High temperatures, wind, waves and zebra mussels contributed to problem PICKERING — A reactor at the Pickering nuclear station was off-line most of the weekend because algae had clogged in-take systems. Unit 5 was taken off-line on Thurs- day and didn’t return to service until late Sunday night, Ontario Power Gen- eration spokesman John Earl said. “It’s on the way back to high power. These units come back in stages,” Mr. Earl said Monday morning. Algae accumulates on screens and filters, reducing the amount of water that’s drawn in to cool the station. “We have to have a large amount of water. “The volume of water we draw would be substantial. Algae impacts the flow,” Mr. Earl said. High temperatures, combined with wind and wave conditions, contrib- uted to the amount of algae flowing into the station, Mr. Earl noted. “It’s not a new problem. It’s a prob- lem we have to deal with occasionally,” he stated. “We have different mechanisms to try to minimize the impact. If algae gets to a certain condition, it can affect the units,” he stated. “We have some fixes in place.” Also contributing to the increase in algae are zebra mussels, which filter the water, making it easier for sun- light to shine deeper and create more algae. OPG noted the problem with Unit 5 is solely related to algae growth and is unrelated to recent maintenance out- ages with the reactor. There are no environmental or safety concerns for the public or OPG staff because of the algae problem, the company added.

Ms. Nedham said he’s sedated and on a very high dosage of morphine after receiving third-degree burns when a motor home he was repair- ing caught on fire. Ms. Nedham said she and her daughters, Heather, 27, and Amanda, 25, aren’t able to visit him, partly because it would be too expensive to travel down. Employees at Hollywood Inc. on Hwy. 7 in Pickering were closing up a little later than usual last Friday night when Alfredo Arellano heard screams coming from the shop next door. “I just heard Phil crying and I thought it was nothing at first, then his crying (intensified) and I looked over to where he was because the shop is only separated by an eight- foot wall,” he said. He ran next door and saw a motor home at Durham RV on fire inside the shop. He found Mr. Nedham work- ing underneath the motor home. Mr. Arellano then shouted to the co-owner of Hollywood Inc., Rob Howard, to call 911. While he did that, Mr. Arellano went to work on removing the victim. “I walked Phil out because you couldn’t touch him because there was just so much burn on him,” he said. “The skin was hanging off of him; he had third-degree burns. You could see his muscles; you could see his veins.” Mr. Howard then took his truck, attached a tug strap, and pulled the motor home out of the shop, driving it sideways so it wouldn’t damage anything in the Man pulled from beneath burning RV Photo by Chris Harris An Ajax man is is a New York hospital with burns after an RV he was working on caught fire.

Firebrand police boss steps aside Andrews acknowledges ‘vocal persistent’ critics By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Firebrand Durham Regional Police Association President Tom Andrews has tendered his resig- nation, announcing he’ll step down when elections for executive posts are held this fall. Mr. Andrews, a long-serving Dur- ham cop who was elected to lead the asso- ciation last Oc- tober, declined comment on his decision when reached Tues- day. But a notice distributed to members said he had decided to step aside to bring an end to a period of turbulence that began soon after he was elected to the top job. “In response to a few vocal and per- sistent members President Tom An- drews has tendered his resignation ef- fective Oct. 22, 2007,” says the memo, signed by association secretary trea- surer Mike Glennie.

And, he may be heading back in 2007 as an 80 year old. The Pickering resident is mulling his options on running in Ajax-Pickering Riding for the New Democratic Party in the provincial election in October. “I’m still pondering it; I think I can win it all right,” Mr. Scott says. He’s been a member of the NDP and it’s precursor, the Co-operative Com- monwealth Federation, since he was eight and “I delivered literature for the CCF.” Over the years, he’s been an MPP, an MP and a Toronto councillor. Profes- sionally, he was a lawyer and a judge, having been appointed to the bench by former Premier Bill Davis. The October election is important, because “there are a lot of issues that need to be taken care of. Health care, the justice system, hospitals. There’s an enormous number of problems,” Mr. Scott says. “I have a lot of experience and I think I can bring it to help. “Issues in this election are very, very serious ones for the future of Ontario and the public doesn’t realize it,” he adds. “This government is tremendously vulnerable on several spots,” he states, pointing to the recent controversy of the cricket association getting a $1 million grant when it only asked for $150,000. Mr. Scott points to long-term care patients getting an increase in funding of 11 cents a day. “How crazy can they get. It’s so morally reprehensible, you can’t even believe it,” he states. However, the big issue for Mr. Scott is climate change. “Looming above it all is the hor- rible issue of global warming. In two decades, Santa Claus won’t need rein- deer. He could use a canoe,” he states. “No one disputes it any more. For the first time, we have the capacity to destroy our world. Everyone wants something done, but no one wants to make sacri- fices. “I think the issues in this election are so important. No seat should be left unchallenged. It would be an interest- ing end of my career. I’d end up where I started,” Mr. Scott notes. It started when he was 21. “I was the youngest person elected. It was 1948. I served to 1951,” Mr. Scott says. In 1961, when the NDP was formed, he was at the founding conference. “Tommy Douglas came and spoke to me in the east end and said ‘I think you can win.’ I had clients on every street,” he says. The riding’s MP, a Progressive Con- servative, had won the riding by more than 20,000 votes in the previous elec- tion. Still, Mr. Scott ran and “much to my surprise, I won.” He won by increasing margins in 1963 and ’65. Mr. Scott served on the justice com- mittee with Pierre Trudeau. “I had a feeling this is a guy who’s going to change the face of Canada,” Mr. Scott said. “I could see the sweep.” So, he left Ottawa and got “heavily involved in municipal politics” in To- ronto. He even served as deputy mayor in 1976. After retiring, Premier Davis made him a justice, which he did until retir- ing in 1991. Mr. Scott says he’s in good health and “my doctor claims I could live to 150. I feel 60 years old.” Joe Dickson will represent the Liber- als in Ajax-Pickering, while Kevin Ashe is the PC candidate. The Green Party has yet to select a candidate. Kevin Modeste, the Ajax-Pickering Riding association president for the NDP, says the nomination meeting should be held by the end of August.

