The incident happened around 3:15 p.m. and miraculously, there were no injuries to anyone on the train or the GO platforms, Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas said. “We’re not sure what caused the derailment,” Chief Douglas said. About 10 train cars were stacked up, with one car carrying lumber coming within metres of parked cars. Fire officials didn’t believe there are any haz- ardous substances on the train, but were waiting for the CN hazardous materials crew to examine See CN page 5 FEATURE 2 Providing online help Durham man opens doors to accessibility TECHNOLOGY 10 Put on the glasses 3D TV makes its debut at local stores SPORTS 16 Lord of the court Hoopster top male athlete at Durham College durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 31, 20102 AP INTERACTIVE Durham man helps open doors to accessibility Paul Feldman helps launch information portal BY IAN MCMILLAN imcmillan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Stubbornness can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how it’s used. For Ajax resident Paul Feldman, it saved his life. Mr. Feldman has a motor neuron dis- ease, a condition where the motor nerves that move one’s arms and legs die. The disease attacked Mr. Feldman’s arms first and eventually affected his legs. Today, he has no control of his arms and limited control of his legs. When he was diagnosed with the condi- tion, nobody could give him any direction or clue where to get help. He wanted to live a normal life, he wanted to work. One doctor even told him just to go home and collect disability. “I’m saying the same thing to each one of them -- I want to work. I have never not worked in my entire life,” Mr. Feldman said. He struggled for years trying to get help and found it in the most unlikely of places -- a newspaper article about the Assistive Technology Clinic at Sunnybrook hospi- tal. A referral from his doctor landed him an appointment at the clinic and from that day he’s never looked back. Today, Mr. Feldman uses a specialized wheelchair that allows him to do many of the things an able-bodied person can do. He also has a voice recognition computer program that allows him to produce writ- ten documents, do spreadsheets, power- point presentations, send and receive e- mails and surf the Internet. Mr. Feldman went through his own per- sonal hell before he found help. He said he wouldn’t wish that for anyone. With that in mind he set out about a year ago with Sue Sutcliffe, from A Web That Works, to construct a website for anyone in a situa- tion similar to his own. With backing from the Durham Region Employment Network and the Durham Region Local Training Board, the website, www.disabilitydoor- way.com, is now a reality. The website is designed to assist people with disabilities, or their families, by pro- viding information on resources and ser- vices that could help improve their qual- ities of life. Before the website went live, Mr. Feldman had several people with var- ious disabilities read through it. He said he wanted it to be accessible and easy for anyone to use. “People went through it and were very happy with it,” he said. “We wanted the information to be a sim- ple click away.” Mr. Feldman said many people may not realize what types of support are out there. For instance, through the Assis- tive Devices Program, the provincial gov- ernment pays 75 per cent of the cost to people who qualify. And there are other programs where people can get grants to cover the remaining costs. That’s how Mr. Feldman was able to afford his wheelchair and, without it, his quality of life would really suffer. “It’s our goal to educate people,” Mr. Feldman said. “There are ways around it (costs) and there are programs that will help you do it.” Mr. Feldman said what has to happen now is to get the word out about www.dis- abilitydoorway.com. He wants to see doc- tors display posters in their offices, have it displayed at health-care agencies and anywhere related to the health-care field. People have to know where to go for help; it cannot remain a mystery, he said. “Had I been able to go to a website like this, it would have saved three years of my life,” Mr. Feldman said. FAST FACTS Accessibility Expo DURHAM -- If timing is everything, Paul Feldman couldn’t have launched his website any better than he did. In the works for about a year, www.disabilitydoor- way.com went live this spring. The site has an array of information, companies and organizations that can help people suffering all forms of disabilities. More than 100 of these companies and organizations will be in Oshawa on June 17 at the Accessibility Expo: Breaking Down Barriers in Durham Region at the Recreation and Wellness Centre of Durham College and UOIT. “They will all be under one roof at the expo,” Mr. Feldman said. The Accessibility Expo will begin in the morning with a breakfast meeting for businesses to bring them up to speed on making their companies accessible by 2012. The public sector has already complied with the new legislation but the private sector has two more years to do so. From noon until 8 p.m., the expo will be open to the public. Mr. Feldman said as the population ages, more and more people will need many of the services and technologies highlighted at the expo. “It’s definitely for everyone. It’s going to be a major event.” METROLAND FILE PHOTO WHITBY -- Paul Feldman walks with John Lewis at a recent Durham Region Local Training Board meeting at the Whitby Public Library. Using his technically enhanced wheelchair has been a life-saver for him, he says. We wanted the information to be a simple click away.

