Witnesses gave varying account of dispute JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Crown has completed its case against Jason McCartney, accused of kill- ing a man after an argument outside an Ajax steak house in 2009. During the trial, which began Jan. 23, jurors have heard that what appeared to be a rela- tively minor dispute between two strangers quickly escalated to an outbreak of bloody violence that left Victor Cameron, 32, of Ajax, dead and another man gravely wounded. Mr. McCartney, 27, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and attempted mur- der. A number of witnesses who were present on an outdoor patio on the night of Nov. 18, 2009 said a dispute arose between Mr. Cam- eron and another man. They’ve heard Mr. Cameron left the restaurant and got into his SUV, stopping near the patio. It was then, the Crown alleges, that Mr. McCartney lunged at Mr. Cameron through the driver’s side win- dow, stabbing him in the chest. Witnesses have been unable to say conclu- sively what started the argument, and gave varying accounts of the fight. One witness testified Mr. Cameron boasted he owned a gun, but others have said they heard no such threat. No weapons were seen and none was found in Mr. Cameron’s vehicle, which he managed to drive several blocks before collapsing at the intersection of Harwood Avenue and Kerri- son Drive, jurors heard. The final Crown witness Wednesday was Tim Bateman, an armoured car driver who was making a delivery at a bank near the Keg restaurant at Salem and Kingston roads the night of the incident. He said he saw Mr. Cam- eron’s SUV in the parking lot with a number of people nearby. One man was screaming and “lunging” toward the driver’s side window, Mr. Bateman testified. “He gave me the feeling that he wanted to harm the driver,” Mr. Bateman said. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Alfred Stong and a jury, continues in Oshawa.

Lower costs may be one reason. Industry best practices may be another. “Going green” may also be a key selling point for customers. “Going green essentially means reducing waste—and reducing waste saves money,” says Nima Fotovat, general manager at Shandiz Natural Foods, a manufacturer of natural and organic snack bars based in Ontario. “It's a win-win situation. Save the planet and save money.” The company uses renewable energy sources, recycled mate- rials and describes their products as having “big flavours, small footprints”. Here are five tips to help a business reduce its carbon footprint and save money: 1. Remember the Three Rs Reduce, reuse and recycle should be part of any company's eco strategy. Being in- novative about reducing and reusing waste will lower costs. In office environments, promote a less wasteful workplace by using waste paper as notepaper and supply du- rable cutlery and plates instead of disposables. 2. Reduce Energy Consumption Businesses can easily save money by avoiding wasted energy from unused lighting, heating or equipment. Turning off lights and equipment when they're not in use can have a significant impact. Make sure that all computers and equipment are turned off at the end of the day to keep energy costs and consumption down. 3. Adopt Green Technology There are a number of technologies that can save a company money. Start with the easy things, like setting up energy-efficient modes on computers and switching to energy-efficient lighting. If this has already been done, bigger changes can be made, like buying energy-efficient equipment, purchasing alternative fuel vehicles or switch- ing to solar or wind energy. These changes will cost more money up front, but can provide major savings in the long run. 4. Get Green Government Help You don't have to go green by yourself. There are various incentives and programs to help. As a first step, contact Canada Business Ontario, a free service from the federal and provincial governments. They can provide detailed information on a variety of business topics including a list of financial assistance programs and hiring incentives for businesses wanting to become energy and environmentally efficient. To access these services, you can call the Business Info Line at 1-888-745-8888 or visit www. canadabusiness.ca/ontario. 5. Get Eco-Efficient Creating more goods and services with fewer resources is the goal of eco-efficiency. While this means less waste and less harm to the planet, doing more with less can also give a company a competitive advantage. To help assess and improve an organization's green efficiency, Industry Canada provides an eco-efficiency website (www.ic.gc.ca/ eco-efficiency) with tools to help any business adopt and integrate eco-efficiency. Whatever the reason for making your business more ecologically friendly, going green makes good business sense. www.newscanada.com Five tips to green a business and lower expenses 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 , 2 0 1 2 3 AP ®® For all your DEBTS!Make One Small Monthly Payment credit ® Visit: Make One Small Monthly Payment For all your DEBTS! Two men arrested after search leads to drug haul PICKERING -- Two men are facing charg- es after police recovered more than $1 mil- lion worth of marijuana from a Pickering residence. On Jan. 31 two search warrants were executed, one at a home on Pebblestone Crescent in Pickering and a second resi- dence on Kerbar Road in Toronto. Police say a sophisticated marijuana grow opera- tion, including a hydro and water bypass, was found in the home on Pebblestone Crescent. Officers seized 1,159 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, a hydro and water diversion, 43 ballasts and a Honda Odyssey van from the residence. The marijuana plants seized have an estimated street value of $1,159,000. No one was located inside the Toronto home and officers did not seize anything from the residence. Runtin Wang, 54 and Zhenfu Liu, 59, of Pebblestone Crescent, have been jointly charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, production of a controlled substance, theft of electricity and theft of water. Mr. Wang was also charged with two counts of fail to comply with recognizance order. Both accused were held for bail hearings. Anyone with new information is asked to call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2510.

