Garbage bag tags are affixed to any additional bags over the limit eligible for curbside pickup. The price will be raised from $1.50 per tag to $2.50 per tag. The price increase encourages resi- dents to reduce waste by participating in the Durham Region’s blue box recycling and green bin composting programs. Residents of Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Pickering, Scugog and Uxbridge currently receiving the Region’s curbside collection services will be affected by the change. Oshawa and Whitby are unaffected, as the Region does not collect waste in those communities.

Pickering group says funding report ‘politically motivated’ Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A long-awaited report on funding for Pickering community groups was finally unveiled this week. Last year Pickering council directed City staff to review how grants and facility use are allotted to community associations, with an eye to providing a more balanced approach. The report was expected to come to coun- cil in the fall. City CAO Tony Prevedel says the delay stemmed from the “complexity” of the issue. The lengthy document contains many rec- ommendations. Most of them relate to formalizing lease and facility agreements between the City and dozens of groups, ranging from tennis clubs that use City courts to community associa- tions that maintain City owned buildings in exchange for free use. For example, some groups currently have verbal agreements with the City, and the report recommends those now become written. It also recommends a new draft commu- nity grant policy, which would require com- munity groups to submit an application for financial support. "This provides an equal and equitable plat- form for organizations to make a request," said Marisa Carpino, the City's director of culture and recreation. "It's a way to struc- ture things more formally." The plan is for City staff to ensure appli- cants meet the criteria, then pass appli- cations along to council for approval in advance of each year's budget process. One community group is voicing concerns about the report. On April 14 Keith Falconer, president of the Pickering East Shore Community Associa- tion, told council’s executive committee that the report is “unacceptable,” alleging that it discriminates against his organization. “Our organization was the only one to lose funding...you tell me what’s not discrimina- tory about that,” he said. PESCA is a long-standing community group that offers volunteer-run programs such as badminton, volleyball and euchre for residents of the Bay Ridges area. The group was the subject of controver- sy last year when residents raised concerns about a lack of transparency within the group, and council voted to cancel PESCA’s funding agreement with the City. PESCA had previously benefitted from rental revenue from the East Shore Com- munity Centre, bringing in about $24,000 in 2012. The new City report recommends that PESCA be given free meeting room space, but nothing else. In contrast, it recommends all other groups maintain their current funding or lease agreements with the City. Mr. Falconer described the doc- ument as “politically motivated. “We have done everything above board and this is the treatment we receive,” he told committee. Councillor Doug Dickerson agreed, calling the treatment of PESCA a “crippling blow” and echoing allegations of “political interfer- ence.” However, Councillor Bill McLean argued it’s valid to scrutinize how a group operates, when it is using City resources. Pickering council will vote on the report at its April 22 meeting. 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 • Ap r i l 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 4 P We have a winner. 545 Slots • 60 Table Games www.greatblueheroncasino.com Port Perry, ON Must be 19 years of age or older to participate.Valid government issued photo identification may be required.

The nest was first noticed five days ago but has grown substantially in size as the male and female use grass, twigs and mud to build it up. The plump female can often be seen on the ground nearby or sitting on the nest. There are no eggs in the nest yet. Metroland photo Spring brings a robin’s nest to watch DURHAM -- It’s a sure sign of spring: the robins are back and building their nests. We have mounted a remote camera at a home in Durham Region from which we arestream- ing live video of a robin nest as the pair of birds prepare for the arrival of their clutch. Once the female lays her eggs she will incubate them for about 14 days. The hatchlings, typically three or four, will need another 15 days to mature before they leave the nest. The live feed will broad- cast during daytime hours and we will have daily updates on the happenings in the nest. You can join the conversa- tion by tweeting your comments and robin facts using the hashtag #robins2014. We will feature a selection of the tweets on our website. See the nest at durhamregion. com.

