The annual award honours those who demonstrate excel- lence in management and lead- ership. “He came to our school last year and right from day one we just noticed a huge change. The atmosphere at Dunbar was hap- pier,” said Ms. Efthimiades. The students were quick to sing his praises. “He’s just overall great,” said Marissa Efthimiades, Grade 8. “He helps you with anything. He gives you excellent advice. I don’t see him just as a principal, I see him as a friend too.” Grade 8 student Julia Najdovs- ki says her principal will always help his students solve prob- lems. “I think one of the best things is that no matter how busy he is, he can always take some time,” she said. Hannah Dossa, Grade 5, said Mr. Rizzuto will even use his personal time to attend various awards ceremonies to support his students. “I think he does make a differ- ence in the school,” he said. Mr. Rizzuto was “deeply hum- bled” to receive the award. The principal looks forward to the opportunity that comes with the award that will have him attend the University of Toron- to’s Rotman School of Manage- ment, where he will discuss management issues with other leaders from the education and business sectors. “It’s a great thing what they’re doing with building on pub- lic education, and providing an opportunity for leaders to enhance their influence on edu- cation and the way they do the job,” he said. His favourite aspect of his pro- fession is “probably a communi- ty coming together for the ben- efit of kids -- working together to have kids engaged at school, motivated at school.” He said while it can be a bit of a challenge having a large school population with varying opinions coming together, he sees it as more of an opportuni- ty than anything else. Read ‘Five questions’ with Tony Rizzuto @ durhamregion.com PICKeRING from page 1 Mike O’Neill recognized Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It’s no secret that Mike O’Neill loves his job. In fact, the principal at St. Mon- ica Catholic School is loved just as much; he’s been named one of Canada’s Outstanding Principals. “I was completely honoured by the distinction,” he said. The award, presented annually by The Learning Partnership, recog- nizes 51 exceptional educators who demonstrate excellence in manage- ment and leadership. Mr. O’Neill thanks the school community for helping him reach the achievement. “At the end of the day, I’m a teach- er at heart,” he said. “I’m no differ- ent than any of the other staff mem- bers at St Monica’s. They’re the ones that make my vision come to life.” Mr. O’Neill enjoys making con- nections with the kids each day, and being able to keep a sense of inquisitiveness by doing so. “My favourite part is it keeps me young, and it keeps you grounded into what life is all about,” he said. He says the biggest challenge a principal faces is maintaining stu- dent wellbeing and student engage- ment in the face of a disconnected world. He does his best to create empa- thy, and ground the children in the important things in life, such as friendship, love and respect. Mr. O’Neill looks forward to attending University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, as part of the award, where he will dis- cuss management issues with other leaders from the educational and business sectors. “All the ideas I’ve gotten, I’ve got- ten from all the leaders in the past that I’ve worked under,” he said. He’s also learned a lot from his father, a retired principal. “To be able to tell him (about the award) was one of the greatest moments of my life because he was so proud of me,” he said.

I too was flabbergasted by Judge De Filippis’s remarks. Sounds to me as if the judge was more sympathetic to these crim- inals than the victims. And you can be sure the money is hidden away. They did have others working with them, don’t forget. What was confiscated by the authorities and what was the value? It is no wonder Canada is known as the “sucker country”. There should be further investigation into the financial affairs of these criminals and they should be made to pay back the money they stole from innocent people. Marjorie Seymour Pickering Police must sometimes be ‘above the law’ so they can do their jobs To the editor: Re: Durham police officers above the law? letter to the editor, Jan. 28 durhamregion. com The off-duty cop was speeding at 189 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. Francis Kier- nicki feels that this should not be happen- ing. Let’s examine this. A lot of coppers have scanners in their personal cars. Suppose that an emergen- cy happened at the Durham police station west of Port Perry. Now, if the speeder was coming up south to Myrtle on Hwy. 12, should he drop down to 50 km/h just because the sign says to? There is no such person as an off duty policeman. They are considered to be on duty at all times. A bank gets robbed in Port Perry. The rob- bers take off at high speed, trying to get to the 401. Their speed is 98 km/h in Port Perry. If the chasing police officers come to a 30 km/h zone, should they forget about the robbers and let them get away, strictly due to not going over the posted speed of 30 km/h? As to the question being asked if the police are above the law, they have to keep the chase on (if the situation permits at no danger.) At times, yes, they are above the law. They have to be in order to do their job. I like my Durham coppers just fine, just as they are now. Phillip J. Dawson Oshawa New premier was imposed on province To the editor: I suppose that it’s the way the game is legally played, done according to the pre- vailing rules, but we have a new premier to govern us in this province and yet had nothing whatsoever to say about the mat- ter. At a meeting, the provincial Liberals selected their new leader who automati- cally morphed into the new premier and we were completely excluded from the process. Kathleen Wynne was even referred to in some circles as the ‘people’s choice.’ Which people, those at the convention? In similar circumstances, it would hap- pen regardless of which party held power but I think that it’s a serious flaw in the system and accordingly needs changing because it’s anything but democratic. It’s not unreasonable to believe that many of the voters who saw fit to vote for the Liberals with Dalton McGuinty as lead- er would not necessarily opt for the same party with Ms. Wynne at the helm. She has been imposed on us, like it or not.

