Home My WebLink AboutNA2011_05_04 REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- From Afghanistan to Ajax, former ambassador Chris Alexander is about to start a new chapter in a life of public services, this time as the Conservative member of Parlia- ment for Ajax-Pickering. On election night, Mr. Alexander was part of the Conservative tide turning the GTA blue, beating Liberal incumbent Mark Holland by 3,200 votes and booking his seat in Ottawa. The day after, Mr. Alexander said he woke up to the feeling that something historic had happened in Canada. “It doesn’t belong to just one candidate or just one party, it is a new direction for the country and I think we all felt that last night,” he said, adding it was one of those rare elections where all of the pundits got it wrong. “It’s brought change, the Bloc in Quebec is essentially no more and that is a major gain for Canadian unity and our govern- ment has a real majority mandate to govern.” Moving forward, Mr. Alexander said he’s ready to get to work.

A Conservative majority means the party can move forward with platform promises such as a Rouge Valley national park. For his part, the issue of generating high- quality local jobs will be a focus, as will gas prices, something that came up over and over during the course of the campaign. “I’m sure lots of new MPs will have ques- tions on this score,” said Mr. Alexander. Toronto-born and Oxford-educated, Mr. Alexander served in Canada’s diplomat- ic corps first in Moscow and then became Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan when he was just 34 years old in 2003. He went on to serve as deputy head of the UN mission there before deciding to come back to Can- ada with his wife Hedvig Alexander to start a family. The couple’s daughter Selma turned two during the campaign, stealing hearts as she scampered around the campaign office in her ladybug-print Wellingtons. At Mr. Alexander’s victory party at the Annandale Golf and Country club, riding association president Paul Egli described meeting Mr. Alexander for the first time 20 months ago. “You gotta picture this, there’s about 20 of us in the room, we’re all meeting Chris for the first time and we have to decide if this guy has really true Conservative genes,” said Mr. Egli. He added that after question- ing Mr. Alexander, the group deliberated and at the end of the process, the riding associ- ation decided to offer him the nomination. On Monday night, they had no regrets. “For many of us Chris represents the ide- als for which we decided to get involved in politics in the first place, ideals like honesty, integrity, fiscal conservatism and a belief in hard work that produces achievements and a better life for all Canadians,” said Mr. Egli. As a new resident of the riding, Mr. Alexan- der faced a tough challenge against a well- known and well-liked incumbent in Mr. Holland, who had served local residents for 14 years, first on Pickering City Council and then as an MP in Ottawa since 2004. To win the riding, Mr. Alexander knocked on thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of doors. “I’m told there’s 47,000 homes, con- dos, apartments, farms that have doors in this constituency, we’ve knocked on every one as a team and I’ve knocked on a big pro- portion of them.” On his way to victory where he increased the Conservative vote in the riding by 6,300 votes compared to the last election, Mr. Alex- ander was bolstered by scores of local vol- unteers as well as out-of-province support- ers, including campaign manager Colleen Mason who came from Alberta to head up the team. He drew strong support from Durham’s newcomers and also second-generation Canadians, said Shashi Bhatia, chairwoman of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Association of Durham Region and an Alexander volun- teer. She said he was particularly popular with members of the Afghan community because of his service in that country. “Chris having been an ambassador, obvi- ously he knew the language and knew the culture well,” she said. Ms. Bhatia, a Pickering resident, also said she felt like members of the South Asian community made informed choices, sitting down, listening to the candidates and read- ing about their platforms as opposed to vot- ing based on who the leader of the party was. Mr. Alexander has been much buzzed about in the national media with many pre- dicting that with his foreign experience he’s cabinet bound, but he declined to speculate. “I’m absolutely not expecting anything, I’m delighted to be a member of Parliament which is a huge responsibility in and of itself and a new one for me.” DURHAM -- Durham Region is a sea of blue fol- lowing Monday night’s federal election. Across the board, Conservative candidates both new and old cleaned up in Durham with most doing so by a significant majority. In most cases, the second-place finishers were NDP candidates. Below are Elections Canada’s preliminary results: • PICKERING-SCARBOROUGH EAST The race was tight in Pickering-Scarborough East with more than 1,200 votes separating the winners. Conservative newcomer Corneliu Chisu took the seat away from long-time Liberal incumbent Dan McTeague with 40 per cent of the vote, or 19,220 ballots cast. Mr. McTeague finished with 37.6 per cent support, or 18,053 votes. The NDP’s Andrea Moffat received 18.7 per cent of votes, or 8,972, while Kevin Smith of the Green Party received 3.6 per cent or 1,746. • AJAX-PICKERING In Ajax-Pickering, newcomer Conservative Chris Alexander captured 44 per cent of the votes with 24,797. Liberal incumbent Mark Holland was a close second, capturing 38.3 per cent or 21,569 votes. The NDP’s Jim Koppens was third with 14.7 per cent or 8,284 votes. Capturing a small percentage of voters, the Green Party’s Mike Harilaid got 2.9 per cent with 1,621 and the United Party’s Bob Kesic took 0.1 per cent, with 71 votes. • WHITBY-OSHAWA In Whitby-Oshawa, incumbent Jim Flaherty held onto his seat with 58.4 per cent of the vote, or 37,530. The NDP’s Trish McAuliffe received the second-highest number of votes with 22.3 per cent or 14,310. Liberal candidate Trevor Bardens grabbed 14.1 per cent or 9,066, while the Green Party’s Rebecca Harrison