bed bugs calls
so far this year> JILLIAN FOLLERT

DURHAM -- It’s been almost three years since David Rostek last
woke up to itchy bed bug bites across his arms and stomach.
The local man has long since moved out of the Oshawa apart-
ment building where he experienced two bed bug infestations
over the course of a year, but the experience is never far from his
mind.
“I don’t bring anything into my house now that is used, no
used furniture or clothes or anything,” he says.
In 2009 Mr. Rostek was one of several residents from a Non-
quon Road highrise who spoke out about bed bug problems,
prompting the City of Oshawa to investigate.
One of their biggest concerns was a lack of public education
on the pests. They were shocked to see building maintenance
workers dragging infested mattresses though the halls, spread-
ing the bugs as they went.

WHITBY -- Laura Freeland, of the Durham Region health department, with a bed bug, which are flat before they engorge with blood.
The department is launching new bed bug awareness initiatives to help tackle the problem with the pests.

Rates of cervical cancer
higher among young
women in Durham
Jillian FolleRt
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Nurse practitioners are on the
front lines in the fight against cervical can-
cer -- the only problem is many patients
don’t know it.
Regular pap tests for sexually active
women are the best defence against the dis-
ease, but it’s a little known fact that nurse
practitioners are qualified to perform the
test and interpret
the results.
“It isn’t only family
doctors that can do
it, registered nurses
and nurse practitio-
ners can too,” says
Claudia Mariano, a
nurse practitioner
based in Durham
and president of the
Nurse Practitioners’
Association of Ontario.
She wants to raise awareness of the role
nurse practitioners play, especially in light
of troubling new data that shows high-
er rates of cervical cancer among young
women in Durham as compared to the
provincial average.
Metroland Media Group’s Durham
Region Division recently reported on a
new study that shows the incidence of cer-
vical cancer among Durham women ages
20 to 34 was 10.8 per 100,000 between 1986
and 2007, while the rate for Ontario was 7.4
per 100,000.
While the health department’s three sex-
ual health clinics offer pap tests -- they did
more than 6,400 between 2006 and 2010
-- the option is only available to women 25
and under.
Those over 25 without a family doctor
often struggle to find a place that will per-
form the test.
Ms. Mariano says Durham needs to find
creative ways to address the gap, such as
creating a dedicated pap test clinic staffed
by nurses and nurse practitioners.
“We have a wealth of nurses in this area,
access doesn’t need to be a problem,” she
says. “Cervical cancer is one of the very few
cancers that is completely preventable, it’s
wrong that people are having trouble get-
ting tested.”
A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse
with advanced education.
They work in a
variety of settings
including hospitals,
primary care clinics
and long-term care
homes.
There are also
26 new nurse prac-
titioner-led clinics
in Ontario -- one of
which is in Oshawa
-- and 50 new fam-
ily health teams that include nurse practi-
tioners.
In addition to pap tests, nurse practitio-
ners are able to perform a range of services
including routine prenatal checkups and
baby exams, writing prescriptions for most
medications, treating minor problems
such as ear infections, stitching wounds,
monitoring chronic illnesses and ordering
tests such as X-rays and ultrasounds.
To find a nurse practitioner, register with
the Province’s Health Care Connect pro-
gram by calling 1-800-445-1822 or visiting
www.health.gov.on.ca.

Durham’s nurse
practitioners want
to close pap test gap
We have a wealth
of nurses in this area, access doesn’t
need to be a problem. -- Claudia
Mariano, nurse practitioner
RYan PFeiFFeR / MetRolanD
PICKERING -- Claudia Mariano is a nurse practitioner with the West Durham Family
Health Team. Many women don’t know that nurse practitioners can screen for cer-
vical cancer by performing pap tests.
It’s why Mr. Rostek was relieved to learn
the Region of Durham released the final
draft of its Bed Bug Action Plan this
week.
“It provides a more co-ordinated
approach,” says Laura Freeland, man-
ager of environmental health with the
Region.
The plan lays out tailored recommen-
dations for community stakeholders
ranging from hotels and school boards
to long-term care homes and recreation
centres.
For example, hotels are urged to
remove any potentially infested guest
rooms from service until they have been
checked by a pest control expert, inspect
any adjacent rooms and seal any fur-
niture and mattresses before they are
removed from affected rooms.
School boards are encouraged to
develop cleaning schedules focused on
lost-and-found areas and upholstered
furniture as well as conduct regular bed
bug inspections.
The number of bed bug-related calls to
the Durham Region health department
has been climbing steadily for years,
with 230 calls received in 2011 compared
with just 27 calls in 2007, 89 in 2008, 97
in 2009 and 183 in 2010.
So far in 2012 the health department
has fielded 103 bed bug calls, up from 77
this time last year.
“The number of calls is increasing, but
that doesn’t necessarily mean there are
more bed bugs ... it could also be people
calling for information,” Ms. Freeland
says, noting the Region ran a bed bug
public awareness campaign in February
and March.
Another key part of the action plan
is clarifying how bed bugs fit into local
bylaws.
Durham’s eight municipalities each
have their own property standards
bylaws, which contain different wording
but all essentially require buildings to be
kept free of rodents, insects and pests.
Municipal bylaw officers have the
option of issuing a property standards
order to eliminate bed bugs.
The downside is that the orders can
only be enforced 21 days after notice is
served to the property owner and non-
compliance typically results in a mon-
etary fine, which is not always a deter-
rent.
The health department surveyed
municipal bylaw divisions and found
Ajax, Brock, Clarington and Oshawa cur-
rently respond to bed bug complaints,
while Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge and
Whitby do not.
The action plan recommends the local
municipalities put common bed bug
language in their bylaws -- including a
clear indication of who is responsible for
controlling bed bugs and a mechanism
for enforcement.

