In June, Durham Regional Police ar- rested the man and used a search war- rant at his Power Valley Drive home in Ajax, which confirmed an advance- fee loan scam. According to police, at least 22 Americans were affected by the scam, which advertised loans and used fraudulent websites to attract people with high-risk credit. Police suspect the man or an ac- complice made requests for security payments to be forwarded by electric money transfer and if they were suc- cessful, more money was asked for until the victim became suspicious or could no longer pay. They believe the scam has been operating since 2005. Police began investigating the ac- cused for fraud in May after an in- surance company reported a man obtained car insurance with a false name. Mark Augustus Malcolm, 28, of Pow- ers Valley Drive in Ajax is charged with 22 counts of fraud under $5,000, two counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of utter forged document, three counts each of obstruct police and ob- struct justice, and fail to comply with probation. He was held for bail and released on recognizance. His assets were seized pending a judicial review. Police said several aliases were used, including Tony Wayne Richard- son of Scarborough and Martin Smith of Toronto, and several false financial company websites created using the names Delmar Financial, Technical Financial, Protective Financial, Hilton Financial, Nationex Financial, and Vi- tech Financial. Anyone with information about the investigation can call police at 1- 888-579-1520 ext. 5279 or Crime Stop- pers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Truck slams into car then livestock trailer; driver seriously injured Eastbound lanes closed for almost three hours By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com AJAX — A tractor-trailer that po- lice say failed to slow for Hwy. 401 construction caused a serious acci- dent in Ajax Tuesday. According to OPP Sergeant Cam Woolley, a tractor-trailer, livestock trailer, car and minivan were in- volved in the accident that closed all eastbound lanes through Pickering and Ajax for more than two hours. The accident, which occurred just after 1 p.m at Harwood Avenue, was triggered when Sgt. Woolley said a tractor-trailer in the eastbound lanes failed to slow with the traffic for construction. Sgt. Woolley said when the trac- tor-trailer, driv- ing at about the posted speed limit, didn’t slow it slammed into the back of a Volk- swagen Jetta. On impact, he said the Volkswagen spun backwards into a guardrail. The tractor-trailer then hit a livestock trailer, which luckily was carrying no cows at the time. “That caused the truck and trailer to jackknife, basically ripping the trailer in half,” Sgt. Woolley said, adding the truck then hit a minivan. The driver of the tractor-trailer was seriously injured, Sgt. Woolley said. Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices had to extricate the driver from the rig. “An air ambulance was called in, but couldn’t land due to buffeting winds,” he said. “So he (the driver) was taken by land ambulance to the hospital in Ajax.” The two occupants of the Volkswagen were also taken to the Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Sgt. Woolley said. The driver of the livestock vehicle and the occupants of the minivan, including two children, were shak- en, but suffered no injuries, he said. All lanes were reopened to traffic just before 3:30 p.m. By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s back. A nearly West Nile-free summer was shattered this week with the Region’s first positive test result for the virus. The Region’s health department received confirmation a dead crow picked up in Pickering was positive for West Nile virus, according to Laura Freeland, a manager of environmental health with the Region. The bird was picked up during the week of Aug. 13 and submitted for testing to the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre (CCWHC) in Guelph on Aug. 17. In 2006, the first positive test was on Aug. 1. “This is the latest we’ve had a posi- tive result for a bird,” Ms. Freeland said. “Generally in the province it seems they are occurring later in the season.” It’s very difficult to say what led to the slow start this season, according to Ms. Freeland. She said it would be difficult to say if initiatives encourag- ing residents to remove areas of stand- ing water where mosquitoes can breed and teaching precautions against bites have impacted area mosquito popula- tions and incidents of West Nile. She did say fewer birds have been West Nile virus hits Durham Region Fast facts • Durham’s health department advises residents to take precautions to help re- duce the risk of mosquito bites: • Take extra precautions from dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most active • Use a mosquito repellent that contains DEET • Wear light-coloured clothing, including long sleeves, pants, socks and a hat to cover exposed skin • Make sure all windows and doors in the home have tight-fitting screens and are in good condition • Get rid of stagnant water that remains for more than a week around the outside of the home to help eliminate potential breeding sites ✦ See Virus, Page A2 Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo The OPP says the driver of this tractor-trailer failed to slow for construction, leading to a chain-reaction accident on Hwy. 401 at Harwood Avenue in Ajax Tuesday afternoon.

