He added alcohol makes him giddy, and he’s already giddy enough. Mr. Chittenden is the father of two daughters, has three grandchildren and three great-grand- children. “I can’t say I’m sur- prised,” said one of his daughters, Sheila Mac- Donald. “We always knew he’d live a long life.” Mr. Chittenden’s wife lived until she was 98. His mother and grandfather both lived until they were 92. “There are very strong genes in the family,” said his other daughter, Jill Smith. Mr. Chittenden continues to stay active, is interested in learning and participates in Parkway’s trivial club. “He’s really a renaissance man,” said Dennis Cook, min- ister at St. Timothy’s Presbyterian Church in Ajax. “He has interests in science and art and knows an awful lot about a lot of things.” In fact, Mr. Chittenden plays the piano at the church on a regular basis. “There’s no music in front of him,” he said. “He just sits down and plays.” Mr. Chittenden has always played the piano, he said, and insists playing music keeps him sharp, comparing it to putting a puzzle together. He plays mostly classical pieces and especially enjoys the works of Bach and Chopin. “I like the French composers very much,” he added. He also goes on walks to Frenchman Bay three times a week and joins in the men’s-only luncheons. “He’s a firecracker,” said Roger Dee, community rela- tions manager at Parkway. “He’s a very astute and a very intelligent man, someone you can’t put anything past.” In fact, Mr. Chittenden’s cake had a design of the Great Lakes on it. Since he recently conducted a two-day pro- gram for the other residents on the lakes’ formation, staff found it fitting.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions EDUCATION Student speaks out on trustee rules To the editor: Re: Catholic student trustee rules should change, July 15. I would like to focus on the comment, apparently made by myself, which stat- ed, “It’s kind of like having a chair for the student senate,” in regards to the student trustees being allowed to come from the same school. In the context of this article, this makes little sense -- resembling a comment I would expect from Cher on Clueless. Where are our supporting arguments, the ones that shaped the point I was making and, consequently, won over a majority of votes from trustees? Please allow me to put things into per- spective. 1. Student trustees are not like regular trustees. They do not represent a geograph- ical area; that is what the student senators are for. 2. As stated by student trustee Brandyn, some people may live in a community but go to school elsewhere. 3. Ontario Regulation 7/07 Section 3 in the Education Act clearly states: “The board shall have at least one but not more than three student trustees.” This makes the suggestion of having seven student trustees for the board not only unreasonable, but also illegal. A list of 10 other arguments against amending the policy on electing student trustees sits before me, amongst which is the 100 per cent objection of the student senate to amend the policy. As students, we know our voice is one that is often heard for the sole reason of appeasing the law, however it would be nice to occasionally see some support from the community when acknowledging us in print. All you had to do was ask. We’ll tell you what we think; and in this case, our point is simple -- stop fixing something that isn’t broken. Samantha Putos Pickering GRATITUDE Patients should be grateful for free cancer society transportation service To the editor: Re: ‘Cancer Society Ride Program Under Fire’, News Advertiser, Aug. 7. According to Kendra Chopcian, unit manager of the Durham Cancer Society office, the society “services 40 clients a day”. There are five days in a week; there are 52 weeks in a year. Go figure how many people are served by CCS in one year alone. In view of the above facts, I find it most upsetting that the front page of The News Advertiser is of one single person com- plaining about the CCS service. Mr. Pearce’s medical condition is indeed most unfortunate and I do wish him better health. Likewise, I empathize with Ms. Pearce regarding her need for a walker and understand her wish to assist her brother at this difficult time. However, I feel she should be grateful for the opportunity she had to accom- pany Mr. Pearce “every two weeks” “from April of last year until late June”. That was a free service. Unlike a taxi service, other patients were no doubt also being transported at that time. If a patient also required a walker, obvi- ously it would be impossible for two walkers to fit in one car trunk. Perhaps The News Advertiser could offer the cancer society free advertising for more volunteer drivers. If one driver could transport one patient, there would be fewer inconve- niences for all concerned. Carol King Pickering Take extra precautions against slippery fraud artists It’s summer and the con artists and scam- mers are all around us doing anything they can to try to separate us from our hard- earned money. Some Durham-area homeowners have found out the hard way that not all so- called paving contractors are what they seem. Back in May, Durham Regional Police put out an alert about scammers who cold- called homeowners. The pitch was that they had some leftover asphalt and would be happy to drop by and repair a pothole or two. The next thing you know, the entire drive- way is paved, and the company presents the bewildered homeowner with a huge, unexpected bill, far higher than originally negotiated. This happened again and again during the summer of 2008 when