REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Chevrolet Volts are set to hit the streets this fall, but is Durham ready for the electric car? At a recent presentation to the community advisory group for the Pickering nuclear plant, Plug’n Drive Ontario president and CEO Cara Clairman said the demand for electricity from electric vehicles in the next few years can be met and is not a significant issue. The non-profit Plug’n Drive Ontario was cre- ated to act as a one-stop information source on electric vehicles. Ms. Clairman is currently on leave from her job as vice-president of sustainability for Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to work with Plug’n Drive Ontario and she said OPG has looked at scenarios where three per cent and five per cent of cars go electric. Even in the lat- ter scenario, there may be enough electricity. “If people do plug in at night, we have lots of capacity, the issue will be day-time charging,” she said. Electric cars will soon hit Durham streets OSHAWA ONE OF SEVEN CANADIAN CITIES FOR VOLT RELEASE SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Veridian CEO Michael Angemeer with the Chevrolet Volt, an electric vehicle. 1822 Whites Rd.

Once a scourge, with images of children wearing metal braces or people spending a lifetime in an iron lung, polio has been eradicated from much of the world, thanks in part to the worldwide efforts of Rotary clubs, including those in Durham Region. Rotary International got involved in fighting polio in 1979 in the Philippines, says Dr. Bob Scott, a retired physician in Cobourg. “At that time, we immunized six million children against polio. So, it was successful,” says Dr. Scott, a longtime Rotarian at both the local and district level. The disease remains in four countries -- India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. “To this day, we haven’t stopped the circulation of the wild virus,” he says. The virus is passed from person to person and is contracted through fecal-oral contact. In an undeveloped country, drink- ing water could be contaminated, helping to spread the dis- ease. “That’s how it spreads, then it gets in their gut,” Dr. Scott states. In a small number of cases, polio can lead to paralysis or deformities in limbs. Despite the challenges, India hasn’t had a case in the last six months and only had one in the past year, Dr. Scott notes. “We’ve been through an enormous population and the kids who are susceptible. It was a huge success,” he adds. In Nigeria, there were 300 to 400 cases three years ago. “This year, so far, there have been 11 cases,” he says. “It’s another amazing thing.” There have been eight cases in Afghanistan this year. “However, to date, Pakistan is probably our problem child,” he says, noting there are about 60 cases. “Some will say that’s not a huge number,” Dr. Scott states, but notes every child who gets polio can infect another 200. “It gets in the legs, then arms and breathing muscles. Unfor- tunately, that’s when the child dies,” he says. “These four countries have, unfortunately, spread the virus out of their area,” Dr. Scott says, adding it’s possible polio could re-emerge in countries where it had been wiped out. In some countries, routine immunizations are a low prior- ity. “These countries, there’s no money and no infrastructure,” he says, pointing to Chad and the Republic of Congo. “They will develop polio cases again. We have to go back and revac- cinate all these countries again. The problem is it’s tremen- dously expensive.” About five years ago, the Gates foundation joined WHO, UNICEF, the Centres for Disease Control in Atlanta, and Rota- ry International and the Rotary Foundation. “Bill Gates had an aunt who had polio and she had to wear a brace all her life,” Dr. Scott notes. Mr. Gates’s father convinced his son to get involved in fight- ing polio and “boy, have they ever. They’ve stated publicly the number one obligation of the Bill and Melinda Gates Founda- tion is to eradicate polio. The challenge is great.” About $355 million would be needed, with Rotary clubs worldwide promising to raise $200 million by July of next year. To date, about $180 million has been raised. “I have no doubt we’ll raise $200 million. Knowing Rotary and Rotarians, undoubtedly we’ll come in,” he states. Each club worldwide is committed to raising $2,000 a year for three years. “In some parts of the world, that’s a lot of money to raise. Many, many of these clubs have done it,” Dr. Scott says. Rotary clubs in North and South America, Europe and Aus- tralia will “raise much more than $2,000,” he notes. “I’m loathe to give an opinion” on when the virus will be eradicated, Dr. Scott adds. “The present strategic plan forecasts it will end by 2012. India will be polio free, Nigeria will be polio free. Afghanistan will be polio free, if Pakistan can get it’s place in order,” he adds. “The best thing about the new plan is that it has built into it an independent monitoring board. In my mind, it’s the best thing that can happen. This group will hold our noses to it,” Dr. Scott says. “It’s the number one asset of the new plan. It wasn’t in the previous plan.” Mike Finigan, president of the Whitby Rotary Club, says the End Polio Now campaign is a “main focus” for Rotary Interna- tional. “It filters down to every club. It’s been one of our biggest focuses,” Mr. Finigan says. Of the funds raised locally, a portion goes to the fight against polio, he says. “Really, what happens is you get one or two Rotary Clubs matched up and one or two groups passionate about some- thing. They get together. There are a number of different areas of focus. Polio is our focus,” he states. Rotarians will feel over-joyed once the disease has been eradicated, Mr. Finigan says. “It’s one of the things that will put Rotary on the map,” he says, adding it’s a change that people can make. Getting involved in the polio-eradication effort was a “big step for Rotary,” says Dr. Scott. “Normally, it has been a local organization. We’d never done such big things international- ly.” In 1985, the board overseeing Rotary decided to get involved in more international projects. “We would raise money (and buy the vaccine) and give it to a country that requested it. From 1985 to 1988, we campaigned to raise enough funds.” The goal was $120 million, but about $247 million was raised. “It was quite extraordinary.” The World Health Association (a different body than the World Health Organization {WHO}) meets in Geneva once a year. “They were proud of themselves to say that small pox had been eliminated.” There were 169 countries in the WHA and it decided polio would be the next illness to be eradicated, Dr. Scott states.

