Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Ajax-Pickering receives financial support Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Three Durham com- munity organizations received project funding from the Province in July. Almost $75,000 was presented between the three groups. The Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre of Dur- ham received $27,861, Girls Incorporated of Durham received $25,537 and Big Brothers Big Sis- ters of Ajax-Pickering received $20,544. The 2012-2013 Healthy Com- munities Fund grants came from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “Our government is proud to support innovative and collab- orative local projects that pro- mote healthy living in communi- ties across Ontario,” said Michael Chan, Minister of Tourism, Cul- ture and Sport. The WMRCC of Durham received funding for its Women’s Wellness and Healthy Lifestyles Project. “This initiative focuses on implementing holistic healthy eating choices, physical activities and mental health promotion to women from diverse backgrounds who are survivors of violence and trauma through workshops over the next year,” said Monica Olen- root, WMRCC of Durham board president. Esther Enyolu, executive direc- tor for WMRCC of Durham, said the initiative provides an oppor- tunity for the organization to work with Herizon House and The Denise House. Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles praised the project. “The Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre of Durham is creating an atmo- sphere of comfort, growth and inspiration for many women in need,” she said. “This grant will enhance the capacity to create a culture of health and well-being, and thereby build healthier com- munities.” Girls Inc. of Durham received funding for its Mind and Body ini- tiative, and Big Brothers Big Sis- ters of Ajax-Pickering received funding for its Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds expansion project. “Programs like these provide more opportunities for residents of Ajax-Pickering to make health- ier choices and helps to keep our community growing stronger and healthier,” said Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, who accepted an Outstanding Service Award from Girls Inc. of Durham on behalf of the Province recently, in honour of Ontario’s continued support of the organization. The Healthy Communities Fund helps organizations deliver pro- grams promoting physical activity, healthy eating, injury prevention, tobacco control, mental health, sport and recreation, along with alcohol and substance abuse. The fund has supported 488 projects in Ontario since 2009.

AP PICKERING -- A teenaged girl was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle crash at a Pickering intersection Wednesday afternoon. Durham police closed the intersection of Concession 7 and Brock Road for several hours after the accident, which occurred at about 3:40 p.m. Police said a westbound van driven by a 46-year-old Toronto man was crossing Brock Road at Concession 7 when it was struck by a southbound pick-up. The 13-year-old girl, a passenger in the van, was taken to local hospital before being airlifted to a Toronto trauma unit with serious, life-threatening injuries, while the driver of the van sustained minor injuries. The pick-up driver, a 23-year-old Toronto man, was treated a the scene by paramed- ics. An investigation continues. Girl, 13, seriously hurt in Pickering crash A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions There is a positive side to USB key story To the editor: Re: ‘Lawyers the only winners in Durham USB class action’, editorial opinion, dur- hamregion.com, July 13, 2012. There is the positive spin and the nega- tive spin and it saddens me that you wrote such a negative editorial. The title is not only true but inevitable since a class action suit was launched. Lawyers being compensated for work done is not headlines and yes, once law- yers are involved, they win. I was one of the 79,000 who did not opt out, but when I read your front page coverage I was happy that, apparently, no one’s personal information was used or compromised in any way. That could have been the story -- a posi- tive spin, indeed. Exactly what type of com- pensation would you be suggesting should have been forthcoming? And yes, legal cor- respondence can be a source of anxiety, but again, a class action suit was launched, so legal correspondence was necessary. Our taxes might go up as a result. How much more would we have paid, one way or another, to cover damages should the case have ended with everyone being awarded an amount? Let’s get back to common sense and con- sider