Mistakes,she said,aren’t fatal,as long as you can learn from them.“For me,having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up,dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains,I’ve learned at the end of the day,you have to be able to look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re helping the company,figure out where you’re not helping the company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,”she said.“That’s an old saying,but it’s a very true one.” “Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed,so if you believe in something you have to stick to it.You have to be resilient,”said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection. Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient,an Honourary Captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University,Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Tired of extensive travel and being forced to spend a lot of time away from his family,Jason took the leap,leased office space close to home,bought a whiteboard and desk,started brainstorming and built 360incentives.360incentives now has over 100 employees,offices in Whitby,the United States and the United Kingdom and was named the Best Workplace in Canada in 2014. Jason will be discussing his business philosophy,which is grounded in workplace happiness and having a strong commitment to the community.From the start,he wanted to provide an unbelievable experience for his customers,an unbelievable workplace for his team and to make a difference in the world. Jason strongly believes that employees who are happy at work will spread that positive feeling to customers,creating customers for life.When the company earned its first profit,they built a well in Rwanda,and they continue to make a difference in the world.

Natural and rural areas of the water- shed, comprising roughly two-thirds of the land base, are protected under selected provincial initiatives. The name “Petticoat” is a clue to the human heritage of the area. The City of Pickering notes it as a variation on the term “Petite Cote”, used by French set- tlers in the 1600s in reference to the creek mouth, where one bank is quite high, and the other side low and flat. The watercourse likely had many previ- ous names, given its history of aboriginal settlement over the last 4,000 years by Huron and Iroquois peoples. One of the best trails in the area is the Waterfront Trail within Petticoat Creek Conservation Area which is located on the shore of Lake Ontario. The Water- front Trail running through Petticoat Creek Conservation Area is part of the 730-kilometre Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail extending from Niagara-on-the- Lake to the Ontario-Quebec border on the St. Lawrence. The Waterfront Trail within Petticoat Creek offers some of the most panoram- ic views in southern Ontario. If you are visiting make sure you stop at the Water- front Trail bridge that crosses the creek for a beautiful view of the conservation area. Visitors can enjoy incredible views of Lake Ontario from the top of the bluffs. This is the perfect spot to visit in the summer to enjoy the mild breezes off Lake Ontar- io. The conservation area is home to 69 types of trees and 40 bird varieties. Most popular wildlife and trees along the waterfront trail include: white-tail deer, fox, red tailed hawk, rabbits and squirrels. Tree varieties include willows, oak, birch and pine. The conservation area offers a unique natural corridor for wildlife to live or travel along the creek towards Lake Ontario. There are several picnic areas along the Waterfront Trail and in Petti- coat Creek Conservation Area that are a good place to stop to take a rest. Petticoat Creek Conservation Area is owned and operated by Toronto and Region Conservation. The conservation area also fea- tures the Petticoat Pool and Splash, a 4,100-square-metre aquatic facility that is fully accessible with three splash pools and an interactive water-play area. Adjacent to the splash pools and the splash pad is the main swimming pool, which is six feet deep, features a beach entry and has a surface area of 1,600 m2. The large, 1,000-metre, aquatic playground includes passive and interactive ele- ments such as sprayers, buck- ets, cannons and slides. Both the play facility and the pool uses state-of-the-art green technologies including energy efficient components and water conservation techniques. During the summer, Petticoat Creek Conservation Area plays host to numer- ous day camps and daycares. We offer an ideal location with many shaded areas, picnic shelters for lunch and snack times, open fields for sports and plenty of washrooms.

PNA 05/22/14 From page 1 Each site is jointly operat- ed by volunteer boards of local citizens and professional staff. Types of services offered at each location vary depending on the community. The local organization’s most notable programs include home care nursing, flu and other wellness clinics, as well as the SMART (Seniors Maintaining Active Roles Together) exercise program. The services are scattered throughout Durham, includ- ing Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Scugog, Port Perry, and Uxbridge. “At the moment, this branch doesn’t have any nurses doing in-home care but we do have nurses doing wellness clin- ics and we have (personal sup- port workers) in long-term care facilities,” said Ms. Marshall. VON Durham’s roots date back to 1914 when there was a need for home care for mothers and their babies. “It’s interesting to note that we started out by helping babies and moms and now we’ve basically gone full circle and we’re focusing on seniors,” she added. A member of the organization for 15 years, Ms. Marshall is a Whitby resident and has been president of the board for the past decade but will be stepping down this year. Over the past few weeks, she’s been working hard to track down past staff and volunteers to invite them to VON Durham’s 100th anniversary celebration. “I really think it’s wonder- ful to look back and see how many people throughout the region ... have contributed to helping each other and help- ing their community, whether it’s through nursing or through social interaction,” said Ms. Marshall. VON Durham’s 100th anniver- sary celebration will be held on Wednesday, June 11 at the Cen- tennial Building, 416 Centre St. S., Whitby. There will be an open house from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by a formal presentation and the organization’s annual general meeting.