Private funeral held for Rick McColl who was struck, killed by VIA train in Pickering RekA Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON -- Family and friends said goodbye to CN worker and Hampton resi- dent Rick McColl at a private ceremony on Monday afternoon. Mr. McColl, 53, was killed on the job Thursday afternoon when the CN mainte- nance engineer was struck by a VIA train in Pickering. He leaves behind his wife Pam and two adult sons, 19-year-old Harley and 21-year-old Ben. He had lived in Hampton for about 12 years. “He was a great father, very charitable; he volunteered for a disabled ski program and he loved to sail,” said son Harley McColl. He said his father was just nine months away from retiring when the accident occurred, and had made plans. “He wanted to travel with Mom around North America, and he has a sailboat and wanted to take that sailing and kind of explore,” he said. Instead, the family was left reeling after the news of Mr. McColl’s death. “Everyone is pretty shocked and every- one’s pretty upset and we have great fami- ly and friends and they’re here for us when we need them,” said Harley McColl. Friends, neighbours and co-workers left messages of condolences for the family on the Courtice Funeral Chapel’s website. “One of the best guys I ever worked with, a friend forever,” read one post. “(I) remember his first day at CN like it was yesterday. Went on to become a great boss to work for treating you the way he would like to be treated. Took me sailing on his sailboat which he loved. Played guitar with him plenty of euchre nights, tons of good times, great memo- ries. Taken away to soon.” Another neigh- bour said Mr. McColl “gave so much” to the Hampton Community. “Whether we would see him head out on a bike ride or pack up for the cottage, we always remember Rick with his smile,” read the post. “But our favorite memory and the memory our children will cher- ish for a lifetime is Rick (as) our Hampton Santa.” Others remembered his volunteer work with the Canadian Association for Dis- abled Skiing. The incident leading to Mr. McColl’s death is being investigated by CN and Dur- ham Regional Police. Inspector Dave Saliba from Durham police said two men were doing mainte- nance work on the tracks during a 15- to 20-minute window when no trains were supposed to pass. However, what appears to have been a miscommunication resulted in the VIA train coming through, Insp. Sali- ba said. One worker ran north while the other went south when they saw and heard the train approaching, Insp. Saliba said. Mr. McColl, going south, was struck by the westbound train, the inspector said, adding that the other worker was not injured. Durham police do not expect to lay charges, Insp. Saliba said. “It’s just an unfortunate incident that occurred,” he said. Harley McColl sums up what he’d like people to know about his father. “How great, loving and caring he was and how much he’ll be missed,” he said. The family asks that people wanting to make a charitable donation in Rick McCo- ll’s name should donate to the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing, www.dis- abledskiing.ca. --With files from Torstar News Services RAIl ACCIdent Family, friends say goodbye to Durham CN worker SubMItted Photo DURHAM -- Rick McColl, a CN worker who was killed when hit by a VIA train last week in Pickering, was laid to rest in a pri- vate ceremony on Monday. he was a great father, very charitable; he volunteered for a disabled ski program and he loved to sail.

