Students from both Northumber- land and Durham Region will be part of a group of 4,000 students, parents and chaperones on a trip commemorating the 95th anniversary of the battle at Vimy Ridge in France. Dave Robinson, national tour coordi- nator for Education First Educational Tours, called it “the world’s largest field trip.” The battle at Vimy Ridge took place April 9, 1917, and is regarded as a turning point in Canadian history. Four Cana- dian divisions fought together as a uni- fied force for the first time and with a vic- tory over German forces, it is often cited as an identity forming moment for Can- ada. The battle claimed the lives of 3,598 Canadian soldiers. There are students from every prov- ince in Canada joining the tour, said Mr. Robinson in a telephone interview from Alberta. He has been leading tours since 2004 and took a group to Vimy for the 90th anniversary. Students who experi- enced that tour have called it “life chang- ing,” he said. They have come back with a new appreciation of Canada’s history and its military tradition. The Vimy Ridge memorial monument was designed by Canadi- an architect and sculptor Walter Seymour All- ward and unveiled on July 26, 1936 by King Edward VIII. Anyone who has vis- ited the monument always remembers that first breath- taking glimpse, said Mr. Rob- inson. “I get to relive that 4,000 times,” Mr. Robinson said. “It is the most spectacular war mon- ument in the world,” he said. Every Canadian should make a pilgrim- age to the site, at least once in their life- time, he added. The 4,000 people on the tour will march in complete silence to the Vimy monu- ment, said Mr. Robinson. Joining the students will be 15 alumni of the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize, said Nicho- las Alexandris, executive director of The Vimy Foundation in Montreal. The annu- al scholarship is awarded to youth 15 to 17 years old. The 18 students chosen for the prize travel Europe and take part in an intensive program studying Canada’s role in the First World War. The last Canadian veteran of the First World War died in 2010, said Mr. Alexan- dris. “We have no living links of the First World War left,” he said. The Vimy Foundation aims to preserve Canada’s past through the education of the youth, he said. The alumni will share their experience with the 4,000 participants in the EF Edu- cational Tour, said Mr. Alexandris. The Canadian government announced Governor General David Johnston will travel to Vimy on April 9, along with Ste- ven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, to attend a special commemorative cer- emony marking the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In Durham Region, participating stu- dents are from All Saints Catholic High School, Henry Street High School, Sin- clair Secondary School, Father Leo J. Aus- tin Catholic Secondary School, Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute, Monsi- gnor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, Maxwell Heights Secondary School, Eastdale Collegiate Vocational Institute, Courtice Secondary School and Clarke High School.

A new report from the Region of Dur- ham says about 1,300 local adults and 200 children used emergency hostel services in 2011. There are 93 hostel beds in the region -- 40 for single men at Cornerstone Com- munity Association in Oshawa, 40 for single women and their chil- dren at Muslim Wel- fare Home in Whitby and 13 for youth at Joanne’s House in Ajax. People from other demographics, such as couples with chil- dren, are accommo- dated at local motels. Mary Menzies, the Region’s director of housing services, says occupancy at hos- tels usually hovers around 75 per cent. “That means about 70 people are sleep- ing in emergency accommodation every night of the year, and at least two families are in a motel,” she says. Those numbers don’t represent the entire homeless population. Officials have no way of tracking how many people are “couch surfing” with friends and family, or poorly housed in sub-standard or overcrowded conditions. “We hear anecdotally about people liv- ing in a one- or two-bedroom apartment with five or six other people, or more,” Ms. Menzies says. Many others are constantly at risk of becoming homeless due to lack of afford- able housing and low vacancy rates. Durham’s rental vacancy rate has been dropping for the past six years. Three per cent is considered a healthy rate -- Durham currently sits at 1.7 per cent. Holly Norwick, a housing worker with John Howard Society of Durham, says that means there is stiff competition when an affordable unit comes on the market. She works with clients in Clarington and says an average one-bedroom in that municipality costs about $700 a month -- a tight squeeze for a single person receiv- ing Ontario Works or disability support. “If something comes up that’s $650 there is so much competition for it,” Ms. Norwick says. “If someone has any issues, like a bad credit history, that’s a problem.” Rent is con- sidered “affordable” when it does not exceed 30 per cent of a household’s gross income. The new report from the Region says a single person would need a full-time income of $15.73 an hour, or about $32,000 a year to comfortably rent a one- bedroom in Oshawa, Whitby or Claring- ton. At the end of 2011 there were 4,315 households on the Region’s waiting list for rent-geared-to-income housing, an increase of 20 per cent since 2006. Applicants wait an average of four-and- a-half years for a spot.

