Various organizations, groups, schools and charities from all over the world have con- tributed millions of dollars to the relief and rebuilding of Haiti since the Jan. 12 earth- quake that tore apart the country and killed more than 200,000 Haitians. But on the week before Valentine’s Day, local preschoolers showed their big hearts by reaching out to parents and nearby busi- nesses to help in the relief effort. And it’s great to see young children getting involved, said the director of Great Begin- nings, Ruby Owens.

At last week’s executive committee meeting, Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell said she’d heard rumours that OPG may shut down its Pickering B oper- ation in 10 years. Members of council said that was the first they’d heard of the plans. The next day, the media ran articles on the rumours, but OPG officials remained tight-lipped. Shortly after noon Feb. 16, OPG announced the rumours were in fact true and that operations at Pickering B station will come to a halt in a decade. It was also announced that OPG plans to refurbish its Darlington plant set to start in 2016. “Today is an important day in OPG’s life,” Pat McNeil, OPG’s senior vice-president of generation development, told council Tues- day night. Mr. McNeil went on to explain the plant will remain in safe operation for the next 10 years, and will be followed by a safe storage period before the actual decommissioning of the site begins. “Our commitment is to continue to invest in that facility, to make sure it’s a top-notch facility over its remaining life,” he said. Some Pickering councillors felt they were overlooked when the community partner did not let Pickering, its host community, know before the news was leaked. “I’m disappointed we weren’t made aware as a council much sooner,” Coun. Dickerson said. Mr. McNeil said OPG was told by the Prov- ince it could not release information until Feb. 16, and he’s unaware of how the infor- mation was leaked. Coun. Dickerson asked if there’s a busi- ness plan in place, and what will replace the jobs at OPG once layoffs begin. OPG’s Pickering plant currently employs 4,300 people. Mayor Dave Ryan also said he’s also look- ing for reassurance that a similar situation to Oshawa and the layoffs at General Motors won’t happen to Pickering. Mr. McNeil said he doesn’t expect a signif- icant drop in staff until after the safe storage period. Also, labour will be added to help decom- mission the plant, he said. Plus, OPG is cur- rently in negotiations for more office space in Pickering. Coun. O’Connell asked Mr. McNeil if OPG will in fact hold true to leasing space in Pickering, or if it’s looking for more space in Clarington due to Darlington’s refurbish- ment. “I can tell you we’ve been in conversa- tions for office space (in Pickering) and we’re close to acquiring them,” Mr. McNeil said. When Coun. O’Connell asked what will replace power in Pickering, Mr. McNeil said that’s for the Ontario Power Authority to decide as OPG’s mainly responsible for operating a safe facility. She asked if there are discussions to turn it into a centralized waste facility, and Mr. McNeil said he hasn’t heard anything along those lines. Mr. McNeil assured council that OPG plans to remain an active community part- ner with the City and heavily involved in community organizations, emphasizing that 60 per cent of OPG’s employees are actively involved in the community. “That level of commitment isn’t going any- where,” he said. “We’re citizens of Pickering, we’re citizens of Durham Region.” He added since Pickering B will be operat- ing for the next 10 years, there will be plenty of time to lay out all the issues. He assured council the environmental assessment that is needed to look at the plant’s decommis- sion will be done in an open and transpar- ent manner.

Patrol officers noticed a stolen Toronto vehicle in the parking lot at the Whites Road Shopping Centre, 705 Kingston Rd., at around 8:45 p.m. Monday when they were on a routine patrol in Pickering. The vehicle appeared unoccupied as officers approached to investigate, but two occupants then appeared from inside the car, police say. The driver fled the scene at a high speed and ran a red light at the nearest intersection, striking a westbound vehicle and coming to a stop in the middle of Kingston Road at Delta Boulevard. The driver struck by the suspect vehi- cle was not hurt. Both suspects fled the stolen vehicle, with police giving chase. One suspect was caught and arrested without incident, while the other got away. A pellet gun discarded by the arrested suspect was locat- ed nearby, police say. A 17-year-old male from Pickering is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of stolen property of over $5,000, carrying a concealed weapon and weapons dangerous. He was held for a bail hearing.

