Officers on two wheels
hand out 135 tickets
in six weeks
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Last week Police Con-
stables Mike Brown and Jeff Tucker
were informed of two violent robber-
ies at a park in Pickering. They believe
their bikes successfully led them to the
accused.
“We never would have been able to
locate them in a cruiser,” said Const.
Tucker. “We rode our bikes through the
pathway and kind of guessed where
they would be and found them there.”
Const. Brown said the bikes have
been successful since most people
can’t tell they’re police officers until
they’re up close.
“A gentleman that I arrested said the
bikes work amazing,” he said. “He had
no idea who we were or what we were
doing.”
Constables Brown and Tucker make
up the single patrol of police officers
monitoring parks and green spaces
in Pickering and Ajax. The program
has been in place since the second
week of June. The Durham Regional
Police Service has tried it in the past,
but it “teetered out” and it chose to
implement it again this year based on
concerns from public officials and resi-
dents. The patrol normally hands out
trespassing tickets and finds most of-
fences deal with alcohol and drugs, but
has also laid some criminal charges
relating to weapon possession. Com-
munity Resource Unit Sergeant Gerry
Moote, who is in charge of the patrol,
said he believes the program has been
successful.
“They’ve laid charges on 135 peo-
ple,” Sgt. Moote said. “But that’s pretty
good for two guys basically in a six-
week period.”
The officers meet at the beginning
of their shift and decide where they’ll
go, make sure their tires are pumped
and drive the van to a specific location,
with map books and water bottles in
tow. They’ll ride that area until they
basically feel they’ve exhausted it and
move on to another. They work 10-
hour shifts, and spend about half of
their time on the bikes, but still spend
most of the other half doing paper
work.
“There’s a lot of work to be done and
it’s keeping us busy,” Const. Tucker
said. “It’d be great if we had more
guys on the bike every summer. I think
after the powers that be see the results
that we produce this summer they will
think quite seriously about expanding
the unit.”
In fact, in an interview, Sgt. Moote
said that based on the positive com-
ments the department has received
from people using the parks, they most
likely will expand.
“It’s been successful and we prob-
ably want to put four officers on it next
year,” he said.
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said he
welcomes the patrols and is happy to
have police in the parks.
“But I want to stress the level and ac-
tivity in that regard is no different than
any other municipality of a similar size
and makeup,” he said. He added it’s
important for not only the police to get
to know the community, but for the
community to get to know the police
as well.
Const. Brown said it’s a great op-

OPG to
train its
own ‘armed
force’
Durham police
to be phased out
as security provider
over next several years
By Jennifer Stone
jstone@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Ontario Power Gener-
ation’s facilities -- including Darling-
ton and Pickering Nuclear -- will be
guarded by OPG employees, instead
of members of the Durham Regional
Police, by 2013.
That’s when the DRPS agreement
with OPG comes to an end.
It was a partnership forged after
9/11, when the Canadian Nuclear
Safety Commission upped its re-
quirements for security at facilities
like nuclear power stations.
“The CNSC asked for compliance
in a fairly timely manner, and we
wanted to make sure we were timely
and did it (met the requirements)
well,” said OPG spokeswoman Jac-
quie McInnes.
Having Durham cops take on the
job “allowed us to focus on some
of the other security enhancements”
required post-9/11, including a new
security building at Darlington, and
“more robust security measures,” in-
cluding geometric identification sys-
tems, she said.
Now, at the direction of the regula-
tor, the CNSC, OPG is to put in place
its own armed force.
“In discussion with DRPS and
in review of our evolving security
requirements, and the direction of
our regulator, OPG and DRPS jointly
agreed that for the long term this was
the best course of action for our nu-
clear response capability,” said Ms.
McInnes.
OPG isn’t currently saying how
large the force will be, nor how many
DRP officers it has had on hand over
the last few years. Hiring and train-
ing will be completed over the next
several years.
“The candidates will be looked at
from a number of places ... They’ll be
selected and trained over the next six
years,” said Ms. McInnes.
Neither DRP Chief Mike Ewles nor
police association president Tom An-
drews could be reached for com-
Provincial government’s
grant to provide soccer
for kids in need
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The Pickering Soc-
cer Club (PSC) business manager says
new funding from the provincial gov-
ernment will give more kids an oppor-
tunity to play.
“As we develop programs and servic-
es in Pickering, we’ll be able to bring in
more kids to our club,” Shelly Augustin
said in an interview.
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP
Wayne Arthurs announced recently,
on behalf of the minister of health
promotion, Jim Watson, the provincial
government is giving the PSC more
than $16,500 as part of its Commu-
nities in Action Fund (CIAF). The
program supports and helps provide
physical activity and sport participa-
tion across Ontario.
“CIAF grants are making it easier
for residents in this community to be-
come more active,” Mr. Arthurs said
in a press release. “These grants will
provide new and enhanced sport, rec-
reation and physical activity programs
that will improve the health and fitness
of local families.”
Ms. Augustin said the club is thank-
ful for the funding and, with about
4,200 members this season, could not
find room for another 500 kids, who
were placed on a waiting list.
“We just don’t have the fields to ac-
commodate the needs,” she said.
The funding will specifically go to
All Kids Play at the PSC, a program
designed to work with schools and
various community groups in order to
give kids who can’t normally afford to
play soccer an opportunity to do so by
covering the regular fees. Ms. Augustin
explained children will be identified
quietly, and parents will then be given
the opportunity to apply to give their
children an opportunity to play.
“We’ve put a group of people togeth-
er to help facilitate this,” Ms. Augustin
said. “This is the first time we’re run-
ning this program.”
A mentorship program for volun-
teer coaches will also be available to
provide opportunities to develop in-
house coaching skills.
“Our head coach can provide train-
ing for the coaches that are interested
and that will help ensure that the kids
are getting the training to support their
soccer aspirations,” she said.
Ms. Augustin also said some really
skilled kids don’t currently have the
means to advance from house league
to competitive soccer. For more infor-
mation on the PSC, visit www.picker-
ingsoccer.ca.

