Insurance concerns stall six-year-old’s ability ro raise dollars for Sick Kid’s Hospital By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Each day, six-year- old Gabriel Gilbert wakes up, anx- ious to set up his lemonade stand and raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children. But, he has yet to sell a single cup. “I’m waiting for the day that I can sell my lemonade,” Gabriel said. “But my mom and dad say I can’t yet.” What Gabriel doesn’t under- stand is it isn’t his mom and dad who won’t let him set up his stand, but local businesses and even the Town of Ajax that say insurance and liability prohibit permitting the lemonade stand on their prop- erty. “I am very proud of the idea and that he wanted to do this,” said Adam Gilbert, Gabriel’s dad. “It is just unfortunate the way the world works today. He just wants to sell his lemonade.” It all began a few months ago when Gabriel saw a Sunkist com- mercial for its “Take a Stand” cam- paign. Kids, between the ages of seven and 12 who wanted to raise money for a charity could sign up to have the company send them a lemonade stand. Gabriel told his parents he wanted to raise money for Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. A family friend had died there last summer and Gabriel said he wanted to help the people who had tried to help his friend. They signed up on the Internet and Gabriel was one of 5,000 chil- dren in North America who got a lemonade stand. “It was great when I got it,” Ga- briel said. “I just couldn’t wait.” The Gilberts completed the necessary paperwork, received accreditation from Sick Kids and then started looking for a place to put the stand. “A lemonade stand on Tawn Crescent (where they live) isn’t going to do much good,” Mr. Gil- bert said. “It’s a quiet street, we don’t get any through traffic.” So, Mr. Gilbert called the Town of Ajax to ask if Gabriel could sell his lemonade at the McLean Com- 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

Pickering takes a sustainability trip PICKERING — A City councillor says he’s more curious than excited about an upcoming sustainability trip. “What I’m most curious about is what someone else is doing that we’re not doing,” Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Doug Dickerson said in an in- terview. Pickering has been chosen as one of 25 municipalities to participate in the Federation of Canadian Mu- nicipalities’ (FCM) Community En- ergy Planning Mission to Alberta, and is the only one attending from the Greater Toronto Area.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 27, 2007 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com ‘We absolutely loved it. It’s disappointing’ By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Thieves have left the Matthews family high and dry. Sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. on Tuesday, the Ajax family’s new boat was stolen from their driveway. “It’s brand new. We had it two weeks,” Sandi Matthews says. The $27,000 boat was on a trailer and the thieves took both from the Miles Drive home. It had been se- cured to the property with a chain and lock, but the thieves used bolt cutters. It was a 20-foot, 2007 Tahoe Sport, with a 4.3-litre Mercury motor. She noted her son came home at 12:10 a.m. and the boat was in the driveway. When their neighbour came out at 6 a.m., it was gone. “Funny enough, the insurance agent said it’s been 12 years since someone has brazenly taken something like that right off the property,” Ms. Matthews states, adding it’s the first boat the Mat- thews have owned and had only been out on it twice. “We absolutely loved it. It’s dis- appointing, because the kids really loved it,” she says. “We were out as much as we could in the couple of weeks we had it.” The boat was insured, but Ms. Matthews notes, “We can’t get a new one now. It will be eight weeks to get a new one. That will be September and it will be time to store it. “They’ve done a good job of tak- ing away a family’s one boat,” she says. “Material things can be replaced. You work so hard for something when someone gets it for nothing. It’s pretty frustrating.” She noted a neighbour’s car had been broken into recently and some electronics taken. “It’s not comforting to know these things are going on in the neighbourhood. It’s bold for some- one to drive up and steal a 20-foot boat. I hope that’s not a sign of where the whole community is going,” Ms. Matthews says. The police were called and the family was told there was little chance of seeing the boat re- turned. She notes the thieves had a six- hour head-start, so the boat “could be way up north. “The people knew what they were doing. Police said they were probably watching to see our standard routine,” Ms. Matthews states.

Sandi and Chris Matthews, with their son Aaron and grandson Eric, say the boat was taken some time after midnight and before 6 a.m. ‘It’s not comforting to know these things are going on in the neighbourhood.

