PICKERING -- Christine LePage, property manager at the Liberty condominium, was all smiles on Aug. 10 as she showed off some of the 76 solar thermal panels installed on
the roof of the condominium.

PICKERING -- The warm summer sunshine is translating into
money in the bank for residents of one Durham condo.
At the Liberty at Discovery building on The Esplanade North
in Pickering, residents have been enjoying the benefits of solar
energy since 2005, when solar thermal panels were installed
on the roof of the building.
The project, put forward by the developers, was encouraged
by residents on the condo board, which supported the green
initiative.

Seven-month
investigation
leads to 145
criminal charges
DURHAM -- Durham Police clinched a seven-month
drug trafficking investigation Wednesday morning with
multiple arrests across the GTA.
Led by the Durham Regional Police gun and gang
enforcement unit, Project Kingfisher turned up two
loaded handguns and large quantities of cocaine, her-
oin and marijuana with a street value of more than
$430,000. The 28 search warrants police
executed on Aug. 15 also turned up
a large quantity of cash and 10 vehi-
cles.
Durham Police partnered with
the Peterborough Lakefield
Community Police Service and
the OPP biker enforcement
unit for the investigation.
Members of Toronto, Peel,
Kawartha Lakes and Hamilton
Police services helped during
the warrant processes.
Warrants were executed at 12 res-
idences in Durham, eight in Peterborough, five in
Toronto, two in Hamilton and one in Lindsay.
The 28 arrested without incident are being held for
bail hearings and face a total of 145 criminal charges.
One arrested is a full member of the Hell’s Angels and
two are prospect members, police said. Police did not
immediately release the names of the accused.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is
asked to contact DRP Guns and Gangs Unit 1-888-579-
1520 ext. 5800.
Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.durhamregional-
crimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a
cash reward of up to $2,000.

DURHAM -- Five of Durham’s 14 public beaches are
unsafe for swimming this week.
Test results from the Region of Durham for the week
of Aug. 13 flag Beaverton Beach North, Beaverton Beach
South, Kinsmen Beach in Scugog, Pickering Beach and
Thorah Centennial Park as off limits due to bacteria lev-
els.
The Region tests water at local beaches throughout
the summer and reports the findings each week.
Beaches are considered unsafe when levels of E. coli
bacteria exceed the provincial standard of 100 E. coli
per 100 ml of water.
The health department reminds local residents not
to swim in beach water for at least 48 hours after heavy
rainfall, as bacteria levels can increase due to run-off.
Water samples from Durham’s beaches are analyzed
at the Public Health Ontario Laboratory in Peterbor-
ough.

AJAX -- Police took a senior citizen into custody Mon-
day afternoon in Ajax after a distraught elderly man
threatened a caregiver with a butcher knife.
At about 1:15 p.m. on Aug. 13, police responded to
call in the Elizabeth Street and Kingston Road area of
Ajax about a verbal dispute between a man and his per-
sonal support worker. They arrived to find a man stand-
ing on the street, armed with a large butcher knife and
threatening to harm the caregiver.
An officer set up a perimeter and contained the
senior, who surrendered after a brief stand-off and was
apprehended under the Mental Health Act. No one
was physically injured. The senior was taken to a local
hospital for medical treatment and later released into
police custody for further investigation.
He faces several charges including assault with a
weapon and threatening death and was held for a bail
hearing. His name was not released by police.

AJAX -- With August days stretching before me, the work
needed to keep my garden growing has eased up.
We’ve had a few nice rainfalls, so I’m not hauling water
to water my plants and while weeds are popping up,
they’re not on the attack as they were in the spring. My
tomatoes are ripening nicely while my zucchinis still
continue to struggle with a mildew attack. I’m somewhat
resigned to it by now.
That’s one of the lessons this summer: I can hope for
the best, but Mother Nature always has the odd sur-
prise.
If you’re looking for perfection, vegetable gardening
might not be the best hobby for you as there is always
something a little awry. So, I’ve learned to accept the
problems and be grateful for what does go right.
So what’s a girl to do when everything is going relative-
ly well? Why, go visiting of course.
Rosemarie Cuffy, who is one of two co-ordinators for
the St. Andrew’s Park Garden in Ajax, recently invited me
for a tour of her garden and I decided to check it out. The
garden is located behind the seniors’ centre on Exeter
Road.
The St. Andrew’s garden is in its second summer and
it was started by the Town of Ajax. It’s located on a reju-
venated park that was once home to an under-utilized
baseball diamond. There are tall apartment buildings
nearby, giving some of the residents in the building an
opportunity to garden.
It’s quite different from my community garden in that
it’s located in an urban location and is ringed by homes.
It’s the kind of location that is easily accessible by local
gardeners, even if they don’t drive.
Rosemarie, who shares garden co-ordinating duties
with David Middleton, explained that the garden was an
instant hit.
“The people showed up in mass quantities with a huge
lineup at the door, it was like going to an Ikea sale,” she
said.
Initially there were 45 plots and the Town ended up
adding 15 more to accommodate folks. Immediately, a
waiting list started. This year, there are 10 more plots.
While the Town started the garden, many of the deci-
sions are now made by a committee of gardeners, giving
them ownership.
As for Rosemarie, she explains that she had experience
gardening with her grandfather when she was younger
and the opportunity to start her own plot brought back
a lot of great memories. She was also recovering from
depression and thought gardening would be a good way
to participate in the community.
While she showed me around the healthy garden and
we paused to admire the best efforts of some of the gar-
deners, Rosemarie explained some of the challenges of
urban gardening.
There are no boundaries surrounding the St. Andrew’s
garden and any member of the community can stroll by
and check it out. As gardeners work on their plots, they’ll
get questions or words of encouragement from passers-
by. I would guess it inspires folks to go back to their own
backyards to plant a row.
Rosemarie explained that at times plants have been
trampled by kids and there is one neighbour who believes
it’s her right to “shop” in the community garden, grab-
bing whatever produce she wants. This is apparently a
common problem in urban gardens.
As well, folks whose plots are located on the former
ball diamond have had a tougher job bringing their soil
up to scratch than those who are located in the outfield.
Iffy soil conditions are also a common problem in
urban gardens and in some cases in subdivisions the
topsoil has been removed and then replaced with a thin
layer. One Pickering resident I know dug up all kinds of
fill in her backyard including pieces of bricks when she
set to gardening.
Soil, of course, is the key to a healthy garden and as
the folks at St. Andrew’s continue to work compost and
manure into their soil every spring, the soil will steadily
improve bringing better and better yields.
Meanwhile the quick success of the Ajax garden shows
that there’s definitely a need for community gardens in
Durham.
“It’s so ironic this used to be a baseball diamond, they
built it and they came,” said Rosemarie.

