About 10 people came to the bridge to pay their respects to Ca- nadian soldier Private Simon Long- tin, 23, of Longueuil, Que., who was killed on Aug. 19 when the vehicle he was travelling in struck a road- side bomb in southern Afghani- stan, near the village of Masum Ghar. Even more people lined the Hwy. 401 overpasses at other loca- tions throughout Pickering, as well as in Ajax, Oshawa and Whitby, as the military procession drove through. One Pickering resident had passed a previous procession for the last fallen soldiers, and de- cided to attend this one. “It’s something you can’t get into words,” Mike Taylor said. He added Canada does not have the patriotism exhibited in the United States, so it’s important to do “any little bit you can do.” He said his son has some friends in the military, and that “fortu- nately, he didn’t join up. “It’s respect for the soldiers, for the people,” Mr. Taylor said. “It’s 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

Phil Nedham, according to his wife, Marsha Nedham, is still in critical condition after receiving third-degree burns when a motor home he was repairing at his shop, Durham RV, caught fire last week. He’s currently on a breathing tube due to a collapsed lung, has had blood transfusions and surgery on Monday. He was to have had sur- gery today to see if skin grafting is possible. He’s experienced a num- ber of other health problems as a result of the burns and is being watched 24 hours a day. “He’s on high doses of morphine and sedation because he can’t be awake because it’s too painful,” Ms. Nedham said. She added everyone is taking the situation day by day. The family visits him almost daily now that he’s close to home. However, Mr. Nedham did not have any insurance and with him being out of work, mortgage, taxes and simply running a normal house- hold worry his wife. “It’s really tough without insur- ance when your husband’s the breadwinner,” she said. “I’m just going to try and hold it all together, that’s all.

But his critics here say the idea of calling Hwy. 401 from Trenton to Toronto “Highway of Heroes” came from the people, not the Ontario Pre- mier. “It’s an idea I first heard in Whitby from people telling me how important it was for them to go down to the 401 and show their support for the families of those Cana- dians killed in Afghanistan,” said Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty. Durham Regional Police, local firefighters and a num- ber of area residents have been gathering on overpass- es to salute funeral proces- sions for fallen soldiers as their hearses travel from CFB Trenton to Toronto for an of- ficial autopsy. The latest repatriation cer- emony took place Wednes- day afternoon for Simon Longtin, a 23-year-old private from Longueuil, Quebec, who served in the Royal 22nd Regiment. He was killed Sun- day in a roadside bombing in south Afghanistan. Two more members of the storied Quebec Van Doos were killed Wednesday when their light armored vehicle struck a mine west of Kan- dahar City. The details of fu- neral processions for Master- Corporal Christian Duchesne and Master Warrant Officer Mario Mercer weren’t avail- able at press time. Mr. Flaherty said his duties as Canadian Finance Minis- ter haven’t yet allowed him to attend one of the repatria- tion ceremonies, but his wife, Whitby-Ajax MPP Christine Elliott has been to the Brock Street overpass, along with her staff. “You don’t often see in Ca- nadian life this type of spon- taneous action by ordinary people, who just want to go pay their respects,” he added. “This wasn’t orchestrated by government.” Ms. Elliott said she sup- ports renaming the highway, which has been the subject of an ongoing online petition. “I think we should do what- ever we can to support the armed forces and do whatev- er we can to support families who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan,” she said. “But I question (McGuinty’s) sin- cerity and timing.” “He’s already had a num- ber of opportunities to sup- port troops and their families but has failed to do so.” The McGuinty government rejected a call last year from John Tory’s Conservatives to drop the health tax for mili- tary families. It also refused to increase funding for the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families, a mental health centre for children of Cana- dian servicemen and women near CFB Petawawa, said Ms. Elliott. Her staff have made their way to the Brock Street over- pass for each repatriation ceremony and do so “com- pletely voluntarily” because “it’s an initiative they feel very strongly about,” she added.

