Durham police officers re- sponding to reports of shots fired on Arcadia Square, in the Whites Road- Strouds Lane area, found several spent rounds and shell casings, but as yet have not determined who is responsible for the gun play. Residents in the neighbourhood told investigators they heard as many as 10 gunshots just before mid- night outside a house party before several vehicles tore off at a high rate of speed. Four cars had their back windows shot out during the incident, police said.

He has a family and that family needs answers.” Ms. Woods made an appeal for in- formation from the public as Durham Regional Police continue to investigate the murder of Mr. Woods, whose body was found in his tractor trailer behind a Pickering Wal-Mart store June 23. Police believe the man was shot when the load of chicken he was hauling was stolen. Since her husband’s death Ms. Woods has been actively assisting the investiga- tion, circulating flyers and contacting trucking companies in hopes informa- tion may be passed along to Durham homicide cops. At a press conference Monday morn- ing, investigators released new details of the cargo the 35-year-old Mr. Woods was hauling when he died. The Brockville area man’s truck was about two-thirds full, carrying a 14,000 kg load of fresh whole chickens valued at $40,000, said Detective Mitch Martin. The meat, processed by the Avicomax company in Drummondville, Quebec and destined for delivery in the Toronto area, was likely unloaded into either an- other truck or a warehouse, Det. Martin said. Police are releasing the information in hopes anyone who may have purchased some of the chicken may be able to offer information. It’s believed the haul of meat would have been sold within about five days, perhaps to restaurants or retail outlets. “Whether they knew it was stolen or not, I’m sure they had no idea it was in- 106-year-old man travelled to Ottawa to hear prime minister’s head tax speech By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Ralph Lung Kee Lee and his family have been waiting de- cades to hear the Canadian govern- ment apologize for its racist policy towards Chinese immigrants. On June 22, at the age of 106, Mr. Lee and his family finally got what they’d been waiting so long for. The Pickering resident was able to make the trip to Ottawa on the Redress E xpress to hear the government’s apology for the head tax imposed on Chinese immigrants. Mr. Lee is the oldest living person to have paid the tax. “Our family was just so over- whelmed to be a part of this,” said Landy Anderson, Mr. Lee’s grand- daughter, who made the trip with him. Ms. Anderson’s mother and broth- er also made the trip to Ottawa. Only about 30 immigrants who paid the tax and several hundred widows of those who paid it are still alive. Ms. Anderson believes her grand- father was one of only six men who paid the tax to make the journey to Ottawa to hear Prime Minister Ste- phen Harper’s apology. Ms. Ander- son said her family wasn’t sure if her grandfather would be able to make the trip -- his first since moving to Pickering’s Village Retirement Cen- tre in 1995 -– because of his age. But when they got to Union Station she said he lit up and was eager to begin the journey. Ms. Anderson was happy he and her family got to be a part of the day. “I’m still reeling in the aftermath of what took place and that our family was a part of that,” she said. “We were so happy.” Ms. Anderson experiences a range of feelings as she listened to Mr. Harper’s speech: joy, anger, and frus- Rodeo rides for Claremont More action planned for annual event CLAREMONT — Cowboys and cow- girls are going to be flooding Clare- mont this weekend for the annual Cla- remont Lions Rodeo. The action gets underway Friday night and doesn’t stop until Sunday. Vo lunteers from the Claremont Lions Club have been busy organizing a weekend full of events since February. New this year is a rodeo perfor- mance Friday night in addition to the traditional kickoff dance. “We try to add something new every year,” said Donna Painter, rodeo co-or- dinator. The addition of a Friday night per- formance means the event has turned into a double rodeo this year, deliver- ing double points for riders, which may help to attract more performers. The rodeo show is at 7 p.m. and will go a few hours, while the dance begins at 8 p.m. and runs until 1 a.m. The dance is open to those 19 and older. Admission is $15. All rodeo events are at Barkey’s Toad Hall, which is located at the north end of Claremont -- take Old Brock Road north to the Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line and turn left. The hall opens Saturday morning at 8 a.m. with breakfast going until 11 a.m. Rodeo action starts up again from 2 to 4 p.m. and there is another dance, beginning at 8 p.m. The last rodeo performance is Sun- day afternoon. During the three rodeo performanc- es cowboys and cowgirls compete in a variety of events, including calf roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling, women’s breakaway roping, bare back riding, and of course bull riding -- the most popular of all rodeo events and the most dangerous. There is also a trick rider and you can’t have a rodeo without the rodeo Pickering resident gets long-awaited apology ✦ See Round, Page A2 ✦ See Woman, Page A2 ✦ See Mixed, Page A4 OUT OF MY WAY Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Technovision’s Marlo Debenedictis and Reno Canada’s Daniel Misiewicz battle it out for the ball during a Pickering Soccer Club under-15 boys’ house league match at Kinsmen Park. 4 DAYS ONLY • DELIVERY AVAILABLE • PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED • ALL ITEMS CASH & CARRY • NOT ALL ITEMS STOCKED AT ALL STORES • SOME ITEMS NOT EXACTLY AS SHOWN • ALL SALES ITEMS WHILE QUANTITIES LAST • WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN OUR ADVERTISING • GST AND PST NOT INCLUDED IN PRICING • THIS AD MAY CONTAIN SOME NON-SALE ITEMS OSHAWA 1279 Simcoe St. N., L1G 4X1 (905) 728-6291 AJAX 19 Notion Rd., L1S 6K7 (905) 683-6771 PETERBOROUGH 1575 Chemong Rd., K9J 6Y2 (705) 745-5705 OSHAWA & AJAX HOURS: Mon - Fri 7:00 - 9:00 Sat 8:00 - 6:00 Sun 10:00 - 5:00 PETERBOROUGH HOURS: Mon - Fri 7:00 -6:00 Sat 8:00 - 6:00 Sun 10:00 - 5:00 Contractors Fax in your orders!

