board of trade
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — About six weeks ago, Dur-
ham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles was a
victim of crime.
Speaking to the Ajax-Pickering Board of
Trade Thursday morning, the chief revealed
his Whitby home was broken into by a 14-
year-old young offender.
“He broke into seven homes. Mine was
the only one where no one was home,”
Chief Ewles stated. “It’s fortunate no one
was home as either he or I would have had
to have had something surgically removed.”
The youth, he added, had been “caught
up in a video game” and was dressed like
a knight templar, complete with sword-like
weapons.
Chief Ewles spoke about the change in
focus for Durham police, toward crime pre-
vention rather than dealing with the after-
math.
“Policing is traditionally reactionary. We
run out, deal with an issue and rush back
to file a report. But, what have we accom-
plished,” the chief asked. “We deal with the
symptoms. How do we combat crime when
we’re simply counting statistics?”
Instead, Durham police will try to “get to
the root cause of crime,” Chief Ewles said.
“Our main duty is to prevent crime. We have
to be more efficient and effective in every-
thing we do.”
The police do analysis of crime statistics
to get to the root cause of a crime, he said.
An example was in downtown Whitby,
where garbage pickup was on Fridays and

A SPECIAL MOMENT FOR THE KIDS IN PICKERING

Even Durham’s top cop can be a victim of crime
✦ See These, Page 2
Children from the Edukids Child Care Centre were out for their morning walk near Pickering
City Hall when they came across the flag-raising ceremony for the Special Olympics. Hearing
the music, the kids stopped and clapped along to the tune. For more on the ceremony, see
page 7 of today’s paper.

large numbers of people would leave
bars on Thursday nights, leading to
vandalism and trash strewn all over the
downtown.
The solution, he said, was to move
the garbage pickup to Tuesday.
In Ajax and Pickering, there were
problems with youths in parks at night,
so the police worked with local offi-
cials.
“These are our parks, not the people
who want to drink beer and smoke
drugs,” Chief Ewles said. “We’ve very
pleased with the results we’ve seen.”
Durham police have four main pri-
orities -- dealing with youth, roadway
safety, the exploitation of persons and
property crimes.
“We made a commitment that Dur-
ham Region would be the safest place
to live, work and play. If we have a
safe community, people will want to
choose to live, work and play right here
in Durham Region,” Chief Ewles said.
“It will take us time and I’ll be candid,
we are going to make mistakes.
“Our challenge is to learn from our
mistakes, to fail forward. We look for
your help,” he added.
During question period, Louise Farr
Chambers of UOIT said, “There was an
education component to everything
you said.”
She noted the university and Dur-
ham College offer programs specifi-
cally to law enforcement, such as a
criminal justice degree and a diploma
in police foundations. Another feature
of the schools is a course in forensic
investigations.
The chief noted many police officers
have degrees and the force has taken
advantage of educational opportuni-
ties offered at the school.

