The dozens of employees are divided by computer monitors rather than cubicle walls. Their groups of desks stretch as far as the eye can see, some even having swag from their cli- ents promi- nently displayed like mascots. It’s no ordinary office when the founder and CEO of the company sits where the receptionist usually would. This is the best workplace in Can- ada. At least for a company its size.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Up the creek without a bridge Whitevale residents ‘outraged’ there are no alternatives for pedestrian crossing of creek Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Construction to replace the Whitevale Bridge is starting soon and some residents of the village are “sickened and out- raged” that there are still no plans for a pedestrian crossing over Duf- fin’s Creek. Whitevale finds itself in an unusual situation -- the bridge is the only link between the two sides of the village, which are divided by Duffin’s Creek. If residents want to access com- munity facilities such as the church, community centre, park or ice- cream stand, the bridge is the only way across the creek. City officials turned down the idea of a pedestrian bridge back in December, claiming it would be too time consuming to get the needed approvals and too expensive at a cost of more than $500,000.

Pickering has been doing round- ups since 2008 in an effort to reduce the negative impact large geese populations have on greenspaces. The City will work with Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity to round up geese while they are molting and unable to fly away. Round-ups are done early in the morning when the temperatures are cooler and there are fewer peo- ple around, to minimize stress on the birds. The geese will be put in pens, banded and relocated using a cli- mate controlled transport trailer. Danny Moro, project manager for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, says sometimes the birds come back. “There is no guarantee that the relocated geese will not fly back; Canadian Wildlife Service data shows that 15 per cent of the relo- cated birds return to area,” he noted.

As part of the event, a special unveil- ing of the Pan Am Ajax web portal was made as well as Ajax’s official song of the Games, We Stand As One by Cana- dian artist Jessica Tyler. The Town also launched its Sizzle Reel trailer video, meant to drum up excitement for the Games. “This is a tremendously large under- taking, it has taken a lot of planning,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. Ajax will host baseball and softball at the President’s Choice Pan Am Ball- park (Audley Recreation Centre Park), Oshawa hosts weightlifting and boxing at the Oshawa Sports Centre (GM Cen- tre) and Whitby will host Parapan Am Games judo and boccia at the Abilities Centre. Organizers expect to see about 125,000 spectators come through the gates of President’s Choice Pan Am Ballpark. “It’s the premiere event of the Games,” Mayor Parish said. Warren Sawkiw, who sits on the TO2015 Pan/ParaPan Games Athlete Advisory Council, encouraged anyone who can to volunteer at the Games. The former professional baseball play- er, who represented Canada at the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988, was a five-time veteran of Canada’s senior men’s nation- al baseball team. Ironically he did not make the Pan Am baseball team in 1987. But he said baseball put him on the path he’s on now in life and he’s look- ing forward to volunteering at next year’s Games. “Jump on board (to volunteer), experi- ence it. It will change your life, I guaran- tee it,” he said. The official one-year countdown Viva Pan Am Ajax takes place on July 10 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Audley Recreation Centre Park, 1955 Audley Rd. N. Sugar Heat will perform Latin pop hits, there will be a Pan Am Express Train ride and sports village, free public swims, sport try-its, cultural performances and food and kids’ activities. A celebration fire- work finale takes place at 10 p.m. The City of Oshawa will also have a one-year countdown event on July 11 at the Oshawa Sports Centre (General Motors Centre). The free family event takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. There will be boxing, weightlift- ing demonstrations, photo booth, steel drum music, face painting, zumba, a charity barbecue and a visit from Pachi, the TO2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am mas- cot.

