The Pine Creek Area Neighbour- hood Watch was endorsed by coun- cil at the July 24 meeting. The new group was endorsed by the Durham Regional Police Service on June 20. Richard Munderich started orga- nizing the chapter in the Glenanna and Dixie roads area. He’d always thought the program was a good idea, but became motivated after the birth of his first child when he began going for runs in the evening, after dark. “I noticed all kinds of things hap- pening in the parks around the school, drug dealing and teenagers loitering,” he said. Mr. Munderich felt he had to do something or the neighbourhood would slowly get worse. He began talking to his neighbours and found some people had wanted to start a Watch in the past, but the number requirements seemed too daunting. They began signing people up and a year later they finally had enough people turn out at the meeting to get their chapter endorsed by police. Neighbourhood Watch is a com- munity crime prevention program designed to reduce the threat of Pine Creek residents start to Watch Autopsy results expected today PICKERING — An Austrian man died after being found in a Pickering public pool Wednesday afternoon. Shortly before 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 2, the body of 37-year-old Mir Najibul- lah Abbassi was found at the bottom of the Pickering Recreation Com- plex pool on Valley Farm Road with no vital signs. “It was a normal pub- lic swimming event,” said Tom Quinn, Pickering’s chief admin- istrative of- ficer, adding he closed the pool for the rest of the day because of the severity of the incident. According to Durham Region- al Police, witnesses saw the man swimming lengths shortly before a lifeguard found him underwater in the diving area. A statement released by the City of Pickering says the lifeguards pulled the unresponsive man onto the pool deck and administered CPR and used a defibrillator. Emergency per- sonnel also made attempts to revive the man, who was rushed to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday to determine the cause of death, but police did not anticipate being able to release the results until this morning (Friday). The two on- duty lifeguards report there was no diving or horseplay at the time of the incident. Investigators are not ruling out a medical episode. Mr. Quinn said the pool was re- opened Thursday and staff are re- ceiving counselling. “Something like this, this is real life, it hits people differently,” said Mr. Quinn. Currently, he is waiting for the coroner’s report on the cause of death. He is also collecting other documentation, such as the police report and information on who was working and how many people were in the pool, which he’ll use for a re- port to Pickering council. “It’s a very long process,” said Mr. Quinn. “There’s a number of stan- dard things you must do.” ALL TOGETHER NOW Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Emily Honsberger, Maya Guzman, Erin Skitch and Courtney Stott paddle across Frenchman’s Bay during a training session this week at the West Rouge Canoe Club’s Summer Program.

Pickering students taking part in initiative By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Five high school students from Pickering are get- ting an insiders’ look this summer at what it’s like to be a member of Durham Regional Police Service. The students, who are all from Pine Ridge Secondary School, are taking part in a Youth in Policing initiative set up by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. The intent is to give young people an opportunity to work in a field they might otherwise not consider as a career path. “Many of them -- probably I would suggest half of these peo- ple -- have never even given a thought to being a police offi- cer and may still not,” Durham Police Chief Vernon White said. “That’s not what it’s about. It’s re- ally about giving them a hope that they can be anything they want to be.” As part of the program, stu- dents are situated in paid summer placements and work in various police departments such as com- munications, human resources or with the Police Services Board. Alex Del Duca, 17, said he would probably be “flipping burgers” this summer if his principal didn’t suggest he and his fellow students take part. “This is a good program be- cause it gives individuals a unique experience and look on policing in general,” he said. “It’s an opportunity students normally wouldn’t get in a summer place- ment and learn about the things they want to do.” Dariusz Kwiatkowski, 18, said the Youth in Policing initiative has given him a first-hand look at what policing is and what it takes to be successful in the field. By working in 19 Division and then Durham Police Headquarters, he said he has learned both sides of the spectrum -- the front lines of police work and then the admin- istration. “This is something I’ve been dreaming about all my life,” said Mr. Kwiatkowski, who plans on taking a policing course at Dur- ham College in September. “I think this is the best opportunity a person can get.” On July 31, Mary Ann Cham- bers, Minister of Children and Yo uth Services, visited Durham Police Headquarters in Whitby to see the initiative in action. She said the program was originally intended just for Toronto this year, but at the urging of Chief White it was expanded to Durham Region. “These are kids who are still in school... but certainly it’s an opportunity for them to have an experience they wouldn’t other- wise have had,” Ms. Chambers said. “These are very, very special employment opportunities.” Prior to establishing the ini- tiative in Toronto, Ms. Chambers said she was told young people would not take an interest in the program. That hunch proved un- true when more than 1,100 ap- plications were received. “I think the benefits is that young people get closer to the po- lice -- relationship building works both ways -- and hopefully this will help them to see policing in a very positive light,” she said. The three other students par- ticipating in the youth policing are 17 year olds Aiesha James and Samantha Mayers, and 19-year- old Mark MacMillan.

