As a result, Durham Region Police Services (DRPS) Chief Mike Ewles said the gun crimes and violence associat- ed with Toronto gangs has seeped into municipalities across the region. Today there are 10 known gangs with a Dur- ham presence. But, a funding announcement by the provincial government will help the DRPS combat guns and gangs with a uniformed presence in problem areas. Commu- nity Safety and Correctional Services Min- ister Monte Kwinter was in Durham on July 9 to announce $510,000 in funding to fight guns, gangs and orga- nized crime. “Uniform personnel will be commit- ted to doing dedicated projects within dedicated communities,” Chief Ewles said. “If we have a problem with an issue in a certain bar where gang activ- ity or gun activity or increased levels of violence are occurring, we will target that activity, target the known offenders, target the bar.” The money is part of the $12 million anti-crime package Premier Dalton Mc- Guinty announced on June 6. Mr. Kwinter said the Toronto anti-vio- lence intervention strategy, launched last year, enables police to reduce gun violence by 40 per cent. “This was a complaint we were hear- ing; we had done such a great job in To- ronto that you were forcing these people to come into neighbouring communi- ties. This initiative is aimed at dealing with exactly that situation,” he said. GTA police chiefs were asked to iden- tify which municipalities were impacted and to make recommendations on how the $12 million should be disbursed. It was on the basis of these recommenda- tions that the Province is making a series of funding announcements, with Dur- ham Region being the first. “The government has introduced tough measures to get guns off the street and choke off the supply of locally pro- duced drugs that organized crime uses as currency to smuggle firearms into Ontario and ignite more gun violence,” Mr. Kwinter said.

The pair was taking part in Ontario’s Family Fishing Weekend, when anglers don’t require a licence in order to fish. Unique school program completes its fourth year By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A group of Dun- barton High School students thinks it’s about time for intensification in Pickering. “From an environmental point of view, (intensification) doesn’t take up greenspace and farmland,” Victo- ria Poole-Dacosta said. The student was part of a group studying transit and urban infill in Pickering as part of the Urban Water- shed Science program at Dunbarton. The students presented their find- ings after studying various ecological areas throughout Pickering. The presentation, ‘Towards Sus- tainable Cities: A Presentation by Pickering Youth on the Past, Present and Future of an Urban Ecosystem’, kicked off the end of the year. Victoria said she was inspired by a field trip to the Cornell community in Markham, finding its sustainabil- ity impressive, especially with shop- ping within close walking distance. She said Dunbarton is so spread out that her group’s findings showed 110 houses and two condominium build- ings could fit on the school property. They also studied the transit sys- tem and concluded it could be much more user-friendly by accommodat- ing more people and making routes more logical. Created four years ago, the pro- gram has been identified by the min- istry of education as a university- stream course. The intense program requires Grade 11 students to spend three By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — At the Ward 2 Town Hall meeting, cyclist Terry Price told Mayor Dave Ryan he feels unsafe on Pickering’s roads. “I’d like to see an initiative take place where the town of Pickering says ‘we need sustainability, traffic control and safety in our town, and we need to take care of the cyclists the same way we take care of the mo- torists’,” the 20- year-old said. Mr. Price was one of many residents who attended the second instal- ment of a four- part series of the mayor’s town hall meet- ings. The open format allowed residents to voice their concerns, and the mayor answered questions to the best of his ability. Names and numbers of those who spoke were recorded so staff could follow up. Mr. Price asked for bicycle lanes along Hwy. 2, with special consider- ation to the areas around Hwy. 401 off-ramps. Mayor Ryan said Kingston Road is regional and Durham Region has undertaken a bicycle and pathway study. Although he can’t promise something on Kingston Road in the next budget, “there is an acknowl- edgement region-wide that we need to address overall the biking issue.” On another concern, Pasquale Malandrino spoke on behalf of re- maining tenants at the Bay Ridges Plaza, where developers recently got the go-ahead from the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board to build a mixed-use development called San Francisco By the Bay. He said the City did not offer the support to the tenants that it gave the developers. Mr. Malandrino said the only sign that identifies the plaza for business has been converted into an adver- tisement for the complex, taking at- tention away from the businesses. He asked the mayor for his opinion on the matter. “We cannot and will not become Dunbarton students add their two cents ✦ See City, Page A4 ✦ See Police, Page A2 ✦ See Unique, Page A2 Jamie’s got chops to spare Pickering guitarist wins North American competition Page B3 Lookin’ good Volvo offers stylish alternative Wheels pullout [ What’s On ] WillowMyst back in Pickering PICKERING — Two familiar faces are coming back to Pickering to entertain city residents.

