Wildlife Centre sole resource for injured animals By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A sad story of how, despite best efforts, one Ajax fam- ily was unable to save an injured bird’s life highlights a gap in this region’s response to wildlife. Jacquie Eyre’s daughters, aged 14 and 21, found an injured seagull on their property in Ajax on July 21. The bird had a broken wing, she said, so the family called the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC). Unfortunately, after three days of phone tag with the TWC, when arrangements were finally made for a volunteer to come out to Ajax to pick up the animal, the bird had died. “Had it been a dog or a cat or, God forbid, one of Canada’s animals like a beaver what would have happened,” Ms. Eyre said. “I know it was a seagull and people think they are annoying, but be- sides the point, it is still a living, breathing creature.” After the bird passed, Ms. Eyre said she had quite a time find- ing someone to come and pick up the carcass. She called around to a number of organizations until finally the Town of Ajax came to retrieve the animal. “I am disgusted I can’t believe that bird had to die,” Ms. Eyre said. “Someone should have come out immediately.” Nathalie Karvonen, executive director of the TWC, agrees it was a terrible situation for the bird to be in. “We were actually quite upset that this animal was in this situ- ation for so long,” Ms. Karvonen said. “It was a terrible situation for the bird. It’s absolutely not some- thing that we would consider ac- ceptable.” She said the centre did all it could to try to arrange to pick up the bird.

Whitby’s fate was sealed the moment its lands near Lakeridge Road were frozen to development in the early 1990s to allow the Province to study the link, she argues. “Only the east side was frozen,” the mayor told the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and its consultants at an information meet- ing Thursday. “That same consideration wasn’t given on the (Ajax) side.” As a result, when the MTO began looking at the link again in more recent years, it found relatively less impacts in west Whitby than Ajax, which had been allowed to build homes, recreational facilities and business- es just over the border, Mayor Perkins said. “We have not in Whitby been treated fairly because of that issue,” she added. “Now (the link) will be severing a portion of our lands from the rest of Whitby.” Whitby has long hoped Lakeridge Road would form a more natural link than WL8, the technically preferred route that was identified by the MTO in the early 1990s but never submitted to the Minister of Environ- ment for approval. In this study, the MTO took another look at WL8, which had raised the concerns of residents in Queens Common, because it used Halls Road and came too close to their homes for comfort. Instead, consultants are recommend- ing WL7, “a compromised alternative” said Doug Allingham, project manager from Totten Sims Hubicki. It uses Halls Road but doesn’t extend as far east towards the neighbourhood. Mr. Allingham acknowledged the history surrounding the link and agreed with the mayor that because of the freeze, as a route, WL8 didn’t have many impacts. WL7 is the closest to the midpoint between Ajax and Whitby, he said. “But this was not an exercise to try and find a balance between Whitby and Ajax,” the engineer said. “Our job was to do a thorough techno- logical review within a study area.” The issue now becomes the future of Al- mond Village. Councillors say the new preferred route will cut the Whitby subdivision near Lak- eridge Road and the 401 entirely off from the rest of the Town. They argue those residents will be sand- wiched between two highways. Why not Lakeridge Road? While Lakeridge Road seems like an obvious link, consultants pointed out the following dif- ficulties: • a Lakeridge Road link would have too many negative impacts on the surrounding en- vironment. Building a link there would require constructing another major road to replace Lakeridge Road as a regional corridor, as re- quired by the Region. • widening the interchange at Lakeridge Road to accommodate the link would eliminate the Almond Village subdivision altogether. • Lakeridge Road also presents some diffi- cult ‘geometrics’ in terms of interchange design given its spatial relation to the Salem Road interchange in Ajax. • WL7, or the new Halls Road route, has less impact on water quality, fish habitat and other natural features and lower noise impacts than proposed routes using Lakeridge Road. To view the technically preferred route and links, visit www.407eastea.com. The public can comment this month. A concept design for the preferred route is being drafted this fall with the Environmental Assessment report to be filed to the Minister of Environment by the end of 2008. Ajax received better deal when 407 extension studied: Whitby mayor Timeline set for ’08 