Walter Percy House currently sits vacant on Sideline 16, southeast of the Hamlet of Brougham. The stone farmhouse was built in the Gothic revival style sometime between 1875 and 1885, and is one of three Seaton- area properties owned by Infrastructure Ontario and originally earmarked for demolition. Last fall, the Heritage Pickering Adviso- ry Committee asked for an evaluation on the properties and Walter Percy House was recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. A designation bylaw was recently passed after the Province indicated it had no objections. “This building has very unique and inter- esting architecture,” says Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues. He said the next step is finding an occu- pant for the home -- either as a residential property or for some other use. Coun. Rodrigues pointed to the exam- ple of Bentley-Gibson House, a historic Pickering home currently being used by the Greater Toronto Airport Authority. “We need to have it occupied to help keep it clean and protect against things like damages, vandalism and break-ins,” the councillor said. It will be up to the Province to determine how the property is used. With the addition of Walter Percy House, Pickering now has 15 properties desig- nated under the Ontario Heritage Act as well as a heritage conservation district in Whitevale. Walter Percy House features a Gothic window above the main door as well as unique stonework that includes roughly squared stones, voussoirs and fieldstone materials such as gneiss and granite. Some key features are missing from the home including the windows, chimney and doors.

Durham police are trying to identify a suspect in the mugging, at about 1:45 a.m. in the Delaney Drive and Radford Drive neighbourhood. The 18-year-old victim told police he was approached by a man who pulled a gun and demanded he hand over his phone. The victim wasn’t hurt. The suspect is described as a black man in his late teens with a flat-top haircut. He wore a black jacket and a white balaclava. newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham Durham workers could be on strike Thursday Region’s 40th anniversary celebration postponed DURHAM -- Celebrations marking the Region’s 40th anniversary have been post- poned due to labour issues between Durham and members of CUPE Local 1764. Members will go out on strike Thursday, June 19 if a deal can’t be reached with Dur- ham Region. The local represents about 1,600 Regional employees and the union has given Durham notice the workers will walk off the job at 6 a.m. Known as ‘inside workers’, the employees work in such areas as child care, income sup- port, court services, public health inspec- tions, traffic operations and paramedics. The majority of these individuals are based at Regional headquarters. If the employees go on strike, paramedics would be required to keep working under the Ambulance Services Act. Operations at the Ajax Child Care, Edna Thompson Child Care, Gibb Street Child Care, Lakewoods Child Care, Pickering Child Care and Whitby Child Care would be affect- ed. Information on programs and services affected by a strike can be found at Durham’s website at www.durham.ca/strike or on Twitter (@regionofdurham) and Facebook (regionofdurham). Durham officials advised residents Tuesday that, due to current labour issues, anniversa- ry celebrations will be rescheduled to a later date. “Employees have worked very hard to make this event happen, and I thank them for the work they have done to date,” said Roger Anderson, regional chairman and chief exec- utive officer. “This event was designed to celebrate our Region and its history. Given a potential labour disruption, it is only appropriate to hold it at a later date.” Residents will be notified once a new date has been chosen.

The letter writer claims that the nuclear safety kits distributed to residents within the 10-kilometre radius of Durham’s nucle- ar generating stations are a waste of money and that the booklets are not recyclable. My impression was different. I thought that the ‘Nuclear Safety Guide’ booklets were well written and easily readable with relevant, up-to-date information. While the letter writer thought that the wire binding makes them unsuitable for recycling, my impression is that with the durable paper and wire binding, the booklets are intended to be saved and looked at occasionally. While the emergency preparation infor- mation also applies to preparations for other emergencies and disruptions such as evacuation due to transport spills, severe weather or electrical blackouts, I have no problem believing the editorial indicating that most people are unprepared. It’s easy to believe that medical and other costs resulting from a single-vehicle colli- sion due to panic and unnecessary evacua- tion in the case of an event will be far higher than the cost of distribution of the kits. Frank Dempsey, Locust Hill Fear had voters return Liberals The Progressive Conservative loss in last week’s provincial election can be explained in one word: fear. Ontario voters were terrified about PC leader Tim Hudak’s plans for their province if he was elected premier. The Liberals had enough baggage going into this election that they should have lost but Mr. Hudak gave them a lifeline: the PC plan to cut 100,000 jobs and create one million jobs. The Liberals pounced on the cuts. The Tories never said there would be cuts, just jobs not replaced through attrition. The ads followed showing teachers, hospital workers and social service workers worried about their jobs. Pictures started showing up on social media sites of a football stadium full of people with the caption, this is 100,000 jobs. Voters didn’t believe the one million job promise and were terrified