Nursing home system in paralysis BY JILLIAN FOLLERT, ROB O’FLANAGAN AND MIKE ADLER newsroom@durhamregion.com Ontario’s long-term care system is paralyzed, and failing its most vulnerable residents. More than 600 government funded homes are sup- posed to provide high quality, round-the-clock care to the frail elderly. But Metroland’s special report shows seniors stuck on record wait lists, entangled in bureaucracy and subject to pres- sure tactics that jeopardize their rights. First in a four-part series DURHAM -- When Peggy McLaurin opened her front door at 4 a.m. to find the police return- ing her husband, who had been found wander- ing aimlessly through the neighbourhood, the Oshawa woman knew it was time to consider long-term care. What she didn’t know, was how stressful, how difficult and how gut-wrenching the process would be. Peggy and Doug, a retired veterinarian who spent years working at East Oshawa Animal Hospital, have been married for 33 years. Their retired years were typical until about a year and a half ago, when Mr. McLaurin, 83, began struggling with the onset of dementia. At first, he was cared for at home, but soon it became too much. “He was becoming more confused and he was falling all the time,” Ms. McLaurin says. “Every time he fell, I had to call my son-in-law to come over and pick him up.” It was suggested that he be admitted to hospi- tal for rehab treatment to keep up the strength in his muscles and limbs.

BUSINESS An Uphill Climb: Wheels in motion toward improved accessibility in Durham Accessibility Expo addresses the need to educate business owners on new law PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- When most business own- ers hear the words “accessible customer service”, they usually assume this refers to installing a ramp or an automatic door at their establishment. But when it comes to taking the necessary measures to comply with new legislative standards passed into law under the Acces- sibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, it goes well beyond that, says Tracey Tyner Cavanagh, accessibility coordinator with the Region of Durham. “It’s not so much about renovating or hav- ing accessible entrances -- it’s more about how you’re providing your service,” she said. “So it could mean taking more time for somebody explaining something, having a chair for them to sit down and wait instead of standing in a long lineup and all the other creative ways of providing customer ser- vice.” Public businesses have been making tweaks to reduce barriers for individuals with physical limitations for years and had until last March to comply with the law. But the new standards will now also place the same responsibility on private organiza- tions. These smaller businesses and not-for- profits will have until Jan. 1, 2012. To help ease the transition, an Accessibil- ity Expo is being held in the Campus Recre- ation and Wellness Centre at Durham Col- lege/UOIT in Oshawa from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 17. The day-long event will feature an accessibility marketplace of more than 100 exhibitors demonstrating related tech- nologies and devices, community services and information, home health-care prod- ucts and services. The idea to host the event came from the various volunteers who make up the region- al and local municipal accessibility advi- sory committees, along with the economic development and tourism department of the Region of Durham. Paul Feldman, chairman of the Ajax com- mittee, who uses a wheelchair due to a severe disability, was one of the first people to suggest this type of event be held locally. “This will place Durham Region as a lead- er in ensuring its residents are aware of the Accessibility for Ontarians Disabilities Act, as well as goods and services that will assist in breaking down barriers to accessibility,” he said. A special breakfast will be held just before the Expo, from 7:30 to 10 a.m., to offer busi- ness owners an exclusive opportunity to learn more about the legislation and pro- vide essential tips on how to adhere to the requirements without breaking the bank. “We don’t want businesses making assumptions and thinking that this means a lot of money and a lot of investment,” said Ms. Tyner Cavanagh. “It’s not necessarily about that -- it’s about having a greater awareness of the entire community and what some of their needs are.” Edie Forsyth, corporate director of an Oshawa-based consulting and training firm, Accessibility Experts Ltd., will be speaking at the event. “We just completed a survey where we polled Ontarians about whether they knew what this Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act was and 68 per cent had never even heard of it,” she said. “We want to get the word out to people and educate businesses and non-profit organi- zations so that they’re in compliance with this legislation because they only have until the end of next year.” The Accessibility Expo will also include presentations and performances by spe- cial guests, including motivational speak- ers Robert Pio Hajjar and Dr. Mark Nagler, Paralympic gold medalist and sledge hock- ey goaltender Paul Rosen and singer/song- writer Justin Hines. The Durham Region Accessibility Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thurs- day, June 17 in the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre at Durham College/UOIT, located at 2000 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa. The event is open to the public and admission is free.

