PICKERING Wednesday, July 29, 2009 NNews ews AAddveverr titisseerrTHE Pickering still blooms Although different, beautification program still a success BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Although Pickering opted out of Communities in Bloom this year, the City’s less expensive but just as community-focused program has been a success. Pickering in Blooms promotes beautifica- tion, environmental stewardship and sustain- ability in the city. Despite winning top hon- ours in Communities in Bloom in 2007 and 2008, the City chose not to join the provincial competition this year due to limited resourc- es. Pickering Blooms is budgeted for $15,000, compared to the $30,000 CIB would cost, said the City’s superintendent of municipal opera- tions, John Hannah. The City was able to continue CIB’s main goal of community pride through Pickering Blooms, just in a less competitive way. For example, the Garden Showcase allows resi- dents to register their gardens and get help from well-informed volunteers, rather than compete for awards. “It’s much more than just your front yard,” he said. “It’s your community as a whole.” He added about 100 people have signed up, similar to last year. Besides, it allows residents to get creative; they can even share pictures of their gardens online. “That’s what we’re encouraging, is the indi- viduality,” Mr. Hannah said. Resident Howard Kopstick has demonstrat- ed the community aspect for many years by helping people in his neighbourhood with their gardens. “It’s his way of giving back and ensuring RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND PICKERING -- Melanie Kopstick stood proudly in her father’s beautiful garden. Melanie’s father Howard is a proud participant in Pickering Blooms and is the neighbourhood expert when it comes to gardening.

York officials move it across the street and out of Durham BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- An odour control facility originally planned for Pickering has been moved back into York Region. But, just barely. The facility will be built on the west side of the York-Durham boundary, between the Taunton-Steeles connection and the 4th Concession Road. It’s part of the expansion of the ‘Big Pipe’, which carries sewage from York to the treatment plant in south Pickering, next to the nuclear generating station. York is doing to the work to accommodate growth in that region. The odour control facility was original- ly planned to be constructed on Altona Road, south of the Cherrywood West ham- let. However, residents living near there objected and York officials agreed to con- sider another site. In May, they announced a location immediately opposite the site where York now wants to put the facility. Again resi- dents complained, feeling the site was still too close to homes and the facility should be in York, where the waste is generated. York officials hosted a public informa- tion session at the Cedar Grove Commu- nity Centre in Markham on Thursday, July 23. “Obviously, there’s the spirit of (the law) and the letter of (the law)” White- vale resident Peter Rodrigues said of put- ting the facility just across the border from Pickering. “We are going to continue to fight it right through to the Ministry of the Environ- ment,” Mr. Rodrigues added. Peter Herrmann said he was “disap- pointed” with the latest location. “They heard our disappointment and they only put it on the other side of the town line,” Mr. Herrmann said. “There’s no guarantee there’s no odour.” York Chairman Bill Fisch had spoken of “a partnership and how he wanted to work with the citizens of Pickering,” Mr. Herrmann noted. Moving the facility “to one side of the road to adhere to a council decision is insulting.” The latest option shows “a lack of con- sideration for the residents of Pickering,” Mr. Herrmann said. “It’s only shown York had very little interest in the benefit of Pickering residents. It’s only for the ben- efit of the residents of York Region.” “They’re not meeting the spirit and intent of the motion of Durham Region,” said Rick Nicolussi, a Cherrywood West resident. He dismissed the claim no odours would come from the plant. “They can’t prove that. There’s been no other facility this big. They have nothing to show us.” “I’ve lived in Pickering all my life. I’m an antique. Why is Durham Region picked to be the dumping ground for everything from York Region?” asked Lydia Dobbin of Cherrywood West. Erin Mahoney, the commissioner of environmental services for York Region, disagreed with comments about not meet- ing the intent of council motions. “I actually think it is in the spirit. We’re moving away from a more concentrated centre of development. It’s out of Dur- ham,” she said. “It’s out in rural area. “Can an odour control facility be within urban areas? They can,” she said, noting York is building one in the area of Bayview Avenue and Hwy. 407. “The community didn’t want” the facil- ity near Cherrywood West, she said. “We responded to the community. The best place is where we had it. On balance, we’ve heard the needs of the community and we’ve responded to it.” There would be “non-detectable odours coming out of the stack,” she said. York is completing an environmental assessment for the expansion and will be filing that with the provincial environment ministry by the end of the summer. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 20093 P Great Family Vacations begin with a trip to Owasco RV “Experience the Lifestyle” You’re in Owasco Country We won’t be undersold!!!

