About 100 seniors showed up to hear the minister speak at Hebron Christian Reform Church Tuesday. Mr. Flaherty was in town for the Annual Seniors’ Forum, which invites local seniors to learn about community resources available to them. But, for the most part, these seniors wanted to talk pensions. The participants were the “chosen few” who were able to attend the forum, Mr. Flaherty said at the beginning of the event. Organizers could have filled two rooms with the people who wanted to come, he said.

There, it was too dangerous to go to school, she said, standing before a room of people from around the globe. Marsal, a Grade 8 student at West Lynde Public School in Whitby, was one of 81 authors featured in Journeys, a book of true stories about coming to Canada, put out by the Durham District School Board. “What struck me over and over in the students’ stories is the sense of optimism,” said Martyn Beckett, Durham District School Board’s director of education. “I was truly touched by what I was reading.” Marsal’s family came to Cana- da after the Taliban broke into her home, took her father and tried to take her brother. Her moth- er moved them to Pakistan while awaiting approval for Canada. Once here, she lived in Ajax for a year before moving to Whitby. In Canada, it’s safe to go to school, she said. “No one can take you away because there are people there to protect you,” Marsal said. Marsal was one of seven students who read her tale during a celebra- tion of the book’s release May 5. Fibi Assad still misses Egypt. The Grade 12 student at Sinclair Sec- ondary School came to Canada after losing her parents to cancer. Her story, Facing Trouble tells of the challenges she had to deal with in coming to Canada, the struggles with studies and some people at school and the homesickness still deep in her heart. “It was totally different from back home,” Fibi said of her arrival in Canada. “There were snow and long streets ... we were crying so hard.” Many people from Egypt wish they might go to Canada, and she thanks God for giving her so many great things, she said. Andrei Sorescu, originally from Romania, also misses his country but is happy with his new life. The Grade 3 Hillsdale Public School played a video of his story reading. His family came to Canada after his aunt called and said there was a good job waiting if his mother wanted to move here. His dad con- vinced her to take it, he said. “Goodbye to everything I knew,” Andrei said. When he arrived, there were so many cars and the highways were so big, he said. “My eyes are so open looking at all the strange people,” Andrei said. He didn’t speak English at first, but is getting better. He wants to visit Romania next year to tell his friends about Canada. Ajax High School student Tenzin Doedon is from India, but his real country is actually Tibet, said the Grade 11 student. His family went to India in the late 1950s when Tibet was captured by China, he added. “I have never seen my father in my whole life,” said the Grade 11 student. “I don’t know where he is.” As refugees, they didn’t make a lot of money. His family decided his mother would go to Canada to work and help them, while Tenzin stayed with them. When he was in Grade 7, it was time for him to join his mother, “I felt so happy when I first saw my mom,” he said. He was also happy about all the cars here, and he hopes to become a mechanic. “In Canada, if you think you can do it, you can do whatever you want,” Tenzin said. Grade 5 student Sadaf Morad, of Bayview Heights Public School, came to Canada from Afghani- stan. “My uncle took us to his house in Pickering, Ontario,” Sadaf said. They lived with him until their dad found them their own apart- ment, Sadaf said. “In future, I want to be a law- yer,” Sadaf added. “When I make money, I would like to visit my family in Afghanistan and visit other places in the world.” The Journeys book project began in October 2008. Newcomers in the board were invited to participate. Copies of the book have been sent to all Durham District School Board schools and to Durham Region public libraries.

