Members of the Police Services Board wrote the final chapter to the saga Mon- day when they refused a request by Chief Kevin McAlpine for an extension that would have allowed the service to pur- sue a Police Services Act charge against a single officer. The board’s vote means the service will not be able to lay a charge of discred- itable conduct against the former DEU cop, Chief McAlpine confirmed Mon- day. The extension was necessary to pur- sue the charge because more than six months have passed since it was alleged to have occurred. The board’s move was hailed by the police union. “The Durham Regional Police As- sociation, since the beginning of this matter in February 2003, has taken the position that our officers would be vin- dicated and the result of the Police Ser- vices Board decision proves us right,” said union Vice-President Tom Bell in a written statement. The DEU and hundreds of busts made during a period that spanned 2001 and 2002 have been subjected to intense scrutiny, beginning in January of 2003 when Chief McAlpine received a letter from a former DEU cop alleging a host of improprieties, including theft, excessive use of force, and shoddy investigative techniques. New City clerk arrives to warm reception By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Debi Bentley feels right at home in Pickering. Ms. Bentley took over as City clerk May 30; she was previously deputy clerk at the Region of Durham. “I’ve been made to feel welcome from the day I stepped into Pickering,” she said. She took over for longtime clerk Bruce Taylor, who retired June 30. He spent his last month as deputy clerk. “I was fortunate to have Bruce to job shadow,” Ms. Bentley said. “That was such an opportunity.” Municipal clerks are responsible for assisting in the governing of council, helping prepare bylaws and in doing record keeping. “We’re basically ensuring the history of the municipality is maintained,” she said. Ms. Bentley began her career in Whitby, where she was born and still lives today, serving as supervisor of At home in Pickering Celia Klemenz / News Advertiser photo Ryan Williamson, right, offers Molly Russell his secrets to success in sand cake preparation. Molly and Ryan were at Picker- ing’s Millennium waterfront park this week, joining many other city residents in an attempt to beat the heat. Ministry extends ninth smog advisory of the season By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Less than a month into the summer, Durham residents continue to labour under record heat and smog conditions, with relief nowhere in sight. According Environment Canada, temperatures will remain hot and sticky in the mid-30s for the rest of this week and into next. The heat and humidity combined with a lack of rain and southerly winds blow- ing air pollution from the U.S. will continue to create an ideal staging ground for smog. As of Tuesday, Durham was in the midst of a smog advisory issued Sunday and expected to last at least a few more days. So far this summer, the region has seen nine such advi- sories, spanning 32 days. Dave Phillips, a climatologist with Environment Canada, said this week also marked the 20th day this year that temperatures have climbed above 30 degrees Celsius. The yearly average is 12 days and last summer there were only three. “We had a record warm June and it looks like we might have a record July as well,” he said. “Often weather is very persistent, what you see is what you get. It’s amazing because we haven’t even reached the real dog days of summer in the middle of July.” In To ronto, health officials have issued heat alerts to accompany the ongoing smog alerts that come from the Province. While Durham does not have a heat alert program, Envi- ronmental Health Manager Jacques Perrault said there are ongoing cam- paigns to encourage energy conser- vation, smog reduction and healthy Frenchman’s Bay could be coming clean By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The time has finally come for action in the quest to clean up Frenchman’s Bay, says Maurice Brenner. The Ward 1 regional councillor is chairman of the Waterfront Co-ordinat- ing Committee (WCC), which made a presentation to council last month on a five-year implementation plan to clean up the Bay. “This is an action item, not a talk item,” Coun. Brenner said in an inter- view. “It has been talked about for over a decade and it’s time to stop the talk and start implementing.” The main component is a stormwater management plan to clean up the bay and ensure that it stays healthy. “Cleaning up the bay is the easy part, the hardest part is putting the stormwa- ter system in place,” Coun. Brenner said. The plan will be developed by the City and the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion (TRC) authority with advice from the WCC. “We have no choice but to clean the bay because it is critical to not only the Pickering waterfront but to the City and the Region as a whole,” said Larry Field, a waterfront specialist with the TRC. “It is not very healthy both from an aquatic and infrastructure standpoint. If there isn’t action taken at this time it will fur- ther degrade.” David Steele, a community member on the committee, said 100 tonnes of sediment from Hwy. 401, Bayly Street and the creeks flows into the bay each year. There are also problems with flood- ing. There have been studies and reports done about the problems with French- man’s Bay for years, but all involved with this plan say it is different. Mr. Field said it will integrate the work that has been done in the past and set out what to do in the long-term. ✦ See Frenchman’s, Page 4 ✦ See Durham, Page 5 Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo Now into her second month on the job, new Pickering clerk Debi Bentley says she’s felt welcome since Day 1.