Provincial decision expected within weeks KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The battle between those opposed to an incinerator and those sup- porting the facility is getting touchy. A sharp exchange during a Regional coun- cil meeting Wednesday between Durham Chairman Roger Anderson and Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson highlighted the division. The exchanged started when Coun. Nich- olson said Regional staff were ignoring direc- tion and approving a contract that didn’t meet the council guidelines. Mr. Anderson stopped the councillor and asked him to retract the statement. “Ask away,” Coun. Nicholson said. “You cannot, cannot, stand in this cham- ber, with me in this chair, and suggest staff deliberately went against a resolution of this council,” Mr. Anderson said. Coun. Nicholson said he didn’t say that, but Mr. Anderson ruled him out of order and turned off his microphone. When Coun. Nicholson challenged the chairman’s ruling, he lost in a 16-2 vote (10 councillors were absent when the vote was taken). Fellow Oshawa Councillor April Cul- len supported Coun. Nicholson. The provincial ministry of the environment (MOE) is expected to announce a decision on Durham’s incinerator plans within the next few weeks. Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis said Durham and York regions are waiting for the MOE decision before signing the contract with Covanta, the company Durham select- ed to design, build and operate the facility. Staff is waiting for the MOE decision to see if it impacts the contract, he noted. Clarington resident Wendy Bracken, an opponent of the incinerator, implored coun- cillors to review the contract before it’s final. “You need to see the contract. It’s absolute- ly critical to protecting the health in Durham Region,” she said. Linda Gasser, another Clarington resident and incinerator opponent, noted the con- tract has been signed, but Durham and the Region of York, which will also ship garbage to the incinerator, are still waiting for the MOE decision. “That Covanta has signed a contract before the approval indicates to me they have off- loaded their concerns on the Regions,” she said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 20104 AP WASTE Durham incinerator fight getting testy Pickering woman charged in boating mishap BUCKHORN LAKE -- A Sunday collision involving a boat and jet ski resulted in charges for a Pickering woman.

The Durham Region Service Canada Centre for Youth, with locations in both Oshawa and Ajax, is up and running. “Because of the reces- sion, there weren’t a lot of jobs out there for students last year,” youth services officer Sase Narayan said. But so far this year, “we do see a trend of going back up in terms of jobs,” she said. The centre provides youth with job-hunting help including access to job postings and assis- tance with resume-writ- ing and cover letters. Prospective employ- ers are able to find flex- ible staff, post volunteer opportunities and receive information on prevailing wage rates, employment standards and labour laws. So far this year, a “pretty good assortment of jobs,” ranging from kitchen help to office work and beyond, is available, Mr. Narayan said. Also available is the “Odd Job Squad,” which allows short-term employers to find casual labourers for jobs like fence-painting or yard work. The Oshawa centre, located in Midtown Mall at 200 John St. W., is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Ajax site, at 320 Harwood Ave. S., is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Job listings for students are also available online at www.job bank.gc.ca. The Centre will also hold a Job Expo, set for Wednesday, July 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Best Western Oshawa, 559 Bloor St. W. It’s open to both job and employee seekers.

Throughout the Lions year, which runs from September until June, we collected more than 1,885 pairs of unwanted eye- glasses, lenses and sunglasses for those in need in developing countries. The donated specs have been sent to our regional eyeglass recycling centre where they will be cleaned, sorted by prescription and prepared for distribution by Lions and other groups. By taking the time to give us your glass- es, you have helped to improve the life of someone in need. In most developing nations, eye care is either unaffordable or inaccessible. And for many, poor eyesight that is left uncorrected can lead to unemployment for adults and a child’s inability to attend school. The Ajax Lions Club would also like to express our appreciation to the follow- ing locations: Pickering Optical, Walmart Vision Centre Ajax location, Dr. Ginter’s office, Kearns Optical, and Ajax Optical for contributing to the project’s success by serving as convenient drop-off centres. The locations still have boxes available for glasses to be dropped off. Those interested in learning more about other Lions Club activities can contact Micheline Rheaume at lionmich@smerkette.ca or Rick Lush at lionrick@smerker.ca. Thanks again for sharing our vision of helping others to see. Rick Lush Ajax Lions Club COMMUNITY Missing sweaters a big disappointment To the editor: On Friday, June 4, my father was looking after my two little girls and took them over to our neighbourhood park along Glenan- na Road. When he got home he realized that he had left their sweaters at the park but was unable to go right back to get them since he had put my youngest down for a nap. I returned home within two hours of him leaving the sweaters at the park and I immediately went over to get them but discovered that they had been stolen. I thought I lived in a decent family neigh- bourhood but I am disgusted that some- one would take two little sweaters from a neighbourhood park instead of