Mr. Takhar was in Durham Wednes- day, with stops at Eco-Tec and the OPG nuclear generating station in Pickering. He is still getting acquainted with his portfolio and was looking for advice from those who have been successful with their small business. The ministry was created at the end of May. “I wanted to come and see the com- pany myself and learn from their suc- cess,” he said, adding he’ll take what he’s learned and share it with other companies so they can learn too. Mr. Takhar said the government needs assistance to make the ministry work for small businesses in Ontario. “If we don’t meet people we may come up with ideas that don’t work, but if we meet with people and entre- preneurs we may come up with ideas that work,” he said. Rocky Simmons, Eco-Tec’s found- er, took Mr. Takhar on a tour of the Pickering business, which has been around since 1970. He talked about the company’s success in manufac- turing equipment for water treatment and chemical purification, including having sales in more than 50 countries SERVICE HOURS MON., WED., THURS., FRI. 7:30 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.

Nicole Woods, a 31-year-old Brockville area resident, says she is sending flyers with her husband’s picture to truckers’ groups and industry magazines in hopes that someone will come forward with information leading to the capture of the person responsible for the death of Donald James Woods. The 35-year-old man was found mur- dered inside his truck in the parking lot behind the Brock Road Wal-Mart store on June 23. An autopsy revealed the cause of death was gun fire. Police say his truck was seen parked in the same Avid sailor died doing what he loved Family pleased to have closure in death of Pickering man missing since trip in May By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Wayne Osborne’s family takes comfort in knowing he left this life doing what he loved most -- sailing. Mr. Osborne’s body was found July 13 a mile offshore near the St. Mary’s Cement plant in Bowmanville. He’d been missing since May 22. While she is sad to know her big brother is gone, Allison Laing said her family now has some closure. “A t first it was almost horrible be- cause it just made it true -- we knew it was true, I knew from the second they found his boat -- now we’re grateful that we know and we know he was close to home,” she said. On May 20, Mr. Osborne left Pickering with his dog Spoons to meet friends near Port Newcastle, but the conditions were rough that day and he never arrived. His 28-foot Corronado sailboat was found two days later by the United States Coast Guard, drifting in the waters off Oak Orchard in New York State. There was damage to the masts and sails, consistent with rough weather. A Canadian flag was found flying upside down, which is a signal for a boater seeking assistance. Shortly after he went missing, more than 200 hundred of Mr. Osborne’s family and friends gathered in Scar- borough on June 4 to celebrate his life in a ceremony that included Ms. Laing reading a piece she had written about her brother. Ms. Laing said one of his favourite places as a child was their cottage on Little Whitefish Lake, near Parry Sound. “It was at the cottage as a young COOL TRICKS Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Cathy Gadd takes Samba, a Portuguese water dog, for a wet training session in Frenchman’s Bay last week. Ms. Gadd and Samba, along with other water dog enthusiasts, were training for an upcoming na- tional trial in Guelph. Centre’s a ‘Wonderful reflection of diversity and equality of Durham’ By Fariha Naqvi Mohamed Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — It started with a small house, big dreams and the prayers of an entire community. Nine years later, those dreams have become reality. June 24 marked the grand opening of the Pickering Islamic Centre, other- wise known as Masjid-e-Usman. The grand opening was celebrated with a barbecue that attracted people from all over Durham Region, Scarborough and Markham. Dignitaries, good times and a touching speech by Halifax speaker Ja mal Badawi, who spoke of the impor- tance of good citizenry in Islam, marked the momentous day. “It’s a wonderful reflection of the di- versity and equality of Durham,” says 32- year-old Mohamed Shehata of Pickering, describing the building as “a wonderful piece of architecture.” Located at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Finch Avenue, the stun- ning, large, white building is similar to the Islamic Foundation mosque in Scar- borough. “It’s been a long time coming,” says Mr. Shehata of the atmosphere at the grand opening. “People were really happy to Minister makes small talk during tour in Pickering Muslim community celebrates new home ✦ See Woman, Page A4 ✦ See Woman, Page A4 ✦ See Pickering, Page A4 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Muslims gather for their weekly prayer service at the newly opened Pickering Islamic Centre on Brock Road. ✦ See Durham, Page A4 boy he found his true love –- sail- ing,” she read. Mr. Osborne was a man who lived life to the fullest in between working as a taxi and limo driver. “We talked millions of times about his lifestyle and he always felt we are here for a good time, not a long time -- like the song goes,” Ms. Laing said. “He thought he was invincible, he really did, but that’s what made his life so full.” Two weeks before he died, she said they were sitting and talking about how cats have nine lives, and joked about how he’d already gone through eight of his from being born with the umbilical cord around his neck and his motor- cycle accidents. “It was his time, even though he was so young,” she said. “He packed a lot in those 43 years.” As a tribute, Ms. Laing got a tattoo of a cross with paw prints and the words “carpe diem” (seize the day) last week after the police notified her family her brother had been found. Before moving onto his boat in Frenchman’s Bay a year ago, Mr. Osborne lived with his sister and her family just up the street. He was a member of the Pickering Yacht Club. “He loved it, absolutely loved it,” Ms. Laing said. “It’s a whole family down there.” At his Celebration of Life, Ms. Laing read, “When you feel the wind on your face and the sun shining in your eyes, remember Wayne left this world doing what he loved most -- sailing.” astern avestroughing Ltd.EE SINCE 1980 Residential Commercial Industrial Seamless Eavestroughing Aluminum Soffi ts & Fascia and Siding “Year Round Service“ 905-686-4175 835 Westney Rd S U#8 EAVESTROUGHING & SIDING 1 For Mortgage Tips call me anytime!

