The YWCA is looking for 1,000 men to take the pledge and validate it with a $100 donation to the violence against women and children programs and services. The CAW donated $5,000 during the kick off. Campaign launched to end violence one man at a time PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Violence against women cannot be stopped without the help of men. That's the message at the forefront of YWCA Durham's latest campaign, One Man At A Time, which seeks 1,000 men to take a pledge to eliminate violence against women and vali- date that commitment with a $100 donation. "It is our belief (that) while the vast major- ity of men are well-intentioned and non-vio- lent, the majority of perpetrators of violence against women are, in fact, men," says Lisa Kouri, manager of communications and fund development for YWCA Durham. "For too long, the effort to stop this abuse has been primarily led by women (but) we simply cannot end violence against women without men." YWCA Durham, located at 33 McGrigor St. in Oshawa, is a community based women's organization that provides support to women and their children across the region through various programs and services, including shelter and counselling.

Donations accepted in support of: Defence lawyer says accused didn’t pull trigger in shotgun murder KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Two starkly different versions of the kill- ing of Khristian Ottley were presented to jurors on Wednesday. The defence and the Crown both summed up their cases in the first-degree murder trial of Damion Pear- son. Defence lawyer Brian Ross spent about two and a half hours laying out inconsistencies in the testimony of two key Crown witnesses, saying the differences mean the prosecutors haven’t proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Pearson, 24, fired the shot that killed Mr. Ottley. The killing happened Jan. 14, 2008 in a secluded spot on Valley Farm Road north of Finch Avenue in Pickering. Mr. Ottley, 23, was lured to the site and was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car when he was shot in the back from a blast through the seat. Mr. Ross told the jurors a Crown witness, whose name is under a publication ban, was the one who pulled the trigger. “(The witness) got in behind Mr. Ottley. Disparaging remarks were made and a shot went off,” Mr. Ross said. “There’s no forensic evidence, no video made of what happened in that car.” After the witness and Mr. Pearson got out of Mr. Ott- ley’s car, Mr. Pearson’s ears were ringing from the blast and he “confronted” the man. “(He) said it was an acci- dent.” Following the shooting, Mr. Pearson “severed contact” with the witness, Mr. Ross said. Mr. Ross said Mr. Ottley met the men that night because he wanted to buy a shotgun. His client “is very unsophisticated. He was horrible, horrible,” he stated. The Crown contends Mr. Pearson set up the murder because he was angry at Mr. Ottley for making disparag- ing remarks about Mr. Pearson. One witness testified Mr. Ottley had pronounced Mr. Pearson’s nickname Degaul as De-Gal, which in Jamaican patois sounds like “the girl. “The fact Mr. Pearson would kill his friend because he made fun of his name is so ludicrous,” Mr. Ross said. “Like friends, they teased and disrespected each other. There was no animus between them.” The jurors might not like Mr. Pearson, but that doesn’t mean he’s guilty of murder, Mr. Ross said. “He might be guilty of many things. He might be despicable in your eyes, but he did not shoot Khristian Ottley.” But Crown JulieAnn Barrett argued all the evidence pointed to Mr. Pearson being the one who set up the murder and pulled the trigger. Cellphone records indicate Mr. Pearson’s movements on the day, noting he was the last person to call Mr. Ottley, at 10:19 p.m. on the night of the murder. About 10 minutes later, Mr. Ottley arrived at the scene and then at 10:44 p.m., Mr. Pearson made a call or sent a text message. In the days and weeks before the murder, Mr. Pearson showed off a shotgun to several people, court heard. Peel Region Police and Durham Regional Police on three occasions in the days and weeks after the murder pulled Mr. Pearson over for traf- fic issues. In each incident, police found shotgun shells in Mr. Pearson’s car. “You should not have any reasonable doubt Damion Pearson killed Khristian Ottley that night. He planned it and he