PICKERING SENIOR HONOURED MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The growing and thriving South Pickering Seniors Club can thank the city’s Senior of the Year for its success. Dave Simpson, who has been president of the club since 2007, is being honoured with the Senior of the Year award from the City for his work to ensure area seniors have access to social programs and activities. “It’s so important because so many seniors here are on their own and if they didn’t have somewhere to gather and socialize they would just fade away,” Mr. Simpson said of the importance of the club. “Every summer we close down for two weeks and people almost go crazy because they can’t come. It really is their second home. Hav- ing a place to go, programs available and social interaction is very important.” And it’s not just his members who rely on the club. At the age of 84, Mr. Simpson credits it with keeping him young. “I like the social contact, it keeps me busy and keeps my mind active,” he explains.

PHOTOZONE Kristina Vaculik: Gymnastics Melanie McCann: Pentathlon Scott Dickens: Swimming Colin Russell: Swimming Cops seize 20 computer hard drives in raids DURHAM -- A joint effort by Durham police and the OPP has led to the arrest of six Durham Region men on child pornogra- phy charges. Investigators are still sift- ing through material stored on more than 20 computer hard drives seized during raids Mon- day and Tuesday. A total of 19 charges relating to the possession, accessing and trading of child porn have been laid against suspects from Whitby, Pickering, Uxbridge, Oshawa and Ajax. The men haven’t been linked but all are alleged to have used peer-to-peer computer sites to share child pornography, Dur- ham police Deputy Chief Scott Burns said Tuesday afternoon at police headquarters in Whitby. “To the best of our knowledge at this time these individuals did not know each other,” the deputy chief said, calling the effort by Durham cops and OPP officers indicative of an “ongo- ing commitment” to battle child porn. “This is not a victimless crime,” Deputy Chief Burns said. “There’s a young victim in every image and every video stream.” The number of images seized during this week’s raids hasn’t yet been calculated, said Detec- tive Randy Norton of Durham’s Internet Child Exploitation unit. It’s also not yet known if police will be able to identify any chil- dren who have been victimized. The Durham-OPP project began in mid-May and culmi- nated with this week’s arrests, he said. During the investigation, one Whitby resident was busted for marijuana cultivation and pos- session for the purpose of traf- ficking. OPP Inspector Scott Naylor said the alarming proliferation of child pornography on the Internet is an ongoing issue for police. He called for legislative change, such as provisions in the federal government’s omni- bus crime bill, to help cops quickly identify Internet users when they detect porn-related activity online. “We’re not going to arrest our way out of this problem,” he said. “When we’re dealing with child victims, time is of the essence.” Facing charges of possessing, accessing and making available child pornography are: • James Clarence Kauffeldt, 26, of Bassett Boulevard, Whitby • Michael Horace Kirlew, 54, of The Esplanade North, Pickering • Steven Wayne Brown, 40, of Cedar Street, Uxbridge • Bentley Sevink, 28, of Pine Avenue, Oshawa • Metrea James (Jim) Dim- itroff, 69, of Carnaby Court, Oshawa, and • Ian Conely, 62, of Finlay Ave- nue, Ajax. Facing drug charges is Michael Randall, 41, of Byron Street, Whitby.

Sale ends June 30-2012 New report proposes three-per cent fee hike Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Region of Durham is pro- posing a three-per cent increase to the cost of child care at its six centres in Durham. A new report recommends bumping the daily rate between 75 cents and $1.25 depending on the age of the child, as of Sept. 1. For example, full-day care for toddlers would increase from $41.50 to $42.75 a day, while full-day care for preschoolers would jump from $39 to $40 a day. The increase got approval from the health and social services committee June 7, but still needs the green light from regional council. Region staff said most children at its day- care centres are full-time, which means a typical family could see an increase of between $15 and $25 a month. Roxanne Lambert, director of children’s services, says the increase is necessary to offset the cost of staffing pay and benefits, as well as operational costs such as food and playground maintenance. “The majority of licensed childcare cen- tres in Durham have put forward a request for fee increases ... we are competitive with what others are charging,” she noted. The Region report lists the per day cost for toddlers at local non-profit daycare at $48.40, compared with $43 at a local com- mercial daycare -- both above the Region’s proposed increase to $42.75. The Region’s daycare centres also saw a three-per cent cost increase last year. This year’s increase is expected to bring in about $15,000 in additional revenue by the end of this year. The Region operates six childcare cen- tres, which provide care for about 300 kids ranging from toddler to school-age.