Durham and Toronto officers teamed up after a spate of thefts of vehicles and commercial property dating back to November, Durham police said. The ban- dits typically crashed stolen cars through storefront windows, then made off with property. Police said they targeted busi- nesses in Durham and east Toronto. Wednesday cops were conducting sur- veillance as two suspects, driving a sto- len car, attempted to break into several businesses, police said. Officers executed a search warrant at a Toronto residence, seizing evidence related to the investiga- tion. Justin Battle, 28, and Cory Crockatt, 30, of Calverly Trail in Toronto, face dozens of charges including break and enter, theft, and possession of property obtained by crime. police Two charged in spate of Durham commercial break-ins 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP HUGE DISCOUNTS FOR WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS!!

With the students help- ing us, hopefully we won’t have to bring the salmon back in another 100 years, because they’ll be protecting the streams.” When the eggs hatch, each student will get to name a fish. Fish hatched through the pro- gram are microchipped for research purpos- es, with their names linked to their micro- chips. Sparkles, Rolo, Bubbles, Sally, Moe, Bob, Leaper, Dinner and Mr. Fishy were just some of the names excitedly offered by stu- dents. In the spring, the students will return to the centre to release their fish in Duffins Creek. “I feel that this is actually a new beginning to making a better world for our animals,” said Grade 5 student Alexis Parker. “They’re taking the time to save the animals, and they’re trying to stop pollution too.” Niko Julsing agreed. “I think it’s really nice (to save Atlantic salmon), because we have destroyed their habitat,” the Grade 5 student said. “We’ve already lost a few species and we don’t want to lose any more.” Keeping the species alive to feed and teach future generations is crucial, said Grade 6 student Amanda Desouza. “I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime oppor- tunity,” she added. “I think that it’s really sad that people would hunt them to the fact that they were almost extinct.” Lake Ontario’s wild Atlantic salmon pop- ulation was wiped out by 1896 from over- fishing, pollution, habitat degradation, dam building and ecological changes. Bring Back the Salmon aims to restore fish populations through a four-part strategy -- fish production and stocking, habitat res- toration and water quality enhancement, research and monitoring, and education and outreach. Four years after its inception, the first wild- born Atlantic salmon in more than 150 years was recorded. Through the program, more than 2.5 million fish have been stocked into tributaries at Credit River, Duffins Creek and Cobourg Brook, and almost 100 habitat reconstruction projects have been complet- ed. Members of the public can get involved with Bring Back the Salmon in several ways, including undertaking stream rehabilitation work, reporting Atlantic salmon sightings to info@bringbackthesalmon.ca and vol- unteering with the program. Fish can also be honourarily adopted and named for a $10 donation. For more information on the program and how you can help, visit www. bringbackthesalmon.ca.

