Home My WebLink AboutNA2011_05_26 KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If all goes according to plan, the brand new Claremont General Store should be up and running in September or October. The store was gutted by fire in July 2009 after serving the Claremont community for more than 150 years. There were no inju- ries, but the fire destroyed the store, left the tenants in the building’s two apartments homeless, and a small community without its staple store. Nearly two years later, construction has begun on a brand new store in the small community. The owner and his family, com- munity members and dignitaries attended the official groundbreaking ceremony on May 14. “We have been waiting for a long time,” said store owner Daniel Park. The store was a neighbourhood staple, allowing residents of the community tucked away in north Pickering to simply walk down the street for basic necessities such as milk and bread, or to pick up their mail. “It’s a hub,” said Reverend Rob Selby of Claremont United Church after the fire. “It really is.” Travel,Health,Life, Auto,Home&More...

Defiant Pearson spars with prosecutor JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Damion Pearson has denied killing his friend Khristian Ottley, point- ing the finger at another man who was along for a fateful meeting on a winter night three years ago in Pickering. Admitting he lied to police investigat- ing the killing, the 24-year-old Mr. Pear- son testified he was under pressure to protect his friends and himself when he gave several versions of how Mr. Ottley, 23, came to be shot point-blank in the back with a sawed-off shotgun as he sat in the driver’s seat of his car. But Mr. Pearson insisted Wednesday he‘s now being truthful about the iden- tity of the killer. He blamed a man who has already testified for the Crown at this trial, telling jurors he was present when Mr. Pearson shot Mr. Ottley. Mr. Pearson said the Crown witness was the real killer. “He said it was an accident. He said he was sorry,” Mr. Pearson said of the man, whose identity is protected by a publica- tion ban. “He said he didn’t know what hap- pened.” Mr. Pearson has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Mr. Ottley, denying the Crown’s theory that he lured the young man to a remote spot on Val- ley Farm Road on the night of Jan. 14, 2008. Court has heard testimony that Mr. Pearson was angry at Mr. Ottley’s having insulted him by making fun of his nick- name. Jurors heard Mr. Pearson got into the back seat of Mr. Ottley’s car with a con- cealed shotgun and fired the fatal blast through the driver’s seat, into Mr. Ott- ley’s back. Mr. Pearson said Wednesday he did have a gun when he got into Mr. Ottley’s car, because he had arranged to meet the young man to sell him the weapon. “He needed protection because he had quarrels with people,” Mr. Pearson testi- fied. Mr. Pearson said he was in the pas- senger seat when the other man got into the car and positioned himself behind Mr. Ottley. Mr. Ottley and the man exchanged insults before a shot erupted in the car, Mr. Pearson testified. “My ears was ringing because a shot went off,” he said. “I was sitting there. I was shaking. I reached out and felt (Mr. Ottley’s) pulse and there was none.” Under cross-examination Mr. Pearson sparred -- sometimes testily -- with pros- ecutor JulieAnn Barrett, who confronted him about the conflicting statements he provided Durham homicide cops in the weeks and months after the killing. Mr. Pearson first told police he knew nothing about the murder and then, in April of 2008 when he was arrested, said a man nicknamed Crisis was the shoot- er. Mr. Pearson acknowledged Crisis had nothing to do with the murder. “I was making things up as I was going along,” Mr. Pearson said of his mislead- ing police. “I didn’t know what to do.” He also refused to tell the Crown where he had stashed two sawed-off shotguns the jury has heard were in his car in the days leading up to Mr. Ottley’s murder. Asked repeatedly by Ms. Barrett about where the guns were kept, Mr. Pearson steadfastly refused to budge. He said he’d been in grave danger if he did. “You don’t live this type of life. You’re not involved in life on the streets,” Mr. Pearson said. “I’ve been in jail for three years,” he said. “I’m not giving up the location and jeopardizing my safety. Because people have friends.” The trial, before Superior Court Jus- tice Bruce Glass and a jury, continues in Oshawa. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20113 AP Over 200 Stores & Services AliaTanJay BCBGMAXAZRIA Costa Blanca Fairweather Gap Le Château Motherhood Maternity Nygård Olsen Europe Reitmans Ricki’s Sears Suzy Shier theBay Tristan Zacks pickeringtowncentre.com Spring Fashion Show Hosted by Lisa Rogers from Citytv’s CityLine.

