The Premier discussed the announcement Thursday along- side Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson and Pickering-Scarbor- ough East MPP Tracy MacCharles. “I’m calling this the peo- ple’s highway,” the Premier said in an exclusive interview with the Pickering News Advertiser. “Although it’s a toll highway, it’ll be owned by the people of Ontario. The people of Ontario, through their government, will set the toll rates and the people of Ontario will be the ben- eficiaries of the revenue generated.” See PREMIER page 3 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 5 , 2 0 1 2 2 AP 1298KingstonRd.#6 Pickering,On L1V1B7905.839.3988 Mon.-Thurs.Sun. 11:00a.m.-10:30 p.m. Fri-Sat/Holiday 11:00a.m.-11:00 p.m. GRAND OPENING OVER 150 ITEMS SUSHI &ASIANCUISINE ALL YO U CAN EAT LU NCHEXPRESS CO MBO’S FROM $6.98 www.edamamesushi.ca Finch Ave. Wh i t e s R d .

The $1-billion construction cost will come from private investors, and be paid back by the Province over time. Premier McGuinty noted the procurement model ensures taxpayers will not be on the hook if the project goes over budget. Cintra Infraestructuras, majority owner of the existing 407, and Montreal-based SNC-Lavalin will design, fund, construct and maintain the 22-kilometre extension, which will take the highway from Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa. A 10-kilometre, north-south toll highway to connect the 407 extension to Hwy. 401 will also be built east of Lakeridge Road in Whitby. Planning will begin this fall, with con- struction becoming visible to residents next spring. The project is set to be com- pleted by the end of 2015. Originally, the Province planned to extend the 407 to Hwy. 35/115 in Claring- ton. After realizing it didn’t have the funds to do so, it pledged to complete the con- nection in two phases. The second phase, to be completed by 2020, will take the 407 from Harmony Road to Hwy. 35/115. Premier McGuinty said the Province will help Durham and its municipali- ties upgrade infrastructure as necessary to accommodate the expansion. North Oshawa and Clarington can expect heavier volumes of traffic as drivers exit the 407 at Harmony Road and make their way along municipal and regional roads to Hwy. 35/115. “We feel a sense of responsibility in this regard,” said the Premier. “What we have done so far, I believe, is committed $83 million to help local communities accom- modate this new road, and we’ll continue to speak to them to find out what, if more, that we need to do.” The project is expected to create 900 direct construction jobs and 8,000 to 9,000 spin-off jobs. The Premier said he expects many of those jobs will go to Durham Region residents and businesses. “There’s no doubt about it that the host communities, so to speak, will be a direct economic beneficiary of the investment that is made here,” he said. He noted Ontario is facing tough eco- nomic times. “I would argue that now it’s more impor- tant than ever that we do this, because not only does it stimulate the economy and create jobs, promote economic activity in this Region, but it also helps inspire con- fidence in our future,” he said. “It’s a com- mitment to our future.” Reporter Tara Hatherly can be found on Twitter @Tara_ Hatherly and on Facebook by searching Tara Hatherly.

While coming down the steps of Pickering’s pedestrian bridge on May 22, Pickering resident Steve Ladurantaye noticed something out of the corner of his eye. Startled, he stopped to get a clos- er look and got quite a shock as a snake slowly unfurled and began slithering down the steps. “It started to uncurl and just got longer, and lon- ger and longer and by the time it unravelled it was four or five feet long,” Mr. Ladurantaye recalled, noting he does not like snakes. “I wanted to take a photo to show my friends, and then I thought a video would be better. So I shot the video and promptly ran away.” Mr. Ladurantaye briefly discussed the snake encounter with another commuter who came down the stairwell after him, but said he didn’t talk to anyone else at the time. “We agreed it was dis- gusting and then I car- ried on my way,” Mr. Ladurantaye recalls, laughing. “People asked if I told anyone or reported it and I didn’t do any of those things. I was not noble enough to follow it through to any sort of conclusion, I just did the cowardly thing and ran away.” He did, howev- er, upload photos and video to social media sites including Twitter and Youtube, where a video of his encounter has gar- nered more than 750 views. “It kind of exploded on Twitter so it seems to have struck a chord with people,” he said, noting most seemed to share his dislike of the reptiles. GO spokeswoman Vanessa Thomas confirmed that someone did indeed make GO aware of the snake, although a thorough search by Pickering Animal Services and GO Transit staff turned up nothing. “We believe that this is a rare and unusual cir- cumstance,” she explained, noting that while the type of snake has not been confirmed, it appears to be an eastern milk snake. The non-venomous species is common in south- ern Ontario and cannot be hunted or trapped because it is a specially protected species. “Our goal is to work within the laws that may pro- tect this snake and work with the respective ani- mal and police officials on this matter,” Ms. Thomas continued. “Safety is our No. 1 priority.“ wilDlife Snake near a train in Pickering we believe that this is a rare and unusual circumstance. Vanessa Thomas, GO Transit subMitteD phOtO PICKERING -- A snake, believed to be an eastern milk snake, was found by a commuter near the Pickering GO station. GO staff was made aware of the serpent incursion, but a subsequent search for the non-venomous reptile wasn’t successful.