received 4.9 per cent or 3,143, and Libertarian Josh Insang received 0.3 with 198. • OSHAWA In Oshawa, incumbent Conservative Colin Carrie took more than half the votes, with 51.3 per cent or 26,039. Chris Buckley of the NDP got the second most votes with 37.9 per cent or 19,220, while Liberal James Cooper Morton was a distant third with 7 per cent or 3,536. Other finishers include the Green Party’s Gail Bates with 3.2 per cent or 1,631; Libertarian Matthew Belanger with 0.5 per cent or 260, and Marxist-Leninist David Gershuny with 0.1 per cent or 61. • DURHAM In Durham, Conservative incumbent Bev Oda received the majority of votes with 54 per cent or 31,431 votes. The NDP’s Tammy Schoep followed with 21.6 per cent or 12,551 votes cast, while the Liberal’s Grant Humes received 17.9 per cent support with 10,389 votes. The Green Party’s Stephen Leahy received 5.4 per cent or 3,138 votes; CHP Canada candi- date Andrew Moriarity got 0.9 per cent or 498; and Libertarian Blaize Barnicoat scored 0.3 per cent or 188 votes. • HALIBURTON-KAWARTHA LAKES-BROCK In Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock, incum- bent Conservative Barry Devolin scored 60 per cent of the votes with 35,191. NDP’s Lyn Edwards finished second with 22.1 per cent or 12,935, while the Liberal’s Laura Redman received 12.9 per cent, or 7,539. Green Party’s Susanne Lauten received 5.1 per cent or 2,973 votes. HOLLAND CONTEMPLATES FUTURE Following a tough result and a tearful concession, unseated Liberal incumbent Mark Holland has some decisions to make about his future. The day after losing his Ajax-Pickering seat, Mr. Holland said he’s received job offers from both the private and non-profit sector, but he’s going to take some time out to reflect and spend some time with his family. “There was a tidal wave out there, we did our best to hold up against it, I’m proud, we did much better than ridings that were considered safer, but at the end of the day it’s soul searching time for the Liberal party.” Mr. Holland said he plans to be part of the rebuilding effort and says this isn’t the end of his political career. “I’ll run again, when and where I don’t know ... but this is my passion,” he said, adding that overall he was feeling grateful for the opportunity to serve people of Ajax and Pickering over the years and also for the hard work from his campaign volun- teers.

The incident began a few minutes after midnight when a Durham officer in an unmarked cruiser pulled over an eastbound car he’d clocked at about 130 km/h near Liberty Street. While speaking to the driver the officer noticed the odour of pot wafting from the vehicle and searched it. The cop found vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana valued at $28,900. Aziel Bailey, 22, of Audley Road in Ajax, is charged with pos- session for the purpose of trafficking and breaching bail condi- tions. Garage break-ins, thefts in Ajax-Pickering DURHAM -- A spate of break-ins has prompted Durham police to warn homeowners to make sure their garages are securely locked. Between April 11 and 25, break-ins have been reported by residents in Ajax and Pickering, police said. Most often the thieves are forcing side doors or garage doors; in some instances, remote door openers in nearby vehicles have been used to gain entry. Items stolen have included tools and sports equipment. In one instance, entry was gained to a home and purse and wal- let were stolen, police said. In Ajax the break-ins occurred in the Westney Heights neighbourhood, bordered by Rossland Road, Westney Road and Ravenscroft Road. In Pickering the break- ins took place in the Dunbarton area, bordered by Altona Road, Finch Avenue and Liverpool Road. Police are asking residents to make sure their garage doors and vehicles are secured at all times and report any suspicious activity. Canine unit called in as Ajax break-in suspects scatter AJAX -- A police dog helped cops make an arrest after sus- pects scattered from the scene of an early-morning break-in in Ajax Tuesday. Durham officers went to a Rotherglen Road address at about 2 a.m. after a resident reported several youths removing property from a garage. As cops arrived, several males ran off in different directions. A canine team tracked one suspect through residential backyards, at one point helping recover a discarded knapsack that contained a GPS unit stolen from a vehicle on the garage. The pursuit ended when a suspect was found hiding under some brush on a nearby front lawn, police said. An Ajax boy, 16, faces several charges. Third suspect in Oshawa murder arrested OSHAWA -- A third suspect in the 2010 murder of an Oshawa man is behind bars. Adam Squires, 26, made a brief video appearance in an Oshawa bail court Tuesday morning and was remanded in custo- dy. Charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder and robbery, he has another court appearance scheduled later this month. Mr. Squires, of Oshawa, is the third person to be charged in the death of 32-year-old Derrick Brooks, who died of injuries sus- tained during an attack at his Ritson Road North rooming house in the early morning hours of June 25, 2010. A second man sus- tained serious injuries in the incident. On Saturday, Durham police identified Mr. Squires as a sus- pect in the homicide. He was arrested in an Oshawa apartment without incident Monday, police said. Also appearing in bail court Tuesday was Chanelle Motschenbacher, 27, who is charged with robbery and acces- sory after the fact to murder. On April 18, Durham homicide detectives charged Christopher Lee Dwyer, 26, of Oshawa with second-degree murder and attempted murder. POLICE BRIEFS PICKERING -- Investigators have released images of suspects wanted for the theft of two high-end cameras from a Pickering shop last month. Four people -- two young men and a middle-aged man and woman -- are suspect- ed in the theft at the Henry’s Camera Store on Kingston Road at about 2 p.m. April 16, Durham police said. Security video caught one of the men crawling under a counter, snatching two Nikon cameras, and putting them in a bag carried by the woman, police said. The middle-aged couple left the store first, with the two males leaving shortly after them.

