She didn’t even know me.” His mother, Karen Rines-How- chin, rubbed her son’s fragile hand and said, “She’s part of you now. We will welcome her into our family.” The Pickering family waited with bated breath on July 16 for the arrival of Tammy Kline, the woman who donated the bone marrow that saved 19-year-old Mr. Rines’s life. Mr. Rines was born in Ajax and has lived in Pickering for the past 12 years. In 2003 he was diag- nosed with leukemia. “I fought it for a few years with treatment,” he said. “But, in 2005 I had a relapse while I was on treatment so they determined I needed a bone marrow trans- plant.” Doctors checked all members of his family, but no one was a close enough match. Mr. Rines said doctors then looked to the Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide registry and just when they were starting to get desperate a match was found. It turned out that 14 year’s prior, Ms. Kline, a frequent blood donor, was asked to have her The Pickering 36 PAGES ✦ Pressrun 48,900 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2007 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 An intangible industryAn intangible industry WHAT DRIVES DURHAM’S TOURISM SECTOR?

Pickering lowers fees to help get residents more active PICKERING — Reducing swim- ming and skating fees in Pickering helps more people get active, a Pickering councillor says. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles has been working to achieve this mostly because he says fees rise each year and he wants fami- lies to be able to enjoy the facilities in their city. “Some of your tax dollars go to- ward these facilities,” he said. “You should be able to come out and use them.” ✦ See Toonie, Page 2 bone marrow tested. She proved a good candidate, but it wasn’t until last December that she was identified as a match for Mr. Rines. On March 9, 2006, his 18th birthday, Mr. Rines underwent a bone marrow transplant. It seems to have taken pretty well, he said. “I’ve got some problems with my mouth and my gut from it. My skin is pretty rough, but at least I am alive,” he said. Following the surgery, Mr. Rines and his donor were allowed to write to each other, but the let- ters were censored by Canadian Blood Services so as not to reveal either’s identity or where they lived. After one year, they were al- lowed to meet if both agreed. “We wrote about our families, hobbies and basic interests,” Mr. Rines said. “Just like friends talk- ing and I was trying to tell her I was OK.” They wrote back and forth a few times and, from the very first letter, Ms. Kline expressed her desire to meet Mr. Rines when the year was up. When that day came the pair started talking on the phone and e-mailing. They sent pictures back and forth and started dis- cussing plans to meet. The meeting day came sooner than expected when Ms. Kline, a supply technician with the Cana- dian Forces in Greenwood, Nova Scotia, got a flight for her and her daughter on a Hercules military aircraft. She arrived just before 1 p.m. Monday, welcomed by flow- ers, balloons and one very ex- cited family. When the car pulled into the driveway and a vivacious Ms. Kline bounded to meet Mr. Rines, all of the trepidation about what to say seemed to slip away, re- placed with hugs and tears of joy. In a simple and sincere ex- pression of gratitude, Mr. Rines wrapped his arms around Ms. Kline and said, “Thank you. “I still haven’t come up with the words to properly thank you for what you have done,” he said after they retreated inside the house. “Your thanks is more than enough,” Ms. Kline said, holding Mr. Rines’s hand. “And if you ever need any more I am on reserve for you.” Ms. Kline explained she went through the same anticipation waiting to meet the young man she saved. “I was excited and wondering what they would think of me,” she said. “I was just thinking about all they have been through. But, most of all I think I was just anx- ious to find out if (the transplant) worked.” More than anything she wanted the see for herself that the young man, whom she had never met before, but cares about deeply nonetheless, was going to be all right.

The public swimming single admission was $2.36 previously and the skating admission was $3. Family ad- mission for both will now be $5, instead of the previous $10 for skating and $6.82 for swimming. Swimming on Saturdays, which is currently in place, is from 1 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Skating will be Saturdays from 8:30 to 10:15 a.m. beginning Sept. 22. “We’re trying to promote fitness and we’re trying to promote con- structive things for youth to do... and yet the price is creeping away and may be prohibiting some people from going,” Coun. Pickles said. He hopes the promotion gives families who may be financially restricted an opportunity to get active. “Even the families that can af- ford it, it may make them get out there more often in a keep-fit sort of scenario,” he said. Steve Reynolds, division head of culture and recreation at the City, said numbers will decide how long those prices last. Financial impli- cations on the report submitted to Council suggest revenue will be approximately $1,000 less for both swimming and skating. “But we hope the increase in numbers will offset the cost,” Mr. Reynolds said. Coun. Pickles said he doubts it will be a revenue-generating exer- cise, but doesn’t think it will take a big hit either. “If we get a few more hundred people out, that’s worth a thou- sand dollars,” he said. AJAX — Exhibitors and crafters are still needed for the Ajax Family Festival. The event takes place Sept. 8 and 9 at the Ajax Community Centre.