OPG recently released the results of its 2010 radiological environmental moni- toring program. The company must con- duct the monitoring at each of its nuclear plants. Cammie Cheng, an employee for OPG’s environmental monitoring program, explained to the Pickering plant’s commu- nity advisory council last week that OPG conducts a variety of sampling including air, lake water, beach sand, fish, vegeta- bles, milk and soil to determine the radia- tion dose to residents near the plant. “The public dose at Pickering remains a very small fraction of the legal limit,” she said, adding that the dose for an adult was 1.0 microsieverts per year, which is 0.1 per cent of the legal limit of 1,000 micro- sieverts. “This is equivalent to one quarter of a day of the natural background radiation,” she said, adding the natural background radiation dose is about 1,400 micro- sieverts per year. Ms. Cheng said the dose assessment is conducted for three age groups: adults, a 10-year-old child and a one-year-old infant. The highest possible dose in Pickering is calculated for an adult work- ing in a commercial or industrial setting near the plant, and is considered the site dose. The monitoring is verified by an inde- pendent third party, said Ms. Cheng. The complete report on 2010 radiological monitoring is available at opg.com. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20115 AP Call Now:905-426-8400 Visit GtaCredit.Com For your nearest Location or preferred Language TM Make One Small Monthly Payment For all your DEBTS!

On Sunday, May 29, the annual Walk for Muscular Dystrophy will be held at the Heydenshore Kiwanis Park, Whitby. Registration for participants will begin at 10 a.m., then the walk, wheel, roll, or run event follows at 11 a.m. Those who register early have a chance to win the early bird contest of a Samsung 55-inch high-definition tele- vision. Participants have the choice between a one- or five-kilometre route on the fully accessible route. The day includes activities for kids, refreshments and a visit from local fire- fighters. This year, the event features the event’s community partners, who will provide information and resources along with giveaways. Support helps those in the communi- ty living with a neuromuscular disorder such as Alex Harold, who, along with his family, are this year’s muscular dys- trophy ambassadors. “The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is a chance to feel like we are accomplish- ing something,” said Janice Harold, Alex’s mother. “It brings people together and gives us a focus. We have no control over mus- cular dystrophy but this is a way to feel like we’re doing something, to focus on something other than the tough stuff.” To register for the event, or for more information, visit www.muscle.ca/walk or contact Julia Chernin of Muscular Dystrophy Canada at 1-866-687-2538 ext 153, or julia.chernin@muscle.ca.

The End of Days was predict- ed by American radio broadcaster and min- ister Harold Camping, who calculated that on May 21, 2011, about 200 million people would be raptured, essentially taken up to heaven, while everyone else is left behind. Some took Mr. Camping’s message seri- ously, including New York transit worker Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent his life sav- ings, $140,000, buying 1,000 ads at bus shel- ters warning people of the greatest global earthquake ever, set to hit on May 21. But doomsday fears didn’t quite stick online and instead the predicted rapture provided endless opportunities for quip- ping and sarcasm and tweeters waited glee- fully for the end with iPhones in hand, tag- ging their posts with #rapture. Other trending hash tags included #end- oftheworldconfessions where people aired their crushes or the odd bit of dirty laun- dry. The supposed Twitter account for the Harry Potter universe villain Lord Volde- mort (@Lord_Voldemort7) had a couple of good confessions including, “I am Victo- ria’s secret....” and “I ‘let the dogs out’. It was me.”. The Los Angeles Times tweeted a link to a rapture reading list which included both the Bible and the Kama Sutra, though I expect the linked article got more reads than any of the books as a result of the tweet. And then the anticipation, with this from political blogger David Burge (@iowahawk- blog): “If this rapture doesn’t get started soon, my rental Ferrari demolition derby last night wasn’t as fun as I thought.” Since our friends in New Zealand and Australia entered May 21 before we did in North America, we weren’t too far into the long weekend before we realized the rap- ture might not occur quite as predicted. But folks in North America stayed right on top of the story. This top tweet from @ElPaso411 was nabbed and localized by hundreds: “BREAKING: massive 0.0 earthquake just hit #ElPaso. Reports of #rapturefail every- where.” Comedian Andy Borowitz (@borowit- zreport) had this to tweet about the fail: “Judgement Day minister updates predic- tion: ‘The world doesn’t end this day. Oprah does. My bad, sry.’” And this from a NASA employee: “If only NASA got half the media attention of the #rapture nonsense. We actually do take people up into the sky.” Crimson Hexagon, a social media analyt- ics company, found two-thirds of the hun- dreds of thousands of tweets related to the rapture were jokes, humour or sarcasm, another 10 per cent were criticisms of Har- old Camping and nine per cent were about end of the world parties. Just three per cent tweeted that the rapture talk brought them closer to God or religion. And hey, maybe the rapture didn’t come last weekend, but Mr. Camping is already predicting that the end of the world will come on Oct. 21 and we get to do it all over again. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space.

