A new online licensing system aims to make it more conve- nient for Pickering residents to purchase a pet licence or renew an existing one. “A licence tag is a pet’s voice to call home in the event they become lost,” says Animal Ser- vices supervisor Lindsey Nar- raway. “We wanted to make it as easy as possible for owners to pur- chase or renew a pet licence.” The new system also provides an option to make a donation to Pickering Animal Services with or without a licence purchase. Donations will help support construction of a new animal shelter. Visit www.pickering.ca/pet- tags to buy or renew a licence. Residents looking for a lost pet can visit www.pickering.ca/ani- mals and view animals listed in the “Found Pets” section which displays photos and descrip- tions of all animals that have been brought to the shelter. Pet owners can also file a lost pet report online. For other more information about lost or found pets call 905-683-7575. Cheers! Pickering farmers’ market offers wine for the first time Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Town Centre Farmer’s Market kicked off its fourth season this week and welcomed two new additions -- food trucks and wine. “We want this to be a fun place to bring your family and meet the farmers who grow your food,” says Lorna Murphy, marketing director for the Pickering Town Centre. “It’s been hugely suc- cessful so far, we’re excit- ed to add these new things.” Organizers hope to host two or three food trucks each week. Smoke’s Poutinerie started things off, serving up containers of gooey poutine during the mar- ket’s opening day celebration on June 17. The other newcomer was Tawse Winery from Niagara. As of May 1, a two-year provin- cial government pilot program allows VQA wines to be sold at farmer’s markets. See PICKERING page 7 PICKERING -- Courtney Lusted from Hy Hope Farms grabbed some fresh produce for a customer on the opening day of the Pickering Town Centre’s farmers’ market. This is the fourth season the centre has hosted the market, which features more than 25 vendors offering fresh, local produce as well as baked goods, preserves and specialty food. New this year is the addition of VQA wines and food trucks. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Fostering growth in Durham’s tech industry DURHAM --It looks like something out of a Batman movie.

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.

Philippine flag raised in Pickering for the first time New group to be support system for Filipino-Canadians Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Members of the local Filipino com- munity are bursting with pride after their country’s flag was raised in Durham Region for the first time. The City of Pickering proclaimed June 12 as Philip- pine Independence Day and held a flag-raising cer- emony at City Hall on June 14 that drew more than 100 attendees. Mayor Dave Ryan was joined by Philippine Consul General Junever Mahilum-West and Senator Tobias Enverga Jr., who is Filipino-Canadian. “This was our first flag raising in Durham Region, it was very memorable for us,” says Evelyn Poliarco, founder and president of the newly created Filipino- Canadian Heritage and Resource of Durham. The group was started as a way to support Dur- ham’s large Filipino population, especially those who are newcomers to Canada. “Our goal is to become a support system. There are great numbers of Filipinos living in the community and they have many needs,” Ms. Poliarco says. The group is starting with awareness raising and hopes to soon offer programs for youth and seniors. Filipino-Canadians represent one of the largest ethnic groups in Pickering and Durham Region. Breaking into song PICKERING -- The Apostolic Pentecostal Church hosted a groundbreaking at its new location. The congregation is building a 65,000-square-foot edi- fice that will include a 1,600-seat worship centre, events centre, chapel and education facility.

Pickering to look at electronic council voting Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering could soon go high- tech to make council voting more transpar- ent. On June 16, council voted 4-3 to direct City staff to investigate the possibility of an elec- tronic voting system. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues moved the motion, saying it would improve accountability. “If you want people to be more engaged, you try to engage them,” he said, noting members of the public sometimes struggle to follow council proceedings. “It behooves us to have a much more robust system.” Under the current system, council mem- bers raise their hands briefly to vote on a matter, which can make it difficult to discern each person’s position. If a recorded vote is called, council mem- bers individually voice a “yes” or “no” answer. The motion directs City staff to look at what equipment would be needed to allow each vote by a councillor to be viewed by the public on a screen in the council cham- ber -- and allow each councillor’s past voting record to be “readily retrievable.” City staff was asked to report back on potential costs and timelines. Electronic voting systems are common among larger municipalities including Toronto, Peel and Guelph. Toronto council members vote by push- ing one of two buttons -- a green one marked “yes” and a red one marked “no.” Their sys- tem also includes buttons to indicate a ques- tion for City staff or another councillor. City of Saskatoon council recently approved spending $164,000 on new electronic agenda software that is able to record votes, while the City of Orillia introduced electronic voting using remote control devices in April. “It is important for the public to know how each council member votes on every issue before council and committee,” Coun. Rodrigues noted.

