The Heroes At Home Program was launched at Sir John A. Macdonald Pub- lic School Monday when four veterans spoke with a group of Grade 7 and 8 stu- dents in a discussion-type setting. The program enables veterans to visit the students to discuss their experiences serving Canada. The program, a partnership between the Pickering Veterans’ Association and the Durham District School Board, is intended to not only help students learn about Canada’s history, but to also high- light the importance of good character, as well as giving back. “It sounds like a great idea,” said RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pat Tranquada spoke to a group of Grade 7 students at Sir John A. Macdonald Public School on June 7. The Pickering Veterans Association was dem- onstrating the Heroes at Home program where war veterans visit schools to speak to students.

On June 2, Mayor Parish joined Sierra Club Ontario chapter director Dan McDermott in releasing a Sierra Club report support- ing Ajax’s stance that the headwaters of the Carruthers Creek in Pickering should not be developed. The lands are north of Hwy. 7 and west of Lakeridge Road and are not part of the Greenbelt. The Region of Durham included the lands for development in its Growth Plan submission to the Province. The Carruthers Creek flows through Ajax and empties into Lake Ontario at the Carruthers Marsh. At the news conference, held at the Car- ruthers Marsh pavilion in Ajax, Mayor Parish said the concern is that area of south Ajax will see more flooding if the headwaters of the creek are developed. “Some of the housing to the west of me is already under flood designation.” Mayor Parish said the land in question, about 3,200 acres, is projected to house about 30,000 people, a town the size of Orangeville. He said the area does not connect to either the cur- rent urban Pickering or the planned Seaton subdivision and should not be developed. “It’s a new settlement which is specifically prohibited in the Places to Grow Act,” he said, adding that in a draft decision, the Province has recommended deleting the lands from Pickering’s proposed urban area. Pickering councillor Bonnie Littley said she intended to ask Pickering council to withdraw its support of the urbanization of the lands. When asked by a member of the audience who was behind designating the lands, Coun. Littley didn’t name names, but Mayor Parish did, calling out Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. “Mayor Ryan was very much behind this and to the best of my knowledge still supports this,” he said, adding Regional Chairman Roger Anderson also strongly supported the development. Neither Mayor Ryan’s office nor Regional representatives returned calls for comment on the press conference and they were not present at the event. The Sierra Club report emphasized the connection between urbanization and flood- ing in other areas of Ontario. When land is paved over, rainfall cannot be absorbed and it travels over land into the creeks which see a much larger flow rate, possibly causing flood- ing in downstream areas. Mr. McDermott said the water also picks up pollutants from the paved surfaces and cited Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering as a worst-case scenario. Runoff from Hwy. 401 and urban Pickering has ren- dered the water in Frenchman’s Bay too salty to support the ecosystem it once did. “When you pave it over, you increase the possibility of flooding as well as the drainage of pollutants,” said Mr. McDermott. Rick Smith, of the Ontario Greenbelt Alli- ance and Environmental Defence, said coun- cils in other parts of the GTA were passing motions to protect their remaining green spaces and there wouldn’t be a second opportunity to get things right.

