Work began the week of Jan. 21 on the installation of additional sirens in a three-kilometre area around the Pickering nuclear generating station. The additional sirens are required in order to meet provincial standards for sound levels for the alerting sys- tem, which is designed to warn resi- dents, indoors or outdoors, in the event of a nuclear emergency at either the Pickering or Darlington nuclear sta- tions. For additional information, including siren locations, visit www.durham.ca/ demo and click on the public alerting project tab or call the information line at 1-866-551-5373. > Preschooler programs at Pickering Library PICKERING -- Parents can choose from a variety of programming to entertain preschoolers this winter at the Pickering Public Library.

Money will be used to deliver environmental programs DURHAM -- Durham Sustain Ability has secured a grant for $202,300, funds which will be used to deliver a variety of educa- tional programs across Durham Region. The funds, courtesy of the Ontario Tril- lium Foundation, will be used to deliv- er environmental education and urban agricultural programs and empower res- idents, and youth particularly, to take a more sustainable approach to their daily lifestyles. The programs will run over a period of three years in partnership with the Dur- ham Land Stewardship Council. “This grant is an investment in the Region of Durham’s environmental future,” said Carlie McDonald, sustainable communities program manager for Dur- ham Sustain Ability. “We will be able to expand the reach of our environmental programs, with a huge focus on getting Durham’s youth involved in deciding what those programs will look like.” Durham Sustain Ability is an environ- mental not-for-profit and social enter- prise that supports individuals, organiza- tions and communities on the path to a sustainable future. For more information or to get involved, contact Ms. McDonald by e-mail at car- lie@sustain-ability.ca or visit www.sus- tain-ability.ca. 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 3 AP 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 * Credit equal to the value of the HST.

LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >> Durham Sustain Ability secures new funding through Trillium grant> FO L L O W O U R T W I T T E R F E E D A T N E W S D U R H A M I once tried to see how long I could go in a day without reading. I didn’t last long. The cereal box at breakfast did me in. My attempt was part of a literacy campaign, encour- aging people to try to go a day without reading. The idea was it’s impossible, showing how hard it is to get by for someone who can’t read properly. Promoting literacy for everyone is what Family Literacy Day is all about. It’s happening Jan. 27 and is run by ABC Life Literacy Canada to raise awareness of the importance of read- ing and other literacy activ- ities for families. So pick up a book, a magazine, a newspaper, a comic, even a board game and read together, not just on Jan. 27 but on a regular basis. You’ll find it benefits both kids and adults. You can find out more here: http://abclifeliteracy. ca/fld/family-literacy-day and look under events for local programs. Another red-letter day for reading is Feb. 14. That’s when lovers of words in Durham Region will find out what book Durham’s libraries have chosen for the 2013 edition of Pass The Book. You can find the short list at http://www. passthebook.ca. This year’s the book will be non-fic- tion. I’ve not read any of the books on the list so it’ll be interesting to see what I’ll be reading this year. Through this program, libraries encourage every- one to read the chosen book, pass it on to others and discuss. Each library will hold special programs based on the book. Whitby Public Library will have its own red-let- ter day this winter as it receives not one but three awards at the Ontar- io Library Association’s annual Super Conference in Toronto. CEO Ian Ross gets an award for outstand- ing leadership while dedi- cated volunteer Jane Hilton will be honoured for out- standing leadership on the library board. And Whitby Archives, located in the central library, picks up an award for its historic photo digiti- zation project. Congratula- tions to all involved. I had my own red-letter day this month. On Jan. 14, I made good on my New Year’s reading resolution. I finally finished Paris 1919, a book I started well over a year ago. It’s an excellent book and one that deserved my full attention, instead of being picked up and put down constantly. Christy Chase is a copy editor at Metroland Media Group Durham Region Division.