ourselves so lucky at how this whole situation has worked out. Nancy Logan Pickering Water bill increases outstrip inflation rate To the editor: As a business owner in Ajax for more than 25 years, I keep tabs on operating costs year over year. For all those trying to conserve water costs with low flow toilets and shower heads I did a quick rundown of the Region’s costs for the last seven years, with a comparison of the Canadian and Ontario inflation rate during the same period. Canada’s inflation rate averaged at 1.67 per cent per year from 2004 to 2011 for a total 11.7 per cent increase. Ontario’s inflation rate averaged 1.85 per cent during the same period for a total 13 per cent increase. Our Region’s rates have increased a aver- age of 9.36 per cent per year over the same period to a 65 per cent increase in your quarterly bill since 2004. Anybody out there making 65 per cent more in income since 2004? Gord Haughton Ajax Crone column offensive To the editor: Re: ‘Life changes, and love continues to grow’, Neil Crone column, durhamregion. com, July 12, 2012. In Neil Crone’s latest column, he describes his current family situation and says that change in life is good. He continues to ‘clarify his observa- tions’ and I quote: ‘Sh*t not so much ... but as Jesus (or was it Hitler?) said, you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs).’ In addition to this non-existent quote, I find it highly offensive to have Jesus, a man of peace, quoted in the same sentence as Hitler, a man responsible for millions of deaths. I am appalled how a local newspaper supposedly representing all faiths, races, sexual orientation, cultures, traditions, etc., allows such to be printed. I am the first to acknowledge and embrace freedom of speech but with this also comes respon- sibility. Perhaps Mr. Crone by using the ‘shock factor’ tries to draw attention to himself, as a writer, ‘actor’ or to his new children’s book. What a great example Mr. Crone. You’re the one with egg on your face. You and this publication owe the com- munity an apology. Rudy Heezen Sr. Whitby When you get behind the wheel this August long weekend, give driving your full attention. It’s a simple message, one instilled in every driver since they first sat behind the wheel, but unfortunately it is one many motorists feel they can ignore. In the past week, Durham police have conducted driving blitzes in both Clar- ington and Whitby and the results are astounding. At various intersections in Clarington, officers watched driver after driver mak- ing phone calls or texting. Police saw 24 drivers take their eyes of the road to dial a number or type a message. In Whitby during a three-day blitz, the numbers were just as bad. Police handed out 85 tickets with 48 of those for texting and talking on cellphones. The practice has been illegal since 2009 in Ontario and carries a fine up to $500. It’s obvious some people believe they are above the law and figure their expe- rience more than makes up for any con- cern about driving distracted. But who hasn’t been driving when they have turned their head just a bit to change a radio station or bent down to pick something up that has fallen off a seat? When your attention returns to the road the view in front of you can be vast- ly different than it was just seconds ago. Technology has changed the way we live our lives. Some people have to be connected to friends and family 24 hours a day. But that split second you take your eyes off the road to type out LOL could be the last time you communicate with a family member or friend again. While you’re driving, everything going on around you is a constantly shifting landscape, ready to spring the unexpect- ed on you that will require your imme- diate reaction, and you’re only going to get one chance to do it right. Driving demands your full attention. This August long weekend, when you turn the ignition key, put your cellphone down and leave it alone. If you do need to take a call or a text, pull over to the side of the road and do it safely. Durham cops will be out in full force this long weekend to enforce that mes- sage. Project Crush the Rush will see offi- cers at 10 of Durham’s busiest roadways watching for distracted drivers, speeders and aggressive driving. Be warned. If you get stopped, be thankful. It could have been far worse. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Texting when behind the wheel of a vehicle is a selfish act email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP Pre-registration is required Contact us at 905-240-4522 or 1-888-790-9414 www.durhamhospice.com durham hospice Companions through palliative transitions.

