Irish teachers, principals learn from Durham schools Educators interested in literacy best practices Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham’s schools are attract- ing some international attention. A group of educators from Northern Ire- land recently toured local public and Cath- olic schools to pick up tips on teaching lit- eracy. The trip, funded by the British Council, focused on Ontario because EQAO scores and other benchmarks show Ontario is making progress when it comes to elemen- tary and secondary school literacy levels. “We want to learn best practices from other countries,” said Anthony McMor- row, principal at St Francis Primary School, an 850-student elementary school in the town of Lurgan. “Every school in Ire- land has a development plan. For ours, one of the main objectives is literacy.” Mr. McMorrow said he was impressed by the focus on problem solving and indepen- dent thinking at local schools, and also liked the use of motivational posters in class- rooms. During a tour of Fr. Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School in Whitby on Feb. 19, the delegation had a chance to chat with teach- ers and observe students in classes ranging from nutrition to physical education. Maria Hatchell, a teacher and literacy co- ordinator at St. Mary’s Grammar School in the town of Magherafelt, said she likes the “inquiry-based” learning used in Ontario schools, which allows students to be active learners by asking questions and following through to find answers. “You see a lot of confidence when the stu- dents are talking about what they’re learn- ing,” she noted. Ms. Hatchell said the trip also demon- strated the many similarities and differenc- es between schools in Northern Ireland and Ontario. For example, Ireland also has a publicly funded education system and has both reli- gious and non-religious schools -- the sys- tem there includes separate schools for the Protestant and Catholic communities, as well as “integrated” schools that attempt to bring together children on both side’s of the country’s religious divide. Ireland also offers an Irish language pro- gram similar to Ontario’s French immersion option. Mr. McMorrow said one noticeable dif- ference is that all schools in Ireland require students to wear uniforms, whereas in Ontario uniforms are only found in Cath- olic secondary schools and some private schools. He said the uniforms level the playing field. “We don’t want there to be a difference between the most affluent child in the school and the poorest child in the school,” he said. The average school day is also about an hour longer in Ireland, and the classrooms there tend to be smaller. The visiting educa- tors also noted that Ontario seems to have a more transparent education system. One thing that’s a headache for parents and teachers on both sides of the pond? Skirt lengths. “Some of our schools are looking into lon- ger skirts,” Ms. Hatchell said with a smile. WHITBY -- A delegation of teachers and educators from Northern Ireland visited Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School as part of a learning tour of Ontario schools. Retired Durham Catholic board principal Mary Curran, who started her education career in Ireland, was at the school by chance and welcomed the Irish delegation. Anthony McMorrow, Nuala Groogan, Marie O’Shea and Mary McCallion spoke with Ms. Curran about Ireland and the educational systems in both countries.

The driver was not injured during the inci- dent, which occurred after he picked up two men in the vicinity of Kingston and Notion Roads at about 3 a.m. Feb. 19, Durham police said. Police said after the driver was instructed to pull into a plaza at Pickering Parkway and Brock Road, he was threatened with knives and pushed to the ground by the suspects, who then drove off in his taxi. The car was later found abandoned at the dead end of Notion Road, police said. The suspects are described as two black men, five feet six to six feet tall, wearing dark cloth- ing. Celebrating Chinese New Year AJAX -- A children’s choir sang during a Chinese New Year celebration hosted by the Durham Chinese Canadian Culture Centre at the Ajax Community Centre. The event featured multicultural performances, Chinese-style children’s games and activities, arts and crafts, photo shows and more. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering recognized for acting on climate change PICKERING -- The City of Pickering has com- pleted the final step in a climate protection pro- gram, making it one of just 24 municipalities to have reached the milestone. The Federation of Canadian Municipali- ties and Local Governments for Sustainability have recognized the City for achieving Mile- stone 5, the last step of the Partners for Cli- mate Protection program. The program is a network of 270 Cana- dian municipal governments that have com- mitted to reducing greenhouse gases and acting on climate change. It is based on a five-milestone framework that includes setting an emissions reduction target and developing and implementing a local action plan. Visit pickering.ca/sustainability to learn more about Pickering’s involvement in the pro- gram. Correction In the Thursday, Feb. 19 edition of the Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser, a sec- tion of Durham District School Board briefs incorrectly referred to the name of a new high school opening in Brooklin this fall. The school will be called Brook- lin High School. The News Advertiser regrets the error.

