REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Though she draws rave reviews from her patients, a Whitby pediatrician might have her licence yanked because she was charging an annual membership that delivered services beyond the typical rushed appointments many people are used to at doctors’ offices. Allegations before the Ontario College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons are that Dr. Karen Dockrill, who owns the Mom and Baby Depot on Dun- das Street West, charged a mandatory block fee to patients and that she charged a fee to accept patients. Dr. Dockrill said the fee, which was up to $2,200 per year, was for services that went beyond what was covered by Ontario’s health-care system, including two-hour-long wellness assessments for babies, a 24-hour line to call with questions, the services of professionals such as a dietician and whole host of classes to help new mothers.

On Saturday, July 30 two motorcycles were travelling north on Salem Road in Ajax when a Toyota vehicle turned into the path of the lead bike, causing a colli- sion. The driver of the second motorcycle was able to stop safely but the driver of the first bike, a 27-year-old Whitby man, was seriously injured. He was taken to a local hospital and later transported to a Toronto trauma centre where he remains in serious but stable condition. The driver of the Toyota, a 61-year-old North York resident, was issued a pro- vincial offence notice for careless driv- ing, while the second motorcycle rider was issued a summons for operating a motor vehicle without insurance. The second collision happened Mon- day, Aug. 1 at about 9:20 p.m. on Cartier Avenue in Oshawa. Witnesses told police a motorcycle was driving north on the street when the driver tried to do a “wheelie”, causing both people on the bike to fall off. The driver fled the scene and the pas- senger was found with serious injuries and taken to a Toronto hospital. Police found the driver nearby and arrested him. Oshawa resident Nathan Shaw, 28, is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, fail- ing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm and possession of property obtained by crime. He was also charged with several offences under the Highway Traffic Act and held for a bail hearing. Police charged the passenger, Terry Osborne, 27 of Oshawa, with possession of property obtained by crime Under $5,000 and failing to comply with a pro- bation order.

Pickering woman suffers multiple gunshot wounds TORONTO -- Ten minutes after the “pow, pow, pow” of gunfire scattered the Saturday evening crowd on Lake Shore Boulevard, police were all over the scene. An hour before, onlookers were watching a jubilant Caribbean Carnival parade. Now they were seeing some- thing else. A man lying motionless on the asphalt, with one offi- cer cradling his head as another performed chest com- pressions. A woman arriving on the scene, held up around the waist by a stone-faced man. She was crying so vio- lently that most of what she said was indecipherable. “That’s my brother,” she eventually managed to tell one of the officers before being led onto the other side of the yellow police tape. The triple shooting that killed a 30-year-old man from Scarborough and injured two others is now in the hands of the Special Investigations Unit, a body that probes cases of death, serious injury and allegations of sexual assault involving police officers. Details have been scarce. According to media reports, officers allegedly shot the man when he refused to drop a gun he fired into the crowd. The SIU has not confirmed the report. “Police discharged their firearms; that’s why we’re there, but to what extent and how many and who, we can’t get to that yet,” said SIU spokesman Frank Phillips. The SIU has identified two officers as the subject of their investigation. Officials are not releasing the victim’s name until they get confirmation that his family has been notified. A 21-year-old woman from Pickering also suffered multiple gunshot wounds. She underwent surgery early Sunday and remains in critical but stable condition in hos- pital. An 18-year-old man from Scarborough grazed in the eyebrow with a bullet was expected to be released Sunday night. -- Torstar News Services Ajax family members caught up in drug bust AJAX -- Three members of an Ajax family are facing charg- es after a police raid that resulted in the seizure of marijuana and psilocybin. Durham officers executed a search warrant at the Corn- wall Drive home Thursday, seizing more than $15,000 in cash as well as a quarter pound of pot and 15 grams of magic mushrooms. Daniel Todd, 54, Glenn Todd, 26 and 57-year-old Wendy Todd, all of Cornwall Drive, Ajax, face possession and traf- ficking charges. Durham cop charged in crash with motorcycle rider DURHAM -- A Durham police officer has been charged after an investigation into an accident in Oshawa that left a motorcycle rider with multiple injuries. The charge, announced Friday, was laid after an examination of the June 30 crash