Durham police say they received “multiple” complaints about inappropriate behaviour. Investigators want to hear from anyone else who may have had a similar experience at the Canadian Pastry Shop on Clements Road. Complainants said they were invited to the shop after responding to online ads for a pastry helper. Applicants asked to display their dessert decorating skills were subjected to comments of a sexual nature, followed by inappropriate touching, police said. Police arrested a suspect Tuesday. Sajeev Varghese, 38, of Black Drive in Ajax, is charged with two counts of sexual assault. Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2548 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Pickering bank robbed at gunpoint, two charged PICKERING -- Two men were quickly arrested after a gunpoint robbery Friday morning in Pickering. Two masked bandits, one of them armed with a sawed-off shotgun, jumped a counter at the CIBC branch on Glennana Road and demanded cash during the 10:15 a.m. rob- bery, Durham police said. The suspects fled but were apprehended a short time later. Darian Walters, 18, of Radom Street, Pickering, and Trevor Pearson, 18, of Farmers Ave- nue, Ajax, face robbery and weapons charges. Three charged in Pickering drug bust PICKERING -- Three people are facing charges after a bust in Pickering that saw cops seize $20,000 worth of drugs and cash. Crack cocaine, marijuana and cash were seized when Durham police executed a search war- rant at a Radom Street residence Friday. Officers also recovered drug paraphernalia, cutting agents and cellphones. A woman was arrested by officers at the scene and two men were sub- sequently apprehended, police said. Ryaan MacMillan, 27, of Pickering, O’Neil Grant, 28, of Brampton, and 25-year-old Sandra Clarke face drug trafficking charges. Durham motorcycle cops have blessing of Scugog Island First Nation SCUGOG ISLAND -- The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation have wished Durham’s motorcycle officers a safe summer season. Slowly circling around each of the four bikes parked in a grassy field, elder Harold Ashkewe used a feather to waft smoke towards the two-wheeled machines during a special smudging ceremony on Monday morning. Two of the Durham police force’s three motorcycles were included in the ceremony; a pair of bikes used by the Ontario Provincial Police was also blessed. The four officers standing beside the motorcycles, all dressed in formal uniforms and sport- ing riding gloves and boots, were also smudged. The smudging ceremony is used to drive away bad spirits, feelings or influences and provide good luck. “The idea is get rid of the negativity and provide purification and ensure these officers on motorcycles have a safe journey,” said Leona Charles, a First Nation elder, at the start of the smudging ceremony. Constable Al Ouellette brought the idea of smudging back to the Durham force after he first encountered a ceremony in 2010 while riding through Montana. The Durham cop was on a week-long trip to tour Native American reserves with the Blue Knights International Motorcycle Club, a non-profit organization made up of active and retired police officers, when the group rumbled into the Crow Reserve in Pyre. There, Elder Billy Big Day performed a smudging ceremony to protect the cop convoy. police briefs 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 • Ju n e 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 5 P www.protegedancecompany.comEmail:info@protegedancecompany.com PROT ÉGÉ DANCE COMPANYCOMEDANCEWITH USTHIS SUMMER!!

Annual contribution put to use on area infrastructure improvements PICKERING -- Funding from Canada’s Gas Tax Fund is being used to com- plete infrastructure projects throughout Pickering. In 2011, the City of Pickering used $1.1 million of its annual gas tax allocation to enhance community energy systems, improve local roads and bridges, and repair sidewalks. The remainder of the funding will be applied to environmen- tally sustainable infrastructure projects and priorities. “Infrastructure investments are an important driver of economic growth and job creation in Canada,” said Corne- liu Chisu, MP for Pickering–Scarborough East. “Thanks to Canada’s Gas Tax Fund, the City of Pickering -- and municipali- ties across the country -- can continue to count on our government for stable, annual funding to support local infra- structure needs.” Canada’s Gas Tax Fund provides sta- ble, long-term funding to local govern- ments to help build and revitalize pub- lic infrastructure. The program primarily supports capital projects such as local roads, water treatment, public transit, community energy systems and waste management infrastructure that lead to cleaner air, cleaner water or reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In Decem- ber 2011, the federal government passed legislation that made the Gas Tax Fund a permanent annual investment of $2 bil- lion per year. “I thank the Government of Canada for its ongoing support of Pickering and its sister municipalities,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. “Municipalities are the backbone of this great nation. By investing in our infrastructure, we are building a stronger Canada.” The federal government provides $746 million in funding annually for munici- pal infrastructure in Ontario through the Gas Tax Fund. Gas Tax funding for the City of Pickering for 2010 through 2014 is $10,777,723. 1-866-873-9945 www.welcomewagon.ca IfYou Are...

