Pickering council agreed Monday night that Ajax will provide dispatch services for Pickering Fire Services, and they’ll share in the equipment and operating costs. “This, to be quite honest with you, is very much a win-win situation,” said chief admin- istrative officer Tom Quinn. Pickering’s fire headquarters building was built in 1968 and the dispatch equipment is outdated and in need of replacement. Dis- patch, which has also outgrown its space as Pickering’s population has grown over the past decade, needs a new building. However, since the City doesn’t have land yet, which could take years to acquire and build on, staff said amalgamation is the only realistic option. Plans have been in the works for some time. In fact, 12 years ago, Mr. Quinn dis- cussed with the CAO of Whitby the possibil- ity of amalgamating Pickering, Whitby and Ajax fire dispatch services, but the plans were dropped for financial reasons. Whitby wanted to charge Pickering for a proportionate share of the capital costs of the dispatch facility, whereas Ajax is only asking for Pickering’s share of equipment, staffing and operating costs, the staff report said. “The cost factor is quite significantly low,” Mr. Quinn said. Acquiring land and building new fire head- quarters in Pickering could cost $8 million to $10 million, said Mr. Quinn. The amalga- mation will cost Pickering $700,000, which is being funded by the Investing in Ontario Grant. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles want- ed to make sure the issue will not affect safety in any way. “This is an increase in safety all the way around,” Mr. Quinn said. He said dispatch could be located just about anywhere and be just as efficient. Moving dispatch out of the small, outdated Pickering headquarters will free up space for firefighters, and the equipment is the newest technology. Staff estimates joining the two dispatches will take between six to 10 months just for accumulating and transferring data alone. Pickering plans to complete the change by Jan. 1, 2011. ‘WIN-WIN SITUATION’ Ajax, Pickering to share fire dispatch services %FMJWFSFE50%":UPTFMFDUIPNFT BWBJMBCMFBUUIFTF'*/&.FSDIBOUT "KBY 4VSF'JU -BVSFM3JDIBSET)BJS 3FOFX4UVEJP 14UVEJP 5IF'BDJBM1MBDF #SPPLMJO 5IF5SBORVJM(BSEFO 0TIBXB &UFSOBM:PHB .BDLJF)BSMFZ%BWJETPO 1JDLFSJOH 1JDLFSJOH5PXO$FOUSF 1FBL1FSGPSNFST "4QFDJBM1MBDF J0QUJRVF 8IJUCZ 1PXFSPG8PNFO&YDIBOHF 5IF'BDJBM1MBDF -B'POUBJOF #PEZ8PSY %63)". 3&(*0/413&.*&3 ."(";*/& '0380.&/ 07&3 5)&16#-*4)&34 0'&"450'5)&$*5: 1306%-:13&4&/5 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 20103 AP WizardWizard Discount Warehouse Get more BANG for your buck at...Get more BANG for your buck at...

In serious condition in Toronto hospital BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Police have identified a woman who was struck by a car in Ajax early in Wednes- day morning. She was struck on Harwood Avenue just south of Chapman Drive at roughly 6:20 a.m. May 19. The woman was airlifted to St. Michael’s Hospital and is in serious but stable condition. Initially, police did not know who she was and they sought the public’s help in identifying the woman who was initially described as being in her late 20s or early 30s. “She wasn’t carrying any identification,” said Sergeant Shaun Arnott at the scene. The driver remained at the scene and police are continuing their investigation. Beyond the fact that she had been identified, no fur- ther information about the woman was avail- able. A portion of Harwood Avenue remained closed well into the morning. Police also remind residents to carry identi- fication in case of an emergency.

