Pickering taxi rates could rise ONLY FAIR TO ADD HST TO FARES: CITY CAB DRIVERS KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering’s taxi fares could go up if drivers get their way. Around 20 drivers and owners attended the lat- est council meeting demanding Pickering con- sider raising taxi meter fares to help offset the harmonized sales tax. On June 14, the City’s executive committee denied the taxicab industry’s request to increase cab fares in Pickering and the item came back to council June 21 for final approval, where council decided to give it another look. Durham Rapid Taxi driver and cab owner Glen Campbell, representing 39 drivers, argued if Ontarians are paying HST on most services, taxis should not be exempt. “When I first heard of the HST, I thought it would be added, no question,” he told council. But that wasn’t the case. Municipalities have been deciding whether the rates will rise. Ajax and Oshawa have both added the HST to the meter. The HST came into effect July 1, and Pickering’s taxi industry will have to dish out 13 per cent of its fares, rather than the five per cent -- the goods and services tax -- it’s used to, if the new tax isn’t See PICKERING page 3 facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham Wednesday, July 7, 2010 PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURN INCOME TAX All-Canadian Tax Service $59.95*only * Most returns *GST extra 100 Westney Rd S (Ajax Go Station) (905) 426-4860 Ajax Nissan Parts/Service Open 7:00am - 6:00pm Wednesdays 7:00am - 8:00pm Saturdays 8:00am - 2:00pm 500 Bayly Street West, Ajax (Between Westney & Church) 1-800-565-6365 905-686-0555 2 Canada Day party Ajax, Pickering citizens join in the festivities FEATURE 10 Accessibility How Durham businesses are coping with new law SPORTS 14 Phil fulfills a dream Ajacian drafted by Blue Jays durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 20102 AP ‘It’s a lot of fun, the cost is right’: Ajax resident REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- Canada Day par- ties were a big hit in Ajax and Pickering with thousands showing up for the fun. Festivities in Ajax were held at Rotary Park on Lake Driveway along the water- front and Pickering celebrated at Kins- men Park at the foot of Sandy Beach Road. “It’s a lot of fun, the cost is right,” said Ajax resident Paul Went of the free event at Rotary Park. Mr. Went brought his family, including his two young children, and said he likes sharing his sense of national pride with others. Jean Finch , originally from the UK, said she received her citi- zenship at the pavilion in Rota- ry Park a few years ago. She also attended the event with her family. “We’ve got a humongous flag outside our house on Gregory (Road),” she said. This was the second time Sirak Sahle brought his family to the event. Last year, the Toronto residents came to Ajax because events in the city were cancelled by the garbage strike. “This year we came by choice. We found it to be quieter, less con- gested, friend- lier,” he said of the Ajax event com- pared to Toronto. The family brought their dog Romeo as well, and eight-year-old Sarah-Elizabeth Sahle said her favourite part was meeting all the dogs down at the Ajax waterfront. Fourteen-year-old Kai- tlyn Heard and 15-year- old Holly Makarchuk donned tuques and said they were dressed as Doug and Bob McKen- zie. “We have lots of spirit,” said Holly. As to their favourite part? The inflatable beaver used in the Vancouver Olympics closing ceremonies. “I like the beaver. It’s big and fun and it’s our national animal,” said Kaitlyn. Kids listed various activities as their favourite, including the inflat- able rides, the petting zoo and meet- ing snakes and other reptiles. Many also lined up to check out the Ajax fire department’s trucks. “We’re just out here talking to the public, hand- ing out colouring books and showing the kids the trucks,” said acting captain Don Carrera. Firefighters passed out about 500 colouring books and also passed on a message on emergency preparedness to parents. Pickering firefighters were sim- ilarly engaged at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. They also took the oppor- tunity to pass on fire safety messages. “Canada Day’s great for us, it’s our best event,” said deputy chief Gord Ferguson. “We reach the most peo- ple and we have a captive audience.” “We come every year, the kids get so excited,” said Pickering resident Cathy Olesen-Janes. “And because we love Canada,” piped up eight-year-old Makayla Janes. Nine-year-old Liam Xerri said he liked the rides at the Pickering event, especially the jumping ones. “I like it because it’s really fun and I like celebrating birthdays and Canada’s a really good country,” said Liam. The Pickering Italian Senior Association participated in Pickering’s Canada Day celebrations for the first time this year. “We offer free cookies, homemade, and iced tea and people really enjoyed it,” said Corradina Paglilunga. Club members sported the Italian colours with little Canadi- an flags tucked into their hats. “We want to celebrate, doesn’t matter where we come from, we’re Canadian,” said associa- tion president Salvatore Gennaro. Canada Day celebrations in Pickering closed with fireworks and a performance by April Wine.

