Corneliu Chisu, MP for Pickering-Scar- borough East, made the announcement April 9 at the Youth Education Arts and Health Foundation in Pickering. He was joined by Peter Van Loan, gov- ernment leader in the House of Com- mons and MP for York-Simcoe. The $334,000 in funding will help the YEAH Foundation, which trains youth and young adults in employability skills, continue to help people with disabilities gain job skills and connect them with employers. According to the YEAH Foundation, 60 per cent of the youth it serves have a dis- ability. “The funding is great because it covers some of the cost that we have to assist these youth in getting placement,” said Pauline Bennett, president of the YEAH Foundation in an interview. “The sub- sidy from this funding helps employers to give them that first step through the door and train them.” The 30 people benefiting from the funding include youth and adults, while youth make up one third. In order to qualify for assistance, par- ticipants must prove they have a disabil- ity, are unemployed and not on E.I. ben- efits. The YEAH Foundation then does an assessment to determine how to get them back in the workforce. Ms. Bennett says the YEAH Founda- tion has helped 158 young adults with life skills training and finding job place- ment to date, with 65 per cent becoming employed. Visit www.theyeahfoundation.org for more information about the founda- tion.

Flustered bandit flees after botched robbery at Pickering store PICKERING -- A would-be bandit fled after an unco-operative clerk and an unwitting customer interrupted a rob- bery attempt Wednesday night in Pickering. Durham police are seek- ing a single suspect in relation to the inci- dent, at 9 p.m. April 8 at the Family Con- venience store on Brock Road. Cops said a sus- pect claiming to have a gun demanded cash. No weapon was produced and the clerk refused to comply with the suspect’s demands, police said. Further complicating the scheme was the arrival of a customer, said police. The flustered bandit fled empty-hand- ed. He’s white, estimated to be 15 to 18 years old, and is about five feet nine and 150 pounds. He wore a black jacket, blue pants with white stripes on the legs and a Blue Jays ball cap. In the wake of the incident police issued a recommendation that clerks confronted by robbers comply with demands and assist investigators by pro- viding a detailed suspect description.

Such an exciting headline for your edito- rial. It sounded so hopeful, just the sort of thing to make Pickering farmers and loca- vores rejoice. The only problem is, not one of the participating farms is in Pickering. Two of them aren’t even in Durham. The sad reality is that there is almost no fresh produce farming in Pickering. One of few exceptions would be Pistritto’s (former- ly Goodview Farms). The irony is that the largest single tract of Class 1 farmland in Ontario, perfect for growing over 200 crops, is being cash- cropped for soy, wheat and beans on the so-called federal airport lands or is being scraped away by bulldozers for our suppos- edly ‘green’ community of Seaton. The prime farmland south of Hwy. 7, expropriated in 1972, is largely lost, gobbled up by the blight of sprawl. But the federal lands are still here. And we’re still work- ing so that one day these lands will be pro- tected in perpetuity as farmland, not air- port land, and you will be able to buy fresh vegetables at a farmers’ market or through a farm share right here in Pickering. Our dream.