Ajax budget AJAX — Property owners should circle Feb. 25 on their 2008 calendar. That’s the day Ajax councillors are set to approve the Town’s budget, which will include a tax increase. In what range that increase will be won’t be known until October, says finance director Rob Ford. That’s when staff present the four-year general levy forecast. “That’s when they give us the guide- line,” he says. The tax increase this year was 3.5 per cent. When councillors set the target back in October for this year’s increase, Mayor Steve Parish suggested the goal of 3.5 per cent and decreasing it by one-quarter per cent each year until it’s 2.75 per cent in 2010. Whatever the increase is, one per cent of it will be used to address staff- ing issues. Mr. Ford notes staff begin “thinking of next year’s budget” around the time this year’s document is approved. hotline, calls go directly to a voice mail message. Hotline staff record the calls into a database and they are sort- ed in priority sequence. The injured seagull was a prior- ity, Ms. Karvonen said. “Seagulls are federally protected birds and we work with lots of them,” said Ms. Karvonen. What this situation comes down to, she said, is a re- source issue. She said the TWC is the sole resource for injured wild animals in Durham. There are agen- cies all over the Greater Toronto Area that direct calls to the TWC and Ms. Karvonen said because of this the TWC gets approxi- mately 200 calls a day. If you find an injured or sick animal the Ministry of Natural Resources rec- ommends calling the On- tario Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Network in Welland, or your local hu- mane society. But, a call to the Durham Humane Soci- ety confirms it would direct callers to the TWC. The TWC is a charitable organization, and they get 50 per cent of their fund- ing from grants from foun- dations. Other sources of revenue are donations from individuals and special events. Ms. Karvonen said of all the municipalities TWC service in Durham Region only Pickering pro- vides it with a grant. With more funding more animals could be saved. “Best thing people can do is to contact their local councillor and say, ‘I am a taxpayer and it is important to me that there is some response to wildlife’,” Ms. Karvonen said.

Upon her recent gradua- tion from the Peterborough boarding school, Erica Allingham was recognized as a scholar of distinction for graduating with an aver- age of more than 85 per cent and also received the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award. “Having the 85 per cent is going to help me because I know how to focus on my studies,” said Erica, who is attending Dalhousie Uni- versity in Nova Scotia for business commerce this fall. The school is awarding her a $1,500 scholarship. The Duke Award pro- gram is designed to involve youth in personal develop- ment activities, including community service, expedi- tions, hobbies and physical recreation. To reach the gold level, students participate in a hobby or skill, sports pro- gram for 18 months, and in a service project. “I guess the stuff that it taught me I can use later on in life as well,” Erica said. For the expedition com- ponent, she went camping at Algonquin Provincial Park. Along with cooking for herself, she also went canoeing, portaging, and set up tents. The sports por- tion was tennis, while her skill was choir and reading. Erica’s community involve- ment included purchasing items for people overseas.

Chantal was at the beach when she saw the two teens working away and decided to help pick up garbage. Pickering Lakefield College student gets recognition Wildlife centre says more funding would allow more animals to be saved Fast Facts What to do if you find an ani- mal in distress, according to the Toronto Wildlife Centre: Health and safety should always be your first concern - never do anything you are not comfortable with. If it is safe to do so, confine the animal to a cardboard box in a warm, dark quiet place. Do not offer the animal any- thing to eat or drink until you have spoken with a Toronto Wildlife Centre hotline staff member. If it is not safe to confine the animal, try to block off the area where the animal is so that it cannot escape while you are waiting for help. Call the TWC hotline at 416- 631-0662 and leave a clear, detailed message.www.durhamregion.comCATCH UP ONLINE AT ✦ Wildlife from page 1 • Health Canada Approved • Medically supervised • Proven safe & effective • Men & Women • Enjoy smooth silky skin • Unique cooling system for comfort M ediSPA THE FACIAL PLACE FREE CONSULTATIONS www.thefacialplace.com 905.831.9700 905.668.8128 Downtown Whitby Beside Valentinos Pickering Brock & 401 Photo Facial Rejuvenation, Peels, Microdermabrasion, Botox®, Acne & Rosacea Treatments, Laser Hair, Skin Tightening, Pixel™ Laser Resurfacing for Lines, Wrinkles, Large Pores & Scars NEW “Non Surgical” Face Lift, Free Consult call today!

