Built to replace the aging Rouge Hill branch, which was unsuitable for use due to mois- ture and mold problems, the Petticoat Creek branch was officially opened on June 14, 2001. The name was chosen from entries to a public contest, and was inspired by the library’s sur- rounding vistas. “People love our branch, it’s like a little haven,” said Maureen McVarish, manager of branch services at Petticoat Creek. “It’s all windows so you can look out the back and see the ravine, and right now we have beautiful wildflowers growing. It’s like a peaceful little haven in the middle of the city.” NEWS 7 Case closed Ajax barn fire ruled accidental ENTERTAINMENT 16 It’s free to attend Here’s the lineup for park concerts SPORTS 19 Yann has a plan He’s off to South Dakota on scholarship facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham Pressrun 50,400 • 28 pages • Optional 3-week delivery $6/$1 newsstand PICKERING NNews ews AAddveverr titiseserrTHE Friday, June 10, 2011 See PICKERING’S page 9 JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Petticoat Creek Library staff, from left, Maureen McVarish, Amy Mills, Julai Merritt and Monika Miller, geared up June 6 to celebrate Petticoat Creek’s 10th anniversary on June 11 at the library.

JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- They weren’t supposed to do it, but American Express employees pro- vided a co-worker with user names and passwords they used to access the compa- ny’s customer database, a fraud trial cur- rently under way in Oshawa heard Thurs- day. The workers, all of whom were in training for American Express Canada’s customer service centre in 2001, shared their infor- mation at the suggestion of Kuhen Neshan, one of six defendants accused of partici- pating in an organized fraud ring, court heard. Former AmEx employee Kelly Clark tes- tified via video link that Mr. Neshan pro- vided a form for his co-workers to write the information on as they familiarized them- selves with the system. She later learned sharing such informa- tion, even with co-workers, is contrary to company policy. “We’re not supposed to record or write down our passwords,” Ms. Clark said. “We’re supposed to commit them to mem- ory for security reasons.” The Crown alleges Mr. Neshan, formerly of Ajax, was the leader of a fraud ring bust- ed by Durham police last year. It’s alleged Mr. Neshan used passwords obtained from co-workers at AmEx to create fraudulent credit card accounts. Ms. Clark noted under cross-examina- tion that Mr. Neshan circulated the form with the knowledge of an instructor, and that she had no direct knowledge of any illegal activity. Durham police allege Mr. Neshan’s crim- inal activity spans a period between 2001 and 2010 and involves a number of co- conspirators. Financial institutions affected includ- ed American Express, where Mr. Neshan worked in 2001, and CIBC, court heard. Losses are alleged to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Charges against the six accused -- Mr. Neshan, 38, Ramanan Kenegarajah, 36, and Anantha Neeranjan, 34, of Ajax, and Toronto residents Hariharan Nesarajah, 39; Rajitha Kanagarajah, 32, and Jeya Prakash Balan, 23 -- were laid after police executed search warrants in Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa and Toronto on March 3, 2010. Police have compiled evidence of an ongoing and ambitious fraud ring, based on the exploitation of stolen credit infor- mation and obtaining cards using false ID, prosecutor Mitchell Flagg told court. Pro- ceeds from the frauds were used to pur- chase vehicles, high-end electronics and appliances, as well as homes in Durham Region and Toronto, police allege. The six defendants face numerous fraud charges and are also accused of partici- pating in a criminal organization. All have pleaded not guilty. The trial, before Ontario Court Justice Joseph De Filippis, continues in Oshawa. COURTS Fraud suspect sought credit card data durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 20114 AP REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A heritage conservation district des- ignation is on the table for Pickering Village in Ajax. The Town held a public meeting recently on the idea of designating an area surround- ing the Kingston Road and Church Street area between Elizabeth Street and Rother- glen Road and just north of Hwy. 401. The T-shaped area includes parts of several residential streets including Windsor Drive, Sherwood Road, Randall Drive, Lincoln Street and all of Old Kingston Road. Senior heritage planner Christy Chrus explained designating an area as a heritage conservation district includes benefits such as the revitalization of the area, the protec- tion of unique heritage resources and finan- cial incentives in some cases for building upgrades. She explained the process to designate the area, which includes public consultation. However, council doesn’t need approval from the area residents to proceed. Once designated, it would be registered on title for properties and residents would require a heritage permit for upgrades or additions to their homes. Any changes would have to fit with the historical character and architectural style of the area. General repairs, such as fixing loose tiles on the roof, would not require a permit and Ms. Chrus said the Town would have up to 90 days to approve or reject requests for per- mits. “That does include non-heritage buildings, they would be required to submit permits,” she said. An example of a nearby heritage district is the Village of Brooklin which was designated in 2008. Marsha Jones Dooley, chairwoman of the Pickering Village Business Improvement Area, wanted to know what the alternative was to declaring the area a heritage district. “What can happen is individuals can indi- vidually designate their properties,” said Ms. Chrus. Ms. Dooley, who is in the insurance busi- ness, said she looked at how the designation would change home insurance rates and was told homes would be in a specialty category, potentially increasing rates. Ms. Chrus said provincial government information indicat- ed insurance rates would not go up, but the issue could be examined further. Kevin Tyber, an optometrist and business owner on Kingston Road, asked if he’d need a permit to change the windows or the colour of his building. Ms. Chrus said he might. “How do I voice my disagreement with this as strongly as possible,” responded Mr. Tyber. He was told he could fill out a survey on the Town’s website at townofajax.com by May 24. Paul Allore, Ajax’s director of planning, said a heritage conservation district could benefit business owners. “If you want to maintain the character of the Village, you need a plan like this so new developments and additions are in keeping with the character of the area,” he said. That’s exactly why Windsor Drive resident Linda Robinson said she liked what she was hearing. “What I’m hearing is the concept is to nurture and preserve the Village as we have and not have something out of synch and that really appeals to me,” she said. Ms. Robinson said she moved to Pickering Village from the West Rouge area in Toronto after fighting a losing battle against the con- struction of monster homes which changed the character of her neighbourhood. Ms. Chrus’s presentation is available at townofajax.com.