AJAX -- Recognizing years of support from Ajax firefighters, Muscular Dystrophy Canada has named Ajax Fire and Emergency Services the Ontario fire department of the year. The award is presented to fire departments that demonstrate excellence in fundraising, pub- lic relations, education, chapter development and advocacy work. The Ajax Professional Fire Fighters’ Association (APFFA) worked with the fire department on several charity events over the years that benefited Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Among the association’s activities is the annual boot drive, where firefighters invite residents to toss change into boots at local plazas and facili- ties. They also supported the organization with proceeds from an association barbecue this past year, raising their donation to $15,000 from $6,743 in the preceding year. “We are honoured to be a continued supporter of Muscular Dystrophy Canada,” said Ajax Fire Chief Mark Diotte. “Ajax firefighters are commit- ted to helping our community in many differ- ent ways. Neuromuscular disorders affect over 50,000 Canadians including some of our own residents.” This year’s boot drive will be held on Sept. 17. community Ajax firefighters win award for charity work breaking news: all day, every day >> Airport What legacy will be left for Pickering lands? To the editor: Re: ‘Possibility of Pickering airport revived’ news, July 13, 2011. It was very disheartening to read the recently released Transport Canada study recommending the construction of an air- port on the Pickering lands. The report suggests that the proposed airport represents an “economic and envi- ronmental opportunity” for the GTA. Unfortunately there is no mention of the devastating loss of 18,600 acres of prime agricultural land or the adverse conse- quences to the adjoining conservation lands that would ensue. Nor does it account for the negative impact to the quality of life for surrounding residents. I believe the voting public is looking for greater accountability these days. There are, however, some real opportunities for leadership at the government level on this matter. This site will eventually be a political leg- acy one way or another. It will either be a lasting example of squandering our resources for the eco- nomic benefit of a few or it could become the hub of a renewed focus on local food production and a worthy inheritance for future generations. If our current leaders could see that fos- silizing our farmland in cement is no lon- ger an acceptable solution, they could take steps now to prevent a future government from making that very mistake. That would be a legacy. Dan Raue Pickering Eco fEEs Time to get past rhetoric on waste diversion To the editor: Re: ‘Tim Hudak slams eco fees in Oshawa’ news, durhamregion.com, July 7, 2011. We will continue to fail our environ- ment, our economy and our pocketbooks if the depth of debate on waste diversion and eco fees is based on either the falla- cy that you can increase waste diversion without paying for it or that everything is working perfectly in our waste diversion programs. Ontario has made a great deal of prog- ress on waste diversion over the last few years. However, problems with our diversion laws have been well documented and changes are needed to ensure they are efficient, effective and better deal with the over 12.5 tonnes of waste Ontario creates annually. Producer responsibility programs can be the most efficient and effective to drive diversion and are used successfully in other jurisdictions in Canada, the United States and around the world. We need to learn from other jurisdic- tions and from our own suc- cesses with the Blue Box and the used tire program. Open and competitive recycling programs that make indi- vidual producers responsible for the cost of recycling their products and include enforceable targets would go a long way to fixing our current system. These costs should not be off-loaded onto taxpayers at either the municipal or pro- vincial level. It’s time to get past the rhetoric -- people want solutions. In the upcoming provincial election, we hope each political party will clearly articulate what they will do to advance our shared desire to increase diversion while ensuring accountable, efficient and effec- tive waste diversion.

But for the generations-spanning effort of Rotary clubs in communities across the nation, untold numbers of anonymous Canadians might never have been able to take the simplest of steps. Those ongoing efforts by Rotary, now primarily focused in less advanced and less wealthy nations, continue even today. Here in Canada, a well-developed immu- nization system is in place to provide pro- tection against a host of viruses, polio among the cocktail of immunizations pro- vided to children. That’s not the case in countries where Rotary is busily working, with the deep pockets of Microsoft founder Bill Gates no less, to provide immunizations to less for- tunate nations. Here at home in Durham, local Rotary clubs have committed to raising $2,000 every year for the next three years, as has every club worldwide, in a bid to raise a global total of $200 million. That money will be used in a concen- trated effort to inoculate as many chil- dren as possible, with a view to eradicat- ing polio entirely. And it certainly seems attainable. Dr. Bob Scott, a retired physician from Cobourg and longtime Rotarian notes that strategic forecasts indicate India, Nigeria and Afghanistan could well be polio-free by the end of next year if vaccination pro- grams are carried out as planned. Durham Region residents -- some of whom may have been touched by polio through the generations -- can do their part and help