DOWNLOAD WITH ENTER WITH Durham monkey trial coming to an end JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Legal arguments have been com- pleted in the civil court battle over ownership of Darwin the monkey. Superior Court Justice Mary Vallee has reserved judgment; no date has been set for a ruling. The judge heard four days of evidence on a lawsuit by Yasmin Nakhuda, who is seeking to have the monkey returned from the Sun- derland-area sanctuary it’s been held at since being seized by Toronto Animal Services offi- cers in December of 2012. A lawyer for the sanctuary has countered that Ms. Nakhuda has no legal claim to ownership of the mon- key, which under law is regarded as a wild ani- mal. Earlier Tuesday, the president of the pri- mate sanctuary denied she drummed up false abuse allegations against the monkey’s for- mer owner. Sherri Delaney, president and owner of Story Book Farm primate sanctuary, com- pleted her testimony Tuesday in the trial to determine ownership of the famous Japanese macaque. Darwin first made international headlines Dec. 9, 2012 after he was spotted roaming an Ikea parking lot in a shearling coat. Toron- to Animal Services captured him and trans- ferred him to the sanctuary the next day. Darwin’s former owner and self-proclaimed “mom” Yasmin Nakhuda launched her law- suit against the sanctuary less than a week later. Tuesday was the final day of a four-day trial that began in late May. In the sanctuary’s initial statement of defence, it alleged Ms. Nakhuda and her fam- ily hit Darwin with a wooden spoon, strangled him and neglected to change his diapers for up to 36 hours. Ms. Nakhuda’s lawyer Ted Charney demand- ed Ms. Delaney show proof of the abuse in his cross-examination, even though the allega- tions were dropped at the start of the trial. “The defendant trumped up a bunch of alle- gations and slapped them in a pleading, so they would hit the media across the country and discredit my client,” he argued. But Ms. Delaney said she never intended to make headlines with the claim. “To be quite honest, I wasn’t concerned with the media,” she said. Mr. Charney read an e-mail that Ms. Nakhu- da sent to a primate trainer, apparently the only evidence for the allegations. In the e-mail, Ms. Nakhuda describes “brandishing” a spoon to get Darwin’s attention but never hitting him with it. “A spoon is just a spoon unless there is a rea- son to fear it,” Ms. Delaney replied. On Monday, the court heard that Ms. Dela- ney had received death threats, including a threat to burn down the sanctuary, from peo- ple claiming to be supporters of Ms. Nakhuda. Ms. Delaney, a Durham Region Police officer, has asked for three Ms. Nakhuda supporters to be banned from entering the courthouse. The individuals allegedly filmed and took photos of Ms. Delaney inside court, which is illegal. Ms. Delaney testified Tuesday that none of the threats came “directly” from Ms. Nakhu- da. “She didn’t say them, no,” she said, after some hesitation. Mr. Charney argued that Ms. Delaney had made threats of her own, including when she said in a sworn affidavit that she planned to report Ms. Nakhuda to the Law Society of Upper Canada for allegedly lying under oath. According to Mr. Charney, the suggestion was: “If (Ms. Nakhuda) continues with this litigation, she’s going to report her to the law society.” Ms. Nakhuda is a real estate lawyer and would face serious repercussions for profes- sional misconduct. The case will ultimately rest on who can prove rightful ownership of Darwin, consid- ered a piece of property in this case, not who loves him the most or who is best able to care for him. However, Ms. Delaney testified Monday that the Japanese macaque is thriving at the sanc- tuary, where he is being transitioned slowly from human contact “so he can learn to be a monkey.” She said he has already grown a thick coat of hair and stronger muscles in the six months he has been in a large enclosure. He will only become more aggressive as he grows older, Ms. Delaney warned. “Darwin was treated like Ms. Nakhuda’s son. Although that might not be a problem now, that will become a problem later when he grows up and his testosterone kicks in,” she said. Ms. Nakhuda has said if she wins Darwin back, she will move to Kawartha Lakes, where it is legal to own a monkey. On Monday, Toronto Animal Services offi- cer David Behan testified he attempted nei- ther to coerce nor threaten Ms. Nakhuda after Darwin was found wandering loose at the Ikea store. Although Ms. Nakhuda was distraught about giving the monkey up, she did so know- ing she was surrendering the animal -- which is illegal in Toronto -- to TAS, Mr. Behan said. “I asked her openly if she would surren- der the animal to us and she said yes,” he told Superior Court judge Mary Vallee. “I explained to her that Darwin would be taken somewhere comfortable and more suit- able -- a sanctuary or something,” he testified. Ms. Nakhuda is arguing that TAS did not have legal authority to withhold the monkey, and that she signed a surrender form under duress. Ms. Nakhuda testified she was threatened with criminal charges and signed the form believing the monkey would be returned to her after being tested for communicable dis- eases. Mr. Behan testified that although he told Ms. Nakhuda other “agencies” includ- ing federal wildlife officials might become involved, he never threatened to have her charged criminally. And he denied hinting the monkey would be returned. -- with files from Torstar news service OSHAWA -- Yasmin Nakhuda walked brisk- ly past the media throng as she made her way into the Oshawa Courthouse. Ms. Nakhuda has filed a lawsuit to get the monkey back. She was the former owner of the now-famous Japanese macaque who became known as the ‘IKEA monkey.

