Smruti Paymaster wants to give the gift of comfort and dignity to kids and adults who can’t afford suitable footwear through the two BioPed Franchising Inc. clinics she runs. BioPed is the lead- ing provider of lower limb health care in Canada, and the pedorthic clinics pro- vide a full range of lower limb and foot- related products and services. Ms. Paymaster and her staff are collect- ing gently worn shoes from the public, as are all other BioPed stores across Can- ada, to donate to local Salvation Army locations. “Specifically right now we’re collecting for what we call Dignity Day, which will be held on May 18,” she said. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- BioPed pedorthic intern Lauren Simonds, left, and manager and owner Shruti Paymaster posed April 21 with some of the donations they have received as part of the goodytwoshoes campaign. They will be taking the donations to the Salvation Army May 18 where they will fit the shoes to those in need.

The April 21 event was organized by Com- munity Development Council Durham and hosted by Devi Mandir in Pickering with Lib- eral incumbent Mark Holland, Conserva- tive Chris Alexander, the Green Party’s Mike Harilaid and the NDP’s Jim Koppens taking the stage to share their positions and answer questions from the audience. United Party candidate Bob Kesic did not attend. With a crowd of more than 200 people, the loudest group of supporters seemed to favour Mr. Alexander, though there was also a loud contingent for Mr. Holland. The Liberal pub- lic safety and national security critic took a lot of tough questions on his positions on issues such as crime and the long-gun registry. Mr. Holland re-stated his position that it would be a mistake to adopt an American- style prisons policy and said the Conservative plan is what has failed in California. On the gun registry, he pointed out that the majority of police chiefs in the country, police associations, doctors’ associations and more support the registry. “I stand with those victims who’ve endorsed me in this election, I stand with the police, I stand with those medical workers who say the gun registry saves lives,” he said. Mr. Alexander, meanwhile, said he sup- ports strong gun control, but his party would not stand for the registry because it punishes rural Canadians and law-abiding citizens. Continuing a theme from previous debates, the majority of the panel pushed Mr. Alex- ander to defend Mr. Harper’s democratic record. “We cannot trust a government found in contempt of Parliament and who treats free speech of its citizens with contempt,” said Mr. Harilaid. Mr. Alexander, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan, pointed out that Mr. Harper led his party through four demo- cratic elections in recent years and compared democracy in Canada to what he had seen overseas. “It’s still the envy of the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere,” he said. The group also tackled the issue of health care. Mr. Alexander said the Conservative gov- ernment increased transfer payments to the provinces which helps pay for health care and said the Liberals had slashed the transfers to get the deficit under control in the 1990s. “I think most Canadians regret that was done on the back of our health-care system,” he said, adding that the transfer payments to Ontario meant that the Province could keep a hospital, such as the one in Ajax-Pickering, open. Mr. Holland responded that the Conserva- tives are planning on spending billions on fighter jets and questioned how that would impact health-care spending. “If we spend all that money on that and on corporate tax cuts, the money’s not going to be there,” he said. He also talked about the need to invest in mental health services. Mr. Koppens said there were problems in the system, pointing out that his daughter in Smith Falls can’t find a family physician and said he was opposed to public-private part- nerships in health care. The NDP candidate defended his decision to take a vacation with his family during the campaign period. Before the meeting, he said the vacation was scheduled long before the election was called and as a working man, he couldn’t afford to reschedule it. “Maybe I’m not a politician because I made a promise to my children and I keep my promises,” Mr. Koppens said in defence of his decision to go. In closing, Mr. Harilaid urged the public to take a strong look at his party’s platform. “Go back to the Green Party, look at the social issues, look at the environmental issues,” he said. Mr. Holland talked about his long years of service in the community, from a youth vol- unteer to a city councillor to serving as mem- ber of Parliament; Mr. Alexander re-stated that the choice was between his party and a coalition that includes separatists; and Mr. Koppens urged everyone to vote, regardless of who they cast a ballot for.

Council rejects proposal to ban electronic devices at meetings KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Councillors aren’t willing to give up their smartphones during their meetings. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles’ motion to ban the use of cellphones in council chambers during public and in- camera meetings failed at the April 18 council meeting. The motion stated electronic devices at meetings can be “distracting, disruptive and disrespectful.” “I don’t think there’s any need to use BlackBerries or other tablets or cell- phones during the conduct of meetings and I hope other councillors will support this,” Coun. Pickles said at the meeting. Some did, such as Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Doug Dickerson, who brought the motion forward along with Coun. Pickles. “I understand the need for something for emergencies but not for continuous use of them within, whether that be a del- egation or member of council,” he said. But the majority didn’t support a ban. “I do believe we should treat our col- leagues and delegations with respect but it’s not necessarily about having a Black- Berry or not,” said Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe. Electronic devices are the way of the future, said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, who likes to know family members, residents and clients can reach him day or night. “My BlackBerry’s always on, even when I’m sleeping -- my wife will attest to that,” he said. “I also have a business that is not a nine-to-five business.” Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodri- gues, who noted he hardly has his Black- Berry with him at meetings, said ban- ning an object isn’t the answer to making council more respectful. “Should we ban screwdrivers because the odd person will stick someone with it?” he said. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer O’Connell complained the motion didn’t spell out that the use of assistive electron- ic devices would be allowed for someone with a disability. “We’re asking council to move backward in time?” she said. But Coun. Pickles said the clerk would make sure those details were ironed out in the bylaw process. He added after the meeting that such allowances go with- out saying, like guide dogs accompanying the visually impaired when a sign says ‘no pets allowed.’ The mayor supported the motion. “I think it’s well-intended and I think it would work,” he said.

