It was slightly more than 25 years ago that Terry Fox began his marathon of hope across Canada, and though he didn’t make it from coast to coast, thousands from across the country were still able to catch a short glimpse of him and cheer him along his way. In Durham, many were on hand for his trek through the region and still re- member the day Mr. Fox’s path took him through their com- munity. In Pickering Village, to- morrow (July 9) marks the 25th anniversary of his visit. “I was a superintendent with the police force,” Whitby resi- dent Dick Bodley recalls. “Duty officers met him on the 35 high- way, at the junction of Hwy. 2 at Bowmanville. We were waiting to escort him. It was the first time a municipal police force was involved, because the OPP had picked him up at the pro- vincial border.” Terry ran into Pickering’s heart 25 years ago Sales of invalid taxi licences generated as much as $250,000, Durham police say By Jeff Mitchell and Danielle Milley Staff Writers PICKERING — A former Pick- ering bylaw officer is accused by Durham Regional Police of rak- ing in as much as $250,000 by selling fraudulent taxi licences while employed by the City. A man was arrested this week following a lengthy investigation into a scam in which unauthor- ized taxicab licence plates were sold to unsuspecting buyers. The City has declared the plates in- valid and is taking steps to re- trieve them. “The investigation is continu- ing on in regards to various li- cence plates that are out there,” said Pickering chief executive of- ficer Tom Quinn. Prompted by complaints from cab drivers, the City of Pickering began investigating the issue of taxi licensing internally. “From the findings of the foren- sic audit and council’s direction, we turned it over to the police,” said Mr. Quinn, who handled the investigation out of his office. Between January 2000 and Au- gust 2003, prospective taxi op- erators forked over large sums of cash to buy licence plates from a bylaw officer, say police, adding the issuing of cab licences was not within the scope of their re- sponsibilities. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner is chairman of Pickering’s newly formed taxicab advisory committee. “It’s a turning point in the in- formation going public,” he said. Coun.

But, in a decision released Tuesday, the Ontario Court of Appeal reduced the time the prominent lawyer will spend in custody, imposing a “blended” sentence of real jail time and house arrest. Mr. Davies has been sen- tenced to 12 months less a day in jail on two charges of breach of trust. That is to be followed by 12 months of house arrest for two fraud- related charges. Mr. Davies, 46, of Whit- by, pleaded guilty to all the counts in 2003. He was sen- tenced by Ontario Court Jus- tice Mary Devlin to two years less a day in jail. Through his lawyer, Marie Henein, Mr. Davies appealed that sentence before the Appeals Court in early April. In Tu esday’s ruling, Ap- peal Court Justices Robert Blair, Susan Lang and John Laskin agreed with Ms. Henein’s argument that the lower court judge had failed to place enough empha- sis on Mr. Davies’s mental health — he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1993 — in passing sentence. The Appeal Court panel found the judge “miscon- strued” evidence at a sen- tencing hearing, arriving at the conclusion that Mr. Davies’s criminal behaviour was not directly attributable to his illness. The high court found that Mr. Davies’s condition, which manifested itself in periods of hypomania, played a significant role in his transgressions. “Much of the appellant’s behaviour... was typical be- haviour of a manic episode,” the judges wrote. “There is at least some relationship between his illness and the crimes he committed.” Mr. Davies, a prominent assistant Crown attorney who built a reputation for tackling tough cases and working long hours, pleaded guilty in February of 2003. In an agreed statement of facts read into the record at that time, court heard how Mr. Davies misused his au- thority to extract payment of debts for a client — whom he later bilked of thousands of dollars — and misappro- priated court-ordered pay- ments by accused people whose cases were settled without trials. Some of those funds were given directly to victims of crime for whom Mr. Davies felt sorry, court heard. Mr. Davies also drained a charitable fund linked to Durham College of almost $50,000, according to the statement of facts. In passing judgment on what they called a “poignant and disturbing case,” the Appeal Court judges noted Mr. Davies’s commitment to his role as a Crown pros- ecutor — a job he took on after being suspended from private practice for misap- propriation of funds in the early 1990s — and the high regard in which he was held by his peers. The judges also noted that while Mr. Davies mis- appropriated thousands of dollars, the actions were in large part for the benefit of others, rather than himself. “... (Mr. Davies) is a man with a deep-seated desire to help others and the bulk of the proceeds of his mis- deeds were used by him for charitable and other similar purposes,” the judges wrote. Nevertheless, Mr. Davies’s offences, particularly the breaches of trust committed by a public official, warrant- ed a jail term, the Appeal Court ruled. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 PAGE 3 P Red Hatters...Check Us Out Two MomsandaGrannyTwo Moms and a Granny 905831-9341905 831-9341 621 LIVERPOOL RD.

