Heritage homes will be looked
at for possible third-party leases
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- City staff will be documenting proper-
ties of heritage interest on the Pickering airport lands
with the aim of encouraging private parties to take over
the buildings.
The City had previously requested funding from
Transport Canada to conduct full heritage surveys of 17
properties included in a list of future demolitions, esti-
mated at $50,000 to $70,000, but was denied. The list
was included in a March 22 letter from Chuck Strahl,
minister of transport, infrastructure and communities,
which offered to help the City salvage properties with
heritage merit by leasing them back to the City for non-
residential purposes. The city would be responsible for
costs regarding repairs, maintenance and liability for
third-party occupants.
Councillor Peter Rodrigues notes that leasing is not
ideal since the City would be on the hook for thousands
in needed repairs necessitated by the long vacancy and
lack of maintenance on many of the homes.
“If they had been maintaining these properties then
yes, maybe the City could have taken over, but we can’t
make up for 10-plus years of neglect,” he said.
“It’s quite shocking and appalling what they’ve done.
There was no reason for them not to take care of these
properties. We have a budget, we can’t just spend extra
money out of nowhere. The problem we’re running
into here is timing in that we need more time to make
a plan, and finances. We think the federal government
should be responsible for these costs. It’s basically give
us your junk and make us pay for it.”
The City has already incurred $27,000 in costs to con-
duct detailed heritage surveys on nine other properties
that were included in an earlier demolition list from
August 2010. Of those properties seven were consid-
ered to have heritage significance and the City is cur-
rently deciding how to proceed. Mr. Strahl gave the City
a deadline of Thursday, Sept. 15 to decide whether it
would lease the properties in question.
On Monday, July 11 council received a report from
Neil Carroll, director of planning, recommending that
the City move forward with cataloguing the 17 remain-
ing properties, investigate and potentially implement a
program to assist with private acquisition of the prop-
erties and request that items and materials be salvaged
from the properties before demolition.
“The City has limited options given the minister’s
response,” the report read.
“The City does not have the financial resources to
complete heritage assessments for all 17 structures of
heritage interest within Transport Canada’s time lines.
The City also does not have the financial resources to
lease all of the significant heritage structures for non-
feDeral lanDs
Pickering to document heritage sites slated for demolition
residential uses indefinitely.”
One of the main tenets of the report recommends that the
City help to attract and secure private interest partners to take
over some of the properties. As part of a proposed partnership
with Transport Canada, the City would advertise the properties
and act as liaison between potential purchasers and Transport
Canada in the hopes that private parties may purchase and
move the homes.
Councillor David Pickles, the local councillor for the area,
calls the strategy a last-ditch attempt to address the situation.
The report also highlights the harsh impact on the commu-
nity of Brougham, where a total of 26 currently vacant address-
es, representing about 37 per cent of the remaining buildings in
the community, are slated for demolition.
“It’s a community that’s dying,” Coun. Pickles said, calling the
government’s lack of maintenance in the area and demolition
schedule a program of depopulation. “I get the sense from peo-
ple that the terms of leases are becoming more unreasonable
and restricting.”
Coun. Rodrigues agrees, likening Brougham to a “ghost
t o w n ”.
“They’re really turning the community into a ghost town. It’s
a total devastation of our community and our culture. Picker-
ing’s not in a great position right now because we need more
time and more money and without those things, what can we
do? It’s an awkward situation.”
Council voted unanimously to approve the report’s recom-
mendations.

