Almost 500 people attended the sold-out event to raise money for the Ontario Regiment Foundation. “This is wonderful,” said honorary colonel Chuck Mercier, mayor of Scugog. “It’s wonderful from a sol- dier’s perspective.” Attendees enjoyed dinner, music, games, speeches and a silent auc- tion. Broadcaster Ken Shaw served as the master of ceremonies, while cadets helped execute the event. Last year’s event raised about $60,000. Organizers were hop- ing to raise that much or more this year, to support special needs pro- grams, scholarship awards, family assistance and employment aid for soldiers, among other initiatives, including youth programs and The Regimental Museum in Oshawa. Mayor Mercier said supporting the foundation is crucial. “It’s very important, because with- out that (assistance), the soldiers start struggling,” he said. “I think it’s very key to recognize our troops and support them, I think it’s our duty ... We have a number of unem- ployed soldiers right now, which is troubling to me as a colonel.” Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty addressed the unemployment issue as well, noting steps were taken this year to protect the jobs of reserve soldiers, who he said often leave private sector jobs to fight for their country, only to return to find their jobs gone. “We made provisions in the bud- get this year to conserve their jobs, because it’s not right,” he said. “These are incredible people we have in the Armed Forces of Can- ada, the men and women who serve.” Minister of National Defence Peter MacKay also spoke of a need to support Canada’s soldiers. “I’m very proud of the fact that our country has risen up and embraced our troops as they have in recent years,” he said. “Soldiers, more than anything, need to know that their country is behind them ... We are duty-bound as a nation, obliged, to make sure that we take care of our men and women when they return.” He also spoke of the strong mili- tary history in Durham Region and Ontario. “There is a tremendous history in this region, in this province, of defending our country,” he said. “It’s the country it is today, because people have had the will and the character to fight for it.” He spoke heavily of the war in Afghanistan, and urged Canadians to remember that though our com- bat mission there has ceased, there are still about 1,000 Canadian sol- diers working there to bring stabil- ity to the “volatile and challenged” nation. He highlighted some of the pos- itive changes Canadians have helped bring to Afghanistan, not- ing the country’s GDP has quadru- pled in the last four years, while its infant mortality rate, once the world’s worst, has greatly improved. As well, an extra six million youths have been able to attend school, including girls, who were banned from learning before the war began. The country now has nine million youth in school. “Canadians can be so very proud of what is being accomplished by the men and women over there,” he said. “It only happens because of security provided by Canadian sol- diers and their allies.” He spoke of the Canadian mili- tary’s period of inactivity before the war in Afghanistan, and the com- placency Canadians felt as a result. “Somehow, the country sort of became indifferent, and we can never let that happen again,” he warned. “That momentum needs to be there always, and that’s why events like this are so incredibly important ... Quite simply, we don’t know what’s on the horizon. We don’t know where the Canadian Forces will be needed next.” Mr. MacKay added he is grateful for the support of the Durham com- munity. “People who serve in uniform put their life, their love, all they have, on the line for our country,” he said. “Let us never forget their willing- ness to sacrifice all they have, it’s a job like no other.” JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Honorary Col. Chuck Mercier spoke during The Tribute to Our Troops dinner April 26 at the Deer Creek Banquet Facility, which recognized the contributions of local troops and raised money for the Ontario Regiment Foundation, which provides support to sol- diers and their families.

Damion Pearson, already serving life for first-degree murder, was sentenced Wednesday to life with no parole for 25 years for the second-degree murder of 19-year-old Jeff Warne. Mr. Warne was killed execution-style dur- ing a botched robbery at his Hollyhedge Drive apartment on Jan. 26, 2008, shot in the head as he sat on a couch. Mr. Pear- son, 25, who denied pulling the trigger, was found guilty by a jury last December. During the sensational trial Mr. Pearson melted down in front of the jury, clamming up and refusing to answer questions from the Crown. His bizarre behaviour climaxed in a tantrum that one day saw him swear, throw transcript books, and toss a glass of water on a homicide detective. Mr. Warne’s murder was the second com- mitted by Mr. Pearson in January 2008. On Jan. 14 he lured 23-year-old Khristian Ott- ley, a friend, to a parking lot on Valley Farm Road. Mr. Pearson climbed into the back seat of Mr. Ottley’s car with a sawed-off shotgun concealed in his coat and shot the young man point-blank in the back. Mr. Pearson, who had given himself the nickname Degal, had been angered that Mr. Ottley made fun of the nickname, court heard. A jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in spring 2011 and he was given an automatic life sentence with no parole for 25 years. The 25-year parole ineligibility period imposed Wednesday by Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass for the Warne killing was the maximum allowable under the Criminal Code. Mr. Pearson was also sentenced to a con- current term of five years for aggravated assault for wounding Mr. Warne’s land- lord, who was shot in the elbow during the home invasion. Another two-year term was imposed for discharging a firearm dur- ing the commission of an offence. Justice Glass also presided over the trial related to Mr. Ottley’s murder, and imposed the life sentence. Accomplice Jerome Campbell plead- ed guilty to second-degree murder in Mr. Warne’s killing, and manslaughter in Mr. Ottley’s death. He was sentenced in early 2010 to life with no parole for 12 years. �Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? �Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? �Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home?

