[ Briefly ]] East and West offer relief AJAX — East met West in April, once again raising a whack of cash to help sick kids. East Meets West is a popular cultural show held each year at Pick- ering High School in Ajax. It brings together the East and West Indian cultures, featuring song, dance and fashion and promoting unity. As in the past, all proceeds from the event were donated last month to the Caribbean Children’s Founda- tion, a registered charity that helps critically-ill children from the Carib- bean access medical care unavail- able in their homeland. Members of the East Meets West Club raised $4,300 for the charity at this year’s event. Enjoy the sounds of Pickering PICKERING — The sounds of the summer are alive at the Picker- ing waterfront.

Off to good start on age-old issue Durham police looking for three suspects PICKERING — Police are hunting for three suspects after a Pickering man was beaten, restrained and robbed dur- ing a home invasion early Tuesday. The victim told police he was awak- ened around 4:15 a.m. by three men who had gained entry to his Valley Ridge Crescent home. The three sus- pects repeatedly punched the victim before tying him up with duct tape, police said. The thieves left the home, in the Al- tona Road-Twyn Rivers Drive area, with a 42-inch plasma TV, the victim’s cell- phone and wallet, and his 2005 BMW, police said. The man was eventually able to free himself and call police. He told police he’d been robbed by four men in their 20s. Investigators said credit cards from the man’s wallet were used in Scarbor- ough stores about an hour after the at- tack. They’re still looking for the silver, four-door car, which has the licence plate AWEK 286. Durham’s water and sewer systems already ahead of provincial recommendations By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — The Region is already ahead on some of a provincial water report’s recommendations, but offi- cials agree aging infrastructure must be addressed. The Ontario water strategy expert panel’s report says $34 billion in new investment over the next 15 years is needed to help the province’s water and sewage systems. Durham has some areas, such as downtown Whit- by, where pipes are close to 100 years old, said Cliff Curtis, the Region’s com- missioner of works. “We have a lot of stuff done in the twenties and thirties that is starting to require some more attention,” he said. The age, combined with some cor- rosive soil in Durham, means the Re- gion’s system has some issues. “We’re trying to baby the system as long as we can.” That means relining pipes and some galvanic protection, Mr. Curtis added. Water and sewer systems are paid for by the users, who can expect to see some “substantial increases” over the next five years, he said. The Region is trying to smooth any major capital investments so users are not hit with “o verly dramatic” increases. The panel also suggested creating an independent economic regulator -- the Ontario Water Board -- to set rates and review business plans. This would remove water and sewer debates out of local political hands, Mr. Curtis said. “I’m not sure whether that would be good or bad, but would remove it from the political arena,” he said. “It would be like a cable company having to go to a board to get rate increases, not from council.” Claremont crowds treated to fast action By Derek Giberson Staff Writer CLAREMONT — At the rodeo, it’s all or nothing, and only seconds to decide. Watching contestants compete at the Claremont Lions Rodeo last week- end was a lot like watching shorter track and field events: So much ef- fort, so much focus all channelled into such a short span of time. Then, it’s over and a cowboy or cowgirl leaves the ring almost as quickly as they entered, some satis- fied and others with a look of dis- appointment thrust very suddenly upon them. “The good comes with the bad,” said Richard Atchison, 16, of Hol- stein, Ont., describing the nature of the rodeo events. He was competing in the tie-down roping competition, Pickering may be headed for a dry spell Liquor store employees poised to strike at 12:01 a.m. Thursday By Jennifer Stone and Danielle Milley Staff Writers DURHAM — What has already been an extremely dry summer weather- wise may get a little drier, as LCBO employees sit on the brink of a strike. However, spirits would still be high in Claremont. About 84 per cent of unionized li- quor store employees rejected the provincially-controlled liquor board’s latest offer, which included an 11 per cent raise over four years. Workers are seeking a promise they won’t lose their jobs if the government allows the LCBO to be privatized. The two sides were under media black out Tuesday, as talks continued. A strike could begin as early as 12:01 a.m. Thursday, should no deal be reached. If LCBO employees do go on strike, local residents will still be able to ac- cess some forms of alcohol. For ex- ample, private vineyards in Durham will continue to sell their product. Em- ployees of The Beer Store will remain on the job. As well, there are a number of LCBO agency stores in Durham Re- gion, including Claremont. The hamlet’s Country Depot on Hox- ton Street is licensed to sell wine, beer, liquor and coolers. “The LCBO managers have assured Annual r odeo a high-stakes contest Man beaten, restrained in Pickering home invasion ✦ See Wineries, Page A5 MAJOR FUN This Mini has it Wheels pullout FALL IN LINE Check out the City’s leisure guide Inside the News Advertiser CHAMPIONS Club finds success in hard work Page B1 ✦ See Region, Page A5 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Rick Cook, left, and Scott MacDonald keep their eye on the prize during the Team Rop- ing event at the Claremont Rodeo on the weekend.✦ See Claremont, Page A4 STEELING THE SHOW Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Maydene Herman handled the steel drums for New Dimension, which performed Saturday at the Carnival in the Village.

