Jingles hairstylists in Pickering held a cutathon last month to raise funds for the project. PETER REDMAN PHOTO Million Dollar Smiles organization builds playhouse for Pickering girl battling cancer REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- She’s a blur of pink polka dots as she runs in and out of her new playhouse, which is fully loaded with a tea set and her very own princess castle oven. Sophia Megan will be three in July and she has just one word to describe her new playhouse in the back- yard of her Pickering home. “Awesome,” she says as she puts all her attention to getting the table setting just right, plastic cupcakes and all. The playhouse was a special surprise for Sophia on May 26, made possible by Million Dollar Smiles, a charity that builds playgrounds for kids battling cancer. Sophia was diagnosed with leuke- mia in June 2012, explains her mother Nicolle Georgiev. The family met Mil- lion Dollar Smiles founder Ana Lopes last Christmas when she was deliv- ering four-foot bears to kids being treated at SickKids hospital in Toronto. “We can’t just go to the local park; her immune sys- tem is always compromised,” explains Ms. Georgiev. “It seems like such a little thing but it’s a big thing. What child doesn’t want to go to the park?” Playhouse surprise See BACKYARD page 7 To donate to Million Dollar Smiles 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 • Ju n e 6 , 2 0 1 3 2 AP KINGSTON RD 401HA R W O O D Visit us at! 19 Harwood Av enue South, Ajax905-683-9001 •WWW.VILLAGEFIAT.COM VILLAGE FIAT OPEN24/7SAVINGS HOTLINE CLASSY-SASSY CONVERTIBLES!

I’m frustrated,” Linda Marco said hours after submitting her resigna- tion last week. In April, the Central East Local Health Integration Network told the two organizations to come up with an integration plan within 90 days. The LHIN is responsible for hand- ing out funding for health care in Durham Region, which both The Youth Centre and the Oshawa cen- tre provide. The LHIN says integra- tion could save $35,000 annually. The board of directors for The Youth Centre had rejected integra- tion “because we did not believe it would meet our three strategic aims,” Ms. Marco noted. Those aims were improved client access, “create readiness for future health system transformation,” and making the best use of public investment, she said. “There’s not enough evidence the (integration) plan would do that,” she said. The first meeting between The Youth Centre and the Oshawa cen- tre still hasn’t been held, she noted. It’s to be a facilitated discussion led by the CE LHIN. The Youth Centre board “took the position we were opposed to the plan as presented. It’s not in the best interests of youths in Ajax and Pickering,” Ms. Marco said. She said other board members weren’t happy with her resignation. The Youth Centre provides free services to youth ages 13 to 29 in Ajax and Pickering, including free and confidential medical, counsel- ling, dietitian, young parent sup- port and outreach services, as well as health and wellness programs. James Meloche, senior director, system design and implementation for the CE LHIN, said in an e-mail, “The LHIN believes that by iden- tifying integration opportunities, health service providers will be in a better position to improve access to quality services, create readiness for future health system transfor- mation and make the best use of the public’s investment.” Page 8 - today’s editorial du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 3 PDemand for community gardens plots plentiful in Pickering Newly expanded Valley Plentiful garden fills up fast PICKERING -- Pickering residents are embracing community gardening in the city, snapping up plots in the newly expanded Valley Plentiful Community Garden. The gardening community recent- ly celebrated a 30-per cent expansion. When the garden was launched in 2008 it had only eight gardeners, which steadily grew to a community of 71, and is now expanding once again with 25 new plots, bringing the total available to 96. “We have residents visiting the gar- den all the time asking how they can get involved,” said Carolyn Kasperski, volun- teer co-ordinator of the garden. She points out that the prominent downtown location behind the Pickering Recreation Complex on Valley Farm Road is an inviting spot and captures the interest of passersby. The publicly-shared garden is aimed at strengthening the sense of communi- ty and giving residents the opportunity to grow their own fruits and vegetables, while sharing knowledge and resources with their neighbours. “To be able to literally enjoy the fruits of your labour is quite a satisfying expe- rience,” said Councillor Doug Dickerson, chairman of the Sustainable Pickering Advisory Committee. “We are extremely proud to have such a vibrant and dynamic showcase that adds to the overall health and beauty of our city.” While the new garden plots have already been snapped up just a week after open- ing, residents interested in doing some gardening of their own can contact Ms. Kasperski at valleyplentiful@gmail.com to be placed on a waiting list, which is currently at two people. Located at the north end of Diana Prin- cess of Wales Park, the garden was made possible by a partnership between the City of Pickering, Ontario Hydro and the Valley Plentiful Community Gardens. Health Durham promotes sun safety DURHAM -- The Durham Region Health Department is giving residents tips on how to stay safe in the sun this summer. A 2012 health survey showed that 37 per cent of residents had a sunburn in the past 12 months. “One blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence can double a person’s chance of developing skin cancer later in life,” says public health nurse Felicia Onwuemele. For tips on sun safety visit durham.ca/ sunsafety or call the Durham Health Con- nection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