Parents of acting out youth have a lot of guilt and shame and fear, and we know because we felt that way.” Mr. McMillan, president of HOPE, says his teenage daughter’s issues, including trouble with the law, were causing constant friction at home. He credits HOPE with teaching him to disengage from the battle. “You have to invest some time and ener- gy in yourself as well,” he continued. “If all your time and energy goes toward dealing with your child, eventually you just drown in it.” Ms. Coffey also found that stepping back and getting a new perspective helped ease tensions between her and her daughter. “The greatest gift I gave my daughter was responsibility for her life,” she said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to watch them fall down or fail but by letting them make their own choices it makes them who they are.” Both parents now enjoy close relation- ships with their daughters, which they cred- it to the support they received at HOPE. “It’s a safe, non-blaming atmosphere,” Mr. McMillan said. “We don’t judge people and we don’t tell them what to do, we support them and we offer advice based on our experiences. It’s not a pity party, it’s about giving people tools to set boundaries and a safe haven for them to talk about their concerns.” The organization is open to any Durham parent who has concerns about their child. “We have parents who come because their children’s rooms are so messy it’s driv- ing them crazy, and others whose child has been arrested for drug trafficking,” Ms. Cof- fey explains. “This is for the parents, so it’s about anything that’s disturbing to them.” HOPE will have an information booth set up at the Pickering Town Centre on Sunday, April 22 and will also host a conference on Saturday, April 28 at the Ajax Convention Centre.

PICKERING from page 1 Ajax love letter writer: ‘I’d do it again’ KrIsten CAlIs kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Paul Gomille doesn’t regret writ- ing his love letter to all women, or handing it out at school and believes his suspension for doing so will remain on his record. The Grade 12 student at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School was sus- pended after he distributed a letter he wrote to students on Valentine’s Day. “Real attractiveness comes from having a certain dignity,” he wrote. “It comes from hav- ing class. It comes from being true to yourself, being yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin.” The Durham Catholic District School Board wouldn’t comment on the specific case for privacy reasons. Paul’s peers circulated a petition asking that the suspension be removed from his record, and a number of them have Tweeted on the issue. Following a story by the News Advertiser, Paul faced a media storm, appearing in newspaper articles, on radio talk shows and even facing criticism for his actions. But he didn’t mind. “It helped me through negative feed- back to gain thicker skin,” he said in an inter- view. His teachers still treat him the same way, and students have stood by him. “At school everyone supports me,” he said. “That’s a really great part I guess.” If Paul wants the suspension wiped from his record, he’ll have to go through an appeal pro- cess before a committee made up of school board trustees. He’s not sure if he wants to go through with it since he feels it’s unlikely the committee will remove his suspension. He still stands by his message in the letter. “I’d do it again,” he said. Paul wrote in his letter his message was for the silent, intelligent women who don’t talk about people behind their backs or wear revealing clothing, and that the girls who con- sider themselves the opposite of this demo- graphic don’t have to dress or act a certain way to be attractive. Paul had originally intended his message as a speech, and was prepared to read it at an assembly. But he said the administration at his school later had problems with the word- ing and felt it offended some people. He said they wanted it changed, and when he feared it would change the meaning of his message, Paul made photocopies and handed them out on his lunch break. He was later suspend- ed for two days.