Patrick Brown, a Conservative backbench- er MP from Barrie, has transformed the bat- tle for the Ontario Progressive Conserva- tive party leadership. He may yet transform Ontario politics as well. When MPP Monte McNaughton stepped aside from the leadership race last week, it was down to two very different contenders. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott sig- nalled a return to the political centre after the hard-right policies embraced by former leader Tim Hudak. With her call for fiscal responsibility balanced with social compas- sion, Ms. Elliott gained the support of most of her own caucus and of federal Conserva- tive heavyweights like former Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird. She claims to have sold 34,000 memberships to prepare for the one- member, one-vote contest in early May. By contrast, Mr. Brown is a completely different animal. His campaign says it has sold 40,000 memberships, and he will also have the support of Mr. McNaughton and his followers. Mr. Brown is a social conser- vative. He supported Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth’s unsuccessful call for a discussion on when human life begins -- this, against the wishes of the prime minis- ter. He opposes Ontario’s new sex-educa- tion curriculum, saying not enough parents were consulted. He has called for income tax deductions for physicians who work in underserviced areas. In 2006, he supported a motion to restore the heterosexual defini- tion of marriage. Much more needs to be known, particu- larly about Mr. Brown, who is a newcomer to provincial politics. But both Ms. Elliott and Mr. Brown have shown an ability to over- come one of the party’s biggest handicaps, and that is its inability to break into vote- rich urban centres such as Toronto, Otta- wa and Hamilton. Both these contenders have demonstrated they can build support for the Conservatives beyond rural Ontario. They each represent smaller communities in the 905 area surrounding Toronto. Ms. Elliott’s centrist policies will play well in cit- ies. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown has made impor- tant inroads into Sikh and other South Asian communities in suburban cities like Bramp- ton; many of these supporters share his social conservatism. This is an important step forward, not only for the party but for everyone in the prov- ince. Without the ability to cross the rural- urban divide and establish itself in the cit- ies, Ontario’s Conservatives are doomed to lose every election. Whether one likes the Conservatives or not, it can’t be denied that choice is the oxygen of democracy. All Ontarians deserve a vibrant political land- scape, populated by several vigorous politi- cal parties, each with its distinct vision. All Ontarians therefore stand to gain from this race, no matter which candidate wins. -- The Waterloo Record, Metroland Media Group Ltd. S ure signs of spring The signs of spring were everywhere this past weekend. It was as if I woke up and we went from -15 C to 15 C. People were out walking. Not the December walk where they are covered head to toe, head down, hands in pockets and basically running along the sidewalk. This was a slow walk where eye contact was made and the word hello was uttered loudly. Neighbours were out taking down their Christ- mas lights. You know you live in a cold country when Christmas lights come down in April and go up in September. Motorcycles were being cleaned and revved. Kids were running around the street, laughing, yelling and chasing each other. The Masters was on and congratulations to first- time winner Jordan Speith who led wire to wire and picked up a cool $1.8 million. My barbecue was out, sitting in front of my open garage, not tucked in a corner with me wearing a hat and gloves. The Blue Jays were just starting off their season while the Leafs were ending another miserable sea- son. Our nature columnist, Margaret Carney, sent in a great column about thunderstorms bringing birds back to the area after a long winter south. Middle-aged guys were out on their bicycles, starting the warm weather off with a promised once- a-day bike ride which will last a week, if that. The windows were open and I wasn’t yelling to close them ASAP. House league hockey came to an end with championship weekend. The house-for-sale signs popped up all over the subdivision. Ladders, saws, hammers and other tools were lying across lawns and driveways while music blared loudly from every other garage. Yep, spring is here and from what I saw people are anxious to spend as much time as possible out- doors. Managing editor Mike Johnston spent a lot of this weekend indoors watching the Masters. His Christmas lights will come down next weekend. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Changing seasons I know you are, but what am I? Words have enormous power. The power to hurt and the power to heal. And some- times, when spoken in the correct mystical order, the power to work magic. Most of us are aware of the tremendous, life-altering potency in such phrases as ‘Allakazzam’, ‘Abracadabra’ and ‘Does this dress make me look fat?’ Anyone who has been on the receiving end of that last incan- tation understands all too well how danger- ous, even life threatening, its use can be. As kids, making our way through the jun- gles of childhood and the travails of early adolescence, we learned quickly to arm ourselves with at least a few of these lexicog- raphal weapons. Items that could be pulled out and orally brandished at the first signs of trouble or challenge. Two of my personal favourites were, and remain, ‘I know you are but what am I?’ and the concise but irrefut- able, ‘Takes one to know one.’ I can’t tell you how many scrapes, pound- ings and bullyings these ancient adages helped me avoid. So devilishly clever and so completely un-rebuttable were these fabu- lous maxims that the end result was like a verbal Tasing of the thug in question, leav- ing him or her in utter, tongue-twisted baf- flement. “Hey Crone! Nice pink shirt! What are you, a fairy?” “I know you are but what am I?” “Wha ... Huh?” Or, “Hey Crone! Nice Bean-shave. You look like a dork!” “Takes one to know one.” “Hey ... whaddya ... aw, crap.” I’m in awe of the precision of these phras- es. That’s really where their power lies. There’s no fat here. Every word has been honed to a scalpel’s edge. Makes me wonder who the genius was who came up with them in the first place. Whoever it was must’ve been extremely brave as they would surely have taken an unusual number of beatings during the beta trials. “You seem to be but I am also.” Nope. Punch. “I know you are but we are similar.” Not quite. Bam. “It takes one ... it really does!” Ouch. Whoever you were, fearless innovator, I and countless other picked-upons doff our caps to you and your courage. I would’ve liked to have known you, but, as you your- self are more than well aware ... it takes one to know one. Upon further consideration, it occurs to me that these retorts worked so perfectly as a youngster that I wonder why I have not employed them in my adult life. There’s no end to the ticklish situations these magic words might liberate the quick thinking grown-up from. Whether from persons of authority, the government or even sickness, I’m sure we all still feel bullied from time to time. “Mr. Crone, on the night in question you were found standing over the body with the smoking gun in your hand. I put it to you that you, sir, are a murderer.” “Takes one to know one.” And who knows how many traffic tickets could be dodged with a slight tweak to the original? “You know, Mr. Crone, you were travel- ling well in excess of the posted limit. That makes you a speeder, sir.” “Takes one to catch one.” You can’t argue with that. Finally, what about putting the power and magic of these phrases to the ultimate test? “I’m sorry Mr. Crone, we’ve done all we can but the disease has spread too far ... I’m afraid you’re dying.” “I know you are but what am I?” I’ll have to remember to keep that one in my hip pocket. That could be a game chang- er. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 5 Awesome cars from the New York Auto Show Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ STRIKE? News last week that Durham Region would be one of the board’s that could be affect- ed by a secondary school teachers’ strike led to a spirited discussion on both sides of the issue last week. Here’s what people were saying in the early going of the debate: du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Sharon Hendrikx Hudson: I think we have to be very careful with the propaganda machine here. The teachers would not be in a legal strike position if the Board had made any mean- ingful attempts at negotiation over a minimum of the last 17 days. There are rules governing this. What is SAID, and what has actually been DONE, appear to be at odds. Major League Baseball is underway and it’s been 22 years since the Toronto Blue Jays made the playoffs. Will they finally make it this year?

Injuries will determine whether the Jays can finally make it. 34% Yes. This team has what it takes to make it to the playoffs. 35% No. The Jays constantly underachieve. This season will be no different.31% The InBox People around the world celebrated Earth Hour recently, an hour-long event to raise awareness about climate change. We can also reflect on our daily energy consump- tion and to make changes to improve effi- ciency all year round. • Lights out. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turning off just one 60-watt incandescent bulb that would otherwise burn for eight hours a day, can save energy and about $15 per year. And when that bulb does burn out, remember to replace it with an LED bulb to save even more. • Make your fridge more efficient. When your freezer is nearly empty, fill it with con- tainers of water or water bottles. It’s takes a lot of energy to cool air and a full freez- er means your refrigerator doesn’t have to work as hard to keep things cold. • Unplug zombie electronics. Phone and laptop chargers, seldom-used televisions, microwave ovens and coffee makers are examples of electronics and appliances that continue to draw power if left plugged in. According to Natural Resources Canada, standby power consumption can account for five to 10 per cent of your electricity bill. •Install a smart thermostat. Invest in a smart thermostat that learns your behaviour and adjusts the temperature based on your liv- ing patterns. This will help reduce house- hold energy consumption. Source: EnerCare Home Services Exov Edate: OSSTF is not striking against their employer, the DDSB. They are organising against the provincial bargaining table, where Ontario Public School Board Association has been installed and named as employer. They, OPSBA have made a number of demands to strip elements of the OSSTF collectively bar- gained contract. OPSBA is unwilling to negotiate or change any of their demands. Many of which are non-money issues but dramatically effect the quality of education that can be delivered in the classroom. Kisten Topping: My wish is for there to be no strike and deny them the right to strike and have arbitration only. They take what the arbitrator allows and that is that. They are an essential ser- vice and should not have permission to strike. Cindy Kelly: So tired of hearing about teachers’ strikes and work to rule every couple years, it’s time for both sides to seriously sit down and negotiate a fair and reasonable contract. The kids and parents shouldn’t have to suffer. Karlee Puddister: I think it sucks, this is my first time attending school during a strike and I’m right at the end of my Grade 12 year. Lori Dervent: Mob rule. They dis- gust me. Meredith Jackson: They are not an essential service, it’s not life or death if teachers work or don’t work. And in many countries, schools don’t even exist....we are privileged to have a public educa- tion system. People don’t realize how lucky we are to be able to get a decent education here in Canada.