But, the Taliban wasn’t the most likely or frequent demon of his dreams. “My greater nightmares had to do with running out,” Lt. Col. Conrad said. “Running out” might be con- sidered the ultimate fear of a logistics officer tasked with ensuring proper supply of a mil- itary at war. And it was all too possible a situation for a logisti- cian facing a difficult geography, far from home and the availabil- ity of supplies, with a serious shortage of people-power. That’s the story Lt. Col. Con- rad tells in his new book What the Thunder Said: Reflections of a Canadian Officer in Kanda- har. It’s a story of an undervalued but essential group, one attacked with sometimes tragic results again and again by the enemy, tasked with ensuring those bat- tling on the front lines had what they needed when they needed it to fight a war using non-tradi- tional means. “The logistics arm’s sole rai- son d’etre is to serve the needs of the combat forces,” he writes. “However, can you fight with- out bullets, without water? As trite as it sounds, logistics are ignored at the commander’s peril.” But, he explains in his book, the combination of a seemingly long-bred disdain for the logis- tics branch pervasive in the Canadian military and the fact Canada has long been insulated from real war, caused a shortage in staffing and made the job of his corps all the more arduous. Even before he left Canada for Afghan soil, he knew he was under-manned, said Lt.-Col. Conrad, who has also, in his 25- year military career, served in Cambodia and Bosnia. He was told he could have no more than 300 logistics soldiers -- not nearly enough, he felt, given the growing forces at that point in Kandahar. His book tells of convoys under attack, of soldiers dying, of his fear of his own shortcom- ings. But more than anything, it tells of a group of soldiers who did great work under trying cir- cumstances. “A lot of my soldiers were charred black on the inside” on their return from Afghanistan, he said. The book in many ways stems from a “deep desire to give voice to unsung heroes” about whom “little is recorded, and they are no less brave” than those on the front lines. Lt.-Col. Conrad said he also hopes the book will urge those in positions of power to increase numbers and status of those who serve in the logistics arm. But beyond that, writing the book was cathartic, he said, not- ing he first wrote out of “the overwhelming, strongest desire ... to talk about it.” Authoring the book “helped me to recali- brate” as he returned to life as a husband and father of four, aged seven through 14, in Orono. “It’s taken me a long time to come home from Kandahar,” he said. Page 6 - Today’s editorial JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND ORONO -- Lieutenant-Colonel John Conrad has written a book, called ‘What The Thunder Said: Reflections of a Canadian Officer in Kandahar. Its’s based on his time in Afghanistan in 2006. It’s taken me a long time to come home from Kandahar. Lieutenant-Colonel John Conrad, Orono Durham residents live in constant fear of basement floods during every extreme rainfall BY PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As the light drizzle quickly turned into a heavy downpour by mid- afternoon on July 25, Mar- garet Middleton peered out her window and held her breath in fear. As a Lawrie Road resident in south Ajax where base- ment flooding has occurred three times in eight years, she is constantly concerned about when the next flood might be. “Every time it rains, you worry,” she said, adding that she and her husband Ray lost their insurance after two floods in their home where the previous owners also reported similar expe- riences. “I think everybody on the street gets worried and when you’ve gone through it as many times as we’ve gone through it, you don’t want it to happen again.” Last summer’s record rainfall, referred to as a 100-year storm by Town of Whitby staff last fall, pum- melled the region during the months of June, July and August. The excessive rain saturated the ground, forced the underground storm sys- tem beyond its capacity and penetrated through to more than 100 residences. Some of the worst hit areas of the region were in southwest Whitby, primar- ily along Annes Street where many residents dealt with everything from garbage to feces flowing into their homes. When questioned on Sun- day morning, Annes Street residents said they haven’t noticed any recent prob- lems since Saturday’s tor- rential rainfall but know it could happen again when least expected. “It mostly took place over in the south section of the street so we’re OK and we were last year too but I know a lot of people who’ve seen some of the worst of it,” said Rhonda Bennett. Diliana Pazin, from Cov- ington Drive in Brooklin, was visiting her parents in Scarborough during Satur- day’s rainfall but made sure to phone her neighbour to check the condition of their basement. “There was the usual