Lawyer Sarah Loosemore ap- peared on behalf of Mr. Jacobson Wednesday morning in provincial court in Oshawa. The former Picker- ing man, also known as Avi Mundy, faces two charges relating to an es- cape from the Whitby courthouse in September of 2002. Durham Regional Police homi- cide Detective Dave Henderson said the escape-related charges will be dealt with next month, when Mr. Ja- cobson is sentenced for the murder of Ajax resident Roy Jones. “He is going to plead guilty and it will all fold in together Sept. 6,” Det. Henderson said. Mr. Jacobson was found guilty June 30 of Mr. Jones’s murder on Feb. 4, 2001. The automatic sen- tence for first-degree murder is life in prison with no parole for 25 years. But Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson will also sentence Mr. Ja- cobson for the escape and charges relating to a Pickering home inva- sion robbery in June of 2000 that set in motion events leading to Mr. Jones’s death. Any sentence on the additional charges will be served concurrently with the murder sen- tence. By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The progress on the plan for a proposed Pickering airport is moving slower than first thought. When the Greater Toronto Air- ports Authority first released its Pickering airport draft plan in No- vember, officials estimated the envi- ronmental assessment would begin in the spring. Now that plan has changed and the EA is nowhere in sight. “The EA won’t start for some time,” said Steve Shaw, the GTAA’s vice-president of corporate affairs. He added it would take less time than first anticipated, which was to be two to three years. Mr. Shaw couldn’t give a time frame on when the EA would begin but said he doesn’t think it would be before the end of the year. Before an EA can begin, which is to be done by the Canadian Environmental Assess- ment Agency, Transport Canada is to do a review of the GTAA’s work. Transport Canada owns the land in north Pickering. “Transport Canada has to under- take due diligence with the work we’ve done so far,” Mr. Shaw said. Paula Fairfax, Transport Canada spokeswoman, said that work be- gins with the Pickering airport draft plan report. “It will be reviewed by Transport Canada as part of its due diligence process prior to a decision being made on whether or not to proceed with an airport at Picker- ing,” she said. The GTAA’s draft plan proposes that a two-runway general aviation airport be built no sooner than 2012. A third runway would be added by 2032 to handle spillover from Pear- son; it projects by 2032 the facility could be handling as many as 11.9 million passengers a year. The total cost of the project is expected to be more than $2 billion. Transport Canada has not begun its due diligence yet. “The process will include a re- view of all supporting studies and Sundays in August Free Concerts in the Park @ 2 pm Pickering City Hall cityofpickering.com/greatevents ® • S A L E S • S E R V I C E • L E A S I N G • R E N T A L S • B O D Y S H O P 5 0 3 K in g s to n R d ., P ic k e rin g w w w .p v w .c o m (9 0 5 ) 4 2 0 -9 7 0 0 P I C K E R I N G V O L K S W A G E N I N C .

Last week, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion gave Ontario Power Generation permission to start the process of bring- ing the reactor online. Unit 1 has been in a guaranteed shutdown state (GSS) since Decem- ber 1997. Removal of the GSS is the first step in powering up the reactor. OPG staff will bring the unit to low power op- eration over the next two weeks. This means that Ontario Power Generation has suc- cessfully completed 115 regulatory prerequisites related to the upgrading and refurbishment of just about every system in the unit. “Despite the number of technical challenges and the discovery work en- countered on this project, we have safely completed major construction and are ready to begin bringing the unit back into service,” said Bill Robinson, the se- nior vice-president of the Pickering ‘A’ return to ser- vice and project manager, in a press release. At full power, the unit will produce 515 mega- watts of power, which is enough to supply electric- ity to about 500,000 peo- ple. The cost to refurbish the unit is about $1 billion, and the work includes more than 23,000 tasks performed by about 2,900 people. It took approximately 1.9 million hours of work, with almost 2.9 million parts in- stalled. Over the next three months, the unit under- goes commissioning work to ensure the equipment and systems are operating correctly. During the commission- ing, the reactor will pro- vide power to the electric- ity system. The unit is slated to go back in full service by the fall.

Orientation planned for first-time users DURHAM — Instead of climb- ing school bus steps for the first time this September, kindergarten kids can do so during an upcom- ing orientation day. On Aug. 20, Durham public and Durham Catholic district school boards are holding a joint school bus orientation day to introduce kindergarten kids and their par- ents to the bus. The one-hour pro- gram starts at 9 a.m. and includes bus rides and a Winnie-the-Pooh safety video. Parents can also bring their elementary-aged children and cameras. Participants can confirm their attendance by calling the bus company in their area. The young rider program is pro- vided in co-operation with area school bus companies: Durham- way Bus Lines, Laidlaw Education Services, Northstar Passenger Ser- vices, Scugog Transit and Stock Transportation Companies.