For more on this story Canadian National and Pickering officials meet to discuss the tracks By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A Canadian Nation- al representative says ensuring the safety of its rails is not only a liability issue, but also good for business. “At the end of the day, if we have a derailment, we have to shut down and can’t run trains and we’re in business to do that,” said Frank Binder, CN public affairs regional manager. Pickering councillors Bill McLean, Doug Dickerson, Bonnie Littley and Jennifer O’Connell met with CN rep- resentatives at the tracks - which carry strictly freight trains - at Twyn Rivers Drive and Woodview Avenue (York Sub tracks) to gauge the safety of Pickering’s tracks. The meeting was a result of the train derailment in Pickering last March. Although the cause is still under investigation, CN representa- tives answered a number of questions surrounding track safety and mainte- nance. “I think we all walked out of there with a comfortable feeling that they are responsible for the citizens and they are concerned about our issues, and that safety is No. 1 on their man- date,” Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said. Coun. McLean was also concerned about the lack of communication be- tween City staff and CN. When the derailment occurred, as acting mayor at the time, he felt pushed aside. Mr. Binder admitted CN “dropped the ball” in that situation, but said they were most concerned with police and fire crews on the scene first and fore- most. He said that should not dis- count politicians’ importance and their emergency numbers are now in a contact database. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell raised resident complaints regarding noise, especially whistle blowing late at night. Nick Coleman, CN manager of community planning and development of railway proper- ties, said whistles are usually blown at night in order to ensure safety on the tracks, especially when maintenance crews are at work. CN Eastern Region GTA manager of engineering, Gilbert Collin, explained trains are louder when they go uphill - as is the case in the meeting location. Mr. Binder said guidelines suggest- ing the proximity of homes to tracks do exist, and while CN has set stan- dards, it can’t force municipalities to co-operate. “What we recommend is that homes are built back at least 30 metres from the property line and that a two-metre berm be placed on the property line to mitigate noise,” he said. He added most complaints come from people who do not follow these guidelines. Mr. Binder said engineers’ speeds are monitored by their super- visors with regular “ride-alongs” and radar guns, and can experience con- sequences as strict as dismissal. “But then on top of all that, we are regulated by Transport Canada of- ficials,” he said. “They are mandated also to do inspections on our speed and the way they operate on rails. And indirectly, they have the right to shut us down.” Also, Mr. Binder explained when the tracks were built in 1961 to 1962, land along the CN line was farmland. “We moved it outside the commu- nity,” he said. “But then Pickering grew.” Coun. O’Connell also mentioned concerns regarding foundation cracks to homes in the area from train vibra- tions. Mr. Coleman explained the vibra- tions mostly come from joints, and they try to remove them whenever possible. But he said foundation cracks as a result of vibrations are impossible. Mr. Collin said CN imposes strict safety guidelines and said “we exceed that in every shape and form.” Mr. Binder explained the track ge- ometry car runs four times per year, measuring not only the tracks, but the ballast and surrounding landscape. A “Sperry car” runs 10 times per year and looks, by ultrasound, for defaults in the actual rail that are not visible to the eye. A high-rail vehicle rides the tracks at least twice per week, where track inspectors also get out and walk the tracks themselves.

Although no mosquitoes have tested positive this season, the first positive test in a bird indicates that West Nile virus activity is alive in Durham Re- gion, and Ms. Freeland reminds resi- dents to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites. “The main thing is just because we haven’t had so many positive results it doesn’t mean that West Nile virus has disappeared or that people shouldn’t take precautions against mosquito bites,” Ms. Freeland said. The disease is passed from mosqui- toes to birds and spreads to humans through bites from infected mosqui- toes. It is not known to spread from person to person.

PAGE A3 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ August 22, 2007 A/P By Chris Glover chrisglover@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Durham Region’s cultural diversity was on display Sat- urday in Pickering. Members of the Indo Canadian Cultural Association of Durham (ICCAD) organized a celebration for India’s 60th year of independence. Mayor Dave Ryan was among the guests at the event. Mayor Ryan said celebrating India means a lot to the community as a whole. “It is extremely important that we recognize the multiculturalism and diversity within our municipality,” he said. “And this is just one of the many ways that we go about doing that.” Mayor Ryan was touched as he looked out into the crowd of people from dif- ferent cultural backgrounds all in support of India’s special anniversary. “It’s not just the South Asian com- munity that’s here, it’s the whole community... and I think it is reflec- tive of this municipality that so many people from the broader commu- nity are coming out to partake in the event,” he said. The event began with a flag-raising ceremony in front of the Pickering Civic Centre. As the Indian flag soared in the sky, the Canadian and Indian national anthems were sung by the hundreds of people gathered around the flag pole. Shashi Bhatia, the chairwoman for the ICCAD, said the singing of both national anthems showed India’s commitment to Canada. “Yes, we do have love for our roots in India, but we have a very deep appreciation for our country we call our adoptive motherland: Canada,” she said. “I believe that in the end we have become members of one fam- ily.” After the flag ceremony, Ms. Bha- tia marched with the crowd to the Pickering Recreation Complex for some speeches and cultural demon- strations. A handful of dignitaries joined the mayor to offer their congratulations, including MP’s Mark Holland and Dan McTeague. Ms. Bhatia kicked off the speeches that welcomed the diverse audience, sharing her message with the com- munity. “Our goal is to spread the good words of goodwill, understanding, tolerance, acceptance, love and re- spect among the people of India and Canada,” she said. The ICCAD was created in 2006 to establish a formal celebration for India’s Independence Day, Ms. Bha- tia said. Now, in it’s second year, some people may say that multi- cultural events such as this further divide communities, but Ms. Bhatia believes they strengthen the fibres that hold communities together. “Not only are we celebrating our differences, but we are celebrating our differences together... and in this spirit, we are enjoying each other’s culture and heritage,” she said. “Why not? “We are proud Canadians!” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Parminder Singh performs a contemporary Indian dance during a festival celebrating India’s 60th year of independence at the Pickering Recreation Complex.

