There are cur- rently 16 candi- dates competing for Pickering coun- cil seats. It’s still a three-way race for the mayor’s chair, with incumbent Dave Ryan squaring off against Edoh Apaloo and Maurice Brenner. Mr. Brenner is no stranger to local politics -- the former City and Regional councillor is taking his second shot at the mayoralty after losing to Mayor Ryan in 2010 by about 1,700 votes.

So, it was fitting that she was recently honoured with a Life- time Achievement Award for her own contributions. The longtime Durham resident was among those recognized on May 26 when the City of Pickering handed out its annual Civic Awards. This year, 30 individuals, com- munity groups and businesses were celebrated. “Our interest was piqued when we learned Major Colette Blight has made a lifetime of wearing out the heels of her combat boots, coaching shoes and the treads on the tires of her car,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. Major Blight’s career started 34 years ago as a cadet in Wind- sor. She later became a founding member of 856 Pickering Royal Air Cadet Squadron and served as its commanding officer for 12 years, a position she loved.

It felt like we didn’t fit in or that we had done something wrong,” she says. “One guy started talking really loudly about immi- grants.

Ontario Provincial Police say the Whitby man, 30, was seriously injured when a Dodge Cara- van travelling westbound on Hwy. 7 veered into oncoming traffic just before 4 p.m. on June 3, col- liding with his Hyundai Elantra. Shortly after the initial collision, three addi- tional eastbound vehicles -- a grey Chevrolet Uplander, grey Ford Escape and another Dodge Caravan -- as well as a westbound GMC commer- cial vehicle, became involved in the collision, say police. The collision occurred on the stretch of Hwy. 7 between Westney and Salem roads. The driver of the Dodge Caravan involved in the initial collision, a 49-year-old Maple man, was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life- threatening injuries, say police. Two Whitby women, 49 and 27, who were in eastbound vehicles, were treated for minor inju- ries at hospital, add authorities. Two occupants in the GMC truck and the driver of the second Dodge Caravan were not hurt, say OPP. Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact Constable Gavin Cox of the Whitby OPP detachment at 905-668-3388. PICKERING -- Four vehicles were involved in a collision on Hwy. 7 just west of Salem Road near Concession Road 6. One person was ejected during the crash and another was trapped. Roads in the area were closed for several hours while police investigated. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland An editorial in our May 28 issue on nuclear safety requires clarification.

Durham cops bust 18 in warrant blitz DURHAM -- A crackdown on outstanding warrants by Durham police has resulted in 18 arrests. The three-day blitz by Durham’s Offender Man- agement Unit saw charges including failing to appear in court, forcible confinement and sexual assault laid against wanted offenders between May 26 and 28. All had outstanding warrants for their arrest, police said. The Offender Management Unit monitors and enforces conditions imposed on people released on bail, parole and probation, as well as registered sex offenders.

We often, rightly, celebrate the diversi- ty of our country and community, a cher- ished destination for people from India, China, Iran, Jamaica and literally all cor- ners of the earth. Many of these newcom- ers to Pickering have left countries dev- astated by violence, steeped in poverty and prone to a variety of natural disasters. They come here for a more stable, peace- ful life, an opportunity to not just exist but thrive. But it’s easy to forget that when Europe- an colonists first came to Pickering they didn’t find a land devoid of people. No, it was inhabited by Aboriginal people who had been here for thousands of years. In many cases, our first inhabitants, with their expert knowledge of the land and its resources, were invaluable resources to the Europeans, helping them to survive in what was for them a brutal place. The first impression many Europeans had of the Aboriginal peoples was a nega- tive one, people who needed to be Chris- tianized and modernized. Wild people in a wild country. The truth, as discovered by the traders and coureur des bois, was far different. They encountered people for whom spirituality wasn’t just a compart- ment of their lives, but permeated their entire existence. Gracious, friendly people, quick to laugh and share. We should always remember, and be grateful, that when Americans 200 years ago sought to invade and take over our country, it was Aboriginal people who fought side-by-side with the British in the War of 1812 to repel the Americans. Sadly, and this is a North American story, as the number of Europeans increased there was a corresponding drop in the Aboriginal population. This was both acci- dental and intentional. We cannot change history, but we can recognize the contributions Aboriginal people made and continue to make to our wonderfully varied community and coun- try. “We are the first inhabitants; we should be celebrated,” Pickering’s Kim Wheatley, whose heritage is Anishinaabe Ojibway, told us. We couldn’t agree more. Ms. Wheatley organized the first Aborig- inal Celebration Day, a modest affair, five years ago. We are happy to say the event has grown and will be held in Pickering’s Esplanade Park (next to City Hall) June 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. Make sure you go, not just for the fun, food and entertainment, but for your own edification. Strides made in maternal care To the editor: Re: ‘Today on the Hill: Harper heads to Toronto’, news, durhamregion.com, May 28, 2014. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Toronto to host the Saving Every Woman Every Child Within Arm’s Reach summit. I wanted to communicate its importance. In 2010, Canada led the G8 countries to launch the Muskoka Initiative, gather- ing $7.3 billion for Maternal Newborn and Child Health programs. Through these programs, Canada funds the delivery and development of vaccines and micronutri- ents through the GAVI Alliance and Micro- nutrient Initiative. Thanks to this invest- ment, 700,000 more children lived to their fifth birthday in 2011 than did in 2010. As well, maternal deaths declined sharply. But there is more to be done. Right now, we are still not reaching the “fifth child”. Even with the strides made with our investment, we are not reaching one in five children. If we put that in Canadian terms using Canadian statistics, we’d be missing 400,000 children of our own. We’d be let- ting the population of Laval, Quebec die before the age of five. As a Canadian who has educated myself on poverty alleviation, I’d like to acknowl- edge the investment of $3.5 billion announced at the summit. Christine Smith Students will feel the pinch To the editor: As the election date nears, the support for students with learning disabilities in schools could face an immense decline. Tim Hudak’s plan to cut 10,000 teaching and educational assistant jobs in Ontar- io will pose a threat to the success of stu- dents with learning disabilities and special needs. The support for students in school can always be improved. But, by electing Tim Hudak, there would be only a negative impact on students and their ability to thrive and succeed in school. How can Mr. Hudak balance the budget on the backs of students with disabilities? Thankfully, businesses are forced to be accessible to the public, so how is it OK that education will be less accessible to the most vulnerable members of society, those with special needs? Just being in a class is not receiving an education, if the child cannot access it without the assistance of special technol- ogy or EA support. With 10,000 fewer jobs in education, how would these students receive the support they are entitled to? Mr. Hudak’s plan will set back the gains we have made in making education acces- sible to children in Ontario. Children deserve better than this.

