The students took part in the Earth Angels Eco Systems educational program. EA R T H A N G E L S Pickering students learn lessons in ecosystems by visiting various biodiversity sites > MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The sun was shining brightly as area students followed Earth Angels volunteers through the magic forest, magical meadow and even a wonderful wetland on a recent trip to Alex Robertson Park. The May 24 biodiversity field trip, organized by Environmental Earth Angels, aimed to show- case the various ecosystems within students’ own backyards and bring to life the science cur- riculum currently being studied by Grade 3 and 5 students of Ajax’s Lincoln Avenue and Pick- ering’s Elizabeth B. Phin Public Schools. “So many children are basically closed off in subur- ban communities, they don’t get the chance to come out and get emotionally attached to the environment,” said Wendy Lee, executive direc- tor of Environmental Earth Angels.

Speaking at the Weathering the Global Economic Storm economic development forum, Finance Min- ister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty said, “We are emerging from the economic recession, but it is a dangerous place, given the fra- gility of the economic recovery.” The forum was held Friday at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and hosted by Oshawa Mayor John Henry. About 100 peo- ple, many in the economic devel- opment field, attended. There’s been a “very fragile recov- ery” since the recession that bot- tomed out in 2008, he added. Canada, he said, is “in the best shape of our partners in the G7. Our fiscal fundamentals are sound.” Also speaking at the forum were General Motors of Canada presi- dent Kevin Williams and Derek Burleton, vice president and dep- uty chief economist with the TD Bank. “Our country, our region, are very well positioned. There’s growth, a high quality of life, a high standard of living. We have a brilliant future,” Mr. Flaherty said. Mr. Burleton said when it comes to the economic future, “Europe is really the big question mark. They’re still dealing with a very big crisis. “The U.S. will be in a long period of slow growth. The fiscal challeng- es they face, they don’t even have a plan for it,” he added. Consumers are “tipping their toes back in the water” when it comes to spending, he said. One of the bigger challenges is the “political fiscal cliff” the U.S. could be heading over, he said. The Bush tax cuts and a payroll tax cut are both set to expire at the end of this year. “That could shave three percent- age points off the U.S. economy next year. The manufacturing sec- tor would need to grow four per cent next year to offset that,” Mr. Burleton said. “Ontario has five years of aus- terity ahead of it,” he noted. “I see manufacturing sector growing, but it’s starting at such a low level.” A lot of businesses are “sitting on a lot of cash right now,” he said, adding they might start to invest it. Peter Stasiuk, a business instruc- tor with Durham College, said, “I’m expecting we will see that cash starting to flow. Business has no need to keep that cash, with a low return. It’s not profitable to keep that cash.” Mr. Burleton agreed, noting some companies have paid out dividends because of the low return. The U.S. is in a “half-speed recov- ery,” while Europe is in a reces- sion and Canada will see modest growth, Mr. Burleton said. Mr. Williams spoke about “the new GM,” which emerged from bankruptcy protection with the help of the federal governments in Canada and U.S. and the Ontario government. “I’ve never seen GM the way it is today,” said Mr. Williams, a 29-year veteran of the company. “Nobody is taking the foot off the accelera- tor. Our future does look brighter, brighter than it’s ever been.” “We put a lot of taxpayers’ money into GM and Chrysler,” Mr. Flaherty noted. “It worked. Thank goodness it did work. I might not be here if it didn’t.” The auto industry is a global one, Mr. Williams said, noting “more than 70 per cent of our sales are outside of the U.S.” Challenges facing the Canadian auto industry include the high dol- lar and high labour costs, he said. “We must work together to ensure Canada prospers going forward,” he added. BUSINESS Durham f orum hears prediction of modest growth for the economy RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Kevin Williams, president of General Motors Canada, spoke at an economic develop- ment forum at UOIT on May 25.