Activists say MPPs
not helping enough
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson wasn’t
too upset Friends of the Ajax Pickering Hospital
co-chairman Bill Parish didn’t allow him to speak
at last Saturday’s mental health rally.
“That’s fine because their heart’s in the right
place,” he said, adding without the work of con-
cerned groups, he probably wouldn’t have gotten
the attention he has from Minister of Health and
Long-term Care George Smitherman.
A number of people spoke at the event, con-
testing the transfer of 20 mental health beds from
the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital
to Centenary in Scarborough, including mayors
Dave Ryan and Steve Parish, Ontario Public Ser-
vice Employees Union representatives, and Ajax-
Pickering MP Mark Holland.
Mr. Dickson’s name wasn’t on the speaker’s list
since he had to first attend a funeral and wasn’t
sure he’d be back in time. Master of ceremonies
Wendy Holliday did ask him to speak, but Bill Par-
ish said no.
Mr. Parish said he heard somebody say. ‘Don’t
let him speak’, so he didn’t.
“We didn’t see any reason to include him,” he
said. “In our view he had done little or nothing to
get a meeting with Smitherman.”
Mr. Parish said it took a number of phone calls
to Mr. Dickson’s office before hearing anything
back regarding a meeting with Mr. Smitherman,
and he never did meet with the Friends. But, Mr.
Dickson said the Friends only contacted him in
order to get Mr. Smitherman’s e-mail address.
Mr. Dickson said he’s raised his petition against
the transfer each day in the legislature, and even
on the times he’s left for other committee meet-
ings, he’s had a colleague speak on it. He’s had
eight meetings with Mr. Smitherman but said
although he’s sensitive toward the issue, ministers
are often reluctant to give money, in this case to
keep the beds in Ajax, since financial requests
come often and from many.
“At this point in time I don’t really know what’s
going on in the back of the minister’s mind,” he
said.
As for Mr. Parish’s comments that Mr. Dickson
hasn’t helped, the latter said, “everybody knows
that probably no one has worked harder on this
particular challenge with the hospital and any-
thing to do with the hospital over the past 40 years
than me.” Mr. Parish was equally unimpressed by
Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Wayne Arthurs.
“They should be ashamed of themselves for not
standing up for their community in their hour of
need,” he said.
But, Mr. Arthurs - who emphasized mental
health care is an important priority - said he’s also
met with Mr. Smitherman, where the minister
made it clear it’s not his role to make decisions on
services at the local level.
“That’s why we have LHINs and hospital boards
in place,” he said.
Mr. Arthurs believes the LHINs have to con-
tinue working with hospitals and communities
in order to continue to improve hospital services,
but as for the mental health move he said, “I think
they had to come to that conclusion,” adding he
was encouraged to see mental health emergency
hours extended to 16 hours each day. He also feels
ensuring the hospital’s expansion is a top prior-
ity.

Solar panels planned
for new building
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The Town is investing a
lot of green to go green.
An integrated solar design is
being added to the new operations
centre, which was approved in the
2008 budget.
Including solar panels is going
to add $1.4 million to the build-
ing’s $18-million price tag, but the
money will be recovered over the
next 20 years in reduced energy
and operating costs.
Money for the solar array will
be taken out of the federal gas tax
reserve fund.
Dave Meredith, the operations
and environmental services direc-
tor, told council’s general govern-
ment committee that adding solar
power is a chance to show Ajax is
leading the way.
“From a staff perspective, it’s a
real opportunity for the munici-
pality that municipalities don’t
often get,” Mr. Meredith stated on
Thursday.
The operations centre will be
built immediately south of the
new fire hall and training centre, at
the corner of Salem and Rossland
roads.
The two buildings will be LEED
(Leaders in Energy and Environ-
mental Design) certified, which
involves a series of environmental
measures, such as a green roof,
geothermal heating and cooling,
rainwater collection and using
solar power.
Having the buildings together
will form a “campus” to showcase
to other municipalities, Mr. Mer-
edith stated.
About 6,000 square feet of solar
panels will be installed and that
will generate about 50 kilowatts
of power, which is enough to sup-
ply enough hot water for a typical
work day.
One feature is a solar panel
shaped like a sail, keeping with
the nautical theme for Ajax.
Wards 3 and 4 Regional Coun-
cillor Colleen Jordan said the solar
design is “so exciting.”
Ward 3 local Councillor Joanne
Dies said the sail “to me is a func-
tional piece of art.”
Finance director Rob Ford said
no other projects are being pushed
aside to pay for the solar array.
Mayor Steve Parish questioned
if the Town has approached Ve-
ridian Corporation about financial
aid to help with the building.
“The Veridian board has a poli-
cy of dedicating a certain amount
of its budget to green generation
projects. Veridian has a commit-
ment to get involved in its share-
holder municipalities. There are
options here,” noted Mayor Parish,
a member of the Veridian board.
Chief Administrative Officer
Brian Skinner said there have been
discussions, but nothing beyond
that.
Construction on the new 55,000-
sq.-ft. building will begin later this
year and be completed in 2009.

