A hot air mass has moved into southern Ontario, causing daytime highs on Tues- day, July 28 to reach the low 30s C, with over- night minimum temperatures in the low 20s. The hot weather is expected to continue into Thursday. The Durham Region health department advises residents to take precautions to pre- vent heat-related illness during the warning. Extreme heat can put everyone at risk, but those at greatest risk are older adults, infants and young children, people with chronic ill- nesses, such as breathing difficulties, heart conditions or psychiatric illnesses, people who work or exercise in the heat, homeless people and low-income earners. Those taking medication or with health conditions should consult their doctor or pharmacist to see if the medications can increase health risks in the heat. During a heat warning, people should be cautious about symptoms of heat illness. These include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst and decreased uri- nation with unusually dark yellow urine. Anyone experiencing any of these condi- tions during extreme heat should immedi- ately move to a cool place and drink liquids. Water is best. Heat illnesses are preventable, the health department reports. However, heat-related illnesses can lead to long-term health prob- lems or even death. The most dangerous heat illness is heat stroke, with symptoms that include com- plete or partial loss of consciousness, or con- fusion and high body temperature. If caring for someone with these symptoms, call 911 immediately. While waiting for help, cool the person right away by moving them to a cool place, applying cold water to large areas of the skin or clothing, fanning the person as much as possible. Frequently visit neigh- bours, friends and older family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure that they are cool and hydrated. Residents are encouraged to take precau- tions to beat the heat and stay cool, includ- ing: drinking plenty of cool liquids, espe- cially water, before feeling thirsty; wearing loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabric; taking cool showers or baths until they feel refreshed; blocking out the sun by opening awnings, and closing cur- tains or blinds during the day; avoiding sun exposure; and never leaving people or pets inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight. Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Monitor local media or Weatheradio for updates. To report severe weather, send an e-mail to storm.ontario@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports to #ONStorm.

Several suspects are being sought in the incident, in a residential neighbour- hood near Williamson Drive East and Thackery Drive at about 10:24 p.m. July 27. Durham police said the victim, a 22-year-old Ajax man, was walking near a greenspace west of Wilsongary Circle when he was confronted by three or four males. The altercation became physical and the man was stabbed, police said. The attackers fled northeast toward St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic School. The victim was rushed to local hospi- tal with serious but not life-threaten- ing injuries and later transferred to a Toronto trauma centre. The suspects are described as black men, one of whom wore a grey hoodie. Police Canine, patrol officers collar wanted teen after pursuit in Pickering PICKERING -- A teenager who was want- ed on an arrest warrant was collared after fleeing from an officer in Pickering Thurs- day. A hunt for the suspect was launched after a cop on patrol spotted him at about 10:30 a.m. July 23 in the vicinity of Liv- erpool Road and Hwy. 401, Durham police said. The suspect bolted when the officer tried to take him into custody. A 90-minute manhunt ensued, with 18 officers, including a canine unit, fanning out across the search area. The teen was eventually arrested and taken into custody. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 6 P e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising • Deb McDonald - Sales Manager • Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