Go on, take a ride in Durham Region for three important causes Reka Szekely It’s the end of the world as we know it and I tweet fine The open road, sunshine and two wheels are all the ingredients most motorcyclists need to make a good day a great one. Durham Region boasts hundreds upon hundreds of kilometres of scenic, curv- ing and hilly routes that would chal- lenge and refresh bikers of all skill levels. And the somewhat late arrival of spring means there is a lot of pent up energy and anticipation of the riding season. Three local fundraising events taking place in Durham manage to combine the call of the open road with the ambitions of community-minded riding enthusi- asts to raise money and awareness for worthy causes. The Durham Harley Owners Group hit the road this Saturday with their fifth annual Hearts of Gold charity fundrais- er to benefit the R.S. McLaughlin Dur- ham Regional Cancer Centre, an event that has raised nearly $150,000. Then, on Sunday, the Durham Divas rev up for Sylvia’s Ride, their fifth annual fundrais- ing ride to raise money for The Denise House, a facility that provides emergency services and security to abused women and their children. Last year’s Sylvia’s Ride, named after the late Durham Divas president and founding member, raised nearly $5,500. The weekend after that, on June 4, another group of motorcycle lovers hit the Highway of Heroes for a day-long event that will take riders from Canadian Forces Base Trenton (where the repatri- ated remains of Canadian soldiers arrive for the trip into Toronto) to Oshawa. The event is aimed at raising awareness of the sacrifices made by Canadian armed forces personnel overseas, and funds for the rehabilitation of injured troops. All three events officially mark their journey with a celebratory get-together at the end of their respective rides. Residents across Durham therefore have an opportunity for two weeks run- ning to assist local causes. Even if you don’t own a bike, you can travel as a pas- senger to enjoy the fullness of the expe- rience. But you can also make sure you turn out at the ride-ending rallies. There, you can make a cash donation, sign up to volunteer for the day or at future events, drop off non-perishable food items, or just provide moral support. Each of these events offer a day of fun and freedom on the road, but exist because of important needs in our com- munities. They can only be as successful as the participants make it. To that end, we encourage residents to make the effort and participate in some way. It’s an opportunity to help raise funds, encourage knowledge and awareness for abused women, or, in the case of the June 4 event, the sacrifices of Canadian troops. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20117 AP DURHAM CENTRE (Beside Marshalls) ON NOW!ON NOW!

