The 24-year-old first picked up a paint brush last year, and since has come to love the artistic process. “I started painting just to see what happened, to see what it would look like, and I didn’t hate it,” Mr. Hodge said, laugh- ing.

Viewings for Joshua Yasay to be held July 21 and 22 Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Funeral services for an Ajax man killed in a mass Scarborough shooting will be held Monday, July 23 at 11 a.m. at St. Francis de Sales Parish, 1001 Ravenscroft Rd., Ajax. Joshua Yasay died following a shooting at a Scarborough block party July 16, along with a 14-year-old Toronto girl, Shyanne Charles. Another 23 people were shot during the mayhem on Danzig Street, including a 22-month-old toddler whose head was grazed by a bullet. All but one of the vic- tims were treated and released, with one man still in hospital in stable condition, according to the most recently available reports. One woman was treated for non- gunshot related injuries and released. Mr. Yasay was part owner of Goodfellas Barber Lounge, 34 Church St. S., Ajax. The 23 year old was a caring and hardwork- ing man who mentored at-risk youth and dreamed of being a police officer, in the hopes of curbing the same violence that took his life. A bachelor of arts and crim- inology graduate of York University, he also worked as a security guard in down- town Toronto. Viewings for Mr. Yasay will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22 at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax.

Funeral service July 23 for Ajax man killed in mass Scarborough shooting> AJAX -- Police continue to call for informa- tion on the whereabouts of an Ajax man who’s been missing for more than a week. Warfa Yusuf, 29, was last seen July 10, Durham police said. Worried family mem- bers say it is unusual for the man to go so long without contacting them. Although tips have come in since police first publicized the case Wednesday, Mr. Yusuf remains missing. He’s of Somalian descent, standing 5 feet 11 and weighing about 205 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing long blue shorts, a plaid short-sleeved shirt and a white undershirt. Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2534 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. submiTTed pHoTo AJAX -- Joshua Yasay died July 16 in a mass shooting in Scarborough.

I start with a general idea and then go from there. I like leav- ing things abstract because then people have the ability to see what they want in the painting.” Mr. Hodge’s art is now on display at the Pickering Civic Complex through July 30 as part of the City’s Experience Art pro- gram, which features work by a different area artist monthly. Mr. Hodge decided to participate in the program to get more exposure for his work, which had mostly been shown only to friends and family. “It’s a lot more interesting to get opin- ions from strangers,” he explained, not- ing between Experience Art and Picker- ing’s Artfest on the Esplanade, held ear- lier this summer, he’s already sold two paintings. “It blows my mind when a stranger actually wants to buy one of my paint- ings. It’s insane, in a good way.” Although his chance attempt at art has turned out better than he ever dreamed, Mr. Hodge said he has no plans to give up music anytime soon, and his cur- rent hard-core thrash band Terror Spells remains his first priority. Art, however, will remain a favourite hobby. “I plan to just keep painting like crazy all the time,” he said. “I didn’t think I would end up loving it as much as I did, ever since I started I can’t stop.” For more information on the Experi- ence Art program, visit www.pickering. ca.

