In spite of the mild weather, most gardeners seemed to follow the old rule of waiting for the Victoria Day week- end to plant, which Vandermeer Garden Centre Man- ager Laurel Reid recommends. “There were people who planted early and even lost some plants because of the cool evening temperatures. But everybody who waited is here this weekend,” said Ms. Reid, gesturing across the busy Ajax garden centre. The warm weekend weather gave a big boost to the gardening centre. Last Victoria Day weekend the weath- er was cool and rainy and sales were noticeably lower, said Ms. Reid. The garden centre was packed with shoppers on Vic- toria Day. Pauline Wisdom-Gilliam and Kinsley Gilliam came from Toronto looking for carpet roses at the Ajax store. “I love to admire gardens but I’m an amateur. That’s why I’m looking for carpet roses because you can’t go wrong with them, I’ve heard,” said Ms. Wisdom-Gil- liam. Verna McMillan was pulling a large cart of flowering plants into the check out line, ready to add them to the plants that re-bloom each year. “We tried to colour co-ordinate, purples with pinks and reds with yellows,” said Ms. McMillan. Oshawa resident Bob Hooper was sitting on a bench at Vandermeer’s waiting for his wife to finish shopping. “My wife’s the one who does all the gardening. No, I have no idea what we’re getting. We have a gorgeous piece of property, she’s getting flowers for the property,” said Mr. Hooper. The big garden trends for 2010 are grasses and native plants that need very little care to thrive over the hot summers. Plants that thrive in the shade are increasing popular and many gardeners are choosing plants that will attract wildlife and birds to their yards. More and more people are giving up on maintaining grass lawns and opting for other types of ground cover. “People want to replace their lawns with creeping thyme,” said Shelley Walsh, perennial specialist at Van- dermeer’s. There is also a trend toward people choosing shrubs and perennial plants that come back year after year. Although people still love the cheery annual plants for containers, said Lynette Kirton, who offers expert gar- dening information at Vandermeer’s. Her biggest piece of advice for gardeners is “always ask if you’re not sure. Make sure you buy the right plant for the right place. That’s what I’m here for.” Durham’s ‘Green Thumbs’ usher in the gardening season over the Victoria Day long weekend BY JENNIFER O’MEARA jomeara@durhamregion.com JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Darlene Thompson looked for flowers for her garden at Vandermeer Nursery and Garden Centre on May 23. FLOWER POWERFLOWER POWERPOWER durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20103 AP Twelve-year-old suspect was bound by several court orders, say Durham police BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A 12-year-old Ajax boy found in possession of a loaded handgun faces numerous charges after being arrested at gunpoint Thursday afternoon. The boy, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was under four separate releases pro- hibiting him from possessing guns or ammunition at the time of his arrest, Durham police said. Cops recovered a loaded .38 calibre handgun at the scene of the arrest. He is believed to have been involved in a robbery Wednesday, police said. It’s unusual for such a young sus- pect to be arrest- ed, let alone to be found in possession of a gun, said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby. “It’s a very rare occurrence for us to be dealing with someone of that age and criminal charges that serious,” he said. Mr. Selby acknowledged the boy is known to police. Police were alerted at about 3 p.m. May 20 by residents who said they’d seen a person with a weapon in the area of Smith Lane. Witnesses directed an offi- cer to a nearby ravine where they’d last seen the suspect. The officer caught up with a suspect on Epps Lane. The cop saw the suspect get off his bike, reach into his waistband and draw his weapon. The youth threw a loaded handgun over a fence before sur- rendering, police said. The 12-year-old faces 19 charges including robbery, eight counts of fail- ing to comply with bail conditions and weapons offences. The boy has been implicated in a rob- bery May 19 at a Food Basics store on Westney Road North. In that incident, a female employee was pushed to the floor and several males fled with cash. No weapon was seen during the rob- bery, Mr. Selby said. The investigation continues and police are trying to determine the origin of the gun. “We’re working this case diligently,” Mr. Selby said. “It’s always alarming when a handgun falls into the hands of anybody out there.” If you have information about the investigation: CALL 905-579-1520 ext. 5355 CRIMESTOPPERS: Anonymous tips can be made to Durham police at 1-800-222-8477 CRIME Ajax boy arrested with loaded handgun ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING FOR EMPLOYEES • Business Writing (emails, business letters and reports) • Oral Communication and Listening Strategies • Canadian Workplace Culture EMPLOYER BENEFITS • Increased ability to effectively communicate with employees • Enhanced employee oral and written communication skills • Increased employee confi dence and productivity • Customized to workplace needs • English language profi ciency assessment • On or off-site training • No fee service English@Work Durham Continuing Education 1400 Bayly Street, Unit 1 Pickering 905.831.3118 dceinfo@durham.edu.on.ca www.dce.ca AT YOUR OFFICE OR OUR CAMPUS IT’S GOOD FOR BUSINESS Do You Employ Newcomers to Canada?