I would like to point out that skateboard- ing is no longer a small niche activity. The level of participation in skateboarding is through the roof these days and as such cities need to allocate a budget to serve every demographic of our community. The City of Pickering is in need of a new skateboard facility. Although Pickering already has one skateboard park, it is out- dated. Other communities in Durham and beyond have upgraded their skateboard parks except for the City of Pickering. As well, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa all have two or more skateboard parks. With almost every city upgrading their parks, it proves that they understand that upgrad- ing and building new parks is not a want but a need. For the letter writer, a new skateboard park might not be a priority, however, everyone has a different priority, may it be programs for seniors or cutting the grass for soccer fields. Soccer is not important to me so why waste money on that? I don’t use the soccer fields but I under- stand that money needs to be spent so that the youth remain active and healthy, which is no different than how a new skate- board park would benefit the skateboard community. It is easy to be focused on what your own needs are but luckily the City is there to look out for the overall community’s needs. Mike Behagg Pickering Pot no worse than booze To the editor: Re: ‘Marijuana has helped millions’, letter to the editor, May 30, 2014. The letter writer debunks the myth that marijuana causes cancer. We can see proof of this when we look at pot smokers from the 1960s not contracting cancer. If you are a pot smoker this should be a relief and possibly support Justin Trudeau’s endorse- ment to legalize pot. At the same time I know that smoking pot gives brain damage, but so does alcohol. If someone does not find pot they will resort to other drugs. If pot is readily avail- able then there is less chance of a drug dealer exposing you to the hard drugs. I am not for substance abuse, but I am fair in saying pot is no worse than alcohol. If controlled, tax dollars could be raised, and pot dealers will not end up in jail, sav- ing money for court costs and prison. New ideas take time, so I am curious when pot will be legal for all Canadians and not just those who use it for medicine. Brad Hogg Whitevale residents are almost halfway through a year-long closure of the vital bridge that links their community and it's like pouring salt into a wound for a City official to say this will be "only for a short time." It's been five months and it will be six more, if not longer. As the temperature rises, the anger level in the hamlet is also going up as residents deal with living in a community literally split in two. Construction to replace the Whitevale Bridge is to begin next month and last to at least the end of the year. You will recall that the bridge had to close early, in January, due to safety concerns. While residents held out hope that a temporary bridge or at least some mea- sure would be put in place to deal with the inconvenience, little was done with the exception of moving mailboxes. As a result, some have to make a 16-kilometre round trip to get to church, the community centre or the park. And let's not forget seniors and other residents who don't drive and who require care and medication. The City has long argued that a tempo- rary pedestrian bridge is impossible due to the cost, the length of time to obtain the necessary approvals and the like. And these arguments do have some merit. But as some councillors argued last fall, and we agree with them, why was this situ- ation not considered long ago and why was a temporary solution not found? White- vale's unique setting is well known and the bridge replacement has been in the cards for years. And after all, we're not talking about the Amazon River here. As someone noted, 'you could (swear word omitted) jump across Duffin Creek'. And yet a small, safe span across this creek would have cost half a million dollars? It's hard to believe. In any case, if any community in Pickering needs a pedestrian bridge, a permanent one, it's Whitevale. If a bridge isn't possible, at the very least some form of shuttle service, as suggest- ed by Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues, should have been arranged and still can be. True, people in hamlets and villages are used to looking out for one another. But this seems an egregious inconvenience that could have been avoided with some planning. Now the inevitable is happening: talk of people taking matters into their own hands to get across the creek.

There were a variety of bottles for sale at the Pickering market, including chardonnay, riesling and rose. “It’s good that we can get feedback directly from the customers here to find out what they like,” Mr. Lafleur noted. The farmer’s market was packed on opening day, as residents browsed more than 25 vendors selling produce, baked goods and specialty food. Some of the goodies on offer included local ber- ries, asparagus and garlic, meat pies made with local beef, wooden bowls, freshly baked scones, olive oils, bee pollen and soap. “I’ve been waiting for them to open, the stuff you get at the grocery store doesn’t compare,” said local senior Carol Day, as she inhaled the sweet smell of fresh strawberries. Heather Ross-Vieira treated her young daugh- ters to cookies and lemonade as they shopped for ingredients to make pasta sauce. “I like that they’re seeing where the food comes from, I think that’s important,” she said. The Pickering Town Centre also launched the annual Farmer’s Market Food Drive by donat- ing $500 in non-perishable food items, which was matched by the Pickering News Advertiser. All farmer’s market visitors are encouraged to bring a donation to help meet this year’s goal of collecting 10,000 food items.

