Circa-1846 buildings on the Salem Road property (also known as The Rogers Proper- ty) consist of four stone buildings: a house; a coach house, a barn and a workshop. There are also ruins of a wooden barn and a metal barn that still stands. In 2003, the Ministry of Transportation hired Archaeologix Inc. to assess the property. The Rogers property sits in the path of the future 407 expansion, which is currently undergoing an environ- mental assessment. Archaeologix found that although the buildings have been altered, the property is still significant because: the cluster of early stone buildings is rare; the stone outbuildings are unique; the Rogers family was influential to the area; and the house is one of very few remaining stone houses in Pickering Town- ship dating from the first half of the 19th cen- tury. The report recommended the property remain on the current location. If it must be moved, the cluster should remain the same. “The buildings are more important as a group than as independent entities, and their siting is a significant factor in the estimation of their heritage value,” it said. President of the Pickering Township Histor- ical Society, John Sabean, agreed. “I would be very, very reluctant to move it but if the Prov- ince insists the road has to go there, I would agree only if it went on a similar space,” he said. It’s not just the buildings that are impor- tant, Mr. Sabean said. So is the Rogers family. “Rogers is extremely important to this area,” he said. He added the Rogers family that owned the farm is in fact distantly related to the same family that owns Rogers Communications Inc. today. The Rogers family was prominent in early Ajax and Pickering history, he said. Wing Rogers, who built the home, was the son of Timothy, who was responsible for set- tling 40 families in the area. The household remained in the Rogers family until 1935. It was purchased by the Province in 2003 and is currently rented out and still operating as a farm. Pickering chief administrator Tom Quinn feels the property is significant given its his- tory and the City has sent a letter to the MTO to that effect. The letter asks that the build- ing remains occupied to avoid deteriora- tion, that the Province continues to maintain it and that it consults the City before making any decisions on the buildings. He said moving the buildings could be costly (in the $100,000 range) and doesn’t feel it’s Pickering’s responsibility to pay for it. “I think it’s a responsibility that they (MTO) work with the City,” he said. “And that’s part of the cost of what they’re doing.” Also, he questions whether the farm would fit historically into the Pickering Museum Vil- lage, especially with alterations to the roofing. “One hundred years ago ,they didn’t have aluminum roofs,” he said, adding changing to cedar shakes could cost about $25,000. Mr. Quinn said the MTO has agreed to meet with the City regarding the property. A MTO representative was unavailable for comment.

Town meeting planned for July 27 AJAX -- Town of Ajax officials want youth who are looking to make a differ- ence in their community to come to an open house. Youth are invited to provide feedback on programming to the Town on July 27 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. By showing up, they’ll have a chance to win prizes and high school students who attend will qualify for community service hours. Refreshments will also be served. “Youth voices are powerful, and it’s important that we listen to them,” said Robert Prochilo, community recreation youth coordinator. “We can learn valu- able things from the youth that attend this forum, which will help determine future youth programming, youth space, and partnerships.” For more information: CALL 905-619-2529 ext. 7508 EMAIL robert.prochilo@townofajax.com RECREATION Ajax wants to know what youth think about programs newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 23, 20095 P carpooling and public transit,” said Shaw- na Mutton, executive director of Durham Sustain Ability. “Each day, Durham residents make 800,000 private car trips that are less than six kilometres from their home.” Added Gail Lawlor, a board member for the group, “Durham is a transportation- heavy region.” The organization is providing incen- tives for residents and businesses to get involved in the contest, which is open until Aug. 31. There are prizes, including a donated bicycle and GPS unit, with winners to be publicly recognized in the fall. Durham Sustain Ability has also launched an EcoDriver program, encour- aging commuters to drive efficiently, buy fuel efficiently, and drive less. “There is a 35-per cent difference between the most and least fuel-efficient drivers on the road,” reads a release from the group. To support the initiative, a program including workshops and presentations will run until next March. The program also features tire pressure clinics, with one held at the Pickering Town Centre last Saturday, July 18. Ses- sions are designed to educate drivers on how to properly check tire pressure. “Just one tire under-inflated by eight pounds per square inch reduces fuel efficiency by four per cent,” reads the release. Meanwhile, a free service aimed at help- ing Durham residents identify potential problems with their wells was launched by the group in May, and the organization is hoping to reach more well owners in Uxbridge. The 2009 Well Aware program is a “free, confidential and non-regulatory inspec- tion” with a trained water guide. “The program is purely educational and guides residents in identifying risks and points them in the right direction for solutions,” notes Durham Sustain Ability. “The home visit is a one-on-one tutorial about how to care for your well and septic system.” To book a free guided self-assessment, call Durham Sustain Ability at 905-427- 0061.