But the limited access to information about the Sex Offender Information Regis- tration Act shouldn’t lead residents to feel less safe, says the Durham cop in charge of offender management. “As a resident of the region I’m not alarmed by what I see on those maps,” said Superin- tendent Brian Osborne. “We’re focused on the business at hand.” Last month the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that Ontario residents have the right to know about the concentra- tion of registered sex offenders within neigh- bourhoods defined by postal codes. Previ- ously government kept all but the most basic aspects of the statistics secret. While members of the public may be get- ting their first look at the numbers, the sta- tistics have been used by police since the creation of Ontario’s sex offender registry in 2000. Supt. Osborne said police use the regis- try to keep tabs on offenders and ensure their compliance with court-ordered conditions. “It’s a good tool, and we do use it regularly,” he said. People convicted of a sex offences -- they can range from public indecency to posses- sion of child pornography and sexual assault -- are placed on the registry for varying peri- ods of time, depending on the nature of their crimes. Durham’s offender management unit works to ensure compliance with court- ordered conditions, which may include restrictions on being near parks and schools, having access to the Internet, or working with young people. Breaches can land offenders back in jail. A glance at the numbers for Durham Region indicates varying rates for the pres- ence of registered offenders, ranging from relatively low -- for instance, 10 offenders in the L1R postal code area in central Whitby, a rate of 26 per 100,000 residents -- to much higher: in the L1H area representing south- east Oshawa there are currently 67 regis- tered offenders, or 215 per 100,000 residents. In Ajax east (L1Z postal code) there are four offenders living among 21,010 residents, a rate of 19 per 100,000. Supt. Osborne said a number of factors, including the presence of high-density hous- ing, can affect the statistics. York police Det.-Sgt. Derek Wheeler said it’s important for people to keep the stats in perspective, and not to interpret the pres- ence of registered offenders as an imminent threat to themselves and their children. “Sex offender is a broad list, ranging from the guy who likes to brush up against women in the grocery store to the old guy who likes to rub legs on the bus,” he said. Dr. Scott Woodside, a forensic psychiatrist and head of the sexual behaviour clinic at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said people should be armed with the facts about sex offenders and take the oppor- tunity to teach children about sex at an ear- lier age rather than engage in “panic.” He said that most sexual crimes against children, perhaps the largest concern for par- ents, are committed by relatives or acquain- tances of the children. As for whether the new information will help residents, he said he doesn’t believe it will. “I don’t think it’s particularly helpful,” he said. “It tells you almost nothing about how many sex offenders are in the community. Sexual offending remains one of the most under-reported offences. So, while you might know about how many offenders are living in your area, you don’t know about the ones that haven’t been caught.” He suggested the release of the informa- tion may do more harm than good. “My sense is it’s likely to cause panic and unnecessary concern rather than make people more aware or help them take more effective steps to protect their families,” he added. As for steps families might take to avoid children becoming victims, Dr. Woodside said parents should be educating children, beginning at age five, about sex, including the names of body parts and the difference between a “good and bad touch.” -- With files by Jeremy Grimaldi, Metroland York Region To see the interactive map for Durham, see this story to durhamregion.com Page 6 - Today’s editorial 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 y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP fferincludesdelivery,destination,fees nd $4,000INCASH BONUS §.Offer based n 2014 Optima LX AT with a purchase rice of $26,984.Excludes HST. 2014 LX AT Power Driver’s Seat TANDARD EATURES 6-Speed Automatic Air Conditioning OFFER ENDS JUNE 2 ND financing % MOnTHS UP TO CASH BONUS UP TO § OR P l us Offer(s)availableonselect new 2014models to qualified retailcustomers whotake delivery by June2,2014.Some conditionsapply.Vehiclesshownmay includeoptionalaccessoriesandupgrades available atextracost.Alloffers are subjectto changewithoutnotice.Allpricing includes delivery and destination fees up to $1,665, $5 OMVIC fee,$29 tire tax, $477 dealer administration fees,other taxes, environmental fee and $100 A/C charge (where applicable).

The Study consists of three projects: 1.Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g.watermains,sewers,pumping stations,reservoirs); 2.Transportation (e.g.roads,bridges,cycling paths/lanes and sidewalks in Regional road rights-of-way)and Transit Infrastructure;and 3.Service facilities (e.g.works yard). The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)document (October 2000,as amended in 2007 &2011).The Environmental Assessment for the Study will be fulfilling the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The three projects that form par t of the Study must meet different Schedules under the Class EA process,as follows: 1.&3.Schedule B –Water and wastewater infrastructure and service facilities 2.Schedule C –Transportation infrastructure Study Status The Class Environmental Assessment for Regional Services for the Central Pickering Development Plan is currently approaching completion.The anticipated Environmental Study Report (ESR)filing date is the end of June 2014.The study to date: •Refined the water,wastewater,and transportation system servicing alternatives based on input from the ongoing consultation activities and further studies. •Confirmed the preferred water,wastewater and transpor tation system servicing alternatives. •Completed the preferred water and wastewater,transportation and transit infrastructure preliminary designs and the draft ESR. Proposed Modifications to the Study Since Public Information Centre (PIC)No.2 in June 2012,additional work has been done on the Study.Based on this work the following modifications are now being proposed: •The preferred Zone 4 Water Reservoir Site has been moved to the west side of Sideline 26 -Siting for the Zone 4 Reservoir was based on lands that could be purchased from Transpor t Canada.Since the initial evaluation was completed,Transport Canada has indicated a preference for the Region to locate on a large site that could potentially accommodate all 3 water components (Zone 5 Elevated Tank and Pumping Station and the Zone 4 Reservoir). •The Zone 5 Elevated Tank was initially proposed on lands south of Highway 7 and just west of Sideline 24.Discussions with Transport Canada determined that the Zone 5 Elevated Tank could potentially be located on the north side of Highway 7 at the site on the west side of Sideline 26 with the Zone 4 Reservoir.If it is later determined that this site is unsuitable due to potential conflicts with a future airport,the Zone 5 Elevated Tank can be located at a site south of Highway 7 adjacent to Sideline 26. •Whites Road from Finch Avenue to Taunton Road has been improved to better facilitate continuous and effective High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)lane operations by increasing from 4 to 6 lanes. •One of the amendments to the Municipal Class EA passed in October 2011 altered the Class EA Schedule from a C to a B for service facilities.Based on this it was decided that the Region’s service facilities project would also change from being Schedule C to Schedule B.

