In the wake of the SARS out- break in 2003, Ontario Power Gen- eration (OPG) went through a lengthy process to prepare a plan for a pandemic both at the corpo- rate level and at its business units, including Pickering and Darling- ton nuclear plants. “(SARS) was a real eye opener not just for the electricity industry and OPG, but many folks around the province,” said Jim Coles, man- ager of emergency preparedness, speaking to the Pickering nuclear plant’s community advisory coun- cil. “There were a lot of lessons learned around that event.” After more than two years of work, OPG was declared pandem- ic-ready in 2007 and will contin- ue to review its plan on a regular basis.Among the long list of areas considered are communications, security, health surveillance and the management of antivirals and vaccines. OPG now has enough antiviral medication on hand for all staff. The company looked at what would happen if there was 20-, 30- and 40-per cent absenteeism as a result of an outbreak. Even at the high risk rate of 40 per cent, the plants could continue to produce electricity, OPG says. However, it would depend how the illness was distributed with- in the company. If, for example, 50 per cent of the nuclear opera- tors were unable to work, it would force a shutdown. OPG considered what routine activities could be delayed when the risk was lower and putting training staff back on the front lines. Another option is moving staff between the Pickering and Darlington plants if they were qualified to work at both. The Dar- lington plant has a greater elec- tricity output and would be a big- ger priority. The biggest risk, said Mr. Coles, is the supply chain from the outside. OPG has identified its dependen- cies on critical suppliers and has been working with them to create pandemic plans or review existing ones. In 2006, only a small fraction had a plan but that rate has been rising. “We can also say it’s a condi- tion of you doing business with us that you have a pandemic plan in place,” Mr. Coles said. A member of the council asked how certain Mr. Coles was that there would be a need for the plans in the next 10 or 20 years. “I would suggest to you, in my opinion, it’s a certainty,” respond- ed Mr. Coles, adding that pan- demics crop up about three times every 100 years. “As I recall, 1968 was the last one we had.” EMERGENCY PLANNING Durham’s power plants ready for pandemic METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- Plans are in place to keep the Pickering nuclear plant running in the event of a pan- demic. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 26, 20093 AP CHEF TRAINING Largest Trainers of Chefs & Cooks in Ontario! www.liaisoncollegedurham.com Durham Region905-430-0400 IHIH Enroll Now! 6SWWPERH6H)EWX;LMXF]3202 = Training Beginning April 20, 2009Training Beginning April 20, 2009 Ask about Second Career funding VISIT THE EASTER BUNNY Upper level, near Carlton Cards Friday, March 27th to Saturday, April 11th pickeringtowncentre.com See pickeringtowncentre.com for EASTER BUNNY HOURS ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY In support of: FREE!

Group feels stack sampling sufficient BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Sampling emissions from an inciner- ator’s smoke stack will provide enough informa- tion so separate air monitoring isn’t needed, says a consultant. Christopher Ollson, of Jacques Whitford, said smoke-stack testing is sufficient, adding it “would hit on the key chemicals that could be coming from the facility.” The two main chemicals are dioxin and furans, he told a Joint Waste Management Group, made up of representatives from Durham and York regions look- ing into building an incinerator or energy-from-waste facility, in Clarington. Conducting air monitoring tests would cost about $270,000 a year, Mr. Ollson said. The annual cost of air monitoring was enough for Regional Chairman Roger Anderson to say he didn’t support the sampling. Jack Heath, a Markham councillor on the group, rec- ommended air monitoring testing be conducted for the first three years the facility is operating. He, how- ever, was the only member to support that. All the Durham representatives voted against air monitor- ing. The consultants had been asked to review ‘best practices of environmental monitoring programs’ at similar facilities. They reviewed dozens of reports and scientific literature and recommended continuous stack monitoring of emissions. Human biomonitoring of residents isn’t necessary as long as stack emissions are tested, Mr. Ollson said. “We don’t think you need to go that route as long as you’re testing at the stack.” Dioxin can’t be monitored, so regular testing of emissions would be needed, he said, adding the test- ing can be done at regular intervals. The consultants looked at several testing options, including air, soil, vegetation, agricultural products and human biomonitoring. The “only one we strongly recommend against is human biomonitoring,” Mr. Ollson said, adding the review of scientific literature found it wasn’t neces- sary. The waste management group members agreed to conduct soil testing, which would cost about $10,000 a year. Mr. Ollson also outlined the Environmental Bio- monitoring Program the consultants are recommend- ing. The program established the existing concentra- tion of chemicals in the soil around the proposed site for the incinerator. ENVIRONMENT No air sampling needed after incinerator built in Durham “We believe we have very good baselines. We’re very comfortable with the baseline information collected. There’s nothing in the baseline that was surprising. What we found was what we would expect to find in a rural area near Toronto,” Mr. Ollson said. When asked if there was anything in the baseline studies that concerned him, Mr. Ollson said there was “nothing unexpected. You don’t have a lot of heavy industry in the area. What we’re finding is typically baseline.” METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- Emissions sampling from the Durham incinerator will mean separate air monitoring won’t be required, said a consultant.