Facilities in Oshawa, Port Perry, Brock to accept items DURHAM -- The ballots have been cast, the votes are in and now comes the after- math. One issue for all candidates is collecting and disposing of all those election signs that dotted the landscape during the cam- paign. Durham Region is again offering to take all the signs for recycling, rather than have them dumped in a landfill. The Region had an election sign recy- cling program following the municipal election last year and about 6.28 tonnes of signs were diverted from landfill with the program. Starting May 3, the program gives elec- tion candidates, residents and municipali- ties the chance to recycle signs. All signs made of corrugated plastic, plastic film or paperboard will be accept- ed. Wooden stakes and wire mounts are also taken. The signs can be dropped off at any of Durham’s three waste management facili- ties. Signs can drop off for free if only signs are in the load. If mixed with other waste, regular disposal fees will apply. The facilities are open Tuesday to Satur- day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are located at: • Brock waste management facility, Sideroad 17, Brock. • Oshawa waste management facility, 1640 Ritson Rd. N. Oshawa. • Port Perry waste management facility, 1623 Reach St., Scugog.

The annual competition honours editorial excellence among its member newspapers and this year Metroland Media Group’s Dur- ham Region newspapers took home three first place awards, two seconds and two thirds. Once again durhamregion.com was named the Best Web Site among community news- papers in Canada. Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt attributed the win to a lot of hard work put in by all her staff including Online Content Editor Bruce Froude who keeps the website “running like a well-oiled machine.” “Our news team has thoroughly embraced online publishing. It makes us a 24-7 news operation and that is very exciting,” Ms. Burghardt said. Other first place awards went to Sabrina Byrnes and Crystal Crimi for their Victory in Europe coverage last year. The pair followed 900 students from Durham Region over to the Netherlands to cover the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe celebrations. Posting daily updates to durhamregion.com, once back at home a special section was designed and distributed in the newspaper. The coverage earned them a win in the Best Community Service category. The other big win came in Best Photo Lay- out for This Week’s ‘Here for the Season’, a four-page special report on migrant workers in Durham Region. Mrs. Burghardt gave cred- it to the photography team of Ron Pietroniro, Ryan Pfeiffer, Sabrina Byrnes, Jason Liebregts and Mandi Hargrave for the hard work and dedication they put into covering this assign- ment. Designed by Ms. Burghardt, the report followed a group of migrant workers for sev- eral months as they toiled in the fields to earn money for their families. “The concept was the brainchild of our Manager of Multi-Media Content, Ron Pietroniro.” she said. “Ron and his team found a local farmer willing to allow our photographers full access to the farm and the workers over several months. Supported by a feature story by Jennifer Stone, Here for the Season is an outstanding piece of work.” Other awards won by Metroland’s Durham Region newspapers at the CCNA convention: 2nd Celia Klemenz, Best Sports Photo , Uxbridge Times-Journal for her Sept 23, 2010 baseball photo, ‘He’s in there’; 2nd Whitby This Week - Best Photo Essay, Sabrina Byrnes for her images of Oshawa’s first female fire- fighter.