The Ajax elementary teacher and cycling enthusiast said he was resis- tant at first to making the switch from needles to an insulin pump for his Type 1 Diabetes. “I wasn’t sure I liked the idea of being hooked up to machinery for 24- 7,” said Mr. Brushett, 34. “But now I don’t notice it.” “It’s been an absolutely life-altering improvement over my diabetes man- agement. Now that I’m on a pump, I wouldn’t turn back.” Before the pump, Mr. Brushett was having at least two to three seizures a month. He hasn’t had one since get- ting on the pump two years ago. While it means more blood sugar testing, it allows him more freedom. This month, he will be one of two diabetics on a five-person elite team taking part in the “Get Pumped” 24- hour bike relay for the Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre at Albion Hills Con- servation Area near Bolton Aug. 25 and 26. Proceeds raised through pledges support the “Get Pumped” Insulin Pump Program offered at the centre, which provides insulin pump training and support but also a financial as- sistance program for adults unable to afford a pump. The government currently pays for pumps for children aged 18 and under. Adults without private insurance face an average cost of $7,200 for a pump plus another $500 in monthly sup- plies. A fan of “anything with two wheels” and a former cyclist on the racing cir- cuit, Mr. Brushett said he always want- ed to tackle a 24-hour bike relay. He took part in the first relay last year and has plans to go solo next year. Cycling entered his life around the same time as his diabetes, about 18 years ago. “I was a typical teenager. I had a summer job working at Sporting Life. Nothing was out of the ordinary,” Mr. Brushett said. “One day I passed out in the drive- way. My mother said, ‘He has diabe- tes.’ She was a pharmacist who knew all the signs. I showed fatigue, was losing weight and drinking litre after litre.” Diabetes has actually made him healthier because Mr. Brushett has to monitor everything he eats. “I’m still trying to understand how extensive exercise affects (my pump),” he added. “Each ride is so different.” Of the 50 riders participating in the bike relay, nine have Type 1 Diabetes. The Charles H. Best Centre hopes to raise $20,000 with the event. Mr. Brushett and his wife, Denyse, have two sons, Aidan, 6, and Holden, 2.

Responding to residents who have called the integrity of the re- port into question and pointing to alleged flaws in the process, Clar- ington Regional Councillor Charlie Trim said it was important to wait till Clarington’s report comes for- ward at Sept. 4’s General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting. Waiting for the report is a lot like the anticipation that builds for some before Christmas, he said. “My take on all of this is that people just by nature ... can’t wait till December 25,” he said. “They have to attempt to find out what’s in the Christmas boxes.” But, “you have to deal with the presentation (expected from Clar- ington staff Sept. 4) and the actual report to know what you’re actually talking about,” he said. Clarington commissioned the peer review last spring, in an effort to independently assess work done thus far by the Region and its con- sultants on the possible incinerator. All but one of the short-listed sites for the energy-from-waste facility are located in Clarington. The review was due to be pre- sented at Clarington’s July 30 Gen- eral Purpose and Administration committee. But, CAO Franklin Wu said it was not available, due to it having been turned in too late to meet deadlines for the meeting. But, at a recent protest against the incinerator, many said that ex- planation didn’t hold water. “On July 30, Clarington’s CAO, Mr. Frank Wu, stated that the report was unavailable for that meeting because he got it late, and wasn’t comfortable putting his signature on it,” said Linda Gasser in a media release. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a copy of the report produced for July 30. Please note that it appears to have been signed by Mr. Wu.” The situation compromises the integrity of the entire process, she said. “It certainly calls into question how independent those reports will be. I think that the incident has tainted the EA process,” she said. Not only do some feel the process is flawed, but portions of the peer review obtained by This Week in- dicate there may be some issues in terms of the environmental assess- ment. For example, a report by environ- mental planner Steven Rowe identi- fies a number of potential concerns, including that locating in the pro- posed Clarington Energy Business Park, located near Courtice Road and Hwy. 401, could have a major impact on development of the busi- ness park. As well, the report calls into question the order in which decisions are being made. “It is possible that the cumulative effects of unresolved errors in the process will undermine the validity of the process as a whole,” said the report from Mr. Rowe. Should the final report, due to be available for the Sept. 4 meeting, show problems, there is still time to correct any errors, said Coun. Trim. --- with files from the Torstar Network Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Tattoo you AJAX — Wild Ink Tattoo Parlour employees held a fundraiser for the United Way at their Ajax store recently.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cyclists need to mind walkers on waterfront trail To the editor: Recently my family and I were at Heydenshore Kiwan- is Park in Whitby enjoying a nice Sunday after church. We decided to walk along the waterfront from Hey- denshore towards Lake Park about five minutes west. The path is a busy one with cy- clists, rollerbladers, dogs and other people enjoying our waterfront. A gentleman and friend of his came up behind us on bikes so fast and furious my three year old was almost hit by them riding by and having to go on the grass to avoid my son. This gentleman then turns around, scowling and shaking his head as if to say, ‘why don’t you get out of the way!’. My question is this: since when did the paths along the waterfront belong exclusively to bike riders? Have people on bikes ever heard of BELLS that go on your handlebars that help you alert pedestrians ahead that you are approaching??!!! My three year old has a bell on his bike - is it too much to ask people to spend $5 on a bell so as not to injure people walking and trying to enjoy what Durham has to offer? Sandra Howlett Pickering Solutions needed to environmental issues To the editor: Re: Going green in Durham Region, Aug. 12. I think it’s wonderful that John Ekker has the financial ability to go green. I believe there are many more people who would like to do exactly as he has done but it’s beyond their reach financially. This is an example of how government should be work- ing with people to make this option available to everyone, possibly through loans, spe- cial rate mortgages or some kind of specific plan. At least a specific plan such as this would be a substantial savings to the universe rather than these mediocre ideas the government is coming up with so far. It would be just as worth- while as these hybrids with special benefits and who needs a smart meter? We all know when the grid is at its peak. The meters just make more money for hydro. Also, why aren’t we back to recyclable glass milk bottles rather than plastic. When you buy milk in plastic bags it’s in three plastic bags inside of another plastic bag to hold them all together and then put in a plastic bag to carry it home. Why not ban disposable diapers which aren’t degrad- able and go back to cloth. Wash and wear. Why not go back to wax paper on bread instead of plastic bags-- wax paper is degradable. Why is Canada so very far behind? Too many studies and no action.