The half-million-dollar investment will be used by DRPS to develop an anti- violence intervention strategy. “Durham Region does remain a very safe place to live, work and play but we also have to stay out ahead of the curve and the gang issues,” said Chief Ewles. A high-visibility, uniform, rapid re- sponse team augments DRPS’s ongoing efforts to combat gang and gun crime in Durham Region, according to Chief Ewles. “We will certainly make it known to those people who gravitate towards those activities that they are not wel- come in Durham Region,” he said. Durham Region’s gun and gang unit was launched in early 2005 and last year the unit seized 44 guns, including 25 handguns. In 2005 and 2006, the unit arrested 96 gang members or gang associates and laid more than 450 charges in Durham Region. “This funding will give us a mobile, flexible, high-visibility response capacity in Durham Region that has been suc- cessful in other North American cities,” said Chief Ewles. Unique program takes students out in the field Police Chief Mike Ewles, front, talks to the media about the announcement of in- creased funding to police to target guns and gangs. The announcement was made at the Ajax-Pickering Community Police Office by Community Saftey and Correctional Services Minister Monte Kwinter, back. days a week in class and the other two at their co-op placements at or- ganizations such as Friends of the Rouge and the Frenchman’s Bay Wa- tershed Rehabilitation Program. Principal Rick White said he would have loved a course like this when he was in high school. “Where else do you get the op- portunity to go out in the field, col- lect data, and study local issues?” he said. The program’s teacher, David Gor- don, said “the City of Pickering has severely shifted toward sustainabil- ity” and he hopes the program has had some influence. Other groups studied urban sprawl and water quality, a Petticoat Creek lichen count, cycling and the urban forest. Students of the urban forest group said since Pickering has generally good air and water quality, trees can help maintain that. They found coniferous trees act like wind barriers in the winter, re- ducing heating costs, while decidu- ous trees provide the same function in the summer by keeping the sun out. They explained trees absorb pol- lutants and replace them with oxy- gen. Colin O’Neill, co-ordinator of field projects at Friends of the Rouge, said young people need to learn the most about environmental issues. “Our generation is going to make the differences,” he said. ✦ Police from page A1 ✦ Unique from page A1 May 2007 A two-week crackdown on street violence in Ajax and Pickering results in 16 arrests and the seizure of 10 guns and more than $45,000 in drugs.

As the procession carrying the bod- ies of six Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan Wednesday made its way along Hwy. 401 – headlights shining and emergency lights flashing – thou- sands of people made their way to the overpasses of Durham Region to pay their respects to the soldiers and their families. They clapped, they waved, they bowed their heads, they saluted as six black hearses flanked by marked OPP cruisers passed by carrying: ° Capt. Jefferson Francis, 1st Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, of Shilo, Manitoba ° Capt. Matthew Johnathan Dawe of Kingston, Ontario ° Master Cpl. Colin Bason of Abbots- ford, British Columbia ° Cpl. Jordan Anderson of Iqaluit, Nunavut ° Cpl. Cole Bartsch of Whitecourt, Alberta ° Pte. Lane Watkins of Clearwater, Manitoba As they milled about awaiting the procession, some with lawn chairs and cold drinks in hand to ease the wait on a muggy night, the mood was somber. High atop the Brock Street bridge a soldier stands with friends, a large Ca- nadian flag draped over the railing in front of him. He looks sad. “It’s the least I can do,” said Jor- dan Waddle of Whitby. At 19, he’s just one year younger than Pte. Watkins, the youngest of the six soldiers killed Wednesday. Jordan and his friend John Fortin, 20, made their way to the overpass and stood quietly wait- ing for more than an hour to pay their respects. And like the others who came out Sunday evening, the two young men just wanted to be there for the families of the six men who they proudly say were representing Canada. Mr. Fortin echoed the sentiments of most of those I spoke to Sunday evening when he said the outpouring of support wasn’t as much about sup- porting the mission in Afghanistan as it was about supporting the troops. “I’d say it’s 70-30” said Mr. Fortin. Dozens of Canadian flags were draped over the railings of the over- pass and could be seen waving in the air as the motorcade passed by. High on the bridge, atop a fire truck, four firefighters holding a Canadian flag stood in silhouette against the evening sky. What is it about these all-too-fa- miliar motorcades that now draws hundreds to every overpass between Trenton and Toronto? Nicki Cavallari of Whitby, who ven- tured out on a hot and muggy Sunday evening with her family, just wanted to be there to support the troops and the soldier’s families and what they’re going through. “It doesn’t really matter to me if they’re local,” she said of the dead, who on this night hailed from as far away as Iqaluit, Nunavut. Jan and Don Davidson of Ajax made their way to the Brock Street overpass because they knew there would be a strong turnout. And while they have differing views on the mission in Af- ghanistan they, like everyone else on that bridge, were absolutely united in their support for the soldiers and their families. Don, who spent seven years in the military, wishes Canada were less bashful when it comes to supporting the troops. He points to the United States where Memorial Day sees elab- orate displays of patriotism and every soldier’s grave sports a U.S. flag. “It should have been happening here 100 years ago,” says Mr. Davidson. As the motorcade passed through Whitby and on to Ajax and Pickering and beyond, the crowds dispersed, slipping quietly through the fields and parking lots nearby. Leaving the bridge I noticed the young soldier who had earlier been standing at the railing, he dabbed his eyes with a tissue and an older gentle- man passing by, a stranger, reached out and squeezed his shoulder in sup- port. Joanne Burghardt is the Editor-in- Chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group. photo by Heather Haug Emergency personnel were among those who took up positions on the Harwood Avenue bridge over Hwy. 401 as the bodies of six Canadian soldiers killed recently in Afghanistan returned home. involved in a landlord-tenant situa- tion,” Mayor Ryan said. “Beyond that, I have no comment.” Resident David Stolfi asked if Council has considered cost-cutting opportunities in regard to the 8.79- per cent tax increase. Mayor Ryan said discussing solu- tions is “a continuous process. “We’re trying to get the costs down, squeeze costs out over possible in- creases in revenues,” and take ad- vantage of every provincial or federal grant we can, he said. Mr. Stolfi also raised concerns regarding illegal activity at a fast- food establishment parking lot near Kingston and Whites roads. “There are a lot of illegal things happening in the parking lot - loiter- ing going on, drug dealing, all sorts of nasty stuff like that,” he said. He said a lot of locals have com- plained to the City, but feels the onus has been put on residents to monitor the situation. The mayor said there’s a lot of police work going on that residents don’t see. “The area you’ve identified will be targeted,” he said. Glendale resident Brenda Holden voiced concerns regarding the youth in her neighbourhood, speaking on behalf of residents who feel unsafe. She said tires get slashed, for ex- ample, and costs to repair various damages add up to about $1,000 per year for the average household. She wanted to know if there will be a strategy to address these issues, such as providing outlets for youth, and to engage younger kids to respect their community. The mayor said they’ve had meet- ings with community members and police, and there is a commitment by Durham Regional Police to work with bylaw officers, and site patrols will start soon. When asked where the youth should go, the mayor said the Petti- coat Creek Library has a room dedi- cated to young people with a pool table and shuffle board, for example. “We are trying to provide those things, but we only have so many facilities within the municipality,” he said. “The City of Pickering itself is working very hard to ensure all of our programs are readily accessible to young people.” He also said a certain degree of responsibility is required within so- ciety as a whole to combat the issue. Mayor Ryan said only about three per cent of youth cause problems, and “we certainly need to address the three, but we need to celebrate the 97 per cent.” OPENING AUGUST 2007 Retirement Living Just Got Better www.chartwellreit.ca Presentation Centre 1525 Pickering Parkway Pickering, ON Call 905-420-3369 THE RETIREMENT OPTION OF CHOICE We’re very pleased to announce that Pickering seniors will soon have a new option in retirement living.