I work down on the south end of Liver- pool Road. This is a beautiful waterfront area and I am at a loss for words as to how the resi- dents who take advantage of this beauty to walk their dogs can continuously fail to pick up after them. A minimum of three times a week there is a “present” at the front door of my office which needs to be picked up. During the summer one can frequently see people walking their children having to dodge the dog waste on the sidewalk and boardwalk. Please, if you own a dog, pick up after it. It is not mine or anyone else’s responsibility to pick up after your pet. What kind of image are we setting for the people who visit from out of town? Debbi Smith Pickering Just how ‘green’ is bicycle friendly initiative in Ajax? To the editor: Re: ‘Ajax has gone over the top’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Dec. 3, 2012. It’s appalling how much time and money is spent in Ajax on ‘bicycle friendly’ initia- tives. But, how much is too much? Any gov- ernment service like this should be driven by need and usage. If the Town decided to build a swimming pool and hardly anyone used it, they would be run out of office for wasting tax dollars. The need has to be determined for these ‘nice-to-haves’. Was that done in Ajax with regard to bicy- cle friendly initiatives? By the usage I see on a daily basis, if it was done, it was done incorrectly. One concrete way to determine the need is to require every person over the age of 16 to purchase a bicycle licence annually. The Town could then set a budget limit on bicycle-friendly initiatives, providing the Town a way to justify these expenses while not over-burdening non-users. This would put them on a level playing field with many other Town residents that have to pay a share of the cost to use of Town facilities through user fees. I am not a bicycle commuter. I can’t get to Mississauga efficiently by bicycle. But I do ride a bicycle in the sum- mer for pleasure and would be happy to purchase a licence, so I’m sure other riders would too. I still question the need to replace per- fectly good road signs with new ones with bicycle logos. And with all the carbon used to create the signs, install them, manufacture the paint for the street logos and lanes, the effort to paint and the printing that is done for pro- motion, I wonder just how ‘green’ this ini- tiative really is. Patrick Heron Ajax McGuinty wiped out democracy To the editor: When the McGuinty government flexed its muscles and imposed contracts on teachers using Bill 115, the government effectively wiped out democracy in Cana- da. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time the Ontario government has forced a con- tract on a group of employees that is not employed by them! Teachers are employed by municipalities, like Toronto, Peel Region, York Region, Durham Region, etc. Since when can a provincial government step in say, “If you two cannot play in the sandbox nicely, we’ll make you play nicely, except by our rules and not yours.” This entire issue has left me speechless. Why didn’t the government simply suggest both sides got to arbitration? My final com- ment is this. If McGuinty’s government does in fact repeal Bill 115, doesn’t that make anything that happened under Bill 115 null and void? Aren’t these imposed contracts now void of any legality? I think so. It’s no different than if the government repealed the sec- tion of the Highway Traffic Act that prohib- its you from driving through a red light. If they repealed that section of the HTA then we would all be allowed to drive through them, right?

An Ajax couple is doing just that, spon- soring five children through Christian Children’s Fund of Canada. Jeff Hogan is its vice-president of finance and corporate services and he and his wife, Alison, were recently in Paraguay to meet one of their sponsor children, four- year-old Maria. Sponsored children receive health care, education, food and more. CCFC works with governments, non-profit groups and people in developing countries to bolster children, their families and their commu- nities. Fair to say there’s no substitute for see- ing a place to understand what it’s like. The Hogans visited Maria’s small town, Escobar, where they met the child and her family. Maria has three sisters and the small family dwelling is made of plywood with a tin roof. Maria’s mother is out the door at 4 a.m. to help her family by milk- ing cows, returning to send her children to school. Her father and eldest sister work at a farm. The Hogans in 2010 went to Ghana to meet Rafihatu Tahidu, who they have sponsored since 2001. Her dream of becoming a community nurse has begun to take shape thanks to the Hogans’ spon- sorship. Many of us are well-meaning and donate to various charities. And while we are generally aware of what the money will be used for, once it is out of our hands we lose track of the impact it has. Simi- larly, while we know about the challenges people in many parts of the world face, we don’t have a sense of what’s happening on the ground, what an individual or a fam- ily’s specific needs are. The Hogans have seen first-hand how their support and sponsorship has and is helping. It no doubt reinforces for them the work they are doing and makes them excellent CCFC ambassadors. We’ve said it before, but it never gets old: despite the economic and other seri- ous problems many of us deal with, we are wealthy compared to most who share our planet. We might complain about the price of a car we want while, across the planet, someone is taking a 10-mile walk- ing trip to access drinking water. With just a little of our help, thousands of children around the world can better themselves and their communities.