donate to the cause and allow local Rotary clubs to meet their fundraising targets. As well, residents can take part in ‘An Evening to End Polio’ featuring the Ontar- io Philharmonic at the University of Ontar- io’s Regent Theatre in downtown Oshawa in early September. To most of us, polio is a thing of the past, something a great uncle or aunt endured in their lifetime. But it is still a scourge in other parts of the world that can be over- come with existing know-how, estab- lished systems and some much-needed funding. Do what you can to assist local Rotary clubs in this worthwhile mission, either through a simple donation to the cam- paign, or by attending the September fundraiser. I don’t know about you but I am very much a creature of habit. I have my rou- tines and I stick to them. I get up in the morning, I shower, shave, put on some- thing frilly and make my coffee. If I’m actually lucky enough to be employed on that day, I drive to Toronto, taking the same route day in and day out, in the same comfortable car, where all the same knobs and buttons do all the same things they’ve done for the years I’ve been driving it. If I’m not working in the city, I’m writing. Sitting at the same desk, in the same chair, working on the same computer, sipping tea from the same big mug. It’s all very efficient and functional. Or at least it was. In the past week my life has gone from comfortable predictability to complete mayhem. It’s like my world is a snow globe that some kid can’t stop shak- ing. I have moved to a new home in a new town and just to make things fun I thought I’d purchase a new car while I’m at it. Just as a side note, I’m also never truly happy, apparently, unless I’m living under the weight of crushing debt. Anyway, all of these things have con- verged to turn my life on its head. Noth- ing is routine anymore. Nothing. Getting a drink of water is suddenly a heart-stop- ping adventure when you haven’t a clue where the hell the glasses have gotten to. And the worst of it is that you find yourself in a constant state of mental retardation. You don’t know where anything is and you have to carry a slip of paper around with you with your address and phone number written on it. I half expect to be brought home in the back seat of a Durham Region Police cruis- er one of these nights. “Very sorry to bother you ma’am. We found him wandering around the street, crying. Luckily he had this slip of paper pinned to his shirt with his address on it.” It’s nearly that bad. And like I said, in my infinite wisdom I thought this might be an ideal time to also get acclimatized to the nuances of a new vehicle. I don’t know if you drive new vehi- cles much. I don’t. I tend to buy a car and drive it until it composts itself. Which means every decade or so I’m faced with a pretty steep learning curve. Not to mention a monthly payment that could pull Greece out of the dumper. To put this into perspective for you I’ve gone from a 2000 Beetle to a 2011 Golf. At the mind-boggling speed of today’s tech- nology, that’s akin to someone trading in a Conestoga Wagon for the keys to the Space Shuttle. The Large Hadron Collider has a smaller owner’s manual than this thing. So here I am, inside the snow globe, the bits and pieces of my world spinning around me like confetti in a windstorm. Still, I’m OK. Better than OK, actually. In the midst of all of this upheaval I can feel something very important taking root. Parts of my brain, long atrophied by rou- tine, are lighting up again.

JOANNE BURGHARDT Elton John puts a shine on Oshawa We got some great news this week: Elton John is coming to Oshawa! Lately things have been coming up roses for the General Motors Centre and what better way to kick off the 2011-12 con- cert season than with a performance by a music industry legend? More than one person has asked, with shock and perhaps a bit of sarcasm, ‘Why Oshawa?’. To that I say, ‘Why not?’ Just one more example of how the tide has been turning in the city in recent years. There’s a lot of smack talk about Oshawa whether it’s the downtown and some neglected buildings -- the Genosha Hotel comes to mind -- or the controversies that seem drawn to city politics like moths to a seductive flame; or about growing pains associated with its number one asset, the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy. Some of the criticism is fair, some of it the product of gossip mongers with far too much time on their hands, and some of it is totally undeserved. I for one am thrilled to see that the Elton John concert has generated a lot of excite- ment over the past two days as the phones ring off the hook, every friend you never knew you had looking for an in on obtain- ing tickets. In the past three weeks our journalists have covered some very unpleasant sto- ries: shootings, beatings, a murder, drown- ings, fires, political infighting but a few of them. But on Friday we’ll be most happy to spend the early morning hours chatting with happy concert goers as they line up in their attempt to snag tickets for the biggest concert in Durham Region’s recent histo- ry. Never seen him, love his music, love the showmanship: I’ll be one of those people really hoping to score tickets on Friday. -- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt can be found tweeting away on Twitter @jbnewsdurham durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 20, 20118 P There may also be problems ultimately in older neighbourhoods with older trans- formers if a cluster of residents end up pur- chasing electric vehicles. But overall, it presents an opportunity for Ontario because as it stands, Ontario often has to sell excess energy at night at bar- gain-basement