He said men and women in the military have difficult jobs to do and it’s incum- bent upon people to show they appreciate it. “I came from a military and policing family, so it’s just important to pay our respects,” he said. He added it was important to see Pickering firefighters show- ing their support, as trucks were parked at each over- pass. “It’s always sad,” he said. “Having attended police fu- nerals...it’s never easy.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 24, 2007 durhamregion.com Brown lawn an emblem of pride M y lawn is dead. I’m probably exaggerating, but it’s been about two months since I cut it, and even one variety of weed is turning black. Those that re- main, including a few prickly thistles that have a nice purplish flower, do add a little variety to the overwhelming beige colour. Experts say the lawn will come back when there’s enough rainfall, that it’s in a dormant stage, but I’m not totally convinced. It’s the driest summer we’ve had in half a century. As a boy, I recall watching my dad working on the lawn with what would now be an antique lawn edger. Every- body in our neighbourhood, it seemed, had a wonderful, lush green lawn. How ridiculous, I thought, this keeping-up- with-the-Jones thing people have about lawns. I would nod approvingly at those rebels, scarce in those days, who turned their lawns into gardens, doing away with the grass completely. But, then you buy a house and real- ize that, like the clothes you’re wearing, you’re lawn is really a part of your ap- pearance. Or, at least people perceive it to be and make assumptions about the people who live in a house based on the overall appearance of the prop- erty, of which the lawn is a big part. So, when rain was plentiful, what would my lawn say about me? Uh-Oh - crab grass, weeds, no edging whatsoever. In other words, the lawn of a careless person to whom appearances don’t mean much. Ouch. Still, I do like my lawn green. The drought has prompted me to take more notice of lawns. On my very long street, for the most part people are not watering and the weeds are dominating. Of course, in my youth we didn’t think about water and energy conservation. It’s a relatively modern phenomenon to be aware of these things and do your part. Frankly, I’m amazed at how many people aren’t watering their lawns in this most arid of summers. The rea- sons could be many: they’re enjoying the ‘summer of no lawn mowing’ with a kind of glee; they’re conscious that we’re in a drought and doing their part to con- serve; they pay as little attention to their lawn as possible and haven’t noticed. I’m kind of 50/50 on explanations one and two. Given our new green consciousness, a brown lawn has a different meaning than it once did. Thirty years ago, a brown lawn in a dry summer would indi- cate someone who doesn’t care, whose home might contain untold horrors, who might be a criminal. Today, a brown lawn is an emblem of pride. I’m doing my part to conserve. Yeah, that’s it. And the weeds? Why would I pay someone to herbicide my lawn in this day and age? The chemicals end up in the lake, never mind the fumes from pick-up trucks puttering around neighbourhoods from home to home. If this prompts you to check out my lawn, make your own assumptions, and leave my thistles alone. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Mike Ruta news editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR CAW needs to reward not punish General Motors was right to refuse a two-tiered park- ing system for its employees which would punish those not driving GM vehicles. The idea, sparked by Local 222 of the Canadian Auto Workers, would see a $100 per year parking fee for non-GM made vehicles and would force those people to park in the back of the lot. While the money would have gone to charity, it’s not the right way to drive home a ‘buy domestic’ cam- paign. Plant chairman Keith Osborne said the proposal was meant to educate its members about the importance of purchasing the product it makes. Local 222 President Chris Buckley also said the policy is about educating people on the importance of buying North American-made vehicles and encouraging those who make money from GM to buy GM. But there is a big difference between education and strong-armed tactics. And educate is all that the CAW should do. We live in a country that defends freedom of choice and the CAW should stand behind all its workers. The CAW should ensure its members and the public at-large have all the facts and then let the cards fall where they may. As far as GM Canada is concerned, they are going to pick the contractors that can do the job for the best price regard- less of what vehicles they drive. What’s next? Punishing CAW workers who drive GM-ve- hicles not manufactured in Oshawa? The CAW represents a lot of job sectors including members at the University of Windsor. Should those people be punished if their children attend any other university? It’s always better to reward rather than punish. And GM does that with employee discounts on vehicles. Loyalty always comes from positives. While forcing people to buy a product or face consequences may on the surface seem suc- cessful, it’s inauthentic. Like a gang member who thinks he can get respect with a handgun, it’s misguided. The CAW should go back to the drawing board and build on their previous educational initiatives and find a more positive way of driving home its message. Funding should go to more soccer fields To the editor: Re: Pickering Soccer Club scores some cash, Aug. 8 News Advertiser. The goal of the funding is to have more kids active, how- ever the direction of the funds to the All Kids Play program and the plan to cover fees for kids who can’t normally af- ford to play soccer is not logical. The article noted that space for 500 paying players was not available, and now with the funding to other children, the result could potentially be 500 to 1,000 paying play- ers who cannot participate in Pickering soccer in 2008. Since the soccer league is at capacity with respect to fields, maybe the money should go to improving the infrastruc- ture, which in turn would create more paying participants. Alternatives should be considered that would maximize the limited fields in the area or create new fields. With additional field capacity, and in turn the additional reoc- curring revenue, some of that money could go to All Kids Play. Taking space from paying families does not improve participation and is not cost effective in the long run for supporting the infrastructure of the soccer league.