This year, armed with statistics specific to each community, Durham fire departments are taking on a new approach to make the importance of fire safety real. “Residents underestimate the frequency of fires in Pickering,” said Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg. “They tend to hear about the large loss fires, but are unaware of the many small near-miss events. Our firefighters are committed to educating residents about the probability, causes of fires, and what resi- dents can do to protect their family from fire.” Get Real Durham, a three-week cam- paign, will launch on April 20 and will focus on educating residents about fire safety, and fire-related problems in their communities, including highlighting impactful City and Regional fire statistics. The campaign will have two phases: in the spring from April 20 to May 14 and in the fall from Oct. 5 to Oct. 22. “It will roll out simultaneously across Dur- ham Region. Each municipality will target 1,000 homes,” said Kyle Chamberlain, a fire prevention officer with Ajax Fire and Emer- gency Services. Fire departments hope education, aware- ness, and teamwork will help reduce fire- related fatalities, injuries, and property dam- age across Durham. “The reality of fires happening is a lot high- er than they think,” said Ms. Ineson. During the campaign, select households across Durham will receive an automated telephone message from the local fire chief, who will identify fire statistics and what resi- dents can do to protect their family from fire. “If you don’t have a working smoke alarm, the chances of dying increase by 50 per cent,” said Mr. Chamberlain. The public has limited knowledge and understanding of sources and causes of fires, said Mr. Chamberlain. Firefighters will be telling residents that the No. 1 cause of fire is cooking. There’s “consistent messaging, so we’re all saying the same thing,” said Mr. Chamber- lain. Other causes include careless smoking and unattended candles. “The statistics are scary when people forget to blow out candles at the end of the night,” Mr. Chamberlain said. Rob Ermacora, a Pickering resident and police officer, has seen a lot of fires through- out his career, but the danger of fire became real for him personally when a fire broke out at his home in March while he was sleeping. He praises his smoke alarm and Pickering firefighters for saving his life. “That’s what woke me up,” he said of his smoke alarms. Grateful he was home alone, he dialed 911 and waited by an open window for firefight- ers to arrive when he was trapped in his bed- room. “They got there really quick and basically got me out of my back bedroom window,” Mr. Ermacora said. And he saw first-hand the grim reality of the aftermath of a fire. “It’s probably from $80,000 to $100,000,” he said of the damage. He recommends residents make sure they have working smoke alarms and have them tested regularly. His smoke alarm is connect- ed to his burglar alarm system, so the alarm company knew the fire alarm was going off and let his neighbours know. “As soon as that alarm goes off, they’re noti- fied,” he said. He also suggests not only having an escape plan for people who live in the house, but to tell guests about the route they should take if the smoke alarm goes off. “You don’t think about it in the heat of the moment so to speak,” he said. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority has done studies, which have found “the probability of an event occurring is greatly underestimated by the public.” “Safety starts in our homes,” Mr. Chamber- lain said. The households that are chosen for the Get Real Durham campaign will also receive an information card in the mail and a visit from firefighters. The firefighters will be going door-to-door educating residents on the reality of fires in the community, and con- ducting free smoke alarm and carbon mon- oxide alarm inspections. If required, fire- fighters will supply and install new batteries and/or smoke alarms, leaving homes fully protected. If the campaign is successful, other areas in the future will be addressed.