IN THE COMMUNITY You can tell a lot about a man by the number of shoes in his closet /4& Any more than three pairs leaves questions to be asked I have looked into my clos- et and found myself want- ing. It has come to my atten- tion that I have an inordinate amount of footwear. Includ- ing snow boots, I have no less than 15 pairs of shoes. My wife has at least that number and probably more. but it is impossible to get an accu- rate tally of her footwear as some of it is stowed in parts of our clothes closet that we are both somewhat terrified of visiting. But it is not my purpose here to take my wife to task or to paint her as some kind of rural Imelda Marcos. I’ve enough experience with the opposite sex to understand that my own spouses’ shoe collection, as impressive as it may be, falls very near the low end of the women’s scale. I doubt if she is even on the radar screen of Female Shoe Enthusiasts. No, unfortunately, this is about me. I think 15 pairs of footwear is far and away in excess of what a man should own. Also, it’s worth noting that a full third of those are sandals. Sandals? What does that say about my virility? My manli- ness? As much as I hate to admit it, there is clearly an inverse relationship between a chaps’ masculinity and the number of shoes he owns, with a shoeless Tarzan at one end of the scale and Elton John at the other. At ‘15,’ I’m sitting somewhere between David Beckham and Jim Na- bors. Good Lord. If this seems silly, ask your- self how many pairs of shoes do you think Ernest Heming- way owned? Or John Wayne? Or Tim Horton? Including hunting and cowboy boots, maybe three. And Tim Horton was in skates most of the time. Why do you think we take our shoes off to make love? So we can be closer to Tarzan and further from Elton. I really think in this day and age that a man, a real man, needs no more than three pairs of footwear in his possession; a pair of athletic shoes for working out, cut- ting the grass and emitting fe- male-attracting pheromones, a pair of black brogues for dress and business, and a pair of steel-toed construc- tion boots for various manly activities, i.e. building decks, carrying women and children safely through flood-ravaged streets and the stalking and slaying of large game. Every shoe after that is just one step closer to put- ting on makeup. All of the above, by the way, should be lace-ups. The minute a man starts wearing ‘Slip-ons’ he is only a Judy Garland film away from tying a sweater around his neck and hunting for an- tiques. Which, of course, brings us back to my own situation. I, apparently, have some difficult questions to ask my- self. Are my shoes, in their appalling numbers, trying to tell me something? Is there an ugly metaphor lurking in all of this closet talk? Can a man change who he really is simply by throwing out some shoes? I’m not sure. I need to think about it. I believe I’ll start by taking a long walk... barefoot.

Total votes: 77 Doing everything I can: 52% Haven’t changed a thing: 29% Could be doing more: 19% Expand sign rules Regional proposals a good start It’s a sign of the times. Durham Region is poised to toughen up the rules governing elec- tion signage on regional roads, allowing municipal election signs to be erected only when it’s 25 days or sooner to local elections, and on the day of writ for provincial and federal votes. As well, each candi- date would have to pony up a refundable deposit of $500 to cover the Regional costs associated with removing signs in violation. Finally, the Region proposes that anyone erecting signs on behalf of a candidate carry a document outlining the regulations. These ideas are well and good, but don’t go far enough. In the last municipal election, several residents wrote to us com- plaining of excessive sign pollution. They appear early and often, and those signs not properly secured against the elements, end up creating a mess. Twenty-five days ahead of the vote is plenty of time, since most Durham residents aren’t tuned in to the municipal vote until they’re back from vacations and school is well under way. As for the upcom- ing provincial vote, the day of writ, when the election is formally called, is an estimated 29 days prior to this year’s Oct. 10 election. This is roughly consistent with the municipal regulation. Let’s face it, mu- nicipal election turnout is low anyway and having more signs, earlier in the process, hasn’t affected participation. The proposed new rules, however, have some problems. They only apply to regional roads, and given that Durham has local, regional and provincial roads, there’s a lack of consistency that candidates and their supporters would surely exploit. One could imagine these people following the rules concerning regional roads, but overcompensating by placing an inordinate amount of signage on local roads. Or, even with the regulations in hand, someone putting up a sign could claim he or she was unaware it was a regional road. For example, Liverpool Road in Pickering is a city road south of Bayly Street but a regional road north of Bayly. There needs to be a broader policy affecting all roadways. Local riding associations in upper-level votes are made up of local people, so having them follow suit shouldn’t be a large issue. That’s why it would make sense to have local municipalities adopt similar rules. Pickering has agreed to ban election signs on arterial roads and City-owned property but it has yet to approve a bylaw. In every election, there are complaints of signs that break rules gov- erning placement or size, so the $500 is again a good move. After all, no one more than candidates and those in their camps should know the sign rules better, and if the rules are broken it’s their fault. Finally, the Region should seriously consider forbidding signs at intersections. Quite simply, they look awful and are a distraction. If the 10 signs leading up to the intersection aren’t enough to tell you that Joe Smith is running for city council, a larger one at a crossroads won’t do the trick. Candidates have every right to use signs to get their names out to the voting public, but there has to be a better and more eye-pleasing method to do that. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

WINTERIZE YOUR LAWN The fall season is the best time to prepare your lawn for a successful spring. OVERSEED the entire lawn with an endophytic grass seed. This will make sure bare patches are filled in and creates a thick lawn. A dense lawn means that weeds do not have a chance to grow. LEAF MULCH can be left on your lawn as a fertilizer. When leaves fall on your garden, move them onto your lawn and run your mower over it. The leaves are full of nutrients and provide shade and moisture. FALL FERTILIZATION is ideal because the roots are still in their growth stage and store nutrients to use over the winter months. An organic fish fertilizer is ideal at this time. We are offering kits that include products to help you winterize your lawn. If you are a Pickering resident and would like more information please contact Mary Williams at 905.420.4660 ext. 2212.