Serving Durham for 25 years Homelessness isn’t just a big-city problem. In Durham, where new houses are springing up almost overnight, many residents don’t have a proper roof over their head. They spend their nights and days anywhere they can find space. In this three-part series, re- gional reporter Erin Hatfield looks at the issue in Durham Region By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A young couple sits on a wooden crate smoking cigarettes and holding hands. Theo Bourgeois, 22, and Amanda Lee, 19, have been dating for five years, but it’s more than young love that bonds them. There’s something about sleeping under a bridge together that unites people, they say. Outside the Refuge Youth Outreach Cen- tre in Oshawa, the couple shares stories of life on the street, sleeping in Nathan Phillips Square, couch surfing and crack houses. “I had a slight drug problem and it made me a pretty bad person,” Mr. Bourgeois says. “My mom just couldn’t handle it.” He ended up on the streets at the age of 16. Ms. Lee bounced around to various shel- ters in Toronto, spent time living in Nathan Phillips Square and eventually ended up in a crack house in North York. Both have frightening tales of sleeping under the Park Street Bridge, in Radio Park or shacking up with 13 similar kids in a de- crepit apartment. There have been times in their lives when the only thing that mattered was finding enough change on the street to get a coffee and, if they were lucky, some- thing to eat. “Food or rent, it’s one of the hardest choices I have ever had to make,” Mr. Bourgeois says. “There are times that you would eat twice a week and the rest of your money goes to rent.” The United Nations divides homelessness into two categories: absolute homelessness, people living on the street or couch surfing, with no physical shelter of their own; and relative homelessness, people whose shelter fails to meet basic health and safety stan- dards. Durham has both. Known as an ever-expanding enclave of affluence, with large, new homes, Durham’s homeless are hidden out of sight. The doors of the Refuge have a steady flow of 16-to-24-year-old homeless youth passing through them each day. Some are pregnant, some have drug problems and others are just doing their best to make the most of a bad situation. Clarence Keesman, the executive director of the Refuge, says he has seen the number of kids needing the centre’s services grow by leaps and bounds in the last two years, evidence of a real and growing homeless population. “I think we all know it’s there,” Mr. Kees- man says. “People just don’t want to recog- nize it.” Since 2002, the Refuge has seen more than 2,000 kids, and those are the ones that walk through the door. The size of the homeless population is difficult to determine, he says. Durham Region has no statistics but, ac- cording to Mr. Keesman, in 2006 the Refuge interacted 10,068 times with 608 different homeless and street youth. In 2007, he ex- pects that number will be 10-to-20 per cent higher. The youth he deals with are an equal mix of men and women, come from all in- come brackets and hail from Bowmanville to Toronto. Seventy per cent of those that come to the Refuge have been kicked out of their home by a parent or have fled an abusive situation, and 95 per cent have been sexually abused. Home is a place where you are loved, nur- tured, encouraged, safe and you belong and, according to Mr. Keesman, all of these are necessary for proper emotional develop- ment. “I would say the No. 1 reason we have street kids is family breakdown. But, that happens across socio-economic backgrounds,” Mr. Keesman says. “We always define homeless- ness as not having a place to live. Some do have a place to live. It’s a crack house and they are 18 years old. But that’s not appropri- ate and that’s not home.” The region is rife with substandard hous- ing, something many might not be aware of, says April Cullen, chairwoman of the Durham Region health and social services committee. “I think it’s a little bit hidden, unless you are going to areas where there is extreme poverty, like Quebec Street in Oshawa, you will see poverty like you have never seen it in your life,” Coun. Cullen says. “Most neighbourhoods in Durham Region are not like Quebec Street, so most people are not exposed to it.” Dr. Wendy Stanyon has seen the depths of homelessness in this area. As an instructor with the collaborative nursing program be- tween Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Dr. Stanyon spearheaded a study of homelessness in Durham. “Homeless range from people who couch surf, staying at various friends and families homes, people who live in derelict apart- ments, people living in tents in ravine areas of the region, to people who live in stairwells of parking garages or under bridges,” Dr. Stanyon says. “Someone living in a dingy basement apartment, well, I say that really isn’t a home.” Listening to some of the sto- ries the homeless shared with her and her students shocked them, she says. It became clear anyone can end up homeless. We are all one pay cheque away from living on the street, she adds. “People don’t wake up one day and decide they want to be homeless,” Dr. Stanyon says. “The idea that it’s a choice people make just isn’t the case. I think that explanation is society’s way of making themselves feel better.” Mr. Bourgeois and Ms. Lee say they didn’t choose this path, but are doing their best to make a new life together. Today they live in a two-bedroom apart- ment at Wilson and Bloor streets in Oshawa with a roommate. “The rent is what we can afford, $800,” Mr. Bourgeois says. He works at a tire shop, as evidenced by his dirty hands, and makes good money, $12 an hour to start. Ms. Lee is making her best effort to go back to school. She wants to become a personal support worker for youth like herself. “All you can do is get a job and hopefully find a job that pays well,” Mr. Bourgeois says. “You have to learn to deal with it together,” Ms. Lee adds. “If you don’t deal with it to- gether, you’ll die.” Search keyword: Homeless Life on the street ‘Food or rent, it’s one of the hardest choices I have ever had to make.’ THEO BOURGEOIS ‘People don’t just wake up one day and decide they want to be home- less.

