Teams of volunteers from OPG cleaned up yards for seniors who cannot do it themselves.Lending a hand in Pickering OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP HELPS APPRECIATIVE SENIORS BY JENNIFER O’MEARA newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Volunteers busted out the rakes and lawn mowers on Saturday to help local seniors do some spring yard work. Operation Clean Sweep was organized by Joe Amantea, an Ontario Power Generation assistant technical engineer. “We got a good response. We got 32 volunteers and all the seniors are really happy about it,” said Mr. Amantea. Seventy-one year old Inge Lveg was certainly very pleased to see the volunteers come to her house. She has orthopedic and back problems which make it hard to manage her large yard. Ms. Lveg has lived in her Marksbury Road home for 42 years and, with her adult children living abroad, the work of the volunteers means a lot to her. “It means my survival, since I can’t do it any- more and do not want to go into a home,” said Ms. Lveg.

As of May 1, the Province autho- rized a series of new license sus- pensions for those caught drinking and driving. Drivers who register between 0.05 blood-alcohol con- centration and the legal impaired limit of 0.08 will now face a lengthy license suspension instead of a 12- hour driving prohibition. The first time a driver regis- ters between 0.05 and 0.08, their license will be suspended for three days instead of 12 hours. A second offense will see the driver’s license revoked for seven days and enrol- ment in a mandatory remedial alcohol education program. If there is a third time a driver reg- isters between 0.05 and 0.08, they will incur a 30-day license suspen- sion, must undergo a remedial alcohol treatment program and have an alcohol ignition interlock condition on their license for six months. Each time a driver’s license is sus- pended, it will be returned to the Ministry of Transportation. There will be a $180 administration fee to have the license returned. Melissa Langworth, president of the Durham MADD chapter, applauds the increased sanctions against those who drink and drive. “We think it’s great and that it’s a step in the right direction for sure. We don’t know if it’s tough enough, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction,” she said. “For the first time, (the suspension) is three days. We don’t know if that’s enough of a deterrent, but it’s definitely better than a 12-hour suspension.” Ms. Langworth is hoping the increased license suspensions will “get people thinking” before they head out for a night of partying. “We want people to plan ahead; if you know you’re going to be drink- ing, know how you’re going to get home,” she said. “Sometimes one or two drinks leads to more, so we want people to know how they’re getting home.” Andrew Murie, MADD Canada’s chief executive officer, also ques- tions if the new sanctions are harsh enough. In other provinces, he noted, suspensions start at seven days and escalate to 30- and 60-day suspensions. He argues that a driver who loses his license for three days could simply take holidays or catch a ride with someone else. “We know 12- or 24-hour (license) suspensions don’t make a difference, but is three (days) the right starting point or should it be seven,” he asked. Regardless, he stressed that he’s “thrilled” suspensions have been increased and noted that they will “deliver a message” to those who drink and drive. “It’s a start in the right direction,” said Mr. Murie. Sergeant Jeff Galipeau, of the Durham police force’s traffic and marine enforcement unit, called the new rules “another step to get drunks off the road and make the roads safer. It’s a positive push and we’re very happy.” He added that Durham officers will continue to be “vigilant” in their pursuit of impaired drivers and noted the force will also con- tinue to host random RIDE spot- checks on Durham roads through- out the year. PUBLIC SAFETY Province steps up drunk driving law WE ASKED Do you support the new drinking and driving law that came into effect May 1? (from left) RICHARD GELINAIS --‘They have to do more, it’s a privilege to drive not a right. People that drink and drive are not pun- ished enough.’ CASEY LUSH --‘The law still seems a little weak. I don’t think it will deter anybody. I think you should lose your license for the first offence.’ LEN GALLANT --‘What burns me is that the cops catch them and the courts release them. The law has no teeth. The only people that benefit are the lawyers, it’s a bit of a farce. I feel sorry for the cops.’ DAN HORNER --‘I don’t think the new law goes far enough. It lowers the levels but not enough. They have to do more with even tougher sentences.’ Asked at Lakeview Park in Oshawa DURHAM -- A Durham Regional Police Officer stops a motorist during a RIDE check last December. The Province has changed the law regarding blood alcohol levels. Now drivers caught with .05 blood-alco- hol concentration will face a minimum three-day suspension of their drivers licence. Before, the penalty was a 12-hour driving suspension. We know 12- or 24-hour (license) suspensions don’t make a difference. Andrew Murie HWY 2HARWOOD AVE S.

