As a result, use of force is only used in .002 per cent of calls. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Durham Regional Police Service officers Tom Stefanski, in the rear wearing a hat, and Bryce MacLean took part in a shoot scenario during a portion of their annual mandatory use-of-force training. Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com This is the first of a two-part series looking at police- involved shootings. The second part will appear next week and will explore what is the protocol for deadly force with police forces in Ontario, and how do police deal with people in crisis. DURHAM -- It’s probably been some time since Durham Regional Police Chief Paul Martin has been out patrolling streets, but in the event it happens, he has kept up with his firearms training. The chief “has maintained his use of force qualification,” according to the most recent report on ‘use of force.’ All police officers have to undergo annu- al recertification with their firearms, along with baton training, use of pepper spray and use of such weapons rifles and Tasers. While officers train in use of force, it’s not very often, actually it’s quite rare, for an officer to use his gun when called to a scene.

Mr. Kayitare was one of more than 30 rising leaders from CivicAction’s Emerging Leaders Network and DiverseCity Fellows program who were invited to take a look at the chang- ing face of the region during a tour June 27. CivicAction brings senior executives and rising leaders from all sectors to tackle chal- lenges facing the Greater Toronto and Ham- ilton Area. The aim of the evening was to acquaint these future community builders with what Durham has to offer. The idea for the event came from Judy Wityszyn, a member of the DiverseCity Fel- lows program which galvanizes rising lead- ers interested in urban issues and impacting change. “Our goal is to show how interconnected we all are,” said Ms. Wityszyn. “I am proud to be from Durham and this gives them a chance to understand why.” She and Shari MacKay are both fellows from Durham. They collaborated with the Region to organize the event. It was co-host- ed by Durham’s economic development and tourism division and CivicAction’s ELN. The group arrived by GO train and board- ed a bus that took members on a tour of some of the region’s most innovative organizations including the Abilities Centre and Lakeridge Health Education and Research Network. The evening ended at the grounds of Park- wood Estate where a panel of three local busi- ness representatives made presentations and answered questions from the audience. “We were excited to partner with CivicAc- tion to gather the leaders of tomorrow in Dur- ham and show them what we have to offer,” said Kathy Weiss, director of economic devel- opment and tourism in Durham Region in a press release. She said the event put Durham Region “front and centre in the minds of participants which will enable more collaboration across the GTHA.” Sean Lockhart, resource development director from with the Boys and Girls Club of Durham, moved to the area from Toronto 11 years ago. He summed up the difference between the two regions. “The difference here is that we built the community. Toronto is a big place. Durham is smaller but powerful when you unite togeth- er.” Anjum Sultana, an ELN member from Toronto, was impressed by what she saw. “It was really fascinating to see all the great work that’s happening in the east end. It has made me start to think about potentially relo- cating here.” Durham Region welcomes future leaders Barbara Howe photo OSHAWA — Brett Murphy from the LHEARN Centre showed Sylvia Buchanan the workings of a high-tech mannequin in a simula- tion lab. inside July 7, 2016 Pressrun 54,400 / 36 pages editorial Page / 6 What’s On / 21 Calendar of events / 25 sports / 28 Classified / 30 905-215-0442 durhamregion.com The latest news from across durham Region, Ontario, Canada and the world all day, every day. search ‘newsdurham’ on your favourite social media channel.