Council supported the City of St. Catharines’ sup- port of MP Malcolm Allen’s private member’s bill asking that the Legion be exempt from the new HST on purchases of red lapel poppies. “By charging five per cent GST on the purchase of poppies, a tax that cannot be recouped through the donation box, the federal government is inadvertently having a negative impact on the servic- es offered to veterans,” said St. Catha- rines Mayor Brian McMullan in a letter to Prime Minister Ste- phen Harper. Ward 2 City Council- lor Doug Dickerson said asking the Legion to pay the HST on poppies “just doesn’t make good sense”. Pickering council unan- imously supported the let- t e r.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions Parenting Together event helps parents, youth use tools to grow The old saying about the more things change, the more they stay the same con- tinues to ring true. Society changes, fashions evolve, atti- tudes come and go. But when it comes to parents worrying about the next genera- tion, the themes are remarkably consis- tent. Parents are still concerned today about their children making the right choices, about who they are hanging around with, the music they listen to, dating, relation- ships and education. But in today’s highly connected, cultur- ally provocative society (Lady Gaga, any- one?), today’s youth must navigate and cope with many complex social issues. A group of youth and parents from Ajax and Pickering was given a glimpse into the complexities of growing up and modern parenthood at a recent event hosted by the Ajax-Pickering Youth Partnership Ini- tiative called Parenting Together. Led by speaker Brett Ullman, the event covered several issues that confront youth and par- ents today, including the sexualization of popular culture and violence in media, among other issues. But what was true in the past remains true today: common sense, communica- tion and a responsibility to family are the best tools youth and parents can share to help both grow and adapt as society con- tinues to evolve. As Mr. Ullman emphasized with stu- dents in attendance, they should stand up for social justice and for themselves and their peers. The voice of youth is as important as that of grown-ups. For their part, parents were urged to lis- ten to their children. Hear what they say; understand what they mean, and keep the lines of communication open. Today’s youth will continue to be con- fronted by images and sounds and words that might challenge their awareness or knowledge. Parents will be forced to adapt and deal with those issues as they arise and use their learned wisdom to assist their chil- dren in absorbing these life lessons and putting them to practical use. But the key to successfully navigating this modern world we live in is by doing so together. Parents still have plenty to offer their children in terms of their life experience and the painful lessons of youth which they have survived. But children, too, have much to offer in helping parents learn more about what they confront on a daily basis in their young lives. As the meeting billed itself, it’s all about Parenting Together. -- Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser durhamregion.comMOTORING Total ban on driving and phoning is the solution To the editor: Since the cellphone ban came into effect this year, at first people obeyed the law. Now, we have heard on the news that since Feb. 1, police have laid 4,400 charges for people driving and using their cellphones. This has got to stop and I do not have the answers. Just imagine yourself talking on the phone at home and maybe the kids are talking in the background and maybe the TV is on. I think that most people would be unable to carry on a conversation with all that background noise. A person would probably turn the TV off and yell at the kids to be quiet while they were on the phone. Can you honestly believe that you can drive and concentrate on a phone call at the same time? Even if the phone is “hands-free”, I do not think that you can do two things at once and do them well. There should be a total ban on devices that distract a person from driving. Even if there is more than one per- son in the car and they are not talking to you then you usually tell them to be quiet so you can concentrate on driving. I do not have all of the answers just a lot of questions. Ron Horner Oshawa HEALTH Something has to be done on pharmacies issue To the editor: Re: Province versus pharmacies versus pharmaceutical companies. We have a Liberal government whose answer to soaring medical costs is to essen- tially reduce the number of pharmacists and likely pharmacies as the solution to rising health costs. They appear to believe reducing the number of trained frontline pharmaceutical professionals is the solu- tion. To put it another way, they have decid- ed not to learn from history, i.e. the NDP reducing the number of medical students led to a doctor shortage, which drove patients to emergency wards, increasing medical costs. The Province should butt out of the rela- tionship between pharmacists and phar- maceutical companies. The Liberals should drop the price of generic drugs and the pharmacists and pharmaceutical com- panies resolve the issue of “professional allowances”. Dispensing fees have not changed in years and should be raised. To be politi- cally consistent, the increase could be by the same percentage as provincial politi- cians have increased their own income in the same time frame. More appropri- ate for average and lower-income families, the increase to dispensing fees should be the average percentage welfare, minimum wage, old age pension and Canada pen- sion payments increased over that period of time. Bruce Galway Brooklin COMMUNITY Mom, t each your son well To the editor: Moms, teach your sons it’s OK to help. At a recent gathering and many others I have attended, it always bothers me that young men out there are still living the life of Ward Cleaver. It bothers me because it is 2010 and not 1952. The women are still milling about the kitchen, helping the hostess with serving food, cleaning up afterwards, entertaining little ones, and the Ward Cleavers are waiting to be served. Something is just not right here. It seems some moms have done a bad job on these guys. They have turned their sons into spoiled brats. I am sure many are not helping out with those everyday household chores on a daily basis as well. A woman who works a 40-hour work week needs help with the cooking, washing, cleaning and child rearing and I don’t think it’s hap- pening as much as it should. Guys, move 50 years forward. I know there are a lot of good men out there, some having to go through training for years until they finally get it. So to all those young mothers, please teach your sons and not just your daugh- ters; it is OK to learn how to cook, to pick up after one’s self. You are not a wimp because you can wash your own clothes. You may make some woman very happy one day.