This shift is growing increas- ingly popular around Dur- ham Region, but in my hus- band’s case, he was making an almost 40-kilometre ride from Scugog to Whitby. This might be an extreme way to ride, but with Bike Month taking place until the end of June, it’s a great time to strap on a helmet and find your way around town or rural areas using pedal power. Bike Month is a commu- nity celebration of cycling, taking place across the Greater Toronto and Ham- ilton Area this year. You can visit www.BikeMonth2013. ca to find guided bike tours, and bike-friendly festivals, art shows, film screenings and more. Remember to tune up (your bike), fuel up (your belly) gear up (your body) and be safe on all cycling trips. Some cyclists are choosing to pledge to ride to school or work, for errands, for fitness, for fun, and to reduce their environmental impact during Bike Month. On top of the fitness and financial benefits of leaving the car at home, there are prizes available to be won. The online pledge form will be available until June 18 with winners announced the following week, so don’t delay. Biking is a great way to get exercise, enjoy the fresh air and explore scenery. If you are looking for places to ride, the new Durham Cycle Tours map from Dur- ham Tourism highlights 10 distinct routes from along the Waterfront Trail to the Oak Ridges Moraine. All of the connecting routes total 44.29 kilometres, and the total length of all routes is approximately 550 kilome- tres, so even the most avid cyclist will find new places to explore. Visit www.dur- hamtourism.ca to down- load a copy of the map, or to order a handy paper version. Don’t forget, the Township of Uxbridge is the Trail Capital of Canada, with hundreds of kilometres of trails running through its historic villages, mixed for- ests, streams, wetlands and meadows. As well, the Town of Ajax is proud to be one of the first Bicycle Friendly Communi- ties in Ontario. Its bike lanes, shared-use lanes marked by sharrows, and recreation- al trails are welcoming to cyclists of all levels. Along the cycling routes in Durham, you will find more than 75 attractions taking part in the Welcome Cyclists program. Visit www. welcomecyclists.ca to find information, links and map location points for certified bicycle-friendly businesses across Durham Region. Kerri King Manager Durham Tourism Durham Tourism eBook: Dark Days Living with a concussion Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com I used to think I under- stood concussions and their after-effects. That was before I embarked on writing the eBook Dark Days: Living with a Concussion. Truth is very few people, if any, around the world fully understand what a concussion is or how it affects the everyday lives of those who have suffered through them. However, Keith Primeau and Craig Fisher, local for- mer hockey players who spent years chasing the dream, know more than they care to about concus- sions. Both had their hockey careers ended by them, Fisher in 1999 and Primeau seven years later in 2006. INSIDE THE COVER: No more are there per- fect days. Yesterday wasn’t. Today isn’t. And tomorrow won’t be either. Such is the nature of things for the likes of for- mer National Hockey League star Keith Prime- au, former minor league sniper Craig Fisher and countless others who have had their quality of life comprised at one time or another over the years due to the effects of post-con- cussion syndrome. Primeau’s story is well documented. The Whitby native and veteran of 15 NHL sea- sons had his career cut short prior to the 2006 sea- son when he was forced to hang up the skates, unable to recover from what proved to be the final in a series of concussions that marred the final years of his run with the Philadel- phia Flyers. Fisher’s story, though not nearly as well pub- licized, was equal- ly devastating, if not more so. For the Oshawa native there was no first round draft sta- tus. No lengthy, dec- orated NHL career. No army of fans downcast when he was forced to stash the gear away for good. Fisher, as gift- ed a goal-scorer as you would find in the minor leagues during the 1990s, was still in pursuit of landing a per- manent job in the NHL when post-concussion symptoms wreaked havoc on his life. He had sipped a cup of coffee in the NHL for a period of 12 games over parts of four seasons and after so many years of fighting the uphill battle, it looked as though the break Fisher wanted was about to come during the 1999-2000 season. However, while playing at a near-goal-per-game pace with the American Hockey League’s Roches- ter Americans, his dream that seemed so close was shattered just 17 games into that season, the impact akin to a high- speed crash. In one jaw-dropping moment, Fisher went from being on the cusp of scor- ing yet another goal to suf- fering three concussions of varying severity. That was it. He never played again. Keith Primeau and Craig Fisher are two different men who took two differ- ent paths while chasing their childhood dreams. In the end, a few years apart, they arrived in the same place. Concussions ended their hockey careers, though both remain in the game in similar capacities. This is their story.

One hurt, one charged as Ajax argument turns violent AJAX -- One man was injured when an argument over a vehicle sale turned violent Sunday in Ajax, police said. A Whitby man has been charged in the June 2 incident, which occurred at about 6:15 p.m. Durham police said two men who met at a Kingston Road East restaurant began to argue over payment for a vehicle. One of the men left and the other fol- lowed him outside, demanding payment, police said. When the 38-year- old man began to bang on a vehicle window, the other man got out, armed with a knife, and attacked him, police said. The victim was cut and the assailant fled on foot, police said. A man surren- dered to police Monday evening.

In Sophia’s case, the project was made pos- sible through a donation from Jingles Hair Design in Pickering. Ms. Lopes volun- teers her time with the organization and said donations from businesses and fami- lies sponsor the play- ground builds. “This is probably our 25th build and it just gets better and better, when you see her smile ... there’s not one time that we unveil that I don’t have a tear in my eye,” said Ms. Lopes. On Sunday, volunteers put the play- house together for Sophia -- the family’s backyard is a touch too small for a full playground -- while Ms. Georgiev kept her daughter inside. She said she wasn’t sure how Sophia would react to all the attention and cam- eras at the big reveal, but she handled it like a superstar. “She was acting like she was on a red carpet,” said Ms. Georgiev. After that, Sophia was glued to the cheerful mini-house, only occasionally checking in with mom. “I’m going to go inside my house,” said Sophia before scooting away. “I don’t know how I’m going to bring her inside,” joked Ms. Georgiev. “The gift is not just for Sophia, it’s real- ly a family gift,” said Ms. Lopes. “I would say the response from a lot of families is that it gives them the opportunity to feel like a normal family that day. We have smiles and we have laughter and we’re making the best of it, and I have not met one family that hasn’t enjoyed that day and the whole magical moment.” Ms. Georgiev said she and her family are hop- ing to help other kids with cancer through a non-profit organization called Super Sophia. She makes scrubs for kids with fun details on them and so far has made about 100 of them.

