CLAREMONT -- There’s new life for Claremont’s nearly 150-year-
old Baptist church thanks to the work of a volunteer group from
England.
Craig Wilson, pastor at the church, recently kicked off a new
direction for the church, rechristening it the Life Church and ren-
ovating to create a more open and friendly atmosphere for the
community.

Roger Anderson remains a strong and
knowledgeable leader who is never hesi-
tant to express an opinion.
He continues to be a vocal advocate for
the Region, this year going to bat for Dur-
ham on employment and population esti-
mates for Seaton and support for munic-
ipalities from the provincial and federal
governments.
His role as chairman was front and cen-
tre as council debated making the contro-
versial switch from an appointed region-
al chairman to one who is elected by the
public.
While Mr. Anderson has said that he
doesn’t support direct election, he didn’t
let that point of view get in the way of
moving the issue forward.
He drops a bit this year because he con-
tinues to be impatient and short-tem-
pered when it comes to councillors or
members of the public who don’t see eye
to eye with him or question the Region’s
position.
It will be interesting to see whether
this changes now that he has to win the
approval of voters if he hopes to hang on
to his seat.
Trustee Braney has stepped up this year,
becoming the vice chairman of the board
and also representing the board at the
Ontario Public School Boards’ Associa-
tion. He’s active in the community and
attends numerous events. He demonstrat-
ed this when he attended the launch of the
anti-bullying I Am Who I Am campaign
at Pine Ridge Secondary School, and the
annual Proud of Pickering event. As CEO
of the Alzheimer Society Durham, he sent
the message of hope when he reached
the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in January,
a move of a great role model. He brings
up important topics at board meetings,
such as issues that pose problems in other
boards. For example, he pointed to an
issue surrounding a controversial speak-
er in another school board, asking for the
board’s policy on guest speakers. This for-
ward thinking is needed at the board and
is reason for his grade increase.
Trustee Paul Crawford’s attendance
records are the lowest of all trustees,
and he doesn’t contribute much at
the meetings he does attend, which
is why his mark drops. This trustee
could share more knowledge than
he currently does, considering his
lengthy experience as a trustee. He
doesn’t sit on any committees aside
from those all trustees are required
to, either. His expenses are in check.
He should speak up more on impor-
tant issues instead of fading into the
background. If he steps up, he could
earn a higher grade.

Pickering Public School Board Trustees
Pickering Catholic District School Board Trustee
Trustee Jim McCafferty has proven suc-
cessful as board chairman once again
this year after he was acclaimed in the
position. He’s often a voice of calm
and reason at the table, offering sound
advice on numerous occasions, such as
advising trustees to tread lightly while
discussing certain issues. Although
there was some confusion when the
board stated the public couldn’t speak
at public meetings, and later noted it an
oversight when the bylaws were revised
in 2009 and the public could in fact
speak at meetings all along, he was able
to admit the mistake on behalf of the
board. He clearly cares about the stu-
dents and is quick to discuss issues per-
taining to them. He continues to show
good leadership and is familiar with the
rules of procedure at the board table.

E-waste collection
program launched
in Ajax, Pickering
UXBRIDGE -- Recycle, reduce, reuse has
now taken on a whole new meaning in
Durham Region after an e-waste collec-
tion service pilot program was launched
for apartment and condominium build-
ings.
On June 25, Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor
was joined by Scugog Mayor Chuck Mer-
cier, Oshawa Mayor John Henry and
many more to announce the beginning
of a new e-waste collection program that
will be hitting 41 residential buildings in
Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge with a total
of 4,797 units.
“It is great to be taking a step closer to
our Regional goal of 70-per cent waste
diversion,” said Mayor O’Connor. “We
are encouraging residents to find ways
to recycle their gadgets. The Region of
Durham is working very hard to access
designated condos and apartments for
the residents to participate, it is an easy
way to recycle right at home.”
The Region of Durham Works Depart-
ment has partnered with the Ontar-
io Electronic Stewardship to officially
launch the pilot program, allowing res-
idents of select apartments and condo-
miniums to easily and properly dispose
of their e-waste.
Each participating building will have a
yellow bin for e-waste collection, holding
35 to 40 kilograms of waste while larger
items can be set beside the bins for pick-
up. Each building has also received vari-
ous items such as door hangers, posters,
magnets and letters to inform the resi-
dents.
“As a growing region, it is increasingly
important for us to protect our environ-
ment,” said Mayor O’Connor.
“May we be the leaders in achieving
our goal.”
The program will accept 44 types of
electronics including televisions, com-
puters, printers, projectors and more.
Currently, the Region services more
than 23,000 multi-residential units with
a garbage and recycling waste collection
program.
While the new e-waste program is cur-
rently being introduced into 41 build-
ings, it is expected to begin in additional
buildings in the region later this year.
“I am confident that our reputation as
top e-waste recyclers will only get stron-
ger,” said Mayor Mercier. “Just think
what we can accomplish in waste diver-
sion rates once everyone is aware and
educated.”