Neighbour Tim Hayes was driving with his wife on his way to work shortly after 8 a.m. when he saw smoke com- ing from the garage of a home on Marshcourt Drive. He could tell by the thick smoke that it wasn’t simply a small leaf fire and decided to pull over to see if he could help. “I said ‘this isn’t good,’” he said. So he got out and banged on the door to let the family know, dialed 911 and waited for the fire department to arrive. “They were really quick,” he said. The fire department got the call at 8:20 a.m. and fire- fighters were on the scene at 8:24 a.m., said platoon chief Rick Ingram. “Everybody was out of the house when we got there,” he said, adding no one was even taken to hospital. Firefighters extinguished the fire 10 or 15 minutes later, Mr. Ingram said. The flames were contained to the garage, and only some smoke got into the home, he said. It could have been a much different story had it been a few hours earlier when everybody, including Mr. Hayes, was still asleep. “They’ll be able to go back in today,” he said. In the meantime, the family is staying with some neighbours across the street. The family had actually practised its fire escape plan during the time change earlier this month. “We practised this thing before, the fire drill,” said resi- dent Sherwyn Sookhai. Mr. Sookhai’s two kids were home sick in bed with the flu and everyone else was up, including his wife, mother, father, brother, sister-in-law and five-month-old baby, who were visiting. Mr. Sookhai was actually discussing the number of fires that have taken place in Toronto just last night, and was absolutely shocked to see it happen to his own home. “I can’t come to terms with it basically,” he said. “I can’t believe it. It’s one of those thing you never think will happen to your house.” Firefighters continued to put out the hot spots and the investigation will continue from there, said Pickering Fire inspector Steve Fowlds. Although two cars were parked outside, they may need detailing, Mr. Fowlds said. The cars on the inside were damaged by smoke, fire and water. “It’s going to be high,” he said of the damage. “They’ve got four cars and a lot of storage in there.” Mr. Fowlds, as well as Mr. Sookhai, is unsure of how the fire began, and in an early guess, Mr. Fowlds esti- mates the damage at around $100,000.

The company confirmed Friday it will add a third shift on its consolidated line in Oshawa in October to produce the Chevrolet Equinox model under a unique plan with its CAMI assembly operation in Ingersoll, which already produces the vehicle and the GMC Terrain. Under the plan, GM said it will expand the CAMI body shop to produce extra Chevrolet Equinox vehicles beyond the plant’s existing capacity to paint and assemble them. The company then will ship those units to Oshawa for paint and final assembly on the same line that produces the Chevrolet Impala. That plan will also allow GM to increase Terrain output at the CAMI operation, GM added. “This plan for CAMI and Oshawa allows us to meet customer demand for hot products while avoiding a potential pro- duction over-capacity situation by creative- ly using our assets and facilities,” said Mark Reuss, president of GM North America. “This innovative approach enables us to ramp up in a timely and cost-effective way and highlights the importance of these plants and communities in our North American plans.” GM said the plan will create 600 jobs at the Oshawa complex and about 70 more on lay- off at CAMI by August. The company did not disclose how many more vehicles it could produce annually under the plan. Ken Lewenza, president of the Canadian Auto Workers, indicated recently that GM could resolve its dilemma over where to build more of the popular crossover vehicles by assembling more of them in the underuti- lized Oshawa operation. GM had considered additional output in the U.S. “This is the latest in a series of very positive growth initiatives and new product mandates for our Canadian facilities,” said Kevin Wil- liams, the new president of GM Canada. “By the end of this year, we expect to recall all laid-off production employees in Oshawa to support the new Equinox, Regal and Cama- ro convertible production planned there and, at CAMI, we will even be hiring some new workers -- truly great news for the employees, dealers, suppliers and communities affect- ed.” Tony Van Alphen is a business reporter for the Toronto Star Page 6 - Today’s editorial BUSINESS GM confirms third shift for Oshawa car plant ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING www.petersacademy.com PETER'S plus GSTonly MTO Beginner Driver Education Course Provider • 20 hours in classroom instruction • 10 hours of private in-car lessons on automatic • FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction Learn Life Saving Skills Skid Control Evasive Maneuvers Braking Techniques • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST Group Discounts Available (for 3 or more) Mini Package Available An Installment Payment Plan For Your Convenience $325.325.0000 965 Dundas St. W.

