Residents living on Marinet Crescent, which backs onto Bayly Street, have been fighting the City of Pickering, the Region of Durham and the Province of Ontario for decades to have sound barriers installed to muffle the ever increasing noise from Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street traffic and GO Transit trains. “We just don’t go out in the backyard,” said Marinet resident Jim McLean. The City’s executive committee approved funding in the 2011 budget on March 10 to show the Province the sound barrier issue is an important priority. The City has set aside $100,000, which is 10 per cent of the total project cost. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer O’Connell was happy council got on board. Pickering OKs sound barrier MARINET CRESCENT RESIDENTS HOPE LONG FIGHT OVER METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- James McLean stands by his bedroom window that offers a clear view of Hwy. 401. Mr. McLean and his neighbours want a sound barrier built to shield them from the noise. Pickering has earmarked $100,000 in the 2011 budget for the sound barrier project. Switch & Save.

The men, all in their 20s, gave themselves up at the police station in Pickering Monday, Durham police said. The move came after pictures of the suspects were dis- tributed to the media March 3. Police said three men took a taxi from Toronto’s enter- tainment district to Pickering at about 3 a.m. Feb. 19 and upon their arrival, bolted from the car without paying the fare. When the driver pursued the young men he was assaulted, police said. Charged with assault, assault with a weapon, posses- sion of a dangerous weapon and transportation fraud are Brandon Monaghan, 23, of Southview Drive, Pickering, Brandon Shreeve, 24, of Agate Road in Ajax and Nicholas Cuccovillo, 23, of Rotherglen Road North in Ajax. CRIME Three suspects in assault on taxi driver surrender in Pickering Highway will go to Harmony and then to 35/115 KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- After being heavily criticized by Durham politicians and residents, the provincial government has relented and is now planning to build Hwy. 407 all the way to Hwy. 35/115. In an announcement in Kirby (near Orono) on Thurs- day afternoon, Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne said the 407 would be extended in two stages -- the first to Harmony Road by 2015 and then to 35/115 by 2020. “We’ve heard many, many concerns,” said Ms. Wynne. “The feeling is the first stage should go further than Sim- coe. We’ve heard that and it will now go to Harmony.” In June, the Province announced the 407 would be extended from Brock Road in Pickering to Simcoe Street in Oshawa. No date had been set for extending it beyond Simcoe. Durham Region officials and local politicians severely criticized that decision. It would cost the Region about $255 million to upgrade roads around Simcoe, while Oshawa’s cost would be about $75 million. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson is pleased with the announcement. “Is it all the way to 35/115? No. Are we going to have a contract and signed commitment to get there? Yes,” Mr. Anderson said in an interview. “Is it moved beyond Simcoe? Yes. Now we know it’s going to be done.” Ms. Wynne said the government has always commit- ted to building the extension all the way to 35/115, but noted the economic downturn impacted its ability. “The idea was to extend it to Simcoe and then to 35/115,” she said, adding the first stage should be done by 2015. “We’re confirming the second stage to 35/115 by 2019 or 2020,” she added. “We’re doing this because we’ve heard the concerns of the community,” Ms. Wynne noted. “There were a lot of concerns about the small communities around Simcoe. We’ve heard those.” Oshawa Mayor John Henry is pleased the highway won’t be stopping at Simcoe Street. “The community and our neighbour- hoods won,” he said. “They’re committed to a date of completion,” Mayor Henry added. “The next step is to get everything signed and hon- oured.” Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster said he was grateful for the clarity and timeline now being given by the Province. The municipality would have preferred the original timeline of building the highway by 2013 but is still pleased by the recent announcement, he said. “I’m a whole lot happier today than I was yesterday. But I’m not ecstatic. Ecstatic would have been 2013, but that would have been unrealistic,” said Mayor Foster. “We are cer- tainly thankful. I know how difficult this was for the Province. We can’t criticize good and well-intentioned decisions.” With files from Jennifer O’Meara INFRASTRUCTURE Province makes new decision on Hwy. 407 in Durham durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 11, 20114 AP Cranberry Spinach Salad Choice of one Hot Appetizer Authentic Irish Soda Bread Roasted Sweet Potato Soup or Maple Almond Crostini Irish Lamb Stew Maple Glazed Chicken Breast or Filet of Sole in Lemon Butter Sauce Strawberry Cheesecake Maple Syrup Bread Pudding or Bailey’s Irish Cream Cake Choice of one Delicious Dessert Choice of one Gourmet Entree www.heritagehousecatering.ca info@heritagehousecatering.ca Place your order two days in advance of your pick-up day, March 17, 18, 19 or 20 $45 /couple Sample selections from our extensive take out menu weekdays 4-7 weekends 10-5 Gourmet Dinner Just heat and serve 479 Kingston Road W.