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com No sympathy here for Toronto’s woes Message is that big city must go through same process as regions To all the whining, wailing and gnashing of teeth coming out of Toronto these days, Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson has a simple message: suck it up. Durham’s top municipal official, who also has plenty of local government experience in his previous role as president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, recently weighed in on the $575-million shortfall faced by the megacity. His comments come in the wake of a decision by council not to take advantage of taxing powers granted by the Province that would have raised more than $350 million. “Toronto is in the same position as the rest of us,” said Mr. Anderson who brushed aside complaints by Mayor David Miller and others about downloading difficulties and revenue short- falls. Toronto’s resistance at raising property taxes and its demands for funding relief from the Province were not well-received by Mr. Anderson who has been regional chairman of Durham for the past decade. He well knows the hard choices the region faces every year it crunches the numbers and how hard staff and councillors work to keep the books balanced. Mr. Anderson also understands the chronic underfunding Durham and other 905 regions have faced from the Province for many years now. Tax revenues from the Province -- and the feds -- have been nowhere near to balancing the growth faced here and calls for more money almost always fall on deaf ears. The message to Toronto is very simple. Either reduce the deficit by finding efficiencies and making service cuts or make the tough choice of significantly boosting property taxes. The other alternative, which Toronto will deal with again after the Oct. 10 provincial election, is to implement the new taxes under the City of Toronto Act. It would be unfair indeed, if the next premier of the province simply turned around and bailed out Toronto without making the big city go through the same tough process Durham and its eight municipalities have continuously gone through. It’s also important to note that a provincial bail-out of Toronto takes money out of any fund that would provide equitable funding to Durham and the other 905 regions. And that would truly tip the balance to Toronto and away from the 905. It must not happen. Book title gives all women something to think about A s girls break out the belly tops and short shorts for summer, a Toron- to author offers some thoughts on modesty they might want to consider. In a recent Toronto Star article, au- thor Wendy Shalit discusses her books ‘Girls Gone Mild’ and a ‘Return to Mod- esty’. According to the story, her writings are about girls reclaiming self-respect and getting away from promiscuity and the idea that being bad is good. Unfor- tunately, her beliefs have led to insults and even threats against her. Sad, but not all together surprising. Of all the columns I’ve ever writ- ten during my six years with Metroland Durham Region Media Group: the need to ban legal strikes by publicly paid em- ployees or various issues dealing with homosexuality - a contentious subject despite your stance, never have I re- ceived as many letters as I did for criti- cizing the length many girls wear their Catholic school kilts. The letters, from girls and boys alike, said I have no right to say such things; no teenager in their right mind would wear a kilt past their knees because they’d be made fun of; that some girls roll up their skirts because they like to and have no provocative intentions attached... the list continues. Some of them were well- written and supported, but others went as far as to swear and even give me a “cautious warning” about the next time I think of writing “stupid ness (that’s how they spelled it) like this”. Some people - most or all of them adults, agreed with my position and even thanked me for bringing the issue forth, but those letters were few in com- parison to the ones from teenagers de- fending their kilts and angered by my approach or opinion. Another girl said some do obey the rules for kilt length and shouldn’t have to suffer for someone else’s actions. That’s true, but unfortunately when women in music videos, bars, even schools, walk around exposed it creates a negative image for us all, which is why it’s so offensive. Those who criticize others for pro- moting girls to dress in a less provoca- tive manner and cool down their sexu- ality, perhaps need to work on their self-esteem. Dressing and performing sexual ac- tivities because they come across as cool is a terrible and misleading way to gain self-assurance, especially when the consequence of doing so can leave one feeling worthless. Regret can be hard to overcome. Good for Ms. Shalit for stepping up and taking on the challenge of trying to promote the traditional good girl – something one would think all parents and responsible adults would encour- age. Crystal Crimi’s column appears every third Sunday. E-mail ccrimi@durhamregion. com. Crystal Crimi staff writer A positive message for teen girls We need to do better at recycling To the editor: I find it interesting that a comment in a recent article in your newspaper suggested that the stores should be doing something about reducing the number of plastic bags distributed. That way, Durham Region wouldn’t have to deal with the problem. Great idea, but why is it that people who live in the Co- bourg area can recycle absolutely everything, including plastic bags. If they can do it, why can’t we? I think it’s time that Durham Region politicians contact Co- bourg politicians to see how they manage to do that. I work with a woman from that area who very graciously takes plastic bags I bring in from home to her place to recycle them for me. Unfortunately, she will soon be leaving our office and I will have to go back to putting them in the garbage where it will take 1,000 years before they disappear. I have purchased three of the reusable bags but there is still so much plastic to discard other than the bags. We need to do better.