Officials were keeping people away from the site as a precaution, he added. “The outer shell of the tanker was impaled. We’re not sure about the inner tank,” Chief Douglas said. “I don’t believe it’s leaking any of its contents. The CN haz mat team is coming in. We’re waiting for them,” Chief Douglas noted. The derailment halted eastbound GO trains at Guild- wood for a couple of hours. GO officials said eastbound train service resumed about 4:30 p.m. No trains are stopping at Pickering, but anyone who wants to access that station can take the train to Ajax and get a bus back to the Pickering parking lot. The Pickering station was closed, but not evacuated because of the derailment. Sergeant Steve Rhoden of the Durham Regional Police said there “was never any danger to the public. “Train service will be disrupted by this event. It will be several hours until CN can get a clean-up crew in,” Sgt. Rhoden said. The derailment is expected to cause a two- to three- hour delay for Via Rail Canada trains. About 13 trains are going to be impacted, according to a Via Rail spokes- person. Shirley Vasey and Shareen Dorey were on the train back to Pickering when they were stopped at Guild- wood and told there was an incident at the Pickering station. They weren’t given any details, Ms. Vasey said. “We just got off and took a cab,” she said. “A lot of peo- ple were just staying on the train though, because they didn’t know what was going on.” Diane Doherty was coming home from work when one of the kids in the back of the truck she was driving saw the wreck. She drove home and grabbed her cam- era before coming back to see the accident up close. “I just hoped it was a freight truck and no one was hurt,” she said. “I’ve lived in the area 15 years and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” She was among the many who stopped to take a look at the Liverpool Road bridge. Passersby stopped their cars and got out to take photos and were hanging out of the cars taking cellphone photos. “I stopped and took my (Black)berry out and took some photographs for my father,” Rodney Stevens said.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions MILITARY HISTORY If Camp X artifacts are sold, important part of history is lost To the editor: I’m writing in concern about the Camp X artifacts that are for sale, and the aban- doned building in Whitby that was once used as barracks at Camp X. I’m on Mr. Hodgson’s side of the issue. If Deirdre Stuart sells these Camp X arti- facts internationally, this important part of Oshawa’s history will be dead. I would bring the abandoned building to Camp X, restore it, and put all the artifacts inside the building. If Camp X never existed to train spies during the Second World War, we could have lost the war, and most likely be under Nazi control. Bryce McRae, Grade 5 Oshawa Vital Second World War artifacts are indeed priceless To the editor: I totally agree with the Edward Reilly let- ter (Oshawa This Week, March 17, 2010) and his lament over Camp X artifacts being sold.Those vital historic artifacts should not be ‘X-ed’ from our heritage, for they are indeed priceless (especially compared to the Cullen Garden miniatures debacle, where that particular collection purchase begs the letter -- and question -- ‘Y’.) Consider, too, the absurdity of a Camp X bungalow (the last building) being ensconced in the parking lot of Whitby Animal Services and also being considered for demolition. Here’s a solution: Move the bungalow back down to the Whitby Harbour area, buy those artifacts at all costs and put them in that building. It is such a no-brainer -- as simple as ABC. R.M. Hues Oshawa If museum items were donated, they should be returned To the editor: Like many people in Durham Region, I have been following the story about the Camp X memorabilia. One name certain- ly stands out for me and my colleagues at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School. Angus Dixon, who donated items to the museum, (especially his unique brown suede, sheepskin-lined pilot boots), was a volunteer in our school’s guidance depart- ment until his late 70s, when he ‘retired’ once again. (He had retired from the edu- cation field after many years of teaching and being principal at both O’Neill and Eastdale collegiates.) His portrait from the Second World War, and proudly wearing the same uniform in 1995 at our school, is up in our guidance department. Last year, I came upon some of Mr. Dix- on’s items in Dwyer’s archives, (wartime letters, his wartime paybook, uniform, photos, etc.). While they were so inter- esting to view and share with our histo- ry students, we never hesitated to contact his widow, Jane Dixon, and return them to her family. If Mr. Dixon was my grand- father, our family would treasure these items and share