Pickering women knit for hope GROUP SPENDS WINTER MAKING BLANKETS, BABY CLOTHES BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Members of the Catholic Wom- en’s League in Pickering kept their fingers busy this winter while knitting and crocheting hun- dreds of items to hand out to local organizations in need. “There had to be probably 40 or 50 people doing the knitting,” said Rose James, executive member and past president of the women’s group. The group of volunteers, based out of St. Isaac Jogues Roman Catholic Church in Pickering, spent the entire winter knitting items such as afghans or lap blankets for cancer patients, clothing for babies of single mothers in need, and socks, hats and mittens for the homeless. And it was all done for one message, Ms. James said: hope. “It was all hand done and done with such love and care,” she said. “And also it was a far-reach- See PICKERING page 11 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 NEWS 2 Newest millionaires Pickering couple wins top prize in Sick Kids lotto NEWS 10 Zipping it for a cause High school students fall silent for homophobia SPORTS 17 Kicking it up a notch Soccer player adds flavour to Louisiana squad durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 28, 20102 AP LeBlanc family latest big winner of Sick Kids lottery BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Susan and Paul LeBlanc don’t only have a healthy three-year-old boy thanks to the Hospital for Sick Children, but an extra $1 million in the bank. After receiving a cheque for $1 million on April 16 as the latest Sick Kids lottery win- ners, the Pickering couple got to meet the head of cardiovascular surgery, Dr. Glen Van Arsdell. He performed the operation that saved their youngest son’s life when he was a baby with a congenital heart disease. “He’s doing fine,” said Mr. LeBlanc, a build- ing mechanic and father of two. Mr. LeBlanc has been supporting Sick Kids ever since, and only bought the lottery tick- ets as more of a donation, and never thought he’d win. “I wasn’t expecting a call for a million dol- lars,” he said. “At first it’s disbelief. You don’t expect to win these lotteries.” He didn’t even learn about the win until days after the draw. “They phoned me and left a couple mes- sages and I didn’t return the call,” he said. “It actually took a couple days to get to me.” The LeBlancs plan to spend their new money wisely by paying off their debts and saving the rest, with a couple of treats added in here and there. “It’s not enough to quit your job with two young children but it’s enough to make your life enjoyable,” Mr. LeBlanc said. But one thing is for sure: the LeBlancs will go to Disneyworld, something that was too expensive last year, but well within budget since the big win. Mr. LeBlanc plans to continue buying tick- ets to support the hospital. Others can too, as tickets for the mid-sum- mer multi-prize draw are on sale now. Mr. LeBlanc’s advice is pretty simple. “You can’t win unless you buy a ticket,” he said.

Flanked by production lines flowing with the high-demand Camaro in various stages of assembly, the premier talked about “encour- aging signs” for the auto industry --- a much different picture than was being painted a year ago, as GM hovered on the edge of bank- ruptcy, eventually filed and was bailed out by the federal and provincial governments in Canada and their counterparts in the U.S. Governments on this side of the border provided about $9.5 billion, of which about $1.4 billion was considered a loan, with the remainder in the form of equity stakes in the company. Ontario’s share was $3.5 billion, which included $500 million in loans. Last week, GM announced repayment of the loan portion about five years ahead of time. The federal and Ontario governments retain an 11.7-per cent share in GM. At some point in future, GM will do an initial public offering of shares and that will be the governments’ first opportunity to sell off their portion. “I remain optimistic that we’ll be able to recoup our investment,” Premier McGuinty said. But, he added, selling off the equity “is not the kind of thing you want to rush into.” Both the federal and provincial govern- ments took a fair amount of flak for the auto industry bail-out, but it was the right thing to do, Premier McGuinty said. “There’s no doubt in my mind whatso- ever that if the governments of Canada and Ontario had not come together and made this investment, we would have lost GM, and that the very auto industry was in jeopardy,” he said. He also credited the Canadian Auto Work- ers union, and specifically local president Chris Buckley, who he said “demonstrated some absolutely remarkable leadership skills in bringing the men and women (of GM) through a difficult time.” Mr. Buckley was similarly grateful. “Let’s not kid ourselves,” said Mr. Buck- ley, who joined the premier on the tour of the Park Road South plant. “It was extremely important that both the Province and the fed- eral government came through with a loan when we were on the verge of collapse in the auto industry. “General Motors’ plan has taken root, and we’re going to re-build the Canadian auto industry.” Though the media question-and-answer period at times veered off course, into issues like the McGuinty government’s recent about-face on sex education in schools, the premier stayed as much as he could on the message about his confidence in the auto industry. “There’s no doubt about it that the trend line is moving in the right direction,” he said.