DURHAM — Remember safety
while boating this summer.
The Durham Region Health
Department is celebrating North
American Safe Boating Awareness
Week from May 17 to 23 by helping
residents understand the impor-
tance of safe boating practices.
During the week of May 12,
health department staff are visit-
ing local marinas to discuss con-
cerns with marina operators and
to provide safe boating resources
to boaters. A community informa-
tion display is on May 12 from 9
a.m. to noon at the Regional Mu-
nicipality of Durham Headquar-
ters, 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby.
According to the Canadian Red
Cross, recreational boating is the
number one activity leading to
drowning. Primary safety concerns
include not wearing a personal flo-
tation device (PFD), and combin-
ing boating and alcohol use. Other
risk factors for drowning incidents
include cold water, current, strong
winds and standing in a boat.
For further information on boat-
ing safety or to obtain resources,

Ajax, Pickering can’t lose
mental health beds
To the editor:
Durham Region should not tolerate the
reduction of acute care mental health
beds to Scarborough.
My understanding is that currently
Durham has about 54 acute care mental
health beds while Scarborough has about
90.
If 20 of Durham’s acute care mental
health beds are transferred to Scarbor-
ough that would leave 34 acute care men-
tal health beds for Durham Region and
Scarborough will have 110.
My numbers may not be right on but
this week I spoke with a member of
Durham’s finest and when they need an
acute care mental health bed it is cur-
rently a challenge. With the population
growth in the 905 who is caring for Dur-
ham Region’s acute care mental health
beds? This is a service Durham Region
cannot lose.

This is the first year I’ll be on the

the 30-hour labour that proceeded my
baby’s arrival.
On Nov. 11, 3:41 p.m., 2007, I was
finally able to touch the tiny feet that
started off as a small and persistent
twitch in my lower belly and evolved
into hard, hyper kicks to my side.
Born was my baby boy Benjamin,
eight-pounds, 14.5 ounces, with a head
of dark hair.
I thought I would cry when I saw him,
but I didn’t. Maybe it was the drugs,
exhaustion, or relief that he was OK, but
most likely it was probably the disbelief.
There he was, my son. He was just in
my belly and then he was next to me in
the hospital room.
Along with the instant love, I felt shy
and terrified. How is it that he spent his
whole life growing inside me and was
still a stranger? I was afraid to touch
him and even more afraid to look away
from him.
My son, with my husband’s hairline,
toes and fingers, and my nose and eyes.
While I was pregnant I had convinced
myself I’d be able to sleep in the hospi-
tal - boy was I wrong. Like many people,
as I have since found out, nursing did
not come naturally to him or to me.
Benjamin didn’t know how to suck and,
at first, couldn’t even take a bottle. We
spent the next few days finger-feed-
ing him, pumping milk, and meeting
with nurses and lactation consultants.
At one point, someone referred to our
private hospital room as Grand Cen-
tral Station. I couldn’t help but laugh
to myself when a nurse told me to get
some sleep.
I’d like to say things got easier at
home, but the breakneck pace contin-
ued for the next couple of months. They
were loaded with trips to the doctor’s,
breast-feeding clinic appointments (for
which I am eternally grateful), attempts
at sleep-training, and an inconceivable
amount of sleepless days and nights.
Being a mother has been the most
challenging experience of my life, but it
has also been the most rewarding.
To hold my baby against my chest;
to calm him down by singing a song;
to watch him fall asleep - his eyelids
getting heavier with each of my kisses;
to feel his soft tiny fingers rubbing my
arm as I change his bum; to catch him
lovingly staring up at me; to comfort
his cries with a hug; to be greeted by
him with that big gummy smile, sunny
enough to melt away the frustrations or
another sleepless night; and to watch
those tiny feet kicking and kicking like
they did in my belly, have provided me
with more joy than I could ever imag-
ine.
Now that I am a mother, I couldn’t
imagine what life would be like if I
wasn’t.