After all, fairness and a set criteria for eval- uating requests should be the basis upon which groups' requests are evaluated. Pickering council members on Monday had a look at a report and draft policy cre- ated by staff. Councillors last year called for the report to review how grants and the use of facilities are distributed to community associations. And the goal from day one was to provide a more balanced approach. As Councillor Jennifer O'Connell noted at the meeting, the City at present does not have a standardized policy on which staff and councillors can rely. It has led to a piecemeal approach, something that should be avoided, especially when it’s about non-profit groups that do so much to enhance the lives of Pickering residents. The report has several recommendations, many related to formalizing lease and facil- ity agreements between Pickering and local groups. It's almost unfathomable to con- sider that some of the groups have verbal agreements with the City. There was a time when a handshake sealed a deal, but it is long past and the report's recommendation that agreements be in writing is sensible. A key part of the overhaul would be a new community grant policy, which would require community groups to submit an application for financial support. Grants would only be available to community asso- ciations, service clubs or sports groups that are not-for-profit, serve in whole or in part the residents of Pickering and has at least 80 per cent of its members living in the city. The application is an obvious starting point, enabling City staff to weed out ineligi- ble applicants. Again, a level playing field is what's required and the application is a big part of that. As for who's eligible, the criteria of not- for-profit local groups mostly made up of Pickering residents serving other Pickering residents is on the mark. The report recommends that the Pickering East Shore Community Associa- tion be given free meeting room space, but nothing else. However it recommends all other groups maintain their current funding or lease agreements with the City. That had PESCA president Keith Falcon- er crying foul at the meeting, charging the group was being singled out. We can only reiterate that all groups need to be treated in the same manner. Pickering council must approve this draft policy at its April 22 meeting. Be careful what you wish for To the editor: Re: ‘All motorists should be subject to law’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, April 3, 2014. Firstly, the Highway Traffic Act under sec- tion 9 and 10 exempts police (and other law enforcement officers) as well as fire depart- ment personnel from the Display Devices and Hand Held Devices legislation. It does not apply to EMS (emergency medical ser- vices) personnel. The letter writer states that as a “motor- cycle rider” he feels that the law should be changed to include these ‘ordinary’ peo- ple which makes absolutely no difference to his plea. These ‘extraordinary’ people refer to motorcycle riders as ‘organ donors’. Although most of their recorded commu- nications are via vehicle-equipped radi- os, there is much more information they must receive, transmit or relay in relation to their duties. This information is sometimes transmitted via their own personal cell/ smartphones at their own cost, which is not tax deductible. The HTA applies equally to everyone in every respect. So, when someone calls 911 for emer- gency assistance, let’s hope these ‘ordi- nary people’ abide by the law and travel the speed limit, stop at all stop lights/signs and obey all other laws for which they may be charged should anything happen. God bless them. Richard Carter, Pickering Test in Quebec, qualify in Ontario To the editor: I am a local businesswoman in Pickering. I’m proud to sell life insurance. I am proud to meet the high standards set in Ontario. I am proud to help families obtain the pro- tection they need. Our regulator is looking to replace our made-for-Ontario qualifications with new testing designed in Quebec. The new Que- bec tests will be more complicated and more expensive but will not enhance con- sumer protection. Ontario’s testing for life insurance agents is already the best in the country. Why are we sending jobs and money to Quebec? The new exam will decrease the focus on basic life insurance and put more weight on taxation and legal concepts. The cost of sitting for the exam will be at Quebec pric- es because the regulators outsourced the program. Why has there been no public consulta- tions on this? Where is the transparency? Why are we going to pay the Quebec gov- ernment for a service that could very well have been handled by the private sector? Many won’t qualify to sell life insurance, all because they lack the time or resources to take a test designed for financial plan- ners in downtown Montreal. Government needs to realize it is wrong to put work out of reach for those who need the money, especially in this economy. Mary Susan Lyttle, Pickering 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 • Ap r i l 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP A final goodbye to Jim Flaherty State funeral held at Toronto’s St. James