Ministry of the
Environment looking
for video footage
PICKERING -- Several baby gulls rescued after being
blown off the roof of a Pickering building last week have
died.
The Ministry of the Environment has been called in to
assist in the investigation of an incident at 940 Brock Rd.
S. in Pickering, where dozens of baby ring-billed gulls
were found dead or injured in the building’s parking lot.
An anonymous individual who called Pickering Animal
Services to report the incident said the birds had been
blown off the one-storey building’s roof by some type of
power washer or high-powered hose.
“We’re still investigating, but we’re hoping this won’t
be simply a summons,” said Debby Houghton, an SPCA
officer for the Durham Region Humane Society.
Ms. Houghton and an officer from Pickering Animal
Services netted almost 40 babies after responding to the
scene on Thursday, June 21. The gulls were taken to the
Toronto Wildlife Centre for care. About four of the birds
have since been euthanized due to injuries. Fifteen
birds were found dead at the scene.
“Some had broken wings or trauma to the head, and
unfortunately with their size and how young they were,
they had to be put down,” Ms. Houghton explained
of the birds, the smallest of which weighed about 68
grams.
“Under the Federal Migratory Birds Convention Act,
you can just get a summons, but this will be more seri-
ous because of the extent,” she continued. “The inves-
tigation is continuing and we’re hoping to get access to
video footage.”
Ms. Houghton said investigators are currently work-
ing to obtain footage from security cameras on adjacent
buildings, which may show what happened.
The ring-billed gulls, which nest in colonies, are fed-
erally protected under the Migratory Birds Convention
Act, which means their nests, eggs and fledglings are
protected from disturbance or destruction during the
breeding season, according to Environment Canada
spokesman Mark Johnson.
Records show the building at 940 Brock Rd. S. is
owned by GTA Industrial Properties Inc. The company
did not return a request for comment Friday.

Pickering can see the efforts of its council marked
on the city’s landscape: a new pedestrian bridge
crossing Hwy. 401, redevelopment plans along Liv-
erpool Road, the new Pickering Learning Centre
and more.
Led by veteran politician and Mayor Dave Ryan,
Pickering continues to make gains on behalf of
citizens. Mayor Ryan is a familiar face at commu-
nity events and has enjoyed success in promoting
Pickering and luring new investment. He’s a respect-
ful presence at council but could do more to exert
authority during divisive debates. Pickering’s inter-
ests and success motivate this mayor and he has
earned another ‘A’ this year for his ongoing efforts.

continues to impress and provides a strong, clear
voice for her community. She’s not afraid of conflict
and does her homework, providing constituents,
staff and fellow councillors with knowledgeable
answers and informed questions. She’s active at the
Region and is often found in the middle of debates,
always with Pickering’s best interests in mind, but
would benefit from the wisdom of accepting defeat
and moving on to other issues when a pet project or
issue is lost on votes. The expectation is that Coun.
O’Connell should continue to grow as she has in the
past year, earning her an improved grade.
Regional Ward 2 Councillor Bill McLean continues
to provide a consistent and stable presence at coun-
cil meetings. He’s deeply involved in the community
and asks relevant questions. He’ll vote with a block
on some issues and go on his own in others, a reflec-
tion of a person who votes with his conscience, such
as he did during recent budget discussions. He’s a
solid councillor with a solid track record and repre-
sents the City and his constituents extremely well,
resulting in an ‘A-’ this year.
Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues was
an unknown quantity when elected in 2010, upset-
ting longtime incumbent Rick Johnson. He has a
perfect attendance record but appears occasionally
to be unprepared at meetings. He’s been known to
ask questions that have already been answered in
staff reports, and tends to focus too long on single
topics, which can dominate discussions when there
are other important agenda items to debate. To his
credit he has built strong support in his rural com-
munity and came out strongly against a Pickering
airport on the residents’ behalf. He’s doing well
nearing the halfway mark of this term, but must
work on meeting preparation and offer his views
more judiciously at meetings.
City Ward 1 Councillor Kevin Ashe continues to
provide steady leadership at Pickering Council. His
insights are valuable when he chooses to wade in
to debates and has moved more than his fair share
of motions. He’s adept at balancing competing pri-
orities and must be credited for calling on fellow
councillors to work more effectively together going
forward. His efforts in the last year result in a slight
upgrade to his mark in 2012.
City Ward 2 Councillor Doug Dickerson has been
mired in controversy for the last several months
over campaign finance questions after a compli-
ance audit committee determined he had exceeded
spending limits in 2010, including $15,000 in alco-
hol that wasn’t used as part of his re-election bid.
Though he is well known and a familiar face around
Pickering who certainly has his share of support-
ers, his occasionally and unnecessarily combative
nature during meetings has raised public eyebrows
and enmity among fellow councillors. But someone
with Mr. Dickerson’s depth of experience -- he has
compiled more than three decades of public ser-
vice -- should have a much firmer grasp on election
legislation and spending limits. Coun. Dickerson’s
grade is reduced this year to a D.
Ward 2 City Councillor David Pickles, meanwhile,
continues to toil quietly but efficiently on behalf of
his constituents and the larger community. He’s
responsive to constituent needs and can be count-
ed on to occasionally identify emerging issues, such
as the recent ban on shark fin soup in Pickering. He
tends to vote with like-minded councillors on issues,
but is not afraid to break from them when circum-
stances dictate. Overall, Coun. Pickles continues to
provide consistent and capable representation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Incinerator’s losers
are the taxpayers
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham incinerator price tag
jumps $11 million, still within approved
budget’, durhamregion.com, June 4,
2012.
A new report issued by powers that be
states the price tag has jumped $11.5
million but not to worry, we are still on
schedule, budget and within the origi-
nal projected costs.
The only thing changed is the price tag
-- an oxymoron if I ever heard one. The
reasons for the increase are the HST,
host community costs, inflation, and
utility connections, costs that any pru-
dent contractor and project committee
should have expected and allowed for.
Durham Region works Commissioner
Cliff Curtis stated, “We get more clarity
as we go along.”
In other words, up to now they have
been working in the dark with estimates
and projections. Isn’t this a typical gov-
ernment project similar to the Darling-
ton Nuclear Station in smaller scale? As
long as the taxpayers are on the hook,
these are the results we can expect:
huge cost overruns followed by many
lame excuses.
My projection is when all costs are tal-
lied the project expenses will exceed
$300 million by a large margin. Every-
one will be ecstatic; the contractor with
his extra income, the Region having its
way with a completed incinerator after
many years of wrangling with the oppo-
nents. The only losers will be the taxpay-
ers. Then again that was to be expected.

