The hamlet, which has been designated a Heritage Conservation District, is surround- ed by a buffer of Hamlet Heritage Open Space to protect it from encroaching development such as the planned Seaton community. The construction of schools and parks in the buffer zone has been approved, but resi- dents say they would like it used to preserve threatened heritage structures, including those from the nearby federal lands, where 56 homes have been demolished over the last year. “There’s so much uncertainty because we don’t know what exactly what will be going in the buffer zone, but we’ve always said we need a heritage home enclave, which would be a great fit,” said Marion Thomas, who has been fighting on behalf of Whitevale at Ontario Municipal Board hearings on the Seaton development. She’s trying to ensure the heritage character of Whitevale remains undisturbed, ade- quate road and transit systems are built to service the development and that taxpayers don’t get stuck with a mas- sive infrastructure bill as a result of the nearly 60,000 new residents expected to move into the finished community. “I know experts say it’s best to preserve heritage where heritage is, but if the choice is to move them or bulldoze, that’s easy,” Ms. Thomas said, pointing to the heritage enclave of Markham Estates, a sanctuary of last resort where owners can buy lots at below market value to relocate threatened historical homes for preservation. “It’s very expensive to move homes so this would give potential owners a break,” she continued. “A lot of people will say these homes are too far gone but that’s not true; most of the homes in Whitevale looked awful before they were fixed up. It just takes time, money and a dedication to preserving heritage.” Catherine Rose, chief planner for the City of Pickering, said a heritage sanctuary is not being pursued at the moment, but the City is actively working with developers to ensure heritage properties on the Seaton lands are preserved. “The develop- ers have been fairly receptive to the type of changes we’re requesting,” Ms. Rose said, pointing to ele- ments such as the size, orientation and setback of the homes on lots. “Most of these homes are still in public ownership. Some are rented and well cared for and some are not, and that is a concern we share. We think the best thing would be to transfer homes to private ownership.” While private ownership is not an option on the federal lands, where homes may stand in the way of plans for a future airport, Ms. Rose believes it could benefit properties in Seaton. “I’m not sure what the mechanics of that would be, maybe there would have to be some kind of agreement to have the homes that are sold designated, but at this point our preference is to work with the Province on sales to people willing to maintain homes where they are.” Ms. Thomas, however, is not ready to give up. “This is still an option,” she said. “There’s still a lot of homes coming down and we can’t keep destroying them.” Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

Ontario Energy Board Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario Family members help deliver baby under table Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When two-year-old Marcus Thompson returned home from school to find a new baby sister in residence at his Pickering home, there was little sign of the excitement that had unfolded earlier in the day. Chiara Campitelli-Thompson had a plan in place for the birth of her second child with husband Roger Thompson -- a doula to assist and midwives who would help deliver the baby at Markham-Stouffville Hospital. Little did she know what fate had in store. “With midwives, you labour at home and only go to the hospital once you’re nearing birth,” Ms. Campitel- li-Thompson explained. “There’s a certain time you’re supposed to call but our labour was not progressing very quickly so we never got to that point. Then next thing I knew, the baby was here.” Ms. Campitelli-Thompson went into labour around 2 a.m. on July 16, and called in her “support team,” which consisted of her doula, sister, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and stepmother-in-law, around 4:30 a.m. For the next seven hours she laboured at home, with everyone helping to cheer her on and offering distraction, including a spur-of-the-moment Beyonce dance party. Then just before noon she got a particu- larly intense contraction. “It was funny because the moms were all talking and all of a sudden I drop. They’re just having some moth- erly chit chat and I’m ready to push and it was like ‘Oh my God, we’re having a baby’,” she recalled. The experience was a little more stressful for Mr. Thompson, who called the midwives immediately after seeing his wife crumple to the floor. “The mid- wives said ‘we’re on our way, but you need to check to see if the baby’s crowning. If it is, call 911,” he recalls. “So I hung up immediately and checked and yes, that baby was crowning, so I called 911. We weren’t quite panicked at this point, but I definitely wasn’t calm either.” Mr. Thompson stayed on the phone throughout the birth, directing the couple’s doula, Nicole McKay, and Ms. Campitelli-Thompson’s sister, who were on the floor with Ms. Campitelli-Thompson under the din- ing room table while the rest of the family did what- ever they could to help. “We were all running around doing whatever we were supposed to do, but it’s funny what you think of in the moment,” said Maxine Campi- telli, Ms. Campitelli-Thompson’s mother, noting one of the help- ers put some water on to boil. “They asked for water and we said it was boiling and they said ‘why?’ and we realized it was just because that’s what they always do in movies. They also needed towels so I said I’ll get dark ones, because Chiara’s so neat I didn’t want to mess up her good towels.” Ms. Campitelli definitely wasn’t thinking about her towels. “From the time I went down to the time the baby was out was less than 15 minutes,” she recalled. Mom and baby Celia Marian Thompson, who arrived at noon, were checked out by paramedics shortly after the birth and found to be in excellent health. The family now says if they had known how nice giving birth at home would be, they would have planned it that way to begin with. PICKERING -- Chiara Campitelli-Thompson is rest- ing at home after delivering a baby girl there with the help of family, after the newborn arrived too quickly to make it to the hospital.