PICKERING -- Residents can now enjoy a
faster, easier way to choose healthy options
when grocery shopping.
On Aug. 10 Pickering Loblaws launched
its new Guiding Stars program, a nutrition
program that offers at-a-glance nutrition-
al ratings for foods found in every store
aisle.
The program uses a rating system where
foods acquire stars for containing more
vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, whole
grains and omega-3 fats and lose stars for
containing saturated fat, trans fat, added
sodium or added sugars. Products can
earn up to three stars and the ratings are
displayed on easily identifiable shelf tags.
Foods with fewer than five calories per
serving like bottled water, tea and spices
are not rated. If a food has been rated and
has no stars, it means the product did not
meet the criteria for a Guiding Star.
“Guiding Stars has strength in its con-
sumer-friendly translation of current
dietary recommendations that are based
on science,” said Alison Duncan, professor
of human health and nutritional sciences
at the University of Guelph and a member
of the scientific advisory panel for Guiding
Stars.
“This means that consumers can rely on
the program to provide them with quick
and accurate guidance about the nutri-
tional quality of the food choices they are
making.”

Stars program, visit www.guidingstars.ca.

DURHAM -- The Durham Region health
department has confirmed a local case
of measles.
“Although measles infection in our
community is rare, the virus that causes
it still circulates,” says Regina Elliott,
with the health department.
“Individuals may be susceptible to
measles if they were born after 1970 and
have not received two doses of vaccine
that protects against measles.”
Adults born prior to 1970 are assumed
to have natural immunity to measles
and do not need to be vaccinated. It’s
recommended children get two doses
of the measles vaccine -- one at age one
and another between ages four and six.
Adults born after 1970 who only had one
dose of the measles, mumps, rubella
vaccine or do not know if they received
the second dose, should receive anoth-
er.
Measles is a highly contagious disease
caused by a virus which is spread eas-
ily from person to person through the
air when an infected person coughs or
sneezes, or by having direct contact with
nose and throat secretions.
Measles is contagious for four days
before and four days after the start of the
rash.
For more information, call the health
department at 1-800-841-2729 or visit
durham.ca.

Bicycle licences would
promote safety
To the editor:
Re: ‘Ajax earns Bicycle Friendly Commu-
nity award’, news, durhamregion.com, July
28, 2012.
Anything that increases physical activity
is commendable; cycling is a great means
to aid in fitness. Bicycles on Ajax roads are
a great idea in an attempt to increase phys-
ical activity. However, the notion that peo-
ple in the ‘burbs’ are going to pedal to work
is not feasible.
I have noticed bicycle clubs driving their
cars to the Ajax GO station, riding their
bikes around Ajax trails and roads and then
they drive their cars back home on the 401.
If bikes are to share our roads, they should
share the cost and responsibilities to oper-
ate; bring back the bicycle licence. If a bike
is involved in an accident with a motor
vehicle in Ontario the cost for injuries and
rehab are not covered by OHIP, they are
covered by the auto insurance industry.
If a cyclist rides into your car while you’re
waiting at a light and doesn’t have auto
insurance, your policy is going to respond.
The loss will be recorded in the vehi-
cle owner’s claims history. Putting bikes
on municipal roads should require a bike
licence to be sure the rules of the road are
understood and consequences outlined.
Bikes are not motorized but the rate of
speed some ride at can lead to serious inju-
ry if involved in an accident.

J ustice is more than blind
To the editor:
Re: ‘No easy fix for gun violence’, editorial
opinion, durhamregion.com, July 25, 2012.
After reading your article, I was sure the
good people of Durham would respond.
However, I’m not surprised by their
silence. It seems we live in a time of psy-
chological warfare, where the fear of retali-
ation has become the social norm.
We look to our lawmakers for answers
and resolutions, but instead we continue
to see our rights being perverted. It seems
our freedoms protect those who want to
destroy our freedoms. It is said that justice
is blind, but now it’s deaf and dumb too.

