She and her partner were cut from the show Wednesday night. Ajax dancer hustled off stage Jenna-Lynn Higgins eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance Canada BY STEFANIE SWINSON sswinson@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- In a dance cho- reographed by Benji Schwim- mer, Ajax dancer Jenna-Lynn Higgins and her partner Nico- las Begin did the hustle in a rou- tine set around what the end of the world would be like. For Ms. Higgins, 18, the end of her world happened Wednesday when, for the second week in a row, she was voted into the bottom three and had to dance for her life on the live results show of So You Think You Can Dance Canada. “Being in the bottom three was probably the scariest feeling I’ve ever gone through because I real- ly want this,” she said minutes after dancing in a taping for Tues- day night’s competition show, not knowing what the results would be for her this week. “I’m actually happy at the same time because I think Canada real- ly got to see who I was and I real- ly got to show my personality and everything through my dancing. I just hope I’m not in the bottom three again.” But the dancer, trained in ballet, lyrical and jazz at the Denise Les- ter Dance Academy in Pickering, was in the bottom three once again and was told by judge Jean Marc Genereux that she was going home. It was a shocking turn of events for the Pickering High School graduate because, after dancing the hustle, the pair heard such positive comments from the judg- es. “You are the most dynamic See RAVE page 5 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 20092 AP Sell your GOLD & SILVER Sept 11, 12 & 13 Friday, Saturday & Sunday 10:00am - 5:00pm Holiday Inn - Oshawa 1011 Bloor St., East (401 to Harmony Rd.)

Two LocationsOshawa & AjaxTwo LocationsOshawa & Ajax York has submitted plan to Province BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Pickering resi- dents are continuing their fight against an odour con- trol facility York Region wants to build near the city. York submitted the envi- ronmental assessment with the provincial Ministry of the Environment on Aug. 21. The facility is part of the ‘Big Pipe’, an expansion of the sewage system in York needed to accommodate future growth. York and Durham jointly own the Duffins Creek Water Pollu- tion Control Plant, in south Pickering, which the expan- sion would tie into. About a dozen residents turned out on Wednesday for a meeting of Durham council’s works committee to continue protesting the facility. York had originally wanted to build it on Altona Road, just south of the ham- let of Cherrywood West. Residents opposed that and Pickering and Durham councils both voted to have York move the facility. A site on the east side of the York-Durham townline, north of Taunton Road, was next proposed, but the facili- ty would still be in Pickering. Finally, York officials moved the location across the road to the opposite side of town- line. “Pickering will not be a willing host. This will be with us for 30 years,” Pickering resident Peter Rodriques said. “Until we’re convinced it will have no impact on Pickering residents, we’ll continue to oppose this,” Barb Findlay stated. Betty Burkholder said York has begun proceed- ings to expropriate land in Pickering needed for the facility. York officials told her last week they would be expro- priating a parcel of her prop- erty. She said the land would be “a fraction of an acre.” Wayne Green, the project manager from York Region, said a portion of 10 proper- ties in Pickering are needed for the facility, with six in York. “This process has been off track since day one,” Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson said. “It’s totally unacceptable. For us to sign off on anything is something I can’t support.” Devi Gopalan said, “Con- sultation is the corner- stone of the Environmental Assessment Act. We haven’t been involved. We haven’t been consulted. They’ve said ‘This is what will hap- pen. So sad, too bad.’” Ms. Gopalan noted she’s spoken with MOE officials and was told “if you want to take a time out, there’s no reason you can’t.” Coun. Johnson put for- ward a motion requesting a three-month “time-out” be taken by the MOE to expand the study area and possible effects the facility could have on residents. The motion was defeated. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he wouldn’t support the motion, say- ing it’s “just putting off somebody making a deci- sion. There’s not one thing we heard today we haven’t heard 68 times. “It’s not an easy decision, especially for councillors from Pickering. They’ve been through this dozens of times, literally dozens of times. Pickering councillors are supporting their resi- dents,” Mr. Anderson said. Pickering Councillor Bill McLean said, “What’s the rush? So what if it takes three more months? It’s transpar- ency.” Coun. Johnson said, “All I want to see is this work some place without odours. If you can show me, I’ll raise my hand (in support).” He visited facilities in Edmonton and Ottawa and there were odours in the neighbourhoods nearby. “It just doesn’t work any- where else. Three months isn’t a long time to wait,” Coun. Johnson said. “All I’ve heard from residents is it’s an insult where they put it. “All I’m asking is a little more time be spent. Prove to me it works and I can stand up in my community and be a leader,” Coun. Johnson said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 20093 AP We Speak Your Language....

