Man, 75, seriously injured, airlifted to Toronto trauma centre AJAX -- An investigation continues into a crash Tues- day afternoon in Ajax that left a civilian and two Dur- ham police officers injured. A 75-year-old man was airlifted to a Toronto trauma centre following the crash, at Kingston and Lakeridge Roads at about 3:55 p.m. April 19, according to the Special Investigations Unit. The SIU, which investigates incidents involving police that lead to injury or death, said the senior’s Honda Accord was west- bound on Kingston Road while two officers were eastbound in an unmarked Durham police pick-up. The vehicles col- lided; there’s been no indication from the SIU as to what led to the crash. Durham police have confirmed the civilian injured in the crash was not being pursued and was not the subject of an investiga- tion. He was airlifted to St. Michael’s Hospital with life-threaten- ing injuries. The two plain clothes officers were treated at hospi- tal for minor injuries. The SIU has assigned several investigators, including a colli- sion reconstruction expert, to the case.

Protesters gather around noon outside Ms. MacCharles’s Kingston Road constitu- ency office. Ms. MacCharles is the minister of Children and Youth Services and she’s the Province’s lead on the autism file. Several parents brought their children with them, those diagnosed on the autism spectrum and their siblings, others carried placards with pictures of the children they say are greatly affected by the Province’s decision to limit intensive behavioural inter- vention therapy to children ages two to four. Many of the placards included the hashtag #AutismDoesntEndat5. In Durham, the wait list for the therapy is three to four years long and 81 of 131 children waiting to begin ther- apy will be dropped from the list on May 1. In addition, five- and six-year-old chil- dren who recently began the therapy will be cycled out early, say parents. Ms. MacCharles came out to speak to the protesters and the group quickly surround- ed her with some parents shouting “shame on MacCharles” and “we’re the experts”, in response to government comments that experts were consulted before the age range was reduced. The MPP ultimately invited six people to speak for the group and meet with her in the office. To the media, Ms. MacCharles stressed that her government is investing $333 mil- lion and each family who loses access to IBI will receive $8,000 which they can spend as they choose. “When that $8,000 expires they can transi- tion to the expanded program which will be longer than ABA and more intense,” she said referring to applied behaviour analysis ther- apy which uses similar principles to IBI. But Oshawa mother Ashley Aldred ques- tioned what the expanded ABA services will look like, pointing out that while her son Trent was on the waiting list for IBI, he had about 12 hours of ABA per year, a number which pales in comparison to the intense therapy the six year old is now receiving. “We waited almost four years,” she said. “Finally we got in in December and now we don’t know how much longer he’s to have.” Ms. Aldred said she received a letter on Friday saying her son would lose access to IBI therapy which means that instead of the year to two years of therapy she was hoping for, Trent will receive six months or less. The family couldn’t afford private IBI ther- apy, which costs $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and she doesn’t believe expanded ABA will make up for the lost IBI therapy. “He’ll be dropping down from 20 hours a week to 12 hours every year and a half, maybe,” she said. “I’m not disagreeing early intervention is important, but not at the cost of these kids who have been on the wait list for so many years and now see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Ms. Aldred said even the few months of therapy he has had have helped Trent. She was not one of the people who met separately with Ms. MacCharles, but she booked an appointment with the MPP to speak to her further in May and said while she found Ms. MacCharles’s message repeti- tive, she appreciated that she came out to speak to protesters. “I was shocked when I saw her and I did appreciate that,” she said. Amber Fancy kept a careful eye on her son Kayson, who has autism, as well as Kay- son’s two brothers. She said the family was spending $4,000 a month on therapy ser- vices before he finally received funding for IBI at age 5. He was on the wait list for three years. “We’re not just fighting for him, we’re fighting for all the kids who didn’t get to see a day of funding,” she said. Angry Durham parents of children with autism face off with Pickering MPP Tracy MacCharles Justin Greaves / Metroland PICKERING -- Parents of children with autism are upset with changes to the Province’s IBI autism program. About 60 people protested outside the Kingston Road constituency office of Tracy MacCharles, minister of children and youth services. Sarah Milligan, whose son was in the IBI program from age 6 to 9 protested along Kingston Road. 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 • Ap r i l 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 7 AP 2212 TAUNTON ROAD, HAMPTON APPLIANCE WAREHOUSE: 905-263-8369 • 1-800-798-5502 www.PaddysMarket.ca April 22, 23, & 24, 20163 DAYS ONLY!

