We want it to be a friendly, wel- coming street,” says longtime resident Howard Kopstick. That sense of community was what prompted the residents to get involved in the City of Pickering’s Celebrating Sus- tainable Neighbourhoods pro- gram. This is the second year for the initiative, which encourag- es Pickering residents to work together to make the city more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. See PICKERING page 3 Full story, page 2 Striking Durham workers hold rainy rally Two sides return to negotiating table Thursday Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- While Regional councillors were inside getting an update on contract negotiations, a rally was held outside to boost the spirits of striking CUPE mem- bers. The strike between Durham Region and the approximately 1,600 members of CUPE Local 1764 entered its seventh day Wednesday. Several hundred people were at the rainy rally, held outside the Region’s headquarters early Wednesday afternoon. The rally, dubbed ‘A Fair Contract for All solidarity rally’, was held to coin- cide with the final Regional coun- cil meeting prior to the summer recess. Pauline Hopley, the presi- dent of the local, said, “How do you like us now Durham? This is unflippin’ believable.” She applauded her members for standing by the bargaining committee. “Tomorrow morning we’re at the table and we’ll get a deal.” See REGION page 8 Do more, save more with great deals!

Saad Rafi, CEO of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games Organizing Com- mittee, said the goal is to have 35,000 volun- teers for the Games, which open on July 10, 2015. The Parapan Am Games open Aug 7, 2015. To date 20,100 volunteers have regis- tered and interviews begin later this month. “We are where we thought we’d be (in terms of the number of volunteers),” Mr. Rafi said. “We’re feeling good but I’m always looking for more.” In Durham Region almost 1,200 people have submitted volunteer applications. Orga- nizers are hoping to have 2,500 volunteers in place for the Games. To help bolster regis- trations, organizers will now accept e-mails at SignMeUp@toronto2015.org. Once an e-mail is sent, the volunteer will be contacted with more information. Those who wish to register to volunteer online can still visit the website at www.toronto2015.org. “We’re just trying to make it as easy as pos- sible,” Mr. Rafi said. Volunteers will be needed in everything from pre-Games planning to senior event leadership roles. Some positions require spe- cialized skills and work experience, while others simply require a desire to roll up your sleeves and pitch in. Those who volunteer will be required to meet minimum shift requirements. Mr. Rafi said volunteers will be expected to work 12 shifts over 18 days at the Pan Am Games and six shifts over the eight days of the Parapan American Games. Shifts range from eight to 12 hours in length. “It’s a big commitment,” Mr. Rafi said. Training will be provided starting in Janu- ary, some of it online and some will be at ses- sions closer to the start of the Games. The Town of Ajax will host the baseball and softball events at President’s Choice Ajax Pan Am Ballpark (Audley Sportsplex). The City of Oshawa plays host to weightlifting and box- ing at the Oshawa Sports Centre (General Motors Centre). In Whitby, the Abilities Cen- tre will host boccia and judo at the Parapan Am Games. Mr. Rafi said volunteers will be the heart of the Games. “They will define how good the Games are,” he said. The Town of Ajax’s goal is to attract 1,600 volunteers in total as it hosts the top athletes in baseball and softball in the Americas and Caribbean. Selected volunteers could work in positions ranging from anti-doping and medical services to ticketing and venue man- agement. “Ajax is a great town, filled with proud, civ- ic-minded residents who can’t wait for the world to come and visit us in July 2015,” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said. The City of Oshawa is hoping to attract 700 volunteers and Mayor John Henry is excited for the opportunity. “I am proud that the City of Oshawa will be part of the largest multi-sport event ever held in Canada,” he said. “Volunteering for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games and to be based right here in Oshawa during Games time would be an exceptional opportunity.” All Games-time volunteers will obtain access to exclusive promotions and events, including discounts on merchandise. They will also be awarded volunteer certificates from the Province of Ontario.