executed it,” Ms. Barrett said. When questioned by police, the two key Crown witness- es were consistent in their description of the night, with only minor discrepancies, Ms. Barrett stated. Mr. Pearson has consistently lied about his involvement in the crime, she said, adding he tried on more than one occasion to paint someone else as the culprit. COURTS Closing arguments made in Pickering murder trial COURTS Oshawa animal trainer remains behind bars DURHAM -- An Oshawa dog trainer facing several ani- mal cruelty charges remains in custody in Lindsay. Craig Wright, 42, consented to remain in custody dur- ing a short remand hearing on June 1. He appeared by video link from a Lindsay correctional centre. The hear- ing was adjourned for another week. The owner of FACW K9 Training and Rehabilitation Centre in Oshawa was arrested May 18 after Durham police raided the facility; he has remained in jail since. Complaints from dog owners that their pets had either died or gone missing after being enrolled at FACW prompted the raid. He’s charged with four criminal counts of cruelty to animals. Mr. Wright’s lawyer, Brad Burgess, told the News Adver- tiser in an interview at his client’s May 26 court appear- ance that he intends to enter a plea of not guilty to the allegations, and “he plans to defend this with vigour” on his day in court. Mr. Wright is to reappear on June 8, again via video link at 10:30 a.m. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20114 AP CLEARANCE BLOWOUTCLEARANCE BLOWOUT Saturday June 4th from 8am-8pm Fabulous prizes & giveaways including tickets to seeTheWiggles 75 Bayly StWest,Ajax 905-427-4194 • www.onceuponachildajax.com SAVE UP TO 60%! ®TWO FOR THE SHOW Details can also be found here:www.brooklinspringfair.com See us Thursday June 2nd & Saturday June 4th See us Friday June 3rd LocalveteranmusiciansRobTyler&AllanMackay ”TwoForTheShow”returntotheBrooklin Spring Fair with there dependable arsenal of hilarious antics and killer song list.

Police responded to Hibbard Drive at 11:55 p.m. on Monday after a resident reported seeing three men prowling in a nearby backyard with flashlights. Officers didn’t find the suspects right away, but about 45 minutes later stopped a taxi to investigate two men inside. One man ran and was caught after a foot chase, while the other man inside the cab was found to be armed with a handgun. Police conducted a follow-up search on Tuesday during daylight hours in the Mother Teresa Catholic School area of Fishlock Street and found a converted 9 mm starter pistol near the school proper- ty. Sandy Ako, 18, of Mascot Place in Toron- to and Andre Dunrod, 18, of Jane Street in Brock face numerous firearms-relat- ed charges and are further charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession contrary to pro- hibition order.

More than 100 abused women and their 72 children escaped abuse while staying at the Y's WISH shelter. On average, Durham Regional Police Ser- vices attend to 5,000 domestic related calls per year -- that's about 13 per day. "This is a complex social, cultural and com- munity issue that requires government and other community support agencies to con- tinue to ensure that the required support and intervention mechanisms are in place to assist those that have been victimized by vio- lence and abuse," said Deputy Police Chief Scott Burns at the campaign's official launch on May 31. "It's my privilege to express our collective support for this important cam- paign and to raise awareness that domestic and relationship violence continues to be a serious issue in Canadian culture." The One Man At A Time campaign was cre- ated to encourage everyone, regardless of age or gender, to join efforts to put an end to men's violence against women and children. "This campaign supports a network of women and men in all communities around the world in their efforts to defy destructive stereotypes, embrace equality and inspire men and boys everywhere to speak out against violence," says Chris Buckley, presi- dent of Canadian Auto Workers Local 222 and volunteer leader of the campaign. Mr. Buckley got the ball rolling on the cam- paign with a donation of $5,000 on behalf of the CAW. YWCA Durham's goal is to receive 1,000 val- idated pledges by March 31, 2012. All money raised will go toward violence against women and children programs and services, includ- ing Y's WISH Shelter.