PAGE A3 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ August 15, 2007 A/P Fill up on free, re-used paint Durham Region offers variety of different hues to residents at no charge By Stefanie Swinson sswinson@durhamregion.com DURHAM — With the long weekend coming up, many of you probably have that home improvement project on your mind. Your renovation may not be as pricey as you think, at least when it comes to choosing that perfect paint colour. You don’t have to go to the local paint store to buy it, in fact you don’t have to buy it at all. The Durham Re- gion dump offers a wide variety of hues for free. “Everybody’s faced with the problem of what to do with paint after they’ve finished a project,” said waste man- agement technician Katherine Ross- Perron. “The paint centre provided at Oshawa’s waste management facility allows residents to bring in paint that can be utilized for other purposes.” The centre offers many different kinds of good quality stains and paints at no charge to the public. “We have new paint coming in everyday, so a lot of people come on a weekly basis to look at the different colours and see if there is something there they can utilize,” said Ms. Ross- Perron. The Region of Durham has had the program in place since 1989. It started out in a small room located beside the household hazardous waste centre. The demand for the free, re- used paint grew and so did the centre. In 2003 the facility moved to a new, larger building at the dump which is packed full of paint cans. “There are times when there are lots of paint cans on the floor and over- flowing out of the building,” explained Ms. Ross-Perron. “We’re almost at the point where we’re going to need an even bigger building.” This program helps keep toxic paints out of landfills and out of sewer systems. The paints that aren’t up to standard are packaged and collected by a contractor who then sends it for recycling. Getting rid of your paint is also free. Just stop by the Durham Region waste management facility at 1640 Ritson Rd. N. and let the scale house clerk know that you’re there to drop off used paint. The build- ing is open for business Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Laptop accessory gets a U.S. patent University of Ontario Institute of Technology provost awarded for his Kool Plate DURHAM— A laptop invention by a local university provost could soon be making its way into the market. The Kool Plate, created by Richard Marceau of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), has been awarded a U.S. patent, the first to be issued under the management of the school’s office of technology trans- fer and commercialization. The laptop accessory is a ribbed plate placed under laptop computers or portable DVD players to keep them comfortable and ensure the proper cooling of electronic equipment. Made from aluminum, it shields users from possible electromagnetic radiation that can be emitted from some lap- tops. Now, UOIT’s office of technol- ogy transfer and commercialization is working on a business case for com- mercialization of the product. “I was very pleased to receive news of the successful patent application, both personally and for UOIT,” said Mr. Marceau. “Any time you dedicate extensive efforts to a project that will be of inter- est and of benefit to consumers it is rewarding.” Mr. Marceau came up with the idea for the Kool Plate in 1995, crafting his initial model from glass. After experimenting with different de- signs and materials, he realized the commercial potential of the plate and began the patent process. The Kool Plate has proven popular on campus, where an initial batch of 100 proto- types, manufactured with the assis- tance of Durham College and fourth- year capstone students, sold out in a few months. Another 400 are on order and there will be an opportunity for local retail- ers to carry them. Retired judge wants to finish where he started Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser file photo Judge Reid Scott is expected to represent the NDP in the riding of Ajax-Pickering in the October provincial election. In June he competed in the Senior Star Competition at Cullen Park. ‘My doctor claims I could live to be 150. I feel 60 years old.’ REID SCOTT For more on this story Teacher accused of sex assaults remains in custody Jeremy Pike was arrested in 2005 DURHAM — A former elementary school teacher facing dozens of charges of sexually molesting children remains in custody as his case makes its way through the courts. Jeremy Pike, 35, appeared briefly via video link in an Oshawa courtroom Tuesday and was ordered to appear next January for a status hearing. He’ll remain in custody -- as he has since his arrest more than two years ago -- until then. Prosecutor Kent Saliwonchyk told a justice of the peace that while a resolu- tion to many of the charges faced by the Clarington man is in the works, some issues remain outstanding. “At this stage we’re unable to com- pletely resolve Mr. Pike’s charges,” Mr. Saliwonchyk said. Mr. Pike, a Grade 5 teacher at Glen Street Public School in Oshawa at the time of his arrest in July 2005, faces dozens of charges of sexual assault on children. The allegations include sexual assault, sexual interference and making child pornography. Mr. Pike was denied bail after his arrest and has remained incarcerated at a provincial holding facil- ity while his case makes its way through the courts. During that period he has changed lawyers a number of times and has accumulated a substantial amount of pretrial custody. He is to appear in Ontario Court in Oshawa in person for a status hearing in January.