Cathedral Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- It was a sea of green at St. James Cathedral as mourners gathered to say final goodbyes to Jim Flaherty. As people streamed into St. James Cathedral on Church Street in Toronto it was at first to the sound of a lone busker playing Amazing Grace on a recorder. The sound would grow to the peeling of bells as the Toronto Anglican church prepared to host the state funeral for Mr. Flaherty, a rare honour bestowed on cab- inet ministers, prime ministers and other esteemed Canadians. Many entering the sand-coloured stone cathedral with its towering spires sport- ed a pop of green, perhaps on a tie or a hair accessory. Upon entering, mourn- ers donned emerald scarves in honour of a man who was always proud of his Irish heritage. Those in attendance included nation- al, provincial and local political leaders, including two former prime ministers and the Governor General. Prime Minister Stephen Harper entered hand-in-hand with his wife Laureen, fol- lowed by members of the Flaherty family. Mr. Flaherty’s widow, MPP Christine Elliott, was flanked by her triplet sons Galen, Quinn and John, the foursome pausing to bow their heads in brief prayer after sitting down. And then the sound of a lone bagpiper as Mr. Flaherty’s casket arrived outside the cathedral, to be borne on the shoul- ders of RCMP officers up the cathedral steps as Toronto Police and OPP officers saluted. The choir filled the building with the soaring sounds of William Croft’s The Burial Sentences as Mr. Flaherty’s casket was brought to the front of the church. The prime minister led the tributes to the former finance minister, followed by sister Norah Flaherty and finally Mr. Fla- herty’s sons and widow. To the public, he was an Ontario cabi- net minister and the finance minister who steadily guided Canada through the largest global financial crisis faced in recent times. To his family, he was a loving father and a mentor to the 50-plus members of the Flaherty clan. It was a heartwrenching moment as “the boys” as Mr. Flaherty always called them, stood and shared the life lessons they’d learned from their father. Quinn Flaherty spoke of a father who taught him the importance of friendship, family, faith and love, and that sacrificing time for others is an honour. “Dad, I love you, we love you; put your feet up, lay your head back, close your eyes and relax, we will take it from here,” he said. Galen Flaherty called his father his hero and said Mr. Flaherty would always tell his sons when they could do better and would let them know he was proud when they did their best. “At the end of the day, he was my father because he showed me what it takes to be a man and he gave me an example I will aspire to for the rest of my life,” he said. Ms. Elliott said her husband was the most intelligent man she had ever met and noted the special relationship he shared with their son John, who she said knew him best. “John, Galen and Quinn, your father loved you completely,” she said. It was Mr. Harper who remembered him for his contributions to the nation as whole, recalling the beginning of their political journey at a lunch meeting in 2005 where Mr. Flaherty expressed inter- est in moving from provincial to federal politics. Back then, the prime minister said he suspected his party would win the next election and welcomed Mr. Flaherty’s abilities and experience. He was appoint- ed finance minister and so it went for the next eight years, through the financial crisis. Though the two shared an ideo- logical viewpoint, when it came to the details Mr. Flaherty, said the prime min- ister, was always prepared to fight for his opinion. “While, at one time, Canada was no bet- ter than middle of the pack, today in an uncertain world, Canada will have a bal- anced budget years ahead of others, with low debt and low taxes, and is recognized to be the best managed major developed economy,” said Mr. Harper. “That, my friends, is Jim Flaherty’s legacy for this country.” The prime minister shared that Mr. Fla- herty had been thinking of retiring since 2010, but he worried about the state of the global economy and the fact that the books were still not balanced and kept staying on for one more year and then another and then another. With a balanced budget on the horizon, Mr. Harper said he knew Mr. Flaherty was ready to retire. A month ago he accepted his resignation and the news of Mr. Fla- herty’s resignation brought numerous tributes. “Little did we know that we would be here today, with that future torn from him, and for us to deliver more profound reflections,” said the prime minister. “I told Jim that the meeting back in 2005 had been one of the best decisions of my political career, one of the most impor- tant for this government, and one of the most meaningful ever for our country,” he added. Mr. Harper saved his final words for Mr. Flaherty’s three sons, recalling how he felt when his own father died. “You are not ‘the boys’ any longer,” he said. “You are young men. Hold on to your mother and to your father’s lessons, and know that there are many here and beyond who are there for you.” Dressed in black amid the sea of green, Ms. Elliott leaned on her sons when she couldn’t hold back her tears. Her final task was to accept the flag that had draped her husband’s casket, care- fully folded by the RCMP and put into her hands by the prime minister. And from the public standing outside the cathedral, there came a round of applause as the funeral procession pre- pared to leave. It was one last thank you to a man who, as one mourner said, marked his country and marked his times. For more photos from the funeral, go to durhamregion.com. TORONTO -- RCMP officers carried Jim Flaherty’s casket out of St. James Cathedral at the end of his state funeral on April 16. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Durham residents urged to play it safe with Easter eggs The dangers of decorating eggs DURHAM -- Dying eggs for Easter is an enjoyable, traditional and communal activity to enjoy with family. However, it is not always safe. According to Health Canada, eggs could carry salmonella and although the bacteria is not common in Canadi- an eggs, some people are more suscep- tible than others, particularly pregnant women, young children, the elderly and those with a weak immune system. Michelle Martin, a public health inspector in Port Perry with the Dur- ham Region Health Department, says that young children could be at risk more than others as they might be dis- tracted by the decorative eggs. “I think you need to be especially care- ful around children. They see pretty colours and they want to eat them,” said Ms. Martin. “You have to be careful and make sure they know the distinction between what’s decoration and what’s for dinner.” An estimated four million Canadians experience food-related illness each year. While the risk of getting food poi- soning from eggs is real, it is easily reduced by properly handling and pre- paring them. The first step to avoiding egg-related illness is to shop carefully. Make sure the eggs are refrigerated and open them up to be sure there aren’t any cracks on any of the eggs. Check the best before date and be wary of buying eggs at farms or farmers’ mar- kets. Eggs sold outside of grocery stores are ungraded and therefore not subject to safety standards that prevent salmo- nella contamination, Health Canada says. Eggs should be refrigerated at home and should not be left at room tempera- ture for more than two hours. They should be in the coldest part of the fridge and left in the original con- tainer to protect them from damage and odours. Hard-cooked eggs can be kept refrigerated, sealed or pickled, for up to one week. Handling raw and cooked eggs is simi- lar to handling raw meat. Hands, surfaces and utensils need to be washed before and after handling the eggs to avoid cross-contamination. It’s important to note that the risk of salmonella infection lies with raw eggs, which is why they need to be cooked thoroughly so that they are safe to eat. Things like cookie dough, which has raw eggs mixed in, shouldn’t be eaten until after it is cooked, tempting as it may be. Decorated eggs that are left on display are not safe to eat. If they are to be eaten, they must be hard-boiled, cooled before refrigeration and decorated with non-toxic dye. Again, the eggs need to be refrigerated before and after decoration and can be left out for no more than two hours. While decorating eggs is fun, it cannot distract from the importance of food safe- ty and the possibility of food poisoning, Health Canada says. 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 • Ap r i l 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 8 AP On Now at The Brick!

Leeanna McLean Videographer Videos @ durhamregion.com UOIT awarded new Canada Research Chair valued at $500,000 Professor works to address ‘information overload’ OSHAWA -- The University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s research port- folio is expanding with the announce- ment of a new Canada Research Chair to Dr. Christopher Collins, an assistant professor in the faculty of science. The CRC program invests around $265 million per year to attract and retain some of the world’s most accomplished and promising minds. Funding for each CRC is valued at $500,000 over five years. Dr. Collins’s CRC in linguistic information visualization will help his research team address issues surround- ing society’s growing challenge with ‘information overload.’ Dr. Collins, who leads UOIT’s visual- ization for information analysis labora- tory, explained the average office work- er spends 2.6 hours a day reading and sending e-mails. “Add in traditional news feeds and social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to see why so many of us feel overwhelmed by information,” he said. “Yet within the daily ebb and flow of that information are millions of pieces of economically and culturally significant text- b a s e d d a t a . T h e chal- lenge lies in finding innovative ways to sort, analyze and gain insight on these data.” For example, a doctor could use a ges- ture-based application to sort through large volumes of medical text with a simple swipe of a hand, or a marketing professional could use a digital white- board to determine what customers really think by sorting and exploring taweets based on emotion. Through the use of interactive infor- mation graphics and automated