Ms. Ellul has been running her Peaches and Cream Produce stand on Rossland Road, east of Salem Road. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Summer Company program helps Durham youth become entrepreneurs MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The traditional summer job is getting an upgrade for 19 Durham youth who are using the summer to practise their entrepreneurial skills with the help of the Summer Company program. The program, funded by the Ontario Government, offers students who present promising business plans a grant of $1,500 for startup costs, as well as access to mentors, and a further $1,500 award at the end of the program. “It’s a really good opportunity for students to take what they’re studying or what they’re passionate about and make employment for themselves,” said Ryan Ounjian, business consultant at the Business Advisory Centre Dur- ham, which administers the program locally. “It allows them to get their feet wet and try their hand at entrepreneurship without too much risk. It shows them you don’t always have to depend on someone else, you can be self-reliant.” It’s an important learning opportunity for students, who are often surprised at how difficult business can be.

Sponsored by LionsClubofNorth Oshawa andMotorCity CarClub AutofestChildren’sSoap Box Derby “Sometimes it’s kind of tough, things don’t work out and you have to come up with a new plan and keep going,” said Meagan Ellul, a 17-year-old high school student from Ajax who used her grant to start Peach- es and Cream Produce, a roadside stand offering fresh Ontario produce. “It’s great experience and a great view into running a business. I had never really thought about what that meant before but doing it now I have a lot of respect for people who run their own business.” Over the course of the summer, Ms. Ellul has been working to refine her stock process, aiming to have as little produce left over at the end of the day as possible, while still meeting demand. “You learn a lot as you go along, and there’s still a lot more lessons ahead of me but basically it’s about trying your best,” she explained. “At the end of the day if I only sell a dozen corn, I have to come back out tomor- row and try again.” When challenges arise, students can turn to assigned mentors for advice. “Starting, operating and trying to find success with your business in one summer is really fast -- it’s scary, intimidating and exciting all at the same time,” said Jenifer Meirfield, a small business coach who volun- teers as an advisor. “Often students just want a sounding board, some- one there who understands running their own busi- ness,” she continued. “The experience these kids get is a tremendous bene- fit for their future, whether they get a career or continue on as an entrepreneur, just getting out there and doing it themselves is fantastic.” Many of the students do use the opportunity as a springboard to running their own business. “I wanted to be my own boss and try something new,” said Pickering’s Ali Jaffer, who has been busy with his mobile car Spray Shine Detailing business. “I don’t know whether I would continue on with this particular business or not, but I would enjoy doing some sort of entrepreneurship in the future definitely.” AJAX-PICKERING from page 1 Ajax-Pickering youths operate own businesses over the summer ‘‘I wanted to be my own boss and try something new.’ Ali Jaffer Whistling a tune PICKERING -- David Dixon, 9, whistled a tune as he worked on a mockingbird craft during a Tuesdays on the Trail event hosted by Ontario Power Generation Pickering Nuclear at Alex Robertson Park Aug. 6. ryan pfeiffer / metroland 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 8 , 2 0 1 3 4 AP TRADE any of these items for a digital thermometer atFREE Limit of one thermometer per visit per day.

Vegetation along the route is now being cleared, and crews have also begun pile driving, which is required for the con- struction of overpasses, at various loca- tions. Throughout the summer and fall crews will be working on stream realignments, culverts, excavations and building struc- tures. Residents will see activity along the entire Hwy. 407 East phase 1 route, which runs from Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa, and along the West Durham Line, which will connect the new road with Highway 401 near Lakeridge Road. There are currently no road closures or delays, with construction at most of the 11 interchanges along the route taking place adjacent to existing roads to minimize any traffic disruptions and reduce the need to close existing roads for extended periods. There are currently no road closures.

Police dog tracks suspect in Ajax Clarington man faces drug offences AJAX -- A Clarington man is charged after a suspect fled from police, dis- carded a black Baretta-style pel- let gun and hid in a backyard with a backpack containing drugs. On Monday, Aug. 5 at approxi- mately 11:30 p.m., a man was seen with what appeared to be a firearm on public transit near Rotherglen and Kingston roads in Ajax. A con- cerned citizen contacted police. The man got off the bus with a female. Responding West Division Durham police officers located the man and woman walking north- bound on Rotherglen Road. The officer attempted to speak with the man, who immediately fled on foot, according to police. The officer pursued the male sus- pect on foot and requested a K-9 team to assist. The woman was not arrested. K-9 officer Hemi and his handler tracked the fleeing suspect, who was located after a short dis- tance hiding in a backyard on Leah Crescent. The suspect was arrested without incident. A search of the suspect’s backpack upon arrest led to the seizure of small amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, psilocybin and crystal meth. Officers also seized 73 grams of marijuana. The street value of the combined drug seizure is in excess of $2,400, according to police. The K-9 officer and handler retraced the sus- pect’s pathway and located a discarded black Baretta-style pellet gun and clothing, which were seized as evidence. Dylan Snow, 21, of Empire Crescent in Clar- ington, is charged with possession of a weap- on dangerous to the public peace and resist- ing a peace officer. He also faces a number of drug charges, including possession of cocaine, ecstasy and crystal meth and possession of marijuana and psilocybin for the purpose of trafficking. email responses to newsroom@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 • Au g u s t 8 , 2 0 1 3 6 A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