Page 6 - Today’s editorial newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 20093 AP AJAX -- An Ajax landlord was fined $3,000 for an ille- gal basement apartment after a fire broke out in it. The landlord was fined after pleading guilty in pro- vincial offences court to creating a hazardous situa- tion not originally designed for in the construction of the single-family home. There was a fire in the basement kitchen on Sept. 15, 2008 and after an investigation, it was found that the owner did not get the required permits and approvals to create a second residence within the home, according to the Town of Ajax. Ajax Fire Services says there’s an increased risk for fire for a tenant when there is a second residence that does not have the proper permits and approv- als. “Our goal is to prevent fire deaths in our commu- nity by making landlords understand their respon- sibility with respect to creating and operating base- ment apartments,” said fire prevention inspector Kevin Vaughan. According to Ontario Fire Marshal’s office, each year there are 1,500 residential kitchen fires in Ontar- io. The most common cause of these fires is careless cooking. The Town of Ajax, which released the information on the court fine, did not release the name of the landlord. FIRE RISK Ajax landlord fined $3,000 for illegal apartment COURTS Murder accused denies taking knife to bar Sought to have ‘fun’ on fateful night in Ajax: witness BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- A man on trial for a fatal stabbing has testified he was looking for fun, not conflict, when he travelled to an Ajax nightclub with friends more than two years ago. Taking the witness stand in his own defence Tuesday, Troy Johnson-Lee, 24, said he wasn’t carrying a weapon the night one young man was fatally stabbed and another gravely wounded out- side the now-defunct RimRock club on Harwood Avenue. “The plan was just to meet up at the RimRock and just have fun,” Mr. Johnson-Lee told defence lawyer Mary Cremer. Mr. Johnson-Lee has pleaded not guilty to sec- ond-degree murder in the death of Orin Felix, 19, and attempted murder in an attack on another young man. Both victims were attacked by a man wielding a knife outside the club early on Sept. 1, 2006. Witnesses at Mr. Johnson-Lee’s Superior Court trial said violence erupted outside the club after a scuffle involving several young men on the dance HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY pickeringtowncentre.com The perfect gift for Mother’s Day Pickering Town Centre Mall-Wide Gift Cards Available at Guest Services. Lower Level near Centre Court. floor earlier in the evening. Some witnesses have said they saw a man resembling Mr. Johnson-Lee attack the victims; he denies harming either man. Mr. Johnson-Lee is the first defence witness to take the stand in this trial, which began in early March. The father of three young children said he went to the club with friends after finishing his afternoon shift as a shipper-receiver, arriving at about midnight. Mr. Johnson-Lee said he was subjected to a “pat-down” search by security staff before being allowed to enter the bar. “Nothing was found on me,” he said of the search. “Did you sneak a knife into the bar?” Ms. Cremer asked. “No, I did not,” Mr. Johnson-Lee replied. The trial, before Justice Bruce Glass and a jury, contin- ues in Whitby. The plan was just to meet up at the RimRock and just have fun. Troy Johnson-Lee David Caplan talks wait times, improvements BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ontario Health and Long Term Care Minister David Caplan was in town Monday to talk policy with local business leaders. “I don’t simply want to protect what we have, I want to improve,” he told the crowd at the Ajax Hilton Garden Inn. The minister was in Durham to address the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade and announce a new MRI machine for Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The Province’s health-care system is trying to recover from years of under-funding in the early 90s, Mr. Caplan said in his speech. The Liberal government is focusing on improving wait times and increasing access to family health care, he said. “Rouge Valley, for example, is one of the lead- ers in this province in driving down wait times,” he said after his speech. At the local hospital network, hip and knee replacement wait times have decreased by a year, a feat the minister called a “wonderful success.” Getting people out of ERs when their ailments could be better treated elsewhere is also a pri- ority, he said. “We want people to get the care in the appro- priate setting.” The government is working to educate resi- dents on what health options are best for differ- ent situations. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has a section of its web- site dedicated to explaining the different options. The Ontario govern- ment has also launched commercials giv- ing examples of when to go to an emergen- cy room and when to choose an alternative like a family doctor or urgent-care facility. Visits to local boards are important to hear what issues people are having in com- munities, Mr. Caplan said. “My purpose is to meet with commu- nity leaders; whether they’re in business, whether they’re in municipal government, it’s important to be able to not only speak to them but to listen, hear their concerns, share what some of our plans are going for- ward and then ask them to work with us in partnerships to help us to realize our very ambitious agenda.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 20094 AP PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE COMFORT FROM ITALY BLAISDALE M O N TES SORIBLAISDALE MONTESSORI SCHOOL 12 months - grade 8Blaisdale.com 905-509-5005 OPEN HOUSE Thurs.