Children are sponsored for $35 per month and are able to attend school through the International Needs Net- work. Mary, age 15, is in Grade 8. She was in slave labour fishing since she was age two, pulling in and throwing out nets and removing fishes from them, until she was taken by her aunt, a teacher at the IN Net- work Christian school and adopted. Isaac also lives with a foster family and some of his cousins. “I lost my mother seven years ago and I don’t know my father,” said the 14-year- old, Grade 7 student, dressed in his school uniform of blue shorts and a white and blue striped shirt. Girls wear dresses of the same colour. “We go to school like you and wear uni- forms like you, but Ghana is very different from Canada,” Ms. Takyi said while talking to the Pickering Christian students. The African country suffers financial hardships, but through the IN Network, many children and women are able to access education, Ms. Takyi said. “In fact, all the children in our school are there because of sponsorships,” Ms. Takyi said. IN Network is in 37 countries. In Ghana, the program also helps free women and children in slavery. “So far, we’ve released about 3,700 women and about 17,000 children,” said Bev Dugard, director of women’s minis- tries, IN Network. In Ghana, around Lake Volta — the country’s biggest man-made lake, ritual servitude called “trokosi” is practised. “And it literally is slavery,” Ms. Dugard said. When someone is wronged there, instead of going to the police, they go to a fetish priest who places a curse on the family, lifted only when a virgin girl is given to him. The girls are taken into slav- ery their whole lives, raped, and forced to work. The IN Network frees the women and their children through education, then counsels and liberates them by teaching them skills, such as fabric making and hair styling. IN Network provides them with micro funding to get their own busi- ness going and helps their children go to school. It is $35 a month to sponsor a Ghana child.