Pickering Fire Deputy Chief Simon Almond said the fire depart- ment got a call at 7:22 p.m. and was on the scene at 7:36 p.m., with two pumpers, two tankers, a command vehicle, and 18 firefighters in tow. “That would be our normal re- sponse to that type of call,” he said. Both Mr. Howard and Mr. Arel- lano said there was no time to think, and they both simply did what came naturally. Mr. Howard said adrena- line overcame him when he pulled the RV out. “Everybody came together,” he said. “All the guys in the shop were over here trying to put it out and stuff, so everybody just worked good.” Deputy Chief Almond said re- moving the motor home was a dan- gerous call to make, but acknowl- edged adrenaline played a big factor in the situation. “Sometimes when that happens, perhaps we don’t always think logi- cally,” he said. Mr. Nedham suffered third-degree burns over approximately 20 per cent of his body, mostly his arms and hands. Mr. Arellano said he doesn’t believe he’s a hero since the victim was badly burnt, but admits he was lucky to be there. “I think he was at the point that he was so shocked that he got burned that he didn’t realize that this thing could really get out of hand,” he said. “He was trying to put the fire out himself and if there was nobody here, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.” Ms. Nedham said although she’s not ready, she plans to meet Mr. Arellano in the future. Damage is estimated at $20,000 and the ministry of labour was called in. “That’s normal,” Deputy Chief Almond said. “We do that for every industrial accident.” The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Top photo by Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Photos at left and bottom by Chris Harris “President Andrews has made this personal decision in order to establish a clear mandate from the member- ship.” Mr. Andrews would not say if he plans to place his name on the ballot when board elections are held in Oc- tober. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 15. Detective Larry Nobbs, a former board director who resigned in protest over Mr. Andrews’s management style, predicted reaction to the resignation would be mixed. “I guess there are three fronts,” he said. “Some say good, some say not good, and some say, what does it really mean? “I just want to see all the right things done and the good things happen that I know can happen.” The tumultuous tenure of Mr. An- drews represented a remarkable pe- riod for the association, which repre- sents 800 uniformed officers and 300 civilian employees of the Durham Re- gional Police Service. As early as last fall rumblings began to be heard about the gruff, tough- talking cop’s management style and tactics. Over the past year he has been the subject of complaints from members and in June, survived an attempt by a number of cops who attempted to bring forth a motion calling for the ouster of the president and his execu- tive, including Mr. Glennie and vice- president Dave Robinson. Mr. Andrews and other executive members were also investigated by the RCMP after board members com- plained e-mails they’d sent to one an- other had been intercepted and read. In a memo to members in May, Mr. Andrews acknowledged the electronic surveillance, but insisted the executive were doing nothing wrong in viewing traffic on association owned and oper- ated computers and e-mail accounts. RCMP spokeswoman Constable Judy Lawrence said this week the probe had found no evidence of wrongdoing. “No criminality was found,” she said. “As such, no charges will be laid.” While criticism of Mr. Andrews has run high at times, he was not with- out support. One insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told This Week he had the potential to be an ef- fective president if only he could learn the political ropes necessary to do so. “Tom Andrews has the potential to be the best president ever,” the source said in late May. “He has the knowl- edge; he has the drive. “He just doesn’t see the big picture about what his role is.” Indeed, Mr. Andrews ruffled feath- ers virtually from day one, meeting with reporters to discuss his agenda -- including lobbying for more officers and resources as contract talks for the membership got underway -- in the days immediately following the vote that brought him to office. A source said the move by a presi- dent-elect who hadn’t yet been sworn in, bothered some members. Further confrontations followed as the new boss settled in and conflict soon boiled over, spilling from the board room to the membership and eventually to the media. In addition to the president’s post, two directors’ positions, vacated by resignations this spring, will be filled in a byelection running concurrently with regularly scheduled elections in October. Grumblings began last fall about management style A brief timeline of Tom Andrews’s tenure • October 2006: Mr. Andrews, a veteran Durham cop, is elected president, defeating incumbent Doug Kavanaugh and a civilian candidate backed by a number of high-profile officers. • Fall/Winter 2006/2007: Mr. Andrews makes a number of comments in the press, vowing to take a tough stance with Durham police management on issues such as officer deployment and staffing levels. Some members are leery of the provocative language employed by the new boss. • May 2007: The RCMP is called in to investigate complaints that Mr. Andrews and executive officers have intercepted e-mail messages among board members. The Mounties eventually declare no criminal acts were committed. • June 2007: A motion by a number of members to have Mr. Andrews and other executive members turfed out fails when it is declared unconstitutional. At the same time, two directors resign. • August 2007: Mr. Andrews announces he’ll step aside in the fall, clearing the way for a byelection to elect a new president. ✦ Grumblings from page A1 ✦ No from page A1 No cause determined for RV fire Fundraising for home base has been going on since 2004 By Lesley Bovie lbovie@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A non-profit or- ganization dedicated to help- ing grieving children is in need of a home. Carol Byvelds, founder of the Carly Centre for Grieving Chil- dren, says she has 13 families in Durham waiting for help. But until she finds a perma- nent meeting space to host the centre’s peer support groups all she can do is refer them to other services. At the moment, nothing like The Carly Centre exists in Dur- ham in terms of offering con- tinuous and open grief-support programs for children who have lost a loved one to an accident or illness. The centre’s board of direc- tors have been actively fund- raising for a home base since the fall of 2004. “We’ve had some equipment