about cuts. When they went to the polls in Tory ridings in many cases it was a vote against the PC party. In Durham Riding, Liberal Granville Anderson had a very low-key celebration planned, as if he wasn’t expecting the win. In Oshawa, Jennifer French did a great job meeting union voters, attending numer- ous CAW events. Those voters returned to their roots when marking their X instead of going Liberal or returning Jerry Ouellette. In Whitby-Oshawa, Christine Elliott was expected to win big but only took her rid- ing by about 5,500 votes. A victory, but one I’m sure most expected would be by a larger margin. Ajax-Pickering and Pickering- East Scarborough remained Liberal as was expected. Joe Dickson and Tracy Mac- Charles are back in the legislature. To any political pundit who started his or her predictions with the fear factor, the outcome isn’t that surprising. It also means Oshawa and Whitby are the only two munici- palities in Durham that don’t have a sitting member of government. Let’s see how that plays out over the next few years. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston predicted a Liberal minority so he was half right. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Post-election Ontario’s move to the middle complete What happened? What did Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals do so magically to win a majority despite the years of scandal and spending in Ontario? Why couldn’t Tim Hudak’s platform of deficit reduction, job creation and stronger fiscal management appeal to more voters and give Ontario’s Progressive Conserva- tives an opportunity to govern? The pundits have weighed in with many theories since the polls closed Thursday, but the emerging theme identifies a much different mood among the electorate, one that has put an end to hard right conserva- tism in Ontario -- for now, anyway -- of the sort that Mr. Hudak so cheerfully espoused. However, his defeat must serve as a lesson for any successors, not to mention the fed- eral Conservatives as they try to mine sup- port in vote-rich Ontario next year. Let’s take stock on such solid conservative principles that provided the foundation of Mr. Hudak’s platform, but which led direct- ly to his defeat at the polls last week: deficit reduction, a smaller public sector, corporate tax cuts, reduced program spending, and other initiatives. These issues, however, had a much different effect on Ontario voters, who remain concerned about the national and global economy, who have experienced first-hand the impact of job losses and who have seen the news coverage of bloody pro- tests and conflict where government auster- ity measures have been enacted in recent years. Using the deficit as an example, the PCs (and conservatives generally) continued to hammer at it as one of the compelling rea- sons to change government. But deficits are too abstract to Ontarians, who only want to keep their paycheques coming in con- sistently, so they can put food on the table, raise their families and pay their bills. The conservative notion, too, that any tax is a bad tax failed to resonate with voters as well, who seemed to say in electing the Lib- erals, ‘Well, we’re paying a little more, but the hospital is open, and my learning dis- abled daughter will have the support she needs at school, so...” In retrospect, it could be argued that the very ideals which have traditionally served Conservatives so well -- deficit elimina- tion, lower taxes, smaller government -- were rejected outright by Ontarians on June 12. The fear that Mr. Hudak’s prescription could kill the patient led them instead to reward the Liberals with a majority, and the fourth election in a row where they stayed resolutely in the middle. Pick your battles ... and a fabulous outfit! This past week, opening the op-ed sec- tion of a local paper, I experienced one of those ‘One step forwards, two steps back’ moments that I find exhausting. I’m sure all of you have experienced something like this from time to time. Like happily reading about the ratification of the Kyoto Accord only to look outside and see your neighbour pouring paint down the sewer. Or watching an inspiring tribute to the late, brilliant Maya Angelou and hav- ing to turn the sound up as a pickup truck, with a confederate flag draped across the cab window, rumbles by. It kind of takes the wind out of your sails. In this particular instance, an individual was writing to complain that the Gay Pride Flag, aka the Rainbow flag or flag of Inclu- siveness, was being flown outside of a local public school. The letter’s rhetoric included the usual litany of ignorance surrounding the subject of homosexuality or transgen- dered lifestyles. The phrases ‘family values’ and ‘influence on young developing minds’ were trotted out as though homosexuality were some highly virulent pathogen we need to vac- cinate our children against. Then came my personal favourite sigil of bigotry: ‘While I do believe that every single person is valu- able, do we really need the Gay Pride Flag for that purpose?’ That’s when my hackles really went up. This person believes nothing of the kind. A more honest and, in fact, more respect- able statement would’ve been: “While I do believe that every single person like me is valuable ...” And yes, frankly, we do need the Gay Pride Flag, right now and for a little while longer. For the same reason they needed the Eman- cipation proclamation, child labour laws and women’s suffrage ... and the furor that accompanied all of those things for a little while. People who have been disenfranchised understand how important that flag is. And most forward-thinking individuals under- stand that in order to get to a time and place and culture where we no longer need flags or buttons or ribbons to remind us to be lov- ing, kind and respectful of every other soul around us -- in whatever package they may come in -- we need to be educated about our differences. We need to replace fear and ignorance with understanding and inclu- sion. Had this letter’s author ever been beaten up in a schoolyard or been harangued from the windows of a passing carload of idiots or been written about in an op-ed piece, she might understand why that flag is so impor- tant. Had she witnessed someone precious to her, someone she loved, being persecut- ed and ostracized for doing nothing more than walking to the beat of a slightly differ- ent, more fabulous drummer, she would know why that flag is so precious. When I read things like this I am left shak- ing my head. In a world where there are so many other, much more important enemies to fight, so many more worthwhile prob- lems to take issue with -- famine, environ- mental degradation, reality TV ... why waste your breath bashing people who only want to live peaceably in the skins they inhabit?

Amanda Rogers: A bear wandering the streets of a small subdivision and following kids on bikes is a big deal. I agree that there are bears around but if it is known that one has escaped a zoo and is loose in the community the residents should be warned before it is chasing kids down on bicy- cles! I live across the street from the zoo and defi- nitely feel we should have been notified. Lindsay Robertson: Had the residents been alerted of the loose bear, the bear’s life could have been spared. Sara Houghton Many of the animals at that zoo are rescues. This is a wonderful place and accidents hap- pen. The owner of the zoo notified the authorities and neighbours, the police failed to issue the warning. Victoria Rossander: Bears roaming around areas that they usually are not is a very big deal. I live down the road from this place and I personally would have appreciated a heads up. Ignorance is infuri- ating when it comes to animals. Carolyn Anderson: The police should have put out a public warning ... The big deal it that it was NOT found ok. It is now dead due to whatever the zoo/rescue lacked to do to ensure this bear was secure. The police lacked in informing the public of potential danger! 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 1 8 , 2 0 1 4 8 P Pickering rouge canoe club oPen House!

DEALS YOU LOVEFOR LESS But residents of the village held out hope that a solution would be found. Now, with construction on the bridge slat- ed to start the first week of July, that seems unlikely. The bridge poses a safety concern, and was closed to traffic months ago due to a crack in the abutment that resulted from bad weather. Without the bridge, the only way to get from one side of the village to the other is to drive or walk an eight-kilometre detour route. “There are definitely people who don’t drive and there is no public transportation here,” says concerned resident Andrea Kisser- Quig. “If you had to walk, it’s eight kilometres there and back, that’s 16 kilometres to get to the community centre for a half-hour meet- ing. It doesn’t seem like something anyone is going to be doing.” She is concerned about safety, say- ing there have been discussions in the vil- lage of building a “makeshift crossing.” Also upset is Whitevale resident Jennifer Fay, whose two-year-old daughter is cared for at home during the day by a live-in nanny who doesn’t have a car. They live on one side of the creek, and the village park is on the other. “Every day they go to the park, but now that won’t be an option,” says Ms. Fay, who was hoping the City would come through with a solution -- either a permanent or temporary bridge. “People are going to attempt to find their own way across, there’s bound to be an acci- dent,” she noted. Darrell Selsky, manger of capital projects and infrastructure for the City of Pickering, said staff has made “every effort” to meet the needs of residents, such as relocating mail- boxes. But, he said a pedestrian bridge just isn’t feasible. Asked how residents who don’t drive are expected to get from one side of town to the other, Mr. Selsky said they will “have to rely on a friend or relative.” He noted residents should not attempt to cross the creek “under any circumstances. “Yes, people are going to be inconve- nienced and we’re sympathetic to that,” Mr. Selsky said. “But, it’s only for a short time.” The $2.4-million project will take about six months to complete. Fast facts What the councillors have to say The two councillors representing Ward 3, where Whitevale is located, have differ- ent opinions on the bridge issue. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues says some kind of pedestrian crossing is needed. “Since it’s going to be closed for such a long period of time, and since it’s such a lengthy detour, and since it’s a remote isolated hamlet... when you put those fac- tors together, a temporary bridge is needed,” he says. Given the unique circumstances, Coun. Rodrigues says the City should look at getting an exemption from the approvals process. Failing that, he sug- gests looking into some kind of shuttle service, to get residents back and forth. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pick- les -- who is taking a run at the Ward 3 Regional seat this fall -- echoes City staff comments that a temporary bridge would be too expensive and time consuming. “What’s important is to get in there, do the construction and get the new bridge up and running as quickly as possible,” he said. “That’s where our resources should be.” However, he is passing along sugges- tions and comments from residents to City staff and said it’s always possible an alter- native could be found. “I do think it’s unlikely though,” he noted.

