Pickering association
has done plenty to
‘make a difference’
By Jason Chamberlain
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — From “nowhere” to
25 years and counting.
The Pickering Carib Canadian Cul-
tural Association is celebrating its sil-
ver anniversary this year, marking 25
years of work to support all members
of the community, and to promote
awareness of community issues within
its membership and the public.
“We’re a group of people, of all
races, colours and creeds, that get to-
gether and try to make a difference for
the community, not just for people of
Caribbean culture, but for everyone
in Ajax and Pickering,” said Willie Wil-
liamson, the non-profit organization’s
public relations director.
“I’m extremely proud of what we’ve
done,” he said. “To keep going for so
long, having come from nowhere. At
the beginning we were meeting in
someone’s basement.”
Mr. Williamson is proud of the orga-
nization’s achievements, including its
role in ushering the Sarah McDonald
Building (1467 Whites Road) into exis-
tence.

Police kept busy on Durham roads
Drunk driving, speeding
among 1,500 charges in
GTA over long weekend
By Jeff Mitchell
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Alleged drunk driv-
ers, lead-footed holiday seekers and
a rickety trailer held together with
bungee cord were among the hazards
encountered by Ontario Provincial
Police on Durham highways during
the Simcoe Day long weekend.
Durham OPP officers arrested three
people for drunk driving during the
busy weekend. Intensive patrols of
area highways also netted people with
open liquor. In all, the OPP investigat-
ed 24 collisions, two of which caused
minor injuries.
A Toronto man was charged fol-
lowing an accident on Hwy. 401 near
Brock street in Whitby at 3:30 on Sat-
urday afternoon. The 29-year-old was
charged with careless driving after
his truck rear-ended a station wagon,
police said; two children, aged 8 and
10, were among the occupants of the
station wagon taken to hospital as a
precaution.
OPP throughout the GTA laid 1,500
Highway Traffic Act charges, half of
them for speeding; Whitby OPP laid
200 of those charges, said Constable
Jeff Edwards.
Police kept up a strong presence
throughout the weekend to combat
aggressive driving, drinking offences,
and motorists travelling without seat-
belts, Const. Edwards said.
“It was a successful cottage patrol,”
he said. “The main issue is safety.”
He pointed to several incidents in-
volving drunk and drinking drivers
that might not have been detected
without the stepped-up effort.
“Those would not have been caught
if we hadn’t had the extra officers out
there,” Const. Edwards said.
Officers had their hands full with
numerous other incidents during the
long weekend:
THREE CHEERS FOR SHAKESPEARE

PICKERING — The Driftwood Theatre Group has been travelling Durham and beyond to perform the Complete Works of
William Shakespeare (Abridged), a comical view of his work. Steven Burley and Chris Darroch do the Shakespeare cheer
after a football montage of his works. They were in Pickering last week.
Province
warns City
it will protect
ag preserve
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — The Province plans to
pass legislation to protect the Duffins
Rouge Agricultural Preserve if Picker-
ing doesn’t reconsider its decision to
remove easements from the area.
“If the City does not reconsider its
actions and live up to its signed agree-
ments with the Ontario Realty Corpo-
ration to keep agricultural easements
on these lands... the provincial govern-
ment will be in the position of having
to take action,” read the letter signed
by Natural Resources Minister David
Ramsay and Public Infrastructure Re-
newal Minister David Caplan.
“(It) is the Government’s intent to
introduce legislation to ensure ease-
ments previously held and released
by the City of Pickering on the Duffins
Rouge Agricultural Preserve are rein-
stated and protected in perpetuity,” it
went on to say.
The letter was sent out late Friday;
Mayor Dave Ryan said he didn’t see it
until noon Tuesday.
“They’re taking such issue with these
lands when there is a minister’s zoning
order in place and greenbelt in place,
one would think they have this locked
up,” he said. “Now they’re thinking of
planning another piece of legislation.”
The preserve is also included in the
area being planned for development
by the Province under the Ontario
Planning and Development Act. The
plan, released in mid-July, calls for the