ENVIRONMENT Pickering residents continue odour facility fight Trio sentenced for Bowmanville robbery BY JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- Three men responsible for a crime spree across southern Ontar- io, ending with a violent, bloody robbery at Hooper’s Jewellers in Bowmanville in March 2008, have been sen- tenced to a combined 26 years in prison. But, they aren’t alone in their incarceration, court heard as Hooper’s owners and staff read emotionally charged victim impact state- ments prior to the sentenc- ing. “I am imprisoned by my fear and lack of confidence,” Veronica Cupido said as she told court how the incident continues to impact her. Ms. Cupido, a goldsmith, suffered potentially career- ending injuries when one of the robbers slashed her hand. Even after surgery and countless hours of phys- iotherapy, she is unsure if she’ll ever return to her job. And, even if she’s physically able, the emotional turmoil of being slashed, then bound with duct tape at the back of the King Street store, has left her wondering if she’ll ever return to some semblance of a normal life. “I am, slash, was, a gold- smith,” she said in a strong though sometimes shaky voice. “My hands are my job.” But now, even leaving her home is difficult. “I fear for my life every sec- ond, every minute, that I’m not home,” she said, remem- bering that on the day of the robbery, “I was overpowered and outnumbered. They took so much from me that day.” Court heard that on the day of the robbery, the three men -- Gary Blazeiko, Charles Potts and Michael Young -- walked into the store, purportedly looking for an engagement ring for one of the men’s girlfriends. But when Carrie Hooper reached into a jewelry case for a ring, one man jumped the counter. She was told to get down or she would be killed. Dan Hooper attempted to fend off at least one of the robbers and had a grandfa- ther clock pushed at him. He pushed it back, then began throwing display cases at the man. Ms. Cupido went to the back of the store in an effort to secure customers’ belong- ings. It was then that she was attacked. The robbery was inter- rupted by Ron Hooper, who walked into the maelstrom to hear his brother, Dan, yell, “call 911. We’re being robbed.” In a bizarre twist, one of the knife-weilding robbers chased Ron Hooper out the door and down King Street. Citizens took up the chase and Mr. Potts and Mr. Young were taken into cus- tody. Mr. Blazeiko remained on the lam for about two months. Dan Hooper suffered a torn Achille’s tendon in the incident and, during treat- ment, endured potentially life-threatening side effects, including blood clots in his lungs and internal bleed- ing. He’s largely recovered physically, but said in his victim impact statement he remains “haunt(ed) by the screams from the girls.” Ron Hooper said he, too, continues to deal with the effects of the attack. “Every day, when I enter the store, I relive the experi- ence of that day,” he said. “I still find myself waking up to cold sweats.” For their roles in the Hoop- er’s robbery and several oth- ers across southern Ontario in the weeks leading up to it, Mr. Blazeiko, 33, and Mr. Potts, 25, received a sentence of 10 years each. Mr. Young, 35, was sentenced to a total of six years. The sentences are to be served in a federal penitentiary. But, because each was credited with the time they served prior to trial, at a rate of two-days-for-one, the actual sentences are much less: Mr. Blazeiko and Mr. Potts are each sentenced to just over seven years, while Mr. Young received an actu- al sentence of just over three years. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 20094 AP 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 *On selective fl oor models Styles and covers may not be exactly as shown www.furnituregalleries.ca OSHAWA OSHAWA SHOP EARLY FOR BEST SELECTIONS!!