prices. That’s because Ontario’s base load is nuclear and nuclear plants can’t be turned off at night. Often, the electricity is sold to Hydro Quebec where most of the power is hydroelectric. Ms. Clairman said that with the clos- ing of coal plants, transportation becomes the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions in the province. Since nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases, electric vehicles charged at night wouldn’t either. “At night time, particularly, we have real- ly clean electricity,” she said. GM’s Volt is set to launch this fall and other vehicles, such as the Nissan Leaf, are already available. Dan Mepham, product manager for the Chevrolet Volt, said GM’s first plug-in car will at first be released in seven major met- ropolitan areas: Oshawa, Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Victoria. The electric range for the Volt is 40 kms to 80 kms on a full charge; using climate control like air conditioning or heating will put the range on the lower end of the scale. Beyond that range, a gasoline engine kicks in extending the car’s range by 500 kms. For many people, the electric range may be enough. “We know the vast majority of Canadi- ans commute less than 30 kms a day,” said Mr. Mepham. His own commute is about 20 kms to north Whitby from Oshawa’s GM headquarters. “I drive a Volt for two or three weeks and I don’t use any gas,” he said. With an upgraded 240-volt electric out- let, the type used by most clothes dryers, it takes about four hours to fully charge the Volt. But the Volt can also be plugged into a typical 110-volt outlet where it takes 10 hours to charge. Mr. Mepham estimates a charge costs $1 to $1.20. The Volt’s sticker price of $41,545 may seem like a lot, but Mr. Mepham points out Ontario residents are eligible for a $8,230 rebate and Quebec residents are eligible for a $7,669 rebate. Veridian CEO Michael Angemeer pre- viously drove an electric vehicle for three years, which has now been donated to UOIT, and he is on the list to become a Volt driver in the fall. In order to prepare for electric vehicles, Veridian, which is the electric utility for Pickering, Ajax, Clarington and Belleville, is participating in a demonstration proj- ect that saw charging stations installed at Veridian sites in Ajax and Bowmanville. “The idea there is to demonstrate the next generation of charging stations and also to better understand the vehicle’s impact on the electricity grid,” said Mr. Angemeer. Veridian also added a plug-in hybrid bucket truck to its fleet in 2010. Mr. Angemeer pointed out some of the work on extending the Volt’s battery life was done in Oshawa through GM and UOIT. He said electric vehicles fit well with the local economy. “I think it’s a real opportunity for the economy because we already have auto- motive and energy,” he explained. Driving a plug-in car for three years means that Mr. Angemeer has answered a lot of questions about electric vehicles from the public and he sees a lot of interest in Durham. Mr. Mepham said a lot of interest in the Volt isn’t coming from environmentalists only, but from car buffs as well. “Anecdotally I see more interest from car people, BMW, Mercedes, Audi drivers more than Prius drivers,” said Mr. Mepham. Overall, Mr. Angemeer predicts that improved batteries and rising gas prices may make electric vehicles more attrac- tive. He points out that time-of-use pricing means electricity is cheapest when most electric vehicles are charging. “There’s all this talk about rising electric- ity ... but we see this as a great way to get better use out of our system,” he added.

Thedeadline forapplicationsis Wednesday,July27,2011 by 4:30pm. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 20, 201110 AP Following the end of high school and the beginning of a new journey for one Durham student KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s two-and-a-half hours away. This is what Henny Gibson says of her daughter’s upcoming and inevitable move to university. “She’s been talking about it since Grade 10,” she says. And that bittersweet time for her daughter Kelly Gibson to leave the comfort of home and move away to residence at her university of choice is almost here. “Every year seems to go faster,” Ms. Gibson says. “High school just flies by. It’s only four years; grade school is 10. So it’s there and gone.” But this parent isn’t alone. Thousands of students across Durham Region are saying farewell to their homes, friends, and families and in Septem- ber they’ll move onto something entirely new. “I don’t know what to expect but I’m excited,” Kelly, 18, says just minutes after graduating from Father Leo J. Austin Catho- lic Secondary School in Whitby. In September, she’ll leave her mom, dad, brother and sister in Whitby and move to London, where she’ll study science at the University of Western Ontario. “I’ve heard from people that it’s going to be tough but I’m excited because I feel like I’m ready to move on,” she says. “I’ve been here for so long. I’ve lived in Whitby my whole life. So I’m excited to go to London and see a new place.” Her friend Tiffany Ferinhough, who graduated but is stick- ing close to home next year, says although she’ll miss her friends being nearby, the change is inevitable. “Its a new step, a new journey, that everyone has to take,” she says. Kelly’s friend Phil Clarke will head off to the University of Toronto, also leaving home. He says leaving his friends and family will be a little tough, but the Internet and social net- working will help him stay in touch with friends and family. Like Kelly, he’s ready for the experience. “It’s my time to go into adulthood,” he says. Ms. Gibson says