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions AUTO SECTOR Worker bashing unfair To the editor: Re: No sympathy here for auto workers, San- dra Allen letter, April 30. I’m a retired auto worker and we don’t want anybody’s sympathy. We worked for a com- pany that made a contract that put money in for our pensions. If it didn’t think it was the thing to do, it shouldn’t have done it. Our government guaranteed the contract and GM underfunded the pension plan, so guess what, the government is now going back on the agreement it made. Yes, we made good money and benefits. We also paid a lot in taxes. We just want people to understand what’s at stake if GM leaves Oshawa. We are tired of taking the blame. Jim Morris Oshawa Poverty for autoworker pensioners won’t solve GM crisis To the editor: A lot of people believe taxpayers should not bail out autoworkers’ pensions, yet even though autoworkers make more money than a lot of people, they have also paid billions of dollars in taxes and given huge amounts in donations to charity (just ask the United Way, the Hospital for Sick Children and so on). Also, they have been responsible, along with others, for things like OHIP, workmen’s compensation, workplace safety programs, hazardous materials identification standards and minimum wage increases, to name a few. Their efforts have benefited pretty well everyone and all they are asking for is some of that back so they can live out their retire- ment in a relatively-secure lifestyle. Autoworkers unions (since this is ultimate- ly about all unions) aren’t perfect, but they are not to blame for the mess the industry is in and causing more poverty among pen- sioners will not solve the problem. Ron Suddard Courtice It’s all about making choices in life To the editor: Re: No sympathy here for auto workers, San- dra Allen letter, April 30. I understand your frustration -- I am 64 too -- but as an autoworker retiring soon, I did not create this mess. When I came to Canada many years ago, I made a choice. At home, I was an accounting supervisor and I decided to work for Chrys- ler and then GM. It was very difficult, but it was the choice of earning a good living and, at the same time, protecting myself, my wife and two sons. When you and your 70-year- old husband were working, and you were in this great country, you had options. You did not exercise all of the options available. I am not looking for your sympathy, and due to your age, I will refrain from using the same language for which I and others have been attacked and offended. I wish you and your husband a long and happy life. John Bonifacio Oshawa Not fair to criticize those who have pensions To the editor: Re: No sympathy here for auto workers, San- dra Allen letter, April 30. The government and GM screwed up. They should have left well enough alone. Now, because of their actions, or inaction as in this case, they must shoulder the responsibility. If that means beefing up the Pension Guar- antee Fund, then so be it. I’m also dismayed with the attitude of people like Sandra Allen. It’s unfortunate you don’t have a benefit plan. Slagging those who do seems petty and mean-spirited. Robert Page Clarington Tougher drunk driving rules right for the road If you ever wondered whether you could have just one more for the road, wonder no more. You can’t. New, tougher rules covering drinking and driving have just come into law in Ontario as of May 1. Instead of a 12-hour licence suspension should you blow between .05 and .08 in a roadside stop, you’ll now face an auto- matic three-day licence suspension for a first offence. And the ante only goes up from there. A second offence results in a seven-day suspension, a third offence, a 30-day suspension. And those second and third offenc- es also require the driver to undergo a remedial alcohol treatment program. In addition, those convicted for a third time are required to have an alcohol ignition interlock device on their automobiles for at least six months. Of course, these new stricter conditions are added on to the mandatory one-year licence suspen- sions that hit all drivers who blow over .08 and are convicted on a first offence. The new rules are just a way to further put the message out there that drinking and driving simply do not mix. It’s a message that has been pushed relentlessly year in and year out with force by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD, understandably, welcomes the new, tougher legislation but questions if three days is going to be the required deterrent needed to keep people from drinking and driving. “We don’t know if it’s enough of a deter- rent, but it’s definitely better than a 12- hour suspension,” said Melissa Long- worth, president of the Durham MADD chapter. Andrew Murie, MADD Canada’s chief executive officer, also suggests stronger suspensions, but feels the three-day min- imum is, “a start in the right direction.” With the May long weekend just around the corner, followed by summer holidays and trips to the cottage, parties and other get-togethers, the tougher legislation couldn’t be more timely. The history of drunk-driving legisla- tion is that it always becomes more strin- gent over time as fatalities increase and the problem worsens. It’s the only way, along with education programs and enforcement through RIDE, to deal with the problem. So, if drivers don’t get the message, it won’t be long before a first offence will result in a seven-day sus- pension. For the safety of all who travel our roads, let’s hope the new legislation makes it clear. You can’t drink and drive. 