Durham Regional Police charged the men on Tuesday with the kill- ing of Shawn Douse, the 35-year-old man whose body was discovered in a forested area near the Durham- Yo rk boundary line in December 2005. Police believe that Mr. Douse was beaten to death inside the home of former Bandido prospect Jamie Franz in Keswick sometime between Dec. 6 and 8, and that his body was then transported to Pickering where the accused attempted to set his remains on fire. Durham Regional Police have ar- rested 25-year-old Cameron Acorn of Keswick, 24-year-old Pierre Ara- gon of Oakville, and 35-year-old Randolph Brown of Jackson’s Point. All three are charged with second- degree murder; two of the accused also face charges of interference with human remains. The three men appeared sepa- rately Wednesday afternoon where the judge ordered them detained and forbid any contact between the accused except through counsel. Mr. Acorn and Mr. Brown were already in police custody at the time the charges were laid. Mr. Aragon was arrested Tuesday. All three will appear, either through video confer- Police make arrests in grisly murder Cameras installed in restaurant ceiling By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Four men have been charged after Durham police busted what they’re describing as a large- scale counterfeit operation that tar- geted debit card users at a Pickering restaurant. Hundreds of blank plastic smart cards, skimming equipment and a number of pinhole cameras were seized as a result of the investigation by fraud officers, who set up sur- veillance after receiving information about the scam Monday.

A fourth man, 26-year-old Robert “Bobby” Quinn, is also charged with second degree murder in the same case and a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest. It is believed that the Keswick resident is cur- rently in the Nelson, British Co- lumbia area. Police Chief Vern White said he expects Mr. Quinn to either turn himself in or be arrested quickly. “I don’t think that he will be out there very long,” he said in an interview following a press con- ference to announce the arrests. The arrests wrap up a six- month long investigation into the brutal death of Mr. Douse, which led police from the rural Pickering site where his battered body was found to the home of Mr. Franz who had been found murdered in a biker massacre near Shedden, Ontario in April. Despite the connection, Chief White said that police do not be- lieve the death of Mr. Douse was directly linked to the slaying of those eight bikers. Police said the motive behind the murder of Mr. Douse was retaliation, but would not com- ment as to the specifics other than that drugs, specifically co- caine, were involved. Durham Regional Police worked with the OPP and York Regional Police on the investigation. “We are proud of the success of this investigation,” Chief White said, praising all police services for their co-operation. durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 23, 2006 ✦ Police from page 1 Police issue arrest warrant for fourth man Randolph Brown Bobby Quinn Robert Acorn Pierre Aragon AJAX LOCATION ONLY For More Information Contact: ALEX’S CD WORLD 905-728-5369 or www.alexscdworld.com Oshawa Legion - 471 Simcoe St. S.

We can no longer take electricity for granted. And with hot summer days already here, every saved kilowatt counts as our power generators produce the extra electricity we need to keep Ontario cool. When you take off for cottage country this summer, don’t leave energy conservation behind! Many of the energy-saving ideas that have worked around your home will work just as well at the cottage. Cottage Tips for Using Energy Wisely • Keeping screens clean and in good repair will allow you to open windows wide to catch those cooling cross-breezes. • Ceiling fans are also an energy-efficient way to be comfortable on hot days. • If your cottage has a clothes dryer, save it for colder days and use an outdoor line to get that “fresh air” feel in your clothing. • Use compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) instead of incandescent lights. • Purchase “ENERGY STAR®” rated equip- ment and appliances. • Use solar panels for hot water or electricity, if possible. • While barbecuing is generally the cooking method of choice at the cottage, the less you use your oven, the more energy you’ll save. Use a microwave oven whenever possible. • Older fridge models can be real kilowatt guzzlers. A new fridge can run on as little as half the electricity of a ten year old unit. But new or old, when it’s not in use, unplug it! • On a rainy day, spend some time caulking and weather-stripping your cottage. It will help to keep cool air in...and insects out. Peter Love Chief Energy Conservation Officer of Ontario THE CONSERVATION ZONE EVERY KILOWATTS COUNTS – EVEN AT THE COTTAGE! You can start saving energy at home while you are away with a programmable thermostat that sets back your air conditioning when you leave for the cottage and bumps in back up when you’re on the way home. Ta ke advantage of the Conservation Bureau’s Cool Savings Rebate program that offers up to a $75 rebate on a contractor-installed programmable thermostat.

CAVE was cre- ated last fall by members of Pick- ering council to take a proactive approach to the growing problem of youth violence in not only Pick- ering, but also ev- erywhere in the GTA. A Nov. 29 forum attract- ed more than 100 people, including many who came forward to volunteer their time to sit on various com- mittees to help with the initiative. Several members of the subcommittees came to update councillors recent- ly on what they’ve been doing. Ja net McPherson, vice- chairwoman of the youth at-risk action group, said it developed a work plan with four areas that in- cludes both short- and long-term goals because it doesn’t want CAVE to be a Band-Aid solution; they want it to be a permanent, proactive approach to pre- venting problems before they begin or get worse. “We want to do something in the commu- nity that will make the City of Pickering a truly supportive community for all youth,” she said. Kata- lin McLean is chairwoman of the busi- ness communication ac- tion group. She said it is issuing a challenge to businesses to create 70 jobs for youth in the community. As well, it plans on doing a survey they will circulate to all youth. “So we can get a good understanding of what’s happening on our streets,” she said. It also wants to have a CD-ROM with videos and information that can be distributed. “We’re working very hard to make sure this is a successful group,” Ms. McLean said. Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner is co-chairman of CAVE. “You truly proved that community engagement can make a difference in the community,” he told the representatives. Lew Golding, chairman of the youth at-risk group, said members feel they have a model with CAVE that could be used by other municipalities that want to start a similar initiative. Councillors thought that was a good idea. “I don’t think we recog- nized the enormity of what we were doing,” said Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson, the other co- chairman.

