The event was held as part of Pride Week. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA PARADE A STEP FORWARD IN ACCEPTANCE, PARTICIPANTS SAY PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Oshawa's downtown was awash with colour on Sunday afternoon as Durham's first-ever Pride Parade marched its way through the streets. As many danced, held hands and waved rainbow flags in the air, their message rang loud and clear to anyone nearby. "There's something about power and lib- eration in a march," declared Pride Dur- ham member Roger Bannatyne, beaming with excitement. "It's a protest in a sense but a protest doesn't have to be negative. A protest can be in support of something and that's exact- ly what it is -- more voices, more faces and you can hear us coming." Beginning at the municipal parking lot at the corner of Queen and King streets, the parade proceeded east to Celina Street and south to Athol Street. Many community groups signed on to participate, including Dur- ham Regional Police, the Durham Children's Aid Society and the AIDS Committee of Durham. "The amount of people here and the support we're getting really represents growth for this commu- nity," said resident Shane Strass- burger. "Once Toronto got to the point where it was booming and there was Pride there, people from Dur- ham would go to Toronto so this is an amazing step forward for us. "We don't have to leave our own home to experience love and acceptance." Pride celebrations have been run- ning in Durham every June for the past seven years, but this year organizers were deter- mined to take them to the next level. A parade, overflowing with pride and excitement, was exactly what the group was looking for to push their message and cap off a week of festivities. "It's good for us to be out here so that people can't ignore the fact that we're here and that it's still OK," says Amber Young. "We're becoming a better soci- ety where more people are ready and open to support this kind of thing and I think it speaks for the City and how far we've really come that they would allow something like this to happen." Amy England, Regional Councillor for the City of Oshawa, said she was proud to be a part of the efforts to bring the event to Dur- ham. "It's a fabulous day for our humanity and the fact that we had little to no incidents shows how far Oshawa has come. I got goosebumps just watching." While many people showed their support by joining in the parade, others found a spot on the curb to enjoy the history-mak- ing event. "We're here to celebrate diversity in our family," said Nancy Teengs, watching the parade with her wife and two children. "We don't want to get in people's face or anything like that but there are gay people that live here and they need to be able to live proudly and peacefully."

At a planning and development committee meeting on June 6, Pickering councillors heard proposals for three of six neighbourhoods planned for the proposed Seaton development in the city’s north end. Neighbourhoods 17 and 20 would include mixed-use residential and employment lands, along with the nat- ural green spaces of the Seaton Natural Heritage Sys- tem. “The plan is to have mixed residential with commer- cial and retail, with a GO Transit route link from the Duffins Heights community and a link to neighbour- hood 20 through an internal road system,” said John van Nostrand of the provincial planning alliance. Located at the intersection of Brock and Taunton roads, neighbourhood 17 is expected to house a popu- lation of 6,773 by 2031, and offer 591 jobs. The estimate for neighbourhood 20, which is bisected by Brock Road and includes lands north and south of Hwy. 407 where it links up to Hwy. 7, includes 8,134 residents and 9,807 jobs by 2031. “We expect that uses will intensify and build up along the 407 corridor and become denser, so in the long run we’re looking to get 11,000 jobs altogether,” Mr. van Nostrand said. “This is the most unusual neighbourhood in the com- munity as a whole in that it has the most diverse mix of uses you’ll find in any of the neighbourhoods.” In addition to residential and commercial, neigh- bourhood 20 will also offer institutional uses in its cen- tre and will have a green road system, designed for pedestrians, linking two elementary schools and one high school. The proposed neighbourhood 21 would house most of the jobs for the community as part of the planned Pickering Innovation Centre. “This would be con- sidered generally as employment lands for the other neighbourhoods,” Mr. van Nostrand said. “There will be another transit station proposed right in the middle of this employment area. We expect 14,374 jobs to be accommodated when that area is built out by 2031 and further density should lead to an increase of about 600 jobs.” Councillor Peter Rodrigues questioned the veracity of the planner’s employment estimates. “I know we’ve called a number of these lands ‘employment lands’ and that’s great, but what ensures that these jobs will actually materialize?” Mr. van Nostrand said planners felt confident the estimated targets could be reached, and noted the bordering 407 corridor would be an attractive asset for employers. “With the 407 extension this is a major new corridor through the city, there are great sites here with great access to transit and connectivity with the south, and we’re going to market it that way,” he explained. “It’s not going to happen overnight, but this is an attractive area. We are fairly confident we can achieve these targets from an employment point of view and believe these numbers will happen over time.” Mr. van Nostrand also explained that both employment and residential build-up would be sequenced to align with each other, and that planners had learned much about the process from past density build-up along the existing 401 corridor. “We can certainly tie residential development with employ- ment development so both are in sync,” he explained. “There’s never been a case where either has stopped in the province, and I don’t expect it will, but both will be slowing down and speeding up. We learned a lot from the development of the 401 corridor, because there was nothing there at the time that corridor was built in the 1970s. I think we have a reasonable approach and we are very aware of the need to balance popula- tion with job growth.” The presentation was provided to councillors for informa- tion. The proposal will come back to committee for approval at a future meeting.