The development of the waterfront progressed with consideration for residents and the natural environment. It was a place I thought I would spend the rest of my life. There was only one vacant piece of land left for development and that was on the northwest corner of Harwood and Lake Driveway. After several inappropriate pro- posals were put forth and rejected for this choice piece of land, an equally inappro- priate proposal received approval and The Breakers became a reality. Not only is it an affront to the eyes but also to the ears. Residents living near this development are subjected to almost con- tinuous noise. Maintenance involving drilling and grinding seems never ending, with heavy vehicles and their associated din almost daily. My wife and I generally have to leave our home on Fridays during spring, summer and fall due to the all-day grounds maintenance that uses the noisi- est gas blowers and trimmers. A night’s sleep is lost after every snowfall due to the all-night clearing of even half a centimetre of snow. It no longer feels like a residential neigh- bourhood but an industrial complex. Neville Pike Ajax Pickering airport not needed To the editor: Re: ‘NIMBYism to blame for rise in youth unemployment’, letter to the editor, dur- hamregion.com, July 31, 2013. The writer suggests that a Pickering air- port would create jobs and attract more industries and businesses. But people are against this airport plan for different but important reasons. The airport would be “planted” on the best farmland in Canada -- farmland that, in the very near future, will be badly need- ed to help feed the GTA. You can’t feed people without farmland, nor can you feed them with a failed airport, which is what Pickering would be. All existing airports are actively seeking more business -- because they need more. A Pickering airport, if ever built, would fail. Unneeded airports are failing all over the U.S., and the business and industrial areas that surround them are emptying out. We pave over our dwindling amount of remaining farmland at our peril. We are woefully behind other countries on this issue. Food growing and food-related industries will be the job creators of the future. Those many and varied jobs will be secure and essential to our survival. We are doing our young people a disservice by not pointing them in this direction. They, after all, will have to live in whatever kind of world we leave them. Pat Valentine, Claremont Time for Ontario PCs to review Hudak’s leadership Tim Hudak might be thankful, for now at least, that he’s leading a political party and not coaching an elite sports team. The provincial Progressive Conservative leader is on a terrible run: his party was relegated to third-party status in the 2011 general election; he’s gained little traction on conservative policies; and he’s now gone a disappointing one-for-six in bye- lections in the last two years. The result is a leadership review, not surprisingly, and it would seem that the Ontario Progressive Conservative leader’s days are numbered. Notwithstanding the byelection victo- ry of star PC candidate and high-profile Toronto city councillor Doug Holyday, Mr. Hudak is going to face difficult ques- tions about his leadership and the consis- tently flat support for the party in polling -- and byelection results -- over the last two years. Voters, meanwhile, put Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne on a short leash with last week’s byelections, allowing the party to retain two of the five seats up for grabs. But given the scandals surrounding the provincial Liberals in recent months, tak- ing two of five is being counted as a win, a reflection of low expectations. Only the NDP’s Andrea Horwath can truly claim victory, with her candidates taking the remaining two seats contested in the bye- lections. So, we have a minority Liberal govern- ment mired in scandal being propped up by tax-and-spend New Democrats, and the best governing alternative for Ontar- ians is nowhere in the mix. If the Progressive Conservatives are to take Ontario in a new direction, away from gas plant cancellations, cynical pol- itics and ballooning deficits, a change at the top to engage voters and write a new conservative narrative is required. On a broader scale, the Ontario govern- ment must turn its focus to debt and def- icits; it must seek balance while creating better conditions for economic growth; it must target waste and redundancies in programs and bureaucracies. But given the party’s disappointing record in recent years under its current leader, it seems unlikely that the Pro- gressive Conservatives in Ontario will make any more electoral gains, let alone be given the opportunity and privilege to form the next provincial government. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division 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 8 , 2 0 1 3 7 AP“A Doctor’s Confession to the City of Ajax/Pickering…” Dear friend, Confessions are tough. Real tough. But, sometimes a confession can set the record straight, and I want to give credit where credit is due. Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first. Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter.Yo u know, when I meet people in town they usually say,“Oh, yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Clay. I’ve seen your article with that picture of you, your wife and cute little boy.” Well, I’m the guy in the middle. Ye ars ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story. At the time, I’m a contractor for my fathers’ construction business, and life is good.But then, it happens…I develop a painful back condition known as “disc bulge/herniation”. In my case it comes on suddenly. The pain in my back gets so intense that I can’t bend over, lifting anything is impossible, and I can’t even put on my shoes. The shooting pain sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt my fathers’ business if the disability continues. After considering surgery (that’s the only option, according to the doctor) I decide against it. But, there’s more… A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films, and then ‘adjusts’ my spine (he tells me that there’s nerve pressure on the nerves in my low back). The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. I get relief, and shortly after I can help my father again.Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor? Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I see in his office, that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself. And that’s how it happened!” Now, as for my son Dominic, he’s the cute little guy in the photo. He is about the healthiest little guy I know.Yo u see, he had his first adjustment when he was days old and has had regular Chiropractic since. I see many children who suffer from ear infections, allergies, attention deficit disorder and asthma. Can you imagine a little kid not being able to play with their friends in gym class, because they’re afraid of having an asthma attack or because their allergies prevent them from doing so? That seems like a small thing but it makes a big difference to those families when their children’s health is restored. The beautiful woman on the right is my wife Princess. She knows enough to ask me to adjust her when she feels like she may be getting sick, or just to stay “tuned up.” It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their disc problems. Also they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries,just to name a few. “Here’s what some of your neighbors had to say: “I feel wonderful. I ran up stairs for the first time in years.” (P. K.–Ajax) “For the first time in years I feel good. Sciatica is gone” (D. S.–Pickering) “I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care.” (A. C.–Ajax) “I wish I knew about… Chiropractic earlier.” (A. E.–Pickering) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit.My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything.What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself.We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a host of so-called experts out there. They tell people a lot of things that are just plain ridiculous about my profession. But the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed that over 90% of patients who saw a chiropractor were satisfied with their results. That’s just incredible! Millions of Canadians no longer have supplemental health insurance, and many of those who do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Another way to save… published, peer-reviewed research indicates that the immune system may be enhanced by chiropractic adjustments. The immune system is the system that helps the body fight colds, the flu, and many other sicknesses. Although all people respond differently to care, maybe you won’t be running off to the doctor as much once you start chiropractic. This is especially important if you are self-employed.And an entire week of care in my office may cost what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. Yo u Benefit from an Amazing Offer-Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health.Yo u are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses,you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. Be one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam. When you bring in this article, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $37. That’s with x-rays, complete nerve, muscle and spinal exam to seek the “cause” of your problem…. the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $150 elsewhere. But, please call right away because this offer expires on August 23, 2013, and I don’t want you to miss out. By the way, further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans.Yo u see I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with high fees after that.Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor.High costs can add up very quickly. Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee.Yo u’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications… I’m a graduate of New Yo rk Chiropractic College. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may even know. After practicing in Pittsburgh PA for three years, I moved my practice to Ajax. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. Again, be one of the first 20 appointments available. My assistant is Nancy and she is a really great person. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called Health First Family Chiropractic and it’s at 335 Bayly St.We st –Suite 206 Ajax (we are across from the old Chrysler plant). Our phone number is 289-275-2444. Call Nancy or me today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you and God Bless. P.S.When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $20. P. P.S.Can you imagine not having to wait at a doctor’s office?Well, your time is as valuable as mine. That’s why we have a no-wait policy. Yo u will be seen within minutes of your appointment time.

