He has been a member of the board since 2001. Community focus for new chairman JANET ECKER ENDS TWO-YEAR TERM AT AJAX-PICKERING KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- After years of serving on the hospital board, Jay Kaufman has taken the top seat. The former deputy minister of Ontario finance has been named chairman of the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS) board of directors. For- mer chairwoman Janet Ecker’s term has ended, but she’ll remain on the board. “Janet’s been a tremendous chair for the orga- nization,” Mr. Kaufman said in an interview. “She’s helped us move forward under her watch, not just in terms of our deficit reduction plan, but a real focus on quality.” As for his appointment, Mr. Kaufman “was delighted.” But the decision to take on the role wasn’t a simple one. “It’s something that you have to con- sider carefully because as chair, you’re making a significant commitment in terms of your time and the leadership you’re going to provide your colleagues, and the working relationship with the management team and leadership at the hospi- tal,” he said.

Summer Sidewalk Sale Thursday, July 15th - Sunday, July 18th Liberal leader Ignatieff says Conservatives have ‘washed their hands’ of nuclear industry JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff brought his cross-Canada tour to Ajax Thursday, inviting business leaders into the “big red tent at the centre of Canadian life.” The Liberal Express left Ottawa earlier this week on a tour designed to have the Opposition leader meet Canadians in anticipation of a possible fed- eral election. He made two stops in Ajax, includ- ing a luncheon held by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade. There, he tackled an array of business issues, including the proposed Pickering airport and nucle- ar energy, in answer to questions from members of the audience. The airport was the first issue raised, with board of trade president Jason Cameron asking if Mr. Ignati- eff would do anything to ensure release of the needs assessment completed by the Greater Toronto Air- port Authority and currently in the hands of the fed- eral government. Thousands of acres in north Pickering were expropri- ated almost four decades ago for a future airport, but as yet, no decision on whether to pro- ceed has been announced. That limbo should end, and the com- munity should be consulted, Mr. Ignatieff said. While he said he does feel “emphatically” the report should be released, he’s not sure an airport should be built there. “My feeling as I listen to this . . . is that the busi- ness case for this airport has not been proved,” Mr. Ignatieff said. There is a need for community consultation on the issue, and should the airport idea be nixed, a dis- cussion needs to take place about what should hap- pen with the lands, he said. “There is enormous opportunity here,” he said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan brought up the uncer- tainty Durham finds itself dealing with in terms of the nuclear industry. In large part, the uncertainty stems from the com- bination of the planned mothballing of reactors in Pickering in the foreseeable future, and a delay on proceeding with new reactors in Clarington. Critics charge the latter has been hobbled by the federal government’s decision to restructure and possibly sell Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the Crown corporation that provided the only compli- ant bid to build new reactors next to the existing Darlington station. While there’s room to improve AECL, simply walking away from it is not acceptable, Mr. Ignatieff said. “The government has basically said, we’re washing our hands, we’re walking away,” from AECL, he said. “Walking away from this Canadian achievement seems to me a strategic mistake and there is no area of the country that feels this more strongly than this region.” Mr. Ignatieff also touched on the need to ensure proper training to fill jobs of the future, and said the federal govern- ment ought play a role in that, as should business, labour, educational institutions, and others. “We’ve got one job and that is to get Canada ready for the 21st century,” Mr. Ignatieff said. “If we start playing juris- dictional games, we won’t get it done.” The Liberal leader acknowledged he knew “not everybody in this room is a Liberal,” but made a pitch nonetheless. “Come on in to the big red tent at the centre of Canadian life,” he said. POLITICS Ajax-Pickering business leaders invited into ‘big red tent’ MICHAEL IGNATIEFF We’ve got one job and that is to get Canada ready for the 21st century. Federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff SURVIVING A HEART ATTACK. All-new cardiac initiative saving lives throughout Durham. A message from your local community hospital.The best at what we do. Every year, thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks because they don’t receive medical treatment soon enough. Rouge Valley and partnering hospitals and local emergency service providers have a new system-wide program in place to respond more rapidly when patients in the community suffer from a heart attack. Learn to recognize the signs so that you can make the call to save a life. KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS. A heart attack occurs when blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage in the coronary arteries. Here are the signs of a heart attack: Pain—A burning sensation, tight- ness or pressure in the chest, neck, jaw, shoulder, arms or back that doesn’t go away with rest. This pain may be more vague in women. Difficulty breathing. Nausea—Indigestion, vomiting. Sweating—Cool, clammy skin. CALL 911 RIGHT AWAY! If someone is experiencing these signs, call 911 immediately. When you make this call, the new regional Code STEMI program for responding to cardiac emergencies goes into action! Heart attack patients in Durham Region are fast-tracked to the catheterization lab at Rouge Valley Centenary, where an expert team works to restore blood flow to the heart. It’s critical to get to the hospital as soon as possible, because the longer the artery stays blocked the worse the damage will be. That’s why the priority for Rouge Valley and our partners is to ensure that patients get the treatment they need as quickly as possible.

