$545 million budget includes boost to block budgets By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — More teachers and money for individual schools is offered in the public school board’s 2006/07 budget. At its Aug. 30 meeting, Durham District School Board trustees passed a balanced operating budget of $545 million in addition to a $69 mil- lion capital budget. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra, chairman of the finance committee, said the 2006/2007 budget is about kids and fiscal re- sponsibility. Featuring an extra $20 million in funding from the ministry of education, the budget includes: about 79 more elementary staff to help reduce primary class sizes and improve prep time; about 11 more staff for the sec- ondary school student success initiative; compensation adjust- ments; three custodial positions and a budget increase for casual custodial staff; and more money for school block budgets. “It’s not a fortune, but it’s a be- ginning,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau, referring to the additional $380,000 for school block budgets, allotted to indi- vidual schools to address local needs. “This was something I felt very passionate about at the begin- ning of the year and I know it was a bit of a hard sell,” said Trustee Croteau. S he said it helps recognize the need for money and she thanked others at the board for support- ing the increase. Other budget additions include a facilitator to support program inclusion for self-con- tained classrooms in special education, funded through re- serves, and a new north Oshawa high school, plus an addition to Pickering High School, funded through the capital portion of the budget.

Effective Sept. 1 Durham Region Transit (DRT) stu- dent fares will increase by 20 cents a ride. Durham Re- gional Council approved the increase on Nov. 30, 2005, ac- cording to DRT’s deputy gen- eral manager, Phil Meagher. “We were trying to har- monize the fares across the Region,” Mr. Meagher ex- plained. “At the time, Oshawa was charging $2 and Ajax- Pickering was $1.85.” In addition, there hadn’t been an increase in student fares for some time, he said. “So, we brought them all to one level and staged the student fare increase,” Mr. Meagher said. “Originally, the recommendation was to go to $2.25 in January, but council felt that would be too much of a hardship on stu- dents so they staged it over two stages.” He said the increase was communicated to students and schools when the hike was approved. DRT will honour old stu- dent transit tickets with 20- cent cash top up from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30 on DRT buses. However, the top-up option is not available on GO Transit buses. Durham College, Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and Trent students at UOIT will be unaffected by the increase as the fare is covered through their U-pass. The U-pass is part of the student ID card and its cost is built into their tuition, Mr. Meagher said. From Sept. 30, 2006 until Dec. 31, 2006, customers may exchange old student tickets with cash top up by visiting one of the following loca- tions: - DRT Centre, main floor reception 605 Rossland Rd. East, Whitby, Monday to Fri- day 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. - DRT East, 710 Raleigh Ave., Oshawa, Monday to Fri- day 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. - DRT West, 110 Westney Rd., South, Ajax Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. - United Way Star Assist Information Kiosk, Oshawa Centre, Oshawa, Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m. – 9:00 p.m., Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., Sunday 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. All other DRT fares remain the same. $499 Warm Tuscan olive bread with fresh basil, Capocollo, ham, Genoa salami, Provolone cheese and roasted red peppers Plus applicable taxes. *Marque de commerce de Petro-Canada - Trademark Kingston Rd.&BrockRd. beside the Petro-Canada station on the southeast corner Limited time!

