At an executive committee meeting on Mon- day, Sept. 12 councillors discussed a report that recommended relocating Pickering Ani- mal Services from its current location on Ree- sor Road in Toronto to a new facility at 1688 Hwy. 7 in Brougham. The City’s current lease and service contract with the Dog Pad Inc. on Reesor Road is set to expire at the end of 2011. The Dog Pad has asked for a 50 per cent increase to renew, which would amount to annual lease and service costs of $81,000, up from $54,000.

The incident, which left the 14-year- old boy with non life-threatening inju- ries, occurred during the In The Zone traffic enforcement blitz, undertaken regularly by Durham police. Witnesses told police the Pickering student was struck by an SUV as he used a pedestrian walkway at Kingston and Glenanna roads at about 7:30 a.m. last Friday. The SUV driver, described as a white woman in her 60s with white hair and glasses, slowed down momentarily before driving off eastbound on Kings- ton Road, police said. More than 1,570 tickets -- the major- ity of them for speeding and distracted driving in school zones -- were handed out to motorists during the first week of school, police said. Anyone with information on the inci- dent is asked to call 905-579-1520, extension 2512 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

E., Unit 2 $1299 Durham welcomes world walker Montreal man walks through Pickering on world-wide trek Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- For many men a mid-life crisis might lead to an ill- advised sports car purchase, but for Montreal’s Jean Beliveau it set off an 11-year odyssey. At the age of 45, in the midst of what he describes as a mid-life cri- sis, Mr. Beliveau decided to embark on a world-wide trek dedicated to peace and nonviolence for the children of the world. The jour- ney was a collaboration of sorts between Mr. Beliveau and his wife, who was hesitant about the adven- ture at first, but then came up with the idea for him to raise awareness about peace. “I told my wife about it three weeks before I planned to leave, I said ‘I’m going for a long run’,” Mr. Beliveau recalled during a stop at Pickering City Hall on Mon- day, Sept. 12, noting she wasn’t too pleased to discover that “long” actually meant a run around the globe. “I took a big risk because she could say ‘go on your way,’ and she took a big risk by saying we’d try to make it through this together. She was the one who told me to do this for peace.” Mr. Beliveau began his journey on Aug. 18, 2000. After walking 30 to 40 kilometres a day for 11 years, covering more than 75,000 kilome- tres across 64 countries, the 56 year old is now heading into the final leg of his journey, which will conclude on Sunday, Oct. 16 in Montreal. “It seems like such a long time,” he said of nearing the end of his journey. “I’ve imagined the end, but to imagine it and to live it are two dif- ferent things. Looking behind I have sometimes a little nostalgia, but I’m also happy to be home and happy to be with my wife.” Mr. Beliveau’s wife joined him for about three weeks each year throughout the journey, meeting him in whichever corner of the world he had reached at that time. He also had visits from his children throughout the years, but says he is ready to settle down into a normal life again. During his 11-year trek Mr. Beliveau crossed numerous des- erts and encountered a wide vari- ety of cultures and climates. When asked what his favourite memories are, however, he can’t choose just one. “There was plenty of memorable things, and I think every single step was significant,” he said, recalling proud moments such as meeting South African leader Nelson Man- dela and conquering particular- ly difficult terrain throughout the Andes. “Those are good moments, and there’s a lot of good things. The Andes I remember because when it’s really hard you’re happy after, it makes you proud. I met so many people during the walk, I stayed with more than 1,600 families and it was amazing to witness all the dif- ferent cultures and learn so much.” Looking forward, Mr. Beliveau plans to work on a book about his experience and speak to schools and organizations about the walk. He is currently working with the Canadian Department of Peace, which is an initiative aimed at encouraging the creation of an offi- cial Ministry of Peace in Canada. Rob Acheson, a representative of the organization, has chatted with Mr. Beliveau throughout the walk via the Internet and hosted the trekker at his Pickering home. “We want a Ministry of Peace in order to give an alternative to the military because the way the world is going it’s shrinking, and if we keep solving problems with guns and bombs we’re not going to have a world left,” Mr. Acheson explained. “We need to transition more to a culture of peace. Now that this walk has been done, this is the only time it’s ever been done, and it becomes something we can use to bring even more attention to this cause.” “When I’m done, then the mis- sion begins,” Mr. Beliveau added. For more information or to fol- low along with Mr. Beliveau’s jour- ney visit www.wwwalk.org. Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRolanD PICKERING -- Jean Béliveau is on the final leg of his walk around the world. Mr. Béliveau left Montreal in August 2000 and will return home in October 2011. In that time he walked 75,000 kilometers through 64 countries promoting peace for children. Information on school community councils translated to reflect Durham’s diverse demographics By Kyla Morgan newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Intended to accommodate and include Durham’s linguistically diverse community, infor- mation for parents on how to get further involved in their child’s school is now available in 16 languages. A one-time grant of $16,276 in March from the provincial Promoting Posi- tive School Climates ini- tiative allowed the Dur- ham District School Board to arrange the translation of the School Community Council brochure into five additional languages. “By making information accessible for all, barriers to education can be broken down and we