But while the kids between four and five years old still need help comprehending the devastation, they are able to under- stand that the children in Haiti need some help. It’s hard to explain to the children exact- ly the devastation that’s taken place, but when they meet in their daily circle, the day care staff simplifies it for them. “We say we’re helping the boys and girls in Haiti so they can have clothes, homes and food,” Ms. Owens said. So the kids quickly and energetically got involved in a fundraiser for the Cana- dian Red Cross to help the relief effort in Haiti. When the disaster hit, Great Beginnings sent out a letter to the parents requesting donations for the Canadian Red Cross. Parents quickly began dropping change into a container called ‘Hearts For Haiti’ that was set up by staff. Parents also jumped on board when one of the staff members suggested hold- ing a bake sale in the spirit Valentine’s Day. But since there are other businesses nearby, and parents and teachers were quick to help out, it was a success and $500 was raised for the Canadian Red Cross. The federal government will also match that donation. Great Beginnings sent over 200 grano- la bars for the children when someone familiar with the day care went over on a medical mission. COMMUNITY Pickering daycare’s Hearts for Haiti bake sale nets $500 PICKERING from page 1 City districts rank in top three in price appreciation BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Price appreciation for single- detached homes in Pickering went against the trend in the GTA last year, found a report by RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. The analysis compared single-detached housing values between 2008 and 2009 in 63 districts within the Toronto Real Estate Board, and found two Pickering areas were among a mere 16 per cent that saw gains of more than five per cent. Twenty-seven per cent of the districts remained slightly off 2008 levels, and 57 per cent recorded gains of less than five per cent. No district reported double-digit increas- es. Ranked first in the GTA, single- detached homes in south Pickering rose 9.4 per cent to $358,493, and homes in north Pickering were ranked third with values climbing 7.2 per cent to $396,973. Single-detached homes in the Malvern, Hillside, Rouge district placed second with a 7.3-per cent increase to $368,095, and homes in Port Credit in Mississauga came in fourth by climbing seven per cent to $614,144. Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, also a RE/MAX First Realty agent, attributes Pickering’s increasing values large- ly to supply and demand. “They’re selling a lot because there’s not a lot of product,” he said. The low prices for Pickering homes com- pared to those in Toronto is a hot selling point as well. “What you pay in Toronto for a 600- or 700-square-foot condo, you can get a whole house out here,” he said. He added people are starting to value Pick- ering’s close proximity to Toronto and short commute via GO train or car for downtown workers. Many people buying single-detached homes in south Pickering are first-time buy- ers, which is generally different from those in north Pickering, Coun. McLean said. “A lot of the people are coming from Toron- to,” he said. He attributes the main draws in the north- ern end to large lots, good schools and low crime rates. He finds homes are sold within the first couple of weeks as long as they’re priced right and feels the trend should stay the same. “As long as the inflation stays in check, as long as the interest rates are the way they are, I think it’s going to continue,” he said.