The judges also touched on the fact that the dancing duo was more connected and focused. Ms. Higgins broke down on the stage after hearing she was eliminated and her partner Mr. Begin was axed on the guys’ side. She said she was more angry than upset at the judges’ deci- sions. “I was more pissed off just because I thought Nicolas and I did really well with our routine this week.” She said she calmed down after the show enough to real- ize her career isn’t over just because her time on the show is. “I’m only 18 so I know I have a huge future ahead of me.” She plans to start audition- ing and attending dance work- shops right away. “I really want to get out there, get my name out there,” she said. “This was such a great opportunity for me.” She said she understands the show is based on voting by the public to keep the dancers in the competition. “It’s the votes. Canada didn’t vote. So there is nothing I can do about it.” Ms. Higgins said she isn’t sure what the future might hold for her dance career but she’s open to anything. Her mom, Laurie Higgins, said she wouldn’t be surprised if she headed south to Los Angeles. “We (her family) would stay here,” she laughed. “Jenna-Lynn wouldn’t want us to go with her. She will be successful. She can do anything she puts her mind to. She is young and spunky and is a real force to be reckoned with.” WATCH the video story DANCE Rave reviews from judges didn’t translate into votes You are the most dynamic female dancer in the competition.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions CRIME ‘Little Paolo grew up in heaven’ To the editor: Re: Marco Trotta guilty of manslaughter, Sept. 4. Thank you for your extensive coverage and commentary over the years regarding this horrific story. Anyone reading how Marco Trotta beat his infant son, Paolo, to death would feel revulsion and contempt. It is inconceivable that a parent could do this to his own baby and that a mother could go back with the killer of her son. Little Paolo grew up in heaven but his brief life on earth was a living hell. His father only served nine years in prison and his mother only three. Once again our justice system resulted in violent offenders being released too soon, but that is another topic. You spoke well for little Paolo. Chris Topple Oshawa FREE SPEECH Young people need to see all sides of the picture To the editor: Re: Free Speech and Not fair to children, Aug. 26. The writers of these letters make excellent points regarding the use of “shock” pictures and the wisdom of exposing young chil- dren to “disturbing images.” Our children are exposed to shocking and disturbing images (and sounds) constantly -- on television, in books, movies, video games, music, etc. It’s unfair to castigate one very tiny group (abor- tion protesters) who care deeply for human rights while ignoring the vast entertainment and marketing industries who use the same tactics without regard for their victims. Many schools have “no contact” policies preventing children from showing physical affection. Yet in these same schools the stu- dents are taught how to use condoms, engage in sexual activity, and are shown other types of “disturbing images” -- often at very young ages as well. The entertainment industry and the schools teach our children the lie that being sexually promiscuous is normal, even glam- orous. Those same young people experience unwanted pregnancies, and see abortion as a solution. While the sentiments expressed by Mr. Heisman and Ms. Tunney resonate with me, it seems unfair that people who are trying to help solve this problem be attacked for using the same tactics as those who contribute to it. Fr. Bohdan Hladio Oshawa INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS Second-hand smoke bothers apartment dweller To the editor: I am an apartment dweller who does not smoke, but am subjected to second-hand smoke on a daily basis. Although I realize that this is an age where all individuals have personal liberty, it seems disgusting that per- sonal liberty is extended to those who wish to “smoke up” recreational drugs. I called the police and was advised that only if such a distasteful individual permits the police to enter their residence, and that the illegal item (marijuana) is in plain sight, can any legal action be taken. I was advised to con- tact my building superintendent, who was thoroughly unhelpful. It seems that no one wants to stop second-hand smoke bother- ing the non-smokers, in illegal form or oth- erwise. “What goes on behind closed doors is no one else’s business”. Is the same to be said of abuse towards a child? A woman? I would dare to put on the same playing field physical abuse and second-hand smoke causing the ill health effect bronchitis from which I now suffer. Sarah Fraser-Scotland Oshawa The people have spoken: no reason to go to the polls The politicians may decide they want a federal election, but based on a local unsci- entific poll we here at Metroland Durham Region Media Group have conducted, there is no stomach for one among the public. With 427 votes tallied as of Thursday morn- ing, fully 79 per cent of poll respondents said they did not believe a federal election was necessary at this particular time. When nearly four out of five people don’t think it’s necessary to hold an election, that’s rea- son enough to call off the vote. But there are plenty more reasons where that came from. 1. Election fatigue. It’s been just 11 months since voters were forced to head to the polls and four of the five national parties -- while the Bloc Quebecois takes part in national debates it runs candidates only in Quebec -- still have their leaders in place. What sig- nificantly different messages are the par- ties going to be able to deliver to voters? It’s not as though the parties are going to have brand new platforms and a sea of new can- didates. For the most part, it’s going to seem like the same old faces running in the same old places. With, more than likely, the same old results. 