Coffee cup confusion Plastic lined cups can’t be recycled or composted By Erin Hatfield ehatfiled@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Al Ramsay sees col- umns of 20 and 30 coffee cups come through the green bin sorting station on a regular basis. “People, in their heart, thought they were doing the right thing,” said Mr. Ramsay, site manager for the Mill- er Waste compost facility on Squires Beach Road in Pickering. “For the av- erage person they probably have no idea there is a plastic film liner in the cups.” Typically coffee cups and takeout cups of all sorts have a plastic lining on the inside that serves as a barrier so the cups don’t leak. The lining makes the cups non-compostable and non- recyclable. “The long and the short of it is, ulti- mately they do end up in the trash,” he said. “They should probably just go to their destination from the start.” The treatment of these cups in the waste system has always been a grey area, Mr. Ramsay said, but as far as the compost process is concerned the lined cups were never an acceptable item. “We try and remove them at the sorting station because they won’t de- compose,” he explained. “If you have a non-lined paper cup, for instance the coned shaped cup at a water dis- penser, they are a true paper cup and are compostable.” When the green bin program rolled out in July 2006 the Region of Dur- ham initially included takeout coffee cups in lists of acceptable bin material. But, according to Peter Watson, the Region’s manager of waste, residents are now asked not to put takeout cups in the green bin or blue box. “The compost facility has been run- ning for about a year and we are quite pleased with the material coming in, but the cups were problematic,” he said. Mr. Watson explained he un- derstands the industry is working on developing a compostable liner for takeout cups, but until they roll out a formula that makes them completely compostable, the cups are to go in the trash. “Hopefully the industry will expedite their research to make their popular coffee cups completely compostable,” he said. Organizer hopes to gain more participants in Terry Fox Run By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — When Kevin Cahill missed Terry Fox run through Pickering on his Marathon of Hope in 1980, it bothered him, and if he could have changed history, he would have cheered him on during his mission to find a cure for cancer. Mr. Fox chose to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research when he saw the sadness in cancer patients, especially children, when he was in the hospital after his leg was amputated 15 inches above the knee due to osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer). He had to stop his run after 143 days and nearly 5,400 kilometres when cancer spread to his lungs, and he died on June 28, 1981. “Years after, it bothered me and I just don’t know why I didn’t (watch him). I wish I did,” Mr. Cahill said. “I really wish I did.” So, he decided to volunteer in the first Pickering Terry Fox run in 1986 when he was interning at the City of Pickering. Now, 21 years later, he’s the City’s con- struction co-ordinator, and the orga- nizer of the run. It has raised more than $600,000 since its inception. “I look forward to the day we break the million,” he said. “My hope is that we fall short of that. And if we fall short of that million-dollar mark, that means cancer’s been eradicated.” Mr. Cahill explained 87 cents from each dollar goes toward research (the remainder goes toward administration and staff), whereas with most other charities, only 60 cents goes directly to- ward the cause. The Terry Fox Run as a whole has raised more than $400-mil- lion. Mr. Cahill said although there is no cure yet, researchers have “made leaps and bounds. “The statistic for this year that they’ve (The Terry Fox Foundation) given us is that almost 60 per cent of all cancers are preventable and being cured,” he said. “You go back 20, 30, 40 years and it wasn’t such a high percentage.” Although Pickering’s attendance numbers have not met expectations in recent years (with usually roughly 200 to 300 participants a year), Mr. Cahill said “we can certainly say that we’re part of the Marathon of Hope and I think we’re Officers deem 144 of 187 vehicles unsafe DURHAM — Nearly all of the vehi- cles inspected during a holiday week- end safety blitz were taken off the road for infractions, Durham police said. Officers working in conjunction with Transportation Ministry inspectors ex- amined 187 vehicles during Opera- tion Cottage Bound on the Labour Day Weekend and took 144 off the road, Durham cops said. More than 50 of those vehicles had plates seized and were towed away. The safety blitz was part of Durham’s ongoing “Drive to Stay Alive” initia- tive, which is promoting road safety throughout the region. Beginning Friday, Aug. 31, police set up inspection sites in Clarington and Port Perry and along the Hwy. 401 and 35/115 corridors, paying special attention to vehicles hauling trailers or carrying heavy loads. Officers also laid eight charges against motorist drivers with no in- surance and five who had no valid licences, and laid 65 Highway Traffic Act charges for offences including ag- gressive driving and speeding. One of those speeding tickets was laid against a driver caught travelling at 157 km-h in a posted 80 km-h zone on Regional Road 21 near Utica, police said. The safe roads initiative continued this week with Operation In The Zone, in which police are targeting motor- ists who speed or drive aggressively in school zones. Dozens of vehicles pulled off the road during safety blitz Hoping to find a cure for cancer Kevin Cahill, Pickering’s construction co-ordinator, is also organizer of the city’s Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16. He is hoping to see more than 300 people at this year’s run which to date, has raised more than $600,000 for cancer research.