Money for abortions
could be better spent
To the editor:
I would like someone to give a prop-
er answer as to who has promoted and
passed a law that a 14-year-old girl can
get an abortion charged to OHIP with-
out parental consent. How many unnec-
essary abortions have been performed
and at what cost? No wonder OHIP is
going broke while the pubic has to pay
up front for prescriptions.
Another issue with so many teenage
girls birthing babies is declaring that
they don’t know who the father is so as
to get mother’s allowance from the gov-
ernment. Some have as many as three
babies and get many things paid for.
Sometime ago there was an article in
your papers about ‘baby mommas’. I ask
why this is promoted and how long tax-
payers can support this situation. It has
become an immoral situation, especial-
ly for the children.
People who have lost their jobs or
homes need more assistance than they
are getting; money and benefits could
be better distributed. These issues need
to be openly discussed and corrected.

Top 10 List
On collecting curbside recycling:
My rant has to do with the guys that pick up our
blue boxes and trash bins. We are constantly
reminded that we have to recycle and what goes
in what box and what doesn’t and
that they should be set out on the
curb by a certain time. We are also
reminded that our Christmas trees
need to be facing the road with the trunk out and no
bags. So what is the problem you ask? If we are to have
our blue boxes, garbage cans and trees set so neatly at the side of the
road, why is it the guys that pick them up can’t have the same respect
when replacing them. I have come home to
broken blue boxes and garbage cans in the
middle of my driveway. I have to park on the
road and get out and move it just so I can
get in my driveway. I have actually taken a
few pics that I could share of our bins and
other peoples in the driveways or because
they were thrown down the garbage can rolls off the curb and onto
the road. I have also come home to garbage from the blue box on my
lawn because they have dropped it but can’t be bothered to pick it up.
-- Debi David
I was out walking recently when it suddenly occurred to
me that, although I can easily find my away around town, I
haven’t a clue what the names of most of the streets are.
Unfortunately, this is not a function of my only having lived
here a short while. I was exactly the same way in the town
that I just lived in for 20 years. I just never got a handle on
the street names. Locations seemed to be always pinpoint-
ed not by their address but by their proximity to other
landmarks. ‘I’ll meet you at that place across from the
arena’, ‘Oh, she lives just behind the variety store’, ‘Yep,
they found him dead drunk in front of the cenotaph.’
No numbers, no streets, but everyone seemed to
know exactly what you’re talking about.
What makes this doubly odd is that, at the
same time, it occurred to me that it wasn’t always
this way.
I can remember, as though it were yesterday, the
names of each and every street in the neighbor-
hood I grew up in. I wonder why this is. Is
the map of your childhood as indelible to
you as mine is to me?
I was about to hazard that this
must’ve been a function of our
parents wanting to keep an eye
on us as children, that they
needed to know where we were
playing and that we knew how to
get there and return safely. And so
street names and addresses had been
drummed into our flighty little heads.
But of course that wasn’t the case at
all.
Nine times out of 10, in those days, if a
parent asked us where we were going, the
response they invariably got ... and were usu-
ally satisfied with, was ... ‘Out’. They were
just happy as hell to have us gone from
the house and they knew that, like the
sparrows of Capistrano, or perhaps
more aptly ‘buzzards to a carcass’,
we’d return like clockwork for meal-
time.
The answer, I think, is something much simpler ... because
it was a much simpler time. As a kid, 40 or so years ago, if
you wanted to hook up with a friend to do or plan to do
something, you needed to physically go there. You proba-
bly hopped on your bike ... or if you came from a big fam-
ily like mine, stole your older brother’s bike ... and pedalled
over to your buddy’s house. There was no texting, no Skyp-
ing, no e-mail. And parents, at least mine, were seldom
of a mind to drive you anywhere. We had phones but
we weren’t overly comfortable using them.
This may sound incredible to today’s tele-
communications savvy kids, but back then a
surefire way to catch a suspicious glare from a
grown-up was to pick up a phone in the middle
of the day. And even if you wanted to risk it, you
still needed to know your pal’s address to find
his number. So street names and num-
bers featured pretty prominently in our
lives.
Finally, I believe that territorial-
ity may have had something to do
with it. If you knew what street
a kid lived on, you could get a
quick handle on him. Gain some
valuable intel on whether you
were going to end up friends or
enemies. After ‘What’s yer name?’,
wasn’t ‘Where’dya live?’ the next
most important thing you asked a
new face?
I guess where you grow up will
always remain an important, even
unforgettable, place in our minds.
After all, when I meet someone new,
once I get their name I seldom ask
them where they live ... but I very
often ask them, as though the kid
in me needed to know, where they’re
from.