can create the culture for a positive school experience,” said Whitby Trustee Kimberly Zeppieri. Available on the board’s website, the pamphlet informs parents about the SCC and encourages partic- ipation to help improve stu- dent learning. The board has not received any requests for language support during an SCC meeting, typically con- ducted in English. The board’s spokeswom- an Andrea Pidwerbecki said schools work with their communities to ensure inclusiveness. “We want parents and guardians to be engaged in their child’s education and would support everyone’s participation in the meet- ings,” she said. “The board is trying to find ways to increase parental involve- ment in their child’s edu- cation (and) the SCC is just one way to do this.” The leaflet is available in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Dari, English, Farsi/Persian, French, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Romanian, Rus- sian, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu and Vietnamese. The lan- guages were chosen based on the region’s demograph- ics and are the most com- monly spoken languages in the area, based on data from the Community Develop- ment Council of Durham. Also on the board’s web- site is a resource guide for parents entitled ‘Bullying Prevention: Educating and Empowering School Com- munities’. The booklet was translated into Arabic, Dari, Farsi/Persian, Chinese, Tamil and Urdu. Trustee Zeppieri said translating these materi- als and supporting settle- ment workers in schools, who help make new stu- dents and their families more comfortable in their schools and communities, are just two examples of how the board is working towards the goal of student success through open com- munication. -- Kyla Morgan is a freelance contributor durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 20115 AP HOT DOGS ,HAMBURGERS,SAUSAGES!

Results released Aug. 29 by the Education Quality and Accountability Office show that 69 per cent of Grade 3 and 6 students in the 2010-2011 school year mastered the reading, writing and math skills expected to lead to suc- cess in high school, post- secondary education, training and the work- force. This represents a 15-per cent increase since 2003. An Ontario govern- ment press release cred- its reduced class sizes, increased supports for teachers and the launch of the full-day kinder- garten program as aiding this increase. Also, 400 new schools have been built. Grade 9 students were also tested on the math skills the Ontario curricu- lum expects them to have learned by the end of the school year. Eighty-three per cent of students enrolled in the academic course were at or above the provin- cial standard, and 42 per cent of those enrolled in the applied course met or surpassed the standard. The results for individ- ual schools and boards throughout the province were to be made public earlier this week. Good SamaritanS The kindness of strangers eased a difficult situation To the editor: On the Sunday before Labour Day I got a flat tire on Rossland Road as I was driving my sister back to Oshawa. After putting on the hazard lights, I phoned CAA. This wonderful, considerate man and his wife stopped and asked if we needed help. While I waited for CAA they drove my sis- ter back to my house which wasn’t too far away. Then it started to rain heavily and they returned and lent me their umbrella until the next day. I didn’t get their names but they really confirmed my opinion that most people are caring and helpful. Hopefully I will be able to pay forward their thoughtfulness in the near future. I should mention that three others stopped to see if I needed assistance while I was waiting. This is not the end of the story. I received a phone call four days later from a couple that was out walking and found my plastic folder with my driver’s licence, etc. in the grass where I had the flat tire. They prompt- ly returned it to me at my house. This inci- dent shows the concern and consideration for others and really made my day. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Maureen Saxby Whitby WaSte Incinerator decision reflects a ‘sick democracy’ To the editor: Re: ‘A done deal and a healthy democracy in Durham’ editorial, durhamregion.com, Aug. 19, 2011. According to Metroland, we have a ‘healthy democracy’. If this were so, there must also be a ‘healthy democracy’ in totalitarian regimes where decisions are made by a Central Committee irrespective of public opinion. How can democracy be described as healthy when people-chosen representa- tives vote in a manner that is contrary to the wishes of the people? How can it be described as healthy when certain politicians are unscrupulously flip- flopping on their moral commitments made during the electoral campaign? Rather, the incineration decision is illus- trative of a sick democracy which only reflects a vote amongst 28 representatives -– period. Some politicians will attempt to ratio- nalize their vote by saying that facts have changed. Facts do not change; facts are facts. How- ever, the comprehension of the facts and the loyalties of some may change. Overall, this regrettable situation is the result of a lack of moral fortitude on the part of many politicians, practically non- existent media oversight and a chronic apathy of the population. Paul-André Larose Oshawa ProteSt Kudos to Durham police To the editor: On Aug. 17, 2011, there was a ground- breaking event at the site for an incinera- tor. The public wasn’t invited to the ceremo- ny even when it is our tax dollars that will build the incinerator. There were around 100 protesters who were outside the ceremony. Many were militant but peaceful as people took turns to shout in the bullhorn our indignation around this burning issue. At the same time the DRPS were profes- sional at quelling the audience. One police officer was taping the event just in case events went awry. As one protester shouted ‘this was public land yesterday but private land today’, the officers were not fazed. Kudos to the police who acted not just as authority but as diplomatically as nec- essary. Evidently, the police acting