Part of that promotion includes rebranding Durham’s motto from “emerging power” to “place to be.” “We’re not emerging. We’re here, we’re talented and we’re open for business,” said Kathy Weiss, director of eco- nomic development and tourism, not- ing the depart- ment has been overhauled since she arrived on the scene two years ago. “We did an assessment and realized we were more reactionary, we would wait for the phone to ring,” she explained of the creation of the new Investment Attraction unit. “Now we have people dedicated to working the phones and following up, and it’s working great. We’re really setting the stage in terms of creating awareness.” The department builds recognition in inter- national markets through investment mis- sions to countries such as China and Germa- ny, promotes Durham at trade shows and par- ticipates in organizations such as the Great- er Toronto Marketing Alliance and Ontario Clean Technology Alliance, which maximize marketing potential for communities.

OntarioHondaService.com Durham police officer guilty of insubordination Cop still faces criminal charges JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A Durham police officer has been found guilty of insubordination for fail- ing to disclose information about income he earned while suspended with pay. In a ruling released Tuesday, Inspector David Saliba said Constable Scott Andrew Terry was obligated to inform Police Chief Mike Ewles about money he made while awaiting trial on charges including sexual assault and possession of child pornogra- phy. Const. Terry was suspended with pay in January of 2012, but has since been called back to work. During a Police Services Act tribunal in May, Const. Terry’s lawyer, Bill MacKenzie, argued his client was exempt from the dis- closure requirement because his off-duty ventures pre-dated the suspension. The officer has engaged in outside work includ- ing landscaping and home renovations throughout his 28-year career, the tribunal heard. But prosecutor Ian Johnstone said the chief had a duty to investigate whether Const. Terry was taking advantage of his paid sus- pension to pursue what amounted to a sec- ond full-time job. Insp. Saliba adopted that position in his ruling. “I find the order presented to (Const.) Terry to be lawful,” he said. “Chief Ewles has a duty to investigate whether or not PC Terry has employment other than (Durham police). “It is clearly evident PC Terry disobeyed, neglected or failed to carry out the order,” Insp. Saliba said. During the tribunal Const. Terry testi- fied he’d been given a legal opinion that he was not required to comply with the chief’s request. He added that he couldn’t be sure he even made any money from his various companies after his expenses were factored in. “I found the testimony of PC Terry to be lacking credibility,” Insp. Saliba said Tues- day. Submissions on an appropriate penalty will be heard in September. Sanctions for Police Act violations can range from repri- mand to termination. Const. Terry, 48, was charged in January of 2012 with sexual assault, sexual exploita- tion, breach of trust by an official, making child pornography and possession of child pornography. The charges were laid after a three-month investigation by the Special Investigations Unit, which probes incidents of injury, death or sexual assault involving police officers. Const. Terry awaits trial on his criminal charges and faces a further Police Act charge relating to those allegations. Const. Terry was suspended with pay at the time of his arrest. Terms of his suspen- sion included disclosing to police brass any income he received other than his police salary. It was the intent of the police service to deduct extra earnings from Const. Terry’s salary while he remained suspended, the tri- bunal heard. But he was called back to work in April and assigned what Durham police described as a “non-policing role.” In an interview at the time, Chief Ewles said he was frustrated at suspended officers continuing to collect their salaries while they await trial. However, other cops remain off the job while being paid. • Const. Tara Kramp, arrested on charges including obstructing justice and firearms offences, awaits trial. • Const. Glen Turpin faces a Police Ser- vices Act charge of discreditable conduct. Charged with assaulting prisoners on two separate occasions, he was acquitted by a jury at one trial and convicted in a judge- alone trial on another charge. But the Court of Appeal overturned that conviction and ordered a new trial. Const. Turpin eventu- ally pleaded guilty to threatening and was granted a discharge. • Const. Ian Cameron was charged with assault after drawing his gun during a con- frontation with a fellow officer. He pleaded guilty in 2010 and was granted an absolute discharge. Const. Cameron remains sus- pended with pay as he awaits a Police Ser- vices Act hearing. Three arrested as cops raid Ajax grow op AJAX -- Drugs and cash valued at almost $250,000 were seized when police raided an indoor marijuana operation Wednesday in Ajax. Three people, including a man accused of struggling with cops as they arrested him, face charges as a result of the operation, which also saw Durham police seize a loaded handgun. At about 6:45 p.m. July 17, members of the Drug Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at a residence on Tulloch Drive, seiz- ing 229 plants in a basement grow op along with 896 grams of dried pot. Robert Sever, 51, and Kimberly Simpson, 54, both of Tulloch Drive, are charged with marijuana production and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Prior to the raid, cops spotted a man leav- ing the residence carrying a green trash bag. When police pulled over his vehicle, he strug- gled briefly before being arrested, police said. As a result of that arrest, police obtained a search warrant for a residence on Slater Cres- cent in Ajax where they seized a loaded hand- gun and 63 grams of pot as well as a small amount of cocaine, several Dilaudid pills and more than $6,500 in cash. Jonathan Watson, 24 of Slater Crescent, faces drug and weapons charges. 17th annual Friday August 23 rd,Satur day August 24th at the Pickering To wn Centr e (lower level beside the food cour t) Vendors Wanted! to reserve your booth Call Susan Fleming 905 579 4400 ext 2629 Register for gymnastics •dance •music •art •education •sports and more Fall Registration Sh ow 2013 Sponsored By Durham Ta ekwondo/KarateMartialArts 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 l y 2 5 , 2 0 1 3 4 AP FLYERS THURSDAY,JULY 25,2013 Carrier of the We ek Congratulations Cole for being our Carrier of the Week. 279 Kingston Rd.E.,Ajax 260 Kingston Rd.E.,Ajax (in Home Depot) 1105 Kingston Rd.,Pickering (in Home Depot) 255 Salem Rd.S.D#1 42 Old Kingston Rd.,Ajax 465 Bayly St.W.#5,Ajax 1889 Brock Rd.#24,Pickering 300 Harwood Ave.S.,Ajax 1995 Salem Rd.N.,Ajax 6 Harwood Ave.S.,Ajax Ajax &Pickering Locations8SalemRd.South Ajax,ON L1S 7T7 To day’s Carrier of the Week is Cole.He enjoys sports and skateboarding.

