Paramedic Glen Gillies of Sta- tion 44 on Pharmacy Avenue and police Const. Scott Hampson of Toronto’s 43 Division were driv- ing home separately after finishing their shifts when they spotted a serious accident in the eastbound lanes at about 3:10 a.m. “I noticed a very badly destroyed vehicle that was on fire,” Mr. Gillies said. “There was somebody still trapped in the vehicle. I jumped out of the car as soon as I could, ran up with Scott and together we pulled the gentleman out of the vehicle before it burst totally into flames.” An 18-year veteran with Toronto EMS, he treated the man until an ambulance crew arrived. “The gentleman was unrespon- sive. He had obvious severe head injuries,” he said. “We were able to get him out safely before he actu- ally sustained any burn injuries.” Police said a 2007 Hyundai Tuc- son was traveling at a high speed when it went out of control, crossed all three lanes of traffic, rear-ended a tractor-trailer and caught fire. “The flames were coming up from underneath the car,” Mr. Gil- lies said. “I don’t generally get that close to fire. We have firefighters for that. But, this was a gentleman who needed to be removed from a vehicle in a very short period of time, and Scott and I just happened to be there at the right time.” Neither Mr. Gillies nor Mr. Hampson consider themselves he- HEADING FOR THE BIG WATER Photo by Mike Pochwat PICKERING — Ajax resident and avid windsurfer George Lewis crosses over from Frenchman’s Bay to Lake Ontario with his sail in hand to try his luck with the Lake Ontario winds.

Ms. Elston is a past chair- woman of the DEAC com- mittee, a position she held when the awards were start- ed in 2003. During her tenure Ms. Elston said the awards were her “baby”. DEAC is a volunteer ad- visory committee that pro- vides advice to the Region on environmental land-use planning issues. The awards were estab- lished to recognize and ac- knowledge environmental achievements of individu- als and organizations in the public, private and non-prof- it sectors within Durham. “When I helped create the awards, I never dreamed in a million years I would be receiving one,” she said. “It is a huge honour, par- ticularly a lifetime achieve- ment award.” Ms. Elston was the 2007 recipient of the Evylin Stroud Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes individu- als who continually promote the protection of the envi- ronment through small, but meaningful ways. She follows in the footsteps of Durham Sustain Ability Ex- ecutive Director Jack McGin- nis, an “environmental giant” who was given the lifetime achievement award in 2006, according to Ms. Elston. And the honour is intensified, she said, by being placed in the ranks of the award’s name- sake. “Evylin Stroud was amaz- ing and a good friend, so re- ceiving this award is bitter- sweet,” Ms. Elston said. Ms. Elston was honoured for almost 20 years of work in raising awareness regard- ing environmental issues that impact the quality of life. She has served on numerous environmental committees, including six years as the chairwoman of DEAC. The award found its home in Ms. Elston’s office at the City of Oshawa, where she has worked as the senior environmental co-ordinator since February. “It will drive me in my work here,” she said. “I am very fortunate to be in a po- sition with the City that will give my work legs.” The awards program has six different categories, each named in memory of past environmental leaders. The Dr. J. Murray Speirs Restoration Award, given for efforts in helping restore degraded natural environ- ments, went to The Rotary Club of Port Perry for the restoration of the Rotary En- vironmental Park Boardwalk at Lake Scugog. The restoration was done with minimal environmental impact and allows public ac- cess to the marsh. Katheryn Chenier, past president of the Rotary Club, said the planning for the res- toration project took about five years and six to eight weeks of work. “Because of where it is in the marsh lands, we had to work with Kawartha Region Conservation Authority,” she said. “And we applied for, and got, Trillium funding for it.” She gives much credit to club member John Rich- ardson for sticking with the project through all sorts of complicated paperwork re- quired. A reception was held to celebrate the achievements of all nominees and an- nounce the award recipients. At a meeting of Regional Council, winners were pre- sented with a certificate of merit. The George A. Scott Stew- ardship Award, which goes to an individual, group or company whose efforts have helped maintain, protect and preserve our natural environ- ment, went to Erast Huculak, of Toronto, for donating 552 acres of environmentally sen- sitive land on the Oak Ridges Moraine to the Kawartha Re- gion Conservation Authority (KRCA). The Irene Kock Educa- tion/Communication Award was presented to Doug Lock- rey, of Pickering, for com- municating his knowledge of Durham Region’s natural en- vironment through the self- publication of several envi- ronmental books and field guides, as well as leading interpretive hikes for youth groups. The Eric Krause Innova- tive Plans/Policies/Initiatives Award, for “out-of-the-box” thinking and innovative ef- forts to encourage positive change to the environment, went to Marty Kimmerer for opening the first 100 per cent solvent free garment clean- ing facility in North America. The facility, which opened in Oshawa in 2002, has become a model for other facilities in Canada. The Jessica Markland Part- nership Award, for co-opera- tive efforts of those who strive to enhance the environment by building partnerships with public, community and private interests, was handed to the KRCA for leading a group to transform the East Cross Forest Area, in Scugog Township, from an area of environmental degradation to that of a future conserva- tion area. pickeringtowncentre.com SUMMER SIDEWALK SALE FREE New“Go Green” Monday, July 16th to Sunday, July 22nd * reusable bag!

