The question was met with a resounding “Bobsledding.” The answer was quite fitting for the silver medalist, who just returned home from her podium finish at the 2010 Vancouver Olym- pic Winter Games. The 30-year-old brake- man of a two-man bobsleigh team was invit- ed to chat at Brock Road Child Care Center over March break. When she asked the kids if they think they could be an Olympic athlete one day, it seemed all of them thought it was possible. She told the kids she always wanted to be in the Olympics, although she originally trained for track and field. “I always thought I’d go to the Olympics, but when it was warm outside, not cold outside, because I don’t really like the cold,” she told the group of excited kids, waiting in anticipa- tion to touch her one-of-a-kind silver medal. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Olympic silver medallist Shelley-Ann Brown was at Brock Road Child Care Tuesday afternoon March 16 to speak to the children about her Olympic experi- ence.

He thought it would make history come alive.” Ms. Brazeau’s father, Tom Lowe, won the argument and donated his precious mementoes to the Robert Stu- art Aeronautical Collection about 20 years ago. Both her parents have since died, and Ms. Brazeau says they would be “rolling in their graves” if they knew the contents of that collection and the Camp X Exhibit -- which are both housed at the Oshawa Airport -- are now for sale online. “This is my family’s stuff,” she said, hold- ing back tears. “I don’t want to think of some rich collec- tor somewhere having my dad’s things.” It’s a concern that has been voiced by several local families, since the private collection was posted for sale on an aviation website Feb. 16. Deirdre Stuart -- who took over ownership after her father Robert Stuart died seven years ago -- says “per- sonal reasons” were behind the decision to sell. That, and the fact that interest in the museum appears to be dwindling. “It’s like pulling teeth to try to get the schools in for tours; we’re not getting the support. If this is so important to Canadian history, they should all be here every semester,” she said. Ms. Stuart was quick to dismiss concerns from those who say they donated family treasures to the collection, saying her father spent a lot of money purchasing most of the items. Anything donated or loaned should be backed up with a written agreement, she noted. “I was told when I first started this that I would have a bunch of vultures at my back, and look what’s hap- pening,” Ms. Stuart said. “If they don’t have it in writ- ing, do people honestly think I’m just going to hand stuff out? People can’t blame me for their negligence. When you give something away, it’s not yours any more.” Local author and historian Lynn Philip Hodgson has spent decades researching and writing on Camp X, a top secret war-time facility on the Oshawa-Whitby border where Allied agents trained between 1941 and 1944. He fears the artifacts may leave the country and has launched a full-scale campaign to save the collection, complete with a Facebook page, committee, and appli- cation for charitable status, so donations can be accept- ed. The goal is to buy the collection -- it’s been valued at up to $1 million -- and find a permanent home for it. “These items are so valuable. One of the teleprinter machines still has the last message received from when the camp closed in 1969,” he said. “And, there are radios that have been kept in working order all this time. You can still pick up Morse code on them today.” - With files from the Toronto Star Page 6 - Today’s editorial I was told when I first started this that I would have a bunch of vultures at my back. - - Deirdre Stuart, collection owner CAMP X Durham widow upset husband’s war mementoes will be sold to highest bidder du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma r c h 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 4 AP Introducing...

