SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Volunteer share library proposed for shuttered building MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com WHITEVALE -- Children in the village of Whitevale may soon be enjoying storytime once again as residents work to find a new use for its shuttered library. The library, which closed in December due to declining rev- enue and high capital costs, holds special sentiment for area residents who helped rebuild it in the 1980s after the heritage building had fallen into disrepair. “We gutted it and did a lot of work on it,” said resident Lloyd Thomas. “The community has a real attachment to the library.” Resident Don Anderson, who is leading efforts to reclaim the library in partnership with resident John Duffus, says he would like to see the community run the facility as a volunteer sharing library. “I remember when I first moved to the village and there was always a lot of kids in the library and people reading, some- times you could barely walk in there, that’s what I’d like to rec- reate,” he explained.

And Relay For Life, the annual com- munity fundraiser for the Canadian Can- cer Society, is much more than a one-day event. “We call it Relay 365,” Georgina Dunstan, relay chairwoman in Oshawa, said Satur- day at a launch for the 2013 event. “When you come to relay, you’re hooked for life,” she said. “It’s a passion.” Relay for Life, a significant fundraiser for the cancer society, is international in scale and three events are planned for Durham Region this year: May 31 in Oshawa, June 7 in Uxbridge and June 21 in Clarington. Saturday’s launch, held at the Oshawa Centre, was designed to attract both par- ticipants and volunteers. Speakers ushered spectators through a scaled-down version of the event and cer- emonies that mark celebration of survival, remembrance of victims and the ongoing pledge of participants to keep fighting. “We go through all the moods,” Ms. Dun- stan said. “The relay follows the path of a cancer patient; all the ups and downs.” Among Saturday’s speakers was 17-year- old Sabrina Moreino, a cancer survivor who was diagnosed in October 2009. She said the fight against cancer and her ongoing commitment to events such as Relay For Life have been educational and motivational experiences for herself and her friends. “With all my heart I know this disease that tries so hard to knock us down will one day be a word of the past,” Sabrina told the crowd. She said later she continues to be over- whelmed by the power of the Relay For Life to generate knowledge and hope. “It means a lot to know so many people are trying so hard to get rid of this horrible disease,” she said. “They don’t know how much they help.” Last year’s Relay For Life events in Dur- ham Region saw more than 2,000 partici- pants raise more over $530,000.

On March 9 the boy left his family home near Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue around 6:40 p.m. and got into the family vehicle to retrieve an item. At some point the vehicle’s engine was started and as the boy tried to get out of the vehicle, he fell and was trapped under the front driver’s side tire. Pickering Fire Services freed the boy from under the vehicle. He was taken to a local hospital before being airlifted to a trauma unit in Toron- to. He sustained minor, non-life threaten- ing injuries and is expected to make a full recovery. Members of the Durham Region Police Service’s Traffic Services Branch investi- gated the accident. Anyone with new information is asked to call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5256.

Around 4:40 p.m. on March 9 three youths were robbed of their cash at knifepoint while walking in the area of Valley Farm Road and The Esplanade South in Pickering. Two Ajax teens, aged 16 and 17, have been charged with three counts of robbery with an offensive weapon. One of the teens was also charged with breach of recognizance and use of weapons dangerous in commission of offence. Early the next morn- ing, around 12:55 a.m. on March 10, a 16-year- old boy was attacked at a townhouse complex in the Ritson Road South and Lakeview Park Avenue area of Oshawa. The victim was kicked and punched during an unsuccessful attempt to rob him. The attackers fled the scene but one was quickly caught by police. A second suspect turned himself in on March 11. A 16-year-old male from Oshawa was charged with robbery/theft with violence, uttering threats to cause death/bodily harm, breach of undertaking and breach of probation. A 17-year-old male from Whitby was charged with robbery and failing to comply with probation. Anyone with new information about the Pickering incident is asked to call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2565. Anyone with new information about the Oshawa incident is asked to call Durham police 1-888-579-1520 ext. 3430.