Union won’t vote on Region’s ‘final’ offer By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Contract talks have stalled, but re- gional transit service is ex- pected to continue for the time being. Durham Region Transit (DRT) tabled a final offer Friday, halting negotia- tions with the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union local 222. The chairman of the DRT branch of CAW local 222, John Johnson, said CAW will hold an informa- tion meeting this Sunday and will not vote on the tabled offer at that time. “We are not voting on it because it is too far apart from where we want it to be,” Mr. Johnson said. He said the union wants to set more dates for bar- gaining but right now all talks have stalled. Garth Johns, Durham Region’s commissioner of human resources, con- firmed the Region had laid down what he said will be its final offer. “We are not going to spend any more time bargaining,” he said. “We think we have made, what most people would con- sider, a more than gener- ous offer.” However Mr. Johns said there are areas of the ne- gotiations on which the two sides remain miles apart. “We have been more than reasonable,” he said. Officially, Mr. Johns said DRT will wait to hear back from CAW before there will be an indication of what will happen next. “I don’t envision any disruption in service,” Mr. Johns said. “It should be business as usual for the next little while.” Negotiations to hammer out a collective agreement for most DRT workers, ex- cluding those in Whitby, began on May 23. Both parties came to the bargaining table with extensive proposals after local transit systems merged to create DRT on Jan. 1. A government-appoint- ed conciliator was called in and a no-board report was requested on June 7. It meant workers could have been locked out on July 17, however that did not occur. Services in Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa and Clarington will be suspended in the event of a work disrup- tion.

She says detectives from Durham Re- gional Police have been “wonderful and they are telling me that they are moving forward, but of course it’s an active in- vestigation so they can’t tell me details.” The distraught widow says she just wants to find out what happened to her husband. “That’s the worst part right now,” she said. “The not knowing what happened and why it happened. It’s hard to move on and it’s hard to start to grieve and try to start to heal while not knowing any- thing at all.” Ms. Woods last saw her husband June 21 when they met up in Brockville before he continued towards Toronto with his load of meat. Mr. Woods was expected to pull over at the Truck Stop before con- tinuing his run to the Toronto area. The load of meat, destined for delivery north of Toronto, was missing from the trailer. The investigation continues and po- lice say they have not ruled out truck- jacking as a motive. Although Ms. Woods’s first concern is to gain closure, she also wants to send a message to trucking companies and to the government that driver safety needs to be addressed. “Right now with the price of fuel and cost of insurance, companies don’t want to do too much that’s expensive,” she said. “But someone out there, like the government, has to start doing some- thing more to ensure driver’s safety.” Anyone with information can call Det. Dave Henderson or Det.