Rafael Jewellery Welcome Centre in Ajax will provide ‘one-stop shopping’ for newcomers KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The face of Durham is changing, so the Region now has a plan to incorporate that change. On Friday, the Diversity and Immigration Communi- ty Plan was released, and it outlines steps Durham can take to be more inclusive. Speaking to the approximately 200 people at the launch, held at the Ajax Convention Centre, Brock Mayor Larry O’Connor spoke of growing up Metis. “That was diversity when I was in school.” Audrey Andrews, the manager of the diversity and immigration program for the Region, said in an inter- view the benefit of the plan is “all citizens will have the opportunity to be equal.” Work on the plan began about 18 months ago, when Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced it would provide funds for communities looking to devel- op a plan. Dr. Hugh Drouin, social services commissioner for Durham, the Community Development Council of Durham and the Durham Region Local Training Board applied to do the work. “That’s the plan we are celebrating today,” Dr. Drouin said. “Local wisdom informed local planning. “The plan has a focus on newcomers,” he added. Mayor O’Connor, the chairman of Regional council’s health and social services committee, said it a “well- crafted plan. You’ll find we covered off an awful lot in there.” Martyn Beckett, director of education with the Dur- ham District School Board, said, “We got to today’s launch because people in the community are willing to talk.” The plan will serve as a framework and provide direc- tion to the community. Objectives include creating a culture of inclusion, enhancing Durham’s settlement capacity, improving labour markets for newcomers and attracting and retaining skilled immigrants. The 2006 Canadian census found that 21 per cent of Durham’s population, or about 118,000 people, are immigrants. The report noted the Region is changing and the plan “is one of the many good first steps towards framing that change.” Each of the four areas is divided into goals and activi- ties that could achieve the goals. One of the goals in enhancing Durham’s settlement capacity is “all new and existing residents will settle and integrate successfully in to the Durham community.” The other goal in enhancing settlement capacity is to develop a “Durham-specific plan” that will “meet the unique needs of Durham residents.” An example of increased service is a Welcome Centre in Ajax that will provide “one-stop shopping” for new- comers looking to settle in Durham, Ms. Andrews said. A hope is to decrease barriers to internationally trained professionals who have come to Canada, she noted. “There’s already excellent service. We’re only putting it together under one umbrella,” Ms. Andrews said. DIVERSITY Durham plans to be inclusive You’ll ﬁ nd we covered off an awful lot in there. Brock Mayor Larry O’Connor durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 11, 20115 AP No new officers in the department’s budget KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Policing is going to cost taxpayers almost $154 million in 2011. That’s a 5.29-per cent increase over the Durham Regional Police Services budget of $146 million last year. No new officers are being hired this year. The budget was approved by the Region’s finance and administra- tion committee on Tuesday and it will be forwarded to Regional coun- cil on March 9 for consideration. Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son, also chairman of the Police Services Board, said the depart- ment’s budget is “status quo.” The police service has about 870 police officers and 367 civilian staff. In an interview, Chief Mike Ewles said, “We’ll still cover off staff that leave through attrition.” Staff now stationed at the Pickering and Darlington nuclear stations will come back to the force as Ontario Power Generation builds up its security department, he said. “I only ask for them (new staff) when I need them,” the chief added. Deputy Chief Scott Burns noted the department is preparing for a new “shift schedule,” set to start in January 2012. “It’s a big change for us,” Deputy Chief Burns said. “It will take resources for that to hap- pen. There will be more officers on the street when we need them, like during peak times.” Chief Ewles said, “We’ll have the same number of staff working dif- ferent hours.” The police association has filed a grievance about the planned shift changes, Deputy Chief Burns said. The new shift schedule will require more supervisory person- nel, facilities and 22 new marked cars, he noted. Under Chief Ewles, “Our focus has been on infrastructure and not staff,” the deputy chief said. Infrastructure the department is planning includes new facilities, a common communication platform (radio system) that will allow the police and other agencies, such as OPG security staff, “to talk to each other.” A ground-breaking ceremony for an operations training facility in Whitby will be held in April and the site will open at the end of 2012, Deputy Chief Burns said. It will include a firearms training facility and the 911 operations centre. A new police station in Claring- ton is scheduled for 2014 and it would include a forensics building, he said. “Our debt will be an issue going forward,” he noted. The Durham force placed sec- ond among Canadian municipali- ties of more than 100,000 in a rank- ing of ‘weighted clearance rate’, or the percentage of crimes solved, at 47.6 per cent, said the deputy chief. Kingston was first at 47.8. While crime rates have been dropping across the country, pri- marily as the population ages, chal- lenges in the future include adults who go missing, he said. From 2008 to 2009, the number increased 11 per cent. The complexity of the work has also gone up, he noted. REGION Durham to spend $154 million for police in 2011 Ah, keyboard warrior, fearsome online gladiator who can strike fear into the hearts of Internet denizens with the tap of a key, just what are we going to do with you? I’m talking about those anonymous com- menters on websites, forums and blogs who always have something nasty to say. For some reason the filters that apply in regular society seem to just disappear when people go online. Go to any major newspaper, such as the Toronto Star, and you’ll see a cesspit of ignorant comments. While I’m sure the most egregious get deleted, there’s enough on there to make one wonder if we’ve lost all ability to have a civil conversation. In fact, I know of a number of bloggers, such as feminist Kate Harding of Shape- ly Prose, who simply closed their popular blogs under the weight of the onerous task of moderating comments. Many of the ter- rible comments were never posted on the site, but they still had to be read by someone before they were deleted. The job of con- stantly filtering comments is exhausting. In her explanation of why she closed her blog, Kate writes: “I have basically lost my stomach for making any argument more inflammatory than ‘Personally -- and I am in no way saying you should agree with me -- I enjoy sunshine and puppy dogs and rain- bows.’ Except we all know even that will lead to 300 impassioned comments about melanoma, drought, puppy mills, dog fighting, (the Defence of Marriage Act) and (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell), most of which I will actually agree with and be appropri- ately incensed by, but all of which I will find exhausting because the point of writing about sunshine and puppy dogs and rain- bows was to AVOID DOING THAT JUST F--- ING ONCE.” Now major news sites employ profession- als to do what Kate and her moderators did as volunteers, but even sites like the New York Times can have trouble keeping up with the volume of comments popular sto- ries receive. It does help to have a clearly outlined set of rules for commenting. Oshawa Council- lor Amy England recently posted just such a set of guidelines on her public Facebook profile where she insisted that people who post on her page stick to debating ideas and never personally attack each other. “It is important that we respect those around us and their right to peaceful and informative debate on Facebook,” she wrote. In fact, a recent trend for news sites is the use of a Facebook plug-in in the comments section, as the Toronto Sun does, which links comments with Facebook profiles. Now, in addition to promoting the news site through Facebook, one of the benefits is that people use their real names in comments. As most of us are aware, online postings under our real names turn up on Google when someone searches us and that serves to rein many of us in. But unless ‘George Orwell’ is back from the grave just to share his love of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, it’s clear that anonymous comments are still a possibility and site moderators will still have to slay the odd keyboard warrior. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space.