Durham, residents asked to give blood Canadian Blood Services expects blood stock shortage by Labour Day Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Canadian Blood Services is calling on Durham Region and Northum- berland residents to roll up their sleeves to address a shortage of blood donations this summer. The organization is opening mobile clin- ics across Durham Region and Northum- berland as part of its nationwide Blood Sig- nal initiative, a call for Canadians to rally together and book a blood donation. There have been more than 12,000 -- 1,112 of which were in Durham and Nor- thumberland -- unfilled appointments so far this summer. That, coupled with hos- pital demand, means about 51,000 dona- tions are needed between now and Labour Day to keep blood supplies at an adequate level. “Our goal in Durham Region and Nor- thumberland between now and Labour Day is to collect 1,694 units,” said Crystal Powell, community development co-ordinator for Canadian Blood Services. One donation equals one unit of blood. Two units are needed to help someone who needs brain surgery, and fifty can help someone in a car accident, according to the organization. “You can start donating at 17 and you can donate up until 71,” said Ms. Powell, adding a healthy person can donate every 56 days. On top of the mobile clinics, hours have been extended at the permanent clinic in Oshawa. Susan Matsumoto, executive director for donor and clinic services, said in a press release every summer is a challenge, but this year the trend is especially concerning. “With so many open appointments we need Canadians to book and donate now,” she said. Canada is not alone in this regard; dona- tions are soft in other countries such as the U.S. and the U.K., which have also issued urgent appeals for blood donors due to fewer donations made this summer and overall blood inventory levels falling. The organization is asking those who already have an appointment to make every effort to keep it, and to bring a friend along. “Rally your friends and family and donate together,” said Ms. Powell. To book an appointment visit blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Appointments are recommended, and drop-ins are available if there’s space. Website Want to drive more business leads?

Treatment for coccidia involves a specific oral medication that rids the infection.It is always recommended that a fecal test be repeated after treatment to ensure that the condition has cleared. Puppies,kittens &immunocompromised pets are at highest risk of infection.It is always recom- mended that fecal tests are performed at least yearly on our pets.While there are some forms of coccidia that can affect humans,the common species in dogs & cats (isospora)does not pose a risk.