The money, announced by the Province earlier this week, is part of the $27.5 billion going toward infrastructure over the next two years; the federal government is contributing $5 billion as well. The spending is intended to create jobs, as well as make improvements to transportation, health care, and education. “I think it’s great news for education,” said Don Lovisa, Durham College president. “It’ll basically help address capacity problems we have at the college.” With the recession, Durham College is see- ing a spike in the number of people heading back to school, but it’s already at its maxi- mum. “We have three needs,” said Mr. Lovisa. The school is hoping to get a second phase of funding for its Whitby Skills Centre expan- sion; money for deferred maintenance, which is a big issue for all post-secondary schools; and funding to add more capacity to respond to the growing student demand, Mr. Lovisa said. At this point, no one knows how the money will be distributed, he said. “We’re sitting waiting like everyone else,” Mr. Lovisa said. For federal funding previously announced, schools have to submit an application, but it’s not yet known how the provincial cash will be doled out. Last year, every college in Ontario had to submit its capital plans to the Province, which then hired a group to visit them all and evaluate their projects, Mr. Lovisa said. Durham College had its visit in January. He’s unsure if funding will be based on that. “We won’t know that until the budget speech is done and what the allocations are,” Mr. Lovisa said. The budget speech is Thursday, March 26. The school has “shovel-ready” projects for when funding comes through. It was always anticipated the Province would make a substantial investment in infrastructure projects to stimulate the econ- omy, Mr. Lovisa said.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions PATRIOTISM Let’s make Nov. 11 a statutory holiday To the editor: As the son of a Second World War naval service person and a past president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 178 Bomanville, I have a troubling question. Why is it Family Day was discussed and almost immediately made a holiday across Ontario, as well as some other provinces, but Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, is not a statutory holiday here in Ontario? Don’t get me wrong. I am not against families taking time to be together, parents being able to spend time with their chil- dren, siblings, whatever. But what of the sacrifice many made for our freedom so that we are now able to enjoy Family Day? We have men and women still putting their lives on the line for us every day, we remember them as well on Nov. 11 but we do not have a statutory holiday for that rea- son either. I am very proud of those who never came home and who came home wounded and were never the same. I feel Nov. 11 should definitely have some more respect than Family Day. I realize Remembrance Day is recognized in some provinces but why not in Ontario? With our nation’s capital being in Ottawa, it would seem we should logically have Nov. 11 as a statutory holiday. We find each year more people are com- ing out to cenotaph services but these peo- ple are either a group of school children with their teachers or retired and elder- ly persons. If we had Nov. 11 as a holiday more families could come together to show their respect for those who have served and are still serving. Jim Connell HERITAGE Sale of church sad To the editor: How sad I am to read about the closing and sale of the Whitevale United Church. How necessary are places like this for our children to go a little north of the city, to this beautiful country setting. A beautiful old church full of history for our children to enjoy and to be allowed to attend youth programs. How healthy for our children to have the opportunity to learn the arts and have the privilege of meeting and being coached in theatre by such talented local residents. What a wonderful gathering place for local functions and to enjoy the simple things in life, which seem to have been lost in our modern fast-paced society. Durham Region should, without hesitation, pur- chase this “jewel” and allow Whitevale to remain the quaint little community it has been known for. Anne Hirlehey Cherrywood West FEDERAL POLITICS We need leadership from the top To the editor: If only the prime minister would stop campaigning on the taxpayers’ dime and address the real issues at home, Afghan- istan, the economy, unemployment, national unity, the erosion of our demo- cratic institutions under his government - - just to mention a few. Stephen Harper and some of his minis- ters are galavanting all over the country under the auspices of the economic crisis and a get tough-on-crime agenda. These so-called get-tough-on-crime sheriffs have no problem attending functions where the political environment is conducive to their agenda. Listening to the PM espouse his fond affection for democracy is a little ironic, coming from a man who twice pro- rogued Parliament in as many years rather than assume his responsibilities. Our democratic institutions, the very fab- ric of the nation we so deeply cherish, have become a political football for the Conser- vatives to cherrypick at will. Thomas O’Brien Earth Hour reminds us how critical conservation truly is It will be lights out for everybody this Sat- urday at 8:30 p.m. as residents take time to reconnect with Mother Earth. Known as Earth Hour, the idea is to save as much energy as possible for 60 min- utes in a bid to realize the value of con- servation and just how important it is to all our lives. Borne out of the Great Blackout of August 2003 when the power was off in much of central and eastern North America for 24 to 36 hours, Earth Hour reminds us all of the importance of con- servation. We can all remember nearly six years ago when we struggled to make do with- out power for what seemed an endless time period. There were great concerns raised then about our power grid, about how frag- ile it was, about how much energy we used in our daily lives, about how totally dependent we were on it all, and about the steps we could take then and in the years since to use a little bit less of it. Since the Great Power Outage, much has changed. There has been a concert- ed effort in the public consciousness to find ways to conserve electricity. The government has been pushing energy saver light bulbs and has indicated that traditional bulbs will be phased out in a few years. Energy Star appliances are commonly found in furniture stores and consumers are snapping them up. Home heating bills have made people more conscientious about finding ways to use less energy. And all of that has helped us be more aware of conservation. But Earth Hour brings it all together in one evening. On Saturday night, we can walk out on our balconies or on our sidewalks and take a look into the sky and, hopefully, see the stars. If we all co-operate and everybody turns out the lights, we can appreciate the darkness and help save some energy. The goal, it is hoped, is to go beyond this one single hour. Try to see if, after Earth Hour, you can use a little less energy. Maybe you can be more aware about the energy you use. Maybe you could turn the thermostat down a degree or two. Perhaps you could make sure the lights are out when you leave the room. Turn off the TV when nobody is watching and make sure that power doesn’t go to waste. Energy is so important in our lives but it is a resource we cannot afford to take for granted. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 26, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 26, 20097 AP RED TAG DAYS IT’S BACK!

