MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Being out of the classroom might be good news for students, but it could mean bad news for their brains. A new study funded by Ontario’s Literacy and Numeracy Sec- retariat found that students can lose about a month of learning over the summer, with parents’ education playing a major role. Children of parents whose education stopped at high school lost a month or more of literacy skills over the summer, while children whose parents have bachelor degrees saw reading skills improve by a month. Children of parents with even more education gained up to two months.

She came to Canada from Jamaica about 20 years ago and says it is often a strug- gle to contend with negative stereotypes around issues such as crime and vio- lence. “A lot of people don’t know the real Jamaica, there is a beautiful culture with the music and the dancing and the food,” she said. “I am so proud to be Jamaican. Hearing our anthem here today, it makes me so happy.” Sunday’s festival featured a full lineup of live entertainment ranging from steel drummers to gospel singers. One of the performers who took to the bandshell stage was Dovie Rochester, who has been writing and performing her own reggae, soca and calypso music for the past 13 years. A native of Jamaica, she has lived in Canada for about 40 years but is still close to her roots. “Jamaica has such a rich culture of music, we bring that wherever we go and share it.” The lineup was set to cap off with a much-anticipated performance by head- liner Julian Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley. “Bob Marley is like a hero to me,” said aspiring musician Darius Clark, 17, of Pickering. The local teen’s parents are from Jamai- ca and introduced him to Bob Marley records when he was young. “I’ll never get to see (Bob Marley) like my parents did, but seeing his son play, it’s like the next generation of that legacy,” he said. The festival’s food tents were anoth- er main attraction, drawing long lines of people eager to sample jerk chicken, plan- tain chips, tropical fruit and sugar cane. Joan Jackson, one of the event organiz- ers, owns Ocho Rios, Oshawa’s only West Indian grocery store. She says an influx of West Indian immi- grants settling in Oshawa is creating demand for products like roti, jerk season- ing, hot sauces and hard-to-find fruits. “It makes people feel more at home when they can come to the store and find these things, they know there is a commu- nity here,” she says. Oshawa now has the third largest Jamai- can population in Canada with approx- imately 7,000 residents identifying as Jamaican-Canadians. Other special guests at the festival included keynote speaker Alvin Curling -- former Liberal MPP and speaker of the legislative assembly of Ontario -- Van- couver Olympic silver medallist Shelley- Ann Brown and Senator Arnold Nichol- son, the minister of foreign affairs and for- eign trade for Jamaica.

The youth, 17, has been released on strict conditions into the custody of his parents and a Toronto-area hospital, according to defence lawyer Selwyn Pieters. Terms of bail are “strict”, Mr. Pieters said. The decision came after a bail hearing Fri- day. The youth had been in custody since mid-July, when he was shot by Durham police responding to a report of an armed robbery in progress at a Pickering veterinary clinic. He’s charged with robbery using an imita- tion firearm, wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence and possession of a dangerous weapon. Evidence presented in court is subject to a publication ban and the young man’s identi- ty is protected under the Youth Criminal Jus- tice Act. Although there have been several court dates for the youth since the July 16 incident, he first appeared in person last Thursday. Prior to that he had participated from hos- pital by telephone. He spent several weeks recovering from wounds sustained during the incident. Mr. Pieters has said the young man has mental health issues that will be considered as his case proceeds. Youth shot by Durham police in Pickering released on bail> Pickering man arrested after police find guns, drugs PICKERING -- A 24-year-old man is facing charg- es after a search warrant resulted in police con- fiscating drugs and several weapons, including an assault rifle. During a search by police at a home on Side- line 4 in Pickering on Aug. 11, officers seized an AR-15 assault rifle, prohibited magazines for the rifle, various types of ammunition, a .357 Magnum handgun and quantities of oxycodone, cocaine, marijuana and MDMA, with a street value of nearly $4,000. Officers also seized almost $5,000 as pro- ceeds of crime. The search warrant was obtained after police received information during a separate investiga- tion that there may be weapons in the home. Spencer Isenore, 24, of Sideline 4 in Pickering, has been arrested and charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, possession of restricted firearm with ammunition, possession of a prohibited device and other weapons related offences. He was also charged with four counts of possession for the pur- pose of trafficking and other drug-related offences. