It has gone by pretty quickly,
that’s for sure,” Dr. Stas said,
recalling his first shift in the
hospital’s emergency room on
June 1, 1972.
“The hospital was just a basic
four-storey building then. The
ER was a four-room unit and all
you had was an X-ray machine,
that’s it.”
That was still a step up for Dr.
Stas, who recalls practising with
even less in Beaverton before
coming to Ajax.
“You just had a big black bag
you carried around with you
with all the medications you
might need, there was no CAT
scans or anything,” he recalls.
“You had to use your clinical
judgment and make decisions
on that alone.”
Things are different now at
the hospital, which has expand-
ed in both size and technolo-
gy, including a new ER in 1976,
a new wing in 1994 and more
recent changes such as the
addition of a new cafe, ambula-
tory care unit, complex continu-
ing care unit and the new MRI,
which arrived in September
2011.
“We’ve really improved our
technology and increased our
staff,” Dr. Stas said.
“We want to make sure patients
can access the best health care
possible,” he said.
“That’s been the premise I’ve
followed and that’s why I’ve
tried to get involved at the hos-
pital.”
Some of Dr. Stas’s favourite
moments over his long career
include the opening of the hos-
pital’s redevelopment and the
arrival of the new MRI.
“The redevelopment was
something we’d been work-
ing for for many years so it was
really nice to see it come to frui-
tion,” he explained.
“And the MRI was a phenom-
enal accomplishment with the
community raising $5 million in
just a year.”
Indeed, support from the com-
munity is one of the things he
loves about the area.
“The community’s always
meant a lot to me,” Dr. Stas said.
“I really enjoy the hospital,
and the staff’s just phenomenal.
Every day is exciting.”
Although another 40 years is
probably a long-shot, Dr. Stas
said he has no plans to retire as
of now.
“I still have goals and things I
want to achieve for the hospital
and the community. I haven’t
quite finished with everything, I
plan to be around at least anoth-
er five or 10 years.”

Rouge Valley
president talks
health care
cuts
PICKERING -- The Rouge Val-
ley Ajax and Pickering Hospital
will be joining hospitals across
Ontario in instituting big chang-
es as part of Ontario’s Action
Plan for health care.
The Action Plan, released
in February, includes fund-
ing changes that will see up to
70 per cent of annual funding
to hospitals become variable
based on the number of patients
served, with higher-performing
facilities rewarded with more
funding. That constitutes a big
change from the current model,
under which more than 90 per
cent of annual funding is fixed.
“It probably represents the
greatest change to the health
care system since medicare,
and what it means is that hospi-
tals will not be the centre of the
health care universe anymore,”
said Rik Ganderton, president
and CEO of Rouge Valley Health
System, during a presentation to
Pickering council on July 9.
“The old paradigm had every-
thing built around the hospital,
with hospitals becoming more
and more diverse in terms of
services offered. The aim here is
to transform that to the patient
being at the centre and hospitals
being one part of an integrated
health care system.”
Mr. Ganderton listed several
changes that could come out of
the Action Plan, including ser-
vices being transferred out of
hospitals to other community
facilities, including publicly-
funded, privately-run clinics.
“We need to focus on what
patients need and where best
to provide it; it’s highly like-
ly services currently offered in
hospitals will not be offered
in the future,” Mr. Ganderton
explained.
“It will be a big adjustment for
hospitals themselves, the work-
force represented in those hos-
pitals and for the communities
we serve. I think we will see a
greater shift out of hospitals to
not-for-profit community ser-
vice clinics or other facilities
since hospitals are rather expen-
sive places to deliver services.”
Mr. Ganderton also predicted
other changes, including merg-
ers, would be on the table as hos-
pitals across the province strug-
gle to adjust to the new funding
and emphasized that open dia-
logue with the public should be
a key factor going forward.
“This really is a very dramatic
change and I think it’s impor-
tant that council, as community
representatives, we as deliverers
of services and the communi-
ty start to become familiar with
what the Action Plan is saying,”
he said.
“I think it’s safe to say staff,
services and doctors will move
and community relations will
become an issue, so communi-
cation is key here.”