It’s not over until it’s over to Hwy. 115/35 Sustained political pressure and a vulnerable provincial government that faces a looming election, it seems, pro- vide the perfect ingredients for some- thing half-baked. What else can Durham Region con- clude from the partial about-face by Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals to slightly extend the Hwy. 407 further east than the much-maligned terminus at Simcoe Street in Oshawa and instead build out to Harmony Road by 2015. Local MPPs, municipal and regional representatives turned out in the Clar- ington community of Kirby Thursday afternoon to make the announcement, providing a measure of relief to area municipalities and Durham Region, all of which have been advocating aggres- sively for the past year to have the Prov- ince live up to its original 407 agreement and build out to Hwy. 115/35. Given the bulging provincial deficit of more than $18 billion, this is quite like- ly the best deal Durham will get at this time. And while the new proposal to build the first phase past Simcoe Street to Harmony Road, along with a prom- ise to extend the link all the way to Hwy. 115/35 by 2020, is an improvement on the planned Simcoe Street terminus, it still represents a broken promise. In that context, the fight cannot be declared over for Durham Region and municipal politicians. Regardless of which government assumes power in October, the deep deficit will remain and shape for the next several years Ontario’s fiscal policy. Pressure applied by the likes of Durham Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson and Oshawa Mayor John Henry has resulted in this early victory, but we strongly encourage them to prepare for the next phase and ensure that the government of the day is cognizant of the need to bring the high- way all the way to Hwy. 115/35. It’s difficult to overstate the impor- tance of Hwy. 407 to Durham Region, its member municipalities and its citizens. It will provide relief to weary motorists stuck on Hwy. 401 in the morning and afternoon rush; it will more efficiently and inexpensively move goods and peo- ple to and from Durham communities; and it will provide the impetus for com- mercial and residential growth in areas of proximity to the highway extension. This move by the Province is certain- ly welcome, but still falls short. Durham officials must keep up the pressure, seek strategic opportunities to make their case with provincial officials, and keep Hwy. 407 on the government’s radar. To adapt an old saying, it’s not over until it’s over to Hwy. 115/35. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 11, 20117 AP FREE GPS With a n y U s e d c a r $175 v a l u e VILLAGE PRE-OWNED CENTRE GrandGrand Opening GrandGrandGrand OpeningOpeningOpening Monday March 14 19HarwoodAvenueSouth,Ajax (justsouthofKingstonRd)|905683-9001 O U R O N S I T EOUR O N S I T E C R E D I T P R O SCREDIT P R O S W I L L G E T Y O UWILL G E T Y O U R O L L I N G !ROLLING! 2010 MAZDA 5 WAGON The only Mini Mini Van!