The City of Pickering and the To ronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority’s Frenchman’s Bay Project are looking for peo- ple willing to roll up their sleeves and participate in the Pickering community shoreline clean up event in celebration of the TD Canada Trust Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up on Saturday, Sept. 23. The annual event, which began in 1994, attracts almost 35,000 volunteers across the country to help clean up their community’s shorelines. The Pickering event will see volunteers cleaning up Pine Creek in Forestbrook Park. Volunteers should meet at the south side of Glendale Plaza parking lot, which is located at the southwest corner of Finch Av enue and Dixie Road, for the 10 a.m. start. The event runs until noon and takes place rain or shine. “Unfortunately a lot of dump- ing and litter accumulation hap- pens in our natural areas and valleylands. This cleanup is a chance for residents to help one of these problem areas. In doing so, we not only improve the immediate area around Pine Creek, but we also help protect the health of downstream eco- systems in Frenchman’s Bay and Lake Ontario,” said Steve Joudrey, stewardship assistant for the TRCA’s Frenchman’s Bay Project. As well as the community event, many groups have reg- istered to do their own clean ups, such as the 5th Pickering Ve nturers, Navy League Cadets Corps Exeter and the Royal Ca- nadian Sea Cadet Corps Har- wood. “This community shoreline event is a chance for residents, families and students not in- volved with one of these other groups to also help. It is a great way for students to earn their community volunteer hours too,” said Chantal Whitaker, Pickering’s co-ordinator of envi- ronmental awareness programs. The City of Pickering is sup- plying the gloves, bags, water and snacks and at the end will dispose of the waste. For more information or to register, call the Frenchman’s Bay Project at 905-420-4660 ext. 2212. Although the budget included more money, some trustees were an- noyed at how late fund- ing was received. The lateness caused the board to hold pub- lic consultation ses- sions in the summer to pass its budget on time for the Aug. 31, provincially imposed deadline. “I’m thrilled with the extra money, I’m not thrilled with the tim- ing,” said Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford. Trustee Dolstra said the board asked the ministry if it could have more time to submit its budget, But the Durham board was told no and that there would be a penalty if they didn’t get it in on time. “I’m a little disap- pointed because I see there’s an extension for the Toronto board,” said Trustee Dolstra. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler agreed. She said it’s frustrat- ing to see Durham’s neighbouring board always getting off the hook for deadlines. At the same time, Trustee Shetler said Durham is fiscally re- sponsible year after year and threatened Trustees note Toronto board had longer on budget Shoreline clean up in Pickering ✦ Trustees from page 1 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Be aware on the roads out there A small army of young people will be hitting the streets Tuesday, and drivers need to be extra cautious I t’s been a long summer. And, after more than two months of cruising through school zones while most facilities sat vacant, it’s time for a quick course in driver education. Thousands of children, beginning bright and early Tues- day morning, will be heading back to school. That means they’ll be crossing busy streets, and, kids being kids, that also means they will sometimes go on roads when they shouldn’t. Ultimately, drivers must be extra cautious, especially near school zones. You really never do know when you will have to come to a sudden and complete stop. Pay attention to the road and obey the posted speed limits near school zones. That makes it a little easier to slam on the brakes if the need arises. Don’t forget there will be a convoy of school buses on our roads too. No matter from what direction you approach a school bus, you absolutely must stop when its flashers are lit up. Children could be coming from any direction to get on or off the bus, and a few seconds spent waiting until the flash- ers turn off could literally make the difference between life and death. Make sure you pay close attention. Such caution also extends to going in and out of drive- ways, checking repeatedly in both directions -- especially to your right when making a right-hand turn -- when mak- ing turns at intersections (watch for pedestrians, there are many more young people crossing streets); making sure you don’t try to beat amber or even red lights. It also means giving pedestrians the right of way when making turns on green lights when the walk sign is flash- ing. Driving at this time of year also means taking extra care when you drop off your kids at school, especially if you are lined up behind other vehicles. Make an extra effort to look in all directions. You never know when a small child could be right behind or right in front of your car. Above all, don’t rush. The little bit of extra time you spend to take care is all that’s needed and it could save a young life. Be sure about your surroundings and be aware out there. After Labour Day, it all changes. Make sure you’re as ready for school-year driving as your kids will be for their first day back in class. Freeze green bin materials until pickup day To the Editor: For the naysayers, the green bin will only be inconve- nient until we get used to it. What price is too high as we strive to save this planet for our children and grandchildren? Until pickup day, we keep a compostable bag in the door of our fridge’s freezer, adding to it as necessary, and put dry compostables such as tissues, paper towels, etc., in the small kitchen catcher.