Three suspects sought AJAX -- Police are on the lookout for bicycle-riding bandits commit- ting street-level robberies in Ajax. In two incidents Monday, victims were approached by suspects who stole or attempted to steal cellphones, Durham police said. Cops are appeal- ing to the public for assistance identifying the sus- pects. The first incident occurred about 3 p.m. Monday when two people were approached by two males on bicycles on Mandrake Street. The suspects asked for the time and when a male victim took out his phone, they restrained him and tried to grab the phone. The would-be robbers fled. At about 4:30 p.m., a woman waiting for a bus at Westney and Kingston roads was approached by a male on a bike who asked about the transit schedule, police said. He rode away but soon returned and asked for the time, then assaulted the woman and stole her phone. The suspect was joined by two other males on bikes as he fled. The suspects in the incidents are black men in their late teens, police said.

Hospital foundation confirms names removed temporarily for renovation KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Bruce Galloway was surprised to find the commemorative bricks in his daughter’s name was no longer in sight during a recent trip to the Ajax-Pickering hospital. “They just vanished,” he said. In the late 1980s, Mr. Galloway’s daugh- ter Elaine was killed in a car accident, and the family requested donations be made to the hospital in lieu of flowers. Donors got a brick to take home, and names of donors or the names of those who’d died were put on a plastic sheet that looked like a brick wall in the west lobby. “I always stop and look at my daughter’s name -- five bricks in a row,” Mr. Galloway said, adding they were $150 each. Tracy Paterson, Rouge Valley Health System Foundation vice-president of development, confirmed the mock bricks were removed as part of the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital’s renovation. She said people had been picking away at the sheet over the years and it was starting to look run down. “Only two letters were left where it said ‘Buy a brick,’” she said. Ms. Paterson said all donor recognition has been taken down throughout the hospital, but not out of disrespect and not forever. Hospi- tal staff members are discussing ways to pres- ent the donor names in a new, more modern fashion to coincide with the hospital’s rede- velopment. “We’re looking at new ways to recognize all our donors,” she said. “Past, present and future is what we’re looking at.” Ms. Paterson said she’d be happy to get input from Mr. Galloway on replacement ideas, and wanted to remind residents they can stop in the foundation office at any time with ques- tions or to provide input. “I encourage people to call and come and see us,” Ms. Paterson said. “We like to hear stories. We like to get feedback.” The office has been in a temporary location throughout the renovation and can be found in a trailer on the south side of the hospital.