Annual event to feature food
and entertainment
PICKERING -- Get out those wet naps and get ready for
the return of the annual Rotary Ribfest.
The fifth annual Rotary Ribfest will be taking over Espla-
nade Park from Friday, June 1 at noon through Sunday,
June 3.
This year’s event features nine professional ribbers
including Silver Bullet, Hawgs Gone Wild, Bone Daddy,
Billy Bones, Boss Hogs, Camp 31, Bibb’BBQs, Horn Dawgs
and, new to Ribfest this year, Sticky Fingers. And there’s
not just pork on the menu. Guests can also
enjoy chicken, burgers or tasty snacks such
as bloomin’ onions.
The event will feature live entertainment,
an open-air marketplace and a carnival
with children’s rides and games.
The Pickering Rotary Ribfest is commit-
ted to being the greenest ribfest in Canada
and extensive attempts have been made to divert
waste from landfills. All cups are recyclable and ribs will
be served in compostable containers with compostable
utensils.
Due to the amount of food on hand, guests are asked to
leave their pets at home. Pickering Ribfest is a pet-free
event.
Money raised during the event will go
to a wide range of community initiatives
and organizations, including the Salva-
tion Army and the Rouge Valley Health
System.

Durham must take a stand against
contraband tobacco sales, distribution
In a perfect world, nobody would be
addicted to tobacco.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a per-
fect world and tobacco abuse takes the
lives of an estimate 45,000 Canadians
every year.
Still, it is a legal product, controlled to
an extent through government regula-
tion.
It is also an important revenue stream
for convenience store owners in Durham
Region who are beset by the competition
from unregulated contraband cigarettes
that come easy and cheap from various
producers.
A group that represents convenience
store owners is calling on Durham
Region officials to show support for the
industry here at home by writing to the
provincial government and demanding
tough penalties for those convicted of
illegal tobacco offences.
It also wants expanded powers for the
Durham Regional Police Service and
OPP officials since current legislation
only allows RCMP to lay formal contra-
band tobacco charges.
Though there are mechanisms in place
for municipal police forces to act as des-
ignated excise agents, expanded powers
will proportionately expand investiga-
tions and, presumably, the number of
charges laid and convictions secured.
Regardless of one’s views on tobacco
use and abuse, governments must level
the playing field for convenience store
owners and crack down on contraband
cigarette sales and consumption.
Each bag of these contraband smokes
-- you can obtain as many as 200 for as
little as $20 -- represents a loss of reve-
nue for business owners and a loss of the
taxes paid to various levels of govern-
ment.
Each group relies heavily on legal sales
of the product to boost revenues.
Convenience store owners are small
business entrepreneurs, not entirely
unlike a tradesman who runs a sole pro-
prietorship, or a local resident who oper-
ates a home-based business.
Imagine the impact on an electrician
and his or her business if they had to
compete against others using cheap and
unregulated electrical components on
the black market, of questionable quality
and even murkier origins.
In the interests of fairness to all and in
the interests of supporting small busi-
ness owners in Durham Region, officials
here at home should take action, speak
out on behalf of convenience store own-
ers and take a clear stand against the sale
and distribution of contraband tobacco.