donated but nowhere to store it,” said Ms. Byvelds, who was inspired by the Dougy Centre in Portland, Oregon. She was struck by its unique- ness while doing research for her Bachelor of Science in Psy- chology in 1997. Ms. Byvelds later received training at the centre in 2004. The Dougy Centre was launched more than 20 years ago by a nurse who noticed one of her young cancer patients, Dougy, talking to other chil- dren on the floor about their illness and how they seemed to get comfort from sharing their experience with one another. Ms. Byvelds hopes to use the same peer support model here in Durham, offering groups twice a week to children ages four to 19, their parents and caregivers. Grief is something altogether different for children, she said. “When there’s a death in the family, everyone is around the adults but they usually don’t talk about it with children. Kids know that something is going on,” said Ms. Byvelds. Children will often internal- ize their grief and blame them- selves for the loss of a loved one, she added. Danielle Masanto was six when her mother died from breast cancer. “Life changes. Nobody knows how to talk to you and nobody understands,” said Ms. Masan- to. “It’s almost like growing up overnight.” She wishes a support service like the Carly Centre was avail- able throughout her ordeal. Being on the board of directors now for the centre has helped with her healing. Specially-trained volunteers will help guide the sessions but it will be the children who set the agenda. Some therapies may include sitting in a circle and passing around the talking stick to those wanting to share their thoughts and feelings. A puppet theatre with a policeman, doctor and other authorities children may have encountered during their grief help them play out their emotions.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OPG should have supplied own security years ago To the editor: I read with interest last week your article on OPG creating its own security force by 2013. I say it’s about time. These days with more and more being demanded of the Durham Regional Police Service the last thing they need to be doing is providing security for OPG or any other large corpora- tion. That’s because the police aren’t security guards, they’re law enforcement officers. Not- withstanding the stepped-up security the whole country has been forced to adopt since 9/11, the best course of action I see OPG doing is creating its own security force. They are, after all, big enough to afford such a force and in the long run it will save DRPS from having to spend resources looking after OPG. I only wish OPG could get its security up and running before then but it’s governed by rules set out by its governing body so I guess we’re stuck with 2013. William Roberts Clarington Moving experience witnessing procession To the editor: I was listening to the radio all day, and they said the bodies of the three soldiers killed in ac- tion recently had arrived home. I was there for 7:30 p.m. at the top of the bridge on Durham Rd. 23. I took a Canadian flag. There was a guy there with his girl- friend or wife. I got to the top of the bridge and asked them if they were there for the proces- sion from Trenton. He replied solemnly, ”Yes.” He was a Dur- ham Regional Police officer out of Pickering involved in clear- ing traffic with the Ontario Pro- vincial Police when six soldiers were sent back. He described to me what we would see and it soon became as if we three had known each other for some time. We spoke of feeling a sense of duty toward these soldiers as free citizens. We owe these guys that much respect, because it also respects all those who came before them and all those who will sadly come after them. Like the copper said to me, this will help the families of these soldiers so much to see that it mattered to some that they did not die in vain. I agree. The freedom we enjoy is because of men and women who paid the supreme price. As they approached, I held that Canadian flag high while saluting the entire procession. The soldiers in the passenger seats of the hearses all stuck an arm out of the window and waved to us. I was so proud to be a part of that for them, and humbled to think that these three guys, everyone who came before, and those who will come back in body bags are doing it for our current way of life.

IN THE COMMUNITY Understanding the allure of target practice /4& Neil finds his preconceptions were misconceptions O ne of the swell things about this column is that occasionally readers invite me to par- ticipate in their hobbies and passions. I’ve tried my hand at fly-fishing, blacksmithing and, of course, I’ll never for- get my experience at Quilt-a- rama. This week I definitely pushed the envelope when I accepted Peter Etmanskie’s invitation to come out to the Orono Fish and Hunt Club for a day of ‘shooting’. Shooting guns. Guns ... with bullets. My sons and I arrived at the Club at 10:30 a.m., they with visions of Lugers dancing in their heads, I, frankly, a little more wary. I’m not anti-gun, but I admit to having some reservations about spend- ing a day with a number of self-proclaimed ‘weapons enthusiasts’. I pictured a lot of chewing tobacco, baseball hats and ‘Kill ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out’ bumper stickers. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Peter and his buddy Ron Alldred treated us like kings. I’ve rarely met two friendlier, more generous guys. They were obviously passionate about shooting sports and their excitement was decided- ly infectious. After a thorough safety briefing and requisite urine and DNA samples, we donned our earplugs, head- phones, protective eyewear and headed out to the range. I didn’t tell anyone, but I’d also worn a jock, just in case. Maybe it’s the actor in me, but whenever I find myself in a new scenario my Spidey- senses go into high gear, des- perately searching for clues or mannerisms to camouflage my flagrant greenness. In this case, a quick scan of several khaki-clad individuals al- ready shooting tipped me off. I affected a Hemingway-esque squint, something one might pick up staring down the bar- rels of innumerable elephant guns or the result of repeat- ed exposure to the glaring snows of Kilimanjaro. I also, more the result of my chafing jock cup than anything else, had adopted a slight limp. If asked, I planned to give the leg a perfunctory glance and murmur a steely, ‘Rhino’, to my inquisitor. We came for a shooting ex- perience and Pete and Ron did not disappoint. They had brought along enough ord- nance to defend the Alamo, and one or two pieces that I’m pretty sure did. Between the two of them they had more guns than a Bush Fam- ily Thanksgiving. We had the time of our lives target shoot- ing with handguns, rifles, old-fashioned muzzle-load- ers, shot-guns and replica M- 16’s. My boys thought they had died and gone to heaven. As for me, it was all I could do to maintain any semblance of adult reserve and not shriek ‘Me first! Me first!’ whenever a new gun was brought out. It really was fun. Beyond the obvious exhilaration created by the thunderous bang and kick of the weap- ons, there was an intriguing story or history behind every gun we handled and a few we didn’t. We were given a crash course in the fascinat- ing science of ballistics and I watched my kids listening, learning and really focus- ing. They were being talked to as adults and they were responding as such. I could literally see their boundaries moving, growing. I don’t know that I’ll ever own a gun. I may never even shoot one again. But I’ll cer- tainly never think of gun owners in quite the same way again. As Atticus Finch, a pretty fair shot himself if I recall, said, “You never really understand a person until you see things from his point of view ... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Doing everything I can Could be doing more Haven’t changed a thing Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Body art parlours need stringent rules Inspections need to take place more than once a year B efore you go under the needle make sure you take the time to investigate the safety measures followed by the body art parlour you give your business to. In a burgeoning industry that has grown exponentially in the past decade, fuelled by an explosion in demand for tattoos and piercings, it’s inevitable concerns would be raised about the cleanliness and sterility of the tools used to decorate bodies. Worries were raised here in Durham earlier this month when Longhorn Custom Body Art in Oshawa was closed by order of the Region of Durham Health Department after an investigation was launched into potential exposure to non-sterile equipment. Letters were sent to between 1,500 and 2,000 Longhorn clients who could have been exposed to diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. While the risk to such exposure is extremely low, the health department is urging anyone who had work done at Longhorn be- tween Nov. 17, 2006 and Aug. 1, 2007 to visit their family doctor or urgent care for a checkup. The parlour re-opened on Aug. 9 after it passed a number of tests on the previously malfunctioning sterilizing equipment that forced the closure. While Longhorn owner Hugh Towie says he’s confident in the cleanliness and sterilization process of his equipment -- “all our piercing needles and tattoo needles are single use” -- he says he’s not sure about other small businesses which have opened to meet demand. And control and regulation of the industry is a concern, accord- ing to David Jenson, a communications rep with the provincial Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Tattoo parlours are licensed like hair dressers, meaning they fall under the decade-old Personal Services Setting Protocol that calls for an annual visit by the local health board to make sure the businesses are complying with regula- tions. Even Mr. Towie feels once a year is not enough. He believes a monthly visit is necessary to make sure proper safety measures are being taken by body art parlours. Furthermore, the protocol calls for monthly testing of sterilization equipment but does not require the parlours to report results to a governing body. That’s a major issue. Of course, ramped up inspections and more stringent regulations will require more government funding that must come from the parlours themselves or through a surcharge placed on each proce- dure. Such an expense is worth that cost if it results in a much higher measure of safety that protects the public from winding up with a life sentence due to an incurable blood-borne disease.

Mr. Tory is promising, if elected this fall, his party will appoint ex-premier Bill Davis to lead a commission to investigate the best way to bring faith- based schools into the public system. “The issue has been around,” said Mr. Tory. “When I worked with (Mr.) Davis, in 1975, we had delegations coming in.” The delegations noted the system wasn’t fair, saying the province was paying for the Catholic system, but not other faiths. “They’ve continued to talk to suc- cessive governments about the unfair- ness,” said Mr. Tory. “They were totally outside the public system.” Oshawa MPP Conservative Jerry Ouellette said the issue of public funds for private schools is something he’s faced every time he’s campaigned since 1995. The pros and cons of doing so would have to be worked out during Mr. Davis’ review, he added. “Well, it’s kind of a double-edged sword,” said Mr. Ouellette of providing funding. A Durham Christian school princi- pal, George Petrusma, said more pub- lic funds is attractive but there needs to be much discussion before religious- based schools jump at the idea. His school, Knox Christian in Bow- manville, participates in national stan- dardized tests, unlike schools within the current public system, which use testing from Ontario’s Education Qual- ity and Accountability Office. It also uses curriculum designed by the On- tario Alliance of Christian Schools, which uses the provincial regimen as one of its support documents. The school is accountable, said Mr. Petrusma. “Because of the dynamic of parents paying tuition, if we were not doing a good job, our desks would be empty,” he added. Mr. Ouellette said during caucus meetings, his party discussed some of the things Mr. Davis would have to look into, including if they would have to join the public system, would they have elected officials and would the public board administer the funding. His party is promising $800 million more for education, and $400 million for the faith-based schools, which would be separate as far as he knows. He can’t see the potential change as equaling less funds for existing school boards and added he needs more de- tails to ensure the faith-based funding wouldn’t negatively affect the public boards. As to if the change could pro- mote segregation, Mr. Ouellette said there’s a lot of Canadian information faith-based schools aren’t currently teaching. “There’s a lot of concern about a lot of certain sectors will not be integrated into society,” said Mr. Ouel- lette. If someone’s primary language is not English and the faith-based schools were given public funding, they would have to follow Ontario’s curriculum that includes English, French, Cana- dian history and geography. Funding the faith-based schools won’t cause divisiveness, said Mr. Tory. Inviting them into the public system will be more inclusive, he added.