details about the man who first owned them. I ask that Deirdre Stuart (who took ‘ownership’ of the impressive Camp X collection of memorabilia several years ago), do the honorable thing, like her father would have done. Rather than hold the donated items, (telling the families who loaned them to prove that they were donat- ed), why doesn’t Ms. Stuart prove that her father paid for them and then she would have ownership of these valuable pieces of our Canadian history? If she can’t prove that, then do what is right and return the items to their rightful family -- the children and grandchildren of those who shared their personal pieces of history. Time to step up, Ms. Stuart. Not everything is about money. Maureen Moloney Whitby News that General Motors of Canada is bringing 700 jobs back to the Oshawa assembly complex later this year pro- vides much-needed underpinning to the growing optimism surrounding the North American automotive industry. GM confirmed last week it will add a third shift on its consolidated Oshawa line in October for the popular Chevrolet Equi- nox cross-over utility vehicle in a unique approach that will also involve a GM plant in Ingersoll, Ont. Those 700 jobs coming home to Oshawa underscore the confidence in the local plant and its workers, and this latest bit of positive economic news positions the com- pany for greater expansion as the economy continues to improve. And the corporation should be credited for being innovative and cautious in its approach to bringing these jobs home. The company will produce additional Equinox vehicles beyond capacity at the assembly operation in Ingersoll and will ship those extra vehicles to the Oshawa complex for paint and final assembly here. The result is more employment for peo- ple at both plants and, again, will position the Oshawa complex to accept more work as demand for GM vehicles continues to grow. Indeed, GM Canada president Kevin Williams expects to recall all laid-off pro- duction employees to Oshawa by year’s end to support the Regal and Camaro brands along with the Equinox. It’s true autoworkers have suffered dis- proportionately during this recession. But it’s also true that a deep commitment to innovation -- on both the management and workers’ side of the aisle -- will bode well for Oshawa’s automotive assembly operations into the future. And the benefits of ramped-up car assembly ripple through the communities the Oshawa plant serves. Along with the return of jobs and automo- tive output at the Oshawa complex, deal- ers will see greater demand and improving sales, suppliers will be needed to provided parts and people and Durham Region’s municipalities will see greater local eco- nomic activity. The worst of the recession seems to be behind us. Employment is stabilizing and optimism continues to grow. This move by GM Canada officials is both timely and welcome and will continue to build on itself. Though there is more diversity in jobs that have taken root in Durham Region -- from Ontario Power Generation to a grow- ing university presence -- General Motors continues to be an important component in our economic landscape. Bring on those jobs and a commitment to the future and the rest will take care of itself. - Durham Region Media Group Getting back on the line at General Motors complex durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 31, 20107 PAre you planning any April Fool’s Day pranks this year? GLENN PEARSON -- ‘I might try one on the kids.’ JENNIFER COLLINS -- ‘No, I am not, but I am keeping my eye out.’ STEVE BOWKER -- ‘No, I just never thought of it ... yet.’ TONY STACENKO -- ‘No, I don’t believe in them. I get enough jokes played on myself.’ WE ASKED I never, ever thought I’d say this but, ‘Girls, please pull your pants up.’ When the gorgeous weather set in this past week, my son and I decided to head out and hit a bucket of balls at a local driv- ing range. The girl behind the counter was pleasant enough and things went along just dandy until she turned around and bent over to get my son a driver. Suddenly I found myself staring at something resem- bling the San Andreas Fault. Easily the top half of this girl’s backside was on display. And this wasn’t me having to crane my neck or anything. I’m pretty sure the guys on the 18th tee could’ve seen it if they’d looked our way. Now, don’t get me wrong. This is not a cri- tique of body types. My reaction would’ve been the same, I’m sure, if it had been Beyoncé back there. I was just suddenly very uncomfortable. Doubly so because I was sharing this Kodak moment with my 15-year-old son. A number of things happen very quickly in these kinds of scenarios. And some of them are completely out of my control. For starters, I look. It’s what men do. It’s what men have done since the first cave woman bent