We don’t believe in handouts... We need support... basi- cally we need help with contacts,” said Mr. Simmons, adding they need help getting to the high-level decision mak- ers in companies worldwide. He appreciated the minister com- ing to tour the facility and said he was impressed with Mr. Takhar. “It’s very important to be able to talk to the minister about some of the needs in the marketplace of a company of our size,” he said. “It’s nice to see a minister who is a business person, and who asks questions and is interested. “We believe Ontario manufacturing and small businesses like ourselves are vital. We believe Canada can be a manufacturing country and you don’t have to move offshore,” Mr. Simmons said. Before the tour, Mr. Takhar pointed out that most businesses in Canada are small businesses so that is where government needs to focus its help for businesses. “It’s really important to realize this is where the business is, this is what makes the economy run,” he said. After the tour of Eco-Tec, Mr. Takhar also commented on the importance of Durham for growth in the province. “The Durham Region is the key re- gion in the GTA; it is a fast-growing area,” he said. “It’s very close to several major urban centres and provides an ideal location for a business to start.” Mr. Takhar spent the afternoon in Oshawa meeting with youth entrepre- neurs. www.

The opening was free of charge, but organizers still managed to raise $83,000 towards the next phase in construction. “Currently the basement and outer shell have been completed,” explains Mohammad Rahim, president of the centre. “The basement has a capacity to accommodate 550 people,” which is ap- proximately the number of people who frequent the mosque on the first of the two Friday prayers. Unlike certain other places of wor- ship, the centre is home to Muslims from many nations and corners of the world, including “Trinidad and Tobago, Africa, the Arab world, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India, to name a few,” explains Rahim. The mosque started as a small house purchased in 1997, then demolished in 2002 to make way for the larger model. The building is slated to be complete by 2007, assuming enough funds can be raised. Construction does not begin until enough money have been raised. An estimated $800,000 is still needed to complete the next phase of construction, which includes the main floor and upper level for the women to worship. Despite a mandate of raising funds for the mosque, the Muslim community of Pickering has still managed to make a donation to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital every year since the mosque’s inception. The Pickering Islamic Centre offers a multitude of services. In addition to the compulsory prayers, it also offers Quranic studies, Arabic studies, and counselling services as well as complete mortuary services, summer school, and plans to have a recreation room and outdoor basketball court. Mosque volunteers are currently or- ganizing their third annual carnival, to be held Aug. 6 at Paulynn Park in Ajax. “It’s all about fun for the kids, rides, jumping castles, clowns, face-painting and a barbecue,” says the enthusiastic president. “The idea is to bring the community together.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Harinder Takhar, minister of small business and entrepreneurship, was in Pickering last week touring the Eco Tech Limited plant on Squires Beach Road.