lan- guage analysis tools, Dr. Collins will work to make scenarios like this a real- ity, and to forge new connections between business and academic com- munities. The renewal of another CRC, first awarded in 2009 to Dr. Dan Zhang, a pro- fessor in the faculty of engineering and applied science, was also announced. Dr. Zhang’s chair renewal in advanced robotics and automation will enable him to continue developing the next generation of industrial robotics: inno- vations that help to perform tasks faster, more accurately and with greater adapt- ability to changing work assignment and conditions. Steelheads have big plans for Easter Spring fever is infecting a lot more than birds and bunnies this week. There’s a whole pandemic spreading through our rivers and creeks. As ice melts and waters warm, the local rainbow trout go crazy, fixating on one thing and one thing only: swimming upstream to spawn. Watch- ing these magnificent silvery fish fight through rapids and over ledges to reach the gravel beds where they lay and fer- tilize their eggs is a fascinating rite of spring. Our wild Lake Ontario steelhead, a rainbow trout that spawn in streams and return to the great freshwater ‘sea’ as adults, are descended from Pacific stock introduced a century ago. Bob Mckenzie, a friend of mine from Courtice, promised he’d give me a heads- up when the steelhead were running so I could get over to Bowmanville Creek to watch them leaping up the new fish lad- der, just south of Hwy. 2. We made a date to rendezvous there last Sunday, but heavy rains Saturday filled the creek with silty runoff, making it hard to see the big fish even if they decided to fight onward in the churning flood conditions. Most would be biding their time in eddies and pools, waiting for clearer water and calmer currents -- likely after the cold snap midweek, Bob figured. So we decided to check out the Ganara- ska River in the meantime, another wonderful steelhead stream, running through Port Hope. Bob and many fish- ermen friends have put in lots of work protecting and enhancing fish habi- tat in the area. We dropped in first at the Thomeys’ farm on Dale Road east of Welcome, where Dan and Jean were busily boiling sap from their sugar bush along the river, as they have every spring since 1981. When I stepped into their shed, breathed in the sweet-smelling steam and saw all the bottles of fresh syrup lined up for sale I was swept back in time to my own years of syrup making, a lot of work but a great excuse to get out of the city and greet the arrival of spring. There was even a phoebe nest tucked up under an eave, like there always was at our sugar bush. I found visiting with the Thomeys as much a delight as walk- ing down the lane alongside the racing, churning Ganaraska. We finally drove on down Hwy. 28 to Port Hope to see the fish ladder over a tall weir on the river just south of Hwy. 401. An electronic counter indicated that 633 steelhead had already gone by that week, and several visitors were climb- ing the steps and peering over the sides, hoping to see steelhead moving in the murky depths. I was thrilled to see one splash its way up the first step of the lad- der. And I’m looking forward to visit- ing the new Bowmanville fishway at the peak of the run, which Bob thinks may happen Easter weekend. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks. net or 905-725-2116. Team Chelsea continues to reunite lost Durham pets with owners It’s been more than three years since a senior’s sole companion, a Bernese Mountain Dog name Chelsea, went missing in Whitby. While Chelsea hasn’t been found, a small group that started searching for the beautiful dog has turned into a large team of dedicated volunteers that has reunited 859 lost pets with their owners as of March 31. The story of Chelsea was one that tore at a lot of heart strings. Her 79-year-old owner, who has since died, was about to visit her daughter overseas when Chelsea went missing from a dog day- care in Whitby. Volunteers searched tirelessly for Chel- sea, posted numerous photos around Durham, and received plenty of phone calls about sightings from the public, but to no avail. But on their searches, volunteers stum- bled upon loose, lost and injured pets and wildlife -- everything from cats and dogs to ducks and goats -- and realized the group could be something more than a team searching for just one dog. “You have volunteers looking for one, and I don’t think a day goes by when you don’t find one crossing your path,” said volunteer Deborah. Deborah joined the group about a year ago. She takes care of the social network- ing of the group, especially Facebook. Team Chelsea has a big presence on Facebook, and is the local go-to page for people hoping to find lost pets. The page posts and cross-posts photos of missing pets in the area, and volunteers physi- cally search for them. They also stumble across loose ani- mals and will do their best to find the owner. “Our No. 1 priority is to reunite lost pets with their original owners,” said Deborah. They place ads in local papers; they contact veterinary clinics, groomers, dog walkers and cross-post on numerous Facebook sites. But there are occasions when a pet isn’t claimed by its owner. “We