On Monday, July 11 Transport Canada released the results of its Needs Assessment Study on the Pickering lands, 18,600 acres acquired by the government in 1972 for the purpose of building an airport. Although the plan was put on hold, the government retained the lands for future aviation options. The Needs Assessment Study, which was launched in 2007 and completed in March 2010, concludes that aviation constraints based on increasing commercial passenger traffic will necessitate additional aviation capacity in the GTA by 2027, with Pickering declared a “prime location” for a new air- port.

On July 6, Ontario Attorney General Chris Bentley was in Whitby at police headquar- ters to announce a $115,750 grant for Dur- ham police, which comes from proceeds of crime seized by police. The proceeds include cash as well as money earned from the sale of property such as cars and real estate. Among the items that will be purchased by police are an infrared camera with tempera- ture-sensing technology which can be used to identify marijuana grow ops, a hand-held metal detector which can help police find guns and ammunition at a crime scene and digital cameras equipped with night vision scopes and telephoto lenses. Mr. Bentley called Ontario’s civil forfeiture law a Robin Hood law. “It takes from the bad guys and gives to the good guys,” he said. Durham police Deputy Chief Scott Burns was on hand to thank Mr. Bentley for the funds. He said one of the notable seizures in Durham under the forfeiture law was the Hell’s Angels clubhouse in Oshawa. Since 2003, other seizures across Ontar- io have included dozens of homes used for crack houses and grow ops, vehicles used for street racing and $8.2 million in illicit cash. “It’s a great way to turn the assets from ille- gal endeavours into tools to prevent future illegal activities,” said Deputy Chief Burns. When it comes to the proceeds, money from the civil forfeiture law first goes to com- pensate victims of crime and the remain- ing funds are distributed to law enforcement agencies, which must file applications for grants. Since 2003, about $5.7 million has gone to law enforcement agencies. “Durham Region has done very well; Dur- ham Region has received just under half a million over the past several years,” said Mr. Bentley. The technology purchased with the grant money will help Durham police solve crimes. “The technology presents opportunities, it supports good police work, it makes the evi- dence we gather stronger which helps the prosecution,” said the attorney general. For example, when investigating a poten- tial grow op, police may use tips from neigh- bours, hydro bills and the results of the infra- red camera to ascertain that the home is a grow op. “It helps us to keep our officers safe, it gives our officers a tactical advantage,” said Deputy Chief Burns. Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson and Kawartha-Haliburton-Brock MPP Rick John- son joined Mr. Bentley for the announce- ment. FaST FacTS property seized under civil remedies act Since 2003, a total of $15.3 million in prop- erty has been forfeited to the Crown under the Province’s Civil Remedies Act, which allows the Crown to seize property and assets that are proceeds of crime. The Province also has another $37.5 mil- lion in frozen property pending the completion of civil forfeiture proceedings. The Attorney General of Ontario has used the Act to: • Forfeit two biker clubhouses, one in Oshawa and one in Thunder Bay • Freeze bike clubhouses in London, Windsor, Sault Ste. Marie, St. Catharines, Toronto and Niagara • Freeze two rooming houses in Orillia • Freeze crack houses in Hamilton, Chatham and Ottawa • Forfeit 50 properties including 34 grow ops and freeze another 47 grow ops • Forfeit and crush two street racing vehicles • Forfeit more than $8.2 million in illicit cash ryan pFeiFFer / meTroland WHITBY -- Durham Regional Police Services Deputy Chief Scott Burns spoke after Attorney General Chris Bentley announced a $115,750 grant for DRPS as part of the Civil Remedies Grant program during a press conference at DRPS headquarters July 6. it takes from the bad guys and gives to the good guys.

City delivers first of five payments Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Rouge Valley Health System Ajax-Pickering is one step closer to realizing its goal of an in-house MRI machine after receiving the first of five scheduled donations from the City of Pickering. On Monday, July 11 Mayor Dave Ryan and councillors presented members of the hos- pital’s Image is Everything MRI campaign with the first of five cheques for $100,000, for a total commitment of $500,000, which was approved as part of the City’s 2011 budget. “I’m very proud, on behalf of Pickering, to present this cheque to the Ajax Pickering hospital,” Mayor Ryan said. “The hospital does not have an MRI today and I want to thank the community at large for getting behind this project and support- ing what is seen as a dire need in our com- munity. This machine will be used to run diagnostic tests to help diagnose diseases and will contribute to the well-being of our community.” Lucy Stocco, chairwoman of the Image is Everything campaign, said staff have been very busy since starting the campaign in June 2010, hosting one event per week over the last year. It seems that hard work has paid off, bringing the campaign to 75 per cent of its $5 million goal, with a possible contribution by Durham Region that would take them all the way there being considered in the region’s 2012 budget. “It’s unbelievable that there isn’t an MRI at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital,” Ms. Stocco said. “I want to thank the City of Pickering for its generous donation. I also want to let every- one know that the MRI is scheduled to arrive at the hospital on Monday, Aug. 29. It’s so unbelievable and so exciting. The doctors and the medical community are so excited about having this ability, about having this diagnostic tool that is available to most hos- pitals and not ours.” For more information: vIsIt rougemri.ca health Hospital MRI campaign gets boost from Pickering sCARBOROUGH -- A Pickering man is facing charges after a citizen alerted police to a prowler on Abbeville Road near Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue in Scarborough. Police allege a citizen saw a man walking up a driveway in the early morning hours of July 5. The individual reported that the man put up his hood to conceal himself and stayed in the shadows, police said. Police located a man outside the resi- dence and seized a knife, tools and a flashlight. John Easton, 27, of Pickering, has been charged with prowl by night and possessing burglar tools.