over the fire to stir the mammoth ragout. There may be men, cloistered in some hilltop monastery somewhere, who, through decades of training and self-flag- ellation, have steeled themselves not to look at available naked female flesh, but I doubt it. It’s in our DNA. Secondly, after looking, I immediately feel bad. I feel badly that I am treating this person as a sex object and that, rather than appreciating her fine mind, I am a Nean- derthal who can see only her nude back- side ... which she is displaying for me and everyone else in a two-kilometre radius. I feel 10 times as bad, and you can throw in a goodly measure of guilt and shame, if the backside in question belongs to some- one who could be my daughter. Having my son along to witness my kneejerk lust and attendant discomfiture is icing on the cake. It’s a perfect storm of modern male angst. Thirdly, and this may just be me, but I don’t think anyone working anywhere near food, as this young girl was, should be air- ing out that particular part of their anato- my. We make people wear hairnets for cry- ing out loud. What’s a patron to do? “Yeah, I’d like a cheeseburger and fries please. And could you make sure your naked behind doesn’t touch the plate?” Cripes. I know this is ‘the style’ right now. And God knows I was just as guilty of fashion crimes in my younger days. But I don’t think I ever contravened any health or hygiene regulations. And I hope I never made anyone else uncomfortable. I’m sure I made some of them snicker. I can live with that. Call me old-fashioned, but I still feel a little modesty goes a long way. Especially if you’re dealing with the public. In private or with your peers, go ahead, knock your- self out. Wear your pants down around your ankles if you want. It’s my firm belief, though, the only people who should be able to display the vertical smile at any time with impu- nity are those who have earned the right after eons of hard work and bending over ... plumbers. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Plumbers have nothing on teens today NEIL CRONE PICKERING -- Olympic silver medal- ist Shelley-Ann Brown was at Brock Road Child Care March 16 to speak to the chil- dren about her Olympic experience. Before Shelley-Ann showed up at the childcare centre, I noticed the large num- ber of handmade signs plastered all over the walls. I kept these in mind in hopes of getting a shot of Shelley-Ann with one of these signs in the background. She sat on the ground with the kids for most of the time she was there but when she got up to pose with the kids, I was able to work around her a little. I like the simplicity of this image with her beaming face and the Olympic rings behind her. Ryan Pfeiffer is a photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group RYAN PFEIFFER / BEHIND THE LENS One of the ways we judge what is impor- tant to the community is by the number of letters to the editor we receive. It’s usually easy to tell what will garner a lot of interest. Months ago, when we ran a letter on peanut allergies, I knew it would lead to a massive debate in our editorial pages and I wasn’t disappointed. The letters poured in with about 90 per cent of readers arguing a ban on peanuts at school is a life- saver. Then when the Oshawa MBA issue came up, again the letters poured in with the majority demanding that an Oshawa coun- cillor and the mayor’s executive assistant pay back the money they received to get a degree. Then there are the issues that slowly gain momentum and the Camp X artifacts fall into that category. A while ago, we ran a story about the owner of the museum at the Oshawa air- port taking steps to sell the artifacts. Among them are Second World War items donat- ed over the years by Durham residents and items from Camp X, a top secret war-time facility, located on the Oshawa-Whitby bor- der, where Allied agents trained for war- time missions. Deirdre Stuart took over ownership of the museum from her father Robert who died seven years ago. She is selling the artifacts for personal reasons but isn’t shying away from negative comments being directed towards her, by saying her father purchased many of the artifacts and people didn’t have any signed deals when they made their donations. As the story has seeped into the com- munity, it is starting to generate more and more letters, again with the majority argu- ing Ms. Stuart should return the artifacts to the people who donated them. There is a local move to try and buy the contents of the museum with one donation of a few hundred thousand dollars already being offered. That donation has since fall- en through. But I’m sure our readers will continue to keep this issue front and centre until an agreement is reached to keep the artifacts in Oshawa, even if it is one letter at a time.