Nearly 22,000 kilometres later, Mr. Robin, 32, a professional firefighter, cy- cled into Durham Region on the final leg of his tour, which already has touched 14 countries in three continents -- Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and South America -- having raised approximately $176,000. On the weekend, Mr. Robin and his fiancee, Laurie Vuillermet, 28, who joined the journey in Australia, were greeted in Pickering by city firefighters. The Tour de Chloe is named after Mr. Robin’s best friend’s five-year-old daughter, Chloe Levielle, who has west syndrome, a rare and serious form of epilepsy. Compared with other forms of epi- lepsy, west syndrome is difficult to treat. Chloe endures daily spasms, and special equipment and treatment not covered by insurance costs upward of $21,000 per year. Mr. Robin said he took a two year sabbatical in August 2004 to raise enough money to cover Chloe’s medical treat- ment for the next 10 years. Since then, he has been riding from firehouse-to-fire- house around the world. “It’s my job,” he said in a heavy French accent. “I’m a firefighter. It’s my job to help other people, and when my best friend said we need a lot of money for Chloe, I said: ‘OK, we go and raise money.’” Mr. Robin and Ms. Vuillermet are each using a recumbent bicycle, which places the rider in a seated, laid back position. Some days Mr. Robin has travelled 20 kilometres, while others he has biked 180 kilometres. He said the hardest part of his trip was the first year, when he had to bike through Europe without his fiancee in the dead of winter. Meanwhile, in Argentina, temperatures peaked at 51 C. “Sometimes it’s hard with the weath- er... a lot rain a lot of snow... but all the time we think it’s for Chloe,” he said. The two cyclists wrap up their journey in Quebec on July 23. For more informa- tion, go to www.tour-chloe.org.

Durham Regional Police said citizens chased down a suspect after the senior was roughed up in a purse-snatching near West Shore Boulevard and Bayly Street around 7:45 p.m. As police ar- rived they found some people tending to the victim when an- other four civilians marched up and delivered a suspect to of- ficers. The 71-year-old Pickering woman said she was approached by a woman on a bicycle who asked for a quarter to use the phone. When the senior offered her cellphone the suspect re- fused, then reached out to grab her purse. The victim was knocked to the ground and dragged as she struggled to hold onto the purse, police said. As the attack unfolded a number of people intervened, scaring off and chas- ing the suspect. They caught the woman and escorted her back to the scene as police arrived. The senior was treated at hospital for minor injuries and released. Kathleen Maynard, 32, of Sanok Drive in Pickering, is charged with robbery and assault causing bodily harm. Citizens step in as senior assaulted on Pickering street EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR N umbers prove ride was worth it Durham Region Transit may not have been embraced by all when it first hit the road last year but recent figures prove the effort was worth it. Bus ridership in Durham Region jumped by more than 185,000 trips in the first quarter of 2006 over the same period a year before, figures show. In the first quarter of 2005, about 1.76 million trips were taken on municipally-operated public transit services. Under the banner of Durham Region Transit, those numbers jumped to almost 1.95 million, proving the move to a regionally operated transit system was well worth the effort. Most of this year’s increase came from DRT East, which covers Oshawa and Clarington. DRT general manager Ted Galinis attributed the rise in ridership to more students using the service from UOIT and Durham College. While the ridership numbers themselves are good news, when you consider the fare increase that was implemented it’s even more impressive. Typically, raising the fee reduces ridership by three to six per cent, so a gain of 10.5 per cent proves the passengers are there and willing to pay for the service. Of course DRT shouldn’t expect this result every year and must consider that students, like seniors, are on fixed incomes and can least afford any significant increases at the fare box in the future. Once the enrolments at UOIT and Dur- ham level out, so too should student ridership on the buses. Now that the summer months are upon us it should be interesting to watch DRT ridership numbers in the second quarter of 2006. Take away a lot of the students and let’s see how many permanent residents are using the new system. We suspect the numbers should be better under the DRT banner than what was in place before by virtue of the fact that the new transit system serves areas in north Durham that did not have transit before. It’s been a long road travelled getting the DRT system implemented and these initial results are promising. But DRT must continue to improve so these numbers continue to rise. We know it’s a journey worth taking. Error does not make 15-year employee bad To the editor: Re: ‘Bus driver fired after leaving students alone in parking lot’, June 9. Like everyone who read this article I was shocked at what happened to three of the special-needs students. It must have been very difficult for everyone concerned. I am not downplaying the importance of what happened but I feel that terminating the employment of a 15-year em- ployee, in good standing, was a bit harsh. This is not a bad person who purposely tried to hurt any- one but a normal hard-working lady who, while working in the capacity that was not her normal job, made a terrible mistake. Most of us are given second chances and warnings without losing our livelihoods over our first careless action. She is not a threat to anyone as some criminal would be and could have been kept in the office, as was her main job, and still been a valuable asset to the company and those who relied on her. I do not know the person I am writing about but know that lives and careers are made by people with compassionate loving hearts who make decisions knowing that they are just as human and imperfect as we are.

