that location. Asked if he’s a Farm Boy lifer, Hodkin- son said, “Oh yeah, through and through. I wouldn’t imagine being anywhere else for sure.” On this day, he offered free samples of brisket with champagne mustard. Farm Boy opened a store on Taunton Road in Whitby in August last year. The Pickering outlet is the 23rd Farm Boy location in Ontario. Lesley Pike said, “I like it. I like the meat department. I use to go to the one in Whitby, but I live in Pickering. There are things you can’t get at other grocery stores.” On Saturday, free samples of Margherita pizza were put out and all were taken with- in a minute. Marie G.

The Durham Region Chapter meets four times a year to select and donate to a local charity. Each member donates $100 at each meeting to the voted upon charity in order to raise a total of $10,000 for donation. Initially formed in early 2015 by Julie Kobrynovich with great help from Angela Longley, to date the group has spearheaded donations totaling over $18,000 to such worthy groups as Rose of Durham, Dreams & Wishes Children’s Charity, The Refuge Outreach, St. Vincent’s Kitchen, Denise House and Their Opportunity. Next meeting is Monday, October 17 at Kedron Dells Golf Club on Ritson Rd. North. Come and get involved.

Before you take on the task be sure you know what’s involved.An executor is the legal representative named in a will to administer an estate when someone dies. It’s not a simple job. Here are a few of the duties of an executor. • Locate and read the will. • Help with funeral arrangements. • Consult with a lawyer and/or gather information and forms from the government website to begin the process of obtaining a grant of probate. • Locate and deal with beneficiaries. • Deal with financial institutions, eg open a bank account for the estate. • Pay debts, taxes and funeral expenses. • File the deceased’s terminal income tax return. • Distribute assets as specified in the will, general when the Canada RevenueAgency provides a tax clearance certificate. • Consider executor insurance to reduce your risk of personal liability (particularly relevant in Ontario and British Columbia). Some of these duties can require considerable financial acumen.And at the very least people skills may be involved at a time when relatives are bereaved. If you’re not up to the job, don’t take it on.

BY BILL BRIOUX LeVar Burton admits his world turned upside down when he was cast as Kunta Kinte in Roots. Based on the novel by Alex Haley, the 1977 miniseries drew a then record num- ber of viewers. “I was a 19-year old kid from Sacramen- to, California, a theatre major at USC, real- ly looking to go to Broadway and work on stage,” says Burton. “So to be dropped into the middle of that universe was really kind of overwhelming.” It’s hard to put in perspective how much television has changed since Roots pre- miered in 1977. There was no Netflix, no Internet, no cable and only three main American networks, plus PBS. “There were no VCRs or PVRs,” adds Bur- ton. “You watched at night and it became the conversation the next day. And Roots created a national conversation and a national shared experience.” Burton was honoured earlier this year at the Banff International Media Festival. Besides being associated with Roots, he enjoyed a seven-year run on Star Trek: The Next Generation as Geordi La Forge and later spent more than 20 years on PBS as host of Reading Rainbow. The 59-year-old recently helped produce a re-boot of Roots for a new generation. That miniseries is currently available to stream in Canada on-demand on CraveTV. Interviewed at Banff, he spoke about being the raw rookie in an epic miniseries about a topic still tender in America: slavery. His co-stars included icons of the African American acting community, including Cicely Tyson, Maya Angelou and Lou Gos- sett, Jr. “It was amazing because they took me under their wing. They certainly schooled me. They taught me directly and didacti- cally and by example as well. It was a mas- ter class.” The rest of the cast wasn’t half bad as well: Ed Asner, Ralph Waite, Chuck Connors, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Reed and Canadian Lorne Greene all played slave owners. It was a stroke of genius on the part of pro- ducer David Wolper, casting America’s favourite TV dads as the heavies in Roots. “It really lowered the barrier for white America, lowered the barrier of resistance,” says Burton. “I think that what it said was there’s a dark side in all of us that we must pay attention to.” Burton says, like everybody else, he grew up watching these dads on TV. “I watched The Rifleman, I watched Bonanza. I watched The Brady Bunch. I was a huge fan of all of these people. I watched the Mary Tyler Moore show. So it was noth- ing short of a thrill for me.” Shortly after Roots aired, Burton found himself thrust into a very different kind of TV circus: Battle of the Network Stars. Ahead of its time as a big-budget reality show, the series threw stars from all the networks together into various sporting events. It was a mini Olympics for actors and actresses at a time when viewers were obsessed with Wonder Woman, Charlie’s Angels and Laverne & Shirley. “It gave rise to several incarnations of that idea of celebrities engaging in competition sports,” says Burton, who remembers an international version where -- by virtue of the fact he was born on a U.S. army base in Germany -- he was assigned to the Europe- an team. Burton recalls running relay races with the lead singer of The Who, Roger Dal- trey, as well as British comedian Dudley Moore. “They don’t make television like that any- more,” he says. The actor’s next challenge was getting used to wearing a visor that left him with virtually no vision on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Star Trek creator Gene Rod- denberry offered him the role in 1986. “I had a love-hate relationship with my visor,” says Burton. “I had to learn how to navigate without seeing where my feet were. In the first season, I bumped into everything and everybody.” Still, after the series wrapped, Burton held onto the visor. “It sits in the box the prop man kept it in.” Burton feels he’s been blessed over the years by being mentored by three of the best storytellers in the TV business. The first two were Haley and Roddenberry, and he got to know both of them well. Haley, he says, “was very much a father and an older brother figure to me. Not only a great storyteller he was a great humani- tarian. I hung out with him an awful lot.” The third great storyteller who influenced him was Fred Rogers, the long-time PBS children’s host who counseled him during his years as host of Reading Rainbow.