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 5, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Speak up now on Pickering’s future Residents can have a say on growth Pickering residents have been handed a real opportu- nity. They have a chance to have a say on a significant part of the city’s future makeup. The Province recently unveiled its plan for the develop- ment of the long discussed and debated Seaton lands. The City responded in kind last week, offering its own plan for how the lands will grow. The community, more or less, is being touted as a model by which many others will follow in the years to come. And when you’re talking about adding anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 people to the area (depending on whether you ask provincial or city officials) it is an opportunity to build a lasting legacy that truly serves not only the residents settling there, but also existing Pickering residents as well. When all is said and done, Seaton should be a commu- nity of people who work, live and play within its boundaries. Commercial properties and opportunities will be just as im- portant as the residential aspect. After years of speculations and discussion, the community is closer than ever to having a shovel in the ground. This despite the last two years being spent with much arguing between the Province and City over which of the two would dictate how the community grows. The key difference between the two now, ultimately, is that Pickering wants less people in Seaton, suggesting the lands have sensitive qualities that cannot be overlooked. However, in exchange, it wants to develop (despite much public and provincial opposition) a portion of the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve, which in 1999 it had promised would be farmland in perpetuity. That aside, what the plans have shown is that ultimately the two sides are not too far apart on how they want Seaton to develop. A difference here and there, but certainly nothing that cannot be overcome through negotiations and consul- tation with the public. So this is where Pickering residents come in. The Province’s recent open house touched off a 60- day input period where residents can comment on the plan. Big or small, now is the time to raise concerns, rather than down the road when there’s no turning back. A community of 40,000 or 60,000 people is significant, bigger than any of Durham’s three northern municipalities. It won’t appear overnight, but in the end, it will impact ev- eryone in Pickering. Use the opportunity and have your say in Pickering’s future. Drummer a truly positive role model To the editor: Re: ‘Matt Brann’s banging the drum for autism’, July 22, and ‘Real stars keep making their mark, even after the music dies’, July 31. In an industry that so readily rewards vanity and ego, Mr. Brann is a refreshingly positive role model for young people who look up to musicians and other celebrities. It was most heartening to read about him and the special relationship that has been forged between him and our chapter. Media coverage of autism and the plight of the families who live with it is welcome to us parents in the autism com- munity, who are constantly looking to raise public aware- ness. Specific mention of Autism Society Ontario is the icing on the cake.