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 1, 2006 durhamregion.com A lot of people live for summer and all its glorious sunshine, heat and vacation time. Not me. Call me a summertime naysayer but if environmental changes suddenly left Canada with fall-like conditions for six months of the year and winter for the remaining six months I would be the happiest man on earth. Think of all the advantages such a scenario would present: • Traditional summer vacations could be changed in all offices, schools and companies because there wouldn’t be the intense desire to bolt the city for cottage country each and every weekend from May through Au- gust. • Take away the heat and cottage country traffic every weekend would be drastically reduced. So too would accidents to and from the north. • Spread the bulk of vacations out over half the year and offices wouldn’t be left short-staffed and stressed for two and a half months of the year. • Modified school years could be made more mainstream across the school boards. The heat and humidity traditionally make summer vacation the perfect time to be off but take away the weather and what would prevent kids from being in class in August and adopting a new school schedule? • Let’s not forget the smog- and breathing-related ailments that plague asthmatics and those suffering from allergies. Subtract the summer and breathe easier my friends. Many people’s moods turn dour as the Labour Day weekend approaches. For kids it’s because back to school is just around the corner while parents grumble they’ve got to work another six to eight months before they can enjoy any vacation time again. But I see the Labour Day weekend as the beginning of what I call the perfect season. The humidity usually dissi- pates in September and everyone gets back into a regular routine. You can wear pants or shorts in comfort and as September progresses the colours of fall start to come into full splendour. Perfection. Ye s, summer is finally winding down and I couldn’t be happier. Ian McMillan is a Metroland Dur- ham Region Media Group news editor. His column appears periodically. E-mail him at imcmillan@durhamregion.com. Who needs summer? This is the start of the perfect season Ian McMillan staff editor By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Kathleen Dunlop wants to make sure Pickering stays clean. She watched as a bridge over Pine Creek connecting Bronte Square and Stor- rington Street was cleaned up recently. The area resi- dent is aware of the teen- agers who hang out in the ravine making noise, leaving litter and causing problems. “I’ve been complaining to the City of Pickering because every time I come by here there is garbage. I’ve even seen furniture, bikes and towels,” she said. “I’ve seen beer bottles and a lot of gar- bage that I don’t want to see here because I want to keep Pickering clean.” Ms. Dunlop said she sees groups of teenagers hang- ing out in the area when she takes her dog on a nightly walk, and that they are usu- ally smoking and drinking. That scene contrasts with the group of young people cleaning up the bridge and several other sites in the city. Pickering officials teamed up with the Durham Regional Police Services Youth/Com- munity at Risk Program to clean up graffiti hot spots. “We’ve been partnering with the police on the Eyes on the Street program since the beginning, but this is the first time we’ve done an anti- graffiti initiative,” said Chan- tal Whitaker, the City’s co- ordinator of environmental awareness. The Eyes on the Street program was launched last fall to encourage residents and City staff to report all incidences of graffiti and il- legal dumping. Graffiti is photographed and reported to police so they can identify if it is gang tagging. The area under the 30- year-old bridge was littered with cigarette wrappers and other garbage and the concrete footing was smat- tered with indistinguishable graffiti. It was last cleaned up last week. Mrs. Whitaker said this scene was better than some of the areas staff see around the city. “We do see areas that are a lot worse than this, unfor- tunately,” she said, adding this graffiti wasn’t profane or hate-related like some graf- fiti they’ve seen recently. Police Chief Vernon White was also on hand and said the youth in the program not only were helping cleanup graffiti, but have also been useful in helping the police identify graffiti. “They were helpful in identifying to us which groups were prevalent in what areas and they were able to tell us what some of the symbols meant,” he said. In recent years these is- sues have increased. “We’re seeing a rise in tagging in the last couple of years and we’re seeing a rise in gang activity,” Chief White said. “Most people think graffiti is kids playing around and some of it is, but a lot of it is gangs marking their territory. It’s important for residents to understand what it means.” Alex Del Ducha is one of the five Pine Ridge Second- ary School students in the program. Alex knows of peo- ple who do things such as graffiti and he doesn’t un- derstand why. “It’s a waste of time be- cause people are just going to clean it up...There’s really no point in doing this kind of stuff,” he said.

Q. Why does the Blue Heron stand on one leg. Does his foot hurt? A. Ducks Unlimited and several nature sources describe the blue heron as “tireless” and patient in its hunting. So it seems unlikely it hurts. According to Seattle Audo- bon the reason for its one-legged stance is herons have special patches of powder down feathers they rake with a foot, causing the powder to fall on fish it has caught so slime and oil clumps and can be brushed off.