Among those, several Durham Region ele- mentary schools ranked high in the annual study (Oshawa’s S.J. Phillips was ranked 88th in Ontario), but there is still room for signifi- cant improvement in others (Oshawa’s Ger- trude Colpus was ranked 2,699th). These are not meaningless numbers, nor is the exercise frivolous. Indeed, the data gleaned from the annual report helps edu- cators determine where there are learn- ing challenges, where there are learning strengths and, even in cases where a school community performed well in standardized testing, where improvements can continue to be made. The Fraser Institute’s Peter Cowley noted last weekend the report shows that all schools are capable of improvement regard- less of personal or family challenges con- fronted in specific communities, whether in south Oshawa or north Durham. Those views were echoed by Durham public school board superintendent Luigia Ayotte, who said the board has already begun pre- liminary work in gauging areas where there is room for improvement. Much can be learned from schools that have enjoyed a measure of success, but so too can lessons be taken from those that ranked considerably lower, all with a view to introducing best practices, adopting suc- cessful teaching strategies and monitoring outcomes good and bad. The report helps provide Durham educators with a blueprint of sorts to assist educators and parents in determining and prioritizing learning strat- egies over the next year. The Fraser undertaking saw the organi- zation rate more than 2,700 public, Catho- lic and Francophone elementary schools based on nine academic indicators using results from annual standardized province- wide tests of reading, writhing and math administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office. As such, the data is current, accurate and measurable. Parents across Durham Region are encouraged to visit and compare results at www.compareschoolrankings.org to see how their child or children’s school has fared, not necessarily to consider alternative school communities, but with a view to par- ticipating in the discussions and helping to shape any changes, to promote continuous learning and to stake a claim in improve- ments. These report rankings are important, and help identify areas of academic strength and areas where improvement is not only expected but required. Durham educators share a common goal: preparing young stu- dents for the future. They will share ideas, successful programs and workable strategies that promote aca- demic strength. With parents as partners, new achieve- ments can be reached. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 6 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 7 AP Friday, February 22 to Sunday, February 2475% women’s clearance: fashion, sunglasses, intimates, hosiery, slippers, sleepwear, robes and accessories.

Stars and celebrities create a buzz long before they come, and it lingers long after they leave. I love hearing people talking in grocery stores or restaurants: who has tickets, who’s going, and what do we wear to the big show? Already this winter, big Canadian acts Blue Rodeo and the Tragically Hip gave fabulous concerts at the Gen- eral Motors Centre in downtown Oshawa. The next big name to come is Molly Johnson, one of my favou- rite Canadian jazz singers, who plays the Regent The- atre on March 9. This Juno-award winner has played for the Prince and late Princess of Wales, Nelson Mandela and Quincy Jones, and also hosts the Saturday morn- ing show on CBC Radio 2. What a treat to be able to see this world-class star in such a warm and intimate atmo- sphere. Another big name coming to our neck of the woods is the Second City. This time-honoured troupe is performing this weekend at the St. Francis Centre in Ajax. Expect favorite sketches from recent productions and classic numbers too. There is never a dull moment Big names call for a big night out in Durham when improv is involved, and these folks are professionals. Expect a great time. When big names come to town, I like to celebrate with a truly memorable night out. It’s a nice chance to head out early with reservations at a local restaurant, and remember to leave room for dessert. Often, independent spots like Stuttering John’s will offer special discounts or deals if you have tickets to a show. After the curtain falls, I’m never in the mood to rush home. Make a special evening last by heading out to a local pub to recap your big night out over some snacks. With so many happy people in one place, it makes for a great after-party at a local pub like Murphy’s or the Thirsty Monk in Oshawa, or Safari Bar and Grill in Ajax. Don’t miss a chance to plan a special date night, or round up friends for a big night out. Be sure to scour the local listings at venues such as General Motors Centre and Regent Theatre in Oshawa, and the St. Francis Centre in Ajax, so you won’t miss a thing. See you there.