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. McKinnon at 905-579-1520 ext. 2565. Anon- ymous tips can also be made online by calling 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca. Teen charged in Pickering groping incidents PICKERING -- Criminal charges have been laid against a teenaged boy accused of groping two women this summer in Pickering. Durham police launched an investigation after two women reported being inappropriately touched by a stranger -- the first incident on July 12 in the vicinity of Liverpool and Glenanna Roads, and the second Aug. 4 at Twyn Rivers and Woodview drives. In both instances the women were walking along the street at night when they were approached and groped by a stranger, police said. Police announced an arrest Friday morning. A 15-year-old Pickering male is charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of crimi- nal harassment. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

AU GUST 1 7 - 1 9 Ajax On Track aims to create 2,015 Ajax jobs by 2015 Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A new medical centre and job cre- ation campaign were both unveiled in Ajax recently. Ajax On Track, a campaign to create 2,015 Ajax jobs by 2015, was launched at the con- struction site of a future state-of-the-art medical centre. “Job creation and economic development are key components of a viable and sustain- able community,” Mayor Steve Parish said. “Since 2010, when council adopted the eco- nomic development and tourism strategy, the Town has focused on supporting exist- ing businesses to expand, while leveraging successes to attract new investment. Today’s launch indicates we’re on the right track.” The 80,000-square-foot medical develop- ment, currently called One Medical Cen- tre, will create 200 new jobs in the health care and human services sector. “Our new medical development offers physicians and patients a beautiful practice environment in the heart of Ajax,” said Jody Mangiardi from One Medical Centre. “We will have on-site medical lab, phar- macy, dentistry, optometry and other medi- cal services all in one unique spacious set- ting. The growing population and location within the GTA make Ajax an ideal location for this unique facility.” The facility will also feature walk-in, urgent care, physiotherapy, hearing, speech and fertility services, a pharmacy and more. The medical centre’s Rossland and Salem roads site will also house several commer- cial and retail properties, including a day care, Tim Hortons, Mr. Lube, Gold’s Gym and more. Commercial properties will begin opening in the coming weeks, with the medical centre pegged for completion by year’s end. Perlane Construction is developing the site in partnership with NHL player Mike Cammalleri. “It’s been years in the making, and I’m really excited to be here in Ajax,” Mr. Cam- malleri said. “In the summer, you just might catch me in here getting a workout or a cof- fee or medical treatment.” Ajax on Track will focus on creating posi- tions in manufacturing, business services, health care and tourism. The campaign’s website, www.ontrackajax.ca, offers resi- dents campaign information, updates and local job opportunities. The campaign is part of the Town’s 2010 economic development and tourism strate- gy, which has created 890 jobs so far. In 2010, 540 jobs were created, mostly in manufac- turing at companies including Lear, Mar- tinrea, Target Recycling, Acoustex, Plasti- glas, Environmental Factor, Heritage House Catering and Rouge Valley Heath System. In 2011, 350 jobs were created, mainly in manufacturing and business and IT ser- vices at companies including Target Recy- cling, Intact Insurance, Volkswagen Canada, DieMax and Lifestyle Sunrooms. In 2012, an estimated 500 jobs will be created in health and professional services, business and IT services, and manufacturing. Based on a theory that every new key sec- tor job creates four spin-off jobs in the ser- vice and commercial sectors, such as banks and grocery stores, Ajax expects its 2,105 key sector jobs will create 8,000 local spin-off jobs. One of the campaign’s next phases will involve an extended stay hotel to be built adjacent to the Hilton Garden Inn, 500 Beck Cres., by Ottawa’s Tasico Hospitality Group. Mayor Parish said he’s confident the cam- paign’s goal of creating 2,015 jobs by 2015 will be achieved. “That’s not just a gimmick, that’s not just a slogan, that’s a real goal that we’re going to accomplish,” Mayor Parish said. “I’m cau- tiously optimistic that we will exceed that.” Ajax unveils job creation campaign at future medical centre ron pieTroniro / meTroland AJAX -- The Town of Ajax unveiled plans for their On Track 2,015 Jobs by 2015 pro- gram at the site of the town’s first state-of-the-art medical development recently. Jody Mangiari, owner of One Medical Centre, spoke at the site at the corner of Salem and Rossland roads. The four-storey development will create 200 new jobs. > Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 2011 11 20122011Reader’sChoic e BRAM P T O N 35 %OFF CA SH A N D CA RRY INSTALLEDWINDOWS &DOORS20%VINYLWINDOWS F O R E V E R YNEEDAND E V E R YBUDGET, CUSTOM M A D E TO YO UR S P E C I F I C R E Q U I R E M E N T S .