This week’s question: What do you think should happen to members of law enforce-
ment charged with criminal offences following the recent arrest of a police officer with
the Durham Regional Police Service?
A. I’m not sure.
B. We must follow due process. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
C. They should be fired immediately if charged.
A. Officials had better start creat-
ing programs and services to meet
future demand.
B. It doesn’t mean anything to me.
C. So what? I’m tired of hearing
about all these baby boomers.
Census results show that Durham Region has the highest per-
centage of baby boomers in the GTA residing here. What do
you think?
...Black widow!
A story last week that we covered about a Black
Widow spider being discovered in neighbour-
ing Northumberland County and the response
it generated on Facebook has provided some
interesting reading. Here’s what our Facebook
contributors had to say about the creepy dis-
covery:
Belinda Fitt: YUCK!!!!
Leta Rox: found one in scarbor-
ough yesterday...
Bev Bell: we had one in our pile
of lumber up in Marmora....it
took off too fast and hid under
another stack of wood....now I’m
worried my dogs will find it.
Robyn Minnikin: Gah! Don’t let
my son see this! He’ll freak! He
thinks they are nowhere near
here. Port Hope is 20 minutes
from family.
Clint D Ewing: What a gorgeous
spider, it’s a shame couldn’t get
a picture of the hour glass on it’s
belly.
Kellie N Ashlin Bailey: I love
spiders myself and yeah she’s
gorgeous but seriously kill it the
last thing we need is an outbreak
and one of our kids dying from
being bitten!!!!
Lisah Pilchak Hynes: I like spi-
ders too, but after snapping the
pic, I would definitely squish her
to death. Deadly poisonous!
Dan R Nicholson: They are still
rare in canada, they mostly get
here in fruit and veggie shipment
from the southern US but ya if
seen kill it they are fast and
aggressive

Helping him bring his vision to life was
a team of 23 volunteers from Jubilee
Church in Maidstone, Kent in England,
who arrived on June 20 and spent a week
renovating the building.
“To have people come from another
country to help out our community is
incredible,” Mr. Wilson said.
“It’s about family in that bigger picture
way, for this church to understand our
needs and come help out in a communi-
ty like Claremont, which a lot of people
just drive through. That ought to light
the spark in us to help our own neigh-
bours.”
Mr. Wilson has been working with the
Jubilee Church since meeting its mem-
bers at a Toronto conference in 2010 and
had discussed his vision for the church
with Michael Puffett, Jubilee’s senior
pastor. When Mr. Puffett was planning
a trip to Toronto for the Mission GTA
conference, he decided to gather some
members and tack on an extra week to
help out in Claremont.
“Why not?” Mr. Puffett said of the deci-
sion.
“We had a real connection with Craig
and his wife and worked with them a lit-
tle bit on the new direction they wanted
to go in and we wanted to continue that.
We’ve been loving all the changes, they
want it to be more of a community cen-
tre than a church so it can be used all
through the week.”
The volunteers paid their own way to
come help out, and many had to take
vacation from their jobs. “It’s great to be
able to come and help out in this way, it’s
exciting to be able to support them,” said
Ben Doggett, 22, who was busy taking
apart the church’s drum set for repaint-
ing, which he viewed as a nice change
from his work of the day before, bundled
up in protective clothing ripping insula-
tion out from under the church’s floor.
“One of the things that stood out to me
was just the scale of what we’re involved
in through the church,” he continued.
“Getting to meet all these amazing
people and hearing their stories. It’s
incredible to come and have my hori-
zons broadened in that sense.”
The workers laboured throughout
the week ripping out pews, which were
replaced with chairs, redoing the interi-
or of the church and flipping the layout,
installing a kitchen cafe in the back hall
of the church and sprucing up the inside
and outside with fresh paint.
“We want the congregation to say good-
ness, this is different,” Mr. Wilson said of
the work.
“For two years we’ve been working
toward seeing change, but the building
is really only important if the vision is
there. You see people who want to lose
weight, but then they don’t change any-
thing about their life. We get comfort-
able and things become the status quo.
The renovations are a way to really kick-
start us moving in a new direction.”