AJAX -- Ajax residents should be extra cautious as mild temperature are creating water hazards, says Ajax Fire and Emer- gency Services. “Snow melt runoff from warm tempera- tures and forecast rains has resulted in sig- nificantly increased water levels and water currents in most creeks, holding ponds and watersheds,” said Ajax fire chief Randy Wil- son in a prepared statement. “It is imper- ative that we keep our children and pets away from these potentially hazardous and deadly situations.” The Ajax fire department has teams trained in ice and water rescue, but Chief Wilson said he’s hoping that with height- ened awareness of the hazards, the teams won’t be called on. Tips for keeping safe during the spring thaw: • Parents should know where their chil- dren are playing at all times. • Many pets are attracted to water. Keep them on a leash around rivers, creeks and ponds as the flows can be too strong for the pet. • Residents who live near waterways are encouraged to keep a life vest or life line on their property so it could be used to assist a person in danger. • Do not enter the waterways in order to assist someone in trouble. Hypothermia can set in quickly and currents means the rescuer could become the victim. • If someone does fall in, remain calm, keep a visual on the person or pet, get help by calling 911 and reassure the victim help is on the way.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions ANTHEM Canada has two official languages To the editor: Re: ‘Wish I knew the words to O Canada’, letter from Peter Stojanovski, March 9. Mr. Stojanovski states in his letter that he doesn’t know the words to our nation- al anthem. He also added that it is likely because “they” now sing half of the anthem in French. Who are “they”? Hockey Night in Canada? He also attempts to compare Canada to France. He states, “I have noth- ing against the French language, but this is Canada, not France. Does France have English in its national anthem?” Perhaps he is unaware that France only has one official language -- French. Why would they sing half in English? C a n a- da, on the other hand, has two official lan- guages, English and French. He should perhaps consider learning more about our country’s history. Perhaps then he would develop an appreciation for the French lan- guage and maybe realize that just because he doesn’t speak French, it has just as much right to be heard as the English lan- guage. Incidentally, O Canada was written by Calixa Lavallée in French in 1880. It was translated 28 years later. Carole Aucoin Whitby Singing the anthem proudly in English To the editor: Re: ‘Reader must be unaware that Cana- da has two official languages’. I think the writer is missing Mr. Sto- janovski’s point. When I was growing up in Toronto, we sang our anthem in English. We knew the words and sang them proud- ly. Then, sometime during the Trudeau years the government started its policies of pushing French on the entire country while French-only in Quebec was acceptable. I was born and raised in Toronto, and am not bilingual. I am also not ashamed to admit, as a result of government inter- ference, that I don’t know the words to my national anthem either. When I’m at an event where the anthem is sung, I sing it proudly and loudly, in English. Bill Caukwell Whitby Let us hear the anthem in its proper presentation To the editor: Re: Mike Thompson and Don Legree let- ters on the national anthem. Thank you for your comment. This is something my friends and I have com- mented on for years -– it doesn’t even sound like our treasured anthem. Do it on your own time, let us have ours in its proper presentation. And to Don Legree –- never thought about it, but you are right, why don’t the fans join in? I would like to think I would, if I ever went to a sporting event, but I bet if only one would, the people around that person would join, just out of guilt if nothing else. S.E. Harris Uxbridge OLYMPICS I’ll remember these Games because of Rochette To the editor: A recent letter about Olympic coverage is about right. To many people, winning the hockey gold is the only thing of importance at the Games. I’ve seen other great performances and the write-up was relegated to the inner pages while hockey was given the prime spots even when they