Air 1 rescue s man lost in Pickering Resident found in wooded area north of high school PICKERING — A 28-year old man was rescued by the Durham Regional Police Air 1 helicopter after getting lost in a wooded area just north of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering. Police were called at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 7, to help locate the missing Pickering man who had not returned home from the previ- ous evening. A family member spoke to him early Saturday morning on a cellphone and said he sounded distraught. Police say the man had taken some drugs and become disoriented in a heav- ily wooded area near the high school. Air 1 and the K-9 unit joined other officers in the search. He was located by Air 1 at approximately 1 p.m. and found to be suffering from low blood pressure, hypothermia and dehydration. He was transported to Rouge Valley hospital in Ajax and is expected to make a full recovery, police said. Safe with guns stolen from Ajax home Semi-automatics missing AJAX — A small safe containing two handguns and about 500 rounds of am- munition was stolen from an Ajax home Saturday morning. Durham Regional Police report a fam- ily living on Bowles Drive, in the Church Street and Kingston Road area, left their home around 9 a.m. and returned at noon to find the home had been broken into. A small, but very heavy grey safe, was missing. The safe weighs about 300 pounds and measures 16-inches-by-16- inches. Police say someone entered through an unlocked window and managed to move the safe through the garage to a waiting vehicle. Inside the safe were a Browning 9mm semi-automatic handgun and a black Glock semi-automatic handgun. Ap- proximately 500 rounds of ammunition were also taken. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Constable Robin Roy- choudhury of the 19 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2534. Anonymous tips can be made to Dur- ham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-TIPS (8477) and tipsters may be eli- gible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Oshawa-area man critical after crash DURHAM — All Hwy. 401 east- bound lanes reopened around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday following a serious car crash earlier in the day in Ajax. Ontario Provincial Police says wit- nesses to the crash, which occurred at Salem Road around 3 a.m., pulled a driver from a flaming car that crashed into a tractor-trailer. OPP Const. David Woodford said a 40-year-old man from the Oshawa area is in critical condition at Sun- nybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. “He’s just holding on to his life right now,” he said. According to police, witnesses re- ported the man’s 2007 Hyundai Tuc- son speeding on the highway before it spun out of control, crossed the high- way and rear-ended the tractor-trailer. The car burst into flames. Traffic was diverted off the high- way, creating a nightmare commute for motorists, as OPP investigated the accident. “They have cleared the highway, but they are still doing their investigation,” said OPP Const. Julia McCuaig. Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call the Whitby OPP at 905- 668-3388.

