The Durham Culinary Association, a social networking organization to build awareness of local food and to support Durham food producers, culinary professionals and artisan food manufacturers, recently started up, and has quickly gathered interest from local res- taurants, schools and politicians. Culinary Association co-founder Philippe Trepanier, a certified Chef Du Cuisine, a con- sultant with various hospitality venues, and Pickering resident, has long been thinking of a way for local chefs to interact and share knowledge about who’s growing what in the region. “The more we look at this, the more we real- RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Chef Philippe Trepanier, a member of the Durham Culinary Association, was at Hendrix Restaurant Equipment and Supplies preparing a dish with Dunbarton High School’s junior chef team Jan. 13.

There were concerns about his safety after an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Rich- ter scale struck the country Tuesday; hun- dreds of thousands of people are feared dead. Constable Richard Fantinato, 47, was located in Jacmel on the south shore of the country, about 40 kilometres southwest of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Const. Fantinato is one of 82 police officers stationed in Haiti as part of a United Nations stabilization effort. The 12-year veteran of the Durham police service has been stationed in Haiti several times as part of the peacekeep- ing efforts and he began his current tour in July 2009. He was also stationed in Haiti in 2006 and has served in Israel, Cyprus, and Syria throughout a 23-year military career. In April 2009, he was recognized with an award from GlobalMedic for volunteering as part of its Rapid Response team in 2008, assisting flood victims in Haiti after multiple hurricanes touched down. Two other Durham officers have previously served in Haiti, but are no longer there. Durham police will be distributing dona- tion boxes to all community division build- ings with contributions going toward nation- al relief efforts in Haiti. POLICE Durham officer in Haiti safe President of mission has several colleagues there BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A local pastor who’s heavily involved in Haiti missions is terribly worried for his Haitian colleagues and the locals in the earthquake-devastated country. Dr. Sam Martin is the senior pastor of the Safe Haven Worship Centre in Pickering and is president of the Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission Inc., a charitable organization that helps in education and nutrition and child sponsorship programs. He hasn’t been able to reach anybody in the village of Jacmel, where the Arms of Jesus’ office is, on the southern coast of Haiti. He’s also having trouble finding peo- ple in Cap Rouge, where the Arms of Jesus has two schools, in the mountainous area to the southwest of the devastated Port-au- Prince. The two villages are not in the imme- diate earthquake area but are close enough for concern. “We’ve had no contact with our workers at all since the earthquake took place,” Dr. Martin said in a phone interview. The schools in Cap Rouge employ around 15 Haitians and Dr. Martin is also worried for the director who works in Jacmel and has a wife and children. “All the lines are down,” Dr. Martin said. “Communication is terrible.” Once Dr. Martin gets a sense of the Arms of Jesus’ situation in Haiti, the organization will start a relief effort. “We will be doing a lot to help out,” he said.

Angie Draskovic is the founder and presi- dent of Zoe Alliance, a company that sells gift items made in impoverished villages. The company pays the people who craft the items a fair wage and also puts 10 per cent from each item back into the community. The business relationship encourages economic development in the villages, including Bois de Lance in northern Haiti where local artists create a handmade wooden game called Ti Ta To 10. However, in the wake of the recent earth- quake that rocked the country, she’s switch- ing gears and appealing for donations to Open Door Haiti, the non-profit organization she works with. “The business I’m engaged in is kind of a subordinate priority,” said Ms. Draskovic. Bois de Lance is in the northern part of the country and was not physically damaged by the earthquake, but its impact will still be felt in the community. “Because all of the supplies that are import- ed into Haiti are imported into the south and the road infrastructure has been totally oblit- erated, the main impact is complete lack of food, water and gas,” she said. Ms. Draskovic said the north has similar- ly been impacted when the south was hit by hurricanes and the result was inflated prices for the necessities of life. Open Doors Haiti is primarily collecting monetary donations right now because they don’t have the capacity to ship supplies into the country. The money will go to helping maintain local Open Door programs. “There will be huge scarcity and the com- pound they have actually has a school and they have a feeding program for children,” she said. “They will be under great stress for access to rice and legumes and proteins.” Beyond that, there is a need in Haiti not just for aid, but long-term economic develop- ment. “They need a sustainable, smart eco- nomic development initiative that insulates them from constantly being subject to these devastating circumstances,” said Ms. Dras- kovic, citing buildings made with machine- pressed concrete blocks that could better withstand natural disasters as one possible outcome. She said if North American spent just 10 per cent of what they spend on gifts each year on products made in developing countries, it would result in $85 billion of eco- nomic development. To donate to Open Door Haiti, visit canada- helps.org, write “Canadian Centre for World Mission” in the search box and then select Angie Draskovic/Zoe Alliance as the fund/ designation. LOCAL RESPONSE Ajax business owner aims to help Haitians RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Angie Draskovic is the owner of Zoe Alliance Inc., a company that provides unique gifts and custom products that are handcrafted by the people of developing nations. One of these items is a board game called Ti Ta To 10, a mix of chess and checkers, that is handcrafted by the local artisans of Bois de Lance, Haiti. Draskovic is raising funds for Open Door Haiti for relief efforts following the earthquake.