Released in March, the 2014 Commut- er Attitudes Survey from Smart Commute -- a Metrolinx program -- looks at com- muter patterns in the GTA and Hamilton. The survey found that the average Durham resident’s commute is 40.2 minutes, trail- ing only Toronto’s average commute of 40.8 minutes. People in Hamilton and Peel had the shortest commutes of 30.3 minutes and 35.1 minutes respectively. The car is still king for Durham residents, with 69 per cent of survey respondents list- ing driving alone as their primary commute mode, followed by 18 per cent opting for public transportation, five per cent for car- pooling, three per cent for walking or jog- ging and three per cent for cycling. Only Halton had more residents opting to drive alone for their commute and in Toron- to more people opted to take public trans- portation -- 47 per cent -- compared to 37 per cent driving alone. Chris Burke, director of service plan- ning for Metrolinx, explains that the reason behind the survey is to try to understand why commuters make the choices that they do. The ultimate goal is to divert people from being lone drivers to more sustainable forms of transportation such as using public transit, carpooling and cycling. “It’s more about trying to understand the attitudes towards them, the survey helps us target our work,” said Mr. Burke. For now, Durham commuters seem happy to drive. They had the highest rate of satis- faction with their commuting method, with 82 per cent saying they are very satisfied or somewhat satisfied. Among all the survey respondents, cyclists are happiest with their choice, with 93 per cent saying they were happy with their com- mute followed by walkers and joggers. The bulk of people who drive alone -- 78 per cent -- are satisfied while public transit users in the GTA are less so, with only 53 per cent reporting that they are satisfied with their commute, the lowest rate of any of the cat- egories. Generally the most common reason peo- ple listed for using public transportation was because it is the most affordable or conve- nient option. People who drove alone gen- erally said they did so because they had no one to carpool with, and it’s quick and con- venient. Though lone drivers dominated the sur- vey, Mr. Burke said Metrolinx is carefully considering the reasons some would switch to public transit or carpooling. “There were a fair number of people who were lone drivers who said under certain circumstances they would switch, they said if transit was more convenient and that sort of thing they would consider switching,” he said. Top reasons people would look at switch- ing included faster public transit and find- ing someone they could carpool with, transit stops closer to their home and work, and gas price increases. “For instance carpooling is an option for people which would help to lower their costs and it has the impact from an envi- ronmental and transportation perspective of making better use of the roads network,” said Mr. Burke. With respect to transit, initiatives such as 30-minute GO train service in off-peak hours have proven popular in diverting peo- ple from cars. “We’ve seen a significant increase in rid- ership as result of the off-peak service in the order of 25 to 30 per cent and it continues to grow,” said Mr. Burke. When the Hwy. 407 extension in Durham opens it will feature park-and-ride areas where people can access GO bus service to communities such as Markham. Providing bike shelter areas at GO stations and bike racks on local buses has increased the number of people opting to combine cycling and public transit. Sarah Ferencz lives in Toronto but com- mutes to her job as archivist at the down- town Whitby Public Library and combines cycling and the GO train between April and November. She switches her bike for the buses in the winter. “I leave the house at 7:30 and I bike to Danforth GO station where I board the train there, which takes about 40 minutes to get me to the Whitby GO station and then I bike up to the library which takes about five min- utes,” she said. From door to door, her trip is about an hour and 20 minutes. Living in Toronto, she and her partner have opted not to own a car. She finds she can relax on the train and likes that she can claim transit expenses on her income tax return. “I think if we purchased a car I would def- initely drive but I don’t foresee that hap- pening since it’s not a priority for us at the moment,” she said. Still, Ms. Ferencz estimates her commute would be about 40 minutes shorter if she drove. But Mr. Burke