Home My WebLink AboutNA2007_08_17Kids learn survival techniques at Pickering pool By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Learning to swim is much more than simply acquiring the perfect technique, says the City of Pickering’s aquatic programmer. “The reality is learning to swim is just a way of keeping people safe around the water and so much of what we do deals with promot- ing water safety and public aware- ness,” Nancy Sands-Bayley said. The City recognizes the possi- bility of water hazards, and that’s why the aquatics staff held Water Smart Day at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex on Aug. 9. It was open to kids and adults, but most- ly kids - about 250 throughout the day - took part. Activities were de- signed to prepare adults and kids for dangerous circumstances such as falling through ice or falling off a dock, since most accidents occur where there are no lifeguards. “By training lay people, or mem- bers of the community, to do sim- ple and safe rescues, we increase the chances of a positive result out in the community where there are no lifeguards,” she said. One activity involved placing pennies at the bottom of a bucket and filling it with ice. The kids got 20 seconds to see how many pennies they could retrieve, which taught them just how cold Canadian water can get. Lifeguards also handed out a number of the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive Standard certifi- cates. In order to receive one, partici- pants had to roll into deep water, tread water for one minute and swim 50 metres. Ms. Sands-Bayley explained the roll into water is de- signed to teach participants how to orient themselves if they fall off a dock or boat. Staff taught them to tread water for one minute because people who fall into Canada’s water have a tendency to gasp since it can be very cold. “The ability to tread water al- lows you to breathe while you’re regaining control of your body and your breathing,” she said. She explained the ability to swim 50 metres is important since most drownings occur three to 15 metres from safety, and people are usually in regular clothing. “If they can swim 50 metres in good conditions in a bathing suit, they should be able to make it in poor conditions for 15 metres,” she said. Lifeguard and swimming instructor Kellie Fisher said the kids participating in the activities did quite well. 301 B a y l y S t .

But she soon realized if she didn’t be- come a part of mainstream Ca- nadian society, she could be left behind. She then began organiz- ing various events and became involved in various cultural or- ganizations throughout Canada. Now she’s the chairwoman of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Associa- tion of Durham (ICCAD). Pretend it’s very very cold Photo by Rob Mitchell Celina Leung, left, and Pranavie Premkumar take part in Water Smart Day, hosted by the award winning aquatic staff at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The event simulates climbing onto an ice floe after falling into a lake during the win- ter, a little more fun in practice than in a real-life situation. Safety tips • Recognize the need for help: non-swimmers seldom wave for help, their eyes get big with panic, drowning is si- lent, and they’ll often claw at the surface. • Assess the risk: Make sure you’re safe, find things that float and get bystanders to help. • Act (after calling for help): Tell them to stay calm and swim to safety, throw a flotation device to them and have them kick to safety, then give them an object, but stay low and hold on to something solid. If the water is waist- deep, wade and throw or reach out a floating object.