Do your kids ask you that question? Is your answer a lesson in geography or history? Recently my family had the chance to experience a truly unique example of ‘com- munity’. Our children hosted a charity skating event in lieu of their annual birthday par- ties. They were blessed to receive the gen- erous support of family, friends and com- munity. The kids raised $3,175 for Camp Oochigeas. While planning the event, our friend and neighbour, Shannon, offered to take care of the thank you gifts and would have her friend make cookies. The gingerbread cookies were made by a Pickering resident, Alison. They were carefully made in the shape of a ribbon with a line of gold icing, symbolizing childhood cancer awareness. Each guest received two cookies in a beautifully wrapped bag with a ribbon and printed ‘thank you’ message attached. Ali- son produced more than 100 bags of these gingerbread cookies for us. When Shannon dropped off the goods, we were informed that Alison (a person we’d never met) had simply donated the whole lot. It goes without saying we were truly blown away by Alison’s random demon- stration of kindness. Her gift was a fantas- tic example of community, which we will never forget. We can’t thank Alison enough and want everyone to know she is a wonderful per- son, right here in our community. Mark and Paula Vigna Pickering FEDERAL ELECTION Time to leave the wilderness To the editor: I watched the Land over Landing debate with the sole objective of deciding on my candidate choice for May 2. I now realize why Mark Holland is viewed as a thorn in the side of the Conservatives. It has nothing to do with being a watch- dog for citizens; Mr. Holland is a blood- hound. He is aggressive without cause and what he characterizes as passion is just rowdy exuberance. He seemed angered for no reason and believes that volunteer- ing in the community since he was 12 gives him the inalienable right to be MP. Chris Alexander, the diplomat, was highly effective in fending off the Harper attacks. Although I did not hear all the plans he has for Ajax-Pickering, I had a good glimpse of how he will present himself in representing us; eloquent and respectful and presenting a refreshing departure from the standard party rhetoric. It seems the Conservatives will be returned to power. Ajax should therefore leave the opposition wilderness now and embrace representation within the ruling party. On May 2, I will dip my finger in blue ink and I will vote for the diplomat Chris Alex- ander. Andrew Frank Ajax *** To the editor: As another federal election has been cast upon us, it is apparent that many of us did not wish for one. Even though this will be our fourth time to the polls in the last seven years, and you may have lost interest in participat- ing, please remember this: we cannot change the past, thus we must all deal with an election. More importantly, remember that your right to vote has been paid for in blood. It is too easy for we Canadians to take for granted the many privileges we have. Not that long ago however, Canadians fought, bled and died to defeat tyranny and to preserve democracy, providing you with the right to speak your mind, to choose where to work, and yes, they even afforded you the right to choose what to wear. So, the next time you see a veteran, be sure to thank him or her for the many free- doms we all share, then be sure to cast your ballot in the May 2 federal election.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 27, 20116 AP & Being a ‘Special Friend’ and more in Durham Region Kids in the care of the Children’s Aid Society in Durham are looking for a few Special Friends. The social service agency, charged with protecting children within Durham Region, is actively seeking volunteers in the region’s communities to help bring some light and learning to its youngest clients. Special Friends with the Durham CAS are matched with children -- many of whom have endured more tragedy and sadness than most of us confront in a life- time -- and encouraged to provide posi- tive role modelling, build trust and self- confidence, and share in some of life’s fun little pleasures. The Durham agency is currently strug- gling with funding reductions that limit some of its program scope, but the respon- sibility to protect and nurture children in need abides. And volunteering for the CAS or any other similar non-profit agency in Dur- ham benefits not only those in need of mentors and positive role models, but the very lives of individual boys and girls, men and women. They strengthen the fabric of our com- munities, expose us to the sometimes brutish consequences of fate and circum- stance, and tell us something about our- selves. If you’re between the ages of 18 and 80 and have both the motivation and interest in bettering your community, we encour- age you to contact the Durham CAS and other community-based organizations that rely on the generosity of volunteers. With the CAS you can volunteer as one of the agency’s Special Friends, or lend your expertise at special events, on supervised family visits, driving children to necessary appointments, or even provide basic aca- demic tutoring. Other social service agencies and com- munity-based non-profits could use a hand stocking food shelves, or assisting youth groups, or helping to spruce up a neighbourhood park or playground. The Durham CAS currently serves approximately 1,000 children in the region. If you can help bring a smile to a young boy or girl’s face, if you can commit to bringing something positive to their lives, if you can spend time one on one with a child in need, the opportunity to act on it is now. Durham is blessed with a great depth and breadth of caring, concerned and compassionate citizens. Consider helping a child, directly or indirectly, through vol- unteering with the CAS or other Durham organizations. You’ll strengthen your community, give a young person a more positive outlook, and build towards success: yours and those whom you help. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 27, 2011What are the most important issues to you in this federal election? PAT ROGERS -- ‘Pension plans, environmental issues and health care.’ CHRIS BRADY -- ‘Health care.’ WENDY LEE -- ‘Environmental issues and small business growth are prominent factors.’ JENNIFER O’CONNELL -- ‘Infrastructure funding for municipalities and the environment. We used to be environmental leaders but we seem to be falling behind.’ WE ASKED... ...AT ROSEBANK PUBLIC SCHOOL I don’t think our dogs want us to move. We’ve just put the place up for sale and my wife and I -- well, OK my wife -- has worked hard to make the place look pris- tine. And it does. It’s showcase-ready inside and out. But the yard is a different story. The nor- mally abundant and breathtakingly var- ied gardens are doing their best to come along. But the dogs are not helping. Over the years, we’ve had a lot of dogs in this house and they all to one degree or another leave their mark on the backyard. Dogs do that. But it’s never been anything that the natu- ral greening power of nature has not been able to erase. It’s a different story with these two mutts. The big one seems to think our efforts to save the plant life are some sort of a game, the rules of which appear to be ‘whoever can leap over and put the most poop in the fenced-off area wins’. I knew we were losing the contest when I heard my wife crying out from the sliding glass doors ‘He’s crapping on my vinca!’ No husband ever wants to hear that. The other miscreant is a nine-month-old Victorian bulldogge puppy. But for all intents and purposes she may as well be a lowland gorilla; sitting for hours in the lush vegetation of the garden, happily gnawing on whatever plant is clos- est at hand. She looks more like a giant panda than a dog. And although slow and lumbering, her capacity for carnage is staggering. She sin- gle-handedly turned a gorgeous, mature hydrangea into something you’d find on the desk of a Japanese businessman. You can shout at her all you like to, and you never get anything but that indignant look of ‘What?’ that all bulldogges seem born with. The two of them are also either part bea- ver or Amish or perhaps both, as they have a remarkable penchant for finding any stray lumber and dragging it into the yard for a little recreational carpentry. I don’t know where the stuff comes from. But I suppose if a dog is clever enough to leap a four-foot-high fence and defecate on a vinca plant with the accuracy of a smart bomb, I shouldn’t be surprised when he shows up with the odd two-by-four. You can give them chew toys until you’re blue in the face, too. But apparently there’s nothing as satisfying as destroying a living thing. I’m just waiting for the rhubarb to come in. The book says it’s supposed to be toxic to dogs. Doesn’t say anything about gorillas or pandas though. Frankly, my money’s on the dogs. Anyway, the upshot is that the yard is coming back, slowly. But meanwhile it looks a little rough. If it rains for a spell and the two of them decide to play a little ‘catch me if you can’ or ‘keep the two-by-four away from the other guy’ or even a quick game of ‘panda tag’, the place can quickly turn into some- thing that looks more like the Ypres salient than a lovely backyard. Those, of course, are the days when you have a showing. Yippee. Then again who knows? There’s got to be a First World War buff out there looking for a house. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Kids write the darnedest things I love kids. I love being around them and I love listening to what they think. For the past month we have been running a contest asking students in grades 4 to 7 what they would do if they could be prime minister for just one day. Some kids sent in their own entries while teachers in some schools used the con- test to get their kids writing and the entries flowed in. I spent a good part of my Easter Sunday judging them and here is a small sample of what kids would do if they were prime min- ister. Charities were big. The Hospital for Sick Children, animal shelters, groups fighting cancer, all would get more money. Smok- ing would be outlawed -- a great idea -- and Canada would do more to help people liv- ing in Japan and Haiti. Some students said schools would be a target. Some would close them, others would only let them open for three hours a day and one young writer said classes should be held outside. Hopefully just in the summer. One young student would spend the day shopping in New York City and give his mom $1 million while another went the opposite route and said all MP salaries, including his own as prime minister, would be cut. Houses would be built for the homeless and food would be handed out to those who are hungry. Another imaginative mind said he would hold a day to honour past prime ministers with a parade, confetti and a 10-feet tall by 13-feet wide cake. One of my favourite images was a stu- dent who suggested if you pet a dog tied to a school fence, and it wasn’t your dog, you would have to write an essay as punish- ment. Then there was the student who said he wouldn’t do anything because Canada is great the way it is. A nice thought but I’m not sure how many adults would agree. Watch for the winners in this week’s issue. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom.

