The emerald ash borer has been making its way through Ontario since first being dis- covered in the Windsor area in 2002. Huge swaths of ash trees have been decimated, forcing municipalities and conservation authorities to spend heavily to battle the invaders. Over the next five years, Ajax is going to be spending about $2 million in the fight. This year, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority has earmarked $2.8 million bat- tling the insect. What’s worse is the bug won’t be eradicat- ed in Ontario, according to a TRCA report. “Complete eradication of EAB has been deemed impossible, but advances in detec- tion and treatment may help to lessen the devastating impact that will likely be observed in the next 5 to 10 years,” the report stat- ed. “(The) emerald ash borer is the most significant forest pest threatening southern Ontario forests at this time.” It’s such a threat, the Cana- dian Food Inspection Agen- cy ordered a quarantine of Durham Region, regulating the movement of firewood, wood products and ash trees outside of the region’s borders. The quar- antine means anyone removing an ash tree isn’t allow to take the wood outside of the region. Scott McKay, the co-ordinator of forestry management for Pickering, noted the City is spending about $100,000 this year “to treat ash trees throughout Pickering. Where appropriate and possible, we’ll treat trees throughout Pickering.” The City is “doing removal, replacement and some treatment. It’s a combination of those,” Mr. McKay said. This spring, 300 trees were removed. “They were infested to the point they couldn’t be treated.” Whitby is also coming to terms with the bug, said Jennifer Smith, the Town’s super- intendent of operations for parks, adding staff is working on a management plan, which will be presented to council. “We’ve removed and replaced about 500 trees,” she said, adding 111 have been treat- ed with TreeAzin, an insecticide injected into the base of the tree that kills the borer larva. “It’s recommended if any more than 30 per cent of the canopy is lost, it can’t be saved,” Ms. Smith said, adding without suf- ficient canopy, the tree isn’t able to draw the product up. A bug buffet AJAX -- Just last fall this was a healthy tree, but as Tim Field reveals, the telltale grooves beneath the bark signal the tree it has fallen victim to the Emerald ash borer and must be cut down.

The number of students attending Blaisdale Mon- tessori School’s Toynevale Road location was called into question during site planning for an expansion to the school last year, when City of Pickering staff discovered the school’s 297 students exceeded an enrolment limit of 150 set out in its bylaw. The school promptly applied for a bylaw amend- ment to raise the limit to 300 students, but it was voted down by the City’s Committee of Adjustment in August 2012 after residents complained of noise and traffic issues at the school, arguing that enforc- ing the existing enrolment limit would help to address the issues. On May 10 the OMB voted to overturn the committee’s deci- sion, with board member M.A. Sills saying “...the school is an appropriate and desirable use of the property. There is no evi- dence that the proposed variance will result in the creation of unacceptable adverse impacts to the neighbours or the neigh- bourhood and therefore, the variances are minor in nature.” She also called the arguments confusing, noting the school has been serving 297 students for the past four years. “It is difficult to understand why local residents and elect- ed officials suddenly find that there are serious traffic impacts which are directly attributable to the increased enrolment,” she said. The decision means the school is free to move forward with the planned gym extension, and that the current enrolment can continue. “Now we’re in the routine site plan approval phase,” said Catherine Rose, acting chief planner for the City of Pickering, of the planned extension, noting the process was stalled after the bylaw compliance issue was discovered. Once the site plans are submitted and approved the school will be able to proceed with construction as planned. Father’s Day contest Win dad a new barbecue Has your dad’s barbecue seen better days?

Today, our newspapers in southern Durham Region become inte- grated with Layar, an app that aims to enhance the physical world with technology. Quintin Schevernels is Layar CEO and he explains the company was founded in 2009 by Dutch workers in the mobile phone indus- try. “The idea really came when the first serious smart phones came out with a camera, with a compass in there, with GPS,” he said, speaking from the Netherlands. One of the first applications was in the real estate indus- try where a user could simply point their smartphone at a house for sale and have more information pop up includ- ing the price and contact info for the real estate agent. Augmenting print media in a digital world was a nat- ural fit. “One of the big, big disadvantages of print is that it’s very static,” said Mr. Schevernels, whose background is in publishing. But with Layar it becomes dynamic as the gap between the paper that lands on a reader’s doorstep and the newspaper’s website is bridged. “Now you can use online to re-enforce the print product instead of using online as a substitute for print,” he said. As an example, Mr. Schevernels pointed to a Dutch paper with the weather on the front page. When a read- er uses Layar to view the page, the weather updates to the most current forecast replacing the static informa- tion printed hours earlier. Like QR codes, Layar can be used to link readers to the Internet. However it doesn’t require the ubiquitous bar code and the app can go well beyond links with info- graphics, photo slideshows, video and more. Ads can be used to generate leads for companies and users could even purchase a product by using the Layar app. Mr. Schevernels said to date 30 million users have downloaded the app, with the largest number of users in the United States. “The first experience is the biggest hurdle because you have to down- load the app and downloading the app is a big step,” he said, adding that once that’s done, it gets easier. “It’s frontrunners around the world who have downloaded the Layar app, but in general this is new for people.” Readers can now look for the Layar logo in Metroland Durham prod- ucts in both the editorial and advertising content. Fred Eismont, director of advertising for Metroland Durham, said Layar will allow print ads in newspapers, in magazines and specialty sec- tions to come to life. “It increases the level of engagement between our valued advertisers and our readers,” he said. “Our clients can add interactive or digi- tal elements to their ads including video, e-mail, direct telephone contact and so much more. It provides an immediate call to action to aid our clients’ sales while also providing more infor- mation to our readers for their purchasing decision.” “I’m excited about the opportunity to make the exchange of information much more robust,” says Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-Chief. “This week cus- tomers reading about the Emerald ash borer can download related PDFS and watch videos, e-mail us a letter to the editor as soon as they finish reading the day’s editorial, jump over to our Facebook page -- all without leaving the pages of the newspaper. It expands the possibilities for storytelling and that’s exciting.” Look for Layar in the Apple App Store or on Google play for Android. Step 1: Download the free Layar app for iPhone or Android Step 2: Look for pages with the Layar logo. Step 3: Open the Layar app, hold the phone above the page and tap to scan it.

