Pickering parties for Canada Day PICKERING — Pickering is throwing one big birthday bash for Canada on July 1 at Kinsmen Park. Pickering’s annual Canada Day party of free family entertainment and activi- ties begins at noon and ends after dusk with the fireworks display. The children’s area is open from noon until 4:30 p.m., featuring classic enter- tainment such as face painting, penny carnival games, crafts and an inflatable alley featuring Dora the Explorer. But it also has several new components. Body found in truck behind Pickering store By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING — A trucker found mur- dered outside a Pickering Wal-Mart store was shot, police say. Durham Regional Police homicide detectives are appealing to the public for information as they try to trace the movements of Donald James Woods, whose body was discovered last Friday morning in his truck behind the Brock Road store. An autopsy conducted Saturday morning in Toronto confirmed Mr. Woods, 35, was killed by gun fire. He is Durham Region’s third homicide victim of 2006. Police say his truck was seen parked in the same spot at least 24 hours be- fore a concerned citizen called to report the suspi- cious vehicle. Mr. Woods, 35, of Island Lane in Athens, Ont., near Brockville, was last seen in the parking lot of a Brockville A&P store between 9 and 9:30 p.m. June 21, police said. He was headed west with a load of meat and was expected to pull over at the Truck Stop before continuing his run to the Toronto area. The load of meat, destined for delivery north of Toronto, was missing from the trailer when police examined the scene Friday morning. Police say Mr. Woods’s truck, a white 2006 Volvo tractor hauling a silver tri- axle transport trailer with the logo “AK Brothers Transport” on the side, was seen behind the Wal-Mart store around 8 a.m. Thursday by a citizen who took note of it. Police were called in around 8 a.m. Friday. Police swarmed the area throughout Durham officers honour 35 people for helping them do their job By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — With the left side of his pressed shirt slightly untucked, six-year- old Rick McLean shyly stepped in front of Durham’s community leaders, cam- eras and 100 onlookers. Rick, Whitby’s littlest hero, was at Dur- ham council on June 21 to accept an award from Durham Regional Police. The plaque, as large as his torso, rec- ognizes Rick’s demonstration of excep- tional courage and calmness in a scary situation. “O n June 13, 2005 then five-year-old Rick’s mother, Lisa, passed out from a medical condition on the kitchen floor,” Deputy Chief Mike Ewles said. “Rick called police for assistance, calmly relay- ing important information to officers.” Rick then waited outside and waved to officers so they would know where to go and then directed paramedics. Rick was among 35 citizens honoured for lending local police a helping hand with arrests and investigations in 19 sep- arate incidents from the past year. Following the ceremony, Rick said it was a special experience. “I’m going to show it to the kids at my school,” he said. Also recognized at the ceremony were eight citizens from Pickering who helped protect a woman whose husband came to her workplace and began stabbing her while she hid under her desk. “Their quick actions that day helped save the life of the victim and prevented the suspect from harming anyone else,” Deputy Chief Ewles said. Still no cause in weekend blaze that damaged portapac classrooms PICKERING — A cause may never be determined in a weekend fire that brought an early end to the year for Pickering’s Vaughan Willard Public School. A handful of students arrived at the Dixie Road school Monday morning to learn of the fire on Sunday in a porta- pac of primary classrooms. The Dur- ham District School Board announced Monday classes would not resume this week, the last in the school year. “Not a positive way to end the school year,” said Principal Scott Van Driel, noting no one was hurt. Mr. Van Driel was contacted at his home by staff Sunday night when the fire broke out. He noted Monday it was still early, but he was hopeful a lot of the equip- ment inside could be saved. Pickering Fire Services remained on Tu esday, while Vaughan Willard teach- ers worked out of Pine Ridge Secondary School. “Right now we’re saying (the cause) is undetermined and we’re not sure if we’ll find a cause or not,” said Pickering Fire Services Chief Bill Douglas. The school went ahead with its Grade 8 graduation yesterday (June 27) at Pine Ridge, and the dance was held there instead of at Vaughan Willard. In a press release Monday, the board announced student report cards will be available for pickup tomorrow (Thurs- day) from noon to 4 p.m. in the portable at the school. Pickering Fire Captain Dominic Browne said it was “heavy-duty work” finding and extinguishing the fire. Fire- fighters responded at 5:47 p.m. to the rear of the school where the portapac is attached to the main building. Capt. Browne said the fire began underneath Pickering eight among super citizen crime fighters ✦ See Loss, Page A4 ✦ See Fireworks, Page A4 [ Briefly ] Fourth murder suspect arrested PICKERING — A f ourth suspect in the murder of a man whose remains were found last year in rural Pickering is now in police custody. Robert (Bobby) Quinn, 26, surrendered to police in British Columbia Monday. Durham homicide cops are on their way to Nelson, B.C., where the man is being held, to charge him with second-degree murder. Mr. Quinn, formerly of Kes- wick, is one of four men with ties to the Bandidos biker gang ac- cused of beating Shawn Douse, a 35-year-old father of two, to death in a Keswick house last December. Police said the attack arose from a dispute over drugs. Mr. Douse’s battered remains were found last December in a f ield just east of the York-Durham line. Police believe he was killed in the Keswick home of Bandidos prospect Jamie Flanz, who was one of eight members or associ- ates of the outlaw gang slaugh- tered last April near London. Mr. Douse’s murder was not related to those slayings, police say. Three other men -- Cameron Acorn, Pierre Aragon and Ran- dolph Brown -- have also been charged with Mr. Douse’s murder . Pickering clerk threatened PICKERING — A clerk was threatened with a knife during a convenience store robbery Sun- day night in Pickering, police said. Tw o men burst into the Mac’s store at Liverpool and Kingston roads around 7:45 p.m. and held a knife to the 54-year-old em- ployee’s stomach, Durham police said. The suspects took the man’s wallet and emptied the till of cash before taking off. The clerk wasn’t hurt. Police are seeking two sus- pects.

Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, chairman of the Benchmarking Sustainability Standards Committee, made a presentation at the June 19 coun- cil meeting updating the work that’s been done on the initiative in a few months. “When you look at the short time frame and what’s been ac- complished, it speaks volumes of our staff and the team that’s been involved,” said Coun. Brenner. Council passed a motion last fall to create the benchmarking program and, starting in January, the committee worked on achiev- ing its four Phase 1 objectives: to educate and inform the public about the benefits of sustainable practices; engage key stakehold- ers from all sectors in practical discussion on the importance of sustainable practices; facilitate feedback from the public on its priorities; and ensure concrete and practical results through Phase 1, while setting the foun- dation to set benchmarking and to grow the process. Coun. Brenner said consulta- tion began at the end of Febru- ary with a series of three town halls held throughout Pickering, followed by the creation of a tar- geted working group in April and Sustainable Pickering day in May. He said hundreds of people have been involved through the vari- ous public events, which “gives clear consensus that the City is taking the right approach.” The key issues raised by the community during the consul- tation process were energy, ag- riculture, employment, neigh- bourhood and homes, educa- tion, awareness and accessibil- ity, local identity, and transit and transportation. A framework of five objectives has been devel- oped to capture the various areas of interest: healthy environment; healthy society; health economy; responsible development; and responsible consumption. The next steps for Sustainable Pickering include developing targets and indicators, pursuing partnerships, continuing to en- gage the community, staff orien- tation and education, and con- tinuing to update the website at www.sustainablepickering.com “The journey continues into the future; it doesn’t stop to- night,” Coun. Brenner said.

While it means different things to different people, one thing that unites us is a national pride that can be seen across the nation and beyond. Our pride and our tolerance of others have made us friends around the world. We all celebrate being Canadian in different ways, but one way we celebrate is by getting together with friends, families, neighbours and even strangers on July 1 to eat, drink and put our eyes to the skies for the colourful fi reworks shows that take place across the country. Celebrating Canada Day in Pickering is no different, and for most, a staple and perfect way to end an already fun-fi lled day is by gathering up the family and heading down to Kinsmen Park to enjoy live entertainment by the region’s talented artists, as well as the city’s annual fi reworks show. The live music goes from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday July 1, at Kinsmen Park off Sandy Beach Road South, with the lightshow starting shortly after. You could also pack up the kids and family for a fun-fi lled day at the Pickering Lakefront or visit Rotary Park in Ajax for games activities and more. Events are also being held at the Oshawa’s Lakeview Park with fi reworks and activities. Another aspect of our society to celebrate is our multiculturalism. That truly is something that defi nes us as Canadians. This Canada Day will be even more special for the new citizens being sworn in in the City of Pickering. Its newly acquired citizenship court will be held at the Pickering Civic Complex on the morning of July 1. Echoing the sentiments of Mayor Dave Ryan, who has attended swearing in ceremonies in other cities, nothing could bring you more national pride than seeing a fi ve-year-old new Canadian clutching his Canadian fl ag with eyes full of hope and wonder. No matter how long you have been Canadian, it’s worth celebrating the day our country became a nation.