by the Province’s Special Inves- tigations Unit, a civilian agency that probes incidents of death or seri- ous injury involving police. The SIU was called in after a Durham police cruiser responding to a call collided with a 46-year-old motorcycle rider on Taunton Road. The rider sustained multiple frac- tures. Constable Bradley Browne faces a single charge of dan- gerous driving causing bodily harm. He is to appear in court in Oshawa Sept. 7. Police briefs incidents claim lives of Markham, Whitby men DURHAM -- Police are reminding residents to stay safe in the water after two drownings occurred in Durham over the long weekend, On Saturday, July 30 police were called to the locks in Bolsover after a 53-year-old Markham man drowned. Reports say the victim failed to surface after he and sev- eral younger men jumped off a dam into the water. The man was found floating in the water a few minutes later and rushed to hospital in Orillia where he was later pronounced dead. Police say there are signs posted at the locks advising that swimming is prohibited due to the strong undertow. In a separate incident, emergency services were called to a Whitby home in the Taunton Road East and Anderson Street Area just after 10 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 1. A 56-year-old Whitby man had been swimming alone in his backyard pool when his wife found him face down in the water. He was rushed to hospital without vital signs and pro- nounced dead. Police are urging residents to swim only in designated areas, be aware of the water conditions before diving in and to never to swim alone or unsupervised -- even in a backyard pool. Police Two weekend drownings in Durham Politics Grades wrong on council report card To the editor: Re: Ajax Council report cards, news, dur- hamregion.com, July 14, 2011. Since the 2006 municipal election the people of Ajax have continuously pro- claimed community safety to be the No. 1 issue that needs to be addressed. Yet the only open public meeting on this topic that members of council have orga- nized was a last-minute, poorly advertised public meeting held by three members of council in north Ajax on June 30 the night before the July 1 long weekend. This kind of weak approach to dealing with a major Ajax problem represents council- lors’ ongoing no-show efforts in other mat- ters such as budget, planning and develop- ment, communication, public awareness and education. These councillors all came knocking on our doors to get elected and then we never see or hear from them again. Our council- lors are performing without voter input, without an audience, without visibility, without credibility. This is not good politics! This is not good governance! It appears to me that the job of Ajax councillor is a part-time job that pays well and has no job description. I disagree with your opinion. Overall, I think Ajax is not “being served extremely well by this group of councillors”. Using your grading system I believe they are average in most categories and need improvement overall (D to C). Michael Baker Ajax controversy Limit ticket sales for big acts at GMC To the editor: Re: ‘Fans unimpressed by way concert tickets sold’, news article, durhamregion. com, July 29, 2011. I, too, tried to secure tickets on the Friday morning of first (and, it would appear, only) day sales, via both Internet and phone, to no avail. I also had an account set up but when I tried to log in a few minutes before 10 a.m., I got the 60-second wait screen over and over and over again. When I was finally able to log in, it was too late. When a big act books at the GM Centre, I don’t under- stand why there’s an eight-ticket limit in the first place. With such a small venue perhaps the ticket limit should be reduced to four or even two per customer so that more fans can obtain tickets. Either that or a wrist band policy and in-person tick- et office purchases only for the first day of sales. Something obviously needs to be done to avoid future disappointment. My understanding was that this was sup- posed to be a “thank you” concert for the Durham community. I wonder how many of “us locals” actually got tickets. Colleen Musick Clarington Feedback Skateboarding a positive activity To the editor: Re: ‘Drug charges laid after Oshawa skatepark investigation’ news, durhamre- gion.com, July 13, 2011. It is preposterous to believe that a skate- board park in Durham was taken hostage by drug dealers. Your article states that people were not allowed to use the park unless they bought drugs based on so-called reports which were unsubstantiated since no actual charges were laid in regard to intimida- tion. Your article should have kept to the facts of the matter and not portrayed the skate- board park as an unsafe place. How about just reporting what actually happened, not what may have happened? Skateboarding is a positive activity and there is a large population of skateboarders in Durham who do not appreciate articles that make the public feel that the skate- board parks are unsafe.

