City staff was on the beach at 6 a.m. as they cleaned up from weekend activities. Ron Pietroniro / MetrolandPickering cuts down on beach debris Daily staffing, Monday ‘blitzes’ address concerns Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Early on a muggy Monday morning, Pickering’s Beachfront Park is largely deserted save for a few dog walkers -- and staff from the City of Pickering dili- gently cleaning the sand. Between May and September, City employees are stationed here seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. to pick up garbage, groom the beach, maintain washrooms and liaise with the public. It’s a proactive approach that has paid off in terms of keeping the beach free of weekend party debris, a common source of complaints in other Durham communities. “We’re here a lot and I don’t see much garbage. Maybe one or two things on the ground here or there,” says Kathy Liddell, who reg- ularly takes her collie named Beau to the waterfront for early morning walks. Also pleased was Erin Taggart, who can often be found taking her 14-month-old daughter for a stroll along the boardwalk. “It’s definitely clean here com- pared with other places. I don’t have to worry about stepping on glass or letting my daughter out of the stroller if she wants to try walk- ing a bit,” she says.

Mr. Ashe, 81, died Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Village of Taunton Mills in Whitby after a lengthy struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Pickering Ward 1 Councillor Kevin Ashe remembers his father as “a get-things-done kind of guy.” It was Mr. Ashe’s public service that rubbed off on Kevin, he said, noting he remembers his father being elected an MPP in 1977 and politics has been “in the blood since then.” “As a family, we’ve all been very involved in the community. Dad was involved in politics before we moved to Durham,” Kevin Ashe said. COMMUNITYNA PICKERINGNews Adver tiser Full story, page 5 ®TM Trademarks of AIR MILES International Trading B.V.

Dr. Eamer, who grew up next to a Mohawk reservation, explained lan- guages become extinct over time as their speakers shift to using a language with greater political and economic power, such as English. “It’s a response to colonialism and glo- balization,” said Dr. Eamer. “But colo- nialism is where it really started.” She’s teamed up with Marilyn Shirt, dean of indigenous language at Blue Quills First Nations College in Alberta. They hope to obtain federal funding in order to put a plan into action, one that will offer certification courses for elders so they can teach their languages online through video conferencing. “We’re just hoping for a small pilot project because she’s got the speakers and we’ve got the technology and video conferencing know-how and the peda- gogy in the faculty of education,” she said. Dr. Eamer finds elders are the most flu- ent in their languages, but don’t usually have teaching experience. Also, the dis- tance that students might have to trav- el in order to learn from an elder could pose a problem. “We’re working on ways to get elders technology training, some language pedagogy training and being able to reach across time and space and teach the language to people without people having to travel,” she said. This is one of many ways that people are using technology to keep languages alive today. “I think indigenous groups began to recognize that we are all using devic- es to accomplish our goals in various ways,” said Dr. Eamer. “We’re all walking around plugged into something.” This signalled a shift in thinking so language learning could become porta- ble. “There are video games, cellphone apps, iPhone apps, dictionaries online,” said Dr. Eamer. For example, one video game, Rez- World, only allows the user to advance once they speak with a character in the game using the Cherokee language. Dr. Eamer will find out in 2015 if she too will help keep languages stay alive through technology. DURHAM -- Dr. Allyson Eamer, a professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, hopes to help First Nations languages continue with a program that will help elders teach their native tongue to students via video conferencing.

Police Distracted driving blitz leads to dozens of charges in Ajax DURHAM -- A four-day police blitz target- ing distracted drivers in Ajax saw more than 100 drivers charged, most of them for using their cellphones while at the wheel. Officers targeted the busy intersection of Salem and Kingston roads July 8-9 and 29-30, laying a total of 121 charges -- 111 of them for using a hand-held device while driving, Durham police said. Three charg- es of driving while under suspension were also laid.

Citizen tips cops to Ajax theft suspect Durham officer arrests Pickering man at gunpoint; faces several charges AJAX -- A citizen’s call about suspicious activity has led to the arrest of a suspect in several Ajax thefts. Durham police got a call at about 7:15 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, after a resi- dent in the vicinity of Harwood Avenue and Gorton Road saw a young man hid- ing a dirt bike. The citizen told cops the man appeared to be discarding items from a large bag he was carrying. An officer arrived to find a man taking items out of a hockey bag and tossing them onto the ground. When the sus- pect reached for a knife in a sheath on his hip, the officer arrested him at gun- point, police said. The man was found to be in posses- sion of a number of items, including sunglasses, cellphones, keys, gift cards and women’s hockey equipment, stolen from vehicles and one residence in the Brooksbank Crescent and Clover Ridge Drive neighbourhood. Some of the property has been returned to rightful owners, police said. Kyle MacDonald, 27, of Rosefield Road in Pickering, faces several charg- es including theft, possession of sto- len property, and weapons posses- sion.

