PICKERING -- Although the gardening season
is winding down, Pickering is having a beauti-
ful summer thanks to Pickering Blooms, says a
local gardener.
“I definitely think Pickering has upped it a
notch this year,” said Anne-Marie Pawelski, a
member of the Pickering Horticultural Soci-
ety.
Pickering Blooms is now in its second sea-
son and encourages residents, schools and
businesses to get involved in beautifying their
properties. The City also offers a number of free

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
UOIT student takes leadership to the next level
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 fourth
in a series of feature stories looking into those
issues.
RYAN JOSEPH AND MELISSA MANCINI
rjoseph@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Even though he just entered
his 20s, Anthony Boland is already a sea-
soned politician.
He was student council president in ele-
mentary school, a Catholic school board
student trustee and student council presi-
dent in high school and, now that he’s a
post-secondary student, is University of
Ontario Institute of Technology and Dur-
ham College’s student association presi-
dent.
Mr. Boland, 20, of Oshawa, was named
president of the Student Association for
the 2010-11 school year after spending a
year as vice president of campus life.
“I am very passionate about having stu-
dents get involved and raising school spir-
it on campus. I thought there would be no
better way than to run for a position on the
student association,” Mr. Boland said.
His political life started when he spent
time at Queen’s Park as a child, working
in the Province’s legislative page program.
The program gives Grades 7 and 8 students
a chance to serve the provincial govern-
ment for up to four weeks, acting as mes-
sengers for politicians, meeting officials
and learning how the government works.
Even at a young age, he was in awe of the
political process as he watched it.
“It opened my eyes to the ability to make
change and make a positive impact on
society,” he said. “The coolest thing is that
you get to witness decision-making in the
process.”
It was Mr. Boland’s mother who encour-
aged her son to get involved with the page
program, his first brush with the political
life. He said he counts her as his inspira-
tion for life and his political achievements.
He said she’s been a cheerleader and
support for him in all his endeavours.
Now, with his first year of Student Asso-
ciation presidency starting, his goal is
to improve on last year’s successes and
improve the association’s relationship with
the community.
“I would like to see the SA become a key
player in the community,” he said.
Mr. Boland says it’s very important for
students to vote in the school’s student
association and in political elections.
“Students need to realize that they aren’t
the leaders of tomorrow but they are the
leaders of today,” he said.
For the Oshawa municipal election on
Oct. 25, the association will invite each
candidate to campus to speak. It will also
have voting stations so students can vote
on campus.
Outside of working with the Durham Col-
lege Student Association, Mr. Boland is
working towards a degree in energy and
environment physics. Originally he want-
ed to be a teacher. Then, he said, he dis-
covered his passion for environment and
energy issues.
But he also doesn’t rule out a possible
political future. He said he is looking for a
career where there will be a positive atmo-
sphere with the chance to make a huge
impact.
“I am still young and trying to figure out
my future plans,” he said.

AJAX -- A Markham man is facing charges in rela-
tion to convenience store robberies in Ajax and
Pickering.
The man was arrested by Durham police near the
Scarborough Town Centre on Aug. 26 without inci-
dent.
Following the arrest, police searched a Markham
home and seized evidence they say relates to two
separate robbery investigations in Durham.
On May 1 at approximately 10 p.m., police say
two men stole cash and merchandise from a conve-
nience store on Bayly Street in Pickering.
The suspects fled before police arrived.
Then on Aug. 9 at roughly 2:30 p.m., police say
two men robbed a convenience store on Westney
Road in Ajax, stealing cash. Again, both suspects
fled before police arrived.
Matthew Dixon, 23, of Woodhall Road in
Markham, is charged with two counts each of rob-
bery with an offensive weapon, disguise with intent
and possession of weapons to commit an offence.
He’s also charged with possession for the purpose
of trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime
and failing to comply.
The accused was held for a bail hearing.