But this wasn’t the case last week, when a passerby spotted the Shih Tzu mix tied to the back of a large garbage bin behind the No Frills on Kingston Road in Pickering. The citizen took the dog to the Humane Society of Durham Region as he found him, severely burned with a make- shift bandage covering just a portion of the welts that riddled his body. The male dog, around six years old, was then seen by veterinarian Cheryl Birss, who determined he had burns to about 50 per cent of his body. “This is the worst burn type of incident I’ve ever seen,” says Dr. Birss, who adds the eye loss appears to be from an earlier veterinarian procedure. She’s now fostering the dog, which she’s named Oliver or Ollie for short, and is nursing him back to health. The dog, whose original name was Rotti, gets round-the-clock care and is on several pain medications. It appears a hot liquid burned the dog, which could have been anything from a chemical to scalding water, says Ontario SPCA officer Debby Houghton. “To tie it up to a garbage can and walk away, it’s very disturbing because it was in severe pain,” says Ms. Houghton. Initially, the outlook for Ollie’s recov- ery looked grim. Dr. Birss says his burns were at least a couple of days old and if he were human, he’d most likely be in a coma. But he’s made great progress, and is now eating, socializing and even ‘mark- ing his territory’ outside the vet clinic on his walks. “He’s got this will and he’s doing remarkably well,” says Ms. Houghton. Dr. Birss hopes he’ll be medical- ly cleared and ready to find his forever home in three to four weeks. He seems afraid of men, but vet staff are trying to fix the problem. His original owner was tracked down through a microchip, but said the dog had been given to someone else months ago, says Ms. Houghton, and the trail ends there. It’s unknown who was caring for Ollie when he was harmed. Ms. Houghton is seeking the public’s help with the case. Anyone who has information or knows who owned the dog around July 10 (the dog would have probably been called Rotti at the time), is asked to call 905-665-7430, ext. 225. Ms. Houghton also asks the person who found Ollie to call her, as they didn’t leave any contact information. Anyone who harms an animal could be jailed for two years and fined up to $60,000 under the Provincial Animal Welfare Act.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Something’s wrong here To the editor: Re: ‘Dog nearly dies in Oshawa after left outside in heat’, news, durhamregion.com, June 25, 2012. There was also a recent report on chil- dren left alone in several locations in and around Durham. I do not recall the dramatic accounts there that I noted in the dog story. It is not nice to abuse any animal, includ- ing dogs. On the other hand, when dogs are over- coddled and children are under-coddled, society has gone off the rails. R.H. Posma Oshawa Why would anyone inject these chemicals? To the editor: Re: ‘Vaccine a sore spot for Whitby teen’, news, durhamregion.com, June 28, 2012. I’m amazed that parents allow their chil- dren to be injected with these vaccines, many of which contain aluminum, mer- cury, formaldehyde, and who knows what else. Actually, I’m amazed that adults allow that stuff to be injected into their bodies, let alone the bodies of their children. Have we, the so-called masses, learned noth- ing from the swine flu scam? Pharmaceu- tical companies will never divulge what’s in their vaccines unless required to do so, either by governments (fat chance) or pub- lic outrage. Lastly, it’s ironic to note that her problem was ultimately diagnosed by a naturopath- ic doctor and later confirmed by a ‘medical doctor’. Bill Gotro Whitby Work for change, don’t just complain To the editor: Re: ‘A Canada Day lament’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, July 3, 2012. While the letter writer seems to condone desecration of public and private proper- ty, and the burning of police vehicles, this does not seem like the action of innocent people to me. He does seem to object to supplying our troops with adequate equipment. For too long our soldiers have used old tanks, leaky subs and 40-year-old helicopters, along with other antiquated equipment. Has the letter writer ever visited the Brock Street bridge when we honour our fallen heroes? Maybe then he will remember the cost of freedom. We have one of the most diverse societies in the world and immigrants flock to our shores. Checking our ethnic diversity we cannot be doing that bad of a job. As for his claim about the governments eroding our rights, this is what elections are about. If you don’t like it, work to change it. Don’t just complain. Pity. John Fitchett Whitby Kicking MP when she’s down To the editor: Re: ‘Bye bye, Bev’, Mike Johnston column, durhamregion.com, July 11, 2012. I am not in her riding but I have to assume that a lot of people liked her to give her the number of votes she received. She did good work on behalf of Canada. Yes, she made mistakes and had to go. But kicking like that when she is down is not something we should expect from some- one who has such access to the media. That kind of reporting from a managing editor seems a little low class. It is a free country but this opinion seems too bitter. Doug Armstrong Brooklin More recycling would negate incinerator need To the editor: Re: ‘Durham inching towards 70 per cent waste diversion goal’, news, durhamregion. com, June 2, 2012. I can’t believe the article I read in which the Region was glowing about the waste diversion of 50 per cent from landfill and a target of 70 per cent by 2015. Can anyone explain why the Region is spending mil- lions of dollars on a incinerator when it is painfully obvious that the money should be spent in the pursuit of recycling? Does the word Mirabel mean anything? Russ Brown, Whitby Cycling tour through Durham promotes local communities A group of committed cyclists, tired but in good spirits, arrived in Oshawa this week to spend the night en route to Quebec. The group is taking part in a 730-kilome- tre ride from Niagara-on-the-Lake to the Quebec border as part of the Great Water- front Trail Adventure, an annual ‘cycling holiday’ for participants, and a means to promote cycling, cycling safety, waterfront trail networks in the Golden Horseshoe and beyond, and the abiding interest in active living. But the tour, as it passed through Dur- ham’s lakefront municipalities, also shone a spotlight on local issues related to cycling. On the positive side, the tour brought cyclists through Ajax and Oshawa, two Dur- ham municipalities recently designated by the Share the Road Coalition as bronze-lev- el, bike-friendly communities. However, a narrow, high-traffic stretch of road along Bayly-Victoria Street between Ajax and Whitby was cited by some as haz- ardous and deemed in need of modifica- tion. As it happens, councils in both Whitby and Ajax are currently in the preliminary stages of a redesign along that very stretch of road to address safety issues for cyclists and traffic volumes for motorists. The cycling tour also exposed partici- pants -- most of whom live outside Dur- ham Region -- to the appealing water- fronts of local municipalities. The trail took them through Pickering’s trendy and pop- ular waterfront with its village setting and splash pad for kids. It took them to Ajax’s waterfront, starting at the Duffins Creek Marsh, over to Rotary Park and then to its nautical landmarks, then farther east as the trail winds towards Whitby, before ending the day in the friendly confines of Lakeview Park in Oshawa, under its towering shade trees. Overall, the tour served as a snapshot for participants and local residents in these municipalities, to highlight the appeal that exists, the scenic vistas that are offered, the fitness benefits that can be realized, and even areas that are in need of improve- ment. There is an active and passionate riding community that exists in Durham. Those who pursue cycling as a hobby work dili- gently to address safety issues, promote their passion and to advise decision-mak- ers. The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure tour is a perfect complement to their ongo- ing efforts here at home as municipalities continue to create healthy living opportu- nities and greenspaces for residents. Take a ride on one of the trails in your neighbourhood -- or in a neighbouring municipality -- to discover for yourself where the day might take you. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP FA LLPAY UNTIL HWY(A/T): 5.6L/100KM CITY(A/T): 8.6L/100KM HWY(A/T): 6.2L/100KM CITY(A/T):9.5L/100KM 2012 2012 Includesdelivery,destinationand fees of $1,784.

