Last Thursday, a new restaurant with a patio, Zeera by the Bay, opened its doors with a display of Indian-infused music, dance and offerings of its fine, yet affordable, Indian cui- sine. “A lot of people said they’ve never seen an opening like that in Pickering,” said owner Avtar Kala, who also runs Convenience by the Bay, one of the many businesses in the eclectic nautical village. Pickering economic development offi- cer Catherine Hodge, who refers to the area going toward the lake as a “jewel,” said the City is most appreciative of Mr. Kala’s dou- ble investment in the community, adding to the variety of businesses nearing Pickering’s waterfront. “We have sort of an eclectic food gathering there,” she said, adding there are a number of business besides restaurants, such as a pri- vate investigation company and a tattoo par- lour. As a resident in the neighbourhood, Mr. Kala said he was asked by neighbours when he was going to open an Indian restaurant in Pickering.

First at 11:15 a.m., police say, an employee at the Subway on the corner of Brock Road and Bayly Street in Pickering was taking the overnight proceeds in a money bag to the bank on Brock Street. She was approached by a man who knocked her to the ground and grabbed the money bag before fleeing north- bound on Plummer Road. Police searched the area with the K- 9 unit, but no arrests were made. The employee suffered cuts and bruises. The suspect is white between 25 and 30 years old, six feet tall and about 190 pounds with a slender build. He has a ruddy complexion, thick dark-brown hair, a broad nose and was unshaven. The suspect was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. There have been at least a half dozen sub shop robberies in recent months. “I don’t know if there’s a pattern, we’ve had robberies at other restaurant chains, we’ve had robberies at banks, we’ve had robberies at parks. I don’t neces- sarily have statistics to indicate there’s an increasing level,” said Dave Selby, a spokesman for the police. “But certainly a lot of sub shops have been hit.” Mr. Selby said it might be that sub shops are open late at night, though he pointed out closed stores have been robbed too. In what police say is a separate inci- dent, Little Ceasar’s Pizza on West- ney Road North in Ajax was robbed at approximately 11:55 p.m. by two men. The employee reported seeing a hand- gun in the waistband of one of the sus- pects who emptied the cash register. Both suspects fled on foot and a search of the area by police was unsuccessful. The employee was not injured. The first suspect is black, six feet tall and 160 pounds with a medium build. He was wearing a ball cap and dark clothing. The second suspect is black, five feet 11 inches with a medium build. He was wearing a green camouflage hooded jacket.

AP Federal finance minister on hand for $93-million funding announcement BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Durham’s getting more than $93 million worth of help from the feds and the Province to upgrade the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Pickering. Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was on hand Tuesday to make the announcement along with Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson and Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. The plant handles sewage from Ajax and Pickering and about 90 per cent of the sew- age from York Region. The facility is jointly owned by York and Durham. The money, which comes from the eco- nomic stimulus pot, will cover a portion of the $500 million in upgrades for the Duffin Creek plant which is currently expected to exceed its capacity by 2010. “We have tremendous cooperation in Ontario between the regional governments, the local municipalities, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada,” said Mr. Flaherty. “This is a way of transform- ing what is a significant economic crisis into an opportunity for all of us to build the infra- structure we’re going to need to grow and prosper in the future.” The newly announced dollars will go main- ly towards upgrading the plant’s incinerators which burn leftover solid waste and upgrad- ing the plant’s phosphorus removal technol- ogy. All three levels of government will kick in a third of the funding, amounting to $46.67 million each from the feds, the Province and the regional municipalities. Of the munici- pal share, roughly 60 per cent will come from York and 40 per cent from Durham. Durham’s portion will be funded through sewer user rates and development charges. Mr. Anderson said residents would have had to pay significantly more without the upper levels of government contributing. During the construction phase, approxi- mately 500 jobs are expected to be created. Mr. Dickson said significant upgrades to Ontario’s sewage plants mean healthier communities and a cleaner Great Lakes sys- tem, adding the upgrades will accommodate growth. “Durham is indeed the fastest grow- ing region. York and Durham are expected to experience significant growth in the com- ing years, so the expansion will allow for this plant, one of the largest in Canada, to accom- modate that growth.” Cliff Curtis, Durham’s works commissioner, said even with the expansion of the plant to accommodate growth, the amount of phos- phorus discharged into Lake Ontario will be equal to or less than what is currently dis- charged. On the flip side, Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland said while he thought the Duffin Bay plant upgrades were a worthy project, he criticized the way the federal government’s infrastructure money has gone out. He said the process was too slow and municipalities should have been given a set amount of dol- lars based on population instead of the fed- eral and provincial governments picking and choosing projects. Upgrades to the plant have already begun with portions of it to be completed in 2010 and 2011. INFRASTRUCTURE Millions pledged for Pickering sewage plant JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, top, along with Joe Dickson, MPP for Ajax-Pickering, centre, were on hand to announce the governments of Canada and Ontario have set aside a total of $93.3 million in funding to support upgrades at the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Pickering.