Mon-Fri 9-9z pm Sat/Sun 9-6 pm Metroland Durham Former Durham Region Crown receives jail time By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Police are trying to track down the people responsible for a spate of paintball gun attacks that have left several people in Dur- ham Region injured. As many as 10 separate incidents have been reported, and several people injured in the attacks, said Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul McCurbin. “It’s very disturbing,” Sgt. Mc- Curbin said. “It could cause a lot of injury.” Police have issued an appeal to the public for help in identifying sev- eral suspects connected to drive-by shootings recently in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Victims have provided varying descriptions of suspects and the vehicles in which they were trav- elling, leading police to conclude they’re dealing with a number of people, Sgt. McCurbin said. Police are especially concerned about a number of incidents in which people have been hurt: • On Friday, July 1, a 79-year- old man was shot while standing at the end of his driveway on Del- aney Drive in Ajax. The man, who sustained a cut on his forearm and bruising to his hip after being hit by paintballs, told police he saw a dark-coloured vehicle approaching before hearing a bang and being struck by the projectiles. • A 6-year-old boy was shot in the neck while cycling with a 10-year- old friend on Lax Avenue in Ajax around 8 p.m., July 3. The young- ster suffered broken blood vessels and swelling to his neck, police said. Suspects are described as two white males and a white female in a silver four-door vehicle. Police are concerned about the number of incidents they’re dealing with, and the very real possibility someone could be seriously hurt, Sgt. McCurbin said. Anyone caught shooting at people with the paint- ball guns could be slapped with criminal charges, he warned. Police are also appealing to par- ents to make sure their kids are using paintball guns in a safe and appropriate way. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Call 310-CASH Durham p olice officers alarmed at rising paintball gun attacks PICKERING — A woman has been charged and the Children’s Aid Society contacted after police officers retrieved an infant from a sweltering car Tuesday. Durham Regional Police got a call about the infant from a con- cerned passerby around 3 p.m. July 5. Cops responding to the Kings- ton Road No Frills store found the six-month-old boy in a baby seat in the back of a BMW that had its windows rolled up. Officers opened an unlocked rear door to pluck the child from the humid car interior, police said. Witnesses told police the child had been in the car for at least 20 min- utes before emergency workers were contacted. The child’s 28-year-old mother, who is from Pickering, showed up moments after the baby was rescued and was arrested on a charge of child abandonment. The CAS was contacted and the baby was turned over to his father after being checked out by paramedics. Pickering baby plucked from car, mom charged Mr. Fox had some re- quests for the policemen who escorted him on his run. “He didn’t want any mo- torcycles in front of him because of the fumes, and he didn’t want our cars to be right beside him,” says Mr. Bodley. Joining Mr. Fox on his run for a short while, Mr. Bodley received a unique view of the journey that few shared. “He had a motorhome with him, and some staff,” says Mr. Bodley. “It was very important to him that the spot where he stopped was marked, and that he’d start run- ning again from the same place.” Mr. Bodley has good memories of Fox. “It was very impressive to see him run. He was just a quiet kid, and obviously in a lot of stress, running on that leg, but he was deter- mined. When he left St. John’s he had no doubt he was going to see Victoria.” Mr. Bodley’s daughter Cathi Schoon also has fond memories of seeing Mr. Fox run through Pick- ering Village. At the time she was just a few days away from giving birth to her daughter. “My mom was getting her hair done and I was there with her, and my dad, who was escorting him, he called us and told us he was coming through. It was nice to be there.” Mrs. Schoon was struck by Mr. Fox’s dedication. “There was a lot of cour- age and strength that he had,” she says, recalling the crowd of people gath- ered to watch him showed their support and respect. “Everyone was cheer- ing, everyone was behind him,” she says. In Pickering, the Terry Fox Run Committee is pay- ing tribute to the silver an- niversary of Mr. Fox’s visit to the city on July 10, 1980. Pickering has proclaimed July 10 as Terry Fox Day and a rally gets underway at 11 a.m. at the gazebo in Esplanade Park, east of the Pickering Civic Complex. Te am Terry and several dignitaries are to be bused out to Kingston and No- tion roads and then they are going to walk back to the gazebo, retracing that portion of Mr. Fox’s run along Kingston Road. This is to be followed by guest speakers and a free Lick’s barbecue lunch. As well, a large TV is being set up at the gazebo to show video of Mr. Fox dur- ing the event. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 PAGE 5 P Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo Ajax resident Devon Schoon, left, was born just days after her mother, Cathi Schoon, watched Terry Fox run through Pickering Village at Kingston Road and Church Street. They returned to the spot this week. ✦ Terry from page 1 Terry Fox was careful to mark his running spot members of the taxi indus- try Thursday morning. “(They) said it’s the be- ginning of the unravelling of what’s going on in the industry,” he said. Sales of the phoney plates may have brought in more than $250,000; the taxi operators buying them believed the transactions to be legitimate, police said. The accused resigned from the City bylaw de- partment in October 2003. “He left for other rea- sons not connected with this,” Mr. Quinn said. The City is continuing its internal review. Over the past year “a vast number of changes” have been made in the bylaw department: the City hired new bylaw officers and a new manager. “This will never happen again,” Mr. Quinn said. Fraser James Copeland, 45, of Whispi Shore Road in Lindsay, is charged with breach of trust and five counts of fraud over $5,000. He is scheduled to ap- pear in Oshawa court in Oshawa Aug. 15. ✦ Pickering from page 1 Pickering has been making changes to bylaw department Beach postings as of July 4 CLARINGTON Bowmanville Beach East OPEN Bowmanville Beach West OPEN Newcastle Beach Central OPEN AJAX Pickering Beach OPEN Rotary Park POSTED UXBRIDGE º Elgin Pond OPEN WHITBY Whitby Beach OPEN OSHAWA Lakeview Beach East POSTED Lakeview Beach West POSTED PICKERING Frenchman’s Bay East OPEN Frenchman’s Bay West OPEN SCUGOG Kinsmen Beach OPEN Throughout the summer, the Durham Region health department is conducting bacteriological water tests to determine if the following beaches are safe for swimming. P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Municipalities should shake a PA W and make up Pickering shouldn’t rule out current animal services in possibilities P ickering is continuing its journey toward a future animal services system that sets it apart from the current joint program with Ajax and Whitby. But time is running out. The current contract ends this year and options are being explored for other partnerships in providing Pick- ering’s animal control. The reason comes down to the fact Whitby wants more funding from its partners due to the fact the service’s operations are based there. Pickering isn’t prepared to pay any more then it already does under the expiring contract and is going elsewhere instead — not just considering it, but firmly setting its sights in another direction. Officials are exploring options with Courtice and Scarborough facilities. How firm is that stance? In Councillor Bill McLean’s words: ‘The desire to go back to Whitby is not there’. Now, if this is rhetoric and posturing as negotiations continue or even some dialogue is ongoing among Ajax, Pickering and Whitby to make a deal, bravo. There’s no better bargaining position to be in than to have an alter- native ready. At worst, using that as leverage should be enough of a bargaining chip to get Whitby to back down from its funding demand. But, it looks as though Pickering really is opting out of PAW. And that would be a mistake. So quickly abandoning the PAW setup is only inviting uncertainty and growing pains under a new program, along with the fact nothing has been presented to show it can be done more cost efficiently. In addition, the public has not been consulted on which direction it wants its animal services to go. Public meet- ings need to be arranged with facts and alternatives laid out in simple scenarios for people to consider. In the meantime, Pickering politicians should use the situation to their advantage and work on a deal with Whitby to maintain a contract that will be of benefit to the city. Whitby and Pickering can check their egos at the door and together save taxpayers some money and confusion under any other setup that replaces PAW. D evelopers’ methods of donating money to hospital called into question To the editor: Re: ‘Developers insist without the permits, there’ll be no hospital funds,’ News Advertiser, June 29. It is inspiring to see such philanthropy from developers, giving back to the community through the hospital. But usu- ally people don’t demand what they should get first, before giving back. And why the rush? No doubt it is to meet an urgent need... at the hospital.