E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 MANAGE YOUR WASTE.SAVE THE PLANET. www.durhamregionwaste.ca Question: Why aren’t coffee cups recyclable? Answer: Although the disposable cups you get with your morning coffee at your local coffee shop look like they are made of paper, the thin layer on the inside of the cup is plastic. This waxy coating which makes the cups leak proof, also presents problems when it comes to recycling them. Frequently, disposable cups are made with 100 per cent new paper material. While there are exceptions where 10 per cent of a cup uses recycled content and 90 per cent new paper, cups can’t be made with 100 per cent recyclable fi bre because they would be too weak to withstand the heat of hot coffee or other hot beverages. One option for consumers is to bring your own refi llable mug to your local coffee shop. Some large retailers currently offer a 10 cent discount for customers who bring a mug – the amount saved by not supplying a paper cup, according to their website. Durham Region’s current waste diversion programs do not accept paper coffee cups, so please deposit them in the garbage. We’ll keep you posted if this changes. Question: What happens to the cans that I put into the Blue Box? Answer: Steel and aluminum cans are 100 per cent recyclable. Aluminum cans are those used for most beverages, like soft drinks. When picked up from your curbside here in Durham Region, the cans are sorted at our state-of-the- art Material Recovery Facility (MRF) located in Whitby. Aluminum cans are pulled from other metals using an eddy current magnet, then crushed and bulked together in 1.3 cubic metre bales, weighing on average 462 kg. One of the Region’s buyers acts as a procurement agent for a worldwide industry leader in aluminum rolling. By recycling used cans, the end user saves the equivalent of 11 million barrels of oil and pre- vents the production of over four million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, by not extracting and using raw materials. Steel cans follow a similar process of separa- tion from other recyclables on a large conveyor belt at the MRF, using a magnet. Steel cans are used to package more than 1500 different kinds of food – everything from apples to zucchini, and are also used for paints and aerosol sprays – all containers that can be recycled. In Durham Region, the crushed and baled steel is sold to various distribution companies which then melt down the cans and reuse the steel for new products. Recycling aluminum uses less than fi ve per cent of the energy used to make the original product. Re- cycling one aluminum beverage can save enough energy to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, a computer for three hours, or a TV for two hours. In North America, using recycled steel saves enough energy in one year to electrically power 18 mil- lion homes for one year. 1-866-873-9945 www.welcomewagon.ca If You Are...

Cash prizes for solar hot water and e-cool trike design winners BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Working toward saving the environment could equal cash for Dur- ham high school students. The Durham Electric Vehicle Associa- tion (DEVA) has issued a solar hot water heater, and e-cool trike challenge to Durham high school students. “We want to get some enlightenment to the young folks that it’s not that hard to get involved in alternative energy,” said Art Rosbottom, DEVA president. Prizes for each of the challenges include $200 for first place, $100 for sec- ond, and $50 for third. The solar hot water challenge includes providing: design, prepared drawings, assembly instructions for a do-it-your- self homeowners project, a sample solar hot water heater, a final report on the challenge; and measurements of the heat collected per square metre of the collector. Adults are also welcome to participate in the solar hot water heater challenge, but for no prize, said John Stephenson, DEVA member and project co-ordina- tor. The objective of the project is to famil- iarize students with the basic principles of collecting energy, and provide cost- effective designs of solar water heaters that can be built by homeowners. The purpose of the e-cool trike com- petition is to foster a knowledge of the principles of electric vehicle technology in Grade 11 and Grade 12 students. It will judge each team’s knowledge of the fundamentals of magnetism and electricity; understanding of the physics of energy as related to the propulsion of a vehicle; and the design and construc- tion of a three-wheel, electrically-assist- ed vehicle able to carry one person plus 10 kg safely, and at a speed of 12 km/h for at least 10 kilometres using a single sealed lead acid, type 22, 12-volt bat- tery. This is the first time DEVA is issuing student challenges, and it hopes the contest will allow youth to have fun, be recognized, and encouraged, Mr. Ros- bottom said. The two different projects are intend- ed to attract as many people as possible interested in alternative energy. Part of the club’s mission is to bring in more students and let them know the future is theirs. “It’s not ours, we messed it up, but we can teach them what we have learned and hopefully they can make use of that knowledge,” Mr. Rosbottom said.

Regional councillors voted unanimous- ly for the deal with the National Automo- bile, Aerospace, Transportation and Gen- eral Workers Union of Canada, which is part of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union. The bargaining unit represents about 300 Durham transit workers, including drivers and mechanics. The three-year contract means a three- per cent salary increase in 2009, 2.75 per cent in 2010 and 2.35 per cent in 2011, said Garth Johns, the Region’s commis- sioner of human resources. It will also mean some adjustments to benefits, though nothing dramatic, said Mr. Johns. According to the CAW’s website, work- ers voted 87.9 per cent in favour of the contract earlier this month. This is the second contract for workers since the amalgamation of local transit authorities into Durham Region Transit. The first bargaining process resulted in a month-long transit strike in 2007. “From my perspective we’re very happy with the relationship that has developed with ourselves and the CAW and this is evidence of it -- that we have a reasonable and responsible settlement for all parties,” said Mr. Johns. In a prepared statement, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson also lauded the deal. “This is great news for everyone. The negotiating teams worked hard to devel- op a solution that respects Durham’s tax- payers as well as Durham Region Transit’s CAW members,” he said. “With this agreement in place, we can focus on meeting the growing transporta- tion needs of Durham’s residents.” LABOUR Transit workers and Durham reach deal ADVERTISING FEATURE GOVERNMENT ome Renovation ome TAX CREDIT GUIDE 2009 trusted home improvements #T85 3609466 * ECRA / ESA licensed contractors Durham Region 905.686.7236 For every need that might arise, Handyman Connection is committed to providing you with dependable and skilled craftsmen, great customer service, and fi rst class workmanship.