Action Plan and how it will affect

PICKERING -- Rik Ganderton, president and CEO of Rouge Valley
Health System, spoke to council about the effects of Ontario’s
Action Plan on Health Care, which will likely see services trans-
ferred out of hospitals to community facilities.
Region
must pay
$500,000
legal costs
DURHAM -- Durham resi-
dents whose health infor-
mation went missing on
a lost USB key will have to
prove they were financially
harmed to get compensa-
tion.
Justice Peter Lauwers has
approved a settlement agree-
ment in a class action law-
suit launched after 83,524
people’s data was lost by a
Region of Durham employ-
ee in December 2009.
While many affected resi-
dents had hoped to receive
a lump sum payment, the
agreement requires class
members to file individual
claims that prove they suf-
fered economic harm as a
direct result of the incident.
The Region then has a
chance to try to mitigate the
harm.
If a person is still unsatis-
fied they can take a shot at
monetary compensation,
which the agreement says
will be based on “common
law principles.”
Sean Brown, one of the
lawyers representing the
class action, says he is “con-
tent” with the resolution and
has only heard from a hand-
ful of class members who
aren’t.
Of the roughly 79,000 peo-
ple who didn’t opt out of the
lawsuit, lawyers got feed-
back from about 500.
Only about 20 of those
voiced an objection before
the July 3 settlement hear-
ing.
“That’s an extremely small
minority of people that have
any real problems with the
settlement process,” Mr.
Brown said. “Everyone else,
whether their silence means
they’re content with it or not,
is difficult to say.”
Lawyers representing the
Region could not immedi-
ately be reached for com-
ment.
In his decision Justice Lau-
wers calls the agreement
“fair and reasonable” and
says it’s the best outcome
the class can hope to accom-
plish given that “ongoing
risks to the members of the
class appear to be negligi-
ble.”
The information on the
USB key was collected from
residents who received an
H1N1 flu shot at health
department clinics between
Oct. 1 and Dec. 16, 2009. Data
included name, address,
phone number, date of birth,
health card number and the
name and address of each
patient’s family doctor.
The USB key was lost by a
nurse in the Region of Dur-
ham headquarters parking
lot on Dec. 16, 2009.
In his decision Justice Lau-
wers cites evidence from
fraud experts who said
the data on the key likely
wouldn’t be enough to com-
mit identity theft.
“Over the course of this
action, anxiety about the
abuse of private information
has given way to the realiza-
tion that it is now probable
that no one has the miss-
ing USB key,” the judge says.
“This inference comes from
the fact that no class mem-
ber has claimed the infor-
mation on the key has been
used to financially damage
his or her interests.”
Justice Lauwers goes on
to say the case would “look
far different” if the miss-
ing health information had
been abused.
Still, more than a dozen
local residents vented their
anxiety at the July 3 settle-
ment hearing in Oshawa.
Some even cited incidents
of fraud and suggested there
might be links to the lost
USB key.
“I got call from RBC saying
I have overdrawn account, I
don’t even deal with RBC,”
said Tom Cole, who said he
has also had difficulty cross-
ing the border due to identi-
ty theft issues.
The settlement agreement
requires the Region to pay
class counsel $500,000 to
cover the cost of roughly 900
hours spent working on the
file since January 2010.
The firm of Flaherty Dow
Elliott and McCarthy is rep-
resenting the class -- if the
names sound familiar it’s
because the firm is con-
nected to Whitby-Oshawa
MP Jim Flaherty and his wife
Whitby-Oshawa MPP Chris-
tine Elliott.
In past interviews lawyers
at the firm have declined
to comment on the con-
nection between the local
MP and MPP and the law-
suit. The Region is also
on the hook for any awards
to class members -- 25 per
cent of each award will go to
the class lawyers.
Region staff said those
amounts will all be covered
by insurance, which will
have an impact on premi-
ums -- and possibly future
budgets.
Staff said there is no way to
forecast how much premi-
ums could go up.
Class members have until
Aug. 2, 2016 to submit a
claim for compensation.

Appalled by Ajax
demonstrators
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham seniors take to the streets to
fight elder abuse’, news, durharegion.com,
June 19, 2012.
I have worked 24 years in a long-term
care facility in Ajax.
The nursing home I work in has an
excellent reputation and does not tolerate
elderly abuse.
We have a strict policy on this. So I was
appalled and upset to see demonstrators
with signs outside our nursing home giv-
ing the public the impression we were
guilty of elder abuse.
I do not think they have the right to do
this, especially if they have no proof or
facts and to assume we are at fault in this.
I’m all for demonstrating for a good
cause, but not to be pointing fingers at
innocent facilities.

Coming full circle
on plastic bags
To the editor:
Re: ‘It’s time for Durham to ban plastic
bags at stores’, letter to the editor, durham-
region.com, June 11, 2012.
The ban on plastic bags is welcomed
and interesting.
I worked for Dominion’s head office
store in the 1970s when plastic bags were
pushed onto the public.
The head office store was the testing
ground for bagging innovation. I recall
having to test pop-up cardboard boxes
that tended to jam.
When the option came for plastic bags,
few customers took the plastic.
In those days we all had a ‘step-on’ gar-
bage can in the kitchen, lined with our
grocery store paper bags.
The bags sat square on the carry-out
wagon (do you remember getting a ‘carry
out’?), while the plastic bags tended to
change shape.
Since the public would not willingly
comply with the desired changeover we
were instructed not to ask for their choice
and to use plastic, only using paper upon
request.
Eventually paper was simply withheld.
Paper bags at that time were two cents
each; plastic was a small fraction of that
cost. The landfills have broken down
those paper bags by now; will the plastic
ever leave our earth?
This is a wonderful change back. Now I’d
like to have my milk back in glass bottles,
please.