The Duffin Heights ESP will address the following components needed for development to occur: • Proposed road needs; • Proposed road alignments; • Natural Heritage System (NHS) crossings; •Community Facility needs; and •Development Limits. Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Components of the ESP requiring future approvals under the Environmental Assessment Act will be completed in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of Schedule ʻCʼ of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Roads Projects. Possible methods of implementing the proposed projects will be evaluated based on the effects of the following: • Engineering and Public Safety • Natural Environment •Social/Cultural Environment • Economic Environment ORC Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Ontario Realty Corporation has landholdings within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. These landholdings may be transferred or sold as development occurs within the Neighbourhood. ORC is required to carry out a Category B Environmental Assessment prior to the sale or transfer of their lands. The satisfaction of the requirements of the Municipal Class EA will constitute fulfillment of the requirements of Category B of the Environmental Assessment for the Ontario Realty Corporation for the disposition of their lands within the Duffin Heights Community. This ORC undertaking is limited to lands for which no previous ORC EA has already been conducted. Public Consultation Public input during the planning process of this project is encouraged. Two (2) Public Information Centres will be scheduled over the next year.

The recent activity was held at the Pickering Museum Village by museum summer staff. Jennifer Roberts/ News Advertiser photo While jeans are a mainstay for any wardrobe the styles change. New this year is the skinny jean with a tapered leg to give the look of having longer legs By Peggy Foster Special to the News Advertiser Denim has been a mainstay of ward- robes for decades with styles re-invent- ing themselves periodically to entice new generations. In fall 2006 the “new” style is called skinny jeans, says jeaneologist Sabrina Dean of Bootlegger and Ricki’s at a store east of Ajax and Pickering. “The biggest trend this fall is the skinny jean in dark blue denim with a low rise and tapered leg to give the look of having longer legs,” Ms. Dean says. She wears a pair of size 3 skinny jeans that hug her petite form to perfection. This young woman knows what she’s talking about. “You can wear skinny jeans in the fall and spring with heeled boots and they look great tucked into boots too,” she said. “They come in a darker wash denim and have a smaller back pocket adding to the smaller, sleeker silhouette.” As part of her job, Ms. Dean has studied trends in jean styles, is aware of the latest looks and trains store associates to better serve their jean-buying customers, hence her title of jeaneologist. Sabrina had to try on every pair of jeans in the store when she started studying the product lines carried by the retailer, says store manager Victoria West. As well, Ms. Dean trains by correspon- dence continually to learn what’s in fash- ion in jeans and what’s coming for the following season. “Denim is 40 per cent of our business so Sabrina has taken on a lot of responsibility to learn what’s new and teach it to the rest of us,” Ms. West said. “I’ve always loved buying jeans because you can wear them with heels of running shoes and dress them up or down with different tops,” Ms. Dean said. “When I go home with another new pair of jeans my mother says, ‘You have so many jeans now, why would you need another pair?’ but I just love jeans.” There are hundreds of brands of denim jeans in many different shades of blue and a myriad of styles to fit all body types. According to Ms. West, one of the most popular is a Canadian-designed product called Silver, out of Manitoba. The current Silver style has a contoured waistband to fit snuggly and not gap at the back. Each pair is handmade with attention given to unique detailing such as a whiskering ef- fect at the natural crease at the hip, high- lighting the area to make the new jeans look as if they are old favourites. A pumice stone is used to give a distressed look to the top layer of material over the zipper. Each pair of pants is sandblasted, giving a worn look and softening the material for a better fit. Silver jeans sell for between $75 and $90, Ms. West said. “I’ve had a pair of Silver jeans for five years and they still look new,” Ms. Dean adds. Skinny jeans are the in thing for teens and women this fall but men won’t be going skinny. They will have a slimmer sil- houette when wearing jeans with a slight boot cut style, getting away from the over- sized pants which have been popular for the last few seasons. Knowing how to care for jeans helps keep your favourites around for a long time. After making the purchase, Ms. Dean recommends washing the pants prior to hemming them to avoid problems should the material shrink. She says for best results, machine wash jeans separately inside out in cold water with at least a teaspoon of salt. Hang jeans to dry or place them in a dryer set on air/ fluff without heat. These days most denim jeans are a blend of cotton and lycra or spandex, al- lowing them to stretch with the body giv- ing “a more personal experience” to the wearer, Ms. West said. “We suggest a person try their regular size then go down half to one size if you’re trying on Silver jeans,” she said. “If the jeans are very fitted when you try them on that’s good because they will stretch to be comfortable.” Length in jeans is the key to a great look, she adds, saying, “Buy jeans as long as possible but not touching the floor. If they hug the back of your shoe it makes your legs look longer.” Denim is not only for pants this fall. Those denim mini skirts from the sum- mer move into the fall by adding trendy footless leggings. Long denim skirts with a flare at the bottom are expected to be popular for a wider age group as tempera- tures drop. “You can wear everything with jeans, for daytime or for a night out,” Ms. West says. “The key is the fit and our associates help people find the right jeans. You have to try them on, you can’t just hold them up and look at them on a hanger. “No matter what, try on several pairs of jeans, even if the first pair you try are the ones you want to buy.” If $90 denims are out of your price range, or you want several pairs of jeans to take you through fall and winter, search around for less expensive pants costing $40 to $60, and offering the same level of style, Ms. West said. Jewel-tone colours in tops are popular this fall with midnight turquoise, purple, dark oranges and navy making a come- back. Brown continues to be huge this fall as well. Earth tones and blue are the colours teens and men will be wearing in autumn and through the winter months. Take Liberty’s FREE Tax School and learn how to prepare individual income tax returns.