After the conclusion of the Crown’s case Tuesday, defence counsel for Aimee Mar- gret McIntyre informed jurors no reply evi- dence will be called. Jurors will hear closing arguments from lawyers for the Crown and defence next Monday, May 3 and on Tuesday will receive their charge from Superior Court Justice David Salmers. Ms. McIntyre, 28, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of Karl O’Reggio, who was stabbed to death by two men who burst into his Tresher Court apart- ment in July 2007. The Crown alleges Ms. McIntyre convinced two young men -- Jon- athan Ebanks and Nathan Kelly -- to kill the 33-year-old Mr. O’Reggio, with whom she had an acrimonious break-up. Among the witnesses heard during the trial in Oshawa were Mr. Ebanks, who admitted he was the person who stabbed Mr. O’Reggio six times, and Mr. O’Reggio’s landlord, who testified he was talking on the phone with Mr. O’Reggio when he heard sounds of a struggle. The trial began with jury selection on April 13. Jurors will be sequestered after hearing Justice Salmers’s charge Tuesday.

Girls Incorporated, a non-profit charity, is dedicating a PA day, Friday, June 4, to the topic. Participants will learn how to identi- fy bullying, find positive solutions and learn how to avoid being a bully. The program runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to Girls Incorporated, the main reason girls tend to bully is because of jealou- sy, exclusion from groups and negative inter- actions with peers. Girls Incorporated works to empower girls to be strong, smart and bold and reach their full potential. The cost of the event is $20 for members and $25 for non-members.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions TRANSIT Bus route changes in south Ajax a step backward To the editor: My bus is the Durham Transit 222-Aud- ley South. Thanks to the drivers, I didn’t have to worry about parking this morn- ing; I was home in time for dinner and I felt great about doing my part for the environ- ment. This has been my feel-good com- mute for the last four years and after a slow start, the Audley South now fills every seat during rush hour. Due to schedule chang- es planned for May 3, this route will mean a longer ride home, fewer buses and noth- ing servicing the popular 7:30 a.m. and 7:36 a.m. trains to Toronto or meeting the 5:20 p.m. train out of Union Station in Toronto. Due to these changes, I’ll lose three hours of time with my kids per week. GO Transit has improved service, built bicycle shelters and added trains. Ajax just approved a $28- million plan to improve our bike trails and pedestrian ways. Way to go. So I half expect- ed DRT to add buses and convince more people to leave their cars at home. Most Audley South riders choose the bus for the reasons I gave earlier. These planned Dur- ham Transit schedule changes will make many of them choose to go back to their cars. Isn’t that a giant step backwards? Ian Harper Ajax WASTE Burning garbage will affect everyone To the editor: Why does Oakville pass air quality pro- tection bylaws whereas Durham is trying to build an incinerator that will further degrade air quality? The 2008 World Health Organi- zation air quality and health fact sheet states there is no threshold found for particulate matter below which no damage to health is observed, yet in Durham’s incinerator risk assessment report, the particulate matter emissions are dismissed by carefully stating particulate matter is an ‘unknown risk’. If there is no safe level, why would Dur- ham add more to the air and essentially ignore the risk in the risk assessment? Hal- ton’s medical officer of health recommend- ed against the incinerator. Which approach should we trust? Should we trust the Hal- ton experts, who assessed there are too many unknown substances not measured or controlled to be sure incineration is safe and therefore concluded the risk was not acceptable for their citizens? Or the Dur- ham experts, who assessed that based on modelling the risks of the known substanc- es emitted, it is an ‘acceptable’ risk? To Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, I appreciate your fiscal responsibility and precautionary approach to public health. Brenda Cross Ajax HEALTH CARE Hospital continues to work on wait times: CEO To the editor: Re: April 19 letter ‘No accountability for long wait times’. We would like to apologize to any patient who waits in our emergency department for an extended period of time, such as the let- ter writer who recently described waiting five and a half hours. Our dedicated staff and physicians are focused on improving our processes to pro- vide our patients with more timely access to care. We are attempting to treat and dis- charge the least serious cases in four hours or less 90 per cent of the time (this is the provincial target). Currently we are treat- ing and discharging 83 per cent of patients in this time frame. For our more seriously ill patients, who are triaged to the front of the line, the target is eight hours to discharge or admission. In this case we are meeting the target 89 per cent of the time. A subsequent letter writer (April 22 - ‘Hos- pital emergency care didn’t take long’) also made a good point stating that patients treated more quickly are those suffering more severe health conditions, as assessed by our staff at triage. He said he was treated in less than 90 