If only all babies could be celebrated like Prince William and Kate’s precious baby boy. What expectation, anticipation and more -- people all over the world watch- ing, waiting and rejoicing. Yes, their son, George, is royalty, so he’s no ordinary baby. He’s third in line to the British throne. But is there such a thing as an ordinary baby? No. The birth of this new life encourages me that people still celebrate life, but usually only when it’s in a certain kind of package. If someone asked: “Did you hear that Ed and Jenny Jones are going to have a baby?” we’d likely ask back, “Who are they and how do I know them?” So I wait to celebrate because the value of this news is dependent on my relation- ship to those involved. And if I’m the one directly involved I may be tempted to eval- uate this new life by what circumstances I’m currently facing and then decide which one is greater. Here’s to you George Alexander Louis, and babies everywhere who were created to live. Renae Jarrett Ajax Brooklin family was good news, in a ‘big’ way To the editor: Re: ‘Love, laughter and togetherness in a big Durham family’, news, durhamregion.com, July 17, 2013. I just wanted to write in and say how much I appreciated the front-page story about the Polhamus family. I found it really encouraging and uplifting to hear about a local family of that size that is making it work in this day and age. I come from a family with six kids, with the two youngest being added through fostering and adoption. Our house has always had lots of people liv- ing in it and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I thought this family’s story was a creative and refreshing angle from which to present the statistics of families in Canada. In a day where news outlets can so often focus on negative elements of society, thank you for bringing a focus to “good” news. Joel Witton, Ajax Driftwood Theatre group delivers summer treat to Durham One of the most special summer traditions in Durham is staged under the stars in parks across the region. For many, it wouldn’t be summer without Driftwood, Ontario’s touring theatre com- pany, which has its roots right here in Dur- ham. Since 1995, the theatre group has been taking the show on the road, offering classic stories and enjoyment to Ontario commu- nities that might not otherwise have access to professional theatre. Founded by D. Jer- emy Smith, who was recognized for the early success of the venture with an award from the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce in 1996, Driftwood Theatre now has legions of fans that extend well beyond the borders of Durham, and provides an important plat- form for budding theatrical careers. Durham has a vibrant arts and enter- tainment community, allowing residents to enjoy quality shows, concerts and gal- leries without having to travel far, provid- ing creative outlets of expression for its art- ists and provoking thought among patrons. Driftwood Theatre has an important place within that community, offering affordable and enjoyable outdoor entertainment in the gentle season of summer. The theatre group’s annual Bard’s Bus Tour takes great storytelling from venue to venue, making a night at the theatre acces- sible to all. The non-profit, charitable group has a pay-what-you-can admission poli- cy, with a suggested donation of $15.

