PICKERING -- New education opportunities
will be available in Pickering in the fall of 2012
through a new partnership between Durham
and Centennial colleges.
The new Pickering Learning Centre will offer
graduate certificates and continuing educa-
tion programs to students throughout Durham
Region and beyond. The facility, which will be
located in the new office complex adjacent to
the Pickering Town Centre, will be linked to
public transit by a pedestrian bridge, currently
under construction, spanning Hwy. 401.
“About three years ago we started on the
journey to build this facility,” said Pickering
Mayor Dave Ryan at an event to announce the
new learning centre on Monday, June 20.
“We have this wonderful new pedestrian
bridge, which has been coined ‘the bridge to
our future.’ And now here we are with that first
step in our future. This is the first learning cen-
tre in our community and it’s a truly momen-
tous occasion.”

Fires in seasonal homes
spark concern
PICKERING -- Fire officials are urging
residents to make sure they have working
smoke alarms in all homes, even if those
buildings aren’t meant for year-round
occupancy.
In the past two weeks two men have
died after separate trailer
fires in Ontar-
io. Investiga-
tors from
the Fire
Marshal’s
office have
since con-
firmed that
no working
smoke alarms
were recovered
from either trailer.
Fires in seasonal homes can spread
incredibly fast, and as a result Pickering
Fire Services is reminding residents that
they are required by law to have working
smoke alarms in trailers, motor homes
and other recreational vehicles. In addi-
tion, vehicles or boats used for sleeping
should also be equipped with a carbon
monoxide alarm.
“The Ontario Fire Code requires every
dwelling unit in Ontario to have working
smoke alarms on every storey and out-
side all sleeping areas,” said Pickering
Fire Chief Bill Douglas.
“What many people may not know is
that the term dwelling unit includes sea-
sonal homes such as park model trail-
ers, cabins and cottages and may include
trailer homes, motor homes and other
recreational vehicles.”
While new trailer and RV models may
already meet a construction standard
requiring working smoke alarms, older
models may not be equipped with any
or alarms may not have been properly
maintained.
Smoke alarms should be tested before
sleeping in any seasonal homes and then
monthly and after any absence of more
than a few days.
Smoke alarms that are more than 10
years old should be replaced.
“Smoke alarms can alert you and give
you and your family the precious time
needed to safely escape a fire,” said Chief
Douglas. “Install smoke and carbon
monoxide alarms in any structure where
people may be sleeping or living.”
Failure to comply with Fire Code smoke
alarm requirements can result in a $235
ticket or fines of up to $100,000.

Canada Day quiz
DURHAM -- Canada turns 144 a week from today.
And while we all know our country is big and beau-
tiful, how well do we know its history?
Roderick Benns, our friend at Fireside Publishing
House in Whitby, knows his stuff. So here’s a Cana-
da Day Quiz he made up for us. Check out how well
you did when we print the answers on Canada Day in
next Friday’s paper.
1) Known as ‘the greatest land geographer who ever
lived’ this Canadian (1784-1850) mapped 3.9 million
square kilometres of North America. Was it Meri-
wether Lewis, David Thompson, Alexander Macken-
zie or Lester Pearson?
2) What was John A. Macdonald’s middle name?
3) When Canada became a country in 1867, it was
comprised of only four provinces. Name them.
4) What province became the fifth to join Canada?
5) Who was Canada’s longest-serving prime min-
ister? John A. Macdonald, Wilfrid Laurier, William
Lyon Mackenzie King or Pierre Trudeau?
6) One Canadian prime minister is not buried in
Canada. Is it Alexander Mackenzie, Wilfrid Laurier,
Robert Borden or Richard Bennett?
7) One of the greatest victories of the First World War
was won by Canada, occurring in 1917, the first time
the Canadian Corps fought together. Was it the Battle
of Ortona, Battle of the Somme, Battle of Passchen-
daele or Battle of Vimy Ridge?
8) All of the following were Canadian inventions
except one. Which one is not Canadian -- the zipper,
the game of basketball, Q-tips or the paint roller?
9) How many prime ministers has Canada had -- 18,
20, 22 or 25?
10) Have there been more Conservative or Liberal
prime ministers?
Roderick Benns is the owner of Fireside Publishing House in Whitby,
creators of the Leaders and Legacies series on Canada’s Prime
Ministers as teens. Visit firesidepublishinghouse.com for more
information.
So you think you’re
Canadian, eh?

