Ms. Carpino was at the Pickering Museum Village recently.Pickering to blow out 200 candles CITY PLANS FOR BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION IN 2011 BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- On March 4, 2011, the City of Pickering will celebrate 200 years. And the City has a number of events planned to mark the milestone. On Monday, Council approved the Pickering bicentennial program, which is stacked with a number of activities for families. “It’s a unique experience to achieve 200 years,” said Marisa Carpino, the acting divi- sion head of culture and recreation. “We’re very lucky to be one of the few generations that can celebrate this type of milestone in our community.” The City mostly plans to go ahead with its usual annual events, but with bicentenni- al themes and branding tacked onto them to keep costs down. “To respect residents who are having a chal- lenging time, this is not going to be an exten- sive celebration, but a unique opportunity of celebrating these years,” Ms. Carpino said.

Mourners arriving at a memorial service for the boy, Osha- wa’s first homicide victim of 2010, walked through a cold driz- zle into a chapel filled with an air of palpable grief, brought on by his sudden and violent passing. The two-and-a-half-year-old child was found dead in an Oshawa home Jan. 5 by police responding to an emergency call. Michael Monckton, 26, who lived in the basement flat on Southgate Drive with the boy’s mother, has been charged with second-degree murder. There was no hint of animosity toward the accused man during Friday’s service. Rather, speakers urged those touched by the boy’s death to take solace in his brief life and the joy he brought them. And they offered words of support for Keagan’s parents, Leigh-Ann Cooper and Daniel Davis. “If life is soured by bitterness ... we have no peace,” Reverend Elwyn Hughes told those assembled for the service. Mourners filled the chapel and spilled into the lobby of the funeral home, where dozens of pictures of Keagan -- laugh- ing, splashing in a lake with his mom; dressed up for Hallow- een; and as a newborn, cradled in his dad’s arms -- were dis- played. “No one should have to go through this,” Keagan’s grandfa- ther, Steven Cooper, said as he eulogized the boy he’d nick- named Stringer for the lanky build he inherited from his par- ents. “But together we should all be able to try and cope with what’s happened these last 10 days.” Grandmother Deborah Cooper sobbed as she remembered the child. “You’re in a safe place now,” she said. “We had a special bond, the two of us, and I’ll never forget that.” Keagan’s father, Daniel, spoke simply and movingly in recalling a boy who “loved everybody. “I’m going to miss my son,” he said. “I’m going to think about him every day. “I want to say thank you to Leigh-Ann for giving me the best son ever,” Mr. Davis said. The service took place across the street from the courthouse in which Mr. Monckton had appeared by video two days ear- lier. He’s being held at the Central East Correction Centre in Lindsay where his lawyer has said he’s been the target of ver- bal abuse by fellow inmates and guards. His next court date is Jan. 20. Among those joining the mourners Friday were the Dur- ham homicide cops who investigated the boy’s death. Keagan died Jan. 5 and an autopsy a day later confirmed he was the victim of foul play. News of the murder came as a shock to many living in the quiet east Oshawa neighbour- hood, where most residents said they weren’t familiar with the people living in the basement apartment. Residents said they’d seen an ambulance in the area, and noticed a police cruiser idling outside the home, but hadn’t imagined any- thing so awful had occurred. Friday, only sadness prevailed as Keagan’s family and loved ones said goodbye. As the service ended just before noon, the sun broke through a leaden sky and they gathered outside to watch the boy’s tiny white coffin carried to a hearse. The dozens gathered there clutched white balloons as they watched. When the funeral cortege pulled away from the cha- pel and turned on to King Street, they released the balloons. One by one, they were swept skyward by a breeze from the west and carried aloft, soaring until they became tiny specks, then vanished from sight.

Two victims, a man aged 25 and a 24-year-old woman, were threatened and pistol whipped during the ordeal. Police said the victims were con- fronted as they arrived home just before 2 a.m. The woman was shot at but not injured, police said. Toronto cops responding to the scene arrested two sus- pects. Jerome Quayson and Christian Rose, both 18 and from Ajax, face charges including attempted murder, robbery and weapons offences. Police seek tips in Pickering drive-by shooting PICKERING -- Police are seeking information from the pub- lic as they investigate a drive-by shooting that saw a Pickering resident nearly hit by a bullet in early January. Someone fired a gun at a home on Brock Road south of Taunton Road in the early-morning hours of Jan. 3 before speeding off in a vehicle, Durham police said.