Largest in stock selection in Durham, over 1,000 choices available UnTil JUne 15, 2014 DURHAM -- Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne uses a finger-thumb “pinch” technique when she wants to make a point emphatically. Andrea Horwath scans the room when she’s speaking. And despite observations from some quar- ters that Tim Hudak has a painted-on smile, he’s capable of putting on one that is genuine. Body language experts say these are the physical gestures to look for when the three party leaders are speaking in public. To those watching them, the leaders’ movements can signal happiness, confidence, agitation, even a lack of sincerity, says Diane Craig, president and founder of Corporate Class Inc., and Mark Bowden, who created the company Truth- plane, a communication training company. In separate interviews, Ms. Craig and Mr. Bowden viewed video clips of the three lead- ers’ body language and gave observations about what it all means. During a speech to a recent audience in which he touted his one million jobs propos- al, PC leader Mr. Hudak holds his arms wide apart at stomach level and launches into a smile as he says, “Our economy is in a mess. But we can fix it.” Though Mr. Hudak’s crit- ics may not agree, the smile is real, says Mr. Bowden. “Most people don’t put it on long enough. It has to be sustained, really, for about two and a half seconds or more for people to recognize it as a true smile,” says Mr. Bowden. Ms. Craig says the way Mr. Hudak holds his hands far apart is a signal that he’s trying to tell his audience “trust me, I’m being open with you.” Mr. Bowden says using open-handed ges- tures at exactly belly height reveals to others that everything is going to be OK and signals “friend.”  The Liberal leader uses the finger- thumb pinch and other hand techniques -- such as a karate chop-like motion -- in a stac- cato way to emphasize a lot of her words and syllables, the body language experts note. Ms. Craig says the hand techniques are intended to exude authority, but Mr. Bowden says the pinch gesture indicates that one is making a point that is delicate, and needs to be understood by the audience. “The more someone uses their fingers, the more it provokes other people to feel like they are (conveying) something delicate and intelli- gent,” says Mr. Bowden. However, he adds the technique should be used carefully because it can also come across as “teacher-ish.” Ms. Horwath’s personal approval numbers have been good -- a recent Forum Research poll saw her approval numbers at 35 per cent, just slightly behind the 38 per cent for Ms. Wynne and ahead of the 23 per cent for Mr. Hudak -- but the NDP leader tends to exhibit a mannerism that our body language experts aren’t fond of. The head scan. Ms. Horwath does it a lot, for example in a video clip when she spoke to reporters after deciding not to support the Liberals’ budget, which toppled the govern- ment and triggered this month’s vote. She can be seen scanning the room with her head and eyes. “She doesn’t stop anywhere to make eye contact with anyone in particular ... she’s not engaging with anyone,” says Ms. Craig. Durham residents interviewed on the street in downtown Bowmanville shared their thoughts on how the leaders engage with the public. "(Kathleen Wynne) is a phoney, just the way she smiles and talks," says River Noble. "Hudak's the same way." Yet for Mr. Noble and others, it comes down to each party's past actions or promises that determine their vote. Mr. Noble says he's already decided to vote NDP and not because of hand gestures or body language. Jim Griffin says he wants "the Liberals out" and criticizes Ms. Wynne for her association with former Premier Dalton McGuinty. "I don't trust her, she's right in McGuinty's back pocket." -- With files from the Toronto Star Election body language of the leaders During the last week Metroland Durham Region Media Group conducted four online polls to gauge your opinion of the three main provincial party leaders.