Roughly six units responded and fire- fighters were on scene until approxi- mately midnight. The portapac sustained extensive damage while the school building itself suffered “lots of smoke damage.” Capt. Browne did not have a damage esti- mate. Mark Joel, the school board’s Pickering schools superintendent, said firefighters were able to save a lot of school resources. “There is some dam- age and there is some loss, but the firefighters did a great job of containing it and controlling the loss, keeping it to a minimum,” said Mr. Joel. He added the loss of teacher resourc- es also looks minimal. “A nything that is lost, hopefully we’ll be able to photocopy or reproduce so that they’ll have copies of what they need again,” said Mr. Joel. A former student at the school, Jes- sica Wiggins, walked by Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. “I noticed the fire trucks, got to the end of the driveway and then noticed the windows were blown out,” said Ms. Wiggins on Monday morning. ✦ Loss from page A1 From Scugog, four citizens were rec- ognized for their assistance during a boating incident on Oct. 8, 2005.

The retiring president of Durham College and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology (UOIT), Dr. Polonsky made a farewell presentation to Durham council on June 21. “I am pretty sure UOIT wouldn’t have happened without your drive and com- mitment,” Chairman Roger Anderson said. “Job well done.” Dr. Polonsky, who retires this month, said he attended the regional council meeting to say ‘thank you’ to councillors and to offer them a status report on UOIT. “I remind you as I leave the chair in eight days, the journey is not over. Hope- fully it never will be,” he said. Although he was saying goodbye as president, Dr. Polonsky said he was not saying goodbye to Durham, as he and his wife have decided to remain here. Trip funding report DURHAM —A report on the funding of a May delegation to Europe to investi- gate energy-from-waste facilities came to Durham council on June 21. On May 24, the Region’s finance and administration committee requested that staff prepare a report on the funding for the trip after questions were raised. The report stated the trip by regional council members was a necessary activi- ty for which the funding was incorporated in the approved 2006 solid waste budget and was within the budget management policy. Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson made a motion to enact a policy requiring that delegations be approved by council. “We shouldn’t be hiding it,” Coun. Nicholson said. But not all agreed the trip was hid- den. “This was not done behind closed doors,” said works committee chairman Marcel Brunelle. “Everyone on council knew or should have known.” Only three councillors voted in favour of the motion and it was lost. Not enough jobs in Province’s plan DURHAM — The provincial Places to Grow report forecast one job for every three Durham residents, a plan that didn’t sit well with regional council- lors. “We gain nothing with this,” Uxbridge Mayor Gerri-Lynn O’Connor said. “In fact, we lose, we become an elitist community only rich people can live in.” The Region of Durham has stated its opposition to the provincial plan. “You should be able to buy here, live here, grow up here and work here,” Chairman Roger Anderson said. Disappointed with decorum DURHAM — Gerri-Lynn O’Connor wants more respect amongst regional councillors. “I am getting a little concerned about the decorum in this council,” the mayor of Uxbridge said. She shared her observations of the conduct of regional council members while at the transit commission meeting on June 21. “We can all have a difference of opin- ion but we should respect that,” Mayor O’Connor said. “We are looking more and more like those clowns in Ottawa.” Durham in brief JUNE 28, 2006 DURHAM -- This year’s batch of stu- dent trustees is saying farewell. With the end of the school year also comes the end of the term for Durham District School Board student trustees. Trustees and staff at the June 19 board meeting thanked the three youth for their commitment to the position. “You three are certainly an indicator of the excellence we’ve had,” said board chairman Michael Barrett. “We thank you for your leadership.” This year’s student trustees, Kiyoko Fujimura, Hayley Peglar and Leandra Grant are being replaced by Alicia Ali of Sinclair Secondary in Whitby, Jessica Forrest of Henry Street High in Whitby and Rachel Noble from Port Perry High. Public board says goodbye to student trustees PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ JUNE 28, 2006A/P I t’s funny, but if you ask little children where they would like to go if they could time travel, most of them will say ‘the future.’ Pose the same question to most adults and they’re likely to say somewhere in the past. Why is that? I am a person who firmly believes that we are getting better, albeit very slowly, as a species, but I too, if I’m being honest, would have to answer that I’d like to go back in time. The future, for some reason, doesn’t excite me that much. It seems that at some point in most of our lives, some- thing changes. Our optimism fades? Maybe it’s simply that as we grow and take on more responsibility and worry and stress, the simpler world of our childhood becomes more appealing. In my romantic naiveté, I find myself longing to live back in the days when an in- dividual could still opt out of society if he or she chose to. When there were still un- known frontiers in this world and a person could freely live in a place where fresh air, clean water and nutritious food were in abundance. The irony is that the fu- ture I hope for will include all of those things and more. And the frontiers will exist on other planets, other galaxies. But the future, for all the faith I may put in it, is still a question mark. The past is tangible. I know that if I go back to Ontario in the early 19th cen- tury I will find homesteads and horses and hard work. I will also, of course, find in- fluenza, polio and rampant infant mortality. I might very well be a few inches shorter too, gout-riddled and, in all likelihood, dead at my cur- rent age of 46. Cripes, there’s always a catch isn’t there? I think that ‘catch’ though is where the truth lies. When I think of living in the past I do so because I yearn for peace, simplicity and a slower, more mean- ingful lifestyle. All of these things can be mine in the year 2006, if I am, like the 19th century pioneer, willing to work at them. And, just like his farm was the fruit of his labours, my community, my city, my country, my world can now be the fruit of mine. The horse and the plough and the bucksaw have been replaced by the Internet, the silicon chip and digital tech- nology. What kind of crops do we want to sew? What kind of a future do we want? I, with my computer and fax and cell phone, have more power than ever before in the history of mankind to meaningfully shape the world around me. Science and medicine have allowed me to live twice as long as I might have a mere 100 years ago. Twice as much opportunity to make things better. Perhaps the main reason that so many of us prefer the past to the future is that we wrongfully feel that the fu- ture is a mystery, that we have no control over it. But if we don’t decide what our future will bring, who will? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

S obering message for boat operators Drinking and captaining will cost you Whether you ride on wheels or a keel, drinking and driving is a recipe for disaster. So, we welcome the new Ontario law that basically extends the Highway Traffic Act from the road to the water, forcing boat op- erators to obey the same rules as their four-wheel counterparts. In a flurry of activity as the Ontario legislature wrapped up its busi- ness for the summer break, Liberal backbencher David Zimmer’s private member’s bill was passed into law last week. It means that police can issue an immediate, 12-hour driver’s licence suspension to anyone operating a boat under the influence of alcohol. A person charged with boating while intoxicated will have his driver’s license suspended for 90 days. A first conviction means a minimum, year- long licence suspension, and a second results in three years without a licence. Mr. Zimmer stressed the importance of getting the law passed be- fore the summer boating season kicked into high gear, and for good reason. Many boaters, whether they’re going fishing for a few hours or just out for a lazy cruise, think nothing of dropping a 12-pack of beer in the boat. They reason that it isn’t a serious offence, maybe none at all, to have a few drinks on the water. Certainly not as serious as drinking and driving a motor vehicle. But they’re dead wrong. Forty per cent of boating accidents in Ontario involve alcohol. Never mind the numerous near-misses and accidents that aren’t reported. The dangers posed by an impaired boater are many. Even with no other crafts on the lake, the boater and his passengers are in danger if he or she is too impaired to recognize where they’re going, if the water is shallow and rocky ahead, if there are submerged logs, etc. An impaired boater is less likely to be vigilant looking for swimmers in the water. A drinking boater is also more likely to take risks, going on the water at night and driving faster, for example. Boats, like cars and trucks, are vehicles -- it’s that simple. The act of driving any of them is easy in itself, and therein lies the danger of complacency setting in. But it’s the unexpected that drivers have to be prepared for, and an impaired driver reacts more slowly than a sober one, putting himself and others at risk. Summer is a time when Ontarians heed the call of cottage country to boat on our waters. It is the highlight of the year for many, a time to recharge our batteries, leaving work and the city behind. Enjoy it, but don’t put yourself and others at risk of injury and even death.

To tal votes: 234 No: 82.1 % Yes : 17.9 % LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fireworks OK two weekends a year To the editor: Re: Fireworks disturb people, animals, Chris MacDonald let- ter, May 28. I can’t see where this per- son is coming from. We have had the privilege of buying and enjoying fireworks for years. Everyone knows and should expect this activity on the long weekends in May and July. I do agree there are some people lighting them off at ri- diculous hours but to take it as far as his opinion is sad. To go as far as saying that the fireworks remind an elderly woman of Second World War bombing is absurd. How could you even compare the two? Bombs are a hundred times louder than fireworks. I was working during the long weekend and had no problem sleeping. I have a dog and a year-and-a-half old daughter and they were fine. If you don’t like these two weekends out of the 52 then plan ahead and buy earplugs for yourself and grandma, get some mild sedative from the vet for your dog and you will all sleep a little better. Paul Pagett Oshawa Education ministers have ‘ignored’ Durham To the editor: Re: ‘Province and school boards need to talk’, June 21. Yo u have made the sugges- tion that the school boards “need to sit down with the pro- vincial decision-makers and spell out exactly what their is- sues are and offer solutions”. The Durham District School Board could not agree more. It is, however, difficult to sit with decision-makers who do not wish to meet. The Durham board has requested meetings with the minister of education on numerous occasions over the past three years and has been routinely ignored. We have already extended an invi- tation to the new minister, San- dra Pupatello, and are awaiting a response. A visit by any min- ister of education to the board would be the first in four years. The Durham board has more than 70,000 full-time students, is the fifth-largest board in our province and is routinely ig- nored by ministers of educa- tion. We will put our faith in the new minister. The board has written numerous posi- tion papers to the minister of education outlining the issues we are facing. At an Ontario Public School Boards’ Associa- tion (OPSBA) conference this month, we again outlined the issues that ministry inaction is having on our community. The minister acknowledged the lack of action on critical policies. The funding of new schools is only one of many critical issues that our board faces. I would speculate that the min- ister is all too well aware of the concerns facing our board. The board has been diligent in representing the pressing needs of our communities to the “provincial decision-mak- ers.” To suggest otherwise is to undermine the transparency of our needs, and the passion for which all trustees represent the needs of our Durham students and community.