A proposal to locate a Rogers cell tower on Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity (TRCA) lands just north of Rodd Avenue in Pickering drew fire from surrounding res- idents earlier this month, leading Rogers to offer an alternate location for the tower. “Based on the community input we received there was obviously some opposition to the proposed location,” said Tatyana Moro, munici- pal relations specialist for Rogers. “Due to that we decided to work with the TRCA to set the tower further back from residential areas in order to mitigate those concerns.” The new location would see the tower moved farther north, just south of an exist- ing TRCA equipment shed and parking area. “We’re leaning towards the alter- nate because of all the com- munity input we’ve received so far,” Ms. Moro said. “We would prefer to work with the pub- lic and Pickering council to find the ideal site for the community.” While residents appreciated the effort, they still had concerns with the location of a tower in their community. “It’s a bit more reasonable,” said resident Alex Tsoulis, who had concerns with its prox- imity to the residential area and the fact it was located on conservation lands. “You’re not allowed to put houses there but you can put a cell tower? There’s necessary infrastructure for a community, but this is not that. No reasonable person would put this so close to houses.” Resident Sue Fukushima’s primary concern was the conservation lands and the effect a tower could have on both residents and wild- life. “We live here because of the conservation lands and we want to keep it natural,” she explained. “That tower is in a migra- tory path for animals and birds and we don’t know what the long-term effects are on them or on people. The alternate is better aes- thetically, but it doesn’t address any concerns with regards to being on conser- vation lands.” Once the commenting period closes on Friday, July 20 Rogers staff will put together a report recom- mending a final site propos- al, which will be forward- ed to City of Pickering staff. The proposal will then go before Pickering council for approval, most likely in October or Novem- ber. Residents who wish to offer input can e-mail tatyana.moro@rci.rogers.com. The TRCA board will also have to approve the request in order for Rogers to lease the land, with a staff recommendation expected to go before the board in September or October for decision.

Durham cops have issued a warning about such online scams after the woman was defrauded of more than $350,000 by a grifter who posed as a successful businessman and professed his love for her. Exchanges between the 61-year-old victim and the suspect occurred between February and July of this year, police said. Posing as a U.S. resident with interest in gold mining and business ventures in Ghana, he sought numerous loans for a variety of reasons. The scammer came up with many excuses for failing to repay the loans, and declared his love for the victim, police said. Police advise Internet users to be careful about sharing personal information online, and to never provide money or banking and credit information to people they don’t know. It’s also important not to be swept up in declarations of love by someone you’ve exchanged just a few e-mails with, police said.

THIS YEAR, FORTHE ANNUAL KIA DRIVECHANGEDAY TUESDAY, AUGUST 21ST Ajax Fire Department reminds residents of hefty penalties Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Illegal open air burns are on the rise in Ajax, according to Ajax Fire and Emergency Services. Fire crews have responded to numerous illegal burns in the town recently and Ajax Fire wants to remind residents that ille- gal burns are dangerous and carry serious consequences. “Open-air burning creates a potential fire hazard in the community and also infring- es on people’s rights to enjoy their proper- ty free from smoke odours and other nui- sances created by this activity,” said Ajax’s chief fire prevention officer, Keith Douc- ette. “Fire department resources are also depleted by crews having to respond to false alarms and complaints created by open air burning.” Illegal outdoor burns are punishable offences under the Ontario Fire Code, which can impose fines of up to $50,000 and up to one year of imprisonment. Open-air burns are banned in most areas of the town, which means all outdoor wood-burning appliances are prohibited, including chimneas and outdoor fireplac- es. Ajax’s open-air burning bylaw can be found online at www.ajax.ca under fire prevention and public safety. Residents can also get more information by calling the Ajax Fire Prevention and Public Safety Division at 905-683-3050, option two.

