Facebook Canada visits Pickering to promote Small Business Boost Attendees learn how to use Facebook to its full potential Emma Nicholls enicholls@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Facebook Canada held its Small Business Boost Friday with a crowd of more than 500 people at the Pickering Recreation Complex, there to learn how small business owners can use Facebook to its full potential. The May 1 event was the fourth stop in a cross-country roadshow which started Jan. 20 in British Columbia, and Pickering was the only stop in Ontario. “It’s a very special day for us,” said Tony Doyle, a director of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, which hosted the event. “An international presence of Facebook to come to this community is a fantastic opportunity.” The event was scheduled for a 9:30 a.m. start, but things got underway just after 10 a.m. with speeches from Jordan Banks, global head of vertical strategy and man- aging director for Facebook Canada, Chris Alexander, MP of Ajax-Pickering and Mr. Doyle. Several businesses had tables around the outside of the room with pamphlets and information about their services. “We’re here in capacity of bringing awareness to employers about our amaz- ing students,” said Louise Stiles, career ser- vices outreach co-ordinator at Durham College. “There were over 500 people reg- istered (for the event) and it looks like it’s a full house.” For about an hour, Alison Twiner, Face- book group director of global marketing solutions, spoke to the crowd about how to make their business Facebook pages work for them. “When you couple content with target- ing, you’re going to build posts that yield good results,” she explained in her slide- show. “Sometimes your space can be just as engaging as the items that you sell. It’ll show people what to expect when they visit your store.” Ms. Twiner presented her slideshow with tips, ideas and a basic how-to for busi- nesses in Durham Region to use Facebook to connect with their audiences through the social media platform, before inviting three local business owners on stage. Shazia Chohan, owner of Zeyver, a bou- tique-style jewelry line inspired by Kun- dan jewelry, spoke first. “I decided to get into business when I had my third child and a nine-to-five job option wasn’t an option for me. I needed something that allowed me a little bit more versatility and allowed me to have some time with my children,” she said. “There- fore I started on Facebook.” The three entrepreneurs spoke at length regarding their experiences with the social media site, and answered questions from the crowd. Ian Baird, owner of Terre Bleu Laven- der Farm in Milton, said he and his fam- ily came up with the idea to grow lavender, which is not seen much in Canada. “Facebook has really built it into quite a business,” he said. “We have actually stuck to it religiously such that we don’t adver- tise anything other than Facebook today.” For some small business owners in Dur- ham Region, it can be a tough market to break into. According to Statistics Canada, 90 per cent of all firms in Durham Region have nine or fewer employees, making small businesses a large contributor to the region’s economy. PICKERING -- Jordan Banks, global head of vertical strategy and managing direc- tor of Facebook Canada, was one of the speakers during an event hosted by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade and experts from Facebook's Small Business Team. The group shared best practices, success stories and strategies for how to grow, man- age and understand your small business identity on Facebook.

If youhavefallen inanaccident,there are severalthingsthat you should do to protect yourself and to give yourself the best case in a potential personal injury lawsuit. First, if you have been injured,you need to seek medical attention immediately.Be sure to get and keep records of your injuries and treatments required to heal. Before leaving the scene of the accident, there are some things you should do. If you must leave immediately,ask the person you were with to do these for you. The fallneeds to be reportedto theproperty owner,landlord ormanageroftheplace thatyou fell.Askfor areport oftheaccident. Next,take photos of the place where you fell.If there was something specific that caused your fall (i.e. a pothole, wet floors, no railing on the stairs,etc.),be sure to get that in the photos. The photographs are important, as these things can be fixed after your accident and your photos will act as evidence that the problem existed when you fell. If others witnessed your fall, ask them for their contact information. If a lawsuit is filed, these witnesses can help confirm what happened. Trytoavoidbecoming upset or yelling at theproperty owner or manager.It’s best to limit your contact with them. Finally, contact a lawyer that specializes in personal injury. They can help you determine if you have a case,and tell you how to proceed fromhere.Injury claims cansometimes bedifficult to prove, so the more evidence you can provide that proves negligence,the better your case will be.

Changes to GO schedule will affect Durham riders DURHAM -- GO train service on the entire Lakeshore East line will be reduced from every 30 minutes to every hour over two weekends in May. The scheduling change is due to work to install two pedestrian tunnels under the tracks at Eglinton GO station, which will make the station fully accessible. Service reductions will be in effect beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 8, with full service restored in time for the morning of Monday, May 11. Service reductions will again be in effect beginning at 8 p.m. on Fri- day, May 29, with full service restored in time for the morning of Monday, June 1. Some Lakeshore East trains will also be delayed by approximately 10 minutes leaving Union Station and Oshawa GO station.

If you haven’t driven on either portion for a few months, go and check them out. As I drive on them, the questions that arise are where did these roads come from, when did they build them, and how did they destroy the part of the road that went over the high- way? I think we sometimes forget that we don’t all understand the process of change, and it helps to know how we got here. I’m child- like that way. Some of us were born after our major highways were built. We just came to the earth and started using things as if they’d always been there, having no idea how they actually came to be. But with this happen- ing right in our midst, it is an opportuni- ty to understand what it takes to make this change. I do hope there’s a time-lapse video of this process somewhere. Thank you to those who are moving us along in the midst of this change too. You are the constructors and navigators of a new landscape.

