DURHAM -- A new regional business count puts
Pickering at the top of the pack for jobs in Durham,
squeaking ahead of Oshawa by a nose.
The business count and employment survey found
the number of jobs in Pickering to be just ahead of
Oshawa at 29,009 to 28,727, with each municipal-
ity hosting 23 per cent of the region’s employment
within their borders.
“We’re very pleased with what we’ve seen to date,”
said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, noting nearly
30,000 local jobs is impressive for Pickering’s popu-
lation of 90,000.
“That’s a one-to-three, jobs-to-people ratio, which
is very encouraging. We’ve had a lot of success over
the last couple of years with 2,000 net new jobs.”
This is the first of what will now be an annual
count by the Region. Stephanie Jones, manager of
data, mapping and graphics for the Region’s plan-
ning and economic development department, said
the count was spurred by the Ontario Places to Grow
Act.
“We realized in planning we were going to need to
monitor the job numbers within the region and we
didn’t have a reliable employment database to be
able to do that,” she said, noting the data will be very
useful for monitoring economic trends and jobs,
connecting local businesses to one another, creating
programs to target skills shortages and more.

Durham celebrates
cancer
society’s 75th
anniversary
More than 2,000 local
volunteers for Canadian
Cancer Society
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Ajax resident Irene Turner is
just one of the people saying thank you to
the Canadian Cancer Society as the orga-
nization celebrated its 75th anniversary
at a ceremony at the Oshawa hospital.
Ms. Turner was diagnosed with breast
cancer last year. While her husband
drove her to chemotherapy treatments
once every three weeks at the Durham
Regional Cancer Centre, her daily radia-
tion treatments were a bigger challenge.
“He has to work and we’re a one-car
family so it was going to be tight,” she
explains.
That’s when the Canadian Cancer Soci-
ety stepped up with volunteers to drive
her to and from her appointments in
March. Both Ms. Turner and one of her
drivers, Oshawa resident Ken Waters,
were on hand at the ceremony on April
22.
“I’m so grateful for the drivers who have
helped and I want to say thank you to
them,” said Ms. Turner.
Mr. Waters has been volunteering for
four and a half years, since he retired from
working at General Motors. He describes
the experience as unbelievable.
“You meet all kinds of people,” he said.
“They all have stories to tell, it puts things
in perspective.”
Martin Kabat, chief executive officer
for the Ontario division of the Canadian
Cancer Society, said the society has the
biggest transportation program in Cana-
da, with between 2,000 and 3,000 volun-
teers driving 15 million kilometres a year
in Ontario.
In Durham, 120 volunteer drivers work
together to ferry 20 patients per day to
Lakeridge Health for chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. They’re among the
society’s more than 2,000 local volun-
teers.
In addition to supporting cancer
patients through the course of their treat-
ment, the cancer society has long raised
funds for research.
Mr. Kabat points out that when the
Canadian Cancer Society was founded
in 1938, only one in four Canadians sur-
vived cancer. Today, more than 60 per
cent of people diagnosed with the dis-
ease survive and the outcomes are even
better for breast cancer, with 88 per cent
surviving; 82 per cent of patients survive
childhood cancers.
Today, lung, esophageal, pancreatic,
brain and colorectal cancers account for
more than half of all cancer deaths and
Mr. Kabat said the challenge is to find
better treatments in those areas.
“We have to find a way to defeat what
we call the hard-to-treat cancers,” said
Mr. Kabat. “The model is there, we just
have to raise the funds to do it.”
In Durham, events such as Relay for Life
and the daffodil month campaign raise
$1.3 million annually for the society.
Lakeridge Health CEO Kevin Empey
and Tom McHugh, vice-president of can-
cer and clinical services at Lakeridge,
both thanked the Canadian Cancer Soci-
ety for its support.
The cancer society supports six clini-
cal trials at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for
studies related to breast, prostate, col-
orectal and lung cancer.
“I beg you, come to relay, wear the daf-
fodil, fight against cancer,” said Mr. Kabat
in his concluding remarks to the group.

OSHAWA -- Tessa Schoonderbeek, 5, picked out a cookie during an event at Lakeridge
Health Oshawa celebrating 75 years of cancer research on April 22. Lakeridge Health
and the Canadian Cancer Society were marking 75 years of cancer research sup-
port, advocacy and volunteerism for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Durham’s post-secondary
schools need to crank out
successful grads
New funding model
proposed for colleges and
universities
Melanie Jacob
newsroom@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Durham’s college and universities
must crank out successful graduates or risk losing
funding for their programs, under a proposed new
funding model.
“We would be looking to grow quality (of educa-
tion) instead of enrollment,” says Dr. Steven Frank-
lin, president and vice-chancellor of Trent Uni-
versity. “We need to reduce areas of weakness and
ensure any new resources are prioritized.”
On April 4, a panel of 10 experts from the High-
er Education Quality Council of Ontario released
a report that suggested colleges and universities
should compete for funding for programs. One of
the ways in which institutions could “compete” and
demonstrate their strength and success was through
the number of successful graduates.
“The purpose of the report was to force institu-
tions to think carefully about the choices they make,”
says Dr. Harvey Weingarten, president of HEQCO.
“Funding will be based on the quality of learning
and on outcomes ... it’ll be a shift from input to out-
put.”
The report was an assessment of the strategic mandate agree-
ment proposals by Ontario’s post-secondary institutions. The
SMA proposals were required by the Ministry of Training, Col-
leges and Universities and outlined the schools’ areas of focus
and the future goals of the institution. “One of the areas (Trent
University) will be focusing on is strengthening our environ-
mental and life sciences programs,” says Dr. Franklin.
UOIT, on the other hand, is a relatively new university that
already specializes in technology and research. Due to this
strong IT infrastructure, the institution doesn’t expect much
systemic change as a result of the new proposed funding
model.
“I believe we’re already highly differentiated with our math-
ematics, science and IT,” says Dr. Michael Owen, UOIT’s vice-
president of research, innovation and international. “We have
to maintain that level of education and continue to build on
those strengths.”
Durham College’s area of focus was slightly different than
specific programs. One of its proposed strengths was a greater
mobility between degrees and diplomas.
According to the panel’s assessment report, forcing institu-
tions to compete for financial support would focus funding on
specific areas, thereby raising the quality of education and the
efficiency of monetary distribution.