Although still one of the healthiest of Toron- to’s six watersheds, the Rouge is showing signs of stress due to past land use practices and population growth. Organized by Toronto and Region Conser- vation, Rouge Days is aimed at bringing the community out to discover and connect with the natural treasures located in their own backyards and get people involved with pro- tecting, enhancing and celebrating the water- shed. The event includes four days of activities in communities across the watershed, includ- ing Markham, Toronto, Stouffville, Unionville and Pickering. Pickering residents can celebrate the Inter- national Year of Forests and help restore nat- ural habitat along the waterfront trail at a Community Tree Planting on Friday, June 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the waterfront trail. Partici- pants can meet at the trail’s western gateway off Bella Vista Drive. For more information or for a schedule of events: VISIT www.rougedays.ca.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions With the winter weather finally gone, many of us are busting out the summer clothes and filling up our social calendars. Whether it’s grabbing a drink on a patio, signing up for a house league softball team or shopping in one of Durham’s downtowns, we’re all out socializing. And popular loca- tion-based social networks like foursquare and Facebook Places make it easier than ever to catch up with friends. Both allow users to check in via their smartphones with the press of a button and let their Twitter friends and Facebook followers know where they are. I can also add friends and set my options to allow pushes for selected friends which means my cellphone will ding when some- one checks in somewhere. Location-based social network tools are fun for a variety of reasons. It makes it eas- ier to run into friends. For example, check- ing in at a summer concert venue or Jays game may mean unexpectedly running into friends who you didn’t know were attend- ing.It’s also a bit of a status thing. Check in at swanky places to leave your friends green with envy. For those who aren’t that interested in being seen, using foursquare and Facebook Places is a good way to find places to go in the neighbourhood. For example, if you’re looking for a cup of coffee, foursquare can list nearby coffee shops and tips from users will let you know if there’s someone who makes a particularly killer mochaccino, whether the biscotti is worth trying or if there’s free wi-fi. It’s also an increasingly good way to find deals. Some businesses have set up spe- cials, such as the mayor’s special. At many Starbucks locations, the mayor can nab a free cup of coffee and the special is also available at Coffee Culture in Whitby. Other specials could include a free gift after a certain number of check-ins -- the Oshawa Centre has one -- or a discount after a certain number of visits. At one time those little coffee punch cards where you bought 10 cups and got the 11th for free were pretty popular. My problem was I always lost them or forgot to ask the server to punch it. Now, it’s much easier. Simply check-in with a cellphone and get the deal. For businesses, the incentive doesn’t have to be huge, just something to differenti- ate you from the competition. Fun options include offering up flash specials such as the first 10 or 20 or 100 users who check in get a discount or a freebie. Businesses can use location-based social networks to track customer habits and get feedback. Consistently rude service will be noted by users and managers will be tipped off that they need to re-train staff. The one tip I would have for businesses is if you put a special on foursquare or Face- book Places, make sure your staff know about it. There’s nothing worse than getting a blank stare from a sales person who has no idea what you’re talking about and looks at your iPhone with suspicion. Remember, you don’t have to check in at every place you go, but every now and then it can be a great way to find a local perk. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space.

Oshawa officials have been asked by Seneca College to set aside three lots at Oshawa Municipal Airport for the potential arrival of the college’s respected and popular aviation school, a development that could top $20 mil- lion to bring to the city. Seneca’s exploration east from York Region, where the school currently operates out of Buttonville Airport, comes just a month after Oshawa directed staff to create and propose a package of incentives to lure the non- profit air ambulance service Ornge to the airport. Such developments at Oshawa’s municipal airport would be welcomed, would provide the impetus for the cre- ation of new jobs, and further estab- lish Oshawa -- and the larger region of Durham -- as a place to live and grow. The Seneca proposal, though still in its infancy, is particularly interesting and has great potential to grow. As Seneca’s Daniel Atlin noted this week, Oshawa is well suited to the plan due to its proximity to Seneca campus- es -- especially with the extension of Hwy. 407 in the works -- and could also create opportunities for partnership with Durham College and the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology. The potential for related courses at the college, or formal arrangements with UOIT to expand related subjects of study to include aviation, or aviation technology, for example, are especial- ly encouraging. And, as with the evolution of diploma courses at Durham College, or degree studies at UOIT, expanded post-sec- ondary offerings will further establish Durham Region as an emerging edu- cation innovator and hub, and provide more opportunities for high school students across the region to under- take their post-secondary education studies right here at home. In terms of the local economic boost, Seneca estimates that the establish- ment of its aviation school in Dur- ham will bring 45 new jobs and cre- ate 58 indirect jobs, and will provide new opportunities for local business to explore. These are encouraging develop- ments for Oshawa particularly and Durham Region as a whole. Here’s hoping that officials do all that they can to draw both Seneca and the Ornge air ambulance service and bring a wide range of benefits to the region. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20117 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 20118 AP cityofpickering.com/summer On the fun scale... a perfect 10!