At the other end of the spectrum is a person like Atiyya Bacchus, who makes us proud of our young people and their commitment to bettering our world. The 16-year-old Pickering High School student is one of five recipients of a Glob- al Changemaker award from the Ontario Council for International Cooperation. The award this year focused on young Ontarians working to empower women and girls locally or globally. “A negative connotation is generally associated with youth, especially if cer- tain stereotypes seem to be reinforced,” Atiyya says. “Youth involvement in the community breaks down barriers and disintegrates misguided assumptions.” Atiyya’s involvement in the communi- ty is extensive. She volunteers with the Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre of Durham, has start- ed a knitting circle for young mothers at the Pickering Library, has a six-year-old reading buddy with Pickering Reads and is a member of the YMCA Employment Resource Centre’s Youth Leadership Corps. She was surprised to receive the award, noting she doesn’t volunteer for the rec- ognition. Instead, Atiyya gives back to her com- munity based on her passions and inter- ests. She says she stripped away some of the things she was doing, reasoning “it is better to put all of my effort into ventures that I love than to be spread out and have no quality in my work.” Still, she’s a very busy young woman. It was difficult for us to reach her, not because she wasn’t willing to be inter- viewed, but simply because she has so much on her plate. Atiyya says it’s important for her peers to become involved in local and broad- er issues, noting that in doing so people might discover something about them- selves, such as previously unknown tal- ents or interests. Let’s be clear that what’s important isn’t just that Atiyya as a youth is involved in her community. It’s that she provides meaningful assistance where she vol- unteers. And, as she says, following her passions and interests plays a big part in the commitment she demonstrates. She is an example of the tremendous contributions many young people make in the community and the potential within them to achieve great things in the future. While many of us mainly use social media to connect with our friends and family, increasingly it looks like our online pres- ence is having a serious impact on the jus- tice system. Twitter and Facebook activism is being credited with the reopening of a shooting case in Sanford, Florida. The case involves the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Mar- tin. He was shot by George Zimmerman, a Neighbourhood Watch volunteer, who said the shooting was a case of self-defence. Mr. Zimmerman had identified Trayvon as a suspicious person and had been follow- ing him around the gated neighbourhood. The public, citing the fact that Trayvon was unarmed with only an iced tea, a bag of Skittles and cellphone on him when he was shot, was outraged when police declined to charge Mr. Zimmerman. Part of the outrage involved that fact that Trayvon was black and the public ques- tioned whether he would have been singled out by Mr. Zimmerman if he was white. The case garnered international attention with names associated with the case trend- ing on Twitter. Celebrities Wyclef Jean, Spike Lee and Blair Underwood have mentioned the case via social media. Mr. Underwood’s Facebook post on the issue has more than 1,200 likes, more than 230 comments and has likely been seen by tens of thousands of people as users share it with their friends. Fuel was added to the fire recently when police released the 911 call from Mr. Zim- merman where the dispatcher told him he didn’t need to be following the teen. With the buildup of public attention, the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI opened an investigation into the case after local Sandford police had closed it. Mr. Zimmerman’s guilt or innocence has yet to be determined, but I suspect the back- lash on this case will at least prompt officials to prosecute the case so it can be deter- mined in a court of law. Take the local example of Ragurub Yog- arajah, who was charged with fraud after a video of a collision he was involved in appeared on YouTube. Mississauga resident Herman Sham was on Hwy. 401 during rush hour and traffic had slowed to a stop-and-go pace. Mr. Sham’s dashboard camera record- ed Mr. Yogarajah’s vehicle rolling back and bumping Mr. Sham’s car. Mr. Sham labelled the video “scam foiled”, posted it on YouTube and accused Mr. Yog- arajah of demanding $500 for damages on the spot. Mr. Yogarajah subsequently said the video resulted in him being targeted in his neighbourhood, with people visit- ing his home and postering his neighbour- hood about the incident. He has since said he simply made a mistake and didn’t real- ize the car had rolled back until he saw the video. As a result of an insurance claim, the OPP charged Mr. Yogarajah with fraud over $5,000, public mischief and attempted fraud. I don’t know that it was the YouTube video that prompted police to investigate the case, but it certainly put it into the spot- light, resulting in a press release from police when Mr. Yogarajah was charged. And again, while members of the public have made up their minds on guilt or inno- cence, the case still has to go to court. That said, both cases affirm that the use of social media has an impact on police work and that the public certainly has a powerful voice in demanding justice. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

I caught a glimpse of its yellow breast and jet-black V on its throat as we zipped past on the way to the farm Friday evening. My husband heard a meadow- lark singing as he headed out to the barn to get the tractor going early Saturday morning -- and then a bluebird. I’d hoped to hear bluebirds during our work weekend at his family’s farm in Haliburton County, but didn’t really expect to this early in March. So I was delighted to hear that low, bub- bling song myself when I got out to the edge of the hayfield where we were cutting and splitting firewood. It was foggy all day Saturday and warm enough to work with- out a jacket. And then Sunday dawned, a glorious sunny day. I stood in the farmyard, coffee in hand, and watched a pair of kestrels chase each other around the neighbourhood, very much interested in nesting yet again in the wood duck box Dennis hammered up on the side of the barn a few years ago. I was surprised they were back already, too, but with the weather so warm it felt normal having them there, along with the redwings, grackles, robins and meadowlarks. Walking out to the field where Dennis was cutting up a fallen basswood, I heard honking, and stopped to watch three big V’s of Canada geese high in the sky, heading north. And then the loud croaking call of sandhill cranes, unmistakable and thrill- ing. The day was magical. Red- shouldered hawks, purple finch- es, pine siskins, a snow bunting -- so many welcome voices, all migrating north at once with the balmy weather. I was deeply touched to find a phoebe sitting atop a small willow in a hollow in the hayfield, bobbing its tail and singing its buzzy “fee-bee” song. Every year without fail a pair nests in the woodshed at the farmhouse, practically part of the family. I heard bluebirds every time I took off my ear protectors and turned off the splitter, and that afternoon, instead of going for another load of wood, we did my favourite job at the farm: cleaned out bluebird boxes. Dennis has been maintain- ing nest boxes on the farm for 50 years, starting soon after the European starlings arrived and took over all their natural nest- ing cavities. I was warm in just a T-shirt as we rode the tractor from stone pile to stone pile, where the boxes are mounted atop iron posts, protected from weasels and raccoons. As we drove up to one way at the back of the hayfield, a blue- bird pair was already checking it out. We made sure it was clean, sturdy and snug for them.