Reactor down for seal work PICKERING — Just weeks after starting up from a planned main- tenance outage, a reactor at the Pickering nuclear station is off- line for an unplanned mainte- nance outage. Unit 5 was taken out of service on July 19 for inspections and maintenance on valve and pump seals on the primary heat trans- port system. The unit underwent a two- month outage starting in early April. Jacquie McInnes, manager of public affairs at the Pickering sta- tion, says the current outage is needed to replace faulty seals. “It’s a manufacturing defect. It has to be taken off-line to re- place the seals,” she says, adding the unit will be back in service “within the next week, the end of next week.” This outage isn’t related to an issue last week with a pressurized duct system running between the reactors and the vacuum build- ing. “We were planning this for the week before that (duct issue),” Ms. McInnes says.

Katie Zeppieri of Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute heads off to Ryerson University this fall with a TD Canada Trust 2007 Scholarship for Community Leader- ship, which will cover her tuition and living expenses. “I think now the doors are all open for me,” said Ms. Zeppieri, who recently turned 18. The scholarship covers tuition for an un- dergraduate degree program up to $10,000 per year for a maximum four years, and also provides her with a $5,000 cheque for each of the four years to help with living costs and supplies. Ms. Zeppieri said it includes the offer of a summer job at a TD branch for each of the four years as well. Since the award began 11 years ago, only two other people from Durham have re- ceived it: Amanda Goundry from Pickering and Amanda Dunn, Courtice. Over its span, 220 scholarships were provided. The award presented to Ms. Zeppieri is in recognition of her community leadership, particularly her involvement with Ander- son CVI’s Culture of Peace. Through it, she created and delivered diversity education lessons to more than 250 elementary stu- dents to teach them about peace promotion and acceptance. She developed a resource book and CD for the program, available to all Durham schools as well. Ms. Zeppieri was also a representative at the United Nations conference on violence against children, co-chairwoman of a re- gional conference on partner abuse, and a leader at the Students Together Against Racism camp. She applied for the TD scholarship in fall, after finding out about it through her school’s guidance department. “I went along with the fact my school thought I had a chance,” said Ms. Zeppieri, and added, she had nothing to lose by ap- plying. “But I never would have expected $60,000.” Her confidence was also boosted by other awards, such as the YMCA Peace Medallion, being named a Young Woman of Distinc- tion, the Whitby Youth Council Commu- nity Award, a $500 Whitby Race Relations Scholarship, and a Millennium Scholarship provincial award. She was also a finalist for the Youth in Motion Top 20 Under 20 in Canada. “It’s been an amazing year,” said Ms. Zep- pieri. After applying to the TD scholarship award, she was called into an interview at the top floor of the TD Tower in Toronto. She left it feeling confident and like she did everything she could. “When I got the call about a month later, I started crying on the phone and my parents took me out for a celebration dinner,” said Ms. Zeppieri. “I’m so excited,” she said, and added the scholarships and awards she’s received have provided her with even more oppor- tunities. The awards help people identify if you’ll be a good employee, she said. Without the TD scholarship, going to uni- versity would have been a lot harder. “Financially, obviously it gives you a head-start,” she said. “When you’re leaving university you don’t have student loans.” At university, she’ll be taking radio and television broadcasting. Ms. Zeppieri plans on commuting so she can stay at home with her family and continue her community involvement. Fast facts • The $60,000 scholarship was awarded to 20 students across Canada this year • This is the 11th year for the awards program Some of Ms. Zeppieri’s other awards: • YMCA Peace Medallion • Young Woman of Distinction • Whitby Youth Council Community Award • Whitby Race Relations $500 Scholarship • Millennium Scholarship provincial award • Finalist for the Youth in Motion Top 20 Under 20 in Canada.