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 WE THINK... e-mail responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.com7 AP COMMUNITY News Advertiser • May 6, 2009 Invitation from Parkwood to have mementos appraised turns up interesting items BY INGRID SARAVIA ISaravia@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The appraiser’s eyes were big with excitement when he saw the framed picture that David Schoon took out of a gro- cery bag. “This is by far the best piece we’ll get today,” said Barry Carmichael, of Hampton’s Antiques and Appraisals, tak- ing a closer peek at the framed picture. Mr. Schoon was among those who recently took items to Parkwood Estate for its first GM artifact appraisal. Park- wood staff conducted the appraisal as part of an oral history proj- ect, highlighting the McLaughlin family and their GM heritage as a vital part of Oshawa’s history. Mr. Schoon’s post- er is about the size of two computer screens. The illustration was an advertisement for Sam McLaughlin’s company before he was involved with GM, depicting a family travel- ling in a carriage. Mr. Carmichael believes the coloured picture was done in 1903, in the transition era between the buggy and car. Along with the picture, Mr. Schoon also took a ribbon from a 1908 GM employees’ excursion to Peterborough. The picture, in its original frame, could be auctioned off for $2,000 to $3,000, said Mr. Carmichael. The ribbon alone could fetch $700 to $800. Mr. Schoon inherited the items from his father, who worked at GM and was an avid GM collector. When he died, his collection was divided between his three sons. To complete the his- tory project, Parkwood staff is also looking for GM employees who had direct contact with Sam McLaughlin, who died in 1972. Parkwood is interested in the story behind a por- trait of Mr. McLaughlin that was taken in by Bob Hopley. The portrait was painted by Mr. Hopley’s father-in-law, Ferdinand Brandauer, 84, for Cana- da’s centennial in 1967. In 1962, Mr. Brandauer was out of work so he went down to Mr. McLaugh- lin’s office at the old north plant and asked him for a job. “A couple weeks later he was hired as a painter and worked there for 23 years,” Mr. Hopley said. Mr. Brandauer did not attend the appraisal on April 25, but Parkwood staff want to get in touch with him. He was featured in 1980 in a publication about talented GM workers. Other interesting objects included a note from 1920 on official GM letter- head addressed to Alfred Farncomb, Mr. MacLaughlin’s doctor, thanking him for his gift of asparagus. There was also a lubrica- tion guide for a First World War vehicle that was found in someone’s garbage and could be auctioned off for $200. People in the community were invited to take GM artifacts to Parkwood through a story in Oshawa This Week. “We had such an overwhelming support from the community, we are probably going to do another session like this soon. The (story) came out in the paper on Wednes- day, and by Thursday at noon we were all booked up,” Cheryl Green, project manager said.

As part of this IEA, an Odour Control Strategy was developed, which included construction of an Odour Control Facility (OCF) at Altona Road. In response to Durham Council’s resolution from March 11, 2009 to relocate the OCF, York Region is engaging and consulting further with Durham residents that live within the project study area on measures to minimize odour along the proposed alignment of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer. At the upcoming Public Information Forum, York Region will be presenting information on the assessment of alternative OCF sites, the identifi cation of recommended sites, and additional mitigation measures proposed for the recommended sites. Your participation is an important part of the process and we welcome your input. York Region is committed to listening to and addressing residents’ concerns and fi nding an odour management solution that balances measures to protect the natural environment with the needs of the community. We encourage you to attend the PIF to review the material available and provide any comment or information that you have with regard to the project.

Ajax man never lost hope BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The tale of the missing chihuahua ended hap- pily for an Ajax man, who never gave up hope he’d recover his missing dog. On Sunday March 1, Ajax resident Dan Krisko was on his way home after dropping his daughter off in Dun- das when he stopped at a Wendy’s outside Hamilton, near Flamborough. He dashed inside, leaving his tea- cup chihuahua Moses in his Chevy Blazer. Mr. Krisko said Moses has a habit of trying to escape, so he dou- ble checked to make sure the dog was in the car. When he returned, the car looked fine, but something wasn’t right. “I unlocked the door, opened the door and he was nowhere to be found,” said Mr. Krisko. He also noticed the ashtray was on the SUV’s floor. The next day, he would notice the car’s lock had been punched in, but right then, his focus was on finding Moses. “I called the police, they took a report from me. I looked around everywhere for him, couldn’t find him.” Despite the lack of luck, Mr. Krisko wasn’t giving up his search. “I e-mailed all kinds of radio stations, newspa- pers,” he said. “I actually went out there on the Mon- day and handed out flyers to the businesses in the area, basically that’s what I did for the next two weeks.” With help from friends and family, Mr. Krisko scoured the area, searching in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Brantford and beyond. The local radio stations would regularly update listeners on the search for Moses. He caught a break in mid-April when a man called to say he and his daughter had found a chihuahua wan- dering the streets in Hamilton. “They were looking for the owner and I guess they came across my ad on (web- site) Kijiji,” said Mr. Krisko. The Ajax man described his missing dog --down to the white tip on his tail-- and e- mailed pictures. It was a match. Mr. Krisko was soon reunited with Moses. But then the story took a strange twist. A woman called Mr. Krisko asking if he’d found his chihuahua. It turns out she had a missing chihuahua as well, one she had recently purchased near Hamilton for $300. Her description matched Moses as well. Regardless of the odd story from the woman, Mr. Kris- ko now has Moses back in Ajax and the chihuahua’s life is getting back to normal.

