Drawings for the more than $5 mil- lion renovation and two-storey expan- sion to St. Mary Catholic Secondary School can be sent to the ministry of education, decided trustees at the June 12 Durham Catholic District School Board meeting. Trustees approved a report for the project, as well as the submission of the drawings. “It seems like I’ve been working on this school all my life,” said architect Cid Cugini, of Makrimichalos Cugini Architects. “This is addition number three.” The addition and renovations pre- sented in the report include 11 class- rooms, a new culinary lab and room, three teacher workrooms, three semi- nar rooms and additional student washrooms. Extensive renovations will enlarge staff rooms, the general office area and guidance centre and trans- form a food services room into one for vocal music. The addition’s exterior will be matched to the existing build- ing. According to a staff report, the archi- tect will prepare drawings so a tender can be issued in late September 2006 and the contract awarded near the end of October. The project should But Clarington mayor confident new units would be at Darlington By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — A Provincial announce- ment Tuesday calling for Ontario Power Generation to begin the process aimed at eventual construction of new reactors at existing nuclear facilities has Claring- ton’s mayor confident they will be built next to Darlington. However, Pickering remains on a list of six sites that the Province has directed OPG to consider. The government directed the On- tario Power Authority (OPA) Tuesday to go ahead with a revised version of its 20-year electricity supply mix, which includes directing OPG to look at the feasibility of refurbishing units at both Pickering and Darlington, and building new ones. So far, there has been no specific an- nouncement as to where new reactors may be built, though a news release from the Province said OPG has been directed “to begin a federal approvals process, including an environmental assessment, for new units at an existing facility.” That narrows the field to six: three sites near Ottawa, the Bruce facility near Tiverton, Pickering and Darlington. But, Clarington’s mayor said he had it on good authority that the preferred site is on the OPG-owned lands next to Darlington. “I think the other potential sites are going to get a look for some of the other future nuclear capacity, but it’s been in- dicated to me that Darlington will be first to go,” said Mayor Mutton, who declined to say where he got the assurance. Pickering’s mayor is pleased the city is on the list. “Obviously we’re pleased that Pickering is being considered,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “(OPG) has been a good partner in the community and is one of our biggest employers.” He doesn’t think Pickering will be a A TRADITIONAL DANCE FOR FRENCHMAN’S BAY FESTIVAL Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Bharatanatyam Dancers Shayena Loganathan, 11, left, Tanesha Thirukumar, 10, and Piravena Selrakumar, 11, perform a traditional Indian dance at the 15th Annual Frenchman’s Bay Festival on Saturday.

The 81-year-old Pickering man is one busy volunteer. At a ceremony on June 4 he was named senior of the year by the City of Pickering in recognition for all that he does in the community. “A r olling stone gathers no moss...I can’t sit down and see everyone doing work and not help,” he said of being so active. “One of these days I might need help too.” Mr. Tranquada is a volunteer driver for Community Care Durham, a mem- ber of the South Pickering Seniors Club who helps with both bingo and lawn bowling, and he is always there to carry a flag for the Royal Canadian Legion during parades. Volunteering has always been a part of Mr. Tranquada’s life. He was in the volunteer corps before joining the Brit- ish air force during the Second World War. In the mid-1960s he coached bowling for children in Pickering. “I always liked helping people,” he said. “(I do it because of) the pleasure I get out of helping people and seeing the gratitude.” He said he especially likes helping seniors through Community Care be- cause without the volunteer drivers, they’d have no way to get around. Mr. Tranquada found out a few weeks ago he would be receiving the honour. “I was shocked, surprised,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d done that much to think I deserved anything like that.” He said when Mayor Dave Ryan pre- Busy volunteer Pickering’s senior of the year St. Mary getting $5-million facelift ✦ See McCafferty, Page A5 ✦ See Top, Page A2 ✦ See OPG, Page A2 DurhamDurham Daily News Every weekday at noon TOUCHDOWN Dolphins make it three straight Page B1 View festival video online at PICKERING — Suspicious fires caused damage to abandoned houses in close proximity overnight Friday, Durham Re- gional Police said.

But, until more detail is available, it’s hard to say what sites would be considered. “We are happy the gov- ernment recognized that we have a role to play moving these processes forward,” said Mr. Earl. But, “what are the details around these pro- cesses?” Those should become a lit- tle more clear Thursday, after the OPA has time to “analyze the directive” from the Prov- ince, said OPA spokesman Brian Hay. The OPA plans a news conference then, and more updates in weeks to come. But, it may be months be- fore specific sites and tech- nologies are decided on. The Ministry has pointed to three primary sites --- Darlington, Pickering and Bruce --- but no decisions have been made, stressed Mr. Hay. “The ministry has said those are the three primary sites, but we’ll do the anal- ysis. We don’t jump to any conclusions,” he said. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Pat Tranquada is the 2006 Senior of the Year in Pickering.

