See AJAX-PICKERING page 9 Pickering branches out with tree project PICKERING -- The City of Pickering has been awarded a TD Green Streets grant valued at up to $15,000 to fund tree planting at Highbush Public School and in the adjacent Amberlea Park. The grant money, awarded to the City by TD Friends of the Environ- ment Foundation and Tree Canada, will fund the purchase and planting of the trees along with the construc- tion of an outdoor classroom at Highbush Public School. The grant money will also pay for the devel- opment of education materials, including on-site interpretive sig- nage and tree identification labels. In 2011, the City of Pickering was awarded TD Green Streets funding and used the money to celebrate the City’s bicentennial. Those funds were spent on the construction of an arboretum, along with tree and shrub planting. The TD Friends of the Environ- ment Foundation and Tree Canada award grants annually to 25 com- munities across Canada. Winning communities have shown dedica- tion to outreach and educational programs related to arboricultural practices, management tools to pro- tect and maintain community trees, innovative planting techniques, and other activities that support existing urban greenspaces and encourage planting trees. The money is to be used to support leading-edge prac- tices in municipal forestry, includ- ing tree planting, inventory, main- tenance and educational activities.

At about 1:45 a.m. on March 8, an altercation involving a number of people broke out in the area of Brock and Colborne streets in downtown Whitby, Durham Regional Police report. During the incident, a storefront window was bro- ken and a piece of the glass was used to stab the vic- tim, police said. Two suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. The victim was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to a Toronto-area trauma hospital with serious, life-threatening inju- ries. Officers collected information about the sus- pects at the scene and a tactical support unit spotted the suspect vehicle a short time later and the suspects were arrested. Shane Lyn, 29 of Annland Street in Pickering, and Jordan Anderson, 24 of Keewatin Street North in Oshawa, have both been charged with aggravat- ed assault. Anyone with more information is asked to call Det. Minicola of the Central West Divi- sion Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888- 579-1520, ext. 1834.

But one thing is known -- fixing the dam- age will be expensive. “We don’t have an exact number ... but it will be in the millions of dollars,” says John Presta, director of environmental services for the Region of Durham. On the morning of Jan. 21, there was an explosion and fire in a bio-filter building at the Duffin Creek sewage treatmnent plant. There were no injuries and plant opera- tions weren’t affected. As part of the investigation process, the Ministry of Labour requires the Region to bring in an independent engineer to do a review. On March 5 regional council approved spending $310,000 “on an emergen- cy basis” to hire a firm to complete the work. Associated Engineering Ltd. will be paid up to $210,000 for the engineering review, with another $100,000 included for a contingency allowance. A report says the funding source for the work will be determined by the Region’s commissioner of finance. Mr. Presta said the review will get to the bottom of what caused the explosion, develop a restoration plan and make rec- ommendations on how to go forward. “We want to make sure it doesn’t hap- pen again,” he said. Region officials are anticipating that insurance will cover the damage costs, and will report back to council once there is more information. The Duffin Creek plant treats waste water from homes and businesses before it is released into Lake Ontario.

At a special board meeting on March 6, Brock trustee and vice-chairwoman Kathy LeFort announced Ajax trustee and board chairwoman Karen Valentine's resignation. Ms. Valentine, a lawyer by trade, was appointed a justice of the peace on March 4. “I have been blessed to serve the DCDSB community with Karen as our chair," said Trustee LeFort. "Karen is a true leader, with a kind heart. Our Catholic school community has benefited from her dedication, commit- ment and leadership. The DCDSB of trustees congratulates Karen on her appointment." Ms. Valentine assumed the role of trustee in 2010, and has held the position of chair- woman since December 2012. She also sat on the board of directors at the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association. "I have experienced some of (the) great- est joy and hope with my DCDSB family," said Ms. Valentine. "The Catholic ratepayers of Ajax gave me the opportunity to represent their interests and to support our students’ successes, and my fellow trustees encour- aged my leadership. For this, I am truly grate- ful.” Director of education Anne O'Brien said she's pleased Ms. Valentine is moving on to promote the principals of equity and justice. In August, former Oshawa trustee Stan Karwowski resigned for professional rea- sons when he became chief financial officer of the City of Pickering. In November, former Whitby trustee Mary Ann Martin stepped down for personal reasons. The board will announce the process for filling the Ajax trustee position on March 17. e xc l u s i v e eb o o k s F R E E t o r e a d e r s o f du r h a m re g i o n . c o m Ages 2-12.