DURHAM’S INSURANCE EXPERTS Call 905 427-5888 1920 Bayly St., Pickering about Operation Clean Sweep through Mr. Amantea. Ms. Wyne’s been wanting to volun- teer locally since moving to Pickering in Sep- tember and signed up right away. “I think it’s important because we’re giv- ing back to the community,” said Ms. Wyne. “As people get older, it’s harder to do simple things. We really don’t want them to go out and do it if it’s going to hurt them. We’re able and more than willing to help out.” Before she’d even finished work on the first home, Ms. Wyne was saying she hopes Oper- ation Clean Sweep becomes a yearly event to help local seniors. “They appreciate it so much and it’s so little -- it’s just one morning.” Boston Pizza donated lunch for the volun- teers while OPG donated tools.

A GC (MS) It is often said that it’s difﬁ - cult to measure the immense love a mother has for her children. Until a woman becomes a mother herself, it’s challenging to convey just how the heart expands in order to comfort and love the child that she helped create. With all that Mom does day in, day out and week after week, it seems that only one day dedicated to thank- ing her for all the tears she’s dried, smiles she’s shared, and snifﬂ es she’s sat through just isn’t enough. Still, that’s what families across the country do once a year in May. Just because Mother’s Day comes and goes rather quickly, the gifts and gestures offered to Mom can last much longer. Why not try some of these ideas? Help others in need: Explain to Mom how her help throughout the years has inspired you to help oth- ers less fortunate. Give her a token of your thanks, but say that you’re also donating time or money in her name for mothers who aren’t as lucky as she. Perhaps there’s a bat- tered women’s shelter or a teenage pregnancy support center. Maybe there are mothers who are home- less. There may even be someone right in your neighborhood who can use a helping hand. Memory jar: Create a memory jar that’s ﬁ lled with memories that you’ve had with your mother, such as the time she dressed up with you for Hallow- een; when you gave her the chicken pox; when she would ‘free’ you from your room after punishments. Write these recollections on slips of paper and place them into the jar or other container. You can decorate the jar and print the sentiments on decora- tive card stock, depending upon how elaborate you want to make it. Mom can pull out a slip of paper every day and be treated to wonderful memo- ries. Video commentary: Take out the video camera and interview children in the family of all ages. Ask them what they love and cherish most about their mother. The video can include tips of advice, passed-down recipes and other family traditions. Watch the video on Mother’s Day as a family. Or Mom can pop it in any- time she needs a pick-me-up. Photo scrapbook: Gather loose pictures that you’ve taken through the years. Compile a scrapbook al- bum of your favorite moments. Don’t forget new moms: Send ﬂ owers or a gift to a new mother in the family. It’ll mean a considerable amount to her, even if you aren’t her child. Crafts for young kids: Handcrafted gifts are par for the course with young children. A clever idea is for Dad or an older sibling to help a young child trace his or her hands on a piece of construction paper. Cut out the hands and poke a hole in each paper hand. Attach a long length of string to each hand, representing the out- stretched arms of the child. Enclose the hands with a note indicating that these hands show that: ‘I Love You This Much, Mom.’ There are many other ideas for telling Mom how special she is. Nat- urally, store-bought gifts, child-made breakfast or dinner, a meal out at a restaurant, or even a mother-child day planned are wonderful sugges- tions. A day out with Mom is one way to celebrate how much she means to you. treat Momtreat Mom for her special day MOTHER’S DAY MAY 2009 Advertising Feature newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 200914 AP 1900 Dixie Rd.1900 Dixie Rd.

Ev- ery day they sacriﬁ ce their time and devote their love to the children they brought into the world. What mother doesn’t hope to be celebrated and pampered, if just for a bit, by her children in recogni- tion for all that she had done for them? That is why every year on the second Sunday of May children pay hommage to their moms on Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day hasn’t always been a standard spring holiday. In fact, mothers went ofﬁ cially uncel- ebrated for years and years. It wasn’t until the 20th century that an ofﬁ cial holiday was established to honor mothers, grandmothers and the other special women in people’s lives. Anna Jarvis was a woman who made great strides toward establishing a national holiday for moth- ers. Jarvis held annual gatherings called “Mother’s Friendship Day” with an objective to heal the pain of the victims and those affected by the Civil War. After her own mother died in 1905, Jarvis decided a national celebration of mothers was in order, and began to campaign for such a holiday. Jarvis began by soliciting the pastor at the church where her mother had taught Sunday School class- es for a special commemorative mass. The church obliged, and the ﬁ rst Mother’s Day celebration took place on May 10, 1908 at Andrew’s Methodist Church. Later that day, Jarvis celebrated Mother’s Day again with her brother at her home in Philadelphia. The Mother’s Day idea eventually caught on, and President Woodrow Wilson made it ofﬁ cial in 1914 that the second Sunday in May would be celebrated as Mother’s Day annually. Since then families have gathered annually to- gether to give thanks to the special women who have helped shape their lives.

