Home My WebLink AboutNA2009_08_05Students’ dreams take flight BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As a little boy amazed by the wall of buttons inside a cockpit, Mathew Fernan- dez knew flying was for him. And in just a few more weeks, the 17-year- old air cadet will realize a dream when he gets his private pilot’s licence for free. “I used to play with little toy airplanes all the time,” said Mathew, standing in front of a plane in the Oshawa Airport’s hanger, dressed in uniform. “When I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot or an astronaut. Astronaut, maybe, but pilot’s working out right now.” Mathew is just one of 28 teenagers learn- ing to fly on the Department of National Defense’s dime in Oshawa this summer. The seven-week program they’re participating in is taught by the Durham Flight Centre at the Oshawa Airport and paid for through the Air Cadet’s Power Pilot Scholarship, which is val- ued around $23,000 and includes the flight training, food, accommodation in Durham College’s residence and $60 weekly spending money.

In his sixth year with Air Cadets, Tyler is enrolled in the Air Cadets Power Pilot scholarship course put on by the Department of National Defence.

John fig- ures he would probably smoke more if he could afford it, but about a quarter of the money he makes work- ing at Halenda’s Meats already goes to buying smokes. He says it’s money he could be putting towards what he really wants -- a car of his own. “I’ve tried a couple of times to quit, I used the patch, but it was really hard,” John says. “I would be hanging out with my friends and they would all be smoking and I would just say, whatever, I’m not doing this.” John recently turned 18 and will be starting at Durham College in the fall. He figures that milestone into adult- hood presents a good opportunity to butt out for good. “I see what this has done to my parents’ health and I don’t want that to be me,” he said. “I think I can do it this time.” Sherrie Webber Age 26 Oshawa resident Sherrie’s mom was only 49 when she passed away last year, after a gruelling battle with lung cancer. “You would think after watching her go through that, I would be able to quit,” says the 26-year- old. “My mom asked me to promise her I would quit, and I’ve tried. But I can’t.” Ms. Webber has smoked since she was about 13, saying the stress of her grandmoth- er’s death got her started. Over the years, the Oshawa woman has made four quit attempts, mostly trying to do it cold turkey. She doesn’t like the idea of patches and has heard that nicotine gum tastes horrible. “Right now, I smoke about two packs a day. It’s a lot,” she says. “I smoke when I get up in the morning, when I’m getting ready to go out somewhere, after I finish eat- ing, when I pick up the phone. It’s hurting my health ... every morning when I get up, I cough for an hour and a half straight.” Ms. Webber lives with her father and sister in Oshawa and says she has their support, as well as that of her boy- friend. “Everyone really wants me to do this.” Painful journey to better health BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Health care experts estimate 70 per cent of smokers want to kick their addiction. Statistics say that left to their own devices, only about seven per cent will achieve success long term. In compari- son, the data suggests that 30 per cent of smokers who seek help from health care professionals manage to become smoke free. Metroland Durham Region Media Group wanted to test that theory -- and help stack the odds in favour of some Durham residents who desperately want to butt out. We asked local smokers to tell us their stories and were overwhelmed with more than 100 phone calls and e-mails in 48 hours. Three participants were chosen to take part in a six-week quitting challenge. Experts from the Durham Region Smoking Cessation Network -- a group of local pharmacists, nurses, doctors and dentists who are passionate about helping people quit -- will be providing the participants with resources, guid- ance and support. We will be bringing you their stories in print and online at www.newsdurhamregion.com every other Wednesday throughout August, with a final update in September. Marven Whidden Age 46 Clarington resident When Marven Whidden wakes up in the morning, he spends a few minutes coughing and hacking. Walking up two flights of stairs is enough to leave him winded. At Toronto Hydro where he works, he is one of only two people in a depart- ment of 50 who smokes, leaving him feeling like “a leper.” At home in Bowmanville, he spends a lot of time in his garage, because it’s the only place he can light up. “I really, really want to quit,” says the 46-year-old husband and father of two teenagers. “I want to live to see my grand- kids. I don’t want my kids to smoke. Some of my daughter’s friends do. How can I tell her not to, when I do?” Mr. Whidden has tried drugs like Zyban and Champix but says in one case he wasn’t in the right mindset, and in the other he got scared off by warnings on the medication. “I’m ready to do it this time,” he says.

Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, keynote speaker at the second annual Ripple Effect youth summit Wednesday, told his audience that by freeing and enriching their minds they will gain the insight to truly live freely and justly. “Don’t shut the world out; don’t iso- late yourself in cliques,” the dynamic Mr. Carter, 73, told his audience. “Go beyond yourself. “The world is your business. And it all starts right here.” Mr. Carter relies on his own devastat- ing life story -- he was falsely convicted of a 1966 triple murder in New Jersey and spent 20 years in prison before being freed when key witnesses admitted lying -- to illustrate how the light of truth can be the key to freedom. “Love for the truth busted me out,” he said. “What has happened in my life, as difficult as it has been, has also been absolutely miraculous.” Mr. Carter urged his young audience to fight racism, poverty, illiteracy and drug use, the bars of the “metaphysical prisons” people confine themselves in through ignorance and apathy. It was a galvanizing message at the end of a day that saw approximately 300 young people from throughout the GTA attend the conference, organized by Durham’s Youth in Policing coordinator Katie Zeppieri, and held at the Milestone Christian Centre on Monarch Avenue. “We call it the Ripple Effect because it takes just one small drop of water to cre- ate a ripple that spreads great distances,” Ms. Zeppieri said. “This is a metaphor for leadership -- it just takes one person to stand up for what is right to have an impact and make a difference in others’ lives. “The ultimate goal is to inspire youth to want to make a difference in their schools and the community.” During the day the young people attended a number of workshops, includ- ing one focused on opening the lines of communication between police and youth. Hosted by officers, the workshop aimed to dispel negative impressions the youth might have and encourage positive interaction. The message rang true for conference participant Harsh Shah. “There is a barrier between police and youth,” he said. “But it works both ways.” Interacting with officers brings home the message that cops are people, too, and they do the job they do because they care, he said. “They’re nice,” Harsh said. “And they’re not always on duty.” Mr. Carter urged the young people to find the resolve and compassion they have within themselves to confront the problems and issues present in their communities. “If we don’t address the problems, if we don’t try to see our neighbour’s point of view, grievances will fester,” he said. “If you’ve got the right attitude there is nothing in life you cannot do.” COMMUNITY The Hurricane creates a ‘Ripple’ 965 Dundas St. W.

PICKERING VILLAGE Misson 900 Wheeled Hockey Bag Teen girls robbed of purses at gunpoint AJAX -- Police were called to the scenes of two separate robberies in Ajax on Monday night. The first involved two 16-year-old girls who were walking in the area of Raven- scroft Road and Westney Road at about 9:45 p.m. when they were approached by two males, one armed with a silver handgun. The armed suspect raised the gun to the head of one victim and threatened her before both suspects stole purses and fled on foot in a northeast direc- tion. Both suspects are described as black males between the ages of 15 and 18, 6 feet tall with slender builds and ruddy complexions, wearing black-hooded jackets and black jeans. The victims were not seriously injured. The second incident involved two sus- pects, described as black males between the ages of 16 and 22, who entered the Subway store on Old Kingston Road in Pickering Village at about 10 p.m. with their faces covered. They demanded cash from the clerk and fled the store with a small amount of money.

Durham Regional Police called in CAS after a citizen discovered the child asleep in a van parked at the casino around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 2, and notified security. The child was alone in the van for almost an hour before his mother returned, police say. The 41-year-old mother told police she had dropped off her younger children at her eldest daughter’s house in Ajax and then drove to the casino to pick up family members. She didn’t realize one child was still in the vehicle, she said. The child wasn’t hurt and no charges were laid. However, the CAS was advised of the incident for its review.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions APPRECIATION Thanks for the help to gentleman and Canad ian Tire Manager To the editor: I would like to say thank you to the gen- tleman in the white van who drove by myself and another two women. We were trying to remove some oil- based white paint that splattered on our cars from a puddle that someone left in the Canadian Tire Pickering parking lot on Saturday, July 25. This gentleman in the white van was able to give us some WD40 which worked like an absolute charm! To the person who dropped a can of paint and left a nice size spill and then did not even bother to tell an employee about it so they could clean it up, there- fore avoiding splatters of white paint all over the left side of my van, the left side of the SUV behind me, and the tires of the car next to the SUV, well, I say, shame on you! Thank you to the manager who was working that day at Canadian Tire for providing the WD40 and the cloths to clean off our cars. Tanya Poppleton Pickering RIGHT OF WAY Pedestrians should obey traffic signals -- for a change To the editor: I think it would help if traffic was able to move more smoothly. I feel Toronto is leading the way in this area by cracking down on pedestrians who do not