Mugged JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- They emerged suddenly from the darkness, closing in on the lone kid as he made his way across an Ajax park. The first thing he saw was the gun. “These two guys ran up behind me and one of them grabbed my arm,” 18-year-old Andrew Mar- tin recalled. “They had the gun already drawn. “They started telling me to give them everything I had in my pockets.” It was about 9 p.m. on March 10. Andrew was cutting through Lord Durham Park, east of Falby Court, on his way home from work.

Every year Ms. Logan and boyfriend Tony Gajtanovski participate in Meagan’s Walk for SickKids and pediatric brain tumour research in memory of their son Logan, who was diag- nosed with a brain tumour in early 2010 and died nine months later. During this year’s walk on May 12 in Toron- to, Ms. Logan got a pleasant surprise when Mr. Gajtanovski surprised her with a ring adorned with Logan’s birthstone, alexandrite. “It couldn’t have been a better place or a more monumental moment,” Ms. Logan said of the proposal, which she promptly accepted. The couple, who has been together for 14 years, has had two sons since Logan’s death, and Ms. Logan says they are now taking things one step at a time. Although they haven’t set a date yet, Ms. Logan says she definitely wants a winter wed- ding, and that they might even be hitched by the time next year’s Meagan’s Walk rolls around. “We will continue to do the walk until we can’t walk anymore,” she said. “That’s a day we wanted to dedicate to Logan and it’s something that can help other people. It’s a good cause and hopefully not only will my team grow in the future but the amount of money we’ll be able to raise will also grow.” While the walk has always been difficult due to the painful memories of Logan’s loss that it brings to the surface, Ms. Logan is now hopeful for next year. Money raised at this year’s event brings the total funds raised to more than $3 million since the walk began in 2001.

Join us on Facebook/Join us on Facebook/Join us on Facebook/newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham Another effort started to save TV show KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- While the TV show may be no more, the fundraising campaign to build a memo- rial for the Bomb Girls continues. Lori Jackson, co-chairwoman of the Ajax Bomb Girls Legacy Campaign, said the initia- tive continues with a Sail-a-bration in July. It’s running from July 5 to 8, when HMCS Kingston and HMCS Glace Bay will be docked at the Port of Oshawa. Events include ship tours, children’s activities, a barbecue and, on Saturday, July 6, the Shore Leave Dinner and Dance at the Jubilee Pavilion. The cost for the dinner and dance is $100. “We look to see as many people down there as possible,” Ms. Jackson told Ajax council on May 13. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Col- leen Jordan said more than $75,000 has been raised so far. “There’s a ways to go. It’s estimated to cost $250,000 to $500,000 for a larger-than-life sculpture,” she said. Donations have come around the world, including Denmark and Ireland, she noted. “Thousands worked at the plant. Their rela- tives worked here and stayed here,” she said. The sculpture will be placed in Pat Bayly Square, which is part of a massive develop- ment in the early stages of construction at the southwest corner of Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street. It’s to honour the women who worked at Defence Industries Limited, the munitions factory the Town of Ajax grew out of. Global TV announced recently it was cancelling the Bomb Girls TV show due to slipping ratings. The show was in its second season and when it announced the cancellation, Global had said a TV movie would air in 2014 that would tie up loose ends in the story lines. Executive producer Janis Lundman said of the movie, “We’re still in the planning stage, nothing is finalized. “It was a great show ... we’re proud of what we’ve achieved but, yes, ultimately it was the ratings. I think our split season had a lot to do with it,” Ms. Lundman added. She noted that the second season began on Jan. 3, ran for six weeks and then went on hiatus for other programming. When the show came back after the five-week break, it was in a different time slot. In December, Global said the show was a certified hit, averaging 1.3 mil- lion viewers per episode. But ratings fell this season in the Monday night time slot. With an estimated tally of 605,000 viewers, Bomb Girls finished fourth in its time slot April 15, behind The Following on CTV (1,339,000), Murdoch Mysteries on CBC (1,099,000) and 2 Broke Girls on City (1,036,000). The cancellation isn’t sitting well with fans of the show, some of whom have started Save Bomb Girls cam- paign. They’re hoping the campaign will convince Global to reverse course and, at the very least, air a third season. Two petitions have been started -- one at change.org and the other at ipetitions.com. As of Tuesday, May 14, 3,214 people had signed the change.org petition and the hope is to reach 5,000. Among the comments left on the peti- tion site include Lila Arenas, of Santiago, Chile, who wrote, “I fear there isn’t going to be another TV show any time soon that will understand the things that the Bomb Girls’ crew seems to so effortlessly achieve.” Kelli Halsell of Tampa, Florida, wrote, “Haven’t seen a show this good in a long time. Strong women, strong story lines, great writers, great actors, I don’t understand why you would want to cancel it.” Liz Brock, of Atlanta, praised the show. “This is such a fine, beautifully made show! You have no idea of your real viewership numbers. As a US viewer, I say, teach me more about Canada -- and let me follow all these wonderful women’s stories further.” Links to the petitions can be found at save- bombgirls.com. There’s also a Twitter account at twitter. com/SaveBombGirls. It started on April 23 and now has 740 followers. Fundraising has also been ongoing, with proceeds used to buy Victory Bandanas. The bandanas are similar to the headgear women wore while working in the munitions factory. Organizers are planning to send 1,000 of the bandanas to Global by the end of May. -- files from Torstar news services Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 5 AP nothing is finalized. “It was a great show ... we’re proud of what we’ve achieved but, yes, ultimately it was the ratings.