But, Mr. Gilbert said he was told issues of insurance and liability prohibit his son from setting up there. Derek Hannan, manager of bylaw services, explained the Town has a parks bylaw in place that states no one can beg or solicit for any purpose, nor can they offer goods for sale in any park. The bylaw is standard throughout all Town lands, he said. “We have to have some con- trol in place on who is entering the park,” Mr. Hannan said. “I don’t think the bylaw is intend- ed to stop a six year old from selling lemonade for charity, but we have lots of charities that want in there.” Charities can gain permis- sion to set up in the park, but only through a permitting pro- cess, which requires a certain level of insurance naming the Town as an additional insured. Meanwhile, Mr. Gilbert has contacted a number of local businesses in the hopes some- one will agree to let them set their lemonade stand up, all to no avail. He said either he doesn’t hear back from the business owner or he is told no, again because of insurance issues. So, for now, Mr. Gilbert said he and Gabriel will wait and hopefully hear back from a local business willing to let them set up shop.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 27, 2007 durhamregion.com Time to regulate child-like parents Pickering should implement zero-tolerance policy in sporting events W hen I was a teenager I used to watch my little brother’s house league hockey games. That was until I could no longer listen to hockey par- ents yelling and screaming at their eight- year-old children for missing a pass or shooting the puck wide of the net. And it’s not getting any better. During an under-eight soccer match in Pickering last weekend, a mom and her husband were charged with various assault charges after disagreeing with the 14-year- old ref’s call. After the soccer game ended, the mother berated the ref, punched the girl’s father - allegedly in the face - and dug her nails into an off-duty police officer who stepped in to help. That’s when the hus- band also got involved. On top of it all, the son’s team won the game anyway, but the coach chose to withdraw the team from the tournament. Luckily, the kids were still presented participation trophies because that’s what children’s sports are all about. And, people thought the Under-20 World Cup incident when Chilean players attempted to attack the ref after contro- versial calls was bad. Aren’t youth sports supposed to be fun and for exercise? The City of Pickering supports True Sport, a national movement that celebrates respect, honesty, fair play, discipline, com- mitment, and effort as the core positive values of sport. Now Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, a strong supporter of the movement, hopes to implement a city-wide zero-tolerance policy for sports. Parents and coaches - or anyone at the game - will not be able to curse, fight, yell or throw things, for example. If they do, they will be asked to leave. If they won’t, they’ll possibly be removed by police. Also, those displaying negative behaviour can be banned from all of Pickering’s sporting facilities for up to two years. It’s unfortunate that this type of policy even has to exist, but it’s necessary. Coun. McLean explained 2.2 million children in Canada play organized sports outside of school, but three quarters of them drop out. He believes it’s because sports stop being fun for kids due to feelings of pres- sure and embarrassment from a lot of coaches and parents, and I agree. Getting out on a sports team and playing in front of other children can be nerve- wracking enough for kids. They shouldn’t have to feel the same way around parents, and teenage referees should not be afraid to get involved in what’s supposed to be positive activity for kids. If parents can’t control themselves when it comes to sports, Pickering should. Isn’t it ironic parents have to be regulat- ed for child-like behaviour, not the kids?

Kristen Calis staff writer LETTER TO THE EDITOR Soldiers want to finish the job To the editor: I had the honour of bunking in with our troops from the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry from Edmonton, the 2 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery from Shilo, Man., and the task force from Petawawa of whom 50 per cent plus had completed two tours; 25 per cent plus had completed one tour; one had been to both Iraq and Afghanistan. All others knew the date they would be going. They volunteer to go. I asked them, are we needed over there and are we doing the job, to which they reply, “Of course.” Having got their backs up, the conversation revolved around: their volunteering, their going back again, their willingness to risk their lives again, their excellent job of assisting in rebuild- ing, their providing faith to those willing to rebuild, their gov- ernment and media, not telling the truth about what they are doing and their excellent contribution to their fellow man. Those who have and are serving over there say, “Let us finish the job.” William ”Sam” Magee CD OMC First Special Service Force US-Canada, WW II Drop in Durham food charges encouraging Number of establishments convicted down by 50 per cent When we sit down at any dining establishment, the very least we expect is that the food we put into our mouths will be safe. Quite apart from how it’s served, how good it tastes or how much it costs, those who prepare and sell food for a living have an obligation to make sure they abide by rigorous health stan- dards. The last thing anybody involved wants is an illness caused by improper handling, storage or preparation of food. But to ensure those government-legislated standards are fol- lowed to the letter requires that restaurants face inspections each year to make sure they are complying with the law. Therefore, it comes as good news indeed that, despite exten- sive growth in the food industry throughout Durham, which has seen up to a 10-per cent increase in establishments -- 250 to 300 more according to latest available records -- the number