amount of water coming down between the homes but nothing in our base- ments this time,” she said, relieved after $3,000 worth of her possessions were wiped out in last year’s storms. The major flooding in 2008 happened after a peri- od of continuously pro- longed rainfall over several days causing the ground to become overly saturated, which explains the smaller likelihood for flooding this time, she added. “The amount of rain com- pared to last year’s was also considerably less. Last year, it was just like a sheet of rain and the streets literally turned into rivers.” Though no residential basements appeared to have been invaded with water after Saturday’s rainfall, one look at Coldstream Drive in Oshawa clearly highlighted the extent of the downpour. “Because they’re con- structing newer homes up in the subdivision above us, construction scrap gets washed down with the mud and comes down the street,” said Phil Ballantyne. “It actually came down the street in a big river and then it’s left all over the road, which could cause a whole lot of other problems for people besides flooding, like damage to their tires.” Margaret Mulhall, also of Lawrie Road, said she spent $3,600 two weeks ago to install a backflow prevention device and a sump pump in anticipation of the forecast- ed rains since picking up the pieces after a disastrous flood hit her basement last year. “Before we put those in, every time it rained, we would pick everything up from the floor and put it on the couch,” she said. “It’s nice to have a little piece of mind now at least.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 20095 AP WearepleasedtoannounceKamJotsinghani astheNewestadditiontoourHoganFamilyof SalesProfessionals!

All content copyright Editorial Opinions PATRIOTISM Government should lower flags for Afghanistan fallen To the editor: Re: Bridge tributes show how much our soldiers mean to us, editorial, July 22. Thank you for writing that wonderful editorial about the bridge tributes. We Canadians have so much to be proud of and grateful for, not the least of which is our young people who are willing to lay down their lives in the cause of peace. Kudos to those citizens who are able to and who attend the bridge tributes along the Highway of Heroes! Certainly our government does not seem interested in offering any tribute. Our federal government owes it to our fallen soldiers to, at the very least, lower the flags on federal buildings to half-mast. Those of us who feel this way should be voicing our opinions to our elected rep- resentatives and putting pressure on them to ensure the soldiers are not made to be pawns in the political game and I intend to begin a letter-writing campaign to various MPs, ministers and opposition critics to try to get them to do something about this. Hopefully, other citizens will take up the cause. Maria Davis Pickering CIVIC SPIRIT Community looks after one another To the editor: I’m writing today to celebrate my commu- nity and the special people who live in it. Having moved to Toronto years ago to attend university I often find myself miss- ing the feeling of community that comes with living in a small town, yet recently sev- eral things have happened that have rein- forced what a great neighbourhood I live in. My neighbour’s young daughter just donat- ed her ponytail to an association that makes wigs for cancer victims. She had been grow- ing her long dark hair for more than a year. I am very proud of her. This afternoon I left my purse in a grocery cart at the Amberlea Metro store. I returned within minutes of noticing that I had left it in the cart to find that a man had found my purse and turned it in to one of the cashiers. I am grateful for his honesty. I would do the same! Truth be known, my community feels a lot like a small town. We really do look after each other. Christine Flagler Pickering ENVIRONMENT Current weather makes it easy to doubt global warming To the editor: Re: Beware of the myth of global warming, John D. Ferguson letter, July 15. I have to agree with John D. Ferguson, but not completely. Environmental changes hap- pen all the time. They are cyclical in nature. I don’t know about you, but where did the days of 33-plus degrees in July go? Our last two summers sucked, if I was being honest! Might I also add that our last two winters pounded us “old-school” style with record dumps of snow. I’m not seeing anything different now, then back when I was a kid, except we had tons of snow every winter, it was cold and bitter. Then came summer; 30-plus with the humi- dex almost every summer day, diving down to a balmy 26 at night. Global cooling, now that I believe! I’m sure we are doing some damage with our pollution, but nowhere near what the pros say. Just the point; we’ve all seen the stellar per- formances of our weather men! I’ve yet in 30 years to see any sort of accuracy! I follow the weather religiously! I think more realistic numbers like