The Arms of Jesus provides education and nutrition to the children of Cap Rouge, located in the mountainous area to the southwest of Port- au-Prince. It is the community’s only non-gov- ernmental organization. The head office is located in Jacmel, which is on the southern coast of Haiti, and Dr. Martin was pleased to hear Canadian troops have touched down there. Aid has been difficult to move into Jacmel since the road into the port town has been cut off from the rest of the country since the earthquake.

Michael Monckton, 26, appeared from Lindsay jail, where he is being held, in Oshawa court. Clad in an orange prison- issued jumpsuit, Mr. Monckton had the opportunity to speak privately with his lawyer, Gary McNeely, before the matter was held over until Feb. 3. Mr. Monckton is charged with second- degree murder in the death of toddler Kea- gan. The child was found dead in a base- ment apartment on Southgate Drive by Durham Regional Police officers respond- ing to an emergency call on Jan. 5. An autopsy found the boy died of trau- ma. When the Oshawa man appeared in court last week, his lawyer indicated con- cern his client was something of a “target” in jail, and was being subjected to verbal abuse by guards and fellow inmates. But Mr. Monckton is “doing better,” Mr. McNeely said Wednesday. That’s at least partly due to “acclimatiza- tion,” the lawyer said. “He’s getting used to being there, and others are getting used to him being there.” As yet, Mr. Monckton has not sought bail. That will only happen after the Crown pro- vides disclosure of evidence. “I can’t bring bail until I get all the dis- closure,” Mr. McNeely said. -- with files from Keith Gilligan COURTS Accused in Oshawa boy’s murder makes brief court appearance SUPPLIED PHOTO OSHAWA -- Michael Monckton, pictured here with murder victim Keagan Davis, appeared in Oshawa court briefly on Wednesday.

On Jan. 29, the crews will perform at Pickering High School at a fundraiser in hon- our of 12-year-old Jessica Theocharides, of Ajax, currently being treated at SickKids for leukemia. “Basically we just wanted to have a show where we can support SickKids because they’ve been tremendous to Jess and her fam- ily,” said family friend and one of the organiz- ers of the event, Pauline Yuen. The idea for the event came from a group of girls in their late teens who attended the same Pickering dance studio as Jessica. “She always would support the older girls and the older girls would support her group,” said Ms. Yuen. “They actually named their crew the JT Crew for Jess.” Called Steppin Up, the fundraiser will also include video shout-outs. Proceeds from the event will go towards Marnie’s lounge at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto. “It’s a place where all the kids, during their extended stay in the hospital, they can go hang out with other kids, play video games, play on the computer,” said Ms. Yuen, add- ing it’s a place where they can feel like normal kids. This isn’t the first time a group has raised funds on behalf of Jessica. Last October, stu- dents at Jessica’s elementary school, St. Pat- rick in Ajax, raised $2,600 for research at Sick- Kids through an orange day where students wore orange clothes and hair extensions. Doors for the Steppin Up show open at 7 p.m. on Jan. 29 and tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. For advance tickets, e- mail steppinup@live.ca and Ms. Yuen said that’s the best option for grabbing them. “We’re not sure if we’re going to have any at the door because it’s selling out pretty quick- ly,” she said. Pickering High School is at 180 Church St. N. in Ajax.

The victim handed over cash and the suspect, a white man believed to be in his 20s, fled the scene. • On Sunday at about 6:10 p.m., a 26-year- old woman was accosted by a masked man demanding money in an ATM kiosk at a Royal Bank branch on Harwood Avenue at Kingston Road.

