That juxtaposition of new and old is just part of the environment at Pickering Muse- um Village, where campers and visiting chil- dren mingle with volunteers and guides in period costume and learn to do things the old-fashioned way, like washing rags using a washboard or playing period games such as snap apple. “They’re related to the games kids play today, but they’ve evolved so much from the version we show them,” said Erica Hazlett, museum tour guide, of popular children’s games such as snap apple, similar to bobbing for apples but with the apple tied to a tree. Children also play games including man- hunt, capture the flag and tug of war.

The first phase of the 250-metre pedes- trian bridge, which will span Hwy. 401 from Pickering Parkway on the north to the Pickering GO station on the south, was installed the weekend of July 23 and travers- es the GO station property. The remaining spans will be installed overnight on week- ends through August, necessitating lane clo- sures to allow crews to lift the sections above the 401. Ultimately, the bridge will link the current- ly-under-construction GO parking tower and an adjacent office tower with the GO station. The multi-million-dollar project is funded through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, with the provincial and federal governments contributing $5 million each, while GO Tran- sit picks up the remaining $12.5 million tab. “This bridge has been coined ‘the bridge to the future’ and it truly is,” said Mayor Dave Ryan, noting it has been in the works since 1995, when it was originally conceived by Pickering council. “Here we are celebrating our bicentennial and we have this bridge that’s helping reju- venate the downtown, attracting businesses and connecting us to a major transportation system.” Mayor Ryan said he has been fielding a lot of calls from businesses across the GTA inter- ested in relocating to Pickering due to the community’s heightening profile. The City is already reaping the benefits of increased transit connectivity with the announcement of the Pickering Learning Centre, a post-sec- ondary education centre run by Centennial and Durham colleges, which will be located in the new office tower on the north end of the bridge. While he said discussions with other inter- ested businesses are still in early stages, Mayor Ryan did divulge that the City is cur- rently in “active discussions” with a major hotel chain. “The bridge is playing a major role,” Mayor Ryan said of developing interest in downtown Pickering. “With the education centre, the point is we’re drawing from both Toronto and Dur- ham. From the beginning we’ve thought of the bridge as an opportunity to create a reverse commute, with people coming into Pickering, rather than driving out to Toronto.” But the bridge is just one element in a larg- er downtown rejuvenation plan. Mayor Ryan said he would like to see further expansion of the downtown, and the possibility of building a second, and even a third, office tower is cur- rently under discussion. “We would like to see an expansion of downtown Pickering,” he said. “We know that an arts centre is certainly a viable project and having the transportation infrastructure is certainly a large part of that. When you look at Pickering becoming a des- tination, the point is to have that connectiv- ity.” With the bridge spans scheduled to be installed by the end of August, work will then commence on interior of the bridge and the exterior, which will be outfitted in a perfo- rated metal shroud that will be lit up at night. The bridge is expected to be completed and ready for use by the end of October. “It’s very exciting,” Mayor Ryan said of the progress on the bridge. “I have to admit it’s much more than I envi- sioned. The addition of the shroud makes it very much a unique piece of architecture. It’s a dramatic statement for the entrance to Dur- ham.” That positioning of Pickering as a gateway to Durham is another element in Pickering’s transformation. “We’re very excited by every- thing that’s happening in Pickering and the opportunities that are coming to fruition in our downtown,” Mayor Ryan said. “There’s no way anyone driving the 401 is going to see that bridge and not know exactly where they are, in downtown Pickering.” infrastructure Work continues on Pickering pedestrian bridge saBrina Byrnes / MetrolanD PICKERING -- The first span of the Pickering pedestrian bridge was installed this past weekend. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 20113 AP Open C ivic Holiday Monday, August 1st 10am to 6pm Spend your holiday in style.