Somewhere in Whitby we have a remote camera positioned to monitor a pair of Robins who are minding a nest of three little blue eggs. Our live video feed can be viewed 24 hours a day at durham- region.com. We discovered the nest, with three eggs in it, in a Whitby back- yard on Saturday, April 28. The tell-tale sign the nest exist- ed was an excess of bird drop- pings dotting the backyard patio. It didn’t take long for us to find the nest tucked up on the rail of a fence, nestled between the fence and a metal column. The camera, a Lorex LW2311F, is mounted on the fence sever- al inches from the bowl-shaped nest. The wireless camera sends a signal to a laptop inside the house which in turn channels the live feed through a third-party website to durhamregion.com. The presence of the nest means a little inconvenience for the hom- eowner, who will have to postpone use of the nearby table, chairs and cabana until the fledglings have departed. The nest is constructed of dry long grass and twigs. A tell-tale blue string waves silently in the wind signalling the presence of a new family in the neighbour- hood. Robin’s eggs are generally incu- bated between 11 and 14 days after which it takes the fledglings about two weeks to fly from the nest. If all goes well we expect the fledglings to take flight sometime around May 24. However, it’s not uncommon for nests to be raided by predators such as other birds and cats -- but we’re hopeful. To celebrate our the arrival of spring we are holding two Robin Redbreast contests for students in Durham Region. The Robin Redbreast Drawing Contest is open to Durham Region students in Grades 1 to 3. The con- test opens May 3, 2012 at 9 a.m. Deadline for entering is May 18, 2012 at 5 p.m. Students are invited to draw a picture of our robin and her eggs or chicks for a chance to win a pizza lunch for their class. The Robin Redbreast Poetry Contest is open to Durham Region students in Grades 4 to 6. The con- test opens May 3, 2012 at 9 a.m. Deadline for entering is May 18, 2012 at 5 p.m. Students are invited to write an eight-line poem about our robin’s nest for a chance to win a pizza lunch for their class.

USB key lost in 2009 contained personal information on 83,524 people Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A settlement agreement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit involving a USB key lost by the Region of Durham. On April 26, lawyers working on behalf of the Region issued a statement that says under the agreement the municipality will “take steps to mitigate any financial harm suffered by affected individuals who make a claim, and may pay compensation if that harm can- not be mitigated.” Leanna Zylstra of Toronto firm Bogho- sian and Associates, which is representing the Region, says she can’t offer more details, because the agreement still needs to be approved by the courts. “It’s too premature to really give any other information out,” she said. “Because the settle- ment is still subject to judicial approval I can’t say anything about it and what the terms are.” Lawyers for both sides will appear at the Oshawa courthouse on July 3 to ask the court to approve the settlement agreement as “fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the class.” Lawyers with the firm of Flaherty Dow Elliott and McCarthy, which is representing the plaintiff, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In April 2011, a $40-million class action law- suit was filed against the Region of Durham in relation to the loss of a USB key containing personal information about people who had been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. The lawsuit claims the Region was negli- gent, there was a breach of a fiduciary duty, violation of privacy and breach of the Cana- dian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. None of the charges has been proven in court. The USB key was lost by a public health nurse in December 2009 in a parking lot at Region of Durham headquarters. The key contained information on 83,524 people who had been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus between Oct. 23 and Dec. 15, 2009 at clinics run by the Durham Region Health Department. Information collected included names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, health card numbers, names of primary phy- sicians and personal health information pro- vided by people when they got the vaccina- tion.

