The issue of a leash-free dog park came to council for final approval recently after finally being passed by the executive com- mittee, following two years of preparation by the leash-free working group and Pickering Animal Services. But after receiving complaints about the proposed location at the Hydro Corridor on the east side of Valley Farm Road, north of Finch Avenue, council chose to defer it until more locations are chosen. The working group had come up with a number of locations, but after studying the different sites, the group and Pickering Animal Services thought the Hydro Corridor was the best place. But at the meeting, resident of the pro- posed area, Jacqueline Lappin, who has two dogs, and supports a leash-free park, said the Valley Farm location won’t work. The neighbourhood is plagued with drugs, she said, adding the area has seen recent ho- micides and grow-op seizures. What struck her most with the dog park proposal is the parking lot that would ac- company the park. “The last thing I think we need is a 24- hour car parking lot in a secluded area,” she said. She also said the speeding cars are dangerous for the dogs, and thinks the park will disrupt the wildlife in the area, including migratory birds, deer and foxes. In an e-mail circulated to its supporters, the working group said it supports council’s decision to look at other locations since it wants a park that’s safe, accessible and enjoyable for all. New locations should be ready for executive committee consideration in September or October, according to Chief Administrative Officer Tom Quinn. Leash back on Pickering dog park AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Kevin Chorley with his dogs Skipper, left, and Willy Bear, and Matt Wright and his dog Jasper, make use of the off-leash park at the corner of Clem- ents and Westney roads in Ajax. The City of Pickering is having trouble finding a location for a similar park, with the latest spot being dumped because of concerns about drug deals and wildlife. ‘The last thing I think we need is a 24-hour car parking lot in a secluded area.’ -- JACQUELINE LAPPIN Beijing 2008 gtaathletes.com Our Olympic athletes In-depth focus on GTA and Durham athletes participating in the XXIX Olympiad SPECIAL 28-PAGE INSERT durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 1, 2008 Suspect in 1974 killing released DURHAM — There’s been another remarkable twist in a murder mystery that has baffled the people of Dur- ham Region for more than 30 years. Alan Smith walked out of court a free man Thursday after the Crown announced it was withdrawing a charge of second-degree murder against him. Meeting with report- ers outside the courthouse Mr. Smith, flanked by fam- ily members and his lawyers, insisted he’s not the person who shot 22-year-old Beverly Smith in the back of the head almost 34 years ago. “I did not murder Beverly Smith,” said the 56-year-old Mr. Smith (no relation to the slain woman), his voice qua- vering as he faced a bank of TV cameras. “This has been a terrible ordeal for myself and my family,” he said. Mr. Smith wouldn’t com- ment on the police investiga- tion that led to charges being laid against him. The stunning development unfolded Thursday morning in an Oshawa courtroom when prosecutor Telena Mulligan told a justice of the peace the Crown was aban- doning a charge of second- degree murder against the Cobourg man. “There is no reasonable prospect of conviction and the police investigation is continuing,” Ms. Mulligan said. Outside court lawyer Tom Balka said the move marked vindication for an innocent man. “They got the wrong man on these charges,” Mr. Balka said. “He’s not guilty.” Mr. Balka said the case against Mr. Smith has been shaky from the start and his defence team had anticipated a long legal battle. “He was expecting this day to come but the fact that it’s here is obviously a relief.” Mr. Smith heard his charg- es withdrawn at about 10 a.m. but remained in custody at the King Street West court- house until 3:30 p.m., when he was finally processed and released. Throughout the day relatives and supporters kept a tense vigil, waiting as charg- es relating to Mr. Smith’s bail conditions in neighouring Northumberland County were withdrawn. Late in the afternoon he emerged, said a few words to reporters, then hopped into the front passenger seat of a blue pickup truck that whisked him out of the park- ing lot. Mr. Smith made national headlines last March when he was charged with second- degree murder in the kill- ing of Ms. Smith. The young mother was killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of the head in her Raglan home Dec. 9, 1974. The arrest came after a highly-publicized re-opening of the case by Durham Re- gional Police, who early this year held a press conference to appeal for information. A team of detectives and uni- formed cops conducted nu- merous interviews with wit- nesses first spoken to more than 30 years ago and fol- lowed new leads. Among those witnesses was Linda Smith, Al Smith’s ex-wife, with whom he lived in Raglan in the 1970s and who was with him when he discovered Beverly Smith’s body the night of the murder. Ms. Smith has since been charged by Durham police with obstruction of justice, a charge typically laid when police believe a witness has lied or failed to disclose infor- mation pertinent to an inves- tigation. Mr. Balka said it appears police relied heavily on in- formation provided by Linda Smith as they progressed with their investigation. “The case appeared to de- velop when Mr. Smith’s wife made a statement to police ... it appears that led to the arrest,” Mr. Balka said. Mr. Balka was critical of Durham police, who held a press conference that includ- ed statements from relatives of the slain woman follow- ing Mr. Smith’s arrest. He said press reports appearing after that media event all but con- victed Mr. Smith before he’d had his day in court. “It poisons the public’s mind against the person,” Mr. Balka said. “It implies the case is solved.” Durham homicide detec- tive J.J. Allan said the police service is not commenting on developments in the case. “At this stage the investiga- tion is ongoing,” he said. pickeringtowncentre.com YOUR TIME, SPENT WISELY The mall will be OPEN from 10am to 6pm on Monday, August 4th in celebration of the Civic Holiday.