played poorly. There were other stars and medals won at the Games but the brightest star of all was Joannie Rochette, whose gutsy skate in the short and long programs earned her the bronze. Laszlo’s comment about her being French-Canadian as the reason for the lack of coverage is wrong. She did get good coverage. I will remem- ber this Olympics for the rest of my life because of her performance and putting a human face on the games. Phil Hulaj Oshawa What price must we pay to preserve military history? What price is a fair price for a piece of our history? Is one person’s ‘donation’ another’s to keep? Those questions are at the core of an unfortunate and ugly tug-of-war between several local families and a local woman who assumed ownership of important Sec- ond World War military artifacts that were gathered and housed at the Robert Stuart Aeronautical Collection at the Oshawa Air- port. Whitby’s Linda Brazeau would like her father’s medals and photos returned to the family. Oshawa senior Jane Dixon didn’t realize the donations she and her late hus- band, Angus, made were to a privately owned museum and said she wouldn’t have done so had she known that the donated items risked being sold to the highest bid- der. Others have claimed that they had no idea they risked losing donated artifacts for- ever. But Deirdre Stuart, who took ownership of the impressive collection when her father died seven years ago, remains steadfast in her belief that without some written agree- ment between donors and her father, who built the collection over a long period, the military artifacts will remain in her posses- sion. These artifacts are more important than money. They represent great personal tri- umph, national pride, a tangible connec- tion to the war effort here at home. Those who donated them did so freely, if naively. In many cases, they weren’t compensated and should have them returned. The alter- native could be lengthy and costly court battles to determine ownership, which will serve no one. However, if money is required, if a fair deal can be struck to ensure that the arti- facts remain in a local collection to be prop- erly and permanently displayed to honour those who served in the armed forces, it should be done expeditiously. To that end, we call on government offi- cials and the public at large to get involved and ensure that this collection is saved. Dif- ferent levels of government can use their resources to share in the cost of purchas- ing a portion of the collection. Elementary and high school students can use their con- siderable experience at fundraising to help ensure the artifacts remain in Durham, and learn more about our military history along the way. Local businesses can band togeth- er, or raise awareness with their clients. This isn’t just about medals, or sheepskin boots, or grainy photos. It’s a thread to our past, an unbroken connection to where we were and where we are today. If preserv- ing that part of our heritage permanently is going to cost money, it would be well spent. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma r c h 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 8 AP 0/-: 8&&, -&'5 /RDERTICKETSTODAYAT WWWHEARTSOFDURHAMCOM 'RA &AMILY6ACATIONTO 7A LT$ISNEY7ORLD&LORIDAOR 2OMANTIC3ANDALS2ESORT#ARIBBEAN 6ACATIONFORPLUS4ICKETS TOTHE(EARTSOF$URHAM "EES+NEES"ENElT ND0RIZE 0ANASONICv0LASMA46AND (OME4HEATRE3YSTEMPLUS4ICKETSTOTHE (EARTSOF$URHAM"EES+NEES"ENElT RD0RIZE 6ISA'IFT#ARDPLUS4ICKETSTOTHE (EARTSOF$URHAM"EES+NEES"ENElT (EARTS0RIZE GROCERYSTOREGIFTCARDS $RAWTOTAKEPLACEAT,ATITUDES0LUS4RAVEL "ALDWIN3TREET3UITE"ROOKLIN/NTARIO,-!

Co-ordinator Sharon Phillips explained the kids followed the Olympics, and received gold med- als themselves throughout the Games as incentives for good behaviour. Ms. Brown shared a slide show of her great Olympic memories, and the kids got the opportunity to ask Ms. Brown anything they wanted. A number of them asked her what it was like to be there, considering a number of them were glued to television sets throughout the games. “I had the most fun I have ever had,” she told them. “I was really happy to be from Canada and that the Olym- pics Games were in Canada,” she said. Zyanne Thompson, 9, watched all events she could, including Ms. Brown’s silver-medal