Mandate achieved, but not by much DURHAM -- College teachers across Ontario have provided their union with a 57-per cent strike mandate. Faculty at 18 of 24 colleges voted Wednes- day to give their bargaining team a mandate to call a strike if negotiations are unsuccess- ful, according to the Ontario Public Service Employees Union. The group represents more than 9,000 full-time college professors, counsellors and librarians, including about 300 from Durham College. In November, after failed bargaining, col- leges exercised a new right to apply a con- tract, which includes a 1.75-per cent wage increase for each of the first two years and two per cent for each of the third and fourth years. The two sides are in conflict about a workplace agreement that impacts class sizes and hours worked each week. With a strike vote achieved, the union will be talking to the mediator and employer, said Ted Montgomery, chair of the OPSEU bar- gaining team for college faculty. “They’ve said publicly if there is an affirma- tive strike vote, they will return to the bargain- ing table and we will invite them to do that as soon as possible,” Mr. Montgomery said. He added there will be no walkout before mid-February. -with files from Torstar news services EDUCATION Ontario college teachers vote for strike action ne w s 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 0 5 P Call today Buy Factory Direct & SAVE!

RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Chef Philippe Trepanier, a member of the Durham Culinary Association, prepared a dish with Dunbarton High School’s junior chef team Jan. 13. With him, from left, were Alessandro Pistritto, Michelle Kakar, Dimitiz Rahimi and Kysa Bashir. ize it’s all about networking,” he said. Meanwhile, Dunbarton High School teach- er, farmer and culinary association co-found- er James Blair and his students set up a farm- ers’ market at Dunbarton last fall. The mar- ket was successful and ended with a chef’s challenge where local chefs were invited to a cook-off, using food from local producers. So Mr. Blair and Mr. Trepanier put their heads together and came up with the plans for an association. They hope to create and maintain a direc- tory of food service industry professionals living in Durham, linking them with produc- ers. This will create profitable partnerships for local businesses committed to bringing local food products to the consumer, as well as benefitting the farmers. Plans include educating Durham students on the food that’s available in the region and teaching them about the industry and what they’ll have to do to get involved. The idea is to get local farmers and chefs to guest teach the kids, to hopefully get them interested in maintaining the local industry in the future. Mr. Blair is working with the Durham Dis- trict School Board to implement farmers’ markets at all high schools across the region and hopes to also involve the Durham Cath- olic School Board. “I want Pickering to be a focal point of things that can be done when you get schools involved,” he said. Mr. Trepanier added it would be ideal to get schools to grow some of their own food and perhaps use it in breakfast programs for the kids. “There are a ton of things that would allow people to benefit,” he said. Pickering Coun. Bonnie Littley feels the association is going to be a catalyst to finally getting a permanent food policy council in the region. “I’m very excited and I think we’re on the right path for our own municipality and particularly regional,” she said. She feels there’s a huge advantage to the local economy with farmers selling to local businesses and restaurateurs. “I think it’s an economic sector that’s been thoroughly neglected but has huge potential,” she said. Mr. Blair pointed out local high-end chefs often buy food from outside of Canada because local farmers don’t sell some of the products they need, or other countries sell it for much less. Farmers, he said, may be reluc- tant to change since they’re unsure whether they’ll get a return on their investment. This is where the association will come into play, providing interaction between farmers and producers, allowing them to share their needs and concerns directly. Mr. Blair added buying locally not only funds local industry but also allows consumers to know exactly where their food is coming from. The Durham Culinary Association is hold- ing an open general meeting for chefs, farm- ers and food enthusiasts on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at Dunbarton High School, 655 Sheppard Ave., Pickering.