Innocent until
proven guilty
To the editor:
Re: Convicting police officers in the
media.
I would like to remind your readers about
the presumption of innocence afforded to
everyone in Canada, including police offi-
cers.
As in other professions, I concede there
are some bad police officers; there are
also police officers who are innocent of
the charges they face.
The police are clearly held to a higher
standard than the public as is displayed by
‘media releases’ being issued and media
outlets running the stories of police offi-
cers charged with various offences.
An ordinary citizen charged with theft or
impaired driving would not be subjected
to a media report yet a police officer is.
No one would know Detective Paul Car-
gill of Toronto Police was arrested for
impaired driving if he wasn’t a police offi-
cer.
Let’s remember that police officers are
innocent until proven guilty. The media
will never know all the facts unless they
cover the trial.
Something to think about.

Lawyers the only winners in Durham USB class action
The three-year legal odyssey over a lost
USB key containing the health informa-
tion of thousands of Durham residents
resulted in much ado about nothing this
week.
In the end, the only beneficiaries of the
case appear to be Flaherty Dow Elliott and
McCarthy, the firm handling the lawsuit,
which will receive $500,000 to cover costs
associated with approximately 900 hours
spent working on the file, and an addi-
tional 25 per cent of any future awards
that might result as a consequence.
But it appears that will be unlikely in
any case, since each and every one of the
79,000 residents who didn’t opt out of
the class action suit must prove harm as
a result of their private personal informa-
tion being lost in a parking lot in 2009 if
they are to be compensated in any way.
There is something wrong with this pic-
ture. Here we have a lawsuit in which tax-
payers effectively agreed to sue them-
selves, who end up with essentially noth-
ing in terms of compensation, while a
local law firm collects a half-million dol-
lars.
And that’s not all. Durham Region staff
indicate that insurance premiums are
expected to rise as a consequence of the
settlement and could have an impact on
future budgets.
Furthermore, legal correspondence over
the course of the lawsuit sent to residents
whose names were on the USB key dis-
cussing the loss of the health data and
details of the suit, only served to stoke
anxiety among the victims, leading many
to conclude they were in imminent dan-
ger of identity theft or fraud.
Imagine, then, the confusion, the cha-
grin some victims must have experienced
when the presiding judge this week con-
cluded the settlement agreement and
said, “...anxiety about the abuse of private
information has given way to the realiza-
tion that it is now probable that no one
has the missing USB key.”
The vast majority of residents -- certain-
ly those whose personal information was
contained on the lost USB key -- don’t
know the complexities of law, nor should
they. All they know is that they received
official correspondence on more than one
occasion over the last three years about a
class action lawsuit and concluded that
there was potential for harm.
To learn now, despite the implication
they were potentially harmed by the loss,
that it likely all amounts to little more than
a future tax increase, is deeply disappoint-
ing and disturbing.
It appears that the only ‘winners’ in this
case are the lawyers.

DURHAM -- The Pink Tour wants
Durham Region residents to get
on board for breast health.
The Canadian Breast Cancer
Foundation’s big pink bus will
visit Ajax and Pickering Wednes-
day, July 18 to bring residents facts
about breast cancer screening.
“Research shows that regular
breast screening can save lives,”
said Sandra Palmaro, CEO of the
Canadian Breast Cancer Founda-
tion Ontario. “Since 1986, breast
cancer mortality rates in Cana-
da have declined by almost 40
per cent as a result of increased
mammography screening and
improved treatments. Even though
we know that finding breast can-
cer sooner means a greater range
of treatment options and a bet-
ter chance of survival, only 67
per cent of eligible women were
screened in 2010.”
Aboard the big pink bus, resi-
dents can learn about breast can-
cer and breast health through
interactive tools, and eligible
women can register for a mam-
mogram by joining Cancer Care
Ontario’s Ontario Breast Screen-
ing Program. People can also
pledge their support for breast
cancer screening by signing the
bus.
The six-month-long education
program is supported by CIBC
and Shoppers Drug Mart.
The tour will stop at CIBC in
Ajax, 15 Westney Rd. N., from 9:30
to 11:30 a.m., before stopping at
CIBC in Pickering, 376 Kingston
Rd., from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The
bus will make a final stop at Shop-
pers Drug Mart in Pickering, 1105
Kingston Rd. from 2:30 to 4 p.m.
More than 160,000 people have
visited the tour since it began
May 23. Final dates and locations
for August and October have not
been announced. To learn more
about The Pink Tour or to check
dates and locations, visit www.
cbcf.org, or follow the tour’s jour-
ney through Facebook at www.

