DURHAM - The province has big plans for public transit, but Transportation Minister Jeff Yu- rek was coy about projects in Durham Region. Yurek was the keynote speak- er at a transportation summit hosted by chambers of commerce and boards of trade in Durham Region. It was held on Friday, April 5 at the Pickering nuclear generating station and attended by about 100 people. "I look forward to coming back with more news soon once we have all the facts in front of us," he said. "I'm very excited about where we'll go in the next four years in the province of Ontario. I'm looking forward to achieving great things as we go forward over the next four years in order to deliver what's best for the peo- ALL 4 GO STATIONS IN DURHAM TO GET IMPROVEMENTS: TRANSPORTATION MINISTER KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com See PICKERING,page 3 Jeff Yurek, Ontario Transportation Minister, was the keynote speaker during a transportation summit hosted by Durham Region chambers of commerce/boards of trade at the Pickering Nuclear Station Information Centre April 5.

On extending GO train service out to Bowmanville, he said the different proposals are under re- view. "I expect more information coming my way from Metrolinx (the provincial agency that over- sees GO Transit) and how we can proceed with expansion of the GO network. I'm pretty excited about the plans," he said, adding with Bowmanville "all options are on the table. I'm looking forward to see us proceeding on that. There's no time line on it." Pickering-Uxbridge MPP Peter Bethlenfalvy opened the summit, saying, "It really is Durham's time. Durham is one of the fastest growing regions in all of Ontario." Durham's population is expec- ted to grow by 50 per cent in the next 20 years, Bethlenfalvy said. "Population growth is big here. We have to think ahead," he stated. "As leaders, we really have to focus on the do. There's one thing I've learned in politics is there's nothing like getting things done for the people. Not put it off forever, but getting things done." He said a resolution to a pos- sible Pickering airport is needed. An airport is needed if the area is going to continue to grow, he noted. "It's sat undeveloped all this time. Myself and with my Dur- ham colleagues will push the fed- eral government to either provide certainty around developing the lands in the near term or return the lands to the people," he said. Businesses are exploring op- portunities to expand and they are looking east, he noted. An airport would be "key to unlocking the economic poten- tial for the region," Bethlenfalvy added. When he was asked about a Pickering airport, Yurek said Bethlenfalvy has been "a champi- on on that issue in this region. I'm fully supportive of the direction the minister is heading. The gov- ernment is as well. It's incumbent on the federal government to step forward and tell the people of Durham what their plans are. I'm trusting Minister Bethlenfalvy with his leadership on this is- sues. I fully support him 100 per cent." Another hot button topic in Durham are tolls on Highways 412 and 418. "Everything is on the table. We'll find a solution that best fits the province of Ontario and in particular, the people of Onta- rio," Yurek stated. "Our ears are open and we're listening. We want to work with the members that are representing you here to find that solution." Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier said, "We all have transit systems outside of Toronto. We all need to get our residents home safe." He added the Durham Region Transit system needs funding to expand. Yurek said the government wants to work with municipali- ties on their transit systems, how- ever, "the previous government unfortunately left us in a bad sit- uation." "We believe in public transit. it's a vital part of Ontario, partic- ularly Durham Region. Effective public transit is absolutely criti- cal to reducing gridlock. That's why we need to improve and build it quicker. In Durham, we'll continue to improve services to customers in the region." Upgrades to GO will "make commuting a little bit easier," he said. "Improvements are coming to all four Durham GO stations. The plans for each one are a little different." There will be bicycle parking, improved signs and better eleva- tors. "All are coming to a station near your. It will support eco- nomic development with ser- vice." The province continues to work with Durham Region Tran- sit to expand bus service in the ar- ea, he noted. As for the extension of High- way 407 east to Highways 35/115, he said the project is "on schedule and is expected to be completed by next year."

You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It’s what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it’s an extremely anxious position to find yourself in. This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn’t sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you’ll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee. To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled “How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes”.