her daughter, an Ontario Scholar, has a great work ethic but with the anticipation leading up to uni- versity, “I hope it’s not too different from what she’s thinking. “This is the first time on her own. She bounces a lot of stuff off me with courses and decisions and now she won’t have that. There’s the phone of course.” Scott Dempsey, first-year experience co-ordinator at UOIT, says students coming to university for the first time will expe- rience a transition period before feeling completely comfort- able in their new surroundings. “There’s a newly acquired freedom when coming to university from high school,” he says. Sarah King, UOIT manager of first year and transition servic- es, explains UOIT offers a sum- mer program to help new stu- dents and their families prepare for the transition into university. Other universities have similar options for incoming students. The students will learn how to tackle new responsibilities, such as time management -- one of the big changes students will experience. This is one of Kelly’s concerns. “I’m looking forward to new friends, a new city,” she says. “I’m not looking forward to leaving my friends and family, figuring things out on my own, making my own schedule and trying to figure everything out.” The new students also get a sample lecture and will meet afterward to ensure they captured the main points. Ms. King says a large lecture hall is quite different from a tradition- al high school classroom. And the fact that each student at UOIT, for example, has a laptop with them at all times will require them to focus and not get lured away by the tempta- tions of the Internet. It’s also important for them to remember that although the number of students will be larger, they’re still expected to par- ticipate. Staff also wants to teach students that dealing with a problem is different in university; they’ll have to seek help, rather than help finding them. “You will have to make that active choice to go and get to it,” Mr. Dempsey says. The summer program will also familiarize parents with the resources available to students since their children often ask them before anyone else for help with issues at the school, Mr. Dempsey says. It’s also important for parents and students to know that as per the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, once a student is in university, their parents are no longer entitled to academic information on their children. “It really changes that relationship to be between the student and the parent,” Mr. Dempsey says. Being homesick and making new friends can be another concern for new students. By attending orientation, they’ll often meet people they’ll later see in classes or around campus, Ms. King says. “It’s hard to leave all of those supports behind and coming to school, but they learn about new friends and supports they have here,” Mr. Dempsey says, adding most students are in a similar position. Activities include scavenger hunts around the school to get them familiar with their new stomping grounds, and outings into the downtown. Ms. King’s biggest piece of advice: “Come to orientation. It’s so important.” Kelly will know at least one person at Western: her boy- friend, who is going into his second year. Although she admits his attending the university may have played a small part in her accepting the Western offer, it wasn’t the reason. “I wanted to go to Western before I met him,” she says. But it will be a little less scary knowing at least one person there. As for her new responsibility to feed herself, Kelly’s thrilled to have a meal plan.

In August, Legion branches nationwide will be hosting Afghan Veterans Appre- ciation Day events to honour Canadi- an forces members who served in the Afghanistan conflict. In Pickering, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 will be hosting a day-long celebration on Satur- day, Aug. 13, beginning at 11 a.m. “This is a new thing where Legions have been asked to step up and honour our veterans,” said Myrna Picotte, past-president of the Legion. “As the war winds down as far as Can- ada is concerned, we’re let- ting the vets know we support them, we care about them, and we appreciate all they’ve done.” Legion members have already planted a tree in the facility’s memorial garden and a plaque will be installed noting that it was planted in honour of Afghan vet- erans. Their Afghan Veterans Appreciation Day will feature a barbecue and all-day entertainment as well as a gun salute, wreath laying, and possibly a fly-by. Ms. Picotte estimates that about 25 local Afghan veterans will be on hand for the festivities. “We want them to know that they won’t be forgotten,” she said, comparing the Afghanistan conflict to the Korean War, whose vets were not formally recognized until many years after the war wrapped up. The new event was mandated by the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Com- mand as a way to show gratitude to all the men and women who served in Afghani- stan as the combat mission moves into a new phase. “Words are not enough to show how grateful we are,” said Patricia Varga, Dominion president. “We know that there are many troops still serving overseas in this mission, but we believe that the end of this combat phase is a great opportunity to recognize and thank our troops for what they’ve achieved so far,” Ms. Varga said. “What better way to tell our troops that they’ve made us proud to be Canadian than to cheer them on in person?” Legions nationwide will be hosting events on or around Saturday, Aug. 20. Afghanistan veterans and their families will be invited as guests of honour and all veterans will receive a gift and a free one-year Legion membership.