McLaughlin Collegiate complained they were being threat- ened with suspension for wearing “I Love Boobies” bracelets, there is still a lack of clarity on the issue. “We never really banned the brace- lets, we banned the behaviour,” said Mark Joel, superintendent of educa- tion and operations for the Durham District School Board, in an attempt to clarify the contentious situation. Board spokeswoman Andrea Pidwer- becki, however, initially told the media the bracelets -- which are a fundraiser for the U.S.-based Keep a Breast Foun- dation -- were banned because the lan- guage was “inappropriate” for school. Mr. Joel now says students can wear them at school “as long as they’re not distracting from education.” However, he also said individual teachers or school administrators have the authority to ask students to remove or cover the bracelets if they find them offensive, noting each high school sets its own dress code. “If people are spending their time gig- gling over them or flaunting them ... it’s a problem,” Mr. Joel said. “The bracelets as they are, are not considered offen- sive, but sometimes it’s hard to sepa- rate the bracelet from the behaviour.” Local students posting on Facebook groups dedicated to the issue are still reporting that they are being asked to remove the bracelets. METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- Students at several Durham schools have had problems when wearing these bracelets to school. From page 1 Since the structure burned down, Mr. Park has been running his business in a temporary location near- by. “I’m glad we were able to find a way to accom- modate him in the interim at a temporary location,” said the City’s planning and development direc- tor, Neil Carroll. Although the building was not a heritage prop- erty, Mr. Carroll explained shortly after the fire the building was still signifi- cant, noting the intersec- tion of Old Brock Road and Central Street is an important corner. “It was a prominent building,” he said. The City’s committee of adjustment accepted the plans in late Decem- ber of 2010 and Mr. Park received the building per- mit this month. It was a long process as he had to go through a number of channels, such as the Region of Dur- ham’s health department and City and Regional committees, for approval before construction could go ahead. “It’s been kind of hard,” he said. “But the commu- nity has been very sup- portive.” Mr. Carroll is pleased with the building plans. Although it’s not a com- plete replica of the old building, it will have a similar concept and be built with various types of material including brick. The two-storey building will house the store on the bottom floor and two apartments on the second floor, just as before the fire. It will be set further back from the street than the original for safety rea- sons. The City supports the mixed-use building and the walk-to convenience it provides, which benefits health and the sustain- ability of the neighbour- hood, he said. “From the City’s per- spective, it was very important to retain this kind of use,” he said. “It’s a community focal point.” Mr. Park can’t wait to get back to business as usual. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 20119 P *$2 (up to a maximum of $2 million) will be donated on your behalf for every $1 donated at a Canadian Tire store.

Construction is underway now. We have been waiting for a long time. Claremont General Store owner Daniel Park durhamregion.comThis Week • May 26, 201110 AP Such vivid scenes of raging waters, boats floating down flooded streets, and bulldozers carving breaks in levees filled TV screens in recent weeks that it seemed much of Cana- da was being washed away. All that rainwa- ter has to go somewhere, and I watched with horror and fascination the aerial views of riv- ers flooding farmers’ fields, the closeups of homeowners frantically piling sandbags. So it was with keen interest that I boarded the VIA train in Oshawa last Friday, head- ing to Montreal for the weekend. My win- dow seat gave a good view of every stream and river we crossed heading east along Lake Ontario, and the trip became an inspection tour of water levels in a very rainy spring. While modern road bridges have concrete sides you can’t see over unless you’re driving a great big SUV, railroad bridges don’t have those barriers, and passengers have a pan- oramic vista of the puddles in fields, welcom- ing flocks of migrating black-bellied plovers and other shorebirds. They have views of the standing water in wet woods, rivulets cutting across pastures, creeks pouring over weirs. I’d never thought about how many streams drain into the lake, and was surprised to find one every mile or two -- some so narrow you could leap across, others as wide as the Trent or the Moira. No wonder the water level in Lake Ontario is so high right now. And no wonder the Saint Anne rapids were so dra- matic as we crossed the Ottawa River onto the island of Montreal. I would have loved to see the famous Lachine rapids in full flood. Rain was forecast all weekend, but we ended up with glorious sunshine by day and showers by night. I was intrigued to find migrating warblers in the leafing-out maples on the Concordia campus-black-throated greens and Tennessees moving north up the side of Mont Royale and beyond. Chimney swifts were diving and twittering across the skies above Westmount and other old parts of the city where brick chimneys still provide nesting sites for these voracious insect eaters. Half a block from Rue Saint Catherine I could swear I heard a merlin calling. By the time I took the train home on Sun- day evening the fields looked much drier, and a few farmers were out working them. The May long weekend has always been the official plant-your-garden time, the date when it’s finally safe to put out tomatoes and petunias without risk of losing them to frost. The soil in our garden was moist and crum- bly on Victoria Day as my husband and I planted beans, salad greens and zinneas, just in time for a thunderstorm to water them.