Next year’s budget process is still months away, but the Durham Police Services Board recently got an overview of what to expect from the 2015 num- bers. Personnel costs such as wages and benefits make up 81 per cent of the current 2014 police budget. Stan MacLellan, chief admin- istrative officer for the Durham Regional Police Service, said there isn’t a lot of wiggle room when it comes to those costs, because they are negotiated as part of a collective agreement. “When the largest driver is something you don’t control, that’s a challenge,” he said. The current agreement expires Dec. 31, 2014, which means the 2015 police budget will be based on an assumption about how much wages will go up. Police wage increases have gone down over the past four years, from 2.9 per cent in 2011 to 2.5 per cent in 2014. The number of officers on staff is also a key question for 2015 -- Mr. MacLellan said meetings will take place later this month to discuss staffing levels. The authorized strength for DRPS -- which is the maximum number of positions allowed -- is 871 officers and 306 full-time civilian members. DRPS currently has 858 offi- cers. “A key planning question and assumption for 2015 will be how many members to budget for,” a report to the board notes. “Returning to budgeting to authorized levels will increase the budget.” Other challenges on tap for 2015 include replacing aging specialty vehicles. The mobile command vehicle will reach the end of life at 12 years old in 2015 and is expect- ed to cost $385,000 to replace. “Could we get another year or two out of it? It’s conceivable,” Mr. MacLellan said. “But this is something that’s coming down the pipe.” The older of two court paddy wagons is also up for replace- ment at a cost of $165,000. The 2014 police budget is $177.6 million, an increase of 3.2 per cent, or $5.6 million, over 2013. It includes $11.1 million to ser- vice debt costs, a figure expect- ed to jump to $11.4 million for 2015. A draft 2015 police budget will be presented to regional coun- cil’s finance committee in Sep- tember. 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 y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 6 AP Markham Port Hope Napanee Kingston Brockville Johnstown Iroquois Brooklin Newcastle Quinte West Grafton Tyendinaga Gananoque TransCanada is a Canadian company with over 60 years of experience building pipelines and power infrastructure safely and reliably. easternmainline.com The Proposed Project TransCanada is proposing to construct new natural gas pipeline facilities primarily along our existing pipeline corridor between the City of Markham and the community of Iroquois located in the Township of South Dundas.Route deviations away from the existing pipeline corridor are being considered in some locations due to: •environmental features •adjacent land uses •construction constraints •stakeholder feedback The project is proposed to include up to approximately 370 kilometres of 36 inch diameter pipeline as well as new compressor units at five existing compressor stations located in the Municipality of Clarington,the Township of Alnwick-Haldimand,the Township Tyendinaga,the City of Kingston and the Township of Augusta.

