The Durham Agricultural Advisory Commit- tee held its seventh annual farm tour to show- case local agriculture. Pickering was its choice location this year, with the theme “redefining agriculture.” Around 130 guests, including gov- ernment, educational and public agency rep- resentatives, were treated to a tour of Hy Hope Farm, Greenwood Mushroom Farm in Ashburn, Dutchmaster Nurseries Limited in Brougham and Alsar Farms Inc. in Claremont. “The DAAC tour showcases the importance and diversity of the region’s agricultural sec- tor,” said Dave Risebrough, chairman of the farm tour. “With this initiative, we specifically encour- age a variety of political, government and edu- cational leaders to consider future growth from an agricultural perspective.” The advisory committee is comprised of vol- See LOCALLY page 4 NEWS 3 Raising a stink Residents rail at council against big pipe FEATURE 10 Secret life of beekeepers Reporter gets the buzz on bee business SPORTS 16 Panthers, Attack clash Ajax juniors work overtime for victory newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 23, 20092 AP WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING A PASSION FOR COMFORT Genuin Soft Leather, Absolute Comfort ¤ CALL ROSE 1-866-550-5462 CHILDCARE AVAILABLE www.durhamLINC.caTHEDURHAMCATHOLICDISTRICTSCHOOLBOARDCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL DURHAM Funded by: LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR NEWCOMERS TO CANADA Durham District School Board LOW HIGH Students who met or exceeded the Grade 3 Reading standard 2003/04 Queen Elizabeth, Oshawa E.

Philip Coffey, Oshawa St Anthony Daniel, Pickering More in Grade 3, 6, and 9 are meeting the standard BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Students in Durham’s public and Catholic schools are exceeding provincial averages in most areas. According to results released by the Education Quality and Accountability Office, the 2008-2009 crop of Grade 3 and Grade 6 students did better in reading, writing, and math than the previous year. Gains were also made in Grade 9. The charts accompanying this article show which schools had the highest, and lowest, percentage of stu- dents who met the standard in each area over the last six years. The standard is a level three or four (equiva- lent to a B or A). “Durham has closed the gap (in Grade 3) and is actually above the provincial average in all three cat- egories,” said Luigia Ayotte, a Durham District School Board superintendent. The Grade 3 provincial average is 61 per cent in read- ing, 68 in writing, and 70 in math. The Durham Dis- trict School Board achieved a 63 in reading, 69 in writ- ing, and 73 in math; and the Durham Catholic District School Board scored a 65 in reading, 69 in writing, and 72 in math. For Grade 6, the provincial average is 69 in reading, 67 in writing, and 63 in math. The public board’s is 72 in reading, 66 in writing, and 62 in math; whereas the Catholic board achieved a 75 per cent in reading, 76 in writing, and 71 in math. Both boards also made gains in Grade 9 math, with the public board going from 36 per cent last year to 39 this year in applied, and 68 to 70 in academic. The Catholic board went from a 33 to 34 in applied, and 68 to 76 in academic. The provincial average is 38 for applied and 77 for academic. To view the Grade 9 results, log on to www.durhamregion.com City residents fill council chambers to oppose Big Pipe BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After about seven hours of discussing the southeast collector trunk sewer (Big Pipe) expansion and its accom- panying odour control facility at Pickering’s packed City Hall Monday, council chose to seek legal action against York Region. The Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in south Pickering treats 94 per cent of York’s sewage, and York is seeking to expand the Big Pipe that carries the sewage, in order to accommodate York’s growing population. After Pickering residents, the community group Stop the Stink and council opposed the original planned location of the odour control facility in the Cherrywood West sub- division, York Region chose a new location just over the York-Durham line, between the Taunton-Steeles connection and 4th Con- cession Road. York Region Chairman Bill Fisch and Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson signed an agreement on the new location during summer break. The plans were then submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for an environmental assess- ment, which is currently being reviewed. “What it really comes down to is ‘in our face,’” said community activist and for- mer Pickering regional councillor Maurice Brenner. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell and Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean put forward a motion that staff launch legal action against York Region for breaching conditions set out in a memorandum of understanding Pickering and York signed in 2005 regarding the Big Pipe, and failure to carry out timely communication with resi- dents, which is a requirement of the Environ- mental Assessment Act. The memorandum also stipulates York treat its residents and the City fairly and with equal justice when mak- ing decisions on the Big Pipe. “The time for talk is over,” Coun. O’Connell said. “The time for action is now.” She recounted Pickering’s legal action it launched and won against the City of Toron- to to have the Brock West dump closed in 1996. Coun. McLean asked nearly every pub- lic speaker if they felt launching legal action would be a useful way to spend taxpayers’ dollars, and the residents unanimously said yes. Coun. O’Connell reminded everyone that the City was reimbursed for the cost of the 1996 action. After a lengthy debate by council, chang- es to some of the wording were made to the motion, including changing the words that council must “seek out” legal action instead of “pursue” legal action. After