That means Pickering resi- dents with an aver- age home valued at $289,400 will pay $4,030, an increase of $68.48 over last year. The proposed net operating budget is $42 million and the capital budget, $28.6 million. The capital budget increased by nearly $10 million from the time it was originally printed due to government grant possibilities. “Every department really looked at every expenditure with a microscope,” Mr. Pater- son said. Mayor Dave Ryan was pleased to see Pickering is still the municipality with the lowest property tax increase of Dur- ham’s five lakeshore municipalities. Of a municipality’s portion of the property tax bill, which is 27 per cent (the Region and the school boards make up the rest), Pickering actually has the lowest increase. For example, Pickering residents will only pay $1,092 on the City’s portion, compared to $1,125 in Ajax and $2,145 in Oshawa. “I think this is a responsible budget. It has shown restraint while addressing spe- cific opportunities and needs within the broader community,” Mayor Ryan said. Road improvements will be made to Sideline 4 ($870,000) and Brock Road from Third Concession Road to Dellbrook Ave- nue ($399,000), but they were initiated in previous years. For a future pedestri- an bridge crossing Hwy. 401, $10 million has been set aside, and Whitevale bridge repairs will cost $800,000. Staff hopes to receive federal and provincial funding for the projects. But, new road projects will have to wait until the global economy improves. For the most part, council agreed, saying now is not the time to start new projects since that would result in property tax increases. But two councillors thought road infrastruc- ture is necessary. Ward 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson wanted $120,000 to go toward improving Sideline 14 and $130,000 for William Street improvements in Claremont, and Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Doug Dick- erson tried to add $80,000 for improvements to Gablehurst Cres- cent. Neither coun- cillor received the support needed to add those projects. Staff has already begun planning for the 2010 budget and anticipates having it ready for next February. “We’re hoping by 2011 it will start to drop off and get down to reasonable levels,” Mr. Paterson said. The budget went before council last night, Tuesday, May 19, for final approv- al.

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS IN PICKERING Damages, losses total $20,000 BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering car dealership owner is offering a reward for information leading to the conviction of suspects who damaged cars on his lot early Monday. Pickering Volkswagen owner John Verw- ey said three men racked up an estimated $20,000 in combined damage and stolen property during the incident. They broke into 11 cars and stole a variety of parts from vehicle interiors. “It’s almost as if they had a shopping list” of parts, Mr. Verwey said. “They knew the technique in stealing things from these cars is not to pop the driver’s door, so they broke windows.” Some of the damage, including a number of mirrors that were broken from cars, was simply gratuitous, Mr. Verwey said. The men entered the rear lot of the dealer- ship, on Kingston Road at Rosebank Road, shortly after 2 a.m. and spent up to two hours breaking into cars and stealing parts. Affected vehicles included a Jetta dropped off by a customer for service, Mr. Verwey said. Security camera clips show the suspects scurrying around the lot, targeting various vehicles. Mr. Verwey has contacted Durham police but is also hoping an appeal to the public will help bring the bandits to justice. He’s offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.

The version of events given by Troy Johnson-Lee about the killing of a man outside an Ajax nightclub more than two years ago is contradicted by numer- ous eyewitnesses, Crown counsel Cindy Johnston said in her final submissions to the jury last Friday. “How can his evidence be accepted when it’s contradicted by everything else in this case?” Ms. Johnston asked Friday morning in Superior Court in Whitby. Mr. Johnson-Lee, 24, of Scarborough, has pleaded not guilty to the second- degree murder of Orin Felix, 19, and the attempted murder of another victim. Both young men were stabbed when violence erupted outside the now- defunct RimRock nightclub on Harwood Avenue in the early-morning hours of Sept. 1, 2006. A number of witnesses have described seeing a man resembling Mr. Johnson- Lee fighting inside the club earlier in the evening, and wielding a knife outside the RimRock after last call. Witnesses have said they saw him stab both men. “This, ladies and gentlemen, could only be Troy Johnson-Lee,” Ms. Johnston said. Mr. Johnson-Lee took the stand in his own defence and denied stabbing either man; he said it was another person who fatally stabbed Mr. Felix after the young man was swarmed and beaten. Mr. Johnson-Lee said Mr. Felix’s blood got onto the jeans he wore that night when he joined a group that kicked and punched the victim. Ms. Johnston called the defendant’s version of events “absurd”. Final submissions from lawyers come as the trial, which began in early March, nears completion. Yesterday, Tuesday, May 19, presiding Justice Bruce Glass was to have delivered his charge to the jury, after which the panel will be sequestered until it reaches a verdict.