PAGE A8 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ August 22, 2007A/P Durham will host 2008 Spring Games next May By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Two familiar faces have joined the team working to bring the Special Olympics Ontario Spring Games to Durham Region, next year. Oshawa Generals hockey star John Tavares, 16, has been named honoura- ry coach, while CTV anchor Ken Shaw will act as honourary chairman of the event. Dozens of supporters and local Spe- cial Olympics athletes applauded as the new honourary members were announced at Regional Headquarters Tuesday morning. “These are great people, once you get involved with them you want to stay involved,” said Mr. Tavares, who was first introduced to the Special Olympics when he attended a festi- val a couple of years ago. “I had the chance to play ringette with some of the Special Olympics athletes and we had a lot of fun. They’re great athletes.” A longtime supporter of the Special Olympics, the Durham Regional Police Service won the bid to host the Games last year, and DRPS Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier became the chairman of the 2008 Games committee. The Games will take place from May 29-31, 2008, and are expected to at- tract more than 1,000 athletes, coach- es, family members and volunteers from across Ontario. As the host site, Durham College and UOIT will house participants in the campus residences, as well as providing meals, transporta- tion and venues for some events. Athletes will compete in power lift- ing, basketball, swimming, five-pin bowling and 10-pin bowling. Mr. Shaw still isn’t sure what his responsibilities will be as honorary chairman, but plans to spend a lot of time cheering the athletes on and promoting the Games. He says they provide people with special needs with a valuable sense of pride. “It gives them a chance to set goals and succeed and be proud of that ac- complishment and the fact that they did their best,” he says. “I hope I can be an inspiration to these athletes, who are an inspiration to me.” In addition to welcoming the hon- ourary chairman and coach, the Spring Games committee also announced the newest Games Ambassadors, who have committed to supporting the Games over the next year. They include Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson, Po- lice Services Board Chairman Terry Clayton, DRPS Chief Mike Ewles, UOIT President Ron Bourdessa and Durham College President Leah Myers.

Entering his first foray as a junior ‘A’ head coach after spending three seasons as an assistant coach with the Aurora Tigers, Joslin is anxious, yet excited to get going. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” he says prior to the opening of training camp Monday. “It’s a great opportunity and I’m extremely ex- cited.” The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club starts pre-sea- son play tomorrow (Thursday, Aug. 23) against the Cobourg Cougars at 7:30 p.m. Pre-season action continues in Bowmanville against the Eagles on Sunday, Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m. and in Cobourg against the Cougars on Mon- day, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. The final pre- season tilt is against Bowmanville at the Pickering complex on Thursday, Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Joslin’s excite- ment, however, is tempered by the fact he’ll be starting from scratch to build a blue-line corps, as there are no returning D-men from last season. “We’re fairly deep up front but, for whatever reason, we’re not as deep on the back end and we have to address that first and foremost,” says Joslin, who took over abruptly from former Pickering bench boss Pat Cur- cio, who left the club to pursue an as- sistant coaching job with the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights. The entire Panthers’ blue-line corps from last season has moved on, either through graduation or to NCAA hock- ey programs in the U.S. On the move are Kory Helowka (graduation), Mi- chael Banwell (University of Maine), Jesse Hebscher (signed with Ontario Hockey League’s Sudbury Wolves), Zack Fenwick (Mercyhurst Univer- sity), Mike Rigtrup (St. Michael’s Uni- versity) and Kevin Huinink (Salem State University). The good news, says Joslin, is the team has a large contingent of re- turning forwards from last season, including Cody Smith, Chad Beal, Scott Brown, Daniel Mandel, Brendan Hann and Mike McFarlane. He notes, as a new head coach hired late in the summer after the rookie camp, he’s somewhat behind the eight-ball in terms of player evalu- ation. He’s got a handle on his veteran players, having viewed videotapes of various regular-season and playoff games last season. As a new coach who wasn’t part of earlier evaluations, however, Joslin says it gives new players a chance to make a favourable impression on the ice. “It’s a good opportunity for them with the coaching change,” he says. “The kids realize there’s an opportu- nity to impress a new coaching staff. The more kids we get a chance to look at and the more kids who want to be Pickering Panthers, the better it is; the more the merrier.” In terms of goaltending, Joslin says he intends to give returning netmind- er Connor Sampson every opportunity to seize the starter’s role with the club. Last year, Sampson was in the shadow of incumbent veteran netminder Brad Fogal, who was acquired in a trade with the Newmarket Hurricanes. Fogal has since left the Panthers for an athletic scholarship at Adrian College in Michigan, leaving the door wide open for Sampson. “We’ve talked to Connor and he be- lieves he’s up for the challenge. He’s going to get the opportunity to be the No. 1 guy. We’re going to work with him and give him every opportunity.” Joslin says the Panthers will have four goaltenders at camp, includ- ing Ben Calma, who played with the Markham Majors major midget ‘AAA’ squad last year, and comes in as a highly regarded puck stopper. Defence priority for Pickering Panthers’ coach Mark Joslin DURHAM — The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League will follow the National Hockey League’s path into overtime to settle tie games during the regular season. And, Pickering Panthers’ general manager Frank Robinson was a leader in pushing the league’s board of gov- ernors for the 3-on-3 shootout for the coming season. “I’m the one who put the motion forward because I think it will be excit- ing for the fans,” says Robinson. “To be honest, I hate tie games. You still get a point (if you lose in the shoot- out).” The shootout occurs if a 4-on-4, five-minute overtime session fails to produce a winner. Shootouts will occur only during regular-season games; playoff con- tests will be decided by overtime. Junior ‘A’ league goes to shootouts DURHAM — In a little more than two week’s time, the Pickering Panthers and Ajax Attack begin their respec- tive OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League regular seasons. The Attack kicks off the 2007-08 campaign on the road Friday, Sept. 7 against the St. Michael’s Buzzers, the defending South Conference champs who knocked the Attack out of the post-season in the best-of-seven first round in a minimum of four games. The Attack’s home opener is versus the Markham Waxers -- the pre-sea- son favourite for the South Conference crown -- at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 5:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Panthers also start the regular season on the road, in To- ronto against the North York Rangers on Wednesday, Sept. 12. On Friday, Sept. 14, the Panthers begin a home-and-home set in Markham against the Waxers. Two days later on Sunday, the squads re- turn to the Pickering Recreation Com- plex for the Panthers’ home opener at 6:30 p.m. In other news, the At- tack and Panthers will join the other 34 OPJAHL teams at the annual Gov- ernor’s Showcase at Mississauga’s Erin Mills Twin Rinks from Friday, Sept. 21 to Sunday, Sept. 23. Formerly the College Weekend, the Governor’s Showcase is an opportu- nity for NHL, NCAA and Canadian university scouts to gauge the league’s talent under one roof during the week- end. All teams play during the weekend, and all games count in the standings. The Attack plays the Mississauga Chargers of the league’s West Confer- ence on Rink 2 on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Panthers line up against the Kingston Voyageurs of the East Conference on Rink 2 on Satur- day, Sept. 22 at 5:45 p.m. Attack, Panthers set to begin new hockey season [ Basketball ] Durham City looking for rep coaches DURHAM — If you enjoy working with area youths and have a head for hoops, the Durham City Basketball As- sociation is searching for coaching for the coming season.

