PICKERING -- Ontario Power Generation
employees saw white last week when more
than a dozen wedding dresses collected to
benefit cancer-related charities were dis-
played at the Pickering nuclear plant.
Laura Miller, a communications officer at
OPG, was behind the dress drive. She’s getting
married in Jamaica in December.
“A couple of months ago I was in the market
for my own wedding dress and heard about
The Brides’ Project through my own mom,”
said Ms. Miller.
The organization’s motto is ‘fighting cancer,
one dress at a time’, and it does just that by col-
lecting donated wedding dresses and selling
them to brides-to-be. All the profits generated
by The Brides’ Project are donated to cancer-
related charities such as the Canadian Cancer
Society and Camp Quality.

PICKERING -- A Pickering man is facing several charges after two women
alleged they were assaulted at his home during a weekend party.
Two Toronto women showed up at a police station at about 8:20 a.m.
Sunday, reporting they’d been victimized when they attended an after-
hours party at a residence on Twyn Rivers Drive, Durham police said. It’s
alleged one of the women was sexually assaulted and confined to a bath-
room until she was able to escape, while the second woman was bashed
on the head with a beer bottle and punched in the face.
As the women attempted to leave in a vehicle the accused man kicked at
them, police said.
Carwin Montgomery Campbell, 43 of Twyn Rivers Drive is charged with
sexual assault, and two counts of assault, forcible confinement, assault
with a weapon and drug possession.
Plan could be ‘complete
disaster’ or ‘innovation’,
says councillor

PICKERING -- Pickering councillors hope all the
schools set to go along Brock Road won’t cause
traffic chaos.
The planning and development committee
recently approved the Ontario Realty Corpora-
tion’s request to create one block for an antici-
pated Catholic elementary school on the eastern
portion of the city’s Duffin Heights neighbour-
hood.
Duffin Heights is envisioned as a residential
and commercial sustainable neighbourhood
located on both sides of Brock Road, between
Rossland Road to the south and Taunton Road
to the north.
The proposed
school site will be
about 1.74 hectares.
Although the ORC
owns the land, it
plans to transfer it to
the Catholic school
board if the sale is
successful.
The board will
be responsible for
developing it.
Monday, the com-
mittee also heard
plans for a French
school further south
on Brock Road, just
outside of Duffin
Heights.
A public school is
already planned west
of Brock Road at Der-
son Street.
Ward 2 City Council-
lor Doug Dickerson
pointed out the pro-
posal for the Catho-
lic facility is the third
proposed school in
the vicinity and raised concerns of more traffic
congestion along the major street.
“Boy oh boy oh boy, I do want to see some
detailed planning,” he said.
Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson
pointed out the property is behind Brock Road,
not on it.
Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell
suggested looking into sharing community
resources, such as libraries and recreation cen-
tres between the school boards and the City to
ensure the most sustainable use for the area,
which is expected to soar in population in the
years ahead.
“This could be a complete disaster or a huge
innovation in the way schools and communities
are built,” she said.
Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles suggest-
ed dedicated bus lanes on Brock Road to accom-
modate school and public buses while easing
traffic.

Nurses field
125 calls a day
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- It’s gone from two nurses on
‘phone duty’ to seven nurses answering
about 125 calls a day.
The Durham Health Connection Line helps
residents find services and provides health
education advice.
Rita Lajoie, a public health nurse with Dur-
ham Region, says the type of calls include
such topics as parenting, travel health and
immunization, prenatal inquiries, how to
quit smoking, breastfeeding help and post-
partum depression.
The health line was started in 1996 by the
Region’s health department as a way to pro-
vide information on its services.
The primary focus of the line is health edu-
cation and promotion, Ms. Lajoie says.
Many of the calls deal with immunization
issues, such as a parent calling after a child
has been suspended from school for not
being immunized, she notes.
“The calls we field, they’re not too happy.
They’re upset Johnny has been suspended,”
she says.
New mothers call in with questions about
breastfeeding, she adds.
People who are going on a trip will call to
find out about immunizations, such as “what
they need and where to access it,” Ms. Lajoie
says.
“We’ve had calls where people are short
of breath. We have them call 911,” she says.
“People have called with suicidal thoughts.
We keep them on the line, keep them talking.
We get the mobile crisis unit and the police
out to them.”
The nurses also help connect people to
local resources, Ms. Lajoie says, adding the
seven nurses have more than 200 years of
combined nursing experience.
“If they call and want to access a doctor or
they need help with breastfeeding, who do
you call?” she asks.
If a parent has a two-year-old with behav-
iour management issues, “we can go through
an assessment. A lot of family doctors don’t
know. They (parents) can call us and we
know,” she says.
Installing car safety seats is another “critical
issue,” Ms. Lajoie says, adding only one clinic
is held each month.
“The clinics fill up quickly. People are sur-
prised they can’t roll up to the fire depart-
ment or police and get a seat installed. They
need to book one month in advance. That’s
an issue,” she says.
Offering the services is important because
a family doctor may have limited time to deal
with some concerns, Ms. Lajoie notes.
Last year, about 29,400 calls were made to
the health line. Between January and March
of 2009, the average number of calls was 125 a
day.
There’s no limit on the time a nurse will
spend with a caller, Ms. Lajoie says.
All calls are documented on confidential
computerized records, which is mandated by
the College of Nurses of Ontario.
The health line has access to a translation
service for people who don’t speak English.
“It’s really important and we do have that ser-
vice,” Ms. Lajoie says.
The line operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday to Friday.
Any questions of a medical nature are redi-
rected to TeleHealth Ontario, she adds.
TeleHealth Ontario is a 24-hour, seven-day-
a week service, providing medical informa-
tion primarily focussed on illness.
The Durham Health Connection Line num-
ber is 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.
Those wanting TeleHealth Ontario can call
1-866-797-0000 or TTY at 1-866-797-0007.