Picnic in Centennial Park
marks milestone
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The bocce balls were roll-
ing and the horseshoes were flying during
a picnic hosted by the Pickering Ajax Italian
Social Club.
Based out of Centennial Park, the group
hosted a community picnic on Sunday, July
10 to celebrate its 19-year anniversary.
“For me it means a lot for us to represent
the Italian community in Pickering,” said
John Conte, president of the club.
“For us it’s simple, it’s not a big thing
but we usually
host about one
event a month
and do things
such as the
Seniors’ Games,
which encour-
ages seniors in
Durham to get
out and have
some fun. The
club is really
about bringing
the communi-
ty together and
getting people
out and having
fun.”
Coun-
cillor David
Pickles praised the group for its positive
relationship with the city and the work it’s
done to improve Centennial Park.
“The club has been very helpful at getting
washrooms in here and also created the
bocce courts and horseshoe pits,” he said.
“They do a lot of work in the park and
make very good use of it. It’s a really good
club for getting people out and is very
inclusive, you see people here from the
young to the young at heart. It’s a partner-
ship that’s worked really well between the
City, the club and the Province. Everyone
here is having a great time and the club is
great at getting families out who bring their
young ones and you don’t see that a lot, so
it’s a great partnership and a great use of
the park.”
Tony Conti, who was one of the three
founding members who created the club in
1992, says the purpose of the group was just
to inspire community involvement.
“It’s important because it gets everyone
together, both the Italian community and
others in the area,” he said.
“We’re here to have fun and enjoy every-
thing and just bring people out to have a
fun time together.”

Land conveyance
taken out of agreement
Moya DiLLon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Motorsports Pickering will be
getting a new home after councillors agreed
to remove a land conveyance stipulation from
a bylaw amendment that will grant the com-
pany occupancy at the site of Kahn Auctions,
On Monday, July 11 council voted to
approve a temporary bylaw amendment
allowing Motorsports to operate a recre-
ational vehicle sales and service establish-
ment out of an existing building on the prop-
erty at 2695-2699 Brock Rd. However, coun-
cillors voted to remove a condition requiring
the owner, Henry Kahn, to convey a portion
of lands to the City for future road develop-
ment and shortened the term from three to
two years.
“First of all, we weren’t made aware of this
condition that we had to convey land when
we made the application in February, and
secondly all we’re asking for is the usage of an
existing building,” Mr. Kahn said.
“We’re not putting up office towers, we’re
just going to utilize an existing building. I
don’t think that necessitates a conveyance of
land at this time, that’s purely asinine in my
opinion. From me you’re not going to get any
conveyance of land at any time, so it’s up to
you if you turn these people down. You’re
not going to get a conveyance from me if it’s
five years down the road or 10 years down
the road. As long as I’m here, it’s not going to
happen.”
Mr. Kahn’s refusal to convey lands put
Motorsports owners Rick Hunter and Dave
Osborn on the verge of losing their business.
“The human side of this is basically we had
to let our landlord know whether we were
moving or not and at that point things looked
pretty good so we told our landlord we would
not be resigning,” Mr. Hunter said during a
delegation to council, noting he had to inform
his landlord by June 1, while the Kahns were
not notified of the conveyance condition until
June 9. “There was no opportunity to turn
around and go backwards when all of this
came about. If this gets turned down, tomor-
row six people are out of work and essentially
everything my wife and I have done is all on
the line starting tomorrow morning. I really
plead with councillors to please put tempo-
rary zoning on this and carry it through.”
The road conveyance was being request-
ed to protect lands for possible future road
expansion to accommodate the develop-
ment of Duffin Heights. The planned con-
nector road would link William Jackson Drive
with Brock Road and then connect with Till-
ings Road.
“Right now staff feel this road is not needed
as we stand today, but we don’t know the tim-
ing of how that development will proceed,”
said Neil Carroll, director of planning, not-
ing that by shortening the time period coun-
cillors could increase the chance of another
development agreement coming forward.
“We would be more likely to get a rede-
velopment application sooner because this
shortens the commitment on that land. Once
another application comes forward we can
put a condition on that for conveyance of
lands.”
Councillors voted to approve the amended
motion, but Mayor Dave Ryan made it clear
that he voted reluctantly. “I would personally
have preferred a one-year term, which would
match other properties on Brock Road that
have a one-year renewal for the very same
reason,” Mayor Ryan said, referring to the
planned development of Duffin Heights.
“I am going to support this but with a very
clear message to everyone, please do not
come back and ask us to make this a perma-
nent zoning because with this group of peo-
ple it’s not going to happen, because it’s not
the best thing for this city.”