Two masked men burst into the Pickering Food Fair store on Kingston Road about 10:45 p.m. and rushed behind the counter to overpower the clerk, Durham police said. One ban- dit held the victim’s arm while the other pointed a gun at his head. The bandits emptied the cash register and fled on foot. A police search of the area failed to turn up any suspects.

This input will be gathered every three years as required by Policy. Please contact your local school to determine when and how you may provide input by completing a survey." Parents are requested to bring available health records on immunization, allergies, etc. The Ministry of Education confirmed the Early Learning Program Sites for Junior and Senior Kindergarten classes of the Durham Catholic District Board. The following Catholic Schools were confirmed by the Ministry of Education as Early Learning Program sites: Monsignor Philip Coffey Catholic School - Oshawa, St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic School - Whitby, St. Bernadette Catholic School – Ajax, Holy Redeemer Catholic School - Pickering, Immaculate Conception Catholic School - Port Perry. Details regarding the before and after school extended day program associated with Early Learning have yet to be provided by the Ministry of Education and will be released to school communities once received. Schools will provide available details at registration. Registration is scheduled in each Catholic elementary school during the week of January 25th to January 29th, 2010. In addition to the Early Learning Program, the Durham Catholic School Board will pilot all day Junior and Senior Kindergarten classes. These schools were considered for the Early Learning Program, based on Ministry of Education criteria, but were deferred at this time due to the five year implementation cycle. The piloting schools will have all day Junior and Senior Kindergarten classes staffed by classroom teachers operating during normal school hours. This model is consistent with a pilot program implemented at Msgr. Philip Coffey Catholic School in Oshawa for the last two years. The following schools will offer this pilot commencing September 2010: St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School - Oshawa , St. Hedwig Catholic School – Oshawa, St. John the Evangelist Catholic School – Whitby, St. James Catholic School – Ajax, Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School - Pickering , Holy Family Catholic School – Beaverton.

For three nights last week, he slept outside on concrete with scores of others in a huge Port-au-Prince park called Champs de Mars. Haiti’s earthquake had left them homeless. The Haitian-Canadian Wheel-Trans driver was on vacation visiting family and friends. He was safe the entire time but unable to contact his family here. Mr. Jean-Baptiste didn’t eat or drink the entire time he was without shelter in Haiti. Not that he felt hunger or thirst at all. Those feelings were lost amid the horror around him. “I’ve never seen dead people,” Mr. Jean- Baptiste, 32, said Monday, describing the countless bodies and limbs he saw as he walked in the capital with about 20 relatives. An arm here, a severed head there, a bloat- ed body somewhere else. “When I walked, I just tried to look straight ahead, but I was stepping on (bodies). It was unbelievable,” he said. At one point, Mr. Jean-Baptiste came upon a man simply standing and hold- ing an infant. Apparently, the child was left behind when the parents fled in panic after a rumour spread that a huge ocean wave was coming to flood the area. The horror began the evening of Jan. 12 when Mr. Jean-Baptiste was visiting with his cousin, Katia, and her friends and family. He suddenly felt the ground shake and some- one screamed “earthquake.” Mr. Jean-Bap- tiste ran outside and held onto a post while the earth convulsed. Portions of the house fell on the others, but everyone got out safely. In fact, none of Mr. Jean-Baptiste’s family living in other parts of the island were killed in the calamity. On Jan. 15, he went to the Canadian embassy, registered, and ate his first meal - - water and biscuits. He flew out of the coun- try Saturday. His wife, Maud Beaunissant, was relieved when Katia called Saturday to say he was on his way home. She had suffered through four days of agony not knowing whether her husband was dead or alive. When Mr. Jean-Baptiste arrived at his Ajax home Saturday evening, the first thing he did was run upstairs and take a shower. He hadn’t had one since Tuesday. Then he hugged his wife, and sons Lucas, 10, Ethan, 5, and Edem, 2. Though Mr. Jean-Baptiste hopes to return someday to Haiti, it won’t be for a while, he said. Right now, he can’t even read or watch news about the earthquake because it brings the whole experience back, and terri- fies him.