approaches to the bridge, built in 1929,
were washed out by Hurricane Hazel in

LINDSAY -- Kawartha Lakes Police have
confirmed that five people, including a
Bowmanville woman, were arrested dur-
ing the execution of a search warrant on
Georgian Street in Lindsay June 22, in
which a Peterborough police constable
was shot multiple times.
It’s also reported that a man killed
inside the residence was identified as a
21-year-old Durham Region man.
Police say all but one of the people
arrested were released unconditionally
pending further investigation, but Jenni-
fer Nicholson, 39, of Bowmanville, faces
one charge of breach of recognizance
and is scheduled to appear in Lindsay
court June 23.
Few details about the investigation have
been released, but the Province’s Special
Investigations Unit has confirmed a man
was shot and killed at the home, located
at 31 Georgian St.
Constable Keith Calderwood, 37, was
taken to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toron-
to.
At a press conference held by Kawartha
Lakes Police Chief John Hagarty and
Peterborough-Lakefield Police Chief
Murray Rood in Lindsay, Chief Rodd said
Const. Calderwood was conscious and
talking when he was being transported
to Toronto.
“He was in good spirits and he was cer-
tainly relieved to see his wife before he
got on that helicopter,” he said of the
father of three.
His condition is listed as stable and he
is expected to recover.
Const. Calderwood has been with the
Peterborough-Lakefield police force
since 2004. He has been actively involved
in the community.

Stolen bike ruins
single mother’s plans
To the editor:
To the people who stole my bike at 6:25
p.m. Friday, June 17.
I hope you are proud. You see, I just pur-
chased myself my very own bike, with a
child’s trailer, about a month ago. I was
very proud. It was mine, but my two-year-
old daughter and six-year-old son enjoyed
our bike rides together.
Not only that, this was my primary mode
of transportation.
As a single mother, funds are tight
but I made this purchase know-
ing it would improve our summer.
We had already started our summer by
exploring all the wonderful trails Ajax has
to offer.
My plans were to take my children to
every park in Ajax throughout the sum-
mer. In the end I really hope you needed it
more than I did. I hope you know you have
crushed my spirit.
But you will not win.
I will bounce back from this but you get
to look at yourself every day in the mirror
and you do know what you have done, and
know that you stole from someone who
needed the bike.
We will enjoy every moment of this sum-
mer.

Columm needs
clarification
To the editor:
Re: Neil Crone's column 'My kind of Rap-
ture happens with a beautiful day,' dur-
hamregion.com June 3, 2011.
I appreciate good humour (even if it is
couched in sensationalism) as much as
anyone, but there is also truth.
Neil's column needs clarification, espe-
cially what the new birth (born-again)
is, what mainstream Christians actually
believe about the Rapture (i.e. no date set-
ting), what the Bible actually teaches and
that there are several views of the Rapture,
which takes place in the context of Christ's
return.
I (and many others) believe that if some-
one is going to write on religious events or
issues, he or she should at least check out
the background of Harold Camping (who
determined the ‘date’ of the Rapture) and
tried to understand where he stands in
terms of mainstream Christianity.
I (and others) would appreciate an
opportunity to reply.

Federal budget cutting
important social spending
To the editor:
Re: ‘Same old prudent budget, new major-
ity government’, editorial, June 8, 2011.
Unfortunately, the Harper budget is far
from prudent.
Over four years there is $11 billion in
cuts, on top of $10 billion in previously
announced cuts.
Twenty-one billion dollars is not com-
petent fiscal management, it’s hacking the
economy with a butcher knife.
This is not the “waste” or “fat” they like to
talk about, but important social spending
that helps people in need, like job training
or safety regulations.
If Mr. Harper and Mr. Flaherty really
want ed to balance the federal budget, they
could have started by cancelling their cor-
porate tax cuts.
The right-wing Fraser Institute consis-
tently rates Canada as one of the top 10
most business-friendly countries in the
world, so raising the rate several points will
hardly imperil our growth.