He is now listed in serious condition, an im- provement. The truck driver wasn’t hurt. OPP Const. Dave Wood- ford, media officer for the highway safety division, said police are not releasing the man’s name because charg- es are possible. He said while the driver wasn’t racing, witnesses, namely Mr. Gillies and Mr. Hampson, told officers “speed was involved and it was more than 150 km/hr.” Hwy. 401 eastbound was closed at Salem Road for about five hours as police investigated.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 13, 2007 durhamregion.com Flight not an option in bear encounters If it happens to you, fight the urge to run W e were talking about the near bear attack in Muskoka recent- ly and what to do if you come across a Black Bear. Did you see the story? A chef at a resort was preparing a meal when some- one told him a bear was trying to get into the kitchen. He decided to have a look and encountered a bear that charged him, forcing him to take an unplanned dip in Lake Rosseau. Believe it or not, you could easily en- counter a bear in Durham. Uxbridge and Port Perry have fairly frequent sightings, and a bear reportedly was in Ajax last summer. Clarington and north Oshawa are certainly not out of the question. Rule No. 1 is don’t run. Easier said than done, right? I hear you, but it’s a virtual guarantee that a bear will chase you and bears are much faster. If the bear hasn’t seen you, quietly move out of the area. If it has seen you, talk to it, be calm. If the bear approach- es, wave your arms above your head and yell. Stand on a rock or log to look bigger. A bear charging at you because you’re too close to its cubs is defending them and, as I’ve read, that’s when the old, lie down, curl-up-in-the-fetal-position- and-clasp-your-hands-behind-your- head approach is the better way. Seeing you’re not a threat, the wisdom goes, the mother bear will eventually depart. Some of you might be snickering. A friend of mine, who grew up in the bush, would be among you. We were picking raspberries once and he asked, “What would you do if a bear came along, rip- ping and roaring?” I said I wouldn’t run and would slowly back away while fac- ing the bear. “That’s good,” he replied. “It could eat you while I ran away.” I interviewed a young guy several years back who was in the woods when he heard a noise behind him. This fellow had been trained on what do if he en- countered a bear and knew not to run. So, when a bear appeared, what did he do? He ran, and before long the bear had tripped him up and was chewing on his pants. Fortunately, a barking dog gave him the chance to get away. It would be hard not to run. Easy if you don’t see the bear. At my par- ents’ friends’ cottage when I was a kid, I jumped at the chance to see the bears at the dump, and several people had the same thought. It was dusk, and as we watched, a bear approached from behind and walked between me and a woman on its way to the trash, ignoring us. She was in a state of shock, and I had trouble sleeping that night. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Mike Ruta news editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tory promise the right formula For well over a decade it’s been a constant refrain from the combined forces that make up the 905: we are un- derfunded. From transit to education to social welfare to health care needs, the communities that ring Toronto and which have grown at a far more rapid pace than has the megac- ity, have been unable to get the per capita funding they need to cope with that growth. While far-flung communities across the province have their funding requirements adequately met by Queen’s Park, places like Durham Region lag behind when it comes time to pass out the grants and budget deficits are common for places like Lak- eridge Health. But John Tory, if he’s at the helm as Ontario’s next premier come Oct. 11, promises to change all that. The Progressive Conservative leader has had several years to come to grips with issues plaguing Ontario since he took the helm when former head Ernie Eves stepped down. He has promised to push for- ward with the 407 extension if elected and, recently, vowed to close the health-care funding gap long lamented by the people of the 905. As pointed out on a number of occasions by Lakeridge Health’s board, Durham hospitals are behind the starting