Dominic Chong, 26, faces a mandatory three-year term after being convicted Friday of several weapons charges. Mr. Chong was found guilty of possessing a loaded restricted firearm, after classmates found a .45 calibre pistol in a backpack he left in a Durham Col- lege classroom last January. Mr. Chong had pleaded not guilty to a num- ber of firearms offences, putting prosecutor Mitchell Flagg to the test of proving he had knowledge and control of the semi-automat- ic Colt. Superior Court Justice Myrna Lack found that circumstantial evidence in the case -- including surveillance video showing Mr. Chong arriving at school toting a backpack, and the discovery by police of documents and texts bearing his name along with the gun inside it -- led to no other logical conclu- sion. “I infer Mr. Chong’s knowledge of the presence of the gun from the circumstances,” the judge said Friday afternoon in Oshawa. “In my view, there is no other rational conclu- sion on the evidence in this case.” The ruling left Mr. Chong, who was an envi- ronmental technology student at Durham at the time of his arrest, visibly upset. During the trial, Justice Lack heard that Mr. Chong was among a group of students who assembled in a classroom on the morning of Jan. 10, 2012, only to learn the class was can- celled. “There was a general stampede of students out the door when that happened,” Justice Lack said. A few lingering students noticed a leather backpack had been left behind and when one looked inside for ID, the gun was discovered. Students alerted school administration and security. The judge noted it took campus security officers 15 to 20 minutes to respond, “which I found astonishing in today’s envi- ronment.” The matter was turned over to Durham police, who searched the bag and found papers, including student loan and banking documents, bearing Mr. Chong’s name. He was arrested near his home in Ajax later that day. Justice Lack convicted Mr. Chong of three firearms charges, the most serious of which is possessing a loaded restricted weapon. He remains free on bail pending sentencing. Defence lawyer Sam Scratch asked for time to consider whether to launch a “full-fledged Constitutional challenge” to the mandatory three-year sentence that accompanies the restricted weapon charge. The law is cur- rently under review in the Court of Appeal, he said. The matter returns to court June 19.

A recent runner-up in the Miss World Canada pageant, the 23-year-old from Whitby says that while the sash and oppor- tunity to compete in the pageant gave her many things, beauty was not one of them. “It’s a wonderful platform to get to speak, a wonderful platform to get to travel but just because I put on that sash in my opin- ion doesn’t necessarily mean that (I’m) a beautiful person,” she announced to a room full of young women at the first-ever Girl Talk Empowerment Conference in Oshawa on June 4. Ms. Zeppieri, who launched a social enterprise for youth in Durham Region last year called Make Your Mark, created Girl Talk to inspire girls to break free of stereo- typical perceptions of beauty. “When I’m talking about beauty, I’m talk- ing about something that goes far deeper than what’s on the surface,” she said. “I’m talking about a beautiful soul, a beautiful person -- a person who chooses to spread kindness in their own lives and to the people around them.” More than 1,000 young women from across Durham and the GTA gathered at the Embassy Church for the free confer- ence that touched on various issues such as body image, self-esteem and bullying. The event included a special presenta- tion by Natalie MacNeil, an Emmy award- winning media entrepreneur and found- er of the popular blog, SheTakesOnThe- World.com. “You’ve got to be wholly and unapologet- ically you,” she told the audience, encour- aging them to rise above others’ expecta- tions and criticism to pursue their own paths in life. Proceeds from the sale of T-shirts, jew- elry and other items sold during Girl Talk will be donated to “She’s the First” charity, which sends girls in developing countries to school. At the end of the day, participants were asked to fill out a goal-setting sheet with key lessons they learned at the event and how they plan to take those back to their schools and communities. “We hope that today they can get some sort of inspiration, maybe a story or mes- sage will resonate with them and they’ll be inspired to maybe start a club or maybe to treat their sister or their peers a little bit differently,” says Ms. Zeppieri. “It’s all about broadening perspec- tives, opening minds, and empowering women.” visit www.makeyourmarkmovement.com OSHAWA -- Suzie McNeil, a Juno-nominated singer and songwriter, performed dur- ing the first-ever Girl Talk Empowerment Conference hosted by Whitby resident Katie Zeppieri at the Embassy Church recently. The goal of the event was to empower local girls and young women to embrace their talents, take leadership roles and work toward ending bullying. ryan Pfeiffer / metroland View photo gallery from Girl Talk Empowerment Conference 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 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 5 AP WE KEEP OUR PATIENTS SMILING BY TAKINGTHE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