Claremont Public School students got a chance to help replenish local salmon stocks through an in-class hatchery proj- ect as part of the Bring Back the Salmon restoration program. “Any type of hands-on learning we can give them, they love,” said teacher Matt Phillips, whose Grade 3-4 split class hosted the hatchery. “One expectation of the curriculum is that we teach them how humans impact habitat. This is a perfect lesson on how human activity wiped out a species, and they get to have a hand in bringing them back.” The hatchery start- ed with 100 fish roe, which students got to watch grow into fry, which is the stage at which the young salmon are released into the wild. In total 86 roe made it to the fry stage, and a group of about 50 students and par- ents gathered at the school in the early morning hours of May 22 to help release them into the wild. “We got to see them when they were babies and now they’re all grown up, it’s exciting,” said Vanessa Bogue, a Grade 4 student in Mr. Phillips’ class. Her brother David, also in Grade 4, said his favourite part of the project was releasing the fish. “They go so slow and then when you put them in the river they’re so fast,” he exclaimed excitedly. An avid fisherman, David said the project would make him “see fish differ- ently” in the future. “I learned a lot, I didn’t know anything about salmon before.” The 86 fish were a small part of the restoration pro- gram, which includes large-scale releas- es of Atlantic salmon. In May alone, 95,000 Atlantic salmon will be released into area waterways, including about 900 from classroom hatcheries across the region. “We find when students release fish themselves that becomes their stream, and they want to come back and do res- toration projects to improve their habi- tat,” said Chris Robinson, co-ordina- tor of the Atlantic salmon restoration program for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. “We lost the Atlantic salmon original- ly because of habitat loss, and to bring them back we had to do a lot of work to restore that habitat. In order to not do to them again what we did in the 18th and 19th century, we have to have people who know about Atlantic salmon, care about them and care about the streams they’re in.” The salmon will remain in the Duf- fins Creek watershed for another two years before heading out to Lake Ontar- io, where they will spend up to two years maturing before returning to area rivers to spawn.

Leeanna McLean Videographer Videos @ durhamregion.com New Pickering conservation lands to offer balance of restoration, recreation Moya DiLLon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Former aggregate and land- fill sites are getting new life as conservation lands in Pickering. The Brock north lands, purchased as a landfill site by the City of Toronto, have sat mostly vacant since landfill operations were stopped in the 1980s, and were obtained by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) last year. The property’s location beside the existing Greenwood Con- servation Area made it perfect for expansion of the area’s conservation lands. “It’s in a state now where some areas are really degraded and some are really pristine,” said Gord MacPherson, senior manager, res- toration and environmental monitoring proj- ects for the TRCA, while taking the News Advertiser on a tour of the new lands. “It’s all altered, it’s not natural at all. So the trick is how to restore the topography, let people in and improve it at the same time.” Mr. MacPherson said aggregate extrac- tion has left the landscape about four metres below natural levels and prevented growth in some areas. The TRCA has already begun restoration work, including removing dan- gerous infrastructure, adding soil to excavat- ed sites and restoring natural features and habitats. Despite the challenges, the agency calls the lands an exciting opportunity to double the size of the Greenwood lands, providing 677 hectares of natural space that will include trails, a community park in north Pickering and an expansion of the Pickering Museum Village. “It’s a great opportunity, with the existing road system left behind by the aggre- gate operations the trail system is essentially already built,” said Ralph Toninger, manager, restoration and environmental monitoring projects. “It creates a launching point to con- nect all the sites.” That includes an eventual connection to the waterfront trail through a spur trail. The lands are also boon to the City of Pickering, which will see a substantial popu- lation boom as the Seaton development gets underway, bringing an estimated 70,000 peo- ple to the area. “From a City perspective we get the restoration of a lot of land that was for- merly gravel pits, so that’s a big improvement in our natural environment,” said Councillor David Pickles. “Plus we’ll have a more formal trail system to use, the museum expansion, an off-leash dog park and a park for sports such as soccer and baseball. It’s a hidden gem up here that people don’t know about.” Officials estimate the lands will open up for public use sometime this year, although complete plans for restoration and recreation will take much longer. Pickering fire services checks home safety PICKERING -- From now until Labour Day, Pickering Fire Services will go door to door testing fire alarms and installing new ones as a part of the Annual Home Safety Program. Approximately 3,200 homes in Pickering will be checked by fire crews. Firefighters will also educate residents on how to protect them- selves by using their alarms. Residents who receive a new alarm system or batteries will receive a follow-up letter containing details on how to maintain their alarm sys- tems for better use. Inspections will take place week- nights and weekends. Ajax chooses contractor to fight emerald ash borer AJAX -- A contractor has been retained to help the Town deal with the emerald ash borer. Treescapes Tree Care Profes- sionals was awarded a one-year contract for almost $121,000 to treat ash trees. The insecticide TreeAzin is injected into the base of a tree to kill the borer larvae. The contract could be renewed for an additional two one-year peri- ods, provided Ajax staff are satis- fied with the work. The extension could be worth about $250,700. The insecticide will be applied in the 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 7 PDurham students break mental health stigma Student-run day filled with speakers, activities Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham’s young minds came together to help stomp out the stigma of mental illness at a recent student-run event. The Durham District School Board’s student senate invited stu- dents from area high schools to attend the Students Together Against The Stigma conference on May 21. “It’s starting to become main- stream but there’s still a stigma,” said AJ Wray, a committee head for the conference, who attends Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa. Students were given the opportu- nity to learn, discuss and collabo- rate on the topic of mental health, with the aim to empower students to influence positive change within their own schools. “Acceptance is the main thing,” said Jacob Pullia, student trustee. The event included a keynote address from the Durham Talking About Mental Illness chairman Bob Heeney, a presentation from a TAMI speaker, and a performance by the Eastdale Dance Pack. Throughout the day, students par- ticipated in peer-run workshops. “We tried to educate them on ways to help students with mental health issues,” said Grade 11 Pickering High School student Edrea Khong, a com- mittee head. Brian Jones, the staff advisor for the student senate, had various exercis- es for the students, including asking them to reach their hand up as far as it could go, which they did. Then, he told them to reach farther, and they were able to. “Whatever your group decides to do, know that you can do it a little bit more,” he told students wishing to make change on the issue in their own schools. Student trustee Edbert Khong explained the day included students talking about their own issues with mental health, so it could be more relevant to their peers. “It’s something we can address as students together,” he said. AJ said it’s important the students get a feel for the issues that their peers are facing at their specific school, since the issues can vary. He said they should host various events and offer tools at their schools based on that information, and suggested using free online polling tools to garner the informa- tion. Dishan Ratnajothi, a Grade 12 Sinclair Second- ary School student, who was also a committee head, said at his school, they had mental health awareness week. It included students signing a large banner that read ‘You are not alone.’ Student trustee Bryce Paxton said he feels stu- dents do have the courage to seek help. “I think students really realize they have power within themselves,” he said. The committee was pleased with the inaugu- ral event, and members hope mental health will become more mainstream as a result of it. email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com Nuclear licence needs more than quick OK from Pickering 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 8 A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