Ever since Sophia Megan was diagnosed with leuke- mia in June 2012, a month shy of her second birthday, she and her family have been on a rollercoaster ride of hospital stays, treatments and side effects. The little girl will finish her chemotherapy treatment this summer and her mother Nicolle Georgiev wants to share the tips they’ve picked up along the way. The family -- which also includes Sophia’s father James Megan and older brother Caleb Megan -- has created a unique cookbook called I’m Full, featuring 25 healthy recipes made with healing foods. The recipes were chosen from volunteer submissions and review by a nutritionist. “There are a lot of foods that I’ve noticed have improved Sophia’s health, it’s amazing what food can do,” her mom says. For example, kids undergoing chemotherapy treatment often struggle with unpleasant side effects such as nausea and consti- pation. While there are medications to combat those problems, Ms. Georgiev says parents can turn to the power of food as well. “Simple things like ginger blended in a smoothie can help with nausea, or cookies made with dried fruit can help with con- stipation,” she explains. The book features fun facts, illustrations and jokes to make it kid-friendly. It costs $25, a portion of which will be donated to SickKids to help other children with cancer.

Brad Andrews bandrews@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It looks like something out of a Batman movie. Yet the black suit which draws the eye and spurs the imagination is not part of any movie set, it’s the product of work done by a local Oshawa start-up company. It’s one of many tech businesses oper- ating across Durham Region and part of an industry some hope could change the face of the local economy. “There’s no way to know where you’ve been hit, this lets you know. You feel the hit,” says Brodie Stanfield of how it would feel to play a game in the ARAIG (As Real As It Gets) suit. “It tells you this is really hap- pening,” adds Michael Stan- field, Brodie’s father. The two are cofounders of the Oshawa-based IFTech company and the suit they’ve created is getting their busi- ness a lot of attention. The suit is a wearable multi-sensory stimulation device meant to immerse players in the reality of a gaming world by stimulating the senses. It’s also the focus of a recent- ly announced partnership between Durham College and IFTech. The college will be working with IFTech on an applied research project designed to sup- port the company’s growth with the hope of bringing the suit to the market within 6 to 8 months. Michael Stanfield credited the Spark Cen- tre, a local non-profit organization, as “instru- mental” in involving the college in their busi- ness. His son says their business needed dif- ferent pathways for developing their ideas and the Spark Centre offered that by helping connect them with the college. “One of the goals of the Spark Centre is to make sure we connect the tech talent from the schools to local talent,” says Dennis Croft, executive director of the Spark Centre. The Spark Centre services Durham Region and Northumberland Country, with overall goals are to provide a wide variety of innovators, technology based businesses, and entrepre- neurs with services and programs to help them succeed. Mr. Croft touched on a familiar theme local tech and software businesses like 360incen- tives and the Search Engine People credited for part of their suc- cess. Namely the benefits of working in Durham Region and employing local talent. “It’s quality of life and time,” says Mr. Croft of the advan- tages to working locally. He admits there are larger salaries and greater variety of work towards Toronto but to him staying in the area is worth the pay hit. Especially for students. “There’s not as much of a difference for a student starting level,” says Mr. Croft about the salary levels. For him, keeping graduates of the schools from leaving is a part of devel- oping the tech industry locally and could lead to a raising of wages over time. “I think it’s naïve to tell people to look towards Toronto, says Mr. Croft. ”We’re hurting ourselves by doing that.” According to 2011 census data supplied by the region 143,000 people live and work in the region and 113,000 who commute outside to work. Yet 82,000 are either coming into the region to work or are self-employed. Within those numbers are probably some of the Spark Centre’s 400 clients, with Dur- ham businesses accounting for a great major- ity, Recently the Spark Centre brought a num- ber of companies to the Ontario Centres of Excellence Discovery conference. IFTech was one of those companies to showcase their work at the conference which brings together the best and brightest minds in industry, the investment community and other fields. Of the 9 businesses which went with the Spark Centre to the Discovery conference, 8 were from Durham. According to Brodie Stan- field the businesses may have come from one area but they weren’t limited to any one field of technology. He says he was glad he saw such a vast diversity of projects from the area while his father went a step further. Michael Stanfield thinks along the same lines as Mr. Croft. He says graduating stu- dents could fuel an industry in a region where, with the loss of manufacturing jobs, there’s opportunity for the area to change. “There’s a lot of creativity here,” says Michael Stanfield. “We need more of that. The area, the region, the province, even the feds, they need to take a look at the innovation here.” Some are taking notice. “We do recognize the opportunity of all the talent getting on the GO Train and heading west every morning,” says David Tuley, downtown development officer for the City of Oshawa. He’s taking part in the development of a new downtown action plan which, among other things, aims to keep talent local and support these businesses get- ting space in Oshawa’s down- town area. “These businesses are some of the best things we’ve got going for us,” says Mr. Tuley. “I’ve heard numbers where 70 per cent of these companies remain where they start up.” He refers to it as Plan 2020 and, although it hasn’t been put before Oshawa’s council yet, it would ideally study commuting patterns as well as look into ways to make the downtown area more accessible as a work space for start ups. “These companies are going to be born of the university and the last thing they can afford is land,” says Mr. Tuley. He points out the rent in the downtown is cheaper than in Toronto and businesses could put more towards research and development rather than rent. “We want them to cluster together.” “Our future is in this city, we just need to nourish it.” Tech jobs in Durham OSHAWA -- Brodie and Michael Stanfield founded IFTech, developing immersive wearable technology, in 2007. They are in the development stage of creating a gaming body suit that provides the user a more physical experience.