Throwing 100,000 people out work of is a good thing? These people are our neigh- bours, our family members, they coach our kids, they shop at our local stores. Making them unemployed only increas- es labour supply, so workers become less choosy and more willing to take whatev- er job they can find, at whatever wage is being offered. And we all know what kind of jobs those will be. Increasing the number of people scram- bling to raise their families in some sort of reasonable fashion is good? There’s an enormous waste of talent because young people have their lifetime careers derailed. There is a profound neg- ative effect on business investment in a depressed economy. And so on. And here’s the thing: all of that weakens the economy. If the economy is weaker, this means less revenue, which offsets any savings. It’s all pain and no gain. Mr. Hudak also wants corporate tax breaks to create jobs. What stops corpo- rations from keeping their tax savings or issuing it to themselves as dividends and bonuses? The problem is demand: without a demand for what firms can sell, they have no need for any extra hours of work from existing staff, much less hiring new staff. Businesses create jobs only when there is a demand for their products, no amount of tax cutting will help if there is no market for the services. How about specific grants/rebates etc. to specific companies tied to specific job creation pledges? How about investing in infrastructure? How about investing more in skills and education? How about con- crete programs to encourage new invest- ment? How about we end this mean-spir- ited us-versus-them mentality and all work together? Bob Paul Pickering Time doesn’t fit crime To the editor: Re: ‘Plea entered in death of Oshawa man’, news, durhamregion.com, May 13, 2014. I was disgusted to read that a man who punched someone in the face and left them to die beneath a boat tarp received one year in jail and three years of proba- tion. I realize that perhaps there was no intention to kill the victim, but the death occurred during a criminal act (assault) which I think necessitates more than a year in jail. I see this as the courts not valuing life or holding up the country’s laws. I think it’s time that we asked judges to do their jobs and to properly sentence people who com- mit violent crimes. Christine Smith Sex offender data in Durham no cause for panic Opportunity for local parents to educate kids While more specific information about possible threats to children is a good thing for parents, it's important to remember that not everybody on the sex offender registry is a pedophile. A flurry of recent stories had headlines such as, 'Forty registered sex offenders in Anywheresville'. That's due to a recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling stating Ontarians have the right to know about the concentration of sex offenders in neighbourhoods defined by postal codes. Now people can see that there are, for example, 67 registered sex offenders in the southeast Oshawa L1H area and four in Ajax's L1Z neighbourhood. Now, the first thought of parents of young children is that there are a number of violent sex offenders in the communi- ty and they should be on high alert at all times. It's true and not true. Parents in the seemingly safest of situations and loca- tions have to be vigilant, take nothing for granted to ensure their kids' safety. And this applies to things such as swimming in a pool or a lake. On the other hand, not all of the people on the registry pose a direct threat to chil- dren. Some are on the list for public indecen- cy or possession of child pornography. And while these are crimes, the key point is that not every person on the list has committed the same crime. They are not all prowling your neighbourhood looking to snatch a child. Durham Police Superintendent Brian Osborne, in charge of offender manage- ment, tells us he's “not alarmed” by what he sees. The statistics have been used by police since the sex offender registry was created in 2000. And he says it's a tool police use all the time, monitoring and ensuring sex offenders' compliance with court-ordered conditions, such as staying away from parks. Dr. Scott Woodside, a forensic psychi- atrist and head of the sexual behaviour clinic at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, says the new informa- tion is an opportunity to teach kids about sex at an earlier age rather than engage in “panic." Dr. Woodside says the main threat to your child isn't from strangers: he says most sexual crimes against children are committed by relatives or people the chil- dren know. Every parent wants to know how many registered sex offenders live in their neighbourhood. But perhaps this information is a reminder that they need to educate their kids and be on guard against all manner of possible threats. 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 y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 9 AP From $249 Mon-Fri9-5 Sat9-4Mon-Fri10-7 Sat10-4 Scarborough N Port Union Rd Kingston R d 401 Ryl a n d e r B l v d 65 Rylander Blvd(416)283-2783 Sh e p p a r d A v e T h i c k s o n R d Consum e r s D r Whitby 10 Sunray St(905) 668-3366 N S u n r a y S t 401 YOUR SOURCE FORBBQS, FIREPITS &OUTDOOR FIREPLACES From $599 From $949 Professional Expertise & Service You Won’t Find At A Big Box Store! www.classicfireplace.ca Swimming Daily, Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Lego, Golf, CSI, Tetherball, Tumbling and Trampoline, Space Exploration, Multimedia and Computers, Skatepark, Ice Hockey, Magic, Tennis, Cheerleading, Leadership and Training Program (for campers completing Grades 8 and 9), and much, much, more!

The right weather condi- tions can drop mixed flocks of these brightly coloured little birds into treed yards, parks and creek valleys across Durham, where they rest up, feeding on hatching insects, before heading on to northern woods. Often woodlots along Lake Ontario host quantities of exhausted, hungry warblers that have just flown across the lake overnight, sometimes battling headwinds. Thickson’s Woods has welcomed its fair share this past week, delighting all human visitors strolling the paths below. Last Saturday was a special day for me and for many other birders and photographers. Cool north breezes kept the swarms of mating midges low to the ground, and the warblers followed, providing eye level views of their stunning green, blue, red, yellow, black, white and chestnut coloura- tion. It took me half an hour to make my way 100 metres along a valley in the woods, so many tiny birds were fluttering about among the opening leaves. Bay-breasted warbler, a gorgeous combination of cream, black and chestnut. Parula, its blue wings streaked with white. Canada, with its jet-bead neck- lace against a golden throat. Chestnut-sided, magnolia, black-throated green ... they just kept coming. Then an excited birder went racing by, say- ing someone had just seen a prothonotory warbler on the other side of the woods. Every- one who heard followed in a stream, and I spent the next hour with them, happily scan- ning along the far north ridge, warbler watch- ing. Star of the show, admired by many, was a blue-winged warbler, a bright yellow bird with a black eye line, and white bars on its beautiful wings. More than pleased with the morning, I headed off for lunch. Only to have my next-door neighbour, Glenn Coady, come pounding on my door. “I just saw a bird you don’t have on your Thickson’s Woods list,” he announced with a grin. “Wanna see a protho- notory warbler?” Glenn and my husband had found one four years before, the second-ever record of this rare and exquisite species in the woods. I grabbed my jacket and binoculars. Minutes later we were standing on the Waterfront Trail near Corbett Creek Marsh, staring down at a giant old willow growing at the edge. Birders there on stake-out assured us they’d seen the prothonotory just minutes before. And sure enough, it appeared for us, so golden a bird its plumage seemed to glow. “The last one I saw was nesting in a tree cav- ity in Rondeau Provincial Park in Essex Coun- ty, more than five years ago,” I told the strang- er next to me excitedly. He smiled back, and said that was the last time he’d seen a pro- thonotory, as well. They’re that rare, and that unforgettable.