Fire departments have long advocated changing batteries every six months with changing clocks and this spring clocks are set to go forward by an hour on March 13. “Despite improving building codes, alarms and public awareness, fires take the lives of hundreds of people across our province every year,” said Ajax fire prevention inspec- tor Kevin Vaughan. “The sad truth is that too often, way too often, a smoke alarm probably could have prevented many of those deaths.” The fire department is reminding residents that Ontario homes are required to have a working smoke alarm on every floor and out- side sleeping areas. Smoke alarms should also be cleaned every six months by open- ing the cover and gently vacuuming the inte- rior of the device without the vacuum noz- zle touching the unit. They should also be replaced if they’re older than 10 years.

The Rebellion of 1837 was an uprising of dis- gruntled settlers, many of whom were farm- ers or retired British soldiers. After a series of attempts to bring about political reform in Upper Canada, they took up arms against the colonial government. Following the events of the revolt, hundreds of men and boys, many from Pickering, were either imprisoned or banished. Families were torn apart and many Pickering residents left and emigrated to the United States, never to return. The Museum Village is planning a special performance for rebellion descendants only on Sept. 24. They’ll be treated to a private production of the award-winning A Spirit Walk , an original dramatic production of the events leading up to the Rebellion of 1837. Held at the Pickering Museum Village, 2365 Concession Rd. 6, the production will go along its paths and through a collection of the homes and buildings of those who set- tled in Pickering Township. Some of the fami- lies portrayed in the play include Matthews, Willson, Barclay, Hubbard, Wixon, Major and Law.

It’s Time to Pickering shelter hosting Whitby event; cats rescued from unnecessary euthanasia need new homes WHITBY -- Cats that have been rescued from an unnecessary death sentence will be up for adoption this weekend. The Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue Inc., a not-for-profit registered charity run by a growing group of volunteers who simply love cats, will host an adopt-a-thon this weekend at the Brooklin Pet Valu, 5949 Baldwin St. S. Unit 12. “We’re rescuing them from high-kill shelters that ran out of room,” said Sha- ron Carss of Cat Town, a small Pickering shelter that cares for some of the Forgot- ten Ones rescues. “The only reason they’re being put to sleep is because there’s no room for them at the shelter.” Cats and kittens will be up for adop- tion on Saturday, March 12 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, March 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They range from $175 to $225, and all cats have been checked by a vet, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for internal and external par- asites and any further care they may require. They also come with six weeks of pet insurance. Pet Valu is offering a 15 per cent dis- count to anyone who adopts a cat or kit- ten, excluding food and litter. Forgotten Ones is always looking for foster homes as well.

