PICKERING -- Looking for something to do in between his musi-
cal pursuits, Pickering resident Brendan Hodge decided to pick up
a paintbrush and see what happened, and area residents can see
for themselves with Pickering’s Experience Art program.
The 24-year-old first picked up a paint brush last year, and
since has come to love the artistic process.
“I started painting just to see what happened, to see what it
would look like, and I didn’t hate it,” Mr. Hodge said, laugh-
ing.

Viewings for Joshua
Yasay to be held
July 21 and 22

AJAX -- Funeral services for an Ajax man
killed in a mass Scarborough shooting will
be held Monday, July 23 at 11 a.m. at St.
Francis de Sales Parish, 1001 Ravenscroft
Rd., Ajax.
Joshua Yasay died following a shooting
at a Scarborough block party July 16, along
with a 14-year-old Toronto girl, Shyanne
Charles.
Another 23 people were shot during
the mayhem on Danzig Street, including
a 22-month-old toddler whose head was
grazed by a bullet. All but one of the vic-
tims were treated and released, with one
man still in hospital in stable condition,
according to the most recently available
reports. One woman was treated for non-
gunshot related injuries and released.
Mr. Yasay was part owner of Goodfellas
Barber Lounge, 34 Church St. S., Ajax. The
23 year old was a caring and hardwork-
ing man who mentored at-risk youth and
dreamed of being a police officer, in the
hopes of curbing the same violence that
took his life. A bachelor of arts and crim-
inology graduate of York University, he
also worked as a security guard in down-
town Toronto.
Viewings for Mr. Yasay will be held from
2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 21 and Sunday,
July 22 at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28
Old Kingston Rd., Ajax.

Funeral service July 23
for Ajax man killed in
mass Scarborough shooting>
AJAX -- Police continue to call for informa-
tion on the whereabouts of an Ajax man
who’s been missing for more than a week.
Warfa Yusuf, 29, was last seen July 10,
Durham police said. Worried family mem-
bers say it is unusual for the man to go so
long without contacting them.
Although tips have come in since police
first publicized the case Wednesday, Mr.
Yusuf remains missing. He’s of Somalian
descent, standing 5 feet 11 and weighing
about 205 pounds. He has short black hair
and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing
long blue shorts, a plaid short-sleeved shirt
and a white undershirt.
Call police at 905-579-1520, extension
2534 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

PICKERING
“Now I’m at the point where I can actu-
ally do what I set out to do, but I don’t
plan anything out. I start with a general
idea and then go from there. I like leav-
ing things abstract because then people
have the ability to see what they want in
the painting.”
Mr. Hodge’s art is now on display at the
Pickering Civic Complex through July 30
as part of the City’s Experience Art pro-
gram, which features work by a different
area artist monthly. Mr. Hodge decided
to participate in the program to get more
exposure for his work, which had mostly
been shown only to friends and family.
“It’s a lot more interesting to get opin-
ions from strangers,” he explained, not-
ing between Experience Art and Picker-
ing’s Artfest on the Esplanade, held ear-
lier this summer, he’s already sold two
paintings.
“It blows my mind when a stranger
actually wants to buy one of my paint-
ings. It’s insane, in a good way.”
Although his chance attempt at art has
turned out better than he ever dreamed,
Mr. Hodge said he has no plans to give
up music anytime soon, and his cur-
rent hard-core thrash band Terror Spells
remains his first priority. Art, however,
will remain a favourite hobby.
“I plan to just keep painting like crazy
all the time,” he said. “I didn’t think I
would end up loving it as much as I did,
ever since I started I can’t stop.”

ence Art program, visit www.pickering.

Durham humane
society seeks
public’s help
with case
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- At Baker Animal Clinic in
Whitby, a little grey and white dog with
one eye and burn marks covering half of
his body is surprisingly full of life.
But this wasn’t the case last week,
when a passerby spotted the Shih Tzu
mix tied to the back of a large garbage bin
behind the No Frills on Kingston Road in
Pickering. The citizen took the dog to the
Humane Society of Durham Region as he
found him, severely burned with a make-
shift bandage covering just a portion of
the welts that riddled his body.
The male dog, around six years old, was
then seen by veterinarian Cheryl Birss,
who determined he had burns to about
50 per cent of his body.
“This is the worst burn type of incident
I’ve ever seen,” says Dr. Birss, who adds
the eye loss appears to be from an earlier
veterinarian procedure.
She’s now fostering the dog, which
she’s named Oliver or Ollie for short,
and is nursing him back to health. The
dog, whose original name was Rotti, gets
round-the-clock care and is on several
pain medications.
It appears a hot liquid burned the dog,
which could have been anything from a
chemical to scalding water, says Ontario
SPCA officer Debby Houghton.
“To tie it up to a garbage can and walk
away, it’s very disturbing because it was
in severe pain,” says Ms. Houghton.
Initially, the outlook for Ollie’s recov-
ery looked grim. Dr. Birss says his burns
were at least a couple of days old and if
he were human, he’d most likely be in a
coma.
But he’s made great progress, and is
now eating, socializing and even ‘mark-
ing his territory’ outside the vet clinic on
his walks.
“He’s got this will and he’s doing
remarkably well,” says Ms. Houghton.
Dr. Birss hopes he’ll be medical-
ly cleared and ready to find his forever
home in three to four weeks. He seems
afraid of men, but vet staff are trying to fix
the problem.
His original owner was tracked down
through a microchip, but said the dog
had been given to someone else months
ago, says Ms. Houghton, and the trail
ends there. It’s unknown who was caring
for Ollie when he was harmed.
Ms. Houghton is seeking the public’s
help with the case. Anyone who has
information or knows who owned the
dog around July 10 (the dog would have
probably been called Rotti at the time), is
asked to call 905-665-7430, ext. 225.
Ms. Houghton also asks the person
who found Ollie to call her, as they didn’t
leave any contact information.
Anyone who harms an animal could
be jailed for two years and fined up to
$60,000 under the Provincial Animal
Welfare Act.