Police say the woman was walking home from her boyfriend’s house on Pembry Drive near Plowman Avenue “in the early morn- ing hours” when she was approached by a black vehicle -- possibly an SUV -- with two men inside. The woman kept walking, but was later approached from behind by a man who grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Police say he began groping her until a passing car stopped and scared the suspect away. He’s described as male, white, roughly 22 to 28 years old with a shaved head. He was shirtless and wearing blue jeans and had a medium build. Investigators say they would like to speak with the Good Samari- tans who stopped to assist the victim and drive her home. Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact Det. Const. Accettone of the DRPS Sexual Assault Unit at 1-888- 579-1520 ext. 5325.

Mary Lye, centre, of the foundation, was on hand at the day- care recently to receive the $1,289.58 donation. Ms. Lye brought with her a necklace with each bead representing a procedure her daughter, Harriet, underwent in her cancer treatment. Checking out the beads were, clockwise from left, Elise Wronski, Dylan Gonzales, Marcus Cameron, Amanda Strowbridge, Curtis Cook and Avery Tigert. “That’s what encouraged me, actually, to open a restaurant here,” he said. Ms. Hodge pointed out since Zeera’s is at Liver- pool Road and Krosno Boulevard, close to Big M Burgers and Massey’s, it adds to the gateway to the nautical village. Since the business opened, it’s been busy, espe- cially at dinner time, but Mr. Kala pointed out Indi- an cuisine is becoming mainstream and people of all ethnicities have dined at his new restaurant. “I’d say only two per cent is from India,” he said. So far, he’s noticed people have chosen to eat there through word of mouth. “It’s been a good response,” he said. “I have a very great feeling for it.” Mr. Kala anticipates business to increase not only when the harbour entrance to Frenchman’s Bay is improved, but with the new development of San Francisco by the Bay. “Every one customer counts,” he said. Pickering prides itself on being one of the most ethnically-diverse communities in Durham Region. According to Statistics Canada, in 2006, about 31 per cent of Pickering’s population was made up of visible minorities, second to Ajax with 36 per cent. “We’re a very much doors-open community and that’s what a sustainable community is,” Ms. Hodge said. Overall, Ms. Hodge said throughout the econom- ic crisis, Pickering has only experienced the usual business fluctuations and accredits that to the diverse business community in Pickering. “I’m happy to report we have weathered the storm,” Ms. Hodge said.