PICKERING -- Carol Hunt remembers
going to meetings with a baby in a Snuggli,
a toddler in a wagon and a preschooler tug-
ging at her hand.
Some people - mostly men - seemed
stunned she had brought her kids along.
But with stickers and snacks to entertain
them, Ms. Hunt knew she had a 40-minute
window to get something done.
That’s been the Pickering resident’s phi-
losophy as she organizes in her communi-
ty - everything from the school fun fair, to
getting neighbours’ driveways shovelled, to
fighting for a playground.
The other option - being stuck at home all
the time - has never appealed to Ms. Hunt,
47.
“If there’s a problem, I think: How am I
going to assist or resolve this problem?” she
said. “I don’t have much time for complain-
ers. I need people who can complain - but
can find a solution.”
She started community work in Scar-
borough, where she and husband Robert
bought their first house in a neighbour-
hood with lots of isolated seniors. She
worked with councillor Brad Duguid to
create the Bendale Park Community Asso-
ciation. Working with other residents, she
came up with activities such as fall fairs and
line-dancing.
“The unique point about this communi-
ty association was there was no key issue. It
wasn’t about fighting a condo development
or anything like that. It was just about build-
ing a tighter-knit community,” said Coun.
Duguid. “She’s one of those people who see
something needs doing, and she steps up.
To me, they are the local heroes.”
After a move to Pickering, Ms. Hunt quick-
ly got involved again. She loves being busy,
but believes there’s also a payoff for her
children: Daniel, 16, Olivia, 13, and Wil-
liam, 11. “It’s modelling for your kids. It’s so
important to demonstrate that you’re not
isolated. If someone needs help, you help,”
she said. “It’s a family commitment to mak-
ing a difference, doing what is right.”
That doesn’t mean it’s all serious. They like
to have fun, from creating a haunted house
in the garage every Halloween to doing a
30-minute makeover in a neighbour’s yard,
competing to pull the most weeds.
Often Ms. Hunt is prompted to act by
something that just doesn’t make sense.
Officials closed off a park in the wake of a
spate of vandalism years ago, removing a
play area. Noting how kids had to crowd
into a single playground, Ms. Hunt called
the City to ask for more play equipment.
She hit a bureaucratic wall.
“I’m not good with ‘no,’ especially when I
know instinctively that the answer should
be ‘yes’,” she said. She kept calling until she
found someone willing to meet with her.
Park measurements and photos in hand,
Ms. Hunt trotted down to city hall with
Daniel, 9 at the time, and was ushered into
a formal boardroom.
“I’m in shorts and T-shirt and they’re in
suits,” she said.
Nervously, she made her pitch. A few
days later, a city official called to ask if used
equipment would be OK. “Of course I didn’t
care,” she said.
A climbing wall and extra swing sets were
added to Forestbrook Park, now a hub for
kids.
Ms. Hunt believes everyone should feel
they can contribute. “The danger of com-
munity stuff is that it can be very cliquey,”
she said. “And too often, no one wants to
initiate something but, once you start it,
they’re into it. It just requires someone to
light the fire.”
Last fall, after 16 years as a stay-at-home
mom, Ms. Hunt headed for teachers’ col-
lege, coming up with more ideas during her
school placements - from a girls’ club to a
science day, for which she called on nurse
friends to lend her X-rays and heart mod-
els.
“You have to be creative and innovative,”
she said. “Just ask. You ask people for help.
The worst people can say is no.”
Councillor Bill McLean calls Ms. Hunt a
great recruiter and catalyst. “Man, I wish I
had more Carols,” he said. “She is dynamic,
task-oriented and a high-energy individu-
al. We need people like that to build strong,
vibrant and safe communities.”