Loretta Lundy Pickering Help for eating disorders Often when people imagine the average sufferer of an eating disorder, they typically picture a young female, severely underweight, but sufferers come in all shapes and sizes and are from all walks of life. Eating disorders also vary greatly in their symp- toms and associated behaviours. Anorexia nervo- sa, characterized by starvation and often obsessive exercise, and bulimia nervosa, characterized by periods of binge eating with compensatory behav- iour such a purging or laxative abuse, are the most well-known eating disorders. However, binge eating disorder, which is recur- ring periods of binge eating without any compensa- tory behaviour, affects more people than anorexia and bulimia combined. Finally, ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) is a “catch-all” diagnosis for those with disordered eating patterns who do not meet the criteria of the other eating dis- orders. According to the National Eating Disorder Information Centre, about 0.9 per cent of women will have anorexia nervosa, 1.5 per cent will have bulimia and 3.5 per cent will have binge eating dis- order at some point in their life. Men are not often considered to be victims of eating disorders but the rates are climbing. For men, the lifetime prevalence of anorexia nervosa is 0.3 per cent, 0.5 per cent for bulimia and 2 per cent for binge eating disor- der. An estimated 19,000 women and 8,800 men in Durham will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime. Sufferers of eating disorders often find it very difficult to be open and honest about their disorder because of the associated guilt and shame that can come from having a disease that many perceive as a choice. But eating disorders are the deadliest of all the psychiatric illnesses and have mortality rates to 20 per cent. Treatment options are available but limited in Durham. Lakeridge Health offers child and adult outpatient treatment, Ontario Shores offers resi- dential treatment for youth and there are many private dieticians, counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Support groups such as Eating Disor- ders Anonymous can also provide support in a non- clinical setting. Check out www.nedic.ca or www. durhameda.com for more information. Stephanie Brown Guest column Nutrition Oversight critical for Durham incinerator Several years and nearly $300 million later, Durham’s new waste management technology has literally been fired up. The controversial incinerator and ener- gy-from-waste facility is undergoing 30 days of testing that started Feb. 20, five months behind schedule, to determine if the facility is working properly. The facil- ity’s operator, Covanta, will collect emis- sions data at the end of the 30-day period for examination. If the emissions analysis indicate the incinerator is operating within the param- eters of the contract, Covanta will be per- mitted to begin full operations. If not, an additional 30 days of testing will be con- ducted. Once fully operational, the Covanta- built and operated facility will burn up to 140,000 tonnes of waste annually and cre- ate approximately 17.5 gross megawatts of electricity, enough energy to power up to 12,000 homes. In the community, concerns remain about the quality of waste that will be incinerated, as related by local watch- dog organization Durham Environment Watch. Kerry Meydam noted last week that the group fears recyclables and hazard- ous household waste could make its way to the incinerator in the absence of sec- ondary waste sorting protocols, although Regional officials counter that the residu- al garbage being used to fuel the incinera- tor is of good quality. Notable, however, is the admission from Cliff Curtis, the Region’s works commis- sioner, that a couple of propane tanks had to be removed from the test trash stream. It is in this context that Durham Environ- ment Watch must continue its monitoring in addition to that of Covanta and Region- al government officials. But let’s be blunt: Covanta’s incinerator will continue its inexorable march to full operation following the test period. It will soon be burning all manner of residual waste and producing electricity as part of the process. Durham residents can no more stop this from happening than they can prevent tomorrow’s sunrise. But everyday taxpayers, community organizations and local political leaders can and must ensure that all emissions protocols are followed to the letter, that only acceptable waste is included in the incinerator stream, and that Covanta is held to the high standards to which it has agreed as a corporate citizen of Durham Region. -- Pickering News Advertiser A moving adventure at the cottage Sometimes it’s okay not to go outside. In fact, as much as I consider myself ‘active’ and ‘outdoorsy’, I’ve come to realize that there are times and, more particularly, tem- peratures, when it’s a better call to remain well within the confines of some place with central heating and indoor plumbing. We drove up to Kathryn’s aunt’s cottage this past weekend. It’s a place we both love and thoroughly enjoy throughout all four seasons but more and more we are find- ing the solitude, silence and pristine beau- ty of the winter the most inviting time to visit. Having said that, winter, for all of its eye-popping splendour, can be a very cruel mistress. Weekending at a non-winterized, un-insulated cottage in temperatures near or just below freezing is a fun test of one’s intestinal fortitude. At minus 30 however, things get considerably less fun. One of the first tasks upon winter arrival is to fire up the woodstove. The stove is liter- ally the heart of the cottage. If the fire dies, we die. Or at least our desire to stick around dies. And again, when the mercury is hover- ing around or just below the freezing mark, things are still quite tolerable. The little stove gamely works to get the