Police were caring,
compassionate
To the editor:
On Canada Day a friend of ours became
confused and quite agitated. The police
were contacted by a neighbour.
This is to commend the way these two
officers treated our friend. They showed a
great deal of compassion, were very calm-
ing and spent some time assessing his con-
dition, at which time it was felt an ambu-
lance should be called.
It was comforting to us to see the care and
genuine concern these young men had.

Re: Leon Russell at the Regent Theatre.
I had the pleasure of attending Leon Rus-

Theatre, which was promoted by We Rock
Entertainment.
It was a fabulous experience.
The Regent Theatre is a great venue for

Everyone at the show left having an even
better appreciation of the talent of Leon
Russell and his band.
From rock’n’roll to blues and country,
they covered it all. I recommend everyone
consider supporting this venue. It is only
going to get better.

education
More kids will have
to take bus to school
To the editor:
Re: ‘Three Oshawa schools could become
one’, news, durhamregion.com, June 22,
2011.
The DDSB has valid reasons for the con-
solidation of three schools into one.
It cites low enrolment and huge expense
in order to keep the schools open due to
their age. I question the enrolment aspect
considering some schools in Oshawa
accept out-of-area students, keeping the
population artificially inflated.
The issue of expense is certainly legiti-
mate, but when I read that a washroom
upgrade at O’Neill Collegiate (built in 1909)
is going to cost $500,000, it loses some of
its potency. In essence, the DDSB is pick-
ing and choosing how to interpret the data.
As a result, there will be more kids forced
to bus to school. During the last munici-
pal election, I was a candidate running for
trustee at the DDSB. In reference to the
Donevan closure, I went on record to say
“No more school closures.”
At that same debate, Trustee Larry Jacula
predicted that there would be more school
closures. It appears he was correct.

Oshawa
cannabis day
Writer misinformed
about medical marijuana
To the editor:
Re: ‘Are you kidding me?’, letter to the edi-
tor regarding Cannabis Day, durhamre-
gion.com, July 11, 2011.
The letter writer is terribly misinformed
about cannabis and its medical use.
Talk to Ben Fudge.
He is an Oshawa man who can hardly
move because of his medical condition. He
requires cannabis for pain relief and just to
have a somewhat normal life.
He is not just “masking his symptoms
with a great big buzz”, he is getting real pain
relief.
Does the letter writer live with pain? Does
the person know how much pain can ruin
one’s quality of life?
The real crock is people like this who
would deny people like Ben Fudge pain
relief because of their own personal preju-
dices against a plant that has never killed
anyone in the history of recorded time.
Please join us in the 21st century and
stop the prejudice against cannabis.

Conservation important in dog days of a Durham summer
In the soggy depths of April, Durham
Region residents had endured quite
enough of this year’s damp and chilly
spring.
What a difference two months can make.
We’re in the middle of July, less than a
month into the summer season, and the
region has seen a grand total of four milli-
metres of rain hit the ground, far below the
average of 75 millimetres.
In the parlance of street corner and cof-
fee shop conversations, it’s but a drop in
the bucket.
And without any major wet weather
events on the horizon, Durham Region
residents are being asked to conserve
water to reduce the draw demand on res-
ervoirs.
To that end, citizens in communities
from Pickering to Newcastle, up to Scugog
and Uxbridge, are being asked to restrict
lawn watering to Durham’s odd-even sys-
tem, which sees odd-numbered homes do
their watering on odd-numbered calen-
dar days and vice versa for those homes
with even address numbers. And though
a lush green lawn is ideal, officials note
that healthy lawns require 2.5 centimetres
of water per week. As well, residents can
conserve additionally by opting against
washing the car in the driveway, or hosing
down the driveway itself to clear debris.
The risk in such dry weather without vol-
untary conservation efforts is something
more stringent implemented by Region-
al officials, such as restricting all outdoor
water use.
Durham offers timely and practical water
conservation tips, and will provide free
rain gauges to residents to measure the
amount used on lawns to residents who
are interested.
The current hot, dry spell is a welcome
change from the wet and cool spring sea-
son, but will likely only be temporary. In
the meantime, residents across the region
can do their part to conserve without
much effort and help keep reservoirs at
acceptable levels.
Water your lawn on appropriate days,
in appropriate amounts. Give your cars,
trucks, bikes and boats an extra week or
two between washes. Forego the urge to
rinse the driveway with the garden hose,
and try to remain cognizant of the amount
of water you or your family uses on a daily
basis.
In the damp days of spring, water
seemed to be in everywhere, and in great
abundance. Summer, it seems, follows its
own course, and we have an obligation to
adapt.
Turn off the taps, temporarily, and con-
serve the water that we need.