Fireworks Safety The safest way to enjoy fireworks while celebrating Canada Day is to attend the public display at Kinsmen Park. Family fireworks should only be used in clear areas away from other struc- tures and dry vegetation. Pickering Fire Services offers the following family fireworks safety tips: • Purchase your fireworks from a reliable source. • Always read and follow the label directions. •Fireworks should only be handled by responsible adults – never allow children to handle or light them. •Use outdoors only. Choose an open area for the display that is free of trees, power lines, buildings, cars or any other obstructions. • Always have water handy (a garden hose or bucket). • Never experiment or make your own fireworks. •Store them away from children. All fireworks, including spar- klers, should be kept in a cool, dry, secure location to which young children do not have access both before and after the display. •Designate one adult to be in charge. They should light only one firework at a time. Wear eye protection, gloves and non- flammable clothing during the show. •Never re-light a “dud” firework (wait 30 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water). •Dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water over- night and then disposing of them in your trashcan. • Never throw or point fireworks at other people. •City of Pickering By-law 5495/99 prohibits the ignition, discharge or set-off of any firecrackers, rockets or other fireworks in any City park. Contact Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about fireworks or fire safety.

But it didn’t take long for Nancy and John Gutsell of Ajax to discover that they were far better off with Superior Bath Reno, located at 31 Barr Road, Unit #4, Ajax, Ontario. “Big is defi nitely not better,” notes John. “We went into one outlet and couldn’t fi nd anyone to help,” remembers John. “Even when we did fi nd someone, they didn’t appear particularly interested in our project or it was clear the company was more interested in doing kitchen renovations.” Late start dates and the demand for a $500 deposit were two more sour notes. Then the Gutsells found Superior Bath Reno. “They were polite and took the time to listen to what we needed,” remembers John. “We were also very impressed with the showroom. You could see in one place all the different bathroom designs.” Another big plus was the responsiveness of Superior’s president, Joe Beninato. “He understood what we wanted and took the time to visit our home before the job started,” notes John. “That impressed us.” The complete bathroom makeover, involving the replacement of the toilet, tub, tiling, sink, counter, fl ooring and electrical, was completed on time, on budget and to the complete satisfaction of the Gutsells. “The workmanship looks excellent,” adds John. The Gutsell’s experience with big box stores and chain outlets is all too common, notes Joe. “You can easily get lost or end up with an unmotivated junior person, and call backs can be a nightmare because you have to go through a middleman (the retailer).” Superior Bath Reno, in contrast, backs its work with an industry-leading, fi ve- year installation warranty and only employs proven installers with workman’s compensation and $2,000,000 liability insurance. “The job is not done until the customer is completely satisfi ed,” explains Joe.

Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons has been successfully repairing leaking basements for over 30 years and although he says “I’m still learning,” he estimates he’s been in close to 15,000 homes and seen virtually every possible leaking situation one can imagine. “Basically the amount of years I’ve been in this business has forced me to develop hundreds of different techniques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encountered,” says Crawford. He prides his company on fast, neat and effi cient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Gordon adds “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremly effi cient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” “Homeowners should invest in their foundations,” Gordons says “water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and you could possibly save yourself a fortune.” “No job is too big or small” he says, adding he will promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.

