For Nikita Lekhi, the first day of Grade 9 pre- sented even more challenges. She had just moved to Ajax from India. She didn’t know anyone. And she was experiencing a major culture shock moving from conservative India to a much more liberal society, she said. To top it all off, some of her classmates didn’t always know what she was saying. “Though my English was good, because of my accent some people found it hard to understand me,” she said. Now, the Pickering High School student is taking part in a new local program to help people in the same situation she was in two years ago. She’s a peer helper for Newcomer Orientation Week (NOW). This week she’s participating in daily activities with other peer helpers and new students to the region to aid those starting at a Canadian school for the first time next week feel more comfortable. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Newcomer parents Amir and Dionne Gafoor, with their children Almira and Dominick, spoke at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Aug. 31 for the launch of the Settlement Workers in Schools program. The government of Canada launched the new program to help newcomer youth in Durham Region schools. facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham See DURHAM page 9 POLICE 2 Toronto tragedy Police knew of Pickering man’s mental issues: family FIRE 4 It’s under investigation Dumpster ablaze at Pickering mall SPORTS 17 Lacrosse champ Ajax man wins national title with Halton Hills Th ursday, September 2, 2010 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20102 AP SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2010 AJAX CONVENTION CENTRE 550 BECK CRESCENT (AJAX, ON.)

Cops knew he was mentally ill: statement BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- Police were aware of a Pickering man’s mental health issues before a confrontation that left him fatally shot on a Toronto street, according to the dead man’s family. In a statement released through their lawyer, Reyal Jensen Jardine- Douglas’s family said they had been seeking help for the troubled young man in the days leading up to his death. Mr. Jardine-Douglas, 25, was shot to death by Toronto police near a city bus Sunday after- noon in east Toronto. Police said he was armed with a knife. The shooting was “tragic and unnecessary,” lawyer Glenn Stuart said in releasing the statement. The young man’s family said they had called police for assistance as they tried to take him to hospital for treatment of his mental health issues. “In the early afternoon of Sun- day ... Reyal’s family called 911 from the intersection of Law- rence Avenue East and Vic- toria Park Avenue, seek- ing assistance in getting Reyal to a hospital to address mental health problems he was expe- riencing, including paranoia,” the statement said. “He was not exhibiting any violent behaviours at the time.” Mr. Jardine-Douglas, who had not been cooperative with efforts to get him treatment, boarded a city bus heading south on Victo- ria Park Avenue. The family told a Toronto police dispatcher the young man was on the bus and stressed his troubled state, accord- ing to the statement. Responding officers were also told about Mr. Jardine-Douglas’s condition, the family said. “The family was continuing to try to have Reyal obtain appropri- ate medical treatment on Sunday ... which led them to follow him to the intersection and their call to 911,” the statement said. Shortly after the call was made Toronto police stopped the bus. Mr. Jardine-Douglas was shot when he emerged from the bus. Mr. Jar- dine-Douglas’s family, who waited a few blocks away, was informed of the shooting by officers. The Province’s Special Investiga- tions Unit, which probes incidents of death or injury involving police, is examining the actions of police. Monica Hudon, spokeswoman for the SIU, said a Toronto police officer is being investigated in the shooting. His name is not being released. Mr. Stuart wouldn’t comment on whether the family’s statement conflicts with the version of events released by police, who said they responded to a reported incident on the bus. “I’m not in a position to comment on that,” he said. He also would not comment on how long Mr. Jardine- Douglas had been experiencing mental health problems. The family had tried desperate- ly to find help for the young man, according to the statement. “Reyal had been taken by the fam- ily to a physician on 27th August. On the following day, he was taken to a hospital, but they were referred to a second one, when the first one informed the family that it did not have the resources at that time to assist,” they said. “Reyal was non- cooperative with the medical per- sonnel on both of these attempts at intervention.” The family has refused requests for comment from the media. “As you can imagine, they’re grieving their loss,” Mr. Stuart said. TRAGEDY IN TORONTO Pickering man’s family called police before deadly shooting OSHAWA -- A Durham-based charity aimed at eradicating drinking and driving is hosting a fundraiser and website launch on Sept. 11. Safe and Sober Canada was start- ed by the family and friends of Mel- anie Carter, who died three years ago at age 21 when she got behind the wheel after drinking. Her father, Blair Carter, said the charity’s mandate includes educat- ing the public -- especially young people -- about dangerous driving related to alcohol, drugs and cell- phone use. The launch of the new website means organizers are looking for people to contribute blog posts and articles and share personal stories related to dangerous driving. The fundraiser is at Port Whitby Marina, 301 Watson St. W., Whitby. Tickets are $20 in advance.