Local 222, which represents workers at the GM plants, is asking that em- ployees not driving a GM-manufac- tured vehicle be forced to pay a $100 per year parking fee and park in designated areas at the back of GM parking lots. “It sends a message to our membership that it is important to support the industry,” said Keith Os- borne, plant chairman. He said the policy will reward those who are loyal to the GM brand and the money raised from the fee would go to a local charity. The request is in keeping with the union’s recent Buy Domestic campaign and its current Manufacturing Matters campaign -- both of which push the loyalty mes- sage. In a letter to GM presi- dent Arturo Elias, Mr. Os- borne said the union plans to continue fighting for the future of manufacturing jobs in Canada by reiterat- ing that message. “Our experience is that people need to understand there are economic conse- quences that accompany their choice of vehicle,” he wrote in the letter dated June 12, 2007. But Stew Low, spokes- man for GM Canada, says the company doesn’t agree that implementing fees is the best way to instill loy- alty. “It is our desire that con- sumers will choose GM ve- hicles because they are high quality, offer the safety fea- tures and value -- warranty coverage, OnStar, XM radio -- they are looking for,” he said. “While we appreciate the idea to promote GM cars and trucks, we have decided not to move forward with the idea the union present- ed as some of those non- GM vehicles may belong to visitors (or) suppliers,” he added. The union, however, has already moved forward with a similar parking policy in its own lots by restricting access to vehicles not built by the Big Three: Gener- al Motors, Chrys- ler and Ford. All non-Big Three vehicles now have to park at the farthest corner of the lot. Local 222 President Chris Buckley said the policy is about educating people on the importance of buy- ing North American-made vehicles and encouraging those who make money from GM to buy GM. “For the most part, our members that we represent at General Motors, drive GM vehicles or Big Three vehicles,” he said. “There are a lot of contractors who get hired by General Mo- tors for different projects -- people who are not rep- resented by Local 222 or CAW -- (and) although they are being hired to perform a task by General Motors and being paid by General Motors, they are driving imported vehicles. Shame on them. If they’re earning money from General Mo- tors, they should be buying and driving a GM product.” -- with files from Stefanie Swinson GM rejects idea of parking fees For more on this story ‘It is our desire that consumers will choose GM vehicles because they are high quality, offer the safety fea- tures and value...’ STEW LOW Victims were frail, vulnerable: prosecutor By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Citing his record of “morally repugnant offences,” a prosecutor has called for a peni- tentiary term for a man convicted of sexually assaulting vulnerable women in his Oshawa apartment building. Zialuddin Yusufi was on proba- tion for a previous sexual assault when he victimized women in his Nonquon Road apartment block, groping and grabbing two of them and forcing sexual intercourse on another, Crown counsel Brenda Green said during a sentencing hearing in Superior Court in Whitby Wednesday. Ms. Green urged Justice Bruce Glass to send the Afghan refugee to prison for five years for assaults on the victims, all of them older women with health issues that ren- dered them particularly vulnerable. “This man deserves no sympa- thy,” Ms. Green said. “He selected opportunistically older female neighbours who suf- fered some form of physical disabil- ity to sexually attack.” During his trial Mr. Yusufi denied groping and kissing two women -- a 49-year-old breast cancer patient and another, 48, who was left physi- cally frail by a series of strokes -- and said sexual intercourse with a 57- year-old neighbour was the result of her seducing him, Ms. Green noted. The rape victim, a diminutive woman who has since moved sev- eral times and had two heart attacks, is left humiliated when she remem- bers how Mr. Yusufi threw money at her following the assault, the pros- ecutor said. “He had the audacity to toss five dollars toward her as he was leav- ing her home... he treated her like a cheap prostitute,” she said. A pre-sentence report filed with the court indicates Mr. Yusufi dis- plays no empathy toward his vic- tims and makes questionable claims about being tortured by the Taliban in his native Afghanistan, from which he emigrated in 2002. It was in that year Mr. Yusufi sexually as- saulted a 66-year-old woman in an- other Oshawa apartment building. He pleaded guilty and was given a fine and a term of probation. Mr. Yusufi was serving that term of probation when some of the as- saults for which he was most recent- ly convicted occurred, Ms. Green told the judge.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 17, 2007 durhamregion.com I ndo-Canadian community embraces all cultures; others should follow suit W ednesday was a big day for Pickering’s Indo-Canadian population as it celebrated 60 years of Indian independence. In fact, the City of Pickering pro- claimed Aug. 15 as India Independence Day, and on Saturday, the Indian flag, Tiranga, will be hoisted in the City Square at City Hall, followed by a cel- ebration. This also represents a big day for Pickering residents because organiza- tions, such as Devi Mandir and the Indo-Canadian Cultural Association of Durham (ICCAD), represent commu- nity togetherness and pride, taking part in a number of City initiatives, such as combatting youth violence and col- lecting food for the Daily Bread Food Bank. The ICCAD started up in 2006 to bring everyone - Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, for example - under one banner. But it has also encouraged people to not only celebrate their faith, but to reach out to all people, even with different beliefs. Shashi Bhatia, ICCAD’s chairwoman, says although India is her motherland, Canada is her adopted motherland, and feels it’s very important to embrace her own culture, and celebrate it along with other cultures in Durham. Devi Mandir is similarly involved in cultural events throughout Picker- ing. In fact, on the 10th anniversary of the Devi Mandir temple, a number of notable people sent in not only their congratulations on the celebration, but letters of thanks for sharing their cul- ture with all facets of Pickering. Mayor Dave Ryan, for example, thanked Devi Mandir for its outreach efforts, by ex- tending beyond the walls of the temple and embracing the entire community. The flag-raising ceremony on Satur- day, which will begin at 2 p.m. at Pick- ering City Hall, is intended to relay the message of goodwill, understanding and tolerance. These are three princi- ples all people can embrace. Goodwill can be achieved in small ways, such as holding the door for someone com- ing into your apartment building with arms full of groceries. Tolerance can be achieved if people accept others are dif- ferent, and appreciate all that different cultures, colours, religions, and beliefs bring to our community. To understand is to accept, and by accepting people, there’s a better chance everyone will get along. It’s enlightening to hear the positive attitudes of Ms. Bhatia, and if more people listen, and celebrate all cul- tures, maybe Pickering will become an even better place.