Prepare your pets for emergency When disaster strikes, I worry not only for the people suffering in its wake, but for their pets as well. These little, vulnerable creatures rely on their owners and their ability to care for them. There’s so much chaos that pets can easily become lost or injured. We saw what disaster can do to pets when Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. in 2005, and thousands of people were forced to abandon their pets in the floodwaters. Since extreme and unpredictable weather has become more common in recent years, there seems to be one disaster after another, often leav- ing abandoned pets to fend for themselves. May is Emergency Preparedness Month, and since we never know when disaster will strike, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals wants to ensure peo- ple are always ready in case it does occur. While local police, fire and ambulance are the first responders to save a human life in times of disaster, the OSPCA is the first responder to care for animals in this time of need. The OSPCA is seeking donations in order to ensure it has the best emergency response team ready to act in case disaster strikes, but it’s also reminding people to put an emer- gency plan in place for their pets in order to avoid unnecessary tragedy. It’s important for pet owners to remember that ultimately, the responsibility of caring for pets rests on the owner, and this is still the case in an emergency situation. In the case of an emergency, people should make sure to evacuate with their pets in tow. Since we never know when disaster will strike, pet owners should make sure to have proper carriers for each of their pets in a place that’s easy to access in a crisis. Pet owners should also create a 72-hour pet emergency survival kit, as a pet owner’s ability to care for their pet during a time of emergency will depend on how well they’ve prepared for it. The OSPCA recommends having the following items in an emergency preparedness kit for pets: • 72-hour food supply, including bowls and a can opener • 72-hour water supply • Blankets/towels • Toys • Leash, muzzle, harness • Litter pan, litter, plastic bags and scooper • Pet carrier to allow for easy transport • Medical records, veterinarian’s name and contact number • Medications and a pet first aid kit • Current photo of your pet along with their name, address and brief description • Information on your pet’s feeding sched- ule, temperament/behaviour, medical con- cerns • ID tags and microchip number • Flashlight • List of boarding facilities and hotels that can accommodate pets Check the kit twice a year and update it as necessary. Ensure there is always fresh water and food, medication and restock any items that may have been used. Visit www.ontariospca.ca to receive a free emergency preparedness decal in the month of May, and more detailed pet emer- gency kit lists. The decal indicates that there are pets inside, and allows the owner to specify the type of pet and how many there are. 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 y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 10 AP The tick season happens in spring and fall, a bookend to the heartworm season with which most dog owners are familiar. Ticks are typically found in tall grasses or wooded areas but can even be found in urban parks. Ticks start off very small, but will increase in size sub- stantially as they feed on the blood of their host. It is only at that time where most pet owners will recognize the tick. Sometimes they may look like a small growth or skin tag. Ticks will eventually fall off, but if found most pet owners will want to remove them. If you haven’t removed a tick before take your pet into your vet’s office where they can show you how.It’s impor- tant to remove all the mouth parts of the tick, or else Ask the Vet: What do I do if I find a tick on my dog?Written by Dr. Hillary Butler inflammation or infection can appear in the area.

UOIT has increased its budget this year by 7.6 per cent -- or $12.7 million -- for 2014- 2015, coming in at $180 million in expenses, and balancing it with $180 million in reve- nue. The largest costs were in the area of labour -- $77.6 million on continuing labour and $14.6 million on limited term labour. “The labour component is about 51 per cent,” said Mr. Elliott. The largest source of revenue is tuition, making up 40 per cent or $72 million. Tuition goes up for students this year by 2.9 per cent, equalling an extra $1.9 million to the univer- sity. The biggest capital projects are laptops coming in at $5.8 million and space recon- figurations costing $3 million. Mr. Elliott said the Regent Theatre in downtown Oshawa is losing $89,000. How- ever, he said the building’s No. 1 purpose is to act as a learning environment for the stu- dents. In order to make some profit, he said staff can take a look at making better use of the theatre for events, while keeping student learning in mind as the key priority. “The primary mission of that facility is aca- demic,” he said. He said UOIT’s Automotive Centre of Excellence is almost breaking even, but there is a challenge ahead. “At this point General Motors has reduced the number of hours in the facility and that has resulted in us looking to fill those hours with additional customers,” he said. He said the focus of the budget is on improvements looking outwards. “This is the most strategic budget that we’ve produced at UOIT since I’ve been here,” he said. Mr. Elliott said UOIT plans to focus on space and student learning, faculty-to-stu- dent ratios and UOIT’s fiscal position. 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 y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 13 AP 100% Kentucky Bluegrass Sod OR RTF Water Saver Fescue Sod (repairs itself, drought tolerant, sun or shade) G rowerFreshSOD BuyDirectlyfrom theGrower 905-263-2126 5495 Enfield Rd.