DURHAM — Students enrolled in programs related to the civil construc- tion industry now have a better chance at receiving a financial award. Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) recently announced more access to fi- nancial resources thanks to a donation from the Durham Region Heavy Con- tractors Association. The organization provided $41,000 to create a fund that will give annual awards of $1,600 to one, full-time student, at the college and one at the university. “We are delighted to be able to estab- lish this endowment fund to assist stu- dents in their pursuit of an education in a civil construction-related field,” said Greg White, former president of the Dur- ham Region Heavy Contractors Asso- ciation. “There is a growing demand for skilled professionals and tradespeople in our industry here in Durham Region and across the country. It is our hope that these annual awards will provide the help needed to encourage deserv- ing students to pursue higher education in these fields.” Leah Myers, Durham College president, said the financial as- sistance will enable current and future students enrolled in programs such as electrical technician – instrumentation and control, and mechanical technician – mechanical maintenance and control to gain experience needed to succeed in their careers. Uploading a good start Durham says Province promises to pick up tab for some social service costs By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Politics or not, the promise to upload some social service costs from municipalities is a start to fixing the fiscal imbalance, Durham politicians say. A commitment by the Province to take back the full costs of Ontario Dis- ability Support Program (ODSP) and Ontario Drug Benefits (ODB) for social assistance recipients relieves the prop- erty tax bill of $935 million in social service costs. “They’ve been a burden to every municipality and we’re taking them back in full,” Premier Dalton McGuinty said to 1,700 delegates at the Associa- tion of Municipalities of Ontario con- ference in Ottawa Monday. Social service costs were download- ed to municipalities across Ontario in 1998 by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. They have been a bone of contention between municipalities and the Province since then, according to Scugog Mayor Mari- lyn Pearce. “This is what we have been asking for,” Mayor Pearce said. “Municipali- ties, and certainly AMO, have been fighting for this. It is part of the fis- cal imbalance that needs to be ad- dressed.” Mayor Pearce, who also serves as chairwoman of the Region’s finance and administration committee, ex- plained the upload means a $20 mil- lion savings, or roughly one per cent on the Regional property tax bill. The upload starts with the full cost, $4.5 million in Durham, of ODB in 2008. Then, in 2009, the Province will upload the administration costs of ODSP, roughly $2.5 million in Durham, followed by the upload of the ODSP benefit plan in 2010 and 2011, which will save the Region $6.5 million in each of those years. The funding, in 2008 at least, isn’t dependent on the Oct. 10 provincial election, Mayor Pearce said. “I think it is part of their gearing up for an election, but (Premier McGuinty) made the commitment and it has gone through cabinet,” she explained. The uploading of social service costs was identified as a top priority by mu- nicipalities in the ongoing review of services. “There are so many costs on the property tax bill that shouldn’t be there,” said April Cullen, Oshawa Re- gional councillor and chairwoman of the Region’s health and social services committee. “I would venture to say everything I am in charge of shouldn’t be on the property tax bill.” Social services, including welfare, social housing, social assistance drug costs, public health, ambulance and day care, all should be uploaded, Coun. Cullen said. “The reality is there is a lot of stuff we are paying for that we shouldn’t be.” Donation provides financial help for civil construction students Nominating will start September 7th See paper for details on how you can nominate your favourite businesses!

The class action was filed Mon- day in Whitby court, and claims “compensatory damages for neg- ligence and breach of contract” of $3 million and “punitive, exem- plary or aggravated damages” of $7 million. With a potential plaintiff class of 2,400, lawyer Colleen Arsenault said the suit was originally filed on behalf of one Oshawa man, Kaleb Beaulieu, and five other in- dividuals have since joined the suit. The suit has not been certified in court as a class action, nor have any of the allegations been proven in court. Longhorn has not yet filed a statement of defence. Messages left at the Oshawa tat- too parlour owner Hugh Towie received no reply. A staffer said he had been in- structed to say “no comment”, should the media call, but said he’d pass the message on to Mr. Towie nonetheless. Contacted at his home, Mr. Towie was not willing to discuss the issue. “Why are you phoning my house?” he asked before hang- ing up. “Don’t phone my house. I have a business; don’t phone my house.” The Durham Region Health De- partment closed Longhorn down from Aug. 1-9, after launching an investigation into potential expo- sure to non-sterile equipment. It re-opened after passing a number of tests on the previously malfunctioning sterilizing equip- ment that had forced the closure. The health department then used waiver forms filled out by clients to send letters to those who received services at Long- horn between Nov. 17, 2006 and Aug. 1, 2007. The use of non-sterile equip- ment could lead to transmission of diseases like hepatitis C and HIV. At the time, Mr. Towie said piercing and tattoo needles are single use. It’s the tattoo tubes and piercing tubes that are steril- ized, and they follow a number of steps. “Before they even get to the (sterilizing equipment) they have to be scrubbed and washed and put into an ultrasonic machine for 15 minutes,” he said. He told the Toronto Star it was a minor fix. “It was just a screw that needed adjustment,” he said. “The tem- perature was supposed to reach 132, but it only got to 128.” But that doesn’t assuage the concerns of Mr. Beaulieu. “Of course, I am worried about the results of my hepatitis and HIV tests,” he said in a statement issued by his lawyer. “It’s always in the back of my mind that I might have a disease.” Mr. Beaulieu, who received his tattoo in July, said he’s been told he must be retested for HIV again at the three- and six-month mark. “So, really, I have six months to wait to find out if I have been in- fected,” he said in his statement. That’s a big part of the reason to take the matter to court, said Lau- rie Duguay, who, along with her two children, received a tattoo at Longhorn during the time in question. She plans to join a class action, and has been in touch with a lawyer. “For me, it’s the stress -- not sleeping, barely eating,” she said. “My nerves were just on edge.” --- with files by Erin Hatfield CIBC Imperial Service®is available in select markets and is most appropriate for individuals with household investable assets of $100,000.

The local United Way is trying to lighten the load by providing 2,500 backpacks for children in Durham Region. Items were donated by corpo- rations and members in the com- munity who dropped off school supplies at Oshawa Centre and Pickering Centre this month. “We took over the program last year from another agency,” ex- plained Lynn Martin, a campaign manager with the United Way of Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington, Brock and Scugog. “The board of education came to us because they have such a need for this in the schools,” she added. Backpacks are packaged in three different categories: for primary, intermediate and high school stu- dents. For families dealing with economic hard times, some added assistance in getting children ready for school is just one stress reliever, said Ms. Martin. At the same time, it can add to a student’s self-esteem to attend the first day of school just as prepared as their classmates. “They’re thrilled when they get them,” Ms. Martin added. This year, Scouts Canada provided volunteers to sort through all of the supplies and pack the backpacks. For more information, contact the United Way at 905-436-7377. Date: Fri. Aug. 24 9 - 6 • Sat.

