However, while the students are staying on Canadian ground, it won’t exactly be on familiar territory. Grade 10 to 12 Dunbarton students are going to Waswanipi, in central Quebec, which has a population of 1,473. There they’ll be staying with Cree families for the week of May 23 to May 30 and experiencing life as the people of Waswanipi know it. But before the Dunbarton students head off, 22 students from the Waswanipi Youth Band Coun- cil will come to Pickering on May 9 for a week to experience life in Durham. “It’ll be different from what we’re used to,” said Dunbarton student Melissa Sutaroski. Her family will be hosting a student before she heads to Waswanipi herself, as will the others taking part in the exchange. She acknowledged it’ll probably be the same for the students who will come to Pickering. The exchange is being done through the YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada Program. The low- cost program aims to give youth opportunities See PICKERING page 12 From Waswanipi to Pickering CREE STUDENTS COMING TO CITY FOR A WEEK IN MAY BRODY HAMILTON PHOTO PICKERING -- Melissa Sutaroski, Matthew Gregory and Kysa Bashir of Dunbarton High School are growing tomato plants to be sold to raise money for a Waswanipi exchange trip.

Correction One man arrested, Canada-wide warrant issued for second man PICKERING -- Two more people have been charged in connection with a Pickering double murder, including the father of a man already facing first-degree murder charges. On May 5, 2009, the bodies of Harjinder Singh Sand- hu, 28, of Brampton, and Puneet Singh Chhina, 26, of Nepean, were found in the trunk of a car in rural Pickering near Rosebank Road and 4th Concession. On April 21, police arrested Ganesh Singh, 56, of Markham, and charged him with accessory after the fact to murder. He is the father of 29-year-old Vijay Singh, a resident of Toronto and Burnaby, British Columbia, who was charged in February with two counts each of first-degree murder, kidnapping, forc- ible confinement and use of a firearm in commission of an offence. A Canada-wide arrest warrant has also been issued for Zaki Goffur, 34, of Richmond Hill, who has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Police believe he is currently out of the country. John Le, 38, of Markham, was arrested in January, charged with two counts each of first-degree murder, kidnapping and using a firearm in commission of an offence. Media reports following discovery of the bodies indi- cated Mr. Sandhu had been scheduled to appear in court in Windsor June 1, 2009 to face charges of import- ing cocaine. In late December, Durham police said they’d recov- ered DNA linked to a potential suspect. In an appeal for more information issued Dec. 22, investigators said they’d tracked the movements of the dead men in the hours prior to the fatal shootings and travel of the sus- pects afterward. Police concluded the men were mur- dered in the area of Kennedy Road and Sheppard Ave- nue in Toronto, after which their bodies were moved to Pickering. Durham cops conducted a canvass of that area, seeking potential witnesses. According to information released by Durham police in December, the victims travelled from Brampton to Toronto May 4, 2009, and were murdered there. The bodies were placed in the trunk of their own Nissan and driven to Pickering, where the car was abandoned. A second car was also driven east to the area in which the bodies were left, cops said. Police said a cellphone belonging to one of the dead men remained in the second car used by the killers; that vehicle was driven north to Whitchurch- Stouffville, then back south to the Kennedy Road and Sheppard Avenue area.

The officer suffered minor injuries in the melee, one of two incidents in which kids clashed with cops at the location this week. In a second incident Wednesday, an officer was threat- ened as he attempted to make an arrest at the plaza. Durham police said in Tuesday’s incident, a security guard had asked youths loitering at the plaza, at Rossland Road and Harwood Avenue, to move along after one of the boys interfered with a woman and child entering a store. The guard was “having difficulty” with the youths, police said. A police officer patrolling the area saw the situation and inter- vened, calling for backup as he was assaulted during a struggle. Additional cops arrived and arrested three suspects, also dis- persing a crowd of about 150 teenagers who had assembled. The first officer on the scene was treated for minor injuries. Two youths, aged 16 and 17, were charged with assaulting police, escaping custody and causing a disturbance while a third was cautioned and issued a provincial offence ticket for trespassing. On Wednesday, a police officer was in the act of arresting a youth who had refused to leave the same plaza when a group of youths began to approach. The cop released the suspect, who quickly fled the scene, police said. The officer wasn’t injured.