Erin Hatfield’s July 1, 2007 column. Durham is very well served by the high quality and hard- working staff of Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS). We welcome all comments about our patient care at RVHS. In fact, we have a patient re- lations co-ordinator in place to accept and reply to patient comments, compliments and criticism. Anyone may call the hospital, or e-mail the patient relations co-ordinator through our website, www.rougevalley. ca/patientrelations/. Patients may avail themselves of this service during their stay or after they leave. We would have liked to have had contact from your report- er before her column was pub- lished. In fairness, we should have been given that opportu- nity. Our staff has thoroughly investigated this matter, based on the published column. As our policies and the law pre- vent us from disclosing any patient-specific information, we are not able to respond to the comments made. But we can point out that an independent survey earlier this year shows 91 per cent of our surgical patients at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, who responded to the survey, rate their overall care with us posi- tively. This NRC Picker survey result matches the average in the Greater Toronto Area. While it is a good result, we are committed to continuous improvement for all patients. Our professional, dedicated and caring staff provides high- quality patient care. In addition, the Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering campus is in the process of a major redevelopment to bring an even higher level of care to our growing community. We thank the community for its continued strong sup- port. Rik Ganderton Interim President and Chief Executive Officer Rouge Valley Health System Like police officers, soldiers deserve ‘utmost respect and support’ To the editor: Re: ‘Region to support troops with decals’, June 22, 2007 News Advertiser. I found it astonishing to read of the opposition when Regional council voted to mandate that all its vehicles display decals in support of our military personnel over- seas. Days earlier it was sad enough to follow the tom-fool- ery down the road in Toronto. Armed Forces personnel share day-to-day risks akin to those of police, fire and emer- gency personnel and they are all worthy of our utmost re- spect and support. Anyone who feels otherwise should not be in public office and should not be considered for political nomination, election or re-election. It’s also a cold slap in the face of every vet- eran in our land. These decals are not po- litical messages. No one ever asks a police officer, firefighter or soldier to do what they do on a personal basis - they are all governed by mission. Our show of support is a sign to them that we acknowl- edge their contribution to our well-being. Moreover, nomi- nal costs are involved. Oddly enough, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish isn’t concerned with inappropriate expendi- tures of property taxpayers’ money when it comes time for Home Week fireworks or the renovation of his Crys- tal Palace (a.k.a. Town Hall). Meanwhile, Uxbridge Mayor Bob Sheppard thinks that any sign of support for police, fire, emergency and military is strictly a personal issue. Neither one probably knows the meaning of patriotism.

IN THE COMMUNITY Who would make the cut on modern Ark /4& Or would we simply build our own boat for the second flood Do you ever wonder if God decreed that there be another flood to wipe out the evildoers and had some modern-day Noah start hammering together an Ark to save the righteous... do you ever wonder if you’d be asked along? Most of us think of ourselves as leading fairly upright, even principled lives, but you have to believe that when the rubber hit the road, a lot of our names wouldn’t be on the manifest. I mean, even if Noah had some serious help from the folks at Holland-America and Cunard, at best you’re looking at two to three thousand souls, not to mention zebras, elephants and gazelles. That’s not a whole lot of wiggle room. A lot of it, I suppose, depends on his entry criteria. There are, of course, the no-brainers. I think we can all agree none of us wants to bring along any mass murderers, accordion players or reality television producers. But after that, things start to get a little murky. Are we talking just absolute saints coming along? Or do we have space for the usually pretty good or maybe even one or two dozen, “Yeah, OK, I did that, but I was hammered at the time,” cases? I think even Noah would have to admit that being virtuous is much more difficult now than it was a couple of thousand years ago. Back then, you were basi- cally dealing with a little covet- ing here and there and maybe the odd graven image. Kids stuff. I’m not sure even Noah would’ve made the cut if they’d had You Tube back then. And an hour or so on the Red Rocket at rush hour, I’m pretty sure, would’ve taken some of the shine off his apple. So, perhaps some discretion is in order. For instance, we have sources of aggravation now that sim- ply didn’t exist in early bibli- cal times. Noah would have no idea what it feels like to have your favorite show pre-empted by curling. He couldn’t possibly understand the helpless rage one experiences while trying to find some sales help at the Bay. Nor would he have any con- cept of what it’s like to deal with insurance companies, Revenue Canada or municipal govern- ment. The gangplank to the Ark would be overflowing with row upon row of hapless supplicants pleading their cases and waving dishonoured automobile war- ranties, indecipherable and re- neged-on contracts and simple broken promises. To which, an exasperated Noah could only clasp his calloused and slivered hands to his ears and heave a hearty “Oy Vey!” Clearly a Plan B would be in order. I think a more reasonable and certainly fair option is that we each make our own boat. We are given the tools, the supplies and the directions and left to our own devices. When the rains came, when disaster struck, when all hell broke loose, those who were ready would be high and dry. Those who are not would be, to use one of Noah’s own phrases, S.O.L. And when you think about it, isn’t this what happens anyway? Aren’t all of us more or less in charge of building our own Ark? Of securing our future? Of float- ing or sinking? That’s my take on it. Now then, where the hell did I leave my tape measure? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html..