place up into what I call ‘Onesie’ range. This is the tem- perature required to allow me to walk about in the cottage clad only in my red, thermal Union suit. It should be noted that, in the ‘Onesie’ range, I am comfortable walking around in my long underwear ... I cannot speak for those who have to watch me. This past weekend, however, things were much different. With nighttime tempera- tures plummeting to minus 40, the best the little stove could do was to make livable the space within a 25-foot radius of itself. Every- thing else, kitchen, bedrooms and, most notably, bathroom, was frigid. Now, I personally like a cold bedroom. I can sleep quite comfortably in a room where I can see my breath, provided I have plenty of heavy comforters and blankets in which to cocoon myself. But I don’t know anyone who loves a really icy bowel move- ment. And I’ve asked around. Normally, with the aid of a space heater, a bucket of lake water and some anti-freeze, we are able to keep the indoor toilet serviceable. It’s a little more ‘hands-on’ than some people like, but at least it keeps us from having to make the chilly trek to the outhouse. At minus 40, however, even anti-freeze experiences serious shrinkage and it soon became apparent that we would have only two choices in terms of our ablutions; either keep the bomb-bay doors shut for the week- end or bite the Biffy bullet. It’s amazing how long some people can hold it when faced with the prospect of exposing their tuchus to a hoar-rimed toi- let seat. Thanks, however, to colon-shorten- ing surgery years ago, I am not one of those people. When nature calls I must answer, and quickly. And so it was that I found myself shiver- ing my way to the outhouse, dropping trow in the dark and reluctantly lowering my pos- terior to the ice-encrusted seat below. For some reason the image of Apollo 11 docking with the lunar module in the glacial black of outer space crossed my mind. Upon contact I screamed like a girl and then, as warm butt fused with icy seat, another image came to me. The scene in A Christmas Story where the kid gets his tongue stuck to the metal flagpole. Oh no. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column 10 Academy Awards Best Picture snubs Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll VAX, ANTI-VAX: A Pickering woman’s Face- book post went viral last month after her newborn son was potentially exposed to measles while he and his mother were at a doctor’s appointment in Markham. The post sparked a huge and ongoing discussion about the efficacy of vaccinations, and some of the myths surrounding them. Here’s what people were saying on the newsdurham Facebook page: 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP Donna Lloyd Bruni: She already lost a child, can you blame her for her frustration? School officials in Quebec are under fire for conducting a strip search on a teenaged student suspected of selling drugs. Your thoughts? It depends on the situation. 20% They are within their rights.14% Unacceptable in every circumstance! 67% Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer The InBox Leaders, Followers and Adapters There is a lot of talk on the web about leadership. But what about followers? Google “follower development“ and you will find little information out there. It may almost seem old-fashioned to be a follower in a culture of deified leaders, but the truth is, it takes many more fol- lowers than leaders for an organization to perform. In their analyses of data, researchers at PsychTests compared people who pre- fer to lead (Leaders), to those who prefer to follow (Followers), and those who are comfortable both leading and following, depending on the situation (Adapters). Here’s what they found: · 82 per cent of the Adapters actively seek out learning opportunities, compared to 56 per cent of Followers. · 88 per cent of the Adapters have upgrad- ed their skills or taken educational cours- es in the last two years, compared to 77 per cent of Followers. · 91 per cent of the Adapters recognize that even negative criticism can be help- ful, compared to 77 per cent of Followers. · 57 per cent of the Adapters actively seek out feedback from their manager, com- pared to 37 per cent of Followers. · 84 per cent of the Adapters actively par- ticipate in their performance evaluations (taking notes, asking questions, etc.), compared to 65 per cent of Followers. · 83 per cent of the Adapters report that when they listened to feedback in the past, it helped them become a better per- son, compared to 65 per cent of Followers. Source: www.psychtests.com Karen Clarke: Even if every child was vaccinated it would not eliminate the measles. People to often jump to conclusions and start spouting peo- ple are irresponsible. There have even been con- firmed cases of measles from the vaccine. Not to mention people are contagious for up to 10 days after receiving the vaccine! Nicole Mands-Cacciatore: She specifically said she doesn’t blame the infected person in the waiting room and that she doesn’t know their circumstance. She is arguing for those who are vulnerable, in her case her newborn, but also people like yourself and your children... Dina Harrow: I think her issue lies in there being many more of the “my child is pure and doesn’t need vac- cines” kind than adults who had their shots but didn’t take. I’d be pissed too if my child was exposed to something that wasn’t an issue before the anti-vaxxers started worshiping Jenny McCarthy. Christina Stewart: ...Measles were never a big thing, when I was a kid we all had it, it was a mild childhood illness that kept us home from school for a week and gave us life long immunity and protection against several types of cancer. Now suddenly Measles is being haled as the new Plague. The damage this vaccine has done immeasurable. 1. Brokeback Mountain (2005). 2. Fargo (1996). 3. The Shawshank Redemption (1994). 4.