Most Ontarians don’t mind paying the added health premiums if the money was going to health care. Try and see a doctor or get a test done in this province, good luck. The millions of dollars flying out the door to these consultants is obscene. What’s more obscene is the fact that these people feel it’s their right to gouge us taxpayers for their perks. Who do these people think they are? I don’t even want to discuss their obscene salaries and bonus- es. It’s absolutely disgusting and immoral. How do they live with their conscience knowing people are dying while they are living the high life. It’s a sad in day in Ontar- io, the new have-not province of Canada. Dave Puckrin Oshawa ENVIRONMENT Swallows plentiful in family’s backyard To the editor: Re: Where have all the swallows gone? Mar- garet Carney column, July 30. I would just like to comment on the “Why have all the swallows disappeared?” col- umn by Margaret Carney. We live in Bowmanville and have had a family of swallows living in our eaves- trough for the last three years. Last year their were two babies in the nest and this year three babies. They seem to be the same family that returns each year. They have rebuilt the old nest each year. There are a lot of swallows flying around the field behind our backyard, so I am assum- ing there are more nests around also. It will be interesting to see if the swallows return next year as houses are being built in this field this year. Carol Ellis Bowmanville FREE SPEECH Cartoon an avenue to discuss ideas To the editor: Re: Insensitive cartoon based on incorrect story was offensive, Marie Suthers letter, July 30. The controversy over what is acceptable expression towards religious beliefs is not uncommon -- many will remember the recent Jyllands-Posten Muhammad car- toons controversy. Should religious beliefs hold a special place in the arena of ideas and beliefs? To what extent should any commentary directed towards any beliefs be restricted in a society that upholds free speech? The issue is complex. Regardless of our opinion about the cartoon, we should commend The News Advertiser for fostering free thought and open dialogue of all ideas and perspectives. Mark Witzel Brooklin TAX POLICY Get used to harmonization To the editor: The harmonization of the Ontario Pro- vincial Sales Tax and Federal Goods and Services Tax is very much akin to what the Americans are considering and the Brit- ish have already adopted. Such a tax raises dollars for Revenue Canada and has small- er impact demand on consumption within the economy. For those who would have us believe it would be better for us not to institute such a tax scheme, be it known that neither Tim Hudak, Andrea Horwath or Michael Ignatieff have indicated they would roll back these current tax changes should they or their party form the next government.. It’s a done deal here. Bruce Wood Oshawa WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com The Maids clean up so cancer patients don’t have to With all the heartbreak, pain and a million other worries a woman suffer- ing from cancer must undergo, having to deal with cleaning her house is one more problem she just doesn’t need. And thanks to a local small business with a big heart, she may not have to. The Maids Home Services, based out of Ajax, has decided to help out female can- cer patients by offering to come in and thoroughly clean their homes for them. The idea came to owner Lynn Mul- roy while she attended her parent company’s annual convention to col- lect an award for start-up of the year. She heard about Cleaning for a Reason, a charity based in Texas which matches women undergoing chemotherapy with local cleaning services. Ms. Mulroy signed up her service with Cleaning for a Reason and is awaiting the opportunity to begin the process. One local woman is currently undergoing registration. Once the process begins, she’ll be eligi- ble to have The Maids send a team of four to her house for a thorough three-hour scrubbing once a month for four months. It’s all part of trying to relieve one small part of the incredible stress a woman must go through while dealing with can- cer and suffering through chemo. “It speaks to our industry and it builds onto our objective to continue to support the community in a very direct way,” said Ms. Mulroy who added that, “the employ- ees are really excited by the (Cleaning for a Reason) venture, they really feel good about giving back.” The Maids are hoping that more women will take advantage of the program. For more information about Cleaning for a Reason, call 1-877-337-3348 or visit ww.cleaningforareason.org. The Maids, in the short time they have been in operation in Durham, have also been active in a number of community initiatives and charity projects. When the first Habitat for Humanity house went up in Durham, a Maids crew went in to clean the home up before the family moved in. There has also been an employee drive to help with Denise House, a shelter for women and chil- dren in Oshawa, and gift certificates pro- vided for Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Port Perry and the Special Olympics in Whitby. The Maids haven’t only been cleaning homes, they’ve also been scrubbing up help and dollars for charity and the com- munity. That makes this small business a big contributor in Durham. 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 • August 6, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 6, 20097 P ONE SIZE FITS ALL 10 DAYS ONLY! 10 DAYS ONLY!POWER PLAY EVENT!POWER PLAY EVENT!

June, July coldest in 17 years BY JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- If you’re waiting for summer weather to finally begin, you may have a long wait ahead of you, says a senior climatologist with Environment Canada. “I think we should just say that summer will arrive next summer,” David Phillips said Wednesday. After a June and July which have been, in Mr. Phillips’s words, “very disappointing,” there’s not a lot of reason to believe August will be much better. “The only hope I have is that we are as wrong with August as we were with the first half of the sum- mer.” In April, weather models showed the likelihood that summer could be a bit warmer and wetter than normal, but still likely drier than last year. “For those who thought last year was a bummer, this summer may be a hummer,” he said then. That hasn’t panned out. On average, temperatures in July were only about 1.7 C below nor- mal. “But that’s not the full story,” Mr. Phillips said. Cloud cover helped keep night temperatures fairly close to normal, but “the daytime highs have been almost 3C colder than normal.” Even when temperatures crept up to about 27C earlier this week, “it didn’t feel like it, because there wasn’t a huge amount of sun,” Mr. Phillips said. “It really has been a very cold July, the coldest in 17 years.” But though it may have felt like it, it really has been much drier than last year. As of Tuesday, about 74 millimetres of rain had fallen in July, compared to close to 300 mm last July. The problem is, it’s rained, to some degree, on 15 out of 28 days. “We had one major down burst, but most of them have just been lit- tle teasers and spoilers,” he said. But, he was looking on the bright side, pointing to lower air condi- tioning bills, more rainbows and a dearth of smog days.