Members of Rouge Valley’s Code STEMI team— for cardiac emergencies.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 16, 20104 P HOSPITAL BOARD New chairman ready for challenge at Ajax-Pickering Mr. Kaufman has held a num- ber of senior positions within the Ontario government, such as secretary to the treasury board and assistant deputy minister of health. He also had a career with the Manitoba government, where he was, among other positions, a deputy minister responsible for health reform in the province. “I got to a point in my career where I found it was time to focus back on my community,” he said. So he joined the Rouge Valley board in 2001 and was vice-chair- man for the past two. “Jay brings to this leadership role not only familiarity with RVHS due to his time on the board, but also a depth of experi- ence and knowledge of the health care system, which will be of great benefit to the board and the hos- pital,” Ms. Ecker said in a press release. Mr. Kaufman said Ontario hos- pitals have a number of challeng- es ahead, such as accommodat- ing the aging population, dealing with the shortage of doctors and other health care professionals, and increased service demands while working under strict finan- cial constraints. “The hospital business is an ongoing challenge,” he said. “The pressures and challenges simply increase.” The board will consider the challenges in its decision making, and will continue to engage and respect the Durham community, he said. “There’s a very rapidly expand- ing population in the area,” he said. Rouge Valley is currently put- ting together its strategic plan by collecting information from the community, staff and profession- als. The three-year plan should be complete by the end of this year. “We’ve got to make sure we are staying on track with our finan- cial situation, that we continue to invest in surpluses, improve ser- vice, continue to focus and make sure we’re getting value for tax- payer dollars,” he said. Although Rouge Valley was crit- icized in recent years for misman- agement before climbing out of a massive deficit, he feels things are looking up. “The organization is working together in a way it hasn’t before and I think we’re getting recog- nized for that,” he said. He said residents simply have to look at the Ajax-Pickering hospi- tal to see the improvements. “We’re starting to be able to reinvest in our hospital,” he said. Mr. Kaufman lives in west Rouge, Toronto, and is the presi- dent of KTA Inc., a consulting and research organization. The other returning board members are Bob Oldman, Joan Wideman and Tom Atkins.

All content copyright Women, minorities can Make a Difference in Durham Region As Durham Region’s population and communities evolve, so too should its political representation. Durham is home to people from around the world who bring with them different life experiences, contrasting viewpoints, cultural traditions and new perspectives. It no longer makes sense that municipal and regional government representatives are still made up primarily of white men in a region in which nearly 17 per cent of its population consists of members of var- ious visible minorities. Women, too, con- tinue to be under-represented on munici- pal councils, despite the impressive lead- ership and examples set by, for instance, Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, or Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins. Similarly, only two members of visible minority groups serve voters in two Dur- ham municipalities: Renrick Ashby in Ajax, and Willie Woo in Clarington. If voters -- and political candidates -- in Durham Region are intent on making a difference this Oct. 25 when ballots are cast municipally across the region, we strongly encourage a broader spectrum of residents to consider representing their communities, or to engage themselves in the process and send a strong message about participation, civic responsibil- ity and taking action. Municipal govern- ments that represent their communities with a wide spectrum of personalities, cultures, nationalities -- and yes, even gender -- can provide a broader scope of viewpoints. Greater consensus can be found in greater diversity. Different life experiences can lead to varied insight into municipal issues. And a greater, represen- tative mix of fresh ideas will lead to more equitable, inclusive decisions for com- munities in Durham Region. People like mayors Pearce and Perkins have made a difference in their com- munities, as have councillors Ashby and Woo. They bring individual skills to the council table, but are willing to compro- mise for the collective greater good. They represent their communities with distinc- tion and grace. Durham should be long past the patri- archal dominance of municipal politics. In a perfect world, the region’s municipal governments would have equal represen- tation from Caucasian males, women and members of visible minority groups. The municipal election being held in commu- nities across Durham Region on Oct. 25 provides a perfect opportunity for voters -- and candidates -- to truly make a dif- ference in governance over the next four years. Whether male or female, white, black, Asian, European or native, it’s up to you.