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions environment Why are scientist right on ice ages but wrong on climate change? To the editor: Recently you printed a letter question- ing human influence on global warming. The writer suggested that scientists believe the last ice age was 20,000 years ago and that the ice sheets shrank to their current size 7,000 years ago. Therefore, we should assume global warming is a naturally occurring trend and coal plants are relatively harmless. This counters the arguments of the Inter- national Panel on Climate Change which includes the contributions of hundreds of the world’s leading scientists on cli- mate change. Why, may I ask, am I supposed to believe scientists when they discuss ice ages but not when they discuss climate change? Matthew Beatty Ajax PATRIOTISM Children’s rendition of O Canada on bridge touched heart To the editor: On Sunday, my husband and I were on the Harwood bridge to show support for the families of our fallen hero. We have turned out for most of these brave men and will continue to do so as long as these sons and daughters are fighting this terrible battle. Sunday was a little bit different in a way that we had a family of four behind us with Mom, Dad and two small girls whose ages I would guess to be about three and four. The kids kept asking if the cars were coming yet and then someone said here it comes. Mom and Dad picked up a child each in their arms and by this time the cars were close to us, when, all of a sudden, both youngsters started to sing O Canada. I have never felt anything in my life so touching. It was just perfect, so I say a great big thank you to two lovely little girls and an even bigger one to the parents who took the time to teach these kids what love is. Nan Kettles Ajax AUTO INDUSTRY At least General Motors is still standing and providing jobs To the editor: Let’s be thankful for the jobs that are left! Reading the letters mourning the Gen- eral Motors job cuts is very sad. I do empathize with the emotional outbursts from workers and their families who are affected by the re-structuring of GM. What I do struggle with is the overall attitude of blame that pervades many of these letters. I am not sure who this blame is target- ed at. Surely it is not the “new GM,” which is partially owned by us, the Canadian tax- payers. Is it the “old GM,” a company which submitted to workers demands for wage levels that clearly made the North Ameri- can auto industry non-competitive from a global perspective? Or is it the government who is to blame for allowing “foreign automakers” a chance to compete in the first place? Perhaps we should just be grateful that we (Canadian taxpayers) bailed out GM and there are still at least some jobs available at a wage rate that workers will struggle to find elsewhere. Stephen Hunter Oshawa Community pulls together after fire changes lives Anyone who has ever lived in a small community knows just how supportive neighbours can be in bad times. Sara Pooler knows exactly how things work in small towns, having grown up in Orono. But she got a refresher course when fire swept through her rented apartment and the Claremont General Store in north Pickering on July 12. The fire, which gut- ted the store, Ms. Pooler’s apartment and a second apartment in the 150-year-old building, left her and her two children homeless and without their possessions. To make matters worse, she had no insur- ance. Now, close to two weeks after the dev- astating blaze, she’s been overwhelmed by the support of Claremont and area residents. “The outpouring from the communi- ty has been amazing,” she said. “I knew they’d be supportive -- they pull together for everybody. I’ve had so much support from people who never even knew me. It’s been overwhelming.” That support was evident even while the fire was being put out by various fire departments, she said. As she stood there watching the fire (her children were away for the weekend), people were pressing money into her hands and making sure she had water and food. The Claremont residents came through for the Pooler family, plus the store and building owner, Daniel Park, and the sec- ond tenant, Derek Budarick, in many ways. Ms. Pooler spoke of furniture she’s been given and Claremont neighbours asking her what items the children lost so those can be replaced. Last weekend, a fundraiser was held and about 200 people attended, enjoying a variety of activities and raising money for their neighbours. There was no tally on the money raised by press time but all proceeds are going to Ms. Pooler, Mr. Park and Mr. Budarick. Ms. Pooler has already found a new place to live with her children, not far from Claremont. And the landlord, on hearing their plight, waived the first month’s rent. In keeping with that community spirit, Mr. Park is already looking for a tempo- rary location for his general store, a busi- ness his neighbours rely on. It’s events like this fire that show just what people and communities are made of. Residents in small communities band together to help their neighbours when bad times roll in, regardless of whether they know them or not. (That’s not to say support like this can’t be found in cities and towns. It can and is.) It’s not surprising to see this happen but it is heartwarming and commend- able. 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 • July 23, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 23, 20097 AP Unbelievable bargains!!

