Christopher “Splitz” Tshilombo, 17, died after being shot in the parking lot behind St. Nede- la Macedonian Orthodox Church at about 1:20 a.m., Durham police said. It’s believed about 100 people were at a party in the Bayly Street church’s basement banquet hall. Police and paramedics responded to a report- ed shooting and found a friend of the victim try- ing to load him into a car.

The Darlington nuclear generating sta- tion produces 20 per cent of Ontario’s base electricity and yet many people who live within a stone’s throw of the place might not know what goes on there. On July 9, Clarington This Week was invited by Ontario Power Generation for a tour of the Courtice facility and a crash science course. The plant has been run- ning since 1990 and tours used to be open to the public. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 in the United States, secu- rity is much tougher. It took weeks to get approval to tour the plant and there was a long security check when we arrived, including an explosive sniffing device that looks like a metal detector and shoots lit- tle bursts of air at your body. The basic process of the plant had already been explained: Heavy uranium rock is ground up and melted down into hard pellets to form fuel bundles. Ura- nium is used because its atoms (the tiny building blocks of everything, which are made of protons and neutrons) are par- tially unstable and split easily when bom- barded with neutrons (called fission). That split creates two things: heat and radiation. The heat is the desired result. Heavy water (water with a different molecular makeup making it heavier) flows over fuel which is 800 degrees Celsius and is then piped through a container of regular water. The heat boils the regular water to steam and the steam is used to spin a tur- bine in a generator and make electricity. The entire Darlington facility -- which is so big you can barely see one end from the other -- is designed to power four generators, each the size of a trailer and seem tiny in the large plant. The electricity made from the genera- tors is passed through a transformer and sent along to the power grid. We were taken high into the plant to look down onto a large purple nucle- ar reactor. Darlington has four nuclear reactors, each painted a cheery primary colour to differentiate one from the other. There are 6,000 fuel bundles in each reac- tor. The plant is divided into different lev- els based on the amount of potential for radiation. As we leave the higher levels, we have to step onto radiation detectors to make sure we’re not contaminated. It’s a finicky machine that needs your weight to be perfectly balanced between your feet and your arms to be pressed firmly against the sleeves. We go through so many on the way through the plant that by the end of the tours, we’ve almost stopped holding our breath until we hear the friendly chime or the word “clean.” Nuclear energy also produces radio- active uranium, which is called “spent fuel”. After the fuel is used, it’s stored in large steel crates which sit in a large pool of pure mineral water for 10 years in the Darlington plant. Then it’s moved to a dry storage build- ing on the Darlington property, where it will stay for the next 50 years. Eventually it will be moved to a long-te rm waste management facility run by the federal government. The storage of the used uranium is safe and highly regulated, according to Bev- erly Forget, Darlington senior communi- cations manager. “Everybody says ‘Oh, radiation’, but it’s in our bodies naturally. We have enough radiation in our bodies that if we were a cleaning cloth in the plant, we would be low-level radioactive waste,” said Ms. Forget. On July 9, there was an issue with the transformer on unit two at Darlington. As the transformer underwent repairs, Dar- lington employees were on standby in case the reactor needed to be shut down. Unfortunately, that issue kept the control room off the tour. “We want the 100-per cent focus of our operators and staff,” said Ms. Forget. There are some big changes planned for the Darlington nuclear plant in the com- ing years. OPG is planning to refurbish Darling- ton’s four nuclear reactors, to extend their generation capability to about 2050. The detailed design for the refurbish- ment of Darlington Nuclear is expected to be complete in 2014, according to Stu Seedhouse, site vice-president for Dar- lington. The refurbishment is expected to begin in 2016. The Ontario government chose Dar- lington as the site of two new nuclear reactors and OPG will operate the new facility. When the provincial government went looking for people to build the new plant, only the bid from Atomic Energy of Can- ada Limited (AECL) -- a federal Crown corporation -- met the requirements, according to Mr. Seedhouse. The cost was higher than estimated. “When the price came in, there was sticker shock,” said Mr. Seedhouse. Now the federal government is consid- ering restructuring AECL and even sell- ing off certain parts of the organization. The province could decide to wait to see what changes are in store for AECL before moving ahead, according to Mr. Seedhouse. It’s still uncertain when the project will go ahead. However, Darlington is still working on the environmental assess- ment, so that when approval does come through, work can begin right away, explained the vice-president. “From breaking ground to electricity, in China they did it in under five years,” said Mr. Seedhouse.