Trial disrupted as Crown witness clams up BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Karl O’Reggio’s killers were pumped up and singing along to the radio as they were driven away from the Ajax murder scene, a jury heard Thurs- day. And it was Aimee Margaret McIntyre, Mr. O’Reggio’s former girlfriend, who drove the men to and from the scene, a Crown witness testified. Nathan “Bigs” Kelly and Jonathan “Banks” Ebanks were blood-spattered and agitated after going to Mr. O’Reggio’s home to confront him about messages he’d sent to Ms. McIntyre, Crown wit- ness Natasha Visscher said. Mr. Ebanks, who’d gone to the Tresh- er Court house armed with a large knife, fretted the attack had been lethal, she said. “Banks says, ‘S---, I think I killed him’,” Ms. Visscher recalled. Ms. McIntyre, 28, of Bobcaygeon, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree mur- der in the killing of Mr. O’Reggio. The Crown contends Ms. McIntyre, who had an acrimonious break-up with the 33- year-old Mr. O’Reggio, convinced Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks to kill the man. Ms. Visscher, who now lives in Tasma- nia, appeared by video link to give her testimony. She said she was a 15-year-old living with Ms. McIntyre when she went along for the ride from Bobcaygeon to Ajax the day Mr. O’Reggio died. Along the way the two men talked about “poking” Mr. O’Reggio and dis- cussed how an injured shoulder might make him vulnerable, she said. When the car, driven by Ms. McIntyre, arrived in Ajax, it was parked in a schoolyard and Ms. McIntyre directed the men to the victim’s house, she testified. Ms. Visscher said Ms. McIntyre advised her to make sure the doors of the Ford Focus were not locked “because the boys would be in a hurry”. A short time later, the men jogged up with bloodied clothes and jumped in the car, she said. Ms. McIntyre was worried a car in the area might belong to a friend of Mr. O’Reggio’s but relaxed when the vehi- cle was out of sight, Ms. Visscher said. She said that while the two men at first seemed agitated about the violent con- frontation, they too returned to normal. “They were pumped,” she said. “They started singing along to songs on the radio and things like that.” Earlier in the trial Mr. Ebanks, who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for his role in the killing, created a dis- ruption in the trial when he refused to answer any more questions. Mr. Ebanks, called as a Crown wit- ness, had earlier described how he had stabbed Mr. O’Reggio six times while Mr. Kelly held the victim in a choke hold. He was being cross-examined on incon- sistencies in his testimony by prosecu- tor Indy Kandola when he suddenly announced he wouldn’t cooperate any further. “I’m not saying no more,” he announced Wednesday afternoon. Recalled Thursday morning, he main- tained his refusal. Earlier, Mr. Kandola had asked Mr. Ebanks if he was tailoring his testimony so that Ms. McIntyre wouldn’t be impli- cated in Mr. O’Reggio’s killing. “You’re worried that it might get back to the penitentiary that you’re a rat, right?” Mr. Kandola asked. “Yeah,” Mr. Ebanks responded. “Cor- rect.” The trial, before Superior Court Justice David Salmers and a jury, continues.

Whole carpets of tiny, delicate blossoms are pushing up through the leaf litter in the woods these days, each more exquisite than the next. They last such a brief time, bursting into bloom before the tree canopy leafs out overhead and grabs all the sunshine. My favourite is spring beauty. Not even ankle high, clusters of tiny white flowers veined with pink appear on a thread-like stem above twin, pointed leaves, open- ing in the morning sun and closing again at dusk. And I’m always thrilled to find hepaticas, small lavender flowers with shamrock-shaped leaves. Who doesn’t love violets? The earliest ones out have tiny white blossoms, the next ones yellow. Only later do the com- mon purple and blue hues appear, cul- tivars of which many gardeners plant in shady places for ground cover. Wild leeks make use of spring sunshine by thrusting up clumps of bright green leaves as soon as the snow melts, spears that melt away in turn before the small white flowers appear. Trout lilies, too, push up their lance-shaped leaves, speckled like a trout, before their nodding yellow blos- soms uncurl. There’s a good reason the trillium is Ontario’s provincial flower. They’re the tall- est and showiest and, where they haven’t all been dug up by rapacious gardeners wanting to plant them in their yards, they make a brave display just as the woods leaf out. Scattered among the snowy white ones you might find less common red trilliums. And in damp woods shaded by hemlocks, a rare painted trillium. Like so many plants across the planet, our “spring ephemerals” have evolved curious shapes to ensure their own pollination. Sit for a while on a fallen log and watch queen bumblebees, just awakened from their winter sleep, visit a patch of squirrel corn, drawn by the perfumed scent. Serious life business for the bee and for the flower, and that both give pleasure to humans is an added bonus. Most of our precious spring flowers are highly selective about where they grow -- basically, in undisturbed deciduous woods. Two centuries ago, before Euro- pean settlers started hacking and hewing, cutting and clearing, wildflowers surely spread like a blanket throughout Upper Canada’s magnificent old-growth forests. Now you’re lucky to find them in the few remnant woodlots saved from destruction -- Altona Forest, Heber Down, Claremont Conservation Area, Wilmot Creek, Soper Creek, Purple Woods. Lynde Shores Con- servation Area in south Whitby always has an impressive display. So this is it -- a brief window of time to rush out to the woods to witness the very best beauties of spring. Be sure to stick to the path when you’re out there. You never know what tender, exquisite sprout might be pushing up, easily crushed by human feet.

Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far- flung corners of the planet. Be sure to see the spring flowers before they’re gone Ready for the knowledge economy in Durham Region The expansion of post-secondary educa- tion options in Durham will be a key com- ponent in transforming the region and will help cultivate the fundamentals that are the basis of success in a knowledge-based economy. So says Don Drummond, the highly vis- ible and respected chief economist for TD Bank, in a recent visit to business leaders in Oshawa. The location of a permanent Trent Uni- versity campus in Oshawa, growth of the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy and the established presence of Dur- ham College all combine to create more opportunities for Durham Region youth to earn their academic credentials right here at home. Mr. Drummond lauded the strat- egy to focus on the growth of academia in Oshawa and, by extension, Durham Region while helping to diversify its economy and rely less on manufacturing. The proxim- ity of post-secondary opportunities, too, should serve to improve the statistics relat- ed to high school education. Oshawa, for example, has lower than average rates of secondary school achievement, Mr. Drum- mond noted. In a future economy that will almost cer- tainly require some form of post-second- ary education, it becomes vitally impor- tant for Durham Region’s young adults to acknowledge and avail themselves of the educational opportunities that exist at the post-secondary level. Whether learning a trade at the Dur- ham College Skills Training Centre, work- ing towards a degree at UOIT or Trent, or obtaining a diploma in one of the wide range of courses offered at Durham Col- lege, young people can literally choose their educational path and build impor- tant new-economy skills. Those skills can then be transferred to workplaces here at home as Durham Region’s communities lure new industries and businesses to their municipalities. In that regard, the long view is one of optimism. As Trent establishes itself more completely in Durham, as UOIT continues to grow in stature and draw new students, and as Durham College grows its roots ever deeper, young people here at home will be able to learn professions and trades on a par with other regions, but at a fraction of the traditional cost for out-of-region post- secondary education. A brighter future for a vast majority of young adults in Durham Region does indeed lie ahead. The possibilities are lit- erally endless. And it’s a made-in-Dur- ham solution that acknowledges the future with keen motivation, a strong educational foundation and a commitment to knowl- edge, innovation and success. - Durham Region Media Group Margaret Carney durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 23, 20107 AP 2SHQ+RXVH1(:6)5207+(&$67/( ZZZFDVWOHHGFRP 5(*,67(512:)256(37(0%(5(152/0(17$//*,5/6'$<$1'%2$5',1**5$'(6 Offering an exciting curriculum, students design and build robots, author online writing forums and zipline through the wilderness.

Pickering and Ajax switch number of representatives BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Pickering is losing a Catho- lic school board trustee and Ajax is gain- ing one, following a slight shift in the board’s electoral population. The change in Catholic board repre- sentation is effective for the 2010 election, and for any by-elec- tion which immedi- ately follows, accord- ing to a report pre- sented at a March 29 special meeting held specifically to deal with the reassign- ment. “It’s not a thing where there’s any choice,” said Paul Pulla, the board’s director of education, in an interview. The option was the only one trustees could choose after designating north Durham as a low population area and allocating one trustee to represent it as a whole, Mr. Pulla said. Without the designation, its electoral population there is not enough to give it even one trustee. The area has received the designation since 1997. “It sort of tied our hands,” said Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty in an interview after the board meeting, regarding the choice to designate the north as a low population area. The only way around the loss of a Pickering trustee would have been to eliminate the single representative for Uxbridge, Scugog, and Brock, and split them up to be grouped with the south- ern municipalities, Trustee McCafferty said. The number of trustees is based on the board’s electoral population, which is around 94,000. About 100,000 is needed to be eligible for a ninth member. Although Pickering and Ajax have always been close in their electoral pop- ulation, this year there was enough of a change to tilt the scale. “The trend over the last previous two elections was in that direction,” Mr. Pulla said. The difference in their voters is about 600 people. Student population does not impact the trustee allocation. “Whoever gets elected is going to be busy,” Trustee McCafferty said. “But it’s in the same situation as Janice Oldman is in Ajax (right now). “I hate to lose a trustee in Pickering but that’s the way the electoral is split,” he added. Both Pickering trustees and Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones voted against the new distribution motion, Trustee McCaffer- ty said. The five other trustees were in favour.

