There are ways to fund those advances” using areas where we have over-achieved. The Canadian Auto Workers union (CAW) has contracts expiring with the Big Three automotive companies (GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler) Sept. 20. The union and GM started talks Tuesday with a handshake at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Buzz Hargrove, national president of the CAW, said Canadian plants have increased productivity, lowered overall costs and reduced workplace injuries over the past few years, re- sulting in “huge savings” for the com- pany. That puts the 17,189 GM employees -- 11,991 of which work in Oshawa -- in a “good position” entering bargain- ing, he said. While Mr. Green refused to go into details of what the company would be after, Mr. Hargrove listed improving benefits and pension plans for retir- ees, increasing incentives for senior employees to retire earlier so young- er people can secure jobs, and wage improvements on the anniversary of collective agreements as some of the union’s goals. The CAW will continue informal talks with the Big Three over the sum- mer, before picking one company to negotiate with. That agreement will be the master contract for all three companies. First-ever event celebrates diversity AJAX — The carnival comes to Pick- ering Village Saturday. The first-ever Carnival in the Village runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 23 and it’s a chance to revel in the different cul- tures that make up Ajax. “Carnival in the Village is about start- ing a tradition that shows inclusiveness and promotes local business. It’s a win- ning combination,” says Angie Little- field, executive director of the Durham West Arts Centre and a member of the organizing committee. Donna Laurence, head of the commit- tee, says people involved in other simi- lar events, such as Caribana and Fiesta We ek in Oshawa have been sought out for help. “We’re bringing that expertise to Ajax to celebrate our community’s diversity. Even in our first year, we’re going to give people a taste of a carnival parade, with 30-plus costumed children parading to lively music down Old Kingston Road starting at noon. The village is going to jump up,” Ms. Laurence says. The emphasis is on children between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., with three stations offering different activities. One is Back in the Day and includes old-time games, such as hop-scotch, marbles and Dou- ble Dutch. There are also Pair Games, with water balloon tossing, three-legged races and an apple bob relay. Culture Games gives children a chance to learn the heritage of activities such as the limbo contest, kiddie’s karaoke and pi- ñatas. There are prizes at each station. The children’s parade runs along Old Kingston Road, starting in the west. For youth, there’s the opportunity GM employees in line for ‘reward’ It’s a carnival atmosphere in Pickering Village ✦ See Entertainment, Page 6 Tamil association, Rotary offer tutoring to boost scores and land funding By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — The Durham Tamil Association and the Rotary Club of Pickering are hoping to change the lives of 300 students in Sri Lanka. They plan to raise $10,000 to provide coaching and guidance to Grade 5 students to prepare them for a government scholarship examina- tion. Passing on the first try means a scholarship until Grade 11. “If they don’t pass the first time it could change the whole course of their life,” said Gord Dyck, past-presi- dent of the Rotary Club of Pickering. For children from poor families, that 500 rupees (one Canadian dol- lar is 80 rupees) a month from the government means they can devote their time to bettering their lives. “They’re forcing the children to go to work to help the family, depriv- ing them of studying,” said Muttuku- maru Chandrakumaran, of the Dur- ham Tamil Association. He added this would also help decrease the incidence of child labour. In Grade 11 students take another exam and if they pass they get fund- ing for college or university. The project was proposed by the Yo uth League for Sanathana Dhar- mic Perception. The money is to be channelled through Pickering Rotary to the Rotary Club of Colombo South in Sri Lanka, which is administering it. Mr. Chandrakumaran said the as- sociation gets a lot of requests for help from Sri Lanka and decided on this one because “it is beneficial for the kids. “By doing this we’re giving kids the opportunity to achieve more and go on to college.” The association contacted Rotary. The two had previously worked to- gether earlier this year raising money as part of the Durham Community Ts unami Relief Committee. “It’s absolutely the kind of project we would get behind, a youth initia- tive,” Mr. Dyck said, adding it would also raise literacy levels.