colourful side in first
Communities in Bloom
competition
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — If Communities in
Bloom is designed to foster civic pride
and environmental responsibility,
then at least two Pickering residents
have taken the bait.
Amberlea Tennis Club president
Rosemary Aiken chose to beautify the
club this year by creating two small
gardens. Although they’re only small,
she said it adds a lot, and has encour-
aged others to keep the neighbour-
hood tidy. After one club member put
down the sod, Ms. Aiken took peren-
nials and rocks from her garden, and
went to work planting perennials.
“I thought it would be a good com-
munity thing for us to do and it’s really
enhanced the tennis courts,” she said.
Ms. Aiken is taking part in Pick-
ering’s first year of participating in
the Canadian beautification program.
Communities in Bloom co-chairman
Mayor Dave Ryan said he’s very proud
of Pickering’s involvement.
“I think it’s important because what
it does is it displays what the com-
munity is all about in terms of pride in
the community, in terms of participa-
tion in the community,” Mayor Ryan
said. He added he’s also entered the
competition, and although he doesn’t
expect to win anything, he felt it im-
portant to show that everyone should
be involved in the well-being of the
community.
Christine Male is another resident
who takes pride in her garden, and
entered the competition. A member
of the Pickering Horticultural Society,
Ms. Male has also taught gardening
previously and describes gardening as
“her life.”
“I think we should all take pride in
our community,” she said. “A lot of
people, I don’t think they do, or they
don’t have the time.”
But, Ms. Male explained gardening
only takes up approximately 30 min-
utes of her time each week of weed-
ing or deadheading. She also said
the hobby is not an expensive one as
the original perennials she planted,
mulch and the odd must-have are her
only costs.
Her garden consists of perennials,
including lavender, euchenacia and
clematis. She said they attract a lot of
butterflies, bees and birds. She also
explained with perennials, something
new is always blooming.
“I don’t use any chemicals, no arti-
ficial fertilizer - everything’s natural,”
she said.
Both Ms. Male and Ms. Aiken said it
doesn’t matter if they win or not. The
important part is “more just a recogni-
tion that maybe will encourage other
people to participate,” according to
Ms. Male.
“It gives you pleasure and other
people pleasure - that’s the point, I
think,” Ms. Aiken said.

PICKERING — Once a new internal
report is complete, a City councillor
hopes to find that the charges against
former councillor Maurice Brenner
were not malicious.
In May, 2006, Mr. Brenner was
charged with two counts each of fraud
under $5,000 and utter forged docu-
ment, and breach of trust by a public
officer when he was accused of in-
voicing false expense reports relating
to a woman he allegedly hired to do
clerical work. Last month, Madam Jus-
tice Katrina Mulligan dismissed the
charges following a two-day trial when
she couldn’t be convinced beyond a
reasonable doubt that Mr. Brenner had
done anything wrong.
On Monday night, Ward 1 City
Councillor Jennifer O’Connell re-
quested staff prepare a full report on
who brought the charges forward to
the Durham Regional Police Services,
whether Council was consulted be-
forehand, and how a television report-
er (Dale Goldhawk was named in the
trial) got a hold of Council’s expenses,
among others.
“I feel really, really upset if I found
out it was one or a couple of people
that got together and didn’t inform
Council or the CAO,” she said in an
interview.
Coun. O’Connell said her questions
came about partly because Pickering’s
treasurer Gil Paterson testified dur-
ing the trial that after at least three
investigations, including his own due
diligence review, he was satisfied that
the work in question had in fact been
done, and that Mr. Brenner did pay the
woman he’d hired. She noted testimo-
ny stated Chief Administrative Officer
Tom Quinn or Mr. Paterson did not
bring the charges forward.
“I was shocked during the trial,”
Coun. O’Connell said in an interview.
“I had no idea it was investigated that
many times.”
Mr. Quinn will lead the review by in-

AJAX — Three suspects arrested
Saturday in connection with the death
of an Ajax man remain in custody.
Jonathan Alexander Ebanks, 20, and
18-year-old Nathan Daniel Kelly, both
of no fixed address, and 25-year-old
Aimee Margaret McIntyre of Bobcay-
geon, all have been charged with first-
degree murder in the death of Karl
O’Reggio. The 33-year-old man’s body
was found in a
Tresher Court
residence on
July 16 after po-
lice went there to
check on a resi-
dent in response to a call.
Although police have said the man’s
body showed obvious signs of trauma,
no information on the cause of death
has been released. Nor have police
expanded on the relationship between
the deceased man and the accused.
The charge -- first-degree murder --
indicates police believe the killing was
a planned and deliberate act.