Officers responded to an address in the Brock Road and M a j o r Oaks Drive area for reports of at least one shot being fired, and found a spent shell casing in the drive- way. Act- ing on informa- tion someone inside might be armed, police obtained a search war- rant for the residence. No gun was found and no one was hurt. A man was arrested but later released unconditionally, and an investigation into the inci- dent continues, police said. crime Police swarm Pickering residence after shot fired news advertiser 905 683 5110 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP LET US FLOORYOU WITHTHESE PRICESANDMANY MORE INSTORE SPECIALS! 120 Hunt St. Ajax •Call 905-239-5706 AK FLOORING Let our professionals do your installations and get the job done right-Guaranteed! 50 oz Berber, Installed with Pad $2.99 sq/ft 3 1/4" x 3/4" Hardwood Flooring $4.99 sq/ft 50 oz Te xtured Saxony Stainmaster Carpet Installed $3.39 sq/ft and Installations Jan de Vries shared war experiences with students as part of Living History Speakers Bureau Moya DiLLon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The death of decorated war veteran and gifted speaker Jan de Vries is being mourned as a loss to the entire com- munity. The popular member of the Royal Canadi- an Legion Branch 258’s Living History Speak- ers Bureau was renowned throughout the community for his volunteer efforts, which included speaking to area students, and any- one else who wanted to listen, about his war- time experiences. Mr. de Vries died Sunday, May 27. “Jan would talk to the students about how he parachuted into France before the sea landings in 1944,” recalled Patrick Fellows, a friend and fellow member of the bureau. “He’s been very active and has done a lot of talking in the Pickering area. He was very hard-working, knowledgeable and invested in Canada and what he was doing here in the community.” Mr. Fellows was among several groups that submitted a recommendation for Mr. de Vries to the Order of Canada, and Mr. de Vries was appointed as a Member to the Order in 2007 in honour of his prolonged volunteer service. Pickering Mayor David Ryan first met Mr. de Vries during fundraising efforts for the Juno Beach Centre in 2000 and remembers him as outgoing and dedicated to his com- munity. Mayor Ryan later travelled to France with Mr. de Vries and several cadets to cele- brate the opening of the Juno Beach Centre, and in 2005, Mr. de Vries acted as honorary chair for Mayor Ryan’s first gala in Pickering. “He did a fantastic job,” Mayor Ryan said, recalling one event where organizers of the gala went to Oshawa to pose for some pro- motional shots with a military tank. While everyone was milling around trying to fig- ure out where to stand, Mr. de Vries climbed right on top of the tank, despite being in his mid- 70s. “I looked up and there he was on top of it, I couldn’t figure out how he got up there,” Mayor Ryan recalls, laughing at the memory. “That was just the kind of guy he was. He was very enthusiastic about everything he did. He spent a lot of time work- ing with young people in our schools and was a very outgoing and gentle soul. He was one of those people who had a presence, when he was there you knew he was there. He will very much be missed and I think he will be long remembered in our community.” Elsie Hetherman, president of the Pickering Veterans Association, calls Mr. de Vries an “integral” part of the team. “He always enjoyed talking to the kids and trying to raise awareness about the Second World War.” “He was a kind, sweet man and very thoughtful. He was also quite an ambassador throughout the world for Canada, dedicating his time to sharing his experiences of the war. We are very saddened by this loss.” In addition to his volunteer work speak- ing to students, cadets and veterans, Mr. de Vries was president of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, was instrumental in the building of the Juno Beach Centre, sup- ported the Tony Stacey Centre for Veter- ans Care and acted as a Pickering Olympic torchbearer in 2009. He has also been rec- ognized with numerous awards for his war- time service and volunteer efforts, including France’s Legion of Honour. Mr. de Vries’ wartime experiences are detailed in the book ‘Living History Chron- icles,’ which collects the war stories of the members of the Living History Speakers Bureau and in ‘Freedom 2,’ by Ms. Hether- man.

While I don’t drive, I found out that having a lack of ID is one part of the problem. Everyone may have an Ontario Photo Health Card, but it is not considered valid ID. Passports are another option, but carrying one isn’t feasible in many situations. Often when I attempt to obtain a service I need, I am refused because I don’t have any proof of ID to see who I am and where I live. It’s not only me who faces this issue. Many seniors and people with disabilities face this prob- lem. Finally, the Ontario government final- ly introduced a photo card for people who don’t want to or plan to drive. This photo card is purple and has the same ‘powers’ as a driver’s licence, although it doesn’t give you an ability to drive. That card costs $35 and is valid for five years. While critics may disagree, it’s a warm welcome to the non- driving population. When I first got the Ontario Photo Card last year, it was only available at a few Servi- ceOntario centres, such as the Oshawa Cen- tre. Recently, it has been expanded to many other locations with the remainder set for completion by the end of this year. While I was pleased with the government’s actions, it’ll be a matter of time until everyone knows what the Ontario Photo Card is all about. It’s like learning a whole new language. And while this photo card won’t allow me to cross the United States by land or water, I hope someday that an enhanced version of the card be offered. Until that happens, we’ll be using our passports to cross the border. Simon Tonekham Ajax Feedback We can be healthy in all different shapes and sizes To the editor: Re: ‘Don’t worry, government has the solution’, letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, May 21, 2012. There are a few things to clarify in the letter. Perhaps if kids’ preferences were involved more, sales might increase. Pizza doesn’t have to be terrible; it could be a great way to increase whole grains, vegeta- bles and lean meats. The Body Mass Index was created as a risk stratification tool and unfortunately is being used as a ‘goal weight’. A ‘normal’ BMI does not necessarily mean you are healthy. You could still have unhealthy behaviours such as poor quality food choices, smok- ing, lack of physical activity and exces- sive drinking. People labelled overweight or obese are not necessarily unhealthy if practising healthy lifestyle behaviours. BMI does not measure body fat percent- age. A ‘skinny’ person can have just as high a body fat percentage as an overweight or obese person. We can be healthy at all different sizes and shapes, as weight is not something we are supposed to control. When we focus too much on weight, especially with chil- dren and youth, the risks outweigh the benefits (i.e. bullying, disordered eating, eating disorders, lower body satisfaction, preoccupation with food, etc.). Telling a child “you cannot eat some- thing” is only a driving force for the child to want to eat it, and it doesn’t take the opportunity to teach them anything about healthy eating behaviours. Shaming peo- ple into losing weight is something we have been doing; it does not work and it may not even be necessary.