There are currently 16 candidates compet- ing for Pickering council seats. It’s still a three-way race for the mayor’s chair, with incumbent Dave Ryan squar- ing off against Edoh Apaloo and Maurice Brenner. Mr. Brenner is no stranger to local politics -- the former City and Regional councillor is taking his second shot at the mayoralty after losing to Mayor Ryan in 2010 by about 1,700 votes. The race for the Ward 1 Regional councillor spot includes incumbent Jennifer O’Connell, Myrna Picotte and Nick Tsetsakos. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean is looking to hold onto his seat and is so far the only one registered for that position. The race for the Ward 3 Regional councillor seat will see incumbent Councillor Peter Rodrigues square off against longtime Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. So far, Deborah Bissett is the only candidate seeking the City coun- cillor Ward 1 seat, while the race for City councillor Ward 2 is currently between Ian Cumming and Cody Morrison. The race for Pickering’s Ward 3 City coun- cillor seat is the most crowded -- it’s a popu- lar place to throw a hat in the ring, because the incumbent won’t be in the running. There are now four people registered for that race -- Laurissa Hraiki, Malcolm Schell, Shaheen Butt and Nick Nikopoulos. That’s down from five after Gino Sgovio withdrew his name from that race. The first-ever election candidate for Dur- ham’s regional chairman seat filed nomina- tion papers on March 7. Whitby resident Michael Deegan, 35, is a denturist with Deegan Denture Clinics, a third- and fourth-generation family business with clinics in Oshawa, Ajax and Whitby. Pickering Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson are the only incumbents who haven’t indicated whether they will seek re-election. Pickering’s school board trustee races include Chris Braney, Paul Crawford and Corey Besso running for the public board seat, while incumbent Jim McCafferty is looking to hold onto his seat on the Catholic board. Veridian proposes cutting number of directors Drop from 20 to 15 would save $100,000 a year Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Veridian Corporation is look- ing to shrink the number of directors oversee- ing the organization. The proposed change would drop the total number of directors from 20 to 15 effective Jan. 1, 2015 and save an estimated $100,000 a year. “It’s a really good step forward. I think every shareholder can support this,” says board member and Pickering Councillor David Pickles. Veridian Corporation is jointly owned by the City of Pickering, the Town of Ajax, the Municipality of Clarington and the City of Belleville. The change to the board of Veridian Corpo- ration -- and the board of its subsidiary com- pany Veridian Connections Inc. -- requires approval from the municipal shareholders. Veridian’s number of directors compared with other electrical utilities has been a topic of debate for some time. “Obviously, it’s too large. Its cost is almost double other boards,” said Ajax Council- lor Colleen Jordan last fall when Ajax coun- cil asked Veridian to review its governance model. Veridian has about 116,200 customers and 20 directors in total between the Veridian Corporation board and Veridian Connec- tions board. In comparison, Toronto Hydro has 12 board members. Ottawa Hydro, with 305,000 customers, has a board of seven, and London Hydro, with 150,000 customers, has eight. Veridian president and CEO Michael Ange- meer says it’s not an apples-to-apples com- parison. “We have four municipal shareholders, which is different from a lot of other utilities ... some have only one shareholder,” he noted. Mr. Angemeer says the new recommenda- tion is a “good balance” between providing adequate oversight and reducing costs. Eileen Higdon, the NDP candidate for Pick- ering-Scarborough East, raised concerns about Veridian’s governance at Pickering council’s May 20 meeting. She said there should be “a more open and transparent” process for members of the public to attain a seat on the board. “Having four out of the five Pickering seats taken by members of Pickering council gives the appearance of feathering your own nests in this purportedly public corporation,” Ms. Higdon said. 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 • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 4 9 AP 7th 9 am - 9 pm Hours:Mon. - Fri. 9am to 8pm Saturdays 10am to 3pm Closed Sundays & Holidays Phone: 905-831-7977 • Fax: 905-831-3078 Email: durhamdrugstore@gmail.com 780 Kingston Rd.

In addition to that,here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic… “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise,improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage,biofeedback, acupuncture,injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets,and ultrasound.”--Stanley Bigos,MD,Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Although chiropractic works greatfor back pain,at our of- ficewe’ve helped patients with a wide range of problems. “Isn’t ChiropracticJust ForBack Pain?” There’s an endless list of health problems chiropractic can help with.For example,here’s whatarecent study on chiro- practic and high blood pressurefound… “This procedure has the effect of not one,but two blood- pressure medications given in combination…And it seems to be adverse-event free.We saw no side effects and no problems”said study leader George Bakris,MD,director of the University of Chicago hypertension center.

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) was prepared as part of the study and made available for public, agency and other stakeholder review. The ESR recommended the widening of Highway 2 for dedicated transit in curb lanes with buffered on-road bicycle lanes within the three transit priority opportunity areas. The ESR was approved September 5,2012. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES You are invited to attend the Public Information Centre (PIC)events being planned as part of this Addendum.