Following losses of 14-12 to the Peterborough Lakers last Friday and 10-7 to the Six Nations Chiefs on Sunday, the Rock enter the final two games of the Major Series Lacrosse regular season looking to get back into the win column and stop the Brooklin Redmen in their quest for second place and a first-round playoff bye. If the result of their last meet- ing can be taken as an indica- tion, the Rock will give the Red- men all they can handle in the two games this week, the first coming tonight at Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby and the other Friday night at the Ajax Community Centre. Both games are 8 p.m. starts. Despite the fact 16 points and four spots in the standings sep- arate the two clubs, the Redmen (11-7) haven’t forgotten about the 8-7 win that the Rock (3-15) registered earlier this month. “They work real hard and are getting better and better each time they go out there,” Redmen coach/GM Wayne Colley says of the Rock. “They’re a scary team to play against.” A similar performance by the Rock this time around in one or both of these games will make the road to second much tougher for Brooklin, which, on the flipside, with two wins will successfully fend off Bramp- ton and Six Nations and slot in just behind Peterborough in the standings. The Rock, meanwhile, aside from looking to be the spoilers, will be playing to get out of the MSL basement. Just two points back of Kitch- ener-Waterloo prior to the Kodi- aks’ game last night at home to Brampton, the Rock would love to avoid finishing last for the second consecutive year. Either way, however, they will be in line for a tough playoff opponent in any one of Brook- lin, Brampton or Six Nations, depending on how the final couple of games for those teams play out. -- with files from Brian McNair notes An attempt to reach Rock coach/ GM Paul St. John prior to print deadline was unsuccessful ... Jordan McIntosh had a big game against Peterborough, scoring three goals and seven points, while Travis Bland (3-2), Jesse Guerin (1-4) and Jason Mainer (0-5) each had five point nights. Other goals came from Tyler Pridham, Alex Crepinsek, Brandon Collins and Brock Boyle with a pair ... Tyler Carlson took the loss in goal ... Against Six Nations, a poor second period saw the Rock outscored 6-1 paving the way to the loss. Leading the offense was McIntosh with two goals and three points. Other goal scorers were Russell Poul- ton, Mainer, Collins, Crepinsek and Elliot Bender ... Carlson played that one as well ... Head- ing into the final two games, Mainer leads the club in scoring with 21 goals, 36 assists and 57 points. Those totals leave him in seventh place in the league, one back of John Tavares. basketbaLL Cory Joseph likely to get shot with national team Pickering guard to assist in canada’s olympic Games qualifying bid TORONTO -- Although his name wasn’t on the original camp ros- ter of 17, the path is being paved for Cory Joseph to suit up for Canada’s men’s national basket- ball team this summer. The Pickering native and first round draft pick of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, is awaiting the final details of an insurance agreement obtained by Canada Basketball that will allow him to suit up, according to a report on basketballbuzz.ca. Once cleared, Joseph will hit the floor with others for train- ing camp at Ryerson Universi- ty as the team prepares for the 2011 FIBA Americas Champion- ship in Mar del Plata, Argentina, from Aug. 30 to Sept. 11. That event is a qualifier for the 2012 Olympic Games in Lon- don. Joseph is expected to challenge for the starting point guard job under head coach Leo Rautins and his staff. In his last showing with Canada at the international level, Joseph averaged nearly 14 points at the 2009 FIBA U19 World Champi- onships. Canada’s first phase of train- ing camp is ongoing and runs through to July 23. The club will then get into game action with a European Tour against France, Italy and the Czech Republic from July 24 to Aug. 5 before another session at Ryerson later next month. Meanwhile, Joseph’s name wasn’t the only notable omis- sion from the list. His longtime teammate at both Findlay Prep in Las Vegas and the University of Texas, Tristan Thompson, was not among those on the list, but for a much different reason. Thompson was recently the highest Canadian player ever drafted to the NBA when the Cleveland Cavaliers select- ed the Brampton native fourth overall, and after a long year that culminated with his selec- tion, Thompson has stated his plans to take the summer off, that despite an NBA lockout that threatens to curb some, if not all of the 2011-12 season. Other notable names that did appear on the list, however, include Miami Heat centre Joel Anthony of Montreal and Andy Rautins, a guard with the New York Knicks. Anthony will be experienc- ing his fifth go-around with the national team. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 20, 201115 AP Photo by Peter Figura holding court TORONTO -- Ajax resident Raheel Manji won the U14 Wilson junior outdoor provincial championships earlier this month at Kew Gardens Tennis Club in Toronto. In the final, Manji defeated William Tutechy by scores of 6-3 and 6-1. This is Manji’s third provincial title. hockey Panthers add three more to the fold Junior a hockey team will also change divisions for 2011-12 season PICKERING -- Three more players have agreed to join the Pickering Panthers for the 2011- 12 Ontario Junior Hockey League season. The team announced on Sun- day that rookie forwards Tanner Bull and Aidan Wallace, along with former Streetsville Derby’s forward Kyle Davis have signed on with the organization. Bull joins the club after playing last year at Hill Academy, where in 54 games the six-foot 200- pound player had 15 goals and 32 points. Wallace, a sixth round draft pick of the London Knights in the most recent Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection, joins Pickering from the Don Mills Fly- ers’ minor midget program. A left winger, Wallace was one of 12 players off his Don Mills team to be drafted by an OHL team this past spring. In 31 games last season, Wal- lace had 14 goals and 26 points. Davis, meanwhile, is the only one of the three with experience in the league, having played 15 games last season for the now- defunct Derby’s organization. With these latest additions, the total number of new players brought into the fold by Pickering since the middle of May is up to seven. In other news involving the team, after another summer of contraction within the league, the division’s have been realigned and the Panthers will play out of the South Division. Joining them will be Missis- sauga, North York, St. Michael’s, Toronto, Toronto Lakeshore and Vaughan, according to point- streak.com. Last season the Panthers played out of the East Division and fin- ished in last place, winning just 14 times in 50 games. ocaa Schedules announced for Durham Lords varsity athletics OSHAWA -- Schedules for the 2011-12 varsity athletics season at Durham College have been released. And, as usual, there are plenty of highlights, including the 2011 OCAA women’s fastball cham- pionship, as the Lords look to defend their provincial title. That event will take place on cam- pus at Durham Fields from Oct. 21-22 and will feature the top four teams in Ontario. This marks the second straight year Durham has hosted the event. One of the busier days of the fall comes early, Sept. 17 to be exact, as the Lords’ men’s baseball, women’s fastball and both men’s and women’s soccer programs host their home openers. Home openers for the other four major programs at Durham, men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s volley- ball, will came much later in the season. The volleyball teams will host on Nov. 1, with the basketball programs taking to the court Nov. 18. Other scheduled events of note include a half dozen annual tour- naments that the Lords play host to.