From weddings and vacations to proud bakers commemorating a perfect batch of chocolate chip cookies, we visually mark the minutia of our lives online. Frankly, I can’t be bothered to check out every photo my friends share, but this week two albums really caught my eye. The first was a totally awesome set of pics snapped by my friend Nikki at Lady Gaga’s Toronto gig. On a more serious note, Toronto police Facebooked photos of suspected G20 vandals they’re hoping to identify. Following the vandalism, Toronto police put out a call to the public asking for their photos and videos and it looks like many complied. The suspects are often shown from multiple angles and in many cases the pictures are perfectly in focus. One photo captures a man stealing a lap- top from a cop car, a little smirk on his face as he pulls it through a broken window; anoth- er shows a vandal taking a hammer to a store window. The majority of photos depict young men jumping on police cars. Below the photos, police have supplied their contact information and a handy link for anonymous tipsters to the Crime Stop- pers website. The photos have a drawn a smattering of comments, some deriding the vandals and some deriding the police. Still, I suspect some of them will end up being identified. Every- one has casual acquaintances who would have no qualms about firing off a quick tip. The Toronto police force as a whole has embraced social media. Not only do they post on Facebook, they’re also on YouTube and on Twitter (@TorontoPolice) with more than 6,000 followers. What’s particularly interesting about their approach is that it’s incredibly interactive. They could choose to lock down their Face- book wall, preventing others from comment- ing, but instead there’s thriving discussion among the public about the role of police, with critics often posting most frequently. Anti-police videos are posted on the wall and the ‘photos from others’ section includes a “Bill Bliar” poster with Toronto police chief Bill Blair sporting a Pinocchio-esque nose. The photos submitted by police aren’t just mug shots, but also include officers engaging in a torch run for the Special Olympics and photos of graduates at the Toronto Police College. All of it is open to public feedback. The Twitter page is also similarly inter- active. In addition to summarizing press releases, Constable Scott Mills answers ques- tions from the public and re-tweets messag- es, mainly those of encouragement, though sometimes critical ones as well. Locally, although Durham police have a YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/ durhampolice1) and they go online in the course of investigations, the force has yet to embrace social media from a communica- tions perspective. That’s likely because the police force can only hire so many officers a year and there’s always a more pressing need than an officer who tweets and Facebooks all day. But ultimately, Durham police will come to recognize that online community engagement is just as important as pounding the pavement on local streets. \ --Contact Ajax reporter Reka Szekely on Facebook, follow her on Twitter @rszekely or e-mail her at rszekely@durhamregion.com Toronto police officials turn to Facebook to solve crimes Reka Szekely durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 16, 20107 AP VIJAY BADHWAR, DMD Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

Police challenge EMS workers in Sirens for Life blood donor program KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- They see the need for blood almost every day and they’re rolling up their sleeves. Emergency services personnel in Durham Region are taking part in the seventh annu- al Sirens for Life blood donor initiative. The goal is to collect 1,300 units by Sept. 6, as well as signing up 100 new One Match Stem Cell and Marrow Network registrants. Firefighters, police and emergency medi- cal services employees, along with families and friends, are taking part in the drive. During a press conference at the Regional headquarters announcing the event, Police Chief Mike Ewles dropped the gauntlet to the EMS, saying, “Game on, brother. Game on.” Steve McNenly, deputy chief of the Dur- ham EMS, took up the challenge, saying in an interview, “Game on to you too, chief.” Summer is usually a slow time for blood donations, as many people are on holi- days. However, the need for blood doesn’t decrease, as more people are out and active during the summer. April Cullen, an Oshawa councillor and chairwoman of the Region’s health and social services committee, noted, “It’s quite a challenge. Everyone is on vacation and busy with their families. It’s a challenge to maintain the blood supply.” Deborah