Matt Pegg, an Ajax deputy fire chief, said the second phase includes “understanding the community resources, who does what.” The group will also “identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and constraints” facing the community. Phase two runs to December and a final report will be presented to council in Febru- ary of next year, he said recently in a presen- tation to council. The motto for the exercise is ‘Making a Safe Community ... Safer,’ he noted. Ajax is joining with Safe Communities of Pickering-Ajax (SCOPA) and The Youth Cen- tre in the project. “They’re providing overall leadership, along with Town staff. We’re only one player in the team.” The steering committee has representa- tion from 12 groups, including the Durham Catholic District School Board, Durham District School Board, Durham Regional Police Services, John Howard Society, two residents, one of whom is an older adult, the Community Development Council of Durham, the Town’s recreation department, Veridian Corporation, SCOPA, The Youth Centre and Durham Region Social Services. Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford noted, “I didn’t notice anyone under 21. How will we get the wants and needs of youth?” Mr. Pegg said with the partners “we feel very confident with The Youth Centre and Town staff, we’ll be able to provide that perspective. It’s the feeling of the project management team, with the representatives of The Youth Centre, youth will be well rep- resented.” Coun. Crawford added, “I’d hate to go through the process and feel we’ve missed a segment.” Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown raised the issue of safe driving, noting, “Not a day goes by when all of us get a complaint. Ajax people are driving unsafe in the community. There’s a real problem out there and it has to be addressed.” pickeringtowncentre.com SUMMER SIDEWALK SALE FREE New“Go Green” Monday, July 16th to Sunday, July 22nd * reusable bag!

The man is accused of keeping the money he made from selling hundreds of chocolate bars on be- half of Opportunities for the Dis- abled Foundation -- an estimated $10,000 in total. Police say more than 180 busi- nesses across Durham Region purchased the chocolate bars -- ranging from convenience stores and hair salons to restaurants and appliance stores. Police were alerted to the al- leged scam in June by a Whitby businesswoman who became sus- picious after the man who had sold her $60 worth of chocolate bars came back two days later try- ing to sell her a karaoke machine. Daniel Furlong, 51, is charged with defrauding the public over $5,000, forging a trade mark and forgery. Mr. Furlong has no affiliation with the registered charity, police said. Police say the scam ran from the summer of 2006 until June of 2007. Anyone with new information about this investigation is asked to contact D/Cst. Leon Presner at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1845.