Tools and landscaping equipment valued at more than $7,000 have been recovered and returned to owners. It’s expected more will be recovered as the investigation contin- ues, Durham police said in announcing the arrests Wednes- day. An investigation was launched this spring after sev- eral reports of thefts from Beaverton-area homes. Thieves were taking equipment from properties and also breaking into sheds, swiping tools such as chain- saws, trimmers and lawnmowers, police said. Also stolen were sev- eral dirt bikes, ATVs and a gen- erator. It’s believed many of the items were sold in southern Durham , police said. Anyone who may have unwittingly bought a stolen item is asked to call police so property can be returned to rightful owners. During the investigation, Durham police, assisted by Kawartha Lakes OPP, conducted four search warrants, two in Beaverton and two in Ajax. Charged with theft, possession and trafficking of stolen property are Terry Mackay, 25, Osborne Street, Beaverton; Natasha Porte, 25, Osborne Street, Beaverton; Jeffrey Mitch- ell, Maple Beach Road, Beaverton; David Colautti, 20, Shier Avenue, Beaverton; Chris Clodd, 19, Park Street, Beaverton, and Kenneth Emsley, 23, of no fixed address. Ryan Packer, 24, of Mara Road, Beaverton, is charged with two counts of trafficking property obtained by crime under $5,000. David Mullett, 22, Elmwood Avenue, Beaverton, is charged with two counts of possessing counterfeit money and one count of uttering counterfeit money. Natasha Konstantakis, 23, Lakeridge Road, Pefferlaw, is charged with drug possession, possession of fraudulent identity and possession of a coun- terfeit mark. Mohammed Ali, 44, of Weston Crescent, Ajax, is charged with possession of property obtained by crime and trafficking property obtained by crime. The investigation continues.

An Ajax man is accused of trying to flee the scene and struggling with officers and several charges. Police are still looking for the driver, who has been identified as a Toronto resident. The incident began at about 11:30 p.m. when Durham officers stopped a suspected suspended driver at Pickering Parkway and Brock Road. A passenger leapt from the car, dropping an item to the ground, then scooped it up and ran off. Officers arrested him after a struggle, recovering a .22 calibre handgun loaded with six rounds. As officers apprehended the armed suspect, the driver of the car sped off with another suspect, abandoning the vehicle a short distance away. Police searched the area but couldn’t locate them. The driver has been identified as a 21-year-old Toronto man. The seized gun was stolen from an Oshawa residence in December 2010, police said. James Alexander Park, 22, of Tansley Crescent in Ajax, faces six firearms offences as well as assaulting police and assault to resist arrest. He was held for a bail hearing.

Donate non-perishable food items & support local food banks. Thousands in funding will help raise awareness of markets such as the one in Ajax RekA Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Good things grow on Durham farms and the Prov- ince is now helping local farmers spread the word with thou- sands in funding for marketing initiatives. As it stands, the Durham Farm Fresh Marketing Association helps local farmers get their products to market at farmers’ markets, restaurants and other businesses and helps Durham residents find locally grown food. The non-profit organization was established in 1993 and is run by volunteers. In support of Farm Fresh, Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dick- son made two announcements last week at the Ajax Farm- ers’ Market located at Vandermeer Nurseries at the corner of Lakeridge Road and Bayly Street, which sells locally produced food every Thursday afternoon. The first announcement was a $47,000 grant from the Ontario Market Investment Fund so that Farm Fresh can work with Durham College and the Region of Durham to research emerging market opportunities and create new promotional campaigns aimed at getting families to buy local food. The second grant was $109,000 over three years to Farm Fresh in order to create a part-time marketing co-ordinator position and to purchase radio, TV, print and online advertis- ing to raise awareness of local farmers’ markets. That money is coming through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. “The whole organization in Durham is non-profit, there are no employees and they just want to help producers, which are the farmers,” said Mr. Dickson. Durham Farm Fresh president Tom Coleman thanked Mr. Dickson and said funds will go a long way towards keeping the association sustainable. Len Stroud, Durham Farm Fresh treasurer and owner of Stroud’s Farms, said the money means there will be more awareness of local food and said local food has been growing in popularity in recent years. “It’s the way to go and it has been for a long time, we’ve been doing it ourselves for many years,” said Mr. Stroud.

