Now when he hears the howls and looks out his bedroom window to see the grass moving near his backyard, he knows it’s the coyotes. “At first it was like, ‘what the heck is that’,” said Mr. Campbell, who lives on Leah Cres- cent in Ajax. “You kind of jump out of your seat, like, ‘what was that’,” he said, regarding the first time he heard the howling coyotes from just beyond his backyard. The four or five coyotes he and his wife have been watching grow up from pups, howl within seconds of emergency sirens and when they’ve caught something, Mr. Campbell said. Since June, the coyote pups and mother have been on the other side of the galvanized fence in his backyard, sunning themselves and hiding in the weeds. His home backs onto Hermitage Park, behind Lincoln Alex- ander Public School, on Church Street North in Pickering Village. Although Hermitage Park is not the ideal location for coyotes, with only 12 acres of woodlot, the mom and pups have taken residence there, said Derek Hannan, Ajax’s manager of bylaw. They’ve been monitoring the situation since May or June with minis- try-certified wildlife experts. Other wooded areas in Ajax also have coyotes, he said. “They’re behaving the way coyotes should be behaving,” Mr. Hannan said. “We don’t want to hear coyotes sitting on people’s front porch... and walking through heavily popu- lated areas in the daylight.” Coyote pups on the prowl in park Photo by Michael Jurysta Lauren Mintoff doesn’t fear too much for her cat ‘Oscar’, certain he is tough and can look after himself, but brings him in at night just in case the coyotes are prowling. While coyotes such as this one in a submitted photo to the News Advertiser are making some south Ajax residents nervous, the Ministry of Natural Resources has a fact sheet on what to do if you come across a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal. It is normal for some species to leave their offspring temporarily alone, especially during the day so if you think the young animal is orphaned, check periodically for 24 to 48 hours to see if it is still around and keep dogs and cats away from the area. Contact a wildlife custodian if you feel the animal needs care. There are a number of contacts: Call the Ontario Wildlife Rehabilitation and Educa- tion network at 905-735-9556 or online at www.owren- online.org The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals can be reached at 1-888-668-7722 or online at http://ontariospca.ca/. ✦ See Lack, Page 2 The coyotes still leave the park looking for food, as many times Ajax staff have gone in and not seen them. Eventually, they may clue in that there isn’t a good food source there and leave. Really, they should be near sandy ridges, creeks and water sources, he said. Some residents in the area want the coyotes removed. The park is a popular area, with trails, tennis courts and a ball diamond, Mr. Campbell said. He’s concerned a child could get attacked while walking through the area. “They are wild animals,” Mr. Campbell said. “Something could take place, an unfortu- nate incident. “They should be picked up and taken to a more appropri- ate habitat,” Mr. Campbell said. A neighbour circulated a petition to have the animals trapped and moved, he said. Residents have made numer- ous phone calls to the Town as well. “There’s almost no squir- rels around, nobody’s seen any rabbits, hardly any raccoons... they’ve either taken off or be- come prey,” Mr. Campbell said. People have stopped letting their cats out, he said. “We’re concerned from a safety perspective,” Mr. Camp- bell said. Some residents feel not enough is being done, but when the experts feel there is an issue with the coyotes, they’ll inter- vene, Mr. Hannan said. “There has to be balance be- tween wildlife and urban devel- opment,” Mr. Hannan said. If a fence can keep a dog in, it can keep a coyote out. He rec- ommends keeping cats inside and added Ajax has a bylaw in place that dogs and cats shouldn’t be roaming around. But if a yard is unfenced, it’s not abnormal behaviour for coyotes to come into the yard looking for food. “Coyotes... they’re scaven- gers, they’re going to look for easy food sources,” Mr. Hannan said. “We would recommend all garbage be removed.” He suggested putting it in a shed or garage where it can’t easily be tipped. Also utilize green bins, clean up areas un- derneath bird feeders, pick up fallen fruit from trees and don’t intentionally feed them. Any- thing that attracts squirrels or skunks will also bring coyotes, Mr. Hannan said. “Take away the easy food sources,” he said. Children should also be edu- cated about approaching stray animals in general to begin with, he said. If they come across a stray, back away slowly because running could pro- voke an attack. “I just want to be clear here, we haven’t dealt with any abnormal behaviour,” Mr. Hannan said. The coyotes are still backing away and going in the opposite direction when people come near.EDGESEDGESFor More Information Call 905.831.1271 Visit us at our website for program information, start dates, times and to download a copy of our registration form Register Early as classes fi ll up very quickly www.edgeslearntoskate.com four locations edges to learn skate PROGRAMS AVAILABLE AT FOUR LOCATIONS Director, Janice Cook, Coaching Association of Canada (Level 3 Certifi ed), Children and Adult Skating Programs in Durham Region for the past 11 years 10 Week Programs Available for Fall Sessions Ten Levels of Instruction from Introductory to Advanced Parent & Tot (2-5) Preschoolers (2-5) Learn to Skate (4-16) Adult Learn to Skate Learn to Figure Skate (Recreational) Hockey Skating Skills Development Art Thompson Arena, Pickering Ajax Community Centre, Ajax Pickering Village Arena, Ajax Luther Vipond Arena, Brooklin FALL CLASSES BEGIN THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 22ND fall sessions celebrating 11 years Coaching Committed to Excellence Tradeability.ca offers a program called the “Candidate Manager System” a job matching tool for apprentices and employers.