HUMOUR Cartoon brought a laugh To the editor: Re: Editorial cartoon, durhamregion. com, April 21, 2011. ‘Ears’ to the wonderfully funny cartoon featuring a chocolate Easter bunny. No all such cartoons prompt a sponta- neous chuckle. Bravo to cartoonist Lamontagne and your selection of it for publication. R.M. Hues Oshawa SERVICE Above and beyond the call of duty To the editor: Needless to say Wednesday, April 28 created all kinds of issues with blowing recycling items all over the city. However, I want to make one comment about one of the recycling drivers at the corner of Rossland and Ritson roads. This young man stopped his truck on Rossland by the church on the north- east corner, fetched a recycling container which had blown over, spreading its con- tents all over the grass boulevard, then picked up all of the items on the grass and dumped them in his truck. Then, he walked the recycling container up the hill to the church door and placed it out of the wind. To me, this is well beyond any expecta- tion and deserves compliment. Thank you to the driver, whoever you may be. Excellent work. Ron Thertell Oshawa CHILDREN Judge not, lest you be judged ... To the editor: Re: ‘Witness to cruelty’ letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, April 22, 2011. I’m a mother of two young children, and I can tell the letter writer that sometimes moms have bad days. We are not perfect -- despite our best efforts. The writer seemed to pass strong judg- ment on the woman without even knowing what the situation was. It’s true that she may not have made the best decision, but how is a letter to the newspaper decrying her parenting abilities helpful to her or her son? Shopping with a young child is tough and sometimes impossible. Have a little grace with the woman. She doesn’t need your guilt and condem- nation; she probably has enough of her own. Cindy Mills Oshawa DEVELOPMENT Think big on downtown and it will pay off To the editor: Let’s think big regarding the proposal for a new hotel in the downtown core. There sits on Simcoe Street the Canadian Auto- motive Museum which contains the finest collection in Canada. While privately owned, imagine the hotel connected with the museum, its collection housed in a venue truly worthy of its pedi- gree. Oshawa would become a destination for car enthusiasts from all across North America. Major universities seek to acquire arti- facts and manuscripts to enhance their research data and prestige. With its Centre for Automotive Excel- lence already established, UOIT would be a logical partner for the museum. Think big. John Beirness Oshawa A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has achieved his coveted majority with a strong mandate to implement his govern- ment’s agenda; Canadians served notice they’re weary of instability, the coalition culture that gripped Ottawa, and the per- ceived political opportunism of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff. In the end, Durham voters joined their fellow Canadians in agreement: the time is now. Here at home, returning incumbents and newcomers have an opportunity to renew the compact among voters in their ridings and usher in a new era of local represen- tation. In uncertain times, taxpayers look to their representatives for decisive lead- ership, to build hope that better times lie ahead, to see that order and good govern- ment serve us all. From east to west and north to south in Durham, Conservatives have been given their best opportunity in nearly a genera- tion to build on those important themes. MPs would do well to be more frequently visible in their ridings, working on behalf of constituents in lockstep with big poli- cy and legislative decisions. Collectively, they should be able to wield their influ- ence in the House of Commons more effectively to serve the region. Moving expeditiously on the Darling- ton nuclear site rebuild would represent a strong start and send a clear message to Durham voters that the federal govern- ment is not only listening, but acting on their behalf. In the meantime, Durham can expect strong fiscal management, a workable deficit-reduction strategy, an improved business investment climate and, perhaps most importantly, a period of political sta- bility. These are the foundations on which this majority must build. But, the Conservatives must also learn from their mistakes if they are to continue building trust and demonstrating strong governance. To that end, the government must aban- don its iron grip on the flow of informa- tion and trust Canadians, just as it asked voters to trust them on May 2. It must adhere to and honour the tradi- tions of Parliament. It must provide strong leadership and a responsive government for all Canadians. Finally, it must work to connect: people and services, east and west, left and right. The blue tide that rose Monday in Dur- ham must now work to lift those who made a clear choice. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 4, 2011What is the best thing about living here in Pickering? KAREN FAUX -- ‘The convenience of everything. You are in the hub of everything.’ LORRAINE PYE -- ‘You can still enjoy the big city but not live in the big city.’ CHARLENE SCHEUNEMAN-- ‘It has a sense of community. You can run into someone you know.’ WENDY MOHAMMED -- ‘More space and greenery and not a concrete jungle.’ WE ASKED... ...AT WILLIAM DUNBAR PUBLIC SCHOOL I’m starting to forget phone numbers. This is not, I hope, the tip of some early onset memory disorder but rather an interesting and possibly alarming sign of the times. For starters, I don’t actually use the phone that often anymore. And when I do I have only to hit a speed dial button or speak someone’s name into my phone and the dialing (and remembering) is done for me. GPS is doing the same thing to our mental road maps. No one really has to memorize a route anymore when satellites will instantly guide us to wher- ever we’re going. Sometimes through a cornfield, but you will get there. Secondly, e-mail is just overwhelming- ly my communication method of choice. Yours too, judging by how few times you’ve called me lately. E-mail is quick, easy and you never get a busy signal or a machine. You also never get a person. And let’s face it, sometimes that’s the best part. Actually speaking to another human being can get messy. There’s all that nuance, tone and inflec- tion. I can pause for hours in the middle of writing an e-mail and no one is the wiser. A gap of silence in the midst of a live con- versation however, even for a second or two, is immediately pregnant with sim- mering, untold subtext. Why is he not say- ing anything? Did I offend her? What’s the problem? Hello? Are you still there? Plus, receiving an e-mail, however pedestrian, is a lot less work than listening to a real live idiot. I can speed read and delete digital tripe. There’s no such button available for a live encounter. But I also don’t want to trivialize e-mail. It can be as thoughtful, deliberate and beautiful as good letter writing and there are times that I love it for exactly that. A chance to really express, in carefully chosen words, exactly what I want to say. However, I would hazard that this is far more the exception than the rule. For most of us, e-mail is a cheap, safe short- hand: OMG...u r a jrk...LOL. There’s very little commitment with e-mail. It’s like tacking a note to someone’s windshield and driving away. Not so a phone call. The moment that other person picks up you are authentically and intimately con- nected. And everything, every little pause, breath and sigh is sending infinitely more infor- mation than mere words ever could. And that can be scary. When you call someone, you have to show up. It takes courage. Which is why most of us e-mail. We tell ourselves it’s because we’re too busy, but are we really? I think we’re just scaredy-cats. And that’s what concerns me. I’m not terribly wor- ried, mind you. The pendulum will swing back eventually. We are humans, after all, and humans crave real connection, love and intima- cy as much as air, water and sunlight. We shrivel and die without it. So yes, when I realized I was starting to forget phone numbers I was a little alarmed. But not, as I said, because I thought I was suddenly reaping the harvest of years spent eating lead paint chips or living under hydro lines. But because I think for- getting phone numbers is the canary in a much darker coal mine. Forgetting peo- ple. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. NEIL CRONE Phone calls are connections but e-mails are just words RYAN PFEIFFER/ BEHIND THE LENS WHITBY -- Children’s author and storyteller Robert Munsch was part of a Family Literacy Day event at Robert Munsch Public School in January. Family Literacy Day is an annual national awareness initia- tive promoting the importance of reading and engaging in other lit- eracy-related activities as a fam- ily. I have taken pictures of Robert Munsch performing on a few dif- ferent occasions. It’s pretty tough not to get a good shot of him since he is so animated when he tells his stories. I think this shot works well as part of a package along with some wider shots showing more of a sense of place. JOANNE BURGHARDT Trio of federal leaders warms my heart The home page of our website, durham- region.com, looked eerily familiar this past Sunday. It’s not very often that the leaders of all three major political parties visit Durham on the same weekend but there they were: Stephen Harper, Michael Ignatieff and Jack Layton campaigning in the eastern reaches of the 905. It brought to mind a front page of Oshawa This Week from June 1981. It was Fiesta Week and federal leaders Joe Clarke (Pro- gressive Conservatives) and Ed Broadbent (New Democrats) were in town for photo ops. The plucky editors at Oshawa This Week took full advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau by running photos of Clarke and Broadbent on the front page, as well as a tiny head- shot of the Liberal leader, noting the PM’s absence. With increasing frequency, Durham Region is the focus of national attention and for a journalist, there’s nothing bet- ter. We always have something interest- ing to report on. As the epicentre of Cana- da’s automotive industry, and home to two nuclear generating stations, the stories have been both good and bad, but never dull. When Ed Broadbent was leader of the NDP, one of the most popular Canadian politicians of his time, it was a glorious time to be a reporter. Even when, as a rookie reporter, I didn’t know a darn thing to ask him during his visit to Oshawa in the 1980 federal election campaign. More and more often Durham Region is home to a key race in a federal election drawing, as it did last weekend, the eyes of the nation. And it doesn’t hurt at all that Jim Flaherty has both sought the provincial leadership and holds one of the country’s most powerful positions as federal finance minister. Throw in a little institution called the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology and this is a really great place for an editor to call home. -- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt recently celebrated her 30th anniversary as a journalist, having had her start as a crime reporter for Oshawa This Week. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 4, 20118 P City receives $15,000 to build urban oasis KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A rather bare corner in Pickering will soon be lush and green thanks to a $15,000 grant awarded to the City. Pickering was one of 23 recipients of the 2011 TD Green Streets program, run in part- nership by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Tree Canada. The funding will go toward a small arboretum that will contain 26 different species of native decidu- ous and coniferous trees and shrubs, located at Finch Avenue and Rosebank Road, cur- rently called Sequin Park. “The staff here are excited that it’s going to go ahead and are looking forward to working with the com- munity and making it come to fruition,” said Arnold Mostert, Pickering’s co-ordinator of landscape and parks development. The City had been preparing for this grant for the past couple of years with help from the Altona Forest Stewardship Committee. They figured it would be a great legacy to leave for 2011 Pickering’s bicentennial. “We’re currently doing our urban forest study and strategy as well,” Mr. Mostert said. “We’re trying to get the public to buy into importance of trees in the urban area.” The grants were open to municipali- ties, business improvement areas and First Nations communities across Canada. Mary Desjardins, executive director of the Friend of the Environment Foundation, said out of a stack of more than 100 applications, Pick- ering’s stood out because of the community involvement aspect. “They’re actively involved in local schools and community organizations in the plant- ing of the trees and in the ongoing care and maintenance,” she said. Mr. Mostert said plans include labeling all of the species and to have a sign at the park explaining them. What can’t fit on the sign will go online. Also, since there are 26 schools in Pickering, Mr. Mostert hopes each will care for one of the 26 trees. Ms. Desjardins said plans include encour- aging schools to use the space for scientific studies, as an outdoor classroom, where the students can learn about trees such as red maple and white birch, and native shrubs such as winterberry. She added the arboretum can also be a tool for homeowners to visit and get ideas on the types of trees and shrubs they’d like to plant on their own properties. The City hopes to set up a planting date sometime in mid-September, and Mr. Mos- tert said a name change might be in order, possibly calling it Bicentennial Arboretum. The TD Friend of the Environment and Tree Canada teamed up about a year ago to create the project. TD has provided more than $54 million to more than 19,500 grassroots envi- ronment and wildlife projects across Cana- da since 1990. Tree Canada, a not-for-profit charitable organization, engages Canadian companies, government agencies and indi- viduals to support planting trees, greening schoolyards, and other efforts to promote the benefits of trees. ENVIRONMENT Pickering brings trees to the city TREE TRIVIA The following can be found at treecanada.ca/pub- lications/trivia.htm: • Studies show that hospital patients with a window view of trees recovered significantly faster and with fewer complications than comparable patients without access to such views. • Windbreaks of trees have been found to reduce residential heating costs 10 to 15 per cent. • Trees intercept rainfall and reduce run-off, there- by functioning as retention/detention basins. • Each healthy tree can reduce airborne dust par- ticles by as much as 7,000 particles per litre of air, thus a healthy tree is a free-standing air condition- er and purifier. • You need about 500 full-sized trees to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by a typical car driven 20,000 kilometres per year. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- The City of Pickering has received a grant of $15,000 from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Tree Canada to put an arboretum containing 26 different species at the cor- ner of Finch Avenue and Rosebank Road. That’s good news to Arnold Mostert, City landscape and parks development co- ordinator. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 4, 20119 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 UpcomingPublicMeetings A Celebration 200 Years in the Making!

