Durham officers responding to a report of a disturbance at a residence in the area of Monarch Avenue and Bayly Street May 11 apprehended a 20-year-old man under the Mental Health Act and took him to a nearby hospital for assessment, police reported Wednesday. The man, whose name was not released, was subsequently charged with robbery and possession of a dangerous weapon in connec- tion with an incident Monday afternoon in which a female employee at a nearby store was injured. Police said a Liquidation World worker was stabbed a number of times with scissors after confronting a shoplifting suspect at the Monarch Avenue store on Monday. She was treated for non life-threatening injuries, police said. The suspect remains in custody pending a bail hearing.

The singer, author and songwriter, who’s won a Grammy award and five Juno awards, has penned music for art- ists including Celine Dion, the Backstreet Boys, Tina Turner and Donny Osmond. He said much of what he did in his life was defined by his “sometimes tumul- tuous but loving” relationship with his father, the highly educated Daniel Graf- ton Hill III, founding director of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. “I think my whole life was spent trying to impress my dad, trying to get him to notice me,” he said. Mr. Hill’s brother, Lawrence Hill, is an author who’s written a number of books, including the critically-acclaimed The Book of Negroes. The singer told detailed stories of his past, including his father’s demands that he submit written requests for things he wanted, such as the kitten Dan ached for at age four. “We learned the power of word, the power of language,” he said. He also recounted his father’s distaste for his son’s desire to pursue the music industry, feeling he should continue the Hill’s long line of scholastic success. “My father was the strongest man I’d ever known,” Mr. Hill said. Yet, after his father’s death from dia- betes in 2003, Mr. Hill went through his father’s archived letters and found the human side he’d struggled to see when he was alive. And everyone, he realized, has pain in their lives. “It’s what we do with it that makes all the difference,” he said. He also spoke of and read from the article he wrote for Maclean’s magazine entitled Every Parent’s Nightmare, which revealed his son David’s fall into the world of gangs and how he climbed out of it. Mr. Hill blamed much of his traveling for work as part of David’s struggle, but attributed his son’s love for the written word as a key to his escape. “He once asked me if creativity could save his life,” Mr. Hill said. “I said yes.” Pickering resident Liz Scott was a fan of Mr. Hill’s in the 1970s and came mostly for that nostalgic reason. “It was great to meet him and see him again,” she said. But she wasn’t only thrilled to have an old vinyl record autographed by the star; she was glad her two daughters heard the “healing” message he shared about the relationships between parents and their children. Mr. Hunt was struck that although Mr. Hill raised his family in a financially comfortable, well-to-do environment, his son still rebelled. “The frustration of that is something we all fear,” he said. What struck him most was the pain Mr. Hill and his family went through, and the unconditional love that got them through. The only part of the evening that disap- pointed Mr. Hunt was the small turnout. “They’re missing unbelievable stories,” he said.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions Pickering Blooms program brings colour, environmental stewardship If April showers bring May flowers, Pickering is well prepared to add splash- es of colour and the scents of summer throughout the city. City officials joined forces with the envi- ronmentally active students at High- bush Public School to kick off the annual Pickering Blooms program that promotes garden cultivation, environmental stew- ardship and responsible management of our community’s green spaces. The Pickering Blooms program com- bines several elements of an environmen- tal nature. Residents are invited to register their gardens for inclusion in the program to help showcase the best of the city’s gar- dens, or join a mentorship program to get tips from horticultural experts. Local groups and clubs are invited to adopt a local park to maintain and keep beautiful and green; a community beautification program pro- vides community ‘gateways’ with colourful and appealing landscaping with the assis- tance of City experts. Also included are environmental stew- ardship programs and ongoing initiatives with Pickering ‘eco-schools’. Pickering