When you can take in some nature, spend time with the family, relax and enjoy life’s simplicities, it’s easy to understand why the cottage is often seen as a part of a uniquely Canadian experience. One thing that completes the cottage expe- rience is great food. Whether you like a good burger, some fresh greens in your salad or home-baked goods, quality eats can be the perfect addition to any northern excursion. Luckily Durham Region’s local food pro- ducers make delicious treats that are sure to cover all taste palates. On your road trip, stop by some of Durham Region’s local farmers, bakeries, gift shops and restaurants -- you’ll get to eat like a king or queen while you’re on holiday, while also supporting the local econ- omy. If you’re heading north from Oshawa, be sure to stop at White Feather Farm and Coun- try Store. They have so many tasty delights it’s hard to know where to start. For fans of baked goods, there’s a variety of buns, breads and pies in the bakery and tea room. White Feath- er’s apple fritters are my favourite. You can also find farm-fresh eggs, homemade pre- serves and jams for some early-morning fuel. White Feather Farm is located at 15 Raglan Rd. E. in Oshawa. For more information, call 905-655-4752. If you’re taking Lakeridge Road (Regional Road 23) up north, visit Hy-Hope Farms. The farm has a multitude of fresh fruits and vegeta- bles, jams and preserves. Hy-Hope also grows its own wheat and rye grains, and creates fresh baked goods (including their famous butter tarts and scones) at the on-farm bakery. For more information, visit www.hyhopefarm.ca. If Hwy. 115 is your artery to the north, make a stop at Algoma Orchards’ market in Newcastle. In addition to their own freshly- made apple cider, you can pick up fresh, local produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, special- ty foods and even a freshly made sandwich for the road. For more information, visit www. algomaorchards.com. For more information about the great tastes that Durham’s food producers offer, check out www.durhamfarmfresh.ca and www.dur- hamtourism.ca. Also be sure to follow @Dur- hamFarmFresh and @DurhamTourism on Twitter. Bon voyage. Kerri King is manager of Durham Tourism.

On August 6, 2012, the island nation of Jamaica will celebrate its 50th anniversary of independence. Jamaicans have extensive ties to Canada, many have settled in the region of Durham and continue to grow thriving businesses, while they share and celebrate their vibrant cultural heritage. A parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, with Britain’s Queen serving as the Jamaican monarch, Jamaica is the fourth largest island nation of the Greater Antilles and is home to more than 2.8 million people. Kingston is its largest city, with a population of 937,700, and remains its capital. According to the 2001 census, the majority of Jamaica’s population is of African descent. History Between 4,000 and 1,000 BC, The Arawak and Taino indigenous people, originating in South America settled on the island. By 1494, when Christopher Columbus arrived and claimed it for Spain, there were over 200 villages ruled by caciques (chiefs of villages). Once a Spanish possession known as Santiago, it became an English colony in 1655 under the name Jamaica. At that time, The Journal of Social History reports the population of Jamaica consisted of 4,500 whites and 1,500 blacks. However, as early as the 1670s, blacks formed a majority of the population. “During its first 200 years of British rule, Jamaica became one of the world’s leading sugar-exporting, slave-dependent nations, producing more than 77,000 tons of sugar annually between 1820 and 1824. Following a series of rebellions and changing attitudes in Great Britain, the nation formally abolished slavery in 1834, with full emancipation declared in 1838,” J. Donovan cites in Jamaica. Jamaica gradually gained increasing independence from the United Kingdom and in 1958, it became a province in the Federation of the West Indies Jamaica attained full independence by leaving the federation in 1962, drafting its constitution and enacting the Jamaica Independence Act, 1962. The islands current Prime Minister is Portia Simpson-Miller. Cuisine Spanish for dried meat, Jamaican “Jerk” spice forms a well known aspect of Jamaican cuisine. Though derived from African ancestry, it has been adapted and modified over centuries as various cultures added their influence. Jerk seasoning primarily relies upon two items: allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers. Most jerk in Jamaica is grilled over hardwood charcoal in a steel drum jerk pan while many forms of jerk can now be found at restaurants. Sport Sport is an integral part of national life in Jamaica and the island’s athletes tend to perform to a high standard especially for a small island nation. Since independence Jamaica has consistently produced world-class athletes. Music Though a small nation, Jamaican culture has a strong global presence. The musical genres reggae, ska, mento, rocksteady, dub, and, more recently, dancehall and ragga all originated in the island’s vibrant, popular urban recording industry. You will see these influences in today’s contemporary artists. With independence came the growth of sport, music and culture, which further developed this island nation. Be sure to explore the Jamaican influences within our own communities. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 1201316CN State Farm, Canadian Head Office,Aurora,Ontario Some things we all have in common.