Lakeridge Health Oshawa
first to roll out new Aging
at Home programs
JENNIFER O’MEARA
jomeara@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The provincial Aging at Home
strategy is being expanded and local seniors
will be the first to benefit from an $18-million
investment in this part of Ontario.
“Lakeridge is very proud to be a part of this
and proud to be the first hospital to imple-
ment this,” said Kevin Empey, Lakeridge
Health CEO. “The context is that today far too
many elderly languish in our hospitals when
they would be more comfortable at home.
And as a result, everyone experiences emer-
gency back-ups because the hospitals are
full.”
At Lakeridge Health Oshawa on Aug. 31,
the Central East Local Health Integration
Network announced two new programs to
ensure seniors get the health care they need.
“Behind these walls, a new way of caring for
seniors in our LHIN is about to be launched,”
said Deborah Hammons, CEO of the Central
East LHIN.
One new $4.8-million program is called
GAIN, the Geriatric Assessment and Inter-
vention Network. This will establish senior
urgent/emergency clinics staffed by a high-
ly trained geriatric team and supported by
a geriatrician. Seniors will be referred to the
clinics for specialized intervention by emer-
gency or community doctors.
Patients who need more care will be admit-
ted to an inpatient unit specially designed
to care for sick seniors. Those who are well
enough will be connected to community sup-
port services and return home.
The first GAIN clinic will open at Lakeridge
Health Oshawa in October. By April 2011, the
Central East LHIN will open three other clin-
ics at the Peterborough Regional Health Cen-
tre, Rouge Valley Health System and the Scar-
borough Hospital. Smaller hospitals will be
linked in with these new clinics.
The second new program is Home First.
Currently, many seniors who are admitted to
hospital spend a long time there waiting for
a space in a local long-term care home. This
leaves many seniors feeling rushed to make
a decision on where to move. It also ties up
hospital beds that could be used for people
with acute illness.
With Home First, case managers from the
Central East Community Care Access Centre
will work with the hospital to support patients
with enhanced home care services. Seniors
will be able to live at home while deciding
what their next step is.
“A hospital bed is not the best place to be
waiting for long-term care, when you no lon-
ger require hospital care,” said Ajax-Pickering
MPP Joe Dickson. “This is giving patients and
families the time to make important, life-
changing decisions.”
The new $2-million program launches at
Lakeridge Health Oshawa next week and will
then roll out across all LHIN hospitals in the
coming months.
Central East CCAC case workers will be
alerted when one of their clients comes into
the emergency department. Seniors who are
admitted and can’t go home without extra
support will also be flagged in the system.

TORONTO -- A 25-year-old Pickering man
armed with a knife, shot to death by police
after fleeing from a TTC bus, may have been
struggling with emotional problems.
“I think sometimes the police are trained
more not to take the time to prevent things
like this from happening,” said family friend
Nicole Hemmings on Monday outside the
home of the mother of Reyal Jensen Jardine-
Douglas.
On Sunday, Mr. Jardine-Douglas was shot
by police after he fled from the Victoria Park
No. 24 bus when it was pulled over by police
north of Eglinton Ave. E., at around 3:10 p.m.
Police were responding to a report of an
incident on the bus.
Witnesses said police cruisers had blocked
in the bus and as officers boarded through
the front entrance, a suspect bolted through
the rear.
According to one witness, three shots were
fired in a confrontation. Mr. Jardine-Douglas
was pronounced dead at Sunnybrook hospi-
tal about an hour later.
A knife was recovered at the scene.
“He was a good person,” Ms. Hemmings
said as she arrived at the mother’s town-
house. “I’m sad that it happened, but it’s not a
big surprise.”
Neighbours on Pine Grove Avenue in
Pickering knew little about the family who
had lived in the townhouse complex for sev-
eral years.
“They’re nice people, but a lot of folks here
like their privacy and keep to themselves,”
said a resident who did not want to be identi-
fied.
Ms. Hemmings did not want to elabo-
rate about Mr. Jardine-Douglas’s emotional
issues.
Family members requested privacy from
reporters who staked out their front yard all
day Monday.
Mr. Jardine-Douglas’s father, Kenrick Doug-
las, who lives in Scarborough’s West Rouge
area, also asked for privacy. “I’m speaking to
my lawyer and I don’t have anything to say at
this time,” said the clearly distraught father.
Monica Hudon, spokeswoman for the
Province’s Special Investigations Unit, said a
Toronto police officer is being investigated in
the shooting. His name is not being released.
The officer’s lawyer, Joseph Markson, said
he could not discuss the matter as it is being
probed by the SIU, adding his client “stopped
a potentially lethal threat to the lives of pas-
sengers on the bus,” and he fired in self-
defence.
An autopsy on Mr. Jardine-Douglas was
scheduled for Tuesday.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
If it’s harder to dispose of
trash, people will continue
to dump illegally
To the editor:
Re: ‘Quit dumping your garbage in our
parks, pleads Town of Ajax’, Aug. 14.
I read with interest your article on
dumping in Ajax parks.
Has the Town ever considered that part
of the reason people do this is because of
bi-weekly garbage pickup?
Maybe others, like myself, don’t like to
have to keep stinky garbage around for
two weeks, especially in the heat of sum-
mer.
Don’t tell me that if you recycle you
shouldn’t have any odour to your garbage
because it still happens.
So I sympathize with those that may
dump their trash in nearby park trash
cans.
The harder the local municipalities
make it to dispose of trash in the name of
‘going green’, the more that illegal dump-
ing will occur.
Food for thought.
John Ward