You might not have heard of StoryMobs, a book- based flash mob. Parents, kids, librarians, people of all ages work together to present a children’s book in public, using costumes, props, music, a bit of choreography and reading aloud. This sounds like a great idea and it’s coming to Whitby Public Library on Aug. 5. The book being presented is Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, a book I fell in love with when I stud- ied it at university. (A children’s literature course, or kiddy litter as we called it.) Children’s and adult fiction assistant Betsy Brous- seau is bringing StoryMobs to Whitby. She heard of the Toronto-based program last year and decided it was something WPL needed to try. People of all ages are invited to get involved, cre- ating costumes and props and reading assigned lines on the big day. Ms. Brousseau said people who want to get involved should visit the main floor information desk at the central branch, 405 Dundas St. W., and fill out a card. They’ll be e-mailed their script. On Aug. 5 there will be a props-making session. There will be masks, too. Two rehearsals will be held. And then, at 2:30 p.m., “Let the wild rumpus start,” as Maurice Sendak said in his book. “We’re going to parade through the library and then head out to Celebration Square,” Ms. Brous- seau said, adding people will have musical instru- ments to create some noise with. Those taking part will form a semi-circle and then tell the story. It’s free to be involved and free to watch. This is a fun way to make a book truly come alive and Where The Wild Things Are is a perfect story for the occasion. So if you love make-believe and tell- ing stories, sign up now. Copy editor Christy Chase is currently reading ‘The Miniaturist’ by Jessie Burton and loving it. Christy Chase Copy Editor Booked Canada must take leadership role on poverty reduction To the editor: As the autumn election approaches, I’ve started to think about what my vote will be based on. As someone who agrees with the UN and would like to see extreme poverty alleviated by 2030, foreign aid will be a key voting issue for me. In 1969, Lester B. Pearson said that all developed countries should be contrib- uting 0.7 per cent of their GNI to for- eign aid. Canada currently pledges 0.27 per cent and follows through on 0.23 per cent. The NDP have said that they will bring our foreign aid spending up to 0.7 per cent over 10 years, but I’d like to know if the other parties would consider getting us there faster. Canada has been a leader in poverty alleviation, funding such programs as maternal newborn child health, educa- tion, and immunization. But we must continue to lead and follow through on what was promised decades ago. Christine Smith Every year about 2,200 seasonal migrant workers come to Durham Region to work the many farms here. They do the work most Canadians won’t do for modest wages. A lot of the time you don’t even know they’re here because these workers tend to keep to themselves. Seasonal migrant workers play a pivotal role in our farming communities. Without them farmers all across Durham Region would suffer. They keep our local farms running while keeping farmers’ costs low. But there’s an upside for these workers as well. They travel here because there’s little if any work in their own countries and the wages they earn help support their families back home. So it’s a win-win for everyone. While the hours are long for seasonal migrant workers they do have down time and it’s during these hours a sense of iso- lation can set in. They’re alone in a distant land with little, if anything to do. But a Bowmanville church and its con- gregation has reached out to these work- ers in an effort to make them feel at home here. Reverend Christopher Greaves, bet- ter known as Rev. Kit, at Bowmanville’s St. John’s Anglican Church, has extended an open invitation to seasonal migrant work- ers whether they’re spiritual and want to attend a church service or to come enjoy a meal or soccer game. During the Pan Am Games he also took a number of workers to a baseball game in Ajax. Clevie Thorbe knows all too well of the isolation seasonal migrant workers can experience. Every summer for the past 24 years he’s left his family to work here. He was appreciative of Rev. Kit’s invitation to attend services at St. John’s Anglican Church. “I come to church to better my life. I want a good life,” he said. “I come (work in Can- ada) to make my life better. I support my wife and nine kids.” Stephanie Mayell, a grad student and researcher on seasonal migrant worker health in Canada, and a member of the Migrant Workers Network, said any out- reach that communities or churches make really helps offset some of the negative conditions for these workers. “It’s a huge benefit to workers in Bowmanville and can serve as a model for other areas of Durham,” she said. It’s this type of community outreach that continues to make Durham Region the best place in the GTA to live and is a con- tinuing reason why seasonal migrant work- ers are attracted to the area. Rev. Kit should be applauded and sets an example we hope others will follow. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Community outreach helps Durham migrant workers 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP Contact K en Hurst for more information:Tel: 416-573-2767 •Email: hurstk@rogers.com Ajax Rotary JOIN FriendshipandFellowship Experiencegivingbacktoyourcommunity JoinuseachThursday-visitwww.AjaxRotary.orgforinfo StartingAug.6-Breakfastmeeting1stThursdayofeachmonth Quality Fireplaces Gourmet Grills Home Comfort & Decor Outdoor Living 487 We stney Rd.S., Unit 13,Ajax 905-426-4100 www.topfire.ca PROMOTIONS VALID FROM AUGUST 1 ST – SEPTEMBER 30 TH, 2015. Ryan Pfeiffer rpfeiffer@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face the entire time I was there. There’s something about hurling a sharp axe at a wooden target and getting it to stick that is both addictive and deeply sat- isfying. The Backyard Axe Throwing League in Pickering offers an urban venue to experi- ence the thrill of axe throwing in leagues, or for private events such as parties or team building. It doesn’t allow casual walk-in customers from the general public. The activity is geared towards an older crowd with an 18-plus age restriction and BYOB. I didn’t actually play a game against any- one, but the rules are pretty simple. You play one-on-one and score points based on where your axe lands on the target. Each player gets five axe throws per game and it’s best two out of three. The third game, if necessary, involves a larger axe thrown from farther away.