Anne O’Brien will replace Paul Pulla DURHAM — An Ajax principal is moving on up to become a superintendent of education at the Durham Catholic District School Board. Anne O’Brien, principal of St. Bernadette Catholic School, was approved for the position during the board’s July 18, special board meet- ing. Her position is effective Aug. 13. She replaces Paul Pulla, who will become the new Catholic director of education Aug. 1. “Anne brings a variety of qualifications and ex- perience which complements our existing lead- ership team,” said Patricia Manson, director of education. Ms. O’Brien has been an educator with the Durham Catholic District School Board since 1991, during which time she’s been an elemen- tary principal and a co-ordinator of student services. Before joining the board, she was em- ployed by the Antigonish District School Board as a special education teacher. She’s been an instructional leader at the field development office, York University in special education, and has a master of education, bach- elor of education, and supervisory officer quali- fications.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 20, 2007 durhamregion.com Durham West league a big supplier of national hockey talent A jax and Pickering and, specifically the Durham West Girls’ Hockey Association, are becoming recog- nized as a national training ground for top-flight players. And, one need look no further than several Durham West Junior Lightning players who’ve been attending national training camps since the season ended in April. Local Lightning players Jennifer Wake- field, Lisa Plenderleith, Natalie Spooner and Tara Watchorn travelled to Calgary in May to attend a fitness evaluation camp for Team Canada’s under-19/under-18 program. In June, Plenderleith returned to Calgary for a goalie evaluation camp for eight under-22 netminders and eight under-19 tenders. Following the initial fitness testing, all four players have been invited back to the Team Canada camp this month. Most remarkable is four of the 11 Ontario play- ers invited to the camp were from the Durham West organization. For Spooner and Watchorn, the camp could be a precursor to being added to Canada’s roster at the Women’s World Hockey Championships, slated to be hosted in Canada in January of next year. They could also be invited to play for Canada at a series of games against the American under-18 squad in Lake Placid, New York in August. If that weren’t enough on-ice activities for Spooner and Watchorn, they’re also currently attending Team Ontario tryouts this summer in preparation for the under- 18 nationals in Kitchener in November. And, although Wakefield and Plender- leith are ineligible for the under-18 cham- pionships, they are also on the radar to possibly be part of the Canadian under- 22 women’s team that begins training camp next month. Incidentally, Wakefield (who graduated from Dunbarton High) and Plender- leith (a Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School grad) were recognized as ‘Faces of the Future’ by the News Advertiser in its annual publication released last month. Both girls have already locked up full athletic scholarships, Wakefield to the powerhouse University of New Hamp- shire women’s hockey program and Plenderleith to Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. Both begin their collegiate careers in August. And, apparently, Watchorn and Spoon- er won’t be far behind in finding a NCAA Division 1 program to call their home next fall. Both are currently being recruit- ed by a number of U.S. Division 1 coaches who hope to put them in their school’s uniform next September. As a region more recognized for nucle- ar power and as a bedroom community for Toronto than anything else, west Dur- ham can certainly lay claim to the fact that we’re a big-time supplier of female hockey talent to the national programs. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com. Al Rivett sports editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Raise a cup and remember a soldier Gift certificates honour memory of Trooper Darryl Caswell Raising a toast to the memory of a loved one is a time-hon- oured way to take a moment to appreciate all the quali- ties that person embodied while he was with us. And in that spirit, there can be no more fitting tribute to a fallen Canadian soldier than to raise a cup of Tim Hortons cof- fee in his memory. Soldiers serving in Kandahar in the NATO-led mission in Af- ghanistan will get just that opportunity thanks to the generosity of a local group of volunteers. Dubbed ROSE -- for Rays of Sunshine Everywhere -- the group is sending gift certificates to Afghanistan so that soldiers can grab a free cup at the Tim Hortons outlet set up there. And, most importantly, included in with the certificates is a letter which states, “Raise a cup in loving memory of Darryl Cas- well.” Trooper Darryl Caswell was the Bowmanville native who lost his life June 11 when a roadside bomb detonated near the vehicle he was travelling in about 40 kilometres outside the Canadian armed forces base in Kandahar. The tribute to Trooper Caswell is especially fitting for it’s said that while in training at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, the soldier thought nothing of getting on his motorcycle and travel- ling to Ottawa for a hot, steaming cup of Tim’s joe. Lieutenant Colonel John Conrad, a Clarington resident, was on hand recently to meet with ROSE volunteers and the Caswell family and appreciates the gesture of a little bit of Tim’s thousands of kilometres away. He’s also buoyed by the strong support of local citizens who make a point of assembling on 401 overpasses when a convoy of military hearses make the sad journey from Trenton to To- ronto following repatriation ceremonies. The crowds have been increasing in size with many Ca- nadian flags in evidence and plenty of firefighters and EMS workers on site eager to show their support for the troops. “The one thing that is absolutely clear is that, here at home, in small-town Canada where Canada truly exists, we are drawing support.” So next time you drink a cup, remember the sacrifices being made thousands of kilometres away. No doubt our troops will. Layton cartoon was over the top Re: July 11 editorial cartoon. That did it! For a moment I thought I was living in the States during the McCarthy era when anyone who spoke out against government policy was labelled a Communist. For the record, I am not a supporter of Jack Layton but I admire his courage to speak from his heart. He has been advocating bringing our troops home from this bloody endeavour for quite some time - and it would seem many of your readers agree with him. Does this mean that all those who would like to remove our troops from harm’s way are Taliban sympathizers?

FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS: Visit durhamregion.typepad.com Rwanda, the Land of a Thousand Hills By Andrew Ng Special to the News Advertiser RWANDA — “How do you like my country?” Rwandans ask me that when I tell them I’ve been in Rwanda for a week. I say I love it. So far, living in an African country hasn’t been as dif- ficult as many people would think. Rwanda is safe and peaceful. Of course, pov- erty and HIV/AIDS are still some of the huge issues but in the 13 years since a civil war and genocide, Rwanda has remarkably rebuilt itself into a great place to live. It’s especially true in the capital, Kigali. It has all the makings of an average Ca- nadian city: Internet access, public transportation, bars and night clubs, good res- taurants and great shops. The city is beautiful. Rwanda is nicknamed, The Land of a Thousand Hills, and walking around Kigali, I can see why. Most of the time, I’m either walking up- hill or downhill. The city is spread out over dozens of hills and looking from any- where, it’s amazing to see the buildings dip down one hillside, then rise up anoth- er until it rolls behind the horizon and continues on. For the two months here, I guarantee that it will never rain. They don’t need weather forecasts on the news. During the summer months, Rwanda is com- pletely dry. I’m amazed by how the grass stays so green and the trees are always so lush. Fruit dangles from the branches in a much more impressive fashion than they would at home (if any of the trees in Pickering can even bear fruit). The downtown area is constantly bustling, pedes- trians crowding the side- walks, vendors pushing merchandise in my face hoping I buy from them. And there are cars. Tons of cars. The amount of traffic in the city, combined with very lax traffic laws and very few traffic lights, might sound like a bad situation. It’s still not that dangerous. But the exhaust the cars puff out is brutal. Pollution is a big problem in many Afri- can cities. The nasty smell makes me hesitate a bit be- fore opening the window on the bus. Other than that, Kigali is a remarkably clean city. There is almost no lit- ter. It’s amazing because I have trouble finding gar- bage cans. The cleanliness is partly because of an event called Muganda, which takes place on the first Sat- urday of every month. It’s a day dedicated to a country- wide clean up. In the morn- ing, everybody helps to clean his or her community. Imagine if that happened in Canada.