Voter turnout up across Durham Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- After years of steady declines in turnout in Ontario, voters seem to have bucked the trend with the 2014 election. Voter turnout figures represent the percentage of eligible vot- ers who cast ballots. Province- wide, voter turnout was 52.1 per cent, an eight-per cent increase over 2011 when 48.2 per cent of eligible Ontarians cast ballots. This was the first voter turnout increase since 1990. The lowest turnout in Dur- ham was in Oshawa where 50.8 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballots in the race that saw the NDP’s Jennifer French take the riding, defeating 19-year Queen’s Park veteran Jerry Ouellette. However, the riding saw the biggest voter turnout jump compared to the 2011 election, with a 14.7-per cent increase. In 2011 only 44.3 per cent of eligi- ble voters cast ballots. Trent University history pro- fessor David Sheinin said it’s too early to say for sure what accounted for the bump in voter turnout and the issue warrants further study. “I think it’s too early to spec- ulate, but I do think it’s poten- tially good news for the labour movement in that those num- bers are particularly striking in the NDP win in Oshawa,” he said. He pointed out the Liberals benefited from the labour vote as well. “Most unions favoured the Liberals in a kind of stop-Hudak mode,” he said. Raw numbers-wise, the Ajax- Pickering riding saw the larg- est increase in the number of people voting, with almost 10,000 more people casting bal- lots, representing a 23-per cent increase in the number of votes cast. That’s partly because of population growth. The rid- ing saw the largest increase among Durham ridings in the number of eligible voters with 7,700 names added to the vot- ers list compared to 2011. Voter turnout in the riding went from 44.8 per cent to 51.1 per cent, a 14-per cent increase in turnout. The lowest turnout increase was in Whitby-Oshawa, still a respectable 10-per cent increase. The riding was tied in 2011 with the Durham and Pick- ering-Scarborough East ridings for highest voter turnout in Dur- ham with 49.7 per cent of regis- tered voters casting ballots. In 2014, 54.7 per cent of the eligi- ble voted, with Christine Elliott holding the riding for the Tories. The turnout in Whitby-Osha- wa was the second highest local- ly. The Durham riding where Liberal Granville Anderson won a traditionally blue territory saw a 56.1-per cent voter turnout, a 12.9-per cent increase over 2011.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Cowbirds make other birds do all the work The picture was worth a thousand words: a closeup of a beautifully woven grass cup nest holding five speckled eggs. Fastened securely in a leafy lilac, it seemed well placed for stability and shelter -- a happy home, and family in the making. Except for one glaring thing -- the eggs. Three were a vivid blue. Two were noticeably larger, paler and more heavily splotched. “Can you identify?” wrote Ann Lindquist of north Whitby, who’d sent the photo. “Two types of eggs in this abandoned nest in our Korean lilac.” I called my husband, a nest expert, who took one look and said, “Chipping spar- rows. They always use hair from a horse’s mane or cow’s tail to line their nests.” Sure enough, fine hairs were wound into the bottom. I didn’t need Dennis to identify the larg- er eggs. I knew they were placed there by a brown-headed cowbird, a species named after the glossy black male’s brown head. The female cowbird is a small grey bird so plain and featureless she can slip in like a shadow and lay an egg in another’s bird’s nest in the time it takes the host bird to run for a snack. Instead of building their own nests and raising young, cowbirds have evolved a different strategy for car- rying on the species. Using cunning and stealth, they let other birds do all the work. The eastern phoebes that nested in our yard last year built their nest on our neigh- bour’s shed this spring. I was delighted when a parent finally visited our garden, attentively stuffing insects into the mouth of the baby following, cheeping and flut- tering. Then I noticed that the fledgling was already bigger than the adult phoebe. It was a baby cowbird, which hatch soon- er than their hosts’ own offspring, pushing the others out of the nest and ending up a well-fed only child. I’ve too often seen our local song spar- rows feeding a baby cowbird, but just about any songbirds smaller than a robin fall prey to cowbirds, some badly. Kirt- land’s warblers, an endangered species that nest in small Jack pines after a forest fire, were rescued from near extinction by having cowbirds in the area trapped and removed. Chipping sparrows used to be numer- ous throughout Durham Region, but where people keep feeders going all sum- mer, drawing large numbers of cowbirds, they’re disappearing. Ann Lindquist’s chipping sparrows were smart to abandon their nest and start a second brood else- where. Before European settlers started clearing forests across the continent, brown-head- ed cowbirds were confined to the cen- tral grasslands, where they fed on insects stirred up by buffalo, and left their babies in other birds’ nests so they could move on with the herds. Now cowbirds range from mid-Mexico to mid-Canada, and lay eggs in the nests of 220 species of birds.