Repatriation services planned for Friday afternoon BOWMANVILLE -- As the bodies of two RCMP officers killed in Haiti travel the Highway of Heroes Friday, Cecile Bowers will be watching and she hopes she’s not alone. Ms. Bowers, a member of the Canadi- an Army Vets Motorcycle Unit and the Bowmanville Legion, intends to hon- our the RCMP officers the same way she has Canada’s fallen soldiers: by holding her Canadian flag on the Waverley Road Hwy. 401 overpass in Bowmanville. She is encouraging others to do the same. “They serve just as our soldiers serve,” Ms. Bowers said. “I respect what they do, that’s why I’m there.” A repatriation motorcade for the officers is expected to pass through Bowmanville around 3:30 p.m., according to the RCMP. People can call 905-697-6000 to confirm the time. To drum up support and awareness about the repatriation ceremony for the police officers, Ms. Bowers has contacted her local members of parliament, Durham Regional Police, and others, she said. Ms. Bowers would like to see people lin- ing all the overpasses to show their sup- port, she said. KILLED IN HAITI RCMP officers to travel Highway of Heroes They serve just as our soldiers serve. Cecile Bowers Oda was to be in Haiti this week on ministerial business BY JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Bev Oda was to have been in Haiti this week. The Durham MP has been to the island nation twice since taking on the role of Min- ister of International Cooperation in 2007, and had another trip planned. “I was to be there yesterday and the day before to announce Canada will be building a new hospital in the area hit by four hurri- canes in 2008,” Ms. Oda said Tuesday. But, with Jan. 12’s 7.0-magnitude earth- quake, her plans changed, and Ms. Oda remained in Ottawa, where she announced $80 million in humanitarian relief for Haiti. “I can be more effective here in Ottawa, making sure we’re responding,” Ms. Oda said, noting Canada has had a long relation- ship with Haiti, and is the second largest donor nation doing work there. Right now, one of the most pressing issues in Haiti is getting international aid into the country. The small airport near Port Au Prince is handling 100 landings a day, Ms. Oda said. Many are attempting to land in neighbouring Dominican Republic with the supplies and relief workers making the trip into Haiti over land. Given the issues in transportation, Ms. Oda said it’s better she stay in Canada for now. “If one seat can carry three cartons of water or another doctor, I’d rather that seat go to them,” she said. The federal government has offered to match financial contributions from Cana- dians to registered charities specifically ear- marked for response to the earthquake. But Ms. Oda cautions people to ensure the char- ity is registered. That can be done by visiting www.cra-arc. gc.ca/whtsnw/tms/rthqk-haiti-eng.html. Given transportation issues, monetary donations are the best bet, Ms. Oda said. “I encourage people to understand that if you want to contribute, the donation of money is the best way,” she said. Haiti has long been a top priority for the Canadian International Development Agen- cy, for which Ms. Oda is responsible, and will continue to be, she said. “Canada has been in Haiti a long time and will be in Haiti to rebuild it better than ever,” she said.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions APPRECIATION Provincial help required to address blunders by Durham Region To the editor: Re: Province orders Durham to encrypt data, Jan. 14. Kudos to the Province of Ontario for finally stepping in and providing some much-needed guidance to the floundering ship that is Durham Region’s Department of Health. This may seem a rather severe wrap on the knuckles for its captain, Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s chief medical officer, but in my opinion it had to be done. I don’t often agree with Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson, but in this case he hit the nail squarely on the head with his statement: “Numerous errors by numer- ous people resulted in this problem.” I was one of the 83,524 recipients of Dr. Kyle’s letter of apology for his department’s loss of our personal health information and feel this simple apology falls well short of any sort of atonement for the severity of this latest blunder. And, speaking of blunders, was it not Dr. Kyle’s somewhat ambiguous statement, made last summer, that the Region’s pro- posed garbage incinerator would pose an “acceptable risk” to the health of those citi- zens living in the affected area. I have