In today’s day and age, how can this still be happening? I f you’re after some interesting on- line reading, you might want to try the words ‘harry potter’ and ‘book burning’ in a search engine. Wow. I mean, wow. I did it on a whim, after seeing a news report on an American nation- al news network recently covering the much-anticipated release of J. K. Rowlings’s sixth novel in the series. The story showed the legions of fans camped out waiting to purchase the book. That piece was followed by an- other depicting individuals who were equally enthusiastic about Harry Potter because they were feeding the books into the flames of a bonfire. Slow, heavy groan. Slow, rueful shake of one’s head. Where does one begin with this? Book burnings? Can we please jump a few centuries, into the -- you know -- present? And yet here people are, consigning works of fiction, with fictional charac- ters and fictional situations, to the fire. While this particular Harry Potter in- cendiary silliness occurred south of the border, here in Durham Region, the Potter books have their own proud mo- ment of controversy, having survived censure with a disconcertingly close 7- 4 vote at the hands of the Durham Dis- trict School Board in the fall of 2000. Ye s, the series is popular all right. In the American Library Association’s 100 Most Frequently Challenged books for the period of 1990-2000, the Potter books are in the top 10. Challenges can be based on complaints ranging from sexually explicit content to offen- sive language to possessing an occult theme. A general overview reveals it’s typi- cally parents who make the challenges, and schools, school libraries and pub- lic libraries which bear the brunt of them. Ta ke note, people: Where’s Waldo? is on the list. As for the online search, one hit in particular praised the glories of book burning. Said site also had ads that said “Jesus says, ‘Burn it! NOW!’” (a sort of Burn a Book of the Month club). It was on top of the “Accept Christ and we’ll throw in a free phone!” link. In some quarters, at least, it looks like torching books is still alive. On the other hand, given the sales of the latest Potter book, it’s going to take a while to get rid of them all. Paul Futhey is a member of the Metroland Media Group. E-mail pfuthey@durhamregion.com. ‘Burn Harry Potter, burn’: foes Paul Futhey assistant editor EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com City’s senior of the year is constantly on the move By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Doris Madder isn’t content to let life pass her by. The 83-year-old president of the St. Martin’s Seniors Club likes to keep busy getting out, as well as helping others. Her tireless community contributions were recognized in June when the City of Pickering named her its 2005 Senior of the Year. “I like to have things to do, I don’t like to be idle,” she said. “I don’t like to be sitting around doing nothing.” Ms. Madder moved to St. Mar- tin’s in Pickering 24 years ago from Scarborough and she’s been active in the community ever since. She was secretary of the St. Martin’s Seniors Club for 15 years before taking over the role of president five years ago. “I try to look after as much as I can,” she said of the job. The club holds weekly bingos, monthly meetings, sometimes plans trips and organizes other events. She is also a member of the South Pickering Seniors Club and regularly attends church. “I enjoy life,” Ms. Madder said. “I can’t do everything I want to do.” One of her big accomplish- ments was helping to get flag bus service in Pickering. “I was at a council meeting when they were talking about transportation. I suggested we have a flag bus like Ajax,” she said. “After eight years we finally got the flag bus.” The specialized service stops at seniors’ residences, as well as other locations, and travels to the mall, the hospital and other destinations. “I always feel that a person, when they don’t drive, that it is important for them to (have a way to) get out,” she said. “I know I can get out but there were a lot of people saying they couldn’t get out because they didn’t have transportation.” Ms. Madder enjoys taking the bus to the Pickering Town Centre where she socializes and chats with friends. She also likes to talk with peo- ple on the bus and knows all the drivers. What was her reaction when she found out about the award? “I was a little bit surprised,” she said. Ms. Madder just likes to do what she can for others, while keeping busy. “I just like to be around peo- ple,” she said. “If I can help them, I’m glad to.” plan documentation, and it will also engage its stakeholders,” Ms. Fairfax said. “A decision on an airport on the Pickering lands site would not be made until at least 2009 when Transport Canada has completed its complete due diligence review of all supporting studies as deemed necessary, a federal environmental assessment is completed, and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority submits its Pickering airport master plan to the minister of transport.” The federal transport minister makes the final decision on whether an airport would be built. Mr. Shaw said he believed even with the altered schedule, a decision would still be made in 2008 or 2009 as they first anticipated. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 5, 2005 PAGE 7 P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

Call 310-CASH Mr. Jones was a key Crown witness against Mr. Jacobson, who faced sev- eral years in prison for his role in the violent robbery at a drug dealer’s Pickering home. Mr. Jacobson and his best friend, Sean Hall, conspired to kill Mr. Jones, 28, to keep him from testifying, juries heard at trials for the two men. Mr. Hall was also found guilty and is serving a life sen- tence. Mr. Jacobson was to attend a court hearing relating to the home invasion in September of 2002 when the escape took place. It’s believed he picked handcuff locks with safety pins and bolted from the Rossland Road building. He was at large for several hours before being tracked down and taken back into custody. The escape attempt resulted in heavy security measures being put in place when Mr. Jacobson’s mur- der trial was held at the courthouse during May and June. Although his hands were free, Mr. Jacobson, now 30, wore leg irons throughout the trial; the shackles were not visible to jurors. When Mr. Jacobson testified in his own defence, a police officer was seated nearby. ✦ Escape from page 1 ✦ Review from page 1 Doris Madder won’t be Pickering idle infodurhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the NEWS ADVERTISER Review to begin Escape led to security changes Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser Doris Madder is the 2005 Senior of the Year in Pickering.

The Dukes of Hazzard Commu- nity Day is tomorrow (Aug. 6) from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and along with this weekend’s opening of the movie, they have safety demon- strations, clogging performances, displays and staff dressing up in costumes to impersonate the stars of the famous television show, now getting the big-screen treat- ment. “Our goal for this in particular is to fundraise for Mothers Against Drunk Driving,” says Joanna Ying, promotion co-ordinator for the theatre. Look for all the Dukes to be there along with Boss Hogg and Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane ready for pictures. But probably the real star of the show will be an authen- tic General Lee, a replica of the 1969 Dodge Charger made famous by the show, signed by members of the cast of the original program. Durham Regional Police are bringing a car involved in a drink- ing and driving accident to dis- play, while MADD representatives are providing information on the group. The Ajax Public Library is also involved and a child car seat safety check is planned. Inside, the theatre is holding draws and contests for a chance to win $1,000 in prizes donated by local businesses. Outside there will be free MexiCasa Nachos and Salsa and Topper’s Pizza available. Finally, starting at 6 p.m., the theatre has brought the Road Legends Cruises car show to the event. Cineplex Odeon Ajax 10 is at 248 Kingston Rd.