‘Lowlifes’
stole
Legion
flowers
Branch forced to install
security cameras when
building patio
PICKERING — Legion members
are steaming after “some lowlifes”
stole three baskets of hanging flow-
ers over the weekend.
The flowers were hanging from
brackets screwed into the wall on
the front of the Legion, on Bayly
Street east of Sandy Beach Road.
Myrna Picotte, president of Ladies’
Auxiliary of Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 606 and third vice-president
of the Legion, says, “This place is
dedicated to the veterans and some
lowlife would do this.
“The Legion, to me, is sacred
ground. It belongs to the men who
fought for this country. I know we
have problems with people stealing
flowers out of a cemetery in Oshawa.
But, this is getting pretty lowlife,” Ms.
Picotte adds.
The Legion closed at around 1
a.m. on Sunday, July 22 and the flow-
ers were taken after that, she says.
“It’s the front of the building, not
the back. I’m surprised nobody saw
it happen,” Ms. Picotte notes.
The dollar value is minimal, per-
haps around $100. “That’s not the
point. This was dedicated to the vet-
erans.”
There were five baskets, which
were put up at the beginning of June,
and the thieves took three of them,
she says.
The Legion wants to put a patio
at the rear of the building, but “we
have to have a camera or they’ll take
it apart board by board,” Ms. Picotte
states.
The patio was to be opened this
weekend, but “we have to get the
security cameras before it’s built. We
had members donate money, busi-
nesses donate. It’s just disgusting,”
she says of the theft.
“We have to get security cameras.
We have no other choice.”
The cost of the cameras is about
$4,000, she notes.

terviewing important players, includ-

He said his most important duty in the
investigation will be making sure all of
the facts are correct.
“It’s a difficult task to deal with,” he
said.
“When you know the people in
question, something like this is always
difficult. But I will state the facts.”
Mr. Brenner is somewhat surprised
that the information is in the public
realm, but in an interview he said, “It’s
really going to generate the discussion
that the public is entitled to know. And
they really are entitled to know.”
He said he’s received numerous
letters, e-mails and phone calls from
people who did not vote for him be-
cause of the allegations, and are now
apologizing.
“This whole thing involved the pub-
lic right from the very beginning as
it related to breach of public trust,”
he said. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug
Dickerson said he believes it’s a public
matter.
“I see it as taxpayers’ dollars and it
should be done in the open chamber,”
he said. “That’s how you stay open and
transparent and accountable.”
In fact, he gave notice of motion at
the meeting that he’s going to ask the
City to reimburse Mr. Brenner for his
legal fees.
“Former Councilor Brenner is out
on the verge of $50,000 for something
that he clearly did not do,” Coun. Dick-
erson said in an interview. “It cost him
that much to defend his honour, his
character, his word and his trustwor-
thiness.”
He also said he wants to know the
answers, and if it means calling in an
outside investigator, “then so be it.”
“I anxiously look to see how things
go and how they evolve really,” Mr.
Brenner said.
Mr. Quinn plans to report back to
the mayor and Council at the next
meeting on Sept. 10.

Off-duty police officer
scratched when he steps
in to help young referee
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A Toronto soccer mom
and her husband face criminal charges,
including assaulting police, after a melee
that began with a call during a children’s
tournament Sunday in Pickering.
An off-duty Durham cop who stepped
in to intervene was manhandled and
scratched and the father of the young-
ster who had officiated the game was
punched during the scuffle, which oc-
curred at a pitch on Valley Farm Road,
police said.
Sergeant Paul McCurbin said the dis-
turbance began at the conclusion of a
match involving seven- and eight-year-
old children.
“The game was over,” he said. “(The
accused woman) became enraged at the
referee for a call.”
A woman was berating the ref, a
14-year-old girl, when the girl’s father
stepped in, Sgt. McCurbin said. “The ac-
cused then punched the ref’s father in
the shoulder and swung a second time,”
he said.
It was at that point that off-duty homi-
cide Detective Tom Dingwall stepped in,
identifying himself as a police officer and
informing the woman she was under ar-
rest, Sgt. McCurbin said.
The woman attempted to break free
and another man took hold of the of-
ficer, Sgt. McCurbin said. Det. Dingwall
pursued the woman and attempted once
again to take her into custody.
“While he’s holding her she’s digging
her fingernails into his hand,” Sgt. Mc-
Curbin said.
Additional officers arrived and restored
order. The Toronto couple was arrested.
Shelly Augustin, business manager
with the host Pickering Soccer Club,
called the incident an unfortunate ex-
ample of an adult losing control.
“This type of behaviour is unaccept-
able,” Ms. Augustin said.
“We really push the importance of zero
tolerance when it comes to referee abuse.”
The incident, which occurred during a
two-day all-star tournament that drew
38 teams from the GTA and beyond, will
be reported to regional and provincial
governing bodies, Ms. Augustin said.
Sandra Gutierrez Aldana, 39, of
Apache Trail in Toronto, was charged
with assault, assaulting police and as-
sault with intent to resist arrest. Sergio
Vazquez-Lopez, 41, also of Apache Trail,
is charged with assaulting police and as-
sault with intent to resist arrest.