I rarely cry. But things are changing and I blame it on getting older. This past weekend was a perfect example. When Christine Sinclair came out holding the Canadian flag during the clos- ing ceremonies of the London Olympics, the tears started. I couldn’t control it. Even while asking myself why I was crying, the tears flowed. When Christine appeared again, with one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen, I started again. When John Lennon appeared on a large screen singing Imagine, the tears started again. Sport editor Brian McNair, who was at the closing ceremonies, e-mailed me to say tears flowed on him when Ray Davies was singing. He too started getting choked up when Lennon’s image appeared. I can’t explain this sudden change in my emotions except to put it down to age. I’m past that magical 50 mark. I don’t feel any different. I still walk the golf course when I can and stay fairly active. But I have spots showing up on my body that weren’t there yesterday and more of my hair is starting to turn a greyer shade. Maybe this is the universe’s way of getting me ready for the events that usually happen later in our lives. My oldest son is heading off to Nova Scotia for university in two weeks. I’ve put on a brave face but I’m sure the tears will flow. If I’m lucky, within three years all three of my kids will be out of the house. By then, my mortgage should be paid off, freeing up money for my wife and me to start travelling and seeing the things we have only seen on TV. That will be emotional as well. Another milestone to celebrate. Working at a newspaper toughens you up. You tell a lot of bad and sad stories and after a while you become detached from them. But the universe has a way of balancing things out and lately I feel I’m its latest target. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is wondering when the waterworks will fire up next Family night controversy in Clarington a distraction Even when Covanta, the firm behind Clar- ington’s controversial incinerator, tries to do something nice, opponents seem happy to pile on and turn something that should be positive into something else entirely. Clarington Councillor Corinna Traill led the charge in criticizing Covanta for spon- soring a free outdoor movie night for fam- ilies in the community last Friday, saying she was deeply concerned about Covanta joining with the local conservation author- ity -- of which she is a board member -- to host the free event, a showing of the Disney movie The Lorax. However, Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority officials point out, quite properly, that the Covanta sponsorship was treated no differently than any other, and CLOCA’s Patricia Lowe noted that the spon- sorship agreement doesn’t commit the con- servation authority to an ongoing relation- ship with Covanta. Indeed, such ‘partnerships’ are often struck and are completed with one event, such as, for example, a movie night. Furthermore, if we were to extend the logic used in attacking the Covanta/CLOCA movie night, other corporations in Claring- ton and Durham -- Ontario Power Gen- eration, General Motors and other heavy industries that support and sponsor com- munity events -- would also be criticized for their investments in community-based out- ings and activities seeing as they, too, have their fair share of opponents. Residents have every right -- and have demonstrated on numerous occasions -- to oppose Covanta’s energy-from-waste facility operation. They have every right to express concern -- and have done so on numerous occasions -- about the impact of industry in their midst, whether an incin- erator, a nuclear generating station or an automotive manufacturer. But selectively attacking one corporation’s sponsorship effort while giving others a pass can’t be considered fair play. Coun. Traill’s position on Covanta has been well publicized and doesn’t require clarity. One must question the motivation behind this tempest in a teapot. Shovels are in the ground and the Cova- nta incinerator will soon be a reality. Resi- dents -- and some councillors -- must final- ly acknowledge that and turn their focus to ensuring that the firm is a responsible cor- porate citizen that lives up to its environ- mental obligations and doesn’t break any rules. Attacking Covanta for sponsoring a family movie night reflects more on those leading the charge than it does the corporation. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m I wonder if there’s anything more terrifying in this life than running out of dreams. I had a bit of a wake-up call recent- ly when it occurred to me that I had stopped dreaming. I had let myself run short on aspiration. That’s a dangerous development. For what gets us out of bed in the morn- ing, what drives us forward, what animates us with life force, if not our dreams? We are all born with an abundance of aspiration. One of the things that young children are champions of is day-dreaming. It comes as easy to them as breathing. Ask a little kid what he wants to be when he grows up and you will seldom hear, “I’d like to be immedi- ately forgettable,” or “I wanna live in fear most days,” or “I’m gonna be really angry.” I’m not judging any of those things. We’ve all been there. Life happens and choices are made. But I do think that most of us release a lot of our dreams far too early. And some of us stop dreaming altogether. I know. I stopped for a while. Or at least I toned my dreams down a good deal. Life will do that to us if we’re not vigilant, if we don’t actively and energetically hold on to and nurture our hopes and aspirations. It’s as though we are aircraft of some kind. When we are born we are as light as feathers and there seems no limit to the heights we can soar. But as we age, the mounting load of respon- sibility can threaten our ability to stay in the air. We feel gravity pulling us earthward and most of the time we choose safety over risk. Our first response then, is to lighten the load by chucking something overboard. All too often that something is our dreams. One by one we let them go, telling ourselves that this is what grown-ups do, that we are only being realistic, that we need to stop fooling our- selves. Sometimes it is not enough to abandon our own dreams and we begin to do it to our kids. How many parents, believing they were act- ing out of love, have steered their children away from the precipice of their passion onto more level, mundane ground? The imagination is like a muscle. If not used regularly it can and will atrophy. When I real- ized that I had let a lot of my dreams go, when I found myself ‘settling’ for a certain kind of life, certain expectations and outcomes that seemed right and normal for a man of my age and place, I made a decision to re-ignite my imagina- tion. I decided that each night as I lay in bed, just before sleep, I would imagine only the best for my life. I would envi- sion new frontiers for myself, new challenges, new delights and excite- ment. But as I attempted this I was shocked at how hard it was. I had difficulty in coming up with even the smallest things to aspire to. I could barely picture myself leading any other kind of life than the one I was currently familiar with. That’s when I realized how anemic I had let my imagination become. That’s when the alarm bells really started sounding. But the good news is that I’m get- ting better at it. The more I use it, the more it is responding, kindling that life spark until I can once again feel a fire in my belly. I realize now what I knew instinc- tively as a child. That fire is what keeps us alive. That fire is life itself. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

I have worked in and around Toronto for my entire career, and now face that “retirement” thing. For all my years covering spot news for various newspapers I have had at least one scanner monitoring emergency services in my car.At one point I had three, dedicated to fire, police and ambulance services. When the first scanners were developed, there were only available in the U. S. and I bought my first one in Buffalo in 1969. The ability to monitor emergency services gave me the information I needed to cover news stories across Ontario. To lose that tool because of paranoid officials in various municipalities is a sad statement on their relationship with the media. In all my years in the news business, the use of scanners by the media has never put a police officer’s or firefighter’s life in danger to my knowledge. I can’t speak for the use of scanners by hobbyists, but I’m sure ham radio operators know the rules on how intercepted radio traffic can be used. I too, was appalled by the rebroadcast of the last radio transmissions from the York Regional radio system when Const. Styles was killed. I hope news directors across Canada leaned something from that. Whenever I had information gathered from the airwaves, it was verified. During the 20 years I worked at the Sun, I developed a special relationship with EMS, showing their dedication to the citizens of the city I called home. I will assume that since these measures are being put into place to prevent us from knowing where “news” is happening, there will be no more media awards. As another gun tragedy has unfolded, the great hue and cry by politicians and police that “something” must be done. Here’s a radical idea: use some of the money you would put into encrypting radios to thwart the media, and use it to genuinely fight the scourge and gangs and guns. -- Bill Sandford, London, Ont. 10.