Council approves name
change to mark event

PICKERING -- Local students and munici-
pal staff are teaming up to remake a Pickering
park as part of the city’s bicentennial celebra-
tions.
On Monday, July 11, Pickering council
approved a request from City staff to change
the name of Seguin Park, at the corner of
Finch Avenue and Rosebank Road, to Bicen-
tennial Arboretum. The name change will be
just one of many changes for the park.
A small arboretum is also planned, with
26 different species of native deciduous and
coniferous trees and native shrubs. The new
facility will have an educational bent, with
local schools and community organizations
such as the Altona Forest Stewardship Com-
mittee invited to participate in a planting
event in September and provide future care
for the trees.
“It’s really to help educate the public,” said
Arnold Mostert, co-ordinator of landscape and
parks development for the City of Pickering.
“All the plants will be native species so it
can educate residents by making them more
aware of the types of plants that grow in the
area and it will also be set up for schools to
take classes there. We came up with the idea
to rename the park just to highlight the project
and really set it apart.”
The number of trees proposed for the site is
equal to the number of schools in Pickering,
and each school will become a steward for one
tree, with a stone installed naming the school
and the tree species. “It’s going to be a legacy
to give back to the city for future years,” Mr.
Mostert explained. “The hope is that schools
will bring the kids back to the park each year
to watch as the trees grow.”
The project will be largely funded through
a $15,000 donation from TD Green Streets,
which will assist with the purchase of planting
materials and help fund the maintenance of
plants and educational materials such as on-
site interpretative signage. A public planting
event will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Christmas to come

The man’s death is being jointly investi-
gation by CN and Durham police and at
roughly 3:30 p.m. Mr. Binder said it was
still early in the investigation and no fur-
ther information was available.
The incident suspended service
between the Pickering and Guildwood
GO stations. A bus shuttle was being
provided to carry passengers between
the stops and passengers are also able to
use GO tickets on TTC vehicles in Guild-
wood.
Passengers at the Pickering GO station
were frustrated but sympathetic to the
situation behind the delay. Mike Nadeau
had travelled to Oshawa for an appoint-
ment with a medical specialist and was
trying to get home to the Clarkson sta-
tion when he discovered service was
interrupted.
“I’m facing a huge delay, but it’s sad
that someone got injured,” he said.
“What can you do? You just have to bear
it.”
Lucian Volosievici was similarly sym-
pathetic and noted that GO was trying to
meet customers’ needs.
“I’m trying to get to work so it’s frus-
trating, but they did all they can do real-
ly.”
Whitby’s Alex Huard, who was on
his way to work in downtown Toronto,
tried to get on two shuttle buses but was
denied because they were already too
crowded. Eventually he called his father
to give him a ride rather than wait for
another shuttle, since he was told that
workers didn’t know when the next one
would be arriving.
“I think they should have had it set up a
bit better with getting people to the next
station,” he said.
“For them to say they’re not sure when
the next one is coming is frustrating, but
they’ve done what they could do. There’s
not much you can do in this situation
because there’s no way they could have
known it would happen. I have time so if
I get to work a little late it’s OK.”
Mr. Edwards said at this point he was
unsure when normal train service might
resume.