My parents owned a place in the Kawarthas for many years and it was my haven in the summer months. They got the place when I was 21 and I was pret- ty much there every weekend. When I got married and had children we lived close enough to the cottage that I could literally drive over after dinner and do a little evening bass fishing with Dad before heading back home and getting ready for the next work day. Like most parents too, I have any number of things I wish I had done dif- ferently for my children, but one thing I have never regretted for a second was affording them the chance to grow up cottaging. That’s probably the greatest gift their grandparents ever gave them. My parents are the most generous peo- ple I know and every weekend, there was, for all of their children, a standing invitation to join them at the cottage. I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud of the fact that I’m sure I abused that privilege far more than any of my siblings. I loved the place. Driving back from a mid-week get- away last summer, I decided to show Kathryn where our old cottage was. I had only wanted to pull partway down the laneway, afraid of coming upon the new owners, but then we noticed that, it being midweek, no one was around. I was still leery of trespassing, but Kath- ryn, who, I am coming to realize is made up of equal parts Sophia Loren and Robert Mitchum, egged me on to sneak in and case the place. I stopped short of jimmying the locks, but we did park and walk around the property. I was instantly transported back to a magical time. Everywhere I looked, I was reminded of something special. Oddly though, the thing that stopped me dead in my tracks was looking down on the deck boards of the dock and seeing there, fading but still imme- diately recognizable, the claw marks of our dog Ianto. Ianto’s favourite thing was to sprint the length of the dock and hurl himself over the water in pursuit of a thrown Frisbee. The picture of joy. I don’t think any of us loved the cottage any more than he did. I wish I’d had enough Robert Mitchum in me that day to steal one of those boards. I’d have it hanging on the wall of my office right now. -- Columnist Neil Crone saves some of his best lines for his column neil crone Enter Laughing Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@durhamregion.com Mike Johnston - Regional Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com Deb Macdonald - Sales Manager dmacdonald@durhamregion.com Abe Fakhourie - Director of Distribution afakhourie@durhamregion.com Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager chaines@durhamregion.com News Advertiser 865 Farewell St., Oshawa ON L1H 6N8 www.durhamregion.com ADVERTISING 905-215-0472 CLASSIFIEDS 905-576-9335 DISTRIBUTION 905-579-4407 GENERAL FAX 905-579-2238 NEWSROOM 905-215-0481 LETTERS: We welcome letters.

That’s the question being considered by the proposed merger of the Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (OPUC), Whitby Hydro and Veridian. If talks were to prove successful and a merger was approved the new utility would cover the majority of Durham residents as Veridian already includes Ajax, Pickering and parts of Clar- ington. It would become the fourth largest utility in Ontario and ownership would be shared between the municipalities of Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington and Belleville proportionally. The question on everyone’s minds though would be the cost of electric- ity? As it stands now prices keep rising and seniors and those on fixed incomes are being squeezed no matter what util- ity company they’re with. Could a bigger company guarantee lower costs? No. According to Ivano Labricciosa, act- ing CEO for the OPUC, electricity prices will go up because the Province has said that will be the case. However, he said the Ontario Energy Board will not approve a merger if it means costs will go up more than if a merger hadn’t occurred. “One of the fundamental issues around a merger is rates cannot go up relative to what they were before, so there’s a no- harm test it’s called, and the regulator assures that every ratepayer in each of the regions coming together satisfies the no- harm test which means rates do not go up,” he said. We’d all have to be naive to think elec- tricity rates would come down, merger or no merger. What a merger could accom- plish however, is a stronger electricity dis- tribution system moving forward. And unlike what protesters would have you believe, a merger is not a sale. Through public consultations it has been made evident, especially in Oshawa, that share- holders want to maintain municipal own- ership. So it will remain in public hands. Public meetings have been held so far in Ajax and most recently in Oshawa. They’ve helped garner feedback and start a dialogue with residents. If, after the pub- lic consultation process is complete, there is a desire to pursue the merger, the pro- cess will begin. If not, the issue will die. None of the municipalities involved in these merger talks believes any harm can come from talking about the issue. Feed- back is key whether it be positive or nega- tive. There are benefits to a merger. Like any team the merged companies would become “stronger together” while still being municipally owned. Together the new merger could help shareholders and ratepayers by increasing efficiencies and improve distribution services. It could also increase the corporation’s ability to pro- vide customers with new innovative solu- tions to their energy needs in the future. Nothing will bring electricity prices down but it’s good to know our utility companies, be they in Oshawa, Whitby or with Veridian, are looking at ways at improving services for all customers. If the merger happens there will be many ben- efits achieved. If it goes nowhere the three companies will continue to serve their shareholders and ratepayers well as they always have. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. our opinion No harm can come from a hydro merger dialogue 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 7 , 2 0 1 6 7 AP Notice of Commencement Lakeshore East Rail Corridor Expansion (Guildwood to Pickering) Transit Project Assessment Process Metrolinx,an agency of the Province of Ontario,is working to transform the way the region moves by building a seamless,convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).The Government of Ontario is committed to bringing more GO service to the GO rail network over the next ten years.This new service will bring frequent two-way,all-day train service 7 days a week to get you where you need to go.Since the announcement,Metrolinx has started work and is conducting environmental studies across the network to better understand what we can build and how we can build it. The Project Metrolinx is completing a Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP)under Ontario Regulation 231/08 made under the Environmental Assessment Act,to evaluate expanding and improving the Lakeshore East GO rail corridor east of Guildwood GO Station in the City of Toronto and up to Pickering GO Station in the Region of Durham.An additional third track is required to relieve a bottleneck that will help to ensure service reliability and enable GO service expansion. The project involves: •Addition of a third railway track between Guildwood GO Station and Pickering GO Station; •Grade Separations at:Morningside Avenue, Scarborough Golf Club Road and Galloway Road; •Review of other road/rail crossings; •Bridge widenings/replacements at Highland Creek and Rouge River rail crossings. As part of the TPAP,an Environmental Project Report (EPR)is being prepared to assess the potential environmental effects of this transit project. Following the first and second rounds of public meetings held in March 2015 and May 2016, Metrolinx is now formally commencing the TPAP. A third round of public meetings will occur during the TPAP in Fall 2016 and further information will be provided closer to that time. The Process The TPAP is a proponent-driven,self-assessment process that provides a defined framework to follow in order to complete the accelerated assessment of the potential environmental effects and decision- making within a 120-day regulated assessment timeline.Following this period,the regulation provides an additional 30-day public and agency review,and a further 35-day Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC)review.Prior to the commencement of the TPAP,introductory pre-planning activities have taken place. These activities include the study of existing environmental conditions and potential environmental effects of the Project across the natural environment,socio-economic environment,cultural environment,and traffic and transportation,as well as including public and stakeholder consultation. Engagement Building on the first and second rounds of public meetings held in March 2015 and May 2016,Metrolinx will continue to work with the public and stakeholders throughout the TPAP.The third round of public meetings,scheduled for Fall 2016,will present the findings of the environmental studies undertaken on the proposed Guildwood to Pickering Project.Members of the public,government agencies,Aboriginal communities and other interested parties are encouraged to attend the public meetings or contact project staff directly with information,comments or questions.

Boiler in Durham incinerator remains off-line DURHAM -- One of the two boil- ers at the incinerator in Claring- ton remains off-line as the pro- vincial government continues it’s review of a technical report. Boiler number one at the Dur- ham York Energy Centre (DYEC) was taken off-line following a failed stack test in May. The Ministry of the Environ- ment and Climate Change began a review of the phase-one tech- nical report, which was submit- ted last week. This report was pre- pared by the project consultant, HDR Inc. The boiler will stay off- line until the scope of work for phase one of the abatement plan has been completed to the satis- faction of the environment minis- try. A copy of the report is available on the project website at www. durhamyorkwaste.ca. Boiler number two passed its stack test and continues to oper- ate. Phase two will be the start of the abatement plan and all relat- ed actions, including additional investigations, physical and diag- nostic testing that will be under- taken after the restart of boiler number one, and an additional source test by Covanta, the owner and operator of the incinerator. The fulfillment of the abatement plan will be achieved with the successful completion of a new stack test. For more information, visit www.durhamyorkwaste.ca.

UNE UP YSTEM An unexpected, perfect moment during a perfect day on the trail of butterflies in Durham It was one of those perfect, unexpected moments, in the middle of a perfect day. Not a cloud in the sky, and a nice breeze carrying the perfumes of early July -- sweet fern, pine and milkweed. I was glad to get back to the car, parked in the shade, and sit down for a while after combing hot, wet, sedgy roadsides for more than an hour, looking for butter- flies. We were taking part in the Sunder- land Butterfly Count, my husband and I, covering our usual corner of Uxbridge Township. Dennis had been walking the railroad tracks, and as I reached for the clipboard to start recording our latest finds, he said, “Take a look at this!” and thrust the metal loop of his butterfly net in front of me. Through the folded netting I glimpsed some intriguing orange markings before the butterfly inside manoeuvred its way out of sight, trying to get free. By the time I’d carefully found it again Dennis had the field guide open and was studying the plates. “Male black swallowtail,” he finally decided, pointing to a picture of a glossy dark butterfly with two rows of golden spots splashed across its wings. I hadn’t seen the upper side of his captive yet, but the orange dots on the underside were paired with blue ones just like in the picture, and a moment later the swallowtail turned over and spread its wings, revealing two bands of dramatic gold dots. Delighted by this prized addition to our day’s list, I held the open net out the window to release the beautiful butterfly back into the wild. It seemed perfectly content to just sit on the rim, however, enjoying the breeze. My efforts to coax it onto a near- by shrub sent it fluttering to the grassy roadside, so I got out of the car, bent down and held out my hand. Which is how I had a black swallowtail perch on my finger while I carried it to a safe spot back among the trees. A perfect moment. It turned out to be quite a day for clo- seups with dazzling creatures. In one pasture filled with wildflowers, great spangled fritillaries rose up every few steps, and northern crescents, half the size but every bit as gaudy an orange, flitted everywhere. I swung my net at an elusive skipper down in the grass, and to my surprise caught a crab spider instead, as bright a yellow as the buttercup it was hiding on.