The students, all members of gay- straight alliance groups in Durham sec- ondary schools, gathered at the Durham District School Board headquarters in Whitby for a regional event to support ending homophobia. Along with workshops, the day featured an afternoon coffeehouse of poems, songs, and plays for raising awareness held in the school board’s boardroom and organized by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation District 13. With the lights dimmed, Nicole Clark, a Grade 12 student at Ajax High School, participated in a social courtroom drama written by her teacher, in which she played the defendant, Skyy. When asked her name, Nicole’s char- acter replied with some of the labels people call her. “Dike, faggot, lesbo, queer,” she said angrily and full of emotion to the pros- ecutors around her. “Just call me defen- dant because I’m always defending myself ... when you have a label, your name doesn’t mat- ter.” As she stood in the middle of the courtroom of three prosecutors (her peers and bullies) and the judge (her principal,) she pled her case: acceptance. A court officer in the play felt the same but was afraid to come out, she said. “I know the look you give me, do you know what a look can do to me?” she screamed. She used to love going to school but now, it’s like having her finger- nails ripped off, she said. In the read- ing, she played a lesbian girl who was ridiculed for her sexual orien- tation. The play is based on a girl named Beth but she changed it to Skyy, her transgender friend. “I know a lot of people faced with the ridicule of coming to school and being faced with bullies,” said Nicole following her performance. She has friends and family who are gay and couldn’t imagine being treated the way they are. Something needs to be done about it, she added. Dillon Gillespie has an openly bisexual friend who is threatened for it, he said. Dillon, also an Ajax High School student, gets teased for being a homosexual just for being a member of the gay/straight alliance, even though he’s straight, he said. For his coffee-house performance, Dillon sang Chasing Pavements, a song banned in some states for being per- ceived as a gay anthem, he said. “I think (homophobia) is an issue,” he said. People don’t realize 10 to 15 per cent of the population is gay so they’re going to have at least one friend who is, he added. Jessica Oakes, a Grade 9 Henry Street High School student in Whitby, read her poem, Still be loved, while sporting a rainbow-painted face It was about not wanting to be forgot- ten after death, and that while someone seems angry, it could be fear they’re por- traying. “I think basically people need to change in general and be more accept- ing,” Jessica said.

Faded Blue to donate some green toward new animal shelter DURHAM -- A Halifax band with roots in Oshawa wants to help raise funds for a new Humane Society shelter. Rock band Faded Blue will be offer- ing its CDs and merchandise for sale at pet stores, pet grooming salons and vet clinics throughout Oshawa, with a por- tion of proceeds going towards the Dur- ham Region Humane Society’s efforts to build a new shelter in Whitby. The idea came about after bassist Mark Clazie, who was born and raised in Oshawa, learned the Durham Humane Society’s former building in Oshawa burned to the ground in December 2008. The band also donated a portion of proceeds from its recent show at Maple- fest in Bowmanville, to the Bowmanville Zoo. For more information, visit www.fad- edblue.ca.

And the funds are going to be used to improve Durham Region Transit. During recent budget delibera- tions, the Region had estimated it would receive about $7.18 million in gas tax revenue. The Province hadn’t released information on how much gas tax revenue would be given to munici- palities, so Durham officials esti- mated how much it would get, based on previous amounts. Durham, however, received almost $7.5 million, Regional coun- cil’s finance committee was told Wednesday. Since 2004, the Province has been handing out a portion of the gas tax revenues it collects to municipali- ties and the money has to be used on public transit. The amount each municipality receives is based on a combination of ridership and population. Under provincial rules, the $304,000 has to be used on ways to increase transit ridership, major bus refurbishments or ways to improve transit security and passenger safe- ty. REGION Gas tax cash pumped into Durham DURHAM -- Durham Region Transit will get a boost from extra gas tax money. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 200918 AP ‘It’s not a lot, but we’ll take it’ DURHAM -- The Region is plugging into money to help recycle electronic waste. Durham is going to receive $165 per tonne for electronic waste, through an initiative offered by the provincial gov- ernment. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip- ment (WEEE) recycling program is being funded through the Ontario Elec- tronic Stewardship. The provincial WEEE program has two phases, and the first phase actually began on April 1, according to a report to the Regional works committee on Wednesday. The second phase will start in about a year. Works commissioner Cliff Curtis said the provincial funding is welcome. “We don’t process a lot of electron- ic waste, about 300 tonnes,” Mr. Curtis said. “It’s not a lot (of money), but we’ll take it.” Items that can be collected under the first phase are computers (both desk- top and laptops), computer peripher- als, such as CD-ROM drives, keyboards, mice, monitors, printers, fax machines and TVs. Under the program, the three regional transfer stations will be used as drop-off locations for items. Transfer stations are in Oshawa, Port Perry and Brock Town- ship. Durham has been collecting some electronic waste for several years. Last year, Durham spent about $64,300, while receiving about $36,360 in tipping fees, for a total cost of $27,900. The report noted the Region could collect about $38,500 under the pro- gram. PUBLIC NOTICE The Regional Municipality of Durham Emergency Management Office 605 Rossland Rd.