The dozens of employees are divided by computer monitors rather than cubicle walls. Their groups of desks stretch as far as the eye can see, some even having swag from their clients promi- nently displayed like mas- cots. It’s no ordinary office when the founder and CEO of the company sits where the receptionist usually would. This is the best workplace in Canada. At least for a company its size. This year 360incentives topped the Best Workplace in Canada list for medium- sized businesses. To put this in perspective, Google Inc. earned the same spot for large businesses in the annu- al list put out by the Great Place to Work Institute. It’s a great feat for the downtown Whitby compa- ny that began as a one-man startup in 2008 and today employs more than 100 peo- ple. It’s also one of many software and technology businesses growing across Durham Region and chang- ing the face of the local econ- omy. The story of how Jason Atkins, 360’s founder and CEO, chose its current home is a good one. “He drew a circle around his house and says to the realtor, ‘Find me an office within this circle,’” laughs Jason King, mar- keting manager and content creator at 360. Mr. King says the CEO banked on there being a good number of people with tech skills who didn’t want to work in Toronto. There were naysayers but today the major- ity of 360’s employees are from Durham Region. “Within a very short period of time we were able to leave any question of finding local talent to rest,” says Travis Dutka, tal- ent manager at 360. “We can be here and we can attract top talent locally.” He relocated from Ottawa to work at 360 and says people in the field are “relentless” in trying to get into the company when they learn it exists. They both have stories of employees who abandoned the westward commute and found a work life balance at 360. One employee shocks his kids with how often he’s at home compared to his former job in Toronto. “He works longer hours here and is still home earli- er,” says Mr. Dutka. “He loves it because he gets to put in the time he wants and he’s not wasting time on a commute.” If someone has trouble pictur- ing a modern, thriving tech business in Whitby, Mr. King understands. To him the area has an image problem, one it proba- bly doesn’t deserve. “There’s a startup community here,” says Mr. King. “It’s not huge, but it exists.” Others in the community share that view. “We’re not a region known for high tech,” says Stacey Vetzal, founder and CEO of Mojility Inc. in Oshawa. “All our eyes tend to be focused on Toronto.” Ms. Vetzal’s eyes are focused on Oshawa. She says it offers her the kind of life she wants and there is a demand for busi- nesses like hers in Durham. It’s why, next month, when Mojility leaves its current office on Boundary Road, it will moving to Oshawa’s downtown. She’s lost employees to Toronto in the past and says its downtown has a lot going on there in terms of night life and culture. “We’re just starting to create that kind of culture here in Oshawa, which is really important,” says Ms. Vetzal, who is excited for the move downtown. “From here I can’t really help that culture but I look forward to being a greater part of the area.” Jeff Quip, founder and CEO of Search Engine Peo- ple, started his digital mar- keting agency in 2001 out of the basement of his Ajax home. Since then his company has moved to Pickering but Mr. Quip says there’s a perception a busi- ness like his needs to be in downtown Toronto, that somehow its current loca- tion limits them. In reality he calls being in Durham “a competitive advantage” which helps his employees keep “a good life balance.” His compa- ny’s retention rates are high and he tries to hire locally as often as possible, with more than 70 of his 100 employ- ees being local hires. There are hurdles, according to Mr. Quip. Toronto’s tech companies can offer higher salaries and a different lifestyle which appeals to some. “Those people are going to be inclined to leave for a few thousand dollars more,” says Mr. Quip, but his big- gest concern is trying to connect with the local tal- ent he needs. “It’s challenging but they’re here,” says Mr. Quip of the search, which often falls to word of mouth or finding people on LinkedIn. “Every once in a while we’ll stumble across someone else.” For Mr. Dutka and Mr. King, being part of the area is important enough they