that have violated proper practices is considerably down. Last year, for instance, when the number of food providers was fewer than this year, there were 10 establishments charged with violations from Jan. 1 to June 30. Over the corresponding period this year, the number of estab- lishments convicted dropped in half to five. Those in charge of the inspections believe the negative public- ity attached to such a conviction is enough to increase the level of compliance. Apart from the fines and prohibitions food violators face, in- cluding the possibility of being shut down for serious offences, the negativity in the public mind arising from publicity over charges can be devastating. With so much competition out there for the dine-in and take- out dollar, having a black mark against a restaurant’s name can be extremely costly. That’s why there is so much at stake and why owners of everything from hot dog stands to five-star restaurants must be sure all aspects of their businesses are run in a healthy and sanitary manner. While perfection has yet to be reached, it’s comforting to know that almost any eatery you go to in Durham has met or exceeded the health standards required under the law. And that’s good food for thought. By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com P ICKERING — Last month, Robert McKay decided he’d had enough of Transport Canada and chose to leave his home on the federal airport lands in Pickering. “I won’t have any of that hanging over my head again - them,” he said. “They can’t say anything to me ever again.” A resident on the lands for more than 30 years, Mr. McKay had been fighting an eviction notice from Transport Canada (TC), landlords of the Pickering Lands, for the past three, and gave his notice to vacate at the end of April. “I just got sick and tired of their BS,” he said. “I just wasn’t willing to play their game any more.” He said in the past “they were fine” landlords. But he said that’s because they didn’t really bother him, simply knocking on the door, asking how things are going, then walking away. “Now they do these inspections and they’re finding all these problems and that’s a reason to kick people out,” he said. “That’s all they want, is the land emp- tied.” But Wendy and Gary Beelby, who have also been fighting an eviction notice, haven’t given up yet. “The reason was (for the notice) it was too costly to maintain and upgrade the property, so they wanted to demolish it,” Ms. Beelby said. They have lived in their Brougham home since 1992, and it’s been in her husband’s family since 1953. “It’s my husband’s family’s home,” she said. “They’ve lived there for so long. It’s not just a house; it’s a home. We have roots there.” But from the time she and her husband moved in, they’ve been renting from TC. Ms. Beelby knows a decision won’t be made until 2009 at the earliest and if an airport does go through, the first shovel won’t hit the ground until 2012. “Until it’s done why don’t they just look after the place and let people be?” she said. Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland has been asking similar questions for years. Through the Access to Information Act, he’s obtained documents from TC by Transport Canada Programs and Divesti- ture from November 2004 and another by Sypher Strategic Advisors Inc. from March 2004. He said the documents show illogi- cal decision-making, how wasteful TC is and how it mismanages the airport lands. “If this was something that had come out about a business, its stock would plummet down to nearly nothing after they saw this kind of ineptitude and mismanagement,” he said. He claims TC sacrificed considerable potential revenue by mismanaging the lands and charging rents substantially below market value. “They’re foregoing the revenue so that they can board them up and allow them to deteriorate and demolish them,” he said. The Sypher report stated that as a result of reducing the number of rental proper- ties, the department was losing money when it was advised 70 homes were va- cant and boarded up at the time. “We were advised that the vacancies were due, in part, to lack of adequate funding and moratorium on new rentals instituted by Transport Canada during the past two-and-a-half years,” the report stated. Tina Bouchard, regional communica- tions advisor for Transport Canada, said for many years TC’s expenditures have far exceeded its revenue from the properties. “Today, Transport Canada is expending significant federal funds to maintain its viable residential buildings,” she said. She explained TC recently conducted a comprehensive building condition in- spection to identify priority items for ac- tion. aIt includes repairs, replacement work, “including mould remediation at a signifi- cant cost to Transport Canada.” Ms. Beelby said TC is charging her be- tween $100 and $200 a month below mar- ket value. Mr. Holland believes this strategy is to clear the path for the airport by destroying a community opposed to it “just so that it could be easier politically for them to ram through their agenda.” Mr. Holland has toured most of the homes and said it was clear TC has done a “terrible” job maintaining them. Ms. Beelby describes Transport Cana- da’s maintenance of her property as “dis- gusting.” She said each time the wind blows, shingles fall from the roof and when TC had to replace her well with “an ugly” tank on her front lawn, TC told her it would only be temporary. “They said they were either going to dig us a new well or hook us up to the com- munity well,” she said, adding the situa- tion hasn’t changed. The Sypher report noted repair budgets may meet the immediate need of the bud- get priorities. “However, in the context of a real estate portfolio, the long-term result will be the degradation of the portfolio and the loss of potential income properties, which are boarded up or demolished as in the case with the PLS (Pickering Lands Site),” the report said. “The policy of not renting out houses that become vacant makes no sense,” Mr. Holland said. But Ms. Bouchard