Blooms combines important elements in making the city the most beau- tiful and environmentally sustainable com- munity it can be. Local students, such as those at High- bush, have established programs that raise awareness of environmental sustainabil- ity issues and which combine class learn- ing with school operations. Students have created and manage in-school composting programs, garden cultivation, tree plant- ings and recycling initiatives. These chil- dren will grow up among the most environ- mentally conscious generation in Canada’s history. And the larger community can con- tribute by organizing community cleanups known as Pitch-in Parties. Avid gardeners are invited to showcase their work, while also lending their knowledge and expertise to others. We hope every resident in Pickering takes some small part, even informally, in help- ing to beautify the Millennium City. Plant a garden or a tree, use the expert resourc- es on offer as part of the Pickering Blooms program, share your green and gardening ideas with friends and neighbours. Vibrant colours, appealing landscapes and cityscapes, well-kept homes and busi- nesses and green spaces have a lasting impact on those who live here and those who visit. We encourage you to learn more about Pickering Blooms, take on an environmen- tal project at your home or business, or identify an area of your neighbourhood that could benefit from the annual program. Planting new seeds of environmental consciousness today will serve the com- munity well in the future. - Pickering News Advertiser du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m SCHOOL FUNDRAISERS Student’s experience a lesson in the importance of research To the editor: Re: Pizza fundraisers, letter, May 6 News Advertiser. Britney McDavid’s experience with donating to what she thought was a good cause is a good lesson in the importance of researching the purpose of fundraising activities, and of charities in general. A local fundraising event’s objectives may not be agreeable, as Britney found out. More generally, a potential donor should find out if the intended object of the fund- raising or donation is the best possible use of the funds to do the most help, how much of the funds will be spent on helping oth- ers and how much will be spent on admin- istration or on mail and telephone calls to the donor asking for more donations. The experience of the students at her school is a great lesson in discovering that their fundraising may not have resulted in making their school, or the world, a better place. Frank Dempsey Pickering EMPLOYMENT Hard for some to feel sorry for GM workers To the editor: Re: ‘Best news about GM is that jobs are still here’, letter to the editor, May 4. I find myself fuming after reading the let- ter from Christine Carmichael regarding GM. Maybe Ms. Carmichael knows someone who works at GM who would like to give up their well-paying job to me. I am sick and tired of people saying just how hard it is to be working at GM, or the hours they have to work. Please! They get shift differential which adds up very nicely. Their benefits alone would be an incentive to work there. And this overtime she mentions in her letter, hello, they get time and half and who knows probably more. I’d love to be work- ing at GM, but I wouldn’t even get an inter- view as I don’t have any family member working for GM. I have been searching for work for the past few months. I have gone to VPI, Northern Lights, mailed letters to my MP, MPP, regional councillor, town councillor, premier of Ontario, and our prime minister (I’ve been told I’ve been doing everything right). I must thank my MPP for Ajax and my Ajax councillor for at least acknowledging my letters. Then again, I unfortunately don’t have any family members who work in any of our government ministries or town halls that can help me get employment. I am a very hard-working, honest worker. So, please Ms. Carmichael, don’t expect me and I’m sure a lot of other people in the Durham area to feel sorry for any GM worker. If you are looking for a very hard-working employee, by all means look me up. Susan Spanes Ajax ATHLETICS Co-ed teams might solve gender issue in sports To the editor: Can someone please explain to me how letting girls play on boys’ teams but not let- ting boys play on girls’ teams is equal? Shouldn’t we just have boys’ teams, girls’ teams and co-ed teams? That way everyone has an equal choice in the matter. I have three girls and two boys and I think the idea of co-ed teams would help each of the sexes learn to compromise and work together. Crazy idea but it just might work.