Please don’t let your dogs run around off-leash Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- On my drive to work one morning last week, someone could have mistaken me for a dog- napper. I was driving along a busy Oshawa street when I noticed a dog running all by its lonesome along the side- walk. Naturally, I pulled over and got out of my car to get the dog. I had assumed it had gotten loose and wanted to return it to its owner. Crouched down and calling the dog over -- its new name became “Puppy” -- I was thrilled when it ran towards me and was wearing a col- lar (I’ve had less successful experi- ences in the past). But instead, the dog dodged me and ran into a house like it’s an everyday routine. A girl had opened the door for the pup to come in so I asked her if it was her dog and she said yes. I bet after closing the door, she called, “Mom, some lady tried to steal the dog.” But I hope it means this family will think twice before letting it run around on its own. When this hap- pens, it’s very stressful to a passerby who is also an animal lover. I feel like I have to stop and do something to help. For all I knew, this dog was lost or could have got- ten hit by a car. Even a usually well-behaved dog who normally doesn’t go on the road could see a squirrel or another dog and run into traffic. A similar incident happened to a colleague a couple of months ago, except she was on foot. Videogra- pher Mandi Hargrave was on a jog along Simcoe Street in the south of Oshawa when she noticed a puppy running loose. Taken by its cute- ness, she had a fleeting urge to scoop it up and take it home, but instead she did the right thing and knocked on the nearest door. Sure enough, a woman opened the door, grabbed the puppy and closed the door on her. No thank you, no noth- ing. As the woman closed the door, Mandi heard her shout out that the dog had escaped again. “It made me wish I had gone with my first reaction and kept the dog,” she laughed. And you know what? Someone could have easily taken it. So please, for your dog’s safety and my sanity, take your dog out- side on a leash. If you let your dog out in the backyard, make sure it’s enclosed so Rover can’t escape. If you want to let it run free for some good exercise, take advantage of one of Durham’s many off-leash parks.

The birthday celebration was a certainty, turning 21 along with his twin sister Acacia earlier this week. The world championship celebration will play out next week when the Pickering resident and his ice dance partner, Kharis Ralph, represent Canada at the 2012 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Nice, France. It’s the first time the duo will perform at the senior event, so celebrating a championship when it comes to a close on April 1 will cer- tainly be a tall order. But the chance to perform and share the ice with the best in the world is reason enough to celebrate. Being relative newbies on the international stage at the senior level, Hill is just hoping to close out the season with a solid performance. “We’re going in to show what we can do,” he says. “We’ve made a lot of improvements this year and we’re finally getting recognized for the difficulty we’re putting into our skating. We just really want to go to the worlds with our last performance of the season and make it a really good one.” The duo, who are in their 11th year skating together out of the Scarborough Figure Skat- ing Club, have been on the international stage before. At the 2008 World Juniors, they finished eighth, bettering that in 2009 with a fifth place performance. At the Canadian championships held in Moncton in January, they finished fourth in the ice dance, but because one of the skaters on the third place team is an American, that team is ineligible to represent the country at worlds, so Hill and Ralph got the nod. They will be one of three teams competing for Canada, and if they want to gauge how tough the competition will be in France, they don’t have to look far. The Canadian team of Tessa Virtue and Scott Muir are going as well, with an Olympic gold medal from the 2010 Games in British Colum- bia, as well as a world championship from the same year, on their resume. “Because we are the third team going (from Canada) we just want to go without any expec- tations,” Hill says. “We’re expecting ourselves to skate really good performances, nice solid performances. Hopefully our marks will reflect that. “If we’re going for placement, hopefully we would be top-12.” While Hill will be skating among the world’s best, at one time he couldn’t stand being on the ice. It was actually his sister who joined fig- ure skating, and because he was going to the rink anyway, his parents decided it would be a good idea for him to join. Turns out it was a bad idea. “I actually really hated it,” he recalls with a laugh. “I would lie on the ice and cry. They would have to bribe me with candy to stand up and skate. I hated it. I was always on the floor or ice crying.” He quit, but eventually went back. The sec- ond experience was much better than the first. When he’s not skating under the tutelage of coaches Carol and Jon Lane, and Juris Razgul- jaevs, Hill is a full-time student at Ryerson University, where he is studying occupational health and safety. The Dunbarton grad says that after worlds he will take a break for a cou- ple of weeks, then begin choreographing rou- tines in preparation for next season. suBmitted Photo PICKERING -- Asher Hill (right), of Pickering, and his ice dance partner Kharis Ralph will rep- resent Canada at the 2012 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Nice, France. track and Field Five medals for the speed academy PICKERING -- The Speed Academy brought home a total of five medals from the U.S. Indoor High School National Championships, which was held in New York. Mariam Abdul-Rashid led off the medal haul by winning the Grade 9 girls 60m and 400m. Her winning time of 55.99 seconds in the 400m was a new U17 provincial record. Her 400m perfor- mance was one of the most impressive of the competition. Brandon Bobb matched his person- al best time of 6.73 seconds to take the silver medal in the boys 60m dash, nar- rowly missing the gold by just one 100th of a second. Tacuma Anderson-Richards won a pair of bronze medals. He cleared a high of 2.01m in the boys high jump and leaped 14.71m in the triple jump to earn a spot on the podium. Winning five medals at the U.S. High School National Championships is the club’s greatest accomplishment to date.