explained TC must consider the broad Canadian public when managing public funds in a responsible manner, while making fiscally prudent economic choices. “Therefore, Transport Canada’s cur- rent practice of not re-renting residential buildings is to avoid any large invest- ment costs associated with rehabilitating an aging house stock that has minimal return,” she said. “This was their plan all along as far as I’m concerned,” Mr. McKay said. “Let the houses fall apart and then you’ll have an excuse to kick them all out.” Mr. Holland said a large amount of the documents was censored and, as a result, he’s launched a complaint with the infor- mation commissioner. Ms. Bouchard explained that under the Access to Information Act, examples of exclusions include, but are not limited to, personal information and third party information. But Mr. Holland doubts that much has to be censored. Instead, he’s convinced “they just don’t want to reveal how ineptly they’ve managed the lands.” He intends to reveal these documents to parliament and demonstrate what he’s been saying anecdotally in a fact-based way. Mr. Holland said this will demonstrate “what a complete fiasco these manage- ments of lands are,” and hopes it will bring sound logic to the management and future of the lands. He said he’s raised similar concerns with the auditor general as past chairman of the public accounts committee, but there wasn’t enough evidence to prove it was really worth investigating. Now he plans to try again. “I think the auditor general should be reviewing this and it should be the subject of one of her investigations,” he said. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 27, 2007 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Gary and Wendy Beelby have lived in the same house since 1992. Prior to that, Mr. Beelby’s family had lived there since the 50’s. They’ve been leasing the home from the federal government and it has fallen dangerously into disrepair. Residents on airport lands want to be left alone About the airport lands The federal government has owned approximately 7,350 hectares of land in Pickering, Markham and Uxbridge since 1972. The government has leased the land for residential, commercial and farming pur- poses since 1975. Pickering council is officially opposed to the airport, and restated its belief in April of this year. ‘If this was something that had come out about a business, its stock would plummet down to nearly nothing after they saw this kind of ineptitude and mismanagement.’ MP MARK HOLLAND durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 27, 2007 Durham Region Media Group newspapers honoured with industry awards DURHAM — Durham Region and Northumberland Media Group newspapers collectively brought home 14 awards in the Suburban Newspapers of Amer- ica’s 2007 Advertising and Pro- motions Contest.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT NOTICE FILING OF THE TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT Highway 7 Widening from Brock Road to Highway 12 G.W.P. 2110-05-00 THE STUDY McCormick Rankin Corporation (MRC) on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has completed the Preliminary Design Study for the widening of 13 km of Highway 7, from Brock Road to approximately 0.2 km east of the junction of Highway 7/12 in Brooklin. The study area lies within the City of Pickering and the Town of Whitby in the Region of Durham. This study investigated existing and future traffic conditions and the safety and operational performance throughout the study area, and reviewed the need for: capacity improvements including road widening and rehabilitation; structure widening and rehabilitation; improvements to operations at intersections (traffic lights, turn lanes, etc.); improvements to water drainage infrastructures; and, improvements to roadside safety. The recommended plan includes widening Highway 7 with an additional lane in each direction. Improvements also include the following main features: • Modifying substandard highway vertical profile to significantly improve sight distance at intersections and entrances; • Providing a 1 m flush median and 3 m paved shoulders; • Implementing new carpool lots at two locations, and left turn lanes at all unsignalized intersections; • Widening the East Duffins Creek Bridge and replacing the bridge deck; • Protecting property for future truck climbing lanes at Westney Road and Halls Road; • Relocating/reinstating existing highway illumination; • Improving water drainage infrastructure, including culvert replacement or extension; and • Relocating affected utilities. THE PROCESS This study has followed the approved environmental planning process for Group “B” projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) has been completed and is available for a 30-day public review period, at the locations listed below. The TESR documents how the environmental component requirements have been addressed during Preliminary Design. Design features and environmental impact mitigation measures are also addressed in the report. COMMENTS Interested persons are encouraged to review this document and provide comments by August 27, 2007. If, after reviewing the TESR and consulting with the project team, you have serious unresolved concerns, you may request the Minister of the Environment (12th Floor, 135 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, Ontario M4V 1P5) to ‘bump-up’ this project (i.e. a Part II Order). This may lead to the preparation of an Individual Environmental Assessment. The decision rests with the Minister of the Environment. A copy of your ‘bump-up’ request should be forwarded to MRC and MTO at the addresses below. If there are no outstanding concerns after August 27, 2007, the project will be considered to have met the requirement of the Class EA and may proceed to Detail Design. If you wish to obtain further information, or to provide comments, please contact the Consultant Project Manager or the MTO Senior Project Engineer. Mr. Kevin Rodger, P.Eng. Ms. Janice Munro, P.Eng.