Olympian Jayna Hefford, a three-time medalist as a member of the women’s hockey team, was in Dur- ham visiting three Royal Bank of Canada branches to sign autographs for fans who could also trade in some change for a new “lucky loonie.” The lucky loonie is a tra- dition that started at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City where a Canadian ice maker froze a dollar coin into centre ice before the hockey events. Canada’s men’s and women’s hockey teams both won gold that year. Ms. Hefford was one of the athletes who collected gold on the ‘lucky’ ice. “It’s always an honour to play for Team Canada and every time I have a chance to wear a Team Canada jersey it’s something that brings me a lot of pride.” The 2008 coin was re- leased July 23 and 10 mil- lion of the loonies have been produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The coins were designed by wildlife artist Jean-Luc Grondin from Quebec. The coin displays an image of a loon landing on the water. The mint distributed the loonie to each athlete on the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams heading to Beijing. The change on the dol- lar coin is a thrill for some collectors who come into the bank the day a coin is released “with big smiles on their faces,” said Chris Adams, manager of client care for the RBC branch on Victoria Street in Whitby. Many do not share the same enthusiasm or aware- ness that the coin has changed. “Most customers, to be honest, don’t notice,” he said. Regardless, the new coin is a chance for RBC to show its Olympic spirit, said Travis Capes, RBC regional vice president for Durham Region. “The launch of the Lucky Loonie has been a fantastic opportunity for RBC to cel- ebrate the Olympics in our community,” he said in a news release. “As the longest standing sponsor of the Olympics, we are proud to show our support and want to pass on as much luck and good fortune as we can.” *10% discount excludes: Women’s wear: ABS, Groupe JS Collection dresses & suits, Tahari suits, Andy Thê-Anh, Anne Klein New York, Bash, By Malene Birger, Ça Va de Soi, Chaiken Profi le, Dana Buchman, Ellen Tracy, Hoss, Laila, Lauren by Ralph Lauren, Mint, Norma Kamali, Tavãn & Mitto, Three Quarter, Tara Jarmon, Walter, BAIA Black Label, DKNYC sportswear.

No more quick fixes for old building By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Band-aid solu- tions at the Greenwood library fi- nally lost their glue this past win- ter, but upcoming repairs could change its fate. “We’ll do it once and do it right and hopefully the problems won’t persist,” said Ward 3 City Council- lor David Pickles. The library is currently board- ed up due to severe damage, but council approved $50,000 recently for repairs to the 1860s building. The library has seen declining use since the mid-90s (largely due to the wide-range of resources at the Central branch), while flooding this winter ruined the foundation and the furnace died. A number of residents attend- ed a recent public meeting after hearing the library could possibly close during budget discussions. At the meeting the Pickering Library Board said declining use has been prevalent, while users argued the Greenwood branch hours (Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m.) were not accommodating. Estimated costs are: $7,000 to replace damaged wood and dry- wall to address the leaky base- ment; $10,000 to repair the front access, side landing and stairs; less than $10,000 to reshingle the roof; and $15,000 to $25,000 to replace the washroom. Original estimates to repair the foundation alone were as high as $100,000, and council had to de- cide whether it was worth saving. Coun. Pickles put forward a mo- tion to put $50,000 into a contin- gency fund so if council chose to fix it up, money would be there. He was happy that once the estimates came in, council unani- mously agreed fixing it was worth- while. “Not everybody was support- ive at the time, but I think we’ve brought them around,” he said. The furnace will be replaced with a more efficient natural gas one, which will reduce emissions and be less costly to operate. The hours will change to better suit the residents and programs will be added to increase use. The new plan will be reviewed with Greenwood residents in the next couple of months, and the revised services will be evaluated every six months with the community, then sent to council. If all goes well, the library should reopen sometime in Sep- tember. £ÈÎxÊ6VÌÀ>Ê-ÌÀiiÌÊ >ÃÌ]Ê7ÌLÞ]Ê" ]Ê£ Ê7{ÊUÊ/ii«i\ÊäxxÇÇ{nÈÊUÊÜÜÜ°}vÌÜ°V£ÈÎxÊ6VÌÀ>Ê-ÌÀiiÌÊ >ÃÌ]Ê7ÌLÞ]Ê" ]Ê£ Ê7{ÊUÊÜÜÜ°}vÌÜ°V Annual Event !Clearance Up to 50% OFF * Up to 50% OFF name brand men’s and women’s golfwear* CLUBS Wilson ProStaff Driver (Mens)Orig $11999**........$50 Ben Hogan Sure Out Wedge Orig $9999**...................$60 Nike Golf Ignite Putters Orig $9999**........................$75 Paradise Carnivale Irons (Mens)Orig $16999**.....$100 Adams Golf Ovation 3 Irons (Mens)Orig $29999**$200 While quantities last.