They have lovingly maintained a neigh- bourhood garden at the entrance to the street and neighbours regularly help each other with snow shovelling and lawn mowing. “It makes people happy and it makes Pickering a better place to live,” says Mr. Kopstick, who writes the neighbourhood newsletter. To participate in the Celebrating Sus- tainable Neighbourhoods program, groups of five people or more register with the City and complete simple sustainabil- ity activities between March and Novem- ber. Chantal Whitaker, sustainability co- ordinator for the City of Pickering, says examples include charity yard sales, lit- ter cleanups, Neighbourhood Watch pro- grams and tree planting. “The activities are really diverse; it’s based on what people are passionate about,” she says. The program caps off with a celebra- tion event that sees the groups share their progress and vote on a winner that receives $10,000 from the City towards a project to enhance the community. The program is growing quickly. Last year it started with eight groups and 342 participants. This year, only a few months in, there are already 10 groups signed up, with close to 1,000 participants. Residents and businesses in Pickering’s Nautical Village are participating for the second year. The group is hosting two berry festivals at the end of June and plan- ning to do neighbourhood and shoreline cleanups as well as a neighbourhood walk and run event. “We want to raise awareness of this beautiful area of Pickering and keep it clean and sustainable,” says group spokes- woman Samantha Williams, who works at Serendipity, a cake shop in the Nautical Village.

The City of Pickering has some suggestions for groups that want to participate in the Cel- ebrating Sustainable Neighbourhoods pro- gram: • Create a communal vegetable garden • Plant an extra row in your own vegetable garden to donate to a food bank • Take part in a community cleanup • Have a neighbourhood yard sale or plant sale for charity • Set up a neighbourhood carpool group • Organize a walking school bus • Set up a neighbourhood book/magazine swap • Volunteer with a local community group • Report illegal dumping, graffiti and vandal- ism • Host a cycling/pedestrian safety talk in a local park • Hold a food or clothing drive • Set up a Neighbourhood Watch program • Organize a tree planting • Challenge your neighbours to a water/ener- gy/waste saving spree PICKERING -- The residents of Rainy Day Drive are participating in the City of Pickering’s Celebrating Sustainable Neighbourhoods program, which has been very successful so far in 2014. The neigbourhood has planted a community garden, residents help each other take care of their properties, they recently did a clothing drive and are planning a food drive for the fall. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Police Pickering teen charged with stunt driving PICKERING -- A Pickering teen had his licence suspended and his luxury car towed away after being busted for stunt driving Thursday on Hwy. 401. A police officer caught the Lexus speeding in the collector lanes of Hwy. 401 near Rougemount Drive at about 1:50 p.m. on June 19, the Whitby OPP said. Justin James, 18, of Pickering, is charged with stunt driving. The charge is laid when vehicles are found to be travelling 50 km or more in excess of the speed limit.

The story: The scones piled high on the table of Rob’s Good Food booth are seri- ous business. About the size of a tennis ball, they get plenty of second glances from hungry farmers’ market shoppers. The business started out as a catering company and is now transitioning to selling scones, baked goods and lemonade at farmers’ markets -- so far the Pickering location and one on the U of T campus in Scarborough. Employee Sean Taylor says the bacon cheddar scone is a popular choice. A clas- sic scone base made with butter, sugar and flour is jazzed up with smoked ched- dar, bacon and chives. “It’s very moist and very filling,” he says. “We focus on using fresh, quality ingredients and coming up with unique flavour combinations.” Other options include Swiss cheese and mush- room, double chocolate and raspberry white chocolate. Mr. Taylor says customers are equally fond of the sweet and savoury options. “There’s something for everyone,” he notes. It costs: $3 It tastes like: Breakfast in the palm of your hand.

OPG appeals court decision on new reactors OPG and Canada’s nuclear regulator seek to overturn judge’s order DURHAM -- Ontario Power Genera- tion and Canada’s nuclear regulator have appealed a federal court decision that blocks construction of new reactors at the Darlington power station until more research is done. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion, OPG and the federal government filed a notice of appeal Friday in federal court of appeal. It seeks to overturn the ruling issued in May by Mr. Justice James Russell. Justice Russell ordered a federal review panel to do more work before approving the proposed new reactors. He said plans for the proposed reactors don’t satisfy the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and cited the lack of firm plans to deal with nuclear waste as one of the deficiencies. Ontario Power Generation has proposed building two new reactors at Darlington, although the Province’s long-term ener- gy plan says they are “not needed at this time.” Several environmental groups took OPG and the nuclear safety commission to court to challenge the proposal. In addition to his concerns about nucle- ar waste, Justice Russell said the proposal needs to deal more extensively with the possibility of a severe nuclear accident. The notice of appeal asks for Justice Rus- sell’s judgment to be set aside, arguing that it contains several errors of law. -- Torstar News Services ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m Dr. Marshall Z.