As an International Centre of Excellence, and state-of-the- art fitness facility, the Abili- ties Centre in Whitby is making waves as a leader in accessibil- ity. Since opening in June 2012, the centre has developed class- es and workshops that reflect the needs of a growing commu- nity. With the number of Ontar- ians with a disability reach- ing 1.85 million, more Durham Region residents will benefit from inclusive health and well- ness activities. If you don’t have a disabil- ity, there are loads of benefits from inclusive exercise. Recov- er from old injuries or achieve long-standing fitness goals with the help of an integrated com- munity and trained fitness pro- fessionals. The following segments for this series will focus on inclusive health and wellness activities that can lessen stress, increase quality of life and improve your overall health. Learn how tra- ditional fitness exercises are being adapted for different abil- ities, and discover exciting new sports that are taking the fitness world by storm. What to expect: • Yoga is an excellent exam- ple of how fitness can be made adaptable and accessible. With a variety of forms and speeds, the modifications available extend to levels of fitness and flexibility. Participants can expect improved muscle tone, increased range of motion, decrease in spasticity and improved breathing capacity. • One fitness class that can easi- ly be adapted to all fitness levels is spin. Find a comfortable seat- ing position, adjust the tension to your capability, and go at your own rate. A note for begin- ners: the beauty of spin is even if you are the slowest one in the class, you can never fall behind. At the Abilities Centre, we’ve gone one step further to make spin class accessible by offering hand cycle spin bikes. • New and trendy TRX (Total body resistance crosstraining) uses bands and your own body weight as resistance. Sculpt and strengthen using only your body weight, or a fraction of it, in this military-inspired fitness routine. • ParaSport: Let’s face it, not everybody finds weight-lift- ing and cardio machines fun and entertaining, but that’s OK, there are other ways to get in shape. Sports are a fantas- tic alternative for improving your fitness. Parasports such as wheelchair basketball, wheel- chair lacrosse, and sitting vol- leyball challenge your muscles, your stamina, and your hand- eye coordination. Or perhaps, you prefer some- thing less intense? Try boccia or chair curling. • Running is one of the easiest exercises to incorporate into your lifestyle. Whether you jog or run, why not challenge your- self to go the distance this year and try your first marathon... or 5k? Learn to finish the race safe- ly by participating in a running clinic. At the Abilities Centre, we have clinics starting mid- March for 5K, 10K, half and full marathons. • Contrary to popular belief, resistance training can be safe and beneficial for youth -- it improves coordination, increas- es metabolism, and can build self-confidence. To ensure a safe, positive experience, the Abilities Centre has developed a short course (a mix of anato- my, physiology, and practical) for our youth who wish to par- ticipate in strength training. • For anyone who struggles with lung health, respiratory recov- ery programs can make a world of difference in the rehabilita- tion process. Low-impact and monitored cardiovascular exercises re- build lung capacity and can combat symptoms of lung dis- ease such as COPD and emphy- sema. You won’t want to miss this. Learn all about what we have to offer. Stay tuned. Jessica Vreugdenhil is manager, communications and marketing at the Abilities Centre in Whitby.

Area MPs were on hand at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Feb. 20 to celebrate fund- ing for the projects, which will see a new accessible entrance and washrooms at the West Shore Community Centre and improvements to the banquet hall and washrooms at the recre- ation complex. “The City of Pickering contin- ues to grow and we’ll have 60,000 new people coming in the next few years,” said Mayor David Ryan, referring to the planned Seaton development. “It’s important that all the people coming here and all the people here now feel welcome and able to access our facilities. Accessibility is always impor- tant, and it’s always evolving, so it’s important we stay current.” The projects, which will cost just over $1 million to com- plete, are receiving a combined $333,396 from the federal gov- ernment, with the remaining $767,791 to be funded by the City. “Facilities like this are foundations of our communi- ty, they bring families and resi- dents together,” said Ajax-Pick- ering MP Chris Alexander, who secured the funding along with Pickering-Scarborough East MP Corneliu Chisu. “I’m pleased to see community funding provid- ing support to improve existing facilities. Residents can see these improvements and it will make them want to use the facilities even more.” Work at the West shore Com- munity Centre will include installing an accessible entrance with a ramp and railing, rede- signing and installing an upgrad- ed interior entrance space, new energy-efficient lighting controls and fixtures, upgrading existing washroom facilities and con- structing an accessible wash- room. Renovations at the recreation complex will include new ener- gy-efficient lighting controls and fixtures, redesigning, renovating and upgrading washroom facili- ties to the standards of the Acces- sibility for Ontarians with Dis- abilities Act, installation of new flooring, replacing the sound sys- tem and installing a new audio visual system in the facility’s ban- quet hall. Work on the West Shore Com- munity Centre is expected to start in late April and be completed by July, while work at the recreation complex will begin in July and continue through October. Some programming at West Shore may be moved to the Don Beer Memorial Arena during the construction period and the ban- quet hall at the recreation com- plex will be closed during reno- vations. 9 0 5 -5 7 6 -7 6 0 0 1910 Dundas St E Unit 117 Whitby CALL NOW: ✓10 YEARS FACTORY WARRANTY ✓95.5%HIGH-EFFICIENCY GAS FURNACE ✓DC FURNACE BLOWER MOTOR ✓ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT REBATES ✓NO TAX ON FURNACE FILTERS KEEP THEMWARMTHISWINTER HI-EFFICIENCYFURNACE ASLOWAS $2,495* INSTALLEDDIAGNOSTICSERVICE$49* Reg $99 *Call for details,offers cannot be combined,after rebate,O.A.C.

