A recent survey, commissioned by the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, shows two out of five people say they shop at local farmers’ markets and nine out of 10 say given the choice, they would prefer to buy local food. “There is this huge explosion in farmers’ markets and interest in farmers’ markets,” said Laura Alderson, coordinator of the farmers’ market program for the foundation. Part of the reason for the interest is concern about the environment and part of it is prompt- ed by things like recent salmonella scares. “I think people are concerned about green- house gas emissions and about the environ- ment and where their food is coming from Dundee Private Investors Inc. 244 Kingston Rd.

There’s a similar procedure for repairing dents caused by hail. And, given the recent hail storm in west Pickering, the paintless dent repair meth- od is a real time saver. Bill Moore, the owner of Auto Worx, uses a prod-like instrument to push out dents. Metal has memory, which is “how it keeps its shape over the life of the vehicle,” said Mr. Moore, a Whitby resident. The interior panels are removed and the prods are used to massage the dents out, he said. For the next several weeks, he and Justin Libera will be at Sheridan Chevrolet Cadillac, using the method to repair hail dents. There wasn’t any hail damage to vehicles at Sheridan, said Bill Oakman, the collision centre manager at the dealership. There was damage to vehicles at the sister lot of Saturn Saab of Pickering. Also, customers with damages have been call- ing the dealership, Mr. Oakman said. “The turn around time (with Auto Worx) is quicker and it preserves the factory finish. GM endorses it,” Mr. Oakman said. The technology has been around for “probably 25 years,” Mr. Moore said. “It basically came out of the factories.” In auto-assembly plants, they are called ‘ding- men’, employees who would repair minor dam- age. Mr. Moore can repair two to four vehicles in a day, depending on the severity of the damage. Repairing a vehicle in a body shop would take five to 10 working days, Mr. Moore said. That could be an expensive and time-consum- ing cost for a dealership. “With an inventory of 100 vehicles on a car lot, it would take one year to repair 100 vehicles,” Mr. Oakman said. The Auto Worx method has been used for such things as when a door is hit by a shopping cart. “It’s how everybody starts out. In the last 15 years, we’ve specialized in hail damage across Canada,” said Mr. Moore. The company also has a shop in Medicine Hat, Alberta. “We currently run a crew of 12.” And, the crews have been busy. “For the first six or seven years, it was predominately in the spring and summer. Now, in the fall and winter we’re in body shops,” said Mr. Moore. Repairing a vehicle in the old method would “depend on the vehicle style and damage. It would cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000.” The savings could be “hundreds to thousands” of dollars by using Auto Worx, Mr. Moore said. “The savings could be anywhere from 25 per cent of a conventional estimate up to 80 per cent.” Anyone with a vehicle damaged in the recent hail can call Sheridan at 905-619-5177 for infor- mation or to book an appointment.

At last week’s Joint Waste Man- agement Group Meeting, the Region’s consultants presented a framework for the monitoring. Now that Durham is moving for- ward with the process and issu- ing a request for proposals from vendors to build the incinerator, it’s time to look at establishing a baseline of what kind of chemical concentrations currently exist in the environment, said Dr. Chris Ollson, one of the Region’s consul- tants from Jacques Whitford. It will form a basis for comparison when the facility is operational. “It’s now appropriate to collect this information, what’s in the soil, what’s in the water, what’s in the food,” he said. His team is looking at monitor- ing soil, surface water, sediment, vegetation, produce, small mam- mals such as field mice, terrestrial invertebrates such as beetles and worms and fish. They’ll potentially look at groundwater as well, but Dr. Ollson said common scientific belief is that contaminants would be deposited in the top layer of soil and would be diluted and filtered before entering the groundwater. “No one’s got a drinking water well right there,” he added. The surface water and fish samples will come from Tooley Creek, which is about 900 metres from the pro- posed site. The sampling will be focused in a one-kilometre radius around the incinerator. “You focus on the areas where you expect things to fall on the ground,” said Dr. Ollson, but he added he didn’t expect changes in the environment to be detectable within the first few years of the incinerator being operational, if ever. As well, the consultants will meet with representatives from Durham’s Agricultural Advisory Committee to determine what types of farm products to monitor. However, they’ll be taking samples of seasonal items such as straw- berries right away and freezing them as they work on deciding exactly what items to monitor. Council will have to decide whether they want to collect and analyze samples every year or on a cycle such as every three years. The more frequently the monitor- ing is conducted, the more expen- sive it will be. “My personal preference is a three-year cycle, because it’s very rare that you can detect an appre- ciable change on a yearly basis,” Dr. Ollson said. He also discussed options for establishing a baseline for human health monitoring. The consul- tants will look at possibly using data for the ongoing Canadian Health Measures Survey which is currently being conducted across Canada. Clarington is one of the sample communities. The survey tests for a variety of chemicals including heavy metals such as mercury and pesticides, through blood and urine samples. The second cycle of the survey begins in 2009 and the consultants have suggested the addition of some new chemicals, including dioxins and furans, to the list. The consultants are just begin- ning to develop options for human health biomonitoring and will present those to staff and council at a later date.