[ Soccer ] Wolves under-9s prowl to third title AJAX — Winning championships is something the Ajax Wolves boys’ under-nine soccer team is good at doing. For the third time, the team brought home the title, going undefeat- ed at the Heart of York Tournament last weekend. Facing a strong, equally-matched Collingwood Comets in the finals, Ajax used an all-round team effort to win 1-0. In the semi-final round, the Wolves faced the Newmarket United ‘A’ and Ajax came away with a close 3-2 win. The Wolves had to come from behind to tie the game late in regulation time, which forced the match to penalty kicks, where a save on the last kick moved the Wolves into the finals. In preliminary round play, Ajax defeated Newmarket United ‘A’ 3-2, Kleinberg Nobleton 5-0 and Newmarket United ‘B’ 7-0. Team members are Devonte Martel, Evan Alexiou, Nicky Vrzovski, Riley Tell, Andrew Southard, Nicholas Nicolopoulos, Adam Pagliaroli, Liam Gasparotto, Andrew Doma, Reade MacInnis, Nicholas Holland, Trea Whar- ton, Andrew Costa and keeper Tristan Schyvenaars. The coaches are Chris Southard, Nick Nicolopoulos and Mark Holland. Rock lose opener at Canadians DURHAM — Despite a four-goal performance by team captain Jim Velt- man, the Ajax-Pickering Rock went down to defeat in its opening game at the Presidents Cup of senior ‘B’ lacrosse in Owen Sound on Monday night. The Rock dropped a 9-8 decision to the Sherwood Park Outlaws of Alberta in round-robin action at the Canadian championships at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. Trailing 2-1 after the first period, the Rock fell further behind in the middle stanza. The Outlaws scored six times and the Rock scored twice as Sherwood Park took a commanding 7-4 lead into the final period. Ajax- Pickering outscored the Albertans 4-2 in the third, but it was too little, too late. The Rock played its second round- robin contest against the Ladner Pio- neers of B.C. Tuesday, with the result unavailable at press time. The British Columbia champs upset the Ontar- io champion and host Owen Sound Woodsmen 11-9 in its opening game on Monday. Ajax-Pickering plays its third game today, Wednesday, against the Akwe- sasne Island Redmen at 5 p.m. Other Rock marksmen on Mon- day were Josh Black, Mark Craig, Joel Johnson and Mike Daley. Adding as- sists were Black with two, Craig, Jamie Plunkett and Tim O’Brien. The Rock must finish in the top 2 in Group 1 during the round-robin por- tion of the tournament to advance to Friday’s semifinal games. The final goes Saturday night at 7 p.m. The Rock, which entered the Presi- dents Cup as the second Ontario entry, is making its first appearance at the Canadian championship in its five- year history. Cup schedule DURHAM — Here’s the remain- ing round-robin games for the Ajax- Pickering Rock at the Presidents Cup (Canadian) senior ‘B’ lacrosse cham- pionships in Owen Sound this week: • Wednesday, Aug. 22: Rock vs. Akwesasne Island Redmen (Que- bec, Iroquois Lacrosse Association), 5 p.m. • Thursday, Aug. 23: Rock vs. Six Nations Sting (Ontario, Can-Am Lacrosse League), 5 p.m. PPAGE B1 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ August 22, 2007 PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ August 22, 2007A/P ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Acting couple takes up starring roles in latest production By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Three stars of the Herongate Barn Theatre stage are shining in its current production. Veteran actors Paul Francies, Mar- garet St. John and Mike Woodbridge are cast in the Ron Clark play ‘A Bench in the Sun’. The comedy by the Canadian-born playwright revolves around three seniors at a retirement home. Harold (Woodbridge) and Burt (Francies) enjoy spending their time on a bench in the garden bick- ering. Their comfortable existence, however, goes for a tumble when a once-famous movie star takes up residence at the home. Enter St. John as Adrienne Bliss, whom the actress describes as “of the era of the 1940s, the MGM era. “It’s a complete opposite of a char- acter I played last summer, a real b- i-t-c-h,” she says. “She’s an ex-movie star, sort of an Elizabeth Taylor kind of character.” St. John says Bliss comes between Harold and Burt, who both fall for her. Treading the board’s on the Her- ongate stage is almost second nature to St. John. “Probably about my 45th time,” she replies when asked how many Herongate productions she’s been a part of. “My husband and I have been working there about 14 years,,, and are in about two productions a year.” Their run began when Herongate co-owner Ann Ward saw Francies in a Markham Little Theatre produc- tion. She asked him to perform at Herongate, and in the process met St. John, and the rest, as they say, is history. It’s the variety that keeps the couple, who recently moved to Stouffville, enthusiastic about taking the stage at the Pickering theatre. “We just love it; it’s a lovely at- mosphere,” she says of working at Herongate. “We get subscribers who are back year after year and get to know us. Ann Ward and Steve Gra- ham are wonderful to work with. We get to play all kinds of different roles. That’s the great thing about a repertory group, you get to play ev- erything.” The couple’s work extends be- yond the acting realm. Francies is involved in the creation of all the sets, while St. John assembles and, in some cases, creates costumes for the shows. She scours Value Village and Goodwill for new items, and always has Herongate’s “massive wardrobe” to work with. “I’m pretty much employed full- time there,” Francies says. She describes ‘A Bench in the Sun’ as poignant, almost a romantic com- edy. But, there’s a bit of mystery as well, as her character contracts an illness, becomes sicker throughout the play and eventually just disap- pears. “It’s left up in the air for the audi- ence to decide,” Francies says. The play is performed on Friday and Saturday nights until Sept. 8. As well, there are Wednesday matinees on Aug. 29 and Sept. 5. Herongate is in the Pickering coun- tryside, at 2885 Altona Rd. (between Whitevale and Taunton roads).