obey the Highway Traffic Act, which, believe it or not, includes pedes- trians as well as cars, city streets as well as four-lane highways. One thing that needs to be made clear is that pedestrians do not automatically have the right of way. Pedestrians must follow the rules set out in the Highway Traffic Act just as do drivers of any vehicle. The number of close calls I’ve seen has me wondering how accidents are avoid- ed. People walking against a flashing or solid pedestrian red light seem to be the norm. The frustrated drivers who have to brake to allow some inconsiderate per- son to walk in front of them between blocks because the pedestrian thinks they have the right of way can only lead to road rage. I think it’s time that our police depart- ment spent some time giving out tick- ets to the inconsiderate pedestrians who think the world revolves around them. For those who don’t understand the law, here are just a couple of sections of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act that make it illegal for you to cross on a red light or between blocks. Pedestrian crossing (22) <http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/ statutes/french/elaws_statutes_90h08_ f.htm#s144s22> Where portions of a roadway are marked for pedestrian use, no pedestri- an shall cross the roadway except within a portion so marked. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 144 (22). Pedestrian control signals -- don’t walk (27) <http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/stat- utes/french/elaws_statutes_90h08_f.htm #s144s27> No pedestrian approaching pedestri- an control signals and facing a solid or flashing “don’t walk” indication shall enter the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 144 (27). Thank you for allowing me to vent. Liam Lowe Oshawa Pros will try to help Durham trio quit smoking habit All the health experts agree: if you’re a smoker, the best possible thing you can do to improve your health is give up the habit. And it’s estimated that at some point, almost all those who smoke try to give up. Most don’t succeed the first time they try. In fact, it usually takes numerous attempts before a long-time smoker is able to per- manently quit the habit. Statistics suggest that those who go it alone and try to quit have only a seven-per cent success rate. However, when smokers seek the aid of health-care professionals, those who really know what it takes to kick the nasty habit, the ability to finally stop jumps to about 30 per cent. Beginning today, three brave souls will allow readers to watch their stop-smok- ing journey. In our pages and online at newsdurhamregion.com, you’ll be able to follow the six-week quitting challenge of three Durham Region citizens who badly want to stop smoking. The idea grew out of wanting to see how best to go about giving up a nicotine addic- tion. After putting out the word that we wanted to hear from local smokers, we got more than 100 phone calls and e-mails in just 48 hours. We’ve narrowed that huge number down to the lucky three who will get the services of experts from the Dur- ham Smoking Cessation Network. Over the next six weeks a group of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and dentists will help our trio in their battle to remain smoke free. The threesome are: Marven Whidden, 46, of Clarington, a father of two teenagers, who spends the first few minutes of the day coughing and hacking. He wants to live to see his grandkids, has tried drugs like Zyban and Champix, but nothing has worked. He feels he is ready this time. Sherrie Webber, 26, of Oshawa, whose mother died at 49 of lung cancer last year, is a two-pack-a-day smoker who says she coughs for an hour and a half each morn- ing when she gets up. She has tried to quit four times before, mostly cold turkey. She has the support of her father, sister and boyfriend and is determined to succeed this time. John Hatch, 18, of Oshawa, began to smoke in Grade 10 and saw it in his home -- both his parents smoke -- as do his friends. He says he was curious about it and got hooked and is up to a half pack a day. He wants to save up for a car instead of spend- ing on ciggies and feels ready to quit as he enters Durham College in the fall. You can follow the progress of our trio each Wednesday in the newspaper and online at newsdurhamregion.com throughout August and into September. 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 WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 20096 P WE ASKED There’s been a lot of discussion lately about racial profiling. The ACLU defines racial profiling as “the discriminato- ry practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion or national origin.” Most of us, of course, would never dream of perpetrating such an offensive practice. Or would we? Most of us, in fact, are guilty of casting a much wider net of prejudice. It’s known, in the vernacular, as judging a book by its cover. And virtually every human who has ever walked this planet has become very good at it. If you think about it, we profile all the time. We’re constantly sizing people up and drawing conclusions about them before they’ve even opened their mouths. Blonde equals dumb. Fat equals jolly. All actors are gay. I mean, how completely ridiculous, right? Right? But we do it. Certainly there is some anthropological foundation for this prac- tice. Ages ago, when people routine- ly killed each other for no other reason than acquiring a better cave, it was not only prudent but vital to size up a strang- er before he got within clubbing distance. And although one would hope, as a spe- cies, we have moved beyond that, it often appears