Peterborough County OPP re- port a motorcyclist riding alone struck an SUV on County Road 507 on Saturday, July 5 at about 3:55 p.m. The collision happened about three kilometres north of County Road 36, when the southbound motorcycle struck a northbound SUV on a curve in the northbound lane, police report. The motorcyclist, Brasanna Subramaniam, of Ajax, was taken by ambulance to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, where he succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the SUV received minor injuries that did not require medical attention. Two passengers in the SUV were not injured. The speed of the motorcycle is believed to be a factor in this colli- sion, the OPP said. An OPP collision reconstruc- tionist and a technical traffic col- lision investigator attended the scene to assist with the investiga- tion, which is continuing. Ajax man dies when motorcycle hits SUV and I know people are very concerned about food safety,” Ms. Alderson said. “People want to know where their food is coming from and they want to have relationships with the people who grow it.” Friends of the Greenbelt, which is funded through the provincial government, is invest- ing $200,000 in local markets through a new program. Part of that money will go to a website farmers can use to promote themselves and towards hiring a recruiter to entice farmers to the markets. “Farmers are in short supply, what’s happen- ing with the demand for fresh local produce and new farmers’ markets popping up all over the place, there’s a demand for farmers to fill those markets,” Ms. Alderson said. As well, up to $4,000 worth of support will go individual markets that apply for the fund- ing. This will include tents or canopies and 1,000 free reusable bags which the markets can choose to sell to raise funds or give away. “I know we’re looking at Durham very care- fully because there’s a very large percentage of the Greenbelt in Durham, so we’re looking to get as much money there as possible,” Ms. Al- derson said. So far, every municipality in Dur- ham has at least one farmers’ market except for Ajax and Pickering. But at least one group is working on bringing a farmers’ market to the Pickering Town Cen- tre. The Durham West Arts Centre was hoping to have a market running in the Pickering Town Centre’s parking lot by last week, but the group ran into some red tape. “Right now we are going through some bylaw and zoning issues that have to be straightened out by the City of Pickering and Pickering Town Centre,” said Erin Michel, project manager for the arts centre. She said a one-off market in the mall’s parking lot would be fine, but since it would be a continuous event, the rules have to be changed. Ms. Michel also said the mall was enthusiastic about a market. She’s hoping the market could be up and running by August. If not, a one-off festival will be planned for this year and the market will be launched next summer.

The Province recently tapped OPG to move forward with the process to build the new reactors in Bowmanville at the site ad- jacent to the current nuke station. The Environmental Assessment, a study of potential impacts on the environment and potential mitigation measures, is un- derway and is expected to take about 2 1/2 more years. Should the proposal pass the EA stage, construction of the new reactors is likely to begin in 2012. Clarington’s peer review conclusions are to be adopted as part of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which the appro- priate ministries use to determine whether the project successfully completes the EA process. “The peer review of the Environ- mental Impact Statement will ensure that the interests of the Municipality and its residents are protected as this major proj- ect moves ahead,” a planning report said. “The peer review will also allow OPG to demonstrate to federal regulators that the Municipality’s concerns have been com- pletely addressed in the EIS.” PICKERING — A pizza store in Pickering was robbed at gunpoint Friday night. Police are looking for two men fol- lowing the 1 p.m. robbery at the Little Caesar’s on Kingston Road July 4. The men entered the pizza store with their faces covered and one pointed a handgun at a 20-year-old employee and demanded money, says a Durham Region Police report. The woman fled to the back of the store and the men took a quantity of cash before running out and northeast around the plaza toward Steeple Hill. Both men are described as 18-22 years old, six feet tall, with dark pants. Anyone with information about the robbery can call police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5359. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

To the editor: It has been about five years now since Pickering Beach Road, between Emperor and Bayly streets, was given a base coat of asphalt. A couple of weeks ago they finally finished the section of Pickering Beach Road that was renamed Salem Road and continues north to Hwy. 401. I am hoping they will get around to doing the rest of the road. I am sure they were paid for this service five years ago, I just want to know why they are holding back? Ted Milson Ajax Waterfront Trail is for pedestrians first To the editor: The Waterfront Trail is not a speed- way. On Father’s Day, as I was walking along the waterfront, a bike zoomed by me, annoyed that I was not on my side. I quickly commented that he did not ring a bell or comment in any way as he brushed by me and forced me to jump. This was a grown man, not believing as I told him that he should be racing on the road with his bike not this path. I pointed out a group of elderly people ahead who unlike myself took up the whole sidewalk as a group. He was veering onto the grass to avoid this and various other groups in his mayhem. The Town of Ajax should set and enforce a speed limit on the waterfront pathways - signs should be posted. Pedestrians have the right of way and there is no right or left side of the path. A bike that cannot cope with the amount of people leisurely walking should be on the road. This fellow could not comprehend anything I told him. Karen MacLean Ajax Article put cats at risk To the editor: Re: ‘Humane Society wants cats kept under wraps’, News Advertiser, July 4. It is the mission of the Humane Society to ensure the care and safety of these cats and they strive to place them in respon- sible, loving homes. While there are many felines awaiting adoption, I’m not convinced the article has done these cats any favours. It may just have outlined the future for some. Anyone who read the article will now know how to correctly, but not honestly, answer the question of free outdoor roaming. Some of these cats are likely to be returned to the shelter, or taken to a vet- erinary clinic in a broken, sorry state. I completely agree there is a tremen- dous need to educate the public on the responsibilities of proper pet care, bylaws and the dangers to cats allowed to freely roam outdoors. However, perhaps the article could have communicated the information in a different way and not put these cats at risk. Tessa Kimmel Pickering Take responsibility for your teenagers To the editor: Welcome to summer holidays. Once again school is out for the summer and teens are roaming the streets all hours of the day and night. Last night our cars were broken into and several items were removed. I often hear people asking what’s wrong with kids today? My question is: What is wrong with parents today? They take no responsibility for their children or their actions and they ask no questions. They don’t ask: “Where are you going? Who are you going with? Where did you get that satellite radio or extra money or purse or credit cards with somebody else’s name on them?” These parents can’t be asking the ques- tions needed or maybe the parents aren’t even home themselves. Maybe with all the upcoming layoffs in the community (GM and any business directly associated), parents won’t be too tired to do some parenting and ask a few questions, like, “Where were you until 4 a.m., Johnny?” Melanie Besser Clarington e-mail letters to mjohnston@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, place of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com Our readers think... PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ July 9, 2008A/P Durham Olympic experience It’s less than a month until the Olympic flame is lit on Aug. 8 in Beijing and the countdown to the Summer Games is defi- nitely on. For Canadian Olympic hopefuls it’s been a long, hard and sometimes lonely process of training, competing and working toward their lifetime goals. In Durham Region, 10 people have so far booked their tickets for the XXIX Summer Olympiad, with Pickering’s Anson Henry (100 metres, 4-x-100m relay) and Tabia Charles (long jump) and Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep (100-metre hurdles) quali- fying this past weekend at the Canadian Track and Field championships in Windsor. They’ll join equestrian Jacqueline Brooks of Mt. Albert (dressage), women’s soccer player Candace Chapman of Ajax and women’ softball player Erin McLean of Whitby. Also making the trip to Beijing will be Oshawa’s Wendy Dobbin, an assistant coach on the women’s softball team, and Greg Pipher of Pickering, a softball umpire. In addition, the Uxbridge duo of Conrad Lepine and Don Andrews will be doing catering duties for the U.S. Olympic squad. There may be another Durham athlete or two -- Perdita Felicien of Pickering in the 100-metre hurdles is the most prominent name still with a chance to qualify -- who may be Beijing bound. Canada will have a large Greater Toronto Area contingent of Olympians led by kayak great Adam van Koeverden (Oakville), gymnasts Karen Cockburn (Stouffville) and Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs (Toronto) and swim- mers Lindsay Seeman (Unionville) and Colin Russell (Oakville). All of these athletes, coaches and support staff have dedicated themselves to deliver- ing the very best performances they can this August. There are many more athletes with a local connection and all the informa- tion you will need about them can be found at www.gtaathletes.com. Our comprehensive Olympic website will be chock full of athlete profiles, video interviews and more. Experienced sports editor Brad Kelly and award-winning pho- tographer Ron Pietroniro will be heading to Beijing to provide readers with a bird’s- eye view of Durham’s Olympic experience. They’ll be providing a constant stream of coverage and you won’t miss a thing if you go to www.gtaathletes.com on a regular basis. Get ready to enjoy the Games and get the local story right here.