Inaugural Ajax Mayor’s Cricket Festival aims to promote the sport RekA Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- For local residents who don’t know a wicket from a pitch, an Ajax cricket festival is just the place to learn about a sport that’s played in more than 100 countries. The Corporate Canada Cricket Club is hosting the inaugural Ajax Mayor’s Cricket Festival on July 30 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Ajax Cricket Club, 615 Mon- arch Ave. This will be the third such festival in the GTA. “We started it in Mississauga and Brampton in 2010 and we have a few players who live in the Durham Region in general and in the Ajax community in particular and they asked do you want do an event in Ajax,” said Fasih Masood, founder and chairman of the Corporate Canada Cricket Club. The festival includes exhibition match- es involving the U13 and U15 members of the Durham Cricket Academy as well as matches between corporate teams including Loblaws, BMO and CIBC. There will be face painting and inflat- able rides for kids and event partners from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and from the Cancer Society will be on hand to share information with the com- munity. Mr. Masood said it’s a great opportuni- ty for people who are unfamiliar with the game of cricket to check it out and per- haps get some tips from coaches. “Certainly the goal of it is creating awareness of the sport of cricket, it’s the second fastest growing sport in the Greater Toronto Area after soccer,” he said. But Mr. Masood explains cricket isn’t new to Canada. First prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald declared it Canada’s national sport. These days, newcomers from South Asia and the West Indies are bringing their love of cricket to Canada and increasing its popularity. As it stands, there are constraints in Canada; chief among them is the weath- er, said Mr. Masood. Generally players here only play for about 16 weeks. But there’s also a lack of cricket facilities in many communities. “In the whole Durham Region, there’s only one cricket field, in Ajax,” said Mr. Masood. But he’s hoping events like the inau- gural Ajax Mayor’s Cricket Festival will change that. Mr. Masood said there’s lots to love about the internationally popu- lar sport. “Like any team sport, it’s team building and there’s leadership qual- ity and obviously there’s an element of strategizing and tactical play,” he said. It’s also a great activity for people look- ing to stay healthy and fit. The festival is free and open to the pub- lic.