The time has come for learning centre in Pickering
The Pickering Learning Centre will be a
welcome addition to the City, providing a
range of educational opportunities to those
who live here and beyond.
For years, Pickering has been surrounded
by higher-learning facilities: to the west is
the Scarborough Campus of the University
of Toronto and Centennial College. To the
east is Durham College and the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology.
And while they aren’t that far away from
Pickering, and local residents attend all
four, if you’re a university or college student
with a lot of studying to do and perhaps a
part-time job, if you don’t have a car, travel
time on public transit can take a fair chunk
of your valuable day.
The Pickering Learning Centre opens in
the fall of 2012, a partnership between Dur-
ham and Centennial colleges. It will offer
full- and part-time programming where stu-
dents can pursue graduate studies, enhance
their skills or gain additional training. It’s a
great mix of opportunities provided, given
our slow recovery from the economic reces-
sion, with jobs hard to come by and work-
ers, many of them experienced, looking
for opportunities to train. Besides that,
Pickering residents are among the best-
educated in the region, and the opportu-
nities the centre will provide takes this into
account. And the centre’s location is an ideal
one for students: it will be in the new office
complex near the Pickering Town Centre,
linked to public transit by the pedestrian
bridge currently under construction. As a
result, the centre should become an attrac-
tive option for students beyond Pickering’s
borders, who will be able to easily access it.
Mayor Dave Ryan, speaking of the centre
when it was announced on Monday, noted
it was a “momentous occasion” as the cen-
tre is the City’s first learning centre.
And both he and Durham College presi-
dent Don Lovisa suggested the centre might
be the beginning of something even bigger,
given the tens of thousands of people who
will call the Seaton development home.
Mayor Ryan said, “we believe this is the first
step to having a full-blown post-secondary
campus in the city.” And, in fact, there is a
property in the Seaton lands earmarked
for post-secondary, with Mr. Lovisa stating
“several partners are currently having con-
versations about what might be possible
there.”
The Pickering Learning Centre is an excel-
lent birthday present for the City in its bicen-
tennial year. It’s definitely the time for such
a facility here.

DURHAM -- An environmental organiza-
tion is offering to do free assessments of
wells.
The 2011 Well Aware program is a con-
fidential and non-regulatory service
offered to well owners by Durham Sus-
tain Ability.
It’s offered for educational reasons, to
help residents identify risks and direct
them to solutions.
During a home visit, the homeowner
will be given tips on caring for a well and
septic system.
“There are approximately 750,000 pri-
vate wells in Ontario serving the water
needs of a quarter of the population and
nearly 16,000 wells here in Durham,”
Shawna Mutton, executive director of
DSA, says in a press release. “Ensuring
these wells are thoroughly inspected,
maintained and tested is vital in provid-
ing safe and healthy water to well own-
ers. We are doing our part to ensure Dur-
ham residents are provided with good
education and information to properly
take care of their wells.”
In the past three years, 230 well owners
in Durham have taken advantage of the
service.
Space is limited and anyone interested
should book an appointment soon.
Call DSA at 905-427-0061 for more
information or to set up an appoint-
ment.