Feds commit to using ‘common sense’ before cutting off funds REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax Mayor Steve Parish recently asked the federal government for a little bit of extra time in completing federal infra- structure projects, but got a non-committal response. On Aug. 25, Minister of State for Dem- ocratic Reform Steven Fletcher visited Pickering Village for a photo opportunity and to give a speech on federally funded infrastructure projects. He was speaking on behalf of Gary Goodyear, Minister of State for FedDev Ontario. Mr. Fletcher visited Old Kingston Road, which is set for a $2.27 million revamp, with the feds chipping in up to $1.27 million. “Here in the Town of Ajax, our govern- ment has invested more than $3 million through the Community Adjustment Fund for the revitalization of Old Kingston Road, the improvements to road realignment in Ajax and the development of a strategic plan to intensify economic development opportunities,” he said. The road realign- ment refers to Fairall Street improvements which will see the road connected to Sta- tion Street after the demolition of the for- mer Avery Dennison building. “These projects will help residents of Ajax enjoy safer roads for years to come and pro- mote economic development and diversifi- cation in the community,” said the minister. Federal funding for local infrastructure proj- ects was part of the government’s stimulus package and one of the conditions was that the work be completed by March 31, 2011. However, Mayor Parish said Ajax is looking for some flexibility as some of the projects, including Old Kingston Road, phase two of the Fairall Street work and the replacement of the Memorial Outdoor Pool, may take longer. “We’ll be substantially complete on these projects before the winter (construction) shutdown.” Mayor Parish said if the government cuts off funding on March 31, the municipalities will be on the hook. “That wouldn’t be fair to local taxpayers,” he said. Mr. Fletcher said all municipalities knew about the deadlines, but if they’re not com- plete the federal government will have to assess the situation. “I think we’ll be using common sense as we move forward,” said Mr. Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher also took questions regarding his portfolio. Currently the federal govern- ment is looking at increasing the number of members of parliament in the fast-growing provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. His plan calls for 18 more seats in Ontar- io and he expects there will be an impact in Ajax. “The population growth in Ontario has happened primarily in the southern parts of the province and one would anticipate that’s where the seats would be,” he said. If the legislation passes, an independent commission would determine the riding boundaries. Mayor Parish supported the idea. “They’re going to go where there’s been very dynamic growth and that means plac- es like Ajax,” he said. INFRASTRUCTURE Ajax mayor asks feds for more time on projects RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- The Town of Ajax held an official ceremony to celebrate three local econom- ic development projects, including a facelift of Old Kingston Road. Steven Fletcher, Minister of Democratic Reform, left, and Mayor Steve Parish were among those to speak during the ceremony on Aug. 25. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20104 AP www.durhamregionwaste.ca 1-800-667-5671 www.durhamregiontransit.com 1-866-247-0055 Service Changes Effective September 7, 2010 866-247-0055 401 Simcoe North & South - Weekday Reverts to academic schedule with Northbound 7.5 minute peak service (7:30 am - 16:15 pm) Southbound 15 minute peak service. 405 Central Park - Route Change From the east side of the Oshawa Centre to King at Gibbons resumes regular routing to Harmony Walmart.

PICKERING -- With billowing black smoke, a dumpster fire at the Pickering Town Cen- tre looked worse than it was on Tuesday afternoon. The Pickering Fire Service got the call at 12:14 p.m. and about five trucks respond- ed, said fire inspector Steve Fowlds. “On arrival there was heavy smoke on the exterior of the building of Sport Chek,” he said. “The fire was in a dumpster beside Sport Chek and Sport Chek was evacuated as a precaution.” Firefighters got the fire under control quickly, however, before many people in Pickering saw the black smoke billowing from the mall. There was some minor smoke damage to the outside of the building and no dam- age to the inside. Mr. Fowlds said the fire isn’t considered suspicious, though it’s still under investigation. “The dumpster’s full of what looks like renovation debris, lots of wood and plas- tic and renovation garbage, so there was an awful lot of black smoke ... it really wasn’t that bad at all in terms of propery damage,” he said. “It looked worse than it was.” Later in the afternoon, doors were open for shoppers again. “We’re up and running and everything is back to normal,” said Lorna Murphy, mar- keting director for Pickering Town Centre.