Generally speaking when it comes to summer patio drinking the thoughts usually turn to light beer, cocktails and white wine. Red wine seems to be relegated to the ranks of the cooler seasons or ‘fine din- ing.’ However, red wine can enhance any summer outdoor dining. The rule here is light, charming, fruity and unpretentious. No need here for deep analytical discussions or break- down of taste levels. My preference of a summer red varies with the time of day. Early afternoon sipping or lunch decree a light bodied red with equally light alcohol. Hot weather can accentu- ate the effect of alcohol and less is better. Red summer wine also shows better if it is chilled in about a 50/50 ice/water mix for about 10 minutes. A fruit wine such as the Muskoka Lakes Cranberry (LCBO #609701, $16.95) or Archibald Estates Apple Raspberry (Winery, $16.95) can be spicy, low alco- hol (nine per cent) and refreshing. As the afternoon progresses and temps get a wee bit hotter, Remy Pannier’s Rose d’Anjou (LCBO #12641, $14.15) made from Cabernet Franc grapes, comes with a slight touch of sweetness and flavours of strawberry, cherry, melon and spices. Slightly higher than the previous group, the alcohol level is still a respectable 10 per cent. Another low alcohol rose with a medi- um body comes from Sandbanks Estates (LCBO #244616, $13.95) in Prince Edward County. This wine comes with raspberry, watermelon, cherry and strawberry flavours and ends with a crisp refreshing acidity. The Huff Estates South Bay Vineyards Rose, (Vintages #63983, $16.95) has a slight increase in alcohol at 12.5 per cent and is more of a dining wine. The result is a very dry rose with ripe red fruit fla- vours and a nuance of rhubarb. Try it with balsamic salads, smoked fish and meat. While some Pinot and Gamay Noir can be quite powerful, there are many that have a superb lightness that makes them so refreshing and easy to drink. A great example of excellent value is the Kim Crawford Pinot Noir (Vintages #626390, $19.95) which is full of dark and red fruit, light to medium in body and still low in alcohol. Casa Dea Gamay (Vintages #347377, $16.15) is a fine example of the great wine made in the county. Light, fruity with fresh red fruit and pepper spice fla- vours. Both are outstanding with pork, grilled meat and vegetables. Summer drinking means moderation, lightness and fun.

The one other time the weapon was discharged by accident. Use of force includes any time an officer uses physical force that results in an inju- ry, when an officers draws his weapon and points or fires at a person, or uses a weapon other than a firearm. The last time a Durham officer shot a citi- zen was on Jan. 16, 2016 in Port Perry, when an officer responding to a call for a dis- traught man shot and killed Gerald Rattu. Prior to that, the last shooting was on Dec. 2, 2013, when Michael MacIsaac, suf- fering a medical episode and disoriented, ran naked from his Ajax home. An officer shot and killed him when Mr. MacIsaac approached holding a wrought iron table leg. Of the 85,569 calls officers responded to in 2015, use of force was employed in 209 incidents, or about .002 per cent of the time. A report to the Durham Police Services Board recently noted, “This statistic con- tinues to speak to the professional, strategic and purposeful manner in which our offi- cers engage the members of our communi- ty on a daily basis, as well as their commit- ment to making the Region of Durham the safest community to live, work, and play. It’s also a testament to the training provid- ed to our officers and the transferability of our training techniques from the classroom to the street.” The report also noted of the 209 use-of- force calls, only six officers reported sus- taining an injury while engaged in an encounter. “This suggests that 97.12 per of the time officer(s) were involved in incidents where they were required to use force, they effec- tively utilized weapons and tactics and avoided injuries,” it noted. These figures are similar to other police departments. In 2015, a Kingston Police Service report noted officers responded to about 40,000 calls and use of force was used in 52 incidents, while firearms were only drawn 43 times. In Toronto in 2013, police responded to about 1.9 million calls and use of force was used in 1,150 of those calls. Of the 39,500 arrests that year, force was needed less than three per cent of the time, according to a report prepared by the Toronto Police Ser- vice. Durham Staff Sergeant Todd Wilson knows about training, as he’s involved in the subject at the service’s innovation cen- tre at Durham College. “Any use of force is an exercise in judg- ment,” Staff Sgt. Wilson said. “Use of force is in the front of the notebook. It’s part of day one at police college.” Police are taught to constantly assess a situation. “A situation can unfold very dynamical- ly. What they choose in the first situation might not be (the same) in the second.” What an officer decides when dealing with a 20-year-old bodybuilder would be different than with a 65-year-old woman. When confronted with a situation, an offi- cer follows ‘assess, plan, act’ guidelines. An officer would try to control a situation ver- bally, he noted. “The decision to use lethal force really is based on imminence. Is it imminent