Vendors at Esplanade Park in Pickering were selling everything from food to tra- ditional jewelry and belly dance cloth- ing to henna tattoos. Many visitors came out, optimistic about the day despite the overcast sky. The event was put on by the Indo-Canadian Cultural Association of Durham Inc., a not-for-profit, non-par- tisan organization that represents India’s diaspora. Members include Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Zoroastrians. “Our voice is loud and clear as we strive to represent the best values of Indian and Canadian people,” said Shashi Bha- tia, ICCAD founding member and chair- woman, as she greeted the crowd of more than 100 at the park. The festival is in its fifth year in Dur- ham. This year, it celebrated the 63rd anniversary of India’s independence.

Westney Road, Just South of the 401 NEWS 2 Nuke report flawed CANDU group refutes green energy claims FEATURE 12 It’s costly Steep tab to keep kids in hockey SPORTS 18 Speedy duo Silver, bronze for Best, Cyrus durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 20102 P ENERGY Need exists for more reactors to be built in Durham Region, says nuclear proponent Many holes in Renewable Is Doable report, says Neil Alexander JENNIFER STONE jstone@durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- A recently released report which suggests the energy neces- sary to replace two nuclear generators at Pickering when they go offline in a decade could be produced through green technology is flawed, says the head of the Organization of CANDU Industries. And regardless of whether green technol- ogy could eventually replace the power pro- duced by those reactors when they shut down, Ontario has been clear, said Energy Minister Brad Duguid: “Our intention is to continue to maintain nuclear as (providing) half of our power capacity.” A coalition of groups, including Green- peace, the Pembina Institute and the Cana- dian Environmental Law Association, recent- ly released a report entitled Renewable is Doable, indicating Ontario should not replace nuclear plants which reach end-of-life with more reactors. Instead, the report said, a mix of green energy technologies and conserva- tion could provide the necessary power and would be 12- to 48-per cent cheaper than replacing the reactors slated to go offline at the Pickering station. “Ontario cannot afford to stay on the nucle- ar path,” the report said. But, the very “cornerstone” of the report -- a $26-billion estimate to build two new reactors, which the Province has proposed for the site abutting the existing Darlington nuclear station -- is inaccurate, says Dr. Neil Alexander, who heads up the Organization of CANDU Industries, a group lobbying to ensure that when new reactors are built, they are Canadian-designed CANDU reactors. The $26 billion reported estimate was “comprehensively denied by Infrastructure Ontario” as being the amount bid to build the reactors, Dr. Alexander said. Last summer, after the Province had put the temporary brakes on the project, indicating the only compliant bid, from Atomic Energy Of Canada Limited, was far too high, media reports bandied about the $26-billion figure. Those reports prompted a terse response from Infrastructure Ontario, albeit one that didn’t name an alternate figure. “The information on pricing in recent media stories is inaccurate and does not reflect the evaluation and or analysis of the bids performed by Infrastructure Ontario,” the statement said. But media reports issued after the state- ment indicated an Infrastructure Ontario spokesperson would not say how close or far off the estimate was. The Renewable is Doable report indicates an array of renewable sources, including wind, solar, hydro and biogas could be used to provide power at a cost of about 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour. The report says based on the $26-billion estimate, nuclear power would be closer to 20 cents per kilowatt hour. But, Dr. Alexander said those numbers don’t jibe. He points to solar, which he said is “very clearly very, very expensive.” The report also fails to account for what to do to provide baseload power when variable renewables such as wind aren’t working, Dr. Alexander said. “If we have a hot muggy day, which is the day we use the most electricity, none of the windmills are working,” he said, pointing to figures indicating that on such a day, only one in 10 windmills would be producing power. There would therefore need to be a back-up plan, with some source of generation that could be quickly ramped up when wind can’t provide power, he noted. The cost of the back- up plan, then, would have to be considered in the final price of the power produced. “If you want green technology, you have to invest in another enabling technology to sup- port it,” Dr. Alexander said. But at the same time, it’s not a matter of building new nuclear at the expense of green technology, he said. “There is a place in our grid for all of these technologies,” Dr. Alexander said. METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- A group of environmental organizations is calling on the provincial gov- ernment to boost its renewable energy targets and to avoid new nuclear reactors in Ontario to replace the aging Pickering station. FAST FACTS Still no news on new reactors for Darlington BOWMANVILLE -- The Province continues to “actively and aggressively” lean on the federal government to get to a point where a deal can be made to build new reactors at Darlington, says Energy Minister Brad Duguid. Three bids came forward to design and build the proposed new units last summer, and of the three only one, from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, was deemed compliant -- but, the Prov- ince said, it was far too high in price. Since then, Ontario Power Generation has continued the