Staying out of the sun, trying to find air con- ditioning, drinking plenty of fluids, but not alcohol, should do the trick, Dr. Robert Kyle states. “Take a whole lot of common-sense types of approaches. If you have access to air condi- tioning, get out of the heat and get into an air conditioned area if possible. Drink plenty of fluids, avoid hot meals, alcohol, coffee, tea and colas,” adds Dr. Kyle, the Region’s medical offi- cer of health. Temperatures are expected to remain about 30 Celsius through the weekend and the humi- dex will make it feel even hotter. Dr. Kyle says the aim is preventing severe heat-related illness.

Yasmena Hamid, administrative manager of AccTax Services, pleaded guilty July 14 in an Oshawa court to 50 violations under the Tax Rebate Discounting Act. Court heard the business overcharged customers a total of $10,609 on individual 2007 T1 tax returns that had been discounted. The court imposed a $25,000 fine and ordered the company to pay restitution to affected customers. courts Durham tax service fined for infractions Proposed waterfront sculptures get mixed reviews from residents reka szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax’s plans for public art on the waterfront are on hold after negative feedback from residents has caused some councillors to think twice about the proj- ect. In April, Ajax councillors considered four pieces of public art, three sculptures for the Ajax waterfront and a painting for the new St. Francis Centre. Ultimately, they approved the painting for the centre but sought public feedback on the three sculptures for the water- front. At the July general government committee meeting, Ajax staff reported that it received mixed feedback at a May public meeting on the proposed art. Of the 19 people in attendance, some commended the Town for looking to purchase public art while oth- ers thought council should leave the waterfront as it is. The piece garnering the most negative attention was Picturesque Landscape which was a large pic- ture frame that would serve as a frame for the natural beauty of the waterfront. The piece was intended to be placed in Rotary Park. “Anybody that I speak to are not in favour of the frame, they say things like ‘you’re paying how much for that?’,” said Coun. Pat Brown at the July committee meeting. Coun. Shaun Collier said he’d received comments that the art was not a good use of tax dollars. The three proposed sculptures would cost a total of $109,000 including installation and would be paid for from the public art reserve fund. At the meeting, council considered approving the purchase of two pieces which had received more posi- tive reviews, the Storm and WoodHaven Panels, but deferred purchase of Picturesque Landscape. But Coun. Colleen Jordan questioned whether there was a connection between the community and any of the pieces. “Although I fully support public art, I have a problem with these particular choices,” she said, adding that community art should be educational or historical and should be more than a piece of art. But Coun. Joanne Dies said she said she saw meaning in all the pieces and said she supported the recommendation to approve the art. “That’s what art is all about, it’s the element of surprise in the park and the element of enjoyment,” said Coun. Dies. Mayor Steve Parish pointed out that when it comes to the waterfront, there’s a history of opposition to any changes including the construction of washrooms at the foot of Har- wood Avenue and pavilions at Rotary Park and on Ashbury Boulevard. He questioned Coun. Jordan’s statement that she supported public art. “At the end of the day what you’re saying is I’m in favour of public art only if everyone unanimously agrees on it,” said they mayor, adding that it would be impossible to get consensus among everyone. As the discussion wound down, Mayor Parish said he sensed a three-three split among the councillors. Coun. Mari- lyn Crawford was absent from the meeting, and he suggested deferring the issue and voting on it when all councillors were present. His motion passed and the issue will now likely come up again in the fall. town Ajax public art purchase on hold durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 21, 20114 AP HUGE DISCOUNTS FOR WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS!!