Personal health coaches, from left, Sarah Smith, Kevyn Slater and Jessica Banks sort through some of the donations recently. DURHAM -- A high school envi- ronment club wants bottled water banned, but a student trustee says he wouldn’t drink from the school’s fountains. The Henry Street High School Environment Club sent the Dur- ham District School Board a letter asking it to permanently ban the sale of disposable bottled water from all its properties. “I would like to know how many bottles of water the Durham Dis- trict School Board purchases in one year,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau during the board’s April 20 meeting. “And for what purpose.” But her question isn’t easy to answer, according to staff. “It’s going to be a hard number to determine accurately,” said Mar- tyn Beckett, the board’s director of education. Water isn’t bought cen- trally, he said. “If we want a big-picture figure, I can give it to you very quickly: lots,” said Oshawa Trustee Larry Jacula, the board’s chairman. At Henry Street, water is sold in the school store, the cafeteria and in vending machines, said student trustee Ian Chislett, who is also a student there. Banning bottled water sales “would virtually cripple the student store,” which students use for their entrepreneur pro- gram. Reasons for the environment club’s request listed in the letter include: the school sells stainless steel water bottles; other jurisdic- tions have banned plastic water bottles; price and negative envi- ronmental impact; and high qual- ity water available in Whitby. “As much as you test the water, you can’t test what the students do to the fountains,” Ian said. “I’ve seen students spit in there ... I’m not going to put my mouth there.” Staff will send a response to the Henry Street High School letter. EDUCATION Bottled water debate spills into school board meeting newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 200920 AP Is there a Tax Deduction in your Driveway? A few months ago, when Dale Willard realized it was time to dispose of his car, he decided to follow the example of his brother and donate it to the Kidney Foundation. “It made sense to have the car go to a good cause as opposed to turning it in and getting nothing,” says the president of Willard Meats International. So, in January, he took the plunge and dialed 1-866-788-2277. “It was really easy,” he says. After calling the Kidney Car line, all he needed to do was sign a slip and set a time for collection. Doug McCallum was equally impressed with the professionalism of the Foundation’s staff and towing service when he donated his 1987 Toyota 4Runner. “They were very cooperative and tried to make everything work for me,” says the Kincardine resident, who had wanted keep the 4Runner’s tires, which were new. The towing company removed them on the spot. Sold for parts, the vehicle earned the Foundation $100 - and a charitable tax receipt for McCallum for the same amount. “Every car makes a huge difference,” says Denise Lambert, Kidney Car Program Manager. Cars, trucks, vans, trailers and SUVs are accepted, running or not. They are sold through auction or private sales. The Foundation issues a charitable receipt for a minimum of $100 or the bid value of the vehicle. With its partners’ support the Foundation strives to collect donations within 48 hours. Since it was established 15 years ago, the program has grown to average 400 vehicles a month in donations. Proceeds stay in Ontario and fund everything from education programs, support services, patient services and organ donation to medical research.