It means friending, follow- ing, tweeting and putting up their best front on popular social media pages. The power of social media was clearly evident on April 6, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper visit- ed Ajax where Conservative Chris Alexander is trying to unseat Liberal Mark Holland in the Ajax-Pickering rid- ing. That morning, the Liberal war room released what was described as “outrageous new comments” from Mr. Alex- ander at an Ajax poverty forum. The press release said Mr. Alexander claimed there is no poverty in Canada. The comments weren’t exactly new, as they were part of a pre-election poverty forum in Ajax reported on by the News Advertiser and the Toronto Star, and in their full context they weren’t outrageous either because it was clear to those who attended that Mr. Alexander was talk- ing about the type of poverty experienced in third-world countries, which he said has been eliminated in Canada. As members of the national media began tweeting the attack clip, Alexander supporters were quick to respond, sharing longer versions of the clip which not only includ- ed an angry woman’s verbal flaying of Mr. Alexander, but Mr. Holland as well. The quick response, via social media, mostly nullified what could have been a straight-up scan- dal dominating the news on the day of Mr. Harper’s visit. Although Mr. Alexander withstood that one attack, he is trailing in the overall social media battle with Mr. Hol- land, who is by far the most active Durham politician of social media regularly posting on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. He laid the groundwork before the election, engaging local residents through social media as part of his con- stituency work. Now that the election is in full swing, Mr. Holland has 870 likes on his Facebook fan page, more than 3,500 friends on Facebook and more than 1,700 followers on Twitter. More importantly, his Facebook wall is open to the pub- lic with lively debates occurring on a daily basis and Mr. Holland frequently responding in comment threads as opposed to simply pushing out posts for others to com- ment on. Mr. Alexander is also active through social media, quickly catching up with 1,100 Facebook friends and also regularly posting videos on YouTube, especially when prominent Conservatives such as Stockwell Day and Tony Clement have popped in for a visit. He trails, how- ever on Twitter, where he counts just 256 followers and the debate on his Facebook page is somewhat less active than Mr. Holland’s. The NDP’s Jim Koppens and the Green Party’s Mike Harilaid also use social media as part of their cam- paigns. In other areas of Durham, in most cases the frontrun- ners in the election are hanging back while their oppo- nents embrace social media in an effort to take them down. Though he doesn’t post often -- the last time was March 22 -- and doesn’t open his wall to comments, Whitby- Oshawa MP and current Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s Facebook fan page has 1,590 likes. His personal Facebook page has just 49, seemingly hand-picked friends. Among his opponents, the Green Party’s Rebecca Har- rison leads with 433 Twitter followers while the NDP’s Trish McAuliffe is tops on Facebook with 576 fans. Both women are heavy social media users for their campaign, and Liberal Trevor Bardens also has a modest presence. In Pickering-Scarborough East Liberal incumbent Dan McTeague’s fan page wall sees steady chatter from fans, but there are no contributions from Mr. McTeague him- self. His Twitter account seems to be the most popular among Durham politicians, with more than 3,000 fol- lowers, despite the fact that he hasn’t tweeted since 2008. Most of his tweets are related to gas prices. Among his opponents, Green Party candidate Kevin Smith has embraced multiple social media platforms, blogging, tweeting and posting on Facebook. The NDP’s Andrea Moffat leads with 839 followers on Twitter and almost 1,800 Facebook friends and Conservative Corne- liu Chisu also has a modest presence on social media. Meanwhile in the Durham riding, it seems anti-Bev Oda sites are more popular on Facebook than the Con- servative MP is. The inactive Bev Oda for Durham group has just 42 members while the Fire Bev Oda fan page has 339 likes. Her opponents have a much stronger social media pres- ence. The NDP’s Tammy Schoep and Green Party’s Ste- phen Leahy all tweet frequently, as does Liberal Grant Humes who leads the pack with 283 followers on Twitter and more than 500 Facebook friends. In Oshawa, incumbent Colin Carrie has just under 1,000 friends on Facebook while Liberal opponent James Morton has 1,022. The Green Party’s Gail Bates has about 200 members in her Facebook group and the NDP’s Chris Buckley has just over 100 fans. Mr. Morton also has more Twitter followers with 2,875 compared to 576 for Mr. Carrie. Both men regularly tweet. With so many politicians logging on, residents can test the waters and see how responsive they’ll be in Ottawa based on how well they do connecting with voters via social media.