Failure to disclose
cop’s notes cited
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The Crown has withdrawn new
charges against a Pickering teen shot dur-
ing a confrontation with police last sum-
mer, acknowledging a delay in disclosing
relevant information to defence counsel.
Police notes should have been made
available soon after the July 16, 2012 inci-
dent, but were not, prosecutor Dave Sles-
sor said.
It had previously been thought the notes,
written by a Durham cop who shot the
youth during an armed robbery call, were
sealed until the completion of an investi-
gation into the incident by a civilian agen-
cy, Mr. Slessor told Ontario Court Justice
Mary Teresa Devlin.
But that’s not what the law says, he admit-
ted Tuesday.
“(The notes) should have been made
available to the robbery officers. They
should have been made available to the
Crown,” Mr. Slessor said. “That didn’t hap-
pen in this case.”
The withdrawal of the new charges was
applauded by defence lawyer Selwyn Piet-
ers. But he continues to insist the teen,
now 18, has been subjected to an abuse of
process by the Durham Crown attorney’s
office.
Mr. Pieters has filed a motion seeking
a stay of proceedings, arguing the teen’s
constitutional rights were violated. Jus-
tice Devlin is being asked to rule if the case
against the youth will be dismissed.
“What happened here today was quite
significant,” Mr. Pieters said.
“But the Crown’s duty is in the interest
of justice,” Mr. Pieters said. “The Crown
doesn’t represent police officers.”
The teen, whose identity is protect-
ed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act,
pleaded guilty to robbery last October.
Court heard he entered a Pickering vet-
erinary clinic, pointing a plastic cap gun
at a worker and demanding “euthanasia
drugs”.
The worker handed over vials of an anti-
biotic and the youth was confronted out-
side by Durham police. An officer fired sev-
eral times at the youth, hitting him twice.
Justice Devlin heard the teen, who has
struggled throughout his life with mental
illness, was intent on committing suicide
when he robbed the clinic.
The guilty plea was entered so the youth
could undergo an assessment that would
recommend the best course of treatment
for him, court heard. The Crown indicated
it was not seeking jail time for the boy.
In early January, however, the Crown’s
office announced it was laying additional
charges -- assault and using an imitation
firearm during flight -- based on allegations
the teen had pointed the imitation gun at
the officer outside the clinic. Mr. Slessor
said then the new charges were based on
information contained in officer’s notes
that had not been disclosed as the incident
was probed by the Special Investigations
Unit. The cop was cleared in November of
any wrongdoing.
Tuesday Mr. Slessor withdrew the new
charges, saying withholding of the officer’s
notes during the SIU investigation result-
ed in a failure to promptly disclose to the
defence details of the allegations.
Mr. Pieters said outside court he’s frus-
trated that his client, who needs treatment,
has been denied a timely resolution of his
case during the protracted proceedings.
“There was no resolution because of the
police and Crown conduct here,” he said.
The matter returns to court May 14.

Another Ajax student reports
stranger assault
AJAX -- Police are investigating anoth-
er report of a child being accosted by a
stranger in Ajax.
Durham police are appealing for infor-
mation from the public as they try to
identify a suspect in the incident, which
occurred recently in the vicinity of Har-
wood Avenue and Taunton Road.
Police said a young boy was walking
to school at Ling and Feint streets just
before 9 a.m. when a man passing him
reached out and grabbed his arm.
The child broke free and ran home,
police said.
No words were exchanged during
the encounter and the boy wasn’t hurt,
police said.
The suspect is described as a white
man in his late 30s, about 6 feet tall with
a medium build.
He wore a grey undershirt, a grey jack-
et, dark blue skinny jeans and black hik-
ing boots.
Anyone with information is asked to
call police at 905-579-1520, extension
2529 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-
8477.
The incident occurred on the same day
Durham police set up a command post
at another Ajax school in an effort to
gather information about an assault on a
student.
On April 12, a girl was grabbed by a
man as she walked through a wooded
area near Romeo Dallaire Public School
on Williamson Drive.
And on March 18 a man and woman
tried to lure a girl into a car outside
nearby Applecroft Public School in Ajax,
police both.
Both those incidents are still under
investigation.
Dog’s head found
in Pickering, police
investigating
PICKERING -- The discovery Sunday

The decomposing head of a small
dog was discovered in Summer Park in
the Altona Road and Finch Avenue area,

dog’s collar, the head appears to have
been cut off with a sharp tool, cops said.
Police have attempted to locate the
animal’s owners and have also put out
a call for information in the case. Call
905-579-1520, extension 2858 or Crime

It’s hard making
ends meet
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham workers could see increase
in minimum wage’, news, durhamregion.
com, April 17, 2013.
As I read the article, I believe our politi-
cians do keep the public in mind.
When I worked as an assistant manager
at a restaurant in 2006, I was making $6.80
per hour, a huge difference compared to
now.
I thought that was good because then
minimum wage was only $6 per hour.
At the same time, it was hard making
ends meet. I am a single man, and if I had
a wife or children to support, I would not
know how to do it.
The minimum wage is currently $10.25
an hour, and if our Ontario labour min-
ister looked at how many families had to
survive, maybe he would think of raising
the minimum wage.