OPG study finds zebra mussels, not human activity, likely created conditions for algae growth BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The stinky algae that washes up on Ajax and Pickering beaches each sum- mer is likely here to stay, research con- ducted by Ontario Power Generation and its partners shows. Carol Gregoris, of Ontario Power Gen- eration’s science and technology depart- ment, recently updated the Pickering plant’s community advisory committee on the results of several years of research on a type of algae called Cladophora. “Basically for the residents, Cladophora, when it washes up on the beach, it causes an esthetic problem, it gets smelly when it starts to rot,” said Ms. Gregoris. But for OPG, the algae clogs the water intake for the plant, interfering with the cooling system and can result in units hav- ing to be shut down. “It’s a very expensive problem for Ontar- io Power Generation,” she said. The research was conducted by scien- tists at the University of Waterloo and was a partnership between OPG and number of organizations including the Regions of Durham and York and the local conserva- tion authority. “We had to understand where it was growing, why it was growing and how it was getting into our intake,” said Ms. Gre- goris. She said the Cladophora growth is affected by three factors: temperature, water clarity and the availability of phos- phorus, a nutrient that feeds the algae. The study was able to compare two very different summer seasons in 2007 and 2008. The former was very dry and there was a high level of algal bloom. In 2008, it was a rainy summer resulting in increased discharge from the Duffin Creek. Howev- er, algae growth was 30 per cent less than in 2007. While there was initial speculation the algae problem on Ajax and Pickering beaches may be exacerbated by the sew- age plant, the models show that if the sew- age plant was removed from the equation, there would only have been 10 per cent less growth in the algae in 2007. “It had a relatively small effect, small- er than we would have thought,” said Ms. Gregoris, adding that the thermal plume of warmer water from the plant seemed to have no effect. That left the zebra mussels, an invasive species that arrived in the Great Lakes in the 1990s, as culprits. The theory is the mussels do two things that impact algae growth: they filter the water and convert phosphorus to a usable form creating more than enough phosphorus to sustain algal growth. “This is a very complex eco-system and every time a new species gets introduced, it changes everything,” said Ms. Gregoris. Based on the research, OPG now has a tool that can predict the level of algal growth, allowing employees to more care- fully monitor the pumps and intakes for the plant. OPG has installed nets to reduce the amount of algae getting into the intake. Wayne Arthurs, MPP Pickering-Scarborough East 300 Kingston Rd. Unit 13 • 905-509-0336 Northeast corner of Altona Rd.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions GIVING More government funding would boost children’s charity To the editor: As a result of my religion independent study, I’ve learned that there are many charities which would greatly benefit from government assistance. Free the Children is a Canadian-based organization meant to empower youth across the world. They are currently only receiving $308.15 from the government as shown in their latest annual report. It is crucial that these donations from our gov- ernments are raised because of the proven difference that this charity has made. Free the Children uses 91 cents out of every dollar they receive to make the world a better place. Sixty per cent of their funding comes from youth doing fundraising, and it deeply concerns me that only 1.57 per cent comes from government. With more assistance, this charity could further improve people’s lives around the world. I ask anyone who reads this letter to contact their local MP or MPP and send an e-mail to support the cause. With more support, the government will increase funding to this charity which is truly in need. Karen Cook Ajax *** We should share our bounty with less fortunate To the editor: Every one of us is fortunate to live in a society that has access to the essentials for our survival. We never consider a life where people do not have water at their disposal or food that expires. We are ignorant to those who do not have access to the same luxuries; families who do not have enough food to go around, a bathroom to use, or clean water. Starvation, dehydration and homeless- ness is a daily battle for people