AJAX -- Plans are in the works for an all-out
water war in Ajax in an attempt to break a
world record for the largest water gun fight.
SoakerFest will be held on June 18 at the
Ajax Community Centre soccer field, 75 Cen-
tennial Rd., and it’s being organized by Matt
Trottier, youth pastor at the Hope Community
Church. The church runs Salvation Army ser-
vices for Ajax and Pickering.
“The youth in Ajax and Pickering are
extremely supportive of the Salvation Army,”
said Mr. Trottier, pointing out youth often
volunteer. “We get so much from the high
schools, it’s unreal, so I really wanted to put
together an event they would enjoy, get a kick
out of and just have a blast.”
Mr. Trottier said he participated at the
world’s largest gathering of saxophone players
in 2004 and thought a world record attempt
would be fun.
“I did a bit of research and found this was
attainable,” he said.

We’re Gearing Up
for the Season!
Residents report
hundreds of fish
washed ashore
near Pickering
nuclear plant
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- There’s no
need to be alarmed about
hundreds of fish wash-
ing up on the shore near
the Pickering nuclear plant
because the fish die-off is
typical for this time of year,
say Ministry of Natural
Resources officials.
On Friday, residents
reported seeing hundreds of
silver fish about the size of a
hand washed up along the
beach in Pickering near the
plant. After looking at pho-
tos of the fish, a MNR biolo-
gist identified them as ale-
wife, said MNR spokesper-
son Jolanta Kowalski.
“It is common for die-offs
of this species to occur in
the spring and early sum-
mer months, mainly related
to environmental conditions
such as large fluctuations
in water temperatures,” she
said.
When the alewife were
extremely abundant in the
Great Lakes, there were mas-
sive die-offs with fish wash-
ing up on the shoreline.
Alewife are native to the
American and Canadian
east coast and scientists
believe they were intro-
duced to the Great Lakes via
the Erie Canal and spread
through the Welland Canal
in the 1800s. Alewife mul-
tiplied and reached their
peak between the 1950s and
1980s when predators such
as lake trout and Atlantic
salmon declined. Pacific and
Chinook salmon were intro-
duced to control the popula-
tions of alewife in the Great
Lakes.
While in this case there’s
nothing to indicate there’s
anything unusual about the
die-off, Ms. Kowalski said
residents can report die-offs
to the MNR by calling the
Aurora district office at 905-
713-7400.
“It would depend on what
they’re seeing, it’s never
a bad idea if it seems like
there’s a lot of fish to contact
the MNR and we can look
into it,” she said.
Generally speaking, if only
one type of fish is affected by
a die-off, the cause is likely
natural, she said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 27, 20113

Pickering fish die-off said to be natural in spring

program
DURHAM -- When a care-
giver gets the call that
something’s happened to
their senior parent, most
aren’t prepared, according
to a study.
To help, Home Instead
Senior Care has resources to
help family caregivers keep
important information orga-
nized and easily accessible.
The Caring for Your Par-
ents: Senior Emergency
KitSM, is a management tool
designed so that family care-
givers can have one master
file with information such as
the names of a senior’s doc-
tors, pharmacy and insur-
ance company phone num-
bers, medications and dos-
age details, allergies and
other important informa-
tion.
“People are not aware
of what medications their
senior parents are taking
and what services are avail-
able to them,” said Proni-
ca Janikowski, profession-
al development coordina-
tor of the Canadian Society
of Consultant Pharmacists.
“They should be proactive
and check what their par-
ents are taking before a crisis
happens. This is why seniors
need a friend, a family care-
giver or a professional care-
giver to look out for them.
They need an advocate who
goes with them to the doctor
to make sure that any chang-
es in medications are fol-
lowed correctly.”