A message from
Durham Tourism
Kerri King
It’s mid-July, there is lots of sunshine
and it’s a great time of year to be outside.
Summer is a great time to roll up your
sleeves at a farm and take home some
fresh, local produce -- picked by “U.”
“U-pick” farms are abundant in Dur-
ham Region.
Heading to the farm to pick some
fresh, local produce has many advantag-
es. Firstly and most importantly, you’re
getting the food at its freshest. Second,
picking your own produce is a wonder-
ful educational experience for people of
all ages to see where their food comes
from. Finally, it’s a great way to get out-
side, get some fresh air and a bit of exer-
cise too.
In Clarington, head to Pingle’s Farm
Market to pick your own strawberries
and raspberries. While you’re there, try
a freshly baked apple pie and pick up
some other local produce in the market.
Watson’s Farms, also in Clarington,
offers “U-pick” strawberries, raspber-
ries, peas, beans and rhubarb. You’ll
also enjoy other free activities like the
tractor-and-wagon ride, straw jump and
petting zoo.
In Scugog, at Willowtree Farm, you
can pick peas, beans and berries. While
you’re there, stop into the market to pick
up some natural beef, fresh home-baked
goods, local garlic, delicious preserves
and many other fresh, in-season fruits
and vegetables grown on the farm.
Cooper’s Farm in Uxbridge offers pick-
your-own fruit as well as a slew of chil-
dren’s activities on the farm including
swings, mazes and bowling. Plus you can
stop by Cooper’s brand-new on-farm
kitchen to taste some great meals pre-
pared using fresh-from-the-farm ingre-
dients.
Also in Uxbridge is Brooks Farms,
which prides itself on making visiting
the farm a fun experience for people of
all ages. After hitting the field to pick
your own gooseberries, red and black
currants, raspberries and peas, head to
the barnyard play land to enjoy 10 acres
of family activities including train rides,
a jumping pillow, zip lines, farm ani-
mals, playhouses and more.
Linton’s Farm Market in Oshawa is also
currently offering a variety of “U-pick”
fruits and vegetables. The kids will love
Linton’s play area, which even features
rubber duck races.
Hours of operation and maps to these
farms can be found online at www.dur-
hamfarmfresh.ca. Don’t forget to wear
sunscreen and drink lots of water dur-
ing hot days in the fields. Bring your
own containers to even further reduce
your environmental footprint. Have fun
on the farm and remember to thank our
farmers for growing it.
For more information about Durham’s
local food, visit www.durhamtourism.ca
and www.durhamfarmfresh.ca and fol-
low @DurhamTourism on Twitter.
Kerri King is manager of Durham Tourism.

SUMMER HoME
Lawn & GaRdEn
With the warm summer heat upon us,
homeowners tend to repeatedly change their
thermostats in order to keep their homes
cool. What they don't realize is that by
constantly changing the thermostat, they are
also destabilizing the temperature of their
home, which can lead to higher energy bills.
And that is not… cool.
“It's easy to overuse your thermostat and
rack up your electricity bill because of your
air conditioner,” says Dave Walton, director
of home ideas for Direct Energy. “Installing
a programmable thermostat is one of the
simplest ways to control your energy usage.
By raising the thermostat's temperature
by five degrees Celsius at night and, if no
one is home during the weekday, use the
same approach for daytime hours too.
Homeowners could save as much as 10 per
cent on their energy bill.
So remember, once you've programmed
your thermostat let it do its job so you don't
end up with an outrageous summer cooling
bill. Just set it and forget it.
With the extreme heat, here are a few other
easy ways to keep cool without receiving
high energy bills:
Reduce the number of hours your air
conditioner is on each day by 30 per cent,
and you could save as much as $111 over the
summer.
Keep track of the age and efficiency of your
air conditioner – central air conditioning
units that meet 13 SEER (seasonal energy
efficiency ratio) requirements – will deliver
as much as 28 per cent more efficiency
when compared to an older 10 SEER model.
Close doors and windows to keep your cold
air in and warm air out. Keeping drapes and
blinds closed on sunny days can also save on
electricity costs.
More information on energy efficiency is
available online at www.directenergy.com or
toll-free at 1-888-334-8221.