who live in Third World countries. World Vision is an organization that opens our eyes to our own ignorance. It makes people like us aware of the suffer- ing of millions of people around the world. They also provide relief for natural disas- ters. With the earthquake in Haiti, World Vision was there to help pick these people up. Everyone is able to contribute and any donation is greatly appreciated and will go towards benefiting those in need. Whether it is sponsoring a child, donating money or purchasing a gift, makes a huge impact on a person’s life. Visit www.worldvision.ca to learn more about this organization. Shannon Adams Ajax HIGHWAY OF HEROES Repatriation stirs emotions To the editor: I have just returned from an emotional salute to the returning soldier along the Highway of Heroes at the Holt Road over- pass. I have attended many of these salutes and am amazed at the emotions of the peo- ple. Today was no different except that the soldiers’ father is a firefighter. There were, of course, many fire engines and firefight- ers on the overpass. I watched as a mother and two small girls gave two red roses to a couple of the men in firefighter uniforms. Along these overpasses, friendships and acquaintances are formed. As I was leav- ing, I witnessed people hugging; these small acts take place. We are so fortunate to live in such a won- derful country. Midge Buzza Clarington *** Woma n’s kind gesture appreciated by veterans To the editor: On May 16, 2010 on the Simcoe Street bridge over the Highway of Heroes, we attended the repatriation of Pte. Kevin McKay. My friend, Second World War veteran Don White, and I were each presented a long-stemmed rose from a woman and her two young girls. They were on the bridge on this sad occasion to thank a veteran. I would like them to know how much we appreciated this gesture. Thank you. Danny Mann, Korea War veteran Oshawa It’s not unfair to say that contraband cig- arettes are hurting convenience store own- ers, that their chances of success are literally going up in unregulated, illegal smoke. A national association of convenience store owners, tired of competing with cheap contraband cigarettes sold out of the back of a car trunk, and often to youth, wants gov- ernment to reduce taxes on tobacco prod- ucts to fight the burgeoning black market for unregulated smokes that, by some esti- mates, cost government billions of dollars per year in lost revenue. Add to the debate fierce opposition to tobacco tax cuts from groups like the Cana- dian Cancer Society and it becomes a vol- atile mix of competing priorities and view- points. Everyone agrees -- or should -- that contraband cigarettes are the worst of the two evils. They line the pockets of organized crime, they are unregulated, require no ID prior to sale, are easy to access and much cheaper to buy. Not surprisingly, a recent butt count outside eight Durham Region high schools indicated fully 20 per cent of the cigarettes being smoked at local schools are of the illegal variety. Convenience store owners make a good case for government intervention beyond tough youth anti-smoking laws that require IDs at convenience stores, or plain packag- ing, or grim health messages. In fact, there is a precedent for a tobacco tax cut to mitigate the growth of the black market. Jean Chre- tien’s Liberals reduced the tax on tobacco in 1994 and effectively put an end to a growing market in contraband cigarettes in that era. The solution, again, lies in a dual approach to confronting contraband cigarette manu- facturers and distributors while reducing the price of legal tobacco products through a tax reduction. That would balance the field, make contraband cigarettes less appealing and therefore reduce black market demand. At the same time, renewed efforts to educate smokers, to provide quit programs and to support those struggling with addiction will help to counter the appeal of smoking alto- gether. Convenience store owners are sell- ing perfectly legal, though controlled, prod- ucts. Government is complicit in the high cost of tobacco through its taxation and has contributed to the growth of cheap contra- band cigarettes. If it is a factor in the crisis that has developed, it must also be a factor in the solution. Reduce the tax to compete with contraband. Renew education and awareness efforts. Increase enforcement against manufacturers and distributors. - Metroland Durham Region Media Group Compromise key to battling contraband tobacco sales durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20106 AP 7 P What’s your view on the state of Canada’s economy?