leave no stone unturned when try- ing to locate the family of a lost pet, but have also come to learn not all owners search for their pet,” said Deborah. After about a month, Team Chelsea puts the pet up for adoption. One pet that they came across -- of three that are currently in the care of Team Chelsea -- is a dog they named Willow, which was found in Whitby on April 2. She’s a terrier mix, around three to five years old and weighs 13 pounds. She is friendly with other dogs and no one has claimed her yet. Although Team Chelsea still hopes the owners will come forward, if she isn’t claimed in the next week or two, she will be up for adoption. If people see a pet that they believe is lost, Deborah encourages them to con- tain the animal if they can and take it to a veterinary clinic to see if it has a micro- chip. If they can’t contain the pet, they can call Team Chelsea at 905-666-4676 or their municipality’s local animal ser- vices. Deborah also wanted to let the public know that Team Chelsea is an option for people who are looking to adopt a pet.

Babak Navarchi pleaded guilty in an Oshawa court to fraud as well as several charges under the Consumer Protection Act in late March. Ontario Court Justice Don- ald Halikowski sentenced him to more than five months in jail and ordered him to pay $57,000 to 33 defrauded customers. Court heard that since 2009 the victims had entered into agreements with a com- pany called Mr. Tankless to rent water heat- ers, furnaces and air conditioning units. Cus- tomers were attracted by offers of free water softeners and government rebates, and handed over voided cheques on the grounds they were to be used for credit approval. Victims’ signatures were forged on applica- tions for loans to pay for the products they’d bought from Mr. Tankless, court heard. Sign- ing on behalf of the company was a Frank Piroozi, a known alias of Mr. Navarchi. Victims, some of them seniors, were tar- geted in a number of communities including Whitby, court heard. The scam came to light when customers, concerned they had not received the prod- ucts they purchased, tried unsuccessfully to contact the company. In addition to the Consumer Protection Act charges, Justice Halikowski found Mr. Navarchi guilty of fraud over $5,000. 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 • Ap r i l 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 13 AP CUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESK 905-683-0887 • 416-984-4332 • 905-655-0601 Visit Arnts The Landscape Supplier 4400 Halls Road at Lakeridge and Taunton (The edge of the Ajax-Whitby border) www.arntstopsoil.com Create your perfect outdoor space Free DIY seminar Sat April 26th 10:00am rain or shine Tim Hortons would like to thank you for putting litter where it belongs.Together we can all do our part to keep our community clean.To find out what we’re doing for the environment,visit timhortons.com It’s in your hands. ©Tim Hortons,2013 With Better Go Getter we make shopping simple!

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. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

But before you starting putting on new outerwear, you want to make sure that you have the right underwear! J’Adore Intimates has just opened in Pearson Lanes in downtown Whitby. Formerly Audrey Jane’s, the store is now under new ownership. Customers will notice that J’Adore offers an even greater selection of bras, ranging in back size from 30 to 48 and cup sizes from A to J. Over 80 per cent of women are wearing the wrong size bra. If you are one of the majority, you likely have straps that are sliding down your shoulder, backs that are riding up, cups that are puckering, or just a general feeling of being uncomfortable. In addition to discomfort, wearing the wrong size bra can make your clothes not look right. Wearing the right size bra can actually make you look slimmer, as it will lift your breasts, making your waist appear longer. That’s why it’s so important to have yourself fitted for a bra on a regular basis. Women’s bodies are always changing, so the size you were two years ago, may not be the size you are anymore. At J’Adore, their professional staff can determine your proper size in about 20 minutes. Once you have the proper size, you can find the perfect bra from their incredible collection. Their staff can help you find the right bra, both the right size and ones that are best suited for your lifestyle. J’Adore carries many European lines, including Chantelle and Prima Donna, both for their full range of sizes, but also for their outstanding construction. As the warmer weather nears, it’s also time for a new swimsuit. J’Adore has bathing suits that are sized by cup size, ensuring a better, more comfortable fit. Choose from one- pieces, two-pieces, traditional and more trendy styles. J’Adore Intimates also has matching panties, seamless underwear, thongs, sleepwear, lingerie and hosiery. Invites you to our Chantelle Bra Fitting Event on Thursday, April 24 from 10am - 7pm Please phone or email for an appointment. info@jadoreintimates.com 135 Byron St. North, Whitby 905.430.0647 • www.jadoreintimates.com J’Adore Intimates is located at 135 Byron Street North in Whitby (in Pearson Lanes).