He emphasized the possibilities for the man- ufacturing industry, and said local post- secondary schools such as Durham Col- lege and the Universi- ty of Ontario Institute of Technology can encourage this type of business. Mr. Chisu took the seat with 40 per cent of the vote. He received 19,220 votes, compared to Mr. McTeague’s 37.6 per cent of the vote, with 18,053 ballots cast in his favour. Mr. McTeague has been an MP since 1993 when he represented the Ontario riding. In 1997 and again in 2000, he was re-elect- ed in the newly redistributed riding of Pick- ering-Ajax-Uxbridge, and in 2004, 2006 and 2008, he was re-elected to the new riding of Pickering-Scarborough East. “Nobody (expected these results) any- where across the country,” Mr. McTeague said in a phone interview from his results party at the Legion branch 606 in Pickering Monday night. He said the poor show of support for the Liberal party would mean a “significant and substantial building curve” for the party. NDP candidate Andrea Moffat, also a can- didate in the 2008 federal election, just about doubled her votes this time around. She received 8,972, which made up 18.7 per cent of the vote. Green Party candidate Kevin Smith secured 3.6 per cent of the vote with 1,746 of residents in Pickering-Scarborough East vot- ing Green. Mr. Chisu plans to consult his constituents to learn which issues he’ll first attack on Par- liament Hill. “It is a lot of responsibility and I feel very much responsible to achieve their interests,” he said. As for a possible Pickering airport, Mr. Chisu said it’s still just an idea and a decision has not been made. He said it’s in the hands of Transport Canada, which has to put for- ward a business case and be able to prove whether it’s something to go ahead with or not. “It is difficult to say ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ when you don’t have data to prove it,” he said. Mr. Chisu pointed out the riding’s great railway possibilities, and said investing in rail transportation is an ideal way to alle- viate traffic congestion. And although the 400-series highways are provincial responsi- bilities, he said there are innovative possibil- ities to tackle the issue of traffic congestion and ways to take advantage of the two paral- lel highways. The new MP said the three levels of govern- ment should work together to find solutions, and added they should co-operate with each other as much as possible. “We need to work together for the benefit of the citizens,” he said. Mr. Chisu, 62, lives just inside the Scarbor- ough border and has been a resident of the riding for more than 20 years. He’s married to a lecturer at the University of Toronto and his daughter is a lawyer. He’s fluent in Eng- lish, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian, and has a working knowledge of French, Russian and German.

Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother's Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother's Day many people know today dates back a little more than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother's Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom's gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother's Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won't soon forget. "Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." - Lin Yutang, Chinese writer "I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States of America "Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author "A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest." - Irish proverb "All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his." - Oscar Wilde, Irish poet "If I was damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine." - Rudyard Kipling, in his poem "Mother O' Mine" Famous Quotes for Mother’s Day May 8 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 4, 201113 AP BESTBEST INDIANINDIAN RESTAURANTRESTAURANT BESTBEST INDIANINDIAN RESTAURANTRESTAURANT 14 Y E A R S 14 Y E A R S IN A R O W !