Kori Kostka Pickering Viewpoint My sympathy lies with victims of tobacco use To the editor: Re: ‘Durham must take a stand against contraband tobacco sales, distribution’, edi- torial, durhamregion.com, May 24, 2012. The editorial demonstrates that the pri- mary concern of convenience store owners is money. How can we make more money, more profit from a product that, “takes the lives of 45,000 Canadians every year”? I have no sympathy for convenience store owners or the provincial government for the revenues they lose. My sorrow lies with the 45,000 Canadians and their families.

The Ontario Philharmonic took coun- cillors to task over its decades-long policy of not providing grants to local charities and community groups. Fair questions were being asked, but the philharmonic’s assertion that “grants” are routinely given to local hospitals and Durham College is rather a comparison of apples and orang- es. Taxpayer funds dedicated to improving health care among Durham Region’s hos- pitals for its citizens, or to help improve the quality of education for students cannot and should not be compared with dona- tions to cultural groups such as the phil- harmonic, or arts groups that provide pro- grams, or other worthy non-profit organi- zations that no doubt do excellent work in neighbourhoods from Pickering to Clar- ington and up to Scugog and Uxbridge. Health care facility donations -- Lak- eridge Health is currently in the midst of a $2.6 million fundraising campaign for a new CT Scanner -- have a direct impact on the length and quality of life of Durham citizens young and old. An investment in health care is an investment in bettering lives. So too for Durham College, which was approved $800,000 in public funds for capital projects. Such use of taxpayer funds for post-sec- ondary education is another investment that directly impacts the lives of Durham residents. The sweet sounds and celebration of music offered by the philharmonic are a welcome addition to the cultural fabric of the region. But it is only one group in Durham among dozens, all of whom pro- vide an important service or serve a use- ful function. Durham officials made the right deci- sion in holding firm on their long-stand- ing practice not to provide charity grants. If they were to make an exception in this case, it would be difficult to say no to others -- who might offer a different but equally praised and welcome service to the community -- who would certainly follow. Competent and efficient health care and quality education are vital to Durham Region and its citizens. Taxpayer contri- butions to ensure their success and con- tinuous improvement cannot be confused with cultural amenities, even with the excellent musical traditions offered by the Ontario Philharmonic. There’s nothing quite like a back inju- ry to put everything into perspective for you. I’m currently dealing with a hip and lumbar issue that has me about as help- less as a 10-month-old child. I want to walk, I know I can, but the body just doesn’t want to put it all together. And like that same 10 month old, I spend most of my time in bed or tottering on two wob- bly legs, holding onto tables and chairs for support. And whining, of course. I do a good deal of whining. In fact, I have taken the art of whining to new heights. Like most men, I am a terribly impatient patient. And I should point out that it’s not really our fault. We’re just wired that way. Most of us in the male gender have a kind of built-in health clock that will allow our bodies approximately 24 hours to diag- nose, treat and cure whatever ails us. We will suffer through those first 24 hours admirably in the knowledge that it will all be over and done with shortly. Should the malady for some inexplicable reason extend beyond those allotted hours, how- ever, we very quickly become foul-tem- pered, petulant boobs. We lose all sense of reality, treat with enormous disdain all those who are trying to help us and firmly believe that we are but a tortured exhala- tion from death’s door. Sound familiar? A back injury, to those of you not fortu- nate enough to have experienced one, is a perfectly Machiavellian form of punish- ment for the male brain. The male brain wants to fix things. It wants to find the problem and eradi- cate it, cut it out or off, remove the failing organ or cauterize the tainted flesh. The male brain can handle enormous short- term pain if it can see an end in sight. Men have been known to amputate their own limbs without anesthesia in order to free themselves from fallen trees or machin- ery. What the male brain cannot deal with are the concepts of time and rest. Telling a man to give something a week