More dog owners speak on animal cruelty case
Animal lovers talk
about experience
at Oshawa training
facility
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Nearly two years
after her dog went missing from
FACW K9 Training and Reha-
bilitation Centre, Janet Grandy
is angered but not surprised by
the animal cruelty charges the
facility’s owner is now facing.
The Keswick resident recent-
ly told the News Advertiser that
her dog went missing in August
2009 while in the care of Craig
Wright.
Mr. Wright, 42, of Oshawa, is
facing four criminal counts of
cruelty to animals, on top of
charges by the Ontario Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. All charges are unre-
lated to Ms. Grandy’s story, and
none of the charges have been
proven in court.
Mr. Wright was arrested on
May 18 and remains in custody.
Police are now looking at a
new aspect of the investigation,
Sgt. Nancy van Rooy told the
News Advertiser on Wednesday.
“Now we’ve become aware
that he may have had previous
identities or aliases,” she said.
On the Facebook page ‘Help
Shut Down FACW K9 Training’,
a number of people allege Mr.
Wright has gone by the name
of Adam Stone in the past, and
say they’ve experienced similar
problems when he trained their
dogs.
Ms. Grandy is one of several
dog owners who have contacted
the News Advertiser to tell their
story since Mr. Wright’s arrest.
In the summer of 2009, Ms.
Grandy’s daughter contact-
ed Mr. Wright after finding his
advertisement on the website
Kijiji, seeking help to control
the barking of their shepherd
mix, Jake, and Pomeranian,
Kodiak.
When the trainer attended
Ms. Grandy’s home to evaluate
the dogs, “he seemed like a very
pleasant man. He really does
know how to present himself
when he wants to."
On July 28, Mr. Wright
returned and took Jake, 12, and
Kodiak, 4, back to his facility,
along with $860 for his services,
rather than Ms. Grandy drop-
ping them off.
Ms. Grandy never saw Kodiak
again.
"It's very frustrating because
we have no closure," she said. “I
mean, my dogs are like my chil-
dren.”
Oshawa resident Jo-Ann Gil-
foy also hired Mr. Wright and
took her dog Bentley, a Shih
tzu, to FACW in south Oshawa
last January.
She said a couple of times she
went to the facility to visit Bent-
ley, and wasn’t allowed to see
him. When she was allowed,
she noticed Bentley’s paws were
raw from the ice and he seemed
scared.
Her mother's Shih tzu,
Kelputz, also spent a couple
of days there, but they quickly
pulled him out after noticing
the problems with Bentley.
Bentley now wears a muz-
zle any time he goes for a walk
and whenever a visitor enters
the home. Kelputz was equally
traumatized after two days of
training, she said.
"No man can ever go near him
now," Ms. Gilfoy said.
The dogs had some behav-
ioural issues before seeing Mr.
Wright, but on a much lower
scale, Ms. Gilfoy said. She was
going through chemothera-
py for cancer treatment when
Bentley entered her life and he
spent most of his time indoors
with her and wasn’t properly
socialized.
"He’s bitten someone since
he's come home," she said.
"He has never bitten anyone
prior."
She sought a lawyer to sue Mr.
Wright soon after she realized
the change in both dogs’ behav-
iour and plans on proceeding.
"I don't know what they did
to my dog while he was down
there," she said. "That's why it
hurts so much."
Ms. Grandy doesn't know what
happened to her dogs either
and has no idea where Kodiak
ended up.
On Aug. 16, 2009, she got a
phone call from Mr. Wright say-
ing he'd taken her dogs to the
off-leash park at the Green-
wood Conservation Area in Ajax
and Kodiak took off and never
returned.
After Mr. Wright took her on
a fruitless search for the dog,
Ms. Grandy began a search of
her own, making the drive from
Keswick to Ajax each day.
She started in Greenwood, but
that was unsuccessful.
"We walked miles," she said.
"It was crazy."
Next, she visited the address
Mr. Wright had originally given
her for the training facility, but
found only an apartment build-
ing and a superintendent who
had never heard of the dog
trainer.
Since Mr. Wright had given
her an Ajax address as well, she
then assumed he was training
his dogs from his home.
She started posting missing
dog flyers around the neigh-
bourhood.
She was soon sued by Mr.
Wright for $25,000 for defama-
tion of character. She counter-
sued him for not reimbursing
her after Kodiak went missing.
In the end, she had to pay
him $100 and he had to pay her
$1,450. She’s received $400 so
far, she said.
Ms. Grandy could see a change
in Jake immediately after pick-
ing him up when she learned
Kodiak had gone missing, but
not the one she’d originally
hoped for.
“You could see a glaze over his
eyes,” she said.
Jake hasn’t stopped barking,
but his owner refuses to get him
help.
Anyone with information
on Mr. Wright or his possible
aliases is asked to call Detective
Mark Morissette at 905-579-
1520, ext. 3617.