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions THIEVERY Mom hoping son’s stolen Ipod gets returned To the editor: On Jan. 12 my son, who attends Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, had his Ipod stolen from a backpack in the locker room. I know people will say he shouldn’t have taken it to school, but that isn’t jus- tification for it to get stolen. The point of this is that someone took it upon himself to steal it, as if he need- ed it more than the person who owned it. It had been a gift he received not three weeks prior for Christmas. I am not in a financial place to be able to replace this item. I am hoping the person who took the Ipod will do the right thing and return it to its rightful owner, no questions asked. Please restore my faith in people. Dawn Lindsey Pickering FEDERAL POLITICS It’s time to wake up our politicians To the editor: The Parliament of Canada is suspend- ed, yet again. The business of the coun- try has stopped while elected representa- tives collect our tax dollars. Seems our neighbours to the south had a party in Boston about something simi- lar: “Taxation Without Representation.” Perhaps it’s time Canadians held our own tea party. Our American neighbours had the backbone to stand up for what they believed was right. Here in Canada, we are all sheep being led to the slaugh- ter by these same uncaring politicians, who feel they can and do just as they like. Yet, we are powerless to do anything to stop this madness. Yes, a tea party may just be the wake up call our political leaders need. Leslie G. McCabe Oshawa Cabinet should resign over Stephen Harper’s leadership To the editor: Canada’s great strengths are built on the ideas of fairness, the ability to engage in open discussion, a willingness to see the point of view of the “other,” and a time- honoured respect for due process. Stephen Harper’s childish need to win at all costs endangers our valuable heritage. Canada deserves better leadership than Mr. Harper is capable of. We urge his cabinet to resign in protest before he succeeds in perverting Canadian democracy. Pat Irwin Lycett W.K. Lycett Orono BILLS Why is there GST on Hydro One debt retirement charge? To the editor: I was looking at my Hydro One bill online the other day. I had never really paid any attention to the breakdown of the bill, until recently another reader sent in a letter regarding the debt retirement charge. I cannot understand why we are being charged GST tax on this charge. This is not a service nor does it have anything to do with the delivery of hydro to our homes. I have sent an e-mail to Hydro One cus- tomer service as well as to John O’Toole’s office looking for clarification in this mat- ter, but as of yet I haven’t received an answer. I know the charge is a small one, but do the math. Andrew Cieslik Clarington Low strike mandate suggests deal is best course of action When it comes down to a willingness to go on strike, all you have to do is take a cold, hard look at the numbers. The vote held by Ontario’s college teachers on Wednesday resulted in just 57 per cent choosing to give union lead- ership a strike mandate. The total at Durham College was slight- ly lower at 56 per cent. And at six of the 24 colleges across Ontario, a majority of teachers voted against a strike mandate. A small majority may be enough to win most elections, but it’s not solid backing when it comes to going on strike where bargaining teams traditionally look for a much higher number, say 80 per cent and above. A small majority tells everyone -- union, management and the public -- that for almost every college teacher who backs a strike, there’s another who doesn’t. When teachers are being offered 7.5 per cent over four years, raising their maxi- mum salaries to $103,975 at the end of the contract, it’s hard to understand the impetus to go on strike. This comes in an economic climate where many people have lost their jobs during a brutal recession that has lasted two years. It seems clear many teachers feel there is no justification in going off the job, thus the low strike-mandate vote. Other issues on the table include work- load, academic freedom and an imposi- tion of terms and conditions of work that was put in place last Nov. 18 when no new negotiated settlement could be reached. Certainly, both sides can now sit down at the table and hammer out a fair and rea- sonable agreement that takes note of the economic conditions we all face. Let’s not forget it is students who will pay the biggest price should both sides fail to reach a deal. They already face annual tuition hikes and other cost-of-living increases that, in a poor economy where it is hard to find work to pay the bills, makes it difficult for some to continue with their education. Students often are forced to make many sacrifices in order to complete their edu- cation. In the cold harsh light of the negotiat- ing table, it’s important for both sides to remember that they are there because of the students. It’s time to reach a deal that is fair to all. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com ne w s 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 0 6 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com ne w s 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 0 8 AP BRIEFS Public invited to learn about Girls Inc.