Window smashed, woman seriously injured By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Police have charged a teenager with several criminal charges in connection with an incident in which a Courtice woman was seriously injured when someone hurled a rock through the windshield of her car. Ontario Provincial Police announced Tuesday they’d made an arrest in the long-running investigation, launched last January when a rock tossed from an overpass smashed through the wind- shield of Nadia McLean’s Volkswagen as it travelled along Hwy. 401. A bail hearing was to be held Tues- day for the youth, a 14-year-old Oshawa resident who can’t be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The boy has been charged with five counts of mischief endangering human life and one count of aggravated assault. OPP detectives were assisted by Dur- ham Regional Police during the inves- tigation, launched after the Jan. 29 inci- dent. Lead investigator, OPP Detective Constable Cinto Roy, was not available for comment. Ms. McLean, a 28-year-old teacher at St. Charles Garnier School in Whitby, was on her way home around 2 a.m. on a Sunday after picking up relatives and friends at an event in Toronto when the 1.1-kg rock was dropped from the Albert Street overpass onto her eastbound car. The jagged rock tore through the wind- shield and smashed into the woman’s face, causing numerous fractures and damage to her mouth and teeth. Ms. McLean’s brother grabbed the steering wheel and gained control of the car, bringing it to a stop. She was rushed to hospital and un- derwent emergency surgery. A few days later, when OPP held a press conference to call for information on the attack, Ms. McLean held her own media briefing in a Courtice community hall. Joined by her fiance Gabriel Ga- gnon, Ms. McLean expressed no bitter- ness toward the person who assaulted her. “I’m not feeling much anger,” she said at the time. “I’m honestly feeling lucky that I’m alive.” Teen charged in highway rock-dropping incident Masked men rob gas bar PICKERING — Three masked men escaped after a robbery at a Pickering gas bar early Friday. Durham police said the suspects threatened a clerk working at the Petro Canada gas bar at Bayly Street and Whites Road around 2:40 a.m. before taking off with cash, cigarettes and lot- tery tickets. No weapon was seen and the clerk was not injured, police said. 75 Bayly St West, AJAX 905-427-4194 • www.ouaccanada.com CongratulationsCongratulations on on 10 great years!10 great years!

What began as a small Kindermusik studio has blossomed into a fl ourishing creative arts center! As a young girl and adolescent I dreamt of teaching children dance and music. I didn’t imagine I would own my own business, but I knew in some way, shape or form I would be teaching. It wasn’t until the spring of 1995 that my life changed completely when I met a woman who introduced me to Kindermusik. And it was my Mother who encouraged me to start my business. At lot has happened in 10 years and my business has changed signifi cantly! I have had the privilege of edu- cating thousands of young children over the years while developing wonderful friendships. I no longer have to work alone. Women who not only love children but also believe in the vision of Catching Firefl ies surround me on a daily basis. And I am very proud to have managed to grow my business while giving birth to and raising two beautiful children, ages 6 and 9 years. I can only imagine what the next 10 years will bring as Catching Firefl ies continues to play an integral role in the lives of young children.

Pickering TM PAGE A4 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ JUNE 14, 2006A/P Regional chairman’s event boosts students at Durham College, UOIT By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — A new fundraising re- cord was set at this year’s Chairman’s Charity Classic golf tournament. “We raised $490,000,” regional chair- man and tournament host Roger An- derson said. “I don’t know of any golf tournament that raises that much money.” The annual golf tournament attract- ed 160 golfers to Deer Creek Golf Club on June 8. “Every penny raised goes to help kids in Durham Region,” Mr. Anderson said. In its 10th year, the tournament has raised nearly $2 million to help stu- dents at Durham College and the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy achieve their post-secondary goals. This year’s total is more than $100,000 more than last year’s amount. The money raised supports Junior Achievement and a new initia- tive, Abilities Centre Durham. The centre, Mr. Anderson said, will be similar to Variety Village in Scar- borough, a unique sports training and fitness centre with sports and fitness programs for children and youth with special needs. “Hopefully, with the continued sup- port of the federal government and the Province, it will be a reality sooner rath- er than later,” Mr. Anderson said. He attributes much of the success of the tournament to the corporate citi- zens in Durham who support the tour- nament. “I can’t thank the sponsors enough, I just find it absolutely phenomenal,” Mr. Anderson said. “Plus the golf club and staff at Deer Creek did a fantastic job for us.” T ournament nears $500,000 mark Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Michael McCarthy tees off at this year’s Chairman’s Charity Classic golf tournament at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet facility in Ajax.

After you have calculated the maximum home price you can afford, you will need to calculate the upfront costs and expenses associated with buying a home to make sure you are fi nancially prepared. Step 4 - What should you buy? Before you start searching for a home you need to think about your current and future housing needs and what characteristics are important to you in a home. Step 5 - What professionals should you call on? This step describes the roles played by the professionals you will call on in the home buying process: real estate agent, mortgage specialist, lawyer/notary, inspector, and a home insurance broker. Step 6 - Ready to buy? Once you fi nd the home you would like to buy, you will need to present the vendor with an Offer to Purchase or an Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Step 7 - The fi nal steps?