both say if the company was in Toronto they wouldn’t be working for it. Mr. Dutka laughs when asked if he wish- es 360 was in Toronto. “There are a few people in our office that do; it’s because they commute from Toronto,” says Mr. Dutka. “The rest of us are going ‘No thanks, this is perfect where it is.’” “I’m old enough to know what I want in life,” says Mr. King. “And I don’t want to drive to Toronto.” Tech jobs in Durham WHITBY -- Whitby firm 360incentives’s CEO Jason Atkins spoke with Dan Webster at his desk in the company office after the firm was named the Best Workplace in Canada, alongside other companies like Google. Taking top spot in the medium-sized business category, the firm is one of many changing Durham’s employment image.

SOLD BY SHIV (NC)Be gone muted colours of winter! As we welcome in warm summer tempera- tures, it’s time to brighten up our homes with sensational summer shades. And it’s easy to add a pop of vibrant colour with the help from the experts at Krylon spray paint. “Painting is a project that even a novice DIYer can feel confident doing,” said Kath- erine Merkle, brand manager, Krylon. “And with the right spray paint you can achieve results that look like they were done by a professional.” Start your summer off on the right foot with these five simple projects that are sure to make a splash. Tricked Out Toys Have the kids’ toys seen better days? Or does the hand-me-down pink bike now need to look a bit boyish? Spray paint to the rescue. With a few coats of paint, you can transform your bike from bleak to chic instantly. For a unique finish that adds just a bit of sparkle, try Krylon’s new Shimmer Metallic. Available in nine stunning shades, it creates a durable finish similar to an automotive finish for tricked out toys sure to excite the kiddos. Marvelous Mailbox It’s one of the first things guests see as they arrive at our homes, and one of the last things we often focus on – the mailbox. If your mailbox is showing rust or the paint is peeling off the pole, it’s time for an update. Whether your box is made of metal, wood or plastic, you can rest assured that you’ll achieve superior results with Krylon’s Dual Superbond spray paint. The proprietary formula offers a high-adhesion, specialty primer that ensures top performance even on hard-to-paint surfaces such as plastics, laminates and melamine, as well as other commonly painted surfaces. Plus, it offers corrosion resistance, so your mailbox update looks good now… and down the road. Pretty Patios Summer also means picnics on the patio. And luckily you don’t need to buy new furniture to make your outdoor space look new. Instead, breathe life into your existing wood or metal furniture with a fresh coat of Dual Superbond spray paint. With dozens of colours from which to choose you can create a stylish new look that will also hold up to the outdoor elements. And don’t stop with your table and chairs – add pops of colour to other outdoor accents, such as flower pots and centrepieces. Spray paint even works on faded cloth items such as umbrellas, pillows and seat cushions. Soon you’ll have a pretty patio that will be the envy of the neighbourhood. Gorgeous Grills By nature of their use, grills and fire pits get dirty quickly. But they can easily achieve a makeover with spray paint. Be sure to choose a product, such as Krylon’s High Heat Max which can withstand extreme temperature swings of up to 1200°F (650°C). High Heat Max delivers maximum rust resistance in three contemporary and stylish finishes, so you won’t just protect the grill, you’ll keep it looking designer beautiful all year long. Sassy Shelves While the warm weather offers a variety of new activities… it also means more “stuff.” To keep the garage looking a bit more organized, shelves are an excellent spot to house anything from watering cans to soccer balls. No need to buy new – an old mi- crowave cart or plastic shelves can easily be painted and repurposed to create instant organization. Start by cleaning the surfaces and then paint them with Dual Superbond to achieve a finished look. Soon you’ll have some sassy-looking shelves that will add some garage organization sanity. Who knew that it could be as simple as grabbing a few cans of spray paint to brighten your surroundings… and your mood. For more information on Krylon prod- ucts or projects, visit www.krylon.ca.