or not? Would it involve an officer or the pub- lic?” Staff Sgt. Wilson said. “The overarch- ing message is an emphasis on communi- cation. As much as possible, have a clear, concise message.” The aim is always to de-escalate the situa- tion, he noted. “We want to use the lowest level of force to control the situation.” Of all the calls Durham police respond to, some level of force is used in one-quarter of one per cent of all calls. “In 99.75 per cent of the time, we didn’t use force.” Each year, officers undergo training based on real-life situations. In training, “we turn up the heat on these guys. Most won’t get into a situation like this.” The aim of training is to make it as realis- tic as possible, Staff Sgt. Wilson noted. “We’re pushing them beyond their com- fort zone. If we’re not challenging them, we’re not pushing enough.” We’re not revealing what the situations are the officers are being put in as the train- ing is ongoing. “We tell officers distance is time and time is safety. We tell officers to slow it down, slow it down,” Staff Sgt. Wilson noted. It’s been found when someone is in a high arousal state, they lose fine motor skills and are insensitive to pain, he added. “When it really goes bad, then violence happens. They can’t process properly because they’re in a highly dynamic state.” An officer who has time while in a situa- tion can use that time to defuse what’s hap- pening, he noted. Staff Sgt. Wilson said 1999 shootings at Columbine “changed everything” when it comes to police and shooters. “Containing a shooter and negotiating doesn’t work anymore. It allows them to kill more,” Staff Sgt. Wilson said. In the massacre, 12 students and one teacher were killed, before the two suspects died by suicide. Until Columbine, police would surround a site, set a perimeter and contain the damage. Now, officers are trained to enter and neutralize shooters. Use of force a last resort for police USE from page 1 Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Durham Regional Police Service officers, from top left, Darrell LaFrance, Andre Wyatt, and Paul Manning took part in a shoot scenario during a portion of their annual manda- tory use of force training. 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 7 , 2 0 1 6 11 P 1900 Dixie Rd., Pickering •905-831-5632 Wh i t e s R d .

A heat warning, issued by Environment Canada, occurs when the forecast includes a daytime high of at least 31 Celsius and overnight temperatures of 20 C or greater, or with humidex values of at least 40 for two or more days. Those needing to cool off can visit the Pickering Recreation Complex, located at 1867 Valley Farm Rd., from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Extra seating and water will be avail- able in the lobby. Study to be completed before the 2022 municipal election Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- In a city with unbalanced wards and a population expected to grow, the City of Pickering is undertaking a ward boundary review. Council approved the study, to be complet- ed before the 2022 municipal election, at its final meeting before summer break. The current configuration of Pickering’s wards isn’t equal. Ward 1 has 26,000 resi- dents, Ward 2 has 25,000 and Ward 3 has 39,000. Also, Duffin Heights and Seaton developments are expected to result in a sig- nificant population increase in Ward 3. Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson said his large ward requires him to spend more than the councillors with smaller wards in certain areas such as newsletters. “It’s very difficult,” he said. Pickering’s present ward design dates back to when the municipality’s population was less than 40,000. Today, the population is roughly 90,000 and could grow to more than 150,000 within the next 10 years. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Kevin Ashe and Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean asked why the changes can’t be put into effect earlier. City Clerk Debbie Shields said completing a full boundary review for the 2018 election would be too rushed. “They may look nothing like they do now,” she said of the wards. Ms. Shields added speeding up the process would not allow the City to meet require- ments by the Ontario Municipal Board. The extensive review will consider com- ments from councillors and the public, pro- tecting communities of interest and neigh- bourhoods, physical features such as natural boundaries, present and future population growth, and effective representation. Coun. McLean appreciates the review will consider keeping communities together. “We have to align it so that those of a diverse culture have an opportunity to represent their residents in these chambers,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan stressed the 2022 time frame won’t negatively impact residents. “This is not a question of democratic repre- sentation; this is a question of workload and equal distribution of that going forward,” he said. Based on other similar-sized municipalities that have recently undergone ward bound- ary reviews, staff estimates it will cost around $50,000 to $60,000, including a contingency amount to cover the cost of an OMB appeal if needed. Staff will include funding in the draft 2017 budget to hire a consultant to complete the review.