It will be financed through pupil accom- modation grants and facility re- newal funds. The prelimi- nary project budget estimates construction costs at about $4.4 million, with a total cost of about $5.2 million. “It seems to be about half a million dollars a room, that seems quite ex- pensive,” said Trustee Fred Jones. Mr. Cugini said the price of steel and construction has increased and the renovations are expensive as well. For this type of construction, it’s about $130 to $140 a square foot, he added, and said they will be looking at ways to save money during the process. “Most of the cost will be in the me- chanical-electrical,” said Mr. Cugini. The cost of furnishing is just an es- timate based on five per cent of the construction contingency cost. Trustee Jim McCafferty asked how the project would impact the school’s current 16 portables on site. “With this addition I’m assuming we should be able to get rid of the majority of these?” said Trustee McCafferty. Gerry O’Neill, controller of planning and admissions for the Durham Cath- olic board, said they are waiting until next September to assess how many portables will still be needed. 21 students in the average Durham high school class DURHAM — Secondary school classes average 21.26 students to one teacher in the Durham District School Board. According to a staff report present- ed during the June 5 standing committee meeting, the information is based on counts collected in October and March of the current school year. Average class sizes are determined using a for- mula that includes students and credits. Cartwright High School in Black- stock had the lowest average size, with 14.9 students, and J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate the highest, at 23.42. Trustees approved a committee motion to accept the report, submit copies to school councils, the minister of education, and make copies available to the public through schools and the education centre. They also approved adjusting the secondary class average by one, not to exceed 22 to 1, for the purpose of addressing workload issues to allow teachers room for extracur- ricular activities and ensure the board is compliant with the ministry for 2006/07. Parent to chair involvement committee DURHAM — The school community council regional steering committee is changing. During the Durham District School Board’s June 5 standing committee meeting, trustees approved a staff rec- ommendation to continue the regional steering committee under the name ‘par- ent involvement committee’ and have it chaired by a parent. Trustees also gave the committee a mandate of overseeing parameters and approving activities to be funded with provincially allocated money, as well as enhancing linkages to the direc- tor of education. According to the report, $16,334 was provided to the school board to support the committee. The school community council region- al steering committee currently includes parent representatives from school com- munity councils, trustees, and school and board staff. Library at UOIT, college picks up international award DURHAM — The University of On- tario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and Durham College earned top honours for their new campus library. The American Library Association (ALA) and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) awarded the library an Interior Design Award in the category of Academic Libraries, over 30,000-square-feet, at the Library Inte- rior Design Competition. The competi- tion honours design creativity, function, esthetics, and satisfaction of a client’s objectives, and received more than 100 entries from across the continent. Opened in October 2004, the building was designed by Diamond and Schmidt Architects Inc. It incorpo- rates wireless technology, research work stations, electronic classrooms, computer work stations, and a three- storey, glass rotunda fireside reading room. Education briefs JUNE 14, 2006 ✦ McCafferty from page A1 Jim McCafferty McCafferty wants to know how many portables will be gone PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ JUNE 14, 2006P T hroughout history the gods have saved espe- cially delicious forms of penance for those who dare to walk amongst them. Ica- rus had his wings melted for daring to fly too close to the sun, Medusa ended up with a seriously bad hair day for lov- ing herself too much and have you seen Joan Rivers lately? I’m still unsure what I did to deserve it, but my particular atonement was called “The Gazebo of Devilment.” I suppose I should have paid more heed to the sales- person’s warning that “these babies can be a little tricky to put up.” But I didn’t. Nor did I give much weight to the fresh bandages on his fingers or the nervous tick around his left eye. In my hubris, I saw only a few quick turns of an Allen Key and then me; drink in hand, underneath my new outdoor shelter. I smugly drove the thing home, dragged it onto the back deck and naively slit open the box, which clearly should have been marked “Pandora.” For starters, the instruction booklet was nowhere to be found. Understand, I am a big “instructions” guy. I take great comfort from clearly num- bered sequences and detailed procedures. There is no such thing, in my world, as too sim- ple a direction. My ideal in- struction manual has chapter headings like “Getting to know your screwdriver,” “What is a nail?” and “Time to call Dad.” There was no such animal in this crate. In fact, after frantic minutes of digging through assorted hardware and tear- ing open bags of screws and bolts I found one tiny sheet, a microfiche really, with a faded diagram on it. The Dead Sea Scrolls were more legible. Still, like Sisyphus, the Don- ner party or Tony Danza for that matter, I didn’t know when to quit. My pride pushed me closer to oblivion. I began to haul everything out, anx- iously flinging metal pieces of every imaginable size and shape all around me. Within minutes the deck looked like Juno Beach, and was every bit as dangerous. Like an idiot I kept refer- ring back to the hieroglyphic instruction napkin, as though any kind of salvation lay in that postage stamp of misin- formation. I may as well have been flipping through Cosmo for all of the practical use it was. At least with Cosmo I might have finally found my G Spot or learned how to turn a woman on. No such luck with this project. Soon my wife joined me and inside of two washers and a self-tapping screw our mat- rimonial bonds were straining like a strapless bra on Pamela Anderson. Then the kids ap- peared, just in time to learn a few new choice words all of which rhymed in one way or another with Nantucket. Then, slowly, strut by twisted strut, bracket by bent bracket, the monstrosity took shape. But nothing was as it should’ve been and every Pyr- rhic victory was countered by a thousand wrong angles and mismatched joints. The thing looked less like a Gazebo than a piece of mod- ern art or possibly a downed aircraft. Finally, broken and ex- hausted, I found myself pros- trate at the altar of Duct Tape... the last hope for the truly per- plexed. Several hours later, their punishment wrought, the gods left me alone. Well, not entirely. I have, on my back deck, a misshapen, lean- ing reminder of my own fal- libility.