In custody at a Lindsay correctional centre since May, Craig Wright, 42, of Simcoe Street South in Oshawa will appear in person for his pre-trial at 9 a.m. on Aug. 15. The owner of FACW K9 Training and Rehabilitation Centre in Oshawa was arrested by Durham Regional Police on May 18 after a raid on his training facility. The raid was prompted after police received numer- ous complaints of dogs that had either gone missing or died after attending FACW. Mr. Wright appeared via video at an Oshawa court on July 6 where his pre-trial date was set. His lawyer Brad Burgess said he will try to get an earlier date for Mr. Wright.

Collision occurred on Whites near Oklahoma PICKERING -- A 23-year-old man is dead follow- ing a motorcycle collision in Pickering Thursday night. Around 9:15 p.m., July 7, police were called to a collision involving a motorcycle and a Honda SUV on Whites Road, just north of Oklahoma Drive. Witnesses report the motorcycle was north- bound on Whites Road at a high rate of speed before entering the intersection at Oklahoma, according to Durham Regional Police. The driver lost control and struck a grey Honda SUV which was waiting to turn left off Whites Road into the Petrocan Gas Station. The motorcycle’s driver, Tony Toughlajian of Hampton Court in Pickering, was taken to the Ajax-Pickering hospital with vital signs absent and pronounced dead shortly after. The Honda’s driv- er was uninjured. The road was closed for several hours for a police investigation. Speed is being looked at as a con- tributing factor, say police.

The driver of the Toyota was treated by EMS at scene for minor injuries. The truck had left the roadway following the collision, stopping in a nearby field. A 42-year-old woman from Uxbridge was located near the vehicle with serious but non- life threatening injuries and transported to a hospital in Markham.

With increased or “enhanced” capacity at all airports and “pessimistic” commercial passenger growth, the need for a new airport could be pushed back as far as 2041. “Even though an additional airport will not be needed within the Greater Golden Horseshoe before 2027 at the earliest, the study concludes that the Pickering lands should be kept and protected for future avi- ation needs,” reads a summary of the study. “This is based on a number of factors such as the site size, proximity to a large potential market, accessibility to Highways 401 and 407 and a relatively low population in the immediate vicinity of the lands. The study also notes that it is inconceivable that a large parcel of land comparable in size to the Pickering Lands could be amassed again in the future.” Gabrielle Untermann, secretary of Land Over Landings, a conservation group that promotes maintaining the Pickering lands for farming through the creation of a land trust, said she was disappointed with the results of the study. “Whenever something like this happens you get a sock in the gut, but then you think ‘well, has anything changed?’” She said. “They’ve been saying the same thing all this time, we knew they were never going to let those lands go. It’s not a surprise.” Ms. Untermann emphasizes that there are more important things in the world than moving people and cargo, such as feeding people. “We are in the middle of a global food cri- sis and no one seems to notice,” she says, noting that at least the 2027 date gives the group more time to convince people of the need to retain the lands for farming. “This gives us a longer time without an airport here and time to reach the peak of the global food and oil crisis, and hopefully then politicians will take notice. It’s a trav- esty that this land is sitting here growing ethanol.” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan welcomes the report as a means to end the uncertain- ty of local residents, who have been wait- ing more than 40 years for a final verdict on whether the government would pursue an airport. “I think it’s positive that the uncertainty has been removed, we’ve had 40 years of airport questions and I’m very pleased to have this study made public,” Mayor Ryan said, noting Durham Region’s Official Plan has allowed for an airport at that location since the lands were expropriated. “The economic benefits of an airport are obvious. They drive development and attract jobs and industry. We’ve seen that in existing airports such as Oshawa, Button- ville and certainly Pearson. What we need to do is see the big picture here.” Mayor Ryan praised comments by Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, calling the airport a unique opportunity for the region. “The Pickering lands represent a unique economic and environmental opportuni- ty to help transform a key area of the GTA through job creation, economic activity and environmental stewardship,” said Mr. Flaherty in a release announcing the study results on Monday. “This brings us one step closer to a resolution on this issue.” “The federal government now has a clear direction to pursue,” Mayor Ryan contin- ued. “Our role is to provide comment to the government and ultimately to make the best of the opportunities provided to us by this process.” The government will be releasing a more detailed plan for the future of the lands in the coming months. “With more certainty regarding timing for the need for an airport, our government’s next step is to come up with a plan for the Pickering lands, taking into account the needs of the region and stakeholders,” said Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infra- structure and Communities. “We will develop a plan for the short- and long-term development and use of these lands, including the potential for a future airport.” Ajax-Pickering MP Chris Alexander called the report a positive development as it seemed to promise a resolution to the issue. “The most exciting thing for all of us is that the government agreed to put together a plan to help bring us forward to a resolu- tion of this issue that’s been postponed for decades,” he said. “During the election I said 40 years was too long to have waited and that a business case hadn’t been made; today’s announce- ment responds to those concerns. We’ve never had this kind of commitment to determine the use of these lands before. There’s been a long period of uncertainty and this is the beginning of the end.” He said many things would have to be considered during final planning, such as economic development, industrial devel- opment and environmental stewardship, specifically in regards to the adjacent Rouge Valley lands, which the government has committed to expanding and turning into a national park. “The key word here is resolution,” he said. “It’s too soon to tell exactly what the out- come will look like because there’s a lot of stakeholders. This is an opportunity to draw on the best of all those visions and craft a plan for the future.” For members of Land Over Landings, the fight will continue. “We’ll continue doing what we’re doing and keep lobbying,” Ms. Untermann said. “We will be awaiting the release of the plan and ready to pounce.” COTTAGE/SPAREROOM* MATTRESSSPECIAL720HP CO IL TWIN $349 95 FULL $379 95 QUEEN $399 95 KING $659 95 P.T.CUSHIONFIRMPOCKETCOIL#800POSTUREPEDICSETS TWIN $699 95 FULL $739 95 QUEEN $799 95 KING $1199 95 KIDSMATTRESS*TWIN $13995 QUEEN $19995 FULL $15995 PLUSMORE!