August 6, 2013. ryan pfeiffer / metroland Oil change makes for good goldfinch watching So there I was, at 8 a.m., sitting on a lawn chair in Percy Beech’s big front yard outside Burketon, watching his bird feed- ers. Beech’s Garage has such a magnifi- cent “waiting room” that I was sorry my oil change might take only half an hour. Between the occasional vehicles pass- ing by on Concession 10, the morning was wonderfully still -- not a leaf rustling, and only once, the far-off barking of a dog. I could hear every red-eyed vireo sing- ing in the woods across the road, every chickadee and nuthatch, plus the hum of wings every time a ruby-throat dive- bombed the nectar feeder at the kitch- en window. And every chattering call of the target species I was looking for: gold- finches. Recent queries from readers sent me on a hunt for these golden little birds. Both Norma Kent of Whitby and Magda Zoelman of Bowmanville were wonder- ing why their feeders weren’t covered with goldfinches, as usual. I’d told them not to worry; that midsummer is when goldfinches spread out and breed, the last songbirds to do so each year, because they wait for thistles to bloom. Thistle- down makes a soft warm lining for their grass cup nests, and they feed their babies a regurgitated milk of thistle seeds. Gold- finch numbers would surely be down in neighbourhoods lacking a good supply of thistles. But I promised to check into the ques- tion -- a fine excuse to laze about doing “goldfinch research” everywhere I went. From a friend’s backyard pool in Oshawa, for example; I saw three goldfinches as I swam lanquidly up and down. And now lounging on a lawn chair in the country, where just five goldfinches showed up to feed, compared to the vast numbers that in other seasons eat the Beeches out of house and home, according to Percy. Big flocks will empty his two tube feeders in a day. Living and working in a rural area can provide exceptional opportunities for wildlife watching. The Beeches often have pileated woodpeckers coming to the suet they hang out -- I’m envious of that! “And have you ever seen a groundhog fly?” Percy asked me, when my oil change was done. I looked at him skeptically. He told me he’d been standing in his garage with a client one day when they heard a loud bang overhead. Stepping out into the yard, he scanned the roof, eventually finding the source of the mys- terious thump: a groundhog jammed between a metal stack and the slanting steel. What in the world? Percy’s client gestured to the sky above. “That might be your answer, Perce,” he said. A red-tailed hawk was circling, no doubt disappointed that its “lunch” had managed not only to wriggle free from its clutches, but to land where it couldn’t be retrieved.

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 Leon on Facebook withHelp finding lost pets in Durham DURHAM -- Browsing through the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals’ website, I came across some interesting pointers when looking for a lost pet. Some are obvious, others are not. If you lose your pet: • Immediately search your property and your neighbours’ properties in a five-house radi- us. Expand outwards as needed. Walk the neighbourhood, talk to everybody and leave your phone number and pet’s description or photo. Make noise while you walk around by calling, squeaking a toy or shaking dry food. Bring a tasty treat, harness, leash or cat car- rier. • Place strong-scented articles outside your home, such as their bedding, to lure them back. • Change your voicemail message to include a description of your missing pet and how to reach someone during the day and night. Check it regularly. • Visit local OSPCA and Humane Society branches, shelters and animal services/con- trols. Leave your phone number and a pic- ture of your pet. Call vet offices and animal emergency clinics. Check back regularly and visit often to view the found or stray animals -- staff may not recognize your pet based on the description or photo you’ve left. • Place missing pet signs at major intersec- tions, veterinary offices and stores within a two-kilometre radius. Expand outwards with- in a few days if your pet hasn’t been found. Remove the posters once your pet is found. For poster tips, visit lostapet.org/recovery- posters.php. • Place an ad in your local newspaper and check the ‘found’ ads every day. Also, some found pets are eventually posted on petfinder. com. For lost and found pets, also check local ani- mal services websites, facebook.com/Help- ingLostPets and search for ‘Missing Bernese Mountain Dog named Chelsea’ on Facebook. I’m also happy to post lost and found pets on my page at facebook.com/NewsDurham- KristensKritters. Facebook is a fast and easy way to post and share info. Some preventive measures: • Microchip, collar and tag your pet (include owner contact information). • Keep your cat indoors. • Secure your property. Repair small holes and loose boards in fencing or add height to a low fence. Prevent your dog from digging out by putting chicken wire from the bottom of the fence sloping downwards and inwards, or sink bricks or large stones along the fence line. • Supervise and make the backyard more exciting to your dog by giving him toys to chew on and by playing with him. • Secure your pets during transport using crates, harnesses and leashes. • Use positive training to increase your dog’s chances of responding to your request to “Come.” • Spay or neuter your pet. Aside from many health benefits, your pet will be less likely to roam. • Prepare a lost pet kit in advance with recent photos and posters just in case. • Train your pet to associate a pet whistle with meals by blowing just before you feed him. If he ever gets lost, you’ll increase the chances that he will respond to your search efforts. For more information about finding a lost pet, visit ontariospca.org or lostapet.org.