Parents are worse
than the kids
To the editor:
Re: ‘Controversy surrounds election of new
president for Ajax Minor Hockey’, sports,
durhamregion.com, July 24, 2012.
These parents are hilarious.
If they put all their energy into ensuring
that their sons and daughters receive the
best possible training, and not into whose
parent will operate the team bank account,
or have the key to the equipment room,
the kids would play better and win more
games.
The parents are worse than the kids!
All the child wants to do is play. Instead,
the board takes things personally about the
presidency of a kids’ hockey league.
The parents of most elite college players
and professional players weren’t making
local news about who got voted out or who
got voted in.
Shut up and play hockey. Go team!

Keep beer and wine
in Beer Store, LCBO
To the editor:
Re: ‘Alcohol sold in corner stores, no
thanks’, Mike Johnson column, Aug. 1, 2012.
So glad that yet again the government has
said no to beer and wine sales in corner
stores.
Having grown up in a small Quebec
town, I remember the good old days when
me and my under-aged friends were buy-
ing our beer from a corner store. You could
only ask when no other adults were in the
store and then you paid your money and
collected your beer from the back door. I’m
not proud of that now but it was a fact of
my life then.
Access to beer and wine in Ontario is
more than adequate 24/7. Yes, as my kids
tell me you can still get served using fake
ID, but there is more challenge and scru-
tiny and it is not as easy to access and for
that I am grateful.
I’m in the ‘just say no’ camp. Let’s keep
the sales right where they are -- LCBO and
Beer store.

Teacher unions, Province must find contract solution
Rhetoric is reaching a fever pitch between
the provincial government and the remain-
ing teachers’ unions in Ontario as each side
digs in on the issue of bargaining new con-
tracts.
Though Premier Dalton McGuinty’s
minority government has succeeded in
striking deals with three unions, both the
Ontario Secondary School Teachers Fed-
eration and the Elementary Teachers Fed-
eration of Ontario remain unmoved by the
Province’s pleas for cooperation as it works
to cut spending and reduce an estimated
$15-billion budget deficit.
Sam Hammond, president of the ETFO,
has compared the tactics of Premier
McGuinty’s government to those of former
premier and public education arch-villain
Mike Harris in recent months, as the tone of
discussion turns ever more negative.
But a simple review shows that the
McGuinty government, more than any
other in recent history, has put a priority on
education in the last several years. New ini-
tiatives in classrooms, labour peace among
school boards and improving student out-
comes during this government’s tenure
cannot be argued.
Nor can it be argued that the Province
should ignore its bulging deficit; it must act
wherever and whenever it can to balance
the government’s books. In that context,
teachers and other public sector workers
must be willing to do some belt-tightening,
much like private sector employees who
have forgone raises, seen benefit reduc-
tions or otherwise accepted concessions in
recent years.
Absent any meaningful negotiations --
both the government and the remaining
unions must be willing to meet their obliga-
tions on this score -- Premier McGuinty has
indicated his government will introduce
legislation to impose a new contract on the
remaining teacher unions.
Should that legislation be introduced and
declared as a confidence motion, all bets
would essentially be off.
In that context, union leadership must
take a longer view. Some short-term pain
with the two-year wage freeze the premier
seeks is surely more palatable than the
uncertainty a snap election would result in.
A willingness to compromise on both
sides, and toned-down rhetoric, could
encourage the breakthrough that is needed
to bring this to a mutually agreeable conclu-
sion. In the meantime, the apparent game
of brinkmanship that is unfolding doesn’t
really serve anyone, least of all Ontario stu-
dents.
To both the premier and the union lead-
ership of the OSSTF and ETFO: be careful
what you wish for.

“I’m surprised that with the whole
focus on being green in society, we’re
the only high-rise building in Durham
with solar panels,” said Michelle Kerkos,
president of the building’s condo
board, noting the monetary savings are
passed on to residents annually through
reduced condo fees.
“There are buildings that went up
after us that have no solar panels, which
surprises me, I would think every new
building should include these. We want
to encourage other people to look at ret-
rofitting and definitely new buildings
going up to consider sustainable energy
in their building plans.”
The panels reduce the need for natu-
ral gas by using solar energy to heat the
building’s water, during cloudy periods
the system switches to gas.
The unit, which cost more than
$200,000, recently reached its pay-back
date of 6.5 years, meaning the system
was paid for fully through energy sav-
ings within that time.
“I haven’t met a resident yet who’s not
proud to show off the fact their building
is energy-efficient,” said Christine LeP-
age, property manager for the building.
“I strongly encourage any developer,
whether in Durham or wherever, to look
at solar panels because the sun is here
forever and we should make use of it.”
The building’s green reputation is also
proving beneficial in other areas, with
young people clamoring to buy units at
the building.
“It’s unique because when people start-
ed moving in it was mostly seniors, now
the people moving in are a lot younger,”
Ms. LePage said, explaining she thinks
the solar panels help attract a younger
crowd.
“I often hear real estate agents point-
ing it out to clients as they’re walking
through the lobby,” she continued.
“It’s what young people want to see,
it’s the way of the future.”