✦ See Terry, Page A2 Darlington, however, purring along By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Problems at the Pickering nuclear station impacted Ontario Power Generation’s bottom line. Over the first six months of this year, OPG’s net in- come was $296 million, down from $342 million over the same period in 2006. Jim Hankinson, presi- dent and CEO of OPG, noted increased production at fos- sil fuel stations “was largely offset by lower production at both Pickering nuclear stations due to a number of unplanned outages.” Also affecting the bottom line was lower production at hydro-election stations, Mr. Hankinson added. The reporting period runs from Jan. 1 to June 30. At Pickering, Units 1 and 4 were off-line for most of the summer so a back-up electrical system could be upgraded to meet current requirements. It was a different story at the Darlington station, where Unit 2 achieved a Nuclear Performance Index rating of 100, mak- ing it the No. 1-rated unit in North America. Unit 1 at Darlington had a perfor- mance index rating of 97.2, which also makes it one of the highest-ranked units in North America. “Over the first half of 2007, the reliability of OPG’s fossil and hydro-electric stations, as well as the Darlington nuclear station continued to improve as a result of targeted performance im- provement programs,” Mr. Hankinson stated. Despite the problems at Pickering, OPG overall was able to generate 54.2 ter- awatt hours of electricity in the first half of 2007, com- pared to the 53.9 TWh for the same period in 2006. Almost all of the increase was at fossil-fuel stations. Lower production at hydro-election stations was primarily due to low water levels in northern Ontario, where about one-quarter of OPG’s hydro capacity is located.

Every child deserves to live a happy, healthy life, and thanks to The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, which is dedicated to working within the community to fulfi ll heart felt wishes for children diagnosed with a high-risk, life-threatening illness, more Canadian chil- dren are being given the opportunity to see their dreams come true. Started right here in Ajax on the kitchen table of vol- unteer Laura Cole over 23 years ago, The Children’s Wish Foundation has granted almost 13,000 wishes from coast to coast, with 2,749 granted in Ontario and half of those granted here in Durham Region. Jennifer Dempsey, parade chair and spokesperson for the Foundation says its goal is to help every child enjoy the best quality of life possible, including the ex- perience of laughter, shared joy and treasured memories with important people in their lives. “For a child whose wish is about to be granted, the pain and discomfort of the illness, and often harsh treatment regimes, somehow becomes more bearable. For many, the excitement of planning and anticipat- ing their dream has a dramatic effect on their healing. These courageous youngsters often experience a re- newed sense of energy and hope as they see a different kind of light at the end of the tunnel,” she says, adding “wishes are also about moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and the precious moments spent together plan- ning, enjoying or refl ecting on the special magic of a wish.” You can help create the magic of a wish by joining the Foundation in the third annual Wishmaker Parade – Walk for Wishes at St. Andrews Community Centre, Ajax on Saturday October 13. This event is a pledge-based walk/parade, followed by a community celebration, taking place in more than 100 communities across the country on October 13 “All proceeds will help grant wishes for children be- tween the ages of three and 17 who face high-risk, life threatening illnesses,” says Jennifer.

Female empowerment workshop coming to Durham By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A world-renowned workshop for girls and young women is coming to Durham. Thanks to funding from the Canadian Wom- en’s Foundation, the YWCA Durham’s Y’s WISH Shelter will be offering the Girls Speak Out pro- gram to six groups of girls, starting this fall. The program is designed to get girls ages 9-16 talking about issues like violence, bullying, body image and healthy relationships. “It’s an important age group; all of a sudden gender roles are becoming apparent and girls are trying to decide who they want to be,” says Judy Mead, a co-ordinator at Y’s WISH. “We want them to develop good self-es- teem and be able to speak up for themselves.” The Girls Speak Out program uses role play- ing, games, movies, art and other activities to generate discussion. It relies heavily on peer direction allowing participants to raise the issues that matter to them. While the program is open to all girls in Durham Region, organizers believe it will be of particular benefit to those who have seen or experienced bullying or violence. According to Y’s WISH Shelter Services Di- rector Wendy Leeder, 115 abused women and children sought emergency shelter at the agency over the past 18 months and 25 of them were girls between the ages of 9 and 16. “We are committed to providing the sup- portive environment and experiential learning that helps young women recognize and seek out healthy relationships in their lives and for their futures,” she said. The Girls Speak Out workshops are 12 hours in length and will be offered as two six-hour Saturday sessions or six two-hour after school sessions. There is no cost and the workshop includes lunch, snacks and all supplies. Because the par- ticipants are minors, parental or guardian con- sent is required. The first workshops will take place Saturday, Oct. 13, and Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is limited and participants will be selected on a first-come basis.