Cost would run between $3,000 and $5,000 per bus By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — While Toronto commuters are captured on camera daily, it will be a few years before that’s the case in Durham. The Toronto Transit Commission started installing cameras on its buses and street- cars in October 2006. But, it will be another three-to-five years before riders can expect to see cameras on buses here, according to Durham Region Transit’s (DRT) general manager. “Currently it is not a priority for us,” Ted Galinis said. “We haven’t had any problems on our buses, up to this point.” When cameras do board the buses it will cost the Region between $3,000 and $5,000 per bus. Each bus would require six-to-eight cameras to capture different vantage points in order to be affective, Mr. Galinis said. “This type of material is easier to install when you are building the bus,” Mr. Galinis explained. “Because of the wiring, it is a challenge with the older fleet because you would have to strip the bus down.” As a result, he hopes buses that are or- dered in 2008 and 2009 to replace older vehicles will have the cameras installed. Putting the purchase off for a few years allows DRT to prioritize on some other elec- tronic needs, like electronic fare boxes, ac- cording to Mr. Galinis. In addition, the installation of cameras on DRT buses would require that a detailed policy be set up. Currently it would be diffi- cult to anticipate who would be responsible for the maintenance and security of the information from transit vehicles. “There are privacy issues to look at before we go full blast at this,” Mr. Galinis said.

He had been wanted on a Cana- da-wide warrant issued after cops here received a complaint from a boy who said he’d been sexually assaulted between 2002 and 2005 by a coach at a Lindsay gymnastics club. Police allege the coach be- friended the 11-year-old victim’s mother and began an inappropri- ate sexual relationship with the boy. Mr. Collingham has been charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual exploitation. He was remanded in custody after a bail hearing July 13 and was scheduled to make another court appearance by video Tuesday. Investigators want to talk to any- one who may have had contact with the man during his years in Dur- ham, Det.-Const. Stoddart said. A coach since 1995, Mr. Collingham has worked with Durham clubs including the Clarington Gymnas- tics Academy, Durham Whiz Kids and Gemini Gymnastics club. Anyone who has concerns or information is asked to call Det.- Const. Stoddart at 905-579-1520, ext. 5343. Honda races.

An Assertive Communi- ty Treatment (ACT) Team provides individualized treatment and recovery for people with severe men- tal health issues. ACT has been in Whitby since 1999 and Oshawa since 2006, but West Durham recently got its own, affiliated with the Rouge Valley Health Care System. “If you think about the people that are moving into Durham Region, it’s only natural that you’re going to need the extra support and services in our commu- nity to support those indi- viduals,” team leader Laura Boyko said. The ACT team, which cost the ministry of health and long-term care $1.2 million to fund, ends up re- ducing hospital costs. Ms. Boyko explained the cost of hospital beds for individu- als using the ACT program after two years goes from $40,000 per year to $10,000. “It saves the ministry about $105 million in hos- pital bed costs,” Ms. Boyko said. The primary goal of ACT is recovery. It’s character- ized by a team approach, and has a smaller-than-av- erage caseload. Ms. Boyko explained the current stan- dard of case management in Ontario is one case- worker to 20 individuals. The interdisciplinary team in Pickering, made up of nurses, psychiatrists, social workers and occupational workers that collectively speaks nine languages, will have eight clinicians and 80 to 90 clients, creating a 1-to- 10 ratio. “The reason for that is because the people that we serve have much higher service needs,” Ms. Boyko said. “We’re able to go in to see people anywhere from three times a week to a daily basis, including weekends and evenings.” She explained 75 to 80 per cent of the services are provided in the individual’s home or community, usu- ally because most don’t re- spond well to an office envi- ronment. “We take the psychiatrist to the home, which people are completely blown away by,” she said. The team treats individu- als with psychotic disorders like schizophrenia and bi- polar disorder, and people with severe depression or concurrent disorders such as addiction issues. Treat- ment includes helping with activities of daily living such as medication manage- ment, developing leisure activities, and helping with finances. There is also a physical health component since a large portion of the individ- uals will develop or already have diabetes due to weight gain as a medication side effect. Ms. Boyko, who assesses referrals, explained indi- viduals can be referred to the voluntary program by a number of people, including doctors, family members or themselves. Criteria include frequent hospitalization, having a mental illness and experiencing difficulty with everyday functional activi- ties such as finding suitable housing or work. The pro- gram also provides support for families. “The families are strug- gling to support these indi- viduals because they need a high level of support and it’s hard for families to do that day in and day out,” she said.