Unfortunately, only one of the teams was able to win their final game of the tournament. The provincial Peewee squad rolled through the round robin with an 8-0 mark, and finished off the tournament keeping the perfect record intact with a 6-2 victory over British Columbia in the gold medal game. The Bantam entry matched the perfect round robin record of their younger cohorts, posting a 6-0 record, but couldn’t pull out a win in the gold medal game, suffer- ing a 7-5 setback to Iroquois. The Peewees simply annihilated the rest of the field through the eight round robin games. Aside from a 7-3 win over Iroquois, the remaining outings were all blowouts. All told, the Peewees struck for 138 goals for while allowing just nine in the eight games for an average margin of victory of 17-1. Coach Derek Keenan said that his roster en- joyed the high level of success because of their depth, size and willingness to accept a different role from the one played on their hometown rep team. “Obviously we had some easier games and that’s the nature of the tournament,” he said. “Going into the tournament you understand who the main competition is going to be and that turned out to be the case with British Columbia. “I don’t think we had our best game in the final, I think the Wednesday game when we won 10-2 over BC was the one. In the final the kids were probably nervous and tired. It’s a long week.” In comparing this squad to the one that won bronze last year, Keenan said he knew from the outset that this version was very strong. “Going in you don’t know a lot about the oppo- sition, but I knew our team was going to be very strong.” A couple of local players contributed signifi- cantly to the offence. Nicholas Karam of Whitby finished fifth in tournament scoring with 9-16-25 numbers, while Bowmanville’s Mitchell Burghardt landed in the top-15 with 6-13-19 numbers. Other members of the team from Durham Region contributing to the gold medal win were Michael Panowyk of Whitby and Brandon Robin- son of Pickering. The Bantams were also the premier team in the round robin, outscoring the opposition 97-15 over the six games for an average win of 16-2 per game. But in the gold medal game, Iro- quois turned the ta- bles after a 5-4 dou- ble overtime loss in the round robin with the 7-5 victory to walk away with gold. “The kids just had a meltdown,” said coach Corny Derks of the loss in the final. “I don’t know if it was playing in front of that many people, but we made more mistakes in that game than in all the games combined before that.” Ontario built a 3-1 lead in the first, but a couple of disallowed goals kept the game close, allowing Iroquois to mount a comeback. “If we played them 10 times, we would have won seven or eight of them. I know we were the better team we just didn’t show it and that’s the frustrating part,” said Derks. Tyler Gilligan of Whitby had a strong tourna- ment, finishing among the top point-getters with 7-6-13 numbers. Another local connection on the team was Whitby’s Michael Biergard.

Pickering Red Sox midgets unbeaten at Brantford tournament Rep baseball squad wins nail-biter over Brampton to take title PICKERING — Pickering Red Sox midget ‘AAA’ rep baseball team scored a close victory over another GTA squad to capture the champi- onship at a tournament in Brantford recently. The Sox went undefeated en route to the championship game where they met the Bramp- ton Royals, winning by a close 6-4 margin. For Pickering head coach Adrian St. Kitts, the final victory was the culmination of a solid weekend of baseball by his charges. “The team played great baseball all week- end,” said St. Kitts. “The team really came together and showed a lot of hard work.” In the semifinal contest, the Red Sox side- lined the host Brantford Red Sox 5-4 to advance to the final. In their group, the Red Sox finished with a 3-0 record to move into the playoff round. In Game 1, the Sox scored an 8-7 victory over Royal York. Pickering romped past Hamilton 8- 1 in Game 2 and finished up with a 3-0 shutout over the Brampton Royals. The Red Sox midgets will wrap up its regular season in the Eastern Ontario Baseball Associa- tion loop, where they have a 16-3 record. The midgets are scheduled to play the Ni- agara Falls tournament from Aug. 14 to 16 and the pending Ontario Baseball Association championships in Windsor from Aug. 23 to 25. Members of the team include pitchers Kyle Kotchie, Eric Watson, Vito Perri, A.J. Burling- ton, Travis Hendry, Matthew St. Kitts, Robert Carman and Eric Watson, infielders Kotchie, Carman, Hendry, Watson, Sean Molony, Ryan Turner, Kyle Smeelen and St. Kitts, catchers Eddy Ricciardi, Kyle Smeelen and Bobby Gert- sakis, outfielders Peter Collicchio, Eric Wilton, Vito Perri, Mark Hoyne and Mitchell Oke.