Ms. Potter is from Bowmanville and attended the first auction at Handi Storage Ltd. in Cour- tice last year. She bid on but didn’t win a locker last year and was back with family on a recent Sunday to see if she could have better luck this year. Ms. Potter was with her sister Diane Robin- son and brother-in-law Ralph Sturgeon, who attend storage auctions across Ontario, hunt- ing for good lockers and selling the items at a profit. “We’ve known the auctioneers for years. We follow the circuit,” said Ms. Robinson, who grew up in Bowmanville and now lives in Erin, outside Orangeville. The first locker auction at Handi Storage Ltd. in 2012 drew more than 700 people. It took 45 minutes for the crowd to walk by one locker before bidding could begin, according to auc- tioneer Mike MacGregor of MacGregor Auc- tion Services in Blackstock. “Last time I was quite shocked at how high the bids went. Last year one unit had a broken TV and a box of garbage and someone bid $25,” said Robin Minnikin, who works at the storage site. This year the storage locker staff decided not to advertise the auction. More than 100 people came to the July auction. “It’s kind of like a treasure hunt when you do these because you can’t look at anything,” said Mr. MacGregor, who holds estate auctions in Orono. The Bowmanville family bought the first locker. The unit was full with boxes and bags. All that could be clearly seen at the front was a cat tree, a CD holder shaped like a giraffe and a small safe. The locked safe turned out to be empty, with a plastic drawer and the silica moisture- absorbing beads rattling around inside giving a false promise. Most of the jewelry found in another box in the unit is costume. “You get a lot of garbage. You get 9.5 units of crap for a half good unit ... And we’re in a crap unit cycle,” said Mr. Sturgeon. However, hiding at the back was a newer Whirlpool front-loading washer and dryer set. There were leather jackets and coats in good shape and many decorative items, including a telescope estimated to be worth $100. In the end the family expects to break even on the locker they bought for $1,175. In the hours the family spent clearing out the unit, they learn a lot about the original owners. Professional photos suggest the woman was a model, garbage bags full of toys suggest the couple had children. Left behind are wedding photos, Second World War medals and a profanity-riddled hate note on the back of a painting, that appeared to be written from a woman to an ex-husband. “Any pictures or personal items we ask (the bidders) to leave. At least I can say (to any stor- age locker renter who returns) ‘Your Christmas tree is gone but I have your baby pictures’,” said Diane McGregor, who works at Handi Storage. Ms. McGregor said it takes months of non- payment for a locker to be auctioned. The first month a late fee is imposed. The second month the company puts its own lock on the unit and sends a letter to the renter. If the per- son doesn’t respond, a registered letter is sent to the renter. Most times the owner will arrive to settle up, according to Ms. McGregor. The lockers being auctioned off are generally at least six months behind on their payments. Ms. McGregor said the auctions don’t make the storage company money, but are done to clear the unit for a paying customer. General- ly the units sell for less than the renter owes. If the units sell for more than the debt, and the renter comes back to ask about their pos- sessions, Ms. McGregor said the company will give the renter the difference. “There will be another set of lockers to do in the fall,” said Mr. MacGregor as he auctioned off the last unit of the day.

This is very painful &can lead to death in a matter of hours without treatment.“Deep chested”breeds such as Great Danes,Standard Poodles,&Setters are commonly affected although it can occur in any breed.Clinical signs include a bloated abdomen,vomiting,retching without producing vomit,pain,&stretching out the belly in a “praying pos- ture”.Treatment of bloat includes stabilizing the pet with IV fluids &pain medications as well as “decompressing”the stomach which involves removing the excess gas.A sur- gery is then performed to place the stomach into its proper location and “tack”it to the body wall to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.Even with surgery the condition can be fatal,so it is important that if you suspect bloat in your pet,that he/she is assessed by a veterinarian immediately.