OSHAWA -- A Durham Police officer stood at the entrance to the
FACW K9 Training and Rehabiliatation Centre on Waterloo Street last
week. The owner of the centre was recently charged by Durham
Police and the SPCA after a dog in his care died and another went
missing. A dog was also removed from the facility by the SPCA.
He seemed like a very pleasant
man. Janet Grandy, dog

CHOICE
Finding common ground
To the editor:
Re: ‘Yes, let’s do something about that’, let-
ter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May 9.
2011.
A woman wrote in regarding abortion
and expressed her views about the need
to protect human life, urging readers to
donate to local pro-life agencies.
While I acknowledge this viewpoint, I
would like to consider the consequences of
not supporting a woman’s right to choose
and its overall impact on maternal health
care.
A pro-choice opinion should be voiced
that considers the greater implications
of abortion rights. I believe both sides
can find common ground in the abortion
debate with respect to maternal health
care.
Generally, both pro-choice and pro-life
sides agree with reducing unwanted preg-
nancies via education and distribution of
information regarding contraception and
birth control.
But one must consider the broader con-
text and framework within which abor-
tion rights are considered -- women’s and
maternal health care.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clin-
ton asserted at the 2010 G8 conference,
“If we’re talking about maternal health,
you cannot have maternal health with-
out reproductive health, and reproductive
health includes contraception and family
planning, and access to legal, safe abor-
tion.”
I hope Canadians understand and sup-
port this important step forward in wom-
en’s reproductive rights and maternal
health care.

VICTORIA DAY
Mind the pets during
fireworks displays
To the editor:
Every long weekend in our area there are
a number of people letting off fireworks.
I understand that children get a kick out of
them, as do some adults, but I wonder if
the people involved realize the amount of
helpless pets being terrified by the noise.
The pets don’t realize it’s a holiday, they
just know they are terrified and some of
them suffer extremely.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was only one
night, but in my neighbourhood they start
Friday night and continue through the day
Saturday, Sunday and Monday. By the time
the weekend is over animals are stressed
out beyond belief.
I am sure many of these people mean
well and don’t set off fireworks with the
intention of causing any harm, but surely
they could give this some serious thought
before the next holiday comes along.

LOST HEALTH DATA
A ridiculous lawsuit
against Durham Region
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham facing $40 million lawsuit’,
news, durhamregion.com, May 20, 2011.
Seriously, $40 million for information
about a flu shot? Do I care if John Doe got
a flu shot? No. Do I care that if this goes
through my taxes are going to go up even
more than they have to pay for it? Yes.
The invasion of privacy is an issue, of
course -- no argument there. The files
should never have been saved without
being encrypted, let alone allowed to be
transported on a USB key. But the infor-
mation on it is nothing more than what
some businesses sell telemarketers. The
biggest breach is the health card. I am sure
once they were reported, they were can-
celled and issued a new number -- just as
if I lost my wallet. Let’s do something more
productive like create policies so this never
happens again, train employees on prop-
er use of private information and the like.
To clog up an already over-burdened court
system to line the pockets of a greedy law-
yer who put it into someone’s head it was a
good idea is ridiculous.

Registry would address growth of elder care in Durham
Accountability is the new watchword
for personal support workers in Durham
Region and across Ontario.
The Ontario government announced last
week, in marking Personal Support Work-
er Day, that it will establish a new registry,
likely by next summer, to determine the cer-
tification and qualifications of PSWs.
The move is being welcomed by those in
the sector -- along with families who require
the use of PSWs for extended private or pub-
lic home care services -- and comes on the
heels of an award-winning exploration of
the issue by the Metroland Durham Region
Media Group called ‘Situation Critical: The
Crisis in Long Term Care’.
It was in this series that the issue of
accountability among PSWs was a princi-
pal theme raised by those in the profession.
Given that PSWs tend to be the most inti-
mate point of contact with patients -- most
of whom are elderly -- the critical issue
of certification and credentials had to be
addressed. And given our aging population,
the need for standard training and certifica-
tion for all PSWs becomes even more vital.
However, the registry that’s established
must be transparent, accessible and work-
able.
As suggested by Durham PSW Anne Silva,
it should include proof of a criminal back-
ground check of all PSWs, education cre-
dentials, work experience and other rele-
vant information.
In the simplest terms, the registry must be
a forum for everybody: patients, oversight
personnel, active PSWs, and families.
The patients PSWs come into contact
with are generally at their most frail and
most vulnerable. The services they provide
can literally make the difference between
improvement or deterioration in an elder-
ly patient. Their intimate tasks -- helping
patients bathe, eat, take medication, take
oxygen therapy, among others -- requires
official oversight and accountability.
The vast majority of PSWs work diligently
on behalf of their patients. The registry is not
being brought about purely as consequence
of poor levels of care, although there were
some examples of that discovered in Metro-
land’s examination of the issue, but as a
means to establish a measure of control and
choice among those who require the servic-
es of a PSW.
This move signifies the Province’s belief
in the growth of this sector going forward,
and its acknowledgement of the need for a
means to create transparency and oversight
when it comes to the services provided by
PSWs.
Now the work should begin apace in tak-
ing the steps to set it up and have it running
by 2012.