The weather is warm, the days are long;
summer has officially arrived. Where
will you spend the season?
If you’re looking for a mini-getaway
close to home, check out one of the
many campgrounds right here in Dur-
ham Region. A local outdoor retreat
might be just what your family needs
after a busy school and work year.
Whether you camp in a cabin, trailer
or tent under the stars, there are plenty
of local facilities across the region that
will cater to your camping needs. Even
if you’re pitching a tent for the first time,
camping can be the perfect countryside
escape for you and your family.
Camping is so much more than “rough-
ing it”. Many sites offer extra activities
such as fishing, golfing, hiking, pools,
splash pads and more. Not to mention
the family fun you can have on your own
with swimming, boating, barbecuing
and, of course, roasting marshmallows.
And since school’s out for the summer,
why not let the kids stay up an extra hour
or two so they can stargaze after sunset?
If you’re a beginner, Darlington Provin-
cial Park offers a Learn to Camp series
that includes both one-day and over-
night experiences and all of the equip-
ment necessary for rookies to get a taste
of the great outdoors.
For more information on this series,
and other special events at the park,
visit www.ontarioparks.com/english/
darl.html
Other camping locations in Durham
Region include Cedar Valley Resort in
Orono, Heber Down Conservation Area
in Whitby, Goreski’s Landing Resort in
Port Perry, Greenwood Conservation
Area in Ajax, Glen Rouge Campground
in Pickering, Spring Water Trailer Resort
in Nestleton, and Trout Water Family
Camping in Sunderland.
If you want to reserve a great, scenic
site near the water, remember to call
your campground in advance, because
these hotspots fill up fast. Also be sure
to choose a campsite that caters to your
family’s interests. If canoeing is your
thing, pick a lakeside venue. If you have
small children, choose a site that has
parks and play areas for the kids.
No matter your preference, there is no
better way to spend the summer than
with a mini-getaway in the great out-
doors.
Share the season with your family and
friends, and enjoy all that our beau-
tiful region has to offer this summer.

Summer weather can be harsh on a lawn.
Even the most lawn-conscious homeown-
er can be helpless against a summer heat
wave.
One of the most effective ways to help a
lawn combat summer heat is to water the
lawn as effectively as possible. This is espe-
cially true for homeowners who live in areas
that frequently fall victim to drought. Such
areas often have drought restrictions that
limit how much a homeowner can water his
or her property. These restrictions highlight
the importance of watering effectively.
• Water deeply and infrequently. Light but
frequent watering will not promote strong
roots. In fact, homeowners who water
too frequently can expect the growth of
weeds. When watering, water deeply and
infrequently. Deep water promotes strong,
healthy roots and can significantly reduce
the chances of a weed infestation.
• Don't waste water on the pavement. Be
sure sprinklers are placed in spots where
no water will be overshooting the lawn and
landing on the pavement. Adjust the sprin-
kler heads so all the available water ends up
on the grass where it belongs.
• Water early. Evaporation loss is lowest in
the early morning, typically between the
hours of 5 to 10 a.m. This is a better time
to water than at night, when watering could
lead to fungal disease.
• Water newly seeded or sodded lawns more
frequently. Newly seeded or sodded lawns
require more watering than established
lawns. This is to build strong, healthy roots.
However, it's often not a good idea to sod
or seed in the height of summer, so hom-
eowners planning to do so should consult a
professional before going forward with any
project.
• Choose a drought-resistant grass. For those
who live in areas that frequently experience
drought, a grass that's drought-resistant
could be the best option. Grasses that are
drought-resistant include Bermuda grass,
tall fescue and Zoysia grass. Homeowners
who want to replace their existing grass with
a more drought-resistant species should con-
sult a local lawn care professional for advice
as to which grass is most likely to thrive in
that particular climate or region.