Ajax gets poor report card from taxpayer group Town rates a ‘D+’; Oshawa ranked last among 20 municipalities Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Oshawa officials are crying foul after getting an F in the Canadian Taxpay- ers Federation’s first municipal report cards, but the federation say it’s simply going by the numbers. Oshawa received the lowest grade among 20 large Ontario municipalities. Grades for other municipalities include best-in-class B minus marks for St. Catharines and Kitchen- er and D plus marks for Durham Region and Ajax. Other individual municipalities in Dur- ham were not issued grades. A major contributing factor for the City of Oshawa’s and Town of Ajax’s poor showing was the growth of the number of people on the provincial sunshine list -- the list of pub- lic employees earning more than $100,000 -- which increased by almost 80 per cent from 2010. Also at issue was the growth in the total amount the City spent paying sunshine list workers. “We just look at the numbers and the numbers speak for themselves in this case and we noted the massive growth in employ- ee compensation at a high level,” said Can- dice Malcolm, Ontario director of the Cana- dian Taxpayer Federation. But Oshawa Mayor John Henry has a dif- ferent take on the issue and called Osha- wa’s grade unfair. The City issued a memo responding to the report which used a differ- ent set of numbers and maintained Oshawa should have received a C grade. “I’m not happy with a C either, but a C would be a more accurate statement and you may find the other municipalities may shift too,” said the mayor. He said Oshawa’s sunshine list swelled in 2012 due to an arbitration-mandated payout to firefighters. Oshawa’s poor grade in the report card is damaging to the City, said the mayor. “The damage that’s being done by inac- curacy is terribly unfair to the residents of Oshawa,” he said. Meanwhile, Ms. Malcolm said the report card is a snapshot based on the numbers available through the sunshine list and on property tax information. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish suggested the sun- shine list’s salary starting point should be increased. “I think it’s ridiculous we still have the so- called sunshine list that uses $100,000. It was relevant in 1997. With inflation, it should be about $140,000.” The other issue Mayor Parish pointed to was the arbitration system that has award- ed emergency responders significant pay increases. “We’ve been talking about the issue in the municipal world. (Arbitrators) have been awarding very high economic packages” to firefighters, police and EMS workers, he said. He noted people on the sunshine list are “fairly junior level” emergency-services employees. “Ajax has been spending its money very wisely. We haven’t had any significant hir- ing in the last few years, except for new hires for the Audley Recreation Centre. We have a great local service and they’re paid appro- priately. We don’t go overboard and there’s nothing gold-plated,” Mayor Parish added. Officials from the Region were not available for comment.

First Durham Insurance and Financial is teaming up with Grandview Children's Cen- tre on the new $25,000 grant, which will be handed out in an annual award of $5,000 to a family with a child under the age of 18 who has special needs. Bryan Yetman, vice president of First Dur- ham, said the grant will help families cope with the added financial burden of supporting children with disabilities, which can include expenses for treatments, special equipment, in-home care and more. "Being in the insurance business, being pre- pared for the unexpected is what we do every day," Mr. Yetman explained, noting finan- cial planning can be difficult for these fami- lies, especially if one of the parents takes a reduced role at work or leaves the work force altogether to provide care. "Our goal is to provide that financial sup- port to the family to ease some of that stress." First Durham is partnering with Grandview Children's Centre on the grant, which will be open to youth under the age of 18 who have a disability or have a sibling with a disability and who have worked hard to raise aware- ness of children with special needs. "We want to get the community talking about the abilities of kids with disabilities and recognizing how important Grandview is in bringing it out in these kids," Mr. Yetman said. "Our grant is going to serve one family, but Grandview serves over 1,000 families every day. We want to support families and have a new way to talk about Grandview. I don't think there's a more deserving organization for the attention of Durham Region right now than Grandview." To Grandview, the grant represents much- needed support for families of children with special needs. "For us it really aligns with the work we're doing to raise awareness of children and youth with special needs and the support that's required. I love that he's recognizing individuals who are going above and beyond to raise awareness," said Lorraine Sunstrum- Mann, executive director of Grandview. "Hopefully it will prompt the entire commu- nity to wonder 'what could I be doing?' And I think the financial burden on these families is something a lot of people aren't aware of, they think those expenses are covered, so this is a lovely idea." The grant will be presented during a special ceremony at Grandview in October.

That’s the new motto up at Regional head- quarters on Rossland Road in Whitby -- Durham Region, “the place to be” -- as the economic development department works to attract new business here. While a good slogan can be memorable (think ‘I love New York’ and former Califor- nia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger grin- ning at us, ‘When can you start?’) the real news out of Durham Region is the creation of an “investment attraction unit." As director of economic development and tourism Kathy Weiss explains, staff are no longer waiting for the phone to ring, but are working the phones and following up as they continue to forge working relation- ships and lure international companies to set up shop here in Durham. No matter what one thinks of the assertion that Durham “is the place to be” as a memo- rable motto, no one could deny the Region is on track in promoting its business advan- tages globally. And the advantages are many: assets such as UOIT, Durham College, Trent University, the UOIT Automotive Centre of Excellence, an expanding transportation system, deep water ports, relatively low real estate costs and a labour force that would rather not have to commute to the city. In turn, what a strong industrial base offers the residential community, besides employment opportu- nities, is a more balanced tax base, taking some of the financial burden off residents. While industries pay taxes, they don’t tra- ditionally require or use the same services needed by residents, such as libraries, rec- reation centres and leisure programs. A healthy, balanced community has a strong industrial and commercial base. What truly makes Durham special and unique is its delightful blend of urban and rural lifestyle opportunities. Should a company wish to relocate some of its employees here, they would find the best of all worlds, with the City of Toronto on the doorstep and the countryside charms of Clarington and north Durham a mere jaunt away. They would discover a vibrant arts and entertainment community, waterfront trails, conservation areas and ski hills with- in travelling distance. A dedicated unit of Regional staff working to help companies invest and set up shop here can only sweeten the pot, and several of Durham’s individual municipalities also have programs and marketing efforts under way that make it clear they are open for business. While all these efforts might take a while to bear fruit, the seeds have been planted. Durham Region really is the place to be. Report card grades too high for Ajax council members To the editor: Re: Council report card. I apologize in advance for being nega- tive, but as a homeowner in Ajax no coun- cillor should have a grade better than a ‘D’, including the mayor. The reality is that homeowners in much of Durham Region and Ajax in particular suffer from the worst rate of house price appreciation in the GTA. Other than the government stepping in to announce an airport (I applaud them), what else is being done to make the region more attractive? If a future homebuyer asks me about Ajax, what can I sell them on other than it is cheaper to buy a home here? We are paying among the highest property taxes and I’m feeling extremely ripped off. Shame on me for not doing my home- work; I would have definitely reconsid- ered moving here. Markham, Mississauga, Vaughan etc. are constantly announcing new initiatives and projects for their cit- ies; what are we doing? We don’t need any more farmland, we need more economic development and better infrastructure. Sorry again for the negativity, but there needs to be more action. Adeiya Denys Ajax Are those highway panhandlers real or fake? To the editor: I want to know if the Ministry of Trans- portation is giving away drivers’ licences these days because the people I encoun- ter on Hwy. 401 certainly do not know how to drive nor do they know the rules of the road. They are aggressive, rude and danger- ous. I have another issue. There is a pan- handler situated from time to time on the 401 off-ramp at Port Union Road. He was there last year also. I have seen other guys as well at other off-ramps. I want to know if they are professional panhandlers; that is what someone told me. A few times I have given them some money but I haven’t been so generous lately. But when I drive by them I feel guilty. I would be the first to help someone who is going through bad times. If someone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it.