Something’s wrong here
To the editor:
Re: ‘Dog nearly dies in Oshawa after left
outside in heat’, news, durhamregion.com,
June 25, 2012.
There was also a recent report on chil-
dren left alone in several locations in and
around Durham.
I do not recall the dramatic accounts
there that I noted in the dog story.
It is not nice to abuse any animal, includ-
ing dogs.
On the other hand, when dogs are over-
coddled and children are under-coddled,
society has gone off the rails.

Why would anyone
inject these chemicals?
To the editor:
Re: ‘Vaccine a sore spot for Whitby teen’,
news, durhamregion.com, June 28, 2012.
I’m amazed that parents allow their chil-
dren to be injected with these vaccines,
many of which contain aluminum, mer-
cury, formaldehyde, and who knows what
else.
Actually, I’m amazed that adults allow
that stuff to be injected into their bodies,
let alone the bodies of their children. Have
we, the so-called masses, learned noth-
ing from the swine flu scam? Pharmaceu-
tical companies will never divulge what’s
in their vaccines unless required to do so,
either by governments (fat chance) or pub-
lic outrage.
Lastly, it’s ironic to note that her problem
was ultimately diagnosed by a naturopath-
ic doctor and later confirmed by a ‘medical
doctor’.

Work for change,
don’t just complain
To the editor:
Re: ‘A Canada Day lament’, letter to the
editor, durhamregion.com, July 3, 2012.
While the letter writer seems to condone
desecration of public and private proper-
ty, and the burning of police vehicles, this
does not seem like the action of innocent
people to me.
He does seem to object to supplying our
troops with adequate equipment. For too
long our soldiers have used old tanks, leaky
subs and 40-year-old helicopters, along
with other antiquated equipment. Has the
letter writer ever visited the Brock Street
bridge when we honour our fallen heroes?
Maybe then he will remember the cost of
freedom. We have one of the most diverse
societies in the world and immigrants flock
to our shores.
Checking our ethnic diversity we cannot
be doing that bad of a job. As for his claim
about the governments eroding our rights,
this is what elections are about. If you
don’t like it, work to change it. Don’t just
complain. Pity.

Kicking MP when
she’s down
To the editor:
Re: ‘Bye bye, Bev’, Mike Johnston column,
durhamregion.com, July 11, 2012.
I am not in her riding but I have to assume
that a lot of people liked her to give her the
number of votes she received.
She did good work on behalf of Canada.
Yes, she made mistakes and had to go. But
kicking like that when she is down is not
something we should expect from some-
one who has such access to the media.
That kind of reporting from a managing
editor seems a little low class. It is a free
country but this opinion seems too bitter.

More recycling would
negate incinerator need
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham inching towards 70 per cent
waste diversion goal’, news, durhamregion.
com, June 2, 2012.
I can’t believe the article I read in which
the Region was glowing about the waste
diversion of 50 per cent from landfill and a
target of 70 per cent by 2015. Can anyone
explain why the Region is spending mil-
lions of dollars on a incinerator when it is
painfully obvious that the money should
be spent in the pursuit of recycling?
Does the word Mirabel mean anything?

Cycling tour through Durham promotes local communities
A group of committed cyclists, tired but in
good spirits, arrived in Oshawa this week to
spend the night en route to Quebec.
The group is taking part in a 730-kilome-
tre ride from Niagara-on-the-Lake to the
Quebec border as part of the Great Water-
front Trail Adventure, an annual ‘cycling
holiday’ for participants, and a means to
promote cycling, cycling safety, waterfront
trail networks in the Golden Horseshoe and
beyond, and the abiding interest in active
living.
But the tour, as it passed through Dur-
ham’s lakefront municipalities, also shone a
spotlight on local issues related to cycling.
On the positive side, the tour brought
cyclists through Ajax and Oshawa, two Dur-
ham municipalities recently designated by
the Share the Road Coalition as bronze-lev-
el, bike-friendly communities.
However, a narrow, high-traffic stretch of
road along Bayly-Victoria Street between
Ajax and Whitby was cited by some as haz-
ardous and deemed in need of modifica-
tion. As it happens, councils in both Whitby
and Ajax are currently in the preliminary
stages of a redesign along that very stretch
of road to address safety issues for cyclists
and traffic volumes for motorists.
The cycling tour also exposed partici-
pants -- most of whom live outside Dur-
ham Region -- to the appealing water-
fronts of local municipalities. The trail took
them through Pickering’s trendy and pop-
ular waterfront with its village setting and
splash pad for kids. It took them to Ajax’s
waterfront, starting at the Duffins Creek
Marsh, over to Rotary Park and then to its
nautical landmarks, then farther east as the
trail winds towards Whitby, before ending
the day in the friendly confines of Lakeview
Park in Oshawa, under its towering shade
trees.
Overall, the tour served as a snapshot for
participants and local residents in these
municipalities, to highlight the appeal that
exists, the scenic vistas that are offered, the
fitness benefits that can be realized, and
even areas that are in need of improve-
ment.
There is an active and passionate riding
community that exists in Durham. Those
who pursue cycling as a hobby work dili-
gently to address safety issues, promote
their passion and to advise decision-mak-
ers. The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure
tour is a perfect complement to their ongo-
ing efforts here at home as municipalities
continue to create healthy living opportu-
nities and greenspaces for residents.
Take a ride on one of the trails in your
neighbourhood -- or in a neighbouring
municipality -- to discover for yourself
where the day might take you.