Representatives from Blue Line Taxi and some from Durham Rapid Taxi felt an eight- per cent increase would be appropriate, according to the staff report. They also noted in their comments to staff that a fare increase could decrease business. Staff felt the taxi companies have received more than enough compensation in the past. In 2008, for example, cab fares rose due to fuel increases and were not reduced when the price of gas fell back down. Mr. Campbell argued the industry won’t see a raise for three to five years as it is, and said the drivers have already been hurt because of an incident last year where illegal taxis were on the road, taking busi- ness. Eight illegal taxis were yanked as a result, but four are now getting per- mits to drive the cabs legally, Mr. Campbell said. That will make a total of 78 taxis on Pickering’s roads. “Pickering has already put too many plates out, and secondly there hasn’t been a lot of business here in the first place,” said Mr. Campbell. “We feel if the HST does not get added to the meter we’ll be pay- ing it out of our own pocket,” he said. Eight per cent of driv- ers’ annual income will now go to the govern- ment, he said. “We are going to have to work 30 days ... just to pay the government what they want,” he said. At the executive committee meeting, Kim Thompson, manager of bylaw services, said it would be unfair to the people who rely on taxis to increase the fare. The report noted the main users of taxis in Pickering are those on fixed incomes. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said it’s unfortunate the taxi industry has to suffer from something it didn’t implement. He pointed to the report that said many drivers are not submitting their GST as it is now, and noted it could get even worse in all industries. “My fear with the HST is a lot of underground economies are going to start,” he said. Mr. Campbell said he always submits his GST and isn’t happy with paying an extra eight per cent. He said it’s the Province’s job to add HST anyway, “not the bylaw office,” and he’s contacted Premier Dalton McGuinty’s office to alert him of the situation. Councillors sent the issue back to staff for more information before they make a final decision.

Notices of further extended hours will be posted on the City of Pickering website and on Face- book at Pickering Fit. The City is suggesting Pickering residents call or visit family, friends, neighbours and isolated adults and seniors at greater risk of suffering from heat-related illness to make sure they’re OK. Other people at risk include those with chronic and pre-existing illness- es, infants and young children, people on certain medications and those who are marginally housed or homeless. Those who feel ill, faint or have difficul- ty breathing or feel disoriented should visit their doctor or, in an emergency, call 911.

Several times in the past few weeks, Durham police have found plots of pot growing on lands owned by Transport Cana- da in the north end of the city. In all, 417 marijuana plants, in various stages of growth, have been discovered. It all started June 21, when a fed- eral airport land security officer on routine patrol near Sideline 20 and Hwy. 7 found tracks leading into a forested area. He followed the tracks through a cornfield to a nearby creek, where dozens of pot plants were found. The secu- rity officer contacted police. Then, on June 23, the Durham police Air Support Unit was in the vicinity of Sideline 34 and Con- cession 8, and discovered about 100 marijuana plants. The same day, several more pot plants were found near Sideline 26 and Concession 7. On June 29, more plants were found growing near Sideline 26 and Concession 7. In all, police say the plants would have a value of almost $600,000. The investigation continues and police are appealing for informa- tion surrounding the identity of those responsible for cultivation of the marijuana plants.