The local school is one of four -- two in the Durham District School Board and two in the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board -- hosting special programs during July, to help students improve their literacy skills. This is the second year for the initiative in Durham, and both school boards have seen their summer learning programs grow. The Catholic board’s Summer Rays program started last summer with one school and about 60 students, and has expanded this year to two locations and close to 100 students heading into Grade 1 or 2 this fall. “These are very formative years. We want to get them at an early age so these skills are secure as they go into a grade that has more demand,” says program co-ordinator Susan McKenna. She says blending learning with fun gets kids excited about being in the class- room during the summer. Students spend the mornings hon- ing literacy skills, while afternoons are reserved for field trips, games, art and special guests. On July 14, for example, students at St. Bernadette worked with local art- ist Janet Lange to create a canvas paint- ing. “I’m having a blast,” said Ryan Harvey Freeman, a student at St. Bernadette. “We’ve gone strawberry picking, read books every day and had a drumming lesson.” The DDSB’s program is being offered at two Oshawa schools this summer, with an enrollment of 122 students who are starting Grades 1 to 5 in the fall. Carolyn Porter, aboriginal education officer for the DDSB, says one unique aspect of the program is a focus on First Nation, Metis and Inuit students at the David Bouchard P.S. location. “We have 890 students self-identi- fied (as First Nation, Metis or Inuit) in our board; this is a great opportunity to reach out to them,“ she says. Activities will include a dance demon- stration, hand drumming, spoon playing and a visitor form Alderville First Nation who will teach students about furs. The local summer learning programs are funded by the Ministry of Education and are expected to continue -- and per- haps expand -- next year. School’s in for Durham students in need of literacy help AJAX -- MacKenna Barrett received some assistance from artist Janet Lange on her Mexican landscape art during the Summer Rays Learning Program at St. Bernadette Catholic School. The four-week program is for students entering Grade 1 or 2 in the fall. It focuses on improving literacy skills and offering fun activities such as field trips, arts and games.

We Grow Food (WGF) is a support system in Oshawa that helps people grow their own food in their own back yard garden patch or by collectively starting a community garden. It is as grassroots as you can get…and it operates through many dedicated volunteer hours and community donations. What the residents within around where WGF has done their magic and the volunteers are finding are the things like: a renewed sense of community; food security; confidence; friendships; support and sharing of knowledge. All of this just started because of an idea that quickly became something tangible. WGF is something that people are willing to dedicate their time to after they have worked all day. It is a project that encourages an exchange of knowledge. It is a project that not only nurtures the plants, but the individuals connected to it. Right now, this grassroots gardening and growing your own food may seem is unique to Oshawa. But maybe not? Take a look at your community…what is happening within it? Ask questions. Look around your streets. Check things out. If you don’t see anything, and you want to see something…do something about it! That is all it takes – you to do something. Now, we are all busy. Nevertheless, this may be what you are looking for. If you choose to champion something like what We Grow Food is doing, you would have their support and benefit from their experiences. However, every community is different and will have different successes, barriers, expertise and logistics. This is what makes it exciting. If you feel like taking on a challenge that will change your community for the better, take a look at We Grow Food. Then take a look at your community and take the next step to make it happen. To connect with WGF: go to wegrowfood.org; stop by The Table restaurant in Oshawa; visit Cordova Park or the Pepperpatch at John & Albert Streets, check out their FB page and Twitter account.