Really, the adventure begins with figur- ing which mode of transportation I want to take. My favourite is the motorcycle taxi. It’s cheap, fast and gets me to exactly where I want to be, but most of all, it’s thrilling! People have asked if I ride in a sidecar, and the answer to that is no! After negotiating a price, I put on a helmet that is usually too big for me, climb on be- hind the driver, hold onto the handles and zoom off. It seems dangerous but I’ve never felt it. It’s just too much fun and I’m too busy enjoying the wind blowing by to worry about the dangers. Taking a mini-bus is the cheapest choice. It costs me about 20 cents to get downtown but they can also be the craziest experi- ence for new riders. The ‘buses’ here aren’t the long, spacious buses we have at home. They’re actually about the size of vans with four rows of seats. The goal is to pack as many people into one bus as possible. Dur- ing rush hour, I’ll be squished in with about 20 others. Even getting on the bus can be challeng- ing. People will push and shove to get on before it even stops. The only way to ensure a seat is to push and shove back. Everybody shoves, including old ladies. The first time I took the bus, I let a couple on ahead of me but then they started pushing. So I have to push them, too. It’s very un-Canadian but that’s how it goes in Rwanda. For the record, I’m just blocking them with my arm and not actually shoving them out of the way. To signal to the driver I want to get off at the next stop, I knock on the frame above the windows. The bus stops, I climb over the other pas- sengers to squeeze out the door, and then pay the money collector. Taxis are also good choices since, like in Canada, they take me to my exact destina- tion. There are some notable differences, how- ever. For starters, there are no fixed fares. The price is totally up to bargaining. And even though it doesn’t cost much to get around the city by our standards I still bar- gain for a lower price. Second, the back seats don’t have seat- belts, which I was amazed to discover the very first day I arrived. Now I’m amazed when there are seatbelts.

He’s yet to deal with the fourth. “I am left to settle mat- ters with the 407 in order to ensure I can get my li- cence plates renewed next year,” he said. That’s a power the toll road operator holds, even though the Province once fought it in court, because so many people had the exact same experience as Mr. Johnston. In fact, in 2000, the Province temporarily sus- pended the plate renewal refusal practice, but judges with the Ontario Superior Court eventually agreed with the consortium run- ning 407 ETR that by 2002, the billing problems had been fixed. There are instances when a vehicle owner feels -- accurately or not -- they have been billed for a 407 trip they didn’t take, said 407 ETR public relations manager Dale Albers. “It can happen when others have access to a vehicle without the owner knowing,” said Mr. Albers. There are also instances of people tampering with licence plates, causing bills to be misdirected. That doesn’t happen terri- bly often, said Mr. Albers. “Most people are law- abiding and pay for the service they use,” he said. The 407 ETR’s enforce- ment department looks into such issues and in- forms the OPP of any li- cence plate tampering they become aware of. If 407 ETR has errone- ously billed someone, it can easily be cleared up -- as Mr. Johnston found -- by calling the highway’s operator and having a cus- tomer service representa- tive check the video tran- script of the trip, said Mr. Albers. There is a four-step ap- peal process, with the eventual possibility of tak- ing it to the 407’s Ombuds- man, for those who feel they are wrongly billed. “It’s quite a long process before your plates are de- nied,” said Mr. Albers.