Education ADVERTISING FEATURE School’s out, it’s the ﬁ rst week of summer! What are kids going to do for nine weeks? For most families, summer is far from the idyllic summer image of long lazy days spent lounging poolside for days on end. Children’s summer schedules ﬁ ll up with day and sleep-away camps, lessons and team sports, activities, and groups. But regardless of how busy your child’s schedule is, be sure to make time for learning this summer! Studies have shown that children who maintain their learning momentum over the summer months are more geared up for learning in the fall than students who don’t engage in any sort of formal learning. Train the Brain this Summer… Just like a piano player who doesn’t prac- tice before a recital or a marathon runner who doesn’t train before a race, students who don’t keep up some measure of learning dur- ing the summer don’t perform as well when they head back to school in the fall. Because learning is cumulative, students who didn’t engage in academic training during the sum- mer have to spend extra time catching up by reviewing lessons from last year, as opposed to hitting the new grade in stride and mov- ing ahead with the class. Research in the field of summer learning loss shows that during the summer months, students who don’t engage in some form of educational activity can drop the grade equivalency of two months of learning. Stu- dents who maintain their learning momen- tum during the summer are better prepared for academic success in the fall. …It’s Easy with Oxford Learning! Luckily, keeping the brain fit this summer is not as hard as it sounds. Great programs, flexible scheduling and extended summer hours mean that, in just a few hours a week, students can catch up or reach ahead and maintain their learning momentum over the long summer break. They can head back to school in the fall ready to learn! Here are just some of the ways that Oxford Learning can help this summer: • Individualized Programs to catch up or enrich • Math Skills and Problem Solving • Reading Comprehension development • Writing and Grammar skills • French Reading, Writing & Communi- cation • Study and Organization skills • Little Readers - Ages 3-6 • Beyond Tutoring - Grades 1-8 • High School Advantage - Grades 9-12 • Summer Brain Camps - Grades 1-6 Visit www.oxfordlearning.com or call Oxford today in Pickering 905-420-3141 or Ajax 905-683-6660 to see how easy it can be this summer to help your children catch up or reach ahead and be prepared to achieve their full potential in school next year.

Man arrested after crash in Ajax, coroner’s jury hears BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A cocaine overdose led to the death of a man who was taken into custody by Durham police fol- lowing a car crash in Ajax more than two years ago, a cor- oner’s jury has been told. Salvatore Ruscica, 47, suffered a series of seizures while in custody and lost vital signs while being rushed to hos- pital on Nov. 10, 2007, jurors heard Monday morning in Oshawa. Mr. Ruscica, who had earlier crashed his SUV into a Jeep parked in the driveway of a residence, was pronounced dead at Ajax-Pickering hospital. Forensic pathologist Nihad Ali-Ridha, the first witness to testify at the inquest, said Mr. Ruscica had a number of superficial bruises and abrasions attributable to being in an accident and going into seizures, but none were seri- ous enough to cause his death. “I concluded that cocaine toxicity caused his death,” Dr. Ali-Ridha said. During an autopsy, a plastic bag of cocaine was discov- ered in Mr. Ruscica’s rectum, Dr. Ali-Ridha said. Cocaine leaking from the concealed bag likely entered the dead man’s bloodstream, he said. It’s also likely Mr. Ruscica’s seizures were caused by excessive cocaine levels, Dr. Ali- Ridha testified. Those opinions were echoed by forensic toxicolo- gist Patricia Solbeck, who said tests indicated extremely high levels of cocaine in Mr. Ruscica’s system. The man’s symptoms were more indicative of a sudden overdose than a protracted binge of drug use, she said. “It’s possible if the bag (inside Mr. Ruscica’s body) leaked, there would be a large amount of cocaine absorbed into the body in a short time,” Ms. Solbeck said. Coroner’s counsel Fred Stephens told jurors Mr. Rus- cica was found near the scene of a crash in Ajax by Dur- ham police officers. When officers learned Mr. Ruscica had been involved in a similar incident a few days earlier and was breaching the conditions of his release, he was taken into custody. He was also charged with drug pos- session, Mr. Stephens said. Mr. Ruscica was being held in an interview room at the Pickering police station when he began having seizures, Mr. Stephens said. Durham Region paramedics admin- istered anti-seizure drugs and took an “agitated and combative” Mr. Ruscica to hospital, but he lost vital signs on the way and was pronounced dead at hospital. Prior to the seizures, Mr. Ruscica was cooperative with police, jurors heard. Inquests are mandatory for in-custody deaths. The jury is tasked with examining circumstances surrounding the death and, if appropriate, making recommendations to avoid similar fatalities. The process does not include assigning criminal responsibility. Lawyers representing Durham police officers and paramedics are participating in the inquest. The inquest, presided over by Dr. William Lucas, continues. INQUEST Cocaine overdose killed man in Durham police custody NEWS ADVERTISER 905 683 5110 & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