SABRINA BYRNES / mEtRolANd Shorebirds make stop here before long trip south “Is this some kind of tern?” wrote Skip Pothier, a reader from Port Perry. He enjoys photographing birds, and has been snap- ping pictures of the three osprey babies in their big stick nest atop a light standard at the ball diamonds in town practically since they hatched. In the process he often saw another type of bird in the background, and when he finally got one in a telephoto shot, he e-mailed it to me. It was a black tern, a graceful flier that nests in marshland along the Nonquon River and gathers in good numbers at the lagoons behind the ball fields, to feast on gnats and other flying insects that abound there. I realized at once that Skip must never have visited the lagoons, a longtime hotspot for birders from across Durham Region, or he would be quite familiar with black terns, which were once common in southern Ontario before so many wetlands were drained. I urged him to purchase a seasonal entry permit, $10 at the local waste transfer station, and go explore the five ponds, which would offer him many excellent subjects for his camera. Especially now that shorebird migration is beginning. I got excited just thinking about the flood of sandpipers, plovers and other waders, large and small, that must be already heading south, and vowed to get to the lagoons myself as soon as possible. Meanwhile I checked a few bird report sites online to see what species have already shown up where. Shorebirds are amazing for the vast dis- tances they fly, and for how quickly and efficiently they breed. They have to wait for the ice to melt in the Arctic in spring, so don’t usually arrive there until early June. Nesting on the ground, they need their brown-flecked colouration for camouflage, and babies have to be self-sufficient as soon as possible. Fortunately, the young of most species can already walk the day they hatch. Once their young have learned to fly and feed themselves, parents take off without them, heading back south to their winter- ing grounds. So shorebirds we see passing through Durham in early August are adults, with juveniles coming later -- navigating by instinct -- after they’ve fully fledged and strengthened those all-important flight muscles. Five species were already at the Port Perry lagoons a week ago, according to the Dur- ham Rare Bird Hotline. Checking farther afield, I found reports of whimbrels, sand- erlings and semipalmated sandpipers gath- ering along the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. I envied Toronto birder Jean Iron, serving as a volunteer at a shorebird watch on Hud- son’s Bay, where 22 shorebird species were staging last week. She counted more than 12,000 semipalmated sandpipers on the tidal flats, fattening up for their long flight to the Bay of Fundy, then nonstop across the Atlantic to the coast of South America.

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 Rambler on Facebook withKeep pets safe at the cottage DURHAM -- It’s cottage season, and it’s common for pet owners to bring their furry family members with them to enjoy the great outdoors. I found tips from the Ontario Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on how to safely include your furry friends. Getting them there safely is one thing, and if you didn’t see it, please read my column from last week on the topic at durhamregion.com. Despite a misconception that pets can run at large at the cottage, they should be safely confined to the property and wearing identification that contains the address and phone number of your cot- tage. If your pet is microchipped, con- tact the microchip company and inform them of your weekend address and phone number. Make sure your pet is up-to-date with vaccines, especially the rabies vaccine, before you go to the cottage. And speak with your veterinarian about flea and tick medications. If you plan to take your pet out on the water with you, invest in a pet life jacket -- even good swimmers can tire easily in rough water, and banks can be slippery or steep to climb. Besides keeping your pet afloat, life jackets can help protect against hypothermia in cold water and can make it easier to pull them onboard. It can get very hot on the water, so pro- vide a shaded area for your pet to rest and bring plenty of fresh water to pre- vent dehydration and heat stroke. If you plan to be on the water for a long time, perhaps bring a portable potty system. A square piece of turf may work for some dogs. Call the marina in advance to determine their policies regarding pets. If you plan to take your dog swimming: • Remove chain training or slip col- lars before your dog goes into the water. These collars can snag your dog on hidden underwater obstacles, such as plants, branches or debris. • Watch the water before allowing your dog to swim -- moving water can be dan- gerous to dogs. Even if the water appears to be moving slowly, the volume of mov- ing water can make it difficult for a dog to swim against the current. If the cur- rent or wind appears too strong, have your dog splash close to shore and use a leash or long light line to keep your dog nearby. • Check the water temperature. A dog will generally tire out more quickly in cold water and can lose energy, develop cramps and be at risk for hypothermia. • Watch your dog swimming at all times. Call your dog out of the water before they’re too tired -- a tired dog has a much higher risk of drowning. Beware of wildlife, which is especially vulnerable during the spring and sum- mer months, when they’re having and raising their young. Pets should not be allowed to chase or injure them, which will protect your pets and wildlife. Keep your pets leashed or indoors to avoid any run-ins. Keep the phone number of a veterinar- ian, shelters and animal services in your cottage area handy in case of emergen- cies. Upcoming The Humane Society of Durham Region is holding a dog wash on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Walmart at 4100 Baldwin St. S., Whitby (Brock and Taunton roads). It’s $15 per dog for either a flea or bubble bath. All proceeds will go to the humane society. Call 905-665-7430 or visit web.humanedur- ham.com for more information. Kristen Calis Reporter Including furry friends at cottage DURHAM -- Pet parents planning to take their dog out on the water with them at the cottage this summer should look into purchasing a pet life jacket. They keep pets afloat, help protect against hypo- thermia in cold water and can make it easier to pull them onboard.