Mad Hatter’s tea party in Pickering
PICKERING -- Jehren Watts worked on a hat during the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, held
at the Pickering Central Library, Aug. 9.
Donations of school
supplies sought
for area children
PICKERING -- Students can squeeze in a lit-
tle more fun before heading back to school
with the Pickering Town Centre’s Rock the
Lock contest.
Until Aug. 22, students can win prizes
and gift certificates valued at $50 or more
daily. The prizes will be hidden inside six
lockers located at centre court; three for
girls and three for boys. To get a combina-
tion that might open the locker contestants
must send a text to 76000. Once teens have
received a combination, they can come to
the mall and try their combination on the
lockers for a chance to win what’s inside.
“We wanted to create a fun and excit-
ing contest that students can participate in
before hitting the book,” said Lorna Mur-
phy, marketing director of the Pickering
Town Centre.
“Rock the Lock allows them to use their
texting skills to try to get the right combi-
nation that will unlock one of the prizes.
What makes the contest so engaging is the
fact many of our retailers have generously
donated prizes that will appeal to kids and
teens.”
Contestants can enter once per day and
all 26 daily winners will be invited back on
Aug. 29 for a chance to win one of two grand
prizes, two tickets to the Justin Bieber con-
cert at Rogers Centre on Dec. 1 or a third
generation iPad. Daily giveaways include
prizes from H and M, Footlocker, Garage,
Rogers Wireless, Sport Check, Pickering
Town Centre and more.
Pickering Town Centre is also accepting
donations for its annual School Supply Drive
to benefit area school children whose fami-
lies have a hard time providing their kids
with the supplies they need for the school
year. Over the past 13 years, the centre has
partnered with the United Way to ask shop-
pers to make donations of pencils, crayons,
pencil crayons, scissors, loose-leaf paper,
lined and blank notebooks, binders, rulers,
glue sticks, erasers, lunch cases, calculators
and backpacks. Items can be placed in one
of the three large backpack donation boxes
in the mall.
“Last year, with help from United Way,
over 40,000 school supplies were collected,
providing back-to-school kits to over 3,500
local schoolchildren and their families,” Ms.
Murphy said. “We hope to do even better
this year thanks to the generous support of
our shoppers, retailers and local agencies.”

There are many reasons why homeowners renovate and one important consideration is the return on investment. Macerating toilet systems, like those by Saniflo (Saniflo.ca), are a great option for homeowners looking to maximize their return on a bathroom addition because of their comparatively low installation costs. Saniflo's macerating toilet systems can be installed on top of any finished floor, eliminating the need for excavation or building a raised floor to install a drain line, as required by systems using a sewage ejector. The small-bore discharge piping can easily be installed and concealed inside existing walls. Saniflo's “up-flush” technology permits home or building owners to create a new bathroom wherever it is most convenient: in a basement, attic, garage, under the
stairs or inside a newly remodeled space. Macerating technology is a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution for both residential and commercial bathroom applications. The systems use a fast-rotating blade to liquefy waste and toilet paper in the flush water, which is then discharged under pressure through small-bore piping to a drainage line or soil stack. Saniflo products are made for multiple fixtures including toilets, sinks, bathtubs and/or showers, maximizing homeowners' return on investment anywhere in the home. Saniflo is the leader in macerating toilet systems; its parent company, SFA Group in Paris, France, developed macerating technology nearly half a century ago and led its commercialization over the following decades. SFA began
selling these unique plumbing fixtures in Europe in 1958, expanding the line internationally in 1965 and entering the North American market in the late 1980s. Saniflo Canada offers a complete line of macerating toilet systems and gray water pumping systems for residential and commercial applications. Saniflo products are available at plumbing wholesalers and hardware retailers located throughout the country. More information on these toilet systems is available online at www.saniflo.ca or toll-free at 1-800-363-5874. www.newscanada.com
As summer draws to a close and we complete our outdoor clean up, thoughts turn indoors to all the projects put on the backburner before the weather drew us outdoors. Fall is the perfect time for quick and easy makeovers. Take a look at a few tips on this topic from home décor specialists, Velux:
Choose an accent wall and apply a bold new colour, a dramatic wall covering, or textured paint to draw the eye and provide an exciting back-drop to the living or dining area. As an alternative to paint and wallpaper, the new Velux blinds collection by designer Karim Rashid incorporate fun, bright patterned shades for an instant room makeover while blocking out light. Choose vibrant pink, acid
yellow or soon-to-be classic black and white designs. The new patterns complement contemporary homes and have decorative metallic details creating a vivid texture and quick design change-up for any room with a skylight. The Rashid collection gives you full control of light and provides the best total blackout for both day and night. Perfect for afternoon naps, blackout blinds are ideal for installing in bedrooms where the tight-fitting blinds prevent any light from entering the room. Design options are available at www.veluxblinds.ca.
Finally, illuminate your home with natural daylight by dropping in a sun tunnel with the designer Lovegrove lamp. Using the sun as
a bulb, award-winning industrial designer Ross Lovegrove has created a sustainable alternative to electric lighting that generates as much light as a traditional 60W electric bulb, even on cloudy days. A simple, stylish
way to transform your space with daylight, you can adjust the light's intensity and angle for a result that will beautify any interior.