Coun. O’Connell feared the motion might be referred back to staff for informa- tion, she asked Jim Robb, executive director of the Friends of the Rouge Watershed, who’s been involved in similar legal actions in the past, for his opinion. “You don’t have much time to beat around the bush,” Mr. Robb said. While the City has its own solicitor, council directed staff to seek out all legal activity pro- vided by law, such as environmental lawyers. “You can’t be a jack-of-all-trades in these things,” Mr. Robb said, referring to the need for more legal opinions. Carla Thomas shared the reasons her neighbourhood, close to the proposed odour control facility, is precious to her. She com- mutes to Toronto for work each day and feels she already gets enough of the “putrid” smell there. “My home is a getaway from that,” she said. She added she’d hate to lose the local wild- life if the facility actually goes in. In the end, Coun. O’Connell and Coun. McLean did not support their own motion because they thought it had less impact after the changes, but council passed it nonethe- less. Another motion was passed by Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson request- ing the MOE halt its decision on the envi- ronmental assessment until an acceptable location is found for the odour control facil- ity, and that the study area be expanded to include areas south of Finch Avenue, which hasn’t been looked at. If it isn’t adhered to, council agreed to request a judicial review on the process. Council also passed Ward 2 City Council- lor Doug Dickerson’s motion that the City request financial contributions from the City of Toronto and the Rouge Park Alliance, which are also opposed to York’s actions. An update will be provided at the next council meeting. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 23, 20093 AP In the 72 hours following a death, 87 important matters of business become a difficult task for loved ones...

Five people are facing charges as a result of the seizures, which occurred when members of the Drug Enforcement Unit executed search war- rants, police said. More than 2,000 plants were discovered in the grow ops -- one located in a home and the other in an industrial unit. Saturday, DEU officers raided a residence on Lightfoot Place and discovered a sophisticated operation that saw pot growing on all three floors. Drug officers seized 2,143 plants valued at more than $2 million. Toronto residents Dacheng Liu, 61, Yong Su, 26, and Bi Feng Gag, 45, are charged with pro- duction and trafficking. On Monday, DEU cops searched an indus- trial unit on Clements Road in Pickering, seizing 137 plants valued at $137,000 and arresting two men at the scene. Jerzy Wasalinski, 35, of Toron- to and 27-year-old Artur Wasalinski, of Oshawa, are charged. Canine team puts bite on suspected drunk driver in Pickering PICKERING -- A police canine team tracked down a suspected drunk driver after he fled his vehicle on foot in Pickering early Sunday. Durham cops converged on Oklahoma Drive after a citizen called in to report a suspected drunk driver travelling south on Whites Road at about 1 a.m. The canine team arrived on scene after the tipster reported the driver had left his van and fled on foot. A man resisted arrest and was bitten by a police dog after he was found hiding in a back yard on nearby Abingdon Court, cops said. He was treated at hospital and released. Varatharasan Veluppilai, 40, of Goodall Drive in Scarborough, is charged with impaired driving, trespass by night and possession of counterfeit money.

Leading the tour’s first stop at Hy Hope were Lisa Bibb and her brother Stewart Bibb, the farm’s second generation of farmers since it was bought by the Bibb family in 1974. The farm supports them, their families and their parents, Dave and Carol. The family earns money by making Hy Hope as diverse as pos- sible. It has orchards with 20 different variet- ies of apples. The farm also features plums, pears, blueberries, toma- toes, squash and more, shorthorn cattle for beef sales, chicken for both meat and eggs sales, has an 18-hole golf course and offers tobogganing in the winter. Then there are the pies, bread and desserts baked daily. “Whatever we do, it’s to get people on the farm,” Mr. Bibb told a group of farm tourists. He explained that because of the farm’s location on the Oak Ridges Moraine, it has restrictions that limit its usage, such as the inability to host weddings. Technically, large groups of people cannot gather on the moraine for profit, he said. But with all of the environmental protections, it makes for a wonderful view, he said. “There are more advantages to being on the moraine than not,” Mr. Bibb said. Pat Olive, Durham’s commissioner for eco- nomic development and tourism, explained the vast elements on Hy Hope and others in Dur- ham benefit local tour- ism. “It brings them out,” he said. “We’re a day-trip market.” Also, since local food is full of nutrients and vita- mins, he said the healthy food benefits the work- force by maintaining health and preventing absenteeism. Mr. Bibb’s sister, who bakes pies and other goodies for sale at the store, said buying local food has jumped in popularity in the past year especially. Having started baking in 1980, the farm now makes jams, preserves, pies, butter tarts and other baked goods using mostly the “100-mile diet,” she said, meaning every- thing, except lard and sugar, is used from within 100 miles. “We only make apple pies when apples are in season,” Ms. Bibb said. Oshawa resident Sandy Rakestrow, a mem- ber of the Durham Food Charter, supports local agriculture. “Hearing so much about food coming into the country and making us ill has become a concern for me,” she said. She said healthy farming and healthy food make for a healthy economy. “Do I spend extra money on the food?” she said. “Absolutely.” The tour ended with dinner at Hy Hope fea- turing local fare, including its popular home- made pie for dessert.