Her essay won in the intermediate catego- ry for Passages Canada’s Write and Make Art Challenge. The contest received more than 400 submissions from students in Grades 1 to 12. “I was very surprised, I was kind of speechless actually,” Mariam says of her win. The Grade 9 Pickering High School student is a Muslim who immigrated to Canada from Guyana in 2006 at age six. In her piece, Mariam describes facing dis- crimination because of her culture and faith and addresses the fact that many people view her as “oppressed. “There’s another form of oppression when people are in danger of not being able to practise what they believe in,” she writes. This is the second year for the Write and Make Art Challenge, which encourages stu- dents across Canada to explore issues of immigration, identity and racism through writing and art. Entries were judged by a panel from Pas- sages Canada, the Canadian Encyclopedia and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Mariam says she loves the multicultur- al environment at Pickering High School, where she is one of many students who wears a head scarf, and teachers are willing to accommodate time for prayer. But, the teen says she still encounters judg- ment often -- whether it’s a lingering stare, an ignorant comment or worse. “People build up perceptions of a group of people based on what they hear from friends. My ethnic culture and my religious identi- ty are two things people make assumptions about,” she says. “I’m not the only person who feels this way, but I’m one of the few people who felt like they could say something. A lot of people are too scared to speak out.” Excerpt from ‘unveiled’ “I know what a lot of people say about my religion. I am well aware of their views on ‘outsiders’ and immigrants. I’ve had people judge me based on the way I look, the way I dress, the language I use. There’s a certain attitude used -- by many -- towards people who believe in certain things -- and maybe this is not always the case -- but for some, faith is regarded as not something bad, but rather, something stupid. Illogical or irrational, even. There’s a hint of a laugh when I say some- thing about my views, a bit of contempt, confu- sion. They ask me if I ‘don’t know what they’re doing in the East’ if I ‘don’t realize I’m being oppressed.’ There’s another form of oppression when people are in danger of not being able to prac- tise what they believe in.” Pickering girl pens winning essay PICKERING from page 1 905·839·22881099 Kingston Rd., Pickering, L1V 1B5 (At Dixie Rd.)

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Flycatchers make their way into Durham The thing about birds is that they move around, blessed with that magical ability to fly. One star of spring migration in Durham this year was a rare visitor from farther south that found a likely looking spot for nesting, decided he liked it and set up territory. For two weeks an Acadian flycatcher has been singing in the tops of tall willows in Corbett Creek Marsh along the Waterfront Trail in Whitby, actively advertising for a mate. If a female shows up and builds a loose, messy nest held together with spiderwebs, it will be the third record of the species breeding in the GTA. Pioneers moving north due to global warming? Possibly. Small numbers of these small grey-green flycatchers nest in similar deciduous-dominated creek valleys along Lake Erie’s north shore, specialists of wet Carolinian woods, only tiny scraps of which remain in our ever more human-centric world. This was the first time my annual Big Day Birding team had Acadian flycatcher on the list of species we managed to find in Durham in a 24-hour period. We noted other look-alike members of the flycatcher family in the same creek valley, all with pale wingbars, a small crest and a bit of an eye ring. The only way to tell certain ones apart is by voice. While Acadian males sing “Peez-zah” from the treetops, alder flycatch- ers deliver an explosive raspy “Wee-beeo” down in the shrubbery. Willow flycatch- ers call “Fitz-bew” from brushy wet fields, and least flycatchers “Che-bek” from forest edges. The eastern wood-pewee’s ecological niche is forest habitat, where they whistle their distinctive, clear “pee-ee-wee” from a high perch. Slightly larger than the others, pewees sport a pale grey “waistcoat” on their chest, an aid to identification. High in the same woods you’ll often hear a hoarse, loud “Wheep, Wheep, Wheep” -- the signature call of a great crested flycatcher, a handsome grey-brown bird more the size of a robin, with a rufous tail and yellow belly. We found two more flycatchers on our Big Day Birding. Eastern phoebe is unique in that it nests on ledges under bridges or gar- den sheds, and always flicks its tail when it lands on fence posts and other perches to eat a moth it caught. Eastern kingbird is dif- ferent from other flycatchers in being entire- ly black and white -- black back, white front, with an elegant white edge along the tip of its tail. Kingbirds are quite visible as they flit about along roadsides in open country. We missed seeing olive-sided and yellow- bellied flycatchers on our Big Day, as most had migrated on north by then to the conif- erous bogs and woods where they breed. But eight flycatchers out of the 154 species we found was a good tally for these voracious insect-eaters -- truly man’s best friends.