The teen, whose identity is protect- ed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, said nothing during her in-person appearance in youth court on Friday, April 15 in Oshawa. Her lawyer, Tom Balka, had her case adjourned until May 3. The girl was taken into custody by offi- cers responding to a series of attacks Feb. 23 at Dunbarton, during which wit- nesses said a girl armed with two knives made her way through the hallways, slashing at victims. She was restrained by staff members. Five students and two staff members were hurt; none of the injuries was life- threatening. Dunbarton High reopened the next day. The girl, 14, been charged with nine counts of assault with a weapon, six counts of assault causing bodily harm, assault and possession of a dangerous weapon. DR.

Our nation’s hope is rooted in the young I was once asked to recall any event in Canada where everyone rallied togeth- er. I was born and raised here. But it took me a while for something to come to mind; eventually three things did: hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Toronto Blue Jays being back-to-back World Series champions, and Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Terry Fox would be number No. 1. Here was this 21-year-old young man with cancer, defiantly running as an amputee across Canada to raise aware- ness and support for his fight and the fight of many others. This was a first, but he never got to finish his race. After the cancer spread to his lungs, he was forced to stop. I can’t help but notice that it took a young person to get both the atten- tion of this nation and also cause us to come together in ways that still speak, past political stripes, religion and race. Could this be because young people are the hope of a generation and it’s as though our very hope was being attacked? His run was an act that said, ‘I won’t rollover and die. You will have to come and take me, but not until I’ve left my m a r k ’. In the past few days and weeks both the Cold Lake and Attawapiskat First Nations’ communities issued an alert, citing a suicide epidemic. But it’s not just happening there. If those attempting to take their lives could cry, perhaps they’d shout, ‘Give me an atmosphere I can live in! Give me a chance to live!’ In response to this crisis the feder- al Health Minister Jane Philpott said, “People become mentally ill and con- sider suicide in situations where they are without hope. And what does it take to have hope? It means to believe that there are opportunities for your future.” We all need this. Terry Fox was heard and we rallied together in this nation for one young man who was dying. They’re still dying and the gap in us coming together is causing young people to slip through the cracks. Does anyone want their hope back? Does anyone value these lives? Is Terry Fox the only young person we will ever rally around in such a nation-wide fash- ion? We’ve built a monument to him and perhaps we’ve gotten stuck there, too. Because whenever our hope -- young people -- no longer matter, a nation might as well die with them. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth. Is Terry Fox the only youngperson we will ever rally around? Renae Jarrett Guest columnist ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m This bird’s loud and pushy and definitely rules the roost, not to mention the bird feeders around Durham Region The bullies are back. Have been for a few weeks now, changing the social dynam- ics around every bird-feeding station in Durham. Nuthatches and chickadees are scared off. Downy woodpeckers have to wait their turn on the suet. Even starting-to-turn-yellow gold- finches can’t find openings on tube feeders when a bird four times their size takes over. A sleek black bird with glaring yellow eyes, which along with its cohorts can empty a feeder in half a day: common grackles. I was watching the drama at our feeder lately and realized with a shock that in the 25 years I’ve been writing this week- ly column I’ve mentioned grackles just once or twice. Most often in June, when readers are annoyed by ‘big black birds’ dropping waste from their nest into swimming pools. It’s not kind, or politically correct, to think of common grackles as bullies, when they’re simply intent on filling their bellies and getting on with court- ship and breeding, same as every other bird in spring. But they’re so big, loud and pushy, and there are so many of them -- the seventh most numerous bird species in North America, according to the latest Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. Yet, surely there’s lots to admire about these bold, brassy members of the black- bird family. For one thing, they’re handsome. Mid- night black from afar, the males turn iri- descent in sunlight, gleaming a glossy blue, purple and bronze on their head, neck and shoulders. When they fan their long tails and tip up their head in court- ship display, the smaller, duller females must go gaga. Like humans, grackles are resilient and omnivorous. They’re commonly seen strutting across a lawn, picking up grubs, caterpillars, earthworms, grasshoppers and spiders, but in season will eat frogs, small rodents, bird eggs and nestlings, as well as grains, acorns, berries and seeds. They happily make themselves at home everywhere people have cleared away forests. Grackles are highly sociable, nesting in small colonies in grass-and-twig nests usually hidden in evergreens. When the young have fledged, families gather together in ever larger flocks, often with starlings and redwings, until in fall they can number in the hundreds of thou- sands. They’re attentive parents, with Mom doing the incubating and Dad helping to feed their four or five young. ’ll never forget watching a grackle fam- ily riding a floating tree down the Mis- sissippi River one summer, the parents gathering food onshore and carrying it out to their fledglings as they were swept along, en route to New Orleans.