Electrical Safety (Air Conditioners)
Pickering Fire Services reminds you to install air conditioners
and other heavy appliances directly into an outlet. Extension
cords should be used only as a temporary connection and
should never be linked together.If permanent wiring is
required, have additional outlets installed by a licensed
electrician. Check electrical cords for damage such as fraying
or nicks. A damaged cord can expose wires and result in a
potential shock or fire hazard.Ensure all outlets near water
are ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive insect that attacks
and kills only ash trees, has recently been detected in west
Pickering.
Large ash trees on private property are at risk.To mitigate the
infestation, all Pickering homeowners who have ash trees are
advised to look for signs of infestation such as “D”shaped exit
holes on the tree trunk; signs of woodpecker damage; and/or
thinning near the top or ‘c rown’of the tree.
If EAB is detected early enough, or if the ash tree appears
healthy,the tree may be treated with TreeAzin (a naturally
occurring bio insecticide), which has shown to be effective
in controlling EAB and keeping ash trees alive and healthy.If
a tree is heavily infested (more than a third of the crown has
died off ), the City recommends removal for safety reasons
and to prevent the continued EAB spread.
Residents with a heavily infected ash tree should contact
a certified arborist for proper removal.Trees that are taken
down can be burned in home woodstoves and fireplaces,
but cannot be taken as firewood to a cottage or campground
outside of a federally regulated area.

Mayor Dave Ryan is a great representative
for the City of Pickering, always present at
public events and very involved with draw-
ing business and investment to the area. In
the past year he has seen projects ranging
from the pedestrian bridge to the Pickering
Learning Centre and a new Siemens facil-
ity in south Pickering come to fruition. He is
also looking forward to future investments
after a relationship-building trip to China
earlier in the year.
While always respectful and knowledge-
able on the issues while speaking at coun-
cil, Mayor Ryan sometimes has difficulty
presiding over a divisive council and could
be more authoritative in enforcing process
and less lenient to indulgent councillors.
He doesn’t say much at the Region unless
it directly relates to a Pickering issue like
Seaton. When he does offer opinions,
they’re concise and well thought out.

Jennifer o’connell
Coun. Jennifer O’Connell is a strong voice for
her community, never hesitating to speak out
in any debate. She is always knowledgeable
about issues and contributes smart questions
and insights during council discussions. She is
quick to question staff on issues affecting her
ward or move motions to address residents’
concerns, which is reflected in her increased
grade this year. However, she can sometimes
be stubborn on issues, even after council has
voted against her, and can spend too much
time on one issue. She can also be combative
with fellow councillors, but has called for more
co-operation within council.
She is an active and enthusiastic voice at the
Region, often moving motions or diving into
debates. She isn’t afraid to speak up on contro-
versial issues, as was the case when she raised
concerns about plans to spend $270,000 to
send politicians on overseas networking trips.
Coun. Bill McLean is very active within the
community and at council meetings, par-
ticipating in almost every discussion. He is
always well-prepared and knowledgeable
about the issues being discussed and is not
afraid to speak out for the public good or to
question motions. While he often votes in a
block with Councillors O’Connell and Rodri-
gues, he doesn’t hesitate to vote the other
way according to how he feels about an issue,
which is why his grade has increased this year.
This willingness to break out of the 4-3 voting
block was evident during this year’s budget
debate when he voted against several amend-
ments from the councillors and in favour of
the budget.He is also attentive to provincial
and federal legislation and how it may affect
the municipality, making him a good repre-
sentative for his community.He is quiet at the
Region, only occasionally jumping into dis-
cussions at council or committee.
While his perfect attendance is impres-
sive, Coun. Peter Rodrigues often appears
ill-prepared for meetings, asking questions
answered in staff reports, spending long
periods of time on single topics or com-
ing to meetings with a list of questions on
issues that councillors have been invited
to discuss with staff beforehand, which has
resulted in a lower grade this year. He will
often request recorded votes on inconse-
quential issues such as the approval of past
meeting minutes and almost always votes
in a block with Councillors McLean and
O’Connell. He is well-liked by constituents
and involved in his community, express-
ing his opposition to a Pickering airport
and showing support for heritage preser-
vation in north Pickering.He is becoming
more active in debates at the Region, but
tends to get off topic easily. His attendance
at the Region is near perfect.