It was a very sad day indeed when a dog was killed on Fairport Road. I live not far from there and have seen the poster with a picture of the dog. However, blaming the driver of the car makes no sense to me. Many times I see people walking their dogs off leash. My own dog has been attacked twice by loose dogs. It would be wonder- ful if every dog owner would abide by the leash laws in Pickering. One woman to whom I mentioned the leash bylaw replied, “Oh, they only give a warning.” Perhaps the bylaw officers should be out scouting for off-leash dogs and giving the fines that are deserved. Bev Davio Pickering LAW ENFORCEMENT Durham police did a great job at G20 protests To the editor: I would like to extend a personal thank you to all of Durham’s police officers who protected Toronto at the G20 Summit. Amidst such hostile and volatile cir- cumstances you and the officers of Cana- da and the United States showed honour- able restraint and should be commended for your actions in keeping the streets of Toronto safe from the villains who came out to vandalize and destroy such a fine city. Durham officers spent countless hours on the streets protecting Toronto and the citizens who reside there with no breaks, and little food and water rations during the G20/G8. Many spent up to 15 hours or more with nothing to drink or eat during the stand-offs. They were also chastised for not protecting Toronto enough and then for protecting too much by the television media covering the events. This was dis- heartening to many families at home who had their loved ones on those streets and who watched the violent acts that took place. I am glad that you are all home safe and hope that you know that at least one family here in Durham thinks that you are awe- some for all that you did during the sum- mit and every day. Paulene Hinds Newcastle WASTE Incinerator won’t eliminate truck traffic To the editor, As a resident of Courtice, the proposed home of the much-maligned Incinerator, I just have to respond to Incinerator foes fighting a lost cause from your June 30 edi- tion. With regard to a comment of Mr. Filbey- Haywood of Pickering, the proposed incin- erator will not eliminate the ‘need to send our refuse down the highway in huge, pol- luting diesel semi-trailers.’ Said trucks will just be travelling in the opposite direction to Courtice and polluting our air in Clar- ington! I, too, am a true believer in ‘reuse and recycle’, but would also add ‘reduce’ to the list. Less garbage manufactured equals less garbage to dispose. Until there is no garbage, we have to decide which method of disposal is the lesser of the two evils. Dorothy Ansell Courtice PANAMA CONTROVERSY Don’t punish students for ‘errors of a previous administration’ To the editor: Re: ‘Durham College’s board of governors deserves scorn’, letter to the editor, June 25. Two points: 1. There have been changes to both the board of governors and the senior admin- istration at Durham College since the Pan- ama situation, with the result that, this year, the current administration has clear- ly improved the financial situation as evi- denced by a financial surplus. 2. It is both backward-thinking and lack- ing in vision to suggest penalizing today’s and tomorrow’s Durham College students by withholding donations to the Whitby campus because of the now-corrected errors of a previous administration. Professor Rick Kerr School of Interdisciplinary Studies and Employment Services Durham College, Oshawa The heat is on in Durham Region this week. Special heat alerts have been issued, a smog advisory is in effect and humidex readings are off the chart. It all adds up to a week of stifling tem- peratures, reduced air quality and sticky humidity. And while bright sunshine and hot tem- peratures draw residents from Pickering to Newcastle to local parks, beaches and out- doors, it’s a good idea to reduce exposure to sun. Before you head outdoors, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen on, keep plenty of fresh water nearby and dress appropri- ately for the activity you plan to pursue. And once you’ve enjoyed your time in the sun, take a breather in the air-conditioned confines of municipal buildings, shopping malls or local libraries. And while the majority of us can enjoy a day in the sun -- having taken the prop- er preparations -- there are others in the community who are particularly vulner- able at this time of year. Please make sure to check on elderly relatives or neighbours to see how they are faring and make sure they are safe and comfortable. Other resi- dents in Durham, regardless of age, suffer from chronic illnesses that are made worse by heat and humidity. They, too, might need some remedy to beat the heat. Some- one you know could benefit from a timely call or knock on the door to ensure they are coping. Finally, a timely reminder never to lock children or pets in a car, even “for a min- ute” when you’re running errands or out and about in your community. Tempera- tures soar quickly and can lead to tragedy. Summer in Durham Region offers the best of the waterfront, local parks and attractions. We seek the warmth of the sun and the freedom of the summer months to make up for our often long, cold winters. By taking the necessary precautions and using a good measure of common sense, we can avoid the negative effects of extreme heat and enjoy all of the sunny days of summer. Stock up on sunscreen. Check on a friend or neighbour. Wear appropriate clothing and drink plenty of water. If it’s still too hot for you to handle, get to a cooling centre in your community and, using the parlance of youth today, chill for a bit. Chill out when it gets too hot to handle summer weather 7 P What’s on your ‘bucket list’?