meets every month, charges rent to
occupants depending on how much
income they make.
“We were one of the clubs in the area
that was instrumental in getting the
Sarah McDonald Building built,” said
Mr. Williamson. “People of all back-
grounds live there.”
The group is also proud of its strong
relationship with the local area, in par-
ticular Pickering council. “We’ve done
a lot of work with Pickering, we’ve got
a great relationship with the council.
We are right front and centre to help
out, and all the members of council
support us.”
The association is also dedicated to
helping students, offering a number
of bursaries to university applicants
every year.
Mr. Williamson, who has been in-
volved with the club almost since the
beginning, describes it as an organiza-
tion dedicated to helping people.
“We were formed when things were
out of shape in the area. There were
problems in schools, problems in the
streets, and a group of people decided
that something had to be done. We
didn’t want to be on the outside look-
ing in. We wanted to get to the council,
to the community, and try to make a
difference, and I think we have over
the years.”
For the anniversary, the club is cel-
ebrating by offering free memberships
to the first 25 applicants it receives.
Celebrations continue at the organi-
zation’s annual dinner and dance, to
be held this year at the Petticoat Creek
Library and Community Centre in
Pickering on Saturday, Oct. 22. Guest
speakers will be present, along with
the bursary winners.
The club is putting emphasis on its
membership drive, as enticing new
members has been a problem in re-
cent years.
“The setback we have is that new
people don’t come as regularly as we
thought they would,” said Mr. William-
son. We’re constantly pushing for new
membership, and there’s turnaround
with young people leaving, going to
university, so it’s a constant revolving
door.”
Fred Gibson, vice-president of the
association, concurs. “That’s been a
stumbling block,” he says. “We want to
get more youth to join, and we want to
put some programs together that kids
will be interested in.”
Mr. Gibson believes there are a lot of
reasons to join.
“If you’re young, there’s always the
opportunity to get a bursary. And if
you’re older, we play dominoes, and we
have game nights and social nights.”
Mr. Williamson also says member-
ship has advantages. “You get to know
all the people, and get involved in the
community.
Also, being aware of what’s taking
place around you and seeing all the
cultures around you. It’s people of dif-
ferent cultures getting together, and
forming a bond.”
The association meets twice every
month at the Sarah McDonald Build-
ing.
For more information, call Mr. Wil-
liamson at 905-428-8244.
• Cops on patrol on Hwy. 115/35
in Clarington noticed the driver of a
car pulling up to a RIDE check Friday
evening was nervous, Const. Edwards
said. If the man’s demeanor wasn’t
enough to raise suspicions, the open
beer beside him was, he said.
The driver registered a warning on a
roadside breath-testing device. Police
seized beer in the car and suspended
the Richmond Hill man from driving
for 12 hours.
• Monday afternoon while on patrol
in the eastbound lanes of Hwy. 401
near Newtonville Road, OPP spotted
a vehicle towing a trailer heaped high
with furniture. Cops stopped the ve-
hicle and examined the trailer, which
turned out to have bad tires, a rear
gate held together with two tire irons,
and a bungee cord barely containing a
load that was twice the recommended
weight.
The motorist was driving while
under suspension; a tow truck carted
the trailer away.

people for drunk driving during the

preserve to remain undeveloped.
In the City’s own development plan
it calls for the southern portion of the
preserve to be developed. In February,
the City converted some easements
to inhibiting orders to settle a lawsuit
filed by landowners to remove ease-
ments. The City received $2.5 million
as part of that settlement and it is to
receive at least an additional $60 mil-
lion if the land is developed.
Ginette Albert, communications ad-
viser to Mr. Ramsay, said the letter was
sent because Pickering isn’t living up
to the easements, which were placed
on some of the land when it was sold
by the ORC (a provincial body) in 1999
at agricultural prices.
“The Province is telling them to stop
or they will take action,” she said.
The City has previously received let-
ters from ORC president Tony Miele
and MPP Gerry Phillips indicating the
Province was disappointed with the
City’s actions. Ms.
Albert said this
letter was sent
since Pickering
hadn’t changed
its position.
Sandy Rider,
president of the
Whitevale and
District Resi-
dents Associa-
tion, is thrilled
with the news.
“I’m encouraged, very encouraged.
It means I don’t have to step in, it saves
me a lot of stress,” she said.
Ms. Rider, as well as the environ-
mental group the Green Door Alliance,
were signatories to the 1999 memoran-
dum of understanding signed by the
City, Province and Region of Durham
that created the easements, which
were held by the City. She and the GDA
asked the Ontario Municipal Board in
June to enforce the 1999 order that cre-
ated the easements; the OMB decided
it wouldn’t get involved.
She wanted the Province to take ac-
tion on this matter and is hopeful it
will follow through on the letter.
Ms. Albert said there is no time
frame on when the legislation would
be passed.
“It would be sooner rather than
later,” she said.
Mayor Ryan said council hadn’t dis-
cussed the letter yet.
“My personal position and the one
I will be putting forward, in front of
council, is we stay the course,” he said.