New report to engage residents and stakeholders PICKERING -- The City’s release of a new living document will help navigate Picker- ing’s sustainable journey. The Measuring Sustainability Report, released on June 1, helps benchmark the City’s progress in transforming itself from a suburban community to a sustainable city. The report, which can be found online, has 32 indicators of sustainability, grouped into the areas of healthy environment, healthy economy, healthy society, responsible devel- opment and responsible consumption. They’re being tracked with the help of community partners. The indicators touch a number of bases, from the quality of Pickering’s air and water to Pickering’s progress toward being an inclusive and welcoming community with healthy employment opportunities. The report includes information and links describing what residents and stakehold- ers can do to help, since measurable prog- ress can only be made with the community’s participation and assistance, according to a press release. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, chairman of the Sustainable Pickering Advi- sory Committee, is proud of all of the hard work and consultation that went into the report. “This landmark report will play an instru- mental role in how Pickering matures as a city,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan mentioned Pickering’s goal is to become one of the most sustain- able cities in Canada. “Not only will this report track our progress and set our course, it will do so by engag- ing our residents and stakeholders, which makes for an even stronger and livable com- munity,” he said.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.com Sustainable city requires sustained effort by citizens, Pickering officials Pickering officials are recruiting every- day residents to help the city transform itself from a suburban bedroom commu- nity to a sustainable city. And it’s crucial that City officials and taxpayers work together to ensure that Pickering succeeds in the coming months and years in reducing its environmental footprint, reduces its reliance on climate- changing energy and minimizes its con- tribution to air and water pollution. The Measuring Sustainability Report, released June 1, helps provide bench- marks for the City to follow -- in partner- ship with residents -- as it implements strategies and adopts policies to make Pickering a livable, sustainable city. To be successful in moving away from a culture of consumption, every single res- ident in Pickering can do a small part to contribute to the cause. It can be as simple as switching off lights in your home or business, collecting rain- water for your garden, or taking a walk to the store instead of hopping in your car. Each individual effort can make a small difference in addressing the 32 indica- tors of sustainability included in the City’s report which covers such areas as the environment, responsible development and consumption and a healthy society. But just as City officials want to create a livable and living society, the Measur- ing Sustainability Report must be a living document. To that end, residents can ani- mate it by adopting the recommendations to suit their own needs, by taking action in their neighbourhoods and communi- ties, or by adding to the solution with their own innovative ideas. Sustainability in Pickering will require a substantial, long-term commitment from City officials and local residents. By working in partnership, Pickering and its citizens can minimize energy con- sumption and our collective use of natural resources, reduce the output of heat, air and water pollution, establish and grow food and produce partnerships closer to home, use land resources more efficiently and look for ways to expand our already successful Durham Region recycling and composting programs. There is much work to do, to be certain, but Pickering residents have demonstrat- ed their awareness and their willingness to contribute to sustainability. City officials must continue to pro- mote the initiative, continue to monitor the benchmarks and continue to recruit everyday citizens to the cause. A sustained effort will help create a sus- tainable city. -- Pickering News Advertiser HIT AND RUN Dog owners responsible for ensuring pet safety To the editor: Re: Speeding driver killed my dog, letter to the editor, May 31. As an avid dog lover I am deeply sad- dened to hear of the premature loss of a loved one. Our beloved pets rely on us to provide a safe environment for them to live long and happy lives. Whether by misfortune or neg- ligence Rocco’s owners did not do this. While the speeding driver indeed killed Rocco in Pickeirng, Rocco’s death was preventable with the level of care that is required with having a pet. To say, “Today my dog, tomorrow it could be a child” is rhetoric from someone who refuses to accept this responsibility. The Gukathasans may also be surprised to learn that according to the law they can be held responsible for any damages to the car in this unfortunate and preventable accident. As I hug my own dog, I wish that this inci- dent had not happened. Barnie Gold Oshawa TAXES Don’t forget HST at election time To the editor: On July 1 the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) takes effect in Ontario, enacted by Premier Dalton McGuinty’s government. It will extend the eight per cent Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to products and servic- es for which we