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. You may have a condition called “Sciatica” if you’re suffering from any of these irritating conditions. Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniations. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away! Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated with chiropractic adjustments. “What’s The Chance This Will Work For Me?” Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly. Even top athletes and entertainers… like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctors they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. Here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic… “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” –British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” -Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Read what this chiropractic patient had to say: “Before Chiropractic I could not walk far before my back would hurt and I would get tingling in my legs. Now my back is moving better and I can walk without any problems.” - Linda F., Pickering “Before Chiropractic...I could not live. Constant 24/7 pain in my back and Sciatica all the time. Chiropractic treatments has changed my life. First time in years I feel good and sciatica is gone. I would recommend chiropractic to anyone suffering from pain. You will feel like a new person!” - Debbie S., Ajax This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back to working out, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

You need someone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

Council gave staff the go-ahead on Monday night to authorize a permit to Canadian Food Truck Festivals in order to hold the food truck event at Esplanade Park in Pickering from Aug. 5 to 7. The six-day permit will allow two days for event set-up, three days for operations and one day for clean-up. The festival is a family-friendly event with free admission and features live music, a bev- erage area (with liquor license) and a chil- dren’s midway. In 2015, it attracted more than 20 trucks and 10,000 visitors to Esplanade Park. The Pickering Food Truck Festival also collected donations for its charity of choice, SickKids Foundation. In 2015, more than $25,000 was raised for the charity. Last year’s event was only two days, but it will run for three in 2016.

Woman charged with impaired driving, danced in street in Ajax Newmarket resident arrested after 911 calls AJAX -- Two separate 911 calls to police about an impaired driver led to the arrest of a 25-year-old Newmarket woman in Ajax Satur- day night. A caller dialed 911 just after 10 p.m. on April 16 to report a black Dodge Journey weaving across lanes on Hwy. 401, exit- ing at Salem Road. Police responded but did not spot the car. Fifty minutes later, another call- er reported the same car driving on the wrong side of the road on Rossland Road East. According to the caller, the car then turned north on Audley Road and the Sean Heeger sheeger@durhamregion.com AJAX -- May is Asian and South Asian Month in Ajax and the Indo- Canadian Culture Association is having a couple of events to cele- brate.

She was eventually released with conditions. Durham police report she was on of 10 peo- ple charged with impaired driving over the weekend.