You never know what you’ll find when you get out into nature, but there’s always something interesting, big or small. Last week, for me, it was on the big side -- a mother black bear. Her yearling cubs were half her size. I’ve seen lots of bears over the years, in blueberry patches, on canoe trips, at dumps. I’ve even seen one or two in the sugar bush at the family farm. The big surprise with this bruin family: they were here in Durham Region. The far north of Durham, mind you, but I sure wasn’t expecting them. My husband and I were out bird- ing, standing along a forested coun- try road at dusk, listening for owls. I happened to glance up the road, to spot these familiar dark shapes moving out of the woods. The mom and one cub sat down in the grass, but the other one ran out on the gravel road. They were 100 metres away, but through our binoculars we had a great view. They didn’t seem to notice us at all. Bears are known for their poor eyesight and great sense of smell. It wasn’t two minutes before a pickup truck came along, heading for the bears. We waved and point- ed, and the driver slowed down, proceeding at a crawl. Seeing the approaching vehicle, the mother bear raced off into the bush. The cautious cub stood up on its hind legs, stared for several seconds, then dropped down and followed Mom. Its curious sibling, by now on the far side of the road, ignored everything for the longest time -- typical teen? -- but finally obeyed what was likely its mother’s third and final warning woof. After all the excitement, we spec- ulated on what the family could be finding to eat in the largely agri- cultural landscape. Berries, nuts, ants, eggs and small mammals, of course. They’d be sure to get into trouble if they found any farmer’s beehives and went after the honey. Likewise garbage, another tempt- ing food source for a hungry bear. Roadkill would be an attractive menu item, given all the cars racing up and down rural roads, running into skunks, deer, groundhogs, rac- coons and muskrats. But feeding along roadsides would expose the bears to the same danger. Could the mother teach her young to avoid commuter routes? Whatever she was finding them to eat, both cubs seemed ener- getic and healthy. We hoped they would make it through summer and beyond. And when their moth- er left them to fend for themselves come fall, we hoped they’d wander north toward the woods, not south to the city. Nature queries: mcarney@inter- links.net or (905) 725-2116.

Get your pet spayed or neutered MARGARET CARNEY A mother bear out with her two cubs in Durham KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com When a mother and her three kit- tens were recently dumped at Sec- ond Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, none of them were fixed. But this is nothing new for the charitable organization. Nearly every cat that finds a new home at the Pickering shelter isn’t spayed or neutered upon its arrival, but Second Chance ensures they all undergo the safe and humane sur- gical procedure at the vet. “It really adds a lot of costs for us,” says director Phyllis Healey. She says Second Chance’s vet bills are never less than $4,000 a month, which covers everything from shots to sterilization for the abandoned cats that end up there. “(The procedure’s) one of the most important things you can do for your animal,” she says. “You’re doing it a big injustice not to do it.” A notice on Second Chance’s website says spaying and neuter- ing averts health problems, such as reproductive cancers and infec- tions, as well as behavioural issues such as territorial marking, destruc- tion and aggression. Cats are also less likely to roam and fight, and since spayed females don’t go into heat, they’re not lost or hit by cars while searching for mates. They’re also less nervous and noisy, more relaxed, playful and affectionate. Spaying or neutering means fewer vet bills in the long run since the procedure makes a pet happy and healthy, Second Chance says. The cost is something a new local group says is one of the major prob- lems of pet overpopulation. Barb North is part of Spay Neu- ter Durham, a group in the process of receiving its registered charity papers, and working to bring Dur- ham Region its first low-cost spay/ neuter clinic. The alliance of res- cue groups has come together to reduce animal overpopulation in a safe and humane way. The aim is to control the crisis through high volume spay/neuter programs, combatting practices of euthanasia as a means of population control. “There are people in Durham Region who can’t pay the price for spay and neuter,” Ms. North says, adding the procedure can cost near $300 for cats and $500 to $600 for dogs. The Ontario Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals’ web- site says the overpopulation crisis is a result of animals left unaltered. Ms. North explained the average female cat can produce three litters of four to six kittens annually. “In seven years one female cat and her offspring together can pro- duce 420,000 cats,” she says. The average female dog can pro- duce two litters every year and the average number of puppies is between six and 10, she says. “In six years one female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs,” she says. Ms. North and the group are looking for volunteers to help get the ball rolling. She says a similar clinic in Newmarket cost $450,000 to open.