While I love the heat, pets in parked vehi- cles do not, and they can die much quicker in a parked car than one might think. Have you ever sat in your car while it’s parked for a couple of minutes when it’s hot out? What about experiencing how hard it is to breathe when you enter the car after it’s been parked outside while you shop? It’s not pleasant, but dogs can’t speak up and remind their owners that leaving them behind in the car could very likely make them sick or kill them. A dog’s normal body temperature is 39 C, and a temperature of 41 C can only be with- stood for a short time before irreparable brain damage or death can occur. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. They do not perspire through their skin like people. On warm days the air and upholstery in a vehicle heats up to high temperatures, mak- ing it impossible for pets to cool themselves, warns the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The car retains more heat than an open area and becomes like an oven. Even on a seemingly mild day, parked in the shade with the windows rolled down when owners run a quick errand, pets in parked cars are at risk of injury or death. Plus, a dog may get overexcited in the car due to passersby or panic from claustropho- bia, making dehydration more likely. Large mall operator Cadillac Fairview recently joined forces with the OSPCA to help raise awareness of the dangers of leav- ing pets in parked vehicles. Perhaps some local malls, outlet malls or grocery stores can jump on board as well, or at least pro- mote the message. What’s wrong with the odd announcement, reminding pet owners that their pets (and children, for that matter) shouldn’t be in the car? Or how about some posters? The more messaging and reminders we have, the better chance that people will think twice before leaving their pets in the car. Another danger: leaving pets outside for long periods in the heat. Don’t do it. If they must go outside, it should be for short peri- ods. Make sure they have plenty of shade and water available. Walk dogs in the early morn- ing and evening. Certain types of dogs, such as boxers, pugs and other short-muzzled dogs, can have a more difficult time in the heat. So can older dogs, overweight dogs, puppies under six months, dogs with medical conditions and dogs on medications. There are more dangers besides heat stroke during the summer months, and I’ll be sure to write more about them in the future. You can take the pledge to promise your pets will be safe in the heat by visiting NoHotPets.ca. Encourage your friends and co-workers to do so too. Some people simply don’t know about the dangers. If you see an animal suffering in the heat, call the OSPCA at 310-SPCA, the Humane Society of Durham Region at 905-665-7430, or the police. Durham police will respond. I have called when I saw a dog parked in a freezing car, and a co-worker recently called the police when he saw a dog in a parked car in the heat. Both times, police responded. But ultimately, pet owners have to be responsible. If you know you are going to be leaving the car and you cannot take your pet with you, leave it at home. It’ll be much more comfortable there. Kristen Calis Reporter No pets left inside vehicles this summer Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 4 DURHAM -- Parked vehicles can become deadly for pets within minutes in the warm months, even when it doesn’t seem overly hot outside, if the car is parked in the shade, or when the windows are cracked. Submitted photo In the summer, we frequently want to take our pets with us to the cottage or camping. Some pets travel better than others, with some having anxiety or motion sickness while traveling in the car. There are medications available when it comes to these ailments, so don’t feel like you just need to leave your pet at home or just ‘put up with’ the stress of traveling with an ill pet. Talk to your vet about options if your pet has either of these issues. Also, we often make pit stops when we are on a long car journey. In the hot summer it can take only a few minutes for the temperature of a car to increase exponentially. Even if you’re just stopping for a water break, make sure someone remains Ask the Vet: Is there any advice you cangive on car trips with my pet?

Major Blight represented the City of Pickering in France at the opening of the Juno Beach Centre and was an Honour Guard for Queen Elizabeth during her Golden Jubilee visit to Toronto. She has recently taken on the role of regional advisor for 15 cadet units. This year’s other two Lifetime Achieve- ment awards went to Bromley Armstrong and Donald Upham. Mr. Armstrong has dedicated more than six decades to fighting for civil rights and social justice, after immigrating to Canada from Jamaica in the 1940s and experienc- ing racial discrimination when he tried to get a job as a welder. A prominent labour activist, he helped spearhead Ontario legislation that prohib- its discrimination in housing and public places. Mr. Armstrong is a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario, and has also been awarded the Order of Dis- tinction from Jamaica. Mr. Upham has been active in the Pickering community since moving here in 1969. The local war veteran often played Santa Claus for neighbourhood children and served as president of the Ajax Rotary Club for many years. At age 72, he started volunteering at Scarborough Centenary Hospital and became known as the “voice of calm” as he wheeled patients into operating rooms and greeted them following surgery. He gave up his volunteer position after being diagnosed with cancer at age 84, but still helps others by participating in clini- cal studies for treatment of the disease. Victoria Bozinovski was another local resident honoured at the ceremony -- she was nominated by Durham Regional Police and took home this year’s award for bravery and heroism. While at a local gas station on Christmas Day, Ms. Bozinovski spoke to an elderly man who was asking for directions. She later recognized his name from a Durham Regional Police missing person report and called police. But Ms. Bozinovski didn’t stop there -- the local woman drove around the area and eventually came across the missing man in Ajax. She stayed with him until police arrived, offering comfort and ensuring that he was safe. Ms. Bozinovski says she feels “honoured and very thankful” for the award. She was surprised that her story moved people at the awards ceremony to tears. “I didn’t realize how much people are affected by a random acts of kindness,” she says. Pickering’s Civic Award winners are nominated by their peers and members of the community.