Ontario minister visits
Herizon House Tuesday
to discuss new funds
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
AJAX — An Ajax-Pickering women’s
shelter is getting its share of a $20
million provincial funding announce-
ment.
Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of
Community and Social Services, vis-
ited Herizon House in Ajax July 24 to
announce the new three-year funding
plans that will provide $27,000 annu-
ally to the local women’s shelter.
“I will say all of you here this morn-
ing know someone who is a victim of
domestic violence, but you don’t know
it,” said Ms. Meilleur, standing in front
of a podium inside the women’s cen-
tre.
The $20-million announcement will
help social services provide shelter
and counselling to women and their
children; interpreters and intervenors
for those who are deaf, deafened,
hard-of-hearing or deaf-blind; as well
as homelessness prevention
programs and hostels for
medically-fragile or hard-to-
house people. A two-per cent
increase to base budgets for
programs has also been pro-
vided as of April, 2007.
At Herizon House, the additional
$27,000 a year will help with employee
costs and with providing another Ajax
location on Kingston Road, which will
include a one-bedroom apartment for
transition housing, store, and outreach
offices, said Catherine Carney-White,
the centre’s executive director.
Wayne Arthurs, Ajax-Pickering-Ux-
bridge MPP, said the Ajax-Pickering
location of the announcement is an
acknowledgement that these issues
occur throughout the province, not
just in the big urban centres.
“We are not immune,” said Mr. Ar-
thurs.
Herizon House is one of four wom-
en’s shelters in Durham and all are full,
said Ms. Carney-White.
“It’s typical as soon as a bed is empty
it’s filled again,” she added.
Although the majority of its residents
are from throughout Durham Region,
concentrated in the Ajax-Pickering
area, some come from out of province
because of safety concerns.
With Ajax-Pickering becoming such
a diverse community, Ms. Carney-
White said the centre’s seeing more
ethnic women who become aware of
their rights as Canadians and
opt for the shelter. The fund-
ing will help them further
reach out to women in the
community and with out-
reach.
Many women they see have
endured abuse for a long time and
depend on their spouse financially,
she said.
“Most of the women don’t want to
leave because they’re afraid,” said Ms.
Carney-White. “It’s a really big deci-
sion to take your kids with whatever
you can fit in a garbage bag.”
Sometimes, kids talk their mom into
going back, which can cause the cycle
of abuse to repeat in their own adult
relationships, she added.
Ms. Carney-White said education is
key in preventing domestic violence,
as well as intervention for children,
increased community awareness and
responsibility for taking care of and
not judging the women in these rela-
tionships.
“Lots of people think it’s the wom-
an’s fault,” she said.
When people ask why did a woman
stay in the relationship, she answers,
how could they leave.

Stronger agreement
would improve water
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement needs to be mod-
ernized.
That’s the message Ajax council is
sending to the Canadian and Ameri-
can governments.
The agreement hasn’t been re-
viewed in 20 years. It’s based on the
Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 and
reaffirmed in 1972 in regards to re-
storing and maintaining the health
of the lakes.
Ajax hopes the governments act
because “our beach has lost its
‘swimability’,” Mayor Steve Parish
says. “For the third consecutive sum-
mer, it’s been posted to warn people
not to swim in Lake Ontario. We
need solutions, so Ajax residents can
once again swim at the beach.”
Mayor Parish notes the Town has
taken steps to improve water qual-
ity, such as pushing for more strin-
gent environmental controls on the
expansion of the water pollution
control plant in Pickering and tak-
ing part in a water quality testing
program with Durham Region and
Toronto and Region Conservation.
“Ajax is taking many actions lo-
cally, but we will not achieve our ob-
jective without focused and effective
actions being taken sooner rather
than later by senior governments
to pinpoint contamination sources,
especially in Lake Ontario, and pro-
vide long-term funding for pollution
control measures,” he says.
“It’s time that Canada and the
United States aggressively act to bet-
ter protect Great Lakes waters from
escalating threats,” the mayor adds.
“Current environmental standards
haven’t kept pace with the increas-
ing range of threats.”
To deal with the threats, the Town
wants the agreement to include a
“strong accountability framework,”
Mayor Parish states.
The framework was recommended
by the International Joint Commis-
sion, an independent body set up to
prevent and settle disputes relating
to water quality in the Great Lakes.
Mayor Parish notes the framework
would require all the partners to
identify their responsibilities and
regularly report to the public.
However, for the framework to
work, long-term funding would be
required, something municipalities
desperately need, the mayor notes.
A motion passed by Ajax coun-
cil also calls for the agreement to
be constantly updated as ‘emerging’
contaminants are identified, the best
possible treatment technologies be
used at sewage treatment and water
supply plants, and a more rigourous
environmental assessment pro-
cess be used for sewage treatment
plants.

Region lays one
charge for smoking
in a prohibited area
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The number of restau-
rants in the Region keeps growing and
growing, but the number of establish-
ments convicted of improper practices
remains relatively low.
According to Ken Gorman, the
Region’s director of environmental
health, each year the food industry
in Durham grows by at least 10 per
cent or between 250 and 350 establish-
ments.
The health department is required
by the Ontario Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care to conduct a Food
Safety Program, which includes the
inspection and monitoring of all 3,500
food premises, everything from restau-
rants to hotdog carts, throughout the
Region.
Of all those establishments, only five
were convicted under the Food Prem-
ises Regulation in the past six months.
“If you look at four years ago to
today, it speaks volumes to improved
compliance and operators co-oper-
ating better with health inspectors,”
Mr. Gorman said. “If the list is getting
shorter, but the number of restaurants
is getting larger, I would suggest we are
having a positive influence on the food
establishments.”
Mr. Gorman explained he thinks the
list is getting shorter because of the
publicity that comes with a convic-
tion.
Among the establishments listed
on the Region’s twice annual list of
convictions, released on July 23, was
Wimpy’s Diner on Park Road in Os-
hawa, with four convictions ranging
from an employee failing to wash their
hands to failing to protect food from
contamination.
In addition to the inspection of food
premises, the Health Department is re-
quired to enforce the Ontario Tobacco
Control Act, regulating the sale of to-
bacco to individuals under 19 years of
age, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act and
the Health Protection and Promotion
Act, including Rabies Immunization
Regulation 567.
The Region’s twice annual list of
convictions under the Tobacco Con-
trol Act is also low compared to Jan.
1 to June 30, 2006 when there were
62 convictions listed. In the past six
months there were 22 convictions list-
ed, ranging from Beaver Gas in New-
castle, convicted with selling tobacco
to a minor, to the Min-Pins Variety
store in Oshawa, which was convicted
of selling tobacco that was improperly
packaged.
“That could be tobacco coming in
from sources that haven’t paid their
taxes or properly stamped,” Mr. Gor-
man said.
On the list there is only a single con-
viction of someone smoking in a pro-
hibited area, at the Regent Apartments
in Oshawa, which Mr. Gorman said is
evidence of the tremendous effort by
business and owners and establish-
ments since the Smoke Free Ontario
legislation came into effect.
The list also details three convictions
under the Rabies Immunization Regu-
lation and three convictions under the
Health Protection and Promotion Act
related to West Nile virus, all derelict
swimming pools, which carried fines
between $400 and $2,000. The full list
of convictions is available online at
www.region.durham.on.ca.
More restaurants,
fewer convictions
Did you know?
If someone has a complaint regard-
ing an eating establishment, tobac-
co issues, West Nile virus, or other
environmental health concerns they
can call the Health Department’s
Environmental Help Line at 905-723-
3818 or 1-888-777-9613, ext. 2188.
Jan. 1 to June. 30, 2007- five estab-
lishments convicted
July 1 to Dec. 31, 2006- two estab-
lishments convicted
Jan. 1 to June. 30, 2006- 10 estab-
lishments convicted