Canada marks its 147th birthday and there is much for us to collectively cel- ebrate. We are among the most wealthy and progressive nations on earth. We welcome people from around the globe and invite them to join us in cel- ebrating our diversity, our unique suc- cess as a multicultural nation, and as an important tile in our cultural mosaic. We are an embracing, tolerant nation with a healthy, living democracy. We sup- port personal liberty and freedom: free markets, free speech and “free” health care. We answer the call to assist allies and the oppressed on the other side of the world; our young men and women serv- ing in our armed forces consistently do so with honour and dignity. Our education system is among the best in the world and prepares young minds for the rigours and challenges of adult- hood, graduating knowledgeable, curious and ambitious students in a range of aca- demic and professional disciplines. We offer a hand up to a neighbour when it’s needed, dig deep to fund meaningful charitable causes, provide an important and sustainable financial safety net for our seniors, and do a pretty good job of making the rest of the world laugh. We are a young nation among nations, one much smaller than many of our G7 counterparts, but we engage confidently and knowledgeably on the world stage. Here at home, we live in a communi- ty that is, for the most part, well run and flourishing. We have made comfortable lives for our- selves, we take full advantage of and enjoy the benefits of citizenship. We are patriots, but don’t go much for chest-beating, and we are uncomfortable with the notion of exceptionalism. We are Canadian. We are the red and white. We are the maple leaf. Pickering residents can share in all of the events that mark our special day on Tuesday. So raise a cheer and make some noise. The fun takes place at Kinsmen Park from noon to 11 p.m. There will be free family activities and entertainment, with the Main Stage performances starting at 7 p.m. Three-time Juno nominee Mia Martina is headlining. And to top off the evening, the night skies will be full of colour with a big pyromusical fireworks display. See you out there, eh? Happy Canada Day. Paranormal article ‘informative, interesting’ To the editor: Re: ‘Paranormal activity is nonsense’, let- ter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May 21, 2014. What? Just because you don’t believe or have not seen or felt ghosts or spirits doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It is unfor- tunate with people with closed minds that their mouths don’t follow. Where is the proof paranormal activ- ity doesn’t exist? People think their opin- ions are the right ones only but to say it is a “disservice” to us all, not everyone would agree. Some people are interested in the para- normal because of things they have expe- rienced. Some find comfort knowing that there are things out there that can’t be explained. A lot of people don’t talk about things that happen as they are afraid to because others might criticize them or label them as crazy. So, articles like this are not a disservice. If people are so disappointed with the pub- lishing of these types of articles they have a choice not to read that article. Just turn the page. Please keep those articles coming. They are informative, interesting and there are things that are unexplainable. Barbara Ann Polidoro Questions for those who run our country To the editor: I am writing to fellow Ontarians to inform them of my thoughts about politics. I have many questions for our elected and want- to-be elected politicians. 1. In Ontario, how in the future are we going to fund infrastructure (roads, bridg- es, streetlights, etc.) without taxing the heck out of us? 2. a) What better ideas do you have to raise funds other than taxes and levies that already exist? b) Have you considered val- ue-added tax and getting rid of income tax? 3. How come we require four levels of gov- ernment (municipal, regional, provincial and federal)? It creates duplication, triplica- tion and sometimes quadruple. 4. How come when our leaders make financial blunders there is no financing cost to the leader or party? I know it is the case of who created it, passed it. 5. Is the mayor of your municipality retired and receive a pension? Are we entitled to know their total income? 6. Do our CEOs of Canada’s ‘Top 100 Com- panies’ need to make so much money? How much tax do they pay? 7. What is your view for the future for a couple with two children? How do they exist on minimum wage or just above? 8. When will Ontario’s debt be paid? We own this country. Let us take it back. Robert Noel Hunt 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP JohnKourkounakis,RHN 1822Whites Rd.

The Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department 605 Rossland Road. East, Whitby Ontario L1N 6A3 Telephone 905-668-7711 or 1-800-372-1102 www.durham.ca The Regional Municipality of Durham has recently completed a study for the provision of Regional services, including water, wastewater, transportation, transit and service facility infrastructure, to service the lands identified as the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) Area.The CPDP was completed by the Province in May 2006 and required the Region to proceed with planning the infrastructure works necessary for the area. The Study consisted of three projects: 1.Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g. watermains, sewers, pumping stations, reservoirs); 2.Transportation (e.g. roads, bridges, cycling paths/lanes and sidewalks in Regional road rights-of-way) and Transit Infrastructure; and 3. Service facilities (e.g. works yard). The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011) and the Ministry of Infrastructure Public Work Class Environmental Assessment Process (as amended in October 2012) for acquisition of Infrastructure Ontario (IO) lands. The three projects that form part of the Study must meet different Schedules under the Class EA process, as follows: 1. & 3. Schedule B – Water and wastewater infrastructure and service facilities 2.Schedule C – Transportation infrastructure An Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed, which documents the planning process of the Study. By this notice, the ESR is being placed on public record for a 90-day review period. For more information, the ESR is available for review at the following locations, starting June 27, 2014: In addition, the ESR and previously presented study information is available on Durham Region’s website at www.durham.ca/cdeap. Further information can be obtained by contacting DonaldYu, Project Manager, Regional Municipality of Durham at 1-800-372-1102 ext. 3567 or by email at donald.yu@durham.ca. If concerns arise regarding this project that cannot be resolved through discussions with the Region of Durham, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a “Part II Order”).The request for a Part II Order must be received by the Minister by September 24, 2014,with a copy sent to the Regional Clerk and the Region’s Project Manager at the addresses indicated below.

The two sides were returning to the negotiating table on Thursday. “They didn’t think we had the support we did. We hope the jour- ney will come to an end tomor- row and we’ll get a fair deal for our members,” Ms. Hopley said to cheers. Fred Hahn, president of CUPE Ontario, said the strikers’ “strength and determination has been an inspiration to everyone in the union movement. “It’s raining because God’s crying at how stupid the Region of Dur- ham is for taking on their workers,” Mr. Hahn said. Katha Fortier, the Ontario direc- tor for Unifor, said, “In September, we’ll be in an election and I know people in this crowd who will pro- vide competition for those sitting in there in the council chambers.” The sticking point in negotia- tions has been the issue of absen- teeism by paramedics. During the council meeting, Matt Gaskell, the Region’s commission- er of corporate services, said the Region has done studies of other municipalities, to see what their absenteeism rates were. In 2013, the average number of sick days taken by Durham EMS workers was 14.37 days, he said, adding the average for other com- munities studied was 11 sick days. On Saturday, June 21, members of the local rejected the Region’s final offer. The day before, Durham officials made public what was in the final offer.

With last year’s champs Spain out of the picture and perennial favourite Italy also out, the field is wide open for a new champ to emerge. The game has always been pop- ular in Canada but when 18 mil- lion Americans tuned in to watch the U.S. and Por- tugal tie 2-2 Sun- day, it shows the game is reaching a whole new audi- ence. But where’s a great place to watch a game in Durham? We asked our read- ers on our Facebook page, facebook. com/newsdurham, where they have taken in games and they responded with enthusiasm and some great ideas. For atmosphere and a friendly argument or two, these places were suggested. We also combed some social media chan- nels to see where people are watching. Here are the sugges- tions: • Courtyard in Courtice • The Fox Goes Free in Pickering • Crown and Firkin in Whitby Italian Club on Simcoe Street South in Oshawa • Waterfront Bistro in Pickering • Frosty Johns in Bowmanville • Amici in Whitby • Mazza Gar- den Restaurant in Ajax • Greek Tycoon Restaurant in Whitby Upcoming games: The round of 16 starts June 28 with Brazil playing Chile and Colombia play- ing Uruguay. On June 29, Netherlands plays Mexico. Games to watch for June 26 include the U.S. playing Germany, Portugal against Ghana, Algeria against Russia and Korea Republic against Belgium. World Cup draws out ardent Durham supporters By the numbers Here are some other World Cup numbers from mapmyfitness.com:7: the average distance in miles each player can run in a game.

At the last board meeting of the school year, trustees approved the budget, which includes total expenses of $773 million. Bal- ancing the budget meets the Ministry of Education’s require- ments. “We are very grateful to staff who managed to work within a very challenging provincial funding framework to ensure we were able to meet our balanced budget requirement while main- taining services to meet student needs and improve achieve- ment,” said Scugog Trustee Car- olyn Morton, finance committee chairwoman. She said it’s wonderful to see the full roll-out of full-day kin- dergarten, which will help sup- port the board’s youngest learn- ers. Trustee Morton said she is also pleased to see a men- tal health lead position, and it being recognized as an ongoing need. “As our five-year strategic plan ‘Linking Healthy Minds for a Positive Future’ demonstrates, we are committed to promoting positive mental health for staff and students,” said Trustee Mor- ton. The budget continues to sup- port special education resourc- es, despite changes to ministry funding formulas that negatively impact special education fund- ing for the board. There is also a provision for staff release time in support of school improvement planning and implementation. Also, the budget includes advance place- ment of school-based admin- istration to support two new schools set to open in 2015- 2016 – a new secondary school in Brooklin and the new public school in Ajax. For 2014-2015, board enrolment is pro- jected to increase by 3,902, primarily due to the full implementation of full-day kin- dergarten. The elementary panel is expected to increase by 4,867 while the secondary panel is expected to decline by 965. Seven full-time teaching positions will be lost, but there will be no layoffs; staff reduc- tion will be handled through attrition. The roll-out of full-day kindergarten will require an extra 110 early childhood edu- cators and educational assistants.