The thing that first drew my attention to
Pinterest was a photo of cheesecake-stuffed
strawberries that kept appearing in my
Facebook feed.
Facebook friends who had joined the rap-
idly growing new social networking service
were sharing the same photo or variations
of it.
The concept behind Pinterest is a familiar
one.
When I was a teen I had a bulletin board
in my bedroom and it was always packed
with stuff I’d scrounged.
Among it all: photos with friends, concert
ticket stubs, the odd newspaper clip, a travel
brochure of somewhere I hoped to one day
go, invitations to birthday parties and a tear-
out poster of Brad Pitt from a cheap maga-
zine.
Pinterest is the digital version of that.
Users can browse different categories like
gardening, food and drink, kids, pets, art,
home decor and more. If they see some-
thing they like, they pin it, sticking it to their
own board so they can refer back to it.
They can also upload their own images or
images from websites they’ve visited. The
photos then link back to the website.
Photos show who has re-pinned it and
people can also click ‘like’ or comment on
images. Browsing Pinterest is almost like
flipping through a magazine where you stop
only when a photo draws your attention.
Beyond simply saving the images, you can
share them with friends through Facebook,
Twitter, e-mail or embedding them on your
own website. Which explains why I kept
seeing those cheesecake-filled strawberries.
In fact, the food and drink category is prob-
ably the most popular on the site.
One of the reasons I love it is because you
don’t have to know what you’re looking for
to come up with ideas.
For example, I recently had a little gather-
ing for friends and I was looking for appetiz-
er ideas. If I go to a recipe site, I have to pick
categories to browse like dips or sandwich-
es or something like that and I’ll probably
come to the most popular and conventional
ideas. With Pinterest, I can search appetizer
and simply scroll down until a photo catch-
es my eye and I may come across something
totally new.
The site launched in March 2010 and by
December 2011 it had cracked the top 10 of
social networking sites.
To register, users can either get an invita-
tion from a friend already on Pinterest or
they can request an invitation through the
site. I asked for one and got one the next
day. Once they get an invite, people can use
Facebook or Twitter to login.
And it’s not just users who love Pinterest,
it’s advertisers too.
Companies can create their own boards
making for easy browsing for their custom-
ers and the gifts section is full of gift ideas
with the price tag at the top left corner so
users can choose items that range from $1
to more than $500.
Clicking on the image lets users pur-
chase it. One study found that users click-
ing through Pinterest spent on average $180
compared to Facebook users who spent
$85.
This is important because the longevity of
a social media site is dependent on finding
the right mix between pleasing users and
pleasing advertisers and it seems like Pin-
terest is off to a great start.

Musical competition
highlights talented seniors
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Seniors will be getting a
turn in the spotlight during the annual
Senior Star competition.
This is the sixth year for the competi-
tion, which is a national musical compe-
tition for seniors hosted by Chartwell.
“It’s essentially American Idol for
seniors,” said Jenn Churchill, marketing
manager at Chartwell’s Parkway Retire-
ment Residence.
“We definitely want to celebrate seniors
and celebrate the great talents they have.
It’s a musical competition so we get sing-
ers, piano players and more, it’s fantas-
tic.”
Pickering City Centre, at 1801 Val-
ley Farm Rd., will host an area com-
petition on Thursday, May 24 at 7:30
p.m. Finalists will then move on to the
Durham regional competition, to be
held at the Pickering Town Centre
on June 21.
“This competition is
growing larger and larger
every year,” Ms. Churchill
said, noting last year’s finals
saw groups crowding the
shopping centre’s food court
and hanging over the second
floor level above to watch perform-
ers.
“Every year we get more and more
seniors knocking on our doors wanting
to participate, we’re very excited to see
the competition grow.”
Finalists from the regional competi-
tion will have the chance to move on to
the national finals, which will be held in
November.
The public is invited to attend the
Senior Star competitions to witness the
talent of area seniors.

PICKERING -- Residents of Dur-
ham can share their love of read-
ing with this year’s Pass the Book
program.
Libraries across Durham have
come together for the annual
program, which includes collab-
orative programming across the
region based on one novel. This
year’s winning pick is Fauna by
Alissa York.
Located in and around Toron-
to’s Don Valley, Fauna tells a tale
of love, redemption, friendship
and trying to figure out where
one fits in the world.
“The book is fantastic,”
said Cathy Grant, CEO of the
Pickering Public Library, which
hosted a launch event for this
year’s Pass the Book on May 14.
The program fosters communi-
ty engagement with local librar-
ies and community discussions
surrounding the winning novel.
“This is an opportunity for
everyone in the community to
read the same book and partici-
pate in a shared discussion and
community building,” Ms. Grant
continued.
“We hope people will read the
book, talk to neighbours and
participate in programming. It’s
something to talk about that’s
working from a shared experi-
ence and shared characters from
the novel.”
Libraries across Durham
will be hosting ongoing pro-
grams centred around the novel
through the spring, summer and
fall, including author visits. This
is the first year that every library
in Durham Region has partici-
pated in the program.
“I encourage you to spread
the word about the Pass the
Book program as well as share
the books with your family,
friends and neighbours,” said
John Sabean, chairman of the
Pickering Library Board.
For more information on
the program, visit www.pass-
thebook.ca or visit your local
library.