But nobody he turned to -- not his doc- tors, specialists or government officials he sought out for work -- could give him a straight answer. Instead, he bounced from one department to another leaving him job- less with no answers and little hope. “The fact that I’m an utterly stubborn per- son is the only thing that kept me going,” he said. Then one day he discovered something that had eluded him for three years: an answer. Mr. Feldman was reading a newspaper article by a reporter who was suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease. It described an Assis- tive Technology Clinic at Sunnybrook Hos- pital. A quick referral from one of his doc- tors landed him an appointment at the clin- ic. And that changed his life. Clinic doctors put him into the assistive development program and administered a few tests before putting him in front of a computer. He was then asked to read some- thing and, as if by magic, the words immedi- ately appeared on screen. As Mr. Feldman describes this memora- ble visit to the clinic a smile spreads across his face and his voice rises with excitement. He’s used the software for a number of years now, but the joy and the freedom it gives him is obvious. “There are so many things you’re able to do without any use of your arms or hands at all. There are so many opportunities,” he said. The software that allows him to speak into his computer is called Dragon Naturally Speaking. It lets him produce written docu- ments, do spreadsheets, power-point pre- sentations, send and receive e-mails, surf the Internet -- anything “at speeds that are going to blow you away,” he said. The best part about the technology is that most of the costs were covered by the gov- ernment through the Assistive Devices Pro- gram. In Ontario, the Province pays for 75 per cent of the cost while the consumer is responsible for the rest. But if the patient is on the Ontario Disability Support Program, like Mr. Feldman, the costs are fully cov- ered. “As it turned out, virtually all of it was cov- ered. It was great,” he said. “Now I have a hope of doing something.” Pearl Gryfe is the director of Assistive Tech- nology at Sunnybrook Hospital. She was Mr. Feldman’s therapist when he first came to Sunnybrook and said the technology “gets better every day.” “We have technology today where you can control your entire environment just with the touch of a switch or the blink of an eye,” she said. “It’s unbelievable.” The wheelchair Mr. Feldman now uses also allows him to do many of the things an able-bodied person can do. As he explained it, anything that can be run by remote con- trol can be operated by a person without the use of his arms or legs. His wheelchair has technology programmed into it that allows him to open and close his blinds, turn his lights off and on, operate his TV, DVD and stereo, and one day he says he’d like to get it programmed to open and close his front door. This is all accomplished through movements of his head. “There are so many kinds of environmen- tal control units that would give that person the ability to do so much,” he said. But if this technology can do so much good for people who need it, why do so many professionals know nothing about it? That’s something that makes Mr. Feldman angry. “Why didn’t my doctor send me to that clinic, why didn’t the service provider send me to that clinic?” he asked. “That, to me, is so typical of what’s going on out there today.” Ms. Gryfe admitted there’s not a lot of money at the clinic for marketing. “No, we’re not that well known,” she said. But Mr. Feldman hopes to change that beginning with a website project he’s begun with the Durham Region Employment Net- work (DREN) in partnership with the Dur- ham Region Local Training Board. The pur- pose of the site will be to give people with disabilities the information they need to get the help they deserve. The website, www. disabilitydoorway.com, will be launched later this summer. “There are technologies out there, they are available and they’re government-fund- ed. People don’t know about them,” said Mr. Feldman. Carol Edwards, the DREN executive direc- tor, said her organization has accessibility information on its website called the One Stop Disability Shop, but with Mr. Feldman’s vision “we’re going to bring the two togeth- er.” “I think he’s an amazing individual,” she said. “He’s a great inspiration for having a positive attitude, an attitude that if you want to do something you can do it and overcome all kinds of challenges and barriers.” Mr. Feldman said the goal of this project is to help people who don’t know where to turn due to a disability. He hopes it will give people the help they need, help he says he didn’t have before he discovered the Assis- tive Technology Clinic. “Too many people don’t know about the programs or organizations that can help people with disabilities. My heart goes out to them. The knowledge of these things is not there,” he said.