we have not so much evolved as simply traded in our clubs for more sub- tle but no less damaging weapons. Muddying the waters further is that sometimes our assessments are spot on. Occasionally a jerk is just a jerk. So what are we to do? Two things, I think, will go a long way towards reducing our tendency to pro- file one another. Both require a change of perspective. We can start by looking for the best in people. In my experience, I inevitably get what I look for. If I look for faults, I am sure to find some. If, on the other hand, I seek virtue, then that is what generally shows up. We all possess oodles of both. Alternately, we need to think long and hard about what we are presenting to others. My 17-year-old son makes quite an impression. He walks around in black Converse high-tops, multi-coloured neon striped socks that go up to his knees, torn jeans, black and white striped gloves with the fingers cut-off and a jacket with a day-glo green peace sign spray-paint- ed on the back. Both his ears are pierced and his crowning glory is a six-inch high rainbow-colored Mohawk rising from the centre of his head like a peacock plume. It’s like sitting down to dinner with a parade float. When she agreed to shave his head into its current incarnation, his mother gave him some very sage advice. She told him that now he needed to be exception- al. She understood that from now on he would be presenting a very colourful, very different cover to his book. A book that all too many would be happy to assume they’ve already read and didn’t like. But that by being exceptional he could help them reread him, thereby discovering his many virtues. Not least of which is that he is an essentially kind and very decent human being. Simple, but sound advice. If we devote time to reading others more carefully while taking care to present the best of ourselves, we may find that our stories, our profiles, if you will, are more alike than we knew. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. The Governor of the Bank of Canada recently said the recession is over. Do you believe him? (from left) SAMANTHA DASILVA --‘I do believe it. I went to Yorkdale and it was packed.’ COURTNEY BUJACK -- ‘It hasn’t affected the workplace. We still have the same amount of clients.’ CURTIS STREETER --‘It didn’t even affect Shoppers. It seems like we have more customers.’ MARK RITTINGER --‘I’m cautiously optimisitic. I think it’s a bit of a vicious cycle.’ CELIA KLEMENZ / BEHIND THE LENS The wail and drone of the bagpipes is such an integral part of any Highland Games event. Dancers spin, leap and twirl in time with the music, but I won- der if the piper is acknowledged for what he or she brings to a dance competition. Each group of dancers performed their piece, while he played non-stop, set- ting the tempo for the dancers to match step. I caught this image of the contrast between the steadiness of a lone piper through the swirling kilts at the recent- ly held Highlands of Durham Games in Uxbridge. CAROL DOUGHTY Soccer can be so serious Around 6:30 on a summer evening, our doorbell rang. When my retired husband opened the door, there stood our neighbour’s children. The nine-year-old boy asked, “Can you guys come out and play?” “’You guys’” referred to my husband; myself, also retired; and our six-year-old granddaughter. “As soon as we finish dinner,” was my hus- band’s reply. Dinner was gulped down and the three of us headed over to the park to join the others for another pickup game. So, now we have four adults and five kids, from one- and-a-half to nine years old, playing soccer on a slightly hilly section of the park. There are no pre-registration lineups; just show up on the day of the game. There are no lines marked; they’d be ignored anyway by the kids who run all over with the ball, eventual- ly getting it back someplace close to the goal. There are no A or rep teams; all levels play on the same teams. There is no scoreboard. No one seems to remember the score, either during the game or after it. There are no soc- cer shoes worn; most people wear flip-flops, Crocs, sandals, or bare feet. There are no uniforms. The teams are designated as the “We’re going this way team” and the “We’re going that way team.” As far as “rules” go, only the ones about sportsmanship and fun are evident. Anyone can score; sometimes an adult might even score on her own goal! There is body contact. One dad carries his daughter on his shoulders as they move around the “pitch.” There is one time out for ice cream sup- plied by one of the adults playing that night. Around 8:30, the game is called; the little girl on daddy’s shoulders is almost asleep; the children are still running; the adults are slowing down; and everyone says, “Good night”.

She was raised in Toronto and now resides in Pickering. Her east coast heritage is a strong infl uence in her life and is refl ected in her artwork. As a budding Canadian scenic artist, Beverly has produced fi ne art using a variety of media including charcoal, pen and oil pastels. Her favoured medium, however, is acrylic paint on canvas. Her focus is typically the tranquil beauty of nature, drawing from her east coast heritage. Animals are also a favoured subject. Most recently, Beverly has discovered her talent and passion in other art forms that include sculpture with clay, wood and stone carving. Beverly Anne Stewart studied at the University of Toronto and has earned a degree in Fine Art. She also holds a diploma in Graphic Arts from George Brown College. Beverly’s art has been on display at various shows in southern Ontario, including the prestigious 18th annual McMichael Art Sale in Kleinburg, Ontario.