Ajax woman establishing fund
to help injured animals
By Keith Gilligan
Staff Writer
AJAX — The horror of seeing a cat run over
and then the frustration of trying to find care for
the injured animal has spurred an Ajax woman
to take action.
Te rri McKibbon says an adult male cat was
hit by a woman driving a van on Sunday around
noon.
The woman, Ms. McKibbon adds, stopped
and moved the cat to the sidewalk and then
drove off, leaving the animal in pain.
“The cat was trying to get up. He was trying
to move around,” she says, noting people there
tried to stop it from moving about.
It took about 90 minutes to find care for the
animal, she notes.
“I wasn’t the only one concerned. Several
people were trying to help.”
When someone arrived from the animal clin-
ic, he told those who were helping that a steroid
shot would be administered, but the owner
would have to be found and pay for any medical
treatment.
Otherwise, the cat would have to be put
down, which is what eventually happened.
“It would have been nice if the owner had put
tags on the animal,” said Ms. McKibbon.
The issue for her was the “lack of resources.”
To ensure money is available to help wounded
animals, she’s starting a fundraising campaign
and establishing a foundation so the same fate
doesn’t fall to another animal. She plans to call
it The Team Paws Foundation.
“The goal is to get resources available. If it
happens, the funds will be available,” Ms. McK-
ibbon states, adding the cat could have been
saved if it had received prompt medical atten-
tion.
“More resources” are needed, she adds. “To
see how the system was working, it was rather
disheartening.
“I’ll be working in conjunction with local
businesses and expand it from that,” she states.
She’s hoping to set up a fund so that animals
could be taken to the Ajax Animal Hospital or to
the emergency clinic after hours. “There would
be two centralized areas the funds would be
filtered through,” she says.
In an e-mail, Ms. McKibbon states, “To stand
back and do nothing after what I witnessed
would be immoral, in my opinion.”
Anyone wanting more information can call
Ms. McKibbon at 416-559-7180.

Rouge Valley offers
real-life experience
to teens considering
health-related profession
By Derek Giberson
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — A program piloted
at an Oshawa high school and run
through Rouge Valley Health System is
offering a sort of pre-training for train-
ing in the medical field.
A small group of Donevan Collegiate
students experienced some hands-on
education during the last school year,
working and learning in the emer-
gency department at Rouge Valley’s
Centenary site in Scarborough.
The program was part of the Health
Education Alternative Learning pro-
gram for Grade 11 and 12 students
that began in September 2004, taking
up a full semester and preparing them
for further education in the medical
fields.
Students learned to operate instru-
ments under supervision to check vital
signs, oxygen saturation and blood
pressure, and gained real-life expo-
sure to injury, cardiac arrest, fracture,
labour and delivery, and the many
other medical emergencies that arrive
at the hospital every day.
Usually students going into the
medical field would gain this sort of
training and experience in the first
year of post-secondary studies. For
a student like Shannon McLeod, 16,
who is interested in pediatrics, work-
ing with injured and sick children of-
fered a window looking into her field
of interest.
“A t first it was a turnoff because
they don’t like what you’re doing,” said
Shannon, “but it was rewarding when
you know you are helping.”
Sandra Burnside, manager of emer-
gency services at the hospital, which
has another site in Ajax, said the pro-
gram is an investment in the future
generation of medical professionals.
“I think we have to be innovative
and think beyond the box,” she said,
noting that a critical shortage of nurs-
es is creeping up on the health system
in Ontario.
The program also helps students
probe into their future.
“It gives you an idea of whether (the
medical field) is for you before you
spend all that money on university or
college,” said Shannon, who felt the
experience confirmed her ambition to
work in pediatrics.
This isn’t always the case, notes
program creator, co-ordinator and
teacher Marie Rayner, as one student
completed the course and concluded
that she wasn’t interested in health
care.
“Parents have said they would rath-
er know now than spend the money,”
she said.
For students who do decide to go
on to post-secondary studies in health
care, Durham College and the Univer-
sity of Ontario Institute of Technology
both recognize the program and offer
advanced standing to students who
have taken it.
Ms. Rayner said that this year’s suc-
cess should lead to expansion of the
program.
“When we look at the growth over
the year, we’re really pleased with it,”
she said, adding that the Durham Dis-
trict School Board has doubled fund-
ing for next year’s program.
“We really would like to stream-
line it,” said Ms. Rayner, “getting more
partners throughout other hospital
departments.”

EDITORIAL
Airport would be
another white elephant
To the editor:
Re: The destruction of
Brougham and area.
Our federal MP, Mark Hol-
land, recently toured the ill-
fated Pickering airport site to
see for himself the situation
that the federal government
is causing, regarding the de-
liberate and systematic de-
struction of homes and evic-
tion of tenants in Brougham
and area. This, despite the
fact that, to quote Mr. Hol-
land, “there is not yet a
transparent and fair policy
in place.”
The federal government
made a huge mistake with
Mirabel airport in Montreal.
Its first attempt at a Pickering
airport failed miserably and
those two projects continue
to cost the Canadian public
a huge amount of money.
Pearson airport is built to
handle an extensive growth
in the future (if needed).
Some of us remember full
well that in the 1970s the
minister of transport told us
that by 2000 there would be
60 million passengers flying
out of Pearson annually. In
actual fact, today only about
half of that number is nearer
to the mark.
Noticeably absent from
going to bat for its people in
Brougham and area, are the
mayor and council of Picker-
ing. They seem to be quite
prepared to accept the chaos
and heartbreak going on in
north Pickering and are not
concerned that a historic
part of our town will disap-
pear in the false name of
progress.
Council certainly shows a
lack of compassion or un-
derstanding and a total ac-
ceptance of the possibility
of another white elephant
being dumped here.