Martin said. Investigators are also hoping to hear from anyone who may have seen Mr. Woods’s truck -- a white 2006 Volvo trac- tor hauling a tri-axle trailer with a com- pany logo, AK Brothers Transport on its sides -- between the time it was last seen in Belleville June 21 and its discovery early June 23 behind the Wal-Mart store on Brock Road. Mr. Woods said goodbye to his wife around 9 p.m. June 21 in Brockville and headed west on Hwy. 401 for Toronto. He stopped at the 10 Acre truck stop in Belleville just before midnight, and the truck was seen heading west again shortly thereafter, Det. Martin said. A resident saw the truck behind the Wal-Mart store June 22, and called po- lice June 23. Mr. Woods’s body was found that day in the truck. It’s not known exactly what occurred between the time the truck was seen in Belleville and when it was discovered in Pickering. “We have reason to believe Mr. Woods arrived safely at the 10 Acre truck stop,” he said, “We’re not sure what happened after the truck left the truck stop, wheth- er Mr. Woods drove it or not.” Ms. Woods said her husband, a life- long trucker who loved his job, never expressed concerns about dangers presented by hijackers. She added she doubts he’d put up a fight if someone tried to steal his cargo: “Everything’s insured. “This was never imagined,” she said. “It was never in our wildest dreams or our worst nightmares.” Ms. Woods said she and her 13-year- old son are coping as best they can with the tragedy, but yearn for a resolution -- in the form of answers as to who killed her husband and why. “The not knowing why has been the hardest part of the last month,” she said. Anyone with information is asked to call 905-683-9100, ext. 7810. clown. Tickets for the rodeo are $15 for adults, $11 for seniors, $10 for chil- dren aged six to 12, and those five and under are $3. Throughout the weekend there are also vendors and other activities to keep people busy, including a petting zone and pony rides for the little ones, and a custom car and truck show Sun- day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the seventh year for the event, which attracts thousands of people from all over southern Ontario, as well as parts farther afoot, including Cal- gary. Ms. Painter said it is the club’s com- munity fundraiser with all proceeds going to a community fund to help finance projects. Last year’s rodeo helped the Lions donate $6,500 to pay for the basketball court at Claremont Public School. Members now have their sights set on working with the City of Pickering to renovate Clare- mont park.

With Ms. Woods is Durham Regional Police Detective Mitch Martin. Woman searches for answers Check where you live before putting your waste in a container By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Garbage cans and whether or not you can use one any more in Durham depends entirely on where you live, and that has proven to be a bone of contention for some residents. Letters have been pouring into this newspaper from residents ques- tioning why some can and others can’t use garbage cans to hold the waste left at the curb on garbage day. Whether it is animals, the smell or the added waste regular garbage bags create, some residents want to hold onto their garbage cans. Waste collection in Durham var- ies by municipality, according to Peter Watson, the Region’s director of waste management. Oshawa and Whitby handle their own garbage, green bin waste and yard waste. Each uses municipal staff and trucks to collect these streams, while Miller Waste handles blue boxes. “Oshawa and Whitby made an in- ternal decision that they wanted their residents to use only plastic garbage bags which can be tossed into the garbage truck,” Mr. Watson said. He added the Region had earlier, and incorrectly, said cans could be used in those communities. The balance of the Durham com- munities have uploaded the respon- sibility for waste collection. “When local municipalities up- loaded from the municipalities to the Region all the waste collection pickup was undertaken by (contrac- tors),” Mr. Watson said. ‘We encourage residents to put all their garbage into plastic garbage bags but it is not required.’ Peter Watson As far as the use of garbage cans goes, Mr. Watson said the Region has no restrictions. “We encourage residents to put all their garbage into plastic garbage bags but it is not required,” Mr. Wat- son said. Natalie Henning, Oshawa’s man- ager of waste and environmental ser- vice, explained that isn’t the case in Oshawa. “You can use the can to store gar- bage at home but on pickup day we want only bags at the curb,” Ms. Hen- ning said. Isolating organic waste and trans- porting it in a second truck would have cost the municipality an ad- ditional $1.5 to $2 million in capital costs and $1 million more in operat- ing costs annually. In addition, Ms. Henning said additional trucks on the road increases emissions. The collection trucks Oshawa has chosen for picking up garbage and green bin waste are sideloading trucks with two separate compart- ments. The garbage goes into one and organic waste in another, which prevents workers from being able to empty garbage cans because the gar- bage compartment is located deeper into the truck. Collection employees cannot physically reach the garbage compartment to dump a garbage can, meaning they have to throw the bags. As for placing garbage into a bag and then into a can, Ms. Henning said that produces a health-and- safety issue. “You would be surprised what we find in the garbage,” she said. “Glass and needles.” Therefore, reaching into a garbage can to pull a bag out is not safe, as collectors cannot see what they may be grabbing onto. Mu rray Gale, with the Town of Whitby, said the same reasoning is behind that municipality’s decision to not allow the use of cans. “Some people suggest we are cre- ating more waste by having to use bags,” Mr. Gale said. “But when you look at the big pic- ture, probably only five per cent of the population uses a can.” Oshawa resident June Scott doesn’t see the logic in sending more bags to landfill, since the new green bin pro- gram was intended to divert waste. “It just makes me feel we have taken so many steps backwards,” she said. “I think they should have at least given us a choice.” If residents are concerned about animals, Mr. Gale suggests rinsing off Styrofoam meat packages before putting them in the garbage. He also suggested there are sprays that will deter animals. GRAND OGRAND OPENING!PEN ING!GRAND O P E N I N G! TM PIZZA $5MEDIUM PIZZA WITH PEPPERONI ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!