Admits Two AdultsWIN one of two $500 shopping sprees from Vandermeer Nurseries Retail price $500 There is no better time to renovate your home than today. The Federal Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) provides a one-year, temporary 15 per cent income tax credit on eligible home improvement expenditures for work performed or goods acquired between now and February 1, 2010. The credit is intended not only to stimulate spending, but also to create new jobs in the construction, renovation sector, which has been affected by the economic downturn. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said this in turn would support forestry and other industries related to home improvement and construction. The government expects more then 4.6 million families to benefi t from this tax credit, valued at more than $2.5 billion when they fi le their 2009 taxes. That adds up to $1,350 for every Canadian homeowner who maximizes the credit. The easiest way to understand the credit is like this: if you’re not taking it with you, it qualifi es. That includes kitchens, bathrooms, basements, fl oors, roofi ng, permanent landscaping, insulation, paint and even resurfacing the driveway. Customarily, consumers are encouraged to begin with your kitchen or bathroom. Homebuyers have consistently paid premiums for upgraded kitchens, this according to Patricia Lovett-Reid. Energy effi ciencies are also worth considering as you not only reap the benefi ts of the HRTC but also can take advantage of ecoEnergy program. The tax credit applies to permanent improvements to your home, installing a furnace, building a deck, laying new sod, it even covers the expenses related to building permits and professional services and equipment rentals. Routine repairs and maintenance do not qualify. According to a recent survey commissioned by Lowe’s Canada, one in fi ve Canadians reported the Home Renovation Tax Credit makes them more like to undertake renovations in the next 12 months. “This is the best year to invest in your home and take advantage of the temporary tax credit,” says Lowe’s president Don. T. Stallings. As Canadians hunker down in this new economy, creating a safe haven will be foremost in their minds. 64 per cent of Canadians will undertake home improvement projects for their personal enjoyment, while 12 per cent do it to add value to their homes for resale, and a remaining 11 per cent do it as a way of improving energy effi ciency. Despite the economy, Lowe’s survey says that 47 per cent of Canadians are still planning to renovate in the next 12 months. And nearly two-thirds of that group will spend up to $5,000 on home renovations. Claude Bernier, executive VP at RONA, believes this “initiative could inspire consumers to realize projects they would otherwise have not considered this year.” The tax credit lends itself perfectly to Canada’s top home improvement projects. The most popular of which is a fresh coat of paint, renovating the bathroom and kitchen. Followed by installing new carpet or hardwood fl oors, building a deck, addition, fence or retaining wall In addition to the HRTC, dozens of retailers are offering additional savings to entice consumers into their stores. From gift cards, top-ups, air travel rewards, free expert advice and competitive fi nancing; it has become a renovator’s market! Home improvement retailer, RONA cites the measure as positive and complements its already existing incentives. As the temperatures rise, take time to visit your local home improvement retailer or landscape specialist today to begin making plans for 2009.

A message from Pickering Fire Services THE HOME DEPOT GIVES CANADIANS MORE REASONS TO RENOVATE WITH ITS NEW HRTC TOP UP PROGRAM The Home Depot Canada today announced in March its Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) Top Up program, where The Home Depot customers can earn up to $1,000 over and above the Federal tax credit in The Home Depot gift cards. “We know that now, more than ever, consumers are looking for value and our HRTC Top Up program delivers just that,” said Annette Verschuren, President, The Home Depot Canada and Asia. “We’ve developed a retail incentive program for Canadians that is truly easy to understand and use.” The program runs from now to April 12, 2009, and consists of three easy-to-use components: • Consumers simply need to spend between $1,000 and $10,000 on any HRTC eligible products to receive up to $1,000 back in The Home Depot gift cards, when using The Home Depot credit card. • Choose from two convenient payment terms: six months deferred or 24 months equal payments. • Consumers can easily track their HRTC eligible purchases and claim their gift cards at homedepot. ca as of July 2009. Another handy feature that will be available is a complete list of HRTC eligible products purchased on The Home Depot Credit Card which will be convenient at tax time. Throughout 2009, additional HRTC Top Up programs focusing on key seasonal categories will be available to consumers so they can continue to accumulate purchases towards the program. To keep consumers informed, program up-dates will also be posted on homedepot.ca. A recent survey commissioned by The Home Depot Canada uncovered that the majority of Canadians (58 per cent) think that for an improvement project to increase a home’s worth it has to cost at least $5,000, and this simply isn’t the case. “Small home projects can have a huge impact on the overall feel and value of a home,” said Verschuren. “We anticipate that our new HRTC Top Up program along with our Lower Prices Program will help Canadians take on projects, big and small so they can continue to invest in their homes.” Source: Newswire.ca Please Call 416-876-2517 for a free estimate Granite&MarbleGranite & Marble COUNTERTOPSCOUNTERTOPS FREE Sink* with Countertop Installation (*50 sq.ft. & up) We will beat your best quote!!We will beat your best quote!!