✦ See Bentley, Page 4 ✦ See Probe, Page 5 It’s hot — with dog days to come A/P PA GE 2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 13, 2005 PUT PICKERING FIRST The Provincial Government is in the process of establishing a Development Plan for Central Pickering (Seaton and Cherrywood). It is being done outside the normal Planning Act process and against the wishes of elected Councils of the City of Pickering, the Region of Durham. The Province is conducting this process to plan for Seaton to facilitate their Land Swap Deal with developers from Richmond Hill, the details of which remain secret to this day. Since the Province only wants growth in Seaton and not Cherrywood, it has ignored the City of Pickering’s Growth Management Study and Plan which calls for growth in a portion of Cherrywood and Seaton. The City’s Plan also establishes a large countryside area around the hamlet of Whitevale, protects the area’s sensitive environmental features and provides a net benefit of 60 million dollars to the taxpayers of Pickering. RESIDENTS OF PICKERING •Pickering is unlike any other known city in the Province because NO WHERE ELSE HAS THE PROVINCE TAKEN OVER LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING. •Citizens of the City of Pickering and Region of Durham CANNOT appeal the plan the Province produces. •The Province’s plan includes too many people and not enough jobs. This will impact the financial health of the City & Region. •The Province will not release the background studies to support the planned growth for Seaton. •Both York and Durham Regions have expressed serious concern over the lack of services and the impact this much growth will have on roads, sewers and social services. •It could cost 200 million dollars for Seaton infrastructure and the Province has not agreed to pay this money. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR TAXES? •Seaton contains very sensitive cold-water streams and aquifers, is heavily forested with many ground water discharge and recharge areas, and contains significant First Nation cultural heritage areas. HOW CAN WE BE SURE THAT THESE RESOURCES WILL BE PROTECTED UNDER THE PROVINCE’S PLANNING PROCESS? HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED •Despite requests from thousands of residents and the City of Pickering itself, the Province has decided to plan Seaton without doing a Full Individual Environmental Assessment. •The Province has not adopted the City of Pickering’s objective of Environment First urban planning. •The Province has not quantified the impact that this Plan will have on the environmental, financial or cultural health of your municipality. •The Province refuses to follow accepted practices for meaningful public input accepted elsewhere and throughout the Province. Is this the best plan for the City of Pickering? Is this the best plan for our environment? Or is it simply a convenient plan for the Province and Developers to swap lands in Richmond Hill for lands in Seaton? The Province is holding an Open House on July 14th, 2005 to present their plan. Residents of Pickering should attend, question the Province’s motives and ask why planning control has been taken away from their elected Council. …THERE’S MORE TAKE ACTION GET INVOLVED IN PLANNING YOUR COMMUNITY.

NEWS ADVERTISER Capital funding forecast drops for public schools By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — The public board intends to approve its budget at the end of Au- gust, just before the start of the new school year. Durham District School Board chairman Michael Barrett says the general legislative grants from the Education Ministry, which contain formulae the board uses to calculate how much money it can expect for the coming school year, were late this year. As a result, the ministry has extended the deadline to Sept. 1 for boards to file their budgets. “We are taking advantage of that,” he says. As well, Trustee Barrett says there’s also a problem ensuring the 11-member board has a quorum. He noted that in the first week of July four trustees were on holidays. The budget is to be pre- sented to trustees’ educa- tion finance committee Aug. 18. Budget discussion and public deputations are set for Aug. 22, and two days later the budget could be ready for approval at a special board meeting, ac- cording to business super- intendent Ed Hodgins. The board received some “disappointing” news re- garding its capital fund- ing in the Good Places to Learn Grant, says Trustee Barrett. The first stage of the grant, intended to ad- dress urgent and high needs repairs at schools, was originally pegged at $2.5 million per year, which in turn could finance up to $34 million worth of work. But board officials from the start noted that the minis- try figure depended on the board being able to borrow at a very generous, and un- likely, interest rate of five- and-a-quarter per cent. As a result, the estimate was lowered to around $30 mil- lion. Now it appears the figure will be lower still. In identifying its first list of projects, the board in- cluded work it had already completed at schools. Trustee Barrett said the ministry responded by telling the board it would receive less funding since it had already addressed some projects. “We could be looking at a potential loss of around $4 million, which is disap- pointing,” he said. “We are appealing to the ministry, asking them to reconsider.” Two months ago, the board approved $12.4 mil- lion worth of work at 13 high schools and 17 ele- mentary schools. Trustees are to receive and likely ap- prove a second list of proj- ects at the Aug. 29 board meeting. Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo Drumming up support for Terry PICKERING — Major Bill Fodor of the Highland Creek Pipe and Drums band led the way Sunday as the City of Pickering held a rally to mark the 25th anniversary of Terry Fox’s run through Pickering. Approximately 30 people retraced a portion of Mr. Fox’s route, while more than 100 people were on hand at Esplanade Park for a ceremony. Board budget approval set for August Unit 5 now back online after planned maintenance PICKERING — After more than 16,000 tasks, Unit 5 at the Pickering nu- clear station is back gener- ating electricity. The reactor returned to service last week following a planned maintenance outage that began Feb. 10. With Unit 5 back online, all four reactors on the ‘B’ side of the Pickering plant are operating, while Unit 4 is the only ‘A’-side reactor generating power. Unit 1 is slated to be back online in the fall, while Unit 2 and 3 remain in a laid-up state. The Unit 5 outage is part of a program on the ‘B’ side to enhance the sta- tion’s safety and operating performance. Among the tasks working on were the reactor and heat transport systems, the control room and turbine generator. “Safely operating and m aintaining our equip- ment pays dividends in improved station perfor- mance, making mainte- nance and upgrades es- sential,” Pickering ‘B’ site vice-president Tom Mitch- ell said. “This outage was our station’s largest ever.” Other work done in- cluded boiler cleaning, inspection and mainte- nance of more than 300 fuel channels, installation of new equipment in the main control room, and inspecting and repacking a number of valves. On the non-nuclear side, work included inspection and repair to a number of valves, work on the turbine generator, a major over- haul of the cooling water pump and the overhaul of the low-pressure service water pumps. Prior to the outage, Unit 5 had been online for 96 continuous days, and last year it had the best record on the ‘B’ side with a capa- bility factor of 92 per cent. Pickering reactor restarts administration services before head- ing to the Region for seven years. Her move to clerk was a natural progres- sion, she said. “I was ready to move to that next level in my career,” she said. Ms. Bentley, a mom to two teenaged sons, is glad to be back at the munici- pal level. “I like the local level better, you have more contact with the public,” she said. Now that she is flying solo, Ms. Bent- ley is glad to have the summer to famil- iarize herself with issues, go through processes in the department and get to know the staff before having to start planning for the 2006 municipal elec- tion. “That’s certainly one of my summer tasks, to get myself up to speed on the issues,” she said. Some of her other tasks include enhancing the laser fiche program and hiring a new deputy clerk. Anne Greentree left the position in the win- ter but the City thought it would be best to find a replacement once it had a new clerk. “That was very good foresight on the management of Pickering,” Ms. Bent- ley said. “It’s always nice to pick your right hand.” Ms. Bentley not only brings with her experience from her previous posi- tions, but she was also involved with the Association of Municipal Manag- ers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario. She developed a ‘new municipal man- ager’ course offered through the as- sociation. She also does speaking on policy and procedural administration.

The committee is going to work to get funding from the federal and provin- cial governments, as well as from grants through working with the University of To ronto. The plan also includes building a new harbour entrance, constructing a waterfront trail and signage, and provid- ing outreach, education and awareness. Scott Berry, a new member of the committee, presented some of the sug- gested roles of the group, including helping to secure funding, networking with the community and overseeing the implementation of the plan. “There is a great vision here and great opportunity,” he said. “We’re excited to get started.” ✦ Frenchman’s from page 1 Frenchman’s Bay group eyes funding assistance ways of dealing with the heat. For example, Durham residents can minimize smog by taking public transit, delaying the use of small engine tools like lawn mowers, and avoiding aerosol sprays, oil-based paints and other chemical products. When it comes to health, Mr. Perrault said com- mon sense is key. “Staying hydrated is very important, and so is avoiding exercise or outdoor work during the hotter parts of the day,” he said. “If you have to go for a jog or work out in the yard, do it first thing in the morn- ing or wait until evening.” While it might be tempting to water parched lawns and gardens, residents are reminded the Region is under a water ban to help relieve strain on the system. Dr. Phillips said this is not surpris- ing considering that Durham has seen less than 50 millimetres of rain since the beginning of May, and only four in the last month — barely enough to fill a thimble. Last year the GTA had about 158 mm in that same period. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool A/P PA GE 5 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 13, 2005 No payments until July 2006, only with your Sears Card, on approved credit.