Durham holding another Reuse Day Chance to donate items to charities DURHAM -- Saturday, Aug. 17 will be a chance to pass it on instead of tossing it out. Durham Region is again offering its Reuse Day on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving residents a chance to donate reusable items to charity instead of throw- ing them away. Items can be dropped off for free at the works department’s waste management centre, 4600 Garrard Rd., Whitby. Items will be donated to Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Ajax, Oshawa and Uxbridge, as well as the Canadian Diabetes Association, Goodwill and the Salvation Army. Items that can be donated include lum- ber, new roofing material, tools and hard- ware, metal or wooden furniture, coun- ters, sinks, plumbing supplies, clothing and textiles, books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, video games, toys and games, and sporting equipment. Garbage, household hazardous waste and electronics will not be accepted. Reuse Days are held to help divert items from landfill. Rather than dropping off items at several locations, the items can be dropped off at one place. Since the Region has been holding the event, about 30 tonnes of reusable material has been diverted. Durham currently diverts about 54 per cent of waste. “Reuse Days encourages residents to keep reusable items out of landfill by tak- ing advantage of the convenience of a sin- gle drop-off location for unwanted items,” said Cliff Curtis, the Region’s works com- missioner. Mirka Januszkiewicz, director of waste management, said, “Charity drop-off bins are often filled with garbage and other non- reusable items, which places strain on the charities’ resources and increases their gar- bage disposal fees. We’re making it easy for residents by providing a central location to drop off unwanted items.” An audit of waste management bins in Oshawa found that more than 32 per cent of contents were reusable materials, such as children’s toys, textiles, renovation materials and furniture, Ms. Januszkiewicz noted.

Your Life: Tips for sustainable living Video series on durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Next week’s video series on dur- hamregion.com features tips for sustainable living with acting co-ordinator of sustainabil- ity for the City of Pickering, Shauna Muir. Ms. Muir has a background in public affairs, focusing on a variety of communications ini- tiatives and public engagement efforts. She and the rest of the sustainability team are responsible for implementing a number of sustainability programs geared to topics such as air quality, energy, food, waste, water and the natural environment. Changing your lifestyle to be more sus- tainable offers opportunities to save money, build a stronger local community, increase the quality of your home and possessions, and contributes to a healthier style of liv- ing on Earth. Next week, I encourage you to make some sustainable choices. Series breakdown: • Monday, Aug. 5: Grow your own . Garden- ing is a great way to get outdoors and spend time with family and friends, especially when it comes to harvest time. See just how satisfy- ing it is to enjoy the fruits of your labour. • Tuesday, Aug. 6: Buy locally. Buying locally produced food not only reduces your carbon footprint, but often tastes fresher, better and gives you the satisfaction of supporting your local community. • Wednesday, Aug. 7: Plant your way to a more beautiful space . When choosing the best types of plants for your garden, try matching the plant species to your particular area. • Thursday, Aug. 8: Quench your garden’s thirst . Rain barrels are a great tool for collect- ing rainwater for use on those dry summer and fall days. • Friday, Aug. 9: Dog waste diversion. Being a responsible pet owner means cleaning up after your pooch. Pickering’s dog waste diver- sion program is conveniently located at 13 different parks around the city. • Saturday, Aug. 10: Keeping our community clean .

