Residents spoke out about their vision for the new national park during a public information session hosted by Parks Canada Aug. 14 at Pickering City Hall. “Our concern is that ecological health seems to be one of a mix of different values for the park,” said Dave Pearce, of the CPAWS Wildlands League. “We would like to see that elevated to be the prior- ity. Everything should build to one focus of ecologi- cal health.” Pam Veinotte, superintendent of the Rouge Nation- al Urban Park, assured residents they would be involved in shaping the new park. “We want to build a solid foundation for our new national urban park; this is the start of a conversa- tion we hope to have with all of you as we move for- ward,” Ms. Veinotte explained. The park’s existing infrastructure, which includes built roads, sewage and other pipeline infrastruc- ture, agricultural operations and private lands, poses a unique challenge for Parks Canada and requires a new park concept that confirms the organization’s conservation mandate while permitting existing infrastructure. “This is a very exciting initiative, this area stands to have something brand new and innovative,” Ms. Vei- notte said. “In our concept we’ve outlined three main ways we will be managing the park, which include the actual park lands, agriculture and infrastructure and built assets. We’re not looking at any of these in isolation, we must take a very integrated approach.” Some residents expressed concern with the “urban” designation and the park’s tagline, “a people’s park,” stressing that the park remain natural. “I think the focus should be on retaining the park’s wild quality as much as possible,” said Pickering res- ident Alec Prior. “While hiking or enjoying the park I’ve never heard anyone say wouldn’t it be nice to have a concert here, or a bigger picnic area, or baseball fields. This area is inundated with those types of facilities, there’s lots of parks for people who just want to have a picnic.” Other concerns included traffic and construction issues regarding planned infrastructure such as a visitors’ centre, requests for a new entry point on the east side of the park and a suggestion that more Pickering land be included within park boundar- ies. Ms. Veinotte said there were no current plans for expansion. The public commenting period on the new park will continue through Sept. 16. Residents can find information about the park, including a map of the study area, online at www.parkscanada.gc.ca/rouge. Questions, comments and ideas can be submitted online through the site’s public involvement sec- tion.

Tr ailer may not be exactly as shown Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An HIV-positive youth pastor accused of attempting to lure a 15 year old into a sexual encounter has been granted bail. Kris Gowdy, 42, has been placed under strict bail conditions by justice of the peace Martha Degannes, including being in the direct com- pany of one of his parents at all times. Mr. Gowdy was arrested on Thursday, Aug. 9 after a man showed up at a pre-arranged meeting with who he thought was a 15-year- old boy, Durham Regional Police report. But, the person he was corresponding with online was an undercover police officer and the man was arrested when he showed up at a resi- dence. Mr. Gowdy has been charged with luring a child via computer and attempted aggravat- ed sexual assault. He appeared in court Tues- day in handcuffs and leg shackles and wear- ing a grey T-shirt, shorts and running shoes. Mr. Gowdy didn’t look at his parents when he entered the courtroom. In addition to his parents, others in the courtroom included Mr. Gowdy’s brother, sis- ter, church officials and family friends. Bail conditions imposed by the court include Mr. Gowdy be at home every night, be in the company of one of his parents at all times, not go near parks, schools, daycare centres or anywhere children under 16 might be, cannot have a job where he’s in a position of authority over anyone under 16, he can’t use a computer, cellphone or other electron- ic device, he can’t possess any sort of firearm, he has to surrender his passport and remain in Ontario. He must also makes himself available with- in five minutes at the front door of his parents’ Newcastle home if police check up on him. Mr. Gowdy had been working as a youth pastor in Saskatoon when he returned to his parents’ home. A former pastor at Trulls Road Free Methodist Church, he wasn’t working as a youth pastor at the Courtice church at the time of his arrest. He had been in Saskatoon for three years. A statement released by the church stated, “Let us state at the outset that we had no indi- cations of inappropriate behaviour by Kris either while at Trulls or during his service as a youth worker or pastor. We have conferred with Bishop Keith Elford and appreciate his guidance at this time. He has indicated that no complaints against Kris (or even rumours) have been received by the Free Methodist Church in Canada.” Mr. Gowdy had been a youth pastor at the Courtice church, leaving in August 2009. “On Friday, Aug. 10, 2012, we were sad- dened and shocked to hear of the recent charges brought against Rev. Kris Gowdy. We want to offer our prayers, love and support to all the Gowdy family at this time. These kind of accusations are never easy for us to pro- cess as a church body,” the church statement noted. He’s to appear in court again on Monday, Aug. 27.