The 14-year-old boy is high-functioning and has sensory integration disorder, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a specific sensitivity to light, and he becomes distracted easily. He’s been attending a pilot project in Pickering by Footprints called Together We ‘Hang’ since April. “He’s been coming every week,” said Kyle’s mother, Rebecca Brooke. Ms. Brooke said her son tends to be “very black and white” and “very literal.” Program co-ordinator Savannah Aberth is already seeing changes in Kyle. “He broke out of his shell,” she said. “You can tell, he’ll talk more.” With the support of the Durham Com- munity Foundation and the Pickering Pub- lic Library, the free program provides a social outlet for youth diagnosed with an ASD -- a group of complex developmen- tal brain disorders that affect the way the brain works. Individuals who are on the autism spectrum experience difficulty in the areas of social interaction, language and development and strong interests and repetitive behaviour. Footprints provides respite services for families with children diagnosed with an ASD in Durham. There are currently two weekly respite programs for kids up to their 14th birthday available in Pickering and Whitby, but this new pilot is specifical- ly geared toward teens aged 14 and up to 21. “Youth on the autism spectrum are often a forgotten group when it comes to social, recreational programs,” said Footprints 4 Autism operations manager Julie Cashin- Oster, who also has a teenage son with an ASD. She finds there are great programs for kids and adults, but not as many for teens. According to Autism Ontario, The National Epidemiologic Database for the Study of Autism in Canada has been moni- toring the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and southeastern Ontario since 2003. Based on information from the most recent year of data collec- tion, the best estimate of the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in Canada is one per 94 children, and the prevalence appears to be increasing. Running out of the Pickering Public Library’s main branch, Together We ‘Hang’ takes place every Wednesday through the summer until Sept. 16 from 3 to 5:30 p.m. “I love working here. I love being here. It’s needed for sure,” Ms. Aberth said. Kyle’s tried other programs in the past, but hasn’t had as much success as he has with this one, said Ms. Brooke. “He really looks forward to coming here,” she said. She feels the younger volunteers, who are close to his age, have been helping Kyle with interacting, and she hopes the experi- ence will benefit him, as he’ll be attending high school in the fall. “It doesn’t feel like a program, just like he’s meeting up with friends,” said Ms. Brooke. The volunteers, who are 14 and older, are trained in CPR, first aid and behavioural management. Ms. Cashin-Oster describes the program as a safe outlet that is fun, and allows the teens to play games and try new things. “It’s not therapy, it’s not school,” said Ms. Cashin-Oster. “They can just kind of do whatever they want.” Ms. Aberth is planning more outings for the remainder of the summer, including a trip to the movies. Ms. Cashin-Oster is currently apply- ing for funding in the hopes of continu- ing Together We ‘Hang’ into the fall, or in the new year. She would appreciate input from the public, on the hours and days that would be convenient for their child with an ASD. “We’re just looking for some ideas,” she said. Ms. Brooke hopes the program will con- tinue. “I think it’ll be a real void if he doesn’t have it,” she said. Footprints runs weekend respite pro- grams, as well as a summer camp for chil- dren registered with Footprints. There is a wait list in Whitby for the weekend pro- gram, but currently some spots are open in Pickering, which is rare, as many children stay in the program for a number of years. Some of the children have simply aged out, explained Ms. Cashin-Oster. For more information on Footprints and its programs, to provide input, or to take advantage of the remaining weeks of Together We ‘Hang,’ call 905-420-0388 ext. 3, visit www.footprints4autism.org , or e-mail pickering@footprints4autism.org. The library is at One The Esplanade, Pickering.