Kristen Calis staff writer LETTER TO THE EDITOR PM shows confidence in finance minister Faced with keeping his key cabinet minister or cutting him loose, Prime Minister Stephen Harper took the wise course of action on Tuesday -- he kept faith with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. As the head of a Conservative minority government that will most likely live or die on its economic performance, Mr. Harper knows the person at the helm of the federal budget plays a crucial role in how the feds are perceived by voters. And while Mr. Flaherty has had his struggles, he clearly has not been a problem for Mr. Harper. Take for instance, the decision to elimi- nate the tax breaks gained through investing in income trusts, a loophole the feds closed last October and which Mr. Flaherty, as finance minister, was forced to announce. That decision, painful to many investors due to the income losses that would result, was critical to protect against massive tax revenue losses which would hurt all Canadians in the long run. Mr. Harper, who had promised just a year earlier not to close the loophole, had to do a full 180-degree turn. And he knew then, and knows now, it would not be fair to make Mr. Flaherty the scapegoat for that difficult call. Mr. Flaherty has also had to paddle through the shark-in- fested waters of federal-provincial funding wars. It has been his job to run interference for the prime minister when outraged premiers claim they are not getting their fair share of the federal income pie. In a no-win situation, Mr. Flaherty has done well. He has also held his own in Ontario, where Mr. Harper knows he must gain ground if the Conservatives are to break through and form a majority government in the next election. Along with Environment Minister John Baird and Health Minister Tony Clement, Mr. Flaherty is an important cog in the Ontario spoke of the federal wheel. The Whitby-Oshawa MP is the point man in the Greater Toronto Area, fallow ground for Conservatives in recent years. Durham MP Bev Oda held on to a cabinet seat, switching posts with Quebec MP Josee Verner. Ms. Oda, who has been in Parliament since 2004, will now be minister of international co-operation and responsible for CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) while Ms. Verner takes her post of heri- tage and status of women. Durham did well out of the shuffle and clearly has the prime minister’s confidence after the shuffle. Sport shooting world away from criminal behaviour To the editor: Re: Understanding target practice, Neil Crone column, Aug. 15. Kudos to Neil Crone for accurately portraying the shooting sports as a mainstream and enjoyable pastime. People from all walks of life -- professionals, men, women, and yes, even children -- safely partake in this benign pastime which does not even make the radar screen of the insurance companies, because firearm ownership, and participation in shooting sports, is not an identifiable risk factor. Recent headlines involving illicit firearms have nothing to do with the sports-minded men and women whose pastime is based in equal parts on safety, responsibility and respect, and we need to better appreciate that there exists a vast gulf between law-abiding target shooters and those violent criminals which our justice system simply refuses to keep behind bars.