Durham police issue search warrant, man arrested without incident AJAX -- An Ajax man is facing Internet lur- ing charges after a two-and-a-half month investigation by Durham police. Members of the Sexual Assault Unit’s Child Exploitation Sec- tion executed a search warrant at a residence on Kingston Road West in Ajax on Aug. 26 and made the arrest without incident. Police say a man was active on Internet chat rooms seeking young girls to engage in sexual conversations under the screen names John_Rahal2003 and Rahal73. They also say the man exposed himself online via webcam. John Victor Rahal, 36, of Root Crescent in Ajax is charged with seven counts each of Internet luring of a child and invita- tion to sexual touching. He is also charged with five counts of indecent exposure of genitals to a child and possession of a controlled sub- stance. The accused was held for a bail hear- ing. Police say he is a former resident of Oshawa. Anyone with informa- tion in this investi- gation can contact either Det. Randy Norton of the DRPS Sexual Assault/ Internet Child Exploitation Unit at 1- 888-579-1520 ext. 5363 or Det. Const. Brian Vickers of the same unit at ext. 5349.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions durhamregion.com ENERGY Take yourself off the grid if you oppose nuclear power To the editor: Re: ‘Inexpensive nuclear power is pure fantasy’ and ‘Editorial ignores research in renewable energy’, letters to the editor, This Week, Thursday, Aug. 26. If Mr. Leahy of Uxbridge and Mr. Bennett of the doom-and-gloom Sierra Club are so opposed to the power that is generated in this province by nuclear, I invite them to remove themselves from the grid. They can go ahead and erect themselves a suitable wind turbine and then tell me how much of a fantasy inexpensive nuclear is. People like you take way too much for granted. Give your head a shake. Matt Burden Oshawa DISTRACTIONS Scourge of cellphone drivers continues To the editor: When will the public get serious about the no cellphone use while operating a motor vehicle? Just take a look; motorists are talking on phones while driving and I dare say just as many as prior to the ban. I don’t own a cellphone so I am not faced with the temp- tation. I do wish to share an observation from the corner of Rossland and Thornton roads. I was driving on the inside lane and stopped at the southbound red light. The person in the car to my left (middle lane, travelling south) was taking on her phone. With windows down I simply said, “Do you realize you are breaking the law?“ She responded with, “It’s OK to talk while stopped at a red light.” I believe the law says pull over, park and then talk. I do believe that operating a car with your foot on the brake is still consid- ered driving. Brian Healey Oshawa *** To the editor: Re: Distracted drivers here flout new cell- phone law. I’d like to thank reporter Jeff Mitchell and Sergeant Galipeau for keeping this new law in the spotlight. I can’t believe what I see out there on a regular basis, including a mom sitting in the middle of a busy intersection waiting for the light to change with one hand on the phone and a couple kids in the back. If the Durham Regional Police want to break that record of 20 tickets in a half-hour then just sit outside the GO station around 4 or 5 p.m. -- the busiest time -- and see all the people hurrying in their cars, risking life and limb just to get on the phone. Thanks again to the DRP. Happy hunt- ing. Ian Fleming Whitby SPORTS FEES Soccer costs less than hockey To the editor: Re: ‘Cost of hockey puts crunch on Dur- ham families’, durhamregion.com. The rising cost of hockey may be the one thing that drives families away from the game, which is too bad. The $5,000 spent for five kids could have alternatively provided all with a full year of soccer (winter indoor league and out- door summer rep soccer) or allowed 38 kids to play summer house league soccer in Bowmanville. That’s just one more reason soccer is called “the beautiful game.” Jim Anderson Bowmanville *** To the editor: Re: ‘Cost of hockey puts crunch on Dur- ham families’, Aug. 20. What is the point of reporting the costs of hockey for families? Other than the impact of the HST this year, the story line could be written every autumn. Is it really news? Andrew Hastie Whitby WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Welcoming young new Canadians to Durham schools, communities Teens starting their first year of high school next week do so with a range of concerns: fear of the unknown, social acceptance, academic success. Teens new to Canada entering high school for the first time have similar con- cerns that are compounded by cultural or language barriers, a desire to conform, and a sense of being an outsider. Just ask Nikita Lekhi, who entered Grade 9 two years ago, shortly after moving to Durham Region from India. She endured a period of adjustment when she entered Pickering High School and found her own way. Her experience is typical of those new both to Canada and Durham Region. As a new school year looms, Nikita is participating in a new local program to help provide welcoming assistance and support to new Canadians entering high schools in Durham. The Newcomer Orientation Week (NOW) program is part of the newly launched Settlement Workers in Schools Durham, an initiative between the Com- munity Development Council of Durham, both local school boards and the federal government. This is precisely the sort of program that is needed to expose new Canadians to local customs and culture and assist them in both becoming a part of and con- tributing to their adopted home. It helps local youth bond with newcomers, forge important new relationships and foster a sense of community among the students and their families. It takes courage and confidence -- with a goodly measure of optimism -- to uproot a family and move to a foreign nation. Those of us already here in this vibrant, diverse, wealthy and welcoming country have an obligation to new Canadians to ensure that their experience is positive. And as we expose them to local culture, we can learn from the historical customs and mores new Canadians bring with them. Whether European, Asian or Arab, immigrants beginning a new life in Can- ada have rich and deep customs from which we can learn. Through them, our newest neighbours, we can continue to find strength in our national diversity. Nikita Lekhi found her way, made new friends and is well on her way to adult- hood as a new Canadian in Durham Region. Her experience, her openness to learn- ing and her sense of discovery led to the creation of new opportunities. People like Nikita reinforce the idea behind the NOW program. It is a vital- ly important tool that helps newcomers become, like the rest of us, ordinary Cana- dians. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20107 P Don’t miss our GRAND OPENING SAVINGS on new and pre-owned vehicles and specials in our service and parts departments †††AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AWD TUCSON GLS Limited model shown $500 dealer participation included2010 SAVE $2,200NO CHARGE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE 1.9%PURCHASE FINANCING FOR 60 MOS.