And when the patient is a little kid, charity Million Dollar Smiles has a wonderful tonic for mind and soul: a new playground. Sophia Megan is the recent recipient of a new playhouse in her backyard, which volunteers set up as a surprise for her last week, prompting an “awesome” from the Pickering girl, who will be three in July. This is no cardboard box dwelling: it’s a cheerful place with windows, a window planter with flowers, furniture, a tea set and a princess castle oven. And Sophia liked it so much she’s been spending a lot of time in her new home. It’s a welcome and needed addition to Sophia’s play life as her mother, Nicolle Georgiev, told us Sophia can’t go to the local park because “her immune system is always compromised.” Sophia was diagnosed with leukemia in June 2012. The family met Million Dol- lar Smiles founder Ana Lopes last Christ- mas when she was delivering more good will, four-foot bears to kids being treated at Toronto’s SickKids hospital. Donations from businesses and families pay for the playground builds for kids fighting can- cer. And in the case of Sophia’s playhouse, a donation from Jingles Hair Design in Pickering made it possible. Sophia’s back- yard is too small for a full playground, not that she was complaining about the play- house. “The gift is not just for Sophia, it’s really a family gift,” said Ms. Lopes. “I would say the response from a lot of families is that it gives them the opportunity to feel like a normal family that day. We have smiles and we have laughter and we’re making the best of it, and I have not met one family that hasn’t enjoyed that day and the whole magical moment.” We applaud Ms. Lopes and Million Dol- lar Smiles for thinking of this unique way to help children. Cancer is frightening for people of all ages and affects entire fami- lies. The treatment required can sap the patient’s strength and means all too many visits to the hospital. It can be very depress- ing, and when the patient is a little girl or boy, it’s even more heartbreaking to see a young person unable to enjoy what most kids take for granted. In Sophia’s case, a simple trip to the park to play. Ms. Georgiev said she and her family are passing on the goodness, hoping to help other kids with cancer through a non-prof- it organization, Super Sophia. She makes cheerful scrubs for kids and so far has made about 100 of them. To find out more about Million Dollar Smiles visit www.milliondollarsmiles.ca and look for Super Sophia on Facebook. Let’s extend that logic... To the editor: Re: ‘Stop fighting Mother Nature’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May 17, 2013. The letter writer thinks we should stop fighting Mother Nature and leave dandeli- ons alone. I suppose she is right, and I suppose we should stop building houses and let the rain fall on us as Mother intended. We should stop painting things since corro- sion is a natural event. Rather than tearing down all we have built, we could just take the doors off and let the dirt blow in, let the raccoons and squirrels infest our houses. Yes, we should stop the fight and live completely naturally as Mother intended. Good idea. Incidentally, dandelions are not native to North America: the bees did just fine before some idiot imported the nasty weekds. Ken Westbrook Ajax Mass transit, mass confusion To the editor: Re: ‘Transit has a Pulse in Durham’, news, durhamregion.com, May 21, 2013. I’m confused about the mandate of Metrolinx, GO Transit, Durham Region Transit, and other GTA mass transit sys- tems. I’m confused as to why DRT needs a Rapid Transit bus along Hwy. 2, when GO Transit does the same thing, albeit I’m assuming the GO bus would be making more stops, (“Transit has a Pulse in Dur- ham”, May 21, 2013) I’m confused as to why other GTA areas need their own rapid transit/high speed/ high volume systems when I’m under the impression this is what GO Transit is designed for. See the existence of Viva in York Region, and the proposed mass transit system link- ing Peel Region and Oakville, (formal dis- cussions apparently began May 21, 2013 as per a radio item). I’m confused as to why Metrolinx isn’t saying, “Hold on everyone, we’re here to oversee this mish-mash of systems, reduce clutter, duplicated services and save money”. The creation of Pulse and whatever system might come to pass in Peel and Oakville makes me think otherwise. Provincial elections are in 17 months, and as a commuter looking for traffic relief, this will be a topic that I want addressed.

The chick pea is one of the earliest culti- vated legumes in the Mid- dle East. My first mem- ory of a chick pea was in a falafel sandwich at the good old CNE in Toronto. Tasty enough with a lot of texture but a bit pasty, and if you’re not used to the garlic tzatziki, it may over- come you. Nowadays, chick peas are a staple in my house- hold and if they’re not in your pantry, you should consider it. They are a versatile, pro- tein/fibre packed veggie, not just for Middle Eastern recipes and vegetarians. One of my favourite ways to incorpo- rate chick peas other than in a dhal curry is a refreshing salad with tomatoes, cheese, diced onions and peppers. You can flavor it many ways and if you stick to good quality olive oil, plain or infused with fresh herbs and your favourite cheese, your salad will rock. It marries well with any main dish, a barbecue side or just as a luncheon snack. You can even “meatavor” it by adding sau- sage, crispy prosciutto, bacon or lean ham. It will keep for at least three days. I often like to make one dish and then two alternative dishes by just adding a few extra ingredients such as pasta or cucumbers and avocado.