Some of the most stun- ning things in nature you have to stop and look for, even when they’re already in plain sight. Damselflies, for example, which are among the most graceful, delicate insects of a Canadian summer, flitting by on gossamer wings. Like bigger, bolder dragonflies, they usually hang out near water, where males look for mates and females lay their eggs. My husband and I went on a search for damsels and dragons last Sunday, eager to refamiliarize ourselves with common ones before upcoming counts, and because it’s such an enjoyable way to spend a sunny June afternoon. We started off near the village of Zeph- yr, northwest of Uxbridge, along a wooded track we know that runs through perfect boggy, sedgy terrain. Dennis took off after some fast-flying skimmers and darners -- big dragonflies that I knew I wouldn’t have a hope of catching up with. Instead I took my time wandering along the narrow lane, star- ing down at the vegetation edging a small, slow-moving stream. And almost at once I was seeing bluets, those inch-long, tur- quoise damselflies that move slowly among the grasses, feeding on small insects or perching in the sun. Marsh bluet? Hagan’s? Azure, stream or skimming bluet? I couldn’t be bothered try- ing right away to identify them, by study- ing, for starters, the blue and black patches on their slim, segmented abdomens. I just enjoyed gazing at them, admiring these tiny jewel-like fliers, and relishing, like them, being out in the sun after our long icy win- ter. I did notice that some bluets were grey- brown all over. Tenerals -- newly emerged damselflies that hadn’t yet had their wings and exoskeleton harden, or developed their colours. Then I spotted one with an all-dark tail except for a single patch of turquoise on the very end. I looked closer and saw that it had a green thorax -- and orange eyes. Not your everyday bluet. Backing up, I fumbled with my binoculars, wanting to study it in more detail. At which point I saw the slim yellow shoul- der stripe, yellow legs, bulbous orange eyes and, when it moved, the lime-green under- sides -- a veritable rainbow of colours on one miniscule insect. Pumped with excite- ment, I made my way down the lane toward Dennis, who was carrying the field guide. By the time I caught up with him I’d seen four or five more of these blue-tipped tiny bluets. When I showed one to him, he knew exactly what the species was: rainbow bluet. He remembered finding one years ago along that very stream — the only one he’d ever seen, though he’d checked many times since. “Locally distributed south of the Canadian shield,” said the guide. We were mystified about where they had been, other summers -- was it a timing thing? -- and delighted to discover a whole colony, just by looking. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. -- Durham outdoors writer Margaret Car- ney has more than 3,500 species on her life list of birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet.