leaving them on the bench. I hope the person who took the sweaters is reading this and feels remorse for what they have done. Caroline Cabral, Pickering SAFETY Pet owner must accept some responsibility To the editor: Re: Dog was struck and killed by a car on Fairport Road Friday, May 21. As a homeowner in the neighbourhood and a fellow dog owner, I was saddened to see the sign put up announcing this dog’s untimely death due to “speeding”. However, I fail to see how “speed” is deemed as the sole factor in the poor pet’s death. Why wasn’t this pet on a leash? What was he doing on this very busy street? Surely, the owner must accept some of the responsibility for his pet’s death. Janet Boccone Pickering AID Home at Last helped me To the editor: I would like to bring attention to, and publicly thank, one of the many fine vol- unteer organizations operating in Durham Region. Earlier his year, I was hospitalized and on my release date, I was prepared to take a taxi home. As I am a senior citizen living alone, the nurse suggested and con- tacted the organization Home At Last. Brenda, the young lady who arrived to take me home, was courteous and she not only drove me home, but also stopped in to the supermarket and helped me pick up a few groceries that I needed. I would like to thank Home at Last for the extreme kindness Brenda showed me that day. Everyone in Durham Region should be thankful that there are wonderful vol- unteer organizations like this in our area. One of these organizations might give a helping hand to someone near to you. Donald B. Lee Oshawa A sense of elation over the Province’s long-awaited announcement on the Hwy. 407 expansion turned to disbelief last week, when the fine print on the news was revealed. Instead of building the toll road from Pickering straight through to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington, as long-drafted plans have always called for, Queen’s Park now intends to end the highway at Simcoe Street in Oshawa. Durham’s politicians and business com- munity could be forgiven if they felt a gift had been bestowed upon them, only to be snatched away in the next breath. While Regional Chairman Roger Anderson called it “good news and bad news”, there isn’t an air of eager anticipation floating around Whitby or Oshawa municipal offices, where officials have visions of gridlock in their heads. Indeed, gridlock and a long-recognized need for an enhanced east-west transpor- tation corridor through the Greater Toronto Area has always been behind the plans for Hwy. 407, which currently stretches from Burlington in the west through to Picker- ing’s Brock Road. Durham Region has wait- ed patiently and eagerly for decades to see the project come to fruition, right through to Clarington as has always been expect- ed. For commuters, and for businesses that depend on moving freight through the area, the expanded Hwy. 407 would take a welcome load off an increasingly clogged Hwy. 401.But ending the highway instead at Simcoe Street in Oshawa will put a strain on the city’s local roads, and it’s a point Mr. Anderson made sure to share with Energy and Infrastructure Minister Brad Duguid when he met with him recently, hoping to convince him of the need to build the entire highway. The chairman called the abbrevi- ated plans for the highway “a big problem for us. It will be a significant problem for Whitby and it will be a significant problem for Oshawa.” Durham politicians need only cast glances as far east as Pickering, to see how the City has been negatively impacted by streams of 407 traffic exiting onto local streets, when they get to the end of the line at Brock Road. Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson called the plan “a recipe for chaos on Simcoe Street.” With Provincial approval bestowed on the highway’s environmental assess- ment and transportation officials appar- ently ready to put a shovel in the ground, it makes little sense to create a second set of problems while building to alleviate the first problem. The Province would serve taxpay- ers best by doing the project right the first time, and taking the highway all the way to Clarington’s 35/115 link. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group Hwy. 407 needs to go all the way to the end of the line durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 20107 P But once Mr. McLaurin became a patient at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, his demen- tia rapidly worsened. He was no longer able to participate in rehab therapy, but hospital staff determined he was too sick to go home again. With no long-term care beds available, Mr. McLaurin became stuck in a state of limbo that hospitals call “Alternative Level of Care” or ALC. He and his wife chose three long-term care homes in Oshawa and were put on a waiting list, but it wasn’t long before Ms. McLaurin says she began to feel pressured to choose different facilities. “There was a long wait for the homes in Oshawa and they wanted to get him out,” she says. “They kept pushing and pushing until I took him off the list for the homes he wanted and put him on ones with shorter lists.” Those lists were for homes in Bowmanville, Cannington and Newcastle. She said the hospital threatened her with a $900 a day fee if a bed came up in one of the Clarington homes, and the McLaurins refused to accept it. They’re already paying $1,400 a month for him to stay in hospital as an ALC patient, a hardship for Ms. McLaurin, who still lives in their home and is responsible for all those bills. Ms. McLaurin says she is diligent about visiting her husband in hospital every day - - he has since been transferred to Lakeridge Health Oshawa -- but she worries about getting to and from nursing homes in Clar- ington, if that’s where he ends up. “People