Joined by Durham College officials and local MPPs, Reza Moridi, minister of training, colleges and universities for Ontario, made the announcement out- side the ageing portable building which will be replaced with a three-storey Cen- tre for Collaborative Education. The news that the campus’s oldest building will be replaced comes as Dur- ham College prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2017. Mr. Moridi pointed out during the college’s first years, it was made up of temporary buildings includ- ing the Simcoe building. “It’s only fitting that the project will be underway during Durham’s 50th anniver- sary year helping to bridge the college’s past to its future,” he said. The new building will include an entre- preneurship centre, a global class initia- tive where students will be able to access online lectures from around the world, a health sciences facility including state-of- the art classrooms and labs, space for the foundations program which helps stu- dents transition into college or university- level courses and the aboriginal student centre. “In all these programs links to industry and the broader community will be key,” said Mr. Moridi. “Up to 1,200 students in different programs are expected to regu- larly use this building.” Durham College president Don Lovisa expects the total price tag to be roughly $35 million. Durham College will launch a capital campaign and work with the government to acquire the remainder of the required funding. He said he’s not the first person to vow to replace the Simcoe Building, and pointed out he promised it would be done before he retired. “The building needs to be replaced, it’s a poor learning space, it’s a poor teaching space and it doesn’t serve our students’ needs anymore and like everything we’ve done on this campus, it’s trying to look at the future and what we need to expand our services to students and expand the programs for students,” said Mr. Lovisa. “It’s time to replace it. It’s a temporary building and if you’ve been in the Sim- coe Building, you’ll see why we have to replace it.” He said the college is finalizing plans for the new building, but the hope is workers will be in the ground by the fall. The con- struction will take 18 to 24 months. “It’s a historic building that has served us well but it’s at the end of its life and its a wonderful time, as the minister said, to celebrate our 50th anniversary and leg- acy for the future by building something amazing for the future for today’s and tomorrow’s learners,” said Mr. Lovisa. 1298 Kingston Rd, Unit 2, Pickering, ON L1V 3M9 Phone:905-420-8868 Fax:905-420-8878 Now Open!

Your grass starting to turn green. Frequent watering, proper fertilization, pest management, and mowing are all essential components of lawn maintenance. But there is more to those beautiful blades of grass than just aesthetic appeal. The following are some interesting facts about grass that even the most devoted lawn enthusiasts might be surprised to learn. • Grass is defi ned as any plant of the family Gramineae, a group of vascular plants that grow across the globe. • There are as many as 10,000 varieties of grass in the world. These range from grass to rice to wheat to bamboo. • Many grasses are annual or perennial herbs with fi brous roots and rhizomes. • Twenty percent of Earth’s vegetation is comprised of grass. • Grasses have been transformed into paper and home decor items. Bamboo, which is a type of grass, is frequently used for ooring because it is durable and sustainable. • Grass is mostly comprised of water, which makes up about 80 percent of grass and 90 percent of grass clippings. • A typical lawn will have about six grass plants per square inch. Some lawns may have millions of grass plants. • The average lawn releases enough oxygen to sustain four families of four.

THE GREAT RIB EXPERIENCEEXPERIENCE 25 CONSUMERS DRIVE, WHITBY |905 444-9525 The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 40 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.

In addition to local residents, Town council members, the third mayor of Ajax, Bill Parish, Ajax MP Mark Hol- land and Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson attended. The bust, created by renowned sculptor Les Drysdale, is made of bronze and stands roughly three feet tall. It was made as a testament to a man considered an integral part of the development of Ajax as a commu- nity. “It’s so important for people to be aware of our historical legacy ... we should know and take pride in our history,” said Drysdale. Pat Bayly had a major influence on Ajax and had strong ties to the town long before he became the first mayor. Bayly, born June 20, 1903, was a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Toronto before tak- ing over Camp X, the communica- tions and spy training camp located on the Oshawa-Whitby border, dur- ing the Second World War. A lieu- tenant-colonel in the British Army, he worked secretly with many peo- ple from the intelligence community. He was directly responsible for many Allied accomplishments during the war, and once it was over, the evolu- tion of the town. “It’s extremely important that we acknowledge the contributions of Pat Bayly,” said Mayor Steve Parish. “He made outstanding contributions, not only to this community, but to this country.” Also speaking at the unveiling was former mayor Bill Parish, Bayly’s friend and author of Benjamin de For- est (Pat) Bayly the Unknown Cana- dian. The senior Parish remembered Bayly as a man who lived to serve. “He always knew the issues and had the ability to get to the heart of the issues,” said Bill Parish. “He set Ajax on the road to being the great planned community it is today.” Despite all his contributions not only to Ajax, but also to Canada, he’s not well known here, as every per- son who spoke, including his niece, noted. Bill Parish’s hope is that by placing the statue in a prominent spot and educating people about him, resi- dents will come to appreciate him. The project cost $50,000, which came from a Canadian Ministry of Heritage grant. The bust will be kept at Town Hall until the completion of the Vision at Pat Bayly Square development, where it will take up permanent residence. Tandoori Haddock can be made quickly for a weeknight meal Preparation Time: 5 minutes Marinating time: 20 to 30 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: serves 4 Tandoori Haddock Tip: Most supermarkets now carry tandoori paste. You can usually find it in the ethnic food aisle where Indian and Asian sauces are displayed. Tandoori paste 50 ml, 1/4 cups Low-fat yogurt 50 ml, 1/4 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice 15 ml 1 tbsp 4 Haddock fillets 420 grams 14 oz In a shallow dish, combine tandoori paste, yogurt and lemon juice. Add fish, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat broiler, with rack set 4 inches (10 cm) from the top. Place fish on baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the top is lightly browned. Serving Idea: For a balanced meal, serve with basmati rice and steamed sugar snap peas.