After being hit on the driver’s side by a dump truck, I was obviously panicked and in a lot of pain. My reason for writing is to thank the many strangers who came to my aid and comforted me until the paramed- ics arrived. Three people stand out but in the panic I do not remember two of their names or feel like I thanked them enough. One was a kind gentleman who held my hand and spoke to me, another was an off- duty police officer who identified himself and started to asses the extent of my inju- ries while encouraging me to breathe slow- ly and keep still. The third I remember as Leslie contacted my husband but when he got to the scene he was unable to find her. I am hoping you will print this and these people will know who they are and will accept my deepest gratitude. I also wanted to thank all the professionals involved who were amazing. Judith Smith Pickering Fans unimpressed by way concert tickets sold To the editor: Both in our 70s, my wife and I decided we’d love to attend the Elton John con- cert for our 54th wedding anniversa- ry. With the help of our grandkids, who warned us of potential problems, we got set with VISA approval etc. on the web- site in advance. On Friday morning as we were about to enter our purchase, we were bumped onto another screen which asked us to wait on a 60-second count- down. After many attempts via phone and computer we struck out. At 10:30 a.m. we could buy tickets on an optional site for $230 to $495. As of 12:45 p.m. there were still 58 tickets left ranging from $446 to $1,455. All in all not a very nice experience and probably the last time we’ll try. Ronald and Sylvia Boissoin Oshawa Water a precious resource To the editor: The Region of Durham has a policy from May to September to preserve our water sup- ply, particularly during this hot spell. We’re to water our plants based on an even- odd street address and the date of the month, with even numbered addresses only water- ing on even days, and the same with odd. My wife and I support organizations which dig wells in Africa. I read a letter which described the amazement by people there that we use drinking water to water lawns and flush toilets. In addition to clean water out of our taps, we have nearby grocery stores which would shock someone overseas. Canada has many blessings which we should not take for grant- ed in a world torn by poverty and strife. We are very fortunate indeed. Chris Topple Oshawa Transit drivers are in customer service too To the editor: Re: ‘Bus drivers should be friendlier’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, July 4, 2011. I applaud the letter to the editor because the letter writer is so right. Most transit drivers don’t seem to realize they are dealing with the public every day. I was a waiter and bartender when I worked and that is a customer service job. You have to be nice to a lot of people you would not ordinarily give the time of day to. I did serve a lot of the drivers of Durham Region and I had to be nice to them, so why can’t drivers be nice to their charges? As for the complaints? The letter writer is so right. I have written several letters and none of the complaints are addressed. A person could even go up to the supervisor’s truck and speak to the supervisor and nothing is done with the complaint. Ron Horner Oshawa Safety begins between the ears. It might be a good idea remembering that this long weekend. Durham Region, like all of southern Ontario, has been sweltering for much of July. This week- end is expected to be no different, with temperatures predicted to be in the 30s, while the Humidex will make it feel much hotter. Those high temperatures mean people will be looking for ways to cool off. What they shouldn’t be doing is acting foolish- ly, recklessly or stupidly. Every year, people will head out in their boats for a day of fun or fishing. And, as happens too often, there will be a fam- ily standing on the shore waiting for a police rescue unit to return with news on a missing loved one. Of course, it doesn’t have to end this way and the solution is so simple. It’s called a life jacket and everyone on the water should be wearing one. Just last week, two teenage girls ven- tured out onto Musselman Lake near Stouffville in a dingy. One could swim and one couldn’t. Neither was wearing a life jacket nor were there any in the boat. Witnesses said the girls went into the water, but didn’t come back up. Police found their bodies the next day. So far this summer, more than 40 peo- ple have drowned in Ontario, according to Barbara Byers, the public education director at the Lifesaving Society. And most of those drownings were prevent- able, she added. Of the 23 boating-related deaths last summer, 22 involved a victim not wear- ing a life jacket. The law says there should be one life jacket for each person on all boats. If it has to be there, you might as well use it. And wearing a life jacket isn’t the only sensible and very simple measure you should take. If you’re boating, leave the alcohol on shore. Nothing lowers IQ lev- els like getting behind the wheel after drinking. It doesn’t matter if the wheel is connected to tires or a rudder. Just don’t do it. ••• Here’s a dart to Oshawa’s Shawn Thorn- ton. For the second time in five years, Thornton has played on the Stanley Cup winning team. For the second time in five years, Thornton didn’t share the Stanley Cup with the public. He had the Cup on Tuesday, but the public wasn’t invited to celebrate. The Stanley Cup is a national treasure, the holy grail of sports trophies for Cana- dians. It’s too bad folks here couldn’t have shared in the experience.

Congratulations Drew for being our Carrier of the Week. “When we play heritage games we tell them these are the games that settler kids used to play, which is the same with the crafts we do. When we make rag dolls the kids learn that was one of the first toys ever made.” On Thursdays throughout July and August the museum hosts Kids’ Days, which feature heritage games, crafts and a tour of the facility. “We try to always keep them learning, but they’re still kids so we focus on the fun aspect,” Ms. Hazlett said. “I think the tour is really a learning expe- rience for them because they can look in the houses and see what the kids played with, what kind of furniture they had, stuff like that. And they can ask any questions they want so they usually end up learning a lot.” On July 28, Ms. Hazlett and her fellow guides led children through a craft activi- ty that had them creating covered wagons from cardboard tissue boxes, explaining that wagons were used as transportation by settlers. “It’s kind of like a trailer,” said Annabelle Kortner, 6, holding up her pink and red wagon. Annabelle said she thought the muse- um and its collection of old buildings was “neat,” but that crafts were one of her favourite things to do. “I like to do arts and crafts, it’s so fun because you can think about something, and then you can make it.” Her mother Simona Kortner said she heard about the event on the radio and thought it was something Annabelle would enjoy. “I know she likes the dressing up and we came here a few years ago and she really liked it. I think it’s good for her to see what it was like back then. It’s nice to do some- thing like this with her, and she loves crafts so this is perfect.” Children in the city’s Time Traveller camp can also enjoy heritage activities at the museum, including hearth cooking, woodworking, creek walks, vegetable tours through the museum’s gardens and a view- ing of a steamboat engine. But the fun isn’t just for the kids. Muse- um staff members say they are having a blast spending their summer in the village. “This is the best job I ever had; who gets to dress up like this for work?” said Ms. Hazlett, 21, who is working as a guide for the summer on break from studying sci- ence and biology at university. “A lot of people here are history majors. I didn’t have a lot of background but I’ve learned so much about Canadian history just since May.” Fellow guide Melissa Crisafulli said even for history buffs there’s always something new to learn. “Local history isn’t always very obvious, even if you live in Pickering, so I’m always learning about that. Giving tours is the best because you meet lots of people and you would be surprised at how many people, of all ages, are really interested in history.” Kids in the Village runs every Thursday at 10 a.m. until September. The Time Travel- ler camp offers kids a week of activities at the Pickering Museum Village.