All content copyright Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Editorial &&& Opinions Opinions Opinions We have a problem when the general public is barred from part of a community-enhanced public park and suspect the City has dollar signs in its eyes given the revenue it will generate. The track at Pickering’s Beverley Mor- gan Park was always fenced, but open to the public. However resident Shirley Colley-Scheuer, who’s used the track for two decades, found it locked recently and learned people must now pay the City to use the track and artificial turf in the middle of it. The City in 2010 made a deal with York Region to allow most of its sewage to be treated at the Pickering water pollution control plant. As part of the agreement, the City got an $8-million commitment for community enhancements, the turf at Beverley Morgan Park among them. However in order to protect the pric- ey turf from damage and contamina- tion, Rob Gagen, Pickering supervisor of parks operations, says it’s now locked and users need a permit to access it. He explains that general access might see people using the turf and damaging it and its drainage system with gum, mud, dirt and dog excrement. As a result, a basic permit for the park’s field now costs $30 an hour for youths and $60 an hour for adults. A tourna- ment charge is set at $500. You can use the track for $25 per day. But you will need liability insurance to get a permit. It’s laughable, really, that the turf is now too good for the general public. But we’re not laughing. To take away access to a park, even a portion of one, is a step backwards in a neighbourhood. It’s good that Pine Ridge Secondary School students and local sports teams have better turf on which to play, but a park is for everybody. We understand Mr. Gagen’s point that the City doesn’t want to spend a lot of money maintaining and repairing it. And we understand that extensive dam- age was done to the turf by vandals before it was fully installed. But damage can occur to any park at any time. It’s a given that maintenance and repairs go with the territory when you install one. We agree with Ms. Colley-Scheuer that this wasn’t thought out very well. Or maybe it was -- a nice revenue genera- tor for the City for years to come. The City should reverse course, unlock the fence and not make people pay to use an area that’s historically been free. -- Pickering News Advertiser City should unlock fence at Pickering park Think before you selfie Apparently irresponsible selfie takers are causing chaos on the streets of Italy. According to news reports this past week, irresponsible tourists seeking the perfect selfie climbed a statue of Hercules in the Italian city of Cremona. The 300-year-old statue is regarded as the symbol of the city and in the process of climbing it, the tourists shattered its crown. Italian officials were unimpressed, but unsure of what to do with the offending tourists, whose nationalities they didn’t identify. But the actions of the bone-headed tourists aren’t the first time authorities have had to police stupid selfies. Last year the New York state assembly passed a law placing a fine on anyone taking a selfie while hugging or petting tigers and other big cats in response to a trend on the dating app Tinder, where men would take selfies with tigers. UK-based animal charity Care for the Wild has launched a campaign encouraging tourists to avoid selfies with wild animals. Often, locals in developing countries will have animals on hand for photos but the charity says many of them are ripped from the wild as babies and cruelly treated with claws and teeth removed with no anesthetic. Then there are the cases of selfies gone dead- ly. There’s 17-year-old Russian girl Xenia Ignatyeva, who fell off a rail bridge and was elec- trocuted on the way down when she tried to grab a hydro cable after she attempted to pose for a selfie on the bridge. Courtney Sanford of North Carolina was killed after her car crossed the median and hit a truck head on as she attempted to post a selfie on Facebook. Her last post was ‘The happy song makes me HAPPY’ referring to the Pharrell song. In January three college students were killed in India by a train as they attempted to take a selfie with the train approaching in the background. The lesson of course is to pay more attention to surroundings than yourself when you selfie.

Pickering firefighters were called to a house on Rosebank Road at about 10:30 p.m. on April 29, after a neighbour smelled smoke and spotted the blaze. Fire prevention officer Steve Fowlds said the house was recently constructed and was not occupied at the time, and there were no injuries reported. The Office of The Ontario Fire Marshal had been called, which is required when damages are significant. But Mr. Fowlds said it was not possible to enter the house safely to investigate as it is structurally unsound. “The property is boarded up and sealed at this point,” he said. A cause has not been determined, but Mr. Fowlds believes the fire started in the base- ment and said “foul play is not suspected.” 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 • Ma y 7 , 2 0 1 5 8 AP ◆Equivalentleasepaymentsof$59/$36onthe2015Rogue/2015SentraSedanmustbemadeonamonthlybasisandcannotbemadeweekly.Weeklyleasepaymentsareforinformationalpurposesonly.±The$1,000/$1,000additionalcashdiscountofferisvalidonthepurchasefinancingorlease(atinception)ofallnew2015Sentra/Rogue.$1,000/$1,000 is comprised of $750/$700 NCF cashand$250/$300 dealer participation.Offer is available to eligible customers for a limited time from May 1 – June 1,2015 on approved credit only.Offer is based on stackable trading dollars.The discount will be deducted from the negotiated selling price before taxes.Applicable to Nissan Canada Finance (NCF) contracts only through subvented and standard NCF finance rates or subvented NCF lease rates.Not combinable with fleet discounts and not applicable to cash purchase buyers.Offer not eligible for program protection.Certain conditions apply.°Representative monthly lease offer based on any new 2015 Rogue S FWD (Y6RG15AA00)/2015 Sentra 1.8 S M6 (C4LG55AA00).1.99%/0.9% leaseAPR for a 60/60 month term equals monthly payments of $255/$158 with $0 down payment, and $0 security deposit are due at lease inception.