The photo of Fee running through some greenery, ears flopping as he went, spoke volumes of the little guy’s personality. “He loves just about everything. He’s running around in the dandeli- ons right now,” his owner laughed in the phone interview. His win will put him on packag- ing for Bissell’s Steam and Sweep, as well as $1,000 to the charity of his owner’s choice. Ms. Wright has cho- sen Pugalug Pug Rescue, the pug res- cue group from which she adopted Fee. “I’m really, really glad that Bissell is sponsoring these kinds of contests as well as raising awareness of the groups,” said Ms. Wright. Ms. Wright and her husband David Jones took in Fee as a foster pet when he was just a puppy with a long list of health problems, including a rup- tured cornea, probably due to a breeding issue. “He was in emergency state when we first got him,” she said. He also appears to have dwarfism. “As a result, he looks like a puppy even though he’s three-and-a-half years old,” she said. Ms. Wright always had big dogs, and a real soft spot for German Shepherds. “For years our daughter lobbied us for a pug,” she said. “We met one in a park and that was the end of it.” It turns out pugs are smaller in size, but huge in personality. “He’s just an amazing dog. Everyone in the house falls in love with Fee,” she said. She loves them so much that she’s now a coordinator for Pugalug. Visit www.pugalug.com to learn more about pugs and the rescue group. FUNDRAISER The Purina Walk for Dog Guides takes place across Canada on Sunday, May 29. The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides holds the walks annually to raise money to help train Dog Guides for Canadians with visual, hearing, medi- cal or physical disabilities. Walks will be held across Durham Region, including Grass Park in Brooklin, Claremont Community Centre, Rotary Park in Ajax, Courtice Community Centre, and Elgin Park in Uxbridge.

SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Fee the pug is a winner of the BISSELL Most Valuable Pet photo contest. As part of Fee’s prize, he will star on the pack- aging for BISSELL’s Steam and Sweep and he and his owners will receive $1,000 to donate to their pet charity of choice.

This superior technology is the only wireless hearing aid system to offer ear-to-ear communication, wireless programming, and wireless media streaming without any relay devices. Wireless technologies in hearing aids mean added convenience, enhanced signal processing performance, and offer media connectivity. The IRIS Technology leverages the 900 MHz band within the Industrial and Scientific Medical Spectrum to accomplish a unique combination of near-field and far-field wireless communication. The WireLESS hearing devices are Brand New for people who have trouble hearing television or any other audio media sources such as radio or computer. These devices allow for effortless listening with no wires attached; they are completely wireless. The devices stream stereo sound directly from the audio source, example the TV, to your devices, at a volume comfortable for you, and, those around you can listen at the volume that’s most comfortable for them. The devices are small and cosmetically appealing, rendering them virtually invisible to others. HEAR MORE with LESS, Go WireLESS! On May 4 th, Lila O’Neill, Audiologist, and her Team of Hearing Healthcare Professionals offered a FREE Hearing demonstration at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ajax to over 100 people in attendance. “This has never been done in Durham; In fact, this has never been done in Ontario” stated IamhavingtroublehearingmyTV… Myfamilysaysthatthetelevisionisontooloud… IwearhearingaidsbutIstillcannothearmyTVwell… Left to Right. Amit Sahgal, Sailaja Timmaraju, Lila O'Neill, Brigitte Giroux, Renee Giroux, Lesley Goverdy and Guy Giroux. Several other staff members missing were working at the Clinics. Lila O’Neill, Audiologist and Founder of the Ajax–Pickering Audiology Clinic, the Whitby Hearing Centre and Bayly Audiology Services. “Over 70 people actually wore the Wireless device and had the opportunity to hear for themselves the difference that an advanced wireless technology can provide.” Added Ms. O’Neill, “Hearing is Believing, and this is why we wanted to do this presentation.” Starkey Canada’s Field Audiologist and Trainer for the province of Ontario, Karen Emrich, explained that “Many people complain they cannot hear their television, and even many cannot hear their television even with their current hearing aids. Others complain as well. For example, family members complain that the TV is on too loud, or neighbors are upset over the loudness of the TV next door”. This system can be adjusted to fit the comfort loudness levels for all in the same living quarters as well as the neighbors. Keynote speaker, Sheila