J une was a sweltering month to be sure. Unusually, there were 13 days when the temperature reached or ex- ceeded 30 C. Along with the heat and humidity comes smog, a thick blanket of pol- luted air that doesn’t just cover the urban south, but on many days lately most of Ontario south of Sudbury. According to the Ontario Medical Association, 210 Durham residents will die prematurely this year due to air pollution. It’s sadly ironic that after a cold winter, when we long for warm days in the summer sun, we’re warned not to exert ourselves outdoors for much of the month due to the poor air quality. The OMA, in the person of Dr. Ted Boadway, says municipal leaders are to be commended for initiatives such as anti-idling bylaws and others that have a direct impact on the air around us. He admits that half of our smog comes from the United States, but quickly adds that the dirty air closest to us can be made cleaner if towns and cities do more. The United States is not too keen on helping us out with the problem, as making factories cleaner would cost a lot of money and hurt the economy. So I guess it’s up to us to deal with the 50 per cent of the smog we can do something about. Using less electricity is a good place to start. At this time of year, it’s light until around 9 p.m., so leave the lights off until you need them. I think I’ve inherited from my grandfather a bit of an obsession as far as lights are con- cerned. He used to walk around the house turning off all the lights that my grand- mother had turned on. I can’t stand to see a light on in an empty room, or two or three blazing when one will do. Air conditioning is a tougher one, especially when it’s been so humid. I’ll admit it: I hate the humidity and love air conditioning. But I’ve been doing my part this summer, turning it up to about 80 during the day, 75 when I get home, and then off all together at night. These things help, but our cars are huge smog creators. The provincial or federal government should use some of our tax dollars to introduce a system where those who take the GO train or bus to work, or car pool, get some sort of rebate, an incentive for helping to reduce smog. The same could apply to industries that address the problem in tangible ways. Smog is killing us and we need to take it seriously. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday.

Tackling smog begins at home EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Mike Ruta staff writer Scotiabank report says U.S. and Mexico gaining ground By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Oshawa still boasts the most productive car assembly plant in North America, but according to a recent report, the Canadian advantage is nar- rowing as our neighbours to the south pick up the pace. The Canadian Auto Report, released Tuesday by Scotia Eco- nomics, indicates that Canadian productivity — measured by the number of worker days needed to assemble a vehicle — improved one per cent last year to 2.78. This is a 4.4 per cent advantage over plants in the United States and a 24 per cent lead over Mexican operations. The annual Harbour Report released last month placed Os- hawa’s Plant 1 in first place for productivity, with 15.85 hours re- quired to produce a vehicle, while Plant 2 took fourth place with 17.47 hours. Despite these impressive stand- ings, experts warn that the gap be- tween Canada and its neighbours is narrowing quickly, compared to statistics from only a few years ago. “Though Canada remains the North American leader in assem- bly productivity, the advantage was much higher in 2001, with productivity 7.7 per cent above the average U.S. plant,” said Car- los Gomes, Scotiabank’s auto in- dustry specialist. “At that time, Canada’s assembly facilities were also roughly 34 per cent more ef- ficient than plants in Mexico.” He said this is partly due to newer, more efficient assembly plants in the American south and a $5 billion (U.S.) investment in the Mexican auto industry, since 2003. According to the report, the narrowing of this gap, combined with the 27 per cent appreciation of the Canadian dollar against U.S. currency since 2002, have re- duced the competitive advantage of Canada’s auto industry to less that $250 (U.S.) per vehicle com- pared with $400 (U.S.) three years ago. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P HWY 2 & CHURCH ST., AJAX • 905-427-0111HWY 2 & CHURCH ST., AJAX • 905-427-0111 THE PRAISE “...very well-built & well-engineered car, with numerous standard features for a relatively low price.” - TORONTO STAR “...Hyundai really does seem to have caught up to its Japanese rivals.” -GLOBE AND MAIL “...Hyundai engineers have come in producing a sedan that rivals the best in the segment. - DURHAM WHEELS THE FEATURES • 162 HP 2.0L DOHC CVVT engine • Dual front airbags with side and curtain airbags • Air • Cruise Control • 5 speed manual transmission • Keyless Remote with alarm system • AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with 6 speakers • Power windows, locks & heated mirrors • Available ABS, Traction Control and Electronic Stability System FROM $21,900 PDI, freight, admin fees, and taxes extra.

PREMIERING Saturday, July 9 9 am - 4 pm Durham Truck & Equipment Sales & Service 610 Finley Ave., Ajax (off Bayly or Westney) “Refreshments“ Monday & Tuesday, July 11 & 12 At the FIFTH WHEEL Bowmanville (exit Waverly)DURHAM TRUCK & EQUIPMENT SALES & SERVICE Durham’s GM plants best in North America, but gap is narrowing By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Compact cars and small sport utility vehicles were the driving force behind a sig- nificant sales increase at General Motors (GM) Canada last month, giving the beleaguered company a boost after months of declining numbers and layoff anxiety. According to figures released this week, the company sold 43,307 vehicles in June, up 19.1 per cent from the same time last year. Passenger car sales were up 24.2 per cent and truck sales in- creased 14.4 per cent. “Nineteen per cent is quite dra- matic,” said GM spokesman Rich- ard James. “For a company like ours that sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles, that represents a signifi- cant number.” Mr. James said the change can mostly be attributed to the com- pany’s recent focus on smaller ve- hicles like the Chevrolet Aveo and Cobalt, and the Pontiac Pursuit. These tend to sell especially well in Canada where higher taxes cut into discretionary income and fuel is more expensive. A summer promotion that took advantage of soaring gas prices, also helped the company attract customers. In June, GM Canada gave customers a card that en- titled them to 20 cents off each litre of gas up to 2,500 litres for a potential value of $500. “In an environment with high gas prices, these types of incen- tives really drive traffic to the dealerships,” Mr. James said. “It’s something that lets customers see the reward of their purchase every time they go to the pump.” June was also a strong month south of the border, where GM sold a staggering 550,829 vehi- cles, for an increase of 46.9 per cent. This spike came on the heels of the company’s new “Employee Discount for Everyone” program, which offers consumers the same discount that GM employees re- ceive, plus any other rebates. The June figures bring GM Can- ada sales up 4.5 per cent for the first half of 2005 and give officials hope that the second half of the year will be a good one. In addition to last month’s an- nouncement of 25,000 planned layoffs at GM Corp., the year got off to a rocky start with tempo- rary layoffs at the Oshawa plants, bankruptcy rumours and slow sales in May, which is tradition- ally the biggest selling month of the year for dealers. In contrast, the company also took home prestigious awards for quality and efficiency and is re- porting good consumer response to this year’s new models. “Our portfolio of new vehicles is already gaining momentum with Canadian consumers...” said Mark Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing.