But there are two things I really like about summer: the golf and ribfests all around Durham. This past weekend was the Clarington ribfest and since it was just a short walk from my house, it was a must event for my wife and me and a few neighbours. The George Thorogood tribute band, Bad to the Bone, only added to the enjoyment. They played until the lights went out in the park then played a little more. The area was packed, the weather was great and every- one was having a great time. But not all about the event was positive. It was amazing to me how many teenagers were walking around smoking. Now that I’m 50, almost anyone under the age of 25 looks like a teenager to me. They drank and smoked, danced and smoked, ate ribs and smoked and spat and smoked. The spitting bothered me almost as much as the smoking. At one table in front of us, four teens sat and smoked one cig- arette after another. Everything I have read and heard lately was that teens are smoking less and less these days. The impact of gross photos on the cartons, higher prices and hiding the packages at stores was working, I believed. That wasn’t evident to me on Friday night. Even in large groups of teens, there was at least one or two smoking. Then when they were done, they would throw the butts on the grass or the baseball infield and sometimes step on them and sometimes not. I know we can’t regulate everything in life, and there is no way the rib organizers can ban smoking inside the gates but surely these young people have read enough about smoking to know how dangerous it is. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is sorry he had the baked beans with his ribs Friday night. Ribs weren’t the only thing smoking... If anything was made clear in a recent Ontario-wide examination of school fund- raising by the Metroland Media Group, it’s that something has to change. Some school communities, such as those in south Oshawa, struggle to raise money for basic amenities, while others in more affluent cities enjoy some of the best extras for their students that money can buy. And, depending on the school, there is an alarming gap in fundraisers -- and fund- raising requests or donations -- not only for student amenities such as a new out- door playgrounds, but, in some schools, for basic classroom necessities. It all raises vital questions currently being debated in school communities, among advocacy groups and everyday parents, about the methods in which the provin- cial government can address the inequality that exists. Clearly, something has to be done. In Oshawa, for example, one parent was surprised to receive a note at the beginning of the school year seeking donations of Kleenex and glue. Another Oshawa school official, in an e-mail to Durham District School Board staff seeking financial assis- tance to help construct a playground at her school, noted that children at the school play on concrete and have nothing but a few basketball nets to use when outside. Two compelling themes emerge that demand action from government and school boards. The first is that the Ontario government must define the materials, activities and programs which constitute the basic sta- ples of a classroom and must fund each school in the province equally on an annu- al basis. The second is that government, school communities and school boards, while recognizing that socio-economic dispari- ties will always exist, must work together to ensure that the poorest school communi- ties are not left behind. To that end, renewed discussion and examination of the options available -- some do exist -- must take place in the near future. For example, the Coalition Against Public School Inequality has suggested a cap on school fundraising, in which a portion of each school’s fundraising totals above the cap is deposited in an equalization fund for poorer schools. Another option, though unpalatable in today’s difficult fiscal cli- mate, is to raise property taxes to pay for extras, as suggested by People for Educa- tion. There has also been discussion about top fundraising schools to share best prac- tices with less successful schools to help them raise more. It’s true that the best schools offer stu- dents something far beyond bricks and mortar, new playground equipment or other extras. But there’s also something to be said for education fairness and equality, from east to west and north to south. Top 10 List Tent trailer sales: A window into our future? I’m starting to wonder if there’s not some kind of ominous biblical message currently afoot that most of us have been missing. I’ve scanned the Book of Revelations, The writings of Nostradamus and my Archie collection and I don’t see any literal references to this, but I can’t help but feel there must be some kind of vital importance attached to the staggering number of tent trailers for sale. Surely you’ve noticed too? One cannot drive a block, it seems, without bumping into some form of canvas and metal pop-up contraption with a black and orange ‘For Sale’ sign tacked to it. There must be something to this. Something we’re not seeing. Why are all these people trying to dump tent trail- ers faster than Leaf playoff tickets? ‘Oh come on. It’s noth- ing’, I can hear some of you scoffing. ‘A coincidence is all’. ‘You’re seeing problems where none exist.’ I might buy that if it were only a handful of these occurrences, and I’ll be the first to admit I was dead wrong on that ‘Blue boxes at the end of driveways mean ‘Swingers’ live there’ screw-up, but take a look around you, folks. There are thousands of these things clogging up driveways everywhere. The jig is clearly up. I’m just mystified as to what said ‘jig’ might be? It seems innocuous, I know, it’s only tent trailers after all, but isn’t that how all the world’s great catastrophes have started? With little things? “Hey, is it just me or has anybody else noticed more ash in the air lately? That can’t be good.” “Suck it up, buttercup. What’s a little ash in the air? Now come on, I got a nine o’clock tee off on Vesuvius.” “Hey, is it just me or has anybody else noticed more people sneezing lately? That couldn’t be Spanish Flu, could it?” “Take it easy, Breezy. What’s a little sneezing? And what are you worrying about, you’re not Span- ish.” “Hey, is it just me or has anybody else noticed that cargo ship loaded with munitions burning in Halifax harbour lately? That can’t be safe.” “Take a pill, Bill. Even if it did explode, the concussion would never reach ...” See where I’m going with this? You just never know about this stuff. And what are all those people flogging tent trail- ers hip to that the rest of us aren’t? Could it be that for all these years, RV and trailer parks were not jut cozy meccas for weenie roasts, campfires and rousing rounds of Kumbaya but were, in fact, secret brain trusts for the Illuminati? Is it possible that the real signposts to the end of the world are not and have never been hidden in the holy books, but were instead right under our noses all the time in Merle Haggard lyrics, Dolly Parton films and re-runs of Dukes of Hazzard? Will the four horse- men of the Apocalypse arrive not mounted on snorting stallions but behind the wheel of a ’69 Dodge Charger?? Holy irony, Batman. Finally and per- haps most disturbingly, where are all of the thou- sands of dollars recouped from the sale of these trailers being funneled? I’ve no idea but I did hear a rumour of a secret cache of baked beans, pecan pie and lawn darts in a huge vault underneath Graceland. A clandestine larder for the end times? Well, I’m not taking any chances. I’m going out today to price pickup trucks. Just to be doubly safe I think I’ll try and find one with a Confederate flag in the back window. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Tamara Hogel Mendonca: This topic brings back thoughts to the french/mahaffy videos of paul bernardo. No one should see video but a court and a par- dons board 20 yrs from now! Janet Drumm Martin: I change the radio station when they talk about him, I certainly won’t be watching any video! Petra Scholz: I thought they’ve taken that video off the net.

It might shock you but this is the truth: In Ontario if someone decides to marry someone on ODSP they are not allowed to save for thier retirement. That means just because some in the Dur- ham Region marries someone with a disability who is on ODSP the Ontario Government forbids them from opening an RRSP. This is sad as it deters some from considering a relationship with someone simply because they have a disability and are recieiving income support from ODSP. Punishment for marriage maybe? So how is this practice acceptable? Truth is the general public doesn’t really know too much about this. I was actually talk- ing to a financial representative at a local bank about this issue and they were suprised the Ontario Governement doesn’t allow peo- ple who marry someone on ODSP to save for their retirement. I wish our local MPP would stand up and do something about this. I really can’t believe that this type of discrimination is allowed against those who marry someone with a disability and even worse this is fully supported by the Ontario Government. -- Brad Miller Oshawa F ather’s Day Gift Ideas 1.

The school will be hosting a fundrais- ing barbecue on Thursday, June 14 to raise funds for the SickKids Foundation and Camp Ooch, a SickKids-sponsored camp program for children living with cancer. “There are a couple students within our school who have been supported by SickKids and Camp Ooch,” said Anita Meuller, chairwoman of the School Community Council. “We want to teach the children about the importance of supporting a great cause, being involved and giving back within the community.” The event is being held in honour of Meagan Roger, 12, who died in March after a battle with cancer. While the school community is still grieving, it’s taking action by raising funds in her memory for Camp Ooch, which provid- ed fun and support during her struggle. Another student at the school has also received excellent care from SickKids during his struggle with the rare disor- der ADL, a fatal condition that causes the loss of neurological abilities. “Virtually everyone knows somebody or has been affected personally in some way by SickKids,” Ms. Meuller said. “This is the most active barbecue we’ve ever had, with the most number of volunteers. It’s a great event and a great opportunity for everyone to celebrate the life of Meagan and for the kids to start to recognize how much value there is in supporting the community.” This is the first year the annual school barbecue will be open to the public, and the first year organizers are raising funds for something other than school needs. The event will coincide with a visit from a representative of Free the Children, who will be speaking to students about the importance of being engaged and giving back to the community. The barbecue will be held Thursday, June 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Frenchman’s Bay Public School, 920 Oklahoma Dr. In addition to delicious barbecue, activi- ties will include karaoke, aerobics, face painting, arts and crafts, soccer.