There are many government programs in place to support this. I am concerned about the over-65 individuals who must continue to work due to the economic roller-coaster. We have worked hard for many years and have done some planning for retirement but events have overtaken many of us. Are we to be swept out into the streets from the homes that we have worked so very hard for? Where is the support to help us stay in the workforce and contribute our skills and learning that are still needed? Not everyone over age 65 is ready for the rocker. I have spent more than a year sub- mitting resumes hoping to gain employ- ment so that I am not a burden on the sys- tem. Soon the actions of government and employers will force me to become a bur- den and complain about supporting me. Pending government policy changes will only make things harder for us. What is being done to allow us continue in the workforce? B.W. Thompson Ajax CyCling Political priority should be safety on roads To the editor: Re: ‘Cyclist, 59, killed in Whitby crash on Monday morning’, news, durhamregion. com, April 16, 2012. Last year on my way to and from work I saw two people, one on a bicycle and the other just a month later on a motorcycle, struck down by cars along that dark unlit road on Bayly Street (it’s Victoria Street in Whitby) from just west of Lakeridge Road to Jeffrey Street east in Whitby. I made numerous calls to Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish about getting street lights. It’s too dark to see pedestrians and bikes on the road, especially with the bright lights of oncom- ing traffic. The mayor said there wasn’t enough need to warrant the expense. On April 16 on Victoria Street close to South Blair, I witnessed a death. A man was struck on his bicycle by the car in front of me. I made the 911 call. There is some stag- gered lighting there, but just on one side of the road and it is still hard to see anyone on the side of the road, whether a cyclist or a pedestrian, in the dark. On Friday, April 20 at 5:45 a.m. another cyclist came within inches of being struck. When they ride on the side of the road there isn’t enough room for both cars and bikes, especially with oncoming traffic. How many more lives will be lost before lights are installed? People need to get to work and there is no other way to get there early in the morning if you don’t own a car, other than walking, riding a bike or a moped. They don’t mind spending mil- lions on an extension and restructuring a hockey arena. Aren’t people’s lives and safety more important than a budget that they know they will not recover on taxes? Politicians needs to rethink their priori- ties for the safety of their community. Laurie Read Ajax FEEdbaCk An airport already exists in Oshawa To the editor: Re: ‘Authority wants decision on Pickering Airport’, news, durhamregion.com, April 12, 2012. I have been a resident of Ajax for some 28 years and have always been intrigued by the story of the Pickering airport lands. I have always wondered why the govern- ment expropriated lands in Pickering for the future Pickering airport, when there is already an airport in Oshawa. Why has no one ever thought about expanding that airport instead of taking perfectly good homes and viable farm- land from Pickering residents? Then once those historic homes had been vacated for so many years the government (Transport Canada) let them fall into such disrepair that most of them now must be demol- ished.Why do we have to build an airport when they could have easily done the same thing (expropriated homes in Oshawa) and expand an existing airport east of the GTA?