On June 6, the City’s planning and develop- ment committee heard a proposal to create five new building lots on Pine Grove Avenue with minimum frontages of 12 metres, and four lots on Woodview Avenue with side yard widths of 1.2 metres. Current zoning requires minimum frontages of 15 metres, and side yard widths of 1.5 metres. The lots would be created from the division of a larger estate. “We have an interesting situation in this area because if you look along Pine Grove most lots have frontages of 12 metres,” said Grant Morris, representative for the appli- cant. “When we looked at side yard setbacks we looked at types within newer develop- ments in the neighbourhood and many are 1.2 metre setbacks, so we feel this would fit with the neighbourhood. There are also a number of trees on the property that could be preserved, with the balance being scrub and brush.” Neighbours along Woodview Avenue objected to the proposal, stating that a reduc- tion in the side yard widths would change the overall look and feel of the community. Resident Tony Accardi presented a petition signed by 14 of the neighbouring homeown- ers objecting to the zoning amendment. “These lots on Woodview are premium- sized lots, they’re large enough to build what’s required,” Mr. Accardi said. “I’d just like to enjoy what everyone else on Woodview is enjoying, namely 1.5 metre setbacks. When I purchased my home I pur- chased it because I liked the character of the street. The fact that now someone is trying to build four lots not in accordance with zoning bylaws upsets me. I want to preserve what is already on that street.” Another key concern for residents was the preservation of trees. “For 17 years I’ve been lucky enough to look out on a beautiful for- est,” said Carolyne Pascoe, a neighbouring resident. “I know we can’t leave trees where hous- es are going but I don’t want to see them all mowed over. This is not just scrub and brush, this is a forest and I always hoped the munici- pality would keep some trees there since this street is called Woodview.” Although the presentation on the zoning amendment was just for councillors’ infor- mation, the committee did vote to approve a separate request from the applicant to devel- op through land severance rather than a plan of subdivision. The separate zoning amendment request will be brought back to the committee for consideration at a future meeting. CITY Residents oppose smaller subdivision lots in Pickering OLDER WORKERS Positive attitude most important for job seekers To the editor: Re: ‘Older workers’, news article and let- ters to the editor, durhamregion.com. I am an ‘older worker’ and a job develop- er -- new to the job. Yes, it is hard for older workers with much experience and/or education to find jobs but it’s primarily because the Boomers are many and the number of available jobs is more or less the same. It is the way it should be that 30-some- thing women and men are in middle man- agement positions, and it’s human nature to not want to hire someone who is better qualified than you, and makes you feel like you would be bossing your own mother or father around. But, as job seekers you have no alternative but to keep going; you have to find a job and the jobs are out there if people are looking the right way. Having said that, what I do know, beyond all doubt, is that without a positive attitude nobody is going to hire you. Carol Cox Brooklin LIQUOR LAWS Lots of things aren’t advisable while driving To the editor: Re: 'Loosened liquor laws send wrong message' letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, June 1, 2011. The letter writer argues against relaxing alcohol consumption laws because peo- ple might be more inclined to drink and drive (which is illegal). Lots of activities are bad when combined with driving, but fine when not driving. Texting, making a phone call, drinking alcohol, sleeping and writing a letter should never be combined with driving, but are all fine by themselves. Deanne also worries that drinking in pub- lic sends the wrong message to children. It is no worse for children to see their parents drinking in public than it is to see them drinking at home. Tom Willis Whitby CANADA FLAGS Importing symbols of a national celebration To the editor: While out looking around for some Cana- da Day items for the upcoming celebration, I noticed that all of the Canada Day items, from keychains to pins, temporary tattoos, and even our nation’s flag was ‘made in China’. When did we sell out? We are in of the top 10 countries to live in this world and yet we cannot even make our own flag. When did it become more profitable to import our nation’s flag? Why does government not take action now before it is too late? Why do they not help industry to make stuff here in our own town? Should not, at the very least, our nation’s flag be made in Canada? Alexander Kemp Oshawa GOOD SAMARITAN Kind gesture from a teen To the editor: Today I was reminded that the majority of our youth are responsible, caring citizens. I was taking the 4:10 p.m. GO train from Union Station to Whitby. I observed a group of teenage girls sit- ting together near me. Seats are coveted at this time of departure and many passen- gers end up standing for much of the ride home. A lady sat down on the stairs as all seats were full. One of the teenage girls got up from her seat and made her way over to the lady and offered up her seat. I then realized that the lady sitting on the stairs was pregnant. I’m pretty sure that there would be lots of adults who wouldn’t have even considered offering up their comfortable seat -- this young person is a role model for young and old alike.