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 1, 2008 durhamregion.com Not all services are good value for the tax dollars To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering designated an urban growth area’, News Advertiser, July 6 is inter- esting and relates to Jimmy Kalogris’s letter to the editor in the same issue. I recently received my municipal tax bill for 2008 – WHOW! Pondering the services we received for this grand sum, I came up with the following, which is not inclusive: • Number of items that are recyclable have been greatly reduced (No value for tax dollars here. Award the recycling tender to a company who will recycle more, not less). • The rejected recycling is now garbage (No value again). • Garbage collection is now once every two weeks (Yes, if recycling was better). • We eventually get our streets cleared of snow but too often the speeding plows shoot snow back onto the sidewalks, not to mention driveways. (Yes and no for value). • The power has gone out in my neigh- bourhood about a dozen times this spring. (No value here. The City should investigate the horrid quality of the delivery of electric- ity to homes in some parts of Pickering). • Why are parking tickets issued to visi- tors and residents who park in front of their own house during the day? (Selective tax for parking and no value for my tax dollars). • Dedicated City workers. (Good value). • Library system (Yes good value). • Regular policing and fire service (Good value). • Some councillors want to expand Pickering into Seaton and the Agricul- tural Preserve so they can generate more tax dollars to continue delivering some sub-standard services to more residents. (Definitely no value. Please, politicians of Pickering and Durham, get it right before we expand). Larry Noonan Pickering One year, two kids showed up at the door selling chocolates from the dollar store for an increased price of $2. Although it was referred to as a scam by some, in actuality it was admi- rable. Here were two kids, 10 or 11 years old, taking the initiative and making their own work. Why shouldn’t they have been paid more for the product? They went out and bought it, then brought it to households in their neighbourhood, sparing chocolate cravers from having to go out and get it themselves. It’s our responsibility as adults to sup- port and nurture the desire to work in youth; the only way to really do that is to give them a chance. Nothing feels better to a kid then having money they earned in their pocket. It’s their first taste of independence real- ly and it’s especially important for those between ages 12 to 14, who generally have a harder time finding work. This tender age group is when youth are old enough to be left at home without a babysitter and are starting down the path of self-discov- ery. They can be easily influenced to have a positive attitude and ethic toward work, or be pulled in a direction of idle hands doing the devil’s work. According to the Ministry of Labour, 14 is the minimum age to work at industrial establishments such as offices, stores, arenas, and restaurant serving areas. Age 15 is the minimum for most factories including restaurant kitchens, automotive service garages, produce and meat prepa- ration or shipping and receiving areas in grocery stores, laundries and warehouses. But, it can be hard for kids to get employers to give them a chance. To help the 12 to 14 age group in their quest for summer employment are some tips from Meagan Orozco, summer stu- dent co-ordinator with the John Howard Society of Durham Region. When submitting a resume, leave your age and grade off of it so employers can’t automatically dismiss you as too young, she said, Instead, put attending high school or working toward your Ontario Secondary School Diploma. For inter- views, talk, act and dress older – no jeans or T-shirts. Wear a dress shirt or any col- lared shirt instead. Jobs such as newspaper delivery, dog walking, and lawn mowing are some good ways to break into the job market, she said. Service Canada has an Odd Job Squad that can help hook kids up as well. Many kids also don’t know about accessing the hidden job market and cold calling. With a friend or parent, youth can go door to door letting people know they’re looking to cut lawns or do other jobs. While a paper route may not seem like a big deal to kids to add onto a resume, it helps them collect work experience and show an employer they’re committed and eager to work, Ms. Orozco said. The more people who know you’re look- ing for work, the more chances you have at getting something. The same goes with babysitting. Before summer, tell people you’re interested in doing some. To increase chances at get- ting a gig, students can take babysitting training courses, which include CPR, how to deal with choking, and caring for a baby. Kids can also visit the John Howard Society or other youth employment agen- cies to get help with their job search and resume development. Crystal Crimi’s column appears every third Friday. Email ccrimi@durhamregion.com. Just days until the Olympic flame is lit in Beijing T he countdown to Olympic glory is on. Just seven more sleeps until the world’s very best athletes complete their lifelong dream to compete with the entire planet watching. There is nothing else quite like the Olym- pics. Billions of dollars are spent by the host country in a seven-year plan to impress billions of people around the world. Just take a look at the futuristic venues the Chinese organizers have built. The bird’s nest main stadium, the water cube swim- ming facility, the spaceship-like gymnastics hall . . . just about everything built for these Games has an otherworldly touch. More than 10,000 athletes are now descending on Beijing, many of them com- ing to China for the very first time. Fans from all continents will also be there, eager to soak up some culture from one of the world’s most fascinating countries. There will be wall-to-wall media cover- age on a multitude of networks. But to get an inside perspective on how athletes from Durham are faring, there is no better place to turn to than www.gtaathletes.com. Click on that website and you’ll get insight, features and all the latest information from Torstar media reporters, including Dur- ham’s own Brad Kelly and Ron Pietroniro. Brad and Ron have plenty of experience covering athletics and will be in Beijing for the duration to write and photograph the likes of 100-metre hurdler Priscilla Lopes- Schliep of Whitby, 100-metre runner Anson Henry of Pickering and many others. There are concerns that Chinese authori- ties will attempt to control information and restrict activities of media members and spectators alike while in the Communist country. But it’s to be hoped that, at least while the Olympics take place, the best and the brightest can shine and the full story involving all the drama of the Games can be witnessed. The motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is essential to the Olympic spirit. So is the feeling of one world coming together to celebrate what is truly best about our civi- lization and about all the diversity, colours and cultures mankind exhibits. May these Games be the best ever.