We enjoyed the article on financial litera- cy in the classroom. The Canadian Bankers Association agrees that educating students about money in a way they can relate to is important and needed in the classroom. The article mentioned how financial lit- eracy programming can be included in Ontario classrooms and the CBA does just that with financial literacy seminars. The Your Money seminar has taught over 215,000 high school students about bud- geting, borrowing, saving, investing, and protecting themselves from fraud and is available to any high school in Canada. The non-commercial seminar was devel- oped in partnership with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada and uses vol- unteer bankers from the local community to teach young Canadians about respon- sible money management. In fact, local bankers have taught 85 seminars to more than 2,670 students in Durham Region since the program began. Teachers can request a seminar for their class at www. yourmoney.cba.ca. Melanie Minos Canadian Bankers Association Toronto The ants meet their match I really opened a can of worms a few weeks ago with my column on the ever- expanding ant hill in my backyard. Following the winter, the ant hill looked like the beginning of a small mountain with thousands of the little critters moving in and out unfettered. After trying a pool of hot water and Ant Out, I turned to our readers for advice and man, did you come through. The phone rang off the hook and our Facebook page and e-mail sang with the suggestions from readers who have obvi- ously been dealing with this longer than I have. I won’t go into all the suggestions but here are a few of the most popular. Squeezing lemon juice all around the hill and on top of it would work. It didn’t. Placing cornmeal around the hill was another tried-and-true suggestion. The ants, our readers said, would eat the cornmeal but be unable to digest it and would explode. I didn’t try that. I didn’t want exploding ants all over my backyard. Coffee grounds would work. Just sprinkle them on and around the hill. As a tea drinker, that one wasn’t practi- cal so I stayed away from it. The solution suggested by the vast majority of our readers was mixing Borax with icing sugar. When the ants eat the icing sugar they also get a bit of the Borax and die. A few days after my original column one reader even came in with a small plastic bag of Borax. ‘Use it, it will work’ he said. I went home that night, mixed the two and sprinkled it liberally all over the hill, trying not to get any on myself as the wind shifted directions about 10 times while I was applying the deadly mixture. I waited two days before returning to the scene. Not one ant. None, nada, the ants weren’t marching one by one. It has been a few weeks now and still the ants haven’t returned. Fingers crossed and thanks to all the readers for their suggestions. Oh, and hi Doris. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston feels he’s earned the title ‘King of the Hill’. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Ant Resolution Durham study good news for residents The results of a “groundbreaking” study on childhood cancer clusters concluded that rates are no higher near nuclear plants in Durham Region than in other areas of the province. The study, conducted by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission using data gathered by the provincial government, was commissioned in response to con- cerns raised during public hearings in 2011 over the new reactor build at Darlington. It looked at cancer rates in a 25-kilome- tre radius around the Pickering, Darlington and Bruce nuclear stations. It’s conclusions generally supported other past studies, which is to say that cancers rates remained consistent here in Durham and around the province and that there was no evidence of increased rates of leukemia and other can- cers in the communities that are in close proximity to nuclear generating stations. However, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment was quick to counter the conclusions of the study by pointing out that the method used, an eco- logical study, was insufficient to accurate- ly determine the incidence of cancer, and that the results were diluted by the wide 25-kilometre radius examined. Dr. Cathy Vakil, a family doctor in Kings- ton and member of CAPE, referred to the ecological study method as the “weakest form” of examination in which research- ers were “basically counting up the cancer cases”. That criticism has merit, and we don’t disagree that more study would be required going forward as part of monitoring and oversight, but that’s about the limit of Dr. Vakil’s criticism. No one is rejecting the CNSC study’s findings outright, which is important. Having noted that, however, and despite Ontario Power Generation’s long record of safety, we are discussing nuclear power generation. Thus, as debate continues in Pickering over extending an operating licence for the aging ‘A’ side reactors, and as work con- tinues towards a new build in Darlington, Durham residents should take responsi- bility for education and awareness in their own households and families. In weighing all of the factors, they must determine for themselves if they can live in the shadow of either Pickering or Darling- ton comfortably, without fear or forebod- ing. The fact is, Durham residents have been doing so for more than a generation. Let that be one of your guides. < See an ant colony in action with Namaste! I’m no creep... I like to think that I am a decent sort of man, but I am also a man, and as such I sometimes feel that I carry on my decent, well-mannered shoulders, the weight of every male jerk whoever treated a woman poorly. It’s irrational, I know, but I can’t help it. It’s like I’m the beleaguered press agent of a once great public figure who fell from grace but who is