some 60 local people reported being taken advan- tage of in this way. And this summer the fraud artists have been at it again. But some folks have fought back. And there have been arrests. Roy Haina and Shelly Diamond called police when they got pestered over and over to pay up and police made arrests. The bottom line is that people should never make a deal with any company that refuses to provide credentials and a firm price before doing the work. Everything should be completely above board. Another local man got burned when he attempted to sell his photo equipment to a buyer from Nigeria who used a fake form of PayPal. He realized a scam was clearly in the works when the “buyer” asked him to send $150 through Western Union because he had overpaid the account. The seller did not send the money, of course, but did try to stop his equipment from going to Nige- ria but was unsuccessful. That was an unfortunate issue for Bob Essery of Bowmanville but it does bring to the surface one of the countries where a huge number of fraud problems come from: Nigeria. The infamous request letter from Nigeria is legendary by now. A person from Nigeria claiming to have inherited millions of dollars -- or want- ing to invest millions of dollars -- e-mails you and says if you will only agree to send a few hundred (or thousand) dollars, or share information, she or he will share the wealth with you. Most of us chuckle and delete these e- mails immediately. But, believe it or not, some people still answer them and lose money each year. That’s why fraudsters still send them out. Because, for every thousand that go out, one bites. We can only stop them by say- ing “No.” 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 • August 13, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 13, 20097 AP www.uxbridge.com/lionsart Thank you for the support of our sponsors 5XBRIDGE 4)-%3 */52.!, presented by the Lions Club of Uxbridge 10 am To 5pm August 15 – 16 Elgin Park, Uxbridge Free Admission and Parking (donations appreciated) • Juried Art Show • Silent Auction • Roving Musicians • Sculpture • Pottery • Woodworking and much more Have a great day in the park and enjoy: We have a kids play area. £xÌ Þi>À £xÌ Þi>ÀÀÌ ÊÌi *>À £xÌ Þi>À £xÌ Þi>À Canada Post will not stop shipment of package involved in a fraud scam BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A Bowmanville man has found out the hard way that Canada Post won’t honour a request to return a pack- age to its sender, even if its contents are en route to a thief. When Bob Essery found out the camera equipment he just dropped off for deliv- ery was caught up in an online fraud scam, he was shocked to discover Canada Post would not stop its shipment. “That’s the real crime here,” Mr. Essery said. “It’s my package, they would not give it back.” But once a package is in the system, it’s no longer the property of the sender but of the addressee, said John Caines, Canada Post’s manager of national media relations. “Once something is in the course of post, we can’t stop it,” Mr. Caines said. Mr. Essery sent his camera equipment to an address in Nigeria after selling it on Kijiji using what he thought was PayPal. The next day, he received an e-mail telling him the purchaser had overpaid the account and he was to send back $150 through Western Union; he knew then that he’d been had. Instead of sending the money, he called PayPal and was informed he hadn’t used the real version, but a look-a-like that fea- tures PAYPAL in all caps. “I went to Canada Post and the girl at Can- ada Post Bowmanville said she couldn’t do anything about it,” Mr. Essery said. The package hadn’t even left Canada -- it likely hadn’t even left the Bowmanville post office, he said, adding that’s what he was told when he used the tracking num- ber to locate the shipment. “It was still in Canada and they couldn’t put a stop on it,” said the 65-year-old retir- ee. The employee at the post office told him to call the police, he said. He called the RCMP first, assuming it was a national issue. They told him to call the crime and fraud police unit in Toronto, which then told him to call PhoneBusters, he said. He also called the Ombudsman and Durham MP Bev Oda, along with Durham MPP John O’Toole. Mr. Essery had all the proof with him that he was the package’s sender, but still no power over the parcel he had sold for $125 plus $160 for shipping. “Bottom line is, once something is in the course of post, it becomes the property of the addressee,” Mr. Caines said. “It’s in the system, it can’t be taken out.” Canada Post gets 40 million items a day and can’t just take something out, Mr. Caines added. The frustration felt by Mr. Essery is under- standable, he said. “I would be (frustrated) too,” Mr. Caines said. “I’d be disappointed I made that kind of mistake.” It’s the responsibility of the person enter- ing into the agreement to make sure every- thing checks out before sending an item through the mail, Mr. Caines said. “It’s buyer/purchaser aware,” he added. Page 6 - Today’s editorial INTERNATIONAL FRAUD No return to sender for Durham man Bottom line is, once something is in the course of post, it becomes the property of the addressee. John Caines, Canada Post SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND CLARINGTON -- Bob Essery was the victim of a scam involving a PayPal imitator. Canada Post would not stop an overseas shipment of his camera equipment to the culprits. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 13, 20098 AP WE WANT YOUR TRADE, ALL MAKES, ALL MODELS, ALL YEARS!