Whether you’re planning to give this room a complete overhaul or simply looking for a facelift, consider the following suggestions from The Home Depot Canada: Treat for the feet.For the bathroom, tiled fl ooring is in. Luckily, there are a variety of tile types available to choose from that fi t any sized bathroom and budget. Go even further and add luxury and comfort by installing radiant fl ooring to eliminate the morning shock of cold fl oors. Fancy fi xtures. Choose fi xtures that have simple lines. Wall sconces are a lavish way to brighten areas around the vanity. For the sink, go with the vessel model. If you’re in need of a new tub, try a classic claw-foot tub. Both will add glamour while remaining functional. Let it fl ow. Make the bathroom sparkle by replacing the tired faucets and showerhead with ones fi nished in chrome. For the shower, choose a showerhead with spa features to help relax and invigorate. Knock-knock. Replacing the bathroom cabinets is a great way to instantly change the appearance of the space. There are many modern and traditional styles to choose from. If replacing cabinets isn’t in the budget, consider replacing only the doors or door hardware to refresh the room’s look. Make a splash. Backsplash in glass, stone or mirrored tile are popular mediums that add luminescence and functionality to the bathroom. Add colour. Painting or wallpapering the walls is an easy way to transform a room. Consider using damask wallpaper to create a sense of drama.

Household smells, say home economists, should be pinpointed at the source and removed as soon as possible. Some odours do persist however, and others just keep coming back. Periodic odours are often just a symptom of lots of people and pets, living together. You may, for example, have unwanted smells from food and cooking, or from gym bags, laundry baskets, shoe racks, the dog and cat, the ashtrays, garbage cans, or from an overworked bathroom and busy kitchen. To tackle it all, try these handy little tips, courtesy of the 50-year veteran, Mr. Clean. SPRING CLEANING T IPS: RID YOUR HOME OF ODOURS • Food & Fridge: You don’t have to clean out the fridge completely to keep it odour free, as long as you check it every couple of days to make sure food item (like vegetables and dairy products) are not rotting. Put an open box of baking soda on a rear shelf to help absorb odours the mix of smells. • Cooking: Use an exhaust fan if cooking strong fl avoured foods, such as fi sh, garlic sauces, and deep green vegetables. Use a citrus-scented, multipurpose spray to clean surfaces. If smells persist inside the microwave, place a dish of water and lemon juice in the centre and heat for fi ve minutes. • Floors: Daily foot traffi c, dust and grime, cigarette smoke, pet hairs and pet accidents — all add up to odour. Some fl oor cleaners smell good, but the effects don’t last long. Do note, that the Febreze scent is now added to Mr. Clean. Used on fl oors it will help to eliminate odours in the air. • Kitchen Sink: If there’s odour from your drainpipe, pour one cup of a favourite antibacterial liquid into the plughole, leave it overnight, and rinse thoroughly. Coffee grinds are also good for cutting drainpipe grease. Just tip them from the fi lter into the drain, and fl ush through. • Toilets: Once the toilet is thoroughly clean, put a disinfectant product inside for good measure. Keep a dispenser of thick and strong wet wipes nearby to quickly clean the rim at the end of a busy day. • Pets: The hair and body oil of dogs and cats can cause strong odours. For pet accidents, clean up with either your favourite all-purpose spray, with antibacterial wet wipes, or with a disinfectant, liquid cleaner with Febreze scent. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 26, 200917 AP ADVERTISING FEATURE omeome RenovationRenovation GOVERNMENT TAX CREDIT GUIDE 2009 ASK US A B O U T T H E HOME R E N O V A T I O N TAX CRE D I T CUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESKCUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESK 905-683-0887 OR 416-984-4332905-683-0887 OR 416-984-4332 WHITBY 4400 Halls Rd.