heavy-hand- ed during the G20 in Toronto was a tem- plate on how not to act at rallies. Brad Hogg Oshawa & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Over the many years of hosting local community runs in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington, Durham Region residents have contributed mil- lions of dollars to the cause. Each has his or her own reasons for participating -- a cancer diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, a selfless willingness to do contribute to the quest for a cancer cure -- and every dollar counts. This year’s event holds special meaning: Betty Fox, Terry’s mother, died in June after a brief illness. Mrs. Fox became the face of the Marathon of Hope following her son’s death, and through the next three decades continued to exhibit the same characteris- tics of her heroic son: determination, com- passion, keen focus and endurance. Residents in the communities across south Durham that are hosting runs par- ticipate in the event this year with a renewed commitment to honouring the memory of Terry Fox and to acknowledge the decades-long efforts of his mother. But it’s not just about taking part in a fundraising event. Terry Fox Run events also underscore the enduring inspiration provided by the event’s namesake, our deep and collective belief in the medical advances realized as a result of the annual events, and in the idea that a cure for can- cer can and will be found. Participants can choose a two-kilome- tre, five-kilometre or 10-kilometre route to match their skill level and do their part while enjoying engaging scenery, sharing in the fellowship of the day and helping to raise much-needed research dollars. To find details about run events in your com- munity, visit durhamregion.com and type ‘Terry Fox’ in the search field at the top right-hand side of the main page. The efforts of those from Pickering to Clarington will make a difference in the lives of friends, neighbours or family mem- bers struck with cancer, and to those who suffer alongside them. Terry Fox is a unique Canadian hero who embodied all of the characteristics that Canadians hope are reflected in them- selves. Those same characteristics are displayed each year as individuals and teams in com- munities across the world approach the start line at the beginning of every annual fundraising run. Let us honour the memory of Terry and Betty Fox, and continue the decades-long quest to find a cure. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 20117 AP 1-866-466-3807 RosebankPickering.ca NOW OPEN BY APPOINTMENT Prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.

From page 1 By relocating services and operating its own animal shelter, the City would see an annual cost savings of $30,000 over the current cost and $57,000 over the renewal cost. “I’m very proud of the organization we have right now,” said Councillor Bill McLean of Pickering Animal Services. “It’s the educational component I’m most proud of, that we are educating the public through various groups and bring- ing awareness to responsible pet own- ership. I think this new facility would be a win-win for everyone -- City, citizens, animals, volunteers and council with the eventual savings. I’m very excited at hav- ing an animal shelter that is second to none in Durham Region, if not Ontario. I think that’s important to us.” The new facility in Brougham would be about 10 kilometres from the city’s core, which is significantly closer than the facil- ity’s current location in Scarborough. Although it will also be bigger in size, staff say it still won’t be sufficient for the department’s long-term needs. “The proposed facility will be more than the current facility in terms of spacing, but the way the population is set to grow we will be outgrowing this facility,” said Lind- sey Narraway, supervisor for Pickering Animal Services. “We will be outgrowing the facility so in the long term it’s not viable but for the next five or six, maybe even seven years, we should be OK.” The report also recommends $100,000 in funding to pay for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Ms. Narraway said some of that money would go towards dog and cat cages so that the facility will be able to hold more animals than the current one. Councillor Doug Dickerson suggest- ed using the relocation of the shelter as a starting point to plan long-term and pos- sibly begin fundraising for a new and bet- ter long-term facility. “Now that we have virtually completed fundraising for the Ajax-Pickering Hospi- tal MRI this could be one thing we could take on,” he said. “I would expect that an animal shelter would be somewhere in the order of $1.5 to $2 million depending on land costs and other factors, but the bottom line is it’s no small amount and if we don’t start look- ing at that now then we’re going to get five to seven years down the road and see this as a capital project and be looking at debt financing. This gives us enough lead time to plan numerous events and it’s hard to find a home without some type of pet, so I think people would be supportive.” Councillors voted unanimously to approve the recommendation for a new animal shelter. The report will come back to council for a final vote Monday, Sept. 19. Move would save City money, offer more space Man sought in assault on mentally challenged woman PICKERING -- Police are trying to identify a man who sexually assaulted a mentally challenged woman after luring her to his home in Pickering Monday afternoon. The 25-year-old victim contacted Dur- ham police after the incident. She said she was waiting for a bus outside the Pickering Town Centre at about 1:30 p.m. when she was approached by a man riding a green bike who asked her to accompany him to his nearby residence. The woman was inappropriately touched while in the apartment, police said. Cops are appealing to the public for infor- mation on the suspect, who’s described as a white man in his mid-20s with a slim build and short brown hair. He wore a brown T-shirt and jeans. It’s believed he lives in the vicinity of the Pickering Town Centre and the Recreation Complex.