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions RESOLUTIONS Sometimes feeling bad is just unavoidable despite good intentions To the editor: Re: My resolution is to feel good this year, Neil Crone column, Jan. 13. Normally, I look forward to reading Neil Crone’s columns. I always find a good message in them and they make me smile. However, I found myself disturbed by some of his comments; in particular, resolving “not to hang around with or onto people who make me feel bad or who seem to enjoy feeling bad,” as well as, “there is always a choice. “And given that, why would any of us choose to feel bad.” This surround yourself only with posi- tivity mantra seems to have pervaded our society in the last few years, which would be fine except for the fact that life is not always positive. Last year, I experienced a major life cri- sis which almost completely devastated me. I did not choose to feel bad nor did I enjoy feeling bad, but I certainly felt bad anyway. In addition to professional help, what got me through was those friends and family who were willing to listen to me, walk with me, talk with me, support me, encourage me, motivate me and keep me going through many dark hours. Had they decided to walk away from me because they thought I was choosing to feel bad, or because my emotional state might have caused them to feel bad, I’m not sure where I would be right now. I will be forever grateful to those people for not abandoning me and for helping me survive a very dark period. Because of them, I too can say my res- olution is to feel good this year. If that means being ready to help someone else who is feeling bad, I will welcome that opportunity with open arms. Eva McLean Pickering FEDERAL POLITICS Liberals want to waste money on prorogue debate To the editor: Re: Shutdown a way to avoid tough ques- tions, Kevin Smith letter, Jan. 10; Parliament prorogued to avoid Conservative scandals, Michael Maynard letter, Jan. 11. Kevin Smith thinks Stephen Harper pro- rogued Parliament to avoid tough questions about Afghan detainees. Mr. Smith should realize the Afghan detainees were tortured by the Afghan government and not the Canadi- an government, so the government has noth- ing to avoid in this instance. The Liberal insis- tence to waste our tax money on this issue is laughable. The Liberals seem to care more about Afghan detainees than the Canadian soldiers who are putting their lives on the line and dying. Michael Maynard goes on to sug- gest Parliament was prorogued so avoid scru- tiny over the government’s many scandals. What scandals? The only political scandal in recent Canadian history is the Liberal spon- sorship scandal. Wilfred Camilleri Oshawa EMPLOYMENT CAW member feels let down despite GM’s plans To the editor: Re: GM making good decision with latest plans, Bob Teefy letter, Jan. 8. It is a very good idea that General Motors has decided to make use of the old truck plant but what we are not being told is that the company is not creating new jobs. GM is laying all kinds of people off, myself included, so it can pay people less to do the same job. I’m a CAW member and I don’t see them protecting my job. Chris Sadler Clarington Proper procedures must be followed with public information Privacy commissioner rules Region must encrypt data on storage devices While it’s too late to protect the 83,524 people whose information was stored on a lost USB key, the order by Ontario’s pri- vacy commissioner that all data must be encrypted in future makes sense. The ruling by Dr. Ann Cavoukian came down last week after a memory device with the health information, names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and names of doctors of people vaccinated against H1N1 flu was lost by a public health nurse in the parking lot at Durham Region- al headquarters. The device, which con- tained information on all those who had received the shots at regional health clinics this past fall, has not been found. The Region sent out letters of apology to all those affected by the incident at a cost to taxpayers of $44,808.62. Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson said: “An apology doesn’t sound like it’s enough, but unfor- tunately, that’s all that’s at our disposal now.” But the privacy commissioner seemed taken aback that the Region was still using mobile devices that contained unencrypt- ed information. She called it, “both dis- tressing and unacceptable.” Indeed, any device that contains such sensitive information should have been subject to encryption. Human error, such as losing small devices, is always a possi- bility, particularly when someone is trans- porting them from one place to another. To ensure that a lost or stolen device that might fall into the wrong hands doesn’t get used for nefarious purposes, a proper encryption program is vital. That should have been done before this unfortunate incident occurred, but wasn’t. Mr. Anderson said, “numerous errors by numerous people resulted in this prob- lem,” but he didn’t go into further detail except to provide assurances that “many of the orders (from the privacy commission) will be acted on without question.” It’s still hard to understand why the Region didn’t follow its own protocols but Dr. Cavoukian’s solution to the problem offers answers going forward. Just to be sure the Region is following the new rules laid down by the privacy com- missioner, a report on how the new rules are being followed is due by Feb. 16. We should expect all Regional employees will follow the new rules to ensure sensitive information does not become exposed. There should be no repeat of the Dec. 16 incident. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up their statements with verifiable facts / 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 • January 20, 20106 P WE ASKED There will be much said about the possi- bility of a strike by college professors across Ontario. Those outside the system may not fathom why anyone would vote for a strike in this economic climate. Those inside the sys- tem know what is at the core of almost every strike vote in the education system whether it be grade school teachers or college profes- sors: the quality of education in this province. I can only hope regardless of what is said by the spin doctors and those outside the system, those inside the system who need to work together to ensure a strike is averted will be guided by one simple principle: respect for each other. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, but one that rarely gets used in any genuine fash- ion these days and for the life of me, I cannot understand why it is so difficult to demon- strate. I have tremendous respect for my students, the vast majority of whom are struggling to overcome monumental hurdles to attend col- lege in the hope of ensuring a good future for themselves and their current or future fami- lies. I have tremendous respect for my col- leagues, the vast majority of whom gladly accept the enormity of the responsibility they have to provide those same students with the best possible learning experiences they can in the hope of ensuring their students leave col- lege fully prepared and equipped to take on the challenges that await them. And, I have respect for the people charged with man- aging the administration of post secondary education in what is undoubtedly one of the toughest economic times anyone in their for- ties or fifties has seen. None of us can afford to play the same old game anymore. The union cannot make demands that place financial burdens on the system simply because it’s part of the game at negotiation time. It has to focus all its energy on protect- ing what goes on inside the classroom, name- ly full-time jobs and the workload formula that exists to ensure professors can contin- ue to provide students with quality learning experiences; and, to ensure any changes to the workload will put the student experience first and foremost. Management cannot afford to create con- ditions that threaten what lies at the heart of what makes the college system so effective: reasonable class sizes that allow for hands-on experiences and adequate time to spend with students both inside and outside the class- room. Maintaining a strong compliment of full- time professors to ensure quality and con- tinuity in the classroom will achieve this; attacking the motivation and integrity of pro- fessors and refusing to even pull a chair up to the bargaining table will not. Imposing terms and conditions that require concessions will not. Neither side should engage in kicking sand at each other while the lives of tens of thousands of students hang in the balance. Let respect for each other and respect for our students bring both sides to the table to bargain in good faith and find a reasonable way to navigate a great educational system through this tough economic climate. Kathleen Stewart is a professor at Durham College. Even the squirrels seem a little bummed this morning. Ianto, scourge of squirrels, pro- tector of bird feeders, chaser of imaginary foes, freak, nut-job, best friend in the world, my dog... has passed away. Strange how the absence of one little dog can make a house seem so suddenly empty. I have always had dogs in my life. Hopefully I always will. My life has been made richer in countless ways because of them. I think I am a better person because of them. For starters, dogs teach us to love. They are the walking, wiggling, bounc- ing, tail-wagging embodiment of love. And it is complete, unconditional love. A dog does not seek out your company, put his head in your lap or nuzzle your hand because he’s a little short on cash this week or he needs the car keys or he’s up to his arse in a deck proj- ect and that mitre saw of yours would be just the ticket. He does it for a reason that is com- pletely baffling to a lot of us on two legs; he adores us. Unlike their human counterparts too, dogs are incapable of holding a grudge. Even a beaten dog will happily lick the hand that struck him if it’s offered in peace. They are, ironically, models of humanity. The lon- ger I live with dogs the more I come to see there is much more to them than original- ly glimpsed. They are extraordinary crea- tures, and I mean that in the fullest sense of the word. And they have much more to offer us beyond unwavering loyalty and compan- ionship. But a dog’s gifts are only realized to the extent that we embrace them. Chain an animal to a post in your backyard and throw a bowl of kibble at him once a day and you will kindle the meagre relationship you sew. But bond with your dog, spend hours with him, talk with him, watch him, play with him, laugh with him, share your silence with him, your life with him and you will be astounded by the alchemy worked in your world. You will find yourself a more loving, patient, humorous, kind individual. Your health will improve, your circle of friends will widen, you will even be, dare I say it, more connect- ed to the universe. Why? Because your dog is. After years of watching them I am fully con- vinced dogs have a very direct link to where we all come from. They are firmly tapped in. When I was down with cancer my dog never left my side. Never. And he instinctively knew what I needed. He was not pestering me for affection. He was not dropping balls at my feet looking for a play. Nor was he whining or fretting over me. He would simply be there. Wherever I was, wherever I laid down or sat, he would place himself, quietly, within pet- ting length. He would make his love, his won- derful healing energy, available to me. Pon- der that. I should mention the only thing that may suffer, with a dog around, is your sex life. Dogs, unfortunately, find human sexuality infinitely amusing... and they like to watch. Which can be, frankly, a little unsettling. And so, given all of this, it is no small won- der that when a dog’s beautiful, incandescent light finally blinks out, there is suddenly a lot more darkness in our lives. I know I am in a bit of a fog right now. And, as I say, even the squirrels are a little bummed. We miss you dear friend. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Are you concerned that MPs are not going back to Ottawa until March 3 instead of Jan. 25? GEORGE DAWKINS -- ‘Yes. It’s a coverup by the Harper government for not dealing with the real issues and it’s buying them time.’ TERESA JACOB -- ‘Yes. How can they take that time off? How can Harper do that? It’s irrespon- sible.’ TOM MANTZIARIS -- ‘No. I like what the Conservatives are doing so I’m comfortable with it.’ JOHN SARD -- ‘No, I’m not concerned. I’m still an American citizen so I don’t vote anyway.’ Let’s show respect at bargaining table MIKE JOHNSTON Putting a face to senseless crime By all accounts, two-year-old Keagan Davis was a great kid. Friendly, outgoing, full of smiles and wonder. Then the lives of everyone who knew him changed irrevocably last week when he was found dead. Police have charged 26-year- old Michael Monckton with second-degree murder. When Mr. Monckton was charged, his name, along with Keagan’s name, was released to the media. Then hours later, we discovered a justice of the peace had agreed with a Crown attorney and placed a ban on both names. This paper, along with the CBC and Toron- to Sun, agreed to pool our financial resources to get the ban lifted. It eventually was, in time for us to run a picture of Keagan on our front page last Wednesday and provide proper coverage of his funeral last Friday, captured masterfully by crime reporter Jeff Mitchell. Both the picture and the legal fight against the ban led to at least two angry phone calls to the newsroom. One reader felt we shouldn’t have put Kea- gan’s picture on the front page. She said a pic- ture of the man charged in his death should have sufficed. An even angrier caller lambasted me, on behalf of the paper, for fighting the ban. She felt we had no right to do that and complained the comments we took from the Facebook page set up by Keagan’s dad should have been edited properly for spelling and gram- mar. She said we only did that to show we were more educated than Keagan’s father. I tried to tell her that was the furthest thing from the truth and newspapers often run comments verbatim with the note (sic) beside it to show we know the word is spelled incorrectly but we have decided to let it run as it was originally written. Those were Kea- gan’s dad’s thoughts and we had no right to change them. As for fighting the ban, the ban was wrong from the start. The community has a right to know who is charged with the murder of a young boy and it should be allowed to see the face of the child who was robbed of his life before it barely started.

KATHLEEN STEWART newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 20, 20107 P City resident on first flight to disaster zone BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis @durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Bill Oakman is one proud father. His son, Corporal William Oakman, an infantry soldier with the Canadian Forces, was one of the first Canadians to touch down in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that’s killed an estimated 200,000 and wreaked havoc across the island. “I believe he was on the first flight that went,” Mr. Oakman said, adding it left at around 1:30 a.m. Jan. 14. Cpl. Oakman, a Pickering resident, joined the armed forces four years ago and returned from a seven-month mis- sion to Afghanistan last April. There, he was presented with a Command- ers Coin for establishing communica- tions at Police Sub-station Haji. It was in Afghanistan that he was promoted to Corporal. “Obviously, we’re very proud of what he’s doing,” his father said. “We’re a little nervous about what he’s experiencing. You hear all the horror stories and you always wonder how that will affect him.” Mr. Oakman was taken aback when his son, now 31, first told him he was join- ing the military four years ago. Although he was always the helpful type growing up, he already had a career as a comput- er programmer. “He kind of surprised us when he said he wanted to go into the military, but we were very proud,” he said. Mr. Oakman’s entire family is equally proud; his younger sister is even con- sidering joining the military because of him. But they have many questions that can’t be answered since communication is limited. “Currently, the Canadian soldiers in Haiti have no method of communicating back home,” Mr. Oakman said. “The two e-mails that we received were thanks to a media person travelling with our troops who allowed William (and I’m sure oth- ers) to send the messages home.” Although Cpl. Oakman’s family mem- bers are not as nervous as they were during his Afghanistan mission, there’s still a sliver of uneasiness. “When he was in Afghanistan, I was on edge all the time,” Mr. Oakman said. “Less so in this case ... but there’s still a dangerous element to it.” Cpl. Oakman’s wife, Yuki, is currently in Japan completing her studies and Mr. Oakman is hopeful his son will be back by the time she returns to Pickering in April. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 20, 20108 P EARTHQUAKE AFTERMATH Pickering soldier providing help in Haiti SUPPLIED PHOTO PICKERING -- Cpl.