As simple as it is, the phrase is an incred- ible doctrine to follow while travelling. The point is I’m in Africa for two months and who knows when I’ll be back again, espe- cially in Rwanda. “So what if it’s expensive?” or, “So what if you look dumb doing it?” Life is too short to worry about the short-term embarrassment or financial loss. “So what” made me shell out $500 to do the gorilla trek and it was definitely worth it. “So what” also helped a friend dance with Mr. Obi-wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor, at the Cadillac night club on her birthday. And “So what” pushed me to do the cra- ziest thing ever – white water rafting on the Nile River. For the most part, the journey wasn’t so bad. A thunderstorm in the afternoon didn’t dampen my spirits. It was cold but so what, I just kept on rowing. Class 5 rapids are really terrifying though. Whenever our crew approached each of the four of them during the day, we yelled at our guide about ducking into the raft and bracing for impact. Amazingly, the boat survived the worst hits and I was thrown into the water only once in a dinky class 3. That is, until we reached the last rapid of the day. It was called the ‘Bad Place’. A very dangerous looking class 6 rapid that only professional kayakers should attempt. The good news is we got out of our rafts to portage around it. The bad news is we still had to deal with a class 5 called ‘50/50’, which were the odds of our raft flipping in the waves. The worst news is we caught a piece of the Bad Place and flipped. I tumbled around in the water for 15 seconds before I resurfaced, only to gasp for more air as another wave crashed down on me. I was eventually picked up by a safety kayaker and taken away from the rapids. I looked around but couldn’t see my raft or crew. I ended up finishing the day with some other people, rowing to the final landing with a bloody foot and scraped knuckles. But, so what? I swam in the longest river in the world. I visited Kampala, the capital of Uganda and the most happening of all African cities. I got Chinese food as room service at the hotel. And a few scrapes were definitely worth the adventure of a lifetime. Andrew Ng is a Pickering resident working in Rwanda this summer as a media intern through the Rwanda Initiative.

Workers evacuated as fire grips GM transformer By Stefanie Swinson and Izabela Jaroszynski DURHAM — Oshawa firefighters worked into the early morning hours to fight a fire that started at the General Motors plant on Wednesday afternoon. The blaze began inside an unused electri- cal substation at the south west part of the plant at Stevenson Road and Phillip Murray Avenue. Smoke billowed into the sky just after 3 p.m. causing curious motorists to stop along the roadway, and generating congestion along Stevenson Road as commuters made their way home. The fear of toxic smoke led fire officials to partially evacuate the GM truck plant while the company closely monitored air quality in the remainder of the facility. Oshawa Fire Chief Steve Meringer said that at no time did the fumes pose a threat to anyone in the surrounding neighbourhoods or inside the plant. “Any fire can be toxic given the right condi- tions,” he said, adding that the blaze did not contain any dangerous PCBs -- polychlori- nated biphenyls -- and was not a threat to public health. With the wind changing direc- tion frequently throughout the incident, of- ficials evacuated part of the plant as a safety precaution. Officials still have no word as to what caused the fire although Chief Meringer said that arson has been ruled out. GM spokeswoman Patty Faith said the transformer was in the process of being decommissioned and the fire did not affect operations in the plant. “It’s an area of the plant that is no longer being used,” she said. The fire chief said the transformer was encased in a complex structure that made it difficult to extinguish the flames. Firefighters had to cool the structure and bring in heavy machinery to “rip it apart,” Chief Meringer said. “Then we could get to the coils inside and get water on it.” It was 4 a.m. before the fire was completely extinguished. Firefighters battle GM blaze for hours Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Flames rise at an electrical sub-station at the General Motors plant off Stevenson Road South in Oshawa. The ICCAD was established in 2006 to promote India Independence Day, and has committee members and volunteers from all walks of life. The ICCAD is meant to inte- grate the unique cultures of Indo-Canadians, and to maximize the strong potential of com- munity “by weaving a common thread that connects us as Canadians.” The ICCAD celebrates India’s 60 years of independence this Saturday. Pickering has already proclaimed Aug. 15 - India’s actual anniversary of independence - as India Inde- pendence Day. And this Saturday, the Indian flag, Tiranga, will be raised at Pickering City Hall. A celebration, featuring art, a fashion show, food and entertainment, will follow at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “We were heartened that the City of Pickering has proclaimed that day for us as India’s Independence Day,” she said. “It was a very emotional event (last year).” Ms. Bhatia said the celebration demon- strates the freedom Canada has given the Indo-Canadian community. “These two countries - Canada and India - are united by a common belief in democ- racy, and share values in the background of our people,” she said. “They are homelands that we can all be proud of.” Therefore, everyone is invited to join. Ms. Bhatia said about 400 people attended the event last year, and 700 to 1,000 are expected this time. The event is to portray a message of goodwill, understanding and tolerance. She also mentioned last year’s celebration helped Durham Region, especially in re- gards to the Durham West Arts Centre, to which ICCAD belongs and promotes. “By doing this event, we are putting Pickering and Durham Region on the world map,” she said. “When the foreign dignitaries are visiting the region, they’ll know who we are and what Durham Region has done.” Flag-raising ceremony this Saturday Fast facts • The flag-raising ceremony begins Saturday at 2 p.m. at Civic Square at City Hall, located at One the Esplanade. • The celebration will continue at around 3 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. • The event is free.