University of Ontario Institute of Technology students Matthew Clark and Alvin Lee were part of the winning team in the first- ever 24-hour RBC Next Great Innovator Challenge Prototyp- ing Event. The students, who will be entering the fourth year of their bachelor of science in comput- er science programs in the fall, were two of the five team mem- bers awarded $5,000 by a panel of RBC executives for creating a working prototype that would make everyday banking easier. The official challenge asked participants to use the shared development platform, Heroku. com, to build an innovative pro- totype for a mobile, tablet, web or desktop app that utilizes the power of social media to seam- lessly integrate banking into the daily lives of its clients. They had a week to prepare and 24 hours to bring the proto- type to life. Mr. Clark and Mr. Lee’s team was selected from 54 teams -- and 153 post-secondary stu- dents and recent graduates -- representing 22 schools across Canada. The team’s prototype and idea focused on transfer- ring money and sharing prod- uct and educational information between mobile devices by tapping them together. “The experience of taking part in the first ever NGI prototyping event has been amaz- ing,” said Mr. Clark. “We walked away with a great prize, successfully solved a real-life business challenge under intense pressure and also got to present to senior executives. The challenge put us to the test and we learned so much along the way.” Over the years, numerous ideas put for- ward by NGI participants have been tested and some have been developed for use at RBC. Prototype submissions from this year will follow the same process. 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 • Au g u s t 1 , 2 0 1 3 17 P PICKERING -- Kim Wheatley from Shawanaga First Nations gave a lesson to children about the natural world during the Tuesdays on the Trail event, hosted by OPG, at Alex Robertson Park. sabrina byrnes / metroland Learning a healthy respect for nature in Pickering Kids learn about native plants from First Nations emissary moya dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Learning that plantain can be used to soothe stings and scrapes is just one benefit of forging a closer con- nection with the natural environment. Kim Wheatley, a cultural facilita- tor from the Shawanaga First Nation Reserve, was on hand to teach kids about the incredible diversity of plant life found in their own backyards at a recent Tuesdays on the Trail event orga- nized by OPG. “Today we’re going to learn about our family,” she told a group of more than 50 children gathered at Pickering’s Alex Robertson Park on July 30. “For First Nations we think about our families as a bit bigger, we think about the other things around us that are alive as well, such as trees and plants.” Ms. Wheatley showed the children sumac, bulrushes, cedar and crab apples, encouraging them to remember the plants so they can identify them in the future. The day proved to be educational for both children and parents. “Some of the plants even I didn’t know what it was called,” said Whitby resi- dent Poonam Asher, who brought along daughter Taneesha, 5, and her friends Amira and Sahar Amit. “I think today is really nice because you get to learn about plants and ani- mals,” said Amira, 8. “It’s more than I would usually know.” Leaving kids with more knowledge of the world around them was the aim of the day for Ms. Wheatley. “What I’m hoping they’ll take away is a respect for the world around us that’s not human,” she said. “We talk about plants and how they’re our sisters and we need to treat them with respect and kindness because they make the food that we eat and the medi- cine we use. As young as they are, I hope they understand that food is good for us, it nourishes your body and it comes from all around us so greenspace is real- ly important. It’s about looking at the world with a different set of eyes.” Kids got a chance to add to greenspace by constructing clay garden pots for planting later at home. Among those leaving with some new greenery was Avery Lee, 2, who came out with daycare provider Diane Butler. “It’s great being out in the fresh air and the activities are really interesting, the kids get a lot out of it,” Ms. Butler said. Free Tuesdays on the Trail events are held every Tuesday through the summer. For more information, call 905-837-7272 or visit www.opg.com/community.

According to Sherry Torkos, pharmacist and author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, there are a few simple ways you can stay healthy at your desk job: • Rest your eyes: Staring at a computer screen all day can cause regular users to experience vision problems. Blinking frequently and giving your eyes the chance to regularly focus on something more distant can reduce eyestrain. Setting a timer to remind you to look away from the screen every 20 minutes will help relax your eyes and reduce fatigue. • Talk in person: Telephone calls, emails and other technological tools improve time management, but they can also contribute to an unhealthy office environment. Take opportunities to walk to a co-worker’s office and talk face-to- face instead of sending an email or picking up the phone. Having walking meetings can also be a useful way to boost energy and alertness. This allows employees to get up, stretch their legs and reduce the negative impact of sitting at a desk without effecting productivity. • Stand up for phone calls: If you do have to use the phone, stand-up anytime Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Stay healthy at your desk job you make or receive a call. This will give you the opportunity to stretch your legs several times a day and will become a habit helping you to lower the harmful effects of being inactive. Standing for phone calls will also generate energy in your body and your voice. • Keep water at your desk: Hydration in an office setting is often overlooked. Your body requires a lot of water, even if you’re sitting. Having a 1.5 L bottle of Nestlé Pure Life will help you curb the afternoon slump and allow you gauge how much water you’ve consumed throughout the day. www.newscanada.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 • Au g u s t 1 , 2 0 1 3 19 AP lazboy.com/gta ·Locally Owned &Operated HOURS:Mon-Fri 10-9Saturday10-6Sunday11-5 CLEARANCE OUTLET NOW OPEN!9040 Keele Street,Vaughan Open Mon - Sat 10am - 4pm Etobicoke 1611The Queensway,East of Sherway Gardens 416-253-0555 Newmarket 181 Green Lane E.,(E.of Yonge St.,Beside Best Buy) E.Gwillimbury 289-841-3300 Scarborough Scarborough Town Centre,Hwy 401 at McCowan Rd 416-296-9111 Vaughan Hwy 400 at Rutherford Rd.,Opp Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre 905-660-0677 Mississauga/Oakville 2657 Dundas St.W.,at Winston Churchill 905-569-0046 Burlington/Hamilton Power Centre,1220 Brant Street/QEW 905-331-7600 Markham 3083 Highway #7 East,East of Woodbine 905-479-0199 London 760Wharncliffe Rd.South,Just North of Southdale Rd.519-686-1441 Kitchener 4300 King Street East,At Sportsworld 519-650-4300 OPEN HOLIDAYMONDAY,AUGUST 5TH10AM -6PM *Pricing shown reflects all discounts.