But a spokesman for the striking union says while they will no longer be able to slow down OPG workers trying to get into the plants, those on strike will still be able to provide information pickets. “They like to say they won,” said Brian Robinson, of the striking Soci- ety of Energy Professionals. “But they didn’t get what they wanted. What they wanted was a ban on picketing.” Maintaining the right to hold infor- mation pickets at the plants was im- portant, said the union spokesman. OPG workers “will have to slow down if they want to talk to us,” said Mr. Robinson. About 1,000 Hydro One workers, including engineers and technicians, have been on strike since early June, after rejecting a contract offer that includes wage and benefit decreases for new workers, and increased work hours without increased compensa- tion for existing staffers. Since Hydro One workers often work at or service equipment at OPG’s plants, they have on a number of occasions picketed OPG sites. On June 23, traffic was snarled on surrounding roads, and workers were brought in via helicopter and other means, as striking Hydro One staffers picketed outside OPG’s Darlington Nuclear Plant. Similar pickets have occurred at other OPG sites, prompt- ing OPG to have some essential staff- ers sleep overnight on a number of occasions, at triple pay, in order to ensure plants were able to contin- ue producing electricity. OPG has filed a $50 million statement of claim against the union, to recoup money for items like lost time, overtime, special transportation and electricity output lost. The injunction will enable OPG to ensure staff can get to work on time, said OPG spokesman John Earl. “Our understanding is that this order, while recognizing the legal op- portunities of labour disputes, (says) that they cannot, at our facilities, delay or impede anyone from exiting or entering,” said Mr. Earl. He could not provide an exact number on what the strike against Hydro One has cost OPG. “As the lawsuit is heard, we will be able to show the court the impact it has had,” he said.

Mayor suggests board may need broader look By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering believes continuity on the police services board is the way to help find the best police chief for Durham. Pickering council passed a motion at its June 27 meeting requesting the Province extend or reap- point Les Fisher to the Durham Region Police Services Board. The Prov- ince, through the Public Appointments Secretariat, appoints three of the seven members. “It’s important as we go through the process of looking for a new chief that Mr. Fisher be able to finish the legwork he began on looking for a new chief,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who introduced the mo- tion. Mr. Fisher, who lives in Greenwood, has applied for reappointment. His term expires July 31. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said Mr. Fisher has been a good member, keeping him in- formed of issues that affect Pickering. “To me he has demon- strated he is there for all the right reasons,” he said. “The board would not be well served by losing Mr. Fisher.” Coun. Dickerson said maintaining continuity was not the only reason he was supporting the motion. “(We would also be) m aintaining a first-class mem- ber of the police services board,” he said. Not everyone agreed with the recommenda- tion. “Somebody else coming into the fold who doesn’t have preconceived notions might be a healthy addition to the board,” said Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, adding, “I am certainly not saying to Mr. Fisher that he is not a qualified candidate.” Mayor Dave Ryan, who is one of the regional ap- pointments to the board, agreed Mr. Fisher has been a good member but said he hoped if a motion came forward recommending an appointment to the police board it would have been to help broaden the repre- sentation to better reflect the community. “Which it does not, quite frankly, today... That’s something that needs to be addressed,” he said.

Pickering wants Greenwood man to remain on police services board Dave Ryan PICKERING — Pickering is leading by example when it comes to being eco-friendly. The City recently added a hybrid-electric vehicle to its fleet, which is going to help reduce emissions and fuel consumption. In 2004, council adopted an anti-idling bylaw and over the past year the City had been investigating alterna- tive fuel options. “Traditional fossil fuel ve- hicles release greenhouse gases and produce toxic air emissions; these emissions degrade our environment and contribute to smog and acid rain,” said Chantal Whitaker, co-ordinator of environmental awareness programs. “Besides the ef- fects on the environment, these emissions contribute to health problems like asthma, cancer and other respiratory illnesses.” While at low speeds, such as stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle is powered by the electric motor and at higher speeds the vehicle automati- cally switches to using the gasoline engine. It averages fuel consumption of 7.1 li- tres/100 kilometres in city driving and 7.5 L/100 km in highway driving. Compared to its non-hybrid version, the vehicle should produce 28- per cent less emissions and reduce fuel consumption by 50 per cent. “The City of Pickering is committed to helping protect our environment through a number of effective strategies and initiatives,” said Mayor David Ryan. “Council believes that investing in new and inno- vative technologies such as the hybrid vehicle is a wise investment towards our fu- ture.” Pickering likes hybrid Pickering has added a hybrid-electric vehicle to its fleet, saying it wants to help reduce emissions and fuel consumption.