There has been a significant increase in attendance since it was announced on June 23 that after 97 years in operation, the zoo would be closing at the end of the sea- son, which runs until Thanksgiving. While some members of the local com- munity have taken a stand against the zoo and its co-owner Michael Hackenberger on social media, many supporters have chosen instead to join forces and create a campaign to save the zoo. A number of Facebook groups have been made in an effort to repair the damage done by the video released last December by PETA which appears to show Mr. Hack- enberger whipping a tiger. That video subsequently led the OSPCA to launch an investigation and charge Mr. Hackenberger with animal cruelty in April. He stepped down as director of the zoo shortly thereafter and has remained silent about the allegations. The News Advertiser attempted to contact Mr. Hackenberger for comment regard- ing the growing campaign in the commu- nity to save the Bowmanville Zoo. Angus Carroll, the director of communications, responded on Mr. Hackenberger’s behalf. Mr. Carroll said he spoke to Mr. Hacken- berger on Tuesday morning and said he wishes to pass on his thanks to the com- munity. “Like everyone at the zoo, he is humbled by the outpouring of support,” said Mr. Carroll. “He told me, ‘at this point, saving the zoo is an uphill battle, but where there is a will, there may be a way. We are looking at every option.’” When asked about the rising number of visitors, Mr. Carroll said “it is a long way from here to saving the zoo.” “Attendance is up, but not back to where it was in previous years. Nevertheless, everyone at the zoo is re-energized by our visitors and we thank everyone for their support,” he said. Signs reflecting the history of the Bowmanville Zoo will soon be put up out- side the main entrance on King Street East. At the July 4 Clarington council meeting, councillors unanimously voted in favour of a request by Mr. Hackenberger to allow for eight banner poles to be erected along the frontage of the property, with two signs on each. Ward 3 Councillor Corinna Traill told council that Mr. Hackenberger planned for the signs to feature historical photographs of the animals with the caption, “celebrat- ing them.” “Hopefully we can have a Save Our Zoo banner also,” she said. T-shirts with the caption #SaveBowman- villeZoo can be purchased at the zoo’s gift shop, with all proceeds going toward the campaign. Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster visited the zoo on Saturday, July 2 and said “it was exceptionally busy.” The Bowmanville Zoo held a free barbe- cue for visitors that day as a thank you to the community for the continuous sup- port. Campaign to save Bowmanville Zoo picking up steam Ron Pietroniro / Metroland BOWMANVILLE -- The Bowmanville Zoo will be closing at the end of the 2016 sea- son. Zoo officials made the announcement at a press conference late last month. Bowmanville Zoo Executive Administrator Lynn Holland, left, and Zoo Keeper Jackie walked through the property with six-week-old lion cubs named Blue and Green. A Facebook campaign has sparked hope the zoo may remain open beyond the end of the current season. 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 7 , 2 0 1 6 13 AP WE A L S O R E F I N I S H : • C o u n t e r t o p s • S h o w e r s Tubs • T i l e s • V a n i t i e s • C a b i n e t s & M o r e !