It’s the only planet with a Black Dog Pub! Want to do something to stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them. Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and 2 degrees up in summer will save about 2,000 of carbon dioxide per year. Turn off electric devices: Simply turn off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

White, head of the arts department at Port Perry High School, retired in June after 35 years of teaching. Born in Cannington and a music lover as long as he can remember, White is now officially retired, but that doesn’t mean he’ll vanish from the school music scene. He’s hoping to do some supply teaching. White has led the school’s vibrant arts de- partment for many years and taught choral and in- strumental music for years before that. He’s taken students on yearly tours, the last one this spring in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. He’s helped inspire a love of music in countless young people and watched as some have gone on to ca- reers in music. Over those years, he’s seen music changed but kids, well ... “Kids are kids. I don’t notice they have changed. They listen to different kinds of music. It’s different and yet still the same. Right now I see kids listening to a lot of the things...I lis- tened to in high school -- Chicago, the Beatles. It’s good to see kids rec- ognize that kind of music has lasting value.” Music, he says, “elevates your mood. In school, you could have the worst day with math but you’d play the Beatles and then everything would be good again.” In addition to supply teaching, he plans to travel with his wife Janice, spend more time with their children and grandchild, adjudicate at music festivals and get back into his own music. “I’m really going to miss the kids. I’m going to miss working with the kids. I’m also going to miss the social aspects of teaching. I would have re- tired four years but I was just having so much fun.” Teen Town ready to rock September reunion planned for group By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — In the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, the Ajax Community Centre was the place to be on a Saturday night. The dances were organized by Teen Town, a group of teenagers. Admission to dances was 25 cents for a Teen Town member and 35 cents for a non-member. Pat Brown, an Ajax councillor and Teen Town member, says the dances were run at the “community centre. Teenagers had that hall every Sat- urday night. There were almost 500 there.” Teen Town ran from the early ’50s until the early ’60s. “It was a dance run by teenagers.” On Saturday, Sept. 29, the seventh Teen Town reunion is being held at the ACC and, judging by past re- unions, it’s going to be as popular as the dances, Ms. Brown says. “It was very popular, and so are the reunions,” she notes. Those attending the reunions come from across North America, “all walks of life, millionaires to pau- pers and everything in between. There’s different professions. They all come and all the years melt away,” Ms. Brown says. The last reunion was in May of 2000 and “the talking was unbeliev- able. The DJ finally gave up.” At the time Teen Town ran, Ajax had its own police department and the group hired an officer for the door. “If anybody would do anything, they would bring in a mickey. We didn’t know about drugs in those days,” says Ms. Brown. After the costs were taken care of, any remaining money went to children’s charities, she says. The organizing committee rea- soned that a live band would take breaks, but “a DJ would play all night.” The Sept. 29 reunion starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 each. For more information or to order tickets, call Ms. Brown at 905-683- 4926. submitted photo At a reunion dance in the 1970s, Teen Town members gathered to share some memories and have fun.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Mary Cook photo Pickering wood carver Dorsey James demonstrates his unique approach to Stryofoam pumpkin carving to Gwen Wil- iams, centre, and Susan Lindo recently. Charles White Local artists to contribute to ‘amazing raffle’ PICKERING — The Pickering Museum Village Foundation, which organizes a great family pumpkin carving time at the Fall Family Festival, has found a way to make your memories last lon- ger. With the help of PineRidge Arts Council members Dorsey James, Susan Lindo, Gwen Williams and Peter Vangils, the amazing raffle will have four unique items by local artists. During the summer the sculptors are getting to know their pumpkin and search out the inner spirit. “We are thrilled to have these well-known, talented artists cre- ate works just for the Foundation and help with the promotion of the event,” say Pat Dunnill, from the PMVF. In addition to the popular raffle, PMVF will run a Rubber Duckie Race, tickets $5 each or three for $10, available from members. Proceeds from the day go to the restoration of the Brougham Central Hotel.