Another long weekend has come and gone in Durham Region, and fresh new tragedies have been recorded. In Whitby, a young man suffered a life-threatening head injury when the dirt bike he was rid- ing crashed. Police say he wasn’t wearing a helmet. Also on the weekend, an Oshawa man was killed in a Clarington crash when his vehicle left the road and struck a tree. These two weekend incidents follow sim- ilarly tragic occurrences on the Canada Day weekend when two men were killed in a Lake Scugog boating accident. That same weekend, an 18-year-old woman suffered serious injuries in a crash in Cannington. Finally, two Durham men drowned in separate incidents, one in Bolsover and one in a backyard pool. Those losses add to an unfortunate spike in drownings this summer, which has sparked earnest calls for families and individuals to learn how to swim and always wear lifejackets when on the water. Such tragedies can often be avoided, but the efforts of police and emergency work- ers to promote safe summer practices don’t appear to have had much of an impact on the decisions people are making as they head out to enjoy all that the summer sea- son has to offer. Rather than focus on statistics -- nobody ever thinks they’ll become one -- perhaps Durham Region residents should focus on the victims of these tragedies, the life- altering turn for their surviving family members, the suddenly empty desk beside them at work, the children who will grow to become adults without the steady hand and wisdom of a mother or father to guide them. Perhaps we should focus on the depth of loss, the soul-crushing grief and the tears that are shed. Perhaps we should relate all of those consequences to our own lives before we start the motor on the boat, kick the pedal on the dirt bike, or paddle into deep water in the family canoe. We’re only halfway through the summer of 2011. Think about those Durham fami- lies trying to cope with unbearable grief and honour the memory of their loved ones by taking a moment to reflect when you’re on the road, at the beach, or in the water. Think about tomorrow and the day after and the day after that to help bring per- spective and safety to your summer pur- suits. Nobody wants to become a statistic. Nobody should become a statistic. We have a new set of appliances in our new home. Needless to say, I could not be happier. Not, as any sane person might expect, because new appliances general- ly mean greater efficiency, reliability and time saving, but because I am a button- pushing gadget geek. I also love manuals. Love them. I will read a manual from cover to cover with the relish of a teenage boy and a stolen copy of Penthouse Forum. I wonder, is this a ‘man’ thing? My wife abhors manuals. She is of the ‘turn it on and go’ school. Which has resulted in not a few unwanted surprises. Who knew, for instance, that the juicer had a temporary plastic liner? Or that shredded plastic was virtually indistinguishable from orange pulp and apparently just as digest- ible? At any rate, the sudden profusion of man- uals to ingest has given me hours of read- ing pleasure. And some frankly eye-open- ing revelations. Times have changed a tad since I’ve purchased a new stove, washer and dryer. The operation of the latter two machines is so complex that in addition to a dictionary-sized instruction booklet they also have a laminated ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ card attached by a chain. The washer has so many buttons, LED lights and warning beeps that when I go downstairs to do a load of laundry I feel like I’m walking into a NORAD silo. All that’s missing is my wife and I having to turn our ‘access keys’ as the same time. I love it. The stove, you would think, would be considerably less intricate. I mean it’s just a matter of turning the elements on and heating stuff up, right? Wrong. This baby has more circuitry than an F-18. I can also only assume that the manufacturers and/ or marketers of this appliance have made a conscious decision to go after the male demographic. How else to explain goofy yet remarkably compelling features like: ‘Oven Lock-Out mode’, ‘Air Guard’ and ‘Silent Running’. I kid you not. ‘Silent Run- ning’. What man could resist throwing a pot of beans on the burner and rigging the vessel for ‘Silent Running’? Again, I am in heaven. At times, I must say, the optional features list borders on the ridiculous. I still haven’t gotten my head around ‘Sabbath Mode’. Not being a particularly ‘observant’ any- thing, let alone Jewish, I had to do some reading on this one. According to Wikipe- dia, Observant Jews are prohibited from doing things such as making a fire, prepar- ing food or even closing a switch or press- ing an electronic button on their Sabbath. Now, thanks to a little computerized chica- nery, Observant Jews can have their Chal- lah and eat it too. Buttons can be pushed, elements turned on, but thanks to a ‘delay switch’ God is fooled into thinking nobody is doing any real work on his holy day. It’s all the oven’s fault. The mind of God is no match for the brains at GE. And while, at first blush, this seems weird and even silly, it speaks volumes about how far we’ve all come. Not only technologi- cally, but culturally. What could be more inclusive, tolerant and dare I say it, loving, than appliances that respect people’s dif- ferences? Who ever thought the day would come when names like Kenmore, Amana and Frigidaire would lead the world into peace and understanding? Now that’s what I call better living through technology. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for his column. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 3, 2011NEIL CRONE Appliance manuals make for reading bliss RYAN PFEIFFER/ BEHIND THE LENS HOT TOPICS: Jillian Follert says on Facebook: ‘OK, so maybe I’m not a kohlrabi person.