Durham cops allege suspect forced women into prostitution Toronto man faces several charges, including human trafficking DURHAM -- Human trafficking charges have been laid against a man accused of forcing young women to work as prosti- tutes in Durham Region. Durham police investigating human trafficking identified a suspect through ads for escort services in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and elsewhere in the GTA, and earlier this week obtained an arrest war- rant. The man was located at a Pickering car rental agency and arrested Thursday afternoon, police said. A search of the man’s Scarborough home led to the seizure of drugs includ- ing crack cocaine, heroin and marijua- na, police said. O’Neil Thompson, 30, of Glamorgan Avenue, Toronto, is charged with human trafficking, assault, drug possession and other offences.

Mr. Ashe, 81, died Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Village of Taunton Mills in Whitby after a lengthy struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Kevin Ashe remembers his father as “a get-things-done kind of guy.” It was Mr. Ashe’s public service that rubbed off on Kevin, he said, noting he remembers his father being elected an MPP in 1977 and politics has been “in the blood since then.” Kevin Ashe is the Ward 1 City Councillor in Pickering, and prior to that was a long- time trustee on the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board. “As a family, we’ve all been very involved in the community. Dad was involved in politics before we moved to Durham,” Kevin Ashe said. George Ashe became involved in pub- lic service in Nepean, serving as an alder- man. When the family moved to Pickering, Mr. Ashe continued his public service, when he was elected deputy reeve of Pickering Township in 1969 and then elected the first mayor of the Town of Pickering in 1973. George Ashe served as mayor until 1977, when he was elected MPP for Durham West riding. He was appointed to cabinet as the minister of revenue in 1981 by then- premier Bill Davis. A subsequent cabinet posting in the Davis government saw Mr. Ashe become minister of government services. When Frank Miller replaced Mr. Davis, who retired, as premier, Mr. Ashe served as minister of energy and then chairman of the management board. After leaving the legislature, Mr. Ashe concluded his public service as a Catholic school trustee in Clarington. “He was a hard worker, but a quiet guy. He didn’t seek the spotlight,” Kevin Ashe said. “He did his work. His work ethic reflected the ministries he headed.” Those ministries weren’t the type that got headlines, but were important to the government, he noted. Kevin Ashe also remembers his father as “a great dad. There were four kids and we were blessed with loving parents.” His mother Margaret, also known as Margo, died in January. “They really provided for us at home. Mom was part of Dad’s political life. She was the best politician at home anyway,” he said. All flags at City of Pickering facilities will be flown at half-mast to recognize George Ashe’s contribution to the community. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of George Ashe,” Mayor Dave Ryan said in a statement. “While history books will rec- ognize him as Pickering’s very first mayor, we will remember him as both a dear friend and proud community leader.” Mr. Ashe is survived by children Steven of Pickering, Cheryl (Erwin) of Uxbridge, Kevin (Karen) of Pickering, and Brian (Susan) of Michigan, grandchildren Andrea (Kevin), Matthew (Krista), and Eric (Tara) Hinzel, Tori and Tyler Ashe and their mother Katie. He was great- grandfather, or Grumpy, of Anika. He also is survived by his sister Dianne Hurtubise and his brother Garry Ashe, both of Otta- wa. Visitation will be held at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax, on Thursday, Aug. 7, from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral mass will be held at Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church, 796 Eyer Dr., Pickering on Friday, Aug. 8, at 11 a.m. Reception to follow.