Be- fore you breathe a sigh of relief that all of the details are tended to, think again. The most important — and often overlooked — detail of achieving wedding day perfection is the bride’s complexion. Dull, blotchy skin, unsightly blemishes and dark under-eye circles are enough to make any girl cry — let alone a bride! Since your wedding album will last forever, it’s equally important to look beautiful in person and have camera-ready skin. Follow these simple steps for a radiant, glowing complex- ion: Get Glowing: Every bride wants radiant skin but can’t always afford costly facial treatments. Achieve similar results with an at-home product like Vita-K Solution At Home Micro- dermabrasion Kit. It includes a Resurfacing Cream containing the powerful Vitamin K and C Complex that works together with the Derma Brush to gently resurface the skin. Replenish lost collagen while infusing essential vitamins and nutrients to moisturize, soothe and protect. The result is fi rmer, smoother, Look Picture-Perfect on Your Wedding Day younger-looking skin. Protection is Mandatory: The most important thing any bride can do for her skin is to apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen everyday, rain or shine. When prepar- ing for the big day, the last thing any bride needs is a sunburn, uneven skin tone, or dull, dehydrated skin caused by the dam- aging effects of the sun. Fight Back: If you’re prone to blotchy skin you can actu- ally treat the problem rather than cover it up. Reach for an effective remedy that will eliminate the appearance of blotchy uneven skin tone, acne marks and facial discoloration. Try Vita-K Solution for Blotchy Skin, which helps to fade them away, and with continued use, keeps them away. Its unique, rich cream formula contains Super Vitamin K, which pen- etrates deep and begins to work the instant you put it on. Plan Ahead for Radiant Eyes: If you’re one of the many women who suffer from serious under-eye dark circles and/ or chronic under-eye puffi ness, start a regimen at least one month before the big day. Look for an effective, yet affordable, product such as Vita-K Solution Dark Circles for Under Eyes and you will begin to see a reduction in the appearance of dark circles and puffi ness within two weeks of fi rst application. Optimum results usually occur in one month so make sure to time it before your wedding day. Take a Deep Breath: Brides are notorious for suffering from anxiety. Make sure you tend to all the details for the big day, but don’t forget to take care of yourself — or it will show through your skin. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day; cut back on fatty and salty foods; get as much sleep as possible; and engage in a stress-relieving activity at least once a day. If you take care of your body and your mind, your skin will benefi t! DURHAM — Ten automated external de- fibrillators (AEDs) are on the way to Dur- ham thanks to provincial and private-sector funds. The new devices were made possible with a $3-million grant from the Ministry of Health Promotion and $1 million from the Frank Cowan Foundation to the Heart and Stroke Restart a Heart, Restart Life campaign. The money helps pay for the purchase, in- stallation and associated training for (AEDs) under the program, to be placed in 50 com- munities across the province. “This historic investment through the Heart and Stroke Foundation will provide people in the Region of Durham with im- portant life-saving assistance,” said Wayne Arthurs, Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge MPP. He announced the additional devices July 26 with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of On- tario. “With access to this life-saving tool, public facilities in the Region will be safer places for all of us to gather to lead more active and healthy lives,” Mr. Arthurs added. With the help of corporate sponsors such as the Frank Cowan Foundation, one day AEDs will be as commonplace as fire extinguishers, said Rocco Rossi, chief executive officer of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. In Durham, the devices will be installed over the next few months in high traffic public sites, chosen with help from Durham Region Medical Services. In the first year, training and equipment will be provided; eight to 10 trained personnel will be available at each location to help those having cardiac arrest. Jim Watson, health promotion minister, said he was touched when they launched this program with the Heart and Stroke Founda- tion of Ontario because he has heard stories of people saved by their use. “Sadly, I’ve also heard stories of people who lost a loved one because there wasn’t an AED on site,” said Mr. Watson. Public and private funding brings more defibrillators to Durham Heart and Stroke facts • About 6,500 cardiac arrests occur each year in Ontario; • Survival odds for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are about five per cent; • Probability of survival declines seven to 10 per cent with each passing minute; • Rates can increase to 50 per cent or more when the AED is used in the first few minutes and