There followed 18 months of in- vestigation and acrimony, during which all 12 mem- bers of the DEU requested transfers to other duties. As the probe unfolded, three officers were charged with insubordination for refusing to take part in interviews with the OPP; they were punished for the infractions, even though they eventually agreed to the interviews. Also charged and docked pay was former DEU boss Detective Tom Andrews, who breached a direct order when he showed up at police headquarters in support of those officers during the interviews. Former DEU officers expressed rage over the investigation and the pall it had cast over their ca- reers. Even when the OPP announced it was laying no criminal charges last summer, the officers felt they had not been vindicated. An internal probe by Durham Regional Police looked into more than 50 DEU files in which it was alleged they had commit- ted infractions, including use of excessive force and other transgressions. On Monday Chief McAlpine told the services board the majority of those allegations had been found to be groundless, or that they could not be proven because the civilians involved in the busts — the drug dealers and marijuana growers arrested by the DEU — were unco-operative. “We looked at every single investigation they con- ducted at the time and more than three-quarters were proper police work,” he said in an interview. “A t the end of the day, there’s no doubt these guys worked hard. They were a valuable part of the ser- vice.” The internal review pointed to administrative is- sues, such as filing of use of force reports, officers’ notes on arrests and other matters, the chief said. The probe has resulted in a list of 37 recommenda- tions to be implemented by officers and supervi- sors. “They certainly needed to be investigated to clear the air, one way or another.” Meanwhile, the former DEU cop who launched the probe by levelling allegations of misconduct against his former colleagues awaits a hearing of his own on Police Services Act charges. Constable Bob Chopee is to appear at police headquarters in Oshawa next Wednesday. Const. Chopee faces two counts of insubordina- tion and two counts of discreditable conduct. The charges do not relate to allegations he made about the DEU. ✦ Probe from page 1 Probe of officers examined more than 50 files Monday, July 11 Tuesday, July 12 Wednesday, July 13 Thursday, July 14 Friday, July 15 32˚ 36˚ 33˚ 31˚ 34˚ Source: weatherdurhamregion.comApproximate highs for Durham Region this week.

EDITORIAL Seaton planning cannot be rushed To the editor: Re: ‘Developers insist without the permits, there’ll be no hos- pital funds’ and ‘Hospital re- ally needs this donation’, News Advertiser, June 29, July 3. I am disappointed with the developers’ efforts to rush the City’s subdivision plan approv- al process. We are committed to a comprehensive, transpar- ent and collaborative process in finalizing the Seaton plan, making it difficult to commit to a 16-month time frame. Why are we being so judi- cious? The future community of Seaton will be one of the premier communities not only in the GTA, but all of Canada. We are working in conjunction with the Region, the Province, the conservation authority and others to design a landmark community that will be in har- mony with its surroundings and the environment. We hope to create one of the country’s most innovative neighbour- hoods showcasing environ- mentally friendly and sustain- able technologies and design principles. The hospital is an integral part of our community and should never be used as a bargaining chip. True charity has no strings attached, and I sincerely believe that the de- velopers will do the right thing by honouring their pledge, re- gardless of when the subdivi- sion plans are approved. Until then, the City of Picker- ing will continue working dili- gently and efficiently to realize its vision of the future commu- nity of Seaton. David Ryan, Mayor City of Pickering Chairman doesn’t get it To the editor: I just don’t think that the Re- gional Chairman (an unelect- ed, overpaid position) gets it. He claims that it doesn’t make financial sense to build a facil- ity with extra space. Well you know what? It doesn’t make any financial sense at all when a high-priced council plans to build a new headquarters and then they discover, to their surprise, that they are approxi- mately 30 per cent above bud- get. I think that if you or I were planning to build our own home on a fixed budget and we were alerted to the possibil- ity that we would be exceed- ing this thoroughly planned budget by 30 per cent then certain items would just have to be delayed or completely deleted from our plans. The council just doesn’t get it ... the taxpayers are fed up with their reckless spending habits. Can’t they treat each tax dol- lar like it’s coming out of their own pockets? If you can’t, then please excuse yourself from the council and let someone more suitable take charge. The part about the parking garage is just unbelievable and all the comments about free parking, free bus passes etc. reads just like a comedy skit. So what’s next, valet parking? “Build it and they will come, free of charge of course” should be the mission statement for our illustrious council. Please, please stop wasting my tax dollars. L G Brindley, Whitby Firefighters don’t get enough credit To the editor: Recently, the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary north of Brougham was hit by fire in the building that housed several hundred animals. When you survey the extent of the damage to the building you realize it is amazing that any animal survived. Due to the fire department, 200 cats and kittens were res- cued from the intense smoke- filled building and oxygen was administered to many. Firefighters do not get enough credit for the danger- ous job they do. They respond quickly in rush-hour traffic, in all kinds of weather, and to so many difficult situations. In the hot humid weather their job must be almost unbearable. Elizabeth Paton, Pickering LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I n an interview just prior to her release from prison, I heard Karla Homolka state that she was terrified. Two thoughts immediately ran through my mind: “Good,” and “I don’t buy it.” Good, yes, I hope she is in a great deal of discomfort. I hope she is facing the great- est fears she has ever felt in her miserable, misspent life. I hope she never sleeps an- other full night as long as she lives. I hope she leads the life of a rat in an owl colony, constantly afraid for her life, jumping at shadows and noises. But, I don’t buy it. I don’t think she is at all terrified. I don’t think she knows the meaning of the word. The great irony is that she has witnessed, like none of us