2. The costs. With the price of federal elec- tions totalling close to $300 million apiece, the money would be far better spent on any number of other projects. Surely the gov- ernment could put the funding into, say, its revamped employment insurance program. Or, with the economy still struggling as we attempt to climb out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, that cash would be useful in a stimulus program. Anywhere but stuck in another election. 3. The likely outcome. With the vote split five ways, electors dissatisfied with leaders and their parties across the country, the odds are better than even we’ll be right back where we started when all the votes are counted on election day. It hardly makes sense to put the country through its fourth federal election in just over five years, merely to wind up with another minority government. All we would be doing then would be setting the stage for more speculation about when the next elec- tion would be, how soon the next leadership races would be, etc. The last thing any of the politicians would bother with, would be get- ting down to the very serious business of law- making and governing this country. 4. New programs and announcements. With the feds announcing new spending on infrastructure programs in local communi- ties and rolling out a revamped employment insurance program, the time to get down to business is now. People want politicians to get back to work after taking the summer off, not hit the hustings. With economic uncertainty, climate change, Afghanistan, worries about H1N1, concerns about our long-term energy future, surely there is enough to worry about with- out an election. It’s time for all parties to get down to governing for at least the next year. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 20096 P Paralympic dressage gold medalist a guest at fundraiser ASHBURN -- A Paralympic gold medalist will be one of several guests at a fund- raising event for a Durham organization this month.

Non-Toxic Planning committee sends report back to staff PICKERING -- After a debate on possible future uses and heights on property on Pickering Park- way Tuesday, council chose to delay a decision. Owners of land on the north- east corner of Glenanna Road and Pickering Parkway, and own- ers of the land southeast of the intersection of Pickering Parkway and Valley Farm Road, applied for a zoning bylaw amendment from the City. The owners want the bylaw to broaden the range of commercial uses (currently busi- nesses and professional offices, convenience stores, and profes- sional service shops are allowed), and add nursing homes, retire- ment homes and apartments as permitted uses. They also wanted to increase the permitted height from six to eight storeys on the lands. “I have no problem with this usage as long as its not a strip- mall plaza on this corner,” said Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell. She then asked that the bylaw stipulate a minimum of four storeys be allowed. But Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson thought eight would be a better number. Mayor Dave Ryan argued that while he agrees with intensifi- cation, making such strict rules may slow down future develop- ment, and by passing such an amendment early on “I think we’re doing ourselves a disser- vice.” Coun. Dickerson argued it would simply set some limita- tions and noted it seemed realis- tic based on the property owners’ request. “If eight storeys isn’t what’s wanted, then why is it being requested?” he said. The item was referred back to staff for more information and it will come back to committee at a future date. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 20099 P !WARDS 2 E A D E R S #H OICE )TS 9/52 TIME TO 3().% .OMINATION CUT OFF IS 3EPT AT MIDNIGHT ./-).!4% ./7 WWWREADERSCHOICEDURHAMCOM #ALL EXT .OMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE "USINESS TODAY AT COUNCIL Debate on building heights, uses in Pickering I have no problem with this usage as long as its not a strip-mall plaza on this corner.

The Durham Region Anti-Violence Inter- vention Strategy (DRAVIS) team conducted special patrols in target neighbourhoods in Ajax and Pickering Thursday through Sun- day evening and arrested 40 people. In total, police laid 62 charges, issued 77 Provincial Offence tickets and officers completed 72 street checks on people located in the tar- geted zones. DRAVIS is funded by the Min- istry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. It’s an intelligence-led strategy aim- ing to reduce violence and increase commu- nity safety.