At the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club, com- modore of the Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Association Gary Endicott hops aboard the boat that’s used to monitor the bay and sur- rounding area, gives everyone on board a safety talk and makes sure their life jackets are fastened. The News Advertiser and representatives from the Pickering fire department, Dur- ham Regional Police and Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean have been invited to ride along on July 16. Leaving the bay, Coun. McLean, also recently named the chairman of the board of directors of PARA, points out the multi- million-dollar restoration of the channel to make it easier for boaters to enter and exit Frenchman’s Bay. “A lot of the boaters just wouldn’t come in here,” says Mr. Endicott. “They were afraid of the channel.” Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg, along for the ride, agrees, and feels since it’s been refurbished, the bay will see more boaters. “It’s a busy place out here on the week- ends,” says the chief, who has a boat docked at Frenchman’s Bay himself, and is grateful for the work PARA does on a regular basis. The not-for-profit charitable organization is dedicated to the preservation of life on the water and operates a marine rescue service to protect mariners, assist police, fire, and ambulance services in emergency situa- tions, mostly in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. “I am very proud to have been appoint- ed as the chair of the board of directors for an organization that I have a great deal of respect for,” says Coun. McLean. “As many in the community know, I am very passion- ate about public safety, and I look forward to playing a leadership role for PARA as we continue to grow and evolve as an organiza- tion.” Durham Deputy Police Chief Chris Fer- nandes explains the police marine unit falls under his command. “People love seeing the police boat out on the water,” he says. “It gives them a sense of safety that we’re out there.” Although relatively new to the job, he’s impressed by the work of PARA and under- stands police maintain a solid relationship with the volunteers. Currently made up of 45 volunteers, PARA crews monitor the waters every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, and Saturdays and Sundays. “The rest of the time, we’re on call 24/7,” says Mr. Endicott. All members go through intensive train- ing in the off-season in conjunction with the Canadian Coast Guard. PARA is supported by the City of Pickering, Durham Region and Durham police. Coun. McLean explains operating costs are covered, but for everything else, such as upgrades, PARA is responsible for raising its own money, and relies heavily on fund- raised dollars. Four-year volunteer Chris Webb says the boat, coined the Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Unit -- or PARU -- is 22 years old. “We got the boat when she was three years old,” he says. He proudly shows off the upgraded elec- tronics system on the boat and speaks of the new engine. While these Band-Aids are doing the job for the time being, the boat will have to be replaced eventually. “In 20 years, it’ll all be dead,” he says. During the regular boating season from May to October, PARA volunteers provide more than 1,100 hours of service to the boat- ing community. Since 1967, the crew has helped more than 3,000 people in emergen- cy situations, of which 260 were life threat- ening. “The feeling of when you help somebody, it’s a really good feeling,” says Mr. Endicott. There is no rescue while the News Advertis- er is aboard, but at 10 p.m., PARA is called out to tow a disabled vessel back to shore. “The night was particularly dark due to the lack of moonlight,” Mr. Webb says in an e-mail. The crew contacted the boat in trouble by cellphone and assured the boaters they were on their way. “We were able to locate the boat using the new electronics equipment we had invested in this year,” Mr. Webb says. The crew hooked up and towed the boat to safety, but had to travel at a slow speed due to one-metre waves that had developed on their way to the scene. The vessel was towed to land at 12:30 a.m. Friday and the crew finally made their way back to Frenchman’s Bay and headed home at 1:30 a.m. The crew is currently recruiting volun- teers, including someone familiar with fun- draising. More people are needed to go out on the water, as well. There are usually three to four on board at once, and Mr. Endicott explains the person on lookout is usually rotated every 15 to 20 minutes in order to give their eyes a rest. “The most important thing to bring is ded- ication,” he says to interested volunteers. Visit www.para-rescue.org to learn how to volunteer or donate. PICKERING — The Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Association is made up of 45 volunteer members who keep an eye on waters from Pickering to Whitby. Volunteer Ric Rademacher guided the boat out of Frenchman’s Bay and into Lake Ontario during a training run. The not-for-profit charitable organization is dedicated to the preservation of life on the water.

Italy’s Montefalco delivers great wine memories The small but historic village of Fabbri is within the centrally locat- ed Umbrian commune of Monte- falco, Italy. After a two-hour drive from Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, I arrived at my home for the next week. Subretia Rezidenze Di Campagna seemed well suited for my purpose but it was late night. I was tired and sleep came quickly. Morning introduced itself with a melodic harmony from a group of songbirds each singing its special tune. The cool morning air brushed itself pleasantly against my face as I walked up the garden path bor- dered by a floral multitude which ended by a stunningly beautiful lotus-shaped swimming pool fac- ing a superbly beautiful scene. In the distance the rising Umbri- an sun illuminated the green vines of Rocca Di Fabbri, which stretched out in parallel rows to meet the mysterious mist-shrouded hills in the distant Montefalco landscape. Two of Montefalco’s highlights are the nearby ancient towns of Assisi and Bevagna associated with Saint Francis, who is Rome’s Pope Fran- cis’s namesake. Villa Subretia was indeed well situated for my pur- pose. Nearby winery Rocca Di Fabbri is a converted 14th-century fortress built to protect the area. It comes complete with moat, drawbridge, battle armaments and wine. Just outside of Villa Subretia’s gates are more of Rocca Di Fab- bri’s vineyards composed mainly of red Sagrantino grapes -- a vari- ety that almost became extinct in the mid 1960’s until a movement to preserve indigenous grape vari- eties. These grapes are now enjoy- ing a renaissance of sorts as more people realize that there is more to wine than just Cabernet and Char- donnay. Many a time I would go to the winery and get a lovely Sagrantino, bought cheese and cold cuts from the only general store and pilfered some grapes from the vineyard. Voila. There was my meal for the evening which I ate while overlook- ing the magnificent view described above. The wines of Montefalco came in various styles from dry reds and whites to those of a dessert style which are made using the ‘passito’ method of drying the grapes prior to them being crushed and fer- mented. The main grapes are (red) Sagrantino Di Montefalco, Sangio- vese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Caber- net Franc, Merlot, (white) Grechet- to, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, though other red and white grapes can be found. Other than Tenuta Rocca Di Fab- bri, there are many other amaz- ing wineries in Montefalco. Two of these are featured via the LCBO. Azienda Agicola Bocale is a small four-acre vineyard winery owned by Valentino Valentini and organi- cally produced. The 2010 Sagran- tino (Vintages #407155, $39.95) is a great example of a very promising and delicious wine. The Rocca Di Fabbri 2009 Sagrantino (Vintages #19208, $38.00) is just coming into its own now and will last 10-plus more years. They may seem pricey but certainly worth a special occa- sion. Montefalco is a magical place, engulfed in a history that preced- ed the Romans and wines. I would heartily recommend this to any wine tourist or adventurer. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