The investigation is ongoing to deter- mine the cause of the blaze and whether working smoke alarms were in place, but initial reports indicate that the apartments in the house met necessary fire and build- ing code standards. Official confirmation in that regard is vitally important and will help avoid the rush to judgment that so often play out in such tragic circumstances. As the official probe continues, as three families struggle to confront the loss of loved ones, and as the community col- lectively mourns, we must take a moment to reflect on those young lives lost, offer a silent reflection, and let fire investigators complete the difficult job they have before them. We can also take the opportunity in our own homes, or those of our loved ones, to review fire safety and make changes where necessary to ensure that, should we face an emergency, we tilt the odds in our favour. Does your residence -- single family home, apartment, townhouse, basement flat, wherever you live -- have working fire alarms on every floor? Do you have a pri- mary escape route and alternative routes? Do you conduct fire drills in your home so that all the occupants know where they should be? If you live in an apartment, do you know where the nearest fire exit is located? Do you know what the rules are? Have you discussed fire safety and related issues with building management or fellow ten- ants? Check your smoke alarms and replace batteries or entire units as required. Contact your local fire hall or municipal administration office for important infor- mation that you can use to make your home safer. Plan for and practise with family mem- bers your own fire escape plan, or make yourself aware of the procedures in case of fire in multi-unit dwellings. We’re all touched by this tragedy and the loss of young lives. But we can learn from it. Do what’s necessary to ensure the high- est level of safety in your home and take a moment to reflect on the potential conse- quences. I’m thinking of having a bumper sticker made for my wallet. It’s going to read ‘If you can read my PIN you’re standing too close’. I don’t know what your experiences have been like, but lately I’ve been bumping into a rash of ‘close standers’ as I’ve been checking out at various establishments. Things seem to be getting out of hand in this regard and I’m wondering if maybe some rules need to be laid out. I am tempted to say, use common sense when approaching these situations but, given the shocking diversity of what passes for etiquette amongst humans, isn’t that a little like saying ‘do whatever you feel like doing’? There just doesn’t appear to be any rule of thumb. I‘ve been in some check-outs where the next person in line stood so far away from me you’d have thought I was exhibiting symptoms of Ebola. And still others where the guy behind me was so close one of us was seconds away from get- ting a hickey. It’s unsettling. Then there are those who think that it’s OK to stand near enough to you that you can pretty much count the change in their pocket as long as they’re not looking at the keypad where you are currently entering private information. You can feel their breath on your neck but their head is swiveling around staring at the scenery. This doesn’t count. How do we know you’re not peeking? That’s like letting some guy off the hook for walking into a women’s changeroom while staring at the ceiling tiles. No, some other mechanism needs to be in place. It might be helpful, for instance, if gro- cery stores, LCBOs and other establish- ments where humans line up to pay, took a page out of the airport security handbook. A simple red or yellow line on the floor demarcating the ‘paying’ zone from the ‘preparing to pay’ zone. For visual learners and the terminally thick we could even employ a traffic light type of apparatus. This might do away with yet another check-out irritant; people who seem obliv- ious to the fact that they are, at some point in this process, going to need to produce a form of legal tender, either plastic or cash, to complete the transaction. How many times have you been in a bit of a hurry only to have the individual in front of you grind things to a maddening halt when, remind- ed of this fact by the cashier, they proceed to hunt and peck through their satchel for some form of appropriate wampum? So then, ‘Red’ means stop. ‘Amber’ means get your freaking money out and ‘Green’ means proceed to the till. Anyone running a red would face immediate and severe consequences; either bodily remov- al from the premises or perhaps a smart Tasing from the cashier. I have spoken with a number of people who work at tills