Tips for open house etiquette
Is an open house still necessary when selling a home? Ron Abraham, president of the
Ontario Real Estate Association, believes it is. “They're still a valuable selling tool because a
casual visitor may end up offering for the property,” says Abraham.
If you do attend an open house, Abraham suggests everyone should follow these etiquette
tips:
• Be polite: Remove shoes, don't consume food unless offered and never use the washroom
during an open house.
• Honesty is the best policy: Sign in with your real contact details and if the seller's Realtor
asks, let them know if you are working with a Realtor.
• No spying: Look in closets, drawers and cupboards, but don't snoop. Ask before taking
pictures or videos.
• Ask questions: An open house is a great opportunity to learn more about the property and
the neighbourhood, so take advantage.

PICKERING -- It's time for some mur-
derous fun at Pickering Museum Vil-
lage.
Backwoods Players presents Whodun-
it? Murder Under the Big Top, an inter-
active murder mystery, July 14, 15, 21
and 22.
The play, a fundraiser for the Pickering
Museum Village Foundation, features
cast members from across Durham and
takes place at the Museum Village in
north Pickering.
Director Michael Khashmanian
explains that the play is set during the
Great Depression, in 1933, and as a
train carrying circus performers rolls
through small-town Saskatchewan, two
of the cars get separated from the rest.
A reporter covering the circus is mur-
dered.
Khashmanian says apart from figuring
out who the killer is, there's a subplot
concerning "something that happened
the last time the circus was in town.
"There's an old dark secret and a new
mystery to solve," he says.
"This is one of the best casts I've ever
worked with," says the Whitby play-
wright and Durham Theatre Festival
founder.
"I've worked with a lot of casts and this
one is phenomenal."
Whodunit? Murder Under the Big Top
features Ajax's Alyssa Carbonaro, Whit-
by's Peter Hazlett, Julie Oakes, Darryl
Peters and Jeff Skelton, Oshawa's John
Edmonds, Courtice's Gary Fertile and
Torontonians Julie Adams and Saman-
tha Williams.
The show starts at 5:30 p.m. and the
doors open at 5 p.m.
Tickets are $50 each for dinner and
the show. July 22 is a show only day and
tickets are $25.

Smiles at 905-683-8401.

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 or visit the website at

APDurham Improv has found a new home
Opening night
Saturday
in Oshawa
DURHAM -- Stephanie Herrera
has been on a roll lately.
The Durham Improv founder
this year received the Business for
the Arts Award from the Scugog
Council for the Arts and the Busi-
ness of the Year Award from the
Durham Home and Small Busi-
ness Association.
But Herrera isn't resting on her
laurels.
The Caesarea resident Satur-
day opens Durham's newest arts
venue, a 50- to 75-seat black box
theatre in the Boundary Road
industrial plaza at Wentworth
Street and Boundary Road on the
Oshawa/Whitby border.
Black box theatres became pop-
ular in the 1960s and 70s, simple
spaces with black walls where
the focus is on what's happening
on stage as opposed to the venue
itself.
"It's like a blank canvas for what-
ever you want to do," Herrera
says.
She notes there are some beau-
tiful theatres in Durham available
for rent, but that many are in the
300-seat range, a bit large for her
purposes.
Herrera in recent years has
staged dinner theatre shows in
Oshawa and Port Perry and has
rented spaces such as Class Act
Dinner Theatre in Whitby for
workshops. Now, she says improv
shows and workshops will take
place at the new theatre, noting
she plans to add more classes for
kids. One drawback is that the
theatre is on the second floor, up a
fairly long flight of stairs, not ideal
for special needs classes.
Sinking roots in Oshawa doesn't
mean she will no longer be stag-
ing in her adopted town.
"I love doing the dinner theatre
up at The Jester's Court," she says,
noting she will also be doing her
Scrooged Again interactive dinner
theatre show in Scugog.
Back in Oshawa, she has big
plans for opening night at the
black box theatre.
"It's going to be a straight improv
show," Herrera says. "It's hors
d'oeuvres, champagne when you
walk in. The first 50 people get
swag bags and immortalized by
caricature artist Rob Westall."
Many of the improv perform-
ers, she notes, live in Oshawa and
Pickering, with others scattered in
places such as Ajax and Uxbridge.
She says there will also be a cash
bar and draws for prizes.
Tickets are $40, with a portion of
the proceeds going to Community
Living. The show starts at 7 p.m.
Tickets are available at dur-
hamimprov.com. The theatre is at
1115 Wentworth St. W., Unit C4.
Herrera notes that with a per-
manent venue, it'll be easier to
draw in professional performers.
And taking her shows on the road,
as it were, in venues not meant to
be theatres, often raised lighting
and sound issues which drove her
crazy.
An instructor at Durham and
Fleming colleges, Herrera was
trained through Second City in
Toronto and cut her teeth at The
Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto.
"It's like they say, you know
when you've found the right job
when you would do it for free,"