now only pay the five per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST). This tax increase will be applied to electricity, natural gas, and insurance as well as many other products. Although it is good for business the HST will be a burden for consumers, particu- larly those working at low paying jobs and those on fixed incomes. This comes from a premier who promised in 2003 not to raise taxes but who gave us the health care pre- mium or tax in his first year as premier, and now this. The tax credits and rebates Premier McGuinty promised to soften the impact of the HST are mainly for one year only and not much at that. The new tax is also being implemented in British Columbia where there are orga- nized protests and petitions against it, unlike in Ontario where we are passively accepting the HST, something which Pre- mier McGuinty counts on as well as our collective poor memory at election time. People will lose their homes over this tax but the Premier has not promised to lower the PST to offset the increase. As in B.C. we should remember at elec- tion time who voted for this tax grab and send a message to have it revoked or reduced for the sake of the economy and people. Chris Topple Oshawa GAZA O bvious what happened in flotilla incident To the editor: With Canada pussyfooting over the flotil- la assault and with Prime Minister Stephen Harper having declared himself a friend and supporter of Israel, it should be no sur- prise that our government is taking a wait- and-see stand on Israel’s actions against the Gaza flotilla. Although much of the world has been quick to express condemnation, and ambassadors are being summoned around the world to explain Israel’s actions, Harp- er spokesman Dimitri Soudas says only that, “Canada deeply regrets the loss of life and the injuries suffered...we are current- ly looking for more information in order to shed light on what exactly happened.” It should be pretty obvious what hap- pened; Israel committed an act of pira- cy in international waters. And if, as we are increasingly being told, the activists responded with force after being boarded, then they had every right under interna- tional law to do so. Typical Canadian pussyfooting. Wait to see which side of the debate comes out on top, and then issue pious pronouncements guaranteed to attract only approval and praise. No guts at all.

As a telecommunication service, the Internet is a critical component of business, education, health and daily life. The Regional Municipality of Durham wants to identify areas where high-speed Internet access is not available to its citizens. High speed is defined as a minimum of 1.5 Mbps sustained speed of service. The Region will seek information from multiple sources, but the key input will come from citizens. This information will be used to discuss options with telecom providers and for policy decision-making. The results may be incorporated into an application for funding to expand broadband service reach. If you are interested in providing input, please contact us through one of the options listed below and tell us your name, civic address, and explain why you do not have service, or if you have tried to acquire service but have not been successful, please tell us why.

He said the program will teach a num- ber of character traits such as teamwork, perseverance, respect and courage. In fact, the students were going to discuss what they learned in each of those cate- gories afterward. Also, the topic of war allows the qui- eter students to come out of their shells because it’s something they’re legiti- mately interested in. “These kids love talking about war,” he said. Hearing the history from the mouths of those who have fought in the war will usually stick with the kids more than a book, he said. Seventh grader Tyler McGhee found the program to be “an awesome opportu- nity.” Tyler has had relatives who had fought in past wars, but they’ve all died, and he embraced the opportunity to speak to the veterans. “I find it cool we’re learning about all the stuff they did,” he said. He also found it pretty shocking that the veterans were just in their teens when they enlisted, but found it interest- ing that four veterans were strangers at one time, “yet they’re in the same situa- tion, all for the same reason.” Elsie Hetherman, president of the Veterans’ Association, said everyone involved was pleased with the event. “We are really happy with it and we’re most happy because the veterans were just thrilled,” she said. “They were thrilled because the kids were so recep- tive and they asked so many questions.” Students walking up to the veterans to shake their hands at the end of the ses- sion was most impressive, she said. Ms. Hetherman said when she was vol- unteering with reading programs at a Pickering elementary school in the past, she found about half of the kids had divorced parents, and many lacked a strong male figure in their lives. “A lot of kids, particularly boys, do need a man in their lives,” she said. She hopes bringing the veterans into the schools will provide a grandfather- type role for them. The pilot program will take place throughout Pickering public schools this year, with plans to expand it in 2011, Ms. Hetherman said. “My main goal is to keep the name vet- eran alive,” she said, adding she hopes to expand the program to veterans from all of the other wars, including the war in Afghanistan. I ﬁ nd it cool we’re learning about all the stuff they did.