B LACROSSE Ironheads strike often in opener Jr. B lacrosse team blasts Orillia 16-4 BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ron Reed will take 19 more just like the first one. The Ironheads Jr. B lacrosse coach couldn’t hide the smile on his face after his team’s season and home opener at the Ajax Com- munity Centre on Sunday after- noon, when it turned in a domi- nating performance en route to a 16-4 crushing of the Orillia Rama Kings. A 20-minute stretch from late in the first period to late in the sec- ond provided the difference, as the Ironheads turned a 3-2 lead with four minutes to go in the first into an 11-2 advantage with four minutes to go in the second. It was cruise control the rest of the way. “It was a terrific way to start,” said Reed of the 20-game regular season. “I like the way the team is slowly coming together. From our perspective, this is the kind of start we wanted. “We’ve been working hard at breaking out of our own end. We’re using our transition game. Defen- sively we want the guys communi- cating and tough and they did that today. Offensively we’re moving the ball better. The guys are cut- ting through the middle and going to the dirty places that they have to go to be effective.” The Ironheads threw a balanced offensive attack at a bad Orillia team, who are winless in five out- ings to start the season and have been outscored 84-18 in the pro- cess. Eight different Ironheads got in on the scoring, with George Jimas leading the way with four goals, followed by three from Brock Levick to go along with two assists. Craig Espinho and Mike Beirgard also had five-point after- noons with two goals and three assists each, while Eric McDer- mott also scored twice. Singles were credited to Mark Hilker, Pat Gregoire and Dillon Strachan. It took just 35 seconds for the Ironheads to get the offence roll- ing, carrying leads of 5-2 into the second period and 12-3 into the third. They managed to score four shorthanded goals and added another on the power play. “We’re very pleased with the performance and hopefully we can grow on this for next week,” said Reed. The Ironheads are back at it again with a pair of home games. Saturday they host Oakville at 8 p.m., followed by Newmarket on Sunday afternoon at 2. THE SCOOP The Ironheads started Kadyn Pack in goal for two periods, giving local prod- uct Dylan Cowman of Ajax the third period. Dustin Murphy started for Oril- lia, but was pulled with 17:50 to go in the second in favour of Brett Kloepfer, who played the rest of the game ... Also getting in on the scoring with assists for the Ironheads were Gage Board with three, Tyler Roche with two, and sin- gles by Stevey Douitsis, Julian Gar- ritano, Dylan Hutton, Josh Kennedy. Goalies Pack and Cowman also picked up an assist each ... Eric McDermott of the Ironheads tangled with Brandon Swailes in a second-period fight. Canada loses 3-2 in overtime to United States BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- To say that the world champion- ships had a silver lining for Jenn Wakefield would be true on a couple of accounts. Canada had to settle for the sil- ver medal after a heart-breaking 3-2 overtime loss to the USA at the IIHF championship game in Zurich, Switzerland. The bright spot for the Pickering resident was her play, earning plenty of ice time as the tournament pro- gressed, including late in the gold medal game as Canada frantically tried to tie it to force overtime. It was a good tournament, with a disappointing end. “I felt I did well,” she said last week from Boston University after arriving back at school for the final couple of weeks. “I broke into the lineup and got some good ice time over the tournament and in the final. There’s always room for improvement.” With Canada trailing 2-1 to the United States late in the third period, Wakefield earned an assist on Rebecca Johnston’s tying goal during a power play with 3:56 remaining, sending the game into overtime. Despite the late-game heroics by Canada, the US scored 7:48 into overtime to win gold. “As time was running down, everyone was anxious,” said Wakefield of the game. “We all believed we were going to get that tying goal. We had confidence and momentum heading into the overtime. The play was pret- ty even, but I thought we had the advantage. They got a lucky break on the goal. “It was a heart-breaking loss for sure because we were pretty con- fident going into the overtime period.” Wakefield, a 20-year-old for- ward, finished the tournament with a goal and two assists in five games. She also had a +4 rating, and had 23 shots on goal, fourth highest on the team. “I definitely would have liked to contribute more but I feel like I got shots and generated a lot of opportunities. Again, you can look at that but we didn’t get the outcome we wanted.” As expected, Canada rolled through to the gold medal game, beating Switzerland 12-0, Kazakh- stan 7-0 and Finland 2-0 in round- robin play. In the semis, Canada beat Finland again, this time 4-1 for a chance at gold. Off the ice, the trip was great with temperatures between 25-30 Celsius everyday. “It was a vacation with hockey and no school,” said Wakefield. “You can’t ask for much better.” Wakefield plans to spend the summer in Boston attending some classes and preparing for her senior year at Boston Univer- sity. She wasn’t the only hockey playing member of the family that enjoyed a measure of suc- cess this season. Sister Alannah, a defenceman with Wilfrid Laurier, was named to the CIS all-rook- ie team. She finished the regular season in second place in OUA scoring for defencemen with six goals and eight assists.