Mr. Fer- guson pointed out need to be charted and properly compiled. Now go hug a tree, with a warm jacket on, might I add. Chad Scriver Newcastle Afghanistan war vet’s book reveals stark truths about effort Whenever we think of war we tend to focus on men in battle, of images of firefights, bombing raids or search-and-destroy mis- sions. For Canadians lately, the pictures have been of bridge tributes, ramp ceremonies and shots of soldiers in a far-off, dusty desert land. But, it would be the rare person indeed who conjures up logistics or who would know what the term even means. That’s where Lieutenant-Colonel John Conrad of Orono comes in. He plays a cen- tral role in everything that has happened in Canada’s actions in Afghanistan. The career soldier has just penned the pow- erful book, What the Thunder Said: Reflec- tions of a Canadian Officer in Kandahar. The head of logistics for Canada’s mission in Afghanistan -- logistics is the fancy word for supplying the troops with everything they could possibly need and making sure it is in good working order at all times -- Lt.-Col. Conrad’s story is a gripping read. He was in on many of the preparations for the Canadian takeover from the U.S. from 2005 right up until Canada began its mission in Kandahar on March 1, 2006, and spent the first seven and a half months in Afghanistan. That means he saw plenty of fatalities. On July 22, 2006, two soldiers in a convoy he was a part of were killed by improvised explo- sive devices. He was nearly killed himself and had nightmares about whether his lit- tle band of 300 supply troops could keep the entire Canadian Task Force Orion fully sup- plied through the entire campaign. The book is an honest, open and painful admission about the limits of the Canadian military. Lt.-Col. Conrad doesn’t spare him- self either. He worries about whether he has ordered enough ammunition to keep the fighting men and women supplied. He constant- ly concerns himself with the safety of those men and women he is responsible for. But mostly he frets over whether his superiors truly understand what it is they are asking his supply soldiers to do. For Canadian soldiers have been doing peacekeeping so long -- half a century -- that fighting a full-scale war in as harsh a land as Afghanistan has made the problem of sup- plying an army a unique one. Lt.-Col. Con- rad gets it, but it’s clear he feels many of his civilian and military bosses don’t. Still, his troops bravely did their duty per- forming magnificently under scorching heat and nerve-wracking conditions. The book also shows the undeniable closeness men and women feel for one another when under fire. There can surely be no bond quite like that felt by men and women who survive war. Lt.- Col. Conrad brings this to life in his book. What he has revealed is that heroes don’t just travel down the highway, they also walk among us, too. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 20096 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com WE ASKED Every night since my internationally- adopted daughter has joined us 20 short weeks ago, I have taken her to her room, fed her a bottle, looked into her beautiful, deep dark brown eyes and smiled. One night a couple of weeks ago, the rou- tine was the same, but the significance was entirely different -- not for Gracie, but for me. Not surprisingly, it was the same day I discovered Kids Link, (also known as Imagine Adoption) the Ontario agency to facilitate my adop- tion from Ethio- pia, filed for bank- ruptcy. Filed for bank- ruptcy? I couldn’t believe it. Forgive me for being self- ish and self-cen- tred but hearing those three words rocked my world. My disbelief quickly gave way to a heavy heart. On that night, it wasn’t Gracie’s beautiful eyes I saw. It was those helpless, innocent children I saw playing so well on the floor when I visited her old room where she stayed. Little faces now suddenly and forcibly burned on my soul forever because I will always wonder if they found a mama to feed them a bottle and gaze into their eyes at bedtime. Gracie is a lucky girl. And we are an even luckier and more blessed family to have her in our lives. My girlfriend, Cynthia, who I travelled with -- also to be joined with her cute girl Tia -- said it best: “Go and give Gracie a million kisses and be thankful she’s here.” If the bankruptcy had happened only 12 months ago, it would have been me. And I think about what our lives would be like without her, how I would have felt never seeing her face, the joy I would have missed now seeing Alex and Nicholas laugh and play with their treasured sister. And I can’t imagine it. I can’t bear to feel the searing pain and grief. It’s like breathing in a steel dagger. Then I hear the stories of others. Par- ents who have waited years for the privi- lege of becoming a parent, one day woke up to news that must have been like a like a nuclear weapon attack on their heart, mind and