In 1948, shortly after arriving in Canada from his native Jamaica, he was making $1.25 an hour working at Massey Harris (later to become Massey Ferguson). He wanted to be a welder, so he enrolled in a welding course at the Chicago Vocational School. “I made a mistake and told my supervisor. He said to go get my money back because they had never hired a black welder,” Mr. Arm- strong remembered. He ignored his supervisor’s suggestion, graduated from the school and applied to be a welder. While the company was hiring weld- ers, Mr. Armstrong never heard from the per- sonnel department. When he inquired, he was told the application couldn’t be found. Eventually, he applied three times, and each time was given the same response. So, he turned to the United Auto Work- ers Local 439 for help. There Mr. Armstrong met local president Steve Anko, who ques- tioned why the union should help him when he hadn’t been to any of the monthly union meetings. “Something happened I’ve never forgotten. There was this nice little fella (Mr. Anko). I don’t think he reached five feet. He said ‘you are part of this movement.’ I said ‘I promise you, you will see me every month at every union meet- ing.’ There were 4,500 union members and 13 black people. That’s how I got involved in the union. From that stage, I never looked back,” Mr. Armstrong said. He went on to publish a newspaper, The Islander, from 1973 to 1997, served as a com- missioner on the Ontario Human Rights Commission, as an adjudicator with the Ontario Labour Relations Board, convinced then North York Mayor Mel Lastman to set up the first municipal race relations commit- tee, served on the board of governors for the Canadian Centre for Police Relations, has been a recipient of the Order of Canada (1994) and the Order of Ontario (1992), and over the years, helped untold numbers with problems both big and small. “I’m 87 and I still get people sending me let- ters asking for help. That’s what gives you the feeling your contribution made a difference,” he said. “For the hundreds and hundreds I’ve helped over the years, not too many come back and say thank you. That doesn’t bother me. I never charged anyone for helping them.” These days, the 32-year resident of Pickering can look back without regret. “If I had to do it all over again, I would do the same damn thing. I feel I made a contribu- tion and that’s very important to me,” he said. “Sometimes I sit down and think. People think I’m rich. I’m not rich, I’m not poor. I’m rich in my experiences. We’re human beings and we have to learn to live together.” Living together hasn’t always been easy in Ontario. In the 1940s and ’50s, a black person wouldn’t be served in taverns, clubs, hotels or restaurants. “People can’t believe it happened here in Canada, but it happened,” he said, adding the Toronto Labour Council set about gathering evidence of discrimination. “We checked all kinds of clubs. We tested barber shops, restaurants. We never tested them but even churches discriminated. You were politely told you don’t belong,” Mr. Arm- strong said. In 1951, Leslie Frost became premier and “he was sympathetic to what we were doing. In 1951, we got the fair employment act. He passed eight pieces of legislation,” covering such issues as labour practices and equal pay. In 1953, the Fair Accommodation Act was approved. At the time, restaurants in Dres- den, north of Chatham, wouldn’t serve peo- ple of colour. If someone went in, they weren’t served, while being told the restaurant was closed. Mr. Armstrong and others shed light on the discrimination in Dresden and put pressure on the provincial government to take action. The labour minister, Charles Daley, was responsible for the Fair Accommodations Act and he refused to take action. The matter was discussed in the legislature and the protesters were accused of being subversives and com- munist activists. “Everything was hard. That’s why I have a lot of respect for Premier Leslie Frost,” Mr. Arm- strong said. Mr. Frost stood up in the legislature and said “I stand behind my legislation. As long as I’m premier, there will be no second-class citi- zens.” Mr. Armstrong noted he feels “very, very good about my contribution” to Ontario being the first province to enact such legislation. Other provinces followed and then the federal government. It wasn’t easy and at times, it could have been dangerous. While publishing his paper, he one time received a letter saying ‘prepare to die’ and another time, a stick of dynamite was mailed to his office. “I was resigned if this was how I would go out, it’s how I would go out,” he said. Eventually, police arrested 29 white suprem- acists. The first mayor’s committee on race rela- tions was created by Mel Lastman. Former Toronto mayor John Sewell was going to enact legislation, but was defeated before he could, while Art Eggleton didn’t even put it on the back burner. “He took it right off the stove all together,” Mr. Armstrong said. “I said to Lastman, ‘I can’t believe what you’re doing. We’re offering you a chance to get into the history books.’ He thought about it and that’s how we got the first race relations committee,” he noted. “Those are the things that make you feel right,” he said.

Durham caregivers honoured for kindness, selflessness DURHAM -- Caregivers across Durham Region were honoured for their contribu- tions to help others live fulfilling lives during a reception hosted by the Central East Com- munity Care Access Centre. Among those honoured was Thelma Jack- son, who travelled to Calgary when her sister started showing signs of early-stage demen- tia and brought her back to Durham Region to ensure the best possible quality of life. Although some of you may feel hesitant to consider yourself a hero, in the eyes of those individuals who have benefited from or wit- nessed your nurturing, you are truly hero- ic,” said Don Ford, CEO for the Central East CCAC, to the 47 recipients being honoured. The CCAC received more than 130 nomi- nations for the awards, which recognize care of all kinds, including friends, family mem- bers, community volunteers, personal sup- port workers, care coordinators, nurses, therapists or other health care profession- als. Each nominee received a Heroes in the Home award, presented at one of several celebratory receptions held across Durham in June.