He was the 145th Canadian soldier to die since the mission began in 2002, and the seventh this year. He’s Canada’s highest-ranking casualty to date. It’s anticipated his body will arrive at CFB Tren- ton around 2 p.m. Friday, May 21. After a ceremony there, the procession will head out onto Hwy. 401. It takes just over an hour to go from the Quinte base to the east end of Durham. Durhamregion.com will have more details as they become available.

It made her think they can play hockey, she said during an Ability Awareness Day on May 14 at Oshawa’s Stephen G. Saywell Public School. “It’s really surprising,” Cameron said, after meeting Mr. Booker, an Ajax resident who was on Canada’s gold-winning sledge hockey team in 2006. The team came fourth in 2010. Mr. Booker was just one of the visitors attending the school for its Ability Aware- ness Day, which has been months in the making, according to Elizabeth Plancke, a school community council member who helped co-ordinate the event. School staff, volunteers, Grandview Children’s Cen- tre, and public health nurses were also involved, she added. “We wanted to make the children aware of all the abilities they will encounter over their lives,” Ms. Plancke said. Broken into groups of about 40 kids rang- ing in age from four to 13, the students took turns visiting Mr. Booker. In Cameron’s group, most of the questions surrounded the sport of sledge hockey and Mr. Book- er’s accomplishments. “Why did you choose sledge hockey?” asked one of the students who sat cross- legged on the gym floor in front of Mr. Booker, seated in his wheelchair. Although Mr. Booker, now age 23, has been playing the sport since he was 10, he did try others first, such as wheelchair bas- ketball, but he wasn’t really good at it, he said. Sledge hockey is played on sleds using short sticks with ice-picks to help players push themselves around the ice. The sticks don’t have much curve because the players shoot from low to the ground, Mr. Booker said. They get speed on the puck by using lots of wrist power, he added. He passed around his hockey sticks and his gold medal for students to examine. “Why do you bite your medals?” Camer- on asked during the question period. “Just to make sure it’s real gold, not choc- olate,” Jeremy replied. The medals are made from eight ounc- es of gold; that’s why they’re so heavy, he added. “Is it hard to shoot with one hand?” asked another student. “It’s probably a little bit harder,” Jeremy replied. They have to use more wrist power, he added. Cameron’s group also got to try their own hand at sledge hockey. Students sat on the ground and used a short hockey stick held in one hand to take shots on a goalie in net. “I play hockey and I’m on the Timbits Team,” Cameron said. “(Sledge hockey) was a bit harder than the other kind I used to play.” Mr. Booker has talked to school students many times, he said in an interview. “What I try to get across is you can achieve anything you want in life and don’t let any- one tell you that you can’t,” he said, adding you just need to work hard.

Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School took second place, said St, Mary’s physics teacher Helma Rollings, adding the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board did well. Chris and Redmond have long planned to put their physics knowledge into action and win the trophy. “Once we saw the coasters from first semester, we said ‘why not beat them and win at Wonderland’?” said Chris. Their project took a ball bearing through a series of hills, drops and loops in 42 sec- onds. Teeth Mania was made of curtain rail, wood, clear vinyl tubing and Popsicle sticks. They were judged in the categories of technical merit, creativity and artistic value and most thrilling to ride. The proj- ect could only run on gravity; no magnets, electricity or other forms of energy were permitted. A couple of free passes were included in the prizes they won. The school got a tro- phy, “and more than that, the prestige,” said Ms. Rollings. Redmond said they ended up spending about 70 hours on the project that some- times got stressful but was very rewarding in the end. It took “careful root force” he said, and bending the loops was probably the most difficult part because that had to be done just right in order to get the ball from start to finish. Ms. Rollings explained the project has gotten so popular, she’s even created a mini roller-coaster project for the Grade 11 students so they can practise for the real thing in Grade 12. “I get kids who take the course specifical- ly to make the coaster,” she said. Ms. Rollings said it’s nice to see stu- dents praising academic achievements, since it seems sports are usually the cause for the biggest celebrations. For example, last week the students displayed their cre- ations for all to see in St. Mary’s atrium. “The rest of the student body flocked to see what was going on,” she said. Although Chris and Redmond have won the competition, Ms. Rollings still has to give the pair a grade for the project. “They’ll do really well,” she said. Chris plans to attend university for civil engineering next year, and Redmond is weighing his options between civil engi- neering and humanities.

EDUCATION Pickering students build winning roller coaster durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 201012 AP Ajax Swim Club athlete signs with Wingate University SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- For Alex Andrechuk, all the hard work has paid off. The 18-year-old Ajax Swim Club member has spent count- less hours in the pool over the past few years, honing her skills. In that short time, she’s gone from a non-qualifying region- al level to a competitive senior national level swimmer, accord- ing to coach Matt Bell. Now her efforts have helped secure a scholarship to swim for Wingate University, a Division II school in North Carolina. “If you had seen her when she was 11 or 12, you’d be surprised now,” Bell said in a recent inter- view. Due to the hard work, though, Andrechuk finds herself in an enviable position. The Ajax resident will head south this fall and call Wingate home on a full ride for the next four years. Reaching this point has been no easy task, but once Andrechuk reached top group status at ACC, obtaining a schol- arship morphed from hope to expectation. “I didn’t ever think I would be here in the moment when I look back, but being in the top group, though, with my club, they have helped me out tremendously,” she said. “Being in the top group, a scholarship, that’s the expecta- tion. We’ve had a bunch of peo- ple who have gotten scholarships in the past, so when you’re in the top group it becomes more of a reality, more than a dream.” Through the searching pro- cess, Andrechuk considered sev- eral Division I offers, but opted to sign with Wingate for sever- al reasons -- from the beauty of the campus to the competitive- ness of the swim team and the fact Wingate was the one school in constant contact all the way through. And in the end, while many young athletes have the desire to attend a Division I school, the decision for Andrechuk was an easy one. “I think I knew even before I visited the school. Going just reassured it,” she recalled, noting Wingate was the only DII school she considered. “The people were great, the campus was beautiful and that pretty much made my decision easier.” And the weather conditions helped too. “Well, it’s a lot warmer than here,” she said with a laugh. Having watched Andrechuk’s progression first hand, Bell said Wingate is getting a swimmer who will only keep getting bet- ter, thanks in large part to her impressive work ethic. “She is a workhorse. That’s the best way to put it,” Bell said. “She has never been the kid that it came easy for. She’s always had to earn it. She started late and I never really started pushing her until she was 14. From there, she went from a non-qualified regional swimmer to a senior national level swimmer in under two years. She knows what it took to get where she is, whereas a lot of kids just get there strictly on talent and don’t really learn how to work. “She’ll probably improve every year until she retires.”durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 