The “closing costs” however, can add as much as another four percent of the total purchase price of the home. Closing costs can include: • legal or notary fees • land registration fees • municipal levies • surveys • appraisal fees • home inspection fees • utility hook-ups • title insurance • property tax and utility adjustments. Additionally, if your down payment is less than 20 percent of the price, you will have to pay for mortgage default insurance plus the provincial sales tax charged on it. For a $300,000 home, closing costs could range from $4,500 to $12,000. Other up-front payments that may be required include moving expenses and the real estate costs for selling your old home. Even redirecting your mail is an added expense. A complete guide to the finances of home-buying is available on the website of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada at itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

Even a brand new house requires regular upkeep to ensure its internal environment stays healthy. If you live in a house that is less than seven years old, home maintenance is also essential for preserving your warranty rights. Almost all new homes in Ontario come with a warranty that lasts seven years from the date of the first possession, and it is guaranteed by Tarion Warranty Corporation. The warranty protects homeowners from certain defects, violations of the Ontario Building Code, and major structural damage, among other problems. But to make sure your home stays covered, you are advised to perform regular seasonal maintenance. Here are some tips to ensure it remains in good shape: • Clear eavestroughs of debris regularly and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that flows around the foundation could eventually find its way into the basement. • Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly. • Fix the caulking around windows and doors and on the roof if it becomes cracked or separated. • Clean or replace your furnace filter. • Check air ducts, remove covers and vacuum dust from vents. • Investigate and identify any musty smells and odours. They are often an indicator that there is a hidden moisture problem. • In the winter, shut off the exterior water supply and drain water lines. • Install a winter cover for the air conditioning unit. • Check roofing and flashing for signs of wear or damage. • Check/clean the heat recovery ventilator (HRV); wash or replace the filter. • Clean the mechanisms of the humidifiers. • Check for condensation and proper humidity levels. By following an annual maintenance routine, you can keep your new home in top shape. Information about warranty coverage, including videos on year- round maintenance and moisture control, is available online at tarion.com. Ongoing maintenance helps to ensure that your home stays healthy and that your statutory warranty is protected.

Resident Norman Collier is currently looking for a trailer to live in. Mr. Collier and his baby goat Charlie escaped unscathed, thanks to the help of passerby Johnathon Reeve, who helped coax him out. Mr. Collier owns Wild Things Petting Farm, which is located on the property. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering pet farm owner waits for trailer following fire Norman Collier grateful for community support, donations Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The owner of a petting farm is still looking for a trailer to live in after a fire gutted his north Pickering home early this month, but power is restored in the barn and he continues to care for the ani- mals. Norman Collier, who is currently com- pleting treatment for prostate cancer, and all his animals at Wild Things Petting Farm survived the devastating fire on Feb. 3. The Pickering fire department attended the scene on Markham-Pickering Town- line Road at around 8:15 p.m. that night and, with help from Markham, Stouffville and Ajax fire departments, finally put out the fire after noon the next day. “Once a fire gets a hold of a place like that it’s hard to stop,” Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg says of the old home. Fire officials believe the fire was acciden- tal. Before crews arrived, resident Johnathon Reeve was on his way home from work when he saw the flames. Someone else had already dialed 911, so he went toward the house to see if anyone was inside. “The porch was catching on fire and that was the only way in and out of the house,” recalls Mr. Reeve. He saw Mr. Collier, whom he’d never met before, standing on the front porch, but then to his shock, he saw him re-enter the house. “He was trying to catch a cat I thought and it turned out it was his baby goat and he was running around the house,” he recalls. Mr. Collier