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Gord McGregor, left, and the Land Over Landings group toured some of vacant homes in north Pickering last week, trying to raise awareness for the need to preserve the properties. Mr. McGregor showed Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland his mother-in-law’s old house, which has been empty for two years. Group fights to save homes, community Pickering family home now sits empty By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Myrna McGregor is sickened at the sight of the peeling paint in the sunroom of the boarded- up house her mother used to call home. “That little room was her room,” she said. “It’s terrible... To see it de- stroyed is sickening.” Her mother, Margaret Pettes, lived there for 26-years -- next door to her daughter and son-in-law Gord -- be- fore moving out two years ago. The home was boarded-up by the federal government within three months of Ms. Pettes leaving. “I felt sick about it because I knew it was a beautiful little home that a family with two or three children could have easily lived in,” Ms. Mc- Gregor said, adding she and her hus- band took care of it over the years. Her mother’s home is one of many in Brougham that have been boarded up or torn down in recent years and Land Over Landings, the steward- ship group trying to protect the land and buildings in north Pickering, say it’s happening not only because of the threat of an airport, but also be- cause of bad management. The area was expropriated by the federal government in 1972 to build an airport. That idea was shelved until recently and so Public Works took over the management of the land for Transport Canada. Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland said it isn’t political will that is clear- ing the land. “It’s a lot easier to manage the lands if there is no tenants... That’s why I think there is such a push to evict the tenants,” he said.

The Independent Electricity System Operator (ISO), which is responsible for managing Ontario’s bulk electrici- ty system and operating the wholesale electricity market, is asking consum- ers to reduce use. “The heat wave is presenting a num- ber of challenges for the ISO in man- aging the reliability of the electricity system,” said Paul Murphy, the ISO’s chief operating officer. “The sustained hot weather is resulting in record de- mands for electricity and places oper- ating limitations on both generation and transmission facilities.” The near-drought conditions in much of Ontario has caused a de- creased supply from hydroelectric generating facilities, noted Mr. Mur- phy. As a result, electricity users are being asked to reduce consumption between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. “Higher consumption will mean higher electricity bills -- any con- servation efforts will not only help individual consumers to offset those higher costs, but will help us maintain reliable service to all consumers,” said Mr. Murphy. The voluntary appeal for reduced consumption is in effect until 6 p.m. on Friday, July 22. However, more im- mediate stronger appeals such as a power warning or power emergency may be issued if the situation dete- riorates, said a media release from the ISO. Consumers can reduce demands on the electricity system by turning off all but essential internal and external lights, setting air conditioners to 26 C or higher or using fans as an al- ternative, closing curtains and blinds to keep out the sun and retaining cooler air inside, and avoiding or lim- iting the use of major power-consum- ing equipment such as dishwashers, washers and dryers and swimming pool pumps between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. P PA GE 2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 20, 2005 WHITBY II 4160 Baldwin St. S. 905-655-4920 WHITBY I 1910 Dundas St. E. 905-436-3780PICKERING II 1235 Bayly St. LIVERPOOL & BAYLY 905-831-1280 PICKERING I 376 Kingston Rd.