To that end, the Durham Region health department is offering free Safe Home- Safe Play sessions later this month. The emphasis is on preventing drowning by practising safety when near water. Chris Steinwall, a public health nurse with the depart- ment, says the sessions are open to everyone. There will be information on “preven- tion strategies for children six and under,” she states. A study released earlier this year by the Canadian Institute for Health Informa- tion (CIHI) noted drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death among Ontario children under five. The report also indicated children under five are in- volved in more drowning incidents that any other age group and 76 per cent of chil- dren involved in a drowning were playing or walking near water when the incident happened. “Information on drowning shows that a baby or young child can drown in only four centimetres of water,” Ms. Steinwall adds. “With almost 42 per cent of backyard pool victims being toddlers and young children under five, it’s important for parents and caregivers to understand and take the necessary precau- tions to ensure children’s safety while around water.” Members of the Life Sav- ing Society will also be on hand to provide information on how to properly fit a per- sonal flotation device (PFD). To reduce the risk of drowning, the health depart- ment encourages using the following guidelines: • Keep constant, arm’s- length adult supervision of all children near water, in- cluding pools, bathtubs and beaches; • Residential pools should be fenced on all four sides, with a self-closing, self- latching gate. Check with your municipality for height and type of fencing require- ments; • Have first aid and CPR training for parents, caregiv- ers and pool owners; • Infants placed in water should be held by an adult at all times; and • Only use government- approved PFDs for all young children and those who can’t swim. PFDs are not a substi- tute for direct supervision. In Ajax, the health depart- ment holds sessions at the outdoor Memorial Pool, next to Town Hall, on Wednesday, Aug. 17 and Thursday, Aug. 25, from 2 to 5 p.m. In Pickering, it’s at the rec- reation complex on Valley Farm Road south of Hwy. 2, on Thursday, Aug. 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. By Derek Giberson Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — It was a quick visit -- but on the day they arrived in Durham, they reached a milestone in their journey to battle brain tu- mours. “We hit the $100,000 mark today,” said Krista Goddard on Saturday, as the cross- Canada Ride for Lily took a pit stop in Oshawa at Mackie Harley Davidson. The ride, which kicked off earlier that day in Hamilton, will travel out to Vancouver and then all the way back to Montreal as part of a cam- paign to raise awareness of brain tumours and brain cancer, and funds for treat- ment research. Lily, the namesake and inspiration of the campaign and daughter of Ms. God- dard and Laurence Goddard of Waterloo, died of brain cancer last Nov. 1. She was just two-and-a-half years old. At the time, family and friends were planning the Goals for Lily hockey tour- nament, when her condition began to rapidly deteriorate and she passed away before the event. Since that event, the Ride for Lily was born. The ride will be dropping off 125 handmade, sponsored quilts at pediatric wards in hospitals across the coun- try, something that Lily was given when she was receiv- ing treatment in Hamilton. The funds raised by the ride, as well as by the Goals for Lily tournament and Goals for Lily wristbands, will go to the Brain Tumour Research Centre at McGill University in Montreal. “The money goes through the front door, through the offices, directly to the labs,” explained Jim Davidson of Whitby, Lily’s grandfather and one of the organizers of the campaign. Creating awareness is a major motivation of the ride. According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, it is estimated about 2,500 Canadians will be diagnosed with brain cancer this year. In Canada, brain tumours are the second leading cause of cancer deaths for children and adults under 35. “(Brain cancer) affects so many people,” said James Scott, a friend of the God- dard family who was heading up the ride. “I knew Lily since she was born. I took my kids over to play with her.” Anyone interested in help- ing the Ride for Lily, sponsor- ing quilts for $100 or looking for Goals for Lily wristbands can visit www.goalsforlily. com or contact the David- sons at 905-668-7815.