OPP stopped a vehicle on County Road 45 near Centreton just before 9 p.m. July 18 after receiving complaints about a driver tailgating other cars. An officer determined the driver had been drinking and took him to the OPP detachment in Cobourg for further tests. Further investigation revealed the driver had provided a false name, police said.

The first summer with the new Smoke- Free Ontario Act in effect, it’s now ille- gal to smoke on bar and restaurant pati- os, sell tobacco on college and universi- ty campuses, and smoke near children’s playgrounds and public sports fields and surfaces. “For individuals trying to quit smoking or those who have recently quit, smoke- free areas can provide support by helping to reduce the triggers that might lead to smoking,” said Shelley Simic, a Durham Region public health nurse. “The bene- fits of smoke-free areas can also assist in socially de-normalizing tobacco use and thus, help to prevent youth from starting to use tobacco products.” Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham Region med- ical officer of health, says tobacco use remains the No. 1 preventable cause of death and disease in Canada. “Strategies to prevent youth from start- ing to use tobacco products are a public health priority,” he said. For information on quitting smoking, call Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841 -2729, or visit durham.ca/tobacco . For informa- tion on the new regulations, signage and enforcement, call the Environmental Help Line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777- 9613.

On July 21, members of the DRPS Gun and Gang Unit searched a house on San- dringham Drive as part of an investigation. A stolen .22-calibre rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition were found, as well as a “large quantity” of stolen identification cards and credit cards, police said. Christopher Case-Bowkett, 25 of San- dringham Drive, faces various firearm offences and nine charges of possessing property obtained by crime. He was held for a bail hearing. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5800 or make an anon- ymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477 or www.durhamregionalcrimestop- pers.ca .

PUBLIC NOTICE TRANSPORT CANADA PROPOSED REGULATIONS FOR THE FEDERALLY-OWNED PICKERING LANDS On June 11, 2013, the Government of Canada announced a responsible and balanced approach for developing the federally-owned Pickering Lands. This approach sets aside land for a potential future airport and the creation of Rouge National Urban Park. To update the current airport site designation and to replace the current Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, Transport Canada is now following a regulatory process to: • Declare a smaller portion of the Pickering Lands an airport site, as defined in the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(1); and •Propose Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, under the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(2). These regulations aim to protect the new, smaller Pickering Airport site for future aviation needs, by ensuring land use and development adjacent to and in the vicinity of the airport site does not interfere with safe aircraft operations. Yo u can find the text of the proposed regulations at http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2015/2015-07-18/html/reg1-eng.php http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2015/2015-07-18/html/reg2-eng.php Transport Canada published official notice of these proposed regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on July 18, 2015 and again on July 25, 2015. We now enter a 60-day public consultation period, where interested persons may submit written comments about the proposed regulations between July 18, 2015 and September 15, 2015 to: By Mail:Transport Canada - Civil Aviation Regional Director 4900 Yonge Street, Suite 400 Toronto, Ontario M2N 6A5 By Email:CASO-SACO@tc.gc.ca You must include the name of this newspaper and the date this notice was published.

Fine farewell to Pan Am Games AJAX -- The Hummingbird Dancers, from Club Carib of Oshawa, performed for guests during the Excitement of the Games event hosted by the Durham Diversity Society at the Hilton Garden Inn, Ajax to celebrate the excitement created by having Pan Am Games events in Ajax and Oshawa.