Hardwood is coveted by buy- ers, and its clean, inviting look makes it a neutral design element that goes with many different types of decor. Today's hardwood ﬂ ooring is not the hard- wood of the past. There are many options Home Sweet HomeADVERTISING FEATURE Today’s wood ﬂ ooring is not your parents’ hardwood from which to choose, including varied colors, types of wood, patterns, and inlays. In addition, innovations in sealants enable hardwood to be durable and hold up better against the daily grind. About 25 years ago, a homeowner basi- cally had to settle for wood ﬂ ooring that was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The strips were nailed in place by a carpenter and ﬁ nished on site. Now, more than half of hardwood is fabricated and preﬁ nished at a factory and is much easier to install -- even by the homeowner himself. The range of styles and colors is also very extensive. Planks can be chosen in thin strips or wider options. Native hardwoods are available, as are offshore woods from differ- ent countries. Finishes can also be custom- ized with higher gloss or matte choices. For homeowners interested in going green, hardwood ﬂ ooring also presents many op- tions. A growing trend is using reclaimed wood that is recycled and then reﬁ nished into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes, and even river bottoms. The varied history of the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal. Homeowners can also choose among engi- neered wood products, which are essentially several layers of wood veneer adhered to a solid backing of plywood and sealed. This layered construction can make engineered ﬂ ooring more stable and durable than tra- ditional hardwood ﬂ ooring. That means it can be used in rooms where hardwood was long frowned upon, like basements and bath- rooms. Wood ﬂ ooring will continue to garner mass appeal and be the preference of many hom- eowners. With new innovations and avail- ability, there are more options than ever for discerning homeowners.

The overall sound barrier cost is estimat- ed to be about $1 million and the Province is expected to pay the remaining $900,000. Municipal property and engineering divi- sion head Richard Holborn said based on what he’s heard from Pickering officials, the Province is ready to move forward on the project. By setting aside the funds in the budget, it shows the Province Pickering’s ready to attack the long-time project. “It lets the Province know that we’re serious about this matter and that we’re willing to go through the steps to get funds approved as a sign of the (importance of the) project,” he said. In 2006, a tri-party agreement among Dur- ham, the Province and Pickering where all three government bodies would be respon- sible for funding was yet to take place, but instead, has fallen by the wayside. Coun. O’Connell, who spoke with Region- al staff regarding the issue at the beginning of this term, said some staff didn’t know about the Marinet issue, while others thought the issue was no longer on the table, “so there was no intent for the Region to move forward any time soon.” While there’s been debate on who is respon- sible to pay for the barrier, Mr. McLean just wants it done. “If they put up the sound bar- rier, I’d love them all,” he said, referring to the City, the Province and the Region. He hopes the work will get done before the next provincial election because he noted if power shifts hands once again, the residents could be back at square one. Coun. O’Connell said once the funding is included in both municipal and provin- cial budgets, the Province will undertake a detailed design on the project.

But Durham Improv’s Steph- anie Herrera has discovered a strong link and specializes in corporate improv. Through games and exercis- es, attendees meet new people, have a blast and, along the way, sometimes without realizing it, pick up or accentuate skills that can make them better business people. “It’s about confidence boost- ing, learning how to focus, get- ting those creative juices flow- ing, getting out of your head and acting,” she says. At a recent One-Day Improv Intensives workshop, Herre- ra welcomed a dozen people to Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby. Asked why they signed up, many stated “to have some fun.” Pickering’s Marlene Marco, a network marketer, was there to have a good time, but also to learn how to think on her feet better, to come up with a faster response in business situations and to improve her communica- tion skills. “It’s not that I’m uncomfort- able meeting new people,” she says, adding she thought it would be a great way to meet some new people and grow as a person. A member of her networking group, Cindy Sullivan of Whitby, had attended a session before and spoke highly of it. “I went to have fun and I learned so much about myself ... it was more than I expected,” Sullivan tells the group. “I’m open to whatever it is I’m going to learn,” Marco says. The energetic Hererra tells the group of her roots in improv and musical theatre, including a stint as a cast member at Theatre Sports Toronto. She organizes a live improv show in Durham once a month. She says she’s not out to teach people how to be funny, but how “to get out of their comfort zone. “The imagination is a muscle,” Herrera says. “If you don’t use it, it will go away.” The basics of improv, she says, are verbal and non-verbal “offer- ing and accepting.” Things get started with The Clapping Game, where the dozen participants accept and send claps to others in the group as quickly as possible. Before long everybody is laughing. More games follow, and partici- pants are encouraged to jump in and take part. “It relates to business, not being afraid to take a chance, seize an opportunity,” Herrera says. “You should always be think- ing, ‘how do I get in and help, how do I support’ in business and life.” The games get a bit more complex, as when one person would say, for example, ‘I have a migraine’ and a second per- son would have to come up with a reason why that’s important to or impacts them, as in, ‘I’ll have to go and get you some medica- tion’. In The Hitchhiker Game, two imaginary motorists pick up a hitchhiker and begin speaking and acting as the new passenger does while having a conversa- tion. Richard Gauder of Port Perry, co-owner of CMS Web Solu- tions, came to Improv Intensives for a number of reasons, includ- ing curiosity. “I want to support laughter in Durham,” he says. He brought his wife, Sandi, whom he felt needed a break. “She needs to get out; she’s in front of a computer all day,” Gauder says. As for himself, he says he’s often chosen to speak or be a master of ceremonies and felt the workshop would benefit him. Sullivan had done improv as a teenager and, as an Avon lady, does a lot of cold calling. “You never know who’s going to come to the door,” she says. Apart from thinking quickly and speaking more clearly, her goal the first time she came out was to be more confident in talk- ing with strangers. This time around, Sullivan wanted to build on what she had learned. Sullivan has high praise for Herrera, who she says “keeps the day moving at a fast pace.” Learn more about Durham Improv at durhamimprov.com.