The couple found Meye in the Sears parking lot at the Oshawa Centre when she was just a kitten six and a half years ago, exactly one year after the death of Ms. Grouette’s father, a huge animal lover. So they decided to keep her. Meye became quite comfortable in her warm and cozy home, but loved the out- doors. She started out just going in the backyard, and then tested her limits by wandering over to the neighbour’s yard. Her human parents weren’t too worried about her short adventures -- the sound of her favourite treats being shaken would summon her back to the house. “We’d shake the bag, there she comes over the fence,” recalled Ms. Grouette. Eventually, Meye would venture out to the area behind their house in north Oshawa, Ritson Fields, which includes a softball diamond, soccer fields, a pond and a small bushed area. “She loves the outdoors. You bring her in the house and she’d whine and cry and whine and cry,” said Ms. Grouette. Even though they were wary of her adventures, they had the attitude that a lot of people do: it won’t happen to us. But sadly, this animal-loving pair learned it can happen to them when Meye went outside late one night after Ms. Grouette’s husband came home from his shift. “She knew how to weasel her way and get what she wanted,” said Ms. Grouette. When the cat didn’t come back, he waited up for her, like a father waiting for his child to get home safely. “My poor husband was the one that had to hear it at 3 a.m.,” said Ms. Grouette. When he heard her awful cries, he went looking for Meye immediately but couldn’t find her. Sadly, when they checked the field the next day, they found Meye’s lifeless body, obviously attacked by another animal. They think it was a coyote. “You’re going to remember that for- ever,” she said of finding their precious Meye. Now their elderly cat, Bear, seems to be wondering where the smart and adven- turous Meye could be. Ms. Grouette said she’s seen a num- ber of missing cat posters in the area in which they live -- between Ritson and Wilson roads, just north of Taunton Road -- and feels the coyotes could be the cul- prits. “I don’t think people realize they’re this close to home, that it could happen that close,” Ms. Grouette said. She felt it necessary to get the word out and warn others that a tragedy like this could happen to them. “If you love your animals enough, keep them in or leash them,” said Ms. Grou- ette.

At its June 16 meeting, Pickering coun- cil voted unanimously to support proposed changes that would drop the total number of directors from 20 to 15 effective Jan. 1, 2015 and save an estimated $100,000 a year. Veridian Corporation is jointly owned by the City of Pickering, the Town of Ajax, the Municipality of Clarington and the City of Belleville. The changes require approval from a major- ity of the shareholders as well as approval by more than 50 per cent of the voting shares. Belleville and Clarington have already rati- fied the agreement, while Ajax opted not to. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues proposed an amendment to Veridian’s changes, suggesting the number of directors be dropped even further to 13. Mayor Dave Ryan was quick to caution that shareholder municipalities only have the option of voting yes or no to the proposed amendments -- any changes technically count as a “no” vote. He said sending it back to Veridian for more review could undo the progress that has been made. “If it was rejected here tonight...there is zero appetite to go back and redo this dis- cussion,” he noted. The amendment lost by a vote of 5-2. A City staff report says any savings Veridian achieves is a positive thing for Pickering. Veridian’s number of directors compared with other electrical utilities has been a topic of debate for some time. It has about 116,200 customers and 20 directors in total between the Veridian Corporation board and Veridian Connections 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 said in an interview that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. “We have four municipal shareholders, which is different from a lot of other utilities...some have only one shareholder,” he noted. 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 9 , 2 0 1 4 14 P CUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESK 905-683-0887 • 416-984-4332 • 905-655-0601 Visit Arnts The Landscape Supplier 4400 Halls Road at Lakeridge and Taunton (The edge of the Ajax-Whitby border) www.arntstopsoil.com Create your perfect outdoor space FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY RECEIVE A FREE MEAL WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANY REGULAR PRICED GREEN FEE! “OMJ”OH MY JULY What did you say? *Only at Deer Creek Golf & Banquet Facility.