No longer Neil or Mr. Crone or even Duncan and Connor’s dad ... but that old guy on the corner with the dog. I certainly think of myself as young. I feel young. And yet, in the eyes of the neigh- borhood kids, the real litmus test ... am I just another grey-haired old fart whose lawn you gotta keep off? The perspective of youth is weirdly skewed. As children, for instance, do we ever view our parents as anything but ‘old’? My dad was in his early 30s when I came along, roughly the same gap that I have with my own two kids. I look at pic- tures of my father from that time and he looks like a healthy, energetic, youth- ful man. And yet, to me, as a kid, he was ancient. Surely I am not looked upon that way by my own two. Surely they see me as the hip, down-with-that, dare I say ‘dude’ that I view myself as. Who am I kidding? I’ve been Methuse- lah to those two since the first time they saw me wear socks and sandals. This is not to say that they don’t like me. I’m fairly certain they like me. They’re just not terri- bly keen on being seen in public with me. It’s the prerogative of the young, I sup- pose, to think of everyone who votes, pays taxes or wears slacks as a dinosaur with no more juice left in them than a desiccated persimmon. Which also, I suppose, explains our chil- dren’s’ anaphylactic response to any dis- plays of physical affection between those of us barely clinging to life in our 40s, 50s and onwards. Such shocking demonstrations of energy and passion fly in the face of their precon- ceived pictures of us as having one foot in the grave. It’s too much for them to pro- cess. I remember. Nothing could creep me out faster than seeing Mom and Dad engag- ing in a little playful butt-pinching in the kitchen. My wife and I have deliberately employed this tactic as a fast and effec- tive way to get the house to ourselves for a while. One long embrace or a slap on the rump and they run screaming. The interesting thing is this gap quick- ly diminishes as we enter our own adult- hood. Indeed, we begin to earnestly seek evidence of the remaining youth in our parents and those of their generation. It’s as though we have suddenly come to real- ize that if our parents are aging, then so are we. And that’s always a bit of a shock- er. Still, it might not be so bad, donning the moniker of ‘Old Man Crone’. There’s a certain caché to being the neighborhood bogeyman. I need a hook though. All the really good ‘Old Men’ had a signature thing ... something they were known for. “There goes Old Man Simpson ... his back yard’s full of all the cats he boiled!” “Cheese it! It’s Old Man Huggins ... he once tore a kid in half for walking on his azaleas!” “Old Man Bagshaw lives there. They say he used to work for Canada Revenue. Until one day he had to audit himself!” That kind of stuff. It’s a bit of stretch though, trying to find some kind of legend from my past. “That’s Old Man Crone ... they say he had to do a scene with Alan Thicke years ago ... he’s never been the same since.” Well, it’s a start. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Old Man Crone, soon to be at your service NEIL CRONE Rugby is a sport I enjoy shooting for the fast pace, no-holds-barred, bare-bones aspects of the game. A line-out, for those who follow the sport, involves a player throwing in the ball to be caught, hopefully by a jumper, a teammate who is raised up, often by his shorts, by fellow teammates. In this shot, the jumper was up and willing but the ball fell woefully short. The frus- tration showed on his face for a brief moment, and the game moved on. -- Celia Klemenz is a staff photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group CELIA KLEMENZ / BEHIND THE LENS JOANNE BURGHARDT Online comments can breed contempt Like so many media outlets that have reader commenting available online, the Ottawa Citizen has changed its rules of engagement. When the news alert came in Tuesday afternoon that the Citizen had ‘banned’ anonymous comments, I was very interested. To me, ‘anonymous’ indicates a reader has signed their comment with a pseudonym to protect their identity. It’s a real bone of contention on our web- site, durhamregion.com, where people will frequently leave comments under a fake name, comments they might otherwise not take ownership of. I liken it to the adage, don’t say or do something you wouldn’t want your grandmother to hear or see. In any event, after delving further into the Citizen situation, it becomes clear they aren’t banning anonymous comments at all. In fact, you can still comment on their website using a pseudonym. The difference is that you now have to register as a user on their site in order to comment, flag or rate a comment. It’s always worked that way on durhamregion.com. It won’t help much in curbing bad behav- iour and nastiness because they’ll still allow you to use a pseudonym. What it will do is provide the Citizen with a record of the user’s email address so that when abuse does happen, like us, they will be able to contact the abuser and warn him to shape up or be shut out of the conversation. Similar to the system we will soon roll out, the Citizen will automatically take down comments that have been repeatedly flagged by readers as abusive until an editor can review the comment and either approve or delete it. They’ve added a nice feature which will actually replace the comment with the statement “This comment is under review” until a final decision is made. For tightening the rules, the editor of the Ottawa Citizen will take some flack from naysayers who will say the paper is limiting free speech – we hear it occasionally as well. But the fact is, comments are subject to the same rules of libel as are any other written words. Free speech does not trump libel and slander laws. -- Joanne Burghardt is Editor-in-Chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group.