And we’re fortunate to have a number of unique tourist attractions and festivals, from Parkwood Estate in Oshawa to Pickering Museum Village in Pickering, from Home Week in Ajax to the Uxbridge Celebration of the Arts. But did you know that in addition to enrich- ing the community, these artists and attrac- tions make Durham richer? Durham Tourism does, and it’s on a mis- sion to see how our culture can be integrated into the business environment. Partly to achieve that end, the Durham Tourism Summit and Durham Art of Transi- tion Creative Awards were announced June 7 at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa. Set for Nov. 25 at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, the event is both for tourism industry representatives and the general public. There will be lectures, presentations and displays for industry, but also much for the general public to see and experience, such as cooking demonstrations that highlight how area farmers and chefs are working together to create great food. An interactive marketplace will offer up arts, cul- ture, heritage displays and more. The awards will recognize partnerships between business, the arts and the commu- nity, the integration of art and culture in the workplace and more. The goal is not just to recognize individuals and groups, but to help grow our creative economy. Creative economy. It’s a phrase that would have drawn blank looks 20 or 30 years ago. But, increasingly, in knowledge-based econ- omies, creative industries are seen as crucial to the economic well-being of a community. The spin-off effects can be difficult to mea- sure. But imagine an out-of-town couple who attends a festival in, say, Whitby. They stay in a local hotel, they eat lunch and dinner at local establishments. They learn about other events and attractions and plan a return visit. Beyond that, well-educated people with high-paying jobs who are on the move look to a community’s creative assets when they’re sizing up the place. Emphasizing what Durham has to offer and highlighting what makes us unique can only be positive for our region’s future. Stay tuned for more information on the Durham Tourism Summit and Durham Art of Transition Creative Awards, of which Metroland Durham Region Media Group is the media sponsor.

AJAX -- A barn fire that killed nearly 50 cows in Ajax last week has been ruled acci- dental. Michael Gambe, deputy chief of opera- tions for Ajax Fire and Emergency Services, wouldn’t elaborate on the exact cause of the fire, but said the case has been closed. “The investigation has shown that it was an accidental cause,” he explained, noting that wind was a factor in the severity of the fire. Crews from Ajax, Pickering and Whitby fire services were dispatched to the scene of the barn blaze at O’Connor Land and Cattle Company, located at Rossland and Lakeridge roads in Ajax, just after 4 p.m. on June 2. Although the fire was brought under control that evening, crews from Ajax were on the scene until June 4. Mr. Gambe said the investigation has pegged losses at $250,000 to $300,000 for the buildings alone, with no value yet avail- able for the loss of livestock, which at last count had reached 49 dairy cows and calves dead.

Circulation materials have increased exponentially, from an average of 9,000 to 10,000 monthly in 2001 to 27,000 to 30,000 items a month today. “E-books are really starting to take off now and the community has taken to them quite readily,” Ms. McVarish said. “I’d say the branch is just as techy, and maybe more, than bigger libraries. Things have really become equalized recently between our branch and the Central Library, and the things we don’t have residents can order from other branches and pick up here.” One of the branch’s most popular pro- grams is Social Story Time, exclusive to Pet- ticoat Creek. The program offers a chance for adults and kids to share story time together. “It’s an opportunity for parents of kids who are not yet in school to get together in one room with the kids and share a social story time,” she explained. She credited the library’s success over the past 10 years with the community-oriented neighbourhood and relationship between the library and residents. “We have a lot of long-time customers and our staff has been here so long that they get to know a lot of people by name,” she said. “Clients have always found this library a comfortable place to be, with our fireplace during the cold winter months and the beautiful vista of the Petticoat Creek all year round. Our public computer terminals and children’s programming have continued to be popular services and are well-used and attended and our staff are always friendly and personable.” The public is invited to come out and help staff celebrate the milestone during the 10-year anniversary celebration on Satur- day, June 11 at 1 p.m. The event will include a cake cutting and crafts and activities for the kids. The library is at 470 Kingston Rd.