A message from
Durham Tourism
KERRI KING
Feel like getting away without going too far
from home? Durham Region’s local bed and
breakfast establishments provide the perfect
outlet to relax and reconnect with nature.
Enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and the
one-of-a-kind experience that only a B and
B can offer. After a long day of hiking, cycling
or golfing, retire to a quiet B and B to rest
and recharge in your own private room. The
next morning, enjoy a homemade breakfast
and take in the beautiful scenery of Durham
Region -- what a perfect weekend getaway.
Durham Region’s collection of B and Bs is
as diverse as its landscapes and geography. If
you’re seeking a secluded waterfront cottage,
a historic log cabin or a garden setting for per-
fect photos, you’ll find it here.
Clarington is home to many B and Bs, all
offering unique experiences. There is the
Model A Bed and Breakfast in Bowmanville,
where vintage cars and replica planes dot the
picturesque grounds. Our Valley View Bed
and Breakfast, in Enniskillen, boasts one of
the best views in Durham Region and offers
quiet serenity to relieve even the busiest of
lifestyles. The Stone Coach House B and B in
Bowmanville is a more modern escape, offer-
ing gourmet breakfasts, luxury linens and a
spectacular property with a 40-foot inground
pool. The Hamptons Bed and Breakfast in
Newcastle offers a tranquil getaway with
a waterfall and koi pond on its grounds. If
equine is your thing, visit Kendal Hills Coun-
try Vacations in Orono for country hospitality
for you and your horse. And for the ultimate
wildlife adventure, stay the night at the Safari
Lodge at Jungle Cat World, which offers deca-
dent lodging at the zoo.
In Uxbridge, head to Lavender Cottage Bed
and Breakfast. This 1820s log home from
Quebec offers comfortable beds and gour-
met breakfasts. It’s also close to the Thomas
Foster Memorial, Lucy Maud Montgomery
historic sites, golfing and the many winding
trails that Uxbridge offers.
In Brock, you’ll find comfortable rooms and
country hospitality at The Haven Bed and
Breakfast in Beaverton. Catering to romantic
getaways, The Haven is the perfect escape for
busy parents to enjoy some quiet time.
To enjoy the pristine view of Lake Scugog
over your morning tea and coffee, plan a visit
to Lakeshore Bed and Breakfast in Port Perry.
Located within walking distance of the down-
town shops of Port Perry, you’ll enjoy friendly
hospitality and a great breakfast at this unique
B and B.
In Oshawa, plan a stay at the Anderson
House Bed and Breakfast, which features four
beautifully appointed guest rooms with pri-
vate ensuites complemented by delightful
country breakfasts.

During these tough economic times,
businesses need an affordable way to advertise
their products and services and create a name for
themselves in the community.
The Focus on Business advertising
feature was designed to help businesses succeed
at an affordable price. The feature has five
zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and
Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in
any number of them. If they want to target a
specific area, they can choose one zone or if they
want broad coverage they can choose to run in
all five.
Advertising packages are available for
six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks,
and discounted rates are available for longer-
term commitments.
“I have nothing but good things to
say about the Focus on Business feature,” says
Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows
and Doors, who has been advertising in the
feature for 15 years.
Having an ad in the newspaper every
week helps businesses build recognition. Readers
who see the advertisement on a regular basis
become familiar with the business. Running in
the section long term shows potential customers
that the business is consistent and is there for the
long term.
The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5”
deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that
comes with each six week run.
The articles will talk in-depth about the
business and can include a photograph or image.
Many advertisers find that the articles provide
a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles
allow readers to learn more about the businesses,
including detailed information about the products
and services they offer.
Many advertisers have seen a dramatic
increase in their bottom line because of advertising
in the section.
For more information on the Focus on
Business feature or to book an ad, please call
Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or
email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

A day on the links for charity
AJAX -- Cam Murkar watched his tee shot during Joe Dickson’s 19th annual Ajax-
Pickering-Whitby-Oshawa Charity Golf Tournament in support of local shelters and
food banks at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility recently. More than 200 golfers
took part, which organizers say is considered the largest in Durham Region.
Nursing hours
will be dedicated to
ambulance patients
DURHAM -- Emergency rooms through-
out Durham Region will see more dedi-
cated nursing hours as part of a provincial
plan to improve access to emergency ser-
vices.
Durham will be receiving $463,360 in
2012/2013, translating to 8,760 dedicated
nursing hours in area emergency rooms
to care for patients who arrive by ambu-
lance.
By providing dedicated care to patients
who arrive by ambulance, the nurses will
help reduce the time paramedics spend in
hospital emergency rooms, allowing them
to respond to other calls within the com-
munity and creating faster ambulance
response times.
“We’re providing better emergency care
by funding new nurses who are dedicated
to helping patients arriving by ambulance
in our hospitals,” said Tracy MacCharles,
MP for Pickering-Scarborough East. “This
means patients will get the care they need
while allowing paramedics and ambulanc-
es to respond to other emergency calls.”
The funding is part of an ongoing provin-
cial program to improve access to emer-
gency services, which has resulted in the
funding of 915,113 nursing hours dedi-
cated to patients who arrive by ambulance
since 2008.