E., Whitby ON, L1N 6A3 Question: I have a pet. What options do I have for dealing with her “waste”? (Especially since my garbage is collected every two weeks. Help!) 1. Bag the waste material along with your regular garbage and place it at the curb for your bi-weekly collection. Please remember each garbage bag must not exceed the maximum weight of 20 Kg (44 lbs.) 2. Bury the pet waste in your backyard or use a pet waste composter such as the Doggy Dooley (Doggie Dooley ® units are available through www.doggiedooley.com or by calling 1-419-483-3501). 3. Flush the pet waste down the toilet. If pet waste is handled and stored properly between pick-ups, it does not pose a health hazard: • Bag the waste and store in a container with a tight fi tting lid to prevent insects, animals and other pests from gaining access. Please note: Garbage will not be collected from containers in Oshawa and Whitby. • Store garbage bins in a cool location when possible to keep odours to a minimum. • Practice good hand-washing after handling garbage to prevent illness. Question: My Green Bin sometimes smells bad, any tips on how to control this? Due to the contents of the Green Bin, there might be a slight odour.

ASK KATHERINEASK KATHERINEASK KATHERINE THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 1, 2008 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com Pickering resident a ‘true pioneer’ PICKERING — Murray Skinner, the recently retired president of Metroland Media Group Ltd., is set to receive the Suburban Newspapers of America’s (SNA) highest achievement award. Mr. Skinner will receive the Dean S. Lesher Award for his leadership during a 33-year career that began at the Richmond Hill Liberal. He worked his way up to be- come Metroland’s vice-president of marketing where he served for 19 years before being named company president in 2000. The Pickering resident said he’s thrilled to get the award. “I think I’m only the second Cana- dian ever to win it, which is quite nice,” said Mr. Skinner, who is the 27th recipient of the award. “Murray Skinner is a true pioneer in our indus- try. Among other tremen- dous accomplishments, the development of the qual- ity distribution program at Metroland has become the gold standard that advertis- ers request and many other newspapers emulate,” said Betsy Wilson, chairwoman of the Dean Lesher Award Committee. “Murray has been very generous in sharing his ex- pertise and success formu- las with newspaper com- panies throughout North America. I am very pleased to have had the honour of informing Murray Skinner that he is this year’s recipi- ent of this very prestigious award. “No one is more deserv- ing.” The nominating com- mittee also recognized Mr. Skinner for his tireless passion and promotion of community media and for driving home the value of community journalism and leadership. During Mr. Skinner’s tenure, Metroland newspapers have won more local, regional, provincial, na- tional and North American awards for excellence than ever before. However, he said it isn’t just about him, but all of Metroland. “This award is coming to my name, but it’s re- ally an award for the kind of innovation being done throughout the company,” said Mr. Skinner. During his time at Metroland, the company has become the leading community media compa- ny in Canada. In May, Mr. Skinner was awarded an honourary lifetime membership in the Canadian Community Newspapers Association (CCNA), the organization’s highest honour. As well, a new CCNA award was cre- ated in his honour. Mr. Skinner will accept his award in October in Minneapolis at an SNA con- ference. Retired Metroland president wins prestigious award Murray Skinner Twenty two stores also convicted of selling tobacco to under-19 year olds By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — An Oshawa tat- too parlour briefly shut down by Durham’s health department last summer and six Pickering restau- rants were among those convicted of violations under Ontario’s Health Protection and Promotion Act since January. The conviction against Oshawa’s Longhorn Custom Body Art stems from last summer when the Region temporarily shut down the parlour after finding a malfunctioning auto- clave, which sterilizes the tattooing equipment. The tattoo shop was convicted of knowingly furnishing false infor- mation to a public health inspector and fined $5,000. Among the list of restaurants, Pickering’s New Style Restaurant Buffet, on Kingston Road, faced the longest list of convictions with six. This included two