Helping You To Build It Right ! P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 200910 P EDUCATION By program’s end, they should be able to pass Transport Canada’s private pilot test, allowing them to fly as a hobby or pursue a career in flying. “They don’t have to pursue military, that’s a choice of their own,” said Gerald Levasseur, a supervisory officer. “If they’re interested in flying, the air cadets is a good place for them.” The program has been running for five years now through the Durham Flight Cen- tre, one of only five locations where it’s offered. “We’re the biggest flight school now with 26 cadets and we have a near-perfect pass rate,” said Jeff Schwartzentruber, an air cadets supervisory officer. Mr. Schwartzentruber was among the program’s first students. Through the program, cadets go through different levels to obtain a foundation in flying, Mr. Schwartzentruber said. By the time they get to level four, they can apply for the scholarship. Kids wanting to learn how to fly can join cadets at age 12. The application for it includes a written examination, interview, written narrative and a medical. Students start the scholarship program with little or no flying experience, but by the end, they accumulate the 45 hours of flying time required for their test and licence and then some, said Andrew Noon- an, chief flight instructor for the school. “It was just awesome,” Mathew said smil- ing, of being able to fly a plane by himself during the training. At the end of the their first solo flight, the cadets come off the plane to be greet- ed with buckets of water thrown at them, Mathew said. When he joined cadets at age 12, he did so to fly. Mathew’s first experience on a plane occurred when he was three years old and leaving India for Canada. He liked the plane so much, its staff took him into the cockpit. “I loved pushing buttons when I was a lit- tle kid, and when I saw all the buttons I was like, this is my dream job,” Mathew said. “We went back (to India) a couple of years ago and being there is just awesome, look- ing at everything the plane has.” The flight school became involved with the program after submitting a success- ful bid; each year it has to resubmit, said Manny Rosario, one of its owners. The Durham Flight Centre has always been a supporter of the air cadets and one of the local groups is housed at the Oshawa Airport, he said. The program runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. six days a week, Monday to Saturday. Sun- day they do day trips to enjoy things such as golfing, and whatever else is available. Their training consists of ground studies, which include air law, navigation, and gen- eral knowledge; and flying. “They just keep on advancing their train- ing until they’re ready for their flight test,” Mr. Noonan said. “We find the air cadets a very worthy pro- gram for young kids today,” Mr. Rosario said. He enjoys seeing them come in and leave about seven weeks later knowing how to fly. “Business isn’t just about making money, you have to have fun, too,” he added. The flight training is provided by Trans- port Canada-rated instructors. Cadets are trained in single-engine planes, such as the Cessna 152. A Glider Pilot Scholarship is also avail- able.

The Dragon Flies Breast Cancer Sur- vivor Group, with members from City of Kawartha Lakes, Durham Region and surrounding areas, is hosting its sixth annual Dragon Flies Golf Tournament on Wednesday, Aug. 12 at Oliver’s Nest Golf and Country Club on Hwy. 7 in Oakwood. “This golf tournament is held each year to promote breast cancer aware- ness throughout the area and to support programs for breast cancer survivors in order to assist living healthy life-styles,” according to the Dragon Flies. “The Dragon Flies also raise funds for four local hospitals specifically for diag- nosis and treatment of breast cancer.” Those recipients include Ross Memo- rial Hospital, in Lindsay, Lakeridge Health-Port Perry, Uxbridge Cot- tage Hospital and the R.H.

The Language Line offers English-as- a-second-language residents translation assistance when they call for inquiries. The service will be phased in over time, starting with the recreation and culture department. Residents can call 905-427-8811 for infor- mation regarding classes and programs offered by the Town and receive answers in Portuguese, Tamil, Arabic, Dari, Tagalog, Hindi, Farsi, Spanish, Mandarin and Urdu. “We are happy that the recreation and culture department will launch phase one of the Language Line,” said Rob Marsh, cus- tomer service co-ordinator. “Since every- one in our community can use or has access to recreation and culture programs and services, it was appropriate to offer this service within our department first. Help- ing residents who do not speak English as a first language to use our registration sys- tem, with the assistance of a translator, will ensure that language is not a barrier to par- ticipation.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 200912 AP Friday August 5, 2009 Ajax and Pickering Locations 255 Salem Rd.