Afghan community gathers in Pickering to remember murder victim Kabul mob killed woman falsely accused of burning Qur’an Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- About 50 members of the Afghan community and their supporters gathered Saturday evening to remember and honour a woman who was murdered by a mob in March. Syeed Sayer, president of the Afghan Cana- dian Cultural and Educational Internation- al Organization (ACCEIO), said the attack “doesn’t reflect Afghan society. It’s not repre- sentative of Afghan culture,” Farkhunda, a 27-year-old religious teacher in Kabul, was falsely accused of burning the Qur’an by a mullah she was arguing with. A mob heard the accusation and attacked her. She was beaten, run over by a vehicle, thrown off a building, burned and then her body was dumped in a river. The attack happened on March 19. The May 2 gathering in Pickering was held at the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church. Among those attending were Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and Nazifa Langaryan, consulate general of Afghanistan. In addition to the ACCEIO, the Canadian Afghan Council took part in the vigil. Mayor Ryan said, “It’s an honour and a pleasure to be here this evening. We have a strong, vibrant Afghan community here in Durham Region and Pickering. We’re here this evening for a common purpose.” He called the attack “not just a crime against this woman, but a crime against the Afghani- stan culture, the country and the world.” Ms. Langaryan spoke to the audience in Farsi, the primary language of Afghanistan. Sharif Ghalib, the former Afghani ambas- sador to Canada, said the murder is “a turn- ing point for Afghanistan. It shocked the con- science of the world. Farkhunda was beat to death in daylight in the heart of Kabul. “The perpetrator of this heinous crime needs to be brought to justice,” Mr. Ghalib said. The trial of 49 men who took part in the attack has begun. Among those on trial are 19 police officers who stood by and didn’t inter- vene. “The problem of such an atrocity by such so-called guardians of faith remain in Afghanistan,” Mr. Ghalib said. “We have to use the social and public plat- forms to speak out against” such hatred, he noted. “It goes against the true tenants of Islam.” Madina Hamidkohzad said women deserve “our respect and give them the human rights they are expected.” Farkhunda had gotten into a dispute with a “charlatan” who was selling books and trin- kets, Ms. Hamidkohzad said. “He shouted false accusations and the mob attacked. Let’s remind the men and women who participated in this event that our first national hero was a woman. “My fellow females, the spirit exists within all of us. Each of us has a warrior spirit within us,” Ms. Hamidkohzad said. Reverend Jeff Doucette of Dunbarton-Fair- port United Church said, “This is a place of prayer, love, justice and solidarity. “Our mission statement is to welcome new people regardless of their cultural identity,” Rev. Doucette said. “I’m more than honoured to share our space.” The minister said by “sharing our solidarity and respect, we may get to know you more. We can break down barriers and embrace our diversity. We are in solidarity with you.” Fero Saleh, one of the emcee’s for the gath- ering, said ACCEIO has been working to open schools in Afghanistan. “We came together for education in our society. No society has succeeded without educating its citizens.” PICKERING -- Nazifa Langaryan, consulate general of Afghanistan, spoke during a vigil for Farkhunda, a 27-year-old religious scholar murdered in Afghanistan after she was falsely accused of burning a Qur’an. The vigil at Dunbarton-Fairport United Church was organized by the Afghan Canadian Cultural and Educational International Organization and the Canadian Afghan Council. Jason Liebregts / Metroland “My daughter learned how to ride her bike on it,” she said. When she discovered it was locked, she contacted the City of Pickering and learned there is new artificial turf in the centre of the track, and that the use of the area is now by permit only. “There’s a lot of people that use it,” Ms. Col- ley-Scheuer said of the track before it was locked up. Unsatisfied, she sent another e-mail to the City. In a detailed response, co-ordinator of public affairs Mark Guinto explained the artificial turf at the park was paid for by York Region, a negotiated community benefit in exchange for York pumping its sewage into Pickering in the South East Collector project. A settlement reached between York Region and the City in 2010 meant York Region was able to go ahead with twinning the south- east collector trunk sanitary sewer, know as the ‘Big Pipe,’ which brings 90 per cent of York’s sewage to the sewage control plant in Pickering for treatment. As part of the deal, the City received an $8-million commitment in community enhancements, to be complet- ed by 2017. The artificial turf is one of them. “Obviously a deal was made and it wasn’t thought through,” said Ms. Colley-Scheuer, concerned that the project will keep Pickering residents from staying active. Other projects as a result of the deal with York include paving Third Concession Road, the replacement of Palmer bridge, the cre- ation of a multi-use trail, and various ecologi- cal restoration projects done by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Both the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board were given funds for greening projects, as well as scholarships. “So they will now have annual scholarships in the name of the Southeast Collector,” said Richard Holborn, director of engineering and public works. The cost for the work at Beverley Mor- gan Park was $1.2 million, said Rob Gagen, Pickering supervisor of parks operations. He said the work has greatly benefitted the field, which is used by both Pine Ridge students and local sports teams. “It’s a huge improvement,” he said. He explained in order to protect the turf, the fence that has always been there has been replaced and the new fence is now locked in order to lessen the risk of damage and con- tamination, and reduce the need for repair. The project also included a new scoreboard. Mr. Gagen said leaving the gate open would invite people to enter with things that could ruin the turf and/or drainage system includ- ing gum, mud, dirt, and dog poop. “Even though people would clean it up, there would be a residue there which would be unsafe hygienically,” he said. Mr. Gagen explained the City couldn’t install the fencing between the track and the playing field because of the relatively small sidelines. “That would be a safety issue putting a fence on the inside of the track,” he said. Therefore, both the new turf and the track are off limits unless a permit has been issued. Mr. Gagen pointed out there are many other sections of the park that the community can enjoy, and noted there is another track at St. Mary Park that is open to the public. “It’s rubber also and it’s not fenced in and people are welcome to use it,” he said. Mr. Gagen said a basic permit for the field at Beverley Morgan Park is $30 an hour for youth and $60 per hour for adults. A tourna- ment charge is $500. The track can be rented for $25 per day, based on availability. How- ever, Mr. Gagen noted liability insurance is needed to get a permit. Pine Ridge has use of the turf and track dur- ing the day. Revenue from use of the track rentals will go to the City’s parks department. While the new turf was paid for by York, Pickering is paying for the maintenance. For this reason, Ms. Colley-Scheuer feels all Pickering taxpayers should be able to enjoy the track. She would be pleased with a com- promise, such as locking it up overnight but leaving it open to the public during specific times of the day. “I just don’t think it should be locked up,” she said. Mr. Gagen explained the turf attracted van- dals before it was even installed. While it was under construction, somebody set fire to the artificial turf, causing about $100,000 in dam- age, another reason Mr. Gagen said it’s neces- sary to lock it up. “It’s unfortunate it has affected a minimal number of people as far as access, but we have to protect the investment,” he said. There have been reports of people hopping the fence already. Mr. Gagen noted the City installed signage in an attempt to keep them out. Meanwhile, Richard Karikari, owner of the Durham West Dolphins, said the players are pleased with the new turf. “It’s great and it’s benefitting the needs of the kids in the area,” he said.