Program offers free,
confidential well checkup
PICKERING -- Durham Sustain Ability
hopes to make the region’s rural residents
well aware of their wells.
The non-profit environmental organiza-
tion is offering rural Durham homeowners
its Well Aware program, a free, confiden-
tial and non-regulatory well checkup con-
ducted by a certified guide.
The voluntary visit is designed as an edu-
cational tool to offer direction of the best
management practices for healthy and
clean drinking water.
The guide will spend two hours with the
homeowners addressing potential risks
to the water supply, and will teach them
about soil types and how each varies in
vulnerability to groundwater. The guide
will also show how to routinely inspect the
well and septic and provide information
on upgrades, water testing and mainte-
nance.
Residents are encouraged to ask specif-
ic questions and point out possible con-
cerns. Following the visit, the homeowner
will receive a report in the mail containing
the observations and recommendations.
In the past three years 230 homeown-
ers have taken advantage of the program.
Space is limited, and homeowners can call
to book the visit.

Ajax taxpayers need a
council that will hear
budget concerns
To the editor:
Tough economic times should mean
tough decisions by our politicians in order
to reduce spending and to not increase our
taxes. Mayor Steve Parish said after coun-
cil passed the 2010 budget that this was the
best they could do and if anyone could do
better with less tax increase, council would
want to know.
The fact is, this council has never once
had an open public meeting at any time
in order to discuss with or hear from the
voters of Ajax on the matter of budget and
taxes.
If someone does come before council
with ideas and suggestions, council fails
to acknowledge or consider such input.
Instead, this council just keeps raising our
taxes because it always decides to com-
plete projects it wants, such as the pur-
chase of St. Francis de Sales, no matter the
cost (even if double the original estimate)
and no matter if the voters say no.
And the sad part is that the voters of Ajax
are either oblivious to our constant tax
increases thanks to this council and/or the
voters just don’t care. On Oct. 25, we the
voters of Ajax need to do a retrofit on Town
council.
We need to totally transform council by
electing seven new politicians who will not
make budget decisions without first con-
sulting the taxpayers. I’m sick and tired
that our taxes keep going up and up, and
that all members of this council just don’t
care.

SAFETY
Looking forward to
Pickering sidewalks
To the editor:
As a person who prefers to walk to get
around Pickering, I am delighted to read
that plans are being made to pave Kingston
Road from Scarborough to Ajax.
I would be happy with a tarred sidewalk
if cement is too expensive. We need to feel
safe walking so please move that sidewalk
back from the zooming trucks, buses and
cars.
I like a little breeze when I walk but not
from traffic.
Please make it wide enough that a baby
carriage and bike can pass without having
to go out into traffic.
If I’m not dreaming too big, covered bus
shelters at all stops would be the icing on
the cake.
Pedestrians one, cars zero.

HST
New gasoline prices
include a tax on a tax
To the editor:
When buying gasoline, it appears we are
being ripped off even more with the intro-
duction of the HST.
This unsavoury practice was already in
effect to a lesser extent when only the GST
was applied. The government has the gall
to require us to pay a tax on an already
existing tax.
Here’s how it works: for every litre of gas
sold at the pump, there is a provincial fuel
tax of 14.7 cents. There are also federal
excise and other taxes, which brings the
total built-in gas tax to about 30 cents per
litre.
But does the government apply the HST
on the amount of 70 cents per litre that is
not pre-taxed?
No way.
In a grand case of double-dipping, we are
being conned into paying the HST on the
full amount of the cost of gasoline.
A tax on a tax is the ultimate unfairness.

Unity in Community draws the best out of Durham
A link to the past has drawn a Durham
Region couple to improve the future for
others in their communities.
Kayla Dingwell and Will Shaw are the
driving force behind Unity in Commu-
nity, a grassroots organization that works
to provide engaging events and activities
for residents across Durham Region. The
group is celebrating its first anniversary
this week and plans a celebration at a Clar-
ington Park.
And their first year of helping Unity
in Community has been ambitious and
rewarding. A community cleanup in
Oshawa last fall saw more than 100 volun-
teers turn out to lend a hand. A Valentine’s
Day dance, community barbecues and
a concert were among some of the other
community-focused events that marked
year one.
Along with the July 17 celebration in Clar-
ington, Unity in Community is planning a
block party in August at the Eastview Boys
and Girls Club in Oshawa, and a fundrais-
er for teen murder victim Michael ‘Biggie’
Smalls to purchase a memorial plaque in
his honour is in the works.
All of this sprung from a return visit by Mr.
Shaw to the social housing complex where
he grew up in Toronto. Poorly maintained
buildings and amenities, cracked asphalt,
and a derelict basketball court greeted Mr.
Shaw when he paid a visit to his childhood
home.
It was then that he vowed to make a dif-
ference and Unity in Community was
formed shortly thereafter by Mr. Shaw and
Ms. Dingwall.
It is precisely this kind of social con-
sciousness and belief in making a positive
difference that makes Unity in Community
-- and the people who support it -- such a
compelling organization.
People who believe in the potential of
their community see past the blemishes.
People who believe in the inherent good-
ness of people see past their appearance or
social standing.
People who believe that good things
come from collective will contribute to the
good work of Unity in Community.
The organization, too, can continue to
grow and establish itself more deeply in
our communities with the help of everyday
Durham Region residents. Look around
your neighbourhood. What needs fixing?
What can you do as a member of your
community to improve things? Do youth
have enough to keep them busy? Is the
neighbourhood in need of a light cleaning?
Are there seniors nearby who could benefit
from the smile of a friendly visitor?
You’ll find like-minded people at Unity
in Community.