And even though it’s not their facility, keeping the public in the loop in a timely fashion and giving residents ample oppor- tunity to provide input should be near the top of council’s list. While that may not have occurred recently, it would be jump- ing the gun to assign dark motives. Still, Pickering council’s swift signing off of OPG Pickering’s relicensing application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion (CNSC) was not handled correctly. And the mayor and councillors were rightly called on this at a recent council meeting. Barbara Pulst criticized the “pro- cess” by which council made its decision to support the relicensing agreement with OPG in a letter to the CNSC. “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,” she wrote in a letter to the CNSC. “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.” Factually, this is correct and it’s unac- ceptable. Now Mayor Ryan did note that council was “up against a deadline” to take and submit a position before the April 29 deadline. And, as he said at council, it is perfectly acceptable to bring up a non- agenda item in Other Business, also not- ing other councillors had the opportuni- ty to red flag this. Finally, council wasn’t required to send in its position. But it did and the mayor and council’s show of hands at the last minute did not give the matter the care and attention it warranted. At the very least, as Ms. Pulst argues, this should have been on the agenda with lots of notice given to the public. After all, we’re talking about six aging nuclear reactors in Pickering’s backyard. Durham Nuclear Awareness commis- sioned a report on the Pickering relicens- ing and in it, Fairewinds Associates’ chief engineer, Arnold Gundersen, asks the CNSC to grant “only a temporary licence while OPG completes the rest of its safety studies for the statutorily required public review by the Commission.” Mr. Gundersen’s credentials are impres- sive and his report cannot be summarily dismissed. We’re not saying OPG Pickering is unsafe and should be closed. Or that the nuclear industry isn’t good for Durham Region. It is, and it’s important to remember that OPG is one of the biggest employers in Durham and is and has been an excellent commu- nity partner in the city and beyond. But the minute or two Pickering coun- cil spent on such a hugely important mat- ter did not give it the time or attention it deserves. More apologies, more of the same To the editor: I love to see politicians apologize for ter- rible decisions and then claim to take, “Full responsibility”. With no atonement, all it proves, once again, is that talk is cheap. If fact, it’s free and, on its own, usually worth- less. I remember sitting in a criminal court one day when a lawyer addressed the judge, explaining his client’s absence from court on a previous date. He told His honour that the accused person missed court because he, the lawyer, had told him the wrong date. The counsel apologized and assured the jurist that he accepted ‘full responsibility’ for the ‘mistake’. “Oh, you do? Are you going to pay his fine or serve his time in jail then, sir? What are the ramifications for you? In fact responsi- bility without consequences means noth- ing. They’re empty words. Do you under- stand that, sir?” remarked the judge. At that point the lawyer looked like he wanted to crawl under a floor tile but I enjoyed the entertainment tremendously. Sometimes truth hurts. This is what’s going with our provincial government over hundreds of millions of squandered and misdirected tax dollars. We’re assured by our leaders that they’re sorry and that they’ll henceforth learn from it and do better, even though it was uncon- scionable and inexcusable in the first place. There are no consequences; there’s no plan to recover that money other than to make us, the people from whom it was pil- fered in the first place, pay more. It’s like a victim of a crime being sent to jail for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s the way it works at Queen’s Park; when caught red-handed with no way out and nowhere to run, just toss out a cou- ple of, “I’m sorrys”, without repercussions, and promise to do better, though the track record says they won’t. In the real world they’d end up unemployed. Larry Wood Bowmanville Dandelions fine and dandy To the editor: Re: ‘Dandelions, dandelions everywhere’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May 11, 2013. May I suggest to the letter writer, and any- one else who has a beef with these little yel- low faces, that they should read the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (1962). I applaud the Ontario government, along with mayors of the various cities, towns, et al, who have banned the spraying of herbi- cides. Robins and dandelions are the wel- comed harbingers of spring. I prefer to hear the ‘Cheer Up! Cheer Up!’ of robins rather than dead silence. Go, dandelions, go!

More than 20 residents, businesses and organizations were honoured at the May 27 event for their contributions to the City, which included volunteer efforts, promot- ing sustainability, showing bravery, hon- ouring heritage and more. Two citizens were honoured with Life- time Achievement Awards for their long- term efforts to improve the community. Heddi Gregor, volunteer parish caregiv- er for Peace Lutheran Church, was recog- nized for her unwavering dedication to ail- ing members of the parish and the com- munity. Last year alone Ms. Gregor made 500 home visits, 300 hospital visits and made more than 1,500 phone calls to help raise the spirits of patients. “I’m not really doing nursing anymore, it’s more just visit- ing, listening and connecting,” said Ms. Gregor, a retired reg- istered nurse. “It’s important, sometimes people need to be reminded that they may be physi- cally ill but there are other blessings. I try to help them carry the burden of sickness or aging. You can always look at life in two ways, you can see it in a good light or a bad light.” Through her tireless efforts Ms. Gregor inspires residents dealing with sickness to stay positive. “People need to not be left alone and isolated when they’re unwell,” she said, noting she was “embarrassed” by the award. “It’s nice for them to say thank you, but I have to say thank you to everyone who helped me achieve my dream. I do this because I enjoy it so much.” Resident Cecil Ramnauth was hon- oured alongside her for his many volun- teer efforts, including fostering interfaith dialogue, providing religious and cultural orientation training to new police officers, supporting newcomers through the Dur- ham immigration portal, fundraising for disaster relief efforts, encouraging youth to embrace sustainability measures and advocating for a designated site to scatter ashes in the city. “A number of initiatives I’ve been involved with were about celebrating our similarities, respecting our differences and bringing communities together,” Mr. Ram- nauth explained. “It’s about raising awareness, bringing youth into the fold, leveraging faith com- munities to raise money and making a dif- ference where it counts.” A representative of Devi Mandir, Mr. Ramnauth was instrumental in the acqui- sition of solar panels for the temple and continues to encourage sustainability. “Working with youth creates tremendous cultural change,” he explained. “Youth can then take what they learn to their homes and schools to put into practice.” Mr. Ramnauth said he was surprised to learn he would be the recipient of the Life- time Achievement Award. “I felt very humbled and excited,” he said. “I think recognizing individuals for work done goes a long way in motivation. It’s amazing to see a realization that one has made a difference in the world and in the community.” Read complete list of Civic award winners @ durhamregion.com PICKeRING -- Heddi Gregor was awarded the Lifetime achievement award during Pickering’s annual Civic awards, held to recognize residents, businesses and organi- zations for outstanding service and achievements. jason liebregts / MetrolanD View photo gallery with 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 10 AP Durham business groups question transit funding plan Will lobby to change how Big Move paid for Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- There’s a need for tran- sit infrastructure in Durham Region, but funding options proposed by Metrolinx are off the mark, according to business groups in Durham. Bob Malcolmson, CEO and general manager of the Greater Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce, welcomes the need to improve public transit options. “As we’ve said all along, something has to be done,” Mr. Malcolmson stated, but he added the burden to pay for it would fall on those least able to afford it. On Monday, Metrolinx, the organiza- tion that will oversee transit construction in the GTA and Hamilton area, released its proposals for how to fund the work, called The Big Move. Among its ideas are a one-per cent increase in the HST, a five-cent a litre hike in the gas tax, a 25-cent daily commercial parking levy and 15-per cent rise in devel- opment charges. These proposals would raise about $2 billion annually and would fund var- ious transit propos- als. “The one per cent has to be province- wide and use it for infrastructure money where it is,” Mr. Malcolmson said. He’s concerned about development charges being increased on business- es, noting that could prompt a business to locate outside of the GTA, such as in Peterborough or Cobourg. Mr. Malcolmson also questioned the 25-cent parking levy, noting it could cost a McDonald’s Restaurant $9,100 annually if it had 100 parking spots and that, in turn, could affect the number of part-time stu- dents hired. Some will argue that motorists pay for parking at the Eaton’s Centre, but Mr. Malcolmson noted it’s also served by two subway stations and streetcars. “In the GTA, we don’t have the same level of service. It should be a targeted, targeted parking levy. In Toronto business can recoup it,” he said. “We need to pay for infrastructure some- how, but it needs to be fair and transpar- ent,” he added. The parking levy is also a concern with the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade. Past- president Gary Strange noted the board took the position opposed to the levy. “At first blush, they didn’t address our concerns about a program shortfall in Durham Region,” Mr. Strange added. “Seaton needs to be in the Big Move and it’s not. That’s a con- cern for us.” Money raised for transit projects should be maintained in a separate account and not rolled in with other government money, which has usually been the case, Mr. Malcolmson said. As for development charges, he noted Toronto is built out and the amount of money raised there would be minimal. “Durham Region has room to grow industry. They could pay the extra devel- opment charge and the gas tax, or they could move just outside the GTA to Peter- borough or Belleville,” Mr. Malcolmson said. The Province plans to study the Metrolinx proposal and will seek input prior to making a decision. “The dialogue so far has been very, very good. It’s gotten people tuned in to what’s happening,” Mr. Malcolmson said. Ajax-Pickering board members want to review the document to get a better idea of what’s being proposed, Mr. Strange noted.