The Liberal party leader made the announcement during a visit to Windsor, the day after he stopped in Oshawa to dis- cuss the econom- ic situation of the manufacturing industry. “We will only support trade agreements that offer Canadian companies the same priv- ileges in foreign markets as foreign companies have in our open and vibrant market,” Mr. Dion said. He called for an elimination of all tariff and non-tariff barriers that prevent free market access to the Canadian industry, such as arbitrary taxes and rapidly shifting regulations. “Real free trade must address tar- iff barriers and non-tariff barriers, which are tremendously important for the auto sector in particular,” he said. “Almost one third of South Korea’s exports to our country are automotive exports. But the prob- lem is that for nearly every 400 cars South Korea ships to Canada, it imports just one.” The Canadian Auto Workers Union has been pushing for a stop to the negotiations for a free trade agreement between Canada and Korea for months, saying that it will result in the destruction of Canadi- an jobs if Korean goods are allowed to penetrate the local markets. *Limited time financing offer based on new in-stock 2007 Honda models.Financing examples based on new 2007 CR-V LX,model RE3837E / new 2007 Pilot LX,model YF2817EX / new 2007 Odyssey LX,model RL3827E available through Honda Financial Services on approved credit.‡MSRP is $27,700 / $36,400 / $33,300plus $1,505 / $1,505 / $1,505 freight and PDI, financed at 0.9% / 0.9% / 0.9% APR equals $822.56 / $1,067.59 / $980.28 per month for 36 / 36 / 36 months.

The Durham MP was pulled from her post as minister of heritage and the status of women and will instead head the ministry of international co-operation, responsible for the Cana- dian International Develop- ment Agency (CIDA). Josee Verner, an MP from Quebec, will replace Ms. Oda in the heritage role. Mr. Harper announced the changes after meeting with all the ministers on Monday at his residence in Ottawa. Despite attacks from crit- ics over his handling of the income trust change and the introduction of a rebate program for gas-guzzling vehicles, Jim Flaherty will retain his position as the minister of finance. The MP for Whitby-Oshawa is the only other Durham mem- ber of parliament to hold a position in cabinet and is the highest-ranking minis- ter in the Greater Toronto Area. The most high-pro- file change came with the ousting of defence minis- ter Gordon O’Connor, who will now head the ministry of national revenue. Peter MacKay, the former minis- ter of foreign affairs, will re- place him as defence minis- ter. The new cabinet was sworn in at a ceremony in Ottawa on Tuesday after- noon. The fall session, which will likely begin with a speech from the throne, is slated for Sept. 17 but may be delayed until after the Ontario election in Octo- ber.