minutes. We know we need to improve our services for our growing community and its increas- ing needs. Measures we are actively implementing to have emergency patients treated and dis- charged more quickly include: increased physician hours; a new real-time track- ing system to identify wait times allowing us to monitor and intervene as wait times increase; and process redesign to improve patient flow. Rik Ganderton President and Chief Executive Officer Rouge Valley Health System Sometimes, ordinary people find them- selves in extraordinary circumstances. Some are shocked into inaction and some turn away. But a special few find themselves responding on a moment’s notice, acting quickly and selflessly, and perhaps avert- ing tragedy. So it was for a handful of Dur- ham Region residents last week, who were recognized by St. John Ambulance for their efforts in personally intervening in medical emergencies and literally saving the lives of fellow citizens. There were drugstore employees sav- ing the life a man who wasn’t breathing, a teenager who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a student at her high school who was choking on food, and a retired vol- unteer firefighter in Brooklin who dislodged food stuck fast in a friend’s throat. Two common threads unite them and their fellow award recipients. The first is that all acted immediately, selflessly and with caring compassion when the emergency arose. The second is that they have received volunteer emergency first aid training as part of the St. John Ambulance organiza- tion’s wide-reaching and popular courses that are offered at Durham Region locations throughout the year. Note, too, the difference in ages between the recipients, from adolescents up to seniors. One is never too old to learn impor- tant first aid skills, and never too young to take charge in an emergency. The fabric of our community is strength- ened with people like these in our midst. They are students, retired workers, on-the- job employees going about their daily duties when the skills they learned were needed by someone in distress. But for their presence and important decision to take the time to learn CPR, artificial breathing, how to fash- ion a proper sling and administer first aid, the people they helped could have had their stories end quite differently. These people can certainly be thought of as heroes, but the truth is Durham Region could use more like them. If your workplace, like so many, has a relationship with St. John Ambulance in setting up first aid courses, take advantage of the current training. You too can be one of those ordinary peo- ple trained to act in extraordinary situa- tions. It can be done in a day or two, but the skills you learn will remain with you should you be called upon to act. There’s nothing wrong with being ordinary, especially if you learn how to react when the extraordinary is thrust upon you. - Durham Region Media Group Ordinary people offer extraordinary assistance in Durham durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 28, 20107 P What is the most important election issue in your community this year? PETER BRIGGS -- ‘Property taxes are always a concern.’ JENNIFER SILVER -- ‘Health care and the hospital, and moving forward on their expansion plans. Increasing the number of family doctors and pediatricians for the growing community.’ IVAN CHUNG -- ‘I wish they would pick up the garbage every week.’ KAROLYN TETLEY -- ‘Funding for schools as I have three kids and all-day kindergarten is coming in.’ WE ASKED I belong to a number of reward or incen- tive programs. I get points when I buy gas, points when I use a certain credit card, points when I buy books, when I fly. I’m sure somebody even gives me points for getting points. The point of all of these points is to accu- mulate enough to redeem them for stuff. But that’s all most of it is ... just stuff. Cam- eras, blenders, radios ... nothing to get too terribly worked up about. Wouldn’t it be nice, though, if there was a reward program that let you swap points for the stuff that really mattered? For instance, I’d be seriously interested if, instead of an Affinity Card, any bank ever came up with an Immunity Card. You’d use the card as you would any other piece of credit; filling up the car, buying clothing, books etc. But, instead of toting up dollars towards goofy electron- ics and shoddy household goods, you’d be collecting points redeemable for tempo- rary ‘immunity’. A free pass for the things that really count. Picture this: it’s a gorgeous, sunny Sun- day afternoon. After a hard week at the office, you’re trying to enjoy a little peace and quiet. Maybe finally settling down in the ham- mock and finishing off that book you’ve been working on. But the neighbourhood dolt keeps wailing up and down your street on his rebuilt ATV that has an engine only slightly quieter than an F-16 Tomcat. To make matters worse, the thing burns oil like the Exxon Valdez. You’ve got an ice-cold gin and tonic going, but all you can taste is 5W-30. Now, for the average bear this would be a real problem. But not you. You’ve got an Immunity Card. And thanks to your hard work and thrift at paying it off, you’ve got enough points to go ahead and string a clothesline across the street, just at chest level. On Junior’s next pass you can take him right out of the saddle and nobody can touch