City drafts disaster care
procedure for animals
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- If disaster occurs in
Pickering, humans aren’t the only ones
City staff plans to save.
The City’s executive committee voted
Monday to incorporate an animal ser-
vices emergency response plan into the
City’s current community emergency
management plan. The plan has proce-
dures in place to handle disasters such
as flooding, fire and nuclear emergen-
cies.
“This is another example of the level
of service Pickering extends to its resi-
dents,” said Ward 2 Regional Council-
lor Bill McLean, chairman of the animal
services committee.
The plan is intended to control and
support humane care of companion ani-
mals and sets out policies and proce-
dures for safe removal and care and con-
trol of animals during a disaster. It also
lists related roles and responsibilities of
participating agencies and partners.
“While the care of animals in disaster
should never take precedence over the
care of people, it has been proved that
providing care for animals plays a role
in facilitating the personal safety and
care of a large number of people when
in an emergency situation,” said the staff
report, put together by Lindsey Brenner,
animal services supervisor and City
clerk Debbie Shields.
Coun. McLean pointed to the situation
when Hurricane Katrina devastated New
Orleans and many residents refused to
leave their homes without their pets.
“People would rather jeopardize their
lives than leave their pets in a situation
they have no control over,” he said.
The plan will set out care for all ani-
mals, whether removed from their own-
ers’ homes or not, and provide measures
to control animals running at large. The
plan will also provide a public response
mechanism to answer questions on ani-
mal concerns.
“This is another good reason why resi-
dents should register their pets,” Coun.
McLean said.
Ms. Shields agreed.
“If you’re not registered, we wouldn’t
know you have an animal in your house,”
she said.
If an emergency takes place, the
municipal emergency control group will
be advised, then the City clerk, followed
by the animal services supervisor. The
latter will notify animal services officers
and the bylaw manager if necessary,
along with partners such as vet clin-
ics and the Humane Society of Durham
Region.
If there’s no immediate threat to the
health and safety of pets, animal servic-
es will provide support to pet owners.
In the case of an immediate threat to
the animals, the City will set up an emer-
gency animal facility at a public location
such as an arena. If all City locations are
deemed disaster zones or at capacity,
staff will contact supporting agencies to
find an alternate location. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 15, 20108

PICKERING -- He’s still the gas man - just
don’t call him that on Parliament Hill.
Liberal MP Dan McTeague has split his
political profile from his role as gas guru
following a ruling by the federal ethics
commissioner.
The ruling means Mr. McTeague will still
provide data to www.tomorrowsgasprice-
today.com, but he will not have any finan-
cial ties to it, won’t link to it from his offi-
cial government website and will no longer
run it out of his office.
“He’s a sitting member of Parliament
and the website is a business, so he has to
divorce the two,” said his executive assis-
tant, Glen Bradbury. Mr. McTeague has
been helping consumers across the coun-
try save money on gas by posting daily
predictions on his website. Most days,
he’s accurate to within a tenth of a cent.
The site, launched in April 2008, typically
attracts 40,000 visitors a day.
Mr. McTeague said he asked for the
review months ago, following worries over
the compatibility of the project with his
political career.
“A year and a half ago, my site started
crashing every day. It wasn’t designed or
meant to do this,” Mr. McTeague said.
So he teamed
up with Cyberwalker
Media Inc., a Toron-
to-based web con-
tent company run
by journalist Andy
Walker.
But with adver-
tising dollars pulling
in enough revenue to
cover the cost of run-
ning the site, www.
tommorowgaspric-
estoday.com is now
considered a corporate entity.
Because of this, ethics commissioner
Mary Dawson declared the website to be a
conflict of interest for Mr. McTeague in his
role as an MP.
Mr. McTeague is happy with the ruling,
saying that without a commercial interest
in the entity, he can focus on getting the
information out while serving his constitu-
ency.

DURHAM -- Property owners should cir-
cle March 9, 2011 on the calendar.
That’s the day Durham Regional Coun-
cil is expected to approve its 2011 budget,
including the property tax increase for
next year.
What increase councillors and staff will
be aiming for won’t be known until Jan.
26 of next year. That’s when the budget
guideline will be approved by Regional
council.
This year, the Region raised taxes 2.15
per cent. For a house assessed at $299,100,
that worked out to $47.
For the past few years, Regional budgets
have been finalized in February, but it’s
being pushed back about three weeks next
year. The municipal election is in October
of this year and Regional council won’t be
meeting in October and November.