The organization has launched a new Rally Together to Save Lives campaign, which is aimed at growing the blood donor base to 500,000 active donors and recruiting 100,000 new donors each year by 2015. “Summer is a very challenging time for Canadian Blood Services as many of our regular donors take holidays and get off their regular donation schedule,” said Crystal Powell, community development co-ordinator for Canadian Blood Service’s Durham Region clinics. “This makes it difficult to meet our goals at our summer blood donor clinics. Many people don’t realize that it only takes about one to 1.5 hours to donate blood and in that time three lives have been saved,” she said. Upcoming clinics include Wednesday, July 27 from 1 to 7:30 p.m. at the Garnet B. Rickard Arena in Bowmanville; Thurs- day, Aug. 4 from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre, Saturday; Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax; Tuesday, Aug. 9 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Newcastle Town Hall; Wednesday, Aug. 10 from 1 to 7:30 p.m at the Scugog Community Centre in Port Perry; Tuesday, Aug. 23 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at St. Isaac Jogues Church in Pickering; Friday, Aug. 26 from 1 to 7:30 p.m. at the Uxbridge Seniors Centre; and Wednesday, Aug. 31 from 1 to 7:30 p.m. at the Garnet B.

Upon closer inspection, she saw one of them had two heads, two tails and six and-a-half legs -- four front and two hind, and the start of one in the middle of the two. “I had to take a second look,” said Ms. Kroon, the owner of Jackie’s Crit- ters and Things, a small reptile shop in Bowmanville. Ms. Kroon was aware of the rarity of the lizard (or lizards?) and said a cursory Google search only turned up a handful of reportings of the two-headed dragon in the United States over the past few years. The shop owner naturally referred to the small creature as “them” and pointed out the larger one mostly supported the other. She planned to give it two names -- it did have two heads, two tails and more legs than the average dragon, after all. But at the time of the interview, she didn’t want to get too attached until it survived its younger days, so chose not to name it just yet. “We’ll see how these guys do,” she said. And Ms. Kroon was sad to report Wednesday morning the tiny dragons didn’t make it. “We tried,” she said glumly. The weaker one had died already, and the second one was on its way out, she said. The day before, she said she was planning to keep the bearded dragon, a rather friendly pet, for herself. “I classify them like a dog,” she said. They love to cuddle and will fall asleep on you, and they like to be wrapped up in a blanket, just like a baby, she said. This phenomenon could have made her a pretty penny. AOL news reported in July 2010 that a two-headed bearded dragon born near Dayton, Ohio was sold for just under $5,000. But Ms. Kroon wasn’t going to bite. “They’re not for sale,” she had said in the first interview. saBrina Byrnes / Metroland CLARINGTON -- An 11-day- old two-headed bearded dragon at Jackie’s Critters and Things. i had to take a second look.