Cultural Strategic Plan The City of Pickering is currently in the process of completing a Cultural Strategic Plan. When complete, this plan will identify Arts, Heritage and Culture priorities for the City of Pickering within the next 10 years. At this stage in the strategic planning process, the City of Pickering is launching the Community Consultation Phase. Community Consultation phase will include a Random Community Household Telephone Survey that will begin on January 18, 2010 and last approximately 2.5 weeks. Pickering residents that are randomly selected will be called and asked to participate. Calls will be made between Monday to Friday and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The survey will seek to identify current participation in cultural activities and understand the needs and preferences of residents. Community Consultation phase will also include a Stakeholders Group Online Survey for cultural organizations and cultural facility owners/ operators that will begin on January 11, 2010 and last approximately 6 weeks. The Stakeholders Group Online Survey will (1) develop a comprehensive inventory of all heritage, arts and culture assets in the area, and; (2) create a community-responsive Cultural Strategic Plan, which will provide municipal and community direction for decision- making, policy development, and capital investment for the next ten years.

O’CONNOR newsroom@durhamregion.com HAMPTON -- When more than 400 peo- ple from Durham’s creative communities assembled for November’s Art of Transition Symposium, they never dreamed one of the world’s most accomplished inventors would take the stage. But that’s not surprising. Most of them probably didn’t realize that Wayne Conrad, head scientist for Omachron Technologies, lives in Durham in the tiny hamlet of Hamp- ton. A few days before the event, I had the priv- ilege of visiting Mr. Conrad at his Hampton home and company headquarters, a ram- bling property ringed by evergreens and high stone walls. Cameras scanned; a guard dog barked to announce my presence at the tall barred gates. If Omachron’s head- quarters sound high-security, it’s because they are: the research housed within is top- secret, valuable and, most importantly, unpatented. Omachron’s chief of staff explained the reason for Omachron’s strong defences. Inventions can be patented only if the idea is new, unique, inventive, useful and appli- cable. By granting a patent, the world ben- efits: a new device, machine or technology is introduced. And the inventor benefits: for the first 20 years, anyone who wishes to use the idea pays a fee; afterwards, it enters the public domain. But if the idea is revealed before the patent is secured, the invention becomes public property immediately, leav- ing the inventor and his investors with noth- ing to show for months or years of painstak- ing research. When I met Mr. Conrad, he instantly dis- pelled the scientist stereotype: there’s noth- ing stuffy or eccentric about the earnest, friendly gentleman who greets me with an easy smile and a warm handshake. No truth to the hackneyed stereotype of a lone- ly lab with a Bunsen burner and bubbling beakers, either. The work of a scientist and inventor is social and collaborative, said the intelligent and articulate businessman. In fact, the foreign accents of some of the other scientists we encountered suggested they’d travelled far for the privilege of collaborat- ing with him. We settled in the elegant conference room, where Mr. Conrad eagerly shared his work, his hobby, his passion with me. The glass cases that stretch along one side of the room display prototypes and framed photographs of his inventions, arranged with care and pride by his wife Nina. He pointed out the function and significance of many of them, peppering his points with anecdotes and examples. Mr. Conrad’s broad talents have led him to explore a number of eclectic paths. NASA astronauts and developing countries can thank him for inventions that extract water from air, and clean water from wastewater. His work in the energy sector is turning out the latest in high-performance solar cells, ultra-efficient furnaces and hot water heat- ers, and recycled-content wind turbines. He’s created inexpensive holographic art, low-cost LED lighting and solar-powered greenhouses that support year-round crops. Numbered among his inventions are super- efficient vacuums and quiet, low-energy jet skis. The clever scientist has even discov- ered sustainable ways to insulate, affordable ways to add authentic texture to mass-pro- duced art and non-polluting ways to mine for gold. He is, in fact, a quiet superstar of the scien- tific community. The prolific inventor holds more than 300 patents. Proudly framed and mounted, they line the long hallways, not unlike a singer’s gold records or Grammy Awards. Is he shooting for a record, I asked? He informed me that Thomas Edison holds the current record for U.S. patents with 1,093, then laughed and reminded me that he has plenty of time to catch up -- he’s still young. With all those patents to his name, Mr. Con- rad could certainly be considered an author- ity on creativity. He is a strong proponent of fostering creativity and curiosity from a young age, just as his father did in him. “When I