HWY. 401 ROUGEMOUNTALTONAN. www.arthurs.ca E: wayne@arthurs.ca On August 30th, the Provincial government announced that over 50,000 additional Grade 3, 6 and 9 students are meeting or exceeding the provincial standard in reading, writing and math, compared to seven years ago. For Grade 3 and Grade 6, 68% of students are mastering the reading, writing and math skills that will lead to success in high school, postsecondary education and the workforce. This represents a 14 percentage point increase since 2002-03. English-language Grade 9 math scores have increased by more than 16 percentage points in the same period. Since 2003, the government has reduced class sizes in the primary grades, increased professional learning and raised the graduation rate. Across Ontario, 400 new, publicly funded schools have been built or are underway through the Good Places to Learn initiative. And, this September, up to 35,000 four- and fi ve-year-olds will be in full-day kindergarten at almost 600 schools. Helping students reach their full potential is part of the Open Ontario Plan. Students who achieve early success in school are more likely to perform well later in school and go on to postsecondary education. This ensures that Ontario will have the skilled workforce to compete in the global, knowledge-based economy.

Her goal is that this year no newcomer will go to school without a friend on their first day, she said, adding she hoped new stu- dents would have a “super awesome” first day at school. Newcomer Orientation Week is just one part of the newly-launched program Settle- ment Workers in Schools Durham. Settlement Workers in Schools Durham is a partnership between the Community Development Council Durham, the Durham District School Board, the Durham Catholic District School Board and the federal gov- ernment. The program places settlement workers in Durham schools throughout the year. It will connect new students and their families with community resources and foster stu- dent achievement among immigrant youth. It was officially launched at J. Clarke Rich- ardson Collegiate and Notre Dame Catho- lic Secondary School’s shared auditorium on Aug. 31. The education directors from both school boards, Member of Parliament for Oshawa Colin Carrie and representa- tives from the Region and the Community Development Council Durham spoke at the launch. “Cultures of inclusion start with our young people and today we are laying the ground- work for future success,” said Dr. Hugh Drouin, social services commissioner for the Region and co-chairman of the Local Diver- sity and Immigration Partnership Council. Amir and Dionne Gafoor have seen first- hand how helpful the organization can be, even before its official launch. When the couple and their two young children moved to Ajax from Guyana in May they were job- less and scared. They met a worker from Settlement Work- ers in Schools when they went to their daughter Almira’s kindergarten orientation and he helped them lay a path and feel at home in the community, Ms. Gafoor said. Now both are working in their chosen fields, Mr. Gafoor as a civil engineer and Ms. Gafoor as a daycare worker. They feel more at home in their new community. Mr. Gafoor has even joined a cricket team. “I think we are pretty lucky,” he said. Page 6 - Today’s editorial EDUCATION Durham program to foster student achievement among immigrant youth DURHAM from page 1 DURHAM -- An investigation by Durham police has led to the seizure of a $1 million marijuana crop in east Toronto. Officers with the Drug Enforcement Unit fol- lowed a suspect to a home on Lavery Trail in Toronto Monday. Armed with a search warrant they broke down the door and discovered a sophisti- cated grow operation, complete with surveil- lance cameras, water-cooled air conditioners and carbon dioxide generators. A suspect was found hiding under insulation in the attic. Cops found that hydro and water services had been bypassed to run the grow op. Officers removed 875 plants they estimate are worth $1 million on the street. Yun Chen, 42, of Lavery Trail in Toronto is charged with production and possession for the purpose of trafficking, as well as hydro theft.