Polish your r esume in Pickering New initiatives add new ways of helping children By Derek Giberson Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — It’s been 100 years, without any sign of slowing down. The Durham Children’s Aid So- ciety celebrated a century of aiding and protecting children recently at a dinner and presentation at the 420 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force veterans’ club hall. Newspaper clippings and mem- orabilia spanning the years were displayed, highlighting the birth and development of the local branch of the society up until the present. A newspaper article from 1905 related the visit of Rev. James Lediard of Owen Sound, who was the catalyst in the founding of the Oshawa Children’s Aid Society, the progenitor of the Durham CAS. The Durham branch, which is funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, has grown be- yond the original service of taking in orphaned or abused children and is now a leader in Ontario in developing new initiatives. Last year, the Durham branch created the Durham Children’s Aid Foun- dation, an arm of the CAS specifi- cally geared toward raising funds for special programs and needs not covered by the government. “We’re pretty excited about the foundation,” said Blair Walters, past president of the Durham CAS and current president of the new foundation. “It’s been a dream for a little while.” Mr. Walters, who has also been a foster parent to many children who have been assisted by the Durham CAS, explained that the funds raised through the founda- tion would go towards things like special recreation activities, bur- saries, summer camps, and spe- cial medical needs for kids being assisted by the Durham CAS and other similar agencies in Durham. The family access program de- veloped in 1999 sets up meetings between parents and their chil- dren who are in foster care, and is a significant part of the Durham CAS. “Durham is one of the leaders in the family access program,” said Susan Jackson, supervisor of the program and a long-time staff member at the Durham CAS. Fam- ilies in the program meet, and, depending on individual circum- stances, may spend time in a su- pervised visit or may be allowed to go out unsupervised for the day. The level of intervention by the Durham CAS in every situation varies, but the first priority is al- ways the welfare of the children involved. In extreme cases, a child may be moved into foster care, but in many instances, the Dur- ham CAS meets regularly with parents to give guidance. “Some parents don’t have a par- enting context,” said Ms. Jackson, explaining that many parents who have difficulty raising their chil- dren often received poor parent- ing themselves. “We are always looking for more foster parents,” she adds. When there is a shortage, they are re- quired to go to outside, private agencies, which means divert- ing money from their budget that could be better used for front-line protection workers and lining up new foster parents. Part of the success of the Dur- ham CAS is the people who give freely of their time to help. “We have some incredible vol- unteers,” said Susan Sims, the volunteer drive co-ordinator and a 24-year employee of the Dur- ham CAS. Volunteers are needed as tutors, drivers, supervised ac- cess assistants, and for the Special Friends program, where the vol- unteer offers support, mentoring, and encouragement to parents or children.

Durham student honoured by regional small business group Crackdown in Pickering makes big impact By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Last year was a good one for the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS), marked by a decreased crime rate and new administrative initiatives designed to make the service more effective. Chief Kevin McAlpine and Police Services Board Chairman Doug Moffatt were on hand at last week’s regional council meeting, to present the 2004 annual report and outline priorities for the months ahead. According to the chief, Durham’s overall crime rate dropped slightly last year, to 66.6 incidents per 1,000 citizens. Violent crime dropped 1.8 per cent across the region, with the biggest change in Ajax/Pickering where the rate decreased 8.7 per cent. Police officials said this can be partially at- tributed to Project Impact, a joint initiative with To ronto Police that dismantled a gang active in Scarborough and west Durham. “We had 72 people charged with over 600 of- fences, it was a very successful operation,” Chief McAlpine said. “Having that many people off the street is bound to have a noticeable affect.” Last year also saw impaired driving charges drop 8.7 per cent, and property crimes decrease 2.6 per cent across the region. In contrast, the number of motor vehicle col- lisions involving property damage rose 2.7 per cent and 30 people died in collisions, one more than in the previous year. The report also notes that some crimes are increasing in complexity and brazenness. “These ups and downs are all very cyclical in nature; it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what we did right and wrong in any given year,” the chief said. “One of the things that stays the same is that we’re always very busy as the population con- tinues to increase.” In 2004 there were a total of 201,125 calls to police for service, which works out to about 550 per day. In addition to operational successes, Chief McAlpine said the DRPS also benefitted from new administrative measures in 2004. The local service became the first in Ontario to use the “policy governance” model, under which the Police Services Board sets goals for the police and uses regular reports to measure success. “We’re 12 months into the new model, so we’ve gone through one full cycle of reporting. It’s been a different way of doing business, but at the end of the day we see the difference on the streets,” Chief McAlpine said. Other administrative highlights include the new headquarters located in Whitby and the completion of a business plan for 2005-2007. Looking ahead to the rest of 2005, the chief said budget expenditures are on target so far, and listed traffic, gangs, guns and domestic vio- lence as priorities. He added that increasing population, growth in diversity and the rising cost of policing will also pose challenges in the months ahead. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 PAGE 13 P theultimate30minuteworkout forwomenthe ultimate 30 minute workout for women 375 Kingston Rd., Pickering • Rougemount Square (Same plaza as Bruno’s Meat & Reids Dairy) WanttoWant to savetimesave time & money? visitFriendsvisit Friends Super Summer Special See staff for details.

From left, Jaynnie Arauz, Jorge Arauz, and Jillian Pettet work on their techniques. Growth has been quick as volunteers and others jump in AJAX — Fa n tastique! What started out as a club to encourage students in their French studies has evolved into a whole lot more. Karem Allen founded Le Club Francais early this year, but says she received help getting it off the ground. She was looking for out-of-school activities for her son and formed the club hoping there would be like-minded parents with kids in core French or French immersion. Originally, it was a chal- lenge to find enough vol- unteers to get two classes together, but Year 2 prom- ises to hit the ground run- ning later this year. Bilin- gual adults, French Immer- sion high school students and pupils from ESC Saint- Charles-Garnier in Whitby, whom Ms. Allen termed “a mazing,” all came out to help students improve their French on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The first half of the night was for homework help and the second for group activities, such as a story. “We encouraged the helpers and the kids to con- verse in French, and that’s what they were doing,” she says. Ajax Public Library’s main branch donated space for the students and volun- teers to meet, and eventu- ally about 50 kids attended. There was no charge for the program, but near the end of the school year par- ents took up a collection and made a donation to the library. Parents got a lot out of it as well, says Ms. Allen. “The parents were re- ally getting to know each other,” she said. “Most of the kids are bused so the parents really don’t con- nect that much.” The group was such a success that a spelling bee was held in May and a slate of summer story times, en Francais, bien sur, has been set, Tuesdays from Aug. 9-30, 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the library’s main branch. Registration is July 24 to Aug. 7 and open to anyone in Durham. Parents can phone 905-619-6733 and leave their name, phone number and the name of the child. A day camp is planned for the end of August as well. Ms. Allen hopes there’s enough interest to start a club in Pickering. As for the Ajax group, she reports that every one of the volunteers is coming back this fall.