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions AUTO SECTOR Don’t bail out near-bankrupt GM To the editor: So our elected representatives continue to mull over whether or not to sink billions of taxpayers’ dollars into General Motors. If the bailout was to prevent the company plunging into chapter 11 bankruptcy, that might make sense. If the funds were invested after bankrupt- cy to assist the resurrection of the compa- ny, that might make sense. To invest massive tax funds into a com- pany that itself has stated it is inevitably headed for bankruptcy seems irrespon- sible as that “loan” will never get repaid under a chapter 11 ruling. This week, it was reported the funds loaned to Chrysler have been lost due to its filing for bankruptcy protection. So where might the funds go that are loaned to GM when they similarly declare bankruptcy protection? In the U.S., the former CEO walked away with $23 million. Don’t be surprised if our tax funds do nothing but grease the exits from the exec- utive offices at Colonel Sam Drive. Mark Denby Put yourself in the place of GM pensioners To the editor: Imagine yourself in the shoes of a GM pensioner. You are fortunate enough to find a job that offers a pension, work for 30 years and when you start your retirement, you expect to receive the pension. To find out that you might not would upset you. Our government is there to pro- tect workers via the Pension Benefit Guar- antee Fund. The fund is a requirement of all companies offering a pension plan. Companies pay premiums to the fund. Should the company cease to exist, this plan ensures that the pension will be there for the workers. GM was required to pay its share of premiums for approximately 30 years. The fact is the government allowed GM to opt out of contributing in the early 1990s. The blame should be on the govern- ment that allowed this to happen. The gov- ernment is responsible, and it should have to protect the pensioners and make up for its mistake.It was taxpayers who voted the government into power and it was that gov- ernment that caused this. So I say to every- one to put yourself in the GM pension- ers’ shoes and ask yourself if you would request/demand the government protect you. I know I would. Heather Clarke Government liable for pension woes To the editor: Re: ‘Not fair to expect non-GM workers to bail out GM workers’, Doug Middleton, May 8 Once again we have a person who obvi- ously has no idea what the issue is. It has nothing to do with who has or doesn’t have a company-sponsored pension, how many toys GM employees had, how much they made or how many trips they took. The only issue here is that your provincial government betrayed all the GM employ- ees/retirees when they allowed GM to opt out of the mandated funding of the pen- sion plans. If our provincial government hadn’t allowed GM to do this, our pensions would be funded to the proper level. Once our government made this deal with GM, they became liable for the outcome. It’s as simple as that. The government is complicit in perpetrat- ing this fraud upon us as we were always told that this pension would be there after working 30-40 years. As in all frauds, all parties are jointly and separately liable. If one can’t pay, the other has to cover it. Pat Drumm Better days ahead for GM with all-purpose flex plant While it was no doubt a sad day for General Motors with the closing of the truck plant, surely better days are ahead. That’s the message from GM Canada spokesman Stew Low. He provided a silver lining amid the gloom surrounding the end of nine decades of truck production by the com- pany in this country. It would be natural for Mr. Low to look for a bright side since times have been so tough for GM of late. As of press time, the company and Canadian Auto Workers negotiators are locked in a death struggle to massively cut costs at the behest of both the federal and provincial governments. They continue to talk so GM can get the money needed to avoid bankruptcy and maintain operations. It’s the lowest point the company has reached in its long history. And yet, in spite of it all, there is still hope. The flex plant is the key