P
When Ms. Miller walked into The Brides’
Project in Toronto, lightning struck.
“I bought my dress at The Brides’ Project,
the first one I tried on actually,” she said.
The dress was brand new, donated by a
boutique, and she’s keeping mum on what
it looks like until her big day. However,
after she’s worn it, she plans on donating it
back to The Brides’ Project.
“I thought it was a great organization and
it made me feel better about spending that
kind of money when I’m only going to wear
it once,” said Ms. Miller.
But even before she gets married, Ms.
Miller decided to do something for the
organization, putting a call out among fel-
low OPG employees to donate their once-
worn wedding dresses. She ended up col-
lecting about 20. They ranged from dresses
that had sat in storage for years to recently
worn gowns.
“I actually got one today where someone
just got married on the weekend,” said Ms.
Miller last week.
She said most of the former brides were
happy to donate their dresses so they
wouldn’t sit there collecting dust.
“Most people save them with the inten-
tion of family members using it and I don’t
think that pans out very often,” said Ms.
Miller.
Even dresses that have yellowed can be
used when sold as costumes to theatre
groups and at the end of the day, it was
about doing a good deed.
“They just felt like their experience in
the dress was great and it’s cost effective
and eco-friendly and that just appealed to
them as well.”

Four more schools
to offer free program
this September
DURHAM -- This fall, parents will have
more early learning options for their
kids through the Durham District School
Board.
Following the success of two Parent and
Family Best Start Literacy Hubs, the Dur-
ham District School Board is introduc-
ing four more sites this September, heard
trustees attending a June 21 meeting.
The goal of the centres is to provide early
literacy school readiness, parental engage-
ment opportunities, and a range of other
integrated services to parents, according to
a staff report presented by superintendent
Lisa Millar. The centres were staffed and
funded through community partnership
groups.
In Oshawa, Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School
received 2,221 visits from children and 597
from parents, whereas Beaverton received
1,028 children and 686 parents since open-
ing in September 2009.
This September, Bolton C. Falby in Ajax,
Glen Street and Queen Elizabeth pub-
lic schools in Oshawa, and Vaughan Wil-
lard in Pickering will join the list of centres
being added to Durham schools. Staff are
also developing three satellite programs to
run one to two half days per week at Bay-
view and Fairport Beach public schools in
Pickering, and Coronation Public School
in Oshawa.
Other free programs are also occurring
to assist with early learning, including
School’s Cool, Ready for School, and Sum-
mer Stay and Play.
So far, the board has secured more than
$1.2 million in external funding for such
programs for the 2010/2011 year.
Some of the next steps include expand-
ing sites at which the programs are avail-
able, and holding five town meetings to
engage communities in early years learn-
ing, the report said.

tion saw peak demand of 214.85 mega-
watts on July 7.
That was the highest demand this
summer but was still lower than Osha-
wa’s winter peak which hit 232 MW, said
Shawn Otal, interim vice-president of
engineering operations.
“Demand has been up during the last
day or two,” Mr. Otal said. “But it’s still
nowhere near the winter max peak.”
He said Oshawa’s residential demand
has decreased over the past five years
despite an increase in the number of
customers. This might be due to an
increase in energy efficient appliances
and customer awareness, he said.
The winter peak started trumping the
summer peak around 2002-2003, he said.
Even though most new homes in Oshawa
have gas heat, many older buildings are
still heated by electricity, he said.
More stove cooking during the winter
and turning on lights earlier because of
early sunsets are other reasons the win-
ter peak has surpassed the summer’s, he
said.
Veridian Connections saw a peak
demand on July 7 of about 475 MW
for its customers in Ajax, Pickering,
Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono,
Uxbridge, Port Perry, Beaverton, Sun-
derland, Cannington, Port Hope, Bel-
leville and Gravenhurst.
In comparison, the peak on the previ-
ous Monday was about 340 MW.
The Independent Electricity System
Operator projected Ontario’s Tuesday
peak would come at around 6 p.m. and
hit 24,868 MW.
The record summer peak in the prov-
ince was set on Aug. 1, 2006 and was
27,005 MW.

BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
Success has followed Derek Keenan everywhere he
has been.
Growing up in the tiny hamlet of Mitchell Cor-
ners, he played minor hockey and lacrosse in Oshawa, grad-
uated from Courtice Secondary School and received a field
lacrosse scholarship to Ithaca College in New York. He won
an Ontario championship with the Bowmanville Eagles
Jr. C hockey club, won the Champions Cup in the Nation-
al Lacrosse League a number of times as both a player and
assistant coach, and represented Canada internationally in
field lacrosse. His individual awards are numerous.
Currently, he juggles the head coaching responsibilities of
three teams, including the Whitby Midget A team, the Jr. A
Whitby Warriors and the Edmonton Rush of the NLL.
How does he do it? Well, here’s some insight into his coach-
ing philosophies and beliefs.
What are the most important qualities of a coach?
Keenan: You have to be patient. You have to be very open
minded in a lot of ways. For myself, I never close my mind to
new ideas. Sometimes they may be outside the box and they
may seem goofy. I don’t think, in lacrosse in particular, there
is any one right way to play the game or coach the game. And
the game evolves, so you have to be able to adjust and move
with the times in order to be successful. I think communica-
tion is huge. You have to be a good communicator with play-
ers and, in the minor case, with parents as well. I think ener-
gy. I’m a big energy guy. The coach is the leader of the team
and if the coach drags his ass into the rink for practice and
he’s tired, how are your guys going to respond? That’s the
way they are going to respond, especially kids. Even at the
pro level you have to bring energy. Sometimes it’s hard to do,
but you have to suck it up and bring energy. In practice and
games, you have to bring enthusiasm, energy and that inten-
sity level that kids, juniors and adults will follow.
What is your formula for success?
Keenan: It starts with the players. To me, it starts with
character. Probably to my team’s detriment, I’ve sacrificed
some quality for character. I believe it works and I think I’ve
proven it. In a very short time in Portland, we put together a
good team based on good players and good character guys
and good leaders, and I think we’ve done the same thing in
Edmonton. I’m a big believer in team building. I’ve been
doing it with our kids in the minor level since they were eight
years old. Weekend retreats, sports psychologists, camping
weekends. Some structured, some not as structured. We do
it at the pro level, too. At the minor level when I started with
these kids in 2003, we spent a ton of time on skill develop-
ment. By the time we got to bantam, midget now, we can do
anything at a high pace. For a coach coaching a young team,
they get in and caught up in winning. They think they need
to know how to play defence, they have to know how to tran-
sition and be able to pick and roll. You can’t do any of that if
you can’t pass and catch.
Is there a difference in how you treat junior players com-
pared to pros?
Keenan: I’m hard on the kids and I have been for a long
time and I haven’t seemed to take the foot off the gas yet. I’m
hoping to this year come provincials. I believe for every really
great player out there, there’s been a guy like me or Jim Bish-
op who’s driven you hard, made you accountable and made
you a really good player. I don’t let mistakes slide. They are
going to hear about mistakes. At the same time, they have a
heck of a lot of fun. I will never forget an article I read on Rick
Majerus who is a basketball coach at Utah. He said one of
the problems in society is parents want to over-protect their
kids. They don’t want them to learn the hard way. If you have
a coach that’s hard on you, then he’s the bad guy. I’ve been
lucky. I haven’t had a group of parents like that and I think it’s
because we’ve been very clear and communicated what our
program is going to be and we’ve had a lot of success. I’m not
fooling anybody, I’ve had a lot of really good athletes too. It’s
not always about the winning. That’s a by-product.
What approach do you take in dealing with parents?
Keenan: You have to have some rules and guidelines. Lay it
on the line at the beginning of the season what the program
is. This is the level of expectation in terms of commitment,
this is the intensity level we expect of the kids, the financial
commitment. You have to be really clear on everything and
you have to do it in writing and in a meeting. From there, you
set your guidelines. If you have a problem, my rule is don’t
even come near me before a game, after a game or even
before a practice because I bring the energy level to the rink
and I’m pretty focussed. It’s probably not going to be pretty
if that happens. We all need time to cool off. Again, very few
issues over the years because there is a clear understanding
of what we are trying to accomplish and how we are trying
to do it. I’m not for everybody and I know that and that’s OK.
I’m fine with that. I’ve been lucky, but I think a lot of it has to
do with how we approach things from the very beginning.
Have you had to make changes in your style to deal with
today’s players?
Keenan: I guess you need to always evolve. The players
are different, but you can say that of every era. Technology is
huge. How do you deal with that stuff? My rule is there are no
cell phones in the locker room with the kids. The pro level is
a different story because they have jobs, but there is a certain
point on game day when you shut them down. Our kids don’t
come in the dressing room with them. I’ve been helping out
guys and players are texting 15 minutes before the game. You
can’t allow that. I’m huge on accountability. Most of the kids
want to be successful. They want to achieve a high level, but
don’t know the direction to take. At the end of the day, you
are developing character. If guys are blowing off practice,
they’re late or not working hard, sometime down the road,
that’s probably what they are going to be like in the real world
and then they won’t survive.
How do you define success?
Keenan: At the pro level, we are there to win champion-
ships and put people in the seats. At the minor level, it’s about
development. It’s about skill development, character devel-
opment, athletic development. The guys playing junior A,
they want to play in the NLL. It’s the highest level so you have
to continue to develop that. From there, it’s winning a Minto
Cup. That’s how you measure it in junior A. I will measure at
the end of my tenure with this group how many guys we put
in the NLL. In recent years, there haven’t been many with our
program in Whitby. Others are ahead of us now and it cer-
tainly isn’t because of numbers.
What drives you to keep coaching?
Keenan: I just have a great passion for the game of lacrosse,
for teaching, for the kids. I usually get a little emotional when
I talk about the group of (midget) kids because it’s our last
year. They’ve grown up together and that’s a big part of it
because you watch them at seven or eight years old and now
they are young men. That’s been exciting for me and reward-
ing. The pro level, it’s certainly not for the money when you
consider all the work we put into it and the travel, it’s pretty
much minimum wage. For me, it’s giving back. I got a heck
of a lot out of this game. I’ve been involved in the pro league
for a long time, got a scholarship as a player, played on great
teams, played with great guys. In the minor level, I’ve got
more out of it than I’ve given. My son has been involved in the
team since day one, so that has been an awesome experience
to coach him and watch him grow with his friends. That has
been rewarding for me. Me giving back is with the junior pro-
gram because it’s a huge commitment. There’s no money in
it. It’s costing us money. It’s time away from my family. I have
unbelievable family. My wife gets it. She is a Nieuwendyk, she
grew up in that household where it was sports, sports, sports.
So she understands it. She shakes her head at me sometimes,
but at the same time, she gets it.