I think if they realize that early, they’ll always want to read and learn more.” This is the fourth year the boys have participated in library’s sum- mer reading programs at the library, which offer activities and incentives to encourage reading and reward kids’ efforts. “It’s fun and exciting to read because you learn about things that are real and other things that are mystical,” said Bobby, 10. Nick, 12, credits reading with enhancing his imagination and expanding his vocabulary, and is looking forward to spending the more than $200 in library bucks he’s earned in the Teen Summer Reading Club at the club’s upcom- ing auction. “It’s exciting because books don’t have to be based in real life, it’s interesting to read about things that could never happen,” Nick said, noting he often writes his own stories based on characters from books. “When you’re a writer you get to use your imagination to create your own story.” For more information about the library’s summer reading pro- grams, visit www.picnet.org or call 905-831-6265. Summer reading factS A reading gap of a few months in Grade 1, if it continues, can leave students a whole year behind their peers by Grade 3, and the amount that children read for pleasure has been found to be a major factor in future reading achievement. Sarah West, children’s librarian at the Pickering Public Library, offers some tips to get kids interested in reading: - Let kids choose what books they read - Read with your child - Seek out reading programs such as the Summer Reading Club, which offer moti- vation and rewards for reading, or come up with your own system - Don’t make reading a chore - Focus on time spent reading rather than amount, many children will feel bet- ter achieving a 15-minute-per-day goal instead of struggling to finish a certain amount of books per week Library reading programs include the Imagine TD Summer Reading Club, which is open to children 4 through 12 years old and offers a free poster, activity book and recording book. Members can enjoy cool programs, games and activi- ties and are eligible for prizes including a Playstation Vita. For kids 12 and over there’s the Teen Summer Reading Club. Members earn library bucks for reading, which they can spend on prizes including an Ipod touch, Playstation Vita and Chapters gift cards.

Ensure electric stove elements and small appliances are off or unplugged,to prevent fires from starting when the electricity is restored. Electrically-connected smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms will not work when the power is out, unless they have battery back-ups. Make sure you have spare battery operated smoke alarms to install outside sleeping areas, in the event of a power outage.

Everything in between the opening and clos- ing ceremonies, well, it pretty much rocked, too. Given the plum assignment of covering the Games in and around London, I went in both nervous and excited, knowing it was the chance of a lifetime, but also knowing the task at hand was a daunting one, with more than 100 Ontario athletes of some interest and nine from Durham Region of great interest to cover for our readers. I will leave both tired and exhilarated, but mostly inspired by these amazing ath- letes. Outside of my work commitments, I went in with two primary goals: to see Michael Phelps swim and Usain Bolt run. Check and check. I can now say I saw two of the greatest athletes of all time not only com- pete, but also win gold medals. As much as I was thrilled to have done that, however, it meant so much more to see and speak to our own Durham athletes, even if they rarely stepped onto the podium. Their stories are oftentimes more compel- ling, even if they don’t end up at the end of the rainbow. Take Candace Chapman, for example. The 29-year-old Ajax soccer player, looking for more after having lost out in the quarter-finals four years ago in Beijing, went down with what seemed to be a tournament-ending calf injury in the very first game. She ended up being the lone Durham athlete to land a medal, however, and did so in story- book fashion, shunning the pain and return- ing to the field for the final 10 minutes of the bronze medal game, just in time to be part of the one-goal celebration. Brooklin’s Emily Batty displayed a similar amount of grit and determination, completing a gruelling mountain bike cross country race with a freshly broken collarbone and ribs, and admitting afterward her heart was broken by the timing of it. There’s no doubt in these eyes she will be back and challenging for a medal four years down the road in Rio. It was a heartbreaking trip as well for Port Per- ry’s Michele Mueller, who one day was thrilled at making her Olympic debut, at 48 no less, and two days later delivering the sad news that her horse, Amistad, would be retiring from compe- tition due to an injury suffered in the equestri- an cross country race. But surely these Games helped mend the heart of her teammate, Jessica Phoenix of Uxbridge, who missed out on her Olympic dream four years ago due to, yes, an injury to her horse. She lived the dream this time around and was excellent after a rough opening day of dressage, by far the best of the Canadian even- ters. Similarly, Kristina Vaculik, a Whitby gymnast I’ve been covering since she was about eight, found redemption in London after narrow- ly missing out on Beijing. She has since gone though elbow surgery and started a scholar- ship at Stanford University, but has let neither, nor anything else for that matter, deny her this time around. The fact she was part of an histor- ic fifth place finish with Canada’s artistic gym- nastics team was icing on the cake. Another local gymnast, Ajax’s Alexandra Lan- dry, has sacrificed her schooling as well, train- ing as many as nine hours a day for two years in Vaughan in order to perfect the difficult and eye-catching routine she and her teammates performed here. Kerri-Ann Mitchell’s Olympic debut lasted all of 11.49 seconds, as she failed to advance out of the 100m heats, but the 29-year-old Pickering resident was as happy as could be afterward, and optimistic she would be back for more in four years. An Olympic encore, and improvement, is surely in store for Pickering’s Nikkita Holder, 25, and Whitby’s Kelita Zupancic, 22. Holder was all smiles after advancing to the 100m hurdles semifinals in a stacked field, but understandably not so much after bowing out in those semis. She had little interest in looking so far down the road as Rio, but the truth of the matter is she should be peaking right around that time. Zupancic drew a tough opponent, the No. 1-ranked judoka in the world for her weight class, and held the match scoreless till near the end, when she lost by ippon. She will no doubt use the knowledge and disappointment gained here to drive her towards more in Rio. So, on the surface perhaps, just one medal from nine Durham athletes might seem like a disappointment to some. Not so for me. It was a privilege getting a chance to see them at their best, and talk to them about their magnificent journeys. Now, it’s time for me to roll.