Illegal open-air burns increasing in Ajax> (NC)—Whether it’s to soak up the sun while laying poolside, hiking in the woods, or sitting on a patio to enjoy a cool drink with friends when the days get longer, our first instinct is to move outside to absorb the daylight and fresh air we naturally crave. In fact, natural daylight has been associated with improved mood, enhanced morale, reduced fatigue and reduced eyestrain. Natural light and fresh air are quite essential to healthy living, so it’s important to realize that most people spend the majority of their time indoors. Between home and the office or workplace, up to 90 per cent of our time can be spent inside buildings. Since there is no electrical light source that matches exactly the qualities of daylight, the amount of natural light provided through windows, doors and skylights has a direct impact on your overall well-being. Consider a modest investment in your home that will pay back through improved mood, productivity and general happiness. Skylights provide up to twice as much light as windows on vertical wall surfaces. Today’s best skylights feature a no-leak guarantee when installed correctly, and are made from high-performance materials that block out the sun’s damaging UV-B rays which can lead to sunburns, skin aging and skin cancer. To maximize health benefits, install a Velux venting skylight which lets in just as much sunlight as a typical skylight but also opens for improved air circulation in your home. Increasing fresh air helps to improve energy levels and may decrease asthma and allergy triggers, which have been conclusively linked to humid buildings. Skylight accessory options include remote controlled blinds for added control over the amount of light entering your home.

These improvements might include anything from simple repairs to completing a full renovation that’s been on the backburner during the winter months. Major renovations often put a larger dent in the wallet than the planned budget, resulting in delays and increased debt. However, refinancing or renewing an existing mortgage provides a sound option for covering those renovation costs by leveraging the equity in your home - even if you’re simply looking for extra funds to redecorate and give your home a quick refresh. “Refinancing your mortgage is a great solution that many Canadians may not know exists when looking for extra cash to support a renovation,” said Peter Kalen, senior vice president of Sears Financial and Home Services. “In this case, a large lump sum can be loaned at a much lower rate than the average line of credit using the interest rates tied to your mortgage. Payments are also more manageable since they are spread out over a longer period of time.” Mortgage specialists can review your current home equity and determine which refinancing option and rate will work best to meet your individual needs.

N Advertising FeAture SUMMER HoME Lawn & GaRdEn Boomers drive a different type of housing boom (NC)—Baby boomers will continue to drive the housing market over the next 20 years, says a recent report from the Conference Board of Canada. The demands of this group however, are quite different than those of buyers in other groups. They are looking for smaller, less burdensome housing such as condos or bungalows. “As the population ages, there will be a demand for a different type of home that will meet boomers’ needs,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “In addition to condos and bungalows, some developers are responding to this growing market of aging boomers by offering home designs that cater to multi- generational living, with dual master bedrooms or separate lofts, for example.” Whether folks prefer living in a secure building or need a house with everything on one storey, we are definitely going to see a change in what’s offered on the market, according to Abraham. He recommends that all homeowners think about how their needs will change as they get older. For baby boomers who don’t have a plan in place for their next home move, Abraham recommends they speak with a Realtor now to find out the value of their property and discuss possibilities for a future home. “A Realtor can help you learn what housing options are out there and plan for your next stage of homeownership.” Abraham shares these tips for boomers considering a home change: • Think about your lifestyle: Do you plan to travel or have potential health issues? If so, a single-level home or a condo might be the best fit. • Downsizing is not a boomer’s only option. Buying a house now that can be converted into multiple units to rent later allows you flexibility as your circumstances change. • Speaking with a Realtor about buying and selling options can sometimes reveal certain opportunities that might not otherwise have been considered.

Staff,residents, family members and the community had the pleasure of viewing some outstanding performances from talented and charismatic individuals, all vying for a coveted spot at the National Final.The event garnered a great deal of attention,as the audience packed into the food court of the mall eager to see the exquisite talent on stage.Contestants were givena maximum of five minutes to sing a song,play an in- strument,or do both. A panel of judges, including Adam Stokholm National Band Manager for Long and McQuade, Steve Macko Saxophone &Pianist for Little Caesar &The Consuls and Carl Miller ow ner of Café Crème Brûlée provided encouraging feedback and comments after each performance. While all performances were inspiring and uplifting,judges managed to narrow it down to the top two contestants, each of whom were recognized with a Senior Star trophy.Ly n Doucette of Oshawa, Ontario was runner-up after her outstand- ing performance of “Lullaby of Broadway” First place went to Er ic Whyte of Pickering, Ontario,who had the crowd cheering him on throughout his rendition of “Dream Lover.”Both individuals cap- tured the hearts and souls of the crowd and were an instant favourite.They will advance for consideration for Chartwell’s Senior Star Na tional Final. “Our performers shatter traditional misconcep- tionsaboutslowing down in ones’later years,”said Melinda Wilkinson,Sales and Marketing Manager at Chartwell Wy nfield Retirement Residence in Oshawa, Ontario.“The amount of senior talent that exists in our community is truly incredible and we are pleased to provide an outlet for them to share their gift.”Thousands of auditions have taken place across Canada in the month of Ju ne and Durham is hoping that one of its shining stars will advance in the competition.In 2010, Oshawa senior Barry Gardner advanced to the National Final held at the historic Carlu Theatre in To ronto. A celebrity panel of judges will view videos of the first and second place winners from across Canada and narrow the list to ten competitors.The final ten will be invited to compete in the Senior Star Na tional Final held in Niagara Falls in November where judges will crow n the first place winner with the title of 2012 Senior Star Champion.