Nukes a reliable energy source Faced with no other realistic choices, Premier Dalton Mc- Guinty has made the only decision he can with regard to Ontario’s energy future: we are going ahead with new nuclear reactors. The Province is facing a clear crisis with energy demand -- boosted by population and economic growth -- which is on pace to outstrip supply in the very near future. Combine expanded power requirements with 15 years of do- nothing energy policy by all three major provincial parties and you have a disaster just waiting to happen. Consider too that no new energy production facilities have been constructed since the early 1990s and look at the years that were wasted as we waited in vain for refurbishment in Pickering and it’s easy to see that we need action now. A part of the provincial plan is to have Ontario Power Generation begin a feasibility study on refurbishing its existing nuclear facili- ties, including the four Pickering ‘B’ units. While nuclear reactors are incredibly costly to build and replace, they run efficiently at a fairly low price, once they are in operation. Clarington is an ideal site to place new reactors because it already has the location and infrastructure for expansion. Time is the enemy here. We’re looking at 12 to 15 years between the decision to build and the day when power flows from a new reactor. And with Ontario’s current stable of reactors winding down over the next two decades, the Province must get down to it immediately. New nuclear reac- tors constructed over the next decade will only replace what we are currently using. We’ll have to find a blend of conservation measures combined with other sources of supply if we are to ad- equately meet our future requirements. Certainly other options might be considered. Wind power is used to great effect in many European nations. In addition, energy can be generated by incineration of waste - - something studied by Durham Region staff and politicians on a recent trip to Europe. That is another option we could consider. Australia is looking to produce 25 per cent of its energy needs through solar power. We can and should look at all these electricity possibilities in future. But for now, we know how to build nuclear and we must surge forward to make sure we aren’t powerless in the decades to come.

Yes No Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Are you worried about a terrorist attack taking place in Durham Region? To tal votes: 657 Yes : 69.1 % No: 30.9 % LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A call to make City more bicycle friendly To the editor: Recently I moved from To- ronto to Pickering, where resi- dents take great care of the en- vironment. One way to do so is by switching from car driving to cycling. If such a trend con- tinues, the air in the city will be cleaner and there will be less traffic jams. However, as a cyclist, I do not feel safe or welcome by some motorists, honking or even shouting, ‘get out from the road’. Cyclists are entitled to share the road with other vehicles. Cyclists also pay taxes -- is it possible to allo- cate a small percentage of the City budget for cycling promo- tion? Cyclists are allowed only on the road and not on the sidewalks. In Pickering, due to safety concerns, most cyclists take sidewalks or road shoul- ders. The relationship between cyclists and walkers appears to be much better than between cyclists and drivers. I am ask- ing fellow cyclists to be kind to all road occupants, dem- onstrate care for walkers, slow down or stop and give way to walkers. Do not scare them. Cycling each day to and from work, I feel particularly unsafe on Brock Road between Bayly and Clements. As the road is also used by other cyclists, I am asking the City to consider some of the following options that would making cycling and walking Brock safer: make a shoulder on one side of the road; separate a bike line des- ignated only for walkers and cyclists; make a walk-bike path connecting Bayly with Dilling- ham Road; and extend Cle- ments to Sandy Beach Road. Andrzej Strzelczyk Pickering Parents have right to choose school To the editor: As an involved parent at my children’s school, I feel very thankful about the quality of education that my children are receiving at Frenchman’s Bay Public School. Through my role as school community council chairman, this feeling was reinforced this year when I was made aware of the constant demand of out- of-area parents seeking appli- cations for their children to attend our school. But this raises a rather trou- bling issue in the sense that many of these applications will now be turned down due to infrastructure and resource limitations. Why are these parents turned down? What about choice? Is it the right of the government (either mu- nicipal or government) to tell parents where to send their children? We are the taxpayers who pay for these services and should in theory have a choice for what we pay. But the government will speak about zoning regula- tions, population dynamics, etc., which doesn’t get to the heart of the matter. If parents want to send children to a certain school, it is their right. We are a much more mobile society than in the past and parents are will- ing to drive their children to school if they know that it is a school with a high academic reputation. Rather than hearing all the whys about the impracticali- ties of parental school choice, how about a voice that says why not? I seem to remember a politi- cian from the past called Rob- ert Kennedy who uttered the statement, “Some men dream things and say why, I dream things and say why not.” Richard Boire Pickering submitted photo Get Rhythm More than 100 young people, including Sergeant Anne-Marie Harper, were on parade at the Pickering Recreation Complex on June 4 as the Pickering Air Cadets, 856 Squadron celebrated its eighth annual re- view.

This study involved determining how best to provide an additional 25,000 cubic metres of immediate water storage for the Ajax / Pickering Zone 1 Pressure District. The site of the storage facility must also be to accommodate a future 25,000 cubic-metre expansion and a pumping station. The study resulted in the selection of an in-ground reservoir as the preferred method of water storage. Furthermore, in conjuction with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, a preferred in-ground reservoir site, located immediately east of Sideline 22 and approximately 150 metres south of Taunton Road, was selected over eight other possible locations. The site is located upon land currently managed by the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC). Therefore, for construction to proceed, land acquisition from the ORC would be required for both the reservoir site, which will be approximately three hectares in size, and for the connecting Zone 1 water main unless the selected alignment is within the road allowance. Disposition of land by ORC would be an undertaking subject to their Class EA process, as described in their document “Class Environmental Assessment Process for Management Board Secretariat & Ontario Realty Corporation,” dated April 28, 2004. In order to streamline the Class EA process and avoid duplication of effort, the assessment of the Region’s acquisition/ORC’s disposition of land has been conducted in this Class EA. Any comments, questions or concerns specifically regarding land acquisition by the Region/disposition by the ORC are welcome and can be directed to either of the project contacts listed below.