OSHAWA -- It’s coming to the
end of the line for Oshawa-made
Impalas.
General Motors announced
Wednesday that it will be adding
two shifts and about 2,500 jobs to
the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly
plant to build the new Malibu and
next-generation Impala, alongside
the Volt, and Opel Ampera electric
cars.
The addition of the Impala to
Detroit will not impact current pro-
duction at GM’s Oshawa assembly
plant, which will continue to man-
ufacture the current Impala for the
remainder of its contract.
“We’re a long way from any
impact,” said Tony LaRocca, GM
Canada’s communications direc-
tor.
GM is currently not making any
announcements regarding its
Canadian operations, but does
have commitments for Oshawa,
according to Mr. LaRocca.
"GM made clear product com-
mitments to Canada and has indi-
cated that future product alloca-
tions to Oshawa will be assem-
bled on the flex line," Mr. LaRoc-
ca said, and added the compa-
ny just hasn't made any specific
announcements as of yet.
Since August 2009, GM has com-
mitted about $1 billion of invest-
ments to Canada, securing 2,900
jobs and adding hundreds of new
hires, according to a statement
from GM e-mailed by Jason Eas-
ton, corporate communications
manager for GM Canada.
"We have made public Canadi-
an production commitments and
fully intend to meet those targets,"
the statement continued.
GM's Detroit news is part of the
company’s announcement to cre-
ate or retain 4,000 jobs and invest
$2 billion in 17 manufacturing
facilities in eight states, accord-
ing to a press release regarding the
Impala’s addition to the Detroit-
Hamtramck assembly line. GM
will invest $69 million in tool-
ing and equipment to support
the addition of the Impala to the
plant.
“Filling this plant with new work
is very satisfying because GM is
dedicated to helping rebuild this
city,” said GM’s North American
president, Mark Reuss. “We are
confident in the flexibility of that
plant, the excellence of our work-
ers and the great cars assembled
here.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 27, 201110

DURHAM -- The Region of Dur-
ham has implemented a contin-
gency plan for social assistance
cheques because of a possible
postal strike.
Ontario Works clients who
normally receive their cheque
by mail can pick up their June 1
cheque from the Region of Dur-
ham office at 200 John St. W.
located on the main level of the
Midtown Mall.
Cheques will be available from
May 31 to June 3 between 8:30
a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and two forms
of identification will be required.
Even if there is a settlement
between Canada Post and the
Canadian Union of Postal Work-
ers, the June 1 cheques will not
be mailed out.
If a strike does occur and
threatens to impact the distribu-
tion of July cheques, the Region
will develop additional plans.
Ontario Works clients are
encouraged to check with the
Ontario Works office that han-
dles their file for updates, or visit

Walk for
Muscular
Dystrophy
Sunday
Pickering family
ambassadors for
this year’s walk
PICKERING -- Pickering teen
Alex Harold is gearing up for a
walk he’s participated in since
its inception.
He and his parents have been
selected as this year’s ambas-
sadors for the 4th Annual Dur-
ham Region Walk for Muscu-
lar Dystrophy. It will take place
Sunday, May 29 at Heyden-
shore Kiwanis Park in Whitby.
Alex was diagnosed with MD,
which progressively weakens
and wastes his voluntary mus-
cles that control movement,
when he was four years old.
“There’s a chance to help, a
chance to make a difference,”
Alex told the News Advertiser
last year.
The teen is once again the
biggest fundraiser for the Dur-
ham walk so far, bringing in
more than $7,700 to date. His
family’s team, Team Alex, has
raised nearly $10,300 this year
so far.
His mother, Janice Harold,
the chairwoman of the vol-
unteer planning committee,
said anyone can join in the
walk, whether they fund raise
or not, right up until the walk
begins. She hopes more people
will learn about MD and stand
behind the group on its day to
promote awareness.
Heydenshore Kiwanis Park
is located at Water and South
Blair streets. Registration is at
10 a.m. and the walk begins at
11 a.m.
For more information on the
walk or to donate, visit www.