Northover from Newcastle, ON, who herself has a long standing hearing loss and is an experienced Hearing Aid wearer told the audience that after wearing this device for about a month, she realized that these were “not ordinary hearing aids”. Mrs. Northover remarked that “I have heard TV CLEARLY and for the first time without wires, without captioning and it didn’t matter where I was in my bungalow. When I went to the fridge, I could still hear my TV Program Dancing with the Stars.” Mrs. Northover also informed the group that she had gone to the theatre at Niagara-on-the-Lake with her daughter, getting up at 5:00 a.m., returning home around 11:00 p.m.. “After wearing my hearing aids for 17 hours, I took them out, and realized for the very first time in my life, I was not tired of wearing these hearing aids like all the others that I’ve had in the past.” Before she explained, she could not wait to remove her hearing aids at night. Sheila has worn hearing aids for the better part of 60 years. When asked by one person in the audience, how clear were they?, she responded that these were the clearest hearing aids that she had ever tried. Starkey Canada’s Executive Director, Mr. Jason Toone, also attended the event and spoke to the group. Not only is he Starkey Canada’s Executive Director but he also is the Director of the Starkey Hearing Foundation of Canada.Jason has had Karen Emrich Over 100 in attendanceSheila Northover ADVERTISEMENT durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201115 AP ADVERTISEMENT the privilege of participating in several missions over the past 7 years that have taken them to El Salvador twice, Egypt, Turkey, Panama, Kingston Jamaica, Guatemala, and Mexico. More recently, this past January, they were in Kenya. He presented a Video on his Canadian Hearing Mission Team which has successfully fit over 11,000 children and adults,“…bringing the gift of hearing to those who otherwise would go without.” Audiologists Amit Sahgal and Sailaja Timmaraju explained that these hearing aids fit a number of hearing losses, from those who are mild in nature to those who have severe types of hearing losses. Some people with mild hearing losses can hear their TV but cannot understand and miss out on the punch lines”, added, Audiologist Renée Giroux, “always asking their spouse “what did they say?”. Hearing Instrument Specialist Brigitte Giroux explained that the hook up to the TV is one simple step and then forget it. The person does not need to wear any wires, any cables, and Brigitte reiterated “that is what is meant by wireless- No wires.” The whole event took only 3 hours to complete from start to finish and included fitting over 70 people with the Wireless devices, to listening to several speakers, and enjoying lunch served by the Hilton Garden Inn. After lunch, people were treated to a live demonstration of streaming 2 media sources: Radio clips by CKDO with Terry Johnston recorded on an iPad and to various TV clips including some sports, some CSI and even some Royal Wedding segments in a mini-theatre type setting. The comments by most in attendance were remarkable in that they couldn’t believe how clearly they were hearing these 2 audio media sources, being the iPAD radio clips and the TV’s DVD of various programs. The event closed celebrating May as HEARING AWARENESS MONTH with a Draw, a paid Caribbean Cruise for two. The lucky winner was Mrs. Harriet Salmers, from Pickering. Congratulations!

JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Students arriving for classes at their Oshawa high school Tuesday morning were presented with a stark reminder about the choices facing them this prom sea- son. Lined up at the front entrance of Monsignor Pereyma Catholic School were a police cruiser, a taxi, an ambulance, a tow truck and a hearse, representing the potential options for a ride home for those who drink or use drugs while cel- ebrating their graduations. The display was designed to encourage young people to choose their ride, said Kelly Ng, health promoter with the Youth Centre, a member agency of the Durham Youth Drug Awareness Commit- tee. “We’re trying to raise awareness among students around making decisions on safe and sober driving and riding choices,” Ms Ng said. “It’s going to prompt thinking and awareness.” The display at Pereyma was one of three planned for Durham schools as prom season approach- es. Ms. Ng said several community partners helped make the event possible. It’s hoped the display will leave an indelible image on the minds of young people as they approach prom season and the carefree days of summer, she said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201116 AP SAVE $1200 $1699 REG. $2899 ITALSOFA Trieste all-leather sectional in walnut PLUS 25% OFF Other ITALSOFA furniture Off our regular prices.