The Board of Trade held a networking event at the Ajax Boston Pizza with dozens of local businesses represented and that’s where Ron Rampergass, of Ajax Autoparts Centre Ltd., was introduced as the 600th member. Mr. Rampergass is a long-time resident of Ajax and, although he’s worked in the auto sector for many years, this is his first busi- ness. “I’ve lived in Ajax (for) 20 years, so I chose Ajax to start my business,” he said. He and partner Sam Sankar opened in November at 377 Mackenize Ave. in south Ajax. The company mainly supplies auto parts and accessories to garages, but also sells to the public. The partners employ three people. “Our main focus is customer service and satisfaction,” said Mr. Rampergass, adding that his company aims to build up its clients by ensuring timely delivery of products. He said the economic conditions didn’t deter him from opening his business. “I guess if you put your heart in it, put your energy in it, you can succeed.” John G. Smith, chairman of the Ajax- Pickering Board of Trade, said the fact that business owners like Mr. Rampergass are opening their doors is a sign of hope when it comes to the economy. “Even in difficult times, there are business opportunities,” he said. Mr. Rampergass met Board of Trade exec- utive director Kathy McKay at a trade show before his business opened. “I told her I would join as the business started up,” he said. The Board of Trade provides a variety of services including networking oppor- tunities, lobbying and benefits programs employers can opt into which they may not otherwise be able to offer as a small busi- ness. Members range from large organiza- tions such as Messier-Dowty and Ontario Power Generation to small business own- ers. “We keep them informed about business issues that affect our town,” said Mr. Smith. He added that the organization has a long history in the both Ajax and Pickering, hav- ing been founded in 1955. “It was appropriate our 600th member is from Ajax because it was founded in Ajax,” said Mr. Smith. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was also on hand to congratulate the business owners and presented Mr. Rampergass with a plaque. He also said it was appropriate that the 600th member of the board is a small busi- ness owner. “It talks about the fact that small business is the heart and soul for the business com- munity in Ajax and Pickering,” he said.

At Oshawa council’s first meeting of the new year, several speakers urged council- lors to reaffirm their support for electing the position and asked them to pressure the five Durham municipalities that didn’t pose a referendum question on the matter in 2006, to put it on the ballot this October. In 2006, ballots in Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering asked voters for their opinion on whether the regional chair should be appointed -- as is the case now -- or elect- ed. In Oshawa, the results were overwhelm- ingly in favour of election, with 21,799 peo- ple supporting that option, and 3,457 vot- ing against. Ajax and Pickering also saw the vast majority vote in favour of electing the region’s top spot. “With the 2010 municipal election year upon us, it is extremely important that this become a key issue in elections across Dur- ham,” said former Clarington mayor John Mutton in an address to Oshawa council on Jan. 11. He has confirmed plans to pursue the regional chairman’s seat, which has been held by Roger Anderson since 1997. “The regional chairman is political. They vote, they make arguments, they move motions ... the position is not that of a speaker of the house,” Mr. Mutton said. Also arguing in favour of election was Bruce Wood, president of the Oshawa Ratepayer’s Association. “In the last election, 88 per cent of peo- ple in Oshawa voted to have chair elected ... it’s what people want,” he said. Saying he’s “extremely passionate” about this issue, concerned resident Jim Richards told Oshawa councillors that they need to get Whitby and Clarington on side if there is any hope of changing the process. “The right to elect our leaders is a basic tenant of a free society,” he said. “Oshawa, Pickering and Ajax have shown great lead- ership and placed trust in the public by putting the question to their electorate.” The question of election versus appoint- ment is nothing new. In 2004, councils across Durham weighed in on the issue, voting by a narrow margin to keep the status quo. The vote required a triple majority, which means support from five of Dur- ham’s eight municipalities amounting to at least 51 per cent of the Region’s popu- lation, plus a majority of regional council- lors. Clarington, Ajax, Oshawa and Pickering councils voted for election, while Brock, Uxbridge, Whitby and Scugog voted to keep it an appointed position. Oshawa council voted on Jan. 11 to reaf- firm its position in favour of electing the chair. On the same night, there was a notice of motion at Clarington council, calling for the question to be added to the 2010 bal- lot.