He started washing dishes in restaurants to pay back the $500 he had borrowed from family to pay the head tax, the equivalent of two years’ pay. It took him five years to pay it back. In 1917, he got a mainte- nance job on the railway. An estimated 80,000 Chi- nese immigrants paid the tax, which was intended to deter Chinese immigration after Chinese workers helped build the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885. The tax started at $50 per person in 1885 and rose to $500 in 1903. After it was withdrawn in 1923, the head tax was re- placed by the Exclusion Act, which barred Chinese immi- grants from the country alto- gether until 1947. “This legislation clearly was a piece of racial legislation,” Ms. Anderson said. The policy of exclusion caused hardship for many families, including her own, said Ms. Anderson. She said her grandfather went back to China for brief periods, where he got married and had chil- dren. But, he continued to live in Canada, so the separation was difficult. Ms. Anderson’s mother never met her father until she was 12 years old, and her uncle died in China never having met his father. Ms. Anderson wishes the apology for that hardship and racism would have come sooner. “(It) is really sad because the community has been pressuring the government to apologize for decades and now he is too old to really un- derstand,” she said.

Convictions for derelict pools, failing to im- munize pets and failing to eliminate health hazards were released July 17 by the Durham Region health department. There are two major acts the department enforces from an environmental point of view, according to John Ingrao, the manager in charge of prosecution and legal activity: the Tobacco Control and the Health Promo- tion and Protection acts. The latter deals with issues including food premises regulations, drinking water safety and standing water and mosquito control and the department has now decided to publish convictions. During the past six months there have been five convic- tions under the act, apart from food premises convictions. The Institute of Islamic Learning on Audley Road in Ajax was convicted of and fined $3,000 for failing to comply with a public health in- spector’s orders to eliminate a health hazard in relation to drinking water. Mr. Ingrao explained the charges would have been related to a well. “My understanding is they are now in com- pliance,” he said. Also on the list are three convictions for fail- ing to comply with a public health inspector’s order to decrease or eliminate a health hazard. The charges relate to derelict swimming pools, Mr. Ingrao explained, and specifically, ensur- ing mosquito larva is not found in the pool. Fines for the three convictions ranged from $1,400 to $2,500 and all carried a two-year pro- bation period. “The owner or occupant received orders to meet specific conditions and during the course of that order they failed to comply,” he said. “G enerally, we have a process with each municipality,” Mr. Ingrao said. “A complaint is received by the municipality; the local bylaw officer goes out.” They first try to remedy the problem and if unsuccessful it is referred to public health inspectors. Mr. Ingrao said inspectors also deal with stormwater management ponds and pooling water in yards. Complaints are generally re- ceived from neighbours in the area. “With all the media West Nile (virus) is get- ting, nobody wants standing water in or near their yard,” Mr. Ingrao said. “We do think it is important to send a mes- sage to all the people who don’t have standing water that they are doing a good job,” he said. “Also it sends a message to all the neighbours, we are dealing with it.” Finally, the list contains a conviction under the rabies immunization regulation where an owner was given a suspended sentence for fail- ing to immunize a cat against rabies. “We have a large number of animal bites in the region,” Mr. Ingrao said. “All animals must be immunized on a regular basis with regard to rabies.” If the animal scratches or bites someone, the owner can produce documentation that the animal has been immunized. Health department’s convictions pool grows PICKERING — Afsar Naqvi says he found what he was looking for at the Rotary Club of Pickering. Mr. Naqvi earlier this month took over as president of the club. A native of Karachi, Pakistan, where he obtained a master of arts from the university, Mr. Naqvi went to Lon- don, England in 1973 to study accounting. Five years later he married Rehana, and the couple has three children. He joined the club in 2000. “In Rotary, I found the common cause,” Mr. Naqvi told club members. “I saw that all Rotarians give their time and money with- out expecting anything in return. I found Rotary to be a very community-oriented organization fitting very well into my way of thinking. “I believe that getting involved in the community gives you a purpose in life. I also realized that taking additional responsibili- ties can be stressful, but it provides another avenue of training -- as they say, you learn something new every day.” In addition to Mr. Naqvi, the board of directors for 2006/07 is comprised of: Ryan Guthrie, president-elect; Joanne Cross, past- president and membership; Evelyn Smith, secretary; Nicholas Vukovic, treasurer; Den- nis Gray, club service and public relations; Muttukumaru Chandrakumaran, commu- nity service; Ken Page, vocational service; and Ricardo Gomez, foundation and world community service.

