The incident prompted Durham police to issue a warning about intervening when crime is occurring. Spokesman Dave Selby said people ought to call police when they see a crime in progress but counselled against getting directly involved. “If you see a dangerous situation unfold- ing keep a safe distance and contact us,” Mr. Selby said. “There are other ways you can help without putting your life in danger.” The Pickering drama began at about 4 p.m. Friday when an employee at a Mac’s Milk store on Kingston Road was assaulted and robbed as he walked to his vehicle with the day’s deposits, Mr. Selby said. A man in the area gave pursuit and caught up with the bandit, who turned and confronted the citizen with a large knife.

Through a group at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Mr. Boland is trying to raise awareness about the negative impacts of bottled water, from health, environ- ment, and social viewpoints. “The ultimate goal is to educate people,” said Mr. Boland, a founder and spokesman for the group. He’s entering his second year at the UOIT, where he’s pursuing a bachelor of science in physics and a bachelor of education. The bottle campaign only recently started, but has been recognized as a group by the UOIT Student Association, which provides some funding, space for events, meetings, a booth at orientation, and the ability to put up posters around campus. Mr. Boland became interested in eliminat- ing plastic bottles while attending All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby a couple years ago. There, he was on its development and peace committee and attended a confer- ence which featured researchers discussing the impact of plastic bottles. “The majority of them end up in our land- fills,” Mr. Boland said. There’s also lots of pollution that goes into fabricating them and fossil fuels to transport them. “So we’re hitting the environment three times which is definitely contributing to global warm- ing,” Mr. Boland said. Then there are the health risks associated with drinking bottled water. Some studies say toxic contaminates can leach into the water over time, Mr. Boland said. Traces of other contaminates can be found as well. Those things are only present in small amounts, but consuming them every day could cause problems. One of the chemicals that can be found is antimony, known to cause nausea, dizziness, and depression, he said. “From a social justice perspective, water is life,” Mr. Boland said. Bottling water is privatizing something essen- tial to life; it’s 240 to 10,000 times more expen- sive than tap water, he said. If preference boils down to the taste differ- ence, he suggests using a water filter or filling up a jug and putting it in the fridge overnight. “Sometimes, the temperature has a lot to do with it,” Mr. Boland said. If transporting water is an issue, a reusable metal water bottle has no risk associated, he said. Some people also think tap water is danger- ous - the major reason for which he says is likely the marketing of bottled water showing it as clean and pure. “Tap water is very vigorously tested daily by experts,” he said. “It’s certainly safe to drink.” Municipal water facilities also have to dis- close information on water quality. About 40 per cent of bottled water comes from tap, he added. Mr. Boland hopes the water group can turn into a multi-university campaign. Initiatives the group is planning include a conference at the university with researchers and a tap water challenge with taste tests to determine if people can tell the difference be- tween tap and bottled water. Mr. Boland’s also been invited to speak about the campaign at a provincial environmental ad- visory committee meeting in Oshawa this fall, he said. People can show support by joining the Face- book group at facebook.com/group.php?gid=2 5193951431&ref=ts, and reading the eight rea- sons for acting, as well as telling friends and inviting them to join, and becoming a club member if they attend Durham College, Trent, or UOIT. Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Anthony Boland is part of a group that is campaigning to get people to stop buying bottled water because of the impact plastic has on the environment. Campaign encourages use of tap water Repatriation ceremony to come through Ajax and Pickering today DURHAM — An Edmon- ton-based soldier killed in an insurgent attack Monday has become the second Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan in the last three days. Master Cpl. Erin Doyle, of the 3rd Battalion Prin- cess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, was killed in the Panjwai district of Afghanistan early Monday when a group of as many as 10 insurgents attacked the combat outpost he was stationed at. According to a military spokesman, Canadian soldiers returned fire and called in air support. A second soldier injured in the attack was taken to the hospital at Kandahar air- field for treatment. Master Cpl. Doyle is the 90th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan since the conflict began in 2002. This was his third tour in the country. He is survived by his wife, Nicole, and daughter Zarine. The attack that killed major Cpl. Doyle came just days after Master Cpl. Josh Roberts was killed during a firefight in the Zhari dis- trict of the province. An investigation into the Saturday firefight that killed Cpl. Roberts is still ongoing but it is suspected a passing private security convoy may have acciden- tally opened fire on Ca- nadian troops when they engaged with a group of about 15 insurgents. The repatriation for Master Cpl. Roberts will be held Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 2 p.m. in Trenton. The ceremonial proces- sion along the Highway of Heroes is expected to pass through Durham region around 3:30 p.m. At Parkway Retirement Residence, we provide all inclusive services and programs to enhance your independent lifestyle.

Comments must be received within the 30-day comment period, which expires on September 12, 2008. At this time, MNR will consider all comments that address the potential impacts of the wind testing activities as proposed by the applicant. Any approval of future wind farm development scenarios will require completion of a separate EA and public consultation process. The proposal is being planned in accordance with a Category B project under the Class EA for MNR Resource Stewardship and Facility Development Projects. A Notice of Completion will be provided only to parties who have provided input or requested further notice. MNR may proceed to authorize the wind exploration project without issuing a further general notice. In addition to the MNR EA requirements, the proposal is also subject to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), as it is anticipated that a federal trigger (relating to fund allocation) will occur. A CEAA Screening will take place to seek formal Federal approvals.