Mmmmm.....Mmmmm..... .com.com Deal for 300 employees runs through to Aug. 31 By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Approximately 300 support staff at Durham College have been asked to reject the latest con- tract offer by the Ministry of Educa- tion on Aug. 4 and vote to strike. Members with the Ontario Pub- lic Services Union (OPSEU) have been negotiating a new deal with the Ministry since January. Contracts for more than 6,000 support staff -- including clerical, maintenance and information technology workers -- will expire at 24 colleges across Ontario on Aug. 31. “We need to show them that we’re tired of taking second-best,” Rod Be- mister, chairman of the union’s bar- gaining team said. “In the classroom, the faculty rule the roost. Everything else we do -- it’s our job. We’re asking for the (Ministry) to respect the work that we do.” Mr. Bemister said the union is not satisfied with the deal being offered by the Ministry -- a four-year term with an annual pay hike maxing out at three percent. His team is asking for a total pay package of four per cent per year, a shorter contract term as well as a recognition allowance. Glenn Toikka, chairman of the management’s bargaining team, said both sides were very close to reach- ing a settlement. “We had momentum going, but it was just neither one of us was willing to make any moves off our positions,” Mr. Toikka said. “The one thing that we didn’t understand when we left the table was that there was going to be a strike vote. We thought it was just going to be a vote on the con- tract.” He said further negotiations have been planned at the end of August to avoid a strike. “The support staff are an integral part of the college. The colleges just couldn’t run for very long without support staff,” Mr. Toikka said. “What we have to do is look at value of work for dollars received. “We have to look at competitors -- what would a similar job out in the marketplace receive, and are we in the right wage range?” The last time college support staff went on strike was 1979. A contract was approved within weeks. Durham College support workers want ‘respect’ as contract expires By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — An arbitrator has been called in to try to negotiate a settle- ment between Hydro One and 1,000 striking energy professionals. The arbitrator, William Kaplan, was appointed by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty last Friday. About 1,000 Hydro One workers, including engineers and technicians, have been on strike since early June, protesting a contract offer that in- cludes wage and benefit decreases for new workers, and increased work hours without increased compensa- tion for existing staffers. Union officials have said on a num- ber of occasions that the premier needed to step in to get the two sides back to the table. “It’s a very positive sign that Pre- mier McGuinty has ordered this in- volvement,” said Andrew Muller, president of the Society of Energy Professionals. “We’re hoping this fa- cilitator will push us back to the table to get a deal.” The two sides remain fairly far apart, hinted Mr. Muller. “I can’t reveal the details, but this is not an easy thing. It’s still a struggle,” he said. Pickets have occurred at sites across the province since the strike began, including at OPG plants, where Hydro One equipment is located. On June 23, traffic was snarled on surrounding roads, and workers were brought in via helicopter and other means, due to pickets outside OPG’s Darlington Nuclear Plant. Similar pickets have occurred at other OPG sites, prompting OPG, for a short time, to have some essential staffers sleep overnight on a number of occasions, at triple pay, to ensure plants were able to continue produc- ing electricity. OPG has filed a $50- million statement of claim against the union, to recoup money for items like lost time, overtime, special transpor- tation, and electricity output lost. OPG has since won an injunction, being challenged by the union, to stop pickets from impeding work- ers trying to get in and out of their plants.

Competitors only get one chance to throw a loop around the calf, and if they miss, the only thing they walk away with, as they say at the rodeos, is the audience’s applause. “It’s pretty high stakes,” agrees Donna Painter, a Lions Club member and one of the event organizers. Rodeos such as this, she noted, play a role in keeping “the history and spirit of cow- boys and the west alive.” The location of the Claremont rodeo is unique. All the other rodeos in Ontario, aside from the championships in Missis- sauga in September, are held in rural areas far from major urban centres. “We’re the only one in the area,” said Ms. Painter. “How many kids in the city get to go to a rodeo?” Regardless of the outcome for partici- pants, Richard pointed out that it’s always worthwhile just for the thrill, and because, “You get to do what you love.” Right now he’s putting his efforts into the tie-down roping competition, so he doesn’t have time for the bull-riding -- yet. “I’d like to but my mom won’t let me.” P PA GE A4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 27, 2005 Mattress SetsMattress Sets Single from $159 Double from $199 Queen from $259 CASH & CARRY Durham's ONE & ONLYDurham's ONE & ONLY Factory DirectFactory Direct WHY PAY RETAIL?WHY PAY RETAIL? www.factorymattress.com Pillow Tops Futon & Futon Covers Memory Foam Mattresses Upholstered Headboards Special Sizes Available Fabric Remnants Wrought Iron Bed Many styles to choose from (Mattress extra) $268 Wood Futon (Complete with mattress) $449 1650 Bayly St., Pickering HOURS: Mon. - Wed. 10am-6pm Thurs. - Fri. 10am-9pm Saturday 10:30am-6pm Sunday 12pm-4pm Open Sunday from September to end of May HWY #401 1650 BAYLY ST.LIVERPOOL RD.BROCK RD.N E S W (905) 837-0288 1-888-220-2282 www.factorymattress.com rrs TM AJAX 427-7708 282 Monarch Ave. Mon-Fri: 9:30-9 • Sat: 9:30-5:30 • Sun: 11-5 Canada’s Largest Liquidator Over 100 locations! • Safety bars • Scales • Shower curtains • Shower hooks • Cabinets • Vanities • Towel bars • Toilet seats • Bath mat sets • Laundry tubs And much more!99¢-$1699 Priced from… Compare at $4.99 - $39.99 SHOWERED IN AVINGS!