Residents turn out
for meeting on
conservation
lands tower
PICKERING -- After an outcry from residents,
Rogers is proposing an alternate location for a
controversial cell tower.
A proposal to locate a Rogers cell tower on
Toronto and Region Conservation Author-
ity (TRCA) lands just north of Rodd Avenue
in Pickering drew fire from surrounding res-
idents earlier this month, leading Rogers to
offer an alternate location for the tower.
“Based on the community
input we received there was
obviously some opposition
to the proposed location,”
said Tatyana Moro, munici-
pal relations specialist for
Rogers.
“Due to that we decided to
work with the TRCA to set
the tower further back from
residential areas in order to
mitigate those concerns.”
The new location would
see the tower moved farther
north, just south of an exist-
ing TRCA equipment shed
and parking area. “We’re
leaning towards the alter-
nate because of all the com-
munity input we’ve received so far,” Ms. Moro
said. “We would prefer to work with the pub-
lic and Pickering council to find the ideal site
for the community.”
While residents appreciated the effort, they
still had concerns with the location of a tower
in their community.
“It’s a bit more reasonable,” said resident
Alex Tsoulis, who had concerns with its prox-
imity to the residential area and the fact it was
located on conservation lands.
“You’re not allowed to put houses there but
you can put a cell tower? There’s necessary
infrastructure for a community, but this is not
that. No reasonable person would put this so
close to houses.”
Resident Sue Fukushima’s primary concern
was the conservation lands and the effect a
tower could have on both residents and wild-
life.
“We live here because of the conservation
lands and we want to keep it natural,” she
explained.
“That tower is in a migra-
tory path for animals and
birds and we don’t know
what the long-term effects
are on them or on people.
The alternate is better aes-
thetically, but it doesn’t
address any concerns with
regards to being on conser-
vation lands.”
Once the commenting
period closes on Friday,
July 20 Rogers staff will put
together a report recom-
mending a final site propos-
al, which will be forward-
ed to City of Pickering staff.
The proposal will then go
before Pickering council for
approval, most likely in October or Novem-
ber. Residents who wish to offer input can
e-mail tatyana.moro@rci.rogers.com. The
TRCA board will also have to approve the
request in order for Rogers to lease the land,
with a staff recommendation expected to go
before the board in September or October for
decision.

received there

DURHAM -- A Durham Region resident was
bilked of her life savings by a man she met
on an Internet dating site, police say.
Durham cops have issued a warning about
such online scams after the woman was
defrauded of more than $350,000 by a grifter
who posed as a successful businessman and
professed his love for her.
Exchanges between the 61-year-old victim
and the suspect occurred between February
and July of this year, police said. Posing as
a U.S. resident with interest in gold mining
and business ventures in Ghana, he sought
numerous loans for a variety of reasons.
The scammer came up with many excuses
for failing to repay the loans, and declared
his love for the victim, police said.
Police advise Internet users to be careful
about sharing personal information online,
and to never provide money or banking
and credit information to people they don’t
know.
It’s also important not to be swept up in
declarations of love by someone you’ve
exchanged just a few e-mails with, police
said.