Only Crown Land is being considered. The Land Use Permit and the Application of Record Status are used to secure the right to use the Crown land area approved for exploration, on condition that all MNR requirements, including Environmental Assessment (EA) requirements, are met. The proposal is part of a possible two year exploration phase to determine the potential economic viability for the development of wind energy facilities. To conduct the wind testing, Toronto Hydro proposes to construct an anemometer platform. An anemometer platform is a stand-alone structure with no moving parts that would be affi xed to the lake-bottom, but would be removable after it has served its purpose. The structure would have the following general dimensions/characteristics: • A structural steel platform in approximately 15 m of water extending from lake bottom to approximately 4 m above lake water level with a width of approximately 5 m; and • An anemometer instrument, auxiliary power system and navigation beacons located atop this platform. Additional project details and drawings are available on the Toronto Hydro website at the following address – www.torontohydroenergy.com/offshorewind. The specifi c location would be determined following a non-intrusive geotechnical study of the lake bottom area, which would confi rm the type and quality of lake-bed soils. Following this study the optimal location would be selected with the least possible disruption to the lake bottom.

The German shepherd-mix is in the care of the service, said Clayton Weller, a senior bylaw officer for Ajax. “The dog was signed over to our care. It’s in our care and not the owner’s care,” he said. The family of the animal is co-operating with authorities, and the dog will be euthanized. An officer with the animal services found the dog and seized it, Mr. Weller said. “The good news is we got the dog and it’s not in the neighbourhood,” Mr. Weller said. On Wednesday, Aug. 6, around 10 p.m., a 16- year-old girl and two friends came upon the dog running free in north Ajax. After petting the dog for about 10 minutes, the girl stopped and was then attacked by the dog. The animal bit the girl in the face and her friends had to pry the dog off. The dog eventually let go and ran off. The victim was taken to the hospital by a nearby homeowner, where she received stitches. Dog that bit girl found, euthanized Ajax teenager, 17, charged with robbery and assault with a weapon Seek and you shall find 411durhamregion.comThe suspect swiped at the man, “narrowly miss- ing him,” Mr. Selby said. Witnesses helped police trail a suspect to a home on Walnut Lane. Cops surrounded the house and made contact with the people inside, eventually arresting seven males. Six of those people were released after questioning and police charged one, a 17-year-old Ajax male, with rob- bery, assault with a weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon. ✦ Ajax from page 1 DURHAM — Two men face several charges after Durham Regional Police seized four guns from a north Ajax home. The arrests were part of an on- going investigation into a home invasion in Oshawa on July 28 in which a man was shot in the arm. Officers with 17 Division (Os- hawa) Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) and the Offender Management Unit (OMU) arrest- ed the two men. Police believe one of the men, an 18-year-old, was one of six males involved in the home invasion. Durham police don’t believe the other male was involved in the home invasion, but was ar- rested because of the firearms seized. The two were arrested around 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7 at the Ajax home. While searching the house, po- lice found three shotguns, one rifle, two pellet guns, a sword and 30 rounds of ammunition. Nicholas Hunte, 18, of no fixed address, faces 15 charges, includ- ing discharging a firearm, care- less use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, robbery, possessing dan- gerous weapons, breaking and entering, using a firearm while committing an offence, obstruct- ing police, possession of a con- trolled substance (marijuana), using a disguise and two counts of breaching a prohibition order. Joshua Gillett, 20, of Fishlock Street in Ajax, has been charged with three counts each of care- less storage of a firearm, possess- ing a dangerous weapon, unli- censed possession of an unregis- tered firearm and possessing an unauthorized firearm. He’s also been charged with possessing a restricted firearm with ammuni- tion and possessing a weapon obtained by crime. The two men were held for a bail hearing. The Durham police continue to look for three other suspects in the home invasion. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Rob Moore at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 3617, or Detective Constable Sheri Tate at ext. 2740.