you. You’ve got Immunity. How good would that feel? No blender can give you that kind of sat- isfaction. And, just like with any other card, the more you spend, the more you earn. Redeem only a few points and go ahead and butt-in at the grocery check-out scot- free or save up big time and dodge a nasty tax audit. Plus a whole range of stress-relieving options in between. Taking a 3-iron to a car illegally parked in a handicapped space -- 50 pts. Tossing your neighbour’s banjo into his pool -- 75 pts. Tossing your neighbour into his pool -- 150 pts. Pulling a teen’s pants all the way down -- 200 pts. Firing a Stinger Missile into the tailpipe of the guy doing 100 km/h in the passing lane -- 500 pts. I don’t think there’s an interest rate high enough to stop me from owning a card like that. And the advertising writes itself. “A new pair of running shoes -- $120”. “A trip to the Caribbean -- $2,500”. “Giving a wedgie to a parking infractions officer -– priceless”. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. You’ve got to credit this idea that I have... NEIL CRONE Guest Column...Ed Swynar Hit the road, but mind the emissions S pring has sprung and the fancy of men young and old turn to thoughts of...what else?...getting that beloved vintage “sum- mer toy” out from under its protective cover after a long hibernation and onto the open road again. And who doesn’t enjoy revelling in the sight and sound of a classic car all lovingly polished up and shining, rumbling down Main Street? What’s not to love? In a word: the law. Consider this, and be forewarned before happily gamboling out into the open Ontario road in your vintage ride: your vehicle, whatever its model year, is not exempt from the long arm of the law if any emissions devices that were original- ly installed by the factory have been tam- pered with, or removed. That’s correct: even if your pride and joy is more than 20 years old, it doesn’t matter. Should your Trans Am have had a catalytic converter when it rolled off the assembly line in 1976, it better still have one in place in 2010. If your 1980 Z-28 came equipped with an A.I.R. pump bolted onto its 350- cubic inch engine, one still has to be there today. A provincial ministry, not the Ontar- io Provincial Police, will ticket you if they see anything amiss during roadside visu- al spotchecks of your car. It all starts with a look at your vehicle emissions sticker by the enforcing officer; each and every device that is supposed to be on your car is inspected. The absence of any emissions hardware (or evidence of obvious tamper- ing) will earn you a $365 fine for each and every infraction, regardless of your car’s vintage. Sadly, I’m speaking from person- al, first-hand experience. The provincial government is enforcing emissions laws with considerable enthu- siasm. Word on the different online chat rooms has it that last year it administered its authority on vintage car owners at vari- ous automotive “show and shines”, rallies, and get-togethers. It is serious about exe- cuting its duties, just as you should be seri- ous about the condition of your vehicle, and how it would stand up to scrutiny. One last thought: if you were under the misconception that once your car is over 20 years of age it will never again have to be tested every other year for emissions, think again. New rules introduced last summer state that only vehicles of model year 1987 and older will be exempt from Drive Clean testing. Cars newer than that will now have to undergo tests every 24 months. Don’t say you weren’t warned. Edward Swynar is a car enthusiast and Newcastle resident. I was leaving an assignment at Palmerston Avenue Public School when I came across this squirrel snacking on a dough- nut on top of a large garbage bin. I grabbed my longest lens and got as close as I could before snapping a few pictures. The squirrel took off and con- tinued his meal from the safety of a nearby tree.

They took part in Day of Silence, a day of action for those who support making bullying against lesbian, gay, bisexu- al and transgendered youth unacceptable in schools. This is the fourth con- secutive year Ajax High has participated in the event. “This is an annual event both here and at schools throughout North Ameri- ca,” said Tory Bedard, teach- er and Gay/Straight Alliance staff advisor. The event started in 1996. A suicide by a student at the school in 2006 was the driving force in the school’s participation. The student had just come out to his family and his friends about being gay. “Their reaction plus the bullying he had already received from those suspecting he was gay was too much for him to handle,” Ms. Bedard said. The school has since taken measures to ensure students’ safety. “We have a Safe Schools Act that states we will do whatev- er it takes to ensure students have a safe school experience,” said Ms. Bedard. There were two ways students participated in the event. Students could sign up to be silent for the day and they wore a stick- er that says, “I’m saying it with silence.” Other stu- dents who wanted to show respect without remain- ing silent wore a rainbow peace sign sticker. “This event gives me an idea of how hard it is to hide being gay,” said Chelsea Jones, one student who stayed silent for the day. A total of 625 students participated in the event, co-ordinated by Ms. Bedard and teacher Erin Crawford.