He’s a constable with the Durham Regional Police Service’s air support unit. His shifts vary. Sometimes he works during the day but most of the time he’s on nights. “That’s when the majority of the calls come in,” Const. Schutt explained. When he’s not on duty, he’s still on call as a volunteer, not with the police service but with OVERT, the Ontario Volun- teer Emergency Response Team. It’s a community-based emergency response team that, upon request, can deploy a team of professionally trained volunteers with a broad range of skills. The team includes off-duty firefighters, police officers and paramedics but most volunteers are people with regular jobs, such as engineers, electricians and retirees like Bob Lerever- end. Mr. Lereverend spent 42 years working for an IT company before retiring a few years ago. The 63-year-old joined OVERT after hearing about the team in the news. “I was looking for an organization to join as a volunteer and OVERT seemed like the right fit,” he said. “We get to do a lot of interesting things. When we get called out we have detec- tives out here giv- ing us information about crime scenes. It’s quite interest- ing.” I met Mr. Lerev- erend and the rest of the OVERT team when they gathered for a series of train- ing days recently. The training pre- pares them for calls they might receive, such as abductions, missing persons, natural disasters and other community emergencies that have the potential to tax manpower resources of a primary response agency. Dozens came out to freshen up their training with search- and-rescue scenarios by combing the woods looking for a missing person and setting up a system of ropes and pulleys to help that person from a drop-off in the middle of the for- est. But it wasn’t just people who needed to brush up on their search skills. Sampson the German shepherd trained as well. He’s Const. Schutt’s dog. “All he wants is his toy,” said Const. Schutt as Sampson barked madly. Const. Schutt got the dog all excited by tossing the toy into the air repeatedly before passing it on to another volunteer to go and hide it so Sampson could sniff it out. That’s practise for tracing a missing person. The whole team was used in December 2009 when a man went missing at Long Sault Conservation Area in Clarington. OVERT got the call to search for the middle-aged, depressed man after police did an initial search of the area and couldn’t find him. His vehicle was located, leading investigators to believe it could be a suicide. “We responded and spent three or four days looking for him,” Const. Schutt said. “We were able to find him and give the family closure.” OVERT was rewarded with a civilian service award for that search on behalf of the Durham Regional Police.

Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son introduced a motion Monday night that the City commit to the burying of current overhead wires along Brock Road from just north of Concession 3 to Taunton Road. He asked council to support the deci- sion that would cost the City in the short term to remove the overhead wir- ing and install the underground wiring, but would pay for itself in the long run. It would also demonstrate council’s for- ward thinking, he argued. “The decision here tonight may very well prove to be the watershed deci- sion by which the Province will see and understand our commitment to the notions of sustainability,” he said. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said he likes the idea but would need to see the actual costs and details of how it would be financed before supporting the $3.5-to-$4-million project. Support- ing it would require reopening the 2010 budget that was just passed, and maybe raise the tax rate, he said. “We need to find a way to do this but I am not comfortable we have found it yet,” he said. Coun. Dickerson said Veridian Corpo- ration would contribute about $850,000. While he understood concerns about potential short-term financial costs, he pointed out long-term costs would be avoided, such as power failures due to vehicles crashing into overhead line poles and ice storms bringing down the wires. Also, burying them is much more pleasing to the eye and can increase land value on Brock Road. “In due course when these lands are sold, the City will recoup all, or more, of the investment we are making tonight on our future,” he said. “View it as a down payment.” He suggested looking at ways to reduce the costs, such as selling some of Pick- ering’s land in the area, or even finding a different company that could do the work for less. While Mayor Dave Ryan agreed with Coun. Dickerson’s vision to embark on a ground-breaking change, he felt the financial risks were too high. “Councillor, you’re absolutely right, the right thing is to bury wires,” he said. “The wrong thing to do is bury the municipality in the process.” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley tried to refer the decision to a later date in order to gather more input and a financial strategy. But since development is fast approaching along Brock Road, council chose to vote on the matter and Coun. Dickerson’s motion was lost. CITY HALL Pickering’s wire plans cut short View it as a down payment. Councillor Doug Dickerson INNISFIL -- A Pickering resident is among two people charged in a road rage incident on Hwy. 400 northbound in Innisfil May 15. Police allege two vehicles, a Dodge Cara- van and a Mitsubishi, were following each other at high speeds. The two vehicles alleg- edly boxed in a SUV on two separate occa- sions, causing the SUV to stop completely in a live lane. There was also a report of a handgun being waved from one vehicle. The Caravan and Mitsubishi exited the highway at Innisfil Beach Road and were later located in a parking lot in Innisfil. Siyar Popalzay, 19, of Scarborough, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possessing a weapon for dangerous purpose. Majid Mehraban, 21, of Pickering, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Torstar News Services CRIME Pickering man charged in Hwy. 400 road rage incident PICKERING -- Boaters near the Pickering nuclear plant should keep an eye out for the fish protection net at the mouth of the sta- tion’s intake channel. After removing it for the winter season, Ontario Power Generation has reinstalled the net, which net runs to the lake bottom. Nine- teen lighted buoys warn boaters of its pres- ence. The net is more than 610 metres long with a half-inch mesh. It protrudes about 77 metres from the southern tip of the intake channel. “This net was installed last fall to reduce the amount of fish entering the intake channel,” said Glenn Jager, senior vice-president, for Pickering A, in a prepared statement. “The results so far have been very encouraging and we are optimistic we will reduce the number of fish entering the channel by more than 80 per cent annually.” Mr. Jager added that OPG is proud of its Pickering environmental record and other projects in the organization’s environmen- tal program include fish habitat and wetland restoration at the Duffin’s Creek Marsh and Frenchman’s Bay. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201012 AP • Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? • Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? • Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home?

Ajax 905.683.6660 • Pickering 905.420.3141 Adelﬁ ha’s Christian Academy was born out of a dream of Pastor Rosenda James who believed that life had become increasingly complicated for our children and their par- ents. “Public Schools have ceased to provide our children with a well-rounded education including the Biblical standards which we were brought up with. Since society has ceased to embrace our values where God is central, prayer is essential and the com- mandments are the standard of morality, Adelﬁ ha has become an alternative for every parent who desires a Christian environment for their children’s education.” The name Adelﬁ ha means: “A monument of God’s Love” and is the middle name of its founder and administrator Pastor James. She believes that Adelﬁ ha “will progress and become a monument to be remembered by all as the place where the love of God was seen in the lives of the faculty as well as the students. “We are committed to working in partnership with the families of our school understanding our shared commitment to the student’s upbringing. This commitment is expressed in a mutual desire to see student’s character transformed to reﬂ ect the image of Jesus Christ, thus impacting the world.” Adelﬁ ha’s Christian Academy is commit- ted to training and educating children to un- derstand life as started in God’s word. Prov- erbs 22:6 instructs us “to train up a child in the way he should go, so that when he is old he will not depart from it.” Students are in- structed “in the truth of God’s word in every area so that their lives may be transformed by the renewing of their minds.” Adelﬁ ha places particular emphasis on having a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, while developing Christian character in its students, promoting excellence in aca- demic and personal integrity.