And her neighbour isn’t a person or family, but a school full of kids and staff members. The Pickering woman’s four children have all attended Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Pick- ering, the youngest graduating in June. Over the course of 23 years, she has spent countless hours volunteering at the school, as treasurer on the parent council; running pizza and hotdog days; planning graduations and first communions and confirmations, fundraising, teacher appreciation lunches; and an emergency run to the store for coffee or more food. If it needed doing, Ms. Riches was on it. “I just enjoyed being part of the school itself,” she says. “Being involved with the teachers and of course the principal, vice-principal and the secre- tary, you feel like you’re part of the staff there. It was almost like I worked there.” When a new administrator came to the school, Ms. Riches was a resource, reminding the rookie that this or that event was coming up. She began her volunteering in the classroom and with school trips, but “it was almost everything at the end.” The end because after more than a generation of service, Ms. Riches is retiring. Sort of. Described by staff as a “parent extraordinaire” and “an insti- tution here at this school,” they’re not ready to let her go. “I said that I would help if they needed my help,” she says. “Already two Grade 8 teachers have said, ‘we need you for Grade 8 grad next year’.” In nominating Ms. Riches for the Durham Catholic District School Board’s award of merit, the school staff’s letter praised her as “a shining example of true faith commitment to Catholic education. “Mary is a faithful, dedicated woman whose energy, sense of humour and empathetic ear have stood her in good stead all these years. As a staff, it’s so reassuring to have someone who knows the history of the school, who is willing to do any job whatsoever at the school to make it a truly great place for kids to be.” Ms. Riches confessed she was a bit emotional at the end of the school year. Even though she’ll likely be back at Holy Redeemer from time to time, she says it won’t be the same. “I’m going to miss the school, I really am,” she says. “I was crying at the end. How could I put it, I’ve lost a friend. Even though I can visit anytime, it’s different not having a child in the school.” If you have a story to tell about a Good Neigh- bour who has gone above and beyond to help someone in a time of need, let us know by e-mailing dstell@durhamregion.com.

The work was recently recognized by school staff with her nomination for the Durham Catholic District School Board’s award of merit, praising her ‘commitment’ to Catholic education. With her youngest child, Matthew, left, now a graduate of Grade 8, Ms. Riches is scaling back her work at the school, although she admits she’s not retiring all together.

And that is just what is happening. People are ‘cocooning’ like never before – they are happy to stay at home with their families and to make the most of their summer at home, more and more homeowners are buying swimming pools. They have discovered that with a pool in the backyard the options for summertime fun, relaxation and exercise are endless. A morning swim followed by breakfast on the patio is a great way to start the day whether you are on vacation or on your way to work. In the afternoon, the kids can enjoy a variety of aquatic sports and games in the pool, while the adults can sit back and enjoy the sun and fresh air. Best of all, you know where your children are at all times – you don’t have to worry about what they are doing or who they are with – they are safe in their own backyard. When you get home from work you can quickly leave the day’s stresses behind with a quick dip. On weekends and evenings, nothing says “summer” like a pool party. Fire up the barbecue, turn on the pool lights and invite some friends over. A pool is the perfect backdrop for entertaining where everyone will enjoy themselves and not have to worry about getting on a plane to go home.

Po sitioning your body correctly reduces the strain on muscles and joints. So use these tips to enjoy the gardening season from beginning to end. Alternate your tasks. Switch between heavy chores such as digging and lighter, less physically demanding tasks such as planting. Do the “scissors” when you rake. Stand with one leg forward and one leg back when you rake. Switch legs and hands every few minutes. You should kneel when planting or weeding. Constant bending can put strain on your back, neck, leg muscles and joints, so kneeling is recommended. Use kneepads or a kneeling mat (with handles) to minimize the amount of bending required, and to make kneeling more comfortable, keep your back straight. T ips for a moving experience in the garden Change positions frequently. Make a point of changing position every 10 to 15 minutes. Move from kneeling to standing, from planting to digging. Pace Yourself. A minimum of three brief breaks each hour is recommended. Take a few moments to move around, stretch your muscles, have a drink or simply sit and relax. Spread the work over several days - you will still achieve the same great results.

Buying versus renting: Which one makes sense for you? A valuable mortgage tip from your RBC Royal Bank mobile mortgage specialist Today’s low interest rates have encouraged many renters to become homeowners: the lower the mortgage rates, the lower the monthly payments, and the great- er the chance that your mortgage payments will be less then your rental payments, especially in larger cities. From a strict cash fl ow stand- point, you may fi nd renting less costly then owning due to the additional costs of home owner- ship such as taxes, maintenance and utilities. However, unlike renting, home ownership is a form of investment. Consider the fact that the average home in Canada would have cost $76,518* in 1983. In September 2003, that same home was valued at about $197,969* – a signifi cant increase in value. According to Royal Bank of Canada economist Carl Gomez, “If you compare average home prices over the past 20 years, there has been a 160% increase. Also, purchasing a home is a forced saving. You keep building equity year after year, versus just paying rent. And you can build up sizable equity in just 10 years.” That’s money you can access when you sell the home, or equity that you can use to ‘bor- row against’ to reach other goals later in life, such as a child’s post secondary education, a vacation property, or travel. For more information, contact me, your RBC Royal Bank Mobile Mortgage Specialist, at the number below. I can look after all your mortgage needs, includ- ing pre-approvals and mortgage applications, anytime, anywhere, including evenings and week- ends, at your home or offi ce. &ORMOREMORTGAGETIPSPLEASECALLMEANYTIME 2OBERT+AVANAGH ROBERTKAVANAGH RBCCOM PICKERING — Repair work at the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary begins tomorrow, Aug. 6, and volunteers are needed.