Should a strike hit, there are other options for getting your favourite drinks. ✦ Wineries from page A1 Wineries, beer stores still serving Some of the report’s other recom- mendations, including consolidating services, has already happened in Dur- ham. The panel was commissioned by the Province in 2004 to look at the best ways to organize water and sewer sys- tems while ensuring safe, clean and affordable services. It also came out of the inquiry into the May 2000 Walkerton tragedy that saw seven people die from drinking water contaminated with E. coli bacte- ria. ✦ Region from page A1 Reg ion taking stock of infrastructure DURHAM — The Region has cau- tiously lifted parts of its water ban in eastern Durham, allowing residents to use their hoses and sprinklers for one hour a day, every other day. “I want to stress it’s very important that people realize this is not an oppor- tunity to suddenly drench their lawns and gardens,” said Thom Sloley, plant operations manager with the works de- partment. “This is a cautious return to watering.” Giant gobs of algae are still plagu- ing the Whitby plant, divers confirmed Monday afternoon. That, combined with a lack of rain and hot and humid weather forced an outdoor water ban in Oshawa, Whitby, Brooklin and Courtice. But conservation efforts by the majority of residents have paid off, allowing the Region to get reservoirs up to “reason- able operating levels,” Mr. Sloley said. “We have to remain conservation- minded in our water use or else we’ll be back in a water ban situation in a matter of days,” he said, adding the Region ex- pects the one-hour limit every other day will remain for the rest of the summer. “Most residents understand that if it comes down to a choice between hav- ing water to drink and fight fires with, or having a lush, green lawn, the choice should be easy.” There have been concerns about the potential for more grass fires given the hot and dry conditions, but that doesn’t appear to be a problem in Ajax. “No, it’s actually been quiet,” says Thom Evered, the Town’s chief fire pre- vention officer. “Touch wood, there’s been nothing serious.” He notes there’s a ban on open-air burning not only in Ajax but across the province. Such fires can only be done with a permit, he adds. As for Pickering, it’s been an average year. Fire Chief Bill Douglas said the 17 fires the city’s had in June and July is normal. “It is about right, they go up and down (from year to year),” he said, adding there haven’t been any big ones yet this year. He reminds people not to burn on their property. “The biggest issue I have is that people don’t burn in the rural area where there is long grass because we’ve lost some garages and barns and almost lost some houses,” he said.

EDITORIAL Officer writes of policing challenges To the editor: Re: Two-year probe into drug unit ends, no charges, July 13. It is finally time to firmly put this situation in the past. Policing is a dangerous occu- pation. As police officers, we are supposed to bring about calm and order when summoned to deal with irrational and abnor- mal behaviour. We are tasked with combating deviance and crime, while we are bound to operate within rules mandating courtesy and respect. We are expected to be all things to all people and oper- ate under a microscope at all times. We see people at their very worst. We most often get involved only when something has gone terribly wrong. Our profession receives the high- est of scrutiny and criticism. Everyone knows our three-digit phone number (911), as we are expected to take charge and immediately solve the widest ranging of problems. Very often, we then “get it” from both sides. No matter what we do, some- body is going to be angry and hold us in contempt. Having said all this, no one said this job was going to be easy. I have never met an officer who joined policing to become rich or famous. We certainly didn’t embark on a policing ca- reer to become infamous. We became police officers to par- ticipate in a most honourable profession and to try and do the right thing. I wish the good folks of Dur- ham would take a moment to consider what their police officers deal with on a daily basis and tolerate throughout their careers. I would hope that when people see or deal with a member of the Durham Regional Police Service, they will share a smile, a wink or a wave of support. Please let that police officer (and/or civilian member) know that they are appreciated for what they do and what they are endeavour- ing to accomplish. Tom Andrews Pickering Province doing right thing for preserve To the editor: I had the pleasure of meet- ing Silvio De Gasperis at the provincial government’s open house on the development plan for Seaton. He’s one of the developers who bought much of the Duffins Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve six years ago. He wants to build houses on that protected, prime farm land - - though he bought it subject to an agreement between the Province, Pickering and the Re- gion that it would be used for agricultural purposes only, in perpetuity. If he gets his way, thousands of homes will be built both in Seaton and on the agricultural preserve and Mr. De Gasperis would profit handsomely. Mr. De Gasperis and other developers who own land in the agricultural preserve oppose the Province’s plan for Seaton. The West Duffins Landown- ers Group -- which has a long distance phone number from Pickering and which hasn’t returned my messages -- im- plored residents to come out to save coldwater streams and aquifers, and to demand pro- tection for First Nations cultur- al heritage sites. They are envi- ronmentalists and historians at heart. Especially if they’re try- ing to save land they don’t own so they can build on the land they do. Environmental protection groups that have considered the Province’s plan for Seaton approve of that plan. It allows for significant growth while saving two-thirds of the Seaton lands and 100 per cent of the preserve. It incorporated con- sultation with aboriginal rep- resentatives and protects and respects cultural heritage sites of all types. The West Duffins Landown- ers Group appears to have only one interest: to delay the Prov- ince in order to keep its own plan alive. The provincial gov- ernment’s resolve to save the agricultural preserve should be applauded. Even if there’s no profit in it for Mr. De Gasperis. Don Harvey Pickering LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Take the guesswork out of drive home O ver the past four or five years, anyone travelling on the Don Valley Park- way will have noticed the in- stallation of a number of large, electronic billboards. These huge signs, located strategically along the busiest stretches of the route, broadcast informa- tion to commuters regarding the flow of traffic. They do this through a complex and I am sure, very expensive, system of cameras and computers that constantly monitor the road- way and provide almost instan- taneous feedback of a priceless nature to harried drivers. For instance, you may find yourself imprisoned in the stench and heat of four o’clock rush hour, out of your mind with frustra- tion, when suddenly you look up and a pixilated revelation like “DVP moving slowly from Eglinton to 401” pulls you back from the brink. And is it possible to calcu- late how many lives have been saved by these five flashing words of wisdom “Buckle up. Seatbelts save lives”? It really is remarkable. If you watch carefully, and generally this is not difficult as the DVP is moving slowly from Eglinton to 401, you can ac- tually see hundreds of people slapping themselves in the forehead and reaching for their seatbelts as they pass beneath these splendid reminders. Your tax dollars at work. “DVP moving slowly...” Yes. We get it. We know the DVP is moving slowly. Does it ever move un-slowly? Wouldn’t it be so much more effective if these signs actually gave us informa- tion that was helpful or at least told it like it really is? “DVP moving slowly from here to Eglinton. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em pal, you’re here for the duration. And you better call the wife, you’re not mak- ing that dinner with the Felder- sons.” Or maybe, “Left lane ahead blocked by some loser who wasn’t paying attention while he yapped on his cellphone. Angry? His home phone num- ber is 555-1212.” A little trivia might make the drive home a heck of a lot more bearable as well. Why not “DVP moving slowly... did you know a cockroach can live for nine days without its head?” If they got really clever, they could even work in a theme here and there. “Don’t tailgate... have you had your prostate checked lately?” or “Thinking of coming out of the closet? Call the Gay support network... Al- ways look twice before chang- ing lanes.” I also think those dozens of cameras could be put to much better use. With all of that spy- ing going on I am sure they’re seeing a lot of stuff the rest of us are missing. Important stuff. Don’t you think those electron- ic message boards would have a whole lot more “watch-abil- ity” if we started seeing things like this popping up on them: “Always leave two car lengths in between... and Frank, your wife is fooling around with the Roto- rooter man.” Or, “Slow down, arrive alive... Sheila, does that blouse go with those pants? What were you thinking?” I think these ideas have some merit. Right now it just seems like we’re spending oodles of money so we can be told what all of us already know. Slow down, buckle up, be patient. So what else is new? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Looking for a helpful sign from above Neil Crone enter laughing IN THE COMMUNITY Finding efficiencies a must in this new health environment A bedside manner, quality care and the best health profession- als have long been the cornerstones of Ontario hospitals. Just as much of a reality in this new health care delivery world, however, is the need for creativity. With every dollar and every cent counting against mounting bills, there’s never been more need to be creative than now. That was part of the thinking behind the decision just over six months ago by Lakeridge Health Corporation and Rouge Valley Health System to introduce two shared vice-president positions to oversee the two organizations’ six health sites. With the trial period now over, it would seem by all accounts that the test has been a solid success. Lakeridge and Rouge Valley recently announced the positions are being made permanent, with a number of expected benefits and commonalities achieved, and a few unexpected surprises as well. Through the partnership, the two were able to save on admin- istrative costs, share key data and information, and Lakeridge is helping Rouge Valley with its move to a health information man- agement system. That assistance on the new system is expected to save Rouge Valley $3 million. So, patients, visitors to the hospital sites and the public in general have benefited already by the move to share VPs, and that’s just the beginning. Going forward, officials believe making the positions permanent means the collaboration should help in the retention of staff, will help with the attraction of key medical personnel and will lead to other efficiencies. It also comes at a time where the Province is rolling out its new Local Health Integration Networks and the ‘two heads are better than one’ theory will certainly help with some of the unfamiliarity and uncertainty that is coming with the new net- works. All that said, the pilot project didn’t go off without any concerns. In a survey of staff at both organizations, some issue was taken with the sometimes lack of accessibility to the vice-presidents. The hospitals hope by realigning support staff, however, they will allay some of the concerns. Certainly, the sharing of VPs isn’t going to cure what ails Rouge Valley’s or Lakeridge’s financial sheets. In fact, it will only make a small dent. But, it’s key all hospitals continue to explore every po- tential avenue for potential savings. Because, short of the Province (and federal government) finally admitting some form of private-sector partnerships are needed if we are to save our core public health system, these are the types of savings that must be found to chip away at the mounting costs. Rouge Valley on right track with shared VP Canada Day celebration Nicole Elliott sent us this digitally altered image taken by Gaetano Della-Fortuna of a Canada Day breakfast celebration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints members. Approximately 120 en- joyed an old-fashioned pancake breakfast with the 4th Pickering Scout Tr oop raising the flag. The church is at 119 Church St. in Ajax with the congregation coming from Ajax and Pickering. Recently, there was a change in the church’s Bishopric, Nicole says. The new Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Pickering/Ajax area is James Kennedy and his appointed counsellors are Norman Brady and Brian Burnett.

The cor- rect way to light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning on the gas. When you are finished barbecuing, turn off the propane cylinder valve and then the barbecue burners. Always use and store your barbecue and propane cylinder out- doors. For information about cleaning and maintaining your barbecue, read the manufacturer’s instructions.

Sutton Group-Heritage Realty and Deer Creek are organizing a fundraising golf tournament at Deer Creek Golf Club on Thursday, Aug. 11 in aid of Sean En- right, who suffered serious injuries after coming into contact with high-voltage wires and falling approximately 16 feet from a tree while attempting to rescue an animal. The accident left him a quad- riplegic. The fundraiser’s goal is to purchase a mobility van for Sean and his wife Shelley, who’s an employee at Sutton Group-Heritage Realty. Pat Clark, a realtor at the firm, says hopefully the proceeds will go a long way toward purchasing the van, which would allow the Pickering couple greater free- dom, including trips to Variety Village where Enright can undergo needed aqua therapy. Cost for golf, dinner and dance is $200. Dinner and dance only is $100. There will also be a silent auction and a live auction that evening, with all pro- ceeds toward the purchase of the van.