It generally takes about eight or nine months to get a neigh- bourhood watch program up and running. A minimum of 75 per cent of the identified geographic area must sign up. Once this is done an endorsement meeting is held in the community by police; 60 to 75 per cent of signed mem- ber households must attend this meeting. Another new Neighbourhood Watch in the Appleview Road and Sparton Court was also re- cently endorsed by DRPS, but it hasn’t come to council yet. Morgen Dobson, regional neighbourhood watch co-ordi- nator with Durham police, said a lot of communities have joined the Neighbourhood Watch pro- gram recently. There have been 16 new ones in the past year and a half bringing the total in Dur- ham to 170. The program benefits both residents and police. “Everyone of the inspectors will say this is the greatest pro- gram because it is a true partner- ship between the police and the community,” Ms. Dobson said. On average when a new Watch is created residents notice the crime rate goes down in the area, but Ms. Dobson said this only stays true when the program is actively practised. The DRPS trains new neigh- bourhood watch members using a three-pronged approach: communication, which in- volves knowing when to contact police and with what informa- tion; awareness, which includes knowing what is normal for your neighbourhood and knowing how to prevent crime; and em- powerment, which means real- izing they can make a difference if they work with police to be the eyes and ears on their streets. City staff will soon be putting up the Neighbourhood Watch signs in the Pine Creek area. For more information about the Neighbourhood Watch pro- gram, e-mail neighwatch@drps. ca. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Richard Munderich, front, and his neighbours have organized a new Neighbourhood Watch chapter in the Pine Creek area. ✦ Appleview from page 1 PICKERING — A witness helped police corral a suspect after a stolen pickup slammed into two other vehicles and burst into flames during a pursuit early Wednesday morning in Pickering. Durham police officers were called to the area of Finch Av- enue and Liverpool Road around 2 a.m. Wednesday after a report of a vehicle theft in progress. When cops attempted to pull the stolen truck over the driver accelerated away, running a red light at Kingston and Liverpool roads. The pickup was involved in two separate collisions in the intersection before bursting into flames, police said. The driver kicked out a window and ran off on foot, but was tackled by a wit- ness and held for officers. Corey Neil, 21, of Ritson Road South in Oshawa, faces a number of charges including theft, dan- gerous driving, possession of a controlled substance and breach of probation. No one was seriously hurt, but police said the three vehicles in- volved have been written off. PICKERING — Two suspects are being sought after a man was stabbed during a brawl on a Pickering street early Satur- day. Durham police said one victim sustained a minor stab wound to his torso and an- other was whipped with a belt during the fracas, which broke out after an altercation among four men around 4:30 a.m. in the area of Kingston and Liv- erpool roads. The suspects are identified as two white men.

The storm that blew through Durham Region on Wednesday night certainly put on a good show. But, officials from Ajax and Pickering report little damage. “We had a couple of trees down,” Rick Chalmers of the To wn of Ajax said, adding one was on Riverside Drive and the other on Swanston Crescent. There were no reports of flood- ing, he added. “Nobody called in.” The trees were being cleaned up Thursday. “O ne of the trees fell on a hydro line,” he said, adding Veridian crews were out to restore power. Pickering officials reported no storm damage.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 4, 2006 durhamregion.com We all must do our part To the editor: I have been reading about people complaining about the new composting and recycling system in Durham. People have been complaining about the inconvenience, the raccoon issues and the amount of time they have to spend sorting out their garbage. I understand people’s concerns, however, let’s remember what this is really all about, and why this program was created. I am 11 years old and I am really concerned. What will the planet be like when I am a mother or grandmother? If we don’t follow this program it will only get worse. Twenty years from now we can’t be just sitting around saying ‘G ee, too bad we didn’t do anything when we had the chance.’ By then it will be too late. So, ask yourselves now, is today’s in- convenience really a big deal compared to the good it will do for us in the future? We all create waste and we all buy things with packages that we throw out and don’t even think about. I think it is our indi- vidual responsibility as people on this planet to be responsible for our own waste. If nothing else. I think one person can make a difference. I am upset and I could not imagine anyone not caring about our planet and the place we live. If people just keep forgetting about what we are doing to our environment then you can say goodbye to a clean and healthy future. Take action and start caring because once you know what is happening, you can’t not do anything. Think of your personal contributions to the landfills every year, and think of who you would influence in a good way if you did your part. Please talk, think and encourage others. This re- ally matters. Jessica Haines, Ajax You can become an everyday hero Most people look forward to summer because it allows them to enjoy the great outdoors. But going outside and getting active can sometimes, unfortunately, lead to trouble. Accidents happen and lives are lost. Accident survivors often require blood to survive. It’s this life-saving fluid that’s in short supply these days. For that reason Canadian Blood Services has four blood donor clinics planned for Ajax and Pickering in August. Hopefully Ajax and Pickering residents will take note and make a date to give their share. Because as recent clinics around the region have demon- strated, and it has historically been the case as well, the summer time is often the most difficult to meet blood drive targets. With many residents on holidays there are fewer arms to draw blood from which results in the drop in donations. The problem is further complicated by the fact that summer brings an in- creased demand for blood. To deal with the annual summertime blood shortage, Cana- dian Blood Services is holding its annual ‘Sirens for Life’ blood donor challenge. The challenge engages emergency services workers -- police, firefighters, EMS -- to save lives by donating blood during the summer. The goal is to raise 1,100 units of whole blood from July 1 to Sept. 4. Residents are also encour- aged to support their local police, fire and emergency medical services’ departments by donating blood on their behalf. Nurses who took part in a recent Durham blood donor clinic had a phrase for residents who donate blood on a regular basis. They called them Everyday Heroes. It’s a goal that nearly every- body in the community between 17 and 71 should strive for. If you know of someone who has ever needed blood or if you, yourself ever needed it, you realize how important the simple act of giving can be. It’s time more of us took an active interest in blood donation. It’s time more of us became Everyday Heroes. Growing p rogram helps deliver safer communities I n the good old days, neighbours watched out for one another, knew what was normal and what wasn’t on their street, and kept an eye on the neighbourhood children. It might be 2006, but several commu- nities in Pickering and Durham are sign- ing up for a program that is reminiscent of those days. The internationally recognized Neigh- bourhood Watch program can now be found in 170 communities in Durham with new ones organizing right at this moment. Morgen Dobson is the Neighbour- hood Watch co-ordinator for Durham Regional Police Service. In the past year and a half she has helped organize 16 new chapters, including the Pine Creek Area group. The new chapters have helped put thousands more eyes and ears on the street to help keep Durham safe. And on average those extra eyes and ears do make their community safer. With break-and-enters, vandalism and other crimes making the news in Dur- ham, it’s nice to see residents taking con- trol of their neighbourhoods and feeling empowered enough to want to do some- thing to stop crime in their community or make sure it doesn’t start. The process to form a new chapter is a long one involving signing up three quarters of your neighbours and then getting a majority of those people to come to a meeting. It shows a lot of dedication on the part of organizers and they should be recognized for wanting to make their community a better place. Members of new chapters are trained by the police on what to watch out for and when to call the police, as well as what information to relay when they call. Being aware of what’s normal in your neighbourhood can be beneficial, even if you don’t belong to a formal Neighbourhood Watch chapter. It’s also nice to hear that residents and police are working together to make Pickering a nice place to live and raise a family. People should feel comfortable in calling their police department when they think something isn’t right at a neighbour’s house or in the local park. Police welcome and need that help. With municipal budgets being what they are it helps with resources if police know what to look out for or where to target, for example, if a certain street had a rash of car break-ins on a Friday night.

