HURRY IN FORBESTSELECTION! TMSISLEYPickering councillors call for more transparency on OPG relicensing Hearings on five-year licence extension to begin Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Members of Durham Nuclear Awareness are calling the relicensing process for Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering nuclear facility into question ahead of upcoming hearings. Two members of the DNA group expressed concerns about OPG’s application for a five- year extension to its licence for operation of the Pickering nuclear generating station, cit- ing safety concerns and a lack of transparen- cy, at council. “I am concerned about the process at which Pickering council arrived at a consen- sus to support a five-year relicensing agree- ment with OPG,” DNA member Barbara Pulst wrote in a letter to the Canadian Nucle- ar Safety Commission, referring to a brief discussion at council’s April 22 meeting. “Such an important decision should have been put on the agenda and should have been discussed with prior notice to the councillors and the public. This was not the case as it was slipped in by Mayor (David) Ryan on Monday, April 22 at the eleventh hour under Other Business.” Ms. Pulst is referring to an announce- ment by Mayor Ryan at the April 22 meet- ing that OPG had agreed to fund an eco- nomic impact study on the retirement of the Pickering facility. At that time he also sought verbal agreement from councillors on sup- port for the relicensing application in order to submit a position before the April 29 com- menting deadline. Mayor Ryan pointed out there was nothing untoward in how the issue was brought to council, as councillors have the right to bring up information pertaining to city affairs in the “other business” portion of the meeting if it’s not on the agenda. “I’m very pleased to hear there seems to be a consensus that there’s no concern overall with the operation by OPG and its employ- ees, so obviously the concern is with the chair and I accept that,” he said of comments from fellow councillors suggesting the issue should have been put on the agenda. Residents also expressed concerns with emergency planning and safety, noting detailed safety inspections should be con- ducted to ensure the plant is capable of extending operations beyond the planned 210,000 hours provided for in the original licence. Hearings on the application are scheduled to begin May 29. 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 2 3 , 2 0 1 3 3 AP Are Headaches Controlling Yo ur Life? Living with headaches is tough. Day after day of being miserable, irritable, and looking a lot older than you really are.The frustration of knowing that your friends and family don’t understand what you’re going through. Add this to doctors’visits, MRI’s and CT scans -- which only come back with “normal”results. And that’s not all…trying one medication after another, feeling like you’re on a merry-go-round of drugs.

Could ThisDruglessTreatment Be Yo ur Headache Solution To o? Numerous studies have shown the benefits of spinal adjustments with headache patients. The Boline Study This study compared two groups of headache patients,half went for chiropractic adjustments, and the other half took amitriptyline, a medication often prescribed for the treatment of severe tension headache pain. After six weeks researchers found that chiropractic patients experienced almost no side effects. And only the chiropractic patients continued to report fewer headaches when treatment ended. The Duke Study Medical experts concluded that spinal manipulations resulted in almost immediate improvement for headaches.Patients also had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of headaches than a commonly prescribed medication Recurring HeadachesAre Not Normal No question…if you are having headaches then something is wrong.

A grant of $190,000 from the Federal Econom- ic Development Agency for Southern Ontario will help the Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity complete a $1.1-million revitalization project that will make the centre, and many of its outdoor features, fully accessible. “The TRCA has provided outdoor education pro- grams here for close to 40 years and in that time about 100,000 visitors have passed through,” said Uxbridge mayor and TRCA chairwoman Gerri Lynn O’Connor of the Westney Road facility. She recalled being at the centre with a group of Toronto students and seeing a look of absolute wonder on the face of one little boy. “I asked him what was wrong and he said ‘ma’am, I thought fish were square.’ He had never seen a fish before that wasn’t frozen,” she said. “I was moved to tears to think that some children don’t have access to nature like this. We want every- one to have the chance to come here and feel wel- come here.” The new funding announced on May 16 will go toward a planned renovation that will see the entire facility made accessible, along with outdoor improvements that will allow access to the land’s natural features, such as wheelchair platforms over the creek and smooth paths through the forest. “If we can ensure everyone who joins us can dip their toes in the creek then we truly will have achieved something,” Mayor O’Connor said. MP Chris Alexander praised the facility as an important element in conservation. “This effort is linked to many other efforts we are trying to take to make sure this isn’t here just for our children and our generation but for centuries to come,” he said of the natural landscape. “What this centre does is so important for the children of Durham and other areas. It shows them nature isn’t something distant off in the Northwest Territories, it’s right here. This is a fantastic natural asset.” Pickering Councillor David Pickles highlighted the necessity for the facility in the face of continued growth. “This facility serves an important role in educat- ing children throughout Pickering and Durham, as our population grows there’s going to be even more need for facilities like this,” he said. “The addition of measures to provide accessibility both indoors and outdoors to those with accessibility needs is fantastic.” The TRCA is about halfway to the $1.1-million goal, with plans to raise the rest through grants and private fundraising. Work onsite has begun with wetland restoration and indoor renovations are expected to be com- pleted over the coming winter, to be ready for stu- dents to return to the centre next spring. 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.•Tu es.•Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 www.furnituregalleries.ca *Credit equal to the value of the HST.Not valid on Floor Model Clearance or Best Value items.