Ajax Fire
Department
reminds residents
of hefty penalties
Tara HaTHerly
thatherly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Illegal open air burns are on the
rise in Ajax, according to Ajax Fire and
Emergency Services.
Fire crews have responded to numerous
illegal burns in the town recently and Ajax
Fire wants to remind residents that ille-
gal burns are dangerous and carry serious
consequences.
“Open-air burning creates a potential fire
hazard in the community and also infring-
es on people’s rights to enjoy their proper-
ty free from smoke odours and other nui-
sances created by this activity,” said Ajax’s
chief fire prevention officer, Keith Douc-
ette. “Fire department resources are also
depleted by crews having to respond to
false alarms and complaints created by
open air burning.”
Illegal outdoor burns are punishable
offences under the Ontario Fire Code,
which can impose fines of up to $50,000
and up to one year of imprisonment.
Open-air burns are banned in most areas
of the town, which means all outdoor
wood-burning appliances are prohibited,
including chimneas and outdoor fireplac-
es.
Ajax’s open-air burning bylaw can be
found online at www.ajax.ca under fire
prevention and public safety. Residents
can also get more information by calling
the Ajax Fire Prevention and Public Safety
Division at 905-683-3050, option two.
Reporter Tara Hatherly can be found on Twitter @Tara_
Hatherly and on Facebook by searching Tara Hatherly.
Illegal open-air burns increasing in Ajax>
(NC)—Whether it’s to soak up
the sun while laying poolside,
hiking in the woods, or sitting on
a patio to enjoy a cool drink with
friends when the days get longer,
our first instinct is to move
outside to absorb the daylight
and fresh air we naturally crave.
In fact, natural daylight has been
associated with improved mood,
enhanced morale, reduced
fatigue and reduced eyestrain.
Natural light and fresh air are quite essential to healthy living, so
it’s important to realize that most people spend the majority of their
time indoors. Between home and the office or workplace, up to 90
per cent of our time can be spent inside buildings.
Since there is no electrical light source that matches exactly the
qualities of daylight, the amount of natural light provided through
windows, doors and skylights has a direct impact on your overall
well-being. Consider a modest investment in your home that will pay
back through improved mood, productivity and general happiness.
Skylights provide up to twice as much light as windows on vertical
wall surfaces. Today’s best skylights feature a no-leak guarantee
when installed correctly, and are made from high-performance
materials that block out the sun’s
damaging UV-B rays which can
lead to sunburns, skin aging and
skin cancer.
To maximize health benefits,
install a Velux venting skylight
which lets in just as much
sunlight as a typical skylight
but also opens for improved
air circulation in your home.
Increasing fresh air helps to
improve energy levels and may
decrease asthma and allergy
triggers, which have been conclusively linked to humid buildings.
Skylight accessory options include remote controlled blinds for
added control over the amount of light entering your home. More
information is available online at www.velux.ca.

A brighter home is a healthier home
Find the funds for renovations by refinancing
(NC)— With the arrival of summer, many of us
want to spruce up our homes to welcome the sunny
weather. These improvements might include
anything from simple repairs to completing a full
renovation that’s been on the backburner during
the winter months.
Major renovations often put a larger dent in
the wallet than the planned budget, resulting in
delays and increased debt. However, refinancing
or renewing an existing mortgage provides a
sound option for covering those renovation
costs by leveraging the equity in your home -
even if you’re simply looking for extra funds to
redecorate and give your home a quick refresh.
“Refinancing your mortgage is a great solution
that many Canadians may not know exists when
looking for extra cash to support a renovation,”
said Peter Kalen, senior vice president of Sears
Financial and Home Services. “In this case, a
large lump sum can be loaned at a much lower
rate than the average line of credit using the
interest rates tied to your mortgage. Payments are
also more manageable since they are spread out
over a longer period of time.”
Mortgage specialists can review your current

Boomers drive a different type of housing boom
(NC)—Baby boomers will continue to drive the housing
market over the next 20 years, says a recent report from
the Conference Board of Canada. The demands of this
group however, are quite different than those of buyers in
other groups. They are looking for smaller, less burdensome
housing such as condos or bungalows.
“As the population ages, there will be a demand for a
different type of home that will meet boomers’ needs,”
says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate
Association (OREA). “In addition to condos and bungalows,
some developers are responding to this growing market of
aging boomers by offering home designs that cater to multi-
generational living, with dual master bedrooms or separate
lofts, for example.”
Whether folks prefer living in a secure building or need a
house with everything on one storey, we are definitely going
to see a change in what’s offered on the market, according to
Abraham. He recommends that all homeowners think about
how their needs will change as they get older.
For baby boomers who don’t have a plan in place for their
next home move, Abraham recommends they speak with
a Realtor now to find out the value of their property and
discuss possibilities for a future home. “A Realtor can help
you learn what housing options are out there and plan for
your next stage of homeownership.”
Abraham shares these tips for boomers considering a home
change:
• Think about your lifestyle: Do you plan to travel or have
potential health issues? If so, a single-level home or a condo
might be the best fit.
• Downsizing is not a boomer’s only option. Buying a house
now that can be converted into multiple units to rent later
allows you flexibility as your circumstances change.
• Speaking with a Realtor about buying and selling options
can sometimes reveal certain opportunities that might not
otherwise have been considered.