A cause for the fire, which affected two town- house units and resulted in water damage to a third, has yet to be deter- mined, fire Chief John Hagg said. "We don't consider the fire to be suspicious, but we continue to investi- g ate," the chief said Fri- day morning. "The Office of the Fire Marshal was notified, but I don't know at this point if they'll be in- vestigating." The call, at a construc- tion site on Sapphire Drive near Taunton Road, came in at about 3:25 a.m. April 5. Crews scrambled to battle a blaze that was well-established upon their arrival, Hagg said. "When we arrived on scene one of the struc- tures was fully involved and it was extended into a second unit. Crews did a good job of stopping it." Construction site fires are notoriously difficult to fight, Hagg noted. The units involved in Friday morning's fire were near- ing completion, having been bricked and dry- walled, he said. No dam- age estimate has yet been established. "It'll be a high-dollar loss fire," Hagg said. "I can't say enough about how hard our crews worked. The initial attack on the fire was amazing." Firefighters remained on scene Friday morning. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. TOWNHOUSES UNDER CONSTRUCTION DAMAGED IN EARLY MORNING PICKERING FIRE JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS DURHAM - Traffic lights at Millington Cres- cent are a step closer to be- ing installed. Durham Region's works committee ap- proved installing the lights at Millington and Westney without a traffic study being done, and all the work being paid for by Ajax. Residents of the street, one block north of Kings- ton Road on the east side of Westney, have been fighting to get traffic lights installed for a few years. It's extremely diffi- cult to make a left off of Millington onto Westney in the morning. In January, an elderly woman trying to turn left off Millington onto West- ney Road was hit by a northbound pickup truck and died of her injuries. Ajax Coun. Marilyn Crawford was successful in having the works com- mittee drop the need for a traffic study before the lights are installed. The works committee met on Wednesday, April 3. Regional staff wanted a traffic study done before design and installation could be done. That would have pushed the project back by about a year. "We know it won't meet the warrants," she said. The traffic study would cost about $20,000, she add- ed. Ramesh Jagannathan, director of transportation and field services, agreed that the "warrants wouldn't be met because of the low volume of traffic off Millington." "We've done a couple of things to improve sight lines," Crawford said. A Durham Region Transit stop on the south side of Millington has been moved to the north side. School buses are also pick- ing up students on the north side as well. "It hasn't slowed any- one down," she said. Ajax is paying the full $450,000 to install the lights, she noted. The design work could be done this year and lights installed next year, she said. Pickering Coun. Bill McLean supported Craw- ford, saying lights "should have very little impact on Westney. We know how important it is to the resi- dents." Regional council will consider the matter when it meets on Wednesday, April 24. TRAFFIC LIGHTS COULD BE COMING TO MILLINGTON INTERSECTION IN AJAX The intersection of Millington Crescent and Westney Road has been dangerous for years. Now, the Town is looking to install traffic lights next year to make it safer. An 85-year-old woman was killed in January trying to turn left off Millington onto Westney.

Shortly after 1 p.m. students walked out of class to gather out- side their schools and draw at- tention to larger class sizes for Grades 4 to 12, reduction in teacher numbers over time through attrition, and funding cuts for programs. The provincewide protest took shape on social media, led by the Students Say No organiza- tion, which estimated more than 100,000 students from roughly 700 schools took a stand to make their voices heard. NEWS Clockwise from above: Hundreds of students from Courtice Secondary School and Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School walked out of class and met at the corner of Courtice Road and Hwy. 2 April 4 during a province-wide walkout to protest the Ford government’s education funding cuts. Students at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering joined in the walk out and Grade 12 student Zoe Clarke voiced her opinion along with a large group of the school’s student body. Students at Pickering High School in Ajax registered their disapproval of the government’s education funding cuts.