Green bins proving popular on store shelves By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Bio bags are being bought up briskly under the Region’s new green bin program. So much so, that a number of people have complained Region-approved bags are tough to find, including Anne Drys- dale. “Everywhere you go they are sold out,” the Ajax resident said. “(The Region) wants us to do this but wouldn’t it have been nice if they had made sure the bags were available.” Ms. Drysdale said she has gone to a number of area stores on several occa- sions and as of yet has been unable to locate approved biodegradable bags for her kitchen green bin. “This is new for me, composting,” she explained. “And I am trying to be a good citizen but I just want to be able to pick them up when I grocery shop.” The Region’s website lists 80 stores in Durham that sell approved biodegrad- able bags. Bags must display one of five logos on the packaging. Shannon Payne, a Durham waste technician, said regional staff has been visiting area stores and checking on the availability of appropriate bags. They found most stores did have the approved bags in stock and the few that didn’t expected more to arrive in short order. A problem some consumers have en- countered, she said, was that store as- sociates have not been educated on the new green bin system and what bags are available. “We have been in contact with the store managers and talking with staff,” Ms. Payne said. “Some stores are really getting on board.” She said the Region did encounter a problem at a store in Ajax telling con- sumers that an unapproved brand of bag was appropriate. Meanwhile, the producer of the Bio- sak, the most prominent brand on Dur- ham shelves, admits the company has had some trouble keeping up with de- mand for the product. “We are extremely pleased with the tremendous response,” said Wayne Riv- iere, marketing manager with W. Ralston Canada Inc. “So much so that we have had problems keeping up with the de- mand. We have stepped up production to meet the unexpected demand but it will take a couple of weeks for us to get ahead of it.” As for the cost, which is higher than traditional garbage bags, Mr. Riviere said the economy scale hasn’t kicked in to bring the price down. Where traditional garbage bags are made of oil or petroleum products, the Biosak is made from corn and vegetable products meaning the cost to manufac- ture the compostable bags is greater. “There should be an evolution to bring the price down,” he said. A Metroland Durham Region Media Group tour this week of stores on the Region’s website found that most had approved bags, primarily the Biosak brand. A salesperson in Bowmanville at TSC at Duke and Baseline wasn’t aware of what bags where appropriate, but di- rected a reporter to customer service. The representative there said the store did carry one brand but that it was sold out. In Oshawa, Agustino’s and Nancy’s No Frills on Bloor Street East had both large and small Biosak bags. There were a few boxes left of each size. In Uxbridge the only store carrying approved bags was Wal-Mart. However, Canadian Tire carries them, but says it is out of stock. The Canadian Tire on Garden Street in Whitby not only had plenty of Biosak bags, but it had a huge display inside the door with green bins, blue boxes and a sign that read, ‘Region approved.’ In Ajax the Shoppers Drug Mart on Harwood Avenue South had a bin of bags just inside the door, as well as two sizes of bags on the shelves.

During July and August, the Os- hawa campus is hosting its one-week summer camps for soccer, basketball, baseball-softball, tennis, volleyball, golf, inline and multi-sports, elite volleyball, and a volleyball coaching clinic. “We’ll take in well over 1,000 peo- ple this summer,” said Ken Babcock, director of athletics at Durham Col- lege and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “It will be like a mini campus in summer.” For students mostly ages eight to 13, the sports camp experience in- cludes everything from learning to tie shoes properly in the basketball camp, to swinging a racket in tennis camp. “It’s sports specific, it’s not a day camp,” said Mr. Babcock. “You’re going to learn everything about sports from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. They’ll leave a player that understands the sport that much better.” Mike Duggan, an athletic officer and summer camp co-ordinator, said inexperienced sports players learn how to play the game, while more fre- quent players can tweak their skills. “If you had trouble and never played tennis before, at least you’ll know the fundamentals and be able to go out there and hit a ball with a buddy,” said Mr. Duggan. In baseball, participants learn throwing mechanics, fielding, steal- ing bases, running, hitting and more. “We break down the basic compo- nents of a sport,” said Mr. Duggan. For the golf camp, instruction in- cludes being introduced to etiquette and rules, gripping a club, chip- ping and putting, and inserting tees. There’s also a chance to play nine holes to put new skills to the test. “It’s really a fun format because golf can be boring to start,” said Mr. Babcock. Along with learning about sports, campers also get to participate in games and skills competitions. “Basketball kids get to play on the same court as our college varsity team,” said Mr. Babcock. He said the camps allow students the opportunity to use state-of-the- art facilities and get introduced to the college campus. “Lots of young people on campus is really a neat thing,” said Mr. Bab- cock. Mr. Duggan added the kids also learn life skills, such as respect and discipline. The camps run from July to the third week of August, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and are $150 a week.