and I can tell you all of them have on many occa- sions wished that such a delightful respon- sibility fell within their purview. Cashiers would be lining up in droves to attend Taser seminars. I can’t be the only person thinking about this. Surely the Swiss and/or the Germans have already got a similar system in place. It just makes sense. And, short of placing the keypad termi- nal in a cloistered kind of voting booth ... how else are we to deal with snooping PIN heads? -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, 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 • Ma y 2 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: An Olympic effort Follow us to find out all about Canada’s Olympic competitors as they prepare for the Games this summer in London, Eng- land.

What do you think? She paid the difference, so why the controversy? (15%) For a government that is cutting and reducing, this is insulting.

I positioned myself behind the net during this lacrosse game to get shots of the players trying to score. I think this picture works because of how all the elements lined up. The contour of the shooters body is framed nicely by the goalie, net, and defending player. Local news possibilities expand in online world JOANNE BURGHARDT - EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Managing a community newspaper news- room has changed significantly in the last five years. Community news has always been about local names and faces, about telling the sto- ries our daily cousins don’t. It’s still about hyper-local news, but the addition of digital publishing, in our case durhamregion.com, has broadened storytelling abilities thanks to infinite publishing space and the advent of video and social media. This week we launched the Robin’s Nest Watch, live streaming video of a nest. Prior to the Internet we would have been limited to a print story and a few pictures once or twice a week. When the lifespan of an active nest is less than four weeks, print is not an ideal way to take readers on that journey. Thanks to streaming video our readers can watch when it’s convenient for them. It’s a great opportunity for parents and teachers to introduce their children and students to a live nest without getting too close to it. For myself, it’s a chance to be a little cre- ative and provides a diversion from the more serious side of the news business. We last tried this in 2010 when we success- fully mounted a camera outside my front door to monitor a nest of newly hatched nestlings. Unfortunately, nature has a way of changing your plans: a Grackle raided the nest and that was the end of our project. On Sunday I mounted a camera on the fence in my backyard overseeing a nest of three tiny blue eggs: we’re trying again. On a much larger scale, we have launched our London 2012 Olympic section online. Normally we restrict our coverage to Dur- ham Region but in the case of a worldwide spectacle like the Olympics, hyper-local takes on a new meaning. Sports Editor Brian McNair, who will be in London for three weeks during the Games, will lead our cov- erage of Ontario’s Olympians. Leading up to the Games you will be able to get acquaint- ed with the Ontario athletes through profiles, videos and photos on durhamregion.com. Today’s front-page design is a hint to fur- ther changes coming in our print news deliv- ery. Stay tuned. -- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt recently celebrated 31 years in the community newspaper business. 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 • Ma y 2 , 2 0 1 2 8 P Allmeetingsareopen to thepublic.Fordetails call905.420.2222orvisit theCity website.For Service Disruption NotificationCall1.866.278.9993 Upcoming PublicMeetings Date Meeting/Location Time May2 Committeeof Adjustment 7:00pm Civic Complex –Main CommitteeRoom May7 Planning&DevelopmentCommittee 7:30pm Civic Complex –Council Chambers May10 AdvisoryCommitteeon Diversity 7:00pm Civic Complex –Main CommitteeRoom May14 ExecutiveCommittee 7:30pm Civic Complex –Council Chambers Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 pickering.ca/greatevents pickering.ca customercare@pickering.ca VictoriaDay Holiday Hours Civic Complex (CityHall)905.420.2222 May21 Closed Recreation Complex,Pool&Arena 905.683.6582 May21 Closed Dunbarton Pool 905.831.1260 May21 Closed PickeringMuseum Village 905.683.8401 May21 Closed Pickering PublicLibraries 905.831.6265 May20&21 Closed To ronto and Region Conservation Authority,in partnership with the To wn of Ajax and the City of Pickering,would like to invite you to a public meeting to learn about the Greenwood Conservation Lands Master Plan.