The key is to make it a place where people meet, that’s what I want to keep.” Mr. Anderson, with the backing of the Whitevale and District Resident’s Association, is in talks with the City on the possibility of the community taking over the building. He says the agreement would be similar to an informal arrangement already in place for the Whitevale Community Centre, which the City main- tains and the residents operate. “We will definitely do something to get people in the village access to books, if we have the building we can do more,” Mr. Anderson said. “Once we know what’s happening with the building we can go to the community and come up with a concrete plan.” Stephen Reynolds, director of culture and recreation for the City, says staff will explore options with the community and come back to council with a report that will most likely suggest a new agreement encompassing both the commu- nity centre and library. “We were definitely looking to keep the library as a City building with us maintaining it,” he explained. “This is the first request we’ve had for its use and we’re certainly open to exploring that possibility with the community.” WHITEVALE from page 1 History of Whitevale Library 1Built circa 1900 2 Site of the Standard Bank of Markham until it was purchased in 1925 by the Whitevale Library League for $500. 3 The first librarian was the local blacksmith, Norman Miller, who served as librarian until 1955. 4 Run independently until 1967, when it was incorpo- rated into the Pickering Public Library System. 5 Due to its rural location, the cost to circulate a book at the Whitevale Branch was estimated at $15, com- pared to $3 at the Petticoat Creek Branch. 6 The library board voted to close the branch in December due to declining circulation and high capi- tal costs. Its last day of operation was Dec. 29, 2012. March into nutrition month in Durham DURHAM -- March is Nutrition Month and the Durham Region health department wants resi- dents to take small steps toward healthier eating. “The tips we suggest are not new; they’re meant to remind people that healthy eating is possible by taking small steps over time,” said Adrienne Baltadjian, a public health nutritionist with the Durham health department. She suggests eating one more fruit and vegetable each day. Canada’s Food Guide states that adults require seven to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit daily, while children need four to eight depending on age and gender. A recent survey showed only 31 per cent of residents 18 and over eat vegetables and fruits five or more times a day. Ms. Baltadjian adds that people who eat fruits and vegetables five or more times a day are less likely to develop heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Ajax Mayor Steve Parish is right when he said, “It’s important we get the science of this plant right.” The causes and sources of the large amounts of cladophora (algae) that are coating Ajax’s waterfront during the summer months have not been confirmed, as consultants hired by both the Region and Ajax disagree as to the causes. Before the Region embarks on the 50 per cent expansion of the Duffins Creek water pollution control plant, further studies are essential. Let’s not have another colossal and costly polybutylene pipe connector blunder. Mayor Parish’s request, “to conduct fur- ther studies ahead of the expansion of a sewer plant” is logical.