On Saturday, June 22 at 10 a.m. the Pickering Reading Circle will host a celebra- tion at Pickering City Hall with the help of keynote speaker Dr. Rita Cox, an Order of Canada recipient, retired citizenship court judge and former professor. Dr. Cox will be using her unique storytelling ability to share anecdotes and inspirations from her life. The event marks the end of the program’s 20th year of helping children ages four through 12 with reading and literacy by part- nering participants with a reading buddy for one-on-one help and tutoring. “The 20th anni- versary is such an excit- ing milestone, we want to share it with the communi- ty by highlighting our his- tory,” said Mala Mahabir, program co-ordinator. “We’re bringing together some of our past, present and future through a series of events designed to share with the public our ser- vice offering, and invite them to engage and experience our mosaic, making them aware of what is available right here in their com- munity.” To attend the event, RSVP to pickerin- greads@hotmail.com.

LEGEND | LÉGENDE SCALE | ÉCHELLE Pockets where the borer has been found in Whitby are on Kendalwood and Powell roads and on Lupin Drive. “We’re just starting to see it in the north, on Forest Heights Street. It’s spreading.” One of the difficulties is “once we see symptoms, it’s too hard to treat,” she said. If a tree can’t be treated, it has to be cut down. An indicator of an infestation is woodpeckers going after larva. The report to council will include what additional funds would be needed to fight the insect, she said. Currently, staff is dealing with the borer using money included in the Town’s annual budget. The Town is only removing trees on municipal proper- ty. Trees on private property are the responsibility of the owner. Jeff Stewart, manager of environmental services for Ajax, said the Town has a five-year plan but noted the fight will last longer. “We do have a sound plan in place and we’re fortu- nate in that way,” Mr. Stewart said. “Our tree canopy, ash makes up about seven to eight per cent of the overall tree canopy. That’s both on pri- vate property and municipal trees. There are 3,000 ash trees on streets and in parks,” he stated. Mr. McKay said Pickering is “over-represented with ash trees. We’re replacing them with different types of trees. We have 12 to 15 varieties.” The City is waiting for leaves to start growing so “we’ll know which ones are candidates for treatment. We’ll be doing more removal and replacement this year.” The infestation has been found in central Pickering, as well as the western portion of the community. “Toronto had a high infestation in the east end. We’re getting hit in the west end quite severely,” he said. The City is removing trees on the road allowance (the strip between the side- walk and the road), parks and green spaces, Mr. McKay said. A letter was sent last year to homeowners with ash trees with information on how to identify an ash tree and what treatment they should seek. “Unfortunately, private property owners are on their own for either treatment or removal,” Mr. McKay said. Homeowners backing onto conservation areas should contact the municipality or the Toronto Region Conservation Authority about tree removal, Mr. McKay said. The trees need to be removed so they don’t fall, he noted. “They’re hazardous when they die. They fall over from the bottom and they don’t fall apart,” he said. Pickering hasn’t planted any ash trees in about six years because of the insect, Mr. McKay noted. “We haven’t added to our inventory. We want to preserve our ash canopy. We’ll have a healthier urban forest, with more diversity. One street had 200 ash trees in a row. We’ll have more bio-diversity in the long run, a more diverse urban forest. We’ll try and treat as many as we can, so we have an ash inventory in the town.” In Scugog, a report to council on Monday from Ian Roger, the director of public works and parks, noted, “Staff will remove infected trees and replant with other species. It is estimated that this response can currently be handled within the existing operating budget.” Life cycle o f t h e E merald ash borer Eggs are laid in clusters on the bark of the ash tree The Emerald ash borer larva hatches and bores into the tree carving a destructive path The Emerald ash borer larva morphs into pupa under the bark Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service photo The adult beetle emerges from the tree Signs your ash tree may have the ash borer: yellowing of the foliage• thinning crown• evidence of adult beetle • feeding on leaves long shoots growing from • the trunk or roots vertical cracks in the trunk• deformed bark (3-4 mm)• small D-shaped emer-• gence holes S-shaped larval tunnels • under the bark filled with fine sawdust presence of woodpeck-• ers in winter and wood- pecker holes $2 billion The cost in Canada for treat- ment, removal and replace- ment of affected trees over 30 years, as estimated by Canadian Forest Services 99% The volume of ash trees that are killed within 6 years of an infestation arriving in a woodlot.