CONCERT FOR KIDS Ajax site of second annual Children’s Concert Pickering Community Concert Band plays for kids AJAX -- The Pickering Community Concert Band is set to perform an inter- active concert for younger children.

It allows children to get involved in the performance and experience the thrill of live music, as in the Kinder Symphony, when audience members are asked to be the soloists. As in 2010, this year’s concert is expected to attract a large audience. The band recommends getting to the perfor- mance early to ensure a spot is available. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and seniors. They can be pur- chased at the door and from any of the band members.

WATCH a video at durhamregion.com Many old movies became available on VHS mainly because the quality the tech- nology offered was on par with ordinary analog television. The studios could eas- ily, and with minimal cost, directly transfer much of their back catalogues to VHS, since they had already scanned them for TV in the past. With the appearance of DVD, the situation was drastically different. Movie fans feared that limited older titles would not make it to the new invention as they did with VHS because now movies had to be re-mastered to high-definition and the cost of doing so was an issue. But, over time, for the most part, this concern proved to be unfounded. The oldies are widely available on DVD, but at the same time, there’s quite a ways to go yet. So what about Blu-ray? Yet another format to drain the pockets of film fans and collec- tors. The thought of starting all over again is exhausting in itself. But wait. This time around, it doesn’t look like the new techno- logical kid in town will get an upper hand for three simple reasons: 1) Old standard definition videotapes reveal hardly any picture quality improve- ment when up-converted to high-defini- tion Blu-ray; therefore, DVD remains the favoured format for television programs and movies from the past. 2) Blu-ray machines can play older DVD films; both mediums exist in compatibility. 3) Last but not least, the biggest obstacle to terminating the DVD is that many consum- ers are quite satisfied with it, myself includ- ed. There is no indication the DVD will fade away; in fact, it is predicted it will remain the dominant force in the home entertainment arena for years to come. Some keynote movies not on home video in any format: Wind Across The Everglades (1958). A tough one to crack. Contains an early, impressive role by Canadian Christopher Plummer, who has received quite a bit of media noto- riety in recent times. Of course, the Ever- glades are a real eye-catcher. Sons And Lovers (1961). Based on a D.H. Lawrence story; superbly constructed on all counts. Porgy And Bess (1959). Impossible to view anywhere. Classic George Gershwin musi- cal adaptation which spawned the timeless record, I Loves You Porgy by the talented blues and jazz singer Nina Simone. Song Of The South (1946). OK, this one did see the light of day but only in Japan on Laserdisc. You can imagine the dollar signs in the eyes of anyone owning a copy, con- sidering this Walt Disney item is highly sought after. And not likely to be unleashed from the vaults, due to sentiments of politi- cal incorrectness. The Truth About Spring (1965). Young love story starring Hayley Mills and James “Danno” McArthur, whom we lost on Octo- ber 28. Sands Of The Kalahari (1965). Susannah York and Stuart Whitman played their parts well in this interesting tale of survival after a plane crash. Shades of The Flight Of The Phoenix. The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs (1960). Surprising this has never made it to home video. Well-crafted drama of human rela- tionships based on a play by William Inge is laced with a fine score by Max Steiner. No less than five vinyl singles of the theme music competed with each other during the picture’s initial run. Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955). The story of a school teacher told in poignant flash- backs. You’re Cheatin’ Heart (1964). Good Hank Williams biopic with George Hamilton. Merry Andrew (1958). I’ve been called that. Another of many entertaining, comedic Danny Kaye flicks, popular during the 50s and early 60s. Andrew Merey is a Whitby resident who’s interested in music and movie history. He has contributed articles to the Metroland Durham Region Media Group since 2003. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 11, 201118 AP COLUMN Classic films still not available on home video ANDY MEREY / LOOKING BACK SUPPLIED PHOTO DURHAM -- A young Christopher Plummer is featured in Wind Across the Everglades, one of many classic films not available on home video.