DURHAM -- Sure, it’s a cliché --
‘getting up with the birds.’ We say it
all the time without really thinking
about it, beyond imagining a robin
or cardinal singing as the coffee
perks. But to truly ‘get up with the
birds’ is a magical, unforgettable
exercise worth making an effort to
experience, right now, at the peak
of breeding season.
As soon as male birds wake up
they start to sing, adding voice
after voice into the morning still-
ness, until the world is filled with
light and song. What a great way
to start the day! Robins, cardi-
nals, song sparrows, chickadees,
mourning doves are all singing by
5 a.m. these days, everywhere in
Durham.
But for the full impact of ‘get-
ting up with the birds’ you have
to get into the country, preferably
to a woods. Say, for example, the
Ganaraska Forest high atop the
Oak Ridges Moraine.
You’ll arrive in the dark, so might
hear the call of a barred owl just
going to roost after a night of hunt-
ing for mice and voles to feed her
babies. Throughout that sandy
terrain whip-poor-wills will be
hollering -- one of the few places
in Durham where these nocturnal
birds are still holding their own.
Just as at risk are nighthawks, aer-
ial insect-eaters that short decades
ago were common throughout
southern Ontario, but whose
numbers are drastically declin-
ing. In Ganaraska at dawn you can
still hear their buzzy calls as males
fly about, on territory, performing
booming dives in courtship dis-
play.
At the first tinge of grey light the
thrushes begin: robins, of course,
but also wood thrush, hermit
thrush, veery. Their distinctive,
often beautiful notes seem to echo
through the trees and hang in the
still air. No wonder they’re famous
for their singing!
Rufous-sided towhees are
early risers, too, calling ‘drink
your tea....!’ over and over. Oven-
birds often sing in the dark, their
emphatic ‘teacher, teacher, teach-
er’ almost the loudest song in the
forest. And in wet places, along the
south edge of Ganaraska, snipe
may be winnowing.
Rose-breasted grosbeaks and
scarlet tanagers sound a lot like
robins, grosbeaks stringing the
musical phrases together with-
out a break, and tanagers sound-
ing raspy, like a ‘robin with a sore
throat’.
Sparrows wake up next: song
sparrows, chipping sparrows, field
sparrows, each in their own habi-
tat. And white-throated sparrows,
whose clear, haunting “Oh Cana-
da Canada Canada” is one of the
most beautiful of the morning.
Winter wrens add their voices,
and blue jays and crows. If you’re
lucky you may hear a grouse
drumming, or a turkey gobbling.
Overhead you’ll hear the twitter-
ing of tree swallows, which are up
early, too, scooping insects out of
the air.
Soon a whole range of warblers
are singing, and indigo buntings,
eastern wood-peewees and red-
eyed vireos -- birds that will sing
all day long.

links.net or 905-725-2116

ners of the planet.
Heatstroke, death
could happen fast
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- I met my mom at the
Oshawa Centre on Saturday and
she was in a panic when two dogs
were barking in a van parked in the
lot.
Saturday was not as hot and
humid as it gets in July or August,
but it was pretty warm and I shared
her concern.
So we went to the help desk and
asked them to make an announce-
ment. Instead they contacted mall
security, who said they’d monitor
the van and would call Oshawa Ani-
mal Services if they had to. About an
hour later we checked and, thank-
fully, the car was gone.
According to the Ontario Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals, dogs should never be left in
the heat. This includes cars, or even
outdoors on hot days. Dogs only
have a limited ability to sweat, so
even a short time in the heat can be
fatal or cause brain damage. Tem-
peratures inside a parked car can
reach dangerous levels in no time,
even on relatively mild days. A dog’s
normal body temperature is 39 C,
and they can only withstand a tem-
perature of 41 for a short time.
Even a few minutes can be fatal.
“A few minutes is a death sen-
tence,” says Durham Humane Soci-
ety president Karin Martens.
There is no need to take dogs
shopping. Although they may whine
or bark a little when you leave, it’s
much better to keep them at home
than parked in a car, she says.
What to do if you notice a dog in
distress? Call the Humane Society
at 905-665-7430 ext. 225.
If a dog is showing signs of dis-
tress and the door is locked, cruelty
prevention officer Debbie Hough-
ton will break a window to get them
out. The repair costs are up to the
owner.
If it’s after hours, call Durham
police at 905-579-1520.
If your dog does get heatstroke,
act immediately. Signs include
increased heart rate, excessive
panting or drooling, listlessness,
confusion or disorientation, bright
red gums, vomiting or diarrhea, col-
lapse, seizure or coma, or a body
temperature higher than 40 C.
Move your dog out of the heat
right away. Use a hose or wet towels
to start cooling it down, but do not
use ice, and offer your dog water.
Take your dog to the vet immedi-
ately, and continue cooling it with
wet towels on the drive. If you can’t
get to a vet right away, monitor your
dog’s temperature and check for
signs of shock. Stop the cooling pro-
cess when your dog’s temperature
reaches 40 C -- the dog’s tempera-
ture can drop too low and it could
go into shock.

Don’t leave dogs in the heat
DURHAM -- It’s important to keep pets cool in the heat. Heatstroke
can lead to death, so never leave your pet in hot, enclosed spaces
or even outdoors in hot temperatures. If your dog shows signs of
heatstroke, use a hose or wet towels to start cooling it down and
offer water.

to medication.
In fact, study after study has shown CBT to be as
effective as pills for the treatment of depression and
more effective than pills for the treatment of anxiety.

