New bylaw changes that would reduce the amount of time for res- idents to speak at council meet- ings from 10 minutes to five were a hot topic at a public meeting in council chambers on Jan. 16. “Perhaps this is a more efficient way of doing business but at a time when the public needs to be engaged, when there is incredible apathy, to limit it now is perceived to be a type of gag order,” said resi- dent and former councillor Mau- rice Brenner of the proposed time limit. “There are a lot of very dedi- cated people coming before you and it may take them time to be able to consolidate their presenta- tion. A lot of material presented in the agendas is very detailed, five minutes just doesn’t cut it some- times.” The reduced time limit is one of a number of changes in the revised council rules of procedure bylaw that was discussed at the meeting. The bylaw governs meet- ing procedure and process and is required to be reviewed once per council term under the Municipal Act. During the meeting, residents took issue with several changes in the revised bylaw, including a limit of one delegation per year for groups offering educational presentations, a prohibition on recorded votes at committee or closed meetings, a stipulation that delegations appear before a stand- ing committee prior to addressing council and a limit of five ques- tions to delegates from council- lors. But the main issue remained the reduced time limit. Resident Jac- queline Smart urged councillors to reconsider the change, despite some discussion regarding the fact that Durham Region and municipalities, including Oshawa and Ajax, have similar five-min- ute limits. “I feel 10 minutes should be standardized for this city, I don’t think you should be looking at other communities,” Ms. Smart said during a delegation at the end of the meeting, which saw 14 people speak over more than four hours. “I would expect Pickering to be a leader, I expect you to say others have made a mistake. Not every- body can speak quickly, precisely and concisely, they need the extra time, such as we hear from your- selves. You are not always precise and concise, you always take the time that you need. We need that time also to be on a level playing field.” Pickering clerk Debbie Shields said she had fielded many phone calls from the public prior to the meeting, and hoped to quell con- cerns with some main issues. She said a stipulation that individu- als can appear as a delegation only once a year before council applied to groups offering infor- mation or educational presenta- tions on issues that did not affect Pickering, such as wind farms. If a delegation was offered on an issue that directly affected the city, that individual or group would be permitted back in front of coun- cil. She also addressed a change that said delegations must go before committee with their con- cern before addressing council or, if it’s regarding a subject not on the meeting’s agenda, people must approach staff regarding the issue first. “For committee delegations it’s a little less formal so the idea is you can come and voice your con- cerns and then we have a full week to investigate your concerns,” Ms. Shields said of the changes. “If you’re coming to council to say the same th ing, we’re trying to avoid that repetition but nowhere in that document does it say you cannot come to council as well. Also, if the item is not on the agen- da we want to refer you to staff first so they can investigate con- cerns and possibly resolve that at the staff level. All we’re asking is that we try to fix it before we get to the meeting.” The bylaw was initially sched- uled to come back for discus- sion at the executive committee meeting on Monday, Feb. 13 but has been delayed until the March executive committee meeting to give staff more time for review. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ja n u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 2 3 P 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa ALL COURSES RUN6:00 pm - 9:15 pm TWICEA WEEK FOR 28 CLASSES REGISTRATION FEE AND REFUNDABLE TEXTBOOK DEPOSIT REQUIRED CLASSES WITHINSUFFICIENT ENROLLMENTWILL BE CANCELLED Office hours extended to 8:00 pm on January 12, 18, 24 and 27 Grades 11 and 12 high school credit courses taught by qualified teachers who care about student success.