Home invasion
case goes to jury
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Holding aloft a hand-
gun and pointing to a photo of a
densely-built Ajax neighbourhood, a
Crown attorney told jurors Tuesday
the armed robbery of a drug dealer is
an offence against the entire commu-
nity.
“Why does it bother us if an admit-
ted drug dealer is robbed?” prosecutor
George Hendry said in summing up
his case against Jordan Peniston.
“By his picking up this gun and going
into this house, he put everyone in the
community in danger ... it’s an offence
that ripples across the community.”
Mr. Peniston, of Scarborough, was
charged with robbery, drug and weap-
ons offences after being apprehended
by Durham police officers respond-
ing to a report of a home invasion
at a home on Gurr Crescent on the
afternoon of Oct. 4, 2006. Police found
him to be in possession of a semi-auto-
matic handgun and a bag packed with
drugs and identification taken from
one of the victims, jurors have heard.
“He’s caught red-handed,” Mr. Hen-
dry said in his closing address to jurors
Tuesday in Whitby. “The evidence in
this case is overwhelming.”
During the trial jurors heard from a
number of cops who described seeing
Mr. Peniston emerge from the house,
clutching a gun and carrying a gym
bag, and of his fleeing on foot through
the neighbourhood in the area of Ross-
land and Westney roads.
Also testifying were two brothers,

Melissa Fryer-Wilson and Kaarina Losey tag a butterfly prior to releasing it at a seminar for teachers throughout Ontario. They were
learning how to use the monarch butterflies as a teaching tool.
Lessons and techniques
provided to help interest
kids in nature
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Even as a little kid,
Jody-Lynn Routenburg-Evans would
collect caterpillars with a mason jar
and watch as they magically became
butterflies.
Now as one of the teachers who
recently participated in the Monarch
Teacher Network Canada’s workshop
at Beau Valley Public School in Osha-
wa, she’s planning on spreading some
of her love for butterflies to students
this fall.
“It’s magic,” said Ms. Routenburg-
Evans of the caterpillars’ evolution. “I
don’t care how many times you see it,
it’s magic.”
At her Owen Sound school, she’ll
bring caterpillars into her class and
try to get other teachers on board for
building a butterfly garden. Her stu-
dents will also be doing a unit on mon-
archs.
“Children do learn how to be more
empathic,” said Patricia Cota, a Mon-
arch Teacher Network Canada co-or-
dinator. “When they’re learning how
to care for butterflies, they’re learning
how to care for each other.”
The three-day program teaches par-
ticipants about the life cycle of mon-
archs, ecology, conservation, how to
raise and tag them, curricular lessons,
and how to develop a school butterfly
garden.
During Aug. 1, day two of the work-
shop, teachers learned how to tag and
release butterflies.
“It mimics what we do in the fall
with the children,” said Ms. Cota, be-
fore leaving the Oshawa school’s gym
decorated in construction paper mon-
archs, book tables, butterfly project
displays, potted milkweeds, and netted
monarchs. Outside, the group headed
toward an open grassy area for the big
release.
There, they formed a cir-
cle and chanted what they
would with the students dur-
ing the fall: “Gotta go, gotta
go, gotta go to Mexico.”
“However, these ones are
not going to Mexico,” said Anne Pow-
ers, also a co-ordinator for Monarch
Teacher Network Canada.
“Think about where you want to re-
lease them... ideally in a garden,” said
Ms. Powers.
In an attempt to get the butterflies
to stick around, Ms. Cota chilled them
first using a cooler, ice-packs and tow-
els, and envelopes. The process is not
harmful and replicates what happens
at night. By using sugar water equal to
natural nectar, they can sometimes get
the butterflies to land on people before
flying away.
“Does anyone have a birthday in
August?” asked Ms. Cota. Those who
did were invited to dab on some sugar
water to try and get the butterfly to
land on them. After watching many
quickly fly away, one person was lucky
enough to have one land on their nose
before it made its way high into the
clear blue sky.
A field trip to the
south Oshawa marsh was
planned for the afternoon to
show teachers different milk-
weeds and what butterfly
eggs look like – white foot-
balls with ridges.
Made up of volunteers, the network’s
goal is to connect teachers and kids
with nature.
“I think the monarch butterfly is a
symbol of some complex conservation
issues we have,” said Ms. Powers. She
hopes the program will inspire teach-
ers to bring what they learned into
class and spread it to the kids so they
can understand and care about the
world around them.
The workshop featured about 50
teachers, mostly from Durham Region,
and each with about 20 students in
their class, said Ms. Powers.