was young, I was inspired to learn and explore things. Even at a young age, my dad would help me and try to show me.” When Mr. Conrad was just 11, the pair restored a 1929 glider. The experience ignit- ed his lifelong love of aviation. He built a solar-powered car that same year; it netted an Environmental Design Award at the Can- ada Wide Science Fair. By 16, he’d founded his first research and design company and begun manufacturing his design for an air cleaner and ionizer. At the Art of Transition Symposium, speaker after speaker extolled the value of the “creative class” and a “creative culture.” Mr. Conrad holds a different opinion: he believes there is no magical class of people who will manage our future. We can’t rely on the government or scientists or big busi- ness to solve society’s problems, he asserts, for as soon as we say, “I’ve given my $10 -– I’ve done my part,” we’ve surrendered both the empowerment to participate and our responsibility to society. “My focus is on the creative everyone. The truth is, every individual can be creative and can make a real difference in the world around them if they’re enabled. And the pri- mary enabler is information.” That’s why Mr. Conrad is launching the Planet Earth Initiative, a blog to help people access the information they need, at www. planetearthinitiative.org. Called QRCs or quick reality checks, the bite-sized nuggets of common-sense ideas promote a healthy lifestyle and a healthy planet. QRCs make science accessible by tracing and condens- ing complex issues, and then translating them into layman’s terms. Though the blog also provides web links and expanded con- tent for people interested in investigating further, it’s really intended to spur small change on grand scale. These are ideas to chew on and digest, designed to inspire thought and action. “Ideas are like seeds. They really do grow and sprout and multiply. People with their creativity will add to them and think of bet- ter ways to incorporate them into their lives and the lives of others. A few ideas can spark thousands.” He used a QRC from the blog as an exam- ple. Did you know, he asked, that 500 mil- lion cattle are currently grazing in South America? Those cattle are destined for our dinner tables, but at a hefty eco-price: first- ly, they produce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to all the cars in North America, and secondly, it takes 16 pounds of grain and 2,500 gallons of water to produce each pound of beef. Mr. Conrad’s not preaching vegetarian- ism, but rather small changes. One read- er may decide to reduce a steak serv- ing from eight ounces to six. Another may choose to replace beef with meatless meals once or twice a week. Still another may ask the local restaurant to put a smaller steak on the menu. Many people will sim- ply repeat the statistics as a topic of dinner conversation, in turn affecting their friends’ and relatives’ actions. He hopes that, as the topic ripples through the population, small changes adopted by numerous people may ultimately alleviate world hunger, decrease North American obesity and heart disease figures and reduce health-care costs. “The world is full of a lot of little choices that we all can make,” said Mr. Conrad with conviction. “Transition happens when we all take a little piece of the puzzle and say, ‘That’s the piece I can solve.’” Article originally published in Durham Trade and Com- merce, Winter 2010 edition RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND AJAX -- The Region of Durham held The Art of Transition Symposium at the Ajax Convention Centre last fall.

The Whitby woman is helping coordinate two simultaneous anti- prorogue rallies in Durham Region this Saturday, Jan. 23. The Durham gatherings are among more than 40 rallies expected to take place on Sat- urday in cities across Canada. Inter- national rallies are also planned for Canadian consulate locations in New York, London and Dallas. Ms. Leadbetter says she isn’t aligned with a specific political party and has never been involved in anything like this. “I’m just an average Canadian who thinks the government is being disrespectful and arrogant,” she said. “They’re counting on apathy and I don’t want to just sit back and do nothing.” Durham’s two rallies both start at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. One takes place outside Oshawa MP Colin Carrie’s office, 57 Simcoe St. S. in Oshawa, and the other is outside the office of Federal Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty, 701 Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby. Blaine Leal, who is helping to organize the Oshawa rally, said he is encouraged to see the Face- book group for the local rallies has grown to just over 200 members. As of Monday, the main Canadi- ans Against Proroguing Parliament Facebook group had climbed to more than 201,000 members. “In Canada, unfortunately, we’re known for apathy, just look at our voter turnout,” he said. “This is a chance to get people interested in the parliamentary process.” Mr. Leal is involved locally with the Green Party of Canada, but says the rallies are strictly non-partisan affairs. “We’re hearing from people from all different parties, and people who have never been involved in politics before,” he said.