environmental assessment neces- sary before the project can go ahead, but there’s been little movement in terms of the Province and AECL making a deal for the new reactors. “We will continue to champion AECL ... to provide us with the product we are looking for,” Mr. Duguid said. But, “we need the federal gov- ernment to be as enthusiastic.” A line in the June budget grants the federal government permission to sell “or otherwise dis- pose of some or all of the securities” of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited -- the federal Crown corporation with which the Province had been negotiating to design and build the new reactors proposed for Darlington. It waives the require- ment for the usual regulations and tests normally associated with the sale of the Crown corpora- tion. So far, there’s no news on when or how that sale will take place. Time could begin to be an issue if progress isn’t made to start work on the two proposed new reactors at Darlington: two reactors at Pickering are undergoing upgrades, but even at that, they will reach the end of their life in 2020. Ontario Power Generation will also move forward with extensive refurbishment at Darlington, meaning its four reactors will, on a staggered schedule, each come offline at some point. “Timing is something that is always critical and must always be taken under consideration,” Mr. Duguid said. “The clock is ticking.” CONTINUING EDUCATION Skilled Trades www.durhamcollege.ca/coned | 905.721.3332 Thinking of a new career? • Cabinet Making • Carpentry • CNC Machining Centre/Turning Centre • Engine Repair • Welding • Industrial Maintenance Mechanic Call us today or check our website for all your options.

Mr. Arthurs, the former mayor of Pickering and an MPP since 2003, was sidelined in the Aug. 18 cabinet shuffle. Six ministers were given new respon- sibilities and two MPPs became first-time members. Mr. Arthurs accepts Premier Dalton McGuinty’s decision. “I think that many of the caucus members would be honoured to be a member of cabinet,” he said in an interview. “I know how difficult it is with all the considerations the Premier has to make when considering the cabi- net.” He feels he is able to make a large contribution behind the scenes in his current roles. The seasoned politician currently serves as the parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Finance, and is also commissioner of the Board of Internal Economy and a member of the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. After serving residents in the Pickering-Scarborough East riding since leaving municipal politics in 2003, he’s still considering whether he’ll run again in the next provincial election. “That’s still a question pending,” he said, adding he’ll decide one way or another in the near future. DURHAM -- The first positive test this summer for West Nile virus has been confirmed in Durham Region. Adult mosquitoes collected on Aug. 17 at a Regional health department permanent mosquito trap in Ajax tested positive. Confirmation of the positive test was received on Aug. 19. “Provincial surveillance indicates that West Nile virus (WNV) activity has been detected in various Ontar- io communities, including Toronto and Peel Region,” Laura Freeland, manager of environmental health with Durham Region Health Department, says in a press release. “With positive mosquito results confirmed locally, it’s important for area residents to take precau- tions to avoid mosquito bites.” WNV is spread from mosquitoes to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. The disease isn’t passed from person to per- son or from bird to person. To reduce the risk of mosquito bites and the possibil- ity of being infected with WNV, the health department recommends the following precautions: • Wear shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing, includ- ing long-sleeved tops and full-length pants, when out- side especially during evening, nighttime or dawn when mosquitoes are most active. • Use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin, following Health Canada’s safety tips on using personal insect repellents. More information on using insect repellents containing DEET can be found in Health Canada’s pamphlet “Safety Tips on Using Per- sonal Insect Repellent” at www.pmra-arla.gc.ca/eng- lish/consum/insectrepellents-e.html.

THE RETIREMENT OPTION OF CHOICE Police investigating online loan con DURHAM -- Durham Regional Police Ser- vices are investigating an online loan scam after a Clarington woman recently lost almost $6,000. The victim visited a website advertised in a newspaper, offering loans for people with credit problems. The Clarington resident completed an online loan application by pro- viding personal information. “When you go to the website it looks very professional,” said Dave Selby, spokesman for the DRPS. “There’s hundreds of these very professional advance loan scam websites.” After being advised she was approved for a $50,000 loan, she was instructed to wire money to the company for insurance pur- poses. A short time later, she was instructed to forward more money through Western Union for additional administration fees. After forwarding a total of $5,700, she made numerous unsuccessful attempts at contact- ing the company before calling police. On Aug. 11, police began an investigation into the reported financial scam. Police are reminding citizens that any legiti- mate financial lending institution will not ask for large sums of money up front to cover the cost of loans. “Right away, that’s a big alarm bell. If you’re securing a loan, you shouldn’t need any big amount up front,” said Mr. Selby. This type of fraud is referred to as an ‘Advance Fee Loan Fraud’. It’s an online ver- sion of the ‘Loan Telemarketers’ scam pro- filed on the DRPS website (www.drps.ca) under Public Safety.