Luckily for him, this Cessna 747 isn’t real. It’s part of the Dreamflyer person- al virtual-reality motion flight simulator. The Pickering Air Cadet 856 Squadron acquired the simulator to train its cadets before they apply for flying scholarships. “To my knowledge we are the only air cadet squadron in the Durham Region that has a flight simulator,” said Captain Patricia Seredoka, commanding officer of the 856 squadron. In this simulation the airport and sur- rounding area are exact replicas of the real thing, minus the snow that’s still on the ground. “I would like to get another one, it is actu- ally very realistic,” says Captain Michael Neujahr, the chief flying instructor for the 856 squadron. “Except for when you crash, you just bounce,” Sgt. Woolley says, while still grap- pling with the controls of the simulator. The Dreamflyer setup tries to emulate the setup of a real plane cockpit, complete with a control stick, throttle lever, feet- operated rudders and brake pedals and three monitors to display front and side views out of the cockpit. When Sgt. Wool- ley makes a left turn the entire setup dips to the left with him, simulating the gravita- tional movements pilots feel in real flight. This is Sgt. Woolley’s first time flying the Dreamflyer, although he admits he has the same flight simulation software at home minus the Dreamflyer rig. Captain Neu- jahr pauses the program to load up the next module and explain how Sgt. Woolley will want to land the plane at Oshawa’s air- port. “OK, unpause,” the captain says. “I wish we could do that in real life.” The air cadet ground school taught by Captain Neujahr features 20 mod- ules of increasing difficulty. The landing module begins and Sgt. Woolley in his plane has a view of the runway although he’s not straight on; that would be too easy. On his first landing attempt Sgt. Woolley lands half on the runway, half on the grass before he bounces off, in what would be a crash in real life. “Take-off is easy, flying is dead sim- ple and landing is where you make your money,” says Captain Neujahr. Sgt. Woolley jokingly blames the land- ing on the weather and Captain Neu- jahr notes that no weather settings are in effect right now. “We can introduce different weather ele- ments, it helps them deal with bad weath- er when they are in the air,” says Captain Seredoka, who adds her own landing attempt somehow ended in the lake. “I’ve had my attempt on it and it is shockingly difficult,” she said. Since the 856 squadron acquired the simulator in January, 30 of the 156 active cadets in the squadron have had the opportunity to try a few modules. Of those, an even fewer number -- four cadets -- will be entitled to write the power and glider scholarship exams. If they are successful, they will go to one of numerous locations across the country to learn to fly. Successful scholarship applicants will be able to train on the simulator in May and June before they go away for six weeks and use the same program to learn to fly. “It will give them an advantage and build confidence,” said Captain Seredo- ka. “When the come back they have their wings.” Cadets who go away as part of the schol- arship program will have their housing, food and clothing covered. Outside of the scholarship program cadets are constant- ly busy with activities nearly every day of the week. They attend music camps, play sports and practise physical fitness, parade and can even learn aircraft mainte- nance. The Pickering Air Cadet 856 squadron is open to young people aged 12 to 18 and aims to build leadership skills, health and physical fitness, community service and citizenship and to promote an interest in the Canadian forces. For more information, visit the 856 squadron’s website at www.856aircadets. com . First person My flight simulator experience Idling on the runway of the Oshawa air- port with the control stick in hand I listened to Captain Michael Neujahr explain rudders and brake pedals and the concept of taxi- ing, which is simply manoeuvering the plane on the ground. Using very little throttle and only the rudder pedals to steer, I made it to the end of the runway with relative ease. At this point, Captain Neujahr explains, several checks are done and the pilot radios the con- trol tower for approval to take off. With increased speed I head down the runway and about 30 metres in, Cap- tain Neujahr gives the command to pull the control gently toward me; I instead pull all the way back and send the nose of the plane upward and with it the entire Dream- flyer setup. Very abruptly the plane takes off, nearly stalling, and I can no longer see the runway and instead see the blue virtual sky. I am flying. I continue my ascent at 800 feet per minute until I reach about 3,000 feet before slowing down. To get a feel for flying, Captain Neujahr has me nose dive and pull the stick up again with the rig responding like a roller- coaster. Once I’m level again I try a couple turns. The stick seems to fight back as I hold to the left. I then try a standard rate one turn and to level off again I have to pull the stick to the opposite side to correct. Captain Neujahr tells me I’m doing well. Feeling confident, I try the approach module. I turn to correct and line up with the runway. All looks good from this far out but I begin to struggle to keep the plane straight, careening from left to right with the runway disappearing from sight each time. I finally touch ground, flying straight through a tree and a chain link fence. I didn’t bounce so it was technically a good landing, although I’d be wrapped around a tree if this was real life. Flying the simulator is a lot harder than Sergeant Liam Woolley made it look. I think I’ll leave flying to the cadets.