Total votes: 300 No: 60 % Yes: 40 % Route is set so get 407 built N ow that a route has been proposed, the key question is when the Hwy. 407 extension from Brock Road in Pickering to the Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington will actually be built. Unfortunately, there is still much to be done before Durham residents will have the privilege of paying a toll to avoid the tangled mess on the 401 each morning and evening. Some 600 to 800 property owners will be impacted by the extension, the interchanges that will be built and the links to the 401 proposed for Ajax and Clarington. Those owners will receive offers for their land at market value and, as a last resort, expropriation can take place. All of these moves are a prelude to the plan going to the min- istry of the environment in 2008 for approval. Considering the amount of time such a massive project would take to complete it will still be many years before we have a chance to use it. And over the course of that time, the region will continue to attract more homeowners and will become more congested. At just under 600,000 people now, Durham is expected to hit the 1 million mark by 2031. As is commonly known, areas east of Toronto have been se- verely underdeveloped for decades. As infrastructure has been concentrated to the north and west of the megacity, York and Peel regions have grown and pros- pered. There are literally dozens of 400-series lanes coming into and out of Toronto from points north and west while Durham has just a handful of lanes and long tie-ups during rush hour. With a provincial election coming this October, it’s time to push party leaders to make a vow to get the 407 built within the next half-dozen years. The people of Durham have been patient in waiting far too long for this project to be started. Each year of delay means the commute gets that much longer and businesses which rely on just-in-time deliveries are forced to plan to be just not in time. Enough time has been wasted. Let’s move the process forward and get the 407 extension in gear. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

Way to go Vaughan Willard!!! Everyone Enjoys a Barbecue – Do it Safely! Every year in Ontario, people are injured needlessly while lighting their barbecues. The correct way to light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning on the gas. When you are fi nished barbecuing, turn off the propane cylinder valve and then the barbecue burners. Always use and store your barbecue and propane cylinder outdoors. For information about cleaning and maintaining your barbecue, read the manufacturer’s instructions. Contact Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628 or, email fi re@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about barbecue safety. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the safe use and maintenance of your barbecue.

SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Ajax-Pickering Rock continues round-robin playoff action against the Mohawk Stars at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday at 8:30 p.m. Sports briefs JULY 11, 2007 [ Wrestling ] Rabjohn golden at Canada Cup meet DURHAM — Ajax’s Paul Rabjohn was on top of the heap at the presti- gious Canada Cup wrestling meet held at the University of Guelph over the weekend. Wrestling in the 76-kilogram weight class, Rabjohn won gold after defeat- ing Connor Malloy of the CAN Wres- tling Club in the final. Meanwhile, Team Impact’s Randy Pfrimmer, competing in the 69-kilogram weight class of the Pre-Junior meet, defeated Mick Letcher of Mohawk Valley in the final. Pfrimmer, a student at O’Neill Collegiate and mem- ber of the Team Impact Wrestling Club, was one of three Impact athletes to win gold. Mike Murray prevailed in the 100- kg class for Team Impact. Another Impact wrestler, Laura Steffler won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Championships last month. She medalled on the strength of a 1-0, 2-0 victory over London’s Erenia Hernandez. [ Basketball ] Keane helps Canada to sixth at worlds AJAX — Despite a 22-point per- formance from Ajax’s Kalisha Keane, the Canadian junior women’s basketball team couldn’t seal a fifth- place finish against Belgium at the FIBA U21 World Cham- pionships for Women in Mos- cow on Sunday. Keane posted her second straight 20-point game to pace the Canadians, but a late 8-0 run by Belgium lifted that country to a 72-67 victory. As a result, Canada will finish sixth at the 12-team world U21 women’s champion- ships. As a silver lining for the Canadians, their sixth-place finish was a record for Canadian age-group women’s squad. Canada qualified for the fifth-place contest after scoring a 74-69 victory over Brazil on Saturday. Keane again led the Canadians with a 26-point performance on 8-for-13 field goal shooting and 4-for-5 from three- point range. She also went 6-for-8 from the free-throw line. The Canadians lost in the quarter- finals after being ousted by the power- house Australian squad 98-57. Keane finished with three points in the losing cause. In the fall, Keane will begin play as a member of the Michigan State University Spartans women’s basketball team on a four-year athletic scholarship. [ Synchronized swimming ] Durham Synchro shines at Provincial championships DURHAM — A dozen Durham Syn- chro athletes competed at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre in London, at the 2007 Trillium 12 and Under Provincial Championships and brought home med- als and podium placements for their club. In the 12 and under duet category, Durham’s Alycia Halyk and Rachel Nick- erson won the gold medal in a field of 22 duets. In the 12 and under solo final, Ra- chel placed third, while Lindsay Dawson placed sixth out of 24 solos. In 12 and under figures, Durham Syn- chro swimmers brought home two more podium placements with Halyk finishing fourth and Nickerson placing sixth in a field of 130 swimmers. Lindsay Dawson (14), Sarah Masters (31), Katie Gagnon (33), Ellen Hamilton (45), Shannon Blaney (52), Meagan Caul- field (53), Julia Ehrt (56), Kionna Whyte (59), Lindsay Evelyn (88) and Madison Kitchener (104) also competed.