In fact, because my name ‘Andrew Ng’ sounds like a verb, the other interns turned it into an actual verb. When someone is ‘andrewing’, it means he or she is eating up leftovers. Going to new places means trying new foods. However, what we eat in Rwanda isn’t totally different from what I’d eat at home. Our cook, Mary, prepares lunch and dinner for us Monday to Saturday. It usually includes rice and potatoes, some kind of meat, vegetables and the occa- sional salad. Just like home. Restaurants serve the same kind of lunch but with more variety. Some plac- es where I’ve eaten serve much of the same things. They have more salads, though, and other interesting distinctly African foods like cooked bananas and ground kasava leaves. The latter tastes like spinach. Lunch at many restaurants is buffet style, where you can go up and get what- ever you want. But you’re only allowed one trip, so people bring a mountain of food back to their table. The place we go most often is La Fi- esta, a Mexican restaurant across the street from our house. They have amaz- ing burgers and this great dish called a taco salad plate. The taco salad is a mix of beef, chicken or veggies, with beans and lettuce served in a taco bowl. It was delicious but too much, even for me. I always get the goat brochette (like a kebab) since it’s cheap. I’ll miss these the most when I go home since the meat is so juicy and chewy. If you want, you can get them with the best French fries in the world. There’s a debate over which restaurant in Canada has the best fries. Rwandan fries beat them all. They’re always crispy, golden, and perfectly cooked without all the grease and salt. The restaurant with the best name is definitely Executive Carwash. I love the novelty of eating there. It’s menu is somewhat ridiculous. When I asked about the chicken, the waiter told me it was actually a whole chicken for 5,000 francs ($10). I ordered it and was relieved to see that it came in six pieces. I like to boast that I ate a whole chicken at the Executive Carwash even though I really didn’t. I gave one piece to someone else. But I think five out of six pieces and a plate of fries is still impressive. The most pleasant meal I had wasn’t at a restaurant, but at a friend’s home. We were invited over for dinner by Josue. Like most Rwandans, he doesn’t live in a big house and can’t prepare a feast for his guests. Josue supports his wife and sons, two-year-old Virgil, and newly born Toussaint, by sitting in a little hut all night, guarding our gate. I thought it was amazing that he would invite us for dinner, even though he doesn’t have a lot. His home is just three very small rooms. The meal was just as modest and we ate how they ate every night - in the dark with two candles to light the room. I was close to finishing my beef, ba- nanas and peanuts when Josue pushed more on my plate. The gesture was so great, I couldn’t say no. I usually don’t eat cooked bananas but I found my- self enjoying them this time. They tasted like potatoes. It’s incredible how Josue gave even when he had so little to give. Rwandan hospitality is like no other. I’ll miss that more than I’ll miss the goat brochette. Andrew Ng is a Pickering resident who will be working in Rwanda this summer as a media intern through the Rwanda Initiative. You can find out more about the initiative at www.rwandainitiative.ca. Mr. Ng will be filing weekly stories to the News Advertiser about his experiences. LTD. Upcoming Special Events Expecting a Baby?

In handing down the term Friday af- ternoon, Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass acknowledged the fact that Zialu- ddin Yusufi will likely be deported to his native Afghanistan upon completion of his sentence. But the judge noted Mr. Yusufi’s previ- ous record of sex assaults and the dim prospects for rehabilitation outlined in a pre-sentence report compiled upon his conviction for the latest set of charges. “Mr. Yusufi has had his chance for a lenient sentence,” Justice Glass said. Mr. Yusufi was convicted after a trial in Whitby of sex assaults on three women who lived in his Nonquon Road apart- ment building in Oshawa. He was found guilty of groping and kissing two frail women -- one a breast cancer patient, the other a multiple sclerosis sufferer who had endured strokes and walked with a cane -- and of raping another woman. Mr. Yusufi, who testified in his own defence, denied the groping incidents and said he had been seduced by the woman with whom he’d had intercourse, the judge noted, adding some of the in- cidents occurred when the man was on probation for an earlier sex assault con- viction. “He blamed (the rape victim) for this event and he continues to do so to this day,” Justice Glass said. “He contin- ues to deny the other two assaults. “... Rehabilitation is not likely if a per- son adopts such a position.” The judge adopted prosecutor Brenda Green’s position of a five-year peniten- tiary sentence, rejecting a defence call for a provincial jail term of two years less a day, which may have helped the man avoid deportation. “I do not find the sentence for Mr. Yusufi should be close to the two-year mark,” Justice Glass said. “It should be more -- significantly more.” Mr. Yusufi, who listened to the judge’s remarks with the assistance of an inter- preter, glanced back tearfully at his wife as the gravity of the sentence became clear. The judge said it is likely he will be sent back to Afghanistan alone as his wife and children have obtained Canadian citizenship. Two of Mr. Yusufi’s victims, including the rape victim who first reported him to police, also looked on as the sentence was delivered. Justice Glass said the as- saults and their aftermath have had a profound effect on the women, all of whom were dealing with health issues before the attacks. Mr. Yusufi was given credit for four months spent in pretrial custody, leaving him 56 months to serve in prison.