Morningside Park celebration PICKERING — It’s no secret that Pickering’s Dorsey James is one of Canada’s finest sculptors.

On Aug. 24, Ajax and Pickering residents are invited to travel west to Scarborough’s Morningside Park for a celebratory gathering and barbecue in honour of The Monarch Project 2007: Reclaim Your Space, presented by The Scarborough Arts Council and the Highland Creek Community Steward- ship Project.

Food and refreshments will be served and all are welcome. The event is from 1 to 3 p.m. in the park’s Parking Lot 3.

Dutch-born painter shows work at OPG Info Centre PICKERING — Peter Vangils’s one-man show continues in Pickering until Sept. 17, part of the PineRidge Arts Council’s Art in Public Places ini- tiative. Vangils generally works in acrylic and oil, but the 12 paintings at the Ontario Power Generation Information Centre are watercolour landscapes with one exception, a mixed-media abstract. Vangils is a frequent traveller and, wherever he goes, carries a sketch book, filling it with ideas he can turn into paintings at his Whitby studio. When he doesn’t have brush in hand, Vangils creates wood carvings. He was a textile designer in his native Holland and came to Canada in 1957. The Information Centre is at 1675 Montgomery Park Rd. (at the foot of Brock Road) and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Free festival goes Aug. 25 By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The time has come to celebrate the artistic talent in Claring- ton. CAMfest (Celebrating the Arts, Music and Spirit of Clarington) is a free daylong event featuring talented people from Clarington -- and beyond. Almost everyone taking part has a tie to Clarington, said one of the founders, musician Jesse Parsons. Parson, Mary-Ann Kolotai, owner of the Espresso Legato, Ron Collis, of Collis and Reed Research, and Adri- an Short got talking about a year ago about the many talented musicians and artists living in or having come from Clarington, Parsons said. “We basically started talking about how much awesome talent there is in this area and the need to show it to ourselves,” he said. “It sort of took off.” What developed is a one-day cel- ebration on Aug. 25, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Soper Park, at the Clarington Visual Arts Centre in Bowmanville. There will be displays, demonstra- tions, kids’ entertainment and an after- noon and evening of music, finishing off with Canadian folk icon Murray McLauchlan. (He’s about the only en- tertainer without a link to Clarington -- at least for now.) And it’s all dedicated to the memory of Evylin Stroud, a long-time supporter of the arts community in Clarington and an advocate for accessibility. McLauchlan was a favourite of hers, which is partly why the organizers con- tacted McLauchlan to see if he’d at- tend. Helen MacDonald, a friend of Stroud’s, will pay tribute to her. There will also be a presentation from the Clarington Accessibility Committee. “Our day begins at 11 a.m. with children’s entertainer and author Ted Staunton,” Parsons said, adding he’ll be followed by a variety of children’s activities. The music for the day for the adults includes Glendale One, a Beatles cover band, Born Yesterday, a five-piece band playing rootsy music, and Chint- zanos, with its blend of blues, gospel, funk and bepop. In the evening, the entertainment lineup consists of Trish Robb, with her folk country and pop sounds, Lee Mellor, rated one of Montreal’s top ten singer/songwriters, Peter Katz, grand prize winner of Toronto’s Indie Week, and performer of folk, jazz and rock, and Liam Titcomb, a singer/songwriter who opens for McLauchlan. During the afternoon, there will be interactive workshops on music and art (for a small fee) and VAC will be open, allowing everyone to see the cur- rent art exhibition. There will also be displays, including one by artists who’ve taken underwear donated by Clarington councillors and embellished them. There will also be Clarington cuisine available. Parsons said the organizers hope to see CAMfest continue but want it to be more than an annual event. There’s already talk of a youth festival in the fall and other events. Due to limited parking, everyone is asked to park either at the Bowman- ville Zoo on Hwy. 2 and then walk through the Soper Creek Trail to the park, or at Liberty Bowling Alley. For people with disabilities requiring a drop-off at VAC, contact the organizers at camfest@gmail.com (Subject: Ac- cessibility) to arrange this ahead of time. Remember to bring lawn chairs, hats, sunscreen, water, insect repellent. For more information, go to www. camfest.ca.