Before proceeding it behooves me to point out a couple of impor- tant items. For starters, the hyphen in that word ‘smart-phone’ is critical. Having been in possession of one of these things for just over two weeks and having wasted untold man hours already fiddling with knobs, but- tons, settings and configurations, I can safely say that it is indeed the phone that is intel- ligent, not the other way around. There are legions of smart-phone owners, but I would wager there are very few “smart” phone own- ers. Secondly, I am discovering, to my com- plete, helpless horror that one does not own one of these phones. It owns you. Before joining the multitudes of other addicts, I used to not particularly care where my cellphone was or even if it was on. If it rang, which it seldom did, I would be able to get to it and respond. Or not. I had voicemail, after all. This new thing, however, is like carting around a newborn child. It is constantly squawking, beeping or blatting and demand- ing some kind of attention. These phones have alerts for everything. And I mean every- thing. Someone is calling. Someone you know is calling. Someone you don’t know is calling. Someone is texting. Someone is thinking about texting. Your colonoscopy results are in. You have a dental appointment in six months. Call your mother. I kid you not. And like Pavlov’s pooch I have become thoroughly trained to pick it up and check it each time it cries. Judging from the throngs of others I see doing the exact same thing, my back is not the only one with a cellular monkey on it. Another surprise is what an athletic ‘texter’ I have become. I now text far more than I actually speak to people. I like texting for several reasons. For starters I am an inveterate cheapskate and texting is free. Every time I send a message I feel like I am giving Ma Bell the digital finger. Although I am not so naive that I am unaware she will inevitably and inexorably have the last laugh. She always does. Secondly, I like to write. Texting allows me to thoughtfully and carefully choose my words. I am still old-school enough to actu- ally spell my words as well...scorning txt spk completely. But texting, I am discovering, comes with its own unique set of hazards. Chief of which is what I shall refer to as the ‘non-reply’. In this age of instant information and constant connection, if you want to really freak some- one out or tick them off, wait an inordinate amount of time before replying in the middle of a texted conversation. When it’s your turn to text back, simply don’t for a while. The individual you were corresponding with will immediately go into paroxysms of fear, guilt and agonizing self-doubt about what they’ve done to upset you. They will be pulling their hair out, pouring over the conversation with a fine-toothed comb, desperately searching for the perceived offence. I’ve been on both ends of this and it’s an amazing phenomenon. If you’re the one waiting, you really do begin to wonder if you’ve said something inappropriate. You second guess even the most innocent of remarks. “When I asked her to pick up some skim milk...did she think I was calling her fat?” On the other side of the coin, I have put friendships on the brink of disaster simply because I had to go to the bathroom and needed both hands for a while. Until some- body invents an App for hands-free peeing, some things will have to remain lo-tech. Wel- come to the age of information. -- Neil Crone is a Durham Region resident who saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ja n u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: We have a new VIDEO contest.

The challenge is to find something different. The first real snowfall pro- vided interesting contrast with this crew working on the side of Hwy. 401 The image came alive with the stark contrast of the white and tan along with colours of their jackets. I shot the image from the other side of the 401 making certain to eliminate any passing vehicles and waiting until I was satisfied in the place- ment of the work crew. Rooting for Rooney Mara as best actress Apparently I must see Hugo this week- end -- the Academy says so. The Oscar nominees were announced this week and Hugo appears destined for a haul. Set in 1930s Paris, it’s billed as the story of an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station who is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. And it’s in 3-D, which for those of us who wear bifocals is a bit of a problem, but I’m game. I’m rooting for Rooney Mara as best actress for The Girl with the Dragon Tat- too. I found the scenes of sexual violence very disturbing but riveting thanks to Mara’s performance. The other nominees for best actress are: Viola Davis in The Help (saw it, enjoyed the movie), Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady (seeing it this weekend, have high expec- tations – it’s Streep after all), Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs and Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn. If I’m going to see all nine of the best picture nominees, I’d better get busy -- I have seven to go. *** Many thanks to readers who sent me suggestions for cross-country ski options in response to my last column. Several people suggested Hardwood Ski and Bike near Orillia and it didn’t disap- point. While the rest of you were strug- gling with lake effect streamers last Thurs- day, my husband and I popped up to Oril- lia. Hardwood was easy to find, 60 kilome- tres of groomed trails were at our dis- posal and we practically had the place to ourselves: one class of Grade 7/8s, a few hard-core skiers who spent their time on the tougher trails, and us casual skiers. Pack a lunch, there’s a microwave at your disposal, or grab something from the snack counter. I highly recommend it.