With their extensive lunch and dinner menu, the choices are endless. For starters, you can choose from a number of fantastic ap- petizers (or Antipasti as it appears on the menu) such as Bruschetta, Fennel Sausage, Mussels, Calamari or Smoked Salmon. Or try their homemade Zuppa (soup), Minestrone or their selection of the day. Or dig into one of their delicious thin crust pizzas – my favourite is the Maria. It’s loaded with great toppings like basil pesto, mozzarella, grilled chicken breast, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts and goat cheese. And your pizza is not complete unless you drizzle it with some spicy or sweet virgin olive oil. Now that I have your mouth watering, it will be hard for you to choose just one of these delectable and savoury entrees or pasta dishes. There are over 15 different pasta dishes with four different sauces: tomato sauce, creamy tomato sauce, cream sauce and garlic and extra virgin oil sauce. Looking for something with a little bite? Try the Rigatoni a la Vodka, al dente rigatoni pasta with vodka, pancetta (cured bacon), green onions and a pinch of chili pepper in a creamy tomato sauce. And don’t forget to end your meal with one of their decedent homemade deserts such as a crème caramel or my favourite, tiramisu.

"%!54930!42%!4-%.4#%.42% Sandra Dee’s Furniture Restoration Intensification puts homes, track at property By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The Dunbar- ton High School neighbourhood is home to a high school, a park, a track field, stores and about 1,000 residents. At least that’s how a group of students see the 20-acre property as outlined in a study following the rules of intensification. Designing a community was just one of the projects a Grade 11 class completed as part of the Community Links and Field Stud- ies program offered at the school. Students modelled the neigh- bourhood after Cornell, which is in Markham, where they went on a field trip. The community is pedestrian friendly and features mixed-used housing, as well as residential and commercial com- ponents. “It was just so amazing,” said Michelle Lee. “It was everything we had read about and they had done it.” Te acher David Gordon said he encouraged the students to design a neighbourhood of their own after they talked about the benefits of intensification and in- fill. “Originally we thought a lot of people can fit here but when we did all the calculations we were blown away with home many could actually fit,” said Cy James. Students took the Dunbarton campus and reconfigured it with a three-storey school with un- derground parking, 104 houses (much of them townhouses), a park for children, an outdoor community area, an indoor com- munity area, stores, and two six- storey condo buildings. In total, 452 residential units were added to the site. The course has run for the past two years with students spending three afternoons a week with Mr. Gordon and two at their related co-op placement, such as Friends of the Rouge or the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Project. It is a two-period class. The major project for the stu- dents is doing field work at sev- eral study sites to examine the ef- fects of urban sprawl in Pickering. The class started with nine stu- dents and the seven who made it through recently presented their findings to the community. They studied four sites: Gandi, Urfe, Locust Hill and Boxgrove. The results were inconclusive (the students guessed it was because of the unusual spring weather) but it planted a lasting interest in the environment in the students. “It’s not something that I’ll choose as a career but it’s some- thing that I’ll be passionate about all my life,” said Jessica Sellers. She said she learned a lot about the environment and met a lot of new people through the course. “It really heightened my aware- ness of what’s going on,” she said. Michelle said the course is dif- ferent than anything else she’s taken. “It taught me so much about ac- tion and consequences,” she said, adding she will be on the lookout knowing “that what she does in the future will impact people.” Mr. Gordon said the course is to go ahead next year and hopes to have it recognized by universities in order to attract more students. “It is an exhausting and exciting course to teach,” he said, adding they can always use community support to help with equipment and transportation costs. Pickering teenagers offer new take on high school A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo The Environmental Club at Dunbarton High School offered a completely different vision for the school in a recent pre- sentation. Erin O’Connor, right, and Jessica Sellers used a PowerPoint presentation to make their points. A/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 durhamregion.com This is the first in a three-part series looking at Durham from a whole new perspective. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX — It didn’t feel like I was flying, but the view I got recently of Durham is one normally enjoyed by only the birds. Perched in a tiny basket, 1,000 feet above Scugog I could see the skyline of downtown Toronto to the southwest, Lake Ontario to the south, Lake Scugog to the east, and lush green fields and tracts of forest below me as I enjoyed a hot air balloon ride. The Pilot Insurance balloon was in Ajax for 50th an- niversary celebrations and Ajax Home Week festivities recently. Free tethered balloon rides were available June 18 and 19, as well as raffle tickets that were sold leading up to the weekend. On June 16, Nick White’s name was drawn to win a 45-minute balloon ride for him and a guest. (Money raised went to Herizon House and the St. Paul’s-on-the- hill Food Bank). A representative from the newsroom was invited to tag along and when no one else dared take to the sky, I thought I’d give it a try. I met my pilot Dave Monson in Ajax just after 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. The sky was thick with clouds but forecast- ers weren’t expecting any rain so we were good to go after 24 hours of being on standby. My fellow passengers — Mr. White and his dad Norman White, who lives in Ajax, Robert Hunt, an insurance agent — and I signed the waivers (the only point during the whole experience where I had knots in my stomach) and then hopped in the truck for Manches- ter, near Port Perry. Once we reached our launch point, Mr. Monson and his partner set to work unravelling the massive blue and white balloon. They used a big fan with a jet propeller to fill it with cool air and then the burners were lit to heat the air to make it float. (Those burners make things toasty at 1,000 feet up). The basket was tethered to the truck to prevent the bal- loon from taking off without us. Once it was upright we all climbed in, making for a tight squeeze, and the tether was released and the balloon began to float. It was a very slow, calm ascent. I couldn’t feel any move- ment in the basket, it felt like we were floating. We travelled along at about seven km/h, taking in the beautiful country- side and terrain of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Looking down I could see people swimming in backyard pools, a deer walking through a patch of forest and a herd of cattle resting. At one point a curious helicopter pilot took a fly by to check us out. Unfortunately, the sunset flight wasn’t as picturesque as one might imagine because of the clouds, but balloonists are at the mercy of the weather. After 35 minutes in the air, Mr. Monson spotted a field that looked good for landing (no livestock is key). We bent our knees to prepare for the impact and once again felt the ground beneath us. It was a pretty smooth landing with only a few bumps and the basket stayed upright. The farm- er whose field we landed in and his three kids came out to greet us and watched as the balloon was quickly packed up, just in time to beat some rain. After everything was back in the trailer it was time for a bit of tradition. We each were given a glass of champagne, with the farmer and his family invited to join us in a toast. Mr. Monson told his passengers to kneel with our right knee on the ground facing the direction we landed. He then put a piece of grass on each of our heads and sprinkled them with champagne before saying the balloonist’s prayer, to bring us luck. As we drove back to the meeting point, I was filled with a renewed sense of confidence. Floating 1,000 feet above the Earth in a tiny, crowded basket had been a piece of cake — maybe I was ready for something riskier. Sky diving? Probably not. Hang gliding? Maybe. At any rate, it was an experience I won’t soon forget. Next: Settling in for hang gliding. Floating in the clouds Danielle Milley/ News Advertiser photos Under the direction of pilot Dave Monson, News Advertiser reporter Danielle Milley, inset left, took to the sky in north Durham. She was surprised by how little movement there was in the basket and learned about the customs of the recreational activity, including a post-flight glass of champagne.

