One cubic yard of high quality Garden Soil in a Bulk Bag GARDEN SOIL NEW Emily Jackson newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit against Durham Region Health puts a $5.99 price tag on the patient data doc- tors are privy to. The lawsuit was filed against Durham Region after a nurse lost a USB key laden with the unencrypted personal information of 83,524 people in December 2009. According to the proposed settlement, which still must be approved by a judge but was signed by lawyers for both parties on May 3, the Region will pay $500,000 in costs, dis- bursements and taxes. If the judge agrees to that amount, the loss of each person’s data will cost Durham Region at least $5.99. The Region could also be on the hook for individual payments to those who took a financial hit because their information was on the lost USB key -- if those people can prove that happened. “It is a reasonable outcome that balances the rights of the class members with the financial resources available to the Region of Durham,” said Sean Brown, lawyer for the plaintiffs, in a statement attached to the proposed settlement. The USB key contained names, phone num- bers, dates of birth, health card numbers and primary physician names of people vaccinat- ed against H1N1 in eight clinics from Oct. 23 to Dec. 15, 2009. It was dropped somewhere between the regional headquarters parking garage and the building on Dec. 16, 2009. The key was never found, sparking major concerns of identity theft. Every extra piece of information about a per- son makes it easier to commit fraud. More than $13.2 million was reported stolen from Canadian victims of identity theft in 2011, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. The class action suit against Durham Region, which originally demanded $40 million in damages, was filed in April 2011. It alleged negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of privacy, public misfeasance and a breach of Charter rights. None of the allegations has been proven in court. In the proposed settlement agreement, Dur- ham Region expressly denied all liability. Yet the proposed settlement outlines a pro- cess for people to file compensation claims. Before any cash is paid, Durham Region will take steps to “mitigate the harm.” If a person is still not satisfied, they can try for monetary compensation. The process could take as long as eight months. How much money a person receives will be “based on common law principles.” The settlement will go before a judge for final approval July 3. If approved, people whose information was on the lost USB key have until Aug. 2, 2016 to make a claim. coURTs Durham Region Health lawsuit puts price on personal information 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 1 , 2 0 1 2 4 P Swivel tub chairs Wing chairs Gliders Swivel rockers BUY ANY 2 CHAIRS FOR $799 ALSO ON SALE ...

New site includes CityApp, live chat PICKERING -- A new website designed to meet the evolving needs of residents, businesses and stakeholders in the City of Pickering is now live at www.pickering.ca. As the digital front door of the city, www.pickering.ca was created with a clean design fea- turing images that evoke the natural beauty and charm of Pickering while pro- viding users with easy access to infor- mation, increased functionality and enhanced communi- cation tools. The website is the first in Durham Region to feature a live chat option, where users can communi- cate directly with a Customer Care Centre staff person during regular business hours without having to pick up the phone or visit City Hall. As another first, the website also features CityApp, an application developed specifi- cally for municipalities to better communi- cate with residents by providing them with timely information on the go, including news, events, service disruptions or pub- lic notices. The application can be down- loaded on Blackberry or Android smart- phones. “I wish to acknowledge the tremendous staff effort that went into the website proj- ect,” said Tony Prevedel, CAO for the City of Pickering. “The new pickering.ca redefines the municipal web experience and provides community members and stakeholders with all the information they need on their computer, tablet or smartphone. I encour- age everyone to visit pickering.ca and dis- cover all that our wonderful city has to offer.” The City has also enhanced its social media efforts to engage the community in two-way dialogue and the new website includes a social media page with access to the City’s various Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn and YouTube accounts. The new website is also equipped with a number of accessibility features such as Google Translate, a service that instantly translates text and web pages, BrowseAl- oud, and a text-size tool available on all pages to assist those with a visual impair- ment.