To that end I have done a little research on how best to enjoy one’s summer and am happy to pass on my findings so that you too may make the very most of the nice weather. If one looks around at all in July and August, it becomes readily appar- ent that no one is having a better time or making more of their summer than small children. Naturally, I wondered if perhaps we adults couldn’t take a page or two from the kids’ book in an effort to make our own summers more enjoyable. There are fewer more iconic images of summer, of course, than the children’s roadside lemonade stand. Smiling, freckle-faced youngsters, mak- ing a little pocket money peddling nickel glasses of homemade goodness. So what’s to stop an industrious, self- unemployed actor from opening up his own gin and tonic stand? I painted on a few freckles, borrowed some pieces of a neighbour’s pressure-treated deck for a portable wet bar and inside a half hour I’d served more of this stuff than the British Raj. I also pocketed enough dough to bankroll my next summer enterprise, a Drive-thru Electric Kool-Aid Jello Shooter Stand. Com- muters love the Jello shooters ‘cause you can’t spill them while you drive. Now, when the mercury rises into the 30s and the humidex pops we should all do, again, what the kiddies do ... head for water. And while a lakeside retreat or a built- in pool might be out of reach for some of us, don’t despair. Kids can turn a five-foot diameter plastic wading pool into 40 gal- lons of fun in no time, so what’s stopping us big kids? It’s all a matter of attitude. In fact, I found that if I filled the pool with gin and tonic instead of water, my attitude changed in a hurry. You couldn’t drag me out of that pool ... literally. Thank God I was wearing water wings. Squirt guns are another harmless, cool- ing diversion that kids just can’t seem to get enough of. Running around in your bathing trunks while soaking the pants off of your pals is just about the perfect way to beat the heat. And once again, you don’t need to break the bank to feel like a kid again. I duct-taped an old soap dispenser to a bottle of single malt and had a pretty formidable weapon in no time. Mind you, I think I spent more time squirting myself than anyone else. Believe me, after a few minutes of that you don’t even notice the heat ... or anything, really. Finally, nothing says summer louder than the delightful squeals of little children run- ning naked through a sprinkler. And while this activity is unquestionably enjoyable and invigorating, do employ a little com- mon sense however, as nothing says jail louder than the horrified screams of neigh- bours after seeing you run naked through a sprinkler. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Cuts to physiotherapy services hurt patients To the editor: I am a senior living at home in Whitby. I no longer have cartilage in either ankle and have developed osteoarthritis. I receive doctor-prescribed physiotherapy at an OHIP-covered clinic in Oshawa twice weekly and it is very helpful. I wish to express my deepest objection to the significantly reduced coverage for physiotherapy the Ontario government is planning to implement this year to patients living both independently and in long- term care homes. It will mean patients will be allowed far fewer OHIP-covered visits to clinics (maximum of 12 annually). The therapists at my physio clinic are already announcing to their staff that many will be laid off shortly due to an expect- ed drop-off in visits by patients (mostly seniors). Even more egregious and insulting is the Ministry’s news release on the govern- ment’s webpage which trumpets, ‘More seniors to benefit from physiotherapy and exercise: new Ontario government expand- ing access to care for seniors.’ On the one hand, the Ministry is say- ing that there will be expanded access for those who previously have not been physi- cally close to physio services. That’s admirable, but enhanced proxim- ity to services is utterly meaningless when the number of OHIP-covered visits per year is being so seriously shrunk that the thera- py has negligible effect on the pain. If the Liberals would do the honourable thing and repay public coffers for taxpay- ers’ money wasted in the politically-driven closing of two gas plants, there would be more than adequate funds for coverage of physio services at the level needed.