Tony Sloggett Oshawa public transit Most DRT drivers helpful, considerate To the editor: Re: ‘Bus drivers should be friendlier’, let- ter to the editor, durhamregion.com, July 4, 2011. While I sympathize with this customer and her feelings over her bad experience on a Durham Region Transit bus, I would have to disagree that all drivers need a lesson in customer service. A few bad apples, as they say, can ruin the bunch as well as the expe- rience of many customers. Many DRT drivers are polite, helpful and considerate. I take the bus frequently in Oshawa and it served as a lifeline before I owned a vehicle. Bus trips get busier and busier and drivers are trained to deliver compassionate care to many vulnerable riders including disabled individuals, children and their mothers (including strollers), and the elderly. Most drivers at DRT excel at this all while staying on schedule, operating the vehicle in a safe manner, and providing assistance to their customers with other bus schedules and even GO transit times. When I first moved to Oshawa several years back, I was a young student with lim- ited knowledge of the city. I was stranded at the GO station not knowing how to get home. I had no car and no money. The transit operator on that chilly evening was kind and offered to assist in my journey home. As we arrived at the Oshawa Cen- tre, he helped me transfer to another bus and explained that I could even connect to another bus that would drop me off right in front of my house. I was ecstatic. I will never forget this operator’s kind-hearted deed. He took a minute of his time to make me feel comfortable and welcome in my new home. Kirsty Campbell Oshawa *** To the editor: Re: ‘Bus drivers should be friendlier’, let- ter to the editor, durhamregion.com, July 4, 2011. The letter writer notes: ‘... it should be mandatory to make people who ride the bus feel safe’ and ‘If they encounter a situ- ation where someone is rude, they should not fight back or fight fire with fire ...’ How arrogant and unrealistic. I use the GO bus service quite often, and have been astonished at the ignorance and lack of consideration shown by rid- ers. I watched a driver at Scarborough Cen- tre receive endless $20 bills from riders, all expecting change and putting him well behind schedule, and I helped to bail him out with some $5 bills. People wait until it is too late to call their stop, and yell at the driv- er if they have to walk back. The bell rings for a stop, and nobody gets off. I don’t know about Durham Transit, but I’ll take the GO drivers over some of the people they get for passengers any day. Jeff Goodall, Oshawa A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Led by Mayor Dave Ryan, who continues to grow in the role as the city’s political chief, Pickering has been well-governed by this mix of municipal councillors. In terms of busi- ness activity, residents need only look at the mixed-residential development taking shape on Bayly Street near Liverpool Road, ongo- ing improvements at the Pickering GO sta- tion and construction of a pedestrian over- pass from the Pickering Town Centre to the commuter rail and bus station, as well as the arrival of Pickering Learning Centre in part- nership with Toronto’s Centennial College. The seeds of these projects were planted by an earlier council, but were shepherded through the process to the point where shov- els are now in the ground. That characterizes the importance of consistency and commit- ment as demonstrated by this council. Regional councillor Bill McLean brings a wealth of experience to his role, having served as a ward councillor before moving up to serve at Durham council in 2004. He’s knowledgeable and friendly and cares deep- ly about people and the issues that affect them in Pickering. Fellow regional councillor Jennifer O’Connell continues her populist approach and is well-liked by constituents who call on her to address problems. New- comer Peter Rodrigues has been impressive so far serving residents in north Pickering at the regional council table, though still learn- ing on the job. His strengths lie in being fully engaged in the issues confronting his rural community and in advocating on behalf of his constituents. In city wards, councillors Kevin Ashe (Ward 1), Doug Dickerson (Ward 2) and David Pick- les (Ward 3) are a study in contrasts. Coun. Ashe was returned to council last fall after serving from 2003-2006, and prior to that sat as a trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board. He picks his spots for speech- ifying at council and is not afraid to go against the tide. He is knowledgeable and willing to offer solutions. Coun. Dickerson has built a reputation as a politician who stands up for his constituents, but he’s also built a repu- tation as council’s biggest spender, and cur- rently faces an audit of his campaign expen- ditures, which are alleged to have exceeded the limit by $14,000. He’s challenging the audit, as is his right, but the optics aren’t the greatest for the Ward 2 councillor. Coun. Pickles, meanwhile, continues to provide top-notch representation for his rural con- stituents and remains engaged on the impor- tant local files: heritage preservation, airport lands, Seaton. Overall, Pickering residents continue to be well served by their mayor and councillors. The remainder of this term of office will tell the whole tale. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 13, 2011 Recently, an absolutely horrific event that left a young York Region police officer dead and an underage driver paralyzed from the waist down has raised some important questions. Foremost of which is, as parents, how responsible are we when our children do stupid things? I’m always gob-smacked by how far a kid’s life can go off the rails in only a few short years. And this happens on a fairly regular basis. We needn’t even look as far as the Dylan Klebolds and Eric Harrises of the world. I’ve personally witnessed a num- ber of kids who just seemed to be monsters from the get-go. Kids who were only one poor choice away from very real catastro- phe. And my gut reaction, in these cases, was usually to look beyond the kid to the par- ent. Follow an idiot home and you’ll usu- ally find an adult-sized idiot or two some- where nearby. And there was some truth to that. But is it always the case? And is that all there is to it? I don’t think so. We’re more complicated than that. Anyone who has parented for as little as three or four years will tell you that as much as we may role- model for, map out and influence their lives, our children are very much on their own flight plans. We can throw all the Mon- tessori, Munsch and Dr. Spock at them that we can lay our hands on but in the end, they will do and become what they came here to do and become. I come from a family of six children. We were all, as far as I could see, parented in a very similar fashion and yet my siblings and I are vastly different from one another. Which is as it should be, shouldn’t it? Who wants a bunch of card- board cut-outs? Still, there is a world of difference between the kid who walks to a different drummer and the kid who walks into class with an automatic weapon. And maybe that, truly, is where on-board, vigilant parenting makes a difference. I wonder. Kids are kids, and part and parcel of grow- ing up is experimenting, taking risks and bumping into consequences. Luck ... good and bad ... plays a large role in any child making it to adulthood in one psychologi- cal and physical piece. I like to think my kids are gentle, intelligent, even wise peo- ple. But one of them still managed to run the family van over the other’s leg. An acci- dent, pure and simple. Bad timing meeting inexperience. Again, it’s where most kids live. But what about this other thing? What plunges kids into real darkness? I would like to be able to say that what separates a good kid from a bad kid, a good parent from a bad parent ... is a reverence for, respect of and love of life. All life. If we can learn that, if we pass nothing more than that along to our offspring, we will have done something important, worthwhile and perhaps even life-saving. Life is messy, though, and full of blurred lines and grey areas. A part of me suspects that even as I type those words, I am tempt- ing the fates. I’ve known wonderful parents who still had children go off the deep end. And in spite of all of our efforts, bad things do occasionally happen to good people. So what do we take away from all of this con- fusion? Love and respect one another while we’re here. That’s the rock I lash myself to. Really, what else can we do? -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