The last $12,000 from the 2005 gala purchased a portable bladder scanner for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital, specifically for the complex con- tinuing care unit, which recently moved to a newly-opened floor above the emer- gency department. The annual gala, hosted by Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, has been going strong ever since the 2005 inaugural event. The theme in 2005 was the Canadian Year of the Veteran. Tracy Paterson, vice president of development for the Rouge Valley Foun- dation, explained the hospital chose to carefully spend the funds from the first event on much-needed smaller equip- ment. “Bit by bit, the department has been spending the money on the things they need,” she said. The Mayor’s Gala has raised more than $500,000 since 2005. The gala continu- ously supports the hospital, as well as different local causes chosen each year. Ms. Paterson said the donation going to the CCU is quite fitting, since many of the patients are veterans. “I’ve certainly seen a lot of our friends from the Legion here over the years,” she said. Dr. Romas Stas, associate chief of staff, explained the portable bladder scanner, an ultrasound machine used to calcu- late the bladder volume in a patient, is a non-invasive technology. In the past, he said, bladder volume was measured by catheterization, which was painful and could lead to infection. They were also time consuming for the attending nurse. “It’s great for us and it’s great for the patients that we all look after,” he said. He thanked the mayor and the corpo- rate sponsors for their continuous gen- erosity. Mayor Ryan said in reality “I’m a con- duit. I’m very proud, pleased and happy I am able to attract great corporate spon- sors.” He reminded those in attendance that the 2010 Mayor’s Gala will have an Ara- bian Nights theme. “We’re going to have another great gala this year,” he said. Ms. Paterson took the time to recog- nize volunteers in the spirit of National Volunteer Week. She thanked the auxil- iary volunteers who have always been a big help to the hospital, as well as Mayor Ryan, and the corporate sponsors who were in attendance, including represen- tatives from the Ontario Power Genera- tion, Scotiabank and Tribute Communi- ties. “All of these people support us in a vol- unteer sense,” she said. MAYOR’S GALA PROCEEDS Ajax-Pickering hospital gets another gift BRODY HAMILTON PHOTO AJAX -- Nurse Amanda Whyte showed Mayor Dave Ryan how the new portable bladder scanner works on Dr. Romas Stas’s hand at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital on April 19. The bladder scanner will reduce the number of catheterizations performed in the hospital. It’s great for us and it’s great for the patients that we all look after.

Kysa Bashir is also excited for the opportunity, a chance to see the way of life in a different part of the country. “I thought it’d be a good experience to see how other com- munities live and how the students live their lives,” she said. She added her mother, who’s originally from Iran, is happy that her daughter will experience life outside of her day-to-day life, and is often concerned with the bubble that youth often find themselves in. James Blair, the teacher organiz- ing the trip, explained a large part of the exchange will be a focus on recycling. Since Durham has an elaborate recycling program, the students plan to share their knowl- edge on the subject, and perhaps show the Waswanipi students how to expand their own. Mr. Blair is confident Dunbarton students will glean important infor- mation from the Waswanipi kids. They’ll also focus on growing and eating local foods, he said, and he hopes the two groups can open up a farmer’s market, an initiative the Dunbarton students started last year. “The goal to this is to enhance youth experiences,” he said. “They are to plan, organize, advertise and make their community open for the folks coming to visit.” Dunbarton student Matthew Gregory, who is not going on the exchange himself, but has been heavily involved in the planning pro- cess, has made contacts with local politicians, such as Pickering-Scar- borough East MP Dan McTeague, to let them know the students will be in Pickering. Matthew said although the stu- dents will get to see Toronto attrac- tions such as the CN Tower, and other parts of downtown, the goal is to show them simply how students live their lives in Durham. “We’re trying to keep the activities local in Pickering and show them what we actually do every day,” he said. Even when they go downtown, Mr. Blair said, they’ll take the GO train to see how transit works in Durham. The students will also come to Dunbarton for a day, will hopeful- ly catch a Toronto Blue Jays game, see Kensington Market, see the Pickering waterfront, visit Ontario Power Generation, catch a rugby game and do the simple stuff kids do, including bowling. Principal Carol Maher-Hawken called the program unique and said the students have been planning it since the fall. “It’s such a great opportunity for the students that are taking part,” she said.