E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 1-800-667-5671 www.durham.ca/waste What kind of containers can I use for my yard waste material? Please note that yard waste set out in plastic bags will not be collected. Please use either kraft paper yard waste bags or clearly labelled rigid, open-top reusable containers for yard waste collected curbside. These containers cannot exceed 20 kilograms (44 pounds) in weight. Bundles of brush must be securely tied into bundles up to one metre (three feet) in length, and 76 centimetres (30 inches) in width, weighing no more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Except for Whitby and Oshawa, there is a three-bundle limit per collection where the Region provides services. Brush and tree trimmings must be eight centimetres (three inches) or less in diameter. Please check your local collection calendar or durham.ca/waste for more details on yard waste collection in your municipality and for a list of acceptable yard waste items. Can I put grass clippings in my yard waste containers? No, grass clippings are not accepted as yard waste for curbside collection. The Region of Durham encourages residents to grasscycle by leaving clippings on the lawn after mowing. Grass clippings are a natural fertilizer,and they also act as a mulch helping to control soil temperature and retain moisture. This can reduce the need for watering and lower your water bill. Why can’t I use plastic bags to line my green bin? Plastic bags are not permissible within the Region’s Green Bin program because they do not breakdown or degrade, making it very costly and inefficient to separate them from compostable material. Certified compostable bags break down naturally as the organics begin to decompose, and the bags become part of the finished compost product. For a list of 100 per cent certified compostable liner bag brands, please visit durham.ca/waste. My green bin sometimes has odours; do you have any tips on how to control this? The material going into your green bin is the same material that once went into your garbage can, and can contribute to odours.Yo u can reduce odours by occasionally washing your green bin and kitchen catcher with a mild detergent, and by emptying the kitchen catcher every two to three days, or when full. The kitchen catcher is dishwasher safe. Some additional tips include: •Keep the green bin dry and the lid locked shut. •Do not place your green bin in direct sunlight. •Line your curbside green bin with a large paper food waste bag or a certified compostable liner bag made for your curbside container to help keep it clean. •Clean out your fridge a day or two before your collection day. •Store raw meat scraps in the freezer until collection day,if space permits. •Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom of the green bin. ontarioshores.ca Join us at our 6th Annual General Meeting as we celebrate our accomplishments and launch our new five-year strategic plan.