Public board wants rules for using student names on website DURHAM — The school board is looking at a policy for posting student information on its website. “In some ways, this is long overdue,” said Andrea Pidwerbecki, the board’s communications manager, while pre- senting the report. The board created a website in 2000 and relaunched it in January 2005. More than 70 Durham public schools also have their own sites. Sites are being used more frequently in positive ways, such as highlighting initiatives and events, said Ms. Pidwerbecki. “But we must use some caution in publicizing any personal information on students on board websites,” she added. To ensure consent for posting infor- mation, the easiest way is to provide the option on the student registration form sent home in September, she said. According to the draft policy, per- sonal information that can be posted with written consent includes photos, student’s work, the names of those in extracurricular activities and on stu- dent council, and the names of award and prize winners. No names will be listed in pictures of elementary stu- dents, while secondary school stu- dents will have their first name and surname initial posted. “I like this very much; I think it’s a proactive approach... I did have a cou- ple of minor concerns,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau. Trustee Croteau was worried about including a student’s last name initial, even with the parent’s consent. She said someone on the website would already know which school the stu- dent went to and could start a search for them based on that. “And a website is such a public place,” said Trustee Croteau. “I air on the side of caution myself so I leave that discussion to you,” said Ms. Pidwerbecki. Whitby Trustee Christine Winters asked if the consent form is sent out at the beginning of the year or with each circumstance. They are sent out at the beginning, but there are some unusual circumstances that arrive, such as a CBC filming, in which they’ll try to reach parents to let them know it could be televised and on a na- tional website, said Ms. Pidwerbecki. The next board meeting is on Sept. 17. Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMI Make it one school system I have always been a sup- porter of the Green Party. I understand and appreciate the political and financial/cor- porate arguments against a lot of their platforms, but my personal perspective is a fairly simple one. All the GNP in the world won’t mean squat if the planet is dying. Healthy earth, healthy humans. We are connected. The latest plank that the Greens are putting forward will, I think, make a lot of folks very angry, but is also long overdue; the removal of federal funding for separate religious educa- tion... a.k.a Catholic schools. How the inequity of the cur- rent situation has taken this long to get attention is really beyond me. In a country as multi-every- thing as Canada, the deafening silence over this issue is stagger- ing. Yes, the BNA Act made pro- visions for Catholic education, but the BNA act is old, really old. It’s older than Gordie Tapp. And, if age were any reliable indicator of wisdom or efficacy there are a number of terrific old edicts we could bring back from the Middle Ages. No. For my money, religion, unless taught as a mandatory “World Religions” (which, I think, is an excellent idea and which would go a long way to alleviating the current climate of misunderstanding and igno- rance) has no place in the pub- lic education system. Separate schools are aptly named. They separate us. They only succeed in highlighting our differences, giving us more reasons to dis- tance ourselves from one anoth- er. They draw more lines in the already crowded sand. I do however, think there is a huge place, in fact a gaping, ugly hole, in our school system for spirituality. I am of the belief, as someone much wiser than I once said, that we are not, “physical beings having a spiritual experi- ence, but spiritual beings having a physical experience.” Our education systems cur- rently do a fairly decent job of nurturing the mind and body, but they almost completely ig- nore the spirit. I remember in Grade 7 getting more informa- tion than I was frankly comfort- able with about why my body reacted physiologically the way it did whenever I saw Rachel Pat- terson, but I never received a whit of instruction about why Rachel Patterson, just by looking at me, was able to make me feel like my feet weren’t touching the ground. Or why a part of me secretly ached and went dead when I joined others in making fun of some unfortunate kid. Or why it felt so nice to talk quietly with a friend. Spirit. God. Source. Call it what you like, there is undeni- ably something eternal within all of us. We can spend a lifetime and giga-joules of energy trying to ig- nore it or disprove its existence, but I am convinced, in our quiet- est moments, there it is. It is the barometer of our joy. The closer we get to it, the better we feel. The further away, the more at odds we are with the world, our existence. It is also at the core, the very essence, of every great religion. A common ground. If we could teach that, legislate that, fund that, then we would no longer need “separate” anything.