OSHAWA -- It seems the arts are
no longer broken in Oshawa. But
that doesn’t mean Broken Arts is
closing up shop.
The arts collective celebrates
its second anniversary with Bro-
ken Arts Fest 2011, a huge, free,
12-hour event in Oshawa’s Memo-
rial Park featuring roughly 15
bands and musicians, food, zines,
crafts, art, photos and more on
July 16 starting at 10 a.m.
Founder Harley R. Pageot says
the original goal of Broken Arts
was to fill what was thought to be
a need in Oshawa’s arts commu-
nity: while there were a number of
groups, they were all doing their
own thing and Pageot saw Broken
Arts as “a bridge to bring all the
groups together.”
That was then; as Pageot says,
“it’s not necessary any more.
“Our vision has really changed
and evolved,” he says. “Our new
vision is to focus on the all ages
(component of the group) because
there’s no place for under ages to
see shows in Oshawa.”
Pageot and the Broken Arts brain
trust, seven members including
himself, mostly from Oshawa but
with representation from Ajax and
Whitby as well, recently outlined
plans for the festival.
He says when Broken Arts was
formed there was always the
thought of doing a festival one day
and Memorial Park was seen as an
ideal venue.
Each band and musician is slat-
ed to perform for 20 minutes and
they come from all over, including
Toronto, Grimsby, Waterloo, Cour-
tice, Whitby, Ajax and Oshawa.
“We go from acoustic to hard
core punk to reggae, ska, blues,
rock ... it’s all over the map,” Pageot
says.
As well, he says “a tonne of ven-
dors are coming out” to the event.
“Every event I do, I have one
more person come up to me and
say, ‘this is awesome’,” Pageot says.
“But at the same time, we’ve pla-
teaued in our show attendance.
We’re always trying to reach out to
new people.”
Check out the group’s website at
brokenarts.ca where you can learn
more about the festival, the bands
and vendors and the collective.

It’s hard to believe, larger-than-
life Paul Newman has been gone
almost three years now.
He was such a constant super-
star figure over the past 50 years or
so that it seemed inconceivable a
world without him could exist. But,
of course, it was just an illusion.
In more recent times, a yearly
tradition brought the participating
Newman to the popular Molson
Indy 500 race at Exhibition Place in
Toronto. We sure miss his annual
attendance now that he is gone.
Some motion pictures deserve a
revisit now and then. Hud (1963),
a modern-day western starring
Paul Newman, is one of them. The
movie’s driving force of character
studies draws viewer contempla-
tion and reflection from within the
aspects of the story itself.
Newman’s Hud Bannon is an
unprincipled man: spewing inso-
lence and possessing very few inter-
ests, other than a careless, morally
repugnant approach to the pursuit
of wine, women and song.
Contrary to popular belief, the
apple doesn’t always fall close to
the tree, as is the case with Hud,
who is everything his father Homer
(Melvyn Douglas) is not. And, yet,
both persons are very much alike
in their unyielding, non-pliable
positions.
Caught in the middle of escalat-
ing battles between father and son
stands Hud’s nephew, Lonnie Ban-
non (Brandon de Wilde), who is
pulled in two very different direc-
tions and ultimately must decide
which way to go, right or wrong.
On the one hand, he admires
and envies his uncle’s handsome,
charming, though irresponsible
devil-may-care embodiment. At
the same time, Lonnie is also influ-
enced by grandpa’s strong set of
values, which he promotes and
lives by to the distraction of Hud,
who points out that “Daddy quotes
scripture as if he wrote it.”
Hud takes advantage of others, as
he does when recognizing Lonnie’s
wish to be accepted like a younger
brother. Hud uses this emotional
longing from his nephew to gain
more leverage in opposing Homer,
further exposing a despicable soul.
Conclusively, Hud’s magnetically
attractive personality is betrayed by
short bouts of inner feeling expres-
sions that reveal a shallowness and
incapability of sustaining genuine,
meaningful relationships.
The main situation that these
human interplays revolve around
is the fact that Homer made a seri-
ously bad choice in buying out-
of-the-country cattle that turned
out to be diseased and, as a result,
infected his entire livestock, ruin-
ing everything he worked for all of
his life.
Patricia Neal deserved to win the
Academy Award’s Best Actress stat-
ue, playing the housekeeper, Alma
Brown, the only woman in town
that resists Hud’s phoney make up.
Memorable, too, is the ace
black-and-white cinematography,
brought together with purely artis-
tic merits by James Wong Howe.
His work significantly enhances an
aura of pensiveness in the picture
by capturing majestic but sterile
panoramas.
Lastly, the music by Elmer Bern-
stein is outstandingly beautiful.
Along with To Kill A Mockingbird
(1962), this is also one of Bern-
stein’s most sensitive scores.
Quick facts
• Paul Newman died Sept. 26,
2008, age 83. His 1958 marriage to
Joanne Woodward, who contin-
ues to live in Westport, Conn., was
one of the longest-lasting unions in
Hollywood.
• Brandon de Wilde was killed in
an auto accident, July 6, 1972, age
30, on the way to a hospital to visit
his second wife of three months.
His most famous role was in Shane
(1953) as the little boy named Joey
Starrett, who idolizes Shane.
• Director Martin Ritt died Dec. 8,
1990, age 76. Hud was one of five
pictures he did with Paul Newman.
The others were: The Long Hot
Summer (1958), Paris Blues (1961),
The Outrage (1964) and Hombre
(1967).
• James Wong Howe died July 12,
1976, age 76. He is noted for ush-
ering in historical use of labori-
ous deep-focus cinematography,
whereby both foreground and
background surfaces remain in
focus.