Durham Region Council has decided to go ahead with an almost 50-per cent increase in bus pass- es for high school students. Both the public and Catholic school boards have said they can’t afford that much of an increase, so they’ll transport students on school buses. Durham Region Transit is increas- ing the student monthly pass from the current $49.50 to $74, starting in September. The Catholic board pays the cost for its passes, while the public board passes it on to par- ents. Whitby Catholic board trustee Chris Leahy said the 49.5-per cent increase is “a prohibitive expense on the board that we’re not able to afford. We operate within a funding envelope and without an increase in our funding base, it requires a decrease in other costs.” Unless the Region lowered the increase, the boards would have to end the partnership, Mr. Leahy told Regional Council. Using school buses “isn’t the best option for the community,” he said. When asked if the boards were prepared to approach the Province for extra funding, Mr. Leahy said, “We’re prepared to go and ask, but it’s a pretty strict rule. There are 87 boards in the province and we’re all funded the same.” Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor said in her community, students have been riding school buses and “our kids have all sur- vived.” In the three northern Durham municipalities of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock, students wanting to do extracurriculars have to find their own way home, she added. “Why not in the south?” she asked. “Your argument isn’t fair. We’re already paying for transit we don’t get. Your argument doesn’t hold water.” Ryan Putnam, the Catholic board’s superintendent of business and chief financial officer, said stu- dent riders represent one quarter of all riders on DRT. “I find it hard to imagine we are 25 per cent of the cost.” If a student takes part in an extra- curricular activity and the school board doesn’t provide a ride home, the student would have the option of using a DRT bus, Mr. Putnam said. Mr. Putnam said the school board could afford an increase to $55, adding “we feel we could justify that to the ministry.” Ajax Councillor Shaun Collier questioned why the board didn’t pass the increased costs on to par- ents. Mr. Putnam said under the Edu- cation Act, the board has to pay the full cost or pass the full cost on to parents. It can’t pay a portion and have parents pay the remainder. Mr. Leahy added it’s not the Cath- olic board’s policy to pass on such costs to parents. Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son asked if the board was “pre- pared to walk away from our tran- sit pass, with all-day every-day sev- en-day-a-week passes and put stu- dents on school buses from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s one-third the service.” “If that’s all we can afford, yes,” Mr. Putnam replied. The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York have jointly initiated a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA)to identify the preferred solution for addressing the future capacity limitations of the existing outfall at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (W PCP).The first Public Information Forum (PIF)held in May 2011,provided information on the Class EA process and background information on the study.The second PIF held in June 2012 provided information on the initial screening of alternatives,and the evaluation criteria for assessing the impacts of each alternative.To receive input from interested persons on the evaluation of alternatives and the preliminary preferred solution for addressing outfall capacity limitations,Durham and York Regions will be holding Public Information Forum #3 on the following dates in the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax: Date:Tuesday,Feb.26,2013 Date:Wednesday,Feb.27,2013 Time:Open House from 5 p.m.to 8 p.m.Time:Open House from 5 p.m.to 8 p.m. Formal presentation at 6:30 p.m.Formal presentation at 6:30 p.m. Location:East Shore Community Centre,Location:Banquet Hall,McLean Community Centre Meeting Room #2 95 Magill Drive,Ajax,ON 910 Liverpool Road South,Pickering,ON (Parking lot located at the rear of the building) If you require accommodations to fully participate in this meeting please contact Durham Region at 905-668-7711 ext.3840 with your specific requirements.