Colin Arnott, president of the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association and race director of the Seaton Soaker, said the event on May 9 is a memorial to his brother, an avid runner and healthy individual who died of a stroke when he was just 50 years old. The funds raised will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and Camp Bucko, a burn camp for kids. The race routes vary: 15, 25 and 50 kilome- tres and 300 racers are already registered for the event. The race is famous for its water crossing, which takes place with about two kilometres left to go in the race. Pickering firefighter Jordan Manganero is running specifically for Camp Bucko. “He’s running 15 (kilometres) in his full bunker gear which weighs 50 pounds,” said Mr. Arnott. Online registration is closed but any- one wishing to join the race can register at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Races begin at 8 a.m. The start and finish will take place at Pine Ridge Secondary School, 2155 Liverpool Rd. N., Pickering. Visit www.seatontrailrace.com for more information or to donate.

LONDON FOG Abbey Collection Featured: Reg. $125 to $350 Sale $31.25 to $87.50 I.N.C INTERNATIONAL CONCEPTS Reg. $79 Sale $39.50 The world’s oldest wine brand and Mother’s Day make a fine combination The world’s oldest wine brand has a unique history. Commandaria is an amber-coloured dessert wine produced in the island of Cyprus which has a history that dates back some 4,000 years with referenc- es going back to the Greek poet Homer. It is also noted for being the chosen wine at festivals honouring the goddess Aphrodite. Comman- daria was also used at the Cypriot wedding of Richard the Lionheart to Berengaria de Navarre during his Third Crusade, where he declared Commandaria, “wine of the kings and the king of wine.” Commandaria gets its name from the name ‘La Grande Commande- rie’, an area just west of the ancient city of Limassol, which was the military headquarters (thus Com- mandaria) of the Knights Tem- plars in the 12th century. The wine became famous among them and soon was exported to Europe where it became famous in the European royal courts. This sweet wine is made exclu- sively from indigenous Xynisteri (white) and Mavro (Black) Cypri- ot grape varieties. The vines must be a minimum of four years old (although many vines are more than 100 years in age). The grapes are allowed to over-ripen and are then harvested. They are laid out in the sun to further dry, thus increas- ing the sugar content and then crushed and pressed. The vinified wine is blended with older wine in a process called ‘manna,’ similar but not identical to the Spanish ‘solera’ system. Minimum aging in barrel is two years. The finished product contains about 15 per cent alcohol. Commadaria St. Nicholas (Vin- tages # 692491, $19.95) is Port- like in taste. On the nose, the wine has fresh apricot and peach with nuances of syrup, caramel and burnt sugar. On the palate one denotes luscious fig, coffee, choc- olate and caramel flavours with a finish that lasts. I would suggest this wine with blue cheese such as Roquefort, Stilton or Gorgonzo- la, nuts, dried fruit and sweet des- serts. This wine would make a great Mother’s Day wine -- especially if mom has a ‘sweet tooth.’ If mother does not have a ‘sweet tooth,’ there are several wines that would make a great addition to Mother’s Day celebrations. The white Two Oceans Pinot Gri- gio (LCBO #295022, $10.25) has refreshing peach and pear flavours and would be great for sipping or with light salads. The sparkling Sau- vignon Blanc from Two Oceans (LCBO #365353, $12.95) is a mouth-watering, crisp and refresh- ing wine with citrus, pear, and pineapple fla- vours. The Spanish red wine, Montecillo Crian- za (LCBO #144493, $14.95) is a great red for that special barbecue on the special day. It is full of cherry, chocolate, vanilla and spice flavours to complement any meat dish.

We think nothing of getting our eyesight tested, having our regular medical check-up or even making sure the oil gets changed in our car. But when it comes to our hearing, most people don’t take action until either they or someone around them notices there’s a problem. “Getting your hearing tested should be part of everyone’s health-smart strategy,” says Nav Bal- sara, Audiologist and co-owner of Professional Hearing Services of Ajax, Whitby, Bowmanville and Cobourg. “An initial hearing test establishes a base- line we can compare to subsequent hearing tests to identify small problems before they develop into big ones. While hearing aid technology has come a long way, the best way to protect your hearing is to safeguard the hearing you’ve already got.” Mr. Balsara’s philosophy comes from many years in the practice and from his university training as an Audiologist. “While it’s professionally rewarding to see the look on a patient’s face when a hearing aid restores a good measure of the hearing they thought they’d lost for good, it’s more gratifying when we can identify a lifestyle change or simple measures we can take that will prevent a small hearing loss from becoming a major one.” As a re- sult, Balsara recommends that people who work in a noisy environment get their hearing tested annu- ally, and those who work in quieter environments have a test once every three years. He notes that in his practice, these hearing tests are free. For more information about your hearing, visit www.durhamhearing.com Making life sound better at PHS For many Canadians, communicating with others is a daily challenge. In fact, there are millions of people who suffer from problems related to speech, language and hearing. These problems can affect them not only in their professional or school lives but also on a day-to-day basis with their friends and family. Most of us take our ability to hear and speak very much for granted. Whether we’re talking with our friends, sitting in a classroom or playing sports, our ability to communicate is essen- tial to all our daily activities. Since 1927, May has been designated throughout North America as the month to promote public awareness of professionals who work in this field and to pay homage to their achievements. The Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA) and its 5,000 members spread across Canada, work together to raise public awareness of these profes- sions and to talk about all the questions surrounding the problems related to speech, language and hearing. Speech therapists, audiologists and support personnel are professionals trained to work with Canadians of all ages who are confronted with a wide range of communication problems. Whether they are looking after a child with hearing problems or a senior recovering from a stroke, these professionals continually strive to improve the quality of life and the health of the people they are caring for. Again this year, a multitude of activities will be organized in communities throughout Canada. These activities will come in many different forms including hearing screening clinics, clinic open houses, contests or information sessions. More information about this organization and the activities to be held during National Speech and Hearing Month can be found at www.caslpa.ca May is Hearing Awareness Month Durham Audiometric’s Renee Giroux, Audiologist, and Brigitte Giroux, Hearing Instrument Specialist, answer your questions about hearing aids. Q. I have difﬁ culty hearing in background noise. Can hearing aids help me hear better in background noise? Yes. We have the world’s ﬁ rst hearing technology that outperforms normal hearing*, as clinically proven by independent studies. Hearing in a cocktail party situation is ﬁ nally possible. With narrow directionality, binax hearing aids automatically focus on the person talking in front of you. Q. Can hearing aids help me hear a passenger in the car? When this sophisticated hearing technology detects a car situation, the binax hearing aids automatically focus on the main sound source, from the front, the back or even the sides, while attenuating noise from other directions. You ﬁ nally can participate even when traveling. Q. Can hearing aids help my tinnitus? Hearing aids are an effective way to manage tinnitus*, described as sounds such as ringing in the ears. Hearing aids amplify other sounds which draw attention away from the tinnitus. Q. Are hearing aids discrete? Most will not even know that you are wearing them but they will know that you are hearing a lot better. Q. Are hearing aids rechargeable? Yes. The new binax hearing aids have the option of being rechargeable. No daily battery changes required. The world is yours to hear! Call our award winning team to schedule your appointment.