That’s an extremely optimistic way of viewing the Province’s final Places to Grow plan, released June 16. It is supposed to be the answer to reducing sprawl and in turn saving what precious farmland the GTA has remain- ing through requirements for munici- palities to have more intensive develop- ments and designating growth areas that must meet minimum people and-or job densities. Pickering is one of only two municipalities in Durham to receive the designation. It is an ambitious plan that brings op- timism to those of us who don’t believe the crescents and cul-de-sacs of subur- bia with row after row of single-family homes and not one, not two, but usually three cars in the driveway make for an attractive place to call home. As someone who has never lived in a home that was not attached to another, I don’t know what I’m missing by not having my own little piece of property and no common walls. Despite this, I’m pretty sure I’d take farmland and fewer smog days over a 15-by-15-foot backyard and having to drive everywhere. The challenge for the Province and the municipalities that have to implement the plan is that most people don’t think this way. The Province needs to sell the idea that building higher-density neigh- bourhoods, which doesn’t necessarily mean looming high-rise towers and lots of concrete, means enough people to support transit, which in turn means less congestion on roads, and that leads to less pollution and that means less smog. And, more importantly, the Province must work with developers to encour- age innovative higher-density designs that are attractive. We need communi- ties with a mix of semi-detached homes, low-rise buildings, townhouses and the occasional mid-level tower that include greenspaces for people to relax and play. And once developers buy into it and create attractive, higher-density designs maybe the people will come around. It’s not going to be easy. It’s easier and cheaper to clear a farmer’s field, service it and plant a single-family-home-domi- nated subdivision compared to reclaim- ing a brownfield site. But, what does the status quo end up costing us in the long run? Our environment, our time with our families as we commute an hour each way to work and our ability to grow local food. I know I’m willing to pay a little extra for those things. Are you? Danielle Milley’s column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@durhamregion.com.

They also concealed a pinhole camera in the ceiling that recorded victims as they entered the PIN number to make purchases, said Detec- tive Constable Jeff Caplan. But police broke up the scam -- which they estimate ran for up to three weeks -- before the information could be used to create new debit and credit cards, he said. “O ne major bank had 350 cards compromised,” he said. “The losses could have been in the millions.” Two men were arrested early Wednesday after cops watched them as they alleg- edly attempted to retrieve equipment from the restau- rant. The men were observed climbing a ladder and reach- ing into ceiling tiles, police said. An employee of the shop let the men in around 2:30 a.m. and is considered an ac- complice, Det.-Const. Caplan said. Two Ajax men -- Prakala- than Sabaratnam, 25, of Un- sworth Crescent and Ashogan Ve lupillai, 27, of Shale Drive -- were arrested at the res- taurant for attempted fraud, conspiracy to commit an in- dictable offence, break and enter with intent, and other charges. Later in the day Wednes- day cops executed a search warrant at a home on Un- sworth Crescent in Ajax and recovered blank cards as well as five pinhole cameras, in- struments for reading and writing credit card data, com- puter hard drives and thou- sands of credit and debit card numbers. They also seized cash and a fake Canadian citizenship card. Tharmenthiya Prathapan, 25, and 32-year-old Pratha- pan Sabaratnam, both of Un- sworth Crescent, are charged with possession of instru- ments used in forging credit cards. After police became aware of the operation they alerted the bank that supplied the debit card machine to pre- vent any losses to legitimate card holders. ✦ Losses from page 1 Losses ‘could have been in the millions’ NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION FORUMS SOUTHEAST COLLECTOR TRUNK SEWER INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Affecting land in Markham, Toronto and Pickering The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) and the Regional Municipality of Durham (Durham Regi on) will hold two Public Information Forums (PIFs) as follows to allow interested persons to comment on the initial component s of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Environmental Assessment (EA): Date Tuesday, June 27, 2006 Time: 6:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Presentation at 7:00 p.m. Location: Herongate Barn Theatre 2885 Altona Rd.

Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS), Neighbour- hood Watch and Pickering Fire Services were three of the many organizations offering presentations and displays at the event. In honour of this year’s focus, the DRPS tackled the issue of the physical and psychological effects of bullying. Along with the presen- tations and displays, there were also many fun and in- teractive activities for chil- dren to participate in that would help them better ap- preciate the tips they were learning. After speaking with some of the kids it appears that the sing-along, with Juno award nominee Mary Lam- bert, was one of the most exciting activities. The kids were able to join in the in- teractive performance and some even got to get up on stage. The energetic perfor- mance covered a wide va- riety of safety skills rang- ing from fire safety to boat safety. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner helped organize the event and said the day provided a great chance for parents and children to meet the peo- ple that provide the servic- es that keep our children safe. Mr. Brenner believes that there is a common miscon- ception in society that it is only the responsibility of the government or the po- lice to keep children safe. “In reality all of us have the shared responsibility to take care of our most valu- able people and that’s our young people.” Safe ty is a team effort for community organizations Andrew Norman/ News Advertiser photo Leah Mendonca, five, throws a hoop on an obstacle course event held during the Pickering Community Safety Day in Picker- ing last Saturday. 342%%43 $2)6%7!93 '!2!'%3 %6%29 0,!#% 9/52 #!2 '/%3 9/5 2 !)2 #/.$)4)/.%2 )3 3/ 5.#//, "RING YOUR OLD ROOM AIR CONDITIONER TO 4HE (OME $EPOT /LD INEF½CIENT ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS ARE UNCOOL 3O BRING US YOUR OLD ROOM !# UNIT AND WE´LL GIVE YOU A GIFT CARD TO USE ON ANYTHING IN THE STORE (OW COOL IS THAT 7(%. 7(%2% &ROM AM PM THE WEEKENDS OF *UNE AND &OR MORE INFO VISIT KEEPCOOLCA 4HE (OME $EPOT +INGSTON 2OAD %AST !JAX 7E ´LL GIVE YOU A COOL GIFT CARD ,IMIT OF GIFT CARDS PER HOUSEHOLD Other Bell products available in stores: Bell Shark Liver Oil #51 Money-back guarantee.