Bill Muirhead, associate provost of academic and information tech- nology at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, explained that some person or group had used a fake e-mailer tool (the tool was located in Czechoslovakia) to send spam to each undergraduate student. “UOIT is doing a thorough inves- tigation with our own IT security people,” said Dr. Muirhead, adding they’re also working with Google in an attempt to identify the people behind the incident. He estimates roughly 200 e-mails were sent to each student. Students should not be con- cerned about their privacy, he said. “At no time was the e-mail address of any students exposed in any way,” he said. He also said at no time were the IT infrastructure, personal infor- mation or any personal addresses compromised. Dr. Muirhead added this is some- thing UOIT takes seriously and is investigating to learn how the inci- dent occurred. He apologized for the inconve- nience to the students. Students took to Twitter after noticing the spam. One tweeted a photo of an e-mail entitled “Impor- tant Question for UOIT students” that asked in the body “Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?” Another student said in a video posted on keek.com that one enti- tled “Official declaration” stated “In honour of Queen Elizabeth II, I shall name this day Nicholas Cage Day.” UOIT e-mail system spammed 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 13 AP 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.•Tu es.•Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 www.furnituregalleries.ca *Credit equal to the value of the HST.Not valid on Floor Model Clearance or Best Value items.

Moody’s Investors Service of New York has kept the Triple A rating for Durham. The Region is one of eight Canadian municipalities to have the rating, which is the highest possible. Having the high rating means lower borrowing costs when Durham takes on debt. Moody’s outlined a number of credit strengths, including: sound management practices; using current funds to pay for capital infrastructure projects (there- fore, limiting the amount of debt to be financed); maintaining a low debt burden and strong reserves, in addition to reserve funds; and offering affordable property tax and revenue-based increases. As part of its report, Moody’s also high- lighted the Region’s strong, local, diversi- fied economy as a major strength, specifi- cally continuing industrial diversification, a growing institutional base (including a significantly expanded post-secondary education sector), and notable health- care facilities.

The plan, created by the Central East Local Health Integration Network with input from residents and community health agencies, aims to reduce the time residents spend in care. The four main goals laid out in the plan include: reducing the demand for long- term care so that seniors spend 320,000 more days at home by 2016; continuing to improve residents’ vascular health so they spend 25,000 more days at home by 2016; strengthening the support for people with mental health and addictions issues so they spend 15,000 more days at home by 2016; and increasing the number of palli- ative patients who die at home by choice and spend 12,000 more days in their com- munities by 2016. “Now is the time to put our energy and resources into keeping people healthy and well in the community in order to prevent the need for people to be hospitalized or move into long-term care,” said Deborah Hammons, CEO of the LHIN. The current plan covers 2013 through 2016 and is the third plan released by the LHIN since it began creating integrated health service models in 2007. The plans are revisited and rewritten every three years to tackle health-care needs in the community. Ms. Hammons points to many gains made in local health care over the duration of the last two plans, including reduced emergency department wait times, nurse practitioner teams supporting long-term care homes, specialized services for frail seniors, streamlined access to community- based support services and mental health services and more. “Doctors, nurses, frontline health-care providers and administrators from across the Central East LHIN have worked very hard over the last six years to introduce new programs and services that are mak- ing a difference in the lives of local resi- dents,” she explained. The latest plan was developed with input from local community members and health-care agencies across the region. It provides a road map for Central East LHIN hospitals, long-term care homes, commu- nity health centres, community mental health and addictions agencies, the com- munity care access centre and communi- ty support services to follow as they work together to create an integrated commu- nity-based health care system that can respond to changing demographics, finan- cial challenges, updated clinical practice and new technology.

Driving east on Victoria Street near Thickson Road, among all the box stores, he happened to glance down along Corbett Creek West, a small stream that runs under Hwy. 401 to the Thickson’s Woods Nature Reserve. Near water’s edge, gazing up at him in broad daylight, were what he assumed was a doe and last year’s fawn. They seemed to want to cross the road, to head on north up the watershed. We discussed the possibilities of such large ani- mals passing under the 401 through the culvert. Do highway engineers automatically incorporate wildlife corridors in their plans, to allow safe pas- sage? John and I agreed we’d both check it out. He was also surprised, after the big snowstorm, to find that a white-tailed deer had crossed his yard, leaving unmistakable two-toed prints. Another doe, he surmised, judging by the size. Or maybe the same one, given that he lives about a mile from where he saw the other deer. I thought of the deer tracks I’ve seen since it snowed, evidence of where these often elusive animals are hanging out midwinter. They were particularly thick in a cedar grove beside a marsh, where the deer would be browsing on twigs and needles. More proof of their presence were piles of oval droppings atop the snow. I counted more than a dozen heaps. That many deer, or a few deer spending days there? I determined to keep an eye out. One of the hooved tracks I followed down a local trail was made by exceptionally large feet, so I was sure it was a male. Bucks will have dropped their antlers by now, so it would be hard to tell gender from a fleeting glimpse of one running off through the brush, its white “flag” flashing. Next year’s ant- lers won’t start growing until March or April, when nutritious spring plants and sprouts re-enter the deer’s diet. New antlers are covered with velvet, living tissue that transports calcium and other minerals to the fast-growing structures beneath. Come next September, bucks will be thrashing their racks against saplings, trying to peel off that shredding velvet. But for now, with the autumn rut over, they just focus on finding enough food to get them through winter. Female deer are doing the same, but most are pregnant now, so they’re eating for two, or even three. They gestate their babies for half a year, and come next May or June, in an undis- turbed meadow or thicket, their fawns, usually twins, will be born. White spots on their rusty coats help camouflage newborns, which often lie motion- less, hidden in the underbrush, while their mothers feed. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks. net or 905-725-2116.