also wanted to get his wal- let, but from outside the home, Mr. Reeve urged him to leave the house right away. “All I could do was coach him,” says Mr. Reeve. Finally, Mr. Collier safely exited the burning home, with his baby goat, Charlie, in his arms. “I had a job to get him out because he was panicking,” recalls Mr. Collier. Almost immediately after they got out of the house, the porch was in flames. Mr. Collier’s son, Chris Collier, who happened to be visiting from overseas at the time of the fire, is grateful for his father’s safety. “That’s the most important thing,” he says, thanking Mr. Reeve for his help. Norman Collier says at the time, it was hard to think rationally, and he is also very grateful Mr. Reeve was there. Although the farm was without power for a few days after the fire, it has since been restored, partly in thanks to Pickering fire- fighters who volunteered their time to help. Mr. Collier has hundreds of animals on the farm, including sheep, goats, geese, rabbits and chickens, many of which are rescues. His whole life is his animals,” says his friend Liivi Kask-Ruona. “He absolutely loves them.” The farm welcomes people of all ages and abilities, and hosts animal therapy programs for people with special needs. Mr. Collier rents the property so he is unsure of his future living arrangements. For now he’s been finding places to stay -- not so easy with a baby goat in tow. “I can’t leave (Charlie),” Mr. Collier says. “He’s too small. He gets cold.” He and his friends are trying to find a solution. “We’re trying to get him a trailer,” says Diane Peck, a longtime volunteer who set up one of the online fundraising accounts. “Then I could stay there all day eas- ily,” says Mr. Collier. In the mean- time, he and volun- teers are making reg- ular trips to feed and care for them. At least two online campaigns have been set up to raise money for him. One account has raised $12,675 so far and another has collected $1,415. Mr. Collier says he only shed tears a cou- ple of days after the fire, not out of sad- ness but because of all of the community support -- from neighbours bringing him food to friends collecting money for him to nearby farmers dropping off supplies for the animals. “This is pretty well a tragedy turned something else,” Mr. Collier says. Several options are available to help Mr. Collier. Visit http://www.gofundme. com/wildthingsfarmfire or http://www. gofundme.com/li5mvo to donate. A bank account has also been created. The num- ber is 01842 and the account number is 73-15236. The account is set up at CIBC (Institution No. 010) but donations can be made at any bank. Anyone wishing to help can call 905-294- 1730. ‘‘I still haven’t gotten a trailer and that’s about my only complaint in the world really.’ Norman Collier, fire survivor � � �� 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 18 AP Trends show hike in part-time, contract, temporary work, and rise of the self-employed Leeanna McLean lmclean@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- There is no doubt that part- time workforce trends are climbing. According to an analysis of labour force survey data conducted by political scien- tist Leah Vosko, 18 per cent of employees in the province are part-timers. With a popu- lation of about 650,000 living in Durham, the region’s employment survey results for 2014 show that there are just over 114,300 full-time jobs, 49,000 part time and just over 7,000 seasonal. Durham Workforce Authority uses the Oshawa census metropolitan area as a proxy for measuring data in the region. Between 2001 and 2014, DAW has seen an increase of 11,000 people working part- time. The labour force survey shows that people cite personal preference, going to school and business conditions as the top three reasons for why they are not working full-time. “The trend has changed in the last few years; you have a trend where employers no longer hire someone to do their job, they just kind of contract it out. You have a lot of independent contractors who are self- employed but are working for a compa- ny, doing a job that in the past would have been a full-time job for the company,” says Kasia Chojecki, manager strategic initia- tives for the Region. While full-time work may not be as strong as it once was, self-employment has risen dramatically both nationally and locally. “I think that people are probably start- ing to look at their own businesses for their own security,” says Heather McMillan, DWA executive director. DWA’s analysis indicates the majority of employer growth between June 2013 and June 2014 is from those with fewer than 49 employees. While 90 per cent of small firms have nine or fewer employees, 57 per cent have none. Although