estimates with continuing population growth in the GTA driving com- mute times will keep rising. “Ten years from now there may be a mil- lion people in the area; I’m not sure that a 45-minute commute is going to be 45 min- utes anymore,” he said. Oshawa resident Joe Arruda participates in the Region of Durham’s Smart Commute program for employees. On most days he rides his bike from Oshawa to Regional headquarters in Whitby. His bike is electric but most of the time he relies on traditional pedal power. There are a number of reasons he likes cycling, includ- ing the fact that he beats traffic, it’s good exercise and it’s environmentally friendly. He estimates it takes him about 30 to 45 minutes each way and he’ll cycle in most weather conditions. “The last two winters hasn’t really stopped me except days of heavy snowstorms, when I’ll take the bus,” said Mr. Arruda. The Region has an arrangement with the nearby rec centre allowing Smart Commut- ers to use the shower, change room and locker facilities free of charge. “That makes a big difference,” said Mr. Arruda, who said he would perhaps recon- sider cycling if the facilities weren’t avail- able. For now, he’s happy with his daily ride. “It really changes your perspective on your day, it’s a refreshing way to start your day.” The long ride: Durham commutes add up WHITBY -- Sarah Ferencz, archivist at the Whitby Public Library, commutes to Whitby from Danforth Avenue on the GO Train with her bicycle. Metrolinx released its Smart Commute survey outlining how long com- mutes are for Durham/Peel/York and Toronto residents, how satisfied commuters are with their commutes and where they are going on their commutes.

Pet Valu and its customers have donated more than $3.3 million to charities and found homes for more than 3,100 pets so far. “One hundred per cent of the products and dollars raised are donated directly to pet charities, and money raised at our stores, stays in the local community,” said Julie Johnston, vice president of marketing and merchandising at Pet Valu. This month, pet lovers have three ways to help. The National Adoption Weekend will take place from April 17 to April 19. Pet Valu stores will team up with local animal rescues to help find homes for homeless pets. Pet Valu hopes to find homes for more than 2,000 pets this year. Residents can visit their local Pet Valu, purchase and sign an official paw for $1, $2, $5 or $10 -- or make a product donation to local animal rescue charities. Just by commenting, liking, sharing, retweeting, or favouriting one of Pet Valu’s #PostaPaw messages or creating their own using #PostaPaw, social media users will trigger a donation of one cup of pet food. The goal is to generate 15,000 cups of pet food for pet rescues. Visit www. facebook.com/petvalu or follow @petvalu on Twitter to learn more.

Ontario Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins announced the expert panel on health care in Scarborough and west Durham on Fri- day, a year after a prospective merger of The Scarborough Hospital and the Rouge Valley Health System fell apart at the elev- enth hour. Rouge Valley includes the hos- pital that serves Ajax and Pickering. Both hospitals say they have overcrowd- ed and obsolete facilities in their three Scarborough campuses - the TSH Birch- mount and General and the RVHS Cen- tenary - which will cost $1 billion just to maintain over the next 20 years. Last January, the two hospitals jointly appealed to Dr. Hoskins’ predecessor, Deb Matthews, to start a long-term planning study that could generate plans for at least one new hospital campus in Scarborough. Ms. Matthews’ refusal to guarantee this helped to convince TSH’s board by mid- March the merger wasn’t worthwhile. Though the regional health authority, the Central East Local Health Integration Net- work, continued to push the two hospitals toward “integrations” on a smaller scale, there’s been little progress. TSH and RVHS, for example, couldn’t agree on how to organize a regional centre for “advanced” neonatal and pediatric care. At the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough, Dr. Hoskins said the volun- teer panelists, in examining how the hospi- tals can work together, will review studies done for the merger, “building on the work these hospitals have already achieved to move things another step forward.” They will also look at Oshawa’s Lak- eridge Health, he said, in order to plan in the short, medium and long term around “broader issues,” such as what Scarbor- ough and west Durham will