Senior, 91, injured
in fall in March:
Durham police
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Criminal charges
have been laid against a work-
er at a Pickering nursing home
after a 91-year-old resident died
of complications from an injury
sustained in a fall.
Durham police launched an
investigation into events at the
Community Nursing Home on
Valley Farm Drive after a rela-
tive of the resident contacted
them about the woman’s injury.
The senior died April 4, police
said.
Police allege a personal sup-
port worker moved the woman,
an Alzheimer’s patient who
was non-communicative, on
her own on March 21, a viola-
tion of the resident’s personal
care plan and the home’s pol-
icy of using two workers and a
mechanical lift.
It was during the move that
the woman fell and sustained a
leg injury, police said.
The incident was not reported
to supervisors, police said.
Other workers at the home
noticed the injury and on March
23 the woman was taken to hos-
pital in Ajax and diagnosed with
a fractured femur, police said.
She died 12 days later.
Sergeant Nancy van Rooy
said it’s “quite extraordinary”
for police to become involved
in such an investigation, and
credited a family member for
alerting authorities.
Investigators interviewed
several people and met with
full co-operation from nursing
home administration and staff,
police said.
As a result of the investigation
police contacted a worker who
was arrested at the Pickering
police station Tuesday.
Diane Peck, 34, of Pickering
is charged with criminal negli-
gence causing death and failure
to provide to a person under
charge the necessities of life.
Sgt. van Rooy confirmed Com-
munity Nursing Home is the
same institution from which a
68-year-old man went missing
in April.
The man, who uses an electric
wheelchair, was reported miss-
ing at 10 p.m. April 27, and was
located the following day at a
motel in Whitby.
According to information on
its website, the home is operat-
ed by Community Lifecare Inc.
An administrator at the home
could not be reached for com-
ment.
Anyone with new informa-
tion about this investigation is
asked to contact Det. Wyatt of
the West Division CIB at 1-888-
579-1520 ext. 2526.

Clarification
In a May 26 article on the radio-
logical environmental moni-
toring program at the Pickering
Nuclear Generating Station,
the site dose should be listed as
based on the dose for an urban
adult resident, which is the high-
est dose for any critical groups
near the plant.
The site dose was 1 micro-
sievert per year which is 0.1 per
cent of the legal limit.
FROM PAGE 1
The current record is
2,671 people in a water
gun fight and he’s hope-
ing local residents can top
that.
Mr. Trottier has been
promoting the event to
youth, but said people
of all ages are invited to
attend, though he sug-
gested kids participating
should be six or older.
“There will be a family
area taped off for parents
with small children, so
they don’t get stomped on
by the teenagers.”
In addition to a fun
event, SoakerFest will
also support the Salva-
tion Army, with partici-
pants asked to contribute
$2 and a non-perishable
food item.
Mr. Trottier is asking
participants to pre-reg-
ister by visiting gethope.
cc which will make regis-
tration on the day of the
event much faster.
The event is open to
anyone from the GTA.
On June 18, registration
will open at 11 a.m. and
the water fight will hap-
pen some time between
noon and 1 p.m.
“Those under 14 have to
obtain parental permis-
sion, a note from parents
is fine, if their parents are
with them they can just
initial next to their name,”
said Mr. Trottier.
Participants are asked to
bring a two-litre bottle of
water with them to refill
during the course of the
fight.
There will be a water
truck on site for refills, but
Mr. Trottier said that it
might get too busy.
Water guns that look
like real guns will not be
allowed.
Mr. Trottier said he’s
been spreading the word
at local high schools and
the response has been
great.
“When I talk to the
young people at the high
schools, they get really
excited about the event,”
he said.
SoakerFest is also an
official Ajax Home Week
event.

Health department reminds
parents to vaccinate children
DURHAM -- The Durham
Region health department
marked National Immuni-
zation Awareness week by
reminding residents of all
ages to get their shots.
The health department
assesses and maintains an
immunization record for all
school students and chil-
dren in licensed day nurs-
eries. The department asks
Durham parents to report
their children’s immuniza-
tion updates to the health
department to ensure
records are current, and
reminds residents to keep
their own immunization
records up to date, especial-
ly if planning to travel.
Provincial legislation
requires children to be vac-
cinated against diphthe-
ria, tetanus, polio, measles,
mumps and rubella.
To assist parents in keep-
ing their child’s immuniza-
tion up to date, the health
department offers catch-up
clinics monthly through-
out the year for school-aged
children.
They are held weekly in
the summer months by
appointment only.
To book an appointment
or for more information, call
the Durham Health Con-
nection Line at 905-666-