The event is now in its 60th year and event organizer Ron Bilcox says it gets bigger every year. “We try to expand our rides and add more activities,” he said. “With the mem- bership getting older, we are also gearing our events to a broader range of people.” While this year’s festivities include children’s entertainment like carnival rides, mini golf, and a magic show, there will also be live musical entertainment that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The musical acts include local bands Sourpuss, which features Local 222 member Jim Beelby, and the Lincol- naires, which features CAW retiree Frank Surette. Originally held in 1947, the picnic began as a 10-year anniversary celebra- tion for Local 222, which was chartered on March 2, 1937. It grew into an annual event for the 22,000 workers represented by the CAW unit. Between 5,000 and 6,000 people are expected to attend the event, coming from 16 different work- places.

The Local Health Integration Network, which covers from Scar- borough to Northumberland and north to Haliburton, is hosting a day-long event Monday, June 26 in Oshawa that is the beginning of the chronic disease prevention and management network. Health-care providers, com- munity leaders, health-care con- sumers and community residents from across the Central East LHIN will gather and begin creating the network that will provide expert advice on chronic disease issues and priorities. The network is to work with local advisory teams in nine planning and engagement zones across the LHIN to provide input into an in- tegrated health services plan that will guide health-care planning and the delivery of services across the LHIN for the next three years. Chronic diseases include such things as arthritis and diabetes. A Canadian Community Health Survey, released by Statistics Can- ada on June 13, illustrates why it is important for health-care provid- ers and community members to be talking about chronic disease prevention and management. The survey shows one in six people (aged 12 and older) living in Cen- tral East communities have arthri- tis or rheumatism. One in six peo- ple (aged 12 and older) have high blood pressure, one in 20 people have diabetes and one in 10 have asthma. Chronic diseases such as diabe- tes, heart disease and arthritis af- fect thousands of people who live in the Central East communities. Almost 65 per cent of all Ontar- ians over the age of 12 have one chronic disease. As individuals age, the numbers increase, with 79 per cent of those older than 45 having a chronic disease, and 92 per cent of those older than 65 having one. The prevention and management of chronic disease is a provincial health-care priority. The day-long event is open to anyone who registers. It is at the To sca Banquet Hall, 800 Champ- lain Ave. For more information or to reg- ister, visit www.centraleastlhin. on.ca or call the Central East LHIN office at 905-427-5497 or 1-866- 804-5446. 139 50 % 19 Sport Shirts 109 29 WELL MADE.

For 2006, the cost of various parcels of land to be acquired totals $1,230,000, with the cost shared between Durham, the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, and the Ecological Land Acquisition Program. J.R. Powell, chief administrative offi- cer of CLOCA, appeared before commit- tee on June 14 to make the request.

For Example: Did you know that OHIP will not cover an air ambulance and that the average cost of this service from the West Coast to Ontario can cost up to $10,000?

This year’s carnival takes place Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25 starting at 10 a.m. at Cullen Park, formerly the site of Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village, at 300 Taunton Rd. E. With the success of ticket sales from the Great Little Duck Race, the Town provides free activi- ties at the carnival every year. In fact, the family-orientated event is largely free, with no cost for admission and parking. The ma- jority of the children’s activities are also free, with the exception of a few games. An estimated 15,000 are ex- pected to attend the event, which this year will have a pirate theme. Kids are encouraged to come to the carnival dressed as pirates, and take part in the interactive games and storytelling that will play on this theme, said Council- lor Shirley Scott, chairwoman of the Town’s carnival committee. “I’m trying to make it fun for the kids; something different,” Coun. Scott said. “There will be all kind of novelties for sale: hooks, pirate swords, eye patch- es, pirate hats.” A pirate cove with hidden sand treasures will also be set up for kids, including hair braiding to play up the Caribbean theme, Coun. Scott added. “It should be an exciting fun family day that families can come and enjoy without spending a lot of money. Our expectations are that it should be a wonderful venue for a County Town Car- nival because of the park atmo- sphere,” she said. On Saturday, the carnival will end at 9 p.m., and be followed by a Movie in the Park showing of ‘Treasure Island’ until 11 p.m. On Sunday, June 25, the carnival will end at 5 p.m. However, with limited avail- able parking, residents are en- couraged to use public transpor- tation to get to the park. Staff are also looking at organizing possible shuttle bus service from the Town’s Operations Centre at Brock and Taunton roads to Cullen Park, said Steve Edwards, Whitby manager of parks, ma- rina, long-range planning and special events. “Wherever possible, take pub- lic transit from your home or some other public site where you are able to park. Secondly, if you’re early, I think you can try parking at the site,” Mr. Edwards said. “It’s fair to say this is a brand new venue for us, and there’s going to be a learning curve with it. Not just in terms of traffic and parking, but everything. With the big shift from downtown to (Cul- len Park), obviously we have to try our best to anticipate things,” he added. To wn staff said moving the carnival to a more confined space, such as Cullen Park will help avoid costs associated with heavy policing and security, and reduce the need to close streets in downtown Whitby, as was cus- tomary in past when the two-day event was held downtown. A budget of $18,700 has been allocated toward the carnival. Other activities over the course of the weekend include a petting zoo, craft area, rock climbing, basketball, musical entertain- ment featuring local bands and youth, and a Birds of Prey show.