The donations recently went to the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Cen- tre, the Rose of Durham, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and The Rene Goupil Jesuits in Pickering. “They were just really overwhelmed with what they received,” Ms. James said. Tamara Dus, manager of clinical trials and systemic chemotherapy at R.S. McLaughlin, said the lap blankets were much appreciat- ed, and are great for the patients since treat- ment rooms can often get chilly. Treatments can take anywhere from one to six hours, she said, and it’s important to make the patients feel comfortable. “It’s wonderful,” she said. “We give them to our patients who come for their treatments and they can take them back and forth.” Those who have received the blankets have been most grateful, and the volunteers feel good about giving them to the patients in the busy treatment centre. “On a given day, we have about 70 patients that come through for chemotherapy,” Ms. Dus said. She added any time there are financial constraints within an organization, it’s great to receive the extras, such as blankets, that they can’t purchase themselves. “It was very thoughtful of them and very much appreciated,” she said.

Police were notified of the graffiti after a couple walking discovered the offensive words and phrases spraypainted in red let- ters on the sidewalk across the road from the Pickering Islamic Centre, on Brock Road north of Finch Avenue. The vulgar comments involved the Islamic faith, police say. “It’s certainly not a coincidence that this anti-Islam language is spraypainted near a place of faith,” said Dave Selby, a Durham police spokesperson, adding that the graffiti is “not a direct threat at any individual.” Investigators believe the incident took place sometime in the later afternoon or early eve- ning on April 21. Officers are reviewing secu- rity camera footage and the investigation continues. “It’s offensive for us, and I’m sure it’s offen- sive for the community,” said Mr. Selby. “It doesn’t matter what the faith is, wheth- er it’s Christians or Jewish people, it doesn’t matter. It’s illegal and it’s offensive.” Representatives of the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, a national, non-profit organization that promotes Mus- lim civic engagement and human rights, has learned about the incident. Julia Williams, CAIR-CAN human rights and civil liberties officer, called the act “offen- sive and hurtful” and noted the incident was not an isolated one. In January and March, mosques in Hamilton, Calgary and Water- loo were vandalized, she noted in a press release. “While the recurrence of such incidents is deeply disturbing, CAIR-CAN does not believe that such acts represent the senti- ments of the vast majority of Canadians, which is why we ask our fellow citizens to join us in condemning this and similar incidents,” she said. Ms. Williams added mosque leaders should remain vigilant and report suspicious behav- iour to police and CAIR-CAN. - with files from Torstar News Services If you have information about the investigation: CALL 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1929 (Const.

The team of students from Altona Forest Public School, in Pickering, were participating in a Big Wild Eco Challenge on April 20 at the Durham Forest Education Centre. The students were joined by a number of schools from across Durham at the one-day event designed to encourage youth to explore positive dif- ferences they could make for the environment. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 28, 201014 AP BY JEFF HAYWARD jhayward@durhamregion.com UXBRIDGE -- If you stock it, they will come. And come they did. Elgin Pond in Uxbridge was stocked with hundreds of trout recently for the eighth annu- al Huck Finn youth fishing day, which drew hundreds of anglers to the pond on April 24. In fact, the kickoff parade in Elgin Park, inviting youth to dress up in their best Huck Finn garb, was such a success that organizers “ran out of prizes, but we ended up getting something for everyone,” said Carmen Grant of the Optimist Club of Uxbridge, an event sup- porter. That’s along with 1,400 loot bags that were to be handed out to kids, added the club. The approximately 70 youths in the parade each took home a prize, such as fishing rods and tackle, and landed a VIP spot for fishing next to the pond, she said. In all, it was predicted more than 2,000 people (and 15 dogs) came to try their skill at the pond that morning, with the fishing from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. While many of the participants were from Uxbridge, some came from outside town- ship borders for the fishing frenzy. Lisa Degeer, of Cannington, was on hand with six-year-old Sarah Degeer, joined by James Currins and 11-year-old