to ask, “acceptable to who?” Apparently this statement paved the way for Regional council to push forward with the submission of an Environmental Assessment (EA) report to the Province, seeking approval of the proposed incinera- tor. After receiving hundreds of submissions from the public citing errors, omissions and complaints about this report and numer- ous requests from the Region to extend the timeline so they could make corrections and resubmissions of the “amended” EA, I’m hoping the Province can once again come to the rescue of the citizens of Dur- ham and force the Region to cancel such an ill-conceived project. Elisabeth Hart Oshawa Questions not answered on missing health info To the editor: Re: Durham still looking for missing health information, Jan. 7. In a letter to Dr. Robert Kyle, Commis- sioner and Medical Officer of Health, I told him his letter was a waste of taxpayer money because it told me nothing I didn’t already learn from the media; and that it offered me no advice except to get a new health card. Today I received a letter from the administra- tion director saying they have still not found the key ; the incident has been reported to all the proper authorities and they are coop- erating fully. Neither letter has told me what I want to know: Who lost that USB key? How have they been reprimanded? Do they still have their job for which we, as taxpayers, foot the bill? What exactly is being done to find it? Why wasn’t the information encrypted? And how do they plan to compensate the more than 80,000 people whose identity has been compromised? Liola Limeback Bowmanville ANOTHER VIEW Generous Americans deserve our thanks To the editor: To all those people who like to bash Amer- icans for being ignorant and inconsiderate, I hope you might change your tune. Did you know that they sent an aircraft carrier, hos- pital ship, soldiers, doctors, nurses, and $100 million of relief to Haiti? How much support did China and Rus- sia send? So next time you want to put down America just be thankful they are our neigh- bours and remember that whenever a natural disaster occurs anywhere in the world they provide the most in aid and support. Nicholas Grebenc Clarington City smart to keep Pickering bicentennial costs in line The opportunity to celebrate a bicen- tennial is a special time, but given the economic difficulties faced by many in the community, the City is right to take a modest approach. Pickering officially turns 200 on March 4, 2011, so there is plenty of lead time to get the bicentennial year just right. On Monday, the City decided to budget $43,000 to beef up existing events and add new ones. But the extra events planned won’t go through unless the City can find spon- sorships or grants to pay for them. That’s smart thinking on council’s part as tax dollars are needed to pay for local essentials and any increase must go to bread, not circuses. The occasion of a 200th birthday cele- bration should generate some sponsor- ship opportunities and, with plenty of lead time, some grant money should be available from Queen’s Park and Ottawa. One of the biggest and brightest hap- penings should take place on July 1, 2011, when the City is planning to have a huge Canada Day celebration. The $25,000 event will only go ahead should grants come through, but the City is hoping to have a Canadian headlin- er and a swearing-in ceremony for new Canadians. Much of the cash is needed for brand- ing and marketing purposes over the next year. The City will be looking to work with local groups, such as putting on a speaker series with the Pickering Public Library, a soccer tournament with the Pickering Soccer Club and an Italian heritage mul- ticultural and sporting event to be orga- nized by the Ajax-Pickering Italian Social Club. All are great ideas as they involve com- munity-minded local citizens who will be more than happy to spread the word about Pickering’s big birthday celebra- tion. The City should do all it can to bring as many clubs and organizations into the big party tent so that a large number of Pickering citizens are directly involved. Not only does it make for a bigger party, it helps to build community spirit, some- thing you can never have enough of. The usual events that fill the City cal- endar, like Family Day, Christmas in the Village, the New Year’s Eve Family Count- down and the Waterfront Concert Series, will also get the Pickering 200 touch. Keeping costs down will ensure taxpay- ers get good bang for their buck but will ensure a suitable year-long celebration recognizing a special birthday.