Hunte, who works with the Min- istry of the Attorney General, has sickle cell anemia and needs blood regularly. She spoke of the need to maintain the supply, saying, “I’m the fruit of your labour. “It’s definitely an amazing challenge. For recipients, we thank you for what you’re doing. Your job, day in and day out, you see the need for blood first hand. I’m here to thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Ms. Hunte’s twin sister, Sandra Hunte- Fedeli, died 10 years ago from sickle cell anemia and “I miss her every single day. It’s 10 years and it still feels like yesterday.” The life expectancy for someone with sick- le cell is 46. Ms. Hunte is 46. She’s a member of the speakers’ bureau set up by the Canadian Blood Services. “What you guys are doing here, you are saving my life and all the crazy things I do. I ride a motorcycle. My parents hate it. I sky dive. I live my life to the fullest,” Ms. Hunte said. “We’re all contributing members of soci- ety. That’s all we ask for. What you’re doing here today is so important for us recipients. You are my heroes,” she added. While the recent press conference was going on, a blood donor clinic was being held at the Regional headquarters. James Goheen of Canadian Blood Services said, “Based on the traffic I see downstairs, I’m sure it will be a terrific event.” The demand for blood has increased, he noted, up two per cent during the current fiscal year. CBS needs 927,000 units annu- ally and “that’s a big number,” he said. “We need roughly 85,000 new donors and that’s a big number.” The Sirens for Life is “vitally important to the blood supply. It maintains the sup- ply when other donors are on vacation,” Mr. Goheen stated. “We are going to be success- ful. They (emergency services people) know the need. They are the life savers again.” 50+ 50+ SHOW 7th Annual Congratulationsto our Grand at the conclusion of the show on Friday May 7th the ballot was drawn for...

For Uxbridge artists Daniel Colby and Emily Martin, capturing the fleeting moments of the human experience is the essence behind their work on display at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery. The exhibit, called Transient Nature, which also features the work of Whitby artist Linda Heffer- nan, explores the theme of imper- manence in human existence. And while each artist uses a different method, they manage to connect to the central theme on many differ- ent levels. Colby thrives on the awkward- ness and vulnerability of youth. That isn’t to say he personifies those qualities. Rather, he seeks them out as inspiration for his work. “I think people are most beauti- ful and attractive when they are at their most awkward and vulnera- ble,” he said. “Transitioning from childhood to adulthood is very precarious and I also think it’s the most dramatic period of life. It’s also why I am so interested in capturing it.” His work in the exhibit can be broken into two categories. His portraits are meant to capture and “document an existing person dur- ing a specific time.” On the other hand, his “painted fictions” are what he describes as “invented scenes that tell narrative moments before or after an event.” In his painting Freshman, two young men sit beside each other in their school dorm room staring into space. While not based on real people or events, they help illus- trate a particular idea he has about that period of transition and the vivid memories that accompany it. While Colby is most interested in people as subjects, Martin prefers to use objects. “I am attracted to objects and his- tory,” she said. Many of her pieces use various types of fabrics and textures “to give the object a presence.” In one of her installations, a series of handkerchiefs once belonging to her late grandmother are sus- pended along a wall. She intention- ally set up the piece where a natu- ral draft would cause the hand- kerchiefs to flutter “regardless of whether someone walked by them or not. “It’s really neat to think these objects have a history and memo- ries attached to them,” she said. “I also bet my grandmother would never had imagined her handkerchiefs would be exhibited in an art gallery one day.” Heffernan’s work carries an envi- ronmental warning. Her inspiration came from a ref- erence to Peter Ward’s book, Under CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND UXBRIDGE -- Daniel Colby paused from working on a portrait on July 5. Colby, fellow Uxbridge resident Emily Martin and Whitby’s Linda Heffernan are showcasing their work in Transient Nature, a new exhibit at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. Both Martin and Colby have taken the Best in Show award in the PineRidge Arts Council’s Juried Art Show.