She has been to them all - from Duckworth’s to Chippy’s, the darling new boite of the Queen Street West crowd. So when she recommended Port Union Fish and Chips, it drew my attention. Port Union Fish and Chips is comfortable and is certainly geared toward family dining. Artwork designed by budding little Picassos is mounted on the sea blue walls among ﬁ sh paraphernalia. Combo platters are worth a look. A shrimp trio ($13.99) features lemon, Cajun and popcorn shrimp. A captain’s platter ($10.49) serves up ﬁ sh, popcorn shrimp and clam strips. I went for the basics - a piece of halibut and fries ($9.49). What a treat! The ﬁ sh was among the best I have sam- pled. The ﬁ sh was the star, and the batter was as thin as paper. Snowy white and dewy, the halibut was a beautiful specimen. Fries were homemade and absolutely delicious. The chef fries at proper temperatures with clean oil, so there is not a trace of grease on the plate. A bonus, I also received a small cup of crisp, creamy coleslaw. We also tried the fried scallops ($8.99), which were as fresh as the ﬁ sh with the deep sea sweetness unique to this bivalve. Specials here offer excellent value. All-you-can-eat ﬁ sh and chips on Tuesday are only $8.99. For lunch, have ﬁ sh and chips for $5.99, and add a cup of soup for $1.99. Seniors can have the same for just $3.99, and that includes coffee or tea and coleslaw. Good things happen at Port Union Port Union Fish and Chips is comfortable and is certainly geared toward family dining. Those counting calories can have their selections grilled or pan-fried. Su- tanto has done the research, so now we can all reap the beneﬁ ts. Port Union Fish and Chips is located at 65 Rylander Blvd. (Abby Lanes Plaza, Hwy. 2 and Rylander).

Vehicle clocked at more than 176 km/h in Pickering BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An unsafe van with four kids lying on the floor was one of the vehicles pulled over during a long-weekend police blitz. The safety blitz, which began July 31, and lasted until Monday around midnight, saw Ontario Provincial Police team up with other services, including Durham police, to crack down on traffic infractions as thousands of travelers took to highways and roads for the Civic Holiday weekend. “In this area, the GTA, actually it was a good weekend,” said OPP Constable Dave Woodford, adding there weren’t any fatal or serious collisions. Traffic was steady all weekend, which likely contributed to the less serious nature of colli- sions in Durham and the GTA, Const. Wood- ford said. The traffic started Thursday night and was bumper to bumper all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, he said. Heading back towards Toronto, the highway was packed all day Monday as well, Const. Woodford added. Among the charges laid, 174 were the result of aircraft control -- 147 of which were for speeding and seven for stunt driving, Const. Woodford said. The airplane employed worked by clocking speeders and transferring the information to police officers, he added. The fastest speeder caught was travelling at 176 km/h on Hwy. 401 near Brock Road in Pickering. The vehicle was seized and the driver’s licence suspended. One police officer pulled over a rusty van for being unsafe and discovered its centre seat was removed. Lying on the floor in its place were four kids ages six, nine, 10, and 12. Five adults in the van were sitting in proper seats with their seat belts on, Const. Wood- ford said. “It’s a good thing we did pull them over,” he said, and added one never knows when an accident will occur. At Hwy. 7/12, police pulled over a vehicle doing 24 km/h over the speed limit in a com- munity safety zone, which includes double the fines and an automatic court appearance, Const. Woodford said. “Half an hour later he was stopped by another officer again in a community safety zone doing 23 (km/h) over,” he said. -- with files from Jeff Mitchell NEWS ADVERTISER DISPLAY & 5.000x131 465431.PDF HOUS; 4C SAFETY BLITZ Cops nab Durham Region holiday traffic violators The last bell of the school year has rung—before the book bag is put away for the summer, take a few moments to take stock of this past school year. Did your child encounter any academic obstacles? Were there trouble spots? Unfinished projects? Homework issues? Summer is the perfect time to catch up in any problem areas. Your student even has the ability to reach ahead this summer. Studies have shown time and again that on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computational skills dur- ing the summer months. This means that when students head back to school in the fall, they spend about 6 weeks reviewing and simply getting back into the swing of things rather than learning new material. Sure, kids deserve a break after the school year (we all do), but from an educational standpoint, these numbers are quite scary. There is good news though. Summer learning losses can easily be prevented with just a few hours a week of summer learning. Now consider how much more prepared for success your child will be after a summer including some mentally stimulating activity. It’s easy to keep the brain stimulated—a few hours a week is all it takes! Tip: Don’t exclude summer school from your summer planning because of any stereotypes you may hold. Sum- mer school is a great opportunity. There is typically less pressure, and your child can get the individual attention that he or she may not be getting during the school year. With these very important thoughts in mind, doesn’t it make sense to include a little learning in your child’s summer? Summer programs at Oxford Learning make it easy. Call Oxford in Ajax 683-6660 or Pickering 420- 3141 today and beat summer learning losses for good and get your child ready for success in school next year.