The delivery truck driver for Softmoc has been driving all over the GTA picking up boxes of used shoes and delivering them to the company’s ware- house in Whitby, for transport to Haiti. “I just brought back four skids yesterday back to the ware- house. It’s quite a lot,” he said while carting another 200 pairs of shoes onto the truck, outside the Oshawa Centre. Softmoc shoe stores across Canada launched their used shoe campaign on Friday. They’re asking people to take in their gently used shoes so they can be sent to Haiti to help those affected by the 7.0 magni- tude earthquake. The company is working alongside the charity Soles 4 Souls to get the shoes delivered to Port-au-Prince. “The response has been over- whelming,” Oshawa Softmoc store manager Deborah Watt McMillan said. “We’ve had ... just since Fri- day, over 200 pairs donated from the community, which is a really great turnout. We were all pleasantly surprised.” May Howie took time out of her work day Tuesday to donate to the cause. She dropped off a pair of her old running shoes. “I’m a runner and I always have shoes around. I thought, why not? It’s such a good cause,” she said. Ms. Watt McMillan said the last day for donations is Jan. 22 because the company would like to make sure the shoes get to Haiti as quickly as possible. “Everybody kind of has a little bit of a footwear fetish and has some extra shoes in their clos- et that they’re not using so any- thing they can bring in would be appreciated.” She said they’re in desperate need of children’s shoes and sandals right now. There are three Softmoc loca- tions in Durham Region -- at the Oshawa Centre, the Pickering Town Centre and the Whitby Softmoc warehouse on Hopkins Street South.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 21, 20108 P said having Dr. Martin’s team, with their famil- iarity of the land and language there, will be a huge help for the troops. “They’re pathfinders, they know the area very well,” he said. And he gives Dr. Martin much praise for being a constant help to Haiti, an island that has dealt with numerous blows over the years. “He’s been at the forefront of doing a lot of the work behind the scenes,” he said. Right now, both Jacmel and Cap Rouge are a mess. Dr. Martin is thankful the director of the Arms of Jesus in Haiti is fine, but he’s shaken up since everything has been flattened. “The homes for the children were bad to start with so they’re all ruined,” he said. The school, however, managed to survive. And last year, the Arms of Jesus provided around 100 solar-paneled lights to the com- munity that has no electricity, along with solar-powered Bibles they can read in the dark. “They’re still working,” he was glad to report. Dr. Martin added the children and staff members are accounted for, but he’s still feel- ing the loss of others. “People, our staff are all well enough, but one of our board members in Jacmel has lost his wife and his 16-day-old baby,” Dr. Martin said. He was also saddened to report a Pickering woman and Safe Haven member died in the earthquake. “I can’t release the family name but we have lost a member, so it’s been tough,” he said. The Arms of Jesus continues to col- lect donations and will be at the forefront of getting Cap Rouge and Jacmel back on their feet. In an effort to keep costs down, the Arms of Jesus doesn’t have an online donation func- tion, but accepts cheques by mail or in per- son at Safe Haven.

V!VA Retirement Corp. requested a zon- ing bylaw amendment to remove two empty homes on the prop- erty and to build a 135-unit rental retire- ment residence and a day care with 25 spots. V!VA plans to hire between 40 and 60 employees in total. “I’m really excited about having the day care integrated with the seniors compo- nent,” Mayor Dave Ryan said, adding it will be beneficial to both the seniors and the children. Council felt V!VA worked openly with staff and residents and were sensitive toward their issues. One resident had con- cerns of the interference the building could have with his amateur radio station opera- tion and satellite reception. Rob Freeman, V!VA’s planner, said at the meeting the company has put in writing it will accom- modate his concerns and those of any oth- ers with similar issues. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said he was apprehensive of the plans at first. But in the summer, V!VA held a well- attended public meeting and he could see the developer would address their con- cerns. “It’s very important to have the commu- nity involved,” he said. Resident Peter Smith said the plans should go back to staff for further work. While not against a retirement residence, he felt the height isn’t suitable for the neighbourhood, and feared more of the same will follow. Director of planning and development Neil Carroll said V!VA represents the northern limit of high-density on Glen- grove Road, and he wouldn’t support any applications for dense buildings north of it. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said he’d hate for the plans to go to the Ontario Municipal Board if council reject- ed the application. They’d then be subject to changes over which the City has no con- trol. Mr. Carroll said the area is designated mixed-corridor use and if it did go to the OMB, the property could be subject to even more commercial possibilities. “It’s probably one of the most broad des- ignations in our official plan,” Mr. Carroll said. Coun. Johnson asked Mr. Freeman if the plans were referred back to staff, wheth- er VIVA would take the application to the OMB. “I’m not sure we could achieve much more than we already have, quite frankly,” he said.