Proceeds raised from the event are passed along to hospitals in Durham Region and the City of Kawartha Lakes and used to pro- mote breast cancer awareness, provide sup- port programs for breast cancer survivors and raise funds for diagnosis and treatment at local medical facilities. The festival is open to participants of all ages and genders. Teams compete for med- als in various divisions as they paddle in numerous heats and races. Teams that reg- ister by Feb. 28 will receive extra incentives, including priority booking for practises. All teams must be registered by March 31.

Thousands of racing pigeons killed in Pickering fire Barn and shed destroyed in early morning fire Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A wood stove is the suspected cause of an early morning barn fire in Pickering that killed 4,000 rac- ing pigeons. The blaze, at 1050 Hwy. 7, destroyed both the barn and a nearby shed, but firefighters were able to save the home on the property. “The resident had been using a really old wood-burning stove to heat the barn, to keep the temperature up for the pigeons, and we suspect that’s where it started,” said Steve Fowlds, fire inspector with Pickering Fire Services. “The entire barn was destroyed as well as a nearby shed.” He said the pigeons were part of a hobby farm, not a business. In addition to the flames, fire- fighters faced challenges posed by frigid winter temperatures. Because the fire was on a rural property without hydrants, firefighters had to take care to leave hoses at a trickle to pre- vent them from freezing up while tanker trucks went back and forth to area hydrants to deliver more water. “The firefighters were get- ting very cold being outside all night in this weather but they’re tough guys, they’re used to it, so we managed,” Mr. Fowlds said. “There was a lot of ice, a lot of slipping and ice on equipment and that made it more difficult, but it’s all part of fighting a fire in winter, so we’re used to it.” The number of fires, espe- cially house fires, goes up in the colder months as activi- ties move indoors and people put heating apparatus to use, including fireplaces, wood stoves and electric heaters. “Ontario statistics show fires are more prevalent in winter months, mostly because every- one’s inside and there’s a lot of activities and of course heating equipment is more commonly used,” Mr. Fowlds explained. He reminds residents to be aware of heating safety, noting that all chimneys and fireplaces, including wood-burning stoves, must be inspected annually by a WETT-certified technician, and recommends residents use fire screens around fireplaces to prevent sparks from escap- ing. All homes are also required to have working smoke alarms on every floor and outside sleep- ing areas. Any homeowner who can- not install or test smoke alarms due to age, physical limitations or can’t afford to purchase a smoke alarm or batteries can call the Fire Prevention office at 905-839-9968 for assistance.

JAN. 26 th Sentencing in Keagan Davis’s death to take place Feb. 22 JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Convicted child killer Michael Monck- ton continues to protest his innocence, his lawyer said as a sentencing hearing continued Wednesday in Oshawa. Defence lawyer Ray Boggs urged Superior Court Justice Alex Sosna to impose the minimum 10-year term of parole ineligibility on Mr. Monckton, who was found guilty in November of second-degree murder and assault causing bodily harm in the death of two-year-old Keagan Davis. “Ten years is no small time,” said Mr. Boggs, who described Mr. Monckton, 29, as a strong candidate for rehabilitation. “The character of Mr. Monckton, I submit, is very high,” he said. “This is a matter of import, that we don’t just lock people up and throw away the key and say good riddance.” The Crown has called for a parole ineligibility peri- od of 15 years. The muscular Mr. Monckton, a construction work- er from Port Hope, sat silent and stoic throughout Wednesday morning’s hearing. He faces an auto- matic life sentence for his second-degree murder conviction. Justice Sosna will rule in February how long he is to be imprisoned before he can apply for parole. During a trial last fall jurors heard that Keagan was alone with Mr. Monckton, his mother’s live-in boy- friend, in their east Oshawa apartment on the morn- ing of Jan. 5, 2010, the day he died. An autopsy the next day revealed a staggering array of injuries. Jurors heard that while the cause of death was determined to be abdominal trauma caused by repeated forceful blows, Keagan had also sustained broken ribs and fingers, blunt force contusions to his scalp, cracked vertebrae and extensive bruising. Court heard the injuries were inflicted in the min- utes, hours, days and weeks before his death. The Crown contended that the timeline for the injuries coincided with Mr. Monckton’s involvement in Kea- gan’s life. When he was interrogated by Durham police Mr. Monckton vigorously denied harming Keagan. And he continues to proclaim his innocence, Mr. Boggs said Wednesday. Mr. Boggs said Mr. Monckton’s refusal to accept responsibility shouldn’t result in a harsher sen- tence. “He is allowed to maintain his innocence,” the law- yer said. Justice Sosna is to rule on sentencing Feb. 22. news Advertiser 905 579-4400 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 11 AP Authorized Bobcat Dealer PROUDLY SERVING THE DURHAM REGION 905.404.9990 www.bobcatofdurhameast.com Bobcat®and the Bobcat logo are registered trademarks of Bobcat Company in the United States and various other countries.