By creating memory scrapbooks and discussing what they’ve read, youth can exercise their learn- ing during summer vacation, said Tom Hawks, director of the Oxford Learning Centre in Pickering. “Keep an active mind, keep kids thinking and exploring, inquir- ing and discussing in addition to playing and enjoying and soaking up the sun,” said Mr. Hawks. He said research shows that over summer vacation students lose some of what they’ve learned. To reduce the loss, parents can encourage their children to ac- tively read and think about what they’ve read, said Mr. Hawks. “A way to help is talking with your child about what they’re reading,” said Mr. Hawks. He said to ask kids their thoughts on books to get them thinking. Creating a summer adventure book is another of Mr. Hawks’ suggestions. By creating a daily journal, students can write and draw what they’ve been doing over the summer. “That’s my best idea for writ- ing,” he said. “We did this with our younger child, he was really a reluctant writer,” he said. “In the beginning it was like pulling teeth, but once we got going and he could see and look back a few pages... when we looked again after a couple of weeks and once he got into it, he had something to take pride in and reflect on and his writ- ing improved immensely over the summer.” For reading, parents and chil- dren can take summer trips to the library together and make it a fun experience, he said. To keep minds on math, Mr. Hawks suggested involving youth in daily routines such as grocery shopping. He said kids can do ad- dition in their head for the items purchased, estimate costs and figure out which products offer the best value. For pizza dinners, they can work on their fractions and by baking they can learn measure- ments. For younger kids, they can estimate the amount of berries in a box, then dump them out and count them. During drives, families can break the trip into legs and estimate how long it will take to complete each one, said Mr. Hawks. “It goes back to the beginning about keeping the mind sharp,” he said. Mr. Hawks said students also need some structure in their summer holidays so it doesn’t just pass by without them doing the things they want. Keeping a summer or family planner with daily goals, such as reading, can be helpful in making sure learn- ing and other goals are accom- plished. Mr. Hawks added a good prepa- ration for the next grade is a good understanding of the last grade. A new school year usually begins with a review of the last and if students start September ahead of the game, it can increase their confidence and help them foster a positive attitude. Ta ke steps to t ip summer studies in your kid’s favour Women from across the U.S. and Canada gather for barbecue By Stefanie Swinson Staff Writer DURHAM — Rain didn’t put a damper on the spirit of the ‘Ovarian Cancer’ women. Approximately 20 women from across the United States and Canada gathered re- cently in Sandi Pniauskas’s Whitby backyard for some food, fun, and chat. The group of women met in an ovarian cancer chatroom at www.ACOR.org. “My doctor actually told me about this online group of women and I came home from the hospital and got on- line and found them,” said Cindy Owens of Stafford, Vir- ginia. “They’ve been my lifeline. I don’t have any real sisters... I just immediately bonded with them, because you can go online any time day or night. You could wake up in the middle of the night, be- cause you can’t sleep and log on and say, ‘I feel really de- pressed,’ or ‘I have this weird pain,’ and someone would immediately write back and say ‘Oh, I had that... that’s re- ally OK.’ That was wonderful. It was almost a year before I met any of them in person, and I can’t even explain the feeling, it was just so wonder- ful.” The women meet each year at the OCNA (Ovarian Cancer National Alliance) conference in Washington, D.C. “We attend conferences, and typically we meet each other maybe once a year or twice a year but because of the functions of the confer- ences, the seminars, we never have enough time to chat,” said Ms. Pniauskas, a seven-year survivor and co- organizer of the event. “So we decided that what we’d like to do is simply have a chat session.” The event was planned in under a week. The barbecue gave Marta Stothers of Toronto the op- portunity to meet the women she speaks to daily, online. She has never been to an OCNA conference. “I’m here because I wanted faces to put to what it looks like to not only survive but to be happy. Cancer isn’t a death sentence. People die of it, but it’s also a way for many people to learn how to live. These people here are living, and I’m living, and that’s re- ally what’s important.” Lots of different activities were planned for the day, but three hours into the event, everyone was still chatting, laughing, and getting to know one another better. “I don’t think there’s going to be any games going on, no- body cares about that,” said five-year survivor, Annema- rie Decarlo of Washington, D.C. “It’s seeing each other, that’s the most important thing from month to month, from year to year. Just sort of to touch each other and to re- alize we’re still alive, that we have overcome this disease, even if it is just for a short time.” One thing that was in- cluded during the day was an online chat on tealtalk.com with those women who were far too sick to attend, includ- ing the co-organizer, Frances Johnson of Middletown, N.Y. September marks the ninth year for the OCNA confer- ence.

LCBO aims to help make traffic changes DURHAM — Established in 1964, the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) aims to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries. Beginning Aug. 1, all 600 LCBO stores in Ontario set up donation boxes at check- out counters in support of TIRF. A large portion of TIRF’s research is directed toward areas such as identifying high-risk groups of drinking drivers, developing cost-ef- fective practical solutions, and monitoring the size of the problem. The LCBO’s provincewide donation boxes raised hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in 2005, which benefited 26 provincial and local chari- ties.