And while there are a lot of places in west Durham where you can get a coffee, Debbie’s Boutique Cafe isn’t your typical spot. The European-inspired cafe offers a selection of organic and direct trade cof- fee, loose leaf tea, exotic smoothies and homemade desserts. And from the time it opened there’s been live music. But it’s mainly the vibe at Debbie’s that makes it unique. It’s a cozy space with couches at the back and bookshelves with books and games. Several local groups meet there and you can often see local art on the walls. However if you’re starting to think Deb- bie’s is kind of upscale snooty, you’re way off base: owner Debbie Douglas-Werner and her staff members know repeat visi- tors as soon as they come in -- and they are not rushed out the door. “You don’t just come and get a coffee and go,” she says. “We want to know how you’re doing. “We call it the Debbie experience.” Originally from Trinidad, Douglas-Wer- ner has fond memories of her grandmoth- er’s “parlour” back home, a little bake shop where everything was made from scratch. “I always thought, ‘I want to do that’,” she says. So, after living in Whitby, Toronto and Europe, it was an easy decision to set up shop in Ajax. “We wanted to move to Ajax because it’s a little gem,” she says, noting it’s close to Lake Ontario and Toronto. And while the Harwood Plaza has seen better days, choosing that location was another no-brainer for Douglas-Werner. “I wanted the core; this is the heart of Ajax,” she says. You can miss Debbie’s if you don’t know where it is, but most of the customers hear about it from other area residents, with Douglas-Werner noting 75 per cent of the customers are locals ages 30s to 50s. Ajax High School students have discov- ered Debbie’s and it generates quite a bit of Facebook buzz, with Douglas-Werner sometimes connecting with people online before meeting them in person. “Lunch time here is crazy,” she notes. On a recent night, new Ajacian and multi-instrumentalist Arun Pal performed. Most of the musicians are customers from Ajax or with Durham connections. “They find us,” Douglas-Werner says. “It’s not like a paid gig. They like to play for us.” Pal says he’s been recording his music and that of other musicians a lot lately and it’s a rare opportunity to play a solo gig. And he’s unique himself, playing key- boards, percussion and guitar and sing- ing. Mixing up originals and covers, when he plays Crowded House’s Don’t Dream It’s Over, Pal jokingly claims it as his own tune. “Do you know it? I wrote it,” he says. Stay tuned for a future story on Pal and his music. Live music is another feature that makes Debbie’s different -- a comfortable place to relax for a while and put aside our busy lives. “We try to make it as homey as possible,” Douglas-Werner says. “We want you to come back.” Debbie’s is at 94 Harwood Ave. S., just south of Hwy. 401 and opposite the Town Hall. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday and some Sunday afternoons. Visit the website, debbiescafe.ca and check out the Facebook page. AJAX -- Debbie Douglas-Werner is the owner of Debbie’s Cafe.