line every year when it comes to handing out health care funds. On a per capita basis, in fact, Durham gets $279 per person less per year in funding compared to our fellow Ontarians. And that’s clearly unfair. But it’s not a new problem. Regional chairman Roger Ander- son has spent the past decade making noise about the under- funding issue and has lobbied long and hard for a better deal for the region. The GTA/905 Health Care Alliance, a group made up of politicians, business leaders and other concerned citizens, has consistently raised the issue with little success. The key is to find more health care funding without robbing other parts of the province to provide what is needed in the 905. And that just means finding more money. Mr. Tory says he will do just that and pledges he will spend $8.5 billion more on health care annually by the end of a four- year term than is currently spent. And he promises to provide equal funding to all areas of the province under a new funding formula that takes account of the massive growth in the 905. There is an election coming up shortly and we can only hope Mr. Tory is not merely fishing for votes. We trust this is a promise he will keep. Not everyone happy about 407 extension To the editor: Re: ‘Route is set so get 407 built’, July 11 editorial. Not everyone is quite so gung-ho about the 407 extension. It will be a sad day for Clarington when villages and hamlets are divided, family farms destroyed and the sense of neighbour- hood and community will be replaced by a 400-series highway. Do people really have an understanding of the impact of this highway and its interchanges? Do yourself a favour and travel the recommended route (available at www.407eastea.com). When you’re driving, notice the farms. Now look at the area again imagining a highway, destroying what is currently there. The solution to the traffic and transportation of goods...I don’t know. I travel the 401 and know the problems of traffic congestion. I also know that west of Toronto, with all the highways and alter- nate routes available, there is still significant congestion. There is no simple solution but I just don’t believe that destroying what we have across east Durham is the way to go.

According to the annual re- port, strong demand for residen- tial housing in Durham Region has placed upward pressure on both sales and average price this year. The number of homes sold so far in 2007 -- approximately 4,616 units -- is up by almost eight per cent over last year. “It has been incredible,” Mr. Smith says of the numbers. Even as the real estate mar- ket enters its traditionally slower period, Mr. Smith still predicts strong sales. “We’ll have a steady summer and a strong fall,” he said. With increasing demand, sup- ply levels are tightening -- es- pecially in areas like Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Listings overall in the region have dropped by 10 per cent from one year ago. Clarington, however, remains the star of Durham’s real estate market, where already-strong sales activity continues to in- crease and active listings are on the upswing. Year-to-date, unit sales were up 17 per cent to 816 units, the housing report showed. And av- erage price has increased six per cent to $247,180. “Both first-time and move-up buyers are working in tandem, fuelling demand for single-fam- ily, semi-detached and town- homes,” the report said. And it isn’t just Clarington. Michael Polzler is the execu- tive vice president and regional director for ReMax Ontario-At- lantic Canada. He says the report shows that smaller, more reason- ably-priced centres are experi- encing exponential growth this year. “Affordability is a huge factor,” he said. “This is especially true in com- munities within close proximity to the Greater Toronto Area -- as far as Bowmanville to the east, Barrie to the north and Strat- ford to the west,” he said. “Many purchasers are willing to sacri- fice location for value, as long as it allows them to realize home ownership.” So what does all this mean? Mr. Smith says that the push for home ownership means con- sumer confidence in the econ- omy is strong -- good news for Durham Region whose manu- facturing sector has suffered of late. “Even with the strong Cana- dian dollar and its impact on the manufacturing sector here, we are still seeing confidence in the economy,” he