News Advertiser Billboard AUGUST 4, 2006 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 4, 2006 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com Former Pickering resident Walsh leads Downchild Blues Band into Aug. 11 concert By Christy Chase Staff Editor DURHAM — In 2002, the Downchild Blues Band played the first Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival, thrilling the crowds in Memorial Park. “It was a really great night,” said Donnie “Mr. Downchild” Walsh, founder and lead- er of the band. “It was a beautiful evening. The park setting was great.” This year, the Downchild band returns to the festival to play its good-times blues music but the venue will change. The band will perform in concert Aug. 11 at the Gen- eral Sikorski Polish Veterans Hall on Ste- venson Road North. Also on the program will be Danny Marks, holder of the Toronto Blues Society’s Blues With A Feeling life- time achievement award. The Downchild Blues Band got its start in the summer of 1969, by Walsh and his brother, the late Rick Walsh. The band made its first appearance at Grossman’s Tavern in To ronto. Named after a classic blues song by Sonny Boy Williamson, the band has taken its good-times blues music to arenas, concert halls, clubs, coffee houses, parks, cornfields and even a prison or two, play- ing close to 7,500 gigs. And the band is still playing. “We were lucky,” Walsh said of the band’s longevity and popularity. “We had a hit (‘Flip Flop and Fly’) after about four years. We toured all over Canada and the United States. We were so busy working, we didn’t have time to stop. We toured extensively. “This is what I do. I really like the music I play.” So do the band’s fans. “People have a great time,” he said. “That’s a major part of the equation. People just have a great time and jump around and enjoy. If you’ve got the blues and come listen to Downchild, you’ll get rid of them,” Walsh said. “That’s basically what the blues are all about.” Good-time blues is what Downchild Blues Band plays, most of it written by guitarist/ songwriter/harmonica player Walsh with the rest penned by singer Chuck Jackson, who has been with Downchild 13 years. The other band members are Michael Fon- fara, keyboards, formerly of Rhinoceros, Pat Carey, sax, who has played with jazz and blues artists including Whitby’s Jack de Keyzer, Gary Kendall, bass, on his second stint with the band, and Michael Fitzpat- rick, drummer, the newest member. All are award winners as is the band. Walsh, who once lived in Pickering and worked in Toronto, said he writes when the mood strikes him. During his time in Pickering, the muse quite often struck dur- ing his long drives to and from work along the Don Valley Parkway, times when he, of course, was unable to write anything down. He got turned onto the blues as a teen- ager and knew that was the music for him. “As soon as I heard the blues, that was it,” he said, adding it would be some years before he turned to writing and singing the blues. At the Jazz and Blues Festival, the audi- ence will hear some good old Downchild tunes and some newer ones, including those from the band’s latest CD, Come On In, available in stores everywhere and at downchild.com. Downchild has produced more than a dozen albums over the years. During his down time, Walsh enjoys lis- tening to all kinds of music and enjoys boating and fishing. In fact, the morning of this interview, he was up at 5 a.m. and spent about three hours fishing on a peaceful cot- tage country lake. “It’s fishing, not catching,” he said. Unlike the blues.

Gut-check time for Henry Felicien set for stiff hurdles competition at senior nationals By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — For Pickering Olympian Anson Henry, this weekend’s Canadian Senior Track and Field Championships in Ot- tawa will represent either a step back or a step forward in a season that’s had its share of highs and lows. The 27-year-old is looking for- ward to competing in his seventh national championships, hoping to improve upon a solid 2005 Ca- nadian meet where he captured gold in the 200 metres and silver in the 100m. “I’m going to try and get the 100 metres (gold) this year. The main competition is Pierre Browne and Nicolas Macrozonaris and my season has been going a bit better than theirs, but if I do what I have to do, everything will take care of itself,” says Henry before under- going a workout at the Athletic Training Professionals (ATP) facil- ity on Brock Road in Pickering. There was a bright start to the current outdoor track campaign, including setting a new