Originally from Iran, the local midwife and her husband started a new life here three years ago. She says the experience of immigrating has helped her connect with clients, many of whom are also newcomers. “I was one of them, I felt the same feelings,” says Ms. Hassanzadeh, 35. She recently joined the team at Sage- Femmes Rouge Valley Midwives, a group of 10 midwives with privileges at both Rouge Valley hospital sites. “I am open to all clients, but I am especially happy to help women who are new to Cana- da,” says Ms. Hassanzadeh. She says pregnancy and new motherhood are particularly vulnerable times for women, and can be even more so when they are far away from family or dealing with language barriers. Ms. Hassanzadeh’s unique skill set includes speaking English, Turkish, Farsi and Azerbaijani. She also brings international training to Durham. She studied at Tabriz University of Medical Science in Iran and worked as a midwife in that country for eight years, including train- ing students at Mahabad Azad University and working in under-serviced areas. Ms. Hassanzadeh says with a laugh that babies are born “by the same route” no mat- ter what country they’re in, but she acknowl- edges there are differences between mid- wifery in Iran and Canada. For example, in Iran there are very few home births, while Sages-Femmes Rouge Valley Midwives sees about 20 per cent of its clients give birth at home. In Iran, midwives work set shifts at hospi- tals just like nurses, which means patients don’t see the same midwife all the time and may not know the person who attends their birth. “In Canada, you have continuity of care from prenatal to post-partum,” Ms. Hassan- zadeh says. “You can really build the trust and the relationship over the course of care.” After coming to Canada Ms. Hassanzadeh graduated from an international midwifery program at Ryerson University. She has been practising with the local mid- wife group for several months and says she feels right at home. “I love the community, I love the hospitals, I love the clients,” she says. “I think this is the best job in the world. To be there for the birth moment is amazing each time.” Carolynn Prior, division head of midwife- ry at Rouge Valley Health System, says the number of local women opting for midwives is growing each year. However, she says there are still many mis- conceptions about midwives, including that women under the care of a midwife can’t give birth in a hospital or can’t have an epi- dural for labour pain relief -- both of which aren’t accurate. Women also do not require a doctor’s referral for a midwife, and midwifery servic- es in Ontario are covered by OHIP.

The public alerting system consists of two components— outdoor sirens installed within three kilometres of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station,and an automated telephone dialing system for indoor notification within the 10-kilometre area. Only households and businesses with a land line, in this area,will receive the indoor notification. The public alerting system is designed to warn residents and businesses in the unlikely event of a nuclear emergency. The testing of the public alerting system will take place during regular daytime business hours on May 26 for indoor notification,and on May 27 for outdoor siren activation. The outdoor sirens will sound for up to one minute. Individuals near the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station who hear sirens or receive the indoor notification are not required to take any action. THIS IS ONLY A TEST. For additional information, please contact the Public Alerting Information Line at 1-866-551-5373,or visit www.durham.ca/demo.

Ce n t r e f o r Bilingual services now availableCentre For Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in Ajax Dr. David Direnfeld, Psychologist 905.427.2007 Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE ASK THE PODIATRIST: I began feeling pain in my heel and arch approximately one year ago. It has gotten progressively worse In the past 3 months. The pain is most intense when I first get out of bed in the morning, or when I first stand up. It then seems to ease somewhat. It feels like a bruise on the inside of my heel right where the arch begins. What might this be and how can I treat it? It sounds as if you are describing a condition known as PLANTAR FASCITIS, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick, fibrous, connective tissue running from the inside of the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintaining the arch of the foot. Initially the onset of symptoms are gradual and of low intensity but they soon progress to a sharp, persistent pain. The pain is worse when first arising in the morning or at the beginning of any activity. It will then lessen after a few minutes of walking but will recur after a rest or with prolonged movement. Although the symptoms are in the heel, the heel is not the problem. PLANTAR FASCITIS occurs as a result of excessive pronation and a flattening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, leading this inflexible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fibers will then develop some mirco tears, swelling and inflammation. Some of the predisposing factors leading to plantar fasciitis are: •Flattening of the arch (lengthening of the foot) •Increased pronation •High arched rigid feet •Inappropriate shoes •Toe or hill running •soft terrain running (for example jogging on the beach) •Increased age or weight •Pregnancy can cause feet to lengthen and splay Treatment for PLANTAR FASCITIS involved R.I.C.E., rest, ice, compressions, and elevation. Exercises are also of some benefit. These include rolling the arch on a tennis ball, picking up a towel with your toes and Achilles tendon stretches. Also working on your quad- riceps will help. Woman may find wearing a shoe with a slight heel height of 1 to 1 ∏ inches will help maintain better arch height and thus ease some symptoms. Oral anti-inflammatories, corti- sone and physiotherapy only address the inflammation and not the root cause, which is the foot mechanics. The best treatment is pre- scribing a custom made foot orthotic. It will control the foot mechanics and minimize pronation while supporting the arch. It will decrease the pull of the fascia at the heel, thereby lessening the inflam- mation and pain. Orthotics should always be made from a negative impression plaster case in a non-weight bearing position. This will reproduce the foot in a normal arched neutral position. Resolution of the pain with orthotics can take from sev- eral weeks up to 4-6 months, depending on how long you have had the problem. If pain persists longer, a surgi- cal plantar release may be indicated. As with most other problems, it is important to address symptoms as soon as they appear. The longer you have the pain, the longer It will take to resolve the problem. If you have a specific ques- tion you would like answered or a top you would like addressed, please send it to ASK THE PODIATRIST c/o The News Advertiser.