It’s harder still to imagine that her hus-
band’s killer, Richard Kachkar, 46, could
soon be seen on the streets of Whitby.
That became a real possibility following
a decision by the Ontario Review Board
this week that will see Mr. Kachkar held in
medium security at Ontario Shores Centre
for Mental Health Sciences with an option
for escorted day passes.
Mr. Kachkar, in the throes of a psychot-
ic episode on a cold January morning in
2011, hopped into an idling snowplow
outside a coffee shop and went on a two-
hour rampage on the streets of Toronto. At
the height of it, he rammed the plow into
Sgt. Russell, killing him.
Mr. Kachkar was found not criminally
responsible -- NCR in the parlance of the
courts -- and was ordered held for psy-
chiatric treatment in Whitby. By most
accounts, the verdict was reasonable. Mr.
Kachkar suffers from serious mental ill-
ness and should receive necessary treat-
ments to manage his illness. In that con-
text, justice was served.
But to suggest so soon after the verdict
that Mr. Kachkar be eligible for escorted
passes off hospital grounds -- even though
his legal counsel didn’t seek it -- is alarm-
ing and disturbing, a ‘slap in the face’ as
noted by Mrs. Russell this week.
Under provisions of the ORB ruling,
Ontario Shores officials will determine if
escorted trips into the community by Mr.
Kachkar are warranted. But those deci-
sions, and the limits of any escorted trips,
should have been decided and clearly laid
out in court, not left to local health care
officials. In the interests of public safety
and security, no liberties should be per-
mitted until an annually mandated case
review is completed. Only then should
such liberties be considered, let alone
granted.
We can sympathize with Mr. Kachkar as
he deals with his debilitating mental ill-
ness and support treatment. But his illness
compelled him to kill a man. Our society
demands that law-abiding citizens be kept
safe from people with violent tendencies
and histories, whether driven by greed,
passion, hatred, or mental illness.
The verdict was clear: Mr. Kachkar was
not criminally responsible for his actions.
But mental health officials now bear a
huge responsibility to the citizens of Dur-
ham Region to ensure that their safety is
paramount.
A lot can change
in one year
I’ve been hearing a lot from other parents
lately about the fact their sons and daugh-
ters are returning from university.
One year away, and they’re home, seem-
ingly a different person but one who has
forgotten there are rules they now have to
follow. For one year they were virtually on
their own. No parent to say no. They had to
be their own conscience.
My wife and I haven’t had to face that
yet. Our son Connor was able to get a job
in New Brunswick where he is attending St.
Francis Xavier University.
For the next two months, he will be
boarding a bus at the local arena with three
friends to head north where he will be plant-
ing trees for seven hours a day.
He had asked to stay out there for the full
four months between university years but
we settled on two months.
He was responsible for getting a place to
stay and paying rent, not tasks I would have
thought he could have done just one year
ago.
He usually needed help with the big
things, which a year ago was laundry and
money to go out.
But a lot can change in a year. We even
noticed a change in ourselves.
Our calls and texts grew further apart.
When we did Skype, the calls became
shorter and shorter.
We heard from him when he needed
money and we caught up with what he was
doing and how great a time he was having
through Facebook.
When he does come home in July, he
will be 20 and I’m not sure what to expect.
He better still call me Dad, no Mike
allowed here.
I hope he still wants to do stuff with his
family and sit and talk with his brothers.
It’s going to make for an interesting July.

Bunnies breach back
yard, showdown looms
For the first time in my life, I have a bad
case of bunnies. Suddenly, seemingly out
of nowhere, rabbits are hopping with aban-
don through my backyard. I’m kind of tick-
led by this however as, up to this point, the
only fauna I’ve been treated to are a number
of frighteningly bubonic-looking squirrels
and a feral black cat that, for some reason,
reminds me of Amy Winehouse. Neither of
which do I have any inclination to cuddle,
let alone get within any distance that might
facilitate the transmission of some airborne
pathogen.
The bunnies, however, are cute. I should
add a clarification here. There may be a
number of bunnies or in fact only one very
busy bunny. I cannot tell. I only ever see one
of them at a time and they all seem to look
very much alike. But the speed and com-
plete unpredictability of their appearanc-
es lead me to believe that there are either
lots of them or only the one ... but he is on
crack.
I’m sure that like any other creature whose
life is one of constant vigilance as a result of
its lowly position on the food chain, bunnies
are hyper-aware, nervous, twitching wrecks.
They are the Richard Simmons of the animal
kingdom. But in spite of all that, they hop.
And because they hop, they look happy.
And frankly, I get a kick out of that. Having
bunnies hop through or about your yard as
you sit, cocktail in hand, is rather like having
unicorns, dolphins or Deepak Chopra play-
ing about your property. They make you feel
that, in spite of the mounting bills and the
aching joints and the melting ice caps, all is
still well in the world. How bad can things
be when you have bunnies?
Owen, the dog, is quite excited about the
bunnies as well, but for very different rea-
sons. His passion for them falls more along
the lines of a vendetta or blood feud.
The reason for this became clear to me
while raking the lawn the other day. In
doing so I discovered a large pile of bunny
pellets scattered about the base of a lilac
bush in the backyard. A bush that Owen
has claimed, through repeated and regular
urination, as a vital and sacrosanct marker
of his own territory. By choosing that par-
ticular spot as a place to poop, the rabbits
have brought ruin upon themselves. Who
knows why they did so? Perhaps some kind
of bunny fraternity prank. “Yeah, we’ll let
you into Sigma Tao, Thumper, but first you
gotta poop under that tree over there. Don’t
worry, the dog hardly ever comes outside.
Right, fellas?”
Whatever the motivation, such a flagrant
transgression is akin to the assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand or Confederate troops
firing on Fort Sumter. Owen is bound, by his
very DNA, to avenge such a slap in the muz-
zle. This may not be an easy task, however.
Bunnies are smart, quick and agile. Plus,
they breed like ... rabbits. To make matters
worse, Amy Winehouse, the cat, has borne
cool witness to all of this. As have the afore-
mentioned pox-ridden squirrels. Both of
whom have a vested interest in how all of
this plays out. Should Owen fail to reassert
his monarchy over the backyard domain
through some form of Bunny showdown,
we may have to move. Bunnies or no bun-
nies, I won’t have my dog being snickered at
by squirrels.