I have to reiterate that leaving pets in a parked vehicle, even if it doesn’t seem par- ticularly warm that day, can cause heat stroke and death. It’s best to leave pets at home in the cool indoors instead of taking them for car rides at this time of year if you know you can’t take them with you when the car is parked. With Canada Day just around the corner, there are sure to be fireworks exploding all over the place. As most pet owners know, these can be terrifying for many pets. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruel- ty to Animals warns dogs will often run, get lost and end up in animal shelters. When fire- works displays are planned, leave your pet at home and play music or turn on the tele- vision to help disguise the noise. Close win- dows and blinds or curtains. I haven’t used it myself, but I have heard positive reviews about the ThunderShirt, which is available at thundershirt.com. It uses gentle hugging to calm your dog or cat. In this nice weather, Fido is sure to bound toward the door when he hears the jingle- jangle of his owner’s keys for a summertime car ride. However, the OSPCA also warns pet owners about allowing dogs to ride loose in the back of a pick-up truck. Dogs allowed to do so can easily be thrown from the back into oncoming traffic. Flying debris can injure eyes and ears, and the metal flatbed can burn paws. If your pet can’t ride with you in the cab of the truck, leave him at home; it’s safer for everyone. I know dogs love car rides and they love sticking their heads out windows but this too can be dangerous. A dog’s eyes could be injured by road debris such as dirt and small rocks, as well as low-hanging trees and other larger objects. Additionally, the flapping of the ears from high-speed wind can cause long-term damage. Try cracking the window to let your dog enjoy the outside scents while remaining safe. Apparently, if you can’t resist allowing your dog to stick his head out the window, you can help protect his eyes with special doggie goggles. I’d love to see this. Also beware of things that can poison your pets. These include insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers. The OSPCA says to avoid walking your pet on lawns that have been recently sprayed with any of these chemicals since these substances, if ingested, can cause death. Just to be on the safe side, rinse your dog’s paws with water after your walk. For your own garden maintenance, use non-toxic, natural alternatives. Keep in mind many plants and flowers are toxic too. Some of the most common toxic plants are: lilies; marijuana; sago palm; tulip/ narcissus bulbs; and azalea/rhododendron. Many seemingly harmless items can be poisonous to your pet. Poisonous hazards include: toads, insects, spiders, snakes and scorpions; blue-green algae in ponds; citro- nella candles; cocoa mulch; and swimming- pool treatment supplies. Make sure you know your veterinarian’s procedures for emergen- cy situations, especially ones that occur after business hours, and keep phone numbers for your veterinarian and the ASPCA Ani- mal Poison Control Center (1-888-426-4435) handy. No, the ASPCA isn’t Canadian, but it has veterinarians and toxicologists on hand 24 hours a day and is available to Canadians. Also, keep the number for the Animal Emer- gency Clinic of Durham Region handy (905- 576-3031). It’s at 1910 Dundas St. E., Whitby and is open evenings, weekends and holi- days. For more information on toxins, visit aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control. FUNDRAISER The deadline to enter the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary’s 2015 calendar is Monday, June 30.

If they’re not safe indoors when fireworks are going off, they can run the risk of running off, get lost and end up in animal shelters. Submitted photo No matter what we tell them, some dogs won’t stop chasing those bees around the backyard. Just like people, severity of reaction will differ between patients. Some will have nary a mark, where others will swell sub- stantially. It’s the latter dogs that require some form of treatment in order to help that swelling go down. If you’ve seen this sort of reaction in your dog before it’s a good idea to speak to your veterinarian who can prescribe you an antihistamine in order to help the swelling before it is too severe. Occasionally, dogs will need to visit the vet in order to treat their reaction. Some dogs may get localized swelling in the area of the sting (most commonly the face or a paw) and some will get generalized hives. Ask the Vet: My dog got stung by abee, is there anything I can do? Written by Dr. Hillary Butler These dogs may need different medica- tions to ward off symptoms.

GETSWIMMING.CA Award winners taking the stage in Ajax June 29 Skibu, Korexion, Suppa Natty playing Durham Caribbean Festival Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Suppa Natty is arranging the music for this year’s Durham Caribbean Festi- val and says people can expect zouk, salsa, calypso/soca and of course reggae on June 29 in Ajax. Suppa Natty (Superman) says he didn’t look for a big international name to bring people to the festival; it will be all Canadian artists. “We have so much talent right here in Canada who don’t have a platform to per- form,” he says. “Our artists are just as good as international artists.” And he ought to know. Suppa grew up in Pickering and began his music career as a DJ at basement parties. Today he’s a pro- ducer, DJ/performer, manager and pro- moter who lives in Ajax. One of his clients, vocalist and songwriter Skibu, is also an Ajacian, by way of the UK, where he lived until recently. Both men are coming off impressive years. Suppa received a Black Canadian Award in 2014 for Best Promoter while Skibu was nominated for four British Reggae Industry Awards, Best Single, Best Album, Best Video and Best Male Vocalist. He’s still amazed at the company he was in and for taking home the trophies for Best British Album (Call On Me) and Best British Video (It’s Been So Long). “I was up against Maxi Priest,” he marvels, “just being nominated, I thought that was it for me.” Born in the UK of Jamaican parents, Skibu left the UK just when he’d hit a high point. You can thank his wife that he’s here now and it’s a nice story. They knew each other in the UK when they were children, lost contact and decades later re-connected. A social worker who likes writing his own music, he comes by his talent for and love of music honestly, as many of his family members are singers. Skibu says he tries to write songs “that inspire and uplift. “I try to relate my songs to what’s going on,” he says. Suppa says he’s “always had music in me.” He started playing reggae in the 80s and used to watch DJs playing, thinking to him- self. ‘I want to do that’. At parties, he’d ask a DJ if he could take over for a bit. A friend told him he had a talent for it and urged him to take it more seriously. Soon, things were falling into place for Suppa as he start- ed learning more and more about the con- cert and music business, everything from how to handle the gate to how to treat the artists. “My style of DJing is like a performance; I interact with the crowd to create sweet vibez,” Suppa says. “I’m blessed that I’ve been able to make a career and a business of doing this.” He has been nominated three times for Stylus Awards in the Reggae DJ of the Year category. Also performing at the festival are Juno Award-winner Korexion, Sandy’s Band, Mel Dube, Destiny Band, Coco Loraine, Court- ney Stone, Kay Morris, Afiwi Groove Drum and Dance, the Jaminfit Dancers and the Notre Dame high school steel pan group. The Durham Caribbean Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Greenwood Conservation Area, 2290 Greenwood Rd. (off Westney Road, just north of Taunton). It’s a family-friendly event -- and don’t forget to bring your appetite to The Food Zone. The event also features Arts and Crafts and Kids zones. Visit durhamcaribbeanfestival.com.