The shoes are being collected through BioPed’s goodytwoshoes foundation, which was founded in 2010 and has since collected gently worn footwear from across the country and donated them to charitable organizations. “Our partnership with the Salvation Army is a natural extension of the goodyt- woshoes mission. In closing our clinic doors on Dignity Day, we hope to open countless doorways for those individu- als who do not necessarily have access to adequate footcare and footwear,” Robin Schleien, president and CEO of BioPed said in a press release. So until May 18, the Pickering and Oshawa locations will contain a bin for the shoes for Dignity Day during operat- ing hours. “We need to have a good support- ive shoe to be able to do our walks, to do everyday activities,” Ms. Paymaster said. She noted 50 per cent of the clients at her clinics have foot problems due to wearing poor footwear, either from lack of support or not having the right size of shoe. So the BioPed employees will ensure the people receiving the shoes are matched with a pair that fits them properly. BioPed will also donate a lot of its old inventory that hasn’t been worn at all. “Our suppliers as well are donating insoles and socks there,” Ms. Paymaster said. She added the two locations have received generous shoe donations so far, but seem to be lacking in men’s shoes. “We want to make it a real big success because footwear is so important,” Ms. Paymaster said. The stores are located at 1725 Kingston Rd., Unit 25 in Pickering and 1250 Taun- ton Rd. E. in Oshawa. The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York have jointly initiated a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) to identify the preferred solution for addressing the future capacity limitations of the existing outfall at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).

Agency needs more volunteers TARA HATHERLY newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The children are our future, so volunteers at Durham Children’s Aid Soci- ety are helping children in Durham Region gain the skills they need to become positive adults. Through the organization’s mentoring pro- gram, children in CAS care are matched with a dedicated volunteer who becomes a child’s Special Friend. As a Special Friend, a volun- teer spends time weekly with a child, taking them out into the community and engaging them in fun activities that help build confi- dence, trust, self-esteem and social skills. Jessica Schmid is a Special Friend to nine- year-old Kyle, who has been in CAS care for most of his life. Kyle, a Grade 4 student, was born in Oshawa and still lives in Durham Region. Kyle and Ms. Schmid meet once a week to hang out and have fun. By being consis- tent and showing up on time for their week- ly meetings, Ms. Schmid is teaching Kyle to trust people and their relationships with him. By being an unpaid volunteer, she is show- ing him that someone cares about him solely out of the goodness of their heart. By expos- ing him to different activities in the commu- nity during their visits, she is helping to build his confidence, self-esteem and social skills. Ms. Schmid recently began a career as a child and youth worker for Youthdale Treat- ment Centres. The 25 year old graduated with a degree in criminology from UOIT in 2009, after graduating with a degree in soci- ology from the University of Waterloo in 2007. She has been volunteering with Kyle and Durham CAS for over a year now. “I just always knew that I loved working with children,” she said of her career and vol- unteer choices. “Children need role models and mentors, and they need to live happy lives.” Kyle and Ms. Schmid do all sorts of activi- ties together, including playing board games, riding bikes, go-karting, rock climbing and bowling. Recently, she took him snowboard- ing and taught him how to ride the slopes. He was nervous at first, but with Ms. Schmid’s support, he built up the confidence to try out the sport and loved it. “We’re just kind of having fun together,” Ms. Schmid said of the time she spends with Kyle. “I’m a relationship that he can count on. I’m someone that’s going to be there for him and he knows that.” Their relationship also gives Kyle a sound- ing board for his thoughts. Through spend- ing time with a child in care, volunteers help provide valuable insight into how the child is coping. Children in care go through a lot emotionally, while dealing with major changes in their lives, and may not always be willing to open up to their social work- ers or foster parents. Having someone there to just listen to their thoughts means a lot to children, said Dawn Ashford, co-ordinator of volunteer services for Durham CAS. “Every person on earth just wants to be loved and feel special and that they have a unique place in the world, and I think that’s what the volunteers do,” Ms. Ashford said. “They’re the one person involved in the child’s life solely for that purpose. Without the volunteer, we wouldn’t have that one individual person whose only role is to do that.” For a child in care, having a relationship they can count on is crucial to rebuilding their sense of self, said Jacqueline Garrett, Kyle’s children’s services worker. “It’s a huge part of their lives,” Ms. Garrett said of the mentoring program. “Having a Special Friend dedicated strictly to one of our children in care means a lot to a child in care. Their confidence increases. Their sense of identity and self increases. They feel that they belong somewhere in the world and that someone just accepts them for who they are, and doesn’t judge them for their past or what’s going on in their life,” she continued. “They’re a kid again, they can just relax and have fun.” Durham CAS currently has 135 volunteers between all of the agency’s programs. While Special Friends are sorely needed, volunteer opportunities are available to help with spe- cial events, supervise family visits, provide tutoring, drive children to appointments and more. The agency’s board of directors are also volunteers. The Special Friend pro- gram is offered to children of all ages, and to parents who need help adjusting to having a child in care. Successful volunteer candidates must be 18 or over, with no criminal record. Candi- dates must also submit a driver’s abstract and sign an oath of confidentiality. A reduction in government funding forced Durham CAS to cut 31 staff positions last year. Now, more than ever, volunteers are crucial to ensuring children are getting the help they need, said Ms. Garrett. Interested volunteers can contact Ms. Ash- ford for more information at dawn.ashford@ durhamcas.ca. Durham CAS receives government fund- ing, but also runs several programs for which funding is not provided. To help fund these programs, donations can be made to the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation.