DANCE! It’s everywhere, on videos, popular TV shows, commercials, movies; today’s credo is … Just Dance! Why? Because dance is a positive outlet for young and old to express, enjoy and evolve. It can be a great way to get active and healthy or the perfect tool to boost your self-esteem, it can even open the door to a passion you never thought you had! Today, dance offers a whole new world to both girls and boys, face it, dance is here to stay! It’s no wonder then that so many children are inspired by what they see. So when your child asks you to put them in dance class, be overjoyed that they want to dive into one of the greatest activities offered to young people today and be sure to check out DANCE INC. where dancers are inspired to be the best they can be by active professionals and lovers of dance. DANCE INC. provides the inspiration, challenge, and technique to become great dancers in an encouraging and supportive atmosphere, not often found in dance studios. This studio is built on a strong foundation that “hard work pays off”. So now as DANCE INC. enters its fourth year, the studio directors couldn’t be happier with the rapid success of their dream. Directors Breanne and Jeff Wong attribute their successes to their own personal journey in dance. From a young age both found dance to be a major part of their lives and have evolved in the industry to become admired dance professionals as dancers, choreographers and adjudicators themselves. They are each an inspiration and have ensured that their faculty shares their passion and enthusiasm for dance. At DANCE INC. dance is about the experience, whether it be making new friends while taking a Hip Hop class once a week; learning the discipline taught through the R.A.D ballet syllabus or even starting in a beginner Jazz class to get active and have fun. There are so many options and so much to learn that the directors at Dance Inc know that “It’s not just about teaching the next step, we really have passion for dance and want to inspire youth,” says Jeff Wong. “We realize that we are not just teaching dance but we are teaching life lessons!” adds Bre Wong, co-director and Top 20 ﬁ nalist on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. “From the industry to the studio, the lessons are the same, and whether you are dancing for a career or for fun we all have things to learn.” Bringing the lessons that she learned on the show back to her students has been one of her biggest pay offs. “I think one of the most important things is to EVOLVE. As dancers, teachers and as a studio, we spend the time working in our industry to bring that creative edge to our dancers”. You’ll ﬁ nd that this studio constantly works to bring the best and the brightest professionals to the studio to ensure their students are consistently evolving! Their competitive students get the opportunity to learn from some of the most inﬂ uential educators in dance right now, such as Sonya Tayeh, who will be coming to teach a workshop at the studio in October. DANCE INC. has a program for all students and offers a large variety of classes for everyone! Check out one of their most popular classes; Boys Only Hip Hop/Break Dancing! A class created to introduce males to the world of street dance in an action packed 45-minute class offered on Saturdays. All recreational classes at DANCE INC. have levels to ensure that dancers are excelling in their class from week to week and year to year. From Beginner to Level 3, a dancer can feel challenged and excited to learn each time they set foot in the studio. Kathryn Bisland, recreational director, adds that: “There is no better feeling than watching dancers walk in and out of classes with a smile on their face, sweat on their brow and a new lesson in their head. It is why we do what we do. To see a dancer develop from class to class and year to year is one of the greatest rewards a dance teacher can have!” To ﬁ nd out more about DANCE INC. and how you can evolve as a dancer, visit the website at www.danceinc.ca or stop by their booth at the Pickering Town Centre Fall Registration Show!.