Here you are who you are and we love who you are.” The animal farm isn’t open to the public, nor is it a petting zoo. It’s open on Sundays for kids with special needs. Nova’s Ark is a place where kids with spe- cial needs can interact with, touch and cuddle common animals like raccoons, and exotic ones like capybaras. Children with differing abilities are not the only ones who benefit from time on the farm. Mrs. Nova also brings up classes from R.A. Sennett to visit as an end-of-the- year treat. And every Sunday 50 volunteers from grades six to 12 descend on the farm to help with programming. They come for many reasons, she said. Some want to volunteer because they aspire to be veterinarians or to work with children who have disabilities. Some are referred by the youth and justice depart- ment because they might be heading down the wrong path in life. Some are referred to her by the Children’s Aid Society because they are having a hard time at home, she said. “It’s always changing, there’s always something new,” she said. “There are a lot of happy stories, but there are a lot of sad stories.” The sad stories don’t end with the visi- tors to the farm. Some of the animals have been used and abused, or they’re not want- ed anymore and need a second chance. Like Wilbur, a pot-bellied pig who was abandoned after a commercial shoot in Toronto. Or Bambi, a deer that was reha- bilitated and released into the wild but keeps coming back to the pen he shares with a wallaby named Sydney. Mrs. Nova started the farm about 10 years ago with her husband on their large property in Brooklin. The farm has been a registered charity for about four years. The couple has been married for 31 years and Mrs. Nova said her husband is really “a one dog kind of guy” when it comes to animals, but he works on the farm with her because he knows the cause is worth it. “He believes,” she said. “He sees the chil- dren with special needs and what it does for them and he believes.” She said she has visions of the many things she would love to do to the proper- ty to make it the best possible place for the kids, like tearing out the pool put in by pre- vious owners and creating a walk-in pool so kids in wheelchairs don’t have to be lift- ed out to use it. The pens are all kid-friendly, she said. “Everything kids go in and that’s what we want,” she said. “I don’t want anything that you can only look at. Everything has to be touchable.” But the process is slow because retrofits are expensive. Mrs. Nova said the dream is coming along slowly, but it’s coming. The farm is a dream that is still growing, she said.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 9, 2008 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com Oshawa has lowest charges, Scugog the highest By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Buying a new house in Ajax is going cost more in the fall. Councillors approved an increase to de- velopment charges, including a 24-per cent rise in the charge for a new single-detached house. The new fee will be $11,631, up from the current $9,370. The higher fees will kick in on Sept. 8, al- though there is a transition period running to the end of the year. Development charges are fees imposed to cover the costs of development, such as providing roads, community centres, li- braries and other services provided by the Town. Durham Region also increased the charg- es, which took effect July 1. The fee for a single-detached home will be $18,486, an increase of more than $4,000. Home builders and developers include the DC cost in the price of the house. Ajax has some of the lowest DCs for a singe-detached home in the GTA, said Cam Watson, the consultant retained by the Town. The amounts imposed by the Town are “at the low end,” Mr. Watson said. As of Jan. 31, the charges imposed by the Town, the Region and the school boards to- taled $25,236 on a single-detached house. The lowest in Durham was in Oshawa, at almost $23,200, while the highest was Scu- gog at almost $27,000. In the GTA, Richmond Hill had the high- est total at $38,851. In addition to the fee for new homes, the Town is also increasing the charge for industrial and commercial development. The fee for a commercial project is rising to $3.36 per square foot, up from the current $2.79 per sq. ft. The industrial rate also goes up to $3.36 per sq. ft., increasing from the current $1.84 per sq. ft. Ward 1 local Councillor Shaun Collier questioned if the increases in industrial and commercial DCs would scare away potential development. “We fought to preserve our employment lands. We’re starting to get development in those areas. An 82 per cent increase would be detrimental to our future employment goals,” he said. “The Town has worked extremely hard to attract industrial and commercial. This will be a deterrent to that,” said Ward 2 local Councillor Renrick Ashby in agreeing with Coun. Collier. Whether imposing a DC on industrial and commercial would have an impact hasn’t been made, Mr. Watson said. “Places that have high DCs, like Missis- sauga, have all kinds of development. Oth- ers, have low development charges and low development.” “There’s never an easy answer. It’s the age-old question of will it hurt develop- ment. It came down to the loss of $8 mil- lion. Financially, this is the best place to go,” said finance director Rob Ford. “We had a 50-per cent reduction and I haven’t seen it as a catalyst in the Town,” said planning and development director Paul Allore. “We don’t see it as a deterrent to development. We have good, readily ser- viced land and we don’t know where it can be made up,” Mr. Allore said. “We’ve come a long way. With this de- velopment charge, investors will go away,” Coun. Ashby said. Paul McGuigan, a senior manager with Higgins Development Partners, supported having a transition period. “It’s a good incentive for developers. The planning process takes months,” he said. The company has approval for a 100,000- sq.-ft. building and will be submitting an application for another building in the next couple of months, Mr. McGuigan said. “Would it change our plan, no. We’re al- ready in,” he said. “This isn’t taking us by surprise.” $29.95 plus tax SENIOR SPECIAL AVAILABLE!!! Call ahead for fast service.