Durham’s Got Ta lent!Stars Shine at Senior Ta lent Co mpetition
Chartwell Seniors Housing recently
held local auditions for Senior Star,
Canada’s largest national talent
competition dedicated to
seniors.Now in its 6th year,
this singing and musical in-
strument competition is
open to anyone 65 years
and over and a Canadian
resident.In 2011, 74-year-old
To ni Pinto of Wo odbridge, Ontario
was named Chartwell’s Senior Star after
he wowed the crowd and the judges with a moving
piano instrumental performance of the classic
Au tumn Leaves.
“Chartwell’s Senior Star has grown to become the
largest celebration of seniors’ talent in Canada,”
adds Brent Binions,President and CEO of Chartwell
Seniors Housing. “We are proud to support the
incredible talent of Canadian seniors and continue
to be amazed and entertained yearafter year by the
calibre of performers who participate.”
Chartwell’s retirement and long term care homes
in Durham recently held their regional competi-
tion on June 21st at the Pickering To wn Centre.
Staff,residents, family members and the community
had the pleasure of viewing some outstanding
performances from talented and charismatic
individuals, all vying for a coveted spot at the
National Final.The
event garnered a great
deal of attention,as
the audience packed
into the food court of
the mall eager to see
the exquisite talent
on stage.Contestants
were givena maximum
of five minutes to sing
a song,play an in-
strument,or do both.
A panel of judges, including Adam Stokholm
National Band Manager for Long and McQuade,
Steve Macko Saxophone &Pianist for Little Caesar
&The Consuls and Carl Miller ow ner of Café
Crème Brûlée provided encouraging feedback and
comments after each performance.
While all performances were inspiring
and uplifting,judges managed to narrow
it down to the top two contestants, each
of whom were recognized with a Senior
Star trophy.Ly n Doucette of Oshawa,
Ontario was runner-up after her outstand-
ing performance of “Lullaby of Broadway”
First place went to Er ic Whyte of Pickering,
Ontario,who had the crowd cheering
him on throughout his rendition of
“Dream Lover.”Both individuals cap-
tured the hearts and souls of the crowd
and were an instant favourite.They will advance
for consideration for Chartwell’s Senior Star
Na tional Final.
“Our performers shatter traditional misconcep-
tionsaboutslowing down in ones’later years,”said
Melinda Wilkinson,Sales and Marketing Manager
at Chartwell Wy nfield Retirement Residence in
Oshawa, Ontario.“The amount of senior talent
that exists in our community is truly incredible
and we are pleased to provide an outlet for them
to share their gift.”Thousands of auditions have
taken place across Canada in the month of Ju ne
and Durham is hoping that one of its shining stars
will advance in the competition.In 2010, Oshawa
senior Barry Gardner advanced to the National
Final held at the historic Carlu Theatre in To ronto.
A celebrity panel of
judges will view videos
of the first and second
place winners from
across Canada and
narrow the list to ten

Talent agent comes to Durham for quality
DURHAM -- Before you even exchange
greetings, Pat Jarosz is sizing you up.
The BOOKITTALENT owner/agent in
recent years has met countless Durham
residents at open meetings. It’s an ini-
tial interview where Jarosz evaluates all
comers to see if they have what it takes
for work in TV commercials and series,
movies and print advertising.
And she’s discovered many local peo-
ple, from children to adults, who are
now working in the business.
A former model with years of experi-
ence, Jarosz knows exactly what she’s
looking for.
“Whether it’s print or TV, what I look
for is when they’re walking up to me,
even before they sit in front of me,
they’re smiling, they’ve got a sparkle
in their eye and they’re looking right at
me,” she says.
Jarosz says it tells her a lot. Shyness is
not a quality she wants to see. An outgo-
ing person makes an immediate, good
first impression. And at an audition,
first impressions are everything.
“This is a business where they’re going
to be meeting strangers all the time,”
Jarosz says.
“(At an audition) it’s going in, intro-
ducing yourself and you have a couple
of minutes to make that first impres-
sion.”
Now living in Wasaga Beach, Jarosz
was an agent for 20 years, scouted for
other agents for another eight years
and formed BOOKITTALENT in 2009.
Scouting for other agents, she didn’t
like finding a talent, sending them off to
an agent and losing track of them.
“I’m a different agent,” Jarosz says. “I
go out and find talent myself.”
She finds that it’s more comforting for
people to meet her on their own turf.
The first time Jarosz came to Dur-
ham was simply because she’d never
been here before. Durham isn’t far from
Toronto, she reasoned, let’s test the
waters. Jarosz has returned many times
since because, she says, the quality of
the people here, in terms of their biz-
readiness, is unparalleled.
“There are so many excellent dance
schools in Durham,” she says. “There
are so many wonderful opportunities
for young people to work with a local
theatre group. I have not found that any-
where I’ve been. They’re not shy, which
is the number one thing an actor can’t
be.”
Eighty-five to 90 per cent of the people
she meets are on a mission: they want
to be in the industry and they want an
agent.
On more than one occasion, a mother
brought a son or daughter to meet her
and has been surprised when Jarosz has
asked if she’s interested in the business.
Jarosz has a number of pointers for
people with starry ambitions. First, she
notes, there are a lot of “opportunities”
out there that are rip-offs. She’s amazed
that people, parents if they’re checking
for a child, don’t do a little, basic home-
work.
“Most people that I met have looked at
my website and have Googled me,” she
says. “What surprises me is people who
don’t.”
If you Google a so-called agent and
the search yields no results, Jarosz says
red flags should go up.
And while personality is king and
queen, having a proper photograph
shouldn’t be underestimated. Bottom
line, don’t scrimp on a photo, have one
professionally taken.
Jarosz has advice for parents who bring
their child or children to an interview:
stay out of the way as much as possible.
“When I ask them questions I don’t
want the parents answering for them,”
she says. “They’re not going to be in the
audition room with the children.”
Check out her website, patjarosz.com.
And watch for profiles on some of
Jarosz’s Durham clients in the coming
weeks at durhamregion.com.