Public can search
for local writers
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Ajax Library wants local
writers to stand up and identify them-
selves so they can be added to a data-
base of Durham authors.
Donna Bright, chief librarian and exec-
utive officer of the Ajax Public Library,
said authors in the database will be fea-
tured on the library’s website and the
public will be able to search for local
authors.
“We wanted to support and gain recog-
nition for these authors and artists that
live in our community and region,” said
Ms. Bright.
The library plans to highlight authors
who currently live in Durham as well as
authors who may have had a connection
to Durham in the past.
For example, Ms. Bright said she didn’t
realize Leslie McFarlane, who wrote
many of the Hardy Boys books, lived in
Whitby. Other well-known authors who
resided in Durham include Lucy Maud
Montgomery, who lived and wrote in
Leaskdale in Uxbridge Township, and
Timothy Findley, who lived in Brock.
The goal is to launch the database this
fall and Ms. Bright said local authors
represent living history.
“We’re looking at it truly as a research
database for students and genealogists
and local historians, anyone who’s inter-
ested in regional writers.”
Authors interested in being added to the
database:

Habitat for Humanity Durham.
Habitat for Humanity is an organization that provides
affordable homeownership opportunities for families who
fall into the low income cost of living. It is home-owner-
ship, not low income housing that we provide. Families
gain fantastic skills by helping to build their homes and
they immediately support their local business community
because the companies and people supported them to build
their new home!
The ReStore creates a fundraising opportunity by giv-
ing the general public the opportunity to purchase new and
slightly used items at a low cost keeping reusable and resal-
able items from landfill while directing the proceeds from
each sale to the charity.
The Garage Sale this weekend is sponsored and run by
Pickering Village United Church. The ReStore will have

Quinnipiac it is for Hagg
Ajax resident earns
hockey scholarship
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Megan Hagg has some sound
advice from her father to thank for the fact
she is off to Hamden, Connecticut on a
hockey scholarship.
The Ajax resident will be spending the
next four years at Quinnipiac University,
hoping to be a major contributor to the
Bobcats women’s hockey program.
“I never really knew that girls got scholar-
ships, and then my dad talked to me about
getting my marks up and making sure I had
the marks to go down there,” to the United
States to further her education and hockey
experience, she explains.
Thoughts of a scholarship first danced
into her head in Grade 9 at Denis O’Connor,
and by Grade 10, she was sending out
emails to some schools she was interest-
ed in. By the following year, the trend was
reversed, as schools started contacting her
with information packages.
It was actually ringette that attracted her
to the ice at an early age, but she quick-
ly switched to hockey, suiting up with the
Durham West Lightning until two sea-
sons ago when she changed to the Toron-
to Aeros, feeling it would give her a high-
er level of competition and provide more
opportunities, she says.
As part of team trips, she visited and
played against prominent schools like
Harvard, Cornell and Brown. She also
took tours of the campuses of Quinnipiac,
Clarkson and Syracuse with her family. It
was the trip to Connecticut that made a
lasting impression, says the 18 year old.
“When I saw Quinnipiac, I just knew.
The rink was huge and unreal. I visited the
campus and it’s not a small campus, it’s
kind of like a community. A lot of schools
are spread out around the town, so I kind
of like the campus together.”
While the scholarship all but ensures her
a spot on the roster, she realizes that play-
ing time will have to be earned. At the same
time, coach Rick Seeley told her to be ready
to make a contribution.
“He said basically he’s not going to bring
me to sit there and watch. I should be on
the second or third line. Maybe not right
away, but I definitely won’t be sitting,” she
says.
The transition to a new school and sur-
roundings will be made a little easier with
the accompaniment of friend Kelly Bab-
stock, a teammate on the Toronto Aeros
who also accepted a scholarship to Quin-
nipiac.
“I’m really excited,” says Hagg of head-
ing down in late August. “I’m not that ner-
vous because I have a girl on the hockey
team last year that also got a scholarship to
the school, so I have one of my best friends
coming with me.”
In addition to taking a strong work ethic,
play-making skills and the ability to bury
the puck when given the chance on the ice,
Hagg will be studying criminal justice in
the classroom.
MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE
Rock
win one
on the
road
KITCHENER -- When your best players are
just that, wins are usually what follows.
That’s what the Ajax-Pickering Rock
encountered on Tuesday night on the
road in Kitchener facing the Kodiaks.
Jumping out to a 3-0 bulge just 13:37
into the game, the Rock never relin-
quished the lead, posting a 7-3 victory
over the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks in
Major Series Lacrosse league play.
A trio of players turned in performances
that were most notable on the gamesheet,
including top scorers Jesse Guerin and
Jason Mainer, as well as goaltender Pat
Campbell.
Guerin, the club’s leading scorer, con-
tinued his strong season with a seven
point night, including a goal and six
assists. He leads the team in the scor-
ing race through 13 games with 14-28-42
numbers.
Not far behind in the scoring race and
on the night was Mainer, who scored
three times and chipped in with just as
many assists for a six point night. He is in
second in the team scoring race behind
Geurin with 15-20-35 numbers.
While those two looked after things
offensively, on the other side of the ball,
Campbell turned in a splendid effort in
goal. He allowed just the three goals on
46 shots according to pointstreak.com.
Also chipping in with goals were Justin
Gibson with a pair and Brandon Collins
with a lone tally.
The Rock led 3-0 after the first period,
with the teams trading goals in the sec-
ond. A pair of goals just 22 second apart to
start the third opened up a 6-1 advantage
for the Rock and they cruised through the
final 15 minutes.
The win improves them to 3-10-0 on the
season, yet they still sit in the basement
of the six team league, one point back of
the Brooklin Redmen and three behind
the Kodiaks. Peterborough leads the way,
followed by Six Nations and Brampton.
The Rock and Kodiaks will play a
rematch in Ajax on Friday at 8 p.m. at the
Ajax Community Centre.