As a member of Swimming Canada’s junior national team, Gilchrist and his teammates will compete against 18-and- under swimmers from two of the world’s top swimming nations, the United States and Japan. This meet is the highest priority activ- ity being offered by Swimming Canada’s junior national development program this year. The goal statement, provided by Swim- ming Canada’s junior national head coach Ken McKinnon, is simple: “To provide Can- ada’s identified swimmers and their coach- es, the development opportunities to estab- lish the will, attitude, and skills required to race to the podium at the Senior Interna- tional level.” This will be the seventh edition of the Junior Pan Pacs and Canada has attended all since its inception. In 2009, in Guam, the team had their best ever results, win- ning one gold, three silver and seven bronze medals. In 2010, in Maui, Canada won three silver and four bronze. This season’s team will look to improve on the 2009 results and make a bold statement heading into a new quadrennial. Gilchrist was selected for his perfor- mance in the 100m freestyle at Summer Nationals in Edmonton, where he swam to a new best time of 52.22. The follow- ing weekend in Calgary, competing at age group national championships, he lowered his best time again, swimming to a 52.03. Gilchrist will compete in a broad range of events, including the 50 freestyle, 100 free- style, 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. He will also participate in the 4x100 and 4x200 freestyle relays. The team will take part in a 10-day train- ing camp in Vancouver before travelling to Hawaii for the competition, which will be held from August 23-26. Ajax coach Matt Bell was selected as a member of the Swimming Canada staff for this tour but declined the opportuni- ty in order to coach at Ajax Swimming’s Champ Camp which runs for four weeks in August. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX --Alexandra Landry, of Ajax, represented Canada in rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympic Games in London. ‘Crazy’ Olympic experience Alexandra Landry helps Canadian rhythmic gymnastics team to 11th place finish BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com LONDON, ENGLAND -- The Olym- pic experience was everything it was cracked up to be for Ajax’s Alexandra Landry and the rest of Canada’s rhyth- mic gymnastics team, even if it ended after the minimum two days. Making the country’s first team appearance in the sport at an Olympic Games Thursday and Friday at Wemb- ley Arena, the Canadians did manage to pass the host Great Britain team on the second day of qualifying, and fin- ish 11th of 12, but they were not among the eight teams to advance to Sunday’s final. They went in with the hope of reach- ing that final, although they knew it would be difficult considering the six team members have been together for only two years and some of the Europe- an powers have been at it for a lot lon- ger. Landry, 18, admitted the team was a little in awe at first, but settled in nicely by Friday. “Crazy, crazy,” she said of the experi- ence overall. “It’s a lot to take in at first. You try to mentally prepare yourself but it’s even bigger than you think it is, so the first day we got here we were just a little bit overwhelmed. The nerves kicked in a little on the first day, but then the second day, we were strong and ready to go for our second routine.” Landry was an alternate for the first day, the five ball routine, as teammates Rose Cossar, Anjelika Reznik, Anasta- siya Muntyanu, Kelsey Titmarsh and Katrina Cameron managed a score of 24.050, just behind Britain’s 24.150. She was part of the second day, how- ever, replacing Cameron for the three ribbon and two hoops routine, and helped Canada squeak past the fan favourites with a score of 23.975 on Fri- day, good ultimately for a narrow .025 advantage on the British team. Landry admitted the Canadians are not in the same class as powerhouses Russia, Italy and Belarus. “Yes, they are,” she said when asked if those teams were as good as the judges deemed them to be. “If you look at the stuff that they do, it’s incredible, no one else can really do it. That’s why they’re at the top. They’re definitely great.” The six Canadians have been training together under coaches Svetlana Jou- kova and Tatsiana Kastsenkava at the Kalev Rhythmic Gymnastics Club in Vaughan. Only Cossar, a 21-year-old Toronto nursing student, is beyond her teens, meaning they do have the potential to grow together, but school and other varying interests could make that a challenge through the next Olympic cycle. “If the same team