Mother’s Day holds new
meaning this year
Hwy. 407 needed sooner rather than later
2 012? 2013? 2015?
A few dates, some of them extremely
optimistic, have been made public
regarding the completion of the 50-kilo-
metre extension of Hwy. 407 from Brock
Road in Pickering, through Ajax and the
rest of south Durham to Hwy. 35/115.
Let’s just say, Ajax and Pickering resi-
dents want this thing done as soon as
possible for a number of reasons. First,
highways are not meant to end. When
they do, think of Hwy. 404 in York or our
own Hwy. 407, it creates a traffic glut
at the termination point. As well, given
the rush-hour congestion on our roads,
the extension is needed to help Ajax,
Pickering and other Durham residents get
to where they’re going more quickly. This
is especially true for the poor souls who
make long commutes to Mississauga, for
example.
It has often been noted that compared
to the western GTA, Durham is extremely
under-serviced in terms of highways. A
finished extension, including two, 10-
kilometre links to Hwy. 401, will aid the
countless thousands in our communities
who spend a lot of time on the road.
The question is when? Durham MPP
John O’Toole recently suggested it will
be finished in 2015. The provincial and
federal governments a year ago com-
mitted to a 2013 completion date. Last
November, federal finance minister and
Whitby MP Jim Flaherty told those at an
Oshawa Chamber of Commerce event
the planned finish date is 2012. Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson has made
no secret of the fact he feels the highway
extension is vital to continued economic
growth in Durham. If you build the high-
ways and connections, business will
come. Just look at the new Salem Road/
Hwy. 401 intersection and see what it has
done for business in that area.
Building that much highway in five
years is a monumental task. Apart from
the physical building of the roads, there
are underpasses and overpasses to be
constructed. But, before this, there will
be negotiations with property owners to
acquire the necessary lands.
West Durham residents believe there
should be a heightened sense of urgency
to getting this project on the road.
So, while the upper levels of govern-
ment obfuscate the completion time,
Durham commuters, unfortunately, are
going to have to wait until politicians
get their collective acts together -- not to
mention getting their stories straight.
Let’s hope that occurs sooner rather
than later, so the rubber can finally hit the
road.

Campbell claims
wrongful dismissal
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA — Ousted Oshawa
Generals’ president Trish Camp-
bell has sued the club and its
ownership for wrongful dismissal,
claiming clashes over contracts
and questionable financial wran-
gling created a dysfunctional cor-
porate climate at the General Mo-
tors Centre.
Ms. Campbell, who was fired
by the club in January midway
through a five-year contract, is
seeking $1 million in damages
from the team and owners John
Davies and Rocco Tullio.
In an interview, Mr. Davies ve-
hemently denied allegations in the
suit. He characterized the legal ac-
tion as an attempt by a disgruntled
former employee to inflict damage
on the organization.
“(Ms. Campbell) was absolutely
dismissed with cause,” Mr. Davies
said.
The firing came about as a result
of a disagreement over an agent
hired to sell advertising at the
GM Centre, Mr. Davies said. Ms.
Campbell claims the agent failed
to meet sales targets and should
have been let go; Mr. Davies said
he overruled the president’s call
for a review of the advertising con-
tract because he was pleased with
the agent’s results.
“When I bought the team (ad-
vertising) revenues were $166,000,”
Mr. Davies said. “They’ll exceed
$1.1 million this year.”
In a statement of claim filed
last month in Superior Court in
Whitby, Ms. Campbell claims she
was fired despite performing du-
ties outlined in her contract.
She says in the claim that Mr.
Davies and Mr. Tullio under-
mined her authority and created
a “poisoned” work environment
in which she was harassed and
disrespected.
Mr. Tullio declined to comment
for this story.
The lawsuit claims Ms. Camp-
bell, the first female president of
a club in Ontario Hockey League
history, was fired without cause,
even though she excelled at her
job, which paid $150,000 a year in
addition to benefits and perfor-
mance bonuses.
“In the year 2006-07 (Ms. Camp-
bell) succeeded in driving sales
revenues to new levels, including
increasing the season ticket base
from approximately 800 fans to
over 2,000 fans,” the claim asserts.
“. . . attendance has risen steadily
resulting in many sold-out team
home dates.”
The statement of claim contains
allegations that have not been
proven in court. No statements of
defence from the defendants were
on file at the Whitby courthouse
Wednesday.
Among the allegations in the
claim:
• Ms. Campbell alleges that in
May 2007 Mr. Davies requested
funds to reach a settlement with
his ex-wife. But when a company
filed a construction lien on the
GM Centre, seeking more than $1
million owed for work on the new
arena, the Gens had to dip into
season ticket revenues to pay the
bill, the claim says.
Although he insisted he hadn’t
been served with the state-
ment of claim Mr. Davies called
the suit “a minor annoyance” and
said he looks forward to defending
against it.
Mr. Davies confirmed it was he
who hired Ms. Campbell.
Ms. Campbell, hired as presi-
dent and chief operating officer
of the Generals in 2004, was fired
in mid-January. At the time Mr.
Tullio refused to comment on the
move, but said he and Mr. Davies
concurred on the firing.

Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13
BY DANIELLE HARDER
There are many good reasons to try to
eat together as a family once a day. It’s a
chance to slow down, connect and share
everyone’s day.
Increasingly, research is also showing
family meals are better for children’s
physical, emotional and mental health.
According to a study published last
month, families who eat together may have
healthier kids in the long term.
The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour-
nal of the American Dietetic Association,
suggest children who connect with their
parents at mealtimes are more likely to
have a healthier diet as young adults.
The study followed 1,700 teenagers for
fi ve years and found those who ate the most
meals with their families tended to eat bet-
ter as they got older, including eating more
fruits and vegetables.
This new research bolsters previous
studies that found children who share a
meal with family several times a week are
less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use
drugs or become sexually active.
They also tend to do better academically
and have better mental health.
Unfortunately, while science suggests
families make more attempts to eat togeth-
er, economic forces are working against
them. According to Statistics Canada,
workers spend an average of 45 minutes
less per day with family members in 2005
than they did 20 years earlier.
The length of the workday has also ex-
panded, cutting into what was traditionally
the family dinnertime. On average, Cana-
dians now work about 30 minutes longer
each day than they did a generation ago.
Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply
the fast-paced and full lives of many fami-
lies today. Children are often involved in
more extra-curricular activities and have
more homework to get through each night,
than their parents did as kids.
So, what to do?
Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook-
ing: double a meal one night and freeze
half for later or set aside one afternoon
on the weekend to cook several meals that
can be tucked away in the freezer for busy
nights.
Next, save yourself time by purchasing
pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but
you’re more likely to use them and less
likely to be pitching out brown broccoli
next week. Even onions – the most dreaded
of kitchen chores – are available pre-
chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as
bean burritos, can be whipped up in under
half an hour.

What does it mean to be a leader? In
today’s world we recognize that a real
leader is a person of action and compas-
sion, vision and insight, initiative and
responsibility.
At Trinity College School, the com-
munity recently undertook a long-term
planning exercise to understand how
they can best prepare students to be
leaders – leaders in their local and global
communities, leaders within the school
and, most importantly, leaders within
their own lives.
As a result of this community-wide

School has adopted a new mission

Pickering could be
next in line for cash
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX — A bad train accident that injured
a 72-year-old woman last year prompted im-
provements to the railway crossing on Fairall
Street in Ajax.
As an end to Rail Safety Week, Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty announced at the Ajax
Town hall Friday the crossing will get lights,
bells and a gate through a $145,040 contri-
bution to the Ajax project.
The federal government is providing
$3,151,600 for 23 projects to improve 21 rail-
way crossings throughout Ontario.
“Moving people and goods by rail is es-
sential for a strong and growing economy,
but we will not compromise safety in our
communities,” Mr. Flaherty said.
“The investments we are making today
will help alert our friends and neighbours
to oncoming trains so we can avoid future
tragedies.”
Railway crossings that need improvement
are chosen through the Grade Crossing Im-
provement Program based on a number of
factors such as accident history and traffic
volume. Transport Canada works with rail-
way companies and communities to identify
the needs.
Pickering City Councillor Jennifer
O’Connell has been asking the federal
government for attention to rail safety in
Pickering recently, and even requested a
rail safety audit in Pickering in January. But,
Pickering was not one of the municipalities
included in the improvement areas. Mr. Fla-
herty said there’s always hope for Pickering
next year.
“They’re prioritized based on a number of
factors and they indicated that this crossing
in Ajax is the one that should have the top
priority and that’s why we’re going ahead
with this one now,” he said.
Facts and tips
* Around 50 per cent of vehicle-train
collisions occur at crossings with active
warning devices like gates, bells and
lights.
* Trains are three feet wider than the
tracks on both sides.
* When at a multiple-track crossing
waiting for a train to pass, look out for
a second train on the other tracks, ap-
proaching from either direction.
* Trains cannot stop quickly. It takes the
average freight train travelling at 100
kilometres per hour about 1.1 kilometres
to stop. It takes a passenger train travel-
ling at 120 kilometres per hour around 1.6
kilometres to stop.
* Never drive around lowered gates.
* Turn off or turn down distracting fans,
heaters and radios until the crossing is
completely cleared. Opening the window
helps.