One, he wanted more time to act, to interact, to look moody and philosophi- cal. And two, if he was going to spend time getting in shape, he wanted a lot of screen time with his shirt off. Jackman got both demands met and The Wolverine is a better movie for it. If you are looking for a Pacific Rim type of summer movie, this chapter of the Wolverine story isn’t for you. But if you like your action movies with a lot more dialogue and less fight- ing, then this movie is up your alley. The movie opens with Logan/Wol- verine doing his best Grizzly Adams impression, with hair everywhere. He is aching over his role in the killing of Jean Grey, who appears to him throughout the movie as part of his conscience. After a run in with some hunters, he is whisked to Japan to say goodbye to a very wealthy man who he helped save at the end of the Second World War. Logan quickly gets caught up in a family struggle and with his ability to heal himself slowly disappearing, he must fight not only Ninjas but a mysteri- ous Silver Samurai. This chapter brings some big chang- es to Logan’s life and sets him on a path he was destined for. Make sure you stay seated when the credits run for an awe- some preview for one of the next X-Men movies. The Wolverine gets a 3 out of 5.

Monday offered yet another example of this, perhaps the second best behind his decision to hook up with Snedeker in the first place. Vail, Snedeker’s Oshawa-born caddy, was added to the Oshawa Golf and Curl- ing Club’s wall of fame on Monday, a deci- sion that had been made long ago to coin- cide with the day after the Canadian Open wrapped up at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville. Snedeker, who was listed as host of the event, did his part to make it as special as possible, winning the Canadian Open by three strokes. “Scott kind of likes staying behind the scenes and not getting too much credit,” Snedeker said Monday, just prior to giv- ing a demonstration for about 200 onlook- ers. “He likes being the man behind the man I guess, but today is a really special day about him and all his hard work finally paying off and to have it come on the heels of a Canadian Open win is pretty special.” Vail, while clearly uncomfortable in the spotlight, admitted the day was indeed a special one. “I grew up on this golf course, I’ve played here and I worked here for over 10 years, so I know a lot of people,” said Vail, who later got a rare round in with Snedeker on his home soil. “It’s neat that they’ve done this for me. I’m kind of speechless to be honest with you.” The purpose of the wall of fame is to honour members of the Oshawa club who have made significant contributions to the sport at a provincial level or higher. Vail, who was a junior member and employee in the 1990s, has done that at the highest level possible, albeit in a different role than most who have reached the wall before him. As Snedeker’s caddy since 2006, Vail has helped guide the 32-year-old Nash- ville native from a promising player on the Nationwide (now web.com) tour to as high as fourth ranked in the world. The relationship started in early 2006, when Vail accompanied Snedeker to Nationwide tournaments in New Zea- land and Australia. Although he returned to caddy for Jason Enloe, whom he had been with the previous season, he wisely answered Snedeker’s call again about half- way through that season -- and they have never looked back. “He’s been my caddy for eight years, but we’re best friends,” Snedeker explained on Monday. “We’ve been really close on the road together, he was in my wedding and I call him all the time. We talk about life. He’s been a great influence on my career, a great guy to have in my corner. He’s really helped me play the best golf of my career so far.” Snedeker was the PGA’s rookie of the year in 2007 and now has six wins on the tour, highlighted by last year’s Tour Cham- pionship victory that netted him the FedEx Cup -- and the $10-million bonus that goes with it. While he wouldn’t rank the Canadian Open win quite that high, Snedeker did agree it was important to him given his caddy’s background. “This is his big one of the year in terms of being the national open,” said Snede- ker, pointing out that it’s the third oldest tournament on the PGA Tour. “It’s a great tournament with great history, such a rich history. It’s one of those I wanted to win, especially for him because I know what it means to him.” Vail, who was working on about four hours sleep on Monday, agreed. “It was special in terms of having my fam- ily and friends there because they don’t get to come and see the other wins that we’ve had,” he said. “To win the Canadian Open and being from Canada is pretty neat, so it definitely ranks up there. Not as good as the FedEx Cup, but it ranks up there.” OSHAWA -- Scott Vail, an Oshawa native and caddy for PGA tour golfer Brandt Snedeker, was added to the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club’s wall of fame during an event at the course. Snedeker was on hand for an hour to give a golf demo and answer questions to an enthusiastic crowd. ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland View photo gallery with Lacrosse Festival celebrates 10th year WHITBY -- The Ontario Lacrosse Festi- val, which celebrates its 10th anniversary beginning Friday, has grown to become the largest annual youth lacrosse event in the world.