Pro-Bel Enterprises Ltd. plead- ed guilty on June 6 in the Ontar- io Court of Justice in Oshawa to one count each of income tax and GST evasion. The company was fined $266,904 for income tax evasion and $37,366 for evading the GST. The fine was paid immediately by the com- pany. Pro-Bel manufactures equip- ment used to clean windows and maintain the outside of large buildings. A Canada Revenue Agency investigation revealed Pro-Bel claimed a total of $533,807 in non-business related expenses on corporate tax returns for the 2002, 2003, and 2004 tax years. A corresponding amount of $37,366 was claimed on the GST returns of the corporation for the same period. As a result, the corporate tax returns filed on behalf of Pro- Bel understated federal income tax payable by $133,451, while the GST payable was underpaid by $37,366. The fine represents 200 per cent of the total income tax and 100 per cent of the GST evaded, and results in a total of $304,270 in fines. COURTS Ajax company pleads guilty to tax evasion AJAX -- Durham residents are invited to help celebrate 20 years of Habitat for Humanity ReStores at events in Ajax and Oshawa on June 18.

She now works at an addiction treatment centre, Bellwood Health Services. As part of her current job, she shares the benefits of exercise with people overcoming addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling, eat- ing and even sex. Some of the clients are also veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. “I see huge changes,” she said. What she’s learned now was not only through her kinesiology studies and time working in the field, but also through her own experience. A lifelong athlete, Ms. Lee had to take a break from school, and basically life, when she underwent rigorous treatment for Hodg- kin’s in her early 20s. “It was like my whole life was falling to piec- es around me,” she said. But she made sure to stay active, even if it was less vigorously than her days of running track or rowing competitively. “The treatment is very good but at the same time puts a lot of stress on your body,” she said. She found the exercise kept her cardiovas- cular system healthy and the blood pumping while going through her radiation and che- motherapy treatments, as well as reducing nausea and fatigue. “It’s beneficial both mentally and physical- ly,” he said. It’s amazing how different one’s attitude can change after going outside and getting physi- cally active, she said, which is a big benefit for her clients at the addictions centre. “It just makes you feel more alive,” she said. “You’re not isolated. You’re getting out and talking to people.” She said a big part of peo- ple overcoming addictions is practising self-care, and exercise is a big part of that. “You have to care about yourself to exercise regular- ly, and realize that you mat- ter,” she said. Her clients exercise just about every day, she said, and since most of them are getting treatment on their own accord, the results are quite positive. Exercise has become such an important part of her life, that Ms. Lee can’t imagine going without it. Her husband and kids have made it a part of their daily activities as well, whether it’s simply spending time outdoors or playing soccer. “We’re all aware of how important it is to be physically fit,” she said. WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com SAMPLE EXERCISE ROUTINE Ms. Lee said it is important to understand there are many different types of cancer, and the pro- posed program is recommended for people who are not currently undergoing treatment, pre- and post-radiation or chemotherapy. Most patients experience significant fatigue and/or nausea dur- ing the course of their treatment. Therefore, they will need to modify their exercise accordingly, such as resting the day of treatment and one or two days following. Before starting any new exercise program, it’s important for patients to speak with their oncologist. Monday: • walk for 20 minutes at a moderate pace • stretch legs and back Tuesday: • practise deep breathing for 10 minutes seated or lying back in a comfortable position, for exam- ple with a pillow under head or neck and under knees. • she recommends Mastering Breath Awareness, An MBA in Managing Stress by Pickering resident Larry Johanson.