to the future for GM Canada. It is the one remaining Durham lynch- pin in an autoplex that once boasted three distinct plants: two car and one truck. GM has made a commitment to bring three new cars into the flex plant by 2013. These models will be geared to market demand. As Mr. Low says, the vehicles will likely be the smaller and mid-size automobiles people want. Fuel-efficiency will be an essential ingredient and, judging by the models on display at the Canadian Internation- al Auto Show in Toronto in February, expect to see plenty of hybrids and green technology at the forefront of whatever GM produces here. Right now, demand for the brand new Camaro is very strong and GM can’t keep up with the number of people who want one. That’s a nice problem to have, the kind of issue GM wants to deal with. Hopefully, the Camaro will stay hot for years to come and will be a big winner for the company in its category. It will keep the line humming and the plant busy while new models come on stream. Mr. Low assures GM will keep its Cana- dian headquarters open for business on Colonel Sam Drive, and that the compa- ny, while smaller, will remain a presence in Canada. Now, if the CAW and GM could just hammer out a deal and get that federal and provincial loan money flowing. 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 • May 20, 20096 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Citizens of our country find out they’re not naturalized after all BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Jackie Scott, the daughter of a Canadian soldier and a British war bride, moved to Ajax at a young age. “My first memory is that of a four-year-old learning to tie my shoes in Ajax, Ontario,” she said in an e-mail. “All my childhood and early adulthood memories, sense of belonging, pride of country are Canadian. They still are today. I still to this day sing the Canadian national anthem whenever I hear it.” But there’s something that Ms. Scott doesn’t have in common with most Canadians: she claims she is not recognized by the government as a Canadian citizen. Ms. Scott was born in England, but she and her mother, like many war brides and their children in 1947, thought they’d automatically become Canadian upon arriving in Canada. And until 2005, that was her belief. “I was educated here, worked here ... paid taxes here, still have a valid Social Insurance card, and I voted in federal elections. I had no reason to doubt my Canadian citi- zenship; in order to vote, one must be a Canadian citizen, right?” she said. Ms. Scott e-mailed the News Advertiser after reading about Doris Madder, a Pickering resi- dent who just found out she’s not a Canadian after living here for 62 years. She was a war bride and did not believe she had to actual- ly apply for citizenship under old laws. It wasn’t until Ms. Madder got her health card renewed that she found out she was not a Canadian citizen. Similarly, when Ms. Scott decid- ed to get a passport, she was told she wasn’t Canadian. “It was devastating getting a let- ter saying you are not Canadian,” she said. After wondering how this could be, she found out it was because she was born out of wedlock, she said. “They’re discriminating against me because of the situation of my birth,” she said. Ms. Scott moved to the United States in the 1970s but still held her Canadian values and customs close to her heart. “I have an American pass- port but I’m not connected there,” she said. “I am not an American. “If I had known my sit- uation, I would not have left Canada. I would have made sure my cit- izenship was in place before I left Canada.” Don Chapman is the founder of The Lost Canadians, a group dedicated to residents of Canada between 1947 and 1977 who unknowingly either lost their citizenship or never had it to begin with. In 1947, the first Citizenship Act was passed in Canada, which suddenly required people who immigrated to Canada to apply for Canadian citizenship. This also pertained to children of fathers who moved to the United States, even if they didn’t live with them at the time, and people who left the country for periods of time and missed the opportunity to apply. Last month, a bill was passed (Bill C-37) that made people caught up in the cross hairs official Cana- dian citizens. The Canadian gov- ernment even created a YouTube video called Waking Up Cana- dian (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eDeDQpIQFD0) to let Americans know they too may be Canadian and not even know it. Mr. Chapman has taken on Ms. Scott’s case. In fact, he, too was a lost Canadian until last month. His father took out citizenship in the United States when Don was young and therefore, he lost his citizenship too. “I find it so amazing it’s been ignored over the years,” he said. “I’ve