JAVED AKBAR - GUEST COLUMN Ramadan a time to engage mind, soul With the sighting of the new moon, Rama- dan, the ninth lunar month in the Islamic calendar, proclaims the global season of fast- ing for Muslims. For the next month, from dawn to dusk, able-bodied Muslims abstain from food and drink but also controlling passions, anger and ill feeling towards fellow humans. It’s an armour against evil thoughts and speech, an exercise in self-restraint. In fasting a Muslim has to safeguard the form as well as the spirit of fasting. It is not a retreat from normal life, but it encourages and engages a believer’s mind and soul in a positive vein to live a virtuous life of kind- ness and compassion particularly towards those who are in need. Fasting embellishes the soul to attain perfection. It was during this sacred month that prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) received the first rev- elation of holy Qur’an to discipline life and restoring it to its pristine purity. This book is a perfect guide and of binding charter for the believers. It is the touchstone to deter- mine right and wrong. Its teachings are crystal clear and all-embracing. Going by its words, respecting the worth of human life is an integral element of faith. Fasting is not meant to punish the body but to purge the toxic wastes and strengthen the mind. The change is not something physical, but rath- er an inner atmospheric change. In Rama- dan you strive to control what you do and how you spend your time rather than just going with the flow. Ramadan is when you focus on your inner self. Ramadan is a time for introspection -- a deep look inside to reflect in a world where an increasing number of people are falling victim to natural and man-made calami- ties; hunger, homelessness, human rights abuses, greed and more greed. Violation of others’ rights comes out of the ‘ego’ which allows no other vision besides self-interest. Such ego-worship reflects a heedlessness of the creator, the all-knowing and almighty sustainer, and lord of the universe. Muslims must resolve to emerge out of a long nurtured state of self-pity and inaction and meet the many challenges confronting them today. -- Javed Akbar is director of outreach at the Pickering Islamic Centre durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 3, 20118 P But following a 2006 complaint, Dr. Dockrill was ordered to stop charging the fee by the college, leading to the elimination of many of the services in March. “I’m very sad about it,” said Dr. Dockrill. “Mom and Baby Depot was a vision and I believe it’s worked very well for the patients ... I have done a lot of great work, some of the best of my career.” Dr. Dockrill said she cannot afford to con- tinue fighting the College on the issue and said she plans to plead guilty and is hoping to avoid the suspension of her licence. The College has the authority to pull it all togeth- er. Kathryn Clarke, senior communications co-ordinator with the College, said that doc- tors can charge block fees for things such as doctor’s notes and other services not cov- ered by OHIP as long as it’s not mandatory. “You’re permitted to charge a block fee, but there are rules around how you do it ... a key element is a block fee can be offered to a patient, but it can’t be the only option,” she said. Doctors also can’t levy a charge to accept patients. “Essentially patients are entitled to receive insured services and not pay extra for them,” said Ms. Clarke. Dr. Dockrill has been a doctor for about 30 years and opened the Mom and Baby Depot in 2006 after working at the Oshawa hospital as a neo-natologist. There she learned it was important to address issues not just with babies, but with mothers as well. She said she wrote a letter to both the Ministry of Health and the College before opening Mom and Baby Depot, detailing her business plan, and while the Ministry warned there might be issues with her block fees, the College had no response. Ultimately, Dr. Dockrill said she decided not to charge fees for the individual services but instead opted for an annual fee because the service was so comprehensive. While she operated Mom and Baby Depot, Dr. Dockrill also continued to offer a con- sult, which means other doctors could refer patients to her to deal with specific prob- lems. The complaint to the College was lodged after Dr. Dockrill’s staff informed a mother that while it could make an appoint- ment to address the issue for which her child had been referred, she wouldn’t become the child’s regular pediatrician without a mem- bership. The fee for a membership was initial- ly $2,200 for children in their first year and then decreased as they got older. It was later changed to a flat $1,500 fee for all ages. A major benefit of membership was the Bright Futures assessment, where Dr. Dock- rill and a nurse spent two hours with a baby and the family. “It involved the whole family, so you assessed how mom and dad were doing in addition to the baby,” said Dr. Dockrill. She said that gave her the opportunity to talk to parents about all kinds of issues including how to address sleeping problems, family stresses and even marital problems. But the session also helped identify signs of post-partum depression in the mother and autism spectrum disorders in the babies, she said. “They’re really geared to picking up devel- opment problems so we’re able to identify kids who are going to have learning disabili- ties well before school,” she said. With the membership, in the first year there were nine Bright Futures assessments, followed by three in the baby’s second year and two each year after that. But since March when she was ordered to stop accepting membership fees, she said she can no longer