NC- The summer heat should
not stop anyone with arthritis from
getting a regular workout. But for
many, heat, humidity and the dis-
tractions provided by backyard bar-
beques or weekend getaways can
test your willpower when you're
trying to stick to an exercise plan.
Remember, though, that inactiv-
ity can lead to a loss of strength,
reduced flexibility and more pain.
Exercise play symptoms and mini-
mizing damage to the joints. The
Arthritis Society offers the follow-
ing tips for keeping your cool and
working around Mother Nature:
• Go early or late. Exercise when
it's coolest—early in the morning
or late in the evening.
In 2003, at age 27, Steven Scholze was diagnosed with
melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers. He had a mole
on his back examined by his family doctor who didn't
think it was anything serious, but suggested a biopsy
just to be sure. The biopsy confirmed melanoma.
Although very thankful for the lifesaving diagnosis,
now as a nine-year melanoma survivor and a family
man, Scholze lives every day with the nagging concern
that he could develop a secondary melanoma.
“An early diagnosis gives you the best chance against
melanoma,” he explains. “I recently moved to Vancou-
ver Island and was on a waiting list for a regular check
up with a dermatologist for almost a year. Given the
growing shortage of dermatologists in Canada and the
long wait times, I desperately want a device that can
help doctors quickly scan any suspicious spots and
provide an accurate and immediate diagnosis. For me,
such a device would mean peace of mind.”
New device can detect skin cancer in less than two seconds
A recent development in this field
has given Scholze good news: The
made-in-Canada Verisante Aura
has been approved by Health Can-
ada, and is slated to start produc-
tion soon. Scholze says he was so
convinced of the potential for this
device to make a difference for
people like him that he even in-
vested his own money to support
the technology.
Developed for more than 10 years
at the BC Cancer Agency and tested
on about 1,000 lesions at the Skin
Care Centre at Vancouver General
Hospital (VGH), the device uses a
light ray to assess a suspect skin le-
sion as cancerous or benign in less
than two seconds. When available
for sale in Canada in the second
half of 2012, it should be able to
help patients avoid unnecessary biopsies and doctors
detect more early-stage cancers that sometimes go un-
diagnosed until too late.
“With skin cancer on the rise and an aging population,
I am pleased that we now have an objective tool to as-
sist medical professionals in diagnosing skin cancer
quickly and accurately,” said Dr. Harvey Lui, one of
the co-inventors of the Verisante Aura. Dr. Lui is also
a professor and head of the Department of Dermatol-
ogy and Skin Science at the University of British Co-
lumbia and is the director of the world-renowned Skin
Care Centre at VGH.
Early detection and diagnosis save lives. When mela-
noma is diagnosed early, data shows that patients have
a 99 per cent chance of survival. In the late stages, it
drops to 15 per cent.

Q. Is hearing loss common?
A. Hearing loss is the fastest growing and one of the most
prevalent chronic conditions facing Canadians today.
According to the Hearing Foundation of Canada,“…
hearing loss is a health crisis in the making. People are
losing their hearing earlier in life than ever before. Even
teenagers are now affected by hearing loss in growing numbers.”
Q. What are the most common causes of hearing loss?
A. Presbycusis or age-related hearing loss is one cause and accounts for 30%
of all hearing losses. Research has shown that genes play an important role in
age-related hearing loss and one gene responsible, the GRM7, gene has finally
been identified. As we get older, it is inevitable that some loss of hearing will
occur.
There is no real prevention but one thing for sure, hearing loss is more visible
than hearing aids. Today’s hearing aids are small and invisible with high
technology to help people hear in background noise, hear their TVs and all done
so without whistling or acoustic feedback. Hear so much better for so little!
The second most common cause of hearing loss is due to noise. The world
is noisier and many have unsafe listening habits.“Upwards of 10% of the
population is now reporting hearing loss… with 1 out of every 5 teenagers
having some degree of hearing loss.”
The best prevention: Avoid loud sounds and loud music. Hearing protection
should be worn when operating lawn mowers, riding motorcycle, attending
concerts.
The message is clear:Have Your Hearing Tested Today!