Daniel Colby “ Local artist forms group DURHAM -- Pickering artist and art teach- er Judith Jewer often paints outside, plein air, capturing fleeting scenes in Ajax and Pickering. She has formed a new group, Ajax Pickering Plein Air Painters, which she describes in a press release as “an infor- mal group for people who would like to paint or draw outside in nature with some friends. “This is the place where we can discuss plans for field trips to go and make some art,” she says. “Everyone is welcome to come. I’m thinking it would be fun to have a picnic lunch and then spend the afternoon paint- ing, drawing, or taking photos -- whatever you like. Make sure you come with all the stuff you need for an afternoon outside. I have chosen locations where there are public washrooms.” The group won’t meet if it’s raining and Jewer says there won’t be any teaching or demonstrations at any of the sessions. The group is planning several “paintouts” this summer, all from noon to 3 p.m. as follows: • July 22 -- Lynde Shores Conservation Area, Whitby; • July 29 -- Millennium Square, Pickering (Liverpool Road at the waterfront); • Aug. 5 -- Greenwood Conservation Area, Ajax/Pickering; • Aug. 12 -- Heydenshore Kiwanis Park, Whitby (South Blair Street at the water- front); • Aug. 19 -- Morningside Park, east Toronto (Morningside Avenue and Elles- mere Road); and, • Aug. 26 -- Carruthers Creek Pavilion, Ajax (Audley Road South and Ashbury Boulevard). Jewer notes she won’t be at the July 22, 29 and Aug. 19 paintouts. To learn more, e-mail judith. jewer@gmail.com.

CD RELEASE NIGHT Durham band releases CD in Oshawa Saturday Living the dream DURHAM -- An Ajax resident literally made his dream come true. And you can listen to how it turned out as local band Bannister White releases its debut CD July 17 in Oshawa. “Several years ago Randall Johnson Chung had a dream that he was on stage with a suc- cessful rock band whose name was Bannis- ter White,” states a press release. “Because the dream was so vivid, he vowed to one day put together a band called Bannister White and follow that dream. Johnson Chung... became aware of a growing interest in ’80s rock amongst the younger generation. Seem- ing like a good time to assemble Bannister White, he called upon the talents of musi- cians he has worked with in the past.” The result is an 11-song CD of ’80s-influ- enced original tunes featuring Johnson Chung, who grew up in Whitby, Lancaster, originally from Oshawa, and another Dur- ham resident, Ed Watson. The bassist on the CD is Whitby native Rahlen Sullaphen, but the live band will include bassist and Whitby resident Michael Cybulskie (Big Mikey C). The show is at 10 p.m. at Park Place Sports Bar and Grill, 799 Park Rd. S., Oshawa. There is no cover charge. Check out the band at www.myspace.com/ bannisterwhite. Heffernan’s focus in show is on ‘the transcience of human life on earth’ a Green Sky: the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future, by Gwynne Dyer. Dyer presents various grim environmental scenarios for the future, one of which is the disruption of the cyclical move- ment of water in the world’s oceans because they are too warm. The result is less oxygen- ated water, fatal to most creatures, but ideal conditions for a bacterium that produces toxic hydrogen sulfide, which appears purple and green. Heffernan’s acrylic works in the exhibition are “all purple with blobs of green” to illus- trate the bacteria, a warning that we might again be approaching a mass extinction of life on the planet, including our own. “The transience of human life on earth is I guess how I fit in (to the exhibition’s theme),” she said. One piece, In Search of Possibilities: The green economy, shows murky figures, prompting one to wonder, ‘will they and peo- ple in general survive’? “That’s the question,” Heffernan said. “They’re kind of wandering. They don’t know enough to run to higher ground.” A page from the Income Tax Act appears in the work, reflecting the common belief that governments will work in their people’s interests and eventually address the problem before it’s too late. With files from Mike Ruta Heffernan’s from page 16 Latest group of graduates heading off to university BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If one of the goals of the Pickering Swim Club is to advance its members to a higher level, check that off the list. In fact, use three check marks. Jose Baylon, Ainsley Corkum and Carolanne Landry will be leaving their comfortable sur- roundings at the club and ven- turing into new waters as all three will be swimming at the university level beginning in the fall. Baylon, a Pickering resident who graduated from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, will be diving into the pool at the University of Ottawa for the next five years, while at the same time studying history and politi- cal science. It was the positive vibe he felt while on a visit to the nation’s capital that swayed him to enroll at Ottawa. “When I went there I had a good feel from the team,” he says. “I felt like I was a part of it even though I was just a recruit. They really know how to show their people around. “I want to be able to be with people I can relate to for four or five years. That was how I felt with them.” A member of the Pickering