BASKETBALL Durham City Bulldogs take bite out of Ontario Cup championship Novice team wins final by one point DURHAM -- The Durham City Bulldogs Novice Central team topped off its sea- son in fine fashion, defeating a pesky SBA squad in the finals of the Ontario Cup. The tournament was played over a week- end and included eight teams from all over Ontario. The Bulldogs completed pool play with a 3–0 record, with wins over Caledon 30-19, SBA 38–26 and North Toronto 29-17. In the semifinal round, the Bulldogs out- played a feisty Toronto Triple Threat squad and won the game 27-20 to earn a ticket in the final. This provided the Bulldogs with a rematch of their second game against SBA. The players from SBA came out and com- peted hard the entire game but fell short to a more powerful Bulldogs team 21–20 in an exciting finish. The championship game provided spir- ited, entertaining basketball and was not decided until late in the game. The Bull- dogs triumphed with the win and over- came a slow start to their season back in October. The championship run was a team effort the boys can be proud of, capping off the season magnificently for coaches Wayne Williams, Kevin Browne and legendary former Pickering High School coach Ron Parfiit. Team members are David Baker, Dante Brown, Enoch Kabongo, Kellon Bynoe, Jor- dan McKenzie, Darius Brown, Rhys Anst- ess, Vaughn Roberts, Mikale Browne, Kela- iah Williams, Quentin Hassell, Keean Tate and Navjeev Nagra. The team is managed by Marie Baker. SUBMITTED PHOTO DURHAM -- The Durham City Bulldogs Novice Central team knocked off SBA in the finals of the Ontario Cup. Pickering native sent to canvas 2:42 into round one TORONTO -- Fighting on the biggest UFC stage event, Sean Pierson’s second bout didn’t go quite as planned. Quite the opposite. The 35-year-old Pickering native was knocked out 2:42 into the first round of his fight with fellow welterweight Jake Ellen- berger during UFC 129 at the Rogers Cen- tre in Toronto Saturday night. Standing in the octagon in front of numer- ous friends and family members, along with a sold-out arena in what was UFC first pay-per-view card in Ontario, Pierson and Ellenberger opened up the undercard bouts. After wowing many with his effort in a unanimous-decision victory over Matthew Riddle last December in Montreal, Pierson appeared tentative and overmatched by the younger Ellenberger, who needed just nine strikes to send Pierson to the canvas and end the match. The final blow was a left hand from Ellen- berger that landed hard on the side of Pier- son’s head. For Ellenberger, a 26 year old out of Omaha, Nebraska, the win is his fourth consecutive in the UFC. On Monday, the fallout from the entire card -- which also saw Canadian George St. Pierre defend his welterweight title with a win over Jake Shields -- continued. Every fighter on the card was handed at least a two-week medication suspension, which bans them from competition for that time frame. Others, like Pierson, will be sidelined longer. Pierson and six others received 60-day suspensions, while Ellenberger will be out 45 days due to a possible hand injury. Due to the knockout, Pierson will also be subject to additional testing before being cleared to compete again. MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Pierson knocked out at UFC 129 AJAX -- The Ajax Skating Club is hold- ing its annual general meeting and a spe- cial bylaw ratification meeting on Monday, May 16th, at 6 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre in the HMS Room-South.

BUDAI, Stephen J. - Suddenly at home on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at the age of 56 years. Beloved Husband and Best Friend of Brenda. Proud Dad of Stephen Ross (Jessica) and Kristie. Sadly missed by his faithful compan- ion Charlie. Cherished Son of Margaret and Son-In-Law of Clara Watson. Predeceased by his Father Joseph and Father-In-Law Ross. Dear Brother of Mary Rieck (Joe) and Brother-In-Law of Ross Watson and Claire Watson-Picard (Fernand). Loving Uncle of Jessika, Ilona and Kevin (Bojana). Stephen was an active member of Ajax Minor Hockey as a Coach and Volunteer. He will be deeply missed by all. Visitation will be held at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax 905-428-8488 on Friday, May 6 from 12 noon - 3:00 pm. and a Cele- bration of Stephen's life will be held at Carruther's Creek Golf and Country Club (650 Lakeridge Rd.

A Guest Book may be signed on- line at www.mceachnie-funeral.ca LYNCH, Michael Joseph - Michael was born on July 27, 1930 in Millstreet, County Cork Ireland, lived in Ontario since 1955 and passed away April 28th, 2011 at Ajax-Picker- ing Hospital to join his beloved 'sweetheart' Violet Lynch. He was a proud member of the RAF (Royal Air Force), Masonic Lodge and Country Lane Gold Club, and was a long term employee of the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario as a safety construction inspector. He leaves behind his loving daughters Noreen Barnard (David) and Kelly Lynch; sisters to Mary Astins, Karen Timleck (Gerard), Pat Pipher-Henry deceased 10/8/10 (Cecil), Sheila Gerrior (Jim) and fond- ly remembered by their children; Jean in Toronto, Jason and Jeromy in Barrie (Sheila); Colleen, Kenny and Cindy in London (Pat); David in Edmonton (Mary); Katie and Warren in Whitby (Noreen); Cassidy, Terry, Corbin and Spencer in Bradford (Kelly); extending to their children and their children's children. Special mention wished by Michael Lynch to be expressed to (that good looking - just like me) great grandson, Talan Justin Michael Shiels was treasured beyond words for all the love, joy and laughter he brought to him over the past year. His loss is felt across the ocean waves to Ireland, England, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. We extend our sympathy to his sister Nettie Buckley and family; sister-in-law Peggy Lynch (late brother Andrew) and family; his late brother Jerry Lynch's family; his late brother Danny Lynch's family; and to Patrick Lynch and his family. Appreciation and grati- tude to the entire Barnard family (Noreen, David, Katie and Warren) for their total devo- tion of time, energy and love in the caring and comfort of Michael Lynch. It was not a duty or burden of obligation but the love of a daughter and family to a dad. A special note of thanks to Dr. N. Baker and Dr. D. Nicholas of Ajax-Pickering General Hospital for their personal care and absolute dedication to dad's every need for the past ﬁ ve weeks.