The idea of something that was once a means for communication being repur- posed as art would be right up his alley. Although communicating began with art, really, didn’t it? Painting on walls and all that. Although even before that there was sound: grunts, whistles, beats, music. So maybe there’s something deeper going on with Lori Murray’s idea of creating works of art out of musical instruments. Murray is one of the good folks behind the first Durham West Blues Fest, which will run for three days, June 13 to 15, at Annandale Golf and Curling Club in Ajax. Some pretty big names are on the bill: Downchild Blues Band, Jack de Keyzer, Fathead and Carlos Del Junco. There are workshops, jams and concerts, guaranteed coolness. There is also a silent auction wrapped around the event that will feature artwork created by artists from instruments donated by Long and McQuade. Murray says the idea for the art project came from an outdoor street exhibit in Oril- lia. It was called the Guitars on Parade Street Alive project. It was back in 2010 and as I happened to be at the Mariposa Folk Festi- val’s 50th anniversary that year, I saw all the wonderful works involved. Oversized gui- tars were created and offered to artists as canvases. Some of the work was really eye catching (I’m always happy when my eye is caught because it’s a heck of a thing to try and find it when it’s not). More than 1,000 folks voted for their favourite five pieces in the competition. While several artists have already creat- ed their masterpieces, there is still time for others interested in working with instru- ments as raw material to contact Murray. I’m thinking of a couple of locals already. I’d love to see what Viktor Tinkl of Sunderland, for example, would make, or Mark Puigmar- ti, the Uxbridge blacksmith. The silent auction of the works will con- tinue until the festival closes and proceeds will go towards the creation of a visual and performing arts centre in the area. Murray, who has been running the Music By The Bay Live club shows, says the centre is very much needed. Such a thing could serve as an anchor for the rapidly developing municipalities of Ajax and Pickering and facilitate greater collaboration between the arts and music communities. It would be a place for them to gather and express. The venue would be something McLuhan would recognise immediately. A place of like-minded indi- viduals, a tribe getting together, singing, performing. I think he would blame televi- sion and say it gives one the blues.

Ajax Community Theatre ends season with The Psychic Play runs May 29 to June 7 AJAX -- The 2011 Edgar Award winner as Best Play by the Mystery Writers of America is not easy to characterize. Ajax Community Theatre presents The Psychic to wrap up its season, a play described as “a comical, murder-mystery of sorts.” And if that isn’t enough to pique your interest, there’s also a surprise plot twist. “Adam Webster, a struggling wan- nabe mystery writer lives in a run-down New York basement apartment,” states co-director Cheryl Tulloch-Van Vliet of Ajax. “Desperate to pay his rent he hangs up a sign in his window offering: Psy- chic Readings, $25. To his surprise, he blurts out to his first customer, the love- ly and conflicted young woman named Laura Benson, that her husband is plan- ning to kill her. From then on, a string of bizarre characters connected to Laura, her cheating husband, a mistress, a gang- ster and a detective pay their own visit to Adam. Much to Adam’s alarm and confu- sion, he soon finds himself embroiled in a string of bizarre murders and the pos- sible plot of a great murder mystery.” The Psychic features Paul Dobbs and Garrett Lee of Oshawa as Adam and Coslow, respectively, Ajax’s Derek Barber as Roy, Mark Kalzer and Barb Frigault of Whitby as Johnny and Rita, respectively, and Julie Jarrett of Scarborough as Laura. Port Perry’s Glenn Ottaway is co-direct- ing. The Play runs May 29 to 31 and June 5 to 7 at 8 p.m. There is also a June 1, 2 p.m. matinee. See The Psychic at the St. Francis Cen- tre, 78 Church St. S., Ajax. For tickets and more information about ACT, visit ajaxcommunitytheatre.com.

Powers and his teammates on the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots came up short at the RBC Cup national junior hockey championships in Vernon, British Colum- bia, finishing with a 1-3 record in the round robin and failing to advance to the semifinal playoff round in the five team tournament. “We didn’t go there with the intentions of losing in the round robin, but I guess that’s how it goes sometimes,” said the Ajax resident. “It was a battle every shift. Every team was good, fast, strong. It was just who had the bounces in each game.” The games were incredibly close, with Toronto opening with a 2-1 loss to Dauphin, then evening their record with a convincing 5-1 victory over Yorkton. But losses of 4-2 to Carleton Place and 3-2 in overtime to Vernon left Toronto in fifth and on the out- side of the four-team semifinals. The results were strange, considering that Yorkton went on to win the national championship with a 4-3 overtime win over Carleton Place. Toronto handled Yorkton quite easily in the round robin. “I knew they were a good team. The score wasn’t indicative of how good a team they were,” said Powers of the eventual champions from Yorkton. “They had really good D, big, strong forwards. It was just one of those games where all our chances went in.” Powers, a Denis O’Connor graduate, will be taking a couple of weeks off for a well-deserved rest before beginning train- ing for next season. In mid-August the defenceman will be heading to Pennsyl- vania where he will join Division-1 Robert Morris University to play on scholarship for the Colonials.