Ajax, L1Z 1G1 905-427-7000 Homes repeatedly soggy following heavy rain BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It might not be until late October before some residents in Ajax and Whitby find out why their base- ments flood when there’s heavy rain. Consultants hired by Durham Region have finished most of their field work, including smoke testing and running a closed circuit camera through sanitary sewers. A joint works and finance committee heard a public meeting will be held in late October, with a final report going to Regional council in November. The November report will include costs for work needed to upgrade sewers so flood- ing doesn’t happen in the future. “Hard and fast solutions, we’ll show to the public in October,” said John Presta, the director of environmental services for the works department. “We’ve done extensive camera work in Whitby and Ajax,” Mr. Presta said. Homes on Lawrie Road in Ajax and Annes Streets in Whitby have been sub- jected to repeated flooding following major rainfalls. The most recent flood- ing happened in 2008. Ajax Regional Councillor Scott Craw- ford said, “Every time there’s a thunder- cloud over head, (residents) cross their fingers there’ll be nothing in their base- ments.” In March, the Region retained XCG Consultants to try and find the cause of the flooding. Some homes have had basement flooding several times. During the update on the situation, works commissioner Cliff Curtis said some work has been done, including the voluntary disconnection of downspouts at 25 of 84 affected houses. Anyone who hasn’t disconnected their downspout will have to do so by the win- ter, Mr. Curtis stated. If they don’t “I have the authority to order them to dis- connect.” Four or five homes may not be able to disconnect their downspouts because they are in a low area and “there’s no way for the water to flow out,” he noted. Disconnecting would cost a homeown- er about $100, Mr. Curtis stated. “I appreciate the work done so far. It looks like progress and we’ll have a worthwhile solution come November,” Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan said. “I’m a little disheartened it’s taken this long,” Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins stated. “In reality, these things are much more complicated than homeown- ers can expect,” Clarington Councillor and works committee chairman Charlie Trim said. “It’s better to do it right, have the information and do it in a systematic way.” The dates and locations for the meet- ings aren’t yet known.

Scott Milne Ajax HEALTH My child could die from an anaphylactic reaction To the editor: Re: Why no consideration for those children without allergies, Alison Campbell letter, Sept. 16. As a parent of a child with a severe nut allergy I am appalled at Alison Campbell’s lack of compassion and respect for the children at school. If a child eats nuts and then coughs on my child and she inhales that somehow then my child could have an anaphylactic reaction, which could result in her death. The problem of a picky eater can be solved. Unfortunately, I cannot change my child’s allergy. Trust me, if I could, I would. Finding a nut-free sandwich or snack is a small sacrifice to ensure the safety of chil- dren at school. I hope Ms. Campbell never has to stab an Epipen into the leg of a ter- rified child who cannot breathe, as I have. I know the teachers at school don’t want to. Most parents are understanding of our child’s allergy and probably would be hor- rified if their child’s sandwich resulted in the death of another child. I know I would be. Does Ms. Campbell lack the same empathy for the children at her school? Vanessa Falcon Ajax Social responsibility part of teaching your child To the editor: Re: Why no consideration for those children with no allergies, Alison Campbell letter, Sept. 16. I am shocked at the ignorance, selfishness and laziness Alison Campbell has expressed. Every day Alison’s child enters school, all staff and parents have a responsibility to care for her child’s safety. In many cases, people are prevented from engaging in behaviours that may not hurt that specific individual, but could potentially harm others. As a par- ent, you must teach your child basic social responsibility. Your child will also learn basic nutrition and become healthier by eating a wide variety of foods. Simple precautions that will not tax your time or imagination too much can be taken. Consider cheese, ham, chicken, pork or beef. If you are feeling really brave try tofu. Most children will learn to love it. Your child’s protein requirements will be met and no one gets hurt in the meantime. I am so disappointed that in this day and age we are still addressing this kind of thinking. How can anyone feel that an inconvenience, such as a minor change in diet at lunch time, can compare to something that is life-threat- ening to a child? Linda Fearon Greenwood Expense guidelines must be accessible to public The provincial government’s decision to put the public spotlight on the expenses of politicians and public officials is long over- due and welcome in an era when far too much abuse occurs. Premier Dalton McGuinty’s new guide- lines for travel, meals and hospitality expenses will reveal to taxpayers exact- ly who is spending how much money and what they are spending it on. The rules apply to senior managers, cabinet minis- ters, political staff and senior executives at Ontario’s 22 largest agencies. It’s not hard to see where this legislation has come from. Given the blitz of bad pub- licity the premier