CPR performed. The Present Reality Isn’t it odd that despite well-meaning intentions and bil- lions of dollars spent on developing new drugs, heart dis- ease continues to be the #1 killer in the western world? In fact, the WHO reported that by 2020 cardiovascular dis- ease will account for half of the world’s deaths — that’s 275 jumbo jets crashing everyday. If this happened in the aviation industry, don’t you think that all airplanes would be grounded? Fortunately, there are alternatives. Are your arteries covered with rust? Ninety-fi ve per cent of all heart disease is accompa- nied by atherosclerosis, the process of hardening of the arteries and fatty plaque build up. Just like rusted metal, the artery becomes stiff and brittle. As a result, blood pres- sure is likely to be elevated. Poor nutritional choices and lack of exercise are responsible for the hardening of the arteries and can also stimulate the body to produce ex- cess cholesterol. The solution...Help the body Heal Itself Fortunately, the body has a natural built-in mechanism to heal itself. This mechanism is collagen. The body makes new collagen to replace old collagen in order to repair damaged arteries. The main building blocks of collagen are the amino acids lysine, proline, glycine and Vitamin C. The renowned scientist Dr. Linus Pauling, who won the No- bel Prize twice, established that this damage to the arteries requires one to go beyond the daily dietary recommenda- tions of these nutrients in order for repair to happen. Other important nutrients for healing the heart and arteries are vitamins E, A, the B vitamins and selenium. As the arteries restore their fl exibility, blood pressure and ‘bad’ cholesterol are likely to come down. Don’t forget a healthy and vig- orous cardiovascular system requires Omega-3 essential fatty acids, a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 29, 2007 PAGE 17 A/Pdurhamregion.com Scenes for upcoming show filmed in Oshawa By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — No, a plane did not crash in Oshawa on Thursday. The twin-engine aircraft sitting in the middle of Stevenson Road was there as part of a shoot for a TV mini-series -- but the unusual sight did prompt a few concerned phone calls. “We’ve had a lot of calls from the media and some people out walking around were wondering what happened,” said Stephen Wilcox, manager of the Oshawa Municipal Airport. “Today is the one day it’s OK if you see a plane on the road.” A Toronto production crew spent the day in Oshawa Thursday, shooting scenes for an upcoming CBC mini-series called ‘The Border’. The show revolves around the elite Immi- gration and Customs Security (ICS) squad, which tackles Canada’s toughest border se- curity cases. The scenes filmed in Oshawa will be part of an episode where a twin-engine Piaggio P-180 airplane goes down in northern Que- bec, landing in the middle of a rural road. From there, the ICS team has to track down the passengers that fled from the plane, leading to plenty of action. Thursday’s filming -- which was visible to passersby on Taunton Road -- also featured simulated gunfire and lots of extras. “It’s a pretty exciting scene with lots hap- pening,” said Maureen O’Donnell, a spokes- woman for the show. “With the plane and all the extras, the producer said this could be one of the most expensive days ever in Canadian produc- tion.” The plane -- which came from the Os- hawa Municipal Airport -- was positioned on Stevenson Road north, between Taunton Road and General Sikorski Hall, and getting it there was slow going. Mr. Wilcox said it took three hours to move it less than a one-and-a-half kilometres. “We had to remove some of the fence around the airport and tow it up. We tow planes around the airport all the time, but you don’t usually see them on the streets,” he said. “That was the fun part.” The ensemble cast filming in Oshawa this week included Jonas Chernick from ‘Little Mosque on the Prairie’, Mark Wilson of ‘The Red Green Show’, and Gemini Award-win- ning actress Catherine Disher of ‘Snakes and Ladders’ and ‘Forever Knight’. CBC mini-series lands in Durham Smarthost offers discounts to tourists DURHAM — It’s intended to get tour- ists out in the community and already the Region’s smarthost program has 300 local residents online. “The smarthost program is a program to encourage local residents to get their visiting friends and relatives out into the community,” explained Andrea Monaghan, Durham’s manager of tourism. “Basically it’s a discount card.” Smarthost offers deals on area accom- modations, golf courses, spas and attrac- tions. The Region’s economic development and tourism department introduced the smarthost program this summer as part of Durham Tourism’s five-year strategic plan. It is intended to showcase Durham’s diverse tourism offerings. Residents can become smarthost card- holders by registering online at www.dur- hamtourism.ca/smarthost or by calling 1- 800-413-0017. Once the registration form has been pro- cessed, a smarthost card is mailed along with a listing of special offers and a copy of Durham’s 2007 Discovery Guide.