People are simply not
recycling properly
To the editor:
Regarding household garbage dumped
in the parks.
I would like to make a comment about
the garbage pick-up once a week versus
every two weeks.
For the most part, people are just not
recycling properly and put way too much
out for the garbage.
If you use your green bin, which is
picked up once a week, and wash the milk
bags etc. before placing them in the gar-
bage, there should be very little odour or
maggots.
Put a little bleach in your garbage can.
Waste diversion is not an option; we all
must do our part.
Not recycling and dumping your gar-
bage elsewhere does not solve environ-
mental impact.

GUN CONTROL
Gun registry makes
paper criminals
of honest Canadians
To the editor:
Re: ‘Police officers support the long-gun
registry’, letter to the editor, newsdurhamre-
gion.com.
It is clear from Mr. Maynard’s letter that
his understanding of the gun registry is
nothing more than the same Liberal talk-
ing points of the last decade, recycled into
letter form.
The long-gun registry is nothing more
than a $2-billion incomplete, error-ridden
computer database.
The gun registry makes paper criminals
of honest and lawful Canadians. A hunter
can face more time in jail for a “registry”
error than someone found guilty of armed
robbery.
Talk about having priorities in the wrong
place.
The gun registry doesn’t help frontline
officers.
Police treat every call with the worst in
mind, regardless of the information con-
tained in the registry.
Not to mention the waste of valuable
police resources harassing legal firearm
owners for paper crimes.
Of course, Mr. Ignatieff and the Liberals
are now back peddling and promising to
“fix” the gun registry.
What will be the new cost for this sup-
posed fix?
Another billion dollars? Maybe another
$2 billion?
Taxpayers have neither the money nor
the patience for more empty promises on
this issue.
By continuing to support the costly, failed
registry, the Liberals prove they still don’t
understand that gun control is not crime
control.

Durham Region seniors can rest a little
easier today should they find themselves in
need of local medical services.
The provincial government has announced
millions of dollars in investments aimed
specifically at providing senior citizens with
alternative care in their homes. It’s part of
the Province’s Aging at Home initiative,
administered through the Central East Local
Health Integration Network (LHIN) and tai-
lor made to meet the medical needs of aging
Durham residents.
Here at home, that means the creation of
a Geriatric Assessment and Intervention
Network (GAIN) which will establish urgent
and emergent care for seniors at local clinics
in the Lakeridge Health Oshawa and Rouge
Valley Ajax hospital facilities. In the simplest
terms, the program will provide seniors with
expert geriatric assessments and link those
who are well enough with community sup-
port programs. For local seniors who might
require additional care but not the highly
specialized services in a hospital setting, the
GAIN program will see them return to the
place where they are most comfortable, at
home, while ensuring they receive care and
support services from the community.
One of the primary benefits of the GAIN
program is that it will allow seniors to heal
in the dignified setting of their own home,
while freeing up much-needed hospital
beds for other medical emergencies or acute
illness cases. Furthermore, the GAIN pro-
gram provides seniors with a greater mea-
sure of independence by averting an extend-
ed stay in an institutional setting, allowing
them the freedom to recover where they the
strongest community connections, where
they are close to loved ones.
For those seniors who have required a hos-
pital stay, the creation of the new Home First
program as part of this funding announce-
ment will also take a new approach to elder
care. Rather than have elderly patients lan-
guish in hospital awaiting for bed availabil-
ity, Home First will organize and provide
enhanced home-care services to allow a
return to the community.
This, too, will provide more dignity of care
and independence to seniors while reduc-
ing congestion in hospital wards.
As our population ages, we must take the
necessary steps to provide services and
options for seniors. These programs have
a dual benefit in both providing greater
options for seniors who require care, and
greater flexibility for local hospitals strug-
gling with stretched resources. Continued
innovation, collaboration and strong com-
munity support are needed to help ensure
that these programs take root in Durham
Region and help our seniors. Let’s all do our
part to support these programs.
Home is where the healing is for Durham Region seniors