Thirty hours of country
music proves to be a
winner for Durham
One down and can’t wait until next year. I’m about recov-
ered from a 30-plus-hour weekend at the first Boots and
Hearts Country Music Festival at Clarington’s Canadian
Tire Motorsport Park.
The music was fantastic: Kid Rock? Sensational. Lionel Richie?
A real treat. And it was nice to see local talents The Stone Sparrows
from Clarington, Uxbridge’s Leah Daniels and Brooklin’s Lindsay
Broughton on the bill.
I’ll be honest. When I arrived at the venue Friday morning, with
an absolutely dismal weather weekend in the forecast, I had my
doubts about the event’s success. It didn’t pour rain all weekend,
however there were torrential downpours at times that threatened
to spoil the mood. They didn’t and, out of the many pictures pho-
tographer Sabrina Byrnes filed over the weekend, one sticks out
where the weather is concerned. I’ll set it up: Friday night, Aug. 10.
Big and Rich are due on stage at 7:15 but they’re late. And it starts
raining -- hard. I’m in front of the main stage in a long raincoat and
my rubber boots. All I need is a meat hook to look like the killer
in I Know What You Did last Summer. And there are two young
women, in cowboy hats and rain ponchos, laughing with a friend.
What rain?
The best part of the weekend was easily the people. Like the
super-friendly Byrd family from Ennismore. And the dancing
machine, Anita Porter from Pickering (“I’m calling security,” I
joked with her). She was there with her guy, Juergen Klingohr, and
friends Ted and Kathy McNally from Ajax. Not knowing what to
expect, they arrived in their RV on the Wednesday.
“It’s a little bit claustrophobic (in the RV), but we love our neigh-
bours,” Porter said Sunday night.
“Everybody is just really nice, down-to-earth people. And that’s
what makes it so much fun.”
Kathy McNally summed up the weekend nicely, how the weath-
er didn’t ruin Boots and Hearts. She said a friend had recently died
and said this in a last letter to friends.
“‘Life is not waiting for the storm to pass. Life is learning how to
dance in the rain’.” “And last night,” McNally said, “I danced in the
rain.” Many others did, too.
Event producer Shannon McNevan of Republic Live, in the midst
of an insanely busy weekend for him, gave us a bit of time to shoot
a video interview Sunday. His voice was almost gone and he was
running on empty. But McNevan was clearly pleased and relieved
that everything had gone so well. Remember, he’d never put on a
music festival before.
Well done, and thanks. Now who are you bringing to Boots and
Hearts 2013?

The Vindico,
published this year,
could become major
motion picture
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Oshawa resident Wesley
King’s first choice of career was Jedi war-
rior.
He’d seen Return of the Jedi as a kid, and
saw it again and again, ultimately more
than 100 times.
But while that job wasn’t in the cards
for the “big-time” science-fiction buff,
the 25 year old, who was born in Ajax and
grew up in Whitby, had another career in
mind.
“I always wanted to be a writer,” he says.
“It was something I did from a very young
age.”
After obtaining a journalism degree
from Carleton University, where he took
a fiction-writing course, King says for the
first time he thought to himself, ‘I can
actually do it’.
He wrote a book but, like many first-
time writers, it was “rejected quite a few
times.”
King has had much more success with
his young adult, science-fiction novel,
The Vindico, part of a six-book series of
the same name.
Not only has it been published by G.P
Putnam’s Sons, a division of Penguin
Young Readers Group, The Vindico has
also attracted “significant interest” from
Paramount and Universal and it could
become a motion picture.
He explains that he wrote “a random
chapter” about two villains talking abut
torturing a hero and decided to expand
it into a growing-up series. The premise
is five teens are kidnapped by a league of
world-class villains, The Vindico (‘ven-
geance’ in Latin, he notes), and taken to
a remote location where they are prom-
ised super powers -- if they join the
league, which is at odds with the League
of Heroes.
“It’s these five kids; they are from dif-
ferent social backgrounds and they come
together,” King says. “A lot of the humour
is how they interact.”
The first five chapters are devoted to the
teens’ individual abduction stories.
One of the main themes in the book is
“the grey area between good and evil,”
where the good guys aren’t completely
good and the bad guys aren’t totally bad.
Another is how the teens use or don’t use
the powers they have.
King says he writes quickly and the sec-
ond book in the series, The Feros, will be
released next June. He’s also written the
first two books in another series and a
screenplay.
It’s the editing that takes time, with King
saying The Vindico was largely written in
three-and-a-half weeks but the polishing
took a year and a half.
“I try to treat (writing) as a job,” he says,
noting when he’s working on a book he
spends eight to 10 hours a day writing.
King has been reading from the book
at libraries and schools across the GTA,
including in Whitby.
Chosen by the Junior Library Guild in
the U.S., his novel is in school libraries
across the States. Next month he’s slated
to do book-signing appearances in New
York City.
Check out the website, www.thevindico.
com.
Follow him on twitter @The_Vindico,
and visit the Facebook page, www.face-
book.com/thevindico.
The Vindico is available at Chapters,
Indigo, Coles and all online retailers.

After Tesla plugged into a global power
source free to all, his financial backer, J.P.
Morgan, reportedly pulled the plug, say-
ing if electricity is free to all where do you
put the meter? How does one get paid, in
short.
Music has become this new ether, if it
is available for free all the time anywhere.
Why pay?
How does one make people pay? Put a
meter in the form of a wall around a place,
fill it with awesomeness and charge at the
entrance? Closed spaces in the form of
festivals, concerts, bars and clubs? Pick a
space, add a gatekeeper. Done deal?
Not so much.
I know. I’ve been curating the Ziggy
(POP) Thursdays at Murphy’s Pub since
May. Build it and they will come is the Hol-
lywood fantasy. Nope. Build it and wait
and wait and wait. But build it for a new
crowd while you wait. The old crowd has
their own circles. The old fans have their
bands and their routines. Build it for new
fans. It takes time and work and effort to
build a base of fans ready to pony up a
buck or two. It is a long haul. Ask the hosts
of the open mics in the area, ask the Bro-
ken Arts kats. It takes time to build. Years.
So if you intend to meter the music then
you best have something new in mind and
not just new acts. Nope, a new space, a new
vibe, a new environment. In fact, now that
I think of it, the environment is the key.
Live music is not being sold at a gig, the
environment is, the experience of the gig
is being sold. The music is free. The space
itself is what you are bringing people into.
My advice to anyone wanting to charge
for music is to pull a Jobs and take con-
trol of the whole enterprise. From door to
lights to stage to staff to music to merchan-
dise, know it all, own it all. Know the space
and own the space if you can.
I look at the success of Oshawa’s Canada
Day and think of the failure of the Memori-
al Bandshell. The bandshell has too many
uncontrollable factors. Oshawa’s parks and
rec department had a vision for the space
itself. As did the organizers of Boots And
Hearts in Bowmanville, and Hillside and
Mariposa and River and Sky.
So if you are going to charge for music,
don’t. Charge for place. Build something
awesome from scratch. Don’t try and wig-
gle it into something already existing. It
won’t fit. You will compromise the experi-
ence and it will fail.
If you want music to pay the bills it will
need its own space. By extension if you
want culture to pay the bills it will need
its own space. Don’t force it on folks who
don’t want it or into places it doesn’t fit.
Build it a space, make it awesome and
then and only then install the meter. This
applies to concerts, museums, newspa-
pers, vinyl or cities, all and any real culture
spaces. Make them awesome ... and then
they will come.