Ms. Robinson, whose son Jeff Warne was murdered in 2008, turned to BFO for help dealing with her overwhelming grief. Years later, the Pickering woman con- tinues to give back to the organization. Having already raised $28,000 for BFO, she’s looking ahead to a run in support of the organization May 26. It’s expected 120 people will take to a three-kilometre route on Pickering’s Waterfront Trial to raise funds for BFO. Participants will run, walk and ride to support BFO in Durham Region, and in celebration of Jeff’s life. This is the fifth year local runners will come together to raise money for the organization. Ms. Robinson turned to BFO after Jeff’s murder in January 2008. Just 19, he was killed in cold blood during a home inva- sion robbery at his Pickering apartment. “This is the one organization that truly helped me,” Ms. Robinson said. “I didn’t know where to turn. I found my way to them and they truly did help.” Now Ms. Robinson works with BFO, counselling parents who have lost chil- dren to illness, accidents and violence. The organization, which is self-funded, provides support for families and indi- viduals touched by tragedy. Even as she helps others, Ms. Robinson continues to confront her own grief. “I get quite emotional, but I know it helps,” she said. “Every day is a struggle. You try to be as positive as possible, but there are so many triggers.” Participants will be gathering pledges up until the day of the run. They’ll hit the trail at 10:30 a.m. May 26. To help, contact Ms. Robinson at jeff- warne11@gmail.com. PICKERING -- Jeff Warne and his mother Denise Robinson.

The Claremont Outdoor Education Centre in north Pickering, owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity (TRCA), is undertaking a $1.1 million revitalization project to make the centre, including many of its outdoor features, fully accessible. To this end, a federal grant of $190,000 is coming from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontar- io. The funding is timely since the TRCA is roughly at the halfway point of its $1.1 million goal. It plans to raise the rest of the money through grants and private fundraising. A person in a wheelchair often has trou- ble negotiating the urban environment. And things don’t get any easier once they leave the city streets for the great outdoors. The rough terrain limits their ability to experience and enjoy the natu- ral world, something most of us take for granted. However the Claremont centre’s reno- vations include work outside of the build- ing, where wheelchair platforms over the creek and smooth paths through the for- est will make it accessible to all. We often forget that the natural world isn’t a distant place, but literally right in our own backyard. There are no impen- etrable barriers separating the urban and rural areas. Foxes, coyotes and opossums travel daily throughout the city and hawks and eagles soar overhead. And let’s not forget that five years ago a lost black bear wandered right into the heart of Pickering before being tranquilized and removed. Dramat- ic incidents such as that one are of course very rare, but serve to show that the wild world can be as close as where the bear was cornered, near the Pickering Town Centre. For a brief time while the bear was caged and awaiting transport out of the city, people had a chance to have a close encounter, an unforgettable experience for kids and adults alike. And it’s those close encounters with nature that are at the heart of what hap- pens at the Claremont Outdoor Education Centre. It’s a place where young people can experience an environment that’s for- eign to many inner-city kids. For some, it may represent an awakening that will lead them to become adults who not only appreciate and spend time in the country or the bush, but work towards preserving as much of it as they can. Even if that kind of transformation doesn’t occur, it’s important that young people of all abilities have the chance to sample a taste of the natural world. Unions, NDP still don’t get it To the editor: Re: ‘Opportunities missed in budget’, let- ter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May 12, 2013. Jim Freeman of the Durham Region Labour council has pegged this last bud- get as an austerity budget. Premier Wynne did not bring in an aus- terity budget. She brought in the same crap that her predecessor did. More debt, more money to debt ser- vice, more money to waste, and the party that claims to be for the working man, the NDP, is likely going to prop this govern- ment up because they are scared of the bogeyman. The truth is this unionized culture of stupidity has had its way with the public purse for the last decade and things are not better. Asking private industry and business to pay $14 an hour when they are being taxed out the ying yang is typical nonsense. I would love a raise, but my employer isn’t making more when his taxes go up. The fact unions can’t figure out gov- ernment can’t keep taking more is disap- pointing. Welcome to the former economic engine of Canada, where public sector unions and the Liberals keep pouring water in the gas. Mark Little Courtice What if it happened to you? To the editor: Re: ‘Profane Durham cop swiftly disci- plined, force contends’, news, durhamre- gion.com, May 8, 2013. This video is making me ashamed to be a Canadian citizen. My 17-year-old-daugh- ter pointed this video out to me. It is a hot topic at her high school. I am trying to teach her to respect law enforcement, and this video is evidence to the contrary. All law enforcement officers are being repre- sented here in the eyes of the public. As long as he remains in police ranks, the entire department has no credibility. It is equally disturbing that there is another police officer witnessing this, and he does nothing to stop it. The officer in question was docked two days’ pay. This is insufficient; it is bad optics. He was threatening to ruin someone’s life with false criminal charges. Had he carried out his threat, the person being threatened would experience life-changing damage. This calls into question any sworn testi- mony the constable has given in the past. He no longer has any credibility as a Crown witness. He is willfully provoking the per- son into a violent confrontation. If the per- son being threatened had reacted out of frustration, he would most certainly have received bodily injury and criminal charg- es. What if this happened to you?