And when we’re talking about a frozen body of water it can be downright treach- erous, even deadly. Pickering residents need to learn more about ice and exercise extra caution where it is concerned. The longer days, brighter skies and the hint of warm weather to come we’ve expe- rienced lately have many people suffering from a dose of spring fever. But old man winter often doesn’t go quickly, and at this time of year it’s espe- cially important not to let our guard down. Twice this winter a vehicle has gone through the ice on Frenchman’s Bay and, in the most recent incident, Pickering’s William Ferenc helped a female driver escape as icy water enveloped the vehi- cle. Pickering has responded by putting a rock barrier in front of one access point, but it’s been noted that physically pre- venting all vehicles from driving onto the icy bay is tricky. Councillor Kevin Ashe has suggest- ed signs or public education might be required. We agree with that as many of us think we’re know-it-alls when it comes to ice. It turns out we could all use a refresher. First, we assume that after, say, a week or two of very cold temperatures ice is safe for people to walk on and motorists to drive on. But it’s not so simple. The depth of the water, whether there’s a current and whether vehicles have driven on it all play a role in the thickness of the ice. And with a layer of snow covering a potential haz- ard spot or area, the danger is often not visible. Furthermore, ice thickness can vary, even within a small area. Bottom line, the thickness of the ice in one spot doesn’t mean it will be the same five or 10 feet away. The Red Cross adds that ice thickness is also affected by the time of year and other environmental factors such as: chemicals, including salt; fluctuations in water levels, logs, rocks and docks absorbing heat from the sun; and changing air temperature. It states that the ice thickness should be: 15 centimetres for walking or skating alone, 20 centimetres for skating parties or games and 25 centimetres for snowmo- biles. Add it all up and the message is that ice isn’t to be fooled with. Given the incidents this winter, the mes- sage to Pickering residents is that they should be ultra cautious around and on ice. And given that Pickering is located on a large water body and people flock to the shoreline, it would be smart for the City to send out information to residents on the dangers of ice. Seeking accountability from municipal election candidates To the editor: Those who make the argument that voter turnout is low because people are apathetic haven’t spent much time eaves- dropping in the local coffee shop. Politics is a frequent topic and everybody has an opinion. People don’t vote because politics has become a circus in which every candi- date promises accountability, transpar- ency, lower taxes, more parkland, etc. The unfortunate reality is that the huckster with the slickest presentation has the best chance of getting elected. The honest ones who make reasonable and achievable promises get lost in the shuffle. The result is dysfunctional governments with no leadership. Voters know this, but have no way to cut through to the truth. So rather than vote blindly, they don’t vote at all. In the last election, DurhamCLEAR, a local environmental group, sent a ques- tionnaire to every candidate in the region. More than 130 responded but analysis yielded little useful information because it was impossible to tell which were answer- ing truthfully and which were making it up on the fly. This election, DurhamCLEAR is asking candidates to put their elected jobs on the line with an accountability pledge, mod- elled on the American practice of recall. Details and pledges are posted on AccountabilityProject.ca. Doug Anderson Pickering airport presents a risk To the editor: Re: Pickering airport controversy. Numerous letters in the News Adver- tiser in the past month have pointed out questionable aspects of the federal gov- ernment’s plans to build an airport in Pickering. Pickering council’s request for “an open and transparent process” is especial- ly important so that Pickering citizens, landholders and council, as well as pro- vincial and federal taxpayers, can under- stand what the business case is for this potentially very expensive airport, partic- ularly with the potential risk of huge cost overruns and possible over-capacity and underuse. We also need to watch out for the expen- sive question of who will be paying for the infrastructure, to reduce the risk of huge debts for Pickering as we saw revealed last year with the infrastructure costs for Seaton, until Pickering re-negotiated the infrastructure charges with developers.