Police searching for suspects after Ajax robberies AJAX -- Police are investigating wheth- er two street robberies are related after two groups of teenagers were robbed within one hour in Ajax. Both incidents occurred on Jan. 17, beginning around 3:40 p.m. when two 17-year-old males walking southbound on a pathway north of Clements Road near Harwood Avenue were attacked from behind and pushed to the ground by four masked males. The men punched and kneed the vic- tims and demanded their cellphones, and fled westbound towards Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hospital after one victim handed his cellphone over. Just after 4 p.m., five 13-year-old boys were walking on a pathway between homes on Plowman Drive, in the area of Kingston Road West and Westney Road South, when they were approached from behind and one victim was grabbed and tackled to the ground. The victims were then asked for their cellphones. Three of the attackers searched the victims for wanted items while the other two hung back. One victim was assaulted and another was pushed into a fence, police said. Two cellphones, an MP3 player and a digital camera were taken before the group of suspects fled. In the first incident, the suspects were all described as black males, 16 to 17 years old, about five feet seven inches tall, with skinny builds and all had ski masks covering their faces. One of the suspects was described as wearing a black sweater with a red- striped hood and black sweatpants, another was wearing a black puffy jack- et, black pants and a black backpack and another was wearing a white and grey winter coat. In the second incident, one of the sus- pects was described as a black male, six feet tall and about 160 pounds with short black hair. He was wearing grey skinny jeans, a black hooded spring jacket and black gloves. A second suspect was described as a black male, five feet eight inches tall and about 130 pounds with short black hair, wearing a maroon winter vest, black pants and a black ski mask. The remaining two suspects were described only as black males. Police say it’s unclear whether the two incidents are related and investigations are still continuing.

If you are like many of those who attend my retirement planning semi- nars, your answer is prob- ably “both.” While you are likely look- ing forward to giving up the daily grind, you might not be sure what you are going to do during your retire- ment or if you are going to be able to afford it.

Finally, with Valen- tine’s Day just around the corner, I thought it would be timely to discuss how couples with different atti- tudes towards money can come to a middle ground to achieve financial suc- cess.

MARGARET CARNEY F rigid as it is to work in the yard, be sure to keep your feeders filled! Birds need extra fuel to keep warm as we plunge into a deep freeze to temperatures we haven’t felt for a few winters now. My husband heard a dozen or so northern car- dinals chipping when he was out feeding the birds at dawn the other day and commented that not one of them had likely experienced such cold so far in its lifetime. First recorded in Dur- ham Region in 1927, cardinals have been slowly expanding their range northward, with a female coming to a feeder in Cochrane this summer. I can’t help but wonder how an extended bout of bitter weather will affect them. Given their relatively short wings, they’re not strong flyers and don’t migrate. But they have a number of cold-coping strategies. Like chicka- dees, nuthatches, winter finches and other song- birds adapted to northern climes, cardinals grow about 25 per cent more feathers in winter, are able to shiver to help keep warm, and fluff up their feathers to trap warm air against their skin, for surprisingly effective thermal insulation. Cardinals always visit feeders last thing in the day, stoking up their furnaces to get through the long winter darkness. Plus their body tempera- ture drops several degrees at night, allowing them to conserve energy. They don’t huddle together in tree hollows for warmth as some birds do, but roost low in dense conifers, out of the wind, and choose sheltered microclimates by day. That’s why so many are found in Durham’s creek val- leys. This time of year cardinals gather together in loose flocks, where many eyes looking for food, and scanning for house cats, hawks and other dangers, help conserve each individual’s energy -- an advantage that flocking up provides. Ken and Irene Perrier phoned to tell me about six male cardinals at one time in their yard near Hampton recently, a remarkable sight, all those bright red birds against the snowy greyness of winter. I’ve often noticed more male cardinals at our feeder than females. They visit one at a time, chasing each other away. Apparently there’s an order of dominance they recognize and respond to. Male cardinals are strongly territorial, defend- ing specific breeding areas aggressively as soon as winter retreats. Many readers have report- ed cardinals attacking windows over and over, where they see their reflection and try to chase away the perceived intruder. The cardinals’ loud “cheer, cheer, cheer!” is one of the first wel- come songs of spring. Pairs are monogamous, often mat- ing for life, and raising three to four broods a year. Adults may still be feed- ing their last batch of fledglings when they undergo their autumn molt, growing those all-important new feathers that will keep them warm through winter.