finish. “No one’s going to believe me unless I show them the pictures,” she said. She was not only fascinated with the medal, and its surprisingly heavy weight, but more so, with the ath- lete’s good attitude. “I think it’s really nice that she came,” she said. Others asked how much Ms. Brown trained, and what foods she ate to gear up for the competition. “Do you think I ate a lot of McDonald’s?” she asked. “No,” they sang. “Do you think I ate a lot of ice cream and cookies?” she said. “No,” they repeated. She ate a wide variety of vegetables, fish, fruits and healthy foods, she said. She trained, especially in the summer, four or five hours a day, six days a week. “Sundays were my days off,” she told them. Breanna Henry, 6, was thrilled that the Olympic med- alist came to visit her day care. “I felt really excited because I got to touch her medal,” she said. Breanna gave Ms. Brown a card she made and told her although Ms. Brown won the silver in the two-man bob- sleigh competition, her favourite sport is speed skating. “I like speed skating because they’re always going fast and it’s kind of cool because they do tricks,” she said. Much to their excitement, Ms. Brown let each child touch her medal, and signed autographs on everything from pieces of paper to Canada sweatshirts, before say- ing goodbye. The visit was equally stimulating for Ms. Brown. “I like to inspire kids because they remember,” she said, adding they’re very open and full of dreams at this young age. “They make me feel more passionate about the things you’re passionate about,” she said. Since she’s come back, it’s been a “whirlwind,” doing a lot of speaking to kids, teens and corporations. “It’s been busy but really good,” she said. She has been caught off guard a few times when she’s been recognized while out and about but said, “For the most part I’m the same Pickering girl.” She’ll never forget that feeling of getting the medal. Even the buzz of just being at the Games was absolutely incredible, she said. “I wish everybody could have been there first-hand,” she said. Right now she’s on an Olympic high, and whether she’ll compete in the next Olympics is anyone’s guess. She has many other passions she hopes to pursue, such as singing and playing the guitar. Ms. Brown is headed to Haiti shortly to help rebuild an orphanage. PICKERING -- An excited group of youngsters at Brock Road Child Care had plenty of ques- tions to ask Pickering’s Olympic silver medal- list Shelley-Ann Brown on March 16. Ms. Brown came by the facilty to speak to the children about her Olympic experience at the just-con- cluded 2010 Games in Vancouver.

Health ADVERTISING FEATURE Ronald J. Klein B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist-Foot Specialist A March Break or stress fracture usually occurs after a long march or hike as was seen in army recruits on long 20 mile runs. The most common bone involved is the 2nd metatarsal (50% of the time) just behind the metatarsal joint where the toe attaches to the foot. the 3rd and 4th metatarsals are also equally likely to experience a stress fracture at 25% of the time each. A stress fracture occurs due to excessive continuous pressure over a long period of time, unlike a regular fracture which is the result of a major trauma or force. The likeli- hood of a stress fracture occurring depends on the strength of the bone (density decreas- Ask The Podiatrist... A March break can occur anytime during the year es with age) and the force applied. Besides marines or army recruits, a stress fracture of the metatarsal can be seen in long distance runners, aerobic exercisers or women walk- ing any distance in high heeled shoes which puts a lot of pressure on the forefoot. Over time of repetitive stress, the bone fatigues and cracks. You would imagine that all fractures should show on an x-ray, but that is not always so, especially with stress fractures. If an x-ray shows negative (no fracture) but pain, swell- ing and an increased temperature over the head of the metatarsal persist, take another x-ray 14 days after the initial onset of symp- toms. Although a fracture line may still not show, new bone deposition will be noticeable at the injury site. Patients will usually compensate for the pain by walking on the outside of the foot or heel.