To witness people’s suffering and the many deaths is heart-wrenching and calls forth a generous response from all of us. Drs. Brown and Puckrin went the extra mile in showing compassion for and being present with those who have lost so much. You have changed the lives of many Hai- tians forever. I am sure that they will be forever grate- ful to you for the gift of yourselves. Once again, Drs. Brown and Puckrin, our sin- cere thanks for your example of compas- sion and generosity. Paul Woodcroft Prince Albert FEEDBACK Crone crossed the line with nativity ‘humour’ in recent opinion piece To the editor: I usually enjoy Neil Crone’s articles very much, and appreciate his dry sense of humour, but I found his latest offering, ‘Nativity kidnapping work of the devil’, to have crossed the line into the area of bad taste. I realize it was written tongue-in-cheek and did have some humour in it. But the statement about “Joseph losing his shirt in a late-night poker game with the other two Wise Men and a donkey,” was really offensive. I am one of many people who take the Christmas story seriously. As the man chosen by God to be the earthly father of Jesus, Joseph should not be disrespected in that way. Also, the portrayal of small-town inhab- itants as ungrammatical, petty-minded boobs is not acceptable. Neil, you’re a great writer and I look for- ward to reading more of your work, but please try to stay on the side of good taste. You can be very funny without being irrev- erent. Thank you. Roslyn Campbell Bowmanville To Crone, with sarcasm To the editor: Re: Crone column not funny. How dare you, Mr. Crone! How dare you poke fun at the son of God! This is exactly how the Inquisition started, sir. It all stemmed from a “Two Catholics walk into a bar” crack. And now you pull this? You should be ashamed, sir, ashamed! Please note this letter was written Microsoft’s ‘Sarcas- tic Font’. James Terry Clarington POLITICS PM wasn’t ‘elected’ as PM To the editor: A recent letter to the editor states, “Ste- phen Harper is indeed the elected prime minister of this country.” Fact or myth? A poll by the Dominion Institute found at least 51 per cent of Canadians believed this to be true. Actually, it’s a myth often per- petuated by the Conservatives themselves. Canada is a parliamentary democra- cy unlike America, where the president is directly elected. Stephen Harper was not elected prime minister; he was elected as a Member of Parliament solely by the voters in his riding of Calgary Southwest (not in any other riding). Did you see his name on your ballot when you voted? He is prime minister because he’s the leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament. If Mr. Harper were to resign tomorrow, a new leader would replace him, choose a cabinet and become PM. This is how our parliamentary system works. Many people vote based on their choice of prime minister but that is not the same as voting directly. Nancy Addington Oshawa Good news breeds optimism at General Motors In an industry struggling against the worst economic tide in decades, in a city that was literally built along with the vehi- cles that emerged from the depths of the General Motors assembly plants over the last three generations, the recall of 700 automotive workers in Oshawa qualifies as great news. News of a second shift being added later this year -- originally expected to take place in 2011 -- underscores growing optimism about the long-term viability of General Motors in Canada and the quality of the products being produced by auto- motive workers right here at home. Those 700 workers who are expected to be recalled into service producing the new Buick Regal will once again be able to meet their personal financial obligations, boost the local economy and contribute to society, after more than a year of fiscal uncertainty. As well, automotive suppli- ers across Durham Region that manufac- ture and distribute parts for GM vehicles will likely have to add workers to meet the growing demand. Credit is due to the corporation and the Canadian Auto Workers for working through these difficult months to bring back some of these jobs to Oshawa and Durham Region. But it is not yet time to uncork all of the champagne. There are 500 more General Motors employees who will remain on layoff, even with the recall of these 700 workers. To that end, we strongly encourage the corporation, the CAW and municipal gov- ernments to continue working towards new partnerships and strategies, to further improve the relationship between union and management, to strive towards the best quality of vehicles produced in the plants and the best-made parts from local suppliers. General Motors remains a vitally impor- tant corporate entity and one of Durham Region’s largest employers. As it succeeds, so too does Oshawa, Durham Region, var- ious ancillary automotive businesses and a substantial portion of our citizenry. The early return of a second shift and some 700 workers is great news, to be sure. Optimism and success will breed more optimism and more success. But it’s not a stopping point. It’s a jump- ing point. General Motors, its workers and the larg- er community must keep focus on qual- ity, productivity and the manufacture and assembly of reliable, stylish and effi- cient motor vehicles. In this case, the old tongue-in-cheek corporate adage rings true: Perfection is our goal. Excellence will be tolerated. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 7 AP MAKE ONE SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR ALL YOUR DEBTS!

The Town will host the ninth annual Fit for Heart fundraiser on Feb. 20 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr. Registrations will begin at 8:30 a.m. The theme this year is Let’s get danc- ing and the Town is offering up zumba, a Latin-flavoured dance, and soca, which originated in the West Indies. Both classes involve high-energy dance-flavoured cardiovascular work- outs. Registration and pledge forms are available at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Centennial Rd., the McLean Commu- nity Centre. As an alternative to pledges, partici- pants can make a $20 donation at the event. “The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation,” said Katie Holland, fitness and health centre consultant for the Town of Ajax. “Heart disease and strokes are respon- sible for one in three Canadian deaths every year, a staggering statistic. We need to improve the health of Canadians through physical activity, health promo- tion and social change.” Residents can also support the cause by buying red paper hearts for $2, avail- able at both community centres. Donations can also be made online at heartandstroke.ca.