And a legacy Jan de Vries would deeply appreciate would be to keep our soldiers’ sacrifices alive in the minds of Canadians, especially our youth. The decorated Second World War vet- eran died Sunday. When Canadian troops landed on Juno Beach in France on D-Day, June 6, 1944, Mr. de Vries and other members of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion were already there: the paratroopers jumped into the darkness between 1 and 1:30 a.m. on that day of days to help pave the way for the troops who would follow hours later. By mid-day, the battalion had accom- plished all of its objectives. Less than a year later, Mr. de Vries would jump again, this time into Germany. We had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. de Vries several times over the years. He regularly spoke with students in local classrooms, giving them a history lesson no book could duplicate. Mr. de Vries felt it was his sacred duty to ensure our war dead were not forgotten. Eight years before his death Mr. de Vries told us it pleased him greatly that an increasing number of young people, and people in general, are interested in the Second World War and the veterans who fought in it. “Also, I’m happy the kids are interested in learning about Canada,” he says. “You know, I use that expression a lot, why do the kids have to look down south for heroes, we’ve got them here.” He certainly was one but, like many vet- erans, Mr. de Vries humbly dismissed his extraordinary contribution. “You only did what needed to be done,” he said. “I almost feel a little embarrassed that you get this attention for what had to be done.” His actions during and following the war meant he would often feel embar- rassed. Mr. de Vries returned to Normandy in 2004, when he was awarded the Legion of Honour from France, presented by then- president Jacques Chirac. He received the award at the ceremony to commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Mr. de Vries worked tirelessly to make the Juno Beach Centre a reality. In 2007, he was appointed to the Order of Canada. Jan de Vries was most proud when rep- resenting, in his words, “the fellows we lost in the wars and the ones who are still around today.” He represented them and Canada well. Any Twitter user who spends enough time using the microblogging site knows the signs of a follower being hacked. They include repeated tweets for stuff like “I made $400 an hour working from home, click here and find out how”. They get direct messages with some variation of “You won’t believe what his guys said about you” fol- lowed by a link or some pitch for weight loss. Of course the messages aren’t from your friends; they’re from spammers who have compromised the account. Often the spam- mers access Twitter accounts through mali- cious apps, so it’s important to only approve access requests from trusted sources. If I notice one of my followers has been hacked and if there’s an easy way to contact them, I’ll send them a quick e-mail to let them know. So it was this week when I started getting spam messages from Durham real estate agent Kevin Clarke. He e-mailed me back and said several people had mentioned he’d been hacked, but he wasn’t sure what he should do. Change his Twitter user name or delete the account altogether? In my opinion, neither of those actions are necessary. I suggested reclaiming the account and changing the password and deleting the offending tweets. It’s also important to review what apps are permitted in the set- tings section and revoke the permission for anything that’s not a trusted app. An apology tweet to his followers would suffice and if he was particularly wor- ried about a person, he could send them a direct message. He said he found the whole thing embarrassing and I can see how that would be a worry for someone using Twit- ter for business. However, most people are understanding and the spammy nature of the tweets is a clear sign to them that Mr. Clarke was not behind them. It takes time to build up followers and name recognition, so deleting accounts should be a last resort, because if you decide to give Twitter anoth- er try, you’ll be back to square one. With respect to changing the Twitter name, while it’s simple enough it becomes more complicated if you’ve promoted the Twitter account online or in printed mate- rial for a business and your followers may continue to tweet at the old name. If we look at celebrity tweeters, many of them have been hacked at some point. I remember a couple of years ago when the Fox News Twitter account tweeted “Breaking: Bill O Riley is gay”. The fact that network misspelled the name of its biggest star was the first clue that the account had been hacked. At about that time CNN’s Rick Sanchez tweeted the following: “i am high on crack right now might not be coming into work today.” Last year the Fox News account was hacked again and a tweet was posted declaring that U.S. president Barack Obama had died. Other celebrities who have been hacked include Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Pres- ident Obama, whose Twitter account asked people to take a survey about the president for a chance to win $500 or a gas card. Clearly, Mr. Clarke is in good company. They say that everyone gets hacked at some point these days and it becomes sim- ply an issue of managing the problem when it crops up. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

DURHAM -- Durham residents are encour- aged to trade in their old jerry cans at an upcoming Fuel Can Flip event. Experts say old cans can waste money through spilled, leaked and evaporated gasoline -- and pose a risk to the environ- ment and human health. The first program of its kind in Canada, Fuel Can Flip was designed by Summer- hill Impact to reward people for replac- ing their old, high-emission fuel contain- ers with cleaner, lower-emission alterna- tives. Local residents can take old cans to haz- ardous household waste collection days being hosted by the Region of Durham. Events are planned for June 2 from 8 a.m. to noon at 800 Salem Rd. in Ajax and June 16 from 8 a.m. to noon at 291 Brock St. W. in Uxbridge. The first 50 people to trade in an old fuel can will receive a free eco-Can. “There are currently more than nine million old fuel containers in use in Can- ada that are seeping and releasing emis- sions, affecting our air, land and water and impacting our health,” said Corey Diamond, managing director at Summer- hill Impact. All containers collected through Fuel Can Flip will be recycled by the Pnewko Brothers, a company committed to divert- ing plastic from landfills and converting it into new products.