Some of us have been letting our guard
down in the sun.
A recent Harris/Decima survey of more
than a thousand participants showed that
Canadians are applying sunscreen less fre-
quently now than in past years. Today, 46 per
cent of us apply it “always/often” as com-
pared to 51 per cent in 2009. The same sur-
vey revealed that two-thirds (65 per cent) of
Canadians are getting sunburned “about 4
times a year, or less”. Evidently, we are not
protecting our skin as fervently as we used
to, all of which has heightened the concern
among sun care professionals about serious
damage.
Exposure to the sun (or to ultraviolet light
from tanning beds) can impact the skin in a
number of ways from wrinkles and sunspots,
to deadly skin cancer melanoma. As summer
intensifies, here's a refresher on how to be
more of an activist for your skin's protection,
courtesy of specialists in this field, Neutro-
gena:
• Lower skin cancer risk by: avoiding the
most direct rays between 10am – 4pm; wear-
ing sunglasses and protective clothing like
wide-brimmed hats; using a sunscreen prod-
uct with “broad-spectrum” protection from
both UVA and UVB rays and a sun protec-
tion factors of SPF30.
• Be observant with frequent self-exami-
nations. To help sort out the difference be-
tween cancerous and non-cancerous spots,
physicians often use the “ABCDE” method.
Look for:
A - asymmetrical (uneven) shape
B - borders that are irregular
C - colour that varies from one area to an-
other
D - diameter larger than a pencil eraser.
E – evolving characteristic like a change in
size, shape, colour, elevation, or symptoms
such as bleeding, itching or crusting.
S c h e d u l e
a visit to a
specialist if
any abnormal
moles are dis-
covered. An annual skin cancer screening is
recommended to identify cancer in its early
stages.
Cosmetic removal of a freckle or mole
with laser, resurfacing or microdermabra-
sion could delay appropriate treatment for
skin cancer. It's best to seek a medical opin-
ion before undergoing any elective cosmetic
procedure.

Beating the heat with these tips
• Stay inside. You can be as physically active in-
doors as outdoors. If you find outside conditions too
hot, try walking on a treadmill in the gym, swimming
at a community pool, walking around a museum or
stretching while watching TV.
• Hit the dirt (or grass). Pavement radiates heat, so
walk in areas with dirt trails, lawns or similar surfac-
es.
• Dial down the intensity. During cardio activities,
like walking, reduce your normal pace, ramping up
the intensity with 30-second speed bursts every five
or 10 minutes. This reduces stress on your heart, while
maintaining your fitness level.
• Choose cool clothing. Try loose, light garments
made of material that wicks moisture away from the
skin (cotton, for instance).
• Stay well-hydrated. To avoid dehydration, drink
enough fluids both before and after exercising. These
fluids should supplement the eight 8-ounce glasses of
water every day that experts recommend. When exer-
cising, it’s useful to have a bottle of water with you.

able online at www.arthritis.ca.

Annual event raises
funds for neuromuscular
disorders
DURHAM -- Take a walk to help fight Mus-
cular Dystrophy in Durham.
On Sunday, May 27 join the annual Walk
for Muscular Dystrophy to help raise funds
for muscular dystrophy research and assis-
tance for families dealing with the disor-
der.
Muscular dystrophy is the name for a
group of neuromuscular disorders charac-
terized by progressive weakness and wast-
ing of muscles that control body move-
ment. As muscle tissue weakens and wastes
away, it is replaced by fatty and connective
tissue. Over time, people with neuromus-
cular disorders may lose the ability to walk,
speak, and ultimately breathe. There is cur-
rently no cure.
Participants can walk, wheel, or run and
choose from either a 1- or 5-km route. The
celebration will also feature activities for
kids, snacks, refreshments and prizes.
The walk will be held at Heydenshore
Park in Whitby and registration begins at
10 a.m. For more information or to register,
visit wwww.muscle.ca/walk or email walk-
formusculardystrophy.on@muscle.ca. The
event is fully accessible.