club the past five years after switch- ing from Scarborough, Baylon’s specialty is the 200m breastroke. He envisions his time in the pool and classroom in Ottawa as a great opportunity. “I want to go there to have fun,” he says. “I know it’s going to keep me disciplined to be in school and swimming because I have a set schedule. I have to get my work done and go to practice and not have too many distrac- tions.” Corkum will be heading the other way geographically speak- ing, opting to join the Mus- tangs program at the University of Western Ontario in London. Moving off to university is the end result of a lot of work over the past nine years that she has been a member of the Pickering club. The 18 year old from Ajax chose Western because she was impressed with the school and its location. “It’s a great school and the city is great,” says the Denis O’Connor graduate, adding that previous members of the club are members of the Western team and, “They’ve had nothing but good things to say about it. I really like the coach and I think I will fit in with the team well.” She is looking forward to the higher level of competition that the university will offer, espe- cially in her specialty, the 200m backstroke, and the challenge that her studies will present. “Swimming-wise I hope to make nationals and improve. Academically, I’m going into kinesiology and I’d like to come out with a (bachelor of science degree). I just want to do good.” Landry will be brushing up on her French when she walks through the doors of the Univer- sité Laval Rouge et Or in Sainte- Foy, Quebec. The language bar- rier won’t be an issue for the Ajax resident, who is fully bilin- gual, having lived in Montreal until the age of nine. “Laval was really where I wanted to go because they have a great swimming program and great academics as well,” she says of her choice. “The balance between the two is what I want- ed.” The graduate of Ajax High School has some lofty goals, hoping to make nationals and cop rookie of the year honours as a freshman. She’s a sprinter, specializing in the backstroke and freestyle. While excited about the oppor- tunities ahead, there are some things she will miss. “Definitely the people, my par- ents, this place. This is a great team and everybody is awe- some,” she says. Another of the club’s members, Kyle Koerth, will be off to Water- loo in hopes of making the swim team when tryouts are held. The 18 year old from Pickering will be studying systems design engineering.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 16, 201019 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurham PICKERING SWIM CLUB Swimmers are moving on RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Three Pickering Swim Club members will compete for Canadian university swim teams this year.

Smith, a standout forward with the Durham Lords men’s basketball team, will be joined by some of Can- ada’s best men’s basketball players as well as Canadi- an Football League legend Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons as they raise money in sup- port of two worthy charities in War Child Canada and the Michael ‘Pinball’ Clem- ons Foundation. Pickering’s Jovain Wilson, the 2009-10 OCAA player of the year from Fleming Col- lege, has also earned an invite to the game and will be on the opposite side of Smith, representing Clem- ons’ team, coached by Uni- versity of Toronto coach Mike Katz. The event is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. Smith will represent team War Child coached by Bob Bain of York University. Smith is coming off an excellent sophomore sea- son with the Lords as he led the OCAA with 188 rebounds and also finished the year averaging 19.2 points per game, the sev- enth highest total in Dur- ham College history. Wilson, meanwhile, had a magnificent year at Flem- ing, as evidenced by his OCAA player of the year honour. The former Dun- barton High School play- er is coming off a year of nearly 23 points per game, along with averages of 8.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals for the Knights. Smith and Wilson are the only two college players named to play in the game. Meanwhile, the winning team’s charity will receive 60 per cent of the proceeds with the remaining 40 per cent directed to the other charity. Tickets are still available at $25 for adults, $20 for students (with valid iden- tification) and $10 for chil- dren aged seven to 15 with those under seven receiv- ing free admission.

During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. “I have been advertising for 15 years,” says Tom Susac, owner of Sports Station in Oshawa. “I have people tell me not to worry about giving them my number, because they see me in the paper every week.” The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. “The editorials are very powerful and are able to explain things better than you can in an ad,” says Tom. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. The Focus on Business advertising feature is great investment for businesses. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. “I figure that I spend about $5,000 annually on advertising in Focus on Business, and it definitely brings that back tenfold,” says Tom. Spaces are currently available in all five zones. Call today to book your space!