From the grocery cart to your gas tank and everywhere in between, prices for day–to–day goods are near record highs. While you can't do much about the price of wheat or crude oil, there's one area of your home where a few quick fixes can translate into real sav- ings: your water bill. Follow these 10 tips and you could shave as much as 20 per cent off your annual water bill: 1. Make sure your dishwasher and washing machine are fully loaded before pressing 'start'. By running fewer and fuller washes, you'll use less water and energy. 2. If you don't already have one, install a low–flow showerhead. 3. Install a low–flow toilet. Or place a pop bottle filled with sand or water in your toilet tank. You'll use less water every time you flush. 4. Stop washing your car at home. Many people think it saves water but it doesn't. Most car washes have water recycling systems and cost just a few dollars per visit. 5. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving. 6. Check for (and fix) leaky taps and faucets. Even a small leak can waste thousands of litres of water per year. 7. Attach a rain barrel to your downspout to collect water for plants, flowers, etc. 8. Avoid using your toilet as a garbage can. Flushing a cigarette butt, wad of gum or a tissue can use as much as 14 litres of water (depending on the age of your toilet). 9. Keep a jug of water in the fridge to avoid having to run water from the tap until it's cold. 10. Replace your old dishwasher or washing machine with a model that's more water and energy efficient. www.newscanada.com 10 ways to cut your water bill this summer durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 29, 201112 AP TheRegionalMunicipalityofYorkisproceedingwithconstructionoftheSoutheastCollectorTrunkSewer, in accordance with the Environmental Assessment (EA) Report, approved on March 31, 2010. To begin construction of the trunk sewer, it is necessary to relocate sewers and watermains located within the Finch Avenue and Valley Farm Road intersection. This work requires the intersection be completely closed between August 2, 2011 and September 3, 2011. Some lane restrictions will also be required after September 3, 2011. Emergency and pedestrian access through the intersection will be maintained at all times. A detour route (shown on the attached map) has been developed in consultation with the Region of Durham and City of Pickering.