Fast facts
• During its first 10-14 days as a caterpillar, the monarch gains 2,700 times its
original weight
• Monarchs taste with the bottom of their feet
• In late summer/fall, they migrate to Mexico for the winter and live about nine
months
• Adult monarchs born in the summertime, only live two to six weeks; their job is
to mate
• Males have a black dot on a vein on their hind wings, females don’t
• During migration, they travel up to 80 kilometres a day at speeds of 15 to 50 km
per hour
• They reach Mexico around Nov. 1, its ‘Day of the Dead’; Mexicans believe the
butterflies carry their ancestors’ souls
• Monarchs are poisonous because they eat milkweed

cruiser for the winter months, he’ll
park at hot spots and walk around be-
cause he’s learned that’s a great way to

“Now we realize it’s a great oppor-

added the bikes allow them to be 100

Plus, they both agree it’s an excellent

“We’re far more fit than if we were
driving around in the cruiser,” Const.
Tucker said.
They encourage anyone who sees

one of them a drug dealer who was
convicted and did jail time for drug
possession after the robbery. Mr. Hen-
dry said the fact the men called 911
and gave statements to police, even
though they were in possession of
drugs, proves they were robbed and
terrified by a gunman.
“They called police for one reason
and one reason only: they feared for
their lives,” he said.
Defence lawyer Gabriella Ruta
urged jurors to find the 20-year-old
Mr. Peniston not guilty, citing incon-
sistent testimony from police officers,
and “ludicrous” evidence from the al-
leged victims.
Testimony heard from the dealer in
court, she said, was “absurd”.
“In my opinion, it’s fabricated,” Ms.
Ruta said.
Jurors were expected to begin de-
liberations Wednesday, after receiving
instructions from Superior Court Jus-
tice David Salmers.

DURHAM — Jim Flaherty joined fi-
nance ministers from 20 other coun-
tries on Australia’s Sunshine Coast
this week to discuss climate change,
energy security and world finances at
the annual Asia Pacific Economic Co-
operation meeting.
“The group around the table here
represents about half the GDP of the
world and about half the population of
the world,” said Canada’s finance min-
ister and the MP for Whitby-Oshawa.
“There is also a good mix of developed
countries and emerging economies
here so the discussions are very bal-
anced.”
The APEC countries consist of those
surrounding the Pacific Ocean, includ-
ing China, the United States, and Rus-
sia, and discussions focus on matters
that promote economic policy and
liberal trade along the Pacific Rim.
The focus this year rested mostly on
climate change -- a discussion lead by
Canada.
Mr. Flaherty said the meeting
touched on energy, the economy and
the environment and “about what we
are doing in Canada to regulate emis-
sions and to reduce air pollution.”
Although no resolution was reached
during the five-day meeting, Mr. Fla-
herty said the discussions were posi-
tive.
“I can say that there’s a general con-
sensus that we need to have market
mechanisms in place to deal with car-
bon trading,” he said.
In essence, Mr. Flaherty is speaking
about a carbon market: as industry is
forced to reduce greenhouse gas emis-
sions through regulations and stan-
dards, those unable to meet targets
will turn to the market to buy credits,
thus buying themselves more time to
comply.
“We are going to start with the do-
mestic carbon market in Canada, we’ve
already announced that,” Mr. Flaherty
said. “We look forward over time to ex-
panding that market in North America
with the United States and hopefully,
eventually, with Mexico.”
The consensus at APEC, Mr. Fla-
herty said, is that the use of markets is
an effective way to make progress on
the issue of emission reductions.
Seeing the group of countries have
a frank discussion on climate change
was one of key goals Mr. Flaherty had
when he travelled to Australia for the
meetings.
“It is absolutely imperative to have
international co-operation on this
subject because we share the planet
and there’s no point in some countries
moving forward with standards and
enforcement of those standards un-
less we co-operate with each other
around the world,” he said. “There’s
not much point in closing coal-fire
plants in some parts of the world and
having new ones open in other parts
of the world. That’s why we need to
coordinate and talk to each other.”

Greater Toronto Area
expects 40,000 more
students in next 15 years
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A 40,000 student growth
spurt for the Greater Toronto Area is 15
years away, but the University of On-
tario Institute of Technology (UOIT) is
already discussing preparation.
The Oshawa school’s president is
involved in talks with those from the
University of Toronto, York University,
and Ryerson, on solutions for coping
with the unexpected growth, driven by
immigrants to the GTA with a desire
for higher education.
“I think the purpose of the conversa-
tions the universities have been having
is to try and manage the growth and
figure out how to respond,” said Rich-
ard Levin, vice president of enrolment
management for UOIT.
“It’s great news people are already
sitting down to plan for this,” he said,
and added, usually there’s a scurry to
accommodate bursts of students.
Among the ideas presented is push-
ing for better transit from Toronto to
UOIT in Oshawa, and for a univer-
sity outside the GTA to open a satellite
campus in Toronto and take some of
the undergraduate load.
Regarding transportation improve-
ments, Mr. Levin said it’s certainly
worth looking into. Currently, there’s
a bit of a chicken and egg situation,
he said – if the transit is not great they
may not be getting as many students
from Toronto.
“Right now we’re not getting a lot
of students from the core of Toronto,”
said Mr. Levin. “It’s hard to know with-
out transportation in place.”
The GO train and bus are available
now, he said.
Toronto already has plenty of close
post-secondary options available, but
if they get too full, students may start
looking elsewhere for university.
Although the spurt is a few year’s
away, UOIT’s enrolment has been
growing continually since the double
cohort, which saw the final group of
Ontario Academic Credits (OAC) stu-
dents graduate with the new curricu-
lum crop of Grade 12 kids. Mr. Levin
said more people are going to univer-
sity and over the next seven or eight
years, there’s continued growth pro-
jected amongst the 18- to 21 year-old
population in the GTA.
Mr. Levin said UOIT is excited about
the role it can play in accommodating
future growth.
“We aren’t constrained by land like
some other universities in the GTA,”
said Mr. Levin. He added the campus
would need to expand to accommo-
date more growth. Already, UOIT has
filled the space in its buildings.
“If we’re talking about 40,000 stu-
dents in the GTA over the next 15 years,
clearly there’s a lot of building that’s
going to have to happen and not just
here,” said Mr. Levin, adding faculty
would also need to be recruited.
The university does enrolment pro-
jections every year, but long-term ones
occur less frequently. Right now, it’s
still discussing what growth targets
should be, said Mr. Levin. The Prov-
ince funds universities for a certain
amount of students. To go beyond the
amount would affect quality because
the school would only receive tuition
for them.
UOIT has ongoing conversations
with the Province about more space
and capital funding, said Mr. Levin. In
the meantime, it’s able to accommo-
date the students it has now and the
school has a “little bit of room to grow.”
It should be fine for this year and next
if it’s not hit by a growth spurt, but after
that, UOIT may have to limit its first-
year entrance.
AJAX — Town firefighters will be
aiming their hoses elsewhere on Aug.
11.
Ajax firefighters are hosting a char-
ity car wash and barbecue, with all
proceeds going to fight breast cancer.
“An estimated 22,000 Canadian
women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer this year, and more than 5,000
will die from it,” says event organizer
and firefighter Jim O’Hara.
“We want to increase awareness
of this disease and raise money to
fund vital Canadian research into im-
proving the detection, prevention and
treatment of breast cancer, and to
ultimately find a cure.”
The event is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart
store, at the corner of Hwy. 2 and
Salem Road.