ADVERTISEMENT 2 Please join us to discuss how to improve transit service on Highway 2 (Kingston Road) in Pickering and Ajax Highway 2 is Durham Regions primary transit corridor. In recognition of transits important role in the Region, the Province of Ontario has committed funding to implement the first stage of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Highway 2. On April 30 and May 3, Durham Region will host information centres to discuss potential roadway improvements designed to enhance transit service along Highway 2 in three transit priority opportunity areas in Ajax and Pickering (see map below). Improvements may include curbside bus only lanes, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, mixed traffic lanes, or a median transit way. The public information centres will be arranged in an open house format providing information on the study, the transit vision for the corridor and future opportunities to get involved. This study is being undertaken in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. If you have any questions or comments about these upcoming events or about the study in general, please contact: David Dunn, Project Co-ordinator, The Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department 905-668-7711 ext. 3422 or david.dunn@durham.ca Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, unless otherwise stated in the submission, any personal information included in a submission will become part of the public record.

Robert Fraser is the newest member of the Durham Regional Police Services Board, having been appointed to a four-year term by Regional Council. The owner of Fraser Ford, Mr. Ford is a founding member of the Durham Regional Police Appreciation Din- ner and Awards Night. Since its inception since 2003, the event has raised more than $400,000, which has gone to a number of successful community policing programs. It may not be enough to retire, but Kenneth Courtney of Bowmanville and Wes Walk- er of Pickering are a pair of happy fellows these days. The co-workers split $94,951 in the March 5 LOTTO 6/49 draw. “At first we thought it was $99,” Walker told OLG staff. “We didn’t believe what we were seeing. Does that say what I think it says? We are very excited.” Mr. Walker added the two play 6/49 for the same reasons as everyone else -- to win and retire. Retirement may not be in the plans, so the winners each plan to pay off some debts and tuck some away for their children’s education. Durham College has received $200,000 in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engi- neering Research Council of Canada, which the institution will use for research in renew- able energy. The funding is over two years and is through the College and Community Innovation Program. Three Durham schools are the environmen- tal envy of others. Sunset Heights Public School and Gertrude Colpus Public School, both in Oshawa, and J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax are recipients in the 2nd annual Green Apple School Program, an ini- tiative of food-retailer Metro Ontario. Each school receives $1,000 in grants to use in pro- moting a healthier environment. A donation to the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology will keep the entrepre- neurial spirit of David S. Simmonds alive. Mr. Simmonds’ Pickering-based company, Len- brook Corporation, made a donation to the school to establish the David S.

COMMUNITY Ajax, Pickering students on Niagara U’s dean’s list Have you heard? durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 27, 201117 AP DURHAM -- April is Oral Health Month, and Durham Region is reminding residents oral health is not limited to just the teeth and gums. The Region’s health department recommends regular dental checkups, as oral cancer is hard to identify visu- ally. “Oral cancer is a very serious disease and the sur- vival rate has not improved the way it has for other can- cers,” says Dr. Patricia Abbey of the health department. “Research has shown that oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world and can affect the gums, the bones of the face and jaw, the tongue, the lips, the floor and roof of the mouth, as well as the throat.” Statistics indicate 75 per cent of all oral cancers are related to alcohol and tobacco use and, depending on the amount consumed, the risk of oral cancer is six to 15 times greater for those who use both substanc- es. “Historically, oral cancer rates were higher among men who were six times as likely to get oral cancer as women,” Dr. Abbey noted. “However, the rates among women are increasing as today, men are only two times as likely to get oral cancer as women. This rise in the risk for women is mostly attributed to increased smok- ing habits.” Ninety per cent of oral cancers occur in people between 60 and 70 years of age. However, recent stud- ies show that oral cancer can occur in adults younger than 40 years old. According to the health department, oral cancer rare- ly causes pain and is often not diagnosed until already advanced. CANCER Durham Region promotes Oral Health Month Warning signs that can help in early detection of oral cancer include: sores on the face, neck, or mouth that do not heal in two weeks; swelling or bumps on the lip, gums or other areas in the mouth; white, red or dark patches in the mouth; bleeding in the mouth not related to injury that doesn’t improve with better brushing and flossing; numbness, loss of feeling or pain in the face, mouth or neck; a change in voice or a feeling something is stuck in the throat.