Sure, August is here, but the way I look at it, we’re only half-way into summer. The lawns are green, the days are long and farm- ers’ markets are overflowing with fresh food. Bordered by lakes Ontario, Scugog and Simcoe, Durham Region has water- fronts, parks and natural areas to suit every taste and temperament. Looking for action and adventure? Hikers, cyclists and strollers out there will enjoy the more than 350 kilome- tres of recreational trails across Durham Region. You can even ride along some of our trails on horseback. In fact, the Town- ship of Uxbridge reigns proud as the Trails Capital of Canada! Visit www.dur- hamtourism.ca to download our handy Durham Trails Guide and Durham Cycle Tours map to plan your route before heading out. For a truly new perspective on summer, head to the treetops. One of Durham Region’s newest summer experiences takes place in the treetops on the beau- tiful Oak Ridges Moraine in Oshawa. Treetop Eco-Adventure Park is a heart-pumping, adrenaline-rushing, aerial adventure where you can zip- line and walk through the tree can- opy. http://www.treetopeco-adven- turepark.com/. Another exciting way to explore the outdoors is geocaching. For those who don’t know, it’s like going on a scaven- ger hunt where you start with nothing more than the latitude and longitude of an object (the cache) and use a device enabled with a global positioning sys- tem (GPS) to find it. It’s a fun activity for an adventurous family, and now there is an official Dur- ham Tourism GeoTour for you to try. Durham Tourism, in partnership with Cacher’s Corner Store, has selected 48 geocaches throughout Durham Region, and is awarding a geocoin as a prize to the first 100 geocachers who find 24 caches, with at least one found in each of the eight area municipalities that make up Durham Region. Visit http://www.durhamtourism.ca/ whattodo/geocaching.aspx to down- load a geocaching passport and get started. If techno-treasure hunting isn’t your style, you might be glad to relax and soak in the lakeside vibes at a waterfront festival. The Town of Ajax has activities and events on Aug. 10 from noon to 5 p.m. at Carruthers Marsh Pavilion, Veter- ans Point, Lion’s Point and Rotary Park. Enjoy goodies from local restaurants, live entertainment and an artisan’s marketplace too. Visit www.ajax.ca for details. One of my favourite parts of August is the blueberry harvest. Only 11 per cent of land in Ontario is suitable to grow this discerning crop, and we’re lucky to have some of it right here in Durham Region. Visit Wilmot Orchards in Clarington to pick your own with the whole family. Don’t miss the treats at Appleber- ries Cafe while you’re there! Visit www. wilmotblueberries.com. On Aug. 17 and 18 you can check out Art in the Park in Uxbridge. The Uxbridge Lions are running their annual event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Elgin Park. Admission and parking is free, and there will be fun for kids, food vendors, entertainment and more, all in support of the Lions Dog Guides and other com- munity projects.

The Durham Region health depart- ment noted the mosquitoes were collected at one of its permanent mosquito trap sites in Ajax. The insects were collected on July 30 and the positive confir- mation was received on Aug. 2. It’s the second positive test for WNV in Ajax this year. So far, five groups of mosquitoes have test- ed positive in Durham this year. Across the province, 22 groups have tested positive, with 16 of them found in the GTA. “Historically, August and September are the months when most human WNV cases occur so it is important to remind area residents to continue to take pre- cautions to avoid mosquito bites. Posi- tive mosquito results continue to be confirmed locally and across the GTA,” said Laura Freeland, manager, environ- mental health with the Region. The virus is a mosquito-borne dis- ease that is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mos- quitoes become infected by feeding on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. The disease is not passed from person to person or from bird to person. Most people who contract the virus will experience mild illness including fever, headache, body ache, nausea, vomiting and rash on the chest, stomach or back.