APLet’s Talk
We asked readers on Facebook when
they’ll pay off their mortgages based on a
recent CIBC report. Here’s what our Face-
book friends had to say...
Residential mortgages
and when some readers
will be free of them...
Mary Gaynor Gentile:
Couldn’t afford something
that looked all pretty on the
inside, had to buy some-
thing solid but outdated
and doing all the updating is so expen-
sive that extra payments I can’t put on
the mortgage. The house was built in
1954 and I think the decor was stuck in
the 70s. Same thiing with the last house
and we had to use the equity to pay off
the line of credit so we couldn’t put as
much down on the second house and we
had to go back to a 25-year mortgage.

Lesley Scherer: Never!
Kelly Murphy-Campo:
I think it is very difficult now-
adays with the temptation
of borrowing on the equity
to have renos, etc. done so
I added a few more years
of paying unfortunately :(
Derrick Webber: I will be
mortgage free by age 50.
If all goes well for the next
8 years and I don’t get laid
off. And we do manage to
save for our rrsp’s, resp,
and have money saved for either vaca-
tion, house improvements and emergen-
cies.
Mark Morissette: We
bought young, bought rea-
sonable, pay a tiny bit extra
every month (and bi-weekly
helps a lot as well) and will
have ours paid off in a little
under 5 more years, at age 44.
Lindsay Threlkeld: If we
don’t take advantage of
any pre-payment options
ours will be paid off by the
time we’re 52.
Kevin MacKenzie: If by 57
you mean by the year 2057
then that is about right! ;)
On diabetes...
An estimated 285 million people world-
wide are affected by diabetes. With a fur-
ther 7 million people developing diabetes
each year, this number is expected to hit
438 million by 2030.
The personal costs of diabetes may
include a reduced quality of life and
the increased likelihood of compli-
cations such as heart disease,
stroke, kidney disease, blind-
ness, amputation and erectile
dysfunction.
• Approximately 80 per cent of people with
diabetes will die as a result of heart disease
or stroke.
• Diabetes is a contributing
factor in the deaths of approx-
imately 41,500 Canadians
each year.
• Canadian adults with diabetes
are twice as likely to die prema-turely,
compared to people without diabetes.
• Life expectancy for people with type 1
diabetes may be shortened by as much as
15 years. Life expectancy for people with
type 2 diabetes may be shortened by 5 to
10 years.
The financial burden of diabetes and its
complications is enormous.
• People with diabetes incur medical costs
that are two to three times higher than
those without diabetes. A person with
diabetes can face direct costs for medica-
tion and supplies ranging from $1,000 to
$15,000 a year.
• By 2020, it’s estimated that diabetes will
cost the Canadian healthcare system $16.9
billion a year.
Prevention of type 2 diabetes
To date there is no proven way to prevent
type 1 diabetes. The onset of type 2 diabe-
tes may be prevented or delayed, through
increased physical activity, healthy eating
and weight loss.
People at risk of type 2 diabetes were
able to reduce their risk by 58 per cent by
exercising moderately for 30 minutes a day
and by losing 5 to 7 per cent of their body
weight.

AJAX -- Ajax firefighters were called to a house fire on Top Street early Wednesday
morning. A fire believed to have started in the garage spread to the home next
door, causing about $500,000 damage to the two residences. No one was hurt in
the blaze and the cause is still undetermined. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND
Residents
escape Ajax
house fire
unharmed
Two homes left
uninhabitable by
early-morning blaze
AJAX -- An early morning house fire has
left two Ajax families homeless.
By the time firefighters got to 11 Top St.
around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 24,
a fire that started in the garage had fully
engulfed the home. From there, it spread
to several attached dwellings, including a
shed, and on to the neighbouring home at
15 Top St.
“There was some material, such as a
shed, abutting the property that gave the
fire a path,” said Keith Doucette, chief fire
prevention officer for Ajax Fire Services. “It
took a while to put out because there were
two fires going at the same time.”
Residents in both homes were able to
escape the flames unharmed.
“Everybody was awake at the time, there
were people in the homes when we arrived
salvaging items but some had already
evacuated, and everyone was able to get
out safely,” said Mr. Doucette. “It was very,
very fortunate nobody was hurt, especially
given the timing of the fire.”
Firefighters, including one truck from
Pickering Fire Services, extinguished the
flames by 6 a.m.
The cause of the fire is still being investi-
gated. Mr. Doucette estimated the damage
at more than $500,000, noting both homes
are uninhabitable.

Durham
woman seeks
changes to
family law
process
Children harmed
by divorce battles:
advocate
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Children shouldn’t be casual-
ties in battles between warring parents.
That’s the message espoused by an
Oshawa woman who’s pressing for chang-
es to a family law system that she says plac-
es too much emphasis on litigation, an
acrimonious approach to separation that
often leaves kids caught in the middle.
“Even if you have a healthy divorce it’s
extremely hard on kids,” said Paulette Mac-
Donald. “If you throw this other BS into the
mix, they don’t stand a chance.”
Ms. MacDonald was delighted when
Oshawa City council proclaimed Thurs-
day, April 25, Parent Alienation Awareness
Day. She’s hoping to raise awareness about
the need for reform to the Divorce Act, and
the family law process.
Ms. MacDonald said she and her hus-
band divorced amicably years ago.
“We agreed to put our kids first,” she said.
“We never set foot inside a courtroom.”
It was later in life, when she became
involved with a man in the midst of a bit-
terly contested divorce, that she became
aware of just how messy the process can
be. She said she watched as the former
husband and wife battled, often using their
children to further their agendas.
The protracted battle resulted in police
involvement, broken-hearted children,
and sky-high legal bills, she said. Unable to
reach agreement on the most fundamental
aspects of child-rearing, they depended on
the courts to resolve such matters.
It’s Ms. MacDonald’s opinion that par-
ents -- not judges -- ought to make deci-
sions on issues such as when children visit
grandparents, when they’ll take vacations,
and the organized sports they play.
“Our court system is so outdated and
broken it actually facilitates this kind of
situation,” she said. “Healthy parents don’t
need to go to court to be told how to raise
their children.”
She wants to see legislative changes that
would require divorcing couples to agree
to equal, shared parenting arrangements,
and attend mandatory mediation sessions
to work issues through.
The way to guarantee the needs of chil-
dren are fulfilled is through consensus, not
a court system predicated on an adversari-
al approach, she said.
“When you have kids involved you can’t
act like a child yourself,” Ms. MacDonald
said.
“Love your children more than you hate
your ex.”