Now, other soldiers will be able to have a cup of Tim Hortons coffee in the name of the 25-year-old Bowmanville solider, killed last month in Afghanistan. The ROSE -- which stands for Rays of Sunshine Everywhere -- Volunteers have, over the last several months, been donating gift certificates for the popular coffee joint to troops in Af- ghanistan. “We’re going to send them every three months until they come home,” said Mary Taylor, a Bowmanville resident who is a member of the organization. The idea was to provide a “touch of home” to Cana- dian troops in Khandahar. Originally, they were going to send coffee, “but it’s easi- er to get gift certificates in a plane than coffee,” said Ms. Taylor. With a Tim Hortons on the base at Khandahar, the certificates can be put to good use. “In that 8 (foot) by 8 (foot) space, while you order, you’re home for a minute,” said Lieutenant Colonel John Conrad, a Clarington resident, who, as a logistics commander, led the team responsible for opening the Tim’s on the Afghanistan base. Being able to take advan- tage of the Tim Hortons on site allows the soldiers over- seas a little emotional relief, he said. “Warfare is fought on the physical and mental plane,” he said. And take advantage, the soldiers do, said Lt. Colonel Conrad. The Tim Hortons opened a year ago Canada Day, while he was still serv- ing in Afghanistan. “We had what they thought was a four-month supply of donut batter,” he said. “By mid-July, we were out of donuts.” Ensuring supply of the necessary ingredients for the Tim’s operation was an important and challenging aspect of his job, said Lt. Colonel Conrad. “You can only get so much through a straw,” he said, of the logistical chal- lenge of getting supplies to the Khandahar base. “It’s a guns or butter argument.” So, the gift certificates will be appreciated, he said. Along with the gift certifi- cates, the ROSE Volunteers have chosen to set up an award for the Cadet Corps in honour of Trooper Cas- well, for use for summer camp. “We called it the Spirit of Service, because that’s what Darryl had,” said Ms. Taylor. The award in their son’s name is a “great honour,” said Trooper Caswell’s step- mother, Christine, noting her stepson was a cadet in Oshawa. The family remains in awe of the support they’ve received here at home and from around the world. On Tuesday, they received a letter from Prince Charles, who is the Colonel in Chief of the Royal Canadian Dra- goons, of which Trooper Caswell was a member. “We’re overwhelmed and touched by it all,” said the trooper’s father, Paul. The gift certificates will be sent on to Afghanistan immediately, promised Lt. Colonel Conrad. “Raise a cup in loving memory of Darryl Caswell,” reads the letter to be sent along with them.

I wouldn’t argue with that. I would add though, that in most homes it is also the room that sees the most action, the place where family gets together and where close friends settle in to chat. The front of the fridge is the message centre, and when you throw an informal party, where do the guests gather? I rest my case. So, shouldn’t you make absolutely sure that your kitchen reflects your style and your character, just as much as the living room and the bedrooms? Not only in your choice of appliances and cabinets, but in all the features that can make a room special to you? I shared this thought recently with Mary Dobson, who is a regular on Citytv’s CityLine, and who is also a spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada. “I see more and more kitchens that have been given a distinct character,” says Mary. “I don’t mean the notorious million-dollar trophy kitchens, which are so often just show kitchens, hardly ever used. I’m talking about working kitchens, family kitch- ens, that share colours with the rest of the home, or a style - Casual Country, Metro Mod, and Eco Chic which are popular right now. And in many of these well-thought- out kitchens I’m seeing creative window treatments, because the way natural light is controlled is just as important in the kitchen as in any other room.” I asked if there were any practical limitations on the type of shades used in a kitchen. Mary mentioned ease of cleaning as a possible issue, especially if the shade is close to a cooking area. Faux wood blinds can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, and so can many cellular shades. Vinyl and aluminum can be cleaned with soap and water. “Sometimes it may be difficult to reach a window if there’s a counter in the way,” Mary added. “In that case one of Levolor’s motorized or cordless tilt and lift options could be a god- send. For example, the vanes of a blind can be opened and closed using a simple remote.” I asked Mary to show us one of her favou- rite kitchen window treatments. She chose a compact kitchen in a Techno style, with lots of stainless steel.