According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the renovation sector in Canada is expected to reach $53.3-billion in 2008, a 6.8 per cent increase over 2007. The CMHC suggests that the best time to renovate is within the fi rst three years of purchasing a home. Performing renovations shortly after moving in is more cost effective and less disruptive. Common renovations for new homeowners include the basement and attic. Both projects can help to increase the living space and value of the home. A large attic over the garage can be transformed into a new bedroom or a home offi ce while the basement can become a game room or play area. Fiberglas batt insulation is versatile and can be used for both basement and attic insulation. It will form a solid thermal barrier between studs and help conserve energy to help reduce heating and air conditioning costs. Insulating the basement or attic is an easy do-it- yourself project, however, homeowners can also choose to hire a professional. Homeowners who are looking for an alternate way to insulate their attic are encouraged to look for a professional that specializes in PROPINK Blown Fiberglas insulation, which produces a fast blow rate with minimal dust and static. The colour PINK is a registered trademark of Owens Corning. For more information on basement and attic insulation or fi nding a professional visit, www.owenscorning.ca.

If you’re thinking about a change, make your renovations about more than just dramatic colours and designer details: eco- friendly products can add life and value to your real estate, save money by reducing energy use, and even make your home a healthier place to live in. Look for the Government of Canada’s EcoLogo program symbol in purchasing products for your next project! The EcoLogo program verifi es a product meets specifi c environmental leadership standards. There are over 7,000 products in Canada marked with EcoLogo, including home and building products. See www.ecologo.org for more details. Paint the town green. Opt for paints and paint strippers that contain little or no solvents. For indoor jobs, use water- or clay-based paints to avoid releasing volatile organic compounds. Sustainable fl ooring. If you want carpeting, make sure it’s formaldehyde-free, and use a water-based adhesive for installation. Better yet, choose all-natural linoleum, durable hardwood, or new greener options such as rapidly renewable – or reclaimed – wood or cork (which can be harvested without damaging the tree). Go natural. When shopping for new furniture, choose pieces made with water-based varnish or stain, or visit consignment or antique shops to bring new life to “gently used” furnishings. Save your energy. Cut your energy costs by installing low-fl ow toilets, ENERGY STAR qualifi ed appliances, dimmer switches, and ceiling fans. Update the insulation in your walls and attic and seal all gaps around fi xtures, openings, doors and window frames with exterior caulk to keep your place cool through the summer months. The Government of Canada’s ecoENERGY Retrofi t – Homes program provides home and property owners with grants of up to $5,000 to offset the cost of making energy effi ciency improvements. The average grant is close to $1,000 and yields, on average, a 25 percent reduction in energy use and costs.

(NC) Using a ladder to hang pictures and decorations, change a light bulb, clean gutters, or trim overhanging tree branches is much safer than using a chair or other makeshift booster. However, every year thousands of emergency room visits – and even deaths – are caused by ladder-related accidents. Here are some issues to avoid: • Overreaching: Leaning too far to the side or climbing too high on the rungs. • “Walking the Ladder”: A dangerous practice where a ladder user decides to try to move a ladder while standing on it. The user stays atop the ladder and attempts to shuffl e the ladder’s legs to the desired position. • Inappropriate Ladder Type: Pay attention to a ladder’s ratings. Duty ratings defi ne the load-bearing weight of ladders. They are designed to support one person plus materials and tools. • Insecure Footing: Check that ladders have secure footing. This helps prevent slippage and tilting. • Electrical Dangers: If you are working on or near electrical lines, use nonconductive wood or fi berglass ladders. • Adjustable Ladders: If using an extension ladder, stepladder, or multi- use articulating or telescoping ladders, make sure all latches are locked in place before stepping on the ladder and use extreme care when closing to avoid injury to fi ngers or hands. Remember, when in doubt, always consult a professional.

For Chappell, who had 38 goals in the regu- lar season, the goal was his first of the playoffs.