this may seem alarm- ing at first, Ms. McMillan says this is not unusual. “Entrepreneurship has become an important piece of our economy, nation- ally, provincially and locally. We are follow- ing a national trend. It’s not a shocker, it’s not a surprise ... When I look at these num- bers, and I look at small business, I start to say what are those people adding? If it’s a mom-and-pop shop and we had a prepon- derance of small business that aren’t grow- ing our economy, I would be concerned. But really and truly we find that they are in professional, scientific, technical, specialty trade and health-care services, which are right on trend with the priority sectors that have been identified by the Region of Dur- ham.” But Durham Region Labour Council pres- ident Jim Freeman says sole proprietorship is a “disturbing trend. “I think for the most part, a lot of the peo- ple who are self-employed don’t want to be self-employed. That just seems to be the new category that the government wants to lump everyone into. Self-employed can be anything from a person who cuts grass and clears driveways to someone who sells stocks and bonds. It’s almost a catch-all,” he says. “I think for the most part, most people who are self-employed are self-employed because that’s the only choice they have.” It was a choice entrepreneur Brian Caic- co says he made in 2010 after he felt he was outworking his superiors. He is now the CEO and founder of Whitby’s DT Media. While completing his degree at Guelph University in landscape architecture, he would often work for others as an indepen- dent contractor. Upon graduating in 2009, he worked as a freelancer for a landscape architecture firm but would often build websites during his free time, he says. After six months, he decided to take a leap of faith and start his own company. DT Media, a web design studio, was born in 2011. Mr. Caicco has partnered with cli- ents near and far, working with companies like 1-800 Flowers in the United States and most recently locally, with Spark Centre and Durham Region on the new Durham Innovation Technology Portal. After six months of being self-employed, Mr. Caicco ran out of funds. He picked up a contract position with Toronto company Social Game Universe while working on DT Media on the side. About three months later, he had built up enough clients at DT Media to keep him going full-time. “I haven’t looked back since,” he says. Mr. Caicco has five employees working for him, one full-time, one working while in school and two employed through the Youth Employment Readiness Program, designed to benefit young people between the ages of 18 and 30 through wage subsi- dies. “It’s challenging, because my goal is to provide as much full-time salary work as possible. It’s actually very high on my list of things that I want to accomplish over the next year,” says Mr. Caicco. He says he is not a fan of companies who hire employees on contract and then pro- vide them with full-time hours. He plans on having at least four of his employees on full-time salary with benefits by the end of the year. “A lot of the reason is because they don’t want to pay CPP, EI and vacation pay. What I can’t stand about that is they are effective- ly stealing from society for not paying into those systems that are crucial, critical for our society,” he says. “It really bothers me when you hear things like people working under the minimum requirement for ben- efits because their employer caps them at that. Stuff like that drives me crazy. I’m actively doing my absolute best to have that scenario not happen here. They (employ- ees) are my greatest resource, we couldn’t operate without them, so why would I try to make their life more difficult?” Mr. Caicco says although being self- employed has come with its perks, it also brings many challenges. Although he had been working since 2009, paying rent, saving and had a 10-per cent downpayment ready to purchase a home, he and his wife had a hard time at the bank because they lacked verifiable income. Mr. Caicco says because he is self- employed he does not receive T4 state- ments and that’s what he needed. “Whether it be applying for a mortgage, car loan, all of the institutions that pro- vide financing and credit are looking for verifiable income but more and more peo- ple don’t have that because of the self- employed practices or these contract posi- tions that are created. It’s extremely frus- trating. I had to get a co-signer and not a lot of people have that option.” Employment landscape shifts in Durham Region WHITBY -- Brian Caicco is the CEO and founder of DT Media, a web design agency based in Whitby. Small businesses and self-employment are on the rise throughout Durham Region.