Here are some facts from spayneuter.ontariospca. ca: • Local cat rescue organizations estimate almost half a million homeless cats living in the streets of Toronto • Thousands of healthy animals are euth- anized in the GTA annually due to lack of shelter space and funding • Spaying and neutering is a straight- forward medical procedure with many health benefits, including the reduction in the risk of developing certain cancers • Clinics utilizing this spay/neuter model in the U.S. have reduced shelter admissions and euthanasia by up to 70 per cent • Data collected at these clinics shows that 86 per cent of spay/neuter clients have no previous relationship with a vet- erinarian SUBMITTED PHOTO DURHAM -- This litter of kittens at Pickering Animal Services is just one of many that Durham shelters care for at this time of year.

WWW.FOREVERYOUNGNEWS.COM | JUNE 2011 A DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP ADVERTISING FEATURE CANADA’S ADULT LIFESTYLE PUBLICATION FOREVER YOUNG INFORMATION (NC)—As Canadians, we are fortunate to live in a society where caregiving responsibilities are often undertaken by family and friends when the need arises. But have you considered what you will do if you are the one who becomes the caregiver, particularly if this occurs when you are have reached your retirement years? “Planning for the possibility of being a caregiver increases your chances of maintaining a good quality of life, while you’re busy improving the life of your loved one,” advises Lee Anne Davies, head of retirement strategies at RBC (www.rbc.com/yourfuture). “There are some simple planning steps you can take to ensure that your situation is well handled if a loved one – such as a parent or spouse – becomes dependent on you.” By starting now, you can make sure you have all the information you need. This includes banking and fi nancial information, as well as having a power of attorney in place so you have the authority to act should it become necessary. Should the person you care for become incapable of making decisions, you will need to know whether you have the appropriate documents. Also, consider creating a list of key contacts, such as doctors, neighbours, clergy or any other people who can help you when caregiving concerns arise. Becoming isolated is a very real concern, so it is a good idea to choose your community now with an eye to your possible future needs as a caregiver. Are there neighbours and professionals who can help? Is there adequate public transportation? What facilities or services are nearby? And last, but certainly not least, maintain your circle of friends and make time for the other aspects of your own health and wellbeing. This will help to ensure that you are up to the challenge of caring for your loved one. “It may be many years away, but planning now can help to alleviate some of the stresses of caregiving when issues of dependency arise in future,” adds Davies.

If they’re not chasing after their kids, or putting in time at the offi ce, they might be looking after their aging parents or relatives and it can be exhausting. A recent study examined Canadians’ feelings about caring for aging loved ones and found that the majority of Canadians won’t be ready to take on the responsibility. Rather, they expect to feel overwhelmed, if and when the time comes, as they also try to meet the demands of their own lives. “We often don’t think of the impact that caregiving can have on an individual,” says Sue Kelly, a registered nurse and director of health and wellness for We Care Home Health Services. “There are currently seven million Canadians who are taking on the task of tending to a friend or family member in need, and many don’t realize that support is available.” To help relieve the responsibility on families, We Care has published a free guide designed to help both caregivers and those living with chronic conditions. The Get Going to Keep Going Guide provides simple and preventative tips on how to slow down the progression of chronic health conditions, including advice on eating right, maintaining an independent and active lifestyle, and the importance of mental stimulation. Kelly offers the following caregiver tips: Get Involved: Help your loved one remember how good it feels to help others by getting them involved in the community. Doing so helps them keep their minds sharp and induces confi dence that, in turn, reduces stress. Get Happy: It’s no surprise that those affl icted with a chronic condition can experience feelings of anxiety, loneliness and depression. You can help them combat these feelings by encouraging them to stay socially active and to talk about their feelings. Get Familiar: Ensure your loved ones are familiar with their medications and know how to recognize any side effects. Never be shy to inquire with their doctor about test results indicating the effectiveness of their medication or to ask questions about their medication, its dosage or how best to administer it.