The event is on Saturday, Aug. 11
from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the business
is at 85 Westney Rd. S., opposite the
GO station parking lot, in Ajax. In ad-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let’s look at all
waste alternatives
To the editor:
I read with interest that
our politicians have returned
from their second boondoggle
to Europe in regards to incin-
eration.
I have not heard anything
about any boondoggle trips
to San Francisco or Halifax
or Edmonton to observe how
communities committed to
zero waste and effective re-
cycling programs have imple-
mented their systems.
One could conclude that
our politicians have already
made up their mind without
seriously considering the al-
ternatives and are merely
looking for ways to ‘sell’ their
decision to the public.
We need open, frank debate
about the pros and cons of all
waste-handling alternatives.
Our politicians seem deter-
mined to only consider in-
cineration and ignore other
possible solutions.
Also, sadly, after some good
balanced reporting on this
issue, it appears This Week
has again jumped on the in-
cineration bandwagon by
reverting to the misleading
“Energy From Waste” termi-
nology instead of the more
apt “incineration” and run-
ning what can only be called
an incineration promo piece
not once but at least twice
(Region returns confident in
technology).
I hope in the future to see
much more reporting on in-
cineration alternatives from
the News Advertiser, since
we’re not getting it from our
politicians.

Foreign vs. domestic
car debate confusing
To the editor:
There have been a lot of let-
ters the last few months about
“domestic” vs. “foreign” cars.
I can’t help but wonder if
the definition of domestic
is different from my under-
standing of it.
What car companies are Ca-
nadian owned? GM and Ford
are American. I believe Chrys-
ler is German. What makes
these foreign-owned compa-
nies domestic and good, but
Toyota, Honda, etc., foreign
and bad?
I understand GM hires
many people who live in Dur-
ham, but a lot of people living
in Durham rely on the “for-
eign” companies for their em-
ployment.
I used to own a Dodge.
Every time I went in for an oil
change (even in the car’s first
year) I was told that I needed
repairs and I had other issues
as well with the vehicle.
Now I have a Toyota. I have
32,000 kilometres on the car
in a year of ownership and
still no suggestion from the
dealership that I need any
type of repair work beyond
the recommended mainte-
nance.
The biggest difference I see
beyond the “domestic” car
I had and the “foreign” car
I now have is quality of the
product and quality of the
service.

Editorial exposed truth
To the editor:
Re: Grants program was out
of control, Editorial. Aug. 1
Thank you for publishing
an editorial which exposes
just how much our politicians
take from us to buy them-
selves votes.
This kind of runaway gov-
ernment would not be a prob-
lem in the first place if we
weren’t taxed to fund any spe-
cial interest programs, and in-
stead left it up to private citi-
zens to donate money to the
causes they feel are worthy.
Bureaucrats who spend tax
dollars on special causes are
not worthy of any merit. It’s
the equivalent of a bartender
who passes out free liquor to
customers. They expect some
great tips as a result from the
parties who benefit, but in the
long run their employer will
fire them.
Hopefully Ontario’s voters
will decide to fire the Liberal
government this fall.