OntariO HOckey League Generals get back into the playoff picture Wins in two of three over the weekend lifts Oshawa into eighth place SHaWn cayLey scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- For the first time in quite awhile, the Oshawa Generals are back in the playoff picture. After a weekend three- in-three that opened on a sour note in an 8-3 loss in Ottawa last Friday, the Generals bounced back in a big way with consecutive wins, including one by an 11-3 count over the Kings- ton Frontenacs on Satur- day, before following that up with a 3-0 triumph over the Barrie Colts Sunday. Saturday’s game was an all-out dominating effort from start to finish for the Generals. They built a 3-0 lead after one period and upped it to 7-0 after two before hit- ting cruise control, while against Barrie, they kicked things into high gear in the third period, spearhead- ed by a two-goal, three- point effort from Picker- ing’s Andy Andreoff and a 39-save shutout from Kevin Bailie. The whole body of work made for a happy coach as the Generals climbed into eighth in the OHL’s East- ern Conference with 46 points, passing the free- falling Belleville Bulls by one and putting them on the trail of Mississauga and Peterborough, who each have 48 points. “It’s nice for them to be rewarded and see what happens when they play the right way for the full 60 and do the little things that we’ve been preach- ing, whether it’s blocking shots or chipping pucks out, taking a hit to make a play,” coach Gary Agnew said following Sunday’s victory, one that improved the Generals’ record to 21-21-1-3. “The systems are the systems, but at the end of the game it’s how hard you compete.” After being knocked down in such a manner by the rival 67’s, Agnew ques- tioned how his club would bounce back and much to his delight, they provided a convincing answer. The efforts of Bailie and Andreoff among others can be thanked for that, at least on Sunday. Andreoff opened the scoring against Barrie with his 18th of the sea- son at 4:03 of the third, tipping in a Christian Thomas shot before com- pleting his night with an empty-netter just before time expired. He also had a fight, just nine seconds into the game with Bar- rie’s Anthony Camara. Bailie, meanwhile, didn’t need to be spec- tacular against the likes of Mark Scheifele, Tanner Pearson and others, but was more than solid when called upon on and while the shutout was gratifying for Bailie, more so was the fact he was able to help the club re-enter the play- off picture. “It was big for us because we’re back in eighth place now after Belleville lost,” he said post-game. “We have to keep building on that. It feels good to final- ly be out of ninth. We haven’t been for a couple months.” Oshawa has another three-in-three ahead, vis- iting Kingston Friday, hosting Brampton Satur- day night (7:05) and Peter- borough Sunday night (6:05). Barrie colts head coach still fond of Oshawa Brad keLLy bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It’s not quite the same, but there’s still no place like home for Dale Hawerchuk. The rink has changed over the years, with the old Civic Auditorium giving way to the GM Centre, but a trip back to Oshawa still holds a special place for Hawerchuk, who advanced through the minor hockey system here before going on to a junior and NHL career that landed him in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001. Sunday he was back home, so to speak, leading his Bar- rie Colts into Oshawa to face the Generals. “It’s always nice to come home, but you want to win. You want to win every one wherever you go,” said the head coach and Director of Hockey Operations for Bar- rie. “I’ve got a lot of great memories here. This is where I learned my trade, so it’s a special place that way.” The 46 year old has his hockey club headed in the right direction, despite the 3-0 loss to the Generals on Sunday. Last season, his first behind the bench, Bar- rie missed the playoffs with a 15-49-2-2 record. Through 45 games this season, Bar- rie sits fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 24-18-2- 1 record. It helps that the team boasts a couple of the top players in the league in Tanner Pearson and Mark Scheifele, who played for Canada at the World Juniors. But even they couldn’t beat Oshawa netminder Kevin Bailie on Sunday. “It was a good, hard fought game,” said Hawerchuk. “I thought both teams played hard. It was like a playoff game. Both goalies played well. “We talked about getting pucks to the net. Games like that, sometimes it’s not the prettiest goals that get you going.” So far, in two trips back home as head coach of Bar- rie, the hockey gods haven’t been kind to Hawerchuk, losing in his only visit last season, 7-4. Home still holds a special place for Hawerchuk du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ja n u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 2 21 AP 2 Full-Time Positions Available in our Whitby Location .NET Software Developer- Microsoft .NET using VB, WPF, and ASP - Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server and other relational databases - JavaScript, HTML, XML, XAML - Application and Web Development - TCP/IP Communications Design and Development - Visual Studio Team Foundation Server - Strong OOP and .NET Design Fundamentals Mobile Application Developer - Must have 1+ years of experience developing mobile applications - Objective C - Java, HTML, HTML5, XML, XAML, ASP - Web Services- SQL Server and VB.NET Email resume to: hrjobs@keyscan.ca Selling Manager, Online Advertising Sales (New Business) Division: Durham Office Location: Oshawa Territory: Durham Region Reports To: Regional Director of Sales Is working with energetic, passionate people right up your alley?