The same goes if you’re reading it on our website. But if you’re reading this through my Facebook page and you regularly check out my page without leaving a comment, then you might be a bit of a lurker. Don’t worry, we all do it, checking out news, information and discussions on inter- active platforms without saying a word. And while we may talk about the interac- tive nature of social media, the truth is for many people it’s quite a passive experience. They absorb the information, but the only impression they leave behind is an increase in the number of page views. Of course page views tell a story. For example, we’ve noticed that durhamre- gion.com readers love reading stories about pets. We may not get as many letters about those stories as we do about an election, but a story about a heroic local dog can easily eclipse most stories about a politician when it comes to page views. Still, simple numbers don’t tell the whole story. As a tweeter I could likely increase my followers by tagging posts with trending topics and following scads of people just for the sake of being followed back. But there’s no value to me in those kinds of numbers. I’m a local reporter at a community news- paper and my main goal on Twitter is to interact with people in my local communi- ty. They’re the ones most likely to be inter- ested in my work and I’m certainly interest- ed in their take on Durham issues. Recently, I wrote a post for our food and wine blog about an Ajax cupcake store I’d visited. I shared a photo of the cupcakes I bought and wrote about what they tasted like and shared a link to a cupcake-related article I’d come across on a friend’s Face- book page.I got one comment from a read- er about it on the blog itself and a couple of comments on Twitter. But what amazed me is the number of people who came up to me or e-mailed me about the topic. I had no idea that people were so fascinated by cupcakes but so strangely reluctant to talk about them in public online. Several people mentioned they were going to try the cupcake store, while others recommended other places that served up delicious baked goods. Though not earth shattering, the blog post did make a real local impact as the word of mouth generated by it will likely get a few more people trying out local cupcake stores. One blog I read regularly asked recently whether it makes a difference if an item is tweeted by someone with 100,000 followers or by 1,000 people with 100 followers. Likely not, though it’s easier to notice the impact of the former. Still, as social media matures as a form of communication, the analytics are matur- ing as well. Sites like klout.com can mea- sure the impact of individual tweeters by looking beyond the number of followers, but also factoring in how often their tweets draw responses and re-tweets giving people a better understanding of how well they’re engaging their audience. And although the measures of success online are imperfect, we certainly know more about our lurkers’ tastes than we ever did about our readers before we went online. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Citizens in communities across the region welcome these times as thoughts turn to summer pursuits: lazy days at the beach, star gazing at night, campfire- roasted marshmallows, waterfront strolls, leisurely bike rides. But even the best days of summer can bring unpleasant consequences as tem- peratures and humidity soar. Forecasters called for high humidex readings today, pushing the heat up as high as 45 degrees Celsius. In such circumstances, danger lurks for residents who don’t take prop- er precautions to cope with the extremes, particularly seniors, infants and those with chronic health conditions. As Durham medical officials point out, common sense must guide us as we collec- tively cope with this heat wave. Residents are urged to ensure they take plenty of flu- ids, seek shade or air-conditioned shelter, and avoid strenuous activity in work and play. It’s important, too, that we check on friends, neighbours or relatives who might be vulnerable. Make sure those you know are being cared for and taking the proper precautions. And for those who own pets, steps should also be taken to provide com- fort. In the meantime, credit is due to Dur- ham’s municipal governments for provid- ing cooling centres for residents at vari- ous public facilities such as recreations centres, municipal offices and libraries. Indoor and outdoor pools and splash pads are also an excellent option for children, but make sure you bring along necessary fluids for hydration, slather on sunscreen and seek shade wherever possible. This heat wave won’t last forever, but fol- lowing Durham medical officer of health Dr. Robert Kyle’s advice to use common sense will go a long way to making it bear- able while it is. Pack plenty of fluids wherever the day may take you. Give a call or pay a visit to someone you know who may be vulnera- ble in the heat to make sure they’re coping all right. Mind youngsters and pets to help ease any discomfort they may have. Final- ly, take advantage of the cooling centres offered in your community to catch your breath and cool your heels. There truly is something special about a Durham Region summer. Using a bit of common sense in the midst of this heat wave will help ensure everyone experi- ences another. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 21, 20117 AP PICKERINGTOWN CENTRE 905-420-8000 Diana Zlomislic newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- The jail death of a mentally ill Pickering teen -- described as “lost in plain sight” -- was preventable, lawyers told a cor- oner’s inquest. Had any one of a series of doctors, lawyers, government workers, court or jail staff done their jobs, Gleb Alfyorov would be alive, the five- person jury was told. The inquest also heard from the boy’s mother who was the last wit- ness after 21 days of testimony. Marina Alfyorova said she “sim- ply wasn’t invited” to participate at the proceedings and did not know the inquest had even started until informed by a Toronto Star report- er. She said she received a brief let- ter from the coroner’s office almost a year ago that talked about a pre- inquest meeting but was never alerted to the fact proceedings start- ed last month. She said she wanted to set the record straight about the assault charges that landed her son Gleb in custody for the last time. She want- ed the jury to know her son did not break his older sister’s nose during a fight. She said her daughter’s face was bruised and did not require a doctor’s attention. “He was not a violent criminal,” Ms. Alfyorova said. “He was just a trou- bled kid who lost reality.” Gleb hanged himself on May 13, 2008, with his shoelaces in cell 12 at Syl Apps Youth Centre in Oakville while awaiting a court-ordered psy- chiatric evaluation. He had turned 17 just five days earlier. A court in Oshawa had intended for the boy to be sent to a hospital and cared for by doctors and nurses during a 30-day psychiatric evaluation but through a series of stunning miscommuni- cations, he was transferred to a jail instead, where he rarely left his cell and had almost no interaction with staff. The inquest heard that Gleb would make strange noises in his cell, sometimes screaming “Res- cue me!” in the middle of the night. After his death, staff discovered dis- jointed messages he had scribbled in pencil all over his walls, messag- es that talked about hate and suffer- ing. One said, “hoping for a pres- ent.” Ms. Alfyorova’s testimony began after more than three hours of pri- vate discussions with coroner’s counsel and other lawyers about what the Pickering woman planned to say and could not say. She was finally permitted to testify so long as she didn’t tell the jury that she only learned about the inquest through the Star. Jurors are not permitted to follow media coverage of the inquest and lawyers believed such a reference would taint the panel. When Ms. Alfyorova finished, the 11 lawyers representing parties with standing at the inquest -- includ- ing various government agencies, the provincial advocate for children and youth, doctors assigned to care for Gleb, legal aid, a mental health advocacy group and the Criminal Lawyers Association -- began their final submissions. Suzan Fraser, representing Ontar- io’s youth advocate, described Gleb as a boy “lost in a system, lost in a facility, lost to us, his friends and his family ... lost in plain sight.” There were screw-ups in the court process, the inquest heard. Gleb pleaded guilty to assaulting his sister at the first opportunity. He had no lawyer and insisted at first that he didn’t need one. He just wanted to be sentenced and serve his time. “Gleb became lost in the maze of the court and mental health pro- cesses,” Ms. Fraser said. At the Crown’s urging, the court recommended Gleb receive an in- depth assessment to determine criminal responsibility. The Youth Criminal Justice Act has better options for dealing with mentally ill youth, said law- yer Anita Szigeti, representing the Criminal Lawyers Association and the Empowerment Council. “Had Gleb had his own lawyer, I think he would be alive today,” she said.