The rescue dogs in the care of the Animal Guardian Society certainly did the trick for me when they visited Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology on Blue Monday. These dogs, rescues from high-kill shelters in Durham and beyond, were in the Student Centre lounge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help de-stress the students and brighten their moods. It’s safe to say it worked for the reporter who went along to cover the story too. The idea of having dogs come out to university and col- lege campuses has been on the rise, and when some staff members at the Oshawa campus got wind of it, they thought, why not try it out there? The flock of students was never-ending. Kathy Asling, TAGS founder and director, said some of the little dogs barely even touched the floor because they were being passed around so much. One student I spoke with was so enamored with one of the dogs that he left for class and came back afterward to cuddle with him some more. Derek Fullerton, Durham College and UOIT vice-presi- dent of student life, was extremely pleased with the turn- out and said he would like to make it happen on a regular basis. Fingers crossed for the students that this comes true because I would have loved that opportunity when I was at school. The thing that amazed me most is how well these dogs were interacting with the students, strangers they had never met before. These dogs were on death row at various high-kill animal shelters in the past, and only they truly know what type of life they had before finding the comfort of TAGS, yet here they were, ready and willing for human affection. This shows the great work TAGS does to rehabilitate these dogs. These dogs would make wonderful pets. The adoption fee is $345 and that includes spay or neuter, vaccines, a microchip, 30-day health coverage and an eight-week training course. TAGS has cats available too. Visit animal- guardian.org. Durham dogs cheer up my blues RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Sandhya Sandhanan, a chemical lab technician student at Durham College, took a picture of herself with Biscotti, a hound-spaniel mix, at the stu- dent centre lounge Jan. 21. FAST FACTS Fundraiser On Saturday, Jan. 26, a microchip clinic will be held at Paws and Claws, 250 Taunton Rd. E., Oshawa (corner of Ritson and Taun- ton roads) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s $30 for a microchip, and nail trims are an extra $5. All dogs and cats are welcome (dogs must be leashed). All proceeds will support Storm’s Animal Allies. Call 905- 720-0640. Declawing is a procedure that is done in cats in which the claws are removed. This is almost always done for the sole purpose of preventing a cat from scratching in the home. Most people think that the procedure involves removing the nail only; however the surgery actually entails amputation of the last bone in all ten dig- its. Today declawing has actually been banned in many countries. As this is a painful surgery, cats will often spend a few days in hospital after the procedure, & will require long term pain medica- tions post-operatively. Cats must also remain indoors only once the claws are removed. Alternatives to declawing include Ask the Vet: What is declawing?Written by Dr. Melanie Dell http:// www.veterinarypartner.com scratching posts, frequent nail trims, Soft Paws (vinyl nail covers which prevents damage from scratching), & behavioural modification. For more advice on managing your cat’s nails, please contact your veterinarian. 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP Mike Ruta - Entertainment Editor • mruta@durhamregion.com Editorial OpinionsWhat’s On RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PHOTOS Life is a Cabaret for Ajacians!

With the Nazi party just gathering power, it was a tumultuous time in Germany but, for a while, the arts flourished. The music of Caba- ret, by John Kander and Fred Ebb, was writ- ten as a tribute to the innovation and daring of the composers, writers and performers of the era. Cabaret is about these people, their sto- ries, and their tremendous spirit.” Tickets: whitbytheatre.org, Lafontaine, 100 Brock St. S., Whitby.