Police say they made the arrest after com- plaints from the public. They’ve identified 12 victims and approximately $30,000 in deposits. Police say the accused was a self- employed contractor operating as Lake- side Plumbing and Bathroom. The first complaint was filed in the fall of 2009 when an Ajax homeowner alleged- ly provided an $1,800 deposit for laundry room improvements that were never com- pleted. Police allege a tile supplier is also owed money and other Durham Region resi- dents were victimized ear- lier this year when they made deposits for bath- room and other house- hold renovations that were never begun or finished. Tod Harvey, 43, of Ajax, is charged with eight counts of fraud under $5,000 and one count each of uttering a false document, laundering in proceeds of crime and theft under $5,000. He was released after promising to appear in court. If you have information about the investigation: CALL 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1845 (Det. Const.

After all, it’s not being picked up at our homes. Carpet used to be picked up and was quietly removed from the list of what was “acceptable” although a neighbour was, rather hypocritically, told to put it in black bags and it would get picked up. Sod and grass clippings are compostable and used to be collected and now they are not. Recycle, we are told, or we’ll start a pro- gram of expensive clear bags (probably not biodegradable) and “garbage police” will inspect your garbage. The simple fact is that a good half of the waste sent to landfills is recyclable ... just not in Durham. Cleaning up is costing us money? So does garbage collection that should take all this stuff. Our tax bills keep going up to fund frills and pay ever-increasing salaries, but basic services such as garbage collection steadily deteriorate. Fix the real problem. Fix the garbage sys- tem. Cut politicians’ salaries, if necessary, to pay for it. After all, they just gave themselves yet another raise that the rest of us didn’t get, if we kept our jobs at all. David Bergson Ajax *** To the editor: Re: Letter, ‘Bring back weekly garbage col- lection’, Aug. 18, newsdurhamregion.com. When people reduce, reuse, recycle and compost properly, there should be no need to put “... household garbage bags reeking of decaying food,” in park garbage cans, nor should there be “... maggot-infested garbage,” in their garages. Food waste belongs in the compost con- tainer, which is picked up once a week. These containers have a tight lid so that no flies can get in and the smell stays in the containers. If people have household waste such as building materials, comput- er parts/monitors, etc., they can easily take these items to the local transfer station for a minimal fee. There is absolutely no reason why the already overburdened taxpayer should have to shoulder the extra cost of an addi- tional garbage pickup when it is not neces- sary, especially if people do their civic duty and reduce, reuse, recycle and compost properly. Renate Roy Ajax *** To the editor: Re: Letter, ‘Bring back weekly garbage col- lection’, Aug. 18, newsdurhamregion.com Mr. Smith misses the point entirely. There is weekly pickup of his maggot-infested garbage. It is called the green bin. Use it. You should be able to leave out your bi- weekly garbage the day before, no animals or reeking involved. The blue box is also weekly. A family should not have more than four garbage bags generated every two weeks and no use of public garbage bins should be required. This is becoming very tiring, going over it again and again. Karen MacLean Ajax TRAVEL INSURANCE Hard to feel sorry for snowbirds the way things are going To the editor: I am writing in regards to the snowbirds story (newsdurhamregion.com) and how they won’t be able to go to Florida much longer because of health care insurance costs. Excuse me if I don’t shed a tear for you. People are losing their jobs and homes, drugs are being taken away from breast cancer patients, a lot of children are not able to even have three square meals a day and you expect OHIP to pick up your health coverage while you are in another country? Please. Consider yourself lucky to have had the 20-plus years you did away from the winter months in Canada. I guess if you can’t afford the health insurance, you’ll be like the majority of us and shovel snow. Ken Green Bowmanville The annual surveillance campaign by Durham Region health officials have con- firmed the presence of West Nile virus among mosquitoes collected for testing. There is no imminent cause for concern among Durham residents, but the positive WNV result provides a timely reminder for everyone to ensure they are taking pre- cautions to minimize the chances of being exposed to the virus. Thousands of confirmed human cases of WNV infection have been reported in Can- ada since 2002, the vast majority of which resulted in a relatively mild illness. How- ever, a small percentage of WNV infections have been fatal; 42 Canadians have died as a result of contracting the virus. In that context, because WNV infection can manifest itself differently in each indi- vidual, simple personal precautions are vitally important. So, too, is it important for residents across the region to ensure that mosquito breeding areas around their homes are eliminated. To that end, take a walk around your gar- dens and yards this week and clear out any areas where standing water can col- lect and provide habitat for mosquito lar- vae. Check eavestroughs, empty bird baths once a week, and ensure that window and door screens are in a good state of repair. Adults can reduce the risk of exposure by avoiding the outdoors when mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. If you