Can I claim my hearing loss on my income tax? A. If a person is disabled to the point that they cannot perform one of the normal functions of day to day living (hearing, walking), the person may qualify as “disabled” for tax purposes. Hearing loss may interfere with normal daily activities such as difﬁ culties hearing and/or understanding what is being said at the bank or at the grocery store. Hearing loss can hinder communications at the restaurant or at family gatherings. Attending the theatre may no longer be a possibility. In other words, the hearing loss prevents a person from performing one of the normal functions of day to day living. Q. How much can I save on my income tax if I qualify? A. With a completed form, your accountant can amend any tax years covered by the disability and claim a disability tax credit. The disability tax credit is worth approximately $1400 in tax savings. It can also then open the door to eligibility for additional medical claims. Q. Who can certify my hearing loss for disability purposes? A.) Audiologists can certify an individual’s eligibility for the Disability Tax Credit. All that is needed is a recent audiogram (hearing test). Our three clinics are staffed in total with six Audiologists, the most Audiologists found anywhere in Durham Region. Written by Audiologist Lila O’Neill, Founder of the fi rst Audiology Clinics to dispense hearing aids in the Durham Region. ADVERTISING FEATURE & We llness Fractures of the metatarsals, unlike other fractures, do not require immobilization therefore, they do not require a cast. An elastic bandage bound around the foot and ankle is all that is required. However, all activities that put stress and pressure on the fracture site should cease especially the type of activity that caused the fracture in the ﬁ rst place. Comfortable shoes are most important and ultrasound should be avoid- ed. Given time, the fracture will heal and you will be back doing all your activities - just exercise a little patience. If you have a question you would like an- swered or a topic you would like addressed, please send it to ASK THE PODIATRIST c/o The News Advertiser, 130 Commercial Avenue, Ajax L1S 2H5. From page 12 Stress fractures occur after a long march or hike When to suspect your child has a speech or hearing problem The ﬁ rst few years of a child’s life are particu- larly critical for speech and languagedevelop- ment. Here’s what to watch for: Speech: When your 18 month old does not: use 10 or more words to communicate.... follow simple commands.... imitate words and sounds. When your two year olddoes not use two or more word sentences to express himself..... un- derstand concepts like up, down, big, little or try to say his own name. When your three year old is not easily understood by an adult friend out- side the family.... does not use “me or you” in speech... does not ask questions using “what”..... is not pronouncing the m, n, ng, p, f, or h sound in words or is not using three to four word sen- tences. Hearing: When your newborn does not: re- spond to noises at three months.... look towards a speaker or sound at three to six months.... smile when spoken to at three to six months or vocal- ize and babble alone or with others at three to six months. When your 18 month olddoes not point and gesture to call attention to objects or events..... does not use words to get what he wants or continuously pulls at ears. When your three year old turns up the television or radio louder than other family members or does not hear you call from another room. If you suspect a problem, contact a profession- al.

The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association recently announced Ajax resident Tyler Pelley captured the 2009-10 OCAA defensive player of the year award at the annual banquet, kicking off the provincial championships. Pelley, known for his intensity on the court as much as anything else, led the OCAA with 90 steals this year, 36 more than Adrian Tomlinson of St. Law- rence who finished in second place. The remarkable total gave Pelley the record for the most steals in a single season, passing the previous mark of 67 set in 2007-08. Steals have only been an official statistic of OCAA men’s basketball for the past three seasons. With this year’s whopping totals added to those he accumulated as a rookie last season, Pelley, a second-year guard with the Lords, has totalled a league-high 136 steals over the past two seasons. His per game average this season was an impressive 4.5. Meanwhile, his Lords teammate Eric Smith, also of Ajax, was also honoured by the OCAA, earning East Region first team all-star status. The sophomore forward was one of the league’s top big men as he averaged an impressive 19.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, both team highs. Smith led the entire province in total rebounds with 188 on the year and finished among the top-10 of the OCAA charts in several other statistical cat- egories including scoring (third, 384 points), steals (third, 49) and blocks (ninth, 14). Smith’s big year comes on the heels of a an impres- sive rookie season in 2008-09 when he was named to the OCAA all-rookie team and an OCAA second team all- star. Both players are expected back next sea- son to help form the nucleus of a Lords team that will host the 2011 CCAA national basketball champion- ships.