(60%) Total Votes: 114 MIKE JOHNSTON - MANAGING EDITOR Graduation a great time for reflection Usually I try to focus this column on what happens in our newsroom. I could write about the woman who called to say the police were watching her every night from their cop airplanes, or the 60-year-old man who was planning to sue the police after a tactical unit broke into his home (he decided against it). But this week I want to touch on some- thing a little personal, graduation ceremo- nies. Like many of our readers and a few staff members, I attended two grad cer- emonies a few weeks ago. My youngest graduated from Grade 8 and my oldest from Grade 12. I wasn’t prepared for the memories that flooded me as I sat in those sticky seats, watching my sons take their next step into becoming adults. When they were small they hung on our every word and tried whatever they could to impress us. Now, the call comes in to see what’s for dinner and if they have a better offer someplace else we won’t see them until late at night. It used to be we would take them to the beach and we would spend a whole day in the sand or running just into the water. Now they either want the car to go to the beach with their friends or just want a ride and text us when we are allowed to go and pick them up. It used to be movies were a great family outing and we would talk about our favou- rite scenes for hours after we got home. Now, if they do go to a movie with us, they sit rows away so it doesn’t look like they’re with their mom and dad. A lot has changed in the 18 years since our first baby was born; 18 years that went by in a blink of an eye. Ceremonies such as graduations are a good time to reflect. Our lives are so rushed now that when events come along that give us a chance to catch our breath and look back, we should grab it. I’ll have another chance to reflect next year when my other son graduates Grade 12. What memories will hit me then? -- Normally, managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom, but this week he was feeling a little nostalgic. OSHAWA -- Mary and Ron Young collected their items, including a Superman prop, after an appraisal at the Great Canadian Roadshow at the Oshawa Travelodge. I have shot a handful of events like this and usu- ally come away with a picture of someone hav- ing a more typical antique appraised. At this event I was immediately direct- ed to this Superman prop that had been used in films. The picture isn’t all that great but I’m sure it drew people to the story. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 13, 20118 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 13, 20119 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 25th Anniversary RickHansenRelay Pickering,ON Saturday,November5,2011 For more information,or to sendin yournominationsplease contact Prem Noronha-Waldriff,Coordinator,Community Recreation Programs,at 905.420.4660x3229or by e-mail at pnoronha-waldriff@cityofpickering.com The City ofPickeringislooking fora Medal-Bearerand 2 Alternates On November 5th the25th Anniversary RickHansen Cross CanadaRelay willbe comingthroughthe City of Pickering!RickHansen’s continuing journey to accelerate progress fora more healthy andinclusive world showsthat together we have thepower to makea difference.We have an excitingopportunity to selecta Medal-Bearer(and 2 alternates) whowill represent our community,andhave thehonourof carrying the RickHansenMedalonitsjourneythrough Pickering.