personal best of 10.12 seconds in the 100m at the Super Grand Prix event in Doha, Qatar in May. In that race, American Justin Gatlin tied the world record of 9.77 seconds. But, after a meet in Brazil and two more events in the U.S., Henry realized he had to put the brakes on the season when a nagging pain turned out to be two tears in his abdominal area. “It just kind of got worse over time. It started at the Common- wealth Games (in Melbourne, Australia, where he finished sev- enth in the 100m), just a small spot in my stomach. I put heat on it but, after while, it didn’t work anymore.” The abdominal pain meant Henry had to shut down competi- tion and speed training through June, receiving massage therapy and chiropractic help during that time. His only exercise was on the stationary bike. The rest, he says, has helped him heal a significant amount. “I’m not totally healed, but I can run again,” he says. “It’s a lot better than it was.” Henry notes with a good result, and if his abdomen r esponds well to his first major competition following the injury, he may con- tinue on to Europe to continue the outdoor season. If he suffers a setback, however, he’s content to stay in Pickering to continue his recuperation. “My main focus is doing what I have to do at nationals. After that, I’ll do whatever’s best for next season. I’ll do it in consulta- tion with my coach, but I’ll also listen to my body. If I do (plan to keep competing), I’ll go to Florida (to see coach Dan Pfaff at the Uni- versity of Florida) to touch base and sharpen up some things. If not, I haven’t seen my family for a while, so I could chill out here and relax,” he says. Henry isn’t the only Ajax and Pickering athlete with medals on their mind. Perdita Felicien, de- fending Canadian champion and current national record holder (12.46 seconds) in the 100m hur- dles, will be looking to hold off up-and-comers Priscilla Lopes, of Whitby, and Angela Whyte, of Ed- monton, to retain the Canadian crown. Felicien has run in only a hand- ful of events this outdoor season due to injuries, including a ham- string injury that’s been hamper- ing her performances. Of late, the 25-year-old two-time Olym- pian and world champion ran to a sixth-place finish at the DN Galan meet in Stockholm, Sweden on July 25 where she ran in 12.87 sec- onds. Also competing is Ian Mayne, of Pickering, in the men’s 3,000m steeplechase. This summer, Mayne finished an outstanding track and field and cross-country career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Ryan Finn, of Ajax, currently on an athletic scholar- ship to the University of Kentucky, is competing in the men’s 800m. Ta bia Charles, of Pickering, who’s the reigning NCAA Division 1 out- door champion in the triple jump, will compete in that event as well as the long jump. Jennifer Roberts/News Advertiser photo Pickering Olympic sprinter Anson Henry pumps iron at Pickering’s Athletic Training Professionals centre under the watchful eye of Jamie Hollins. Henry’s at the Canadian Senior Track and Field Championships in Ottawa this weekend. PICKERING — Canadian sprint- er Anson Henry wouldn’t be drawn into a debate regarding the inno- cence or guilt of American Justin Gatlin, who recently tested positive for testosterone or other prohibited steroids after a test administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. But, he was nonetheless sad- dened that his sport is being dragged through the mud once again by a high-profile athlete allegedly testing positive for performance-enhanc- ing substances. “It bothers me somewhat, but I’m not going to let it stop me from run- ning regardless,” says Henry. “It’s kind of sad to see how far some people will go for whatever reason, whether it’s fame or financial gain, to take that (steroid) route. “There’s nothing I can do about it. I hope everything works out for him. I wouldn’t wish it upon anybody.” Gatlin, a co-holder of the men’s 100-metre world record, equalled the record while running alongside Henry at the Super Grand Prix meet in Doha, Qatar in May, posting a time of 9.77 seconds. Henry finished fifth in that race in a personal-best clocking of 10.12 seconds. It’s not the first time Gatlin has tested positive for a banned sub- stance. A previous positive test re- sulted in a one-year ban. If the current positive test is borne out, Gatlin could face a lifetime ban. He nry saddened by U.S. sprinter’s positive test Perdita Felicien THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 4, 2006 PAGE 23 A/Pdurhamregion.com Come to the show on August 24, 25 and 26th Booth space is limited.