ENTER ONLINE @ www.durhamparent.com Column Durham shows off its creative side in Culture Days City wants ownership of lot to ensure road access is not requested Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A piece of privately owned land in the middle of a Pickering park could soon be in the City’s hands after coun- cillors voted to co-fund a purchase with the Toron- to and Region Conserva- tion Authority (TRCA.) At an executive commit- tee meeting on Monday, Sept. 12 councillors voted to approve a 50-50 cost split to purchase the 0.14- acre tract of private land in the middle of TRCA lands at Frenchman’s Bay Park for $20,000, but only if ownership would be conveyed to the City of Pickering, rather than the TRCA. “We’ve had several issues of late, and this is a perfect example, where the City and taxpayers are putting money into prop- erties and then many years down the road the intention of that property is lost and no one seems to remember what the purpose was or suddenly they have different inten- tions,” said Councillor Jennifer O’Connell. “We’ve also run into situations where we own something but have to ask someone for permis- sion to have it as public use. “I think we need to start taking the lead and ensure if we’re going to put in 50 per cent of any money that we have ownership, because the one piece of the puzzle we don’t have is the title.” Everett Buntsma, direc- tor of community services for the City of Pickering, explained that the cost- sharing partnership came out of a 1999 council res- olution that approved 50 per cent maximum funding for waterfront land acquisition with the TRCA. “There was a resolution of council in the 1990s stating that the City would pay 50 per cent of the cost but TRCA would own the property,” Mr. Buntsma explained. “This is the last parcel of land that’s still private- ly owned within French- man’s Bay Park. It’s one building lot and it does have road access, so while there’s no road there cur- rently, if someone were to build on it they could ask for that road allowance to be opened up. “The TRCA finds it very important to have that piece of land,” he said. Coun. O’Connell moved to amend a recommenda- tion approving the fund- ing to include the stip- ulation that the City of Pickering would receive conveyance of the land for the 50 per cent contri- bution. While Mayor David Ryan said he appreciated the concern regarding own- ership, the consequences of not approving the pur- chase could be dire. “I appreciate the intent and understand the con- cern,” he said. “That being said, if this amendment were to pass and the TRCA rejects the offer, either the TRCA picks it up and pays the whole shot or everyone walks away from the deal. Then we have a property in the middle of a conser- vation area, with a road allowance attached, that could be sold and devel- oped. “There’s nothing to pre- vent that happening and I think that would go against everything we’re trying to accomplish as a council,” he said. Councillors voted in favour of the amend- ment. The amended recom- mendation will come before council Monday, Sept. 19.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 201113 P ONLINE VOTING BEGINS September 7, 2011 VOTE @ WWW.DURHAMPARENT.COM Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA Y!AOUR SVE YHA * Conditions apply, see contest rules for details.