They admit willingly that once your kids arrive at Planet Gymnastics they won’t want to leave. Now in its ninth year in Pickering and ﬁ fth year in Whitby, Planet Gymnastics is a recreational facility that offers gymnastic classes where kids can have fun, get active and workout their minds. And now is the time to register for fall classes. Shawn, who runs the facilities with his wife Denise, graduated from Seneca College’s Professional Coaching program, with a concentration on beginner and advanced gymnastics. He has been a professional gymnastics coach for over 18 years and has trained many champion athletes. Through his studies he discovered the beneﬁ ts of gymnastics training for kids. Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of classes, seven days a week, with something for kids as young as 18 months and programs for teens and adults. The ‘Parent and Tot Program’, for example, is for kids between the ages of 18 months to 35 months and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and engage in gymnastics with your child in a unique environment. This class is a great way to improve your child’s physical ability as well as their social skills and runs seven times daily during the week and four times daily on weekends. ‘Kindergymnastics’ offers a one-hour, weekly class full of fun activities, games and circuits that require preliminary gymnastic skills for children aged three to four years. In this program they will improve their balance, strength and ﬂ exibility and will gain their self-conﬁ dence. The ‘Recreational Program’ is for kids age ﬁ ve right through to teenagers. It progresses through the CANGYM recreational system, which includes all of the gymnastic events. Fully qualiﬁ ed instructors ensure that the skills are learned properly before your child advances to the next level. New to Planet Gymnastics this year is the Teen Gym program. This two hour class is available once a week for students to focus on speciﬁ c areas that they would like to improve. For dancers, cheerleaders, and for kids who are just full of energy, Planet Gymnastics offers ‘Tumble and Bounce’ trampoline classes. This two-hour class is ﬁ lled with lots of energy, bouncing and fun in which they learn basic tumbling skills such as front and back handsprings, somersaults, twisting and many other interesting skills. Planet Gymnastics features a three-storey play centre with a separate ball pit and specialty training equipment for toddlers. They also have a 40-foot tumbling trampoline, plus equipment that is made especially for kids as well as all the traditional gymnastics equipment such as uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance beams. Children should enroll in September but can be enrolled at any time throughout the season (pending availability), our classes run throughout the school year and we ﬁ nish up the season with a special gold medal presentation to all children held each June. It’s a great way to keep the kids active in a secure air-conditioned environment.

Gymnastics improve your child’s stamina and self-esteem Canadian Sport for Life magazine endorses gymnastics as an activity all children should learn because it provides a solid foundation for all other sports. Gymnastics promotes the ABCs of athleticism – agility, balance, coordination and speed and without these basic movement skills a child will have difﬁ culty participating in any sport. “Our kids, Kayla and Justin, have been attending your gymnastics programs for the past few years.

Workshops will be held August 10th to the 14th and there are still a few drop-in spots available. Don’t be left out, call now to have the opportunity to work with this wonderfully creative faculty. Classes starting in September are suitable for the recreational dancer or the serious competitive dancer, age three through to adult, beginner to advanced. There is no registration fee to sign up. You just pay for your ﬁ rst eight weeks of classes. The season runs through to June and ends with two, completely different, spectacular recitals. Both recitals are conducted with the utmost of organization by the faculty so the parents can sit, watch and enjoy the most wonderful dance recital to be seen. You will be thrilled and delighted watching your child perform the work that they have worked so hard to learn. DLDA has not lost sight of today’s economy by keeping recital costumes to a reasonable price and the price of classes have again not been increased. The competitive team boasts of wonderfully successful competitive seasons year after year. The past season was no exception with our dancers returning from two competitions with the highest mark of the entire competition as well as dozens of high scoring awards and trophies. They performed for “La Senza Girl” at the Toronto Eaton’s Centre, promoted Gwen Stefani’s new fragrance, danced for Sick Kid’s Hospital at Hazelton Lanes. Our competitive team proudly supported our community by performing for Art Fest, Relay For Life and July 1 celebrations. They will be performing at the PTC this August 29 for our Arts Council and in October for the half time show for the Argos. The studio is always looking for talented, ambitious dancers to join the team and be part of the new exciting year, which is about to start. DLDA offers exams in Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Acro. Serious students graduate from the studio with a teacher’s qualiﬁ cation in all four branches – a prerequisite for teaching at city dance programs, at other dance studios or to open studios of their own (which many DLDA alumni have done). It is also a qualiﬁ cation highly recognized on university entrance applications. If you wish your child or yourself to have the opportunity to be taught by this wonderfully successful faculty of teachers who accomplish so much with their students then call (905) 839-3041 for further info. You can visit the website at www.deniselesterdance.com to read about the alumni’s whom are performing anywhere from Broadway to Stratford, on cruise ships, teaching for the world famous Rockettes, choreographing for movies and for Wonderland. When you visit Wonderland this summer, be sure to see DLDA student Sara performing on International Showcase stage daily.