trying to make a comeback. I feel like it’s incumbent upon me to be a good man, because other men have behaved so badly. This strange phenomenon is predomi- nantly noticeable whenever I am out walk- ing by myself and I encounter a woman or group of women. For some reason, possibly having something to do with the fact that women are routinely abused, intimidated, hit on and generally underappreciated, I feel that I have to suddenly do everything in my power to let this person know I am not a creep, stalker, pervert or anything but a gentleman. It can start from hundreds of yards away. The minute she is within sight I begin to assess everything about myself. How am I walking? Is it the carefree, unthreatening saunter of a man in a loving, stable, fulfill- ing relationship or can my gait in any way be construed as leering, wolfish or some- how suspect? I have a bad knee and some- times, particularly if I’ve been out walking for some time and it gets a little sore, I limp. Believe me, you could be the Dalai Llama, Gandhi and Ward Cleaver all rolled into one wholesome, asexual package, but if you’re approaching a lone woman on a path with no one else around and you’re limping ... I’m sorry, you may as well be Jack the Rip- per. Coming up from behind a woman is par- ticularly fraught with danger. I always clear my throat or hum or whistle ridiculously loudly so that my presence is clearly noted and there are no nasty surprises. This very often leaves the woman with the impres- sion that she has been passed by someone out on a day pass. She may be greatly puz- zled, but at least not frightened. Once the woman is close enough that she could easily pick me out of a police line- up, things get even more critical. This is dodgy territory. Hold a glance a second too long or overdo it on the George Hamilton smile and your casual ‘Good morning’ may as well be ‘Hubba hubba, toots.’ If there is cleavage present, I may as well turn around and walk the other way. I’m strong but I’m not omnipotent. Meanwhile, I smile and try to make the least predatory eye contact possible while still acknowledging another human. That last part is important. It’s part of my mission as a decent sort of man. I don’t want any woman to have to feel like she can’t look at me or smile at me as we pass each other, for fear of giving me any kind of wrong signal. We are, first and foremost, human beings and we are connected to one another. If we lose that, we don’t have much left. There is a Sanskrit word, ‘Namaste’ which, loosely translated, means ‘the spirit in me recognizes the spirit in you’. I can’t think of a better way for a decent man and a decent woman to greet each other. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Here’s what our friends had to say: Robyn Minnikin: There’s been a lot of that at the ele- mentary school level too. My son comes home way too often telling me of movies and games and junk they’ve been doing. If there is concern about age and safety, the licence can’t be granted. I’m not worried at all about my safety. 61% 29% 10% 287 votes cast I’m not sure what to think. Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 Have your say on Facebook Featured Letter WIN! A Tim Hortons gift card if you are the Featured Letter author Game on: Community policing at its best To the editor: I have just encountered a perfect exam- ple of Chief Mike Ewles and community policing by the Durham Regional Police Services. Last Sunday my granddaughter celebrat- ed her fourth birthday, so the girls (her cousins) stayed indoors (partly because it rained off and on) and the boys played hockey outdoors on the driveway. When some of the neighbourhood boys joined in, with the permission of my son they moved the net out onto the street for a traditional Canadian street hockey game. As it was a small cull de sac with no through traffic, there did not seem to be a problem. As I and Grandma were leaving, I noticed a DRPS sport util- ity vehicle pull up and the occupant looked things over for a few minutes. I remained to see what he would do (apparently there are towns that do not allow road hockey). The officer got out of his vehicle and approached the seven-, eight- and nine- year-olds playing hockey, asked if they had an extra stick and proceeded to play along with them. Those youth have a new respect for offi- cers along with parents who saw this -- what great community policing. My only question is: Did he keep his flak jacket on because he was afraid of the sharp yellow tennis ball? Ha, ha. Hey chief, that’s community policing as it should be. Kees Stolk Whitby 1.

In my grade 12 history class all we ever did was watch mov- ies like The Davinci Code and other movies I can’t remember. Me and my friends would always get so bored that we never paid any attention (as there were no questions to answer during the movie) and often skipped the class. Lesley Scherer: My son watches movies every day in SK at his school. It’s incred- ibly sad to think that instead of being able to entertain themselves during snacks, lunch and even learning time they are just being put in front of a t.v screen. Kim Young: Maybe they should watch the movie Bad Teacher . -(;o) Adam L Freed: I honestly think that watching movies at school should be a reward for the students that actually worked hard in class for the past while and be used as a learning tool, but only occasionally. Heather Hilts: My daughter told me her grade 9 French class is watching Mada- gascar 3 next week. Why?? Because the majority of the class hasn’t seen it. They’re in grade 9, not grade 1!!