V!VA Pi ckering’s H ealth &Wellne ss Fair Drivers should be cautious as extreme temperatures cause manhole covers to sink DURHAM -- The Region of Durham is reminding motorists to be careful when approaching manholes throughout Durham. Due to extreme temperatures this win- ter, there has been significant pavement heaving, resulting in sunken maintenance hole or manhole covers on regional roads. Manhole covers have deep foundations, located below the frost line, and do not heave with the pavement, due to tempera- ture fluctuations. They cannot be patched the way potholes can, as material will not bond to cast iron. Plus, workers still need access to them. The Region’s works department says the roads should settle back to original ele- vation with warmer spring temperatures. Sunken manhole covers are not the same as potholes. Residents with concerns about potholes on Regional roads should contact their local Durham Region works department Depot. Depot contact informa- tion is available at www.durham.ca/depots . 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 • Fe b r u a r y 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 20 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Panthers on outside looking in at Jr. A playoffs Paul Coffey unsure of role with team next season, but plans to stay Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- With the regular season now completed, the Pickering Panthers can get an early start on preparations for next season. After a promising start to the season, the Panthers are on the outside as the Ontario Junior Hockey League begins its second season this week. A ninth-place finish in the North-East Conference left them shy of earning a coveted spot in the playoffs. The Panthers split their final two games of the season over the weekend, defeat- ing Milton 6-1 at home Friday, Feb. 20 before closing out a 20-26-1-7 campaign with a 9-4 road loss to the Toronto Jr. Canadiens Saturday. The team endured some turmoil this season, with the firing of GM/head coach Mike Galati who had the team off to an 8-4-1-3 start. He was replaced with Hockey Hall of Fame defenceman Paul Coffey, who assumed both roles. Some players loyal to Galati left the team, while others were traded. With just a couple of weeks left in the season, the Panthers hired Andrew Moore, a former assistant GM and scout with the Whitby Fury, as the club’s new GM. In looking back on the season, Coffey felt the team made some progress. “I’m not frustrated at all,” he said. “I try to coach incrementally and see which guys are getting better. I think for the most part a lot of our guys got better. “It’s too bad we had a bunch of guys jump ship early. I think if we had a full squad we could have done better. For the guys that stuck it out, especially our older guys, I feel sorry for them. Playoffs is a big thing. I tell you what, they’ve all competed hard. They are all talking to CIS schools. If anything, they are going to become good young players.” After the change behind the bench, the Panthers lost nine of 10 before settling in. With a couple of wins to open Febru- ary, they were in the thick of the playoff race with Newmarket and Wellington, challenging for a seventh or eighth seed. But losses in the next four eliminated the Panthers from the equation. Now preparations begin for next sea- son, with details for a spring prospect camp April 18-19 on the club’s website. The mandate is to build a team with strong local connections. “I still believe in the product here,” said Coffey. “I think the important thing is to get the local kids going here as much as we can. “Only one team can win. Are we going to be a Trenton or Cobourg? At some point hopefully, but we’ll see.” As for Coffey’s future with the hock- ey club, he vows to be involved in some capacity. At one point nearing the end of the season he committed to coming back as the coach, but he wasn’t as definitive at season’s end. “Yeah I think so,” he said when asked about returning as the head coach, before bouncing around it a bit. “I chat- ted about it a little bit with my wife and my kid. I think so. I’ll be involved one way or another. Whether I coach or not. I do enjoy it. I like it. At some point maybe somebody else. I don’t know. “I seem to have a pretty good rapport with the kids so we’ll see where it goes.” He added that he will sit down with owner Steve Tuchner and Moore to figure out what’s best for the organization, as they attempt to build from the top down. Regardless of his title, Coffey did say he was looking forward to being involved in the process right from the beginning in the spring as opposed to coming on board 16 games into the season. “It would be nice to see who is interest- ed. That’s always exciting when you put your letters out and invite these kids to the rookie camp,” he said. You like kids to come. Kids that want to play and kids that know they are going to get a chance to play and get better. It will be interest- ing to see what we can draw.” PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Riley Devine skated with the puck during Ontario Junior Hockey League action against the Milton Icehawks at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers won the game 6-1, but did not qualify for the the playoffs. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Speed Academy travels to Ohio for competition PICKERING -- The Speed Academy Athlet- ics Club traveled to Ohio to compete against some of the top high school track athletes in the United States at the Spire High School Showcase. The club returned from Ohio with a total of 11 medals. Mariam Abdul-Rashid of Oshawa led the way, winning the 60m hur- dles and the 200m. Alanna Hendricks from Pickering and Divina Henry from Ajax were also victorious in the girls’ 60m and 400m respectively. Xahria Santiago of Ajax and Ebhani Blackwood took home silver medals the 200m and 400m respectively. The four- some later teamed-up in the 4x400m relay to win gold. On the boys’ side, high jumpers Leau- gen Fray snatched a gold medal and his teamate Micha Peters finished with the sil- ver medal. Cole Norton also mounted the podium, capturing a bronze medal in the boys’ 60m. The Speed Academy high schoolers will resume training in preparation for the Ontario junior championships on March 7-8, and they will conclude the indoor season with the US High School Indoor Nationals in New York City, March 13-15. Pickering Swim Club strong at Central Region meet ETOBICOKE -- A record 45 Pickering Swim Club athletes qualified for the Central Region short course championships held at the Etobicoke Olympium, producing 143 best times. Jenna Stokes took off the most time (48.87 seconds) in her individual events, as well as winning the high-point award for 14-year-old females.