or so to heal is like giving him a life sen- tence of agony. We simply don’t have the tools to see that far ahead. What we do see, in vivid contrast, is cataclysm, penu- ry, destitution. What is only a slight back strain to everyone else in the house is the tip of an ungodly, family-destroying ice- berg to those of us raving in bed. A week or so? Are you mad? How will I feed my children? Who will put gas in the car? I have e-mail to respond to! It should also be pointed out that coinci- dental to this sudden lack of vision comes an immediate and comprehensive case of amnesia. We may have suffered through and healed from similar afflictions many times in the past, but the minute we re- injure ourselves we are completely inca- pable of remembering any such thing. It’s pathetic, I know. But as I say, do not scorn us ... pity us. Men have many won- derful qualities and abilities. We are capa- ble of great things. But we lack the per- spective gene. It’s as though when cre- ating us, God gave us a choice: “You can either think rationally and patiently or you can dream about sex every seven sec- onds.” What would you choose? -- 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: Tattoo you...

It’s always good to look for different angles when shooting events. During this celebration I was able to gain access to a second floor balcony and shoot down on the action. This provides an alternative perspective of the action and also cleans up the background nicely for more emphasis on the subject. OPG focus is safety, efficiency WAYNE ROBBINS - GUEST COLUMNIST At Ontario Power Generation, the 7,000 employees in Durham are working hard to ensure our nuclear stations operate safely and keep electricity prices low for Ontarians. Recently, there was a business story on the economic performance of OPG Pickering Nuclear. I would like to provide some further context on the value of OPG’s nuclear stations in Durham. But first, I would like to empha- size safety remains OPG’s first priority. Last year, our safety performance was the best on record for our company. Pickering just cele- brated five million hours without a lost-time accident. Recently, Darlington received an excellent safety and performance evaluation from international peers who oversee and operate nuclear plants worldwide. In 2011, three of our four Darlington Nuclear units were in the top five CANDU reliability per- formers worldwide and one Pickering unit was also in the top 10. OPG is one of the lowest-priced electric- ity generators in Ontario. Our nuclear units contribute to this with an average price of 5.6 cents per kilowatt hour (2011). Most of our rates are set by the Ontario Energy Board. OPG is the only generator subject to this pro- cess. It would be difficult to find a more trans- parent generator. OPG is committed to this transparency and continued improvement. We have taken steps to improve efficiency and further reduce spending over the past three years. This has resulted in more than $70-million annual savings. The Pickering Nuclear station’s main economic challenge is the vintage of its technology, which is more costly to operate. This is why we made a deci- sion to end operations around 2020. Some of these units have been meeting the elec- tricity needs of Ontarians for 40 years. Today Pickering continues to provide about 15 per cent of Ontario’s electricity and Darlington another 20 per cent with almost no green- house gas emissions. In 2011 OPG began planning for a ‘Busi- ness Transformation’ to meet evolving needs in the electricity sector. We have committed to an additional $200 million in savings over the next three years. Durham can be proud of its contribution to energizing Ontario. -- Wayne Robbins is OPG’s chief nuclear officer 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 8 P DURHAM CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING #4 ACCOMMODATION REVIEW COMMITTEE (ARC) CITY OF PICKERING The Durham Catholic District School Board invites interested parents and community members to the following meeting: Thursday June 14, 2012 at 7:00 PM St Elizabeth Seton Catholic School 490 Strouds Lane, Pickering, Ontario, L1V1J6 At the fourth public meeting of the ARC the committee will present the DraftAccommodation Report which will address proposed closures, consolidations and boundary changes for thefollowinggroupofCatholicschools:HolyRedeemer,Our Lady of the Bay, St.Anthony Daniel, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Isaac Jogues, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, St. Monica, and St. Wi lfrid TheARC will also receive input from the public with respect to the schools under study at this meeting.