This year, the popular event will take place over two days at Oshawa’s scenic Lakeview Park. “We think the park will be more conducive to families enjoying the Au- tofest,” says Mike Kalynko, a found- ing member of the Motor City Car Club, which organizes Autofest. “Peo- ple can sit by the water, under the trees. It’s a really nice atmosphere.” Organizers decided to move the event after the GM parking lot filled to capacity last year and hope the switch to a larger setting will elevate Autofest to a national tourism attraction. The park also eliminates the need for the shuttle buses used in past years, boasting lots of free parking and access to public transit. This year’s 14th annual event from Aug. 24-26 is expected to attract 20,000 people and between 1,500 and 2,000 display cars. In addition to old favourites like the soap box derby and show and shine, this year’s Autofest features Gravedig- ger, one of North America’s most fa- mous monster trucks with shows on Saturday and Sunday night. Also new this year are automotive seminars at the Jubilee Pavilion. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children under 12. Weekend passes are available for $15.

New site helps amateur radio volunteers tackle emergencies By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — To his friends, Farncomb Le Gresley is known as Farny. He’s also been known to go by “VE3BHQ.” It’s a little less catchy, but for the 81-year-old Newcastle resident, his radio call sign is as much a part of his identity as his name. Mr. Le Gresley has been a member of Durham’s North Shore Amateur Radio Club (NSARC) for years and his love for radios goes back to his teens. “When I was younger I was always interested in sci- ence,” he says. “Radios were in their juvenile state at that time and I was very curi- ous about how they worked.” He got his amateur radio li- cence in 1946 and since then has used radios as a hobby and a handy aid in the event of an emergency. Before cellphones were com- monplace, he can remember pulling over on an American highway and using a radio in his car to summon help for a stranded motorist. Closer to home, he put the call out the time Hwy. 401 was overrun with escaped llamas and even transmitted messages between Florida and Alaska after the southern state was hit by a hur- ricane. “We’re here whenever we’re needed,” he says. In Durham Region, there are dozens of amateur radio vol- unteers standing by to help in the event of a natural disaster, blackout or other emergency. They are part of the Region of Durham’s Emergency Manage- ment Program and are trained to relay messages to police, fire, paramedics and anyone else involved in handling an emer- gency. And, as of this week, emer- gency communications in Durham will be even more ef- ficient. The NSARC recently used a $26,900 Trillium Foundation grant and funds from the club and its donors to build a new radio repeater site at Purple Woods Conservation Area in rural north Oshawa. According to project man- ager Ken Koronovich, the new site will allow for better com- munication throughout north and south Durham. “Before, you could barely communicate with some parts of Oshawa, even with a high- powered radio,” he said. “Now, you can communicate with a low-powered radio, which is good if there’s no power, be- cause the battery will last lon- ger.” The new site also features an emergency generator that can keep the repeater up and run- ning for 16 days. While amateur radio enthusi- asts play a vital role in emergen- cies, Mr. Koronovich says there is a lot of fun to be had too. In the four years since he joined the NSARC, he has talk- ed to people around the world, most recently chatting with a Nova Scotia native on Canada Day. “You meet interesting people, you share ideas, it’s just a great hobby,” he says.

LABOUR DAY WEEKEND SPECIAL OFF THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 24, 2007 PAGE 25 A/Pdurhamregion.com ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Actor/dancer part of Hairspray By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If you’ve seen the movie Hairspray, you’ve seen Whitby’s Kristina Uranowski on the big screen. The young woman can be spotted in a dance sequence in the movie, which was made in Toronto and is now in movie the- atres. “It was pretty exciting,” she said during a phone interview as she biked to work in Toronto, where she’s working. “It was my first job after leav- ing school.” She had just finished the musi- cal theatre program at Sheridan College in Oakville, where a tal- ent agent spotted her in a perfor- mance. He asked her if she was interested in auditioning for the movie and she said yes. “They were looking for danc- ers who are not typical dancer body types,” she said. The musical centres on a Tracy, played by Nicole Blon- sky, a young woman who wants to dance and runs up against some bias because of her plus size. Uranowski herself experi- enced discouragement when she started dancing. “I had grown up with a lot of people discouraging me ... be- cause I am a bigger girl,” she said. However, she found plenty of support from her parents and from Janice Lynn at the Janice Lynn School of Dance where she studied dance for years. As for the movie, she sent in a video, which got sent to New Line which produced Hairspray. “They asked me to come back for a few more auditions. I think it was five auditions all told. It was a long process.” The final answer was positive and she appears in a sequence in Mr. Pinky’s store, with John Travolta, who plays Edna, Tracy’s mom, Blonksy, and Jerry Stiller, who plays Mr. Pinky. “The first day on set, John Tra- volta was there. He came in ca- sually and sat there. It was really surreal. He’s a very kind man, very professional to work with,” Uranowski said. She added she was amazed with Blonsky. Uranowski was on set for four days, after four days of rehearsal. It was hard work but fun, too. With a great result -- being in a movie. “Those few days, you got to spend doing what you love, it makes it all worthwhile and makes you want to work more.” This summer, she went with her parents and best friend to see the movie. “We all cried,” she said. “It’s very well done.” The musical is a hit, a diffi- cult status to attain for a musical these days, she said. “It’s exciting to be part of that because that’s my career.” Starting this fall, she’ll be act- ing with a Shakespearean theatre company in Toronto, appearing as Lady Capulet in Romeo and Juliet, Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Gertrude in Hamlet. “I’m really excited to be doing Shakespeare,” she said. She’ll also be returning to teach dance at the Janice Lynn School of Dance. And she’ll be trying to wrap her head around the fact that when Hairspray comes out on DVD, people around the world will own a film she’s in.