Oshawa junior baseball team has strong winning tradition By Brian McNair Staff Editor DURHAM — On paper, Jim Lutton figures the Oshawa Legionaires wouldn’t crack the top-5 of the 19 junior teams competing for an Ontario Baseball Asso- ciation championship throughout Dur- ham this long weekend. Good thing the games are played on the diamond, not paper. The Legionaires have a number of in- tangibles going for them as the embark on the provincial journey, most notably a winning tradition and the inspiration of playing in memory of Troy May, their former coach who passed away follow- ing a car accident last month. “O ne of the things that Troy said was that one of his biggest thrills was in 1999 when we won the right to go to the na- tionals for the first time,” says Jim Lutton, the team’s longtime manager. “He was instrumental.” Although 1999 was the first time, it certainly wasn’t the last that the Le- gionaires won the provincial elimina- tion tournament and earned the right to move on. They also won in 2002, 2003 and last year, when they managed a 3-3 record at the national tournament in Saskatoon. So, playing and winning this tourna- ment at home is nothing new to the Legionaires. “If we play up to our capabilities, of what I expect of the guys, yes I think we have a good chance of winning, or at least be around to contest the final,” says Lutton. “This is like a whole new season. Everybody is at a whole new level. It’s top notch. As soon as you walk into the park, you can feel the excitement.” Lutton estimates that the favourites would be the Brantford Braves, Windsor Selects and East York Bulldogs. If the Legionaires are to jump up and contend with those big boys, Lutton says they will have to play more consistently than they have throughout the season. A definite strength is the pitching staff, which boasts six strong arms, including three lefties. “If they’re hot, we’re definitely going to be heard from,” Lutton says. “They’d be frontline pitchers on any junior team.” The Legionaires certainly seemed pre- pared on Monday, when they pounded out a 17-1 win over the Thornhill Reds in Leaside League play. Brent Tamane fell a home run shy of hitting for the cycle and drove in six runs, while Chris Papalia had two hits and four RBIs. Jordan Pros- per, Adam Groome and Andrew Berg- man combined on a three-hitter. Oshawa’s not the only local team com- peting at the provincial championships, as Durham will also be represented by the Whitby Chiefs and Pickering Red Sox. All three teams will open up on Fri- day at 5:15 p.m., with Oshawa playing the Leaside Royals at Kinsmen Stadium, Whitby facing the Burlington Bulls at Iroquois Park and Pickering meeting East York at Kirkey Field. Portage Park in Whitby and Neilson Park in Scarborough will also host games on the weekend. The tournament wraps up on Monday at Kinsmen Stadium, with games begin- ning at 9:30 a.m. Leg ionaires looking for repeat at provincial championships 905 WHITBY CAMPUS 668-4211 1818 Hopkins Street 1-866-966-0626 SUDBURY NORTH BAY SAULT STE MARIE TIMMINS BARRIE OWEN SOUND OTTAWA PEMBROKE CORNWALL BELLEVILLE KINGSTON PETERBOROUGH OSHAWA/WHITBY SARNIA CHATHAM WINDSOR KITCHENER LONDON CO-OP PROGRAMS & JOB ASSISTANCE TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING & JOB ASSISTANCE 633 Granite Court Pickering, ON L1W 3K1 Fax: 905 837-6352 humanresources@lenbrook.com Lenbrook Group The THE LENBROOK GROUP email: humanresources@lenbrook.com Fax: 905 837 6352 www.lenbrook.com Reporting to the Audio Video Service Manager, this position is suitable for someone with a minimum of 1-3 years technical experience with consumer audio and video products.

The first whistles blew for the Ontar- io Lacrosse Festival earlier this morn- ing, a celebration of minor lacrosse that will invade arenas over a 10-day period that is expected to include nearly 4,500 participants representing 230 teams. The popularity of the event is substantiated in the fact that more than 36,000 people are expected to at- tend games that will be held until the close on Aug. 13. “It’s tough,” agreed Ron MacSpady- en, marketing director for the Ontario Lacrosse Association and the Festival, of the logistics of trying to stage an event of this magnitude. “We believe we are the largest single season sport- ing event in Ontario.” Just to throw out some more num- bers, MacSpadyen estimates that more than 200 volunteers are needed to co-ordinate the event to ensure ev- erything comes off without a hitch. The Iroquois Park Sports Centre is serving as the home base, with the overflow spilling into McKinney Arena. It’s the third consecutive year Whitby has hosted the festival, and with each year, the numbers have grown. This year is no exception. The Festival features provincial championships in five age divisions for kids aged seven to 12. Even the girls will be getting in on the action, with the all-girls’ box finals for pee- wee and midget age divisions, and the Harrow U15 girls’ Field Lacrosse Provincials. As well, the peewee and bantam National Championships will be held in conjunction with the festival, with gold-medal games in each division planned for Saturday, Aug. 12. It’s no coincidence that attendance figures are expected to peak on that day, with an estimated 7,150 fans anticipated. “We are trying to get recognized na- tionally as the premier sporting event for youth,” notes MacSpadyen. The Festival has included the Peewee Na- tionals the past two years, but added the Bantams for this year. Both age di- visions are slated to be held in Whitby again next year. Both teams are influenced with local content, as the peewee roster includes Durham Region residents Gabriel Burnside and Ryan Keenan of Osha- wa, Drake Caggiula (Pickering), Dar- ryl Comes and Jason Weber (Whitby), Matthew Hossack (Port Perry), Devin Shore (Ajax) and Brandon Staal (Courtice). The team is coached by Oshawa’s Derek Keenan. The gold medal game for the pee- wees is Aug. 12 at 3:05 p.m., with the bantams following at 8:05 p.m.