Writers’ Community’s prose competition seeks entries Talent agent comes to Durham for quality DURHAM -- Before you even exchange greetings, Pat Jarosz is sizing you up. The BOOKITTALENT owner/agent in recent years has met countless Durham residents at open meetings. It’s an ini- tial interview where Jarosz evaluates all comers to see if they have what it takes for work in TV commercials and series, movies and print advertising. And she’s discovered many local peo- ple, from children to adults, who are now working in the business. A former model with years of experi- ence, Jarosz knows exactly what she’s looking for. “Whether it’s print or TV, what I look for is when they’re walking up to me, even before they sit in front of me, they’re smiling, they’ve got a sparkle in their eye and they’re looking right at me,” she says. Jarosz says it tells her a lot. Shyness is not a quality she wants to see. An outgo- ing person makes an immediate, good first impression. And at an audition, first impressions are everything. “This is a business where they’re going to be meeting strangers all the time,” Jarosz says. “(At an audition) it’s going in, intro- ducing yourself and you have a couple of minutes to make that first impres- sion.” Now living in Wasaga Beach, Jarosz was an agent for 20 years, scouted for other agents for another eight years and formed BOOKITTALENT in 2009. Scouting for other agents, she didn’t like finding a talent, sending them off to an agent and losing track of them. “I’m a different agent,” Jarosz says. “I go out and find talent myself.” She finds that it’s more comforting for people to meet her on their own turf. The first time Jarosz came to Dur- ham was simply because she’d never been here before. Durham isn’t far from Toronto, she reasoned, let’s test the waters. Jarosz has returned many times since because, she says, the quality of the people here, in terms of their biz- readiness, is unparalleled. “There are so many excellent dance schools in Durham,” she says. “There are so many wonderful opportunities for young people to work with a local theatre group. I have not found that any- where I’ve been. They’re not shy, which is the number one thing an actor can’t be.” Eighty-five to 90 per cent of the people she meets are on a mission: they want to be in the industry and they want an agent. On more than one occasion, a mother brought a son or daughter to meet her and has been surprised when Jarosz has asked if she’s interested in the business. Jarosz has a number of pointers for people with starry ambitions. First, she notes, there are a lot of “opportunities” out there that are rip-offs. She’s amazed that people, parents if they’re checking for a child, don’t do a little, basic home- work. “Most people that I met have looked at my website and have Googled me,” she says. “What surprises me is people who don’t.” If you Google a so-called agent and the search yields no results, Jarosz says red flags should go up. And while personality is king and queen, having a proper photograph shouldn’t be underestimated. Bottom line, don’t scrimp on a photo, have one professionally taken. Jarosz has advice for parents who bring their child or children to an interview: stay out of the way as much as possible. “When I ask them questions I don’t want the parents answering for them,” she says. “They’re not going to be in the audition room with the children.” Check out her website, patjarosz.com.

These bugs like to lay their eggs along the seams of a mattress and box spring, wooden areas such as bed frames and baseboards, clothing, etc. Bed bugs can lay one to five eggs a day, and they are nearly impossible to see. Bed bugs survive by having blood meals, which they get from you! They feed by injecting their elongated beak into you and withdrawing blood. They are attracted to the carbon dioxide you emit and the warmth you produce. Their bites can cause an allergic reaction that leads to scratching and discomfort. Those who have an infestation can suffer from mental stress, sleeplessness, embarrassment, and loss of property value. The infestation can spread from the bedroom(s) throughout the rest of the house. Leap Pest Control are bed bug specialists. They have several options to help you get rid of bed bugs permanently. One option is heat treatment. Heat equipment is set up in your home. The temperature is raised to 135̊ F and maintained for several hours, which will kill live bed bugs. After the heat treatment, Diatomaceous Earth or a permethrin based dust will be put behind outlet and switch plate covers. A small amount of residual spray may be applied in to cracks and crevices for long term protection. Customers can also opt to use mattress encasements to help protect the mattress and box spring. Climb up bed bug monitors will be placed under each bed leg for monitoring purposes. Their canine detector, Hunter, will be brought in to inspect your home to make sure all bed bugs have been eliminated. Leap Pest Control also offers a chemical treatment to kill the bed bugs. This process includes vacuuming likely infestation areas, applying a hot dry steam to specific areas, applying treatments to cracks and crevices around the baseboards, door and window frames, and other areas where bed bug activity may occur. Mattress encasements are recommended. A follow-up treatment will take place 10 to 14 days after the first treatment. Hunter, part of the canine detection team has more than 600 hours of training in scent detection for bed bugs. His nose can pinpoint infestations with 95% accuracy, whereas other more costly mechanical devices can only lead to and pinpoint infestations with approximately 30% accuracy. Don’t let the bed bugs bite any longer! Call Leap Pest Control and regain control of your home! For more information, please call (416) 805-3944 or visit the website at www.leappestcontrol.com.