We’re all working hard to bring you the kind of programming you want -- inspir- ing, challenging, engaging, thought-pro- voking and, heck yes, even entertaining. You might be surprised at the wild array of creative and cultural things to do right here in your own backyard. At The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, we’re shining a bright light on our local commu- nity. We’re looking for meaningful, inter- active ways to connect you with our arts programming and national calibre exhi- bitions. We’ve added unorthodox gallery programming like yoga and mindfulness sessions to our roster. Surprised? Surveys suggested it and we agreed -- what better place than an art gallery for gentle move- ment and quiet reflection? On a more traditional arts note, check out the meditative quality of working with clay at the Visual Arts Centre of Claring- ton. On the flipside, art galleries can be amazing places for social gathering. The all-ages, RMG Fridays, on the first Friday of each month, and Station Gallery’s April Drawing for Art are great examples of amped-up cultural events that bring peo- ple together in celebration of art. Wheth- er you like your arts and culture expe- rience served up slow and quiet, full of energy and enthusiasm, or somewhere in between, your Durham Region art spaces have something in store for you. If you know your public art gallery well, visit soon. If you never thought a public art gallery or museum was the place for you, give it a try! You might be surprised to find that there’s a whole lot more going on behind those doors than you imagined. Your Durham Region galleries are free to visit, so drop by for 10 minutes or stay for an hour. Sometimes it takes a few visits to feel a connection. Consider a gallery hop. Start your day at the RMG, SG or VAC and plot your course from there. You may want to add a visit to Parkwood Estate, the Canadian Automo- tive Museum or the Oshawa Community Museum. And, finally, it may not feel like it right now but summer is just around the cor- ner. If you’re looking for ways your kids can flex their creative muscles, public art galleries across Durham Region have a plethora of summer art camp options. Be warned, programming is top notch, so spots will fill up fast. Check out the websites for more details -- and then jump in with both feet. -- rmg.on.ca , www.vac.ca , www.whit- bystationgallery.com , www.parkwood- estate.com , www.canadianautomotive- museum.com , www.oshawamuseum. org -- Donna Raetsen-Kemp is the CEO of The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa WHAT’S ON Donna Raetsen-Kemp Guest columnist ‘Flippin Fiddler’ plays Ajax DURHAM -- Scott Woods is returning to the area to fiddle and fundraise.

The recent Masters golf tournament saw Ernie Els and Jordan Spieth choke big-time. Els six-putted from six feet. Uncon- scious anxiety, fear and nerves can do funny things to the body. Good golf requires total comfort, relax- ation, confidence and focus. When we are afraid of making mistakes we get out of our comfort zone. We try too hard and tense up the grip, arms, head, feet and make a tentative, jerky swing that tends to decelerate. In particular, unconscious and invol- untary wrist tremors prevent the stroke from being smooth and accelerating through the stroke. When we miss makeable shots, our brain tends to go into shock and now we rush to get the next one completed with- out thinking or going through our nor- mal routine. This is the same experience for all sports. When asked what was going on in his head Ernie said, “I can’t explain it. It’s unexplainable. I couldn’t get the putter back.” It’s clear that Ernie was in total shock and felt helpless and powerless to stop, think and act calmly. Later in the Masters tournament, Spi- eth, one of the coolest and best golfers on the planet, bogeyed 10 and 11 and then racked up a quadruple bogey on the next hole, a par 3. He lost six shots in three holes. His first shot on the par 3 landed in the water, the next one in the water from 80 yards and the next in the bunker from the same spot. He could have easily won the Masters a second time in a row if he had just parred the hole. Spieth seemed invincible until his col- lapse on the back nine. The bottom line here is that we are all subject to choking. So how do we deal with it? • Slow down, breathe deeply. • Realize mistakes happen and learn from the experience. • Be kind to yourself. • Realize this is a temporary experience that does not have to define your worth. • Get help and learn how to deal with anxiety, choking and nerves.