The Ontario Information and Privacy Commis- sion conducted an investigation after it was told on Dec. 21 by the Region the USB key had been lost. The IPC also wants the Region to report by Feb. 16 on steps being taken to comply with the order. “While I accept that custodians (Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health) may not be able to totally eliminate the loss or theft of mobile devices (laptops, memory sticks), what I cannot accept is that the information contained therein is not encrypted,” Dr. Cavoukian stated in a press release. “Unauthorized access to health informa- tion stored on these devices that happen to be lost or stolen may clearly be prevented through the use of encryption technology.” It’s “both distressing and completely unaccept- able” that unencrypted mobile devices are still being used, she added. During a meeting of the Region’s health and social services committee on Jan. 14, Cindy Boyd, a lawyer for the Region, said a public health nurse lost the USB key in the parking lot at Regional head- quarters on Dec. 16. Cameras at the headquarters showed the nurse going to her car and then some- one picking something up and putting it on a rock. About four minutes later, the cameras showed the nurse coming back looking for something, Ms. Boyd said. Regional staff conducted a thorough search around the headquarters, including a weekend search of the parking garage, without success, she noted. “We had a policy and procedure in place. Unfor- tunately, in this situation, they weren’t followed,” Ms. Boyd said, adding the key was “picked up by somebody. It was lost. It wasn’t taken by someone.” The information on the key includes the names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, health card numbers, doctors’ names and personal health information of Durham residents who got the vac- cination. Letters regarding the situation were sent to every- REGION Province orders Durham to encrypt data one who provided their address at an H1N1 clinic. “Numerous errors by numerous people resulted in this prob- lem,” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said. “Many of the orders (from the IPC) will be acted on without question.” Regional staff will be instructed to follow policies, he added. “We’ll make sure what happened doesn’t happen again.” Letters sent out included an apology, Mr. Anderson said. “An apology doesn’t sound like it’s enough, but unfortunate- ly, that’s all that’s at our disposal right now.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Minor Peewee A team reaches semifinals OTTAWA -- The Ajax Minor Pee- wee A Knights started 2010 with style in Ottawa competing in skills competitions, pin trading and, of course, hockey as they participated amongst a field of 19 North American teams in a popu- lar tournament. The Knights were the only Ajax team entered in the 11th edition of the Bell Capital Cup and they didn’t disappoint. They played a strong defensive game, allowing only one goal in the round-robin play with wins against the Stitts- ville Rams, 6-0, and the Boston area Central Mass Outlaws, 2- 1, and a scoreless tie against the Kanata Blazers to put them into the quarterfinal against the Cum- berland Grads. That game remained scoreless deep into the dying seconds of the third period. Then Adam Whea- ton headed toward the Cumber- land net on a breakaway only to be tripped by the Grad defence. A penalty shot was called and Adam found the back of the net to avoid overtime, advancing the Knights to the semifinal. Centre Wellington Fusion was the next opponent and scored quickly in the first period and maintained the game momen- tum, winning 3-0. Ajax walked away with a bronze medal for a well-earned third-place finish in the tournament which is the high- est achievement in seven years by any Ajax team in this tourna- ment. In addition, the boys enjoyed participating in the skills com- petitions where Ian Elkins, Riel- ly Flynn, Emeka Okaeme and Cody Rowsell represented Ajax well by winning the relay race on New Year’s Day.

The breakaway relay contenders Sean O’Brien, Josh Morrell and Gra- ham Schropp, and Tate Beech closed out the skills competition in the target-shooting challenge. Adam Wheaton and Jacob Lebel represented the Knights in the all-star game where their team won 4-1. Lebel was in net for the first period and was strong on the puck, at one point racing out of his net to beat the opposing play- er to it to help clear the puck out of his end. Wheaton was a domi- nant force both fore- and back- checking, helping to make his line a difficult one to defend against. The Knights Minor Peewee A team is coached by Bill Mor- rell, Jeff Schnitzler, John Elkins, Ken Fleming and managed by Walt Arnsby. The team sponsors include Logue Mechanical, Polar Ice Sports, Binexpress, Cadil- lac Fairview, Deluxe and Doc- tors Schmitz, Sujo and Raymond Optometrists.

FOOTBALL Carter resigns with Tigercats PICKERING -- Yannick Carter has found a home in Hamilton with the Tigercats. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound native of Pickering made a career-high 24 special teams tackles in 18 games during his first season as a Ticat in 2009 after arriving in Hamilton in an off-season trade with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He also saw some time at line- backer last season. The Wilfrid Laurier prod- uct has tallied 62 special teams tackles in three seasons after the Roughriders selected him in the third round (20th overall) of the 2007 CFL Canadian Draft. “Yannick continued to show that he’s one of the better spe- cial teams players in the league,” said General Manager Bob O’Billovich in a press release. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 20, 201018 AP TORONTO – January 15, 2010 – Sears Canada Inc.

HOCKEY Generals working overtime OSHAWA -- If the Oshawa Generals feel as though they’ve played an extra game so far this season, it’s because they have and then some. For the 17th time in 45 games this Ontario Hockey League season, the Gen- erals needed to go beyond regulation time to decide matters Sunday at the General Motors Centre, where they came away with a 6-5 shootout victory over the Kingston Frontenacs. With 12 of those games requiring the shootout after a five-minute overtime period, the Generals have now played well beyond 60 minutes of extra hockey this season. The Generals and Frontenacs meet again Friday in Kingston, and Oshawa hosts the Saginaw Spirit on Sunday at 6:05 p.m. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 20, 201019 Wednesday January 20, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.