“We’re just beginning to analyze all the data
now so we’re still finding ways it will be used,”
she said. “But I can say we are very interest-
ed in seeing the year-over-year trends so we
can see what’s actually happening on the
ground in the business community.”
More than 10,000 businesses were visited
during last year’s survey, which counted a
total of 125,725 jobs in the region. Work on
the 2013 survey will begin in May.
“One thing we’ll be focusing on is increas-
ing awareness of the project and making it
more visible,” Ms. Jones said.
Farms and home-based businesses weren’t
visited during the last survey, although own-
ers of those businesses were encouraged
to fill the survey out online, so staff will be
making efforts to include more businesses
in those sectors.
“I think it’s fair to say the numbers we
found are actually higher since those busi-
nesses weren’t visited,” Ms. Jones said.
“That’s definitely an area we’re trying to tar-
get this year.”
Mayor Ryan says he’s hopeful last year’s
results will remind employers that Pickering
is a good place to do business.
“I think it publicly demonstrates that
we are the fastest-growing municipality,
and with the Seaton development coming
onstream we will have some high-profile
development lands available along the 407.”

Pickering leads Durham in jobs, employment survey says
Region increases
development
fees, passed on
to homebuyers
Keith GilliGan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Homebuyers will be shell-
ing out thousands more when buying a
new house in Durham Region.
Durham Region council on Wednes-
day approved a 23.4-per cent increase in
development charges, adding $4,628 to
the price of a single-detached home. The
higher rate takes effect on July 1.
The increase will put development
charges on a single-detached home at
$25,568. That’s only the Region’s portion,
as municipalities and school boards also
impose the fees on new development.
Development charges, or DCs, are paid
by developers to cover costs of required
services such as sewers, watermains,
policing, transit and more, to ensure
new development isn’t paid for by exist-
ing taxpayers. The charges are incorpo-
rated in the price of a new home.
Even with the increase, DCs in Dur-
ham are less than those imposed by
other regions. York charges $40,421 for
each single-detached house, while Peel
imposes $36,246.
John Koke, the chairman of the Dur-
ham chapter of the Building Indus-
try and Land Development Association
(BILD), said the organization was look-
ing for “some relief” and wanted the
phase-in period lengthened.
A longer phase-in to the higher rates
would “allow the increase to be absorbed
into the price of a home,” Mr. Koke said.
He suggested an increase of one-third
of the $4,628 on July 1, another one-third
on Dec. 1 and the final one-third on July
1, 2014.
Emilio DiPalo, president of the Dur-
ham Region Home Builders’ Association,
raised the issue of when DCs should be
paid. Usually, they are payable when a
building permit is issued, but the Region
is changing the timing, so half will be
due when the subdivision agreement is
approved by a local council.
“We don’t have the funds at that earlier
stage,” Mr. DiPalo said.
In both cases, Regional councillors
didn’t make the changes requested.
Cost of buying new homes set to increase in Durham
‘‘I think it publicly
demonstrates that we
are the fastest-growing
municipality and with
the Seaton development
coming onstream we
will have some high-
profile development lands
available along the 407.’

With most environmental experts rec- ognizing how carbon dioxide (CO2) emis- sions are a major cause of climate change,
hybrid vehicles that significantly reduce
those emissions have proven to be an
important green mobility option through-
out the world.
Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has
led the way in hybrid technology, playing
a key role in driving mass adoption global-
ly. TMC announced the sale of its five mil-
lionth hybrid vehicle worldwide.
Hybrid vehicles have been particularly
popular in Canada – with over 77,000 sold
to date and Toyota Canada accounting for
more than 80 per cent of Canada’s hybrid
sales in 2012.
TMC estimates that its hybrid vehicles
throughout the world have collectively
reduced CO2 emissions by approximate-
ly 34 million tons of CO2 emissions, com-
pared to what would have been put into
the atmosphere if gasoline-powered vehi-
cles had been driven instead of hybrids.
In addition, it’s estimated that Toyota
hybrids have saved about 17 million kilo-
litres of gasoline globally, compared to
what would have been consumed by gas-
oline-only powered vehicles.
In Canada, Toyota and Lexus hybrids –
have reduced CO2 emissions by about 380
thousand tons and saved an estimated 163
million litres of gasoline.
Toyota and Lexus sell 19 hybrid mod-
els and one plug-in hybrid in 80 countries
and regions around the world. Eleven of
the models are available in the Canada,
including six from Toyota and five from
Lexus.
These include Prius Liftback, Prius v,
Prius c, Prius Plug-in, Camry Hybrid, High-
lander Hybrid, Lexus CT200h, ES300h,
GS450h, LS600h and RX450h. In fact,
beginning next year the RX450h will be
manufactured by Toyota Motor Manufac-
turing Cambridge, Ontario.