Researcher wants to speak with you if you have artist’s work DURHAM -- Bill Allen is looking for some art, but only one artist will do. The Newmarket resident is researching the McGillivray family of Whitby and in par- ticular one of their 13 children, artist Florence McGillivray. Allen says McGillivray was born in 1864 near the present-day border of Ajax and Whitby and that she mentored a young Tom Thomson. An accomplished artist, her paint- ings are in the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Robert McLaugh- lin Gallery in Oshawa and, Allen says, “many other prominent galleries across the country. “She was a mentor, motivator, prolifically talented in many mediums, but like many of the women of her era somewhat forgotten and most surely lacking the recognition she deserves for the contributions she made in her time to Canadian art,” he says. Allen is publishing a collection of her works and has gathered more than 850 imag- es. But he is looking for more and believes there may be people in Durham who have her paintings or painted china. If so, he wants to include them in his publication. Allen says anyone who contacts him “can rest assured no contact information regarding any owners of her works will be made public.” You can reach him at wca55@sympatico. ca.

Joseph genuine about joining the Raptors Point guard dreamt of getting to the NBA and playing in Toronto Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX — It has become cliche for any profes- sional player, regardless of the sport, to say how happy and proud they are to be a mem- ber of the organization they have signed with. With Cory Joseph it’s not like that. It’s gen- uine when he talks about how excited he is to be a member of the team he grew up cheering for and the players he idolized on the Toronto Raptors. “It is different. I’m from here. I grew up here,” he said. “People say I dreamt about getting to the NBA, but I dreamt about get- ting to the NBA and literally being with this team. It really is a dream come true. It is a cli- che, but it is the honest truth.” Joseph was standing on the court where it all began, Pickering High School, where he was running a basketball camp from July 27-29 in his hometown. Earlier in the month he was cut loose by the San Antonio Spurs to clear some cap space to sign LaMarcus Aldridge. The 23 year old wasn’t on the open market for long before being signed by the Raptors, the team he rooted for as a young- ster. The Cory Joseph the Raptors are getting is much different than the one who broke into the league with the Spurs after being a first- round selection in the first round, 29th over- all in 2011. “Experience,” he said of the biggest differ- ence. “Of course I could tell you how much I learned in my personal game and my devel- opment. With the Spurs I was fortunate enough to be able to experience a lot of stuff. “We went to the finals twice and lost once, we also won, so I experienced that feeling of the low to the high. How consistent they are over there. I’m just trying to bring that expe- rience and what I learned to the Raptors. Also to learn more. I’m still a young guy.” Joseph had career highs with the Spurs last season, averaging 6.8 points and 2.4 assists in 79 games. The path from Pickering High School in Ajax to the Raptors included three stops. After back-to-back OFSAA basketball titles at Pickering, he enrolled at Findlay Prep High School in Las Vegas for two years to further his development and gain exposure at the US level. His play caught the attention of the University of Texas, where he went for one year on scholarship. When he declared for the NBA draft after his freshman year, he didn’t have to move far, snapped up by San Antonio in the draft. Joseph is among a new wave of Canadi- ans who are playing in the NBA, a group that includes Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Tristan Thompson to name a few. Joseph has played with all of them, and admits there has been some friendly banter about playing together, and in Canada, one day. “Of course, plenty of times,” he said when asked if he ever thinks about a dominant Canadian roster on the Raptors. “I grew up with those guys playing basketball and we all used to talk about it and pretend we were on the Raptors. “We all know it’s a business and they have to do what they can do. I hope to get them one day.” Joseph is already eagerly anticipating the first game of the season with the Raptors, expecting the first home game to be an emo- tional one. As a youth, he spent countess hours playing one-on-one with older broth- er Devoe in the driveway, pretending to be Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady of the Rap- tors. “I’m excited. Anxious. Of course a little bit nervous,” he admitted. “I’m just going to go out there and play hard like I do and let the results take care of themselves.” As for his three-day youth camp, he was happy to be home, passing on his knowl- edge to the next wave of young players look- ing to follow in his footsteps. “It means a lot to come back to my home city. To be able to do my first camp here at Pickering High School where I went to school means a lot to me,” he said, noting it wasn’t that long ago he was a young player attending similar camps. “To help the kids develop their game, I’m trying to stay active in the camp and share my knowledge. “I’m just here to inspire them and try to get them better.” 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 25 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Baseball Ajax Cubs, Pickerng Red Sox to compete in annual CNE Tournament DURHAM — The Ajax Cubs and the Pickering Red Sox will be competing in the prestigious Lions CNE Peewee Baseball Tournament. The annual tournament is regarded as the oldest and most esteemed youth sporting event of its kind in Ontario. The Cubs have an incredible story in Caleb McVeigh. About a year and a half ago he fell ill with juvenile derma- tomyositis or JDM, which kept him out of baseball for most of last year. After a tough battle he’s now back in the game and looking forward to competing in this historic tournament. Red Sox coach Shaun McGuire is a past winner of the CNE tournament with East York in 1984. In fact, he still has his winning plaque. Now he is coach- ing his son Gavin on the team and both are looking forward to playing this year in hopes that Gavin can follow in his father’s footsteps. For the first time in 59 years, the tournament will be played at a new tem- porary location at Coronation Park, due to the construction on the Raptors prac- tice facility on the Exhibition grounds. However, this will not deter the tradition, nostalgia and camaraderie that has been a part of the tournament for more than a half century. This year, 32 teams will compete over nine days in this single elimination event. The tournament, which runs from Aug. 21 to Sept. 3, also includes a wom- en’s fastball tournament and old-timers game, with the finals held on Sept. 3. Softball Junior national softball team getting ready for World Championships WHITBY — On the heels of a gold-med- al win by Canada’s softball team at the Pan Am Games, the future players of the sport are getting ready to represent the country at the world championships.