has, the reality of terror. She has been terror’s right hand. But still she knows noth- ing of what terror feels like. Kristen French could tell her. Leslie Mahaffy could tell her. Her own sister could tell her. But, until she has visited that dark, cold, suffocating place, that place of claws and teeth and screaming, that place where fear is so intense it has a smell, she ought not use the word. She blasphemes in the worst way if she does. What are we to do with the Karla Homolkas of this world? My church-going days are long over but there are a few things that I remember well and still believe in, things like penance and atonement for in- stance. Making things right. I wonder, for example, what the world might think if, upon her release, Karla threw herself upon the Mahaffy or French doorstep and begged to be made a slave for the rest of her natural life. Indentured herself into ser- vitude to those broken families in an effort to somehow pay for her many sins. I can think of no other act that might mollify my opinion of her. If you commit the crime of destroying flowers before they are allowed to bloom, you must spend the rest of your days planting and caring for seedlings until they have flow- ered. Nothing else will do. Unfortunately, such an act of contrition has as its prereq- uisite the existence of a con- science. So far, this bleach-blonde, blank-eyed Grendl shows no indication that any such thing exists within her. Perhaps then, we need to re- think the conditions of release for prisoners like her. Perhaps, instead of a new suit of clothes and some ciga- rette money, such monsters ought to be issued a hair shirt and a jar full of locusts and honey. It’s laughable to think that someone can do what she has done, then spend a little over a decade in the comfort and relative safety of prison and ex- pect that the score is somehow settled, the debt paid, that she can step back into society and pick up where she left off. That’s why it is my greatest hope that if there is still a shred of a soul still living inside that woman, that it screams at her, day after day, night after night, with an ever-increasing voice, to atone, to make good. Or at the very least to do good. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Karla should atone for her crimes Neil Crone enter laughing IN THE COMMUNITY CLICK AND SAY This Week’s Question: Are you more concerned about a terrorist threat in Canada after the bombings in London? Yes or no? Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Do you believe Live 8 will impact G-8 nation leaders and make a difference in solving the crisis in Africa? Yes or no? Votes cast: 195 Yes 16.9% No 83.1% Canada takes responsible aid approach T he plight of struggling countries in general and Africans in particular have received much needed attention these past few weeks. Pretty much everywhere you turn, some staggering messages are being delivered by rock stars and political stars alike. To be fair, here in Durham, many groups have fought hard the last few years to deliver a similar message that seems to only now be sinking in with the high-profile assistance. Countless individu- als, church groups, and other organizations have travelled to Af- rican countries, among many others, providing missionary work and real relief to a people so much in need of and so appreciative of assistance. Make no mistake, the struggle is great. Consider, for example, the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is increasingly coming to light with regards to Africans. According to UNAIDS, an umbrella group of United Nations’ agencies and other prominent world bodies, an estimated 25 million are living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, an area that is home to 10 per cent of the world’s population. That figure represents about two-thirds of all people across the globe living with HIV. In 2003 alone, about 2.2 million people there died of AIDS, representing about 75 per cent of global deaths. Staggering indeed, and the future appears even more desperate. Which is why so much attention of late has been shifted onto rais- ing awareness about world poverty and debt relief for struggling countries. It certainly was at the core of the Live 8 concerts and re- ceived prime-time attention at the recent G8 summit in Scotland. For its part, Canada is taking the right approach to aid in that it helps struggling nations while also looking after the needs of Canadians. The federal government is pledging to double the level of aid to Africa by 2008-09, which is part of a $3.4-billion increase to all international assistance over five years. It has also forgiven a significant amount of debt owed by poorer nations around the world. But, Prime Minister Paul Martin must continue to be resolute in his position that we cannot afford at this time to devote 0.7 per cent of our income to foreign aid. To do so would put pressure on our own economic position and our nation’s stability moving forward. To weaken our position would also weaken our ability to help oth- ers. Will Canada’s approach to foreign aid please everyone? Certainly not, but Canada’s approach of debt forgiveness and increased aid offers the necessary balance for all those in need and for all Canadians. Debt forgiveness, increased funds benefit struggling nations and Canadians Ajax gets a visit from the Love Bug Ernie Wheeler, centre, owner of a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle, was pre- sented a trophy by Paul Hicks, left, for being the Herbie ‘lookalike’ award winner at a recent contest at Ajax 10 Cineplex Odeon. ‘Herbie, Fully Loaded’ is currently playing at the cinema and Ruel Navia sent us this photo of Ajax’s own ‘Herbie’.

[ Baseball ] Ajax’s McConnachie an Intercounty league all-star AJAX — An Ajax ball player was on the winning side at the Shoppers Drug Mart Intercounty Baseball League All-Star Classic in Guelph on Saturday. Oshawa Dodgers second base- man Brad McConnachie was named as a starter on the Intercounty Baseball League all-star team that defeated the Guelph Royals 11-8 at Guelph’s David E. Hastings Sta- dium. He was the lone Dodger named to the all-star team. This season, McConnachie pos- sesses a .353 batting average and a .424 on-base percentage — the second highest on the Dodgers. In 25 games, he’s had 85 at bats, 30 hits and 12 runs batted in. As a team, however, the Dodgers (7-22) have struggled this season, cur- rently residing in eighth place in the nine-team league, 16 games behind league-leading Toronto Maple Leafs. In the fall, McConnachie is ex- pected to return for his junior season with the Ohio Valley University Fighting Scots baseball program (Vienna, West Virginia), which competes in the NCAA Division II Ohio Valley University Ath- letic Conference.