Your Life: Yoga for arthritis and related pain Video series on durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Next week’s Your Life video series on durhamregion.com features yoga for arthritis with Oshawa yogi Wendy Melville. With over 12 years of personal prac- tice, Ms. Melville decided to leave the corporate world and focus on her pas- sion to help others through her personal experience and extensive yoga training. She was introduced to yoga as a result of fibromyalgia, an arthritis-related con- dition characterized by chronic mus- cle pain, stiffness, aches and fatigue. Through Ms. Melville’s recovery process, she has brought her knowledge to class- es. Based out of her own home studio, Ms. Melville’s Gentle Yoga offers therapeutic hatha-based, private, semi-private and small group classes with an emphasis on breath and alignment. For more infor- mation, visit wendysgentleyoga.ca. Regular physical activity is vital for people with arthritis, who often have decreased muscle strength, physical energy and endurance. Being sedentary can lead to a downward spiral where pain can increase, which can result in more inactivity, leading to greater pain and disability. Exercising also comes with psychological benefits including stress reduction, fewer depressive symp- toms, self-confidence and enhanced immune efficiency. In this video series, Ms. Melville demonstrates a few gen- tle yoga postures that can be helpful for people with arthritis and arthritis-relat- ed pain. The key here is to perform these postures gently by avoiding strain. Join us as we will have a new yoga pose each day of the week on video. Series breakdown: • Monday, March 17: Cat and cow Ms. Melville demonstrates this posture which helps to keep the spine mobile. Make it gen- tler: For painful knees, fold a towel or blanket under the knees. For painful wrists: Place forearms on the floor instead of palms. • Tuesday, March 18: Mountain pose In this video, Ms. Melville shows how moun- tain pose helps to strengthen knee joints. By lifting the pelvis, you can improve this pos- ture. • Wednesday, March 19: Upward salute This posture helps to stretch the sides of the body, spine, shoulders, armpits and belly. It tones the thighs, improves digestion and helps to relieve anxiety and fatigue. It also creates space in the chest and lungs, which is therapeutic for asthma and congestion. • Thursday, March 20: Chair variation This posture can be made for all abilities. Ms. Melville demonstrates the chair variation, great for strengthening ankles, thighs, calves and the spine, while stretching the shoulders and chest at the same time. • Friday, March 21: Cobbler pose variation In this video, Ms. Melville shows how this posture helps to improve flexibility. The cob- bler pose strengthens the groin, knees and inner thighs. Is there a project or topic you would like to see us cover? Let us know what you want to learn.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Life abounds as temperatures rise After the long white winter comes the big melt, what all of Durham Region -- the whole Northern Hemisphere -- has been waiting for. Every day that the tempera- ture gets anywhere near zero you see the sun eating away at snowbanks, while above zero it devours them. The action starts on south-facing slopes and around the base of trees, where heat concentrations cause ice- melting microclimates. And as soon as that white, reflective snow crust is gone, poof. The dark earth absorbs more and more sunlight and pumps out more and more heat. And winter is over. The first migrants back to take advan- tage of melting conditions are horned larks -- small, twittering birds of open coun- trysides, well camouflaged in the barren fields where they run about, feeding on fallen seeds. Some horned larks overwinter in Durham, but flocks from farther south are moving in, stopping along the melt- ing edges of roads to pick up weed seeds freshly exposed, and bits of grit and gravel. They’re the true first harbingers of spring. Bonnie O’Carroll reported seeing a flock along Halls Road in Whitby two weeks ago, and described them perfectly, as being “like a small sparrow, with a dark trian- gular patch from in front of the eye to the back of the head, as well as a dark necklace across the throat. They run around quickly, like a killdeer, running down the road or on the snow instead of flying away.” Her mention of killdeers is also timely, as these open-field breeders, of the shore- bird family, also arrive back just as the snows are melting, heralded by their loud, unmistakable “kill-deer, kill-deer” cries. They’re twice the size of horned larks and have a double “dark necklace” band across their white chest. Instead of seeds, they’re mainly carnivores, feeding on insects and their larvae, spiders, snails and even cray- fish -- any available animal life to be found around springs, marshes and mudflats where ice is retreating. Snows melting in low-lying thickets in brushy fields and at the edges of streams allow American woodcocks to come back to southern Ontario earlier than most other birds. They need wet, spongy soils they can probe with their long, needle-like bills, feeling around for earthworms, which they grab with the flexible tip. These plump, salmon-tinged shorebirds walk slowly and heavily on their short legs, rocking forward and back -- an unusual gait that some orni- thologists think might cause worms below to move about and betray their location. And of course, as soon as the frost is out of snow-bare lawns, American robins could be there, hunting for lunch. Contrary to popular belief, they’re not listening for earthworms as they cock their head to one side, but looking for them. With eyes on the sides of their head, robins have monocular vision, and can use each eye independent- ly.