He also played a large part in bringing Pickering’s first post- secondary institution to the municipality with the recently announced Durham and Centen- nial colleges learning centre. While Mayor Ryan sometimes plays his cards close to his chest, he speaks openly but concisely when it comes to issues he’s pas- sionate about. For example, when council- lors were opposed to a proposed property tax increase, he challenged them to come back with a detailed list of items that could be cut, and two did. The mayor pushed for the pedes- trian walkway over Hwy. 401, which is current- ly under construction and will get people from the GO station to the new office tower. He has a vision for Pickering to be a sustainable and vibrant community and is determined to wel- come a hotel and convention centre, as well as a centre for the arts to the downtown. Bill Mclean Peter rodrigues dave ryan Jennifer o’connell Coun. O’Connell continues to fight for residents and issues she believes in. When residents were upset by a wireless tower being installed in a church parking lot in the Amberlea neighbourhood, she quickly wrote a motion asking the federal govern- ment to demand it be stopped. After she gained council support in an often divided group, the federal government did halt the tower’s construction until a compromise could be made. She also brought forward a list of items that could be cut from the 2011 budget to lower the tax increase, but it wasn’t supported by council. The councillor tends to be somewhat argumentative with fellow councillors and she can spend too much time on a single issue. She has brought an active voice to the Region, getting involved in debates at both Regional Council and the finance committee, on which she sits. Coun. McLean has the lowest expenses of the councillors returning for another term. He showed strong support for sustain- able initiatives over the year, such as vot- ing against a subdivision plan that wasn’t favoured by planning staff. He’s a big sup- porter of transparency, and has no qualms calling out other councillors, as well as developers, on ethical issues. For exam- ple, he brought to light an offer of Toronto Maple Leaf hockey tickets, which he turned down from the developers of controversial Pickering land. The fact that no one ran against him in the 2010 municipal election indicates he’s not doing too bad of a job. He has been largely invisible at the Region in the early part of the term. Coun. Rodrigues obviously cares about the community and is becoming familiar with the ins and outs of serv- ing his constituents. He’s very knowl- edgeable of local issues, stemming back to his time as a very vocal resident who attended most public meetings before being elected. The fact that he’s a north Pickering resident gives him familiarity with Seaton and the issue of a possible Pickering airport, to which he’s deep- ly opposed. While he doesn’t shy away from a challenge with councillors or presenters, he’s taking some time to get used to council proceedings. However we feel he has great potential of being an advocate for residents. At the Region, he’s been active in debates, particularly when it comes to the energy-from-waste facility. Kevin ashe doug dicKerson Coun. Dickerson continues to stand up for his community and makes strong points on sustainability and business issues at council meetings. He brings a good sense of humour to the meetings and attends many public events. He did an excellent job of bringing an appropriate plan to reduce the 2011 budget by $250,000 to get the property tax down to 2.99 per cent, which council approved. This included deferring some capital proj- ects, such as new council chamber chairs, to 2012. However, we cannot overlook his own spending during the 2010 municipal elec- tion campaign. Whether the Municipal Elections Act is flawed as Councillor Dick- erson suggests, he still managed to go over his limit by more than $14,000. Even the audit committee found it questionable, by approving an audit on his expenses. He is also the current council’s biggest spend- er. These points are responsible for the decrease in his grade. Coun. Ashe doesn’t talk too much at meet- ings but speaks when he’s passionate about an issue. In a somewhat divided council, he is often the one who will go against the norm, which makes it clear that he truly votes for what he feels is best for the com- munity. For example, he and his Ward 1 counterpart Coun. Jennifer O’Connell tend to vote opposite each other, but he helped her introduce her motion regarding the halt of a wireless tower in the Amberlea neigh- bourhood. He was opposed to a high prop- erty tax increase, and rather than simply complaining, he was able to offer sugges- tions to lower it. We do feel he should speak up a bit at meetings. attendance: committees (local) 18/18, (regional) 9/11, council 11/11, regional council 12/12 expenses: local $10,823.00 regional $1,610.87 attendance: committees (local) 18/18, (regional) 8/10, council 11/11, regional council 8/9 expenses: local $10,061.00 regional $0 attendance: committees (local) 14/18, (regional) 6/11, council 11/11, regional council 12/12 expenses: local $7,113.00 regional $2,547.03 attendance: committees (local) 12/12, (regional) 6/8, council 8/8, regional council 9/9 expenses: local $295.00 regional $0 attendance: council 8/8, committee 11/12 expenses: local $810.00 A B- B C+ 2010 grade A- 2010 grade B+ 2010 grade B+ 2010 grade NA 2010 grade NA Coun. Pickles gets involved in local heritage issues and continues to oppose a possible airport in north Pickering. He successfully convinced the federal gov- ernment to halt demolitions of a number of the buildings considered significant to the municipality until an alternate plan could be made. He stood up for Whitevale residents concerned about losing the serenity of their village with the future develop- ment of Seaton, by presenting a number of amendments on the issue when the neighbourhood plans came to council. He’s intelligent enough to acknowledge that some development will go ahead despite council’s position, such as the northeast Pickering lands, and urges staff and councillors to plan for it the best way possible rather than fight a losing battle. david PicKles A-regional, Ward 1 councillorregional, Ward 2 councillorregional Ward 3 councillorcity Ward 1 councillorcity Ward 2 councillorcity Ward 3 councillorMayorattendance: council 11/11, committee 17/18 expenses: local $8,029.00 2010 grade A- Grading system A- to A+ Excellent, best among peers B- to B+ Solid performance C- to C+ Average in most categories D- to D+ Needs improvement overall F Failure Pickering councillor report cards Expenses are for the 2010 year attendance: council 11/11, committee 17/18 expenses: local $13,004.00 2010 grade B- B+ B- durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 13, 201111 AP � � � � � � RogeR AndeRsonRegionAl, ChAiRmAnAttendance: Council, standing Committee 47/51, expenses: Conferences, conventions and meetings $23,734.51 mileage $ 5,981.35 2010 grade A- Overwhelmingly re-elected chairman in December, Roger Anderson sits atop the heap as the most powerful municipal pol- itician in Durham. He’s used the position to push the Region’s interest provincially and federally. Last year at this time, Durham politi- cians were upset at the provincial govern- ment’s decision to end Hwy. 407 at Sim- coe Street in Oshawa, rather than extend it all the way to Hwy. 35/115, as promised. In the spring, the Province backed down, slightly, and announced the 407 would go to Harmony Road in Oshawa and then out to the 35/115. This is likely the final term in which the Durham chairman will be selected by councillors. Regional council voted in December to start the process to have the chairman’s position be elected in 2014. Mr. Anderson has argued municipal governments should have access to sta- ble funding from the Province and fed- eral governments. The federal govern- ment agreed and included gas tax funding in its recent budget. The next provincial government might not be so amenable. Ontario is facing a huge deficit and the government will probably want to address that and not a municipal government request. He’s a strong leader, which is needed given the divergent interests among Dur- ham councillors.