The evening features police and military pipes and drum bands from across the country, along with police demonstrations, “wrapped up in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the OPP,” he said. Tattoos, not to be confused with skin art, “comes from the Dutch term doe den tap toe which literally means ‘turn off the taps’,” reads the OPP’s 100th anniversary website, www.opp100.ca. “It dates from the seventeenth century when the Brit- ish Army were fighting in (Belgium and The Netherlands). Drummers from the garrison were sent out into the towns ... each evening to inform the soldiers that it was time to return to barracks.” The term was eventually shortened to tattoo. “Over the years, the process became more of a show and often included the playing of the first post at (9:30 p.m.) and the last post at (10 p.m.) Bands and displays were included and shows were often conducted under floodlight or searchlight.” The event will provide an oppor- tunity for OPP officers and the pub- lic to reflect on the police force’s past and look ahead to the future, said the commissioner. The tattoo is not an usual under- taking of the OPP, said the commis- sioner, who called it a “signature” event. The GM Centre is located at 99 Athol St. E. in Oshawa. General admission tickets to the tattoo are $10 each, according to www.gen- eralmotorscentre.com, where tick- ets can be ordered. Tickets are also available at 1-877-436-8811.

Jenny Blondin, 43, is a nurse in the neo- natal intensive care unit at North York Gen- eral Hospital and was recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. She’s seeking help in Tel Aviv, Israel. In fact, she and her husband just returned from there where she had bone marrow stem cells taken from her hip. Over the next couple of months, they will grow up to 50 million new stem cells and she’ll return to have them injected into her spine. “Some very promising results have been reported, with varying degrees of improve- ment in symptoms,” said her friend Katja Laverty in an e-mail. Since the treatment is expensive, friends, family and colleagues have decided to host the Friends of Jenny Fundraiser Golf Tour- nament at Mill Run Golf Club in Uxbridge on Sunday, Sept. 20. The group is looking for individuals or local businesses to sponsor a hole for $200. Nearly 150 golfers are expected to attend the event. Sponsor signage will be placed at each hole and sponsor information will be handed out upon registration.

BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- This fall, the Durham Rape Crisis Centre will be expanding its programs for young women, offering counselling on campus at Durham College and UOIT once a week, and hiring a new counsellor to work specifically with girls ages 12 to 15. The new offerings, say centre staff, are both a good thing -- because younger vic- tims will get more help -- and a frustrat- ing thing, because they drive home the fact sexual violence isn’t going away and that it affects women of all ages and backgrounds. “We get a lot of calls from young women,” said Lynn Cohen, who does counselling and public education for the centre. “A lot of them feel like they’re invincible, that sexual assault is something that happens to some- one else. That’s why it’s so important to raise awareness.” One of the centre’s biggest awareness- raising opportunities is coming up on Sept. 17, when hundreds of people will march through downtown Oshawa as part of Dur- ham’s 17th annual Take Back the Night Walk. The event aims to empower women and raise awareness of violence against women and children. The crisis centre organizes the walk with the support of YWCA Durham and Y’s Wish Shelter, drawing hundreds of walkers rang- ing from mothers and grandmothers, to politicians and business owners. In recent years, men have also been invit- ed to participate in what is traditionally a women-only event. Durham became one of the first communities in the area to include men. “We get really good feedback about that. There are women who appreciate the men in their lives being able to support them at this kind of event,” Ms. Cohen said. “And, there are men who genuinely don’t believe in violence against women and want to actively stand up against it.” Despite events like Take Back the Night, the number of people seeking help from the Rape Crisis Centre is up this year. Ms. Cohen said the statistics can be dis- couraging, but stressed events like the walk help the community come together and talk about ways to make women safer and remind people that they should step up to the plate and act if they see a woman being hurt. “Something like this is probably not going to change the mind of someone who thinks it’s OK to hurt women,” she said. “But, it can change the way women think, it can empower them to learn how to protect themselves and what to do if something happens to them.” In addition to the walk itself, this year’s Take Back the Night features food, commu- nity displays, live entertainment and two guest speakers who are sexual assault sur- vivors. It all gets underway at 6 p.m. on Sept. 17 at the Ontario Early Years Centre, 1 McGrigor St. in Oshawa. Take a flashlight or buy a glow ball for a minimum donation of $4.50.