Counselling Hypnosis Spiritual Direction Life Coaching For Individuals Couples Groups Enhance Your Life by healing your body, mind, and spirit Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Ever struggled with keeping a New Year’s Resolution? Most of us have. The wonderful news is that there are ways to make keeping them easier. Your mind is so powerful so why not connect with that power? Get your subcon- scious mind working for you. Hypnosis, which is really just relaxed, fo- cused concentration, is a natural ability. It’s entirely normal and something we all do every day. When we are hypnotized, our bodies are re- laxed and our minds are focused. For example, have you ever been reading or watching TV and someone called you and you didn’t hear them? You were hypnotized. Ever been driving, got to your destination and didn’t remember part of the drive, you were in hypnosis – focused concentration on driving. It’s also called a light trance. When we’re hypnotized we’re able to access our subconscious mind. This allows us to cre- ate positive changes – quit smoking, let go of weight, relax, whatever change we’ve decided to make in our lives. Self-hypnosis is easy to learn – either in group sessions or one-on-one. So harness your natural ability. Learn to change your thoughts, habits, beliefs and become the person you want to be! Written by Phebe-Jane Poole, Ph.D. Phebe provides a safe and secure environment where people can enhance their lives, at the Isle of Ava- lon Wellness Centre. Working with individuals and groups, Phebe helps people make positive life changes, reduce everyday stress, become more self-aware, ﬁ nd a sense of overall balance and peace, and have a renewed energy for life. Enhance Your New Year ʼs Resolutions! One thing we want to have with us into our golden years is our health. 2010 is going to be the year for many to de- cide to make health a personal project. Being guided one step at a time toward optimal health is the pathway to your Ultimate Personal Evolution, and it can be an exhilarating process. Many people have achieved a transformation to health, have you? In the end, each one of us is responsible for our own health, and most often disease. Regardless of what is going on in our lives, health should not be taken for granted, and whatever is holding you back from optimal living can make you a prisoner of mediocrity of our thoughts and activities. It is impor- tant that we not ignore the awareness of body signs and symptoms. If you have shied away from a patient-cen- tered health clinic then you are depriving yourself of a great personal learning experience. There you can have your personal plan created for optimizing your health and lifestyle < you are the focus! Expect to be supported and encouraged through this health transformation, and get excited about making progress. Lead with your positive attitude and you have taken the ﬁ rst step. You should be will- ing and prepared to look deep into your health history, attitude, lifestyle, sleep habits, foods and eating habits, nutritional supplements, and exercise. Best results are usually found with tailored recommendations given one on one to have accountability, measure, track, and record your progress. Once people are given the tools for suc- cess, they are able to “hit the ground running,” and put the wheels in motion. The steps towards health include your own personal health assessment, food sensitivity testing and cellular analysis (to establish your baseline), cleans- ing/detoxiﬁ cation (this is a different process for each in- dividual), dietary improvements and recommendations, as well as maintenance. It is all about you, and the time is now. Time to get out of your own way and allow nature to take its course with you. There is no greater reward than living the best life and feeling great. Go for it! For information on your health transformation program, Karen Steward operates the Allergy, Detox, and Weight Control Clinic in Pickering and Bowmanville for the past 10 years.

Answer: Many of my clients are surprised to learn that exercise is only part of the puzzle. There are two main reasons why many people work out consistently and yet still are not able to reach their health and weight loss goals. The fi rst is that you need to adjust your workout program every four to six weeks in order to keep your body challenged and the second and most important key ingredient to success is nutrition. Our body is extremely intelligent and learns to adapt very quickly, this is why we provide our clients at U Weight Loss with professional workout programs. You must constantly change your work out regime to challenge your body in order to see the results you crave. It is also a huge nutrition myth that if you work out, you can eat whatever you want. The truth is that 75-80% of the results you will experience from any exercise program are in fact dependent on your nutrition. You need to fuel your body properly with the right nutrients emphasizing the correct balance of lean proteins, essential fats and low-glycemic carbohydrates to repair muscle tissue in order to tone, build muscle and increase your metabolism. Nutrition is the cornerstone of health and the focus at U Weight Loss. Come in to U Weight Loss in Ajax or Pickering and learn how to accelerate the results from your exercise program and reach your health and weight loss goal easily and quickly! durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 21, 201017 AP WELDER/FABRICATOR Multi-national company requires Skilled Welder/Fabricator with experience in fabricating and the use of MIG welding equipment.