Will take guests back to the roaring ’20s in attempt to raise $300,000 By Derek Giberson Staff Writer DURHAM — A celebrat- ed Canadian hockey de- fenceman has his eyes on a goal that will doubtless be game-winning for many post-secondary students coming to study in Dur- ham. For mer Toronto Maple Leaf Bob Baun and wife Sallie will be the honoura- ry co-chairs for this year’s University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology Legacy Gala on September 24. The purpose of the gala, which is in its second year and will be held at Tosca Banquet Hall in Oshawa, is to raise funds for schol- arships and bursaries for UOIT and Durham College students. The target amount is $300,000 and this year’s theme is The Roaring ‘20s - What Delicious Rhapsody. Mr. Baun is best known for his overtime goal on a broken ankle in Game 6 of the 1964 finals against the Detroit Red Wings. The goal tied up the series, which the Leafs went on to win in Toronto two nights later. He was injured while blocking a slapshot from Gordie Howe, but rather than dropping out of the game, he had his ankle fro- zen and returned later to save the game. “It’s a pretty special opportunity to be on the ground floor of a new uni- versity that’s come into being,” said Mr. Baun, ex- pressing enthusiasm over being involved in a project that will assist many young students. “The bursary and schol- arship program is really what gets me interested,” he added, because of “the whole philosophy that no student gets turned down because of money.” Mr. Baun, who turns 69 in September, has five chil- dren, 12 grandchildren, and is pursuing an MBA. “It keeps my mind going,” he said. He has also studied at Wharton School of Busi- ness and is generally a big promoter of higher educa- tion. He urges young peo- ple to pursue careers that have meaning to them. “You’ve got to love what you’re doing,” said Mr. Baun. “That’s the key to life.” Not content with just being in the honourary position, he is actively in- volved in recruiting donors for the UOIT Legacy Gala.

As ‘Max’ in ‘Bailey’s Bil- lions’, he plays a school friend to one of the other main characters in the movie, a girl named Sam. Together with Sam’s mom, and Bai- ley the dog’s guardian Ted, who happens to be able to communicate with Bailey in their language ‘Doggish’, they try to rescue the dog when he’s kidnapped by a jealous relative who was left out of a will that left billions to Bailey. The movie stars Tim Cur- rie as the bad guy and Dean Cain as Bailey’s guardian. Munro, who attends Picker- ing High School, says it was a great experience working with the stars. “Tim Currie was the best, he’s hilarious on set and off,” says the 15-year-old. “And he’s really supportive.” As for Cain, he was funny as well, Munro says, and was like meeting a long-lost cousin. They shot the film nearly two years ago, but it took time to reach a stage where it could be promoted and distributed in major the- atres, Munro’s dad Scott Chambers explains. Now in theatres in select U.S. cit- ies, moviegoers can see it locally at the AMC Theatres in Whitby. Munro’s had several act- ing experiences so far, both with and without his twin brother Thomas. Munro re- cently finished a television movie that aired in July on the Lifetime Network in the United States and has had other roles in TV movies and shows. Signed with an agent in To ronto, he’s waiting for his next role to come along and adds that he’s serious about trying to make a career out of acting. Asked if he did any stunts in Bailey’s Billions he said “I wish” and added he would like to in future roles. Ta king this part was a natural fit all around for him since his family has three dogs which he loves to play with. He gave away a secret to the filming, explaining it took three dogs to play the role of Bailey. He says he was playing with the dogs on set all the time. “It was a lot of fun,” he says. “I like being on set, it’s exciting and it’s one of my favourite parts of being an actor.” He longs for a role in an action movie though and his passion is to do a medieval type of movie. “I’m a Lord of the Rings fanatic,” he adds. “I’ve seen Return of the King five times.” He sees himself more as the Aragon character than Frodo when pressed to de- scribe what role he’d like to play in such a movie. Watching himself on screen when he saw the completed movie was a lit- tle hard. Munro explains he always sees the flaws in his work. “I think I did an OK job, but I think I could have done better,” he says. “But (movie’s producers) thought I did a good job and that’s a confidence booster.” The following movie opens in theatres this weekend: Dukes of Hazzard Directed by Jay Chan- drasekhar Starring: Johnny Knox- ville, Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson Rated: PG-13 Good old boy cousins, Bo and Luke Duke, with the help of their eye-catching cousin Daisy and moon- shine-running Uncle Jesse, try to save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County’s corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg. Their efforts constantly find the Duke boys eluding authorities in the General Lee, their famed 1969 or- ange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the small town Sheriff . durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 5, 2005 PAGE 23 A/P 3!452$!93%04%-"%2n0- /3(!7!#)6)#!5$)4/2)5- 4ICKETSAVAILABLEATTHE#IVIC!UDITORIUM"OX/FFICE 4ICKETMASTEROUTLETSOR4ICKETFASTONLINEATWWWTICKETMASTERCA /RDERBYPHONEAT ,)-)4%$6)0&,//23%!43 ,)#%.#%$&,//2'!34!.$).' 2%3%26%$34!.$3 “A true“A true AuthenticAuthentic British pub.British pub.