License # 10 Baagwating Community Association On May 5th, 2000 at 11:00AM the reels began spinning at the Great Blue Heron Casino and now ten years later, the action is better than ever. The casino started as a vision of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Their goal was to provide an economic development plan to foster opportunity and advancement for the First Nation people, which turned into a reality through an agreement with Casinos Austria International and its local partners, the Steiner Group and Sonco Gaming Inc, who developed and operate the casino on their behalf. “The First Nation is extremely proud of the accomplishments and the overwhelming success of our casino.” says Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation Chief Tracy Gauthier. On May 5, 2000 the Great Blue Heron added 450 slot machines to our mix of 50 casino table games. Since then, the casino has continued to grow, adding more variety and games to the facility. Great Blue Heron currently offers customers a complete gaming experience of 545 exciting slot machines and 60 thrilling table games. The Great Blue Heron Casino began with only 245 employees and is now one of the largest employers in Durham Region, employing over 1150 staff including 85 First Nations members. “The OLG, the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation and Casinos Austria have created a fantastic relationship during the fi rst 10 years that has culminated with the delivery of an excellent gaming experience through the Great Blue Heron Casino and its employees. Happy Anniversary GBH.”said Larry Flynn, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) Senior Vice President Gaming. The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation have donated over $5 million to Scugog Township over this period and to various charities and non-profi t organizations. “Thanks to the dedication and professionalism of our staff, the loyalty of our customers and the wide support we enjoy within our community, the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino has grown into one of the premier gaming facilities in Ontario,” said Arnold Block, Chief Executive Offi cer Great Blue Heron Gaming Company. To celebrate this milestone, the Great Blue Heron Casino gave away a commemorative gift to all slot patrons on May 10th and 11th. The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino is located on reserve lands of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation just East of Port Perry. It is less than one hour Northeast of Metropolitan Toronto, and an easy 30-40 minute drive from Markham, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Peterborough and Lindsay.

A section from Anstead Crescent to Pickering Beach Road is currently closed for construction. “We just wanted to keep it in very good shape and there were a couple of areas that were getting pretty rough that were constructed 15 to 20 years ago,” said Town of Ajax project coordinator Tim Murphy. That portion of the trail includes the popular area at the foot of Harwood Avenue, which is used heavily, espe- cially in the evenings and on weekends. Mr. Murphy said some commuters to Whitby even bike or rollerblade along the Ajax waterfront. Work on the 1.5-kilometre stretch began on May 3. “Essentially we’re reconstructing it, we tore out what was there and then we replaced all the granulars and we’ll be repaving it,” said Mr. Murphy. The project comes with a $140,000 price tag and the actual paving work is expected to be done this week. “It will be complete including top- soil and clean-up probably middle of next week, but the trail will be open and functional by the end of this week.” CONSTRUCTION Stretch of Ajax waterfront trail closed Play on stage at school tonight AJAX -- The community is invited to watch local kids perform in a popular Disney musical.

Gl e n a n n a R d . 831-FEET(3338) PTC Anxious about your job? Your finances? Your health? It’s normal to feel occasional anxiety in everyday life, but 1 in 5 Canadians experience something far more intense than that. If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activities, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of 6 million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety disorders engage in damaging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding circumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued distress,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. David Direnfeld, Director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “When you stop going to parties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrinking around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-confidence and self-worth is often accompanied by depression—a pervasive sense of hopeless- ness, sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our expert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medication. One form of “talk therapy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depres- sion in the short term, and in many cases, more effective at pre- venting relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain-imaging scans show that CBT produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identi- cal to the effects of medication. “The major difference,” explains Dr. Diren- feld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side-effects is nil.” These facts, along with thousands of clinical studies supporting its effectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non- medical treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, forward-looking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple premise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life expe- riences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may find ourselves with irrational, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experi- ences that happened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to prepare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by challenging the irrational beliefs that sabotage you, and replacing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxiety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efficacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-alter- ing changes in a relatively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more information about CBT or to book a consultation at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (offices in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