ART EXHIBIT Michael Jack exhibition in Pickering PICKERING -- Michael Jack taught art for more than two decades, but says he learned a lot more about it after retir- ing. The Whitby artist’s works are on display at the Ontario Power Generation Information Centre in Pickering through Oct. 19. “I believe I’ve learned more about art in retirement than in 22 years of teaching in the school systems,” he says in a press release. “I called that time ‘putting out grass fires’ and realiz- ing the wishes of superintendents.” Jack works in acrylic, watercolour and “in a pencil/varsol approach.” He’s also interested in printmaking and ani- mation. He’s started a new series of works called the Teacher Creatures in collabo- ration with First Nations peoples and it features all of the animals from the med- icine wheel. He obtained permission to do the series, which will be housed in a meeting lodge north of Bancroft. The OPG Information Centre is at 1675 Montgomery Park Rd. at the foot of Brock Road. It’s open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. THEATRE A Spirit Walk back for a 15th year BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Voices from Pick- ering’s past come alive this month as Backwoods Players presents A Spirit Walk. Now in its 14th year, it’s the story of Pickering’s earliest days and what led to the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, in which local residents played a prominent role. Director John Edmonds says the audience hears the settlers becoming “more and more angry about the Family Compact and what was happening in Upper Canada. “These people, these simple, reg- ular hard-working people that just tried to survive, by 1837 it was time to rebel,” he says. The Family Compact, made up of a few wealthy families, ran the gov- ernment and favoured the Anglican Church and business interests over those of farmers. Edmonds says what amounted to a blatant land grab, in which those who had not come to Canada to clear their land immediately after the American Revolution were deemed not to be the owners, even if they had been on it for years, fuelled the anger. Ultimately, on Dec. 7 the main rebel forces marched down Yonge Street but were dispersed by the local militia in a short skirmish at Montgomery’s Tavern. Militarily, the rebellion was a fail- ure. But it created such a stir in Eng- land, still smarting over the loss of the American colonies and fearing a repeat scenario in Canada, that steps were taken to understand why it had occurred and, ultimate- ly, to address long-time grievances. “History is written by the win- ners,” Edmonds points out. “They don’t mention that by 1850/60 Lord Durham and Lord Dufferin had come in and created responsi- ble government, which we still use today.” Brougham’s Peter Matthews was one of the rebel leaders and, of the several hundred arrested during the following winter, one of only two men publicly hanged for trea- son. Edmonds notes there were only about 100 families in Pickering Township at the time of the rebel- lion and to get 60 men to make the two-day march to Toronto was extraordinary. Some of their ances- tors remain in Pickering to this day and people are still discovering that they have family links to one of the rebels. In 2011, Backwoods Players is planning a special performance evening just for descendant fam- ilies and special guests to cele- brate Pickering’s bicentennial. It’s searching far and wide for descen- dants and asks anybody who can to help make a connection. This year’s A Spirit Walk features a few new parts and 74 cast and crew members, including 62 char- acters, 54 of them historically doc- umented. Cast and crew members are from all over Durham. It is performed Sept. 18, 25 and 26 at Pickering Museum Village. It’s in Greenwood, three kilometres east of Brock Road and just west of Westney Road on Hwy. 7. Tickets are $15. For more information and tick- ets, visit www.cityofpickering.com/ museum or call the museum at 905-683-8401.

McDougall brings the Arctic to Durham Artist’s paintings from far north on display in Whitby BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Most of us will never visit Canada’s north and have an image of a white, frozen waste- land, devoid of colour and not very interesting. Sarah A. McDougall has been there a few times and will tell you otherwise. “There are so many different hues and colours,” says the Whitby artist. “There’s a lot more colour up there than people think.” She is showing her arctic art in an exhibition at Whitby’s Station Gallery from Sept. 12 to Oct. 25. Sarah McDougall Squared is aptly named as it also features the work of local photographer Sarah M. McDougall, showing at the same time. Sarah A. McDougall just returned from a two-week trip to Greenland and Ellesmere Island, which she described as “excel- lent” but “way too short.” Last September she was on another northern trip and she has also vis- ited the Pond Inlet area of Nuna- vut. It’s fair to say she’s fascinated with the region. “I’m trying to portray through my art the waters of the area and the serenity that’s out there and the beauty,” McDougall says. “But See NORTH on page 18 it’s very difficult to depict in art.” In a treeless environment, she notes, there are no trees for scale and our per- ception of distances can be deceiving. She recalls saying to a guide that they should go check out an iceberg that seemed a short jaunt away, but was