Tip #1: If you choose a chain store or big box outlet, you are actually hiring two companies – one is the retail outlet, the other is a contractor hired by the retail outlet. That makes you the middle man between two companies – not a good position. Tip #2: Big companies have big overhead, including the cost of managing independent contractors who are often forced to cut corners to meet tight schedules. Superior Bath Reno installers don’t leave until the job is done right. Tip #3: Watch out for “added costs”, like a fee for the estimate. Superior Bath Reno provides free estimates. Tip #4: Ask for on-site project management, a standard feature of the service provided by Superior Bath Reno. Tip #5: It makes sense to see everything at once. That means being able to see various bathroom designs and discussing those designs with bathroom renovation experts – exactly what you get at the Superior Bath Reno showroom. Tip#6: All warranties are not alike. Superior Bath Reno provides a full fi ve-year installation warranty. Tip #7: Insist that the renovators have proper insurance. Superior Bath Reno installers have workman’s comp and $2,000,000 liability insurance. Tip #8: Are you getting a complete installation? When Superior Bath Reno is fi nished, we hand over the keys to your beautiful new bathroom. Tip #9: Ask about the handling of call backs. Superior Bath Reno takes pride in doing superior installations, but if a call back is necessary, you can count on us to respond promptly. For more information, contact Joe Beninato, President – Superior Bath Reno, by phone (905-426-1714) or email info@superiorbath.ca.

The Trojans, playing at the Pren- tice Cup semifinal at the Rogers Cen- tre on Tuesday morning, dropped a 1-0 decision to Loyola Catholic Secondary School from Mississauga. The Region of Peel representatives scored the only run of the game in the first inning and then hung on the rest of the way to defeat Pickering High, the Durham Region representatives. The Trojans qualified for the Pren- tice Cup semifinals after winning the East Division tournament, defeating Whitby Sinclair Secondary School Celt- ics 7-6 in extra innings to advance to the final four. Loyola now meets the other semi- f inal winner, St. Michael’s College, at the Rogers Centre today. St. Mike’s defeated John F. Ross CVI from Guelph 5-3 in extra innings. Pickering High won the Prentice Cup in 1998. [ Baton twirling ] Pickering twirler headed to Italy PICKERING — Five members of the Oshawa-based Nationals Baton Corps will be part of the Canadian contingent competing at the World Championships in Rome, Italy this sum- mer. Team Trillium, which includes the five local athletes plus others from Newmarket and Mississauga, won the honour at the National Baton Twirling Team Trials in Saskatchewan recently. Also the provincial WBTF team champion, the team is coached by Jennifer Olson of the National Baton Corps as well as Jennifer Meron of Spectrum North in Newmarket and Kim Genton of Pizzazz in Mississauga. The local athletes are Gracie Mc- Geachie, Kristen Conner and Brittanie Forgette of Oshawa, Laurie Thompson of Pickering and Jamie Lynn Fudge of Newcastle. The team has trained all season, meeting throughout Durham, Burl- ington, Newmarket and Mississauga. Together they have many years of competitive experience. Only one team represents Canada each year at the World Champion- ships. It has been 10 years since a team from Ontario has been Canada’s world representative. Teams from 16 countries will be in attendance this year. The Nationals Baton Corps mem- bers are also competing as a group in Rome as part of the International Cup competition held in conjunction with the World Championships. Team members also had wonderful standings in the Senior Pair competi- tion (one senior pair is sent to Worlds each year also). Amy Genton (Mis- sissauga) and Fudge won the bronze medal in pair competition and team- mates Thompson and Conner won the silver. They are the pair alternates for World competition, should anything happen to the gold medallists from Alberta. There has only been one gold medal team at World Championships from Canada, in 1991. There is very stiff competition from the U.S., Japan and Italy in particular. To medal at Worlds would be incredible, but just getting a team together from Ontario at this level is a dream come true. [ Boxing ] Tiller’s fighters mix it up in Oshawa AJAX — Tiller’s Boxing Club fight- ers posted strong results at the recent ‘Bound for Beijing 2008’ boxing card hosted by the Motor City Boxing Club at the Le Skratch nightclub in Oshawa. Tiller’s sent two fighters -- Eric Mitchell and Kevin ‘The Hitman’ Had- away -- to the card. Hadaway secured a first-round RSC (referee stopped contest) over Jamie Baan of The Whip Gym in Waterloo in the 69-kilogram novice bout. Meanwhile, Mitchell, in only the second fight of his career, suffered a third-round RSC to Jake Lanigan of the Motor City Boxing Club. Mitchell received two standing eight counts in the final round before the referee stopped the fight. Tiller’s Boxing Club fighters will step into the ring next at the Steeltown Boxing Club next Saturday.