The team has been fundraising since April 2010 to pay for an upcoming trip to Europe in December, where it will play friendly tour- naments with teams in Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria. On Saturday, June 4, the team will change tack as it launches a clothing drive for Spirit Renewal Ministries, which aids children in countries including Africa and India. “The guys have worked really hard in fund- raising for their Europe trip, but when we got this opportunity they really jumped on it,” said Steve Parent, whose son plays on the team. “I think they all realize they’re really lucky, not many people would have a chance like they have to visit Europe for two weeks. This is a way to remind them it’s not all about tak- ing, it’s about giving back too.” Mr. Parent organized the fundraiser to help a friend of who is a York Regional Police offi- cer and is trying to fill a shipping container with gently used clothing for distribution to orphans and underprivileged kids in Africa and India. “I said wow, you’re going to have a hard time filling that, why not let us help you?” Mr. Par- ent said. “I’m hoping we can collect a decent amount of clothing.” Members of the Panthers will be going door-to-door in residential neighbourhoods throughout Pickering from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sat- urday, June 4 to collect clothing.

Her career has taken her around the world, in varying forms of transportation, and fame, after winning the British television program Dancing on Ice this sea- son. “It was quite challenging but gratifying. It was a different kind of challenge for me, but it was fun. I loved it,” she says of the hectic schedule the show pre- sented. It was while she was in Myrtle Beach a couple of years ago that she answered a call to audition for the U.K. version of Dancing on Ice, pairing professional figure skaters with celebrities. While she was open to the idea, she had her reservations. “It was nerve wracking for me because I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t think I had the patience to coach.” She was paired with Kieron Richardson, an actor on the soap opera Hollyoaks, and finished third last year. Following the end of the show, she toured with the group. This year she was paired with Sam Attwater from the soap opera EastEnders, and the duo won the show. Placing first was the culmination of five months of work, including training and a live show every Sunday in which the public gets to vote for their favourite couple. Her parents came for a visit, and were witness to how much of a following the show’s stars get. “It’s out of this world,” says Del- court of the attention the show generates. “Being Canadian and from a small town, it’s all new to me. My first year because I was new, I wasn’t noticed in the pub- lic eye. “I felt bad for my parents com- ing down because I couldn’t even walk to the local store without paparazzi in my face. It’s the most popular show in the U.K. Danc- ing on Ice is just massive.” This season, with Attwater as her partner, the following and need for information about the two took on a real life soap opera of its own. A provocative photo of the two in Heat magazine created a frenzy. “When you meet, you spend 24/7 with this person and you obviously grow really close,” she says of the relationship that evolved. “We had such a great relationship. It just became in the public eye and people who watch the show wanted to know more about the relationship aspect of it and not so much the skating side of it. “We decided to focus (on the skating) and forget about the relationship.” The road to the U.K. for the Dunbarton graduate took a cou- ple of different turns. After com- peting at the national level, fin- ishing eighth in the Novice Pairs event with partner CJ Pugh at the 1997 Canadian Figure Skat- ing Championships, she stopped skating for a while to attend col- lege. She bumped into an old friend one day, Nicholas Kea- gan, and the two started skating together, leading to her first show on a cruise ship in the Caribbe- an. “Absolutely amazing,” was how she describes the experience. “To be able to travel the world and do what you love to do and make money doing it, I was in my glory. Being able to meet so many won- derful people, see so many differ- ent cultures and travel the world, I absolutely got hooked on it.” Subsequent shows over the years followed in Japan, Hong Kong and Mexico as she travelled the world. She returned home recently to catch up with family and friends before heading back to the U.K., with a trip to Japan to follow. What