E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 MANAGE YOUR WASTE.SAVE THE PLANET. www.durhamregionwaste.ca Why aren’t non-compostable plastic bags acceptable in Durham’s compost stream? The use of non-compostable plastic bags in the Region’s Green Bin program reduces the quality of yard and food waste material collected and received at the compost facility. Bags that are not 100 per cent compostable will leave residual bits of plastic in the processed material. As a result, the cost of processing the material increases, and the quality decreases due to a higher level of plastic contaminants. Residents may have seen some shopping bags called “OxoBiodegradable™” bags. These bags are being promoted in Durham as biodegradable and recyclable. Oxo bags are neither biodegradable or compostable and are not accepted in the Region’s Green Bin program. Prior to the launch of the Green Bin program, Regional staff advised local retailers on which bags would be accepted in the Region’s program. Our promotion and education staff continuously promote 100 per cent certiﬁ ed compostable bags to area residents. While the Region cannot dictate to retailers the type of bags they can sell, it is important that residents look for the 100 per cent certifi ed compostable logo on all bags they buy for the Green Bin program. For more information on compostable bags accepted in the Region’s program, and a list of where you can purchase certiﬁ ed liner bags throughout the Region, please visit our website. How can I decrease odours from my kitchen food waste container? Too much moisture in your kitchen container can cause unpleasant odours. Put some paper towel or small pieces of newspaper in the bottom of your compostable liner bag to absorb liquids. You can also alternate layers of food waste, with layers of soiled paper towels or napkins, to help absorb moisture as food accumulates. Baking soda sprinkled at the bottom of the container is also effective at reducing unpleasant owners. Some people freeze meat and ﬁ sh scraps, and only put them in the container just before the bag is due to be removed. Emptying your kitchen container every two or three days is the most effective way to minimize odours. I’m moving to Clarington from Ajax. Should I take my blue box and green bin? Yes. Residents are asked to take their blue box, kitchen composter and curbside green bin with them when they move within Durham Region. If you are a new resident who moved into the area from other parts of the province, or have moved from an apartment to a house, you will be supplied with a blue box and the green bin kit (one time, free of charge). Please contact our Waste Management Centre at 905-579-5264 or 1-800-667-5671 to arrange delivery. Residents are reminded that if your blue box or green bin is broken, bring the item to the Waste Management Centre located at 4600 Garrard Rd. in Whitby and exchange it for a new one. Thanks for recycling, and enjoy your new home. But, it doesn’t mean you’ll be trekking across Canada AJAX -- The Town of Ajax is challeng- ing families to walk to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. But it doesn’t involve trekking across the Rockies; instead, the Town wants residents to grab pedometers and contribute their steps towards the equivalent of the trip from Ajax to British Columbia before Feb. 12, 2010. For the average person, it would take 6.25 million steps to walk to Vancouver and fam- ilies can borrow pedometers from the pub- lic library to work towards that goal togeth- er. They can then log on to logyoursteps.com to keep track of how they’re doing. People can also complete a ballot to win a prize if they participate. The challenge is part of the Town’s sports and physical activity strategy.

Weston award AJAX -- An Ajax man is one of two Ontario students receiv- ing a scholarship for outstanding academic achievements in mental health studies. Magnus Mfoafo-M’Carthy, a PhD student at the Univer- sity of Toronto, is getting a $7,500 Hilary M. Weston Schol- arship to continue his research on mental health services in multicultural communities. Margaret McLauchlan, of Blenheim, a University of Windsor student, also received a $7,500 scholarship to develop a specialized program supporting post-second- ary students with psychiatric disabilities. The scholarship was created by the Province in honour of Hilary M. Weston, Ontario’s 26th Lieutenant Governor. “I am honoured to award these two students with the Hilary M. Weston Scholarship,” Ms. Weston said. “Their commitment and dedication to mental health studies makes a remarkable impact on the lives of people who live with the effects of mental illness.” In Ontario, one in five people will experience a mental illness in their lives.

Renown for her expert advice on healthy living, having appeared on CTV Newsnet, Global News, Chex Channel 12 “First Take Live”, 640am and CBC radio - in addition to contributing to articles in community newspapers as well as Elle Canada Magazine - Foy has opened U Weight Loss Clinics in both Ajax and Pickering. “Our program is based on science and we offer three basic steps,” she explains. “The ﬁ rst is to detox and cleanse, the second is to stabilize the clients’ blood sugar levels and the ﬁ nal step is to increase their metabolism. We encourage total health and ensure our clients get all the essential nutrients necessary to make weight loss easy.” Clients begin by taking part in a free health analysis. “We sit down and discuss their health goals, whether that’s losing weight or just maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our program encourages people to achieve their own personal health goals. Regardless of whether or not they decide to pursue those goals with the U Weight Loss Program, everyone receives a free detox and cleanse. “It is a very mild cleanse that can be used in conjunction with their current diet, and after they have started we will follow up with them to see how they are doing.” Our main goal is to change people’s lives and make losing weight easy by educating our clients and clearing up the many nutrition myths that interfere with them meeting their goal and maintaining their weight loss permanently.” Through its employees, U Weight Loss also offers up personal experiences and successes. Foy herself lost over 50 pounds after her pregnancy by applying the “3 secrets to Weight Loss” that the program is based on. Ciara Foy became a nutritionist because she loves helping people: “There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone lose weight, get healthy and change their lives.