The best way to end the Ontario school system’s reliance on fundrais- ing is to pour more money into pub- lic education, say parents, teachers and critics. “We are getting increasingly (to be) a two- tiered education system,” says NDP educa- tion critic Peter Tabuns. “That speaks to the need for adequate funding of the education system so parents don’t feel compelled to raise money.” Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, shows that concerns about overuse of fundraising -- and the disparities it creates -- are growing province-wide. Potential solutions also include a proposal by the advocacy group People for Education, which wants a provincial Equity in Education grant created to reduce inequities triggered by fundraising. School boards are pushing for an evaluation of provincial education fund- ing to determine whether the current model is fair to all students. “The pressure to fundraise will only grow as boards try to meet the austerity measures of provincial governments,” says Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “We can’t go to our par- ent councils or school councils and keep ask- ing for money.” There’s no question money is tight. The McGuinty government is starting consulta- tions this fall to cut $10 million from school board administration budgets by 2013-14. Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod says there is a lot of waste in the system and boards don’t always spend their funding appropriately. “They’ll claim they have no money, but are they managing the money effectively?” she asks. Some groups, including Social Plan- ning Toronto, believe fundraising should be banned outright, except for raising dollars for external charities. “I’d rather not have it,” says Chris Ellis, who sits on four school councils in Ottawa. “I’d like for schools to not be able to raise funds for their own use so then parents in those afflu- ent areas might become involved and speak up for greater funding for the education sys- tem.” The Coalition Against Public School Inequality suggests a cap on school fund- raising. A percentage of each school’s prof- its above and beyond the limit would go into an equalization fund to help disadvantaged schools. But the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations says a limit would be too restrictive. “We actually don’t want somebody to say you have to stop here. It’s up to the parents to decide how much they want to do or whether they’ve had enough,” says Lee Gowers, presi- dent of the group. Raising property taxes would be a contro- versial solution, but “that’s how you address inequity, unpopularly, through taxes,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education. “At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want our kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.” Critics say the Province should outline exactly what materials, activities and pro- grams should be available -- at no cost to parents -- in all Ontario schools. Currently, it’s OK to raise funds for library books, gym equipment and musical instruments. “You need to start with the policy and the vision and laying out concretely what should be there in schools,” says Ms. Kidder. “Then you start talking about how you fund it to ensure it’s fair and equitable.” There is also interest in a board-wide men- torship program where successful fundraising schools partner with those that need a hand, helping to reduce the gap in funds raised. “To me, that’s how successful fundraising can be done, really sharing the best practic- es,” says parent Roxanne Horwitz, who sits on the St. Bernadette Catholic School council in Ajax. Education foundations across the prov- ince continue to play a role, helping to reduce inequities in opportunity between well- off and disadvantaged schools. There is no severe pressure on schools to raise funds for things such as field trips because many foun- dations will cover those costs. “Having a central education foundation completely changes the landscape for chil- dren in a city,” says Jane Fulton, executive director of the Education Foundation of Otta- wa. “We make sure that no student is left out.” Small businesses and large corporations continue to work to bridge the gap by provid- ing donations and incentive programs. “That’s what we are counting on, businesses in the community,” says Luce Paradis, princi- pal at Assumption Catholic School in Ottawa. The school is located in a low-income area and doesn’t usually host fundraisers. Without corporate donations, it wouldn’t be able to reach its goal of $50,000 for a new play struc- ture. “We have to outsource a little bit.” The Campbell’s Labels For Education pro- gram, for example, invites schools to col- lect labels from Campbell’s products, such as soup cans and Goldfish crackers, and redeem them for educational resources from books to gym equipment. A number of other companies, such as Chapters, Boston Pizza and McDonald’s, host special events that encourage parents to purchase their prod- ucts and then give a portion of sales back to local schools. Others, such as the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, believe businesses don’t belong in public schools. “We cannot become shills for corpora- tions,” says Durham ETFO local president Gerard O’Neill. “That’s not what we should be doing. We should be giving them an edu- cation.” Page 6 - today’s editorial Watch the video story Read the rest of the series @ durhamregion.com Schools can’t keep turning to parents Jason liebreGts / metroland aJaX -- Patrick Gummer, Brittney King and tamera del-angel followed some zumba moves during a family fun night at terry Fox Public School.‘‘At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want our kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.’ Annie Kidder, People for Education Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 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 • Ju n e 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 11 P l o c a l b r e a k i n g n e w s , s p o r t s , p h o t o s , v i d e o a n d w e a t h e r : a l l d a y , e v e r y d a y >> The club, located at the East Shore Community Centre, offers activi- ties including pool, cards, bingo, carpet bowling, shuffleboard, pickle ball, table tennis and events such as monthly dances. It cur- rently has more than 800 mem- bers and is fast outgrowing its cur- rent facility. In November Mr. Simp- son approached council about space constraints at East Shore. In response, council voted to set aside $150,000 annually in a reserve account to fund a future facility. “That felt good,” Mr. Simpson said of the commitment from council, noting it’s one of the leg- acies he’ll be most proud to leave behind when he steps down as president at the end of this term, along with working with the City to expand that centre’s parking area. “Nothing was done until this year so that made me feel good that I was able to do it,” he said. Other things Mr. Simpson has added to the senior centre include teaming with a local pharma- cy to have monthly blood pres- sure clinics and bringing in an RN twice monthly for foot care clin- ics. Despite all his hard work, Mr. Simpson was surprised to learn he had been chosen as Senior of the Year. “It was kind of a shock, I don’t know why they picked me,” he said. “I don’t know that I deserve it any more than any of my board mem- bers, some of them have been on the board for 10 or 15 years. And nothing would get done around here without our dedicated volun- teers, they are absolutely essen- tial.” Notice of Liquor Licence Application The following establishment has applied to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a liquor licence under the Liquor Licence Act: Application for a Sales Licence XPLICIT NIGHTCLUB (To be known as:NEXX NIGHT CLUB AND LOUNGE) 88-90 HARWOOD AVENUE SOUTH AJAX (Indoor and outdoor area) Any resident of the municipality may make a written submission as to whether the issuance of the licence is in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents.Submissions must be received no later than July 6,2012.Please include your name,address and telephone number.

The Study consists of three projects: 1.Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g.watermains,sewers,pumping stations, reservoirs); 2.Tr ansportation (e.g.roads,bridges,cycling paths/lanes and sidewalks in Regional road rights-of-way)and Tr ansit Infrastructure;and 3.Service facilities (e.g.works yard). The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineer s Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document (October 2000,as amended in 2007).The Environmental Assessment for the Study will also be fulfilling the requirements of both the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA)and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). The three projects that form part of the Study must meet different Schedules under the Class EA process,as follows: 1.Schedule B –Water and wastewater infrastructure 2.&3.Schedule C –Tr ansportation infrastructure,and service facilities Ontario Infrastructure &Lands Corporation (OILC)Class EA OILC,formerly Ontario Realty Corp.(ORC),has landholdings within the study area;these landholdings are identified on the key map (locations are approximate).These lands may be considered for disposition (e.g.,easements or transfers for the construction of infrastructure)based on the preferred solution(s)recommended in the Class EA Study. The portion of the projects proposed within OILC lands are also being assessed in accordance with the requirements of the OILC Class EA Process for Realty (Non-Electricity Projects). Public Information Centre (PIC)No.2 All interested stakeholders are invited to provide input pertaining to the three projects.PIC No.2 will provide an opportunity for interested stakeholders to review an evaluation of the alternatives,the recommended alternatives (alignments,sites),and next steps,and to provide feedback concerning the study.The PIC will consist of an informal drop-in centre with display boards.Representatives from both the Region of Durham and the consultant,GENIVAR,will be present to answer questions and discuss the study progression to date. Project information can be viewed on the Durham Region website,www.durham.ca/cdeap,or the City of Pickering’s Seaton Community website, www.pickering.ca/en/cityhall/services.asp. We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns you may have related to this Class EA.Comments will be maintained for reference throughout the project and will become part of the public record.Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Pr ivacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act,unless otherwise stated in the submission,any personal information such as name,address,telephone number and property location included in a submission will become part of the public record files for this matter and will be released,if requested,to any person.For further information,or if you are unable to attend the public information centre and wish to provide your comments,please contact one of the following: Mr.Donald Yu ,P.Eng.

Students can get their pass at participating municipal recreation centres, Durham Family YMCA and Durham College/UOIT Cam- pus Ice Centre until Aug. 31. “Children and youth need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity, such as swimming or skating, each day,” says Stefanie Antony, a public health nurse with Durham Region health depart- ment. “However, results released in 2011 from the Canadian Health Measures Survey show that 93 per cent of Canadian children and youth are not meeting this guide- line.” To get their pass, students must provide proof of their address and date of birth. Students registering in the town- ships of Uxbridge and Scugog must also bring a current one-inch by one-and-a-half inch size photo. For more information about the Grade 5 Action Pass, call Durham Health Connection Line at 1-800- 841-2729 or visit durham.ca.