A few celestial events to look for- ward to in 2013: May 25: Penumbral lunar eclipse. The moon passes through the Earth’s partial shadow, or penumbra, and will darken slightly. May 28: Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. Conjunctions are rare events where two or more objects will appear extremely close together in the night sky. The planet Mercury will also be vis- ible nearby. Look to the west near sun- set. July 27, 28: Delta Aquarids meteor shower. The Delta Aquarids can pro- duce up to 20 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by debris left behind by comets Marsden and Kracht. The shower runs annually from July 12 to Aug. 23 and peaks this year the night of July 27 and morning of July 28. The moon will block out most of the faint meteors, but you should still be able to catch a few good ones. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. August 11, 12: Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by comet Swift-Tuttle. The shower runs annually from July 17 to Aug. 24, peaking this year the night of Aug. 11 and the morning of Aug. 12. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. August 27: Neptune at Opposition. The blue giant planet will be at its clos- est approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the sun. Due to its extreme distance from Earth, it will only appear as a tiny blue dot in all but the most powerful telescopes. November 28: Comet ISON clos- est approach to the sun. Newly discov- ered comet ISON will make its closest approach to the sun on Nov. 28. If the comet survives its encounter with the sun, it could be one of the brightest comets in recent memory. In October it will start to be visible to the naked eye and will continue to get brighter until Nov. 28. Some astronomers are already calling it the comet of the century. Source: www.seasky.org Starry, starry nights in Durham STARRY from page 1 “When you live in the city, you can maybe only see a handful of stars,” says Mr. Cook. “It was just magical. I fell in love with (astronomy) right then.” It’s a passion that’s stuck with the Newcastle man for his entire life, in particular the past 35 years which has seen his interest and knowledge of the night sky grow to the point where he now serves as president of the Durham Region Astronomical Association (www. drastronomy.com). The DRAA was founded in 2001 after Durham stargazing enthusiasts tired of travelling to Toronto clubs. It was an instant success, growing to almost 100 members in less than two years. “It’s never been easier to get into astronomy,” says Mr. Cook, crediting the vast amounts of information that can be found on the Internet. Like any hobby, he says, it depends on how much time, effort and money you want to put into it. There are people who simply want to stare at the stars, pointing to places they’ll never visit, and others who delve deep into the scientific end of astrono- my. “It’s as easy as watching TV,” says Mr. Cook. “Like any hobby, it just depends on how far you want to take it. There’s a whole gamut of what you can do.” For beginners, the DRAA president suggests just picking up a good pair of binoculars and looking up into the night sky. There’s no need to purchase a pric- ey telescope right off the bat, stresses Mr. Cook. “Lay on the ground on a beach towel and just take a look around,” he says. “There’s lots to see.” The DRAA serves as a resource for astronomers of all levels, providing members with opportunities to meet and discuss their findings during regu- lar meetings at the Whitby library, but also prides itself on its public outreach efforts to share the world of astronomy. “We try and involve literally every seg- ment of society, from the very youngest to the oldest,” says Mr. Cook, noting the club jumps at offers to share its knowl- edge everywhere it can, from schools and service clubs to Scouting groups and seniors’ centres. Various workshops are also held to teach astronomy enthusiasts how to use telescopes, find things in the sky and analyze stars. It’s not necessary to own a telescope to join the club. The DRAA also secured a government grant in 2005, which allowed it to pur- chase special equipment that projects what is seen through a telescope onto a screen or monitor. “We want to attract people, especial- ly youth and women,” says Mr. Cook. “Astronomy is dominated pretty much by middle-aged white men and we want to change that.” The DRAA is also working on light pol- lution abatement, trying to convince various levels of government to enact bylaws and policies to lower outdoor lighting that brightens the night sky and is essentially a waste of hydro, says Mr. Cook. “We want to focus light where we need it and not spill light where it’s a nuisance and a waste of energy,” he says. With a seemingly endless supply of stars to gaze at, there’s always plenty to look at in the night sky. “It’s a crazy, big place for sure... space is so much bigger than we ever thought,” says Mr. Cook. “It’s just mind-boggling and there’s lots of neat stuff yet to find. “The sky’s the limit on what we’re going to find out.” OSHAWA -- Kevin Martin checked out the moon through a telescope at Lakeview Park. Members of the Durham Region Astronomical Association set up telescopes to give passersby a closer look at the sun, moon and, as the sky grew darker, Saturn.