told it was a two-hour trip to get there. McDougall says she and her art have been forever changed by her experienc- es of the north. Getting outside of the urban area into the wilderness, she says, the experience of open, empty space is unforgettable, the opposite of what one is generally surrounded by in our noisy and technology-laden world. McDougall defi- nitely prefers the former. “When I went up north I felt that all of a sudden, because it impacted me so much, that I was painting with much more emo- tion than before,” she says. “All of a sudden the art had more mean- ing for me.” She returned from that first trip and began working on a series of waterco- lours, landscape paintings of icebergs and cliffs. McDougall says she was so inspired, “it was like a big frenzy to get everything painted.” She describes herself as “a detail person” but experimented by keeping things a little simpler, less defined, letting the mind of the viewer fill in the details. Works from her second trip were done in oil and she could see for herself how the sea ice had already melted and how much the glaciers had receded. The north is a fragile place, where the effects of global warming are being noticed and keenly felt by the Inuit. “There’s glaciers that are thousands and thousands of years old, they’re not com- ing back... they’re done. They’re lost for- ever,” she says. “I’m just trying to raise a little awareness, not that I’m trying to preach to anyone.” McDougall teaches art full time and is already champing at the bit to paint what she recently saw, especially since she found Greenland “highly different” from Nunavut. There’s an opening reception and Art- ist Walk and Talk for Sarah McDougall Squared on Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. and a Cura- tor’s Walk and Talk on Sept. 24 and Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. See Sarah A.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Whitby artist Sarah A. McDougall is showing her work at Whitby’s Station Gallery from Sept. 12 to Oct. 25. North made McDougall ‘paint with much more emotion than before’ NORTH from page 17 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 200919 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com Four power-play goals result in 6-4 victory for Ajax over Pickering BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The coach who won was going to take some positives away from the game, realizing there is a lot of work ahead. The coach who lost felt his team could have just as easily won. Those were the thoughts of Ajax Attack head coach Carey Durant and his counterpart with the Pickering Panthers, Bill Brady, fol- lowing Wednesday’s season open- er for both clubs in the Central Canadian Hockey League. Four power-play goals and solid goaltending lifted Ajax to a 6-4 victory over Pickering at the Ajax Community Centre. While the play at times illustrat- ed it was just the first game of the year, with some breakdowns and miscues by both sides, Durant was pleased to get that first win out of the way. “To me, as bad a game as it was, I am going to try to take all the posi- tives,” he said, listing the first junior goal for 15-year-old Jake Bannister, the solid play of goaltender Adam Stein, who faced 41 shots, and beating a close rival as highlights. “Our team has had a lot of pres- sure on us the last couple of years where we really haven’t been a top team. Last year we had the best season ever and I think people may be trying to see whether we were just a fluke last year or wheth- er we are going to be for real again this year.” Ajax built a 4-2 lead after 20 min- utes, and was up 5-2 after the sec- ond period, despite getting out- played in the middle frame, out- shot 20-7 by Pickering. “I think we let one slip away,” said Brady of the missed opportu- nity to start the season with a win. “I thought we had some chances and didn’t capitalize. “You go into the second period down 4-2 and we dominate. We easily could have been up 5-4 in the first three or four minutes. We missed some breakaways, we hit some posts and we just didn’t bear down in front of the net.” Pickering rallied back in the third, scoring shorthanded just 3:15 in, and then added another with 12:45 to go while enjoying a two- man advantage to pull to within one. But Ajax tallied on the power play with 4:26 to go, their fourth of the night with the man advantage, nursing a two goal cushion the rest of the way. The one element both coaches agreed on after was that it’s going to take time to get to the level of play they desire. “We only had three exhibition games, so it’s going to take another three to five to get some continu- ity, until we get used to each other, figure out right from wrong, so it’s going to take a little bit of time,” noted Brady. “I think it’s going to take us 10 games to really start to show the defence the way we like to play defence,” said Durant. “Our team (Wednesday) was horrible defen- sively. We didn’t do our jobs and it really showed.” THE SCOOP -- Jonny Simone scored twice for Ajax, while Jordan Reed scored once and added three helpers. Also scoring were Jake Ban- nister, Greg Waller and Blake Boddy... Pickering got a pair of goals from Andrew Howes, and one each from Cole Watkins and Kyle Ramsay... It’s a busy stretch this weekend for Pickering, who travel to Lindsay on Friday, host Markham on Sunday at 6:30 p.m., then end with a trip to Cobourg on Monday...