convictions for storing food at an improper tem- perature. The restaurant was fined $700 for the violations and received suspended sentences for four other charges, which included failing to ensure floors and the walls in the food handling room were kept clean. John Ingrao, manager of envi- ronmental services for Durham Re- gion’s health department. said four of the violations were tried after the first two and no fines were imposed because the restaurant had met standards, however the convictions were recorded. “That was all recti- fied and they were able to maintain a compliant operation,” he said. The Bourbon Street Grill in Pickering Town Centre was fined a total of $750 as a result of three con- victions, including failing to keep the wall of food handling rooms clean, failing to ensure equipment surfaces washed as necessary. Also in Pickering Town Centre, the Bagel Stop was fined $245 after an op- erator failed to wash hands before resuming work. Winston Shagwell’s, also on Kingston Road, was fined a total of $1,000 for two convictions, fail- ing to ensure the floor in the food handling room was kept clean and failing to ensure a facility surface was washed as necessary. The Friendly Greek Restaurant, on Kingston Road, was fined $25 after an employee failed to wear headgear while working with food, and Sunrise Grill, also on Kingston Road, was fined $95 for failing to provide soap or detergent in a food preparation area. As well, 22 busi- nesses were convicted of selling or supplying tobacco to a person under age 19 under the Smoke Free Ontario Act.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 1, 2008 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com What’s going on in your community? eventnow.ca Last two months were ‘wet, wet, wet’ By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It looks like August is going to be “nor- mal,” but compared to June and July experienced here, that could all but seem like drought, says Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips. That may be good news to those who waited to take holidays in August, said an- other forecaster. “August looks like it’s going to be hot and dry,” said Jill Taylor, meteorolo- gist with 680News. “But, having said that, I have to say, weather is always changing.” June and July were “wet, wet, wet,” Mr. Phillips said Wednesday, as he awaited confirmation we’d received the tenth of a millimetre necessary to put July in the record books for rainfall. “We had already broken the record for the wettest June and July on record” by July 23, Mr. Phillips said. Wednesday’s rain would no doubt send it over the top for the wettest July since they started keeping track. Not only has there been a lot of rain, but there have been more thunderstorms than usual thus far this summer. “We’ve had 33 thunder- storm hours, compared with eight to this point last year,” Mr. Phillips said. “What happens when you get thunderstorms is you get these heavy rainfalls.” For example, on July 20, 51.2 millimetres of rain was reported at Pearson Airport, Ms. Taylor said. In an aver- age month, this area would get about 70 millimetres. “That’s crazy, to get 51 millimetres of rain in one go,” Ms. Taylor said. But not all is lost -- up until Wednesday, there had been only one day in July in which the sun didn’t shine for at least a portion of the day. “The nature of thunderstorms means that sometimes you have thun- derstorms and then, two hours later, you have sun- shine,” Mr. Phillips said. Temperatures have been “warmer than normal, but you wouldn’t know it be- cause of all the rain we’ve had.” The number of smog days is also down, with nine so far this year, compared with 21 to this point last year, Mr. Phillips said. July was half a degree warmer than nor- mal, on average, while June was two degrees higher. “But the number of days where we were above 30 (degrees Celsius) are way down.” Lush lawns and soc- cer fields are also testament to the “upside” of having received so much rain, Ms. Taylor said. Many meteorologists be- lieve a phenomenon known as La Nina -- a cooling of water in the Pacific -- may be partially responsible for the wet weather, she said. It was also likely responsible for the heavier-than-normal snowfall this past winter. Traditionally, “the end of July marks the end of La Nina,” Ms. Taylor said. Forecasts indicate August is likely to be normal, Mr. Phillips said. “We’re calling for ‘near- normal’ but that will be like a drought in terms of rain, compared with what we’ve had,” he said.

Nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture, actor (William Hurt), best director and screenplay, the film would earn an Oscar for Hurt, solidifying his reputation as one of the fine new American film actors of his generation. Hurt would earn two more consecu- tive best actor nods before being snubbed for what I consider his best work, The Accidental Tour- ist (1988), and beginning a low, painful decent into oblivion, finally making a comeback these last few years. Kiss of the Spider Woman was based on the book of the same name by Manuel Uig, and adapted for the screen by writer Leonard Schrader. Brazilian director Hector Babenco came aboard hot off the success of the film Pixote (1982). He was the perfect choice for the tough character study. Hurt is Molina, an effeminate homosexual imprisoned in a harsh hellhole for statutory rape, his cellmate the political prisoner Val- entin (Raul Julia). Molina passes the time recounting memories from his favourite mov- ies, much to the anger of his cellmate, who believes that Molina’s beliefs are fluffy and have no place in the world. But as Molina chips away at Valentin, the man opens up to him and allows him into his world. An un- likely friendship develops when Molina tends to Valentin after he is poisoned by the guards. They are the most bizarre of couples, the po- litical prisoner being poisoned by his jailers and the gay prisoner, slowly breaking down the homophobia of his cellmate, revealing a considerate, caring and kind man under- neath. From the first moment he is on screen, Hurt is the character, in the manner in which great ac- tors inhabit their roles. He never overplays the homosexual- ity of the character, but there is something decidedly femi- nine about him throughout the film and something more, something terribly tragic and sad. His Oscar was a surprise but entirely deserving, and in his speech he thanked his partner on screen, who also should have been nominated. Wargames (1983) Directed by John Badham In this day and age of high-tech video games comes the re-release of Wargames, a fine little thriller that seemed like fantasy so long ago yet now is all too real. David Lightman (Mat- thew Broderick) is a computer geek teen who often goes into his high school’s computer main frame and changes his grades, staying out of trouble for the most part. By accident, he hacks his way into the National Defense Department’s system and engages a game called Global Thermonuclear War, without realizing he has set off what could be the Third World War. The military believes the Russians have aimed their missiles at the U.S. and are preparing to do the same before David real- izes what he is doing is not a game, sort of. He becomes locked in a race against time to find the creator of the game, created for the military as training devices before the army gets their hands on him, or worse, before one of the two super powers thinks the other is about to launch and does so for real. Broderick made his major debut and be- came a star over night; a quirky, original actor, he was the perfect choice to take the geek out of computer geek. And John Wood is superb as the computer genius who created the game before realizing what had he had done could bring the planet to destruction. As thrillers go, Wargames is terrific entertainment, but, with the advances in video games, has become also something of a cautionary tale.

Contact him at jfoote@IAOD.com Buick parade cranks up festivities at Parkwood By Betty Zyvatkauskas A century after the McLaughlin Motor Car Company produced its first Buick, the McLaughlin family’s automotive legacy is celebrated at Parkwood, the grand former home of Canada’s first auto mag- nate. The free annual family festival on Aug. 4, McLaughlin Day in Oshawa, is expected to attract some 2,000 visitors on for vintage entertainment that evokes the early days of motoring. Members of the McLaughlin Buick Car Club will drive some 100 pre-Second World War Buicks through Oshawa starting at 10 a.m. in a homecoming parade to Parkwood where they’ll be piped through the gates, a fitting welcome for the car that moved Os- hawa out of the horse-drawn carriage days and into the automotive era. The vintage cars, including a fully restored original Model F dating back to the days when windshields were a $50 optional extra, remain on display throughout the day, both at Parkwood and the adjacent St. Gregory Church. Old-fashioned entertainments, including egg-in-spoon races and marionette pup- pet shows, keep youngsters well entertained while storyteller George Blake shares his ac- count of R.S. McLaughlin’s rags-to-riches life. Guided walking tours focus on the architec- tural significance of Parkwood’s neighbour- ing homes. Mini-tours ($5) of Parkwood’s ground floor offer a teasing glimpse of man- sion’s glories. Bring lawn chairs to enjoy the Bruce Gorrie Trio’s jazz concert on the mansion’s south terrace or dancing shoes to learn how to jitterbug or Charleston with Rhythm Dynamix’ 1920s dance demonstra- tions. www.parkwoodestate.com. In keeping with the automotive-themed celebrations, Pingle’s Fun Farm on Taunton Road, in Courtice, east of Oshawa, has carved a massive antique Buick into the eight-acre corn maze that opens Aug. 1. www.pingles- farmmarket.com. The Grand Prix of Mosport brings some of the world’s top-level cars and drivers to the track’s major event of the year. The Aug. 21 to 24 event, billed as Canada’s biggest sports car race, will feature the two Audi R10 TDIs that have been consistent winners this year. Expect them to reach speeds of up to 340 kilometers per hour on the track’s long back straight. Spectators should arrive early. Mosport is a big circuit so it takes time to explore and find that perfect place to watch the action -- possibly corner 10 near the front straight, the start/finish straight, the top of corner 2 or the famous Moss Corner 5, named after Sir Stirling Moss. Take a chair, hat and umbrella -- they race in the rain at Mosport. The race team paddock area offers specta- tors a close-up look the cars and a chance to chat with the drivers. www.mosport.com/ alms08.htm. Betty Zyvatkauskas is a Durham Tourism writer.

The band will hit the stage at the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion on Monday, Aug. 4, from 3 to 7 p.m. It’s being held in the legion’s club room, which will be open to the public for the performance, although legion dress code and rules will still apply. The five-piece band has never played at the Ajax Legion, although all band members are from Durham Region. The band plays a mix of classic rock, blues and country, in- cluding some of its own tunes. Over the past five years, the group has played around Ontario and parts of the United States. Having a band play in the club room is a bit of departure for the le- gion, as it’s usually one- or two-piece acts that perform there. The Ajax Legion is at 111 Hunt St. You can visit its website at www.rc- lajax.com.