Memorial, funeral scheduled for this week KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The cab driver who let Patrick O’Sullivan out of his cab before he was struck and killed Saturday morn- ing will not face charges, police say. The 23-year-old Pickering resident was heading east- bound in a taxi early on Saturday, July 24 on Hwy. 401. He got out of the cab at Neilson Road and Hwy. 401 around 2:30 a.m., said OPP spokesman Sgt. Dave Woodford, adding he doesn’t know why the victim decided to exit the taxi. “He advised the taxi cab driver to let him out at the Neilson Road exit, which he did, and at that point the cab driver observed him enter the highway again and proceed along the 401,” he said. “He immediately called 911 about the incident because pedestrians are not supposed to be on series 400 highways.” About 10 minutes after police received calls about someone walking east- bound along the highway, Mr. O’Sullivan was struck by numerous vehicles past the bridge at Morn- ingside Avenue, and was pronounced dead at the scene. “The driver will not be charged,” Sgt. Woodford said. The taxi driver told police he dropped Mr. O’Sullivan off of at the top of the Hwy. 401 exit at Neilson Road, not on the actual highway. Even if he did drop Mr. O’Sullivan at the side of the highway, it wouldn’t nec- essarily be considered neg- ligent “because he did call in,” Sgt. Woodford said. There have been cases where clients will simply decide to exit the cab while it’s moving, and although Sgt. Woodford said that wasn’t necessarily the case in this incident, taxi drivers are aware of the possibil- ity. “If he pulls over to the side of the highway and makes sure the passenger doesn’t jump out I think he’s done the proper thing,” he said. Police are still investigat- ing a number of issues, such as where Mr. O’Sullivan was coming from, if alco- hol was involved, why he was out, and what exactly happened leading up to his being hit. The drivers who hit Mr. O’Sullivan won’t be charged either because reconstruction of the scene shows that Mr. O’Sullivan did veer into the road. “The question was what was he doing out in a live lane,” he said. OPP would like people to call with any information about the incident. “One of the things that OPP are always looking for is anyone with informa- tion, not just witnesses,” Sgt. Woodford said, adding that could mean people the victim may have met before getting into the taxi, or anyone who saw him on the shoulder of the high- way. He said Mr. O’Sullivan is the 12th fatality on an OPP-controlled highway this year, up from 11 in all of 2009. Anyone with information is urged to call OPP at 905- 841-5777. Visitation for Mr. O’Sullivan is being held Wednesday, July 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax. The funeral mass takes place Thursday, July 29 at 11 a.m at Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church, 796 Eyer Dr., Pickering. A celebration of his life will follow. The family is asking that donations be made to a charity of choice in lieu of flowers.

Three sought in Ajax store robbery AJAX -- Police are seeking three men for the armed robbery of an Ajax convenience store July 21. Just before 2 a.m. three masked men, one of them armed with a hand- gun, held up a store on Rossland Road East, Durham police said. They fled with cash and the lone clerk wasn’t injured. Police are appealing for information as they attempt to identify the suspects. Call 905-579-1520, ext. 5355 . From page 1 Paramedics took over, but were unable to save the youth, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said several male suspects were seen leaving the scene of the shooting in a vehicle. No arrests have been made and Durham homicide detectives want to talk to anyone who was at the party, or who has knowl- edge of Christopher’s activi- ties in the hours leading up to the shooting. Call Detec- tive Terry Haight at 905-579- 1520, extension 5247, or Det. Mitch Martin at extension 5405. The number for Dur- ham Region Crime Stoppers is 1-800-222-8477. On Friday morning, police had the large parking lot to the south of the church, on Bayly Street near Westney Road, cordoned off with yel- low tape. Officers worked near a Hyundai Sonata with Tennessee licence plates that was partially covered by a yellow tarp. Officers climbed a lad- der to examine spots on the church’s outer wall and gath- ered evidence in a vestibule leading to the church’s ban- quet hall. Nearly a dozen vehicles remained in the cordoned- off lot. Yellow evidence markers and red traffic cones were scattered throughout the lot and a forensic identi- fication truck idled nearby. Inspector Brian Osborne said investigators have been gathering evidence from young people who attended the party. “We do have cooperation on the scene,” he said, but added police are still seeking more witnesses. Insp. Osborne said the church often rents out its hall in the basement that has a capacity for more than 100 people for various functions. “It was a birthday party,” he said. “The party itself had no affiliation with the church.” “There’s no indication that alcohol had been sold.” As the morning wore on, friends of the slain boy gath- ered at the church. They said Christopher was an aspiring rapper who went by the names “Splitz” and “Codeine”. A number of vid- eos posted to YouTube by an Ajax rapper known as Splitz and Codeine show a baby- faced boy wearing a ball cap, posing and rapping. One of the videos appears to be set in the teen’s bedroom. A friend of the victim was surprised and saddened to hear of his death. “He didn’t have problems with anyone,” said Saad Khokhar, as friends of the victim attended the crime scene where police were investigating. He confirmed Christopher, a student at J. Clarke Rich- ardson Collegiate in Ajax, was attending the party at the church, but he himself wasn’t there. “I heard about it through a friend,” he said, adding everyone is really upset and trying to cope with the news. He said his friend had been passionate about music since he was just 10 years old. “Chris was a really cool guy,” he said. “Language was his favourite subject. He had a real way with words.” Mr. Khokhar was