DURHAM — Durham’s health department is trying to give child safety a boost with a reminder to parents and caregivers to use the ap- propriate booster seat when travelling with kids in the car. In a 2006 survey, the health department found two out of five kids aged four to seven in Durham were at risk of being injured because they weren’t put into booster seats. Provincial law says chil- dren under age eight who weigh less than 36 kilograms (80 pounds) or are shorter than 145 centimetres (4’9”) are required to use a booster seat when travelling in any vehicle. To remedy the situation, the Region hosts community displays to educate parents. On Aug. 27, a display will be set up at the Oshawa Centre from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Parents who get their kids measured for a booster seat will be en- tered in a draw for a prize. Staff is also hosting a display at Regional Headquarters at Rossland Road and Garden Street in Whitby on Sept. 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parents can have their children’s height measured and staff can answer ques- tions about the seats. “We hope that by educat- ing parents and caregivers of the importance of children using booster seats, that we can help protect kids from injury and death,” said Dur- ham public health nurse Melissa Kirkland. For more information on booster seat safety, residents can call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1- 800-841-2729.

Durham Region Tran- sit (DRT) buses will display a congratulatory message flashing in honour of her third place finish in the 100- metre hurdles. The note will be on the illuminated sign at the front of the bus that nor- mally displays destinations. This is the first time the company has praised a mem- ber of the community like this but the decision fits well with DRT’s community-oriented mandate, general manager Ted Galinis said. “We feel (like we are) a part of the community and Pris- cilla is a member of our com- munity so we’re welcoming her back and congratulating her,” he said. “We hope she’ll be thrilled to see her name all over the buses in Whitby.” The sign will only be up until the end of the Olym- pic games but for the people and places Ms. Lopes-Schliep knows in the region, her in- fluence will continue to reso- nate. “We want to congratu- late Priscilla on such a great performance,” said Brendan Browne, program supervi- sor at the Civic Auditorium Complex in Oshawa where she was once a member. He said he met the Olym- pic medallist while she vis- ited the centre to train for sprinting and hurdling and he continued to follow her progress over the years. “It’s awesome that a local athlete from the Durham Re- gion was able to accomplish a medal performance on a world stage -- the greatest stage in the world,” he said. “Hopefully it inspires younger athletes or aspiring athletes and young people to come out and work on their goals and know that with determi- nation, they can achieve any- thing.” Town Hall also has big plans for Ms. Lopes-Schliep’s return and could be cel- ebrating with a reception or parade, depending on the families’ wishes, Mayor Pat Perkins said.

Kids aged eight to 11 participated in tongue twister races, rhym- ing bingo and crafts. Eight arrested as $240K in drugs and cash seized OSHAWA — Eight people were ar- rested and almost a quarter-million dollars in drugs and cash were seized over the weekend as a result of an investigation by undercover Durham police officers. On Friday, Aug. 15, investigators from the Durham Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit were conduct- ing surveillance outside an Oshawa residence as part of an ongoing po- lice investigation into drug trafficking. Uniformed officers conducted a traffic stop on a car leaving the residence and found the lone male in the car in possession of 10.4 pounds of packaged marijuana, concealed inside a guitar case and duffle bag. The man was ar- rested and charged. A second traffic stop on a car leav- ing the same residence resulted in a second arrest. During the search, po- lice found a loaded .9 mm handgun, $80,000 in cash and five cellphones. Investigators also went to an address on MacInally Court in Oshawa and ar- rested six men. A search warrant was obtained and investigators seized a hockey bag with 24.4 pounds of packaged marijuana, 3.6 grams of cocaine, 167 grams of hash and weigh scales. In all, more than $9,000 in Canadian money and $111,700 in street drugs was seized. Ruben Melo, 29, of Rue Park, Que., is charged with possession of a con- trolled substance for the purpose of trafficking; trafficking in a controlled substance; possession of proceeds of crime; unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle; careless storage of a firearm; possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition; possession of an unauthorized firearm; and tam- pering with a serial number. Six other men, including the home- owner, face a combined list of 13 other drug-related charges and were held for a bail hearing. Police ask anyone with information about street-level drug activity to con- tact their local police division of the DEU at 905-579-1520, or 1-888-579- 1520. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional rime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward.