said. “We haven’t seen a big impact from the dol- lar. So far, at least, it has had little or no impact. That doesn’t mean it won’t in the future but at this point it hasn’t.” The report, in fact, pointed to the diversification of Oshawa’s economy as the reason for a pos- itive future outlook. “The new university, as well as the prospect of four more nucle- ar reactors in Darlington, makes Oshawa much more economi- cally viable,” the report stated. “The job market continues to be healthy, with a shortage of skilled trades.” Mr. Smith also points to long- term large construction projects -- such as the Durham Consoli- dated Courthouse -- as provid- ing a big boost to real estate. “It creates jobs and brings people to the market,” he said. “Also, those working in trades feel more secure in their jobs and may want to move up in the market. It’s good overall.” And the good news for Dur- ham’s real estate market isn’t going to end any time soon. “It’s been good for the last few years and will be in the fore- seeable future,” Mr. Smith said. “We’re not going to go through the highs and lows like some places. We are going to stay strong and steady.” Business TRENDset Note ‘Estimates from the Labour Force Survey showed that em- ployment was little changed for a second consecutive month in May, with gains in full-time em- ployment mostly offset by losses in part-time employment. The unemployment rate held steady for the fourth straight month at 6.1 per cent, a 33-year low.’ The Daily, Statistics Canada. Retail habits Retail sales in Canada in- creased moderately in April, ac- cording to a new report by Sta- tistics Canada. Sales advanced 0.4 per cent to an estimated $34.1 billion. This moderate growth was the third monthly increase in a row for Canadian retailers. Higher sales at new car dealers were the largest con- tributor to April’s gains.

The Durham Region Health De- partment has received a $10,000 grant from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario to present a Healthy Weights Forum for School Community Council (SCC) mem- bers, this fall. Community partners, including the school boards and local Heart and Stroke branch, are involved in planning the forum, which will ad- dress strategies to make home and school healthier places for kids. “One in four kids in this country are not at a healthy weight and that puts them at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other health problems later on,” says Tyler Moon, community mission specialist with the local branch of the Heart and Stroke Founda- tion. “We want to get (parents) involved in some strategies.” On June 27, Active Healthy Kids Canada released its annual report card on physical fitness, giving Ca- nadian kids a D when it comes to overall physical activity indicators. “Physical activity -- along with healthy eating -- is the most effec- tive prescription for treating the ep- idemics of overweight and obesity that are now the No. 1 threats to the health of Ontario children,” said Phyllis Berck, senior manager of the Heart and Stroke Healthy Weights Strategy and a forum guest speaker. All forum participants receive free copies of the School Nutrition Handbook and the School Physical Activity Handbook. The forum is Saturday, Oct. 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, 1375 Harwood Ave. N., in Ajax. Members of SCCs from across the Region are invited to attend.

The Durham District School Board’s superintendent of facili- ties services, Mr. Massie is retir- ing after 21 years of service to the board. His job includes oversee- ing the construction and mainte- nance of schools and all buildings throughout the board. He began as the manager of custodial services. During the past 10 years, the board has built 34 elementary, two high schools and several additions. “It has been a distinct pleasure and honour to work with super- intendents, past and present col- leagues, and trustees, past and present... I’m going to miss each and every one of you,” said Mr. Massie, during farewells at the Durham District School Board’s June 18 meeting. Craig Burch, director of educa- tion, thanked Mr. Massie for caring about staff and his job, as well as his constant concern for the wel- fare of students. David Visser, a former superin- tendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, will take Mr. Massie’s place on Aug. 1.