Dr. MacAskill believes that chiropractic care is more than just making the pain dis- appear. It is about learning, understand- ing and taking care of your body to improve your quality of life. According to Dr. MacAskill, the body is controlled by the brain through its connec- tion via the spinal cord and the vast net- works of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking. Our upcoming video series examines the importance of maintaining good posture for optimal health. We will discuss degen- erative spinal changes and causes, as well as proper postures for sleeping and household duties. Dr. MacAskill received his honours bach- elor of science degree in human kinesiolo- gy from the University of Waterloo in 1985. He continued his studies at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where he received his doctorate with both clinical and academic honours in 1989. Dr. MacAskill opened his chiropractic practice in 1989. He has served on boards of the Ontario Chi- ropractic Association, Durham Region Fit- ness Council, Durham Region Chiroprac- tic Society, Whitby General Hospital, and school community council for several high schools. As an active member of the Rota- ry Club of Whitby Sunrise since 1990, Dr. MacAskill has served as club president and was instrumental in the design and installa- tion of the Rotary outdoor gym at Heyden- shore Park. Dr. MacAskill regularly speaks to clubs, organizations and companies on one of his greatest passions, a healthier life through chiropractic care. For more infor- mation, visit: optimallifechiro.com. Series breakdown: • Monday, June 9: Importance of posture for optimal health In this video, Dr. MacAskill shows a model of the spinal column while comparing it to that of a spine with degenerative issues, in order to demonstrate what may occur when proper posture is not maintained. • Tuesday, June 10: Sitting Today’s video is for desk junkies. Dr. MacAskill demonstrates sitting with proper postural support and good posture techniques. • Wednesday, June 11: Sleeping Do you sleep on your side, stomach or back? Find out what is good and what can be bad. This video involves a model demonstrating proper postural support when sleeping. • Thursday, June 12: Household duties In this video, Dr. MacAskill demonstrates postural correction for several household duties including: lifting, carrying and yard work such as raking. • Friday, June 13: What does a chiropractic adjustment do? Dr. MacAskill explains the procedure. In this video, see what a treatment might be like. Is there a project or topic you would like to see us cover? Let us know what you want to learn.

Leeanna McLean Videographer Videos @ durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Videographer Leeanna McLean and David MacAskill discussed the impor- tance of maintaining good sleeping posture in this week’s Your Life video series. Leanna McLean / Metroland Health department Durham youth encouraged to get chlamydia testing DURHAM -- The Durham Region health department is encouraging young adults across the region to get tested for chla- mydia during June. There were more than 1,700 reported cases of the sexually transmitted infection among Durham residents during 2012, the health department says. Chlamydia is most commonly found in people ages 15 to 24, and can result in pelvic inflamma- tory disease and infertility if left untreated. Testing is offered free of charge at the health department’s sexual health clinics across the region. Clinics are located in the Pickering Town Centre, 1355 Kingston Rd., Oshawa Centre, 419 King St W., and in Port Perry at 181 Perry St. on the sec- ond floor. Residents can also visit health- care providers or a walk-in clinic for test- ing. For more information on chlamydia and testing, visit www.findoutthewholesto- ry.ca. Residents can get more information on clinics and sexual health services at durham.ca/sexualhealth, or by calling Durham Health Connection Line at 1-800- 841-2729 or 905-666-6241. 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 • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 4 18 AP FLYERS ThuRSdaY, JunE 5, 2014 Carrier of the Week Congratulations Alex for being our Carrier of the Week. 6 Harwood Ave. S.,Ajax 1949 Ravenscroft Rd.,Ajax 300 Rossland Rd.

ADVERTISING FEATURESpotlight ON BUSINESS Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time A leaking basement is frustrating and expensive – and it’s not something you want to have to fix repeatedly. That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

THTH E B ESTST SUMMER CAMP EVER 905-668-1391www.wyc.ca This Year (NC) Alberta Visser was a typical senior in assisted living when she fell and broke her arm. Health diminishing, she required the care of a nursing home, and she kept getting weaker. “It was to the point where her quality of life was deteriorating – the less she was able to move, the weaker she became,” says her daughter Marcia. Marcia Visser is no stranger to our health care system – she’s on the board of the Ontario Hospital Association. But, even she was having trouble figuring out how to help her mother stay active when she fortunately was introduced to Mobilization of Vulnerable Elders in Ontario (MOVE ON). The project increas- es the mobility rate of elderly patients and reduces their length of stay in hospitals and institutions. The program improves the quality of life for patients and their families, and creates savings for the health care system. Health care workers use an algorithm to determine how a patient is doing in the program. A means they’re up and about three times a day; B means they can sit up in a chair; and C means they’re exercising in bed. The program has been successfully implemented across 14 Ontario hospitals, and it’s one of six Adopting Research to Improve Care (ARTIC) Program projects. The Council of Aca- demic Hospitals of Ontario, which represents the 24 research hospitals throughout the province, delivers the program with funding support from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. It’s just one of many health innovation programs that the CAHO community is leading or supporting to improve the quality of care for Ontarians, and to make our health care sys- tem more sustainable. Investment in the health research sector is creating better ways to care for Ontarians. Marcia Visser was inspired by what she saw, and went back to her mother’s nursing home with a plan to help her get mov- ing again. Within two months, her mother was up and walking around more, and she was able to move back to assisted living where she had a much higher quality of life until she passed away. “My mother was living a much better life once we got her mov- ing. She’d be happy to know that others are doing the same.” More information is available at http://bit.ly/1gVhMiY. Sidebar: Health research matters Ontario’s 24 research hospitals create a healthier, wealthier, smarter Ontario by improving the quality care for patients, sup- porting thousands of good jobs, teaching the next generation and attracting the brightest and best researchers and health pro- fessionals. 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 • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 4 26 AP Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative to medication.