After suffering defeat in the gold-medal game of its first tournament in November, the Attack boys reeled off nothing but wins from that point on, finishing the season with an overall record of 59-1 and winning gold at both the provincial and national champion- ships. “As the first-ever Durham Attack boys to be provincial and national champions at the U14 level, these tremendous young men have set the foundation for four more years of volleyball excellence in Durham,” said coach Mike Richardson. The Attack finished off the dream sea- son by winning all 18 sets at the Canadian East Open in Sherbrooke, Que., defeating the Markham Stingers in the championship game on May 4. Although they didn’t meet in the final, the Attack and Toronto Pakmen were the class of the division this season and had several heated battles, including in the provincial final and national semifinal. The Pakmen, who had handed the Attack that lone defeat at a regional tournament in November, also took the first set of the pro- vincial championship game in Waterloo, 26-24, before the Attack rallied for wins of 25-13 and 21-19. “It was literally back and forth with both teams having several chances to win it,” said Richardson. The never-say-die attitude was a trademark of the Venom team, which also fought back from a 20-7 deficit for victory in one set at the provincials and had trailed Pakmen 24-21 in the first set of the national semifinal before battling back for a 29-27 win. Although proud of all his players, Richard- son said it was the leadership of co-captains Matthew Lee, Justin Lui and Hayden Marsh- Collis, who are all from Pickering, that made those types of comebacks possible. “Those three captains really showed a lot of maturity and a lot of leadership and sup- port,” said Richardson. Other team members are Trystan Mor- ris-Fraser, Shaine O’Keefe, Mark Naqvi and Adriano Galbiati, also from Pickering, Zach Armstrong and Isaac Northcott from Brook- lin, Keegan McGonigal from Whitby and Erik Wotten from Ajax. Richardson, who’s from Oshawa, was joined on the coaching staff by his children, Patrick and Randi, and Dr. Raymond Lee from 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 • Ma y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 23 AP 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.comCONTACTUS TODAY!

Dr. Charles Robert - Passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside on Friday, May 9th, 2014. He and his loving wife Barbara shared 60 years of love and marriage. Beloved father of Dan (Robin), Linda (Arvid), Wanda and Rod (Jo-Anne). He will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren Karl (Maria), Steven, Ryan, Darius, Marius, Brianna and Mackenzie. He is survived by his sisters, Dr. Sheila Pennington (Ben Harrison) Dorset ON and Chris Morrison, Comox B.C. CANADA'S LOSS, HEAVEN'S GAIN ... Clergyman and visionary, Charles Catto passed away just weeks before his 85th birthday. Zambia's Ambassador to Italy, Frank Mutibila, shared that "God gave the world a wonderful person who practically interpreted God's commandment, to love your neighbour as you would love yourself". "Uncle Charles" as he was known to so many in a small Zambian community, "made us realize at a young age when we were in Kitwe, that irrespective of our different skin colours we were all the same children of God." For over fifty years, Charles Catto challenged Canada's leaders to question their policies on Aboriginal housing needs. It came as no surprise that he should leave this world on the day of the Auditor General's Report. Quick-witted and a "Master of Puns" he delighted in reminding those responsible for steering the policies on homelessness and impoverished conditions coast to coast. That Ottawa was often on the wrong road, passing by the opportunity to provide the "Attiwaspukats" of this nation with warm and affordable homes for the poorest of the poor. Charles would quip that if "Life is a Highway", then our policy makers remained at the flashing red light. Charles leaves his legacy in the Foundation he created fifty years ago, where he spent many years, mentoring and inspiring a global community of volunteers with his "Dream doer" vision. Believing that every individual is worth salvaging, and that God doesn't make junk, the "Order of Canada" and "Queen's Jubilee" recipient continued to motivate everyone, until his creator finally called him home Friday, a month post-surgery. We would like to thank Dr. R.J. Cusimano and his medical team at the Toronto General Hospital for their professional and compassionate care. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the MCEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 905 428-8488. The family will receive friends at the Pickering Village United Church (300 Church St. N., Ajax) on Saturday, May 31, 2014. 11:00am-1:00pm - Visitation with the family (Tea & Coffee will be served) 1:00pm - 2:00pm - The "Celebration of Life" funeral service 2:00pm - 4:00pm - Reception (Sandwiches, snacks and beverages) In lieu of flowers, donations to the Frontiers Foundation, 419 Coxwell Ave, Toronto, Ontario, M4L 3B9, Canada would be appreciated by the family.