TM windows for life! www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca ‘Super-bendy’ Pickering dancer going to circus school Ajax’s Holly Makarchuk off to Montreal BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Holly Makarchuk is beyond flexible. She’s “super bendy,” able to twist and stretch her body into astonishing posi- tions. And while most would wince to see her lay on her stomach and bring her feet up to her ears, imagining how painful it must be, the 17-year-old Ajax High School student says it actually feels great. “I love it,” she says. “It feels very good on my back and body. I love stretching and the way people look at you and go, ‘that’s so cool’.” A dancer for most of her life, her specialty is acro, specifi- cally contortion. When she first saw Cirque du Soleil contortion- ists her immedi- ate thought was, ‘I want to be up there doing that’. She’s going to the National Circus School in Montreal this month, where she’ll train for eight hours a day as she pursues a dream to be a Cirque Du Soleil performer. “I was screaming at home (when I found out),” she says. “I’m so excited to go, to meet other people and learn more things in contortion.” Most young people listen to popular music, but Holly regu- larly plays music from Cirque routines, often getting per- plexed ‘what is this’ queries from friends. But maybe not from best friend Juliann Morri- son of Pickering, Holly’s dance partner, who also excels in con- tortion. “We’re both super bendy and we get along so well,” Holly says. “On the beach we’ll be doing things and people will come up to us.” While she did commer- cials and had small parts in movies when she was little, Holly’s overwhelming obsession has always been dance. “Before she actually took lessons, she was always dancing,” says her mother, Donna Makarchuk, who adds it’s not uncommon to hear a thump- thump sound coming from Hol- ly’s room in the evening as she practises hand-stands against the wall. Holly showed up at the Denise Lester Dance Academy when she was two, a year younger than most kids start there. She proved she belonged and has been dancing there ever since. She started off in bal- let and, while it’s hard to believe, recalls a time when she was “hor- rible at acro” and “couldn’t d o any- thing.” One sum- mer she decided she had to do better, enlist- ing an aunt and former dancer who is also very flexible to work with her until Holly began to excel. She comes from a family of dancers, noting her aunts all danced at Denise Lester’s acad- emy, which is a second home to her. Now Holly’s a teacher there, helping her acro teacher, Tammy Anderson, with classes. Anderson says Holly has the great combination of being both very talented and a hard worker, noting at competitions she’s received awards such as Teach- e r ’ s Dream and Des- tined to be in Cirque. “She puts so much into it and is also so pleasant,” she says. “All the little kids really look up to her. I’m really excited for her because I think she really deserves this. “As talented as she is, she’s not conceited. She’s very modest about herself and her skill.” As part of the application pro- cess for circus school, Anderson choreographed a solo for Holly that showed her abilities. Forty people were accepted into the program, which receives up to 300 applications from around the world. She’ll be there for two intense weeks, majoring in con- tortion, balancing and Chinese pole. “It’ll be tough, but it’ll be worth it,” Holly says. “It’ll make me a better dancer.” Chinese pole, especially, “is going to be hard,” Holly says. Vertical poles on which per- formers climb, slide and hold poses, the marquee trick on the apparatus is “the flag,” which sees the performer hang hori- zontally from the pole. But she’s excited to try it and Holly says she loves being chal- lenged. An honour roll student cur- rently sporting a roughly 90 per cent average (“not my best,” she says), Holly is very active in school in student coun- cil, the business club, leadership council and athletic asso- ciation. She has a par- allel dream, to be a lawyer, and would like to attend Harvard one day. But that dream might have to take second place to a career as a super-bendy contortionist. “I love performing and making people happy,” Holly says. > du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP a division of For exclusive offers: facebook.com/savedotca your source for FREE coupons Print your Buitoni®Coupon NOW!

Slammin’ the competition AJAX -- The Writers’ Community of Durham Region held its Summer Slam spoken word and performance competition July 14 at the Ajax Convention Centre. Sue Reynolds, left, of north Durham took the first-place gavel for winning the event while Pickering author Heather Smyth was the runner-up. The event challenged Durham writers to write and perform a piece at the WCDR’s breakfast meeting. Among the restrictions they faced, the writers could use no props and had to deliver their piece in three minutes or less.