HEALTH DATA Thousands who may not agree with lawsuit could be included in it To the editor: Re: ‘Who has my identifying information now?’ letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, June 6, 2011. The letter from Brian Sharpe clearly iden- tifies two major issues that should not be dismissed. 1. Someone gave supposedly confidential information -- names, addresses and med- ical information (the fact that they received the flu shot) -- to at least one third party (law firm). 2. As in negative billing, thousands of people are automatically included in an action, that, unless they take the positive step of opting out, are forced to be part of a lawsuit they did not ask for, did not agree to and do not want. Surely these are both a further serious erosion of rights and privacy and should be vigorously protested. Lloyd Hanna Oshawa SAFETY Family members, friends most often molest children To the editor: Re: ‘More must be done to protect children’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, June 6, 2011. Although I commend the writers who submitted this letter and their willingness to want to act on the issues of pedophilia against children, as a fourth-year crimi- nology student, and a college graduate in community and justice services, there is one crucial error that stuck out to me. The writers suggested that “parents should make sure that children are not left alone with an adult who is not a family member or trusted friend, because it can truly happen to anyone.” In fact, 85 per cent of the time children who are sexually molested are molested by their own family members (parents, sib- lings etc.) or by acquaintances (friends of the family). Very rarely are children molest- ed by random predators and it is important to take note of this fact and not be under the fallacy that trusted friends and family members would not molest children. The best thing that can be done to help prevent instances of child molestation is to talk to your child and warn them of the dangers that exist. Amber Lihou Whitby FEDERAL BUDGET There’s only one taxpayer To the editor: Re: ‘Durham Region praise for federal budget’, durhamregion.com, June 7, 2011. Does Region Chairman Roger Anderson think taxpayers are stupid? It doesn’t mat- ter whose hand it is -- federal, provincial, regional, municipal -- it’s fishing into the same pocket. Saying that the incinerator is economical because someone else is pay- ing for it is ridiculous because there is no “somebody else”, just us taxpayers. Wouldn’t it be better to put that money into health care instead of up in smoke? Louis Bertrand Bowmanville HEALTH We can’t outsmart nature To the editor: Our outrageous hospital germ infestation should come as no surprise. As a student nurse in the 1950s, then much later in the Oshawa General ER, our practice was to change into uniforms and hospital shoes before entering a ward, then reverse the process at the end of the shift -- reducing the number of outside bugs brought in and germs carried into our com- munities. Bugs also live on jewelry and in long, swishing hair. Over time, the life-sav- ing wonder of mass germ-killers deluded us; we got to thinking we could outsmart nature, that the indiscriminate use of high- powered scrubs would solve all problems -- superbugs were the inevitable result. We’re in a similar mess with pesticides. Nature always builds a better product. Pat Irwin Lycett Orono A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 15, 20116 AP & Pride put on full display in Durham Region They were loud and proud. Durham Region’s gay community held its first-ever Pride parade in Oshawa on Sunday, celebrating another collective step on the road to full acceptance here at home. The event was notable, not least for the fact it took place with a minimum of con- troversy or conflict and a maximum of pride and celebration, but also for the pal- pable, positive vibe that members carried with them throughout the parade. And it’s been a long time coming in Dur- ham. Though the region’s LGBQT (lesbian, gay, bixsexual, queer and transgendered) community has organized and participat- ed in Pride celebrations for the past seven years, 2011 marks the first parade. And it’s the parade that is the most visu- ally compelling, the biggest tangible cel- ebration of the pride members had on exhibit Sunday. The fact that the parade drew a sizable crowd also speaks to the gains being made by Durham’s gay community and the suc- cess of efforts to confront stereotypes, reduce intolerance and to acknowledge, openly, our differences. Just as members of the gay communi- ty in Durham were out celebrating with pride on Sunday, residents across the region can celebrate too. They can celebrate the liberating free- dom of the weekend’s Pride events. They can celebrate the gains made -- often at great personal expense -- by the gay com- munity here at home. They can celebrate the nature of the success the Pride parade symbolizes. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they can celebrate together with members of Durham’s LGBQT community. Now, the focus should turn to build- ing interest and awareness of local Pride events with a view to engaging the larger community, more local governments and businesses, community-based groups and social service agencies. With a strong effort, innovative ideas and energetic organizers we can cele- brate the diversity that exists in all of Dur- ham Region’s communities, and allow the gay community to celebrate loudly and proudly, right here at home. Sunday’s Pride Parade in Oshawa was a huge step for Durham’s LGBQT commu- nity as it continues to work towards its goals. Let us all join them on the journey towards full acceptance in our communi- ties. - Metroland Durham Region Media Group There’s a great old saying that goes something like, “A good friend will help you move ... a really good friend will help you move a body.” I’ve had a number of very generous offers to help with our move from a num- ber of very good friends. And I am certain that if I take any of them up on said offer, they will, in very short order, wish that it were, in fact, a body that we were moving. Any way you slice it, moving is a lot of work. Something you’d wish on your ene- mies ... not your friends. The act of packing up all of your belong- ings is made doubly diabolical by the knowledge that you’re only going to have to unpack it all in a matter of weeks. And I’m beginning to realize, as though this were a revelation to anyone living on the planet for more than a few days, that the process is very different for women than it is for men. For my part, I’ve become remarkably ruthless in my quest to downsize. To the point that my wife is considering install- ing surveillance cameras in the house. She knows that, left to my own devices, I would be tossing out, donating or selling three quarters of our belongings. Nothing is safe. Caught red-handed with an heirloom in one hand and the garbage can lid in the other, my only defence was “Well, when was the last time you used this Faberge Egg?” It’s bordering on mania, but I can’t help myself. Surely there’s something deeper going on here than just an urge to purge ... something anthropological. Perhaps men throughout history have endeavoured to lighten the family load periodically, always keenly aware of the dangers of becoming bloated with too much stuff. It’s very hard to flee from hostiles, after all, with your partner lugging her dead grandmother’s spoon collection. There’s ample evidence, in fact, that the Donner party could’ve avoided tragedy altogether if a certain someone hadn’t been adamant about bringing along three fondue sets and a crystal punch bowl, just because they were wedding presents. Men get it. They understand that a lean, portable household is a safe household. Take only the essentials; food, clothing, Xbox, war movies. I’m being facetious, of course. I’m not taking all of my war movies. I’ve rented a storage locker for the VHS versions. I also certainly don’t mean to paint my wife in a poor light. The honest truth is she’s actually show- ing much better judgment in all of this than I am. Were it not for her cooler head, the baby would’ve gone out with the bath- water long ago. As much as it pains me to admit it, we will, I suppose, require cutlery at the new house. And we may also want to have sheets on some of the beds. And what’s the point of purchasing a house with outlets if you’re not bringing some lamps along? So we forge ahead. There is a lot of truth to that old chestnut, after all. A good friend will help you move. I’ve tested her patience plenty these last couple of weeks, but thank God my wife is still my friend. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 15, 2011ONLINE POLL RESULTSONLINE POLL RESULTS HOT TOPICS:HOT TOPICS: ‘Please take a couple of minutes and vote for your favourite shelter.