upset his friend wouldn’t be able to play in a show he had lined up in the near future. “I would say he could have gone somewhere,” he said. Following the shooting, the social networking site Twit- ter was buzzing with expres- sions of grief over the killing, and tributes to the dead boy. “Rest In Paradise Splitz, Wow, there’s actually some crazy s--- going on in the world right now. Never take anything for granted,” one read. “Attempt number four to fall asleep, sweet dreams twitter. rip splitz ! lifes waaaay too short,” reads another. “Ughhh can’t people go out (and) f---in enjoy them- selves without shooting peo- ple, rip splitz,” reads another entry. Over the weekend, a steady flow of posts also popped up on Christopher’s Facebook page and in the comments for his videos posted on You- Tube. “I cant believe your gone i cant even think about you without feeling sick. Every- body that had known Chris knew that he was truly gen- uine and had sooo much in store for him,” read part of a post on Facebook. The incident rattled peo- ple in the area, many of them workers and restau- rant patrons who arrived at a plaza next door to the church Friday morning to find the area blocked off with police tape and vehicles. One woman, who works at a Subway sandwich shop in the plaza, alerted police after finding a knife concealed behind a trash receptacle in the restaurant Friday morn- ing. The shop was robbed twice in a week recently. “I’ll be honest: I’m scared,” said the woman, who asked that her name not be used. The woman said a number of small businesses in the area have been targeted by bandits, who pull heists for small amounts of cash and then flee into the darkness of the nearby Duffins Creek valley. “All the small businesses are getting hit,” the woman said. “I guess the area’s changing.” Gentry Trick arrived at her job at a fast food shop to find access to her regular parking lot blocked by police vehi- cles. She’s shocked at the outburst of violence. “It’s normally a pretty quiet area. We have really good customers, really respect- able people,” she said. “It makes me a little ner- vous that it happened where I come to work each day.” The killing is the seventh homicide in Durham Region this year and the second involving a teenaged boy. Michael “Biggie” McDonald, 16, died after being stabbed during a fight outside an Oshawa high school March 30. An 18-year-old is charged with second-degree murder in that case. -- With files from Kristen Calis durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 28, 20105 P 705 Pontypool Rd., Pontypool, ON 705-932-GOLF (4653) Monday to Friday Golf and Cart $45 ($40 after 3pm) Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Golf and Cart $59 ($50 after 3pm) Foursome Special after 11 am daily Golf and Cart Mon $140 ($35 each) Tues-Fri $160 ($40 each) Sat, Sun, Holidays $200 ($50 each) MID-SUMMER SPECIALS Not valid with any other coupon.

Last week as I was watering my front lawn I noticed one of my favourite pieces of work missing. This piece was carved into a woodspirit and the actual wood is more than 100 years old. It took months for me to carve it and paint it and it was stolen just like that. Not only do I feel violated but can’t under- stand how anyone can just take something that does not belong to them. I would like to have it back and this is why I am writing to you, in hopes that the person that took it would know how much it meant to me. Elisa Ciancio Ajax WASTE Pickering’s decision on Big Pipe battle was dictatorial To the editor: I recently heard my Pickering City coun- cillors announce that they, in secret, have decided to cease legal action concerning the Big Pipe project by York Region. No public consultation, no democratic interaction, no disclosure, no justification, no public, no concern for our future. In fact, City council has done exactly what we have complained that York Region, Dur- ham Region and to some degree the pro- vincial government did, and that is keep the residents of the Pickering in the dark concerning matters that directly affect us. This type of governance has no place in our society. City council stinks as much, or more, than what the Big Pipe will impose on our community. Do we need to access the Freedom of Information Act to determine if the action taken by council was fair and just? What we experienced was dictatorial. Is the City of Pickering now going to rescind the one per cent tax increase imposed on residents? I do not believe that council can unilaterally impose such actions without reopening the budget. There are many unanswered questions because of council’s secretive actions over the last several days. Now it is even more incumbent upon us to stand up and make our voices heard. That could best be done by a protest in large numbers in front of City Hall. We must not let councillors think that what they have done is right. Let’s use our influence when it comes to election time Oct. 25. Let’s make sure that they all hear, “you have been voted out by your electorate”. Stop the Stink now also pertains to the stink emanating from Pickering City Hall. Mike Borie Pickering TRAFFIC Parking bylaws must be obeyed To the editor: Re: ‘If you park illegally, you deserve a ticket’, letter to the editor, News Advertiser, July 14. I live by the lake in Pickering. The whole summer, not just Canada Day, we have enormous traffic and parking problems on our short dead-end street. Cars are parked illegally under the signs “no parking”, in front of fire hydrants, blocking driveways and in the middle of the “turning circle” at the end of the street. Just the other day, I watched a UPS truck that was forced to back up all the way to Liverpool Road because illegally parked cars made it impossible for the truck to turn around. Meanwhile cars continued trying to turn into the street to find park- ing. We have a beautiful waterfront beach park here in Pickering with a large kids’ playground, water park and volleyball courts. I’m happy that people come here to enjoy time with family and friends and to listen to the music (waterfront concerts on Thursday nights), but the laws need to be obeyed. Municipal bylaws are created for that very reason.