Lyndsay-Lee Quinn /MetroLand Beautiful plumage on those warblers Not just another pretty face, the wood- warblers. But before you get to what else makes these little gems of the bird world special, you’ll likely spend a lot of time gaz- ing in wonder at their plumage, distracted by their beauty. About two dozen species of some of the most gaudy and colourful birds in Canada are stopping off to rest and feed in Durham woods this week. Finding them is like hunting for treasure. Yellow, blue, orange, black, red, green -- they come in a wide variety of jewel tones. The wonderful thing about warbler migra- tion is that a dozen of these attractive lit- tle birds could be feeding in the same tree, hopping about, snatching insects with their pointed little beaks. I was gazing at a blue-winged warbler the other day, and like every year when I see one, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous it was, its slate-blue wings barred with white, its black eye-lines setting off a head so golden it seemed to glow. Chestnut-sid- ed warblers have a golden crown, too, and cinnamon stripes running down the sides of their white chest. Yellow warblers are a sunshine yellow all over, except for fine red pinstripes streaking their breast. Magno- lias sport a black mask and velvety black stripes dripping down their golden fronts. And so it goes. Bay-breasted warblers are a delicious composite of cream and chest- nut; black-and-whites are adorned with crisp, classy streaks. You could go on and on, mesmerized by the garb of these small, active insect-eaters without ever looking past their surface beauty. But not only does each warbler species have its own song, which helps you find them in the leaves above, they’re each heading to their own specific habitat niche, where they continue their job of keeping insect populations in check. A mixed flock in your yard today will be spread across Canada’s forests, busily mating, nesting and eating bugs, next week. Pine warblers nest up in the tops of tall pines -- no surprise. Ceruleans live in the canopy of mature deciduous trees on floodplains and other wet areas, so high the males’ stunning blue feathers like- ly blend with the sky. Blackburnians sing their lispy songs from the tops of mixed mature woods, such as Ganaraska, while black-throated greens head for conifers. Chestnut-sided warblers go for stands of younger deciduous trees with openings; you’ll find them in campgrounds, helping keep down blackfly and mosquito hordes. Common yellowthroats skulk about in low, tangled vegetation near water, while palm warblers breed in spruce bogs far to the north. Sadly, numbers of many warblers are in steep decline, due to logging and other human pressures on their woodland homes. My favourite of all, Canada war- bler, with its yellow spectacles and black necklace on its golden throat, has been declared “threatened” due to loss of leafy forests where it nests.