Good times keep rolling for Rock Taylor returns to lineup to sink former team in Game 2 of senior ‘B’ lacrosse playoff series By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — An unlikely goal-scor- ing source ensured the Ajax-Pickering Rock sits firmly in the driver’s seat in its Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ best-of-five opening round series against the Brooklin Merchants. Veteran Kevin Taylor, more known for his defensive prowess, was an erst- while offensive star for the Rock in Game 2 of the series, played Sunday night in Brooklin. The 27-year-old former Merchant scored two goals to pace the Rock to a 13-8 victory. Twenty-four hours before, in Saturday’s series opener at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex, the Rock took it to the Merchants en route to an easy 9-4 victory. Game 3 was last night at the complex, after press time. If necessary, Game 4 is at Whit- by’s Iroquois Park Sports Centre on Friday at 8 p.m. Being on the floor in Game 2, let alone scoring a pair of goals, was very much in doubt for Taylor who sat out the series opener. But, upon getting the nod from Rock head coach Paul St. John to return to the lineup, Taylor made the most of his opportunity. “I didn’t expect to get back in the game. I thought they would keep the same lineup they had in Game 1. They played phenomenal, so I thought they wouldn’t want to change the chemis- try,” he says. Of scoring two goals, Taylor ex- plained, “It was nice. I got a chance to do that because we’re so strong on defence, that Paul had faith enough in me to move me up and play a little bit of offence. I’m a guy who doesn’t score any goals at all, so it was a nice bonus. It was nice to contribute to the team.” St. John says his decision to sit Tay- lor in Game 1 was twofold: It was sim- ply a numbers game with the amount of players at his disposal and, sec- ondarily, by sitting down Taylor, one of the league’s tougher hombres, he sent a message to the Merchants that the Rock “didn’t want to play a fighting style. “He was very unhappy and I’m glad he was unhappy. You don’t want guys to be happy sitting out. But, I couldn’t be more prouder in my three years with the Rock than I was for Kevin Tay- lor. He really stood up.” For the Merchants’ part, head coach Steve McCarthy says his charges are disappointed with their play. “We didn’t have a good effort in the first game, but we had a lot more inten- sity and emotion in the second game, but we let the second period get away from us. That put us in too deep a hole to come back from,” says McCarthy. In Game 2, the Rock held a slim 3- 2 lead after the first period at Luther Vipond arena. But, the Rock outscored the Merchants by a 6-2 margin in the second stanza to take a 9-4 edge into the dressing room. The Rock led by as much as 11-4, allowing the team to get starters Jim Veltman, Mark Craig and Jason Crosbie off the floor for much of the final stanza. McCarthy gave full credit to the Rock captain Jim Veltman, who was the main ingredient for Ajax-Pickering in both wins. “The presence of Jim Veltman and the confidence he exudes, the other players just feed off him,” observed McCarthy. “We haven’t done a good job of neutralizing him.” In addition to Taylor’s two-goal con- tribution Sunday, Veltman contributed three goals and three assists. Pat Van- hooser and Craig each recorded two goals and an assist. Other scorers were Jared Bilich, Todd Hollinshead, Steve Dunn and Brad Cann. Crosbie added six assists. Duke McNutt had a four-point night for the Merchants, with two goals and two assists on Sunday. Veltman led the way for the Rock on Saturday, scoring once and adding four assists. Mark Craig and Vanhooser each recorded two-goal games; Hol- linshead, D.J. Cox, Crosbie and Cann added single goals. Mike Calnan, Chris Willerton, Steve Yo ungman and Joel Johnson scored the Merchants’ goals. Paul St. John Brad McConnachie Pebbles Record: 2-0 Lead best-of-five first-round playoff series 2-0 with Brooklin Merchants Much to the chagrin of the Mer- chants, the Rock received the largest cheer heading out onto the floor for the start of Sunday night’s game in Brooklin, as about 50 fans made the trip from Ajax-Pickering. “It felt like it was a home game,” noted Rock head coach/GM Paul St. John...Frank Littlejohn played his first games of the season after an extended stay on the injured list with a broken wrist. Littlejohn contributed an assist in Saturday’s game...Goaltender Jay Preece counted four assists in Sun- day’s win...Ed Fines sat out Sunday’s game...John Veltman, brother of team captain Jim Veltman, is expect- ed to miss the entire Brooklin series with a personal commitment...