The Pickering Village JAM returns to Old Kingston Road June 6 and 7, featuring live music, art, vendors and its trademark good time, relaxed atmosphere, just the tonic after a winter that lasted far too long for most, and a spring that’s taking its sweet time heating up. “Pickering Village Community Events, headed by Bruce Jenkins, and the JAMFest committee bring to you this annual festival, an unofficial kickoff of the summer season,” says committee member Shireen Whit- more. “It starts on June 6 in the Courtyard at 109 Kingston Rd. and will feature local musical talents Shades of Night and Rust- proof.” The event continues with the June 7 street festival on Old Kingston Road, near Church Street and Kingston Road, featuring local artists, information booths from communi- ty groups and food vendors. The June 7 opening ceremonies are at 1:45 p.m. Then it’s time for hours of live music on the street and in The Courtyard, with performers including Gibbran Rashid and Tamsynn-Lee Isaacs, the Dirt Squirrel All Star Band, the George Oliver Trio, Cali- fornia Sun and Old Man Flanagan’s Ghost. “You won’t be able to stop your feet from moving when you hear the Celtic Rock sounds of Old Man Flanagan’s Ghost,” Whitmore says. “Hot Rocks will keep things rolling with the music of the Rolling Stones. Saturday night’s final feature is Crush, Can- ada’s best Bon Jovi tribute band.” And don’t forget the YouthJAM, which showcases some of the many talented young people from Durham Region. Whit- more didn’t want to ruin the surprise, only saying that “plans for this year’s YouthJAM are much more ambitious.” The Pickering Village JAM is free to attend.

Ajax artist has unique understanding of Canadian landscape’s light and colour Ian Winton ‘immersed himself in art and music’ After looking through a book on Leonardo da Vinci as a small child, Ajax painter Ian Winton announced to his family that he was going to be Leonardo when he grew up. And he still states, 60 years later (and quite pos- sibly tongue-in-cheek) that his work will eventually hang in the Louvre, or maybe the Uffizi or, maybe, even, the National Gallery of Canada. Winton still credits Leonardo -- and pri- marily the master’s numerous inventions -- with inspiring his life-long passion for model-making and art. He was even com- missioned to create working models of the famous Leonardo ‘inventions’ when he was 18 in his native England, and was thrilled to have them displayed on television. Winton immersed himself in art and music at a very young age and later stud- ied at the Croydon and Birmingham col- leges of art, majoring in industrial design, on the recommendation of his practically inclined engineer father -- plus some fine art -- and, upon graduation, found work as a prototype model-maker. He immigrated to Canada in 1968 and, literally, within hours of arriving in Toronto landed work in his field. He worked as an employee of various businesses, making industrial, architectur- al, museum and jewelry models for many years, eventually moving on to freelancing as a prototype creator, which he does to this day. The ubiquitous lawn flamingo and the famous Laura Secord cameo are only two of his model design claims to fame. Throughout the years he has commit- ted serious amounts of his time to painting acrylic landscapes, typically done on loca- tion as studies that are later turned into fin- ished works of art in the studio. When he first set out to paint the Cana- dian landscape, Winton recalls noticing a real and striking difference in the luminous quality of light and its affect on colour com- pared to the duller, gentler spectrum he was used to in the English countryside. This shift in light still infuses his landscape paintings, which have unique and signature high sat- urations of warm and cool hues. He truly believes that if the viewer of his art takes their time to soak it in, they will see the tran- sient nature of light and shadow in his ren- derings. Winton is a long-time member of Ajax Creative Arts and has participated in its shows, along with a long list of appearances in solo and group shows across the province and in Halifax. See Ian Winton’s paintings at www.ian- wintonfineart.com. Allan O’Marra is a professional artist living and working in Ajax. For contact information go to www.allanomarra. com.