Martha Brown:
Pickering artist at
the point of transition
Pickering artist Martha Brown has estab-
lished a highly successful and award-win-
ning career as a wall-hanging artist and
art doll maker that spans several decades.
But she recently hit a crisis point in her
creative life, knowing she needs to move
on to some other quite different mode
of artistic expression. This was sparked,
in part, because of some issues with her
vision that make the very detailed needle-
work and finishing that fabric art requires
just too difficult. But she also feels that
she has said all she can say in the genres
of fabric wall hangings and one-off art
dolls.
A recent chance offer by Ajax oil paint-
er Albert Slark of setting up figure-draw-
ing sessions for her and others piqued her
interest -- and hearkened her back to the
roots of her art, when she majored in fig-
ure drawing as part of her fine art degree
program in her native Tennessee. And she
enthusiastically joined him in a drawing
session at SilverStone Gallery, where she
is a member, and now plans on taking oil
painting lessons and creating canvases
with figures in various settings and con-
figurations. She is “thrilled” at this new
direction that she has taken, but finds it
scary and challenging to simply throw
herself into such a new and daunting
artistic direction with new skills and tech-
niques to learn.
Born in Rochester, then living in vari-
ous other U.S. states, Brown had originally
worked in a dental lab for a dozen years,
then ran a picture-framing gallery for
another eight, before ending up in Califor-
nia and taking up the craft of quilting. She
ultimately found herself back in Rochester
and in 1998 met her (now) Canadian hus-
band online and moved to Pickering to be
with him. Brown found her stride as well,
first as a wall-hanging artist -- for which
she won a slew of national and interna-
tional awards in a variety of group exhibi-
tions -- and then adding the original doll-
making. Her house is chock-full of exqui-
site and masterful examples of her work.
But, now it’s on to new horizons and she
couldn’t be more excited.
Brown’s work and contact info can be
found at bluemoonfabrics.com.

Although Nikkita Holder’s grin was understandably the widest
of them all, she wasn’t the only hurdler smiling after the Toronto
International track-and-field meet.
Holder had so many reasons to be gleeful, of course, having just
won the meet’s feature race and looking forward to the coming
2012 Olympic Games in London, where she will not only compete
for the first time, but will do so alongside her fiance, Justyn War-
ner, Canada’s top sprinter.
But for Durham’s other two elite hurdlers, Perdita Felicien and
Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, the root of their happiness went far deep-
er, coming more from an inner peace of jobs well done and lives
well lived.
Felicien was the first big name in this country in the hurdles,
which is now by far Canada’s highest profile event in athletics.
At her best, she was THE best in the world, winning the 2003
outdoor title in Paris, the 2004 indoor crown in Budapest and sev-
eral other meets leading up to the 2004 Olympics. Unfortunately,
she will be remembered most for her slip-ups, most famously her
fall at the Athens Games and, more recently, her disqualification
at the Canadian Olympic trials.
She admits to having battled the demons of Athens for quite
some time, but long ago came to the realization she is defined by
much more than that. Among other things, she’s been a tremen-
dous role model and a big part of the reason Canada now boasts
such a strong field of female hurdlers.
“I told myself after the (Athens) Games that I would never allow
myself to feel totally demoralized over an event that is under 13
seconds long,” she said Wednesday. “It’s not fair. I have a life I’m
trying to live and to be proud of. It’s hard sometimes to put things
into perspective, but the truth of the matter is, it’s just a race.”
Lopes-Schliep, likewise, realizes the nature of her event opens
the door for the unforeseen, such as some good luck that helped
produce a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, and some bad
luck that saw her fall short at the Canadian trials in Calgary.
At the end of the day, though, she still
gets to go home to a beautiful fam-
ily, including daughter Nataliya,
whose birth some 10 months ago
was a big reason why so many
fans were cheering for her Olym-
pic return. That it won’t hap-
pen now doesn’t mean it won’t
happen four years down the road,
assures Lopes-Schliep, who turns 30
in August.
Felicien, who turns 32 three
days later, has ruled out
another Olympic appear-
ance, but nevertheless
looks ahead with her sig-
nature big, bright smile.
“There’s a new chap-
ter that’s about to unfold,”
she says. “I don’t know
what it is yet, but I’m
excited to take that on
too.”