WE ASKED...AT FRENCHMAN’S BAY
My oldest is heading off to college this
weekend.
Of course, his mother and I are experi-
encing all of the usual, clichéd emotions.
Wasn’t it just yesterday we were chang-
ing his diaper, teaching him to ride a bike,
sharing a beer?
OK, that was yesterday...and the day
before, actually...both he and his broth-
er...the little bastards are drinking me out
of house and home.
But still, it’s a little mind-blowing, this
college thing.
I will miss him enormously. He’s been
an irksome, pain-in-the-ass, wonderful
fixture in this house for the past 19 years.
I’ve sat beside him at breakfast, din-
ner and many lunches for almost two
decades.
I’ve picked up after him for years, waded,
cursing, through the reeking wake of laun-
dry and flotsam that trails him wherever
he goes.
I have rebuked him, cussed him, shaken
my head at him until I thought it would
fall off and daily thanked God for him.
Now, suddenly he will be gone. Anyway
you slice it, that’s a big hole.
Part of me is fretting, but another, larger
part of me is green with envy. He’s going
to have a ball...and he and I both know it. I
want him to have fun.
I want him to have the time of his life.
Largely because my university years were
so painfully unremarkable.
Not to put too fine a point on it; they
blew chunks.
Three years of riding the bus and subway
into and out of downtown Toronto, stay-
ing at home and largely fumbling around
for some kind of identity.
While my peers were busy partying until
dawn, making out like rabbits and burn-
ing any and all available candles down to
nubs at both ends...I was trying to figure
out life.
I don’t really regret it, of course, the path
we’re on is the path we choose, and there’s
always a reason for it.
I believe that with all my heart. It might
have been nice, however, if my path had a
tad more excitement on it.
I could count on one hand the number
of parties I went to and I am certain there
were Trappist monks who were getting
more female action than I was.
The only physical contact I had in those
years was on the university wrestling
team.
But again, as I say, I think I needed to go
through that time in just that way. I’m cer-
tain
I wouldn’t be enjoying life so much now
if I hadn’t. ‘The unexamined life’ after all,
as Socrates said, ‘is not worth living’. Still,
I’ll bet even Socrates went to the odd toga
party.
But my hope is that my son will be able
to avoid a lot of that angst. Not all of it, but
most of it.
A little angst, after all, is good for the
soul.
Plus, I did finally learn a couple of things
fumbling around in all of that spiritual
dark. One; girls smell way nicer than wres-
tlers and two; life is supposed to be fun.
And if we don’t worry about things too
much, it will be.
It may have taken three years of monas-
tic higher education to allow me to pass
that truth on down to my children, but it
was well worth the tuition.

BEHIND THE LENS
ORONO -- Bryan Bickell, local
hero and Stanley Cup winner
with the Chicago Blackhawks,
brought home the Cup for a
parade through the down-
town core of his hometown
community and to the local
arena in July. It was touch-
ing to see how emotionally
involved Bickell was when he
brought the Stanley Cup back
to Orono. Hundreds and hun-
dreds of people gathered to
share the moment with him.
We shot a handful of pictures
throughout the day, plenty of
them including Bryan’s face,
but I thought this one had
some nice elements to go with
the story.News Advertiser • September 1, 2010MIKE JOHNSTON
Is hyper local
a good thing?
Hyper local. We use that term around
the newsroom a lot, like “moving forward”.
I don’t like the term moving forward; it
sounds too sterile to me but hyper local,
I get why that term has become a catch
phrase in many newsrooms.
It’s what the media wants to be. We want
our readers to open their paper, or click
on our website, and see stories about their
small corner of the world, the good and the
bad.
But I don’t think all our decisions on
where to place stories in the paper should
be based solely on whether they are local
enough. Take Nadine McNalley, for exam-
ple. Uxbridge reporter Don Campbell
wrote about Ms. McNalley’s experience of
being fitted with a mechanical heart while
she waits for a heart transplant.
It was a touching story, and adding to
the drama was the fact her son had to put
off going to college so he could be with his
mom in case the mechanical heart stopped
working.
The moment I read this story I wanted
it to run in all our papers across Durham.
Some stories go beyond borders and this, I
believe, was one of them.
Where stories run in the paper, do they
make the front page and should they run in
different zones, are some of the decisions
we make before each paper is finished. If a
murder occurs in any of the municipalities
we cover, then that story tends to run in all
our papers because it is a very significant
event.
But, if the story is about the Orono Fair,
would residents of Pickering want to read
about it in their local paper? Likely not.
That’s one of the great things about our
website at durhamregion.com. With the
click of a mouse, you can read all the news
from across Durham, news that doesn’t
make its way into the paper.
But every once in a while, a story is writ-
ten which deserves more than just being
considered hyper local.