OSHAWA — Durham police seized a loaded handgun and arrested two men after an early morning traffic stop in Oshawa on Saturday, July 5. Police stopped a car with two occu- pants at 3:30 a.m. The driver received a 12-hour driving suspension after a roadside sobriety test registered ‘warn’. The second man did not have a valid license. Sylvanus Wright, 39, of Toronto and Ricardo McLean, 29, of Oshawa were arrested after police found a loaded .357 Magnum handgun in the trunk of the car. They each face a slew of gun charges, including possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon and possession of a weapon obtained by crime. Police say guns and drugs con- tinue to be a growing concern in local communities. Anyone with informa- tion about them or other illegal activ- ity should call their local police or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Stephanie Kewell’s post-secondary plans have had a wrench thrown into them By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com AJAX — A Pickering High School student is having to rethink her career path following a course cancellation in her final year. Throughout high school, Stephanie Kewell has been working toward the credit requirements for Ryerson Uni- versity’s photography program, but the cancellation of her school’s Grade 12 photography class has created a road- block in her path. “I’ve been wanting to go to Ryerson for photography since I was seven,” Stephanie said. Grade 12 photography is a prerequisite. When Stephanie found out it was cancelled, she was shocked. “I kind of wondered why and what I was going to do after that,” Stephanie said. “I was really mad at first, I was frustrated.” Throughout high school she’s taken art and photography courses. As she enters her final year of secondary school, it’s too late to change her ca- reer path unless she stays an extra year, she said. Although situations like Stephanie’s come up sometimes, they aren’t too prevalent, said Anne Taylor, Pickering High School’s principal. Each year, the school cancels any- where from 15 to 30 classes because of enrolment, most of them being elec- tives, not programs compulsory for graduation. Craft courses, geographies such as travel and tourism, and other areas where there is a vast array of studies are examples of electives that could be chopped. “Sometimes what we’ll do depend- ing on the course, we’ll run it every other year,” Ms. Taylor said. That would be indicated in the course calendar beforehand, she said. They also add new courses sug- gested by department heads, pending student interest. “We have aboriginal studies and black studies courses that are new this year and they’re fully subscribed,” Ms. Taylor said. If they don’t have some- thing a student needs for post-second- ary school, they try to make arrange- ments with another school to maybe go there for a semester. “And sometimes it’s learn at home or night school,” said Ms. Taylor. “We make a lot of effort to help them get what they need.” When Stephanie found out about the change, she made an appointment with her guidance department which told her the program was full but can- celled because of space, she said, but Ms. Taylor said that wouldn’t be the case. “I would never do that – I would find a room for it,” said Ms. Taylor. Photog- raphy can be taught in any classroom, she said. The guidance department did tell Stephanie she could switch schools, but the closest one she knows of that offers it is in Pickering, too far away. It’s also not offered through night or sum- mer school because it’s an elective, she said. Over the next couple of weeks, she’s going to continue to look into other schools. “I plan on calling Ryerson and other universities that offer photography and see what I can do about it,” she said. Stephanie said schools should plan which courses they are going to run at the beginning of the year. If that had been the case, she could have devel- oped an alternative plan sooner. Course cancellation leaves student in limbo THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 9, 2008 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com Group hopes to get more tourists soon By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Yacht Club was more than happy to move its headquarters from a portable to a brand new clubhouse recently. “It took about two years of actu- ally building it,” Dave Willis, vice commodore said, adding it was under construction for about four years due to red tape. The club, which has been around since 1976, comes from rather humble beginnings. “When the club first opened it was a trailer,” said Pat van Zadel, the club’s commodore, adding it eventually grew to 35 members. But in the past four years, it has dwindled down to five due to members moving to other clubs in the meantime. The club was able to save its funds during its busier years and is using that at the mo- ment for lease payments. “We’re going to re-establish and resurrect this club,” Ms. van Zadel said. “Our goal: we should have 50 members by next year, which should be no problem.” She hopes the improvements of the Frenchman’s Bay Harbour entrance will help attract larger boats to Pickering. A class envi- ronmental assessment is currently underway and the channel will be dredged to make it more safe. Ann Matthee, secretary and member since the yacht club’s in- ception, says the club’s location on Frenchman’s Bay is a great attrac- tion to boaters since there are res- taurants, small shops, the beach and Millennium Square nearby, and is only a short drive from the Pickering Town Centre. Another rare attraction: documiniums, where people can actually buy a dock. “Our name alone represents the City of Pickering,” Ms. Van Zadel said. “We’re the Pickering Yacht Club and we’re pretty proud of that.” People don’t have to be rich or own a yacht to join the club. In fact, memberships are available to people with boats ($500), those without ($100) and past members without a boat ($50). It’s the best of both worlds, Ms. Matthee said; It’s not only a great way to relax, but a great way to meet people with the events it hosts, such as wine and cheese nights, water lunches, rib roasts and a lobster festival. “I just think it’s a relaxed life- style,” Ms. Matthee said. “And it’s cheaper than owning a cottage.” To contact the club, call the Frenchman’s Bay Marina at 905- 839-5036.