OSSBA will hold its all-star game at Rogers Centre DURHAM — The Ontario Senior Select Baseball Association will get a chance to showcase its talent to a much wider audience than ever be- fore this weekend. The league, which features four Durham Region teams and is cel- ebrating its fifth anniversary this season, holds its all-star game at the Rogers Cen- tre on Sunday, about three hours after the Toronto B lue Jays and Tampa Bay Devil Rays do battle. Led by president Steve Smith, the league secured the prized venue by selling more than 500 tickets to a Blue Jays game against the Boston Red Sox back in April. In fact, the league managed to sell 932 tickets, with Smith’s brother, Scott, the top seller at 140. Both Smiths will be involved in the all-star festivities. Steve is on the coaching staff of the Walker Divi- sion all-stars, headed by past-presi- dent Rod Holinaty, while Scott will be presented a special gift from the Blue Jays. The Walker Division features four local teams — the Durham Chiefs, Whitby Chiefs, Oshawa Talons and Pickering Pirates — as well as the Barrie Red Sox. They will play against the Jen- kins Division all-stars, comprised of players from the Burlington Bulls, Richmond Hill Phoenix, Mississauga Stars, Bloor Jays and Mississauga North Tigers. Just like Major League Baseball, the winner of the all-star game earns its division home-field advantage for the best-of-three playoff champion- ship. Four Pirates players — Mike Mi- narik, Jaymin Parmar, Phil Lacombe and Shawn Loughlin — are on the Walker Division all-star squad. Pirates’ coach Andy Obergfell is also part of the all-star coaching staff. The league is hoping to make the all-star classic an annual event and has already secured the Rogers Cen- tre again for next season, thanks to selling close to 200 more tickets for this Sunday’s Blue Jays game.

Edge Whitby Wildfire in under-10 division championship match AJAX — The Ajax Strikers girls’ under-10 rep soccer team’s third tourna- ment championship was its biggest and best outing this season. The title came at one of the most prestigious minor soccer events around, the Robbie International Soccer Tourna- ment, played over the Canada Day long weekend. The Strikers struck for the crown after engaging in a classic battle with the Whitby Wildfire in the championship in Scarborough. Known to many as the ‘World Cup of Junior Soccer’, the Robbie is the world’s largest youth soccer event, with pro- ceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Founda- tion and Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Ajax joined hundreds of top teams from across Ontario and from as far away as Croatia, Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S. The final, featuring two teams sport- ing identical 4-0 records, was marked by a pitched battle. Trailing 2-0 just before the end of the first, the Strikers closed the gap with a goal. A determined and focused Striker squad came out for the second half and went to work. Dominat- ing the play, Ajax took the Robbie crown with a 4-3 victory. Alex Lamontagne- Maycock was named most valuable player of the game. Ajax downed the Eastside Kickers 3-1 in the semifinal. The Strikers were met by three physi- cal and determined teams in round- robin play. In Game 1, Ajax dominated play, keeping the Oshawa Kicks’ goal- keeper on her toes the entire game with an incredible 28 shots on net, resulting in a 2-0 Strikers victory. The Strikers met the Wexford Wildcats in Game 2, prevail- ing 2-1. The final round-robin game saw Ajax drop the Kanata Lightning 8-1. Other team members are Charmaine Bosse, Tamara Brown, Darrian Capizzo, Bethany Coke, Mikayla Dias, Lauren Duggan, Sonya Fesiak, Keyanna How- ard, Jaimie Laing, Mackenzie Langford, Sarah Liderri, Colleen Milne and Sa- brina Yusuf. Joe Capizzo, Bob Langford and Chris Duggan coach the team. The manager is Tammy Maycock. Ajax girls strike it rich at Robbie tournament Ajax United girls weave their Magic in Ohio Under-12s dedicate North Olmsted soccer title to teammate AJAX — The Ajax United Magic 93 Business Development Bank (BDC)/ Zellers girls’ under-12 rep soccer team had special incentive for capturing its age group at the recent North Olmsted Soccer (NOSO) Tournament in Ohio. Te am members dedicated the tourna- ment — and the championship — to teammate Vanessa Morra who was re- cently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lym- phoma, a form of cancer in her lung. Morra is currently undergoing chemo- therapy at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Travelling seven hours to the tour- nament to North Olmsted, just outside Cleveland, the Magic didn’t want to make the return trip empty handed. In the final against the Cleveland Kickers — a team that was previously unbeaten entering the tournament — the Magic came out strong and scored in the sec- ond minute of play on a goal from out- side the 18-yard box by Leah Semeniuk. Ajax United continued to pour it on with goals by Julia Theophille, Cassandra Wiltshire, Chelsea Santos and Pippa Mc- Dougall for the 5-0 victory. En route to the championship game, the Magic tied Westlake Celtics 0-0, even though the Magic outplayed their American opponents the team reports. In Game 2, the Magic defeated the North Olmsted Soccer organization (NOSO) 3-0. Theophille, Wiltshire and Dana Forbes scored for Ajax. In Game 3, the Magic outclassed the Victory Express from Pennsylvania 5-1. Semeniuk, Erin Lee, Theophille, McDougall and Jessica Henderson provided the offence. The Express’s lone goal came off a penalty kick. Other Magic team members are Kait- lyn Church, Vicki Formusa, Emily Gree- nop, Kelly Henderson, Emily Hutton, Karen Li, Kyla MacKenzie and Veronica To rres. Richard Hirst coaches the team. The Magic 93 reps are still trying to strengthen their roster. Any interested players may contact head coach Richard Hirst at coachhirst@sympatico.ca or go to the team’s website at www.eteamz. com/ajaxunitedmagic93.