every second week about life in the newsroom

The City had participated, and done well,
in provincial competition, Communities in
Bloom, for the two seasons before that, but
“we wanted to just go in our own direction,”
said Rob Gagen, Pickering’s floor person of
parks and property.
The Pickering Horticultural Society plays a
large role in the city-wide program. It offers
a mentoring program for individuals who
choose to enter into the Garden Showcase,
which allows residents to register their gar-
dens and get help from well-informed volun-
teers, and Mr. Gagen said it’s been a success.
“We’ve had approximately 100 registrants
and participants in the garden showcase,” he
said. “Of that, 55 of them have registered for
the mentorship program.”
He feels Pickering Blooms provides bio-
diversity throughout the city, and basically
enhances what’s already there.
“It’s really helped beautify the city,” he said.
“I think most of it was already going on, but
by putting it on, Pickering Blooms promotes
what people are already doing in the city.”
More successful gardening projects have
included enhancing some of Pickering’s
gateways along Whites Road, thanks to the
Amberlea Gardeners, and another one done
by the Neighbours for Nature on Finch Ave-
nue and Maple Ridge Drive, Mr. Gagen said.
The planters along various bridges and
around City Hall are “self-watering” and just
require water being put into the reservoir at
the bottom. “Those have successfully low-
ered our maintenance costs,” he said.
The horticultural society also maintains
various gardens throughout the city. The
members’ handiwork can be seen at Espla-
nade Park, the corner of Krosno Boulevard
and Liverpool Road and Frenchman’s Bay
East Progress Park.
Sigrid Squire, former horticultural soci-
ety president and current member, said the
members get compliments from seniors liv-
ing near the garden at Esplanade Park on a
regular basis. “This is kind of their backyard.”
She said adding in a nice mix of flowers and
colour makes sitting in the park enjoyable for
them. “The compliments we get from people
walking through, it just makes it more enjoy-