SoccerNext stop: World Cup
Madeline Iozzi,
Kailen Sheridan,
Nichelle Prince
part of U17 national
soccer team
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The opportunity to
test their skills against the best
players in the world should pres-
ent itself in September for three
area soccer players.
Madeline Iozzi, Kailen Sheri-
dan and Nichelle Prince recently
returned from Guatemala where
they helped the Canadian U17
soccer team to a silver medal fin-
ish at the 2012 CONCACAF cham-
pionships. The second-place finish
assured Canada a spot at the FIFA
U17 World Cup to be held in Azer-
baijan from Sept. 22 to Oct. 13, as
the top three from the CONCACAF
tournament advanced.
For the Canadian trio, the CON-
CACAF tournament unfolded as
expected, with Canada waltzing
through group play undefeated in
three games, then beating Mexi-
co 1-0 in the semifinal game that
punched their ticket to the World
Cup. In the gold medal game,
despite outplaying the United
States in terms of possession and
territorial edge, the Canadians
were edged 1-0.
The march to the medal round
included lopsided victories over
Panama 6-0, Jamaica 4-0 and the
host Guatemala 6-1. The wins
helped the team get into a rhythm
heading into the semifinals, said
Sheridan, a goalkeeper who post-
ed three shutouts in the tourna-
ment.
“The first three games were
warmup games. They were big
scores and we did have an advan-
tage against those teams,” said the
Whitby resident who attends Grade
11 at Father Leo Austin. “Going
against Mexico we knew exactly
what we were going up against. We
knew they were going to be a really
good team and we knew we had to
focus and play our game.”
Knowing what was at stake
against Mexico in the semifinals
-- a free pass to the World Cup --
Canada elevated its play to record
a 1-0 win, with celebrations taking
place all over the field at the final
whistle.
“It was really exciting because
we worked really hard,” said
Prince, an Ajax resident who is in
Grade 11 at Pickering High School.
“We’ve been working for this since
August, so it was exciting that it all
came together and we knew our
goal was accomplished.”
Sheridan echoed those com-
ments.
“That was our main goal going
into this tournament was to quali-
fy (for the World Cup). The Mexico
game was the biggest game for us.
As a team our focus was the semi-
final game. It was a large celebra-
tion because we accomplished
that goal.”
But once the post-game celebra-
tion wore off, the team realized
that there was still some work to
do, said Iozzi, who played left full-
back for Canada.
“We got back to the hotel and
had a meeting and we realized we
were going to the World Cup, but
then we had to get focused and
get ready to play the U.S.,” said the
Grade 11 student at Pickering High
School.
A goal by the U.S. midway
through the first half was all that
was needed, as Canada came up a
goal short in its quest for gold.
“Our whole team was disap-
pointed after the game against the
U.S. because we thought that we
played great,” said Iozzi, an Ajax
resident who has a verbal commit-
ment to attend Mississippi State
for soccer upon graduation from
high school. “I was disappointed
that we didn’t win but I was real-
ly proud of what we did in that
game.”
Prince, a striker who has verbal-
ly committed to Ohio State, had
a great tournament, managing to
score a couple of goals along the
way.
“I was asked to come in and
score goals for the team and make
an impact, so I went out there and
tried to do that,” she said. “I think
I did well. I did what my coach
asked me to do. There’s always
room for improvement, so I’m not
thinking I did everything right. For
World Cup I have a lot to improve
on and I’m excited for that.”
Canada will be holding a cou-
ple of camps over the summer in
preparation for the World Cup.
There were 30 players on a list for
CONCACAF, with 20 named to the
team. The roster that will represent
Canada is still to be determined,
but it’s expected the core of the
team that won silver will be back.
All three local players certainly
hope that’s the case.
“I think it’s one of the greatest
opportunities to be given at this
stage. It’s the biggest competition
in soccer for us,” said Sheridan,
who has a verbal commitment
with Clemson.
Prince is confident Canada will
do just fine at against the best in
the world.
“I think we proved at the tourna-
ment that we are just as good as
some of the best teams and we can
match up against any team,” she
said. “We still have a lot to work on,
but I think we are going to do fine.”

Paintballers roll over competition
Pickering Lost Boys
are looking to place
first at this summer’s
xsports tournament
tyLEr richards
trichards@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- According to sta-
tistics published by the Minneso-
ta Paintball Association, the sport
of paintball is statistically one
of the safest sports on the plan-
et with only 20 injuries for every
100,000 players.
This is echoed by the captain of
the Pickering Lost Boys paintball
team, Mike Burton. He says paint-
balling is one of the safest, easiest
and most fun sports you can play.
Last summer he and his team
of eight took on the Xsports tour-
nament in Gananoque, where
they placed third, a huge feat for
a team full of players that couldn’t
get onto other professional paint-
ball teams because they had no
experience in the game.
Well, they have experience now,
and this year Burton said 20-25
people showed up for tryouts.
“I told them all that we can
teach them how to paintball, but
we can’t teach them the right atti-
tude for the sport.”
Burton and his brother Chris
want to bring awareness to the
sport of paintball. He said there
are people in the U.S. who get
paid to play the sport, but that
type of paintball hasn’t caught on
in Canada yet.
“People like to play the sport
and rent the equipment, but not
get involved,” Burton said.
Xsports is hoping to change all
of that. This year they were given
an Active Ontario grant to build a
professional paintball arena at the
Gananoque Recreation Centre.
Burton and his Boys train three
to five times a month at the Next
Paintball Field in Pickering. Next
sponsors the Windsor Lockdown
in the Canadian Extreme Paint-
ball League. They train by run-
ning drills and playing match-
es against each other as well as
against the Lockdown.
The 2012 Xsports is held on two
weekends in July and features five
sports: paintball, BMX biking,
flatland biking and skateboard-
ing.