DURHAM -- Just more than 600 Durham Region employees made the provincial “sunshine list”, including 405 police officers and personnel. The list includes anyone who works in the public sector and makes more than $100,000 a year. The top Durham earner was the Region’s chief administrative officer Garry Cubitt, who was paid $292,249.51 in 2009. That’s up from the $271,106.53 Mr. Cubitt earned in 2008. The number of $100,000 earners jumped signif- icantly in 2009 over the previous year, when there were 276 employees above the mark, including 158 with the police. There were 614 last year. Garth Johns, the Region’s human resources com- missioner, defends the number of people on the list. “I don’t think there’s anything particularly remarkable about it. Last year, a number were hov- ering around the mark,” Mr. Johns says. With $100,000 the cutoff, “Now, there’s a whole whack on the list.” He noted $100,000 is “still a lot of money. The line was set 15 years ago. It becomes less meaningful as time goes on. But, it’s still a lot of money.” If the mark had risen with inflation over the past 15 years, it would now be about $130,000, he says. “I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t see 600 people over that mark,” Mr. Johns states. “From our side, noth- ing unusual has happened.” Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles made $237,951.82 last year. Another top earner was Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health, who made $284,117.95, up from the $216,793.72 he earned in 2008. Mr. Johns said the provincial government and the Ontario Medical Association “negotiated a revised salary schedule for medical officers of health because they were running so short of them.” The Province is paying for the increase in Dr. Kyle’s salary, but the increase “is recorded by us.” REMUNERATION Regional employee ‘sunshine list’ grows by leaps and bounds Where the sun shines brightest I don’t think there’s anything remarkable about it.

Though few look forward to cleaning the gutters, it’s even less fun for those who get hurt doing so. To avoid turning an afternoon cleaning the gutters into an afternoon at the emergen- cy room, consider the following safety tips. * Inspect the ladder. Make sure the lad- der is stable, all steps are still intact and not wobbly, and enlist a helper to hold the ladder if possible. * Don’t become Stretch Armstrong. Avoid an unnecessary safety risk by reaching too far when cleaning out the gutters. While get- ting down off the ladder and moving it might seem redundant and tiresome, it’s also safe and can help homeowners avoid a fall. * Don’t just use hands. Many times hands can do an adequate job of cleaning out the gutters all on their own. However, some- times leaves and other debris in gutters can be very stubborn, requiring a tool such as a screwdriver to remove. Wear a tool belt when cleaning gutters to avoid having to go down the ladder and ﬁ nd a tool. Also, if no tool is readily available, chances are you will attempt to remove stubborn leaves and de- Stay Safe When Spring Cleaning Gutters bris by hand, increasing the chances you will lose your balance and fall in the process. * Don’t do it alone. Whenever possible, it’s best to have a helper on hand when clean- ing gutters. If no one can be outside help- ing, someone should at least be inside and checking on you at regular intervals to en- sure you’re safe. Falling while cleaning the gutters is bad enough, but doing so with no one around could prove disastrous. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 23, 2010April 24, 2010 only Victori a St. E .Tricont A v e .Thickson Rd .