[ Volleyball ] Durham Attack garners hardware DURHAM — The Durham Attack Volleyball club, the largest of its kind in the province, was recently recognized at the provincial and national level for its long-standing success. In addition to the club receiving achievement awards from the Ontario and Canadian volleyball associations, three dedicated members were singled out. Whitby resident Karen Johnson was honoured for her tireless work. “Karen was recognized, not only for her coaching abilities and her volunteer work with the club, but also her efforts helping the Ontario Volleyball Association in medical situations as she is nurse,” said Attack Vice-President Janet Cairns. Another Whitbyite, Evan Williams, who is currently in Winnipeg working with the national program, was re- warded for his efforts in coaching and developing talent within the club. “Evan has been very successful in his time with us,” said Cairns. “We value his ability and passion for the game very much.” Cairns was the third member of the club to be recognized. The Oshawa resident, along with her husband, founded the club back in 1997 and has been coaching within the club since that time. In addition, she is head of operations for the entire female divi- sion of the club. “I love being a part of this organiza- tion,” she said. “We have been very suc- cessful and I can only hope it continues.” [ Lacrosse ] Ajax-Pickering Rock playoff schedule • Game 3: Thursday, July 28, at Kitchener-Waterloo, 8:30 p.m.; • Game 4: Saturday, July 30, at Pick- ering Recreation Complex, at 8 p.m.;* • Game 5: Tuesday, Aug. 2, at Kitch- ener-Waterloo, at 8:30 p.m.* * if necessary A soccer season to remember Winning no accident, says Pickering Soccer Club’s head coach By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The summer isn’t even over yet, but the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC) is enjoying a season like no other in its recent history. More specifically, the 4,000-mem- ber strong club is winning tournament hardware at a torrid pace. At last count, PSC head coach Tony La Ferrara notes the club’s boys’ and girls’ rep teams have competed at 26 tourneys this summer, and thus far have won 20 champion- ships. “That’s amazing, totally amazing. And, practically all of the teams from under-eight to under-15 and under-17 are winning. It kind of incorporates ev- eryone. The only way to measure (the club’s success) is are teams winning? They are, so we must be doing some- thing right.” La Ferrara, who joined the club as head coach a year-and-a-half ago, says a confluence of factors has made it a season to remember for a number of rep teams, which have more than held their own against the province’s best. A host of new programs, designed to increase skills, a staff of hard-working volunteer coaches and wholehearted parental support have paid dividends. “When you add all these things to- gether, it’s no coincidence that good things are happening. Everything you do, as small as it may be, sometimes it may help a little bit and sometimes it helps a lot,” says La Ferrara, while overseeing one of the club’s week-long summer camps at the Diana, Princess of Wales Park recently. This past winter, the PSC organized a goalkeeper program over a 20-week pe- riod, helping all its young keepers hone their skills. During that time, there was also a speed and conditioning program at Dunbarton High School for the club’s provincial teams, that was administered by Colleen and Tony Sharpe and Olym- pic hurdler Mark McCoy. Last spring, the PSC instituted a series of fitness evaluations for its players, says La Ferrara, which helped to identify the needs of the vast majority of the club’s players. “It told the players ‘this is where you are and this is where you need to be’,” he says. This summer, the PSC is at it again. Along with the games and practices for its teams, the club is also hosting a series of week-long camps. The camps have come with an impressive list of guest coaches, including Patrick Tobo, who played for Cameroon in the World Cup, Carl Fletcher, a member of Canada’s national men’s soccer team, and Paul James, who has coached the Canadian men’s under-20 teams. As the PSC’s head coach, hired by club president Terry Gariba for the part-time role, La Ferrara has been impressed with the willingness of the players, coaches and parents to work together, especially the coaches who’ve been single-minded in their determination to upgrade the skills of their players. “The coaches have been extremely dedicated. It’s true -- they put dozens of hours into every week working with the kids, practising and training. They attend coaching workshops on a regular basis. They’re willing to learn and will- ing to put in the time with the kids,” he says. While La Ferrara has tailored pro- grams within the club to get maximum player involvement, as well as maximum benefit, there are storm clouds looming off in the distance. La Ferrara points to a severe lack of facilities that could ham- per the progress of the up-and-coming club, which is striving to become a force on the provincial youth soccer scene. “In the next three years we have a goal to be one of the top four clubs in all of Ontario... and we’re making tremen- dous strides to get there. We want to be able to compete with the good clubs, but we’re competing against clubs which have much more resources than we have in terms of fields. That’s one of the things we lack in Pickering,” explains La Ferrara. “We need more support (from the City of Pickering). We need more fields and better fields.” The head coach noted the club has made do with alternative training facili- ties, using a golf dome in Scarborough, for example, for some of its winter pro- grams, as well as other facilities in Ajax and Whitby. “We need our own facilities,” he says. “We can’t keep knocking on someone else’s door. After a while, they’re going to kick you out and say go and find your own. “A t some point, the City has to step up. Darlington has got (an indoor facility); Whitby’s got one; Scarborough’s got one; We don’t have one,” he says. Steve Reynolds, the City of Pickering’s division head of culture and recreation, notes the City has a good relationship with the PSC executive and has worked closely with it in joint field projects. “A s Pickering grows, we’re looking at building additional fields to meet the needs of the association,” says Reynolds, adding that the City and the club part- nered on a lighting project for fields at Kinsmen Park. As for an indoor soccer facility, Reyn- olds says it has been identified in the recreation, parks and culture master plan as a future need. “We’ll be working with the soccer club to make that a reality,” he says.