Your finances? Your health? It’s normal to feel occasional anxiety in everyday life, but 1 in 5 Canadians experience something far more intense than that. If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activities, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of 6 million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety disorders engage in damaging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding circumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued dis- tress,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. David Direnfeld, Director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “When you stop going to parties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrink- ing around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-confidence and self-worth is often accompanied by depression—a pervasive sense of hopeless- ness, sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our expert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medication. One form of “talk therapy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety dis- orders and depression in the short term, and in many cases, more effective at preventing relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain-imaging scans show that CBT produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identical to the effects of medication. “The major difference,” explains Dr. Direnfeld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side-effects is nil.” These facts, along with thousands of clinical studies sup- porting its effectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non-medical treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, forward-looking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple prem- ise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life experiences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may find ourselves with irrational, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experiences that happened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to pre- pare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by challenging the irrational beliefs that sabotage you, and replacing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxiety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efficacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-altering changes in a relatively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more information about CBT or to book a consulta- tion at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (offices in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

Cold viruses can spread quickly and this can be a bigger problem for kids with long-term lung diseases like asthma, which affects about 20 percent of Ontario kids. So much so, the third week of September has been termed “week 38” because of the annual spike in asthma attacks, which also means a spike in emergency visits. All kids – and adults too – can guard against cold viruses by washing their hands. Here are fi ve basic tips for hand washing: 1. Wet your hands - your whole hand, not just your fi nger tips. 2. Add liquid soap – about the size of a quarter in the palm of your hand. 3. Scrub for 20 seconds. 4. Rinse for 10 seconds. 5. Dry your hands with a paper towel. Use the same towel to turn off the water tap and open the bathroom door. Kids with asthma need to take extra precautions and make sure their asthma is under control. This will help keep their lungs healthier and if a cold or fl u takes hold, their lungs will be better at fi ghting it off. The Ontario Lung Association offers free educa- tional materials to families and schools across the Back to school means back to basics: First lesson is hand washing province. You can visit www.on.lung.ca for the resource list or call its helpline at 1-888-344-LUNG (5864) and speak to a certifi ed respiratory educator. www.newscanada.com 3%04%-"%2\&/2%6%29/5.'!$6%24)3).'&%!452% !-/.4(,9&%!452%#%,%"2!4).'!#4)6%,)6).'