This gives them a chance to look at it hands on, it brings their curriculum to life and teaches them about the impacts they can have on the envi- ronment.” During a stop at the magical meadow, Grade 5 students from Lincoln Avenue were both delighted and disgusted to discover that the foamy white stuff they found on meadow plants was actually “bug spit.” “That’s the home of a bug called the spittle- bug,” explained Sarah Coombs, a UOIT stu- dent and Earth Angels volunteer who was leading the ecosystem tours. “The spittlebug makes its home by eating the plant and then spitting it back on it,” she said to a chorus of ‘oohs’ from the students. “So it’s basically bug spit.” The students learned about the animals and plants that call the various ecosystems home and how the different ecosystems interact and are affected by human activity. They also got to witness different animal habitats locat- ed throughout the ecosystems. “It was cool to see the different little homes animals have, made out of everything like grass, spit and fibre,” said Lauren Fraser, a Grade 5 student at Lincoln Avenue. “It was also cool to find out a bunch of things I didn’t even know were here, and I didn’t even know this would be called a meadow, I would have just called it grass.” Classmate Isabel Bingham was also excited to learn about the different ecosystems. “Before this I wouldn’t know that this was here or even existed,” she said. “It makes you look at nature with a new per- spective.” environment Pickering students tour area ecosystems PICKERING from page 1 Developer contests vote on downtown housing project moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Emery Homes is taking its plan for a Pickering development to the Ontario Municipal Board after council voted not to endorse the project. Patricia Foran, a lawyer with Aird and Ber- lis, spoke on behalf of Emery Homes at a council meeting on May 22, expressing the developer’s disappointment with an earli- er decision by councillors not to endorse a staff report recommending they approve the development application at a planning and development committee meeting on May 7. “My client filed their applications over 15 months ago and those were supported by expert study and analysis and reviewed by your staff, Regional staff and other agencies,” Ms. Foran said of the project proposed for the corner of Glenanna and Liverpool Roads, which would see a 62-unit townhouse devel- opment with 17 freehold units fronting Glen- dale Drive and 45 townhouse units in a com- mon element condominium. “Since the time of the application my clients have worked very hard with the City, Region- al staff and local residents to try to respond, to the extent they could, to concerns raised by citizens,” she continued, noting they had reduced the number of townhouses, reduced the height of the townhouses from three sto- reys to two and incorporated a three-metre road widening along the Glenanna Road frontage, among others. “This is exactly the type of development your Official Plan provides for, especial- ly given proximity to parks, transit, schools and shopping opportunities,” Ms. Foran explained. “This is fully consistent with your Official Plan and provincial planning guidelines. We recognize you don’t have a decision on this in front of you tonight and that puts us in a very difficult position. It is with great disap- pointment in not being able to reach a con- sensus with the City that my client is in the position of having to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board.” Councillors voted not to endorse the staff recommendation due to numerous concerns from residents, including traffic and parking. Because the recommendation was voted down at committee, there was no motion to bring forward to council for further consider- ation. The matter now goes to the OMB.

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 Tr eeAzin (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.Tr ees 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.

The 54 year old strides into the workout room at the Ajax Community Centre and starts adjusting the settings on a complicated weight machine. The only thing that sets him apart from the rest of the early risers? He can’t see what he’s doing. Mr. Angus is blind, with the exception of being able to see a little bit of light. He lost his sight about 15 years ago to retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that causes damage to the retina. The local man agreed to share his story and a glimpse of his daily life in honour of National Access Awareness Week from May 27 to June 2. The annual event aims to raise awareness of the needs of people with disabilities and encourage the elimi- nation of barriers -- both issues Mr. Angus is passionate about as a member of the Region of Durham’s Accessibility Adviso- ry Committee and peer mentor with the CNIB. “It can be difficult for me because it’s a sighted world, every- thing is visual,” he says gesturing around the gym, where the fitness machines all have diagrams and people’s eyes are glued to the flat screen TVs as they exercise. But that doesn’t stop him from working out on the weight machines then fitting in a little cardio on the cross-trainer, all by nimbly touching the equipment to find the right buttons and settings. Sometimes he struggles momentarily -- like when he can’t find the “enter” button on the cross-trainer, but he isn’t afraid to ask for assistance. “I would rather do that than fumble around; you can’t be afraid to ask for help,” he says. Unlike many people with serious vision impairments, Mr. Angus chooses not to use a service dog -- it’s just him and a white cane. As his sight began to deteriorate, he re-learned to navigate the world with a little trial and error and a lot of help from the CNIB. For example, they helped him create a raised, topical map of the gym so he could memorize where the equipment is located and how to walk between it. “It took about four or five years to really be confident doing things on my own, before that I relied a lot on my family to take me places,” says Mr. Angus, who is married and has an adult son and daughter as well as two granddaughters. “I said, ‘enough of that.’ I wanted to be independent again.” He makes use of technology like an audible wrist watch, a tape recorder to make notes to himself and computer soft- ware that reads e-mails and documents out loud as well as individual letters as he types. But more often than not, it’s simple things like his sense of hearing and smell that are most useful. When he’s out and about Mr. Angus listens intently to traf- fic patterns, especially when he’s crossing at the many local intersections that don’t have audible signals. He uses smell to determine key landmarks along the way, like coffee shops. On this particular day he heads out to run some errands after the gym, using his cane to navigate as he walks through central Ajax to a nearby bank. At one point there’s a near mishap when a large truck pulls past the white lines and into a crosswalk as it waits at a red light -- Mr. Angus is startled to come up against the vehicle and retreats to the safety of a road island. “All it takes is for one thing to change or one thing to be where it’s not supposed to and I’m in trouble,” he admits. At the bank service is smooth, the teller speaks up to let Mr. Angus know he is next in line and tells him when to insert his card in the machine. He uses raised dots on the keypad to enter his PIN and verbally requests the amount of cash he wants. The downside is that he can’t use an ATM, which would be quicker than waiting in line for a teller and allow him to bank outside business hours. While the ATM key pads have raised dots that he can nav- igate, the screens don’t have an audio option, so he has no way of knowing what is written on them. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act is slow- ly phasing in standards with the goal of making the province totally accessible by 2025. On Jan. 1 of this year the customer service standard took effect, which means businesses must provide service that accommodates people with disabili- ties and respects their dignity and independence. Mr. Angus says the majority of places he frequents are meeting this goal -- like his local grocery store, which offers a staff member to accompany him while shopping and help find the items on his list. The biggest barrier he faces daily is a simple lack of aware- ness. For example, many people are hesitant to interact with people with disabilities, because they’re not sure of the eti- quette. Mr. Angus encourages the public to offer to help to anyone who appears to need it -- “if they don’t need assistance they can say ‘no thank you,’ but at least you offered,” he says. When it comes to a person with vision impairment, Mr. Angus recommends introducing yourself by name, even if you’ve met before. It can be difficult and awkward for him to identify people by voice alone. “When I lost my sight I started to realize what it feels like to be marginalized, before that I was just plugging along in life as a middle-class white guy,” he says. “I really started to empathize with the shoes other people are walking in.” Flying blind in a sighted world: Local man offers a glimpse of his day SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND AJAX -- Allan Angus, who’s visually impaired, invited a Metroland Durham reporter and photographer as he went about his day on May 18, to help promote National Access Week. When I lost my sight I started to realize what it feels like to be marginalized. -- Allan Angus 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 11 P PickeringShopTalk.com Videos & Blogs About Local Shopping Check out other Durham Shop Talk Websites too! ajaxshoptalk.com • whitbyshoptalk.com • oshawashoptalk.com Pickering ShopTalk Go to: www.pickeringshoptalk.com to view videos and access blogs that provide useful local shopping information!

At a regular council meeting on May 22, Mayor David Ryan asked munici- pal clerk Debbie Shields to outline the upcoming process for fellow council- lors. She explained that the Compliance Audit Committee has received the audit, which was released May 15, and has set a meeting for Wednesday, June 6 at 7 p.m. in council chambers, at which time it will hear from Coun. Dickerson, the auditor and the three complainants before deciding how to proceed. “Their choices are to accept the report and do nothing, or prosecute,” Ms. Shields explained. “If they choose to prosecute, then it goes into the court system and it’s up to the judge. Council has no involvement in this process, that’s why we have appoint- ed the CAC, so it’s independent and out of City staff and council’s hands.” “We’ve done this to keep council out of the process and I’d ask you all to con- duct yourselves accordingly,” Mayor Ryan told council. Despite the warning, Coun. Jenni- fer O’Connell attempted to put forward a motion that the position of deputy mayor be reconsidered and that Coun. Dickerson be removed from the posi- tion pending the outcome, which drew an admonishment from Mayor Ryan, “You’re presupposing the outcome of the process, the CAC will decide the out- come,” he noted. Coun. O’Connell disagreed, saying “the outcome is in the audit,” and noted she would bring the motion forward at the June council meeting. Coun. Bill McLean also put forward a notice of motion that Coun. Dickerson’s position on the board of Veridian board also be reconsidered, which will also be brought forward at the June meeting. The motions drew an outburst from Coun. Dickerson, who called the coun- cillors “classless.” City Pickering council clashes over campaign audit new bylaw includes revised start time PICKERING -- Council meetings will be starting slightly earlier in Pickering follow- ing the summer break. During a meeting on May 22, councillors voted unanimously to approve a new pro- cedural bylaw to govern the operation of council. The bylaw includes revised meeting start times of 7 p.m., from the current 7:30 p.m., and a set end time of midnight, although councillors will have the option to vote to extend the meeting to 1 a.m. The change to meeting start times will come into effect for the Tuesday, Sept. 4 meeting. The bylaw will also make it easier for res- idents to speak to council by extending the deadline to sign up as a delegation to noon on the day of meetings, rather than the Fri- day before.