Here, Purple’s Michael Asselin wins the battle for the ball, even against his own teammates. Josephs lead Canada into worlds Pickering brothers on Canadian junior team By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — In the spring, back- court brothers Devoe and Cory Joseph used their quickness and sublime skills, not to mention their dead-eye shooting strokes, to propel the Pickering High School Trojans to its first ever provincial high school basketball title. Fast forward to Oshawa’s Durham College Athletic Centre on Friday, where the backcourt duo is back on the court. This time they were together, directing the offence of the national junior men’s team in an exhibition tune-up tilt against a team of older GTA players. From winning a provincial high school title to suiting up for Canada on the world stage — it’s all in a day’s work for the precocious Josephs of Pickering. In what’s surely a rarity for any nation- al program, the brothers Joseph earned their place among the top 12 junior (under-19) players in Canada and will represent the nation at the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championships in Novi Sad, Serbia, from July 12 to 22. The Josephs can hardly contain their excitement not only at the prospect of playing for Canada, but also of doing it together. “It’s a great accomplishment every time you can put ‘Canada’ on your jer- sey,” says Devoe, 18, a 6-foot, 3-inch guard who’s in his second year with the national junior team. “To play for your country, you have to go and play hard.” Adds Cory, 15: “It’s going to be great. It’s not everyone who gets an opportuni- ty to play for a world championship. It’s a great honour to get to play in the world championship and play for Canada.” Devoe says to play alongside Cory on the national team makes the experience of playing at worlds all that much more sweet. “It’s real special for me. We’re good friends on the court and good friends off the court. There’s nothing like playing with your brother. It’s going to be nice having him there with me and taking care of him,” says Devoe, who played in the world qualifying tournament last year. For Cory, a 6-foot, 1-inch, first-year guard, having his brother along for guid- ance is an added bonus. “It’s special because I got my older brother there looking out for me. He has my back and if we’re out there together to pass me the ball.” In fact, the competitive nature be- tween the two brothers, says Devoe, was the key to allowing both to become na- tional team members. “Every day we push each other to get better and better and it’s got to the point where we’re two of the top 12 players in Canada, which is a real great accom- plishment. You have to keep pushing yourself every day.” The boys’ high school coach, Ron Parfitt, who retired recently from Pickering High, took in the national ju- nior team’s final two exhibition games before the team jetted overseas on Sat- urday. He’s proud the Pickering High duo made their way on to the national squad. “Yeah, what can you say, they both deserve it. Both of them work hard. The whole school is very proud of them to be representing Canada and playing for Pickering. They have both worked very hard at being good basketball players,” says Parfitt. He believes Devoe belonged on the national team once again this year, but admits that he was mildly surprised that Cory was kept on the squad after the tryout period ended recently. “No, not surprised at all about Devoe. I’m maybe a little surprised with Cory because he’s a little young. But, the abil- ity is there,” says Parfitt. “In my mind, he’s the best Grade 10 player in the prov- ince and in the country. I think there’s a big kid from Mother Teresa (Maurice Walker) who’s in Grade 10, but it’s a little tougher to make it as a guard than as a big guy.” Both brothers attended the first ju- nior men’s national training camp back Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Brothers Cory, left, and Devoe Joseph will represent Canada at the junior world bas- ketball championships in Serbia.

That’s the site of the 2007 RBC Cana- dian Track and Field Championships at the University of Windsor, which gets underway on Thursday. The championships will serve as the selection trials for the IAAF World Championships held later this summer in Osaka, Japan. Athletes looking to be selected to the World Championship team are required to finish among the top four in their event as one of the components of the selection criteria. But, it won’t be easy for Felicien to win her seventh Canadian women’s 100-metre hurdles crown, as she’ll be challenged by Whitby’s Priscilla Lopes and Edmonton’s Angela Whyte. At last year’s Canadian championship, Fel- icien finished first, but only 0.14 sec- onds ahead of second-place Whyte and third-place Lopes. Three other Pickering athletes are also expected to compete at nationals. Olympian Anson Henry will compete in the 100 metres, as well as the 4-x- 100-metre relay. So far this year, Henry, who trains under American coach Dan Pfaff in Florida, posted his best time at the Grande Premio Brasil Caixa de Atletismo in Belem, Brazil, where he finished third in the 100 metres in 10.30. Meanwhile, Tabia Charles is expect- ed to compete in the women’s long jump and triple jump. This season, Charles set a new Canadian record in the triple jump at the Alex Wilson In- vitational at Notre Dame University in Indiana. There, she won the event with a jump of 14.02 metres. She was also third in the triple jump at the Prefon- taine Classic in Eugene, Oregon with a leap of 13.32 metres. Nikkita Holder, a graduate of Dun- barton High School, who’s starred col- legiately in the U.S., is expected to run in the 100-metre hurdles.