And you know, I have to admit the whole thing has grown on me. It was a rocky relationship though. At first it was making me crazy. I often drive to work through downtown Toronto and the mayhem and traf- fic created by near-hysterical soccer fans was unbeliev- able. From the get-go it was like that. These people take a day off work if their team wins the coin toss. Statues are erected to footballers who hit the goal post. But this kind of unbridled enthusiasm, while a bit of a shock to your average, emo- tionally reserved Canadian sports fan, is undeniably contagious. After the first couple of weeks I found myself join- ing in on the horn-honking and waving. Stuck in soccer gridlock in Little Italy one night, I began happily shout- ing out any snatches of Ital- ian I could muster to passing carloads of beautiful Medi- terranean women. “Hey! Tre Stella! Tutti-frut- ti! “Linguini Ferrari! “Chef Boyardee Don Cor- leone!” It seemed to work too. All I got back were smiles and blown kisses. Not only that, but I discov- ered I made way better time. A stone-faced fellow could sit idling for hours without moving an inch, but show a little national spirit and foot- ballers are more than happy to pull over and let a fellow supporter through. At one point, during the mania of the quarterfinals, I seriously thought about in- vesting in some of those little flags for my car. Slap one of those pup- pies on your vehicle and you might as well have diplomat- ic plates. You can drive on the curbs and the cops won’t touch you, not to mention the aphrodisiac affect these things have. With the right flag on your car, on the right night, a single man could be yelling “Goaaaalllll!” all over this city. I also began watching the matches carefully. Not so much because I was becom- ing passionate about the sport, but because in order to plan the most expedi- ent route to work I needed to know who won and who lost. Even then, however, the equation was never simple. I drove through the Por- tuguese district the morning after their heartbreaking loss to the Germans, thinking the streets would be deserted only to add an extra hour to my drive trying to avoid the dozens of disconsolate Portuguese attempting to hurl themselves under my wheels. Finally, I’ve realized most of my interest in the out- come of the tournament was purely culinary. While initially, my ances- tral lines had me rooting for Mother England, I was not too put out when they were beaten. The thought of the streets of Toronto overflow- ing with warm beer, boiled beef and blood pudding is, after all, not a pretty one. A German victory too would’ve been hard to swal- low. I like sausage and beer as much as the next fella, but not when it’s being served by some guy in leather shorts. However, with Italy com- ing out on top our tummies will all be a lot better off.

Don’t let anyone tell you that to catch a big fish you need a lot of expensive gear. For Emily Olesinski, age 3, of Ajax, all it took was her three-foot-long, plastic Scooby Doo rod and reel, featuring one-pound test line, a worm and a hook. Fishing off a dock on Crystal Lake, this four-pound largemouth bass took Emily’s fishing line right off the reel. For tunately, it swam back to shore so her dad could grab it. Emily’s comment? “Big, big fishy.” To see more photos from residents across Durham and to submit your own, visit citizenseye.com, the Metroland Durham Region Media Group’s citizen submission website.

While no homeowner has needed to heavily water his lawn of late, the urge to turn on those sprinklers on a constant basis could hit anytime soon. That’s why it’s so important to remember the Region bylaw with regard to lawn watering from May to September. If you have an even-numbered address, you can water on even-numbered days; if your address is odd numbered, you can water on odd-numbered days. That’s straightforward enough, but you can take it even further by being careful about not overwatering. It’s best to water early in the morning for a short period of time to let your lawn get the best possible effect from watering. Yo u can also help the environment and help prevent a Region- wide water ban, by taking care to limit car washing, pool mainte- nance or by putting in a low-flow shower head or toilet dam. Not only will your actions keep the water flowing but it can also help lower your water bills. Water usage increases from 50 to 80 per cent during the hottest months of the year and demand for water can push the break- ing point. You can use a free water gauge to keep track of your own water usage. There are three distribution centres in Ajax and Pickering where you can go: the Pickering Civic Complex, 1 The Esplanade, 905-420-4620; Pine Ridge Garden Gallery, 2215 Brock Rd. N., Pickering, 905-683-5952; and Vandermeer Nursery, 588 Lakeridge Rd. N., Ajax, 905-427-2525. If you want to learn more about water conservation, you can pick up The Household Guide to Water Efficiency, free of charge. Call 905-668-7711, ext. 3511 to obtain a copy or fill out an online form at www.region.on.ca under services, “water, water efficiency, and household guide to water efficiency.” There’s plenty of water to go around, if we all use common sense and only take as much as we need from our taps.