With just a piano and a small stage that allowed 360-degree views for more than 7,000 in attendance, John took the audi- ence through what essentially has become the soundtrack of their lives. Clad in a long jacket embla- zoned with a glittering skull-and- cross design across the back, John took the stage at 8 p.m. and never looked back through a sol- idly entertaining two-and-a-half hours of his popular song cata- logue. The crowd swayed and sang along throughout, starting with John’s opening number The One and ending with a stirring ver- sion of Crocodile Rock before he left the stage briefly and returned for a short autograph session and encore. In between, he treated the audience to 23 more songs in his repertoire, including Levon, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me, Tiny Dancer, Honky Cat, Benny And the Jets and more. The General Motors Centre pro- vided a perfect setting for the tone of the show, more intimate with a simple stage setup and soft light- ing. General manager Vince Vella says the sold-out concert packed a record 7,608 people into the seats, the most the venue has ever seen Playing host to an artist of this calibre “sets the stage for the future,” Mr. Vella said, noting words travels fast in the close-knit entertainment industry. “People will take note that Elton played a small, secondary market and it went very well. Every time we meet the challenge it opens other doors for us,” he says, point- ing to KISS and Cirque de Soleil as other large scale successes. John made a point, after every few songs, to stand up and acknowledge the audience on all sides, pointing fingers in salute, blowing the occasional kiss, wav- ing and smiling. The audience lapped it up at every turn. But they came for the music and weren’t disappointed. “It’s like listening to a record,” said Oshawa resident Tina Nott. “I grew up on Elton John.” Other residents shared Nott’s views of the quality of sound and musicianship displayed by John throughout the show, which included a number of extended song intros, and occasional solos that drifted into boogie-woogie and other foot-stomping disci- plines. Oshawa resident Paul Alexan- der obtained tickets on the day of the show in an 11th-hour effort and attended the concert with his wife, Viola. For him, it was well worth the wait and the effort. “This is the best concert Oshawa has ever seen,” said Alexander. “The sound was just phenome- nal.” This is one of five smaller-venue markets John is playing as part of this tour. Vella was quick to point out that a show of this scale wouldn’t have been possible at the former Civic Auditorium, saying this is yet another example of how a facility like the GMC benefits Oshawa. “The buzz from the show has been amazing, everyone is still talking about it,” he said. “They still can’t believe an artist like Elton was actually here.” Live muSic ninjaspy in Ajax vancouver band plays top Shelf Sept. 22 AJAX -- If you like your music hard and heavy, Ninjaspy is set to rock Ajax on Sept. 22. The Vancouver-based band, described as “an eclectic trio of broth- ers that blend influences of metal, ska, grunge, hardcore, reggae, funk, surf and jazz,” plays The Top Shelf Sports Bar at 7 p.m. It’s a 19-and-over show that also features bands Lumbergh and Back- lash. The band is touring Canada on the strength of its No Kata EP/graphic novel, to be released in the fall. “The No Kata EP is a real game changer for us,” states vocalist/guitar- ist Joel Parent in a press release. “Stylistically it stretches the boundaries of our genre-mashing moniker, incorporating some of the most outlandish sounds we’ve ever thought up or accidentally stumbled upon in a creative process. It harmo- niously weds all the elements of our musical adventures with a picturesque storybook that illustrates all the con- nections between music, dancing, martial arts and meditation that are the fundamental basis for Ninjaspy.” Admission is $5. Top Shelf is located at 527 West- ney Rd. S. Check out the band playing Circle Pity at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kKMYEkf15WY. AuDitionS Join the Durham Philharmonic choir Group auditioning this month OSHAWA -- A local choir is seeking new singers.

She has also acted as mentor and provid- ed art instruction to the disadvantaged at a Toronto resource centre for the homeless. This kind of giving back to the communi- ty is a very important aspect of her career as it has evolved, adding meaning and gratifi- cation to an already full and busy life. Smith’s path to the realization of full cre- ative expression has been an arduous one. Born in Scotland, she moved to British Columbia with her family when she was a child. She recalls being regarded as artisti- cally gifted but, being shy about her talent, she mostly created magical worlds, literal- ly, in a closet, on reams of computer paper her dad would bring home from work. Bucking the more conventional aspira- tions of her parents, she studied fine art at a college in Nelson, B.C. and began mak- Allan’s Artists photo by AllAn o’mArrA PICKERING -- Ruth Smith with her self-portrait as a bride, in acrylics on canvas with stitched-on veil. See SMITH page 18 Celebrated Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 2 Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Seeing artists at work and learning how to create your own art are just some of the events scheduled for this year’s Culture Days weekend. A national celebration of arts and culture, Culture Days is celebrated Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and 2 for the second straight year. In Durham, there are a variety of events slated and Durham Tourism manager Kerri King says it’s not too late to get involved. “It looks very good this year and it looks like we’re definitely going to have as many (events) as last year and it’s going to con- tinue to grow,” she says. She would like local people and groups who are hosting a Culture Day event to register it both with Durham Tourism, so it can be added to its online calendar, and with the national group (www.culturedays. ca). King notes the latter gives locals the opportunity to benefit from national expo- sure. A few Durham happenings have caught King’s eye, including Culture Days celebra- tions at Gallery on the Farm in Enniskillen. “I love this farm,” she says. “We buy a lot of our meat from there.” The farm features organic meats, and on Oct. 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be welcoming a number of guests, including Marlene Siomra showing her art. As well, Doug Hooper of Creative Collectibles is demonstrating wood-turning techniques on a lathe while Dan and Rosemary Jen- kins are showing how they work in clay and watercolour/oil, respectively. You are encouraged to bring a pre-washed T-shirt to make your own airbrush design with help from Dan Jenkins. There is no charge to attend or take part in the activities. See the extensive list of everything happen- ing at the farm at galleryonthefarm.com (Upcoming Events). Across the region in Pickering, on Oct. 2 the PineRidge Arts Council’s SilverStone Gallery presents a special Sunday on the Porch free event from 1 to 4 p.m. In addi- tion to Hardini the Magician, artist Michael Jack will show the stencil printing process and Lis Simpson is demonstrating Art Clay Silver. The gallery is at 617 Liverpool Rd., not far from the lake. Also in Pickering, on Oct. 1 and 2 Doors Open Pickering invites the public to see some of the city’s most interesting heri- tage and cultural sites, including the Devi Mandir at 2590 Brock Rd., between Taun- ton and Rossland roads, and the Brougham Hall, just south of the Brock Road/Hwy. 7 intersection.