Holton Currins of Woodville. The group said they have attended Huck Finn each year almost since its inception. “Usually we’re able to catch at least one fish,” said Ms. Degeer. Meanwhile, Pat Higgins, owner of Canadian Tire Uxbridge, which sponsors the annual event, said he had spoken with a participant that day from Holland Landing north of Newmarket. An announcement came over the loudspeaker at one point reminding residents not to take their boats out on the pond dur- ing the event after a canoe flipped over, conjuring some commotion from onlookers. Watercraft is dis- couraged during Huck Finn, said officials. “In order to win (prizes) you have to be on shore,” said Aman- da Ferraro, Uxbridge’s recreation manager. A new accessible fishing plat- form was constructed at the east side of the pond during the week leading up to the event and was being well used Saturday. Deb Pella Keen, district manager of the Ministry of Natural Resources, was acknowledged for her ministry’s funding of the platform. “It’s good to see people using the ramp,” she said, also making note of the blue sky that morning. “Whoever ordered the weather did a good job.” Durham MPP John O’Toole, who also was taking in the derby, noted of Huck Finn, “It’s one of the nicest family-oriented events in my rid- ing.” Huck Finn event sparks Huck Finn event sparks Uxbridge fishing frenzyUxbridge fishing frenzy BRODY HAMILTON PHOTOS UXBRIDGE -- Ryan Byrich reels in his first catch of the day during the annual Huck Finn Day at Elgin Pond on April 24.

The Peterborough man was back in court Monday, but, after a lengthy closed- door meeting involving Crown Attorney Jim Hughes and defence lawyer Michael McLachlan, made only a brief appearance. It was long enough to set a date for a next appearance -- June 18 -- and put aside three weeks beginning Jan. 4, 2011 as a tentative date for a dangerous offender hearing. Mr. Tippett was found guilty last Decem- ber of a total of seven offences in the August 2008 kidnapping and sexual assault of a 12- year-old Peterborough girl, who was taken from her home town, then abandoned, half naked, near Courtice Secondary School. Part of the hold-up on moving the dan- gerous offender application forward is the fact a complete police investigation must be done, and passed along to lawyers on both sides. Peterborough police have said they are looking into all facets of Mr. Tip- pett’s past, including, possibly, his role as a person of interest in the Anandavel case. It’s hoped that will be completed by the time Mr. Tippett makes his next court appearance in June, Mr. Hughes indicated in court Monday. Both Crown and defence lawyers on the case have indicated their preference as to who should carry out the 60-day psychiat- ric assessment, which must be completed before application can be made to Ontar- io’s Attorney General to move forward with a dangerous offender hearing. But while both have an assessor in mind, neither has agreed to the other’s choice, said Mr. McLachlan.

Police receive dozens of calls about bogus coins DURHAM -- News reports to the contrary, there hasn’t been a flood of counterfeit $2 coins in Durham Region. “It’s a misunderstanding,” said Durham Regional Police Detective Janet Galipeau of the Durham Regional Police fraud unit. “There are two designs of the toonie current- ly in circulation and they are both legitimate. We have not seen any counterfeit versions in Durham Region.” Police spokesman Dave Selby said Durham police have received “dozens of calls” from people saying they had illegal coins. “Some- one must have seen a news report. A Toron- to news program aired a story about fake toonies out there,” Mr. Selby said. “People are phoning the police, saying, ‘I’ve got a tooney with the Queen and she has no crown. Really, there are no confirmed cases of ille- gal toonies or loonies in Dur- ham.” A recent media report showed two versions -- one featuring the Queen wearing a crown and the other without a crown. Police have confirmed with the Royal Canadian Mint that both are legitimate. A statement on the mint’s website said, “Since 1996, Canadian two-dol- lar circulation coins have been produced with two different images of the Queen: a smaller crowned portrait (from 1996 to 2002) and a larger uncrowned portrait introduced in 2003 to update the image of Her Majesty on all Canadian coinage. “This last effigy has appeared on all Canadi- an circulation coins (one-cent, five-cent, 10- cent, 25-cent, 50-cent, one-dollar and two- dollar denominations) produced since June 2003. “All circulation coins bearing these effigies are genuine and are to be accepted as legal tender in Canada.” Anyone with general questions about coun- terfeit currency can consult the experts at the Royal Canadian Mint through their website at www.mint.ca.