Goalie Kevin Bailie was the big winner, recognized three times. The 20 year old, who hadn’t established himself as a No. 1 until mid- way through this current season, won the Duncan Ferguson Memorial Tro- phy for dedication and per- severance from the Boost- er Club, the most valuable teammate award from his peers, and the most valu- able player award from the fans. Bailie started in 24 of the Generals’ final 27 games and led them into the play- offs, finishing with a 20-14- 2-2 record, 3.15 goals- against average and .910 save percentage. Andy Andreoff won the President’s Award for total contribution to the hockey club. The Pickering over- ager finished tied for third on the team with 58 points, including 22 goals, in 57 games. Cole Cassels, the team’s first round pick in the last draft, won the rookie of the year award after putting up 3-8-11 numbers in 64 games. Christian Thomas was named the most valuable forward after leading the team with 67 points and sharing the lead in goals with 34 in 55 games. Colin Suellentrop, who had 2-15-17 stats and was a +10 in 67 games, was deemed the most valuable defenceman, while J.P Lab- ardo took home the Mad- eleine Ashmore Memorial Trophy as most underrat- ed after putting up 8-11-19 numbers in 50 games. Although not recognized by the team, captain Boone Jenner did figure the most prominently in the annual OHL coaches’ poll, topping the list of hardest workers in the Eastern Conference and finishing second in the faceoff category. Ironically, he lost out there to Niaga- ra’s Alex Friesen, whom he will be battling with when the playoffs begin this week. Thomas finished second in the best shot category, behind Ottawa’s Tyler Tof- foli, and Bailie finished tied for third as best puck-han- dling goalie. Whitby’s Josh Shalla, who had 40 goals and 76 points in 53 games with the Sag- inaw Spirit, was all over the Western Conference list, finishing second in both best shot and hardest shot and third as most danger- ous in the goal area. Bowmanville’s Mitch- ell Heard, of the Plymouth Whalers, was voted the best on faceoffs.

While the College has been in Whitby for over 8 years successfully training students in their Education Assistant program, it has embarked to bring many of the other programs it has been successfully delivering for almost 30 years in the South Eastern part of Ontario. With a proven track record, and thousands of graduates gainfully employed in the Kingston and surrounding areas, KLC College has undertaken an ambitious expansion to their Whitby Campus. The first program to receive approval from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities is their Personal Support Worker Program. This 24 week Diploma is both nationally recognized and accredited by the National Association of Career Colleges. Program coordinator, Audrey DeCecco, claims strong support from the local area employers. “Their enthusiasm and willingness to work with our students and graduate was very encouraging. We are very excited about the career opportunities that exist for our graduates.” She continued. The College Director, Stephen Bartolini, hopes to build on the success that the Whitby Campus has had training Education Assistants over the past 8 years. Under the leadership of Norm Rudd the program coordinator, students receive a well rounded education. They are given particular exposure to dealing with students that have special needs. Child development, communications, behavior and education foundations are all covered extensively, and much, much more. The host schools welcome our students because of their ability to deal with these exceptionalities. The students are exposed to both elementary and high school environments, so that when they graduate they have a broader range of employment opportunities. KLC College is now preparing for an intake in April for the Personal Support Worker Program as well as an intake in September for both the PSW and the Education Assistant Programs.