As a mother of two young children, I realize more than ever how precious our children are and our primary goal is to be able to provide the best for them, make sure they are happy and having fun with whatever they do. If they are good at it, well that’s a bonus! As a parent making a decision as to what your child participates in, where and with whom, it is probably one of the bigger decisions you’ll make. At Durham Dance Centre I’m very proud to say that I personally teach the two youngest classes offered in my studio for the past 17 years and I truly enjoy it! My staff and I are continually upgrading to ensure that we offer the very best Dance instructions and my studio has enjoyed continuous growth since opening seventeen years ago. I’m proud of the family atmosphere we’ve created and we offer competitive and recreational classes that will suit the needs of your child and family. Our competitive program produces outstanding results year after that often leads to a life of professional dancing, and a recreational program that keeps students committed to the art of dance until their post-secondary education programs! During these tough economic times, we as parents need to make sure that our money is being spent in the right places and achieving the best results for our children. I assure you that at Durham Dance Centre you will be happy with your choice. We provide over 7,000 sq. feet of clean studio space, a warm caring atmosphere, qualiﬁ ed teachers, amazing workshops that bring in the latest and hottest choreographers in the industry, R.A.D. ballet exams that always achieve outstanding results, and last but certainly not least three sell out shows at the beautiful Markham Theatre that all students participate in.

It’s almost like yesterday that Jacqueline’s School of Dance opened in the basement of my parents’ home with 35 students. I am overwhelmed at the growth. The successes of the studio are due, in large part, to a collection of great people from faculty, staff, students and families. We have a winning combination. I have so many “Thank you’s”. My Mom, Dad and sisters have been on this journey with me from the very beginning... building, watching and cheering. My husband, Mark and children, Jacqui, Johnathan and Sarah have all put a part of themselves into mom’s dream. Having all of my family involved in my school keeps my passion strong. To the faculty Gwen, Christine, Keri, Lia, Amy, Michelle, Lisa, Sarah, Fiona and Jadel and staff Lesley, Laura and Jhonna you each bring so much life and creativity to your classes, the children and the entire school. I can’t think of a greater group of people to work with. Thank you for sharing yourselves. Thank you to the families of JSOD. You entrust us with your most prized possessions. It is our honour to have your children in our classes. Finally, and possibly most importantly, to the students, thank you for embracing our visions, messages and choreography. Thank you for believing in JSOD and making us the top studio that we are today. We sincerely love watching you grow as young people as well as dancers. We see the fun you have in every class and the pride you show when you are dancing and it assures us we are doing things right. To our new students and families, I welcome you to the JSOD family. Thank you for choosing us. It is our goal to have you around for our 40th anniversary. Thank you to all from the bottom of my heart.” — With love, Jacqueline At our showcase, we asked some students to speak on behalf of their peers about their experience at JSOD. It became clear through their words that students of all ages ﬁ nd a resonance and appreciation for dance through our program. Below you will ﬁ nd excerpts of these speeches: Joshua (Age 9) – Dancing is my version of having fun. It’s important to know that it’s not about whether you win or lose but just doing what you love. Every time I go onstage it feels like life is just beginning. Julie (Age 9) – At JSOD, I have always been taught to push to new limits, stay true to who I am, and really believe in myself. I can remember when I was 3, and all I wanted was to become one of the big girls who wore black bodysuits. I am on that track to become one of those inspiring girls, and being able to pass on my passion to others. My dreams have come true with JSOD. Alyssa (Age 12) - Last season was one of the proudest moments of my dance career as I received the JSOD Spotlight Award. I have grown into a conﬁ dent, intelligent, and driven young woman. I would like to thank Jacqueline for giving me so many fantastic opportunities and making me the person I am today. Tiyondah (Age 15) - After high school, I plan to study dance in university. JSOD has taught me that with a