Ten years after last competing, swimmers going for gold at worlds By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — It’s been a wonderful and productive trip back in time for Robyn Parashyniak and a group of her longtime synchro swimming friends. The 28-year-old behavioural thera- pist and a group of seven 20-something teammates from the Durham Synchro Club, who last competed 10 years ago, are having the time of their lives climb- ing back in the pool as adults in master synchro swimming competitions. They’re not only competing and hav- ing a blast — they’re winning, too. The eight-member Durham Synchro Masters team captured three gold med- als in the pool at the recent Canadian National Masters Synchro Swim Cham- pionships in Toronto, which earned the squad a trip to the World Masters Synchro Swimming Championships, starting this weekend. The group leaves today (Wednesday) for Edmonton. “We feel like we’re teenagers again,” says Parashyniak, originally from Ajax and now living in Courtice. “We all have lives outside of the pool, but when we get back in the pool, we feel like we’re 15 or 16 years old again. We’re not old by any means, but it keeps us young.” Parashyniak will be joined in Ed- monton by Tara Agnew (nee Fowler), of Whitby, Kirsten Mills, of Pickering, Lori Noiles (nee Durand), of Ajax, Teri Pearce, of Ajax (who also serves as the team’s coach), Vanessa Reeves, of Pick- ering, Shannon Savage (nee Murdock), of Whitby and formerly of Ajax, and Joy Simon, of Scarborough. The trip to worlds was made possible after an outstanding national mas- ters competition. The team members placed first in the technical team com- petition and first in the free routine. Mills and Savage earned gold in the duet competition, finishing first in tech- nical routine and first in the free. Simon earned gold for her solo performance. Durham women in synch in pool once again Rock clawed by Kodiaks in lacrosse opener Game 3 returns to K-W tomorrow night By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — A short-staffed Ajax- Pickering Rock was no match for the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks in their OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse semifinal series opener in Waterloo Sunday. The Rock, which were minus four key players, fell behind early in absorbing a 9-5 defeat at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex. The Rock could find themselves be- hind the 8-ball in the best-of-five series, pending the outcome of Game 2 at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Tues- day night, with the result unavailable at press time. Game 3 in the series goes in Waterloo tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:30 p.m. The two teams engaged in a low-scor- ing affair in Game 1, with the Kodiaks going wire-to-wire for the victory, lead- ing Ajax-Pickering 2-1 after the first pe- riod and 5-2 after the second. A rough start, aided by a four-minute high-sticking penalty to Rock’s Frank Lit- tlejohn, who was also assessed a game misconduct, allowed the Kodiaks to score two power-play goals to not only get an early cushion, but also shift the momentum in the contest. The Rock were without Jason Crosbie out of the lineup, ill with a high fever, along with Dan Ladouceur (work com- mitments), Pat Vanhooser (wedding) and Shawn Summerfield (ankle injury). Nonetheless, Rock head coach-gen- eral manager Paul St. John was pleased with the work ethic exhibited by the players, especially Jeremy Scheetz, Gra- ham Passmore and Kevin Taylor, who filled the void admirably. “I thought we competed well. We never quit,” he says. “We didn’t expect we were going to win three straight. We knew Game 1 was going to be tough but, now, we have to make sure we play well at home and, hopefully, we can take either Game 3 or Game 5 up there.” Mark Craig led the Rock with a two- goal effort. Other goals scorers were Jaime Lumsden, Jim Veltman and John Derochie. Pebbles Record: 0-1 (Semifi- nal series vs. K-W Rock coach Paul St. John says Shawn Summerfield will be lost indefinitely with an ankle injury, although Sum- merfield is making the case to play... Brad Cann was a game-time decision for Game 2 after a shoulder injury in Game 1... The other series between Mohawk Stars and Owen Sound Woodsmen has been marred by a ugly incident Saturday in Game 1 in Owen Sound. Players from the Stars entered the stands to confront fans. Two Mo- hawk players and the team manager were immediately suspended by senior ‘B’ commissioner Mac Mason... That series is tied 1-1. Owen Sound won Game 1 18-9, with the Stars evening the series with a 11-7 win in Game 2 Sunday. ✦ See Durham, Page B2 A/P PA GE B2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 27, 2005 LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY!