Destruction of unborn
child the real issue
To the editor:
Re: ‘Pro-life group hurts its
own cause with ‘horrible’ im-
ages,’ letter to the editor, July
20, and ‘Graphic images not
making their point,’ editorial,
July 22.
I find it truly amazing in a
nation that worships choice,
that Anne Kipp and the News
Advertiser could be so in-
censed at the so-called ‘hor-
rible’ images they witnessed
as part of the Show the Truth
campaign.
The members of this cam-
paign are simply choosing to
show publicly what happens
more than 100,000 times each
year at hospitals and clinics
across Canada. Had Ms. Kipp
and the News Advertiser taken
a moment to reflect upon the
reality of these images, they
might have been furious that
the practise they depict, name-
ly, the intentional destruction
of a growing, developing, un-
born child in the womb, is al-
lowed in a country that claims
such a high moral standing.

New Homolka film
deserves protest
To the editor:
Re: ‘New Homolka film.’
While the producer, Michael
Sellers, of ‘Karla’ or ‘Deadly’
feels it is within his rights to
make the film, it is also within
my rights not to see it. I also
will not patronize, while it is

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
W hen I was in Grade
7, my social stud-
ies class was en-
gaged in a discussion about
urban sprawl. It was a warm
spring day and the room was
crammed with bored, fidg-
ety adolescents who, frankly,
could’ve cared less about the
topic at hand. I, personally,
was pre-occupied with how
Susie Haggerty was suddenly
filling out her sweater pretty
nicely. There was one memo-
rable moment however, when,
filled with some kind of pas-
sion the rest of couldn’t have
understood, Norma Horton
stood up from her chair and,
voice croaking with emotion
proclaimed, “They’re wreck-
in’ the land!”
We laughed at her. We
laughed her and her ugly
duckling manner and her
weirdness back down into her
chair where she quietly re-
sumed her usual, head down,
please-don’t-look-at-me pos-
ture.
I’m sorry Norma. Those of
us who laughed at you that
day were jerks. It’s taken me
33 years, but I finally under-
stand what you expressed so
simply and beautifully. In so
many cases, they are, in fact,
“wreckin” the land.
I attended a council meet-
ing recently where the plan
for a new subdivision to the
west of town was under dis-
cussion. This plan, calling for
the construction of some 345
new homes will effectively
double the size of my little
community. I find that a little
terrifying.
So, apparently, do many of
my neighbours. I sat and lis-
tened as, one by one, farmers
and townies alike sat down in
front of the microphone and,
sometimes very emotionally,
tried to convince our council
members that this was a poor
plan. I, myself, did not speak.
I wanted to, very much. But in
the midst of so many cogent
and intelligent arguments
involving water availability,
sewage, overcrowded schools,
population density, etc., all I
could think of doing was to
stand up, heart in my mouth,
and croak, “They’re wreckin’
the land!” It was probably best
for everybody that I stayed in
my seat.
Besides, there were oth-
ers who spoke beautifully for
me. One such speaker talked
eloquently about how it has
taken over 200 years to cre-
ate the charming village that I
and my family call home.
With those 200 years comes
a wealth of culture and heri-
tage that any future develop-
ment must embrace if we are
to embrace it. You cannot sim-
ply dump a community of 345
homes at the side of a quaint
little hamlet, walk away and
expect that everything will be
hunky-dory. It will most cer-
tainly not be hunky and I ex-
pect never even close to dory.
None of us who attended
that meeting are opposed to
growth. Growth is natural and
necessary. People need to live
somewhere.
What is at the heart of this
issue however, is how they
will live. Sustainably and in
harmony with the land and
people around us, or sprawl-
ing thoughtlessly wherever
there is space. I think, most
people, in their hearts want
to live in a place of beauty, a
place that is much more than
a garage and a TV set in a sea
of garages and TV sets. We
have that place here.
But like a rare alpine flower
it has taken a long time to
achieve and its existence is a
fragile one. Any change to the
environment needs to be care-
fully and diligently planned.
Otherwise, as my friend
Norma so succinctly said, it’s
just “wreckin the land.”
Durham resident Neil Crone,
actor-comic-writer, saves some
of his best lines for his col-
umn.
We have to stop wreckin’ the land