A poll by EKOS for the Office of the Privacy Com- missioner of Canada found 87 per cent of Canadians are concerned that businesses might choose to spend less to protect customers’ per- sonal information during a time of economic uncertain- ty. The poll also found many people are failing to take basic steps to protect them- selves against identity theft. For example: 50 % • of Canadians surveyed carry sensitive documents such as social insurance number cards and birth certificates in their wal- lets or purses 18 % • of Canadians have ordered a copy of their credit report to verify its accuracy 30 % • use passwords to protect infor- mation on portable digital devices Note: “Canadian privacy laws require businesses to prop- erly secure the personal information in their care - even during tough economic times,” says privacy commis- sioner of Canada Jennifer Stoddart. “We are encour- aged by the fact that many businesses have expressed to us their commitment to privacy, which they view as a competitive advantage.” TRENDset Moods improve with positive words on products: company owner BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Good news: money can buy hap- piness. Well maybe not, but Alison Prentice and Jocelyn Hewett are hoping their products will give customers a sunny outlook every time they use them. The duo sells protein drink mix and cloth- ing. Not novel products on their own, but the added ingredient in their wares is what makes them special. The protein powder and T-shirts are laden with intentions -- powerful words Ms. Prentice said will improve the energy of consumers. “It’s all about energy,” Ms. Prentice said. The company is called Creo Mundi, which is Latin for create your universe, Ms. Prentice said. The home-based business is run out of Oshawa. The partners believe in the power of words to galvanize change, so on the underside of each T-shirt and on the labels of the drink mix are words like gratitude, compassion, love and peace. And the words appear on the products in the 15 most commonly spoken languages in the world. Wear the shirt one way and it looks no dif- ferent than a regular tee. But wear it inside out and hundreds of inspiring words are visible. There is also a special ceremony of sorts said over top of samples of the protein drink from each run of the product to infuse it with good intentions. The women of Creo Mundi were inspired in part by research showing that words written on containers of water can change the struc- ture of the liquid for good or bad, depend- ing on whether the words are positive or negative. Because the human body is more than 70 per cent water, Ms. Prentice and Ms. Hewett believe the shirts with inspiring words can have a positive effect on those who wear them. Feedback from clients has been very posi- tive, Ms. Prentice said. A quick look at their website has a testimonial from someone who used to have nightmares who now wears the shirts at night and no longer has bad dreams. A real estate agent wore a Creo Mundi golf shirt and used the power of positive thinking to land a huge sale. A photographer landed a huge job while wearing a T-shirt bearing the positive words. Ms. Prentice, a trained nurse, and Ms. Hewett, a family therapist, know from their training and experience the power words real- ly have, Ms. Prentice said. “This is what I preach,” Ms. Hewett said of the power of words. Their idea of positive words transforming moods is so unique in business that the com- pany has garnered international attention, being featured on radio shows and even in Time magazine. But besides the distinctive idea behind the business, the products themselves stand up on their own, so skeptics of the theory can still enjoy a high-calibre piece of clothing, Ms. Prentice said. “Whether you believe in intentions or not, you are getting a high-quality product,” she said. The shirts are made from bamboo, a sus- tainable, superior fabric, and the drink is the purest form of whey protein you can get, Ms. Prentice said. The drink mix is lactose free, infused with green tea and has a natural sweetener in it. And it’s good for everyone, not only for those looking to bulk up, she said. “It’s not just for the bodybuilders; everyone should be having this.” She would know; she’s been drinking the mix with orange juice every morning for breakfast. “It helps stabilize blood sugars and I am never hungry before lunch,” she said.

The Ontario Hockey League held its annu- al Priority Selection, with 14 Durham Region kids selected, led by seven from the Ajax- Pickering Raiders, six Whitby Wildcats and a Clarington Toro. Ajax-Pickering’s Jake Bannister, a 5-foot- 10 right-winger, was the first of seven Raid- ers and first local selected when the Peter- borough Petes tabbed him with the fifth pick of the sixth round, and it wasn’t long before the Petes dipped back into the Ajax-Pickering well, selecting another Raiders forward in Khalid Alli in the eighth round. The Petes went to Whitby for another of their picks, selecting goalie Keinan Brown in the 12th round. Four picks after Bannister found an OHL home, Brendan Sims, of Whitby, did too, as the 6-foot-3 190-pound forward was scooped up by the Owen Sound Attack. A pair of Whitby players were picked up in the seventh round with forward Jarett Smith selected by the Kingston Frontenacs with the second pick of the round and teammate Quincy McIvor tabbed by the Barrie Colts six picks later. The Sudbury Wolves and Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds looked to these parts in the eighth round, with the Wolves picking up Ajax-Pick- ering’s Brennan Serville with the fifth pick of the round, while the Hounds grabbed Clar- ington’s Brian Bunnett later in the round. After grabbing McIvor in the seventh, Barrie looked to Ajax-Pickering in the ninth round and drafted defenceman James Doering, while Belleville picked up Raiders forward Steven Deeg in the 10th and defenceman Ryan Logan in the 14th. In the 11th round, the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors grabbed Raiders goal Con- nor Wilkenson, while Whitby defencemen Andrew Medico and Connor Hale went in the 12th and 13th rounds to Kingston and Sault Ste. Marie, respectively. These names were provided by the Ontario Hockey League, and are categorized based on the players’ hockey organization. The possibility exists that players playing outside of local boundaries may been missed for this story. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 200925 AP ANNANDALEANNANDALE Call 905-683-3210For membership information DON’T GIVE UP GOLF - JUST HIGH PRICES Probably the most member friendly club in Ontario.