Then she moved on to Calgary and studied mechanical drafting and worked at various low-end jobs to get by. In the mid- 80s she moved to Brampton and worked as a T-shirt designer before landing a job cre- ating point-of-sale material. Smith creates bold and simple water- colour paintings of flowers, large format acrylic-on-canvas portraits and serigraph prints that show a penchant for montage and assembly. Earlier difficult times in her life contributed to periods of creating darker works with abstract and surrealistic themes. But a breakout large-scale self-portrait as a bride signified a new beginning with more colour and a more positive outlook on life. Smith is excited about a new series of por- traits of mixed race native Canadians she has started (and is looking for subjects). She has work on view at the Silverstone Gallery in Pickering where she participates in the artist-on-the-porch events. Allan O’Marra is a professional artist living and working in Ajax.

From page 17 Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 201119 AP Pickering resident plays with Pittsburgh Penguins in rookie tournament Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Ian Watters didn’t get what he was ultimately looking for from the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he did get to experience the kind of lifestyle he would like to live. The 19 year old from Pickering was part of the young corps of prospects that suited up for the Penguins in the rookie tournament held this past weekend at the GM Centre in Oshawa. Invited to take part as a free agent, Watters was hoping to impress enough during practices and games against Toronto, Chicago and Otta- wa to garner an invite to the main camp that opens this weekend. That didn’t happen, but the experience wasn’t lost on Watters. “I just wanted to work as hard as I could and just go from there to see if they would give me a contract or invite me back to main camp,” he said on Tuesday afternoon following a 4-1 loss to Chicago in which he earned an assist. “I thought I did well, they thought I did well, but they just don’t have that many spots right now.” Watters played in all three games, earning just the one assist, as the Penguins rookies failed to register a win in the four-team tour- nament, losing to Ottawa 4-0 and Toronto 5-1. With scouts and staff from all four teams lit- tered throughout the arena watching every move, Watters critiqued his own perfor- mance. “It went well. I didn’t get as many points as I wish I could have,” he said. “It was a good experience, I learned a lot and I’m going to take it back to my Brampton team.” And what is it he learned that will benefit him in the OHL this season with the Battal- ion? “To compete every shift and in practice com- pete as hard as you can,” he said of the list. “Shoot to score every shot, take the body and work the puck down low well.” Watters knows better than most that the road to a life in professional hockey may have its setbacks, particularly as an undrafted player. But it’s not like he hasn’t been in this situation before. He was passed over in 2007 by every OHL team in his draft year, but selected in the eighth round of the 2008 draft out of the Ajax- Pickering Raiders midgets. He made the most of the opportunity, leading the Ajax Attack of the Ontario Junior Hockey League as a rook- ie in scoring with 31-48-79 point totals in 46 games to go along with 110 penalty minutes. In his first full season with the Battalion, 2009-10, Watters put up 9-16-25 numbers in 57 games, improving on those last season with 20-22-42 point totals in 68 games. This season, he returns as an overager for the hockey club. “They want me to be a leader this year, take on some of the younger guys under my wing and teach them the OHL hockey style and how to play,” he said of the expectations placed on him. With this his final year of junior eligibil- ity, Watters didn’t hesitate when asked what he would like to do next in his career. Spend- ing time at his first rookie camp, taking in the atmosphere, competing against some of the top prospects in the game, and the lure of skat- ing alongside the likes of Sidney Crosby have made up his mind. “For sure I want to try and play pro some- where,” he said without hesitation. “It’s an awesome lifestyle and the type of lifestyle I want.” HocKey Pro hockey intrigues Watters SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland OSHAWA -- Ian Watters lets a shot go during an NHL rookie game at the GM Centre on Tuesday. The Pickering resident was playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Chicago Blackhawks. The tournament also included the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. HocKey Pickering Panthers get into win column Power play contributes to 7-5 victory over Mississauga MISSISSAUGA -- Everything went right for the Pickering Pan- thers on Wednesday night. After going without a power play goal in 22 chances in a pair of weekend games to open the