Expires July 31/05 Milwork 3x50 FROM OSH One way to avoid costly surprises when decorating, is to remember that colour and light are linked by nature. Every lighting scheme is different and has different effects on paint pigment. According to Dominique Pépin, member of the Color Marketing Group and Senior Brand Manager at Sico Paints, natural light and your selection of indoor lighting sources will have a huge infl uence on the general “mood” created by the colours you’ve chosen. Pépin says colours change according to the characteristics of the space they’re in, so the best way to check the actual output is in the actual space. “Put your samples right on the walls then change the intensity and angles of your lighting; you’ll get a much better idea of the fi nal result.” The three main types of indoor lighting have very different effects on colour. Choosing the right light source will go a long way to helping you achieve the desired effect: Incandescent light, traditional light bulbs create a warm ambiance but they tend to give a slightly yellow cast to your chosen colours. F luorescent light, fl uorescent tubes create a cooler mood so colours will have a greenish or bluish tinge. Halogen lights, new generation of refl ectors and bulbs really light up a room. They also allow you to make your lighting more precise or more diffuse, depending on the room. Further, halogen light is similar to natural light; it’s neutral so it has very little effect on the appearance of colours.

Call 310-CASH Durham laments loss of huge international project By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — After years of lobbying and politicking, the fate of ITER is finally known. According to the website devoted to the proposed multi-billion dollar energy re- search facility, it will be built in Cadarache, near Aix-en-Provence, France. The decision comes after years of wran- gling over where to build the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, for which Clarington was considered one of the final four contenders. But, in 2003, Canada withdrew its bid to host the facil- ity. In recent months, the battle had come down to a fight between the European Union, with its preferred site in France, and Japan. Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who helped lead the Canadian ITER charge, travelling extensively to help bolster the local bid, said he felt Japan never intended to host the site, Instead, he believed the bid was an attempt to ensure Japan had a “prominent position” in terms of sharing the technology. The federal government must take the blame for Canada not winning ITER, said the mayor. “They really missed the boat,” said Mayor Mutton. “They could have had it all.” Now, he said, it’s up to the federal gov- ernment to find a way to get involved, to ensure the potentially energy-generating technology doesn’t pass us by. Much of the science community was in agreement that Clarington offered “techni- cally the best site,” said the mayor. If situ- ated in Clarington, the facility would have been along the shores of Lake Ontario, just east of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. Now, the land once set aside for ITER is being touted by the mayor and others as a potential site for new nuclear generators. “What made us the best site in the world for ITER makes us the best site in Ontario for nuclear new build,” said Mayor Mutton. You win some, you lose some; ITER goes to France A/P PAGE 24 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 durhamregion.com Barbecue The Pickering Annex (Formely Pickering Home & Leisure Centre) (401 & Brock Rd.) 905-426-9007 FREE BBQ ALL DAY LONG... friday july 8 to sunday july 10 FREE AND SUMMER SALE WOMEN’S SHOES...4 PAIRS...ONLY $130 - PLUS FREE HANDBAG!

New location, new time period for Backwoods Players latest ‘whodunit’ By David Stell News Editor PICKERING — The Backwoods Players has taken its show on the road. For the first time since it began performing its annual ‘whodunit’ show, the group is going to be out of its element, away from Pickering Museum Village. Instead, the show takes place at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre, but don’t be concerned the play will suffer from a change of venue. The cast is more than prepared to blow the audi- ence away, says the director. “I’ve never been prouder of a cast in my life,” Barbara Pleva says. “It’s so funny, we really have to restrain ourselves as we’re rehearsing.” This year’s show, ‘Sounds Like Murder’, centres around a murder in the Trianon Ballroom in Chicago in 1946. As in previous shows, the performance features both scripted and improvisational acting with the opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the cast members, who stay in character, during a break in the action. Pleva explains the 10 main per- formers have really done their homework. Because of the dual nature of the play, she says, they’ve “taken their characters to new heights. “Each actor has taken their part and gone away and done their research,” she says. “Between re- hearsals is when they’re doing their work. They’re ready for the chal- lenge.” Pleva has a unique connection to the story, having grown up in Chicago. Her parents still live there and her mother, Josephine Pleva, has acted as historical consultant on the background of the story and even has a picture of herself and a soldier in the Trianon’s ballroom taken in 1946. Her parents plan to come to Pickering for one of the shows. The story, however, comes from the writing team Partners in Crime, which is Katrina Pyke, Tim Ralph and Joe Mahoney. Mahoney devel- oped much of it and came up with the idea for a live radio play inspired by his day job with CBC radio. With the new venue, the writing team was able to write for another time period outside of the 19th century that was the restriction on any play set in the museum village. The play introduces a new ele- ment for the players with the addi- tion of a big band orchestra playing during performances. They’ll be prominent during the audience’s dinner portion of the show and people can dance to the music of the swing era thanks to the 10- piece Brian Rose Little Big Band. The show’s opening perfor- mance is tomorrow, July 9 and it continues July 10, 16 and 17. Each show starts at 5:30 p.m. and in- cludes dinner. Audience members are encouraged to dress in the style of the era, the 1940s, and tickets are $45 each or a table of eight for $320. For more information or to order, call 905-683-8401 The Petticoat Creek Commu- nity Centre is at 470 Kingston Rd., Pickering. Proceeds from the show go towards PMV’s restoration proj- ects. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 8, 2005 PAGE 25 A/P In brief JULY 8, 2005 [ Music ] Guitar lessons go to a new level DURHAM — Beginners and longtime guitar players have a chance to learn and listen to a pro this weekend.