In addition to the indoor tournament competition, an outdoor Festival Fun Zone is on-site providing engaging and experien- tial opportunities for fans. “The Ontario Lacrosse Festival is a 10-day combination of great competition and fun for the entire family”, said Ontario Lacrosse Association president John Doherty. “The OLA is once again pleased to partner with the Durham Region to deliver first-class facilities for the excitement and drama of our provincial championship tourna- ments.” In addition to the national championships, there will be provincial championships in tyke, novice, peewee, bantam, midget and intermediate box lacrosse.

Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRoland Cubs win Richmond Hill tournament RICHMOND HILL -- The Pickering-Ajax mosquito Cubs went a perfect five wins and no losses to win the Richmond Hill Green and Gold Classic tournament. The opening game saw a no-hitter pitched by Michael Watson and the finals saw a three-hit shutout for the champion- ship victory thrown by Michael Asselin. Some memorable moments from the tournament were a home run from Dylan Brady, great pitching from Ethan Gomez, Mitchell Ireland, Robert Groen and Max- well Fraser-Stewart. Speed on defence and clutch two-out hitting came from Andrew Szent-Ivany and P.J. Bauer. Justin Carin- ci, Junior Chambers and Michael Watson were all able to hit over a .650 average for the tournament. The team really enjoyed spectator and Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos making positive comments about the skill level of the teams during the Richmond Hill game. The head coach of the team is Rob Wat- son, assistant coaches are Dave Ireland and Mike Stewart. DURHAM -- The Pickering Ajax Cubs won the baseball tournament they hosted, beating a team from Scarborough in the championship game. SubMitted Photo Soccer club hosts movie night ‘The Croods’ to be featured on Aug. 7 PICKERING -- The Pickering Soccer Club will be hosting its 4th annual Movie Night on the Pitch fundraising event on Wednesday, Aug. 7. This is a free event to raise money for PSC’s special needs program, which benefits children with mental and physi- cal disabilities. The event will take place at Woodlands Field, behind Dunbarton High School, located at 655 Sheppard Avenue in Pickering. The event begins at 6 a.m. The featured movie, The Croods, is a DreamWorks Animation film and fea- tures the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Catherine Keener. Movies on the Pitch is a one-night event to raise the profile of special needs sports and to raise funds to help support the program. All the money raised will go directly to lowering costs for registered families, purchasing custom equipment, registration fees to enter tournaments, and for teams to participate in special events. Last year’s fundraiser attracted more than 500 people. This year’s family-friendly event will have a barbecue, raffle table, inflatable games, face painting, a fire truck from the Pickering Fire Department and enter- tainment for children.

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