Ontario Arts
Council funds
art as learning tool
By Josie Newman
jnewman@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Wendy Nelson al-
ways wanted to be a nurse, but
she found it difficult to finish high
school in a regular setting.
“That’s when I heard about the
artists in residence program at
this school. I find it easier to ac-
complish things here.
“They don’t give you as much
slack and they help you out more,”
said Wendy, referring to the new
artists in residence program at
Durham Alternative Secondary
School.
She held up a wooden sculp-
ture of her baby daughter’s face
that she’d just made in an art class
led by teacher Dorsey James. The
sculpture workshop is actually
part of an English class.
“We do it to help teach symbol-
ism to the students. We suggested
they do a sculpture of something
or someone meaningful to them,”
explained English teacher Diane
Baker.
The concept of marrying art
from several genres with regu-
lar subjects like English or Math
has become a smash hit with stu-
dents who struggle in various as-
pects of the regular high school
stream. Three-hundred students,
including Wendy, will graduate
this June, the first class in the his-
tory of the 10-year-old alternative
school to experience the artists in
residence program, says co-ordi-
nator Bonnie Peebles.
The Durham District School
Board is one of only three boards
in the province to be part of the
pilot program, funded by the On-
tario Arts Council. Facilitators
from the DDSB are waiting to
hear whether they’ll receive fund-
ing from the OAC for the coming
school year.
This year’s costs were $55,000,
which included hiring four artists
-- a musician, a writer, an actor/
director, and an artist/sculptor -
- to work one day a week using
art as a tool to help students learn
subjects they previously had dif-
ficulty with.
Ruth Walker, a poet, playwright,
and editor from Whitby, says she
was asked to be one of the four
artists after teaching a much
shorter writing program at the
school last year.
“One reason why I like being
here is because in Grade 11 I’d
write stories and plays. I had to
quit school after Grade 11 and
start working. I’ve since returned
to university for a degree in Eng-
lish Literature. I feel this is a good
opportunity to teach and guide
these kids. You know you’ve got-
ten through when one of them
comes up to you and wants you to
read their poem,” said Ms. Walker,
whose plays have been performed
at the Whitby Courthouse Theatre
and by the StoneCircle theatre
group.
The four artists start new proj-
ects every six weeks with their
students. One recent project
called for Ms. Walker to help data
management students better
understand the subject through
writing.
“I thought, when did people
start to create data manage-
ment? I love history so I thought
of researching the history of hi-
eroglyphics and then thought of
taking the children to the Royal
Ontario Museum. We all went on
a bus with bagged lunches, and it
was wonderful. Some of them had
never been to the ROM, and one
boy said he hadn’t had anyone
pack his lunch since he was 10.
They made a larger connection
with their other classes through
that visit, too,” recalled Ms. Walk-
er.
Joanne Norman, who teaches
drama and theatre arts, said, ”I
like it because the teachers are
pretty easy-going. It’s a special
school because they’re at-risk
kids. If you give them a little
self-confidence, they’ll try things
they’ve never tried.”
Dorsey James, a well-known
Pickering sculptor, and Jim Park-
er, a local singer/songwriter who
has also worked as Polkaroo in
the Polka Dot Door and for the
show Mister Dress-Up, are the
other two artists in residence.
Artists help students succeed