Yakura calls training in hotbed for sport a ‘lifetime opportunity’ By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — After conquering Canada, a Pickering badminton player is off to train with the world’s best. Nyl Yakura, 13, headed to Indone- sia recently to further his badminton training for the next three months, this coming after the precocious bad- minton player earned a gold and sil- ver medal at the Canadian Badminton Championships in Edmonton recent- ly. Ya kura received an invitation to train in Indonesia -- a world hotbed for badminton -- and immediately ac- cepted. He notes his mother’s cousin recommended him to coaches there. Calling his trip “a lifetime opportu- nity”, Yakura says he’ll start his training in the city of Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. From there, he’ll be identified as either a singles or a doubles player and, depending on what’s deemed his strongest discipline, he could be sent to another training centre for singles or remain in Jakarta to work on dou- bles. In Indonesia, he’ll train up to six hours a day, five days a week at one of the country’s training centres. He’ll have each weekend away from the game to recharge. “I’m real excited,” says Yakura. “It’s going to improve my play. I expect to get a lot better.” As it is, Yakura is already at the top of the heap of Canadian players in his age group. Playing in the under-14/ under-16 divisions at the recent na- tionals, Yakura was among 200 other junior badminton players from all 10 provinces. In a field of 50, he left as the tournament champion, the first such national champion from Durham Region since Nathaniel Allard several years ago. In the final, Yakura met top-seeded Dennis Cheng of B.C., accomplishing his goal of competing against the older, taller and stronger opponent. Dur- ing warmup, Yakura appeared to be nervous but, once the match started, things changed drastically as Yakura moved Cheng all over the court, even sliding to try to retrieve the shuttle, but to no avail as Yakura won easily 15-7, 15-1. Ya kura played second-seeded David Ponich of Alberta in the semifinal. Ponich had defeated Yakura at the Cal- gary Yonex Elite Series tournament, but this time would be different. Al- though Ponich had a built-in cheering section of the hometown Alberta fans, Ya kura’s maturity and shot-making abilities took over as he won the match in straight sets, 15-6, 15-7. Seeded No. 3 in the event, Yakura noted his hardest match was in the quarter-finals against British Colum- bia’s No. 2 player, Clinton Wong. After winning the first game 15-11, Yakura found himself trailing 14-11 in the sec- ond set. He was, however, able to rally to defeat Wong 17-14. In mixed doubles, Yakura paired with Tracy Wong of Newmarket and the duo eventually won silver. At the conclusion of the champion- ships, Yakura was awarded the Sports- manship Award, prestigious recogni- tion given by the officials of the tour- nament to the player who best exem- plifies true sportsmanship at all times and respect for opponents, coaches, officials and spectators. The Grade 7 student at William Dunbar Public School has played bad- minton competitively for the past five years. His first two years were spent at the Ajax-based Harwood Badminton Club under head coach Wayne King. For the past three years, he’s trained at the Mandarin Badminton Club in Markham. Ya kura says his long-term goal is to represent Canada at the Olympic Summer Games, hopefully beginning in 2012.

Rock looks for answers Ajax-Pickering senior B’s fall to Owen Sound; 0-3-1 in last four games By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — After a brilliant start, the Ajax-Pickering Rock is currently mired in a bona fide, mid-season slump. The Rock’s slide reached four games without a victory (0-3-1) on the weekend with a 10-4 loss to the top team in the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ league, the Woodsmen, in Owen Sound on Friday night. The Rock was missing its captain, Jim Veltman, and his brother John for the trip to the Bruce Peninsula, but Ajax- Pickering -- for the fourth game in a row -- was unable to mount any form of of- fensive attack. And, the losing and the lack of of- fensive output, averaging seven goals a game in its last four outings, has Rock head coach and general manager Paul St. John concerned. “We’re forgetting what it takes to win, so definitely it’s a concern,” says St. John. “We haven’t had our full lineup for the past four games, except for the Brooklin tie. And, when we don’t have our full lineup, it’s tough to win. “We started 4-0 and the guys were a little cocky, but we’ve been brought back down to reality quite quickly.” If there’s a silver lining, it’s that all three of losses have come against two of the top teams in the league, including two losses to the Wellington Aces, as well as the game with Owen Sound. To shake things up, the Rock released two players, longtime player Brad Cann and newcomer Charlie Girdler, who’s since signed on with the rival Brooklin Merchants. The team has signed To- ronto Rock tough-guy Tim O’Brien and James Hinkson, a one-time Founder’s Cup winner with the Clarington Green Gaels’ junior ‘B’ lacrosse team. Despite the winless streak, St. John is nonetheless confident the Rock can turn it around in its last six regular-season games, starting Friday night in Ennis- more against SEL Shamrocks. “We have to go back to basics. Our game is run-and-gun and we haven’t done that in the last four games. We score a lot off our transition game and we haven’t done that of late,” says St. John. To dd Hollinshead, Andrew Furlong, Mike Daley and Chris Parkin scored for Ajax-Pickering in Owen Sound. Dolphins tame Brampton Wilddogs Keep perfect gridiron record intact with 28-0 win in Pickering Sunday DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins extended its season-start- ing winning streak by taming the Brampton Wilddogs at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins improved to 3-0 on the Allstar Peewee Football League season with a solid 28-0 victory in its inaugural season in the league. The Dolphins were well prepared for the Wilddogs, executing their game plan perfectly. The home team was up 14-0 in the first half on an aer- ial attack led by quarterbacks George To urloukis and Zachary Booth. The first touchdown came on a 20-yard pass to the end zone to wide receiver Michael Robson. The second major covered 10 yards with Kyle Wasson making the catch in the end zone. The ground game took over in the second half. Running back Kareem Tu cker found a seam and ran 10 yards into the end zone for the Dol- phins’ third touchdown. Running back Dillon Campbell finished the scoring in the fourth quarter, scam- pering 10 yards for the major. Kicker Dexter Damboise connect- ed for two one-point converts and one two-point convert. The offensive output was all made possible by the excellent blocking of the offensive line made up of Ryan Colvin, Nick Shoniker, Chris Rousis, Hayden Allen, Josh Sepulveda, Chris Pertab, Jelani Pascoe, Joe Tuccitto, Ryan Ko and Wasson. The Dolphins’ defence with its speed and execution shut down and frustrated the Brampton offence. The Wild Dogs only threatened to score once after a pass-and-run play, but that hope was quickly dashed by the smothering defence. Playing defence are linemen Shawn Barriault, Devin Elms, Tristan Lagda, Kyle Debellotte and Justin Forster on the defensive line, linebackers Shane Lock, Bran- don Misseri, Owen Eccleston, Greg Farrell, Alex O’Donnell and Garrett Mole, cornerbacks Jelane Roberts and Calvin D’Costa and defensive backs Damboise and Spencer Stew- art. The Dolphins next game is Satur- day in Brantford against the unde- feated Bisons. The next home game for the Ajax-Pickering peewees is against the York Raiders at Kinsmen Park in Pickering on Sunday, June 25. Hurry in for this event! It’s All About Saving Money!