afford to offer the pro- gram because currently OHIP pays $32 for a well-baby consultation. At the rate she can’t afford to spend two hours with a family because the money she earns not only cov- ers her salary, but the salary of her staff and the overhead of operating the office. “At $32 a visit, you gotta do six to 10 visits an hour,” said Dr. Dockrill. Other services have been cut and her staff has shrunk from 12 people to three full- time staff and two-part time staff including the maintenance worker for the two-storey office. She’s also been told she must accept 30 newborns a month as patients. Because of that, she’s no longer accepting children older than five. Still, the future of the clinic is uncertain without her previous revenue model, said Dr. Dockrill. Parents such as Newcastle’s Olga Kangun praised Dr. Dockrill and the services at the Mom and Baby Depot and are upset about the changes. “I think in a country like Canada the health care should be a lot better, but if it’s not, peo- ple who want to pay should be able to pay,” said Ms. Kangun, whose daughter is almost two. She said her previous doctor didn’t seem to spend enough time with her baby. “I’m upset, I think it’s unfair because she was doing a good thing for people and people should have a right to choose,” she added. Meanwhile Dr. Dockrill said there are other doctors who offer similar concierge services. “We said to the College, there are many others out there who are doing this, why are we being singled out and they said your name came before us,” she said. Now with the upcoming provincial elec- tion she’s hoping her story will prompt some discussion about the health-care system and she’s considering a legal challenge against the way the current system is set up. “The College, the Ministry (of Health), the federal government all agree the health-care system must become patient centred. They don’t know what patient centred is. Patient centred means choice.” medicine Durham doctor under threat of suspension due to patient fees DURHAM from page 1 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 3, 20119 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Date Meeting/Location Time August 17 Committee of Adjustment 7:00 pm City Hall -Main CommitteeRoom Upcoming PublicMeetings Allmeetingsare open to thepublic.

I went to Brownie camp a handful of times as a kid, but we slept in cabins and ate in a dining hall -- hardly what I call roughing it. As a teenager I slept in a tent at the occasional outdoor music festival, but I don’t think that counts. I’ve always wanted to try camping but was intimidated by my lack of knowledge and daunted by having to buy all the equipment. According to Lori Waldbrook, a spokeswoman for Ontario Parks, those are the same obstacles that hold most people back. “We’ve known for awhile there was a segment of the pop- ulation that wanted to try camping but was reluctant, people who don’t have a family his- tory of camping, or newcomers to Canada,” she says. “There are a lot of barriers ... people don’t have the skills or the equipment, they worry about safety, maybe they’re afraid of wildlife. We’re trying to address all of those.” This summer Ontario Parks is offering a pilot program aimed at arming would-be campers with outdoor skills. The Learn to Camp program gives newbies the option of attending free afternoon or eve- ning community sessions offered at locations across the GTA -- or taking the plunge and doing a two-day, one-night session at one of three participating provincial parks. The overnight sessions are offered at Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville, Sibbald Point Provincial Park in Sutton and Darlington Pro- vincial Park in Bowmanville. The $46 cost covers a campsite for up to six people, two days of activities and information sessions and the chance to borrow tents, air mattress- es, cookware, lanterns, coolers and tons of other equipment provided by Coleman. Participants need to bring their own clothes, bedding, toiletries and food -- but there’s a $25 Foodland gift card and grocery coupons to help offset the cost of meals. It’s a pretty good deal considering a camp- site for one night would cost about that much. My husband and I took part in an overnight session July 16 and 17 at Darlington and left much more confident than when we arrived. We learned how to put up and take down a massive six-person tent and a screened din- ing tent, build a fire, cook on a propane camp stove, plan meals for a camping trip and pack a cooler. There was also information on “leave no trace” camping, identifying wildlife, outdoor safety and how to be courteous to your camping neigh- bours. Even questions that I felt silly asking -- where do you dump the water after you wash dishes? Is it OK to play a radio? -- were welcome. We were joined by a diverse assortment of other rookie campers ranging from a young couple who had recently immigrated from China, to families with young children and parents who dragged along eye-rolling teen- agers. Our group gathered in a circle of camp chairs for each session, watching as program leaders demonstrated how to use equipment or perform a task. Then we got to try each lesson at our own campsite as leaders circulated offering help. I’m one of those people who struggles with maps and diagrams and can barely assemble Ikea furniture, so putting up and tak- ing down the two tents was by far the most challenging part for me. It looked easy enough during the demonstration, but after we dumped out a bag of poles, pegs, strings and a mound of shapeless green fabric I got flustered and didn’t know where to start. The trick is being organized and doing one thing at a time: separate the tent poles from the fly poles, have