Bed bugs are small, smaller than
the size of a grain of rice, but they can be
a big problem. These bugs like to lay their
eggs along the seams of a mattress and box
spring, wooden areas such as bed frames and
baseboards, clothing, etc. Bed bugs can lay
one to five eggs a day, and they are nearly
impossible to see.
Bed bugs survive by having blood
meals, which they get from you! They feed
by injecting their elongated beak into you and
withdrawing blood. They are attracted to the
carbon dioxide you emit and the warmth you
produce. Their bites can cause an allergic
reaction that leads to scratching and discomfort.
Those who have an infestation can suffer from
mental stress, sleeplessness, embarrassment,
and loss of property value. The infestation can
spread from the bedroom(s) throughout the rest
of the house.
Leap Pest Control are bed bug
specialists. They have several options to help
you get rid of bed bugs permanently.
One option is heat treatment. Heat
equipment is set up in your home. The
temperature is raised to 135̊ F and maintained
for several hours, which will kill live bed bugs.
After the heat treatment, Diatomaceous Earth
or a permethrin based dust will be put behind
outlet and switch plate covers. A small amount
of residual spray may be applied in to cracks
and crevices for long term protection. Customers
can also opt to use mattress encasements to help
protect the mattress and box spring. Climb up
bed bug monitors will be placed under each
bed leg for monitoring purposes. Their canine
detector, Hunter, will be brought in to inspect
your home to make sure all bed bugs have
been eliminated.
Leap Pest Control also offers a chemical
treatment to kill the bed bugs. This process
includes vacuuming likely infestation areas,
applying a hot dry steam to specific areas,
applying treatments to cracks and crevices
around the baseboards, door and window
frames, and other areas where bed bug
activity may occur. Mattress encasements are
recommended. A follow-up treatment will take
place 10 to 14 days after the first treatment.
Hunter, part of the canine detection
team has more than 600 hours of training
in scent detection for bed bugs. His nose
can pinpoint infestations with 95% accuracy,
whereas other more costly mechanical devices
can only lead to and pinpoint infestations with
approximately 30% accuracy.
Don’t let the bed bugs bite any longer!
Call Leap Pest Control and regain control of
your home!
For more information, please call
(416) 805-3944 or visit the website at
www.leappestcontrol.com.

‘Super-bendy’ Pickering dancer going to circus school
Ajax’s Holly
Makarchuk
off to Montreal
BY MIKE RUTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Holly Makarchuk is
beyond flexible. She’s “super
bendy,” able to twist and stretch
her body into astonishing posi-
tions.
And while most would wince
to see her lay on her stomach
and bring her feet up to her ears,
imagining how painful it must
be, the 17-year-old Ajax High
School student says it actually
feels great.
“I love it,” she says. “It feels
very good on my back and body.
I love stretching and the way
people look at you and go, ‘that’s
so cool’.”
A dancer for most of her life,
her specialty is acro, specifi-
cally contortion. When
she first saw Cirque du
Soleil contortion-
ists her immedi-
ate thought was,
‘I want to be up
there doing that’.
She’s going to the National
Circus School in Montreal this
month, where she’ll train for
eight hours a day as she pursues
a dream to be a Cirque Du Soleil
performer.
“I was screaming at home
(when I found out),” she says.
“I’m so excited to go, to meet
other people and learn more
things in contortion.”
Most young people listen to
popular music, but Holly regu-
larly plays music from Cirque
routines, often getting per-
plexed ‘what is this’ queries
from friends. But maybe not
from best friend Juliann Morri-
son of Pickering, Holly’s dance
partner, who also excels in con-
tortion.
“We’re both super bendy and
we get along so well,” Holly says.
“On the beach we’ll be doing
things and people will come up
to us.”
While she did commer-
cials and had small
parts in movies
when she was
little,
Holly’s
overwhelming
obsession has always
been dance.
“Before she actually
took lessons, she was always
dancing,” says her mother,
Donna Makarchuk, who adds it’s
not uncommon to hear a thump-
thump sound coming from Hol-
ly’s room in the evening as she
practises hand-stands against
the wall.
Holly showed up at the Denise
Lester Dance Academy when
she was two, a year younger
than most kids start there.
She proved
she belonged
and has been
dancing there
ever since.
She started off in bal-
let and, while it’s hard to
believe, recalls a time
when she was “hor-
rible at acro” and
“couldn’t
d o
any-
thing.”
One sum-
mer she
decided
she had to do
better, enlist-
ing an aunt and former dancer
who is also very flexible to work
with her until Holly began to
excel.
She comes from a family of
dancers, noting her aunts all
danced at Denise Lester’s acad-
emy, which is a second home to
her. Now Holly’s a teacher there,
helping her acro teacher, Tammy
Anderson, with classes.
Anderson says Holly has the
great combination of being
both very talented and a hard
worker, noting at competitions
she’s received
awards
such as
Teach-
e r ’ s
Dream
and Des-
tined to be in
Cirque.
“She puts so
much into it and is
also so pleasant,”
she says. “All
the little kids
really look
up to her.
I’m really
excited for her because
I think she really deserves this.
“As talented as she is, she’s not
conceited. She’s very modest
about herself and her skill.”
As part of the application pro-
cess for circus school, Anderson
choreographed a solo for Holly
that showed her abilities. Forty
people were accepted into the
program, which receives up to
300 applications from around
the world. She’ll be there for two
intense weeks, majoring in con-
tortion, balancing and Chinese
pole.
“It’ll be tough, but it’ll be
worth it,” Holly says. “It’ll make
me a better dancer.”
Chinese pole, especially, “is
going to be hard,” Holly says.
Vertical poles on which per-
formers climb, slide and hold
poses, the marquee trick on the
apparatus is “the flag,” which
sees the performer hang hori-
zontally from the pole.
But she’s excited to try it and
Holly says she loves being chal-
lenged.
An honour roll student cur-
rently sporting a roughly 90 per
cent average (“not my best,”
she says), Holly is very active in
school in student coun-
cil, the business club,
leadership council
and athletic asso-
ciation.
She has a par-
allel dream, to be a lawyer, and
would like to attend Harvard
one day.
But that dream might have to
take second place to a career as
a super-bendy contortionist.
“I love performing and making
people happy,” Holly says.