Fill&To psoil Permit The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive insect that attacks and kills only ash trees, has recently been detected in west Pickering. Large ash trees on private property are at risk.To mitigate the infestation, all Pickering homeowners who have ash trees are advised to look for signs of infestation such as “D”shaped exit holes on the tree trunk; signs of woodpecker damage; and/or thinning near the top or ‘c rown’of the tree. If EAB is detected early enough, or if the ash tree appears healthy,the tree may be treated with TreeAzin (a naturally occurring bio insecticide), which has shown to be effective in controlling EAB and keeping ash trees alive and healthy.If a tree is heavily infested (more than a third of the crown has died off ), the City recommends removal for safety reasons and to prevent the continued EAB spread. Residents with a heavily infected ash tree should contact a certified arborist for proper removal.Trees that are taken down can be burned in home woodstoves and fireplaces, but cannot be taken as firewood to a cottage or campground outside of a federally regulated area.

DURHAM -- Jeff Goring’s penchant for making his mark on other people’s property developed in his teens. Cloaked by darkness, he’d sneak out at night armed with rattling cans of paint and make his way to a nearby bridge to get started. Soon, the sun would rise, casting light on his sprayed masterpiece -- his own private art opening. “A lot of kids on their first time out don’t know any better and their whole mentality is to just put their name everywhere,” says Mr. Goring, 31. After more than 15 years as a graffiti artist, first dabbling in the style as a young vandal and now while creating professional murals with his cloth- ing company, Sonz of God, Mr. Goring understands the thrill. “I love it because it’s all based around letters and painting with a can is completely different from paint- ing with a brush,” he says. “It dries quickly and you can work on a huge scale.” Graffiti generally refers to unauthorized writing or drawings that are scribbled or sprayed on a wall or other surface in a public setting. From its most rudimentary forms, “tags” or “throw-ups,” to the more elaborate “pieces” that rival works on display in galleries, graffiti can crop up anywhere. In Durham, the most common public places to spot ille- gal graffiti are on bridge underpasses, traffic signs, fences and playground or park equipment. Private property such as businesses situated in downtowns or other heavily congested pockets are also popular targets. “There is certainly graffiti going on in parts of Whitby, parts of Ajax and certainly, we hear a lot about it going on in Oshawa but it’s not limited to those areas,” says Morgen Dob- son, Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator with Durham Regional Police Services. “Anywhere where there is urban connection, and even in some rural places, whenever you have people and wherever you have the opportunity, then that’s when crime hap- pens.” But while residents of urban cen- tres might grow to accept it as part of an evolv- ing streetscape, Mr. Goring believes people in suburban parts tend to be less tolerant of the adrenaline-fuelled act. “What’s tough with the culture in this area is kids get hooked on it but there’s no place for them to do it,” he says, while admiring his latest piece -- the words “Kony 2012” embla- zoned on a wall at Diana, Princess of Wales Park. The skate park, located behind Pickering Recreation Complex, is one of the few sanctioned graffiti zones in the region.