Fluffy and cute, the ducklings were bustling through the reeds seeking food, but one little fellow seemed determined to start nest building as he latched onto a reed stalk. It was that one duckling doing some- thing a little different, and the way the sunlight illumi- nated him, complete with a catchlight in his eye, that made me choose this image as the keeper. To the editor: With all the responses to your paper in recent issues regarding this contentious issue, I don’t remember anyone offer- ing a possible solution that would bal- ance the troubled consciences of those who are uncomfortable with the idea of taking money from the representing law firm. Here’s an idea: How about taking that new-found money and giving it back to your favourite charity? This is just a real- location of government money to other much-needed areas. This practice is done by governments all the time. This being one possible solution, there is also one major concern I have and, curiously, there seems to be little atten- tion given to it so far. Why is it that it’s our present federal minister of finance, Jim Flaherty’s law firm, that is instigating this class action? The optics of this alone would suggest some kind of conflict of interest. Hoping this will be looked into more closely and go beyond any brush-offs by this law firm’s hired mouthpieces.

His and about 150 other Durham roof- tops are still without the solar panels peo- ple signed up for through Pure Energies, due to an ongoing and open-ended review by the Ontario Power Authority, which has left aggregators and their prospective clients powerless to move forward in making green energy. “So here I am in limbo,” said Mr. Lindsay, an Oshawa Kingsway Loop resident who signed up for Pure Energies’ rooftop solar system profit-sharing lease. The OPA review began in August 2010 to look at the role of aggregators in the Green Energy Act’s microFIT (feed-in-tariff) pro- gram, including that of Pure Energies, but 10 months later, it’s still not complete. “We built our business model based on this program,” said Chris Stern, vice president and co-founder of Pure Energies. Pure Energies began specifically to offer the profit-sharing lease program, and explained in great detail its business plan to both the OPA and the Ministry of Energy, Mr. Stern said. “They told us unequivocally that they loved it,” he said. Through the Pure Energies profit-sharing lease, people sign up for a 20-year contract in which the company installs, maintains and assumes any risks related to the rooftop solar panel systems. Pure Energies sells that elec- tricity back to the grid and splits the profit with the homeowner, who also gets to keep the solar system at the end of the contract. Under the microFIT program, people pro- ducing solar energy would receive 80 cents per kilowatt hour produced, a little less, 71.3 cents, if they did so through an aggregator, Mr. Stern said. The system Mr. Lindsay signed up for would produce 10 kw and make him $60 a month. But the lengthy review has put all that on hold for Pure Energies and its potential clients. As a result, Pure Energies has 10 Durham households actively participating in its program right now and 150 who want to join. If the Pure Energy hous- es in limbo were hooked up, they would create approximately 750 megawatt hours of clean electricity every year for 20 years, enough to power 150 houses, according to Mr. Stern. Under the microFIT program, there are 48 contracts executed in Durham Region, total- ling 321.172 kW (or 0.32 MW) of renewable energy capacity, according to the OPA’s Tim Butters. The majority of those projects are solar photo voltaic projects, anticipated to produce approximately 360 MWh of electric- ity over a year, he said. For Mr. Lindsay, the long-lasting review puts doubts into his mind about the serious- ness of Green Energy Act and its programs. “Without hearing from (the Ministry), it makes me feel it was the flavour of the day,” Mr. Lindsay said. “They’re not serious or committed to mak- ing it work ... you don’t just stop the pro- gram.” According to the OPA, the review is to ensure the microFIT program is focused on its original purpose. “Encouraging homeowners, farmers, farm co-operative, aboriginal commu- nities, small businesses and institutions such as schools, to own and develop small renewable projects,” said Mary Bernard, OPA corporate communi- cations, through an e-mail response to questions regarding the removal of aggrega- tors from the microFIT program. A micro- FIT adviso- ry panel was also created to make recom- mendations about contract provisions for aggregators and their commer- cial micro proj- ects. When asked why no deadline was in place for the review, her response was: “The review of the CFIT program is still underway and we will announce the next step when we have com- pleted our detailed review.” A subsequent request for answers received the response: “The program is under review, I don’t have any more information to offer.” People think they’re following the rules and each time they do, the rules change or a review happens, “through the OPA of course,” said John Yakabuski, Ontario Con- servative energy critic, adding the Ministry works through the OPA to deflect crit- icism. “It looks like they’re just stalling,” Mr. Yakabuski said. The high rate of return offered through the FIT