Justice Time to bring back capital punishment To the editor: After reading the outcome of the Michael Rafferty murder case, and reading the Michael ‘Biggie’ McDonald trial here in Durham Region, I feel it is high time the government of Canada reinstated capital punishment. I do not understand why they have ‘mur- der in the first degree’, ‘murder in the sec- ond degree’ ‘manslaughter charges. The victim is just as dead in any case. Murder in the second degree and man- slaughter gives the killer a lesser sentence. Does the victim get a lesser sentence? Can the victim come back and go on with his/ her life? Of course not. They were given a death sentence by the murderer. There is nothing in the laws to deter these killers. They know that if they murder someone and are caught, they are not going to lose their life. They will appear in court, often represented by Legal Aid and paid for by the taxpayers. Along with this, government is spend- ing millions of our tax dollars to build more prisons to keep these people where they will be fed, clothed, have an exercise yard, etc. Governments are reducing the money used in our hospitals, asking doc- tors to take a cut in wages and increasing the age to 67 before the seniors will be able to apply for Old Age Security. Does any of this make sense? If they re- instate capital punishment, they can save millions of taxpayer’s dollars, and put these dollars to better use for the people they collect them from. What do we have to do to get this implemented? Earl Brown Oshawa Murder trial Bystanders could have made a difference To the editor: Re: ‘Raw Images’, news story by Jeff Mitch- ell from Michael ‘Biggie’ McDonald murder trial, durhamregion.com, May 18, 2012. The judge was astonished that a child would shoot video while the child says it’s the thing to do when a fight breaks out. Instead of these students taking videos of the fight, why didn’t they try to break it up or get help before it escalated to the level that caused a death? Is the idea to be the first to get a video online more important? They knew the history of these two people. The students who took the videos as well as the onlook- ers were not innocent bystanders. They could have made a difference in the out- come of this fight. Phil Hulaj Oshawa Business Honesty wins customer’s loyalty To the editor: There are so many stories in the media about seniors, especially women, being taken advantage of by auto repair shops. I had an opposite experience at Speedy Muffler King. I had a high-pitched noise that sounded like a malfunctioning belt. One auto service business couldn’t find the source of the noise and advised that I go to Speedy Muffler as they thought it was the catalytic converter. Speedy spent a good deal of time trying to locate the noise but said it was not the catalytic converter. They could have easily replaced any part they chose and I wouldn’t have been any the wiser. It turned out to be a missing bolt which they replaced at no charge. They deserve credit for their honesty and they have certainly earned my business and I will spread the news to everyone I know. Gail Portener Whitby Bev Oda Wake up, voters To the editor: Re: MP Bev Oda repays travel costs. Why are we so surprised about MP Bev Oda’s behaviour? She has done this before (run amok with our money) yet was re- elected in the last election, so really if any- one should take the blame, it’s the people who elected her. With Harper’s new crime legislation, an ordinary citizen would be in jail for fraud. Wake up voters. Throw her out next time or you will get what you asked for.