Yes No Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Last Week’s Question: Is it a good idea to treat drinking and boating like a highway traffic offence, or is it going too far? Total Votes: 733 Good idea: 52.5 Goes too far 47.5 Rights of guide dog owners need to be known To the editor: It’s too bad not enough peo- ple are informed about the rights of people with guide dogs. My mother is deaf and travels with her trusted and much-loved hearing ear dog wherever she goes. She went with my father, who is also deaf, to grab a few groceries at a store. My mother was shopping when an irate woman started yell- ing at her. My mother, confused and having no clue what this woman was saying, went on with her shopping and if it had been an emergency, the dog would have alerted her. A few moments later a person who appeared to be the store manager ap- proached her with the irate woman standing behind, and pointed to the dog at which time my mother pointed to the dog’s coat and card which clearly states it is a ‘Hearing Ear Guide Dog.’ He apologized and turned around and explained to the woman (my mother was as- suming) that it is a guide dog. The woman apparently yelled something at the man, dropped her unfinished gro- cery shopping and left. I should add this dog, not that it should matter, is a non- shedding breed. One has to wonder about the selfishness of someone such as this. Eve Osten Whitby Compost bags don’t work To the editor: I was a huge proponent of the green bin program until I had to empty the under-sink container for the first time. The container was approxi- mately half full but I didn’t trust the flimsy biodegrade- able bags that were kindly left with us. I lifted it out only to find the bottom and most of one side of the bag had completely decomposed in under three days! Needless to say, I was not impressed I had a soggy mess that was now stinking up my entire kitchen. There are three people in our house, hence we do not produce a lot of organic waste so I am very reluctant to change the bag every day es- pecially after I found out the astronomical price of those biodegradeable bags. Rather than watch my taxes continue to rise and be forced to pay $240 per year for the green bin bags, I’m consider- ing the one-time cost for a garburator. Unless the Region can in- form me of another cheaper, tougher and more impervious bag, in the future they may just see my neatly stacked and sorted blue bins and one bag of residual garbage every other week sitting at my curb.

Mitsubishi Motors BUYBUY BIG EVENT 0%FINANCING on VIRTUALLY ALL 2006 (NC)—Before packing up the car and hitting the highway for your summer road trip, it’s important to make a pre-trip checklist to ensure a safe and enjoy- able vacation with the family. By reviewing the following tips from Michelin- Certifi ed Alliance Tire Professionals, you can minimize the risk of any road trip mishaps while keeping the kids happy and entertained! Tire tune-up: Tire tune-ups are just as important as your children’s regular check-ups! Make sure to have a complete tire inspection from your local tire professionals dealer including tire pressure and tread wear on your spare. Many tires have tread wear indicator bars molded into the tread. When the tread is worn down to where you can see a solid bar of rubber across the width of the tread, it’s time to replace the tire. Rate your speed! There’s no need for speed on a fun family road trip. Taking a leisurely pace will allow you to see the great Canadian landscape and ensure you arrive at your fi nal destination safely. However, it is important to learn your tire’s speed rating if you’re outfi tting your car with new tires before a trip. All tires have a designated speed rating, and it’s important to respect your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid hazardously modifying the vehicle’s handling from its original design. A speed symbol is a letter such as T, H, V or Z that refers to the maximum speed capability of a tire, normally following a number in the range of 80 to 110 such as 84T, 96H, 102V. This symbol can be found within your vehicle’s owner manual or on the vehicle placard, which is normally located on the door frame or glove box door. Car check-up: It’s not only important to make sure your tires are in mint condition – you need to prepare your entire car for the road to ensure a safe trip. Make sure to top up all of your fl uids, and if you’re still hearing that rat- tling noise every time you start your car, now is the time to get it fi xed. Don’t leave home without all of the necessary emergency equipment such as extra windshield-wiper fl uid, a fl ashlight, batteries and a fi rst aid kit. Don’t forget to make a pit stop! Travelling with kids can be a bit of a chal- lenge since they can’t sit for long periods of time, so take breaks along the way and let them run off some energy. Packing a soccer ball in the car doesn’t take up too much room but can really help out when you want to let the kids run loose. Kids can plan too! In order to ensure that every member of the family has an enjoyable road trip, why not incorporate the kids into the planning process? Have them pick something special they would like to do. Perhaps they would like to check out an amusement park, go swimming at a beach or check out an insect museum. - News Canada Summer road trip checklist: Prepare your car to ensure a safe and enjoyable vacation PreparePrepare forfor thethe long road aheadlong road ahead The ins and outsThe ins and outs of auto safetyof auto safety ADVERTISING FEATURE The Parts.