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR C yclists’ perspective on Waterfront Trail To the editor: Re: ‘Crazy’ cyclists on the Wa- terfront Trail. I’ve seen a couple of letters to the editor in recent Ajax/ Pickering News Advertisers complaining about the cyclists on the Waterfront Trail. I’m not an apologist for bad behaviour on the part of cyclists, but as usual there are two sides (or more) to every story. I used to ride my bike on the Waterfront Trail, especially with my wife and mother in law, both inexperienced cyclists, but have since stopped. It’s no lon- ger safe or fun for an inexperi- enced cyclist. We have mothers walking with their strollers two abreast taking up the entire path width. Anyone with the temerity to suggest that they share the trail by walking in single file, is given a look that would freeze your blood. We have dog walkers with those extendable leashes that are not very visible. We have roller bladers pumping side to side taking up the whole trail. I have a bell and I use it, but it doesn’t do me much good. Dogs don’t understand what the bell means and those ex- tendable leashes are not very good for reeling your dog back in. Young kids, too, don’t know what the bell means (perhaps mothers could teach them?). The stroller moms can’t move into single file in time for me to pass safely. And more and more joggers and roller bladers are tuned into their iPod and don’t even hear my bell. I hope other users consid- er their responsibilities when on the shared use Waterfront Trail. Jason Murray President, Durham Mountain Bicycling Association Seaton’s thousands could live in existing community To the editor: Seaton is one, scary 70,000- resident project, and that it’s located on one of last intact cold watersheds in the GTA is environmentally repugnant. Its location has nothing to do with logic and everything to do with politics. Traffic in Pickering will be a nightmare when Seaton resi- dents percolate home through established neighbourhoods. Seaton residents won’t all be taking Hwy. 407, why should they have to pay to get work. As for Seaton providing jobs, don’t get your hopes up: it’ll require an airport and the best jobs will still be in Toronto. Instead of fighting the competitive com- muting advantage Pickering en- joys to one of the world’s major business centres, Pickering should embrace it. There is an alternative to Seaton and it’s already fully ser- viced. Bayly Street between Liv- erpool and Brock roads could be home to 70,000 people, book-ended with two GO sta- tions, a dense community com- mercially robust enough to sup- port walking as the travel mode of choice and rich enough for frequent transit service. It’s been said people move to Pickering to live in a house and don’t want to live at Yonge and St. Clair. OK and we’re here al- ready. Maybe it should be what has to be done so people at Yonge and St, Clair want to live here. It’s simple, walking neigh- bourhoods with convenient shopping and good transit. It’s not all council’s fault that they lack the vision for alterna- tive growth plans for Pickering. Funding formulae force new development on cities to make budgets work. It’s time cities re- ceived the independent funding they deserve to stop the devel- opment lunacy we’re forced to endure. A mature council would save their time selling Seaton to Pickering residents and work on a new deal for cities.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY /4& Highway of Heroes a mark of respect Ultimate price merits recognition T he decision by the provincial government to mark the 170-kilometre stretch of Hwy. 401 from Trenton to To- ronto as the ‘Highway of Heroes’ is timely recognition for those who make the ultimate sacrifice for Canada. The roadway, much of which bisects Durham Region, has been marked for months now by scenes of many ordinary Canadians coming out to greet the military procession from Canadian Forces Base Trenton to the downtown Toronto offices of the provincial coroner. Overpasses have been filled with all manner of people: fire- fighters, police officers, emergency services workers, old, young, men, women, children -- they have made a point to salute our fallen soldiers, slain in the desert of Afghanistan. There was nothing planned, no cynical political maneouvr- ing done, no public relations move to bring people out to those bridges. No, they came there on their own, because they wanted to show how much they care. This past Sunday, the bodies of Master Warrant Officer Mario Mercier, 43, and Master Corporal Christian Duchesne, 34, both of the 2nd Battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment (the famed Van Doos), were brought down the highway to the salutes of many varied people. A few months ago, Durham’s own Trooper Darryl Caswell, a native of Bowmanville, gave his life in Afghanistan and travelled the Highway of Heroes. It’s important to point out the highway designation has noth- ing to do with jingoism, war-mongering, support of George W. Bush or any other political aim. It simply realizes that 69 soldiers and one diplomat have now sacrificed their lives for our mission in Afghanistan. They have done their duty and this is our humble way of remembering that. The sad but inescapable truth is that there will be more sol- emn trips along this highway as our commitment to the Afghan mission extends to February 2009 and may last longer. But, one thing we can count on. Canadians by the thousands will be there, every time, to salute our heroes. This Week’s Question: Which party will win the provincial election?