Vinyl records, once viewed
as obsolete, are now
enjoying a renaissance,
especially in Durham
AL RIVETT AND MIKE RUTA
newsroom@durhamregion.com
“ The report of my death was an exaggeration.” Mark Twain.
OSHAWA -- Longtime Oshawa record dealer
Michael Star believed the death knell of the vinyl
record was at hand three years ago.
He harks back to 2007, when it seemed almost
inevitable the LP (short for long-playing records)
was headed for the scrap bin, joining the likes of
the long-obsolete eight-track. That year, Mr. Star
said, only about 1,500 titles were put out by music
companies on vinyl as the corporations continued
to reel from sliding compact disc sales and digital
downloads, much of which were of the illegal, free
variety.
Instead of the death of vinyl, how-
ever, the exact
opposite trans-
pired.
Steady growth
in pressings and
sales occurred
over the ensu-
ing three years,
with Mr. Star not-
ing more than
10,000 titles were
released in the LP
format so far this
year.
Surprised? Even
for the most die-
hard of vinyl enthu-
siasts, it was an
astonishing turn-
around.
“That shocks me. I
can’t believe they’re
making so many,” said
Mr. Star, whose Star
Records has been a fix-
ture in Oshawa for the
past 36 years. “I didn’t
think it would come
back, but they’re put-
ting them out full blast
now.
“I thought in the late 1990s and the early 2000s
(the record companies) were going to kill it off,
but they didn’t for some reason. It just blows me
away how many new albums are coming out (on
vinyl) each week.”
And, it’s not just indy bands that have led vinyl’s
resurgence by putting out their music in the for-
mat, said Mr. Star. The super-groups -- from Led
Zeppelin, the Beatles, The Doors and The Roll-
ing Stones -- are re-mastering and re-issuing their
back catalogues on vinyl.
Many of today’s more high-profile bands -- from
Them Crooked Vultures to The Foo Fighters --
have also joined the fray and are releasing their
latest musical offerings on vinyl. Both groups’
albums, said Mr. Star, are among his
best sellers.
Why has vinyl records come
back so strongly in bucking
the trend of digital down-
loads and compact discs?
Mr. Star said what’s old
is definitely new again
with the music-buying
public. The vinyl loyal-
ists have definitely kept
the format from disap-
pearing and, now, even
the younger generation
are buying into vinyl’s
warm sound.
“I think there are a lot of
people who are dedicated to
buying vinyl albums and there’s
the love of collecting certain artists
on vinyl. If there’s 10 albums by Neil Young
(on vinyl), they want to keep buying them.”
Connor Steele definitely isn’t your typical
vinyl record collector. He doesn’t fit the
profile of someone who’s a mature adult
who has grown up collecting vinyl. He’s only 12.
“I like to collect LPs because they’re old and
they have a lot of meaning to me,” said the Brook-
lin resident, who was browsing over the selection
at Star Records with his father one summer after-
noon.
“I can keep them forever and I can pass them
on to my children. Instead of downloading music,
this is the real thing; the quality is
better.”
Currently, he’s got more
than 200 LPs and upwards
of 450 12-inch singles,
mostly in the pop musi-
cal genre. His favou-
rite musician is the
late Michael Jackson,
although he also owns
a number of R and B
and soul albums.
He’s happy
vinyl is making a strong
comeback among music
aficionados.
“I think the LP should
be popular again,” he said.
“For my dad, it brings back a lot
of memories looking through his
albums.”
Whitby resident and
Lighthouse sing-
er Dan Clancy has
around 1,000 albums and says
vinyl’s popularity is on the
upswing.
“There’s a resurgence of
vinyl in the last three or four
years and a lot of the new
bands are releasing albums
on vinyl first,” he says.
Clancy, long before
his Lighthouse days, got
his first record in one
of those pay-a-penny-
and-get-your-first-10-
albums deals. Ironically,
it was Lighthouse’s One
Fine Morning and for
some strange reason he
received two copies.
While nostalgia, cling-
ing to the past, might
account for the renewed
interest in vinyl, at least
for older rockers, it
doesn’t explain why
Clancy’s son, Devin,
19, a musician him-
self, has a turntable
and records.
“I just think that the state the business is in right
now has opened up so many opportunities for
musicians,” Clancy says. “Everybody’s listening to
everything.”
He notes that “there’s a newfound appreciation
for the artwork” on albums.
Finally, Clancy says in the case of himself and
his son, it’s neat to be able to share music he grew
up with, and the medium in which it was present-
ed is a major part of the experience.
Through the ups and downs of the music
retail business, Mr. Star has stayed true to
vinyl. He’s a throwback, a rebel, with his
Oshawa store’s front door emblazoned with the
Confederate flag.
“I still enjoy music and I have a love for vinyl,”
he said matter-of-factly. “Once they stop buying
music and I stop enjoying music, it will be over.
That’s just the way it is.”