So many Durham music choices, so little time There is a brilliant song shin- ing in my head. It’s by a young country folk songwriter from Bowmanville, a chap called Lee Mellor. The song is ‘Tumbleweed’. He draws the title of his disc ‘Ghost Heart Town’ from its lyrics. I draw more. Whose company would I sit Mellor among... John K. Sampson of the Weakerthans, Corb Lund, Stan Rogers, Lightfoot maybe. Here is an example of his words... it explains itself. “Song, In the steeples, and song marching in the spring pa- rade/ in the laughter of children along the palisades/ Through the window, rippling the curtains, floating in/ Smells of yucca and grass, sweet azalea on the wind.” He sings of his hometown and his adopted one of Montreal; Lib- erty Street and the St. Lawrence river, gravediggers and whiskey, highways and killers, the stuff of South Ontario Gothic literature from the likes of the late Timo- thy Findlay. All played by a band of mudhounds that would make Blue Rodeo green. “Now I got me a room with a five year view/ Of the St. Law- rence River shining like a neck- lace/ Sunlight gold and silver/ down a collarbone of hill.” Mellor sets his own gold and silver standard for anyone who hangs words on a string. Y’all have two opportunities to hear and hang on his words this weekend. He is playing as part of CamFest aka the Clarington Arts and Music Festival taking place this Saturday at the Visual Arts Centre on Simpson. Peter Katz, whose own disc ‘More Nights’ features the daintily-plucked ‘I Do’ and includes Luke Doucet on the guest list, is on the bill along with Liam Titcomb, the impeccably-voxed Trish Robb (who accompanied Mellor on his album), the Stables and while not the godfather at least the fave uncle of Cancon folk rock, mister Murray McLauchlan. His label True North is issuing a double CD retrospective of his works in October. The festival is free and there is parking at the Bowman- ville Zoo. All details at www.cam- fest.ca. Or you could can catch Lee with Trish Robb and Jeff Leech at the Velvet Elvis Saturday night. It’s a tough call as the Under- ground Operations showcase at The Dungeon with Protest The Hero and I Hate Sally should be kickax and Cold Sweat with their A Foot In Cold Water vibes is in at Chicago’s.

Felicien, 26, is one of several Canadian medal hopes at the championships, coming into Osaka ranked seventh in the IAAF rank- ings in the women’s 100-metre hurdles. She’ll begin her medal pursuit with the 100m hurdles heats on Monday, Aug. 27. The semifinals are on Tuesday, Aug. 28, fol- lowed by the finals on Wednesday, Aug. 29. Felicien is having a fine season on the track, deeming herself fully healed from pre- vious injuries. She’s backed that up by placing a strong second in a photo fin- ish to Jamaica’s Delo- reen Ennis-London in a season’s best 12.65 seconds at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in July. The women’s 100- metre hurdles final for the 2007 IAAF World Track and Field Cham- pionships in Osaka, Japan from Aug. 25 to Sept. 2 will fall on her birthday, Aug 27. And, she hopes to celebrate her 27th birthday with her third world gold medal, having also won indoor world gold in 2004 in Budapest, Hungary. “The world final is on my birthday and I definitely want to make it to the final,” said Felicien in a previous interview. Her toughest compe- tition, however, may come from a pair of Canadian hurdlers who’ve been hot on her heels of late. Pris- cilla Lopes, of Whitby, and Angela Whyte, of Edmonton, are also in the running at the worlds. She has noted her Osaka experience will be a big test to see how far she’s come in her preparation for the 2008 Olympic Sum- mer Games in Beijing. “This year is definitely a set-up year. Every- body’s gauging where they’re at going into ’08. I want to run consistently and rely on my fundamentals and technique that’s eluded me over the past two years. “I know I can run 12.5 (seconds) or 12.6 consistently, and probably I can dip under them. I always want to be in the top three and run a personal best.” Felicien’s not the only Pickering athlete who’ll be representing Canada on the world stage. Anson Henry will compete in both the men’s 100 metres as well as be part of Canada’s 4-x-100-metre relay team, which captured a silver medal at the Pan Am Games in Rio. The men’s 100 metres heats go on Satur- day, Aug. 25, with the semifinal and finals on Sunday, Aug. 26. Meanwhile, the 4-x-100-metre relay heats go on Friday, Aug. 31, with the final on Satur- day, Sept. 1.