Herongate Barn Theatre pres- ents the Neil Simon comedy Jan. 25 to March 16. “Mel and Edna are a middle- class, middle-aged, middle-hap- py couple living in a Manhattan highrise apartment building,” states the website. “Mel loses his job, the apartment is robbed, Edna gets a job, Mel loses his mind, Edna loses her job ... to say nothing of the more minor tribu- lations of nosy neighbours, help- ful relatives and exact bus fares. The couple suffers indignity after indignity (some self-inflicted) and when they seem on the verge of surrender, they thumb their noses defiantly and dig the trenches for battle.” The cast features Marion Reid Clark of Bowmanville, Chris Cole of Toronto, Kelly Ann Moss and Rose Green of Pickering, Barba- ra Clifford of Whitby and Grant Evans of Scugog.

Learn to belly dance SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Obtains academic scholarship, plays on varsity rugby team at Bowling Green BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Mitchell Sora went to Bowling Green University for the aca- demics, and just happened to pick up the athletics while he was there. The Pickering resident was home for the holidays, taking a well-deserved break from his studies and commit- ment to the rugby team at Ohio-based school. While his academic venture can already be deemed a success, having gained entry into the President’s Leader- ship Academy, he was equally success- ful on the pitch, helping lead his team to the national championship tournament in 7s, and the pending national champi- onship tournament in 15s in the spring. “It was a tough adjustment from high school to university to change how I would work,” says the Dunbarton grad- uate of the first couple of months of his freshman year. “It took me a while to fig- ure out how to do all the school work, on top of the leadership stuff, but I’ve got into a good rhythm.” The four-year leadership scholar- ship engages students in such things as classes, workshops and community ser- vice activities, with each year building on the completion of the previous one. Using the experience he gained play- ing rugby for three years at Dunbarton and with the Ajax Wanderers, as well as a year with the provincial U18 program, Sora has played just about every posi- tion at the university level. The 15s team went a perfect 8-0 in league play to become the MAC cham- pions, scoring 459 points while allowing 101. Their high-octane offence never scored less than 37 points in a game. They await the national championship tournament slated for April. The 7s team also had a successful run. With much of the emphasis on the 15s, Bowling Green didn’t have a lot of preparation time for 7s, but managed to place second in one tournament, and gained an at-large bid for the nation- al championships in Texas. Unranked going in, the Falcons placed 18th over- all. “It’s way higher than I played before,” says Sora, 18, of the calibre of rugby played at the Division I AA level. “It was a tough adjustment, but once I got the hang of it, it was enjoyable instead of a struggle.” Studying sports management, Sora hopes to enter the field of sports jour- nalism, or become a sports agent upon graduation.‘‘It was a tough adjustment from high school to university to change how I would work.’ Mitchell Sora >Sora a student/athlete SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Mitchell Sora is on an academic scholarship at Bowling Green University, and plays rugby on the varsity team. Sports Briefs Ryan Daniels named OUA Male Athlete of the Week WATERLOO -- Ryan Daniels of Pickering had a spectacular week for the red-hot Wilfrid Laurier men’s hockey team who earned upset victories over nationally ranked Western as well as Wind- sor. His efforts earned him the nod as the Pio- neer Energy OUA Male Athlete of the Week. Against the OUA’s top team, Daniels turned aside all 36 shots he faced as Laurier ended No. 2 Western’s 15-game winning streak with a 2-0 win. He followed that up with a 43-save perfor- mance against the second place team in the OUA West division as the Hawks defeated the Lancers 2-1. He finished the weekend stopping 79 of 80 shots for a .988 save percentage while posting a 0.50 goals-against average, and has been crucial in the Hawks rise up the OUA West standings as they have won five of their last six games. The 24 year old is in his fourth season at Laurier, and was a fifth round draft choice of the Ottawa Senators in 2006. He played his OHL hockey with the Saginaw Spirit and Peterbor- ough Peters. He also played 36 games of Tier II junior with the Pickering Panthers. ESN Packaging wraps up another win AJAX -- ESN increased their first-place lead in the Ajax Men’s Basketball League with a con- vincing 59-21 trouncing of Dickson’s Printing. ESN jumped out to a 29-10 halftime lead and maintained that pace for the rest of the game. Balanced scoring was the key as all six players contributed. Stephen Johnston led the way with 14 while teammates Gregg McGuire and Calvin Simon added 11 each. Robert Clarke once again was top scorer for Dickson’s with 13. Second place Top Shelf was upset by The Right Step 58-46. Billy Jack and Ian David tallied 21 and 16 respectively in the win. Ravi Persad kept things close with 24 for the Shelf. In the final game North Alliance Press kept up their recent win streak with a solid 64-52 win over Michael’s Eatery. Sherwin James had 17, Dan Deveau 14 and Alan Gomes 13 for NAP. Claude Whitfield had a game high 24 for Michael’s. Roy Bailey added 13. Duquesne’s Wumi Agunbiade named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- After averag- ing 23.0 points per game and shooting 60.6 per cent from the floor, Duquesne’s Wumi Agunbiade has been named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week. The junior forward from Ajax, who earned her third all-time POW award, scored 23 points on 10-of-19 shooting in Duquesne’s 68-41 win over Saint Louis. She scored 23 points on 10-of- 14 shooting against Temple in Sunday’s 65-45 victory. Agunbiade, a six-foot-two forward, is in her junior season with the Dukes. The Dunbarton graduate is a psychology major. 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 23 AP 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP Ajax Tuesday, January 29, 6pm-8pm Ajax Community Centre, HMS Ajax Room S 75 Centennial Road, Ajax, ON L1S 4S4 Oshawa Thursday, February 7, 6pm-8pm Jubilee Pavilion Banquet & Conference Centre 55 Lakeview Park Ave, Oshawa ON L1J 7Z9 Please join us at one of two Public Roundtable meetings to learn more about Metrolinx’s plan to improve transportation in the region. 1.