Parashyniak says the eight women have kept in touch over the years since they stopped competing at age 18, with most going on to college or university at that time. Most of the friends have known each other since age 11 through swimming at the Durham club. “Ten years later, we’ve stayed in touch. We get together at Christmas time,” says Parashyniak. But, with the world masters coming to Canada, the girlfriends, at the behest of Pearce, made the commitment to train and prepare for the high-level competition. The training started last September, but it wasn’t anything akin to jumping on a well-worn bicycle, ex- plains Parashyniak. It was a lot harder than that. “We had no idea what we were doing,” laughs Parashyniak. “When we went upside down in the water, it was like a completely foreign world. We would do a lap of the pool and be com- pletely exhausted.” The friends, however, stuck with the training regimen, swimming four hours per week, two hours per session, at Pickering’s Dunbarton pool and at the Anne Ottenbrite pool at the Whitby Iroquois Sports Centre. Last April, at a regional competition in Ottawa, the group won gold in the team category. The team moved on to the Provincial Synchro Swimming Tier Champion- ships in Waterloo in May where the team again won gold. During the regionals and provincials, the team’s solo and duet swimmers also captured medals. At worlds, Parashyniak says she and her teammates have high expectations. “Well, we have our fingers crossed... There’s one team we haven’t seen. If we can beat them, we’re going to get gold,” she predicts. Scoreboard JULY 27, 2005 Le g ionnaires offer rugby for area young women Pickering under-19s make debut a winning one against Brock County PICKERING — The Pickering Le- gionnaires Rugby Football Club is invit- ing young women to join in the game. Founded by Dunbarton High School rugby coach James Blair, the Legion- naires are filling a void in the area for teens looking for a place to continue learning the game during the summer months. The Legionnaires are currently run- ning teams in three age groups -- full- contact under-15 years, under-17 and under-19 programs -- all of which com- pete in the Toronto Rugby Union. Last Wednesday, the under-19 Le- gionaires posted their second win of the season with a 22-5 victory over the Markham RFC in Markham. Early in the game, Pickering’s Jordon Budway scored a super try (five points) with the help of Jenn Wakefield and Syd- nie Campbell. With about 17 left in the first half, Legionnaires’ Sydnie Campball fought her way through three or four Markham defenders to score Pickering’s second try. Campbell’s try was set off a great ruck, which was won fast and clear by the Pickering forwards who worked the ball free to scrum half Ms. Kelly Rapson who, in turn, spun the ball just outside of the break down to Camp- bell. Jenn Wakefield’s conversion kick brought the score to 12-0 for Pickering. Markham scored a try with about six minutes remaining in the first half, about two metres away from the touch line. Pickering answered by scoring its third try with an amazing display of team- work. With only moments left in the opening half, Wakefield restarted the game with a great drop kick deep into Markham’s forward pack. Pickering’s forwards challenged, which caused a Markham player to knock the ball for- ward. Wakefield picked up the loose ball and fought to within two metres of the Markham goal line where she was pulled down by three defenders. With great teamwork and support from Pick- ering forwards, Wakefield popped the ball to Jennifer De Grace who was able to scramble the extra few meters to mark Pickering’s third try. The second half belonged to the Le- gionnaires from the first whistle. With much-improved communication be- tween the forwards and the backs, Pick- ering held Markham in its end for almost the entire second half. With great communication and the use of practised plays and switches, Pickering’s backs led by Chloe Stroud, Jessica Tobin, Lindsay Marshall, Kate Cotter, Kristy Munsie and Brittanie To wnsend were able to prevent any Markham advances. The last try of the game was scored by Ms Jenn Wakefield scored the last try of the game, running who ran through six Markham forwards off an eight-man pick, to score Pickering’s fourth try. The under-19 team made its home- field debut against the Brock County RFC, with the Legionnaires winning 10- 5 recently. Jenn Wakefield and Jordon Budway scored tries for Pickering. The Legionnaires’ next home game is tonight (Wednesday) against the Co- bourg Saxons RFC under-19s at Dunbar- ton High School at 6:30 p.m. Next month, the club hosts its inaugu- ral Pickering Legionnaires Junior Girls’ Rugby Tournament on Sunday, Aug. 7 at Dunbarton, 655 Sheppard Avenue at Whites Road. The tournament features teams in the girls’ under-15 and under-17 categories. Blair says he’s hoping the tournament will offer further opportunities for the growth of the sport for young women in Durham Region. Membership is open to any female living in the Ajax, Whitby, Pickering or Scarborough areas who’s not 19 years of age as of Jan. 1 of this year. No rugby experience is required other than an interest in the game.

Actually, CBS is counting on ‘Bach- elor of Nothing’. The rock band, featur- ing three Ajax men, is playing the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto this Thursday, July 28, and the show is free to anyone who’s donated blood in the past week. The idea for the blood donations came to the band after the recent Lon- don terrorist bombings. Band spokes- man Peter ‘Bugs’ Wilson, said the show had been set up well before the bomb- ings, but they decided to waive the $10 cover to the show for blood donors to help make a difference. They contacted CBS with the idea and they were quick to agree. “They were really excited to work with us,” Wilson said. “(The idea) was just a realization there’s a need there in the summer.” The band, which plays “riff rock, gui- tar rock”, has been together for about two years, says Wilson. Wilson plays drums, while fellow Ajacians Adam Halsey, on lead guitar, and Mike Ritchie, on bass guitar, are joined by lead singer, guitarist, Brian ‘Skid’ Watson. They formed the band in London, Ont., where they went to university to- gether. Wilson and Halsey, however, go back to their teens in Ajax when they began playing together. All in their mid- to late-20s, Wilson said their mu- sical influences growing up were Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, but they don’t sound like them. He describes Bachelor of Nothing’s music to be similar to Guns ‘N Roses and Good Charlotte. They play their own original music and independently have produced two albums. Wilson said they are ex- cited at the possibility