Katherine Lawrence, 16, of Ajax, and Christine Exeter, 15, of Pickering, played major roles in helping Team Ontario bring home the gold medal from the 2008 BMO National Championships U-16 Girls All Stars in Sherwood Park, Alberta last weekend. All 10 provinces were represented at the national showcase. The Ontarians finished with a 4-1 record, good enough for gold ahead of Quebec (silver) and Alberta (bronze). Ontario earned wins over Newfoundland and Labrador (3-0), Alberta (3-1), Nova Scotia (2-0) and British Columbia (4-2). The lone blemish on their record was a 1-1 tie with Quebec. Ontario’s final game of the tour- nament against B.C. had height- ened significance as the victory kept the Ontarians ahead of Quebec in the battle for gold. Exeter rose to the fore for Ontario, scoring all four goals in the winning cause. It was not something she thought she could do, but the Ontario striker was glad to emerge as a pivotal per- former in the crucial game. “It was good,” says Exeter. “It was not expected, but I knew I was able to do it based on my skills.” In fact, Exeter won the tourna- ment’s ‘Golden Boot’ award as the top goal scorer, finishing with eight goals in five games. “I think I worked really hard for it. I never would have thought, going into the tournament, that I would get it,” she said. For Exeter, her incredible na- tional tournament for Ontario was proof positive she belonged on the provincial squad at nationals. She was left off the U14 team at the last national championships two years ago in Saskatchewan. “I was cut from the under-14 team, so it made me work harder to get to it this time. Experiencing it (nationals) and winning gold was the best feeling. It was an objective and goal we set and that’s what we were going for -- nothing less than winning it. It was amazing.” For Lawrence, nationals repre- sented a chance to help Ontario repeat as gold medallists, as she also won gold with Ontario as an U14 player two years ago. She was one of six players on the Ontario U16 squad that won gold in 2006 at the U14 Girls All Stars in Saskatoon. Lawrence, who played the cen- tre back and full-back positions for Team Ontario, says it was a simple matter of being hungrier for gold than the other provincial squads. “I think we just wanted it more AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Katherine Lawrence, left, of Ajax, and Christine Exeter, of Pickering, show the gold medals they won as part of the On- tario U16 soccer team that captured the gold medal at the recent BMO National Soccer Championships in Sherwood Park, Alberta. The Ontario girls posted a 4-1 record, needing a big 4-2 victory over B.C. to clinch the championship. Exeter scored all four goals against B.C. and later was awarded the ‘Golden Boot’ Award as the tournament’s top goal scorer.✦ See Soccer, Page 18 Iroquois Hockey School Iroquois Park Recreation Complex, Whitby A FULL DAY HOCKEY AND RECREATIONAL CAMP August 18th to August 22nd, 2008 Suitable for Rep to House League.

Our goal was to win gold and we weren’t willing to let it fade away.” Lawrence noted any one of Quebec, Nova Scotia and B.C. had legitimate shots of dislodging Ontario from top spot at nationals. “All those teams actually played pretty well,” she said. “I knew we had to go into each game with a bit more fight.” Lawrence said the process to form the Ontario U16 began in earnest last October when identified players for the team trained four days a week at the Ontario Soccer Association indoor facility in Vaughan. Team Ontario reconvened in July for a two-day camp where 22 players took part. In the week prior to leaving for Alberta, four players were cut from the squad, leaving 18 on the Ontario team to vie for the national title in the age group. And, even though she was a champion two years ago, Law- rence notes winning gold never grows old. “No, definitely not,” she said. “It’s a great feeling.” Fast facts With national gold medals around their necks, Katherine Lawrence and Christine Exeter will now turn their attention to more winning with their Ajax Storm U16 Ontario Youth Soccer League squad. The duo -- entering Grade 11 at Pickering High School — has the Storm perched high in the OYSL standings, currently battling with the Mississauga Falcons for overall supremacy. The Storm currently own a stellar 10-1-1 record thus far in OYSL play. ••• In addition to being soccer players, Lawrence and Exeter have excelled at track and field with the Pickering High Trojans track and field team under head coach Cyril Sahadath. Both qualified to compete at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships earlier this summer in their respective events. ✦ Soccer from page 17 Michael Jurysta photo Out at second PICKERING — The Burbs’ shortstop David Jackson gets Brewers’ Marco Racioppa out on second base during Pickering Men’s Slo-Pitch League ‘C’ Division action at Dunmoore Park recently.