need someone to visit them every day,” she says. “They go downhill without that.” A growing number of vulnerable Ontari- ans are trying with little success to find what they need in a long-term care system that is overwhelmed, unwieldy and tangled in red tape. Health Minister Deb Matthews agrees there are problems, but says it will take time to turn the system around. The Province’s $3-billion-a-year network of government-licensed, publicly support- ed nursing homes is meant to provide high- quality care to Ontario’s most fragile and medically needy residents. Situation Critical -- a Metroland Special Report -- shows a system in paralysis, with only one nursing-home bed in 100 available across Ontario, and with an average wait as high as 200 days in some areas. A $1.1-billion government program, cre- ated three years ago to make home support more widely and easily available, was sup- posed to ease the problem. Instead, wait lists have expanded, leaving more seniors in need of long-term care at home, and thousands more taking up hos- pital beds with nowhere to go. From 2007 to 2009, the average wait time for a nursing-home bed in Ontario more than doubled, from 49 to 109 days. The provincewide tally of people waiting is now more than 25,000 and rising, dou- bled from 12,000 in 2005. The supply of new beds is static, with annual growth of less than 1 per cent. Only 900 more beds are expected to be available in nursing homes over the next 24 months. For hard-to-place seniors with a need for a higher level of care, waits can be two or more times the average. In rural areas and northern Ontario, families may be separat- ed by hundreds of kilometres, if there are beds at all. On average, less than 40 per cent of applicants get their first-choice home. Ms. Matthews, the health minister, says she is aware “we do have work to do in the access to long-term care homes. “We know that people are waiting a long time to get into a long-term care home. But, we also know that with the right invest- ments, we can actually keep people at home longer.” Ms. Matthews says the ultimate solution is to rely more on care at home, and to make greater use of shorter-term “restorative” beds. By February, Ontario had 813 of the inter- im beds Ms. Matthews referred to, in nurs- ing homes, hospitals or hospital-managed sites, and more are planned, the ministry says. In such placements, the elderly are “build- ing their strength up, they’re getting health- ier, and are actually, many of them, going home, those who would have otherwise thought they were going into long-term care,” Ms. Matthews says. The Metroland investigation also found bureaucracy is such an obstacle that con- sultants to industry and the U.S. military are being retained to help improve the process of moving people into nursing homes. Some efficiency methods being tried in Ontario are adapted from the assembly lines of the Toyota car company. One study counted 160 distinct steps, including access to nine separate databas- es, just to move a senior from hospital into a long-term care bed. Done by Orillia consultant Jeff Dole- weerd from observations at Quinte Health Care’s Trenton Memorial, that 2008 study - - sponsored by the Toronto-based Change Foundation -- identified wasteful steps that occur in hospital before patients leave for a nursing home. *** Efficiency consultant Ron Bercaw has adapted a Toyota assembly line technique to help streamline the process of getting Ontario’s elderly out of hospitals and into nursing-home beds. Mr. Bercaw first adapted the “Lean” tech- nique to save a failing auto-parts plant he managed in Ohio, and then taught it to 30 Ontario hospitals and Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) in the last two and a half years. His tools include streamlining procedures he executed for the defence industry and at the Pentagon. Mr. Bercaw’s “kaizen” (Japanese for “change for the better”) events help health administrators see unnecessary steps that prevent the free flow of the elderly into nursing homes. Susan Bisaillon, executive director of clin- ical operations of Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga, says the Lean exercise with Mr. Bercaw helped identify waste. In 2009, Trillium had as many as 131 seniors earmarked for nursing-home care in its wards, and a “consistently gridlocked” emergency room, recalls Ms. Bisaillon. Mr. Bercaw had staff place coloured sticky notes on a wall to recreate every step in a patient’s journey to either a long-term care bed or home. There were 82, and only 16 added real value for the patient. It was an “ah-ha moment” proving Trilli- um’s processes needed a major overhaul. “We realized that it was just totally flawed,” Ms. Bisaillon says. *** Metroland also found that those fortunate enough to secure a placement are cared for predominantly by overwhelmed personal support workers for whom a lack of provin- cial regulation means inconsistent training, lack of accountability and a backbreaking work pace that often removes the opportu- nity for meaningful personal contact. Nursing home staff in general are stretched to the limit, the result of years of understaff- ing and a steady influx of older and sicker residents. That trend will continue. In a decade, the first of the baby boom generation will hit 75. By 2036, the number of Ontarians 75 and over will rise to 2.2 mil- lion, from 850,000 today. New regulations come into force next month in a modernized piece of long-term- care legislation in the works since 2003. Ministry officials hope the regulations will spur significant change. Once in a home -- despite the system’s ail- ments -- most residents rate the care as sat- isfactory, according to a 2009 survey by the Ontario Health Quality Council. Getting through the door remains the major challenge.