But nuclear skeptics say it’s time to bring down the axe on the Pickering nuclear station. It’s an old debate that pits hard- ened anti-nuclear campaign- ers such as Greenpeace against low-profile supporters such as the Pickering Soccer Club. It has come to a head because the Pickering station’s operating licence runs out this year. Ontario Power Generation, which owns and oper- ates the plant, wants to keep the sta- tion running until about 2020. And the company wants to contin- ue the operation without carrying an environmental impact assess- ment and without performing a major overhaul of the aging station. A three-day hearing began on Wednesday, May 29 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. What’s at stake depends on your perspective of what’s crucial: keep- ing Ontario’s lights on or keeping the province safe. OPG says it can do both. The crit- ics aren’t so sure. OPG wants to keep Pickering run- ning until about 2020 to fill the need for power. Although the province has plenty of electricity now, the big Darlington station is due for a multi-year overhaul starting in 2016 that will crimp its output until about 2020. Pickering will be needed to fill the gaps, says OPG. But two things stand in the way of continued operation. First, the station’s operating licence expires this year. OPG needs to persuade the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to extend the license. Second, the pressure tubes in four of the six operating reactors at Pickering will reach the end their assumed design life between 2014 and 2016. (The tubes in the other two reactors are rated to last until 2020.) The pressure tubes contain the uranium fuel that powers the reac- tors. Removing and replacing them is a complex and hugely expensive task. That’s what OPG is proposing to do at the much younger Darling- ton station. OPG wants to continue operating Pickering for a few extra years with- out a full-scale retubing. It says it has “high confidence” the older tubes will remain fit for service and has outlined several measures it will take to ensure that the tubes will remain in good condition through 2020. Staff at the nuclear safety commission for the most part agree with OPG. They say no full scale environmental assessment is needed in order to grant the new licence. That has raised eyebrows among environ- mental groups such as the Sierra Club. “The risk of air and water-borne emissions from regular operations, unintended releases, including catastrophic accidents, and decom- missioning from Pickering Nuclear are great,” the club says in a detailed brief. “This is the oldest and most troubled com- mercial nuclear plant in Canada,” said Sierra Club’s Christine Elwell. -- Torstar news services Read the rest of this story @ durhamregion.com 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 14 AP NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE BY-LAW REGARDING DEVELOPMENT CHARGES FOR DURHAM TRANSIT BY THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Regional Municipality of Durham passed By-law No.23-2013,to amend the Durham Transit Development Charges By-law No.47-2012, on the 15th day of May,2013 pursuant to Section 19 of the Development Charges Act,1997 (“Act”); AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or organization may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board pursuant to Section 14 of the Act,in respect of By-law No.23-2013,by filing with the Regional Clerk of The Regional Municipality of Durham on or before the 24th day of June,2013 a Notice of Appeal setting out the objection to By-law No.23-2013 and the reasons supporting the objection.

Ajax mayor promotes giant cycling trail New Greenbelt cycling route would span 600 kilometres AJAX -- Ajax Mayor Steve Parish has explored the world in destina- tions as far-flung as New Zealand -- on his bike. He’s convinced the Toronto region could be one of the world’s great destinations in the growing cycling tourism industry. Mayor Parish was part of a team at the Ontario Bike Summit Tues- day touting a new 600-kilometre Ontario Greenbelt cycling route being developed by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust and Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation. “This is a great region, but the reality is the world doesn’t know we’re a great region. We’re in dan- ger of falling drastically and irre- vocably behind our competitors,” said Mayor Parish. The Greenbelt is 728,000 hectares of protected countryside around Toronto that stretches from Rice Lake to the Niagara River. The still- to-be-named cycling route would open in July 2015. The Greenbelt foundation has given the Water- front trust about $500,000 to build a signature cycling route that would help the rural areas around Toron- to develop economically and rec- reationally, said Marlaine Koehler, executive director of the trust. The money will go into creating signs, downloadable maps and a launch event. The route itself will follow existing quiet, country roads. “We will end up having this incredible network of multi-use trails and cycling routes. It will begin to put us on the map and offer something that is quite com- parable to (Quebec’s) Route verte experience,” said Ms. Koehler. Greenbelt cyclists will see quaint towns, farms selling local produce and breathtaking countryside. The trust is also meeting with regional municipalities to see if their cycling plans can be incorporated in the new signature route. The bike route will also connect in three to five spots with the Waterfront Trail that follows Lake Ontario from Windsor to Quebec. But the new route is still being evaluated. “There are a couple of loops we’ve got to figure out,” said Ms. Koehler. In January, the trust will launch a series of sem- inars for Greenbelt businesses by the Welcome Cyclists Network that helps promote opportuni- ties along bike routes. One of the next steps will be to bring leaders from key markets such as Quebec and the U.S. to ride the route with the trail builders. -- Torstar news services 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 15 P 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 16 AP Suzhou Open to the public.No membership required! *Price quoted in US dollars and is based on double room occupancy.

A.Tinnitus, (Latin), means “to tinkle or to ring like a bell”; a perception of sound in the ears (or head) in the ab sence of outside sound sources. Tinnitushasbeendescribedas:Ringingintheears,hissing,ro aring,pulsing,whooshing,chirping,whistling, rushing, booming, clicking. In fact,over 50 different descriptions of sounds have been reported Q.What causes tinnitus? A.There are several causes:age-related hearing loss (presbycusis-typically begins after the age of 55), ear injury, impacted wax near the eardrum,exposure to excessive noise (either ongoing or one time noise trauma), head/neck trauma,whiplash, large doses of ototoxic drugs. Q.Could I be taking ototoxic drugs? A.We call drugs that damage our ears ototoxic where / oto / means ear and / toxic / means poisoning. These drugs typically either damage the hair cells in the cochlea, the hair cells in the balance (vestibular) system of our inner ears or our auditory nerves. Over 200 medications, both over-the-counter and prescribed drugs, have tinnitus as a listed potential side effect.Fo r example, large doses of aspirin taken for arthritis may be ototoxic. More recently,hearing loss with tinnitus and dizziness has been reported with the use of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis for the treatment of erectile dy sfunction. Q.I have a hearing loss with tinnitus. Will amplification make my ringing worse? A.We ar hearing aids. If the tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss, hearing aids are an effective way to deal with tinnitus. Hearing aids amplify other sounds which draw s attention aw ay from the tinnitus.