In particular, they were able to take Mr. Holland into a home where the ten- ant has moved out but the lease isn’t up until the end of the month. Ms. Del- aney said they’ve been told by Transport Canada that when tenants move out the homes are not going to be re-tenanted, regardless of condition. Transport Canada spokeswoman Paul Fairfax said they are in the process of updating their re-renting policy, with the plan to be complete by the fall. A decision was made that “until its policy was updated, re-renting would be placed on hold,” she said. The three-bedroom bungalow on Brougham Road could use a makeover to bring it into the 21st century, but other than that it is quaint and tidy. Even the 40-year-old green tub is spotless. “I’m going to definitely try and make sure it is tenanted,” Mr. Holland said. “I am very concerned about it in the area, especially in Brougham, because what we’re going to see is the systematic de- struction of a hamlet.” LOL feels the same way. “The driving force behind me is we have to stop the evictions... I don’t want to see any more houses knocked down,” Mr. McGregor said. “I want to see kids in them and playing on the street.” Ms. Delaney agreed. “I don’t believe the airport is going to happen but we have to save these homes, these farms and these commu- nities,” she said. ✦ Feds from page 1 Feds taking look at rental policy Crops need rain By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. That’s the song local farm- ers are singing, as Durham goes through an extended dry spell. According to Environment Canada senior climatolo- gist Dave Phillips, up to last Wednesday, July 13, Durham Region had received a measly 50 millimetres of rain since the beginning of May -- not even enough to fill a thimble. By com- parison, in the same period last year, Durham had received 158 millimetres. There was some relief over the weekend with a number of intense showers. Substantial rain is needed right away, said Paul Watson, a Bowmanville farmer. “If we don’t get rain in the next week, some crops will be done before we even get started,” said Mr. Watson, whose family farm has pick-your-own and ready- picked fruits and vegetables, in- cluding strawberries, peas and beans. Already the extreme heat and lack of rain have impacted one crop at the Watsons’ farm. “For strawberries it was the shortest season on record,” said Mr. Watson, Usually, the farm is open for pick-your-own straw- berries for “at least 28 days. This year, it was only open 17 days.” Snap freezes last winter also played a role in the relatively short strawberry season, said Mr. Watson. The farm has ready- picked varieties of strawber- ries still available at the market stand. The dry weather has also heightened the Watsons con- cern in terms of their irrigation system -- lack of rain means at least one pond is only half full, so they’re having to conserve. The type of rain called for over the weekend, which was expected to come in the form of short storms, wouldn’t do much good, said Dale Mount- joy, an Oshawa cash crop and beef farmer. He said at least an inch, and preferably two inches, is necessary to do the crops any real good. “It would have to be over a couple of hours, and not in a thunderstorm,” said Mr. Mount- joy from his Harmony Road North area farm. Earlier in the season, it looked like it could be a bumper crop year, he said. “Before this drought, we were on a very good crop year,” he said. “But we’re a long way from over. If we start to get some rain, we could be on the way to a good crop year.” Without rain soon, “there are going to be a lot of guys in the area in dire straits for the end of the year,” said Mr. Watson. It’s the same across the prov- ince, said Charles Stevens, of Wilmot Orchards, a Newcastle farmgate business that grows mostly blueberries and apples. Crops that have trickle irrigation, which gets water to the roots, as opposed to overhead irrigation, which cools the whole plant, are really suffering, he said. “In that case, the intense heat has shut down most plants,” he said, noting even trees and flowers are going into “survival mode.” That means plants are maturing more slowly. “In the next two weeks, if this continues, there will be damage to most crops. Yields are going down by the day,” said Mr. Ste- vens, who attended a meeting with horticulturists from across the province earlier this week, and heard similar concerns from most growers. “We really need an all-day one- or two-inch soaker,” said Mr. Stevens. Still, the blueberry crop is showing signs it should be a decent one, he noted. After that, there would still need to be regular rain to keep crops going, noted the farmers. “The ideal would be an inch of rain every week on the week- end, which would make the cottagers unhappy, but me very happy,” said Mr. Mountjoy. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool 900 Champlain Ave.,Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 OSHAWA Floor Model Sell Off Store Hours :Mon.- Wed.9:30 a.m.- 6 p.m.Thurs.& Fri.9:30 a.m.- 9 p.m.Sat.10 a.m.- 6 p.m.Sun.11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Does not apply to previous sales.