Margaret Carney Out Walking For the love of birds in Durham Local bird society includes colourful characters It was pretty clear that Krissy had a crush on Pete at the Durham Avicultural Society meeting I attended last week. The female cockatoo bopped her head up and down in excitement when the male of the same breed entered the Rotary Park Pavilion in Ajax for the monthly meeting. The group of bird enthusiasts meets monthly to discuss important topics, mingle and host interesting guests. At this meeting someone from reptile zoo Reptilia came with five different reptiles. (More about these crit- ters in an upcoming column). The group also loves to take birds into nursing or retirement homes, or to visit groups such as Scouts. Members range from pet bird owners to serious breeders. The meeting was as lively as the colours of the birds themselves. The room contained all sorts of the feathered creatures, from cockatoos to cockatiels, some in cages, and others perching on their owners’ shoulders or fingers. According to the people I talked to, each bird has a distinct personality. “We did not know how social birds really are,” said Karen Smith, the club’s secretary. She got a grey cockatiel for her daughter when she was 10. “They really think they’re a part of your flock,” said Karen. Shannah Reid, the goodwill ambassador for the club, had her cinnamon conures in tow for the meeting. “They definitely have personalities,” she said. She said her father, Ron Reid, the president of the club, says birds are like potato chips. “You can’t have just one,” she laughed. One of his birds, an Australian king parrot, is a rare breed in Canada. Elaine Manley has owned birds for 28 years, and compared birds as pets to John Belushi as a friend. “They’re messy, they’re ungrateful and they’ll bite you,” she laughed. “But there’s just something about them. They’ll groom you. They’ll groom your eye- lashes.” Her favourite birds are budgies because “they’re beautiful, they have so many colours.” Marg Bonefant, the owner of Krissy, took in the cockatoo when the previous owner could no longer care for her. “I love her to pieces, but she’s ear piercing,” she said, adding the bird has a great vocabu- lary. ‘I love you,’ ‘Night night’ and ‘I’m a good girl,’ are a few of her sayings. It was a great, entertaining and lively meet- ing. Memberships range from $15 to $35 per year, and include discounts to numerous pet stores in Durham. Everyone is welcome to check out a meeting before purchasing a membership. DAS meets every second Tues- day of the month, except July and August. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the meeting gets under way at 7:30 p.m. Visit birdclub.ca for more information and upcoming events.

Former Canadian Press journalist Dale Patter- son, 60, released his book last month called ‘15 Minutes of Fame: History’s One-Hit Wonders’. The book features more than 150 stories of peo- ple including criminals, athletes, politicians and others in all walks of life who were thrown brief- ly into the spotlight with headlines. The book also includes mentions of where subjects found them- selves after the limelight burned out. “It’s part of the narrative -- not just what hap- pened but what happened after,” said Mr. Pat- terson who repeatedly referenced his intrigue of where people wound up. “You hear about the fame, you hear about what happened, but rarely hear about what happened after.” Mr. Patterson joined the Canadian Press in the 1970s during his last year of studying journalism at Ryerson University. His position there turned into a 35-year career of writing and broadcast. He also was a weekly host on CBC’s FM-108 for five years. In 2010 Mr. Patterson retired from Canadian Press. “You know when you’re ready. I wanted the opportunity to write books...I don’t think you ever leave (writing),” he said. “As a journalist you’re always writing.” Mr. Patterson is already planning his next book, which he says may tell the untold stories of “the bridesmaids and runner-ups in history,” he said. He cited astronaut Michael Collins as one exam- ple, who orbited the moon in the Apollo 11 as Neil Arm- strong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the sur- face and into history. “When my daughter ever asks me a question about his- tory I never give her the short answer. I always give her the long answer,” said Mr. Patterson, who explained his fascination with history. He also wrote the book ‘What Time of Day Was That? History by the Minute’, in 2001, pinpointing the exact time of famous historical events. Outside his writing career, Mr. Patterson is a member of the Annandale Curling Club in Ajax. He also operates rock radio scrapbook -- at www.rock- radioscrapbook.com -- a website featuring radio rock broadcasts from the ’50, ’60s and ’70s.