About 300 combatants met on a field next to Ajax’s Audley Recreation Com- plex around 1 p.m. Saturday. Though the bulk of the participants were kids and teens, a few brave adults joined them in toting colourful water guns and got into the action. Screams of glee and spurts of water filled the air as they ran around and soaked each other. Organizer Matthew Trottier, a youth pastor with the Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army Hope Community Church, said they would have needed almost 2,700 participants to break the record. Still, he was pleased with how the event went. “It was great, the sun came out, every- body’s having such a good time,” he said. Rosemarie Vandeerg stayed dry but cheered on her 10-year-old daughter Danielle and six-year-old granddaugh- ter Zyaunah. She heard about the event through a friend and thought it was great. “It gets the kids out, gets them active, we need more of this in the community,” said the Whitby resident. “It was amazing,” said Danielle. In fact, the verdict was almost univer- sally positive from participants. “Wet, fun and a good tryout for my water gun,” said seven-year-old Daanish Adams of Ajax. As for his strategy, Daanish was a pint- sized sniper. “I stood in the same spot and when someone moved, I shot them,” he said. “It was really wet, really cold and so much fun,” said his friend, seven-year- old Callista Azinas, also of Ajax. Her three-year-old sister Adrianna was among the little ones who shied away from the action, saying it was too cold. The event was also a fundraiser for a new family services centre for the Salva- tion Army. Mr. Trottier said in recent years the number of people served in Ajax and Pickering by the food bank and family services has tripled. The local Salvation Army is hoping to replace its current building with a larger two-storey facility. The price tag is $4 million and Soaker- fest is just one of the many fundraisers that will have to be held to accomplish the goal. A sponsor, Pickering Village’s Alleyne’s Grooming for Gentlemen, covered all the costs for the event so Mr. Trottier said the $2 donations collected at the site went towards fundraising for the new centre. Anyone who wants to contribute can text HOPE 5024 to 45678 to make a $5 donation. AJAX -- Liam Downey took a shot to the face during Soakerfest 2014 at the Audley Recreation Centre. The Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army Hope Community Church was hoping to break the world record for most participants in a watergun fight during the event but didn’t manage to do so. It was the group’s third attempt at breaking the record, which was set in Spain in 2007 when 2,671 took part.

Natural Light Patio Covers – a cool backyard oasis After the longest, coldest winter in recent memory, it seems wrong to complain about hot sunny days. However, too much direct sun on the backyard deck can turn a relaxing Saturday afternoon into a scorching test of survival. One of the best solutions to this problem is a Natural Light Patio Cover.It blocks sunburn-inducing U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays, while letting through most of the light. Homeowners get a cool, comfortable place to relax that is still filled with wonderful natural light. A Natural Light Patio Cover allows customers to get away from dark decks and darkened kitchens, and away from temporary umbrellas that need to be unfolded and retracted between uses. NaturalLightPatioCoversarepermanentstructures,engineeredtowithstandwind,coldandsnow without showing any signs of wear.The brightAcrilyte panels are unaffected by U.V.rays and never discolour. The whole cover requires minimal maintenance. Natural Light Patio Covers have been installed in many backyards, in a vast variety of settings. They work in both small and large areas, and can be built to fit within any backyard design. That is particularly true since Natural Patio Cover teamed up with Lumon Living to offer a wider variety of structures and options. The company’s Glass Room technology creates the perfect three-season room, with floor-to-ceiling windows for spectacular views and comfort. They can be integrated seamlessly with homes, decks, and gazebos; or they can be built as stand-alone structures. The only limit to the design of Natural Patio Covers, Glass Rooms and other enclosures is imagination. If you can dream it, Natural Light can build it. The aluminum structure now comes in five colours to complement any home: white, cream, sandalwood, dark brown and black. The Acrylite panels come in two-foot widths that can be as long as 24 feet, providing maximum design flexibility. The real beauty of the panels becomes clear once they are installed, when besides blocking heat and UV they provide a sky-blue shade overhead, creating a bright and open feeling. The panels themselves are made in Germany and guaranteed not to fade for 30 years.All covers come with eaves troughs, to ensure water drains properly. They even have a 10-year warranty against hail damage. This product is very high quality. Customers are continually amazed at how solid and sturdy the structure itself is. It’s built to last and to keep looking great. The structures are not inexpensive, so Natural Light uses an integrity pricing approach to keep prices reasonable and affordable. The Company provides free estimates and has several Open Houses planned in the coming weeks to demonstrate the structures in place, doing their job, providing the perfect backyard oasis for homeowners. At Natural Light Patio Covers, seeing is believing.When customers stand under a cover, enjoying the filtered sunshine while remaining nice and cool, they are amazed.