Ajax pitcher moving towards school saves records By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — “Baseball is pretty much my life.” So says Scott Robinson, the 22- year-old Ajax resident with the resume to back it up. He’s pitched for the University of Maine Black Bears for three seasons, played summer ball for the Oshawa Dodgers of the Intercounty Base- ball League, and, to top it off, his summer job is with the Academy Baseball School, where he works as a pitching instructor. “I’ve played for 17 years,” said Robinson. “I started pitching in peewee. I’m not very overpower- ing, I’m more of a location guy. I get it away from the hitters, try to keep them off balance and not give them anything to swing at.” Robinson was playing with Te am Ontario when he was ap- proached by the Black Bears. “We travelled to the States, and I got some exposure there, and I was recruited,” he said. As he prepares to return for a fourth year with Maine, Robin- son notes playing at the univer- sity level has been a great experi- ence. “It’s been fantastic. To have the opportunity to travel, to go plac- es I’ve never been, and to play with guys that end up in the big leagues, it’s a wonderful experi- ence,” he said. The experience has also helped him grow as a player. “When you practice ball every day for four years, you’re bound to get better. I’ve become a much smarter ball player.” The Black Bears have given Robinson many chances to show his pitching prowess, using him as both a closer and a starter. Pressure has not been a problem though, as the team has had great success during his tenure. “We’ve won our conference championship twice, including this past year,” he said. The team has also played in two NCAA Re- gional Championships, including a trip to this year’s tournament in Mississippi, where the Black Bears won their first NCAA re- gional game in 14 years. Playing in the NCAA tourna- ment was a unique experience for Robinson. “It’s a lot differ- ent, there’s 8,000 people at every game, screaming at you and boo- ing you,” he said. Robinson is also making his mark on the Maine record book. He broke the single season ap- pearance record last year, and next season he hopes to add the all-time appearances and all-time saves marks to his resume, along with the single-season saves re- cord. While he has grown as an ath- lete, Robinson’s first priority has been to get a good education. “A cademically, it’s been fantas- tic,” he said. Studying kinesiology and phys- ical education, Robinson has already earned his bachelor of science. After one more year at Maine, he’s moving to Springfield College to attain his master’s de- gree. Robinson’s father, Frank, is proud of his son for keeping his studies in the forefront. “If no one comes calling for baseball, he still has that education in the back of his pocket. So I’m very pleased,” he said. For now, Robinson has high hopes for his final season with the Black Bears. “I’d like to win another confer- ence title, and if we can keep the team together, maybe we can win the regional,” he said. After that, his education will guide him. “One of my goals is to be a teacher,” he said. “Playing in the big leagues is always a dream, and that door is always open if anyone shows interest. But my education is number one for me.” Robinson saves the Black Bears Under-10s earn home championship AJAX — The Ajax Strikers under-10 girls’ rep soccer team has struck again. The Ajax Soccer Club squad won gold — its fourth tourna- ment crown of the season — as the Canadian Cup champions at the annual Ajax Soccer Club tournament recently. Ajax Soccer Club teams, in- cluding the Strikers, played host to a number of teams from across Ontario for the recent tourna- ment. In the final against the Etobi- coke Vipers, the Strikers played true to form, with advanced pass- ing and playmaking, en route to a 4-1 victory. Coming out fast in the first two games of round-robin play, the Ajacians beat the Scarbor- ough Fury 4-0 and Barrie Spirit 5-0. The biggest challenge during preliminary action came against the York United Hurricanes, a team which has proven to be their toughest competitors this season. The Strikers and Hur- ricanes battled to a 1-1 tie. Ajax locked up a spot in the final with a 1-0 victory over the Belleville Comets. The talented and hardwork- ing team of 14 players has had an outstanding season thus far, going undefeated in league games and tournaments, posting a mid-season record of 28-0-1. Te am members are Charmaine Bosse, Tama ra Brown, Darrian Capizzo, Bethany Coke, Mikayla Dias, Lauren Duggan, Sonya Fe- siak, Keyanna Howard, Jaimie Laing, Alexandria Lamontagne- Maycock, Mackenzie Langford, Sarah Liderri, Colleen Milne and Sabrina Yusuf. Joe Capizzo, Bob Langford and Chris Duggan coach the team. Ta mmy Maycock manages the team. Ajax girls Strike for fourth tournament crown A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Scott Robinson is in his element these days, playing baseball, baseball, and more baseball. However, moving forward, he’s also working hard on his uni- versity studies. In Brief AUGUST 5, 2005 Panthers sign five players PICKERING — NHL teams aren’t the only hockey clubs signing players these days. The Pickering Panthers have inked six players as the club prepares for the upcoming OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season. Mark Duchesne, a 19-year-old from Stratford, will be tending the net following a stellar cam- paign last year when he back- stopped the Listowel Cyclones to the Mid- We stern junior ‘B’ title. Derrick Rotundi, from the Whitby midget ‘AAA’ team, will patrol the blue-line. Four new forwards have been added, including Patrick Jobb of the Port Perry MoJacks ju- nior ‘C’ squad. The others are To dd Hosmer from the Junior Canadiens midgets, Daniel Silva of Pickering’s St. Mary Catho- lic Secondary School, and Tyler Melancon from the Quinte minor midgets. General manager Frank Rob- inson noted in a press release that additional signings are being sought, as the team needs to replace several players, such as Mike Rapson, who is over- age, and Danny Sullivan, who’s going to Niagara University. Other players from last year’s squad no longer with the team are Kyle Roulston (Utica Col- lege), Jeff Birr (Lake Forest Col- lege), and Derek Lynden (Man- hattanville College). Also, the OHL Saginaw Spirit have signed Ryan Daniels and Chris Chappell. Training camp opens Mon- day, Aug. 22, with a five-game exhibition schedule. The Pan- thers play a 49-game season, with the opener set for Sunday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m. against the Va ughan Vipers.