Last week at Frenchman’s Bay, members promoted the many courses surrounding boat safety offered in Pickering, and also con- ducted courtesy checks for boat- ers who wished to ensure their boats were properly equipped with safety equipment. “Unfortunately, we’ve already had too many drownings and boating accidents already this year” in Ontario, Mr. Lennerton said. But, Mr. Lennerton said, as long as proper safety precautions are taken, power boating and sailing can provide great opportunities. For example, one couple who just completed a safety course planned to sail south this sum- mer. “Having that boating course under their belts will help them tremendously,” he said. Mr. Lennerton performed a safety check on squadron sec- retary Judi Kowalchuk’s power boat, called My Idea. She passed with flying colours after showing her boating licence, flare gun, life jackets, boat regis- tration, marine radio, fire extin- guisher, water-tight flashlight, navigation lights and a number of other safety requirements. Ms. Kowalchuk and her hus- band recently moved onto their boat for the summer. “I love it, just absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s like waking up as if you’re on vacation every day. But I don’t think we would have done it if we hadn’t taken the course. That 14 weeks really makes a big difference.” The check is not mandatory, but a good idea to ensure the boat is at its safest, said Mr. Lennerton, who gave a sticker to people who passed. He added many boaters want to learn about boating quickly, but the recreational activity is some- thing that is very dynamic and he encourages taking proper cours- es on boat safety. The 14-week boat course will begin Oct. 12 and is $266. The boat pro course begins Oct. 13 and is $69. The very high frequency radio course will take place on Nov. 20 and 21, and is $79. The global positioning system course takes place Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, and is $75 to join. Registering now is encouraged to reserve a spot. More courses will be available in 2011.

The award, presented during a gala fea- turing a virtual who’s who of Canadian journalism in Toronto Thursday night, honours an organization which embod- ies exemplary journalistic standards and practices. The MDRMG includes Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington This Week, Ajax/ Pickering News Advertiser, Port Perry Star, Uxbridge Times-Journal, Northum- berland News and the Brighton Indepen- dent. The newspapers’ submission “both wowed and educated the jury since sev- eral of its members were unfamiliar with the publication,” said a news release from the CJF. “This paper is hitting well above its weight, not afraid to take on large gov- ernment institutions and the justice sys- tem in the pursuit of full disclosure and the public’s right to know,” said John Macfarlane, CJF’s chairman. “This is a spectacular honour,” noted MDRMG Editor-In-Chief Joanne Burghardt. “An achievement that each and every member of our staff can be very proud of because they have all contributed to our success. Their dedication, profession- alism, skills and willingness to take on new challenges make them a force to be reckoned with on any level – large, small, local, regional or national.” Previous winners in the small/local category (introduced in 2007) have been the daily Guelph Mercury: The Telegram, a daily from St. John’s, Newfoundland; and the Tyee, a unique virtual magazine in Vancouver, B.C. The Toronto Star won the Excellence in Journalism Award in the large or national media category, sponsored by the Jack- man Foundation and the Canadian Jour- nalism Foundation. “Editors, publishers and even owners are only as good as their reporters, and this country has some great reporters -- I’d like to say mostly at the Toronto Star, but also at The Globe and Mail, and the National Post, and the Sun papers,” said Michael Cooke, editor of the Toronto Star, during his acceptance speech. “It’s the journalism of pursuit, the jour- nalism of energy. We’re blessed to be working with this kind of competition. It keeps us fit, and keeps us honest. But we need to back our reporters up with good salaries, and benefits, and legal protec- tion...and not look so closely at their expense accounts.” In the large media category previous winners have been: the Winnipeg Free Press, The Canadian Press, The Hamil- ton Spectator, The Globe and Mail, CBC News – Ontario, CBC News – Newfound- land, The Ottawa Citizen, The Kitchener- Waterloo Record, CTV News, Maclean’s Magazine, The Toronto Star, and The Telegraph Journal from New Brunswick. It was an extra special evening for Tor- star Corporation, noted John Honderich, chair of the Torstar Board of Directors, with both Metroland’s Durham-Nor- thumberland taking the small media award and the Toronto Star the large media award: both are Torstar proper- ties. “This is the Stanley Cup of journalism,” Mr. Honderich told Metroland’s Durham Region and Northumberland County journalists at a gathering held Friday at the Oshawa Golf Club.

Editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt held the award. Each and every member of our staff can be very proud of because they have all contributed to our success. Their dedication, professionalism, skills and willingness to take on new challenges make them a force to be reckoned with on any level – large, small, local, regional or national. Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-chief, Metroland Durham Region Media Group This is the Stanley Cup of journalism. John Honderich, chair of the Torstar Board of Directors FAST FACTS Acceptance speech Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-Chief of Metroland’s Dur- ham Region and Northumberland County division, gave this speech in accepting the Canadian Journalism Foundation Excellence in Journalism Award in Toronto When I think of community journalism, these are some images that come to mind. I see Ron Pietroniro capturing an image of Sultana Frizzle throwing her hammer in Beijing - - not because she was the best in the world, but because she was from Perth, Ontario and she’d made it to the Olympics. I see justice reporter Jeff Mitchell standing in a courtroom, without aid of counsel, arguing against a sweeping publication ban that’s not in the public’s best interest. And who among us doesn’t recognize the now infamous Colonel Russel Williams staring sternly into the camera; a photo that has run in the Toronto Star, Maclean’s magazine, on CTV and CBC and countless other places. That photo was taken by Bill Tremblay of the Brighton Independent. Great journalism doesn’t ‘just happen’. It takes teamwork to turn a good news team into a great news team. Let me tell you a quick story about how team- work helped our newsroom through a difficult time. Seven years ago we made a decision to be better the next year than we were that day. Every goal we set depended not only on individual talent, but on journalists pooling that talent and working together. We win as a team, we lose as a team. Just one year after launching our project, on a night just like tonight, our team swept Ontario’s community newspaper awards. We high-five’d each other as we took the podium, winning 17 awards in all. It was a great night. An hour later ... everything changed. Our jour- nalists watched in helpless horror as Photographer of the Year Jason Liebregts performed CPR on Reporter of the Year Stephen Shaw. Stephen was only 34 years old when he died of heart failure. The next morning as I sat alone in my office, I wondered how we would get over such a tragic loss, and if our staff would ever recover from that night. In time we did recover, in fact we got better. It was teamwork and camaraderie that pulled us through our darkest hour. My message to you tonight is this. If you want to be better tomorrow than you are today, the first thing you should do is look at your team. You can throw all the money you want at a problem, but unless there is teamwork, you will struggle to suc- ceed. Tomorrow morning when you walk into your newsroom I want you to stop -- and listen. If you hear chatter and laughter and debate and people sharing stories about what their kids did last night -- you have the underpinnings of a great team. If on the other hand, there is only silence, I want you to ask yourself why, because creativity and excellence can’t percolate in a vacuum. On behalf of our team, in our little corner of Metroland, and on behalf of the thousands of jour- nalists working at the 1,200 community newspa- pers across Canada, I thank you for recognizing that great journalism happens even in the smallest of newsrooms. Can sit in but not ask questions during Ottawa meeting DURHAM -- Members of the public will be allowed to sit in on, but not ask ques- tions during, an upcoming technical ses- sion regarding a proposed new nuclear power plant which may be built on the site next to the existing Darlington facil- ity. The Joint Review Panel, a body mandat- ed by the federal government to assess potential environmental effects of the proposed project, will ask Ontario Power Generation questions on a number of topics, including site layout, groundwa- ter and waste management. The session will be held in Ottawa, at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion’s public hearing room, at 280 Slat- er St., on Tuesday, June 22, beginning at 8:30 a.m. There will be no opportunity for pub- lic or media questions during the event, which will be webcast via the CNSC web- site, at http://www.cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca/ eng/. The Province had announced land adja- cent to the existing Darlington nuclear plant as the preferred site for new reac- tors and in 2006 instructed OPG to begin the environmental assessment necessary before construction can begin. But then, last June, the Province announced that while Atomic Energy of Canada Limited had provided a com- pliant bid, it was billions of dollars too high. Since then, the Province has made no further announcement about when it will go ahead with the new project. But OPG continues its environmental assessment and site preparation work, to ensure it is ready to go when such a deci- sion is made. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 16, 201011 AP ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING www.petersacademy.com PETER'S plus GSTonly MTO Beginner Driver Education Course Provider • 20 hours in classroom instruction • 10 hours of private in-car lessons on automatic • FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction Learn Life Saving Skills Skid Control Evasive Maneuvers Braking Techniques • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST Group Discounts Available (for 3 or more) Mini Package Available An Installment Payment Plan For Your Convenience 965 Dundas St. W.