Known as ‘chemical messengers’ travelling through the body, hormones guide complex processes like growth and development, metabolism and reproduction. They also affect the functioning of the immune system and even have an impact on behav- iour, feelings and emotions. One hormone in particular is often misunderstood: testosterone. Here are a few common myths debunked: Myth: Testosterone is only used to enhance sports performance: Athletes involved in ‘doping scandals’ over the years have given testosterone a bad rap. Testosterone is an important, naturally occurring hormone with necessary and beneficial functions in men – and it affects almost every aspect of a man’s body. It can also be used as a hormone replacement therapy when prescribed by a healthcare professional for the appropriate reasons. Myth: Low testosterone levels are normal in aging men: While testosterone levels tend to naturally decline in men as they age, hypogonadism, also known as low testosterone, is estimated to affect up to 25 per cent of men in Canada over the age of 40, and can lead to undesirable symptoms such as fatigue and energy loss, mood changes and reduced sexual desire. Low testosterone can be treated if levels are below normal and if there is a consistent evaluation of symptoms, so it is important that men speak with their doctor. Myth: Only men produce tes- tosterone: While testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens, it occurs naturally in both men and women. In fact, the ovaries produce both estrogen and testosterone. Myth: Most cases of erectile dysfunction (ED) are caused by low testosterone: In most cases, ED can be linked to a vascular problem. Howev- er, androgen does play a role in erections and low testosterone is sometimes linked with ED.

Warm weather enthusiasts should keep safety top of mind when they’re out camping, boating and barbecuing. CSA Group, a leader in testing and certification, gives these tips on how to stay safe all summer: Camping Stoves and Lanterns • Fuel-burning camping equipment such as stoves, lanterns and outdoor cookers should only be lit outdoors and at least 3 metres (10 feet) from tents, combustible materials and vehicles. Never light a stove or lantern inside a tent or vehicle. • Before use, carefully inspect parts for leaks, blockages or damage. • Keep loose, flammable clothing away from open flames. Carefully monitor children and pets around stoves and lan- terns. Boats and Cottages • Ensure that boats and cottages are equipped with proper emergency safety equipment, including first aid kits and fire extinguishers, and carbon monoxide and fire alarms. • When first opening your cottage, carefully inspect all appliances for damage from rodents or insects. • Always wear a personal flotation device when on the water. Never consume alcohol while operating any vehicle. Outdoor Gas Barbecues • Before firing up your barbecue for the first time, carefully inspect burners and burner tubes for blockages due to dirt, grease, insects or rust buildup. Clean or replace any blocked parts or have a certified technician make repairs. • Propane cylinders must be inspected and re-qualified every 10 years in Canada. A date stamp on the cylinder indicates when it was last qualified. Don’t use a rusty or damaged cylinder. If in doubt, have your tank replaced. • When purchasing or installing a gas barbecue, make sure that it carries the mark of an approved certification organi- zation, such as CSA Group, indicating that it has been tested to applicable national standards.

There are benefits to having new windows and doors. They improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls to come out and fix the installation from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. In fact, Durham Windows and Doors won the Platinum Award for Best Windows and Doors in the 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 36 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575 or visit the website at www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca.

Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRoland Photos staR tRek into daRkness ééééé The trouble with Star Trek After seeing the new Star Trek movie last weekend, my name is mud around the office and at home, and not Harry Mud. While everyone I’ve spoken to loved the new adventures of Kirk and Spock, I liked it. When they argued it was a great, great movie, I thought it was good. It took me a while to figure out why I wasn’t as enamoured with the film as friends and family were. There are two big reasons and a few smaller ones. Off the bat, I don’t like Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. He is too over the top for me. Even though my wife argues he is a better actor than William Shatner, I find him too abrasive and out of control to be the captain of Starfleet’s flagship. Without giving anything away with the story, my second concern is now that director J.J. Abrams has changed the future story line of Star Trek forever, to come up with an original story. I did love all the little nods to previous Trek stories from the Tribbles to Harry Mud, but it just wasn’t enough. Read the complete review at durhamregion.com.