(NC)-Don’t overlook your garage when consider- ing the safety features in your home. The garage door is typically the largest moving object in a home; and because of its size and weight, special care should be taken to maintain safe operations. • Mounting tracks and hardware: If not posi- tioned and attached properly, the door might come off the track and fall. • Corner Brackets: Usually attached to the high- tension cables that lift the door, if these brackets are loose, they could disconnect and fly off at dangerous speeds. • Springs: Due to the high tension in the cables that are attached to these springs, any repairs or ad- justments should only be made by a qualified service company. For safety, consider enclosing extension springs in a metal tube or installing a safety cable inside the extension spring. • Panel Section Joints: Never attempt to operate the door by placing fingers near or in the joint between door sections. Monitor children who might be tempted to insert their fingers in these small openings. Some garage doors are equipped with finger-protecting joints that minimize this danger. • Entrapment Protection with Automatic Door Operators: Recently manufactured doors should have some type of safety device, such as an electronic eye or a pressure- sensitive control, which detects objects obstructing the door. Check these safety features periodically according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Consider replacing or retrofit- ting older automatic garage doors that do not have these modern safety features. Remember, when in doubt, consult a professional. More home safety information and maintenance information is available online at www.housemaster.com. Breathe easy.

Projects range from science to criminology justice and policy studies By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The world won’t be ready when energy consumption peaks in 2055, according to Paul Hanz’s Student Research Day project. His summer job and research project, Modelling World Energy Production and Supply, was one of more than 50 featured in this year’s Aug. 13 event at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Kamiel Gabriel, associate provost of re- search at UOIT, said 70-to-80 students are employed there every summer as research assistants. “It provides them, of course, with a sum- mer job but also gives them a taste of what research is about,” said Mr. Gabriel. “We call it the dating process in research.” Projects at this year’s Student Research Day ranged from business and the factors effecting finances, to renewable fuels, health and monitoring patients remotely, among others. “Very diverse areas,” said Mr. Gabriel. Mr. Hanz’s research analyzed energy pro- duction from 1900 and past 2006 to 2100. “I basically took current known values for energy production and trends,” said the bachelor of science student, majoring in ap- plied and industrial mathematics. He predicted the highest peak for oil in 2015 and natural gas in 2035. Coal is the last to peak at 2055. “Renewables cannot keep up with the demand once the fossil fuels peak,” said Mr. Hanz, even with optimistic growth rates. Currently only about .01 per cent of the world’s energy is solar, while wind makes up about 1.3 per cent. While his research looked at when the world’s non-renewable energies will be gone, on the other side of the room, Timothy Teatro’s project investigated how to make more solar energy available. Mr. Teatro’s study was related to equipping highway sound barriers with photovoltaic (PV) cells to generate solar power. “The payoff of the sonus/PV and basic idea of it is using the sound barriers along the highway, take that available surface area and put it to work making electricity,” said Mr. Teatro, who is taking his masters in ma- terial sciences at UOIT. Mr. Teatro’s research specifically dealt with the semi-conductors to be used with the solar cells on the wall, which turn sun into energy. He examined the microscopic structure of the material to make it as cost-effective as possible. The technology is similar to what’s used in computers, he said. Some countries are already using solar cells on sound barriers by installing them onto existing walls, which is very expensive, said Mr. Teatro. Here, they’re designing the whole system at once to cut costs. He said such projects are huge and not only important to Ontario but also the world. University research days in Durham Fast facts from Timothy Teatro’s Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon for Solar Cell Application project • World energy requirements have grown on average 2.5 per cent per year • The world’s annual photovoltaic energy production growth has averaged 40 per cent per year between 2000 and 2005 • It’s estimated that half of the world’s energy will be produced by photovoltaic systems be- fore 2040 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo UOIT student Yevgeniy Gospodinov explains his undergraduate research project on ‘Supercritical Water Heat Transfer Correlation for 6 Metre Long Vertical Bare Tubes’, to fellow students.