Just click here DURHAM — Not filling out your census form could cost you. The 2006 Census was to have been completed by May 16, and 90 percent of Ontario residents have com- plied. However, 500,000 households have still not sent in the form, the major- ity of which are in larger cit- ies throughout the province.

Sports briefs JULY 19, 2006 [ Auto racing ] Pickering driver pulls off rare triple at Shannonville PICKERING — A Pickering car racer hopped back into top spot in the Formula 1200 series drivers’ standings after a three-win weekend at Shannon- ville Motorsport Park, near Belleville. Frank Steinhausen completed the rare trifecta, with all three races being tight affairs in the racing series. In fact five cars were in contention in all races, with Steinhausen holding on for the wins. “It was the first time in my driving career to win all three races in a weekend,” says the 48-year-old. More im- portantly, the victories allowed Steinhausen to move up to first place in the driv- ers’ standings. He had slipped down to third after finishing first and second in the first two races at the Grand Prix of Ontario at Mosport dur- ing the Canada Day long weekend. In the third race, however, Steinhausen crashed just prior to the start of the race. Steinhausen and the Formula 1200 racing series moves to Mosport for three races Aug. 12 and 13. Including the Mosport stop, there are three racing weekends (nine races) remaining. [ Swimming ] Six gold, record for Greenley AJAX — Second best wasn’t good enough for Connor Greenley at the 2006 Aquatrainer Long Course Junior Provincial Championships in Nepean that attracted more than 800 swimmers. The Ajax Aquatic Club member may have had the best meet of his young career, returning home with six gold medals draped around his neck, and a new pro- vincial record to boast about. Greenley reached the end of the wall ahead of the rest of the field in the Boys 12 age group in the 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle, 100m and 200m butterfly, and the 200m individual medley. His time of 1:05.30 also set a new provincial mark in the 200m butterfly. There was little time to rest from one meet to the next, as Greenley left earlier this week for Calgary, where he will com- pete in the National Championships. [ Field Lacrosse ] Area players hope to sport Canadian colours DURHAM — Tw o years of training, 13 Lady Blue Knights and they all have one dream team. Tr ent University in Peterborough will host the U19 Women’s Field Lacrosse World Championships in August 2007 and after winning bronze in 1999 and 2003, Team Canada coaches have their sights set on their best finish yet. To this end, the coaching staff has a difficult job ahead of them. They must put together a team with enough talent, endur- ance, chemistry, grit, determination and spirit to battle Teams USA, Australia, and Japan, as their main competitors. Among the 13 Canadian team hopefuls from the Oshawa Lady Blue Knights is Ajax’s Melissa Nakasuji. Currently, there is pool of 34 tal- ented players hop- ing for a chance to play for their country and the 18 who eventually take the field for Canada. Yesterday, the girls continued their quest to pull on the Canadian colours, in their own back yard, so to speak. The team began training camp at the Victoria Park fields (across from Iroquois Park Sports Complex), in Whitby, which will continue until Thursday. Civic Fields will play host to the girls on Friday when they’ll begin play in the OWL Tournament hosted by Ontario Women’s Lacrosse. By the end of summer, the squad of hopefuls will be reduced to 25 to 30 play- ers.