Maybe more than a bit. Four kooky and talented dirty girls have formed a group, The Rack Pack, a comedy col- lective, and watching them rehearse prompts the inevitable question: are you crazy? “We’re all a bit bent,” says Lois Lenarduzzi of Brooklin. “In a very special way,” Fran Stecyk of Ajax says sweetly, adding, “the purpose of life is joy.” “We all look fairly normal, but we’re all a bit bent,” Lenarduzzi emphasizes. “We’re all wild and zany,” says Elizabeth Macdonald Bozzi of Vaughan. “We look normal, but in this group we can go wild and crazy,” says Scugog’s Stephanie Herrera. The Rack Pack Presents... Monty Python- like madness at Durham Improv’s Black Box Theatre. There’s songs, skits, a little improv and some video. In some ways it’s like the slumber party from hell, or Venus. Most of it is racy, but it’s all meant well, for the laughs. And you might find yourself falling out of your chair at some of the insanity they’re prepar- ing. Yup, even the guys, although this show is by women and about women. And what women. Herrera is a comedy machine who honed her skills at Second City and Theatresports Toronto. She founded Dur- ham Improv and last year won the Durham Art of Transition Creative Award for Best Entertainment in Durham. Writing and performing are her big strengths. Stecyk is a veteran of local stages who recently wrote and performed her first one-woman show, Heart Songs, with Soul-O Theatre in Toronto. She says her enthusiasm and background as a performer are what she brings to the group. Macdonald Bozzi is an expert in the area of per- sonal develop- ment and com- munications skills training. Used to being seen and heard, at age 39 she launched a mod- elling career. As for entertaining, she did some acting around two decades ago. Her big contribution to The Rack Pack are her organizational skills. And Lenarduzzi? She paints and writes and calls herself “the art- sy-fartsy of the group.” She is the neophyte. But Lenarduzzi shares a trait with the other ladies: the courage to stand up in front of people and be a nut. She’s always dreamed of performing and this is her chance. “I’m challenging myself to do something that scares the bejeebers out of me,” she says. They wrote the show and worked it out together over eight months, most often meeting at Lenarduzzi’s house. There a skit where the school nurse visits and schoolgirls find out “why they’re so special.” A game show, We Know Women, where the male contestants demonstrate their, uh, knowl- edge of the fairer sex. You’ll meet the Spice Girls -- 30 years later. There’s a seductive Oreo cookie. A parody of The View. And interspersed throughout the show are “celebrities” reading from 50 Shades of Grey. We won’t mention the video; it’ll be a nice surprise. “We wanted to make it guy friendly,” Herrera says. “We want to appeal to everybody,” Stecyk adds. She says the show is appro- priate for those who are old enough “to drink and vote.” “We can only imagine what our mothers will think,” Herrera says. The raunchy fun is at the Black Box The- atre, 1115 Wentworth St. W., Oshawa (at Boundary Road, second floor). There are just two performances, but more may be added: June 21 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on June 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at durhamim- prov.com or by contacting Herrera at info@ durhamimprov.com or 647-899-3342.

We’re here to confirm that uncertainty ends today. We will be moving forward with a responsible and balanced plan for devel- oping the federal lands.” The plan includes the transfer of 5,000 acres of the west portion of the lands to the new Rouge National Urban Park, with the rest dedicated to a future airport and urban and industrial development. “It takes at least 10 years to build an air- port,” Mr. Flaherty said, noting a 2011 Needs Assessment Study for the lands called for an airport to be built sometime between 2027 and 2037. “This is not a science,” he continued. “We may need an airport earlier or later but the key is to get on with it so we continue to have economic development and growth east of Toronto; it’s our turn.” Technological advancements in the avi- ation industry continue to shrink the area needed for an airport, with only about a quarter of the lands required for the future facility. Mr. Flaherty pointed to compatible eco- nomic development such as aeronautics facilities as key candidates for the adjoin- ing development lands, an idea welcomed by Pickering Mayor David Ryan. “The aeronautics industry could take root here in the City of Pickering,” he said, noting the announcement was good news overall. “It does resolve the uncertainty we’ve experienced here for the past 40 years. There will be an economic stimulus for the area and it will have a direct impact on congestion across the GTA by bringing well-paying jobs to Durham Region.” Mr. Flaherty put a damper on area resi- dents’ hopes of seeing the lands converted into a trust for agricultural use, noting there are “no plans on the agricultural side.” Several members of Land Over Landings, a residents’ group that advocates for a land trust, were on hand at the announcement, although they were relegated to a barricad- ed area outside of the location. They were unanimously disappointed with the news, but not ready to give up. “Anyone who was raised in this commu- nity knows how important this land is,” said resident Pat Horne. “Nothing’s changed