Municipalities also work hard to ensure exist- ing businesses grow and prosper within their borders. In Ajax that means helping business owners navigate bureaucratic red tape and planning protocols through its Priority Pass program and others. “One big thing is to know and appreci- ate what’s here,” said Lisa Hausz, manag- er of business development and marketing for Ajax, noting staff balances work between existing business and future development, such as the high-density, mixed-use devel- opments poised to remake the town’s down- town core. “An urban feel right at the edge of Toronto is what we would like to see for the town in the long term,” Ms. Hausz explained. In Whitby officials have created a catch- all resource for potential investors at www. choosewhitby.ca, which includes property listings, business resources, demographics, statistics and more. “We’re really trying to reach out and get the word out about Whitby,” said Sheila McGro- ry, manager of economic development for the Town. “We have some really important assets and it’s about trying to take advantage of those assets.” In Clarington, staff is capitalizing on the unique contrast between its urban and rural communities. “In Clarington you can be in Toronto in 45 minutes or drive 10 minutes and be in a greenbelt community and still have access to all our goods,” said Sheila Hall, business development officer at the Clarington Board of Trade, which manages economic develop- ment for the municipality. “I think collective- ly as a region we need to get out the message that we are really close to the city.” The benefits of locating in Durham are clear to Jeff Quipp, CEO of Pickering’s Search Engine People, a home-grown Durham company that provides digital marketing solutions to companies. “I started this company in 2001 out of the basement of my house because I got tired of commuting,” he explained of SEP, which has been included in the Profit 500 list of Canada’s fastest- growing companies for five consecutive years. “Being located in Dur- ham is a strategic advan- tage for us, you have a cap- tive population of talented people who don’t want to go downtown.” Currently employing about 100 people, Mr. Quipp plans to grow the company to 350 employees within five years, and is looking to invest in other technology companies. “We’re trying to create a tech hub here in Durham. We have UOIT so we see it like the University of Waterloo has a technology com- munity built up around it with companies like Research In Motion,” he said, pointing to Whitby’s 360 Incentives, which uses proprie- tary software to develop incentive programs for top corporations, and the Spark Centre, which helps tech start-ups develop and grow, as models of the growing industry. “We want to try to encourage start-ups here and inspire start-ups elsewhere to move here,” he continued. Partnerships are crucial for economic development across the region. “Our partnership institutions are second to none,” Ms. Weiss said of assets such as UOIT, Durham College and Trent University. “The UOIT Automotive Centre for Excel- lence is a huge tool for us. In addition to that we have a fantastic transportation sys- tem, deep water ports, some of the lowest real estate costs in all of the GTA and a great labour force full of talented, educated indi- viduals.” The Automotive Centre of Excellence, a multi-purpose testing facility available to all different types of manufacturers, is just one example of how UOIT is connecting Durham with industry. “I think UOIT always has to be seen as a partner for any company that comes to Dur- ham,” said Sue McGovern, vice-president of external relations for UOIT. Companies partner with the university for training, and work with students and faculty to address issues or develop special projects. Students are currently examining ways to harness energy from the heat absorbed by Ontario’s 17,000 kilometres of highway as part of a joint project with OPG, while students in the school’s Hacking Lab are recruited by companies to test software for vulnerabilities. “If companies have a problem that needs to be solved they can come here and we’ll solve it,” Ms. McGovern said. “This gives our stu- dents work experience and for companies it’s like training their future employees.” Ms. McGovern expects to see more indus- try partnerships in the future as the university plans a new innovation park, where compa- nies can partner with UOIT on research and development. Ms. Weiss also sees a bright future for Dur- ham, but cautions it could take time. “In world economic development you have to be patient, sometimes it takes three years to close a deal,” she said. “We’re not out there selling chocolate bars, this is all about rela- tionships. We already have some activity as a result of our trade missions, and I think the 407 is going to open up huge opportunities for us, especially with the employment lands along that route. In the next three years our goal is to see many, many cranes in the sky.” Job sectors in Durham The Durham Region Business Count (released January, 2013) counted 125,275 jobs (they estimate that to be about 72 per cent of the total jobs in Durham, due to the fact some businesses didn’t respond), of those the biggest sectors are: Retail Health services Professional, scientific and technical services Food and accommodation25% 10%6% 11% ‘‘We want to try to encourage start-ups here and inspire start-ups elsewhere to move here.’ Jeff Quipp, CEO, Pickering’s Search Engine People Benefits clear to starting business in Durham: Pickering CEO BENEFITS from page 1 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 l y 2 5 , 2 0 1 3 9 P du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 5 , 2 0 1 3 10 AP twitter.com/thehudsonsbayco facebook.com/hudsonsbaycompany b-insider.comShopthebay.com Women’s clearance fashion excludes dresses,suits and suit separates,swimwear and outerwear departments,Diesel,Armani Jeans,NYDJ,Hugo Boss Black,Elie Tahari,Eileen Fisher,Max Mara Weekend,Max Mara Studio Coats,Pink Tartan,TOPSHOP,Dorothy Perkins,Wallis,Sandro,Maje,BCBGMAXAZRIA,Olsen Europe,Toni Plus and The Room.*In our dress department.Women’s clearance accessories and sunglasses excludes Coach.Women’s sleepwear and robes exclude Diesel.

On July 26, 27 and 28, the sights and sounds of bagpipes, highland dance performances, dog and live- stock shows and the heavy games will take over Uxbridge. However, organizer Steve Harri- son carries some mixed feelings into what should be a fantastic celebra- tion of Scottish heritage. “It’s my last year,” he says. “I’ve been jamming at this for about five years and it was a bit of a challenge when I took over ... Now we have great partnerships and the support of people who come see it and spend time here in Uxbridge. We were able to save it and it can continue for years and years. This is our 18th year and that’s exciting. I know it’s an important thing for a lot of people here in Uxbridge, for them to come and spend time, relax and see part of our heritage here.” Festivities get underway on the Friday at 5 p.m. and run through 11 p.m., while Saturday’s events run from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday’s events will include a per- formance by the Mudmen, a Canadi- an-celtic band that has been around since the late 1990s. Mr. Harrison adds that the high- land dance competition that will take place over the weekend is among the largest in the province. “It’s the second largest dance com- petition in Ontario and it’s held right here in little old Elgin Park,” he notes, adding it wouldn’t be possible with- out support from Pace Credit Union over the years. “We’re not even a competitive games, so that is a great achievement I think.” Mr. Harrison expects in the neigh- bourhood of 10,000 people to take in the games at various points over the weekend. Tickets are $15 for an adult pass and kids 16 and under are admit- ted free. They are available at select Canadian Tire stores, The Wee Tartan Shop in Port Perry, Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge, White Heather Scottish Bakery in Whitby, Wilson and Lee Music Store in Oshawa and online at www. highlandsofdurhamgames.com. Each ticket will be entered into a draw for a trip for two to Scotland, an iPad, a gas barbecue and other bonus prizes, including a silver edition GoPro Camera and subscriptions to Celtic Life Magazine. The draw for the trip to Scotland will take place at 7:15 p.m. Sunday. Proceeds raised at the event will go towards Canadian Tire Jumpstart for Kids, Port Perry Boy Scouts, the Bonner Boys, Lucy Maud Montgom- ery Society the Foster Memorial and Teen Start.