The sport is not exactly what pops into your mind while reviewing Japa- nese culture. But, the cold-weather game has indeed taken root in the Land of the Rising Sun and an Ajax teen, one of five from Ontario, is part of a group of 21 midget-age players that will dis- cover not only how hockey is played there, but also uncover a little about their Japanese heritage in the pro- cess. Brendan Hann will spend 12 days in Japan as part of the Nikkei midget hockey team, made up of Canadian players of Japanese heritage. The 17-year-old and teammates leave for To kyo Aug. 1, playing eight games in Kushiro, Japan, where they will be the guests of the Japanese Ice Hockey Federation’s national midget team. The Canadian entourage will also enjoy sightseeing before returning to Canada on Aug. 13. Prior to heading for Japan, Hann will fly first to Richmond, B.C., where he’ll join the Nikkei midgets for a four-day training camp at the Rich- mond Ice Centre. Hann says his primary interest in becoming part of the Canadian en- tourage is playing against the best midget-age Japanese players in that country. He concedes that he’s also keen on finding out about the Japa- nese culture and his own heritage. “Just playing and seeing how the hockey is there. I’m looking for- ward to the food, too,” says Hann, whose mother, Leslie, is of Japanese descent. “I’ve never been to Japan and I’ve always wanted to find out about my family tree when I go down there.” The centreman learned about the hockey program through Chris Nott- beck, manager of his Ajax-Pickering Raiders midget ‘AAA’ hockey team, who had received an e-mail from the Nikkei midgets, searching for play- ers in southern Ontario with Japa- nese heritage. The Nikkei team took mainly players from B.C. in its first trip to Japan in July 2000. The Nik- kei midgets have returned to Japan biennially since then, with this year’s team involving players from other provinces. In May, Hann flew to Richmond where he took to the ice for tryouts with approximately 40 players over two days. Administered by Nikkei head coach Mike Ikeda, who also serves as the head men’s hockey coach at the University of British Co- lumbia Thunderbirds, the camp was extremely competitive. During that time, the Nikkei midgets also shared arena space with the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants, who were preparing for the Memorial Cup. Hann notes he was summoned after the final tryout session and told he had earned a spot on the 21-mem- ber team. “I was very happy. He told me I was going to be a leader on the team,” Hann recalls. Hann is unsure of what to expect when he faces off in the Nikkei midg- ets’ first game against KoGyo High School on Aug. 5. But, he’s fairly cer- tain that the physical play that’s the hallmark of the Canadian game will likely be missing from the brand of hockey employed in Japan. “I don’t know how good the hockey is there,” says Hann. “I just know that it won’t be a big contact game. They have smaller guys in Japan, so I don’t think the game’s the same as it is in Canada.” Upon returning to Canada, Hann will likely begin training camp with the Pickering Panthers Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League team, where he hopes to earn a spot as a rookie. Following junior hockey, Hann hopes to land a full athletic scholar- ship to a U.S. university. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Brendan Hann, 17, will travel to Japan next month with the Nikkei midget hockey team, one of 21 players of Japanese heritage chosen for the squad. Melissa Nakasuji Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Bryanna McCarthy, left, and Katherine Lawrence will play at the National All-Soccer event in Saskatoon this week. Aj ax girls go for gold at national showcase McCarthy, Lawrence represent Ontario at all-star championships in Saskatoon By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Two Ajax teens have their sights set on gold at a national soccer showcase tournament in Saskatoon this week. Bryanna McCarthy, 14, will play up an age group for Ontario’s under- 16 squad, while Katherine Lawrence, 13, will play on the province’s under- 14 team at the 2006 National All- Star Championship Tournament. The event started yesterday (Tues- day) and continues until July 23. All 10 provinces are sending under-14- under-16 representative teams to the championships. Ontario is the top seed in both groups. For McCarthy, the championship represents a chance to earn another gold medal for Ontario this sum- mer. The striker-left back returned earlier this month from being part of the under-15 girls’ provincial team that captured top spot at the Rocky Mountain Cup in Edmonton. Last year, McCarthy was also part of the Ontario under-14 squad that won the gold medal at the all-star championships against other provin- cial squads.

Aj ax riders soar at qualifier AJAX — Ajax Pony Club members fared well at the second Central On- tario region qualifier for the regional show jumping finals at Audley Road Stables in Ajax on Sunday. In the pre-entry division ‘A2’, Ajax Pony Club’s Liz Levin, aboard Silvera- do, finished second in the medal class. Meanwhile, club riders dominated class 1 of pre-entry division ‘B’. Jes- sica Clarke was first on Natasha, Angie Moorcroft second on Action Jackson and Sarah McDonnell was third on Jalapeno. In Class 2, another Ajax rider, Kady Paterson, placed first on Trigger Appy, with Clarke second. Clarke fin- ished as the division champion, while Paterson was the reserve champ.