Cops were acting solely on a hunch and denied Roland Liebregts the most basic of rights afforded to him under the Charter of Rights when they appre- hended and questioned him near his Taunton Road home in the early morn- ing hours of Sept. 23, 2005, Justice Barry MacDougall said in his ruling. “I find the violations of the appli- cant’s Charter rights were serious,” the judge said, shortly before dismissing charges that included possession of a substance for the purpose of traffick- ing. The ruling was hailed by defence lawyer Jacqueline An, who said Dur- ham police handled the investigation “very badly.” “Today justice has been served,” Ms. An said. “This whole case was a test of our constitution.” During a charter application earlier this month Justice MacDougall heard testimony from Durham officers who said they found Mr. Liebregts emerg- ing from a cornfield clutching a flash- light after they’d responded to the area for a suspicious person report. Skeptical of Mr. Liebregts’s explana- tion that he was checking the property in the wake of a rash of burglaries, an officer detained him in a police cruiser for more than half an hour, eventually extracting a confession that a green- house on his property held more than 1,000 marijuana plants. Justice MacDougall ruled that the detention was unconstitutional, as po- lice had no proof of criminal activity. Incriminating statements Mr. Liebregts made in the cruiser and during a vid- eotaped interview were inadmissible at trial, the judge ruled. He said police should have ceased their questioning after the man asked to speak to a law- yer. “In my view the admission of this ... evidence would further bring the administration of justice into disre- pute,” Justice MacDougall said in his ruling, delivered Monday afternoon at the Whitby courthouse. Ms. An said outside court the judge’s findings are consistent with the spirit of the Charter. “What we’re talking about is an indi- vidual’s right to move freely,” she said. “Once they hold you, the police have to have more than suspicion. “They grabbed him until he made a confession.” Mr. Liebregts, 60, has no criminal record. He lost his job after news of the case broke and has lived with the prospect of his property being forfeited under the Province’s Civil Remedies Act, which allows for the seizure and resale of properties used in the commission of crime. Mr. Liebregts said he grew the mari- juana for an organization which dis- tributed it to AIDS and cancer pa- tients.

As you get ready to head back to school, here’s an opportunity for your Grade 5 or 6 class to be part of a fun project this year. Metroland Durham Region Media Group is looking for nine classes throughout Durham Region who are interested in producing a weekly weather webcast for one month dur- ing the school year for our website, durhamregion.com. It’s a great way for students to learn about this new form of media, practise research and writing skills, improve public speaking and work as a team to produce the weekly weather forecast. Before classes start their projects, Metroland’s videographer Stefanie Swinson and meteorologist Jill Tay- lor from 680 News will visit the cho- sen classrooms, explaining their jobs and providing students with tips for the webcasts. Each webcast will include the weekend weather forecast and one other news items such as a “streeter” in which a Junior Webcaster will ask classmates about a given topic, a report on weather patterns for the coming month or a news report on an environmental initiative in the school. As Junior Webcasters, students will research and write the scripts for the weekly 3-minute webcasts, cre- ate the set and appear on camera. The webcast will be filmed and produced by the Metroland Durham Region Media Group on Thursday afternoons. Students will be invited to assist the videographers in the filming. A new weather webcast will air on our website, durhamregion. com, every Friday. And one lucky student from each class will get the chance to visit 680 News, taking a tour with Ms. Taylor. To enter, ask your teacher to us send an e-mail explaining in 100 words or less why your Grade 5 or 6 class should be chosen as Junior Weather Webcasters. Entries must include the teacher’s name, name of school, school ad- dress and a daytime phone number. E-mail them to interactive@durhamregion.com by Sept. 14. Winners will be notified Sept. 17 and given their webcast month assignments with the first in- class visit being Sept. 26 for the Oc- tober webcasts.

[ Soccer ] Pickering Spirit captures U.S. tournament title PICKERING — The Pickering Spirit girls’ under-14 rep soccer team aimed high to capture the 25th annual Amherst Invitational Memorial (AIM) Tournament championship. In the final of the New York tour- nament, Pickering turned the tables against a team from Pittsburgh, which had defeated them in preliminary play. Pickering connected early for a quick 2-0 lead, with the outcome never in doubt as the Spirit cruised to a 4-0 victory to claim the title. Pickering prevailed 2-1 over a team from the Rochester area in a hard-fought semifinal game. In the opener, the Pickering under- 14s fell 2-1 to a determined Pittsburgh squad. The Spirit rebounded to win its next two round-robin games by scores of 4-1 and 4-0, respectively, to earn a semifinal berth. [ Softball ] Pickering Prowlers drop semifinal game at provincials PICKERING — The Pickering Prowlers mite select softball team just missed out on a trip to the finals at the recent provincial championships in Pickering. Nine teams competed at the provincials, including Orleans, Os- goode-Rideau, Perth Road, Kitchener, Richmond Hill, Port Perry, Scarbor- ough East, Topham Park and the host Pickering team. Pickering advanced to the semifi- nals, where it met Topham Park with a finals berth on the line. Topham Park picked the right time to record its first win against the Prowlers this season (no score was reported). Topham Park would move on to meet Port Perry in the provincial final, with Port Perry winning the title. The Pickering Prowlers defeated Richmond Hill, Osgoode-Rideau and Kitchener in pool play, which gave Pickering first place in its division and a semifinal spot. The Prowlers received strong pitching efforts from Mitchell Noble, Jerret Johns and Nathan Volpe. An- drew Deschenes recorded his first tournament grand-slam home run. It was a great day of ball and a great end to a season that the Pickering mite boys can be proud of. In tournament play the boys lost only two games all season and compiled a 17-2 record, winning three consecutive tournaments. Pickering Prowlers’ team mem- bers are Nathan Volpe, Jerret Johns, Mitchell Noble, Colton Robinson, Scott Henning, Nathan Latty, Jamie Russell, Brayden Jobin, Joshua Kelly, David Hemingway, Owen Williams and An- drew Deschenes.