Announced Thursday July 5, the univer- sity is receiving a research chair for health informatics valued at $1.5 million. The money will establish a health in- formatics laboratory on campus that uses simulation to research work with the po- tential to improve survival rates for prema- ture babies, provide access to neonatolo- gists in remote areas of Canada, and help detect infection earlier. “I’m extremely pleased and honoured to be leading crucial research work that has vast potential for intensive care patients, in particular, those in neonatal care here in Canada and around the globe,” said Dr. Carolyn McGregor, associate professor of UOIT’s faculties of business and informa- tion technology and health sciences, who was awarded the chair. “Advancements in health informatics offer great potential to save and improve the quality of life for many Canadians, and very possibly people all over the world.” The Canada Research Chair award pro- vides Ms. McGregor with $500,000 spread evenly over five years. She’ll also get close to $1 million more in combined infrastructure funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the provincial ministry of research and in- novation, and UOIT. The money will support fundamental work focused on the simulation of current and future functions within intensive care units, particularly neonatal. The health informatics laboratory will contain three medical devices used within intensive care units, along with a range of computers, personal digital assistants and computer servers. It will enable the simulation of a range of scenarios incorporating the care units, remote hospitals, and a referral control centre with specialist remote access. THIS SALE IS TOO POPULAR TO END!

But they say it will be two months now, maybe longer, before the hospital will return to service after an electrical fire there last week. “We suspected when we said a minimum of a month that it could be far longer,” said Lakeridge spokesman Arnel Schiratti. “It could be longer (than eight weeks). It will depend on how far we have to get into the walls.” The four-storey hospital sustained extensive smoke damage from the July 2 fire, which began in a lower level electrical room and led to the movement of 71 patients to other Lakeridge sites in Oshawa, Port Perry and Bowmanville. With the hospital sitting full of water and without power for several days over this humid spell, Mr. Schi- ratti said Lakeridge has an- other “significant issue” on its hands -- mould. “Many walls have to be replaced,” he explained. All of the workers in- volved in the cleanup ef- forts that started last Friday have to wear N-95 masks, the more durable surgi- cal masks worn during the SARS epidemic a few years ago. “We are very concerned about the materials that burned in the fire and the smoke,” Mr. Schiratti said. Although Lakeridge’s insurers are still working on a damage estimate, the corporation is adamant the Whitby site will reopen. Any plans to build a new full- service hospital in Whitby are many years away. Lakeridge Health Whitby provides dialysis, complex continuing and palliative care. “We were very fortu- nate it hit us at this time of year,” Mr. Schiratti said, of the fire. “Some beds at Lakeridge Health weren’t open because of the sum- mer slow down. It’s a time of year when many patients don’t want elective surgery and a traditionally slower period due to staff vaca- tions.” “In normal circumstanc- es we wouldn’t have had the ability to have 71 spots open,” he added. “It’s why it’s very important for us to move quickly and make changes to Whitby to get patients back in before things start ramping up in September.” Clinics normally held at Lakeridge Health Whitby resumed this week using temporary locations set up by the corporation. Some were vacant spaces that were being used at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for cancer care but hadn’t been used since the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Re- gional Cancer Centre opened in May. Those areas have now been retrofitted to accom- modate the 100 dialysis patients normally treated each day, six days a week in Whitby. Last week, some were being transported to clinics as far away as Pickering, Markham and Cobourg. “We’re extremely pleased to be able to get those clin- ics up and running, espe- cially dialysis,” said Mr. Schiratti. “That was our ini- tial concern, having to force those patients (to travel).” As for the 71 patients moved from the hospital last week, Lakeridge is try- ing to minimize any further inter-hospital transfers, he said. Whitby patients are being “clustered” on floors together where possible. pickeringtowncentre.com GREEN STYLE WINNERS! Congratulations to the “Be Seen Be Green” bag artwork contest winners!