MILT SOMMERVILLEMILT SOMMERVILLE Sales RepresentativeSales Representative CONGRATS JAMAICA ON THIS 5050thth Anniversary CelebrationAnniversary Celebration MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ian Brown is a black guy from Can- ada. And while that might not mean much to Canadians, the comedian and former Ajax resident says where he now lives and works as an urban planner, Baltimore, Md., it comes as a big surprise. “People in America don’t believe there are black people in Canada,” he laughs, thinking of the blank and shocked looks he gets when he says he’s Canadian. In fact, that’s the name he chose for his website, blackguyfromcanada.com, where you can check him out and see some vid- eos. The differences between the American and Canadian experience is something he talks about a lot in his act. And Brown says his American audiences eat up his remi- niscences about growing up in Ajax By the Lake, although he notes that in the U.S. when you say Ajax they think of the cleans- er. Still, Canada, so foreign to most Ameri- cans, fascinates them. “Any time I do a show people come up to me and they have really great things to say about Canada,” he says. “People want to find out more about Canada.” It’s understandable that we know a lot more about the U.S., given our neighbour to the south has a population 10 times as large. Brown is quick to point out “that’s the legal population of America -- add 30 or 50 million people” who are illegal immi- grants. Growing up in Ajax, he’ll joke, he was the only black kid around. “I start talking about how Black History Month in America is Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, now Barack Obama,” Brown says. “Where I come from it was all about me and my family moving into Ajax.” Complaining that the News Advertiser interviewer is stealing all of his lines, our response is he deserves it. Brown is a for- mer News Advertiser carrier and says a joke is in the works about those days when, he confesses, he would get another kid to deliver his papers and reward him with a Dickie Dee ice cream (which he got at a discount). Pulled over once by a Maryland State trooper, Brown notes “he was kind of pick- ing up on my accent. “‘You sound like I smell weed in your car’,” the cop quipped. Brown replied that he did not, inviting the officer to check his car. Perhaps realiz- ing what he’d just said, a glaring example of racial, perhaps verbal, discrimination, Brown says the cop back-tracked. “No, no,” he replied. “Your accent makes me suspicious.” Brown says American culture is far more homogenous and less toler- ant of, for example, alternative lifestyles than Canadian culture. Compared to Toronto and area, there’s no place to go if he wants a West Indian culture fix. Born in Toronto to Haitian and Jamaican parents, Brown arrived in Baltimore three years ago. He says he was always interested in theatre and the performing arts growing up here. He made a few forays onto local stages, including a gig in front of around 500 people at a church, who were merci- fully kind. “I think I bombed,” Brown says. “I know I bombed.” He’s not bombing in the DMV (Wash- ington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia area). Brown says he’s on stage around six nights a week and hosts Free Range Comedy once a month at Alewife, a Baltimore pub. He recently was featured for the second time on Capital Comedy Connection, a weekly half-hour show on local cable, and last year won the Magooby’s New Talent Competi- tion, “a big deal in these parts.” Brown’s figuring out if he wants to make his moonlighting job a full-time thing. “I have to see what kind of opportunities come about,” he says. “I’m really excited about it. The comedy stuff is fun. I want to see where it goes.” 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 2 10 AP Mike Ruta - Entertainment Editor • mruta@durhamregion.com Editorial OpinionsWhat’s On On in Ajax On in Durham Boots and Hearts Music Festival next weekend DURHAM -- The wait is almost over.