B LACROSSE Tough end to Rock season Offseason begins for Senior B lacrosse team BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering Rock head coach Jim Veltman is having a hard time coming to grips with how his team’s season ended. While it wasn’t so much that it lost its OLA Senior B league best-of-five playoff series against the Norwood Nitro three games to one, the manner in which it unfolded left an empty feeling, specifically following a heart- breaking loss in Friday’s Game 3 in Norwood. “We played a great road game. Everything was going our way, we were leading into the third and they scored a couple goals,” Velt- man said, recalling the game’s events that led to a con- troversial final few sec- onds. “There were 33 seconds left and a 30-second shot clock. We gained possession of the ball, had a 2-on- 1 with a lot of their guys caught in our end. With less than five sec- onds left on the shot, clock one of our forwards decided to take a shot instead of holding the ball. After the shot, (Norwood) called a time out and the referee added a second and a half onto what was on the game clock. (Then) I guess they disputed that time had ticked off while they were call- ing a time out and they ended up being given five seconds extra.” In that added time, the Nitro pushed the ball up the floor, lead- ing to the game-tying goal being scored with the clocking showing zeros, according to Veltman. The goal counted and forced overtime with the game tied 7-7. “The momentum was on their side. You could see it. We came out a bit flat and they scored three goals. It was a tough loss and the turning point of the series,” noted Veltman of the 10-7 final. “We knew we had to steal a game in Norwood ... that was the game for us that got away.” Ajax-Pickering had little left in the tank Sunday as Norwood posted a 9-5 victory to close out the series to advance the league final against Owen Sound. While the Rock has the compo- nents on their roster with the abil- ity to make plays, Veltman won- dered aloud in the aftermath of their elimination if nerves played a part on their undoing. “We tape our games, and I was watching the games, and you know we didn’t play that bad. It came back to careless errors that we were making. “I don’t know if it was nerves or if guys were feeling the pressure that we had to win.” Regardless, despite the playoff exit, Veltman was pleased with the way his club came together fol- lowing a slow start to the season. “At one point in the year, we were 2-5-1 and our wheels were spinning,” he recalled. “But then I look at the second half and it was a terrific second half. We were 7-1 in the last eight games and we beat a team that was undefeated (Owen Sound) at the time to make third spot instead of fourth. That’s something to be celebrated.” As for Veltman himself, coming of his first season as head coach, one in which the Rock went 9-6- 1 in the regular season, on Tues- day he wasn’t ready to commit to a return. “It is a big time commitment and that’s the part that I really have to think about. How much time do I really have? I have a family here that I want to spend time with and (coaching) is a consuming thing,” he said, before adding “if I was a bachelor on my own, it’s a lot different, but I have other people to be mindful of. I can’t be too selfish. I am trying to figure out where that too selfish line is.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 200918 AP ANNANDALE Call 905-683-3210 DON’T GIVE UP GOLF JUST HIGH PRICES DON’T GIVE UP GOLF JUST HIGH PRICES www.toronto.com/annandale TWILIGHT 1/2 OFF REGULAR PRICE AFTER 2:00 P.M.