She also has an Ontar- io Student Assistance Program debt to pay off now that she’s graduat- ing from Durham Col- lege in June. Not only did she have to worry about support- ing herself throughout college, but her daugh- ter too. But with a part-time job and good money sense, she managed to pay back a chunk of her loan already, and plans to pay off the remaining $17,000 over the next three years. But not all students are as prepared for pay- ing off their student loans as Ms. Di Menna. A September 2012 study by RateSupermar- ket.ca found the average university student graduates with close to $28,000 in debt, and it takes on average, 14 years to pay it off, based on an average starting salary of $39,523. It also noted that the average college stu- dent debt is nearly $11,000, based on a two- year diploma. For many, graduating and finding them- selves with debt that will only increase as time goes on can be overwhelming. Ms. Di Menna felt lucky to have a free place to live during her first year, but she saw how easy one could plow through their OSAP loans as fast as they come in. “I’ve seen it. And I think that’s why I’m so guarded with my money,” said the journal- ism student. “Sometimes I have to remind myself it’s not free money.” She forced herself to budget, and plans to continue doing so until her loan is paid off. Financial guru and TV show host Gail Vaz- Oxlade said it’s important that students real- ize debt can get out of hand as interest on their loans accumulates, and that making minimum payments will only make for an even more expensive education in the long run. The usual OSAP loan repayment period is 9.5 years. Graduates can pay it as quickly as possible or take up to 15 years. The faster one repays, the higher their monthly loan pay- ments, but the lower their total interest pay- ments will be. “You have to answer that question for your- self,” said Ms. Vaz-Oxlade. “Do you want a $35,000 education to turn into $70,000?” The financial expert visits post-secondary schools to talk to students about what can happen if they don’t manage their money properly. Ms. Vaz-Oxlade includes in her presenta- tion a comparison of what the interest would look like if they paid it off in different amounts of time “so they have a sense of what interest means. “None of this stuff can be done in the abstract,” she said. “It all has to be done in absolute and concrete terms.” Durham College offers various tools and free programs to get students on track. “We find many people worry about money, but don’t think about money in a proactive way,” said Chris Rocha, director of student aid and financial awards. The college makes generic financial aid presentations to high school students, usu- ally when they’re in Grade 12. Once the students are in college, the school offers specific workshops, such as one on repaying and managing OSAP, and reporting the information properly. A series on money management touches on savings accounts, budgeting, tracking spending, emotion- al spending and decision making when it comes to finances. Staff also provide information on how to get bursaries, external supports of funding, and achieving good credit ratings. Ms. Rocha said it’s important students are aware of the little traps, such as piddling money away on small things like coffee. They’re “the little things that slip through your fingers and you can’t really count where that money went.” That's part of the reason Ms. Di Menna laughs that she still wears clothes from her teenage years and continues to shop at thrift stores. "Kids grow out of their clothes before they can even wear them," she said. Staff will get the students to figure out how much their small expenses add up to in a month and a year, and discuss what would have been a better choice. Durham College also offers one-on-one counselling, and has specific programs tai- lored toward different demographics, such as first-generation students or aboriginal stu- dents who may have varying financial litera- cy. “Students are going into debt,” said Ms. Rocha. “There are increasing costs. It’s a reality people have to be aware of. But again it’s doing the best you can to keep the debt down.” Ms. Vaz-Oxlade has met numerous gradu- ates who have told her it took them just three years to pay off their debt. If they put their mind to it, and realize how important it is in the long run to pay off student loans as soon as possible, “you will consciously pay it off,” she said.

Lesson One: Figure out what your education will really cost. People typically have no appreciation for the impact of interest on their purchases. Student debt is a great example of that. The default repayment period for government student loans is almost 10 years. And while many people opt for the minimum payment to keep more money in their pockets, the outcome is a much more expensive education. Alex decides to take on $6,500 a year in student loans for each of the four years in school. When Alex gradu- ates, the minimum payment on that $26,000 in student debt will be $315 a month. Very manageable. Over the life of the loan, that’ll add $11,854 in interest to the cost of the education. So Alex will pay $37,854 for that $26,000 education, an increase of 46 per cent. Moral of the lesson: Paying only the minimum turns good debt into bad debt. Aim to have an undergrad degree paid off in three to five years. Lesson Two: Don’t take on more than one year’s net income in student debt. Sam’s income after graduation will be $34,000 a year net (after taxes) so Sam can’t take on more than $34,000 in student loans. A $34,000 loan fixed for three years has a monthly payment of $1,065, gobbling 38 per cent of the monthly money and costing $4,356 in interest. Over five years the payment drops to $689 or 24 per cent of the monthly money, and costing $7,364 in interest. Moral of the lesson: Taking on too much in student debt dooms you to staying in debt far longer, making you pay more interest (bad) and delay the other things you want from life (ugly!).

I started noticing the phenom- ena when apple trees burst into bloom three weeks ago, each one I came across literally covered in white. An old pio- neer orchard I often walk through, now part of a nature reserve, has century-old apple trees with hollow trunks and bro- ken limbs, and yet they’re still alive, with young, vigorous arms that produce heri- tage apples most years. If even half those flowers were pollinated, there should be a bumper crop come September. Not only were the apples trees espe- cially beautiful, they smelled heavenly. If I were a bee I would spend my whole day nuzzling those delicate pink-and- white flowers for the fragrance alone, never mind the nectar. As it was, I kept breathing deeply, inhaling the perfume, enjoying every sweet wave carried on the breeze. Like many women, I have quite an acute sense of smell, and walk- ing through a natural area in blossom time is one of life’s great pleasures. This week nannyberries are in full bloom, creamy-white, curved clusters that look almost fuzzy, given all the tiny five-petaled flowers that make them up, spiky stamens protruding. Their sweet scent doesn’t carry as strongly as, say, lilacs do, but up close they’re exquisite. And with so many nannyberry blossoms at the tip of twigs right at head height, it’s easy to dip your nose in every one you come across, to test it out. My walks take longer as I stop and sniff, smiling all the while. Red-osier dogwood bushes are flower- ing now, too, their flat-topped clusters of four-petaled florets half the size of nan- nyberries. They aren’t as generous with their scent, which may be a good thing, as it’s faintly punky. Hawthorns give off great waves of their own unique bou- quet, half sweet, half musky. It’s like the powerful smell of red elderberry -- you either like it or hate it. I happen to love it, just as I do the spicy aroma of balm of Gilead, the odor of chokecherry leaves opening, the pungent smell of highbush cranberries after the first frost in fall. Lots of smells are indescribable, but deeply evocative, carrying you straight back to somewhere in the past. Dame’s rocket, showy pink, white and lavender non-native wildflowers blooming every- where now, remind me of a powder puff in my grandma’s bedroom. The perfume of pine needles baking in the sun, wild thyme and grasses crushed underfoot, even the earth itself, deep in a cool for- est, has a familiar fragrance. They all mix in a great potpourri that changes weekly as we move through summer. Wild roses will be blooming soon, my favourite of all. Reason to breathe deep, get out there and enjoy.