Perhaps they have, or perhaps they haven’t. Maybe they did not even give you the opportunity to discover a piece of mate- rial, let alone get your nose into it. The free- dom to read what we desire should really be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, it is not. There are censors in all areas of our lives -- protecting us from material and experiences that they deem harmful to society. Many Canadians are unaware of the censorship that happens in our public and school libraries. Freedom to Read is an organization informing us of the age-old issue of censorship and the power we have to take a stand for intellectual freedom. We all have different views. For each opinion, big or small, there is another human being who strongly opposes it. It is ironic, dis- heartening and fascinating that the most commonly banned and challenged books are award winners and classics. Do censors realize the potential reverse psychology their attacks have on literature? If you want to protect your child from con- troversial material, disregard it. Tell them they can’t read something and they will find a way to get their hands on it. Censorship is a nearly inevitable part of life, but it really boils down to the golden rule: treat others as you would have them treat you. Do you want someone to remove your favourite novel from the shelf? No? Then why are you filing a report to remove theirs? We waste too much time finding new things to hate, when really we should be indulging in the depth of the unknown -- finding new things to love. If something on the shelf at the public library makes you uncomfortable, that’s OK. Take a few steps to your right: your favourite new book is waiting for you. For more information visit: www. freedomtoread.ca -- Morgan Coffey is a library and information student studying at Durham College It makes perfect sense that annual Relay For Life events in Durham take place on oval tracks: the loop symbolizes our never- ending quest to find a cure for cancer. Local volunteers and participants turned out in force in Oshawa last Friday to offi- cially launch the 2013 events taking place in Durham -- in Oshawa, Clarington and Uxbridge -- and are busy preparing teams and activities at their respective locations. And Relay For Life has taken root as the premier fundraising event for local chap- ters of the Canadian Cancer Society. Last year’s events, for example, saw more than 17,000 Relay For Life teams combine forces to raise an astonishing $51 million for can- cer research, programs for cancer patients and community outreach and support. From the opening ceremonies to the closing laps, the Relay For Life event allows cancer sufferers, their family members and cancer survivors to truly make an impact, for themselves or on behalf of loved ones claimed by cancer. Life-affirming speeches and raucous cheering sections add to the sense of cel- ebration. The lighting of luminary can- dles at dusk is a visually powerful recog- nition of those whom cancer has claimed and the survivors’ victory laps are a sight to behold. In many ways, the annual Relay For Life event is much, much more than a signature fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society. It allows citizens, families and so many others touched by cancer to share in the fellowship of the day, to openly and positively discuss the disease, its impact on them and the advances being made every day with research. It allows participants to acknowledge those they have lost in an atmosphere of hope and support. Finally, it allows those who have beaten cancer to share their joy and their achievement in a place and at a time not duplicated outside the event. But you don’t have to be a cancer survi- vor or someone who has confronted the disease through family or friends. Local volunteers are always needed and local support can always grow. Take the oppor- tunity to meet inspiring people, to take part in a hugely successful community cel- ebration and to do your part in the ongoing fight against this disease. You’ll be doing something good for your community. You’ll meet some wonder- ful fellow citizens. You’ll help raise money vital to the ongoing progress being made against cancer. Finally, you’ll have a lot of fun. Visit relayforlife.ca for more information.

On Tuesday, March 5, at approximate- ly 5 p.m. security officers at the mall approached a man, because he appeared to be a person known to them who is banned from the premises. When security officers approached the man, he reportedly pointed a firearm in their direction and fled the premises on foot, according to police. No injuries were reported. Responding police officers did not find the man. West Division officers, along with the West Divi- sion Criminal Investiga- tions Bureau, the Tacti- cal Support Unit and the Gun and Gang Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at the sus- pect’s home in Ajax and arrested a man without incident. A gun was not located. Kashane Daley, of Rotherglen Road South in Ajax, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose. The accused was held for a bail hearing. Anyone with new information on the investigation is asked to contact the Gun and Gang Enforcement Unit at 1-888- 579-1520 ext. 5800. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477 (TIPS). Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Durham residents reminded of sun safety during March break Melanie Jacob mjacob@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- March break is fast approach- ing, heralding the start of spring. But more sun could mean more sunburn and the Durham Region health department is cau- tioning residents to take care and practise sun safety. “There’s often a misconception that over-exposure to the sun can only occur in the summer months,” says Feli- cia Onwuemele, a nurse with the health department.

Kevin Walther will also serve two years’ probation following his jail time and be registered as a sex offender, according to court documents. Mr. Walther, 40, of Dyson Road, was arrested in May 2012 after a month-long investigation by Durham police. Mr. Walther engaged in explicit conversations with a person he believed to be a 14-year- old girl, eventually arranging to meet the child. But the chats actually involved undercov- er cops posing as a girl. When Mr. Walther arrived for the arranged meeting, he was arrested. Originally facing charges including lur- ing, invitation to sexual touching and pos- session of child pornography, Mr. Walther pleaded guilty Jan. 31 to a single count of luring. In addition to his jail time and proba- tion, Mr. Walther will be on the national sex offender registry for 20 years, and must provide police with a sample of his DNA. He’s also prohibited from attending at parks, playgrounds and other areas where children might congregate.