AP Public-private partnerships prove popular
By DaviD Fleischer
anD nicole visscheDyk
newsroom@durhamregion.com
If Ontario was your house, it would be on
the verge of falling apart. The roof needs
reshingling, the electrical system is ailing
and the furnace is on its last legs. Forget
about the fact the bathroom hasn’t been
redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken loans
and are maxing out credit cards to pay
for just part of what needs to be done. A
Metroland Special Report shows that’s the
situation for Ontario municipalities as
they struggle to fix our crumbling infra-
structure - the roads, buildings, water and
sewer systems that underpin our daily life.
Third in a three-part series.
ONTARIO -- They’re known as public-pri-
vate partnerships, or alternate financing
arrangements, or by the acronym P3s.
They have become popular tools in the
limited range of options available to gov-
ernments trying to find money to repair or
renew the crumbling roads, public buildings
and other infrastructure that underpin our
communities.
Residents of many communities will
already be familiar with the concept through
the new hospitals, courthouses and other
public facilities for which the Crown agency
Infrastructure Ontario is responsible.
A $335-million courthouse in Durham
Region that opened in 2009 was the first proj-
ect to go through Ontario’s new alternate
financing program.
Infrastructure Ontario’s projects now
include hospitals, the eastern extension of
Hwy. 407, the modernization of Ontario Pro-
vincial Police facilities and highway service
centres across the province.
But a move is on to increase access to pub-
lic-private partnerships as municipalities try
to cope with the enormous burden of fund-
ing infrastructure, a job that has already put
many of them into debt.
York Region, for example, in search of
new ways to fund transit, has formally asked
Metrolinx (the regional transportation
authority) to look at alternate funding sourc-
es for municipal transit systems.
The Province is scheduled to soon make
public its long-term, 10-year plan for infra-
structure funding, and while Infrastruc-
ture Minister Bob Chiarelli declined to dis-
close details, he said one element will be an
expanded role for Infrastructure Ontario,
which was created six years ago.
P3s are not uniformly popular, generat-
ing criticism from opposition politicians and
groups such as the Canadian Union of Pub-
lic Employees, in part because the Canadian
approach to most public facilities and servic-
es has been to keep the entire process public,
or as much of it as possible.
Critics found fuel in an Ontario Auditor
General’s report that concluded in 2008 that
$200 million could have been saved if the
Province had done the borrowing itself on
the new Brampton Civic Hospital.
But Mark Romoff, chief executive officer
of The Canadian Council for Public-Private
Partnerships, disagrees.
“You need to follow the program from
beginning to end and you’ll see the strong,
successful P3 program does deliver value for
money,” he said.
Partnerships have evolved from their
beginnings in the early 1990s and are now
being used in more sectors at more levels of
government, Mr. Romoff said.
A recent Edmonton breakfast brought
out 370 attendees to hear how P3s can help
municipalities, he said, a sign of increased
interest at the cash-strapped municipal
level.
“When you’re looking to move the infra-
structure needle ... if there’s an infrastruc-
ture gap and a fiscal challenge, the P3 model
could be worth looking at,” Mr. Romoff said,
acknowledging the partnerships are not a sil-
ver bullet for every project.
John Loxley, a University of Manitoba eco-
nomics professor who studies and writes
about P3s, evaluated prominent projects
including Hwy. 407, the controversial toll
highway built in a private-public partnership
and now owned privately. He believes the
highway was a “poor deal for Ontario taxpay-
ers.
“You need (infrastructure), but it’s got to
be done right,” he said. “You don’t get some-
thing for nothing.”
But public-private partnerships are not
the only potential options available to help
municipalities solve the funding puzzle.
Solutions popular in other jurisdictions are
being looked at as well, including new mod-
els that would apportion a certain percent-
age of income tax or a percentage of sales tax
such as the HST for infrastructure.
The push for alternative financing is driven
by the realization that municipalities sim-
ply cannot hold the fort much longer. From
1955 to 2007, the federal share of public infra-
structure fell from 27 per cent to five per cent
while the municipal share increased from 27
per cent to 55 per cent, according to a 2008
report.
Earlier this month, the mayors of Canada’s
largest cities agreed at a meeting in Hali-
fax that municipalities must watch the new
majority government of Stephen Harper to
ensure there is a change.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair-
man of a big-city caucus in the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities, said he hopes
municipal leaders and the Tories can develop
a far-reaching infrastructure plan that won’t
drop in priority as the new government tries
to cut costs.
After the federation issued a report on
the national infrastructure deficit in 2007
-- when, it calculated, the gap for Canadi-
an municipalities alone was $123 billion --
Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP
Jim Flaherty countered that municipalities
should take care of themselves and that Otta-
wa was “not in the pothole business.”
The attitude changed as the recession
took hold and the federal government took
into account the jobs that could be created
through infrastructure projects. However,
as the infrastructure deficit grows and the
economy resumes, the traditional equation
is back in force.
The federation points out that 92 per cent of
a Canadian’s tax dollar goes to the two upper
levels of government, but municipalities are
responsible for more than half the existing
infrastructure -- and have to do whatever
jobs are passed to them -- with the remaining
eight per cent.
inFrastructure ontario
It is an arm’s-length Crown agency that manages
public projects and arranges funding that includes
private sources for infrastructure ranging from
courthouses to sewer systems.
It also provides municipalities and other pub-
lic bodies with access to affordable loans for new
buildings and renewal.
The agency has not issued an annual report
since the 2008-09 fiscal year, so it is difficult to
track projects and loans on paper.
However, the Province says that since 2005,
the agency has managed 52 infrastructure proj-
ects worth $21 billion, including 35 hospital proj-
ects and approved more than $4 billion in loans for
more than 1,000 projects.
Major projects include:
Facilities for the Pan Am Games, including Hamil-
ton’s soccer stadium

Lawn arden
Advertising FeatureG&Home,
1. Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it
for nutrient recycling.
2. Over–seed patchy areas in difficult spots.
3. In heavy traffic areas replace grass with mulch or paving stones.
4. Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused
by small animals digging for insects.
5. Set your mower so that your grass is 7 to 8 cm high; this encourages deeper roots and
helps fend off weeds.
6. Water infrequently, but when you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the
soil (about 1.5 centimetres) to promote deep roots. Over–watering starves the soil of
oxygen and invites disease. TIP: Apply at least 2.5 centimetres of water. Put a container
on your lawn to measure how much you've watered. An empty tuna can is about the
right height.
7. Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to prevent problems.
8. If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure to pick one suitable for
your pest problem and follow all the instructions on the label.
9. Aerate compacted soil in the fall: this helps oxygen, water and nutrients reach roots.