The Dolphins won 22-0. City swimmer in a New York state of mind Griffith headed to Adelphi University on Long Island this fall By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A busy summer will give way to an even busier fall for 18-year-old swimmer Alex Griffith. An award-winning lifeguard for the City of Toronto who’s competed on the world stage in the Lifesaving Games, the Pickering teen will be in the pool for a differ- ent reason in Septem- ber, joining the Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.) Swim Team on Long Is- land, N.Y., on a four-year athletic scholarship. The lanky, 6-foot, 4-inch freesty- ler, who’s been an 11-year mainstay with the Pickering Swim Club, is happy to move his swimming ca- reer into the collegiate realm for the coming season. He says swim- ming and studying at Adelphi fit perfectly. “I loved the team and I loved the area,” says Griffith of his reasons for signing on to attend the private university that sits in the shadow of New York City. “It felt homey because it’s in a smaller town, but it’s close to a big-city area, kind of like Pickering. All around, the fit was what I was looking for. “I am looking forward to it. It’s a big step, but I’m definitely ready to go.” Although convinced swimming for the Adelphi U. Panthers and majoring in psychology was the right call, Griffith admits other scholarship offers he received were also tantalizing, especially one from Minnesota State University. Other offers came from St. Bo- naventure in New York, Gannon in Pennsylvania and Valparaiso in Indiana. But, proximity to his Pickering home kept him from considering seriously the Minnesota State offer. “Minnesota State had a lot to offer but, in the end, distance made my decision easier. The ease of travel definitely played a part in my decision,” says the Dunbarton High School graduate, who’ll be the only Canadian on the Adelphi men’s swim team. Moreover, Adelphi was in the market for a talented sprint free- style specialist as a void was creat- ed due to a graduation on the team. Griffith hopes he and the five other Adelphi freshmen brought aboard can make an immediate impact on the men’s team’s fortunes. “They’re an up-and-coming team. They’ve been around for a while. They’re bringing in six fresh- men this year and they’re trying to pick up the program.” Over his career with the Pickering Swim Club, Griffith achieved sev- eral top-10 rankings in Swim On- tario and in the top 30 in Canada. He credits PSC head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson with helping him progress year over year. “I love everyone on the team and the coaching there is great. Lucie came in and really helped turn the club around,” he says. As a lifeguard, Griffith has com- peted with the Toronto Police Life- saving Service, where he helped the team achieve second-place overall in lifesaving techniques at the Commonwealth Lifesaving Games in England last September. He’s currently working this sum- mer as a lifeguard for the City of Toronto on Toronto Island. Alex Griffith FAST FACTS About Adelphi University Located: Garden City, New York (oldest private university on Long Island, NY) Team Name: Panthers Facts: Competes at the NCAA Division II level in the East Coast Athletic Conference with other New York State and Connecticut universities. Also noteworthy: Griffith is the second Pickering Swim Club athlete to earn a U.S. scholar- ship this year, with Jessica Ward joining the North Carolina State University Wolfpack swim team this fall. False start may have hampered her performance in final PICKERING — It was too close to call but, in the end, Pickering Olym- pian Perdita Felicien had to settle for another silver medal. In what was essentially a three- person race in the women’s 100- metre hurdles final Wednesday at Estadio Joao Hevelange, Jamaican Deloreen Ennis-London and Fe- licien each crossed the line in a season’s best 12.65 seconds at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro. It was, however, Ennis-Lon- don who edged out Felicien for gold in the photo-finish. The winning time beat the Games record which was 12.66, set by Ja- maican Brigette Foster at the previ- ous Games in 2003. Fellow Ca- nadian, An- gela Whyte, of Edmonton, finished with the bronze medal in 12.72. Felicien, 26, had hoped for an upgrade over her silver-medal performance at the 2003 Pan-Am Games in Santo Do- mingo, Dominican Republic. And, she quite possibly could have taken gold if it wasn’t for a false start that was charged to Felicien, thus making her take a cautious ap- proach on the restart. Out of the restart, Felicien got out the blocks behind frontrunner Ennis-London, who hung on for the slightest of vic- tories. Felicien will use her silver-medal result as a springboard to the up- coming IAAF World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Osaka, Japan. Meanwhile, another Pickering athlete, Anson Henry, 28, finished eighth in the men’s 100 metre final late Tuesday. Henry ran the event in 10.38 seconds, slower than his previ- ous times in his heat and semifinal races. Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles won the final in 10.15. Another silver lining for Perdita Perdita Felicien Integrated Dealer Systems,div. of Brunswick Corporation, has the following opportunities in its Pickering location: ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Duties:Assist managers with projects, contracts administration backup, contact for incoming clients and guests, mail and courier handling, maintain office supplies and equipment, bank deposit delivery, AP assistance and other duties as assigned.