While it is still spring, many students’ and parents’ thoughts are turning to the sunny, school-free days of sum- mer. For many students this is a time of excitement: the end of their current grade and the beginning of summer. But there are still a few months of school left before that final bell rings, which means that there is still homework to be done, tests to study for, and extra curricular activities to keep track of! Though the temptation to daydream about summer may be strong, this is not the time for students to slack off! In fact, in the time left, students can actually pull up their grades. In order to get grades on track before the school year is over, students need a plan—a plan to make the most of the time left, a plan to keep up with current homework, tests, and assignments, and a plan to tackle any trouble spots. This is especially important for busy high school students who have the added stress of balancing current schoolwork with studying for end-of-year exams; a plan can keep them on- track and stress-free. An end-of-year plan isn’t just for struggling students: even the best students can afford to fine-tune their grades in the time left. Whether it is tackling extra credit assignments, getting a tutor, or starting exam prep, a plan of action helps students end the year on a high note. Oxford Learning can help students create that plan. This weekend, students should find a couple of hours to sit down, take inventory of the school year, and create an action plan. Here’s how: 1. Grab a calendar and determine how many weeks of school are left. 2. Do a mental inventory of current academic standing. Refer to the last report card if neces- sary. Look at past test marks and comments on assignments. 3. Ask: What subjects am I weakest in? Where is extra help needed? Where can I improve? 4. Talk to teachers and create a plan using the time left to improve grades. 5. Don’t forget to keep using an agenda to stay organized and on top of schoolwork! 6. Enlist extra help from the professional teachers at Oxford Learning! Remember that whether there are weeks or months left in the school year, it is never too late to make the most of the school year! Oxford Learning has many great programs to keep stu- dents of all ages focused on their schoolwork right until the end of the school year, as well as summer programs to help students maintain that focus all year long. It’s never too late for better grades with Oxford Learning! Call Oxford today in Ajax 905-683-6660 or Pickering 905-420-3141 to find out how Oxford Learning can help your child finish strong this year and get ready for success next year. It’s Never Too Late For Better Grades ... from Oxford Learning durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 28, 201017 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com Pickering High School student earns scholarship BY BRENT BURRY bburry@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Shanyce Shaw might be travelling more than 2,000 kilometres across North America to attend school on a soccer scholar- ship, but she will have some company. A Pickering High School student and Ajax U21 soccer player, Shaw is set to attend South- eastern Louisiana University this fall, but don’t let the name or location fool you. There is plenty of Canadian content. The 2009 women’s soccer roster featured seven Canadians (all from Ontario), with five eligible to return in 2010. “It’s actually really good because we could share experiences, and they know where I’m coming from and everything. I thought it was cool that there was a lot of Canadians,” Shaw admits. Aside from that, there were other factors that went into her decision. “The coaches and the girls, they just made me feel welcome. And they have a very good sports program,” she says. Shaw is a defender and says coach Blake Hornbuckle has a big role planned for her. “He plans for me to have a big impact and start off starting, so he’s expecting me to do some big things when I go down there,” Shaw says. The Ajax resident admits the thought of a scholarship entered her mind when she began high school, and she really focused on it in Grade 11. “When I got in high school, I thought about it (scholarship), and when I started Grade 11 then I thought it was actually possible, so I started pursuing it and I got it.” One of her proudest accomplishments to date was making the provincial soccer team when she was 14. Another highlight came when she was playing for the Ajax Storm. “When I was playing for Ajax Storm, we won our league and the Ontario Cup so that was a big thing for us, and I was really proud” she recalls. Shaw will look to add to those highlights when she suits up for the Lions in August. SOCCER Shaw to add more Canadian flavour in Louisiana RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Shanyce Shaw, a 17-year-old Grade 12 student at Pickering High School, has accepted a soccer scholarship to Southeastern Louisiana University. The coaches and the girls, they just made me feel welcome. Shanyce Shaw UNIVERSITY SPORTS Pickering’s Glavic chosen as CIS male athlete of the year CALGARY -- Erik Glavic is the Cana- dian Interuniversity Sport male athlete of the year. The University of Calgary Dinos quarterback was chosen as the winner at the BLG Awards on April 26 in Calgary. He was one of four male nominees up for the award. As male athlete of the year, Glavic will receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship. “For me, this award is huge. The $10,000 scholarship, I had always aspired to do my MBA and it was going to be difficult. An MBA costs a lot of money. Now that’s a definite possibility in the near future for me,” Glavic said in a press release. Glavic is no stranger to awards, as he is a two-time Hec Crighton Trophy win- ner, an award given to the top player in CIS football. Glavic became the first player in CIS history to win the Hec Crighton Trophy with two different teams. The fourth-year social sciences student won the trophy with the Dinos in 2009 and also with Saint Mary’s in 2007. “This is a tremendous honour. Just to think the eight of us were selected amongst over 10,000 CIS athletes, it’s pretty amazing,” Glavic said. “I was sur- rounded by very talented athletes with the Dinos last season and I can’t wait to get back on the field with them.” The Pickering native threw for 2,186 yards and 14 touchdowns while leading the Dinos to their first Vanier Cup appear- ance since 1995 this past season, and set a school record with a 67.5 comple- tion percentage.