I have to say in response to this whole lawnmower man story that people seem to be defending this man and supporting him. My opinion is that if bylaw officers have to get involved and this man needed to complain to the news for support, then there is obviously something wrong. As far as I’m concerned Pickering has great bylaw officers who keep this city clean and safe. In the news Councillor Bill McLean said he was “embarrassed” by what was going on. What’s embarrassing is that Coun. McLean didn’t support his own team of officers in his city. The law is the law. Whether ‘lawnmower man’ is guilty or not, police officers and bylaw officers are obligated to investigate when something is reported to them. If not then we would have dirty vacant lots, loud music blasting every night, garbage rolling along the roads and election signs blocking the view of our roadways. I’m proud to be a Pickering citizen. I’ve lived here going on 29 years. I follow the city’s bylaws. I don’t park in handicap park- ing or fire routes, I keep my home clean and my noise level to a minimum. I don’t park over the sidewalk and I respect the parks my kids play in. Everyone needs to start supporting the bylaw officers instead of trying to bring them down for following their job outline. If you don’t like a law, complain to the mayor and do your best to have it changed. It’s not the bylaw officers’ fault for doing their job properly. Be thankful we have them. If you don’t like the laws, move. Meredith Clark Pickering In defence of Mr. Fix-it To the editor: Re: ‘Will Mr. Fix-it go to court?’, News Advertiser, July 18. This man deserves the Order of Canada, not a day in court. Perhaps if more children had this type of role model, we wouldn’t need to replace burned-down park equip- ment. Quote me in court if you want. This is simply wrong - and a symptom of our society gone wrong. By the way, what “business” do you know that works for free? Define “business”. Nancy Logan Pickering Let’s bring back capital punishment To the editor: Don’t you think with all the crime we have in this country, that people are put away for silly things? And when they do something that is real bad they get a slap on the hand and let go free. Maybe the law should change back again to years ago when we had capital punish- ment and maybe some of the violence might stop. Forget about the young offend- ers. If you do the crime you should do the time. We have DNA and it helps keep inno- cent people out of jail or prison. Thee criminals should go to prison, they should have never taken capital punish- ment away. I can’t believe how many people plead insanity. Let’s get this country back on track. Let’s stop the violence. Enough is enough. Inno- cent people are dying for no reason. Donna Smith Oshawa Ethanol is not a solution To the editor: Ethanol is not green or clean. Just like gasoline, it’s a product of plants and vegetation. It’s a hydrocarbon and, inside of an inter- nal combustion engine such as you would find in a car, the hydrogen is separated from the carbon which transforms into other substances like water and the green- house gas which is destroying our atmo- sphere, carbon dioxide. Thus, it is a pollutant and not an environ- mental solution. Ethanol carries 30 per cent less energy than the same amount of gasoline so we have to use 30 per cent more of it to be able to drive our cars in the manner to which we have become accustomed. And we pro- duce 30 per cent more pollution. So much for helping the environment. Since it is already being mixed with gaso- line at the pumps at the rate of five per cent by volume, and since it has less energy in it, then we are already paying two per cent more for a litre for our cars. If the ratio goes to 10 per cent then our cost for a litre of fuel would increase by four per cent.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ August 13, 2008P Drug court makes a difference in lives of youth Y ou’ve got to hand it to Ontario court Justice Kofi Barnes. He was a man who saw a problem, didn’t like the current solutions and sought a new way to deal with those charged with drug offences. The Durham-based judge, who had experience working as a prosecutor in Toronto with people charged with drug offences, had seen the same old depressing pattern of revolving door offences. Young people would be charged, appear in court, receive sentencing and show right back up in the same place time after time. Whatever was being done in the name of justice with these offenders, it wasn’t working. It was a short-term answer to a long-term problem and no discernible dif- ference was being made. So Justice Barnes decided to change the way the system worked. His goal was to make a meaningful difference in young lives gone off track, with the hope of getting them back on the rails. The answer is Durham Region’s Drug Treatment Court. The goal of the court is to help drug addicts facing non-violent crimi- nal charges get to the root cause of their problem. They have to be willing to make an effort to change. And if they do their part, Justice Barnes, part judge, part par- ent, part brother, part friend, will be there to congratulate them for success. The judge gave kudos recently to a young man after receiving reports from the Crown attorney and the defendant that suggested he was making good progress in life. He dealt with several others who are experiencing varying degrees of success and failure but are under the watchful eye of the judge and the system. The message seems clear: If you really want to change, we’ll help you along the way. We won’t for- get about you or neglect you. The long-term goal is to help save young lives and provide a way for people to real- ize their potential before they end up going down a black hole into a life of crime and addiction. Justice Barnes is leading the fight and deserves credit. But it’s clear the winners in this story are those who take advantage of what’s offered and turn their lives around. We’re all better for it.

The Central East Local Health Integration Net- work has $11.5 million avail- able to health-care providers. The funding is focussed on community support services, caregiver support and well being, supportive housing or assisted living and special- ized geriatric services. The funding is part of the Province’s ‘Aging at Home Strategy’, a three-year, $700- million initiative launched in 2007. The Central East LHIN will receive $20.5 million over the three years. “The LHIN has been given three years of funding and then it rolls into our (finan- cial) base,” said Katie Cro- nin-Wood, the communica- tions lead for the Central East LHIN. “The need to improve services for seniors and their caregivers was identified as a priority by the community when the LHIN’s Integrated Health Service Plan was cre- ated in the fall of 2006,” said Kate Reed, seamless care for seniors portfolio lead with the Central East LHIN. “The Aging at Home funding pro- vides the Central East LHIN with the opportunity to stra- tegically invest in the priority area.” “Seniors and their care- givers are starting to see the benefits from this new strat- egy. Already, new programs to provide more supportive housing, vision care, demen- tia support, Meals on Wheels and day programs are un- derway,” said Dr. John Peto, chairman of the Central East LHIN’s seamless care for se- niors network. The Central East LHIN covers all of Durham Region, a portion of Scarborough, Pe- terborough City and County, Northumberland-Havelock and Haliburton-Minden. In the first year, funding was provided for such things as expanding Meals on Wheels programs, providing support to caregivers, and aiding in- dividuals with hearing prob- lems. Proposals are looked at to see if it’s “one-year fund- ing or ongoing funding. The proposals will be evaluated as one-time or ongoing,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. In the third year, the fund- ing raises to $20.5 million. Funding could go to “any health service provider,” such as a hospital or community agency, Ms. Cronin-Wood said. Proposals have to be submitted to the Central East LHIN no later than Thursday, Sept. 25. More information on applying is available at www.centraleastlhin.on.ca.