AJAX SOCCER CLUB Tonnes of recycled newsprint destroyed BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Thousands of dollars worth of recycled newsprint were lost in a spectacular fire that destroyed a building near Oshawa’s waterfront Wednesday morning. “This is not a good day,” Michael Dennis, an officer with Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd., said as firefighters continued to douse the smoul- dering remains of the company’s leased stor- age facility on Farewell Street South. “We’ve lost a lot of money.” Mr. Dennis said the company had stored thousands of tonnes of newsprint, valued at an estimated $150,000, in the building. The newsprint was recovered from municipal blue box materials sorted and processed at the company’s plant in Peterborough. “I spent a lot of money buying co-mingled blue box material,” Mr. Dennis said, adding he’s now lost income he’d expected to reap from the sale of the recovered paper fibre. The sprawling wooden building, on prop- erty that used to house the Lantic Sugar refin- ery, went up in flames Wednesday morning. The ferocious fire produced a towering plume of smoke that was visible for miles. Close to the scene, the roar of the inferno was audible and spectators standing hun- dreds of metres away could feel heat from the flames. By 9 a.m. the structure was fully involved, with fire licking at wooden roof boards and rapidly devouring shingles. At about 9:15 a.m. the entire structure collapsed into a riot of intense fire and smoke that rose for hundreds of metres in a clear summer morning sky, obscuring the sun. Oshawa fire responded with about 30 fire- fighters and seven trucks, deploying aeri- al units to direct water toward the burning remains of the building, and also to douse an adjacent building that was spared. Susan King, spokeswoman for the Oshawa Fire Services, said the cause wasn’t immedi- ately known. There had been no injuries to either firefighters or civilians.

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is healing at the speed of light. LLLT is rapidly increasing in popularity within the medi- cal community because of its many beneﬁ ts and multiple ap- plications. Its effects on tissue regeneration are safe, fast, and painless. Laser therapy, also referred to as phototherapy or light therapy can increase your healing by 40 per cent. LLLT uses light energy that is absorbed into the body’s cells and results in an increase of tissue repair and signiﬁ cant pain reduction. Laser therapy focuses on an area of inﬂ ammation and can penetrate deeper than just icing alone. There is an increase of local blood ﬂ ow to the injured area which, in turn, reduces in- ﬂ ammation and swelling. Serotonin, the body’s natural pain reliever, is released. Some of the advantages of using LLLT in- clude that it is safer; there is no potential for burning the skin as it is a cold laser using milowatts (which produces very little heat). The treatment time is also much faster since there is direct contact with the skin, decreasing delivery time. Treatment using phototherapy is non-invasive, drug free, and natural. It can also eliminate the need for painful surgeries and drug side effects. The effects are often noticed after the ﬁ rst or second treatment. When it comes to treating conditions related to the foot, there are many. LLLT can be used to treat such acute and chronic con- ditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints, Arthritis, joint sprains and strains, neuromas, and muscle pains. Wounds of all types can also be successfully treated using light therapy. Phototherapy can also help speed up the healing of dia- betic wounds; thereby reducing the normal costs included with traditional wound treatments and dressings. Healing via the use of light has been around for over 30 years and can signiﬁ cantly help improve your quality of life for any- one experiencing injuries and pain. LLLT provides the extra energy needed for healing so you can get on with your life.

From low-fat, low-carb, to boxed foods and liquid diets, I’ve tried them all. Most of them I was successful with to a point.....but I wasn’t able to maintain my weight loss. I feel completely defeated! Tell me why I should try U Weight Loss, what makes it different? From Frustrated Answer: Dear Frustrated. I hear you and believe me, I know exactly how you feel because I have heard the same or similar story from almost all of my clients! Contrary to popular belief, losing weight is NOT the diffi cult part...keeping it off is where 95% of people fail. At U Weight Loss we recognize this and have created our program to ensure your success, and by success I don’t just mean weight loss.