Clarke, Dunbarton have long runs DURHAM -- A couple of local schools gave a good account of themselves in basketball and volleyball at the OFSAA championships. At the Quad-A boys’ basketball championships in London, J. Clarke Richardson advanced to the bronze medal game, losing to Henry Carr 79-75 in overtime. It was a good run for the Ajax school, who opened the tourna- ment with a 71-51 victory over Fletch- ers Meadows, followed by a 73-50 vic- tory over JF Ross. In the quarterfinals, J. Clarke beat Sacred Heart 62-52, but the run to gold ended in the semifinals, falling to Loyola 76-73. J. Clarke was ranked number two in the 16-team tournament after getting in when Pickering, who won the LOSSA championship over J. Clarke 83-72, was ruled out after using an ineligible player this season due to an administration error. In Quad-A girls’ volleyball in New- market, a slow start in the round robin didn’t deter Dunbarton from a long play- off run. Seeded seventh, Dunbarton fin- ished third in a pool of four in round robin play, relegating them to the consolation round of playoffs. In the quarterfinals they swept Glebe 25-18, 25-18, Mother Teresa 25-16, 26-24 in the semis, and Waterdown 26-24, 25-21 in the consola- tion final. VOLLEYBALL Doyle named top Canadian Pickering volleyball player honoured with national award SAINT JOHN, NB -- Humber College volley- ball star Landis Doyle is capping her athletic career on top of her game as she was named the Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA) female volleyball 2010/11 player of the year. It is the first time a Humber volleyball ath- lete has won the award. The award was announced Wednesday night in Saint John, NB, where Doyle is with the rest of the Humber Hawks, as they compete at the CCAA national championships at the Univer- sity of New Brunswick. The Pickering native led the Humber Hawks to a 24-1 record and the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) title, the fourth straight women’s vol- leyball championship for Humber. “I’m honoured and surprised by this award. There are so many excellent and deserving players, it’s flattering to be named CCAA play- er of the year,” said Doyle, who plays middle for the Hawks. “I’m grateful to my coaches and my teammates. This award belongs as much to them as it does to me. My time at Humber has been amazing. I wanted to play volleyball wherever I went to school. I came to Humber for the academic program, and I’m glad I did.” A third-year graphics design diploma stu- dent, Doyle juggles practices, games, volun- teering at Humber community volleyball clin- ics and her studies. She has excelled academi- cally and was named a 2010/11 Academic All- Canadian and an OCAA Academic All-Ontar- ian. It is her success on the court in her last sea- son that has brought attention to the quiet star. She now holds OCAA records for career points and aces, after breaking the previous records of 1,035 points and 188 aces. She has also been named a two-time All-Canadian, two-time OCAA Player of the Year, and won numerous other awards. Her coach, Chris Wilkins, says that even with all the records, honours and awards, Doyle remains focused on the team goals. “Landis’s humility and dedication to the team makes her special. She is a unique indi- vidual who’s a true team player, one that avoids the personal spotlight, but embraces the role of being the go-to player on the court when needed,” he said. “Sometimes the player of the year is award- ed to the person who had the best year, and other times it is based on honouring the ath- lete’s career achievements. This is one of the rare times that the recipient is truly deserving from both points of view.” Humber honoured Doyle this year by mak- ing her just the fifth women’s volleyball player to have her jersey number retired. SUBMITTED PHOTO SAINT JOHN, NB -- Landis Doyle, a Pickering resident who plays volleyball with the Humber Hawks, was named Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA) female volleyball player of the year for 2010/2011. TRACK Best at the top of his game with gold, silver AJAX -- Wesley Best of Ajax led The Speed Academy to a 10th place finish in the Junior Division at the Ontario Bantam, Midget and Junior Track and Field Championship at York University. A total of 38 clubs competed in the Junior division.