It’s part of an effort by Harmony Pub- lic School principal Lynne Herr, who hap- pened upon the idea -- and a willing Otta- wa-based business -- while browsing booths at an educational conference. The result is an informal initiative between Harmony P.S., a private Toron- to school and the business, Best Tools for Schools, which assembles kits filled with school supplies. The arrangement will see kits donated to children at Harmony P.S. from additional units purchased by par- ents of children at the private school, facil- itated by Best Tools for Schools. It’s a unique and open-minded approach that will serve local students well. And it can be expanded to schools across Dur- ham Region, particularly in communities hard hit by the recession. As well, more affluent Durham Region school communi- ties might consider similar partnerships to assist needy neighbours close to home. If we are to give Durham Region’s ele- mentary school students the best possible path to the future, rooted in education and knowledge, these kits can provide them with a slight advantage. Children have no say or control over the state of their fam- ily’s finances, but they are eager to learn. Arranging kits to allow them to focus on education -- and not on what their peers have, or what they don’t -- can only pro- vide benefits to the individuals and the larger school community. Just this week, 14 kits were purchased by local businesses to assist the children at Harmony P.S., issuing a challenge to other leaders in the process. Indeed, local school community councils can organize fund- raisers and direct the proceeds to kits for needy kids in Durham. Other community groups can host kit fundraisers in prepara- tion for the new school year. If you’re able to on an individual basis, you might con- sider buying a kit to donate if you’re buying one for your child or children. The great equalizer in our society is edu- cation. We owe it to our children -- all of them -- to provide the best possible foun- dation in their lives to grow and prosper and ultimately contribute to the commu- nity. If school communities, local service organizations and individual residents combine their efforts, so many more chil- dren in Durham Region will be given the opportunity to, as they say in business, hit the ground running. Combined efforts can give kids head start in new school year 7 P Tell us about your best summer vacation ever.

We did a lot of water-skiing.’ WE ASKED ... ...AT THE PICKERING PUBLIC LIBRARY durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 28, 2010 You can’t look at this summer and tell me something isn’t up with the environ- ment. If my little town, even my own backyard, is any kind of reliable barometer of plan- etary flux ... then something is definitely rotten in Denmark. For starters, the mosquito numbers have risen to a level rivalling that of the Amazon basin. They’re big and they’re cocky, too. I saw one of them carrying a small child down the main street of town yesterday. Our yard is lovely and green and full of plants and we have a cedar hedge on our property, so we are used to having the whining, blood-sucking fiends around to some degree. But not like this. Usually, for instance, it’s well after dusk before it really becomes difficult to sit outside, bite-free. This summer they’re slavering hungrily at every screen before the sun has barely risen. Even the dog is reticent to go out and do his business. He’s taken to eyeing the toilet longingly and looking at me for instructions. And these suckers are tough. Unless your repellent has enough DEET in it to put you one squirt away from a seizure, they laugh at you. With this kind of onslaught, surely malaria cannot be far behind. To that end, my wife and I have increased our gin and tonic intake to almost double the norm. One can’t get enough quinine in times like these. I’m also going to redouble my weekly single malt quota, just on the off- chance it contains some medicinal bene- fit of which I’m currently unaware. I may, at least, have one answer to the mosquito conundrum. The bats. While the mosquito hordes have grown expo- nentially, the bat squadrons seem to have dropped to single digits. In past summers, the agile night hunt- ers could be counted on to fill the sky at dusk. You could almost hear their engines revving as the sun began to dip, so eager were they to go out and eat their weight in pointy-nosed plasma thieves. This year though, for some inexplicable but, I’m sure, environmentally dire reason, bats are scarcer than Mensa cards at a tanning salon. Likewise we have hardly seen our old pals the dragonflies. Once upon a time you could count on those four-winged aces to make a huge hole in the pest pop- ulation. A July afternoon would not be the same without several of these aeronautically nimble assassins whizzing protective- ly about the gardens. Again, where are they? I’d like to think the decrease in bats and dragonflies is nothing to worry about, just a normal cyclical anomaly. But in real- ity I am sure it has more to do with coal- fired generators, paint being dumped down sewers and, quite possibly, Stephen Harper. I have no factual basis for indicat- ing the latter. He’s just fun to blame. Whatever the cause, the reality is that we are being eaten alive. Something is out of whack. I find myself yearning for those bliss- fully ignorant days when we could hang Vapona strips about the house like toxic Chinese lanterns and happily spray our lawns and bushes with stuff that would make Agent Orange look like citronella. Sure we’d destroy the planet, but at least we’d be comfortable. -- Neil Crone is a Durham Region resident who saves some of his best lines for this column. Mosquito masses take a bite out of my summer NEIL CRONE Pet adoptions and pet rescues To the editor: The Humane Society of Durham Region needs your help. Its temporary shelter should only accom- modate 65 cats but now has more than 100 with many more housed in foster homes. Recently the humane society saved 19 dogs that were living in unacceptable con- ditions. Earlier this month officials rescued 110 cats at one location. In April they freed 25 cats living in squalor in an apartment in Ajax. Now is time for us to help them in any way we can.