Just a small-town guy
OSHAWA -- Singer John Mellencamp thrilled an enthusiastic crowd at Oshawa’s
General Motors Centre Sunday night. Many of the songs turned into audience par-
ticipation numbers, and Mellencamp seemed genuinely moved by the warm recep-
tion he received from his Durham fans. Read about the show and see more photos

Slammin’ the competition
AJAX -- The Writers’ Community of Durham Region held its Summer Slam spoken word
and performance competition July 14 at the Ajax Convention Centre. Sue Reynolds,
left, of north Durham took the first-place gavel for winning the event while Pickering
author Heather Smyth was the runner-up. The event challenged Durham writers to
write and perform a piece at the WCDR’s breakfast meeting. Among the restrictions
they faced, the writers could use no props and had to deliver their piece in three
minutes or less.

Pickering High School
wrestlers making
an impact on the mat
DURHAM -- Some students and a teacher from
Pickering High School are taking their wrestling
exploits to a whole new level.
Braxton Papadopoulos, 17, turned the tables
on seasoned veterans, posting three stunning
upsets to win the Canada Cup of international
wrestling at the University of Guelph.
In her first match she defeated Jazmyne Bark-

Pickering’s Jenn Wakefield
drafted by Toronto Furies
PICKERING -- Jenn Wakefield has a new hockey
home.
The Pickering resident was selected in the
third round of the Canadian Women’s Hockey
League draft by the Toronto Furies. The Furies fin-
ished with a 9-13-5 record last season.
Wakefield’s NCAA hockey career came to an
end earlier this year when her Boston University
Terriers were edged 8-7 in triple overtime by Cor-
nell in the quarterfinals. The senior captain scored
once and added two assists in her final collegiate
game.
She finished her unbelievable collegiate career
with 206 points on 120 goals and 86 assists. She
is the only skater in Hockey East history to have
reached the 100-goal plateau and became the
second league skater to score 200 career points.
Wakefield won a gold medal with Canada at
the 2012 World Championships.

Canada’s first
paragolfer cart
comes to Durham
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The first Ottobock Para-
golfer in Canada has found a home in
Durham Region thanks to the Bruce’s
Golf Rewards program.
The chair was unveiled last month at
Lakeridge Links and is geared towards
allowing those who have suffered debil-
itating injuries in the past and can no
long function at the same level a chance
to either get back into the game of golf,
or experience it for the first time.
“We did a Special Olympics day and
we kind of had the idea that we want-
ed to give back to the people that have
maybe been shutout from golf before,”
said Ben Conway, director of marketing
for Bruce’s Golf Rewards. “So we started
looking on the Internet and found out
about the paragolfer.”
The chair is an all-terrain-type motor-
ized machine that lifts a person from a
sitting position to an upright position,
allowing them to grab a club and swing
away.
At the launch, Pickering native Antho-
ny Lue, a former star athlete in these
parts who was severely injured in a
work-place accident in 2009, got a
chance to try out the chair and accord-
ing to Conway, there was no wiping the
smile off his face. Or anyone involved for
that matter.
“It’s amazing. It makes you feel great,”
Conway said. “We had one kid out there,
Anthony Lue, I think he had golfed once
before he got hurt and hadn’t stood up
straight for a long time. When he stood
up straight (with the paragolf chair) the
look on his face, the grin from ear-to-
ear, his mom was smiling. She couldn’t
believe it. That type of thing is what you
do it for. You want to see the smiles and
for them to have the feeling that they can
do whatever they want now.”
For now Conway says the one chair
they have, which is currently on display
at Lakeridge, will be rotated between
the eight courses in the Bruce’s Golf
Rewards program. Along with Lak-
eridge, the other seven are Whispering
Ridge, Annandale, Pickering, Eldorado,
Winchester, Riverside and Stonehenge.
Eventually they would like to include
four chairs and allow for an entire para-
golfing group to hit the links.
“We’re hoping to eventually be able to
have four of them to rotate through the
courses,” Conway said. “Ideally, what
our owner Doug Summers wants is to
see a foursome up and go out on one of
the courses and let them play.”
Conway added there will be no charge
for use of the chair for someone wanting
to take to the tee block with a group of
friends.
“If you come to golf with your friends
and they are walking, they pay but you
don’t,” Conway said. “We want to be
able to open it up. We don’t want to cre-
ate more barriers for people to use it.”
>Golf made more accessible
RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND
WHITBY -- Anthony Lue tried out the Ottobock Paragolfer chair at Lakeridge Links. The chair is the first of its type to be
offered by a golf club in Canada and allows for disabled athletes to enjoy the game of golf without restrictions.