Sandra Cassidy believes the bus poses a safety hazard. The bus goes by the house; so what? The community needs the bus service. If she doesn’t like that, why doesn’t she sell the house and move out in the country. I hope the Ajax bus system continues the service. Jeff Tabrizi Burlington G reat eras and epochs throughout Earth’s history have always been named after some grand defining feature. The Jurassic had its dinosaurs, the Pleistocene had its Ice Ages and the Creta- ceous had its insects and flowering plants. All known for one or two major identify- ing features. Well, I think the same kind of nomenclature can be applied to family life. Initially it was only my wife and I liv- ing together for the first time. This was the Beaudaceous period. A time of great adventure and upheaval characterized by violent heating and cooling trends as new pressures forced egos, passions and opinions to grind together. Such volatility made for enormous fun and the creating of altogether new and wondrous formations. Depending on whether you ask a male or a female, this period is also known respec- tively as the Age of Apology or the Age of Stupidity. Then came the first pregnancy and the first Ice Cream Age or the Haagen-Dazian era. And the world and ankles became swollen and ripe with life. Water was retained until levels reached catastrophic proportions. It was a time of great rubbing of shoulders and patting of bellies, but oth- erwise characterized by very little contact between the main continents. This era culminated in still more pain- ful contractions and expansions and the shedding of great waters, called tears. The final result of which was beautiful, new life and never-before-experienced levels of joy and mountains of diapers. We refer to this period as the Messy-zoic era or the Age of Talcum. It is characterized chiefly by a huge upsurge in nocturnal activity and subsequent lack of sleep. A time when laundry covered the earth. Next appeared a delightful period of great creativity. A renaissance of art, lan- guage and learning. We called this the Plastocene era, sometimes known as the Legoic era. A time of tremendous growth, both intellectual and physical. Language is discovered, as are, unfortunately, wall drawings. A period of relative calm follows. Slow, gentle growth dotted with occasional flur- ries of activities called birthday parties. Archeological evidence from this period reveals hundreds of teeth found under pil- lows, indicating some kind of massive vita- min deficiency. A time of order and peace, where parental authority is almost deified. Contrast this to the current epoch, a time of unprecedented upheaval and tur- bulence. The dreaded Teens, otherwise known as the Egoic period. A time char- acterized by great herds of gangly limbed, slack-jawed bi-peds. These creatures, known for their voracious appetites will appear out of nowhere, in noisy, boisterous packs, demanding to be fed. Great caution is urged around these beasts as they are completely unpredictable and subject to enormous mood swings. Physically they look somewhat humanoid, but curiously have very poor, even selective hearing and virtually no memory. This is the era we now find ourselves in. Challenging? Most certainly. But like every other era we have traveled through togeth- er, not at all without its excitement, adven- ture and education. Like all good scientists, we are learning something new every day. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Durham’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep hurdles her way to medal I t came four years later, almost to the day, but Canada finally has a medal in the Olympic women’s 100-metre hurdles. That it was Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes- Schliep and not Pickering’s Perdita Felicien standing on the podium is one of the more interesting Canadian stories of the Beijing Olympics. The Durham dynamo, a powerful five- foot-four package of pure rippling muscle, blazed across the finish line in 12.64 sec- onds Tuesday night to earn a bronze medal by a whisker. Ms. Lopes-Schliep, a delightful, sweet- natured young woman off the track, is a ferocious, intense bulldog once she gets into the starting blocks. With an outside shot at medalling in the final, she came through to capture third place. That she didn’t even run her personal best leaves us all wondering just how low she can go and whether Olympic and World Champion- ship gold awaits down the road. The Whitby athlete has long raced in the shadow of her more famous Durham neighbour. Ms. Felicien, after all, was 2003 world champion and won a silver in the worlds last year. She was the favourite to win gold in Athens four years ago before her disastrous first-hurdle stumble that was felt across the country. Ms. Felicien was determined to rebound in Beijing, but it was not to be. Ms. Felicien was felled by injury this year and relegated to commenting on the Olym- pics rather than competing on the team. Now, Ms. Lopes-Schliep has proven by her clutch performance on the world’s big- gest stage that she is a star in her own right, an athlete to reckon with on her own terms. Her story is proof that plenty of hard work can elevate a local girl into the elite club of top female athletes around the globe. Years of dedication have been rewarded with an unforgettable race that will put her name into the exclusive club of Canadian track and field Olympic medallists. It’s a small club and it’s not unreasonable to hope that two women from Durham can’t share the Olympic medal podium in London in 2012. We can hardly wait. Stages of life characterized by cool defining features Neil Crone/ Enter Laughing Chance to ‘hear plan and provide feedback’ By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — A public forum next month will give resi- dents a chance to make “a safe community safer.” The draft Community Safety Strategy for Ajax will be presented on Tuesday, Sept. 9. “We’ll share the draft strategies. There are 45 draft strategies. It’s an opportuni- ty for residents to ask ques- tions, said Marilou Murray, assistant to the chief ad- ministrative officer. The hope, Ms. Murray said, is to have the public “hear the plan and provide feedback and comments. “From there, we’ll move forward with the plan,” she said, adding that will in- clude a chance for the com- munity groups who worked on the strategy to have more input. The strategy has four key focus points -- neighbour- hoods, youth and family, transportation and getting around, and policing. Having a safety strategy has been the number-one priority of council and resi- dents. The need for a strate- gy came about after a series of high-profile incidents, including a shooting in a north Ajax neighbourhood during Halloween. Having the strategy is “a proactive strategy to make Ajax remain a safe and car- ing community,” Ms. Mur- ray said. The motto for the initia- tive is Making a safe com- munity... safer. “Ajax is a safe community. Other municipalities are call- ing. They’re interested in our model,” she said. Challenges for the Town include growth and a chang- ing demographic. Town of- ficials want to ensure there are programs for youths, Ms. Murray said. After the forum, the com- ments will be incorporated in the strategy, which will be posted on the Town’s website for review prior to going to council for final ap- proval in October. Partners in the endeav- our are The Youth Centre, the Safe Communities of Pickering-Ajax (SCOPA), the John Howard Society, Durham Region social ser- vices department, the Dur- ham Regional Police, the two school boards and the Community Development Council Durham. There are also two residents on the committee. The forum is being held from 7 to 9 p.m., in the Ro- tary Room of the main Ajax Public Library branch, at the corner of Harwood Av- enue and Achilles Road.

Victim doing ‘as well as can be expected’: grandmother By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com PETERBOROUGH — The grandmother of Stanley Tippett’s alleged victim has a message for the man charged with her grand- daughter’s kidnapping and sexual assault: “Rot in hell.” The woman was in court Mon- day morning as Mr. Tippett ap- peared by video from Lindsay jail, where he is currently being held in isolation. In court, new charges, includ- ing some stemming from a police chase in Courtice, were brought against Mr. Tippett. In addition to the many charges he already faces, including kid- napping, sexual assault and sexu- al interference, Mr. Tippett is now charged with two counts of failure to stop for a stop sign in Courtice and one count of failure to comply with a court order under which he is not allowed to communicate with an array of people. As well, the Crown added to that list Monday; now, Mr. Tippett is not allowed to communicate, directly or indirectly, with eight additional people, including his mistress, his mother and his chil- dren. Already on the list is his wife, Natalie, and other potential wit- nesses. Meanwhile, Mr. Tippett’s al- leged 12-year-old victim is heal- ing on the outside, but remains afraid to be alone, said her grand- mother, who cannot be identi- fied to protect the identity of the child. The girl is doing “as well as can be expected,” her grandmother said, indicating some of the facial swelling she had after the Aug. 5 incident had begun to recede. “Her eyes are open anyway.” She sustained injuries to much of her body. “There were no broken bones but she was a mess,” the girl’s grandmother said outside court Monday. The family has been instructed not to raise the event in conver- sation with the girl, but to allow her to talk when she wants to, her grandmother said. “She doesn’t really remember a lot.” In spite of that, the girl still has much healing to do on the inside. “She just doesn’t want to go to sleep,” the girl’s emotional grand- mother said. “She doesn’t want to be alone, period.” The family is grateful to the Courtice woman who heard the girl’s screams from behind Cour- tice Secondary School and called police. “I thank God she was con- cerned enough to phone and get help,” the grandmother said. “If not, we’d be going to a funeral.” Seeing Mr. Tippett in court, even via video, makes the grand- mother feel “outraged,” she said. “I see somebody that’s really got no guilt whatsoever,” she said. Asked if she had any message for Mr. Tippett, her answer came swiftly and with anger: “Rot in hell,” she said. 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address 000-000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 Local Address Local Address Local Address Local Address (000) 000-0000 (000) 000-0000 We want to meet you and your fitness goals.