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 13, 2005, PAGE 11 A/Pwww.durhamregion.com Several Durham performers included in concert series DURHAM — With summer settled in for a long run, Durham storytellers are ready to spin some tales. Dianne Chandler’s Candlelight and Magic summer series continues this year with two concerts planned at the Piano Cafe. The fourth season of Stories for a Summer’s Night begins July 14 with East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Port Perry musicians Lauren Maly- on, Rory Taillon and Matt Bailey will entertain while storytellers Enid De Coe, of Courtice, Heather Whaley, of Whitby, and poet Lucy Brennan, of Whitby, will tell tales. Chandler, of Port Perry, will host the evening. “Children have always instinctively recognized the power of hearing a story told, not read, to them,” she said in explaining her creation of the series. “But I was hoping to share this ex- perience with more adults, too, and so far, the endeavour has been pretty successful”, she said. Telling stories for an adult audi- ence is a return to the ancient roots of folklore, whereby storytellers passed on the history and mythology of the tribe by memory. “Most of the stories we are telling have less weighty subjects than those of mythology but, while designed to delight and entertain, still deal with human emotions and experiences.” She said audiences come from as far away as Peterborough, Toronto and Cobourg. Even people on holiday from Hol- land and England have attended, she added. Chandler noted the storytelling concerts, also held at Halloween and Christmas, depend on Durham musi- cians and storytellers. The second summer concert, Oh Canada: History/Herstory, will be held Aug. 13. The concerts begin at 8 p.m., with dinner served between 7 and 8 p.m. at the cafe, 217 Queen St. The cost for dinner and concert is $35 per person and includes main course, dessert and a beverage. Res- ervations are recommended, Chan- dler said. For more information, call 905-982-0707.

Monthly sessions a chance for playing and sharing experiences By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Durham Region guitar- ists don’t have to rock alone. The recently formed Pickering-Ajax Guitar Association was created to give local musicians a chance to share their musical talents with fellow guitar en- thusiasts. The group’s formation was born out of a discussion back in January be- tween musicians Jim Brand and Terry Hart. “One of the best kept secrets in Dur- ham Region is that there are a lot of good musicians here,” said Hart. “We wanted to put together a forum for experienced and developing guitarists that would aid in the development of their technique.” The result was the association’s first open-mike event in February, at Bayly Restaurant (325 Westney Rd. S.) in Ajax. Since then the event has taken place on the first Wednesday of every month, and has succeeded in giving guitarists a place to play and advance their skills. The association does not have official members, simply inviting one and all to enjoy a night of playing every month. “It’s a standard format, people usu- ally play three tunes. Most people play a mix of their own stuff and covered stuff. A lot of the people are songwrit- ers, so they play their own material, but others are a little more comfort- able doing covers,” said Hart. Aside from giving musicians a chance to play in front of a like-mind- ed audience, the events also give them a chance to network amongst each other, creating both friendships and musical partnerships. “It’s a great place to make connec- tions,” said Hart. Attendees can also benefit from the experience of fellow guitarists. “There are people around to an- swer questions, and to help with tech- nique,” he said. “There’s quite a learn- ing curve with a lot of things on guitar, like equipment, microphones, and pickups. Many of us are professional musicians and are experienced with that stuff, so we can be a big help to people just starting out.” In addition to the open mike nights, the association has also hosted guitar workshops, the most recent is coming up tomorrow, July 9. The first was held in April and featured a workshop with professional musician T.J. Wheeler, who also performed a concert. “We wanted to assist people in their quest to get better, by bringing in peo- ple experienced in guitar instruction,” said Hart. “We got an excellent re- sponse to the first workshop.” The association is taking the sum- mer off, but will reform in September, once again meeting every month at the Bayly Restaurant. All guitarists are welcome, and there is no membership fee. Hart is aiming to make the group even better this fall. “We hope to solidify the things we’re doing, and get the open mike nights more established. We’ll see how the workshops are going, and hopefully we can do them more regularly.” For more information on the asso- ciation, visit www.terryhart.ca.