S eniors need to make connections with people outside the home One of the biggest concerns that I hear about daily from families who are con- cerned about a parent is that he or she is not leaving the house. They have little or no social interaction in their day. Often times, the caregivers who come into the home are the only people they may see and, as a result, those visits become even more important. It is just as important for a senior to social- ize as it is for the rest of us. If left alone for long periods of time with no social inter- action, they may suffer from depression. Over time, you may begin to notice things like their interest in personal care or eating begins to decline. There are a number of centres through- out Durham Region dedicated to provid- ing activities for seniors that will keep them engaged and active and will sup- port a healthy aging process. If you look up ‘seniors services’ on the website for your local municipality, you should find sever- al programs that you can access. I recently attended a seniors’ fair at the Bowmanville Older Adult Association. There were tables set up for various vendors including finan- cial advisers, retirement residences and a host of other groups committed to provid- ing services for seniors. Hundreds of peo- ple made their way through and had an opportunity to sign up for activities for the fall and winter seasons, everything from billiards and square dancing to knitting and everything in-between. If your parent is living in his/her own home, it is very important to make sure he/ she is getting out and spending time with people who belong to the same age group. It’s important for them to make connec- tions with people who share a similar his- tory and can relate to some of the life expe- riences they have had. It’s important for them to have fun and to laugh. It’s impor- tant for them to feel alive! Life is not over just because they are getting older and they don’t just have to sit around and wait for their turn to pass. Many seniors experience significant health issues and mobility can become a problem but it shouldn’t stop them from getting out and enjoying time with friends old or new. I have heard some seniors com- plain “My friends are all gone. I have no one left.” That may be true but there are so many seniors out there who would love to make a new friend. If your parent tends to want to sit alone in his/her home, I would suggest you encourage them to go with you to an activity centre and just learn about what is available.

VOTED #1 Burton says Rogers, who died in 2003 at 74, was just as nice, gentle and kind off-screen as he was on. “I thought that was an act,” says Burton. “I was stunned to discover that that was genuine.” Prior to switching to a theatre major at USC, Burton briefly stud- ied for the priesthood. Besides being a children’s TV icon, Rogers was also a minister. “That was one of the levels on which Fred and I related,” says Burton. “More than anything else, Fred really gave me permission to use television as a ministry.” Ministering to children has been Burton’s vocation the past 33 years with the Reading Rain- bow brand. A few years after the series went off the air on PBS in 2006, Burton and his business partner re-imagined the series as an Educational App. A highly suc- cessful Kickstarter campaign has helped Reading Rainbow reach kids in schools as an on-going resource guide. “You want to reach kids today, you need to be on a digital device, because that’s where they are,” says Burton, who’s proud of the Reading Rainbow heritage. “We turned kids who know how to read into readers for life. That’s a powerful thing.” He’s also proud to have survived for so many years in the uncertain world of show business, especial- ly after being thrown into the deep end at 19 on the set of “Roots.” “Forty years later I’m still here and still making a contribution, still relevant in my efforts to add to the conversation; to empower kids through literacy; to tell pow- erful stories.” From page 17 Burton proud of Reading Rainbow, career longevity 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 • Oc t o b e r 5 , 2 0 1 6 21 AP R0 0 1 4 0 2 9 8 7 3 For a confidential interview please forward your resume tomiles.shrider@whitbytoyota.com Our thanks to all that apply but only those chosen for an interview will be contacted.