It wasn’t the colour they would have pre- ferred to play for, nor the result they would have wished for in trying to defend their title. After four wins in a row, including three by shutout, the Lightning reached the semi- finals, losing 3-2 to eventual champion Mis- sissauga. Relegated to the bronze medal game, the Lightning were doubled 4-2 by Nepean. It was a tough tournament to get moti- vated for, considering just the weekend before, the Lightning competed in the Pro- vincial Women’s Hockey League champi- onship tournament, considered the most important by teams in the league. “The trickiest thing about provincials is the timing of it,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy. “You play in that (PWHL champion- ship) and it ends all of a sudden, and then you have to try and find the energy to come back and do it all over again and that’s really hard. “It’s a testament to the girls. They found their legs and were ready mentally to defend the title.” The Lightning came out of the chute charging hard in defence of the title they won at provincials in 2013, blanking Bluewa- ter 3-0, Southwest 4-0 and Burlington 3-0 in pool play. They finally allowed a goal in the quarter-finals, but managed to double Blue- water 2-1. The string of wins came to an end in the semifinals, edged 3-2 by Mississauga, pushing the Lightning into the bronze medal game against Nepean. Overall, Murphy pointed out a number of highlights to the season, including the 26-6-2-4 regular season record that was good enough for fifth, challenging franchise records for wins and points. In showcase events, the Lightning posted a 10-1-1 mark. Most impressive, and importantly, the hock- ey club is graduating 10 players to a higher level next season, whether NCAA or Cana- dian universities. “This team, a lot of people counted them out early,” said Murphy. “In our league, if you’re doing your job, you typically lose your best players every year and have to retool. “They proved a lot of people wrong. In a lot of ways, they overachieved. We’re cer- tainly proud of them and it was definitely a very successful year overall.” Runners return to Boston Marathon It’s been a year since terrorist attack on the historic event Luke Callebert lcallebert@durhamregion.com DURHAM – Patriots’ Day, April 15, 2013. The unthinkable happened. Images of a typical Boston street looked more like those we’re used to seeing from the streets of Baghdad during the Iraq war. Bombs had exploded made from pressure cook- ers, filled with nails, bits of metal and ball bearings meant to inflict harm. Three peo- ple died in the terror attack, including an eight-year old child and the lives of hun- dreds changed forever in an instant. The world was shrunk to the size of the finish line as people around the world tried to find out if loved ones were injured. With more than 30 runners in the race, Durham Region was no exception. There’s no way to sugarcoat people dying or losing limbs. Life for those family and victims will never be the same -- the search for normalcy, never ending. From the trag- edy came the stories of perseverance, the good in humanity and the coming together of people to overcome an evil deed. The world saw the good that can come from sport, the healing it can help pro- vide. When terrorist attacks occur, life gets postponed. Everything stops, like the world holds its collective breath. It’s a sign of returning to standard when events like baseball and hockey games come back. They’re a communal gathering. Now, a little over one year later, Durham residents who were there have the chance to head back to Boston when the 118th Boston Marathon is held on April 21. For Newcastle resident Robin Rickard, the choice was easy. This will be her sixth Boston Marathon. Last year, she did not get to finish the race, but made it through the halfway mark. Early registration was offered to runners in her position and she took advantage of the offer. She’s not afraid to be returning to Boston. “I think it’s familiar to me,” said Rick- ard. “I have some very positive memories there, as well as the devastation that hap- pened last year. I think for me, I was about to round the corner to come onto the street where the bombings took place, I didn’t get to see any of that. “For me it’s not about the destination, it’s the journey to get there. You know any- thing can happen, because you can’t con- trol 26.2 miles, but you can’t live your life in fear, you still have to go forward.” John Houston of Oshawa will be going forward. Last year, for the first time in 26 years, he was not in the marathon. Hous- ton now has arthritis and can no longer run. He had a spectator spot near the finish line but left with his wife before the explo- sions. He will return to the spot again this year. “It was a tradition to go to Boston for so many years,” said Houston. “I want to still go down and take part in the experience.” His only fear is that security is going to be so high that it might actually restrict his usual movements. The Durham runner who was about as close as possible to the explosions will not be returning to Boston. Ajax native Liane Barber finished her marathon last year at four hours and three minutes. She was about 200 metres past the finish line when, at 4:09, six minutes after she finished, the explosions went off. Fear is not the reason she will not be returning to Boston, though. She did not qualify this year, as her age category changed and she missed by less than 10 minutes. DURHAM -- Robin Rickard will be going back to run the Boston Marathon this year after she did not get to complete her race because of the bombing in 2013.