combination of hard work, perseverance, and teamwork, you can achieve anything you want to. As a result of my time here, I have become a person who looks out for my peers, is supportive of growth and change, and puts 100 per cent into everything I do. I hope to take these qualities with me as I continue into what I hope to be a long career in dance! Danielle (Age 18) - As a 2009 graduate, there are so many things I learned in the studio that will remain with me as I embrace the real world, like my dance skills, work ethic, and appreciation for teamwork. However, it is the people that surround me-- the family we have created here, that I will keep in my heart for years and years to come. Sarah (Age 17) - Dance has given me the power to express what I cannot verbalize. The best feeling in the world is when you are in that moment we dancers are so familiar with; when you are simply dancing to feel alive. And although having my mom as a teacher has created some tense moments over the years, without her I would have never learned what it means to feel alive, how it feels when you’re on stage and you feel like you might explode because you are so in love with that very moment. I want to take this opportunity, to thank you, Mom, for teaching me how to be alive and for giving me those moments that will be with me forever. Jacqui (Age 23)- Although I am making my return to JSOD this year, I spent the last ﬁ ve years of my life at Queen’s University. I loved my academic life, but I never turned away from dancing—teaching, taking class, and running show rehearsals amounted to about 50 hours a week in the studio. I would walk around campus and not be known for my amazing ability to write essays, but for the moments I spent in front of an audience. I learned quickly that although I may have lived three hours away for several years, my heart has always stayed inside the walls of JSOD. It makes me so happy to think of the thousands of dancers who have left a little bit of their heart inside the studio -- maybe that’s why it feels so much like home for the many of us that spend hours upon hours there. So ... this is a perfect opportunity to write on behalf of the students of the studio and say thank you, for providing such an incredibly safe and supportive atmosphere for kids to set huge goals and to dream big, and for giving us the conﬁ dence to keep pushing. Let this upcoming year be a tribute not only to a beautiful art form, but to 25 years of excellence in dance. — Jacqui Willis, daughter, dancer, teacher, choreographer.

But that is exactly where the 18-year-old Pickering resident will be next month as he competes at the 2009 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra, Austra- lia from Sept. 1-6. “When I first started doing this I wanted to be a jumper and a trickster,” recalls the for- mer Pine Ridge Secondary School student, who just recently competed at the North American leg of the World Cup Series in two different Quebec cities. “But then this just kind of happened. I went with it, but never really thought it would be like this.” For the most part, though, his competitors likely wish Fraser had abstained from rac- ing and followed his desire to be a trick rider after watching the television show Drop In as a 14-year-old. After a little flirtation with trick riding, Fraser has been focused on competing at the highest level. With that has come some impressive results culminating with the impending trip as the only Ontario rider on the Canadian National Team. With plenty of excitement stemming from the opportunity ahead, Fraser has tried to parlay that into a boost for his preparation. “I am taking the excitement and trying to turn it productively into ways to fundraise and ride a lot, while fine-tuning what I have learned this season,” says Fraser. “I have also done some research on the track. I have done a little mini training program to pre- pare.” That training program will include weight training at ATP in Pickering as well as hitting the local trails. As much time and effort that Fraser has put into this, he was quick to recognize the sup- port he has had along the way from his fami- ly, friends, girlfriend, the biking community, coach Chris Cousineau, trainer Jamie Hol- lins and several sponsors including Primary Trek, the team he now represents. “It’s what helped me get to where I am,” Fraser says. “It’s added pressure, but it took a lot of stress off of me in terms of buying my own bike and stuff like that.” The trip to Australia will be Fraser’s sec- ond trip to the Worlds, after competing last year in Val Di Sole, Italy as a junior. Fraser, who hit the podium at the Canada Cup in Bromont, Que., plans to focus more on his biking career in the future.