Pickering murder accused fears jailhouse violence
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The man accused of
killing Khristian Ottley three years
ago in Pickering has testified he’s
withheld information from jurors
for fear of violent retribution.
Testifying in his own defence
Thursday, Damion Pearson said
he’s afraid of naming certain
names because he doesn’t want to
be labelled a snitch.
“What happens to snitches in
jail?” defence lawyer Brian Ross
asked Mr. Pearson.
“They get stabbed -- their jugu-
lars slit. Their head slammed in
the door. Whatever it takes,” Mr.
Pearson, 24, replied.
The comment came at the end
of a day and a half of testimony by
Mr. Pearson, who spent the major-
ity of his time on the witness stand
verbally sparring with prosecutor
JulieAnn Barrett.
Mr. Pearson repeatedly denied
he lured Mr. Ottley, 23, to a remote
spot on Valley Farm Road on the
night of Jan. 14, 2008, and got into
the back seat of Mr. Ottley’s car
with a sawed-off shotgun con-
cealed under his arm. He said it
was another man -- a Crown wit-
ness who testified Mr. Pearson
pulled the trigger -- who fired a
shot through the driver’s seat and
into Mr. Ottley’s back.
Thursday morning Mr. Pearson
reacted angrily when Ms. Barrett
once more accused him of being
the shooter.
“I have two kids,” Mr. Pearson
snapped. “What am I doing f---ing
shooting somebody? It makes no
sense.”
Jurors and court observers lis-
tened intently as, over several
hours, the witness and prosecutor
engaged in a drawn-out duel, with
Ms. Barrett repeatedly confront-
ing Mr. Pearson with what she said
were contradictions in his testimo-
ny, and the defendant either testily
denying her accusations or refus-
ing to answer questions directly.
At one point, when asked about
an outburst when he was being
questioned by police in 2008, Mr.
Pearson observed, “Who doesn’t
have anger management prob-
lems?”
“Do you?” Ms. Barrett asked.
“What do you think?” replied Mr.
Pearson, gently rocking back and
forth in a chair in the witness box.
“Do you?” the prosecutor per-
sisted.
“Duh,” Mr. Pearson mocked.
Earlier Mr. Pearson refused to
say what he’d done with shotguns
connected to the killing, hinting he
risked violence from people with
gang “affiliations”.
Mr. Pearson was the last person
to testify at the trial.
It’s expected jurors will hear final
submissions from lawyers next
week before retiring to consider a
verdict.

(NC) - With summer around the corner, you might be getting ready to
tackle an outdoor project, such as building a fence, landscaping or
renovating a deck. Make sure you build safety into your outdoor work
plans and call before you dig.
There’s a network of natural gas pipes, telephone, hydro and television
wires, as well as water and sewer connections that could be damaged
if you dig without knowing what’s underground.
Here are the facts:
• It’s free – Ontario One Call is a free service, offered on behalf of
Ontario’s member utilities, including Enbridge Gas Distribution. Please
call at least a week in advance of when you’d plan to start your project.
After you call, they’ll come out to your property to locate underground
lines, mark them and leave a locate sheet providing instructions on how
to safely proceed.
• It’s the law – Homeowners and contractors are legally required to
find the location of buried natural gas pipes before breaking ground.
Without locates, you could create a serious safety risk for yourself and
others, or be faced with expensive restoration costs and potential legal
action.
Contact Ontario One Call at www.on1call.com or over the phone at
1–800–400–2255. Ontario One Call will need to know when, where
and how you plan to dig and they’ll contact member utilities on your
behalf. However, not all utilities are Ontario One Call members. Before
starting your project, consult your utility bills for any additional calls
you should make.
More information is available online at enbridgegas.com
Build safety into your outdoor project
plans – always call before you dig

Is your home alone?
By Gillian Birch
(NC)—Your bags are packed, the car is loaded or your tickets are in
hand. You’re finally ready for that relaxing summer getaway you’ve
been anticipating all year…or so you think.
In the last minute hustle and bustle of planning a vacation, many Cana-
dians leave their “home alone” and fail to plan for its proper protec-
tion. Empty houses are attractive targets for break–ins, which can be a
real threat for homeowners.
“Planning ahead is essential to ensure that your return home doesn’t
leave you with unplanned surprises,” said Wayne Ross, insurance
expert at Aviva Canada. “The key is to take a few simple steps to make
it look like you haven’t left at all.”
Consider the following tips the next time you are traveling for an extend-
ed period of time:
• Keep it to yourself: You or your kids posting holiday plans or live
updates on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter may
seem harmless enough, but it could alert would–be thieves to an empty
house.
• Get a house sitter: Have someone stay there or have a trusted
neighbour check–in daily. Give this person a key – don’t hide it.
• Set timers: Set lights on timers in different rooms of your home.
• Newspaper and mail delivery: Piled up mail or newspapers
are an obvious giveaway that the homeowners are out of town – can-
cel or temporarily divert deliveries, or have your neighbours pick them
up in a timely fashion.
• Have your yard maintained: Depending on the time of year,
arrange to have your lawn mowed and your grass watered.
With these tips in mind, you can concentrate on enjoying your summer
escape and coming back to your home revitalized. More information is
available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com.