Oh deer, there’s plenty of evidence they’re around Support pets in need at Ajax North Pet Hospital KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com I’m no expert in the kitchen, but somehow I manage to throw these great bake sales to support local animals in need. It’s mostly thanks to the help of my col- leagues, friends and especially my mom (who probably secret- ly wishes she never baked me that first cookie that convinced me she’s the best baker I know). They all pitch in to throw amazing bake sales that always garner hundreds of dollars for a local ani- mal charity in need of funds. I’ve learned that sell- ing baked goods is a great way to get people out to support a cause. It’s fun, and who doesn’t want to have a tasty treat in the middle of a long day? Plus, it gives me a great opportunity to tell my colleagues all about the charity we’re raising funds for. And I’m so grateful for my colleagues who support the cause, even the ones who mock me and say they only come out for the food, not the ani- mals. I know they’re only joking, right? On Monday, Feb. 25, you can bake to help animals too. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is asking Canadians to fight animal cruelty with cupcakes that day. The event, which started in Australia, is calling all bakers and animal lovers to hold the first-ever National Cupcake Day in Canada. Everyone is asked to bake their best cupcakes, host a cupcake party, share cupcakes with family, friend and col- leagues, and collect donations all in support of the SPCAs and humane societies across Canada. “This is really a fun, grassroots way to help fight animal cru- elty and make a difference. Everyone loves cupcakes, and they taste even sweeter when you know it’s for a good cause,” said Marc Ralsky, director of community and donor development for the Ontario SPCA. Register and get more information at www.nationalcup- cakeday.ca. Those wishing to purchase some cupcakes on Cupcake Day can visit Ajax North Pet Hospital on Feb. 25. Staff will sell homemade cupcakes (for humans only) for a donation of $1 or more. All donations will go to the humane society. Those who would like a larger number of cupcakes are asked to let the staff know by Feb. 21. The clinic is located at 201 William- son Dr. W., #10, Ajax. Call 905-428-8387 for more informa- tion.

There are several ways that your pet may become infected including: ingestion of eggs in the environment, nursing from a mother cat/dog, eating infected prey, or by puppies prior to birth if the mom is infected. Adult worms may appear as “spaghetti like”worms in your pet’s stool, however their stool may also appear com- pletely normal. Infection can cause diarrhea and/or vomiting. Roundworms are diagnosed by examining a stool sample, & are treated with de-wormers which are given orally. As roundworms can be spread to other family members, including children, Ask the Vet: What are roundworms?Written by Dr. Melanie Dell www.capcvet.org it is very important to have annual fecal testing performed on our pets, as well as routine adminis- tration of broad spectrum dewormers.

Brett Santacona found a willing partner and a venue and is ready to stage the first Brooklin Rock- fest, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Brooklin Community Centre and Library, 8 Vipond Rd., Brooklin. “The purpose is to showcase the talent, the music,” he says. “We’re under 18, 19 (years of age) and we can’t get into the bars and stuff.” Brett, lead singer and guitarist of the band Dog Tagz, notes there was a venue available, namely the community centre. He visited it several times and found the large multi-purpose room was rarely in use. He and the other bands couldn’t afford to rent the room, so they approached the Optimist Club of Brooklin. Invited to speak at a meeting, Brett gave a 30- to 40-minute PowerPoint presentation that wowed the Optimists, who agreed to be the event’s sponsor. Santacona says he would like to hold future Rockfests, possibly at a larger venue such as Luther Vipond Memorial Arena. Brooklin Rockfest is an all-ages, drug-and-alco- hol-free event, also featuring Brooklin bands Under A Tac and Global Prank. All of the bands write and play their own music. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and available from mem- bers of the performing bands, at Michael Kelly’s, 93 Winchester Rd. E., Brooklin, and at the door. Check out the bands online.