I don’t know why they picked me.’ Dave Simpson Father’s Day is right around the corner and that means many children, spouses and other family members will be scrambling to locate the perfect gifts for the men in their lives. Put away those coupons for neckties and remote control caddies. There’s a good chance Dad wants something a little less cliché and more in tune with his interests. If you think carefully about gift ideas, there’s bound to be something that will be a perfect fit.Sports If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefire bet for success. Team jerseys, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded satellite dish or cable TV sports programming package are some gift ideas that will coordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.Personalized Gifts Personalized gifts can show that special man in your life that you care about him in a special way. Instead of a run- of-the-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date or sentiment right on the gift itself. Think about giving Dad a personalized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat.Fit for Foodies As the adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinary- themed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit. If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.Gear Heads Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks. If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite hand- wash, auto-detailing centre. Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.Techies Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virus-detection software or think the technological gadgets sold in those specialty magazines and mall stores are must-haves.

Struggling to find that winning for- mula, the Major Series Lacrosse team is inching closer to coming out on the right end of the score at game’s end. Two weekend games were good examples, falling 9-6 to the Peterborough Lakers at the Ajax Community Centre on Friday, then 10-9 in Six Nations on Saturday. Although they don’t have anything to show in terms of points for their open- ing five games, the last two were bet- ter than the first three. GM/head coach Clem D’Orazio is encouraged by what he is seeing. “We’re putting together more minutes of a game, the whole 60, it’s now coming down to execution,” he said. “Guys are executing against us when we make mis- takes, now we have to start capitalizing on their mistakes. “I’m definitely seeing growth and improvement every single game that we’ve been together. The boys have bought into everything that we have preached as a coaching staff. If we keep doing it and we start seeing success, it’s a bonus, and if we don’t see any success we are going to have to be adaptable and try and change things up.” Against Peterborough, the Rock had to battle back the whole night, falling behind 3-0 before making it 3-2 on a pair of Kiel Donahue goals to close out the period. They were behind 6-3 by the end of the second and 8-3 five minutes into the third before fighting back in the 9-6 loss. Donahue completed his hat trick in the third for the Rock, while Jesse Guerin scored twice on the night with a single to Alex Crepinsek. The following night in Six Nations, a goal by the home side late in the third period stood as the winner, as the Rock came up a goal short in a 10-9 loss. Down 9-6 in the third period, the Rock rallied with three in a row over a four- minute span to tie it with 7:55 remaining in the third period. But Rhys Duch, with his third goal and fifth point of the night, scored for Six Nations with just 5:30 left in the game. “We’re right there and it proved that on Saturday,” said D’Orazio. “We didn’t have much rest and we went into Six Nations, with arguably one of the best lineups in the league, and we played with them almost the whole 60 minutes.” Guerin scored three times and added two assists, while Connor Daly scored twice for the Rock. Adding singles were Kiel Donahue, Brendan Muise, Bill McLean and Branden Collins. With the next game Thursday in Brampton, D’Orazio is content with the current lineup, but would welcome another offensive weapon if one was available. “I like what we have. I’d like to continue to build on what we have,” he said. “If we can find something to help give us that offensive jump, then we’ll take it. Until then we are going to try and build with the guys we have.” >BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com Rock still seek first win JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Branden Collins of the Ajax Rock keeps the ball out of the reach of Shawn Evans of the Peterborough Lakers during Major Series Lacrosse league action at the Ajax Community Centre. One 2 Watch Yakura earns two golds, bronze MONCTON, NEW BRUNSWICK -- More than 300 badminton athletes from all over the country, including Pickering’s Nyl Yaku- ra, competed at the 2012 Yonex Canadian nationals junior and U23 championships in Moncton, NB. Yakura competed in the U19 boys’ doubles (with Joshua Hurlburt-Yu of Markham) and mixed doubles (with Qufei Chen of Ottawa), and