And it seems that more and more, people are realizing that pets are not just beneficial to their owners, but to people of all ages who need a little TLC in a variety of ways. It was touching last week when I got to watch a therapy dog named Jasmine sit patiently -- as she does every week -- as a group of young children read stories to her at Holy Family Catholic Elementary School in Bowmanville. "They love it, the dogs love it," said Michele Peddle, Bowmanville team leader for Thera- peutic Paws of Canada. "It brings them out of their shell." Therapeutic Paws of Canada is a non-profit volunteer-based charity that provides cat and dog resources for human needs for every- thing from physical to mental to educational purposes through regular visits to hospitals, residences and schools. “We have about 600 dogs across Canada,” said Ms. Peddle. The Paws To Read program matches child- certified therapy dogs and handlers with children who struggle to read. The children are encouraged to choose books they think the dog would like to hear and read aloud to them. The dogs provide undivided attention to the kids as they do so. According to the charity, studies have shown that reading to dogs encourages con- fidence and boosts self-esteem in children who struggle to read aloud in class, therefore boosting their literacy. Ms. Peddle and Jasmine alone have trained 35 teams in Durham in the past four years. Jasmine, a six-year-old poodle-pomerani- an cross, spent time with Mason Ansell and a handful of other students on the morning I stopped by. “It’s just fun,” said Mason, a Grade 2 stu- dent. He said he enjoys it because “I can tell that she’s listening.” But here’s the difference between dogs and some people: they don’t judge. “They don’t feel any type of pressure to not make mistakes,” Candy Goldsworthy, edu- cational assistant, said of the children when they read to the therapy dogs. Carol Cunneen, the schools’s special edu- cation resource teacher, said having the dogs nearby when it’s time to read helps students who need a support in a variety of ways -- some are exceptional, others need emotional support -- to come out of their shells. “We just started not long ago but they look forward to the visit,” she said. “It encourages them to read.” One student’s mother saw the dogs in a parade and got the ball rolling for the pro- gram to come to the school. Ms. Cunneen has been quite thrilled with the results. “It helps them in all different ways I think,” said Ms. Cunneen. Ms. Peddle explained all of the volunteers and their dogs start visiting with adults in nursing homes and seniors’ residences, for example, before they graduate to working with children. She and Jasmine also visit inpatients at the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sci- ences, who spend time petting her and play- ing with her for therapeutic reasons. But this well-mannered pooch, who belongs to Ms. Peddle, also spends much of her time as a regular pet. “When the vest comes off, she’s just like any other dog,” she said. So what makes Jasmine an ideal therapy dog? “She’s polite, she’s sociable, she’s calm, she loves the interaction with the kids and she’s obedient,” said her owner. Another member of the organization also visits the Holy Family students with her collie named Donner each week. For more information, to donate to the therapy dog programs, or to learn how you and your dog can volunteer, visit www.tpoc. ca. BOWMANVILLE -- Jasmine is a six-year- old poo-pom mix and is a member of Therapeutic Paws of Canada. Jasmine is part of a reading program at Holy Family Catholic School, helping students with exceptionalities feel more comfortable about reading. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Ever noticed that your elderly pet might stare into space, wander aimlessly or seem inexplicably anxious? If so, your pet may be suffering from cognitive dysfunction. This disorder can have a multitude of clinical signs including inappropriate elimination in the house, sleep disturbances and generalized disorienta- tion. This can happen due to age related changes in the brain –atrophy, minor bleeds/infarcts and changes in neurotransmitter levels have all been linked. Unfortunately, cognitive dysfunction is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that there isn’t a specific test for it, so your veterinarian may need to do an array of tests in order to rule out certain problems. However, if diagnosed with cognitive dysfunction there are some things you can do to help your pet. Certain medications, antioxidants and environmental enrichment can all help your pet battle cognitive dysfunction. Ask the Vet: What is cognitive dysfunction?Written by Dr. Hillary Butler If you think your pet may have some of the symptoms of cognitive dysfunction then contact your veterinarian who can direct you to different tests and treatment options. http://www.veterinarypartner.com Kristen Calis Reporter Reading a ‘tail’ or two to dogs Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma r c h 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 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 • Ma r c h 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 9 P PICKERING STORE ONLY BROCK ROAD AND 401 PICKERING STORE: 905-686-2308 MON.-FRI.: 8-9 • SAT.: 8-7 • SUN.: 9-6 29.33 419.93 99.93 15.93 350.03 179.93 29.93 13.73-35.93 99.93 69.93 131.93 1500LB WINCH 40-5912-4 •REG 69.99 • 2 ONLY DYSON DC23 MOTORHEAD CANISTER VA C 43-6097-2 •REG 599.99 • 3 ONLY STEAM SHARK FLR CLNR 43-6781-2 •REG 249.99 • 5 ONLY DD 7.2V Crdles HndVac 43-6789-6 •REG 39.99 • 17 ONLY HISENSE 42'' LED HDTV 45-2076-2 •REG 499.99 • 1 ONLY PWRLFT900 1/2HP SCRW GARAGE DR OPNR 46-0287-0 •REG 299.99 • 3 ONLY LOCKSET, BRINKS, ENTTB 46-2613-2 •REG 49.99 • 3 ONLY BRINKS LOCKSETS/LEVERSETS 46-2615-X •REG 22.99-59.99 • LIMITED GRIPSET, BRINKS OVAL TB 46-2651-0 •REG 179.99 • 3 ONLY SV 5G/23L BLOWER VA C 54-0030-0 •REG 99.99 • 3 ONLY B0SCH18V L-ION DRILL W/BITS 54-1304-4 •REG 219.99 • 8 ONLY YG KNIFE/MULTI-TOOL KIT 75-3505-4 •REG 29.99 • 3 ONLY SCHWINN GRAFT 17'' BIKE 71-1009-6 •REG 699.99 • 1 ONLY AIRSOFT AK47 RIFLE 75-5444-6 •REG 119.99 • 5 ONLY BINOCULR 10X25 COMPCT CAMO 76-1048-2 •REG 24.99 • 2 ONLY MINN KOTA TRAXXIS 40LB/36” TRANSOM MTR 79-8533-8 •REG 399.99 • 1 ONLY UMBRO INDOOR SOC SHOE W/B/R ASSORTED SIZES 89-2717-X •REG 49.99 • LIMITED YUKON CAMO KNIFE 199-8740-8 •REG 9.99 • 8 ONLY LINCOLN ELECT WELDER W AUTO DARK HELMET 199-1966-4 •REG 659.99 • 1 ONLY MC 71PC AIRTOOL & 20PC ACC KIT 199-8738-6 •REG 329.98 • 4 ONLY DEWALT ROOFING NLR 3/4'' TO 1-3/ 4'' 199-7699-4 •REG 349.99 • 1 ONLY 8.93 209.93 47.93 7.43 159.93 14.93 5.83 197.93 98.93 104.93 HUGE STORE WIDESAVINGS25% TO 70% HERE ARE JUST A FEW ConstituencyOffice 300KingstonRoad,Unit7, Pickering,ON L1V6Z9 Te l 905-509-0336 Email tmaccharles.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org Web www.tracymaccharles.onmpp.ca Tracy MacCharles,MPP Pickering-Scarborough East EventDetails Sunday,January19,2014 1:00-3:00p.m. PetticoatCreekCommunityCentre 470KingstonRd,Pickering Refreshmentsanddessertswillbeserved.

Getting a sufficient amount in our diet every day is up to us. As an essential health-promoting, polyunsaturated fat, omega-3s help support vascular and heart health. Studies have suggested that omega-3s play a role in cognitive function, supporting joint health, and in eye health. These important nutrients help our body to function properly. Since we don’t produce omega-3 on our own, a good source is readily obtained from a balanced diet of fish, like salmon and trout—and a different omega-3 acid (called ALA) is found in flax seeds and nut oils. To get the right balance, we have to think about adding this fat to our diet every day. Canada’s Food Guide recommends at least two servings (75 grams each) of fish per week. That is 150 grams or one cup of cooked fish. Getting enough omega-3 through dietary sources alone can be challenging so some Canadians take quality daily krill oil supplement, like MegaRed. More information on omega-3s is available from your health care provider. News Canada What’s the big deal about omega-3? Omega-3 fats are healthy fats with many health benefits for adult and children. Omega-3 fats may help lower your risk of heart disease. In infants, omega-3 fats help with brain, nerve and eye development. Research is currently being done to see if omega-3 fats play a role in lowering the risk of cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) All three types of omega-3 fats are important to have in your diet. What are the health benefits of omega-3 fats?