A uthor brings history to life M ystery novel features Diefenbaker as a boy BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Roderick Benns is “tired of living in a country where we don’t know our history and where we routinely pan our lead- ers and... don’t value our history.” Answering a challenge from Jason Kenney, Canada’s minister of citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism, who has called for Canadians to be aware of and appreciate their history, the Whitby author has penned The Mystery of the Moonlight Mur- der, An early adventure of John Diefenbaker, in which we meet the future prime minister as a 12 year old. “When you have someone at the federal level championing these causes it creates a symbolic per- mission, if you will, for the rest of the country to consider what they value as Canadians, to re-evalu- ate their own sense of citizen- ship,” Benns says. The novel is the first in a series of books on Canada’s prime min- isters and other notable people, the Leaders and Legacies series, intended for young people. Benns and his wife, Joli Scheidler-Benns, created Fireside Publishing House for the purpose and he will pen the first two or three books. Scheidler-Benns, he says, handles the business side of the business. In the debut work, it’s summer 1908 near Borden, Saskatchewan and John Diefenbaker and his brother, Elmer, are close by when their neighbour is shot to death. A Diefenbaker family friend is arrested for the crime and the Diefenbaker brothers, along with the suspect’s daughter, try to prove his innocence. Benns says he had ample mate- rial from which to create a fiction- al John Diefenbaker. “He certainly had memoirs available for me to pore through and there’s a good level of detail about his childhood,” he says. For instance, Benns says Diefen- baker speaks about an incident when he almost froze to death in a blizzard. The real-life incident took place a year before Benns’s fictional account and is referred to in the book. Beyond the memoirs, Benns says he had access to Diefenbaker speeches and employed a meth- od of “projecting backwards” from the real Diefenbaker. “The John Diefenbaker at 12 is very interested in human rights and fairness, all the things that the real John Diefenbaker would become known for,” he says. He uses the mystery element of the work “basically to hook the kids,” Benns says. He says he and his wife “are in the process of setting up relation- ships with wholesalers” for the book and series.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Roderick Benn recently published The Mystery of the Moonlight Murder, a historical mystery featuring John Diefenbaker as a boy, before he became Canada’s prime minister. Trina Astor-Stewart is a creative powerhouse. The Ajax artist is not only an accomplished commercial and fine art photographer and a painter, but she writes poetry, has published a children’s book and created and maintains an online arts/activities magazine. And who can claim a profes- sional career that goes back to the age of 12? That was how old she was when she began working in her father’s photography studio in Bowmanville, first as a stylist and camera assistant for portrait and wedding shoots, then graduating in her teens to shooting formal por- traits and weddings on her own. After her dad retired and closed down the studio in the late 1970s, she worked for short stints in two different camera stores in Oshawa, then landed a job as a photo and negative re-toucher for the famed Toronto portrait photographer, Cavouk. And in the meantime, she established her own studio and began shooting weddings on a sub- contract basis for other photogra- phers. Her well-honed skill at photogra- phy re-touching (hand-done, back in the days before Photoshop) nat- urally led her to hand-tinting black- and-white photographs and then to fine art painting. As a painter, she began collabo- rating with an interior designer to make abstract and realistic paint- ings to fit interiors of private homes. And then followed a natural pro- gression to making personal paint- ings that she showed in group and solo shows in the Oshawa area. With the advent of the Internet, Astor-Stewart and her husband, Breck, became early adopters and started a business designing web- sites, one of which is her own cre- ation, Astoria Magazine, which showcases creative people, local events, tourism and gardening. And after she and her husband had lived with gluten intolerance for many years, Trina recently turned the health impediment into a creative and financial positive by developing and marketing gluten- free flour mixes and providing spe- OPINION Trina Astor-Stewart fashions a creative life Allan’s Artists See MORE on page 16 THEATRE Herongate hillbillies Pickering theatre stages Still Crazy PICKERING -- Things will get a bit crazy in Pickering next week.