I love weddings. And it’s been ages since I’ve been to one, which was one of the rea- sons I was so excited about attending my nephew’s nuptials this past weekend. Ostensibly weddings are about the join- ing of two people in holy matrimony. And while that is an undeniably important part of the proceedings, weddings are also vast- ly important rituals for a number of other reasons. For starters, I don’t know of any married person, outside of perhaps Frank Sina- tra or maybe Henry VIII, who can watch a couple take their vows and not private- ly meditate on his or her own union. Dur- ing the ceremony, I found myself looking over at my own bride of 24 years and smil- ing gratefully, pondering all that we had shared and wondering where that time had gone so quickly. I’m fairly certain my wife was doing the same thing...only, for some reason, her smile seemed more like a grimace. But weddings make you take stock. And that’s always a good thing. Provided, of course, that when we stop to count, we’re counting blessings. Weddings draw families together too. Clans gather, generation upon genera- tion, branch upon branch and we have the opportunity to catch up and visit with our ‘people’. Children get to see where they come from, who they belong to, what they are a part of. They begin to understand that they are a vital piece of a much larger mosaic. That’s important. People don’t tend to drift when they know they have something to anchor themselves to. Finally and most signifi- cantly, weddings, and more specifically, wedding receptions, are times when we are afforded precious moments to real- ly speak to one another. To give voice to those things, those emotions and senti- ments, that are, on a daily basis, largely unspoken, but which need to be said from time to time. Be it the drunken best friends, slobbery ‘I love you, man’ or the sober, heartfelt ‘thank you’ of a suddenly grown-up groom or bride to a beaming, blissfully validat- ed parent, it’s all good. Occasionally we need to publicly declare our love, respect, admiration and gratitude for those who have played prominent roles in our lives. A daunting task for most of us. Hopefully we can do it and still leave the audience with a pulse. Still, I sat and listened, transfixed, to speaker after speaker, each in his or her own, sometimes polished, sometimes halt- ing, always endearing way, iterate over and over again, stories of friendship, shared memories, sacrifice, hopes and dreams. All the things that matter. And again, I found myself taking stock and counting bless- ings. Maybe that’s why weddings feel so good. Because we find ourselves pondering all of the many good things in this life. At a wedding we are surrounded by them. All of those treasures that make living worth- while. People, love, music, dancing...cake. Later in the evening, I sat out on the patio and enjoyed a cigar in the sweetly humid night air, watching the bride and groom inside, surrounded by goofy, drink- spilling, merrymakers on the dance floor. It occurred to me that I more than simply ‘enjoyed’ this wedding. I think I needed this wedding. It recon- nected me to my reasons for being here. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Weddings help you take stock, count blessings NEIL CRONE Driving throughout the com- munity I see things that catch my eye, things that I think others may be interested in seeing or reading about. This is an example of such a situa- tion. I saw a television out for trash pickup and, apparent- ly, so did these two students from a local school. They saw another use for the discarded item and proceeded to drag, push and roll the heavy tele- vision back to their school. It was to become a prop for a video their class was working on. Their ingenuity and per- sistence caught my eye. Plus, it was obvious they were hav- ing fun rescuing the appli- ance. CELIA KLEMENZ/ BEHIND THE LENS MIKE JOHNSTON Open speed debating to all the candidates A unique event will be held in Oshawa July 13 in which municipal election can- didates will have the opportunity to meet with voters in a fast-paced event modelled after speed dating. Speed debating is the latest offering from Positive Discussions, which on its web- site describes itself as a grassroots effort to increase voter turnout and community awareness. Unfortunately, unless you attend, you will not read about the event in the pages of this newspaper. It’s too bad, because it sounds like a great way to meet the politicians who want to represent you on Oshawa council. The problem for us is that the event is open only to new municipal election can- didates. This is the third event for Positive Discussions, and the third one we have stayed away from. Our point has always been, if you are holding an event for municipal election candidates, it should be open to all, new ones and the incumbents. Positive Discussions has countered that incumbents get press on a regular basis and shouldn’t be allowed to attend their events. That isn’t the case. Many voters do not know who their local or regional council- lors are and we are certainly not a paper which espouses their philosophies on a regular basis, as some claim we do. A quick look at the recent report cards or any num- ber of stories we have done in the past two years will show we are not the mouthpiece for Oshawa Mayor John Gray or any mem- ber of council. But still, we believe incumbents and new candidates should be treated equally when it comes to debates or any other election event. I hope Positive Discussions stays true to its mandate and opens its events to all candidates. Until it does, all you will read about it in our pages are small briefs announcing events are taking place. I hope other groups look to hold speed debating in their municipalities. It sounds like a great way to get answers and opening it up to everyone is the fair thing to do. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom. Dismissal comes after conviction for impaired driving KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A deputy fire chief with the Pickering Fire Department was let go by the City after being convicted of an impaired driving charge. Simon Almond was convicted in provincial court in Barrie on June 29 of driving while exceeding a blood alcohol level of 80 milli- grams. Tony Prevedel, chief administrative offi- cer for Pickering, said, “Effective yesterday (Monday), he’s no longer with the City. I can’t say much more because it’s a person- nel matter. His employment finished yester- day.” Mr. Prevedel said he met with Mr. Almond on Monday and then with council. City staff was notified of the decision on Tuesday. “These decisions are never easy, but it was the best for both parties,” Mr. Prevedel added. Mr. Almond had been a deputy chief with Pickering for about three years. Prior to that, he had been with the Uxbridge Fire Depart- ment, serving as fire chief. “It was OK,” is how Mr. Prevedel said Mr. Almond took the news. “These situations are never easy. We had a heart-to-heart talk and the decision is best for both parties.” Mr. Almond was charged with driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in his sys- tem by the Ontario Provincial Police in Oril- lia on June 27, 2009. Court officials in Orillia said Mr. Almond had his licence suspended for 12 months and was fined $1,200, plus an additional $180 for the victim surcharge tax. He also faces a charge under the Provin- cial Offences Act of having open liquor in his vehicle. That will be dealt with on July 13 in Orillia. Mr. Prevedel said the position of deputy fire chief will be filled. “As of today (Tuesday), we’ll start the pro- cess and post the vacancy. It will be both internal and external,” he added. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 20108 P before and 8 sizes* Kim lost 36 pounds Results guaranteed!

But that didn’t stop the co-owner of Chat- terpaul’s in Whitby from joining dozens of local merchants at a presentation June 17, held to spread the word about important new customer service standards passed into law under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The issue of barrier-free accessibility for everyone lies close to Ms. Johansen’s heart, as her son and “number one customer,” Ryan, is a paraplegic. “Until you really are close to somebody with special needs, I think most of us are totally oblivious to what kinds of obstructions are out there,” said Ms. Johansen, who specifical- ly chose to open her business at 3500 Brock St. N. two years ago due to the site’s wheel- chair-accessible design. “Even a couple of steps to get somewhere or narrow doorways or a busy entry foyer could impede someone’s pleasure.” All public sector organizations across the province were required to comply with the new standards by January of this year. Private businesses, including non-profits, have until January 2012 to follow suit, paving the way to 100 per cent accessibility in all buildings for people of all abilities. Business owners present at the event, held prior to the first-ever Accessibility Expo at Durham College/UOIT in Oshawa, received expert advice on where they can start. One way to break down barriers is to adopt a proactive, “if you build it, they will come” approach, says Sarah White of Accessibility Experts Ltd., an Oshawa- based training and consulting firm. “You have to make a statement and com- mitment to addressing the needs of people with disabilities,” she said, touching on top- ics such as adequate staff training, alternate methods of communication with customers and accommodations for service animals. “It’s about how we interact with people with various disabilities, it’s about acknowledg- ing someone (and) it’s about treating people with dignity and respect.” The day-long Expo was launched by the Regional and local municipal accessibility advisory committees and featured a mar- ketplace of about 100 exhibitors showcasing information and services. While most business owners embrace the idea of a fully inclusive society, the financial implications can prove to be challenging for some. “Costs are always an issue for us but it’s one you just have to find ways around,” said Karen Ormerod, executive director of Durham Hos- pice, a volunteer-driven organization that provides palliative