/6%2 (AVEYOUCONSIDEREDYOURLEGACY 1& ³:KDWGR\RXZDQWSHRSOHWRVD\DERXW\RXDIWHU\RXDUHJRQH":HDOOZDQWWR OHDGDOLIHZRUWKUHPHPEHULQJEXWFUHDWLQJDODVWLQJOHJDF\LVDERXWPRUHWKDQMXVW PRQH\³EXWLW·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³2QFHZHUHDFKVSHFLDODWWHQ WLRQLVQHHGHGWRNHHSRXULPPXQHV\VWHP ZRUNLQJSURSHUO\KHDOWKVSHFLDOLVWVVD\ %\SD\LQJDYLGDWWHQWLRQWRQXWULWLRQ VHQLRUVFDQJRDORQJZD\WRZDUGVNHHSLQJ LQIHFWLRQVDZD\2QWKHRWKHUKDQGQH JOHFWHGQXWULWLRQPD\PDNHFRQWDFWZLWK WKHKDUPIXOJHUPVPXFKZRUVH ´$VZHDJHLWEHFRPHVKDUGHUIRUWKH LPPXQHV\VWHPWRILJKWRIIHYHQMXVWFROG DQGIOXYLUXVHVµVD\V6KHUU\7RUNRV SKDUPDFLVWDQGDXWKRURI 7KH&DQDGLDQ (QF\FORSHGLDRI1DWXUDO0HGLFLQH´,P PXQRORJ\LVDEURDGILHOGRIVWXG\DQG UHVHDUFKHUVFRQWLQXHWRH[SORUHUHDVRQV RXULPPXQHV\VWHPVZHDNHQ6RPHWKLQN WKHERG\EHFRPHVOHVVDEOHWRSURGXFHWKH FHOOVWKDWILJKWRIILOOQHVV2WKHUVSRLQWWR WKHIDFWWKDWVHQLRUVRIWHQHDWOHVVZKLFK GHSULYHVWKHERG\RI WKHQXWULHQWVQHHGHG WRNHHSWKHLULPPXQHV\VWHPVVWURQJ,WLV DIDFWWKDWPDQ\ROGHUSHRSOHDUHXQGHU QRXULVKHGDQGWKLVODFNRILPSRUWDQW YLWDPLQVDQGPLQHUDOVFRXOGEHWKHUHDVRQ IRUYXOQHUDELOLW\WRFKURQLFLOOQHVVDQG GLVHDVHµ 0DQ\VHQLRUVDUHSURDFWLYHZKHQLW FRPHVWRPDLQWDLQLQJWKHEHVWSRVVLEOH KHDOWKVRWDNHDORRNDWVRPHRIWKHLU HYHU\GD\PHDVXUHV s0AYATTENTIONTOFOOD$OWKRXJKWKHUH LVQ·WRQHIRRGWKDWZLOOSURYLGHDQLQVWDQW ERRVWWR\RXULPPXQHV\VWHPGHYHORSLQJ WKHKDELWRIHDWLQJDEDODQFHGKHDOWK\ GLHWZLWKDQWLR[LGDQWULFKIUHVKIUXLWDQG YHJHWDEOHVOHDQSURWHLQVDQGILEUHZLOO VXSSRUWJRRGKHDOWK s#ONSIDERDIETARYSUPPLEMENTSTOCOMPLE MENTYOURDIET0DQ\VHQLRUVFDQEHQHILW IURPWDNLQJGDLO\YLWDPLQVDQGPLQHU DOV7KHUHDUHDOVRVSHFLILFVXSSOHPHQWV IRUVXSSRUWLQJLPPXQHKHDOWKVXFKDV ,PPXQLW\)[,WFRQWDLQVH[WUDFWVIURP $PHULFDQJLQVHQJDQGUHLVKLPXVKURRP ERWKRIZKLFKDUHFOLQLFDOO\SURYHQWR VWUHQJWKHQWKHLPPXQHV\VWHP s%STABLISHAREGULARSLEEPINGPATTERN$ IXOOHLJKWKRXUVUHMXYHQDWHVWKHPLQGUH SOHQLVKHVWKHERG\DQGSURYLGHVHQHUJ\IRU DSRVLWLYHDWWLWXGHDQGDQDFWLYHOLIHVW\OH s.URTUREYOURSOCIALLIFE/RQHOLQHVVDQG GHSUHVVLRQSRVHVHULRXVFKDOOHQJHVWRWKH LPPXQHV\VWHP6HQLRUVZKRDUHDFWLYH SURGXFWLYHPHQWDOO\VWLPXODWHGDQG VRFLDOO\HQJDJHGHQMR\EHWWHUKHDOWKDQG ORQJHYLW\durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 201011 AP Step In Safely Bathway converts your existing bathtub into a safe and accessible step-in shower in just over an hour.

The Diversity Debate Organizing Com- mittee is a sub committee of the Durham LGBTQ Communities Involved Commit- tee, which advocates for the lesbian, gay bisexual, trans and queer community and their allies. The diversity debates will feature ques- tions relating to ethnicity, sexual orien- tation, socio-economic status, age, gen- der, abilities and religion, among other issues. “Our vision of initiating public forums relating to these controversial and too- often ignored issues stems from the belief that true political leadership involves championing diversity and rec- ognizing its value and potential while addressing challenges head on,” reads a statement from the organizing commit- tee. Debates are currently planned for Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. The Pickering event takes place Sept. 14 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Pickering Public Library. The Oshawa event takes place Sept. 24 from 2 to 4 p.m. in room UB2080 on the UOIT campus. The Whitby event takes place Sept. 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Regional Headquar- ters, room LLC. Dates and locations for the Ajax and Clarington events have yet to be con- firmed.

In some cases there’ll be special expertise,” said Ms. Leger- Haskell. The funding is being provided to help the recipients in participating in upcom- ing steps of the comprehensive study process, including the review of the comprehensive study report. The participants can submit expense receipts and be reimbursed up to the set amount. The CEAA is reviewing the environ- mental effects of the project and mea- sures to address those effects. The next step is public comments on the draft study report, then a final report is written and public comments are gathered. A decision will then be made on whether the project can move for- ward. According to the federal agency’s press release, the Ontario Ministry of Trans- portation’s plans for an east extension of Hwy. 407 include the extension of main- line 407 from its current end at Brock Road in Pickering all the way to Hwy. 35/115 and two north-south links con- necting Hwy. 401 to the proposed exten- sion of Hwy. 407. While the expansion is being planned all the way to Hwy. 35/115, the Province has recently decided to build in stages, ending the first phase of the extension at Simcoe Street in Oshawa. A funding review committee examined the requests for funding. The commit- tee’s report is available in the CEAA Reg- istry at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, under ref- erence number 10-03-39781.