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 The Great Outdoors See Ariel on Facebook withLook out for ticks in Durham Whitby residents alarmed to find tick on their dog Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com Ticks are nasty little creatures that can severe- ly affect both pets and humans with Lyme disease. Whitby residents Kit and Bob Bauldry were alarmed when they recently found one on their dog, Benson. “I thought I was going to lose my mind,” said Ms. Bauldry. They were nervous because they’ve seen first-hand what Lyme disease can do -- their son-in-law Kevin Sherriff has it, and he’s been suffering from it for two years. It causes anything from fever and headache to prob- lems with the joints and heart. Visit durham. ca for more information on Lyme disease in humans. According to Durham Veterinary Clin- ic (DVC), Lyme disease is transmitted by infected deer and black legged ticks. In dogs, it affects their tissue, causing lameness and severe illness. Symptoms include fever, anorexia, lethargy, lameness, renal failure and neurological symptoms. Mr. Sherriff is the founder of Lyme Savers, a Whitby-based foundation to promote aware- ness of the disease and to provide financial assistance for affected Cana- dians. A doctor who is a spe- cialist in Lyme disease hap- pened to be staying with the family when Benson’s tick was found, and was able to remove it properly. You can search online for the best ways to remove a tick, but Mr. Sherriff believes it’s best to take pets to a vet, and humans to a doctor to let them do it. “Don’t kill them and don’t take it off your- self,” warned Mr. Sherriff. Squeezing it may cause the bacteria to enter the wound, and pulling the head off can lead to infection. DVC also suggests a vet remove the tick. After safely removing the tick, the Bauldrys sealed it in a jar and called numerous vets to have it checked for Lyme disease. After calling six, Ms. Bauldry was able to find one willing to send it in for testing. Six days and $200 later, the family was relieved it tested negative. But it bothered the family that ticks are in the area. They live in a residential area of Whitby, and the only time Benson has left the backyard recently is for a walk around the neighbourhood. I don’t want to alarm anyone; the tick tested negative and I haven’t heard of a Lyme dis- ease outbreak. But it’s still something to be aware of. Check your pet for ticks after long walks and hikes through thick brush, grass, and wooded areas, or if they have been missing, according to DVC. “People have to be aware to check dogs, check kids and yourselves when you come in,” said Mr. Sherriff. He said ticks are really good hiders and “it feels like a skin tag.” They like crevices, so check behind and in your dog’s ears, and throughout their fur. Dogs can be vaccinated and there is treat- ment available if they’re infected. The earlier the treatment, the better. According to campbellfordvet.ca, avoid long grass, shrubs and wooded areas, particularly in the spring and fall. Forests where deer are known to live are of particular concern. When walking, try to keep your dog on the path and don’t brush against vegetation. Cats can get Lyme disease, but it’s rare. Visit lymesavers.ca for more information on Lyme disease.