Speaking to the To ronto Board of Trade last week, Mr. Hankinson reiterated OPG’s long-held stance that Darlington is the place for new nuclear reactors to be built. ‘We believe that the best site in the province is at the Darlington nuclear station...’ JIM HANKINSON “We believe that the best site in the province is at the Darlington nuclear station for these reasons: there’s room to build on the site, and it is well-served by the transmission system; Darlington has a strong, positive and supportive relationship with its host community of Clarington, and OPG works hard to maintain this relationship; Darlington has been the best-perform- ing multi-unit C ANDU sta- tion in Canada for the past two years; and, OPG employees are highly skilled, experienced, and up to the task of oper- ating additional units,” said Mr. Hankinson in his speech. The remarks came on the heels of an announcement by the Province last Tues- day, which, among other things, called on OPG to “begin a federal approvals process, including an en- vironmental assessment, for new units at an existing (nuclear) facility,” said a news release. But, though OPG has been clear in its prefer- ence for the Darlington site, OPG spokesman John Earl was quick to point out that the Province, through the Ontario Power Author- ity (OPA), would have the final say. Mr. Hankinson’s com- ments simply indicate that “O PG believes Darlington is a good site, and that the site is readily available, but that’s not a decision OPG will be making,” said Mr. Earl. “We believe that the Darlington site is well-po- sitioned for another nucle- ar site, but the OPA will make that decision.” Still, Clarington’s mayor said he’s “99.9 per cent sure” the OPG-owned land next to the existing Dar- lington facility will be cho- sen for new reactors. “Everyone I’ve been talking to in the industry, from suppliers of nuclear reactors to people in the regulatory agency to peo- ple at OPG (say) basically, it’s Darlington, because transmission capability is the key factor,” said Mayor Mu tton. “I’m 99.9 per cent sure it’s coming here, and so are the trade unions and people in the industry,” he said. “I’ve heard everyone’s ramping up in the expecta- tion that it’s going to be here. There are no bets to hedge here.” S E T S Serta Plush Tw in............... $53995* Full................. $62995* Queen............ $69995* King...............$104995* PERFECT SLEEPER Serta Euro Top Tw in............... $83995* Full................. $91995* Queen............ $99995* King...............$129995* PERFECT SLEEPER ‘Masterbedrooms’ Is More Than Just The BEST Sleep Selection!‘Masterbedrooms’ Is More Than Just The BEST Sleep Selection!