His wife and fiancee had just found out about one another since the Peterborough man’s arrest last week and sat together in the court- room as suggested by Mr. Tippett’s mother, Susan Anderson. “I want to see his reaction,” she said. Mr. Tippett was stone-faced in court, looking over at his children. They included his son Ryan, 10, who read out a letter outside the courtroom, essentially disowning his father. “You are not my father,” Ryan read from his letter. “A loving and caring father would not hurt his family this way. “Don’t ever talk to me again and never call me your son again.” Ryan said he wanted to ensure his father knew how he felt. “I want him to stay in jail and never come out,” said the small boy, dressed in a suit. Mr. Tippett’s bail hearing was held over until Thursday. His reported fiancee, Felicia Neals, who only recently found out Mr. Tippett was married, had no comment, but her friend, Dawn Mabey, said Ms. Neal is “not very happy.” Last week, at Mr. Tippett’s first court appearance, Ms. Neals was said to be pregnant. “She lost the baby on the week- end,” Ms. Mabey said. Mr. Tippett’s children were with his wife Natalie and were quiet in court. But outside, his young daughter was heard crying and yelling, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.” There was a reason to bring all the kids to court, Ms. Anderson said. “My daughter-in-law brought the five children because she wanted him to feel the hurt,” she said. “She wanted him to see what he’s losing.” Mr. Tippett was arrested last Wednesday morning after a 12-year-old Peterborough girl was allegedly abducted at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. She had left a birthday party in south Peterbor- ough. She was sexually assaulted and left at Courtice Secondary School, police say. Natalie Tippett said her husband told her he had been carjacked and dumped in Bowmanville. He was eventually arrested, in his uncle’s van, at about 8:40 a.m. Wednesday in Manvers Township. Court heard new charges were pending, but Peterborough Lake- field Police spokesman Walter Di- Clemente said he could not con- firm that until the charges were sworn in court. www.welcomewagon.ca Pickering Welcome Wagon Baby Shower Sunday September 28, 2008 Pickering Recreation Complex 1867 Valleyfarm Rd., Pickering Doors Open at 1 p.m. BabyShowerBaby Shower FREE ADMISSION For your FREE invitation or for exhibitor information please call: 1-866-873-9945 •Exciting Door Prizes •Gift Bags •Special Display www.havingababy.cawww.havingababy.ca Every Baby Shower Includes: ANNOUNCEMENT Durham Optometric Clinic Dr. Khan and Associates NEW PATIENTS WELCOME 62 Harwood Ave. S., Unit 2, Ajax (905)426-1434 1360 Kingston Rd, Ajax (905)831-6870 Trustee In Bankruptcy TrusteeTrustee In In BankruptcyBankruptcy James R.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 13, 2008 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com By Stefanie Swinson and Jennifer Stone OSHAWA — A cab driver who says he picked Stanley Tippett up in Bowmanville and dropped him off in Manvers just before the Pe- terborough man was arrested said his “heart just about fell out of (his) mouth” when he heard about Mr. Tippett’s subsequent arrest. The Blueline taxi driver, who asked not to be identified, said he picked Mr. Tippett up on Baseline Road in Bowmanville last Wednes- day morning. “I asked him, did he work at Millwork?” the cabbie recalled Monday. “And he said no, him and a buddy of his commuted back and forth to Toronto in a car pool and the transmission went out on his truck. So, he said they had the truck towed to a garage and he needed a ride home. “So, I proceeded to drive him home,” he said. It was later while he was watch- ing the news on Thursday event that he heard about Mr. Tippett’s arrest on TV just as he was ready to return to work. “They flashed a picture of him on the TV, and I thought, ‘Holy cow, that’s the guy I picked up on Baseline.’ So I phoned the police right away.” That’s in contrast to what Mr. Tippett’s wife, Natalie, was told. “He said that he was held at gunpoint and he was thrown in the van, his van got stolen, (and) they went on a highway pursuit,” Ms. Tippett said last Thursday, as she awaited her husband’s bail hear- ing in Peterborough. “They threw him out of the van and he blacked out and he was walking along the railway tracks in Bowmanville.” The cabbie said he dropped him off near Hwy. 115, on Porter Road in Manvers Township.

The man was arrested Aug. 7 for alleg- edly attempting to use fake credit cards at the Canadian Tire on Pickering Parkway, just a couple weeks after he was arrested for the same type of offense in Port Perry. Durham Regional Police were called to the Canadian Tire for reports of a man try- ing to buy merchandise and gift cards val- ued at more than $500 with a fake credit card. Store employees requested to see some identification and called police. The suspect fled on foot with another man, but police waited for them at a ve- hicle in a parking lot and arrested one of them upon his return. A search of the 2008 GMC Yukon found merchandise and gift cards purchased with the forged credit card. The other man was located and arrested the next day. He was previously released from police custody July 22 on 32 charges relating to forged credit cards at a Port Perry gas sta- tion. Johnson Johnpintan, age 33 of Hart Avenue in Toronto, is facing seven new fraud-related charges in addition to the 32 previously laid. Sivarajah Tharmaratnam, age 40 of Guinevere Road in Markham, is charged with attempted fraud under $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable of- fence. Both men were held for bail hearings Aug. 8. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Jeff Caplan at 905-579- 1520 Ext. 5702.

Pedestrians and cyclists cross on green and red lights, sometimes straight across and other times diagonally, depending on where they are headed. Sometimes drivers wait, other times they lay on the horn and keep proceeding. The horn seems to be a popu- lar form of communication on the streets. For the media travelling on shuttles, we seem to have the right of way no matter where we go. People move or stop on the spot when our drivers lay on the horn. • • • Here’s a fashion trend not seen our way. On hot days, men often roll up the bottom of their shirts over their stomach, bunched just below the chest. Because of the slender build of most of the men here, it’s not too bad, other than odd looking. Think of some of the body shapes you know back home, and cross your fingers the trend doesn’t come our way. • • • Turning on the TV last night before bed and it was Olympic heaven. Each channel had a live feed from the different venues, so the remote got a good workout bouncing from basketball to boxing to soccer and so on. The best part? It’s commercial free and there are no announcers. • • • Only at the Olympics could this happen. A Canadian scribe, sitting with a scribe from France, talking with a a volunteer from China.