A summer of contests Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMIYour community... online By Danielle Milley Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — With summer now officially here many Durham residents are spending more time outdoors, but this could be harm- ful to their health. “Summer is a time that people look for- ward to, but with high UV rates and rising temperatures, it’s important that people pro- tect themselves,” says Chris Arnott, a public health nurse with the Region of Durham Health Department. One big concern is sun exposure, which can mean sunburn. “Sunburns and exposure that adds up over time dramatically increase your risk of skin cancer,” Ms. Arnott says, adding skin cancer is actually the most common type of cancer in Canada. The most effective way to minimize risk is to use a combination of factors including wearing sunscreen (at least SPF 30), limiting time spent outside during peak hours, wear- ing appropriate clothing, and accessorizing with a hat and sunglasses. The sun’s rays are strongest between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. so it’s best to plan outside activities in the early morning or evening. It’s best to stay in the shade whenever pos- sible -- whether that be under a leafy tree or an umbrella. “Clothing is also really important too in reducing the amount of rays that reach your skin,” Ms. Arnott says. Clothing should be comfortable and cover as much skin as possible: for example wear a light T-shirt instead of a tank top to cover the shoulder area. It’s important to remember the sun’s rays can penetrate clothing so to see how much protection an item offers, hold it up to the light. When applying sunscreen, Ms. Arnott ad- vises people to apply it liberally. “It shouldn’t blend in right away. If you’re able to rub it in right away, you’re probably not using enough,” she says. Once applied it’s best to wait 15-30 minutes before going outside. Other health concerns during the summer are heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symp- toms of heat exhaustion include sweating heavily (but with cool skin), a weak pulse, fainting, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, ex- haustion and headaches. People suffering from heat exhaustion should lie down in a cool place, loosen or remove clothing, and put on cool wet clothes. They should sip water slowly and seek immediate medical attention if vomit- ing occurs. Heat stroke is a much more serious condi- tion where the body temperature rises, the pulse is strong and rapid, and breathing is shallow and rapid. Symptoms include a throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion and red, hot and dry skin (not sweating). Those suffering from heat stroke should be taken to a hospital immediately. West Nile Virus has been a summer con- cern in Durham Region since 2001. Protecting against the virus spread by mosquitoes involves taking precautions around the house and with yourself. “One thing people can do around their house is make sure they have screens and that they’re in good repair to keep mosqui- toes out,” says Laura Freeland, manager of environmental health with the Region of Durham Health Department.

From the Durham Region Health Department Covering the Pickering news scene kcalis@durhamregion.comREPORTER KRISTEN CALISNEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 22 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 20, 2007 DURHAM — The animals clamour as Colleen Pingle ap- proaches. Giving them a smile of acknowl- edgement, she fills up their bowls and pails with fresh water before returning across the field to the task at hand: taking flowers out of the greenhouse and onto the front display. The newly-expanded green- house sits partially empty as the warm weather beckons the flow- ers outside. But it won’t be empty for long. In a few months it will be filled up again -- this time with tourists. Much like the farm on which it sits, the greenhouse serves many purposes. “It is a great place to put people when it rains,” Ms. Pingle said. Once operated as a dairy farm, the Pingle’s Farm Market is now a multiplex of activity. On the property, located just north of Courtice, the family grows traditional cash crops as well as Ontario fruits, such as ap- ples and strawberries. But inside the quaint market -- in what used to be the dairy barn -- employees also sell fresh-made fudge, baked goods, honey and gifts. Outside on the 150-acre sprawl- ing property, the Pingles have set up secondary activities designed to keep visitors to the farm enter- tained for a longer period of time. There is the small pen of farm animals, the picnic tables and the children’s play area, which turns into a flurry of activity come Sep- tember -- including face-painting, carts and agriculture-oriented ac- tivities. In August, there will be the an- nual corn mazes, a large one for older children and adults and a small one for tots, as well as rides to the pumpkin patch later in the fall. “We get a lot of school groups coming here,” Ms. Pingle said. “And we have a lot of interest from families who want kids to come experience the farm. We also have a regular clientele and they bring their visitors here too.” As an ex- perienced entrepre- neur in the tourism business, Ms. Pingle knows the secret to success lies in offer- ing a quality product that has something fresh each year. “It’s about listening to the cus- tomers and understanding what they would want to do at the farm,” she said. “When we notice a gap, we try to fill it.” The Pingle’s farm is just one of the many attractions -- agricul- tural and otherwise -- vying for the attention of the region’s three million annual visitors. From agri- tourism to museums and galler- ies, Durham’s tourism sector in- jects the local economy with more than $208 million each year. Spread out over eight munic- ipalities and dozens of venues, the money is an important part of the region’s economic welfare. According to the Durham Region Economic Development depart- ment, the tourism industry ac- counts for 2,558 full- and part- time jobs and generates over $4.5 million in municipal tax revenue. “It is a vital sector,” says Andrea Monaghan, the region’s tourism manager. She says tourism sits alongside advanced manufacturing, energy and agriculture as the pillars that make up the local economy. As such, it forms a big part in the region’s economic development strategy. In 2005, the region undertook the Premier-ranked Tourist Des- tination project -- an involved process developed by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism to measure the market status of a destina- tion and complete a step-by-step inventory of the area’s tourism as- sets. The result was a comprehensive document Ms. Monaghan says forms the basis of the region’s strategy to develop and increase the value of tourism in the area. With a new logo already launched, the path to creating a brand image for Durham is al- ready being laid. “Good natured, good times,” speaks to the unique experiences -- such as the agri- tourism represented by the Pin- gles farm -- that visitors come to expect in Durham. But Ms. Monaghan says that where the industry will go from here depends on the needs and efforts of the individual business- es that make up the vastly differ- ent sector. “It really is going to be up to our tourism partners to decide what comes next.” Next week: Roadside Attraction -- creating Durham’s tourism iden- tity Business News Advertiser Friday, July 20 , 2007 newsdurhamregion.com TRENDset Note “Vacations are a time to discon- nect from the job, unwind and re-energize.