A vision of life in
a different time
I managed to escape with the
family for a couple of days in
Stratford this week. Stratford
is a marvellous place. It’s like Ni-
agara Falls with a PhD. You can’t
walk a block without bumping
into a coffee shop, bookstore or
ice cream parlour. It’s sort of
how I’ve always imagined heav-
en would be.
Our two and a half hour trek to
Stratford takes us through some
of the most stunningly beauti-
ful countryside imaginable. We
travel east briefly then hang a left
down into Mennonite country. I
confess I am strangely attracted
to the Mennonites and their
anachronistic lifestyle. I find
them, in their plain black broad-
cloth, both spooky and oddly,
romantic. And this goes beyond
my affinity for sponge baths.
In a digitized world spinning
at light-speed, the slow, digni-
fied pace and rhythm of their
community appeals to me. As of
course it would, observing them,
as I do, from the comfort of my
air-conditioned, leather-seated
automobile. Things would look
different, I’m sure, were I out
in the heat and humidity, shov-
elling horse poop and raising
barns all day. Plus, I’m unsure
where a person with my particu-
lar skill set would fit in in such
a society. Is there much call for
Mennonite comics?
“Hey, it’s great to be back
here at the Jacobschtettle farm.
Whoa! Round bales? What’s up
with those? I’m here all week, try
the sausage.”
I’m also, if truth be told, a little
frightened of Mennonite women.
Well, terrified, is perhaps more
accurate. I see them trotting
down the shoulders of the high-
way in their black, hearse-like
carriages, whips in hand, and I
think, “These ladies would eat
me alive.”
I’m not nearly man enough for
the likes of them.
“Vy you don’t finish your
cobbler Liebschon...unt you
haven’t touched my dumplinks
in veeks.”
Yikes. I don’t see myself in a
straw hat and denim shirt any-
time soon. Besides, I’m severely
allergic to hard work.
In Stratford we had two plays
on our agenda. A Shakespeare
offering and Steinbeck’s, Of Mice
and Men. The former, unfortu-
nately, was akin to three hours
of sticking knitting needles in
our eyes. Just as there is noth-
ing more soul-stirring than good
theatre, there is surely nothing
more painful than bad theatre.
I’ve often thought that un-coop-
erative prisoners and informants
should be made to sit through
a boring performance. Inside of
two acts they would be singing
their heads off just to get out of
there. Had we not had a friend in
the show and had the audience
only slightly outnumbered the
cast, I think we might have tried
to make a break for it.
Thankfully the saving grace of
Stratford is its variety. And the
next days’ performance proved
to be one of those moments
when, as a parent, you feel that
you have finally done something
right. This show was pure magic.
My family and I were trans-
ported on the wings of masterful
storytelling until the lights came
up to find all of us in tears and
changed at some meaningful
level. I could almost hear the
audible click of something very
important falling into place in
my children’s minds.
The drive home was filled
with lively discussion and im-
pressions the day had left on all
of us. So occupied were we that
we scarcely marked the passage
of the pastoral Mennonite coun-
tryside. Although, in the back of
my mind, I was pondering where
I might get a hold of a whip and a
bonnet for my wife.