Jim Parker is one of four artists who volunteer at the Durham Alternative
Secondary School every Wednesday.
(NC)-Toddlers, you may have noticed, are interested in everything.
They are magnets for learning and new adventures, and this is why
educational experts suggest making the most of these impressionable
years, especially in the months just prior to kindergarten.
“Laying the groundwork for future achievement cannot begin too
early,” says Dr. Donna McGhie-Richmond, educational specialist with
Kumon Math and Reading Centres. “Studies show that for learning skills
such as reading, there is a critical period from ages four to seven.”
Studies also show that children who have been read to several times
a day at two and three years old, do substantially better in kindergarten
than those whose parents do not read to them as often. Thus, the early
years do present a critical window of opportunity to build and strengthen
numeracy and literacy skills.
Before kindergarten begins, it’s a good idea to fi nd out the expec-
tations of your school system. Many schools require children to know
a lot more than their
parents did by the
fi rst day. In addition
to monitoring gen-
eral knowledge, plus
physical, social, and
language develop-
ment, try to deter-
mine your child’s ‘ap-
proach’ to learning,
such as the level of
focus and persis-
tence with a given
task. Dr. McGhie-
Richmond offers this
checklist of a few ba-
sics:
• Follows simple di-
rections.
• Enjoys having
books read.
• Can go to the wash-
room independently.
• Plays nicely with
other children.
• Is able to focus on a task.
• Handles the ‘tools of learning’ such as pencils, crayons, scissors, etc.
When encouraging learning at home, make it fun. Dr. McGhie-Rich-
mond suggests playing games of I-Spy to associate sounds and letters.
“For better pencil control, be sure to draw, colour pictures, and paint.
Encourage number recognition by counting objects, like red cars in the
street. Give your child dress-up clothes to encourage role-play games
and when you bake sweet treats together, be sure to talk about the
weights and measures.”

Two local
hockey
players set
to join UOIT
Ridgebacks
DURHAM — Two local hockey
players will stay close to home to
begin their collegiate careers.
The University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology (UOIT) Ridge-
backs men’s hockey team will add
Pickering forward Jeremy Whelan
to the second-year squad’s roster for
the 2008-09 season.
Meanwhile, the UOIT Ridgebacks
women’s team welcomes Ajax de-
fenceman Amy Johnson to the squad
for the upcoming campaign.
For Whelan, he joins the Ridge-
backs with a wealth of Ontario Hock-
ey League and OHA tier II junior
hockey experi-
ence under his
skates.
Whelan
played for the
OHL’s Missis-
sauga IceDogs
from 2004-
2006, making
his OHL debut
during the 2004
post-season.
He also ap-
peared in the
Barrie Colts
lineup during
the 2005-06
season. He was
selected in the
fourth round of
the OHL prior-
ity draft by Mis-
sissauga.
In terms of
tier II junior ex-
perience, Whelan split time last year
with the Hamilton Red Wings and
the Huntsville Otters in the OHA
Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League (OPJHL). The 6-foot, 185-
pound left winger averaged more
than a point per game with the
two teams, recording 40 points in
31 games and notching 19 goals in
total. He also made a big impact on
special teams as he totaled 15 power
play points and scored two short-
handed goals.
Whelan also logged ice time with
the Georgetown Raiders in 2006-07
and also played for his hometown
Pickering Panthers in 2003-04.

Muylaert says Whelan is a player

PICKERING — A Pickering gym-

Spring has arrived marking
the beginning of our great escape
outdoors. For many the focus has
turned to creating that perfect
outdoor oasis and for Northland
Paving another paving season has
begun.
The appearance of your
driveway, walkway or backyard
creates an impression about your
home and way of life. Plan your
project carefully, with the right paving
contractor, and your asphalt driveway
or interlocking stone walkway will
provide years of lasting service and
an excellent return on investment.
Spring is the busiest
estimating season for paving
contractors and consumers are
faced with an onslaught of flyers,
advertisements and doorknockers
from many home improvement and
paving companies. While many
are legitimate businesses, not all
adhere to the same set of ethics and
standards.
“After being in business for
20 years we have heard many stories
from local residents who have been
taken advantage of or given inferior
paving. Unfortunately, if consumers
do not closely monitor their driveway
design and construction it’s possible
for some contractors
to cut corners at the
expense of quality. A
company’s reputation
is vital to a long
lasting installation,”
says Bruce Yazdani,
owner of Northland
Paving. “We take
pride in every project
we do. Our staff
goes the extra step
to ensure quality.”
Northland
Paving has been
featured on
CityNews, Goldhawk Live and
Breakfast Television and continues to
campaign to bring higher standards
to the paving industry.
The following excerpts
are from “A Guide to Residential
Driveway Paving” published by
the Ministry of Consumer and
Commercial Relations:
Don’t choose a contractor based
on price alone. Get references and
be wary of estimates that are much
lower than competitors. Companies
offering cheap paving jobs have been
known to disappear.
Warranties are only good as long
as the company stays in business.
Don’t choose a contractor based
solely on the offer of a longer
warranty. Most defects show up
during the first 12 months, so a one-
year warranty is sufficient.
Be cautious about hiring a contractor
with no local office. A company
based in a distant town is unlikely
to return for warranty work. If given
a local phone number, find out if it
is for an actual office or merely a
P.O. Box.
Northland Paving has
earned a solid reputation with the
residents of GTA East. For a free