Or anything else in the fridge, for that matter. It’s primarily in the sum- mer that the four Car- rick boys are back home together, since three of them are in the midst of hockey careers, includ- ing the youngest, Josh, a 20-year-old defenceman with the Barrie Colts. Carrick is aided by experience gleaned from the other three, who also played in the Ontar- io Hockey League, but is attempting to accomplish something none of the others were able to; name- ly, win the J. Ross Robert- son Cup, presented to the OHL champions. “I definitely feel like they paved a little bit of a path for me, but once I came into the league I kind of wanted to make a name for myself,” says Carrick, a stay-at- home blue-liner who has become a regular in his third season with the Colts. “It was definitely a bit of a battle my first cou- ple of years, but the competitive aspect of me helped bring my game up a bit.” The family, which founded McAs- phalt Industries in Toronto, moved from Stouffville to Goodwood in 2008, to a small farm “out in the boonies, a nice quiet spot,” Carrick says. Carrick was drafted in the seventh round, 142nd overall by the Colts in 2012 and spent the next season with the Stouffville Spirit in Tier 2 before jumping up to the OHL, but played only 68 games over the next two seasons with a perenni- ally strong Barrie team. Finally given a regular role this season, Carrick has been mostly part of the team’s third D-pairing with Cameron Lizotte, putting up 2-13-15 stats in 63 games with a plus/minus of +28. Although admit- tedly not much of an offensive threat, he scored twice and was named first star in a 5-2 playoff win over the North Bay Battalion, helping his team to a five- game quarter-final victory. “I definitely kind of sur- prised myself with that too,” he jokes of the multi-goal game. “I was just getting pucks through and on net, and definitely some lucky bounces there as well.” The Colts fin- ished second in the Eastern Con- ference with a record of 43-22-0-3 and will face fourth- place Niagara in the semifinals after the IceDogs’ shocking sweep of top-seeded Kingston. The IceDogs are led offensively by shifty forward Josh Ho-Sang, whose incredible talent is well known to Carrick from having been teammates together in minor hock- ey. “I personally definitely know the skill that he has,” Carrick says of Ho-Sang, who has 15 points in nine playoff games. “It’s defi- nitely scary, but I think if we stick to our game and play steady defence, we should be able to shut him down.” Carrick’s oldest brother, Jake, has moved on from hockey and now works at McAs- phalt, while the other two are in the Ameri- can Hockey League, Sam with the Toron- to Marlies and Trevor with the Charlotte Checkers. Carrick could be back for an overage sea- son in the OHL next year, but for now is focused on the task at hand, which begins with Game 1 of the semifinals Thursday, April 21 at the Barrie Molson Centre. “If you look at the big picture, we’re only halfway there, and our goal is definitely to win the OHL championship,” he says. “It’s still going to be a long ride. This is where you have to really get gritty.” 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 • Ap r i l 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 29 AP BrandNameFlooring.LowPrices.AlwaysinStock.