spirit. Their stories will make you weep. Two days before the official news, I had to tell the rumours to a friend in Ottawa, who was with the same agency. It was a heart- breaking phone call. And who knows if the money they spent will ever be returned. Trust me, this was not just another bank- ruptcy. There is a river of tears and a path of destruction from here to Ethiopia that will affect my life -- and the lives of others -- forever. Durham resident Nancy Gummow is a frequent contributor to this space. I just spent the equivalent of the GNP of Lichtenstein on new windows, kitch- en countertop and sink for our home. Why don’t I feel the least bit excited about this? On the contrary, it feels like I got 20 bucks stuck inside a birthday card from my grandparents, with a note stipulating I spend it all on sweaters. When you drop a lot of coin on a vacation or a new car or set of golf clubs, you might feel a little nervous, even anxious, about the expenditure. But those misgivings are almost always far outweighed by the fun the new item soon provides. You can’t wait to run on the beach, cruise down the high- way or swat a fat one down the fairway. Not so with windows and countertops. Believe me, I tried. Opening and closing the new windows was fun for about five minutes. The coun- tertop was a complete no-show and the sink didn’t do much better. It approached amusing for a short while but only because of the pully-outty spray thing on the faucet. I feel jobbed. The weird thing is that a lot of other peo- ple seem to take great glee from these new acquisitions. They come into the kitch- en and ooh and ahh. They touch the win- dows and nod with admiration. They look at me with a lucky devil grin. I don’t know if they’re just being polite or they’re idi- ots. Nobody ever oohed and ahhed over my new goalie pads. Now those were cool. Way cooler than the stupid old countertop and windows. Even the new furnace was more fun than this junk. At least it had a manual and switches and stuff. And you could program it. That was pretty cool. Why can’t they make windows you can program? I’d buy those. “Let’s see ... I think we want them up to about six inches at nine a.m. and then we’ll pull the ones on the east side of the house down to semi-closure at sundown. Bet- ter adjust the water sensors as well, just in case of rain.” I could spend a lot of time with windows like that. And, you know, it wouldn’t be that hard to throw a few neat bells and whistles on a counter top. Maybe a “spill alarm” or a “mildew-ometer” or a “crumb vacuum. .. with a HEPA filter that needs to be inspect- ed and changed every 20 loaves.” Come on, I can’t be the only guy out there think- ing about this. I guess this is what it means to be a grown-up. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of money on stuff that is no fun. And it’s a double whammy, let me tell you. Because not only is the new stuff you blew a wad on, not fun, but now, you no longer have any money left for the stuff that is. So you really are stuck sitting in your home, wiping down your new counter and staring out at the world through your crystal-clear, new windows. A world where everyone else, it seems, is out having fun, playing with all their new fun stuff. Jeep- ers.

Wants are way more fun than your needs NEIL CRONE There are many ways a newspaper tracks down a story. Council meetings, talking with com- munity members and receiving letters to the editor, are just a few of the different ways we hear about stories. Phone calls are also a way the public can have their say and once in a while we get an e-mail that can set off a project we can sink our teeth into. Such was the case a few weeks ago when a group of health professionals contacted us in regards to helping peo- ple quit smoking. Oshawa reporter Jillian Follert and online reporter Stefanie Swinson jumped at the chance to turn this single idea into a series by inviting some of our readers to meet with those professionals to try toquit smoking while we covered their attempt. We heard from hundreds of interested smokers who have tried numerous ways to quit the nicotine habit. It was tough to narrow it down to three but in a few weeks you will be reading about a 46-year-old Bowmanville man, a 26-year-old Oshawa woman and an 18-year-old who all want to give up their dependence on cigarettes. We’ll follow them from day one for an entire month to see if they can give up smoking and while we will be writing about them, they will be blogging on our website so they can talk about the strug- gles they are facing. It’s not often a community newspaper will take the leap to become involved in a story like this and follow it through. But after sending reporters to the Bei- jing Olympics, to Nunavut and to France, it’s now something the community expects from us. This may not have all the shine and glory of covering the Olympics but I have a feeling it will be just as compelling to our readers.