He added Highbush was the winner of the 2009 Garden of Distinction award, and spoke of the important roles youth play in the community, and in the envi- ronment. He mentioned Highbush, a member of the Ontario EcoSchools pro- gram, participates in a number of sus- tainability programs, such as holding pitch-in parties where students clean up litter from spring to fall, and has adopted a park, which it regularly maintains. “It is my hope that other schools will follow your lead and participate in these important programs,” he said. Residents, schools, organizations, busi- nesses and youth and families are invit- ed to apply to Pickering Blooms. They’ll receive garden signage and can enter to have their garden reviewed by horticul- tural experts. In celebration of the launch, the High- bush choir sang What a Wonderful World, a couple of students read stories they’d written on the importance of the envi- ronment and others displayed murals of animals, insects, birds and flowers they had created using seed paper they can plant at home. Fifth-grader Taylor Brown is a member of the school’s Eco Club and explained the group collects recycling from all classrooms each Tuesday and meets once a month to discuss different aspects of the environment. “We’re also known as the Eco Police,” she joked. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean also spoke at the event as co-chairman of the program. “What you have done here is a small but critical piece of the puzzle and I am proud to be able to name your work as a part of what makes this community a great place to live,” he said. He listed some comments from judg- es regarding Highbush’s winning gar- den last year. They included ‘It looked like sunshine on a rainy day’ and ‘What a haven for teachers and students alike.’ For more information or to register online: CALL 905-683-7575 VISIT www.cityofpickering.com Page 6 - Today’s editorial BRIEFS Welcome to kindergarten in Pickering PICKERING -- Bayview Heights Public School is hosting an orientation meeting for parents prepar- ing to send their kids to school for the first time in September.

Mayor Dave Ryan COMMUNITY City launches Pickering Blooms 2010 at award-winning school Ajax resident selected in third round of OHL draft BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The fact that Darryl Snelling has every intention of playing with his third different hockey team in three seasons is a good thing. Usually there is a stigma attached to play- ers who bounce from team to team, but in this case, it’s showing progress in terms of development for the Ajax resident. After playing seven seasons in the Ajax- Pickering Raiders triple-A system, Snelling opted for the GTHL last season, suiting up with the Mississauga Reps. Next season, he hopes to be wearing a Belleville Bulls sweat- er after the OHL club used its second pick in the draft to select Snelling in the third round, 43rd overall. “Once I heard my name, I was running around the house so happy,” says the 16- year-old defenceman of watching the draft unfold on the Internet. The Grade 10 student at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School made a difficult choice this past season to leave his friends on the Raiders and make the trek to the other side of Toronto for his minor midget season. Part of the attraction, he says, were head coach Frank Pietrangelo, a Stanley Cup champion with Pittsburgh, and assistant Lindsay Hofford, who has spent time behind the bench in the OHL and WHL. “It was tough because all the practices and games were close to home,” he says of the comfort level he was used to playing with Ajax-Pickering. “As soon as I got the offer from Mississauga, I knew it would be a better opportunity because it’s the GTHL. There’s better competition there.” He flourished with his new team, one of 60 players selected to play in a GTHL Pros- pects Game that served as a showcase for OHL scouts and general managers. He was a GTHL U17 regional camp attendee, a Hock- ey Canada/OHL combine attendee, and his Mississauga Reps were ranked among the top teams in the province, earning a spot in the OHL Cup at season’s end. As draft day approached, he had inter- est from a number of teams, particularly the Oshawa Generals and Kitchener Rang- ers. But it was Belleville who liked the stay- at-home defenceman who is mobile, quick, smart and not afraid to rush the puck given the opportunity. His numbers last sea- son included two goals and 13 assists in 64 games. Playing in the OHL is the step he wants to take next season. “I always wanted to go to the OHL,” he says. “I’ve watched Peterborough Petes games, Oshawa Generals games when I was young- er. This season I went out to watch some games to see the style of play. I thought about it a lot versus NCAA. I had no offers from the NCAA so that helped.” The first step in the transition to life in the OHL will come this weekend during a rookie camp that Belleville is hosting to help new- comers become familiar with the team.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 y 1 3 , 2 0 1 0 13 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com HOCKEY Kimlin backstops Australia to silver at World Championships AUSTRALIA -- Anthony Kimlin made the trip home to Australia a worthwhile venture. The former Pickering Panthers goaltender returned to Australia recently, helping his country finish with the silver medal at the Division 2 world championships that were held in Mexi- co. The Australians, ranked 28th in the world, won four of five games, losing to the eventual gold medallists from Spain. “I’d love to see it (ice hockey) grow more in Australia,” said Kimlin, 20, to reporter David Lems of the Ips- wich Queensland Times. “If it wasn’t so expensive, I think it would be one of Australia’s top sports. It’s got all the Australian sports combined.” Kimlin grew up a roller hockey player in Australia, making the move to Canada at age 15 to play hockey. He was traded from Pickering to the Markham Waxers at the trade deadline in January of this year. The netminder has one year of junior eligibility remaining and is hop- ing to get a Division I scholarship offer next season.