The Ajax resident sparked the Cana- dians in the third quarter, hitting with her outside shot. In the middle of the quarter, the 6-foot-1 guard followed up a three-pointer with a put-back and two free-throws to spark the Ca- nadian offence and help the team open a 53-42 ad- vantage after three quarters. In the end, Canada scored a 64-47 victory, with Keane contributing 16 points. Canada also defeated Brazil 65-46 and dropped an 81-69 decision to the U.S. The team’s next action will be at FIBA America’s World Championship Qualifier tournament from June 28 to July 2, also in Colorado Springs. Joseph strong, but juniors drop two PICKERING — Despite Pickering’s Devoe Joseph lighting up the score- board, Canada’s junior men’s basketball team dropped its final two contests at the Global Games in Dallas. In their final game, the Canadians suffered a 84-82 loss to the Africa All- stars. The loss dropped Canada to a 1-3 record at the exhibition tourna- ment where they played against older teams. The Canadians also suffered a 57-53 defeat to the Ukraine. Against Af- rica, Canada led 60-54 after three quarters, how- ever turnovers in the fourth caused Canada to lose the lead. Joseph, who scored a game-high 22 points for Canada, notes despite a solid work ethic, the Canadians weren’t able to pull it out. “We played hard throughout the game,” commented Joseph. “But in the fourth quarter we allowed Africa’s pres- sure to get the best of us.” The Pickering High School guard added, “This tournament has allowed us to learn the quality and intensity of play needed at the international level and how solid our execution needs to be at both ends of the floor.” Meanwhile, in the loss to Ukraine, Canada held a lead in the fourth quarter, but the Ukrainians hit some big shots down the stretch. Joseph was one of two Canadians to score in double digits, with 13. Joseph is one of two Pickering play- ers on the Canadian junior men’ roster. He’s joined by fellow guard Juevol Myles, who played his high school ball at West Hill Collegiate in Scarborough. Canada now travels to San Antonio for the Under 18 FIBA America World Championship Qualification Tournament, June 28 to July 2. Canada has been placed in pool ‘B’ for the qualification championship and will play preliminary- round games against Puerto Rico (June 28), Bahamas (June 29) and Argentina (June 30).

Pickering goalie a Senator Daniels set to attend seven-day camp in Ottawa; expects to land back with junior team in Saginaw this season By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Ryan Daniels is jus- tifiably anxious to check out his new hockey home. The Pickering resident and one- time member of the Pickering Pan- thers tier 2 junior ‘A’ squad is heading to Ottawa today for a seven-day ori- entation session at Scotiabank Place, where he’ll meet Senators’ brass and undergo on- and off-ice training ses- sions along with other Ottawa draft choices plucked from the annual Na- tional Hockey League Entry Draft in Vancouver last weekend. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound goalten- der with the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League was chosen in the fifth round, 151st overall. Daniels, who turned 18 earlier this month, felt mixed emotions moments after hearing his name, mildly disap- pointed at not having been drafted a few rounds higher, but nonetheless pleased to be part of the Senators organization. Shortly after his name was called, Senators general manag- er John Muckler placed a congratula- tory call to the Daniels home. “Initially, you’re kind of sitting there and then it hits you. At the same time as having an overwhelm- ing sense of excitement, on the other hand I felt I could have gone a bit higher. I’ve heard so many people say (Ottawa’s) a first-class organization that knows how to develop prospects and there’s not a lot of goaltending depth. Right now I couldn’t be hap- pier for a place to go and it’s close to home, too.” Daniels was told he could be draft- ed anywhere from the third to the fifth rounds. He assessed that a high ankle sprain suffered last season with Saginaw caused his stock to dip slightly as it left some general man- agers wondering if the injury was lingering. “I was hoping to be drafted more like the third or fourth round, but (going in the fifth) wasn’t unexpect- ed. If a team likes you, it’s going to take you and there’s not much you can do about it. Once it happens, you have to make something of the op- portunity,” he says. Daniels is happy to report that he’s made a full recovery from the ankle injury and has experienced no pain in his last couple of on-ice workouts. “I worked out hard and skated hard for the past two or three times on the ice and I haven’t had any pain, so I think it’s fully healed,” he says. Although he intends to put his best foot forward at the Senators’ training camp, he’s under no illusions that he’ll be anywhere other than back with the Spirit for a third year when the OHL season rolls around. At Ot- tawa training camp, he’ll be in a pool of Senators’ goaltending prospects that includes University of Wiscon- sin goaltender Brian Elliott and Jeff Glass, who played with Charlotte in the East Coast Hockey League last season. “They have some good guys in the system. I intend to try out and I hope they’ll keep me there, but I realisti- cally expect to return to Saginaw and be their No. 1 goalie there and play the bulk of the games,” he says. Last season in Saginaw, after re- covering from the ankle sprain, Dan- iels saw little action down the stretch and into the playoffs as most of the workload fell to overage netminder Francois Thuot. Prior to the injury, however, Daniels effectively split the netminding duties, playing 26 games and earning a spot in the Canadian Hockey League’s prospects game. Playing for Team Orr, he didn’t allow a goal in 27 minutes of work, despite being ill with food poisoning. Daniels is hopeful that next season he can seize the No. 1 netminding job in Saginaw and play a significant role. “The (Saginaw) coaches have told me I’m the guy and they have all the confidence in me to get the job done. I want to get in there and play as much as I can, but I know I have to earn that.” Daniels wasn’t the only former Panther to be picked in the NHL draft. Peter Aston, who played for