AJAX — The first-round of the Ajax Men’s Basketball league playoffs couldn’t have been any closer. The Right Step, which finished third during the regular season, trailed last-place Logi- cal Technical Solutions 24-14 at the half but stormed back for a 39-38 win. Guard Billy Jack, the team leader all season, drove to the hoop for the tying basket in the dying seconds and was fouled on the play. He hit the free throw to put his team up by one. Logical then appeared to hit a three-point- er at the buzzer, but it was determined the shot was a split second late. Centre Brian Marsellus tallied 15 points while Claude Whitfield and Jack had 10 each for the winners. Tim Lane had an even dozen and Karl Hutchinson 11 for Logical. The second playoff game saw North Alli- ance Press in a similar position as they trailed the Top Shelf 23-8 at halftime, but reversed the score in the second half to force overtime. Shelf scored four in OT including two on a technical to win 45-43. Mickey Dill led the Shelf with 15 points while Sherwin James had a dozen for NAP. Ajax Men’s Basketball playoff games go down to the wire (NC) To ensure a lifetime of smiles, here are some useful tips to encourage the youth in your family to be enthusi- astic about their daily oral hygiene habits. Children ages 3 to 5: Help your young children to brush their teeth twice a day, using a pea-sized amount of fluo- ride toothpaste. Show them how to brush every tooth surface and their tongue, and make sure that they spit out the toothpaste when they are done. Now is also the time to teach them how to clean between their teeth. Children ages 6 to 12: Encourage them to clean between their teeth once a day, in addition to brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste. Help children to make healthy food choices, avoiding sweets and sugars. Have them fitted for a sports mouthguard to be worn during athletic activity. Teenagers: Remind them to brush their teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash, and clean in between the teeth at least once a day. Help your teenager to eliminate tobacco use and eat nu- tritious foods that are low in sugar. Teens should also remember to wear a sports mouthguard during active play, and should be vacci- nated against the HPV virus—a risk factor for oral cancer—for addi- tional protection. Good oral health is essential to to- tal health and well-being at any age.

Stan approached his illness and life with dignity, a positive outlook, and an unrelenting sense of humour. Stan was born and raised in Montreal by the late Marjorie (Hansen) and George Cuciurean. Beloved husband for 45 years to Debbie (Davis). Dear father of sons Peter (Ingrid) and Michael (Ashley), very proud grandpa to Felicity and Grace. Survived by siblings Katherine (David), Frank (Lucie), Peter, Brenda, Betty Anne and Ronnie. From humble beginnings as a kid in the back streets of Hochelaga, Stan rose quickly through the ranks at Dun & Bradstreet. His perseverance, dedication and strong work ethic earned him respect in a career of which he was extremely proud. Stan was an avid, loyal fan of his beloved Montreal Canadiens, despite leaving Montreal in 1970. A heartfelt thank you to all of Stan's healthcare workers for their care and compassion over the years, especially Maisie, Bruce, Lida, Gwen, Angela, Karen, Marguerite and Therese. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, April 22nd at ST. MARTIN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 1203 St. Martin's Drive, Pickering. Visitation at 2:00 p.m. Service at 3:00 p.m., with reception to follow. Memorial contributions may be made to the MS Society of Canada in Stan's name. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Barnes Memorial Funeral Home, 5295 Thickson Rd. N. Whitby.

Our grateful thanks to the caring staff at Country Estates Retire- ment Home and the Ross during her difficult last 6 months. Donations to The Lung Asso- ciation would be appreciated.

She will be forever remembered by her children Robina (John), Colleen (Chuck), and Robert, along with grandchildren David, Jeff, Heather, Eric, Grant, and Carson (deceased). She was beloved great-grandmother to Kendra, Codey and Braydin. She was predeceased by the love of her life Allen (1999). She will be remembered for her incessant kindness, dedication to the Red Cross, and fabulous desserts, breads, and hand-painted chocolates. She played a wicked game of Euchre and had a smile that could light up a room. Elinor passed away as she lived her life; quietly, but opinionated, and above all, with dignity. We would especially like to thank the Palliative Care team at the Oshawa Cancer Clinic for their incredible support. Elinor dedicated her life to helping others and, in lieu of flowers or donations, the family ask that you be kind to people, especially suffering with dementia. As per her wishes there will be no service. Her star is shining bright tonight! PAWELSKI, Gunter - It is with great sadness that the Pawelski family announces the passing of Gunter on April 20, 2016 at the age of 81 after a long battle with Parkinson's and more recently with dementia.

Dear brother to Ruth (Helmut) and Heidi (Karl-Heinz) and their families in Germany. Dear brother-in-law to Lainey VanWonderen and extended Vermunt family in Holland. Our thanks to the staff at Seven Oaks Long-Term Care Home for their dedicated care of Gunter.