DUATHLON
Off to the worlds
SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
WHITBY -- Adam Fitzsimmons will be representing Canada at the World Duathlon
Championships (run, bike, run) in Scotland this weekend.
Ajax native will be right
at home in Scotland
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- For a guy from Canada, Adam
Fitzsimmons will have quite a few more fans
and supporters than most at the ITU duath-
lon world championships in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
Having been born overseas but mov-
ing to Ajax at the age of five, Fitzsimmons
is expecting a big support network of fam-
ily to offer him a nice homecoming when he
lands for the race. Although, once the run,
bike, run gets underway, any home country
advantage he may be feeling will be gone,
save for the weather.
“Assuming we get a typically Scottish day,
I think I’ll do much better than some of the
competitors from warmer climates,” says
Fitzsimmons, who now resides in Whitby.
Not only will he be looking to impress
onlookers, but he will also be proud to be
wearing the Canadian colours as he negoti-
ates his way through the 10km run, 41.6km
bike and 5km run to finish.
“It’s the privilege of getting to wear the
Canadian flag in an international compe-
tition that’s got me more excited than any-
thing,” he says.
The graduate of Ajax High School began
his multi-sport pursuit with duathlons, but
was intrigued by the thought of doing an
Ironman triathlon. Already strong on the
bike and in the run, he gave himself a year
to upgrade his swimming before competing
in his first Ironman in Florida. Three more
followed, with Fitzsimmons entering the
Florida race a second time, then others in
Lake Placid and Idaho. His best time was 10
hours and 40 minutes, remarkably quick for
a race that typically consists of a 3km swim,
180km bike ride and 42km marathon run.
“You learn a lot about yourself during one
of those events,” he says of the commitment
to training and racing.
“It’s a unique opportunity to push your-
self well beyond what your body wants to do
physically.
“It becomes part of your lifestyle. I certain-
ly don’t golf. A lot of social time becomes
spent on the bike versus where people typ-
ically spend it. You don’t go to the bar as
much, you don’t golf, you sort of develop a
social circle around running and riding.”
He shifted his training to road racing with
the Norco bike team in recent years, but the
idea of heading back home to Scotland to
compete against the world’s best duathletes
was of interest. A top-three finish at the pro-
vincials in Gravenhurst in July of last year
earned him the right to be on the national
team. In preparation this summer, he has
been on the podium for every race in the
Subaru series throughout Ontario.
Years worth of training will be tested when
the 34 year old steps to the starting line on
Saturday.
GOLF
Matthew Scobie,
Alisha Corringham
strong on the links
AJAX -- The Hoot Course of pictur-
esque Osprey Valley Golf Club in Alton
played host to the Boston Pizza Maple
Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), where play-
ers competed over 54 holes for division
titles in the MJT Ontario Tour Champion-
ship.
Matthew Scobie, 15, of Ajax, contin-
ued his dominant play on the MJT and
fired rounds of 74-72-75 (221) to finish
eight strokes ahead of his age group com-
petitors in boys 14-16, and four strokes
ahead of the entire field.
“It is a great feeling (to win),” he said
in a press release. “I was able to hit fair-
ways and greens and bounce back after
making mistakes on some holes.”
Tied for second place behind Scobie
in his division were Jamie Cherutti, 16, of
Aurora (78-73-78) and Luke Moser, 16, of
Waterloo (74-77-78).
The Girls division title went to Rachel
Pollock, 16, of Guelph, whose wire-to-
wire victory came with excellent rounds of
77-76-82 (235). Alisha Corringham, 15, of
Pickering, came third (86-84-86=256).
The MJT now commences the
Ontario One Day Fall Series with stops
in Guelph, Avon, Mississauga and Cam-
bridge, before the nationwide season
ends with the Boston Pizza National
Championship presented by Callaway at
Wigwam Golf Resort and Spa in Phoenix,
Arizona, Nov. 19-21.

VOLLEYBALL
Durham Attack releases
2010-11 tryout schedule
DURHAM -- With the cal-
endar flipping to Septem-
ber, that means it’s time for
Durham Attack volleyball
tryouts for the 2010-11 sea-
son.
The first sessions are
being held Thursday night

6-8 p.m. and the U15-U16
girls following from 8-10
p.m.
Next week, sessions shift

U18 boys trying out at J.
Clarke Richardson Colle-
giate on Tuesday and the
U13-U14 girls along with
the U17-U18 girls at Pine
Ridge Secondary School on
Wednesday.
Pine Ridge serves as the
host gym on Thursday as
well with the U13-U14 boys
and U15-U16 girls hitting

Then, from Sept. 13-17,
those looking to make the

OUA
Ajax’s Derek Gregorack
among Ridgebacks
recruits for new season
University team
rounding out
its roster
OSHAWA -- Another half-
dozen players have com-
mitted to the UOIT Ridge-
backs men’s hockey pro-
gram for the upcoming
season.
Head coach Marlin Muy-
laert rounded out the ros-
ter by adding Brooklin’s
Ryan Oliver, Oshawa’s Mike
Montgomery, Ajax’s Derek
Gregorack, Uxbridge’s
Kevin George and two oth-
ers in Shawn Connors and
Jake Rattie to the fold.
The six join previously
recruited players Brendan
Wise, Luke VanMoerker-
ke and Matt Pasztor as the
incoming class of players.
“I believe our nine-man
recruiting class completes
our four-year plan,” Muy-
laert said in a press release.
“For the first time in our
young program’s history,
we have very good solid
depth in goal, on our back
end and up front.”
In Oliver, the Ridgebacks
get a former OJHL and
Norwich University play-
er who has a decent scor-
ing touch as evidenced by
his 118 points in 176 career
OJHL games. The former
fifth round draft pick of
the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie
Greyhounds had his best
season at the tier II level in
2007-08 with the Lindsay
Muskies, scoring 25 goals
and 46 points.
Montgomery returns
home to play for the first
time since 2005-06, when
he was a member of the
now defunct Oshawa
Legionaires. In between
two stints with his home-
town club, Montgomery
suited up in 45 OHL games
over two seasons with the
Peterborough Petes. Mont-
gomery’s junior career
ended in 2007-08 as a
member of the Welland
Junior Canadians.
George, meanwhile, joins
the Ridgebacks despite
a year remaining in his
junior eligibility.
As a 19 year old with
the Muskies last season,
George led the club with
41 goals and 74 points in
just 50 games. A year earli-
er the 6-foot forward fired
home 36 goals.
Gregorack adds some
size to UOIT’s group of for-
wards and, like Montgom-
ery, the 6-foot-3 winger
brings some OHL experi-
ence along with him as a
member of the Petes and
Brampton Batallion. He
closed out his junior career
this past season with the
Aurora Tigers.
Muyleart looked west
for his final two recruits,
plucking Connors and Rat-
tie from the Niagara Falls
Canucks.
Connors showed plenty
of offensive prowess over
the past two seasons, scor-
ing 92 points in 95 games,
while adding a physical
presence to the back end.
Connors has also spent
time in the OHL, suiting
up 51 times for the Kings-
ton Frontenacs in 2005-06
and three times a year ear-
lier.
Rattie, meanwhile, will
join Whitby’s Jason Guy
and Jeff Dawson in the
Ridgebacks’ crease after
playing four years with
Niagara. This past season
he appeared in 37 games,
going 18-9-2-3 with a
3.41 goals against aver-
age before suiting up in 12
playoff games.
The Ridgebacks’ training
camp opens Sept. 7 at the
Campus Ice Centre, with
their first preseason game
coming 10 days later at
home against Windsor.