Yanch Trustee “Let’s find solutions together” www.jamesryanch.com We want to know your favourite destination KERRI KING DURHAM -- Last week, the Consul Gener- al of India, Preeti Saran, came to Durham Region for a tour. Stops included Ocala Winery in Port Perry and Parkwood Estate in Oshawa. Mrs. Saran told me that when she hosts Indian dignitaries, she takes them to Niag- ara Falls. But after touring Durham Region, she is going to change that. “Never did I realize that Durham Region has such beautiful countryside and historic estates,” Mrs. Saran said. “Now I will have to take my guests to enjoy the rolling farmland and fine cultural places here in Durham.” If Mrs. Saran thinks our region is worthy of showing off to those who live outside of this country, why is it that so many residents of Durham Region travel to other areas of Ontario for day-long, overnight and week- end vacations? So often we overlook what is waiting for us in our own backyard. In Durham Region, we have a healthy mix of urban and rural communities offering up unique experiences. From flavourful culi- nary experiences and action-packed spec- tator sports, to a vibrant arts and culture scene and picturesque countryside, there is so much to see and do. You don’t need to travel hours to get away. Durham Region is full of little gems where you can feel like you’re days away from home without blowing your budget, while supporting the local economy. In this column, I hope to shine a light on those little gems. I will share day trip and overnight stay ideas, special events, culi- nary experiences and all the discoveries I make in between. As a mom to two young boys with an appetite for adventure, I’m always on the lookout for family experiences. At this time of year, farms across the region are open- ing their doors to the public to offer inter- active family activities and tasty, fresh food. It’s fun to watch the boys learn where their food comes from. I’d love to hear about your favourite desti- nation in Durham Region. Whether it’s your favourite restaurant, fishing spot, stretch of trail or art gallery, I want to make Durham Region’s best-kept secrets my worst-kept secrets.

S.C. -- When most athletes leave the comfort of home and head down south on scholarship, family and friends are left behind. That wasn’t exactly the case this year for Limestone College freshman Todd Nakasuji. Not at all, actually. The Ajax native headed down to the Gaff- ney, South Carolina college looking to estab- lish himself on the NCAA Division II lacrosse scene, while at the same time sister Melissa Nakasuji was winding down her days at Lime- stone, finishing up as a senior with the wom- en’s lacrosse program. Having the ability to connect with each other on campus, some 14 hours and 1,300 kilome- tres from home, was a unique experience for both. “My brother and I get along really well so it’s been nice having him here and I could keep an eye on him for his freshman year,” 21-year-old Melissa said with a chuckle. “I am not sure if he liked it so much, but it’s been nice having him here.” Todd, meanwhile, is looking forward to the little bit of freedom that will come with his sis- ters’ graduation and impending return home to attend teacher’s college at UOIT. Though he does admit it wasn’t all that bad having big sis- ter look over his shoulder while he adjusted to his new surroundings. “We’ve always got along, we don’t really fight,” he explained. “It’s good getting along with her and it was good having her down here, but when she is gone after this year, it’ll be nice getting a bit of independence. “She liked harassing me a bit about it and joking about it. It wasn’t bad,” he added. And while both were enjoying their expe- riences off the field, the men’s and women’s teams they played for had plenty of success on it. Melissa, a 5-foot-2 defender helped her team compile an 18-2 mark and reach the NCAA final, where they would fall to undefeated defending champion Adelphi. Todd, meanwhile, contributed to a stacked Limestone offense this season playing behind the likes of Bowmanville’s Shayne Jackson and British Columbia native Riley Loewen, two of the top attackmen in Division II lacrosse. The men’s was one of the favourites all sea- son long and reached the Final Four as the sec- ond ranked club before also falling to Adelphi 14-11 this past weekend. Nakasuji, a 5-foot-9 attackman who turns 19 next month, said the key to their success was dedicated work on the practice field. “Hard work in practice, mostly. We’re always pushing each other and going hard at each other every day,” he said when asked about the elements involved in the Saints’ impressive season. Meanwhile, as the younger Nakasuji has plenty to look forward to over his next few sea- sons at Limestone, Melissa has begun to reflect on what turned out to be one of the best expe- riences of her life in attending the small south- ern school. “I’ve definitely been lucky to play lacrosse and get my degree,” she said. “I don’t think I would have liked just going to school. And making a lot of really good friends over the last four years. Limestone is a really small school, so you definitely get to know everyone real well, even your professors. “I kind of didn’t know what to expect at the beginning. It was just a whole new experience and it was awesome. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.” SUBMITTED PHOTOS LIMESTONE -- Ajax native Melissa Nakasuji (left) recently finished up her senior season as a field lacrosse player at Limestone College. Her younger brother Todd, meanwhile, is a freshman at the same school. It’s all about the family for Nakasuji’s at Limestone College SWIMMING Ajax Aquatic Club coach Matt Bell summoned by Swimming Canada AJAX -- As many of his athletes continue their success in the pools, Matt Bell is receiving a little due rec- ognition of his own. The head coach of the Ajax Aquatic Club was recently chosen to serve on Swimming Canada’s 2011 North American Challenge Cup coaching staff. The team will compete against Mexico and the United States in a tri- meet format Aug. 4-6 in Puerto Val- larta, Mexico. Bell, a former Whitby resident currently residing in Ajax, and AAC swimmers are no strangers to the North American Challenge Cup. This is Bell’s second consecutive coaching selection, while swimmers Julian Monks, Michelle Fleming and Zach Fedak have all won gold medals in past seasons at this meet. Fedak and Monks have set records in previous installments of the meet, one of which still stands, while Bell has placed athletes on the NACC team every season since 2006-2007. SWIMMING Pickering swimmers get ultra test at Grand Prix event NORTH CAROLINA -- The Pickering Swim Club had two athletes who qualified for the 27th Annual 2011 Charlotte UltraSwim meet in Charlotte, North Carolina. They swam at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center in downtown Charlotte. This was the sixth stop of the Grand Prix series that is managed by USA Swimming. Emily Mayer (14 yr.) swam three events (50 Freestyle, 28.14; 100 Backstroke, 1:06.47; 50 Backstroke, 31.19) broke two club records (Female 13-14, 50 backstroke and 100 Back- stroke) and made a Sr. National cut (50 Backstroke, 31.19). She will compete at the Sr. National Championships in Pointe Claire, Quebec, from July 21–23. Hollie Smith (16 yr.) swam three events (100 Breaststroke, 1:15.78; 200 Breaststroke, 2:43.44; 50 Breast- stroke, 34.68). The next meet that these athletes will compete at will be Age Group International, June 2–5 at the Etobi- coke Olympium. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 26, 201120 AP FREE JUNIOR GOLF CLINIC PICKERING PLAYING FIELDS JUNE 4 TH BRING ITEMS FOR FOOD BANK • Ladies Clinics start June 1st • Jr. Clinics every Saturday am -$15 Call today to reserve space Certified Teaching Professional Bill Bath 905-767-4653 Ajax can’t catch up in 9-6 loss BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com KITCHENER -- The Ajax Rock couldn’t get a lead, and the end result was that they couldn’t get a win either in their Major Series Lacrosse opener on Tues- day in Kitchener. The Rock trailed through- out the game, 2-0 off the start before tying it up early in the first, but that was the only time the teams were even on the scoreboard the rest of the way, as the Rock fell 9-6. “We couldn’t get a lead,” said Rock GM/head coach Paul St. John. “Kitchen- er has a little more expe- rience than us and some players who have played in the NLL. Our inexperience showed last night. We had a lot of new faces in the line- up.” Two of the new faces were actually recognizable, as the club swung a game day deal with Kitchener, sending Bryan Johnson to the Kodi- aks in exchange for Tra- vis Bland and Ryan Tower. Both Bland and Tower were with the Rock at the start of last season before being dealt to Kitchener. Bland made an imme- diate contribution, scor- ing once and adding three assists for the Rock, who trailed 5-3 after the first period and 8-5 through two. Last season’s leading scor- ers, Jesse Guerin, who was first on the team, picked up where he left off with three goals and two assists, while Jason Mainer, who finished second, had a goal and five helpers. Brandon Collins had the other goal for the Rock. St. John praised the efforts of a couple of newcomers, including Eric McDermott, who was called up from the Ironheads Jr. B team based in Ajax, and rookie Bryan Neufeld, who was taken 12th overall out of St. Cath- arines in the MSL draft. “His stats may not show it, but he had a terrific game for his first game in Major,” said St. John of Neufeld, adding he had a highlight reel goal called back on a crease violation and could have easily finished the night with a pair of mark- ers. The Rock were also work- ing with a short bench with only 17 players, and were down another when Tyler Harris left early with a neck injury that St. John felt would be OK within a cou- ple of days. While the end result wasn’t what he was look- ing for, St. John came away from the game with a good feeling going forward. “We haven’t had enough bodies out at practice yet to work on some systems. We’ll get better over time,” he said. The Rock will be back in action on Sunday when they host the Brampton Excelsi- ors in the home opener at 7 p.m. at the Ajax Communi- ty Centre.