The Ajax resident was part of the Halton Hills Bulldogs who won the Founders Cup, emblematic of Jr. B lacrosse supremacy in Canada. In dramatic fashion, the Bulldogs fin- ished off the week-long tournament with a 4-3 double overtime victory over the host Mimico Mountain- eers. It capped off a perfect week for the Bulldogs, who went 5-0 in the round robin and got past Kam- loops 11-2 in the semifinal. Unfortunately for Jenkins, he wasn’t on the floor or the bench when the final goal was scored, forced to watch the championship game from the stands as a healthy scratch. “I knew going in that I was going to be there for depth,” said the 21-year-old graduate of Denis O’Connor. “I just assumed the role of being there when they needed me. “It was for the better of the team and I do whatever helps us win. Just getting the chance to be there was a gift. I just kept working hard, hoping to get in, and I didn’t get in, but it all turned out good.” Jenkins turned to lacrosse with the West Durham organization after an arm injury forced him to quit baseball. After graduating from the minor system, he landed a spot with the Jr. B Markham Iron- heads, where he played for five sea- sons, including this summer when he was named captain. With the Ironheads on target to finish out of the playoffs, he was traded to Hal- ton Hills at the deadline. It gave him an instant chance at the play- offs and a long shot at competing at the Founders Cup. “It was hard for me,” he said of leaving the only junior team he played for. “I’ve always been loyal to my teams, but my coach pulled me aside and said you have a real good chance. It was hard to leave, but I knew it was for the better.” Being a late addition can also make for some uncomfortable times in the dressing room of the new team. Half the team can be welcoming and respectful of the upgrade, while the other half can be wary of a new guy taking away floor time. Jenkins says the players on the team made him feel right at home. “Walking into the room was kind of weird because you get the looks,” he agreed. “Nobody really knew me and as an older guy, it’s hard to walk in a new room and go from captain and leader on one team to just having to blend in to the other team.” Halton Hills earned the right to play in the Founders after winning the Ontario title. Along they way, they won series over Orangeville (3-0), Newmarket (3-1), the Clar- ington Green Gaels (3-2, rebound- ing from down 2-0), and Elora (3- 2). As for his future in the game, the pre-foundations student at Durham College was used as a callup with the Sr. B Brooklin Merchants in the past and has that as an option. He also plans to go out for some runs with the Ajax-Pickering Rock of the Major Series League. He is defi- nitely going to get into the coaching side, helping out next season with the Whitby minor team his cousin plays with. Don’t count out the playing part, though. “I miss the game already,” he said. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Kevin Jenkins, a defender for the Halton Hills Bulldogs Jr. B lacrosse club, won the Founders Cup with the team against the Mimico Mountaineers. BASKETBALL Advantage Basketball Club preparing for new season AJAX -- Tryouts have already begun for the Advantage Basket- ball Club as they put together ros- ters for the 2010/2011 rep season. The tryouts began Aug. 30 and will run through Sept. 17th at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax and the Ellesmere Commu- nity Centre in Scarborough. The club will be putting together teams for boys and girls aged 10 to 17. Chris Smalling of Advantage Basketball says the responsibilities of the program’s coaches include providing a constant reminder to players as to why the kids have been signed up to play. The reason’s range from having run to learning the game and life skills that go along with the game. Advantage is coming off a suc- cessful season where 75 per cent of their teams played at Ontario Basketball Association triple-A level. Their 2010 junior girls post- ed the best finish, earning a silver and have medaled at the triple-A level in two of the past three sea- sons. In 2010, their juvenile girls also brought home some hardware, earning a bronze at the champi- onships, while the bantam boys team was impressive too, finishing fourth. Tryout fees are $20 per player and more information can be found by calling the club at 905-550-2111 or by visiting advantagebball.com, where other contact information can be found. According to Smalling, who has worked with several high-pro- file local players, including the University of Minnesota’s Devoe Joseph, Juevol Myles of Kansas State University, Adriana Allen of Monmouth University and Wumi Agunbiade of Duquesne Univer- sity, over the past two years more than a dozen Advantage members have been offered scholarships or played basketball at the NCAA, CIS or OCAA levels. Some of the other players Small- ing has worked with include Dwayne Smith (George Washing- ton University), Taylor Johnson (Binghamton University), Shan- ice McKoy (University of Texas), Lauren Griffith (American Inter- national), Kayla Grossett (Mount St. Mary’s University) and Noelle Zletni (Niagara University). durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 201018 AP Thursday, Sept. 2, 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.