On May 6, Pickering councillors heard a presentation regarding a zoning amend- ment request to allow a three-storey, mixed- use development at the corner of Kingston Road and Rougemount Drive that would house commercial units on the ground floor and residential units above. “Basically we are looking to add uses such as office space to make the building more attractive to potential tenants,” said Wes Surdyka, representative for owner Grand Communities Corporation. “In my opinion this building fits in the neighbourhood and we did take extensive co-ordination with the planning depart- ment to address issues such as noise atten- uation, which led to the plan for a 10-foot landscaping strip along the back of the property to separate the building from abut- ting homeowners.” Several residents came forward at the meeting to detail additional concerns with the proposal, including traffic, light pollu- tion and the loss of backyard privacy. “I just moved in in October and one thing I really liked about the house was the back- yard,” said Gareth Morgan, whose Dale- wood Drive property would back onto the development. “I liked how private it was because it had trees blocking everything and that just gave it a really nice feel. I worry they’ll get knocked down and I worry about people being able to see into our windows from this three-storey building. I think it will real- ly change the quiet character of the neigh- bourhood.” Several other residents voiced similar con- cerns, with one suggesting a working group be struck so residents could work with the applicant to address these common con- cerns. “The establishment of a working group I think is an excellent idea,” said Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, whose ward encom- passes the proposed site. “It’s definite- ly something I’d encourage prior to this proposal coming back to the committee.” The presentation was provided to council- lors for information only. The proposal will be brought back to the committee for con- sideration at a future meeting.

On June 11 and 12, residents and visitors alike are invited to celebrate the season with local horticulture, arts and heritage at the seventh annual Peony Festival. Taking place at the Oshawa Valley Botani- cal Gardens, the Peony Festival will show- case garden enthusiasts, visual artists, musi- cians and heritage programming. The event features the largest contemporary peony collection in Canada, as well as the nearby historic gardens of Parkwood National His- toric Site. The Peony Festival reaches far beyond the limits of Durham Region and the Great- er Toronto Area. With the peony being the national flower of China, the festival has seen an increase in visitation from the Chi- nese community in recent years. Guests now travel from across the GTA to Oshawa to view one of Canada’s largest contempo- rary peony collections, with more than 300 varieties. As tourism manager for Durham Region, I am extremely honoured that this annual cultural exchange allows us to exhibit local arts, culture and heritage to such a diverse crowd. By developing garden experiences as a tourism force for Ontario, I look for- ward to the Peony Festival reaching beyond the limits of our province and, eventually, Canada. The City of Oshawa’s Peony Festival con- tinues to flourish thanks to the dedicated gardening community in Durham Region that has been growing this event every year. If you have a passion for peonies or a growing green thumb, I invite you to visit the Peony Festival for a creative exchange of gardening, arts and culture. For more infor- mation, visit http://www.oshawa.ca/ovgb. I look forward to seeing you there. Kerri King is the Region of Durham’s tourism manager.

And luckily, with just a few minor updates you can create a major impact on the décor (and enjoyment) of your home. New Hue in the Loo The powder room is a space you use every day – and that guests also view. For this small space, test out a new bold colour that you may not be as daring to use in other larger areas. According to industry experts, green is one of the most popular hues in the bath- room this year. Splash the walls with a coat of paint in a vibrant shade. Or simply update your decorative accents throughout the room with contrasting colours to make a beautiful design statement. Freshen Up Furniture As you move outdoors to enjoy the weather… has your patio furniture seen bet- ter days? If the sun and snow have taken a toll on your outdoor seating, look no further than a can of spray paint to update the look. No matter if you've got rusty metal, weath- ered wood or dingy plastic, you can turn trash into treasure in no time. Krylon's Fusion for Plastic paint is available in dozens of colours to bring everything from seating to decorative ac- cents back to life. For wood materials, try Krylon's outdoor spray stain, and to cover rust on metal – or to prevent it in the future – Krylon's Outdoor Spaces has the colour and ﬁ nish to suit any décor needs. “Spray painting is a simple project that even a novice DIYer can feel comfortable doing,” said Katherine Merkle, Krylon brand manager. “With just a bit of prep work and a quality product, your project will be the envy of your neighbours in no time.” Amazing Accents To brighten chairs, loveseats and couches add new decorative throw pillows or drape a new blanket over the back. In the bedroom, a new comforter can add new style (and comfort) to the room. Plus, these accents can be quite affordable and are easily changeable when you're ready for a new hue. www.newscanada.com Out with the cold – In with the hue durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201116 AP FREE OUTDOOR CONCERTSLet the music play DURHAM -- After the cool and wet May we experienced, Dur- ham residents are more anxious than ever to get outside and enjoy some nice weather.