Make a choice U Pick the Show in Oshawa: Molly Johnson or Lighthouse? OSHAWA -- Take your pick: Lighthouse or Molly Johnson? A ground-breaking Canadian progressive rock band or a Canadian jazz diva who first made a splash in elementary school? `Our friends at WeRock Entertainment have pro- vided Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division with a pair of tickets to each show. Johnson plays the Regent Theatre in Oshawa on March 9 while Lighthouse per- forms at the theatre on March 15. And we want to send you to the concerts. So, we’re holding a contest, U Pick the Show, where we will randomly draw two names, one for each pair of tickets to the concerts. Entering is easy: just e-mail mruta@durham- region.com, with the subject line ‘U Pick the Show’ and state, ‘I pick Light- house’ or ‘I pick Molly Johnson.’ Be sure to include your name, address and phone num- ber as this con- test is just for Durham Region residents. Lighthouse formed in 1968 in Toronto and the band’s music featured horns and string instru- ments, incorporating a wide range of styles from rock to swing to classical. The band took the Juno Award for Best Canadian Group of the Year in 1972, 1973 and 1974. Lighthouse played the icon- ic Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 and, other than Jimi Hendrix, was the only artist invited to per- form a second night. Pretty impressive when you consider the festival featured The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Chi- cago, Miles Davis and The Who. Fan favourites include the songs One Fine Morning and Pret- ty Lady. The current incarnation of Lighthouse features Whit- by’s Dan Clancy on vocals. Molly Johnson’s career began when she was still in grade school. Toronto producer Ed Mirvish picked Johnson and her brother, Clark Johnson, for Porgy and Bess and she also appeared in the musicals South Pacific, Finian’s Rainbow and others. After fronting a disco band as a teenager, Johnson was lead vocalist for two rock bands in the 1980s and 1990s. Her first, self-titled album in 2000 was followed by Another Day (2003) and Messin’ Around (2006). Lucky (2008) earned her the Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. There will be one winner for each pair of tickets. One (1) winner will receive a pair of tickets to the Lighthouse concert on March 15, 2013 and one (1) winner will receive a pair of tickets to Johnson’s concert on March 9, 2013. Both are at 8 p.m. at the Regent Theatre in Oshawa (approximate retail value of each prize is $90). The contest is open to Durham residents 18 years of age or older as at the start of the contest period. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. To enter the contest, e-mail mruta@ durhamregion.com, subject line ‘U Pick the Show’, dur- ing the contest period (a valid e-mail address will be required). The con- test begins at 6 p.m. 21/02/2013 and ends at 6 p.m. 28/02/2013. The potential win- ner will be chosen by random draw, which will take place at Oshawa This Week at 10 a.m. on 04/03/2013. No purchase required. For complete con- test, details see below/ durhamre- gion.com. DURHAM -- Lighthouse, fronted by Whitby’s Dan Clancy, plays Oshawa’s Regent Theatre on March 15. Enter our contest to win a pair of tickets to the show. P I C K E R I N G P I C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Along with cold weather, winter also brings snow, slush and ice. To keep roads and walkways safe, salt is sprayed to melt the ice and to prevent surfaces from becoming slippery. The problem is, the salt can get into your shoes and you can bring it into your vehicle. If it’s left, it can damage the carpeting and upholstery of your vehicle. That’s why it’s a great idea to bring your vehicle to Diamond Shine to have the salt and stains removed and the fabric protected. After the fabric has been cleaned, a fabric protection is applies, which will help repel stains and salt, preventing damage. The nasty weather can also leave your vehicle very dirty. Before you head towards the nearest drive-through car wash, remember that Diamond Shine is open all year round, and winter is a good time to avoid the local car wash. Winter brings slush, snow and ice cold temperatures. Before you head through the local car wash, remember that the water left on your vehicle will freeze when you get back on the road. Car washes also do not clean their brushes, which means the dirt and debris that was removed from the vehicles ahead of you are now embedded in the brushes that are supposed to be cleaning your car. Not only can this scratch your vehicle, the debris can be transferred to your car. Bring your vehicle into Diamond Shine for a wash, where it will be hand washed and chamois dried, all jambs will be dried and the locks will be blown dry! They have a variety of packages starting at just $19.95. “We want to thank everyone for putting their trust in us for the past 18 years, including both our loyal customers and the many dealers in the area,” says Joanne. Diamond Shine is a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Durham Region since 1994. Diamond Shine is located at 221 Westney Rd. S., in Ajax (just north of Bayly and directly across from the Super 8 Motel). For more information or to book an appointment please call (905) 619- 2899, or visit the website at www.diamondshine. ca. Diamond Shine accepts all major credit cards, including GE Fleet Service Cards, Wheels Inc., PH & H, ARI & Transport Action Fleet Service Cards.