Homeowners in areas that experience heavy snow or rainfall each win- ter likely do not look forward to this inventory, fear- ful of what another harsh winter did to their property. Fallen tree branches, frozen ground and winter wind storms can do a number on even the most well-mani- cured lawns, turning a summertime labor of love into a nightmare. While homeowners might not be able to do anything about the weather, there are ways to revitalize a lawn each spring. And you don’t have to be an accomplished landscaper to handle the task. The following tips can help bring your luscious lawn back to life, helping make winter a distant memory. * Remove all debris from your yard. Debris includes any trash in the yard, wood, large roots, fallen branch- es, and even stones. The presence of trash such as bro- ken glass or even faded paper products such as cups or bags is not only unsafe for the environment, but it can prove harmful to anyone who might be out in the yard once your grass grows, especially if you have children. Oftentimes, winter winds can blow trash from nearby garbage cans across the yard, no matter how neatly ho- meowners put out their trash. * Smooth the soil. Once all debris been removed, ex- amine the soil for any abnormalities that might need to be smoothed out. Use a spade or rake to smooth any ar- eas that aren’t up to par. Next you’ll want to loosen the soil as well, something that can be done with a garden rake. Any unsightly areas, such as humps or ditches, should either be smoothed out or ﬁ lled in, depending on which is appropriate. This can be done with some soil and should not prove too costly. * Consider seeding the lawn if need be. For lawns that took a particularly harsh beating over the winter, consider seeding the lawn to help revitalize it. When seeding a lawn, be sure you choose the right seeds. Different regions respond better to different types of grass. But don’t be intimidated if you don’t know the correct grass to choose. Simply ask a landscaper or consult a lawn care specialist at a nearby home im- provement center as to which type of grass is the best ﬁ t your region and your yard. When you’re read to seed, the seed can be scattered by hand for smaller yards, or with a drop spreader for larger lawns. When spreading with a drop spreader, use the suggested amount of seed on the bag (even a little less seed should do the trick) and make sure you spread out the rows evenly in the same direction. Once you’ve sowed the ﬁ rst part of your lawn in one direc- tion, you can crisscross back over that part at a 90-de- gree angle, making sure you keep equal distance and calibrate your spreader at the same speed. * Add mulch for aesthetic and practical appeal. Mulch helps the soil by allowing it to retain moisture, making it more conducive to growing healthy grass. It can also add aesthetic appeal to a lawn. When laying mulch down, keep the mulch at roughly a quarter-inch to ensure your lawn will grow in nicely. Revitalize Your Lawn After a Long Winter Home, Lawn & Garden Advertising Feature durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 23, 201018 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comEntertainment TELEVISION Ajax teen makes the cut for TV show Wilderness survival challenge ‘amazing’ experience for adventurous youth BY MANDI HARGRAVE mhargrave@durhamregion.com AJAX -- An Ajax teenager is one of this year’s challengers trying to become the ultimate survivor on season two of Survive This. The show, with Survivorman Les Stroud, follows teens aged 13 to 17 as they are tested physical- ly, emotionally and intellectually through a series of half-hour epi- sodes. “One of the main reasons I want- ed to be on the show is because I really like animals and nature. The episode from the first sea- son that real- ly motivated me to try to get on the show was the swamp epi- sode,” said 14-year-old Ian McBain. “Most people would think ‘Oh gross, a swamp, there’s leaches and stuff.’ That was the turning point for me, I was like ‘I have to get on this show, that looks so fun, so many different experiences.’” Before heading out into the wil- derness to fend for themselves, the group of teens took a three- day survival program with David Arama, a survival expert. “At survival school, they taught us everything like shelter build- ing, how to start a fire, wild edi- bles, compass using -- things you’d learn at Scouts -- just in case you haven’t done it before.” Ian enjoys being outdoors and spends quite a bit of time at the Greenwood Conservation Area in Ajax. With aspirations of being a biologist, he loves collecting vari- ous specimens on his outdoor excursions. His room is full of all sorts of dead insects, bugs, skulls and snakeskins. After describing the experience as “amazing”, Ian said he’d gladly go on the show again. “When I was there, the main things I learned were to trust other people even if you have doubts and that I have to believe in myself. Before I was kind of like a wimp. I never wanted to try anything adventurous, but after that, I’m trying everything new and trying rock climbing and stuff like that.” Unable to reveal too much about what took place during the filming of the show, he said one of the tougher aspects of surviving was getting through the nights. “You had to get over the fact that you were with a group of strang- ers essentially and just out in the wilderness and in wolf and bear and all these other animal terri- tories and you only have, if you have one, a fire to protect you. It’s kind of difficult at first, but you get used to it later on.” The 13-part series began this week on YTV. IAN MCBAIN “The main things I learned were to trust other people even if you have doubts and that I have to believe in myself. Ian McBain “ART EXHIBITION Twelve artists showing work here PICKERING -- With a little help from his friends, artist Patrick Hickman is exhibiting work at the Pickering Civic Complex. The Patrick Hickman and Friends show features the work of 12 artists, many of them local res- idents, to April 30. Hickman’s works have been shown at several venues in Dur- ham, including the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Whitby’s Station Gallery and at the Pickering and Ajax librar- ies. He is also a teacher who has worked with students through programs offered to children, youth and adults at the City of Pickering, Town of Ajax and Dur- ham College. Also showing work are: Alo Rakhit, Gilbert Rahem, Alma Kelly, Sylvia Barker, Jack Gardner, Usharani Nameirakpam, Rich- ard Jules, Gord McKay, Alicia Lit- tleford, Joseph Mendez and Sally Cudlip. The Civic Complex is at One The Esplanade. The show is a part of Pickering’s Experience Art program. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Rockin’ Ajax AJAX -- The Latency band members, including Ryan Stead, left, and Brandon Lehti, performed for Romeo Dallaire Public School students last week in support of SASS, the School Alliance of Student Songwriters.