are venturing out, wear shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing, including long- sleeved tops and full-length pants. Adults are also encouraged to use a certified insect repellent with DEET on exposed skin. By taking these relatively simple steps, Durham Region residents can reduce the incidence of human WNV infection for themselves, their families and their neigh- bourhoods. One pool of mosquitoes collected in Ajax has provided Durham health offi- cials with the first positive test of the sum- mer, but monitoring continues and others could turn up. Take a moment this week -- whether you live in Pickering, Orono or any of the region’s communities in between -- to conduct your own surveil- lance program. By getting rid of breed- ing sites one a time, we can collectively reduce the chances that you, or someone you know and love, could be exposed to WNV. Again, there is no imminent cause for concern, no percolating pandemic sur- rounding WNV. But it is an issue that requires vigilance and common sense to reduce the opportunity for exposure to the virus. Pay heed, take steps to minimize West Nile virus in Durham 7 P What’s the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?

And of course, the more I obsess and fret about the boobs in my life, the more of them tend to keep show- ing up in it. Top of the list are loud people. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if I lived in the city. One of the perks of urban life is that the generally higher level of ambient noise tends to mask or at least mildly mute the stupids who don’t seem to have a volume knob in their heads. But the pastoral peace of village life tends to act as a megaphone for any twit who wants to race around town showing off his new four-barrel, overhead cam genitals or who thinks the rest of us want to hear his complete CD collection. The other one that seems to crop up fair- ly regularly is the drunken male teenager. At least once or twice a month, depending on how many adolescent girls are throw- ing parties or how many parents are away, I am awakened, or more probably prevent- ed from getting to sleep by the testoster- one and Wild Turkey-fuelled bellowing of some inebriated Stanley Kowalski thump- ing his chest and whizzing with abandon against the chromed rims of his pickup truck. Again, this stuff is irritating at any time, but when the Humidex makes me feel like Martin Sheen lying atop a sweat-soaked sheet in some Saigon dive, I can go from zero to pissed in a panting heartbeat. We have a new puppy in our household these days. And that means, at least for the first cou- ple of weeks, a lot of broken sleep while we scoot a whining pooch out of her crate and outside in the wee hours to do her busi- ness where she’s supposed to. That’s okay. That’s what you sign up for when you bring a pup into your family. It’s exhaust- ing but it pays off. What I didn’t sign up for was being jarred out of precious sleep, the other night, by what sounded like a gunshot followed by a stream of expletives that would’ve made Bobby Clarke blush. Heart pounding, I rushed to the window in time to see the final act of some quality teenage drama. Some lovelorn jughead, in a fit of pique, had flown out of a house down the street, slammed the door hard enough to remove it from its hinges and proceeded to cuss out the female responsible for his woe at the top of his lungs. I don’t know if there was an adult in that house at the time. Certainly none made their presence known. I do know that if anyone, male or female, pulled that kind of stunt on my property, I’d kick their ass so hard their nose would bleed. And they’d not be invit- ed back until they’d apologized to me and every other family within hearing dis- tance, which, in this case, was basically the town. I’m not against noise in general. I love the sound of laughter, I love music. I even love a good argument. But I also love cour- tesy and grace. And those are not just the names of a couple of pole dancers I once dated. They are building blocks of society and cornerstones of civility.

Your editorial endorsing “inexpensive” nuclear is pure fantasy. Only a year ago, the Province backed away from building new nuclear plants because they are stun- ningly expensive. Does any one imagine those costs went down in the past year? Nuclear always gets more expensive not to mention a solid history of enormous cost overruns. And then there is the end- less breakdowns and repairs, re-tubing, retrofitting at Pickering and Darlington, amounting to billions in extra costs we have had to pay. Did you forget about the sad history of nuclear in Ontario? Meanwhile, the cost of generating energy from solar and wind goes down and down, year after year. Stephen Leahy Uxbridge Editorial ignores research into renewable energy To the editor: Re: Wind, solar don’t have the power to meet Durham energy demands, editorial, Aug. 18, newsdurhamregion.com. Your editorial fails to provide a substan- tive argument to support its conclusion. You brush aside solid research on how to meet Ontario’s electricity needs in the future without offering evidence or data simply because it comes from environ- mental organizations. You then proceed to make assertions about the cost of nuclear electricity that have not proven to be true in Ontario. The costs are so extremely high the pro-nucle- ar Ontario government backed away from building a new plant. The refurbishment of the Point Lepreau plant is two years behind schedule and $1 billion over budget. There is no technical or economic reason why we cannot meet our electricity needs with renewable sources. If you dispute this statement then put some facts on the table the way environ- mental groups have done.