Coun. Doug Dickerson is a popular face
in the community and is well-prepared for
council meetings, displaying knowledge of
issues discussed. However, he often expresses
frustration at other councillors, speaking out
of turn and sometimes making disparaging
or demeaning remarks about fellow council-
lors. His behaviour only serves to worsen the
existing split among councillors, which often
results in 4-3 votes.
Coun. Dickerson’s campaign finance trou-
bles also cannot be ignored. A compliance
audit completed earlier this year found that
the councillor had exceeded his spending
limit during the 2010 campaign and also
claimed expenses that were unrelated to the
campaign, including nearly $15,000 for alco-
hol that wasn’t used for the campaign. Coun.
Dickerson’s argument that the Municipal
Elections Act is vague and confusing may
indeed be valid, but after 13 elections and
more than 35 years in municipal politics, he
should be well-versed in the legislation. His
behaviour, along with the audit findings, have
resulted in a lower grade this year.
Although quiet at meetings, Coun. Kevin
Ashe never hesitates to speak when he has
something to add to the debate or to gain
clarity on issues. He is quick to put forward
motions to address issues within his ward
and has proven adept at balancing neigh-
bourhood needs with the overall good of
the city, which has resulted in a higher
grade this year. This was evidenced recent-
ly when he voted in favour of a controver-
sial development proposal recommended
for approval by staff but rejected by council.
The proposal is now heading to the Ontario
Municipal Board.
Coun. Ashe is quick to speak out about
the divisive nature of council and the need
for councillors to better work together. He
is one of the most common swing voters to
break out of the 4-3 voting pattern. It would
be nice to see him speak up more at meet-
ings as he adds a knowledgeable and level-
headed voice to proceedings.

Coun. David Pickles is quick to get
involved on issues that affect his ward
as well as the city as a whole. When resi-
dents came forward with repeated con-
cerns regarding traffic in the Major Oaks
Road and Dellbrook Avenue area he put
forward a motion to council with sugges-
tions on how to address issues of speed-
ing, which resulted in new stop signs
being installed. He also put forward a
successful but contentious motion to
ban shark fins after nearby cities includ-
ing Toronto and Mississauga moved to
enact bans.
While he often votes with fellow coun-
cillors Kevin Ashe and Doug Dicker-
son and Mayor Dave Ryan, he will still
break away to vote in support of his com-
munity, as he did during a recent vote
to extend City leases on homes slated
for demolition on the Pickering federal
lands.

A Senior Star is born
PICkERIng -- holly hosta was among durham seniors competing June 21 in the finals of the Senior Star
event at the Pickering Town Centre.