So far a few of the people who made purchases at the full-service station on Simcoe Street North in mid-June have been made aware of bank accounts or credit cards being compromised, according to Detective Constable Jeff Caplan, an investigator with the Durham Regional Police fraud unit. But there’s no real way of know- ing how many people may be af- fected by the scam. “You look at a busy gas station on a busy street in north Oshawa; you’re probably talking 20, 25 cars an hour,” he said. The suspect, a white man in his 30s or 40s with a thick Russian accent, was hired to work at the gas station in May and, after un- dergoing training, was entrusted to operate it alone in mid June. Police say that for three days -- June 14 to 16 -- the man worked alone at the station and used a de- vice to “double swipe” customers’ credit and debit cards, stealing the information encoded on them. Thieves use the information to manufacture bogus cards to ob- tain cash and merchandise. Such so-called skimming is a growing concern in an age when consum- ers depend less on cash and more on technology, Det. Const. Caplan said. Upon being hired the suspect produced a Social Insurance Number and driver’s licence, both of which appeared legitimate. But the SIN number actually belongs to someone else and the licence -- issued to Sergey Torfi- mov, born March 8, 1967 -- was obtained with false information, Det. Const. Caplan said. “He has what I believe to be a real driver’s licence with a fake name,” he said. The man’s address on Don Mills Road turned out to be a strip mall; the phone numbers he provided his employer are out of service. After working alone at the gas station for three days the suspect disappeared, taking with him sur- veillance tapes. He’s not been seen or heard from since. Investigators are hoping now to track down the mystery man. Det. Const. Caplan believes the suspect probably makes his liv- ing running similar scams, taking employment at gas bars and using opportunities to commit fraud. Anyone who can identify him or provide information relevant to the investigation is asked to call 905-579-1520, ext. 5702.

But at Royal Canadian Legion branches across Durham, volunteers are already in a festive mood as Opera- tion Santa Claus picks up speed. The project, which is overseen by the Canadian Forces Personnel Agen- cy, aims to boost morale by sending Christmas packages to Canadian Forces members stationed overseas. In order to collect, package, screen and ship the gifts in time, volunteers are putting the call out now. “It’s easy Christmas shopping, you can pick most of these items up for about a dollar,” said Cecile Bowers, of Branch 178 in Bowmanville. “It’s a great way to spread some cheer to a service person who is putting their life on the line.” Approved items include: travel size tissue, hand sanitizer, sun block and moisturizer, lip balm, pens and pencils, pocket-size daytimers and calendars, decks of cards and small puzzle books, small packages of hard Werthers can- dies, single serving packets of soup, hot chocolate and tea and small Canadian souvenirs such as key chains and stick- ers. Legion branches all over Canada are working together to gather 3,000 of each item. The public is also being asked to write notes, postcards and Christmas cards to include in each box. These must be left unsealed and without envelopes, so they can be screened by military secu- rity. While all donations are welcome, some individual legion branches are collecting specific items. At Branch 178, tissue and Werthers candies are requested. The public is asked to contact their local legion branch to find out what is being collected there. All gifts and cards must be at the legions by Sept. 21, in order to arrive overseas in time. “We hope people will donate and write cards. It makes a big difference to the service people who are doing the biggest thing they can for us,” Ms. Bow- ers said. “Let’s let them know Canada is behind them.” For more information, contact your local legion branch, or Cecile Bowers of Branch 178 in Bowmanville at 905- 263-2086 or Branch 112 in Whitby at 905-668-0330.