Macdonald has won an award. Roderick Benns’s second book in his Leaders and Legacies historical fic- tion series on Canada’s prime ministers, The Legends of Lake on the Mountain: An Early Adventure of John A. Macdon- ald, won a Best Regional Fiction award for Eastern Canada through the Indepen- dent Publisher Book Awards. The first book in the series, also by Benns, The Mystery of the Moonlight Murder: An Early Adventure of John Die- fenbaker, won a Best Regional Fiction award for Western Canada last year. “I think we owe our subject matter -- our prime ministers -- some gratitude for our coverage, considering we are a small publishing house,” Benns states in a press release. “Putting our leaders in adventures and mysteries has never been done before like this and I think people find the angle entertaining. But they also end up learning a little Canadian history along the way.” Learn more at www.firesidepublish- inghouse.com. Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comEntertainment Let the music play in Ajax MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- There’ll be free jazz in Pickering Village on Saturday. Local business own- ers Margaret Campbell and Bruce Jenkins have teamed up to present the Pickering Village JAM, fea- turing jazz, art and more on June 11 from 2 p.m. to mid- night. They took the reins when the Pickering Village BIA opted not to hold the Pickering Village Jazz Festi- val this year. Campbell says there has been an outpouring of support and interest from the community, including musicians, who were asked if they would play for free or keep their fees as low as possible. “We’ve had a lot of people say, ‘we just want to play’,” she says. “It’s kind of a good and a bad problem: we had too many people.” The line-up will see roughly 10 bands playing at the event, including familiar names from previous jazz festivals such as the Rag- weed Jazz Band and Groove Marmalade. Youth will be a big part of the event, with former Pickering High School students, The Fem Tones, playing along with Youth Jammers, made up of students from Ajax and Pickering schools, and PHS alumnus Stepha- nie Davis. There’s also a battle of the high school bands, and while it hadn’t been confirmed at press time, the word is Pickering High School will square off against O’Neill Collegiate from Oshawa. As in previous years, there will be two musical focal points: the main stage at Linton and Old Kings- ton and the quadrangle in The Courtyard, just west of Windsor Avenue. Campbell says there will be artists, a beer tent, food vendors and community groups setting up displays. One of the main concerns the BIA had was the con- struction work happening in the village. But Campbell says it won’t be a problem. “There’s some minor housekeeping issues, but it’s close and it looks great,” she says. The Town of Ajax came on board to partner with the organizers. So, while the 2011 event is ready to go, 2012 remains up in the air. “This is where it gets really sticky,” Campbell says. “We took it over for one year to fill a gap. We are prepared, should (the BIA) not want to do the jazz festival next year, to do it.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201117 AP This is YOUR time.

The big cat is no ordinary feline: Jonas is a star, playing Richard Parker in the upcom- ing film Life of Pi. So when he knocked over a flower display at Parkwood, no one com- plained. At the June 7 garden party, Mr. Ander- son, Durham tourism manager Kerri King and Joanne Burghardt, editor-in-chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group, announced and spoke of the Durham Tour- ism Summit and Durham Art of Transition Creative Awards. The event is Nov. 25 from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Health and Wellness Centre in Oshawa. “We really want to integrate the people from across the region,” Ms. King says. “I find that when you bring people together from different municipalities and different areas of business and they start communicating, things start happening.” The summit starts with the Durham Tour- ism business breakfast from 8 to 9:30 a.m. It and the lectures, workshops and presenta- tions are mainly for industry, but there will be a lot for the general public to see and experi- ence as well. There will be 50 to 80 exhibits with representatives from Durham’s munici- palities and tourist attractions, cooking dem- onstrations and more, and it’s free for the public to attend. Ms. King says volunteers, including stu- dents who need community service hours, are welcome to participate in the event. The Art of Transition is a forum for creative minds at www.artoftransition.ca. Building on the 2009 Art of Transition Symposium, the awards will give a boost to Durham’s cre- ative economy while celebrating the region’s talented people. “Anyone can nominate and people can self-nominate,” Ms. King says. “We want it to be really inclusive; we want people to think that they can be a part of this.” Nomination forms will be posted on the Art of Transition website in mid-July. There are five award categories: Best collaboration among business, the arts and the commu- nity; Best story about Durham Region in any medium; Best entertainment in any medi- um; Best integration of art and culture in the workplace; and, Best use of art and artists to advance social and environmental sustain- ability. Metroland is the event’s official media sponsor. Ms. King says the event is not just to cel- ebrate art and culture in Durham, but to develop ideas on how culture can be inte- grated into Durham’s business environment.