We’re still tallying the votes, but I have to say, the results so far seem very encouraging. I remember, stupidly, won- dering what we were all going to do when the box was no longer spewing its electronic Novocaine 24/7. We ll, remarkably enough, when there is no television to be watched, you do other things. Kids suddenly find themselves squinting at the strange fireball in the sky called the sun. Their skin takes on a strange, healthy glow. Blood stops pooling in their bottoms and finds its way to withered leg muscles. One of them dis- covers a dust-coated relic in the garage and figures out how to work it. Soon they are riding these bikes all around town. It’s quite amazing. A word of caution however, if you are considering dispens- ing with your own television. It’s not a bad idea to have an EpiPen or a small supply of nitroglycerine on hand at all times. Sometimes the shock of walking into a room and see- ing your child sitting quietly with an open book in their lap can be overwhelming. Several times I’ve had to administer smelling salts to my wife. The transition is not an easy one either. I’d sooner try to dry out Robert Downey Jr. than wean a modern family off of television. For one thing, the instant you shut down the TV, the computer becomes the electronic surrogate. It’s sort of like methadone. The little junkies have simply swapped one digital addiction for an- other. And, like most addicts, they can be devilishly clever about getting their fix. “Can I go on the comput- er?” “No.” “Come on! I just wanna get my e-mail!” “Oh, all right.” Three hours later they’re still getting that e-mail. My next step, I think, will be installing some of that software that times and monitors their computer usage. Once they’ve used up their daily allotment, they’re S.O.L. Tough love. I never thought I’d react like this to electronic entertain- ment. I’d always viewed TV, computers and video games as more or less benign time wasters. But I’ve come to real- ize that the problem is actually much more serious. And we do our children, and ourselves, a grave disservice by not being more vigilant. There was a wonderful ar- ticle in the Toronto Star a few weeks ago by a writer who’d made a remarkable discovery. Most of the seminal works of art, literature, music, science and philosophy to have ap- peared in the last 50 years were produced by a single genera- tion. The Bob Dylans, the Paul McCartneys, the John Updikes, the Philip Roths, the Marga- ret Atwoods and Alice Munros all were from this generation -- born just before the baby boomers. They were from the last generation, coincidentally, to be raised largely without television. It’s not the whole explana- tion I grant you, but a large enough part of the equation that made me sit up and un- plug. And frankly, after only one month, the proof is very obvi- ously in the pudding. My kids are doing things now. They are moving through the world and in the world, no longer just watching it. Yo u can almost see a long atrophied part of their brain, a little thing called the imagina- tion, waking up and growing stronger every TV-less day.

Neil Crone enter laughing LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give green bin a chance To the editor: I’d like to comment on the arrival of our new garbage pickup and green box pro- grams. I think they’re great. Finally, weekly blue box pickup. I’m an avid recycler, but I was get- ting tired of having a huge pile of recyclables in my home. I’ve heard many negative com- ments about the green box program, but again, I’m a fan after only a couple of weeks. My mother-in-law, who lives in Scarborough, which has had the green box program for quite a while, gave me the greatest green box hint: instead of putting meat and bones into the household green bin, put them into a plastic container (I use an extra large marga- rine container) and then put the container in the freezer. On pickup day, just empty the container into your curbside green bin. I don’t have any issues with unpleasant smells coming from my household green bin at all. As with anything that’s new, it’ll take a while for residents to get used to our new pro- gram. I urge people to give our new garbage pickup program a chance, instead of criticizing it. Norma McWhinnie Pickering Bumped-up assessment required for Seaton To the editor: Re: Confused Pickering resi- dent; provincial proposed devel- opment of Seaton lands (May 31). The Province is spearheading the development of Seaton for 70,000 people. The Province conducted a non-comprehensive class en- vironmental assessment that did not fully examine the effects of urban development on the 111 wetlands, 38 species of fish, three cold-water streams, creek, 38 per cent woodlots, wildlife habitat and First Nations burial grounds in Seaton. The Province’s resulting Cen- tral Pickering Development Plan will fragment Seaton into 13 neighborhoods surrounded by natural corridors. But 42 roads and utilities will cross the natural corridors to connect the neighborhoods. How ‘natural’ will the corridors be? The Province established its plan without studying the sub- watershed. Dr. Ken Howard, vice-president - International Association of Hydrologists, Chairman - Commission on Groundwater in Urban Areas, states: “The provincial plan ig- nores the complex hydrogeo- logical systems, the sensitive aquifers and the potential long- term impacts of urbanization on the quantity and quality of water in local wells and river systems. From a hydrogeologi- cal standpoint, the provincial plan as it currently exists, is un- acceptable.” A full individual environmen- tal assessment would include a complete sub-watershed study and confirm the validity of the provincial plan for Seaton. Surely the word sustainability includes the long-term effect on the natural environment and long-term capital and operating costs that will be passed on to the taxpayers of Pickering. I collected, with help, 3,500 signatures from Ajax-Pickering residents asking for an inde- pendent EA for Seaton. I am challenging the provincial gov- ernment decision not to allow an individual environmental assessment in court. Is our natural environment not worth our best effort?