The first phase of the World Cyber Games starts in Brooklin for Ontario gamers By Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The World Cyber Games (WCG) is calling all gamers across Ontario to show off their skills in intense competition. The WCG has chosen Game Cafe in Brooklin to host the event for the sec- ond year, bringing together competi- tors from Durham and other areas in Ontario. Regional qualifiers will go to the na- tional final in Montreal at the end of August. They will represent Canada in the ultimate battle at the international competition in November: the WCG 2008 Grand Final in Cologne, Germa- ny. WCG originated in South Korea and is the world’s largest video game com- petition. Gamers from more than 70 countries participate in the tourna- ment that lasts seven days and awards winners with medals and large sums of prize money. The purpose of the WCG is to encourage global harmony through healthy gaming. William Windrem, game facilitator for the regional games, said Game Cafe is well-equipped for the games with 10 computers and a large screen. The number of players for each competition varies but has reached up to 100 in the past. Everyone is invited to join the gaming action, with ages of players ranging from 13-35. “You want to find out if you’re the best in the country, then come on out,” Mr. Windrem said. “Here is your chance to prove it.” There will be six different tourna- ments at Game Cafe throughout July for the following games: Counter Strike 1.6 (5v5), Halo 3 (4v4), Warcraft III, Project Gotham Racing 4, Virtua Fight- er 5 and Guitar Hero III. Guitar Hero III competition took place July 2. Each game costs $15 a person and there will be cash prizes and spon- sored gifts to be won. Game Cafe is located at 58 Baldwin St. in Brooklin. For more information or to register, call 905-655-3306. Video game competition kicks off in Durham Region Game dates Halo 3: July 12 Counter Strike 1.6: July 16 Warcraft III Frozen Throne: July 19 Money to improve long-term care, mental health services By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Province hopes focus- sing on community-based health care will reduce wait times in Ontario hospitals and offer better access to care. “Our government is committed to im- proving patient satisfaction and enhancing Ontarian’s confidence in our health care system,” said Minister of Health and Long- Term Care David Caplan. “This investment will not only help pro- vide Ontarians with better access to care, closer to home, but also will help to ease the pressures in our hospitals, especially in emergency rooms.” The provincial government announced recently an increase of $13.9 million to the Central East Local Health Integration Network for community-based health ser- vices. The funding is part of a $127-million investment in health care services across Ontario to stabilize health care services, and ease pressures in the hospitals. “Durham Region is about 40 per cent of the LHIN, so we should be in line for a significant amount of funding,” said Ajax- Pickering MPP Joe Dickson in an inter- view. Although the Province allocated the funding, “you can see that’s also a priority in the Central East LHIN,” said CE LHIN communications lead Katie Cronin-Wood. It’s all about what’s best for the patient, and care will be based on their specific needs, she said. The greatest allotment is about $7.2 mil- lion for home care services through Com- munity Care Access Centres, local organi- zations that provide access to government- funded home and community services and long-term care homes. “That’s where they feel province-wide the need is,” Mr. Dickson said, adding it allows patients to receive care in a more comfortable and conducive residence for people with severe disabilities or acute ill- ness, for example. More funding for health care is ongoing and is certainly the number-one focus in the Province, Mr. Dickson said, “but no matter how much we do, we still should be doing more.” The CE LHIN will now decide exactly to which agencies the funding will go.