See more events at www.durhamregion.com-events Happy anniversary St. Francis Centre Performing arts venue aims to be versatile Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Robert Gruber is amazed some people still don’t know about the St. Francis Centre. Ajax’s manager of community and cultural development was speaking of the Town’s performing arts facility, the former St. Francis de Sales Catho- lic Church, which is marking its five- year anniversary in its new incarnation. Those who do see it, however, from the outside and the inside, are impressed with the place. “When they come by, they can’t believe how beautiful a facility it is,” Gruber says of the 150-seat centre. “They love how intimate it is. When you go into the facility, there’s not a bad seat in the house.” A variety of programming has been the centre’s hallmark -- and something Gruber wants to continue aiming for. Pop, classical and blues concerts, magic, comedy, children’s shows and TIFF films are all held there. Ajax Communi- ty Theatre, Music By the Bay Live, Young Singers, Eastside Harmony Chorus and the Durham Chamber Orchestra have made it their home. The variety of entertainment is matched by the venue’s versatility: the re-tractable seating means dinner the- atre, dances, fundraisers, family cele- brations, weddings and business meet- ings can be hosted. Gruber notes it was great timing for the Town when its Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan identified the lack of affordable performing arts space in Ajax and the former church was avail- able. With input from local groups, the venerable building, erected in 1871 and definitely showing its age, was seen as an opportunity. With a $1.7 million federal/ provincial grant, plus $2.8 million from Ajax, extensive work was done to make the building ready. Gruber says the for- mer church had to be rehabilitated, as the steeple was crumbling and the brick- work and foundation needed repairs. It also required an addition at the front to allow for a lobby, washrooms and a box office. The final piece was installing the stage, sound and lighting systems and the seating. A unique feature is that the original stained-glass windows remain. Gruber says depending on the event, in addition to Durham residents, people from Toronto and west and north of the big city have attended a show or other event at the St. Francis Centre. The venue’s birthday is celebrated on July 9 with an Evening of Wonder. Illu- sionist Ray Chance will perform, as will Envirodrum, making percussive instruments out of things like recycling boxes and using LED drumsticks. The night also includes a sneak peak at the 2016/17 season. Tickets are $30, which includes a cocktail reception and des- sert intermission. Get tickets at the St. Francis Centre Box Office, 78 Church St. S., the Ajax and McLean community centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, online at stfranciscentre.ca or by calling 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS). Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland AJAX -- Robert Gruber, manager of community and cultural development with the Town of Ajax, on stage at the St. Francis Centre.

Of course, community is important all year, but I think it’s fair to say that summer is the best time to get out and explore! This summer at Station Gallery, we’re celebrating and showcasing talent in the community with the Wave Summer Music series, featuring live musical performanc- es by Durham Region-based artists on the SG patio. The first Wave Summer Music night was in June and even though it was still a bit chilly out, the SG patio was packed and buzzing with excitement and activity. Durham Region-based duo Gib and Tam delighted the audience with a mix of their own incredible songs and cov- ers -- the crowd was so into their perfor- mance that a dance party broke out. The next Wave night is Thursday, July 14 and it’s going to be a celebration of young Whitby talent, with Annie Sumi and Little Ole Dumplings taking the patio stage. Annie’s sound has been described as beautiful and uplifting. Her songs take you on a soulful musical journey that spans folk, roots and country/rock. She is cur- rently touring across Canada and SG is thrilled she’s stopping by to share her gor- geous music with the community. Along with Annie, Little Ole Dumplings, a young Whitby-based duo made up of Amika Vie and Jonah Kissoon, bring their unique alternative folk sound to the patio. They have played throughout Durham and toured throughout Canada with Annie. This summer, the gallery will be filled with art created by people of all ages for High School Confidential and the 2016 Community Exhibition, What’s the Big Idea. High School Confidential is a crowd- sourced exhibit, featuring art that was cre- ated during high school. Works by people of all ages will be on display in the Coppa Gallery space. Throughout the rest of Sta- tion Gallery, What’s the Big Idea features artwork created by SG’s spring program participants. The entire gallery will be packed with art made by people from the community. Both exhibits open on Satur- day, July 16 at 1 p.m. I hope you’ll join in this celebration of community at SG this summer. Wave Summer Music tickets are $10 and are available at whitbystationgallery.com. -- Kerri King is the chief executive officer at Station Gallery in Whitby.

The band is on a mini-tour of Ontar- io and Quebec, along with Minnesota band Ashbringer, and is in Durham on July 13. “Vow of Thorns has been conceptual- izing albums and pushing the bound- ary between aggressive and emotion- al,” states a press release. “What once served as an anagram for Kevin Haw- thorne’s solo work is now a joint effort with Dustin Richards, where the duo has quickly become one of the most intimi- dating musical ventures to date. “The band pairs the forces of black metal and doom, blending the two styles with ease while maintaining a certain sense of tension and uncertainty in the air.” Vow of Thorns is releasing a new album, Farewell to the Sun, on July 15. Check out vowofthorns.bandcamp. com , where you can also pre-order the record. Tickets are $10 at the door and the music starts at 9 p.m. The Atria is at 59 King St. E.