been working and trying to get my citizenship since I was 18. I’m 54.” But not everyone received their citizenship. Ms. Scott still remains “lost”, she said. But despite that, she made the trip to Parliament Hill in Ottawa when the bill was passed in April. “I feel it’s wonderful for the peo- ple that are receiving their citizen- ship through this,” she said. “I feel that it’s a time to celebrate with them.” Nicolas Fortier, spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Can- ada, is not sure how many people gained their citizenship as a result of Bill C-37 because the ministry doesn’t know how many people became citizens on Jan. 1, 1947 when the first Canadian Citi- zenship Act came into force, and who then left Canada and subsequently lost their citi- zenship before Feb. 15, 1977 when the current Act came into force. Nor does the gov- ernment know how many were born or naturalized in Canada after Jan. 1, 1947 and then left Canada and subsequently lost their citi- zenship before Feb. 15, 1977 when the current Act came into force; or how many have been born outside Canada to a Canadian parent since 1947 in the first generation and have remained outside Canada. However, he said, migration trends prior to 1977 suggest most people who would obtain citizen- ship under the changes reside in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that approximately 240,000 Cana- dians (born or naturalized in Can- ada) were naturalized in the Unit- ed States between 1948 and 1977, he said. “Based on this information, it is estimated that approximately 240,000 persons who lost citizen- ship when they became U.S. citi- zens, and their first-generation children born outside Canada, may be eligible to obtain citizen- ship under the new legislation.” Mr. Chapman thinks the citizen- ship act is quite confusing and dis- criminatory against certain people, such as those in Ms. Scott’s situa- tion, and a new, fair one should be written up. “There are no plans to rewrite the law at this time,” Mr. Fortier said. Mr. Chapman said if the govern- ment does not grant Ms. Scott a special grant of citizenship, knows as 5(4), they’re going to ask for a judicial review, which cost the gov- ernment billions of dollars in the similar case of Joe Taylor, a citizen also born out of wedlock, when he had one done, he said. Mr. Fortier said 5(4) grants are granted under some circumstanc- es, such as alleviating cases of spe- cial and unusual hardship or to reward services of an exceptional value to Canada, but could not dis- cuss Ms. Scott’s case specifically.

He said the future looked rosy for Canada once it gets through this difficult economic time. When it looked like Mr. Flaherty was wrapping up, an audience member stood and asked if the minister would be taking ques- tions and listening to comments. Several retirees asked him about auto issues, including what the federal government planned to do to help salaried pensioners. Mr. Flaherty took time before the event to meet with represen- tatives from GENMO Salaried Pension Organization. President of GENMO Brian Rutherford said he was pleased with how the group’s hour-long meeting with the minister prior to the forum went. “Mr. Flaherty is cognizant of all the issues because he was an MPP and is now an MP,” he said. GENMO’s mission is to pro- tect pensions, benefits and other interests of Canadian General Motors’ salaried pension plan members. “From our perspective, we don’t want to be a burden on the tax- payer, we just want justice,” Mr. Rutherford said. Salaried retiree Bill Hamilton said he is very worried about the fate of his pension. “We’re enti- tled to the pension we get,” he said. Kurt Meyer, another salaried retiree, said the provincial gov- ernment had no business allow- ing GM to under-fund his pen- sion. Mr. Meyer did maintenance in GM plants for 31 years. Even though it wasn’t the federal gov- ernment that allowed GM to put less cash in the pension fund, he said he believes they are still responsible. “The buck stops at the top dog,” he said. The minister didn’t commit to protecting pension shortfalls, which is what Mr. Meyer said he wanted, but he got the response he was expecting, he said. He also expressed disap- pointment representatives from GENMO didn’t publicly ask Mr. Flaherty about the pension issue. “I’ve never heard anything from them except send us a cheque,” he said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 200912 AP FLAHERTY from page 1 Flaherty non-commital on protecting pension shortfalls newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 200913 AP AJ GROEN / METROLAND Dancing to her own beat AJAX -- Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School presented an evening entitled Canadian Mosaic to celebrate cultural diversity recently.