EDITORIAL Karla has been punished enough To the editor: Re: ‘Karla should atone for her crimes’, Neil Crone column, July 13. Reading Mr. Crone’s col- umn has finally pushed me to respond to the Karla ‘terror’. Really, what was the point of it? Following weeks of media hype, Mr. Crone’s column was by far the most vicious I have ever read on anyone! His column spewed hatred, insults and defamation with- out ever coming to a point. While I have never con- doned Homolka’s actions, Mr. Crone’s anger shouldn’t be di- rected at her for serving “just” 12 years. Rather, why isn’t he focus- ing his anger towards the same government which made the deal in the first place? We should never forget the crimes she committed against Kristen, Leslie and Tammy, but, as a society we must ac- cept the fact that people make mistakes. If we cannot accept this fact and cannot accept that peo- ple can rehabilitate then why have a justice system at all? My words of advice to anyone out there: leave her alone. For the rest of her life she will be known as a killer, tor- turer and a rapist. That is her scarlet letter and not many people will want to associate with that. Frank Duguay Brooklin Pro-life group hurts its own cause with ‘horrible’ images To the editor: In Pickering recently I was driving on Hwy. 2 at Whites Road when I saw a large num- ber of people spread out along the street. To my utter horror they were standing with mon- ster-sized posters of dead fetus- es in horrible circumstances. One such picture was of a pair of tongs and a baby head. It was absolutely appalling. I was with my four-year-old son and had to tell him to look away, not to look out the window. I am so offended and angry at their pitiful display. Who do these people think they are? What gives them the right to throw in our faces these hor- rible pictures of what they say are fetuses from abortions? Are they helping take care of all of our unwanted children in this society and the world? I am more offended that they have the right to thrust their beliefs in the face of the public without any consent from the public. Driving down the street, stopped at the lights, we have no option but to see what is going on and then realize that we and our children have just been victimized with these hei- nous pictures. Anne Kipp, Pickering English visitors loved 50th anniversary festivities To the editor: We would like to express our appreciation to residents for the way they greeted us on our recent visit for 50th anniver- sary celebrations in Ajax. The staff at Super 8 hotel and the management could not do enough for us. The people who lined the streets to greet us on parade, you were all superb. The guests at Table 34 at the banquet, we wish we could meet you all again to tell you all personally. We took our menu with your names, but unfortunately, we have no photographs or addresses to write to tell you personally. We had a great holiday in Canada. Syll Wilson and Tim and Brenda Haynes, England LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Balloon popped on masculine moment The other day I had to have a flat tire repaired. I removed the flat and put the ‘donut’ on myself and I’ll admit I was feeling pretty darn masculine at that point. I was out in the sun, sweat- ing like a man and cranking a vehicle up on a jack. My fingers were covered in real dirt and grease, not the make- up kind I usually have applied in a trailer. I even managed to curse a few times during the procedure. Pretty manly stuff for a guy who pretends for a living. I was feeling my oats. Why then, did it take just five seconds of talking with a “real” mechanic for me to start feeling like a sissy? I hate when that happens. And it starts as soon as I pull into the gas station. Maybe it was my ward- robe. Mechanics wear grease- stained work pants, baseball caps with grimy finger marks on the brim and big steel- toed work boots. They are all business. I got out of the car wearing a tank top, bathing suit and Birkenstock sandals. The only thing missing was a feather boa. Plus, I think a big part of my problem in these encounters is my natural curiosity. I am endlessly fascinated by things I have little experience with. Carpenters, crane operators, adult film stars, I can watch them for hours. So, when my mechanic friend started the job of repairing my tire, some- thing about as exciting as but- tering toast for him I am sure, I became like a seven-year- old kid. “What’s that for? “Wazzat thing do? “Whaddya puttin’ that in there for?” Even as I heard these words leave my mouth I knew I must’ve sounded like a knob to this guy. I certainly looked the part. But I couldn’t help myself. I never can. It’s only through massive amounts of