PRFA thrives with eight men’s teams and eight women’s teams, thanks to the efforts of an enthusiastic executive team headed by President Jay Davis. Games are played through- out the week on the well groomed fields at the Dunmoore, Hydro and Centen- nial Parks under the watchful eyes of a rotating umpire team. To showcase the talent of its men and women players, PRFA will host an All Star Day, Saturday, Aug. 22 on the Dunmoore Park North Diamond locat- ed at the foot of Whites Road. This is the fifth annual All Star Game for the men and the fourth for the women. The games will start with the Men’s All Star Game at 11 a.m. and the Women’s All Star Game at 1:30 p.m. In between, there will be the first Home Run event for both the men and women which should be a dazzler. The day promises good ball, good food and most of all, good conversation as stories are shared with all. A park full of fans will only add to the excitement of the games. Check out PRFA’s website at www. pickeringfastball.ca for further informa- tion. HOCKEY Ajax Attack looking for a little help AJAX -- The Ajax Attack is seeking volunteers in all areas for the upcoming 2009-10 season. Volunteering with the Attack is a terrific way for any hockey fan to sup- port their community, while at the same time becoming an important part of the highest level of hockey locally. A volunteer position with the team is perfect for retirees looking to contrib- ute to their community, as well as high school students looking to fulfill their community service requirement. In particular, the Attack is looking for volunteers to work the ticket table, ushers, miscellaneous game day staff, and street crew to help promote the team. Anybody interested in volunteering with the Ajax Attack can visit the team website at www.ajaxattack.com or con- tact Derek Sharp at 905-259-2673, or derekpsharp@hotmail.com. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 13, 200926 AP SWIMMING Strong showing for Ajax Aquatic Club at Age Group Championships MONTREAL -- Ajax Aquatic Club swimmers Robert Gilchrist, Devin Ste. Marie and Zach Fedak were crowned national champions at the 2009 Swimming Canada Age Group Championships. Over 1,500 of Canada’s best 18- and-under athletes hit the pool in Montreal for the four-day meet, where AAC’s 18 athletes (one of the largest contingents of any club in Ontario) broke 12 club records. The team finished in the top 15 for the fourth consecutive season. Gilchrist, 14, of Whitby, found the podium in every event he compet- ed in, capped off by a gold medal and national champion status in the 50-metre butterfly. Gilchrist also won silver in the 50-metre free- style, and bronze in the 100 free, 100 fly, and 200 fly. Gilchrist broke the club records in the 13-14-year- old boys category in the 50 and 100 free, the 100 fly, and the 50 breast- stroke. Ste. Marie, 15, also of Whitby, was the national champion in the 200- metre butterfly, winning the race by a margin of three seconds. Ste. Marie also garnered bronze medals in the 100-metre freestyle and 100- metre butterfly events. She broke the club record in the women’s 15- and-over category in the 200-metre butterfly, narrowly eclipsing 18- year-old Christine Raininger’s new record set just the previous week at World Championship Trials. Courtice’s Zach Fedak, 16, suc- cessfully defended his national title in the 50-metre freestyle, a race he has never lost at age groups. Fedak also found the podium in the 50- metre butterfly, setting a club record and winning a silver medal. But perhaps his best race of the weekend came in the 200-metre freestyle, where he won bronze and crushed the existing club record in the men’s 15-and-over category by over one second. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Julian Monks won silver in the 50-metre breaststroke and broke his own club record in the process. Chris Tanouye, also 18, won silver in the 50-metre butterfly in a time of 25.07, which was a half second under the club record set a few moments before by Fedak. Tanouye also competed in finals in the 100- metre butterfly. Other finalists included Michelle Fleming, who placed sixth in the 200-metre breaststroke with a new lifetime best time. Allison Foster, a new addition to AAC, broke the club record by over five seconds on her way to a sixth-place finish in the 800-metre freestyle. Darelle Cowley, 14, broke a club record in the 50-metre breaststroke, while 16-year-old Julien Dodu appeared in finals four times, competing in the 400 individual medley, the 200 backstroke, the 200 free, and the 100 back. Raininger swam in finals in the 400 IM, while Alex Andrechuk made finals in the 50 breast. This season, 13 athletes in AAC caps have achieved a senior nation- al qualifying standard, breaking the previous record of 12 set in 1996 under Olympic coach Paul Meronen. In addition, AAC ath- letes broke over 20 club records for the third straight year.