Once billed as “the Standard of the
World”, Cadillac stood for years as the lead-
ing premium luxury car of the Americas.
Yes, there were the Lincoln Marks and
even the Chrysler Imperial, but the Cadil-
lac said it all without a word being spoken.
We all know Cadillac fell off the track
starting in the 1970s with occasional flashes
of brilliance such as the STS, but basically,
the brand withered as GM got smothered
in bloated leadership and badge engineer-
ing. That started to turn around with the
CTS, followed last year by the ATS sports
sedans which all North America’s true pro-
fessional auto writers picked as their car of
the year. One part of the Caddy puzzle was
missing and that was a flagship model.
The de Ville and then the DTS were load-
ed with luxury but, nonetheless, lagged
increasingly behind the Germans and the
Japanese.
That has changed with the 2013 XTS full-
size sedan with CTS-DNA influenced styl-
ing and amenities plus leading edge tech-
nology throughout.
The XTS is available in front- and all-
wheel-drive. In the AWD version, there is
an electronic limited slip differential that
allows for what is being called “torque vec-
toring.” What it does is shift torque back
and forth across the rear axle to send power
to the wheel with the most grip, ensuring a
more planted feeling especially in corners.
Front drive is only available on the entry-
level model with FWD/AWD drive avail-
able on the other three (Luxury Collection,
Premium Collection and Platinum Collec-
tion).
Tested here is the Premium AWD model
that starts at $59,000. With $3,055 in
options, notably $1,295 for the White Dia-
mond Tricoat paint and $1,660 for the roof
length power sunroof/sun shade, the tab
was $63,670 including a $1,595 shipping
fee.
Power is GM’s ubiquitous 3.6-litre quad
cam direct injection V6 producing 304 hp
and 264 lb/ft of torque. Fuel consump-
tion is rated at 12.1/7.7/9.9 L/100 km
city/highway/combined for the FWD and
12.5/7.7/10.3 for the AWD.
This is the first topline Cadillac not to
come with a V8. The outgoing DTS used
the aging 4.6-litre Northstar that put out
292 hp and 288 lb/ft of torque. So while it
gives up 24 lb/ft of torque the V6 has more
power and, crucially, better fuel economy
aided by the electronic six-speed automat-
ic in the XTS compared to the four-speed
in the DTS.
Suspension is four-wheel independent
with a “HiPer Strut” MacPherson-based
system at the front and H-Arm rear with
self-levelling shocks.
GM’s Magnetic Ride Control is standard
on all trim levels and it electronically sens-
es the ride and road conditions to auto-
matically adjust damping every five milli-
seconds.
Braking is by discs at all four corners with
the fronts equipped with Brembo calipers
to give more positive stopping power to
the XTS that weighs in at two tons. These
discs have auto dry technology that ever so
lightly applies the brakes when necessary
to burn off excess moisture.
The trunk is so big I would have need-
ed an extra flash or two to illuminate it
because it goes back so far for no less than
509 litres or 18.0 cu ft. Towing is restricted
to 454 kg (1,000 lb).
Driving the XTS Premium AWD was
restricted because of a spring ice/snow
storm in my area, so I just left the car in the
garage for three of the seven days I had it.
However when I did venture out, I could
not feel the AWD working although I’m
sure was going overtime.
On the highway, it was very stable as you
would expect, but when I took back roads
that had the remains of last year’s gravel,
the ABS and traction control plus the sta-
bility control would slow the XTS in spots
where there was just mud and then have to
switch on patches of gravel.
At times the XTS wanted to steer to the
right because that’s where the AWD sensed
the most traction was, while the stability
control wanted to go straight. I was never
in danger of losing traction, but it was
intriguing to actually feel both systems are
work.
The Premium and Platinum are both
equipped with GM’s Safety Alert Seat that
gives you a little rumble in the seat cushion
when cameras/sensors on the XTS detect a
problem.
One example is when you cross a lane,
the cameras see the dotted or solid line
and give you a pulsing nudge. This can be
turned off by a switch on the centre instru-
ment stack. The seat also does its thing
with blind spot alert and rear cross traffic
alert.
Along with the ATS, this is the car Cadil-
lac has needed for long time. It provides a
true North American full-size luxury car
that finally comes up to quality levels of its
offshore competitors.

Ford and General Motors have signed
an agreement under which both compa-
nies will jointly develop an all-new gen-
eration of advanced technology nine- and
10-speed automatic transmissions for
cars, crossovers, SUVs and trucks.
The new transmissions, to be built in
both front- and rear-wheel drive variants,
will improve vehicle performance and
increase fuel economy.
The collaboration enables both auto-
makers to design, develop, engineer, test,
validate and deliver these new transmis-
sions for their vehicles faster and at lower
cost than if each company worked inde-
pendently.
This new agreement marks the third
time in the past decade that GM and Ford
have collaborated on transmissions.
These collaborative efforts have enabled
both companies together to deliver more
than 8 million durable, high-quality six-
speed front-wheel drive transmissions to
customers around the globe.
Ford installs these 6-speed transmis-
sions in some of North America’s favorite
vehicles, such as the Ford Fusion family
sedan, the Edge crossover and the Escape
and Explorer SUVs, while GM installs
them into a variety of high volume, award-
winning products like the Chevrolet Mali-
bu, Chevrolet Traverse, Chevrolet Equinox
and Chevrolet Cruze.
These original collaborations served as a
template for the new one.
As before, each company will manu-
facture its own transmissions in its own
plants with many common components.

GM and Ford to jointly develop advanced transmissions
Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Kingsley were
among the names who attended the big red
carpet event recently in London’s Leicester
Square
The stars of Marvel’s Iron Man 3 movie
were joined by a very special guest at a VIP
screening of the film in London’s Leicester
Square on Thursday 18 April: the Audi R8
e-tron.
The film, distributed by Disney, is due for
general release in cinemas in April.
The stunning all-electric prototype
sports car is driven by Robert Downey
Jr. in the film. It was shipped over espe-
cially from Germany to be displayed on a
specially erected plinth alongside the red
carpet, where it was joined by the stars of
the movie - a stellar cast including Rob-
ert Downey Jr., Rebecca Hall, Ben Kings-
ley and Don Cheadle. All of the film’s stars
were chauffeured to the top of the red car-
pet by a fleet of Audi A8s, together with VIP
guests including Labrinth, Estelle, Dermot
O’Leary and Samantha Barks.
As well as showcasing Audi technology
and sleek design with the Audi R8 e-tron,
Iron Man 3 also features the Audi S7 Sport-
back, driven by Paltrow’s character Pep-
per Potts, CEO of Stark Industries and girl-
friend of Tony Stark.