follows next she isn’t sure. “I’m not sure where life is going to take me. We’ll see what hap- pens.” JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Brianne Delcourt is an Ajax resident who won the British television program Dancing on Ice with partner Sam Attwater, an actor on the British soap opera EastEnders. BADMINTON Yakura on top of his game at Nationals Pickering resident wins two golds, bronze at meet PICKERING -- Nyl Yakura of Pickering was one of more than 400 athletes, ages U14, U16, U19 and U23 who competed in the Canadian Junior National Bad- minton Championships at the Olympic Oval Sport Centre in Richmond, British Columbia. Yakura entered in U19 singles, doubles and mixed doubles, cap- turing gold in singles and mixed doubles, and bronze in doubles. The first round for singles was a match against Ross Prager from BC, whom Yakura has lost to in the past. Keeping a tough men- tality through the match, he win in two sets 21-12, 21-14. The sec- ond round was a very tough Que- bec opponent, Felix Deblois- Beaucage. The first set was tough 21-18, but the second set went smoothly 21-9. Next was a quar- terfinal match and repeat of last year’s quarterfinal against Henry Wiebe of Alberta. Reversing a loss in last year’s quarterfinals to Wiebe, Yakura won in straight sets 21-11, 21-18. The semifinal presented a match against one of the top play- ers in the country at the senior level, Sergiy Shatenko. Yakura prevailed in two straight sets once again 21-7, 21-17. He clinched the title the following day in the final beating Jason Sun 21-12, 21-18. In doubles Yakura partnered with Nathan Choi losing in the semifinals. In mixed doubles, it was a per- fect year with Christin Tsai, win- ning gold. Yakura is currently training in Richmond, B.C., preparing for the 2011 Canadian Open July 18-22. Then he will be off to Junior Pan- Ams in Kingston, Jamaica from July 24-31. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201118 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 CLOSURES Rain creates havoc with local sports fields SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As far as unpredictable elements go, the weather is generally right up there at the top of the list. Not so during the month of May. It was anything but with rain drop after rain drop saturating Durham Region and much of southern Ontario, among other plac- es. And it was all to the dis- may of local sports organi- zations trying to get their baseball, soccer and other seasons off the ground, and to the groups charged with care and maintenance of the facilities. It was so bad at times that Rob Gagen, foreperson of parks and property for the City of Pickering, insisted he hasn’t seen anything like it. “It’s been an extreme challenge. Probably my most challenging year,” said Gagen. “I’ve been working municipal parks since 1989 and I’ve never ever seen it this wet in the spring.” The challenge for Gagen and his staff is that even during the odd day of no rain throughout the month, it wasn’t always possible to get machines out on the fields to cut. Gagen said parks work- ers -- as they likely are in other municipalities as well -- are instructed to walk the fields prior to cut- ting to determine the level of moisture and if it’s too high they don’t try to ser- vice them out fear for leav- ing ruts with the roughly 1,000-pound lawn mow- ers. That of course plays into the need to close the facili- ties from time to time, and while he didn’t have an exact number, Gagen said Pickering’s closures have come at a higher rate this year. Garry Durnan, area supervisor of operations and environmental ser- vices for the Town of Ajax, knows both municipalities, and others, are in the same boat. “As far as I know, from Pickering right through on over to Clarington, we’re all experiencing the same thing,” he said. “It’s just one of those springs.” Durnan said they have had to close fields multi- ple times in large part due to the fact that, with lit- tle reprieve from one rain storm to the next, playing fields have had little time to drain properly and in some cases have been left in puddles. Because of that, it’s been nearly impossible to maintain the fields to an optimum level. There is some light at the end of the tunnel, though, it appears. Weather this week has taken a turn, with the tem- perature heating up and sun shining down. But more of that is needed. “We’re only really several days, maybe a week or so away from getting every- thing back to the norm,” Durnan said of Ajax’s plight, while Gagen noted a similar time frame within his municipality.