APDuffy closes out junior career
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- It was a great run while it
lasted, and now Ian Duffy is eager
to find out what other opportuni-
ties are ahead.
The lacrosse goalie from Ajax
wrapped up his junior career over
the weekend when his Oakville
Buzz bowed out to the Akwesasne
Indians, the top team in the Jr. B
Eastern Conference, falling in four
games of their best-of-five semi-
final series. While the 21 year old
walked off the floor for the final
time as a junior following the loss,
he wasn’t alone.
That’s when the emotion hit.
“One of the things we wanted to
focus on this year was having no
regrets, especially going into those
final couple of games,” he says. “We
gave it everything we had and left it
all on the floor.
“Once I got in the dressing room,
we had a lot of last-year guys, about
10, so it was over for a lot of guys. So
when you start seeing some of the
other guys it starts to get to you a
bit.”
Duffy started playing lacrosse in
Whitby, switching over to the West
Durham program once it started.
His fearless attitude in goal at the
age of six or seven, perhaps derived
from playing net in hockey as well,
earned him the keeper’s job for the
rest of his lacrosse career.
“At that age it was a rotation of
who goes in net,” he recalls. “I guess
I went in net and the coach said I
was one of the few kids that wasn’t
scared of the ball. You can’t teach
that.”
He advanced through the West
Durham minor system, played
intermediate for the Toronto Stars,
returned to West Durham to play
Jr. C with the Patriots, then moved
up to the Jr. B ranks with the Toron-
to Beaches. A trade to Oakville was
the final stop, where he enjoyed
playing for a successful organiza-
tion, was treated well from day one
and met a lot of great people, he
says.
The commute to Oakville for Fri-
day night home games for two-and-
a-half years was tricky, but made
easier by car pooling with a couple
of other local players on the team.
“We definitely racked up some
407 miles,” he quips.
In addition to box lacrosse, Duffy
also tends goal in field, playing
the past three seasons at Brock
University after graduating from
Denis O’Connor. The communica-
tions major was part of a national
championship winning team his
first year, and has advanced to the
national championship game the
past two years, only to fall short.
“At Brock it’s championship or
bust every single year,” he says of
the culture at the school as he pre-
pares for his senior season. “We’ve
got high expectations, proud alum-
ni. When you have a winning per-
centage like we do as far as national
championships go, they don’t set-
tle for less. The older guys let you
know that from day one.
“Some of the other schools look
at it as arrogance, but it’s a sense of
pride. It’s contagious once you get
there.”
As for next summer, Duffy still
has a passion to play, hoping to suit
up for the hometown Ajax Rock in
the Major Series League, but is pre-
pared to work his way up through
the ranks again.
“One of the things I found out,
losing (to Akwesasne) and feeling
like it was all over, I definitely love
the game more than I knew, so I
want to keep playing.”

In Loving Memory of
DON and BRYAN GAINER
Tragically taken too soon by an impaired driver
DON - October 12, 1950 - July 23, 2000
BRYAN - September 13, 1988 - July 23, 2000
12 years ago our world came crashing down
and stopped when we lost both of you.
Yet the world did not stop.
Slowly and painfully we have had to find our way to living
in this world together and separately, without you. We are
thankful for the loving support of many family members
and friends who have helped us along our grief journey.
Eva (wife & Mom), Sara (daughter & sister), James
(son & brother), Candace (new daughter-in-law
& sister-in-law), and the rest of our family and friends.
Don ~ Every man's life is a plan of God.
Don's friendship was an inspiration, his love a blessing.
Bryan ~ So small, so sweet, so soon.
With us for a little while, with Jesus forever.

On the run
WHITBY -- Alexander Lee of Pickering pushed him-
self to the finish line during a 9 and 10-year-old boys’
400m heat at the 2012 Ontario Hershey Finals Track
and Field Games at All Saints Catholic Secondary
School. The event was a qualifier for the North
American meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Red Sox tops in Brampton
Score three in the
seventh inning
for 4-1 win
over Whitby
BRAMPTON -- The Pickering Red Sox
junior baseball team won the Brampton
Junior Baseball Tournament.
Great pitching and timely hitting over
the weekend helped the team go unde-
feated in the tournament. The round
robin games saw the Sox beat the local
host, the Brampton Royals, 13-3 on Fri-
day night with victories on Saturday
against Richmond Hill Phoenix 7-0 and
Mississauga Southwest Twins 7-6.
The semifinal was played against a very
competitive Kitchener Panther team, but
the Sox came out on top of a 4-0 shutout.
Matt MacDonald pitched an incredible
seven innings, allowing only two hits,
This set up the final against a local rival
team, the Whitby Chiefs. This was a very
exciting game, with a 1-1 tie heading into
the seventh inning. The top of the inning
had the Red Sox putting up three runs
and then holding the Chiefs scoreless
in the bottom to take the championship
with pitcher Matt Krettek only allowing
four hits over seven innings. Both Kitch-
ener and Whitby are ranked in the top-
10 of Ontario teams.
The 19 and 20-year old players on the
Pickering team come from Ajax, Clar-
ington and Pickering. The team cur-
rently sits in fourth place with a record
of 11-4-1 in regular season play with-
in the TBA (Toronto Baseball Associa-
tion) Junior division, which is the high-
est level of baseball for 19-21 year-old
players in Ontario. The Red Sox have
also posted a very respectable tourna-
ment record, with a second place fin-