Lindsay Brazill wins gold, bronze medals SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Lindsay Brazill has been on skis since she about a year and a half old. Now, as a 17-year-old Grade 12 student at Trafalgar Cas- tle School in Whitby, Brazill is making quite an impact on the slopes, as evidenced by her showing at last week’s OFSAA Alpine Ski championships. The Ajax resident won gold in the slalom event and also cap- tured a bronze in the giant sla- lom. She was the only female competitor to finish inside the top three in both events. The ability to hunker down and put a little more into her second runs in each event allowed Bra- zill to return home with the two medals. “My first slalom run wasn’t the best run I’ve ever had so I had quite a bit of time to make up on my second run,” she said, while estimating the time to make up was more than half a second, a considerable margin in the ski world. “I went out there with nothing to lose at that point and had a pretty good run. “On the second I think I ran things a little straighter and went faster. I think I held back a little on the first run.” The reason she held back, Bra- zill guessed, was likely due to nerves. “I just wanted to make sure I finished and didn’t fall,” she said with a laugh. Having spent most of her life on the hills through the winter months, dedication to the sport along with the support of those around her have helped Brazill reach the pinnacle of her sport at the high school level. It’s a fact she was quite quick to point out. “The coaches I have had have been really supportive. They’ve always been there to help me train,” she said. “That and just working hard. Also my broth- er (Thomas), who is also quite good has been able to push me quite a bit.” As for what is next, Brazill isn’t quite sure at this time. She is currently going through the process of trying to pick a post secondary institution and has narrowed her choices down to two schools. One here in Ontar- io and the other out in British Columbia. “I think I’ve decided on Queen’s or UBC if I get into either,” Brazill said. “UBC has an excellent ski team and Queen’s I just love the school.” HIGH SCHOOL Ajax skier masters the slopes at OFSAA PHOTO BY HERMAN KOESIAG COLLINGWOOD -- Lindsay Brazill, of Trafalgar Castle School in Whitby, won gold and silver at the OFSAA alpine skiing championships at Blue Mountain.

CURLING COLUMN Hart a real hotshot after winning title at the Brier Pickering curler receives two-year lease from Ford JIM EASSON Annandale’s Bantam boys’ team of Corey Gaudette, Joe Flett, Alex Wagner and Nathan Scott, with coach Chuck Gaudette, had won the Regional Play- down Jan. 23 at the Peterborough Curl- ing Club, advancing them to the Pro- vincial finals held in Tweed March 2-5. The round robin playdown there left them with a 3-4 record, tied for sixth place. Annandale alumnus Michael Bryson skipped his Trent University team to the Ontario university curling champi- onship. He and the team are now off to the Canadian University Curling Cham- pionship March 9-13 in St. John’s, New- foundland. In the OCA Junior Mixed Zone 6 play- down at the Oshawa Curling Club Feb. 13, an Annandale team skipped by James McPherson won the B side of the six team draw. The team now advanc- es to York Curling Club Regional Play- down March 12-13. With McPherson are Robin Murphy, Robert Currie and Yvonne Lalonde. Two teams from the eight-team double knockout draw will advance to the Dundas Valley Golf and Curling club for the Ontario Provincial Championship March 30 to April 2. Pickering resident Richard Hart, vice for the Ontario champion Glenn How- ard team, was the Ford Hotshots win- ner at the Tim Hortons Brier in London on the opening day Saturday, March 5. He won a two-year lease on a 2011 Ford Edge with an approximate retail value of $22,000. He beat Alberta skip Kevin Martin in the final draw. Richard said he would settle an amount out to the rest of the team, and keep the vehicle. He also said that the Hotshots Event is a lot of fun, and that all the curlers love it. He says that every game will be a battle as the field has many tough teams. The balance of Team Howard has Brent Laing and Craig Savill playing front end. The team won their sixth straight Ontario curling title in Grimsby at the 2011 Ontario Provincial Curling Cham- pionship on Feb. 13.

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! For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.