Pickering student takes step into politics Legislative Page program a learning experience for area youth I’m a Grade 8 student at Maple Ridge Pub- lic School in Pickering and recently had a unique opportunity to serve as a page at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The Legislative Page Program is one of a kind in Canada where a diverse and talent- ed group of selected students from across Ontario have an opportunity to get first- hand experience working in the legisla- ture. Pages get a variety of experiences dur- ing their stay, including delivering messag- es and water for the MPPs in the chamber, taking classes in legislative process and mathematics, and meeting with key legis- lative players such as the party leaders and the Speaker of the House. I was of one of 20 students chosen to participate from April 8 to April 25. The legislature is a very fast- paced environment and the pages have to be very alert so that they can respond quickly to their jobs. During my term, I observed provincial government from a much closer vantage point than most Ontario citizens. As a page, I learned how government works, how a bill is passed, how a law is made, and I got to experience the live dis- cussions amongst all the parties. My favou- rite time of day was “Question Period”. It was a lifelong educational and learning experience. The page program has definitely opened my eyes. I would like to get more involved in such processes which affect all of us on a daily basis, such as when I will be eligible to vote I know exactly what I’m voting for. I am a die-hard Leafs fan and not interest- ed in politics at all but I highly recommend it for all students, even those not particu- larly interested in politics and government. I think it’s our civic duty to learn what hap- pens behind the scenes at the Queen’s Park so we can make more educated and informed decisions at the time of voting. I also got to learn about the protocols of Queen’s Park as it’s not how we operate every day. Being in the uniform, getting ready, having a quick bite to maintain the energy, and being attentive with a poker face all the time was a new experience for me. Being non-partisan was a new thing for me as well but I learned the importance of it. It helped me to see the MPPs beyond their role of the party representatives. All pages had a chance to meet with the Lieutenant-governor, Premier, Speaker, and even had lunch with their respective MPPs. The best part for me was having an informal talk with the MPPs whenever pos- sible. I must say all the MPPs were kind and friendly to the pages, which made it fun to talk to them. My best reward was to meet some awesome students from all over Ontario and make long-lasting friendships. It was an amazing experience and I wish I could go there again. The staff who work with the pages direct- ly in the quarters are also fantastic, very supportive and encouraging. They have a tough job to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Just leave that hose on overnight while watering that parched lawn and pay the bill when it arrives in the mail, that’s the attitude of many. But they are wrong. Eighty-four percent of us live in a narrow southern strip of land and there’s a growing thirst for water in that urban area. Pollution is degrad- ing our water supply, Environment Canada warns, and overuse upsets aquatic ecosystems, while our munici- palities are faced with ever-increasing costs to treat our water and deal with wastewater. Recent inquiries into the marketplace brought mixed advice for gardeners and landscapers hoping to nd ways to minimize water waste. One veteran landscaper encountered at the Royal Botanical Gar- dens Home Show held in Burlington in May identi ed plant choice as one way to conserve water, while an Oakville-based entrepreneur at the same show touted a containing-garden watering system that runs on solar power. Ron Charron, co-owner with his wife Karen of the business Yesterday’s Garden based in Hanover, Ont., points out that the choice of plants determines how much water has to be used to keep them green. “The trend is to landscaping that involves less main- tenance, more specimen planting. There is zero-scape landscaping that requires very little watering, and there are whole groups of plants that are suitable for that.” The extreme, of course, is no-lawn landscaping, which cuts back on water usage since lawns require a lot of water. “We sell trees, shrubs and perennials so we often build a landscape with no grass,” says Charron. “A lot of landscapers are very concerned with grass and turf and so on; well we are the opposite.” Charron’s rm sells specialty shrubs and garden trees – “You don’t need as many of them, you just need a few to make a point. They are smaller, more con- trolled and they have positive attributes.” The father of this movement is Englishman Adri- an Bloom, he says. “The trend used to be toward the English-style cottage gardens. Now Adrian Bloom is leading the way to establishing conifer gardens with no perennials or annuals … Perennials are important but not as prevailing as they were 10 years ago.” But if you go for annuals, in containers or hanging baskets, a new product imported from Britain keeps those plants watered regularly using solar power – even while the homeowner is away on vacation. Wade Pitman is an Oakville-based retiree who was browsing online for watering information and came across the Irrigatia Solar Automatic Watering System. He bought Canadian rights to distribute the system last year. Pitman described the $100 product he had on display at the RBG show in May. “It is very environmentally friendly in that it takes rainwater that has been collected, and then pumps it out using solar energy to the plants, so it is not con- nected to your house in any way.” The product can pump out 7.5 litres of water every three hours, enough for ve large hanging baskets or 12 20-litre pots, with three settings depending on how much water is required, Pitman says. The system drips water into the roots, and fertilizer and plant food can be added into the barrel. The business is web-based; visit irrigatia. ca.

But for the 10 per cent of Canadians that The Arthritis Society says are living with osteoarthritis (OA), enjoying the warm weather isn’t always easy. Activi- ties such as biking, golfing and gardening, for example, may be a challenge if they are suffering with chronic knee pain. “The pain of knee OA can not only impact one’s lifestyle, it can also have negative effects on productivity at home and at work, and on emotional health,” says Dr. Philip Baer, Rheumatologist. “Working with a doctor to develop an indi- vidualized treatment plan can help patients with knee OA better manage their pain, so they can reconnect with their lives.” While there are a number of medications available to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with OA of the knee, it’s important to ensure that pain is managed in the saf- est way possible. Following these tips can help: Know the risks There are risks associated with some pain reliev- ers. Opioids, for example, may be highly addic-tive, while gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported with use of non-steroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs (NSAIDS), and high doses of acetaminophen can lead to liver toxicity. There are other treatments, however, that can provide effective pain relief, are non-addictive and well- tolerated. Don’t mix The effect of some medications can sometimes be increased or decreased when administered in combination with other medication, includ- ing prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, and even food. A healthcare professional can advise on any potential interactions between medications. Don’t overdo itAs specified by a healthcare professional, when taking prescription and OTC medications, including acetaminophen or ibuprofen, do not exceed the maximum daily recommended limit. Read and follow the label Always follow the instructions for use of any prescription and OTC medica- tions. It is also a good idea to address outstanding questions or concerns with a healthcare professional. Talk to a doctor People with chronic pain should always consult their physi- cian before beginning a new medication, whether it’s pre- scription or OTC.

With today’s proven tech- nology you can spend your summer days relaxing outdoors, rather than being inside the house with your air-condition- er running. Patio and deck covers now bring the sun and shade together. While blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays and most of the IR rays (which create heat) you can protect your family and furniture from the elements and stay comfortably cool. When the weather shifts, you’re still pro- tected from the wind and rain. Under your patio cover you can barbeque in any weather. Gone are the days when your only options were a solid cover or canvas awning; neither of these let the light shine through. Acrylic sheeting creates a soft, even, sunlit glow for a cozy and comfortable setting. The rooms adjacent to your back deck stay brighter and more enjoyable as daylight streams through. No need to keep the lights on during the day… those days are over. Your patio cover can be fully custom- ized to suit your home. A broad variety of exterior applications ranging from patio- or deck covers to pool or hot tub enclosures, carports, sunrooms, even hobby greenhouses. Greenhouse-qual- ity structures are made using an all-alu- minum frame with double-wall acrylic sheets, which carry a 30-year warranty against discolouration (yellowing). You will never have to worry about replacing or maintaining any component. Coupled with the durability of powder-coated alu- minum, your structure will look new for years to come, adding permanent value and beauty to your home. This year, make your backyard the oasis you’ve been dreaming of.