The directory was launched last week, providing a wealth of information in five categories: creative industries, cultur- al heritage, facilities and spaces, natural heritage and non-profit organizations. Scan the directory at www.cityofpicker- ing.com and you’ll find visual artists such as sculptor Edward Falkenberg and paint- er Judith Jewer, arts groups such as the Durham West Arts Centre Foundation, musicians and bands such as Max Phil- lips and No Quarter and Earl La Pierre. And it’s not just about the arts. Creative businesses and cultural treasures, such as Pickering Museum Village, are repre- sented, as are local groups such as the Durham Tamil Association. Most have a description of the person, group, place or business, contact information and a web link. Looking at the directory, we thought we would see a lot of familiar faces and plac- es and we did. But we were surprised to find quite a few we weren’t aware of, and that’s the great thing about the directory: many artists and other creative people and businesses aren’t household names and the directory brings them to the fore- front. Pickering staff had the same experi- ence. “We were doing a mapping exercise to identify our assets and we were real- ly impressed by the assets we had, and intrigued by the assets we didn’t know about,” said Marisa Carpino, acting man- ager, culture and recreation. “We wanted to do this to both support the cultural sector and offer the commu- nity a way to be engaged in the cultural side of our city. We’re so thrilled because we got a great response so far.” For local artists, the directory is a great way to support their efforts. “It’s hard to get your name out there as an artist,” painter Judith Matthews said of her decision to take part in the directory. “With everyone going Internet crazy these days this is a great way to get expo- sure. Ideally, I’m hoping it will help me sell my art and get it out there.” The directory will only grow as more people learn about it and decide to par- ticipate. And as it does, Pickering’s rich culture and heritage will continually be unveiled for both local residents and people all over the world. Pickering should be congratulated for recognizing and promoting its culture and heritage. As far as social media stories go, it’s one that’s gotten a lot of mileage over the past couple of years. It seems like every few months there’s a spate of news stories about a breastfeeding mother whose photos are removed from Facebook. A recent example involved Vancouver mother and breastfeeding advocate Emma Kwasnica. In January, she said the popular social networking removed two photos of her breastfeeding her daughters. She said she received a notice saying the photos vio- lated the Facebook’s no nudity policy and that the photos were sexually explicit. Ms. Kwasnica told the CBC she felt Face- book was discriminating against nursing mothers and pointed out that public policy encourages women to breastfeed. “I mean, this is a baby or a child eating. There’s no sexual connotation here whatso- ever. This is just what babies do,” she said. A quick search online shows there are hundreds of Facebook users who have com- plained about their photos being removed and one site documents them all the way back to 2007. It doesn’t seem like Facebook is in any rush to change its policies while the debate rages on. One way of looking at the issue is to consider that Facebook is banning photos of an activity that is per- fectly legal in public spaces including parks, shopping malls and more. After years of advocacy, few mothers feel like they have to hide in the bathroom to feed their children when they’re out of their homes and the law firmly supports their right to breastfeed in public. Ms. Kwasnica points out that by removing the photo, Face- book is implying breastfeeding is disgusting or sexual. On the other hand, banning breastfeed- ing photos from Facebook doesn’t prevent mothers from breastfeeding. It just stops them from documenting it on the site. For Ms. Kwasnica’s photo to get taken down, someone must have been uncom- fortable enough to click through a com- plaint on Facebook. In fact, any photo taken off Facebook is a result of a complaint. The site’s terms of service allow anyone aged 13 or older to sign up and it seems like the site had to draw the line somewhere when it comes to preventing the site from being filled with sexual content. That line was drawn at nudity and chang- ing the rule about breastfeeding photos brings up a number of questions. Is there a difference between a breast- feeding photo and a non-sexual photo of a woman sunbathing topless on vacation? Is the difference the presence of a child? What if a topless woman was holding, but not feeding, a child in a photo? Photos of topless men are clearly allowed, why not women? Would you allow your children to use Face- book if women could post topless photos? While it may make some people uncom- fortable to see breastfeeding photos on Facebook, it also clearly made Ms. Kwasnica uncomfortable to have her moments with her children labelled as sexually explicit so there’s no easy answer to this debate. What do you think? Should breastfeeding photos be allowed on Facebook? Where do you think the site should draw the line? Drop me a line on Facebook and let me know.

DURHAM -- The Region of Durham recently collected 28 tonnes of e-waste during its sec- ond annual winter e-waste collection event. On Jan. 14 the Region partnered with Ontar- io Electronic Stewardship to collect electronic and electrical waste items at no cost to resi- dents. “Electronic products contain valuable, reusable materials, but many also contain materials such as lead, cadmium, mercury, bromine and other hazardous materials that are harmful to the environment if disposed of improperly,” explains Craig Bartlett, manager of waste operations. In addition to waste, the event also saw 815 pounds of non-perishable food donations collected for Feed the Need Durham.

With snowfalls so sporadic this winter, and rains so frequent, washing the snow away, we study all tracks we come across when we’re out for a walk. Footprints in fresh snow are the best clue to what animals are out and about in the neigh- bourhood. Most intriguing the last time it snowed were a set of long-toed prints coming out of a nearby marsh. Raccoon? Otter? We followed them curiously and finally decided they were made by a possum, as fisher tracks would have been slightly offset instead of side by side. Among the cottontail and squirrel tracks, we’ve come across a few other medium- sized prints worthy of study. A mink, Dennis finally decided of one pair, where the slim, lanky mammal went bounding around the roots of a willow tree. Wea- sel tracks we found were similar but smaller. We’ve seen lots of mice and vole tracks, some of them tiny, delicate tracings, some mound- ed tunnels under the snow. They indicate there’s lots of food this winter for red-tailed and rough- legged hawks, great horned owls, and for the local kestrel that often perches on roadside wires in our neighbourhood. Not trusting the ice to be solid on the marsh, given the crazy up and down temperatures, we headed up a little creek valley one afternoon, hoping to make a loop and cross at a narrow spot. That wasn’t possible, either, so we walked on up the stream to the nearest road. Seeing black water bubbling under the thin ice brought back vivid memories of my childhood, and playing along the creek I grew up beside out on the prairies. I learned to skate on that creek, and more than once came home with a soaker from breaking through a weak spot in the ice. At one point we had to cut across a steep slope right above the water. Dennis, with his long legs, loped on across. Much more cautious by nature, I decided to crawl up the slippery bank, clutching at vines and bushes. Which was how I found myself looking straight into the entrance of an animal den clev- erly concealed in the grass. Fox? Skunk? Groundhog? Who knew what furry mammal was curled up inside that safe warm bur- row, wondering who had come knocking on the door? There were no tracks in the snow, but might be if I came back the next morning. Rejoining Dennis at the top of the hill, I was just catching my breath when three deer, a doe and last year’s twin fawns, went bounding down the valley right below us, their coats the same grey-brown of the cattails. As we carried on up the creek we found deep, pointed tracks where they’d been sheltering.