Letters to the editor tell the stories MIKE JOHNSTON durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 31, 20108 P BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Residents from across Dur- ham and the GTA took the pledge to turn their lights off for Earth Hour at a Pickering event on Saturday. Shoppers signed up at the Pickering Town Centre where the City was celebrating Sus- tainable Pickering Day. People who signed the pledge were entered to win a $250 shop- ping gift certificate to the mall and they also had a chance to record their environmental messages for a video the City is creating. By mid afternoon, more than 200 people had signed the pledge to turn out their lights and curb their electricity use from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night. In addition to the pledge, there were a number of information booths set up by groups like Veridian, Enbridge, Durham Sus- tain Ability and the Pickering Public Library where residents got practical tips on conserv- ing energy. At the Enbridge booth, Kathleen Hunt talk- ed about her company’s solar water-heating program. “It’s actually a really exciting pilot project we’re promoting this year,” she said adding that the project runs until Dec. 31. The program is a partnership with Bullfrog Power and EnerWorks. The solar water heaters would supplement natural gas water heaters using the sun’s energy collected by a solar panel on the roof to heat the water. Peter Watson, of Tranquility Home Com- fort Ltd., the company that does the instal- lation locally, answered the more technical questions residents may have, such as wheth- er they have enough space. “It requires a second tank and not everyone has that storage in their basement,” said Ms. Hunt.

VE Day was declared on May 8, 1945 when the Second World War Allies for- mally accepted the unconditional sur- render of the armed forces of Nazi Ger- many. About 1,400 Durham area students will be making the trip overseas and we’ll be joining them to cover the event for news- papers across Canada. In preparation for the trip, our report- ers are assembling stories for a special section to celebrate the special Victory in Europe event.

Although the family enjoyed the experience, they’re not yet willing to shell out thousands for the new technology. “Maybe not now because we just bought a new TV,” said Mr. Casey. Don Anderson, of Oshawa, also checked out the new TVs and he said he was sold the first time he put the 3D glasses on and he’ll probably get one. “My response was, oh my God ... I said, guess what’s going down in the man cave,” he said. Michelle Pratt, also of Oshawa, said she might wait until prices come down a bit. “I’m not into spending that much on a TV right now.” On Friday, Samsung was the first out of the gate with its line of 3DTVs, with five LED edge-lit LCD models that range in size from 40 to 55 inches (and prices from $2,500 to $4,000), followed by plasma mod- els up to 63 inches next month. Other TV manu- facturers, includ- ing Panasonic, Sony, LG, Toshiba and Sharp, are all set to follow. The 3DTVs can also convert a 2D image into a 3D one, but the effect isn’t as striking as source material filmed or edited in 3D. “3DTV is the next major milestone in the industry’s never-ending quest to make the experience as breathtakingly real as pos- sible,” said Carmi Levy, a London, Ont.- based independent technology analyst. “It’s easy to see why so many moviegoers are eagerly anticipating being able to bring the 3D experience home as well.” Along with a 3D-capable HDTV, consum- ers will need the following to experience jump-off-the-screen stereoscopic visu- als at home: compatible 3D glasses that cost up to $250 per pair (and may or may not ship with the TV); a 3D-enabled Blu- ray disc player (Samsung currently has the only model available, for $400); and a new HDMI 1.4 cable, which can run between $70 and $350. The required “active shutter” 3D glasses are different than the “passive” or “polar- ized” glasses at the movie theatre. 3DTVs wirelessly transmit information to the battery-operated glasses, instructing them to alternately darken one eye, in synchronization with the refresh rate of the screen. Big box stores are rallying behind the launch of 3DTV. “3DTV is very exciting because people already know what 3D is and how good it looks,” said Martin Vander Velden, vice- president of merchandising for Best Buy Canada. “There has been a lot of education needed for other TV technologies -- most people still aren’t aware of the benefits of 1080p, for example -- but 3D is something people understand.” Early adopters aside, Mr. Vander Velden acknowledged many consumers will hold off until there is more 3D content available. Only three 3D-ready Blu-ray disc titles are available at this time: Monsters vs. Aliens 3D, My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Under the Sea 3D, each between $35 and $40. “But if you’re in the market for a new tele- vision, keep in mind 3DTVs are also the best HDTVs today, and because there isn’t much of a price premium for 3D, you prob- ably want to look at one of these (3D) mod- els, anyway,” said Mr. Vander Velden. In order to entice consumers, Best Buy is giving away a “kit” with the purchase of a new Samsung 3DTV. A $400 value, this consists of two pairs of 3D glasses and a copy of Monsters vs. Aliens 3D. “3DTV will be as commonplace as flat- screen HDTVs are today and colour televi- sion was a couple of generations ago,” said Mr. Levy. “But 3DTV finds itself at a very young and immature stage right now.” Content creators are also taking their time committing, he added. “And at $250 a pop, the prospect of my dog chewing on these glasses would make me lose sleep.” Marc Saltzman is a reporter for the Toronto Star Durham residents get the experience 3DTV3DTV SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Callah Burton tested out a pair of 3D glasses while checking out a 3D TV at Best Buy March 28.