A group led by Canadian actor Mark Taylor -- of Being Erica, Flashpoint and Instant Star fame -- was granted one of four expan- sion teams for this upcoming season, joining Charlottetown, Moncton and London alongside the league’s founding franchis- es, the Halifax Rainmen, Quebec Kebs and St. John Mill Rats. There had been rumblings over the past couple of years with regards to expansion within the league, but it wasn’t until the last few months that locations for new teams started to surface. And with the support of the three original franchises, the foundation has been set for teams like Oshawa to get off the ground. “The three founding teams are sharing all their secrets (to success) with the other teams,” said Drew Ebanks, the public relations’ manager for the new Oshawa franchise. “In Halifax, St. John and Quebec, it’s obviously a lit- tle different as there isn’t as much as in the GTA to do, you know what I mean, but they are sharing their informa- tion. In the past, teams like that wouldn’t want to share. They would just want their organization to be successful, but the league realizes that in order for it to be successful, everybody has to be on board and everybody has to do things the right way. At least it will give it a chance to get traction.” Ebanks said the Oshawa group has been in meetings with staff at the General Motors Centre, try- ing to nail out an arena deal. The NBL Canada schedule will con- sist of 36 games -- 18 home dates -- followed by playoffs, where the top four teams advance. While Ebanks said those meetings have gone well to this point, those at the GM Centre have spent plenty of time of late weighing the posi- tives and negatives of housing the basketball team as a second main tenant behind the Oshawa Generals. Officials at the facility have also had inquiries about housing a team for the recently founded CLax, an all-Canadian profes- sional lacrosse league. Ebanks is confident their orga- nization will be able to get a deal done. “We’ve had nothing but posi- tive relations with them, too, and it looks like we’re going to get it going,” he said. Another order of business will be coming up with a name for the franchise. Nothing has been decided to this point and Ebanks suggested that could come through some sort of naming contest that would allow for the community to get involved. Just how much of the com- munity gets involved is another question as Oshawa, and most of Durham Region, is gener- ally considered a hockey- first environment. Ebanks countered that, saying he believes the area is ripe with basketball fans and, considering the con- tinued growth of the sport, the chance for success is pretty solid. “A lot of positives are happening in the sport. We can look at a lot of things now, from the U19s and U17s, U16s, they are all doing well internationally. And we’ve just had two Canadians drafted in the NBA first round. Our group feels this is the time,” he said, noting ticket prices have yet to be set but will be family friendly. Another element that fac- tors into the type of interest the Oshawa group expects to gener- ate is the current NBA lockout. Owners closed the doors on the players July 1 and by all accounts both sides appear prepared to lose the entire season as they battle through their collective bargaining issues. Basketball fans, in turn, will need to get their fix somewhere. “It’s unfortunate, but with the NBA lockout, I really see that as a positive with gaining traction,” Ebanks said. “As a fan, where you going to go? Why not come out to Oshawa?” And if they do, they’ll see the first overall pick in the 2011 NBL Canada draft. It was recently announced that Oshawa would hold that selection. The draft will take place at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. A pre-draft combine for free agent players of any nationali- ty will take place one day before the draft at Seneca College, while one specific to Canadian players will be held on the afternoon of draft day. Each team roster will have a minimum of 10 players and a maximum of 12, with at least two Canadians on every team. “I think the Canadian aspect of it will be a huge draw,” said Ebanks. we’ve had nothing but positive relations with them, too, and it looks like we’re going to get it going.