TORONTO -- If there were any
doubts about Nikkita Holder’s
Olympic worthiness, they were put
to rest Wednesday night in down-
town Toronto.
The 25-year-old Pickering athlete
topped a deep field and won the
signature event, the 100-metre hur-
dles, before a near-capacity crowd
at the NTL’s Toronto International
Track and Field Games at Varsity
Stadium.
Holder, who grabbed the final
Olympic berth for the 2012 London
Games by finishing third in the hur-
dles at the national championships
in Calgary, was thrilled afterward,
especially given the company she
was keeping.
In addition to sharing the
moment with her fiance, sprinter
Justyn Warner, Holder vindicated
her inclusion on the Olympic team
by beating the likes of Priscilla
Lopes-Schliep, Perdita Felicien and
Angela Whyte, all of whom have
gone to the Olympics before, and
Phylicia George, who will accom-
pany her to London.
Afterward, her smile was not to
be removed during a big media
scrum.
“There are so many cameras ...
Wooooo,” she beamed, shortly
before being hugged and kissed by
Warner, who also won that night
and will be competing in London
in the 100-metre dash. “It feels
great (to be going to London with
Warner). It’ll be a good experience
and I’m glad I get to share it with
him.”
In earning her Olympic spot in
Calgary, Holder actually finished
fourth in a time of 12.80, but was
bumped to third because Felicien
was disqualified for a false start.
Jessica Zelinka (12.68) and George
(12.72) finished ahead of her there.
In Toronto Wednesday, Holder’s
time of 12.83 was good enough to
beat Whyte (12.90), George (12.95),
Lopes-Schliep (12.95) and Felicien
(12.97). Of the country’s Big 6, only
Zelinka wasn’t there.
Felicien, also of Pickering, while
disappointed at not qualifying for
her third Olympic Games, wished
nothing but the best for the young
Holder afterward.
“I think she’ll do fabulously in
London,” said Felicien, who turns
32 in August and has ruled out fur-
ther Olympics. “I think she’s ready
to strike and she’s really com-
ing into her own, and she’s from
Pickering, so you have to root for
the hometown girl. I think she’s
going to go to London and really
turn some heads.”
Lopes-Schliep, who turns 30 in
August and is 10 months removed
from giving berth to her first child,
said she just hasn’t been able to put
it all together at the right times this
season, but hasn’t ruled out com-
peting four years down the road in
Brazil.
The darling of the Beijing Games,
where her bronze was Canada’s
first medal in athletics in a dozen
years, Lopes-Schliep seemed com-
fortable enough being a fan this
time around, particularly of Holder,
a training partner.
“Not these Olympics for me, so
I’ll be at home and cheering on my
teammates,” she said.
Warner provided another of
the night’s many highlights, win-
ning the 100m sprint in a time of
10.15, an event that also featured
Pickering native and 2008 Olympi-
an Anson Henry, who finished fifth
in his final career race.
One more Pickering
Olympian named
OTTAWA -- Another Pickering athlete,
sprinter Kerri-Ann Mitchell, has been
added to the Canadian Olympic team
as one of five additional nominees from
Athletics Canada Thursday.
Mitchell was added after Markham’s
Phylicia George scratched out of the
100-metres in London to concentrate
on the 100-metre hurdles, opening a
spot for Mitchell to be named under Ath-
letics Canada’s Rising Star policy.
Daundre Barnaby of Brampton,
Aaron Brown of Toronto, Tremaine Har-
ris of Markham and Sheila Reid of New-
market were also added, bringing the
total nominees to the Olympic Games
team by Athletics Canada to 45.

PICKERING -- Close to 200 players in the
tyke (10-11) age division took part in the 4th
annual Carl Rayaz Jadunandan Memorial
Baseball Tournament at Brockridge Park.
The tournament was sponsored by Motie
and Anela Jadunandan, Carl’s parents. He
was 22 when he died five years ago from an
infection. Carl played for the Pickering Red
Sox many years ago, starting out with the
house league team when he was seven.
Wanting to give something back to the
community in his memory, his family and
the Pickering Baseball Association teamed
up to give the house league players a chance
to experience the thrill of playing in a com-
petitive tournament, complete with med-
als.
It meant playing three games the same
day in the heat -- a daunting task for a regu-
lar house league player.
A new feature this year was the collection
of gently used baseball equipment for the
kids in Nicaragua. Bruce Compton of Mack
Baseball, which runs the program in two
Nicaraguan schools, said it is a great way of
introducing the kids there to baseball. Over
$500 was raised for the cause.
The four blended teams in honour of Carl
were called Carl’s Crew, Jads All Stars, CJ
Sluggers and the Rad Jads.
One player, Arman, had a blast at the tour-
nament. It reminded him of his grandfather
who was a coach back in Mexico.
His mother Gabriela said, “Seeing my son
play and being involved in the PBA is like
having my father back with me again”.
Little Arman remarked, “Mom, I think
Carl and grandpa were here with us during
the tournament because it was awesome.”
The Jads All Stars took the gold with MVP
Christopher Rolfe, second place was Carl’s
Crew with MVP John Walmsley, third place
was C.J. Sluggers with MVP Nicole Hunter,
and fourth place was The Rad Jads, with
MVP to Gaege March.