stays like this, the same girls, I would like to continue, but we don’t know what’s going to happen,” Cossar said of the prospect of being together four years down the road. Landry, a student at Ecole Secon- daire Catholique St. Charles-Garnier in Whitby, still has some courses to com- plete before deciding on her future, but she too sounded both optimistic about the prospect of the team staying togeth- er, and dubious as well. “We’ll see. You never know what hap- pens in this sport,” she said, adding her belief that they could gain ground on the field if they were to continue on. “For us we’ve only been together for two years, so if we continue together four more years, we can definitely reach that level.” > 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 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 18 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 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP 12th Annual August198am to 4pm Bond and Center Streets.Several loaner cars available.

Broken collarbone spoils Batty’s Olympic debut Mountain bike rider finishes 24th overall Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregon.com ESSEX, ENGLAND -- Emily Batty wasn’t about to come this far and let her Olym- pic dream die, not without giving every ounce of her strength. Unfortunately, a broken collarbone suffered August 7 in training proved to be too much for the 24-year- old Brooklin competitor, who finished 24th out of 30 on a disappointing Satur- day for the Canadian wom- en’s mountain bike team at Hadleigh Farm, east of Lon- don in the Essex country- side. Batty confirmed after the race that she had suffered a fracture in her right clavicle -- word from family back home was that she may also have a broken rib -- and that it affected her descents more than she imagined it might on the treacherous man-made course. She held herself together well during a brief media scrum afterward, but she didn’t hide from the disap- pointment. “How am I feeling?” she repeated the first question. “I’m feeling like my heart is broken. I’ve trained two years for this day and my coach, who’s also my fiance (Adam Morka), put every ounce of energy into me, as I have for myself .... To be dealt the cards I was given four days ago, it was defi- nitely a challenge. I went through all the emotions, but I was extremely strong.” This was an event Cana- da was expected to do very well at and perhaps deliver a medal or two. Catharine Pendrel, a 31-year-old resident of Kamloops, came into the race as the defending world champion and seeded sec- ond, while Batty was seed- ed seventh and had won a World Cup silver medal this season. Pendrel challenged early and was as high as second at one point, but faded and finished ninth, while Batty was never in contention and did well just to finish the gruelling race in a time of 1:40:37, nearly 10 min- utes back of winner Julie Bresset of France. “My head’s not broken, my legs are not broken, my heart is broken, but I was able to climb, I was able to race,” Batty said. “I was not able to descend very well and at the Olympics you need to have 200 per cent on your side and if you’re lacking anything, some- times that’s how the day goes. I was only descending maybe at my 10-per cent capability.” Batty did well simply to reach this Olympics, being nominated ahead of Que- bec’s Marie-Helene Pre- mont, a two-time Olympi- an who won a silver medal in the Athens 2004 Games. Young, talented and determined, Batty admitted before leaving for London that she would like to com- pete in at least two more Olympic Games down the road. But, while here, her focus was on these Games, and she wasn’t about to be denied the experience. “I’m extremely proud to be here for Canada, and I wanted to learn as much as I can despite the cards I was given,” said Batty, who was given the green light to compete by the Canadian medical team. “Despite the circumstances, I was not going to not compete here, no matter what. You know, a Canadian is all about strength and pride, and that’s exactly what I came into this race with. I didn’t want to let any of my fans down. I felt I was strong enough to compete.” Mike ridewood / coc LONDON -- Emily Batty, of Brooklin, competed in the women’s mountain bike at the Olympic Games. 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 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 20 AP AUGUST 15TH 2012 We dnesday Flyers Carrier of the We ek If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.Hours:Mon.-Fri.9 -6:30 Sat.9 -1:00 Yo ur Carrier will be around to collect an optional delivery charge of $6.00 every three weeks.