They need to get immediate medical attention. Get them out of the sun and they need immediate medical attention.” Those with the highest risk in a heat wave are infants, the elderly, those with a chronic condition, taking certain med- ications, such as for high blood pressure, and those with mental cognition issues. Also, wear light-coloured clothing, keep lighting low and use a fan if you don’t have air conditioning, he adds. Avoiding outside activities if possible, the doctor says. “If you’re a caregiver and you know of an elderly person, check to see if they’re OK,” he says. “Make sure to keep in touch with vulnerable dependents. “Don’t leave young children or pets in a closed vehicle,” he says. “The tem- peratures can go sky high and pets and infants can’t get out.” Moderate heat cramps will affect the legs and abdomen, he says, while heat exhaustion includes heavy sweating and fainting. Heat stroke includes confusion, nau- sea, fainting and the skin is hot and dry. The aim is to keep the body’s core tem- perature cool, Dr. Kyle notes. “Sun burn can be exacerbated on a hot, humid day. Infants wearing diapers can get a heat rash,” Dr. Kyle says, add- ing those are somewhat minor medical issues.

Don’t have hot meals and you’ll get through it.

E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 I’m moving from one house to another in Durham Region; should I take my blue box and green bin with me? Ye s,residents are asked to take their blue box, kitchen container and curbside green bin with them when they move within Durham Region. If you are a new resident from outside the Region, or have moved from an apartment to a house, you are entitled to a free new resident kit which includes two blue boxes, one green bin, one kitchen collector, a sample of acceptable green bin compost bags and an information kit. Please contact the Region of Durham Recycling Centre at 905-579-5264 or 1-800-667-5671 to arrange for delivery. Residents are reminded that broken blue boxes and green bins can be taken to the Recycling Centre located at 4600 Garrard Rd. in Whitby and exchange them for new ones. Thanks for recycling and enjoy your new home. I recently saw someone taking yard waste in a wheelbarrow and dumping it in the wooded area next to a storm water retention pond. Isn’t this illegal? Ye s, depositing waste of any kind on property other than your own is illegal. The Region of Durham has convenient curbside collection programs for most waste materials andprovidesdisposaland recycling opportunities for additional material at its waste management facilities. When residents dump waste illegally in public spaces or along roadsides, taxpayers pay for municipal staff to clean up this material. Anyone caught illegally dumping any waste is subject to fines as established under local municipal anti-dumping bylaws. Why is it important to participate in the Region’s yard waste collection program? The Region of Durham has set a goal to divert 70 percent of its residential waste from landfill through recycling, composting and re-use initiatives. Each of us can do our part by participating in waste diversion programs. For example, the more yard waste you compost at home through backyard composting or put out for curbside collection, the closer we’ll be to achieving this target. Every little bit counts. Each spring, some of the compost produced from your yard waste and green bin organics is offered back to you at free compost giveaway events throughout Durham. Please check our website for dates of these compost giveaway events. 1-800-667-5671 www.durhamregionwaste.ca Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative to medication.