She’ll be one of two lead singers with her classmates at The School of Rock Markham when they perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Lin- coln Hall in Chicago and Summerfest in Milwaukee. Vicky, 16, has been a lead singer since last fall. She and eight other students make up The School of Rock Markham band, The Eh Team. Each band member is between the ages of 10 and 16 and meets for 11 hours per week to practice. "It's like a family, everyone's nice," says Vicky. "We're all going on a camping trip after the tour." The group is leaving for and performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleve- land on June 24. Then they play Lincoln Hall in Chicago on June 26. From June 27 to 28 The Eh Team is rocking Summerfest in Milwaukee, the world's largest music festival, on the same stage as Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and Usher. "I'm so excited," says Vicky. "I've been counting down the days." The band plays classic rock including work from The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. "We all choose songs to perform togeth- er, then we practice to make sure our voic- es sound as one and not like separate voic- es," says Vicky. "Personally, my favourite song to sing is Black Sheep by Metric." Vicky was initially scouted for The School of Rock after performing in a sing- ing competition. Though originally a solo artist, she prefers being in a band. "Before on stage I was awkward, I wouldn't move very much but with a band it's different," she says. "We're all excited together and it's not just you on stage." Despite its name The School of Rock Markham does not offer any school credits. Vicky juggles being a student at Pickering High School in Ajax, The School of Rock, and is in a circus school for aerial acrobatics. "I couldn’t pick between circus school and The School of Rock," says Vicky. "I love both of them." For more than 15 years The School of Rock has educated students in music per- formance and has grown to an interna- tional franchise. There are schools in plac- es such as Australia, Brazil, Chile and the United States. PICKERING -- Vicky Dobson is a student at School of Rock which will be touring in late June and performing at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Lincoln Hall, and Summer Fest. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Stars coming to Oshawa for ‘a night of Comedy’ Colin Mochrie and others Durham Improv’s guests on June 28 OSHAWA -- Canadian comedy star Colin Mochrie, of Whose Line is it Anyway? fame, is appearing in Durham for the first time later this month. He and another special guest, comedy legend Peter Wildman (CBC’s The Fran- tics), will be guests of Durham Improv on June 28 for ‘a night of Comedy’ at Oshawa’s Harmony Creek Community Centre. And Mochrie will not only be a big part of the comedy night, he’ll also be sharing his expertise with local improv students. “Colin and I have been trying to find a date that would work with his busy sched- ule,” says Durham Improv owner Stephanie Herrera. “Peter Wildman is a good friend of mine so I asked him to come join us in the improv portion of the show and as a bonus he’ll be opening with music from The Fran- tics’ library of comedy songs.” Herrera, a Scugog resident, has deep connections in the world of comedy and she says Second City alumni will also be a part of the show. Musical director Chris New will lead some improvised singing at the event. Before the on-stage hilarity, Herrera has put together a workshop for her advanced improv students and members of a group she co-founded called the Improv Alliance. “People who have been studying with me for years are dying to get a chance to work with people like Colin so this is their opportunity to play with him,” she says. “It’s also part of the mandate we have with the Improv Alliance: to give opportunities to improv groups all over Ontario to learn and play with experts in the field.” Herrera has been a busy bee, bringing to Durham actors, directors, casting direc- tors, agents and coaches in her ‘Guest Expert Series’ and this show is something she would like to see more of in the future. The show is June 28 at 8 p.m. and the cost is $25. For tickets, visit www.durhamimprov. com or call 647-899-3342. The Harmony Creek Community Cen- tre is at 15 Harmony Rd. N.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Yakura sweeps podium Badminton player wins singles, doubles and mixed titles in U23 division RICHMOND, BC -- It didn’t matter if Nyl Yakura was playing singles or doubles, he proved to be one of the best in the country on the badminton court. At the 2014 Yonex U23 and Junior Nation- al Badminton Championships hosted by Badminton B.C. at the ClearOne Badmin- ton Centre in Richmond, BC, Yakura swept his U23 categories with championships in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. “This championship was an outstand- ing display of our great young athletes,” said Joe Morissette, executive director of Badminton Canada. “While we saw some dominant performances by several of our athletes, the depth of the competition was also outstanding and leaves us con- fident that many of the athletes here have the potential to reach the highest levels of international competition.” At the U23 level, top-seeded Yakura (21), who plays at the Mandarin Badmin- ton Club in Markham, did not drop a set in sweeping his way to the singles title. In men’s doubles, paired with Joshua Yu (19) of Lee’s Badminton in Markham, they defeated top seeds Andrew Lau and Andrew Wilkinson in the final. Yakura completed the sweep by partnering with Brittney Tam (16) of Markham to form the top-seeded mixed doubles pair and won the title with a three-set win in the champi- onship match. Despite having a back injury on the first day of competition, Yakura kept a low pro- file and remained positive in his match- es. Each day he encountered tougher and tougher matches, but by playing smart- er and more efficient, he managed to get through all his matches without losing. Now that the championships are over, Yakura is focused and training full time to prepare to compete at the World Cham- pionships in Copenhagen, Denmark, fol- lowed by a week of training there as well. He will then head for a tournament in Bel- gium mid-September, followed by the 2014 Pan Am Badminton Championships in October (13-19), which will be played at the PANAM Centre in Markham. His plan for the rest of the year will be competing in Asia (Hong Kong Open and Macau Open) in November. 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 9 , 2 0 1 4 24 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 No more shootouts for Panthers Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A shootout will no longer be used to determine a winner in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. And that suits the head coaches of the Pickering Panthers and Whitby Fury just fine. Both coaches, Mike Galati of the Panthers and Tom Boyle of the Fury, were applaud- ing the decision by the league’s executive to abolish the shootout format. Instead, the league will continue with the sudden-victo- ry format of four-on-four for five minutes if a game is tied at the end of regulation time. If a game is still tied, a five-minute period of three-on-three will follow. If a goal isn’t scored, a tie will be declared, with a point given to each team. “Last year we loved it. We happened to have a goalie in (Steven) Dombrosky that was pretty good at it and got us a few extra points,” said Galati, whose team won five of seven games that were extended to a shoot- out, while five games were decided in over- time. “But I think it was getting a little stale. I’m looking forward to the change. It’s some- thing a little different.” The Fury won three of five times in the shootout, and had four other games reach overtime during the past season. “I wasn’t a real fan and I think it ran its course,” said Boyle. “I love this decision. It’s a better hockey decision and it’s great for the fans. “The game is going to be decided on a hockey play instead of one on one with a shootout. I’m in favour of it.” Both coaches also agreed that teams will have to implement strategies for the new format to try to gain an extra point if a game reaches three-on-three. “We’re going to have to practise some plays now,” Galati said. “We’re going to have to practise faceoff plays, defensive zone situations. It’s a different element of coaching.” The only concern Galati expressed was adding an extra five minutes of playing time should it get to three-on-three on a weekend when a team might be playing three games in a row or three games in four nights. Another change this season will see every team in the league play two games at the annual Governors’ Showcase weekend, allowing scouts an extra opportunity to see players. This year’s event will be in Oakville. RICHMOND, BC -- Nyl Yakura of Pickering went high into the air for a return during the national badminton championships. He won the singles, doubles and mixed doubles titles in the U23 division. Photo by Joseph Yeung Ironheads one point back of playoffs with two to play AJAX -- It’s going to go down to the wire for the Ajax Ironheads. With just two games remaining in the OLA Jr. B lacrosse season, the Ironheads are just on the outside of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by a single point. Four teams are battling for the final three positions, with Nepean, Kahnawake and Newmarket all with 14 points, and the Iron- heads right behind with 13. Nepean and Newmarket each have three games remain- ing, with Ajax and Kahnawake having just two left. The Ironheads almost pulled off an upset in their lone game over the weekend, losing 8-7 in Halton Hills to the Bulldogs. Mitch- ell Gustavsen scored three times, all in the third period, and added an assist to keep the Ironheads close. Cam Mancini scored twice, while Patrick Morgan and Easton McDonald scored once and added three assists each. The Ironheads trailed 4-2 after the first period and 6-4 through two, but pulled even on a pair of Gustavsen goals to start the third. Halton Hills responded with a pair to go up 8-6 before Gustavsen com- pleted the hat trick with just one second left in the game. Thursday the Ironheads (6-11-1) will be in Clarington to face the Green Gaels (16-3- 0), wrapping up the season Friday in Mimi- co against the Mountaineers (4-13-0). 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 9 , 2 0 1 4 25 APDiscoverandcreatemomentsofjoy!