Keith Miller Oshawa Shame on person who left cat in a bag To the editor: This is to the person or persons who abandoned a beautiful calico cat at the pet store in Lake Vista Square. She is young and friendly. She depended on you to give her a safe haven and food. She cannot defend herself as she is de- clawed. How well do you think you would do if someone chopped off all your fingers? Putting her inside a plastic shopping bag inside of a duffel bag shows your mental- ity. She certainly would not have survived in there for long. Maybe that’s what you were looking for. When I took her home with me she was extremely over-heated and thirsty. You could possibly work at GM as there is a commemorative pin on the duffel bag of the type that only GM workers would receive. You are also a smoker because the bag reeks of cigarette smoke. I hope that you don’t have any other pets that depend on you because as far as I am concerned this little cat is in a much better place. Marina Abbott Oshawa One of the difficult things about photographing spot news is that by the time you get to the incident it has often been taken care of already. This is especially true of fires. On this occasion the fire had been extinguished by the time the reporter and I arrived. I still needed to get a photo to go with the story so it was just a matter of waiting for something else to happen. I got some shots of firefighters walking in and out of the house but they weren’t all that great. Eventually they started using the hose again to cool things off and I shot a few more decent pictures.

In part one, we look at the first line of defence against crime, the residents themselves. REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It was a horrific tragedy that shook the community surrounding Ajax’s Hermitage Park in February 2009: a fight at the park spilling onto Griffiths Drive and end- ing in the death of two teens, mowed down by another teen at the wheel of a Saturn Ion. Area residents were left stunned by the senseless loss of life and angry that it hap- pened on their streets. “It really shook the community because we’re a family-based bedroom community,” said Joanne Meli, a resident of Leah Cres- cent. The outpouring of community anger at a subsequent public meeting was expected. “Coming out of it, we wanted to know how do we prevent this from happening again?” said Ms. Meli. And that’s when the residents banded together, with help from the Town of Ajax and Durham police, to make a long-term change to their community. First came the Neighbourhood Watch and then the creation of Friends of Hermitage Park, a group dedicated to ensuring the park is clean, safe and welcoming to all mem- bers of the community, including teens. Ms. Meli now serves as the chairwoman for the Friends. The group has organized activities such as a park cleanup in the spring and a barbecue is in the works for September. Last year, the barbecue was hosted by the Town and this year the residents will be in charge. The most important result is that neigh- bours now feel like they know each other. “It’s really helped unify the neighbourhood and really brought people together,” said Ms. Meli. And the community feels a lot safer. “When my son rides his bike with his 12- year-old friends up to the park ... I don’t have fear anymore because I know the communi- ty is watching.” Morgen Dobson, the regional Neighbour- hood Watch co-ordinator for the Durham police, said the Hermitage Park group is a great example of what dedicated residents can accomplish. She said there are two reasons Neighbour- hood Watches tend to be established. “(One is) a new community and people want to use it to get to know each other ... the other reason, unfortunately, is what hap- pened in Hermitage, so you have a catalyst.” A catalyst has made Brooklin a hot spot for new Watches. “More watches are being formed there than anywhere else right now because of all the break-ins that took place a year ago,” said Ms. Dobson. Through Neighbourhood Watch training, residents learn safety strategies. With local captains responsible for groups of homes. They also connect so when crime happens, everyone is aware and alert. Neighbours who are at home during the day keep an eye on the homes of residents who are away at work. Overall, everyone feels better when they’re actively engaged. “What this has allowed us to do is claim ownership of our neighbourhood,” said Brooklin resident Stephanie Paul. Rochelle Blakey-Michaud of Whitby’s Blue- grass Meadows Watch said schools are often the hub for community information, and if people don’t have children, they can be out of the loop. Neighbourhood Watches fill that gap. Overall, there are more than 180 Neigh- bourhood Watches in Durham with between 200 and 400 homes in each