LUMBERJACKING Ajax loggers off to Australia Derry and Flaxman to represent Canada down under BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A pair of locals are preparing to head down under. Anne Derry and Kirsty Flaxman, both of Ajax, are part of the seven-member Canadian Log- gersports team that will depart March 28 for Australia and the World Lumberjack Champi- onships April 9-19. While a few Canadians, including Derry, made the trip a year ago, Canada couldn’t field a full team and was forced to look to the Unit- ed States to draw into a few competitions on their behalf, but that won’t be the case this time around. “Last year we ended up with USA competitors filling spots for Team Canada because we didn’t have enough people, but this year we are an exclusively Canadian team and that, for me, is something I am looking forward to,” Derry said. Noting that with the experience gained from competing a year ago, Derry hopes the event will be a little easier to adjust to this time around. “I think having the knowledge and experience from having competed before will make a big difference,” said Derry, who has been compet- ing in loggersports for seven years, first taking it up as a student at Fleming College in Lindsay. In 2003 Derry joined up with the pro circuit and has been involved in roughly 15 competi- tions a year through Ontario, Quebec and the United States ever since. The events on the slate for Australia include the underhand chop, where loggersports com- petitors stand on top of the log and swing an axe down between the feet. One side is chopped, followed by the other, while the event ends with the athlete standing on top of the split log, which measures 10-11 inches in diameter. The double buck jill and jill cross cut will also be performed with two team members on each end of a saw, working together to make a clean cut through the log in the best possible time. Team members will also compete in the sin- gle buck event, where one person controls the long saw to cut through a log 16 inches thick. All seven members will also compete in the team relay, consisting in specific order the underhand chop, jill and jill cross cut and sin- gle buck, followed by another cross cut and ending with a second underhand chop. DURHAM COLLEGE Indoor soccer vying for championship Locals looking to scoop up an OCAA gold medal VAUGHAN -- Back to Vaughan it is. That’s where the Durham Lords’ women’s indoor soccer team is today, as it competes in the OCAA championships at the Ontario Soccer Centre, just a couple of weeks after capturing the regional crown to book its ticket to the final on the very same indoor pitch. After missing out on the OCAA champion- ship last season, the Lords made an impres- sive statement at regionals, outscoring its opponents 11-1 in four games en route to a perfect record. In Durham’s opening match Pickering’s Jennifer Michalicka scored twice in a 3-1 victory over George Brown College. Oshawa’s Katie Watts scored the other Lords goal, while in Game 2 the story was goalie Ashley Visser of Uxbridge, who stopped everything that came her way in a 1-0 win over Centennial College. Krista Metcalf was the lone goal scorer for Durham in the game. The offensive floodgates opened in Game 3, thanks in large part to Michalicka who scored four goals. Brittany Micucci added a pair and Visser was perfect in another shutout effort, 6-0 over Canadore College. Durham drew Seneca in their final game, where Metcalf scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory, eliminating North York from cham- pionship contention. Visser was once again in goal for the shutout. Michalicka’s six goals in four games earned the distinction of being the tournament’s top scorer. The story wasn’t so good for the men’s team, however, as it was missing four start- ers and went with a short bench at the regionals, ending up with a 2-2 record. Durham lost its first game 3-1 to George Brown, before rebounding for shutout wins against Centennial 3-0 and Canadore 1-0. Andrew McLeod picked up the shutout in both. Its final game was a 3-1 loss to the Sene- ca Sting, leaving Durham in third place and on the outside looking in at a championship berth.

It’s a question on the minds of many job-seekers. Career postings get hundreds of responses from eager candidates. So what steps should applicants take to make sure that short document stands out for the right reasons? Professional recruiter Marj Taraso sees thousands of applications each year. Besides proof-reading and spell-checking, she has a few pieces of advice to ensure that resume ends up at the top of the pile. Here are four tips from Ms. Taraso: - Keep it short and concise, but interesting. A resume should usually be two pages, Ms. Taraso said. Don’t include unnecessary information about yourself, such as positions you held 20 years ago. Keep job descriptions to about 100 words. - Employers look for growth. If you’ve been at one company for a long time, be sure to talk about each position you held while you were there. “Show growth or movement in your position, so it doesn’t look like you’ve been stagnant while you worked there,” Ms. Taraso said. - Research the company. Know what is done there in detail before you press ‘send’. Make sure you are right for the job, but also make sure the company is right for you, Ms. Taraso said. “Look at the company to see if it offers the growth you are looking for; it’s not always just about skill set.” - Don’t be shy; articulate your strengths. It shows a level of confi dence, Ms. Taraso said. If you are applying for a sales position and you are good at cold calling or a great team player, write that down, she said. So, don’t just write what you did at each past job, communicate your talents specifi cally. “Those are core points an employer will look for.” Next Issue Thursday April 30th Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington, Ajax & Pickering For further information please call News Advertiser at 905-683-5110 25 AP FOR A CAREER ABOVE and BEYOND!

Most of all for being a wonderful devoted Wife, Mother and Grand- mother. She trully touched many lives and inspired many people.