THE ANNUAL KIA DRIVE CHANGE DAY TUESDAY, AUGUST 21ST Robbery, stabbing leave Durham police searching for three suspects DURHAM -- An 18-year-old man was stabbed in the neck and robbed of a cell- phone Tuesday in Ajax. Durham police say the teenaged victim advertised a cellphone for sale online, and attended a home in the Harwood Avenue and Taunton Road area around 9:30 p.m. Aug. 14 to meet a prospective buyer. While two males reportedly examined the phone, a third male appeared and stabbed the victim, police said. The three males are said to have fled after the victim threatened to phone police. The victim was taken to hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening inju- ries. Police canvassed the area with a K-9 unit but were unable to locate the suspects. The first suspect is described as male, black, approximately 18 years old, with a thin build, wearing a black shirt and pants. The second suspect is described as male, black and wearing a thick, black, hooded jacket. No description is available for the third suspect. Anyone with information relating to this case is asked to contact Detective Dan McKinnon at 905-579-1520 extension 2565. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers online at www.durham- regionalcrimestoppers.ca, or by calling 1-800-222-8477. Tips leading to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Teen stabbed over cellphone in Ajax> DURHAM -- A 19-year-old Richmond Hill man has been arrested in conjunction with a home invasion in Ajax earlier this month. Officers with Durham Regional Police arrested a man at a home on Coates Crescent in Richmond Hill Friday night. Police also seized more than $20,000 in marijuana during the search. On Aug. 2 around 12:45 p.m., several men entered a home on Makin Court in north Ajax, assaulting an 11-year-old boy. Police believed four men entered the home and fled the area in a car driven by a fifth suspect. The 19 year old was arrested without incident and police seized 1,346 grams (2.9 pounds) of marijuana. Aref Motadel Erfani has been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon and possession for the purposes of trafficking. He was held for a bail hearing.

A new video on the Durham Regional Police Service website (www.drps.ca), and at www.durhamregion.com called ‘Colli- sion Course: Durham Top 10 Dangerous Driving Behaviours’, depicts some of the common -- and potentially dangerous -- driving practices that so often lead to col- lisions, personal injury and worse on Dur- ham Region’s roads and highways. Not surprisingly, it is speeding, tailgat- ing and distracted driving that most often lead to collisions; driving practices that are commonly seen, but which are also entire- ly within our own control. Police officials provide narration in the video, which includes statistics and police commentary on various examples of haz- ardous driving. Tailgating, for instance, results in hundreds of collisions annual- ly that are investigated by Durham traffic officers. Constable Brett Rayne of the force’s traf- fic services unit asserts that 80 per cent of traffic fatalities are avoidable. And those in Durham who are responsible for traffic enforcement will attest that anything can happen once a collision begins to unfold and the laws of physics takes over. Metal accordions, doors can be forced open, windows shatter, vehicles can roll and unsecured occupants can be ejected in a split-second impact. These same men and women who patrol our streets to monitor motorists and enforce our laws are also those who are witness to the life-altering consequences of such collisions. Take a moment to visit the DRPS web- site and durhamregion.com and view the video to refresh your memory and rein- force safe driving practices. We all want to get to work and home safely to focus on the vitally important things that make our lives meaningful and rewarding. This latest attempt by Durham Regional Police Service officials to take the safety message online -- combined with ongo- ing campaigns and blitzes to promote road safety and enforce existing rules -- is a timely and fitting tactic. How does your driving stack up? Are you making a conscious common-sense driving decisions when you’re behind the wheel? Check out the video today at durhamre- gion.com in a bid to brush up on good driv- ing practices, avoid collisions and ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers and other road users in Durham. Suicide awareness campaign in need of support It’s 11:48 p.m. and instead of going to sleep, compulsion has driven me to my lap- top. I keep thinking of an old friend, an on-again, off-again high school fling who I haven’t seen in years and will never see again. Like many who knew him, I keep thinking of the last time I saw him -- I think I was 20. He was happy. He always seemed happy. He was walking down to a Newcastle bar still known by many as The Hole in the Wall, even though it hasn’t held that name in years. I pulled over to drive him the rest of way while on my way home from work at Oshawa This Week. That