one. But it takes more than the creation of a watch to work towards community safety. Kathleen Turnpenny represents a south Oshawa watch which was established some time in the early 1990s. About four years ago, it was revitalized and it takes work to keep it up. “We seem to have to go out a lot to get the names of people who live here ... we have to reintroduce ourselves to the residents,” she said. “The biggest trick for us is we have to pay attention to which homes are being sold.” Some of the changes are minor, but they make a big difference in the neighbourhood. Ms. Turnpenny said teens used to drink at a local park. “They used to (call) dial-a-bottle and deliv- er it to the park. They don’t do that any- more.” Nadine Brown of the upcoming Vimy Ridge Watch in Ajax said the community recently helped search for a child with autism who had wandered away. The Grasshopper Park Watch in Claring- ton, north of Bowmanville, is at least 13 years old. Brigid Fisher said that as a rural watch, concerns include speeding and dirt bikes and ATVs on the roads. “It’s very quiet out there and it’s a good way for the neighbours to keep in touch and to talk about anything that’s going on.” Bonnie Groome is working on a watch for the Albert Street and Celina Street area in Oshawa. The neighbourhood is active and occasion- ally there is a police raid on a suspected drug house, but she said downtown Oshawa’s bad reputation is not warranted. “The reality is, yes, there are some prob- lems happening in the downtown core, but there’s a lot of good,” she said. Challenges for Ms. Groome include absen- tee property owners and turnover. She’s determined to keep up the effort and get her community organized. And ultimately, it’s that type of spirit that makes local communities safer. “If we want a safe community, we have to create it. We can’t leave it to other people to create it,” said Ms. Meli. In part two Wednesay, Aug. 4, we’ll look at what community leaders, the police and local organizations are doing to improve community safety.

Case Realty, Brokerage durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 28, 201012 AP EDUCATION Durham school gets supplies through Ottawa firm Kits of school supplies donated to Harmony Public School MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Local kids will have a little help getting ready to go back to school this fall, thanks to an Ottawa-based business. Lynne Herr, the principal of Harmony Public School on Har- mony Road South, was browsing the booths of vendors at a confer- ence when she noticed Laurie St- Julien’s business, Best Tools For Schools. Ms. St-Julien offers par- ents the chance to get school sup- ply kits online. Ms. Herr thought the idea was really interesting. Schools sign up with Ms. St-Julien’s business and she prepares kits with the preferred supplies in them. Then parents can order the school-spe- cific kits online instead of going to multiple stores. Ms. Herr said she told her the kits looked great but, after seeing a price list, knew it wouldn’t be a feasible option for her school. “I told her it was really too bad because my kids couldn’t afford this,” she said. “We have a lot of low income kids and we try not to ask for money as much as we can.” Ms. Herr said Harmony P.S. doesn’t even send home a school supply list because they know most of the parents of the 130 students at the kindergarten to Grade 8 school wouldn’t be able to afford to buy the stuff on it. About 75 per cent of the school population lives in local co-op housing developments, she said. And many parents can’t get to places like dollar stores where school supplies are cheaper because they are located far from the area, she added. “There are very few businesses in our neighbourhood,” Ms. Herr said. As a result, most school supplies come from charitable organiza- tions such as the United Way. The fact that the school relies so heavily on donated supplies made Ms. St-Julien want to help, she said. When parents buy kits online, they have the option of buying an additional kit to donate to a child in need at their school, Ms. St- Julien said. She knew this model wouldn’t work at Harmony so she tried to think of other ways to get supplies there. She was able to partner the local school with a Toronto pri- vate school. Parents who are buy- ing supplies online at the Toron- to school can chose to purchase an additional kit to send to Har- mony in September. So far about a dozen kits have been donated. Ms. St-Julien said she suspects more will come since the compa- ny’s peak sales time is in August. “Parents want to give to those who are less fortunate,” she said. Any businesses or individuals that would like to donate kits or supplies to go to Harmony P.S. can contact Best Tools for Schools at 1-866-980-1133.