More than 1,800 Durham students pulled from class in sex ed ‘strike’ Campaign urges concerned parents to keep kids home May 4 to 11 Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- About three per cent of Dur- ham’s public elementary school students were kept home on Monday as part of a prov- ince-wide parental protest against Ontario’s new sex education curriculum. The Durham District School Board report- ed 1,828 absences on May 4, as a direct result of the parent-led “strike.” That’s out of a total of 47,799 students enrolled in DDSB elemen- tary schools. A campaign, called Parents and Students on Strike: One Week No School was launched by concerned parents in Peel Region who say the new curriculum -- set to be implement- ed in September -- is too graphic, introduces “sensitive” topics too early and clashes with the religious and cultural beliefs of some fam- ilies. Concerned parents are being urged to pull their kids out of class the week of May 4 to 11. In Durham, schools in Pickering and Ajax saw the most absences on the first day of the protest. Valley Farm P.S. in Pickering had the highest number of students away May 4, with 185 out of 551 absent. Other schools with a high number of absences included Valley View P.S. in Pickering, Roland Michener P.S. in Ajax and Romeo Dallaire P.S. in Ajax. “It’s unfortunate that they’re not in class at this time. But that’s their prerogative,” said DDSB superintendent Luiga Ayotte. She stressed that parents concerned about the new curriculum can opt their kids out. “There is going to be communication that goes home to parents when any of those units in health section will be taught,” she explains. “Parents will have the option of having their children excluded from that lesson.” Strike organizer Omar Kasmieh, a Peel Region father of two children, ages 4 and 8, says the goal is to send a “respectful message” that thousands of parents are not happy and feel they were not consulted. “We felt the process was a little bit abrupt. It was introduced this year and our kids will be learning this in September,” he says. “This is not math or science that everyone agrees on, this has to do with cultures and beliefs. Par- ents need to be involved.” A Facebook page for the group had more than 13,000 likes early this week. It includes a template parents can use to provide their school with a letter explaining their child’s absence. “As a family, we adhere to a set of val- ues based on our beliefs and culture,” it reads. “We believe that it is our respon- sibility to teach these values to our chil- dren and have the greatest authority over how and when such sensitive top- ics are being introduced to our children.” The Durham Catholic District School Board saw almost no impact from the sex ed strike. Officials there said a poll of principals indi- cated about 10 families participated. The DCDSB said there were actually more stu- dents absent the Monday before, April 27, than there were on May 4. Other GTA school boards saw much higher absence rates on May 4. In Toronto, almost 35,000 students were absent, a leap of 144 per cent over the previ- ous Monday. Toronto’s Thorncliffe Park Public School was the hardest hit -- about 130 children showed up of the usual 1,350. In York Region about 2,000 elementary stu- dents stayed home, including 70 per cent of students at Teston Village Public School and 40 per cent at Markham Gateway Public School. Peel Region saw 1,170 students stay home, with some schools missing up to 250 kids. -- With files from Torstar news service Police Three charged after girl, 14, found working in sex trade in Durham hotel DURHAM -- Three people, including a 17-year-old girl, are facing human trafficking charges after police found a 14-year-old girl working as an escort at a Whitby hotel. Members of the human trafficking unit went to the hotel to apprehend the girl under the Child and Family Services Act after she was adver- tised online as a sex worker, Durham police said. Three people believed to be con- trolling the girl were found in a vehicle in the hotel parking lot and arrested. Charged with exercising control of a person under 18 and drug pos- session are George Shields, 26, of Dufferin Avenue, Trenton, Shaqu- wane Rose, 20, of Dean Avenue, Oshawa, and a 17-year-old Toronto girl. All three suspects were held for bail hearings. Durham police have set up a human trafficking hotline that can be reached at 905-0579-1520, exten- sion 4888. 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 • Ma y 7 , 2 0 1 5 25 APWhat’s On Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor / mruta@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0505 Terry Nicholls exhibiting at Ajax Creative Arts spring show and sale this weekend Long time coming for artist to show in Ajax Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Terry Nicholls hasn’t been an Ajax Creative Arts member for long. But he’s been an artist for decades and will be showing work at the group’s annual spring show for the first time. A native of Wales who lived in Oshawa for many years before moving to Ajax around 11 years ago, Nicholls from the start has mixed things up in terms of media -- and stresses his work is primarily for himself. “I paint, draw and do sculpture of things I want to do,” he says. “If anybody likes it, that’s fine. “I do it for my own pleasure.” Nicholls has a long history of involve- ment in the Oshawa Art Association, including as a co-founder of the OAA’s Camp Samac art show. His father, Stan Nicholls, was an accom- plished painter, also involved in the Oshawa art scene. They had a joint show at Parkwood Estates in the 1970s. However Terry Nicholls said what he learned from his father was through obser- vation, not lessons. “He never, ever taught me,” he says. “I watched him. He had some peculiar quirks, I guess. He always had incense burning or a candle. It put him in a mellow mood.” Nicholls recalls as a 14 year old, back in the UK, wanting to get into a life draw- ing class for adults. He was too young, but determined to be in the class, so the instructor made him audition on the spot. He was challenged to draw her hand, and then her foot. He passed the test and was admitted. “My style, I suppose, is realistic ... then I play with the light,” Nicholls says. He will work from a photograph, but says he likes to draw or paint the scene from a different perspective than is shown in the image, changing both the scene and, of course, the light in it. “My father painted all his life,” he says, noting he died at 86. “He painted right up until the end. I intend to live forever -- so far so good.” Nicholls is a long-time school volunteer and says he will be showing mostly land- scape paintings and a couple of figures at the Ajax show. The Ajax Creative Arts 2015 Spring Show and Sale is May 8 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and May 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 350 works of art by roughly 50 local and area artists will be on display. As well, there will be a free draw for a painting by Angela Wong. The show is in the HMS Ajax Room at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Centennial Rd. AJAX -- Ajax artist Terry Nicholls is taking part in the Ajax Creative Arts 2015 Spring Show and Sale from May 8 to 10 at the Ajax Community Centre. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Columnists ‘real’ Top 10 Mother’s Day songs list There are two kinds of Mother’s Day tunes: ones from this side of 1990 and the more recognizable ones from the golden age of the 1950s and 1960s. Predictably, lists like those tabulated by Billboard magazine mostly go for recordings made within the last couple of decades. Here are my Top 10 picks of the real Mother’s Day songs: (Note: to qualify, the songs must be direct- ly about mothers, not somebody’s baby). 1. Mama -- Connie Francis (1960). A song created by Harold Barlow and Phil Brito, it originates from 1941 as Mama son tanto felice, which means Mum, I am So Happy. David Whitfield had a hit with Mama (1955) in the U.K. But the more popular and most effective version is the one recorded by Connie Francis, first released in 1960. Tony Osborne’s gripping, full-orchestral backing played a significant part in the success of the final product. 2. Only The Strong Survive -– Jerry But- ler (1969). Powerful, undiminishing song by Jerry ‘The Iceman’ Butler. No nonsense, sound advice is given here by mama. The title says it all. 3. A Mother’s Love -– The Diamonds fea- turing Dave Somerville (1959). Superb, spirited lead vocal by Dave Somerville. It is his favorite of all the records The Diamonds ever made. 4. (Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean -– Ruth Brown (1953). Atlantic Records’ rhythm and blues at its best with Ruth Brown doing the vocal honors about a mean, mean man (to para- phrase Wanda Jackson’s song) who never- theless still has a hold on mama’s daugh- ter. 5. Mama Said -– The Shirelles (1961). Another tale about mama’s expertise on relationships and their pitfalls. Not to worry though, anything mama says makes things all right. 6. Mother-In-Law –- Ernie K. Doe (1961). All the trials and tribulations tied into mother-in-law visits are here. A sizable rhythm and blues/pop success by the late New Orleans native Ernie K. Doe. 7. Shop Around -– The Miracles featur- ing Bill ‘Smokey’ Robinson (1960). More wise counselling from mama and Motown’s first big hit record. ‘Smokey’ and The Miracles commanded a solid run of successful recordings throughout the 60s and early 70s, ending with Love Machine (Part 1) in 1975. 8. Mama Didn’t Lie -– Jan Bradley (1963). Along the same lines of Mama Said by The Shirelles. The exaggerated lyrics say watch out for any man, because their favorite pastime is to prey on young girls. Maybe mama did lie a little bit? 9. Ma -– He’s Making Eyes At Me –- Annette (1959). A song that goes way back to 1921, when it was first published. Besides Annette Funicello’s adequate warbling, many artists have covered this song over the decades. Annette, one of America’s sweethearts, valiantly battled multiple sclerosis until her death in 2013 at age 70. 10. Mama -– B.J. Thomas (1966). First released in 1964, Mama deeply examines the wonderful and beautiful things that mothers do. Andrew Merey is a Whitby resident who’s interested in music and movie history.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland 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 • Ma y 7 , 2 0 1 5 27 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Generals four wins away from OHL title Connor McDavid and Erie Otters stand in the way of Oshawa’s first championship in 18 years Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The biggest obstacle to the Oshawa Generals winning their first Ontario Hockey League championship in 18 years is a kid who was just four months old when that happened. Connor McDavid, that is. Perhaps you’ve heard of him. McDavid, the 18-year-old sensation and soon-to-be first overall draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers, will lead the Erie Otters into the General Motors Centre on Friday, May 8 to begin a best-of-seven champion- ship series with the Generals. The series will determine the winner of the J. Ross Robertson Cup and this year’s OHL representative at the Memorial Cup, which runs from May 22-31 in Quebec City. The Generals earned the extra home date by finishing four points ahead of Erie in the standings this season, 108 to 104, but in pick- ing a favourite in the series, many would like- ly point to the Otters -- and McDavid. McDavid has taken his game to even more impressive heights than he did during the regular season, when he took a run at the scoring title despite missing 21 games. The Otters’ captain has gone on to rack up 42 points in just 15 playoff games, leaving him 10 shy of breaking the post-season record. He’s won three of the past four OHL player- of-the-week awards and led the way to a six- game series win in the Western Conference final over the top-ranked Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, who went into that series hav- ing lost just four games in 2015, and none in the playoffs. If the Generals are going stop the Otters’ run, therefore, coach D.J. Smith knows his team will need to at least contain the daz- zling six-foot-one speedster. “He’s the best (junior) player in the world for a reason. You’re not going to keep him right off the board, we’ve just got to try to contain him, and all five guys on the ice have to be aware when he’s out there,” Smith said Sunday, after Oshawa finished off the North Bay Battalion in six games of the Eastern Conference final. “If you continue to let him score at will like that, you’re not going to win,” he added on Monday. “One of the things is discipline, and we’ve