P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201010 AP MAKE A DIFFERENCE Young Pickering woman politically tuned in Editor’s Note: As part of our ongoing Make a Difference series, our reporters spoke to young people and asked what inspires them to get involved in the political process and why it’s important to them. This is the second in a series of feature stories looking into those issues. RYAN JOSEPH rjoseph@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- She is the president of the Ajax/Pickering Young Liberals and has a pas- sion for politics. Caitlin Sabean, 20, of Pickering, has been involved with the Young Liberals for two years and was named president in December 2009. The group participates in events with the Ajax/Pickering Liberal riding, such as the Christmas parades. “We do a lot of things with the riding. Whenever they need help, we are there,” Ms. Sabean said. Along with participating in Liberal riding events, the Young Liberals have their own parliaments where they write policies for each level of government, municipal, provin- cial and federal. “The point of these policy parliaments is to try and get a policy through all levels of gov- ernment,” Ms. Sabean said. The Young Liberals elect its members at an annual general meeting. During her time with the Young Liberals, Ms. Sabean found some issues she thought she would never run into. One of the main issues is parents weren’t letting their kids get involved in politics, she says. “I am having a lot of problems with getting parents to trust me or let their child come out to my meeting and events,” said Ms. Sabean. She added some youths might not be inter- ested in politics because they haven’t been introduced to it, they are embarrassed to dis- cuss certain issues or they don’t think that their opinion matters. “When I was 12 years old, Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland asked me about my view on politics. I couldn’t believe he would ask me that. It was then that I realized that my ideas are important,” Ms. Sabean said. She’s involved “mainly to get my voice heard. Mark Holland always pushes to have voices heard,” she said. To change the community, “I want a hand in doing so,” she noted. When it comes to voting, Ms. Sabean says a lot of youth don’t understand how important it is. “If young adults come out and vote, we can see a radical change at the polls,” she added. The main objective for the club is to get more youths involved in politics. “If there are things such as scholarships that they could get or something more than getting 40 volunteer hours for school, maybe parents may find a way to let their kids come out and support us,” said Ms. Sabean. In her experience working with the Young Liberals, Ms. Sabean learned how to work well in a group and gained a stronger under- standing of politics. ”I definitely want to stick around with this group and I would like to see it grow,” she said. The group is for youths ages 13 to 24 in the Ajax-Pickering riding. For more information about the Young Liberals, call Ms. Sabean at 905-831-3811 or e-mail csmsabean@live. com. Outside of working with the Young Liberals, Ms. Sabean volunteers with the Durham West Arts Centre in Pickering, of which her father is the current president. She started volun- teering because her parents were involved. “My dad has been the president and chair of so many organizations, I can’t count them on my two hands,” she said. Ms. Sabean is a student at Ryerson Univer- sity, studying journalism. She’s going to Mon- golia from Aug. 16 to Sept. 16 for her intern- ship in radio or television. “I am hoping for radio,” she said. -- with files from Keith Gilligan CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND PICKERING -- Young Liberals president Caitlin Sabean, left, a volunteer with the MS carnation campaign, listened to Diane Foster at Pickering’s Canadian Tire store during a recent campaign to raise funds for multiple sclerosis. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201011 P After a drum-led procession through the park with participants, guests and political leaders, speeches and entertainment started from the Esplanade gaze- bo. There were greetings from Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and traditional Indian and Chinese dances. Mehak Abdullah’s henna tattoo booth was adjacent to the stage. With steady hands, she drew patterns onto the palms of two young girls. While the tempo- rary designs are usually inked on brides in the Indian culture, Ms. Abdullah said she recently had a bride who was not Indian wear the traditional symbols on her big day. “She loved them,” said Ms. Abdullah. “She was so happy. I’ve never seen a bride so happy.” For those who wanted to eat while they were enter- tained, there were food booths featuring traditional Indian food. Zeera By the Bay, a Pickering Restaurant, sold corn on