Is th ere anything nat u r o p a t h i c medicin e has to offer to help us? By: ANKE Z IMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. O ne of the simplest things you can do is to change the lighting in you r home and in you r son’s school to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies schoo l children exposed to full sp e c t rum lighting in the schools showed be t t e r concentration, reduced hyp eractivity, bette r reading abilities a n d test results, as well as faster grow t h , f e w e r a b s ences dues to illn e s s and 1/3 fewer toot h c a v ities. Parents could lobby the sc h o ols to have the standard fluorescent lig hting replaced by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting a t home.

By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to illness and 1/3 fewer tooth cavities. Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting at home.

How to Maximize Your Backyard Enjoyment By: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Drive Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pool s & S pas NEW PIC By: DEANNA WINGER Supple menta l Educatio n Who’s in charge?

Now that spring is here, you may find it easier to be more active. But don’t forget about your investments - they need exercise too. For starters, put your money in motion by investing the same amount, at regular intervals, into the same investments. When prices are down, your investment buys more shares, and when prices are up, you buy fewer shares. Over time, systematic investing can help reduce your investment costs, but it doesn’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. And keep in mind that you must have the financial resources available to invest in up and down markets. Another way to exercise your money is to invest dividends you receive. It’s an easy,“pain-free”way of adding shares, which is key to building your wealth. Start exercising you money soon - it can be healthy for your portfolio.

The Ajax resident, who is set to graduate after four years on a soccer scholarship at Lincoln Memorial University, a Division II school in Harrogate, Tennessee, had one of the top awards at the school bestowed upon her at the annual athletic banquet. The B. Frank Turner Award recognizes not only her ability on the field and in the classroom, but also her volunteer work. “I knew I was a candidate, I knew I was nominated, but I had no idea that I was get- ting it,” she says. “A couple of sentences in you figure it could be you, a few sentences later people start looking at you. Your heart starts to race. “It was a great way to finish off four years. It’s extremely humbling.” The award honours one female and one male athlete with the Railsplitters who best exemplify the combination of leadership, cit- izenship, academics and athletics. Where to start with her accomplishments? In terms of her volunteer work, it’s exten- sive. Her personal ‘baby’ is a Girls on the Go program that was launched at Carruther’s Creek Public School. It’s aim is to get girls to think positively about body image, eating properly and fitness. “Children are our future so what better way to get the ball rolling than with them, so they can influence generations to come,” she points out. Last summer she travelled to Romania with Habitat for Humanity, helping build an orphanage. “That was something I always wanted to do,” she says. “It was one of the best experi- ences of my whole life and I’m so thankful that I was able to go.” She has also donated her time to the Make- A-Wish Foundation and the Red Cross, and was an ambassador for the school, repre- senting the university in a variety of events. “I feel you have to take on challenges to really grow as a person and see how many lives you can change,” she says of her unself- ish commitments. In the classroom, Taylor holds a 3.65 cumu- lative grade point average as she nears gradu- ation, earning a spot on the Dean’s List every semester. On the pitch, she was moved from a defender her freshman season to a midfielder/forward for her remaining three years, blossoming as a goal scorer. A four-year starter and two- year captain, the Ajax High School graduate finished her career eighth on the all-time list for goals with 31, fourth all-time in minutes played with 5,256, and her 22 assists rank her sixth all-time. “I enjoyed the assist record being up there more than the goals,” she says of the accom- plishments. “It was more gratifying to get an assist than a goal. That means you are work- ing with all your teammates.” Her contributions weren’t lost on head coach Helio D’Anna. “Sarah has been a pleasure to coach for four years,” he says on the school’s website. “I can recall so many games in which oppos- ing coaches and even officials commented after games about how special of a player she was. But she has done so much more beyond the soccer field. She personified a Railsplit- ter athletically, academically and socially at LMU. She leaves a legacy behind.” Now that her four years have finished at Lincoln Memorial, Taylor is looking to extend her studies, hoping to obtain a mas- ters degree in nutrition and exercise science. The fond memories and friends she has made will be hard to leave behind. “Leaving here isn’t just leaving school, but we are leaving each other as well and that’s going to be different,” she says of her team- mates, roommate from Scotland, and friends from Florida and Tennessee. “Trying to get everyone together or stay close will be a chal- lenge.” SuBMitted photo HARROGATE, TENNESSEE -- Sarah Taylor, of Ajax, chased down a ball while playing for the Lincoln Memorial Lady Railsplitters. The senior was the recipient of one of the most prestigious awards at the school, recognizing her leadership, citizenship, academics and athletics. hocKey Vella garners academic award PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College women’s ice hockey player Jes- sica Vella of Pickering has been recog- nized by the American Women’s Hockey Coaches Association as a National Aca- demic Scholar. To earn the honor, student athletes must have a grade point average of 3.5 or better over two semesters, have dressed for 75 per cent of the team’s games and be a member in good stand- ing with their team and school. Vella, a junior health policy man- agement major, received the team’s academic award in 2011 and is a two- time Hockey East All-Academic selec- tion. This past season, she played in all 37 games while tallying a career-best 18 points on nine goals and nine assists. She tied for the team lead with three power play strikes, and also contributed a shorthanded score while helping the Friars reach their sixth Hockey East championship in the last 10 campaigns. SwiMMing acevedo named to north american challenge cup team AJAX -- Ajax Swimming’s Javier Acevedo, who was recently named to the Swim Ontario Tri-Meet Team, has a busy summer ahead of him. Acevedo has also been named to the 2012 Swimming Canada North American Challenge Cup team, which will compete against all-star teams from Mexico and the United States in early August. The annual competition rotates between host countries, and will be held in Edmonton this year. The team is generally composed of 50-70 members, in age categories from 11-12 right up to 17-18. The team is selected based on Canadian age group rankings at the end of March each year. Acevedo was selected on the strength of his performances in freestyle swims at the Ontario junior provincial champi- onships. Ajax Swimming athletes are no strangers to the North American Chal- lenge Cup. Acevedo becomes the fourth club member to be named to the team since the meet’s inception in 2006, join- ing Julian Monks (twice), Zach Fedak (three) and Michelle Fleming (once). Head coach Matt Bell has also attended the meet on two occasions as a member of the staff and has placed at least one swimmer on the NACC Team in every season since becoming head coach at Ajax. 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 • Ma y 2 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP FREE CHILDREN’S TICKETWith The Purchase Of Adult Ticket.