programs created a gold rush and now there are too many applications coming in, Mr. Yakabuski said. “As the number of applications grew, they started to look at, oh boy, what are we going to do,” he continued. If the government was going to buy eggs for $7 a dozen, people would go buy laying hens, he added. “It’s called poor government,” Mr. Yakabus- ki said. “Trying to create the image of being the green government without doing your homework.” Even some people in Durham who have bought their own systems with their own money can’t get connected to the grid, said John O’Toole, MPP Durham. The review is an example of how poorly thought out the Green Energy Act and its FIT and micro-FIT programs are, he said, Under a Conservative government, the FIT program would be cancelled, Mr. Yakabuski said. Andrew Block, senior communications advisor and press secretary for Minister of Energy Brad Duguid, said a review was always built into the program. “I want to clarify, there is a general review of the feed-in tariff program that was built into the program when we first designed it,” Mr. Block said. “In terms of the Conservative position, they don’t even support the FIT program to begin with,” Mr. Block said. “There would be no opportunities for those people under a Conservative government.” In the case of the microFIT review, the ini- tial target for completion was mid-March, Mr. Block said. “In this case there was still work that need- ed to be done,” he said. There is no new projected date for comple- tion. When asked what they would say to com- panies such as Pure Energies who have been in limbo because of the review, he said they do appreciate their objectives. “And our objective here as well is to make sure we’re striking the right balance between good value for ratepayers and protecting ratepayers, but also ensuring the sustainabil- ity of the program,” he said. “We do want as many people as possible to participate but we don’t want to rush out a program like that before we’ve made sure we’ve done our due diligence on it,” he con- tinued. “We’re not saying no, we’re trying to make sure we’re getting the balance we’re looking for.” The initial objective of the program was to pay a high price for the energy in recognition of the investment being made -- an invest- ment which would be reduced for an aggre- gator because of purchasing power and such, he said, and added the government wants to ensure a consistent rate of return. For Mr. Stern, the delay has him losing hope. “It just seems like it’s not going to happen -- very depressing,” he said, and added he doesn’t know how long Pure Energies can hang in there. By keeping his company out, it’s just going to keep prices for solar equipment high and keep people subsidizing carbon, he said. “People are just going to be I don’t want this, I can’t afford this... it’s going to hurt the solar industry,” Mr. Stern said.

Wage schedule would apply to City contracts MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After more than a year of study and three staff reports, a fair wage policy for the City of Pickering is one step closer to reality. At an executive committee meeting on June 13, councillors voted to recommend the implementa- tion of a fair wage policy, which would set a required fee schedule for all City contracts. “Basically the policy would mean bidders must comply with our fair wage policy, and then it’s up to the bidders to make themselves familiar with the policy,” said Gil Paterson, director of corporate ser- vices and treasurer for the City of Pickering. “The fee schedule would only apply to City con- tracts over $1 million, so it would really only affect our largest contracts.” The fee schedule would set required pay rates for skilled trades workers such as carpenters, electri- cians, bricklayers and more. Terry Dorgan, an agent of the International Broth- erhood of Electrical Workers Local 894, has been before council several times over the past year to encourage the implementation of a fair wage poli- cy. “I think a fair wage policy is an excellent idea,” he said during the Monday meeting. “It promotes safety on the job, assures that you’re getting the most qualified people on the job and taxpayers will definitely get their money’s worth.” Councillor Peter Rodrigues questioned the term “fair,” noting it seemed to be fair only to the union- ized workers who would be covered. “This is not just for unionized workers, the word union isn’t even included in the policy,” Mr. Dorgan said, “It’s for all workers in the construction industry. It sets a level playing field for all employers and cuts out the underground economy.” Similar policies are currently used in Toronto, Clarington and Oshawa and have also been adopt- ed by organizations such as Durham College. Councillors voted to recommend the implemen- tation of a fair wage policy. A final vote will be held at the regular council meeting on Monday, June 20. Should it be approved, the policy would go into effect immediately. CITY Pickering moves to institute fair wage policy LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >> durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 15, 201113 AP Majority decide status quo is good for now KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- There won’t be a review of the composi- tion of Durham Regional council. Councillors