General manager and head coach Mike Galati is looking forward to turning the page and starting fresh with the Panthers, as veterans and prospects hit the ice at the Ajax Community Centre for a pair of intra- squad games on Wednesday and Thursday before the first round of releases are made. Those left after the initial cutdown will see some exhibition action on the weekend, with the Panthers hosting Stouffville on Friday at 7 p.m. in Ajax, before completing the home-and-home Sunday afternoon in Stouffville. Galati is back, this time with the dual role, after being fired last season by then-owner Rob Stein. When new owner Steve Tuch- ner bought the team from Stein at season’s end, Galati was re- instated. Tuchner and Galati have been hard at work since, trying to change the perception of the organization. “You could see people were a little tenta- tive at first, but Steve did a lot to help ease that,” says Galati of the effort to alter the reputation of the Panthers. “People know we are tying to do things different and that things are going to be better.” To that extent, a spring camp that attract- ed a number of young prospects served as an introduction to the new philosophy, and the club’s dressing room received an overhaul. On the ice, Galati expects six or seven forwards from last year’s roster to return, as well as a couple of defencemen. In goal the Panthers have some stability in Spencer Bacon, who has an agreement to attend Mercyhurst to play for the NCAA Division-I Lakers in 2013. “I am extremely excited for the opportunity to play for the Mercyhurst Lakers. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to play NCAA Division-1 hockey and study at a fine academic insti- tution like Mercyhurst University,” said Bacon on the team’s website. Having been through last year’s camp with the Panthers, Galati didn’t plan to change a whole lot with structure or his approach. He knows what he’s looking for in the intra-squad and exhibition games. “I want to see kids who compete,” he says of the top priority. Helping him with the process will be assistant coaches Phil Barski and Dan Sul- livan. The Panthers will continue working out for training camp at the Ajax Community Centre until Sept. 1 when they will switch over to their home rink at the Pickering Recreation Complex. > Pickering Swim Club finishes season in the U.S. BUFFALO, NEW YORK -- Pickering Swim Club’s head coach Anne Ottenbrite-Muy- laert took 13 qualified Pickering Swim Club athletes to compete at the Niagara Long Course Classic at the University of Buffalo in New York. This was a very competitive and fast swim meet with a total 385 swimmers rep- resenting 44 swim teams. Most swimmers swam for clubs in the United States with a few teams from Ontario. Swimmers swam in open individual events, meaning swim- mers of all ages competed against one another. Finals were for the top 24 swimmers in each event based on fast morning prelim times. Finalists from the Pickering Swim Club included: Jacob Dosen (15 yr.) -- male 200 breast- stroke (2:41.17, 19th) Alex Lee (14 yr.) -- female 200 breast- stroke (2:53.25, 10th) Emily Mayer (16 yr.) -- female 100 back- stroke (1:08.68, 17th) Warren Mayer (13 yr.) -- male 100 breast- stroke (1:15.74, 16th) Amy Smith (14 yr.) -- female 200 breast- stroke (2:50.79, 18th) Hollie Smith (17 yr.) -- female 100 breast- stroke (1:17.67, 8th), 200 breaststroke (2:49.14, 10th) Meghan Toswell (18 yr.) -- Female 200 Freestyle (2:12.22, 21st) Other notable mentions include personal bests in individual events for the following swimmers: Danielle Cornacchia (14 yr.) taking 0.03 seconds off her 50 freestyle (29.59) Jacob Dosen (15 yr.) taking off 2.02 sec. off his 400 freestyle and 0.41 sec. off his 100 freestyle (57.35) Kent Leng (16 yr.) taking off 19.13 seconds off his 800 freestyle (9:23.64), 1.56 sec. off his 400 freestyle (4:29.60) Alison Russell (18 yr.) taking off 0.82 sec- onds her 100 backstroke (1:11.95) Meghan Toswell (18 yr.) taking off 13.62 seconds off her 800 freestyle (9:38.91). 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 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 21 AP Discover a Richer, More Rewarding Future DISCOVERIMPROVEACHIEVE 1-888-806-1856 Call Today!