Apartment and condominium building own- ers, managers, superintendents and security staff responsible for fire safety issues and emergency response got a refresher course in fire safety proce- dures during a one-day fire safety seminar hosted by Pickering Fire Services, in partnership with Ajax Fire and Emergency Services, on May 17. “Education is a critical component of Pickering Fire Services,” said Pickering Fire Chief Bill Doug- las. “By providing this type of outreach, we hope to better educate the public so that we can reduce the number of fire emergencies in our community, which in turn could potentially save lives.” The seminar addressed all aspects of the emer- gency planning provisions laid out in section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code, giving the 60 attendees a clear understanding of their roles and responsibili- ties for fire safety within their respective buildings. Key highlights of the seminar included emergency procedures for employees to follow in the event of emergency ServiceS Pickering building managers get lesson in fire safety fire or upon activation of the fire alarm system, emergency evacu- ation procedures specific to buildings, an overview of the many fire safety features and systems provided in high-rise buildings, Ontario Fire Code requirements for routinely performing main- tenance on building fire safety features, tips on promoting tenant fire safety awareness and fire extinguisher training.

Saturday June 2 8am-12pm800 Salem Rd., Operations Centre Third app allows iPhone users to easily create animations Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Anyone looking to liven up their social media profiles can get a lit- tle help from Pickering student Ryan Wil- liams. The 17-year-old Notre Dame Catholic School student is celebrating the success of his third app, Gif- mator, which lets users easily combine pho- tos or videos to create animated files, known as GIFs, for sharing on Facebook, Tumblr or for use as Twitter pro- files. “A GIF is more alive than a picture,” Ryan said, noting he thought iPhone users needed an easy way to create the anima- tions. “A picture is just a single frame and the one pose you take the picture in is what it’s like for whoever sees it. A GIF you can make more alive, do different poses, make it funny or make it sad. A GIF can tell a lon- ger story than a picture can.” This is the third app Ryan has developed since the age of 11, when he got his start with a game called Paratrooper, which sold about 100 copies. “It was really bad,” Ryan recalls of his first effort, noting he had a lot to learn about programming. “I’ve learned a lot more about debug- ging problems since then and I had to teach myself stuff you don’t even know in high school, like matrix multiplication and graph theory.” After a clock app didn’t sell very well on iTunes, Ryan learned to better anticipate what people might need. “I look at what people post on blogs to find out what they want and tailor my development to that,” he explains, crediting his ongoing love of pro- gramming to his fam- ily. “I was raised around programming, my Dad pro- grammed in university and he gave me a programming book when I was seven, to read when I was older, but I couldn’t wait,” he explained. “I read it right away and I’ve been programming ever since.” The hobby has led to solid success with Gifmator, which went to number one in France, Italy and Spain after a free down- load promotion resulted in 150,000 down- loads in one day at the beginning of May. “It’s something fun that all age groups can use,” Ryan said of Gifmator. “It’s some- thing someone with not a lot of technical skills can easily use.” Ryan plans to continue his programming efforts by studying software engineering at the University of Waterloo once he gradu- ates, but plans to continue his extra-cur- ricular programming efforts in the mean- time.