in the U23 in men’s singles. This is Yaku- ra’s last season playing in the junior circuit as he is entering the open senior circuit next season, although he has been competing in the open/senior circuit for the last three years to gain experience. In boys’ doubles, the pair didn’t face any difficulties in the first few rounds, until the semifinals against a pair from BC (Matt Downtown and Sam Dunner), but managed to win 17-21, 21-18, 21-18. In the finals they defeated another pair from BC, Benny Lin/ Duncan Yao 21-10, 23-21. In the quarter-finals of mixed doubles, Yakura/Chen beat the No. 1 seeds Nathan Osborne/Josephine Wu of Alberta, 21-17, 21-11, and then beat a pair from Toronto, Andrew Wilkinn/Jody Chen, in the semifinals 21-15, 13-21, 21-17. The finals were against his club mates Joshua Hurlburt-Yu/Brittney Tam, going to three sets with Yakura/Chen coming out on top 21-15, 13-21, 21-17. In men’s singles, although Yakura was still eligible to play in the U19, he chose to play in the U23, where competition is significant- ly higher. Yakura started to face challenges in the quarter-finals against Andrew Harri- son of Manitoba, managing to pull through 19-21, 24-22 and 21-19. In the semifinals Yakura faced Martin Giuffre of Alberta. Giuf- fre just won the national university champi- onships and will be going to Korea to repre- sent Canada. Yakura lost the match 21-14, 21-17, settling for bronze. His next events are the Canadian Open in Richmond, BC, and the US Open in Orange County, both in July. 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 • Ju n e 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP MONCTON -- Nyl Yakura won three med- als at the Canadian championships. 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 • Ju n e 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP 4.5cu.ft. $548 WASHER 1000Watt Built-In Water Heater,Sensi-CareTM Washsystem,1300RPMSpin Speed $798 #076489 51" 1080pFULLHD ·600Hz ·2HDMIPLASMATV #074643 JUNE 13, 2012 We dnesday Flyers Carrier of the We ek If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

While that gives them a base from which to work, the task could be a daunting one. If Gloucester (6-11-0), two points ahead of the Ironheads (5-11-0) for the eighth and final playoff spot, win in Nepean (2-16-0) on Wednesday night, the Ironheads would have to get five of six points in the final three games just to have a chance. The nod would go to Gloucester in the case of a tie in the stand- ings, as they hold the tiebreaker based on a 7-6 win in Ajax on May 13. Gloucester clos- es out the season with games Friday against Akwesasne (17-1-0) and Saturday against Kahnawake (8-9-0). If the Ironheads have to run the table, they will need to beat the Green Gaels (13-1-2) on Thursday in Clarington, Mississauga (3-13- 0) Sunday and Orillia (1-14-0) Tuesday, both at the Ajax Community Centre. “I guess it’s going to be nice to know that this is what we have to do,” said head coach Ron Reed in looking at the final three games of the regular season. “It’s disappointing that we have put ourselves in this position. I like to think that we are a better team than our record shows, but this is where we have put ourselves.” The Ironheads didn’t gain any ground over the weekend, losing 17-6 in Oakville on Sat- urday, and 15-5 at home to the Green Gaels on Sunday at the Ajax Community Centre. Both games had a similar start, with the Ironheads jumping out to a 2-0 lead, but they also finished the same way, with double-dig- it losses. The undoing of the Ironheads came in the second period of both games. Down 4-3 after the first period in Oakville on Saturday, the Ironheads were outscored 10-3 in the middle period. Trailing 5-2 on their home floor Sun- day against the Green Gaels, the Ironheads were blanked 5-0 in the second period. A lack of consistency from the start to the end of games has been a nemesis for the Ironheads throughout the season, said Reed. “We can’t seem to figure out what we are doing wrong in the second period. We come out and take a beating in the second peri- od and subsequently we play a pretty good third. “We haven’t been able to play a consistent 60 minutes of lacrosse this year. We’ve dis- cussed it, talked about it among ourselves and the team, and we can’t seem to find a solution for it.” George Jimas led the Ironhead goal-scor- ers in Oakville with a pair, while James Mal- loy, Dakota Watson, Julian Garritano and Adam Kelusky had one each. Garritano and Kelusky each had a pair in the loss to the Green Gaels, with one by Jimas. The Iron- heads were outshot in both games, 62-37 in Oakville and 68-39 by the Green Gaels. Sunday’s home game against Mississauga is a 2 p.m. start, while Tuesday’s regular sea- son finale goes at 8 p.m. Ironheads in danger of missing playoffs> Jason Liebregts / MetroLand Dust up on the diamond WHITBY -- Archbishop Denis O’Connor Secondary School’s Tyler Evans slid into sec- ond base as Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School’s Josh Canadinha tried to make the play in Tier 2 boys’ baseball action at Iroquois Park.