Durham Humane Society gets $25,000 surprise Man leaves anonymous donation Victoria Ptashnick newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ruby Richards is used to getting cats and dogs dropped off at the Humane Society of Dur- ham Region where she works, but $25,000? That came as a huge surprise. “If animals could talk, they’d be meowing and barking, ‘thanks for helping us!’ a still taken-aback sounding Ms. Richards said. Tuesday afternoon couldn’t have been more normal for Ms. Rich- ards, an animal health co-ordinator at the shelter. It was 3 p.m. and she had just fin- ished making calls about arranging surgeries for a few animals when an ordinary-looking man walked through the shelter doors and approached the front desk where she was working. Ms. Richards said she barely bat- ted an eyelash at the man. “He looked like any other young guy in his early 20s,” Ms. Richards said of the man, who said he’d like to make a donation and handed her a plain white envelope. “We get lots of people in making donations so I didn’t really think anything of it. I asked him if he wanted a tax receipt and he said there was no need for that,” she said. The man, who she remembers was tall and had dark hair, walked out the doors and she casually opened the envelope that con- tained a bank draft for $25,000. “I was dumbfounded, just looking at it. My mouth fell open and I let out this scream and instantly burst into tears,” Ms. Richards said. Several volunteers who had been chatting quietly ran up to her to see what was wrong. “Then the entire place turned into bedlam, as we tried to chase this man down,” Ms. Richards said. She ran out to the parking lot with one of the volunteers and managed to catch the man in his car, getting ready to exit the parking lot. “Out of the passenger window I yelled, who are you? Can you please tell us your name? Are you sure you don’t want a tax receipt?” Ms. Richards said. “I don’t want anybody to know who I am; I don’t want anything for this, I just want to help,” Ms. Richards said the man told her, and he drove away, leaving her and the volunteer with tears roll- ing down their cheeks. Ms. Richards said they’ve had large donations before but never has anybody ever wanted to stay completely anonymous. “We’ve had large donations but they’ve always wanted a tax receipt or some sort of acknowl- edgment on your website or on a poster,” she said. “Nothing has ever happened like this, where someone wants absolutely nothing for such a large donation, it was complete- ly shocking to everyone here,” she said. The money couldn’t have come at a better time, Ms. Rich- ards said. Just a few hours before the man walked in the door she had called her bookkeeper to inquire whether funds were available to neuter and spay some pets that needed to be adopted. The bookkeeper told her there wasn’t enough money. Attached in the envelope was a note that she said she didn’t see at first. It read: “Life is a lot more valuable than anything that money can buy! All I ask if that you help a stranger one day with no expectation of gain.” “It was just wonderful, that all he wanted was for us to pay it forward,” she said. --Torstar news services Donate now to the Humane Society of Durham Region with 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 19 AP 76 EXCITING LOCATIONS ACROSS CANADA OR VISIT US AT www.leons.ca *O.A.C.With a minimum purchase of $1000 (before taxes and fees); total purchase including all applicable taxes, fees and a processing fee of $89.95 (Eg. $1500 purchase with $89.95 processing fee equals an APR of 3.0%) is due May /June2015.

The blue box and green bin programs allow residents to divert recyclable and com- postable materials from garbage disposal, thereby significantly reducing the number of garbage bags set out for collection. However, a quick glimpse around my neighbourhood and perhaps yours reveals that not everyone is regularly using their blue boxes and green bins. Instead, I often see four super-sized gar- bage bags. I understand there are times when no matter how much you recycle or compost, you are pushing the bag limit. Obviously, a family of five with a little one in diapers or a family member with a medical condition would pro- duce more waste than your average house- hold of two. Throw a holiday or celebration into the mix and you have the perfect storm for a lot of waste. Durham Region’s overall diversion rate remains consistent at 53 per cent, and while we are aiming for 70 per cent, reaching that is proving to be a very significant challenge. This begs the question -- would reduc- ing garbage bag limits be an effective tool for increasing waste diversion? As the bag limit decreases, would it “encourage” residents to increase their participation in waste diversion programs? Over the next few months, staff will be conducting a number of studies on the amount of garbage residents are allowed to put out for collection in the region. Currently residents are allowed to set out four bags of garbage every two weeks for disposal. If households want to place additional garbage bags at the curb, they are required to purchase a bag tag for each additional garbage bag. The goal of a reduced garbage bag limit is to increase household diversion and encourage residents to make maximum use of the Durham Region’s blue box and green bin programs. What are your thoughts on the merits of reducing bi-weekly garbage limits? Do you think it will make a difference and help us reach 70-per cent waste diversion? We would like to hear from you.

Durham lecture explains neutrinos DURHAM -- The Durham District School Board will present the fourth lecture in its 2013 Sci-Tech Lecture Series on Thurs- day, June 6. Sampa Bhadra, York University pro- fessor in the department of physics and astronomy, will present Catch Me If You Can: Hunting Ghostly Neutrinos. Professor Bhadra will outline our cur- rent understanding of neutrinos and how they may hold the key to the question of our very existence: how did matter win over antimatter after the Big Bang? She’ll also describe an experiment in Japan which has recently shed important light on a key missing ingredient in the neutrino puzzle. The lecture will take place at the board’s Education Centre at 400 Taunton Rd. E., Whitby, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and includes a question and answer session. The event is open to the public. Seat- ing is free, and is on a first come, first served basis.

In severe cases,overheating can also cause bleeding disorders &death.Always ensure your pets have access to fresh water &somewhere they can go to cool down if needed.Try to prevent them from over exerting themselves with strenuous activity.Never leave your pet in the car,even if the windows are slightly open.It has been shown that the temperature in a car can climb to 50 degrees in less than 10 minutes!Pets with heart or lung disease should always be kept in cooler temperatures.If you suspect your pet has over heated,please contact your veterinarian immediately.