was it, the last time I saw him. Getting out of my car after a 30-sec- ond drive downhill. And I was fine with that. Life went on and periodically, like all friends of the past, he’d pop into my head every now and then, usually around Christmas when I’d be put- ting up the small artificial tree my husband and I bought when we first got married. Sometimes, I’d catch myself remembering a phone con- versation with this once-upon-a-time friend in which we debated the value of an artificial tree versus real -- my argument was of course for the real tree. Ironically, mine is artificial. So, why am I sitting here, wide awake and not completely dry eyed at 11:58 p.m., thinking about someone who rarely crossed my mind over the last decade? Well, it’s because no matter how temporarily someone enters your life, the world always seems smaller when you know they’re gone. Soon after I joined Facebook more than a year ago, I saw a posting of condolences on his wall. He had killed himself. The last posting by him asks if anyone wants a dog. It’s still there, haunting the page in cyberspace, acting as a venue for those still hurting to leave their thoughts on the recent anniversary of his death. It is sad when someone dies, but when it’s by their own hand, it’s even more bewildering and hurtful. Which is why it’s so important for people to throw their support behind people like Ashley Gilbank, who is in-line skating across Canada to raise money for youth mental health programs. This September, I will be participating in a five-kilometre run/walk for suicide awareness in Whitby and I know who I will be thinking about. When someone takes his or her own life, people will always won- der if there was anything they could have done to stop it, but who knows how many people have been silently stopped through awareness and support programs already, and how many more can still be saved? -- Crystal Crimi is managing editor at the Northumberland News and The Independent 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 6 , 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 1 6 , 2 0 1 2 7 APAPPLIANCES MATTRESSESFURNITUREELECTRONICS *Nooo Interest, Nooo Payments & Nooo Exceptions OAC with a Bad Boy credit card account. 18 Month No Payment No Interest (Same as Cash) Promotional Offer - No Payments are required during the promotional period.

Scan this QR code for video of this week’s adopt-a-pet on our Kristen’s Kritters blog DURHAM -- Cicadas buzzing, crickets chirping, berries ripening ... We’re in the midst of it. Full summer, nature’s peak of produc- tion. With so much growth and life teeming all around us, the best thing to do at times is just sit under a tree and try to take it all in. I had the opportunity to do that last week, one hot afternoon in farm country. There was a slight breeze rising up over a hill, and when it reached the fence row where I was sitting, it shook the leaves of the trembling aspens above my head, setting them quivering. I lay back in the shade and gazed up at the cumulus clouds building in the hazy sky, high above those fluttering leaves, and thought about how rain and sunshine and chlorophyll magically mix to produce food for all creatures on Earth. Yes, every one of us -- what would carnivores do without herbivores? As I lay there, musing about how each of those million aspen leaves was working away, capturing energy from the hot August sun, I started wondering what benefit they derived from all that shaking. Why do trembling aspens and other trees of the poplar persuasion flutter their leaves? Doing so must pro- vide some evolutionary advantage, or this very successful pio- neering species may have died out long ago. Instead, trembling aspens have the most widespread distribution of any tree species in North America, and are a major component of the boreal for- est, which covers a third of Canada. Their Eurasian relatives enjoy similar success in temperate regions overseas. I know how the trembling happens. Each aspen leaf stem is ellip- tical instead of round -- relatively flat on two sides. Maybe all that fluttering allows more leaves exposure to sunlight? That was my first thought as I started researching the topic. To my surprise, tree experts theorize the trembling might instead be protecting leaves from getting too much sunlight, especially high in the mountains, where many quaking aspens grow. Or ensuring a steady supply of carbon dioxide, a prime ingredient in photosynthesis. But recently a clever young botanist wondered if fluttering leaves might be a strategy to avoid parasites. She carried out a study where she secured many aspen leaves with tubing to keep them from moving, and found that 27 per cent more of the motionless ones were parasitized. The main reason our tough but beautiful quaking aspens are so successful has to do with their resistance to fire. Their chief means of reproduction is by cloning, with new trees sprouting from lat- eral underground roots that send up suckers. If the roots aren’t scorched in a forest fire, they soon recolonize a burn.