WATCH the video story at dur- hamregion.com Ajax Creative Arts show April 23-25 AJAX -- Husband-and-wife artists Don and Isobel Piggott share the same home, but she works upstairs and he toils down- stairs. That’s probably a good thing, since when it comes to criticizing each other’s work, Isobel Piggott says it’s pretty one-sided. “I don’t criticize his (work) but he criticizes mine,” she says in an interview at their Ajax home. “There’s nothing to criticize in mine,” Don Piggott retorts. “I try to help her but she won’t listen.” His interest in art stretches back to his boy- hood, when he drew sketches that appeared in his local newspaper in England. But dis- covering art was a happy accident for Iso- bel Piggott. She went to a sewing class at Ajax High School but it was cancelled, so she attended an Ajax Creative Arts’ meeting there instead. Later, when her husband was going to Oshawa for art lessons, Isobel Pig- gott came along, saying, ‘If I don’t like it, I won’t bother’. She did like it and they have been ACA members since 1989. Don Piggott is current- ly serving a stint as president of the club. “They were all just very nice,” Isobel Pig- gott says of the first time she went and why she returned. “If you didn’t want to do any- thing, you just sat and talked. If you did, they left you alone.” As for media, she says she “tried them all to see what I liked and I still do them all. “I like landscapes but they don’t like me,” she quips. When travelling, she looks for interest- ing scenes to photograph and subsequently paint but Isobel Piggott is more likely to cre- ate the scene from her imagination. Ajax Creative Arts has around 100 mem- bers, started in 1966, and it remains one of the only places around where an artist can sit down with his or her peers and chat, work and receive criticism. Club times are Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. “They work all day and it’s the only chance they get to paint,” Don Piggott notes of the evening hours. The Piggotts will be showing work in the ACA 2010 Spring Art Show and Sale. It’s April 23 (10 a.m. to 9 p.m.), April 24 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and April 25 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at the Village Community Centre, 22 Sherwood Rd. W. (at Linton Avenue), in Ajax. Admission is free and more than 50 local artists will be displaying their art. As well, there’s a tea room and a free draw for an orig- inal painting. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 23, 201019 AP 5050++5050++ SHOWSHOWSHOW FREE ADMISSION Metroland Durham Region Media Group presents Hwy. #2 Gibb St. Champlain Ave.Thornton St.Stevenson Rd.Park Rd.Thickson Rd.Hwy. 401Whitby OshawaCome experience the areas leading professionals catering to the 50+ market LIVE WELL, LOVE LOTS, LAUGH OFTEN 800 Champlain Ave, Oshawa 2 FUN DAYS!

The Pickering writer’s 17th book, The Chiliad Murder(s), is set in a swanky condo overlooking Lake Ontario. Hall him- self lives in a condo and, understand- ably, “interest swirling around the book from (Pick- ering’s) The Millennium residence centres around, ‘am I in it?’,” he says in an e-mail. “A few have caught on that chiliad is a synonym for millennium.” In The Chiliad Murder(s), a skeleton is discovered in the condo’s roof-top storage room and the residents are told the murder- er is among them, making everybody a sus- pect. You can get the book through Chap- ters in Ajax. Or get an autographed copy from Hall himself on April 29, when he leads an Aspiring Writers’ Workshop at the Petti- coat Branch of the Pickering Public Library at 7 p.m. Hall will speak on how to create a novel, get published and also share some of his experience.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN Durham Region Senior Games set to kick off on Monday Winners have chance to attend Ontario Senior Games in Oshawa BY BRENT BURRY bburry@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- If you are 55 and over, you’ve got a chance to participate in the Durham Region Senior Games. There are 15 events and winners from these summer games, which start April 26, qualify to participate in Actifest 2010, the provincial championships. And this year they are being held in Oshawa starting Aug. 10. The Durham games run throughout the eight municipalities in Durham. Last year, there were approximately 500 par- ticipants in the games, but this year games organizers are hoping for an increase. “We’ve found that there’s a very low percent- age of seniors in Durham who have ever real- ly heard of it. So our goal this year is to make more seniors aware of what we have to offer and hopefully by doing that we can increase participation,” said Bob Taylor, chairman of the games. Taylor says the card games are the most pop- ular events. “Pretty dedicated card players for cribbage, euchre and bid euchre. But we do have some pretty good numbers for slo-pitch, mainly because you have more people on the team. Also the bowling events, five-pin bowling is a summer event, we had a pretty good turnout last year,” said Taylor. Games such as shuffleboard and lawn bowl- ing are not as popular, so organizers are trying to build them up. Additionally, there will be a new event this year: pickleball. “It’s a racketball game, played on a badmin- ton court with a lower net, played with an oversized paddle and whiffleball,” said Taylor. The Durham games experienced some financial difficulty during the recession, but Taylor says he thinks they are over the hump. “Last year, our main concern was financial stability and we’ve managed to pick up a cou- ple of corporate sponsors. That helped us out immensely,” he said. Registration forms are available at seniors’ centres and Legions in Durham.