It provides another necessity of life: forests. Who- ever decided a century ago to protect stream headwaters up there, and plant trees on tracts of cleared lands where sandy soils were blowing away in the wind, deserves a whole lot of thanks today. Certain birds -- pileated woodpeckers, ruffed grouse and barred owls, for example -- need big stretches of mature forest habitat. They need space to find enough food for them and their young, and to hide their nest in. I was walking through a woods in the Ridges recently and hap- pened to spot a male sapsucker on a poplar tree near the trail. Like other woodpeckers, they excavate cavities for nesting, and sure enough, there was a fresh round hole in that pop- lar. I watched quietly as the bird hopped down the trunk to the entrance and poked his head in -- delivering insects or grubs to young babies? To his mate sit- ting on eggs? Next time I was passing by I looked for sapsuckers and couldn’t spot any. Until I trained my binoculars on the hole, and saw a bright red, clownish face peering out, with a white streak on each cheek: the male sap- sucker. He was taking his turn babysitting in the pair’s for- tress home, where crows, blue jays and grackles, not to men- tion chipmunks, squirrels and raccoons, couldn’t get at the babies, and sharp-shinned hawks and merlins couldn’t get at him. Breeding season is the one time of year birds can’t just fly away from danger. For as long as it takes for eggs to hatch and babies to fledge, they’re all stuck at the nest, vulnerable to pred- ators. Different species have evolved different strategies for protection, including camou- flage and stealth. Not much can get at a family of sapsuckers hiding away in a liv- ing tree -- except bears. Studies in Algonquin Park have shown that black bears often follow the sound of young sapsuckers hollering for food, climb up the tree and bite into the hollow. I came across another bird in those woods that had a different protection strategy for its nest and young: outright aggression. A loud “kye-kye-kye!” cry, grow- ing rapidly louder, was my first warning, and then a large grey raptor came flying out of a grove of big maples, clearly upset by my presence. It didn’t just land on a limb and scold, but actively dived at me as I turned and ran, and followed me down the trail a ways, darting and screaming, and very successfully scaring me out of its territory. It was a northern goshawk, champion flyer of the forest, which would be well able to defend its big stick nest from fishers, martens, raccoons, and likely even bears.

Adopt-a-cat next month Kristen CAlis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- $114. This was the price of my latest cat food purchase. Sure, I stocked up on cans and a giant bag for my two kitties that will hopefully last two months, but it was still a huge amount. I could have bought a pair of jeans, or a new digital camera, or 10 new books. But no, my wonderful cats get top-of-the line cat food that my vet recommends. While this is a huge payment, I’m happy to provide the best for my cats. But it also got me thinking of the everyday costs that potential cat owners have to prepare for if they’re going to adopt a pet. But if you can handle the financial costs (and potential costs of emer- gency vet care) and love animals, adopting a cat would be a great choice. June is adopt-a-cat month in the United States, so I thought I’d take the time to talk about wonderful felines and all of the joy they bring to our lives. My two cats are both very differ- ent but have such strong personali- ties. Honestly, before I adopted my oldest, I considered myself mainly a dog person. But now that I have two of my own felines, I couldn’t imag- ine life without them rolling all over the ground showing their glee (at least in my eyes) when I get home, their demands for attention when I have company, or their soft purring when they sleep. They add joy to my life each and every day, and I will never give them up. It’s important to note that cats have feelings too. They become attached to their owners and all they want is to be loved, fed and comfort- able for the rest of their lives. When we adopt a pet, it should be for life. If you’re interested in adopting a cat, there are a number of shelters right here in Durham. Jump on the Internet and see what’s out there. I suggest adopting from a regis- tered charity that includes spaying or neutering, microchip and initial vaccines in its adoption fee. Top 10 checklist for adopting a cat, according to the American Humane Association. 1. If you’re thinking about adopt- ing a cat, consider taking home two. 2. Find a cat whose personality meshes with yours. 3. Pick out a veterinarian ahead of time and schedule a visit within the first few days following adoption. 4. Make sure everyone in the house is prepared to have a cat before it comes home. 5. Budget for the short- and long- term costs of a cat. 6. Stock up on supplies before the cat arrives. 7. Cat-proof your home. 8. Go slowly when introducing your cat to new friends and family. 9. Be sure to include your new pet in your family’s emergency plan. 10. If you’re considering giving a cat as a gift, make sure the recipient is an active participant in the adop- tion process. UPCOMinG Celebrate The Animal Guardian Soci- ety’s 25th anniversary.