But faced with two long months of vacation from school, what options are there for keeping children occupied during the lazy days of summer? A top-run, private, sleep-away camp can cost around $10,000 for the season. However, just because cost is a factor, it doesn’t mean that children can’t attend camp this season. Parents simply need to do their research or come up with other creative alterna- tives. First, investigate the opportunities in your area. Summer camp doesn’t have to mean eight weeks of recreation in the middle of the wilderness. There may be locally run businesses that also offer summer programs. Also, churches, synagogues and other houses of worship may offer a summer recreation program. If you are a parishioner you might be eligible for a discounted rate. Don’t forget to check out the YMCA or other clubs in the area. They typically offer a summer program. Find out if your child’s elementary school has a program for the summer. Some may offer crafts, sports and other activities for a few hours during the day. If you’ve exhausted other options, get creative. If you have a number of reliable friends or neighbors, you can set up a camp rotation. Each member of the camp group will be responsible for the kids on a particular day. The responsibilities rotate among the other parents. This enables free time for adults during the sum- mer, and the potential to stagger work schedules and accommo- date children being out of school. If you missed the registration deadline for summer camp or simply cannot afford it this year, there are other alternatives to keep children engaged during the vacation months. Alternatives to Summer Camp Provincial body recognizes board’s efforts to help its members green up JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- A green-up pro- gram for which the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade has received provincial acco- lades often leaves members who choose to participate pleasantly surprised. “If there’s a surprise, it’s sometimes that they’re more environmentally friendly than they thought,” said David Stell, the board’s communications spe- cialist, who aids in the board’s environ- mental task force. The Board of Trade recently received an award for innovation for its Eco-Busi- ness program from the Ontario Cham- ber of Commerce. The program, launched in 2009, pro- vides the board’s member businesses with a checklist of easily-applied meth- ods to reduce their carbon footprint. Successful participants are recognized with certificates and window signs, which allow their clients to know they are dealing with a company taking steps toward environmental friendliness, Mr. Stell said. The idea grew from the task force, formed by a number of the board’s mem- ber companies, Mr. Stell said. Many of the companies that initially got involved in the task force did work related to envi- ronmental sustainability. “They wanted to find a way to spread their knowledge,” said Mr. Stell. “The interest was there. We recognized that people were hungry and interested in how they could be more environmental- ly friendly.” The program is voluntary and market- ed through Board of Trade events and communications. So far, 25 members have been recognized for their green efforts. So successful has the program been that the task force is now working on a second list of slightly more difficult envi- ronmental challenges. And, the group has set a target to tri- ple the number of members awarded for their efforts. It’s hoped the provincial award will help raise awareness of the program. Many businesses might be surprised to find they qualify for the board’s recogni- tion, said Mr. Stell. “People are probably doing more than they thought they were,” he said.

Free drop-off of electronic trash on May 29 DURHAM -- If you still have a Commodore 64 or an original PlayStation sitting at the back of a closet, here’s a chance to clear a little space. Durham Region is running a free e-waste drop-off on Saturday, May 29 in Whitby. Electronic and electrical waste can be dropped off for recycling, rather than being dumped in a landfill. Items that can be disposed of include televisions, satellite systems, computers, monitors, printers and accessories, fax machines, photocopiers, scanners, gaming systems, telephones, personal digital assis- tants, calculators, electronic cash registers, radios, amplifiers, turntables, stereos and speakers, VCR and DVD players, projec- tors, cameras and camcorders. Appliances and tools are not accepted at this event. It’s being held at the town of Whitby Operations Centre, 333 McKinney Dr., from 8 a.m. to noon.