Optimal health is about having energy, preventing disease, feeling great about yourself AND its long term. At U Weight Loss we support you every step of your journey to the new slim, healthy U! How do we do this you may ask, well a huge part of it is educating you on nutrition because knowledge is power and once you have it nobody can take that away from you. As I tell my clients, there is no quick fi x, no magic pill, no surgery, no fad diet that is going to get them to their goal. At the end of the day, getting to your goal weight and maintaining it is about learning to fi t real whole nutritious food and an active lifestyle into your busy life. I’m a nutritionist; food is my passion, come in to U Weight Loss in Ajax or Pickering and let me arm you with the knowledge to change your life!

Despite their recent success at the provin- cial tennis championships in Toronto, the younger of the two, Raheel, concedes that older brother Zain rules the roost. “My brother probably,” he says with a chuckle, noting that they practise together but don’t often play against each other. The two may one day progress to have the same kind of success the Williams sisters do on the professional circuit. At provincials, Raheel won the U12 junior singles and doubles title, while Zain reached the finals in the U16 division before losing in three sets. “I was a little nervous before the match. After I won, I was pretty excited,” says Raheel, who had to win five matches just in order to reach the finals in both singles and doubles. Ranked No. 2 in the province heading in to the singles draw, he defeated the No. 8 seed in straight sets in the final. The victories in both singles and doubles ensures him a spot a Nationals in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. The Alexander Graham Bell student, who will enter Grade 8 in September, began play- ing in Ajax, but is now a member of the Pickering Recreation Complex. He remembers getting interested in the game after tagging along with his dad and brother to the courts. “My dad took my brother to the courts to play and I saw them play and asked to join.” Zain, who will enter Grade 11 at Pickering High School, remembers the introduction into the sport. “My dad used to play and we went to play for fun at the public courts and I just liked it a lot,” recalls Zain. Prior to this year, Zain’s best showing at provincials was a seventh-place finish. To reach the final this year, and push the No. 1 seeded player to three sets, was quite an accomplishment. “My game was just on. I was surprised actually,” he says of the successful run. “I was really happy with how I played and the result.” Also a member at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex, Zain expects a tough draw at Nationals, which, for his age group, will be held in Mississauga. SABRINA BYRNES/METROLAND AJAX -- Zain and Raheel Manji competed at the Junior Provincial Tennis Championships and both have qualified for nationals. Raheel won the singles’ and doubles’ titles at provin- cials and Zain reached the finals before losing in three sets. SOCCER Hoekstra heading south on a soccer scholarship BOWMANVILLE -- Rebeccah Hoek- stra of Bowmanville has signed on to play soccer at Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina. The 5-foot-9 defender has signed a national letter of intent to attend FMU and play for the Patriot women’s team this fall. Hoekstra is a product of Claring- ton Central Secondary School and was named the Coyotes’ most valuable player three times during her prep career. She also played for the Ajax Soccer Club. “Rebeccah is a very strong and ath- letic player,” first-year coach Joel Person said in a press release. “She was the top prospect in the OYSL while playing with Ajax. I look for her to challenge for a starting spot this season.” Hoekstra joins a roster of 16 letter- winners, including eight starters, from last year’s 6-12-1 squad. The Patriots compete as NCAA Division I indepen- dents and play against other schools such as Davidson, North Carolina State, Winthrop and Liberty among others. JR. B LACROSSE Pickering’s Serville helps Green Gaels reach Ontario Final BOWMANVILLE -- The top two seeds from each conference will square off for the right to head to Edmonton for this year’s Founders Cup Jr. B national lacrosse championships. The Clarington Green Gaels, who booked their trip to the Ontario final with an 11-6 win over Halton Hills Sunday, will meet the Elora Mohawks who, like the Gaels, needed a fifth and deciding game to take out their previous oppo- nent, winning 8-5 at home over Six Nations Tuesday night. The two teams won’t pause much before they get going, opening the best-of-five final tonight at 8 p.m. at the Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex in Bowmanville. The Green Gaels should go in as favourites, after a dominating 19-1 regu- lar season in which they outscored their opponents 260-71 in the Eastern Con- ference. The Mohawks were the top team in the Western Conference, posting a 12- 5-3 record and a 170-116 goal differen- tial. Pickering’s Ryan Serville is one of the Green Gaels’ offensive cata- lysts, having scored 49 points in just 10 games. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 6, 200915 AP SOFTBALL Pickering to host provincial peewee championships Top teams in Ontario to converge at Kinsmen Park PICKERING -- Pickering is host- ing the Ontario Amateur Softball Association Provincial ‘A’ Pee- wee Boys Championship Tour- nament later this month.