Gaining life experiences
For the past three years, All Saints Catholic Secondary School
students have travelled to Consuelo, a small town in the Do-
minican Republic to take part in the Dominican Experience.
They stay with a local family as the week-long immersion pro-
gram allows them to experience life in a developing country.
This year the students brought more than 240 lbs of donations in the
form of medical supplies from Durham Medical, school supplies from
Grand and Toy and sporting equipment/uniforms from the Whitby
baseball and soccer clubs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Adults need to teach
children right
To the editor:
Re: Neil Crone’s June 20 col-
umn, ‘Parents must own up to
responsibilities’.
It seems that many of our po-
litical, educational and media
leaders and those of us who
should be role models setting
positive examples for kids have
buried common sense.
Congratulations to Pickering
councillors Bill McLean and Jen-
nifer O’Connell for leading the
charge when I wrote Pickering
Council regarding crosswalk
safety. I hope that unmarked
police cars will, when school
begins in September, randomly
patrol school zones and charge
irresponsible adults (parents?)
who put children, seniors and
other adults in harm’s way by
unlawful, dangerous driving
habits. Are these irresponsible
drivers contributing to children
becoming irresponsible drivers
also? Nothing is more impor-
tant than common sense when
it comes to the lives of the in-
nocent.
Shame on our educators who
seem to feel that making chil-
dren accountable for not turn-
ing in properly done school
work is unnecessary. Failure
can be a positive life lesson
sometimes. Reducing the value
of school credits hurts those
students who do care and work
hard. Parents who demonstrate
to their kids that going to school
on Thursdays before a long
weekend isn’t important should
be given detentions. Teachers
who don’t teach a scheduled
lesson because only a few stu-
dents cared enough to show up
for class should join the parents
in the detention. Is common
sense and leadership obsolete
in school administrators and
parents?
Parents are the key to children
learning the real and positive
values of life: love of self, neigh-
bour, those in need (in Canada
and globally) and OUR country.
Come on parents, grandpar-
ents, teachers, politicians and
business folks. For the sake of
our children and our country,
let’s unite and bring common
sense back to life.

Fair trade could teach
kids, raise money
To the editor:
I read the column on fair trade
on durhamregion.com written
by All Saints Catholic Secondary
School Students.
I have been researching the
issue of fair trade and how we
can bring this into our school
fundraising. I have been in con-
tact with a company in Toronto
that is a Fair Trade distributor
for chocolate and other products
including coffee. Chances are
there has never been a fair trade
fundraising program in any of
the schools, at least that I know
of in the Durham public school
board.
We have over the years sent
our kids into the neighbourhood
selling chocolate at a markup
for the benefit of our schools.
People could have gone to the
dollar store no doubt and paid
half the price, but they purchase
to help the school communi-
ties raise money to cover things
to enhance education and ac-
tivities that the government just
does not fund any more.
Fair trade chocolate is another
way to help the community -
the global community. The kids
learn the full supply chain and
fair trade ensures workers are
properly compensated.
I would like to see my son’s
school and other schools in Dur-
ham, in the separate and public
boards, embrace fair trade and
teach our kids that global eco-
nomics can also be about doing
the right thing.
A copy of this letter will be sent
to the chairman of the Durham
District School Board, Marilyn
Crawford, with the suggestion
that for our first Regional School
Community Council meeting we
invite a speaker to share with
other schools councils about fair
trade and fundraising programs.

New hospital should
be an election issue
I t took an unexpected emergency, but the situation with
health care provision across the region is less than ideal as a
result of the shutdown of Lakeridge Health Whitby because
of a fire.
Because Lakeridge Whitby is out of action for the foreseeable
future, the 71 patients who were cared for at the site have had
to be moved to other locations. Some are now receiving care on
the surgical floors at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The situation is,
not to put too fine a point on it, critical.
Concerns about health care throughout Durham Region have
been constant especially over the past few decades as the region
has grown dramatically. While there has been some reaction to
that growth -- witness the revamping of the Lakeridge Health
Oshawa emergency department over the past year -- what is
clearly needed is a long-range plan.
While the Lakeridge Health Whitby fire of July 2 was on a scale
that is unprecedented, it merely points to the obvious problem:
with Durham’s growing and aging population we simply will not
have enough beds or facilities to care for our citizens in years
to come. That’s where the concept of a new full-service north
Whitby hospital comes into play.
In the talking stages locally over the past few years, it’s time
to ramp up the rhetoric for a full-service facility in the near
term. While it’s understood the planning and budgeting for a
hospital is a multi-year endeavour, there is a provincial election
coming up in two and a half months and there’s no time like the
present to put some pressure on candidates and leaders to con-
sider the issue. Certainly, health care executives and municipal
politicians are well aware of the need for more hospital care in
Durham Region. A Whitby facility would go a long way toward
reducing the pressure on Lakeridge Health Oshawa and Rouge
Valley Ajax-Pickering Hospital. Of that, there can be no doubt.
It could also be partnered with the burgeoning University of
Ontario Institute of Technology and act as a teaching hospital.
There could be an innovative funding formula developed for the
facility and it could, as UOIT has, become an innovator while
serving the greater public good. Clearly, the population here
is on the rise with Durham expected to be home to 1 million
people inside of a quarter century, up from just under 600,000
now. We will need health care that can look after that growth
and a new Lakeridge Health Whitby would be a great start.

Hornets sting
Gloucester for
Cobras title
AJAX — The Ajax Hornets girls’
under-10 soccer team stung the
Gloucester Hornets to capture the title
at the fourth annual Cumberland Cobras
Snakebite Tournament in Ottawa re-
cently.
In the Serpent’s Lair Division final
against Gloucester, the Ajax Hornets
posted a 3-0 victory.
The Ajax Hornets began the tour-
nament with decisive wins over the
Gloucester Hornets (4-1), the Kingston
United Wildcats (6-1), and the Goulbourn
Gators (4-1) to earn placement in the
final.
The Hornets displayed a united at-
tack by the team’s strikers, which fed
directly off the intelligent play of the
midfielders.
The Hornets were also supported
by superb goalkeeping and an unrelent-
ing defensive line.
[ Basketball ]