The group of 10 Ajax youths, ages 11 to 14, were on the water with three troop leaders around noon, testing a raft they built for an upcoming competition, when they noticed the man was in trouble. “We were just training the kids for an upcoming camp, and teaching them how to pole and how to manoeuvre in the raft,” said troop leader Claudia Menegotti. “When he went into distress, his boat went adrift, so the current was taking it. We saw him with a tiny little oar, trying to pad- dle back to shore and we thought there’s no way this guy’s going to make it. So, we went over, tossed him a rope and pulled him into shore. They pulled him out of the water and then helped him load the boat back up on to his trailer.” Though the water was rife with people enjoying the warm weather, Ms. Menegot- ti said the Scouts were the only ones who helped the man when his motor died. “It was disappointing, but it was a good les- son for the kids to see, because there were other people with Seadoos and boats and no one went to the fellow’s aid,” she said. She added the man was grateful for the assistance. “He was very thankful,” she said. “And he was very concerned, because he said he didn’t know what he would do otherwise, because he had no means of gaining con- trol of his vessel.” The rescue almost went off without a hitch, except when the bay’s sandy bot- tom snagged one of the poles needed to manoeuvre the raft. “It actually became a great adventure for them,” Ms. Menegotti said. “Not only did we have a raft that we were trying to pull into shore, we also lost a pole and had to go retrieve the pole while we were towing him.” She noted the Scouts were happy to help. “They were so thrilled to help him,” she said. “It was nice. It’s so heartwarming to see the kids being so helpful and so proac- tive in wanting to help.” The Scouts coordinated their rescue between group members on the water and shore. “I’m just very proud of them,” Ms. Mene- gotti said. She then stopped and laughed, invoking Mastercard’s famous Priceless campaign. “Twenty thousand dollar boat. Two hun- dred dollar raft. Scout rescue: priceless.” Reporter Tara Hatherly can be found on Twitter @Tara_ Hatherly and on Facebook by searching Tara Hatherly.

In terms of inspiration, she need look no further than the founder of Windreach Farm in Ashburn, where she has been taking thera- peutic riding for many years. “I mostly look up to Sandy Mitchell because he’s been to the Paralympics and he made Win- dreach Farms for kids with dis- abilities,” Power said of Mitchell, who has competed in equestrian for Bermuda at the past three Par- alympics. “He’s my hero. I want to be like him and do competitions and help people with disabilities as well.” Power, who like Mitchell was born with cerebral palsy, will be in London this summer courtesy of a partnership between Chev- rolet and the Grandview Chil- dren’s Foundation, where she has received treatment since she was one. A 16-year-old Ajax resident and student of Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School, Power is thrilled beyond belief with the opportunity to attend the Paralympic Games, which run from Aug. 29 to Sept. 9, fol- lowing the Olympics. “I’m very excited about the opportunity of going,” said Power, who will be joined by her father. “Not many people get to go to the Paralympics to see it.” Peter Cornu, who’s in charge of national sponsorship and events for Chevrolet, says Grandview is a logical choice to partner with, being in the same backyard as General Motors Canada, and that Power was a great candidate for the all-expenses paid trip for two to London. “Amanda’s just a great person, you can just tell from her engag- ing smile and the way she inter- acts with the entire group,” he said at a press conference. “It’s been a great opportunity for us to expose our product to the Cana- dian public and also give back to these athletes who do so much. It’s amazing how much work they do to strive to be fantastic ath- letes.” Power seems to be on the right track to competing at the Para- lympics. She finished first in her first-ever competition, followed by a third and another first. “That’s my dream goal,” she said, citing dressage as her area of expertise. “When I’m on a horse, I feel I can do anything I want. It helps me build up my courage, and it helps with my muscles that I don’t use every single day.” Vicky Earle, Grandview’s exec- utive director, said partnerships like this one with Chevrolet are much needed for a centre that serves 4,700 children in Durham Region, but has an additional 1,200 on a waiting list. And she believes Power to be an excellent recipient and role model. “She’s obviously a wonder- ful inspiration to other clients in the centre because she’s doing so much and achieving so much,” Earle said. “She’s so full of life and that’s what we like to see.” JAson lieBregts / MetrolAnd OSHAWA -- Amanda Power is being sent to the Paralympics in London, sponsored by Chevrolet, represented by Peter Cornu. ryAn Pfeiffer / MetrolAnd easy call PICKERING -- Pickering Trojans first baseman Llija Bozinovski couldn’t make the play on Pine Ridge Pumas player Tyler Baker during their LOSSA varsity baseball game at Woodsmere Park.