It’s mind-boggling and one would think the Government of Canada deserves some credit for pushing ahead with this awesome undertak- ing. Those who have complained about the conditions aboard hastily arranged ships or about how long it has taken to get stranded citizens out of Lebanon are simply being unfair. On the other hand, it’s also unreasonable to simply leave Canadian citizens to their own devices simply because they have chosen to live in the Mid-East or visit there. Those who suggest Lebanon is a dangerous place where a state of war might break out at any time have only got the story half right. For a number of years now, Lebanon has been relatively peaceful. In the Mid-East, outside of Iraq of course, the trouble between Israelis and groups like Hamas and Hezbollah has been essentially limited recently to the occupied West Bank and Gaza. There is still plenty of violence in those areas, but the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers by Hamas and Hezbollah a few weeks ago is what started the fighting in Gaza and then, two weeks ago, in Lebanon. Caught in the middle of the barrage are thousands of Canadian citizens, some of whom moved back to Lebanon years ago, others who were there on a summertime visit. The problem for Canadian officials was to, first, locate what some say are as many as 40,000 Canadian citizens in Lebanon, then to make arrangements to move out as many people as quickly as possible from Israeli shelling. So far a number of Canadian citizens have been killed in the fight- ing, including the devastating loss of a family of eight from Montreal. The tragedy is heightened by the apparent support of the Canadian government for Israel’s desire to wipe out Hezbollah, the militant group operating within Lebanon. Of course, when such fighting be- gins, innocents are caught in the middle and civilian casualties are inevitable. It’s hoped that diplomatic initiatives will stop the fighting and get the principals to the table, Meanwhile, the Canadian government deserves some applause for its round-the-clock effort to get Canadians out of Lebanon. There was no way to adequately prepare for such an evacuation and Canadians who have been moved out of the trouble zone should be grateful for the efforts on their behalf, made by their government.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 26 at 7:30 pm PUBLIC NOTICE The City of Pickering has become aware of an outbreak of a disease called pine wilt that affects Scots pine in our urban forest. It is a disease that has caused quite a problem in the mid-western U.S. and Canada, and is fatal to Scots pine. At this time there does not seem to be an effective chemical control for this problem. It is recommended that affected trees should be removed and not replaced with Scots pine. The wood should not be used for firewood but chipped and disposed of away from any Scots pine location. If you have any questions, please contact Scott McKay at 905.420.4660, ext. 5235.

Families are increasingly seeing the value in updating their summer homes with personal video recorders (PVR) and fl at screen televisions that take entertainment to the next level. In particular, PVR technology has really picked-up in the last fi ve years. PVRs allow users to digitally store up to 90 hours of TV shows, watch them at a later time and pause, fast forward and rewind programs and commercial breaks at the touch of a button. Perfect for those who prefer spending the day by the dock, but don’t want to miss their favourite shows. According to Ron Zisu, a buyer at The Source By Circuit City, one of Canada’s largest electronic retailers, some PVR terminals even allow users to record two programs simultaneously in superior digital quality. “Weekend vacationers don’t have to compromise their entertainment experience,” says Zisu. “PVR technology enables people to throw away their outdated VCRs with their average quality playback and get clean, sharp, digital pictures with fi ve times the resolution of ordinary television.” Flat panel TVs are also a hot item for summer home owners this year. Unlike traditional CRT TVs, fl at panels are slim in size and can be mounted on the wall so they don’t consume as much space. Today’s home theater technologies will keep your family entertained and happy while at the cottage.

At a membership meeting of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union local 222, which represents 290 DRT workers, held Sunday, John Johnson said the full membership voiced sup- port for its bargaining team. “They want to send the message to the Region that the ball is in their court,” said Mr. Johnson, chairman of the DRT branch of CAW local 222. “And we want to get back to the (bar- gaining) table.” Talks have been stalled since July 17 and no further dates for negotiations have been scheduled. DRT presented what it called the Region’s final offer on July 14 but Mr. Johnson said the CAW membership didn’t even vote on it at the meeting Sunday. “If we take something to the mem- bership it is going to be something the bargaining committee can endorse,” he said. Matthew Wilson, the Region’s direc- tor of labour relations, said the last offer, however, was a good one. “In our view the final offer is a fair and reasonable one,” he said. “There hasn’t been any change in the offer. Durham Region Transit is waiting for a response from the union.” The collective agreement, which saw four pre-existing agreements carry over when local municipal transit ser- vices amalgamated in January, expired on July 17. DRT had earlier requested a no-board report, therefore the Region can lock workers out or the union can vote to go on strike at any time. “So there is no collective agreement in place right now,” Mr. Wilson said. “Any time when there is no collec- tive agreement there is a risk of a la- bour disruption.” Whether or not DRT will lock work- ers out, Mr. Wilson said, is a decision yet to be made.

Bryanna McCarthy, 14, played up an age group for Ontario’s under- 16 squad, while Katherine Law- rence, 13, played on the under-14 team at the national show- case event that included teams from all 10 prov- inces. The Ontario teams didn’t lose a single game en route to gold in both categories. McCarthy and the Ontario under-16 team, the top-seed, won all four of its games. Ontario defeated Quebec 3-0, Mani- toba 4-1, Alberta 2-1 and British Colum- bia 4-0. Meanwhile, the under-14s, also the top-seed, recorded victories over New Brunswick 3-0, Alberta 1-0, Nova Scotia 3-0, and Quebec 3-0, while tying B.C. 0-0. In addition to their provincial team duties, McCarthy plays on the Oshawa Kicks’ Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL) squad. Lawrence suits up for the Ajax Soccer Club Warriors under-14 OYSL squad. Ajax Bulldogs muzzle foes at Canadian Cup AJAX — The Ajax Bulldogs boys’ under-13 rep soccer team’s bite was definitely worse than its bark at the recent Ajax Soccer Club Canadian Cup tournament. The Bulldogs were in full growl in capturing the championship of the under-13 ‘A’ division. In the final, the Ajacians downed the Pickering Fusion 3-0. Stefan Nero paced the ’Dogs with a two-goal effort in the championship game. Robbie Slattery added a single marker. Ajax started the event on the right cleat with a 5-1 win over Peterborough City. Tevin Peterson, Nero, Nick Ste- hlin, Richie Khasow and Alfredo Cam- patelli scored. In Game 2, the Bulldogs blanked Richmond Hill 1-0 on a goal by Zach Nieminen. The Bulldogs then battled the Fu- sion. Pickering scored an early goal and, despite some good pressure from Ajax, held off the Bulldogs for the 1-0 win. Other Bulldogs team members are Alexander Steele, Danny Young, Mokhtar Niazi, Brenden MacMillan, Elias Barker, Adam Valadao, Malique Beckford, Jonathan Brancaccio and Jake Bannister. Ray Nieminen coaches the team, assisted by Len Nero. The manager is Bernice Nero.