Open-wheel car places 33rd in competition DURHAM — A team of University of Ontario Institute of Technology open-wheel racers accelerated to a 33rd- place finish during its first en- gineering motorsports event. In the competition, re- cently held at the California Speedway, the school’s For- mula Society of Automotive Engineers team raced away with rookie-of-the-year hon- ours. “This is truly rewarding because our overall team is made up of more than 30 members, representing all of UOIT’s faculties, and together we contributed thousands of hours of work over the last two years,” said team member Cameron Mackey, whose role included chassis and aerody- namic work. “Everyone on the SAE team contributed to our outstanding results and we’re proud to have helped raise the profile of UOIT on an international stage.” Competing against uni- versities from across Canada, the U.S., China, Spain, Ven- ezuela, India, Japan, among others, the UOIT Durmach team finished 33rd out of 80 registered, and second of the nine Canadian entries. With its open-wheel 610cc Suzuki-powered race car, UOIT scored well enough to record the best finish by a first-year team during the 2007 Formula SAE West event. For the accomplish- ment, the team received Bill Mitchell Software for suspen- sion and vehicle dynamics design, along with the full line of Carroll Smith books which are used extensively by SAE teams. During the com- petition, UOIT members Mr. Mackey, Sean Hopman, Dan Jung, Matt Newcombe, and Shane Viccary competed in a skid pad test, acceleration and endurance runs, and an auto- cross event. The mechanical engineering students also had to make a presentation on how practical their entry was, the possible daily assem- bly of three or four similar models at a production facili- ty, and the marketing of those mass-produced vehicles for commercial sale. Students have been work- ing on the car over the past two years, with lead sponsor Durmach, a tool, die, jig and fixtures company. Other busi- nesses also helped the team defer costs surrounding the trip. Next up for the team is entry in the University of To- ronto shootout on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Mosport Interna- tional Speedway, near Bow- manville. Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The tidal wave is coming and we need to get pre- pared. That’s the message Garth Whyte hopes business and political lead- ers will take away from the cen- sus information on age and de- mographics released by Statistics Canada this week. Mr. Whyte, the executive vice- president of the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Busi- nesses, says the aging population will wreak havoc on the country’s business environment if nothing is done about it. “We can’t sit on our hands, we can’t ignore this issue,” he said. “This is like a tidal wave coming and something needs to be done.” Indeed, the numbers released by Statistics Canada from the 2006 Census reveal an aging population trend: the 65-and-over population made up a record 13.7 per cent of the total population of Canada while the proportion of the under- 15 population fell to 17.7 per cent -- the lowest level ever. Although Canada is still one of the youngest countries in the G8, experts agree that the aging trend is alarming to the labour force. Currently, for every one person that retires from the workforce, one person enters it. But if population projections prove true, Canada may soon have more people at the age where they can leave the labour force than at the age where they can begin working. “It’s a wake up call,” Mr. Whyte said. “Ten years ago, 25 per cent of our members said labour shortage was an issue. Today, over 50 per cent say its an issue. It’s our fast- est-growing problem.” For Ontario Power Generation -- one of Durham Region’s larg- est employers -- the problem is already looming. “We estimate that in the next 10 years -- actually the next eight years, starting a couple of years ago -- in that 10-year time frame, we could lose up to 50 per cent of our workforce,” said Jacquie Mc- Innes, spokeswoman for OPG. “Fortunately, we have been able to put in place a number of steps to make sure we are prepared to address that,” she said. Ms. McInnes points to the company’s investments in the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and the University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering, as well as the Women in Nuclear program, as steps to- wards targeting a new generation of employees. “As a result, over the last few years, we have hired many new graduates from engineering pro- grams. I think, on average, about 100 per year,” she said. “Once they get here there is a lot of training and integration into the workforce to allow for us to transi- tion from the current generation to the future generation.” Diana Hills-Milligan, the presi- dent of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, says all local business- es should be thinking about that transition. “Companies are aware of this change coming and should be planning for it. They need to change company dynamics and become more flexible so that older people remain in the workplace longer,” she said. “They definitely should be look- ing at employee-succession plan- ning, training and retention pro- grams. If companies sit back and wait then they could run into some serious problems.” The Statistics Canada report shows that between 2001 and 2006, the fastest-growing age group con- sisted of individuals aged 55 to 64 -- those nearing retirement. The census counted nearly 3.7 million people in this age group, an in- crease of 28.1 per cent from 2001. In Durham Region, the trend is just as strong. The median age of a Durham resident increased from 35.9 in 2001 to 37.7 in 2006. The number of residents aged 55 to 64 increased by 16,130 individuals. At the same time, the number of residents aged 25 to 44 actually decreased by 310 people. As the population ages, Ms. Hills-Milligan says economic growth may slow down and add pressure on government resources that cover rising heath care costs and elderly care. “There will be less government income from taxpayers in the work force and it could mean compa- nies may demand more work hours from their younger em- ployees causing more stress and less family-time,” she said. “It will cause a major change to our social structure.” Mr. Whyte says the problem is only going to get worse as the baby boomers reach retirement age and he is encouraging the federal gov- ernment to start thinking about changing immigration policy and employment insurance policy to deal with the labour shortage issue. “We all know this is happening,” he said. “But what are we doing about it?” ‘A wake up call’ Durham’s Aging Population (% of population) Do you have a new business opening in Durham Region?