School Vision Care, a not-for-profit orga- nization, is visiting schools in the board and providing eye exams and glasses to those who need them, with no cost to schools or parents. SVC was founded by Samuel Babarinde when he worked for a large vision-care chain in British Columbia. He found many parents would have their child’s eyes exam- ined, but couldn’t afford to purchase glass- es, since eye exams are covered by provin- cial health insurance, but glasses are not. Since receiving financial help to make Mr. Babarinde’s vision a reality, SVC now has two trailers equipped for both eye exam- inations and eyeglass dispensing, and they’ve been making the rounds to local schools. “We have tested over 8,000 students, all voluntary,” said board superintendent Mark Joel, adding the program has handed out roughly 1,200 free pairs of glasses. The eye exams are covered by OHIP, and sponsors help cover costs for frames and lenses. Schools participating in the program send permission forms home with students and the eye tests are then administered by licensed optometrists. Students who need glasses can choose from a variety of frames available on site. At the time of a presentation on the pro- gram at the May 20 board meeting, 104 schools in the board had been visited. The program started in November at schools with the lowest socio-economic levels, and all elementary schools within the board are scheduled for a visit by the end of the year. Jennifer Smith of SeeHear, an organi- zation that has long provided vision and hearing screening at schools in the GTA, is thrilled with SVC, since while SeeHear pro- vides vision screening, it does not provide glasses. SeeHear has partnered with SVC to help roll out the program, and as a result, hopes to cancel its own vision screening program in the Durham public board next year. This will allow SeeHear to put more resources into its hearing program while SVC takes care of the eye exams. Ms. Smith said of the many boards she has approached to partake in the new pro- gram, the Durham public board is the only one to embrace it thus far. She hopes more boards will partner with SVC in the future. “Ethically we believe that you need to give children what they need to succeed in school,” she said. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford called the program “a win-win situation” and Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett said he’s heard great feedback. When Ajax Trustee Yvonne Forbes asked if the program will continue in coming years, Mr. Joel said the partnership agree- ment is for one year, and feedback still has to be gathered, but the board does hope it will continue.

New children’s foundation launched by Durham Catholic school board New program will help Catholic children and families in need Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board is ensuring students and families in need have access to necessities such as food, medical atten- tion, clothes and shelter with the launch of a new foundation. While staff and school communities across the board already provide some basic necessities to those who need them through various fundraising proj- ects, the school board has launched the Durham Catholic Children’s Founda- tion. The foundation will establish a more standardized procedure to co-ordinate charitable initiatives, and raise and distribute funds. “As a Catholic learn- ing community, our hearts are always open to helping children and families in need,” said board chairman Chris Leahy. “Funds raised by the foundation will allow us to continue to provide support with a co-ordinated approach that is based on a Catholic community culture and caring.” Charitable fundraising activities already in place include the Durham Catholic Breakfast Program and Christ- mas Giving Campaign. Anne O’Brien, director of the board, said the foundation will not replace existing programs. “Centrally we want to expand it fur- ther,” she said. “We see the difficulties that families are having.” She said students and families in need will be identified by the schools. The board’s student well-being and achievement board improvement plan is based on the importance of supporting the whole student in mind, body and spirit to foster positive learning outcomes, said Ms. O’Brien. “When we witness children coming to school without regular meals and weather- appropriate clothing, we see barriers and want to take action,” she said. Future fundraising events will include a golf tournament and a Christmas gala. The foundation will be governed by a board of directors, which will include senior administrators, a teacher, trustees and a parent. 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 1 8 , 2 0 1 4 17 AP Notice of Participationat a Commission Meeting The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC)will hold a meeting on August 20, 2014 during which CNSC staff will present the CNSC Staff Integrated Safety Assessment of Canadian Nuclear Power Plants for 2013.This report provides the assessment of the safety performance at each NPP,makes generic observations and identifies trends for the nuclear power industry as a whole.