It’s a fantastic addition to the municipali- ties that will mean enhanced recreation- al opportunities and the creation of a big swath of nature reserve lands. Pickering council’s executive committee heard all about it from Toronto and Region Conservation representatives at a Mon- day night meeting. The former Greenwood Conservation Area is expanding to become the Greenwood Conservation Lands, with the additional lands given to the TRCA from the City of Toronto. The area will total 677 hectares, including former landfill and aggregate mining sites, which the organization is working to restore. Much of the additional area is in Pickering, northwest of the existing Greenwood Con- servation Area, expanding it north to Hwy. 7. In Ajax, the addition is west of Church Street, and Greenwood will now reach the Pickering border. Around two-thirds of the area will be clas- sified as nature reserve lands, the most sen- sitive and highly protected land category. But the lands will also include a 40-kilo- metre trail system with nine trail heads and parking lots, an accessible fishing platform, an off-leash dog park, a new community park in Pickering and more. As well, Pickering Museum Village will expand. A cherished facility in Pickering and all of Durham, like Greenwood itself it’s going to welcome visitors in a bigger way: in the 2015 Pickering capital forecast, $7.25 million is slated for the design and con- struction of a new visitor building. The restoration of the former aggregate extraction and Toronto landfill areas is of particular importance. As the City report notes, this area “is home to a wide range of environments including mixed forest, open meadows and wetland communities and has three sensitive watercourses (Spring Creek, Brougham Creek and East Duffins Creek) flowing through it.” A great deal of work is required to bring these areas back to what they once were, but the natural world is surprisingly resil- ient. The new Greenwood lands north of the 5th Concession encompass an impor- tant chunk of the Duffins Creek Watershed, and while Conservation Ontario in a recent report noted water quality in the watershed is “fair,” it can only improve once the resto- ration is complete. While everybody in Durham can enjoy the larger greenspace, with Seaton on the way, Greenwood will become an even bet- ter natural and recreational area for the new Pickering residents in particular. No review of OPG relicensing agreement To the editor: In a double strike, the 561,258 souls residing in Durham Region acquiesced reference to their concerns about nucle- ar waste, the decommissioning process, environmental and community impact and emergency preparedness. How? On Monday April 22, 2013 at the llth hour, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan asked for consensus of council with respect to support of a five-year relicensing agree- ment with Ontario Power Generation. As it was not even an agenda item, neither council nor the public was given opportu- nity to review the data or discuss the ade- quacy of an ‘event’ evacuation plan. The democratic process was circumvented. If that wasn’t enough, on April 24 at Regional council Mayor Ryan asked for amendments which removed the Region’s reference to its concerns about nuclear waste, its participation in the decommis- sioning process and mitigation of com- munity effects. Furthermore, any discussion was dubbed ‘a muddying of the waters’ by an indignant mayor defending the 2,000 jobs and OPG. The Pickering nuclear generating station poses a significant threat to the drinking water source for millions of people in the GTA, Durham Region and beyond. It is as real as the ‘could never happen’ Chernobyl and the neglected risk assess- ments responsible for Fukushima. In showing ‘strong support’ void of criti- cal analysis, our municipal representa- tives abdicated their duty to hold the pow- erful industry leader OPG subservient to the political process both now and in the future, by precedent. Barbara Pulst Pickering That decision was a turkey To the editor: Re: ‘Wild turkey hunting season thriving in Ontario, Durham’, news, Oshawa-Whit- by This Week and durhamregion.com, May 3, 2013. Seriously? An article about wild turkey hunting on the front page while a young man’s fight to stay alive by getting an organ donation is buried inside the paper? You should know that a great portion of your readership will never understand the actions of those who have no problem walking into someone’s living room and blowing them away because that is in fact what this wild turkey article is about. I would much rather read about some- one who is interested in saving lives than someone who, for some unfathomable rea- son, delights in taking them. Perhaps in the future a little sensitivity and better judg- ment can be exercised.