All content copyright We think... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions Hwy. 407 extension burden eased for Durham municipalities It may not be the best, but it’s the best Durham is going to get for now. Premier Dalton McGuinty’s billion-dollar announcement yesterday of the Hwy. 407 extension from Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa still falls short -- some 30 kilometres short -- but comes, finally, with a promise of financial relief for Durham municipalities. Along with the formal announcement of the extension, expected to top $1 billion, Premier McGuinty also pledged to provide $83 million to the municipalities affected by the project. That’s a huge relief for the City of Oshawa, for example, which potentially faced mil- lions of dollars in unexpected and unbud- geted road upgrades and maintenance costs when the Province announced in 2011 that the new terminus for the extension would be at Harmony Road. It should also provide a good measure of relief for the Municipality of Clarington, which also would have faced financial pres- sure to improve roads for motorists, partic- ularly those who use Hwy. 115/35 and who will have to drive west for several kilome- tres along local roads to pick up the extend- ed Hwy. 407 in Oshawa. Whitby, too, would have faced some additional costs related to the 10-kilometre north-south road linking the extended Hwy. 407 to Hwy. 401, which was also confirmed by the Premier yester- day. In that context, credit must be given to the Province for finally recognizing the bur- den its decision to reduce the length of the new toll highway extension would have on some of Durham’s municipal govern- ments. Regrettable, however, is the fact that the Province took so long to make any clear indication that relief would be provided to municipalities; the news comes nearly a year after Premier McGuinty’s government announced that its original promise to build the toll highway out to Hwy. 115/35 was being broken, and that the highway exten- sion would instead end in Oshawa. Now it falls to affected municipal gov- ernments to maintain the pressure on the Province and ensure that every additional dollar required as a consequence of neces- sary road upgrades is provided. To that end, we encourage ongoing political dialogue, detailed staff work to provide accurate cost projections and regular updates with both provincial officials and local taxpayers to put those relief dollars where they are need- ed most. Overall, however, yesterday’s news was good news for Durham Region and its member municipalities. It may not be the best, but it’s the best Durham is going to get.

Presented by Downtown Intensification Study receives public input Moya DIllon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A convention centre, the- atre and hotel could all be in the works for downtown Pickering as residents offered up suggestions on the city’s downtown intensification study. Residents were invited to a meeting on May 10 to review ongoing planning for the future of Pickering’s downtown. Some key components of the plan include enhancement of Esplanade Park and the construction of new projects such as a convention centre, hotel, arts centre and another pedestrian bridge crossing Hwy. 401 at Valley Farm Road. “We’re looking at if there’s an opportu- nity to put a road in the hydro corridor with maybe another pedestrian bridge,” said Catherine Rose, manager, policy for Pickering, noting that with OPG’s Pickering plant headed for decommis- sioning, there could be an opportunity to revamp the existing hydro corridor. She noted the process is about bringing ideas forward and planning for possibil- ities, but it doesn’t mean the downtown will be undergoing a big change anytime soon. “It will be incremental,” she said of the plan, which looks forward to the next 20 years and beyond. “You have to know the key elements you’re striving for so when those oppor- tunities materialize you know where to put everything. The downtown is con- stantly changing, we have to be ready to move when the pieces come together.” Residents were split on the plan and the amount of intensification it entailed. “It’s too much,” said Ron Baird, a Pickering resident for more than 30 years. “I know the Province has their density targets and you can’t get away from it but it’s going to be just like Toronto, I moved here to get away from Toronto.” Resident Bonnie Fowler noted the downtown needs “big time” work. “There are some ideas I like and some I don’t,” she said, noting she’d like to see more retail rather than residential around the planned arts centre. “The downtown does need change, and I know they want residential for people to live in but you still need a nucleus where people want to go and spend time. You can’t build residential at the centre and put the downtown around it.” Her suggestions included adding greenspace and installing a water feature that could also be used as an ice rink in the winter. The next step of the plan will be to create a draft vision for the downtown, which will be on display at a public meeting in September. Along with the draft vision statement, an official plan amendment, new urban design guidelines and a zoning strate- gy to accommodate the plans will come before council before the end of the year for approval. faSt factS Pickering Downtown Intensification Study The study began in March with a meeting between City representatives, consultants, stakeholders and key landowners, as well as an invitation to the public to share what they did and did not like about the downtown. Public input identified some key amenities in the downtown, such as Esplanade Park, as well as common concerns, including the lack of sidewalks and cycling routes. Planning continued on May 10 with a stake- holders meeting followed by a public meeting, where residents got a chance to hear about suggested changes and view a foam model of the plans. Suggestions from the public were collected during the meeting and will be incorporated into planning. Planning will continue with a public meeting on Sept. 13 where residents will be able to view the draft vision statement for the downtown. The downtown intensification study is required as part of the Province’s Places to Grow Act, which identified downtown Pickering as an urban growth centre.