Ajax-Pickering peewees finish first in Ontario varsity league division, earn playoff bye DURHAM — The Ajax- Pickering Dolphins peewees ended their regular season on a high note, capturing first place with a convincing 47-8 victory over the Halton Invictas last weekend. Finishing first in the Ontario Varsity Football League’s peewee division meant a bye for the Dol- phins through the opening round of the playoffs. The peewee Dolphins finished with a regular-season record of 7-1. The ’phins led 14-0 after the first quarter on majors by the backfield duo of D’Shane Chung and Keldyn Ahlstedt. Chung added a second touch- down in the second quarter, along with fullback Taylor Wilen- ski, to send the Dolphins into the half ahead 27-0. In the second half, pivot Nik Shah would run one in on the quarterback sneak as he com- pleted a textbook 12-play drive for the major. In the fourth quarter, the Dol- phins were deep in the roster and trying several new plays leading to the last major by slotback AJ Thomas. Adeem Bembridge and Brian Derksen led the Dolphins’ de- fence with several sacks. The Ajax-Pickering defence kept Halton on its toes until a late bootleg by the Invictas’ quar- terback allowed him to run for a 65-yard touchdown late in the quarter ending the game at 47-8. Dolphins’ head coach Jeff Ahl- stedt and the coaching staff are now focused on prepping the team for the new season, which will start at home Friday, Aug. 3, at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering. “We know it’s a new game now as one loss and the season is over, so getting the bye week and time to rest injuries and prepare for the playoffs is crucial,” says Ahlstedt. “We know we have a strong offence and the best defence in the league, but preparation and attitude is what creates a winning team. We’ll be there and ready, regardless of whom we play.” Dolphins ramble past Halton Invictas in football finale AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Recording the out PICKERING — Canadian Progress Club’s Jordan Livings tags Alysha Butler of the Caribbean Colour Tanning Salon squad for the out at third base.

A-P Rock switch sticks for brooms Ajax-Pickering sweeps Mohawk out of senior ‘B’ semifinal series By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Rock brought out the brooms Thursday night. With a series sweep on the line against the Mohawk Stars, the Rock came through in dramatic fashion. After allowing the Stars to tie the game with a mere three sec- onds left in the third period, the Rock was unfazed at having the game proceed to an extra frame. Scoring the only goal in over- time, the Rock posted a 10-9 vic- tory over the Stars at the Gaylord Powless Memorial Arena near Brantford. The win silenced the Stars in three straight games in the best-of-five OLA senior ‘B’ la- crosse semifinal series. And, for the second time in as many years, the Rock are headed to the league championship se- ries. The game-winning goal came appropriately off the stick of Wayne Burke, who’s been the Rock’s top sniper throughout the post-sea- son. Burke finished off a pass- ing play with running mate Mike Daley at the two-minute mark of the 10-minute extra frame. For Burke, it was his 10th goal of the playoffs. All told, Burke is tied with two others in league playoff scoring with 22 points thus far. Starting goaltender Mike Miron barred the door the rest of the way, including making a game-saving recovery with a Mohawk player looking at a wide-open net. Rock coach Paul St. John says he’s still awed by how the burly ball stopper whose nickname is ‘Tiny’ somehow got to a ball that appeared virtually unstoppable, thus preserving the one-goal OT lead for the Rock. “It was definitely a defining mo- ment of how great a goaltender he is,” says St. John. “He allowed one goal in the last 30 minutes of play. It was a really proud moment for me as a coach and a proud mo- ment for him as a goaltender.” St. John notes the series-clos- ing contest was a signpost of how confident the Rock have become in their ability to battle back from adversity. First, the Rock scored five consecutive third-period goals to rebound from an 8-4 second- period deficit. And, after Mohawk netted its last-second marker, they had to dig down into their reserves once more to win it in overtime. “When they tied the game with 3.3 seconds left, our guys hung their heads, but only for a mo- ment. Then it was, ‘we’ll just beat them in overtime’.” PARALEGAL DIPLOMA DIAMOND INSTITUTE of Business and Computer Technology (905) 427-1922 diamondinstitute.ca Study in a small class environment in AJAX Student assistance/funding may be available for qualifi ed students LEARN • Legal Research • Small Claims • Investigations • Highway Traffi c Act • Civil Procedures • Insurance Claims • Dispute Resolution and much more!