Don Lovisa, president of Durham Col-
lege, credits the creation of the facility to
Mayor Ryan’s persistence in promoting
the community as an ideal place for post-
secondary education.
“When I first started at Durham College,
I think it was only hours after my feet hit
the ground that I first got a call from Mayor
Ryan saying ‘what about Pickering?’” Mr.
Lovisa recalls.
“When we looked at the region it made
sense, and this new building provided an
opportunity that wasn’t here before. As
we looked at the population of Pickering,
which has one of the highest percentages
of graduates in the region, that really pro-
vided us with an opportunity to do some-
thing different in terms of offering gradu-
ate and continuing education programs.”
A first for Durham College, the facil-
ity will offer full and part-time program-
ming where students can pursue gradu-
ate studies, enhance skills or gain addi-
tional training.
“This facility really gives us the chance
to offer great learning opportunities,
which can really change the economic
environment of a city,” said Ann Buller,
president and CEO of Toronto’s Centen-
nial College.
“Those who already have great careers
can come back and retrain or those who
want to buff up their skills can do that too.
We’re looking forward to meeting our first
students next year.”
Mayor Ryan also hinted that the learn-
ing centre could be a sign of things to
come for the community,
“We believe this is the first step to having
a full-blown post-secondary campus in
the city,” he explained, noting it would be
much-needed due to continuing growth
in the community, including the planned
Seaton neighbourhood development.
“We are going to be the largest munici-
pality in Durham, and this is an opportu-
nity for us to meet the needs of a growing
population.”
Mr. Lovisa also acknowledged that
the centre could lead the way to further
expansion, including possible under-
graduate study opportunities.
“There is a parcel of land reserved in
the Seaton lands for post-secondary and
several partners are currently having con-
versations about what might be possible
there,” he said, noting that expansion of
programming at the new facility would
also be a possibility.
“We see this as an opportunity for us
to learn about Pickering and understand
what the community needs. This is real-
ly a wonderful way to start, it’s great for
us. We are a growth college and this helps
us continue to meet the demand of all the
people who want to go to college.”

PICKERING from page 1
Birds will be collected
and relocated from
Frenchman’s Bay
PICKERING -- Many of Pickering’s Canada
geese will soon have a new home as part
of a relocation program run by the Toronto
Region Conservation Authority.
Beginning the week of June 27, geese will
be collected from areas around French-
man’s Bay while they are molting and
therefore unable to fly away. Round-ups
are normally done early in the morning
when there are fewer people around in
order to reduce stress to the birds. Col-
lected geese are put into pens, banded and
transported to approved host locations
using a climate-controlled transport trail-
er.
“Many municipalities have conduct-
ed relocations over the past six years and
TRCA has been performing Canada goose
relocation programs with the Canadian
Wildlife Service for a number of years,”
said Danny Moro, project manager for the
TRCA.
“There is no guarantee that the relocat-
ed geese will not fly back; data shows that
15 per cent of the relocated birds return to
area.”
Since 2004, Pickering has undertaken a
number of programs to reduce the impact
of large geese populations on green spac-
es, especially around the waterfront. The
City has been participating in the TRCA
round-up program since 2008.
“By oiling eggs, using dogs and birds of
prey to scare geese, planting vegetation in
strategic locations, erecting fences, post-
ing educational signs about not feeding
geese, distributing educational brochures,
and experimenting with grape seed extract
spray, the City has minimized the impact,”
said Michelle Pearce, co-ordinator of envi-
ronmental awareness programs for the
City.