I can understand the letter writer’s con- cern about someone being stoned on pot and driving. However, his attitude toward pot smokers is sarcastically portrayed as he says pot smokers should, “continue to spend his time in his back yard munching his favourite snack” and not drive being stoned. Why does the writer not mention drunk driving or using cellphones while driv- ing, which is just as dangerous? The writ- er is rightly averse to pot smokers driving, where others could be rightly averse to cellphone use while driving. I assume it’s just as common. Picking a lifestyle of pot smoking is not the ideal, and could be vili- fied along with drinking alcohol. But if no harm is done, I feel it is a personal choice, and I can only say “peace out” . Brad Hogg Oshawa Durham girls experiment with the future A recent science camp for girls at UOIT in Oshawa might have represented the first vital step towards a cure for cancer, or a way to safely and efficiently travel in deep space. And it all might have started with a sim- ple experiment or activity at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s recent Science Magic Camp for girls aged eight to 13, in which participants were exposed to the many opportunities for females in what have traditionally been male-dominated disciplines. Campers at the UOIT event participat- ed in interesting and challenging activities including science experiments, eco-art and multi-media exercises to help them build interest in and consider university pro- grams that lead to careers in the sciences. Indeed, there remain too few women studying or working in the so-called STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and both governments and post-secondary institutions are beginning to more ambitiously address the imbalance between men and women in these fields. UOIT officials, in hosting the July camp for girls, hit precisely on the findings of a study out of Mount St. Vincent University in Hali- fax that showed females who are exposed to STEM opportunities while young are three times more likely to pursue careers in those fields. Another study showed that although women outnumber men on university cam- puses, only 39 per cent of undergrads are studying in math and physical sciences, and only 17 per cent are in engineering or com- puter science studies. Sheila Rhodes, a professor at UOIT and counsellor at the recent camp, summed the issue up recently when she noted, “...by the time the girls get to this age, they’ve already decided they don’t like science.” That is precisely what this camp aims to change. And if the passions that were stoked in some young girls who took part are any indication, the Science Magic Camp sur- passed its goal of sparking interest in the STEM fields of study. Consider these early-stage inventions from the local camp kids: A remote-con- trolled Frisbee, a fabric that can be cleaned with a spray of water, a coffee mug that heats and cools beverages, and allows peo- ple to add milk or other condiments with the press of a button. These camps promote critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills, all of which will serve participants as they grow into adults. That’s a summer camp that builds memories. Is it so hard to say God bless you? On Aug. 26, I will have been married to my wife Brenda for 25 years. It’s an important milestone. The 25 years have flown by in a blink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday we were saying our I do’s in a London church and planning to buy our first, and only, house. Now we have three grown boys; two in uni- versity, one going into Grade 12, a house and a tank full of fish. There have been a lot of highs, lows and a few deaths we have struggled through. It’s only in this past year we are seeing a light at the end of the financial tunnel and our conversa- tions are turning more to trips, a luxury we could never afford as the boys went through their years of sports and drama. It’s been a great 25 years and I wouldn’t change a thing. Well, one thing. It’s taken me almost 25 years to notice but my wife has a unexplained block- age, and can’t say ‘God bless you’ when I sneeze and she is in the room with me. If one of our boys sneezes she is right there, with ninja-like reflexes, with a hearty ‘God bless you’. When we are out with friends, and a sneeze happens, bam. She’s there. But I can be sitting right beside her while she’s reading, sneeze, and nothing. Silence. It’s become a game in our house. We now give her a few sec- onds to say something and when one of the kids will give me a ‘bless you’, she realizes she missed her opportunity and apologizes. It’s like a Seinfeld skit. We can’t figure out why she has this mental block. I’m right there with my ‘bless yous’ but from my wife of 25 years I get nothing in return. That’s a small hiccup in an otherwise great marriage. I’ll learn to live without a ‘bless you’ but I’m still going to have fun with it. If you get a ‘bless you’ from my wife, consider yourself lucky. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is proud of his ability to offer a sincere ‘bless you’.