P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 200910 AP POLICE More arrests in Durham paving scams BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Two more people have been arrested and warrants for seven other sus- pects have been issued as Durham police continue to investigate the proliferation of paving scams being perpetrated here. Among those charged in the latest round of arrests is the owner of several cheque-cash- ing shops, who Durham investigators allege worked in concert with the scammers by cashing cheques obtained through fraudu- lent acts. The investigation, which included the sei- zure of the cheque-cashing businesses’ computers, revealed a lengthy list of paving companies believed to be involved in fraud throughout Ontario and beyond, said Detec- tive Jeff Caplan. “It’s easily in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars,” Det. Caplan said of the scope of the frauds. The scams crop up every summer and fol- low a similar pattern: Homeowners or mer- chants will be approached by a paving com- pany rep making a cold call to say he’s got asphalt left over from another job, and offering patchwork repairs at a low price. Once a ver- bal agreement is struck the pavers will commence to refinish the entire driveway or park- ing lot, then pres- ent the victim with an exorbitant bill. Sometimes when victims balk at pay- ing, they are intimidated and threatened, police said. The owner of one Oshawa business tar- geted by the scammers July 13 told cops he agreed to pay $2,500 to a paver, only to be pre- sented with a $13,000 bill when the job was done. Police were contacted and investiga- tors found the paving company’s address to be that of a large mall in Mississauga, while its business line was actually a pay-as-you-go cellphone. But cops were watching on July 14 when a representa- tive of the pav- ing company arrived to col- lect on the bill; they followed as he travelled to two cheque-cashing shops in Toronto and Brampton. Cops arrested the suspect and during a search of his vehi- cle found documents linking several paving companies to the ongoing scams. The suspect also happened to be an employee of the cheque-cashing shops at which the victims’ cheques were being pro- cessed. Police allege the suspect was act- ing under the direction of the owner of the cheque-cashing operations. Police obtained search warrants for four of the outlets, seizing data that identified more allegedly fraudulent paving scams that have been operating in the province over the past few years. Police have arrested Hussein Hemani, 36, of Richmond Hill, and 31-year-old Soban Akbar, of Toronto, on fraud-related charges. Arrest warrants have been issued for seven other suspects, all residents of the United Kingdom, and two of whom were implicated in paving scams in Durham Region last sum- mer. Among them is 47-year-old Martin Good- win, who skipped bail after being charged with fraud in Durham and was eventually arrested last fall in Regina. Charges against the man were stayed when he was deported, but he appears to have made his way back to Canada this summer. Also wanted is Michael White, 47, who was also identified as a suspect in paving scams here last summer. The remaining suspects are Martin Good- win Jr., 22; Richard Hall, 29; Levi Lee, 54; John Moss, 51, and Lee Carter, 22.

A number of people face charges related to paving scams in Durham Region. FAST FACTS Police identify companies involved in paving scams A list of the companies believed to be associated with fraudulent activity includes: Belcon Construction Hitech Construction Bedford Construction Excel Paving Elite Paving R Hull Paving M Duarte Paving Broadway Paving R Hall Paving Nelco Paving G Aucoin Paving Town and Country Construction Roadstone Paving Country Paving Tar and Chip Royal Construction C Pollock Paving Ante Rajkovi Paving and Constructions L Carter Paving Pro-Pave Quality Paving Oshawa couple lament a good deal gone bad BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It sounded like a great deal: A contractor offering to patch up some drive- way potholes, for a cheap price, with some asphalt left over from another job in the neighbourhood. So when the man in the hard hat made his pitch, Shelley Diamond accepted, even though there wasn’t a firm price set for the job. “It sounded great,” Ms. Diamond said. “You’ve got leftover stuff, we’ve got a pot- hole.” The couple found out soon enough some- thing was amiss: they left their home on Sim- coe Street in Oshawa shortly after 6 p.m. on a late May evening for their daughter’s soc- cer game, leaving behind a crew that was busily patching a hole in the horseshoe- shaped driveway in front of their house. They returned at about 9 p.m. to find a layer of fresh black asphalt covering all but a few feet at the end of the drive. “I knew it was a scam as soon as I pulled into the driveway that night,” Mr. Haina said. The contractor showed up the next day and demanded $5,000. “I just chuckled,” Mr. Haina said. “I said, ‘That’s not gonna happen’.” The paver left, but continued to seek pay- ment. He persisted until Mr. Haina informed him he’d filed a report with Durham police. Police, acting on the report, have made arrests in what they