IN THE COMMUNITY Taking love of reading to extreme
/4&
M y wife and I have
arrived at a some-
what delicate stage
of our romantic life. Our
children are no longer rosy-
cheeked cherubs who could
reliably be counted on to be
in bed, snoozing deeply, at
8 o’clock each evening. They
have grown, monstrously, to
the point where they are now
lumbering, energetic and
more importantly, insomniac
louts who routinely go to bed
later than us. And not just
minutes later than us. Hours
later than us.
Indeed, in these lax sum-
mer months of movie watch-
ing and party-going, the two
of them are often not in the
rack until well past midnight.
This situation, not at all con-
ducive to any greater intima-
cy than holding hands or the
odd goose, has completely
sandbagged us. Stupidly, we
never saw it coming and now
that it is here we are, it seems,
at a complete loss to adjust to
it.
Initially we tried out-wait-
ing them. The two of us lying
in bed reading for hours on
end, hoping to God the little
bastards would begin to feel
punk. All this did was vastly
increase our vocabulary. In
our desperate quest for even
a glimpse of physical togeth-
erness, we worked our way
through ‘War and Peace’, ‘The
Complete Works of William
Shakespeare’ and ‘The Big
Book of Inuit Humor’. No dice.
Each night ended the same
way. The boys happily and
energetically laughing in the
family room, Suzanne and I
comatose and drooling onto
our pillows, pinned to the bed
by the chest-crushing weight
of ‘Moby Dick’, ‘The Iliad’, or
Proust’s ‘Remembrance Of
Things Past’.
Driven by our ardor, we next
opted for what can best be de-
scribed as guerilla lovemak-
ing. Hastily taking advantage
of those rare and unanticipat-
ed moments of childless soli-
tude, striking while the iron is
hot, so to speak. But while the
iron may be and generally is
hot at a moment’s notice, the
same cannot always be said
for the female counterpart.
Women, as any man able to
sustain a relationship for lon-
ger than a six-pack will likely
attest, are akin to delicate,
stringed instruments. One
does not simply grab a vio-
lin and start sawing away. In
order to make the most beau-
tiful music there is a certain
amount of tuning that should
be done before the first bold
strokes of the orchestra kick
in. This takes time. And while,
yes, there are moments when
‘Turkey in the Straw’ will do
fine, most of us, I think, would
rather enjoy a full symphony.
As for our success in this en-
deavour, I will only say that it
is exceedingly difficult to even
approach Beethoven or De-
bussy with your pants around
your ankles and one eye on
the door.
And so we find ourselves
at a bit of a loss. To be sure,
this paucity of togetherness
makes those moments we do
manage to connect all the
more special, but there is
a threshold when the qual-
ity versus quantity thing be-
comes, frankly, a pain in the
ass. Personally I have arrived
at the point where I am con-
sidering a little St. John’s wort
in the children’s dinner milk.
I am also looking into where I
may purchase ether in whole-
sale quantities. If anyone has
a better suggestion, I will hap-
pily listen.

Bike patrols a
good fit for Durham
Police taking to two-wheelers
Durham police’s emphasis on patrolling our parks this summer
is an excellent initiative that will make our greenspaces safer
and more welcoming to those who use them most.
Like sweltering temperatures, youths partying in parks is a part of
summer in Durham -- an unwelcome part, especially for residents
who use or live near these areas. Drinking or doing drugs in greens-
paces might seem like minor offences compared to murders and
other high-profile crimes. But, if you live next to a park and have been
kept awake by noisy partiers, if you’ve awakened to find the garden on
which you’ve worked so hard trashed, or if you’ve taken your son or
daughter to a park only to find needles and broken bottles, these are
not small matters.
Enter Durham police officers on bicycles. The two-wheelers allow
them to go places where cruisers cannot go, including parks and
ravines, where youths bent on causing trouble think they are out of
the law’s reach. Think again. In Ajax and Pickering, two officers have
charged 135 people in six weeks. The element of surprise is key. No
one can mistake a marked cruiser approaching, but a bike is a differ-
ent story. It’s often not until the officers are right on top of an offender
that he or she realizes they are police. At that point, it’s too late.
“A gentleman that I arrested said the bikes work amazing,” Con-
stable Mike Brown said recently. “He had no idea who we were or
what we were doing.”
The response from law-abiding park users has been positive, and
there are tentative plans to double to four the number of officers on
bikes in west Durham next summer.
In Oshawa, following an increase in complaints about vandalism,
noise and drug use in greenspaces, police have re-deployed officers
to these areas, including cops on bikes and on foot. Working in
partnership with City parks staff, police will seek their input to get a
handle on where there are issues so officers can be directed to them.
We should say that the vast majority of our young people are law-
abiding citizens, people of whom we can be proud. It’s the minority
we’re talking about and, like most people who break the law, they
keep to the shadows to avoid detection. Kudos to police for shining
the light of justice on these people and, in the process, for under-
standing that these minor criminal offences cause major headaches
for Durham residents.
The program has already been successful and should be main-
tained and even expanded in future years.

Pledges to protect
homeowners, during
Pickering campaign stop
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A Progressive Conservative gov-
ernment would cap property assessment increas-
es to five per cent for as long as someone owns
their home.
Speaking outside the Municipal Property As-
sessment Corporation (MPAC) offices in Pickering
on Wednesday, PC leader John Tory said his par-
ty’s assessment pledge would offer “real protec-
tion, real commitment to protect homeowners.”
During the campaign stop, Mr. Tory was joined
by candidates Kevin Ashe (Ajax-Pickering), Diana
Hall (Pickering-Scarborough East), Jerry Ouel-
lette (Oshawa) and Tim Hudak (Erie-Lincoln),
who is also the party’s finance critic.
The last time properties were re-assessed, the
average increase in value was 12.7 per cent, Mr.
Tory stated, adding in Ajax, the average increase
was 11.29 per cent and in Whitby, 11.24 per cent.
The provincial government froze any further
re-assessments until 2008, after the election, Mr.
Tory noted. Future increases would be phased in
over four years. That, Mr. Tory said, would give
“seniors four years to pack their bags.
“The present system isn’t fair or respectful of
taxpayers,” he stated.
A PC government would make the system “fair
and understandable,” he said. “We will replace
the system if need be.”
Bob Topp, the chairman of the Coalition after
Property Tax Reform, also attended the event,
saying, “It’s not a new announcement. But, we
fully support it. We’ve been calling for a cap.”
The cap has been part of the PC’s platform
for 18 months, Mr. Topp stated. “We’re 100 per
cent behind it.” Other planks in the PC platform
on property assessment include implementing a
‘reverse onus’ appeal system. Under the current
system, when a homeowner appeals their as-
sessment, “the onus is on them to prove they’re
right and not on the government to prove they’re
wrong,” Mr. Tory said.
MPAC would have to justify an assessment in-
crease, he added.
In March of 2006, the Ontario Ombudsman
released a report on MPAC that included 22 rec-
ommendations on how to improve the system. In
June of last year, the government announced a
two-year freeze on property assessment changes.
When asked what the impact would be of the
PC proposals, Mr. Tory said, “Property owners
will see some degree of stability.”
The five-per cent cap means “people would
have protection if there’s volatility in the mar-
ketplace,” he stated, adding homeowners “fear
dramatic increases that force them out of their
homes.”