And he acknowledges that it’s not an easy thing to transition from making art that has commercial intentions to the free-form, self-directed personal expression of art for art’s sake. Reider was born in Kassel, Germany, but brought to Toronto as a two-year old. His artistic talent was recognized and celebrat- ed early on by family and teachers and after Grade 8 he was enrolled in the legendary art-focused Danforth Tech in the east end of the city, graduating in 1972. He credits his secondary school art training as equiv- alent, at the time, of art training he would have received at any post-secondary insti- tution. However, after a year of work, he went back to his roots, to Kassel’s College of Visual Arts, where he studied as a ‘free stu- dent’, permitted to choose and work on his own projects for a two-year period. And, being in Europe, he was able to travel wide- ly and visit the numerous art museums and engage with a wide variety of cultural expe- riences. Back in Toronto -- and facing the need to make a living -- Reider began the long climb through advertising-related jobs, starting as a lowly paste-up artist, then designer and illustrator for various art studios. Eventually, he moved into the field of architectural rendering. That became his major source of income for the last three decades, initially working for others and then, in 1989, as a freelancer from his home in Pickering. Reider honed consummate skills in ren- dering architectural designs in watercolour and gouache over the decades and in recent years has turned increasingly to fine art projects of his own, with subject matter ranging from landscapes to street scenes, still lifes, florals and even the odd life fig- ure. He has joined the local PineRidge Arts Council, submitted work to jury shows and displayed paintings in the annual Pickering Artfest, where he will be exhibiting again this year. He embraces “design, rhythm, colour, eclectic subject matter, mystery, majesty and spontaneity,” artistic concerns he post- ed in his artist statement at a recent solo exhibition at the McLean Community Cen- tre in Ajax.

PICKERING -- Pickering artist Peter Reider at work on a new, urban scene water- colour. Photo by Allan O’Marra Allan O’Marra Professional Artist Allan’s Artists The story of Canada in prints at McLaughlin gallery Historical prints on display in Oshawa Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The history of Canada comes to life in an exhibition of prints at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. Culled from the EY (Ernst and Young) Art Collection, the prints, which date from the late 18th to the late 19th centu- ries, are being publicly exhibited for the first time. And Gabrielle Peacock, co-curator of the Capturing Canada show and the gal- lery's chief executive officer, notes that Oshawa is the only place the public will be able to see them. "We think the prints tell a great story," she says. "History's not boring. It's not boring when you (see) it this way." Peacock says the challenge was decid- ing which prints to choose from EY's "massive" collection. So she and co-cura- tor Edward G. Phillips have broken down the exhibit into sections such as Niagara Falls and Other Wonders, Conflict and Resolution and Community and Com- merce. In the days before photography, prints were the only method of mass producing and distributing images. Peacock notes that the prints were made for specific reasons: sold by print sellers in England, they were a means of attracting settlers to the new land, show- ing it as one full of natural wonders yet with a growing infrastructure; military people and others were recording the topography of the land; and, there was simple bravado in depicting, for exam- ple, military victories. Accuracy isn't always the highest pri- ority for the artists: Henri Abraham Chat- elain's Carte tres curieuse de la Mer du Sud, for example, shows industrious bea- vers building a dam. Some are walking upright and they've even built ramps. There are bird's-eye views of Canadi- an cities such as Winnipeg, Halifax and Toronto. The latter, a view From the top of the Jail, shows a broad dirt road by the lake and the very modest harbour facili- ties of the time. And there are 1879 prints with a local connection, the Ontario Ladies' College (now Trafalgar Castle School) in Whitby and the former Demill Ladies' College in Oshawa. Peacock says she especially likes the prints of First Nations people and those in the Man Overcomes Nature category. The