Two sought in Subway robbery AJAX — Two suspects are being sought for the armed robbery of an Ajax sandwich shop early Friday. The men brandished a gun dur- ing the 5:15 a.m. heist at a Salem Road Subway outlet, Durham po- lice said. They fled in a car after demanding cash from a clerk, who wasn’t injured. Police are looking for two men, one white and the other black, in their late teens or early 20s. Local car buff looking forward to showcasing his beloved Chevelle By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There are plenty of classic car owners with a 1967 Chevrolet Ch- evelle like the one Pickering resident Rick Smiles owns. But, there are very few who are original owners. “I had always bought my father’s old cars from him and in 1967 I decided it was time to buy my first new car,” said Mr. Smiles, who was 21 when he made that memo- rable purchase. “Now, I’m one of the few who can say they’ve had it since day one.” The car has always been a summer only vehicle, but for the first 20 or so years, it was driven on a regular basis. Now it has antique car insurance and only hits the road for car shows, tours and special events like Au- tofest in Oshawa. Mr. Smiles has been showcasing his Chevelle at Autofest for more than 10 years, featuring it in the annual show that regularly draws more than 1,000 clas- sic cars from all over Cana- da and the U.S. His burgundy, two door, hard top Chevelle attracts lots of attention, especially because it’s a “numbers matching car,” which means all parts are the original ones the vehicle had when it rolled off the line. “It has been painted once in the 40 years I’ve had it,” Mr. Smiles said. “But every- thing else is just like it was when I bought it.” The Chevrolet Chevelle made its debut in 1964 to compete with the Ford Fair- lane and was produced by General Motors until 1977. Chevelle models ranged from family cars to convert- ibles, with a chassis that eventually provided the platform for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Mr. Smiles said keeping a 41-year-old car in good working order requires a lit- tle extra maintenance when it comes out of storage in the spring, as well as regular oil changes, fluid top-ups and other basic care. When he isn’t keeping the Chevelle in tip-top shape, he spends his time restoring a 1982 El Camino. It’s not quite old enough to make it into Autofest this year - - the event is open to cars form 1976 or older -- but he’s hoping to showcase it one day. This year’s 15th annual Autofest runs from Aug. 22 to 24 at Lakeview Park, marking the second year at that location, instead of General Motors headquar- ters. Organizers decided to make the move after the GM parking lot filled to capacity in 2006. They’re also hoping the switch to a larger setting will elevate Autofest to a na- tional tourism attraction. Autofest organizer Mike Kalynko said the 2008 event is expected to attract about 10,000 people and close to 2,000 display cars. “We’re going to see more cars than in past years and we’re expanding to take up more of the park, so it’s going to be quite big,” he said. In addition to old favou- rites like the soap box derby, downtown kickoff party and show and shine, Autofest 2008 will feature monster trucks Gravedigger and Monster Mutt with shows on Saturday and Sunday night, a “Women’s World Craft Show,” seminars and activities for kids. Autofest started in 1993 after the Regional Munici- pality of Durham asked the Motor City Car Club to host a one-time car show to cel- ebrate the region’s 20th an- niversary and automotive heritage. What started with 400 ex- hibitors in one GM parking lot, soon grew to hundreds of cars spanning the entire three lots and a weekend- long institution was born. “Autofest is an opportu- nity to see some great cars and run into old friends,” Mr. Smiles said. “I never miss it.” For more infor- mation, registration and a schedule of events, visit www.autofestoshawa.com.

Left to their own devices, they will quickly fi ll this void with whatever is handy. This in turn can ruin their appetite for the healthy dinner you plan on serving later in the evening. You can short circuit this cycle by keeping delicious and healthy snacks readily available to them. These snacks can include foods from all four food groups and should include whole grain foods, which most children do not get enough of.