DURHAM -- Songwriters are com-
ing to the lake this weekend.
Following up on the success of
the Songwriters Music Festival
earlier this year, Whitby singer/
songwriter Ron Beer has orga-
nized the free Songwriters at
the Waterfront Concert Series.
A variety of local performers are
playing in Ajax and Whitby, start-
ing this Sunday.
When he put out a call for audi-
tions, Beer says there was an
excellent response. But there’s
still time to be a part of the series.
After this weekend’s opening
concerts, there are shows July 17
and Aug. 14 at both venues.
“We’re looking for more artists;
we’re looking for more singer/
songwriters,” Beer says.
Interested musicians are invit-
ed to e-mail him at youngsong-
writers@rogers.com.
The first concerts are June 26
from 1 to 3 p.m. and occur simul-
taneously at Port Whitby (at the
pier at Rotary Sunrise Park) and
at Ajax’s Rotary Park (near the
Rotary Pavilion).
Each venue is hosting six musi-
cians who hail from across south
Durham. At the Whitby con-
cert, Roy Smith (Bowmanville),
Ed Babut (Oshawa), Ray Smith
(Oshawa), Rebecca McKin-
non (Whitby), Claudia Pelletier
(Oshawa) and Eric Kristensen
(Courtice) are performing. In
Ajax, catch Barbara Lynn Doran
(Whitby), Cole Hermer (Ajax),
GT Harris (Oshawa), Kimberly
Clarke (Oshawa), Hallie Anthony
(Ajax) and Ron Beer (Whitby).
After the Songwriters Music
Festival at Whitby Courthouse
Theatre, the Town of Whitby
allowed Beer to use the Brock
Street Activity Centre to hold
meetings of songwriters. He audi-
tioned for the waterfront con-
certs and says songwriters kept
showing up. Beer pitched the
idea to Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins
and when he was walking along
the Whitby waterfront with his
wife, he noted that it would make
a great venue.
Beer says the musicians range
from blues to country to soul and
pop artists. Learn more at www.
songwritersmusicfestival.com.

Track
It’s all in the family for Sharpes
Track success filters
down from mom and dad
to twin daughters
Brad kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- If genetics account for any-
thing, there is no way to predict the unlim-
ited potential of the Sharpe twins.
The offspring of a couple of nation-
al level athletes, Sommer and Taylor are
beginning to make a name for themselves
on the track after returning home with
medals from the OFSAA high school pro-
vincial track-and-field championships in
Sudbury. That may not come as much of a
surprise, considering their dad, Tony, won
a bronze medal for Canada at the 1984
Olympic Games in Los Angeles as a mem-
ber of the men’s 4x100m relay team, and
their mom, Colene, represented Canada at
the international level as well.
Now the parents are sharing their knowl-
edge and experience with their daughters
at the Speed Academy.
“It does pose its challenges,” chuckles
Tony of the dynamic of being an Olympian
who coaches his own kids. “A lot of times
they treat you as dad and don’t necessarily
react to your instructions.
“I’ve had Taylor say, ‘No, I’m not doing
that’. And I said, ‘OK, I have another 20
kids here and I don’t have time to take you
on’. I’m very lenient with them in terms of
the work. My daughters are very social. So,
for them, it’s all about who is going to be
at practice versus what is going to actually
happen when they get there.”
Colene, a former sprinter who spends a lot
of time coaching the girls in the club, says
initially her daughters had little interest in
track, and were brought to practice just to
get out of the house.
“They were pests initially,” she recalls.
“We told the other kids, ‘Don’t talk to the
Sharpe kids because they are distracting’.
“It’s a really tough dynamic to coach your
own kids. It’s extremely difficult because
you can only push so far and they only lis-
ten to you so much.”
Now that the twins are putting more into
the training sessions, they are seeing the
results. The message is getting through.
Taylor won gold in the 400m, ran the
anchor leg of the gold medal-winning
4x100m relay team at St. Mary, and earned
bronze in the 200m. She also qualified for
the 100m, but passed on the event because
it would have been too busy.
She says she has benefitted from having
an Olympic medallist coach her, even if it’s
dad.
“I think it’s pretty awesome,” says the
14-year-old Grade 9 student. “People
come from all over to be trained by my dad
and I have him everyday. It’s awesome to
be able to say that my dad won a bronze
medal at the Olympics. I know a lot of peo-
ple can’t say that. He’s also a role model
for me.”
Sommer, who ran the second leg of the
relay team that won gold, echoes those
same sentiments.
“I like my dad being the coach because
even when I go home he tells me what I
can improve on,” she says.
As for the level her dad reached, “We’re
kind of used to it. Other people usually
take it as more of a big deal than we do. I
still think it’s pretty cool. I admire him. I
think what he did was amazing and I look
up to him for that.”
Tony says his approach with his daugh-
ters is the same with any of the other ath-
letes in the stable -- that they have to have
fun and like what they are doing.
“I don’t think it’s about trying to reach
any standards that I have achieved,” he
says.
Both girls are hoping to pursue athletics
and academics down the road by obtain-
ing scholarships to an NCAA school. Their
brother, Mitchell, who is a year older, is
a premiere soccer player, who has some
potential in track but shies away from the
sport at this point, says Colene.
Proud parents, with reason to be.
Ironheads face tall order in first round of playoffs
Brad kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Any time a seventh seed faces a
second seed in the opening round of play-
offs, it’s a tall order for the underdog to pre-
vail.
Take into account that in this situation,
the second seed just happens to be the
defending Founders Cup national Jr. B
lacrosse champion Halton Hills Bulldogs,
and you begin to realize the uphill battle
the Ajax-based Ironheads are facing when
the best-of-five series kicks off Saturday in
Halton Hills at 7:30 p.m.
While the Ironheads have made it into
the playoffs a number of times during head
coach Ron Reed’s tenure behind the bench,
they have yet to win an opening round
series. Things won’t be any easier this time
around.
“Because we’re seeded so low, we always
end up playing one of the top two teams in
the league, the Green Gaels or Halton Hills
or someone of that calibre,” said Reed. “We
put ourselves in this hole by some of the
mistakes we’ve made throughout the year.
“It’s going to be up to us to dig ourselves
out of it.”
The Ironheads enter the post-season in
a bit of a funk, having lost their past seven
games in a row to close out the season,
including an 11-5 loss to Halton Hills on
Tuesday night at the Ajax Community Cen-
tre. The loss left the Ironheads with a 9-11
record after jumping out to a 9-4 start.
“Some of those were our own doing,” said
Reed of the losing streak. “Some of those
games we were in and some of them we
just didn’t play 60 minutes. That’s been our
dilemma from the beginning of the year.
“Hopefully going into the playoffs we can
play our game, play five-on-five, and we
should be competitive.”
The Ironheads were down 4-0 against
Halton Hills before Tuesday’s game was
eight minutes old and couldn’t recover,
trailing 4-2 after the first period and 7-4
heading into the third. They also gave up
four in a row in the opening 10 minutes of
the third to fall behind 11-4.
Brock Levick had a goal and assist, finish-
ing the season as the top point producer
for the Ironheads with 33-38-71 numbers
in 20 games. Michael Hart, Adam Zulak,
Gage Board and Tyler Roche had the other
goals for the Ironheads.
Game 2 of the series is Tuesday at the Ajax
Community Centre at 8 p.m., with Game 3
Thursday in Halton Hills at 8 p.m. If need-
ed, Game 4 will be back in Ajax Saturday,
July 2 at 7 p.m. Details for Game 5 were still
being worked out at press time.