Pickering golfer wins senior women’s title 2004 champ Wickware wears the crown for a second time PICKERING — A Pickering golfer held on in the final round to emerge as the champion at the 2007 Investors Group Ontario Senior Women’s Cham- pionship at Owen Sound Golf and Country Club earlier this month. Susan Wickware of Pickering -- the 2004 cham- pion -- started the day with a two stroke lead and was able to play steady golf and claim victory with a final round 76 and 16 over par (229) for the tour- nament. She got off to a rocky start on the front nine but a birdie on the eighth hole got her back on track. Her only other birdie of the day on the 16th hole gave her the one stroke difference she would need. Although starting the 18th hole with her com- petitors right on her heels, she stuck to her game plan and finished strong to claim the title. “Today was great to play with Jeanne (Beaith of Port Hope, the second-place finisher), but very different than 2004. We were both rooting for each other out there, it was ‘Serious Friendly’,” stated Wickware who plays out of the Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto. Beaith battled hard on the final day but strug- gled on the back nine to finish just a stroke back of Wickware alone in second place. The Dalewood Golf and Curling Club member played well all week and, despite some trouble late on Thursday, finished with a final round 75 and 17 over par (230) for the tournament. Kathy MacMurdo of Owen Sound finished in third place at 19 over par (232) for the tournament. She was able to couple nine pars with three birdies on the day to claim the bronze medal. Mary Kraus of Crystal Beach and Ginny Marshall of Waterloo finished in a tie for fourth place at 21 over par (234). Kraus and Marshall quickly returned to the course to play off for the last spot on the Ontario provincial where Kraus was able to secure that spot with a par on the third playoff hole. Kraus will join Wickware, Beaith and MacMurdo on the Ontario Senior Women’s Interprovincial Team that will represent Ontario at the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship in Saskatoon later this summer. One other local golfer, Angela Colm of Ajax who’s a member of the Whitevale Golf Club, fin- ished tied for 16th with a three-day score of 242 (29 over par).

Clayton James will be among about 100 artists attending Art in the Park 2007, presented by the Uxbridge and District Lions Club, Aug. 18 and Aug. 19 in Elgin Park. The gates open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and admission and park- ing are free. Mr. James’s miniature etchings in mammoth ivory will be among the art- work displayed at the show. “It’s a bit like tattooing, but it’s done by hand,” said Mr. James. To do the pictures, which range in size from 3.25 centimetres to no larger than 10 cm per piece, he has to first cut and polish his ivory, which he stresses does not come from elephants. He then en- graves his picture with a sharp point be- fore rubbing Indian ink into the image. The process can take 40 to 50 hours and is done like a tattoo, but by hand and into bone, and with the aid of a micro- scope. “If I make a mistake, it’s in there,” he said. If that happens, he has to repolish it and start over. Although Mr. James has been doing scrimshaw for about 30 years, he said it’s not very common around here and usually he’s the only artist of his kind at a show. He was introduced to scrimshaw while a member of a black powder gun club for primitive weapons; there, he spotted a powder horn with engraved animals. Mr. James asked its owner, Charles Har- graves, where he got it, and he said he made it, then showed Mr. James some techniques. Mr. James began the art form as a hobby and has gotten more involved since his retirement. He gets ideas for carving by flipping through old photos and National Geo- graphic magazines. “I like animals. I’ve done some ani- mals, I’ve done some animal portraits for people who have lost their pets,” said Mr. James, and added he’s currently working on a wolf, tiger, penguin, and elephant. He also does tiny pictures of ships. Mr. James has also been experiment- ing with coloured inks. “It’s interesting, people seem to like it,” said Mr. James. He also makes jewelry with smaller pieces of the mammoth ivory and makes powder horns with white or black cow horns. His necklaces range from $100 to $120 on average, while carvings go for between $300 and $400. For more information on Art in the Park, visit uxbridge.com/lionsart.

Ajax actress Stecyk has role in Class Act play By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — John Green is playing two roles in Class Act Dinner Theatre’s latest production, You Can’t Dance to Mozart. But you won’t find the Oshawa resi- dent on stage at all during the romantic comedy’s run from Aug. 2 to 25. He’s the playwright and the director. The retired Durham College professor and accomplished author, actor and pro- ducer is looking forward to the premiere of his play, while also taking the cast and crew through the last few rehearsals. “The play’s about three years old,” he said. “I wrote the first act of the play about three years ago. I let it sit. I had other things to do.” And he wasn’t totally happy with the story of Kate and Barney, opposites who are attracted to each other. But then a friend read the play and encouraged him to keep writing it. “I finished it and I worked on it over the last winter,” Green said. He took the play to Rocky Varcoe, co- owner of Class Act, knowing “it’s a little bit out of the routine of Class Act. It’s not a farce.” But Varcoe has been mixing up the fare at the dinner theatre, staging comedies and romantic comedies now and again. He liked You Can’t Dance to Mozart and booked it for this summer, with Green as director. “It’s an experience,” Green said of di- recting his own play. “It’s very difficult to direct your own words. You have such great notions of how you want things done. It’s hard to get that out of your head and let the actors do their work. It’s been a great experience. It’s frustrating at times... but it’s a good learning experience.” He added he’s got a first-rate cast and crew to bring his play and his characters to life for the first time. “I’m enjoying the rehearsals. I’m really relying on the experience of the actors.” In the play, retired Barney Walden lives in a run-down apartment in Toronto’s east end. When the landlord raises the rent but still won’t fix anything, Barney decides it’s time to stop paying the rent. He persuades his new love, Kate, who lives in the same building, into an elabo- rate real estate scheme, designed to bring the landlord to his knees. The scheme also involves his buddies, Max and Boris, and eventually Kate’s estranged daughter Susan. “They’re at opposite ends of the social spectrum,” said Green. Barney is rough while Kate, a retired school teacher, is refined. “The opposites attract but they don’t see eye-to-eye on how things should be done or solved,” Green said. “Barney falls in love with Kate but doesn’t know how to tell her. Kate doesn’t want the relation- ship right now because she has other things on her plate.” Barney is played by Chris Cole and Kate by Ajax actress Fran Stecyk. Bill Baker is Boris, Mark Salonius is Max and Sheri Prescott is Susan. All are experi- enced actors. Once the run is over, Green intends to go over the play again, make some changes (he’s already made some) and see if he can find a publisher. “What I would really like to do is have another theatre company do it without my direction,” he said. This would allow him to get more feedback about the play and its staging. Green has written many books, includ- ing six children’s novels and two junior books. Another of his plays was staged by Durham Shoestring Performers. His stage play The Bargain was adapted as a one-hour special for Global Television a few years ago. His most recent work, The Eight Lost Notes, for orchestra and narrator, will soon be performed by the Oshawa Durham Symphony Orchestra. Another work, Harry’s Hippos, will be performed in Europe in 2008. Ticket information for You Can’t Dance to Mozart is available by calling 905-668- 2229 or going to www.classactdinnerthe- atre.com.