PICKERING - A new partnership agreement be- tween Pickering Fire Ser- vices and Wounded War- riors Canada will provide more mental health servic- es to firefighters and their families. "Dangers and stresses are part of our job," said Fire Chief John Hagg last Thursday, during an offi- cial signing of the agree- ment at the department's headquarters in the Bayly Street fire station. "Our f irefighters may face challenges coping with the adverse effects these events can have on their own lives." The partnership will strengthen the way the de- partment can help fire- fighters and their families, the chief said. Firefighters respond to traumatic events "almost on a daily basis," said Neil Delory, vice-president of the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association (PPFA). Speaking in an in- terview, he said what trig- gers stress in one firefight- er could be different than what triggers stress in an- other, and a support sys- tem is needed that's "defi- nitely a team effort." "We're not special peo- ple. We're put in special cir- cumstances." In addition to fire calls, firefighters respond to medical emergencies, acci- dent scenes and rescue sit- uations. "Traditionally, as a fire service, we absorb things with a 'suck it up buttercup' mentality," said Delory. "For a long time a lot of us were suffering and didn't reach out. Programs such as this will help our members when they're suffering." That could be as simple as having someone to talk with on the other end of a phone call, he said. Mike Palachik, presi- dent of the PPFA, thanked the fire chief and the city for the new partnership. "He's looking out for us, he has our back," he said of the fire chief. "All of us at some point will come across difficulties because of our job." Wounded Warriors Can- ada executive director Scott Maxwell said one of the big- gest challenges to mental health is understanding it's a leadership issue, with ac- cess to services held back far too many times. "Trauma is trauma," he said, adding the partner- ship with Pickering Fire Services will ensure pro- gram access information gets to the people who need it. "We're big on not just paying lip service to men- tal health." No one service or one or- ganization can be 100 per cent of the solution in deal- ing with mental health, he added. "We're here to help ... it's OK not to feel OK." Currently, there are no Pickering firefighters on leave from their jobs due to stress-related mental health issues, said Hagg. "We're very lucky." He said the signing of the partnership with Wounded Warriors is "an important day for us. It's the future."

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland JUDI BOBBITT judibobbitt@gmail.com WELLNESS A new north-south road west of Brock Road, con- necting Dersan Street to Zents Drive, is planned as part of a proposed condo- minium development. The 30 stacked residen- tial units - proposed by the numbered company 2545633 Ontario Inc. - are proposed for the west side of Brock Road, north of Dersan Street, within the Duffin Heights neighbourhood. A detached home currently on the site will be torn down. To the north and south of the site are vacant lands owned by Lebovic Enter- prises, which has an ap- proved draft plan of subdi- vision for more residential condos in stacked units. The numbered compa- ny and Lebovic are using the same architect and working together to ensure that the developments have a unified look, Pickering's planning committee heard Monday (April 1). "I wouldn't want one to stick out like a sore thumb," said Ward 3 Re- gional Coun. David Pickles. A portion of the land has been given to the City by 2545633 Ontario Inc. for the new north-south road, with costs fronted by Le- bovic, said chief planner Catherine Rose. A woodlot to the west of the new road will be protect- ed under jurisdiction of the Toronto and Region Conser- vation Authority, with no development on the west side, said Rose in response to questions from Pickles. There were no com- ments from area residents on the proposal, which will be evaluated by staff prior to a future recommenda- tion report to the planning committee.