the Panthers in 2002-03 and has since played for Peterborough Petes and Windsor Spitfires, was chosen by the Florida Panthers in the sixth round. Sun, sand and top-flight volleyball at pro tournament By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A who’s who of Canadian men’s beach volleyball were in Pickering Saturday for one of the premier events on the summer schedule. The Solstice Sport Pro Tournament attracted six men’s teams to a sun- drenched Solstice Beach courts at Diana, Princess of Wales Park on Sat- urday. Included in the tournament were John Child of Toronto, an eight- time national champion who’s rep- resented Canada at three Olympic Games and was a bronze medallist in Atlanta in 1996, and Jody Holden, also of Toronto, an Olympian in 2000 and a 1999 Pan-American Games champ. Pickering native Mike Slean, one half of the partnership that’s put to- gether Solstice Sport, notes the tour- nament is a significant one on the Canadian beach volleyball calendar, second only to the national champi- onship. “All of these teams will be at na- tionals,” says Slean, a former national player who teamed with business as- sociate Mark Reilly for the tourna- ment. Holden, who retired from the sport a year ago after 12 seasons, entered the event with playing partner Jason Trepanier of Toronto for a fun, al- beit competitive day on the courts. Exhausted after a long and arduous quarter-final match against Slean and Reilly, the former Olympian de- clared he had a good time. “I thought it would be fun. I haven’t played in a year, but I love the sport. I don’t train or practise for it any more, so I’m a little rough around the edges.” Holden, who grew up playing on the courts in the Beaches area of To- ronto at Ashbridges Bay, was compli- mentary of the tournament and the courts, even though he and Trepa- nier were dispatched to the sidelines after losing to Slean and Reilly. “The facilities are five-star. Hats off to Mike Slean and Mark Reilly. It’s a premier outdoor facility,” says Holden, who represented Canada at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, Australia where he and part- ner Conrad Leinemann, of Kelowna, B.C., finished ninth. “It’s hard to find quality sand and these courts are fortunate to have deep, soft sand.” In the end, neither of the Olympi- ans survived to the final. Child and partner Steve Delaney of Mississauga were ousted in the semifinal by Al- lain Arseneau of New Brunswick and Matt Zbyszewski of Toronto. In the championship final, Arse- neau and Zbyszewski defeated Chris- tian Redmann and Anton Hauser 2-0 in sets.

And, following Saturday night’s se- nior ‘B’ lacrosse game between the Rock and the visiting St. Clair (Sar- nia) Storm, the affable first-year Rock ballstopper known as ‘Paddy’ had eyebrows raised and chins wagging with one play in particular at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Campbell, who also plies his trade for the National Lacrosse League’s Edmonton Rush, seized the moment in an otherwise nondescript game that the Rock had well in hand, 7- 2, against a short-handed St. Clair squad that resides at the bottom of the seven-team league. With 9:42 remaining in the third period, Camp- bell corralled a rebound in the crease and, see- ing an opening up the middle of the floor, raced toward the op- posite goal and, despite the weight of the goaltender’s gear, managed to outrace one St. Clair defender to get a shot on net. When the shot sailed wide over the right shoulder of Storm goalten- der Ryan Dryburgh, Campbell raced back to his own net, beating the St. Clair players into the zone before they could set up a shot on the empty goal. For Campbell, he notes simply that with St. Clair playing a man short he saw a scoring opportunity and took a chance. “I had an opening and I knew they were a man down, so I only had to get by four instead of five players,” explains Campbell. “I would have liked to get one after a run like that. If it was a two-goal game, I wouldn’t have tried it.” Saturday’s near-goal wouldn’t have been the first time Campbell has scored, a rare occurrence for a lacrosse goaltender. Several years ago, while playing for Burlington in senior ‘B’ lacrosse, he potted a goal. And, while playing at the junior ‘A’ level, he also put one in the back of the net. Rock head coach Paul St. John noted following the game that he be- lieved Campbell would score on the play. He also noted that, luckily, St. Clair was called for a penalty shortly after the goalie’s foray up the floor. It gave Campbell a chance to recuper- ate. “He was gassed and we would have had to call a timeout, so I was glad they took a penalty,” says St. John. The Rock ended up routing the struggling Storm 10-2, but the out- come was in doubt up until the third period. After playing to a 1-1 draw after the first period, and holding a tenuous 4-2 lead after the middle frame, the Rock blew it wide open in the third. The victory was the Rocks’ third in a row and followed a close 11- 10 decision over the Ennismore SEL Shamrocks at the recreation complex on Friday night. The common denominator in both victories was the Rock’s ability to pick up the pace late. That was mostly ap- parent in Friday’s come-from-behind victory. Trailing by two goals with just more than six minutes to go, the Rock roared back with three goals, includ- ing the winner by John Veltman. Saturday’s win over St. Clair closed out the season series between the two teams, with the Rock winning both encounters. Ajax-Pickering won the first meeting 20-5 in Sarnia on May 14. While St. Clair showed up with only 13 runners, the Rock were simi- larly depleted, as they were without stalwarts Jim Veltman, Tony Hender- son and Chris Parkin for both week- end tilts. Although the Rock had been strug- gling to score goals prior to the week- end, the offence broke out in a major way, scoring an aggregate 21 goals in the two wins. The Rock return to the floor on Friday when they host the Brooklin Merchants at the recreation com- plex. The game starts at 8:30 p.m. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Gunning for the ball AJAX — Christian Lee-Him of the Ajax Gunners under-13 premiere soccer team battles a Wexford Heat player for possession of the ball during Central Soccer League action at the Ajax Community Centre Monday night.