That’s the simple rationale for Big Day birding, running around to all your favourite nature spots at the peak of migra- tion to see how many species you can find in a single day. My team and I picked last Saturday for our annual effort, starting and ending with a big full moon shining down on us. The downsides were nippy temper- atures and a strong north wind. Songbirds don’t sing much and hawks don’t soar on a windy day, and migrants tend to wait for favourable southerlies instead of fighting a headwind. But we gave it our best effort, and had a fabulous time in our search for species, visiting many spe- cial corners of Durham Region, such as the Darlington Park bar- rier beach, where an Iceland gull and a piping plover had been reported in recent days. We’ve sometimes made the long walk out across the McLaughlin Bay Nature Reserve to the lakeshore on our Big Day, but this year accessed it from the park itself -- much easier -- and got five species of shorebirds, plus heard the melodious notes of the endangered piping plover. It turned out to be a good day for shore- bird migration, especially of dunlin, a mid- size rusty-brown sandpiper with a black tummy, which we saw at a few locales, including the Nonquon Lagoons at Port Perry. High water in all five ponds there left little shorebird habitat -- pond edges and mudflats -- at what in years past was an excellent stopover spot for waders en route to the Arctic. A highlight for us Saturday was a red-necked phal- arope swimming in circles, picking up insects from the water. A big disappointment for me was driving slowly through downtown Whitby, peering above the rooftops for chimney swifts, and not finding a single one due to the cold winds. I was delighted half an hour later to spot a swift among all the swallows darting over Cranberry Marsh, scooping up midges in their gaping mouths. Lucky for us, friends on the viewing plat- form at Cranberry had already located the three rare Eurasian wigeons reported there, and quickly pointed them out to us, as well as a redhead duck and a white- rumped sandpiper among more common marsh birds present. Plus they drew our attention to two ravens in the fields along Halls Road, which we would likely have dismissed as crows. We missed a lot of species we’d hoped to find, common ones like black-throat- ed blue warbler, horned lark and hairy woodpecker; trickier ones like red-headed woodpecker, black-crowned night heron and Carolina wren. Our list of raptors was poor, since few were flying in those winds, and even wood ducks and green herons were lying low. So our Big Day total, 153 species, wasn’t earth-shattering, but it was well-earned, and very well enjoyed. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far- flung corners of the planet. Margaret Carney Out Walking Tiny Oshawa kitten knew love I wish this story involving an abandoned kitten and a mother cat who took him in had a happier ending. But I'm going to share it anyway because this tale reminds me of the great people and rescues we have in Durham, and how working together is better than going it alone. Baby CJ came to the Cuddly Cats Rescue and Sanctuary last Thursday after land- ing on the doorstep, cold and tiny, of an Oshawa volunteer with Urban Cat Relief, a Toronto-based rescue. They had tried to get a mother cat who was nursing her kittens to nurse CJ as well, but she rejected him. Coincidentally, Cuddly Cats had rescued a mother cat, Tiki, the weekend before. Her babies were nowhere to be found when she was discovered starving and handed over to Cuddly Cats. Baby CJ was crying and Tiki, roughly only 10 months old herself, immediately accept- ed him, and let him nurse. "She never left his side," said Jackie Stezik, president of Cuddly Cats. Jackie figures the baby was only about a day old. Unfortunately, CJ was having trouble latching onto the nipple. He was rail-thin and although he could be warmed rather easily, his temperature would decline just as fast. "I was with the kitten almost every single minute," said Jackie. They took them to the vet where CJ con- tinued to do "just alright," and was in the care of a vet tech over the weekend. "Unfortunately it was never 'rah rah rah, this cat's doing well’," said Jackie. Sadly on Monday, CJ took his last breath. Jackie had even started giving him for- mula on top of Tiki's milk, but unfortunate- ly, one of the hourly check-ins was devas- tating. "I went in at 3 to do his next nursing and feeding and found Tiki huddling around him, her paws wrapped around him," said Jackie. But he was no longer breathing. Jackie rushed him to the vet, and they tried to resuscitate him, but nothing worked. "He wasn't strong, he wasn't latching on, that instinct to eat and latch on just wasn't there," said Jackie, adding the vet figures he was premature too. The vet ruled out suffocation as a cause of death. Poor Tiki is mourning CJ's loss. "She runs and hides. It's like she feels responsible," said Jackie. But she did all she could to give him strength. And if it weren't for her efforts, and the efforts of all the people involved, who knows what would have happened to CJ? "He knew and felt a love that goes deeper than life itself," said Jackie. Jackie was touched to see Urban Cat Relief, volunteers, vets, the vet tech and even people just sharing the story on Face- book all rooting for CJ to make it through. "It united a dramatically large amount of people. I was absolutely astounded," Jackie said between tears. This story goes to show what a cat res- cue does. These rescues work tirelessly to do everything they can to help animals in need. In Jackie's case, she got little sleep, lost hours at work and paid more than $500 to try to save this kitten, and was devastat- ed in the end. Yet despite these costs and many heartaches, she keeps doing it. With- out people like Jackie, I cringe to think of what the world would be like for animals in need.

DURHAM -- This abandoned kitten, CJ, was brought to Oshawa’s Cuddly Cats Rescue and Sanctuary, where a mother cat accepted him and tried to nurse him back to health. subMitted photo Kristen Calis Reporter The sad story of Baby CJ View the video of the Eurasian wigeon See Charlie on Facebook with 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP What’s On Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor / mruta@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2243 Youth group presents North American premiere Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Stuart Paterson’s musical ver- sion of a classic is far from the watered down film treatment. And director John Lunman has upped the ante by overlay- ing his original concept, a post-apocalyptic 21st century. Dorothy, you’re not in Disney’s Jungle Book anymore. But Lunman, in his first year at the helm of Whitby Courthouse Theatre’s Youth Group (YG), says the WCT version is much closer to Kipling’s original work, which deals with weighty themes such as prejudice and has a life-and-death seriousness. “I didn’t want cutesy animal costumes and that was another way of moving away from Disney’s Jungle Book,” he says of his overlay. “It’s Kipling and Paterson’s story; we haven’t changed a word of the dialogue.” It’s about a young man growing up, turn- ing from “completely innocent and a bit of a knob to finding out it’s a far more complex world than he thought it to be,” he says. Lunman says it would be almost insulting to have the YG members prancing around and being cute. They’re up to a bigger chal- lenge, and so was he when he decided to take on running the YG. “I really love this; this is what I wanted to do,” he says at a very busy Sunday rehearsal day on May 26. Both casts are there, around 40 kids, and they’re spread out all over the Whitby Cen- tennial Building. “I came to this because I wanted a chal- lenge; I wanted to work extensively with young people and beginners because they can learn,” Lunman says. Bottom line: he says it’s the hardest thing he’s ever done in theatre and, given his 40 years’ experience, that’s saying something. But it’s also been incredibly rewarding for Lunman, who says it would be “impossi- ble” without the parent volunteers. Watching the hive of activity on this day, one senses he isn’t exag- gerating. In the make-up room, some of the per- formers are being trans- formed into animals. In another room, musical director Heather Murray is working with Catherine Allen, helping her to get the most out of a song. And in the theatre itself, paint is being applied on props and even on the stage itself. They’re in the midst of a 10-hour day, prepping for the North American premiere. “When I heard that I was really shocked, but also really excited,” says Holly Jaeger of the premiere. At 16 years, she’s one of the oldest mem- bers of the YG. And, as Akele, leader of the wolf pack, she’s in full make-up and kind of spooky when she isn’t smiling. It’s her second year in the group, for which kids ages 10 to 18 can audition. “I found I had a really big passion for the theatre and I really enjoyed myself so one of my friends recommended this to me,” she says. “You can be as crazy as you want to be and no one judges you.” Still, it’s not all fun and socializing: the YG is a 10-month commitment. And as the group has geared up for opening night there have been up to four rehearsals a week. “Being able to express yourself, because my friends at school are not really the artsy type,” Holly answers when asked what she most likes about the YG. At 10-and-a-half years, Kiara Gaskin is one of the youngest members, in her first year. “I’ve always had a passion for performing, whether it’s acting or singing or dancing,” she says. “I just thought it would be some- thing I’d like to try.” Kiara, who plays one of the monkeys, says the YG year has been “a really fun adven- ture.” She’s at a loss when asked what the high- light has been so far. “I can’t choose,” she says, pausing. “Prob- ably the Christmas show.” Kiara says “people should definitely come and see” the Jungle Book. It runs June 6 to 8 and 13 to 15 at 8 p.m. and June 9 and 16 at 2 p.m. For tickets, visit www.whitbytheatre.org or get them in person at Lafontaine in Whitby or at the door.