look like in one or two decades. Rik Ganderton, interim president and CEO of RVHS, said the establishment of the panel “is consistent with our focus on the efficient integration of services for the ben- efit of the community.” He added, “We are fully supportive of the review panel’s work and objectives. We look forward to continuing to work with all of our partners to address future health care needs in the community.” Dr. Barry McLellan, CEO of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the panel’s chairman, said the group will get to work soon, and he’s confident their expertise, “coupled with the resident perspective” will yield results. Other panelists named Friday are Univer- sity of Toronto professor Dr. Catharine Whi- teside, John Ronson, a practice leader for TELUS Health Solutions, Trillium Health Partners CEO Michelle DiEmanuele, Trish Barbato, a senior vice president of Revera Inc., StrategiSense Inc. CEO Jan Campbell and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. CFO Ian Clarke. Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles said one panel member, Mr. Clarke, lives in Pickering, and an addition- al patient representative will be recruited from Scarborough. She said Dr. Hoskins is well aware of the hospital’s infrastructure pressures, includ- ing operating rooms at TSH General which are the province’s oldest, and the RVHS Ajax site, which is “bursting at the seams.” Joe Dickson, MPP for Ajax-Pickering, also said things were moving in a great direc- tion, and that he hopes to see “something better” come out of this for all residents of his region. “As we grow, you should have the plan- ning in place,” he added. “You can’t do bits and pieces without looking at the big pic- ture.” Recommendations from the panel on new facilities won’t change the fact the Lib- eral government has already made a list of major hospital capital projects for the next 10 years, and neither RVHS or TSH is on it. Mr. Dickson also predicted the minis- try will agree “very soon” to build a new ambulatory hospital in Seaton, a soon-to- be developed area in north Pickering. “What choice do you have when you (will) have 75,000 people out there?” he asked. SCARBOROUGH -- MPPs Soo Wong (Scarborough-Agincourt), left, Bas Balkisoon, (Scarborough-Rouge River), Mitzie Hunter (Scarborough-Guildwood) and Tracy MacCharles (Pickering-Scarborough East) joined provincial Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins at the podium for the announcement of an expert panel set to study the work- ings of Scarborough and Ajax-Pickering hospitals. The announcement was made at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough on April 10. Mike Adler / Metroland Metroland Durham Region division wins national awards Canadian Community Newspaper Awards recognize industry excellence Emma Nicholls enicholls@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Metroland Media Group Ltd.’s Durham Region division has picked up several awards in the 2015 Canadian Community Newspaper Awards compe- tition. “We are very proud of the work our journalists do in Durham Region and to receive industry recognition is an hon- our,” said Metroland Media Group’s Dur- ham Region Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt. Managing Editor of Multi Media, Ron Pietroniro, received third place for Best Sports Photo in Uxbridge (circulation 4,000 to 12,499) and second place in Clar- ington (circulation 12,500 and over). “Ron Pietroniro is one of the most tal- ented photographers in Metroland and sports is his specialty so it’s no surprise to see him win two awards from the CCNA,” said Mrs. Burghardt. Jillian Follert, Metroland’s education reporter, received third place in the Best Feature Story category (circulation 12,500 and over). “Jillian Follert’s investigation into a Brooklin mom’s heartbreaking experi- ence at Lakeridge Health Port Perry New Life Centre, ‘I don’t want my baby to die’, is well deserving of recognition,” said Mrs. Burghardt. Northumberland News took third place for Best Photo Illustration, open circula- tion. In 2014, News Editor Karen Longwell wrote a year-long series, ‘Throw Back Thursday’, taking a look at landmarks in Cobourg and Port Hope. Her photo illus- trations, blending historic photographs with current day versions, “are a treat for the readers’ eye,” said Mrs. Burghardt. Metroland’s Durham division is also nominated for 13 awards in this year’s Ontario Community Newspapers Asso- ciation (OCNA) awards. Winners will be announced Friday, May 22 in Toronto.