CIARA FOY One in ﬁ ve Canadians experiences stress- related health conditions, from headaches to heart and circulatory troubles. Of premature deaths, a large number are stress-related, with coronary heart disease leading the pack. Technically speaking, a stressor is almost anything that triggers biological changes and produces what is called the “stress response”. Your body reacts to stress partly by activating adrenal hormones. The “ﬁ ght or ﬂ ight” response turns some adrenals on while turning others off. These hormones can increase sugar in the blood for fast energy for the brain and muscles. When extreme stress situations have ended, the hormones cortisol and adrenalin are supposed to be “turned off”, allowing other hormones to turn back “on.” However, chronic stress can prevent stress hormones from turning off, making it hard for the body to recover and relax. Continual high levels of stress hormones can cause cellular damage, blood sugar problems, and adrenal exhaustion. Can you undo effects of chronic stress? Many people ﬁ nd relief through exercise, travel, hobbies, or by expanding their personal and social activities. Diet is also very important. Dr. Joyce Johnson explains, “Stress can be caused by, and can cause, nutrient deﬁ ciencies. Before resorting to medications, I advise patients to improve their diets and take natural stress-supportive supplements. A balanced formula of B vitamins, such as B-Calm, can protect nervous system health and help prevent stress-related illness.” She adds, “There are adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha — well known to herbalists, but new to most Canadians — that help shut off the stress response and normalize cortisol production. Modern science and ancient healing traditions meet when companies like webber naturals use both to develop effective anti-stress supplements. Good food, exercise and appropriate supplementation can rebalance your nervous system to turn off chronic stress.” - News Canada Stop stress before it kills you newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 23, 200912 AP At last, it’s July and summer is fi nally here! It’s time to get out the shorts and tank tops and don’t forget those bikini’s, right? I can see most of you cringing at the thought, because the truth is as much as we can’t wait for summer to arrive, when it gets here and we peel off the layers of clothing we’ve been hiding under all winter, we’re a littleuncomfortable exposing all that skin. Summer is a tricky time because it’s the time that we want to look our best, but it’s also the time of year that we fi nd the most excuses as to why we can’t stick to a healthy eating plan or get our exercise classes in. Whether it is a vacation, or we’re busy with friends and family or simply enjoying more wine then usual on a patio, summer is a time when many of us get off track. But let me ask you, when is it going to be the “right” time to lose weight? When is it going to be “easy”? When are you not going to have a birthday party to attend or holiday to enjoy?? The truth is NEVER. Losing weight and getting healthy is something that you have to do TODAY because if not now when? How many times have you promised yourself that Monday you would go to the gym, or eat healthy and then Monday came - and went and nothing in your life changed? Permanent weight loss isn’t about the right time, it’s about making a commitment to putting YOU and YOUR health fi rst because I promise you that if you don’t, nobody else will. At U Weight Loss we are here to support you and teach you how to deal with the birthday’s, holidays, vacations and various other events that derail your health and weight loss goals because the truth is the only perfect time is NOW. The hot weather is still ahead of us, still lots of time to ditch those cover- ups! Come in to U Weight Loss today for your Free Detox and Cleanse.

The weekend tournament attracted 80 teams participat- ing over the five age groups (U7 to U11). The U9 divi- sion was 16-teams deep with teams from Guelph, Erin Mills, Peterborough, Leaside, North Toronto, Scarborough, Oak Ridges, Northumber- land, Pickering, North York and Rexdale. The Heat got the their weekend started with a 4-2 win over last year’s defend- ing champion North Toron- to Nitros. Playing some of their best soccer, the boys kept focused and defeated Olympic Flame 10–0 and Oak Ridges 5-0 to round out a well-played afternoon. On Sunday, the boys awoke to sunny skies and got to work as they entered the quarterfi- nals against Pickering Gold. A 7–3 win moved the Heat closer to their goal as they set their sights on a very com- petitive Leaside squad. Both Leaside and North Toronto Nitros are tied for first in the YDSL North Division post- ing 6 wins, 2 ties and 1 loss records. The Heat would not be denied and netted six goals in the semifinal match while only allowing one goal against. A resilient North Toron- to Nitros battled through the quarter and semifinal matches to advance to the final, which was a repeat of the Ajax Soccer Club 2008 Tournament. The Heat started off the scoring in the first half going ahead 1–0. In the sec- ond half, the Nitros tied the match. The Heat kept their cool and pressured the Nitros throughout the second half. With two more goals half way through the second half, the Heat refused to look back and held the Nitros off to secure the match and cap- ture the championship 3-1. The Heat are also proud to mention that they have been in the finals of all U9 tour- naments entered this year.