HOCKEY Wakefield, Stoneburgh tabbed by Canada Pickering athletes looking to make grade at U22 and U18 level CALGARY -- Hockey Canada has released a couple of selec- tion camp rosters ripe with Dur- ham Region talent. At the U22 level, Pickering’s Jennifer Wakefield, an Olym- pic hopeful earlier this year, has been named to one of the two rosters for the selection camp. Wakefield will suit up for the blue squad. The 21-year-old forward has been a member of the world national team before and is one of four women named to the selection camp that have that distinction. Other names of interest who are in the running to make the team include Newcastle’s Tara Watchorn and Whitby’s Kelly Terry. Both Watchorn and Terry will lace them up for the yellow ros- ter. Watchorn, 20, a member of the women’s team at Boston Uni- versity, is one of 13 defencemen dispersed between the two ros- ters, while Terry, who just turned 18 last month, will vie for a spot among the group of forwards. A longtime member of the Whitby Wolves program, Terry is headed to the University of Min- nesota on a hockey scholarship. The selection camp will be held at the Mastercard Centre in Toronto Aug. 6-15. Meanwhile, at the U18 level, Pickering’s Shannon Stoneburgh is one of 12 defenders looking to make the grade. If the coaching staff is looking for some size on the blue-line, Stoneburgh can deliver just that as at almost five- foot-11, she is the tallest defend- er listed among the group. Stoneburgh plays for the Dur- ham West Lightning. MAJOR SERIES Rock falls in series opener Team suffers 8-6 loss to Six Nations SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Despite a loss, Ajax- Pickering Rock general manager Paul St. John was encouraged by the effort put forth by his club in their playoff opener Monday night. The Rock, coming off a last place finish in the Major Series Lacrosse regular season standings and some controversy surrounding players not dedicated to the team last week, gave the Six Nations Chiefs all they could handle in an 8-6 setback. “We played well. We just couldn’t score,” in a timely fashion said St. John on Tuesday morning. “We got good chances. There is good goal- tending in our league, but we make some goalies look real good and last night was one of those nights, that’s for sure.” Jake Henhawk was in goal for Six Nations, subbing for Matt Vinc, who was a member of Team Cana- da’s silver medal team at the world field championships in England. The Rock did beat Henhawk for the first marker of the night, with Jesse Guerin scoring at 2:23 of the first period and according to the game sheet, fired 49 shots on goal all told. Six Nations, though, was quick to answer back on Pat Camp- bell, scoring just over 30 seconds later and from there they would build a 4-1 lead after 20 minutes. St. John then watched his team fire home three second-period goals, two by Justin Gibson and the other courtesy of Brock Boyle. Then, down 7-4 early in the third, Gibson followed with two more to cap a four-goal night and pull the Rock to within one. That was it though, the offence unable to beat Henhawk from there on out. While stealing a win would have been the preferred end result for St. John, he was simply happy with the way his team reacted in their first taste of playoff lacrosse at the Major Series level. “The guys that are there are try- ing. They played hard last night and I was proud of them,” he said. “They made a believer out of me last night. They showed me that they were here. After last night’s game I told them we can win some games here, maybe push these guys to the limit. “It was a game realistically that we felt we should have won,” St. John added. Though the chances of pushing the series six or seven games may be a stretch, their first chance to stretch things out comes tonight at the Ajax Community Centre in Game 2, at 8 p.m. “It’s great to get back at home. The guys were champing at the bit on the bus last night to be going back to our barn,” St. John said, adding that if the club puts forth another effort mirroring what they did Monday, anything could hap- pen. “If we can play like we did (Mon- day), we may sneak a win (tonight) and surprise everybody. I don’t know if we would really surprise ourselves anymore. We’ve been a team all year long that has ridden the roller coaster. As frustrated as I was last week, you saw last night that these guys really think they can win. That’s terrific.” Game 3 of the series will be back at Six Nations Thursday night, with Game 4 scheduled for Sunday in Ajax at 4 p.m. Notes The Major Series Lacrosse loop announced the nominees for the 2010 awards on Tuesday. Each team nominat- ed one player in each category. For the MVP award, the Rock put forth goalie ’s name, while was nominated for top defensive player and top rookie. While the first two are considered longshots to take home awards in their respective catego- ries, Guerin, a Peterborough native, has a good shot a rookie honours. “Finishing sixth in the league in scoring as a rookie. He had a terrific year. The kid, he’s legit. He’s the real deal,” said GM . “In my mind, if he doesn’t win rook- ie of the year, it would be really surprising. He has played well against every team in the league.” Guerin finished the year with 18 goals and 55 points in 16 games. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 28, 201017 AP Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

The CONCACAF cham- pions are in the midst of a 10-day camp in Santi- ago, which ends Aug. 3. They will play two match- es against Chile’s women’s U17 team, the first coming today and the second Aug. 1. In between the two matches, it will play a third exhibition match against Chile’s women’s U21 team. Canadian national coach Bryan Rosenfeld has selected 22 players for this camp, many of whom helped Canada win the 2010 CONCACAF Wom- en’s U17 Championship in Costa Rica in March. Two of those chosen are Ajax United members Zaki- ya McIntosh and Yazmin Ongtengco-Hintzen. Canada is currently pre- paring for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup Trin- idad and Tobago 2010. “This is our last oppor- tunity to select players before we go into the final preparation phase for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup,” said coach Rosen- feld in a press release that came out Tuesday. “The three matches (in five days) will provide our staff with the best oppor- tunity to see the players perform.” Canada will have a final camp in late August before departing for Trinidad and Tobago. The FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup runs Sept. 5-25. Canada’s three oppo- nents in the group phase will be Ghana, Ireland and Brazil. Two years ago, Canada reached the quarter-final stage of the inaugural FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup. McIntosh and Ongteng- co-Hintzen are the only two members of the team that hail from Durham Region.