Court costs awarded to Pickering teen shot by police Judge finds Charter breach in case JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A youth court judge has taken the extraordinary measure of awarding costs to a defendant, finding the Crown breached the teen’s rights by withholding information rele- vant to the case. On Tuesday, Ontario Court Jus- tice Mary Teresa Devlin ordered the Crown to pay $13,000 to cover costs incurred when addi- tional charges were laid against a youth who had already plead- ed guilty to robbery. The teen, now 18, was shot twice by a Durham police offi- cer responding to an armed rob- bery at a Kingston Road veteri- nary clinic on the morning of July 16, 2012. Court has heard the youth, who has significant mental heath issues, was intent on committing suicide when he pointed a plastic cap gun at a clinic worker and demanded euthanasia drugs. He’s been sentenced to two years probation, during which he’ll receive treatment and counselling. Justice Devlin found the youth’s Charter rights were breached because the Crown did not immediately release police notes, taken the day of the inci- dent, to the defence. The breach was based on a “mistaken belief” the notes were sealed while a civilian agency investigated the officer’s role in the shooting, the judge said. “The Crown ought to have known from the outset it was obligated to disclose (the notes),” said Justice Devlin. Outside court, defence lawyer Selwyn Pieters said the ruling amounted to an admonishment for the Crown’s office. “This is quite significant,” he said. “Very rarely are costs awarded in criminal matters. “As the court noted the Crown’s conduct in this case was quite egregious,” Mr. Pieters said. At issue for the judge was a decision by the Crown to lay new charges -- assault and using an imitation firearm dur- ing flight -- in January, months after the teen pleaded guilty to robbery. At the time prosecutor Dave Slessor said the new charg- es related to incidents after the robbery, when the teen pointed the imitation gun at the Durham officer outside the vet clinic. The new charges were based on the officer’s notes, written at the time of the incident but not released to the defence until January. Mr. Slessor said the Crown hadn’t been privy to the notes because they were sealed until an investigation by the Special Investigations Unit was completed. But in April, Mr. Slessor admit- ted that’s not the case -- the law says the notes can be released as disclosure -- and asked that the new charges be withdrawn. Although she acknowledged the Crown’s efforts to correct the error, Justice Devlin said Tues- day withdrawal of the charges didn’t suffice in addressing the delay. “I find there has been a breach of (the youth’s) constitution- al rights,” she said, calling the Crown’s actions a “marked departure” from the standard expected. Mr. Slessor was not in court Tuesday. On Tuesday the teen, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, told the judge he’s sorry for the ter- ror he inflicted when he pointed the cap gun at a clinic worker. “If I could say anything to the victims it’s that this wasn’t per- sonal,” he said. “It was just to harm myself. “I don’t hold a grudge against anybody, and that includes the cop who shot me,” he said. DURHAM -- Durham police at the scene of a shooting at a Kingston Road veterinarian clinic in Pickering in July, 2012. A youth judge ruled the teen’s Charter rights were breached when the Crown laid more charges after a guilty plea had been entered by the teen.

He wasn’t contemplating danger until it walked up and grabbed him from behind. Andrew didn’t get much of a look at his assailants. He was focused on the gun. “It was kind of small -- it was a handgun. They never pointed at me, they just point- ed it at the ground the whole time,” he said. “I guess they didn’t want to accidentally shoot me.” The bandits demanded Andrew’s phone. He handed over a hand-me-down he’d borrowed from his grandparents after los- ing his own phone. He didn’t think they’d even want it, but they pocketed it. They demanded more. They rifled through his pockets, taking a wad of cash. They boost- ed his knapsack, in which he carried his old work boots. Then they faded into the gloom from which they’d appeared. Andrew bolted from the park, intent on getting to his house near Pickering Beach Road so he could call the cops. Emerging onto Emperor Street, he waved frantically at a passing pickup. The truck passed him, then stopped. The driver, being cautious, opened his window a bit and listened as Andrew told his story. “I just got robbed,” the kid told the guy. “Get in,” the Good Samaritan responded. He drove Andrew home, where they relayed the night’s events to Andrew’s mother, Danielle Cole. Someone dialled 911. The police responded and dispatched a canine team to Lord Durham Park. But the bandits were long gone. ••• Andrew’s experience is typical of teens who have been targeted in what cops call street level robberies. While such mug- gings occur throughout the region, the issue is particularly acute in the communi- ties of Ajax and Pickering, where Durham police have a dedicated street level rob- bery team, headed up by Detective Dan McKinnon. He said the robberies often involve teens ganging up to target other teens, most often looking to steal smart- phones. “It’s bullying. A lot of the time it’s a swarming,” Det. McKinnon said. “It’s groups preying on vulnerable kids.” Statistics for the years 2008 to 2012 show an average of 134 street level robberies per year in the community, ranging from a low of 126 in 2008 to 142 in 2009. There were 134 in 2012. For Detective Constables Tim Gillman and Tom Kollard, members of the street robbery team, tracking down suspects can be difficult. Perpetrators often wear dis- guises, and victims are traumatized; some- times they’re afraid of retribution if they co-operate with police. Cops pursue each case and hold all per- petrators accountable, no matter what their level of involvement. “This is a major offence,” said Det.- Const. Gillman. “As small as their role is, they could end up with a charge of rob- bery. It’s an extremely serious offence that can affect them for a long time.” Robbery is a crime of violence; the use of intimidation and force makes it so. Police in Durham see varying levels of force employed. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of gang- ing up on a victim, as was the case when a 14-year-old Ajax paper boy was robbed by four teens as he collected money on his route last Nov. 10. The bandits showed the kid a knife. Just a few days later, on Nov. 14, a 15 year old in Ajax was punched and robbed of his phone. In another recent incident, a teen- ager was cut with a knife during a robbery. Such violence, or even the mere threat of it, can have a profound effect on victims, said Det.-Const. Kollard. “It depends on the kid. We’ve had kids who need psychological counselling,” he said. “They’re afraid to leave the house.” Perhaps even more alarming, some teens respond to their victimization by becom- ing perpetrators. “We do see it, victims becoming accused,” Det.-Const. Kollard said. “The worst thing you can do is emascu- late a teenaged boy.” The incentive for many youth-related robberies seems to be obtaining smart- phones, the officers said. Both personal computer and status symbol, the phones are much-desired. “Kids don’t understand the value of the phones they’re carrying around,” Det.- Const. Gillman said. “They don’t under- stand the value to a thief. “It’s like walking through a park with a handful of cash. You’re going to be a tar- get.” He’s hoping service providers can bolster crime prevention efforts by implement- ing measures, such as those adopted in the United Kingdom, that see phones shut down when they’re reported stolen. He reasons that if a phone is rendered useless, the incentive to commit a crime to get one will be negated. “If they would just not reactivate these stolen phones, essentially they become paperweights,” Det.-Const. Gillman said. In the absence of such measures, police advise teens and parents to be aware of the potential for theft. They recommend recording information about the phone, such as its unique International Mobile Equipment Identity number, to assist with recovery. And kids need to be cognizant of the potential of being targeted for their phones. That means being careful about displaying them, and being aware of their surroundings to avoid peril, the officers said. “Be smart,” Det.-Const. Kollard advised. Andrew’s mother Danielle Cole was, understandably, upset over the robbery -- probably more so than Andrew himself. Born and raised in south Ajax, she’s seen her neighbourhood change over the years, and the shift has brought urban problems, she said. “More attention has to be brought to this,” Ms. Cole said. “I think about it all the time. It has to be a community effort. We have to let these people know it’s not acceptable.” She’d like to see residents being observant in their neighbourhoods, looking out for scenarios that don’t look right. If potential criminals know the eyes of the community are on them they’ll be less inclined to carry out their activities, Ms. Cole said. “We need to make them aware we don’t accept this and we’re keeping an eye out for it,” she said.

ON GEORGIAN BAY newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham Plans for new Greenwood conservation lands moving ahead MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Former aggregate extraction and landfill sites will be getting new life in Pickering as part of the expanded Greenwood Conservation Lands. At an executive committee meeting on May 13, representatives of the Toronto and Region Conservation detailed their master plan for the lands to Pickering councillors. “This is a very large greenspace that links Pickering to the municipality of Ajax and will be, as the community develops and evolves, something the residents of Pickering can real- ly enjoy and experience,” said Mike Bender, manager of conservation lands for the TRCA. The former Greenwood Conservation Area is being expanded with lands given to the TRCA from the City of Toronto, including for- mer landfill and aggregate mining sites, which the organization is working to restore. The newly expanded and renamed Greenwood Conservation Lands will total 677 hectares of protected greenspace. “The former conservation lands were in Ajax, with the new acquisition that came to us that bolts up the entire property and now there’s an equal amount of property in Ajax and Pickering,” Mr. Bender said. “This is quite a large land base that will serve the residents of the new community of Seaton very well given the proximity.” About 67 per cent of the lands will be classi- fied as nature reserve lands, which is the most sensitive and highly protected land catego- ry. The conservation area will also include a 40-kilometre trail system with nine trail heads and parking lots, an accessible fishing plat- form, off-leash dog park, an expansion of the Pickering Museum Village and a new com- munity park in Pickering. The estimated cost of implementing plans for the lands is $3.4 million, which will come mostly from grants and revenue from the Brock landfill site restoration. TRCA will be setting up stewardship com- mittees in the fall to monitor the implementa- tion of the plans. Councillors called the plan good news for Pickering. “I think we found a home for a lot of really good uses and I’m very proud of this land,” said Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, who was on the committee that helped advise TRCA on the plan. “Moving forward we’ll have to have discussions looking at the budget and how we’ll implement this plan but now over- all everyone left this process happy.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens *This is A Limited Time Offer* Cemetery Programs, Cremation Lot For 2 People Everyone is Approved Per Month Over 48 Months Starting at$25 Traditional Burial Lot For 2 Caskets Everyone is Approved Per Month Over 48 Months Starting at$53 541 Taunton Rd.at Church St.,Ajax 905-427-5416 •www.pineridgecemetery.ca Offers End Soon!

Infections produce a characteristic “coffee ground”like substance in the ear canal &are quite itchy.Signs you may notice if your pet has ear mites are head shaking, scratching,holding ears unusually &debris in the ear canal.The mites can also live on the head &face of the animal.Diagnosis is made by examining debris from the pet’s ear canal under a microscope to look for the mites. Treatments include topical drops in the ears,topical skin treatments,and regular ear cleanings.If you suspect your pet has ear mites,seek advice from your vet &never use over the counter products as many are ineffective &can even be toxic.For more information please visit: Ask the Vet:What are ear mites?