Expires June 30/08 +GST A/P Big goal lifts Rock past Aces in double OT Ajax-Pickering splits weekend playoff games By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — With one Howitzer-like shot, Jordan West-Pratt delivered the Ajax-Pickering Rock from almost certain playoff oblivion. After receiving a pass from Joel John- son, West-Pratt did the rest. West-Pratt’s quick shot from the high slot eluded Wellington Aces goaltender Bob Watson at the 11:09 mark of sudden-death over- time, giving the Rock a gutsy 5-4 double- overtime victory. So far this year, the goals don’t come bigger than West-Pratt’s marker, allow- ing the Rock to even their OLA senior ‘B’ round-robin playoff record at 1-1. Ajax- Pickering opened the first round of the post-season on Friday night, losing 8-6 to the Mohawk Stars in Ohsweken. Rock head coach Paul St. John was effusive in praise for West-Pratt’s perfor- mance. “Jordy has had a great year for us. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him. He’s gone back and played ‘D’ when we’ve needed him and I’m proud he got that goal. He’s a guy who’s beginning to define himself as a player and for him to get the winner showed great character. That was an NLL goal, for sure.” After Friday’s loss, the Rock’s win over the defending league and Canadian champions on their home floor at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Satur- day was nothing short of critical for the team’s playoff hopes. “This was our playoff life tonight and we just regained it,” explained a relieved St. John following Saturday’s game. “Now, we have to take our life and build on it until the end of August. That’s our goal. If we didn’t get the job done we would have been pretty much done. I hate to say it, but it’s the truth.” After surrendering a 3-0 first period lead, the Rock found themselves trailing 4-3 late in the third period when Ajax- Pickering got the break they needed to get back into the game. On the power play with 2:33 remaining, veteran Mark Craig showed why he’s the Rock’s leading marksmen again this season, squeezing a shot behind Watson to square the con- test at 4-4. The Rock were out-chanced by the Aces through the first 10-minute over- time frame. Except for the goaltend- ing from starter Mike Miron, the game wouldn’t have proceeded to a second, 20-minute sudden-death frame. The desperation was palpable for the Rock in the sudden-death overtime until West- Pratt’s goal resulted in a high sigh of relief from the Rock sidelines. Saturday’s victory was an important one, but St. John warned that it could be for naught unless the Rock responds with at least one victory in its final two round-robin playoff matches this week- end, beginning on Friday night at the complex against the Mohawk Stars at 8:30 p.m. The Rock ends its first-round, round- robin playoffs Sunday on the road in Fergus against the Wellington Aces. “Our next one is at home and we’ve got to win that game or this (Saturday’s win) means nothing. But, it does put us in a good spot,” says St. John. Most of all, the Rock come into this weekend’s action with both of its goalies ready to go. Steve ‘Chugger’ Dietrich is ready to resume action after a lingering injury kept the Rock’s brain trust from giving him a start thus far in the play- offs. “He’ll be available this weekend. We wanted to make sure (Dietrich’s) 100 per cent.” Miron, says St. John, was nothing short of brilliant Saturday, especially in barring the door after Wellington scored its fourth goal of the game. Miron came up with big saves in the two overtime frames to give the Rock a chance to win.

The Rock hit 10 goalposts in Friday’s loss to Mohawk...Also scoring for the Rock Saturday: Mike Daley, Jaimie Plunkett and Sean Felstead...In the Rock’s loss to Mohawk, the game-winning goal caused controversy as it was argued a Mohawk player was in the crease... in June, with approximately 45 players from across the country looking to earn the right to stay with the team. During the camp, the team was cut to 16 player and, upon returning from a playing tour of New Jersey, the roster was further re- duced to its current 12 members. While the competition was tough, Devoe says he was a bit more acclima- tized to the national team regimen this time around. “It’s never easy, but I’m a lot more comfortable now. You still have to come here and work hard, practise and play well in the games.” Cory notes playing in his first year on the national team has been a pure learn- ing experience as one of the two young- est players on the squad. “I’ve learned a lot. I’m playing with the best players in Canada who are older than me. It’s great playing with the older guys. Obviously, they have a lot more experience than me, so, yeah, they can teach you a lot of things.” The Canadians play an exhibition game against the U.S. prior to beginning the world championships against Nige- ria on Thursday. Canada will compete in Group ‘C’, which also includes Turkey and Australia. Canadian head coach Greg Francis notes his charges have a good chance to win. “We have a lot of talent on this team and we look forward to competing for a medal while representing Canada.” Pickering High brothers on junior men’s squad ✦ Pickering, from Page B1 FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.com PAGE B3 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ July 11, 2007 A/P Pickering axeman on top of guitar world Guitarist wins North American competition By Marva Palmer PICKERING — A teenaged guitarist from Pickering played his way past contestants from around the world last month to win the 7th annual North American Rock Guitar Compe- tition, sponsored by WNED. Guitarists from England, Ireland, Italy, Russia, South America, 21 American states and five Canadian provinces entered the competition. Six guitarists were selected to go on to the finals, and Jamie Robinson, 17, proved to be the best among them. He’s also the competition’s youngest winner. Guitar Player magazine’s associ- ate editor, Jude Gold, was one of the judges. He explained why Robinson won. “Jamie stood out because he stormed out onto that stage like he owned it, because he was able to justify his swagger by playing some truly dazzling shred guitar licks that showed intense and loyal dedication to his instrument,” Gold said in an e- mail interview. “He looked like he’d been playing guitar for decades, even though he’s still not even old enough to vote.” Robinson started playing the guitar at age seven, and has been writing in- strumental guitar tunes since he was about 12. He laughingly said none of those early scores is still around. He has been a guitar teacher at the Durham School of Music for the past three years. Robinson said he was pretty excited when he got the call that he was in the top six of the guitar competition. He sounded amazed that he won a prize for doing something that he likes. “It still blows my mind that I won the whole thing,” he said. “I’m the youngest winner of all time. I didn’t expect it.” He said the highlight of the compe- tition for him was getting up on stage and jamming with the judges, includ- ing one of his idols, John 5. “That was definitely the coolest part,” Robinson said. “Just being on stage soloing back and forth with John 5 was kind of hard to handle. He’s just so good.” Robinson received a bonus to the competition’s prize of a coveted Gib- son Les Paul Supreme, cash, and a Tommy Tedesco trophy. He was also offered a scholarship to the Guitar Institute of Technology. “This trophy will certainly open some doors for Jamie,” Gold said. He added that the guitar remains the most popular instrument in the world. “There are many devoted, mind- bogglingly great guitarists out there wowing audiences on a local level, but it’s harder than ever for them to crack the code of mainstream music,” Gold said. Robinson is dedicated to his craft and spends a lot of time practis- ing and playing with various bands. When he was 13, he dedicated the summer to playing the guitar. “[I] played guitar every single day basically from 6 in the morning until midnight then I’d go to bed, get up and do it over again,” he said. Robinson said it was a very strict regiment that he chose and has no regrets. “If I didn’t have to go to work and go to school, I’d probably still be doing that,” he said. “Playing guitar makes me so happy.” Robinson, a former News Advertis- er carrier, graduates from high school this year. Final exams were about to start when he went to Buffalo to par- ticipate in the NARGC finals. “The day I came back was Tuesday, the Wednesday, exams started. I was treated like a rock star for five days and then back to hard reality. It’s kind of brutal,” he said with laughter.