The Cardinals lost just once in her sopho- more year; unfortunately it was in the Divi- sion-3 national semifinal game, preventing the hockey team from running the table and claiming a national title. This season, as a junior, Stewart was instrumental in leading her team all the way to the NCAA title, with a convinc- ing win in a 9-2 laugher over the Norwich Cadets in front of 1,619 fans. “It was pretty unbelievable,” says the 21-year-old right winger of the experience. “We lost last year our only game in the semifinals so that was a huge heartbreaker. I think that’s what pushed us to make sure we won it this year.” Stewart, who played with the Durham West Lightning hockey program and grad- uated from Dunbarton High School, had a stellar season at the university in New York. She tied for third in team scoring, just two off the pace, with 16-18-34 point totals in 29 games. Her season drew high praise from her coach, Kevin Houle. “Shannon’s been a very good player for us since her first year here,” he says. “As a freshman she contributed, as a sophomore she had a breakout year, led the team in goals and really became a go-to player for us. “This season she led the team in goals and she’s one of the elite players on our team and someone we can count on.” The final stop before the championship game was a test for Plattsburgh, which outshot St. Thomas 64-30, but needed an overtime goal to prevail 1-0. “That was definitely an emotional roller coaster,” says Stewart of the thrilling win in extra time. “We played really well, we just couldn’t score. Good goalies like that can win hockey games. It was definitely nerve- wracking.” With her senior year beginning in the fall, Stewart was given the ultimate compli- ment by her teammates at the conclusion of this past season, voted to be an assistant captain for 2014-15. It speaks to her leader- ship qualities and commitment to the pro- gram. “I’m definitely going to try and enjoy my last year and hopefully we can defend our title,” she says. “Leadership-wise it’s going to go up. That will change my outlook, trying to always be positive. Leadership is going to be a differ- ence for me.” Her coach wants Stewart to be a mentor for the young players and continue to grow the culture that the Plattsburgh program has developed. “She leads both vocally and by example,” says Houle. “As I tell all the kids, you are a captain for a reason because of the things you have done. You don’t want to over- think it. You want to do the things you’ve done over the past couple years.” Stewart, a childhood education major, hopes to go and play professionally in Europe when she graduates in 2015. PICKERING -- Shannon Stewart just finished her junior year at Plattsburgh State where her hockey team won the Division-3 national championship. She is a forward on the Cardinals team. Jason Liebregts / Metroland TORONTO -- Oshawa’s Mariam Abdul- Rashid and Ajax’s Xahria Santiago will head into this week’s OFSAA track-and-field championships on a hot streak. Both athletes captured three gold med- als each at the LOSSA championships in Oshawa and duplicated the feat at the Cen- tral Region meet at York University last week to qualify for the provincial championships in Mississauga June 5-7. Abdul-Rashid, a Grade 11 student at East- dale Collegiate, won all three of her senior girls’ events, the 200m dash, 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, and set a record of 13.46 in the 100m hurdles. Santiago, a Notre Dame student, set a record of 12.21 in the midget girls’ 100m dash, and also won the 200m run and 300m hurdles. Seven other local athletes won two indi- vidual gold medals each: Courtice’s Paige Nock in the senior girls’ 800m and 1500m; St. Mary’s Jessica D’Souza in the ambulatory 800m run and intellectually impaired 100m; Kurdell Reason of All Saints in the junior boys’ 100m and 200m; Austin’s Riley Tell in the junior boys’ 1500m and 3000m; Sinclair’s Nyal Higgins in the junior boys’ 400m dash and 300m hurdles; Eastdale’s Jeff Thornber in the senior boys’ 800m and 1500m; and McLaughlin’s Isaac Dobos in the senior boys’ 3000m and 2000m steeplechase. St. Stephen’s Jelani Yorke won the midg- et boys’ 100m dash and also contributed to the Bowmanville school’s win in the 4x100m relay. Other records were set by Wilson’s Hiley Dobbs in the junior girls’ 3000m (10:13.19), St. Mary’s Taylor Sharpe in the senior girls’ 400m run (55.24), and Pickering’s senior girls’ 4x100m relay team (48.34). Gold medals were also won by St. Mary’s Savannah Davidson (midget high jump), Dunbarton’s Ellie Zeeman-Atkinson (midg- et shot put), Notre Dame’s Alleyah Hinds (junior 80m hurdles), Dunbarton’s Ruth Rosalle (junior long jump), Pickering’s Alan- na Hendricks (senior 100m), McLaughlin’s Chardae Henry (senior 3000m), McLaugh- lin’s Katerina Cirone (1500m steeplechase), Richardson’s Jaeden Melbourne (midg- et 200m), Maxwell Heights’ Grant Richard (midget 100m hurdles), Port Perry’s Tyler Field (midget javelin), Ajax’s Andrew South- ard (junior 800m), Pickering’s Curtis Fin- keldey (junior 100m hurdles), Pickering’s Kerwin Jackson (senior 400m hurdles), Rich- ardson’s J’Van Manhertz (senior triple jump) and St. Mary’s Dominic Stewart (ambulatory 100m). Xahria Santiago blazes a trail to OFSAA track and field championships Football Ajax-Pickering Dolphins earn three victories over Metro Toronto Wildcats DURHAM -- What seemed like a tall task for the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins going into the weekend ended up being three well-earned victories against top Metro Toronto Wildcat squads. The day started with the seniors holding off the Wildcats for a 29-20 victory. The ban- tams then followed with an overtime thriller where the final score was 41-35. And if you had any nails left, the junior game went down to the wire with the Phins scoring a late-game rouge with two seconds left on the clock to edge out the Wildcats 22-21. This is the first time in a quite a while where the Phins were able to sweep the Metro Wildcats. On the OMFL side, the peewees trav- elled to take on the York Simcoe Young Bucs. The Phins jumped out to an early lead but the game ended in a 7-7 tie as neither team could score in overtime. So it may not quite be a win but no Dolphins team lost this past weekend. There will be a full day of football at Kins- men Stadium on Saturday starting at 10:30 a.m. with the atom OMFL team, followed by OVFL games with the seniors at 1 p.m., the juniors at 4 p.m. and the bantams at 7 p.m. A week earlier, Mother Nature co-oper- ated with a beautiful weekend for football at the Kinsmen Field home opening weekend for the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins. The Phins were victorious in all three games over the Oshawa Hawkeyes as the bantams kicked off the day with a 44-12 vic- tory, the junior followed with a 36-6 win, and the day was wrapped up with the seniors winning 36-0. On Sunday, the Phins returned to the field for OMFL games. In the first game, the atoms lost a close game 15-12 against the Markham Raiders. This game was followed by the peewees who were victorious against a determined squad from Etobicoke with the final score of 42-10. 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 • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 4 36 AP 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.comCONTACTUS TODAY!