There’s no getting
around it, water
work requires our
f inancial support
I n this summer of intense heat and desert-like conditions, it
shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Province has water on
the brain.
Concerns over the supply of fresh water, how it gets used and
when, and who is charged with paying for it, rank right up there
with worries about our over-strained hydro electricity system
and the impact of smog.
Yo u can’t do much without air, water and power and we’re
getting that message loud and clear.
While global warming and issues like the Kyoto Accord are
part of the long-term picture with respect to our air and water,
the need is to investigate practical solutions which will have an
impact over the next decade or so.
The latest bombshell concerning water came recently after an
expert panel said Ontario would need $34 billion in investment
in water and sewage systems over the next 15 years. Combined
with the inevitable need for more energy supply as the Province
grows -- that means very expensive new nuclear reactors in the
absence of any better ideas -- and it means we’re in for some
very expensive times in the years ahead.
Durham, fortunately, is ahead of the curve on much of the
water/sewer/energy front. We boast the Pickering and Darling-
ton nuclear reactors and have the possibility of future nuclear
development here.
The Region has invested heavily in a new water plant which
should meet the needs of Durham residents and businesses for
a long time to come.
There are a few chinks in the armour however as regards
to aging sewage systems. In Whitby, for example, some of the
sewer pipes, are incredibly enough, close to 100 years old. Much
of the work around the region was done back in the 1920s and
1930s and will obviously require replacement and repair. As Cliff
Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of works says, “We’re trying
to baby the system as long as we can.”
Water and sewer systems are paid for by user fees so it would
seem that any necessary improvements will be borne on the
backs of taxpayers.
The Region has assured that any major work that needs doing
will be spread out over time to avoid a major hit in a single year
or two, but make no mistake, costly repairs will be required, and
soon.
After all, we can’t do anything without a proper water supply.
There’s just no getting around it.

Ajax’s Anderson,
Eldridge pass along
knowledge from worlds
DURHAM — A pair of worldly Dur-
ham Dragons were back in the track
and field club’s fold Thursday, passing
along their knowledge.
The two athletes took some time
out from training to inspire about
80 of the young, local, aspiring track
athletes and their parents at Beverley
Morgan Park in Pickering. Fresh from
their experiences at the World Youth
Track and Field Championships in
Marrakesh, Morocco earlier this
month, Michael Anderson, 17, of Ajax,
and Dustin Eldridge, 17, of Whitby,
stayed after practice to answer ques-
tions about what it was like to make a
national team and travel to Morocco
to compete.
Anderson, a Notre Dame Catholic
Secondary School student, partici-
pated in his first world youth cham-
pionships where he was eliminated in
the opening round of the men’s 3,000
metres. Anderson finished ninth in his
heat in 8:46.61, well off his personal
best of 8:22.90 set in Toronto in June.
Meanwhile, Eldridge placed seventh
in his heat in the men’s 800 metres
in a time of 2:03.12, which was also
much slower than his personal best of
1:54.18.
Anderson and Eldridge showed
some of their national team apparel
and fielded questions about how hard
they worked and how many hours per
day they train and shared how great
the experience was. The two Durham
Dragons Athletics Club athletes were
accompanied by club alumnus Ian
Mayne, 22, of Pickering, who attended
the University of Tennessee at Chat-
tanooga on an athletic scholarship.
Mayne shared some of the wisdom
acquired in his four years of training
and competing for the southern U.S.
school.
Also on hand, but as a spectator,
was Dragons sprinter Kailey Jasper,
17, of Whitby, who is the lone Durham
Region qualifier for the U18 National
Legion Track and Field Champion-
ships in Edmonton next month. Jasper
runs the 400 metres (57.29) and the
400m hurdles (1:04.31) and was the
Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath-
letics (LOSSA) champion in the events
this year, competing for Whitby’s An-
derson CVI.
Anderson, the LOSSA 1,500m and
3,000m champion, has the number-
one time in the 3,000m for his age
in Canada (8:22.90) and Eldridge, a
Henry Street High School student,
qualified with the number-one time
for his age (1:54.18) in the 800m.
Mayne is conference champion in the
3,000m steeplechase event for which
he holds a school record of 9:04.20.
Durham duo wins gold
with Team Ontario
By Shawn Cayley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Ontario players proved
to the rest of the country just how tal-
ented they are on the soccer field. And
for two local girls, it meant returning
home from the National U15 tourna-
ment in Edmonton with shiny gold
medals around their necks.
Jessica Scheffee and Darija Davidson
are those two golden girls.
Scheffee, an Oshawa resident, who
plays youth soccer with the Oshawa
Kicks, was ecstatic when describing the
U15 team’s accomplishment at Nation-
als.
“It was so amazing,” she said. “The
feeling of winning a gold medal is like
nothing I have ever experienced. The
atmosphere out there was incredible.”
Davidson, a Courtice resident who
plays in Ajax, echoed similar senti-
ments.
“I was so excited,” she said of her
feeling when the time was winding
down in the final game, a 5-1 win over
British Columbia. “The last few min-
utes seemed to take a long time. We
just couldn’t wait until the time was
up.
“I can’t even explain the feeling that
was going through me,” she added of
how she felt knowing the team was
only minutes away from a National
championship. “It was such a feeling of
relief and excitement when we heard
that final whistle sound.”
The team came through with a
dominating performance throughout
the entire tournament. The goal B.C.
scored in the final was the only glitch
on an otherwise perfect defensive per-
formance by the Ontario girls. Lead-
ing up to their whitewash in the gold
medal contest, they defeated Manitoba
in the semifinals by a score of 2-0. In
their first game they handled the host
province of Alberta rather easily, 3-0.
All three outcomes made the girls
extremely proud.
“We played some great soccer in
those games against some very good
teams, so it makes winning the gold
feel that much better,” said Davidson.
Scheffee added: “Looking back on
the tournament, I think we realize how
good of a team we really were.”
Individually, both girls came up with
solid performances over the course of
the tournament. Scheffee, in particular,
was quite satisfied with her showing.
“I was really happy with my perfor-
mance,” she said. “My coach gave me
a specific job to do in the final and that
was to shadow the B.C. captain the en-
tire game and shut her down. So when
I was able to do that, it felt really good
to have contributed in such a way.”
While both girls will be unable to
defend their title next year with the
squad, as they will both be 16 by the
time the tournament rolls around, they
say this experience is one that will last
with them for a lifetime.
“We had such a great time out there,”
said Scheffee. “Not everyone gets a
chance to win something like this so it
is something I will always remember.”
Davidson feels the same way.
“The feeling of winning a gold medal
is something I won’t soon forget.”