There are several benefits to having new windows and doors in your home. First, they improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but you may find that you’re not getting the highest quality windows and the installation is trickier than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member to come out and fix the installation.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 34 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short- term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa.

Get The Best With Durham Windows and Doors KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Community. That’s what past students remember about attending Gandatsetiagon Public School. The school, on Parkside Drive in Pickering, celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday, giving former students and staff a chance to catch up and reminisce. Val McCullough had been at Gandy, as the school is often called, for 15 years before leav- ing in 2007 to go to Bobby Orr Public School in Oshawa. She taught Grades 3, 4 and 5 at Gandy. She remembers the “sense of community, which is wonderful,” Ms. McCullough said. Fiona Shaw (nee McFarland) has been at the school since 1991. “I’m the last of the old crew. It’s been a long time.” She’s the teacher-librarian, so she has stu- dents from JK up to Grade 8. “It’s a good school. There’s great parent support and an excellent staff,” Ms. Shaw said. “I’m very lucky to find a good school and community. There are not a lot of good reasons to leave.” She noted the staff seems to turn over every five years, “so why not stay where it’s gold?” Lindsay Cassells graduated from the school in 2007 and gave a “shout out” to Ms. Shaw. “We had a running joke. She was born in a leap year and we said we were older than her,” Ms. Cassells said. Ms. Shaw remembered the students kid- ding her about her age. Unless it was a leap year, “I’d tell them I didn’t have (a birthday) this year. When I did, it was really big for them.” Ms. Cassells remembers Gandy as “a really good school. I went my whole life.” Two of her best friends are Lynsey Cotter and Zoe Allen, who also graduated in 2007. “It’s a really good school. All of us live in the area. We did Girl Guides together. A lot of people found really good friends here,” she added. Gene Schaaf was the first principal at Gandy. “I was very fortunate because Al Jones and I were sharing two staff at Woodlands (Public School). He assumed a lot of the responsibil- ity at Woodlands. That gave me the time to come here and plan,” Mr. Schaaf said. Woodlands was right next to Dunbarton High School, but has since closed. In the first year, grades 3 to 8 moved into the school on Feb. 4, 1986. “There was sufficient room in the school to accommodate those pupils. In June, they broke ground on a six-room addition. Kin- dergarten to Grade 2 moved in in the fall. The school was all finished in December. That’s why the official opening was held the follow- ing March,” Mr. Schaaf said. There was some controversy when the name was chosen for the school. “My trustee was Lorna Murphy. She was also chair of the board. She came to me and I had to chose between three names.” Two of the names included ‘Dunbarton’, and Mr. Schaaf pointed to the history of Indi- an settlements in the area going back 1,000 years. “I knew what she wanted. There were 5,000 to 6,000 Indians in this area and that what it was really honouring,” Mr. Schaaf said. Miranda Behm has been a teacher at the school for the past five years, although she’s on maternity leave this year. “I love it. It’s a really nice community. The staff are very warm and welcoming. I really enjoy teaching here,” said Ms. Behm, a Grade 3 teacher. Janice Bell was a 1991 graduate and attend- ed the school from the time it opened. “I was at Woodlands when they opened the school and I came here. I was in Grade 4,” she said. “I remember it being shiny and new and big, compared to the school we came from.” Ms. Bell was at the reunion with Julie Chart- ier (nee Geuzebroek), and the two went to school together starting in kindergarten. “It was lots of fun, good friends, awesome teachers,” Ms. Chartier said. Barb Greco (nee Gray) met her future hus- band David at Gandy when they were in Grade 7. As Ms. Bell said, “At Gandy, they found their love.” The Grecos have been married 11 years and have two daughters, Maddy, 5, and Julia, 3 on May 16. Ms. Greco said she remembers her “friends, life-long friends. Great teachers.” Her favourite, along with Ms. Chartier, was Ms. Muir. “She cared about the kids. She had the biggest heart and loved us,” Ms. Greco said.