writer and longtime Oshawa resident.

BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- There isn’t just one reason why
Ajax FC is one of the most successful soc-
cer programs in the country when it comes
to sending its players to the university level
in Canada and the United States.
It’s a little more complex than that.
The source of success can be pinned
on the club’s head coach, Tom Croft, and
its technical director, Richard Hirst, who
have put their 20-plus years of experience
each to good use. They know what works,
and admittedly by learning through past
mistakes, the rights and wrongs of the pro-
cess.
But ask Croft what lies behind the suc-
cess, and he’s quick to spread the praise
around.
“No. 1 would be our coaches,” he says
without hesitation, citing the experience
and dedication of the staff. “I would put
our group of coaches up against any group
of coaches in the country.”
This year, more than 30 players from the
organization will be continuing to play soc-
cer at a university in Canada or the United
States. In 2011, 27 players were placed on
US scholarships, with more than 80 going
the same route in the past decade. Those
numbers don’t include players who stay in
the country to play for Canadian universi-
ties.
Croft offers guidance for the boys, Hirst
the girls, for the club’s college-bound pro-
gram. It’s an extremely detailed process,
but not one that’s overly complicated
when you strip it down to the core. It’s sim-
ple really. The secret? They have a plan.
“What separates our program from
everybody else’s is that we have a plan just
for the scholarship athletes,” says Croft.
If you want to go right back to the grass-
roots of the program, it begins with the
U7 and U8 development plan, teaching
kids techniques, followed as they prog-
ress through the association by positional
play, then team tactics and systems, with
fitness also a key element in the older age
groups.
As players get older and start to enter-
tain the thought of playing at the universi-
ty level, the program intensifies. This year
the program has 130 players committed to
it.
Croft says the process includes the whole
family getting involved. What the club pro-
vides is guidance and direction. How the
recruitment process works is explained,
how to contact coaches, what to say, how
to choose a university. Ajax FC has devel-
oped 10 questions players should ask
themselves in regards to geographic loca-
tion of a particular university, do they play
on grass or turf, what courses are offered,
what costs are involved.
“If the school you are looking at only
gets three out of 10 questions, then you
are probably looking at the wrong school,”
offers Croft of the decision-making pro-
cess.
The club holds seminars in regards to
nutrition and fitness, and alumni return to
share their experiences. SAT preparation
courses also help players. It takes more
than just a strong skill set on the field to
impress recruiters, notes Croft.
“One of our key things is that Canadian
and US schools are looking for student ath-
letes. Not athletic students. So you have to
get the academic part right first. Then you
can deal with the soccer part.”
The teams travel to showcase tourna-
ments that provide the best exposure as
well, with New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Massachusetts and Indiana just some of
the destinations. At the tournaments, staff
distributes brochures and individual play-
er profiles to those who inquire.
To celebrate the success, the club holds a
National Letter of Intent banquet to recog-
nize the players moving on from the pro-
gram.
Needless to say, the room is generally
full to capacity.