cob, salad and one of its biggest sellers at most fes- tivals, butter chicken. Bhupinder Kala, whose husband owns Zeera By the Bay, said this was only one of the multicultural festi- vals the restaurant set up shop at this summer. “We’ve done a couple like this,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun and good exposure.” Besides making some money selling the food, Ms. Kala said she thought it was important to share the cultural dishes at festivals so more people would try it. “I think it’s not only important for personal rea- sons, because you are running a business, but it’s also important because it’s how multicultural people suc- ceed (by showing their culture) in Western places.” And people were definitely embracing the tradition- al dishes. “We’re not Indian, we are from the West Indies and we wanted to see what another culture’s food was like,” said Ameena Rahaman. Curries, which are traditional dishes in both places, use different spices but both taste great, she said. “It’s delicious,” her daughter Rehana said after fin- ishing her first-ever plate of butter chicken. Sanya and Dan Cordoza brought their young daugh- ters to the festival even though the threat of rain loomed. The family, including five-year-old Niya and two-year-old Kayla, was enjoying butter chicken and spiced corn on the cob while the show was playing in the background. “We brought the kids because we wanted to expose them to different cultures,” Ms. Cordoza said. -- with files from Kristen Calis HERITAGE India’s independence celebrated in Pickering INDIA’S from page 1 SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Binara’s Entertainment (above) performed a Funky Folk Bollywood-style dance on the stage at the 63rd Anniversary of Independence festival at Esplanade Park on Aug. 21.

Sandy Newton responded to our request and her fam- ily certainly fits the bill. Here is her story. WHITBY -- As a hockey parent, do you find it tough to caddy a kid or two back and forth between games and practices over the course of a season? Try it with five kids. That’s the life Tracey Whall and his wife Sandy Newton, of Whitby, lead each winter. And they love it. Well, to a point. “The reason I had children was to enjoy them and while the running around is a bit of a pain sometimes, to me it’s all worth it when I listen to the excited run- down of the games on the way home in the car,” said Newton in a recent interview. But just because there is a level of enjoyment for her and the family, it doesn’t mean things are easy. And it’s a fact facing most families across the region who have multiple children involved in sport at any level. Time is tight and budgets can be even tighter. Take Whall and Newton’s situation for example. Five of their six kids still live at home, a quiet neighbourhood in south Whitby just minutes from Iroquois Park. They range in age from eight to 14 and all five play minor hockey. One, 10-year-old Candace, will be heading into her first season of rep hockey this year out of Durham West and is a goalie, while her sis- ters, Cara, eight, and Casandra, 14, play house league out of the same centre. The two boys, Colin, 13, and Curtis, 11, play house league for Whitby minor. Colin, like Candace, is a goaltender. It’s not hard to imagine the equipment costs involved in all of that. But while those seem to have gotten more reasonable over the years in terms of prices declining on items such as goalie pads, hel- mets and skates, travel costs and registration fees, among other things, have gone in the other direction. For Whall and Newton, right off the top, sign- ing their five children up for hockey this sea- son dented the pocketbook to the tune of near- ly $5,000 -- granted, some $2,500 of that comes from daughter Candace’s rep fees. All that before the first puck of the season is dropped. For many in that situation, much difficul- ty can be found in trying to make ends meet. Count Whall among them. “My husband has to work a lot of overtime to pay for all this and I am usually the one who gets everyone where they need to go,” said Newton, a stay-at-home mother, who, in addi- tion to ushering her kids all across the region, helped coach Candace’s and Cara’s teams last year, while playing ringette herself in Pickering. On the issue of registration fees, which continue to rise in most hockey centres across Durham Region, Whitby Minor Hock- ey Association president Fred Sidaros, in part, blamed the newly implemented HST. And after spending many hours lobbying the Town of Whitby to put a freeze on its fees for ice rentals this season, Sidaros is miffed families con- tinue to be charged taxes like the HST on programs that the government encourages families to get involved in. “(The HST) has been the highest contributor to our operat- ing expenses which has caused our registrations fees to sharp- ly increase this season to cover the