Councillors voted unanimously to endorse a regional bylaw that would switch the regional chairman position to direct election, rather than appoint- ment by council, during a regu- lar council meeting on May 22. At least one citizen was not in favour. “I’ve been reading up on the issue and it’s just not obvi- ous to me that there would be any benefits in terms of good government,” resident Glenn Brown told council, noting that an elected chairman wouldn’t necessar- ily represent the region any better than an appointed one. “I don’t see the benefits, but it would cre- ate a new ring to watch in the political cir- cus,” he continued. Councillor Doug Dickerson also had con- cerns with direct election, noting it would take deep pockets to campaign across an area as geographically vast as Durham. “Candidates are going to need to put quite a team together and I have a fear that’s going to create party politics at the municipal level, which would be a traves- ty but where else is someone going to find that team?” he said. He noted he had “serious misgivings” about direct election but intended to sup- port it because of the results of a referen- dum question on the issue that was placed on the 2010 municipal election ballot. The question, which asked voters if they were in favour of switching to a direct election for the regional chairman position, received 80 per cent support across the region, and 83 per cent in Pickering. Other councillors also point- ed to the referendum question when explaining their support, while others simply called direct election more democratic. “I think this is long overdue for the region as we come to our 40-year celebration,” said Coun. Kevin Ashe, noting it wasn’t about the performance of current chair- man Roger Anderson. “This is about us moving forward and growing as a democ- racy.” The regional bylaw, which was passed by regional council on April 4, would change the method of selecting the chairman from appointment by council to direct election by the public. The bylaw needs a “triple majority” to pass. In addition to support from regional council, five out of eight lower-tier munici- pal councils must pass a resolution in sup- port and the total number of electors in the lower-tier municipalities that pass the res- olution must also form a majority of all the electors in the region. -with files from Jillian Follert Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it to provide nutrient recycling. 2. Aerate compacted soil in the fall to help oxygen, water and nutrientsreach roots. 3. Over-seed patchy areas in difficult spots. 4. In heavy traffic areas replace grass with mulch or paving stones. 5. Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused by small animals digging for insects. 6. Set your mower so that your grass is 7 to 8 cm high to encourage deeper roots and help fend off weeds. 7. Water infrequently, but when you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the soil (about 1.5 centimetres) to promote deep roots. Over-watering starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. Apply at least 2.5 centimetres of wa-ter. Put a container on your lawn to measure how much you've watered. An empty tuna can is about the right height. 8. Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to prevent problems. 9. If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure the one you pick lists the pest you are trying to control on the label, and follow all the instruc-tions on the label to use it safely.

There are 10 basic steps to the instal-lation of interlocking paving stones. The first step is to draw a diagram showing measurements, grade elevations and pro-posed planters, steps, walls and paving stone areas. A member of the Arnts sales staff will help you calculate the amount and cost of the materials for your project. The next step is to prepare the area by marking the digging location. Excavate the required depth depending on the ap-plication. Fill the area with a well-drain-ing base material, usually a combination of gravel and sand. Compact the gravel with a place compactor in 2” deep inter- vals. Spread a 1” layer of coarse sand on the compacted base and level. Lay the paving stones on the coarse sand, stag-gering the joints for stability. Mark and cut any pavers that do not fit along the edges and around objects. Install brick edge restraints along the perimeter of the paving stones to prevent the pavers from shifting. Sweep the surface of the paving stones and compact with a gas plate compactor to settle the pavers into the layer of coarse sand. Finish the proj-ect by sweeping fine sand into the joints of the pavers. Visit Arnts Topsoil in Whitby at 4400 Halls Rd.