Trembling aspens leaves one wondering why Kristen’s Kritters to the rescue Dog reunited with owner after being stolen KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- I haven’t done many hero- ic acts in my life, but did I ever feel like a hero last week when a stolen dog was reunited with his owner, thanks in part to Facebook, a couple of municipal staffers and Kristen’s Kritters. A panicked Toni Stephen called the newsroom after her dog was stolen from her front lawn last Wednesday. She and Carson, her 11-year-old shih tzu, were on their usual morning rou- tine; she was chatting with a neighbour and Carson ran off to his favourite bush on the front lawn of the Whitby resi- dence to do his business. And suddenly, he was gone. Another neighbour reported she saw a young woman pull over in her car, pet the dog, and before she knew it, the young woman picked Carson up, put him in the car and drove off. “I’m devastated,” the tearful owner said on the phone Thursday morning. Toni had reported it to police and called local animal shelters and vets but nobody had spotted the dog. Meanwhile, I posted Carson’s photo on my Kristen’s Kritters Facebook page so people could look out for him. In the late afternoon, I got a phone call that Carson had been found safe and sound. Lindsey Narraway, the super- visor of Pickering animal services, was waiting for an appointment with her husband Kevin Narraway, the supervi- sor of Whitby bylaw services, when he saw my post on his phone. He told Lindsey it looked like a shih tzu that Whitby had picked up. But when Lindsey took a look, she recog- nized the dog from the Pickering shel- ter. Kevin called Toni and she was relieved to confirm it was Carson. “It’s amazing,” Toni said of Carson’s safe return, tearful again. The little guy was taken to the shelter by someone who said they found him wandering around Hwy. 2 and Brock Road in Pickering. There are many unanswered questions, but the bottom line is Carson is home safe and sound. It’s amazing how social media essen- tially reunited the two. If it weren’t for Facebook, who knows if they’d ever meet again? > RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND WHITBY -- Carson, an 11-year-old shih tzu, was stolen from the front lawn of his owner Toni Stephen last week. A Pickering Animal Services employee spot- ted a post on Kristen’s Kritters page and realized the dog was at the shelter. Carson was reunited with his owner 24 hours after he went missing. 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 6 , 2 0 1 2 9 AP Tiffin RestaurantIndianTakeout Calltodaytobook yourpersonal visit! 70 Station St.,Ajax Call905-683-7321 www.chartwellreit.ca BallycliffeLodge retirement residence Making People’s Lives Better *Some conditions apply.

OSHAWA (905) 433-2319 Show 201216th annual Fall Registration Friday August 24 - Saturday August 25 at the Pickering Town Centre By Anne MacLachlan From tumblebugs to teens, the Pickering Athletic Centre’s top-notch trampolining and gymnastics facility encourages kids to boost their agility, balance, confidence and coordination. And its newest program, a Friday night Family Open Gym, invites parents to tumble, balance and bounce alongside their kids. “Pickering Athletic Centre welcomes all ages, crawling to adult,” explains co-director Laurie Large. Their 15+ Open Gym program already enjoys popularity, with cheerleading squads, dance teams, gymnasts and other young athletes already taking advantage. With the Family Open Gym slated to kick off this fall, Mrs. Large expects to see lots of parent-child teams hitting the mats. In addition to Family Open Gym, Pickering Athletic Centre will also add dance and acrobatics classes to its programming repertoire this fall. Featuring four trampolines, tumble tracks, bars, beams and a fun foam pit, Pickering Athletic Centre is the perfect playground for cart- wheeling kids. And the focus is on fun. Says director Laurie Large, “While we do offer competitive programs, our main priority is our recreational programs.” For that reason, PAC offers a free trial class to allow would-be students to bounce- test their facility. Pickering Athletic Centre knows how to celebrate birthdays with style. Party themes include gymnastics and trampolining (don’t worry, Moms; all four trampolines are in-ground), as well as Fear Factor parties for the daring and cheerleading parties with supplied pom-poms. After their gym time, the future Olympians take over the PAC party room. Many can’t wait a whole year to return, and attend Pickering Athletic Centre’s monthly “Flips, Fun & Flix,” a three-hour Saturday night tumble-party. Pickering Athletic Centre prides itself on safety. In addition to National Coaching Certification, PAC trainers all boast up-to-date First Aid & CPR, criminal record checks, accessibility and risk management training. In addition to its normal safety ratios, PAC is always prepared to add more staff at need. “We know not every child and not every group of children is the same,” explains Director Large. Currently, the team of NCCP-certified coaches is busy with its summer camp program. Every week spotlights a different Olympic theme, as youngsters cross the balance beam to gold-medal applause.