All your community information is on our news cast each day at durhamregion.com Congress of Black Women offers workshops, scholarships and more for community By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering chapter of the Congress of Black Women has been helping women and children in the community for more than a decade. The national group formed as an organization in 1980 at its confer- ence in Winnipeg. Today there are 12 chapters in Ontario, including Ajax- Pickering. The mandate of the organization is to look after housing and employ- ment needs. “We help women and their chil- dren,” said Gwen Pottinger, past- president, events co-ordinator and community liaison for the local chap- ter. The chapter started by helping w ith Black History Month events and has since evolved to giving out scholarships and sending a child to summer camp yearly. It also has an active parent group, which deals with giving parenting advice and teaching parenting skills, as well as removing barriers for talking to teachers and principals. Ms. Pottinger said the parent group is a big focus for the chapter. “There are a lot of little things we need to do with our kids to change the way they’re perceived right now,” she said. The Congress of Black Women also holds workshops and talks about women’s health, youth and the law, and other topics of interest to its members. The local club currently has 16 members. The scholarship program is also a big part of the organization. The local chapter has been doing it since the beginning and this year four young people who demonstrated a need each received $500. While need is the biggest criteria, Ms. Pottinger said they must also submit an essay, participate in an interview, and have been accepted to either a university or college. “Being a teacher I am interested in kids and their progress,” said Ms. Pot- tinger, a retired high school educator. “When the kids make an attempt to improve themselves or their educa- tion, we are solidly behind them.” Shenae Bailey, a Grade 12 stu- dent at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, is one of this year’s recipi- ents. She heard about the scholarship from a teacher at her school who is a member of the congress. She out- lined her many extracurricular ac- tivities and community involvement in her essay, including work on the Mothers Against Drunk Driving com- mittee and as a retreat leader. “It makes me feel good to know I’m giving back to my community... I just enjoy helping out any way I can at my school,” she said, adding she wants to be a positive role model for black youth at her school. She plans to attend the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in September to study biology with the intention of becoming an obstetri- cian. The recipients were announced at the chapter’s annual scholarship brunch on Sunday, June 11. Celebrate the opening of our new store and save money on your new appliances.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 23, 2006 PAGE 27 A/Pdurhamregion.com ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Musician brothers James Gregory, left, and Patrick Dune are enjoying working in the latter’s new home studio. Pickering singer’s upcoming album a home project Dune, Gregory cutting tracks in new home studio; ready to share expertise By Mike Ruta News Editor PICKERING — From his days as a teenager, to the big-hair era that was the 1980s, through Grunge and to the present day, music has been a constant in Patrick Dune’s life. Raised in Pickering, the singer- songwriter-guitarist’s first show was at the Annandale Golf and Country Club, where as a very nervous 15- year-old he played some of the origi- nal songs that would later appear on ‘Time is a Luxury’, The Keep’s first album, released in 1984. Two years later, the band, which in- cluded Dune’s brother, James Grego- ry, on bass, released ‘The Sands of Time’. By then, The Keep was playing with the top Canadian artists of the day. “We played every major event,” Dune recalls at his Pickering home. “Back then there was Larry’s Hide- away, the El Mo(cambo), which was in its heyday, and the Copa, a huge place.” In the late 1980s, The Keep toured Canada, performing with acts such as The Spoons, Toronto, Teenage Head, Corey Hart and Bryan Adams. Dune, looking to do something dif- ferent, decided to disband The Keep in the early 1990s. He formed DuneTunes Publishing and started doing studio work and jingles, including ‘First to Care First to Share’ for Mount Sinai Hospital. About two years ago, Dune released a four-song EP, ‘Let Love Reign’. “This was my first break off as a solo artist,” he says. “It’s done very well for me, espe- cially a couple of the singles off it.” Within two months, it was No. 1 on the independent music charts in the United Kingdom, where it remained for two or three weeks. It was at Number 38 at last check. “I’m first and foremost a song- wr iter,” says Dune, who is working on a new record. Three of the tracks are finished, including ‘Clouds of Grey’. “This may be the title track, I haven’t made up my mind yet,” he says. Dune’s recording life is a lot easier now that he has converted his base- ment into a cosy, yet hi-tech and professional, recording studio. In this he is partners with brother Gregory, whom Dune says “has been a big part of what I’ve been doing for many years” and is producing his record. The two had talked before of hav- ing their own studio, but the idea became reality when Dune began budgeting what it would cost to put out his album. Beyond the simple re- cording of the music, which involves pricey studio time, there’s musicians to hire, artwork to have created and much more. “It just kind of struck me that to put out a full record, it would proba- bly cost $25,000 to $30,000,” he says. “That’s only if you’re prepared in the studio,” Gregory notes. “You’ve really got to have your stuff together, because time is money.” As a result, Dune decided that instead of putting the money into the record, he would use it to build a studio, a place that would give the brothers “a future to build on.” The result, DuneTunes Recording, “built by musicians and artists for musicians and artists,” had its grand opening recently. Dune and Gregory don’t want it to be a place where the artist is aware the clock is ticking and doesn’t feel comfortable. “If you’re under pressure, you’re not going to put out your best effort,” Dune says. Instead, they want to help local artists shine, noting that there is a great deal of talent in the area. If eight hours of studio time turns into nine, they’re not going to rush an art- ist out the door. And, drawing on their extensive experience, the brothers are also there to help an artist with a song, or a part of a song, if required and desired. Dune describes his sound as “pop contemporary,” noting bands today “want to sound like someone else” instead of forging a unique identity. He is also pitching a few tunes he wrote for an upcoming movie, ‘Weirdsville’, and remains a mentor with the School Alliance of Student Songwriters (SASS) program that began in Durham schools. Dune expects his album to be re- leased late this summer.

Rated: PG-13 After staying up all night to work, a tired Michael (Sandler) becomes frustrated because he can’t figure out which remote turns on the TV. He sets out to find the perfect device to run all of his electronic equip- ment and stumbles into a Bed, Bath and Beyond, where an eccentric employee, Morty (Walken), gives him an experimental one-of-a-kind gadget guaranteed to change his life. Soon Michael is turning on every appliance with the click of a button. But the device has stranger func- tions. It can somehow muffle the barking of the family dog and fast forward through an annoying quar- rel with his wife. Michael is fascinated, and freaked out, by his new toy and decides to again visit Morty, who tells Michael he gave him exactly what he asked for -- a universal remote that lets him control his universe. Morty then demonstrates the device’s incredible advanced features, including a func- tion that lets Michael travel back and forth through his life at different speeds. Michael quickly becomes ad- dicted to this new power rush, but soon the remote is programming him. And, a panicked Michael can’t stop the device from deciding which events of his life he’ll experience and which ones he’ll miss. Wa ist Deep Directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall Starring: Game, Tyrese Gibson and Paul Terrel Clayton. Rated: R Ex-con O2 (Gibson) is suddenly plunged into a life-or-death situa- tion. Trying to go straight for the sake of his young son, Junior, O2 is forced to go back outside the law when Junior is kidnapped in a carjacking. His son is in the hands of a vicious criminal leader, Meat (Game). O2 turns for help to the wily street-smart hustler Coco. With the clock ticking, the heat between them rises as they become a lawbreaking couple, on an action-packed tear through town to save Junior and outwit the under- world. ‘Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man’ and ‘Two Drifters’ are also in the- atres this weekend.