The Pickering resident, who plays soccer with the University of Toronto Lady Blues, earned her first senior women’s international cap in helping Trinidad and Tobago move on to the next round of the Women’s Gold Cup. King, whose mother was born in Trinidad but moved to Canada at a young age, is eligible to play for the national team of her mother’s home country. She began playing nationally with the U17 program in Trinidad. The journey began on Jan. 2 when King trav- elled to her second home for a 10-day train- ing camp in Trinidad for the U20 CONCACAF qualifiers being held in Guatemala. To help with preparations, the U20 team, the Soca Princess- es, went to Costa Rica for a couple of friendlies, tying 0-0 and falling 2-1. “In respect to the transition from Canada to Trinidad, it was hard to adapt from cold weather to the blazing hot sun but I can’t complain. Who doesn’t enjoy nice warm weather, right?,” said the 19-year-old during an interview with Trini- dad and Tobago’s media officer. “But I feel I have made a comfortable transition from the U20’s to senior. The senior team definitely trains with a lot more intensity and there is lot more under- standing for the game so I really had to come to training prepared.” It was then off to Guatemala to begin the U20 CONCACAF tournament, where in the first match against a very tough and experienced Mexican squad, the Soca Princesses lost 2-1. In the second match against the USA, the squad lost 4-0. The final match saw the battle of the Carib- bean as Trinidad beat Jamaica 1-0. King was on the pitch for every minute of every game. The national program invited her back to Trin- idad in March as the senior Princesses were to go to Puerto Rico to begin the second leg of the Gold Cup qualifying. However, a change in scheduling by CONCACAF saw the matches moved back to late May. King trained with the squad the month of March and then returned to Trinidad in late April to again begin training for the next round. Trinidad’s senior women’s team has a large foreign contingent of USA, English, Canadian players and even one who plays in the Swedish women’s professional elite league. The director of Trinidadian women’s football is ex-Canadian national women’s coach Even Pelerud. King stepped on the pitch for her first interna- tional cap when she played the full 90 minutes at centre back versus St. Lucia as the Princess- es won 6-1. In the second match versus Barba- dos, King was moved to striker as the team had some sickness and injuries. She scored a natu- ral hat trick, netting goals in the fifth, 11th and 48th minutes. In the 72nd minute, King took a corner kick which resulted in an own goal as the ball redirected in off a Barbadian defender. The squad scored in the 90th minute to defeat Bar- bados 5-0. “I was a little surprised that I was asked to play striker against Barbados because I have always played on defense for T and T, but I took the opportunity to prove that I can be a very versa- tile player,” she said of the change in position. “There’s really no secret behind my hat trick. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I would’ve felt happy just to score one goal for my country.” The third game was against a very strong and young Guyanese squad. With Both Trinidad and Guyana winning their first two games, both squads earned the right to advance to the next round of the Gold Cup. Both squads have also earned a spot to participate in the Caribbean South American games in Puerto Rico in late July. Guyana has a large contingent of GTA play- ers, including four players who play with King on her Pickering U21 provincial soccer team in Briana and Kayla Desousa, Nikkita Persuad and Mariam El-Masri. Trinidad won the game 3-0. Both teams are looking forward to seeing each other in the next round of the Gold Cup where they will be joined by Haiti and Cuba. Three of the four teams from the next round of competi- tion will move on to the final round of the Gold Cup being held in Mexico in late October. Can- ada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica have already qualified. The final round of the Women’s Gold Cup will also double as the CON- CACAF qualifier for the 2011 Women’s World Cup to be held in July of 2011 in Germany. Looking ahead, King has some lofty goals. “Off the football pitch, I aspire to finish school- ing and to be able to travel the world. And on the pitch, like any other footballer, I truly wish and have the dedication to reach a World Cup with the national team. That would truly be an expe- rience of a lifetime.” SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Arin King (5), of Pickering, earned her first international cap as a member of the Trinidad and Tobago women’s team. FOOTBALL Godding signs with Toronto Argonauts AJAX -- Keith Godding will get an opportunity to play football close to home this season. The wide receiver from Ajax signed with the Toronto Argonauts earlier this week after a stellar five- year football career at Bishop’s Uni- versity. Godding attended training camp with the Montreal Alouettes in 2008 and 2009. He was a member of the Als’ practice roster for part of the 2008 season before returning to Bishop’s to complete his final year of CIS eligibil- ity. The 26 year old actually scored a touchdown for the Alouettes in a pre- season game in Winnipeg in 2008. As a freshman at Bishops in 2004, he started all eight games, fin- ishing second on the team with 402 yards on 26 catches, and finished in the same spot on the team the follow- ing year with 217 yards on 17 catches. His junior season in 2006 was high- lighted by catching passes in seven of eight games and getting an invite to the annual CIS East-West Bowl. As a senior, he led the Gaiters with 26 receptions and finished 10th in the country in receiving yards with 607. He completed his fifth year of eligibil- ity in 2008 after serving on the Alou- ettes practice roster before returning to school. Godding is a boy’s basketball coach in the Durham West Basket- ball Association. He attended Denis O’Connor High School in Ajax where he was a league all-star in basketball and played football.