I set my ongoing “diet” aside that day and sam- pled eight different rib recipes from professional ribbers across North America at the third annu- al Pickering Ribfest held by the Rotary Clubs of Ajax and Pickering. The popular event drew nearly 70,000 people to Esplanade Park over the weekend. It was a tough call, but after seeking the help of Ajax reporter Reka Szekely, and Pickering resi- dent and Carleton University journalism student Natalie van Rooy, the Silver Bullet BBQ got our vote for best ribs thanks to its tasty sauce. “For me, the sauce makes the rib and the Silver Bullet had exactly the right combination of sweet and tangy,” Reka reported. “The seasoning gave it a bit of a bite making for a super yummy rib and next year they’ll be the first ribber I visit.” Natalie planned to tell her family to visit the Sil- ver Bullet stand. “They were definitely the best,” she said between bites. We agreed The Thirsty Cactus, a newbie at the Pickering Ribfest, had the best melt-off-the bone ribs. “A little more seasoning on the ribs would have made them my winner,” Reka said. All of the ribs were fantastic. We didn’t rate any less than seven out of 10. When I wrote a preview article to remind people Ribfest was approaching, I made sure to mention there is one thing serious rib-lovers must not forget: wet napkins. And, of course, what did I forget? Wet nap- kins. Although I figured taking a big wad of paper towel from the good sports at Camp 31 would suffice, boy, was I wrong; I ran out of paper towel after my third tasting or so. But the ribs were just too good to leave, even if only for five minutes, in search of more napkins. Reka and I must have exuded professionalism when Mayor Dave Ryan, council and other poli- ticians paraded into the park for the official kick- off to find us, instead of dutifully taking notes like most of our encounters, licking our fingers, with eight half-empty rib containers, bones and wad- ded-up paper towels taking up an entire picnic table. Thank goodness for the people from Sanctuary Pickering, who passed out wet napkins before Mayor Ryan and the rest of the gang stopped by to ask for our verdict. I left before I gave into the tempting smell of Tiny Tom’s Donuts. But the variety of food options, donation opportunities, the composta- ble containers and utensils, beer, natural shade, large seating area, ample parking and interesting vendors, rides and games for the kids made it a must-visit for next year.

This spring, Pastor Stewart and members of his church, with the help of a number of other local churches and organizations, launched the first of hopefully many initia- tives in the future, Pickering Cares. The Pickering Cares door-to-door com- munity food drive invited residents in the L1V area code to leave non-perishable food items at their front doors on May 15. Those outside of the area, or those away for the weekend, were invited to drop off donations at any Pickering fire station. That day volunteers collected and sort- ed the food, creating a convenient way to donate to the St. Paul’s On-the-Hill Com- munity Food Bank and the Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army. The group of volunteers hopes to con- tinue to make the Pickering Cares door- to-door food drive an annual event, and to hold future initiatives such as helping local women’s shelters and autism support groups.

Lots of sunshine and heat can easily turn picnics and barbecues into a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, such as salmonella—and nothing spoils summer fun faster than a dose of food poisoning. “Our testing for gastro-intestinal related illness does increase somewhat during the barbecue season,” says Dr. Doug Tkachuk at LifeLabs, a leading diagnostic test cen- tre. “So we can’t over emphasize how im- portant it is to handle, wash, and prepare food with those cautions in mind.” Here are some LifeLabs food safety tips: • Wash hands often during meal prepara- tion to prevent bacteria from spreading. • When using a cooler, separate raw meat from ready-to-eat foods, including vegeta- bles, to prevent cross-contamination. • Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Cover hot foods such as steak, chicken or hot dogs in foil to retain heat and eat them right away. • Cold foods should stay chilled at 4° C or below. Promptly refrigerate any food you plan to save for the next day. • Cook your meats, ﬁ sh and poultry thor- oughly and use a thermometer to ensure they have reached the proper cooked tem- perature. Clean the thermometer each time you check. • Use a clean plate when taking food off the grill. Remember not to put cooked food on the same plate that held raw meat. • Melon is a favourite summer fruit but it is at greater risk of contamination due to its netted rind. Be sure to wash the surface thoroughly before cutting.. Do not leave cut melons at room temperature for more than two hours. • Food items prepared with mayonnaise, or those high in protein should be chilled until served and as soon as possible again, after. Don’t let them sit in the direct sun- shine. Bacteria multiplies easily in moist foods and warm conditions • Always keep food out of the tempera- ture danger zone