DEALS YOU LOVEFOR LESS Nakasuji the ultimate student- athlete Senior attack goes out on top at Limestone with NCAA championship Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com SOUTH CAROLINA -- It’s hard to distin- guish what is the most impressive accom- plishment of Todd Nakasuji in his four years at Limestone College. Athletically, he went out on top, win- ning an NCAA Division 2 national men’s field lacrosse championship as his sec- ond ranked Saints doubled the No. 7 Long Island University Post 12-6 in the champi- onship game at M&T Bank Stadium in Bal- timore, Maryland. Academically, he majored in business with a grade point average of 4.0, graduat- ing with honours, presented with an award for having the highest GPA in the graduat- ing class. The epitome of a student-athlete. On the athletic side, the Ajax native was still beaming when talking about the national championship game where the senior attack scored twice, had an assist and scooped up three groundballs. “When you’re a senior you want to leave a stamp on your legacy. It’s the last game of your career. We all had the feeling that we were going to do whatever it took to win,” he said from the school’s campus in Gaff- ney, South Carolina. “There’s no better way to go out as a senior than winning a national champion- ship.” Leading into his senior year, previous seasons had ended in a disappointing fashion. As a freshman, Limestone reached the semifinals, but lost by a goal. As a soph- omore, they took the next step, advancing to the national championship game, but lost by a goal. Last year as a junior, it was a repeat of his first year, reaching the semifi- nals before bowing out, again by one goal. This time, however, things were different. The team was a tight group, which knew when to distinguish between having fun and taking things seriously. “We knew what it felt like to lose so that was a motivator for us,” said the 22 year old, who served as a team captain this sea- son, finishing with 43 goals and 24 assists. “It left a bitter taste, getting there and los- ing. This time we knew we had to change and do something different and we were the winning team. “I think this year, more than ever, we came together as brothers. Everyone was close. It didn’t matter what class you were in, everyone hung out.” The title served as a fitting end for Lime- stone, which was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the program. The team set a record of most wins at 19 for a Division 2 champion, and added a third national championship to the mantle, having won previously in 2000 and 2002. Nakasuji, who spent three years at Denis O’Connor and one at The Hill Academy, won a number of awards this past season, including male senior athlete of the year. In the classroom, he kept his priorities in check. “I grew up always working hard in school and doing my best,” he said of the academ- ic part of the equation. “When you go to school, it’s not because of the sports. My mom’s a teacher so I grew up with good study habits and I could always get help from her if I needed it. That made it pretty easy.” For the summer, Nakasuji will be staying in South Carolina working some camps, and he’s also applied for a work visa to extend the stay. He would like to stay in the area and attend grad school. He does have a trip planned to visit his older sister Melissa in Michigan, who played lacrosse at Limestone as well. 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 4 26 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Cory Joseph influenced by Toronto Raptors Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com SAN ANTONIO -- It’s an ageless tradition in the winter for young kids to call out the name of their favourite player, and emu- late him for countless hours during a pond or road hockey game. Cory Joseph was no different. But his team, his players were a little different than most. While celebrating an NBA champion- ship with his San Antonio Spurs after taking out the Miami Heat in five games, Joseph turned back the clock, reminiscing about his youth. “My team was the Raptors,” said the 22 year old with a fondness. “I was Damon Stoudamire when he was younger. I’d be Vince Carter. Tracy McGrady. All the great players who came through that great orga- nization.” If there was ever a question about the kind of impact the Raptors franchise has had on Canadian basketball, maybe Joseph captures it. Joseph, who now resides in Texas, attended Pickering High School before heading to Findlay Prep in Nevada. From there it was one year of NCAA at the Uni- versity of Texas, and then on to the NBA for the past three seasons, a first-round selection of San Antonio. There were many a heated battle over the years in the driveway at the Joseph house- hold, as Cory and older brother Devoe, who played NCAA at Minnesota and Ore- gon, and pro in the Ukraine and this past season in Spain, went at it head-to-head. No matter the weather. “We had a net in the driveway and I would shoot with my brother,” recalled Joseph. “In the snow we would put on some snow pants, some gloves and shoot. The ball would be so dead we would have to use less dribbles because the cold would take the air right out of the ball. “We made it work.” While the family still resides in Pickering, many made the trip to Texas to take in the finals. It made winning all the more spe- cial. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I got to see some family that I didn’t get to see for a while,” said Joseph. “We all came togeth- er to enjoy this moment. It was fantastic.” GAFFNEY, SOUTH CAROLINA -- Todd Nakasuji won an NCAA Division 2 men’s field lacrosse championship with his Limestone College Saints.