The design, a fourth-year project by four University of Ontario Insti- tute (UOIT) of Technology students, features a mechanism which stores energy in the form of compressed air each time it’s manually opened. Later, the energy can be used for assisted automatic openings, ensur- ing the door stays functional dur- ing emergency situations and power loss. It’s also energy efficient be- cause it doesn’t rely on electricity. “We are extremely pleased with the success of our project,” said Mike MacLeod, a member of the design team which also includes recent en- gineering graduates Mark Bernacki, Ben Fagan, and Matt Van Wierin- gen. “It’s a rewarding experience to de- velop an idea that could greatly im- pact communities – and it’s good for the environment too.” So far, the design has had two pat- ent submissions and international recognition. The prototype won first place at the UOIT Capstone Design competi- tion, an internal contest held in the fall of 2007. The group was recognized with a second-place finish in the Miner- va Canada James Ham Safe Design Awards contest and was one of two teams to represent Canada at Tal- ente 2008, an international competi- tion held in Germany in March. The prototype was also displayed in April at the annual Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Association con- ference in Toronto, followed by the Ontario Centre of Excellence Discov- ery conference in Toronto in May. “I am extremely proud of these students,” said Dr. Remon Pop-Iliev, the team’s supervising professor. “Their innovative design is anoth- er affirmation of the valuable hands- on research opportunities that stu- dents are exposed to at the UOIT. Our students have many opportu- nities to work on projects that have great potential for society.” The UOIT’s Office of Technology Transfer and Commercialization is seeking industry partners interested in supporting commercial develop- ment of the door design and license or purchase the patents. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Matt Van Wieringen, left, and Mark Bernacki are part of a four- person UOIT Capstone Design Project team. The team was recognized for a door design that features a mechanism that stores energy each time it is manually opened to be later used for assisted automatic openings.                           4HIS0ASSPORTINCLUDES s &2%%,5.#("5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTHRU4HURSDAY3ATURDAYONLY s &2%%$)..%2"5&&%4 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO3ATURDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE,UNCH"UFFETS 6ALID3ATURDAYAND3UNDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID-ONDAYTO4HURSDAYONLY s "UY/NE 'ET/NE&REE$INNER"UFFETS 6ALID&RIDAYTO3UNDAYONLY 7HILESUPPLIESLAST,IMITEDNUMBERAVAILABLE 3EEDESCRIPTIONSANDTERMSCONDITIONSAT WWWPASSPORTTOSAVINGSCA  '34  4HEæ.EWSæ!DVERTISERæHASæACQUIREDæTERRIlæCæDEALSæFROMæ LEADINGæLOCALæMERCHANTSæOFFERINGæDISCOUNTSæATæBETWEENææ ANDææTIMESæTHEæORIGINALæVALUEææ7EæPACKAGEæTHEMæINæAæ UNIQUEæFORMATæWEæCALLæTHEæ0ASSPORTæTOæ3AVINGSææ!æLIMITEDæ NUMBERæOFæ0ASSPORTSæAREæPRODUCEDæFORæEACHæMERCHANTæ 4HEYæAREæAVAILABLEæWHILEæSUPPLYæLASTS £°ÊÜÜÜ°«>ÃëœÀÌ̜Ã>ۈ˜}ðV> Ó°Ê >Ê™äx‡{Óȇ{ÈÇÈÊiÝÌÊÓÓÓ Î°ÊʘʫiÀܘɜÀʓ>ˆÊ̜\Ê £ÎäÊ œ““iÀVˆ>ÊÛi˜Õi]ʍ>ÝÊ" Ê£-ÊÓx VÉœÊ ÕÀ…>“Ê*>ÃëœÀÌÊ̜Ê->ۈ˜}à ÎÊ -9Ê 79-Ê /"Ê 19 4HEAREASBESTVALUEBUFFET !LLYOUCANEAT "ARS^/VERFOODITEMS "ÛiÀÊfÎää°ääʈ˜ÊÛ>ÕiÊ­ÓÎÊvÀiiÊ LÕvviÌîÊ>ÊvœÀʍÕÃÌÊfÓ{°™™Ê«ÕÃÊ}ÃÌ° Ê Ý«ˆÀiÃÊ՘iÊÎä]ÊÓää™ œÌÊÛ>ˆ`ʜ̅iÀ½ÃÊ >Þ]Ê>̅iÀ½ÃÊ >ÞʜÀÊ6>i˜Ìˆ˜i½ÃÊ >Þ °° °"° 3OMEOF'REAT7ALLS&EATURE )TEMS)NCLUDE #RAB,EGS 3USHI 4EPPENYAKI 3ASHIMI 3HRIMPS 3TEAKS ""12IBS 0IZZA $ESSERTS )CE#REAMAND MUCHMUCHMORE /…iÊ>Ài>½ Ã Ê L i Ã Ì Ê Û >  Õ i Ê L Õ v v i Ì t ÊޜÕÊV>˜ Ê i > Ì ™Ê >ÀÃ"ÛiÀÊ£ääÊ v œ œ ` Ê ˆ Ì i “ Ã Ê À>LÊi}Ã] Ê -

AJAX 905-686-1440 BETWEEN HARWOOD & MONARCH Nestled in the rolling coun- tryside near the slopes of the Great Pine Ridge in Ashburn, WindReach Farm is a 105- acre working farm and nature interpretation centre specifi - cally designed for people with disabilities. Founded in 1989 by Al- exander (Sandy) J. Mitchell, WindReach Farm is a unique place which allows visitors to experience fully wheelchair accessible recreational ac- tivities and explore the entire property from fi elds and ponds to barns to playgrounds. Sandy has spent his life proving to people that with vision, perseverance and community, nothing is insurmountable. The establishment of WindReach is a testament to this man’s determination to help others live their lives to the fullest. Despite being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Sandy developed a keen interest in farming during his teen years and set about pursuing his dream of one day opening a fully accessible farm. The farm has fi ve program areas to choose from, includ- ing: the visitors program (where anyone is welcome to contact the farm to set up a visit and enjoy a wagon ride, petting zoo, museum, boardwalk, pond-to-pond trail and other activities); therapeutic riding program where over 130 riders with special needs participate in therapeutic rid- ing lessons; overnight accommodations which include two accessible apartments available; a work experience pro- gram where over 60 individuals with special needs come with support to help out with farm chores on a regular basis; and a volunteer program, where individuals 16 years of age or older assist in the many areas on the farm and at the stables. Whether you’re on their fully accessible hay wagon ride, rolling along the paved pond-to-pond trail, feeding and interacting with the animals or picking apples from our dwarf apple trees, WindReach can accommodate any- one, and give them an experience they will never forget. “Our friendly staff and volunteers treat each visitor as Steve & Peggy’s 1725 KINGSTON ROAD PICKERING, ONTARIO if this is their only trip they may take this year and we aim to make it a memorable one,” says Kelly Taylor, programs and activities man- ager, adding: “WindReach Farm continues to infl uence the community Sandy fi rst sought, drawing people to a place where the barriers of the world are left behind.” Enthusiastic visitors come for a variety of reasons. Some to take part in our many pro- grams designed specifi cally for individuals with special needs: others just to enjoy the allure of wide-open countryside. Upcoming events include: Poor Tom Concert - July 9th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, Olde Time Farm Fair - July 19th from 10 am - 3 pm, Summer Drumming - July 24th and August 14th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. There is a cost for these events, please call us at 905-655-5827 for more informa- tion. Located in Ashburn (north of Whitby) at 312 Townline Road, WindReach Farm has been operating as a charity for 19 years, and sees more than 22,000 visitors in all of their programs. All visits to the farm are by appointment and there is a recommended donation for a visit to the Farm.