say were a number of scams that included three frauds in Durham and the case of an elderly Peterborough man who was threatened with death when he tried to withhold payment. BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- So how can homeowners spot a fake paver? There are a few ways to help figure out if the company at the door is not a reputable one, Yves Mageau, from Coco Paving said. Coco Paving typically does road paving, but does some driveway contracts as well. • Reputable pavers will not offer extra, left- over asphalt to neighbours at the end of the day. A driveway paving is typically a two- to three-week process. Old pavement needs to be dug up, new stones need to be poured and time has to be given for them to settle and then new pavement poured, he said. • Because the process is so long, a home- owner would likely notice if one of his or her neighbours was getting a driveway done. Look for signs around the neighbourhood to see which company is paving the house next door. • Always ask for identification and insur- ance from the company that comes knock- ing to make sure they are who they say. • Take a look at what equipment is being used to pave the property. Good companies will use an asphalt paver that looks like the roller used to pave roads, only smaller. They are not likely to use an attachment to a regu- lar truck, like a scammer might, Mr. Mageau said. • Get two to three quotes to gauge how much the job should cost. They should all be within $200 to $300 of each other. Ask to speak to references. • If possible, be there when the company does the work. This way, homeowners can monitor that the work being done is the work that was asked for. • Don’t give in to pressure sales. And if the deal seems to good to be true, it probably is, Mr. Mageau said. How to tell if you’re dealing with a legitimate company It’s easily in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Det. Caplan said of the scope of the frauds newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 200911 P Call 905-428-1212 for walk-in clinic timesCall 905-428-1212 for walk-in clinic times Summer lovin’ New romance!

Besides the Garden Show- case, the City decided to incorporate other existing programs into Pickering Blooms. It includes: adopt- a-park, where schools, organizations or communi- ty groups officially pledge to keep a park of their choosing clean and beautiful; pitch- in-parties, where groups clean up a green space, using tools from the City; community garden main- tenance for those interest- ed in community garden projects; environmental stewardship for environ- mental business, steward- ship or conservation prop- erties; and the eco-schools program, which encourag- es students to take a role in how their school can be run sustainably.

The Pine Ridge Secondary School gradu- ate has signed on for the next two years with Iowa Central Community College where she’ll run cross-country and track and field for the Triton teams. While that will keep the athletic side of her endeavour busy, she will also be study- ing hard in the classroom, working toward bringing her marks up to a level acceptable to continue on a scholarship at a Division-1 school. “I’m going to continue to talk to the schools that I’ve been talking to,” she says of con- tinuing to pursue her ambition of compet- ing at the highest level in the NCAA. “They are all still interested. When I’m (in Iowa), maybe I will see a couple of the schools at some of the meets that I’m at. “They know who I am, so if I just keep in contact with them over the two years, I can choose from whoever I’m still talking to.” Rumble’s marks are what kept her from accepting offers from Missouri State, Flori- da Atlantic, Wagner College and the Univer- sity of Buffalo, while some of the Division-2 offers from University of Central Missouri, Northwood University and Ashland Univer- sity didn’t meet expectations. The package from Iowa Central was hard to turn down. In return, Rumble will be bringing an impressive list of accomplishments to Iowa Central. She won a silver medal in the 4x100m relay and finished fifth in the senior girls’ 400m at the OFSAA championships. During the indoor and outdoor seasons, she set six school records and seven meet records in the 300m, 400m, 600m and 800m as well as the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Off the track, she is a two-time OFSAA qualifier in cross country, placing 32nd at last year’s championships despite only training for two years. She was the MVP of the track and cross- country teams and, for the second year in a row, was named the Pine Ridge Athlete of the Year. Her specialty is the 400m, but it’s cross country that will require her to arrive at the college in early August, a departure that she is looking forward to, but a destination she didn’t expect. “I’m excited,” she admits. “It’s going to be different. “It’s definitely not a surrounding I would have picked or would have ever envisioned myself going to, being in corns fields and stuff. “It’s a good way for me to get back on track and focus for two years and get my marks up so that I can be where I want to be.” She plans on taking business courses to help prepare for being an entrepreneur when she graduates.