Rabindranath Maharaj won Ontario’s Trillium Book Award Mike RuTA mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The word on author Rabi- ndranath Maharaj is that he likes to write in an Ajax coffee shop. That’s only partly true. “It’s not just one coffee shop, it’s many of them,” he told an audi- ence on July 19. A night marking Maharaj’s win of The Trillium Book Award for his novel, The Amazing Absorb- ing Boy, was held at the Ajax Pub- lic Library. And he was quick to recognize in the audience people he knows from the local coffee shops. The Ajax resident says he choos- es the establishment depending on what he’s doing at the time. If he’s starting a book, Maharaj opts for a busy, noisy place because he likes the energy. However, when he’s doing revisions, he prefers a quieter coffee shop where he’s better able to concentrate. The award, given to the Ontario citizen who wrote the best Eng- lish-language book in the past year, garnered Maharaj $20,000, lots of publicity and accolades. The Amazing Absorbing Boy is the story of Sam, a recent Trini- dadian immigrant to Toronto, who escapes into the world of comics. Maharaj in an interview explains that the typical immi- grant novel often focuses on an older protagonist who arrives in a new country with dreams that are dashed. “I didn’t want to do that,” Maha- raj explains. “I wanted to look at Toronto in a new way, in a differ- ent way.” The main character is 17 years old. His father has barricaded himself in his home and with- drawn from the world around him. But Samuel is more adapt- able and “looks at every hurdle as a new adventure” through his imagination. “This is a story about change and transformation and par- ticularly how people deal with change,” Maharaj says. He says he had almost finished the book when he realized he had based Sam on his youngest broth- er, who died at age 28. Maharaj says he re-discovered comics as a 25 year old when his brother, 10 years younger, was an enthusiast. He came up with the idea for the book when he was writer-in- residence at the Toronto Refer- ence Library. Each night Maharaj would take the GO train home, looking at all of the construction taking place. “‘This is a city that’s constantly changing’,” he said to himself. “So I had this idea of a young person coming to live in Canada and try- ing to understand the city in a very naive and innocent way.” Maharaj says when he imbued Sam with comic-book sensibility, “everything fell into place.” He says in the year it took after the book was finished and before it was published, he wrote anoth- er, about a man building a hotel in Toronto. “I have no idea how it’s going to turn out,” he says. The Trinidad native has lived in Ajax since 1994. He says he was very impressed to find an active writers’ community in Ajax and all of Durham, namely the Writer’s Community of Durham Region. “That’s important to me,” Maha- raj says.

But this most recent collection of players from the Ajax FC might be the best yet, according to the head coach of the Gunners’ 93 program that is sending some 12 players off to various schools in the United States on scholarship this fall. “This group is a very good group. I’d say it’s probably the best group we’ve had,” says Croft, who has coached the same set of players since their U13 season. It was at that point the wheels were set into motion with regards to pursuing scholarship opportunities. Having previously sent around a dozen off another Gunners team -- in addition to doing the same with two Scarborough teams -- Croft entered the process knowing a thing or two about what goes into obtain- ing a scholarship. Armed with that knowledge, he conveyed a simple message to his players when he first took the helm of the club. “The message then was if they work hard and keep their grades up, work hard on the field, then they have a possibility, you know,” says Croft, noting the mes- sage sank in for many. “Obviously the boys have worked hard over the last little while on the field and kept their grades up and had the opportunity to get some offers. “It’s worked out pretty well for a bunch of them.” The group of 12 features several players from within Durham Region, including four from Pickering, Skylar Thomas, Darnell Parris, Myles Stanley and Tremaine Grant, along with four from Ajax in Emmett O’Connor, Boyd Reid, Brandon Chiu and Daniel Kuczynski. The others from Durham are Courtice’s Scott Wil- liams and Oshawa’s Brooks Skyers, while Keswick res- ident Nathan Ingham and Toronto’s Sebastian Aran- gio make up the other out-of-town contingent. Among that group, three players, Williams, Stanley and Parris, have signed on to play Division I together as freshmen at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, while the nine others are headed all over the place. Thomas will set up shop at Syracuse University, while O’Connor will call St. Bonaventure home, with Ingham heading off to the Sunshine State to attend Florida Gulf Coast University. Reid will take his talents to James Madison Univer- sity and Kuczynski rounds out the Division I commit- ments with his scholarship to Cal State Stanislaus. At the Division II level, Chiu will settle down at Slip- pery Rock University, meanwhile Grant and Skyers have found homes within the Division III loop, joining up at Adrian College and Neuman University, respec- tively. Arangio represents the team’s lone NAIA commit- ment as he heads off to John Brown University. Croft, who sat down and had lunch with the group earlier this week, said it’s great to see all the work this group has put in over the years finally start to pay divi- dends. Part and parcel to it all, says Croft, is the bond the young men have formed. While they may all be head- ing their separate ways, Croft believes they’ve scored a lot more than scholarships throughout this process. And that provides him with a certain level of satis- faction. “They are characters. They are from all over Dur- ham for the most part ... and these guys are the best of friends now. They guys have friends for life and a few them are even going to go to the same school,” he says. “From the soccer part, they’ve met a bunch of peo- ple that share the same interests and values. It’s great. That’s why I do this kind of thing. It’s a lot of fun.” obviously the boys have worked hard over the last little while on the field and kept their grades up and had the opportunity to get some offers.