The Pickering U10s, which finished second overall in preliminary play, faced top- ranked Newmarket in the championship contest. Game most valuable player Gillian Panuncailman scored the lone goal on a penalty shot for a narrow 1-0 victory. Pickering opened up against the Lake Simcoe Chillies in a game that was delayed for more than half an hour due to lightning. Pickering eventually scored a 3-2 win. Alyssa Oke, Sara Lu- pinacci and Katerina Scheep- stra scored. Oke was chosen game MVP. Next, the Pickering U10s squared off against the Fer- gus-Elora Rovers in a com- petitive contest. After a long stretch of scoreless soccer, Pickering came alive with two goals by Leah Betts and Sabrina Nasner. Those goals stood up in a 2-0 Pickering victory. Panuncail- man earned MVP honours. Pickering played Newmarket in Game 3, with Newmarket needing a win to advance to the final. Newmarket fought hard in the defensive zone for the ball and won a number of challenges. They also showed off their offensive prowess en route to a 4-0 shutout win over Pickering. Amara Pitt was chosen as MVP. Team members are Leah Betts, Amber Haney, Sara Lu- pinacci, Alexandra Marchese, Sabrina Nasner, Alyssa Oke, Alicia Opatowski, Gillian Pa- nuncailman, Amara Pitt, Ste- fanie Rosati, Katerina Scheep- stra, Kelsey Stewart, Megan Stoiber and Sheah Ward.

He truly enriched the lives of many and it is simply impossible to put into words how much he will be missed by his family and friends. Norm was born in Liverpool, England on May 16, 1940. A true Evertonian and an avid footballer, he was also an accomplished guitarist and became a member of the De- mons, a skiffle group that often played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. On occasion the Demons even competed against a lesser group called the Silver Beatles who soon left for Hamburg and were never heard from again. In 1960 Norm married Alma, his wife of 48 years. They had two children, Sean and Leah, before the family decided to immigrate to Canada in 1973, a move that was in large part due to Norm's ambitious and adventur- ous spirit. Norm immediately fell in love with this country and its limitless beauty and op- portunity. After settling in Canada, Jay soon became the youngest and most expensive member of the Kearney clan. Norm was high- ly accomplished in his career and worked for over thirty years for Ontario Hydro and Onta- rio Power Generation where he tackled in- creasingly challenging roles and managerial responsibilities. More recently, he worked with Bruce Power in Kincardine, Ontario on a project that he greatly enjoyed. He took tre- mendous pride in his work and was a much loved colleague. Norm also never tired of learning and education, and completed a de- gree in psychology in 1998. Those who were fortunate enough to know Norm were well aware of his passion for so much in life. He loved to travel the world with Alma and they toured throughout Australia, New Zealand and continental Europe in recent years. Norm was also a voracious reader with a particular interest in American and military history. He also played an active role over the years in the Mariposa Folk Festival and continued to delight friends whenever he picked up a gui- tar and sang one of his favourites. Above all else, Norm will be remembered for his great wit and sense of humour, his generosity and his unique talent for touching the lives of eve- rybody he met along the way. Norm was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and was at his happiest with his family. The family that he created with Alma was his greatest achievement and a never ending source of pride. He was our biggest supporter and champion and instilled in all of us a belief that we could achieve anything that we set our minds to. He will be forever missed by his wife Alma, his children Sean, Leah and Jay and their spouses (Warren and Karen), his four grandchildren: Aidan, Rory, Bridget and Declan, and his sister and family back in England .A memorial service to celebrate Norm's life will take place at Deer Creek Golf Club, 2700 Audley Rd. N, Ajax from 2-4 pm on Thursday, August 7. In lieu of flowers, we would ask that donations be made in Norm's memory to Trent University, Greatest Need Bursary Trust, Development Office, 1600 West Bank Drive, Peterborough, ON K9J 7B8 (705-748-1601). A Book of Condolence may be signed at www.mceachnie-funeral.ca FRANKLIN,John -February 8, 1920 – July 29, 2008, peacefully at Ballycliffe nursing home.

Trish French, Sales Representative with Remax Rouge River Realty Ltd., Brokerage says that real estate agents across Scarborough and Durham Region are rescheduling open houses to the middle of the week in order to better accommodate the busy weekends many people have during the summer. “There’s so many things that go on in the summer on weekends,” French says. “This way, the buyer doesn’t have to miss the open houses they truly want to see because they’re away for the weekend.” French says that weeknights are ideal for house hunting because people can stop in to local open houses on their way home from work, as the properties they’re looking at are likely in their neighbourhood. They’ll also have more free time to attend the many weddings, sports tournaments, and cottage trips that summer weekends often offer. Starting July 9 in Scarborough and July 10 in Durham Region, many real estate agents from companies such as Remax, Royal LePage, Prudential, Sutton Group, and Coldwell Banker will be holding evening open houses. Homes that will be having the midweek open house will be marked with a yellow banner attached to the For Sale sign. Depending on how the summer weeknight open houses go, agents may keep them going through the fall, too. And with all the extra time agents will have to help their buyers on weekends, it will be hard for this idea not to take off. “I see this as a real advantage for serious buyers to be able to stay on top of the houses on the market and be able to enjoy their summertime without family timing confl icts,” French says.