Pickering’s Laura Barnes follows brother Warren to U. of Pittsburgh swim team on scholarship By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Pickering swimmer Laura Barnes will follow her older brother to the University of Pitts- burgh this fall on a four-year athletic scholarship. Both Barnes will compete for the U. of Pittsburgh Panthers swim team, with Warren , 22, is in his final year at the uni- versity, where he’s been on the Dean’s Honour Roll and is a let- terman for aca- demic and ath- letic success. He’ll graduate with a degree in communica- tions next year. “He’s been taking me around and showing me where my classes are,” says Barnes, 19, of having her broth- er on campus. Barnes says she’s already been to several optional practices, but the “hard stuff” will begin after La- bour Day. Barnes will fill a niche in breaststroke events for the Panthers’ women’s team. And, so far, everything with the U.S. university experience has been positive. “Yeah, everyone has been so nice and accepting,” she says, although she admits some of the team mem- bers have good-naturedly ribbed her about her Canadian pronunciation of words. In addition to having her brother there, Barnes notes he decision to attend the U. of Pittsburgh -- over three other universities attempting to put her signature on a scholarship -- was an easy one. Although she had scholarship of- fers from the University of Arkansas, Western Kentucky and South Caro- lina before finally settling on Pitts- burgh, Barnes noted she was highly influenced by her brother Warren’s positive experience at the univer- sity. Moreover, the U. of Pittsburgh’s solid reputation as one of the top collegiate swimming programs, with strong coaching and academic repu- tations, went a long way toward so- lidifying her decision to relocate to the Pennsylvania city. As for the U. of Pittsburgh women’s swim team, it has been on a steady climb in the NCAA Big East Confer- ence championships, finishing sec- ond the last two years. The Panthers have a strong group of recruits this year, which they hope will lead them to victory in 2008. Barnes says she’s undecided about her university major, so she’ll take arts and science courses for the time being. She’s been a member of the Scar- borough Swim Club for the past seven years. Laura credits her coach, Sylvain Pineau, for giving her the drive and belief that she could suc- ceed in the pool. The club and team- mates have been supportive of Lau- ra’s endeavours. “My coach (at Scarborough) is re- ally good. He pushed me and got me where I wanted to be,” says Barnes, a graduate of Dunbarton High School. Like brother, like sister Fast Facts Highlights of Laura Barnes’ Canadian swimming career: • Member of the 2007 Canadian Junior Pan-Pac team, Kihei, Hawaii; • Qualified and participated in Canadian National Championships (placing in the top five in Canada) 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007; • Qualified for World Trials and Commonwealth Games Trials; • Qualified and participated in United States Grand Prix 2003, 2004, and 2005, 2006 and 2007; • Junior Provincial silver medallist 2005; • Recipient of the Scarborough Swim Club’s ‘Top Attendance Award’ 2003/04, - 2005/06, 2006/2007; • Recipient of the Pickering Swim Club’s ‘Top Swimmer Award’ 2000 through 2007. Laura Barnes OHL teams to play pre-season contest in Pickering Hosted by the PHA, Battalion-Bulls game to raise funds for Durham Dragons special hockey PICKERING — The Ontario Hockey League is coming to Pickering to play a pre-season game in support of a worth- while local cause next month. The Brampton Battalion plays the Belleville Bulls in the exhibition contest at the Pickering Recreation Complex’s Delaney Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the evening will go to the Ajax- based Durham Dragons Special Hockey Association and the Pickering Hockey Association Hockey Development Program. The Durham Dragons will play a game prior to the OHL pre-season game, with the Dragons’ game starting at 5:30 p.m. Brampton and Belleville are touted to be strong teams in the OHL this season. The Battalion will have Cody Hodgson in the lineup, just back from the World Under-18 Championships in the Czech Republic. Also in the line-up will be the Battalion’s No. 1 pick from this season, Matt Duchesne. Belleville was an OHL semifinal- ist last season and will feature Shawn Lalonde, also back from the world U18s, along with first-round draft pick Tyler Randell. Tickets are reserved seating for the game and are $10, available at Don Beer Arena any Monday to Thursday prior to the event from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Pickering Hockey Association Office. Canadian men’s relay team comes up short in heat at worlds Pickering’s Anson Henry runs second leg of race PICKERING — The 2007 IAAF World Track and Field Championships ended short of the medal podium for Pickering’s Anson Henry Friday. Henry, running for Canada in the men’s 4-x-100-metre relay, saw his hopes of a medal dashed after the team finished seventh in its qualify- ing race in Osaka, Japan in a time of 39.43. The Brazilian