MOTHER’S DAY
Suddenly, a
single mother
One minute we were a couple and then I
was a single mother. Never before had I felt
the true onus of being in my motherly role.
He had always been by my side and then
in a short, brief 45 minutes he was gone.
The doctors said a major heart attack had
taken his life, which was only half lived. He
was too young to die. There it was just me
and those wonderful trusting, sweet faces
of my five children looking for comfort,
guidance, financial support and so much
more.
Motherhood suddenly hit me full force.
Could I do it? I had to or fail my children
and I could never conceive doing that. God
became my big supporter and I called fre-
quently for guidance. Go to the library,
read books and learn. There is a right and
wrong way to get through this. Financ-
es, always handled by him, but no longer,
well another learning curve. This mother
bit was definitely made up of multitask-
ing and so many sides, most of which I had
just taken for granted. No longer the case, I
was in it to win as these were precious gifts
that I had been given.
My wonderful mother by my side, but not
interfering, realizing I had to do it my way.
Make mistakes, small ones hopefully and
learn by them. Personal time, what was
that? Work, find babysitters, cook, clean,
wash and the duties of motherhood filled
my life. Love was ever present though in
our home as we made our way through the
years and the tears turned to smiles and
warm, heart-filling memories of wonderful
times together.
Well the years have gone by and the chil-
dren all have children of their own and
have grown to be wonderful parents them-
selves.
Never again will I allow anyone to take
the role of being a ‘good mother’ lightly. It
is all-encompassing and the best job with
the greatest rewards anyone could have in
the world.

MOTHER’S DAY
Memories
My Mother passed some 40-plus years
ago at Christmas in a car accident but I
hold dear to my heart all the wonderful
memories I have of her. She was the moth-
er of six children but to speak to her about
any one of us you would think we were her
only child.
I really don’t know how she managed.
She was a stay-home mom but she had
several jobs while we were at school. The
biggest job of course was being our mom
but also she was a door-to-door Tupper-
ware sales lady as well as Avon. Then at
night time she was a school custodian.
She always wore a dress and always
looked fresh no matter what time of day.
She was always there when we woke up or
went to bed at night. She was always there
when we came home for lunch and always
had a hot dinner on the table just as Dad
was coming in the door. She ran a very
tight ship. She made most of all our clothes
and ironed everything.
At Easter she would make these amaz-
ing chocolate personalized Easter eggs
for each one of us. She had this secret
shelf high above the kitchen sink where
she would hide her creations until Easter.
These eggs were so rich, they looked like
real eggs inside. We all got very excited
every Easter knowing that she would be
baking. But we never caught her baking.
She did it either when we were at school or
when we were asleep.
To this day I can still smell her perfume
and hear her voice. Now I have two chil-
dren of our own that are grown up and I
just hope and pray that I am even half the
great mother to them as our Mother was to
us. Painfully missed but never forgotten.

My mother’s love
As a teenager with only babysitting money
to my name, I remember making a long walk
to a women’s discount store and buying my
mom a dress for Mother’s Day. As the young-
est of six, my recollection of my mom at that
time was simply a patient, loving and selfless
person.
Everyone else’s needs always came before
hers. Today, my mom is my non-judgmental
friend, confidant, role model and cheerlead-
er. I don’t see her every day but I can honestly
say that I think of her every day.
When I was married only a year, my hus-
band and I had a precious baby boy named
Justin. It was my first taste of motherhood
but would be short lived. I remember the
agonizing six weeks back and forth to Sick-
Kids hospital not knowing if he would live or
die. Hopeful days were shattered by disap-
pointments and in my exhaustion at about
the four-week point I broke down in a mess
of tears and anguish. I was sitting in my par-
ents’ kitchen and I remember to this day the
words my mom said to me: “You have only
known this precious baby for four weeks and
see how much you love him.”
This year will be my 21st Mother’s Day with-
out him. But with every tear Mother’s Day
brings it also brings happiness. The uncondi-
tional love my mom has for me, coupled with
the unending love I have for my two amaz-
ing teenaged daughters, reminds me to never
let a moment slip by without telling them or
showing them that I love them.
I will never really know if my mom liked
that pink and white striped polyester dress I
bought her, all I know is she wore it proudly
to church on Mother’s Day and many other
Sundays and special occasions after that.
Paula Melless, Ajax
The mirror
never lies
During a recent visit to my mother’s cot-
tage home, I dropped my bag on the bed and
turned to see a new addition to the room.
Framed and hung on the wall was a poem:
‘Mirror, mirror on the wall
When did I become my mother after all?’
My mother’s idea of a joke and an obvi-
ous response to my two sisters’ and my lat-
est wondering. When, as many people were
noticing, had we started to look so much like
our mother?
Mom is known for two things: her sense
of humour and her eccentricity. Over the
years, her blunt and sarcastic wit, combined
with her odd behaviours (cutting the grass
with kitchen scissors and sitting on her grav-
el driveway for hours picking weeds from
between the stones) have caused us, her kids,
much embarrassment.
But this past fall, our embarrassment turned
to a deep and enduring respect when a cot-
tage neighbour called to say Mom had fallen
on the road while walking her dog. Unable to
stand and thinking she may have broken her
leg, Mom dragged herself through the snow,
on her bottom, to reach the nearest cottage.
When no one was home, she pulled herself
to the next cottage. An ambulance was called
and it turned out she had broken her hip, and
that during her two-hour bum shuffle across
cottage country, she had passed out three
times. The next day, as we waited for her sur-
gery, Mom not only managed to convince us
she was all right, but had us laughing with her
retelling of being surrounded by seven volun-
teer firefighters (one of whom she imagined
fancied her), two ambulance attendants, half
a dozen neighbours and her confused dog.
Determined to return home and to walking
her puppy, Mom now manages to get around
without the aid of a cane -- weeks ahead of
the normally expected recovery time.
Now, when I look at that frame on the bed-
room wall I hope it is true. I hope I am like my
strong, albeit a bit whacky, mother.