The Rock play a semifinal game today. Keep watching durhamregion.com for up-to-date game reports all weekend. Ajax-Pickering set to play in today’s semifinal game By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Rock is on a big-time roll at the President Cup of se- nior ‘B’ lacrosse, and they hope it won’t end anytime soon. The Rock secured top spot in Group 1 with an emphatic 13-3 victory over the Six Na- tions Sting in their final round-robin game at the Canadian championships in Owen Sound Thursday afternoon. Ajax-Pickering ended pool play with a 3-1 record. The victory means they’ll play the second- place team in Group 2, likely the Ladner Pioneers of B.C., in one of today’s (Friday) semifinal. The Rock defeated the British Co- lumbians 12-6 in their second game of the tournament on Tuesday. The other semifi- nal will likely pit the Ontario champion and Presidents Cup hosts Owen Sound Woods- men against the Sherwood Park Outlaws of Alberta. The championship final goes tomorrow (Saturday) at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre at 7 p.m. Rock head coach Paul St. John says the British Columbians present a stern test in the semifinal for his charges. “Ladner’s a pretty tough team. I thought we played well against them (in round-robin play) and they’re a team with heart and de- termination; they never quit. And, if we get the momentum against them, we’ll have to ride it, because we don’t want to give it up. If we give them any momentum we could be looking at playing for third place instead of first place on Saturday.” Against Six Nations, the Rock held the balance of the play during the first period, but could only convert for two goals and a 2-1 edge in the first period. That the score was so low was in large measure to the goal- tending of Ryan McNaughton who stoned the Rock in the frame. The Rock got rolling midway through the middle stanza with five unanswered goals en route to a 8-2 lead after two periods. Ajax-Pickering added five third- period markers to put an exclamation mark on the proceedings. Jamie Plunkett led the charge against the Six Nations Sting, scoring a game-high four goals in the contest. For Plunkett, he was glad to finally get the monkey off his back as he missed a number of golden scoring opportunities against the Akwesasne Island Redmen on Wednesday night, a game the Rock won in a walk, 19-0. “Tonight, I just thought everything worked for me. I was snake bit a little the last game. This was one of those games where I couldn’t seem to do anything wrong,” says Plunkett, who was named as the star of the game. Plunkett wasn’t the only one who caught fire on the floor for the Rock against the Six Na- tions. He was joined by assistant captain Mark Craig who also turned in a brilliant scoring effort with a three-goal effort to go along with an assist. St. John says it’s all been about confidence for Craig, who may have lost some in the senior ‘B’ regular season and the Ontario La- crosse Association playoffs, but has certainly regained it -- and then some -- so far at the Canadian championships. “He’s on a roll now and his confidence level is beginning to peak, and obviously it’s peaking at the right time,” says St. John. “It was great to see Craiger put the ball in the net.” St. John says the entire team has been on a mission since dropping its first game of the tournament to Sherwood Park on Monday, a 9-8 loss. Since then, the players have settled down and played within the system, which stresses stingy defence. And, through four games the Rock has allowed a paltry 17 goals against, the least among tournament teams. Also scoring for the Rock against Six Na- tions were Josh Black, Wayne Burke, Chris Parkin, Jim Veltman, Joel Johnson and Bill McLean.

Fast facts • Although there’s been plenty of good news, there’s been some bad news for the Rock at the Canadians. They’ve lost the services of Ryan McMichael (torn knee muscle) and Mike Daley (severely sprained ankle) • Parkin missed the previous three round- robin games with work commitments, but returned to score a goal in Thursday’s game against Six Nation • Craig currently leads the scoring race at the Canadians with 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) • Burke is in second with 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) Jamie Punkett WHITBY 1540 Dundas Street East Northwest corner of Thickson & Dundas 668-4300 PICKERING 1755 Pickering Parkway Northeast corner of Brock Rd. & Hwy 401 427-2047 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 24, 2007 PAGE 27 A/Pdurhamregion.com Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Watching the wannabes AJAX — Ajax Attack head coach John Winder watches intently as the players are put through their paces at the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ League club’s training camp at the Ajax Community Centre on Wednesday night.

The Fusion hooked up with the Ne- pean Hotspurs in the final. The Fusion had several scoring opportunities in the first half and had several more in the final half, but were unable to convert. In extra time, however, Pickering finally struck for the winning goal. The Pickering under-14s opened tour- nament play against Pembroke, scoring a 4-0 shutout victory. In Game 2, the Fusion took an early lead over the Cataraqui Clippers and continued to play well en route to a con- vincing 5-1 victory. Playing an hour after its previous game, the Fusion went down to defeat 2- 0 against the Nepean Hotspurs. Nepean took a 1-0 lead in the first half, and ce- mented the win with another goal close to the end of the second half. The Fusion played East Hamilton, playing to a 1-1 draw, good enough to vault the Pickering team into the final. The Fusion got on the board first. In the later moments of the second half, how- ever, East Hamilton came back with the equalizer.

Ajax U8 girls continue to be Dynamite on pitch Win fourth tourney crown of season AJAX — An explosive offense and stingy defence helped the Ajax Dynamite girls’ under-eight soccer team win its fourth tourna- ment of the year. Played in Mississauga on Aug. 11 and 12, the Dynamite scored 19 goals in five games and goalkeepers Julia Snow and Alexis Ferreira didn’t allow any to claim the crown. Maybe the hardest part of the weekend was the players hoisting the 10-pound Falcon Trophy after the final game. Ajax faced Brams United Strikers in the championship game, a rematch of a round- robin game, and the Dyna- mite prevailed 2-0. In the semi-finals, Ajax won easily, 5-0, over Burling- ton. The Dynamite topped the LaSalle Stompers 3-0, Georgetown 7-0 and Brams United 2-0 in round-robin play. Against Brams, the de- fence didn’t allow any shots during the game. Other team members in- clude Nicole Dodge, Court- ney Correia, Nicole White, Emily Gauvreau, Katie Park- er, Sinead Kappel, Kristien Lindo, Ciara Todd, Milan Danford, Parys Kerr and Tonaya Blackstock. The team is coached by Michelle White and assisted by Stephen Lindo and Ro- land Chow. Vicky Lindo is the manager.