Braxton Papadopoulos, 17, turned the tables on seasoned veterans, posting three stunning upsets to win the Canada Cup of international wrestling at the University of Guelph. In her first match she defeated Jazmyne Bark- er (senior national medalist) of Calgary 3-1, 0-2, 3-2, Amanda Gerhart (5th, 2011 world champion- ship) 3-3, 2-0, Celeste Rodrigues (former junior national team, OUA champion) 1-0, 5-0. She competed to her potential, defeated some of Canada’s best senior wrestlers and proved her- self a serious senior contender for the future. She still has another three years at junior and will be in Grade 12 at Pickering High School beginning in the fall. Recently she won her third consecutive OFSAA championship as well as the U-19 and U-21 (junior) nationals. She just completed a train- ing camp in Guelph working with 2012 Olympians and travelled to Calgary to continue working with the women’s Olympic team. Dillon William placed third at the Pre-junior Canada Cup, His only loss was to the Korean U-18 world team member. Ignatius Pitt lost in the finals. Papadopoulos, Williams, Pitt and Kerry Ash- ley will be heading to the world FILA Cadet (U-18) championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, Aug. 21-27. Ashley is a Pickering High School teacher, wres- tling coach and former national junior champion. Papadopoulos will miss the first week of school and compete at the Junior World Champi- onship in Pattaya, Thailand on Sept. 4-9. Juwan Burgess, a Grade 10 Pickering High School student, participated in the camp but not the tournament. He also competed in Maracaibo, Venezuela at the U-18 Pan American Champion- ships. The athletes are looking for any sponsorship that may help ease the cost of travelling to the world championships. Those interested can con- tact Kerry Ashley 416-704-3457 or Kirk Papado- poulos 416-984-5398. Pickering’s Jenn Wakefield drafted by Toronto Furies PICKERING -- Jenn Wakefield has a new hockey home. The Pickering resident was selected in the third round of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League draft by the Toronto Furies. The Furies fin- ished with a 9-13-5 record last season. Wakefield’s NCAA hockey career came to an end earlier this year when her Boston University Terriers were edged 8-7 in triple overtime by Cor- nell in the quarterfinals. The senior captain scored once and added two assists in her final collegiate game. She finished her unbelievable collegiate career with 206 points on 120 goals and 86 assists. She is the only skater in Hockey East history to have reached the 100-goal plateau and became the second league skater to score 200 career points. Wakefield won a gold medal with Canada at the 2012 World Championships. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP Canada’s first paragolfer cart comes to Durham SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The first Ottobock Para- golfer in Canada has found a home in Durham Region thanks to the Bruce’s Golf Rewards program. The chair was unveiled last month at Lakeridge Links and is geared towards allowing those who have suffered debil- itating injuries in the past and can no long function at the same level a chance to either get back into the game of golf, or experience it for the first time. “We did a Special Olympics day and we kind of had the idea that we want- ed to give back to the people that have maybe been shutout from golf before,” said Ben Conway, director of marketing for Bruce’s Golf Rewards. “So we started looking on the Internet and found out about the paragolfer.” The chair is an all-terrain-type motor- ized machine that lifts a person from a sitting position to an upright position, allowing them to grab a club and swing away. At the launch, Pickering native Antho- ny Lue, a former star athlete in these parts who was severely injured in a work-place accident in 2009, got a chance to try out the chair and accord- ing to Conway, there was no wiping the smile off his face. Or anyone involved for that matter. “It’s amazing. It makes you feel great,” Conway said. “We had one kid out there, Anthony Lue, I think he had golfed once before he got hurt and hadn’t stood up straight for a long time. When he stood up straight (with the paragolf chair) the look on his face, the grin from ear-to- ear, his mom was smiling. She couldn’t believe it. That type of thing is what you do it for. You want to see the smiles and for them to have the feeling that they can do whatever they want now.” For now Conway says the one chair they have, which is currently on display at Lakeridge, will be rotated between the eight courses in the Bruce’s Golf Rewards program. Along with Lak- eridge, the other seven are Whispering Ridge, Annandale, Pickering, Eldorado, Winchester, Riverside and Stonehenge. Eventually they would like to include four chairs and allow for an entire para- golfing group to hit the links. “We’re hoping to eventually be able to have four of them to rotate through the courses,” Conway said. “Ideally, what our owner Doug Summers wants is to see a foursome up and go out on one of the courses and let them play.” Conway added there will be no charge for use of the chair for someone wanting to take to the tee block with a group of friends. “If you come to golf with your friends and they are walking, they pay but you don’t,” Conway said. “We want to be able to open it up. We don’t want to cre- ate more barriers for people to use it.” >Golf made more accessible RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND WHITBY -- Anthony Lue tried out the Ottobock Paragolfer chair at Lakeridge Links. The chair is the first of its type to be offered by a golf club in Canada and allows for disabled athletes to enjoy the game of golf without restrictions. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 19 APDuffy closes out junior career BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It was a great run while it lasted, and now Ian Duffy is eager to find out what other opportuni- ties are ahead. The lacrosse goalie from Ajax wrapped up his junior career over the weekend when his Oakville Buzz bowed out to the Akwesasne Indians, the top team in the Jr. B Eastern Conference, falling in four games of their best-of-five semi- final series. While the 21 year old walked off the floor for the final time as a junior following the loss, he wasn’t alone. That’s when the emotion hit. “One of the things we wanted to focus on this year was having no regrets, especially going into those final couple of games,” he says. “We gave it everything we had and left it all on the floor. “Once I got in the dressing room, we had a lot of last-year guys, about 10, so it was over for a lot of guys. So when you start seeing some of the other guys it starts to get to you a bit.” Duffy started playing lacrosse in Whitby, switching over to the West Durham program once it started. His fearless attitude in goal at the age of six or seven, perhaps derived from playing net in hockey as well, earned him the keeper’s job for the rest of his lacrosse career. “At that age it was a rotation of who goes in net,” he recalls. “I guess I went in net and the coach said I was one of the few kids that wasn’t scared of the ball. You can’t teach that.” He advanced through the West Durham minor system, played intermediate for the Toronto Stars, returned to West Durham to play Jr. C with the Patriots, then moved up to the Jr. B ranks with the Toron- to Beaches. A trade to Oakville was the final stop, where he enjoyed playing for a successful organiza- tion, was treated well from day one and met a lot of great people, he says. The commute to Oakville for Fri- day night home games for two-and- a-half years was tricky, but made easier by car pooling with a couple of other local players on the team. “We definitely racked up some 407 miles,” he quips. In addition to box lacrosse, Duffy also tends goal in field, playing the past three seasons at Brock University after graduating from Denis O’Connor. The communica- tions major was part of a national championship winning team his first year, and has advanced to the national championship game the past two years, only to fall short. “At Brock it’s championship or bust every single year,” he says of the culture at the school as he pre- pares for his senior season. “We’ve got high expectations, proud alum- ni. When you have a winning per- centage like we do as far as national championships go, they don’t set- tle for less. The older guys let you know that from day one. “Some of the other schools look at it as arrogance, but it’s a sense of pride. It’s contagious once you get there.” As for next summer, Duffy still has a passion to play, hoping to suit up for the hometown Ajax Rock in the Major Series League, but is pre- pared to work his way up through the ranks again. “One of the things I found out, losing (to Akwesasne) and feeling like it was all over, I definitely love the game more than I knew, so I want to keep playing.” RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Ian Duffy finished up his junior lacrosse career with the Oakville Buzz.