The superlatives have all been used and accolades given out in re- gards to her community spirit, in- volvement and generosity, her bub- bling personality and gracious de- meanour, her innate love of art and welcome encouragement of artists. I could go on but you get the idea. She’s had awards named after her (Scugog Council for the Arts named its new patron of the arts award for her), an art gallery, a bursary for those involved in studying the arts and she’s received awards herself. This past spring, Farndale re- ceived another honour, the John Mather Award from the Ontario Crafts Council, in appreciation of her contribution to crafts in Ontario. It’s given out annually by the OCC. For years, she and husband Doug served on the OCC board, travel- ling the province to see craftspeople and their work, encouraging, prais- ing and collecting. For her work is not just confined to Scugog or even Durham Region. It’s province- and even nation-wide. “I’m really honoured and hum- bled because of the company I will be in, some wonderful people... from all over,” Farndale said during an interview in her home. It’s more like an art gallery, really, with art on the walls, floor, shelves, stands in the form of paintings, sculptures, pottery, ceramics, glass, miniatures. “I love all forms of art because I think they enhance your daily life,” she said. “You look at a piece of glass in the sun and it just adds sparkle to your everyday life. You look at a piece of art and it brings a smile to your face.” Much as she does. “We buy what we like. It has to be pleasing to us. We have eclectic tastes. Some of them turn out to be investments ... but we didn’t buy it for an investment. There always seems to be a new work that pops up and away you go. That’s good. It helps keep us young.” Her connection to art goes back a number of years when she and Doug were newly married. They were travelling in the Maritimes and spotted a piece of art they liked in a Cape Breton studio. They wanted to find the artist but the studio wasn’t too helpful. They persisted and eventually found him. “That was the start,” she said. “We’ve just never stopped. We sold the painting about a year ago and it was purchased by a Halifax studio. It’s gone home.” (That’s something they like to do when they sell a piece from their collection -- they prefer to see it sold to a gallery or individual from the area the artist came from.) Born and raised in Port Perry, Farndale trained as a teacher, teach- ing in Toronto, Burlington and Ed- monton. She’s also worked for TD Bank, working on the first ATMs for the bank, where her husband worked at head office for years. About 32 years ago, she returned to town, setting up their home while Doug commuted to Toronto before retiring. She plunged right back into things, getting involved in the com- munity in all aspects -- the renova- tion of Town Hall 1873 the first time, the expansion of Lakeridge Health Port Perry, the establishment of the Scugog Choral Society. “We came back at a special time because it was just when they were starting to renovate the Town Hall the first time. We were right in our element,” she said. And then there was the art gallery in Scugog Memorial Public Library, a gallery which bears her name. “I was determined they were going to have an art gallery if it was the last thing I did,” she said. Of course, they did and it wasn’t. She’s still involved in many areas and will continue to be. But the arts hold a special place. “Every facet of art we enjoy,” she said. “We’re often very good friends of the artists and craftspeople whose art we collect and that makes it ex- tremely special to us. “I think we’ve always done that from our first acquisition,” she said about encouraging artists. “To en- courage a new artist... is something we want to do and have done. That encourages the artist and the craft- speople and you’re giving back to the community. We enjoy contrib- uting to all of the things we’re in- terested it. It all enhances your own life.” They’ve attended shows, bought art, told others about someone spe- cial, gone to studio tours. “It’s been educational for us,” she said. “It’s just opened our life up. I’m sure we get more out of it than they do. When you live with art, you can’t help but smile. It just broadens your whole world.” Carey Nicholson, artist, actor, director and choreographer, is one of the many artists who’ve received Farndale’s help. “If she hadn’t shaken my hand six or seven years ago in Uxbridge, I probably wouldn’t have been mo- tivated to do what I do,” she said, referring to an art show in Uxbridge where Farndale introduced herself and told her she should get her work ready for a show at the Kent Farn- dale Gallery. When Nicholson said she didn’t have enough work, Farndale told her not to worry since it would be a couple of years before she could get an exhibit there anyway. “I really think she’s been the gen- tle, persuasive reminder that art is a part of our community,” Nicholson said. “She’s always there remind- ing us of its importance. She’s cer- tainly putting art out under people’s noses. “She’s generous in sharing her wealth of experience. We (SCA) named our patron of the arts award for her because her name is an icon. We all know who we’re speaking about. She’s so positive and very generous with her time and advice.” Farndale is, she said, “a quiet, little force that’s always there. She’s deceptive in her small stature.” She’s also the backbone of the commu- nity, Nicholson said. “You feel you’ve got this little guardian angel watching over you.” Childhood friend Zula Hall de- scribes Farndale as strong, vivacious and spontaneous. “She’s great to talk up things. She’s always a great public relations per- son,” she said. “She always has the right words. She’s a hard worker. She knows so many people.” Farndale said she’s doing what many people in Port Perry are doing -- getting involved and active in their home. “I don’t think you could live in a better community. We’ve got every- thing here. What more could you ask for?” Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Friend of the arts Kent Farndale was honoured last month with the John Mather Award from the Ontario Crafts Council. ‘I love all forms of art because I think they enhance your daily life.