HIGH SCHOOL Pine Ridge athletes impressive at York PICKERING -- The Pine Ridge Puma track and field team turned in some good performances at the 2011 OFSAA Central Regional Championships last week at York University. Pine Ridge sent 25 athletes to the regional qualifying meet which features the top performers from Durham Region, York Region and Georgian Bay. After two days of competition, the Pumas qualified 12 athletes for the OFSAA track and field championships that begin on Thursday at Laurentian University in Sudbury. Leading the way for Pine Ridge were Emma Kikulis and Tia Thevenin, who both finished first in their respec- tive events. Kikulis won the senior girls high jump with a leap of 1.55m and is still undefeated this season, while Thevenin won the girls 80m hurdles in a per- sonal best time of 12.59. She is currently ranked fifth in the province in this event. In the midget boys divi- sion, Keith Euraj placed third in the midget boys 400m in a personal best time of 54.87. Jake Prendergast placed fourth in the 800m, also with a personal best time of 2:08.05, which set a new school record in the process, smashing the old mark by nearly five seconds. In the relay events, Pine Ridge managed to qualify two sprint teams. The senior boys 4x100m team consist- ing of Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Jordan Gill and Jaid- en Brown placed 2nd overall with a time of 43.79, while in the junior division, the girls’ sprint relay team made up of Tenisha Wilmot, Kadesha Thomas, Shemeka Lovay- Philips and Tia Thevenin finished fourth in a time of 52.31 to advance. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 2, 201119 AP 637 KINGSTON RD.(AND WHITES RD.)

The announcement was made on Wednesday that a group headed by legendary Canadi- an racer Ron Fellows bought the storied facility from Panoz Motor Sports Group, which is based out of Atlanta, Georgia. Fellows has partnered with the president and managing partner of Trailcon Leasing Alan Bough- ton and Carlo Fidani, chairman and CEO of the Orlando Corpo- ration. The trio closed the deal on the sale on Tuesday. According to Fellows, it was important, after 12 years of own- ership by Panoz, to get Mosport back in the hands of a Canadian ownership group. “I think it’s vital to be able to move (Mosport) to the next level,” Fellows said, while not- ing appreciation for how the Panoz group rescued Mosport with their purchase a dozen years back. “Essentially we’re a group based in the Toronto area and this is an iconic sports property in this country and we have an opportunity being local to be involved with it on a daily basis.” Fellows said an ownership stake in the track wasn’t some- thing he thought about until getting into discussions with Boughton and Fidani. “I can honestly tell you abso- lutely not,” he said. “Along those lines would have maybe been (getting involved with) a racing team or team ownership, but this is a very cool and very dif- ferent opportunity and obvious- ly something that because of my history, it’s very near and dear to my heart. I really appreciate the opportunity that Carlo and Al have provided me.” The connection Fellows has to Mosport goes back a lot of years, first as a fan then a competitor. He took in his first race at the facility at the age of 11, and after getting behind the wheel of a race car, went on to capture his first drivers championship, first Trans AM Series victory, first prototype sports cars win, three straight class victories in the American Le Mans Series, and most recently in 2010, a series victory in SCCA World Chal- lenge during Mosport’s 50th anniversary celebration season. “For me as a kid growing up in the area, going there to watch races, learning how to race there, had some big important wins there, this is a very very cool day for me I must say. A bit surreal, (actually) a lot surreal.” Talk of acquiring ownership in the track first emerged between the three last fall. Fellows and Boughton had met on a flight to Las Vegas and after plenty of discussions, with Fidani also in the picture, they decided to approach Panoz to gauge their interest in making a deal. Fellows and Boughton then met with the Panoz group last fall and came to an understand- ing that a deal could be reached. Negotiations slowed through December and January, but picked up in earnest soon after a non-disclosure agreement was signed by the parties. “We decided to fast track the negotiations from there to see if we could do it as quickly as possible,” explained Boughton. “Originally we weren’t going to close this year, but it we felt it was in the best interests of all of us to get it done. “We own the track now, as of (Tuesday).” Boughton added that due to an agreement between both par- ties, the purchase amount of the transaction will not be released. While the decision makers at the top have changed, Boughton said Myles Brandt will remain as president and general manager of the facility. Some changes are on the hori- zon, though not necessarily immediately. Boughton and Fellows both stated that discussions will be had on changes at the track, from everything to how to enhance race-day experience for fans, drivers and sponsors alike, to alterations to conces- sions stands, washrooms, camp- ing facilities and much more.