The Stellar Literary Festival, to be held Sept. 22 in Oshawa, will celebrate the many talented authors, poets, storytell- ers, playwrights, songwriters and even readers around us, said producer Stella Ducker. She said it’s about time a festival concentrated on the literary in Durham. The event will not be a book fair or an academic festival but a day designed to draw attention to Durham’s “rich and diverse literary culture” and the many writers in our midst, she said. “This is a celebration/festival for ev- eryone in the community in an informal atmosphere, encouraging discussion and conversation among all of those in attendance,” she said. Speakers and presenters to date in- clude Lynn Phillip Hodgson, of Port Perry, co-author of several popular Camp X novels, Heather Whaley, of Whitby, a singer/songriter/storyteller, Graham Ducker, Oshawa branch man- ager of the Ontario Poetry Society, John B. Lee, poet laureate of Brantford, Allan Briesmaster, a Thornhill poet, Richard Grove, president of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance, Dorothea Helms, of Sunderland, known as the Writing Fairy, Honey Novick, of Toronto, a poet/singer/ songwriter, and Sharon Lawrence, who will talk about the works of her husband, Richard Lawrence, a nature writer. The festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens, 155 Arena St. There is no ad- mission charge. For more information, go to www.stel- larliteraryfestival.com.

On what would have been his own father's birthday, Doug, aged 89 years, passed away peacefully after a lengthy battle with cancer. Beloved husband of Beryl Kathleen Watkins (nee Greene). Sadly missed by three sons and two daughters, John Douglas Watkins (Rosalind) of Campbellford, William Leighton (Leigh) Watkins of Pickering, Beryl (Bunny) Elizabeth Godman (Wayne) of New- market, Douglas Paul Watkins of Toronto and also Lisa Anne Rooney (Ian) of Harwood. Also survived by his brother William (Bill) Victor Watkins (Shirley) of Smith Falls, three nephews & nieces, eight grandchildren and four great grand- children. Mr. Watkins was predeceased in 2005 by his brother John Orman (Orm) Watkins (Doris) of Halifax, Nova Scotia, an infant son in 1959 and by an infant sister Betty Marguerite Watkins in 1929. Doug was born 31 July 1918 in Smith Falls Ontario to the late John Saunders Watkins and Bella (nee Saun- ders) Watkins. Between 1939 and early 1944, Doug worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He started in the freight department in the freight shed at Smith Falls and later had a chance to move to the Renfrew yard for a while as a Shed Foreman. He then transferred to the Main Line (Smith Falls to Montreal) as a Brakeman. In 1944, Doug enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and trained to be a Flight Engineer at the R.C.A.F. Training School in Manning De- pot (on the site of the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto). Doug was promoted to Sergeant and earned his wings as a flight Engineer just as the war was ending. Following the war, Doug was part of the first graduating class for the photography course offer at Ryerson in Toronto. This lead him to starting the business "Foto Engineering Products' in Toronto in 1947, at 456 Queen St. E. The business specialized in photographic and stage lighting. He moved the business shortly after he married Beryl to 1186 Queen St. E., and then again as the family grew to 627 West Shore Blvd., Pickering. The name of the busi- ness later changed to F. E. Lighting. Doug ran this business for almost 60 years before it closed earlier this year. Doug was a long standing member of the Roy- al Canadian Legion. He also had a long time fascination with old cars of which his favorite was his 1958 Buick Limited convertible. Doug especially enjoyed his many trips to Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, Ireland, home of the Watkins Fami- ly prior to their emigration to Canada in the mid 1800s. Doug and Beryl were married on 28 February 1948 at Trinity United Church, Toronto and had celebrated 59 years of marriage. Family and friends were received at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax Ontario on Tues- day, August 21, 2007 from 1-2 pm service followed at 2pm in the funeral home chapel. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Family flowers only by request.

The Sun Devils emerged victorious 1-0. Soccer squad works overtime to capture Newmarket crown AJAX — The Ajax FoxFire girls’ under-nine rep soccer team showed heart on the soccer pitch to capture the title at the Heart of York Summer Classic Soccer Tournament in New- market last weekend. But, achieving the tourney crown wasn’t easy for the Ajacians. The final between the Ajax FoxFire and host Newmarket ended in a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation time. The first 10-minute golden goal overtime half ended with no scoring, which only served to heighten the stakes. With only two minutes remaining in the second overtime, the FoxFire scored to secure the victory and the title. After winning its first two round- robin games by 2-0 against Newmar- ket 99 and 2-1 against Barrie, the FoxFire dropped its third game 2-0 to Newmarket 98. Team members are Aaliyah Pe- terson, Amanda Wray, Erin Kappel, Jaclyn Ronson, Paige Griffith, Ame- lia Owens, Victoria Denobrega, Teja Benjamin, Ursula Riley, Rebecca Klotz, Marie Hartley, Kiara Shaw, Tory Hickling, and Gillian Collins. Derrick Klotz and Brian Collins coach the team. Michele Wray and Gail Riley serve as co-managers.