Case in point, Now You See Me. Since watching the trailers, this was one of the movies I was looking forward to seeing this summer. But on Friday, I read nothing but bad reviews and I began to have doubts. I’m glad I didn’t let some snobbish crit- ic talk me out of going to see this entertain- ing and sometimes laugh-out-loud movie. The story revolves around four magi- cians, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco, who sepa- rately are doing OK in the world of magic. They get called by a hooded figure and one year later are one of the hottest shows in magic, calling themselves the Four Horsemen. When the illusionists rob a Paris bank while doing their show in Las Vegas, the FBI sends in Mark Ruffalo to solve the crime. Also looking to take the Horsemen down is Morgan Freeman, a modern-day non-believer out to debunk all magicians. Throw in Michael Caine as the Horsemen’s financial backer and you have a great recipe for a fun movie. This isn’t Citizen Kane, and maybe that’s what is bothering some critics, but it is a fun movie with great action scenes and an ending I didn’t see coming. Harrelson, as mentalist Merritt McKin- ney, is particularly good. Now You See Me has some great tricks and, as with magic, what you are watching isn’t always where the trick is happening. The same is true for some critics, what you are reading isn’t always what you should expect in the theatre. I give it four stars out of five. Watch for Mike’s next review. mike Johnston Managing Editor Movie TimeJAM-ing in the Village this weekend Free music festival hits the streets mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Hot Air feels right at home in Pickering Village and the Uxbridge-based band’s appearance this year is a family affair for Sheila-Marie Richardson. The band, which plays jazz and much more, is once again booked to play the Pickering Village JAM, a free music festi- val on Old Kingston Road. The June 6 to 9 event has grown to four days, with things kicking off with Country in the Courtyard on Thursday night. Over the weekend, a slew of performers from west Durham, The Dirt Squirrel Allstars from Oshawa, Whitby's Matthew James and Dan Clancy and many more musicians and dancers are taking the stages. Known for bringing fine weather to the JAM, Hot Air can rightfully claim to be the outdoor event's good luck charm: the band has played the JAM every year but one, and that year the weather didn't co- operate. Richardson plays keyboard, sings and is the band's music director. Her dad, Ted Richardson, plays the trumpet. And at this weekend’s event, her son, Drew Chester, is also performing and her daughter, Car- lannah Chester, is selling her jewelry. “It’s been such a joy for me to have my father, my mentor, the jazz man he’s been all his life (in the band with me),” she says. “I can always take a lesson from him because he’s got so much experience.” Richardson says her dad, 82 years young, teaches trumpet and still gets in an hour of practice every day. He taught his grandson before the former Pickering Idol winner moved on to guitar, keyboard and singing. Hot Air is celebrat- ing 15 years in 2013. And while it's not a full big band, which has 18 musicians, at 17 it's as close as it gets. “We’re very eclectic,” Richardson says of Hot Air. “We do the jazz, the Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble stuff, and we also do some 70’s disco and R and B. We kind of span the decades and we try to keep that variety.” The same applies to the band in terms of the members' ages: Ted Richardson is one of two octogenarians (Will Davey is the other) and Hot Air once featured a young Nikki Ponte, another Pickering idol winner who made a big splash in Greece. If the Chester and Richardson names sound familiar, it’s because Sheila-Marie and her husband, David Chester, run Chalet Studio in Claremont. Asking her to name-drop reveals artists such as Blue Rodeo, Prairie Oyster and Chantal Kreviaz- uk who have recorded there. But recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rush has had a special relation- ship with the north Pickering recording studio. “They wrote several of their albums here,” Richardson says. “They came to do their pre-production. They would live here for months at a time.” Visit Hot Air's website, hotairband.ca.