Pickering bantams
crush Whitby for
Bolton Braves title
PICKERING — The Pickering Red
Sox major bantam rep baseball team
cruised to the championship at the an-
nual Bolton Braves Bantam Tournament
recently.
The Sox routed the Whitby Chiefs
minor bantams 18-1 in the championship
game.
Throughout the weekend, the
Pickering major bantams went unde-
feated, while outscoring their opponents
58-15 in five games.
Pickering advanced to the final after
lambasting the Sudbury Hitmen 11-4 in
the semifinal.
In round-robin play, the Sox started
with a 14-4 victory over the Martingrove
Express.
In a close game, the Sox outlasted
the host Bolton Braves 5-3 in Game 2.
Against the Guelph Royals, Pickering
posted a come-from-behind 10-3 win
in the rain. Trailing 3-1 heading into the
bottom of the seventh inning, the Sox
pounded out nine runs to record the
win.
Team members are Richard Abbott,
Jordan Bean, Nick Cappa, Rob Heard,
Graham Holland, Dennis Linthwaite,
Chris Marraccini, Alex Melvin, Myles
Phillips, Aaron Rabena, Peter Ricciardi,
Travis Rutherford and Brian Smith.
[ Marathon ]
Whitby waterfront
race on Sunday
DURHAM — A new Mini Marathon
is coming to Whitby on Sunday.
A 21-kilometre run/walk on July
29 at the Whitby Yacht Club will be the
feature of the day, while the 13th an-
nual Whitby 5,000-metre road race will
also entertain those involved.
It is expected the day will attract
as many as 500 athletes to the water-
front.
The mini Marathon starts at 7:30
a.m. and the Whitby 5000 begins 15
minutes later at 7:45.
The event will run on the water-
front trail east to Oshawa and back to
Whitby.
For more information contact 905-
666-4801 or pick up registration forms
at the Whitby Library, Whitby Running
Room or the Pickering Running Room.
With the projected success of this
event, it’s thought that in July 2009,
Whitby will become the home of a full
marathon, expected to draw more
than 3,000 athletes throughout what
would be a weekend-long event.

Rock take stranglehold
on semifinal with Stars
Chris Parkin propels
Ajax-Pickering past
Mohawk Sunday
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — One of the more unher-
alded members of the Ajax-Pickering
Rock contributed in a major way against
the Mohawk Stars on Sunday night.
Chris Parkin was in on all six Rock
goals, scoring twice and adding four as-
sists in pacing his team to a 6-4 victory in
Game 2 of the best-of-five OLA senior ‘B’
lacrosse semifinal series at the Pickering
Recreation Complex.
The Rock lead the series two games to
none, after winning the series opener on
the road with a come-from-behind 8-7
double-overtime victory in Ohsweken,
near Brantford, on Friday night. With the
only Rock shot of the second overtime
frame, veteran Mike Daley found room
behind Mohawk starter Ken Montour to
give Ajax-Pickering the victory.
Ajax-Pickering can advance to its sec-
ond league final series in as many years
with a win over Mohawk at the Gaylord
Powless Memorial Arena Thursday.
Parkin, a second-year member of
the Rock, quite simply enjoyed his best
game in an Ajax-Pickering uniform on
Sunday, notes Rock head coach Paul
St. John. Parkin, along with power play
mainstays Wayne Burke, assistant cap-
tain Mark Craig, Mike Daley and captain
Jim Veltman, took full advantage of a
spate of Mohawk penalties on Sunday.
“We missed Parky in Game 1 as he
had a family commitment. Having him
back in the lineup tonight, he played
the best lacrosse game of his life. He
realizes the chances to play for a national
championship get slimmer and slimmer
as time goes on. He took some big hits
tonight and he drew a few penalties and
he made them pay for it,” says St. John.
In fact, both Parkin’s goals and two
of his assists came on the power play.
Veterans Wayne Burke and team captain
Jim Veltman also made the Stars pay for
their penalties, with Burke earning five
assists, with four coming on the power
play. Veltman finished with a power play
goal Sunday to go along with a four-
point effort (two goals, two assists) in
Friday’s opener.
Parkin says he was only too happy
to contribute on Sunday after missing
Game 1 Friday.
“We needed this game. It was good to
get two goals at home. That’s my game -
- taking shots. On the power play, it gives
you time to see what you’re shooting at
it. It was good just
to get back on the
floor and help the
team as much as I
could,” he says.
Parkin wasn’t
the only solid
performer for
the Rock on the
weekend. Goal-
tenders Mike
Miron and Steve
Dietrich picked
each other up at critical junctures in
both games.
With just more than 10 minutes re-
maining in the third period of Sunday’s
Game 2, Dietrich left the game after
being hit on the thumb with a hard Mo-
hawk shot from close range. Nursing a
6-4 lead, Miron came on and completely
stoned the Stars the rest of the way.
In Friday’s game, after starter Miron
surrendered three Mohawk goals, he
was replaced by Dietrich who held the
fort and allowed the Rock to get back
in the contest and eventually win it in
double overtime.
“When you have two great goalies,
and I mean no disrespect to our third
goalie Dave Power, you’ve always got
a chance to win. Tonight, Mike goes in
and closes things out. That’s why he’s a
pro. Chugger (Dietrich) closed the door
in Game 1,” says St. John, adding that
Dietrich was taken out of Sunday’s game
as a precaution and should be OK for
Thursday’s Game 3.
Other Rock scorers on Friday night
were Burke with two, Tyler Phillips,
Shawn Summerfield and Craig.
Game 4, if necessary, is at the Pickering
complex on Friday, July 27 at 8:30 p.m.