Chapman feeling golden Veteran of Canadian soccer team enjoying the support after winning Olympic bronze BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It’s an Olympic bronze medal that adorns the neck of Candace Chapman, but the feeling it has generated is golden. The Ajax resident is home now from London, England, where she endured a roller coaster ride, both emotionally and physically, for two weeks. The end result of her body of work was a bronze medal, claiming a podium spot with a 1-0 victory over France on a goal that came a minute and a half into extra time, sending the country into a frenzy. Chapman has felt the love and support since her plane touched down in Toronto on Mon- day. “Honestly, it feels like we won,” she said by phone from her parent’s home in Ajax on Wednesday. “The support that we got, the reception at the airport. I went out for dinner (Tuesday) and everyone was talking about the game, especially the US game and how much they felt for us. “When we were in London they told us that you guys don’t know what’s going on back home and we didn’t. Coming back here, I feel even more the support that we had and have.” The Canadian squad captured the imagina- tion of a nation as the Olympics wore on. It started with a 2-1 loss to Japan on July 25, two days prior to the opening ceremonies. That game also ended Chapman’s on-field contribu- tion to the team until the end, after collapsing to the ground in the opening half with what was diagnosed as a second-degree tear to her right calf. “I pushed off for a sprint and my calf com- pletely went,” was how she described the inju- ry, noting that she could feel something was wrong about 10 minutes prior to being taken off the field, unable to put any pressure on her leg. She was optimistic about returning to the lineup but in looking back, figured the medical staff knew better. “I think they knew that I might have been out for awhile, but they didn’t tell me,” said the 29-year-old veteran of more than 100 interna- tional caps. “They were just saying take it day by day and see how things go.” Days turned into a couple of weeks. In the meantime, Canada blanked South Africa 3-0 and came from behind to tie Sweden 2-2 to wrap up pool play and advance into the medal round. A 2-0 shutout of Great Britain put Cana- da into the semifinals against the United States, the No. 1-ranked team in the world, and the same team that ended Canada’s medal hopes four years earlier in Beijing in the quarter- finals. Chapman didn’t play in any of the games fol- lowing the injury, but did get off the bench to warm up in the game against the United States. Canada lost 4-3, the winning goal coming in the final seconds, relegating Canada to the bronze medal game. “It was heart-breaking,” said Chapman of the emotional loss. “We have a rivalry with the US ever since I’ve been on the team and they always come out on top and we wondered when it was going to be our time to get that luck. “Seeing us lose that in the last 10 seconds of the game it was really heart-breaking.” In the bronze medal game against France, the luck that was missing in the semifinal emerged, Diana Matheson scoring with 30 seconds left in extra time for a 1-0 win. The reception the team has received since returning has given the women a celebrity sta- tus. “It’s totally new,” said Chapman, whose hum- ble beginnings took shape at Denis O’Connor followed by a scholarship to Notre Dame. “I definitely was not expecting it. I just feel proud that we accomplished this for Canada soccer and Canada as a whole.” The magnitude of the accomplishment still hasn’t taken hold just yet. It was pointed out to Chapman that a new generation of soccer players will be inspired by the win, and in the years that follow, when they are asked about a connection to the Olympics should they reach that level, they might be inclined to say they remember the Canadian team from 2012 in London and ever since wanted to be one of those women who won a medal. “I never thought about it that way,” she said. “That’s just an honour if it happens that way.” Then, after a brief pause, Chapman realized she already encountered such a scenario. “When I was at the airport, there was one girl who came up to me and she was like, ‘I want to be an Olympian now. You guys are amazing!’ I think that’s one of the best rewards from this. Seeing how we’ve inspired young girls to pur- sue their dreams.” Living a bit of a gypsy existence the past few years travelling around with the national pro- gram, Chapman will be busy in the coming weeks rehabbing her calf, and heading to the US where she has an apartment in Connecti- cut. She’s not sure what’s on the docket next for the Canadian team, but anticipates a call in the coming weeks. > 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 6 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP For video visit WEB 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 1 6 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP 12th Annual August198am to 4pm Bond and Center Streets.Several loaner cars available.