BasketBall Agunbiade helps Canada remain perfect into quarters Junior women’s national team impressive at U19 basketball championships CHILE -- At the 2011 FIBA U19 world championship for women, the Canadian junior women’s national team beat the United States 64-55 to emerge perfect in the battle between undefeated Group E teams. With the win, Canada finishes the round atop the group, while the USA finishes second. Both teams have qualified for the quarter-finals, which start Fri- day. “We did a great job defending the guard play of the US,” said head coach Rich Chambers in a press release. “Our forwards made their entry into offence very difficult.” The Plouffe twins of Edmon- ton combined for 36 points, with Michelle scoring a game-high 24 and Katherine chipping in with 12. Meanwhile, Pickering’s Wumi Agunbiade continued her hot shooting with 15 points on 7-15 shooting (46.7%). Agunbia- de also added eight rebounds, though for the first time in the tournament, Canada was out- rebounded by an opponent. The win gives Canada an unde- feated record at 6-0 after the first two rounds, which is the best record for any Canadian nation- al basketball team heading into the quarter-final round at any FIBA world championship ever, according to a release on the Canada Basketball website. As of deadline, it was still undetermined who the unde- feated Canadian team will play in their quarter-final match, but Chambers knows that it will be Canada’s toughest test yet and doesn’t believe there is a favou- rite. “All eight teams that are left could win the world champion- ships,” stated Chambers. All remaining games can be followed via FIBA Live Stats at www.chile2011.fiba.com, while the semifinals and finals can be seen live at www.FIBATV.com.

And with that, depending on the outcome of last night’s Game 2 at the Ajax Community centre (after our deadline), they could be facing a quick elimination from the play- offs when play resumes tonight for Game 3 in the best of five series at the Powerade Centre. Following a solid start that saw the Rock grab a 2-1 lead midway through the first period on a pair of goals from Jordan McIntosh, things went downhill for Ajax as they allowed the next eight goals, five of which came before the end of the first, effectively creating a hole they would be unable to get out of. The run of five against in the first came in a span of under eight min- utes and left the Rock trailing 6-2 after 20 minutes. Brampton opened up the sec- ond with one early and two more to make it 9-2 before Garett Kikot and Travis Bland scored goals less than in a minute apart later in the period. That was as close as the Rock would get though. Brampton scored two more to close out the second and after Bland fired home his second of the night just 14 sec- onds into the third, the Excelsiors ended the night by scoring three in a row on the power play. Brampton scored six times on nine opportunities with the man advantage, while the Rock, accord- ing to pointstreak.com, went score- less in seven chances. McIntosh, meanwhile, added a pair of assists in addition to the two goals for a four-point night to lead the Rock. Leading the charge for Bramp- ton was Kevin Ross with three goals and five assists and Mike Hominuk with three goals and two helpers.

Bradley Latour, the team’s fifth pick of the 2011 draft, joins first- rounder Cole Cassels and second- rounder Ken Appleby as players who have signed on with the club. Latour, a left winger taken in the fourth round, 63rd overall, was cho- sen after a pair of defencemen in the third round, Rory McGuire and William Petschenig, who have yet to sign. “Bradley came in at orientation camp and worked very hard and made a strong impression on the organization,” said Chris DePiero, the team’s head coach and general manager, in a press release. “That combined with the strong season we saw from him in minor midget last season made this a logical next step.” Latour had 24-20-44 totals for Barrie minor midget last season.