and his cabinet received over soaring expenses from eHealth private contractors, it was clear more accountability was called for. Taxpayers felt they were taken for a ride when consultants were being paid thousands of dollars a day and were billing a few bucks for a cookie here and a toonie for a latte there. Guidelines were obviously needed. The eHealth fiasco was immediately fol- lowed by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation scandal which saw problems with expenses run amok and the firing of its CEO, Kelly McDougald. She is now suing the Province for $9 million. The way forward is to make it clear to all public servants they must be accountable. That should include those who work at the municipal level. In Durham Region in recent years, there has been an outcry in Pickering where some residents have felt council- lors spend far too much each year. They are demanding accountability from their elect- ed officials, a clear and detailed explanation for why spending is necessary. It’s impor- tant the public be able to access the infor- mation online and in print, without having to jump through hoops. After all, politicians and staff must always remember, it’s not their own money they are spending, it’s tax- payers’ money. Taking care of that spend- ing is not too much to ask, especially when we are in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression. It’s also impor- tant that expenses be reported in context. The spending of $3,000 for a dinner for 30 staff at a local restaurant may look bad on an expense balance sheet until it’s revealed the group has been responsible for slashing $100,000 from its annual budget. Thorough and detailed reporting is clearly required to establish a fair playing field for all involved in the process. The new guidelines which will clamp down on public spending and close expense loopholes are essential. And thorough, effective provincial rules could be the tem- plate for municipalities to follow to protect taxpayers at the local level. 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 • September 23, 20096 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com WE ASKED After a nearly two-decade hiatus from the game, I have unexpectedly found myself falling back in love with golf. I’m not sure why the sudden turnaround. I used to golf a fair bit in high school. But I also wore platform shoes in high school and I haven’t felt the urge to drop by a Master John’s shop lately. Perhaps it’s because my children are older and more independent now or maybe it’s that I find myself with a little more leisure time on my hands. Or per- haps it has something to do with the fact that my wife has been taking lessons and I can’t stand the thought of her being better at it than me. Which I guarantee you, in spite of all my efforts, she will be. Whatever the reason, today I found myself doing something I could scarcely have imagined myself doing even a few months ago... buying a set of golf clubs. Purchasing a set of golf clubs is a fair- ly involved deal. In fact, if you do it the way that I did it, it’s tantamount to drop- ping your pants and undergoing a digital exam on stage at Massey Hall. At better golf shops they have these things called Golf Simulators. Although in my case they’re more aptly labelled Golfer Humiliators. They’re like little tented-off areas with a computer- generated fairway projected onto the rear wall. You stand on some astro turf with a rubber tee and whack your ball into the rear screen. The computer then, based on the veloc- ity and angle of your ball, shows, in lurid detail visible from the parking lot, all of your inadequacies. All that’s really missing is a loudspeak- er shouting “Hey guys, get a load of the doofus in room B!” I stepped inside and began to flail away. I knew I was mak- ing a spectacle of myself when I noticed cashiers drifting away from their stations to get a better look. Still, it’s an invaluable tool for sizing up your game, or lack of it, and helping the staff select an appropriate level of clubs for you to ruin. I was very fortunate in one aspect, how- ever. Joel, the young man who apparently lost the bet and had to serve me, was the picture of patience and tact. I’ve never seen anyone with better control of his laugh reflex. The kid was like a Yogi. And he was the first person in years to be able to tell me that although, like most golfers I’d been hitting right, I should probably hit left. And he deftly side-stepped the enormous opportunity for a crack about me swinging both ways. A stronger man than I. Almost an hour later I walked out of the store exhausted but happy. I’d been fit- ted with a very serviceable set of entry- level clubs, a putter and a golf bag. More importantly, I felt excited. There’s some- thing very vital to human beings in the acquisition of new skill-sets. It’s called growth and there’s nothing like it for making you feel alive. It’s not free, mind you. Nothing worth- while ever is. You almost always have to take a bath in humility at the outset, and I think that’s what stops most of us from trying something new, but then it just gets better and better. It’s good for us, especially as adults, to admit we don’t know everything. Even better when we have to admit that to or in front of a salesperson who could be our son. We’re all the same inside after all, even those of us who swing both ways. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Are you happy with the health care system? Why or why not? (from left) JUSTINE CSENGE -- ‘Yes. It’s meeting all of my needs.