Now, other soldiers will be able to have a cup of Tim Hortons coffee in the name of the 25-year-old Bowmanville solider, killed last month in Afghanistan. The ROSE -- which stands for Rays of Sunshine Every- where -- Volunteers have, over the last several months, been donating gift certifi- cates for the popular coffee joint to troops in Afghani- stan. “We’re going to send them every three months until they come home,” said Mary Taylor, a Bowmanville resident who is a member of the organization. The idea was to provide a “touch of home” to Cana- dian troops in Khandahar. Originally, they were going to send coffee, “but it’s easi- er to get gift certificates in a plane than coffee,” said Ms. Taylor. With a Tim Hortons on the base at Khandahar, the certificates can be put to good use. “In that 8 (foot) by 8 (foot) space, while you order, you’re home for a minute,” said Lieutenant Colonel John Conrad, a Clarington resident, who, as a logistics commander, led the team responsible for opening the Tim’s on the Afghanistan base. Being able to take advan- tage of the Tim Hortons on site allows the soldiers over- seas a little emotional relief, he said. “Warfare is fought on the physical and mental plane,” he said. And take advantage, the soldiers do, said Lt. Colonel Conrad. The Tim Hortons opened a year ago Canada Day, while he was still serv- ing in Afghanistan. “We had what they thought was a four-month supply of donut batter,” he said. “By mid-July, we were out of donuts.” Ensuring supply of the necessary ingredients for the Tim’s operation was an important and challenging aspect of his job, said Lt. Colonel Conrad. “You can only get so much through a straw,” he said, of the logistical chal- lenge of getting supplies to the Khandahar base. “It’s a guns or butter argument.” So, the gift certificates will be appreciated, he said. When the soldiers go into the Tim Hortons there, they “get a cup of home. It’s just like having a bit of home- town Canada. It’s deeply profound,” said Lt. Colonel Conrad. Along with the gift certifi- cates, the ROSE Volunteers have chosen to set up an award for the Cadet Corps in honour of Trooper Cas- well, for use for summer camp. “We called it the Spirit of Service, because that’s what Darryl had,” said Ms. Taylor. The award in their son’s name is a “great honour,” said Trooper Caswell’s step- mother, Christine, noting her stepson was a cadet in Oshawa. The family remains in awe of the support they’ve received here at home and from around the world. On Tuesday, they received a let- ter from Prince Charles, who is the Colonel in Chief of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, of which Trooper Caswell was a member. “We’re overwhelmed and touched by it all,” said the trooper’s father, Paul. The gift certificates will be sent on to Afghanistan immediately, promised Lt. Colonel Conrad. “Raise a cup in loving memory of Darryl Caswell,” reads the letter to be sent along with them. 905-683-0887 OR 416-984-4332905-683-0887 OR 416-984-4332 CUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESKCUSTOMER CARE AND ORDER DESKPICKERINGPICKERING 2490 Brock Rd.

Still other native plants prefer a boggy site where water collects in the spring and dries out as the sea- son warms. • Prepare to Plant When preparing a new site, start the fall before you plan to plant by laying sheets of black plastic over the soil. This will kill most weeds. Remove the sheets in the spring and plant the garden with potted plants rather than sowing seeds. These young plants will become established more quickly than seedlings and are better able to combat weed seeds that blow into the fl ower bed from sur- rounding areas. • Select the Right Plants A garden that offers a range of fl ower colours and shapes which bloom at different times of the season, provides a good habitat for wildlife visitors. Butterfl ies feast on milk- weed and clover in their larval stage and switch to nectar-producing perenni- als such as bee balm and sedum when they mature into butterfl ies. Hum- mingbirds are attracted to tubular-shaped fl owers in shades of red and pink.

Go to InsuranceHotline.com and find a killer insurance rate. Killer insurance rates are elusive, and hard to find. Many good drivers are held hostage by high insurance rates. It doesn’t have to be this way. Policing of these killer insurance rates is the responsibility of your government. They post rate comparison “warnings” alerting you to how easily you could be in danger of grossly overpaying for insurance. To stay safe you need to compare what you’re paying right now, to the best rates available in the insurance industry. InsuranceHotline.com does this for you for free. It instantly compares over 30 insurance company rates to find you the lowest. Look at this government comparison, taken from www.fsco.gov.on.ca as showing $1,000’s of dollars difference between insurance company rates for this upstanding married couple with a clean driving record!!! If you don't dare to compare, you'll never know if you have a "Killer Insurance Rate" or if you're being killed by what you're paying. Tickets, accidents, your age, the car you drive, your postal code, and many other factors can make you prey to high rates. In fact every year your profile changes. You get older, your car gets older. Further insurance companies can change their rates up to 4 times a year! You also need to know that insurance companies “profile” their rates differently. I’ve seen drivers with tickets and an accident pay lower rates than good drivers with clean records, only because they’ve protected themselves by doing their own rate comparison.