extra tax on our purchases, our ice fees themselves, and on the use of services to run this volunteer organization,” Sidaros stated in an e-mail to the News Advertiser. “To me, the HST being applied against minor sports organizations who are mainly providing fitness pro- grams for kids under 14 years of age is criminal. Clearly our provincial elected leaders just don’t get it. “The government promotes fitness and spends millions to try to get kids active and, on the other hand, it taxes programs which answer this same mission. This makes it more difficult for families with multiple kids to enroll them in our programs.” Whitby is doing what it can in some instances to assist fam- ilies who find the costs of the sport prohibitive. Next week, it’s hosting its second annual equipment dona- tion and swap in the parking lot of McKinney Arena as a way to provide a cost-effective way for families to improve the quality of their children’s equipment. More information on the donation/swap can be found at www. whitbyhockey.com. In terms of registration in Whitby, it offers families registering three players or more a $50 discount on the third registration fee of $475. And while that is hardly a significant discount, for families such as Sandy Newton and Terry Whall’s, every little bit helps. Pickering offers a modest discount with $25 knocked off each additional registration after the first one is processed. The initial regis- tration fee is $535. The N.A.S.C program in Oshawa has registration and season fees post- ed on their website as low as $450 for juvenile and as high as $670 in bantam. They also offer $25 discounts for extra registrations. Surprisingly, hockey is not the number one sport in Canada based purely on the number of participants. Following are rel- evant data gathered by Statistics Canada (2005): 1.5 million Canadians played golf versus 1.3 million participating in hockey. 500,000-800,000 Swimming, soccer, basketball, baseball and volleyball drew between 500,000 and 800,000. 43% 43 per cent of children from households earning less than $40,000 were active in sports, versus 63 per cent of those from households with earnings of $80,000 or more. 57% In 1992, 57 per cent of children in both genders participated in sport, versus 51 per cent in 2005. This is how far $5,000 goes: Cumulatively, it will cost the Whall and Newton families in Durham Region a combined $5,000 to register all of their children in hockey programs for the upcom- ing season. Here’s how far the money would go: 33 33 weeks of groceries for a family of four (average of $150/week). 333 333 haircuts at Top Cuts (taxes not included). 33.33 * 33.33 CCM Nitro 26-inch Mountain bikes from Cana- dian Tire at $149.99 (taxes not included). 2 years Two years of tuition at Durham College for its General Arts course (not including supplies, course fees). 18 months Nearly 18 months of clothing pur- chases for a family of four (based on monthly expen- diture of $285). Good sports: the numbers RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND WHITBY -- With all five of her kids playing various levels of hock- ey, Sandy Newton has a lot of gear to lug around. Illustrating this were, front from left, Candace Whall, 10, and Cara Whall, 8, and, back from left, Colin Whall, 13, Curtis Whall, 11, and Cassandra Whall, 14.

The lounge will be open noon to 8 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 6 p.m. on weekends until Sept. 5. “Teens and tweens understand style and are always in the know when it comes to what’s new and what’s hot,” said Lorna Murphy, PTC’s marketing direc- tor. “We wanted to create a space where they can chill out, be themselves, and tell us what they want to wear this season.” PTC’s Style Crew will help visitors perfect their looks with styling and advice, and hair and makeup tips. Canada’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 contestant Gina Guimont visits the lounge Thursday, Aug. 26 from 1 to 3 p.m. to sign autographs, pose for photos, participate in a Q and A and share fashion tips. PTC is also holding a casting call for teen and tween fashionistas.

It’s important for adults to know how to swim, Ms. Cole- man said. She added parents simply relying on their chil- dren’s ability isn’t enough. “I think a lot of adults just assume that because their kids can swim they don’t need adult swimming knowledge,” she said. She added even knowing the basic skills and hav- ing confidence in the water can make a big difference. “They have to be able to take an active role in supervis- ing,” she said. The cost for Pickering’s swimming lessons depend on the class. There is a program where all of the Grade 3 stu- dents get free swimming lessons for three weeks, which Ms. Coleman arranges through the schools. Information on the City’s swimming programs can be found on the recreation section of the City’s website or by calling.