DURHAM - Two years ago, Daijza Diacres over- heard boys at her school being encouraged to attend the Durham District School Board's (DDSB) Cy- pher conference, which aims to empower black male students. Daijza's first question - was there a conference for black girls too? If not, could there be? On March 29, her sug- gestion became a reality with the DDSB's first annu- al Empower Her ... Roots Conference for black girls in grades six to eight. About 145 girls from schools in Ajax and Picker- ing attended the inaugural event. "I found that they learned a lot," says Daijza, who is now a Grade 9 stu- dent at Dumbarton High School in Pickering. The conference fea- tured a lineup of local black female professionals, including a doctor, phar- macist, lawyer and police officer. "It's something rare that I don't see often," Daijza says, of meeting a black fe- male police officer. Students at the confer- ence also had the chance to discuss topics like body im- age, shadeism, mental health and self esteem. "We wanted to allow the girls the opportunity to kind of grow within them- selves and see the impor- tance of being a female and a black female today," ex- plains Kerron Slack, one of the conference co-chairs and a Grade 6 teacher at Highbush Public School in Pickering. Organizers say the event also aimed to chal- lenge negative stereotypes about black women, which can have an impact on how black girls view them- selves. "Equity and wellness go hand in hand," notes Dawn Vasey, the other confer- ence co-chair. The event ties into larg- er equity efforts underway at the DDSB, including a Compendium of Action for Black Student Success. Organizers hope to run the conference again next year and open it to girls from across the school board's municipalities. EMPOWERMENT EVENT FOR BLACK GIRLS A FIRST AT THE DDSB JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com COMMUNITY Daijza Dacres is a Grade 9 student at Dunbarton High School who came up with the idea for the Durham District School Board to host a conference for black girls. Jason Liebregts / Metroland DURHAM - The Dur- ham Catholic District School Board is taking ap- plications from the public to fill a vacant trustee seat. The resignation of Osh- awa Trustee Paul Pulla was announced at the board's March 25 meeting. Pulla says that he is dealing with serious health issues. "I felt it was in the best interest or the board for the ratepayers of Oshawa to have someone present at the board table to re- present them," he said, not- ing that resignations are rare for trustees. "The deci- sion to resign is never easy, especially not after a 55- year affiliation with the board." The board of trustees approved a resolution to fill the vacancy by appoint- ment, which is permitted under the Education Act. To qualify, a candidate must be a Canadian citizen who is 18 or older and lives within the DCDSB's bound- aries, as well as a baptized Roman Catholic who is shown as an English-lan- guage Catholic school board supporter on the mu- nicipal assessment list. Candidates cannot be an employee of the DCDSB or any other school board or school authority in Onta- rio. Applications will be ac- cepted until April 29; qual- ified candidates will then be contacted for an inter- view with the board of trustees. The successful candi- date will be sworn in at the June 10 board meeting. A cover letter and re- sume can be emailed to trusteeapplica- tions@dcdsb.ca.

There were 1,617 new listings in March 2019, compared to 1,140 in the previous month representing a 42 per cent increase. March 2018 saw 1,755 new listings. “The spring market is heating up in Durham. It is encouraging to see a jump in sales on a month-over-month basis as we enter into a typically busier time of year during the spring and summer months,” stated Sorichetti. The average selling price in Durham reached $604,796 last month. In comparison, the average selling price was $580,743 in February 2019. The average selling price in March 2019 represents a slight increase from the same time last year. DRAR is pleased with the various measures included in the 2019 Federal Budget that address housing affordability and provide support for first-time home buyers. The budget included the launch of The First-Time Home Buyer’s incentive program, increase to the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) withdraw limit from $25,000 to $35,000, as well as other actions that support housing supply and affordability. “REALTORS® have been advocating for the modernization of the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) and we are very happy to see this included in the budget,” said Sorichet- ti. “The OSFI mandated stress test continues to impact home buyer’s ability to qualify for a mortgage and has pushed several potential buyers to the sidelines. The stress test has had a significant impact on the housing market and we are encour- aged that the federal government is carefully monitoring its effect.” “Millenials are passionate about homeownership, it is a positive step forward to have the federal government acknowledge the challenges first-time home buyers face and making housing issues top priority in the 2019 Budge for Canadians,” said Sorichetti. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , A p r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 9 | 16 1895 Clements Road Unit 125, Pickering Best Accounting Best Accounting Best Accounting Best Tax Preparation Best Tax Preparation Best Tax Preparation ACCOUNTING & TAX SERVICES GregoryBadley Income Tax FlaT PrIce:$99+hsT Business, Rental, Capital Gain, Employment Expenses, etc. Extra charge.