exhibition runs to April 19. The Oshawa gallery is at 72 Queen St., behind Oshawa City Hall No pity party for Pickering Panthers OJHL team strong in playoff series loss to Kingston Voyageurs Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There’s a feeling of disap- pointment at being out of the playoffs, but the Pickering Panthers certainly aren’t having a pity party about it. The Panthers were eliminated in their best-of-seven series against the Kingston Voyageurs, falling 4-3 in the fifth game of their North-East Conference quarterfinal series. Aside from the first game, a 7-3 vic- tory by Kingston, the series was relatively close. Kingston won games two and three by the narrowest margins, 1-0 and 2-0, while the Panthers avoided the sweep with a 5-4 victory in the fourth game. Not bad considering Kingston entered the series as the top seed, the Panthers eighth, 31 points in the standings sepa- rating them. “I thought the series could have gone either way,” said GM/head coach Mike Galati. “Other than game one, they were pretty much one-goal games. I thought the boys played well. “Kingston are obviously a little deeper than we are. I think their skill took over at times. As far as the way we played, I thought we played great. I’m proud of our guys. They worked hard and maybe deserved a little better. That’s the way hockey works. Someone has to lose and this year it was us.” In the two games the Panthers were held off the scoreboard, those games weren’t decided until the third period. In the 1-0 loss, the winning goal by Kingston came with just 1:23 left in the game, while in the 2-0 setback, both Kingston goals came in the third period. At times the season was a rollercoaster ride for the Panthers. They had a stretch in November and December that saw them earn points in 10 straight games, winning nine of them. In January, Galati received a 10-game suspension after get- ting into a verbal confrontation with the referees after the game, and the Panthers suffered, losing 10 in a row, before final- ly breaking the slump with five wins in a row. “It was a huge step forward, making the playoffs,” said Galati, whose team improved by 19 points over last season. “January was our lowest point with every- thing that happened, but we came out of it pretty good and won five in a row to secure a spot in playoffs. “It was a bunch of kids that persevered. Everyone counted us out. No one expect- ed us to finish where we did. I’m proud of them.” The Panthers will lose five players off the roster due to age graduation -- Michael Walker, Robert Cammalleri, Kee- gan Ackerland, Steven Dombrosky and Mike Nedoszytko. The process for filling those spots begins in late April with rook- ie camp, but there won’t be a lot of open- ings next season. “We have 80 per cent of our roster returning which is good,” said Galati. “The playoffs gives them that much more experience. We’re excited for sure.” 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 • Ma r c h 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 18 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Hockey Durham West Jr. Lightning eliminate Oakville OAKVILLE -- It took a little longer than they might have expected, including an overtime, but the Durham West Jr. Lightning prevailed in their playoff series against the Oakville Hornets. After opening the Provincial Women’s Hockey League series with home ice wins of 3-0 and 4-3, the Lightning travelled to Oakville for the next two games of the best- of-five series over the weekend. They were given a rude welcome in Game 3, doubled 4-2, and then were forced to overtime of Game 4 before pulling it out 4-3. Katrina Manoukarakis provided the hero- ics for the Lightning on Sunday, scoring on the power play 4:25 into the extra frame on a setup up from Kennedy Marchment and Megan Quinn. The Lightning also got goals from Becki Bowering, Marchment and Emily Jukosky, trailing 3-2 after the first period, but tying it early in the third. The series was pushed to a fourth game after the Lightning came up short in a 4-2 loss on Friday night, goals coming from Man- oukarakis and Marchment. The Lightning were behind 3-1 after the first period and 4-1 after two. The league will now take a break until the Final 8 championship weekend in Oakville the weekend of April 3-6. Some players from the league will be representing Canada at the women’s U18 world championships in Budapest, Hungary from March 23-30.

The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section.