It’s a constant question among journalists here, as the days start to string together. The days are categorized by the next event, the next venue, the next interview and the next story. Days are referred to as yesterday, today and tomorrow. Trying to figure out the date and day takes too much time. It’s just easier narrowing it down to a three-day week at this point. Meals also don’t follow the traditional pattern of breakfast, lunch and supper, either. While breakfast has been relatively normal, lunch and supper, if they happen at all, are all over the map. For instance, Wednesday we ate breakfast at 9 a.m. after shutting it down at 2 a.m. follow- ing the bronze medal win by Priscilla Lopes- Schliep. We boarded a shuttle bus to the Main Press Centre, and then another to the soft- ball stadium to arrive at 11 a.m. for a noon semifinal game between Canada and Aus- tralia. Lunch consisted of some Ritz crackers packed from home and a Coke around 1 p.m. Then it was on the 3:30 p.m. shuttle bus to Wukesong for the men’s baseball game between Canada and Chinese Taipei that began at 6 p.m. Upon arriving, there were sto- ries to write on Pickering umpire Greg Pipher, and a women’s softball wrap. Then up to the media area to get set for the game, only to find there are no food concessions here. Sup- per consists of a couple of oatmeal cookies packed from home. After the game that went into extra innings and took four hours to complete, it’s back down to the media workroom here at the ballpark to write a story on Chris Begg of Uxbridge, file a blog, and then catch the 11 p.m. shuttle back to the Main Press Centre, arriving at 11:30 p.m. Hopefully there is something left to eat when we get back. If not, by the time we get to bed, breakfast is only six or seven hours away. Brad Kelly and Ron Pietroniro are in Beijing covering the Games for this newspaper. By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Anson Henry’s family admits it hasn’t been easy staying out of touch with their Olympian son. Especially since his mother and father, Linda and Haywood, were anxious and concerned to know how he was feeling hav- ing seen him limp off the track after finishing his semifinal heat in the 100 metres at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Stadium on Aug. 14. “He started well; his start was excellent, but the last half of the race wasn’t going as well as it should have. After the race, I saw him limping,” said Linda Henry, who noted her 29-year-old son has experienced hamstring problems in the past. Henry ran his heat in 10.37 seconds to finish fourth. In his quarter-final heat, also on Aug. 14, however, he placed sev- enth in 10.33, which wasn’t fast enough to move on to the semifinals. After the race they were unsure if the injury was significant or if it would keep him from being part of the Canadian men’s 4-x-100-metre relay team that begins qualifying rounds today. “I don’t know his condition. I sent him an e-mail to see it he’s OK. I’m just waiting to hear back from him. By the looks of things, he did pull something,” she said. The Henrys, prior to the Olympics, agreed to limit e-mails and phone calls, all to keep their son firmly focused on his Olympic experience. “We made an agreement that we don’t e-mail or call each other. We wanted him to just relax and concentrate,” said Henry, who admits she has sent him an e-mail of congratula- tions on his 100-metre showing. “We talked with each other the day before his race and told him that we’ll be watching. We didn’t want him to have to find time to call. I didn’t want him waiting up on any night to connect with us because of the time change.” No matter how he fared in his 100 metres, the Pickering fam- ily is proud of his accomplishments thus far. “I am just on top of the world right now. It’s an honour to have a son who can run for Canada at these Olympics. They had all the top runners there and he did extremely well. It’s another dream come true for him.” Henry and her family were crossing their fingers for Canada in the relay, with the team currently ranked sixth in the world. “I know they do have great guys on the relay team,” said Henry of her son’s teammates Jared Connaughton of Char- lottetown, Edmonton’s Brian Barnett and Richard Adu-Bobie, of Ottawa. “The guys are very dedicated.” The Canadian relay team has experienced plenty of suc- cess entering the Beijing Olympics, having won a silver medal at the 2007 Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro. The qualifying rounds for the men’s 4-x-100-metre relay were scheduled for today at 8:20 p.m. (8:20 a.m. local time) with the final on Friday at 10:10 p.m. (10:10 a.m. local time).