pegs and a hammer at the ready, lay the tent out on flat ground in the direction you want it to face, assemble the poles and thread them through the loops in the right order. Taking it down was easier, but getting all that stuff back in the tiny bag was incredibly frustrating -- ditto for trying to roll the sleep- ing bags and mattresses into their tiny pouch- es. My favourite part of the weekend was cook- ing meals on the propane camp stove and exploring the huge bin of outdoor cooking equipment Coleman provided -- everything from a neat little toaster device that sits on a propane burner to stuff I would never have thought we needed like a cutting board and tablecloth. I discovered that if you can use a barbecue you can use a camp stove -- it’s pretty much the same process to connect the propane tank and light the burners. We made pasta for dinner because it was one of the recommended meals listed in the orientation kit, and it turned out great. Homemade sauce frozen in advance and tucked in the cooler was easily reheated in a pot on the stove while the pasta boiled next to it. We toasted bread on the toaster, topped it with garlic and butter and in no time had a beautiful home-cooked meal, right there in the forest. Making a campfire later that evening also went smoothly after we learned how to add firestarter to the pit first, then use kindling to construct either a teepee or log cabin, before adding larger chunks of wood. As a newcomer to camping, I was surprised to learn you aren’t allowed to bring your own wood into the park or use any twigs or sticks found on the ground to feed your fire. Because the wood was a little damp, it was tough to make the roaring fire I had envi- sioned, but it still worked out pretty well and I was thrilled to try my first ever s’mores. Overall, I loved the program and feel like I could now do a night or two of very basic camping without help -- which is a good thing because that exactly what’s happening for Part 2 of this series. In August we will be returning to Darling- ton to try camping solo. Coleman has agreed to lend us some basic equipment and we’ll be rating it on how easy it is for inexperienced campers to use. There are still dates available for overnight Learn to Camp sessions. Visit www.ontari- oparks.com/learntocamp for more informa- tion.

The group is being run in partnership with Community Development Council Durham and Northern Lights Canada. “We encourage anyone and everyone who is looking for a job to start networking as soon as possible,” said Sobia Ahmad, an employment counsellor at Northern Lights Canada. Sessions run on Thursdays in Ajax from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Northern Lights offices, Unit 19 in 25 Bayly St. W. They also run in Pickering on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon at the Pickering Public Library, One the Esplanade. Topics include interview questions, first impressions, job etiquette, resume and cover letter tips, body language, inter- view wardrobe and getting familiar with tools that help peo- ple find employment. Brooklin resident Felix Leandre was among the participants at the group on July 21. He has been attending the group for about two months and he recently finished a college program to become a community and social service worker. “I was attending here to gain a little more experience, so when I’m ready to get into the job market, I have more tools to work with,” he said. Mr. Leandre is embarking on a second career after an injury meant he could no longer work in the automotive industry. “It’s a big change up for me, but coming here I’m meeting people with different experiences in the white collar field,” he said. Jahne Foxen is a newcomer to Canada from Zimbabwe and she has also been part of the group for several months. She has a background in administrative work in reception and accounts payable and receivable. Ms. Foxen said members of the group keep an eye out for each other and tip each other off on job leads. In some cases members who have gone on to find a job keep in touch with people who are still searching. “I find when you’re here you meet people you talk to people and you hear this and that which is helpful in your job search,” she said. Among the success stories in the networking group is Erick Sanchez, who was laid off from his job as a network admin- istrator after his company moved all its resources to Europe. The Ajax resident headed to Northern Lights for help with his job search. “For the first two weeks I was just going there I was going there to get a hang of a plan as to how to search for a job,” he said. In the fifth week he joined the networking group. Among the things he learned were different approaches to answering interview questions. “I liked the idea because I’d been in different interviews and I wanted to find out exactly what I was doing wrong,” he said. To improve their skills, members of the networking group prepare presentations to share and Mr. Sanchez created one on using the Internet as part of a job search. His experience with the group led him to a job at CDCD as a network administrator and he returned in June to once again share the presentation with the group. He shared online sources of job leads such as LinkedIn, and taught them how to upload their documents so they could download a resume from any computer with an Internet connection. Mr. Sanchez explained that one of the benefits of the net- working skills group was that it helped to have several people working together to find a solution to one problem. It also helped deal with the stress of job hunting. “It makes you feel better psychologically because they’re all in the same boat, they’re all looking for a job,” he said.