The Boots and Hearts music festival organizer was still on site at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. As you can imagine, there was a lot of cleaning up to do after the event wrapped up on Sunday. He made the comment as we were speak- ing of the torrential rain that fell on the Fri- day, which flooded out camping and park- ing areas, drenched other areas of the park, required the closing of the gates and a pause in the music for safety reasons. While the festival after that featured clear, albeit cool, weather, it was like Mother Nature on Friday wanted to remind everybody that at an out- door event she’s in charge. “We really can’t control that,” McNevan said. “Unfortunately, when the weather hits like it did ... it’s going to hurt us.” We spoke of the resilience of the Boots crowd, something I witnessed first hand. Like last year, they didn’t let the poor weath- er spoil their fun. They danced and played in the rain. And then there were the lineups. Fans waited hours to get into the venue. McNe- van said he would be “thrilled” if the longest wait was two hours or less. People waited far longer, especially trying to get into the Thursday night kickoff, when McNevan says around 15,000 people showed up. Many gave up and left. “It’s a gift and a curse,” he said of enter- taining thousands. McNevan pointed out that long waits occur at other festivals. And that there are five gates at the park. But he knows it’s an issue that needs attention. There were complaints that people couldn’t access the premium parking they had paid for. McNevan vowed to “make it right.” Wild rumours to the contrary, and we both heard them, it seems there were no serious issues on the grounds as far as people’s per- sonal safety was concerned. McNevan separated the entertainment part of the festival from the rain and other issues. So did an Alliston couple I met. Ross and Tammy Downey were RV camping. “For the enter- tainment part, I’m having a blast,” Tammy said. Like the majority of the people I spoke with, they felt other aspects were pretty unorganized. But there was the music, and there were some memorable performances. None bet- ter, to my eyes and ears, than Dierks Bent- ley on Sunday night. What a guy and what an entertainer. The crowd loved him and he loved them right back. “He was amazing,” McNevan said. After leaving the stage, he said Bentley commented, ‘I can’t believe how much energy this crowd has’. Other acts had the same sort of reaction: ‘this crowd is insane!’ Oh yeah, this crew partied. A casual observer checking out the 20-somethings, especially at night when many had downed several, even a lot of drinks, might have con- cluded that they were a bunch of yahoos. They weren’t. “All of the young people are very respect- ful,” Simon Clermont, closing in on 50 years old, told me. “They call me sir; I feel old.” On the last night, Shawn Dow, a farm boy from Mitchell near Stratford, Ontar- io, strolled up to me with a couple of bud- dies and asked what I was writing down. They were tent camping for the weekend. We had a long chat and Shawn was articulate. Still, I couldn’t help but won- der how many beers he had in him. Shawn said if he hadn’t hit double figures yet, he was close. “Get drunk, meet people and have a good time,” he replied when I asked him to sum up the weekend. Sounds like a music festival. Photographer Sabrina Byrnes was at the festival with me all weekend and took a lot of incredible photos. Check them out, along with other Boots and Hearts coverage, at durhamregion.com.

SabRina byRneS / MetRoland See more Boots and Hearts stories and photos with When she was a child in Pakistan, Surriya Raheel was given an inexpensive camera by her father and spent hours wander- ing the outdoors shooting flowers and animals and enjoying the magical photo results. Unfortunately, at some point the cam- era was stolen and her photo expressions terminated. It wasn’t until decades later that she returned to picture taking here in Canada, when she bought a camera for $4 at a yard sale and began to shoot again. After purchasing a sequence of ever more expensive cameras -- and training and, ultimately, finding photo gigs to do -- she flowered as a professional photographer. And not just as a provider of photo ser- vices for portraits and weddings and other events, but as an artist-photogra- pher, with interests in macro shots of flo- ral subjects, landscapes and other natu- ral wonders. Interestingly, her ticket to come to Can- ada had nothing to do with artistic expres- sion. An engineering degree helped her land a job in this country, with its short- age of engineers, in 1999. Since then she has worked in various positions, primar- ily in the auto industry, and mostly here in Durham Region, but also briefly for Honda in Ohio in 2009. It was in Ohio that she plunged into training and lessons for another passion of hers: painting. She found a teacher who helped her expand a talent for paint- ing that had also been sparked when she was a child in Pakistan. When she came back to this area, she added paintings to her artistic output and began showing her works on a yearly basis at Artfest in Pickering, where they sell well, with some patrons, gratifyingly, returning year after year to purchase more. So, on a rotating basis, Raheel may be photographing a wedding, then out with photo meet-up groups or solo, tak- ing beautiful high-definition pictures of flowers or landscapes, then spending time in her home work area painting flo- rals or animals. She is currently working on a series of beach sunrise photos and is considering how she may be able to pass on her artistic skills in a teaching scenar- io.