HOCKEY
Generals brass expect
a competitive camp
BRIAN MCNAIR
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- For the first time
since he’s been in charge,
Chris DePiero is going to
have some difficult choices
to make when it comes time
to pare down the roster of his
Oshawa Generals.
DePiero, in his fifth season
with the Gens and third in
the dual role of head coach
and general manager, is
looking forward to training
camp for that reason.
With burgeoning stars
Christian Thomas and Boone
Jenner leading the way and
the addition of highly-touted
rookies Lucas Lessio, Niklas
Jensen and Scott Laughton,
DePiero is looking at depth
up front that hasn’t been
seen in the past two seasons,
when the Generals were left
out of the Ontario Hockey
League playoffs.
“For me that’s the exciting
part because there’s going to
be lots of competition and
when you have that it makes
for a good camp and it’s a
great way to start the sea-
son when the competition is
there,” DePiero says. “We’ll
see, really, the desire of these
guys in terms of wanting to
be a General.”
After a day of physicals
and fitness testing Wednes-
day, fans will get their first
chance to see the hopefuls in
action when scrimmages get
underway Thursday at 2:30
p.m. at the GM Centre.
The 51 players will get
another look on Friday
before three teams are
reduced to two for the annu-
al Red vs. White game begin-
ning at noon on Saturday.
They get right into game
action on Sunday with an
exhibition game in Belleville,
by which time DePiero
expects only about 28 play-
ers to be remaining in camp.
Along with Alain Berger,
who had a promising season
spoiled by a broken ankle last
season, the five players men-
tioned above should make
for a solid top two lines.
That leaves the likes of
Pickering’s Andy Andreoff,
Jeff Brown, Conor Stokes,
Nick Esposto, John Padulo, JP
Labardo, Daniel Pachis, Cody
Alcock, Victor Terreri, Emer-
son Clark, Brian Hughes and
rookies Mark Petaccio and
Cody Payne fighting for spots
on the remaining two lines.
On defence, veterans Cal-
vin de Haan and Scott Valen-
tine will help bring along the
likes of Colin Suellentrop,
Jimmy McDowell and Kyle
Hope, all of who saw playing
time as rookies a year ago.
Michael Zador and Kevin
Bailie are back between the
pipes in what will surely be
make-or-break seasons for
them.
The Generals have five
exhibition games before
opening for real in Peterbor-
ough Sept. 23.
KICKBOXING
Ajax fighter up for amateur title bout
AJAX -- Chris Martin has
quite a fight ahead of him.
The Whitby resident, who
trains at Ajax’s Iron Dragon

borough this weekend to

io Fight League amateur

cated to Ajax. It was here she met Don the
love of her life. They married, made Ajax

dren at 32 Queen St. Predeceased by her
loving husband Don and her son (our angel)

thank the palliative care team of Ajax for their
compassionate care making her fi nal days at
home comfortable and to the family and
friends who dropped by to say goodbye, to
laugh, cry, sing and enjoy a cup of tea with
her. Marie's strong faith and strength were a
blessing to her family and friends during her
illness. The family will receive friends at the