Canadian Idol girls unite in ‘Braided’

Solo show revives painter’s creativity
By Marva Palmer
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — During her two-year
tenure as president of Ajax Creative
Arts, Pamela Auguste was losing her
desire to paint and, though she kept
working with pen and ink, she won-
dered if she would ever paint again.
Auguste is a member of the Ajax
Recreation, Arts and Culture Advisory
Committee, Durham West Arts Centre,
PineRidge Arts Council and immedi-
ate past-president of the Ajax Creative
Arts. She is also a volunteer gardener
for Pickering Museum Village and an
avid photographer.
“If you stop painting, you stop think-
ing about it, you stop dreaming about
it. It’s not the skill, it’s the wish some-
how that sort of goes,” said Auguste.
She could feel the desire gradually
going despite her encouraging self-
talk.
“I’d take stuff with me (to the art
club) and I wouldn’t do it. I’d tidy
again. I’m a tidy freak. I was joking one
day and said if you want to write some-
thing about me, write “‘As president
she kept everything neat,’” she joked.
Luckily for her, she was compelled to
start painting when the PineRidge Arts
Council selected her as a feature artist
this year.
“Out of the blue, PineRidge Arts
Council sent me this letter telling me
I’ve got the show and they’ve put me
in for this year’s artist and would I like
to pick my time. I thought, ‘oh dear,
I’ve got to paint’. And like a mad thing I
started thinking and planning.”
Auguste’s work includes oil, pastel,
acrylic, and mixed media paintings of
places in Spain and parts of Ontario,
including Ajax and Pickering.
Gwen Williams, a member of the
PineRidge Arts Council Executive and
exhibit co-ordinator, said work is cho-
sen by merit and how it will appeal to
the public.
Of all the paintings on display, ‘Me-
dieval Town’ is Ajax resident Melissa
Roa’s favorite.
“It’s cozy and quaint,” said Roa.
“It looks cool and nice but not scary.
When I think of medieval towns, I
think dungeons and dark, but this one
is comfortable and familiar. I love what
she did with the shadows.”
A retired nurse, Auguste said she’s
always painted. At times, painting was
a stress-reliever.
“I’d be worked up with what went
on during the day. I had to calm down
and the easiest way to calm down was
to spend half an hour working on a
painting before I went to bed. It would
just calm me,” she said.
Her solo exhibit of painting and
photographs at the McLean Commu-
nity Centre has just completed its run.

ber, Emilie-Claire Barlow, Lori Cul-
len, Shakura S’Aida and Liberty Sil-
ver.

of the city’s “jewels of jazz.” She’s
performed throughout Canada and
the United States, Cuba, South Africa
and Australia.
It’s Garber’s second performance
at the Oshawa festival. She per-
formed last year and received a
standing ovation.
Cullen is an acoustic guitar player,
singer, songwriter and leader of a
jazz quintet. She performs with folk/
pop performers as well as jazz. She’s
released several CDs, including
‘Calling For Rain’, which was nomi-
nated for a 2006 JUNO.
She’s been singing, writing and
playing guitar for more than 10 years.
A new recording of upbeat songs
performed with the True North brass
quintet is due to be released this

Green Festival highlights Pickering,
area’s top-notch farmland with art, music
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Once you pave
over an acre of land, you’ll never be
able to grow food on it again, said
an organizer of the Pickering Green
Festival.
“We are in a unique situation
where we sit on A-1 farmland up
here on the agricultural preserve
and the area just to the north of it,”
Steve Graham said.
“There’s very little A-1 land re-
maining.”
In its second year, the Pickering
Green Festival hopes to raise aware-
ness of the importance of preserving
Pickering’s green space on Saturday,
Aug. 11.
The undeveloped land links the
Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario,
and the event is at the Herongate
Barn Theatre, which is located on
the land.
Art by the PineRidge Arts Coun-
cil, including sculptor Dorsey James,
and an evening concert by The
Gypsygrass Band, a folk-rock band,
provides some entertainment.
A showing of Peter Shatalow’s Last
Stand, a documentary about the pro-
posed Pickering airport, food, en-
vironmental booths and an auction
organized by the Durham West Arts
Centre are also on the list.
“We’ve got some terrific prizes,”
Mr. Graham said.
“Items have been donated by a
number of different companies.”
Prizes include solar panels from
Canadian Tire, gift cards from Wal-
Mart, Staples, Bowring, and a gift
basket from Vandermeer Nursery
Ltd.
Money raised from the auction
will go toward the Durham West Arts
Centre.
All other proceeds will go toward
the festival, keeping awareness alive,
and various groups, such as Land
Over Landings, that fight for green
initiatives.
“It’s a nice little community of
people that are a little more green-
minded than perhaps the develop-
ment end,” he said.
Mr. Graham mentioned many
Pickering residents don’t even real-
ize the great greenspace right at their
fingertips.
“So by attending the event, they
gain an awareness of what’s just
north of them and some of the rec-
reational opportunities that are up
here,” he said.
“We’ve got the Seaton Hiking Trail
and a beautiful drive through the
area as well.”
The festival runs from 4 p.m. to
midnight.
It begins with a showing of Last
Stand at 4 p.m., at a charge of $5.
From 5 to 8 p.m., environmental
booths, and creative works will be on
display, and admission is free.
At 8 p.m., the Gypsygrass Band
will put on a show; tickets are $20
for adults and $15 for students and
seniors. Seating is limited.
The Herongate Barn Theatre is lo-
cated at 2885 Altona Rd. in Pickering.