of 4° C to 60° C in which bacteria can grow. After only two hours in this temperature range food can become dangerous. www.newscanada.com Prevent food illness in the heat of summer (NC)—Even in summer, too many tempting devices are likely to keep your kid on the couch. And yet the good news is that most of youth rank “playing sports” very high in terms of interest and en- joyment. So why is it that inactivity among Canadian children continues to rise? One reason might be that television, computers, and video games are right there at their ﬁ n- gertips – and the temptation may be even worse in sum- mertime, when kids have so much time on their hands. “Children need to learn a love for exercise at a young age to make their hearts strong and to prevent the many diseases associated with obesity,” says Dr. Doug Tka- chuk at Lifelabs, a leading diagnostic test centre. “Dia- betes, particularly in children, is on the rise in North America, but this can be reversed if families become more dedicated to a healthier lifestyle involving food and exercise. The key is to make it fun.” “Aim for at least one hour of physical exercise or ac- tivity every day so your child’s muscles and bones de- velop properly,” the doctor continued. “Motivate them with a daily plan so they look forward to it. Your park visit, for example, might start with playing freely with other children at ﬁ rst, followed by a ball game, badmin- ton, skipping rope, playing tag, or any other kind of heart-pumping fun.” Teach your child a love for exercise Sports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201013 AP Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurham MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE Rock drops second straight Games get tougher with Brampton, Six Nations and Peterborough ahead SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX --The 0-2 start to the Major Series Lacrosse season isn’t as disappointing to Ajax- Pickering Rock head coach Jim Veltman as is the manner in which it occurred. Veltman’s club fell to 0-2 last Friday following a slim 11-10 loss to the Brooklin Redmen. It was a game, he said, that was winnable for his club. However, Veltman, a long-time veteran of the box lacrosse game, knows those nights will happen as his team continues to build. “We had control of the game late in the third and it got away from us,” the coach said. “It’s part of being a bit young and inexperienced and not settling down the game when it needs to be or not picking up your game when it needs to be. We can chalk that one up to inexperi- ence, I think.” The Rock came out strong, opening the scoring just over a minute in and building a 6- 4 lead after 20 minutes of play. After two periods, they still had the lead, albeit a slim one at 8- 7. The two club’s then traded goals twice in the first six min- utes of the third, which still left the Rock ahead. Then the turn- ing point came. Brooklin coach Wayne Colley made a goalie change, which surprised the Rock and seem- ingly rattled the young club. The Rock were held scoreless from then on and two Brooklin goals in 2:02 inside the final eight minutes sealed the deal. As disappointing as the turn in fortunes was, Veltman did pull some positives out of the set- back. “It was a bit of a heartbreaker for us and I thought we deserved a better result, but I liked our improvement,” he said. “We lost 11-7 to them the first game and then this game we had them 10-9 in the third peri- od late.” While they have proven to be in tough during two games against Brooklin, things cer- tainly won’t get any easier for the Rock, starting Thursday against the Brampton Excelsi- ors, followed by games against the Peterborough Lakers and Six Nations Chiefs. On the flip side, though, the tougher competition will only be a good thing for the long- term development of the Rock. “You’ve got to measure up to some of the best teams and I don’t mind that,” Veltman said. “I enjoy playing teams that are maybe more our level with Brooklin and Kitchener, but at the same time. guys have to experience what it is like to play against the best and that is what we’re going up against the next three games. I think it will be a good measuring stick for us and help us get a sense of where we’re really at.” Meanwhile, from a roster stand point, the team hasn’t quite set- tled on what it has. The Rock are still awaiting potential commit- ments from a few players and the hope is that all that will be ironed out soon. “Our idea is to sort of set our lineup so that we’re not a team that is always evolving and ever- changing. I believe that we’re a team that needs to develop together as a group and you can’t do that if you keep on bring- ing in new faces. We’re going to try and set our team as quick as possible,” Veltman said. One player they are holding out hope for is Steve Keough, who was the first pick in the dis- persal draft of the Barrie Lake- shores. Keough is unlikely to make a full commitment to the Rock due to other obligations in Syra- cuse, but Veltman said the team can live with that. “Any given night, if he can play, we’re going to insert him into our lineup and get him excited about being an Ajax-Pickering Rock,” he said.