SteakonaKaiser&OnionRings Durham College announces 2015 Hall of Fame inductees OSHAWA — The department of athletics at Durham College and the Sports Hall of Fame selection committee are adding three new inductees to the DC Sports Hall of Fame. The 2015 class for the 17th edition of the induction ceremony will feature former stu- dent-athletes Erin Smith (fastball/volleyball) along with former soccer athletes/coaches David Staley and Stan Bombino. “We are thrilled to welcome three all-time greats into the Durham College Sports Hall of Fame,” said Ken Babcock, Durham College athletic director. “All of the inductees are very deserving of this honour. On Hall of Fame night, we are going to look back and cele- brate three great careers at Durham College.” The 17th annual Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony is by invitation only and is scheduled to take place on Friday, Nov. 13, at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Cen- tre. Erin Smith of Stratford came to Durham College in the fall of 2001. She graduated in 2005, having left her mark on Lords history as one of its greatest dual-sport athletes. On the fastball diamond, Smith was dom- inant on both sides of the ball, posting a .403 career batting average (60 for 149) with 34 runs batted in and 47 runs scored in 45 games. On the mound, she was nearly unhit- table, posting a 24-0 career record with a 1.04 earned-run average and 156 strikeouts. She finished on a high, posting a 6-0 record, allowing no earned runs in the 2004-05 sea- son, where she was named the Ontario Col- leges Athletic Association’s player of the year. Smith led the Lords to an OCAA silver medal in 2001-02, followed by three straight gold medals from 2002-03 to 2004-05. She was also a key contributor to Durham’s OCAA-record 56-game winning streak, stretching from the 2002-03 season through the 2005-06 season. Her No. 11 jersey was retired upon her graduation. Smith was also a force on the volleyball court for the Lords. All told, she finished her tenure with 564 points, second-most in Dur- ham College history, though her 3.6 points per game is the all-time record among Lords who have played in at least 21 games. The volleyball team made the OCAA’s Final Four every year Smith was there, highlighted by a gold medal in 2001-02. Stan Bombino came to Durham College in 1977 and made headlines in his fresh- man year when he became the first Lord to win the OCAA scoring title, when he scored 13 goals. The following year, he finished sec- ond in league scoring with nine goals in eight games, accounting for more than half of the Lords’ offence. His 22 goals still rank third in Durham College all-time scoring. During Bombino’s 16 years as head coach, the Lords men’s soccer program posted an amazing overall record of 119-66-20. The Lords were always contenders, qualifying for the OCAA final eight in nine times in his career. Staley is one of the most successful athletes in Durham College history. In his freshman season in 1996, the Lords finished with an undefeated record of 4-0-2, winning the OCAA east region while allow- ing a league-low four goals in six games. Staley was named the OCAA league’s top goalkeeper. In 1997 at the OCAA gold-med- al game, Durham defeated Humber 3-2 to win their second title in men’s soccer. Staley was named the Durham College men’s soc- cer MVP and an OCAA All-Star. The follow- ing year, Staley continued his dominance on the pitch as he was named a CCAA All-Cana- dian, the Durham College men’s soccer MVP and the Durham College overall athlete of the year.