The story is set in a community that was crudely constructed from a munitions plant in Scarborough. The plant was turned into subsi- dized housing after the war. Mr. Evans wrote the book to remember his first love, Peggy. The Goldfinch was their favou- rite bird. “A symbol of happiness,” he said. “It’s a story to be told... An extraordinary ex- perience in my youth,” he says. The novel is based on the author’s life while he, Peggy and their families lived in Geco. Geco is the shortened name for the General Engineering Company, which owned the muni- tions plant. ‘Corky, Peggy and the Goldfinch’ is a rewrite of his first novel, ‘Goldfinches of Geco’. But the book is more than a romance novel. It sheds light on a little-known aspect of Cana- dian history. “Lots of people don’t know about Geco, and they should,” said Mr. Evans. “There should be a plaque somewhere on the grounds of Geco. And a big plaque for the contributions people made, especially women, to the Second World War, to the allied efforts overseas.” Scarborough’s archivist, Rick Scofield, said as far as he’s aware, Mr. Evans’ book is the only documented information about Geco during the time it was used as subsidized housing. “I’ve perpetualized Geco in my book,” Mr. Evans said. A retired commercial renovator, Mr. Evans remains active at 69 years old. He is an award-winning professional pho- tographer who enjoys playing bridge, sequence ballroom dancing and playing the piano. He has been playing table tennis since he was 13 and continues to play five days per week. In fact, he is a member of five table tennis clubs in Pickering and Oshawa. Mr. Evans also volunteers as an English in- structor in Ajax. He is now working on another novel. “I live a full life. I’m busy. You have to keep active. When you stop, you die. Keep moving, that’s the trick,” he said. ‘Corky, Peggy and the Goldfinch’ is available on the Internet at Chapters.Indigo.ca. It will also be available at Chapters book- stores. Mr. Evans will be at the Chapters bookstore in Ajax on Sunday, July 15, to sign copies of the book. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Local author Warren Evans did a total rewrite of his earlier book and has recently released ‘Corky, Peggy and the Goldfinch,’ based on his youth following the Second World War.

Ajax, Pickering artists’ work recognized in annual exhibit By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — When you visit the Oshawa Art Association’s 38th annual juried exhibition, ex- pect to see into the souls of the selected artists. That’s what jurist Peter Kolisnyk was look- ing for in the works he selected for the exhibit, which opened June 22 and runs through July 9 at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. The artist, teacher and member of the Royal Canadian Academy took three hours to sort through the 150 entries submitted by OAA members and artists living in Durham Region, said exhibit chairwoman Marissa Sweet. Kolisnyk knew right away when he saw the best of show work, Stalinology, by Whitby’s Bo- hdan Sirant, Sweet said. “He wanted to get into this person’s head,” she said. “The juror wants to see the artist’s mind. He wants to know really what you’re try- ing to convey.” Kolisnyk has works in public collections throughout the world, including the McLaugh- lin Gallery and Station Gallery in Whitby. The best of show and several other awards were handed out at the opening reception. This year, OAA got 150 entries for the competition, said Sweet. Out of those, Kolisnyk winnowed the selections down to 50 for exhibit. “He had a very tough time,” Sweet said, add- ing the jurist knew when artists had had fun creating their works. She has one work included in the exhibit. Anne Labelle-Johnson said the exhibit at- tracts many new artists to OAA each year. The show also exposes local artists to critiques which can help them in the work, she said. “The exhibit shows a lot of creativity and colour and that artists in Durham are very tal- ented,” she said. She said the 157-member group enjoys being able to hold the juried exhibit at the McLaugh- lin Gallery. Sweet said the show takes a full year to plan and realize. The opening on Thursday night featured the awarding of prizes. Among the winners were: Best use of colour -- Michael Peech, Ajax, East Sooke 2nd in watercolour -- Robert Bourke, Pickering, Rest Beside the Path The gallery is located at 72 Queen St., in downtown Oshawa. Its hours are Monday, Tu esday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., weekends noon to 4 p.m.