In this thankless job, collection staff deal with rain, snow and sleet, while working in extreme temperatures. It’s hard on your back; it’s hard on your shoulders and it’s tough jumping in and out of a truck several hundred times a day. You’re constantly on the lookout for other drivers, children, animals and other potential hazards. And then there’s the smell. The stench of dirty diapers and dog poop isn’t exactly pleasant after stewing in the sun on a hot summer day. Having set our waste out for collection, most of us are just happy to return home from work having nothing but empty containers to put away. But why not try to make someone else’s day a little easier? Here are a few things that you can do to make life a little easier on your waste collector. Don’t be late. Place your waste at the curb by 7 a.m. the morning of your col- lection day, but no sooner than 7 p.m. the evening before. Please don’t chase the collection truck down or toss your materials into the collection truck your- self. Keep the weight down. Containers and bags should not weigh more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds) each. Items that are too heavy will not be collected. Don’t overstuff your blue boxes. Items stick- ing up over the edge have a greater chance of being caught by the wind and blown away as litter. Additional blue boxes are available for sale at the Region’s waste management centre, 4600 Garrard Rd. N., Whitby. Break down the cardboard. Fold boxes flat, and bundle the same size as your blue box. Place next to or on top of your blue boxes. Avoid accidents. Do not put needles, syringes or lancets in your garbage, blue box or green bin. Please contact your pharmacy for prop- er disposal advice, or call the Region of Durham at 1-800-667-5671. Wrap broken glass and sharp objects in a puncture-resistant package before putting them in your garbage. During the winter, ensure material is free of snow and ice and visible to the collection crew. Clear driveways -- do not place mate- rial on top of snow banks. Always make sure your material is eas- ily accessible from the curb and not hid- den behind parked cars. Remember the next time you’re rush- ing your waste to the curb at the last minute, material set out neatly can be picked up quickly and easily by the col- lection crew. Messy, unorganized set-outs not only slow down collection, but can contrib- ute to injury or accidents.

The Ontario Electronic Stewardship announced the Region is the top recycler of electronic waste in Ontario. The OES noted more than 200,000 tonnes of electronic waste have been collected, recycled and diverted since April 2009. Peter Veiga, Durham’s supervisor of waste management operations, says, “We’re pret- ty happy about that. It’s a surprise to us. We didn’t know we were number one.” Electronic waste includes laptops, mobile devices, tablets, monitors, old computers and TVs. Base and precious metals in the devices, along with glass and plastic, can be recovered. The OES noted about 90 per cent of electronic items can be recycled. Mr. Veiga said, “We thought the secret to success was accessibility and convenience.” In addition to accepting e-waste at its three transfer stations, items are collected from homes, apartments and condomini- ums. Anyone living in a home can call the Region and items will be picked up, he said, adding for apartments and condos, yellow bins are used. The yellow bin program is being expand- ed into Oshawa this summer, he noted. “We’re phasing it in. The bins have a cost and each building is different. We’re in the phase-in stage,” he said.

How to Maximize Your Backyard Enjoymen tBy: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, an d as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoy e d y e a r-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Rom a n s ’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 1 30 Mulock Dri ve Newmarket • ww w.surfside.on.ca 905-895-175 5 Pool s & S pas YOU DO THE DREAMI N G . . .

By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to illness and 1/3 fewer tooth cavities. Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting at home.

How to Maximize Your Backyard Enjoyment By: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Drive Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pools & Spas YOU DO THE DREAMING ...

Never before has a movie been marketed so perfectly. Pacific Rim is advertised as featur- ing giant robots fighting giant monsters. And that’s exactly what it’s about. Within minutes a giant robot is fighting a giant monster and we are off for more than two hours of action. I saw this movie in 3-D and was glad I did. It is one of the few movies where 3-D works. A lot of the fighting action happens in the water and the bubbles make for a great use of the technology. We quickly learn that humans have built giant robots called Jaegers to fight giant monsters called Kaiju, who have started appearing through a rift on the ocean floor. The Jaegers have to be piloted by two people due to their size, who must drift together and act as one. There is a quick reference to how we have treated our environment, leading to the emergence of the Kaiju but really, none of the back stories in Pacific Rim really matter, they just get in the way of the action. But not everything was great with this movie; there were some technical prob- lems. The banging and clashing dur- ing the fighting scenes, as well as the blasting music, made it difficult at times to hear the dialogue. And the fighting at times was so quick the audience had trouble following all of the action. But for a summer blockbuster, Pacific Rim hits all the right notes. Pacific Rim gets a three out of five.

In fact, the country artist recently had three of the top five selling country singles by a Canadian act in Canada. It was a different story a year ago, when a virtually unknown Hicks played the Boots and Hearts Music Festival in Clar- ington. With superstars like Tim McGraw, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock and Carrie Under- wood on the bill, it’s no surprise that not many people were flocking to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to see him. But things changed in a big way with the release of his first single, Get By, ear- lier this year. Now people from coast to coast know who he is and want to see him. “It’s amazing to me that I can go out to PEI and people know my songs and want my autograph,” he marvels. He’s part of the three-act lineup that opens up this year’s Boots and Hearts festival on Aug. 1. After Get By did so well, Hell Raisin’ Good Time and the tongue-in-cheek Stronger Beer have also rocketed up the charts -- and Hicks hasn’t even released an album yet. “I’m a bit embarrassed by it,” he laughs. “I can’t explain it.” His story is encouraging for the multi- tudes of musicians who want to make the big time but haven’t been able to break through. Hicks grew up in Niagara Falls and recalls a moment in Mrs. Morgan’s Grade 2 class when she asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. “Profes- sional musician,” he replied. His teacher laughed and replied, “Oh Timmy, profession- al musicians don’t make any money.” But Hicks was determined. He played “every chicken wing bar from Niaga- ra Falls to Windsor to Ottawa” for years. He played in cover bands, he worked on a cruise ship. He spent his 20s trying to get a record deal but it didn’t happen. Hicks finally realized that the big time wasn’t meant for him. His wife Amanda consoled him with the thought that, “You need to be thankful for what you have.” However fate had other plans for Hicks, and it was only when he had given up on fame a couple of years ago that his moment came. Playing in Toronto, he was approached to write some songs. It was Neil Sanderson, drummer for Three Days Grace, and Casey Marshall, a Toronto songwriter from Toronto, who run Public Artist Development, which is also a song- writing collective. “They had a song kicking around, not yet finished,” Hicks says. “They said, ‘we think there’s something to this song, can you take a look and fin- ish it’.” Unbeknownst to Hicks, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line had also worked on Get By. Before long, Hicks was signed to RKG Entertainment Group. Get By debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 in February, even- tually becoming a Gold single. It did so well that Hicks got the sophomore jitters, wondering if he could repeat that suc- cess. His debut album, Throw Down, is to be released on Aug. 27. Success hasn’t gone to Hicks’s head, but he did have to change his phone num- ber. And with a wife and two young chil- dren, Jackson, 19 months and Annaleigh, three months, he stays pretty grounded. Hicks notes that on the day his daughter was born, he got the big news that Get By had entered the Top 10 on Billboard. Of course he told his wife right away. “Great,” he recalls her saying, “can you make sure you get the dishes done?” CLARINGTON -- Tim Hicks, who certainly paid his dues before his recent successes, helps open the Boots and Hearts music festival in Clarington on Aug. 1.