Manour Sokpor, 28, reported missing Friday PICKERING -- Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a Pickering man reported missing before the long week- end kicked off. According to Durham police, Manour Sokpor, 28, was reported missing on Fri- day by his fiancee. A search of Mr. Sokpor’s residence was conducted, which revealed several items of personal property, including the man’s vehicle, say police. Mr. Sokpor’s disappearance is con- sidered unusual and police and family members are appealing to the public to assist in locating him. He is described as black, about five feet nine inches tall with a muscular build and weighing 194 pounds. Mr. Sokpor has connections to several communities in Ontario, including Otta- wa, Toronto, Peel Region, York Region, Halton Region and Barrie, say police. On Tuesday, Durham police continued to urge members of the public to come forward if they’ve heard from him. “Officially, we have few leads and we continue to follow up on those we have,” said Sgt. Nancy van Rooy. “We have not located this gentleman and we’re con- cerned for his welfare.” Investigators from the Pickering detachment have interviewed numerous witnesses and the investigation is ongo- ing.

The vote reverses a January, 2008 decision in which Clarington’s four local councillors outvoted the three Regional members of council to declare the Municipality an unwilling host. Then, the local councillors cited concerns about the site selection process, lack of health studies and lack of information on technology, among other issues. But, after a closed-door meeting last Thursday with Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and other regional staff, local councillor Gord Robin- son voted along with his Regional counterparts Friday to reverse the Municipality’s unwilling host stance. At issue was the proposed Host Communi- ty Agreement, which Clarington staff had been authorized to negotiate with Regional staff. “If we sign a host community agreement, the unwilling host (status) was gone anyway,” Coun. Robinson said Tuesday. Clarington council was set to discuss the mat- ter May 11, after a report from CAO Franklin Wu indi- cated Clarington’s unwilling host sta- tus was one of the issues standing in the way of a host community agree- ment. But, a revised proposal late that day prompted Mr. Wu to issue an addendum to his report just before council was to meet. Among the changes: a proposal from the Region to pay Clarington $650,000 annually in payment in lieu of taxes, $10 per tonne for waste brought in from Toronto and start-up of the environmental assessment process to be required before any ser- vicing at the site. The change to willing host status came in spite of an array of delegations to Clarington council, arguing against changing the Municipality’s offi- cial position. “Mayor (Jim) Abernethy keeps saying that if the project is not safe, the Ministry of the Environ- ment will turn it down; it’s already been discussed that this is passing the buck,” resident Louis Ber- trand said. “We know the Province rarely turns down a locally-approved project.” He was far from alone in his concern. “Does burning garbage make our communi- ty a better place?” asked resident Pierre-Phillipe David. “Is that what you want your legacy to be, that Clarington became the place to truck garbage to burn? Is that something to be proud of? We deserve better.” But, at the same time, Coun. Robinson said he’d had a number of phone calls from his “supporters,” urging him to back down on the unwilling host stance. The change in stance is contingent upon the regions of Durham and York, partners on the proposed incinera- tor, accepting Clarington’s conditions, Coun. Robinson noted. “The Host Community Agreement has to be agreed to by Durham and York, or we go back to being an unwilling host,” he said. -- With files from Jillian Follert and Keith Gilligan DURHAM INCINERATOR Clarington reverses course, now a willing host If we sign a host community agreement, the unwilling host (status) was gone anyway.