Chandler House Publishing is holding its annual mystery writer’s convention when someone gets murdered. There are 12 cast members and each one is a potential suspect. The audience and the attending mystery writers need to come together to solve the crime. “It is incredibly funny. It is a real riff on murder mysteries of the past and present and it’s just really fun to be part of solving a crime,” says Ms. Oakes. The show is being presented by the Pickering Museum Village Foundation. The production is part of the fundraising for the Brougham Central Hotel Restoration Proj- ect. “It’s a building on our location that’s been a part of the museum since the beginning but has never been open to the public,” says Mandy Smiles, executive producer of the Backwoods Players. “When restored it’s going to be interpreted as a temperance hotel, which it was in its history, and that’s unique because it will be the only temper- ance hotel in Ontario.” Upon completion, the public will be able to come and tour the refurbished hotel. Since money generated from the show is going towards charity everyone who buys a ticket will receive a tax receipt. This is the latest production from the Backwoods Players, which has developed a reputation for putting on very entertaining shows. “They do unique productions, they do productions that have a basis in Pickering history and a basis in Canadian history,” says Ms. Smiles “They just put on such a wonder- ful production.” ‘Whodunit?: The Case of the Novel Death’ will be presented at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre on July 12, 13, 19, and 20. Doors open at 5 p.m. with the show start- ing at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and cost $45. To reserve tickets call the Pickering Mu- seum Village at 905-683-8401.

Mark Kalzer protects his gal Melissa Cadman from Chris Chow dur- ing a an intense scene. By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com UXBRIDGE — Summer musical theatre is here. Ryleepuss Productions is producing ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ , running now until July 19. Producer Mike Bridgeman said he thought it was time for summer theatre in Uxbridge and decided, after several fall and winter plays, to branch out to a musical. Several people had been asking him to do this musi- cal so he decided now was the time. “I like it,” he said. “It’s one of my favou- rites.” A play within a play, ‘Jesus Christ Super- star’ follows a troupe of modern actors who relive the story of the betrayal and crucifix- ion of Jesus. The musical has a cast of 27, with peo- ple from Port Perry, Uxbridge, Oshawa and Whitby involved, Bridgeman said. Directing is Dave Cardinal, of Oshawa, who also plays Judas. The choreography is being done by professional choreographer Baiba Senecal. The musical director is Geoff Daye, of Os- hawa. As to the cast, Jesus is played by James Wyatt Buren, of Uxbridge. Mary Magde- lene is Mary Schneider, of Oshawa. Pilate is played by Michael Schneider, of Oshawa, Mary’s father. Caiaphas is Bill McKee, of Port Perry. Herod is Johnny Soln, of Oshawa. Peter is played by Travis Smalley, of Ux- bridge, Simon is Mike Peterson, and Annas is played by Kendra West, of Stouffville. Bridgeman said there’s a large chorus, too. “It’s the biggest cast we’ve ever worked with,” he said. And the biggest budget. He’s producing it in conjunction with Community Living Quinte West. Proceeds will be split, with Ryleepuss’s half of the profits going to Pre- cious Minds in Uxbridge and Windreach Farm in north Whitby. The show runs through July 19 at Uxbridge Music Hall on Main Street. Tickets are $16 and $18 and are available at Presents, Pres- ents, Presents, 905-852-9544.

He was fascinated by the outdoors and, by age 4, was already portraying the area’s landscapes and animals. Wagar became a carpen- ter and an auto mechanic before studying commer- cial art and working in the field for a few years. He eventually opened a small gallery in a small town in Central Ontario, where he sells his works. Wagar’s art is on display at Pickering City Hall until Aug. 8. The pubic is invited to see his works from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Trio of track and field athletes qualify for Olympics By Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com WINDSOR — The number of athletes that will represent the Durham Region at the Olympic Games in Beijing next month grew by three on Saturday after- noon. The Canadian Track and Field Championships in Wind- sor served as the backdrop for Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, Anson Henry and Tabia Charles to book a spot on the team that will repre- sent Canada from August 8-24 in China. Lopes-Schliep of Whitby, and Henry of Pickering, blazed a trail on the track, while Charles, also of Pickering, booked her ticket in the long jump. The first of the three to qualify was Lopes-Schliep as part of a very busy afternoon for the 25- year-old. She was on the track for a 100m semifinal heat at 3:20 p.m. where she advanced to the final, returned to win the 100m hurdles at 4 p.m. in a new stadium record time of 12.78, then raced the final of the 100m at 5:10 p.m., where she won the bronze medal. And if that weren’t enough, there was a television interview and two medal presentations in between. Still, she was full of energy by the time she faced the print media. “It felt really good,” she said of crossing the finish line as the Ca- nadian champion in the hurdles and qualifying for Beijing. The start was a bit of a test of nerves, as a false start the first time the runners stepped into the blocks required a restart. “I didn’t pop out of the blocks like I normally do, so I had a little work to do. I’m hoping that when I get over to Beijing, I can put my beginning, middle and end together and I’m looking forward to some good things to happen.” After her lengthy media ses- sion, she was swarmed by a huge throng of family supporters just outside of the track, the majority wearing red and white T-shirts in support as the photo ops and celebration continued well after the race.

MY CHILD’S PROJECT IS DUE! Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s till matters MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children. Leadership in education What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives. As a result of this community-wide planning initiative, Trinity College School has adopted a new mission statement: developing habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.