The second Central Ontario Region Quali- fier for the Regional Show Jumping Finals was held on Sunday at Audley Road Stables in Ajax. The qualifier was the second of three, with selection to the regional finals based on scores of the three qualifiers. The first qualifier was held in May and the third is to be held in August. There were four divisions of pre-entry riders competing in two classes each -- a medal class judged on equitation, both over fences and at various gaits on the flat, and a single round plus jump-off class plus a warm-up round. The higher divisions competed in three classes each -- a medal class, a single round plus jump-off class, and a power and speed class, to determine a champion and a reserve in each division. Pre-Entry Division A-1 In Class 1, the medal class, first place went to Colin Oldridge of the Victoria Pony Club rid- ing Snow Pony Jack Pine, with Isabel Brims of the Whitchurch Pony Club second on Grover and Rachel Scott of the Victoria Pony Club third on Peanut.

Panthers hire new head coach Aurora Tigers assistant to lead Pickering PICKERING — It didn’t take long for the Pickering Panthers to find a new bench boss. And, the team reached into the ranks of the Canadian Junior ‘A’ championship team for its coach for the 2007-08 season. Mark Joslin has been hired to replace Pat Curcio, who left after one season to take an assistant coaching job with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Joslin has been an assistant with the Au- rora Tigers for three years. Aurora this past season won the Royal Bank Championship, emblematic of junior ‘A’ supremacy. “We’re very fortunate to come up with a coach of Mark’s capability in such a short period,” says Panthers’ general manager Frank Robinson. A life-long Richmond Hill resident, Jos- lin has been involved in coaching in the Richmond Hill minor hockey system. He’s also had coaching experience at the GTHL level. Joslin also runs an elite hockey training camp, where he trains about 30 OHL play- ers and prospects. He’s also a scout with the Barrie Colts of the OHL. Robinson pointed to four factors that made Joslin a good fit -- junior ‘A’ experi- ence, a good teacher, a winner and “last but not least, a good person.” Current Panther assistant coaches Mike Heffering and John Walters will return to their positions.

Asling (nee Rae) passed away July 15/ 07 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She was born February 21/ 33 in North York Ontario and spent her child and teen years in Goodwood and Espanola Ontario. She completed her training as a registered nurse in 1953 at Toronto East General Hospital. She started at Ajax/ Pickering General Hospital and then worked at Humber Memorial in Toronto until 1960. She is survived by her husband Ron. They married in 1957 and they returned to Ajax in 1960 to settle and start a family. Ron & Millie have three children. She is pre-deceased by her eldest Joanne Melnyk (Al - Emily, Grant) and survived by Greg Asling (Debbie - Mitchell, Morgan) and Georgia Greidanus (Aus - Sophie, Ava). Millie set the example for caring wife, loving mother and passionate professional. She worked shifts, part time and full time balancing family commitments while studying to further her nursing career. An upright afternoon nap to grab any rest available prior to the next game, camping trip, or shift was not uncommon. In 1977 the family moved west to Fort St John, BC. Millie continued to put her family first, but also accepted increasing responsibility at the hospital as Director of Nursing, Assistant Administrator, and Administrator until her retirement in 1996. In retirement, Ron & Millie traveled for 11/2 years through Canada and eventually settled in 1998 in their new home in Armstrong BC. She stayed involved in the community with the Red Cross Volunteer Service and loved working in the kitchen at the Curling Club with the Senior's Group. She never missed an opportunity for a game of Golf in the summer or a Curling match in the winter. A quick conversation with Millie always highlighted that family, and especially the Grandchildren were her priority. She will be missed by all who knew her.