You take things for granted when they are covered and paid for.’ SABRINA BYRNES / BEHIND THE LENS This picture was taken during an U12 tournament hosted by the Whitby Tennis Club . This particular player was very pas- sionate during his match and I couldn’t help but notice the facial expressions, particularly in this photo. He looked very determined to beat his opponent and I guess all that passion paid off because he did end up winning the match. As a golfer, I make a really good actor NEIL CRONE Private Jonathan Couturier came home Sunday, on the Highway of Heroes. If you haven’t attended the highway bridge ceremonies to honour Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, you should do so. Unfortunately, there will likely be more before Canada’s mission in that country ends. While the bridge ceremonies are very moving, they also offer a challenge for news- papers, which like to find new ways to cover the news. We have taken numerous pictures at the bridges, interviewed family mem- bers and friends of the soldiers and talked with people who just came out to pay their respects. We’ve spoken in the newsroom about different ways to cover this important event and, as often happens, this past week one simply fell into our lap. HMCS Ville de Quebec was in Oshawa harbour Wednesday as part of a six-week tour to raise awareness about the navy. On the same day the ship was in dock, Private Patrick Lormand was making his way home along the Highway of Heroes. No one in the office had really put two and two together until one of our manag- ers said he’d been at a fire station and said the firefighters were wondering if the sailors would be attending the bridge tribute. Pho- tographer Jason Liebregts was on his way to the ship to take pictures of the tours so we asked him to find out if they were planning to attend. He called back a few minutes later and said they were, but no one knew which bridge they’d be at. We quickly dispatched reporters Crystal Crimi and Stefanie Swin- son, along with co-op student Emily Wrig- glesworth, to get down to the ship and find out which bridge they would be on. As they arrived, a bus load of sailors was just leaving the ship, so the three followed them to their destination and what we ended up with was a very poignant story with video which you can see on our website at newsdurhamre- gion.com. In fact, it was simply a query from a cab driver to one of the sailors that made them aware of the event. As often happens in the news business, two little comments led to a great story.

Durham residents urged to attend annual gala in Toronto DURHAM -- Funds to help fight spinal muscu- lar atrophy are going to be raised casino style on Sept. 26. SMA destroys motor neurons, the nerve cells that control the body’s muscles. In severe cases, the loss of strength leads to death, usually by the age of two. In chronic, longer-term forms, chil- dren are generally wheelchair-bound. More than 28,000 North Americans are afflicted with SMA and it kills more babies than any other genetic disease. But there’s hope for a cure, and FightSMA, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to rais- ing funds for research and awareness of the dis- ease. The SMA gene was discovered in 1995 and rapid advances have followed. And for the past 10 years, the gala hosted by FightSMA’s Whitby chapter (known locally as Tori’s Buddies) has raised around $800,000. All funds raised go to research and awareness for parents and the med- ical profession. This year’s event, the CML Healthcare Casino Gala to Fight SMA, will take place at the Distillery District Fermenting Cellar (55 Mill St., Toronto) at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26. The black-tie event will consist of live music, a live auction, dancing, champagne, a raffle and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets are $125 per person (tax receipts are not offered for the tickets). Those who make monetary donations of $10 or more will get a tax receipt.

Lindsay, 17, raised more than $8,500 for the 100 School Chal- lenge through the charity Free the Children. She was one of four youths honoured at the Terry James Youth Volunteer awards Sept. 18 at Glen Cedars golf course in Claremont. The awards recog- nize kids between the ages of six and 18 who are residents in Dur- ham Region and who have dem- onstrated leadership in volun- teering within their community. Cameron Harris, 18, of Pickering, was given the com- munity/social services award for his long service as an assis- tant leader for Scouts Canada. He’s helped out with camps for both Beavers and Cubs and has also taught Sunday school at his local church for a number of years. Pickering resident Emily Har- ris, 16, was also recognized with the community/social services award. She has volunteered for many years with organizations like Sparks, Guides, Scouts and Venturers. The Grade 11 student has accumulated more than 100 hours of volunteer service. Arlen Recana was the young- est youth honoured with a vol- unteer award. The 11 year old, from Brooklin, was given the performing arts award for being such a vital member of his local church. He is the main guitarist at all of St. Leo The Great’s cel- ebrations. Terry James was described by the awards selection committee as a “volunteer extraordinare.” In 2001, he spearheaded the International Year of the Volun- teer recognition program and was involved in countless activ- ities throughout the commu- nity. He was a leader of Special Olympics swim meets, helped with fundraising efforts for the Charles Best Diabetes Centre and served as director of the Durham Seniors’ Games. Mr. James passed away after a battle with multiple myeloma, a particularly virulent cancer, in November of 2006. The Terry James Youth Vol- unteer awards banquet was attended by more than 100 sup- porters and volunteers, includ- ing Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and MPP Wayne Arthurs.