The poll, done by Har- ris Decima for Expedia. ca, found that 24 per cent of employed Canadians report they are not taking all of their vacation days. Despite receiving an aver- age of 18.7 vacation days, this year Canadians will give back an average of 2.03 days of unused vacation time to their employers, a release about the poll said. The poll also found: 18 % • of those polled feel they need a vacation now more than ever due to stress from the economy 13 % • say work is their life and they are too busy to get away 30 % • say they feel guilty about taking time off work Note: “The stress associated with the current economy and impact on the workplace makes the need for time away from work even more important,” said Beverly Beuermann-King, stress and wellness expert. TRENDset AGRICULTURE Buying fresh in Durham FROM ROADSIDE STANDS TO PICK-YOUR-OWN FARMS TO GROCERY STORES, CHOOSING LOCAL PRODUCE HELPS DURHAM ECONOMY BY JENNA-LEE MAINSE jmainse@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Buying farm-fresh produce and baked goods not only supports local farmers, but also treats taste buds. The Durham Farm Fresh Marketing Asso- ciation has made it its mission to promote the local farmers within Durham Region. Its website, www.durhamfarmfresh.com, is a quick guide to a full members list, locations map and seasonal picking chart. There are currently 70 farmers on the asso- ciation’s members list, leaving no shortage of options for people keen on farm fresh goods -- whether they want to go to the farm itself, stop quickly at a roadside market or pick their own. Colleen and Walter Pingle are the owners of Pingle’s Farm Market at 1805 Taunton Rd. E. in Hampton. Currently, the farm has just entered its twenty-second season. Mr. Pingle is a third-generation farmer. His wife said people who come to their farm value where their food is coming from. “We find people are very engaged,” Mrs. Pingle said. “They enjoy talking to Walter about how he grows things.” Pingles, along with many other Durham Region farm gates, both grow and sell a wide variety of produce. Depending on the season, asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, sweet corn, cucumbers, dill weed, zucchini, watermelon, cabbage, apples and pumpkins can all be bought right off the vine -- which enhances flavour. July is a great time to purchase or pick your own plums, potatoes, carrots, pears, summer raspberries and strawberries. “We have some great farm gates all over the region that offer a variety of fresh products,” Mrs. Pingle said, whose farm market also sells a variety of baked goods, jarred food and giftware. But if making the trip to the farm is too much of a hassle, look for local farm-fresh signs when buying grocery store produce. Marlene Werry, a resource for the Durham Farm Fresh board of directors, bought toma- toes from a local Sobey’s last week because they were displayed as local farm produce. Although many national grocery chains are limited on the amount local farm produce they can sell, even the minimal support helps keep Durham Region produce popular and viable. “I think you can find pretty much every- thing in the grocery store,” Ms. Werry said. “It’s not that we grow anything different it’s just that we grow (the food) here in Durham and it’s very high quality.” Durham produce maintains its quali- ty from the time it is picked to the time it is exchanged between farmer and consumer -- simply because a carbon trail barely exists (if at all). How food is transported effects the environ- ment, and a lengthy truck drive from farm to store puts limits on produce freshness. Melanie Pyke shops weekly at the farmers’ market held in the back parking lot of the Oshawa Centre every Friday from May to the end of October. The market has a variety of Durham farm booths full of fresh and in-sea- son healthy treats. “The (produce) is local and it’s not far from the fields. I prefer that to a long trip on a truck,” Ms. Pyke said. The great taste and quality of local farm goods is well worth the drive to the field. Some local farms have tractor rides, games and pick-your-own options that the whole family can enjoy. “It’s kind of fun showing your kids that you can go out and pick (fruits and vegetables),” Mrs. Pingle laughed. “It’s just a great experi- ence. They’re helping but then they are also eating (the picked fruit) because you get it in the house to cook.” About the business: PHONE 905-725-6089 WEB www.pinglesfarmmarket.com We ﬁ nd people are very engaged.