It wasn’t flashy, nor was the Rock (5-3-1 for 11 points, tied for third overall) able to break out of a scoring funk that’s plagued them of late, but they did man- age to tough out a much-needed 5-3 victory after going winless in their last four Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ league contests. The victory, says Rock head coach Paul St. John, was all about playing good defence, especial- ly in the third period when the Shamrocks could only manage one goal on Ajax starting goal- tender Pat Campbell. “We’re still struggling to put the ball in the net, so obviously we’ve come to the conclusion that defence has to win games for us, and it definitely did on Friday,” says St. John. “There’s no one player you can single out, it was the whole (defensive) unit. We needed a good team effort and we got it.” The teams played to a 2-2 draw through the opening 20 minutes. The Rock broke it open with a three-goal second period to take a 5-2 lead into the third stanza. Mark Craig, the Rock’s leading scorer, sparked the team with a two-goal game. Chris Parkin, Jim Velt- m an and Mike Daley added a goal apiece. Al- though the Rock will take the win, St. John says the players are nonetheless concerned about their inability to score on a consistent basis, with the team averaging less than seven goals a game over the last five contests. “I think they’re a little frus- trated, and they should be. Some of these guys average two goals a game, so I sense some frus- tration. But the most important thing was winning the game. “We talked after Friday’s game and we had a team function on Saturday night and we had a chance to talk there and they all believe that the goals are going to come if we keep playing the type of defence we’re playing.” The Rock have a chance to put together a mini three-game winning streak as they come up against two sub-.500 teams this weekend, with both games on home floor. On Friday night, the Rock play a re-match against the Shamrocks (3-5-1) at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex at 8:30 p.m. On Saturday evening, the St. Clair Storm (2-10-0) are at the complex for a 7 p.m. tilt. The Rock have five games re- maining in the regular-season schedule, four at home (Ennis- more June 23, July 7; St. Clair June 24 and Brooklin June 30) and one on the road (Mohawk, July 8). A.J.

Paul St. John Dolphins blank Brantford Bisons Ajax-Pickering football peewees keep undefeated streak intact DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins peewee squad earned its second consecutive shutout victory and fourth straight victo- ry of the Allstar Peewee Football League season on Saturday. The first-place Dolphins trav- elled to Brantford to meet the Bisons, returning home with a decisive 35-0 victory over the previously undefeated Brantford squad. The Dolphins scored touch- downs on their first two pos- sessions. Wide receiver Kurlan Cadet gained 12 yards for the first score on a well-run sweep. On the Dolphins’ second pos- session, Dillon Campbell gal- loped 45 yards for the major to give the Dolphins a 14-point lead going into the second quarter. Later in the half, Campbell ran the ball into the end zone from the one-yard line for his second touchdown of the game. The touchdown was set up by a 20- yard catch-and-run play by Kyle Wasson. The Dolphins’ defence came up with another stellar perfor- mance, shutting out the competi- tion for the second week in a row. Early in the second half, Dexter Damboise scooped up a Brant- ford fumble and, with the help of excellent blocking from his de- fensive teammates, was able to run it back from half to score the Dolphins’ first defensive touch- down of the season. Quarterback Jeff McIlravey en- gineered a textbook double re- verse resulting in Matt Townsend running in the final touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Dam- boise ran in a two-point con- version to seal the deal for the Dolphins. The Dolphins’ peewees meet the York Raiders at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park on Sunday at 4 p.m. PICKERING — Ian Mayne of Pickering, a senior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV First Team for cross- country and track in an announce- ment re- leased earlier this month by the Col- lege Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). A pre-med student at UTC, Mayne was the Southern Con- ference runner-of-the-year after claiming the conference cross- country title, earning a spot in the NCAA championships. He was the indoor 5,000-metre champion with a time of 14:48.42. He also had the SoCon’s top time in the 10,000 me- tres during the outdoor season. The Academic All-America teams program honours 816 male and female student-athletes annu- ally who have succeeded at the highest level on the playing field and in the classroom. Individu- als are selected through voting by CoSIDA, a 2,000-member organi- zation consisting of sports public relations professionals for colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada.

Pickering’s Guerrieri set to ride high in Mazda Star series First start is at F1 stop in Montreal this weekend PICKERING — A Pickering race car driver’s career is in high gear after mov- ing to a new series this summer. After finishing third in the National Formula Ford 2000 Cooper Tire Series in 2005, Chris Guerrieri is off to Formula Star Mazda. These 300-horsepower formula cars will be racing during the Montreal For- mula 1 weekend June 25 on a track where Guerrieri has proven his winning style. Finishing first at the famed Gilles Vil- leneuve Circuit in 2002 in his For- mula Ford 1600, he returned to Montreal in 2003 during his cam- paign to capture the Formula Ford 1600 Canadian championship title. With the 2003 FF1600 Canadi- an championship and the 2005 FF2000 third-place finish to his credit, team owner Gerry Kraut of JDC Motorsports in Lakeville, Minnesota retained Guer- rieri for the remaining eight races of the 2006 season. Guerrieri will race the Star Mazda in Ontario on the Sept. 2 and 3 long week- end at Mosport, a track he has won at many times. With so much good fortune at the Montreal track in previous years, Guer- rieri is looking forward to heading to La Belle Province once again. “It is a well-run series with great expo- sure to both major sponsors and many higher level racing teams that I hope to drive for in the future. I am very familiar with this event, as I have previously won it before in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship. I am confident that this year I will have the formula to be very successful in a world forum,” he says. “I’m quite surprised Chris was avail- able to drive for my team,” adds Kraut. “I watched him last season at every race and he is a driver with considerable talent. I look forward to a great partner- ship this season.” To find out more about Guerrieri, visit www. chrisguerrieri.com. To find out more about the Star Mazda Series go to www.starmazda.com. Chris Guerrieri DURHAM — The Durham West Lightning girls’ atom tier 1 hockey team is holding a fundraising car wash and barbecue in Pickering to- morrow (Saturday). The event is at Boyer Pontiac- Buick, 715 Kingston Rd. (at Whites Road) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds help the team defray costs during the 2006-07 season. The rain date is Sunday, June 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Active Green and Ross outlet at the Picker- ing Town Centre (by Sears). Lightning atoms host fundraising car wash, barbecue Saturday Joseph continues solid hoops play at Global Games PICKERING — Pickering guard Devoe Joseph provided another dominating performance to lead the Canadian junior basketball team to victory over the U.S. at the Global Games in Dallas. Joseph paced the Canadians for the second game in a row, tallying 21 points with six rebounds, five assists and four steals in a 68-66 win Tuesday. Canada played the Ukraine on Thurs- day, with the result unavailable at press time. The Canadians opened the game scoring 15 first-quarter points, taking the early lead. The 15-14 first-quarter lead was due to Canada’s precise shooting and aggressiveness on the boards. The U.S. battled hard in the second quarter, taking a slim 36-35 lead into the locker room. The teams were evenly matched, with Joseph’s 14 points leading both teams at the half. After the break, Canada tightened its defence and capitalized on every chance offensively, slowly turning the game in its favour. A few key blocks allowed the Canadians to hold the Americans to 10 points in the quarter while scoring 12 to take a 47-46 lead. In the final quarter, Canada executed well on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball to hold its lead and secure the victory.