Oshawa Community Museum
hosts exhibit to Aug. 19
OSHAWA -- Before television and radio, vaudeville was a
hugely popular form of entertainment.
For as little as five cents, audiences could watch fast-paced
variety sketches, comedy routines, songs, dance, acrobats,
amazing feats and more, on stages across the country and
North America.
Voices of the Town: Vaudeville in Canada, a travelling exhi-
bition on loan from the Peterborough Museum and Archives, is
on display at the Oshawa Community Museum until Aug. 19.
“This visually stunning, bilingual exhibit recreates the ambi-
ence of an evening at the theatre, complete with a reproduction
ticket booth and kinetoscope (early film-viewing machine),” states
a press release. “Images from the Roy Studio and the authentic
costume of Oklahoma Jack (a sharp-shooting Vaudevillian who
performed with Buffalo Bill Cody) are sure to make this exhibition
a memorable and entertaining experience for everyone.”
Oshawa’s theatrical history is the local focus of the exhibi-
tion, including local theatres such as the Regent, Biltmore, and
Marks Theatre -- owned by one of the Marks brothers who was
once a mayor in Oshawa, Ernie Marks.
View the exhibit Sunday to Friday at the Oshawa Commu-
nity Museum from noon to 4 p.m.
The Oshawa Community Museum and Archives is at 1450

HIGH SCHOOL
Hail to Yale for Kirkham
Durham West Jr. Lightning
opts for hockey on a field
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
COURTICE -- There is little uncertainty in
regards to listing her priorities as Megan
Kirkham prepares to enrol at Yale University
in the fall.
On one hand, the Courtice resident is
extremely excited about joining the Bulldogs
field hockey team and enjoying the sport at
the NCAA Division I level with the Ivy league
school.
On the other hand, there is the academics,
where she will study biology pre-med.
For her, it’s academics and athletics in that
order.
Just how huge is the academic component
you may be wondering?
“Insanely huge,” says the 18 year old, who
played hockey with the Durham West Jr.
Lightning this past season. “My mom is a
secondary school teacher, so obviously aca-
demics are a big thing in our household.
“Honestly, for a female athlete, academics
are going to get me a lot further in the future
than athletics. How many female athletes do
you know get endorsement deals and make
a living playing sports? A good education ...
was very important for the future.”
It wasn’t until Grade 9 at Courtice Second-
ary School that she applied her soccer and
hockey background to field hockey, where
she blossomed quickly. Four years later,
she was short-listed for the Canadian junior
national team, advancing through a summer
evaluation camp in 2010 and into the main
camp this past January.
Although she didn’t make it, she didn’t view
it as a lost opportunity, but rather a compli-
ment to be considered among a group of the
top junior players in the country.
“It was all unexpected even thinking about
being invited to try out for the junior nation-
al team,” says Kirkham, who played ice and
field hockey, as well as rugby at Courtice
Secondary School. “The first tryout was in
August and when I was invited back again in
January I was really excited and surprised to
be honest.
“Of course I was disappointed when I
didn’t make the final team, but it was a won-
derful experience. I was excited to even have
the opportunity to try out.”
Buoyed by the confidence from the nation-
al program recognition, she mass e-mailed
a number of university field hockey coach-
es in the United States and Canada to see
who replied. Her preference was to play field
hockey in the U.S., but failing that, she was
prepared to play ice or field hockey some-
where in Canada.
Timelines were working against her, as Jan-
uary is a little late in the recruiting process to
be sending out inquiries, she notes.
“Most schools said we’re really sorry, we’ve
already filled most of our roster spots, but if
you end up staying back for a year or some-
thing happens to our roster, we’ll let you
know or you let us know.”
There were others who expressed an inter-
est, prompting visits to Yale and Dartmouth,
with a look toward Cornell as well. Taking
everything into account, Yale was the best
fit.
“I loved the campus. It was beautiful,” she
says of the New Haven, Connecticut school.
“Both teams and coaches were great, both
programs and schools were wonderful. The
decision came down to the residential col-
leges at Yale and the semester program ver-
sus the tri-mester program at Dartmouth.”
It was a busy winter, but it paid off. In
addition to the recruiting process, she was
involved in high performance training and
played indoor field hockey with her club
team in Toronto. With the Lightning on the
ice she posted 2-5-7 point totals in 32 regu-
lar season games, adding a pair of goals and
assists in seven playoff games.
When all is said and done, Kirkham hopes
to have Doctor precede her surname. She
plans to follow her four years of pre-med
with another four years for her MD, and
if she chooses to specialize in a particular
field, she can expect anywhere from two to
four more years of schooling.
SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
COURTICE -- Durham West Jr. Lightning player Megan Kirkham will be attending Yale this
fall to play field hockey, with the hopes of becoming a doctor one day. This past season
she had seven points in 32 games in the regular season, and added four more in the play-
offs for the Lightning.RUGBY

