Two other suspects are wanted and on the lam in Europe, police said in announcing the conclusion of Project Mansfield, an investi- gation that began late last year in Durham Region and soon involved police and customs officials in Canada and the United States.

Participating restaurants in Durham Region have teamed up with local farm- ers and producers to cre- ate mouth-watering dish- es inspired by farm-fresh ingredients. These restaurants will offer fixed-price lunch and dinner menus for the dura- tion of Savour the Season, giving diners the chance to taste Durham Region’s fall harvest, while at the same time supporting local res- taurants and farms. Savour the Season’s fea- tured menus offer at least one appetizer, main course and dessert where elements have been produced in Dur- ham Region. Imagine savouring a bowl of butternut squash soup, creatively prepared by a Durham Region chef using squash that was picked yesterday from a farm just down the road. Enjoy a warm apple crisp made using freshly picked Durham Region apples, and drizzled with local maple syrup. How about an entree featuring fresh, grass-fed organic local beef, and com- plementing your meal with a glass of Durham Region fruit wine? Now in its second year, Savour the Season features more than 20 casual and fine-dining restaurants, located across Durham Region. Chefs are preparing these multi-course lunch menus (starting at $15) and dinner menus (starting at $25). The dishes are cre- ated using fresh, local food -- including meat, fruits, vegetables and even maple syrup -- from various Dur- ham Region farmers and producers. Visitors to the Savour the Season website at www. durhamsavourtheseason. ca, can sort restaurants by area municipality, view full menus and learn about the farm-fresh products being used. An interactive map makes it easy to locate Savour the Season restau- rants in each area. Reservations for Savour the Season are recom- mended, and should be made directly with the participating restaurant.

Savour the Season in Durham Two Pickering teens charged with vandalism PICKERING -- Two Pickering teens have been charged in connection with a holiday weekend vandal- ism spree that saw dozens of bus shelters in Durham Region and Toronto dam- aged. The teens, busted after shelters in Pickering, Ajax and Scarborough were smashed on the Labour Day weekend, are also believed to be responsible for dam- age to several vehicles ear- lier in the summer, Durham police said. Police said a total of 34 shelters, 15 of them in Pickering and Ajax, were damaged between Friday, Aug. 31 and the early morn- ing hours of Tuesday, Sept. 4. Durham cops co-ordi- nated their investigation with police in Scarborough, where 19 shelters were damaged. Police said two 17-year- old Pickering boys had been charged with 47 mis- chief-related offences. The teens, whose identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were released with conditions. The teens are also charged with vandalizing 13 vehicles on Aug. 13 and 14, police said. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP Walk for Suicide Awareness to be held in Durham Annual Walk for Suicide Awareness is Sept. 8 Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Since last summer, Wanda LeBlanc has lost both her father and her brother. Both experiences were heart- breaking, but the reaction from friends and acquaintances couldn’t have been more differ- ent. When her father died, there were condolences and kind words. When her brother Jerry died by suicide in June 2011, there was mostly silence. “The avoidance and the silence were hard for me. People don’t know what to say, so they don’t say anything. But you just want your loss to be acknowl- edged,” says Ms. LeBlanc, a Port Hope resident. “We want his memory to be honoured, he was such a good person.” Jerry LeBlanc died at age 49 after a struggle with mental health issues. His family remembers him as someone who would “do any- thing to help anyone,” often fix- ing co-worker’s cars in the park- ing lot on his lunch hour. He loved animals and nature and was a devoted father and grandfather, affectionately called “Skittles Grandpa” by his two grandchildren. “He didn’t kill himself, his mental illness killed him,” says his other sister, Kim Collier. “But people don’t think of it that way.” LRaising awareness of why peo- ple die by suicide, the impact on loved ones left behind and what local resources are avail- able to help are all part of the annual Walk for Suicide Aware- ness organized by Distress Cen- tre Durham. On Sept. 8 about 30 of Mr. LeBlanc’s family, friends and co-workers will walk in his hon- our at the eighth annual event. Employees from Lear Seat- ing in Whitby -- where Mr. LeB- lanc worked for 22 years -- have been fundraising for the walk, hosting bake sales every Friday in August and raising $3,275 so far. “His family is doing so much good by talking about it. There is a lack of knowledge and under- standing about suicide and sharing their story is helping people learn,” says Eva Guta, a Lear employee who volunteers at Distress Centre Durham and will walk as part of Team Jerry. Last year’s walk was the big- gest and most successful to date, drawing about 300 people and raising $22,000 for Distress Centre Durham programs. Executive director Victoria Kehoe says the funds support life-saving programs including a 24-hour helpline staffed by trained volunteers. Calls related to suicide -- whether it’s someone thinking about suicide, actively planning suicide or a “survivor” who’s lost a loved one -- made up about 18 per cent of the roughly 9,000 calls to the helpline in 2011. “That’s a very high per cent,” Ms. Kehoe says. “We’re seeing a lot of challenges in the com- munity in terms of the economy and employment issues, that really has an impact on people.” Ms. Kehoe says recent media coverage of suicides, such as those of bullied youth, has helped lessen some of the stig- ma. But there is still a long way to go. “So many people have been affected by it or they know someone who has ... but they still don’t talk about it. They don’t know how to say the word,” she says. This year’s five-kilometre walk starts at 10:30 a.m. at Hey- denshore Pavilion in Whitby. It wraps up at the same spot with a barbecue lunch and remem- brance ceremony balloon release. To register for the walk, visit www.runningroom.com or e-mail victoria@distresscentre- durham.com. Distress Centre Durham’s 24-hour helpline is available for people to talk about any issue that affects their sense of well being. Call 905-430-2522 or 1-800-452-0688 if you need help.