Ajax teen spins for Disney Allen headed to Florida to begin rehearsals on new ice production By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Perhaps it was hard work or maybe pixie dust sprinkled from Tin- kerbell’s magic wand, but an Ajax teen’s wish has come true as she’s set to be- come part of a world-famous ice show. Breanne Allen leaves for Lakeland, Florida next week where she begins five weeks of train- ing for a role in a Disney On Ice show. The long- time Pickering Skating Club member has signed on to perform as part of Disney’s brand new show, ‘Prin- cess Wishes featuring Tinkerbell’, which is set to tour North America through the end of 2006 and into 2007. “I’m nervous about being far from home, but I’m excited to be doing this,” says the 18-year-old, following a train- ing session with the Durham Region Skating Academy at the South Courtice Arena recently. “I keep thinking about everything I’m going to do and every- thing I’m going to see. “The chance to possibly tour the world doing something I have loved doing since the age of three and getting paid to do it was an opportunity that I did not want to pass up.” Allen is one of eight new cast mem- bers to join the Disney show this year, although she won’t know her role in the show until she begins her Disney ap- prenticeship, starting July 28. “They don’t tell you your role until you get down there and start rehears- ing,” she explains. Signing on with Disney, however, came at the expense of starting studies at the University of Waterloo this fall, where she was to begin classes in the ac- counting co-op-financial management programs. But, when Disney came call- ing, she opted to, and received, a year’s deferral. “When I was trying to decide to do Disney, that was on my mind,” says Allen. “But, everyone was saying you can go to school anytime, so that swayed me to go.” Allen was offered a role in the pro- duction after an extensive audition with Disney talent co-ordinators when the ice show landed at Toronto’s Rogers Centre last December. Prior to the audi- tion, however, Allen had sent a video portfolio to Disney. “If they like what they see, you’re asked to audition by invitation only,” says Karen Allen, Breanne’s mother. The audition was attended by only five other Ontario skaters, with each skater put through their paces indi- vidually. Allen recalls being completely engrossed in her on-ice performance during the two-hour session and that no jitters crept into her routine. “When I got out there it was fun and I actually forgot I was auditioning,” she says, adding that she also underwent an off-ice interview. A one-year contract was offered this spring and signed in late June. Since being hired, Allen says there’s been a plethora of paperwork to be tackled, mostly centred around obtain- ing a U.S. work visa. She’s happy to report that the documentation process has recently been completed. She’s confident she’ll be a quick study in learning the show’s choreography during her time in Florida. “I’m pretty good at picking things up. I’ll be trying to learn a two-hour show in a month’s time. They asked me about pairs (skating) and I’ve never done that before, so I might have to learn that,” says Allen, a graduate of Dunbarton High School’s High Performance Ath- lete program. The first leg of the Disney skating tour begins Sept. 8 and takes the ice show to five U.S. states -- Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, New Jersey and Indiana. It’s not known if any Canadian dates will be incorporated into the sched- ule, although the tours do tradition- ally include Canada. The various tour stops will not be finalized until later this month.

The Ajax resident practised in Courtice before heading to the U.S. to begin rehearsals. Bryanna McCarthy Katherine Lawrence Strong third period lifts Ajax-Pickering past Brooklin in Game 1 of semifinal series By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The Brooklin Merchants are still searching for the soft underbelly of the Ajax-Pickering Rock, looking for anything that could breach what so far has been an impenetrable Rock team. Like they’ve done in past tilts with the Merchants this season, the Rock bent, but certainly didn’t break in drawing first blood in what’s shaping up to be a bruis- ing and physical Ontario Lacrosse Association se- nior ‘B’ semifinal series. Playing Game 1 at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex on Sunday night, the top-seeded Rock broke up a 5-5 tie by scoring three straight goals in the third period en route to an 8-7 victo- ry. Sunday’s win was the Rock’s third against Brooklin this season, while the teams also tied one contest. The Merchants didn’t go meekly, however, scoring twice in the last two minutes of Sunday’s game to narrow the gap and they were threatening for the equalizer when time ran out. For Brooklin head coach Steve Mc- Carthy, it’s clear: The fourth-seeded Merchants must find the secret to un- ravelling the Rock, quickly, or risk being banished to the sidelines in the best-of- five series. “This team has been very resilient over the season. This was only our fifth loss of the season and three of those were to Ajax,” says McCarthy. “We need to find the ingredient or the confidence to put this team down once. If we do that, the players will stand a little taller.” After playing the Rock even through the first 40 minutes, the Merchants took a giant step backwards in the third. The Rock, which enjoyed a bye through the first round of the playoffs, seemed to have more in reserve for the final frame under steamy conditions. Brooklin seemed to melt under the heat, not to mention the pressure. “We’re such a young team, but they have to give 100 per cent for three pe- riods,” says McCarthy. “We continue to play games in spurts. You can’t do that against teams like Ajax.” Rock head coach Paul St. John fumed after the contest regarding a late-game tilt between Brooklin tough-guy and captain Brad Reed and Rock rookie Jor- dan West-Pratt, who’s the least likely among the Rock players to engage in pugilistic pursuits. St. John was none- theless pleased to get the win in the series opener on home floor, praising his players for rising to the challenge in the third period despite a two-week hiatus after finishing the season in first place. “We had to get the first game,” notes St. John. “If we had given it up, who knows what would happen in the series. We’ve played well with the lead in the past and we showed that again tonight. The guys were ready. We had two really good warm-ups and the pace was good in the first period. We played that pace and I don’t think Brooklin was used to it.” St. John, however, is under no illu- sions that the remainder of the series will be a walk in the park. He believes the Merchants will be an even better team on home floor for Game 2 at the Luther Vipond Memorial Arena in Brooklin Sat- urday night. “Brooklin has a really good team and they’re not going to roll over for us. They’ll be ready for us. We expect a good game on Saturday. They’ll be just as tough.” Game 3 is scheduled for the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sunday at 7 p.m. Rock rallies for victory in senior ‘B’ opener Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Squash club’s a smash hit AJAX — The Ajax Community Centre held a Squash Club open house featuring friendly matches between Canadian squash pros Jay Fleishman, left, and Dale Beesly as well as some drills headed by the new head of the Ajax Squash Club, Abdul Khalil.