Wrestling Canada Lutte is sending a strong contingent of wrestlers to the 2013 FILA junior world championships in Bul- garia from Aug. 13-18. Canada will send 15 wrestlers to com- pete for the world titles for both men and women. Among these 15 wrestlers, 14 are current junior Canadian champions, includ- ing Ajax’s Papadopoulos. “This event will be a great measuring stick for us to see where our junior wres- tlers are standing against the world. It is always an important tournament for these young wrestlers, sometimes the first major competition outside of Canada,” said Tonya Verbeek, Wrestling Canada’s talent identifi- cation coach who will be headed oversees with the young group. “We are heading to Bulgaria with the primary objectives to expose our athletes to international com- petition, and to fight for the world titles.” Papadopoulos, a rising star from Dur- ham-based Team Impact, will be wrestling for Canada in the 59kg weight class, trying to improve on her fifth-place finish at the 2012 edition of this prestigious event. The 2012 Cadet world championships bronze medallist has been on a sharp rise to the top, winning the Grand Prix of Spain this year as well as being a critical mem- ber of Team Canada’s victory at Battle of the Falls, pinning both her opponents. At the Asics Canadian championships, Papa- dopoulos won both the junior and senior titles, and was named the Most Outstand- ing Wrestler for both categories. In addi- tion, she won the bronze medal at the 2013 FILA senior Pan-American champi- onships. Knee injury changes Hewitt Lacrosse player regained confidence with Ajax Ironheads Jr. B team Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- An injury has changed McNein Hewitt’s perspective on his remaining two years of NCAA eligibility. He vows to make the most of the opportu- nity. “Sitting out for a year really makes you realize that you can’t take anything for granted,” says the Whitby resident. “I’m going to come back this season ready to go.” Hewitt suffered a nasty ACL tear this past fall while entering his junior year of a field lacrosse scholarship at Lindenwood Uni- versity in St. Charles, Missouri. It came dur- ing a typical one-on-one drill, when he fell to the ground and blew his knee out. He was forced to the sidelines for the entire season, spending his time in rehab instead of practices and games. “It was a long recovery process. It was about six months of rehab and I couldn’t travel with the team or anything,” he says. “I just had to stay dedicated to rehab.” A couple of positives came out of the pro- cess. He received the Heart of a Lion award from the school for his work ethic, and was red-shirted for his junior year of eligibility, meaning he can still play out his junior and senior seasons at the school. The Father Leo J. Austin graduate was looking to build on two promising seasons he had with the Lions field lacrosse team. As a freshman he appeared in 17 games, scoring seven times and adding six assists. In his sophomore season he played in 15 games, starting nine, finishing second on the team with 16 goals and third on the team with 23 points. Five times he had a multi-goal game. Then came the injury. But he spent the summer building confi- dence in the rehabilitated knee by playing Jr. B lacrosse with the Ajax Ironheads. In 15 regular season games, he registered 24-25- 49 point totals, good enough for second on the team. Thoughts of converting his talent and passion for field lacrosse into a scholar- ship took place in Grade 12 at Austin. Over the Christmas break he ventured to Roch- ester to play in a tournament, where staff from Lindenwood was going to be in atten- dance. Hewitt had some interest from Division III schools, but after a couple of visits, he opted to make the 15-hour drive to Missouri. “The campus was amazing and the new facilities were great,” he says. The school was also moving up the com- petitive ranks, shifting to Division II for his freshman season. It’s the only NCAA school in Missouri that offers lacrosse, Hewitt adds. Needless to say, he’s more than anxious to get back on the field with his teammates this season. When he’s not playing, the business marketing program takes up the rest of his time at Lindenwood. AJAX -- McNein Hewitt, who played this season with the Jr. B Ajax Ironheads, is enter- ing his junior year of a field lacrosse scholarship at Lindenwood University in Missouri. Jason lieBregts / Metroland Pickering’s Cheria Morgan off to Russia OTTAWA -- Oshawa’s Matt Hughes and Pickering’s Cheria Morgan are among the 46 athletes officially named to represent Canada at the 2013 International Associa- tion of Athletics Federations world cham- pionship Aug. 10- 18 in Moscow. Hughes will compete in the 3000-metre steeplechase while Morgan is part of Cana- da’s 4x100m women’s relay team. “The Moscow world championship is our first major test on the path towards suc- cess at Rio 2016,” said team leader Scott MacDonald, in an Athletics Canada press release. “Our objective is to improve on the medal count and top-8 finishes we had at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Jason Liebregts / MetroLand Ontario looking for repeat Midget lacrosse team seeking national title brad KeLLy bkelly@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Jason Crosbie has won a national championship while at the helm of the Clarington Green Gaels, engraving the name of the club on the Founders Cup. He’s looking to duplicate that feat this week, but on another level. While his Green Gaels prepare for the opening of the Jr. B Ontario final against Six Nations, Crosbie is pulling double duty as head coach of Team Ontario that is competing for the midget lacrosse cham- pionship of Canada as part of the gigan- tic Ontario Lacrosse Festival being held throughout Durham Region. Last year Crosbie was an assistant coach with Ontario, winning gold as the top prov- ince in the country. “This year they asked me to come back and be the head coach,” says Crosbie of how things unfolded. “It’s been a lot of fun. It’s been a good time. The kids love it. It’s a busy time, but exciting. I like it, teaching the young kids and seeing them develop in a short period of time is phenomenal.” Ontario has always been a dominant team, and this year’s edition is following the same pattern. Through the opening three days of the round robin, Ontario was a perfect 4-0, outscoring Quebec, Manito- ba, Nova Scotia and British Columbia by a combined 62-4. Getting this year’s team to buy in to the systems in short order has been an easy sell, says Crosbie. “Any kind of provincial team, you’re look- ing for players who you think are going to mould into your system. When you get them, you have to quickly put in a system. You’re also dealing with high-level ath- letes. They get it. They understand it.” The gold medal game, of which Ontario is expected to be a part of, goes Saturday at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre at 8:05 p.m. Also on tap Saturday are the medal games for the peewee national championships, with the gold being contested at 3:05 p.m. The championships are part of the fes- tival that has attracted 472 teams over a 10-day period, crowning provincial cham- pions in the tyke, novice, peewee, bantam, midget and intermediate levels for the boys, bantam, midget and intermediate for the girls. 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 8 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP 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 8 , 2 0 1 3 26 AP Get the Skills you Need for your New Career DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com CONTACTUS TODAY! • BUSINESS • TECHNOLOGY • HEALTHCARE • LAW • SUPPLY CHAIN 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com OSHAWA: 200 JOHN ST.