Ajax Budokan kids golden at nationals in New Brunswick Club top ranked again at Canadian junior championships AJAX — Ajax Budokan Judo Club athletes floored their com- petitors while reaping medals at the Canadian National Junior Judo Champion- ships in Moncton, New Brunswick recently. The Ajax club fin- ished with three gold, a silver and a bronze medal at the champi- onships for junior age (13 to 15 years) and ju- venile (16 to 18 years) competitors. For Budokan coach Dr. Kevin Doherty, the overall results from his judokas were strong once again this year in the two-day meet that attracted more than 500 competitors. “We did very well. We were the No. 1 club in the country again,” says Doherty. Leading the pack was Derek Langlois, who produced a gold medal in the minus-51 kilo- gram juvenile division. Renee Guggino earned her gold medal in the women’s minus-52 kilogram weight class in the junior category. David Ancor also struck gold in the men’s minus-55 kilogram class in the junior division. Earning a silver medal was Jakub Walsh in the juvenile men’s minus-60 kilo- gram category. Darcy Reis managed a bronze medal while competing in the junior men’s minus-66 kilo- gram weight bracket. Four other members of the Budokan club earned fifth-place fin- ishes. They were: Nicholas Ewees (juve- nile men’s minus-48 ki- lograms); Jessica Szabo (juvenile women’s minus-45 kilograms); Jeff Murley (junior men’s minus-73 kilo- grams) and Chelcie Doherty (junior wom- en’s minus-63 kilo- grams).

Stratford Festival director Susan Schulman thought so too and cast her as understudy for the role in this season’s play, based on Harp- er Lee’s award-winning book. Madison, age 9, has a regular role, that of Eunice Deas, a child who sits through the trial that is the centre of the book. But, for eight performances, she stars as Scout, one of three chil- dren caught up in the small-town furor of the American south when a respected lawyer defends a black man charged with raping a white woman. “She sort of matches my person- ality, spunky and feisty,” Madison, a talkative, outgoing girl, said dur- ing an interview. The Grade 5 student at Win- chester Public School admitted she’s having the time of her life acting at Stratford, something most young actors never get to do. “I just love the experience,” she said. “Ever since I was little, I just love to be on stage. I get to meet the famous actors in Stratford.” She said she was happy when she found out she landed the part. “My brother was reading the book at the time. I said ‘Connor, I got the part’ and he said ‘Cool.’” So this past winter, when her friends were going to school and doing all the things they enjoy, Madison was in Stratford, living with families there and going to rehearsals Monday through Satur- day, Once the season opened, she’s been back home, her mom Peggy Jo Scott driving her back and forth for her performances. (In the enriched program, Mad- ison was able to work ahead and complete much of her school work before she left for Stratford in Feb- ruary. She’s also received home tutoring). Six young actors (Madison being the only non-professional one chosen) are playing the parts of the three main children in the play. For this first time, Stratford is giving the understudies their own performances where they act with the regular cast, Scott said. Madison has already done three and will do five more, including one July 19. Her mom is pleased Madison has the chance to play Scout sev- eral times this season. But, she got a head start on it during the pre- view runs when the actress who plays the role couldn’t complete one show. Madison got to finish the show and received a standing ovation not only from the audi- ence but from the other actors. Her mom said Madison later wondered what the fuss was about, adding that’s what she was getting paid for. Madison has had her long hair chopped off for the play (part of her contract), adopted an accent and got used to attending long rehearsals where she spent a lot of time watching and learning. “She’s learned what it’s like to be an understudy. It’s a lot of sitting and taking notes,” her mom said. “Although it can be kind of bor- ing, I have to look past it and focus on what I have to do,” Madison said. She’s hoping her experience will take her far. She wants to do more plays, especially musicals, movies and TV work. Madison’s first taste of the stage came early. She started in dance and by age four was competing and doing solos. “Dance gave me more confi- dence,” she said. “I just love entertaining people. Dancing and acting are my two fa- vourite things in the world. Danc- ing is so much fun. I just love being on stage and enjoy dance and act- ing, just being up there and every- body watching ... just that feeling.” Doing her first dance solo fu- eled her desire to act. She’s been in Oshawa Little Theatre’s production of South Pa- cific and Port Perry Youth Group’s Onstage Now. This summer, be- sides appearing at Stratford, she’s taking OLT’s new summer theatre program for young people. When she’s not dancing or act- ing, she likes to swim, hang out with her friends and shop. At Stratford, she has three or four shows a week. Her mother doesn’t mind driving her to Strat- ford and back (she and the mother of another young actor alternate). “She is so happy that it is worth every mile we drive,” Scott said. “We’re proud of her. She is so happy. She loves to do it.” Scott said Madison was deter- mined to be an actor when she went to see her uncle, Robert Creighton, in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in New York. The whole family, including mom, dad Jack and older siblings Chloe and Connor, is proud of her.