B LACROSSE Ajax-Pickering Rock rebound in Game 2 to tie Norwood in playoff series AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Rock bounced right back into their playoff series with the Norwood Nitro. Just two nights after falling 12- 6 in the series opener in Norwood, the Rock returned home Sunday and posted a much-needed 7-5 victory in Game 2. The series is now tied 1-1 with Game 3 scheduled for Friday at Nor- wood. After going scoreless in the first period, the Rock tallied four times in the second and three in the third to take control and capture the victory. Ajax-Pickering goals were scored by Reg Van Velzen, Darryl Burkhart, Jakub Novacek, Bryan Johnson, Gar- rett Kerr and Jonas Derks with a pair. The two goals by Derks came in the third period, the second of which served as the eventual game-winning marker with just under 10 minutes remaining in the frame. Novacek added three assists for a four-point night, while captain Glenn Clark, Clem D’Orazio, Travis Bland, and Jamie Plunkett each added a pair of assists. The scoring was so spread out during the game for the Rock that only five runners failed to record points. In Game 1 it was Mac O’Brien putting on the shot for Norwood with five-points, including two goals, while scoring for the Rock was D’Orazio, Clark, Plunkett, Johnson, Bland and Nate Reid.

Veteran swimmer Christine Raininger led the way with her 400m individual medley swim, which was the team’s top-scoring swim of the weekend. The swim was also a best time for Raininger by 14 seconds, and she broke the club record by over seven seconds. Raininger also shattered the club record in the 200m butterfly. Not to be outdone was 15-year- old Devin Ste. Marie, who broke the club record in the 100m but- terfly and placed 15th. Ste. Marie also appeared in the B Final of the 50 butterfly, plac- ing 16th after narrowly missing the club record in her morning swim. Ste. Marie also performed best times in the 100m and 200m free- style events. Michelle Fleming lowered her best time by five seconds in the 200m breaststroke, which was good enough for a 14th place fin- ish in the B Final. Fleming swam best times for the weekend in the 50m and 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley events. Julian Monks continued to find his form with a new club record in the 50m breaststroke, and strong swims in his other events, while Zach Fedak and Nick Ducille hit lifetime best times in the 50m and 100m fly on their way to National standards in both. Chris Tanouye, Alex Andrechuk and Tom Lawrie also put in strong swims over the course of the weekend. Of the contingent of competitors the Ajax club sent to the event, all but one athlete was 18 years of age or younger. PHOTO BY DARCY STE. MARIE MONTREAL -- Ajax Aquatic Club member Christine Raininger and eight others hit the pool recently in Montreal. JR. C LACROSSE Patriots fall to Peterborough in Game 1 of series West Durham hits the road Thursday for Game 3 PICKERING -- The West Dur- ham Patriots couldn’t ride the wave of their hot start in Game 1 of their Jr. C lacrosse playoff series against the Peterborough Lakers. Despite taking a 3-0 lead into the first intermission, a dreadful second period sealed the Patri- ots’ fate Monday night, as they were outscored 6-1 by the Lakers in the middle stanza, en route to a 7-5 loss. Game 2 of the series took place Tuesday night (after our dead- line) in Ennismore. A pair of goals by George Jimas gave the Patriots a 2-0 lead with under nine minutes to go in the first, while Spencer Bent- ley added the other first-period tally. Peterborough notched a pair early in the third to climb to within one before Jimas capped his hat trick with a third goal to make it 4-2. However, four Lakers goals in a span of 7:03 game them a two- goal lead. In the third all the two teams could muster was a goal each, with the West Durham tally coming from Todd Nakasuji. Game 3 of the series will be played at Kinsmen Arena in Peterborough Thursday night (8:30 p.m.). In needed, West Durham will host Game 4 on Aug. 4. The West final got underway last night in Caledon, where the #1 ranked Bandits faced off with the #2 ranked Wellington War- lords. Card of Thanks This is to everyone that helped to search in the creeks, parks, and around the town for me. I am very grateful to have very kind neigh- bours and thank you. Just to let you know, I am safe now. Damon Mirams We would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who helped to look for our son who got lost last Wednes- day, July 22, 2009, when bike riding. Having autism and cerebral palsy, we were so frightened for our son. We were overwhelmed by the care and support of our community and would like to thank everyone for what they have done. Thanks go to all of Division 19 - Offi cers T. Kollaard and J. Kelloway; and all of 17 Division - Offi cers Zebrak and Ansty; as well as the bike patrols, helicopters, and cars that patrolled. Your professionalism and care are what brought our boy home. To our neighbours who orga- nized search parties, drove to parks and plazas, and were there to support us, thank you. Words cannot express how overwhelmed we are with such care from all of you. We are blessed to live in a community that cares so much for others. God bless you all.