The Ajax resident has accepted a foot- ball scholarship from one of the premiere schools in the United States, joining the Oklahoma Sooners. “When I was done high school I knew I wanted to play American football, so my thing was, I had to take a chance. I had a couple offers to play in Canada, but I really wanted to play American football,” says the 21 year old of the decision that helped pave the way to an NCAA Divi- sion-I program. After four years at Pickering High School, St. John dug deep into his pock- ets to meet the financial commitment, packed his bags and headed to California to attend Fresno City College to play foot- ball and get some exposure. After being regarded as one of the top players in the state, he transferred to another junior college, Trinity Valley in Texas, where the financial commitment was eased with some assistance from the school. He flourished there, and offers from some of the top programs in the NCAA didn’t just filter in, they poured. It total, he estimates he received 500 letters from schools who reached out to him. “It was a crazy process,” says the offen- sive tackle, who checks in at six-foot- seven, 305 pounds. “Growing up in Ajax we didn’t have a lot of American schools coming to recruit players. It was kind of overwhelming at first because newspa- pers were reaching out to me, coaches were flying in to see me, calling me on the phone.” He sifted through all of the offers, vis- ited Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas and Okla- homa. The opportunity to play at Okla- homa, with the reputation of a winning program and all of the tradition, was too much to pass up, and he signed in Febru- ary. “The No. 1 thing I was looking for was a winning program,” he says of his list of cri- teria for making a decision. “At Pickering High School I came from a winning pro- gram. We never won the Metro Bowl, but we probably only lost four or five games in my high school career. “The tradition as well. They put a lot of players in the pros. They win. When you go there you know you will have a Bowl invite and be one of the top teams in the country and the best team in the Big 12. I knew that was something I really wanted to be a part of, having a chance to go to Bowl games every year and be a part of big-time football.” Big-time it is, with 85,000 fans in atten- dance at most home games. At this point, he has a junior and senior year of eligibility left, but he’s not sure if Oklahoma will red-shirt him this season, meaning he can practise with the team but not play, which would allow him to ease into the program, adjust to life on campus, and then play out his two years of eligibility starting in the fall of 2014. When he does suit up, St. John will be making history. “It’s surreal,” he says of taking time to reflect on what has transpired. “Especial- ly being the first Canadian to ever play for Oklahoma. That’s going to be a big thing.” He heads to Oklahoma in the next cou- ple of weeks to begin training for the sea- son, and when he’s not on the field, St. John will be in the classroom studying communications or business marketing. His aspirations are to play pro football after graduation. AJAX -- After four years at Pickering High School followed by two more of junior col- lege in California and Texas, Josiah St. John accepted a scholarship to play football for the Oklahoma Sooners. The Ajax resident leaves later this month to begin work- outs. SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland To watch a video view the website with Football Ajax-Pickering Dolphins find wins hard to come by PICKERING -- The much anticipated 2013 OVFL season began with the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins bantams suffering their first defeat after their 22-0 loss to the Markham Raid- ers. Two offensive fumbles early in the first quarter made it difficult for the Dolphins to regain momentum. The defensive line held strong, although it was unable to ward off the approaching Raiders. Notable defensive players were linebacker Cameron Tabatabaei with three tackles and six assists, defensive lineman Christopher Sabat with one tackle and seven assists, and linebacker Cristian Claros-Ayala with two tackles and seven assists. The Dolphins OVFL junior team seems to be the only hope for the Dolphins as it revenged bantams with a 47-6 win over the Raiders. Some outstanding Dolphins players were on the defence, LB Kesean Bennett, LB Alfred Green, DL Nathaniel Benjamine and DL Max Stucklschwaiger. On the offence were RB Trey Humes, RB Jordan Grimes, RB Darnel Jarrett, RB Nathan Jones and WR Tevin Lawrence. It was a team effort with all players contributing to the win. The Ajax Pickering Dolphins varsity team conceded a loss to the Raiders. There were some great defensive plays from Kamua Farrell-Burke, Trevaughan James, Patrick O’Brien, Elijah Williams, Kordal Darling, Kyshaun Stewart and Trey White. On the offence were RB Raishaun Provo and WR Josh Henry. Basketball Chelayne Bailey invited to national team tryout PICKERING -- Chelayne Bailey will be one of 17 players looking to land a spot on the Cadette women’s national basketball team when a tryout by invitation only will be held in Barrie June 8-9. The summer of 2012 saw the team cap- ture the bronze medal at the FIBA U17 world championship, the first podium-finish that Canada has reached at the event. The young women hoping to make the 2013 squad will look to carry that success forward at this summer’s FIBA Americas U16 championship for women. Bailey, a Pickering resident, was a mem- ber of the Pickering High School senior girls’ team this past season. While the team’s focus will remain on qualifying for the 2014 FIBA U17 world championship, head coach Carly Clarke rec- ognizes the importance of this season as a learning experience to further the develop- ment of the invited athletes. 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 • Ju n e 6 , 2 0 1 3 25 PAreyou..

Track and field athletes shine OSHAWA -- A large contingent of local ath- letes are competing at the Civic Recreation Complex for the provincial high school track- and field championships June 6-8. Mariam Abdul-Rashid, a junior at Eastdale Collegiate, qualified for the OFSAA champi- onships in grand style, winning three gold medals over two days at the Central Region meet, also held on the Civic track, May 29-30. Abdul-Rashid sped to victory in the 100- metre, 200m and 400m runs, each time edging out an athlete from Pickering High School. Zanara McIntosh had to settle for silver in the 100m and 200m, while Divi- na Henry couldn’t quite run Abdul-Rashid down in the 400m. All told, there were 44 gold medals won by LOSSA athletes, including six who won two individual event titles, and three champion- ship relay teams from Pickering High. Ashley Chin from Pickering’s Dunbarton High School won two throwing events in the midget boys’ division, the shot put and jave- lin. Tarrick Brissett from Pickering High also won a pair of individual golds, in junior boys’ shot put and discus. Other individual champions were Picker- ing’s Alanna Hendricks in junior 80m hur- dles, Pine Ridge’s Tia Thevenin in senior 100m hurdles, Dunbarton’s Soman Baig in midget 400m, Pickering’s Keyshaun Cumber- batch in junior 200m, Pickering’s Treshaun Abrahams-Webster in junior 100m hurdles, Dunbarton’s Zack Lakeit in junior long jump, Pickering’s Matthew Anane in senior 100m hurdles, Pickering’s Lukas Jarron in senior 400m hurdles. Winning relay teams were Pickering’s midget girls’ 4x100m, junior boys’ 4x100m and senior boys’ 4x100m, and Dunbarton’s open 4x400m team. Of the 13 records established, two were done by local athletes, Chris Miller of Wilson in the junior boys’ 300m hurdles and Picker- ing’s junior girls’ relay team. OSHAWA -- Sommer Sharpe from St. Mary Catholic School clears a hurdle with ease. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Spring is in the air and after a long winter you’ve opened your windows to find that they are old, ugly or just in rough shape. 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.