on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted down a proposal by Ajax Mayor Steve Parish to set up a committee to review the composition, or how many councillors represent each municipality. Mayor Parish’s request noted the size of coun- cil wouldn’t be increased and the three northern municipalities would continue to have two represen- tatives each. The last time there was a change to Regional coun- cil’s composition was in the mid-1990s. He noted Oshawa has one Regional representa- tive for every 19,000 citizens, while Ajax has one for almost every 37,000 citizens. “When the discrepancy is approaching 100 per cent, something needs to be done,” Mayor Parish stated. “After 17 years and the growth that has happened, it’s fair to look at it. Let’s look at it. If you say no, you’re not interested in democracy in Durham Region. There’s no other way to describe it,” he said. Doing the review would be “fair, right and just,” Mayor Parish said. Oshawa resident Greg Milosh urged councillors to do a review, saying, “I ask you to set aside your par- tisan local positions. It’s only a request for a review committee. The results you can accept or not.” He said Oshawa councillors have an advantage. “I believe you have an advantage. I believe you know you have an advantage and you want to keep it. Do the honourable thing and vote in favour of Coun. Parish’s motion. If you vote against it, you should walk out of this chamber with some level of guilt.” Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins said to Mr. Milosh that provincial legislation lays out how big the Region can grow. Also, changes to the Region’s official plan, dubbed ROPA 128, are now before the Ontario Municipal Board. “We won’t know what our population is until they approve it (ROPA 128),” Mayor Perkins said. Whitby Councillor Don Mitchell, who seconded Mayor Parish’s motion, said the “unfairness” of the current council makeup is “so evident, so obvious. The point of this (motion) is to establish a frame- work.” To wait for a decision on ROPA 128 is “a misunder- standing of what we’re doing here,” Coun. Mitchell added. By 2031, when the Region will reach build-out, Whitby will have the same population as Oshawa and half the number of councillors, he noted. “Whitby and Pickering have the most to lose. Let’s look at it. If we can’t find a solution, we can’t find a solution. Sit down and talk about it. At the end of the day, it may not be solvable,” Coun. Mitchell said. “Our core function as a council is to sit down and debate.” Whitby Councillor Joe Drumm opposed the idea, saying, “The municipality that will lose three seats, it will act very strict, revenge. It’s going to happen. The six seats in the north will be put into play.” Oshawa Mayor John Henry also opposed a review, stating, “The public wants less politicians, not what government wants to do.” He suggested a comprehensive review of Region- al government, including consolidation of northern municipalities and term limits for councillors. “Bring forward an all-encompassing motion. I’ll support you and work with you.” REGION No review of Durham council composition He said for Oshawa to lose three seats and the northern municipalities to keep all of theirs “isn’t fair. Oshawa resi- dents are paying 22 per cent of (Regional) taxes.” Oshawa Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki said when council- lors had “all the facts and ROPA (was decided) then we can make changes.” To say changes haven’t been made for 15 years “isn’t a strong enough argument to put everything into chaos,” Coun. Pidwerbecki said. He said no municipality is being deprived of any Regional service and Durham has “brought forward a great lifestyle. Change for the sake of change means nothing.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 15, 201114 AP Calendar ONGOING AJAX TOASTMASTERS. meets on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Ajax High School, 105 Bayly St. E., Ajax. 905- 665-2855, rjrj8963@gmail.com.

Following that, it strung together three wins in a row again, bringing about a three-game losing skid to follow. The most recent slide has includ- ed an 18-15 overtime loss in New- market, a 12-10 setback Friday in Oakville, and a 13-9 loss to the Clar- ington Green Gaels on Sunday at the Ajax Community Centre. While there were some encourag- ing signs in each of the losses, head coach Ron Reed is looking for his team to play at the same high level from start to finish as playoffs loom just around the corner. “Against Oakville we played a good game, we just have to be con- sistent for 60 minutes and what’s happening is we’re having these letdowns for short periods of time,” he said. “It’s trying to be consistent for 60 minutes and I don’t know if we’ve done that yet.” As an example, in the 12-10 loss in Oakville, the Ironheads went up 6-2 after closing out the first peri- od with five in a row, and added the first goal of the second to take a 7-2 lead. But Oakville went on runs of three goals and four goals to get back into the game, and with the Ironheads up 10-9 with just over 11 minutes to go, Oakville scored the final three goals of the game to get the victory. Against the Green Gaels, the Ironheads had a 3-1 lead in the first before having a lapse and giving up six in a row at the end of the period and into the second to change the