and in the 200 metres it’s 27.79.
In addition to track and field,
Christine also plays rep soccer with
the Ajax East Side Warriors that re-
cently completed a trip to the USA

Meanwhile, Nichelle will run the
100 metres. She’s just recently come
off a win in the 200m at the Ontario

iel also plays hockey for the Ajax
Knights peewee ‘AA’ squad.
[ Soccer ]]
Ajax Thunder rolls
to tournament title
AJAX — The Ajax Thunder girls’
under-eight soccer team stung the
Ajax Hornets in the final of the recent
Ajax Soccer Club Tournament.
The Thunder capped an unde-
feated run through the nine-team
under-eight division with an exciting 2-1
victory over the Hornets.
In preliminary-round action, the
Thunder posted a scoreless draw with
the Hornets, defeated Pickering and
Whitby each by 1-0 scores, and Wex-
ford 3-0 to earn a spot into the final.
Lisa Bruno led the Thunder with
five goals, followed by Briana Colan-
gelo with two. Emily Carter was out-
standing in goal, allowing one goal in
five games. Taylor Babcock and Aliyah
Shaw supplied solid defensive efforts,
while Gabi Lamanna and Alyssa Gee
played superbly at their midfield posi-
tions, keeping opposing players at bay.
Other team members are Anna
Sims, Jaime Azzolin, Amanda Kafolas,
Lindsey Munro, Jordan Steenson, May-
son Mahoraj and Alex Warner.
Mario Bruno coaches the team,
assisted by Angelo Lamanna and Al-

Admirals sink
under-14 foes to
claim soccer crown
AJAX — The Ajax CIBC Admirals
boys’ under-14 rep soccer team ex-
perienced smooth sailing recently, en
route to the title at its own Ajax Soc-
cer Club Canadian Cup tournament.
The Admirals, playing in the higher
under-15 age group, capped unbeaten
play (4-0-1 record) by defeating anoth-
er Ajax squad, the Strikers, 4-0 in the
final. Emmett O’Connor led the way
with two goals, while Nicholas Orton
and Callum Lynch added one apiece.
Ajax started the tournament with
a 3-0 win over Toronto Supra. Beau
Johnson, Orton and Dominic Roberts
each tallied once. In Game 2, the
Admirals defeated the Ajax Strikers
1-0 on a late marker from Irijah Bar-
tholomew.
The Ajax boys played to a score-
less draw with Saltfleet in a tough,
physical match. The Admirals finished
preliminary play with a 4-0 victory
over East York. The Ajacians domi-
nated play from the opening whistle.
O’Connor, Ahjton Roberts, Orton and
Luke Todd each scored once.
The Admirals received outstanding
defensive play by Granville Chambers,
Michael Evans, Luke Morrison, Daniel
O’Connor and Roberts. Their play was
instrumental in helping goalkeeper
James Shields record five consecutive
shutouts.
The creative play of midfield-
ers Liam Connon, Johnson, Emmett
O’Connor, Dominic Roberts and Todd
combined with the speed of forwards
Bartholomew, Lynch, Tristan Oldham
and Orton resulted in the 12 goals.
Players Sean Hart and Andrew