Chin throws in
a trip to Florida
BAsketBAll
Agunbiade named to Team Canada for U19 Worlds
PICKERING -- A trip to Chile will
be on the docket this summer
for Wumi Agunbiade after being
named to the Canadian basketball
team that will compete at the 2011
FIBA U19 World Championship.
Agunbiade is one of 12 players
who will take part in the tourna-
ment from July 21-31 in Puerto
Montt, Chile.
“Our team is looking forward to
the opportunity to represent Can-
ada at the FIBA U19 World Cham-
pionship,” said head coach Rich
Chambers. “The team is full of
international experience, which is
important for a tournament of this
stature. Our team has great talent
and chemistry and we are focused
on competing on the international
stage.”
Agunbiade is a six-foot-two for-
ward from Pickering who plays for
Duquesne in the NCAA. She was
the best freshman all season in the
Atlantic-10 Conference, winning
the Rookie of the Year award. The
Dunbarton grad started in 32 of 33
games for Duquesne, averaging
11.2 points per game. The 19 year
old is a liberal arts major.
The 2011 FIBA U19 World Cham-
pionship will feature the best age-
eligible players from around the
world. Canada is one of 16 teams
to qualify for the tournament and
will face tough competition in the
preliminary round as they have
been assigned to Group A, which
includes China, Egypt and Italy.
The Junior Women’s National
Team will begin play on July 21
against China, followed by Egypt
on July 22, and July 23 versus Italy.
From there, the top three teams
from each group will be divided
into two groups and play three
new teams from their group. The
top eight teams from this round
will move onto the quarter-finals.

PICKERING -- She didn’t need to be
at her very best, but Rayann Chin’s
second best was good enough to
book a ticket to Florida to represent
Canada at the 2011 Panamerican
Junior Championships for track
and field.
The 18 year old from Pickering
threw the discus 46.30m at the
Canadian Junior Championships in
Winnipeg recently, her second best
throw all time, which earned her
the gold medal and an automatic
berth on the Canadian team head-
ed to Miramar, Florida for the Pan-
american meet from July 22-24.
At the last edition of the Pana-
merican championships in 2009,
the Canadian squad finished fifth
overall as a team with a haul of 13
medals, including three gold, three
silver and seven bronze.
She will be one of 55 junior-aged
athletes (16-19) who will wear
the Canadian colours this time
around.
“I was just happy,” she says of the
accomplishment. “I was ranked
first going in.”
She almost qualified for another
event, but her bronze in the shot
put at the Canadian juniors after a
toss of 12.62m left her just on the
outside looking in.
Interestingly enough, it was the
shot put she competed in initially,
not getting introduced to the discus
until she got to Dunbarton High
School, where track and field coach
Kyle Schultz introduced her to it.
“I’ve been doing shot put since
elementary school and then I got
introduced into discuss in Grade 9,”
she says.
Combining the two throwing
events was a natural progression
for Chin, who dominated her age
category at the high school level.
She won silver in both the discus
and shot put at the OFSAA pro-
vincial championships in Grade
9, then took over winning double
gold in both in grades 10, 11 and 12.
At this year’s OFSAA event in Sud-
bury, she won gold in shot put with
a mark of 12.87m, and duplicated
the first place finish in the discus
with a toss of 47.06m.
The University of Toronto Track
Club member, who is coached by
Adrian Roberts, is still weighing her
options in terms of academics and
athletics. She’s not sure at this point
where she will be going in the fall.
“I’m trying to figure out what
school I want to go to and where I
want to go,” she says of returning
to Dunbarton for a victory lap or
heading off to an NCAA university
for athletics and academics. “I was
going to go back (to Dunbarton) for
a year, but I’ve decided I want to go
away, so it’s just been figuring out
where to go.”
While her next step is undecided,
she wants to head south to study
early childhood education, and
after, compete at the Olympics.