Ontario Junior Hockey League season, the Panthers convert- ed on four of eight opportuni- ties Wednesday in Mississauga, resulting in a 7-5 victory over the Chargers. Matt Galati scored a pair of power play goals for the Panthers, who were up 2-1 after the first period, but down 4-3 following 40 minutes. Three goals in a row to open the third period put the Panthers up 6-4, with Mississau- ga replying just past the midway point of the third to narrow the gap to 6-5. Matteo Baldassarra put the game away for the Panthers on a goal with just 11 seconds left in the game. Five seconds later, Bal- dassarra was issued an instiga- tor in a fight with Mississauga’s Anthony Novelli, resulting in a two-game suspension. Billy Lovatsis, Tanner Bull, Evan Bruno and Andrew Medi- co with one each also scored for the Panthers. Bruno led the Pan- thers attack with three points, including a couple of assists, while Andrew Goldberg and Jus- tin Periera chipped in a pair of assists each as well. Adam Stein went the distance in goal, stopping 30 of 35 shots, while the Panthers fired 44 of their own. The Panthers will be back in action with a pair of home games at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex this weekend, hosting Tren- ton on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Lindsay on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 201120 AP Competitive Te ams -Fa ll Tr youts Register online NOW for the Recreational Futsal Program ($130) Games begin October 16th, 2011 1735 Bayly St., Unit 14, Pickering 905-831-9803 All Tr youts will begin on September 24th and will continue until October 16th,2011 Please check our website at www.pickeringsoccer.ca for the dates, times and location of tryouts.

SOCCER Trillium grant helps Pickering Soccer Club Special needs program the big benefactor PICKERING -- Pickering Soccer Club (PSC) launched its Sport 4 Life program in August, thanks to a $116,600 grant from the Ontario Trillium Founda- tion (OTF). OTF representative Chan- dra Muttukumaru formally congratulated the Pickering Soccer Club at the ‘Movie Night on the Pitch’ fund- raiser, an event to raise funds for PSC’s special needs soccer program. “The grant has allowed us to develop a model pro- gram for athletes and vol- unteers within our commu- nity soccer club,” said PSC president Phil Frampton. Pickering Soccer Club is a non-profit sport organiza- tion that has provided soc- cer for children and adults for more than 25 years. The Special Needs Program was first developed three years ago by a PSC coach with the goal of providing opportunities for children and youth with disabilities to play soccer. The program has experienced tremen- dous growth over the past three years, from two ath- letes kicking a ball inside a gym to more than 40 play- ers and a like number of volunteers filling two fields every Wednesday night having fun, making friends, and learning some soccer skills. With this grant, the Pickering Soccer Club is able to achieve its goals of staff, coach and volunteer training to best service the athletes with special needs, integration of athletes with special needs into the recre- ational league, developing special supports, modifica- tions and accommodations to ensure full enjoyment of participation by both ath- letes and their families, and creating pathways for par- ticipation and competition beyond the local commu- nity. “Now we can design and deliver specialized training for our volunteers, coach- es, and referees to ensure that our athletes with spe- cial needs benefit the most from their participation in sport,” states program director Franco Taverna. “We are beyond thank- ful for the endless oppor- tunities in soccer that the Ontario Trillium Founda- tion has created for our program and athletes with special needs.” HOCKEY Positive start for Durham West AJAX -- The Durham West Junior Lightning began the season with a bang, reach- ing the finals in their first tournament of the year, the Union College Fall Showcase. The team played strong- ly through the round robin portion of the tournament, finishing in first place, beating Wyoming 6-0 in their first game, defeating the London Devilettes 3-2 and finishing pool play by winning over the Ontario Hockey Academy 5-0. In the semifinals the Lightning prevailed over the Oakville Junior Hor- nets 2-1 and then faced the Aurora Panthers in the final. Even though they out- shot the Panthers, they lost in a close 2-1 game. All of the team played well and are looking for- ward to this weekend’s Stoney Creek Univer- sity Showcase that will be played Sept. 16-18 in Hamilton. PICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE Spring is in the air and after a long winter you’ve opened your windows to find that they are old, ugly or just in rough shape. There are several benefits to having new windows and doors in your home. First, they improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. 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.