DURHAM — Three couples, two
homes, one stage make for great com-
edy at Class Act Dinner Theatre this
summer.
How The Other Half Loves, by British
playwright Alan Ayckbourn, opened
recently at the Whitby theatre, bring-
ing with it a tale of infidelity and lies.
Director Jim Renshaw said the play
centres on Frank and Fiona Foster, Bob
and Teresa Phillips and William and
Mary Detweiler. Bob works for Frank
and William is just transferring in to
work with Frank. It turns out Bob and
Fiona are having an affair.
In order to keep this secret, the
“g uilty parties” use the Detweilers as
their alibis to their spouses, Renshaw
said.
Fiona tells Frank she was out with
Mar y, whom she thinks is having an
affair. Bob tells Teresa he was with
William and then goes on to lie even
further, telling her William suspects his
wife is cheating on him.
Frank, a “very nice man,” decides
to do something to help the Detwei-
lers and invites them for dinner. Te-
resa does the same, the very next night.
Meanwhile, the Detweilers have no
idea of what is going on or why.
And here’s where there’s a bit of a
challenge for the audience and the ac-
tors.
“The set depicts two houses,” Ren-
shaw said.
But the set is a common one. In
other words, both houses appear in the
one set. There are some props com-
mon to both but others are unique to
each couple.
“You’ll never see the Foster family
sitting in a Phillips chair or the Phil-
lips sitting in a Foster chair,” Renshaw
said.
When it comes to the dinner parties,
“you’ll see both parties simultaneous-
ly,” he said. The Detweilers are seated
on swivel chairs, which allow them to
turn to the Phillips or the Fosters. If it’s
a Foster scene, the Phillips’ actors have
to freeze and vice versa.
It all requires precise timing, which
has taken up much of the rehearsal
time, Renshaw said.
The cast has proved up to the task,
he added.
Daryl Marks, who played in The
Sunshine Boys and Love, Sex and the
IRS for Class Act, and with Whitby
Courthouse Theatre, is Frank. Fiona is
played by Carol Laing, who’s worked
with Oshawa Little Theatre, other
community theatre groups and Class
Act, including Love, Sex and the IRS
and It Runs in the Family.
Bob Phillips is played by Glenn Rab-
john, of Whitby, who has appeared
with Whitby Courthouse Theatre and
Class Act in The Lone Star Love Potion.
Te resa is Marissa King, new to Class
Act, although she’s acted in Toronto.
Mary is Colleen Janik, who was last
seen at Class Act in Maggie’s Getting
Married. William is played by Whitby’s
Daniel Wyse, who appeared in Cheat-
ers and The Sunshine Boys.
The cast was added another wrinkle
in the fact they rehearsed while exten-
sive renovations were going on around
them, Renshaw said. Audiences will
get to see the results.
How the Other Half Loves runs
through to Aug. 27 at the theatre, 104
Consumers Dr., Whitby. For ticket in-
formation, call 905-668-2229 or go to

The Durham Region Music Society

to showcase some of the local bands.”
Between 1 and 6 p.m., you can see
and hear Terry “Bluesdaddy” Blankley,
of Oshawa, and an all-star band. Spe-
cial guests include fiddler June Ekhard
and Port Perry’s Frank Zochodne. An
extra special guest will be Pat Carey,

Staff Writer
DURHAM — They might consider
themselves underdogs, but it seems
Durham outfit Blues Underdog have
been rolling sevens this year. It’s also
the same number within the hip-hop-
meets-rock band.
“It can definitely be difficult but
there are lots of benefits too,” singer
and bassist Jeff Ledger, aka Ledge, says
during a late-night rehearsal. “When
you have to get a CD made or go on
tour, you’ve got seven people splitting
the cost versus a regular band that
has three or four people. Musically
it’s an absolute dream. We have so
much music that we don’t nearly have
enough time to work on it all.”
Blues Underdog, featuring mem-
bers from Ajax and Pickering and even
one member from Port Hope, played
recently in Toronto and at the Vans
Warped Tour in Barrie, formed four
years ago after Ledge, DJ Deez and
drummer Jeff Roberts left punk band
Good Time Charlie. The trio then visit-
ed a nearby rehearsal space, met sing-
ers Najja Calibur, Candi Lee and Viste
Patricio and started jamming together.
Bracken, another guitarist, joined the
group shortly thereafter.
In 2003, the band won the annual
Bandwarz, produced by Eclipse Con-
certs and based in Oshawa, featuring
the best of Durham bands. Since last
year, the group’s stature has grown
greatly. Supporting slots for Black Eyed
Peas and being the backing band for
rapper Maestro Fresh Wes has opened
several doors.
“What we did in four of five years
with the other groups, we did in one
with Blues Underdog,” Ledger says.
“Things were picking up a lot quick-
er and people seem to be really im-
pressed by the styles of music that we
mix together. It becomes one big col-
lage of music.”
Choclair, an old school friend of
Calibur’s, was so impressed with the
group that he offered Blues Under-
dog his recording studio to make their
debut album. He also wants them to be
his backing band and supporting act
on his Canadian tour this fall.
The band, currently working on the
album, says they get as much pleasure
backing other musicians as they do
performing their own material.
“We love playing other people’s
music because it’s stuff that we nor-
mally wouldn’t write,” Ledger says. “It’s
a definite change and broadens our
minds with different styles of music
that are different than what we do.”
Ledger expects the album, already
earning label interest, to feature rough-
ly 12 songs and be out in late August or
early September. He also says they’ve
come a long way in a short time.
“It’s pretty impressive being able to
operate for four years and not having
a label,” he says. “Every time we play a
show we blow people away.”