Durham police officers called to the Pine Ridge cemetery at Taunton Road and Church Street around 11:20 a.m. found one man unconscious and another semi-con- scious, said Staff Sergeant Vince D’Amico. Police said a suspect posing as a poten- tial customer looking for a burial plot was being shown around the cemetery when he suddenly attacked a salesperson, inflict- ing serious head injuries. Police found both men passed out at the base of a ravine. The 71-year-old vic- tim was treated at hospital for what police described as non life-threatening injuries. A 58-year-old Whitby man has been charged with assault causing bodily harm. The man, whose name hasn’t been released, was held for a bail hearing. AJAX -- Police investigated a recent assault at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens Cemetery and Cremation Centre. One man was charged in the incident.

He hesitated briefly. Exhaled, chuckled, and then, most likely, smiled. “It sounds great,” he said. “It’s an honour to be a part of it.” The Pickering native was still in a celebra- tory mood on Tuesday, just a couple of days after his San Antonio Spurs won the NBA championship on their home court with a 104-87 victory over the defending champion Miami Heat in Game 5 of their best-of-seven series. San Antonio ran the table in the playoffs, just getting past the Dallas Mavericks in seven games to open, then beating the Port- land Trail Blazers in five and the Oklahoma City Thunder in six. The domination of Miami made up for the crushing loss a season ago in the final, when San Antonio lost in seven games to the Heat. “We weren’t thinking about what hap- pened last year,” said Joseph. “None of us even brought up last year. In the back of our minds we know it did sting. It definitely stung, especially the way we lost. “We knew we had to give it our all because we didn’t want that to happen again.” This season was Joseph’s third in the NBA. After beginning at Pickering High School where he was a part of two OFSAA cham- pionships and then finishing at Findlay Prep School in Henderson, Nevada, Joseph accepted a scholarship to the University of Texas. After his freshman year he declared himself eligible for the NBA draft and didn’t have to move too far, selected in the first round, 29th overall in 2011 by San Antonio. It’s a special group to be a part of, led by Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginob- li. “We have good character from top to bot- tom,” said Joseph. “From coach (Gregg Popo- vich) to Tim Duncan, all the way throughout. The whole organization. We are very unself- ish. We just want the best for each other and that helps us out a lot.” With such a strong cast and the presence the veterans bring, San Antonio has been one of the most successful NBA teams in the past decade. For a young player like Joseph, just 22, playing time has been hard to come by early in his career. But even with limited time, he continues to improve. “Every year I’ve made strides and got my game better,” he said. “I definitely feel more comfortable on the court as a point guard knowing everything and being an extension of the coach on the court. Knowing my play- ers and my role better. Just playing better and more confident. “There’s still a lot to learn still, but each year I’m improving. That’s what I plan on doing in the off-season is to keep improving.” As for the next step, the team was going to be honoured with a parade today. “It’s going to be crazy. I heard it’s unbeliev- able,” said Joseph in anticipation of the cele- bration. As for the next step, there seemed to be some uncertainty. He talked about the tra- dition NHL players have with the Stanley Cup, each player getting a day with it in the off-season. Joseph wasn’t sure how things were going to unfold with the Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy. If he does get to spend some time with it, he vowed it will be coming home. “We haven’t figured that out yet,” he said of plans for the trophy. “We’ll have to figure that out. There are a lot of us here from so many different countries. It will be a challenge. “I want the trophy to come back (home).” SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- Pickering native Cory Joseph was celebrating on Sunday night after his San Antonio Spurs became NBA champions, beating the Miami Heat in game five of their best-of-seven final. Joseph, 22, has played three seasons with San Antonio after being drafted in the first round by the club in 2011. Submitted photo 1%LeaseRateReduction–3DaysOnly.June19th-21st.