Starting on Saturday, July 9 the library will be lending out Kobo e-readers to cli- ents from the Petticoat Creek and Central Library branches. “I am pleased that the library is able to provide an opportunity for all Pickering residents to use technologies and to learn from them,” said Cathy Grant, library CEO. “Libraries have always been about provid- ing free access to materials that enrich and inspire.

The group hosted a free fishing day for kids 14 and under on Saturday at Pickering’s Progress Park. First-time fishermen and experienced young anglers alike came out to enjoy the event, which is aimed at inspiring a love of fishing in young people. “It’s really to get kids interested in fishing,” said Vern Mason, of the Pickering Rod and Gun Club, noting that the event was timed to coincide with the province’s Family Fishing Week, which allowed licence-free fishing from Saturday, July 2 to Sunday, July 10. “We want to show them you don’t need a million dollars to go fishing, all you need is a rod and some worms. The kids really seem to like it, we had one girl who started coming here when she was five and now she’s 25 and she brings her own kids.” Club member Stephen Huntley, who also belongs to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, notes that peo- ple come from as far away as Thornhill and Brampton to fish alongside locals. “We want to show people you don’t have to go up north for fishing, you can do it right here in your own backyard,” he said. Fishing rods and reels were available for loan at the event and representatives of Muskies Canada were on hand to teach kids how to create their own fishing lures. “We just want to teach kids about fishing and encourage them to get outdoors,” said Jim Kelly, a member of the conser- vation group. “Nothing makes you happier than seeing a kid make his own lure and then catch a fish on it, they’re always so thrilled.” Whitby’s Tina Bittorf and David Hastings brought their chil- dren and some of their friends out to enjoy the day. “It’s great because it really gets them out fishing and intro- duces them to the sport,” Mr. Hastings said of the event. “It’s better than having them sit inside playing video games, this gets them outside and learning something new.” Nathan Rowe, 12, said he’s been fishing “since he’s been alive” and enjoys the sport. “It’s fun when you catch a fish but it’s also kind of scary because I don’t want the fish to eat me,” he said. “Today is fun, and it gets the family together. We’re using corn as bait today because we’re fishing for carp and they’re vegetarians.” Danielle Primeau and Emma Hogan, both 11, were also enjoying the day. “It’s relaxing,” Danielle said of fishing. “It’s nice because it’s not stressful, you can just relax and wait for them to bite.” However, the girls weren’t having much luck in the biting department. “It’s fun, but all I’ve caught so far is seaweed,” Emma said. Randy Singh, of Ajax, brought his two daughters out to intro- duce them to the sport. “They’ve never been fishing so I thought it would be a good chance for them to experience it for the first time,” he said. Jasmine Singh, 8, and her sister Brianna, 9, were both excit- ed to get started. When asked what they were most looking forward to they answered simultaneously, “catching a fish.” CoMMunity Fishing fun in Pickering Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRolanD PiCKeRinG -- emma Hogan, 11, left, and Danielle Primeau, 11, took part in the urban fishing festival hosted by the Pickering Rod and Gun Club at Progress Park on frenchman’s Bay July 9. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 13, 201113 AP Sav eUp To90%!o 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSSaveUpTo90%!