Clayton
reaches
goal
Pickering forward
accepts scholarship
to play for RIT Tigers
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Cassie Clayton has reached
her goal.
Ever since she started playing hockey
-- maybe even as far back as road hockey
with her brothers -- the Pickering resident
had one goal that she ultimately wanted to
attain: get a scholarship.
Well, she scored one, to Rochester Insti-
tute of Technology, that will begin in the
fall.
“Ever since I started playing hockey. That
was my overall goal,” she says of heading off
to the U.S. to play NCAA hockey. “To most
girls it’s to play on the national team. That’s
also a goal, but my overall goal was to get a
scholarship.”
Joining a new team will be nothing new to
the 17 year old, who played minor with the
Durham West Lightning, Willowdale and
Leaside. For the past two seasons, she has
played in the Provincial Women’s Hock-
ey League with the Mississauga Jr. Chiefs.
Last season, as a rookie, she had 3-4-7 point
totals in 32 games, eclipsing those numbers
this season with 9-7-16 totals in 37 games to
go along with 62 penalty minutes.
She also gets some extra time at her
school, PEAC in Toronto, a school for elite
athletes, where they are at the rink for an
hour every Monday to Thursday, with off-
ice dryland training available to the stu-
dents after school.
Her interest in a scholarship really height-
ened when she was in bantam after watch-
ing an NCAA game between Robert Morris
and Maine while playing in a tournament.
When it came time to consider which
school to go to, she did a thorough investi-
gation, visiting between 10-15 universities.
RIT had the right feel, and the best offer.
“For starters, it was the coaching staff,”
she says. “I was really comfortable with the
school. As soon as I saw it, I knew that was
where I wanted to go. I was sure of it, but I
held off on my decision for a while.”
When Clayton joins the Tigers hockey pro-
gram in the fall, she will be surrounded by
some local talent. Marissa Maugeri of Ajax
will be in her junior season. As a freshman,
she helped RIT to the NCAA Division-III
hockey championship. She was part of his-
tory last season as a sophomore when the
program moved up to the Division-I level.
Also joining the Tigers as a freshman in
the fall is Orono’s Brittany St. James, who
played this past season with the Durham
West Jr. Lightning.
When Clayton, a centre/right wing, isn’t
at the rink, she will be in class studying sci-
ences.

Semeniuk
athlete of year
OSHAWA – Durham College paid trib-
ute to its top athletes at its 43rd annu-
al athletic banquet at the General W.
Sikorski Polish Veterans Association
Hall in Oshawa.
Riley McAllister, of Whitby, of the
men’s volleyball team, earned the Wil-
liam Avery male athlete of the year
award, while Melissa Semeniuk, of
Ajax, of the women’s fastball and vol-
leyball teams, was named the female
athlete of the year.
Semeniuk had an outstanding year
for Durham on the diamond and on
the court. With the women’s fastball
team, she earned the OCAA’s top bat-
ter award for 2012 and was named an
OCAA All-Star. She set a new regular
season record with 31 hits, resulting in
a .544 batting average. She drove in 24
runs and scored 20 times. The Lords
went on to win silver medals at the pro-
vincial and national championships. In
women’s volleyball, she appeared in
20 matches and averaged 2.1 points
per set. The Lords won the OCAA east
region championship.
Semeniuk was also named the
women’s fastball MVP. Other female
MVPs included soccer player Megan
Arsenault (Ajax), and volleyball players
Leah Saar (Pickering).
The Bonnie Ginter-Brown Leader-
ship Award is presented annually to the
overall male and female athletes who
best exemplify outstanding leadership
in the pursuit of excellence. Semeniuk
and Duncan Mitchell (Pickering), of the
men’s soccer team, were this year’s
honourees.
OSHAWA -- Melissa Semeniuk, of
Ajax, was the female athlete of the
year at Durham College, while Riley
McAllister, of Whitby, was the male
athlete of the year. They’re with
Durham College president Don Lovisa
and Margaret Greenley, the college’s

How Do Yo ur
Finances Stack Up?A&&&&&&Q
Do you know whether your financial life is a success?
One way to find out is to measure your net worth.This is the value of everything you
own, minus everything you owe. In other words, assets minus liabilities.
Net worth provides a snapshot of your finances. If you’re in goods shape, you should
own considerably more than you owe, resulting in substantial net worth. If your net
worth is low, or even a negative number, you have some serious work ahead.
Yo urfirststepistoaddthe valueofyourassets.Theseincludeyourinvestments,house,
cottage,car,collectibles,the cash portion of life insurance and pensions,and anything
else of lasting worth.
Then total your debits. Include consumer and investment loans, credit card balances,
lines of credit, Income tax owing and any other liabilities.
Finally, subtract liabilities from assets.Yo ur snapshot is now complete.
It’s a good idea to discuss your findings with your financial advisor.With professional
help you can put the figure in context and use it as a tool for planning your financial
future.

Pickering Soccer Club U10 Green wins tourney
ANCASTER -- After a winter of rebuilding and hard training,
the Pickering Soccer Club girls U10 Green team entered the
St. Patrick’s Day Showdown in Ancaster.
This day long tournament featured three, 40 minute games
in a round robin format with the top two teams from the
group advancing to the championship game. Pickering, hav-
ing a few new players and two new coaches, approached the
event as a learning experience to see how the girls would per-
form in their first games as a team.
Game one against a strong Kitchener U10 squad wound up
as a 1-1 draw followed by a solid 4-2 win over the host team
and a shutout 4-0 victory over the Kitchener U9 team.
Undefeated, the Pickering club had surpassed all expecta-
tions as a new team and entered the championship game in
first place via goal differential, where they were to face the
Kitchener U10 team one more time.
Pickering struggled somewhat to get their composure in
the first five minutes of the game, but managed to start the
scoring and held onto a 1-0 lead until the 30th minute of
the match when Kitchener tied it up. A strong battle ensued
to send the game to penalty kicks to decide the champion-
ship match. Pickering came away with the victory and were
crowned as the champions of St. Patrick’s Day Showdown.
ANCASTER -- The Pickering Soccer Club’s U10 Green team
won the championship of the St. Patrick’s Day Showdown
tournament in Ancaster, beating Kitchener on penalty
kicks in the finals. Submitted photo