Like most people, my only experiences with bees have involved an unmistakably sharp prick against my skin, followed by a burning sensation and then relentless itching for days. But some people, like Ian Critchell of Whitby, have a sweeter taste in their mouth from coming in contact with bees. “People see a bee and they want to kill it because they’re seen as a nuisance but there’s a lot more to them and a lot of purposes they serve in our environment,” says the 48-year-old beekeeper, as he gingerly inspects a wooden frame he’s removed from a hive, lined with honeycombs crawling with thousands of bees. I joined Mr. Critchell on a warm afternoon in August at Pistritto’s Farm and Greenhouses on Brock Road in Pickering, which is just one of about a dozen locations across Durham where he handles his bees. As we approach the swarm, he warns me that the overcast skies have contributed to the bees being particularly aggressive today. Great, I think, yet his casual tone sets me at ease. Mr. Critchell took on beekeeping as a hobby in 1982 while living in England but since then, has transformed the activity into a business endeavour with the sale of the honey he extracts. Local farmers also tend to regard bees in a positive light, with many of them welcom- ing the opportunity to have colonies on their property as they understand the impact it can have on their crops through pollination and the increase of bio-diversity. “I strongly believe that a lot of my crops have improved since I’ve had Ian’s bees here over the last few years, especially my tomatoes,” says farmer Paul Pistritto. But not just any farm is suitable for a colony of bees, says Mr. Critchell, explaining how one of the biggest challenges for beekeepers today is keeping the creatures alive. Recent years have left beekeepers feeling the sting of great- er reliance on pesticide use and industrial farming practices, as well as a variety of other causes that have led to a 35 per cent drop in the overall bee population across Canada. “Bees are just disappearing so what you actually have to do today is be an environmentalist by becoming more aware of how your bees are being taken care of and by keeping track of everything that’s within a two-mile radius of wher- ever they live,” he said. As protective of his bees as Mr. Critchell may be, he still understands the fear associ- ated with them after already being stung twice that day -- one on his leg and the other on his lip. “You don’t curse as much anymore and you just get used to it,” he said with a laugh. “You’re not immune to it because it still stings but you don’t react with the same type of shock. Eventually, you realize they’re really not that bad.” For more information: VISIT www.beeman.ca What It’s Like...

Politicians from the municipal, provincial and fed- eral levels of government gathered at the Region of Durham’s Whitby headquarters on Sept. 3 to cel- ebrate the completion of one new social housing building in Uxbridge and announce that four more projects are underway in Oshawa and Ajax. “The waiting list for housing is very long, we have about 4,000 families waiting,” said Hugh Drouin, the Region’s commissioner of social services. “This announcement is very important, it may not seem like a lot when you look at that waiting list, but it will help.” The projects just getting underway include an 82- unit building on Station Street in Ajax geared for peo- ple with low incomes, a 29-unit building on Bloor Street East in Oshawa for people with low incomes or special needs, a 32-unit building on King Street East in Oshawa for people with low incomes or spe- cial needs and a 12-unit building on Ritson Road South in Oshawa for people with low incomes. The nearly completed project is located on Perry Street in Uxbridge and houses five units for seniors. The new projects are all at different stages of devel- opment. John Spina is the project manager for the Bloor Street building in Oshawa, and said he hopes to have tenants moving in by next spring, but a lot will depend on weather conditions. “This has been a long process, we submitted our application in April of 2008,” he said. “We’re finally breaking ground now and we’re very excited. This is something the community needs very much.” Debbie McCord, manager of social housing oper- ations with the Region, said rent for the new units won’t be geared to income. Instead, tenants will pay 80 per cent of the aver- age rent in their municipality, as determined by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