Lyndsay-Lee Quinn /MetroLand Scarlet tanagers make winter worth it “I was huddling alongside a soccer field at Conlin Meadows Park, north Oshawa, on Sunday, in the wind, rain and yes, ice pellets, when my niece, mother of the 12-year-old goalie we were cheering on, mentioned she’d seen an awesome bird she wanted to ask me about. “It was red. All red,” she exclaimed. “But it wasn’t a cardinal. Didn’t have that funky crest, and the red went right over here.” She ran her hand over her mass of strawberry-blond curls. “And its song was different.” Though she couldn’t quite remember how it went. I asked if its wings were black, and she didn’t know. She’d seen the red bird from below, perched in the top of her cherry tree. I was pleased for a lot of reasons. First, that she’d noticed the bird and tried to identify it. Mother of three, she’s one of my best hopes of turning the next gen- eration on to nature, and she’s doing a great job. Second, that she was thrilled to see such a beautiful bird. I knew exactly how she felt. And third, I was pleased because I suddenly knew what I wanted to write about this week. What I wished every reader would see in their yard or favourite woods this weekend, up close, in full sunlight. My niece Jennifir’s red bird was a male scarlet tanager, one of the most stun- ning birds in the Americas, possibly the world. Catch a glimpse of this bril- liant midsize songbird climbing among unfurling leaves in the canopy and you’ll swear it glows. I’ve seen five tana- gers this week, because they’re migrat- ing through Durham right now. I know what they sound like -- a robin with a sore, raspy throat -- so I know where to look. And I’m highly motivated. Seeing a scarlet tanager is the greatest reward ever for making it through a Canadian winter. Who minds six months of cold and darkness when spring returns, and with it, scarlet tanagers? Female tanagers are an olive-green, the colour of opening leaves. Evolu- tion has designed them for disappear- ing in the leafy forests where they nest and feed. And arranged that the males’ scarlet plumage molts to a camouflage yellow-green before they fly back to the tropics, where many winter in forests of the Amazon and foothills of the Andes. Both genders have a rather stubby silver beak, perfect for snatching insects and picking berries. All birds have unique features, and quite a few are truly beautiful. Rose- breasted grosbeaks, Blackburnian war- blers, indigo buntings, ruby-throats ... Ontario is being flooded with gems at the moment. But the most beautiful of all? Scarlet tanagers, which migrate on into the Oak Ridges Moraine and cottage country, and get lost among the leaves. We’ve gotta find and admire them now.

Margaret Carney Out Walking Keep Durham pets safe from fire Think of pets when planning fire escape A couple of fire alarms at my building over the past week have really bothered me. Especially when I was not able to retrieve my cats from under the bed. Luckily, they were false alarms, so me and my cats were fine. But I cringe to think what would have happened if one were real. After considering all of the advice peo- ple generously gave when I posed the question on my Kristen’s Kritters Face- book page, I’ve decided to go with put- ting a frame around the centre of the bed. This way, my cats can’t get into the mid- dle, but they can still find safety under the bed when they want to hide. I took this into consideration when one Facebook user said while blocking off a bed can work, it does take away a hid- ing place. The kitties may end up finding some random place, leaving you franti- cally trying to find them in case of a fire. Hopefully this solution will be a happy medium. This all got me thinking about fires more than usual. I love that more fire departments are getting oxygen masks specially made for pets. But here are ways pet owners should be prepared at home, according to petside.com: * Keep leashes and carriers on hand. Leashes should always be kept in the same place so they can be quickly locat- ed. The same goes for pet carriers. They won’t do much good at the bottom of a pile of junk in the basement, or in your storage locker in your apartment build- ing if it’s on fire. * Make a pet emergency kit, including a bag of food, bottled water, a crate for small pets and a leash for large dogs. A cat’s kit should also include litter and a box. * Get stickers for either your window or inside your front door to let firefighters know the number and types of pets in the home. * Conduct regular drills so you’re ready if the real thing ever happens. Here are some tips to avoid fires, according to cesarsway.com: * Extinguish candles, open flames, when not in the room. * Walk around your home and look for areas where pets might start fires inad- vertently, such as the stove knobs, loose wires and other potential hazards. * Pets left alone can’t escape, so con- sider using monitored smoke detec- tors. They’re connected to an emergen- cy response centre with people on hand who can call the fire department in your absence. * Keep young pets away from spaces where they can get trapped.

Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering part- nered with other elementary schools to make sure that the new wave of Grade 9 students entered the school this fall prepared and confident. The annual two-hour Making the Right Choic- es event brings Grade 8s together with senior high school students for advice and knowledge, from recent first-hand experience. Grade 8 students were divided into about 18 small groups, each led by one or two Grade 11 or 12 student mentors. The senior students discussed a range of topics such as the challenges of meeting so many new peo- ple, being intimidated by homework and exams and peer pressure, along with labeling and racial issues, which they say happen more frequently in high school. “Always be true to who you are and remem- ber that yes, people are going to put labels on us, but you are more than those labels,” reminded vice-prin- cipal of Sir John A. Macdonald Public School, Nan- zeen Dindar. Grade 8 teacher Terri Williams from Bayview Heights Public School is a graduate of Pine Ridge and didn’t have this type of orientation when she was in Grade 8. “I had to rely a lot on my older sister,” she said. “You definitely felt alone,” she explained, as it was impossible for her sister to help her with every step of the transition into high school. When Ms. Williams takes her kids back from the event, she said it can be difficult to move on with her regular teaching, as kids want to discuss what classes they plan to take in the fall, the clubs and teams they’ll join, and questions about Ms. Williams’ per- sonal experience at the school. Grade 8 student Autriya Irania says she is looking forward to high school. “I’m more excited to get away from old habits,” she said, also mentioning she isn’t nervous about not having the sup- port of a family member who is in high school. Among other things, Autriya said the orientation reassured her not to be afraid of moving away from regular friends in elemen- tary school. The rest of the morning events included videos, activities and discussions on cyber bullying and tobacco and substance abuse. PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Spring is finally, and while you may be able to put winter behind you, your vehicle can’t until you’ve brought it into Diamond Shine. Over the winter, your shoes and boots have brought lots of snow, slush and salt into your vehicle. The salt and dirt can get into the upholstery and ruin it if it’s not removed properly. At Diamond Shine, they will shampoo your carpets and remove all the traces of winter! You can also opt to have your fabric protected, allowing you to enjoy the warmer months worry free. Don’t let salt and spilled drinks ruin your interior! Spring is also a great time to come in and have your vehicle waxed. This will not only give it a beautiful shine, but will help protect the paint from the sun’s rays and the rain. Diamond Shine offers a package that fits every budget, from a wash starting at just $19.95 to complete detailing. A Diamond Shine car wash is nothing like the car washes you can drive through. The vehicle is hand washed, using high quality soap, and hand dried with a chamois to achieve a brilliant shine. The difference can be seen in the details! It’s called detailing for a reason. At Diamond Shine, their showroom package leaves no small space untouched. To achieve a showroom look, they use toothbrushes and Q-Tips to get to the hard to reach areas. They only use the best products, to ensure superior results. “We all work hard to afford our vehicles, so it’s worth the small investment to maintain them and keep them looking great,” says Joanne Elawar of Diamond Shine. “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.” 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).

Now, a few months later, she’s preparing to open an ice cream store. “I sat and watched everyone walking by and decided I wasn’t ready to retire yet,” Ms. Culver said of her decision to purchase retail space across from her home in Pickering’s Nautical Village. She’s transformed the store into Grand- Dad’s ice cream shop with the help of her daughter Michlynn Walton. “It’s a funny story because on a whim Mom said, ‘go ask if we can buy that store’ and the answer was yes, so it was kind of magical how it happened all of a sudden,” Ms. Walton said, noting the papers were signed about a week after they inquired about the store in Octo- ber. “It was the right time and the right place,” Ms. Culver said. The pair took possession of the store at 597 Liverpool Rd., formerly a conve- nience store, in March and spent about a month gutting the interior to transform it into a traditional ice cream parlor. “My husband was a sailor so the whole store is designed around a nauti- cal theme,” said Ms. Culver, who moved to Pickering several years ago after the death of her husband. Mr. Culver’s legacy looms large at the store, which was named after him by Ms. Culver’s grandchildren. The business is a family affair, with Ms. Culver as owner, Ms. Walton managing the store and sev- eral grandchildren working behind the counter, as well as all the help and sup- port provided by family and friends. “We wanted to honour the memory of my dad, he was a fabulous granddad and he would’ve loved being near the water and being around all the kids,” Ms. Walton said. “It’s something for us to be proud of and for Dad to be proud of, we’re all very excited.” For Ms. Culver, the store is a new begin- ning. “I have a reason to get up now; it gave me something I like to do,” she said. “I think I’ve always been young at heart and young thinking, this just proves you’re never too old to do something.” GrandDad’s features a retro candy store along with 48 ice cream flavours and creations such as Whiz-ards, a blended candy and ice cream treat, milk shakes and more. PICKERING -- Anne Colver, a 73-year-old Pickering resident, recently decided to start her own business, partnering with her daughter, Michlynn Walton on an ice cream shop and retro candy store in Pickering’s Nautical Village. jason liebregts / MetrolanD ‘‘It was the right time and the right place.’ Anne Culver, grandmother, new entrepreneur Lake Scugog ice hut mystery solved CHRIS HALL chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Al Bolduc didn’t give too much thought to his old ice hut until he saw it on the news. The Bowmanville man was watch- ing television with some of his pals at work earlier this year when he spotted a familiar-looking ice-fishing hut included on a stamp in a new release by Cana- da Post. “I knew it right away -- that was my old ice hut,” said Mr. Bolduc, who works at General Motors. “I didn’t even know someone had taken a picture of it until I saw it on the news.” It’s a hard hut to miss. The winter fishing shack is painted red and white like a Cana- dian flag and is also adorned with red maple leaves -- a perfect piece of Cana- diana that was captured by Alberta photog- rapher Tim Van Horn while it sat on Lake Scugog in 2009 and then included on a new stamp series earlier this year by Canada Post. “It’s bizarre, but it’s cool to have a picture of my old hut on a stamp,” said Mr. Bolduc, 44, who admits to having a copy of the stamp tucked away among his personal keepsakes. The Bowmanville man took pos- session of the unique shack in 2007 when it was given to him by a neighbour of his sister. It had been used on Lake Simcoe for years and needed a few touch-ups -- some new aluminum on the roof and repairs to the windows -- but Mr. Bolduc never played with the paint job. “I left it that way,” he said of the Canadian- themed colouring. “That was very unique -- that said it was my hut. It was easy to spot.” An avid fisherman, Mr. Bolduc says he gave the hut away in 2011 to another angler and pretty much forgot about the shack until this year. “It was a surprise to see it again on a stamp,” he said. Mr. Van Horn has been criss-crossing Canada since October 2008, taking photos of everyday people for his ‘Canadian Mosa- ic’ project -- a tribute to the country’s 150th birthday in 2017. On a recent return visit to Port Perry, Mr. Van Horn expressed an interest in tracking down the owner of the ice hut, whose portrait he sold to Canada Post for the stamp series. When told about Mr. Bolduc on Monday, Mr. Van Horn, who had moved on to Toron- to to shoot more photos, said that he’d like to meet with the Bowmanville man in the near future. “is that a cloud hanging over my head?” “hey...what the heck is that?” 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 y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 18 AP 170 Westney Rd.S,Ajax sisleyhyundai.com 8666--65500-11118 HWY. 401 N WE S T N E Y R D .