The most obvious question fol- lowing the 14-6 loss to the New- market Saints was: what hap- pened? The Ironheads had a 5-3 lead after scoring twice in the opening two minutes of the second period, but Newmarket reeled off six in a row, outscoring the Ironheads 11-1 the rest of the way, to leave the Ajax Community Centre with a relatively easy win. In the post-game interview, Reed had his own brief question and answer period. “Disappointed? Yes. Are we going to work with it? Yes. Are we committed to each other? Hope- fully the players and coaches are on the same page.” Dylan Hutton and then Pat- rick Morgan, on the power play, scored a minute apart to open the second period, giving the Iron- heads a 5-3 lead before every- thing fell apart. Newmarket answered by scoring six straight before Steve Douitsis stopped the run on the power play, mak- ing it 9-6 with 7:24 remaining in the second period. Newmarket scored three to close out the sec- ond and tallied the only two goals of the third period for the 14-6 final. The first period was the best for the Ironheads, who held a 3-1 lead at one point. After Newmar- ket opened the scoring, Shane Takahashi scored, followed by two from Adam Kelusky, the sec- ond on the power play, for a two- goal lead. Newmarket managed to draw even before the period was out with a pair of goals of their own. It was the second game in a row that the Ironheads lost to New- market, falling 9-5 in the front end of the home-and-home on Friday. In that game, Reed was pleased with how his team played, despite the loss. Sunday, not so much. “Just mental breakdowns,” he said of his team’s downfall. “No communication on ‘D’ as to who has who. “The discussion I just had with them (after the game) is we have to be better with the fundamen- tals of lacrosse. We have to com- municate better. We have to com- mit to one another. “We’ll work on it.” Now 4-7-0 on the season, the schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Ironheads who hit the road for three in a row starting Thurs- day against Clarington (10-0-2), and then a weekend trip east to Kahnawake (5-7-0) Saturday and Akwesasne (10-1-0) on Sunday. The scoop Adam Kelusky has wrestled away the team scoring lead from George Jimas. Kelusky has 18-15-33 point totals, while Jimas is second with 23-6-29 num- bers. Jimas had the led until an arm injury forced him to the sidelines for the two games against Newmarket. He is expected back Thursday against the Clarington Green Gaels ... The penalty kill units for the Ironheads didn’t have a lot of success Sunday. Newmarket scored on four of nine chances ... The Ironheads were outshot 57-37. Both teams changed goalies during the game. The Ironheads started Kadyn Pack, but he was lifted for Matt Law with the score 9-5. Newmarket pulled starter Tyler Shannon for call-up J.J. Jenson with 6:44 to go in the game and the score 14-6. Jason LieBregTs / MeTroLand AJAX -- Dylan Hutton of the Ajax Ironheads was ready to check Newmarket’s Colin Mawdsley as he looked to shoot in Jr. B regular season lacrosse action Sunday at the Ajax Community Centre. The Ironheads lost 14-6. roLLer derBy Motor City Madames looking to score second win roller derby returns to ajax community centre on June 9 AJAX -- Durham Region Roller Derby presents its second home bout of the 2012 season featur- ing The Motor City Madames and The Bombshell Battalion of Alliston, at the Ajax Community Centre on June 9. The Motor City Madames of the Durham Region Roller Derby are fresh off a win in Guelph against the Royal City Roller Girls Our Ladies of Pain. The May 5 battle was a close scoring game with non-stop action. The Madames took the win with a score of 134 to 130. Now they’re hungry for a second victory –- this time on home turf. MCM co-captains Slamureye and Karma Screwya are “encour- aged” by the growth of the team. They’ve noted that “skaters have a chemistry, and have been working hard at practices.” MCM has really begun working togeth- er as a team and facing challeng- es head on. The captains said that skaters have been “bonding on and off the track” which has been a part of the team’s suc- cess. The Bombshell Battalion, from the Renegade Derby Dames Roll- er Derby League, is on the road for the first time this season and hoping to dominate. The Bomb- shell Battalion is a newly created team, as derby continues to grow in popularity. Both teams will be looking to make their names on the track. Bombshell Battalion’s player, Slash n’ Burn, says, “Roller derby gives you self-empowerment while finding yourself; all mixed with positive vibes. There is a unique sisterhood in derby and I have found that everyone in this sport is extremely supportive.” Tickets are available in advance for $12 or at the door for $15.