CCHL Panthers limp out of gate While Pickering struggles, Ajax looks solid early on in Jr. A hockey season BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If nothing else, the Pickering Panthers showed over the weekend that they can fire pucks on goal with the best of them. Unfortunately, not enough of those shots are finding the back of the net right now, resulting in a winless start through first six games of the Central Canadian Hockey League season. Their strongest effort came Saturday after- noon as part of the Early Bird Showcase event in Bowmanville as the Panthers fired 53 shots at Upper Canada College goalten- der Matt O’Connor, but were held without a goal in a 4-0 loss. “When you throw that many shots on goal and you don’t score, what are you going to do?,” said Panthers coach Bill Brady. “It just seems to be our luck right now.” And even when they are scoring, the time- ly goals aren’t coming as they dropped a game to the Ajax Attack, 5-4 in a shootout Friday night. Needless to say, winless though six games isn’t anywhere close to the start Brady and his team envisioned. “I think all but the Cobourg game (an 8- 1 loss) have been winnable,” he said. “We didn’t expect this kind of start at all.” Despite the dismal start to the campaign, Brady thinks he has identified one of the big problems to date, and hopes by the time his club hits the ice for their next game, Friday at home tothe Whitby Fury, things will be rectified. “We’ve got to tighten up,” he said. “We’ve been a little lazy in our own zone and we’re not willing to pay the price yet so we’ve got some work to do this week in taking care of our own zone and not allowing all the scor- ing opportunities we’re giving the other teams.” Against Ajax it was a slow start that came back to haunt the Panthers as they allowed three Attack goals in a span of just over 10 minutes in the first period. They rebounded later, said Brady, but it wasn’t enough. “We had a bad start in the first, but in the second and third, the guys played well. We played well enough to win and we did actu- ally go up 4-3 but took a couple of late, ques- tionable, penalties ... I thought we deserved better and thought we played well but that’s just how it went.” On the flip side, it’s been a solid start to the campaign for the Attack, owners of a 3- 2-0 mark through their first five games of the season. However, the showcase weekend wasn’t all that kind to them either as they fell 4-2 to the Dixie Beehives. Tied 2-2 after 40 minutes, the Attack allowed a pair of third-period goals, one on the power play, to fall behind and lose. Messages left with Attack head coach Carey Durant were not returned to the News Advertiser prior to deadline. Their next action also comes Saturday as Wellington visits for a 3 p.m. affair at the Ajax Community Centre. THE SCOOP: Goal scorers for the Ajax on Friday were Brett Eagleson, Jordan Reed, Blake Boddy and Jacob Valiquette, while Reed scored the shootout winner ... Pickering goals were scored by Evan Haga, Blair Falotico, Cole Watkins and Khalid Alli ... In the loss to Dixie, Ajax received goals from Boddy and Jake Bannister ... The Panthers have acquired Mike Shirley from the Whitby Fury in a waiver transaction ... The Attack is also in action on Sunday, host- ing the Stoufville Spirit, 3 p.m. at the ACC, while the Panthers are in action too as they make the short trip to Bowmanville to play in the Eagles in a 6:30 p.m. game. at the Rec- reation Complex. RON PIETRONIRO/METROLAND PICKERING -- Blake Boddy of the Ajax Attack was turned away on a scoring opportunity by Pickering Panthers goaltender Anthony Kimlin in recent Central Canadian Hockey League action. However, Boddy and the Attack would enjoy the last laugh as they defeated the Panthers 5-4 in a shootout. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 23, 200917 AP GIRLS Team Location Date Time Coach U8 Girls – Born 2002 Princess Diana 2 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3 9 am - 11 am Naso Poposki 905-428-6377 U9 Girls – Born 2001 Chris Graham 2 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3 9 am - 11 am Barry Donnelly 416-451-1465 Peter Hogg 905-509-4538 Gavin Dowse Mario Couthino 416-276-7722 U10 Girls – Born 2000 Chris Graham 3 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3 9 am - 11 am Andy Hing 905-428-7011 U11 Girls – Born 1999 Kinsmen 1 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3-4 11 am - 1 pm Alfonso Garcia 905-239-0435 Fabian DeNobrega 905-831-7614 U 12 Girls – Born 1998 Kinsmen 3 Kinsmen Turf Oct. 1 Oct. 4 Oct. 6 6:30 pm - 8 pm 1 pm - 3 pm 6:30 pm - 8 pm Richard Lissone 905-421-0030 Bibi Anthony 905-509-9629 U13 Girls – Born 1997 Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen 3 Oct. 3-4 Oct. 7 11 am - 1 pm 6:30 pm - 8 pm Gene Gesualdo 905-509-1988 Phil Marmina 905-420-6236 U14 Girls – Born 1996 Princess Diana-Large Kinsmen Turf Sept. 27 Oct. 4 2 pm - 4 pm 1 pm - 3 pm Michelle White - OYSL 416-918-9525 Ray Joseph 416-281-0001 U15 Girls – Born 1995 Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen 3 Sept. 26 Oct. 3 - 4 11 am - 1 pm 11 am - 1 pm Charlie Salvagna 905-686-8477 U16 Girls – Born 1994 Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen 3 Oct. 2 Oct. 8 Oct. 6 7 pm - 9 pm Nixon Bernardino - OYSL 905-801-2458 Paul Caruana 905-683-9766 U17 Girls – Born 1993 Kinsmen 2 Sept. 26 Oct. 3 - 4 5 pm - 7 pm David DeSouza 416-831-9451 U18 Girls – Born 