Championships in Florida after winning gold in the discus at the Canadian Junior championships. The

PICKERING -- The
Pickering Men’s Slow Pitch
League won’t be celebrat-
ing its 35th anniversary
with a traditional cake cut-
ting.
It probably wouldn’t be
the most popular choice
among the 800 players.
Instead, league president
Peter Whitfield is trying
to decide whether com-
memorative coffee cups or
beer steins displaying the
league’s logo would make
more of a lasting memen-
to.
Considering the league
has been referred to as a
‘beer league’, there prob-
ably isn’t a need to take
a vote from the member-
ship.
“I know which way I’m
leaning,” chuckles Whit-
field.
Established back in 1977
with just four teams, the
league has enjoyed steady
growth over the years,
climbing to as high as 65
teams at one point, with 51
teams spread over six divi-
sions currently compet-
ing. The league requires its
players to be a minimum of
18 years old, with some as
high as late-60s still play-
ing in a Masters division
where players are 40-plus.
Whitfied has played in
the league for 25 years,
served as vice-president
for six years and is current-
ly serving his first term as
president.
“Someone’s got to do
it, I guess,” he says of his
involvement. “On our team
we have the liaison officer,
the registrar, past-president
and I’m the president.
“You just tend to hit on
guys on your team to step
up and take your turn as an
executive member.”
One of those teammates
who has done his share,
and continues to do so, is
Al Luce, who has been an
executive member for 15
years and player for close
to 30. He has held the titles
of treasurer, vice-presi-
dent, and president over
the years. For the past four
years he has been the liai-
son officer.
“I find it interesting to
be on the executive. I like
to get involved,” he says of
volunteering his time.
He was involved with the
Kinsmen at one time, but
after moving away from
that in the mid-1980s, he
looked for a new venture to
get involved with.
“I just decided I was look-
ing for something else to do
and got involved in this.”
The league plays strict-
ly on Sundays, with no
long weekends booked for
games. There are two tour-
naments, one in June and
another in August for the
800 players, and if more
diamonds were available,
the league numbers would
be higher, notes Whitfield.
Aside from the games, the
league has also been active
in its contributions to the
City of Pickering over the
years. Three years ago, the
league delivered a cheque
for $125,000 to the City to
put aside for a potential
development of a four-plex
of diamonds in the Seaton
area four to five years from
now.
“Our treasurer said, ‘Hey.
That’s a lot of money to be
just sitting there. Maybe we
should give it to the City in
trust now for future devel-
opment,’” recalls Whitfield.
The league also spon-
sors three youth teams,
has donated a defibrilla-
tor to the City and another
to Legion 606 on Bayly St.,
and contributed significant
amounts to park improve-
ments, including warning
tracks and lighting.
“The City has been good
to us,” says Luce. “It just
seems like the thing to do.
They are awful good to us.”
The arrangement allows
the league to take owner-
ship of where the dona-
tions are directed, giving
them a chance to see the
results of their generosity.
“It has been a good
league,” says Luce, who is
one of the elder statesmen.
“Everyone seems to enjoy
it. The City is behind us 100
per cent and do a lot for us
and in turn we give back
where we can.”
Information about the
league can be found on its
website www.pickering-
mensslowpitch.ca.