Ta temono AMC-Whitby Entertainment Centrum DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering Over the last twenty years or so, Durham Region residents have received a vari- ety of benefits from the various cultures that have become part of our community. One of those benefits is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its mark in the area is that of Japanese food. One of the best examples of Japanese food restaurants in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with locations in Ajax and Pickering. Makimono Japanese Restaurant Updated recently with a more modern style, Makimono Pickering maintains an ambience that appeals to a younger crowd as well as families and more mature customers. What’s more, the sushi bar has been replaced with a more modern one. Yet their menu still offers a variety of raw and cooked dishes including such favor- ites as Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. And as many of their staff has lived in Japan, they bring an authentic Japanese style of cooking to every dish. Makimono Pickering and Ajax both offer All-You-Can Eat and a-la-carte dining, take-out, delivery and party trays. Makimono Pickering can accommodate groups of up to 60 people and func- tions for up to 130 people. Both Durham Region locations of Makimono are open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 10:30pm. Fridays and Satur- days from 11:30am to 11pm and Sundays Noon to 10:30pm. All-You-Can-Eat lunches start at $13.99 per adult while All- You-Can-Eat dinners are $20.99 per adult. Some restrictions apply. Visit www.makimono.ca or one of their locations for details. In November Makimono opened a new restaurant in Oshawa called Kakemono. Located at 1300 Harmony Road North on the south-west corner of Harmony and Taunton Roads, Kakemono features All-You-Can-Eat Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. Kakemono offers a real taste of Japan for lunch or dinner! And what’s more; in September 2011 a new location named Tatemono will open in Whitby in the AMC-Whitby Entertainment Centrum on Consumers Drive, just west of Thickson! Makimono Ajax is located at 50 Kingston Road East (RioCan Durham Centre), just east of Harwood Avenue (905-427-2726) while the Pickering location is at 1790 Liverpool Road on the west side between the 401 and Kingston Road (905-831-0355). Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 3, 201115 AP AthleticsOttawa bound three speed Academy athletes heading to canadian Youth track and Field championships shAwn cAYleY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Tony Sharpe and a trio of ath- letes from the Speed Academy are headed to Ottawa this week. Wesley Best, Tacuma Anderson-Richards and Taylor Sharpe all made the Ontario team that will compete at the Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships in Ottawa, coached by Sharpe. “It’s a pretty exciting opportunity for the Speed Academy,” Sharpe said last week, while his athletes underwent final preparations for the event. “Last year we had one kid make the team and this we have three and I am also the head coach of the team, so keeping it in the family is exciting.” Best, 17, will be competing in the U18 100- metre and 200-metre events. He currently ranks second in Canada in both categories, accord- ing to Sharpe, whose daughter Taylor, ranked first in the 300m event and second in the 200m. She will compete in both those races, in addi- tion to the 100m in the U16 category. Anderson-Richards, meanwhile, might be the most interesting story of the bunch. The 16 year old, who grew up playing soc- cer and basketball, among other sports, took a shot in the dark and gave track and field a try just recently. And the results that followed were simply stunning. “He basically came out of the building here at St. Mary High School, walked up to the track and said he wanted to try out for the relay team,” Sharpe said of Anderson-Richards’s introduction to the sport. “He’s about six foot three, so one of the teachers I guess recom- mended the long and high jump. He thought he’d try it. He did and he went to OFSAA and won the high jump and is now ranked No. 1 in the country in the youth age, which is incred- ible for a guy with no formal training. “It’s an amazing story.” He’ll compete in all three jumping disciplines -- high, triple and long -- in Ottawa, and Sharpe believes he’s got a great chance to return home with