Dolphins

the finals
Junior OV team
beats Kingston
41-16 in semifinals
DURHAM -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol-
phins Junior OV Team met the Kingston
Grenadiers in the semifinal on the week-
end, winning handily 41-16.
The Dolphins were in great form as
they invaded the Grenadiers territory
and rushed through their defence for five
touchdowns and two field goals.
Leading the offence was one of the best
quarterbacks in the league, Raishaun
Provo, who threw for a total of 163 yards
and two touchdowns. Provo also ran for
a 40-yard touchdown. Running back Jor-
dan Grimes was on top of his game as
he rushed for 158 yards and two touch-
downs. Running back Trey Humes also
rushed for 104 yards while running back
George Goudogianis and wide receiver
Tevin Lawrence both scored touchdowns
as well.
Providing some great defensive plays
were Trey White, Alonzo Addae, Sharlon
Smith, Trevaughn James, Kesean Ben-
nett, Yasean Steitieh, Matthew Prusin,
Adrian Price, Matthew Williams and
James Yoshida.
The Dolphins will play the Mississau-
ga Warriors in the finals on Aug. 18 at
3:30 p.m. at the Oshawa Civic Centre.
The Dolphins COMFL tryouts continue.
Coaches are still encouraging more play-
ers to come and try out for the atom, pee-
wee, and bantam level teams. Visit www.
Dolphinsfootball.ca or call the Dolphins
hotline at 905-999-7657 for information.
Durham Region soccer team,
mountain bikers competing
at Ontario Summer Games
VAUGHAN -- The Ontario Summer Games in
Toronto will have a soccer team and mountain bike
riders competing over the weekend.
The Ajax FC U15 Red boys open their tourna-
ment on Friday against the Mississauga Panthers
97A, while Emily Thomas and Aaron Thomas, of
Pickering, and Gillian Hague of Whitby will com-
pete in mountain biking in Albion Hills.
In soccer, teams in the under 15 boys’ Tier 1
and under 15 girls’ divisions will compete for both
the Ontario Cup trophy and the Ontario Summer
Games gold medal.
Being held this year in Toronto, the Ontario
Summer Games will have almost 2,500 athletes
participating in 28 different sports.
Ajax’s Campbell strong
despite loss by Canada
GURABO, PUERTO RICO -- Taijah Campbell of
Ajax had a strong outing in Canada’s opening
game of the FIBA Americas U18 championship.
Canada had a difficult time scoring in the
second half which led to their loss against Brazil
56-46.
Campbell, a Pickering High School grad
who will enter Virginia Tech as a freshman in the
fall, scored six points and added a team-high 11
rebounds in the loss.
In the opening quarter Canada came out
strong. Canada opened the game on a 14-2 run to
gain the upper hand over Brazil. Canada finished
the quarter with the 19-8 lead. In the second, Bra-
zil was able to claw back into the game by going
on a 12-2 run to close out the half. Canada still
owned the 31-24 lead at the half.
Brazil was able to carry over the momentum
from the second quarter, ending the third quar-
ter with the 38-36 advantage. Brazil’s defensive
intensity didn’t let up, as Canada was not able to
make a late fourth-quarter push. Brazil went on an
11-0 run to build their lead to 51-39, which gave
Canada a tough task to come back from. Canada
did not help themselves as they shot 6-for-16 from
the free throw line and only scored 15 points in the
entire second half.
Pickering’s Moonlight named
to Canadian rugby roster
DURHAM -- Canada has named a star-studded
men’s 7s squad packed with international experi-
ence for the 2012 North American and Caribbean
Rugby Association Rugby 7s championship, the
2013 Rugby 7s World Cup regional qualifier, in
Ottawa.
Among those named to the team is Pickering
native John Moonlight, who now lives in Brit-
ish Columbia. Moonlight, a graduate of Dunbar-
ton High School, is a veteran with the Canadian
squad. Among the most recent highlights was win-
ning a gold medal in November 2011 at the Pan
American Games in Mexico. Canada beat Argen-
tina 26-24 in the championship game.
All 12 members of the squad have played on
the IRB world 7s circuit in the last year.
The squad has been training hard in Victoria,
BC and arrives in Ottawa on Aug. 22, before the
tournament begins on Saturday, Aug. 25 at Twin
Elm Rugby Park.
The top two men’s sides from the NACRA
tournament will qualify for the 2013 Rugby World
Cup Seven in Moscow, Russia next June.
Canada and the United States will be the
favourites at the regional tournament.
Ridgebacks sign local players
OSHAWA -- Marlin Muylaert has added eight
new faces he hopes will help take the UOIT
Ridgebacks to the next level this coming sea-
son.
All eight players are forwards and several
already have deep connections through Dur-
ham Region. Committing to UOIT next sea-
son will be former OHL players Colt Kennedy
and Jordan Ramsay of Ajax, Connor Tresh-
am of Toronto and Daniel Pachis of Whitby,
alongside OJHL standouts Cam Yuill of Wel-
lington, Kyle McLaughlin of Pickering, James
Diminie of Cobourg and Jeremy Beresh of
Hamilton.
“We are very happy with the group of for-
wards who have committed to play for us
this season,” said Muylaert in a press release.
“Collectively this group is a great skating
bunch with good skill set and will very much
enhance our lineup.”
Kennedy was highly sought after follow-
ing an excellent minor hockey career in Ajax-
Pickering, as evidenced by the fact he was
selected with the 12th pick of the first round
by the Sarnia Sting in the 2007 OHL draft.
Over parts of the next four seasons he played
for the Sting, Barrie Colts and Kingston Fron-
tenacs before finishing out his junior career
playing tier II with Kingston and junior B
with the Thorold Blackhawks.
Tresham, meanwhile, is the second mem-
ber of the Woodstock Slammers to commit to
the Ridgebacks, joining blueliner Jake Logan.
Last year Tresham scored 33 goals and 31
assists in 50 games for Woodstock.
Pachis, another former OHL first rounder,
16th overall by the Saginaw Spirit in 2007,
joins the fold after closing out his junior
career as a member of the Markham Waxers
following stops with the Pickering Panthers
and his hometown Whitby Fury.
Pachis spent parts of three seasons in the
OHL with the Spirt and Oshawa Generals
before heading to the tier II ranks.
McLaughlin, a Pickering native, spent four
seasons in the OJHL with the Aurora Tigers
and Stouffville Spirit. He had his career-best
season in 2010-11, recording 47 points in
46 games played. He spent his final season
in the league as a teammate with Pachis in
Markham, but played just 15 games due to
injury.
Yuill joins the Ridgebacks off four success-
ful seasons with the Wellington Dukes, where
he helped the club to a 2011 Dudley Hewitt
Cup title and earned a reputation as one of
the league’s top penalty killers.
In Diminie the Ridgebacks get a player who
spent five years playing for his hometown
Cobourg Cougars, suiting up in 244 regu-
lar season and playoff games, recording 156
points including 58 goals.
Beresh, meanwhile, adds some versatil-
ity to the lineup, having played both forward
and defence in the past. He closed out his
junior career last season playing 44 games for
the Huntsville Otters.