It came at the right time, too. Against Father Leo Austin in the LOSSA AAAA final, it took quadruple overtime of the third and deciding game, but St. Mary prevailed 2-1, winning the best-of-three series two games to one. “We went into the year thinking that we had the makings of a team that could win, but it took a long while for it to develop and come together and have everybody come on board,” said head coach Mike Dion. “They were finally able to do that in the playoffs and go on a nice run which we knew they were capable of doing.” After finishing fourth with a 6-4-0 record in the regular season, St. Mary beat McLaugh- lin in the quarter-finals, then upset first- place Pickering by holding them scoreless in the semifinals by scores of 5-0 and 3-0. After dropping the opener of the final against Aus- tin 3-2, St. Mary squared the series with a 5-2 win, extending the series to a third game. It was the seventh LOSSA title under the direction of Dion, who has built a program of success over the years. “We know what it takes to get a group of high school students to buy in and get on board with the program,” he said. “This group took a longer time to get them all to buy in. “That seems to be the key to our success. Putting commitment on the kids. Making the onus on them and not their parents. Making them responsible and passing ownership of the team on to them. Once they take own- ership of the team, then they are capable of doing good things.” This year’s edition is led by captain Zack Fisher, Noah Faigal and defencemen Nolan Smith and Chris Ludwinski, who will be looking for gold at this year’s OFSAA provin- cial championships in Burlington/Oakville from March 18-21. The best previous result in seven trips to OFSAA has been bronze for St. Mary, who have been seeded second in the 20-team tournament. “We’re going for the whole thing,” said Dion of expectations. “That’s what we start- ed at the beginning of the season as our goal, so that’s what we’re aiming for.” St. Mary has been placed in a pool with eighth-seeded St. Michael’s, St. Thomas of Villanova (No. 11), Sacred Heart (No. 14) and Confederation (No. 19). PICKERING -- Austin’s Giorgio Nicastro and St. Mary’s Nolan Smith battled for the puck in LOSSA boys’ final action at the Don Beer Arena. St. Mary won 2-1.

Sale Managed and Sold by: NEIL BACON AUCTIONS LTD. 905-985-1068 Dr. Jan Willem (Bill) Bosch passed away on March 5, 2014 at the age of 97 following complications from a stroke. He was surrounded by family members. A small service was held on March 8, 2014. Burial took place at Salem Cemetery, Ajax. He was born on June 13, 1916 to Dutch parents in Asunción, Paraguay. The family returned to the Netherlands in 1925 where he received his education. He studied medicine at Leiden University. During World War II, he played what he claimed to be a minor role with the Dutch student resistance. He never wished to elaborate, however, one small example was that he assisted downed English fighter pilots to escape from behind enemy lines. As a Dutchman, he experienced the near starvation of the Hunger Winter of 1944 which affected all of Western Holland. Following the war, he participated in a Red Cross-repatriation mission in Czechoslovakia and Poland in search of Dutch nationals who had ended up as displaced persons — forced labourers, imprisoned resistance fighters and surviving Jews. From 1947-1950, he was conscripted to serve as a Dutch Army medical officer in the jungles of Sumatra – an area which was formerly the Dutch East Indies. At the end of his service, he was recommended for decoration by his commanding officer for his personal initiatives. Unusual and extraordinary for a simple medical officer. At that same time, he was thanked by his ‘enemy’, his Indonesian medical counterpart and local authorities for his passion and dedication to provide medical care to the local population during this period of armed conflict. He was an innovative thinker and a humanitarian — this was before it became a calculated strategy to try to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of the ‘enemy’. If questioned about this period, he would explain that this had been the most significant time of his life as a doctor. He immigrated with his wife Yvonne and baby son Matthew in 1952. After one year in Kingston, Ontario, they made the small town of Ajax their home. Living in Canada for 61 years, he did not hesitate to say that he wanted to be buried in Canadian soil — his adopted country. He worked for 40 years as a general physician and anesthesiologist until his retirement in 1991, at the age of 75. He had an inquisitive mind, read voraciously and had a broad range of interests. He had an affinity for the land. During his free time, he planted thousands of trees which he hoped would produce harvestable lumber for his grandchildren enjoy. He was the embodiment of a man who would embrace the proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” He loved his vegetable garden, a hearty meal and a fine cigar. For many years, he was an active member of the Rotary Club of Ajax. He welcomed numerous international exchange students into his home and participated in various fund-raising initiatives. After spending his life in selfless service to others, he died in the hospital where he had been a founding physician, the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital. Predeceased by son Matthew, he is survived by his wife Yvonne, children Renée, Lou, Derek, Nicole and Julie. He is also survived by his grandchildren Jacqueline, Ryan, Jan Willem, Annacy, Aleisha, Erika, Marieke, Leif, Nicholas and Erik. The Bosch family is planning on holding a remembrance service in June. Details will follow. If so desired, in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