The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins peewee football team plays in the Ontario championships tonight, Aug. 17, at Varsity Stadium in To- ronto against the London Falcons. Game time is 8 p.m. Playing for the provincial title is even more impressive, given that this is the inaugural season in the Ontario Varsity Football League’s peewee division for the Dolphins. The squad had been busy the past two weeks, having to play and beat the Scarborough Thunder 22- 12 in the semi-finals. Playing the Mississauga War- riors in the Eastern Conference divisional championship, the local squad came out on top 40-21. Against Scarborough, the Dol- phins had to play the only team that has beaten it this year. In the first half, D’Shane Chung and Keldyn Ahlstedt rumbled in for majors, while the ’Phins de- fensive line and secondary held the Thunder to limited yards. After two quarters, the teams were tied 12-12. The Dolphins conditioning showed in the second half, as the defence didn’t allow another point. Meanwhile the offence kept putting points up, as quarterback Mike Stobbart and Ahlstedt both scored. The Dolphins’ offence was in high gear against Mississauga, while the defence was more than up to the task. Chung and Ahlstedt each scored three TDs, while the linebacking core of Garret Mole, Jordan Ali and Alex Horodnyk punished the War- riors all game. The offensive line earned pats on the back for the protection it provided and the huge holes it opened for the backfield. Head coach Jeff Ahlstedt is both pleased and proud of what the team has accomplished in the new league, pointing to the 9-1 record, the divisional title and playing for the championships. Attack soars to title at Comets tourney Ajax prevails in shootout to claim championship AJAX — The final game was a nail-biter, but getting there was easy for the Ajax Attack boys’ under-11 soccer team. Playing in the Belleville Comets Invitational tournament on Aug. 3 and 4, the Attack prevailed over Ganaraska United in a shootout to claim the title. In fact, the goals Ajax surrendered in the champi- onship game were the only ones they gave up in the tourney. Ajax fell behind 1-0 against Ga- naraska but tied it up on a header off a corner kick. Ganaraska re- gained the lead soon after and Ajax didn’t draw even until late in the match. A pair of overtime periods failed to settle the game, so the teams went to a shootout. In the shootout, Ajax scored on three of their first four attempts, while Ganaraska didn’t score once. The Attack went undefeated in its five games to claim the title. Ajax plays in the CESL Division 3 while Ganaraska plays in Divi- sion 1. Team members are John Se- bastian Medica, Carlos Gonzales, Zachary Rice-Osten, John Pap- palardo, Matthew Morris, Con- nor Rodkin, Giovanni Albanese, Josh Collins, Jon-Paul Della Pia, Louis Stella, Justin McFarlane and Christopher Luke. Players who were absent were Kevin Reeves-Connell, Craig De- jong, Kyle Verhoog, Mitchell Min- heiro, Anthony Montari and Scott Lalande. The team is coached by Angelo Medica. Assistant coach Garnette Morris was also absent from the tournament.

Heat red hot in winning Ontario ‘B’ championship Squirts win four straight PICKERING — Smoking hot is one way to describe the Pickering Heat squirt boys’ fast-pitch team. Playing in the Ontario Amateur Softball Association ‘B’ Champion- ships, the Heat went undefeated in returning home with the title. The event was held in Spring Brook on Aug. 11 and 12. In the finals, Pickering tripled Pe- terborough 9-3. In round-robin games, the Heat started with a four-inning, mercy- rule 16-1 victory over Mallorytown. Tournament favourite Walker- ton was next in what proved to be the closest game for Pickering. In a qualifying tournament in Stratford in July, Pickering had lost to Walk- erton. This time, the Heat rushed out to an 8-0 lead, but had to hold on for an 8-7 win. Walkerton’s bats came alive in the sixth inning, when they pushed across all of their runs. On Sunday the squad opened against Richmond Hill, which Pickering dispatched with a 14-3, five-inning game stopped due to the mercy rule. During the tournament, Steven MacLeod pitched all but one-third of an inning, striking out 19 batters in accumulating a 4-0 record. He was helped with solid offensive help and a stingy defence. Team members were Alex Com- lekci, Anshul Sinha, Christopher Hawke, Brett Tossounian, Edward Matthews, Toure Parpit-Sinclair, Alex Arhontakis, Adam Fujita, Eric Warner, Jordan Timpson, Steven MacLeod, Matthew Shaw and Dylan Shaw. Coaches are Glen Shaw, Norm MacLeod, Herman Comlekci and Dale Warner. submitted photo The powerhouse Pickering Heat squirt boys’ fast-pitch team is all smiles after an impressive run that ended in an Ontario title. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 17, 2007 PAGE 23 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 17, 2007 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Ajax songstress will see you at the Ex Kali Pye v ying for Rising Star title By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX — Kali Pye’s a star on the rise. The 12-year-old Ajax girl is competing in the Rising Star Youth Talent Competition at the Canadian National Exhibition, beginning today in Toronto. The St. Patrick Catholic School student only recently learned she had been chosen after auditioning for the event in June at the Scarborough Town Centre. “I was very excited; I was, like, screaming I was so so excited,” she says upon getting the good news in the mail. Kali sang ‘Holding Out for a Hero’ by Bon- nie Tyler, featured in the movie Shrek 2, and will sing it again at the CNE. She’s competing in the Junior — Solo Vocal category and, if she makes it through the preliminaries, quarterfi- nals and semifinals and takes the overall ju- nior title, will earn $750. The finalists perform at the CNE Bandshell on Sept. 2. “That’d be awesome,” she says of taking top prize, quickly adding “I’d save it.” Kali recently saved up for a Wii and would likely spend the money on vocal lessons. While Kali says she’ll be “maybe a little bit” nervous singing in front of a crowd estimated in the hundreds, she’ll have a support group in the audience to help her relax, including cousins, aunts and uncles who are coming in from Montreal for the occasion. But, Kali also has a lot of experience to draw upon. She’s been singing as long as she can re- member, and likes artists including Gnarls Barkley, Avril Lavigne and Fergie (formerly of the Black Eyed Peas). However Kali’s tastes also include Broadway and Big Band music. She won the junior division of the idol con- test at her school this year, and is preparing for her Grade 2 conservatory in piano in about a year. As well, Kali takes piano with Oshawa Durham Symphony musician Mar- tha Gregory, and has performed in musical theatre productions of Peter Pan, Grease and The Wizard of Oz at Act One School of Drama in Pickering. As a seven-year-old, she sang a song in Italian at her mom’s friend’s wed- ding. A pretty impressive resume for a girl who’s going into Grade 7 next year. “I sing 24/7,” Kali says. “I love singing in the shower.” Mom Danielle Palumbo agrees her daugh- ter “sings all the time. “I love her, but it drives me crazy,” she laughs. “We’re really proud of her,” she says, noting the family holiday is on hold for the Rising Star competition. Kali says she goes to the Ex every year “be- cause we like to see the Eukanuba dogs.” She has a Bassett hound named Klem and is a big dog lover. Believe it or not, Kali has another career in mind, but is keeping her options open. “I’d actually like to be a doctor, but if I got the opportunity to sing, I’d definitely take it,” she says. Kali performs on Aug. 19. To learn more about the Rising Star event, visit http://www. theex.com/getinvolved.php.

Don’t let your tax dollars subsidize big business. ® www.wirelesscompetition.ca Quebecor Inc. and other major corporations are asking the federal government to subsidize their entry into the wireless business with your tax dollars. Do you think that’s fair? The wireless industry works well: New competitors must enter on a level playing fi eld, without the subsidies and other artifi cial measures demanded by those deep-pocketed companies. If you want to enter the wireless business, we say you should accept the responsibilities and commitment that come with it. The intense competition among Canada’s many wireless providers – more than two dozen across the country – has led to affordable wireless pricing, ongoing service innovation, tens of thousands of skilled jobs, substantial R&D spending, and enormous secondary economic benefi ts. We welcome those companies who are willing and able to compete, to innovate, and to invest in Canadian wireless. But to those who’d like a free ride funded by taxpayer subsidies, we say no thanks. For more information on how the wireless industry is working for Canadians, please visit our website: Price Two recent studies underline that Canadians pay some of the lowest prices in the world, usually lower even than in the United States. (Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development OECD Communications Outlook 2007; Analysys Consulting Ltd. Talk is cheap in Canada, June 2007) Innovation Wireless investment is driving innovation providing Canadians access to sophisticated, world-class services such as mobile TV, satellite radio, full-track music downloads, GPS navigation and mobile internet services. Investment Canada’s wireless carriers have spent more than $20 billion to build national wireless infrastructure covering 98% of the population, and we continue to invest signifi cantly in network expansion and enhancement. Economic Benefi ts Competition and investment in wireless has meant the creation of tens of thousands of skilled jobs across Canada, substantial and ongoing R&D spending, and countless other economic benefi ts.