DURHAM -- Local cancer patients can now check appointments, track their symptoms and find community support programs with the click of a mouse. Lakeridge Health and the Central East Regional Cancer Program recently launched a new website to connect can- cer patients with information from the comfort of their homes. Once patients receive a unique ID num- ber and log-on password from cancer centre staff, they are able to access infor- mation on theirmedical appointments, complete symptom screening surveys, provide patient feedback, watch videos about chemotherapy and radiation treat- ment and connect with community sup- port organizations. “In the future we’d like to expand the patient portal to include information such as diagnosis and treatment specific information and potentially even access to their own electronic health record,” said Kathy Fraser, manager of informa- tion technology at the cancer centre. Patients can access the secure website by visiting www.lakeridgehealth.on.ca and clicking “R. S.

Sarah Taylor, who joined the Lady Railsplit- ters after a stellar career at Ajax High School, was named the team’s MVP after scoring 10 times and adding 11 assists in 17 games to lead her team and finish third overall in the confer- ence. The junior midfield/forward also led the team in scoring last season as a sophomore. But as a freshman, the only way the Ajax resident could earn any playing time was on defence. “I was always a forward,” she says of making the adjustment in her first year at the NCAA Division II school. “It was my first game on defence that I have ever played and that was in university. After a year of playing defence, they decided that they’d try putting me where I nor- mally play and I haven’t gone back to defence.” In that first season in 2008, Taylor started all 18 games, scoring twice and adding an assist. Moving to forward the following season, she blossomed, starting 17 of 18 games and scoring 13 goals to go along with four assists, leading her team in points. This season, at the annual awards banquet, as a list of accomplishments were being read out in conjunction with the team MVP award, it started to sink in they were describing her. Her only thought as she made her way to the stage to accept the award: ‘Please don’t fall. Please don’t fall.’ “My heart was pounding pretty fast. I had to make sure I didn’t fall down in my heels,” she jokes. “They talked about the accomplishments over the year and you can figure out fast it’s you because everyone starts looking at you. “It was really good and nice to get that.” Her season helped earn her onto the 2010 All-South Atlantic Conference second team, National Soccer Coaches Association of Amer- ica All-Southeast Region second team and the NSCAA Scholar All-Region second team. She was also South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week in September after scoring four times in a pair of wins. Accolades are nothing new for Taylor, who is a former Ajax High School Athlete of the Year, and a two-time Ajax News Advertiser Face of the Future in Grade 8 at Southwood Park and Grade 12 at Ajax. After starting on the pitch at the age of four with the Ajax Soccer Club, Taylor worked her way through the ranks, and began correspond- ing with Lincoln Memorial in her junior year of high school. As it seemed like a good fit, she enrolled in kinesiology, with a minor in health. On the academic side, she has been on the dean’s list all three years. Looking ahead to her senior year, winning the conference tournament and moving on to nationals is the goal. “Next year could be my last season of soccer, so I want to go out with a bang. I want to leave it all on the field,” she says. Following graduation she hopes to catch on as a graduate assistant somewhere in Nashville to complete a master’s degree. Of course, soc- cer will play a big role in her life moving for- ward, including returning home for the sum- mer to help out at camps with the Ajax club. “I’m not done. I don’t think I could live a day without soccer just yet.” SUBMITTED PHOTO HARROGATE, TENNESSEE -- Sarah Taylor (left) of Ajax was named the MVP of the wom- en’s soccer team at Lincoln Memorial University. She led the Lady Railsplitters in scoring this season with 10 goals and 11 assists. AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Cory Joseph’s tenure at the University of Texas may be short-lived. The Pickering native and Long- horns’ freshman point-guard is going to test the waters at the next level, having declared for the 2011 NBA draft. Joseph, and two other Texas teammates -- sophomore swingman Jordan Hamilton and freshman forward Tristan Thompson of Brampton -- made the announcement last Friday. Despite the declaration, because Joseph hasn’t signed with an agent yet, he will main- tain his NCAA eligibility, leaving the door open for him to return to Texas for a sophomore cam- paign. Joseph plans to use the next lit- tle while to get a better gauge on just where he stands in the eyes of NBA scouts and front office personnel. “I want to use this two-week period of time to get a better feel of what my draft status would be this year,” Joseph, who started all 36 games for Texas this season, said in a press release on the Longhorns’ website. “I will fin- ish my classes here, hopefully go through some workouts for NBA teams and personnel and use feedback from those workouts to make the best decision.” As a first-year player this past season, Joseph was named to the USBWA freshman All-Amer- ica Second Team, All-Big 12 honorable mention and the Big 12 All-Rookie Team. He led the Longhorns in assists (3.0 per game), steals (37 total), three- point field goal percentage (.413, 52-of-126) and minutes played (32.4 per game), finished fourth on the team in rebounding (3.6 per game) and tied for fourth in scoring (10.4 points per game). Like Joseph, Thompson to this point has opted against hiring an agent and will go through the same feeling out process over the next couple of weeks. The draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 23 at The Pru- dential Center in Newark, home of the New Jersey Nets.