BRAD AND RON’S BEIJING BLOG durhamregion.typepad.com/beijing_2008/ ‘We hate each other’ CANADA MOVING ON TO SOCCER QUARTERFINALS AGAINST THE U.S. By Brad Kelly BEIJING -- The Canadian women’s soccer team has come a long way to play against a team that is virtually next door. But that’s what is on the docket Friday, when Canada will face the United States in the quarterfi- nals of the Olympic Games in Shanghai, the winner guaranteed a shot at a medal game next week. Despite dropping a 2-1 decision to Sweden at the Beijing Worker’s Stadium on Tuesday night, Cana- da’s 1-1-1 record was enough to put them through to the next round. Canada and the U.S. are familiar foes, having played against each other in a number of high pro- file games and friendlies. Ajax’s Candace Chap- man is one of many on the Canadian squad look- ing forward to the challenge. “We played them numerous times and we know their style and they know us pretty well, so I think it’s going to be a really tough match,” she said. Melissa Tancredi of Ancaster, who returned to the lineup after sitting out the previous game against China with an injured ankle, was a little more point- ed in her comments about the quarterfinal show- down with the mighty U.S. See PICKERING’S page 17 Ron Pietroniro/ Metroland Canada’s Candace Chapman (Pickering) slams into Jesica Landstrom of Sweden as both players battle for ball position.

A BUNCH OF REASONS TO CELEBRATEA BUNCH OF REASONS TO CELEBRATE durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 13, 2008 By Brad Kelly BEIJING -- Erin McLean and her Canadian team- mates took the first step here today in what they hope will be a march to the medal podium in wom- en’s softball. Opening the Olympic Games against Chinese Taipei, the Canadians cruised to a 6-1 victory at the Fengtai Sports Centre Softball Field, missing out on the shutout in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Chiu-Ching Li homered to left field off reliever Robin Mackin with two out. It was one of only two hits that Chinese Taipei could muster on the day, earning a single off starter Lauren Bay Regula in the fifth. “That was as important as they come,” said McLean of getting off to a good start. “We are taking this one step at a time, so Chinese Taipei was the first step in getting on to the podium and doing what we need to do, so taking care of them was huge.” The Whitby resident batted second in the lineup and patrolled third base for Canada, stroking a sin- gle in the fifth inning in four trips to the plate on the day. She was later doubled off of second on a line drive to left field. Canada was in control of the game from the sec- ond inning on, scoring a pair of runs on four hits and two Chinese Taipei errors. Canada also plated a pair of runs in each of the third and sixth innings. Despite looking poised throughout the seven- inning game, McLean admitted that the Olympic jit- ters were there prior to stepping on to the field. “Oh yeah. One hundred per cent,” said the 22- year-old. “Once we got on the field in the first inning, we realized we’re here and it’s time to turn it on. “I think everyone was nervous and had a little sickness in their stomachs. After that first inning, we felt pretty good.” The team has known for a long time that it would be competing at the Olympics in Beijing. A 3-0 victo- ry over Italy at the World Championships in Beijing back in September of 2006 secured a top-five plac- ing, allowing the team to become the first Canadian entry to officially qualify for the Olympic Games. Over that time, the expectation level of what this experience might be like had time to slowly build. So far, McLean has been awestruck with the whole thing, right from the first day. “The opening ceremonies were pretty amazing,” she said. Canada is right back at it here on Wednesday when they face the Netherlands. 24/7 coverage gtaathletes.com McLean et al take first step to podium WHITBY’S #20 REVELS IN WIN AS WOMEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM BEATS CHINESE TAIPEI 6-1 Ron Pietroniro/ Metroland Whitby’s Erin McLean runs out a bunt during Canada’s opening game in the women’s softball against Chinese Taipei. Canada was victorious, 6-1. “I am so excited to play the States,” she admit- ted. “We hate each other. It’s a great rivalry. It’s going to be a great game. It’s the Olympics, so it just raises the bar that much more.” Canada wasn’t as sharp against Sweden as it had been in previous round robin games with Argentina and China, which produced a win and tie. Some of it could have been attributed to the fact the players already knew before they took the field they were going to advance. The only ques- tion that needed to be answered was who they were going to play. “Maybe subconsciously,” agreed Chapman of the team holding back a bit. “We were think- ing don’t do anything stupid, don’t get any yel- low cards, but of course we wanted to play for the win.” Sweden jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by Lotta Schelin (19th, 51st). Tancredi made her mark in the 63rd minute on a beautiful header, completely airborne and parallel to the ground as she put the finish on a ball fed in by Amy Walsh. Tancredi was still glowing about the goal long after the game. “Amazing,” she said of what it feels like to score in the Olympics. “I just love scor- ing no matter what or where it is. Scoring a goal in the Olympics against a team like Sweden is just a huge feat for me.” The other quarterfinal matches will feature Bra- zil against Norway, Germany will face Sweden, while China and Japan will hook up.