In fact, there is still plenty of time for students to improve their grades. “In terms of the school year, April is deﬁ nitely a make it or break it month,” says Dr. Nick Whitehead, CEO and founder of Oxford Learning. “Even though there is not a lot of time left, this time, if used wisely, can help even the most troubled student turn things around.” With extra help from professional tutors such as Oxford Learning, students can not only improve their grades in spe- ciﬁ c subjects such as math, reading, or English, but they also can develop stronger study, organization, and thinking skills, as well as ﬁ ne tune their homework habits. According to Dr. White- head, it’s important for parents to remember that learning doesn’t stop simply because the school year is ending. “It’s never too late to make signiﬁ cant academic changes.

The now 20-year-old Ajax res- ident had enrolled at Durham College and it was on his mind to step away from his favourite sport in order to focus on aca- demics. Smith reconsidered and good thing for the Lords he did. Two years later, Smith has been named the men’s basket- ball most valuable player and, to top it off, the male athlete of the year at Durham after aver- aging 19.2 points a game while pulling down an OCAA-high 188 rebounds this past season. “After I won the MVP award, I thought that was the only award I was going to get,” says Smith, whose points-per-game average is the seventh highest single sea- son total in Lords history. “The last award, I heard my name and I got nervous actually.” Coming off a rookie season in which he was named the Lords’ male freshman of the year, Smith just kept progressing, becoming a beast on the backboards and the focal point of an impressive Durham offence. The key to it all, he says, comes down to his commitment to the game and desire to remain coachable. “I’d say it’s dedication and more listening to the coaches and being a role model for other players on my team. Things like that,” Smith says. In reaching such heights on a personal level in just two sea- sons, Smith has surprised many. Himself included. He admits not even in his wildest of dreams could he have predicted things to have gone so well so soon. “No, not at all,” he says. “I wasn’t even going to come for the basketball team at all. After high school, I was going to stop playing basketball, get a pro- fession and move on with life. My dad told me to continue to play basketball because it is something that I love doing and something that I am good at. So I continued.” Currently sixth on Durham’s all-time scoring list in men’s basketball, ahead of such greats as Ken Upshaw and Augusto Duquesne, Smith notes while the individual success and hon- ours have been great, he is still longing for playoff success. The latter will bring him back for a third season with the Lords this coming fall. “I want to get past the first round of the playoff,” says Smith, who was a first-team OCAA all- star. “The individual awards, I am quite happy that I got them, but the first-round playoff loss (two years in a row) still hurts.” The Lords will host the nation- al championships next season and, by virtue of that, have a bye into the tournament. Smith wasn’t the only local to receive some recognition from the college at the end of year banquet last week. Ajax’s Mandi Doris ended her stellar career at Durham by earning the Bonnie Ginter- Brown Leadership Award, given to the athlete who best exempli- fies outstanding leadership in the pursuit of excellence. She was also presented with her five-year award for service and the leadership award for the women’s volleyball team. Other award winners from Ajax included Ethan Boston winning the rookie of the year for men’s baseball, Jelani De Jonge earn- ing the Gord Oliver Award Lead- ership Award for men’s soccer and Allison Doris earning rook- ie-of-the-year honours in wom- en’s soccer.