Sharpe, head coach of Pickering’s Speed Academy Athletics Club, was himself a member of Canada’s bronze medal relay team from the 1984 Olympics in Los Ange- les, and has run with and against some of the greats in the sport, including Carl Lewis. In fact, he has recently posted a photo of himself on Facebook posing with Lewis and another American great, Calvin Smith, from the 1980 Junior Pan-American Games in Sudbury, where the three reached the podi- um in the 100-metre dash. Now, he’s hoping to guide De Grasse to a similar result this summer in Colombia, site of the 2013 edition of the Jr. Pan-Ams. “Andre De Grasse is the most talented sprinter that I’ve ever come upon, and that’s a huge statement coming from me,” Sharpe said of De Grasse, a 1994-born Markham resident. “The competition is fierce in the sprints with Jamaica and the likes of Trin- idad, Barbados and U.S., but Andre can match up with any of those guys, so I think he’s probably our highest medal threat for the Pan-Ams if everything stays right and he’s healthy.” De Grasse is one of three members of the Speed Academy who will make their way to the Games in August after qualifying from a meet in Quebec recently. He’ll be joined by Pickering’s Andre Wright, who will compete in the 110-metre hurdles, and Ajax’s Tacuma Anderson-Rich- ards in high jump. “It’s huge. It’s really a stepping stone. I remember the junior Pan-Ams being one of my initial opportunities,” said Sharpe, who finished third behind Lewis and Smith, respectively. “To have these guys entering their first international and doing the same meet, it’s kind of cool.” De Grasse, a relative newcomer to the sport who is still very much in the learning stage, should also be a medal threat in the 200m, according to Sharpe. Sharpe first met De Grasse last April at a high school meet at York and added him to his growing stable of athletes three days later. He soon earned a scholarship to Cof- feyville Community College in Kansas -- where he’ll be joined by Anderson-Richards this fall -- and is now turning some heads. Among De Grasse’s many recent accom- plishments include a fourth-place finish at the senior national championships, where he was racing among several 2010 Olympi- ans, and a junior college national champi- onship in which he ran a wind-aided 9.96. “Windy or not, that’s ridiculous,” said Sharpe. “If this kid keeps his head on, I’m telling you there’s nothing like it that I’ve seen in my 40 years of track and field. This guy is phenomenal. He’s going to be a household name if he just does the right things and takes care of his body.” The Speed Academy also recently sent five athletes -- Mariam Abdul-Rashid (400m), Leya Buchanan (100m), Taylor Sharpe (200m), Emma Li (pole vault) and Juliana Puopolo (100m hurdles) -- to the world youth championships in the Ukraine, where the results weren’t spectacular, but the expe- rience was. “The girls didn’t perform well, but the experience was awesome for them, to go through that and see what kind of calibre of athletes there are in their age groups around the globe,” said Sharpe. “The experience for those young ladies will serve them well in their junior years.” Full speed ahead for De Grasse PICKERING -- Pickering’s Speed Academy club qualified three boys for the Canadian team for the Junior Pan-American Games in Colombia in August. Going are Andre Wright, Tacuma Anderson-Richards and Andre De Grasse. ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Lacrosse Brian Mcnair Sports Editor Tears tell a tale at World Cup The tears said more than any words could have done. When Emily Boissonneault was asked what it meant to represent her country at the highest level on home soil, the answer was incomplete, but went something like this: “It means the world. I’m so excited that my family gets to be here with me,” the 22-year-old Brooklin resident said before the tears prevented her from going on. Often contagious, the tears were then passed to Kaylin Morissette, another local who had just lost the gold medal game to the United States at the 2013 World Cup women’s lacrosse tournament held at Osha- wa’s Civic Fields. But the 19-year-old Bowmanville resi- dent quickly gathered herself. “Just to look up and see thousands of Canadians just cheering for everything that we did, every ground ball, every draw control that we got, every shot that we took, it was amazing,” she said. “Canadians are clearly the best fans in the entire world, so you’ve got to love it.” The same words would likely have come from all 18 players on the Canadian team, but certainly from the four who cut their teeth in the sport playing for the Oshawa Lady Blue Knights. Whitby’s Katie Guy, a fierce competi- tor who was named to the tournament’s all-world team on defence, and Janaye Dzikewich, also of Whitby, expressed the same level of gratitude and amazement at being able to play in front of their family and friends. It was the first opportunity for some of their family members to see them play. Peri- od, let alone on the world stage. The support was indeed tremendous for the tournament, especially for the ultimately disappointing gold-medal match, where fans had filled the seats and overflowed to line the railing and field level just below. The game itself was without much intrigue, an easy 19-5 victory for the over- powering Americans. But the experience was unforgettable for everyone involved. Even -- or perhaps especially -- for those left with tears in their eyes.. --bmcnair@durhamregion.com du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 5 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP 5thAnnual Kinark Golf Classic,raising funds for autism and children’s mental health.