Keith Campbell: Turn of the Screw opens July 21 at 1 p.m., with the North Bay-based artist in attendance. He’ll speak about his porcelain works and will give informal exhibition tours. He’ll also answer questions. The exhibit, curated by gal- lery interim curator Gil McElroy, brings together the artist’s new and recent porcelain works, mark- ing his shift from wheel-thrown clay pieces to purely sculptural ceramics. He creates representational sculptures that lovingly satirize important aspects of Canadian culture, such as the beaver, pick- erel and even the mythical snow worm of Northern Ontario. He uses classic vessel forms as sites of cultural reference, incor- porating mixed media, including a set of moose antlers. Also opening July 21 is work by 23 members of the Durham Potter’s Guild. The reception will be held at 1 p.m. Both exhibits are on view through Sept. 2. 416-701-1201 Scarborough | 2130 Lawrence Ave. E.

Opening night will feature cocktails and hors d’ouevres before the show, the presentation of Shakespeare’s comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, and then a re- ception with the cast. The cost is $50 per person, with proceeds going to support Driftwood’s summer of Shakespeare in the parks throughout Durham Region and beyond. Nancy Bongard, Driftwood board member, noted that with closing night taking place in Toronto, the opening night gala is the one local chance to see the play and meet the cast. The gala starts at 6:30 p.m. in the grounds of Parkwood, Simcoe Street North at Adelaide Avenue. The play starts at 7:30 p.m. For tickets, call 905- 576-2396. This summer, Driftwood will be pre- senting the play on a new round stage with new lighting, thanks to Ontario Tril- lium funding. Bongard said the round stage will improve sightlines for the audi- ence, which will sit on all four sides of the stage. Much Ado About Nothing, with its in- gredients of disdain, slander, death and love, will be set in post-First World War central Canada and feature the music of the period, arranged and performed by Kevin Fox and Tom Lillington, who will also write some original music. The play features Steven Burley, in his 12th season, as Don John/Balthasar/Dog- berry, Mark Crawford, one season with Driftwood, as Antonio/Verges, Bethany Jillard, two seasons with Driftwood, as Hero/Conrade, Christopher Kelk, in his second season, as Leonato, Peter Nicol, seven seasons with Driftwood, as Don Pedro/First Watch, and Andrew Scanlon, in his second season, as Benedick. New to Driftwood are Daniel Briere as Bora- chio/Friar Francis/Messenger, Jennifer Finestone as Margaret/Sexton, Helen King as Beatrice and Benjamin Mehl as Claudio/Second Watch. Performances this summer begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission for the regular shows is pay what you can, with a sug- gested rate of $15 per person. The schedule in Durham is: Oshawa -- July 17 (opening night gala) and 18 at Parkwood Greenwood -- July 19, Greenwood Community Centre Port Perry -- July 22, Palmer Park Whitby -- July 24, Celebration Square, Whitby Central Library Pickering -- July 25, Esplanade Park Ajax -- July 26, Rotary Park Bowmanville - Aug. 3, Visual Arts Cen- tre of Clarington.