The University of Toronto quar- terback expected to spend the summer preparing for the fall sea- son. But an unexpected call from his coach, Greg Gary, has acceler- ated the time frame. And the call had nothing to do with reporting early to the Varsity Blues football program. Instead, it had to do with report- ing to the Double Blue, the Toron- to Argonauts, who want the Ajax resident to attend their QB and rookie camp that opens today and continues through Friday. “I had no idea,” the Argos were interested, says Quittenton of the unexpected call. “It was com- pletely out of the blue, but it was great news, though. “I have no idea how they even know who I am. I didn’t get very many plays on the field, so I have no idea how they scouted me.” The six-foot-three product of the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins pro- gram just completed his fresh- man season with U of T, dressing for eight games and seeing action in four. While at the helm of the offence, he completed 12 of 22 passes for 128 yards, and rushed nine times for 21 yards. His path to university didn’t fol- low the same route as most. After leading the St. Michael’s Kerry Blues to the Metro Bowl high school football championship in 2008 with a 42-12 win over Whit- by’s Donald A. Wilson, Quitten- ton enrolled at Fork Union Mili- tary Academy in Virginia, hoping that the exposure at a high pro- file program in the United States would help secure an NCAA scholarship. He seemed to be on target to reach that goal, but a badly injured ankle after his first sea- son at Fork Union derailed those plans as he entered his fifth and final year of high school eligibil- ity. “I couldn’t start my senior year, so all the scholarships that I had got dropped,” he says, adding he was disappointed but it wasn’t the “end of the world”. Instead of taking snaps in the NCAA, he came home and enrolled in the arts and science program at U of T. When the Argonauts QB and rookie camp concludes Friday, all players report to training came on Saturday, with two-a- day workouts beginning Sunday. The first exhibition game for the Argonauts is Wednesday, June 13 in Hamilton against the Tiger- Cats.

Messages of condolence may be forwarded to www.barnesmemorialfuneralhome.com HAMILTON, Wendy -Nov 19, 1940-May 16, 2012. It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our Aunt and best friend. Wendy Hamilton, beloved Aunt to Heather DeRoy of Barrie, Anna Caron of Kitchener and Elaine Borotra of Saint-Pierre passed away on May 16 at Belleville, Onta- rio. Aunt Wendy was a loyal and devoted sister to our mother, Jean Howard, of Morris- ton and will be sadly missed by great nieces and nephews Jazmine DeRoy, Jordan DeRoy, John Caron, Ryan Borotra and Jason Borotra. Wendy was predeceased by par- ents Annie and Albert Howard and great niece Danielle Caron. Aunt Wendy brought us all together and we will never forget her love and laughter. God knew the need for someone To add humour to our hearts. Someone who would spice Our lives with laughter and mischief. Someone we could run to For special comfort and friendship; Someone whose life would Touch ours in a Hundred different ways... So He made Aunts. Aunt Wendy was a teacher, vice principal and principal at various schools throughout Durham Region. Upon retiring as principal from T. R. McEwen Senior Public School for the Durham District School Board she moved to her home on Baptiste Lake near Bancroft. It was at the lake that Aunt Wendy enjoyed entertaining friends and family and many fond memories were made. Our family is especially grateful to friends and neighbours of Aunt Wendy's who were a constant sup- port during her hospital stay in Belleville ICU. We know that you will miss her at Tuesday night bridge games, at Friday lunches, on the golf course and in her beautiful garden at the lake. We also wish to send a special thank you to Erma from Bancroft who saved Gem from the hospital parking lot, to Bill for letting Gem stay with him, to nurses Corinne, Erica, Cheri Jo, Shelley and other ICU nurses and doctors in both Bancroft and Belleville. The care and comfort you provided for Aunt Wendy was incredible and will not be forgot- ten. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Bancroft and Belleville hospitals and Hospice of Bancroft. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay, But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back To suffer that again Nick Pappas Husband, Father and Grandfather March 20, 1941 to May 31, 2002 Love Pat, Irene, Katie, Nicholas, Stacey, Jim, Jimmy and Patrick KURTS, JOHN - - Peacefully at The Village of Taunton Mills Retirement Home on Sunday, May 27, 2012 in his 87th year.