willpower that I am able to keep myself from blurting, “Can I try? Can I try?” To make matters worse, the only reply I could seem to come up with whenever he patiently explained what he was doing, was “Cool.” Al- though it usually came out more like “Cooooooool.” And of course, whenever I tried to dig myself out of this behavior, I only compounded the problem. For instance, I would try to raise my status in his eyes by brilliantly stating the obvious. “Oh, so you just snip ’er off right there do ya? “Oh, so that’s where she’s leaking? How about that? “Wow, she sure was flat, huh? Cooooool.” To his credit, my mechan- ic friend managed to keep a straight face throughout our encounter, although I am sure there were a couple of mo- ments where he must’ve bit- ten his tongue clean through. In fact, all of the mechan- ics within earshot of my mo- ronic performance retained their professional demeanors throughout. “Relax,” I thought, as I climbed back into my car, “They probably get guys like me in there all the time.” I finally drove away with both my tire and my ego a little better inflated. It’s remarkable though, how much an air compressor and pneumatic hoist can sound like laughter. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Pretender bows to the professionals Neil Crone enter laughing IN THE COMMUNITY Durham diners can eat out with confidence D iners in Durham can take up their knives and forks in the region’s restaurants with confidence the health depart- ment’s inspections do work. The evidence is revealed in the latest report on food safety inspections which shows a dramatic decrease in violators in the past 18 months. In the winter of 2004, 35 restaurants across Durham were slapped with various charges and fines. Last summer, 20 restaurants were nabbed. This winter and spring, just seven restaurants were charged after extensive in- spections at numerous eateries around Durham. That’s a five-fold decrease, an impressive rate of decline and a clear indication that Durham’s restaurant owners do not want to be charged and fined for health infractions. The health department reports restaurants are not charged after a first inspection. Inspectors will note whatever problems they detect on an ini- tial visit and issue a warning to the offending establishment. If, on a followup visit, the inspector finds the same problems he encountered during the primary visit, he can charge the place. A possible conviction and fine might follow. The point then isn’t to surprise restaurants as much as it is to make sure they clean up their acts, once notified. As Alex Connor, manager environment health with the Region of Durham says, “It’s only because we’re continually having to nag, that we have to write these tickets.” The twice-yearly inspections certainly seem to be having the intended effect. The health department makes the results of the inspections public and the resulting public scrutiny can hardly be a desirable outcome for any business that must live and die by the quality and safety of its food. “I do think the fact the convictions are posted is having a real serious effect on operators. Their level of compliance has in- creased,” said Mr. Connor. Hats off to those who have complied -- and continue to com- ply. This is one Durham trend we can only hope will continue -- for the sake of our stomachs. Region’s inspectors are doing a great job looking out for our health in restaurants Budding artists Several students from the Literacy Program of Community Living Ajax-Pickering and Whitby celebrated the end of class with an art project.

Te achers are to be paid to go to rural areas and teach students in such important subjects as English and math. Those involved in the project just completed a similar one in April and May preparing stu- dents for the university entrance exam. More than 3,200 students were assisted. “By supplying tutorials, taking lecturers from Colombo to the students, which helped them to overcome their depression, it made them more confident,” Mr. Chandrakumaran said. The previous program was focused in the same area where students lost loved ones or their homes to the tsunamis. The project provided tutorials, textbooks and guidance, as well as food and refreshments. It also helped them get over the psychological trauma. Mr. Chandrakumaran said the Grade 5 pro- gram is going to be administered by selecting 25 students in one area every month. Students have been selected by their teacher; they are living below the poverty line and either come from single-parent families or were orphaned by war or the tsunamis. The Durham Tamil Association also part- nered with the Rotary Club because as a regis- tered charity it can give tax receipts.