Pickering Cougars pounce for first soccer crown Under-12s down Islington in Little World Cup final PICKERING — If the Pickering Cougars boys’ under-12 rep soccer team’s performance at the Central Soccer League’s Little World Cup To urnament in Toronto is any indi- cation, England will win the World Cup of soccer in Germany. That’s because the Pickering Cougars -- which drew England as their representative country in their 11-team age group -- came out with the Little World Cup title after downing the Islington Rang- ers 3-0 with a solid defensive dis- play in the final at North York’s Esther Shiner Stadium recently. All told, the Cougars outscored their opponents by a 26-1 margin to capture their first tournament title of the season. The Cougars faced Kitchener in the semifinals. In a tough contest, with Kitchener taking the play to the Cougars, the Pickering boys still managed to score a goal in each half for a 2-0 victory. The Cougars played three quali- fying games, winning all three by wide margins. Pickering defeated Uraguay 6-1, blanked Oshawa 4-0 and trounced Milton 11-0.

The winners were, in front row from left, Tania Lukacsovics (senior), Ariana Santos (junior) and Nicholle McKenzie (junior). In the back row, from left, are Robert Bentley (senior) and Paul DePass (junior). AJAX — The Ajax Spar- tans Nokona Athletics pee- wee tier 1 rep baseball team opened its season with a bang, posting an impressive 6-1 record in May. The highlight of the month was back-to-back victories over two ‘AAA’-rated teams, the Whitby Chiefs Blue and the Pickering Red Sox. Against Whitby Chiefs Blue, Ajax’s James Doering pitched five complete in- nings, allowing only one hit while striking out 10. Hugh Hill came on in relief, pitch- ing two innings and preserv- ing the shutout as Ajax post- ed a 3-0 win. Eric Rizzo went 2-for-3 at the plate, crushing two doubles. Against the Pickering Red Sox, the Spartans showed some determination in overcoming a 5-0 first-in- ning deficit to win 9-8 in extra innings. Trailing 8-4 in the bottom of the final inning, Ajax pushed across four runs to tie the game at 8-8. In the first extra inning, Dominic Lacroix led off with a hit and Jacob Stone fol- lowed with another single. Lacroix was caught off sec- ond, giving the Red Sox the second out of the inning. Down to their last strike, Spartans’ Drew Knautz kept the inning alive by singling to right field, which brought up Colin MacFarlane, who promptly doubled to score Stone with the winning run. Steven Sattz was the win- ning pitcher in relief of Lac- roix and Andrew Packer. Ajax also posted a win over a determined Ajax Spartans tier 2 team. The Ajax tier 1 squad jumped out to a 5-0 lead, only to hang on for a 6- 5 win. Packer was the start- ing pitcher and also picked up the win. Travelling to Kingston for a doubleheader, the host Kingston Thunder handed the Spartans their only loss of the season, 8-4. Ajax won the first game 7-3. In Whitby, Ajax brought its hitting game, outscor- ing Whitby Chiefs Red 14- 1. Offensively, Wassem Patel, Cody Ferrier, Lacroix, Packer and Doering all had two hits apiece. Catcher Jeff Martin had another solid game, scoring three runs and throwing out a bas- erunner attempting to steal second. Packer and Lacroix shared pitching duties and combined to shut down the Chiefs. Ajax started the season by beating Whitby in the annu- al Mayors’ Cup game, 3-1.