Ongoing at Toronto venues, the festival includes the play ‘Howie the Rookie’, by Mark O’Rowe, with Pick- ering’s Danny Sullivan starring in the one-man show for several perfor- mances. A native of Dublin, Ireland, Sullivan immigrated to Canada in 1987 and moved to Pickering in 1996. He is a veteran stage perform- er, with credits in Toronto, Scarbor- ough and locally with Oshawa Little Theatre. At the Fringe of Toronto Theatre Festival, Sullivan is part of Feral Productions, a Pickering group. It is billed by the festival as “among contemporary theatre classics”. It’s described as a white knuckle ride through the back streets of Dublin that sketches a feud of honour re- garding a scabies-infested mattress and gangland revenge over a pair of Siamese fighting fish. The show is rated for general audience with a warning for explicit language. It’s playing at St. Vladimir’s Theatre, 620 Spadina Ave. and started Wednesday. Shows continue on July 9, 7:30 p.m. July 10, 1:45 p.m. July 11, 5 p.m. July 12, 8:30 p.m. July 14, 10:30 p.m. and July 16, 1:45 p.m. The show is 90 minutes long and tickets are $8 at the door, $10 in ad- vance.

The series, which gets underway Saturday night at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex at 8 p.m., features two teams that are the Durham Re- gion representatives in the league. The rivalry, alive and healthy due to the number of players on each side who’ve played for the other in previous seasons, will definitely be in overdrive throughout the series, says Merchants’ coach/GM Steve McCarthy and Rock president Rob Roche. Entering the series, McCarthy says his Merchants are loving the underdog role and the prospects of knocking off the favoured Rock (7- 6-1). The Rock leapt into second place in the league’s East Division over the third-place Merchants (7- 7-0) to earn home-floor advantage in the series after a 7-4 victory over the Owen Sound Woodsmen in Owen Sound in the its final game. “We certainly come in as the underdog. We lost both games to them during the regular season, but we’re confident and prepared to go far into the playoffs this year,” says McCarthy, whose team hasn’t played for the past 10 days. “Our team doesn’t have a great deal of impressive resumes, but we’ve managed to play the underdog role really well. The games we’ve lost we’ve been in every game. We’re a pretty disciplined team; we work hard and there’s no quit in them. “There’s a lot of familiar- ity among the players and a lot of pride at stake,” adds McCarthy. Roche, while he believes the Rock can win, says its a series that could require all five games in order to settle the issue. “Both sides are up for it. There are a number of ex-players on both teams. It’s the battle of Durham Region, so it’s always fierce com- petition. It’s a best-of-five series and it could go to five games. We know they’re going to give us a fight,” says Roche. While McCarthy acknowledges Ajax-Pickering could have the edge offensively, with National La- crosse League pros Jim Veltman and Jason Crosbie leading the way, he believes defence and goaltend- ing could be the factors that give the series to the Merchants. “We’ve got a good goaltending duo of Mike ‘Bud’ Wye and Scott Wylie and they’ve been getting good goaltending from Jay (Pre- ece). We need to counter that with the same quality of goaltending, if not better. We tend not to score a lot of goals, but if we have good goaltending and defence we’ll have an opportunity to win.” The Rock possess a veritable smorgasbord of former Merchants players, including Kevin Taylor, DJ Cox, Dave Power, Mark Craig, newcomer Jerod Bilich and Frank Littlejohn, who’ll join the Rock for the playoffs after being out for the entire regular season with a wrist injury.

Bodnar entered into rest on Friday, July 1, in Oshawa. He coached the Generals from 1971-1976, and in his first season with the club, captured the Matt Leyden Trophy for Ontario Hockey League’s Coach of the Year. Bodnar achieved coaching success before and after his time with the Generals. He led the Toronto Marlboros to a Memorial Cup Champion- ship in 1967-68 and in 1977- 78 he was behind the bench of the bronze medal Cana- dian World Junior team. Prior to his coaching ca- reer, Bodnar played 12 years in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Black- hawks and Boston Bruins. He was a proud member of the 1945 and 1947 Maple Leafs Stanley Cup winning teams before moving to Chi- cago. In 1995, he was honoured locally with his induction into the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame. Bodnar is survived by his wife Etta, daughters Bonnie, Carolyn, Andrea and Cheryl and son Greg. Leah 905-922-6002 In Calls Prices Slashed!

The powerhouse Toronto Maple Leafs were rude visi- tors to Kinsmen Stadium on Wednesday night as they handed the Dodgers an embarrassing 17-7 loss, the team’s third in a row. Scott Robinson was on the mound for the home side and got hit early and often. When it was all said and done, Robinson lasted six innings, gave up nine runs — five earned — on 10 hits dropping his record to 1-4. Ken Calway continued to swing a big bat hitting his second home run in as many games, this one a three-run shot, while Dar- ryl Reid continued to add to his impressive hit totals with two more singles. Most of the Dodgers are off this weekend for the all- star festivities, but one who isn’t is Brad McConnachie. The second basemen was named to the starting line- up for Saturday’s game in Guelph. The Dodgers next see action on Tuesday, July 12 and will hope to halt their three game losing streak on the road against the Hamil- ton Thunderbirds.

Convoy Cup in Whitby July 17 Ceremony honours those who perished crossing the Atlantic during Second World War DURHAM — The Whitby Yacht Club will host the Convoy Cup on Sunday, July 17. The Convoy Cup, which honours merchant seamen and their escorts who braved hostile waters from Halifax to Britain during the Second World War, will also pay tribute to the 2,667 crew members who set sail across the North Atlantic, but never saw land again. “We are very excited and proud to host this community event. It is the first time in local history that any formal recogni- tion has been given for the crucial con- tribution and significant sacrifice made by merchant sailors during the Second World War. Without their efforts, Europe could not have been liberated,” event committee member Martin Hunt said. This 2005 Convoy Cup will include a veteran march past the Whitby Yacht Club facilities — at the foot of Gordon Street, just south of Brock and Victoria streets in Whitby — followed by a sail of boats, including the tall ship Empire Sandy and the HMCS Ajax. Musical entertainment, food and re- freshments will also be available. It will also mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, and Cana- da’s Year of the Veteran.