HOCKEY Generals fall to Bulls OSHAWA -- The good news is there’s nowhere to go but up from here as far as Dan- iel Altshuller is concerned and how he may be per- ceived by anxious Oshawa Generals fans. But the timing wasn’t great for the 17 year old to make a shaky debut before fans at the General Motors Centre, even if it was only a small gathering of just over 2,000 for a preseason game. And, meaningless as it may ultimately be, Wednes- day’s 6-5 loss to the Bel- leville Bulls underscores the fact that goaltending could still be an area of concern for the Generals, who are shooting for noth- ing less than the moon this season. So far in the preseason, the Generals have a 7-4 vic- tory over Peterborough, a 3-3 draw with Niagara and a previous 6-3 setback to Belleville. Sunday the Generals host Peterborough at 6:05 p.m. to close out the preseason. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 16, 201122 AP REAL ESTATE SALES We're Hiring! *We pay course fees *Licensing Training & Support *7 Locations Considering, Licensed or In course, contact… Pam Palmer 1-888-472-2767 www.BecomeARealtor.ca Coldwell Banker R.M.R.

The meet featured the top 18 and under swimmers in the country -- including 19 from Ajax -- and was held at one of North America’s fin- est outdoor aquatic facilities on Ile Ste. Helen. Ajax received strong leadership from Zach Fedak and Julien Dodu, both competing in their final Age Group championships. Fedak picked up gold in the 50m fly, 100m fly and 200m free and bronze in the 50m and 100m free- style. Dodu had a similar show- ing, swimming to bronze in the 800m and 1500m free, both of which shattered his existing club records. The boys teamed up in the 200m free, and put together one of the greatest races in recent club his- tory. Fedak and Dodu, who were fourth and fifth respectively after preliminaries, but expert control of pacing and race strategy in the final led to a one-two finish with Fedak touching the wall at 1:53.42 and Dodu finishing at 1:54.63. Dodu also appeared in finals in the 400m free and the 200m and 400m individual medley. Meanwhile, emerging star Nathan Lee made his presence known with big drops and solid front end speed. Lee reached the A final in the 50m and 100m but- terfly and the 50m and 100m free. He also achieved his first senior national qualifying time in the 50m free. Robert Gilchrist had huge swims in the 100m and 200m butterfly, smashing his best time by nearly two seconds en route to silver and a senior national qualifying time in the 100m. In the 200m he won a bronze and also made senior national time. In freestyle Gilchrist notched a silver medal and national time in the 100m and reached the final of the 50m. In the 200IM he set a new club record time of 2:12.18. Ryan Kelly also had quite a show- ing, taking home a box of medals. He was the only Ajax swimmer besides Fedak to make finals in all his swims. Kelly picked up bronze in the 100m butterfly, 200IM and 200m Fly and silver in the 100m and 50m free. He also appeared in finals in the 50m fly, 50m breaststroke and 200m free. Relay swimming was a big part of the success of the men’s team, the highlight of which was the 17-18-year-old 4x50m freestyle. The team comprised of Fedak, Lee, Gilchrist and Dodu won the national title, just missing the Ontario senior record by less than half a second. Ajax also got strong represen- tation from their 12-13-year-old relay. The team of Ethan Harrison, Alex Gilchrist, Kelly and Steven Taylor finished in the top-10 on two separate occasions with a 10th in the 4x50m free and a fourth in the 4x50m medley relay. Other males competing were Dave Malcolmson and Curtis Voth, Mark Burns and Daniel Wilson. On the women’s side, Aryanna Fernandes had the women’s team swim of the meet in the 200m but- terfly. Although she just turned 11 this spring, and was racing in the 12 and under category at her first ever national meet, Fernandes fin- ished sixth. Darelle Cowley placed in the top- 10 in the 50m and 200m breastroke and 100m freestyle. Kirah Monks achieved her first ever point scor- ing swim in the 1500m freestyle, while Devin Ste. Marie swam to fifth in the 200m butterfly. Emily Vandenberg chipped in with some best times. Ajax finished the competition in 12th, and fifth best from Ontario. swimming Medals galore at Age Group Nationals for Ajax club Football Ajax-Pickering Dolphins come up empty against Burlington AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins COMFL teams suffered their first losses of the season against the Burlington Stamped- ers. The Dolphins atom team put forward a gallant effort but was overpowered in a 21-0 loss. The peewee defense, undeni- ably among the best in the league, provided some classic plays to keep the mighty Stampeders out of their end zone. The Stamped- ers would score first, but with 10 minutes remaining in the game, the Dolphins led 20-6. But the determined Stamps kept press- ing, and finally broke through the Dolphins defense with two more touchdowns, making the final 22-20 for the Stampeders. The Dolphins bantams were also denied a win, as the Stamps would complete the sweep with a 54-22 win over the Dolphins. On a positive note, the follow- ing Dolphins players won awards during the 2011 OVFL season: Bantam -- Trey Humes, Christo- pher Dever, Nathaniel Benjamin, Matthew Romain Junior -- Meschach Green, Raishaun Provo, Carson O’Sullivan, Stuart Mackenzie Senior: Keldyn Ahlstedt.