Girdler and Hinkson joined the Merchants late in the season after being released by the Rock... Merchants’ coach Steve McCarthy notes he’s happy the Rock and Merchants got the chance to rekindle their long-stand- ing rivalry in the playoffs. “It’s a good rivalry on the floor and off the floor. We draw the best crowds with Ajax. It makes it more fun...” In the other senior ‘B’ semifinal playoff series, the Wellington Aces defeated the Owen Sound Woodsmen 9-8 in the opening game in Elora.

And, literally, on their backs. Playing their first game since the sudden death of the team’s found- er and owner, the Dodgers all wore May’s name and No. 20 on their jerseys for an Intercounty Baseball League game against the Kitchener Panthers at Oshawa’s Kinsmen Sta- dium. Rest assured, May, the sales manager at Durham Sports Wholesale in Pickering, would have loved the result. Ken Calway slugged a two- run homer in the first inning and the Dodg- ers led for the duration, posting a 7-4 win in a game that drew a large crowd and also raised funds for the May family. May’s wife, Lori, and two young boys, Jamie and Connor, were also injured in a car accident that ulti- mately claimed his life. Calway, who has been on a tear of late, had three other hits in the game, including a single in the sixth inning that delivered the winning run. Ryan Crotin and Nick DeSanctis added three hits each and Brett Pros- per had another pair for the Dodg- ers. Matt Tosoni, Greg Byron and Aaron Gordon each pitched three innings, with Byron improving to 4-1 and Gordon getting the save. The Dodgers continued to play in- spired ball the next day, taking an 11-7 win out of Hamilton over the Thunderbirds. Neil McBride doubled and scored two runs, while Chris Sereda had two hits and an RBI. Crotin also had two hits and Calway swatted a double. Colin Buckborough (1-1) allowed only three hits through four innings, but gave up six walks and six runs. Brian Sewell, Ian Okorofsky and Ben Chisholm all pitched in relief to pre- serve the win. The Dodgers improved to 14-21 and are now tied in seventh place with the Guelph Royals. They close out the regular season Thursday in To ronto with a make-up game against the Maple Leafs. Jerry Siebarth, one of Troy May’s many good friends, says the best way to pay tribute to the May family would be to support the Dodgers in the playoffs. “If there’s anybody who wants to do anything for the May family, it would be to support the team, to fill the stadium,” he says. NOTES: Several scenarios remain possible in the standings, so the Dodg- ers won’t know their playoff opponent until Thursday at the earliest. They will start the playoffs on the road, likely on Friday or Saturday... Jamie and Con- nor May are now together at the Hos- pital for Sick Children and reportedly recovering from serious injuries... The Eastern Ontario Baseball Associa- tion is taking donations on behalf of the May family.