Myth: The sun is the best way to get vitamin D Fact: While sun exposure will indeed boost your body's vitamin D levels, it also increases skin damage and your chance of developing skin cancer. Vitamin supplements provide the same benefits, without the risks. Myth: One sunburn can't hurt Fact: One blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person's chances of developing melanoma later in life. A person's risk for melanoma also doubles if he or she has had five or more sunburns at any age. Myth: Only older people get skin cancer Fact: Young people are just as susceptible to skin cancer as older people. In fact, melanoma is the second most common cancer among those aged 15 to 34. Myth: Skin cancer appears only in sun exposed areas Fact: Melanoma can occur in areas not normally exposed to the sun, including the abdomen, groin and the soles of your feet. Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Sun myths—know the facts Myth: Doctors always find melanomas Fact: You should not rely on your doctor as your only means of detection.

Gazing out at the world through windows and screens, walking through air-conditioned shopping malls and offices, we don’t always feel one with the great web of life on Earth. Until we head outdoors in summer to the lakes and riv- ers all Canadians love, strip off our clothes for a swim and find there, waiting for us, a sharp reminder that, yes, humans are mammals. Tasty mammals. And for a few creatures we share the planet with, a favourite item on the menu. Deer flies reach their peak in mid-July. I can attest to that fact, having participated in several day- long butterfly and dragonfly counts in recent weeks. I bear the proof on my wrists and neck where deer flies’ stabbing little mouthparts pierced my skin, going for blood. Almost worse than their bites was having a ravenous swarm always buzzing about my head. Apart from long pants and sleeves, there’s no defense against deer flies. Bug dope doesn’t deter them. The best prevention I know, a bit of homespun wisdom from a friend -- wear a three-lobed spray of bracken fern upside down on your head -- may look silly, but pro- vides a bit of shade. If you can’t beat ‘em, at least understand where they’re com- ing from -- that’s the best maxim for dealing with these hungry little pests. First of all, we have to realize that every deer fly trying to bite us is female -- a would-be mom who, like a mosquito, needs a blood meal to develop her eggs. Male deer flies are out there sipping nectar from flowers or plants, while their mates are cutting to the chase, literally, with any and every moose, deer, cow, horse or human who wanders by. A deer fly that’s successful often lays her eggs on vegetation over- hanging water. When they hatch a week or so later, the larvae drop into the pond, lake or marsh, or burrow into the soil, then spend a year or two, depending on spe- cies, eating and growing. After a final pupal stage, they hatch out as adults in early June, ready to take on the world at water’s edge. Look closely at a deer fly and you’ll find she’s almost pretty, with her green-gold eyes, yellow-green body markings and black-pat- terned triangular wings. But look fast, before she bites! Deer fly season doesn’t last all summer, thank heavens. Helping put a swift end to it are other fierce and focused members of the food chain: dragonflies. Super-skilled hunters, they snatch deer flies from the air, land on a nearby rock, leaf, deck railing or canoe gunnel, and promptly devour them. There’s a certain grim satisfaction to be had, watching one chomp down a deer fly, one bite at a time.