In the entry division, Emma Lemay- Nedjelski of the Ajax club, on Cadbury, finished third in class 2. In the starter division, Emily Gillies of Ajax on Rambling Rose won the medal class. Gillies also finished sec- ond in the single-round-with-jump-off class. Overall, Gillies finished as the division champ. 14-year-old on the under-16 provin- cial squad, noting that it’s an honour to be chosen as an underage player. “It’s very special. I’m the only one going of my age group, so it’s a big thing,” she notes. “Two other girls in my age group were invited but both had prior commitments, so they couldn’t go.” McCarthy was referred to under-16 head coach Dave Peak by her under- 15 provincial head coach Brian Rosenfeld. Following a training camp at St. Catharines’ Ridley College, she was picked to play. “I went to the camp two days after I came back from Edmonton,” says McCarthy. “(Peak) liked what he saw and invited me to go with them.” McCarthy notes she hopes to build on her performances at the under- 15 tournament in Edmonton at this week’s championships. She adds the Ontario under-15s won all four games in Edmonton, including a 4-0 victory over B.C. in the final. Pickering’s Arin King and Jessica Vella were also part of the squad. McCarthy is also having a solid season as part of the Oshawa Kicks’ Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL) squad. The team is currently 7-0 in league play and has won the first round of the Ontario Cup playdowns. McCarthy’s the leading scorer in her division with seven goals in eight games. Meanwhile, Lawrence, a centre- back, has trained with the provincial under-14 team in Vaughan at the Vaughan Soccer Centre throughout the winter months after being pre- selected from the regional program a year ago. The provincial players com- peted in exhibition games, in Buffalo in January and in Florida in March, where the team also suited up for a series of friendlies. Earlier this month, she completed a provincial training camp at Rid- ley College where 21 hopefuls were whittled down to 18 for the trip to Saskatchewan. Lawrence, who’s entering Grade 9 at Pickering High School in the fall, has played with the Ajax Warriors under-14 OYSL squad this summer. In the future, Lawrence hopes to play for Canada’s national women’s soccer team at the World Cup or Olympics.

The Claremont resident says it is always a joy to win an award. Her previous Wo rd Guild honours were for articles dealing with the legalization of gay marriage in Canada, Sharia Law, on- line pornography and cy- bersex, and a Native Cana- dian evangelist. The guild is a national association of Christian writers and edi- tors. Newman says journalism is more than a profession, it is a ministry, an opportu- nity to share her faith with the world. “My faith informs my en- tire life and that includes my work... but I have to be careful that my faith doesn’t make my world view blight- ed -- and it doesn’t because I’m very open-minded,” she says. During her 22-year ca- reer, Newman has written for numerous national and international publications, including The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, and The Christian Science Monitor. She is a graduate of Ryerson University’s school of jour- nalism and has a degree in English literature from the University of Toronto. New- man also teaches journal- ism at a Christian college in Toronto. She is currently working on a documentary series as a field producer, researcher and writer. In the fall, she is con- ducting a workshop on Re- ligion and ethnicity in the secular media at Ryerson University’s Wordstock. She says religion is con- nected to all world conflicts, social and other issues. “It permeates everything, and that’s why it’s so in- tegral to journalism,” says Newman. Ye t, she doesn’t write only about religion. “I write a lot about news,” she says. “Politics, social is- sues. I write about business topics too. I’m a journalist. I follow the news. And I write about news, hard news.” Newman wasn’t always a journalist of faith, even though her father was an Anglican minister and she grew up in a Christian home. She says it is hard to be a journalist of faith. “Some journalists view people of faith as being im- balanced,” says Newman. “Some people of faith are imbalanced and so they give other people of faith a bad name.” She says anyone who goes into journalism has to be called to the profession. “It has to be a vocation; it has to be a calling, other- wise why would anyone do it?” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Josie Newman of Pickering has won a fourth Word Guild award for an article explain- ing faith to mainstream readers.