WORLD YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS
Best gets a mulligan on the track
Sprinter heading
to France from
July 6-10
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- It’s a term more
commonly associated with
golf, but Wesley Best is hop-
ing the IAAF World Youth
Track-and-Field Champi-
onships will serve as a mul-
ligan for him.
Back in March, the 16-year-
old sprinter ventured to an
indoor meet in New York,
where he stepped into the
starting blocks against a
higher level of competition
in the 60-metre run. It didn’t
turn out too well.
“I had the mindset and I
was ready to run, but once
I got into the blocks, it was
new people, new environ-
ment, your perspective of
things changes your race.
I lost focus and was over-
whelmed by everything,”
says the Grade 11 student at
J. Clarke Richardson.
He is hoping to take that
experience and learn from
it this time around for the
100m and 200m races he has
qualified for in Lille, France.
The championships will be
held from July 6-10.
“You just have to run
your race. You shouldn’t be
focusing on the people next
to you,” he says. “They’re
focused on their race and
aren’t worried about you.
You just have to do your own
thing.”
Best has the proper mind-
set this time around, looking
to run a personal best and
not worrying about finishing
in the medals. That’s exactly
the kind of attitude that his
coach at the Speed Acade-
my, Tony Sharpe, wants him
to take.
“The first time you get to
something on the interna-
tional level you are real-
ly there for the experience
of the event,” says Sharpe,
whose experience run-
ning for Canada included
a bronze medal at the 1984
Olympic Games in Los
Angeles as a member of the
men’s 4x100m relay team.
“The intention is to go
there and be the best you can
be and not set too high of an
expectation. If he goes there
and runs his best, in terms of
time, we’d be ecstatic with
that.”
Sharpe adds that Best
qualifying for the world
youth championships is a
direct result of his work ethic
and attitude in training ses-
sions.
There is a cost associat-
ed with making the trip for
Best, who is responsible for
coming up with $2,000 to
cover expenses. His club has
set up a trust account to help
alleviate the cost. Donations
can be made at any BMO
branch, with cheques made
payable to either ‘Brian
Rodrigues in trust for Wesley
Best’ or ‘Connie Ono in trust
for Wesley Best’. The bank
transit number is 29972-001
and the bank account num-
ber is 8989-175.
SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
AJAX -- Wesley Best will be representing Canada in
the 100m and 200m at the 2011 IAAF World Youth
Championships in France July 6-10.PICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE The summer is finally here and it’s time to
soak up the rays! It’s nice to not have to worry
about salt and slush making a mess of your car,
and this is the perfect time to let your vehicle
shine!
Diamond Shine offers a package that
fits every budget, from a hand wash starting at
just $19.95 to complete detailing. The vehicle is
hand washed, using high quality soap, and hand
dried with a chamois to achieve a brilliant shine.
The difference can be seen in the details!
Summer is also the perfect time to come in
for a professional wax and polish. The wax will
protect your vehicle from the elements, including
harmful UV rays and acid rain. After a visit to
Diamond Shine, your vehicle will have a long
lasting shine!
The products they use also make a
noticeable difference in the appearance and
maintenance of your vehicle. Diamond Shine
only uses high quality, professional products that
are not available over the counter. Here, they
use silicone-based products that last, and even six
months after cleaning, a simple wipe of the dash
with a towel can bring back the shine!
It’s called detailing for a reason. At
Diamond Shine, their showroom package
leaves no small space untouched. To achieve a
showroom look, they use toothbrushes and Q-Tips
to get to the hard to reach areas. They only use
the best products, to ensure superior results.
Interiors are vacuumed, shampooed and
detailed. Don’t let dog hairs and spilled drinks
spoil the interior of your vehicle! Bring it in to
Diamond Shine to be cleaned and have your
upholstery protected to keep it looking great all
summer long.
“We all work hard to afford our vehicles,
so it’s worth the small investment to maintain
them and keep them looking great,” says Joanne
Elawar of Diamond Shine. “We want to thank
everyone for putting their trust in us for the past
16 years, including both our loyal customers and
the many dealers in the area.”
Diamond Shine is a family owned and
operated business that has been serving the
Durham Region since 1994. Diamond Shine
is located at 221 Westney Rd. S., in Ajax (just
north of Bayly and directly across from the Super
8 Motel). For more information or to book an