He cut it close, requiring a time of 10.28 or bet- ter to get to Beijing. There was no big celebration at the finish line, however. Henry thought the times he posted earlier this year were already good enough, and wasn’t sure he needed to run a top time again. “From what I understood, because how I finished last year at worlds, all I had to do was run a B-standard (10.28) once this year and I’ve done that three times already this year, so I didn’t even know that I needed to do it here as well.” Charles was the last of the three to quali- fying after a third place finish in the long jump in the early evening was enough for her to get to Beijing, needing a top-4 finish to get a spot on the Olympic team. Despite making the team, she was a little disappointed that she could only muster a best leap of 6.30m in six attempts, as a few tears of frustration followed the competi- tion. “I came here knowing I could jump my personal best or better,” she said, hop- ing for a jump in the 6.80- to 6.90-metre range. “But it’s OK. There are bigger fish to fry with the Olympics coming.” Athletics Canada announced its track and field team for Beijing on Monday, with the entire Canadian team announcement coming July 23 by the Canadian Olympic Committee. +)';\e`jfeJk \Xjkf]Nff[Y`e\ 0',%+.'%'0.+ D8IB?8D (+..9XpcpJk Y\kn\\eC`m\igffc9ifZb 0',%/*(%-.'/ G@:B<I@E> JKFI<?FLIJ1Dfe[Xp$=i`[Xp10$/#JXkli[Xp10$-#Jle[Xp1('$, J_fgfec`e\7nnn%^fc]Zc\XiXeZ\nXi\_flj\%Zfd D@JJ@JJ8L>8&9I8DGKFE:8D9I@;><N8K<ICFF FKK8N8&B8E8K8 Planning your Golf Tournament?

Perdita Felicien, Durham’s best-known Olympian and two-time world champion hurdler, is holding out hope of competing for Canada at the Beijing Olympic Games. The 28-year-old Pickering resident received a medical exemption from last weekend’s Cana- dian Track and Field Championships in Windsor owing to a foot injury she suf- fered in February. Felicien has until July 22 to run the qualifying standard for the 100-metre hurdles, 13.11 sec- onds, in order to earn a spot on the Canadian team. If she’s successful, Beijing would mark Felicien’s third Olympic Games, having competed previously in 2000 in Sydney, Australia and in 2004 in Athens. Durham track and field athletes book tickets to Beijing Perdita Felicien DURHAM — The Pickering Strikers girls’ under-11 rep team was the lone local squad to hit paydirt at the 42nd annual Robbie Inter- national Soccer Tournament, which ended in Scarborough recently. Seventeen Ajax and Pickering participated in the prestigious fundraising tournament for cystic fibrosis. The Ajax United Soccer Club also hosted two divisions — girls’ under-15 and under-18 — at Ajax’s Monarch Park. The Strikers downed last year’s champ Vaughan Azzurri ‘97 3-1 on penalty kicks after the girls’ under-11 division title game ended in a 2-2 draw after regulation time. Jamila Thombs and Simone Wark scored in regulation time for the Strikers. Overtime ended in a deadlock as well. Both goalkeepers suffered injuries during the game, but it came down to them and pen- alty kicks to determine the winner, with the Strikers winning out. In the semifinal, the Strikers faced a deter- mined Oshawa Kicks Fury team. Pickering beat the Fury 2–1. Madison Penfold scored both goals. The girls lost their first game in round-robin play to Whitby Iroquois U11A 5-3. Thombs scored twice and Megan Doll added one. In Game 2, Kailey Steinhausen’s goal allowed Pickering to pull off a 1-0 win over the Etobi- coke Energy. Solid goalkeeping by Taylor Lamothe and sweeping defence by Stephanie Tannis, Ashna Ganeshan, Nikayla Rodney-Scarlett, Heather Brownlee and Nicole Laing helped Pickering earn its second shutout with a 4–0 win over the North London Spartans. Thombs scored twice, with singles to Doll and Shalena Acker- man. Other team members are Sara Scholefield, and Nicole McMillen. The coaching staff in- clude Gene Gesualdo, Krish Ganeshan, Bill Scholefield and Shannon Gesualdo. Two other local teams made it to the finals in their respective divisions, only to finish as runners-up. The Ajax Eagles dropped a close 2-1 decision to the Markham Lightning in the boys’ under-13 final. Devant Brown had the Eagles’ lone goal. Meanwhile, the Ajax Gun- ners lost to the Erin Mills Golden Eagles 3-1 in the boys’ under-15 division final. Sherlon Drummond scored the Gunners’ only goal.

Playing back-to-back games at the Pickering Recreation Complex, also known as ‘Fort Pickering’, the Patriots were unbeaten after posting an 11-11 draw with the first-place Cale- don Bandits on Sunday and a 15-5 victory over the Inn- isfil Wolfpack on Saturday. The Patriots played the Centre Wellington Warlords at the complex on Monday night, with the result un- available at press time. The win and tie up the Patriots’ record to 6-4-1, good for third place in the Ontario Junior ‘C’ Lacrosse League standings. In Saturday’s game, a late goal by Caledon, with 1:29 remaining in the contest, pulled the Bandits even at 11-11 with the Patriots. Neither team scored in the overtime frame. Craig Espinho led the way for the Patriots with a five-goal, one-assist ef- fort. Steve Douitsis added a pair of goals, while George Jimas, Cam Ferguson, Kyle Crane and Kenny Burst chipped in with single markers. Meanwhile, the Patriots, despite giving up the first goal to Innisfil, had little trouble in devouring the Wolfpack. West Durham scored eight unanswered goals in the second and third periods to sew up the victory. Todd Nakasuji and Jimas led the way with a hat trick apiece, followed by Mike Hart, and Espinho each with two, Douitsis, Adam Zulak, KJ MacNeil and Colin Skyvington all with one. Douitsis recorded four assists.