The women’s softball team lost 5-3 to Australia and the men’s baseball team lost 6-5 to Chinese Taipei. By Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com BEIJING -- Canada’s bats finally came alive, but the pursuit of a medal is dead. The women’s softball team bowed out of the Olympic Games at the Fengtai Sports Center Softball Field on Wednesday afternoon, droppin- gaa 5-3 decision to Australia. The game pitted the third (Australia) and fourth (Canada) seeded teams, with the winner advanc- ing to a date with Japan, and at least a bronze medal, later in the afternoon. For a couple of GTA athletes, third baseman Erin McLean, 22, of Whitby and Newmarket pitch- er Robin Mackin, 21, the loss ended a dream of playing for a medal. “Right now, I’m just sad it’s over,” said McLean through tears. The game was knotted at three heading into the top of the sixth, but Australia pushed across a couple of runs with two outs. Danielle Stewart, who hit a solo home run in the fourth with two out, walked, advancing to third on a Belinda Wright single. After an intentional walk to Simmone Mor- row to load the bases, Kerry Wyborn lifted a single to left, scoring a pair. Canada did mange four hits and three runs on the day, something they had struggled with after jumping out to a 3-1 start in the tournament. The offence went dry and Canada dropped the next five games, despite hitting the ball hard Wednes- day. “It’s funny because as much as we were on their pitchers, they got that extra hop, that extra duck fart as we like to call them,” offered McLean. “That’s just been the way this tournament has gone for us. For me in particular.” McLean was hitless in three at bats, including grounding out in the second inning with the bases loaded. She finished the tournament with just one hit in 22 at bats. Though Mackin didn’t pitch in the semifinal, she was reliable when called upon. She finished the tournament with a 2.10 ERA in 6.2 innings of work, allowing eight hits and two earned runs, while striking out five. “I am just so proud of this team,” she said of the special bond. “Although we don’t have a medal to wear around our necks, when we go home, I don’t think anyone has any regrets and that’s the only thing you can ask for. “It’s going to be hard because we are all going our separate ways now, but everyone will have a piece of everyone with them for the rest of their lives.” Australia scratched out single runs in the sec- ond, third and fourth innings off Canadian start- er Lauren Bay-Regula, who was brilliant. She allowed just five hits while fanning nine. Canada scored its three runs in the third inning when Meghan Timpf, who played for a summer in Whitby back in 2003, walked with the bases load- ed, followed by a two-run single by Alison Brad- ley. “Being on the field with these girls the last four years has just been incredible,” said McLean. “We didn’t get the goal we wanted, but the whole jour- ney has been worthwhile, ” McLean said. BALLPLAYERS WATCH THEIR DREAMS DIE By Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com BEIJING -- The Olympics are over for Chris Begg, and the Uxbridge resident didn’t mince words when asked what he thought about base- ball’s exclusion from the 2012 Games in Lon- don. “I think it’s awful. I think it’s horrible,” he said on Wednesday night, minutes after the tourna- ment ended for Canada at the Beijing Wukesong Sports Center Baseball Field, dropping a 6-5 extra innings decision to Chinese Taipei. “I’ll probably be floating around town somewhere. You can catch me at Tim Hortons, or Zehrs, or Canadian Tire, or on a lake somewhere fishing.” -- Chris Begg, Uxbridge “I’m not going to name any sports in particular, but there is a lot of crap in the Olympics. Base- ball is becoming more world wide than a lot of things in there now.” This was the second time Begg has donned a Canadian uniform at the Summer Games, help- ing Canada to a fourth place finish four years ago in Athens. Things didn’t go as well from a team perspective this time, as Canada finished sixth with a 2-5 mark. But it should be noted that all five of the losses were by one run. “We expected to come in here and medal,” Begg said of the expectations. While Japan, the United States and Cuba were as strong as expected, the 28-year-old noted that nobody expected Korea and Chinese Taipei to be as strong as they were. “I think it was good for the game how close everybody was,” he said. On an individual level, Begg was outstand- ing in his two starts. He picked up the win in a 10-0 route of China in the opener, tossing 6 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and striking out nine. Against Japan, he went 5 1/3, dropping a 1-0 decision on a solo home run. His ERA was a miniscule 0.75, allowing 10 hits and striking out 14. “Personally, I have no regrets. I thought I threw well,” he said. The Olympics provided a positive for Begg, whose career has been put on hold after getting released from the San Francisco Giants orga- nization just prior to the Olympics. He is going to take a couple of weeks off now, then starting looking for work in winter ball, and line some- thing up for next season. He will be around town in the next few days, leaving Beijing on Aug. 24. “I’ll probably be floating around town some- where. You can catch me at Tim Hortons, or Zehrs, or Canadian Tire, or on a lake some- where fishing,” he joked.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 21, 2008 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com by Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com BEIJING -- How ironic that a former Canadian was responsible for denying Canada it’s first win in field hockey at the Olympic Games. Matt Daly’s goal with under five minutes to play on Sunday pulled his Great Britain team into a 1- 1 tie with Canada, which is how the game would end, leaving Canada at 0-3-1 in the tournament. It was the third goal of the Games for Daly, who lived in Uxbridge from 1985-91 while growing up. “I never really thought about it that way,” the 25- year-old said with a laugh when it was pointed out to him a former Canadian prevented Canada from earning a win. “I’ve actually got quite a good history against Canada scoring goals. A few years ago I scored a hat trick against them. “I have a reasonable record against them, so it’s quite nice and I can have a little smile about it.” Born in Saudi Arabia, Daly moved to Uxbridge because of his father’s work at the age of 20 months, laying down some roots until moving back to the UK at the age of eight. Field hockey wasn’t his first choice of recreation while in Uxbridge. “Believe it or not, I never picked a hockey stick up until I moved to the UK. I messed about with ice hockey and baseball,” he recalled. Too young to represent his country four years ago in Athens, the 6-foot-2 forward, who is training to be a teacher in Surbiton, London, is enjoying his first Olympics. “It’s absolutely amazing. It’s brilliant,” he said. “I mean, I never ever thought all those years ago I would be here.” “It’s special to score a goal. But to come to the Olympics, it’s the world stage and to do it, it’s pret- ty amazing.” metroland durham region media group gtaathletes.com Ron Pietroniro/ Metroland Matt Daly, a former Uxbridge resident and now a member of the Great Britain Olympic field hockey team, battles with Canada’s Wayne Fernandes.

SOUTH AFRICA 3 MCDONALD’S EMPLOYEE SERVING IT UP IN BEIJING BEIJING -- A lot of the athletes here at the Olympic Games struggle to put into perspective what the expe- rience is like. Add Anthony Barsanti to that growing list. Although not an athlete, at least not one scheduled to compete, he is representing Canada through an employee program offered by McDonald’s. The 33-year-old, who lives in Ajax but works out of the McDonald’s in Whitby, is in Beijing for the duration of the Olympics, working at the various locations. “Almost indescribable,” he says of the first few days in China. “It’s totally different than anything I’ve experi- enced with McDonald’s than before. “Unless you experience it, it’s hard to say it.” Barsanti is one of 1,400 McDonald’s employees working at the four outlets in the Olympic village. There are 900 staff from China, with the other 500 made up from 36 countries around the world. So far he has met workers from Australia, the U.S. and Argentina, with just enough English from everyone to get by. It’s not all work and no play. The other day he toured Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and he made it to the National Stadium to take in some track and field. If he can squeeze it in, a trip to watch some diving and rowing is also a priority. Olympic experience ‘indescribable’ Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Whitby McDonald’s manager and Ajax resident Anthony Barsanti is hard at work at the Main Press Centre’s McDonald’s location in Beijing.