She gushed about seeing Sidney Poitier in the Beverly Hills res- taurant where she and her family were having lunch. “All heads turned, every race, every age. It was like seeing the Pope. It was watching greatness. He’s so classy,” she gushed. Lewis added that she was so ex- cited when she met Stevie Wonder that she “almost lost [her] mind. I love to see legends.” Yo u probably know her as Hazel, the dependable go-to girl on ‘De- grassi: the Next Generation.’ And now you can listen to her debut CD, ‘Float Away,’ on your way to Calgary to catch her first stage per- formance. The Pickering resident is rehearsing for her part in the stage production of ‘Dreamgirls’. Loosely based on the story of the 1960s’ all-girl singing group, The Supremes, Lewis plays Lorrell, the youngest member of the group. ‘Float Away’ is a mix of soul and pop songs. Lewis’ career started when she was two years old. She appeared in commercials and gradually moved on to television and film roles, in- cluding ‘Soul Food’, ‘The Natalie Cole Story’, ’Cadet Kelly’, with Hil- ary Duff, and ‘Down in the Delta’, directed by author Maya Angelou. One of Lewis’ prized treasures is an inscribed copy of Angelou’s book, ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’. Lewis played Hazel for five sea- sons. She’s the first non-First Na- tions actor on the cast of ‘Mocca- sin Flats’, a series on APTN, playing soul singer ‘Melissa’. Lewis said she’s especially pleased because the show features songs from ‘Float Away’. The versatile 21-year-old enter- tainer is just getting started. She hopes to have her own pro- duction company before she’s 30. She is now writing movie scripts and songs for her second CD. Lewis sometimes does celebrity interviews for E-Talk Daily and ET Canada. But, despite her busy schedule, Lewis stays involved in the com- munity. She visits elementary and high schools where she talks with students about setting career paths and being role models. Lewis said she’s just an ordinary girl who likes to spend time with her friends. “When I come home or am not doing anything, we hang out. We do the regular — go to movies, go to restaurants, just the normal stuff,” she said. ‘Dreamgirls’ opens at Stage West in Calgary on Sept. 14 and runs until Nov. 19. Lewis loves living among the stars Submitted photo Af ter a five-year run in the role of Hazel on ‘Degrassi: The Next Generation’, Andrea Lewis has relocated part-time to California to pursue a burgeoning singing career. She’s also on stage in Calgary starring in the production ‘Dreamgirls’, which opens on Sept. 14. Celebration of all things Celtic coming to Durham DURHAM — The kilts will be swirling and the pipes skirling as Oshawa holds its first Celtic festival this month. The Downtown Action Commit- tee is hosting the one-day Oshawa Celtic Festival on Sept. 23, celebrat- ing things Celtic in Memorial Park from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. “It’s really, really exciting for us,” said event chairwoman Marissa Kata at a media launch Wednesday. “We have a vision that it will be a sig- nature event for Oshawa. We want this to be an event to remember.” The day will feature music, sto- rytelling, activities for children, highland dancing and a fire perfor- mance. The headliner is the Fiddlers 3, a family-based, Celtic folk band from Hamilton, named Entertainer of the Ye ar at the Festival Events Ontario Conference in 2006. Fiddlers 3 has played with the likes of Ashley Mc- Isaac, the Chieftains, Teenage Head, the Barra MacNeils, Colin James and Alannah Miles. “Fiddlers 3 are so excited about coming here and performing,” Kata said. “They’ll be performing at 9 p.m. with two sets.” Also on the program are eight other musical groups, most of them local. One is Fraser MacDuff, made up of Stewart Bennett, organizer of the annual Highlands of Durham Games, and C. Ryan Edgar, of Port Perry. Other entertainers include Fresh- water Trade and David Leask. The Oshawa Legion Branch 43 Pipe Band will provide the music for the official opening ceremony at 3 p.m. Kata said Pickering’s Colleen Rintamaki, 10-time world champi- on highland dancer at the juvenile and adult levels, will perform at the event. Fire performer Kalen Davidson will entertain the crowd the night of the festival. Sean the Leprechaun will be on hand and children will be able to take part in painting the Loch Ness monster display and make “yer own wee kilt” at the craft area.