SportsSports Olympic Watch
It’s official:
Chapman
heading back
to Olympics
BRIAN MCNAIR
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- It’s official: Candace Chapman is
going back to the Olympics.
Although it came as little surprise, the
veteran defender from Ajax was officially
named Monday to the 18-player roster for
the Canadian women’s soccer team that
will vie for a medal at the 2012 Summer
Olympics in London.
Canada actually earned its berth in Janu-
ary by reaching the final of the CONCACAF
qualification tournament in Vancouver, but
there were still cuts and other changes to
be made from the team that played there.
Chapman, a key 29-year-old defender,
was a virtual lock to make the team given
that she also played at the 2008 Beijing
Olympics, is in the prime of her career and
is the fifth most experienced player on the
team with 108 caps.
“Candace is a senior player. She’s been
around for a long time and I think just hav-
ing her experience, knowledge and that on-
the-field and off-the-field presence where
she’s quite a calming influence,” said head
coach John Herdman, explaining Chap-
man’s importance to the team during a
conference call.
“She’s certainly bought into, even as a
senior player, trying to evolve her game
and take herself to the next level. She’s just
one of those players that the team loves.
She just has a fantastic manner about her,
doesn’t get overly stressed,” he added. “I
think one girl called her that rock that we
typically look towards.”
There were five other players from
Ontario who made the team: Jonelle Fili-
gno, Robyn Gayle and Carmelina Mosca-
to, all from Mississauga, Oakville’s Diana
Matheson and Ancaster’s Melissa Tancre-
di.
Burlington’s Melanie Booth was not on
the active roster, but will be an alternate.
“Remaining with the team as travel alter-
nate all throughout Olympics,” Booth said
via Twitter. “Gutted, but proud to be a part
of this team in any way possible.”
The Canadians will play the United States,
the top-ranked team in the world, in a pre-
Olympic tune-up June 30 in Utah. Canada
was trounced 4-0 by the Americans in the
CONCACAF final.
Canada, ranked seventh, is in a tough
group at the Olympics with Japan (third),
Sweden (fourth) and South Africa (61st).
The Canadians will open the tournament
against Japan on July 25, two days before
the official opening of the Games, then
play South Africa on July 28 and Sweden on
July 31.
Pickering High
School coach
off to London for
Olympic Games
AJAX -- Stan Tzogas has pretty much
done it all as a wrestling coach, guid-
ing athletes to provincial and national
championships and such prestigious
international meets as the Worlds and
Junior Worlds, as well as Pan American
and Commonwealth Games.
But there’s been one glaring omission
-- at least until now.
Tzogas, a 49-year-old teacher at
Pickering High School and head coach
of the Team Impact Wrestling Club, will
head to London this summer to coach at
his first Olympic Games.
He’ll go there as an assistant to Dave
McKay and could end up working with
all nine members of Canada’s freestyle
team, but he’ll have a good handle on
one in particular: Impact’s own Khetag
Pliev.
“I’ve been very lucky, I’ve coached a lot
of really good athletes from this area and
a lot of them have had really good poten-
tial, but unfortunately none of them have
actually made it to that Olympic level,”
says Tzogas, who has been involved with
the Impact club and high school pro-
grams for 22 years.
“It’s very hard to get to this level. We
don’t live in a society that actually makes
it really easy for people to get there.”
That has certainly been the case for
Pliev, who lives in Toronto and trains
out of Impact’s Broadview and Dan-
forth location (the club also trains out
of Pickering and Ajax high schools), but
like so many amateur athletes, has strug-
gled to make ends meet.
Pliev moved from his native Russia
to Ohio in 1997, had a stellar wrestling
career at a Cincinnati high school, and
went to a junior college in San Francisco
before the Sept. 11 attacks of 2001 made
it hard for him to travel to meets with his
Russian papers.
He returned to Russia and competed
there for a time, but stayed in Canada
after a Vancouver competition in 2005
and moved to Toronto that year.
Pliev won four straight national cham-
pionships beginning in 2008, but found
himself drinking and homeless for a
stretch before finding religion and turn-
ing his life around.
The 28 year old won bronze at the Pan
American qualification tournament to
earn his Olympic berth.
“I knew he had the potential, but when
I first met him about six years ago, he
was in the process of getting knee recon-
struction surgery, so he didn’t practice
much, and then he started coming out
after that and it was a bit of an adjust-
ment period,” Tzogas recalls. “He was
trying to figure out how he was going to
live and how he was going to survive and
still try and be a full-time athlete. It was
kind of difficult for him at first.”
Fortunately for Pliev, he has found a
strong support group at the Impact club,
including coach Kimin Kim, who took
him into his home for a time, and helped
him become a Canadian citizen and
soon after a federally-funded athlete.
It was Kim who accompanied Pliev to
the Pan-Am Games, too, but it’s been
Tzogas attending most of the qualifica-
tion meets and others, including the past
few world championships.
The trouble for Tzogas, who coaches so
many other athletes, is that he often has
to take unpaid days off from his teaching
job to attend meets. Earlier this year, that
meant missing days for four consecutive
weeks while taking athletes to such com-
petitions as the OFSAA high school pro-
vincials, junior and senior nationals, and
an Olympic qualifier.
“But you know what? It’s only money.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime,” rea-
sons Tzogas, who says he could not do
it without the support of his school and
even more so his wife, Sally.
Tzogas says all four Canadian women
have a chance at a medal in London,
including 2008 gold medalist Carol
Huynh and silver medalist Tonya Ver-
beek.
As for Pliev, he’s in a group of 19 in the
96-kilogram weight class, including five
past world champions. Depending on
the luck of the draw, he will need to win
two or three matches to reach the semi-
finals and thus have a shot at a medal on
Aug. 12, the final day of the Olympics.
“I think a medal is a possibility for any-
body,” says Tzogas. “That’s the thing
about sports, anything can happen.”