BASEBALL Pickering Red Sox mosquito team wins tournament in Ajax Team defeats Chatham in final AJAX -- The Pickering Red Sox mosquito 2000 team won the Ajax Base- ball Tournament this past weekend. The team went 1-1-1 in round-robin play. In a 9-3 loss to Brampton, Evan Magill pitched three strong innings in the loss and Daniel Hazel led the way with two hits. In the tie against Chatham, an 11-11 final, Matthew McKittrick pitched four and two- thirds innings and Jacob Chung supplied a big two- run triple, while in the win against Royal York, 18-8, Mitchell Haywood and Ben Mitchell combined to pitch for the win and Connor Gillanders got on base four times with three RBIs. In their first elimination game against Scarborough, Luke O’Connor survived a collision at the plate in the first inning and went on to supply a couple of hits. Mitchell Haywood (four innings) and Evan Magill (three Innings) were on the mound and held Scar- borough to six runs in the 10-6 victory. The final was a rematch against Chatham -- the current OBA champions -- and it started strongly for the Red Sox with runs in each of the first three innings, highlighted by a two-run home run off the bat of Jacob Chung. In the fifth, Pickering scored six runs with the big blasts coming from Chris- tian Hsu, who legged out a two-run double down the first base line, and an opposite field three-run triple off the bat of Mat- thew McKittrick. Pickering’s defence was solid with Jack Full- er anchoring the infield at first base. Evan Magill started and was picked up by Ty Cymbalista, who pitched four and two- thirds innings, Mitchell Haywood came in for the last out and recorded the save on a strikeout for the 11-8 vic- tory. This was Pickering’s sec- ond tournament win this season, the first coming in Brampton last month. Members of the Red Sox are Daniel Hazel, Chris- tian Hsu, Connor Gilland- ers, Mitchell Haywood, Ty Cymbalista, Luke O’Connor, Jack Fuller, Matthew McKittrick, Ben Mitchell, Evan Magill and Jacob Chung. The club’s staff consists of head coach John Hay- wood along with fellow coaches Jason Mitchell and Jason McKittrick.

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

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind, because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before – only better, infi nitely happier and forever – we will all be one together with Christ. “TOGETHERNESS” Gone but never forgotten Love Brenda “Lovee”, Shannon & Devon Brian Raymond Carleton August 2, 1963-July 31, 1996 In Loving Memory of DOUG HAIGH JULY 17, 1924 - AUG. 2, 2009 Gone are the days we used to share But in our hearts you are always there Life moves on and years go by But love and memories never die Today, tomorrow our whole life through We will always love and remember you Your loving wife Enid and Family Join the AnnualFALL REGISTRATION SHOW at Pickering Town Centre 3 DAYS ONLYThursday, August 25Friday, August 26 Saturday, August 27 Call 905-683-5110 ext 228 for more show info Durham Craft & Gift Show Durham College October 28, 29 & 30, 2011 For booth information, Call Audrey 905 426-4676 x257 or Email: adewit@durhamregion.com www.showsdurhamregion.com In Memoriam In Memoriam ComingEventsC ComingEventsC VendorsWantedV VendorsWantedV UNIVERSAL HEATING AND COOLING GREAT S E R VI C E . .. ...LOW P R I C E S ! 416-445-1718416-445-1718 *10 Year Warranty www.universalhc.ca Tune-up & CleanFurnaces or A/C Plus 22pt.

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41), and for Frank, this aptly described his vivid and active mind right up until the end. Born to parents Annie and Cyril in Widnes, England on September 4th, 1933, Frank spent his younger years in England before marrying Marie Gately and moving to Canada and the United States. He is pre-deceased by his spouse Marie, and grandson Nicholas. Survived by his 5 children, Yvonne and her husband Dave, Wayne and his wife Jody, Mike and his wife Shelley, Karen and her husband Jim, and David, his 6 grandchildren, Adam and his wife Yulan, Julian and his wife Julie, Katie and her fiancé Alex, Krista, Sarah, and Christian, and his 2 great grandchildren, Ewan and Jack. We will never forget all of our family gatherings, visits to New Jersey sitting by the pool, playing cribbage, fly fishing on the Miramichi, and all his teachings on life. Visitation was held at the ACCETTONE FUNERAL HOME, 384 Finley Ave, Ajax, Ontario, from 6 to 9 pm on Thursday, July 28, 2011. All are welcome to come and celebrate Frank's life and share memories. Please also pray with us at the funeral service in memory of Frank at St Bernadette's Catholic Church, 21 Bayly St, Ajax, Ontario on July 29th, 2011 at 10:30 am.