TRACK AND FIELD Felicien golden in Poland Pickering hurdler makes it back to the podium BYDGOSZCZ, POLAND -- Per- dita Felicien’s first visit to Poland was a good one. The 29-year-old Pickering hur- dler captured gold in the wom- en’s 100-metre hurdles event at the IX European Athletics Festi- val. Felicien won in a time of 12.99 seconds, just ahead of Jamaica’s Delloreen Ennis-London, who clocked in at 13.02, and Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, who fin- ished at 13.05 after receiving a warning for jumping the gun. While happy with the win, Fel- icien at first was a little confused when the race times were posted on the stadium’s Jumbotron. “I came away with the win but when all the ladies saw the Jum- botron results, we were con- fused,” Felicien wrote on her blog. “The race felt a lot faster than what it was telling us. But turns out the wind was a very strong - 1.8m/s. So in that regard my 12.99 isn’t too bad.” Felicien arrived in Poland just a day before Sunday’s race after competing in Oslo the previous day. This weekend, she is back closer to home as the Diamond League makes a stop in New York City. “I’m looking forward to racing a tough field this weekend in NYC as the Diamond League comes to North America. And hoping to finally execute a race I can be technically happy about,” she wrote. I came away with the win, but when all the ladies saw the Jumbotron results, we were confused.

PROTECT YOUR PRIVACYFREE SHREDDING DAY U8 prevails in a shootout MISSISSAUGA -- The Ajax Blast, a mem- ber of Ajax Soccer Club, won the U8 girls’ division in the Mississauga International Soccer Tournament. In the preliminary round, Ajax fin- ished with a 2-1 record with its only loss to rivals UMSC Strikers 5-2 in the first game. After the first game, the coach- ing staff made some adjustments around team defence and the girls only gave up one goal per game for the remainder of the tournament defeating the host Mis- sissauga Falcons 3-1 and Dixie Athlet- ics 8-1. With their 2-1 record, the Blast advanced to the semifinals where they once again defeated the Mississauga Fal- cons 3-1 to advance to the finals. The championship game was a rematch with the UMSC Strikers. Union- ville scored first on a penalty shot. The coaching staff again made some minor adjustments and the girls responded by tieing the game with about 10 minutes left to play. The game went directly into a shootout. When the dust settled, the Blast walked away as the U8 tournament champions as a result of UMSC’s first two shooters missing the net. Goals came from Maeve Camp- bell, Emma DeSilva, Guilia Giovinazzi, Brieanna Grant, Grace Hurren, Mikayla Moser and Caitlyn Nyla Burgess. Deja Newell provided outstanding goalkeep- ing. Caitlyn Searle was awarded the tour- nament game ball for her exemplary play throughout the tournament. Team members are Nyla Burgess, Maeve Campbell, Emma DeSilva, Imman Elberdi, Guilia Giovinazzi, Briean- na Grant, Jaeda Grant, Grace Hurren, Mikayla Moser, Deja Newell, Caitlyn Searle, Savanna Stubbs and Kaiya Toth. The team is coached by Karen Michalic- ka, along with assistant coaches Bob Til- ley and Ken Burgess, and manager Pat- rick Stubbs.