Mike Johnston Managing Editor Movie Time Local youths serve up a hairy good time Papadopoulos to wrestle for Canada AJAX -- Braxton Papadopoulos will be part of the impressive lineup represent- ing Canada at the Battle of the Falls event in Niagara Falls on May 31. The event will be to help promote women wrestling, with Canada, USA and Ukraine taking part. The star-studded lineup includes a world champion, world medallists, Pan- American champions and medallists, FISU world medallists, as well as reigning 2013 Canadi- an champi- ons for each of the weight categories. Papado- poulous, of Ajax, who c o m p e t e s with Team Impact, won both the junior and senior Canadian championship titles in March. She also won the bronze medal at the 2012 cadet world championships. She will compete in the 59kg weight class in Niagara Falls. “We are all extremely excited and thankful to everyone that worked hard to put this event together. All we can do right now is stay positive and proud of our sport and this event is a great way to promote and bring awareness to how amazing wrestling really is,” said Papa- dopoulos in a press release. “It has been really encouraging watch- ing Canada and so many other countries working so hard and coming together in the hopes of saving Olympic wrestling.” 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 2 3 , 2 0 1 3 26 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Jr. players will pay to play Pickering Panthers, Whitby Fury to charge players next season Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The landscape of junior hock- ey is in store for huge changes this season with the announcement that teams will have the option to charge players for play- ing. While the fees that will be charged to players will vary from team to team in the Ontario Junior Hockey League, Whitby Fury GM Frank Robinson said his club will be charging players $3,300 all told, while Pickering Panthers GM/head coach Mike Galati said his club hasn’t decided on a number yet, but will in the next couple of weeks. This season the costs per player have been set at $1,500 for OJHL fees, plus $300 for OHA fees. Players on the Fury and Pan- thers have been responsible for paying those fees in the past, which teams have collected but forwarded along. Now play- ers can be charged an additional fee on top of that, which will stay with the teams. “The business model of junior hockey is broke,” said Robinson of the changing times. “The expenses are going way up and the revenues aren’t keeping up. Teams are (losing) over $50,000 a year and how many teams can do that? “You can say they can run a better busi- ness model. Yeah, I don’t deny that, but they don’t run a better business model so this is the best way of doing it.” With all of the costs factored in, Galati says operating and owning a junior hockey team is a daunting task. “It’s not cheap to run one of these teams. It takes a lot of money,” he says. “The kids will have to help with the commitment and help with the loss. It’s not for the owners to make money, because I don’t think any of them do. “With all the scholarships being award- ed to these kids and what they get in terms of ice time, equipment and sticks, profes- sional coaching, buses and all the extras, it wears on an owner.” Both agree that, essentially, players will be investing in themselves as they strive to get to the next level, whether that be the Ontario Hockey League, Canadian or U.S. university. In total, the Fury operate with a budget of $225,000 to $250,000, with the league ranging from $150,000 at the bottom end to $400,000 at the top, says Robinson. While Galati didn’t have an exact figure, he esti- mates the Panthers are around the same as the Fury. When word of charging players to play got out last week, Robinson said coach- es in the Jr. B leagues began posting their contact information, trying to entice play- ers who aren’t interested in paying to play junior hockey to join their respective teams. At this point, the Jr. B leagues don’t charge their players. A negative effect is certainly expected from some players, who will balk at the notion of paying, and choose other options, which could benefit Jr. C teams in the area like Bowmanville, Port Perry and Uxbridge. “From a hockey perspective, my big- gest worry is the kid that doesn’t get the power play and the penalty kill and is pay- ing the same fee,” says Robinson. “We have to overcome that. We haven’t encountered that yet, but we have to be prepared to deal with that.” Galati expects there will be some initial resentment from the older players who haven’t had to pay, but for newer play- ers, he points out that playing in the OJHL will be a discount for some minor hockey players, especially those coming out of the GTHL. “This is the league you want to play in, and as a player, I know myself, I wanted to play at the highest level,” he says. “It’s going to be something new, but at the end of the day, if they want to play Jr. A hockey, they are going to have to bite the bullet and help out.” ‘‘With all the scholarships being awarded to these kids and what they get in terms of ice time, equipment and sticks, professional coaching, buses and all the extras, it wears on an owner.’ Pickering Panthers GM/coach Mike Galati ‘‘From a hockey perspective, my biggest worry is the kid that doesn’t get the power play and the penalty kill and is paying the same fee. We have to overcome that.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try dif- ferent techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting abil- ity. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely effi- cient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says hom- eowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation. For more information, call Gordon Crawford at (905) 686-6880.