and bereavement services to individuals and families facing life-threat- ening illnesses. “I will go and look for a grant or go to a funder and ask for sponsorship to cover this if needed, because it’s an important thing to do.” As a little person, Susan Berzins said that while making design changes is a step in the right direction, it’s how people tend to look down on those with disabilities and attitude barriers that still stand in the way. “I can’t reach bank machines and espe- cially in older buildings, it’s hard to go into certain places if there are stairs, so usually it depends on who is around to help out and I’ve found that it’s getting a lot better,” said Ms. Berzins, a member of the Whitby Acces- sibility Advisory Committee. “Years ago you’d go into a place and they wouldn’t care if you got in or not but now they at least try to accommodate you.” The event also included a special appear- ance by Lieutenant Governor of Ontario David Onley, who commended everyone involved for their efforts in making a differ- ence. “Durham in so many important ways has been leading by example for the rest of the province in a whole range of aspects in terms of accessibility. “I take the time to tell people about that and recommend, quite frankly on various occasions, that they simply learn more about what Durham is doing.” For more information: CALL 1-800-372-1102 ext. 2103 EMAIL accessibility@durham.ca VISIT www.durham.ca WATCH the video story READ the rest of the series @ durhamregion.com AN UPHILL CLIMB Durham businesses open the door to improved accessibility for everyone FAST FACTS What can small business do now? • Plan for the customer service standard and com- pliance documentation, training and reporting • Develop a process to meet the requirements of the other standards as they emerge • Build on best practices and share information and resources • Expand expertise on accessibility within your organization JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Gary Johnson, left, spoke with accessibility advisory committee member Jim Lawrie during an Accessibilty Expo recently at the Recreation and Wellness Centre at UOIT.

Restaurants are places that make us smile, whether it is at the end of a full day, at the start of the new day, or simply a break in the day to enjoy a good meal with friends. In fact, it is quite pleasant to eat at a restau- rant where the atmosphere is cordial and serene and where you can forget everyday problems. You are treated like royalty and there is nothing for you to clean up... what a treat! Brieﬂ y, restaurants add a bit of spice to everyday life and are still the perfect place to enjoy those special evenings. Choose a restaurant with a romantic atmosphere to celebrate a ﬁ rst anni- versary, or choose one that offers exotic dishes for friends with more reﬁ ned tastes to celebrate someone’s return. As well, res- taurants are particularly attentive when celebrating any other special events such as Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, anniver- saries, and other celebrations (cakes, birthday songs, etc.). Restaurant outings are easy to plan and are ideal for good con- versation and connecting with friends. The pleasure of sharing a meal at a restaurant is accessible to everyone and to all bud- gets. In addition, many establishments now offer the option of reserving private rooms for business meetings or social gather- ings. You can enjoy all the privacy you want without sacriﬁ cing the excellent service we associate with a restaurant meal. What could be better? Restaurants Make Us Happy!

The Pickering resident was the gold medal winner at the most recent Cana- dian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) event on June 20 for the 8 and under boys category. Pestell shot a 41 (5 over) for his 9-hole tournament at the Deer Run Golf Course in Little Britain. The win was his first CJGA title of the year after finishing as the runner-up three times in previous events. Finishing behind Pestell in second place, shooting a 47, was Luke Bigelow of Sharon, and rounding out the podium, shooting a 49 was Richmond Hill’s Kavith Ranchago- da. BASKETBALL Pickering’s Peters chipping in for Canadian U17 team HAMBURG, GERMANY -- Cana- da has locked up a playoff berth at FIBA U17 world championship, and Whitby’s Dyshawn Pierre is a big reason why. After opening with a 69-68 loss to host Germany, the Canadians have reeled off three straight wins to ensure a spot in the quarterfinals of the cadet basketball tournament. The most impressive victory came on Monday, when Canada outscored No. 2-ranked Spain 25-17 in the fourth quarter to take the game 79-72. Along with wins of 76-68 over Aus- tralia Saturday and 95-74 over Korea Tuesday, Canada is 3-1 heading into a Wednesday clash with 4-0 Poland. Pierre, a six-foot-six guard and stu- dent at Anderson Collegiate, is averag- ing 11.8 points per game, second best among Canadians, and a team-leading 6.5 rebounds. Pickering’s Richard Peters has con- tributed 3.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per match. Playoffs begin Friday and run through to Sunday’s championship game.