Eight sheets saw six division and two consolation events compet- ed. ‘A’ division club champi- ons were Tim March, Chris VanHuyse, Pat Janssen and Tyler Anderson who won the event over the Warren Leslie foursome. In B, Gerry Pinkney won over David Gaudette, in C, Doug Peter- son over Dan Deschenes, in D, Wil MacFadyen over Joe Mundy, in E, Mike Atkin over Brian Hawke, and in F, Tim LaRoche over Mike Potter. The annual Annan- dale Last Chance Bonspiel started on April 17, and 28 teams were guaranteed three games. Sixteen teams advanced to the Sunday breakfast and final games. Winning the first event and $600 was the Annan- dale Mark Kean team over Annandale’s Arnold Retz. The second event saw Whit- by’s Ray Balachoreck over the Oshawa Golf’s Tom Clancy, third had Gerry Pinkney over Bill Goodchild of Tam, and the fourth event was tied between David Lloyd and the Jeff Clark’s Dalewood team. At the bon- spiel conclusion and youth closing banquet, the ice was turned over to the skaters. Another Annandale junior has had success this sea- son. Joan Moore competed in three provincial cham- pionships this winter, win- ning the bantam mixed on the Tyler Sagan team out of the City View Curling Club in Ottawa. Their team stole the extra end in an exciting final. Joan also plays in the girls’ competitions with the Carly Howard team, daugh- ter of Glenn Howard, and they were at both the ban- tam and junior provincial championships. Another highlight of the season for the girls was a bonspiel win in Sweden during the March break. If you order tickets to the Capital One Canadian Open, tell them ‘Annan- dale’ and $10 will go to the club for every ticket sold. The event is to be held at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa from Jan. 26-30, 2011. Tickets are on sale at the GM Centre box office, or by phone 1-877-436- 1811.

April 13-18 competing in the final 2009-10 Capital One Grand Slam of Curling event, the Grey Power Players’ cham- pionship. Team Howard made it to the final eight qualifiers, but lost to world champion Kevin Koe, and collected $7,000. Koe lost to the 2006 Olympic gold medal winner Brad Gush- ue rink who lost the final to 2010 Olympic gold medal winner Kevin Martin. How- ever, Howard placed third in the season performance ranking with 26 points, and earned a bonus of $10,000.

BADMINTON Yakura bouncing back from injury PICKERING -- Ten days prior his departure for Lima, Peru for the qualification of the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, Nyl Yakura suffered an inju- ry during one of his training nights, leaving his left ankle with a second degree sprain. As he was unable to train, run or practise for three weeks, Yakura’s dream to play badminton at the YOG, being held in Singapore this August, was shattered. But not all was lost. Despite slightly wob- bly legs, Yakura returned to the court and played at the senior provincial champi- onships, managing to reach semifinals in men’s doubles and mixed doubles. However, after that his plan to compete at the Dutch Junior Open in Holland was cancelled as well. Yet another comeback fol- lowed, though. Recovery from the injury continued to progress and he was able to play at the junior U19 pro- vincial championships at Georgian College in Barrie. Though this is only his first year U19, Yakura still man- aged to make the finals in singles before losing to Ser- gij Shatenko of Ottawa 21-17 and 21-16. In the semis, Yakura defeat- ed Nathan Lee in three long games. In the boys’ doubles, the Pickering resident played with Andrew Lau for the first time and they managed to win gold after defeating the defending 2009 champion Nathan Lee and Timothy Lam. They lost the first game 13- 21 only to rebound and win the next two 21-9 and 21-15. And, this week, Yakura is competing at the world junior badminton cham- pionships in Guadalajara, Mexico. The event started April 16 and runs through Sunday. He was selected by Bad- minton Canada to represent the country for the team and individual events. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 23, 201027 AP Oshawa • Peterborough • Lindsay Campus1-800-753-2284 AIR BRAKE ENDORSEMENTAIR BRAKE ENDORSEMENT Oshawa Campus May 8- 9Oshawa Campus May 8- 9 Peterborough Campus May 15 - 16Peterborough Campus May 15 - 16 Oshawa Campus May 20 - 21Oshawa Campus May 20 - 21 Insurance Accredited Courses65+ Refresher CourseFire Fighter Special’s • Acrylic Fabricators/ Skilled Gluers • Assembly Team Leaders/ Lead Hands • CNC Machining Lead Hand • Table Saw / Table Router Operators • CNC Panel Saw Operator/ Programmer • Spray Painter / Screen Printers • CNC Programmer/ Coordinator • Industrial Electrician/Mechanic • Production Clerks • Project Managers/ PM Assistant These are the positions we are currently seeking to fill.