The 33-year-old Oshawa native carried the momentum of a second- place finish on the Nationwide Tour into Monday, qualifying for the U.S. Open, where he earned his second career trip to the PGA Tour major. Playing at the Woodmont Coun- try Club in Rockville, Maryland, Mills finished in second place with a seven- under 135 over two rounds Monday, to grab one of 10 spots available. He was a stroke behind leader Kirk Triplett. He will tee it up with the world’s best at Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Maryland beginning June 16. Mills also played in the 2008 U.S. Open, where he finished tied for 36th. On the Nationwide Tour, Mills moved from 66th on the money list to 16th this weekend after finishing tied for second at the Melwood Prince George’s County Open in Maryland. SOCCER Ajax FC teams up with Just 4 Keepers AJAX -- It was recently announced that the Ajax FC has a new partnership with Just 4 Keepers, which is led by one of the top goalkeeper trainers in Canada in Ric- cardo Greco. The program provides goalkeepers with advanced individual training and specific curriculum that focus on the com- plex aspects of the game, is designed specifically for different age groups and is reserved for competitive and elite boys and girls looking to receive advanced individual instruction. Just 4 Keepers methods guide the player and are designed to build, enhance and refine a keeper’s technical and tacti- cal talents. A significant emphasis will be placed on such skill sets as extensive dives, footwork, handing, shot-stopping and distribution. The 2011 sessions run for 10 weeks on Fridays and Sundays and started last week at the Ajax Mini #6 fields, beside the skateboard park at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre. Goalkeepers can sign up on their own or through their team by registering online at www.ajaxsoccerclub.ca. The eight to 10 age group is on the field at 5:30 p.m., followed by the 11 to 13 group at 6:30 p.m. and the 14 and up group at 7:30 p.m. All sessions are Friday and last one hour. The Sunday sessions for ages eight to 11 begin at 1 p.m., while the 12 and up starts at 2 p.m. NCAA Desjardins off to South Dakota Ajax Aquatic Club athlete earns scholarship SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The road to success has been full of twists and turns for Yann Desjardins. While there have been many members of the Ajax Aquatic Club who swam off on scholarships to the United States in recent years, it’s quite possible Desjardins’s route is one of the more interesting. The 19-year-old Whitby resident has signed on with South Dakota State University, where he will join up with the men’s swim team next fall. Now, it wasn’t all that long ago that swim- ming wasn’t even on the radar for Desjardins. In fact, for a couple of years, sports in general were nowhere to be found in his regimen. “When we moved here to Ontario, I didn’t do sports for two years and my mom kept complaining to me that I was getting a bit fatter and fatter so she gave a choice, a list of sports, and I thought, alright, I’ll give it a shot with swimming,” recalls Desjardins, who started swimming at age 12 after mov- ing from Quebec with his family two years prior. “I eventually chose Ajax. I don’t know why I chose Ajax, but I think I made the right choice.” While his scholarship is all wrapped up now, heading off on such a venture wasn’t something that Desjardins often thought about when he was younger. He grew up expecting to attend a Canadian institution, most likely in Quebec, but at the urging of AAC coach Matt Bell, Desjardins investigated the possibility of heading south. And it obviously turned out to be a good call. “I didn’t expect to go to the United States before I started swimming,” he says. “Then Matt told me about the possibilities for me to go study in the States on a scholarship and I thought, hey why not try for it.” As for why South Dakota proved to be his destination of choice, Desjardins says it’s simple. “With the team and also with the teachers that I met, it felt like a good atmosphere and I felt like I belonged there,” he explains. The feeling of belonging may have been easy for Desjardins, but traveling the road to South Dakota was anything but. Many days and nights were spent in the pool over the past few years, trying to clock the quickest times he could. Those who have swum all their lives have a tough time with such a task, never mind those like Desjardins who got started on things a little later than most. “Most swimmers that reach any kind of per- formance level start around eight. I didn’t get him until he was like 14 and he started swim- ming when he was like 12. He’s really had to work hard to catch up and I think that’s why at 19 he is still improving,” says Bell. And though most swimmers have a tenden- cy to plateau in their late teens, Bell strong- ly believes Desjardins has an opportunity to buck the trend. “That’s why