Rock definitely in a hard place against Woodies
Trails Owen Sound
in lacrosse series
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering
Rock’s aspirations for an Ontario cham-
pionship are going, going...
...and could be gone, pending the out-
come of Game 3 in the best-of-five final
series against the Owen Sound Woods-
men at the Harry Lumley Bayshore
Community Centre in Owen Sound on
Tuesday night. The result wasn’t avail-
able at press time.
The Wood-
ies took an
emphatic
two-games-
to-none lead
in the series
with a com-
fortable 10-5 victory in Game 2 over the
Rock at the Pickering Recreation Com-
plex on Sunday night. For Owen Sound,
Sunday’s win represented its fifth post-
season victory in a row.
The Rock erased two, two-goal defi-
cits, during Sunday night’s playoff con-
test but, on both occasions, Owen Sound
was able to rebound and regain the lead.
The Woodies then reeled off three con-
secutive third-period markers to put the
game on ice, thus placing Ajax-Pickering
in a precarious predicament in the se-
ries.
In a contest where the Woodsmen
simply wanted to win more than the host
Rock, Ajax-Pickering head coach Paul St.
John tipped his hat to the Woodsmen,
which were all over the floor all night.
“They played well again. They’re a
team that knew from the first game of
the year they would be hosting the Presi-
dents Cup (Canadian championship)
and they set a goal to win it (the Ontario
title) and not just get into the Presidents
Cup as hosts. You’ve got to give them full
marks. They came in here prepared to
play and we weren’t, which is shocking
to say the least.”
Most frustrating for St. John was the
lack of effort that manifested itself in the
huge advantage Owen Sound enjoyed in
getting to loose balls. And, on at least two
occasions, the Woodsmen turned those
hustle plays into goals.
“Our guys weren’t hungry. Owen
Sound played our game tonight,” says
St. John. “They intimidated us with their
smart plays, with good passes and with
getting to loose balls. They got to the ball
every time tonight.”
The huge Owen Sound advantage in
loose balls, says St. John, could have
been mitigated to a large degree with
captain and catalyst Jim Veltman in the
lineup. Veltman, however, is unavailable
due to a family vacation.
“It’s really hurt us,” noted St. John.
His brother, John, is also unavailable
for the series.
The goaltending definitely favoured
Owen Sound and starter Mike Atwood,
who outplayed starter Steve Dietrich
and later Mike Miron, who came on in
relief of Dietrich at the 8:13 mark of the
first period after Dietrich was beaten
for three successive goals after the Rock
opened the scoring.
Although the Dietrich-Miron combo
has been consistently solid between the
pipes throughout the Rock’s post-season
run, neither ball stopper was able to
stem the Owen Sound tide of goals on
Sunday night.
Chris Parkin, Jamie Plunkett and Josh
Black each counted a goal and an as-
sist for the Rock. Ryan McMichael and
Wayne Burke were the other goal scor-
ers.
Tyler Gibbons led the Woodies with
two goals and three assists.

McLean). Plunkett passes to a cutting
Burke, who fires it past Atwood.
Woodsmen, 17:42: Gibbons (unas-
sisted). Gets to loose ball, beats Rock
goaltender Mike Miron.
Rock, 15:55: Black (Chris Parkin,
Mike Daley). Black fires long, low shot
that finds the mark.

by, Gibbons). Grimoldby passes from

times shot past Miron.