Keane was diagnosed with triplegia cerebral palsy, causing paralysis in three of his limbs including his legs and left hand. However, this has never stopped him from doing what he wanted and inspir- ing the people around him. Keane, 20, is a second- year student of sports man- agement at Durham Col- lege. He is also the assis- tant equipment manager for the women's hockey team at the University of Institute of Technology, re- cently rebranded as Onta- rio Tech University. Head coach of the wom- en's hockey team, Justin Caruana, says Keane's ded- ication to the team "in- spires players and staff to be better people. "'It's not about me, it's about the person next to me. That's the person Sam is," says Caruana. Keane's work ethic and selfless attitude earned him the first Sase Narayan Unsung Hero Award at On- tario Tech's athletic ban- quet last Thursday. Named after an Ontario Tech alumni, the award recog- nizes a student who has positively impacted a pro- gram or organization from behind the scenes. "I don't do this for the recognition, but the recog- nition is very kind," says Keane. Caruana says Keane has been inspirational ever since he emailed looking for a job two years ago. "Sam is such a caring person, I'm thrilled to work with him," says Caruana. "He always has a smile on his face." Caruana's says his deci- sion was solidified by the testimony of an NHL friend, James Neal, a Whit- by native and player for the Calgary Flames. Neal met Keane at the Grandview Children's Centre in Osha- wa where Keane is a mem- ber of the youth advisory committee. "He's his biggest fan," Caruana says with a laugh. While his job isn't al- ways easy, Keane says he never let his condition get in the way and none of his teammates ever treated him "like he was different. "Everybody on the team knows not everything is easy for me and they en- courage me," he says. "Some of my success needs to be attributed to the wom- en's hockey team." Keane says it's also im- portant for people to recog- nize Sase Narayan and the role he played in inspiring the award. While attending Onta- rio Tech, Narayan earned a Bachelor of Information Technology with honours. He also supported the ath- letic department by filming for the men's and women's hockey team, updating on- line stats, and even helped develop web streaming sites in 2007. "The athletic depart- ment felt that I deserved to be recognized for my con- tribution to the multiple programs I supported," says Narayan. "More im- portantly, however, to rec- ognize individuals who have a love for their teams." Narayan will also be making a donation to a team selected by the recipi- ent. Keane says he hopes children in a similar posi- tion don't feel like they can't do what they want - because he if can do it, so can they. "I want for other kids like me who want to do something to figure it out," says Keane. "Just go for it, don't give up."