Pets should never be left alone in a vehicle, even in the shade. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says pets left in cars, other unventilated areas, or tied up in the sun are susceptible to heat stroke. Dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threaten- ing. Temperatures in a parked car can rapidly reach dangerous lev- els, even on mild days and even if the windows are slightly open. A dog’s normal body temperature is 39 degrees Celsius, and a temper- ature of 41 can only be withstood for a short time before irreparable brain damage or death can occur. Pets left outdoors on hot summer days can also be in serious danger, says the OSPCA. Dogs should only be left outside for short periods, with sufficient water and a cool, sheltered place out of direct sun. It’s best to walk dogs in the early morning and evening. Certain types of dogs, like box- ers, pugs and short-muzzled dogs, can have a more difficult time in the heat. So can older dogs, over- weight dogs, puppies under six months, dogs with medical condi- tions and dogs on medications. Even cautious pet owners should know how to deal with heatstroke, says the OSPCA. Signs of heatstroke include increased heart rate, excessive panting or drooling, listlessness, confusion or disorientation, bright red gums, vomiting or diarrhea, collapse, seizure or coma, or a body temperature higher than 40 degrees Celsius. What to do? Move your dog out of the heat right away. Use a hose or wet towels to start cooling it down, but do not use ice, and offer your dog water. Take your dog to the vet immediately, still cooling it with wet towels during the drive. If you can’t get to a vet right away, mon- itor your pup’s temperature and check for signs of shock. Make sure to stop the cooling process when your dog’s temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius -- the dog’s tem- perature can drop too low and it could go into shock. Even if your dog cools down, take it to a vet; some medical prob- lems caused by heatstroke may not show up right away. The OSPCA says other hazards include putting dogs in the back of a pick-up truck; garden haz- ards such as insecticides, herbi- cides and garden fertilizers; and fireworks. Many pets are terrified by them and run and get lost when they go off. Keep pets at home dur- ing firework displays and turn on the radio or television to help mask the sound. In emergencies, know your vet’s procedures, especially after hours. Keep phone numbers for your vet, the American Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animal’s Ani- mal poison control centre, and a local emergency vet service, the OSPCA suggests. Visit ontariospca.ca/4-carefact- sheets-safety-5.shtml for informa- tion on how to avoid and deal with summer pet hazards.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the prob- lem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be inno- vative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replac- ing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely neces- sary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

Pickering swimmer joins university of western Ontario program CLAREMONT -- The Pickering Swim Club has managed to graduate one of its swim- mers into another respected program. The latest athlete to take advantage of the program offered by the club is Robert Mas- ters, who has opted to enroll in the business program at the University of Western Ontar- io. His specialty in the water is the breast- stroke, which will add another element to the Mustangs’ swim team. The 18 year old has come a long way since jumping into a pool at the age of nine for swimming lessons. “My mom and dad put me in swimming lessons and my swim instructor told my par- ents that she thought I should do competi- tive swimming,” recalls Masters, a Clare- mont resident who graduated from Uxbridge Secondary School. He joined the Pickering Swim Club, pro- gressing through the ranks over the years. Last year he swam at Age Group Nationals, advancing to the finals in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke. Recently he was in Montreal to compete at the Quebec Cup, with his best finish a 21st in the 50m breaststroke, while also swimming the 100m and 200m events in the same disci- pline. With some of the top swimmers in the world competing, including Michael Phelps, the atmosphere surrounding the meet was a little different than some of the local ones he has competed in. “I was the smallest guy there,” he says of his five-foot-11 and 140-pound frame. “Just looking at all these huge guys, it felt good to be a part of it.” In comparison, Phelps, regarded as the best swimmer in the world, is listed at six- foot-four and 195 pounds. While the swimming program is enticing to join, Masters says his choice of Western over McMaster and Laurier had more to do with the academic side, eyeing entry into the Ivey School of Business at the university. Masters will be joining Pickering Swim Club alumni Ainsley Corkum and Adam Gomba at Western. aTHleTics Pickering athletes a success on the track local runners put forth a solid effort at royal canadian l egion championships CHATHAM -- Athletes from Pickering High School competed at the Royal Cana- dian Legion Ontario Championship 2011 last weekend and came home with some impressive results.

Alex Janes placed fourth in the under 17 girls’ 100m and fifth in the 200m.