Lead the Mohawk Stars in
best-of-five semifinal series 2-0.
Game 1: Rock 8-7 (double OT)
Game 2: Rock 6-4
The Owen Sound Woodsmen lead
their best-of-five semifinal series
over the Brooklin Merchants two
games to none after winning 10-9
in overtime Saturday night in Owen
Sound and 12-10 in Brooklin Sunday
night. The Woodsmen can close out
the series with a win in Owen Sound
on Saturday... If the Woodsmen do win
Saturday and the
Rock is successful
over Mohawk, both
teams gain entrance
to the Presidents Cup playdowns
(Canadian championship) in Owen
Sound from Aug. 20 to 25. As the
Woodsmen are hosts and thus receive
an automatic berth, the Rock would
go in as the Ontario representative...
Ian McGough has joined the Rock
as an assistant coach. McGough will
be running the team’s offence for the
remainder of the season...
Felicien
advances to
Pan Am final
PICKERING — Pickering Olympian
Perdita Felicien has taken her first steps
toward another Pan American Games
medal in her storied track and field ca-
reer.
The two-time Olympian and world
champion hurdler qualified easily on the
track at Estadio Joao Hevelange in Rio de
Janeiro at the 2007 Games on Tuesday
afternoon.
She hit the finishing line first in her
semifinal heat in 12.69 seconds, a sea-
son’s best effort. Cuban Anay Tejada was
second in 12.80 and American Yvette
Lewis was third in 13.25.
The other Canadian in the 100-metre
hurdles, Angela Whyte, of Edmonton,
also won her semifinal heat in 12.68 sec-
onds.
Felicien, a
seven-time Cana-
dian 100-metre
hurdles champ,
represented Can-
ada at the 2003
Pan American
Games in Santo
Domingo, Do-
minican Repub-
lic, earning a sil-
ver medals in her
specialty.
The 100-
metre hurdles
final goes today
(Wednesday).
Felicien,
26, hopes the Pan
Am Games will
serve as a positive
stepping stone to-
ward another gold
medal at the IAAF World Outdoor Track
and Field Championships in Osaka,
Japan later this summer.
Meanwhile, another Pickering Olym-
pian, Anson Henry, 28, earned a berth in
the final of the 100 metres at the Games.
That race was run Tuesday evening after
press time.

Celines of the small screen
Ajax and Pickering
actresses play the Quebec
songstress in TV movie
By Marva Palmer
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — She may not look like
Celine Dion but she certainly sounds
like her, and that has landed Pickering
resident Lisa Manis the singing voice
of the diva as a teenager. On the other
hand, five-year-old Riley Waldriff of
Ajax resembles Dion- when she was a
three-year old.
They are in a made-for-TV movie
about the singing sensation from
Charlemagne, Quebec.
“It’s funny, she was the first artist
I identified with as a child. My tone
is a lot like hers.
We both have a
nasally touch to
our voice,” said
Manis.
Eighteen-
year-old Manis
sings three
songs in the
movie. She said
it was an excel-
lent opportuni-
ty, but also very
difficult.
“Two of the songs were original
pieces they wrote strictly for the
movie,” she said.
“They’re actually really gorgeous
songs but it was difficult to imitate
her because I had no source to go
from. She’s never sung these songs.”
The third song was ‘Proud Mary’.
Learning that one was easier, as
there’s a recording of that song by
Dion in her youth.
Manis has done three musical the-
atre productions, including a nine-
month stint at the Stratford Festival.
She appears in numerous radio and
television commercials.
Riley’s professional debut is playing
a very young Dion when she was hos-
pitalized after being hit by a car. Riley
said she enjoyed acting the part.
“Pretending to be Celine Dion was
fun and I hope to do it again,” she
said.
Riley’s mother, Julie Waldriff, said
she is proud of her daughter and the
stunt she did.
“The movie’s director said he’s
worked with adults who couldn’t have
done the stunts that she did. She had
to stand on the road and the car came
up and landed about five feet from
her. She had to turn around and look,
but not look scared or anything, just
had to turn around and look and get
hit. And she stood there. She didn’t
flinch. It was pretty impressive,” Wal-
driff said.
With some help from her mother,
Riley described her role with excite-
ment.
“It was easy to pretend to be sick. I
had to close my eyes and had to pre-
tend that I was run over by a car,” she
said excitedly.
“And I was in a real hospital in a
bed and they had a heart monitor on
me. I had a bruise on my nose and
my forehead, and the breathing mask
was candy.”.
Although Manis speaks French, she
said she is not bilingual so the job of
singing like a French person trying to
sound English was especially chal-
lenging.
“They wanted the sound to be
French, but a French [person] imitat-
ing an English [person],” she said. “It
took me a bit to get down the French
accent with some of the words.”
Manis is off to Queen’s University
in September, where she plans to ob-
tain a Bachelor of Arts degree with a
focus on music and drama.
“For me it would be better to get
the education, get comfortable with
who I am before I enter the business
that is very unpredictable and dif-
ficult,” she said.
Riley is a busy little girl. In addition
to acting, she is part of a competi-
tive gymnastics team. She does com-
petitive dancing and also plays the
drums.
The movie about Celine Dion’s life,
directed by Jeff Woolnough (Battle-
star Galactica, CSI), will be shown on
CBC in the fall.

sicians. It brings them into being more
involved in the community and shows
their talents and what they can bring,”
she said.
The groups are performing for free.
“We have metal, rock, punk and ska all
coming out for this.”
Proceeds from a barbecue also go to
the cancer centre.
Bands taking part on Aug. 11 are
Krakatoa, Betrayer, Diablo Red, Wet-
work, Our Lady of Bloodshed, Torn
Black, Silvercade, Automatic, Necroma-
tory, Vengeance Through Annihilation,
Four Ways to Die, Ground Level, Gala-
had and Creep Colony.