ONLY JR. C LACROSSE Patriots have tough task ahead West Durham looks to replace lost players BY BRENT BURRY bburry@durhamregion.com AJAX -- In some ways, the more suc- cessful the West Durham Patriots are, the tougher it is the following year to pick up where they left off. Training camp for the Jr. C lacrosse club is in full swing, and the task to replace the players they’ve lost from the previous year has begun. General manager Rob McDonald says that it looks like the team has already lost three players to Jr. A and four to Jr. B. However, that can be viewed as them doing a good job. “Camp’s going good, lots of young and new faces in camp so far. It’s always tough sledding to replace veterans, but it’s a development league, and I think we’re really putting that mandate for- ward that we’re here to help kids move up. And we’re accomplishing that,” says McDonald. He says the players in camp are going to have to buckle down to keep the team moving in the right direction. One player who is back for another sea- son is goaltender Jason Armstrong. “He likes the opportunity to be the No. 1 guy and still be able to go up to play with our Jr. B affiliate (Markham Iron- heads) if need be, but he will be our start- er, and you can’t replace experience in that position, and we’re fortunate in that way we’ve got Jason back for a third year,” says McDonald. In addition to the change in players, there will be a new man coaching the team this season, as Tom Boyle has been brought in, taking over for Jimmy Cox. “He’s had success in minor systems in Whitby, both in hockey and lacrosse,” says McDonald. “I thought he would be a good fit this year for a young team.” The team was 6-10 last season (third in east division), and lost to the Peterbor- ough Lakers in the second round of the playoffs. “With the change in our coach this year, he’s setting the bar really high, he expects not only for us to compete in every game, but challenge Peterborough for the No. 1 spot in the division, and get that forward to a berth, hopefully, in the league final,” says McDonald. The Patriots are still waiting on some players to return from school, but McDonald is impressed with the players currently attending camp. “I think each year the quality of players attending camp is improved. And that’s a nice surprise.” Ajax Novice AA team caps off great year with win in final series AJAX -- The Ajax Novice AA Knights team brought home the OMHA champi- onship after finishing up a near-perfect season. OMHA championships are hard to come by, and according to the OMHA website, only 20 teams in Ajax have ever won the OMHA championship. And, it has never been done by a novice AA team in Ajax until now. “We focused on having fun this year and on the importance of being a team, and it has really paid off,” says head coach John Petsinis. “The OMHA win is a real accomplish- ment and I’m so proud of these boys for their hard work and their dedication. It has been a real pleasure coaching them this year.” The team had an amazing season with 185 goals scored and only 37 against in compiling a 30-0-1 record during the season. The Knights were also finalists in the four tournaments they entered this sea- son including the Georgina Silver Stick, the Brampton Silver Stick, the Preston International and the Kawartha Lakes AA Tournament. The players on the Ajax championship team are Connor Clark-Baba, Brandon Coe, Stephen Dennis, Aidan Dickerson, Kolby Fralic, Thomas Giardetti, Dustin Hutton, Ethan Keppen, Kyle McCar- thy, Andrew Olesinski, Dakota Paterson, Bryce Petsinis, Jacob Sherr, Jordan Sim- mons, Theo Spiro, Michael Taylor and Liam Turcotte. The coaching staff for the Knights con- sisted of John Petsinis (head coach), Paul Keppen (assistant coach), Aaron Dick- erson (trainer), Rob McCarthy (assistant trainer), Lance Coe (manager), James Olesinski (assistant manager), Johnston Miller (goalie coach) and Shaun Fralic (on-ice helper).