Rock record first
win of season
An 8-0 second
period run produces
13-6 victory
AJAX -- You could see this one coming.
After a few close calls of late, including
a pair of one-goal losses, the Ajax Rock
finally got into the win column in Major
Series Lacrosse, coming at the expense of
the Brooklin Redmen. A dominating sec-
ond period in which the Rock scored eight
unanswered goals turned a 3-2 first-period
deficit into a 10-3 lead, as they racked up
a 13-6 victory on Friday night at the Ajax
Community Centre.
The win for the Rock stopped a seven-
game losing streak to start the season,
improving to 1-7-0, while the Redmen had
their three-game winning streak snapped,
falling to 3-2-0.
“They did everything you could ask and
then more,” said Rock GM/head coach
Clem D’Orazio of his club. He added that
despite losing seven in a row, a recent one-
goal loss to Brampton provided some opti-
mism for the second half of the season.
“That Brampton game where we lost by a
goal, it was depressing but at the same time
it showed we are progressing as a team,
building on our strong points and learning
what we need to do. (We) put it all together
and we were finally able to get into the win
column.”
Understandably, Redmen GM/head
coach Wayne Colley was disappointed,
as no team wants the distinction of giving
another team its first win of the season. It
was a young lineup on the floor, he said, as
the club was without seven regulars.
“We had a lot of inexperienced call-ups
in our lineup and it cost us dearly,” said
Colley. “We played the worst ever since I’ve
been there. (Ajax) played very well. I can’t
take anything away from them.
“I’ve said this before, anyone can beat
anyone in the league.”
The Redmen actually led 3-2 after the first
period after Josh Ruys, Shawn Williams and
Jeff Gilbert scored in succession to erase a
2-0 lead by the Rock on early goals by Kyle
Davis and Aaron Brown.
But the second period was all Rock with
eight unanswered, including a hat trick
each by Jesse Guerin and Travis Bland. The
three goals were part of a 10-point night for
Guerin who had one more goal and added
six assists. He leads the league in scoring
with 17-22-39 point totals in eight games.
“The thing that sets aside good players
in the league is consistency and Jesse has
been consistent every night for us,” said
D’Orazio.
Brock Boyle (2), John Quarrie and Jus-
tin Gibson also scored for the Rock. Kyle
O’Brien with a pair and Derek Hopcroft
had third period goals for the Redmen.
The teams are right back at it again
tonight, this time at the Iroquois Park
Sports Centre at 8 p.m.
Colley expects to have a full team on the
floor, noting that, “We have a young team.
We’re just learning as we go that you have
to play the whole game. You can’t just play
two periods.”
D’Orazio will be looking for his team to
build on its momentum.
“I’m hoping that our maturity starts to
show and we do it again because consis-
tency is going to be our best friend or our
worst enemy. If we can play consistent and
keep going at them, I think we’ll find suc-
cess. I know (Brooklin) will be hungry for
revenge, so we have to weather the storm
and attack them the same way we did Fri-
day.”

Ironheads in
a big hole
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Heading into the playoffs, the Ajax Ironheads
knew that knocking off the top-seeded Akwesasne
Indians was going to be a daunting task.
Turns out the perception has been bang on, but it
didn’t prevent them from putting forth the type of
effort to make the favourites earn it. After opening
the best-of-five Eastern Conference quarter-final with
a 22-3 loss on Saturday, the Ironheads actually led
Game 2 the following day after the first period, and
were just one second away from taking a lead into the
third when things went awry. Akwesasne scored the
opening four goals in the third, turning a 6-6 tie into a
10-6 lead en route to a 12-8 victory.
“The first game they dominated us. The second
game we made a few adjustments and played with
a little more confidence and played a lot better,” said
head coach Ron Reed in summing up the weekend.
The losses in Akwesasne put the Ironheads down
2-0 and on the brink of elimination as the series shifts
back to Ajax for games three through five, as need-
ed. Game 3 will be Friday at 8 p.m., with the final two
games, if necessary, Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. at
the Ajax Community Centre.
In the series opener Saturday, it was over midway
through the first period, as Akwesasne had four goals,
which was one more than the three the Ironheads got
on the night. It was 9-1 after the first period and 17-2
after the second. Steve Douitsis, James Malloy and
Shane Takahashi scored for the Ironheads.
Sunday afternoon was much different, as the Iron-
heads led 3-2 after the first period, and were up 6-5 in
the second before Akwesasne tied it with just one sec-
ond left. Akwesasne rolled from there, outscoring the
Ironheads 6-2 in the third period.
Reed wasn’t pleased with the refereeing in the
game, in particular a bench minor his team received
when the game was tied 4-4, which allowed Akwe-
sasne to score on the power play.
“I’m not usually a whiner about that, but our guys
were receiving slashes, hits to the back and the ref-
erees down there didn’t see it,” he said. “In fact, the
referees gave us a bench minor when it was 4-4. You
don’t do that in a 4-4 playoff game. You come over
and caution the bench and say enough is enough.”
Adam Kelusky led the offence with five points on
two goals and three assists, while Takahashi had two
goals and two assists. Patrick Morgan also had a pair
of goals, with one each to Malloy and Douitsis.
To prolong the series beyond a three-game sweep,
Reed said his team will have to play tough defence,
move on offence and get some shots from the inside.
“I don’t think anybody wants this to be over,” he
added. “We all want to be competitive. We’re all com-
petitive by nature.
“All we ask them to do is compete. Give us 100-per
cent effort. Everyone has to compete. If you’re not
willing to compete then don’t put on the uniform.
Give us everything you have and we’ll see how it plays
out.”