complexion of the game. “I thought we were right with them, but they’re a hell of a team,” said Reed of the Green Gaels, who sport the best record in the East- ern Conference at 18-1-0, with their only loss coming at the hands of the Ironheads on May 20 by an 11-10 score. Another positive is the discipline the Ironheads have shown in the past few games, something that will be required once the playoffs begin in another week, as power-play goals can often decide the outcome of close games. Against Oakville the Ironheads had just eight minutes in penalties, and against the Green Gaels, just two, which is down significantly. “We’re happy that the kids have bought into the discipline aspect. It’s too bad that before they bought in, it cost us a few points early on in the season had they bought in sooner.” THE SCOOP The Ironheads were in Mississauga Tuesday, travel to Clarington to face the Green Gaels Thursday, and will be home to Akwesasne on Saturday at 8 p.m. ... In the loss to Oakville, Brock Levick had three goals and two assists, while Michael Hart added a pair of goals and one helper. Dillon Strachan had four assists, with three credited to Kenzie Smith ... George Jimas led the way against the Green Gaels with two goals and an assist, while Julian Gar- ritano and Gage Board had a goal and two assists each. Major Series Lacrosse club falls to 1-8-0 following three losses BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The wins aren’t there, but that hasn’t dampened the spirit of the Ajax Rock. While the Major Series Lacrosse club sits at the bottom of the six- team league, the result of a three- game losing streak, GM/head coach Paul St. John is holding out hope things will improve, while at the same time, understanding the situation his young team faces. “We’re always optimistic,” he said. “We have to know where we are. I hope the fans know this, and I hope we know this as a team. We’re a second-year club. We don’t have a lot of NLL players on our team, so we have to build. “It’s going to be a lot of nights where it’s growing pains. You hope to compete in most games and we have. We compete every night. It’s just learning to win with the group of guys we have.” After registering their first win of the season over Kitchener, the Rock promptly dropped the next three, losing in Peterborough 16-7 last Thursday, home to Kitchener the following night 9-4, and wrapping up the weekend with a 12-10 over- time loss in Brampton on Sunday. In looking back at the recent run, St. John wondered about a lost opportunity for a win in the sec- ond of the back-to-back games that came against Kitchener, whose only two wins in eight outings this season have come against the Rock. Subsequently, the only win by the Rock came in a one-goal decision over Kitchener. “Against Kitchener we were flat from the get go,” said St. John. “We played in Peterborough the night before. It’s tough when you go into Peterborough because they are so good that you want to play your best, so you push the guys to play as hard as they can. “When the game’s over and you take a step back you think maybe we should have pulled back and started to rest.” Each of the last three losses have followed the same pattern as the preceding ones, with the Rock fall- ing behind early and being forced to play catch up the rest of the way. In Peterborough they fell behind 7-2 at one point in the opening period, the next night they were down 4-0 midway through the first to Kitch- ener, and Sunday in Brampton, it was a 4-1 deficit after the first peri- od and 6-1 early in the second. For the most part, they do manage to battle back to make things close, but the end result is the same. “It has become our trademark,” sighed St. John of the poor start to games. “Teams are jumping on us early. You always think as a coach you’ve got them ready and then you get on the floor and they’re not ready ... from the goaltender all the way to the coaching staff because we have to be accountable as well. “We talked about it after the game. We have to have a better warm-up, we have to have a better start.” St. John added that he was trying to make a trade last week to help the roster, but things couldn’t be worked out. THE SCOOP The Rock were led by Jesse Guerin and Jordan MacIntosh with a goal and assist each in the 9-4 loss to Kitchener, while Bryan Neufeld had two assists ... In the 12-10 overtime loss in Brampton, Jason Mainer and MacIntosh scored in the final six minutes of the third to pull the Rock even at 10-10, but the Excel- siors had the only two goals of over- time. The goal for MacIntosh was his third of the night to go along with two assists. Mainer finished the night with two goals and two assists ... The game against Brampton provided an awkward situation, as wearing number 32 for the Excelsiors was John St. John, the son of Rock GM/head coach Paul St. John. After scoring three times for his Bramp- ton Jr. A team in the afternoon, St. John had a goal and two assists against his dad’s team ... The Rock were in Six Nations Tuesday, host Brampton on Friday at 8 p.m. at the Ajax Community Complex, and travel back to Six Nations Saturday. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax Rock player Jason Mainer was hit by Kitchener Kodiaks player Brodie Barfoot during their Major Series Lacrosse game at the Ajax Community Centre on Friday.