Hey Sport, is Your Coach an All-Star?ASpecia lE v ent Presente d b y Du r h a m Region M e d ia GroupDu r h a m Region M e d ia GroupMetroland Yamanaka part of 14 Canadian martial artists at ‘Jewish Olympics’ By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A Pickering teen traded in her black belt for gold at the ‘Jewish Olym- pics’ late last month. Jaime Yamanaka, 18, was part of the 14-member Cana- dian karate team that com- peted at the 17th Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv, Israel late last month. The Canadian martial art- ists carried off 16 medals, with one of the gold ones belong- ing to Yamanaka. Ya manaka won the kata portion of the open women’s category, defeating a U.S. Pan American champion 2-1 in the three-round event. “Oh, it was amazing,” says Yamanaka, who trains under her father, Ron, at the Markham-based Budo Life Centre. Ron Yamanaka also served as a coach of the Canadian karate team. “I couldn’t stop smiling. “As soon as they awarded it to me, I was completely ec- static.” Ya manaka tried out for the Canadian team back in Janu- ary and was one of only four women to make the trip to Israel. Most of the team members were from Toronto and the GTA. She decided to concentrate on com- peting in kata, a se- ries of pre-arranged manoeuvres, at the Maccabiah Games rather than kumite (sparring) so she would stand a better chance at earning a medal. “I knew I was better at forms (kata), so I wanted to focus all my energy on that. I knew I was a medal contender, so I wanted to give it my all,” says Ya manaka, who earned her junior black belt at age 14 and her black belt at age 16. Ya manaka notes the Macca- biah Games is the largest and most prestigious competition in her young competitive ca- reer. She notes the opposition there was incredibly tough, es- pecially those from the Israeli and American teams, which were the largest for karate. The competition “was ridic- ulous,” she says. “I was just watching them before the competition and it really made me ner- vous.” The Games repre- sented her first time competing interna- tionally for Canada. As well, it was her first trip to Israel, and she made the most of it, exploring the middle eastern country. “It was a really good opportunity to learn about Israel and its culture. “We got to go to the Dead Sea, taste new foods and meet new people. It was a great ex- perience, all around; it was not just about competing,” she says. Ya manaka plans to use the Maccabiah Games as a spring- board to competing at other international meets. Her next major goal is to compete for Canada in karate at the Pan Am Games in Ar- gentina in 2007.