So says Marc Girard, a Durham resident who spoke with Durham Region’s works committee last week about the importance of road safety for cyclists. “Correcting the problem involves every- body. We all play a role in fixing the prob- lem,” Mr. Girard stated. As a cyclist, he’s regularly on the road, he noted. Last summer, he was hit while cycling. “Without the use of a helmet, I couldn’t be standing here today.” Reasons for accidents include driver error, distractions, inexperience and atti- tude, he stated. “There’s no single reason, no magic bul- let,” Mr. Girard said for solving accidents. “Many cyclists don’t believe the rules apply to them,” he said as a reason attitude is a factor. Motorists have the attitude that cyclists “don’t pay taxes and they don’t belong” on the road, Mr. Girard stated. “Many motorists are unaware of their responsibility to cyclists. Many don’t believe cyclists have a right to be on the road.” The regional cycling plan is “heavily pointed to the use of multi-use trails and bike lanes. It’s good stuff, but it’s not tar- geting the road cyclist. It’s targeting the off- road cyclist.” Mr. Girard noted putting up signs would be a good start. “Signs tell us what not to do, but also what to do.” Signs would also be “very cost effective. It would be a good start to the road cyclist. Out in the country roads, where road cyclists like to venture, I see very little,” he said. Whitby Councillor Gerry Emm said he regularly sees cyclists going through inter- sections with stop signs without stopping. “It’s not a motorist problem, but a cyclist problem.” Signs are “a good point. It’s something we need to look at,” Coun. Emm said. “A lot has been done and a lot still has to be done.” Mr. Girard said, “Cyclists, we are partly to blame.

Do manufacturers of hearing aids own hearing aid clinics? A. There is a recent trend in hearing care for some manufacturers of hearing aids to own hearing aid clinics. These clinics typically sell only hearing aids manufactured by the manufacturer. Q. Is your hearing aid clinic owned by a hearing healthcare professional? A. An audiologist is a member of the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario. A hearing instrument practitioner is a member of the Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners of Ontario. A hearing aid clinic owned by an audiologist or hearing instrument practitioner typically offers hearing aids manufactured by more than one manufacturer. Our three hearing aid clinics are owned by an audiologist and hearing instrument practitioner. Q. How will I know if a hearing aid clinic is owned by a health professional? A. You can ask two questions: • Are you owned by a health professional or a manufacturer of hearing aids? • Do you carry hearing aids manufactured by more than one manufacturer? Choice is critical when treating hearing loss. Hearing loss is unique; there is no “cookie cutter” solution. Our approach is motivated by evidence-based practice and we ﬁ t our patients with hearing aids that are just right for them. The Choice is Yours!

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Dear Readers: Sometimes in my readings, I come across small, yet interesting tidbits of information that I know will keep your feet pain free. Anticipating problems before they occur is the best way to maintain trouble free feet, for there is no truer statement than the one that says, “when your feet hurt, you hurt all over”. Suffering from ATHLETES FEET? When getting dressed in the morning, make sure you put your socks on ﬁ rst, before your underwear. This will minimize the chance of spreading the infec- tion to the groin and causing jock itch. When BUYING NEW SHOES, make sure you do so in the later part of the day to ensure a proper ﬁ t. Feet may swell as the day goes on, so that a shoe bought in the morning may feel snug as the day progresses. Greater attention should be paid to feet in the WINTER with respect to dry skin and the use of moisturizer creams. This is be- cause the winter’s air is less humid than summer’s. Women are also more apt to wear nylons in the winter. JOGGERS should always remember that the pitch of a road is always higher in the centre and lower at the curbs (for drain- age purposes). This will affect the functional length of the legs of a person jogging, whereby the curb leg is forced to be the lon- ger leg. Change the side of the road you are jogging on halfway through your run, in the same way you would change the direction of your run when jogging on a banked track. DIABETICS should always take the time to dry their feet well especially between the toes and should cream their feet regularly but NEVER between the toes. HEAT should never be applied to an injured area until the swelling has subsided. Heat will cause blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood ﬂ ow to the area, causing more swelling and pos- sible tissue damage. During a kilometer of running your foot will strike the ground between 500 and 750 times with a force of up to four times your body weight. The force depends on the length of your stride and your body weight. The human body is made up pf 70 per cent water and its need for water increases tremendously with exertion. This is because ﬂ uids are lost not only through perspiration, but also by increased breathing. FLUID REPLACMENT should occur before, during and after the activity. FACT OR MYTH: Corns have roots. This is a MYTH. A corn is a build up of dead skin against a boney prominence because of shoe pressure. They will recur even after being paired down. FACT OR MYTH: No pain no gain. This is a MYTH as pain is a signal sent out by your body to slow down or pay attention to a speciﬁ c part of the body. Continuing the activity will only worsen the problem, taking longer to recover. FACT OR MYTH: Gout is a rich man’s disease. This is a MYTH as gout can occur in anyone who has suffered difﬁ culty metabolizing uric acid. At one time it was thought to occur in people whose diets included red meats and alcohol. FACT OR MYTH: An adult foot will never increase in size. This is a MYTH as feet can lengthen at least one shoe size when the longitudinal arch collapses. This is seen in people as they age, gain weight or in women during pregnancy.