The Ajax resident delivered a key one-out RBI single to centre field to open the scoring in a 2-0 win over Aus- tralia on Sunday. It was a nice way to rebound from a 2-0 loss earlier in the day to Japan. Canada opened the tournament with an 8-1 decision over Venezuela on Saturday, but fell to the U.S. 3-1 on Mon- day night to even their record at 2-2. The tournament will run from July 9-17, with Canada playing a double round robin against Australia, Japan, the United States and Venezuela, with all five teams advancing to the playoff round. Baird, a short stop, is also expected to represent Canada in the U.S. World Cup of Softball to be played July 21-25 in Oklahoma City. Another local connection on the team is Melissa Basillio, an assistant coach from Pickering. HoCkey Scrymgeour returns to Reading Royals READING, PA -- Pickering native John Scrymgeour has signed again with the Reading Royals of the ECHL for one season. The Royals are the affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. In his rookie season last year, the 25 year old scored 10 goals, assisted on 12 others and registered 48 penalty minutes in 55 regular season games for the Royals. He also earned a late season three-game call-up to the Port- land Pirates of the American Hockey League. Last January, Scrymgeour repre- sented Reading in the 2011 ECHL All- Star Classic and Skills Competition. Prior to turning pro, Scrymgeour picked up 31 points on 12 goals and 19 assists, to go along with 54 penalty minutes in 132 games during a four-year career at Lake Superior State University. In his senior season with the Lakers, Scrymgeour received the team’s Soo BlueLiners Award. During his junior career, he played in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with Markham, Pickering and St. Michael’s. tRaCk Holder clears extra hurdle Pickering sprinter third at nationals in 100m hurdles bRad kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There were more than just the hurdles lined up in front of her that Nikkita Holder had to get over at the Canadian Track and Field Championships held recently in Calgary. The 24 year old from Pickering had to clear a big one before she even got out of the starting blocks after being tagged with a false start. A protest she launched created a lengthy delay, and when the group of eight finally lined up for the start of the 100m hur- dles a second time, Holder raced her way to a bronze medal finish. “It was interesting,” she said of the whole experience. “I had a verbal protest and was told I wasn’t allowed to run and my coach (Anthony McCleary) said I was allowed to run under protest. It was (because of) his persistence that they allowed me to run.” Holder was recounting the whole story from Moncton, New Brunswick, where she was getting ready to run later that night in a National Track League race. “I didn’t even think about it. All I wanted to do was run. Protests sometimes work funny. When I crossed the finish line my time didn’t show up. They didn’t have a time for me, but I knew I finished third. “I definitely went in thinking that I could medal. That was something that I wanted to do. If felt great to get up there,” on the medal podium, she said. It was a one-three finish for Pickering in the race, as Perdita Felicien won gold, mark- ing the 10th time in her career she has won the Canadian title. The third place finish was an improvement over the sixth Holder had at the same event last year. The Dunbarton graduate is hoping the progression with faster times and high- er placings continues until later in the sum- mer when she heads to South Korea for the World Championships from Aug. 27 to Sept. 4. She’s been on the track with an elite level of competition in the past, just not at the senior level. “Considering I’ve been to world juniors and world youth before, so I definitely have some sense of the experience,” she said. “Of course, this is at a much higher level. “I think I can get to the finals. I think I can do pretty well.” She’s done pretty well along the way, attending Missouri Baptist University for a year before getting a full scholarship to the University of Illinois for three years. Her resume includes a first place finish in the 100m hurdles in 2006, making her the national junior champion. She also has a third at the world youth championships and a fourth at the world juniors to her credit. This past week was a busy one, with National Track League races in Moncton, followed by another in Halifax. She’s home now, preparing for the final race of the series Wednesday in Toronto. Holder will be one of three from Pickering in the lineup, as she will race alongside Fel- icien in the 100m hurdles. Anson Henry is expected to run in the men’s 100m. Any local fans wishing to take in the Toron- to race can receive a special discount for the event at the University of Toronto’s var- sity track.