The Ajax resident and Picker- ing High School student leads a double life. On the small screen she’s Sadie Hawthorne, an as- piring naturalist who loves to study animals and their behav- iour -- and fix her analytical eye on people as well, with hu- mourous consequences. In real life, Charlotte’s a soon-to-be 16-year-old who has one thing on her mind when she reaches that milestone. “I’ve got the driver’s hand- book so I’ve got to read it and take the test,” she says. The star of ‘Naturally, Sadie,’ which debuted last month on the Family Channel in Canada, Arnold has met the press in Los Angeles, promoting the show for U.S. distributor the Disney Channel, and recently returned home from a two-week Euro- pean vacation. Her worlds collide when it comes to education. Sadie is a 14-year-old junior high school student, and the first season’s 26 episodes were shot at a To- ronto school from September to February. In real-life, Arnold had a tutor with her during the filming schedule, spending two hours a day on school stuff. All she had to do was walk upstairs from the set to a real class- room. “It was OK, other than around exam time,” she says. But that’s where the similari- ties end. Arnold says her char- acter “is not me at all. “She’s got a real passion for nature; she wants to be a nat- uralist. Science and math are probably my least favourite subjects.” Sadie is also new to high school, Arnold notes, while she’s entering Grade 12 next year. As well, Sadie is kind of a tomboy who dresses plainly and wears no make up. “I’m not really girly, but I ap- preciate make up,” Arnold says. Arnold was in her first com- mercial at four years of age and has appeared in several televi- sion movies. ‘Naturally, Sadie’ is her first lead role, and family members and friends are pretty excited for her. Her cast mates include actor Jasmine Richards, who plays Margaret, a social butterfly and Sadie’s oldest friend, and Michael D’Ascenzo, Rainbow ‘Rain’ Papadakis. Arnold says the other actors are a lot of fun to be around, noting a group of them went to a concert to- gether. Of the first season, she lists a 1980s flashback episode in which she wore leg warmers and one that featured a tiger as her favourites. Arnold says she isn’t looking too far into the future as far as her career goes. “I think the furthest I’m thinking ahead is we’re filming Season 2 next year,” she says. ‘Naturally, Sadie’ airs on the Fa mily Channel, Saturdays and Sundays at 6:05 p.m. A/P PA GE 7 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 20, 2005 connections }Ài>ÌÊ«ÀˆViÃÊUÊ«ÀœviÃȜ˜>ÊÃiÀۈViÊUÊ«iœ«iÊޜÕÊV>˜ÊÌÀÕÃÌ to advertise in this feature call Jim Goom @ 905-683-5110 ext. 241 Full Service Law Firm Specializing in: Residential Real Estate, Family Law Matters & Criminal Law Matters 467 WESTNEY RD.

The team of 15 girls made the re- cent trip to the prestigious 400-team tournament earlier this month after receiving financial help from Picker- ing-based Freedom 55 Financial. The long-planned trip, complete with two years of fundraising, was cast into doubt with the f inancial crash of Jetsgo air- lines in March, as many of the players and their parents had booked with the now-defunct airline. The Pickering girls made the most of their opportunities at the presti- gious California event, advancing all the way to the tournament final in the ‘Gold’ group where they met a strong So Cal Blues squad at the University of San Diego. Both teams amassed excellent scoring chances throughout the game, but neither was able to capitalize. Af ter two intense halves, the game proceeded to overtime. Just before the end of extra time, an unlucky bounce ended up in the Falcons’ net. Fa cing the RB Renegades in an intensely played semifinal, the Falcons emerged with a 1-0 victory. Natalie Gray scored. Suffering a bit of jet lag before the first game, the Falcons were still able to earn a 2-0 victory over the Hawk Black. Amanda Morris and Sarah Bed- ford scored. Af ter a 1-0 win by forfeit in Game 2, the Pickering Falcons played the host San Diego Soccer Club (SDSC) Pegasus in Game 3. The Falcons played with patience against their possession- oriented opponents en route to a 2-1 victory. Gray and guest player Sara Fairweather scored for Pickering. Defenders Chelsey Gordon, Cally Bolton, Krystal Ferdinand, Kathleen Crandles and Jasmin White all figured prominently in the victory. Midfielders Kate Walkom, Zita We athcroft, Alia BenHammud, and Erika Forbes kept the game and the ball moving forward to Gray, Jade West, Amanda Morris, Sarah Bedford and Fairweather who were dangerous around the opposition net. Breanna van Abbema made sev- eral excellent saves on SDSC Pegasus shooters. Manny White and Ben Hammud coach the team. An assistant coach is Silvia White and the manager is Karen VanAbbema. Flames heat up to win Cataraqui Clippers crown PICKERING — For the second consecutive year, the Pickering Power Flames girls’ under-15 rep soccer team earned the championship at the Cataraqui Clippers Ambassador Cup Tournament. The Flames turned up the heat on the opposition with outstanding offen- sive and defensive play throughout the competition, scoring 20 goals and not allowing any in five games. The Flames faced Oshawa Turul in the championship, scoring early and often en route