At the Stayner Fair-play Tournament, West Durham showed great playmaking and passing skills throughout the tour- nament, resulting in wins over Centre Wellington (10-0) and North Perth (10- 2). The final saw West Durham facing a fellow zone team in Oshawa 2, with the result a resounding 11-2 win for the West Durham Rock. The following weekend saw the team travel to Sarnia for the Herb Lea Tourna- ment. Once again, West Durham found little competition against the likes of London 2 (5-1) and Sarnia 2 (11-1). These two victories propelled the team to the finals, where they handled the London 2 team again with a 9-1 victory. The organization hosted the West Dur- ham Don Swindells Memorial Tourna- ment. Game 1 saw a close game against zone rivals Oshawa 1, with West Dur- ham walking away with a 5-3 victory. Game 2 turned out to be another close battle, this time against Nepean 2, with the team emerging victorious with a 7-6 win. Game 3 ended up as a one-sided tilt with an 11-2 victory over the Kahnawake Mohawks. Despite a good effort in the next game, West Durham suffered their first tournament loss of the year by the score of 6-3. The tournament final saw a rematch against Cornwall, with West Durham putting together a solid 4-3 victory for the team’s third championship in a row. Currently the teams record is 16-4-0. Team members are: Blake Morrison, Camden Brown, Cole Leggo, Jake Rob- bins, Chris Imreibe, Alex O’Keefe, Paul Ludwinski, Keagan James, Alex King, Marcus Alves, Joshua Callaghan, Coner Foley, Jack Oldman, Tristan Bloye, Cam- eron Fotopoulos, Mackenzie Reimer and Dylan Board.

With a little help from Shammy’s Auto Detailing, even your old car can look new again. Commercial car washes don’t hold a candle to the kind of shine a proper detailing job can produce, and scrubbing, waxing and polishing can take up lots of valuable time that you don’t have. When you bring your vehicle to Shammy’s, they take care of all the hard work for you. There are several packages to choose from, from an exterior hand wash to a full detailing package that includes an engine shampoo, high speed polishing, paint sealant applicant, minor paint touch-ups and more! All of their detailing packages include an exterior wash, cleaning the rims, tires and wheel wells, cleaning the windows inside and out, interior vacuum, and interior wipe down. Choose from one of the premade packages or create your own custom package! To keep your vehicle looking great for longer, you can opt for one of the many protection services available. The fabric protection will protect your vehicle’s fabrics from stains and spills. The leather protection will help prevent cracking, stop fading and extend the life of the leather. The paint seal protection will shield your paint from fading and excessive oxidization, protect it from acid rain, repel UV rays, prevents surface corrosion and keeps that new car shine. The elements can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior, causing rust and corrosion, which can be very expensive to fix. It’s far more affordable to prevent rust from occurring at all. Shammy’s offers two rust proofing services. The dripless oil system is an advanced treatment that offers superior results by leaving the protection where it should be - on your vehicle! The black asphalt undercoating and clear upper body rust protection is a long lasting rust protection system that lasts a lifetime. As an added bonus, it also acts as sound deadening for less road noise. In addition to detailing, Shammy’s offers a wide variety of services for your vehicle, including windshield repair/ replacement, 3M Stone Chip Protection, paint- less dent removal, and minor touch-ups.