She offers these simple tips for creating meaningful interactions with kids during the summer months: Hit the road: Long car trips offer a great opportunity to talk and bond with your kids. Share memories of your favourite child- hood trips, discuss plans, play conversation-based games. Make a meal of it: Take advantage of a less hectic schedule to eat dinner as a family more often. Studies show that regular fam- ily dinners lower rates of substance abuse and depression, while improving kids’ grades and self-esteem. Lend a hand: Seek out volunteer work that you can do together, like donating time at a local food bank or doing yard work for an elderly neighbour. Helping others teaches kids empathy and makes them feel empowered. Play on: Engage in outdoor sports or other leisure activities. Playing together fosters a healthier, happier relationship with your kids. It also boosts confidence and builds resilience, which contribute to positive mental health.

In most cases heart disease is associated with fatty and stiff arteries, or atherosclerosis, due to poor nutrition, smoking and lifestyle choices. In essence, these factors damage the collagen in the arteries and they become stiff, brittle and sticky. The Solution:In 1994, two-time Nobel prize recipient Linus Pauling PhD was awarded patent # US5278189A for a unique nutritional supplement formula for reversing atherosclerosis.The most important components of the this formula are high doses of vitamin C and the amino acids lysine and proline, which are key for collagen repair.The result is that collagen and the arteries stop being sticky and regain their flexibility. Also, in the formula are CoQ10, vitamin E, folic acid, selenium, magnesium and potassium.Together they help cleanse and repair the arteries leaving them strong and flexible.Vitamin C, B3 and magnesium also help normalize cholesterol levels and help your body produce Coenzyme Q10. CardioFlexQ10™is an elite formula inspired by Linus Pauling’s research. Good for your heart,arteries, circulation, energylevelsandasafitnessnutritionsupplement.Just add 1 scoop to water and drink.