ridgebacks bring
in two new goalies
OSHAWA -- A pair of goaltenders
with OHL experience will be manning
the crease for the UOIT Ridgebacks
next season.
Head coach Marlin Muylaert has
announced commitments to the pro-
gram from Burlington native Bryce
O’Hagan and Woodstock’s Jesse Ray-
mond for the 2012-13 season.
O’Hagan spent the last four sea-
sons in the OHL playing for the Sault
Ste. Marie Greyhounds and the Peter-
borough Petes. He appeared in 73
games with the Greyhounds in four sea-
sons, before being traded to Peterbor-
ough where he appeared in 35 games
during the 2010-11 season with the
Petes.
“Knowing that we were losing
Jason Guy, we were actively seeking a
goaltender with significant OHL expe-
rience who we thought could come in
and seize the No. 1 position immedi-
ately,” said Muylaert. “Bryce is that guy.”
Raymond will also join the Ridge-
backs for the 2012-13 season. Last
season Raymond went 21-7-1-0 for the
Stratford Cullitons of the GOJHL, while
in 2008-09 as a member of the St. Mary
Lincolns, Raymond was a member of
the all-rookie team and won GOJHL
goaltender of the year honours.
He also has a nine-game stint with
the OHL’s Sarnia Sting under his belt.
Training camp will open up for the
Ridgebacks in early September.

MarksManship
Cadets hit their mark at national championships
VALCARTIER, QUE. -- Five local
residents from 856-Pickering
Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squad-
ron participated in six days of
fierce competition in Valcarti-
er, Quebec, at the 2012 national
cadet marksmanship champi-
onship and earned themselves a
few medals.
These cadets had an impressive
performance competing among
125 elite athletes from across the
country, having already beaten
out over 1,122 other teams from
across Canada for the opportuni-
ty to compete at this level.
“Marksmanship is a sport that
will teach you self-control and
attention to detail, and it will
take you all across the country,”
offered Flight Sergeant Phillip
Armenis of Pickering. “My goal
for this particular competition
was to shoot at least one perfect
100 target.”
And considering that the
10-point scoring mark is only one
millimetre in diameter for prone
targets and half that for stand-
ing, it is truly a lofty goal to con-
sistently put a hole in that tiny
mark from 10 metres away each
and every time. But sure enough,
Cadet Armenis did and achieved
his personal goal during this
competition.
Marksmanship is one of the
most popular cadet training activ-
ities. It is an integral part of the
Canadian cadet program, teach-
ing self-discipline, building con-
fidence and allowing cadets the
opportunity to compete equally
in a recreational sport that is gen-
der neutral. The program is pat-
terned on Olympic-style com-
petitive shooting and boasts sev-
eral Canadian Olympians who
got their start through the cadet
program, including Pat Vamplew
and Mike Ashcroft.

VALCARTIER, QUE. -- Members of the 856-Pickering Royal Canadian
Air Cadet Squadron competed at the 2012 national cadet marks-
manship championships. They include Phillip Armenis, Caroline
D’Souza, Christian Bernardino, Thijs MacInnis and Kamran Lalla.

Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens located on Church Street
just south of Taunton Road in Ajax invites all residents of

on Sunday, June 3, 2012 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. “We
encourage our property owners and area residents to join us
on June 3,” said Gary Gentles, manager at Pine Ridge. A non-
denominational Service of Remembrance - also open to ev-
eryone - will be held at 1:30 p.m.
In addition, the cemetery is providing “Balloons to Heaven”
where people can write the name of their loved one on a bal-
loon and let it fly. This is often of particular interest to fami-
lies with kids. “It’s our goal to encourage the community to
visit their local cemeteries - not something they would nor-
mally think of doing,” continues Gentles.
“For those who are already familiar with us, we want to of-
fer a unique way for families to remember their loved ones.
Complimentary flowers will be available for families to plant
in selected areas of the cemetery to honour the memory of
loved ones buried in the cemetery. Refreshments and live mu-
sic add to the occasion.
Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens has been serving the com-
munities of Pickering, Ajax and Whitby since 1989. It is lo-
cated at 541 Taunton Rd. West (at Church St.) in Ajax. For

Dolphins shave it off for charity
DURHAM -- The Ajax-Pickering
Dolphins Football Club had a trio
of players, Jonathan Wieder, Cam-
eron Farrell and Harrison Leacock,
team up for cancer.
They worked together to raise
money for cancer, shaving their
heads for the cause. Together they
raised $3,637 for the Canadian
Cancer Society.
Leacock has participated for the
last three years. Wieder, a member
of the Dolphins since 2010, partic-
ipated in this year’s campaign in
memory of his grandmother who
died of colon cancer six years ago.
He jumped at the opportunity to
raise money for this cause because,
“We need to find a cure so no one
else losses a loved one,” he said.
Cops for Cancer has been an
event at the Yorkdale Mall for
the last 16 years, and more than
$600,000 has been raised for the
Canadian Cancer Society.
The Dolphins houseleague pro-
gram begins the week of May 21
and runs until early July. For more
information or to register, visit the
club’s website www.dolphinsfoot-
ball.ca, call the club’s hotline at
905-999-7657, or e-mail the club
registrar at registration@dolphins-
football.ca
The Dolphins have existed in
Durham since 1973, offering foot-
ball and cheerleading opportuni-
ties to youth and young adults in
the community. The club is cur-
rently preparing to celebrate its
40th anniversary season and the
celebrations will continue into
2013.