Jason Liebregts / metroLand Large Phoebe family fun to have around Our nearest neighbours moved out last week and I miss them. They had a big family, five darling kids, and were good neighbours -- quiet, tidy, industrious, and a great source of interest for my hus- band and me. We talked about them all the time. Our neighbours were eastern phoebes, small brown flycatchers that nested on a soffit outside our sunroom. We always have some phoebes stop by in migration, perching on fence posts around our gar- den, bobbing their tails and singing their raspy “fee-be? fee-be” song. This cool spring, numbers of them hung out in the nearby woods longer than usual and eventually we realized one pair was lin- gering on. Lots of people have them at the cot- tage, nesting on a ledge under an over- hang. Phoebes like being near woods and water, where they can catch lots of insects and find the underside of bridges to be another good nesting location. Phoebes breed most years at Dennis’s family farm, but never in our yard in town before. I was thrilled when the female started carrying strands of grass up to the protected nook she’d chosen. Of course, having her around changed our habits drastically. Instead of stepping out on the porch, coffee in hand, to greet the morn- ing, I spent lots of time peering out win- dows, checking fence posts to see what the phoebes were doing. I was crushed when, just as it seemed time to start incubating eggs, she and her mate disappeared for several days. Had they been nabbed by a predator? Crashed into a window? It felt like a little miracle when they quietly came back and she set- tled onto the mossy nest she’d built. I read later that phoebes often do that after the last egg of the clutch is laid -- take a mini vacation before starting to incubate. Two weeks warming the eggs, two weeks feeding babies. The pair tolerated us as we cut grass and tended the garden, and helped out by keeping our yard pret- ty much bug-free. The mother would chip nervously when we came too close, so I caught only occasional glimpses of five gaping beaks above the rim of the nest, waiting to be stuffed with food by mom and dad. Toward the end, the babies were piled on top of each other, little brown bun- dles of feathers with big mouths and no tails. They all fledged and left the nest at first light one morning, fluttering one by one to the cedar hedge, then on into the woods, encouraged by nervous parents. It was John James Audubon, the first “bird bander,” who tied a thread around the leg of a phoebe nesting in his yard and found the same bird return again the following spring. We’ll be watching and waiting next year, ready to welcome ours home. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks. net or 905-725-2116. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far- flung corners of the planet. margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of Smokee on Facebook withKeep pets safe when travelling in and out of Durham Summer time often means more road trips, and possibly more car rides for your pet. No matter how good a traveller your pet is, never let them roam freely in the vehi- cle, warns tripswithpets.com. They can get overly excited or frightened and become a distraction to the driver. They can also endanger fellow passengers if there’s a sudden stop and they’re thrown from their seat. And pets themselves can get thrown through the windshield, resulting in severe injury. Pet vehicle restraint options include pet safety belts, pet car seats (with built-in seat belts), pet travel crates and kennels and vehicle pet barriers. Make sure to give your pet ample time to adapt to whichever method you choose. For example, most cats and small dogs feel safer in the car if they travel in a small crate, says Animal Planet (animal.discov- ery.com). To prepare them for crate time, leave the crate around the house for a few days so the pet gets used to it. If you plan on harnessing your dog or keeping it in a crate in the car, get it familiarized with that feeling. Use a seat belt to secure carriers. If you need to use a crate for your larger pet, make sure it’s well secured and cushioned so they don’t smash against the sides of the carrier in case of an accident. Animal Planet suggests purchasing a harness that attaches to your regular seat belts, or straps that attach to the ceiling of the car. And make sure to choose restraints that offer your pet some mobility. Your pet should be able to move and turn in the seat. Keep pets out of the front seat in case the air bag deploys. And never put them in the back of a pick-up truck. Animal Planet suggests taking your pet’s health records along if you’re travelling a long distance. You’ll need them in case your pet bites someone or gets bitten. And put your name, destination address and cellphone number on your pet’s crate in case of emergency. Give them only water when they’re in the vehicle. Food can make them motion sick. If they need to eat, feed them outside on a stop and give them some time to digest. If motion sickness is a problem, make sure to talk to your vet about medications, advises tripswithpets.com. It’s a favourite pastime for many, but don’t let your dog stick their head out the window. It’s dangerous, and both of my sources for this column advise against it. Dogs could get hit by a flying object, the wind can cause ear and lung infections and their eyes are exposed to dirt, rocks, dust and other debris. Excitable dogs could even leap out of the vehicle. I mean, I might if I were a dog and spotted a squir- rel. To keep them entertained, take along favourite chew toys and treats. Stop the car often to let your pet out on a leash to stretch its legs and sniff out its new sur- roundings. On those rest stops, make sure to park in the shade and never leave your pet in the car unattended, especially in this heat. Have I mentioned that before? And make sure to keep your pets safe even on short car trips. Most accidents happen close to home. Kristen Calis Reporter Canines and cars DURHAM -- It’s no secret dogs love car rides, but it’s unsafe to allow your dog to stick its head out of a moving vehicle. Aside from the possibility of your dog being hit by flying objects or leaping out of the vehicle, the wind and cold air can cause inner-ear damage and lung infec- tions. Toxoplasmosis is a condition that mostly occurs in cats and is caused by an organism called Toxoplasma gondii.In- fection can also be seen in humans &goats &even worms, insects &fish may be carriers.Cats become infected when they ingest oocysts (eggs)from feces in the environment. Infected cats may show no clinical signs &often clear the parasite on their own.In some cases,they may have soft stools,be lethargic,&may develop muscle tremors or seizures in severe cases.Humans can also become infected with the parasite &it has the potential to pose harm to pregnant women &their babies if they are exposed. Infection in humans is much more common from eating un- dercooked meats.The cat itself is not a source of the cysts only its feces are,therefore proper litter box hygiene is always recommended.A cat that has already been infected is unlikely to shed any oocysts in the future. If you are concerned about toxoplasmosis in your cat,please seek advice from your veterinarian as there are tests available for the parasite.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lila Rossler (nee Lidubina Oceguera) and sons Jimmy (Mary) and George Rossler. He was predeceased by his daughter Maria (Chuy) Town (George). Much loved grandfather of Lisa (Luke), Andrea (Kyle), Michael, Austin and Andrew (Joyce). He will be greatly missed by family around the world: Michael Huber (Australia), Tio Bruno and Tia Elvia, Elizabeth, Anna, Joe and Lily Stefanski (Chicago), and by many Oceguera family members in Mexico, Rome and California (Tia Letitia). Kurt immigrated to Canada from Stuttgart, Germany in 1953 and his love of adventure took him across Canada - from the Ottawa Valley to Toronto, to the Gold Mines in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. He met his wife in Mexico and brought her to live in Vancouver and then Sudbury. They settled in Whitby in 1963 where he worked for 26 years at GM. Kurt loved visiting with family and friends, sharing a beer and telling his many great stories. His greeting of a bone-crunching handshake and offer of a Cerveza will forever stay in our hearts. Sincere thanks to all the staff at LHO who treated Kurt with honour and dignity in his last days. We were told he was a true gentleman to the end. Although he had a true aversion to needles, (no freezing even at the dentist) Kurt did enjoy his visits with Dr. Schattner and Anita. Thanks for the extra special care. Please make donations to the LHO Cancer Centre or Palliative Care in lieu of flowers; his green thumb will take care of those. A service will be held at Whitby Resurrection Cemetery on Friday July 26, 2013 at 2 P.M. http://www.aftercare.org/obituaries/ Kurt-Rossler/#!/Obituary ROGERS, Michelle Eva - (Employee of Metroland) - Peacefully at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013 at 45 years of age.

RIDER, John Hamilton Fuller May 21, 1937 - July 20, 2013 Great man, great life, too soon. His place at the head of the table and in the hearts of his family and friends will always be reserved with honor and gratitude for John Rider Sr. We are forever grateful to have had such a principled and ethical gentleman, loving and supportive husband, caring and encouraging father, quietly wise and patient grandfather, and loyal and endearing friend in our lives. John loved world travel, tennis, golf, history, wine, billiards, large gatherings and his precious oil lamps. Born in Sherbrooke, QC to Hamilton and Margaret 'Peggy' Rider, raised in Valleyfield, QC. Loving brother to Fred Rider (Jill), Lillian Rider, and predeceased by Martha Chamberlain (Ken). Graduated from Bishops University in 1957 where he began his lifelong love affair with his wife and former sweetheart of 55 years, Sandra (nee Currie). They lived in Nitro, Montreal West, Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Pickering and spent the last 37 years in Whitevale, ON. Loving father to John Jr. (Dale), Timothy (Linda), Andrew and Joanne. His pleasure, pride, patience and love for his grandchildren Joshua (Angela), Samuel, Benjamin (Tara), Jordan, Drew, Jessica, Connor and Mac is boundless. Much loved brother-in-law of Lynne Schwachenwalde (Peter), predeceased by Sydney Currie. Missed by cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Retired Executive Vice President of Manufacturing at Purdue Pharma, dedicated member of Whitevale and Pickering communities, proud of his work with United Way, Pickering Museum, St. Martin's Senior Center and his time as an Akela in Montreal. A celebration of life service will be held on Sunday July 28 at 1 PM at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax Pickering Village, ON 905 428-8488. All family and friends are invited to attend a dinner of great wine and food at 5:30 PM. Venue TBA at the service.

Online condolences may be placed at www.mceachniefuneral.ca Melissa Julianne Coady Our Beautiful Angel If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane, We would walk right up to heaven To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness And our many tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. -Love Mom, Dad and A.J. It is hard to find words to express how thankful we are for everyone's expressions of love to our family during this truly difficult time. All of the beau- tiful flowers, cards, phone calls, emails, charitable donations, meals, thoughts and prayers have truly been a comfort- ing blessing to us. Melissa touched so many people with her beautiful smile, her kindness and her love of life. She is a beautiful angel who will live on forever in all of our hearts. With love, Julie, Larry and A.J.