Representing schools from Ajax and Pickering were, clock- wise from top right: J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate student Jodi Scanlon competed in the senior girls’ long jump; Chris Malliaros, left, from St. Mary’s, Andrew Bell, from Pickering High, and Tom Shaw, from O’Neill Collegiate, ran the steeplechase; Xavier Ellis, from Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, left, Kayne Winsborrow, from Pickering High School in Ajax, and Benjamin Cooper, from Anderson Collegiate in Whitby, competed in the midget boys’ hurdles . LOSSA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS Athletes make multiple trips to the podium Annual event sees several multi-gold winners DURHAM -- Athletes from around Durham Region put in some impressive showings at last week’s LOSSA track-and-field championships, held at Civic Fields in Oshawa. Among them were several athletes who walked away from the event with multiple gold medals. Triple gold-medal winners came from schools in Whitby, Ajax and Port Perry. Henry Street’s Rebecca Wendt turned the trick by winning the women’s midget races in the 800m, 1500m and 3000m distances, while Maya Daly of Pickering High captured gold in the junior wom- en’s 400m dash, 80m hurdles and 300m hurdles. Port Perry High School’s Luke Durward, mean- while, finished first in each of the senior men’s pole vault, shot put and discus throw events and Ajax’s Chanice Taylor-Chase of Notre Dame was tops in the senior women’s 100m hurdles, 200m dash and long jump events. There were also a host of double gold-medal win- ners from all over Durham. Pickering’s Nichelle Prince crossed the line first in both the midget women’s 100m and 200m dash, while McLaugh- lin’s Matt Stephenson showed plenty of endurance in capturing gold in the 1500m and 3000m midget men’s races. Staying with McLaughlin, Eric Dillon won a pair of gold medal’s in his final LOSSA com- petition, finishing first in the senior men’s 1500m and 3000m races. Martina Pollack of Donald A. Wilson won gold in the women’s midget high jump and long jump events, while fellow Whitby athletes, Victoria Samyn of All Saints and Soibhan Klie of Anderson collected golds. Samyn won the 800m and 1500m women’s senior runs while Klie dominated long distance, winning the junior women’s 1500m and 3000m races. On the men’s side, Anderson’s Andrew Umukaro jumped his way to two gold medals, one each in the long and triple jumps. Back with Pickering High, Noelle Leone-Palmer won the 100m and 200 junior men’s dash, while Notre Dame’s Tynelle Taylor-Chase perfected the 400m distance in both the senior women’s dash and hurdles, winning gold in each. Dunbarton’s Victor Lyon, meanwhile, was first in the junior men’s shot put and discus throw, as was fellow Spartan Rayann Chin in the same events at the senior women’s level. Ajax High athletes Tyra Forbes and Matt Till each won twice as well, with Forbes taking home gold in the junior women’s long jump and triple jump, while Till did the same in both events at the junior men’s level. Wesley Best of J. Clarke Richardson had the short distances down pat, winning the junior men’s 100m and 200m dash. Pine Ridge’s Jodelle Dixon topped the chart in the junior women’s shot put and discus events. Closing out the list of multi-gold winners were Uxbridge’s Taylor Neely who won the senior wom- en’s high and triple jump and Port Perry’s Stuart Thibert, who came first in the 800m and 1500m junior men’s race. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201018 AP "7"*-"#-&"55)&4&'*/&.&3$)"/54 "KBY 4VSF'JU -BVSFM3JDIBSET)BJS 3FOFX4UVEJP 14UVEJP 5IF'BDJBM1MBDF 'FMJDJBT$PMMFDUJPO #SPPLMJO 5IF5SBORVJM(BSEFO 0TIBXB &UFSOBM:PHB .BDLJF)BSMFZ%BWJETPO 1JDLFSJOH 1JDLFSJOH5PXO$FOUSF 1FBL1FSGPSNFST "4QFDJBM1MBDF J0QUJRVF 8IJUCZ 1PXFSPG8PNFO &YDIBOHF 5IF'BDJBM1MBDF -B'POUBJOF #PEZ8PSY 5)&16#-*4)&340'&"450'5)&$*5: %63)". 3&(*0/413&.*&3 ."(";*/& '0380.&/ 07&3 1306%-: 13&4&/5 RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND Ball battle AJAX -- Pickering High School player Madeline Iozzi (left) jumped for the ball against Notre Dame Secondary School player Jessica Koscik during LOSSA girls’ soccer at Pickering High School last week.

PICKERING ATHLETIC CENTRE Top marks for gymnasts HOCKEY Wakefield, Stoneburgh among locals invited to camp by Hockey Canada CALGARY -- Five Dur- ham Region players were among the 109 identified by Hockey Canada for a strength and conditioning camp that will take place from May 25-30 at the Uni- versity of Calgary. Invitations were made based on evaluations done throughout the 2009-10 season by Hockey Canada’s regional scouts and the coaching staffs of Canada’s National Women’s Team, National Women’s Under- 22 Team and National Women’s Under-18 Team. Those who were chosen to attend the off-ice camp were evaluated while they played with their club teams in-season, as well as at various national camps and events. Defencemen Britni Smith of Port Perry, Shannon Stoneburgh of Pickering and Tara Watchorn of Newcastle, and forwards Kelly Terry of Whitby and Jennifer Wakefield of Pickering were the local players selected to attend the camp. The list consists of 19 goaltenders, 33 defence- men and 57 forwards. Wakefield is one of three who were with the Nation- al Women’s Team for the 2009-10 season, but released before the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201019 AP Customer Service Reps (English & Bilingual French/English) Due to popular demand, we are having a career event at our contact centre in Oshawa.