he is such an asset to a school because there is a good chance he is going to continue to improve throughout his colle- giate career,” Bell notes. As for the chances Desjardins has to make a name for himself swimming on the Canadi- an scene, Bell admits that is up to one person and one person only. “That’s really up to him,” he says of the Saint Charles Garnier student, who will major in computer engineering at South Dakota State. “I really don’t know what he is capable of doing, I mean, he’s achieved everything he’s put his mind to so far, so if his goal is high enough I am sure he’ll reach it.” RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax Aquatic Club swimmer Yann Desjardins has signed a scholarship to attend South Dakota State University. BASEBALL Three Durham Region players tabbed in MLB draft WHITBY -- Three Durham Region baseball players saw their dreams become a reality ear- lier this week. Major League Baseball held its 2011 first- year player draft over three days, and by the end of it, the last two shortstops at Sinclair Secondary School in Steven Wickens and Joey Hawkins were both drafted, as was Oshawa pitcher/third baseman Eric Wood. Wickens, who most recently attended Florida Gulf Coast University, was selected in the 33rd round by the Minnesota Twins. The 22-year- old senior was the 1,018th overall selection by the Twins. Hawkins, meanwhile, was the replacement at Sinclair for Wickens at short. The five-foot- eleven, right-handed batter was chosen in the 42nd round of the proceedings by the Kansas City Royals. Wood, meanwhile, was selected by the Oak- land A’s a few rounds earlier, snapped up in the 37th round. A right-handed thrower and batter, the for- mer Pickering Red Sox minor ball player is listed as a third baseman on the A’s official website. Wood was not listed with an affiliated school in his draft profile, and was even thought by some prior to the draft as a player who held free agent status, rather than draft eligibility. Lyn, has committed to the Uni- versity of Dayton in Ohio where he will study exercise sci- ence and pre-physical therapy. Dayton was his first choice when the recruiting pro- cess was completed. “Everything about the school made me want to attend,” says the Denis O’Connor student. “The location, being in a small city, the size, not too big and not too small, the soccer is very competitive with great success in the past years, and the cam- pus, which had an amazing feel to it when I went down for a visit.” Dayton play in the Atlantic-10 Conference and have won two conference championships and appeared in the NCAA Tourna- ment in 2008. Lyn is one of six new recruits in a program that brought in 14 freshmen this past season. “We will be a very youthful team,” he notes, adding he is ready to fight for a spot in the starting 11. “Ryan came to our program in 2008 and since his first day he has constantly become better and better,” says Smyrniotis. “His devotion to training and under- standing his position as a striker led him to become a top striker in his age group and beyond in the province. His breakout sea- son with 43 goals in all competi- tions in 2010 is indicative of his work.” cipline he experienced at the Sigma Academy as helping him advance to the next level. He plans to study actu- arial math or busi- ness with a finance major. Smyrniotis has watched Guer- riero grow under the Sigma Academy program. “Lucas has been with us since the beginning and has grown immensely as a player and a person,” he says. “His ability to dominate a game is rare to find in a player. Beyond the field, Lucas is a great student.” The third member of the group, man who brings a dedicated approach to the field each and every time he is out there. He has a great ability to play on the edge every game which is a great intangi- ble.” Guerriero, a student at St. Mary, feels that Bryant Univer- sity in Rhode Island will be the best fit for him. A strong aca- demic program and a good rap- port with coach Seamus Purcell were key to his commitment. “They are three years into a four-year transitional period from Division II to Division I, and I am excited about being a part of that,” he says. “I hope to play a key role in their start- ing lineup during my freshman year.” Guerriero was quick to credit the training, coaching and dis-durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201120 AP FRIDAY FLYERS FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2011 *DELIVERED TO SELECTED HOUSE ONLY *AJAX HOME WEEK AJAX *BASS PRO SHOPS AJAX PICKERING *CASH MONEY AJAX *DELL COMPUTERS AJAX PICKERING *GENERAL PAINT PICKERING *HAKIM OPTICAL AJAX PICKERING *LIFESTYLE SUNROOMS AJAX PICKERING *LITTLE CAESARS AJAX PICKERING *NEW HOMES AJAX PICKERING *SEARS AJAX PICKERING *SHOPPERS DRUG MART AJAX PICKERING *SHOWCASE AJAX PICKERING *SMART SOURCE AJAX PICKERING *SWISS CHALET AJAX PICKERING If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