Fact is, despite being halfway across the world here in Beijing, she really is right at home. The Whitby resident is in the friendly confines of Canada House, which is set up just a stone’s throw away from the National Stadium. It’s a wel- come haven for Canadian athletes and their fami- lies; a place where they can get together for some quiet time in a relaxed atmosphere. “We have been witness to families who haven’t seen their athletes for some period of time... When you see reunions like that, it’s like we are all part of the same family,” she says. The Durham Regional Police Staff Sergeant has been attending Olympics since 1980, choos- ing the boycotted Games in Moscow as her first real foray into the world of amateur athletics. She had just graduated from Paul Dwyer High School in Oshawa, and her love of sports and desire to witness an Olympics led her to Moscow. It was then that the plight of our national ath- letes really struck a chord with her. “That was when I first realized our amateur ath- letes, just the sacrifices that they make and work so hard for four years and then not be able to compete,” she recalls. She relates a story of attending the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, watching as Whitby’s own Anne Ottenbrite found her way to the medal podium. She was also in the aquatics centre when Sylvie Bernier won gold in diving. The ironic twist there is that four years ago in Athens, Moloney crossed paths with Bernier, who was the assistant chef de mission for Canada. Bernier is the chef de mis- sion for the Games here in Beijing. “I brought her a diving shirt from LA and cop- ies of the photos I had. She said ‘Yea, I don’t even have that one,’ so that was a really neat connec- tion,” Moloney says. She is part of a six person staff working at Can- ada House, filling the role of access officer for the Canadian Olympic Committee. Among the other volunteer staff working at the site are Canadian students who go to school in Beijing. “The whole thing of hanging out with Canadians in a foreign country,” is the highlight of her time here, she says. “I really grew to love the interaction with people from all over the world. That’s really where I grew to love going to Olympic Games.” Moloney right at home in Beijing DURHAM POLICE OFFICER VOLUNTEERING AT CANADA HOUSE TABIA CHARLES, PICKERING ATHLETICS: LONG JUMP Tabia won a bronze medal in the long jump at the 2008 Canadian Track and Field Champion- ships to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Why am I unaware of the problem? A. Hearing loss is invisible, almost painless, and it “sneaks” up on you. Most hearing losses gradually develop over a long period of time -25 to 40 years. By age 50 or 60, there can be enough deterioration to interfere with conversation in many places. Q. Can I wear hearing aids that don’t show? A. Yes. There are hearing devices that you will want to wear but not all hearing aids are equal. Best-in-class performance hearing aids have an upscale appearance ---small, stylish, ergonomically- shaped and virtually invisible to others. Some completely disappear into the ear while others have very tiny tubing, like a minuscule wire. Remember: A hearing loss is more visible than a hearing device. Q. Should I really get hearing aids? A. If you have a hearing loss, Yes, you should. Research has shown that clarity (understanding) can deteriorate if you do not get the appropriate amplifi cation devices. There are solutions today for people who don’t want to wear hearing aids. See one of us today. Written by Audiologist, Lila O’Neill, founder of the fi rst Audiology Clinics to dispense hearing aids in Durham Region: Ajax Pickering Audiology Clinic, Bayly Audiology Services, Whitby Hearing Centre. Q. Will I know if I cannot hear? A. Not necessarily. It is typical for a person with a mild to moderate hearing loss to be unaware of the hearing problem, even though family and friends are quite aware of it.

But we can all add more movement to our daily lives - even the smallest choices can add up to a big difference! 1. Put on a pedometer. 10,000 steps a day can improve your fi tness and make you feel better. 2. Driving somewhere? Park your car in the furthest possible spot from your destination. 3. Public transit gets you there - but it doesn’t have to take you all the way there. Get off a stop or two early and walk the rest of the way. 4. Having a meeting? Why not take it outside and walk while you talk? 5. Stay away from that e-mail; put down that phone. Walk down the hall to see your co-workers in person. 6. Take the stairs instead of the elevator up to your offi ce. 7. It’s coffee time - why not walk over to the coffee shop that’s a few blocks away? 8. Skip the pre-chopped stir fry veggies. Stand at the counter and chop them yourself. 9. It’s summer - so get out in the garden. Mow the lawn, rake the grass, prune and weed. 10.

The 130th CNE runs until Sept. 1 and both local ven- dors and Durham Tourism are participating this year. Uxbridge Regional Council- lor Jim McMillen is the cur- rent president of the CNE’s board of directors and has been involved with the ex- hibition for eight years. “I’m proud that Durham Region is participating in this phenomenal annual event,” he said. “It provides a great op- portunity to showcase agri- culture and tourism in Dur- ham Region, in addition to the milestones that we are celebrating this year.” Durham Tourism will highlight one of Uxbridge’s most famous residents, ‘Anne of Green Gables’ au- thor Lucy Maud Montgom- ery. They’ll be partnering with the Lucy Maud Mont- gomery Society of Ontario and participating in the 100 Years of Anne exhibit. The author wrote 11 of her 22 books at the Leask- dale Manse in Uxbridge, in- cluding ‘Anne of the Island’, the third novel in the Anne series. Visitors to the exhibit can enter to win a weekend in Durham Region prize pack. “By partnering with the Lucy Maud Montgom- ery Society, we are encour- aging individuals to come to Durham and discover the unique tourist opportuni- ties and experiences that we offer,” said tourism manager Kerri King. “We see these types of events as opportunities to continue to spread the word that Durham Region is all about good natured good times.” For more informa- tion on Durham Tourism, call 1-800-413-0017 or visit www.durhamtourism.ca.