Is your pet the sweetest of them all? KrIsten CalIs kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Last year it was Chi Chi the chihuahua that took the title of Durham’s cutest pet. Now is your chance to show Durham that your pet is the sweetest with the second annu- al My Furry Valentine pet photo contest. But because I love pets so much and since it’s the month of love, we’re giving our pet-loving read- ers not one, but two chances to win bragging rights and a great prize this February. For the first contest, your Face- book friends can vote on the Kris- ten’s Kritters Facebook page for your beloved pet, and the second part will take place on our web- site, durhamregion.com, so peo- ple without Facebook can help you win too. So for the Facebook contest, pull out your camera and snap some shots of your pet all decked out in their best Valentine’s Day garb, or simply looking cute. Do you have any old favourites that are just too sweet to resist? Then go ahead and enter them, they’re fair game too. It’s easy to enter. All you have to do is upload a photo of your pet to the photo contest section on the Kristen’s Kritters Facebook page and encourage your friends to “like” the page and vote. The pet that receives the most votes wins. The winner will receive, aside from bragging rights, a $50 gift card to Pet Valu. The contest will go live on Feb. 2 and will conclude on Valen- tine’s Day. The winner will be announced and the photo will be featured on the Kristen’s Kritters page in the paper on Feb. 16. Now here comes the second part of the contest. On Feb. 16, we will upload a photo gallery to durhamregion.com of the top 20 finalists from the Facebook con- test. The photo gallery will be easy to find on the website and all you have to do is scroll through the photos and choose your favou- rite. Simply e-mail me the name of your favourite pet at kcalis@ durhamregion.com (there will be a link to my e-mail along with the photos). The pet’s name I receive the most wins (only one vote per person will be counted). The owner of the winning pet will receive a free photo shoot by a professional photographer and an 8x10 portrait of themselves and their furry Valentine. Everyone who enters must live in Durham. So have fun with this one, rally up the troops to vote, but most of all, give your pets lots of love this month. Fundraising dance Get your dancing shoes ready for a night of fun and a chance to help the animals at the Humane Society of Durham Region.

Nachos, wings, subs and pizza are super-loaded with fat, sodium and calories that can leave you to look like a line- backer from your favourite team. Even if you're not a football fan, pub fare remains a Cana- dian favourite that will help you score points with family and friends. With cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death in Canada, finding a way to serve your favourite foods more sensibly is a sound choice. Innovation specialists at T-fal have designed appliances for healthier living that cooks your fried favourites like french fries and wings with a fraction of the fat — in fact with only 1 tablespoon of oil — without compro- mising on taste. “Proper nutrition not only de- pends on the quality of food we eat, but also on how it is prepared and cooked,” says Noel Gallegos, senior product manager for the nutritious and delicious division at T-fal. “With our state of the art appliances, we are proud to assist families in the preparation of the food they love while helping them develop healthier eating habits.” According to Gallegos, we can indulge without all the guilt thanks to the revolutionary ActiFry, a unique appliance that uses a pat- ented technology that gives fried- like results and taste to foods with only one tablespoon of oil. The de- vice's mixing arm spreads oil uni- formly so your dish will be cooked perfectly without the need for con- stant supervision, making it ideal for entertaining. By controlling overall fat con- tent, this appli- ance can also be an essential tool in the pre- vention of heart disease, diabe- tes and obesity. Steam cook- ing is heralded by health pro- fessionals as one of the best ways to prepare food. The new NutriCook is a steam-engine for the time-starved foodie. This innovative cooking solution uses pressurized steam to prepare a variety of healthy and succulent dishes with little or no fat and in record time. Even time consuming favourites like risotto can be made in less than 10 minutes. The technology adjusts the cooking time for each type of food for a slower as- similation of carbs, while preserving 25% more omega-3 and 2.5 times more vitamin C than with other cooking methods. During the month of February, visit T-fal Canada on Face- book. For every “Like” on its heart healthy recipes, the com- pany will donate one dollar to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. www.newscanada.com Turn pub grub into heart healthy food Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative to medication.