TRACK AND FIELD Teens medal at Legion finals Rayann Chin and Brandon Nunes de Souza reach the podium QUEBEC -- Two Pickering teens successfully represent- ed Ontario at the Royal Cana- dian Legion National Youth Track and Field Champion- ships, recently held at the University of Sherbrooke, in Quebec. Rayann Chin and Bran- don Nunes de Souza, both students at Dunbarton High School in Pickering, were among 40 athletes from Ontario who travelled to Quebec to compete against athletes from across Cana- da. The teens were selected based on their performanc- es at a regional meet held in Belleville, and subsequently at the Ontario Champion- ships held in Hamilton. As a result, Rayann Chin won the Ontario championship (girls 17 and under) in the shot put and discus events, and Bran- don Nunes de Souza won the Ontario championship (boys 15 and under) in the 800m and 1500m events. All the provinces sent strong teams to Sherbrooke with BC, Alberta and Quebec providing the stiffest compe- tition to Ontario. In her divi- sion, Chin had to compete against teens one year older SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Rayann Chin won silver in the shot put and Brandon Nunes de Souza won gold in the 800m and silver in the 4x400m at the Royal Canadian Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships, held at the University of Sherbrooke, in Quebec. 100M HURDLES Felicien to run in World Athletics Finals and won silver in the shot put and took 4th place in the discus, an event she had won at the 2008 National Cham- pionships as a 15 year old. In the boys 15 and under 1500m, Nunes de Souza had his worst race of the season as he came a disappointing 6th place in 4:18, running nine seconds slower than his personal best. However, he soon overcame that dis- appointment and won gold in the 800m in 1:59.5, and anchored the 4x400m relay team to a silver in an exciting race. The National Youth Cham- pionships were sponsored by The Royal Canadian Legion and the athletes had opportunities to meet veter- ans and to learn about their experiences in the Second World War and their sacri- fices in defending Canada. Both athletes have indi- cated that the competition and their one-week stay in Quebec was an unforgetta- ble experience, not only for representing Ontario, but for the friendships and knowl- edge gained during the peri- od. They both look forward to competing in Ottawa next year. DURHAM -- Pickering’s Perdita Felicien and Whit- by’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep are two of seven Canadians who have qualified to com- pete in the World Athletics Final track and field cham- pionships taking place this weekend in Thessaloniki, Greece. Athletes earn points by competing in World Ath- letics Tour events through- out the season with the top seven per event qualify- ing for the World Final (for races of 1500 metres and higher, 11 athletes quali- fy). At their discretion, the IAAF invites the 8th (and 12th) athletes to round out the fields. For 2009 Canadian hur- dles champion Felicien, this will be her fourth appear- ance at the World Athletics Final. Her best finish was bronze in 2006. Felicien was a finalist at this year’s World Championships. Lopes-Schliep, a sil- ver medallist at the 2009 World Championships and bronze medal winner at the 2008 Olympics, will take the stage looking to capture the Canadian record from Felicien. Last weekend Lopes-Schliep bettered her own personal best running 12.49 (the Canadian record stands at 12.46). In Tour standings Lopes-Schliep is tied for first with World Championship gold medal- ist Brigitte Foster-Hylton of Jamaica. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 11, 200921 FREEFREE ADMISSION, ADMISSION, PARKING, SH U T TLE PARKING, SH U T T L E SERVICE & SERVICE & LIVE LIVE NONSTOP NONSTOP ENTERTAINMENT ENTERTAINM E N T Lakeview Park ~ Oshawa, September 11th, 12th & 13th Friday ~ 12 Noon to Midnight Saturday ~ 11:00 a.m. to Midnight Sunday ~ 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ❖ Armstrong Funeral Home Ltd. ❖ BMO Bank of Montreal ❖ Franklin Tint ❖ Waste Management ❖ Great Clips ❖ Durham Regional Police Association ❖ Great Blue Heron Charity Casino ❖ Long & McQuade ❖ Skyfox Games ❖ Hooters Whitby ❖ Owasco RV Centre ❖ C.J.