The Ajax resident recently signed a letter of intent to join the Fordham Rams men’s basketball team next season. The six-foot-one high school guard helped Blair Academy (New Jersey) win the MAPL champi- onship at the Hun School 52-47, leading the Bucs with 25 points. Myers was one of four players signed by Fordham. “We’re very excited to have this group of young men join us and become part of the Fordham Uni- versity basketball family,” Ford- ham’s head coach Tom Pecora said. “They all have great poten- tial as both young men and stu- dent-athletes and we feel con- fident that they will grow and achieve their personal goals, as well as our team’s goals, in their time at Fordham.” 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 1 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

Ajax (inside Ajax Home Depot) Young lineup comes up short against Kitchener-Waterloo Brad KellY bkelly@durhamregion.com KITCHENER -- It took the Ajax Rock a couple of periods to get going, and by then, it was a little too late in their season opener. The Major Series Lacrosse club came out on the short end of a 17-9 decision to the Kitchener-Water- loo Kodiaks in the season opening game for the league on Tuesday night. The Rock were down 5-1 after the first period and 12-4 after two. Clem D’Orazio, in his first game behind the bench as GM/head coach of the Rock, liked what he saw from some of his rookies in the game, including four who managed to score, and the tough- ness they showed. “We didn’t give up in the third period even though we were down by eight goals,” he said, as the Rock managed to even the Kodiaks with five goals each over the final 20 minutes. “We tried to fight back and continued to come at them.” Rookies Cade Zulak, Craig Eng- land, Kyle Davis and Brendon Niesink had one goal each for the Rock, who were led offensively by Jesse Guerin. He had three goals and three assists on the night and was named the game’s third star. Kiel Donahue and Brock Boyle also scored for the Rock. Anoth- er rookie, Brendan Muise, had a big night, chipping in with three assists. Tyler Carlson started in goal and was replaced by Tye Belanger just past the midway point of the sec- ond period. The duo faced 56 shots, while the Rock fired 47. On the disappointing side, D’Orazio wasn’t happy with his team’s transition game. “We are expected to be a fast team and we didn’t show that,” he said. Things don’t get any easier for the Rock, who travel to Peterbor- ough to face the Lakers on Thurs- day. D’Orazio pointed out the lineup on the floor for the second game will be different from the one in Kitchener. “We went with a young lineup (in Kitchener) to see who could handle Sr. A lacrosse. Now we’ll go Thursday with an older lineup and have a better mentality of what’s to be expected.” lacrosse Ajax Rock drop opener 17-9 We didn’t give up in the third period even though we were down by eight goals.

HocKeY Shore named Whitby Fury MVP WHITBY -- After a successful sea- son that saw the Whitby Fury reach the Ontario Junior Hockey League finals, they’ve handed out some hardware to the players that helped get them there. Seven different players received awards at the team’s end-of-year banquet recently, with Uxbridge native Matt Davis taking home the Cliff Maddock Award as the team’s leading scorer during the regular season. Davis, acquired during the sea- son in a trade with the Lindsay Muskies, finished with 23-38-61 totals between the two clubs, just edging out Devin Shore for the lead by three points. Shore wasn’t left out of the awards, though, as the Ajax native was honoured with the Bill Smith Award as the team’s most valu- able player. Participating in the NHL draft combine this week in Toronto, Shore had 29 goals and 58 points during the regular season before adding another 32 points in the playoffs to lead the way in that department. Others honoured included Pick- ering’s Chris Raguseo, the team’s captain, who took home the Spirit Sportswear Award as best defenceman, while Brad McAllis- ter of Pickering skated away with the Crouch Family Unsung Fury Award. 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 1 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP A/C Refrigerant $949 A/C Compressor from $16999 A/C Condenser from $8999 Brake Rotors or Drum from $1199Economy Premium Brake Pads from $999Economy Wagner ThermoQuiet from $2495 from $2499 from $3995Economy BCA/National from $7999Hub Bearing Assembly Ball Joint from $1299Economy Moog from $2479 A/C Recharge Kit $2989 Huge Discountfor Commercial Accounts SHOP ONLINE www.hotspotautoparts.com Hours: Mon. - Fri. 8 - 5, Sat. 8 - 2 Shocks from $1999 Monroe-Matic 1yr. warr.