Horwood exited the water in first place, completed the bike race in third place and finished first in the running portion to claim the title. She competed in swimming at the Pickering Swim Club and has run the 1,500 at track meets while represent- ing Eagle Ridge Public School.

Sports briefs SEPTEMBER 1, 2006Pickering driver rolls into Mosport for series race after hurricane scare Guerrieri hopes to take checkered flag on home track By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Pickering driver Chris Guerrieri is happy to be on terra firma and preparing for the next race for his U.S.-based racing team after a brush with Hurricane Ernesto earlier this week. Attempting to return to Can- ada from Palm Beach, Fla. Tues- day night, Guerrieri was anxious that his flight, like several others, would be cancelled in light of Hur- ricane Ernesto (since downgraded to a tropical depression) entering the south Florida area. Luckily, his flight managed to get away in the nick of time. “The weather was beginning to come in before we took off. There was a chance the pilot would bring the plane back. The flight before it and after it was cancelled, but ours ended up taking off,” says a relieved Guerrieri. Guerrieri will pilot his open- wheel race car in the Formula Star Mazda Pro Series, which is part of The Labour Day We ekend Grand Prix of Mosport at the Clar- ington-area track this weekend. Practise ses- sions for the series went yesterday, with qualify- ing today (Friday), and the actual race scheduled for Saturday. The 23-year-old driver says he and his Augusta, New Jersey-based Racers Edge Motorsports team believe the Mosport International Raceway event could be his best chance to get a victory during his rookie season in the ultra-competi- tive series. As one of perhaps very few drivers in the series who’s navi- gated the Mosport track, he believes he has a clear advantage. “ I know the track very, very well,” he explains, adding he’ll have plen- ty of family and friends in the stands for Saturday’s race. “A lot of drivers (in the series) haven’t been here and I have. Given the right con- ditions, the team’s ready and I’m ready. I’m going to go all out and show them who’s boss. I’ve got to show them it’s my home track.” As a driver who’s met with suc- cess in a number of race series over his career, including winning the Canadian Formula Ford Series driv- ers’ title in 2003, Guerrieri notes the Formula Star Mazda Pro Series has been the toughest and most com- petitive one to date. “It’s a development series for the Indy Car and Champ Car Series and all the drivers from around the world go to this series. It’s prob- ably the most competitive open- wheel series, including Champ and Indy Car. The calibre of drivers is so good that from P1 (first place) to P10 (10th place) is less than three- tenths of a second,” he says. “If you can drive good in this series you can drive good in any series.” And, thus far in the series, Guer- rieri has suffered his share of grow- ing pains. Racing in five of the se- ries’ nine stops to date, he’s cur- rently 25th in the points standings. His best result thus far was an 11th place outing at the event at the Utah Grand Prix in July. Some of those growing pains, ac- knowledges Guerrieri, are a result of his relative inexperience as a rookie in the series. Mostly, though, me- chanical troubles, specifically those with the engine, have proved frus- trating for Guerrieri and his team. “A ll the way through the year we’ve had some mechanical issues. Apart from the mechanical issues the traffic has (also) given us a hard time,” he says. “The positive aspect for all the team is that I know when the car is right and when I’m driving right we have a winning combination. All those things are beginning to come together.” Fa r from being discouraged, Guerrieri says he’s trying to learn everything he can, despite the frus- trating season, and hopes to come back stronger and more experi- enced for the 2007 Formula Star Mazda Pro Series season. “Although it’s been a bit frustrat- ing, it gives me the training I need to better my craft. Before (in previous racing series) 10 of the 30 drivers were pro quality. In this series, there are no slow drivers. They’re all very good and world-class drivers.” Following the Mosport race, the racing series has two stops remain- ing: Road Atlanta on Sept. 29 and 30 and winds up at Leguna-Seca speedway in Monterey, California on Oct. 21 and 22. Submitted photo Chris Guerrieri is hoping for a good result in the Formula Star Mazda Pro Series stop at Mosport International Race- way this weekend. The Pickering driver is a rookie in the race series that has attracted drivers from around the world.