team won the heat in 38.27 seconds. The Great Brit- ain team and Poland also qualified for Saturday’s final out of Heat 1. Henry ran the second leg of the race for the Canadians. It was reported botched exchanges, including one between Henry and Jared Connaughton, hurt the team’s chances of reaching the final. Other members of Canada’s relay team were Richard Adu-Bobie of Ot- tawa, Connaughton of Charlottetown, and Neville Wright of Edmonton. The American 4-x-100m relay team captured the gold medal at the world championships. Henry also ran in the men’s 100 metres where he advanced to the semifinal round before finishing sixth in a time of 10.20 seconds, which was a mere two one hundredths of a sec- ond behind the final qualifier in the race. American Tyson Gay was the even- tual winner of the 100 metre final at worlds, in 9.85 seconds. PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ September 5, 2007A/P ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com Spirits come to life at Pickering museum A walk through the former Pickering Township’s colourful history By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING — An important part of Pickering and Canada’s history will be told by candlelight later this month. The Pickering Museum Village hosts ‘A Spirit Walk’ Sept. 14, 21 and 22, with eight shows a night starting at 7:15 p.m. The Backwoods Players perform the combination play and historical tour of Pickering Township’s history from roughly 1790 to 1837, presented in vari- ous sites and scenes, indoors and out, at the Village. “There’s a lot of kids today and a lot of young adults who can tell you a lot of stuff about the American Revolution and Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin, and they don’t know the history right in their backyard,” says Spirit Walk direc- tor and former Durham principal John Edmonds. The real-life story, told by 65 actors, 54 of whom represent documented, actual people, begins in the late 18th century, with settlers arriving in the heavily for- ested Pickering Township to begin a new life. Mr. Edmonds says they were given two years from the time they received their land to build a shelter, barn and clear their roadways. The back-breaking work meant it was beneficial to have a lot of sons and daughters, he notes. However other people, in tight with the ruling Family Compact, were absen- tee landlords who did not have to clear their land and follow the tight timeline imposed. Before responsible govern- ment arrived, the Family Compact was a small group of public servants, virtually a local aristocracy, who made all the deci- sions in Upper Canada. If settlers were not members of the Church of England and Tories, they couldn’t send their kids to school and have access to what at the time were desired jobs, such as postmas- ter or road inspector. The unfairness of this system was a fine breeding ground for rebellion, and among those who demanded change was Pickering Township’s Rev. George Barclay, who travelled the countryside criticizing the Family Compact and call- ing for change. A descendant of the rev- erend still lives in his historic home in north Pickering. On Dec. 7, 1837 “rebels” decided to take action and overthrow the existing order. Among them were between 47 and 67 Pickering Township residents who took their pitchforks and other ru- dimentary weapons, and a few guns, and went to Toronto to be a part of the Upper Canada Rebellion. Their job was to hold the Don River bridge, now Dundas Street, to prevent troops from entering the city and engaging other reb- els. But the Pickering residents were seri- ously out-gunned by British Redcoats, who had guns and cannons, and the re- bellion in general was quickly quashed. All the rebels were arrested and some were sent to New Zealand. Other were banished and never allowed to return to Canada. Peter Matthews, who led the Pickering rebels, was hanged and his family fled Canada to Michigan, where descendants still reside. Mr. Edmonds notes that a descendant makes the trip to the Village every year to see A Spirit Walk. ‘A Spirit Walk’ is not suitable for kids 13 or 14 years of age and under. Others should consider that parts of the tour are out of doors on uneven ground. Tickets are $15 each. For more infor- mation and tickets, call the Pickering Museum Village at 905-683-8401. It’s located in the Hamlet of Greenwood in north Pickering, at Greenwood Road and the 6th Concession Road, just south of Hwy. 7 and west of Westney Road. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Robert Lauria, Alannah Brown, Samantha Williams and Melissa Cadman rehearse a scene from the Backwoods Players’ production of ‘A Spirit Walk’. The outdoor performance at the Pickering Museum Village leads the audience through a tour of history around the time of the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion. Practise makes perfect PICKERING — Eight-year-old Shamira Kandiah watches as Thiviyaah Push- parajah, Trishna Swaminathan, Delany Kandiah, Sujentha Shandrakumar and Kirutiga Shivalingam practise their danc- ing at the Kandiah residence in Pickering. The girls will perform at the Durham Tamil Association 2007 Youth Festival on September 15. The free event is at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax, starting at 6 p.m. Photo by Jennifer Roberts Karen Richardson exhibits recent works By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Take a moment and stop into the Kent Farndale Gallery over the next month. You’ll find the watercolour works of Port Perry artist Karen Richardson on display and you might just find some joy. Just A Moment is the new display at the gallery, featuring some of Richard- son’s more recent works, including ones influenced by trips to Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Cuba. From florals (she’s an avid gardener) to landscapes to little snippets of na- ture, her watercolours show the simply beauty of everyday life, the artist said. “I can look at something which might seem to be ordinary or even old, ugly things and see beauty in them,” she said. “I just have an unconscious way of per- ceiving things that make other people see that, It’s all about optimism. I’m into happy stuff. It’s a reflection of my own positive outlook on life.” People viewing her work often feel themselves relaxing, taking a deep breath and just enjoying the moment. “My work is very restful,” she said. “It just makes people slow down and be in the moment. A lot of people just thank me for sharing beautiful things, for a little beauty I bring to their lives. I often tell people I’m in the joy business.” Her inspiration comes from all around her, whether she’s at home in Port Perry or further afield. At a recent show in Buckhorn, her works from her Cuban trip, including architectural pieces, drew people in, she said. When she and her husband are travel- ling, Richardson doesn’t often have time to stop and draw. So she takes many photographs. “My primary source is my photog- raphy because we’re on vacation and I can’t stop and paint for six hours.” After she’s home, she’ll sort through them, picking out the scenes she wants to transpose into watercolours. Her choices are instinctual, something she can’t really describe. “I’ll look at something and it just has a wonderful rhythm, it just draws you in,” she said. This summer they went to Newfound- land and she believes she’s got 10 years worth of inspiration in her photos. (Don’t look for anything from Newfoundland in the exhibition, though.) Asked if she has a favourite work, she doesn’t hesitate. “My favourite is always my next one,” she said. “Although there are some I wish I could live with longer.” However, she takes photos of all her watercolours and catalogues them, so if she’s feeling a little nostalgic, she can go back and visit them whenever she wants. Richardson has been involved in art from childhood, sketching and painting almost every day every as a child. She studied art and architectural drawing in high school but left it behind on gradu- ation. But a decade later, she took a wa- tercolour course and was hooked again. She took more courses, honed her skills and painted part-time before retiring and turning to watercolours full time. She has about 400 paintings in na- tional and international collections. You can find a list of shows and samples of her work, even step-by-step lessons in watercolours on her website, www. karenrichardson.ca. Just A Moment is one at the gallery, located in the Scugog Memorial Public Garden, 231 Water St., until Oct. 4.

The opening re- ception is set for Sept. 8, from 1 to 4 p.m. DURHAM — The Horseless Car- riagemen, Durham’s barbershop cho- rus, has a new look. A new director was chosen over the summer and it’s Kim Alexander. She has an extensive background in music, theatre production and business. Alexander has worked as director and producer of Broadway-style mu- sicals, and also worked in everything from choreography to fundraising in the theatre world. The Durham District School Board business teacher has taught piano and voice instruction and theory and trained as a soprano. She’s sung with church choirs and groups such as County Town Singers and Durham Philharmonic Choir. She recently chaired the 15th anni- versary concert committee for Young Singers in Ajax. Her goals for the barbershop chorus include adding to the repertoire, re- cruiting new singers, making sure all singers enjoy the process and compet- ing annually at competitions. The Horseless Carriagemen are looking for more singers, especially for the Christmas season, when it’s busy going to hospitals, seniors homes and helping local charities raise money. Male singers interested need to at- tend five Monday rehearsals starting in mid-October, be able to carry a tune but not necessarily read music. Of course, anyone wanting to join on a regular basis is more than welcome. Auditions are held Mondays starting Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Glen Stew- art Park clubhouse, Cartier and Cabot streets, Oshawa. The chorus’s annual spring concert is May 3 at Eastdale Collegiate in Os- hawa. For details about the chorus, go to www.horselesscarriagemen.com or contact Jim Murdoch at 905-697-2405 or Rick Faulkner at 905-666-4779.