At the first club test day, she passed the final ice dance tests required to achieve her gold dance STARSkate test level. In addition to passing her junior silver freeskate test, both preliminary and bronze interpretive tests, and gold skills STARSkate test, she is well on her way to her goal of earning gold in all four Skate Canada STARSkate pillars (freeskate, skills, dance, interpretive) and diamond dance before her 16th birthday. Cleland, 14, a Pickering resident, has been skating since she was three years old. In addition to skat- ing with the Ajax Skating Club three times a week, she also volunteers with the Ajax Rising Stars Special Olympics skating program and as a program assistant with the Ajax Skating Club. She attends Grade 9 at Dunbarton High School. Cleland hopes to become a figure skating coach one day so that she can share her love of skating with younger skaters, and hopefully vol- unteer as an assistant coach at the next Special Olympics Ontario pro- vincial games. Her best skating memory is of sharing the ice with Kurt Browning, Shae-Lynne Bourne and Gary Bea- com during summer skating at the Granite Club. Cleland adds that she enjoys working with her new coach this year, Sherri Desroches, and appre- ciates how much she has improved as a skater under her guidance. She also credits her ice dance coach Derek Brittan for helping her achieve her gold ice dance level.Tayler Cleland Attack 18U wins silver WELLAND -- Durham Attack’s 18U girls’ team played in its first OVA tournament of the season at Niagara College in Welland. To recap, this team finished a successful season last year with a gold medal win at provincials and a national title at the national championships in Toronto. They were seeded first going into this tournament with the premier teams. The girls started pool play with their first match against Ottawa Mavericks, a team they easily beat at provincials last year. Ottawa came out stronger this year, and Attack lost both sets 25-18. The next match was against the Toronto Diamonds. Attack lost to this team at provincials, but beat them in two sets at nation- als. Unfortunately for Durham, they lost two close sets, 25-21 and 26-24. Having lost against both teams, this put Durham Attack last in their pool, but because they were seeded first, they still advanced, but were given the more difficult route. They were next up against South County Bandits and the Attack took both sets easily, win- ning 25-12 and 25-16. The gold medal match put the Attack against the Eclipse East from Toronto. The Attack came up short in three sets 23-25, 27-25 and 9-15. Still, a great start to the season with a silver medal. The coach is Kevin Hellyer and his team includes Anna Aguayo, Jaime Fryer, Ashley Hart, Julie Longman, Olivia Michaud, Nicole Mironov, Paige O’Leary, Lay- ton Risto, Callan Rolfe-Hughes, Caitlyn Tam, Kristine Yan and Michelle Yu. x KINGSTON RD.E/HWY 2 HWY 401 WI C K S D R .

The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.