The Pickering resident only started seriously considering track in Grade 8 -- her sport before bobsleigh -- but she and her family always stayed active. Each week, on “chore day,” her parents would play music and the family would clean and dance around the house. Ms. Brown spoke at Valley View Public School on March 5 about staying active, and perse- verance, as part of the schools’ Family Fitness Night. “For me, a lot of the lessons that I have learned in life have been lessons that sport has taught me,” she said. When training, and she’d go to bed in pain due to sore muscles, or experienced personal failure, she focused on how much she loved athletics, and the opportunity she had. In 2009, it seemed nothing was going right, and she questioned if she truly wanted to continue with bobsleigh. But she told herself, ‘Who cares if I’m the best? I’m going to be the best Shelley-Ann Brown I can be, mind and body.’ Instead of quitting, she gave her all, showed up early for training, and pushed herself -- she’d squat double her body weight following a four- hour workout. A year later, she was part of the two-woman bobsleigh team that won silver at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. “It was the most compelling story I’ve heard in a long time,” said Valley View parent Barb Broda. Her kids stay active by horseback riding, figure skating, and as a family, they skate and swim, but Ms. Brown’s talk made her want to do more. Cheryl Ford said while her kids are active, “I have no excuses. I should be more active.” Her son Cameron Ford, Grade 8, recently became mind- ful of health and fitness. “I used to sit and play video games all day and I decided that I need a change of lifestyle,” he said. His mother said he now runs every day, and eats better, and the results have been outstanding. The evening, funded by a Parent Reaching Out grant, also featured the Region of Durham’s health department and community food advisors, floor hockey with UOIT Ridge- backs hockey players, and a workout with a local dance art- ist. “It’s something healthy and fun at the same time,” said principal Gary Lew. Ms. Brown encouraged families to get active and healthy together. “Sweat a little bit together,” she said. “Don’t be afraid. It’s awesome.” Shelley-Ann Brown Olympian du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma r c h 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 13 APNO DIPLOMA?NO PROBLEM!

The Generals, second in the East Division, hit the road to visit the first place Bulls, in a showdown of two of the premiere teams in the Eastern Conference. A win by the Bulls would clinch a division title and guarantee them a first or sec- ond seed in the Eastern Confer- ence, relegating the Generals to third. A Generals win would pull them to within two points of the Bulls, making the final two games of the regular season very interesting. Also at stake tonight will be some pride, as the Generals laid an 8-2 beating on the Bulls last time they met on Feb. 3 at the GM Centre. “I’m sure they will be ready for us,” said Generals head coach D . J. Smith. “They can clinch our division with a win. We’re going to go there and do our best. “They’re very good on home ice, so we have to find a way to play better there. We’ll go there, play loose and see what happens.” The Generals are a confident bunch right now, having reeled off seven wins in a row, including road wins of 5-2 in Kingston on Friday and 4-1 in Bramp- ton on Sunday afternoon, kickstarting a stretch of what will be four in a row away from the GM Centre. “We’re really talking about getting ready for the playoffs and playing the right way,” said Smith of what is motivating his team . “You can’t turn the switch on when you get there. We’re playing pretty confident right now, but we’re playing the right way for the most part. “We’re getting some bounces and to win that many games in a row you have to get some luck. We’ve had some solid goaltending as well.” In Kingston, Boone Jenner stepped up with a hat trick to lead the way, while Sun- day in Brampton, Lucas Lessio potted a pair in the victory. Each game it seems to be someone different stepping up, which bodes well for the playoffs, said Smith. “Hopefully in the playoffs that’s what helps us,” he said. “We have three solid scoring lines. You can’t rely on one line to score in this league because if they go gold, you don’t win the games. We’ve been for- tunate that everyone is contributing.” Gens a confident bunch OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals captain Boone Jenner had three goals in a weekend win over Kingston. The Generals are in Belleville tonight. Generals assistant coach Roger Hunt to head up U17 team OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals assis- tant coach and assistant GM, Roger Hunt, has been named head coach of Ontario’s under-17 team through the 2013-15 sea- sons. Hunt is looking forward to the chal- lenge. “It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I accept the head coaching position of Ontario’s under-17 team,” stated Hunt. I am honoured the committee has chosen me and I look forward to leading our under-17 team as we prepare to compete and rep- resent Ontario at the 2014 World Hockey Challenge.” The coaching staff, together with direc- tor of operations Barclay Branch, will be attending the OHL Gold Cup in May 2013. The identification process will conclude with the under-17 provincial camp, which is being held in Oshawa from Aug. 12-18.