Perry, Keepin 6, In the Act of Violence,
Rumsfield, Central Boulevard, The
Damnation Game, Malevolent Massa-
cre, Lurker, The Bagatellies, Bolero, Em-
pyrean Plague and Burried and Breath-
ing.
The event’s at the Old General Store,
Burketon, 10249 Old Scugog Rd. Gates
open at 12:30 p.m. both days. There is
limited tent camping. Advance tickets
are $25 for weekend with camping, $20

Joslin says time was right
to become a head coach
in junior ‘A’ hockey
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — With less than a
month until training camp opens,
newly minted Pickering Panthers
head coach Mark Joslin knows he’s
behind the eight-ball.
That’s why, he says, he’ll rely heav-
ily on assistant coaches Mike Heffer-
ing and John Walters to smooth the
way for him until he’s up to speed on
the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’
Hockey League team.
“I’m looking for a lot of input and
help from them,” says Joslin, intro-
duced as the new Panthers’ bench
boss late last week. “I’m looking to
them for a lot of support and they
seem to be on board with it.”
The 43-year-old Richmond Hill na-
tive takes over
from former
Panthers head
coach Pat Cur-
cio, who left last
week to become
an assistant
coach with the
Ontario Hockey
League’s Lon-
don Knights.
As Curcio’s
departure came
late in the off-season, Joslin says
some of his duties, such as player
evaluation, have to be done on the
fly, but he’s looking forward to the
challenge of bringing everything to-
gether.
“We only have three-and-a-half
weeks until camp, but we’ll be ready,”
says Joslin, whose first order of busi-
ness was a meeting among the coach-
ing staff and players on Tuesday.
Joslin says the time was simply
right for him to move into the head
coaching ranks after spending the
last three seasons as an assistant
coach with the Aurora Tigers under
head coach Jerome Dupont.
Moreover, he and the Tigers’ orga-
nization had just come off a dream
season, capped by winning the Royal
Bank Cup, symbolic of Canadian tier
II junior hockey supremacy.
“It’s a great opportunity and I think
the timing is re-
ally good. Au-
rora is an elite
organization
and I learned a
lot in the three
years I’ve been
in Aurora,” says
Joslin, who also
serves as a scout
with the OHL’s
Barrie Colts.
“I felt
three years was enough. Jerome Du-
pont is an amazing hockey person
and I learned what it takes to win and
to be a winner.”
Joslin notes, however, the Pickering
job offer was a bolt out of the blue,
as his focus was on his elite hockey
school for OHL players and pros-
pects and wasn’t even aware there
was an opening in Pickering.
“When Frank Robinson (Panthers’
GM) called it was a shock,” he says.
“But, for them to show interest in
me and think that I was the guy was
gratifying. When they offered me the
job I was shocked and excited.”
While the timing was right to be-
come a head coach in junior hockey,
he admits the lack of evaluation time
leading up to the main training camp
on Aug. 20 is not ideal.
“The timing, in that sense, isn’t
perfect. I wasn’t at the rookie camp,
but John and Mike were there, so I’ll
be relying heavily on their feedback.
Frank and I are working hard in look-
ing at our player options and we’re
working to do it in a short period of
time.”
Joslin says the Panthers’ roster will
be changed somewhat this season,
with starting goaltender Brad Fogel,
defencemen Zack Fenwick and Mi-
chael Banwell and team captain and
forward Richard Schofield leaving for
U.S. hockey scholarships.
“We have lost a couple of key guys
to the NCAA, but we do have a great
core of players, especially forwards.
We’ll build from there,” he says.
If there’s one overriding goal in his
first tenure as a head coach, he says
it will be demanding consistency of
performance from his charges.
“Consistency is something we’re
going to focus on early in the year,”
says Joslin. “We want to be able to
play well on back-to-back nights.”

Kicking it
PICKERING — They may be under nine years old, but these boys really get a kick out of the game. The Pickering Predators, in
white, took on the Ajax Arsenal in the final game of the boys’ under-nine division at the Pickering All-Star Tournament Sunday. Thirty-
five teams competed. Pickering went on to win the U9 final 3-2.
PICKERING — The Pickering Prowl-
ers mite boys’ select softball team topped
Topham Park to claim the title at the
Goulding Park Tournament recently.
The four-team event featured mite se-
lect squads from Pickering, Richmond
Hill, Scarborough East and Topham
Park.
With Pickering and Topham Park
holding 2-0 records entering the final
round-robin contest, it was decided the
game would be the championship con-
test. The final was close until the third
inning when Pickering scored 11 unan-
swered runs en route to a comfortable
16-0 victory.
Nathan ‘Gunner’ Volpe pitched a no-
hitter in the final.
As in earlier contests, the Pickering
mites used consistent hitting and solid
defence to great effect.
In round-robin action, the Prowl-
ers defeated Scarborough East 9-4 and
ripped Richmond Hill 12-1.