After some 30 years with the Peterborough Petes, the longtime general manager had become quite comfort- able during his time away, working the last two seasons as an amateur scout for the Phoenix Coyotes. But a phone call from Oshawa Generals part owner Peter DeBoer piqued Twohey’s interest, so much so that the long-time Pete decided to cross the lines and take the helm as GM of the Generals. Twohey, who was intro- duced at a press conference last Friday at the General Motors Centre, said this job was likely the one and only position that would have been enough to lure him back into the league. “It’s a good situation. The pieces are all in place for it to be a first-rate organization,” Twohey said in an interview when reached over the week- end. “It works for my fam- ily. Really I couldn’t find any negatives about it. I knew if I didn’t do it I would always regret it, so the decision was a relatively easy one. “When you step back and reflect on it, it is special to be a part of a historic orga- nization like the Generals. It felt good (Friday) and con- tinues to feel good,” Twohey added. While some may question the hiring of someone who has been out of the league for a couple of years, and one whose last few seasons in Peterborough yielded little in the way of success, there are few around who know the OHL as well as Twohey. He’s served in near- ly every capacity imaginable going back to his days with the Petes and over the past two seasons, his job with the Coyotes has afforded him the opportunity to get a good grasp on how the rest of the league operates. “The OHL really opened up to me,” he said of what scouting the league for an NHL team was like. “A lot of the coaches and general managers were very open with me. I got to kind of get their point of views on a lot of things and wasn’t distract- ed by my own team.” But Twohey knows it’s now time to shift gears again. The Peterborough native took up shop in his new office at the GM Centre this week and will spend the next lit- tle while getting to know the organization inside and out, he said. His plan is to meet with as many players and exist- ing staff as possible and get a pulse for what went wrong this past season, a year that opened up with lofty expec- tations but ended in disap- pointment with a first-round playoff exit. “Having not been there on a daily basis, I think it’s important that I take some time here and get to know the organization inside out before we start to move for- ward,” Twohey explained. Once that process is com- plete, Twohey will shift his focus to finding a coach. Despite the fact the Generals will hold their annual rook- ie camp next week, he says it’s not a necessity to have a coach in place by then. In fact, it sounds as though he plans to take his fair share of time with the process. “I know the type of coach I think I want, but again I want to kind of move slowly with it,” he said. “I know in talk- ing to Pete DeBoer especial- ly, that he shares my view. It’s an important hire and not something we can rush into. We’ll take the necessary time.” PHoto by walter PaSSarella OSHAWA-- Jeff Twohey, new general manager of the Oshawa Generals, was introduced at a press confer- ence on Friday. 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 • Ma y 2 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP SATURDAY MAY 26, 2012 Pickering Town Centre 9:30am - 6pm For information on how toparticipate please call 905-683-5110 SUMMERREGISTRATION& EDUCATIONSHOW BEd inAdult Education InformationSessions followed byQ andA: Thursday, May 10 1 to 2 p.m. or 6 to 7 p.m. DurhamCollege Community Room (RmA144) GordonWilley Building 2000SimcoeSt. N.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYESAND EARS ON THE INTERNET? Soccer Pickering Soccer Club launches anti-bullying campaign this season Stop Bullying Now for players, parents, officials PICKERING -- This summer the Pickering Soccer Club will take a big step in addressing and dealing with the issue of bullying in the community and in society. The Stop Bullying Now campaign was officially launched in Pickering on April 27. The event is a pre-season exhibition game played at Kinsmen Park locat- ed at the end of Sandy Beach Road in Pickering. Following the launch of the campaign, and during the course of the entire out- door season, all referees will wear a vest with the Stop Bullying Now logo clear- ly visible to all spectators and play- ers while officiating weekly scheduled games on soccer fields throughout the City of Pickering. This has never been done before by any sport organization in this province and in this country, according to the soccer club. It has the potential to reach thousands of players and their families on a daily basis. The message will be loud, clear and visible to all ... Stop Bul- lying Now. During the summer outdoor season, thousands of families in the commu- nity will be exposed to the message. It’s hoped the campaign will generate dia- logue between children and their par- ents. Studies have shown that less than 50 percent of bullying is reported and that in some types of bullying such as cyber- bullying, children might feel that they have to deal with it on their own or that authority figures in their lives just wouldn’t understand. According to Bullying Canada (www. bullyingcanada.ca), bullying can make children feel lonely, isolated and unsafe, can make them sick and it can have long-term physical and psycho- logical consequences. Bullying can kill. A headline in the Toronto Star last September read “Dis- abled Pickering boy took his own life after he was mugged and bullied.’ “In light of recent local events, the club has the opportunity to reach out to the many youth and adults we serve in our community,” said club president Phil Frampton. “Why not use the game of soccer to get this important message across?” The hope is that other soccer commu- nities and sporting organizations Can- ada will follow the lead and join in the fight against bullying. According to the Canadian Soccer Association, there are more than two million registered soc- cer players in Canada and more than 400,000 in Ontario. “I commend the Pickering Soccer Club for undertaking this pro-active measure to help combat the problem of bullying,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “We want to increase awareness so that chil- dren and their families can engage in an open, healthy and meaningful dialogue on this pervasive problem.” If you would like more information about this initiative, contact Tony La Ferrara, club head coach, at 416-835- 0269 or via e-mail at headcoach@pick- eringsoccer.ca. 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 • Ma y 2 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP Business & Law Honours Business Administration Supply Chain & Logistics Accounting & Payroll Administration Paralegal (LSUC Accredited) Law Clerk Police Foundations Technology Mobile & Desktop Support Technician Video Game Design & Development Web Design & Development Network Engineer Network Specialist Oshawa Campus: 200 John St. W.

I s there anything natu r o p a t h i c medicin e h as to offer to help us? By: ANKE Z IMME RMANN Naturopathic medicine can b e helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. O ne of the simplest things you can do is to change t he lighting in your home and in your son’s school to full sp ectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum o f light frequencie s . In several research studies schoo l children exposed to full spe c t rum lighting in the schools showed b e t t e r concentration, reduced hyp eractivity, better reading abilities a n d test results, as well as faster grow t h , f e w e r a b s ences dues to illne s s and 1/3 fewer tooth c a v ities. Parents could lobby the sc h o ols to have the standard fluorescent lighting replace d by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting a t home.

Ho w to Maximize Your Backyard EnjoymentBy: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoye d y e a r-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Roma n s ’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Dri ve Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pool s & S pas YOU DO THE DREAM I N G . . .

By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to illness and 1/3 fewer tooth cavities. Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting at home.

How to Maximize Your Backyard Enjoyment By: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Drive Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pools & Spas YOU DO THE DREAMING ...