of working with Mike Clink, who has produced Guns ‘N Roses’ albums, and has contacted Bachelor. But, until that is ironed out, they are considering going ahead with another independent album. They write their own music and Wilson said they all collaborate in the songwriting process. “Somebody will bring an idea in and then we’ll all tweak it,” he said. “It’s a group effort.” Wilson’s favourite song is ‘I Just Wanna Rock,’ which he called the band’s anthem. “It talks about the music business -- the fame and the money,” he said. “But it’s just ’cause you wanna rock.” Recently they were back in Oshawa playing The Dungeon and he said the band plays a couple of times a month, bringing in 1,500 fans to many of the shows. In a press release, Renee Naiman, Central Ontario Regional director for CBS, said Canadians need to know that just one donation can save or improve up to three lives.” Halsey added, “We are challenging all Canadians, as well as other perform- ers, to get out and donate.” To g ain free entrance to the show, blood donors must show their ‘Vitality’ wristband. To find a blood donor clinic, go on- line to www.bloodservices.ca or call 1- 888-236-6283. The Hard Rock Cafe is at 279 Yonge St. in Toronto. The show starts at 8 p.m. and is restricted to those 19 and older. Bachelor is out for blood from its fans Aj ax ac tress gets Naked gig Sadie LeBlanc plays talk show host AJAX — An Ajax actress isn’t Josh- ing about being on TV. Sadie LeBlanc makes an appear- ance on Naked Josh on Showcase, tonight, July 27, at 9 p.m. She plays Connie, a “sex talk show host who’s really exuberant, really fun. She’s quite comical,” LeBlanc says. Naked Josh is about a sex anthro- pologist and university professor looking for love. The episode was filmed in Mon- treal. She also just finished filming a movie in Montreal, called ‘Platinum Rush,’ with Kelly Martin, formerly of ER. Martin also has a show on the Hallmark Channel in the U.S. LeBlanc says there’s the possibility her character on Naked Josh could become a recurring one, noting show executives “really liked my episode. They’ve had talk of bringing her back.” A difficulty is the character was de- veloped for one episode and it could be hard to bring her back. LeBlanc attended Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School and Pickering High School. She also attended York University in the drama program. Bachelor of Nothing is offering free admission to its concert tomorrow, for anyone of- fering a blood donation over the past week. The local band is, from left, Adam Halsey, Brian ‘Skid’ Watson, Peter ‘Bugs’ Wilson and Mike Ritchie. A/P PA GE B4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JULY 27, 2005 ++ *On Prestige Series only.

The concerts are Thursday nights at 7 p.m. Inaugural Durham Region Music Awards coming in fall DURHAM — The Durham Region Mu sic Society is looking for more local country musicians for its inaugural music awards. After putting out the call in the spring for nominations for best Durham musi- cians in 10 categories, the society got more than 100 CDs from groups, includ- ing about 20 for best jazz group, said president Howard Ross. However, only about a few entries were received in the country category, he said. The society is encouraging more groups and individuals to send in nomi- nations, he said. Otherwise, the group is pleased with the response for the first Durham Region Music Awards, to be held Sept. 21 as part of the Town’s sesquicentennial celebra- tions, he said. Nominations are being accepted until Aug. 1. The awards are open to musi- cians who have lived in Durham Region over the last two years and have recorded material or those living elsewhere who have recorded in Durham, Ross said. The idea behind the awards is to rec- ognize the many talented musicians in Durham for their work and their con- tributions to the arts community and to make the public aware of the depth of talent here, Ross, of the Full Count Blues Band, said. Formed in 2004, the society is a not- for-profit group designed to promote musicians and live music events in Dur- ham. The more than 240 members offer up a wide range of talents and skills, which include performing and pro- ducing music and lighting, staging and sound work. For a list of categories, criteria, a list of where nomination forms are available, go to www.durhamregionmusicsociety. com. Each nomination, apart from those for best live act, live venue and friend of the arts, must be accompanied by a CD or demo. Judges will pick the top three in each category. These nominees will be invited to the awards presentation at the Centennial Building in Whitby where the winners will be announced. The society is planning a music festival around the awards event and hopes to have the winners play at venues through- out Whitby. A concert is already planned for the weekend after the awards, featur- ing local bands and winners.

Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m. Gise- la, loving spouse of the late Ken Smith, died Satur- day July 23, 2005 at Rouge Valley Health System in Ajax after a brief struggle with cancer. Born in Ber- lin, Germany to Gerda and Walter Thaens, Gisela lived in Pickering for the past 25 years. The eldest of 7 children, Gisela was a pioneer in her own fami- ly. She came to Canada at the age of 18 and spent the next chapter of her life marrying and raising two daughters. During this time she entered the work- force with a job at Hankscraft where she was em- ployed for over 5 years. Gisela was a hard worker and good at many things. She retired as a manager from Bay Ridges Bakery. Throughout her life, Gisela was happiest when working on a farm. Even after retiring, Gisela spent time with her friends and fami- ly at the Otter's family farm, where she worked sea- sonally. She was always happy to be outside and working with the public. Gisela or Oma, as she was affectionately known by her family, had many hob- bies. She spent much of her retirement time in the Pickering Bingo Hall. When she wasn't at the Bingo Hall or spending time with family, she could be found at the Pickering Senior Citizen Centre, play- ing darts, cards and recently lawn bowling. Survi- vors include her daughters and sons-in-law, Maria and Rod Moses of Suisun City, California; and Syl- via and Dave Emmorey of Whitby, Ontario; sister Ushie and brothers Walter Thaens of Berlin, Germa- ny and Gustav Thaens of Bremen, Germany; Peggy and Paul McKenty of Pickering; 9 grandchildren- Rodney, Lisa and Olivia Moses; Christine and Ste- ven Emmorey; Nicole, Patricia, Sarah, and Meagan McKenty; and 3 great grandchildren (one due in September). Arrangements are under the direction of McEachnie Funeral Home. Donations can be made in Gisela's name to the local Cancer Society.