been very good with our discipline I think in the playoffs to this point.” If any team in the league is equipped to slow McDavid and the rest of the high-flying Otters, it would be the Generals, by far the best defensive team in the league this season. While Erie’s offence was a close second to the Soo’s, scoring 331 goals in 68 games, Osha- wa’s defence was second to none, allowing only 157 goals, 38 fewer than the next closest team, North Bay. Goalie Ken Appleby, a big part of the rea- son for that, has had two off games in the playoffs, but has otherwise been superb, and figures to offer Oshawa an advantage in goal over Erie’s Devin Williams. The battle of special teams, always a key, will be intriguing, especially when Erie’s league-leading power play takes on Osha- wa’s top-ranked penalty kill. Erie’s power play is downright frightening, led by McDa- vid of course, but also including Dylan Strome, who led the league with 129 points during the regular season, and rookie Alex DeBrincat, whose 51 goals were second most in the OHL. McDavid, who missed both games against Oshawa this season, can expect to see a healthy dose of centre Cole Cassels and the defence tandem of captain Josh Brown and Dakota Mermis when he’s on the ice. Smith’s hope is that his club is a deep- er than that of the Otters, but now that it’s crunch time, he recognizes he will have to shorten the bench at times and rely on his key players, most notably Michael Dal Colle, who is third in the playoff scoring race with 25 points, but had only four in the confer- ence final. “For us to win, he’s going to have to be my best player,” Smith said. “At times, he has been our best player, but at times other guys have been too, which is fine, but when you get to the finals, you need special perfor- mances by players, and he’s the guy who has the ability to do it. We’re going to need it.” GENERALLY SPEAKING: The Oshawa Generals have won their first Bobby Orr Trophy, named after the former Generals great and given out to the OHL’s Eastern Conference champ since 1999 … The last time the Generals reached the OHL final, in 1997, they won it in six games over the Otta- wa 67’s before losing in the Memorial Cup semifinal in overtime to Lethbridge in Hull, Quebec … Hunter Smith and Matt Mistele scored for the Generals in a 2-1 Game 6 win at the North Bay Memorial Gardens to close out the conference final … Defence- man Stephen Desrocher stepped up in a big way for the Generals in the series with North Bay, scoring twice and adding a pair of assists … Michael Dal Colle, Tobi- as Lindberg and Anthony Cirelli also had four points each in the series … Defence- man Will Petschenig has been lost for the season to a broken arm after he threw a big open-ice body check at North Bay’s Miles Liberati in Game 5 … Chris Carlisle has missed the past three games with an upper body injury, but coach D.J. Smith expects to have him back for the final. NORTH BAY -- D.J. Smith has done a masterful job coaching the Oshawa Generals, but will likely have his hands full trying to slow Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters in the OHL final.

Sleep-away camp is a character- building experience for children who are ready for it. If you want your child to attend camp when it’s convenient for your summer schedule, you’ll need to get busy now and reserve a space early. Because summer camps are increasingly in demand, take the time to do some research and see what kind of camp will best suit your child. There is a lot to choose from, so you don’t want to end up sending him or her to just any camp simply because it’s one where they still have some places left. It is essential to take into account the interests of your children in order for them to have an enjoyable and enriching experi- ence. There are conventional camps, which offer a wide range of outdoor activities and group games. Other camps offer special interest activities, such as specific sports, visual arts, music, cooking, or even the sci- ences, including astronomy. The length of stay can also vary. Some parents prefer to stick with day camps or short stays so their children won’t get homesick. Others opt to send their children for a week or more to develop their independence. Children living with a physical or mental disability can also benefit greatly from a stay at a summer camp. Some camps are specifically adapted to meet such needs and have qualified personnel trained to care for them 24 hours a day. Whatever type of camp a family is look- ing for, it is always advisable to visit it first or speak with camp staff on the phone — this will help you be sure their priority is the well-being of the children and their focus suits the needs and interests of your children.

Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering Destiny Wigs has opened in Ajax, offering affordable and beautiful wigs. Owner Marlene Virdo has been wearing wigs for years, and wanted to create a space where women felt comfortable and able to look at wigs without any pressure. “Wig shopping can be emotional. I have had experiences in the past where my emotions would cause me to spend more than I was comfortable with,” says Marlene. “That’s why I opened Destiny Wigs. I wanted to offer people affordable options that will fit their budget, with no sales pressure. It should be a positive and fun experience and that’s what I’m trying to provide.” Here, you will find a variety of styles from top brands such as Henry Margu and TressAllure, with 40 different styles and 20 or more colours of each to choose from. Wigs are a fast, inexpensive way to change your look – without the commitment of a drastic cut or colour change. Here is a perfect way to mix things up for a party, a special event or just for a change. You are sure to find the right style and color to give you that exciting new look! The wigs are very affordable, and to make them even easier to buy, Destiny Wigs offers layaway plans. Gift certificates are also available. In additions to wigs, Destiny Wigs also carries shampoos and products to properly care for your wigs, as well as scarves and fashion jewellery to help you accessorize. Destiny Wigs is located at 1-377 Mackenzie Avenue in Ajax, Suites 2 & 3 (just south off of Bayly Ave., directly behind Burger King). The store is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call or text (905) 767-7539 or email destinywigs@gmail.com.