Joyce Kamm and her dance troupe to perform at seniors’ jubilee By Al Rivett Staff Editor AJAX — Not in her wildest dreams did Ajax resident Joyce Kamm believe she would be a Canadian champion tap dancer, not to mention being front- and-centre at Roy Thomson Hall. But, it’s all true. The 62-year-old and the six other members of the tap dance troupe Stars on Tap will be one of the headlining acts as part of the 18th annual RBC Seniors’ Jubilee at the Toronto land- mark hall. There, Stars on Tap will also take part in the opening number for the showcase event for those 50 years and older, running Aug. 14 to 18. Stars on Tap also includes Toronto residents Carol Boorne, Marilyn Boynton, Betty Gallant, Ron Gilley, Audrey Haill and Mary Montgomery. “We’re all looking forward to Roy Thomson Hall,” says Kamm. “It’s a fun time, but a lot of work goes into it and the work won’t stop until the last performance. I’m always nervous about performing, but it’s an enjoyable, fun time.” Stars on Tap is in the throes of re- hearsals for the show, with the troupe working through its routine in a Scar- borough hall each Tuesday and Thurs- day this month. The chance to perform at Roy Thomson Hall is the icing on the cake for what has been a fruitful first year for Kamm as part of the five-year-old troupe. Since joining Stars on Tap last November, Kamm and the other mem- bers earned first-place honours in their division at the Canadian champion- ships, held in Guelph last May. Performing to the upbeat, rock ‘n’ roll number ‘All Shook Up’, Stars on Tap wowed the judges en route to the gold medal. “Being only with the group for six months, I couldn’t believe we actually won. It was a thrill, standing up there and being acknowledged as the best in Canada,” she says. Stars on Tap was automatically slat- ed to represent Canada at the worlds for tap dancing in Germany in Novem- ber. The group, however, was forced to decline the invitation due to previous commitments. “We were thrilled to know we could have been there (in Germany),” she says. “Hopefully, next year we’ll be fortunate enough to go.” Yo u could say Kamm is a johnny- come-lately to tap dancing. After a brief introduction to the discipline in her youth, she tucked it away until the fall of 2001, when she began taking classes at a Scarborough community centre. “There were two things I wanted to do before it was too late — tap dancing and folk art,” she says of becoming in- volved in both activities in her late 50s. “I thought ‘if I could do it, I would like to try it’. I enjoyed it and I still do.” The tap dancing classes eventually led to an invitation to join Stars on Tap. She jumped at the chance. “Pat Hamilton (the group’s chore- ographer) asked me if I would like to join the group and, needless to say, I accepted.” And, meshing both personalities and styles with her new dance mates has proven to be an easy transition. “I didn’t want to hold anyone back and I was told it could take a year to feel comfortable, but it was less than that,” she says. “It didn’t take me the year that some say it does, but every- one is different. Everyone is super to work with and I enjoy their company as well as their dancing.” For more information on the jubilee, call the Roy Thomson Hall box office at 416-872-4255 or visit www.roythom- sonhall.com.

Ellie's kids wish to extend their extreme thanks to the many doctors, nurses and social workers in Sunnybrook ER, Criti- cal Care ICU, and the general ward as they tended to Ellie and supported the family throughout Ellie's care. The family asks that donations in lieu of flow- ers be made to The Alzheimer Society of Toronto to which Ellie was a supporter. 7!3("52. *OHN #ARL OF "ELLEVILLE 0ASSED AWAY AF TER A SHORT ILLNESS PEACEFULLY AT HOME IN THE LOVING ARMS OF HIS BEST FRIEND SOUL MATEWIFE 3HARON ,OVED AND CHERISHED BY HIS CHILDREN *ACQUELINE #ABRAL #AROLYN 7ASHBURN *OSEPHINE 3MITH AND 3TEPHEN 7ASHBURN 2ESPECTED FRIEND TO HIS SONS IN LAW #ARLOS #ABRAL AND $AVID 3MITH 0ROUD GRANDPA OF *ORDAN *ACOB AND .ATHAN #ABRAL AND $YLAN AND (AILEY 3MITH 0REDE CEASED BY HIS BORTHER "ILL 3URVIVED BY HIS SISTER *UNE -URPHY AND BROTHERS *OSEPH $ON AND 2OSS AND SIS TER IN LAW +ATHLEEN 7ASHBURN AND THEIR FAMILIES $EAR UNCLE TO HIS NEPHEWS AND NieCES AND THEIR FAMILIES ,OVED DEARLY BY 3HARONS BROTHERS "RIAN +EVIN AND 2OBERT ,EE SISTERS $IANA $!MICO AND 6ALERIE ,EE AND THEIR FAMILIES !LSO LOVED BY !UNT (ELEN ,EE !UNT *UDY ,EE (OFFER 5NCLE !RT (OFFER AND THEIR FAMILIES *OHN TREASURED THE LONG AND SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP HE AND 3HARON SHARED WITH 'LORIA #HISHOLM 2OBERT (OGG AND #ATHY ,EWIS 4HANK YOU TO THE COMPASSIONATE AND CARING NURSES AND PERSONAL SUPPORT WORKERS FROM 0ARA-ED WHO HELPED CARE FOR *OHN AND ALLOWED HIM TO BE AT HOME AS WAS HIS WISH #REMATION HAS TAKEN PLACE 0RIVATE FAMILY SERVICE TO FOLLOW )F DESIRED DONATIONS IN *OHNS MEMORY MAY BE MADE TO YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY OR 3T -ARKS 5NITED #HURCH IN "ELLEVILLE Charity Golf Classic Royal Ashburn/Laing & Rohr Thursday, August 10, 2006 1 p.m Shotgun Start Royal Ashburn Golf Club 995 Myrtle Road West, Ashburn Registration Fees Foursome: $1,200 or Individual Registration: $300 Hole Sponsorship: $150 OVER 60% SOLD DON’T MISS OUT For information, please contact Laing & Rohr at 905-579-6245 or Scott Paterson at Royal Ashburn 905-686-1121 (252) Proceeds to be donated to “For the Love of a Child” A Durham Region volunteer organization serving local children with special needs WHITBY FOUNDATION & CADILLAC CADILLAC CADILLAC CADILLACCHEVROLET CHEVROLET CHEVROLET 401 KING S T ON R D BROCK RD.WESTNEY RD.SheridanSheridan CHEVROLET CADILLAC LTD. 1800 KINGSTON RD PICKERING 905-683-9333 www.sheridanchev@gmcanada.com Sheridanthetheall n e w all new 2005 Reader’s Choice Platinum Winner #1 • New • Used • Service • Body Shop OVER 60 PRE-OWNED VEHICLES INSTOCK & ONLINE www.sheridangroup.ca SPECIAL FINANCE PROGRAMS.