Kristian Lee-Him, Lucas Guer- riero and Ryan Lyn, teammates and members of the Sigma Academy out of Mississauga, will find themselves on new teams in NCAA Division I soccer programs in the fall. For Lee-Him, a visit to Appala- chian State University in North Carolina and meeting with coach Shaun Pendleton cement- ed his choice of where he want- ed to spend the next four years. The school has historically been known for its strong soccer and academic programs. “Coach Shaun had all the qualities that I would look for in a coach to mentor me,” says the Notre Dame student. “After he laid out his plans, the role that I will play, the school and pro- gram aligned with my plans to study business management. “I want to ensure that my addi- tional goal of achieving a profes- sional career as a soccer player is also realized.” Bobby Smyrniotis, the Acad- emy’s technical director/coach, has high praise for Lee-Him. “Kristian is a special young THIS WEEK 905 579 4400 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201121 P Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

AIR RIFLE Pickering Air Cadets tops in Ontario Squadron finishes as runner-up in Canada PICKERING -- Local 856 Pickering Air Cadet Squad- ron’s air rifle team advanced to the national marksman- ship championships in Whitehorse, Yukon Territo- ries after claiming first place in Ontario. The Pickering team, con- sisting of Warrant Officer First Class Mathias Neu- jahr, Flight Sergeant Phil- lip Armenis, Flight Corpo- ral Caroline D’Souza, Flight Corporal Larissa Soos and Corporal Anneke MacIn- nis advanced to the nation- als after a solid win over 227 competing teams in Ontario. The team travelled to Whitehorse where it aimed to be tops in Canada. A total of 125 competitors in five- person teams represented their provinces. Each team member shot a total of 14 targets over the course of the week-long competition, for a total of 1600 rounds shot down- range. The competition proved to be a close battle. The Pickering team placed second, just two points off their sights for gold. Warrant Office Neujahr is currently ranked seventh in Canada in the prone posi- tion, and in the standing position Flight Cpl. Soos ranks 16th in the open cat- egory and Cpl. MacInnis is ranked ninth in the junior category.

BREAKING NEWS: ALL DAY, EVERY DAY >>durhamregion.com PICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE Spring is in the air and after a long winter you’ve opened your windows to find that they are old, ugly or just in rough shape. There are several benefits to having new windows and doors in your home. First, they improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but you may find that you’re not getting the highest quality windows and the installation is trickier than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member to come out and fix the installation.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 34 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575.

TODAY AJAX 905-683-5110 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 10, 201125 AP East divisionals held in Etobicoke ETOBICOKE -- Durham Syn- chro’s national teams started the competitive season off on a high note with early podium achievements during the Syn- chro Swim Ontario 2011 eastern divisionals held at the Olympi- um Pool in Etobicoke. Durham Synchro’s 13-15, 16-18 and junior FINA nation- al teams achieved high stand- ings throughout team and duet finals while personal bests were attained during figures cate- gories by members from these teams. After a nearly flawless rou- tine swim, DSC’s 13-15 team, coached by Julia Maclean, achieved a sixth-place stand- ing in routine finals. Compet- ing against 174 synchronized swimmers from across southern Ontario in the individual fig- ures competition, athletes from this team displayed impressive figures techniques and stellar results were reported by each team member. Kionna Whyte (13), Sarah Masters (22), Meg Grylls (33), Kristyn Davies (35), Catilin Schropp (36), Wenjing Deng (41), Laura Walsh (50) and Reyanne Padgett (68) completed this figures tour de force in this competitive pool of athletes. Soloist Wenjing Deng (13-15, special team division) graced the pool to Bette Midler’s The Rose and placed 26th overall in pre- liminaries, to later finish in 24th place. Duet team Kionna Whyte and Sarah Masters achieved DSC duet team. Kristyn Davies and Meg Grylls earned 24th in duet preliminaries and finished 20th overall. DSC’s 16-18 national team (Shannon Blaney, Meagan Caul- field, Julia Ehrt, Sarah Exley, Samantha Gurrieri, Amber Mealing and Ellen Ritchie), under coach Jenilee Keslering, finished with a podium-wor- thy sixth spot in team routine finals. Top 25 figures results were turned in by two members of this team, Mealing (18) and Blaney (23). Continuing DSC’s presence on the podium was the Jr. FINA team, led by DSC head coach Holley Lundmark, who captured a fifth place in Eastern Canada. Team members Heather Clarke, Katie Gagnon, Stephanie Geller, Alycia Halyk, Ellen Hamilton, Hannah Koke, Rachel Nickerson and Venessa Trajanos displayed great determination in achiev- ing their goal. Adding to their impressive skills display, two Jr. FINA team members ranked within the top- 10 in individual figures, Stepha- nie Geller (7) and Alycia Halyk (10). Durham Synchro’s duet teams displayed no lack of finesse and artistry during the duet team preliminaries and duet team finals. Long-standing partners Aly- cia Halyk/Rachel Nickerson and Heather Clarke/Katie Gagnon illustrated technically strong routine performances in a chal- lenging field. During prelimi- naries, the Nickerson/Halyk duo held onto 13th position to later place 13th overall in duet rou- tine finals. Team Clark/Gagnon achieved similar results with a 13th-place overall finish in duet routine finals after a 12th-place swim in preliminaries, qualifying them to pre-swim in duet team finals.