After winning the 15U Ontario provincial cham- pionships, Eclipse was ready and excited to play some tough competition in Calgary. With a total of about 250 teams over three different venues, this was the biggest tournament the girls have ever played in. Ranked second going into the tournament, the Eclipse started the first day with tough competition but managed to win all three games against LVC Infinity from Alberta, VVC Geckos from British Columbia and Serious Impact VC from Saskatchewan, to finish first in the division. Day 2 placed Eclipse in a Power Pool with NAVC Green Pandas from Alberta, Dinos from Alberta and fel- low Ontarians, Forest City Green. In the first game, Eclipse showed its talent and strength by defeat- ing NAVC in two straight games. With some key free ball passing by Sheridan Mason, the Eclipse offence came alive and dominated the net. The next game was against the strong Calgary Dinos. Eclipse fell behind early in the first game but with some strong offensive play at the net by KC Tohm, was able to come back and take the first game. How- ever, a very disciplined and talented Dinos team pushed Eclipse to its first and only loss of the week- end. The last game of the day was a must-win for both Eclipse and Forest City with the winner mov- ing on to Division 1 and loser dropping down to Division 2. Eclipse, with some tough serving and stellar offence, defeated Forest City in two straight games. Special mention goes to Sydney Schurman who played an outstanding game. Playoffs started the next day at the BMO Centre in Calgary. Eclipse faced Canuck Ignite from Alber- ta, the No. 1-ranked team coming into the tourna- ment. Eclipse was victo- rious, beating Ignite two games to one. Strong defen- sive tenacity and clutch serve receiving were dis- played by Nareesa Nathoo and Kiana de la Cruz dur- ing the entire match. The next game for Eclipse was against Shock Black from SUBMITTED PHOTO CALGARY -- The Eclipse volleyball team won the national championship held in Calgary, beating a team from Manitoba two games to one in the gold medal game. Manitoba in the semifinals. With Prime Minister Ste- phen Harper sitting in the stands watching his son play on the very next court, Eclipse was electrified to display its talent. Courtney Chiasson demonstrated her ability to seal the net with some strong block- ing at critical times to help Eclipse win the third set 16-14. The national champion- ship title was against Spar- tans from Manitoba. With some strategic setting by Karlina Domingo, Eclipse attackers were able to score and prevent Spartans from creating any momentum. Eclipse was able to capture the national championship after winning two games to one. Head coach Arif Nathoo and assistant Vicki Gallagh- er provided a year of invalu- able coaching, teaching the athletes priceless life les- sons and bringing a team of individuals together as one cohesive unit. Tournament all stars included Cassis Varlow and Chanel Raymundo. Jazmin Shannon was named the tournament’s Most Valu- able Player.

DeGray, a 47-year-old Oshawa native now living in Courtice, has already had a year for the ages, and it hasn’t even reached the halfway mark. Of course, being a hockey guy, the accolades for this year are like- ly complete now, capped off by his being named the Ontario Hockey League’s executive of the year for his work as general manager of the Owen Sound Attack. That follows quickly on the heels of his Attack winning the OHL title, a trip to the Memorial Cup for the team and DeGray being induct- ed into the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame. “It’s been a real good month for me, really, when you think of my induction in Oshawa and the Memorial Cup and now this,” he says. “Listen, it’s always nice. It’s certainly not why you do it, but it’s always nice when you get noticed for what you do, no question.” What he has done, in four short years on the job, is lead the Attack to their most successful season in franchise history, highlighted by a seven-game win over the favoured Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors in the OHL final to win their first Rob- ertson Cup. Despite battling more than their fair share of injuries this season, most notably to goalie Scott Stajc- er, the Attack managed a franchise- best 46-17-1-4 record and won the Wayne Gretzky Trophy as the West- ern Conference champions. The injury bug hit even harder at the Memorial Cup, with top scor- er Joey Hishon and captain Gar- rett Wilson both knocked out of the tournament and the Attack falling in the tiebreaker, 7-3 to the Koote- nay Ice. All in all, though, DeGray is extremely pleased with how things panned out. “I’m very proud of the kids who took us to the Memorial Cup. I’m proud of the coaches who have helped along the way and the scouting staff that we have,” he says. “It’s been a real great four years.” The OHL title, naturally, is the highlight, especially coming against a St. Mike’s team that had steam- rolled the competition. “It’s a grind. It is an absolute grind to play the way we did and win it in seven games,” says DeGray, who won an OHL title as a player with the Oshawa Generals in 1983. “The Memorial Cup, yeah, let’s not kid ourselves, it would have been pretty special to win it as well, but I think you need a little bit more luck with that, and timing, than you do to win a seven-game series.” DeGray says he had his sights set on this season since being named to the post in July 2007. In the three seasons leading up, the Attack had not managed to get over the .500 hump. “It’s a big puzzle is what it is and you have to identify the pieces of the puzzle that are missing and you have to go out and try to find the pieces to fit into those spots,” he explains. “We had a lot of good luck and quite honestly we didn’t blow our team up to do it, so moving forward we shouldn’t be depleted from success.” Although he admits he would listen if a National Hockey League club were to come calling at some point down the road, DeGray says he loves the job he’s doing, and enjoys working with the young players. He has also clearly quelled any notion that he lives too far away from Owen Sound to do the job properly. “It might be beneficial to be, real- ly, where all the action is,” he says, referring to his proximity to the GTA. “I know there are people in Owen Sound who thought I should be there for whatever reason, so I’m glad that it’s worked out because I believed that it could. I think if you work hard, do the right things and pay attention to details, things will work out, and I’m glad they did.” PHOTO BY JOHN CARRICK MISSISSAUGA -- Courtice’s Dale DeGray held the J. Ross Robertson Cup high after the Owen Sound Attack defeated the St. Michael’s Majors in the OHL final. DeGray, general manager of the Attack, was named the OHL executive of the year for 2010-11. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 15, 201124 AP DURHAM REGION’S *#1 VOLUME DEALER *#1 DEALER FOR CHRYSLER CANADA IN DURHAM REGION FOR APRIL 2011 No Credit?