The artist and designer, an Ajax resident before the town became a town, designed the wall at Veterans’ Point Gardens at the Ajax lakefront, including the copper plates showing the branches of military service. And if you’ve read Vimy, author Pierre Ber- ton personally asked White to illustrate it. But perhaps his greatest pieces have been reserved for family members and friends, special-occasion works that not only show his great talent but also his imagination. Ajacians are invited to see these and other works in White’s first-ever art show at Ajax Town Hall from May 24 to June 28. He estimates he’s done 25 such works for friends and family, marking anniversaries and other milestones. Each takes roughly 200 hours and capture’s a person’s inter- ests and passions in a detailed, whimsical scene. “I weave all of this together,” White says. “It is the story of their life.” The piece he did for former Holy Trin- ity Anglican Church choir director David Kerry, who loved Wagner, shows Kerry atop a castle in front of a massive pipe organ. A storm is raging, complete with heavy rain and lightning, and Heather Kerry, his wife, a former ballet dancer, is shown beneath the grey, stormcloud-filled sky. Ever the perfectionist, White says he plans each piece out before beginning the design. Other work in the show includes the original drawings for the Veterans’ Point Gardens plates and watercolours showing his grandchildren, fishing with grandpa, in one piece. White says at age nine or 10 in Chelten- ham, England he liked to draw tombstones. A bout of rheumatic fever confined him to bed for nine months, but he kept drawing. Unbeknownst to him, a teacher submit- ted his work for The Royal College of Art entrance exam and he was awarded the Royal Scholarship. His teachers at the Lon- don school included the renowned sculp- tor Henry Moore. In 1954, he was “offered the opportunity of a lifetime to immigrate to Canada,” and he came with his wife, Rosemary, and two- year-old daughter, Suzzanne. He joined Cushing and Nevell Technical and Com- mercial Illustrations Ltd., whose clients included Ontario Hydro, Stelco, North- ern Electric, General Motors and the U.S. Army. The company became well known for its design work, instructional manuals and specialized artwork, and White and his writing partner, Norman Conklin, bought the company in 1965. White and his family were one of the founding families of Holy Trinity Anglican Church. He and other men at the church founded the Ajax Cricket Club, and White was chairman and chief executive officer of the club for almost 50 years. Ajax Councillor Pat Brown, who has known White for decades, says he has made a big contribution to the town. “In the original formation of the town, he’s a legend because he approached everything with humour and contributed so much,” she says. Mr. White notes that in the early years of Ajax, there wasn’t a lot going on so people would make their own fun, hosting and attending wonderful parties. His other interests include skiing, fishing and hiking with his family. “I don’t think anybody could have enjoyed their life as much as I have,” he says.

Free and run by artists, the event has north Durham glass artist Lis Simpson as chairwoman. “This juried tour is a showcase for the superlative, the unique and the unusual,” states the tour website. “Wondrous concoc- tions appear on canvas and paper, threads and fibres are combined into tactile trea- sures, clay and metals from the earth are shaped and twisted into the unexpected, photos and rare images capture a moment in time, unique jewelry becomes wearable art, stones and beads pair up for artistic designs and fascinating glass sculptures refract the sunlight.” The event features some of the most tal- ented artists in Durham, including Albert Slark of Ajax, Dorsey James and Martha Brown of Pickering and Hanneke Koonstra of Uxbridge. At most of the stops, guest artists are also showing work. See the complete list of artists and guests and find out where they’ll be at www.wil- datheartstudiotour.com.

Because Charlene Ouellette wants it all, thank you very much. The Pickering artist at the moment is a sleep-deprived, stay-at-home mother of a baby boy. But she talks about hiring a sitter and getting into the studio as often as possi- ble to continue creating the abstract canvas- es that currently occupy her creative vision. The former fashion model yearns to get behind the camera at fashion shoots and to teach art to chronically ill children and the elderly. A long and tall list, but she feels she is up to all tasks. Ouellette was born in Toronto and stud- ied at Wexford Collegiate, where she was considered the school’s most talented artist. She then moved on to a professional career, showing at the Kohl Gallery and organizing shows with a group she helped establish in Toronto called Artists in Connection. One of her main inspirations has been her grand- maman, professional artist Danielle Lan- glois, of Arthur, Ont., with whom Charlene gets together once a year to paint and party. In 2002, Ouellette moved to Pickering and has involved herself here as a member of the PineRidge and Durham West art groups and showed paintings at the local Artfest last summer, where she managed to sell seven of her pieces. She started out as a realist painter but has moved to the abstract, in oils and acrylics -- often with semi-realistic imagery integrated into her surface designs. Most of Ouellette’s ideas come from her imagination, rather than any kind of reference, and she permits herself to follow any tangents of expression that spontaneously percolate and surface. Charlene currently has work on display at Cafe Creme Brulee at the bottom of Liv- erpool Road and will hang some work at Pickering City Hall when she assembles suf- ficient new work for the venue.