Designed to provide a first-hand look at the innovative applied research projects the college cur- rently has underway, the May 1 event highlighted research in the areas of entrepreneurship, engineer- ing, education, health care, informa- tion technology and the humanities. Faculty, staff, students and indus- try collaborators joined the college’s Office of Research Services and Innovation as students from various departments showcased their work. ORSI opened in 2009, making way for a strong applied research envi- ronment at Durham College. The college said in a press release the cre- ativity and expertise of faculty, staff and students, has allowed the col- lege to build relationships with sev- eral community partners and small- and medium-sized businesses, and launch several collaborations. One forward thinker who has col- laborated with local businesses is Anthony Smeelen, a third-year stu- dent of the computer programmer analyst program. He was a co-win- ner of the student researcher award for his work with start-up compa- nies. Mr. Smeelen designed website systems for two separate compa- nies during his last year of school. After looking at the business’s spe- cific needs, meeting with the clients and gathering all of the necessary information, he produced websites uniquely designed for each compa- ny. As a mature student looking to take on a second career, Mr. Smeelen is pleased he chose Durham College. He’s specifically grateful for, “the entire ORSI, the research projects, the funding. It’s invaluable to the students because it gives the stu- dents real world experience doing an entire project.” He’s even been asked to take on another research project over the summer. Nicole Ottley, the other winner of the student researcher award, was “very excited and very surprised.” The third-year biotechnology technologist stu- dent conducted tests on a water testing device that claimed to reduce the amount of microbio- logical organisms that are in a water sample. “Basically the point is this device will allow you to use less chemicals in the water,” she said. She was thrilled to be selected to work on the project. “It was definitely a great opportunity because it allowed me to get actual hands-on work in the field that I want to do,” she said. “It was really, really a good opportunity.” Both Mr. Smeelen and Ms. Ottley will graduate this spring. 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 y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 20 AP Free OA KS Concrete Products DIY Seminar Saturday June 1, 2013 at 10:00am www.arntstopsoil.com Visit Our Superstore in Whitby 4400 Halls Road at Lakeridge and Ta unton (The edge of the Pickering-Ajax/Whitby border) CUSTO MER CARE AND ORDER DESK 905-683-0887 • 416-984-4332 • 905-655-0601 30 - Y E A R W A R R A N T Y !

Based in his studio, built by his own hands in north Uxbridge, Head has been steadily working away at making music better over the two decades he has been in the music business. “I always try to get what I can, get the best I can get it,” he says. “It’s the years behind me that brings things into perspective for the bands I work with. I only work with two or three bands a year now and only because I want to. “Right now I’m working with Kill The Messenger; guy’s got the golden voice, unbelievable voice. They’re a young band, I think they can go places, they’re opening for The Casualties. Brett (Lavender) is the most positive person I know, for a yellie band, a screamo band.” The 43 year old says he works with 90’s-style power punk bands like Sudbury’s Inner City Surfers and Marilyn’s Vitamins from Orangeville. Head also plays in a cou- ple of bands himself, The Fairmounts and Four Square. Four Square began in ‘97 with Tre- blecharger’s Trevor McGregor and Head but there have been membership changes in the interim. “We’ve put out a few records, toured Europe six times, put out albums in Japan and North America and Europe. I’ve just finished a new album myself, it’s a Four Square album, basically me and I brought in some people to play on it -- Tim Oxford from The Arkells plays drums on i t , Craig Toutant plays drums on a couple of tracks. The last thing we did with that band was we toured Europe in December; Italy and Germany. We played five shows in nine days.” The Fairmounts, his other project, are a four piece with a Ramones-influenced sound. Head began his musical trip with the Kingpins in the early 90s before joining Trigger Happy and going on tour with Down By Law. After Trigger Happy he joined Red Fisher in Winnipeg -- their drummer, Jaison Tait, ended up in the Weakerthans. “I spent one winter there and got ... out -- too cold,” he says. Upon returning to Pickering, Head began building his studio. He had some equip- ment and would travel to record bands but a home base seemed the best option. “I needed the closest thing to a trade that I could get. After doing sound and always been into recording, I got a bank loan and bought equipment. I got the bug, I love it.” Head says he’s too old to skate now and while always doing punk can get grinding, he’s still drawn to it. “It’s the ethics,” he says. DURHAM -- Durham music producer/musician Simon Head, far left, with one of his bands, The Fairmounts. FACEBOOK.COM ‘It’s the years behind me that brings things into perspective for the bands I work with.’ Simon Head The Stellas play Ajax’s Deer Creek next week DURHAM -- Deer Creek hopes to become a venue for live music. And the Ajax golf and banquet facility is kicking things off in style on May 24 when The Stellas per- form. Based in Nashville, where they are songwriters, the Durham natives are Brad and Marylynne Stella, a married couple who were local music scene stalwarts before releasing their first self-titled CD in 2011. Also taking the stage at Deer Creek on May 24 are Lindsay Broughton of Brooklin and Patrick Dorie of Whitby. And while The Stellas likely won’t be there, there’s an after-party following the show at The Corral (433 Simcoe St S., Oshawa). Your ticket to the Deer Creek concert gets you in for free. Eve Jakubowski, sales director at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility, says hosting music and other events was a natural extension at Deer Creek. “The idea came from our customers,” she says. “A lot of people came to us and said, ‘Deer Creek is like a Las Vegas on the inside, you should be doing live per- formances’.” Jakubowski says she’s looking at other artists, and not just country music performers, she can bring to Deer Creek. “I’m taking things one step at a time because I’ve never done this before and Deer Creek has never done this before,” she says. You can buy tickets for the show (doors open at 7 p.m.) online at events- deercreek.eventbrite.ca. Keane invited to national basketball team tryout AJAX -- Kalisha Keane of Ajax is one of 29 invited athletes who will join the senior women’s national team staff and Canada Basketball personnel at McMaster Univer- sity for a May 17-19 tryout. Keane, a former standout at Michigan State, has played in Israel and Croatia, as well as with the San Antonio Silver Stars of the WNBA. The national team is coming off a success- ful season, having played against several of the best teams around the globe. On Can- ada Day in 2012, the team qualified for the London Olympic Games through a thrilling 71-63 victory over Japan at the FIBA world Olympic qualifying tournament for women. The victory paved the way for Team Cana- da’s return to the Olympic stage following a 12-year absence. At the London Games, the team showed determination and resolve in two hard- fought victories over host Great Britain and a strong Brazilian team. Their three single- digit losses in group play came against the strongest squads in London: France cap- tured the silver medal, Australia took home the bronze and Team Russia finished in fourth place. The first test for the 2013 edition of the team will come in an exhibition series as the women travel to Prague to face the Czech Republic national team. The team’s summer tour will span the globe with tournaments in Serbia, France, China and Brazil featur- ing some of the best teams in the world. The busy summer season will build toward the 2013 FIBA Americas championships as the team begins its journey to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. 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 y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Bobb gets Cougared Speed Academy sprinter earns scholarship to Washington State BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Brandon Bobb credits his parents and his track coach for pushing him in the right direction when it came to making a full-time commitment to running track. That push went a long way, landing him a scholarship to Washington State Univer- sity, where the Ajax resident will become part of the Cougars track and field team beginning in September. “In the summer I would win most of my races, but there would always be a couple of guys that would beat me,” says Bobb of competing with the Pickering-based The Speed Academy, which former Olympian Tony Sharpe operates. “Tony said if I was really to put in the work and come train with him full-time, that I would start to beat those guys.” Until that point, running the 100m was only something Bobb did in the sum- mer to keep active, and only because the hockey season, his first passion, was over. But as he got older, he reached the point where he had to make a decision about his future, and track was going to give him the best shot at success. “I finally realized I had to take track seri- ously because I had more of an oppor- tunity of getting a scholarship,” says the Grade 12 student at St. Charles Garnier in Whitby. The 17 year old has reached the OFSAA high school championships each of the last three years, but has only really been dedicating his time to track since Grade 11. After having his times sent to Wash- ington State, Bobb made initial contact with assistant coach Ellannee Richardson through Facebook. He went on a visit in February and made the commitment. “With only two years of sprinting under his belt, Brandon Bobb has already reached great success on the track,” notes Richard- son on the school’s website. “Brandon has a tremendous amount of foot speed and will be an immediate contributor within our sprints program.” Head coach Rick Sloan adds: “Brandon is a neophyte when it comes to sprinting. It shows he has the power and leg speed as he’s very good at the 60-metres, and after conditioning and strengthening he will be able to carry that power through the lon- ger distances. I think we have a diamond in the rough.” After meeting the team, Bobb says he got a really good feeling, noting the atmo- sphere was similar to the one established at The Speed Academy. “I like how they surrounded their athletes academically,” he says of the most impor- tant part of the student-athlete equation. “It wasn’t just all about track. Track is 1B and academics is 1A. They have tutors for all their classes and they make sure you are doing well academically.” Bobb leaves in late-August, and will be studying business administration. On the track, he hopes to add the 200m to his skill set, as well as the running long jump, mak- ing him even more valuable to the team. AJAX -- Brandon Bobb, a member of The Speed Academy, has obtained a track scholarship to run at Washington State University.