wood). Witte finishes scoring for Owen
Sound.
DURHAM — After winning six con-
secutive post-season games prior to
the OLA Senior ‘B’ lacrosse final se-
ries against Owen Sound, the Rock has
definitely hit a rut in the road.
The Ajax-Pickering senior B’s lost
its opening two games of the best-of-
five series against the Woodsmen. The
Rock dropped the series opener 6-3 in
Owen Sound last Thursday night and,
on Sunday, were beaten 10-5 on its
home floor in Pickering.
And, as of Tuesday’s Game 3, the Rock
was in danger of being swept out of the
league final playoff series.
What has hands scratching heads
is the Rock are in the final against an
Owen Sound squad that is, arguably,
weaker than the powerhouses the Rock
met in the opening two playoff rounds.
The Rock had a big hand in putting
defending league and Presidents Cup
(Canadian) champion Wellington Aces
on the sidelines, and also beat an ex-
tremely solid Mohawk Stars in a three-
game sweep in the semifinal series.
So, what gives?
Ajax-Pickering head coach/gen-
eral manager Paul St. John believes a
certain amount of malaise has set in,
owing to the fact the Rock has already
earned a Presidents Cup berth as the
second Ontario team at the national
championship in Owen Sound from
Aug. 20 to 25.
In fact, he goes as far as to say his
preaching about entering the Canadi-
ans through the front door as Ontario
champs has largely fallen on deaf ears.
“It’s a frustrating thing for the coach-
ing staff because we want to win. Win-
ning is not something you turn on and
off. We’re very complacent right now.
We’re not doing the things we were
doing in the first two rounds.
“We don’t want to just get into the
Presidents Cup; we want to go in as
Ontario champions.”
St. John says Rock captain Jim Velt-
man and his leadership have been
sorely missed in the final series.
Veltman has taken a scheduled fam-
ily vacation and is unavailable for the
final series.
“Honestly, it’s killing us,” says St.
John.
“The guys, and no disrespect to (act-
ing captain) Tim O’Brien, are looking to
Jimmy and he’s not here. It’s frustrating
for Tim because he’s a good leader.”
Co mplacency cause of Rock’s lacklustre start?
Local club’s popularity
continues to grow
In this sport, men
and women take
the field together
By Shawn Cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The Durham Ultimate
Club has found the real meaning to the
term “team sport.”
The 30-team, four-division, 450-plus
member league that began as a small
gathering of 10 teams just seven years
ago, has jumped into the middle of the
Durham sporting world, becoming one
of the more popular clubs around.
“I do not do any advertising anymore
as we do not have enough fields to sup-
port more than 32 teams,” says club
president Kevin McLeod.
The club does a phenomenal job of
living up to its “team sport” moniker.
It had 28 ultimate frisbee teams regis-
ter for play this season and another two
were put together after individual reg-
istration. The teams are mixed together
with men and women. While there is
no minimum age, players in the adult
league generally are 28 years of age and
up.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect
however, comes in the policing of the
game.
Players do it themselves, says
McLeod.
“This may seem hard to believe but
it works quite effectively,” he says. “The
fact that the teams are coed is also a key
aspect of the game. One of the under-
lining principles of ultimate is that all
players play with what is called ‘Spirit
of the Game.’ What this means is that all
players will respect their fellow players
and play within the rules. And for some
reason we tend to attract the type of
players who abide by this rule. We don’t
seem to get any hotheads -- or at least
very few that you might see in some of
the other sports.”
So what exactly is ultimate frisbee
you ask?
Well, here is the definition from the
club’s website: Ultimate is a high-en-
ergy sport that combines the best as-
pects of sport. Ultimate players out run,
out jump, out throw, out catch, and out
think their opponents all while showing
a healthy respect for the spirit of sports-
manship.
Essentially it is a non-contact field
sport, where two teams of seven play-
ers aside go head-to-head on a 70-yard
field. Each end zone span 25 yards.
The object of the game is for a team to
pass the disc from player to player, all
the way up the field and catch the disc
in the opponent’s end zone, scoring a
point, much like football.
However, where it’s much different is
that the players can’t run with the disc,
but must plant a pivot foot and throw
it to a teammate within the 10-second
limit.
At a recent Ultimate Charity Tourna-
ment at Eastdale Collegiate, all funds
raised went to the Durham Children’s
Aid Foundation.

Tinkl tinkers in
the fine art of
making things
Durham artist’s work
can be found in
collections across Canada
DURHAM — Viktor Tinkl likes mak-
ing things.
He especially likes making art, some
of which you can see at the Robert
McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa this
summer.
The Sunderland resident refers to
himself as a Thing Maker and speaks
of his artistic process as externalizing
what’s inside of him.
He accumulates materials and then
uses them in his art, which has been
shown over the last 40 years in various
venues.
The gallery exhibit focuses on two
central pieces, The Meeting, done in
1999, and Circle, 2006. Both have a
theme of a gathering of characters. As
well as sculptures, there are some of his
drawings.
He studied painting in Germany and
drawing and painting at the Ontario
College of Art. His works have been
shown throughout Ontario and can be
found in collections across Canada. His
house and property are decorated with
his fantasy figures and structures.
The exhibit runs until Sept. 9.
Another exhibit on now is Reading
the Image: Poetics of the Black Dias-
pora, which combines works by two
Canadian artists (Deanna Bowen and
Michael Fernandes), a Trinidadian art-
ist (Christopher Cozier) and one from
Scotland (Maud Sulter).
The exhibit examines issues of how
blackness is represented in art. The art-
ists also look at the roles of black people
and their relationship to a host of things,
including the development of the mod-
ern world, the history of Christianity,
community and racial formation.
The artists critique dominant histo-
ries and stories and create their own.
The result is a conversation about the
desire for personal and collective per-
sonhood.
Diaspora refers to the forced reloca-
tion of peoples and ethnic groups from
traditional homelands, their dispersal
to other parts of the world and the
cultural, social, economic and political
development that results.
The term is often linked to descen-
dants of Africans who were forced into
slavery and sent to Europe, North and
South America and the Caribbean.
A talk by the curator, Andrea Fatona,
will be given Aug. 16 at 7 p.m.
Also at the gallery is Heavy Metal, a
look at the development of Oshawa’s
iron and steel industry through pictures
from the Thomas Bouckley Collection.
This runs until Sept. 2.
The gallery is at 72 Queen St. For
hours, go to www.rmg.on.ca.

Viktor Tinkl and his wife Judith attended the opening of his exhibit, ‘Making Things’. The
show runs until Sept. 9 at Oshawa’s Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