The Major Series Lacrosse club held its last practice on Wednesday night in prepara- tion for the season opener on Tuesday against the Kitchener- Waterloo Kodiaks. The Rock had a lengthy training camp that was well received with as many as 27 players attending the workouts. “I’m pretty confident that we are ready to go,” says D’Orazio, who is in his first season as GM/ head coach of the senior club. “The team is shaping up nicely. We’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of guys out to prac- tice. “There’s a really good spir- it going around the room right now. A really good camaraderie. If we can bring that into a game, I think we’ll fare fairly well for ourselves.” The Rock are coming off a 3-17- 0 season, which followed a 3-13- 0 summer of 2010. This year the regular season will include 14 games, with Ajax, Peterborough and Brooklin in an East division, and Brampton, Six Nations and Kitchener-Waterloo in a West division. Teams will play four games against the other teams in their own division, consisting of a double home-and-home, as well as a two-game home-and- home with teams in the other division. The idea behind the realign- ment is to cut down on travel and increase rivalries based on geographics. While players away at univer- sity continue to filter in, one of the players the Rock will have to do without this season is first overall draft pick Shayne Jackson out of the Whitby War- riors Jr. A program, who will be playing senior in Langley, BC, this season after the two teams negotiated a release. “I think it will be a good thing for (Shayne),” says D’Orazio. “It will give him a year to mature as a player, play a the major level, and come back to us better than he already was.” The team’s second pick, third overall, Craig England, who played Jr. A last season in Oran- geville, attended some tryouts, but D’Orazio declined to com- ment on his status with the lacrosse club. The other first- round pick for the Rock, Kyle Davis, sixth overall from Bramp- ton Jr. A, has been signed. “He brings a lot to the table,” said D’Orazio of Davis, who had 23-56-79 point totals last season. “He comes with a leadership background. A guy like that can help lift the spirit of the team at any time.” Looking ahead to the season, D’Orazio says that the No. 1 pri- ority will be to score more goals as the Rock had just 147 in 20 games last season, the fewest in the league. “I’m pretty content with the team for the time being. I’d like the guys that are there right now to step up and score more goals. That’s going to be our No. 1 thing, putting the ball in the back of the net.” Following Tuesday’s game in Kitchener-Waterloo, the Rock head to Peterborough Thursday. The home opener is Friday, June 8 against Peterborough. ron PieTroniro / MeTroLand Flying high OSHAWA -- Xavier King, from Pickering High School, soared above the water pit during the boys’ 2000m steeplechase event at the LOSSA track-and-field championships at the Oshawa Civic. He finished first in the steeplechase event as well as the 1500m and 3000m events. Lacrosse Ironheads win second in a row MISSISSAUGA -- After three loss- es in a row, the Ajax Ironheads have responded in a positive fashion with a pair of victories, including a 15-13 victory in Mis- sissauga on Wednesday night. The game was close through- out, with the only difference com- ing in the first period as the Iron- heads took a 5-3 lead after the opening 20 minutes. The follow- ing two periods were played to a stalemate, with each team scor- ing five goals in both the second and third. Adam Kelusky had the hot stick for the Ironheads, scoring twice and adding five assists, while the team’s leading scorer, George Jimas, had a five point night on four goals and an assist. Jimas has 29 points in nine games to lead the Ironheads, with Kelusky is just a point back with 28 in six games. James Malloy potted a hat trick, Josh Kennedy and Shane Taka- hashi had two goals each, with one apiece to Steve Douitsis and Dakota Watson. The win improved the Iron- heads to 4-5-0, as they prepare for a weekend home-and-home with Newmarket (7-2-0), starting on the road Friday, and hosting Sunday afternoon at 3. 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 5 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP Carrier of the We ek Ajax & Pickering Locations8 Salem Rd South Ajax, ON L1S 7T7 To day’s Carrier of the Week is Nicholas.