It’s also critical to make a few plans. For instance, I looked up from my key- board the other day and was gobsmacked by the horrifying realization that July is essentially over. Where did that month go? More importantly, what had I done with it? Even at 54, there is still enough little kid in me to hear alarm bells, or more par- ticularly school bells, when I register that the summer -- the precious, blissful, care- free summer -- is slipping away and I have not done enough of my Summer Things. I have a list of my Summer Things. You, no doubt, have your own. Our lists may differ widely yet I am sure the things on yours are every bit as important to you as mine are to me. I would never presume to judge another’s list. My list contains things that are vital to my physical, emotional and spiritual well- being. Things that, if experienced and enjoyed often and deeply enough, will safeguard me through the dark and cold of the fast- approaching winter months. It is of paramount importance, for exam- ple, that I swim in a lake at some point, preferably naked. A pool swim, as invig- orating and therapeutic as it may be, just won’t cut it. I need to plunge into cool, dark water, to feel small and perhaps just the tiniest bit apprehensive of what else may be sharing the inky depths around me. I need to float on my back and gaze up at the clouds or, even better, the daz- zling infinitude of the night sky. I need to remember where I came from and how vital that connection to the natural world still is to my sanity. I need to read as many books as I pos- sibly can. To give myself leave to spend large chunks of time thoroughly and hap- pily lost in story. To experience again and again the incomparable, anticipatory delight of cracking open a fresh novel. I need to get into the car and drive to some new and wonderful place. Some fresh, as-yet-unexplored dot on the map. To sit somewhere I have never sat before and watch people I’ve never seen before. To savour micro-brewed beer and local appetizers that taste better simply because they are from away. I need to eat buttery, salty corn on the cob until I am a sated, grinning mess. I need to lie on an overstuffed sofa on a screened-in porch, whispering to the one I love as the heavens rumble with the approach of a humidity-stoked summer storm. My Summer Things. As I say, your list may well be different from mine, but its contents nonetheless essential to you. These summer things keep us young, alive and vital. They are to us as sunlight is to the trees, their energy and memory sustaining us long after the green of sum- mer has passed. Life may well indeed be what happens to us while we’re making other plans, but life wouldn’t be life with- out planning on a few summer things. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 10 Extreme Phobias Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll A sad ending to a story about a cat that escaped from a couple’s car while they were visiting Durham prompted discussion -- and many condolences -- on Facebook. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has taken an exceptionally hard line on international issues recently. What do you think? Tara Booth: I hate sad endings like that and can’t imagine how these people are feeling.

Check the map, adjust the seat and cli- mate controls, and familiarize yourself with the dashboard controls before taking the car out of park. • If you are driving with pets, make sure they are safely secured and in the back seat. • Put aside enough time to complete your grooming before you set out. Never apply makeup, comb your hair or shave while driving. • Make all necessary wardrobe changes before you enter the car. If a situation can’t wait – the kids are act- ing up in the back seat or you need to refer to a map or take an emergency call – pull over somewhere safe to attend to it.

Located at the south end of Liverpool Road, Beachfront Park and the adjacent Millenni- um Square make up one of Pickering’s most popular beach areas, featuring a boardwalk, shaded picnic area, playgrounds, splash pad, beach volleyball courts, washrooms, Water- front Trail and marsh area. Robert Gagen, supervisor of parks opera- tions for the City of Pickering, says having staff on site there every day has significantly cut down on garbage. The bigger challenge has been Beachpoint Promenade, home to a more secluded and naturalized beach. “We have had issues there with illegal dumping, partying and garbage, there have been some complaints from residents,” Mr. Gagen notes. “But we’re working on it.” The City has responded by scheduling staff to blitz the area every Monday during the warmer months. Crews comb the beach for litter, glass and fire remnants. City staff is also dispatched to empty the garbage cans daily or every second day -- the parking lots in particular are a target for illegal dumping. Local resident Mike Rumanek lives nearby and visits Beachpoint Promenade often to walk or just sit and look out at the water. He says it’s common for teenagers to drink there on Saturday nights, but notes the gar- bage situation has improved since the City started its Monday morning program. “Sometimes you will still see beer cans and stuff, but not as much. (The City) is doing a really good job of keeping it clean,” he says. The Beachpoint Promenade area is slated for development next year, with plans to put in washrooms and parking. Mr. Gagen is hopeful the project will also include space for parks staff, so the site can be supervised on a regular basis like Beachfront Park. “It’s a beautiful spot, a hidden gem,” he says. “In the future there will definitely be a need for it to be staffed.” Weekend parties keep City crews busy PICKERING -- Above, Graham Edgar, from the City of Pickering, dumped a load of rocks as he cleaned up the sand along Beachfront Park recently. City staff was on the beach at 6 a.m. as they started their clean up from the weekend activi- ties. Left, Bhavesh Gulvi played volleyball at Beachfront Park on a hot, sunny day.