some hardware. “He has the potential to medal in all three. It’s not bad when you find a kid like that,” he said. Meanwhile, as for his own participation, Sharpe is quite thrilled to get a chance to take the helm of Team Ontario after serving as a chaperone and helping out as a coach at nationals last year. “This year I was asked to be the head coach and it’s nice because I feel my time is bet- ter spent this way than waiting for kids to go to bed,” he said, referencing the chaperone duties. After this event, all three will have the rest of the summer to get ready for another year of high school competition, with Best heading into his Grade 12 year, Anderson-Richards his Grade 11 and Sharpe her Grade 10. Considering all the success they -- and other athletes at Speed Academy -- have enjoyed of late, Sharpe said he expects a bright future to unfold for many of them, especially when it comes to scholarship opportunities. “Easy 10 scholarships if they keep their heads on and continue to progress,” he said referring to those at the club right now. Now what exactly has been the key to their success, aside from the many hours of training and hard work put forth? “The key is they are having a tonne of fun. I look at my kids after practice, nobody leaves the track,” Sharpe explains. “They are here until eight o’clock and nine o’clock just hanging out. “We’re certainly providing an environment where kids want to come work and make a lot of friends.” The youth championships begin Friday and run through Sunday.

See your Doctor for a Referral Major SerieS LacroSSe Rock bounced from playoffs 11-3 loss in Game 3 ends team’s season AJAX -- The Ajax Rock knew they would be in tough against the Brampton Excel- siors during the opening round of Major Series Lacrosse playoffs. And indeed they were. The Rock was swept aside in three straight games of the best-of-five, culminating with an embarrassing 11-3 loss to the Excelsiors in Game 3 last Friday night at the Powerade Centre in Brampton. With their season on the line, the Rock allowed the games first nine goals, creating a deficit that was impossible to fight back from. Having said that, a couple of timely goals may have changed the tide for the Rock, who won just three times during the regu- lar season. They limited Brampton to just a pair of first period goals, and even in the second period another four posted by the Excel- siors didn’t exactly put the game out of reach. Three more in just over eight minutes to open the third did, however. Jason Mainer, meanwhile, finally broke the Rock goose egg at 9:51 of the third, scoring on the power play from Jordan McIntosh. Two more from Brampton made it 11-1 before Mike Vertoli and Mike Triolo round- ed out the scoring with a pair of meaning- less tallies inside the final seven minutes. Tyler Carlson took the loss in goal, fac- ing 59 shots, according to pointstreak.com. Anthony Cosmo, in the Brampton goal, faced 35 Rock shots. Pacing the Brampton offence was Mike Hominuk with three goals and five points, while Joe Resetarits had three goals and four points. Other Brampton goals came from Carter Bender with a pair, Chris Cor- beil, Dan Dawson and Sandy Chapman. Ajax had put forth a much better fight a night earlier in the second game of the series, dropping just a 9-7 decision to the Excelsiors. That game was tied with six minutes remaining in regulation, however, the Excelsiors managed the next two goals to register the victory. With the series win, Brampton advances to the second round where they will face the Brooklin Redmen. The Redmen earned a bye into the sec- ond round after finishing second in the MSL standings during the regular season, only behind Peterborough, who will face Six Nations in the other semifinal.

Chris Carlisle, a 2010 15th round pick of the team, has signed a standard OHL con- tract with the club. The 16 year old was drafted 248th overall, but was unable to attend camp following his draft year due to injury, but has rebounded nicely and is expected to fit in well with the club. “He went home and had a strong season and came back this year and competed and earned a place here,” said coach and general manager Chris DePiero in a press release. Carlisle, born in December of 1994 is a late birthday and will not be eligible for the NHL Entry Draft until 2013. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 3, 201117 AP www.vpi-inc.com LOOKING FOR WORK?