Wesley Best of Ajax came up with a silver-medal-winning per- formance in the 200m, while Keith Cyrus Jr. of Pickering won bronze in the 110m hurdles. Both athletes reached the podium in the U18 division. “I’m delighted to have the oppor- tunity to work with talented athletes like Keith and Wesley,” said Tony Sharpe, head coach at the Speed Academy. “Both boys are gifted athletes and serve as role models to the younger athletes in the club.” Best, who played soccer when he was younger but turned to track last September, was just hoping to get to the medal podium at the nation- al championships. At just 16 years of age, he was one of the youngest competitors to get into the starting blocks, with most of the runners a year older. “Just to get on the podium would have been nice,” he said of the goal going into the competition. “I know a lot of the guys were older and already got to go once last year and had more experience. So it was just great to at least get silver.” As a member of the J. Clarke Rich- ardson Collegiate track team, an injury prevented Best from com- peting in Grade 9, but in Grade 10 he made up for it, winning silver in both the 100m and 200m at OFSAA against the best in Ontario. “Wesley is a coach’s dream,” praised Sharpe. “He comes to every training session prepared to work. His year-over-year improvement is evidence of that hard work. Wes- ley reached the podium at every major competition this summer, including two bronze medals at the Ontario Junior Championships, racing against boys that are three years older. He knows how to com- pete. Now he has to learn how to win.” Best acknowledges that the men- tal side of competing is something he needs to work on. “I am just going to have to get that mentality to fight for it next year,” he said of going for gold at nationals. Cyrus Jr. has made huge strides in a very short time, shifting his focus to training full time for track just three months ago. Previously, foot- ball was at the top of the list and he suited up for St. Mary Catholic Secondary School and the Ajax- Pickering Dolphins club program. In grades nine and 10 he won OFSAA in the 110m hurdles, prov- ing he was the best in the province at the high school level. But this past year the results weren’t there and he realized he needed to dedi- cate himself to get to the next level. “I finally realized that I definitely needed more training if I want to go somewhere,” he said. “I can’t rely on just natural talent anymore. I have to work harder. “I really wanted to win nationals, but I didn’t have that great of a race. I was all over the place. But I was expecting to medal at least.” Sharpe expects that Cyrus Jr. will soon reap the benefits of his dedi- cation to track. “Keith won OFSAA in his midget and junior year but struggled last year as a first year senior. This is typical of multi-sport athletes when it comes to competing at the senior level in high school track,” said the coach. “Keith needs to spend more time getting into track-shape. Football fitness is not the same as track fit- ness and I think Keith now realizes that. He has the potential to earn an athletic scholarship with a bit of hard work next season.” Listing the University of Miami, USC and Oregon as schools he would like to run for on a scholar- ship, he looked back on his perfor- mance at nationals with a high level of satisfaction. “I was definitely happy because I have had only about three months of training, so to be able to accom- plish third in Canada is pretty big,” he said. “Even though I wanted to win, I was pretty excited about what I accomplished.” Cyrus Jr. hopes that being a dou- ble-sport athlete in his senior year at St. Mary, playing football and running track, it will impress recruiters enough to offer an ath- letic scholarship to a U.S. school.

BADMINTON Three gold medals for Yakura at Jr. Pan Ams PICKERING -- Nyl Yakura seems to have rebounded from a trou- blesome ankle injury just fine, winning three gold medals at the Jr. Pan Am badminton champion- ships in Santo Domingo, Domini- can Republic. While injuries kept him out of competing at the Youth Olym- pic Games, the Dunbarton High School student made up for it at Pan Ams. The event attracted 363 players from 16 countries in the U11, U13, U15, U17 and U19 age divisions. Competing in the U19 age cate- gory for the first time, Yakura was entered in singles, doubles (with Henry Wiebe of Alberta) and mixed doubles (with Adrianna Giuffre of Alberta). Yakura did not have any trouble in singles until the finals, where he played Luiz Ed Dos Santos Jr. of Brazil, who had tremendous net play and a devastating smash. After losing the first game 21-18, Yakura fought back and won the championship 21-18 and 21-11. In boys doubles, Yakura and Wiebe were a strong pair and dominated the U19 division with- out losing any games. In the final they faced another Canadian pair, Andrew Wilkinson and Neil Tai Pow of Toronto, without difficul- ties, winning the championship 21-8 and 21-18. In the semifinals the duo defeated the Dominican Republic’s hope of Willian Cabre- ra Jose/Wilton Tabares 21-2, 21- 13. In mixed doubles, Yakura and Giuffre were not seeded and went through some tough matches to reach the finals. After defeating another Canadian pair, Andrew Wilkinson/Vanora Lo in the semifinals 21-13 and 21-19, they advanced to the final against a tough pair from Canada, Michael Diamond/Surabhi Kadam, who are the Junior National Champi- ons and defeated the No. 1 seeds from the US in the semifinal. After losing the opening game due to some unforced errors 21-19, Yakura and Giuffre managed to win the second and third games by identical 21-16 scores to win gold, completing the triple crown of first place finishes for Yakura. Overall, the Canadian team won seven golds, six silvers and nine bronze medals. The next big event for Yakura will be representing Ontario at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax, Nova Scotia from Feb. 10-25. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 25, 201019 AP Visit: www.wagjag.com TO PURCHASE THESE DEALSBEFORE TIME RUNS OUT Deals of the Day!