Stone comes to life When Pickering sculptor Gordon Reidt observes a piece of raw carving stone, he doesn’t only see the natural rock shape, but often discerns a bear or turtle or even a human figure. He then spends many hours carving to release the stone’s inner being. Reidt calls himself an accidental sculp- tor, given that his main road to artistic expression began with a futile attempt to repair a damaged bird bath that ended badly. Intrigued by the idea of working with stone, he enrolled in carving workshops and, in less than a decade, has fashioned himself a late-in-life career making, showing and sell- ing works of art and teaching. Now, Reidt is no stranger to artistic expression, having been engaged in hobby photography over the years, primarily shoot- ing nature and people portraits, often with a vintage Hasselblad. And involving himself with like-minded folks in the Oshawa Cam- era Club. He recalls, as many artists do, walking in nature and being inspired by the fauna and flora from his formative years. However, as is the case for most artistic people, much of Reidt’s life was spent mak- ing a living at activities that might seem dia- metrically opposed to free-form creativity. He is a chemistry/biology graduate from Ryer- son University and toiled for years in qual- ity control and laboratory positions in the rubber compounding industry. Reidt even- tually switched to health and safety policy and monitoring, first for OPG, then for the City of Pickering and, eventually, for Durham Region. But Reidt’s main concern now is finding inspiring pieces of marble or similar stones and using the most efficient tools to coax out the residing spirit form. His work owes some debt to native Inuit carving -- if only in subject matter and simplicity of form. And some of his early carvings were even hand realized in soapstone and serpentine. But he now carves mostly harder stone with power tools, making animal figures and some tan- gential abstract works. Reidt’s sculptures can be seen at numerous regional art festivals and he will be demonstrating at the SilverStone Gallery Sunday on the Porch series in Pickering on Aug. 25.

The Ajax boxer is just a couple of days away from the biggest fight of his pro- fessional career against Fitzroy Vanderpool on Saturday night at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, when they will clash for the vacant Canadian Jr. Middle- weight (154 pounds) title. “I can’t wait,” he says of the mounting anticipation. Cook brings an undefeated record of 9-0 with five knockouts into the ring against the experienced Vanderpool, a 45-year-old Cana- dian boxing legend, who has a record of 26-7 with 13 KOs. In preparation for the fight, Cook has been able to take the past month off work, thanks to his sponsors Red Rain Energy, AVC Systems and Smid Construction, in order to train full-time with strength and condition- ing coach Andrew Williams and trainer Mike Guy- ett. “There’s no excuses. This is the best I’ve ever felt. I’ve never felt so strong,” says Cook. Saturday’s six-fight card will also feature Brock Arthur, a Whitby resident who operates Ajax’s Durham Boxing Academy, who will return to the ring after a five- year hiatus. He will be facing Jordan Smith, who will be mak- ing his professional debut, in a cruiserweight bout. Leading up to Saturday’s championship fight, Cook gave the News Advertiser access to his training facilities at the Ajax Boxing Club and Durham Boxing Academy.

Heading into the championships, the Novice Bulldogs sported an impressive 21-0 record in the U10 division. The core of the team played together last year. “Last season was really a learning expe- rience for the boys, so I did not place too many expectations on the team,“ said head coach Ervin Clayton. “Coming in to this year we knew from the start our goal was to win the provincials.” Clayton also stated that in 25 years of coaching, he has never coached a group so hard working and determined as these boys. In convincing fashion, the Bulldogs defeated Guelph, Brampton and South Windsor in pool play. In the medal round the Bulldogs ran into a tough, well-coached Oakville team that pushed the Bulldogs into the unfamiliar territory of overtime. The Bulldogs were able to prevail 40-35 and advance to the finals against regional rival Scarborough Blues, who were ranked second in the province. The Bulldogs won 45-23. DCBA Club president, Nkosi Adams, who also helped coach the novice team, stated that: “It was very gratifying for the club to win its first-ever boys’ provincial cham- pionship, as most of the team members developed their skills from an early age through the DCBA house league program.” Team members are Isaiah Adams, Kaleb Birch, Isaiah Bridge, Jaden Clayton, Myles Graham, Nicholas Kaptein, Marcus Mur- rell, David Ononiwu, Pierce Santos, Noah Seetram, Kole Scott, Nathaniel Simms. The team is coached by Ervin Clayton, Nkosi Adams and James Seetram. The team man- ager is Simone Seetram. LONDON -- The Durham City Bulldogs novice central team won the U10 provin- cial championship, beating Scarborough in the gold medal game.

To help set the record straight and guide customers toward making the choice that best suits them,Cathy Preston,vice president, Life & Health,RBC Insurance, addresses the five most common misconceptions about life insurance. Toppingthelist,according to Preston,ispeople’s belief that all their insurance needs are covered through work.“Group life insurance plans typically provide limited coverage,and theinsuranceoftenendswhen you change jobs. It’s important to understand the extent of yourcoverage and fill inanygaps,”she says. And while many peoplebelieve their investment dollars canbeputto betteruseelsewhere,asPrestonpoints out, “Many life insurance policies provide protection for your lovedonesalongwithatax-shelteredinvest- ment option thatcangrowyour money.” Somethinklife insurance isonly forfull-time workers or high-income earners, but there arecases where it can be helpful regardless of income or employment status.“For example, if you have dependents,you would need to cover childcare and housekeeping costs in a parent’s absence,”Preston notes.And life insurance isn’t only for those with dependents, she adds.“Life insurance can also help protect your partner from struggling with a single income and ensure your debts are paid, which is importantregardless of whetheryouhave children,”shesays. Finally,Preston insists that life insurance need not be prohibitively expensive. She indicates that a 10-year term policy with a death benefit of $250,000 would cost about $28 per month for a healthy 45-year-old Canadian male non-smoker, while a policy with a death benefit of $200,000 would cost $15 per month for a healthy 35-year-old female non- smoker.“Lifeinsurancecanbecost-effective,”she says, adding that more information is available at www.rbcinsurance.com/familypricing or bycalling RBC Insurance at 1-888-528-5507.