By providing new and safe equipment, the Chev- rolet Canada Hockey Hel- met Program will help young players learn that safe hockey is fun hockey. “We’re focused on serv- ing our customers and communities better than ever, and with more than 400 dealers in commu- nities across Canada, we have the opportunity to make a real impact through this bold new initiative, ” said Rob Assimakopoulos, general director of market- ing at Chevrolet. “Hockey is Canada’s game, and as a longstanding support- er, Chevrolet is encourag- ing young players to learn the importance of on-ice safety and sportsmanship, making positive change by ensuring they play safe and fun from their first days on skates.” “For over a decade, Chev- rolet Safe and Fun Hock- ey has been involved in creating a safe and enjoy- able environment for kids across Canada,” said Bobby Orr. “The new program to pro- vide free helmets to young players is a great initiative that will help us build safe- ty into the culture of sports and help kids understand that hockey can be lots of fun, while still being safe.” All players born in 2006 who register to play hock- ey with Hockey Canada in the 2011/2012 season will be eligible to receive a free Bauer Hockey helmet from Chevrolet. In the 2010/2011 season, over 23,000 five- year-olds were registered with Hockey Canada. To pre-register for a Chev- rolet Safe and Fun Hockey package, including a free helmet, parents can visit www.chevrolethockey.ca. Full registration starts Aug. 19, when parents will be able to pick up their Chev- rolet Safe and Fun Hockey package containing a cer- tificate for the new Bauer 2100 hockey helmet from their closest Chevrolet dealer. The certificate can be exchanged for the hel- met at the designated For- zani retail outlet in their local area, including Sport Chek, Hockey Experts, Sport Mart, InterSport, and Sports Experts. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 21, 201116 AP Home Support Supervisor 1 Part Time (Oshawa/Pickering) ProHome Health Services is a leading provider of community nursing & personal home support.

Log on to: www.durhamregion.com durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 21, 201119 AP Hockey Biggs news bad news for Gens Tara WalTon / TorsTar neWs services TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Tyler Biggs won’t be playing for the Oshawa Generals this season. Toronto Maple leafs prospect sticks to his Miami University commitment Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It would be hard to convince the Oshawa Generals right now that no news is good news. In essence, there was nothing new about the fact Tyler Biggs called Chris DePiero last week to tell him he would be playing hockey at Miami University in Ohio this coming season. He had decided that long ago, and was merely letting the organization know he was planning to follow through on that commitment. But ever since DePiero made Biggs a second round pick in the 2009 Ontario Hockey League draft, there has been speculation he might change his mind, espe- cially since his father, Don, had played for the Generals in the 1980s. When the Toronto Maple Leafs made Biggs their first round pick of the recent NHL draft, talk resumed that he might head Oshawa’s way to fast track his NHL dream. For now, though, it’s not the route he has chosen. “In the end, he felt very com- pelled to honour that commit- ment to Miami,” says DePiero, Oshawa’s head coach and gener- al manager. “It is close to home and it’s a program I know he’s grown up watching. Very clearly it’s a nationally ranked program every year. I think he’s grown up in that environment where he’s seen them compete at that high- est levels for the longest time.” Thanks to his father’s profes- sional career, Biggs spent much of his time in the Cincinnati area, which is about 15 minutes from the school and its respected Red- Hawks program. Biggs, a six-foot-two, 200- pound forward, had 17 goals and 28 points in 48 games with the U.S. under-18 national team development program this past season. “The process really from my end has been two years of just staying in contact,” explains DePiero. “He was very respectful of the way we handled things for him in terms of giving him some space but also staying in contact with him, and doing it the right way.” DePiero is quick to add he hasn’t given up on the prospect of Biggs changing his mind at some point. “We respect Tyler’s decision at this point, but make no mistake about it, the door’s not closed,” says DePiero. “Any way it works out, Tyler’s going to be a very good player in the National Hockey League in my estimation. We’re always going to have open arms for Tyler if he feels the need to make a change.” DePiero admits he had put depth charts together both with and without Biggs, and liked the thought of slotting a power for- ward of his ilk into a group of for- wards that will probably also fea- ture the likes of Christian Thom- as, Nicklas Jensen, Boone Jenner and Lucas Lessio. “You think about it, but you don’t put the cart before the horse,” he says. “Certainly we feel we would have been able to provide an environment for Tyler’s develop- ment and given him an oppor- tunity to grow and develop and be that pro hockey player. Con- versely we feel he would have helped us become the champi- onship calibre team we feel we can be with the group of people we have already in place.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 21, 201119 AP Lost & FoundL LOST CAT"Henry" Henry is our little guy, and we miss him a lot.