C LACROSSE West Durham shocks Lakers in Game 3 of series PICKERING-- Facing elimination last week, the West Durham Patri- ots stepped up in a big way to pro- long their season. Last night (after our deadline) they were hopeful of doing the same thing yet again in Game 4 of their OLA Jr. C league playoff series against the Peterborough Lakers, who led the series 2-1 heading in. With their backs against the wall and the offseason staring them straight in the face last Thursday on their home floor at the Pickering Rec Complex, the Patriots pulled out a stunning 5-4 victory over the Lakers. Dakota Wilson scored the game- winner in the third period, with other goals coming from George Jimas (2), Graeme Hossack and Spencer Bentley. If necessary, the time and date for a Game 5, to be played in Peterbor- ough, will be announced later this week. LACROSSE Ontario Lacrosse Festival hits new level WHITBY -- The Ontario Lacrosse Festiva opened up at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre Sunday, and has grown to such an extent that it is now the largest annual youth lacrosse event in North Ameri- ca and the second biggest youth sports event in the province. By expanding from 260 teams in 2008 to 401 this year, the Festival now trails only the Bell Capital Cup hockey tournament, which drew 485 teams to Ottawa this year. When all is said and done on Aug. 9, there will be 35 new National and Provincial champions crowned in 12 tournaments for both box and field lacrosse. Opening ceremonies for the Festival were Sunday at Iroquois Park, and action continues in vari- ous locations through to the end, including the Legends Centre, Children’s Arena, Harman Park and Donevan Recreation Complex in Oshawa, the McKinney Centre in Whitby and the Luther Vipond Arena in Brooklin. “The Ontario Lacrosse Festival is a 10-day combination of great com- petition and fun for the entire fam- ily,” said Ontario Lacrosse Associa- tion President John Doherty in a press release. This summer the Festival wel- comes four new events: the Girls Bantam Lacrosse Championship of Canada, the U19 Girls Field Lacrosse Provincials, the OLA Bantam Provincials, and the OLA Midget Provincials. They will join existing Provincial championships in Tyke, Novice and Peewee for boys, Peewee, Ban- tam, Midget and Intermediate for girls, and U15 field lacrosse for girls. Also back for another year are the popular National championship tournaments for Peewee and Ban- tam boys. As usual there will be plenty of local representation, with teams from Whitby, Clarington, West Dur- ham and Uxbridge contesting Pro- vincial championships and several Durham residents on the Ontario squads at Nationals. The Ontario Peewee boys’ team includes Jason Barnable, Mat- thew Carroll and Justin Lemcke from Whitby, Luke Burghardt of Bowmanville, Luke Keenan of Courtice, Jordan McCullough of Oshawa and Dawson Theede of Brooklin. The Ontario Bantam boys’ team includes Nicholas Karam, Con- nor Laird, Rylee McKinnon and Michael Panowyk of Whitby, Ben- nett Drake of Newcastle and Bran- don Robinson of Pickering. The Ontario Bantam girls’ team includes Amanda Kernohan, Ken- nedy Milburn, Kendra Parenteau, Shalyn Pavlisko and Shanon Sisk, all of Whitby. Rogers Television will broadcast the three Nationals championship games on Saturday. In addition to the indoor tournament competi- tion, an outdoor Festival Fun Zone is on-site providing unique, engag- ing and experiential opportunities for Festival fans. Presenting Sponsors of the 2009 Festival are Gait Lacrosse, Harrow Sports, STX Lacrosse, Toronto Rock Lacrosse Club, Under Armour and Warrior Sports. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 200919 AP Boxer scores win in seventh round CONNECTICUT -- Lind- say Garbatt cashed in at the Mohegun Casino in Con- necticut last weekend. Garbatt, a 27-year-old nuclear security officer at Pickering’s OPG plant, stepped into the boxing ring against Maureen Shea, owner of an impressive 13- 1 mark, and exited with a thrilling win, with referee Danny Schiacove stopping the fight at 1:52 of the sev- enth round. With the win, Garbatt, who lives in Courtice and trains at the Motor City Boxing Club in Oshawa, improved her mark to 3-2, and will once again focus on earn- ing a world championship fight, after last month’s bout with Melissa Hernandez fell through. Saturday’s fight started slow, with both fighters choosing to feel each other out a little before getting right to it. But Garbatt, who scored knockouts in her two previ- ous professional wins, went at Shea with a combination of strong jabs, powerful right hands and a solid attack on the body, which wore her opponent down as the fight continued. Garbatt used that same powerful right hand to take control in the seventh, con- necting squarely with Shea’s face, sending the fighter to the mat to end the match. Shea, a 28-year-old who hails from New York, rose to fame in 2004 serving as the sparring partner for Hill- ary Swank in preparation for the movie Million Dollar Baby, which won four Acad- emy Awards. Garbatt scores big win at Mohegun Casino SUBMITTED PHOTO Time to celebrate PICKERING -- The Pickering Red Sox Major Mosquitos were crowned champions at the Ajax Spartan Tournament after beating out teams from Clarington, Markham, Pickering and Peterborough.

Kuksis, a member of Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club, finished alone in eighth spot follow- ing rounds of 72 and 74 to finish the tournament with a score of plus-6. That score was only seven shots behind tournament winner Matt Lemay, who carded a one-under score. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 5, 200920 AP Sat. Aug., Sat.