Following the team trials at the championships at the Eto- bicoke Olympium pool, Julia Maclean was named to Cana- da’s 13-to-15-year-old nation- al team. Maclean was ranked third out of the top nine ath- letes in Canada chosen for the team. Maclean is one of seven new members of the 2006 national 13-15 team. The 13-15 pro- gram is in its second year of preparing athletes for the high performance and international levels of synchronized swim- ming. Maclean will join the Cana- dian team for an international meet in Mexico City in Au- gust. Durham Synchro’s Carrie Mouck also qualified for team trials, placing 20th. The Durham club’s three Tier 6 15-and-under athletes (Maclean, Brianna MacLen- nan, Mouck) also competed at the Espoir Championships in figures, duet and solo events, and achieved outstanding re- sults. In figures, Maclean captured the bronze medal out of a field of 188 competitors. Mouck finished 23rd and MacLennan was 35th. In solo, Maclean placed fourth in the finals out of 24 competitors. Maclean and Mouck teamed up in the duet event and earned a silver medal in a field of 24 teams. The Espoir championships concludes a highly successful season for Durham Synchro’s eight Tier 7 junior and Tier 6 15-and-under national-level athletes. Three of these swim- mers (Katie LePage, Maclean, Chelsey Matthews) have also been named to the 2007 Cana- da Games team, and will travel with the team to San Jose, Cali- fornia in early July to train with the Santa Clara Aquamaids. Durham Synchro is one of the largest synchronized swimming clubs in Ontario. Visit www.durhamsynchro. com for information about recreational, competitive and masters programs in Durham Region.

This is the first time in the event’s 60- year history that Durham will host the event, scheduled for March 21-24, 2007. “The hockey championships are one of the most high profile and prestigious events on the OFSAA calendar,” said Josh French, chairman of the OFSAA 2007 championships and a coach at Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa. “We are both proud and excited to be hosting the championships, and are committed to delivering an event that will bring hon- our and distinction to our region.” Forty teams, champions of every high school athletic association in Ontario at both the AAA and A/AA level, will attend the championships. The four-day event is expected to draw more than 1,200 par- ticipants to Durham. “It’s an honour for Durham Region to be hosting this exciting event for the first time,” said Durham Regional Chair Roger Anderson. “This is a great opportunity to showcase the amenities, recreational facilities and attractions in Durham Re- gion and we encourage the athletes and their families to take advantage of them during their stay.” Durham has been home to one of the strongest and most competitive high school hockey leagues in Ontario and four local teams -- two at AAA and two at A/AA -- will be vying for OFSAA gold medals. All games will be played in Whit- by at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre and McKinney Centre. “The OFSAA hockey championships will give us an opportunity to assert our- selves as a thriving and leading sup- porter of youth hockey and all of the benefits on and off the ice that are part of it,” French explained. “An event such as this will have far-reaching benefits for the whole region. We look forward to the local community supporting us in this venture.” Provincial hockey championships coming to Durham Play It Again wins again DURHAM — The Oshawa Play It Again Sports Redwings men’s team captured the Adult Safe Hockey League Canadian Championship in British Columbia. Made up of players from throughout Durham Region, Oshawa defeated Brit- ish Columbia 8-2 to open the tourna- ment and followed it up with wins of 9-1 over Saskatchewan and 7-0 over Mani- toba. Oshawa then advanced to the final to face Saskatchewan and defeated them 8-4 to capture the A division over-35 championship. Scott McCrory led the way with six goals and six assists, while Brad Wad- sworth fired home nine goals to go along with two helpers. Other scorers for the Redwings were Chris Dreossi (5g, 6a), Tom St. James (5g, 5a), George Servinis (1g, 6a), Terry Richards (3g, 1a), Nick Servinis (1g, 3a), Greg Latin (1g, 2a), Bill Terry (1g, 2a), Mark Laniel (5a), Jim Luciuk (4a), Kirk McNamee (2a) and Greg Vey (1a). Troy Levine played solid in goal and earned the shutout. This is the third time the team has won a national title. www. I’m into music that creates a point of view.