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2010 AJAX CONVENTION CENTRE 550 BECK CRESCENT (AJAX, ON.) NEW FURNITURE & ACCESSORIES PREVIEW 12:00PM • AUCTION 1:00PM HURDLES Durham’s Lopes-Schliep at the top of her game RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND WHITBY -- Whitby hurdler Priscilla Lopes-Schliep posed with the trophy she won after claiming the Diamond League title this season. She won the final four races of the season to take the title. Pickering’s Felicien finishes third in big race BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Priscilla Lopes- Schliep is ready to enjoy some down time -- if you can call it that. After wrapping up another tremendous season on the track, one that has left her as the world’s top-ranked female hurdler, the 28-year- old Whitby native is set to gallivant across the west- ern United States with her husband, Bronson, one of a number of trips the two plan to enjoy. In a telephone interview Monday night, just three days after she claimed the inaugural Diamond League title by winning the final event in Brussels, Belgium, Lopes-Schliep went through an itinerary that will see the couple begin and end a diz- zying three-week trip in Col- orado, home of Bronson’s parents. Among the many plans in between, Lopes-Schliep will visit the hot springs of Wyo- ming, Old Faithful at Yel- lowstone National Park, the Napa Valley, Las Vegas and, she hopes, take in a viewing of her favourite game show, The Price is Right, where she would love to be a con- testant. There will also be a quick jaunt over to Hawaii, using the many air miles she’s built up competing all over the world. “I’m married to someone who’s quite adventurous,” she says of her husband, a dentist now practising in Oshawa. “This is a huge trip in our lives ... It’s basically a great, big outdoors trip.” And, it’s well earned. Lopes-Schliep, who burst onto international promi- nence by winning a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and followed that up with a silver at the world championships last year, is at the top of her game right now. She has won the past four races in the 100-metre hur- dles, and just earned the richest pay day of her career, as the Diamond League vic- tory came with a four-carat diamond worth $80,000 and $40,000 in cash. She also joins a group of only four other Canadi- ans who have been ranked No. 1 in the world in track and field, including fellow hurdler Perdita Felicien of Pickering, who held the dis- tinction in 2003 and fin- ished off a fine season in her own right by placing third in Brussels and fourth in the standings this year. Both athletes have decid- ed to skip this year’s Com- monwealth Games in New Delhi, India, as they hope to set themselves up for two important years ahead, cul- minating in the 2012 Olym- pics in London. Although it was a difficult decision for Lopes-Schliep, she looks back to 2000, when she pushed herself hard to make the world junior championships in October, only to suffer through an injury-plagued season the next year. “You’ve got to make smart choices and listen to your body,” says Lopes-Schliep, who enjoyed a well-earned sleep-in on Monday, then went to Toronto for chiro and massage therapy. “Right now I feel great.” Lopes-Schliep won the Brussels race a day after her 28th birthday, and without the presence of her longtime coach, Pickering’s Anthony McCleary, who was celebrat- ing his 20th wedding anni- versary. After a stumble out of the blocks, she finished typical- ly strong, winning in a time of 12.54 seconds, followed by Sally Pearson of Australia and Felicien. American Lolo Jones, who had been tied with Lopes-Schliep in the standings, finished fifth. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 201019 ITINERARY* 8 am Departure Oshawa Centre, eastern parking lot (near Zellers) 9:45 am – 11:00am The Grange of P.E.C.

Durham also had a strong showing in the darts tour- nament with both entries winning gold, Sue Sanford (Pickering) and Marion Carli (Brooklin) in women’s doubles and Ron Barren (Whitby) and Bessie Rutt (Whitby) in mixed doubles. Other gold medals were won by Hugh Horn (Sea- grave) and Marnie Harrison (Seagrave) in the 65+ mixed pickleball division; Wayne Wallwork (Whitby), Dorothy Little (Wilmot Creek) and Don Little (Wilmot Creek) in the lawn bowling mixed triples event; Tony Ricciutto (Oshawa) and Rinaldo Pulla (Oshawa) in bocce; Ken Fry (Whitby) in the men’s 75+ freestyle swimming; and the slo-pitch team, which avenged its only defeat in the round-robin tourna- ment with a 7–0 win in the gold medal game. Slo-pitch team members were Brian Myers (Oshawa), Rick Howe (Oshawa), John Devitt (Oshawa), Howard Moore (Prince Albert), John Horton (Port Perry), John Raines (Ajax), John Barker (Courtice), Tom Brett (Ash- burn), Claire Glendinning (Oshawa), John Robinson (Millbrook), Frank Scott (Courtice), Glenda Cardwell (Whitby), Lorraine LaR- onde (Oshawa) and Jacquie Forbes (Bowmanville). Silver medals were won by Nancy Jackson (Oshawa) and Marty Welder (Oshawa) in mixed horseshoes, Roy Wilson (Port Perry) and David Werry (Port Perry) in men’s 55+ pickleball, Mary Ellen Blackmore (Wilmot Creek) in the women’s sin- gles and David Taylor (Ajax) in the men’s singles of the five-pin bowling event. Tennis provided anoth- er medal when Bev Keith (Oshawa) and Grace D’Angelo (Oshawa) took the bronze in the women’s 65+ division. With 15 medals, Durham finished on top of the medal standings. London was sec- ond with 14 and Bramp- ton third with 11. In all, 36 districts participated in the Games, which take place every second year. Brampton is hosting the next Actifest in 2012. The Durham seniors now turn their attention to the Winter Games with the local competitions scheduled to take place in Novem- ber.