HOCKEY Silver for Wakefield at Worlds ZURICH -- For the third straight time, Canada will have to settle for silver at the world women’s hockey championships. On the strength of a goal from Hilary Knight 7:48 into the first overtime period, the United States prevailed 3-2 to claim the IIHF World Women’s Championship for the third time in a row. Pickering’s Jennifer Wakefield played a key role in the gold medal game for Canada, setting up Rebec- ca Johnston for the tying goal with 3:56 left in reg- ulation. She had signifi- cant ice time in the game, including during the four- on-four overtime period. Newcastle defenceman Tara Watchorn was also a member of the Canadian squad, but saw her playing time reduced as the game neared an end. Wakefield ended up with a goal and two assists in the five games Cana- da played, and was a +4. Watchorn picked up a pair of assists and was a +1. Canada opened the tour- nament with a 12-0 win over host Switzerland, and followed with victories of 7-0 over Kazakhstan and 2-0 over Finland to win its pool and advance straight to the semifinals. Another win over Finland, 4-1, sent Canada to the final. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 27, 201124 AP OHL HOCKEY Andreoff recognized as top forward at awards banquet Oshawa Generals hand out the hardware OSHAWA -- After a standout sea- son, Christian Thomas received some much deserved recognition during the Oshawa Generals’ end- of-season awards banquet. The third-year forward ended the regular season with 54 goals and 99 points, good enough to lead the club in both categories, while finishing second in the OHL goals and sixth in points, For his efforts, he took home the Three Star Award, which is based on a point system for the number of first-, second- and third-star hon- ours received during home games this season, the Marc Savard Top Scorer Award and team most valu- able player honours. Boone Jenner was the only other General to win multiple awards as he captured the Heart of a General Award from general manager and head coach Chris DePiero and the Most Valuable Teammate Award. Jenner, a likely first-round pick in this summer’s NHL entry draft, finished the season with 66 points in 63 games. Jenner was also called upon to present the John Tavares Rookie of the Year Award which was given to fellow draft-eligible forward Nick- las Jensen of Denmark. Jensen had a solid season in his first go- around in North America, tallying 29 goals and 58 points. The Bobby Orr Defenceman of the Year Award was presented to captain Calvin de Haan as the like- ly bookend on his Generals career. Eligible to return as an overager next season, it’s quite likely the New York Islanders, who draft- ed de Haan in the first round of the 2009 draft, will have the Carp native start his professional career somewhere in their organization next season. One player expected back as an overager is Pickering’s Andy Andreoff, winner of the Eric Lin- dros Top Forward Award. Andreoff had a breakout season for the Generals, finishing second to Thomas in both goals (34) and points (75) this season, while lead- ing the team with a plus-34 rating. Other awards handed out went to Lucas Lessio, Anton Zupancic and Scott Valentine. Lessio, like Jenner and Jensen, will be drafted into the NHL this summer, and he skated home with the Bruce Melanson Scho- lastic Player of the Year Award. Zupancic captured the Greg Cas- bourn Memorial Award, an hon- our donated by the Toronto Police Service in the name of former offi- cer and billet Greg Casbourn, who passed away earlier this year. The winner is chosen based on Cas- bourn’s values of fairness, respect, reliability and teamwork. Valentine, meanwhile, received the Red Tilson Community Ser- vice Award. Also during the banquet, the Generals said goodbye to defence- man Tony DeHart, goalie Peter Di Salvo and forward Alain Berger, their three overage players this season. TERRY WILSON / OHL IMAGES OSHAWA -- Pickering’s Andy Andreoff was selected winner of the Eric Lindros Top Forward Award for the Oshawa Generals. He had 34 goals and 75 points this season. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 27, 201125 AP 177 Pickering Pkwy. Next door to Cora’s and Extreme Fitness177 Pickering Pkwy.

Lampricide will be applied for approximately 14 hours from designated application points as noted on the accompanying map. Treatment is tentatively scheduled during the period of May 01-03, 2011. The lampricide selectively kills lamprey larvae and may also cause mortality to other fish if under stress of spawning, or weakened by disease or other environmental factors. Although the lampricide is not harmful to humans or other animals at the concentrations used during the treatment, any use of stream water for irrigation and drinking should be suspended for a 24 hour period during this treatment period. mai 2011 Le centre de lutte contre la lamproie marine de Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO), propose de traiter environ 34 km de la riviere Rouge avec le lampricide TFM afin de réduire le nombre de larves de lamproie marine. Le lampricide sera appliqué pendant environ 14 heures à partir de points d’application désignés tel qu’il est indiqué sur la carte d’accompagnement. Un traitement est proposé pendant la période du 01 au 03 mai 2011. Le lampricide tue sélectivement les larves de lamproie marine et peut également provoquer la mortalité d’autres poissons s’ils sont en train de subir le stress du frai ou s’ils sont affaiblis par la maladie ou d’autres facteurs du milieu. Bien que le lampricide ne présente aucun danger pour les êtres humains ou les autres animaux aux concentrations utilisées durant le traitement, il est recommandé d’interrompre toute utilisation de l’eau du cours d’eau aux fins d’irrigation ou de consommation pendant la période de 24 heures du traitement.