1992 Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen 3 Sept. 26 Oct. 3 - 4 5 pm - 7 pm Anton Passchier 905-837-1986 BOYS Team Location Date Time Coach U8 Boys – Born 2002 Princess Diana 2 Oct. 3 - 4 11 am - 1 pm Jim Lush 416-986-2424 U9 Boys – Born 2001 Chris Graham 2 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3 11 am - 1 pm Hany Aboul Nour 416-731-4226 U10 Boys – Born 2000 Chris Graham 3 Sept. 26-27 Oct. 3 11 am - 1 pm Tony La Ferrara 416-835-0269 Kerwin Skeete 416-716-1469 Ed Whitehead 905-427-2405 U11 Boys – Born 1999 Kinsmen 1 Sept. 26 Oct. 3-4 9 am - 11 am Gord Smith 905-509-3284 David Lo Presti 905-655-6486 Stephen Benjamin U12 Boys – Born 1998 Princess Diana-Large Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen 2 Sept. 27 Oct. 1 Oct. 6 12:30 pm - 2 pm 6:30 pm - 8 pm 6:30 pm - 8 pm Mirco Schroff 905-686-4694 U13 Boys – Born 1997 Kinsmen Turf Sept. 26 Oct. 3-4 9 am - 11 am Desmond Warner 416-356-3859 Howard McCalla 416-859-6208 U14 Boys – Born 1996 Kinsmen Turf Princess Diana Large Sept. 25 Sept. 26-27 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm 5 pm - 7 pm Bill Jahshan 905-509-2947 Doug Choffe 905-409-2730 U15 Boys – Born 1995 Kinsmen 3 Kinsmen Turf Sept. 26 Oct. 3 - 4 5 pm - 7 pm Ramin Mohammadi - OYSL 416-890-8842 Ed Whitehead 905-427-2405 Isidore Decario 905-420-9764 U16 Boys – Born 1994 Kinsmen 2 Kinsmen Turf Sept. 30 Oct. 4 and 7 7 pm - 9 pm Corrado Roccasalva - OYSL 416-573-5386 Ramin Mohammadi 416-890-8842 U17 Boys – Born 1993 Kinsmen Turf Sept. 26 Oct. 3-4 3 pm - 5 pm Mike Campitelli 905-426-0835 Asif Thawer 647-223-9174 U18 Boys - Born 1992 Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen Turf Kinsmen Turf Sept. 30 Oct. 5 Sept. 30 Oct. 5 Sept. 26 Oct. 3 7 pm - 9 pm Derrick Keise 416-453-0932 Fabian Best 905-686-7152 John DeBenedictis 905-420-1476 2009-2010 COMPETITIVE FALL TRYOUT SCHEDULE Pickering Soccer Club Inc. 1735 Bayly Street – Unit 14 Pickering, Ontario L1W 3G7 (905) 831-9803 Fax (905) 831- 8968 www.pickeringsoccer.ca TRAIN SMART • PLAY HARD • HAVE FUN DO YOU WANT TO EXTEND YOUR PLAYING SEASON?

Scouts, player person- nel directors and general managers from the eight Canadian Football League teams rate the players throughout the season in advance of next spring’s CFL evaluation camp and Canadian draft. In his third year of eligi- bility with the Nova Scotia university, Foster was an AUS offensive all-star last season and led the X-Men in receiving yards. He was second overall in the AUS in receptions with 32, receiving yards with 574 and receiving yards per game at an average of 82 and also ranked first in the AUS in yards per catch with an impressive mark of 17.9. He was a participant in the 2009 East West Bowl, the game featuring stu- dent-athletes eligible for the CFL draft. Foster caught the game- winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in the X-Men’s 24-19 open- ing season win over the Saint Mary’s Huskies.

The battle for the Under 16 Boys Tier 1 Championship also would determine which team will represent Ontario in the annual National Club Championships taking place this fall in Manitoba. Very early in the game, the Gunners made it known that they were ready, willing and able to undertake the trip north. Ajax applied maximum pressure from the starting whis- tle with a lot of the action taking place in the Wexford half. The intensity paid off when Scott Williams connected with a header to the back post and put the Gunners on the scoreboard with a 1-0 lead. The Gunners’ second goal came off a goal- keeper deflection into the crossbar which dropped at Stefano Tino’s feet who sent it to the back of the net. Both teams upped the pace and intensi- ty in the second half as the Heat struggled to get back into contention. However, Ajax maintained control and continued to press throughout the second half and in the 73rd minute, Boyd Reid grabbed a pass from inside and shot it through the five hole. The final goal of the game was a Gunner’s dream as Brandon Chiu converted on a long ball and launched a missile from 35 yards out which sailed over the keeper’s hands. The Wexford crew tried valiantly to create a couple of chances, but was unable to capi- talize and fell 4-0 without penetrating the Gunners’ defenses. At the final whistle, the Ajax Gunners were crowned 2009 Ontario Cup Champions. “It’s a four-month-long competition where you play the best teams in the province. Our boys have been travelling around the U.S. for the last year preparing themselves for this event,” said coach Tom Croft on the Ontario Soccer Association website in regards to the road to the finals. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 23, 200919 AP REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Job Summary: The purpose of this position is to assist the Director of Distribution to plan, direct, administer, control and co-ordinate all aspects of distribution, and circulation ensuring the profi table and timely distribution of our products.