Durham Farm Connec- tions is an education pro- gram that meets Ontario curriculum requirements and provides students the opportunity to learn about agriculture. The three day event was held April 2 to 4 at the Luther Vipond Memorial Arena in Brooklin. It included multi- ple live animal displays, as well as hands-on demonstra- tions provided by local farm- ers. These displays included dairy, beef, poultry, sheep, maple syrup, vegetables, ap- ples and crop station. Stu- dents also had the opportu- nity to have any of their questions answered by farm- ers. "For 14 years, Durham Farm Connections has pro- vided interactive opportuni- ties for students and resi- dents to learn about local ag- riculture in Durham Re- gion," said Brian Bridgeman, commissioner of economic development and planning. "Each year, the program does an amazing job at show- casing the value of agricul- ture in our community and the local economy." An open house event was held on April 3 as part of the program and provided an op- portunity for the general public to learn about agricul- ture and get a first-hand look at local farming. More than 975 attended, allowing the program to con- tribute 680 kilograms of food to the local food bank. "The Durham Farm Con- nections volunteer commit- tee delivers a quality, inter- active program. We would like to thank all 120 volun- teers for their effort and ded- ication to this program. We are also grateful for the sup- port from our local school boards, sponsors and agri- cultural organizations," said Nancy Rutherford, manager of economic development, agricultural and rural af- fairs. Durham Farm Connec- tions provides educational opportunities to both farm and non-farm communities in Durham Region to learn about agriculture. It was rec- ognized with the Ontario Premier's Award for Agri- food Innovation Excellence, along with the Watershed Award from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). Durham Farm Connec- tions also received the 2018 Farm & Food Care Champi- on Award. Durham Farm Connec- tions organizes an annual high school program that aligns with the Grade 9, 11 and 12 science curriculums as well, focusing on agricul- tural research and technolo- gy. DURHAM FARM CONNECTIONS CELEBRATES AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION WITH STUDENTS ACROSS DURHAM REGION CONTRIBUTED OSHAWA - A home inva- sion during which a north Oshawa resident was held at gunpoint early Thursday may have been a case of mis- taken identity, police say. Officers responded to a home in the area of Arbor- wood Drive and Wood- stream Avenue at about 1:40 a.m. April 4 after a man re- ported he'd been sitting out- side his home when he was approached by a stranger who asked repeatedly if he'd ordered a pizza. When he was asked to leave the sus- pect pulled a handgun and five other men wearing masks rushed the house. As the victim's family slept in the house the sus- pects held him and pep- pered him with questions about the whereabouts of a man they were looking for, police said. The suspects eventually left without tak- ing anything; it's believed they left the area in a car. The victim sustained no injuries in the incident, which police now believe may have been a case of mistaken identity. The suspect with the gun is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5 feet 9 with a thin build and cornrows. He wore dark clothing. The other sus- pects wore masks and dark clothing. This is the second home invasion reported by Dur- ham Regional Police this week.

Green Shirt Day was created by Boulet's parents to honour their son's lega- cy and raise awareness and increase registration for organ and tissue donation. Boulet registered as an organ and tissue donor when he turned 21, just five weeks before his death.

How- ever, it is when the vines go dormant that the eventual crop may be most affected. Careful winter preparation is needed. In cool and cold climate areas, grape vines go dor- mant when the weather turns colder and the days get shorter. Leaves drop off and vines seem to almost atrophy. Different grape variet- ies have different toleranc- es to growing conditions. In cold climate areas, temperatures may range from just below to very much below freezing. Vines such as those of vitis vinifera left "standing" will be in trouble if the temper- ature falls below -20 C. Hy- brid vines such as baco noir, for example, can with- stand lower temperatures. Susceptible vines are ei- ther buried or covered in a process called "hilling," which is done by a special- ized plowing equipment that "hills up" to a depth of 30 centimetres in late fall, thus protecting the vine above the vulnerable graft. Accumulation of snow also serves as vine insula- tion. After dormancy occurs, either during late winter or early spring the shoots on each vine are strategically pruned so that each bud left on the vine has the best chance of developing into flowers and new shoots. A sudden rise in temper- ature for an extended period could result in "tricking" the vine into flower production. This followed by a return to frosty weather could be dan- gerous to the crop. Paul Battilana of Casa Dea Winery mentioned that does not seem to be much concern by winema- kers so far this season but agrees that any early flow- ering would be vulnerable to frost. Caroline Granger at the Grange of Prince Edward County Winery stated while they had four signif- icant and extended thaws, it was early in the season and there was little risk of dormancy being disturbed. One problem that oc- curred was the extreme cold during this winter. Battilana stated, "We hit -27 C at the winery. We only tied down (covered) whatev- er we wanted to keep the fol- lowing year. Any of ours left above ground will be dead." Gerald Klose, viticulture director for Arterra Wines in Niagara, had this to say: "Winter in Niagara was cold. Some slight bud dam- age on vinifera varieties. We do not anticipate any loss of vines or potential crop." The spring season has started off on a cool side - a good thing as vines remain dormant and risk of spring frost remains low. Vintage 2019 - so far, so good.