Ajax eliminated by short-handed goal late in third period of Game 4 BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Bowmanville Eagles GM/coach Curtis Hodgins noted following his team’s four game sweep over the Ajax Attack that it’s usually specialty teams that decide a playoff series because five on five play is so tight. He was so right, but the decid- ing goal in the Central Canadian Hockey League series may not have come the way you would expect. After the teams combined for 13 power-play goals, 10 of those by the Eagles, it was a short-hand- ed tally that ultimately ended the best-of-seven East Division quarterfinal series in the mini- mum four games. Tied 2-2 late in Game 4 in Ajax on Tuesday night, Eagles forward Peter Neal won a faceoff to the right of Attack netminder Adam Stein, walked in and slid a shot along the ice into the corner with just 43 seconds left in the game. The Eagles were short-handed at the time. Ajax pressed for the equalizer in the final seconds, but couldn’t extend the game into overtime. “We dodged another one tonight,” said Hodgins of escap- ing with a narrow win. “I don’t think we played well. Our guys have to understand when you have a team down like that, they’re not going to roll over and die, they’ve got too much pride. “You never want to let a team off the ground. We had them down and you give them a little light and who knows what hap- pens in game five and then the next thing you know you’re look- ing at game six. We wanted to get it over with.” Adam Place opened the scor- ing for the Eagles on a first peri- od power play, but goals by Blake Boddy (power play) and Luke Laszkiewicz in a span of 34 sec- onds to open the second period put the Attack on top 2-1. Brett Gilmour tied it, on the power play, midway through the sec- ond, setting up the late game winner by Neal. Outside a silent Attack dressing room, Attack head coach Carey Durant praised the effort of his team after bowing out by scores of 2-1 in overtime, 5-4, 9-1 and 3- 2. The Attack entered the series as the eighth seed in the East Division, while the Eagles were first. “Our kids came out and they played another great game,” he said. “Besides (game three) we played them neck and neck. Three, one-goal hockey games. I take my hat off to our kids, they played as hard as they can play. “I chalk it up to experience. Last year we beat them, this year they beat us and that’s the way it goes.” Durant felt his team was hurt by the loss of Jordan Reed to a concussion after being hit by Michael Markovic in the second game of the series. No penalty was called on the play, and after the league reviewed the video, no suspension was levied against Markovic. At the end of Tuesday’s game the bitterness was still evident. The Attack’s Steve Douitsis was assessed a match penalty for attempt to injure after slash- ing Markovic in the leg just after the final buzzer sounded. The customary handshake between players didn’t take place. “I’m a little bit disappointed about that,” said Durant of the way things ended. “It’s a tough thing. Obviously some resent- ment was built up with the head check to Reed. Unfortunately that incident happened at the very end. That’s not something we want to see in hockey. The players control what they do on the ice and how they act. “I shook their coaches’ hands, they shook ours, they know how we feel about their team,” he added, wishing the Eagles luck as they moved on. Hodgins opted to look ahead, saying only it was “probably for the best” that a handshake between players not take place at the conclusion of the series. THE SCOOP -- The Eagles were led offensively by three play- ers, all with seven points each. Peter Neal and Adam Place had four goals and three assists each, while Michael Markovic had a goal and six assists. The Attack were led by Blake Boddy, who had three goals and two assists ... Attack goaltender Adam Stein made a nice stop on a penalty shot by Mitchell Heard in the second period ... Due to suspen- sions and injuries, the Attack used affiliated player Chris Albertini from the Clarington Triple-A Midget Toros in Tues- day’s game. Ironically, Albertini played in one game for the Eagles last season as a call-up ... Curtis Hodgins expects Bowmanville’s next round to start on home ice either Sunday at 1:30 p.m. or Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. An oppo- nent is yet to be determined.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 • Fe b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 14 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com CENTRAL CANADIAN HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYOFFS Attack swept aside by Eagles RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND BOWMANVILLE -- Ajax Attack forward Steve Douitsis (7) chipped the puck towards the net against the Bowmanville Eagles during Game 2 of their Central Canadian Hockey League game at the Garnet B.