Whimsical vessels and vestments at Kent Farndale Gallery By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Good things come in pairs this summer at the Kent Farndale Gallery. On now is One Studio, Two Artists, a show by Oshawa couple Anne Labelle- Johnson and Tony Johnson. Coming up in August is Spiritscapes in Clay and Cloth, featuring works by two Oran- geville area artists, Pat Burns-Wendland and Rosemary Molesworth. Subtitled Two artists, two media, one idea, the exhibit will showcase the whimsical but functional pottery of Molesworth and the handwoven gar- ments of Burns-Wendland. The vessels and vestments are alive with sprightly spirits -- human, earthly and airborne -- in these new works. The show is pure flight of fancy and is a shared vision by both artists of the wild, untamed and imaginary -- angels, goddesses, herons, horses and moose run rampant across the pottery and gar- ments. Black, white, earth tones and bright spots of colour tie the objects together. But there’s more to it than that. Burns-Wendland admits she’s often inspired by Molesworth’s designs and will incorporate them into her works. “A lot of it is inspired by Rosemary’s pottery,” Burns-Wendland said. “She also does quite a lot of my buttons for me. I will design my garments around her buttons.” Burns-Wendland has been spinning for about 40 years and weaving for about 38. “Most of the yarn in my garments is dyed so I dye these as well. My mother started spinning many years ago. She was enthusiastic about it. It sort of bub- bled over into me. I started spinning and all of a sudden I had all this yarn.” So she started designing and mak- ing clothes. She doesn’t spin any more due to time constraints. Along the way, she got her master spinner’s designa- tion from the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners through Humber College and in 2000 graduated with honours in Sen- eca College’s dress-making and fashion arts program. Molesworth’s often humourous and highly stylized images come from an- cient cultures, rituals and the world around her. She uses clay slips, sten- cils, line drawings and sgraffito to depict her interpretations. She is a graduate of Queen’s University and Sheridan School of Crafts and Design. Both artists are award winners. The exhibit opened Aug. 11 and runs until Aug. 30 at the gallery, located in Scugog Memorial Public Library on Water Street.

Starting at 11 a.m. and continuing well into the night, Saturday’s concert is considered “the big event,” said the festival’s producer, Kerri King. “It’s just a great finale for us,” Ms. King said about Memorial Park’s day of musical entertain- ment. “We work so hard on this event all year and just seeing it all come together is amazing.” Ms. King has been working tirelessly with about 100 volunteers to bring the sixth installment of the festival to the community. The festivities kicked off Monday, with a Jazz Dinner Cruise and carried on throughout the week at locations across Oshawa. Along with Jazz and Blues, the festival also features a variety of other types of musical genres including folk, hard bop and R and B. Alexis Baro is a trumpet player in the hard bop group Kollage. Mr. Baro says the different sounds and genres blend nicely to make the festival so successful. “Different styles of music, that’s what makes a festival interesting,” he said. Mr. Baro was happy to return to the dynamic event and join the long list of performers includ- ing Laura Gauthier, Sultans of String and Jack DeKeyzer. Ms. King was pleased with the level of home- grown talent at this year’s festival. “We’ve just had an incredible lineup of mainly all Canadian talent ... and it’s been the best year yet, that’s for sure,” Ms. King said as she surveyed the grounds of Memorial Park. Tricia Sutton convinced her husband to take the weekend off work so the pair could enjoy the tunes pumping out of Memorial Park’s band- shell. “It’s nice to hear all the live music and see the kids and the people,” Ms. Sutton said as she bopped along to the Sultans of String. “But it’s also, I think, very good for the commu- nity as a whole... and I like to come out and par- ticipate even if it’s just as an audience member.” Preparations for next year’s festival may not be far away. Call Ms. King at 1-800-576-1086 if you’d like to be a part of the 2008 action.