Bylaw signs are posted at entry points to the beaches. Regulations prohibit: over- night parking, fireworks, open fires, alco- hol, camping, dumping/littering and use of stereos. • City bylaw staff has been doing bike patrols at parks, beaches and greenspaces on Tuesdays and Thursdays since 2006. The goal is to increase public safety, pro- tect beaches and parks and provide public education on City bylaws. Durham Region- al Police also do nighttime bike patrols when available. • City of Pickering parks and beaches tech- nically have hours of operation. They are open from 7 a.m. to midnight between April and September, and from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. between October and March. No one except police or City staff is authorized to be on the properties outside those hours. • The Durham Region health department tests the water at two Pickering locations -- Frenchman’s Bay East and Frenchman’s Bay West -- on a weekly basis during the summer to determine if it’s safe for swim- ming. So far in 2014, the Pickering loca- tions have been safe every week.

How Soon After an Accident Should I Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer? John Russell Bryan yetman Many insurers will discount your auto premium if your child is away at school, as long as they don’t have regular access to your vehicle. It doesn’t mean they can’t drive the car when home; the reduced rate simply reflects the reduced risk. There are also property insurance considerations you ought to be aware of as students will need to take a number of personal belongings to school with them. Most carriers will extend coverage from a parent’s policy for these items negating the need for purchasing separate coverage. Have more questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call or visit our website.

That survey finding from LIMRA reflects how millions of Canadians are either uninsured or underinsured.They’re overlooking an important aspect of their overall financial strategy. Think about what would happen if you unexpectedly passed away today. Who would pay for your funeral and your family’s monthly bills? Who would pay your monthly mortgage payment and other outstanding debts? How would your children’s future education be funded?And would your family be able to compensate for your lost paycheque,which would be gone forever? The simple reality is that without adequate insurance coverage, your loved ones could face catastrophic consequences. Make sure you have a detailed discussion with your financial advisor about the insurance options available to you.

OLG Slot at Ajax Downs 50 Alexander’s Crossing, Ajax, Ontario (905) 619 2690 or 1-866-445-3939 Open 24 hrs., 7 days a week olg.ca August 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 Summerof6 9 Lords add local recruit to volleyball team Ajax’s Kayla Donahue combining academics and athletics at Durham College OSHAWA -- Kayla Donahue of Ajax is returning to Durham Region after gradu- ating from Brock University, as she joins the Durham College women’s volleyball team for the 2014-15 season. Donahue is enrolled in the addictions and mental health program at Durham, after graduating from Brock with an hon- ours degree in psychology this past April. “I love the game of volleyball and to have the opportunity to merge academia with athletics is a win-win for me,” said Donahue. “The addictions and men- tal health program at Durham College is well recognized in the industry and will not only allow me to quickly reach my goal of becoming a certified psychother- apist, but will give me practical experi- ence and visibility into many of the dif- ferent career options within this field.” The five-foot-eight libero played two seasons for the Badgers from 2010-2012, where the team qualified for the OUA quarter-finals in each season. She made an immediate impact with the team as she played in 18 conference games in her freshman season, going on to record 91 digs that season including a game-high 26 against York University. The following year, she played in 17 conference games and totaled 137 digs, averaging 3.04 digs per set. Donahue joined Brock after a success- ful junior career with the Durham Attack and Durham Region Volleyball Club, where her club teams won multiple pro- vincial and national tournament titles. Durham head coach Tony Clarke will be looking for Donahue to assume a leader- ship role with the team, as she comes to the lineup with plenty of experience on the court. “We are very pleased that Kayla has chose to come to Durham for her post-grad pro- gram,” said Clarke. “She is a tremendous passer and her court awareness is excel- lent, providing her teams with a reliable defensive player in the backcourt. With her experience at Brock and at the club level, she will be a valuable asset to the team on and off the court.” The Lords will open up training camp in September with its first conference game scheduled for Oct. 22 on the road against the OCAA bronze medalist Trent Excalibur. Durham’s home opener will take place on Oct. 24 against the Seneca Sting. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 4 12 AP Summer Sales Event. On Now.

Whitby’s Matt Jones, Oshawa’s Connor May and Ajax’s Jesse Elliott are part of the under-17 team that begins play Wednesday against Quebec.

Ontario is in Pool A with Quebec, Alber- ta and British Columbia, and will play each team twice before the playoffs begin Satur- day night. The tournament wraps up Sun- day, with the gold-medal game at 7:30 p.m. Track-and-field Speed Academy athletes set records at junior worlds EUGENE, OREGON -- Two members of the Pickering-based Speed Academy turned in record-setting performances at the world junior track-and-field champion- ships in Oregon.