The Whitby native sits fourth in the Finn class after completing six of 10 races at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Centre in the City of Quingdao. Tuesday was an off day for Cook. “Early success has been due to my downwind ability to come back in races and to not give up until the finish line,” said Cook, who first began sailing at the Whitby Yacht Club. Since then he has moved to Toronto and is based out of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. “I have come back from deep places in most of the races so far and am staying tough waiting for an opportunity to present itself. “The conditions are a little on the light wind side for me. I would like a lot more wind but came prepared for what we are getting. The forecast is not looking that positive for the next couple days but we should get some good wind for our medal race on Saturday.” That medal race is something the 33-year-old has been envisioning for a long time, hoping to make the most of his first Olympic experience by capping it off with a podium finish. “I always knew I would be in the medal race, I am just happy that I am still in the hunt for a medal,” he said of the expectations coming in. “I have to stay consistent to win a medal... I have a bad race now so that will be my drop race leaving me no room for mistakes from here to the end of the event. “I am still confident that I will put together four more good scores to put me in the top bunch of guys.” BEIJING -- Oshawa-born Colin Russell is get- ting an excellent view of Michael Phelps, if noth- ing else. Now, he’d like a medal of his own. Russell and the rest of Canada’s 4x100-metre relay team turned in a blistering time to finish sixth at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing Monday morning, still well back of Phelps and the celebrated American team that won gold. Brent Hayden, Joel Greenshields, Russell and Rick Say came in at a Canadian record time of 3:12.26, which would have set a world record prior to these Olympic Games. As it was, five other teams broke the old stan- dard in the final, topped by the 3:08.24 time of the U.S. Russell and company will now set their sights on the 4x200-metre relay, where they hoped to earn a Wednesday morning (today) in Beijing. The team qualified in fifth spot without Hayden and Russell, who are considered to be their top two swimmers. Russell also reached the semifinals of the indi- vidual men’s 200-metre freestyle, but finished seventh in his heat and failed to reach the final. Phelps won the event in a world-record time of 1:42.96, his third gold medal of the Olympics. JENNIFER PROVAN & MARTHA HENDERSON, TORONTO SAILING Day 4...Toronto’s Jennifer Provan, skipping Toron- to’s Martha Henderson and Sarnia’s Katie Abbott, had a middling day, finishing ninth and 12th among 15 boats in the fifth and sixth races. They are 12th with 40 points, far behind leading Great Britain (15 points) and the Netherlands (18).

MOBILITY AND LOWER LIMB SERVICE THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 13, 2008 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com Second bird in Durham this summer to test positive for virus By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY — A sec- ond crow in Durham has tested positive for West Nile virus, after being picked up in Port Perry. The bird was found Aug. 5 and sent for testing to a Guelph lab. The first in- fected crow of the summer was picked up on July 24 in Uxbridge. “What it tells us is West Nile Virus is present in the region and nothing more than that, it doesn’t tell us one area is more at risk than the others,” said Neal Mattes, senior inspector for the health department. Mr. Mattes said everyone should take precautions against mosquitoes, which transmit the virus. “We know that it’s present in the region and we would advise people in Pickering to take the same precautions as those in Beaverton.” The Region monitors for West Nile virus starting in May each summer. So far, it has submitted 31 dead birds for testing. Residents are urged to report sightings of dead crows, ravens, blue jays and raptors like eagles, hawks and owls by visiting the Region’s website at www. region.durham.on.ca or by calling the environmental help line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777-9613, ext. 2188. “It’s the mosquitoes that transmit the virus and it just so happens the birds are more susceptible,” said Mr. Mattes. “We can get bitten by the same mosquitoes. It’s the same virus that affects the birds that would affect us.” Symptoms of West Nile virus in humans are similar to other illnesses and in- clude headaches, muscle aches, tiredness and a slight fever. “Most people will feel no ill effects at all, it’s a very small percentage of the population that exhibit symptoms and need medi- cal assistance,” he said.

Adults should wear a repellent with no more than 30 per cent DEET. Children six months to two years old should use a less concentrat- ed DEET product (10 per cent or less) applied once a day. For children two to 12 years old, apply the less concen- trated DEET product no more than three times daily. • Wear light-coloured clothing, as mosquitoes like dark colours. Dress in long sleeves, pants, socks and a hat to cover exposed skin. • Make sure all windows and doors in the home have tight fitting screens in good condition. • Get rid of stagnant water that remains for more that a week around the outside of the home to help eliminate potential breeding sites. */463"/$&'*/"/$*"- '*345%63)".

With summer vacation half over, some kids are al- ready looking forward to re- turning to school; 12-year- old Emily and her younger brother Jacob Harrison aren’t among them. “It’s been a really busy summer,” said Emily, lean- ing against her bicycle, a helmet strapped to her head. “We’ve been doing soccer and he’s been doing hockey. We’ve had family over and done bike rides, scooters. “I don’t want to go back to school.” “Me either,” Jacob said. The only thing that does make Emily want to go back is her friends. “Not for the school work though,” Emily said. This year she’s going into Grade 7 and she’s a bit ner- vous. “I never thought I’d be in Grade 7 and stuff... it just seemed like a long time away and now it’s almost here,” Emily said. She’s worried about the increased workload and quality of teachers. She hopes she doesn’t get one who’s angry or yells. On the plus side, she looks forward to lockers. “And not much more,” Emily said. Like Emily, Tristan Brown starts Grade 7 this year. He’s almost ready to go back to school. “Not yet, after the cruise,” Tristan said. He has spent the summer going to the park, spending time with his grandmother, and soon he’ll be going on a Caribbean cruise. At school, he’ll look forward to meeting new friends and learning lots of new stuff. “I’m looking forward to getting As and Bs and get- ting better at my reading,” Tristan said. Selina Armstrong is visit- ing her godmother in Ajax. A Michigan resident, Selina has had a busy summer participating in a Kids Dis- covery Network and taking field trips. She’s “kind of” looking forward to going back to school. “The good part is I have a nice teacher and a lot of people say she’s good with students,” Selina, age 10 said. She’s looking for- ward to getting good grades and compliments from her teacher. She also misses her friends and recess. Selina usually starts miss- ing school about half way through the summer. Be- fore going back, she’ll get a new backpack, pencils, and markers. “And an apple for my teacher,” Selina said. Elsa Samayoa, age seven, looks forward to school. “Because it’s fun there,” Elsa said. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 22 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 13, 2008 Ajax Pickering For more information on how to become a News Advertiser carrier call 905-683-5117 Delivering for the Future What do you call someone who runs their own business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always cheerful and courteous and who brings the product right to your door every time without fail while also trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science and auditioning for the fi rst-chair saxophone in the school band A News Advertiser Carrier Tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers and craftsmen are today’s newspaper carriers.