Falby School Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- If they weren’t already, staff and students at Bolton C. Falby School in Ajax are probably big time Toronto Argonauts fans now. And so they should be. On Wednesday veteran defen- sive end Ricky Foley, a trio of cheerleaders and other members of the organization took centre stage at the school, talking about the benefits of living a healthy life as part of the GoodLife Fitness Argo-cise program. After speaking to students inside the gymnasium, Foley led three different groups through some workout drills outside and then made a bold proclamation that when, not if, the Argonauts win the 100th Grey Cup this fall, a game the organization will host at the Rogers Centre, that the Cup will make its way to Ajax at some point in celebration. “We’ll bring the Cup back here,” he said to the group. Foley and the Argonauts will open up training camp next month, and the six-foot-three 247-pound Courtice native is champing at the bit to get going. And it sounds as though he will enter the season having practised what he preached to the students on Wednesday with regards to making proper health choices in life and being prepared for what lies ahead. “I took three months off and went out to Vancouver to re-eval- uate everything in my career,” said the former Grey Cup champion with the B.C Lions, who also had a cup of tea in the NFL with Bal- timore, Seattle and the New York Jets. “Watched all my film from B.C, Seattle, everywhere. I really took a step back and made a for- mula for diets and workouts. “I feel like this is the first year I have really done everything prop- erly. When you are at your best physically, you may not be at your best technically or your best diet- wise or workout-wise, but it’s all kind of come together this year,” Foley added. The Argonauts have a long his- tory of being involved in the com- munity through various plat- forms, and Foley looked more than comfortable at the head of the class, speaking and laugh- ing with the relatively attentive group. Of course being an Argo means that wasn’t Foley’s first rodeo, but he admitted afterwards it always means a little more when he can play his part so close to home. “When it’s in Durham, being from here, getting to come back and do this is what means the most to me,” he said. “We’re always getting a good message out no matter what we’re doing, the anti-bullying or doing the exercise program here, but it’s really special when I get to do it in Durham.” Ryan PFeiFFeR / MetRoland AJAX -- Ricky Foley of the Toronto Argonauts visited Bolton C. Falby Public School as part of the Argo-Cise program which promotes healthy living to youth. Foley was joined by a group of cheerlead- ers and the team mascot as they ran the kids through a series of outdoor exercises. DURHAM -- The West Durham Army 2004 hockey team recently swept away their competition for the second time this spring, once again going undefeated, during the May Madness hockey tournament. This follows their tournament vic- tory in the GTA’s Spring Showdown at the end of April. In their second year of operation, the Army, as they are known, have become a domi- nant force in the Ontario spring tournament circuit. Head coach and general manager Paul Bannister, a former member of the Canadian Forces, translates the drive, discipline and leadership skills he learned in the military into success for his players on the ice. With two back-to-back tournament wins, this approach seems to work. The team is competing against longer-established elite spring programs, and so far has not lost a game. Once the news leaked that the Army would be assembling for a second season, the interest in the program from Durham’s top hock- ey players was off the charts. “There were some difficult deci- sions to be made in selecting this year’s team,” shared Bannister. “There is a lot of young hockey tal- ent in the Durham area.” When asked about expanding the program to other age groups, Ban- nister hinted that next year may see a few more armies doing battle, “Hopefully with the same success as the 2004 team,” he added. This year’s 2004 West Durham army players are Colin Morin, Luke Komisar, Noah Button, Owen Steenson, Willow Poppleton, Jus- tin Diliso, Nicholas Colangelo, Ty Petrou, Ryan Johnstone, Camden Brown, James Johnson, Keagan James and Aiden Reilly, Jake Hodg- son and Rachel Bannister. The team is coached by Paul Bannister, George Petrou, George Komisar, Dave Johnstone and team trainer Richard Brown. The Army’s next tournament bat- tle will take place June 1-3.