Boxing
Cook ready to step back into the ring for second pro fight
AJAX -- Brandon Cook of
the Motor City Boxing Club
is about to hit the ring for
his second career pro bout.
The Ajax native will take
on Hungarian fighter Rich-
ard Hajdu as part of a Fri-
day Night at the Fights
card at the Hershey Centre
in Mississauga, the same
venue in which he made
his professional debut back
in February.
In that bout against Mon-
treal’s Francis Lafreniere,
Cook was awarded a split
decision and will be look-
ing to add another win to
his resume.
Cook’s first fight came as
a middleweight, but he has
since dropped weight for
this bout and will compete
as a light-middleweight.
His opponent, making
the long trek from Hun-
gary, is equally motivated
to come out strong. Hajdu
(1-1-1) is hoping to bounce
back from his first loss at
the hands of undefeated
fighter Ferenc Hafner (7-0,
5 KO’s).
With so much on the
line for both fighters, this
should provide fans with
plenty to cheer about.
Another Motor City prod-
uct, Whitby’s Phil Rose,
is also fighting in Missis-
sauga, up against Horace
Hunter of Toronto in the
super middleweight divi-
sion.
Rose (2-1, 2 KO’s) is look-
ing to rebound following
a shocking loss in his last
fight to Julius Bunda back
in February.
Hunter will pose a stiff
test, however. He is com-
ing of a win over Ahmad
Selemani in Quebec a few
weeks back.

McColm returns to Mosport
BOWMANVILLE -- Oshawa’s David
Thorndyke and Ajax’s Joey McColm will
be competing at their home track in the
NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Vortex
Brake Pads 200 at Mosport International
Raceway on Sunday.
McColm is a NASCAR Canadian Tire
Series veteran at the tender age of 25,
having been with the series since its
inception in 2007. This will be his first
race of 2011, but he’s hopeful to run a few
more races this season.
“I love racing at Mosport,” said McCo-
lm, who will be driving the #50 Race
Time Radio Dodge Avenger. “It’s truly a
driver’s track. It’s like a roller coaster out
there and it’s so much fun to drive on.
Being a local racer, it’s an added bonus
because I consider it my home track and
I am proud to compete here.”
McColm has been noted as one of the
more personable drivers in the series and
can often be seen signing autographs and
interacting with fans.
Off-track the 25 year old recently grad-
uated with a degree in civil engineering
from Ryerson University and is involved
in several charities, including Earth Day
Canada.

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-fi lled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the master plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