ETOBICOKE -- Madeleine MacNeil was one of the Durham Synchro swimmers who
competed at the Ontario age group championships.
Durham Synchro shines
bright at age group event
ETOBICOKE -- There is little wonder why
Durham Synchro is a club much respected
by its peers.
After the recent Ontario open age group
synchronized swimming championships
held at the Etobicoke Olympium, DSC
swimmers demonstrated strength and
tenacity against long-standing rivals such
as Granite and Gloucester Synchro. Repre-
senting DSC were the 10 and under team
(coach Cathy Veldhoen-Smith), the 11-12
years provincial teams (coaches Jenilee
Keslering and head coach Holley Lund-
mark) and soloist Reyanne Padgett (coach-
es Julia Maclean and Holley Lundmark) in
the 13-15 years category.
In the figures meet, the 10 and under
provincial team posted encouraging
results. Once again Megan Biss finished
first among the many swimmers in this
division, capturing gold.
Her teammates also posted good results,
including: Madeleine Schropp (21), Sophia
Lopers (59), Megan Gomes (68), Amy
Nickerson (83), Tara Goettisheim (92),
Lauren Carter (93), Siobhan Tyler (95),
Sarah Leslie (98) and Maya Lazenby (106).
In the team finals championship, this team
placed 13th among its competitors.
Receiving another medal for her quality
presentation in figures, Madeleine Mac-
Neil placed second in the 11-12 catego-
ry. Following her performance were her
teammates: Erin Clark (19), Alicia Lop-
ers (22), Tianna Henry (25), Rachel Lall
(27), Emily Barton (31), Jordyn Gattie (66),
Lindsey Eyre (90), Maria Giuraniuc (102),
Beth Bagi (118), Sarah Bianco (119), Nicole
Exley (125), Stephanie Fattori (126), and
Ciera Dell (137). Falling to eighth place, the
duet team of Emily Barton and Alicia Lop-
ers ranked midway among the duet teams
in this category. Then the team struck gold
with its first-place routine performance in
the 11-12 team finals championship.
Soloist Reyanne Padgett received a
bronze for her third-place ranking in the
13-15 figures division.
She didn’t allow the podium to cool off as
she placed fourth in the solo finals cham-
pionships with her spider-themed rou-
tine.

Pitch league.
Through nine games the Silver Stixs
remain perfect and 9-0 and have out-scored
their opponents by an average of nearly 14
runs per game.
However, as dominating as they’ve been
at times, they aren’t exactly the runaway
leaders at the top of the standings. With
one fewer game played, Eastmen sits four
points back with a 7-1 record.
The next three teams in the standings
sit quite close together, with the Chug-
gers holding down third spot at 6-4 with 12
points, followed by the Sweat Sox in fifth,
one point back with a 5-3-1 mark, tied with
the Sharks, who own a 5-2-1 record.
Four teams make up the next tier in the
standings with the Antiques and Crusaders
sitting sixth and seventh, respectively, with
matching 3-6 records, followed by the Rel-
ics at 1-8 in eighth place and the last-place
Slugs, winless in nine games.

Heather Casey
In loving memory of a beautiful wife,
affectionate mother
and proud grandmother
who left us on July 13th, 2009.
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel
For no-one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles
No-one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried
We want to tell you something
So there won’t be any doubt
You’re so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without.
Forever loved and never forgotten by
Husband Charles,
Son Peter & Wife Melissa,
Daughter Tara, Grandchildren Quinten
& Caraghan and family.

ments, barbecue lunches, regattas at the
club’s two sites and the Pickering Dragon

Rock host Lakers in MSL action
AJAX -- The Ajax Rock will take to home
floor tonight to hope for a much better
effort than the one they put forth last time
they played the Peterborough Lakers.
A little over a week ago the Rock went
into the Memorial Centre and was thor-
oughly embarrassed by Peterborough
to the tune of a 21-4 final in Major Series
Lacrosse action.
Since then the Rock suffered one more
loss, a 12-11 overtime decision to the
Brooklin Redmen, a game that if nothing
else showed their ability to bounce back
after the lopsided defeat.
Tonight’s game is an 8 p.m. faceoff at the
Ajax Community Centre.
Following that the Rock close out the reg-
ular season with two games next weekend.