C LACROSSE West Durham Patriots open with loss Winning goal scored with 1.5 seconds remaining BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- There are a lot of similarities between the second-year West Durham Patriots and the expansion Clarington Shamrox. Including the level of play they are at early in the Ontario Lacrosse Associa- tion Jr. C loop. A goal by the Sham- rox with just 1.5 seconds remaining on the clock Fri- day in Bowmanville proved to be the difference in a 13- 12 victory for the home side. The win evened the Sham- rox’s record at 2-2, while the loss came in the season opener for the Patriots. While this is the second season in the loop for West Durham, the club is trying to find its way early on with- out the benefit of a practice with the full roster as yet. “We haven’t had a full practice yet this year and it’s hard to work on things when you only get ten kids out to practice and it’s not always the same ten kids,” said head coach Jimmy Fox. “Once we get everyone out on the floor, things will turn around.” The Shamrox, on the other hand, had three pre- vious games under its belt before Friday’s victory. But with being a new team to the league this year, there are still some adjustments to be made while the roster goes through a huge learn- ing curve. “We’re coming together slowly,” said head coach Randy Richards. “I’m work- ing with a new bunch of guys so it’s taking time.” Spencer Cole’s second goal of the night, with just one tick remaining on the clock, lifted the Shamrox to Friday’s come-from-behind win. The team battled back from an 11-7 deficit four minutes into the third, and 12-11 with just 1:51 remain- ing in the game. Greome Hossack’s goal with 1:51 left gave West Dur- ham a 12-11 advantage, but Clarington’s Trevor Munce, who also assisted on the winner, tied things at 12-12 with 1:11 remaining. Despite being in their first season of operations, Clar- ington has some lofty expec- tations, as Richards has tar- geted a winning record and reaching the league finals as a couple of goals. “Clarington has a strong minor system and a lot of these guys have graduat- ed through the years and we have some good play- ers in Clarington and this gives them the opportunity to further their career and play at a higher level,” he said. Likewise, Cox is target- ing a top-two finish in the league this season and a long playoff run for his West Durham club. “Last year, we got off to a rocky start and we put it together and climbed back up,” he said of his team’s third-place finish. West Durham heads into Peterborough Wednesday, then hosts Clarington in a rematch on Monday at 8 p.m. Clarington sees action next with a trip to Kingston on Saturday. SR. B LACROSSE Ajax-Pickering Rock settles for tie PETERBOROUGH -- The Ajax-Pickering Rock has now registered all three possible outcomes just three games into the Sr. B lacrosse sea- son. Travelling to Norwood to face the Vipers in a low scor- ing affair on Friday, the Rock needed a pair of unanswered goals in the third period to pull into a 5-5 tie to force overtime. A winner couldn’t be decided there either, with each team counting a single marker for a 6-6 tie. The draw leaves the Rock with a 1-1-1 record. Mark Craig (2), Travis Bland, Jonas Derks, Darryl Burkhart and Ryan McMi- chael scored for the Rock. The Rock returns to action Thursday in Brooklin. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 200919 AP GARAGE SALES THIS WEEK CLASSIFIED To Place your ad please Call 905.576.9335 • Fax 905.579.4218 Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm or email your ad to classiﬁ eds@durhamregion.com Oshawa or Ajax 2 col. x 10 lines Date, Address, Time, Items Graphics or Rain Delay $6 $50 GST incl. 1 col. x 10 lines Date, Address, Time $30 GST incl.

(905)623-5278 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 200921 AP Sea Lamprey Control Centre Centre de Lutte Contre la Lamproie Marine Public Notice Avis public May 2009 The Sea Lamprey Control Centre, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), proposes to treat approximately 22 km of Duffins Creek with the lampricide TFM to reduce the numbers of larval sea lamprey. Lampricide will be applied for approximately 14 hours from designated application points as noted on the accompanying map. Treatment is tentatively scheduled during the period of May 20-27, 2009. The lampricide selectively kills lamprey larvae and may also cause mortality to other fish if under stress of spawning, or weakened by disease or other environmental factors. Although the lampricide is not harmful to humans or other animals at the concentrations used during the treatment, any use of stream water for irrigation and drinking should be suspended for a 24 hour period during this treatment period. mai 2009 Le centre de lutte contre la lamproie marine de Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO), propose de traiter environ 22 km du crique Duffins avec le lampricide TFM afin de réduire le nombre de larves de lamproie marine. Le lampricide sera appliqué pendant environ 14 heures à partir de points d’application désignés tel qu’il est indiqué sur la carte d’accompagnement. Un traitement est proposé pendant la période du 20 au 27 mai 2009. Le lampricide tue sélectivement les larves de lamproie marine et peut également provoquer la mortalité d’autres poissons s’ils sont en train de subir le stress du frai ou s’ils sont affaiblis par la maladie ou d’autres facteurs du milieu. Bien que le lampricide ne présente aucun danger pour les êtres humains ou les autres animaux aux concentrations utilisées durant le traitement, il est recommandé d’interrompre toute utilisation de l’eau du cours d’eau aux fins d’irrigation ou de consommation pendant la période de 24 heures du traitement.