Dal Colle, who turned 18 on June 20, was invited Monday to Canada’s 2015 World Junior summer development camp, the first step toward possibly rep- resenting the country at the world cham- pionships. On Friday, it’s expected the Oshawa Generals left winger will be taken early in the National Hockey League entry draft. Dal Colle, the seventh overall selection in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection, had a breakout second season with the Gener- als, with 39 goals and 95 points in 67 reg- ular season games, and eight goals and 20 points in 12 playoff games. The Woodbridge native has represent- ed Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, where he captured a gold medal in 2013, and also appeared in the 2013 Subway Super Series tournament in Oshawa this past season. Dal Colle also represented Team Ontario at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge in Quebec. Dal Colle has been projected in most mock NHL drafts to be going to the New York Islanders with the fifth overall pick Friday.

The team of seven men and seven women will be led by wrestlers with great international and multi-sport experience. “Canada is looking to follow-up Cana- da’s impressive performance in wrestling at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, with another strong show- ing,” says Team Canada Chef de Mission, Chantal Petitclerc. “Performance is a pri- ority for the XXth Commonwealth Games Canadian team; we expect great things from these athletes as the road to Rio passes through Glasgow.” Stone-Papadopoulos 19, of Pickering, will be competing in the 59kg weight class. The Team Impact wrestler is a three-time junior national champion (2012, 2013, 2014), two-time senior national champi- on (2013, 2014), a 2013 junior worlds sil- ver medallist, 2012 cadet world bronze medallist, and a 2013 Pan Am Champion- ships bronze medalist. Tzogas, of Team Impact, plays a major role in Wrestling Canada’s high perfor- mance program. He was recently a coach at the 2012 Olympics and has been a major part of the coaching staff at multi- ple senior world championships and past Commonwealth Games. For men’s and women’s wrestling at Glasgow, a new weight class system is being used. The system features six new Olympic weight classes and one for non- Olympic weight classes. This new system is a result of the various changes intro- duced by the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA). Wrestling Canada Lutte Executive Direc- tor and Team Canada Mission Staff Mem- ber Tamara Medwidsky anticipates solid results from this eager group of athletes. “There is a high level of excitement and anticipation for the Commonwealth Games by our team,” says Medwidsky. “The team, including athletes, coaches and support staff, represents some of the best in Canadian wrestling. We go into the 2014 Games with high expectations in terms of performance and anticipate that the experience gained in Glasgow will be invaluable leading towards the prepara- tion for TO2015 and the 2016 Olympic Games.” Athletes and coaches nominated by Wrestling Canada Lutte to Team Canada for the 2014 Commonwealth Games were selected following a series of selection events including the 2014 Senior Canadi- an Championships and World Team Tri- als. Canada won 11 medals at the last Com- monwealth Games at Delhi 2010 in Free- style wrestling. p i c k e r i n g p i c k e r i n g A D V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section.