Multi-instrumentalist Martin Bonnie (Martin “Beef Barley” Soup), it states, was born in Area 51 and graduated from Roswell High School, class of ‘47. Huh? No doubt Stone Soup likes to have a good time. And they’re organizing a big one for Aug. 11 at the Oshawa Armoury. The band is hosting Bands For Brothers in Arms, a full day and night of music complete with a barbecue, door prizes and raf- fles. It’s a benefit concert for Wounded Warriors, a non-prof- it group that helps Canadian Forces members who have been wounded or injured since 1990 while serving Canada. As you might have guessed, it’s a cause near and dear to the band. “Our bass player, Mark, did a couple of tours in Afghanistan and works for the Wounded Warriors’ fund,” Bonnie says. “He’s still an active member of the Ontario Regiment.” The Courtice resident joined Stone Soup about a year ago and notes the band (the other mem- bers live in Oshawa) doesn’t play many paying gigs, prefer- ring to play in aid of charities. The music starts at noon and ends around 1 a.m., divided into afternoon and evening shows. The line-up features a variety of music styles, including rock, folk rock, pop, r and b and soul. The performers include guitarist Joe Poirier, an Ajax native with sev- eral albums under his belt, Rock and Roll Cowboys, a duo with one member from Uxbridge, Whitby’s Tamin’ Thunder, a number of Oshawa bands, including Time Well Wasted and V.M. Blues, and bands from Oakville, Toronto and Barrie. Finishing up the day and night of music is Toronto’s Easy Aces, billed as Toronto’s biggest party band. Bonnie said it didn’t take any coaxing to get the bands on board for the event. “They’re all playing for free,” he says. “They’re getting some food and some drinks and maybe some gas money, but that’s it.” Prizes and volunteers are still being sought and if you can help out, e-mail Bonnie at martin- bonnie@hotmail.com or call him at 905-448-0323. Tickets are $15 for an all-day pass or $10 for a half-day pass (noon to 6 p.m. or 6 p.m. to close). For tickets, call or e-mail Bon- nie or bandsforbrothersinarms@ gmail.com. You can also get tickets at the event website, bandsforbroth- ersinarms.org. “If it’s a success this year, we plan on doing it again next year,” Bonnie says.

The eclectic, rough-around-the-edges results have now been compiled into the summer-perfect Scrappy Happiness, the fifth Joel Plaskett Emergency record and Plaskett’s ninth.” Opening for Joel Plaskett is The White Buffalo, Jake Smith. Finally, it’s A Jimmy Rankin Christmas at the Regent on Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. “Caroling original songs from his brand new Christmas album mixed with a good dose of beloved hits, Jimmy serves up a night full of fun and yuletide cheer,” states a press release.

The two laser radial sailors are Robert Lalonde and Connor McNeil. Lalonde placed first at the Sarnia Sail fest qualifier. He is also the overall winner for the Steer- er’s regatta at Port Credit Yacht Club and Royal Canadian Yacht Club Open, and ranked sixth at the Canadian Yachting Association’s Sail Central held in Quebec. McNeil placed second at the Sarnia Sail fest qualifier and he placed second at the Steerer’s regatta and Four Sister’s regatta at Port Credit Yacht Club. Both sailors are coached by Tyler Rice and Chris Watters. The Ontario Summer Games are held every two years and invite the best of the province’s ath- letes in 25 sports to compete at the national level. These athletes are tomorrow’s Olympians and national athletes. One of the club’s optimist dinghy sailors, Max Daviau, was the overall winner for the optimist fleet at the Steerer’s regatta at Port Credit Yacht Club. He was ranked third overall (opti fleet) and first overall (Blue fleet) at the Canadian Yachting Association’s Sail Central in Quebec, and was a member of Team Canada that competed at the Sudamericano Campeonato (South American games) in Buenos Aires, Argentina last April in which the team placed fifth overall in optimist team racing. It was the highest ranking Team Canada has ever placed ever in any optimist competition. He is coached by Chris Watters.