GOLF Charity tournament being held to benefit Pickering hoopsters DURHAM -- Farley Flex is hosting the First Annual Youth Deserve a Chance to Dream Charity Golf Tourna- ment at Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club on Friday, Aug. 20. The charity, founded in 2002, is dedicated to the bet- terment of youth by creat- ing better opportunities and supporting local commu- nity youth services through fundraising and donations. Youth Deserve a Chance to Dream is a registered char- ity established in 2002 by Durham residents Marian Magloire and her son Jamaal Magloire, a current member of the NBA’s Miami Heat. The 18 hole, shotgun tour- nament includes driving range, barbecue lunch, cart, buffet dinner and a chance at $10,000 in prizes. The cost is $150 per golfer. There are also sponsorship opportuni- ties for individual holes, lon- gest drive, closest to the pin and putting contests. The proceeds from the inaugural YDCD Golf Tour- nament will go to support- ing student-athletes of the Pickering High School bas- ketball program. The pro- gram’s legacy of multiple provincial championships has resulted in invitations and opportunities to trav- el abroad. However, finan- cial limitations have pre- vented many of the students from attending past trips. This year the boys’ and girls’ teams hope to compete in North Carolina at Christmas. If you would like to par- ticipate in the tournament as well as sponsor there is a 20 per cent discount with a foursome. Charitable receipts are available upon request.

Greer, making his debut at the tourna- ment after a stellar NCAA career, scored his second goal with 17 minutes remaining to give Canada its first lead, 9-8, after they had trailed 8-4 at halftime. But the Americans scored four of the final five goals and prevailed 12-10, winning their ninth title in 11 tournaments. Shawn Williams, an Oshawa resident and former longtime captain of the Brooklin Redmen, also scored in the final. “They scored the last two goals and that was basically it,” Williams said in a Team Canada press release. “It was ours for the taking. Both teams played awesome. It was definitely fun to be part of.” Williams, who was a member of the 2006 winning team, ended up with seven goals and two assists in seven games. Greer matched John Grant Jr. and Garett Billings with a team-leading 13 goals and also had a team-high 11 assists, but was not named to the tournament all-star team. Grant, who scored three times in the final, was named the top attackman, and an all- star along with Americans Brendan Mun- dorf and Mike Leveille. Canada was perfect heading into the championship game, which included a 10- 9 win over the U.S. in the first round. The next closest game was a 15-6 win over Aus- tralia in the semifinals. The team also took three of the four major awards, with Brodie Merrill named the top defender and Chris Sanderson the top goalie. Tournament MVP Paul Rabil of the U.S. prevented a sweep by being named the best midfielder. Sanderson, who will resume chemother- apy sessions upon returning home in his ongoing battle against cancer, left players on both sides filled with admiration. “Playing an opponent, you don’t want to like him,” said opposing goalie Brian Dougherty. “You want to find ways to not like him to get yourself motivated. But what are you going to say about Chris Sanderson? He’s battled back so far, and he played his you- know-whats off today. Keep battlin’ Chris. I can’t say enough about him.” Leveille, who beat Sanderson for the game’s final goal, said his story inspired all the players in the tournament. “It was so great to see him out there play- ing at such a high level,” he said.

Loving sister to Jean, Bruce, Selby, and Scott Ford. Grandmother to eleven beautiful grandchildren. Originally from Dover, New- foundland, Joyce will be fondly remembered by many as a ﬁ xture of the Pickering Village for her kindness and generosity while work- ing at the Honest Crook convenience store. Her eternal good nature and selﬂ essness will make her irreplaceable as the matriarch of our family. What we learned from her throughout our lives will now help us to somehow carry on without her. A memorial service for family and friends will be held at Simple Alternatives, 1057 Brock Rd, Picker- ing, at 2:00 pm on Wednesday July 28th. In lieu of ﬂ owers, Joyce had humbly requested that a donation be made to the Salvation Ar- my.