Summer theatre spawned
‘homeless’ sightings
By Christy Chase
Staff Editor
DURHAM — When Mary Delaney
gets in character, she’s very convinc-
ing.
The Pickering resident and one of
the founders of the Backwoods Players
of Pickering Museum Village played
the homeless bag lady in the recent
Little Shop of Horrors production in
Port Perry. To get into character and
to help publicize the show by Cadenza
Productions, Delaney got into her cos-
tume and wandered around town.
She was so much into her character
that many people thought she was re-
ally homeless. Local residents offered
her help to find shelter and food and
even offered her money as she played
out her act during Canada Day, Street
Fest and before shows on the steps of
To wn Hall 1873.
“It was incredible,” Delaney said
of her experiences, adding she was
touched by the kind and generous re-
actions of local residents to her char-
acter.
Through her involvement with Back-
woods Players’ historical dramas and
re-enactments, she’s become adept at
adopting characters.
“It’s like improv except it’s chiefly
done with an historical character. I’ve
got quite a few characters living inside
me.”
She just added another for this play,
a part which had no lines.
“The rest of the cast just rehearsed
and rehearsed and rehearsed and
went over their lines. I had none,” she
said.
Director Peter Bocking decided the
homeless woman would be on stage
the whole play, going through the gar-
bage and the like. When it came time
for the cast to appear and sing a few
songs at Canada Day and Street Fest,
he came up with the idea to have
Delaney take her character out on the
streets.
On Canada Day, she wandered in
costume and character around Palmer
Park and could be seen on the steps
of the gazebo, where other members
of the cast were to perform. A secu-
rity guard, first name of Fred, came up
and tried to move her so she wouldn’t
disturb the cast, she said. He had to be
filled in by Bocking, she said.
At Street Fest, she spent most of her
time doing her “schtick” under the
stage. Before shows, she would wan-
der outside or sit on the steps with the
cart filled with treasures such as old
Coke bottles. She never broke charac-
ter, never looked anyone in the eye and
was occupied with her belongings.
Some people tried to help her. While
others tried to pretend they didn’t see
her, no one was mean. In fact, when
her children attended the play and
laughed at her on first seeing her out-
side the hall, other people were upset
with them, she said.
“People who know me really well
didn’t recognize me,” she said.
Those who saw the show realized
she was acting but she thought Port
Perry residents who didn’t go might
have wondered who the homeless
woman was and where she’s gone to
now, she said. So she wanted to let ev-
eryone know and that she appreciates
the kindness offered to her.
And for those who wondered about
her eating from the garbage cans dur-
ing the show, well, she was the one
who “dressed” the garbage. Those were
her pizza crusts and the sandwich dis-
carded by another actor, played by
Delaney’s husband, Joe Bezubiak, was
made by her, she said.
This isn’t the last Port Perry will see
of Delaney. She’ll be back in the fall in
the Borelians’s production of Dracula.
That was no bag lady,
that was a Pickering actor
E xhibit is face-to-face with artists
DURHAM — While the work of visu-
al artists can be readily seen, the artists
themselves are often less visible.
In order to remedy that, the Rob-
ert McLaughlin Gallery is presenting
‘A bout Face’ through to Sept. 11. The
exhibit confronts the lack of public
images by artists by pairing portraits
of artists alongside examples of their
works.
The exhibit features works from the
gallery’s permanent collection and of-
fers fine examples of Canadian pic-
tures and portraiture.
The gallery is located at 72 Queen
St., in downtown Oshawa.

Lady’ with other members of the cast of

Broadway
musical to
wrap up
jazz festival
‘Guys and Dolls’
is premier performance
of this year’s event
DURHAM — A touch of Broadway is
coming to this year’s Oshawa Jazz and
Blues Festival.
The musical comedy ‘Guys and Dolls’
will be presented on Aug. 14, the last
day of the jazz festival, which starts Aug.
8. The production by high school stu-
dents throughout Durham is a project
of Summerstock in conjunction with
Durham Continuing Education and the
Durham District School Board.
The play features 65 students on
stage, in the orchestra and behind the
scenes and is produced by Joan Man-
sfield, directed by Jim Senft and under
the musical direction of James Klod-
nicki. Choreography is done by Zade
O’Blenes.
After two performances at the jazz
festival, the students will take the show
on the road, playing at the Yonge and
Dundas Square in Toronto from Aug. 18
to 21.
Guys and Dolls tells the story of an
unlikely romance between an urban
missionary and a slick Broadway gam-
bler. It features music by Frank Loesser.
The musical will be performed at
Parkwood Estate in Oshawa with per-
formances at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets
cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