The lineup for the fifth annual festival, pre- sented by the Downtown Board of Management, was recently announced. From Aug. 7 to 13, you’ll be able to hear and see the likes of the Cimarron Latin Jazz Band, which played at Thursday’s launch, Whitby’s Jack de Keyzer, Carlos del Junco, David Rotundo, Swing Shift Big Band, Heather Bambrick, Me- lissa Stylianou, Downchild Blues Band, Danny Marks, Babes in Jazzland, Colin Linden and more. “We’re really pleased with the lineup,” said producer Kerri King, of Eclipse Concerts. “We got hundreds of submissions from artists all over Canada.” Look for local musicians and artists new to the festival, she said. There are several of both categories in the event this year, she added. Headlining the free day-long Main Event at Memorial Park on Aug. 13 is Colin Linden, a Juno award winner and Grammy nominee. He’s a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer. He’s played on 300 albums and produced 60 and also finds time for a solo career in country blues. He also plays a key role with both Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. King believes this could be his first appearance in Durham. Also new to the festival is Cimarron, a Latin jazz band headed by Luis Mario Ochoa, born and raised in Cuba. He’s the son of Luis Ochoa Sr., a founding member of Trio Voces de Oro, one of Cuba’s most romantic ensembles. “These guys are amazing,” King said. “They are some of the best musicians in Canada.” Cimarron, which means free spirit, released a self-titled CD in January and also played at the festival launch. The band will be part of the main event. The Jazz Divas are back for a second year, this time at a larger venue. The ticketed event was sold out last year, with many people being turned away. This year, to avoid disappointing fans, the evening of jazz and blues with female singers will be held at the Jubilee Pavilion in Lakeview Park on Aug. 9 Heather Bambrick, a Jazz FM personality and National Jazz Award winner, will host the night. Her guests will be Liberty Silver, June Garber, Melissa Stylianou and Eliana Cuevos. King said the festival is pleased to be able to present an event devoted exclusively to female jazz and blues singers. New this year is a daylong barbecue and blues patio party at Chicago’s Diner, 926 Simcoe St. N. on Aug. 7. This ticketed event, on the McLaugh- lin Day holiday, will feature del Junco, Juno award winner de Keyzer, Rotundo, Aaron Griggs and George Olliver, another Durham musician. King said the festival will also have a band at Parkwood Estate for its McLaughlin day festivi- ties, which mark the start of the jazz fest. Making a return visit to the festival is the Downchild Blues Band, which played the first Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival. The band will be playing a ticketed event at Sikorski Hall on Stevenson Road North on Aug. 11. A special guest that night will be Danny Marks, a holder of the Toronto Blues Society’s Blues With A Feeling award for lifetime achievement. Local musicians include de Keyzer, who also produces CDs for other artists, Mood Swing, a swing band made up of parents, teachers and others from Durham, and a repeat from last year, and Swing Shift, a Durham-based big band that’s played the festival before. Since the first festival, the annual event has grown, with more than 10,000 people from Dur- ham and beyond expected to attend this year. The festival has also expanded beyond the downtown, now stretching to Lakeview Park for the Jazz Divas and Stevenson Road for the Downchild Blues Band.

The choir is from Kampala, Uganda and comprised entirely of AIDS or- phans and orphans from rebel insur- gencies. The free concert is at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican Church, 882 Kingston Rd. (east of Whites Road and west of Dixie Road). A freewill offering will be taken following the concert.

The goal is to equip children with the essential moral values and life skills so they can make a significant and lasting impact on the future of their country. Jamaican play looks at youth choices AJAX — A Jamaican play makes its Durham debut Saturday and proves that choices and the difficulty young people can have in making them, are universal. ‘Wipe That Smile’ by Kay Osbourne is at the J. Clarke/Notre Dame com- munity theatre June 17 at 8 p.m. “It connects with the issues of the day relating to problems that the youth are having with the choices they make,” says Ajacian Audrey Forbes, who with her husband, Oli- ver, is promoting the play. “It’s about the choices young peo- ple make and it’s also quite funny.” The play is set in a poor urban area in Jamaica, where people are drawn by the lure of jobs, and introduces the audience to a family trying to make ends meet. It shows the informal, under- ground economy in the community and the role drugs play in it and all impoverished communities. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Tickets are available in Ajax at Crys-Lee West Indian Market, 145 Kingston Rd. (just east of Harwood); Beryl’s Pepper Pot, 487 Westney Rd. S. Unit 17; and Afro World Beau- ty Supplies, 35 Harwood Ave. S. In Pickering, tickets are available at Nicey’s West Indian Store, Pickering, 1794 Liverpool Rd., just north of Hwy. 401.

The Whitby resident will be per- forming a dinner show on June 17 at the Piano Cafe in Port Perry, along with Peter Pryce and Bruce Carmi- chael. Singin’ a Bit of Blues and Then Some is the name of the shows which will feature traditional blues accom- panied by acoustic guitar. “It’s going to be traditional music,” Whaley said of the show. “This is something I’d like to do a little bit more of.” Most of the music will be written by Whaley, who says she likes to write and sing blues, including coun- try blues and jazz blues. Words and rhythms are important to her. “My tunes are pretty sassy,” she said, adding she enjoys playing with words. She’ll also perform some familiar songs, pieces people can sing along to, she said. She’ll also be telling the stories behind the songs. Pryce, another Whitby resident, and Carmichael, of Toronto, play in a retro rock band. Whaley performs regularly in schools, concerts, at festivals and conducts songwriting and story- telling workshops for children and adults throughout the GTA. She’s hoping to eventually record a CD for adults to enjoy. She’s already released a CD for families. This summer, she’ll be performing at events in Ajax, Oshawa, Toronto, Whitby and at the summer Stories for a Summer Night put on by Port Perry’s Dianne Chandler at the Piano Cafe. The June 17 show starts with din- ner at 6:30 p.m., followed by the show at 8 p.m. The cost for both is $35 per person. Reservations are recom- mended. Call 905-982-0707.