Bantam team now off to Quebec PICKERING -- Four teen- age girls from Pickering have won a gold medal and now will be competing in a national bowling champi- onship. The Rouge Hill bantam bowling team captured vic- tory at the southern Ontar- io zone of the provincial five-pin championship at the Rexdale Bowlerama. The championship is con- sidered one of the most competitive and hardest to win. The team consist- ed of Audrey Martineau, Lauren Frechette, Steph- anie Grisolia and Hailey Spero, who are coached by Debbie Smith. Now they will be repre- senting southern Ontario at the 4-Steps to Stardom national championship May 1 in Gatineau, Quebec. It will be the first time in 14 years that Rouge Hill Bowl has sent a team to nation- als. The event will run over three days and consists of 21 games. SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- A team of Pickering bowlers won the gold medal at the southern Ontario Zone Provincial Five-Pin championship in the Bantam division, and will be off to Quebec for Nationals in May. From left to right are Audrey Martineau, Lauren Frechette, Debbie Smith (coach), Stephanie Grisolia and Hailey Spero. BOWLING Pickering team rolls to gold medal HOCKEY Dunlops bow out of playoffs BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- When the Whitby Dunlops bowed out in four straight games to the Dundas Real McCoys at this time a year ago, there was a gener- al consensus they had lost to the better team. This year, not so much. Although they won only one game in the Major League Hockey final this time around, the Dunlops were right there with the Real McCoys in the series, say those who run the club. The difference turned out to be red-hot goalie Dan Turple, no stranger to these parts. The 25-year-old Turple, who starred for the Oshawa Generals some seven years ago, stood every bit as tall as his 6-foot-6 frame would suggest for Dundas. “I would have to say he was the MVP of this series, and that’s what they brought him in for,” said Dunlops coach and GM Justin Cardwell. “My hat’s off to him. He played great and definitely led his team to the victory.” Even in the clinching game, a 6-5 Real McCoys win in Dundas Friday, Turple made several spectacular saves among his 34, according to Steve Cardwell, Justin’s dad and the team’s president. “I think one of the things that worked really well for us in the final series was our speed, at all positions,” said the senior Cardwell. “When momentum shifted and we had our stretches there, we were very hard to control, but we just ran up against a very, very hot goaltender.” In fact, the Dunlops out- shot the Real McCoys in all four games that they lost, some by a significant mar- gin. In Friday’s clincher, Whitby held a 39-26 advantage on the shot clock, but couldn’t recover from falling behind 5-1 by the midway point. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 31, 201018 AP • Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? • Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? • Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home?

The Pickering native packed up shop and left for Henderson, Nevada, joining up with one of the top high school team’s in all of the United States, Findlay College Prep. In his first year, Joseph helped Findlay to a nation- al championship, some- thing they are in conten- tion to win once again, thanks in large part to the 6-foot-3 point guard, who averages 18.6 points, 5.1 assists and 2.5 steals, all team-highs. But before that story plays out, Joseph will hit the floor tonight in Colum- bus, Ohio to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game, a showcase of the top high school players across the country. Nearly 70 per cent of players selected to com- pete in this game reach the NBA, with names such as Lebron James, Kobe Bry- ant, Kevin Durant and others serving as notable alum. “Man, it feels awesome. It feels great,” Joseph, a for- mer Pickering High School student, said of being named to the game. “It’s shocking sometimes. You sit down and you watch Lebron on television and just a few years back he was in my shoes. Now I am trying to follow. Joseph, in his final year at Findlay, is in the process of deciding which NCAA Division I school to sign a scholarship with. According to the website rivals.com, run by Yahoo. com, Joseph has offers from five schools including Connecticut, Texas, UNLV, Villanova and Minnesota, where brother Devoe plays for the Golden Gophers. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 31, 201019 AP SALES POSITION Currently excepting resume's for an outside road salesperson Applicants must have min. 3 yrs sales experience in related construction/agricultu- ral industries. • Excellent communication skills with high level of interaction • Computer skills such as excel, word, general internet functions, email, data processing, lead management • Ontario Class "A" license, must provide clean driver's abstract and police background abstract, current Canadian Passport • Ability to work in an ever growing fast moving environment with little supervision • Some ﬁ nancial background understanding percentages, taxes, quoting • Excellent spelling and writing skills • Exceptional team attitude Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