HOCKEY Pickering native Cristin Allen honoured on the ice STORRS, CONN. -- Four members of the University of Connecticut wom- en’s ice hockey team received All-Hock- ey East honours, including senior Cristin Allen, of Pickering. Allen was awarded the confer- ence’s Best Defenceman Award and was named to the first team, announced by the conference at the Hockey East championship banquet. Allen’s honour marks the sixth time a member of the Huskies has been named to the All-Hockey East First- Team. She is the second to receive first- team honors in the past three seasons and the first defenceman to do so since Natalie Vibert (2006-07). It is the sec- ond consecutive post-season accolade for Allen who earned a spot on the All- Hockey East Second-Team following the 2008-09 season. She leads the conference in defencemen scoring with 24 points, including a team-best 21 assists. Allen has recorded 16 of her points in Hockey East contests and had an assist in the quarterfinal win over then No. 7/8 North- eastern. The assistant captain is 10th in the NCAA in points per game among defencemen (0.69). Allen played 138 games in a UConn uniform and is fifth all-time with 72 points. She was part of the most suc- cessful graduating class in the history of the program, posting a 79-32-19 record throughout her four years. In her final season with the Huskies she led her team to the Hockey East Conference title game which they lost in overtime to Boston University. LONDON -- Durham Lords basket- ball players Tyler Pelley (above) and Eric Smith were honoured by the OCAA for their accomplish- ments on the court this past sea- son. DURHAM -- A number of promising track ath- letes posted strong results at the Gibson Relays in Jamaica. The All Age Junior High team broke the meet record in the heats of the 4x100 with a time of 49.07. The team placed third in the finals with a time of 48.78, beating the record they estab- lished in the heats. Team members were Kendra Prince (Ajax), Jadyn Skeen (Brampton), Mari- am Abdul-Rashid (Oshawa) and Aurea Gordon (York). The All Age Junior team of Kendra Prince, Jadyn Skeen, Mariam Abdul-Rashid and Aurea Gordon placed second in the preliminary of 4x200 with a time of 1:48.89. For the finals, two changes were made to the team. Kendra Prince and Aurea Gordon were substituted by Nichelle Prince (Ajax) and Alexis Marsh (Ajax). The four members who competed in the finals won the gold medal in a time of 1:42.32. The U17 girls, Nichelle Prince, Khadijah Thompson (Brampton), Nita Patterson (Bramp- ton), Alexis Marsh and Naomi Kerr (Bramp- ton) placed ninth in both the 4x100 and the open girls’ 4x200 with times of 48.27 and 1:42.22 respectively. The boys’ team of Nyal Higgins (Whitby), York Yap (Oshawa), Kristopher Luke (Ajax), Lee Nicholson (Whitby) and Leacroft Thompson (Brampton) did fairly well despite competing against athletes two to three years older. They placed 12th in the 4x100 with a time of 51.36 and 16th in the 4x200 with a time 1:48.89.

Durham City wasted no time in showing they were ready to keep their winning streak alive by opening the tournament against the team considered the stron- gest competition. The game started out close against the Advantage Titans but it didn’t stay that way for long as Jennifer Perrin, who was named tourna- ment all-star, took the game over by scoring 20 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. Coach Woodburn said after the first game, “Once Jennifer got the ball in the post nobody could stop her so we just kept feeding her the ball. By the time Advantage adjusted to counter our offensive strategy, the game was over.” Nicole Cevallos also had one of her best games of the season, scoring 12 points and hitting two big three point- ers. The final score was Durham City 44, Advantage 28. Rachel Woodburn, who aver- ages 15.8 points a game on the season and leads Durham City in scoring, saved her best per- formance for the final three games of the tournament. She led the team in scoring in all three games including a victory over Dundas Dynamo 29-25 and over Blessed Sacrament 37-19. Advantage Titans won their other games to earn a spot in the final and get another shot at trying to beat Durham City to win the tournament. Durham City proved they were the better team by starting the game on a 21-5 run and never looked back, defeating Advantage 42-23. This is Durham City’s second straight tournament champion- ship. Jaclyn Ronson had her best game of the season shooting 5 for 7 from the field scoring 10 points. Rachel Woodburn scored 14 points in the final and was named tournament MVP. After the championship game Coach Woodburn said, “We knew Advantage would be ready to defend Jennifer in the post so we looked to spread the floor and run our offence at their weak- er defenders and be aggressive with our front court press. Our girls do a great job of following directions and executing a game plan. It’s a pleasure to coach this group.” For more information about girls rep basketball in Durham Region visit www.chameleons- basketball.com.