On home ice Saturday night at the Ajax Community Centre, the Lightning scored four times, an abundance for them, in a 4-1 victory over the Mississauga Chiefs. They returned to their old ways on Sunday afternoon in Whitby, but one was enough to earn a point in a 1-1 tie with the Wolves. Leading into the weekend, the Lightning hadn’t scored more than two goals in any of their past six games, and in fact, set- tled for one goal three times and were blanked in another game. So, four against Mississauga was a bonanza. “I’m very happy with the week- end because we played teams who were, at one point, two- three in the standings and we got three out of four points,” said head coach Wayne McDonald. “Against Mississauga we got some goals from girls who haven’t scored a lot of goals, which was really nice.” Scanning the offensive num- bers for the Provincial Women’s Hockey League club, you have to go from the bottom up to find the goal-scoring contributors in the Mississauga win. Sara Lan- nie and Katey Arathoon netted their third goals of the season, while Erika Mitrevski potted her fourth. Marissa Redmond had her eighth of the season into an empty net late in the third for the Lightning, who led 1-0 after the first period and 3-1 through two periods. The following day in Whitby, the Lightning got a second-peri- od goal from Stephanie Cooper, surrendered one in the third, and blanked the overtime in a 1-1 tie with the Wolves. “To get three out of four points against Whitby over the last couple of weeks is good,” said McDonald, referencing the 2-1 victory his team registered over Whitby on Jan. 22. Jackie Rochefort got the call in goal for both games, stopping 24 of 25 Mississauga shots, and 26 of 27 from Whitby. The veteran has started the past three games for the Lightning. “It’s tough to take Jackie out right now,” said McDonald. “It’s nothing to do with what (Kim- berley Keller) is doing, it’s more to do with what Jackie is doing.” The Lightning remain among the top eight teams in the league with a 15-7-2-2 record, just five points out of second place. This weekend will bring games Saturday when they host Auro- ra (17-8-0-1) at 8:30 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre, fol- lowed by a trip to Mississauga (16-5-5-1) on Sunday. AJAX -- Four members of the Durham West Junior Lightning of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League will be playing together at the University of Waterloo next season. They include, from left, Rebecca Rutherford, Michelle Tanel, Marissa Redmond and Lindsey McDonald. This past weekend the Lightning earned three of four points, beating Mississauga 4-1 and settling for a 1-1 draw with Whitby. soccer Exeter invited to U20 national soccer camp Pickering resident on scholarship at university of louisville PICKERING -- Christine Exeter could be having a busy February and March. The Pickering resident who is on a soccer scholarship at the University of Louisville, is one of 22 players who will begin prepa- rations with Canada’s women’s U20 team for the CONCACAF women’s U20 championship in Panama. The team will be hold- ing a camp in Costa Rica starting Feb. 13, with the team heading to Panama on Feb. 27. The camp will be led by new- ly-appointed U20 coach Andrew Olivieri. “It will be exciting to see the future of our women’s program as we work towards the women’s Under-20 World Cup qualifica- tion,” said coach Olivieri. “This is the type of highly competitive environment our players must perform in if they wish to earn regular caps for our senior wom- en’s team”. Coach Olivieri called 22 play- ers from schools and teams in Canada and USA for the 14-day pre-tournament camp. The final 20-player roster must be sub- mitted 48 hours before Canada’s opening match on March 1. The eight-team CONCACAF wom- en’s U20 championship will qual- ify three teams to the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup. As part of the championship preparations, Canada will face Costa Rica’s B side as well as club champions Arsenal Coronado. Canada has chosen Costa Rica as the base for its camp to simu- late similar conditions that can be expected in Panama. The 2012 CONCACAF women’s U20 championship runs March 1-11 in Ciudad Panama and La Chorrera, Panama. Canada’s three group opponents are Haiti on March 1, Jamaica on March 3 and Mexico on March 5. The semifinal matches are scheduled for March 9 while the champion- ship final is scheduled for March 11. Since 2004, Canada has won two CONCACAF women’s U20 championships (2004 and 2008). metrolanD file PHoto PICKERING -- Christine Exeter will be trying out for Canada’s U20 team. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP DRIVING YOUR CAREER There is a great demand for Professional drivers across Canada.