to a 6-0 rout. In semifinal play, Pickering had its toughest challenge of the tournament against the York United Panthers, win- ning 1-0. During group play, Pickering Power beat Ottawa South United 5–0, Kanata Lightning 3-0 and Cornwall Kinsmen 5–0. A consistent effort by the defen- sive unit of goalkeepers Channon Traill and Jessica Garan, and defenders Leigh Bedford, Meghan Taylor, Megan Pritchard and Kailey Park was key to the title. The midfield play of Shannon Ken- nedy, Amreen Thawer, Vanessa Garcia and Nikki Renouf provided a smooth transition between defence and attack. The forward line of Savitry Phom- saphao, Leanne Fomenko, Meagan Heney and Jessica Moy enjoyed a pro- ductive weekend. An injured Tasia Shaw supported her team by keeping statistics. Other team members are Jennifer Chung, Michelle Newhook and Lindsay Cane. Alfonso Garcia coaches the team, assisted by Kevin Pritchard. The goalkeeper coach is Jeff Kennedy, the trainer is Patti Taylor and the manager is Debbie Kennedy. Post time at Picovs At right, the quarter-horses are neck- and-neck as they thunder down the stretch during one of the races at Picov Downs in Ajax Sunday afternoon. Bot- tom left, Mikayla Derksen, 5, who trav- elled from Uxbridge with her parents, gazes at the horses in the paddock area while under the shelter of her umbrella. Bottom right, official timekeepers Cathy Mucklestone and Jo-Anne Carlgren keep a close eye on the finish line. Live racing at the Ajax track is on Sunday after- noons until mid-October. Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photos Rock bear down for date with Kodiaks Semifinal series set to begin in Kitchener- Waterloo on Sunday By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Rock must grin and bear it as their next playoff opponent is the top-ranked Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks. Ajax-Pickering Rock head coach-GM Paul St. John wanted to avoid a OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse semifinal matchup with the Kodiaks, hoping the Arthur Aces could dispatch the Six Nations Mohawk Stars in Game 5 of their di- visional series. But, with the Stars’ 10- 4 win Sunday, the Rock were seeded fourth in the league semifinal series, meaning they square off against the Kodiaks in a best-of-five series, starting in Kitchener-Waterloo Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The Rock earned their way into the league semifinal with a 12-8 win in Game 4 of their best-of-five divisional series with the Brooklin Merchants in Whitby on Friday. St. John notes the Rock-Kodiaks se- ries will be a battle between two teams that employ a similar style. The Kodiaks are led by goaltender Steve Dietrich, affectionately known as ‘Chugger’, of the National Lacrosse League’s Buffalo Bandits, and Corey Quinn, the Bandits’ backup ballstopper. The Kodiaks finished with a league- best 10-4-0 mark for 20 points, five points better than the Rock, which fin- ished fourth overall with a mark of 7- 6-1. Although the two teams sawed off their regular-season meetings, the Rock did beat the Kodiaks 8-5 in the last meeting, on June 24. “They’re the best in the league, no ifs, ands or buts. They finished first overall, but I think we match up well against them. They’re a lot like us — they like to run and they have great goaltending. Their defence is strong. They can go big and try to pound you or they can go small and try to run with you. They averaged 10 goals a game in the regu- lar season and averaged 11 in the first round of the playoffs. “We were hoping to avoid Kitchener until the final, where we would be an automatic berth into the nationals (be- cause the Presidents Cup is to be hosted in Kitchener-Waterloo). But, who wants an easy way in? We want to beat them and prove we belong. Are we worried? Absolutely. But, at the same time, we’re quietly confident we can do the job.” St. John acknowledges he must get the optimum performances out of its quintet of pro players — Jim Veltman, John Veltman, Dan Ladouceur, Jason Crosbie and Jay Preece — if the team has any hope of advancing to the league final. So far, Jim Veltman, captain of the reigning NLL champion Toronto Rock, has been a rock in the Ajax-Pick- ering lineup. The senior league’s most valuable player this season, Jim Velt- man has five goals and 11 assists in the post-season. Meanwhile, Crosbie, of the Bandits, has three goals and 11 assists. While Jim Veltman and Crosbie must continue to have the scoring touch, the Rock will also have to rely heavily on the defence provided by Ladouceur, goaltender Preece and John Veltman, who wasn’t available for the Brooklin series. A fast start was the key to the Rock’s series-clinching victory over Brooklin. Ajax-Pickering built up a comfortable 7-1 bulge in the first period, before the Merchants came back with a later marker. The Rock were outscored 5-2 in the second frame as Brooklin closed the gap to three goals by the end of the period. But, an early third-period goal by Bill McLean, essentially put the game on ice. Frank Littlejohn scored an empty-netter with less than five min- utes remaining. Other Rock scorers were Brad Cann with three, Crosbie with two, Jared Bilich, Mark Craig, Aaron Binstock, To dd Hollinshead and Jaime Lumsden. Cann counted two assists.