The programs consists of a pool of 27 players all playing in a rotating roster under the direc- tion of technical staff coach Michelle White. The girls will be playing this summer in the U9 FDP league run by the Durham Region Soc- cer Association, competing against teams from West Rouge, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Dar- lington and North Durham. The league is set up with an open roster so as to allow play- ers the opportunity to play on either team during the summer. Coach White comments, “I love the new FDP format for the younger players as the open ros- ter concept gives an opportunity on a weekly basis for the players that are developing to challenge themselves and play on a high- er tier team, and for the play- ers that are already consistent- ly challenged in the lower tier, to get the playing time to learn and gain confidence with pos- sible advancement. The flexibil- ity of moving players during the season is great to aid in personal development.” Recently the girls compet- ed in their first tournament in Oshawa, with two squads, Ajax 2003 Red and Ajax 2003 White, and were very successful play- ing a total of eight games, with a record of six wins, one tie and one loss. The teams scored an impres- sive 40 goals during the tourna- ment and only conceded six. Team members are Efeaye Abu, Ava Beckett, Grace Beggs, Alan- na Clarke, Carys Collie, Char- lotte Currer, Ella Rae Damario, Megan Gardy, Meghan Hodg- son, Rebecca Lo, Malia Maika- wa, Beth Matthews, Morghan McCausland, Phoenix McCo- nnell, Sierra O’Grady, Kristina Petrou, Bronwen Pinheiro, Sage Prince, Lisa Price, Rayana Rojo Bolton, Mali Schneider, Nikay- la Small, Faith Smith, Sierra Tieche, Shayann Titus, Taliyah Walker, and Dior Wilson. Both teams are coached by Michelle White, assisted by Jes- sica Doyle and Chevell Henry, and managed by Kim O’Grady.

AUCTION DEPOT CANADA - www.auctioneer.ca TERRY RYAN Jan. 8/47 - May 31/02 As I sit here and write this memorial to my dear late husband Terry, the tears start falling. It has been ten years since my darling Terry was tragically taken from me and his dear family and friends. It seems a long time but the wonderful memories of the life we had and the future we had planned don't seem that long ago. I miss his love, his wonderful smile, his understanding, his love for his precious sons and grand- children and extended family and friends. Terry was a police officer who genuinely cared for his fellow officers and for the well-being of the community. The police world was also his family! He was always there for everyone, sometimes I thought too much, as he was not home a lot, but I thought we would have lots of time together in our retirement. But, it was not to be, thanks to a man who chose to drink and drive. That man shattered our dreams and killed a great man! Terry deserved more; he should have seen the wonderful men his sons became and seen all of his beautiful grandchildren. They would have loved him, as we all did! Thank you for the wonderful years we had together Terry! I will always love you and hope that we will meet again! Love - Wife Carol Son - Kevin, Stacey, Bailey, Hayden, Liam Son - Jamie, Trish, Brittany, Deynah, Terryn PLEASE DON'T DRINK & DRIVE Father’s DayTributes 905-683-5110 ext. 286 Publishing Friday June 15 Deadline Tuesday June 12 For further information please call Erin at We have been blessed to have such a loving angel in our lives. You were an inspiration, a source of strength, a trooper, a friend to all, a comfort, and a rock for us to lean on. Your memory will be cherished always. We love you and miss you every day.