Aussie performers heading to Durham Ringwood Secondary College Performing Arts students here March 6 WHITBY -- Students from down under are coming to Whitby to per- form. The Ringwood Secondary College Performing Arts World Tour is com- ing to Whitby on March 6, its only Canadian stop on a tour that’s also stopping in Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic and other coun- tries. The Melbourne-based school’s students take the stage at Trafalgar Castle School at 7 p.m. “While the cultural exchange is an important part of the experience, the principal reason for the tour is performance,” states a press release. “The Australians will be presenting their self-advised theatrical piece, The Spirit of Melbourne, well over 20 times along the way. All students are required to sing, dance, act and play instruments as they proudly present a lively, fast-paced journey through the history and defining elements of their home city.” Tickets are available online at www.trafalgarcastle.ca. Trafalgar Castle is at 401 Reyn- olds St. (near Garden and Dundas streets).

In the Senior National Elite Series, he has been doing well this season, finishing in the medals a number of times in both singles and doubles, with partner Kevin Li. At the 2013 Yonex Canadian champion- ships, in Gatineau, Quebec, Yakura entered men’s singles and men’s doubles. In the opening round of men’s singles against an opponent from Ontario, after receiv- ing a scare with a 21-13 loss in the opening game, he rallied to win the match 21-19, 21-18. He swept his quarter-finals over an Alberta opponent 21-13, 21-8. In the semifinals he drew the No. 1 seed and defending champion, falling 21-14, 25-23. In the bronze medal game against an opponent from Alberta who was the U23 national champion and Canadian university champion last year, Yakura dropped the first game 23-21, but rallied with wins of 21-6 and 21-12 to earn the bronze medal. The result has Yakura ranked third in the country in the open/senior circuit. In the semifinals with Li, the duo sailed through the competi- tion until the semifinals, where they encountered some difficul- ties against a British Colum- bia team. Yakura and Li won the opener 21-13, but then lost in three sets 21-18 and 21-19. Scheduled to face a Quebec pair in the bronze medal game, Yakura and Li were awarded the podium finish by default. At the athletic banquet, Yakura also received the 2013 Sports- manship Award from Bad- minton Canada. Yakura is planning to go back to Indonesia for inten- sive training for about three months, and come back ready for the 2013 Ottawa International Challenge, June 26-30, then the US Open (July 8-13), and Canadian Open in BC (July 16-20). After those international tournaments, he will go back to Indonesia for more training if possible, depending on finan- cial support. He is a contender for the 2014 PanAm badminton champion- ships (Toronto, October), and the 2015 PanAm Games also in Toronto. GATINEAU, QUEBEC -- At the national badminton championships, Nyl Yakura, far right, won bronze medals in men's singles and men's doubles. Boxer’s record improves to 9-0 QUEBEC -- The wins just keep piling up for Brandon Cook. The Ajax boxer is one short of double digits for his career now after stopping Raul Saiz of Barcelona, Spain, with a TKO in the third round of their fight Saturday night in Gatineau, Quebec. The win improved Cook to 9-0-0 with five knockouts. According to blog.canadianboxiana.com, Cook went after Saiz quickly, pressuring the Spaniard with right uppercuts and persis- tent body work. In round two, Cook kept up the tempo, but Saiz weathered the punches to make it to round three. In the third and final round, Saiz fired back with more consisten- cy, trading shots with Cook in close quarters. Saiz’s punches, how- ever, lacked the power and precision of his Canadian opponent’s. In between the third and fourth rounds, Saiz refused to come out of his corner. Cook, however, wanted a little more time to score the KO, telling Corey Erdman of the Fight Network, “I was just getting started.” GATINEAU, QUEBEC -- Brandon Cook (left) of Ajax improved to 9-0-0 as a professional boxer with a third round TKO over Raul Saiz in Gatineau, Quebec on Saturday. > > Ajax’s Brandon Cook wins third-round TKO 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 22 P Top marks for swim club members at A/B competition Club competes in Etobicoke ETOBICOKE - A total of 57 athletes from Ajax Swimming’s elite, TAG and senior squad hit the water to take part in Etobicoke Swimming’s annual A/B meet, which features two competitive catego- ries.

Event winners were Matthew Baleanu, Chris- tian Celino, Andrea Chelu, Eric Heiderich, Daniel Juhasz, Tommy Ly, Taylor Medeiros, Victoria Puzej and Nicole Shearer.