One being that the Oshawa Generals defenceman signed his entry-level contract with the National Hockey League’s New York Islanders and the other being that his recovery from shoulder surgery to repair torn cartilage has gone as well as expected. de Haan’s contract with the Islanders, who made him the 12th overall pick in the 2009 draft, was finalized on May 2 and he looks forward to landing in New York sooner rather than later. “Obviously it feels pretty good,” he said of signing his first profes- sional contract. “I want to play there as soon as I can obviously. It’s a young group and I want to be a part of the rebuilding stage there.” However, chances are de Haan will end up back in Oshawa for another year this fall after los- ing much of the past season to the shoulder injury. He was injured dur- ing a seemingly inno- cent collision along the sideboards dur- ing a Jan. 24 game in Oshawa against the Saginaw Spirit. Days later he was in New York and under the knife for surgery. Rehab has been good, though he admits he still has a way to go. He is three months into what is generally thought to be a four-to-six month recovery pro- cess. “The shoulder is awesome right now. No pain whatsoever any- more,” he says. “It’s just a little weak, but that’s why I am working out every day now, to try and get it stronger and better.” As for getting on skates and testing the strength with a little contact, de Haan doesn’t expect much to happen on that front until training camp. With regards to what camp leads him where, de Haan, like any other young prospect in a similar position, has designs on playing with the Islanders next season. However, he says he wouldn’t be crushed to be returned to Oshawa. “Obviously I want to play on the Island, but whatever happens, happens,” said de Haan, who was one of the final New York cuts last fall. “If I have to play in Oshawa, I love playing there. I want to be a leader on that team and bring playoff hockey back to Oshawa.” His healthy return will be key to whatever success the Generals may have coming off two straight non-playoff seasons. Losing him to injury this year was devastating to the club. When he went down in January, the team appeared to be in solid playoff position within the medi- ocre Eastern Conference. But the offence dried up and so too did the wins as the Generals went 4- 17 without de Haan during the season’s final 21 games. CALVIN DE HAAN HOCKEY Allen named MVP of Connecticut women’s hockey team STORRS, CONN. -- Cristin Allen and Michelle Binning have been recognized for their contributions this past season with the Universi- ty of Connecticut women’s hockey team. Allen, of Pickering, was present- ed with the Most Valuable Play- er award, while Binning, from Oshawa, received the Unsung Hero award from head coach Heather Linstad. All awards were voted on by the team. Allen becomes the first defence- man in UConn history to receive the MVP award. She is a two-time Patty Kazmeier nominee and was named the 2010 Hockey East Best Defenceman. Binning, a forward, led the team in goals (20), game-winning goals (5) and points (30). The two seniors, also assistant captains, amassed a record of 79- 55-19 during their four years with the Huskies, including a 21-9-7 record this season in which the team made its second appearance in the Hockey East championship game in club history. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 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 y 1 3 , 2 0 1 0 20 AP Est.