MARTIAL ARTS
Karate kids
summer camp
comes to Ajax
DURHAM -- Once again, Street Smart
Defensive Arts is hosting their Summer
Karate Camp in both Ajax and Brooklin.
Due to considerable response in
previous years, Street Smart will be
offering three local weeks of the Karate
Kids program, with two fun filled weeks
in Ajax, and one sensational week in
Brooklin.
No previous experience required.
The camp hosts children ages 5 to 14
years old.
The Street Smart Karate Camp pro-
gram will offer a unique Hybrid Martial
Arts program consisting of traditional
karate, blended with state-of-the-art
reality based self-defence instruction
and anti-bullying techniques, designed
to teach children important life skills
such as balance, coordination, strength,
courtesy, friendship, respect, focus, con-
fidence, teamwork, discipline and fit-
ness.
As well as an amazing martial arts
experience, students will participate in a
variety of different activities, from games
and sports, to age appropriate arts and
crafts. Most of the program will take
place in a fully furnished, full size gym.
Students will be taught skills such
as blocks, kicks, strikes, escapes and
street proofing. Along with self-defence
techniques, anti-bullying strategies, and
stranger danger, participants will demon-
strate their first Kata (forms) by the end
of camp. Every new participant receives
a free white karate belt at the beginning
of the program, and all will enjoy a pizza
lunch or a trip to the ice cream shop on
the final day. Convenient 7:30 a.m. early
drop off and 5:30 p.m. pick-up option’s
are available.

Ajax-based team sets
new standard of success
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
NEWMARKET -- With their recent run of
success, the Ironheads are fully aware they
have a logo on the front of the jersey and a
target on the back.
The target is an invisible one, but it has
hypothetically evolved after a weekend
in which the Ironheads stopped the Clar-
ington Green Gaels streak of 32 consecu-
tive regular season victories dating back
to June of 2009 with an 11-10 victory, fol-
lowed by an 8-7 decision over Kahnawake,
another respected lacrosse club in the Jr. B
loop.
The victories helped the Ajax-based club
make a statement to the rest of the league
that they aren’t the pushovers of previous
seasons.
“We put a big target on ourselves,” agreed
head coach Ron Reed. “We know now that
everybody we play against is going to bring
their ‘A’ game. We know that.
“It’s not walking in and guaranteed two
points against the Ironheads anymore. We
know what we’ve created. We’re going to
try and live up to that challenge. We set a
new standard for the Ironheads this year
and we have to live up to it.”
They found out just how difficult that is
going to be, dropping a 14-13 decision in
Newmarket on Wednesday night to fall to
6-3-0 on the season. The Ironheads were
down 5-0 just over eight minutes into the
game, fought back to trail 5-3 after the first
period and 10-9 after two, but were out-
scored 2-1 in the final five minutes after
pulling even at 12-12 with 6:32 remaining
in the game.
Craig Espinho, an Ajax resident who
worked his way through the West Dur-
ham minor lacrosse program before play-
ing junior, credits the fact that the club is
a close knit group this season as a major
factor in contributing to the success of the
Ironheads.
“We’re like a family on and off the floor,”
said Espinho, a Durham College police
foundations grad who is in his third season
with the Ironheads. “Last year we had a lot
of guys from Markham. This year it’s a lot
of guys from Ajax, Pickering, a couple from
Clarington. We treat each other like fami-
ly.”
Espinho contributed a pair of assists in
the loss to Newmarket. Michael Hart and
Gage Board led the way with five point
nights, each scoring twice and adding three
assists. Other goals went to Dylan Hutton
(3), Brock Levic (2), Cade Zulak (2), George
Jimas and Mike Biergard.
The Ironheads will be in Mimico (1-7-0)
on Friday and return to the Ajax Commu-
nity Complex on Sunday for a 3 p.m. start
against Mississauga (4-6-0).

So peacefully free from pain,