MLB DRAFT Diedrick reaching for his dreams Ajax player drafted by Toronto Blue Jays SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Philip Diedrick has always dreamed of being a Toronto Blue Jay and now the Ajax resident is one step closer to realizing that dream. After a long and agonizing wait, Diedrick, an outfielder out of Pickering High School, was selected by the Blue Jays in the 45th round of the 2010 first year player draft that was held in June. “I was very happy,” Diedrick recalled of the feeling he had following the conclusion of the three-day draft. “I was getting a little ner- vous wondering if it was going to work out or if it wasn’t. I was so excited when I heard my named called. I actually watched it on MLB. com. It was a relief. “I was kind of in disbelief and then my coach called (to congratulate) me. It felt real then,” he added. While he understands the likelihood of being signed by the club at this point is remote, Diedrick wasn’t about to let that take away from his excitement of being a hometown boy drafted by his de facto hometown team. “You always hear about the hometown kids getting drafted and experience the joy of it being their hometown team,” Diedrick said in a recent interview. “When that team picks you it feels great. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Blue Jays and going to the games. It’s fun to know that maybe one day I could be the one that kids look up to.” First things first, though, for Diedrick as he headed out this past weekend with the Cana- dian National Junior Team for its annual sum- mer tour. Diedrick, a 6-foot-1 power-hitting outfielder, is one of 11 drafted players to make the roster of 25 and one of four from Dur- ham Region. He will be joined by Pickering’s Brian Smith, Whitby’s Evan Grills, who were both drafted as well, by the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros, respectively, and Uxbridge’s Chris Robinson. The JNT will convene in Toronto for some brief training sessions before beginning the first leg of their tour in Laconia, New Hamp- shire against the Laconia Muscrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. The JNT will then meet four other clubs from the NECBL. Following that they head to St.Paul, Min- nesota where they will face Team USA twice as well as the Twin City High School All-Stars and then finish up with matches against Team USA, in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Taiwan. At the end of the tour, the Junior National Team will reduce its roster to 20 players for the World Junior Baseball Championship, which is being held in Thunder Bay. A good showing by Diedrick with Canada may kickstart talks to sign with the Blue Jays. However, should nothing materialize, he will head south and attend Bossier Parish Com- munity College in Louisiana on full scholar- ship. A couple good years there and Diedrick expects his draft stock would improve and his road to professional ball will be all the more clearer. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax resident Philip Diedrick was drafted in the 45th round by the Toronto Blue Jays. The 17-year-old outfielder plays for the Ontario Blue Jays and the Canadian junior national team.

Toshakovski, or Tosh as he was more commonly known in hockey circles, died Sun- day after a long battle with cancer. Current Fury owner Scott McCrory, a close friend of Tosh’s who bought the busi- nessman’s shares of the club earlier this year, couldn’t say enough about the Pickering resident. “Peter will be greatly missed by us simply because of his dedication, desire and passion to help the kids and anyone associated with our sport,” McCrory wrote in an e-mail to This Week. “We have some big shoes to fill but we will try our best to fill them, but will never really be able to fill them.” McCrory recalled sto- ries of Tosh going out of his way to make sure play- ers on the Fury had every- thing they needed. When Tosh and others bought the old Oshawa Legionaires franchise, renamed them and moved to the Campus Ice Centre, he put the work clothes on and began paint- ing the dressing room and building stalls for the play- ers. And when the club made its move to Whitby, Tosh was one of the driving forces. “He once told me he was spending more time on the team in the week than his own businesses and he said he loved it more as he was getting satisfaction from helping the boys out,” McCrory said. This past season the Fury held a charity game at Iro- quois Park in support of Tosh and cancer research. McCrory said that game will become an annual event. Former Fury general man- ager John Annis echoed McCrory’s thoughts, noting the local hockey community has lost a great member. “He’s a good friend and I am going to miss him,” Annis said Tuesday morning. “We had a lot of laughs off the ice too. Pete was a great guy and did a lot of things for a lot of people. And a lot of the stuff he did, nobody even knew about. That’s the type of guy he was.” Visitation was held Tues- day night with another scheduled for Wednes- day, 4-8 p.m. at McEach- nie Funeral Home in Ajax. Funeral service will be held Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in the chapel, followed by inter- ment at Pine Ridge Memo- rial Gardens. He is survived by his wife Jackie, children Amanda, Cameron, Michael and Christopher, mother Verka and brothers Danny and Sam. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 201016 AP Career Training General Help $15.00/HR PLUS BONUSES Part-time evenings & week- ends.