Dr. Jeremy Barchman to
run Chicago Marathon
to open non-profit
chiropractic clinics
AJAX -- Ajax resident Dr. Jeremy Barch-
man will be putting his body through the
ultimate test when he runs the 26.2 mile
Bank of America Chicago Marathon for
the first time in the United States on Oct.
10 for a chiropractic charity.
Dr. Barchman has been spreading the
word about his upcoming race to his
patients and the local community.
“As a family wellness doctor, and with
a wife/partner who is a pediatric special-
ist, most days have some great experi-
ences. Seeing young kids stay off drugs
and grow up with their full expression
is fantastic. Helping adults change their
mindset and their lives through their
own motive power is an amazing experi-
ence as well,” stated Dr. Barchman.
Dr. Barchman decided to run the Chi-
cago Marathon because it is the closest
big race to his hometown of Davenport,
Iowa and he has been overwhelmed at
the support he has received from the Ajax
community and area businesses. When
asked why he is running for charity, Dr.
Barchman explained that “while still in
chiropractic college, my wife and I saw
first hand both the need for chiroprac-
tic in developing countries and the pro-
found effects our care had on the people
there. We vowed to be a part of causes
like that in the future. I am running for
those that have never heard of chiroprac-
tic.”
He will be joining doctors, students,
patients and supporters of chiropractic
from around the country who will all be
‘Running with a Vision for a Healthier
Tomorrow’ this fall. All money raised will
go towards opening up new non-profit
clinics that provide chiropractic health-
care in Third World countries. This year
NPCO has chosen to open a sustainable
clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican
Republic.
To find out more about Dr. Barchman’s
upcoming run, or to support him in his
fundraising goal, visit his personal fund-
raising website at www.active.com/
donate/NPCOMar/Jbarchman.
Dr. Barchman is hoping to finish with a
time of 3:45.
“I have the privilege of living a short
run from one of the best lakeside parks
on Lake Ontario, which provides beauti-
ful training grounds for a fall marathon.
I would like to extend thanks to every-
one that has been supporting me in this
exciting venture.”

ers of Dynamic Balance Chiropractic in

Burnett to coach Canada’s U18
CALGARY -- George Burnett, head coach
and general manager of the OHL’s Belleville
Bulls, will be the head coach of Canada’s
national men’s summer U18 entry at the 2010
Memorial of Ivan Hlinka.
The tournament is scheduled for August
10-14 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The 48-year-old Burnett will be joined
behind Canada’s bench by Ron Choules
(head coach of the QMJHL’s Acadie-Bathurst
Titan) and Jim Hiller (head coach of the
WHL’s Tri-City Americans) for the tourna-
ment, which Canada has won in each of the
last two years, and five of the last seven.
For the Port Perry native and former coach/
GM of the Oshawa Generals, this marks his
second appearance as head coach of the
U18’s. Burnett led Canada to a gold medal
at the 2001 Six Nations Cup in the Czech
Republic.
His most recent experience with Hockey
Canada came as an assistant coach with the
men’s U18 team at the 2010 IIHF World U18
championship in Belarus, where Canada fin-
ished seventh.
“It is always a tremendous privilege and
honour to represent Canada on the inter-
national stage,” Burnett, a current Courtice