201013 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com SCHOLARSHIP Andrechuk off to North Carolina SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax Swim Club member Alex Andrechuk recently signed a scholarship with Wingate University, a Division II school in North Carolina. MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE Rock starting to look ahead to season opener Ajax-Pickering Major Series Lacrosse club opens May 30 against Barrie BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Rock cleared their final hurdle Wednesday night, and are now ready to concentrate on a long and successful run in the Major Series Lacrosse league. The final two or three cuts for the newest entry into the senior loop were made at Wednesday’s practice, and now all that is left to do is prepare for the home and season opener on Sunday, May 30 against the Barrie Lakeshores at the Ajax Community Centre. The inaugural game for the fran- chise will get under way at 8 p.m. It has been a long road to get to this point since being grant- ed a franchise and moving up from the Sr. B ranks after eight seasons, but GM Paul St. John is quite excited about what lies ahead. “When we moved up to major and we put this team on paper, we thought ‘Oh boy, this is going to be a challenge.’ We didn’t know where we would be. But as we head into our first game, we are quite impressed with the cali- bre of players we are going to put on the floor for opening night.” While the team had close to 50 players attend an extensive train- ing camp, St. John was still add- ing pieces from different plac- es earlier in the week through trades. In a deal with the Bramp- ton Excelsiors, the Rock added goaltender Pat Campbell, Kyle Schmelzle and a first-round pick in 2012 or 2013 in exchange for Mike McLellan and Ryan McClel- land. Schmelzle didn’t remain a Rock for long, flipped to Six Nations along with Aaron Bold and Marc Jackson. Coming back this way are Jonas Derks and finan- cial considerations. If Jackson reports to Six Nations, the Rock will receive two third-round picks in 2012 and 2013; if not, he will remain a Rock and the picks go back to Six Nations. On a very young team, St. John is hoping Derks and Campbell bring some veteran leadership. On the defensive end, the club will be looking to the likes of Ian Harloff and Bill McLean to pro- tect the net. The Rock will have one practice on May 26 with a full roster prior to the season opener May 30. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 20, 201014 AP Thursday, May 20, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

Unfortunately, the result was the same as last year -- losing in the final game. Competing in the top division, Elite North American, in less than ideal weather condi- tions, Madrid beat Aurora 3-0, Leaside 7-0, and lost 3-2 against North London. Even with the loss, they advanced to the quarterfinal. They were up against Mont Royal Outrem- ont in the quarterfinal, and although they won 3-2, two late goals made it interesting. In the semifinal against St. Catharines, Madrid rolled to a lopsided 5-1 win. The championship game against North London went to penalty kicks. It took six shooters to decide the game, and North Lon- don came out on top, winning 4-3. There is more work ahead for the Ajax Madrid. They will be playing in the Missis- sauga Invitational tournament, and they will be in the top division of the FC Delco tourna- ment in Philadelphia, where they will go up against some of the top-ranked United States teams. Team members are Caleb Washington, Ste- fan Smith, Dante Morrissette, Drew Nichol- son, Matthew Brown-Vaughan, Mackinley Burns, Kyle Humby, Jarek Brome, Cameron Purdy, Jean-Paul Lyons, Troy Pugh, Isaiah Prentice-Whyte, Aaryn Massy, Reshaun Wal- kes, Domenic Rajcan and Ipariko Emojong. Mark Purdy coaches the team, assisted by Logan Purdy and Randy Pugh. The manager is Verona Smith.

An apprenticed cabinet maker from Walldorf, Germany, he fearlessly pioneered his way to Canada to establish new roots. A contradiction of spontaneity and calculation, successes and failures, genius and lunacy, if he had it to give, he would, without expecta- tion or hesitation. He never won the lottery, but this father of four lived his life large and robustly. He never settled for mediocrity or moderation but spoke his mind unabatedly, to the annoyance of many. A lover of Cadillacs, Kona, forests/mountains, peanut butter, John Wayne, Beefeaters on the rocks, Arkansas Toothpicks, and 30-30's, he opposed govern- ment but embraced military, and revered na- ture for its furry and feathered critters, wide open spaces, and contemplative silence. Holding his memories dear are ﬁ rst wife Brigitte, daughter Angelika, son-in-law Fer- nando, daughter Sandy, son-in-law Patrick, former son-in-law Neil, grandchildren Sinead, Lorena and Dillon, second wife Lilia, son Roger and daughter Rebeca, and grand- daughter Camilla. As he wished, his ashes will be scattered in the wind. No service. In lieu of ﬂ owers, donations to the World Wildlife Fund (www.wwf.ca) would be appreciated by the family to honour his love of life.