in our attitude. The land is still here and will remain into the future.” Gord McGregor, chairman of the group, said members will be meeting to form a new strategy in the wake of the announce- ment. “We’re going to have to start a whole new process of politicizing this,” he said. “It’s always been a battle, now we just have to become more diligent.” Rouge National Urban Park The planned Rouge National Urban Park will indeed fulfill a long-time dream of organiz- ers hoping to create an uninterrupted green- space from the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario. With the gift of 5,000 acres from the Pickering federal lands and 1,600 acres cur- rently held by the Ontario Ministry of Infra- structure, organizers were able to fill in the gaps to create one of Canada’s largest urban greenspaces. “This is truly a people’s park,” said Minis- ter of the Environment Peter Kent. “This is a place where nature, culture and agriculture will be protected and celebrated.” He also noted the key placement of the park, within reach of the 20 per cent of Can- ada’s population that resides in the GTA. Glen Murray, Ontario minister of infra- structure, was on hand to address his gov- ernment’s gift of the ministry lands, along with an additional 3,700 acres previously purchased by Ontario and transferred to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. “It’s remarkable for those of us who live here because the GTA has among the low- est amount of greenspace of urban centres. Manhattan has twice as much greenspace as downtown Toronto, so we’re very proud to join the federal government in making this happen.” The new Rouge National Urban Park will be more than 13 times the size of Vancou- ver’s Stanley Park. FLAHERTY from page 1 PICKERING -- Shoveling dirt onto a newly planted tree were, from left, Glen Murray of the Ontario Liberals, Oshawa-Whitby MP and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, federal Environment Minister Peter Kent and local MP Chris Alexander at Pickering Lands site office to announce expanded park lands around the existing provincial Rouge Park.

Rick madonik / ToRsTaR Flaherty announces ‘balanced plan’ for Pickering federal lands Pickering farmers’ market moves toward permanent approval The Pickering Town Centre Farmers’ Market is on its way to gaining official approval as an annual event. At a planning and development meet- ing on June 10, councillors voted unani- mously to recommend a zoning bylaw amendment allowing a seasonal outdoor farmers’ market on the Pickering Town Centre lands be approved. “I really do look forward to this, I think it’s a good design and it worked out great,” said Councillor Peter Rodrigues of the farmers’ market, which has been held for the past two summers under a minor variance from the City. The bylaw amendment would give permanent approval to the seasonal market, held in the east parking lot of the mall. The amendment will come back to council on June 17 for a final vote. 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 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 12 AP �� sme’niW & tseR-roceD ,awahsO seirellaG erutinruF morf hcuoc wen a niw ot ecnahc a rof retnE �� MP 95:11 ta ht61 enuJ yB retnE !LLAC TSAL Scan this page with To Enter Now!

The report had been slated to be dealt with at a works committee meeting on June 12, but councillors voted to postpone deal- ing with the matter until after the summer recess. Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond want- ed the air monitoring study to be dealt with in September by a joint committee made up of the works, finance and health and social services committees. There are no joint committees planned before the end of June and Regional council doesn’t meet in July and August. Having it go to a joint committee would give more councillors a chance to vote on the plan before it gets to council, Coun. Dia- mond said. “We all have an obligation to do something extremely important,” she added. Works commissioner Cliff Curtis said the report was going only to the works commit- tee because “I wanted to fulfill the promise to have it to council by the summer.” The air monitoring program approved by the Province deals with air emissions and off-site monitoring. The plans the Regions provided the Prov- ince are on the energy-from-waste website, Mr. Curtis noted. The website address is www.durhamyork- waste.ca. Mr. Curtis added, “We won’t have any more information than we have now. It’s your chance to approve what we have. “If you want to improve it, there is a cost. There will be no more information than we have now. “The approvals are very robust. It’s when do you want the information in front of you,” he added. If the air monitoring plan is changed, the Region would have to negotiate changes with Covanta, the company that’s building and will operate the incinerator, Mr. Curtis said. “The air monitoring approved exceeds the requirements. They go above and beyond what we committed to,” he noted. “I won’t discuss the report, but I’m happy to go now and I’m happy to go in Septem- ber,” Mr. Curtis said. Oshawa councillor and works committee chairman Nester Pidwerbecki said having the report go to works was what councillors had wanted. “We’re being open and transparent. There’s no games being played here. We have done as instructed, to put it on our agenda.” JUNE 12, 2013 FLYERS WEDNESDAY Carrier of the We ek If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