The Rock won 12-8. DURHAM — Pickering’s Perdita Fel- icien and Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes head to next month’s world track champion- ships in Helsinki, Finland as Canada’s top two hurdlers. Felicien, 24, will get a chance to de- fend her world title -- and make amends for her infamous Olympic disaster -- after breezing to the 100-metre hurdles title Saturday in a time of 12.82 seconds against a strong head wind at the 2005 Canadian Track and Field Champion- ships in Winnipeg. Lopes, 22, finished second in 13.01 and Angela Whyte, 25, of Edmonton was third in 13.13. All three competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Ath- ens, where Felicien was favoured to win but fell in the final, and all three have secured berths to Helsinki. “I’m really pleased where I stand right now with the worlds about a month away,” said Fe- licien on the Athletics Canada website. “I just wanted to be ag- gressive out there and I think the head wind really helped me get that mind- set.” At the Canadians, Felicien was nurs- ing a sore knee suffered after falling over the last hurdle while competing at the Athletissima Grand Prix meet in Lausanne, Swit- zerland earlier this month. She has stated, how- ever, that her knee should be 100 per cent for the worlds. In Win- nipeg, Felicien captured her fourth consecu- tive Canadian title and her fifth in the past six years. She’s also the current Canadian record holder in the event with a mark of 12.46 seconds, set at the Prefontaine Classic meet in Eugene, Oregon last June. Anson Henry, another Pickering Olympian, came away with gold and silver at the nationals. He won the 200m dash in a time of 21.05 seconds and finished second to Pierre Browne in the 100m after clocking in at 10.73. Henry must still meet the Canadi- an qualifying standards to compete at worlds in the 100m and 200m. He has, however, been confirmed as a member of Canada’s men’s 4-x-100m relay team. Henry, 26, represented Canada in the relay at the Athens Olympics. Bowmanville’s Mark Dillon took bronze with a 2.19m high jump, falling short of Olympians Kwaku Boateng and Mark Boswell. Mary Egbo-Egbo of Whitby was fourth in the triple jump after a 12.57m leap. Pickering’s Felicien dominates Canadian hurdles again Perdita Felicien Anson Henry SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com UPCOMING Game 2 of the Ajax-Pickering Rock-Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse semifinal series is at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. Pebbles Record: 3-1 (playoffs) Up next: Semifinal series vs. K-W Paul St. John praised the work of rookie Aaron Binstock and veteran Brad Cann, who both had their best games of the playoffs.

It is crafted in our #2 plant in Oshawa Canada, which received the Gold Plant Quality Award for North & South America. The new Allure incorporates all our newest and best thinking with our heritage of award-winning quality. On the outside, there’s a sleekly sculpted body with the utmost attention to detail. While inside awaits a world of refined ergonomics, luxurious new finishes and solitude, thanks to Buick QuietTuning. Needless to say we’ve applied those new refinements to the Rainier SUV and the category- defying Terraza minivan. What’s more, OnStar is available on all four Buick models. There is, however one thing we’ll never change. That’s our ongoing commitment to quality, luxury and comfort.