Unfortunately for fans of the Ajax-Pickering Rock, the winning streak came with his son’s peewee team out of Markham, resulting in a gold medal championship at a tournament in Huntsville. As for the Rock, the Major Series Lacrosse club is also on a five-game streak, but it is of the losing variety after dropping three more over the course of the weekend. Still trying to find its way through the league in its first season, the Rock lost 10-8 and 11-5 to Bramp- ton and 13-9 to Six Nations. While not winning, the team is competi- tive, and that is something to build on as the team searches for its first victory in franchise history. “That’s what I’ve liked in our team is our competitive drive. We don’t stop,” said Veltman. “It seems like we’ve been falling into a bit of a hole after the first period and then we mount a comeback, but we just don’t have enough. “It’s not much of a difference right now.” Last Thursday in Brampton, the Rock were down 4-1 to the Excelsi- ors after the first period, but fought back for a 10-8 final. At home Friday to the Six Nations Chiefs, the Rock were again competitive despite los- ing each period by scores of 5-3, 4- 3 and 4-3 for a 13-9 loss. Monday in Brampton, the Rock were down 4- 1 after the first and 9-1 through two before mounting a bit of a come- back in the third, only to fall 11-5. Despite being outscored in all five games thus far, Veltman has been impressed with the goaltend- ing from the tandem of Pat Camp- bell and Tyler Carlson. “Pat Campbell is doing what he does best in providing a lot of ener- gy and Tyler Carlson, this is his rookie season,” said the coach. “I started him in Brampton last week and a 10-8 score, that’s phenome- nal for a new goalie to this league who’s going up against NLL all stars,” in the likes of Dan Dawson, Josh Sanderson and Shawn Wil- liams. With an 0-5-0 start, things won’t get any easier no matter who is on the schedule. The next stretch will be a busy one beginning Friday when Peterborough (6-0-0) visits the Ajax Community Centre at 8 p.m., followed by trips to Brooklin (2-3-0) on Monday and Six Nations (4-2-0) on Tuesday. “A lot of our guys haven’t played in this league. I don’t know if peo- ple realize that,” said Veltman of the learning curve. “Probably half the guys on the floor this is their first year or first time at the major level. “I think they are learning the boundaries of how much they can get away with and how much you can’t and that’s a learning process I am willing to live through.” THE SCOOP -- Jesse Guerin has held a hot hand of late for Ajax- Pickering, netting five points against Brampton last Thurs- day and equalling that total one night later against Six Nations. He leads the team with 4-15-19 totals. Also in double digits through five games are Jason Mainer at 6-8-14 and Jonas Derks at 3-8-11. Josh Sanderson of Brampton leads the league scoring race with 19-30-49 numbers in nine games. Guerin’s totals leave him tied for 11th . U11 team wins tournament in Amherst, New York AJAX -- The U11 Dynamite girls from the Ajax Soccer Club trav- eled south across the border for the first time, competing at the Amherst International Memorial soccer tournament in Amherst, New York. The Ajax team did not know what to expect, as it has never faced American counterparts. What the girls found when they arrived were bigger fields, big- ger nets and bigger players. Some of the US teams were also older than the Canadian team. There were eight teams in the U11 age group with all other teams being from the states of New York and Pennsylvania. The tournament was two-tiered with the Dynamite playing in the top tier. The Dynamite started the tournament off against Amherst Red Storm. From the start of the whistle, the Dynamite girls gave it their all and at the end of the game it was 11-0 for the Canadi- an team. The second game saw the Dynamite matched with the North United Hurricanes from Pennsylvania. The Pennsylva- nia girls were not as skilled as the Dynamite team, however, they were bigger and faster and the Dynamite girls had a hard time getting past the Hurricane defence. With the game tied 0- 0 at half, the North United team was finally able to gain some possession and within 15 min- utes into the second half, the Dynamite girls were down 2- 0. The Dynamite team rallied, but was only able to score on one effort. With the game end- ing 2-1, the Dynamite hopes of a championship was minimized. With the sun beating down on an early Sunday morning, the Dynamite girls finished their third game 3-0 over Spencerport Tornados from New York. The win put them into the finals for a rematch with North United Hur- ricane. The Dynamite girls controlled the majority of the game but were continuously stopped by a heroic Hurricane goalie. With three minutes left in the game, the Dynamite team capitalized on a great team effort. The tides were turned and the Dynamite held off for the 1-0 win over the Pennsylvania girls. With their first American title, the Ajax Dynamite U11 girls were crowned AIM 2010 U11 champions. SUBMITTED PHOTO AJAX -- The Ajax U11 Dynamite won a tournament in Amherst, New York. Team members include, front row, from left: goalies Alexis Ferreira and Julia Snow; middle row, Nicole White, Caitlin O’Brien, Alexis Kirton, Sinead Kappel; back row, Parys Kerr, Milan Danford, Lindsay Albani, Courtney Correia, Nicole Dodge, Kristien Lindo and Jaelin Hoo-Hing.