The event was a qualifier for the North American meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Red Sox tops in Brampton Score three in the seventh inning for 4-1 win over Whitby BRAMPTON -- The Pickering Red Sox junior baseball team won the Brampton Junior Baseball Tournament. Great pitching and timely hitting over the weekend helped the team go unde- feated in the tournament. The round robin games saw the Sox beat the local host, the Brampton Royals, 13-3 on Fri- day night with victories on Saturday against Richmond Hill Phoenix 7-0 and Mississauga Southwest Twins 7-6. The semifinal was played against a very competitive Kitchener Panther team, but the Sox came out on top of a 4-0 shutout. Matt MacDonald pitched an incredible seven innings, allowing only two hits, This set up the final against a local rival team, the Whitby Chiefs. This was a very exciting game, with a 1-1 tie heading into the seventh inning. The top of the inning had the Red Sox putting up three runs and then holding the Chiefs scoreless in the bottom to take the championship with pitcher Matt Krettek only allowing four hits over seven innings. Both Kitch- ener and Whitby are ranked in the top- 10 of Ontario teams. The 19 and 20-year old players on the Pickering team come from Ajax, Clar- ington and Pickering. The team cur- rently sits in fourth place with a record of 11-4-1 in regular season play with- in the TBA (Toronto Baseball Associa- tion) Junior division, which is the high- est level of baseball for 19-21 year-old players in Ontario. The Red Sox have also posted a very respectable tourna- ment record, with a second place fin- ish in the Pickering Tournament, los- ing to the Whitby Chiefs, and a loss in the semifinals of the Mississauga North tournament to the eventual winner from St. Thomas. Up next for the Red Sox, while com- pleting their regular league schedule, is a trip to the Dan Duquette Baseball Acad- emy in Hinsdale, Massachusetts, July 20-21, quickly followed by the Ontario Eliminations being played in Burling- ton on the Aug. 3 long weekend, with the winner representing Ontario at the Canadian Juniors Nationals. Team members include Nick Cappa, David Head, Michael Mastrangelo, Mark Storto, Dan Cooke, Chris Georges, Jim Martin, Aaron Rabena, Dennis Linth- waite, Jeff Martin, Myles Phillips, David Bunce, Matt Krettek, Matt MacDonald, Jacob Stone, Chris Marraccini, Peter Ricciardi, Mike Osko, Peter Nash, Drew Knautz and Rob Heard. > SubMitted Photo PICKERING -- The Pickering Red Sox junior baseball team scored three times in the top of the seventh inning to beat Whitby in the championship game of the Brampton tournament. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 23 AP Durham Craft & Gift Show Durham College October 19, 20 & 21, 2012 Your one-stop shopping for ultimate gift giving this Holiday Season!