About 40 players were split into two teams for the camp that goes through this week at the Ajax Community Centre. The club begins pre-season play in Kingston against the Voyageurs on Saturday afternoon. Once-floundering Attack set to attain new heights Ajax junior club’s GM predicts team to be in ‘top half of the standings’ By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The days of languishing at the bottom of the standings are over for the Ajax Attack. That prediction fell from the lips of Attack general manager John Tugnutt as the OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club opened its training camp at the Ajax Community Centre on Monday. After several years of plumbing the depths of the league standings, including finishing out of the playoff picture with a 12-34-3 mark last sea- son, Tugnutt decreed the Attack will make a bold move up the standings during the 2008-09 campaign. “We need to be competitive. Ajax has been at the bottom, but our mandate now is to win and we will. We will buy players or trade for them. We will get them however we can. We will be competitive, in the top half of the standings in our divi- sion.” And, Tugnutt swears it’s not idle chatter. Toward the stated goal of a com- petitive team, Attack management has brought in three U.S. players who’ll be counted on to fill up op- position nets. Ajax has brought aboard forwards Ilester Little from Dallas, Texas, Geoff Shewmake of Kenosha, Wisconsin and defenceman Max Antoine, a 6- foot, 5-inch defenceman from New Jersey. The club is also working on bringing aboard a Swedish forward, Adam Palme, for the season, but the process is being held up by Hockey Canada. “We have high expectations for them,” said Tugnutt. “They’re all high-end players. Our ultimate goal is to build a competitive team that will win, so we have to be open to taking players from all over.” Little, 19, is not unfamiliar with Canadian hockey, having played for St. Andrew’s College in Aurora for a year. He played for a Boston-area ju- nior squad after graduating from the Dallas-based Texoma Travel Hockey League. Although he admits Canadian ju- nior hockey may be more physical than what he’s used to, Little’s sure he can thrive in the league this sea- son. “I think I can play in this league, for sure. I’ve been working hard,” says Little, who played junior ‘B’ hockey with the Massachusetts Maple Leafs last season. Meanwhile, Shewmake pulled into Ajax after a long drive from Wisconsin that started at 3 a.m. on Monday morning. The 20-year-old forward was still a little bleary-eyed, but determined to make a good im- pression at the Attack camp. “I just want to get back on the ice and get into games again,” said Shewmake, who played for the Brad- ford Rattlers junior club last year. Shewmake, who played minor hockey with Wisconsin ‘AAA’, says he’s looking forward to better com- Attack Facts The Attack has completed a three-for-one trade with the neighbouring Pickering Pan- thers. The Attack sent forwards Andrew Fairney and Brandon Turner and defenceman Aaron En- gelage to the Panthers in exchange for rookie forward Blake Boddy. Boddy started last season for the Panthers before finishing the 2007-08 campaign with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ midgets...The Attack will travel to the Woodchuck Classic tour- nament in Burlington, Vermont for four days, beginning on Sept. 4. Eight Canadian junior squads will compete against eight U.S. junior teams. Teams from Atlanta, New Jersey and Ohio are expected to compete. More than 120 NHL and NCAA scouts will reportedly at- tend the Woodchuck Classic...Ca- nadian singer Michael Burgess will sing the national anthem at the Attack’s season opener against the Peterborough Stars on Sunday, Sept. 14... Blake Boddy ✦ See Ajax, Page 26 For new Ajax Attack captain, ‘C’ means competitive By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Newly minted Ajax At- tack team captain Chris Gour knows he’ll need to bring more than leader- ship to the ice this season. The second-year defenceman wants to lead the charge in push- ing the Attack to new heights in the standings, something previous ‘C’ wearers have been unable to achieve over the past several seasons. Gour assumed the captaincy this season after receiving a vote of confidence before the season by coaches and management. And, the 18-year-old Whitby resi- dent is more than pleased to take up the leadership reins. “I’m really excited about it,” says Gour, just prior to taking the ice for the first day of training camp at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre on Monday. “We have a good bunch of guys and ultimately I think we’re going to be a good hockey team.” New Attack head coach Carey Durant is definitely a Gour fan, not- ing his personality and leadership abilities made him the perfect can- didate. Moreover, the 6-foot, 1-inch, 185- pound defenceman received an in- vitation to the Ontario Hockey As- sociation evaluation camp in Rich- mond Hill Aug. 23 and 24. He’ll try out for ‘Team East’ at the camp that will determine the team’s roster for the World Junior ‘A’ Hockey Chal- lenge in Camrose, Alta. Nov. 1 to 9. “In Chris we have a kid who’s ob- viously a good player in the league and he has the personality that fits with what we need. He’s skilled — you don’t get an invite to the OHA camp unless you’re a national-cali- bre player. He handles himself and other kids on the team well,” said Durant. Gour’s excited at the prospect of playing in the championships. “It would be a real honour to play for that hockey team. It will be a good experience either way.” When the season’s over, he’s hop- ing to land a U.S. athletic scholarship toward earning a mechanical engi- neering degree.

Celebrates 35 Years of Satisfying Customers Four city players to compete for Whitby at Canadian novice girls’ championships in P.E.I. PICKERING — Four Pickering players are ready and able to help their Whitby Eagles novice girls’ fastball team win a na- tional title in P.E.I. next week. The local Eagles contingent of Megan Ferguson, Paige Haley, Kayleen Mertz and Asja Saito helped the Eagles capture silver at the 2008 Provincial Women’s Softball Association Grand Championships in Nap- anee this past weekend. The second-place finish in Napanee meant a trip to the 2008 Eastern Canadian Softball Championships in the island province. The Eagles, which entered the provincial down three play- ers, two due to injury, fell short in the gold-medal game against Brantford. Whitby earned a trip to the final after downing An- caster in the semifinal. Whitby progressed to the final of this 11-team tourna- ment with wins over Ancaster, Oakville, Napanee, and Ancast- er. The Eagles were supported by players Logan Byberg and Kayleen Mertz, who were un- able to play in the final game.

Attack head coach Carey Durant, back for his second go-round with the club, was also excited to get the new campaign underway. “I’m much more confident being back here the second time than the first time,” said Durant, who replaced Gord Fournier, who resigned just prior to the start of training camp. “The first time I walked into a situation I knew would be real tough. We have a bit of a foundation here now.” Training camp continues at the community centre until Thursday with more than 45 hopefuls on the ice. Of those 45, six players from last year’s Ajax-Pickering Raiders midg- et ‘AAA’ squad are attempting to earn a spot on the team. Included in that mix is none other than Ian Watters, son of rival Pickering Panthers’ gen- eral manager Gary Watters. Tugnutt says Watters simply wanted to play among friends from his former Raiders team, thus his decision to be in Ajax rather than Pickering. “The biggest determining factor was he wanted to play with his friends, the guys he’s played with the last couple of years,” said Tugnutt. The Attack play their pre- season opener in Kingston against the Voyageurs at Kingston’s Invista Centre on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ✦ Ajax from page 20 Adrien Veczan photo Bowled over PICKERING — A bowler sends one toward the wickets during a friendly cricket game at Alex Robertson Park in Pickering recently.