who should fit right in with the team.
“I am pleased that Jeremy has decided
to compete for us next season,” com-
mented Muylaert. “Jeremy brings a nice
combination of skill and grit to the game
and we see him as a player who will de-
velop effectively with the style of play of
the Ridgebacks.”
Meanwhile, Johnson is one of three
freshmen recruits to join the UOIT Ridge-
back women’s team, which is gearing up
to play its second season in the OUA.
The right-shooting defender grew up
playing in the Ajax Minor Hockey As-
sociation system before joining the Dur-
ham West Lightning. With the Lightning,
Johnson was no stranger to success as
she appeared in the Provincial Women’s
Hockey League (PWHL) finals as well as
winning on the tournament stage. John-
son has also found success at the high
school level, as she captained her Arch-
bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High
School team to a Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics (LOSSA) championship
in 2007. Along with winning the team
MVP awards in lacrosse (2006, 2007)
and hockey (2007), Johnson was named
the top senior female athlete of the year
(2007).
“Johnson has all the credentials to be-
come an elite hockey player with the
Ridgebacks in the OUA,” stated Scott
Barker, the assistant coach of the Ridge-
backs. “Her leadership abilities combined
with her strong skill set will definitely be
an asset to the team this year.”

2008 Durham Region Senior GamesSenior Games in full swing
DURHAM — Seven of the 19 events
are already in the books, but there’s
still plenty of time to get out and
enjoy the Durham Senior Games.
Table tennis is next on the agenda,
set to go on Sunday at the Oshawa
Seniors’ Centre on John Street.
Next week it’s tennis minus the
table, as seniors will descend on the
Campus Tennis Centre Thursday.
The annual Senior Games began
with shuffleboard and euchre in mid-
April. Cribbage and both 5- and 10-
pin bowling, table tennis and tennis
have also already been contested.
There’s still time, however, to sign
up for the remaining events.
Residents of Durham Region aged
55 and over can pick up registration
forms at area seniors’ centres.
The Durham Senior Games con-
clude with an awards ceremony and
luncheon on Wednesday, June 25 in
Whitby.

UOIT RidgebacksDynamite girls just miss title repeat
A J A X — The Ajax Dynamite under-
nine girls’ soccer team ran out of spark
at an inopportune time at the Oshawa
Kicks Classic soccer tournament recent-
ly.
As defending champs, the pressure
was on, and the Ajax girls made it all the
way to the under-nine division final, only
to lose on a ‘Golden Goal’ by Etobicoke
with one minute left in overtime.
Ajax led 1-0 in the first half following
a brilliant dribbling effort by Milan Dan-
ford. Etobicoke tied the contest midway
through the second half.
Although Ajax Dynamite coach Mi-
chelle White was disappointed in the
loss, the team’s first in its own division
since the first game in July 2006, she was
not, however, disappointed in the team’s
play.
“The girls worked hard all weekend.
We started off slow on Saturday but
played like Dynamite on Sunday. Our
problem this weekend was a scoring
issue -- we couldn’t put the ball in the
back of the net.”
With rain pelting down, the Dyna-
mite girls got off to a slow start against
a physical Whitby ‘A’ squad, playing to a
1-1 tie. They later played a newly formed
Pickering team, squeaking by with a 1-0
win.
The Dynamite girls of old returned to
control the majority of the game against
a strong Etobicoke Energy, winning 2-0.
Julia Snow and Alexis Ferreira pro-
vided solid goalkeeping throughout the
tourney.
The Dynamite girls are off to West
Niagara this coming weekend for the
biggest tournament of the season with 12
teams competing in the U9 division.