The suc- cessful experiment blossomed into a new venture for the self-taught Ajax artisan, who now creates a full line of glass beads and jewelry from her home studio. “People know me as the floral bead lady,” says Ms. Naray, who will be returning for her fifth year at Uxbridge’s ‘Art in the Park’ event this weekend, a show she says is very successful. “People are very appreciative of handmade things.” Ms. Naray starts with a coloured glass rod and uses an oxygen gas torch to melt the glass, sculpting it to form a bead. Her creations, which can be seen on her website, kirstynarayglassarts.com, include necklaces, pendants, bracelets and collector marbles, featuring ani- mals, insects, flowers, teddy bears and more. She also makes sterling silver chains, and is in her studio every day before 4:30 a.m., giving herself time to work before her young granddaughter, whom she babysits, arrives for the day. Her pieces range from $6 to $250, depending on the complexity of the creation and whether they include a chain. Ms. Naray, along with more than 80 other artists and artisans, will be displaying their wares for sale at the Uxbridge Lions Club’s ‘Art in the Park’ in Uxbridge’s Elgin Park on Saturday, Aug. 16, and Sunday, Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Ms. Naray will be joined by painters, photographers, sculptors, potters and individuals who work in other disciplines during the two- day show. The featured artists are arriving from Owen Sound, London, Orillia, Toronto, York Region, Cannington and Greenbank as well as Whitby, Ajax and Oshawa, said Larry Peet, president of the Uxbridge Lions, who added the event is the biggest annual fundraiser for his organiza- tion. Although Ms. Naray is no strang- er to Art in the Park, there “will be some new artists this year,” said Mr. Peet. Food will be available in the park during both days and entertain- ment is planned, he added. Kids will have a chance to join the art fun in a supervised play area, fea- turing finger-painting, added the Lions president. He couldn’t say how many peo- ple last year’s show attracted, but noted it was a sizable crowd. “We’re guaranteed good weath- er,” he said jokingly. “We expect a good turnout.” Cost of admission to the event is a donation at the gate for those en- tering the park on foot from Main Street, or driving in from Elgin Park Drive. Proceeds are directed to the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital and “other community projects” said Mr. Peet. A silent auction held over the two days, featuring do- nated work from local artists, rais- es money toward Guide Dogs, he added.

Potters, painters and jewelry makers Competition is open to all Durham residents AJAX — The Ajax Public Art Competition has been extended and is now open to artists from across Durham Region. Ajax is holding the competi- tion to select a piece to appear on a free-standing masonry wall at Salem Road and Achilles Road, just south of Hwy. 401. The cor- ner of Salem and Achilles serves as the eastern gateway to the Salem Centre Business Area. The contest is now open until Friday, Aug. 22. The competition was originally scheduled to run until July 18 and was limited to Ajax residents. It’s open to artists, graphic de- signers and collaborative teams who reside or operate in Durham Region. The Town of Ajax re- serves the right to determine art- ist eligibility. Prior experience in public art design is not required. Designs must reflect the Town’s history, heritage, culture, diversi- ty and/or its natural features, and must include the words Salem Centre Business Area in the de- sign. The winning design will be selected on the basis of artistic merit, technical proficiency and relationship to the site. The winning artist will receive a $1,000 honourarium, and rec- ognition through a number of mediums, including an official unveiling, the Town’s Web site, media communications and the Community Recreation and Parks Guide. A selection panel will review all submissions. The panel may include art- ists, community representatives, architects, elected officials and Town staff.

Starting for the 2008-09 season, the OHA has permitted eight teams to form their own ‘Central Division’ within the Ontario Provincial Ju- nior Hockey League, playing an in- dependent schedule to produce a playoff winner that would advance to the league semifinals. Teams in this new division are the Cobourg Cougars, Hamilton Red Wings, Markham Waxers, Newmarket Hurri- canes, St. Michael’s Buzzers, Stouffville Spirit, Toronto Ju- nior Canadians and the Wellington Dukes. The move by these eight OPJHL teams was made ostensibly to boost the com- petitiveness among the teams, as many of the squads involved in the realignment have generally been viewed as powerhouses within their own conferences over the past sev- eral seasons. The problem is, according to Ajax Attack general manager John Tugnutt and Pickering Panthers GM Gary Wat- ters, the OPJHL board of governors was never consulted and never voted on the proposal that’s cur- rently going ahead as a one-year pilot proj- ect. “We’re dead- set against it and we feel a certain number of our teams have taken their ball and net and are playing on the next street up be- cause they didn’t like a rule. “The OHA overstepped their boundary, allowing this project without the consent of the OPJHL,” said Tugnutt, adding the league board of governors, with the excep- tion of those teams in the new di- vision, were “unanimous” in their opposition. Tugnutt noted the dissenting league board of governors intends to “fight it vigourously” and have subsequently launched a lawsuit against what he calls a “splinter group” that pushed through a pro- posal “under the table and under- handedly.” Watters is only slightly less acri- monious about the new divisional alignment, noting there’s a definite level of “bitterness” about the way the changes came about. But, the Panthers are prepared to move ahead despite the controversial move by the OHA. “We did not endorse any of this and neither did any of the other teams not involved,” said Watters. “We’ve just got to move on. It hap- pened, so you deal with it. I think they made a mistake. There’s a law- suit against it. As far as we’re con- cerned we’re going to move on and do our thing.” Joseph Cornacchia, director of hockey operations and the GM with the Markham Waxers, says the new division was formed in response to what he labels a general lack of organization among some OPJHL teams. “Certain teams are not well-or- AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Linsey Fernandes, 18, of Ajax, will attend American International College in Springfield Mass on an athletic scholarship in field hockey. The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School graduate began training with the Yellow Jackets on Monday. New junior ‘A’ hockey division has area GMs seeing red Ajax teen Fernandes earns field hockey scholarship to Springfield, Mass. university By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — When Linsey Fer- nandes begins her collegiate field hockey career in the U.S. this fall, there will be at least one touch- stone to home. The 18-year-old, who’s won nu- merous national medals as part of Team Ontario over the years, will take the field with the American Inter- national College Yellow Jackets (Springfield, Mass.) women’s field hockey in the fall on a full athletic scholarship. While there, she will live with fel- low Notre Dame Catholic Second- ary School graduate Rhea Pascal, who’s also attending AIC on a bas- ketball scholarship. Fernandes maintains it was ser- endipity that led the two school friends to attend, study and play at the same university. “I didn’t know she was going there until afterwards,” said Fer- nandes. “After we found out, we wanted to live together.” Fernandes left for Springfield on Aug. 11 and began training today (Wednesday, Aug. 13) for the 2008 season under the direc- tion of third-year AIC head coach Julie Zoolkoski. The team begins play in its 20-game schedule with non-conference games against Merrimack College of Maryland on Aug. 29 and C.W. Post University on Aug. 31, both at Holyoke High School in Holyoke, Mass. The Yellow Jacket’s Northeast-10 (NCAA Division II) schedule be- gins Sept. 4 against UMass-Lowell. The Ajax resident notes she’s anxious to start her collegiate ca- reer with the Yellow Jackets women’s field hockey team after initially signing for her scholarship in mid-June. “I’m excited to go, but nervous, too,” she admitted. “The campus is really nice and the education there seems really good.” Fernandes said she was pursued by several other U.S. schools, in- cluding Rutgers, Michigan State University, Dartmouth College and the University of Maine before settling on AIC.