Clarke Richardson grad accepts soccer scholarship to Oakland University BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Shawn Claud Lawson is excited about the proximity of attending Oak- land University, as it’s close to home, but not too close. While visions of California general- ly enter the mind by association, Oak- land University happens to be located in Rochester, Michigan. And while he’s on the phone describing his excite- ment, his mom is within earshot as he describes what he likes about the school he is going to spend the next four years at on a soccer scholarship. “That was one of the main things. Dis- tance. I wanted to be close to my fami- ly, but not too close,” he says of the five- hour trip by car that eliminates parents from stopping by unannounced. When asked if his mom is offended at such a statement, he laughs. “No, she’s smiling.” The 18-year-old midfielder started playing soccer at the age of three with the Ajax Warriors, working his way up through the system, culminating with scoring the game-winning goal for his Ajax Strikers in the gold medal game against St-Hubert, Quebec, at the 2011 U18 national championships. While he reached the provincial level with the U15 Ontario program, on the international stage, he was good enough to be a member of the Jamai- can team that competed in the U17 World Cup in Mexico. His inclusion followed in the footsteps of his father, who was a national senior team mem- ber for Jamaica, the native country for both parents. The experience of playing against the best players in the world is something he treasures. “It was good to play against different countries just to see how you match up with countries around the world,” he offers. Jamaica didn’t advance through the round robin, losing to Japan and Argen- tina, and playing to a draw against France. The prospect of heading off to the United States to combine athletics and academics started to enter his mind in Grade 9 while at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate. “I knew a lot of soccer players who got scholarships that were older than me,” he recalls. Some of the schools that contacted Lawson included Clemson, North Car- olina, Bucknell, Harvard, Colgate and Michigan. Topping the list were the University of Cincinnati and Oakland University. After a visit to both, the Michigan-based school won out over the one in Ohio. “It’s a really nice campus,” he says. “It’s a big school, but not too big. The coaches told me ‘You’re a big fish in a small pond.’” The Golden Grizzlies have an early fall schedule, which opens on Aug. 13 with an exhibition game against Valparaiso, and continues Aug. 17 against Bowling Green and Aug. 19 against Butler. The regular season will feature three games against teams who advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. Some of the more notable opponents include Duquesne, Michigan, Michigan State, West Virginia, Southern Methodist and Vermont. Over the years, the Oakland Universi- ty program has won 11 league titles and made five NCAA tournament appear- ances. Lawson, a five-foot-10 midfielder, will be enrolling in business courses as his choice of study. >Golden Grizzlies grab Lawson 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 2 13 AP JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Shawn Claud Lawson will be going to Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan on a soccer scholarship.

The event is at Woodlands Field, behind Dunbarton High School, located at 655 Sheppard Ave. in Pickering. Movie on the Pitch is a one-night event to raise the profile of special needs sports and to raise funds to help support the pro- gram. A raffle and silent auction will be held with such prizes as two signed soccer balls from players of the Canadian wom- en’s national soccer team and more. All the money raised will go directly to lower- ing costs for registered families, purchas- ing custom equipment, registration fees to enter tournaments and for teams to partic- ipate in special events. This year’s family-friendly event will have a barbecue, inflatable interactive games, face painting, a fire truck from the Pickering Town Fire Department and entertainment for children. The featured movie, Rio, is from the creators of Ice Age. Last year’s Movie on the Pitch fundraiser attracted more than 500 people from the community. The Special Needs Program was created by PSC in 2008 to address the lack of oppor- tunities for children and youth with intel- lectual and physical disabilities that par- ticipate in quality sports programs. In part- nership with Special Olympics, the Special Needs Program allows children of all abili- ties the simple pleasure of playing soccer. The program promotes self-esteem, self confidence and social skill development critical for these individuals. The benefits of the program extend beyond the children and towards fam- ily members and caregivers of these indi- viduals by providing them an opportunity to watch their children excel in sport and grow as a person. This offers them a chance to get involved within the community and impact the lives of other people and family members.