Former Telus Lightning player will play for hockey team BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Many young athletes grow up often dreaming of the pos- sibility of representing their coun- try. Many only have one road to travel though. Whitby’s Natalie Babony, a for- mer hockey player at Yale Universi- ty, had two and one has helped her reach the pinnacle of the sport. She will represent Slovakia at the Win- ter Olympics in Vancouver next month as a member of the wom- en’s hockey team. “It’s surreal. It really is. I can’t even describe it,” Babony says of being Olympic bound. “What goes through my mind? It’s not reality yet. Maybe it will set in when I get there, but right now I can’t con- ceive how amazing this is going to be.” Babony, now 26, is a dual citizen. Her parents, Anton and Olinka, were born and raised in Slovakia, only moving to Canada in their 20s, where they would settle and raise their own family. While Babony considers herself as Canadian as anyone, her Slova- kian background has always played a big part in her life and is some- thing she is understandably quite proud of. “I grew up in Canada and I am very much a Canadian. I learned how to skate here and it’s very much a part of who I am,” she says. “But, you know, my parents are from Slovakia and we grew up in a very traditional Slovak household, speaking Slovak growing up, fol- lowing the traditions they have. It is a unique situation and it’s a fortu- nate situation.” Her first foray into representing Slovakia came as a 16-year-old, while more recently, Babony, a 5- foot-4 forward, played with the team at last year’s World Champi- onships in Austria and the Moun- tain Cup tournament in Switzer- land. The event in Switzerland served as her last audition prior to the announcement of the roster. When the list of 18 skaters and three goalies was finally released Dec. 29, both Babony, who was in New York at the time, and her mother, home in Whitby, were frantically searching the internet for confirmation. When her moth- er came across the information and called Babony, her initial reaction was one of relief. “To want something so badly and to have spent so much time, it was almost like not going to Vancouver wasn’t an option,” says Babony, who will face Canada in her first game of the preliminary round Feb. 13. “It couldn’t have happened that way. Do you know what I mean? It was like, ‘I have to go.’ I don’t remember wanting anything more.” As interesting as the national- ity aspect of her background is, Babony’s hockey background is just as compelling. She grew up playing women’s hockey locally and in Toronto, and played on the boys’ hockey team at Father Leo J. Austin in Grade 9. Then it was off to Holderness School in Plymouth, New Hamp- shire through the end of high school. Following that, she took a year off school and played for the Telus Lightning (now Durham West) out of Ajax before heading to Yale. “It was really great that I took that year off and played in the area,” she says of her experience with the Lightning. “That was helpful and led me right into my university experience.” VANCOUVER 2010 Babony is Olympic bound with Slovakia COLUMN Annandale women’s team qualifies for Ontario finals SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Natalie Babony played for the Telus (now Durham West) Lightning, and has made the Slovakian women’s national hockey team. She will be competing at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Focus on Business: Small Cost, Big Results! During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. “I have been advertising for 15 years,” says Tom Susac, owner of Sports Station in Oshawa. “I have people tell me not to worry about giving them my number, because they see me in the paper every week.” The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. “The editorials are very powerful and are able to explain things better than you can in an ad,” says Tom. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. The Focus on Business advertising feature is great investment for businesses. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. “I figure that I spend about $5,000 annually on advertising in Focus on Business, and it definitely brings that back tenfold,” says Tom. Spaces are currently available in all five zones. Call today to book your space! For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com. ne w s 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 0 18 P Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

The Ottawa 67’s forward, in his third- year with the club, has turned into better than a point-per-game player, scoring 16 goals and 48 points in 44 games this sea- son. His efforts haven’t gone unnoticed as the 18-year-old centreman was rated as the 24th best North American skater available for the 2010 National Hockey League entry draft. Uxbridge’s Brock Beukeboom of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, is the 63rd ranked skater. A pair of other locals find themselves ranked just after Beukeboom in Sagi- naw Spirit forward Josh Shalla and Otta- wa 67’s forward Dalton Smith. Shalla, a Whitby native and former Bowmanville Eagle, has had a solid season with the Spirit and is ranked 64th, while Oshawa’s Smith, in his first full season with Otta- wa, is 66th. Further down the list, Pickering’s Colin Campbell, a forward with the Vaughan Vipers of the Ontario Junior A Hockey League, made the list, ranked at No. 153. Campbell, who, according to the Kitchen- er-Waterloo Record, could have recently joined the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers, has a scholarship lined up to attend Lake Superior State in the fall. ne w s 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 0 19 AP REAL ESTATE SALES We're Hiring! *We pay course fees *Licensing Training & Support *7 Locations Considering, Licensed or In course, contact… Pam Palmer 1-888-472-2767 www.BecomeARealtor.ca Coldwell Banker R.M.R.