The Hornets received the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity through a program organized by McDonald’s Restaurants. she sent DVDs of herself in action to the various coaches. There were a number of factors that went into her decision to attend AIC. “I liked the coach, I like that it’s a smaller school and I like my program, too,” says Fernandes, who’ll major in chemistry within the school’s pre-dentistry program. “The teachers and everyone there were really friendly.” Fernandes admits the AIC field hockey program is currently in transition, having posted an overall 3-15 mark, including a 2-14 record within their conference last sea- son. “The team is not bad, but basi- cally they’re starting from scratch,” she explained. Fernandes has played field hock- ey since age 7 and has competed for the past 11 years with her club team, the Toronto Titans. She was selected at age 12 to be part of the U16 Ontario provincial team and has played for Ontario at nation- als since 2002, winning 10 medals, including seven gold, at the indoor and outdoor championships. Her last national medals came at the U19 level, where Ontario won gold at the 2008 indoor nationals last March. She expects the experience of playing in a collegiate setting shouldn’t be much different than what she’s used to playing for the provincial teams, she said, allow- ing that training could be more intense. “I think it should be similar,” she said. “Maybe we’ll train a bit more. I think we’re supposed to be train- ing more times a week.” In preparation for the com- ing collegiate season, Fernandes played a full schedule with her To- ronto Titans women’s team, help- ing the team reach the semifinals in its Ontario league that stretches as far as the Kitchener-Waterloo area. She expects to play either the centre-defence or centre-midfield positions with the Yellow Jackets. ganized and are not competitive,” said Cornacchia. “Certain teams run their franchises like a glorified juvenile team. We felt that in order to both be competitive and attract better players they have to run it like a junior program.” Cornacchia maintained he and the other member teams within the new division brought forward their concerns about flagging competi- tiveness within the OPJHL to past chairman Al Doria and board of management commissioner Bob Hooper and were met with silence. “Out of frustration, this has snow- balled into what we have now,” said Cornacchia. As for the impending lawsuit, Cornacchia says he and other Cen- tral Division team management are non-plussed. “Not at all. It doesn’t concern us. They can talk all they want about legalities. We’re doing what’s in the best interests of kids and junior hockey. If we have to overcome cer- tain legal hurdles, we will.” Marc Mercier, on the executive of the Central Division and a governor of the Cobourg Cougars, says his understanding of the lawsuit is it’s in the form of an appeal to Hockey Canada. He’s unsure when any ap- peal to the governing body of hock- ey in Canada would be heard. Cornacchia says he hopes the pilot project will continue beyond its one-year mandate and he hopes other junior ‘B’ and OPJHL squads will join the new Central Division in subsequent seasons. As it currently stands, the Attack and Panthers will form part of a new East Division within the OPJHL with the Bowmanville Eagles, Kingston Voyageurs, Lindsay Muskies, Peter- borough Stars, Port Hope Predators, Trenton Hercs and the Whitby (for- merly Durham) Fury. Another byproduct of the league’s re-alignment is interdivisional play, with the Attack and Panthers to play teams from other divisions through the course of the regular season. While it will mean a bit more travel, Watters is in favour of giving Pan- thers’ fans new teams to watch. “We’ll be seeing different teams coming into Pickering, so that’s not a bad thing.” Breakaway group trying to improve junior hockey: Cornacchia Fast facts The OPJHL will use a two- referee system as a new initia- tive...

We praise God for Restoration, Of what was put astray, And thank Him that you can now be honoured, In the place you have been laid. And although our hearts ache as we miss you, Each and everyday We will wait patiently, until again, With you we will stay. We will love you always, and you will live on through our lives, Dad, Tanya, Talya, Zackary, Grandma and Poppa McVitty and Hayward.