For the next school year, Francis, Jared Brookes of Sinclair Sec- ondary School, and Molly Graydon of Brock High School will sit at the board table. They’ll also head up the student sen- ate, which is made up of presidents and prime ministers from each high school’s student council. Each spring, three students, one each from Ajax-Pickering, Brock-Uxbridge- Scugog, and Oshawa-Whitby, are select- ed by their peers for the job. 15 AP Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering (NC)—Buying something special for Dad this Father’s Day and want to forego the usual tie and cologne? Consider some of these ideas – from the dad who feels at home in the kitchen to the dad who prefers to be one with nature, find the perfect gift that yours will love. The gourmand: If your dad likes to eat – and what dad doesn’t? Take dad to his favorite eatery. You can always give him a gift certificate to his favorite place, but the best gift is you and the family taking him. The chef: Father’s Day coincides with the summer grilling season. Consider a gift of a stainless steel barbecue set. Dad will appreciate the look and feel of the tools for making the perfect summertime backyard meal for friends and family. The sports fanatic: If Pops is an avid baseball or soccer fan, give him the gift of a family sports day, with tickets to his team’s next game for an outing you can all enjoy with him. Don’t forget to treat him to some traditional stadium fare – hotdogs, popcorn and a refreshing beverage will more than make Dad happy as he cheers on his favourite players and heckles the opponents. The gadget guy: For the dad who loves tech toys, a satellite radio like the SiriusXM Lynxwill provide hours of entertainment, for the car and to take on-the-go. The commute to work will be more enjoyable as he listens to his choice of sports, talk, comedy and commercial-free music or catches up on the news. Enhance the backyard barbecue party by turning up the volume for E-Street Radio, Bruce Springsteen’s24/7 music channel or catch the latest updates on the game from ESPN without having to step away from the burgers and great weather. The outdoorsman: Is Dad restless unless he gets outside, regardless of the time of year or season? Consider getting him into a new outdoor hobby to pass the time – a fishing rod, golf clubs, or even a pair of snowshoes might be just the ticket for a unique gift that will and impress. Whatever you decide to gift Dad with this year, don’t forget to include a hug and appreciative “Thanks for being the best Dad ever!” Gifts forDad this Father’s Day www.makimono.ca AJAX 50 Kingston Road East,RioCan Durham Centre (Just East of Harwood Ave) 905.427.2726 PICKERING 1790 Liverpoorl Rd.,(Just North of Hwy 401) 905.831.0335 2010 ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT NOW AVA ILABLE AT ALL LOCATIONS • sushi • sashimi • tempura • bento boxes • Bring Dad in for Fa ther’s Day!

Submitted photo OFSAA soccer championship lands at Pickering High School Blank Bishop Reding of Milton 2-0 in AAAA gold medal game brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A commitment made in the fall paid huge dividends for Pickering High School at the OFSAA AAAA girls’ soccer champion- ships. In fact, the best thing that could have pos- sibly happened did, as Pickering won the provincial championship by virtue of a 2-0 shutout over Bishop Reding of Milton in the gold-medal game of the tournament June 8 in Niagara Falls. The squad had a number of elite play- ers that contributed to the victory, includ- ing Nichelle Prince and Madeline Iozzi, who have experience at the national level, but opted for track and field as opposed to soc- cer the past couple seasons, as the two sports overlap. “They came to me in the fall and had made the decision that they were going to go for the senior soccer team,” said head coach Laura Williams of the commitment that was made in recognition of the talent pool the team was capable of putting on the field. After going undefeated with a 4-0-1 record, and beating Ajax in the LOSSA final 4-0 to earn the right to advance to OFSAA, Pickering was seeded fifth heading into OFSAA. In the tournament opener against Glebe of Ottawa, Pickering fell behind and had to play catch- up, which was a recurring theme throughout the weekend, said Williams. But in the sec- ond half the talent took over, and Pickering rolled from there. “Their leadership and elite level of play led the team and that happened throughout every single game,” said Williams of the top players stepping up. “Through every game the girls played with such determination and grit. Never once did they play like they were going to be defeated. They kept rising to the occasion. “We had the skill. We had the leadership. We had past success that these girls have been so fortunate to be part of these accom- plishments that it gave them the attitude and desire.” Pickering closed out pool play with wins of 6-3 and 2-1 to finish first, earning a berth in the quarter-finals. Their playoff run started with a thrilling 4-3 double overtime win over Holy Names (Windsor) and continued with a 5-4 victory over Notre Dame (Welland) in the semifinals. Williams, who has been at the school since 1987, celebrated her first OFSAA champion- ship with the win over Bishop Reding in the final. “It was definitely surreal,” she said. “It was a feeling of accomplishment and pride for our school.” In addition to Prince and Iozzi, team mem- bers include Tatiana Ambursley, Mackenzie Barry, Mackenzie Brauer, Alisha Campitelli, Darrian Capizzo, Alyssa Cornelius, Mikayla Dias, Nadine Eltayeb, Karena Evans, Dean- dra Hollingan, Alannah Jelic, Janae John, Kendra Prince, Alicia Rose, Lauren Sims, Gabrielle Somersall, Stephanie Zaban, Ken- dra Thompson. ‘‘Through every game the girls played with such determination and grit.’ Laura Williams Varying degrees of success for Ajax/Pickering schools at OFSAA Soccer and rugby teams search for gold at provincial championships DURHAM -- It was a mixed bag of results for local schools competing at the OFSAA soccer and rugby champi- onships. At the AAAA boys’ soccer champi- onships held in Toronto, Pickering High School returned home with a medal, earning a bronze with a 2-0 shutout over the hosts from St. Michael’s. Pickering finished first in their pool with wins of 4-0 and 4-2 and a 1-1 draw. In the quarter- finals, they blanked John Paul II 3-0, but came up short of advancing to the gold- medal game, falling 1-0 to St. Edmund Campion in the semifinals, relegating them to the bronze-medal game. Notre Dame was the second entry from LOSSA at the AAAA provincial championship, but they struggled in pool play, losing all three games by scores of 2-1, 3-1 and 4-1. At the AA championships held in Stratford, Denis O’Connor posted a 1-2 record in pool play, winning 4-0 but los- ing 3-0 and 4-1, failing to advance into the playoff round. On the girls’ side, at the AAAA soc- cer championships in Niagara Falls, Ajax had a good run, winning 4-0 and 2-0, while losing 3-1 in pool play to advance into the medal round. But in the quarter- finals, they were edged 1-0 by Bishop Reding, who eventually lost in the gold- medal game to Pickering. In Tecumseh for the AA provincial championship, Denis O’Connor finished fourth of five teams in pool play, earn- ing just one win, a 3-2 decision, and a scoreless tie, but close losses of 2-1 and 1-0 prevented them from advanc- ing. The Pickering girls’ rugby team competed at the AAAA/AAA champion- ships in Waterloo, opening with a 19-5 win over St. Peter on the opening day, but lost 39-3 to Barrie to open day two, closing with a 29-0 victory over Ursuline the same day. In the consolation round, they lost in overtime to Oakville.View all the results 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 • Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 17 APMOVEyourself tobetter health DURHAMREGION HEALTHDEPARTMENT Ironheads break losing streak AJAX -- Finally, it’s over. The ugly losing streak the Ajax Ironheads endured for seven games came to a merci- ful end on the weekend, as the Jr. B lacrosse club posted a pair of victories during an overnight eastern trip. Saturday in Nepean, the Ironheads scored the only two goals of the overtime to beat Nepean 13-11, and followed up with an 11-7 victory in Gloucester on Sunday after- noon. In Nepean, James Malloy and Dylan Hut- ton were the marksmen in overtime to give the Ironheads the victory. Those two goals followed singles by Patrick Morgan and Cam Mancini late in the third period to tie the game 11-11, sending it into an extra frame to decide a winner. The game was a roller coaster ride to the very end, with the Ironheads up 9-5 with under three minutes to go in the second period, but down 11-9 with under three minutes to go in the third. The following day in Gloucester, Julian Garritano, McNein Hewitt, Morgan and Zulak had two goals each in the 11-7 win. The Ironheads led 3-2 after the first period and 6-4 through two. Tonight the Ironheads host Orillia at 8 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre. Sat- urday Mimico comes to town for a 2 p.m. game. � � � � � � � � �� French Immersion Educational Summer Day Camp Ajax Main Library 55 Harwood S.

All summer long, they will be able to do a variety of activities, go on group outings, and make lots of new friends. Here are a few tips to help your children enjoy this enriching experience, which they are sure to remember for the rest of their lives. First of all, it’s possible that your children will feel a little nervous about going to camp, espe- cially if it’s their first time. Reassure them by describing all the activities that will be organized throughout the summer, emphasizing the ones you know they’ll prefer. Remind them that this is a perfect opportunity to experience wonderful adventures with other children of the same age. On the first day of camp, start them off on the right foot by giving them a good breakfast. They can take their own lunches and snacks or they can buy food if a cafeteria is available. Be careful of allergies — some camps, just like schools, ban peanuts. Every evening before bedtime, invite your chil- dren to participate in the preparation of their backpacks. Make sure they pack sunscreen, a hat or baseball cap, and a good pair of shoes. As most camps have swimming in their programs, ensure they also include a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothing. Some pools require swim caps to be worn. You might also be required to supply life vests or swim floats if your children need them. Last but not least, go over basic safety rules with your children, and be sure to tell them to have a good time. After all, day camp is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories. Day camp...