Bronze sculpture of dam builders graces McLaughlin gallery Leave it to the beavers to cause a stir By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Three beavers have taken up residence outside the Rob- ert McLaughlin Gallery. Not in the creek but near the en- trance to the gallery. These beavers are larger-than-life bronze sculp- tures created by Haliburton artist Mary Ann Barkhouse. They sit on a gorgeous chunk of Canadian Shield granite, the top of which is highly polished. And they are attracting plenty of attention. “We’ve had a lot of good response,” said David Aurandt, executive direc- tor of the gallery. “It’s capturing people right away. It’s not removed. It instantly en- gages people. This is what you want to have. People have a proprietary view.” One woman driving by stopped her car to take pictures of the sculp- ture. Aurandt also watched as a mother and daughter, leaving the gallery, paused at the sculpture. “The daughter said ‘This one is looking at me,’ “ he said. The girl also patted the beaver’s paw, commenting that its “hand” looked like her hand. “It may be bronze but it’s exud- ing a kind of life and energy that it seems a living creature,” Aurandt said. The beavers are permanent resi- dents at the gallery, too, as the gal- lery commissioned a sculpture from Barkhouse two years ago. This sculp- ture is the result. Barkhouse conceived the work as complimentary to her recent exhibit at the gallery, Boreal Baroque, which juxtaposed wild creatures with the wildly opulent. She called her sculp- ture ‘grace’, after Italian sculptor Antonio Canova’s ‘The Three Graces’, depicting three svelte goddesses, Beauty, Mirth and Good Cheer. In contrast, ‘grace’ features three, well, rotund, clumsy-looking rodents standing atop granite, the top pol- ished to mimic water. The beavers are preening, the act of taking oil from glands and spreading it over the pelt to keep it waterproof. On land, the beaver is anything but graceful, Aurandt said. But in the water and in its energy and ef- ficiency, it’s a different story. Beavers are capable of re-invent- ing their territory and the surround- ing landscape through hard work. By placing grace on a piece of the Canadian Shield, Barkhouse places them as valuable players in the ecosystem of the boreal forest and survivors of the European fashion industry. “This work is about recontextual- izing mythologies that, even if we come from different countries, we can share,” Aurandt said. ‘grace’ also connects with Os- hawa through its close proximity to Oshawa Creek, he said. About 200 or 300 years ago, beavers would have been putting their stamp on the nearby landscape, he said. You can find the gallery and ‘grace’ on Queen Street in the City Hall Complex in down- town Oshawa. And the one bea- ver really is looking at you.

It’s adding a summer musical dur- ing the 2007-2008 season, on top of six through the fall, winter and spring. The musical The Rocky Horror Show by Richard O’Brien will open July 10, 2008, which has actors and production people “buzzing.” The season opens Sept. 13 with the Canadian comedy Cake Walk by Colleen Curran. This play centres on a group of people competing for top prize at a cake competition at a Canada Day celebration. On Nov. 8, it’s Cosi, a comedy of sorts with a joyous message. This award-winning play by Australian playwright, Louisa Nowra, shows pa- tients and staff at a mental health facility hatching a plan to bring Mo- zart’s opera, Cosi Fan Tutti to the stage, with their own creative twist. January brings the contemporary drama The Laramie Project, written by Moises Kaufman and members of The Teutonic Theatre. It’s based on the true story of the brutal murder of a local man in Laramie, Wyoming. The townspeople, some 60 charac- ters in all, will be played by just eight actors. In February, the classic, autobi- ographical play by Tennessee Wil- liams, The Glass Menagerie, will be staged. This play won the Pulitzer Prize and launched Williams’s ca- reer. Three musicals end the year. First up in April is Jekyll and Hyde the Musical. The youth group presents Just So, based on short stories by Ru- dyard Kipling, in June. Then comes The Rocky Horror Show so get ready to do The Time Warp again. Seasons tickets are available until Aug. 15, with packages starting at just $56 per person for four shows. You can mix and match the shows to create your own package. For more information on sub- scription packages, go to www.osha- walittletheatre.com or pick up a copy of OLT’s brochure at the Star Assist Kiosk at centre court at the Oshawa Centre. Orders will be accepted by mail, e-mail and phone (905-723- 0282) until Aug. 15. Please recycle