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Matthew Robert McFarlane after a courageous and valiant battle with cancer. Son of Mary-Ellen and Michael. Loving brother to Mitchell and Mark. Predeceased by his grandparents Muriel and Carl McFarlane, and Dorothy and Robert Graham. Nephew to Connie and Kevin McFarlane and Cindy and Kevin Spinney. Cousin to Kathleen, Carly and David. Matthew was a devoted son, brother, nephew and cousin to his family and enjoyed nothing more than getting together with his family and friends. Matthew was well known within the Bay Ridges community, a member of Branch 606 of the Royal Canadian Legion and volunteered at the Bay Ridges Long Term Care Centre. He brought many smiles to the staff and students of Bayview Heights Public School, Pine Ridge Secondary School and Ajax High School. Matthew thoroughly enjoyed playing baseball and bowling with West Durham Special Olympics. Although he didn't play in the league, he was well known and will be missed by the Westshore Mixed SloPitch Association. Matthew loved to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Rock and the Rock cheerleaders. He liked country music and in particular Alan Jackson. His charming personality, warm smile, infectious laugh, kind and generous heart will be greatly missed. We have all learned from him what is meant to have true courage, determination and how to be a better person. The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. James Rutka, Dr. Howard Petroff, Dr. Clive Schwartz and their staff. Visitation will be held at the DeSTEFANO FUNERAL HOME, 1289 Keith Ross Drive, Oshawa on Thursday, March 14th from 2-4 & 7-9 P.M. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Friday, March 15th at 11 A.M. Interment to follow at Duffin Meadows Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to Camp Oochigeas (a camp for children with cancer) would be appreciated by his family. Donations may be made at www.ooch.org PEARCE, Elsie May - May 1, 1922 - March 8, 2013. Lovingly we remember our mother Elsie who passed away at Lakeridge Health - Oshawa Hospital at the age of 90. Elsie was predeceased by her husband Aubrey in 1990. Loving mother of Christine and James, daughter-in-law Brenda and grandmother of Simon, Paul Tina, Sarah and Mark. Great- grandma to Connie, Carly, Katie, Lilly and Charles. Elsie enjoyed a full and active life. She initially apprenticed as a gold embroideress in London, England making masonic regalia and during the war years, embroidering military cap badges. Later she was a clerical officer in the British Civil Service. Elsie and her husband immigrated to Canada in 1976, to join her daughter and family in Pickering, Ontario. She became a very active member of St. Martin's Anglican Church, volunteering a lot of her time to the church, Community Care and the Ajax Hospital Auxiliary. Our Mum was a great mentor with a warm and loving heart, always full of encouragement and the promotion of Christian values. A faithful servant gone now to the arms of our Lord. Special thanks to the PSW from ParaMed who helped me look after Mum these past 2 years. A private family cremation will take place. The family will receive friends on Wednesday March 13th, from 2 p.m. until the time of the celebration of life memorial service at 3 p.m. in the chapel at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax (905-428-8488).

His religion was his solace, and so he became a devout Christian. After six years, Patrick heard God’s voice telling him it was time to leave Ireland, so he escaped from his captors and made his way back home. Here, he had another vision from an angel who told him he should go back to preach Christianity to the Irish. After 14 years studying to be a priest, Patrick returned to Ireland where he built churches and spread the Christian faith for the next 30 years until his death on March 17th, 460 AD. St. Patrick is said to be buried in Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland. Since his death, March 17th has become the day set aside for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide. Down Cathedral was built on the ancient hill of Down in the 12th Century, and has been a place of pilgrimage for over 1500 years. People from across the globe travel to Down Cathedral to leave wreaths on the massive granite stone that marks St Patrick’s Grave. Traditionally, emigrants leaving Ireland took a handful of the ‘old sod’ with them from the grave to remind them of Ireland. Traditional St. Patrick’s Day fare includes classic Corned Beef and Cabbage washed down with a pint o’ Guinness.