They faced that scenario this past weekend, having beaten the Brooklin Redmen 8-7 at the Ajax Community Centre on Friday, and set to host the Kitchener-Water- loo Kodiaks on Sunday. A victo- ry in that game would have been their second in a row, a total they couldn’t reach last season with all three wins followed by a loss each time. This season, after beating Kitch- ener-Waterloo (June 7) and Six Nations (June 24), they couldn’t convert the momentum into a win- ning streak, losing their next game on both occasions. Coming out of this weekend they are still looking for that elusive sec- ond win in a row, falling to Kitch- ener-Waterloo 11-9 on Sunday. All three periods of the game were close, with Kitchener-Water- loo winning the first 4-3 and the second 5-3, with the Rock holding a 3-2 advantage in the third. But overall, it was another mark in the loss column for the Rock, falling to 3-13-0 and into a tie for last place in the six-team league with Kitch- ener-Waterloo, who have the same number of wins and losses. Rookie Jordan MacIntosh led the team with a five-point night on two goals and three assists, while Jesse Guerin had four with two goals and two assists, and Jason Mainer equalled that total with four assists. Brandon Collins scored twice, with one each to Tyler Roche, Alex Cre- pinsek and Travis Bland. In the win over Brooklin, the Rock jumped out to a 5-2 lead through the opening 20 minutes and never trailed in the 8-7 victory. MacIntosh again led the way with two goals and two assists, with Col- lins also contributing a pair of goals in the win. Kiel Donahue, Russell Poulton, Crepinsek and Bland had the others. Tyler Carlson went the distance in goal to get the win. Just four games remain in the regular season, with a pair this weekend. On Friday the Rock host the Peterborough Lakers at 8 p.m., and on Sunday will entertain Six Nations at 7 p.m. Jason Liebregts / MetroLand AJAX -- Ajax Rock’s Mark Burnett reached to slash Brooklin Redmen’s Shawn Williams, right, in Major Series Lacrosse league action Friday at the Ajax Community Centre. The Rock won 8-7, but lost 11-9 to Kitchener-Waterloo on Sunday. MaJor series Lacrosse Second win in a row eludes Rock auto racing Crash ends day early for McColm at Molson Indy ajax nascar driver out early in toronto after hitting wall TORONTO -- Joey McColm entered the Streets of Toronto 100 with a sound game plan Sat- urday. The Ajax NASCAR racer start- ed 15th in Saturday’s 33-car field, and the goal was to avoid trouble early to mount a late challenge. His plan derailed on lap three when contact with another racer sent his Race Time Radio-spon- sored Dodge into the retaining wall and out of the race. “It’s frustrating,” said McColm after the race. “We came here wanting to have a great run in front of our hometown crowd. It was way too early in the race for that to happen.” McColm is running a limited schedule in 2011. He enjoyed a top-10 result at Mosport Inter- national Raceway recently, and he entered Toronto on an extremely limited budget. The tires he practised on were more than a year old. “We didn’t put on new tires until qualifying,” said McColm. “I wasn’t really sure what the car would do until we went out to turn a good lap. I was pleased with how well it ran.” McColm lost a couple spots racing conservatively at the start, but he was confident things would come his way as the race went on. “I was pretty confident the positions I lost at the start would come back to me later in the race,” said McColm. “I settled in to let things spread out, and I was shocked that I got squeezed up into the wall. The car is dam- aged pretty badly.” McColm plans to get repairs made in time to compete in Montreal with Espar as his pri- mary sponsor. Despite the set- backs this weekend, he has rea- son for optimism with the han- dling on his race car. “We never want to have set- backs like this,” said McColm. “But the car worked well, and I know we’ll have a better show- ing in Montreal.” it was way too early in the race for that to happen.

The final game was a match-up between Pickering Power and the Ajax FC Blast. Ajax defend- ers kept Pickering away from the net with zero goals against, while the offensive players attacked the Pickering net and put five goals away. Earlier in the season the girls brought home their other Cup victory of the season. The inaugural tournament for the Niag- ara Cup Classic allowed Ajax FC Blast to demon- strate great soccer and sportsmanship throughout the weekend. The defend- ers displayed incredible strength, endurance and skill and did not allow any goals throughout the weekend. The offensive players demonstrated great footwork and vision as they put away more than 20 goals throughout the weekend. The team has been train- ing very hard to prepare for the 2011 outdoor sea- son and the work of coach- es Karen Michalicka and Ken Burgess is evident on the field. The Blast play- ers include Anika Adlam, Brieanna Grant, Caitlyn Searle, Deja Newell, Giu- lia Giovinazzi, Grace Hur- ren, Imman Elberdi, Jaeda Grant, Maeve Campbell, Mikayla Moser, Mya Fal- con, Nyla Burgess and Savanna Stubbs.

With four athletes placing in the top three for figures in their respective age cat- egories and an additional six placements within the top three in team, solo and duet championship catego- ries, DSC swimmers were all aglow on the podium. In the 10-and-under cat- egory, Alicia Lopers took first place with Emily Bar- ton narrowly missing the podium, coming in sev- enth. Their provincial teammates also demon- strated strong performanc- es in figures, placing as fol- lows: Sarah Bianco (8th), Madeleine Schropp (10th), Nicole Exley (18th). Competing in the 11-12 figure category were Mad- eleine MacNeil (10th), Erin Clark (21st) and Tianna Henry (32nd). The 10-and- under team coached by Holley Lundmark and Jeni- lee Keslering finished first in the team finals. Alicia Lopers also performed a lively solo for the specta- tors. In the 11-12-year-old division, Samantha Low once again illustrated her prowess in the pool as she claimed another first place finish in figures. Her teammates held their own against many strong swimmers and achieved some personal bests: Julie Donnelle (12th), Nieve Iannarelli (14th), Hope Grant (20th), Mina Mlad- neovic (29th) and Amelia Massie (32nd). In the 11-12 team finals, DSC’s team coached by Sarah Stokes and Debbie Sands ranked third in a fan- tastic performance. Con- tinuing top podium fin- ishes were Samantha Low (1st) in solo and the duet team of Tianna Henry and Madeleine MacNeil (3rd). In 13-year-old figures, Elizabeth Kozak (11th), Brooke Evans (15th), Alison Exley (16th) and Madelyn Minaret (18th) performed well. In 14-year-old figures, Reyanne Padgett took third place followed by strong finishes by Rhiannon Major (8th), McKenzie Broad (13th) and Victoria Wight. Caitlin Schropp took the top podium spot in 15-year- old figures while Karissa Schippers was 23rd in the 16-20 category. DSC’s 13-15-year-old provincial team earned a third-place finish in team championships, displaying the power of dance to win over a crowd.