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Ajax shouldn’t share slots revenue To the editor: Re: ‘Ajax offers Whitby 15 per cent of OLG Slots revenue’, news, durhamregion.com, Aug. 24, 2012. The right thing for Mayor Steve Par- ish and members of council to have done would have been to take time out from their long summer recess to consult with their constituents -- the equal stakehold- ers in this big-money game -- and to have unanimously voted not to give Whitby any portion of the non-tax gaming revenue Ajax receives. The hand that the Ontario government and OLG dealt Ajax continues to be the only winning casino-hand in Durham and Ajax Downs is one of the best casinos in all of Ontario. The odds of OLG and the Ontario govern- ment closing Ajax Downs and locating a newer or better revenue-producing casino nearby is slim to none at all. By offering Whitby 15 per cent, Ajax Town Council is simply inviting the rest of Dur- ham to have a piece of our pie. I think that members of council have no idea how to successfully play this money game. To fold a winning hand will prove folly for the Town of Ajax. The final chapter will not end well. We, the people of Ajax, will be big-time losers. Charity begins at home. Michael Baker Ajax Noisy police chopper disturbs the peace To the editor: I seriously believe that a citizens’ group should be started to permanently ground the police helicopter. On Thursday, Aug. 10, the police heli- copter flew endless circles around the city at low altitude on a foggy day, from mid- afternoon until well after midnight. Why would they need to fly a noisy machine like that, which disturbs the peace? It is frustrating when one has to get up for work at 4 a.m. and finding it hard to sleep because the police helicopter is buzzing the sky for enjoyment. How much more of this nonsense are the citizens going to take before they say enough is enough? Let’s face it, we survived before we had a police helicopter and we shall surely sur- vive without one. We don’t need to feel like we are living in a prison camp with that thing flying over our heads all day and night. Enough is enough. Please join in and let’s get this thing stopped. Gary Arsenault Oshawa Back in so your driveway exit is even safer To the editor: Re: ‘Be aware: Durham students hit the streets on Tuesday’, editorial, Aug. 31, 2012. I was happy to see and read this remind- er to motorists as we all head into Septem- ber and the obvious situation where excit- ed children will be scurrying to and from school. Right up until the end of the school year, motorists. Your article was well written although one statement made me pause and re- read. That being “Even before you leave the driveway, take a good look behind you to ensure there are no young folks about.” I paused as I am surprised more motor- ists do not back into their driveways or, for that matter, into any parking spot (I real- ize some drivers are not comfortable doing this and those with a garage may prefer to have the few seconds of exhaust emission away from a house entrance door prior to leaving home). Studies and statistics show that most kids are injured or worse in driveway accidents by people reversing their vehicle out. All drivers living at our home back in to the driveway. When approaching your home, you are instinctively surveying the surroundings for children, and even pets, before reaching your home. Thus you can reverse into your parking spot, obvious- ly with care, having checked for danger. When you next leave your driveway, every- thing is in your front view; you don’t have to ‘take a good look behind you’. When drivers reverse out of their drive- way, unfortunately more than once too often it is done without being able to see what may be behind them. Again, thanks for the reminder. Brian Dimock Oshawa Durham school program vital to assisting newcomers The frightening prospect of settling in a new country is quite enough for families to face. Learning to negotiate the maze of social services, the education system and the many other elements of Canadian soci- ety that are foreign to newcomers can be another thing altogether. An innovative program offered to new- comers at Durham schools, however, helps ease the transition for foreign families, pro- vides a blueprint of our education system and promotes a smoother settlement expe- rience. Officials with Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) have been in local schools in the past week with newcomer families, pro- viding an orientation and introduction to Durham’s education system. Funded by the federal government, the SWIS program also provides information for families on social services in Durham, links them to other available community resources and informs them of what to expect as the school year gets underway. The idea behind the pro- gram is simple: to provide a head start for new students as they enter the school sys- tem, freeing their families to focus on the larger and vitally important issues of set- tling in a new country; finding permanent family accommodations, establishing work careers, and providing for their children. Imagine the courage and the deep well of hope necessary to motivate a family from another corner of the world to choose to start anew in Canada, particularly in these difficult economic times. These are families who arrive here from places where violence, political strife, poverty and uncertainty can be the norm. In that context, we owe it to those people who have elected to settle here in Durham Region the very best opportuni- ty to hit the ground running. Programs such as that offered by SWIS are vital to ensure that families are given early opportunities to achieve their settle- ment goals. Students who quickly become comfortable in their new setting, who are informed and knowledgeable about their new school system, are more likely to make the transition smoothly and successfully. And for the parents of newcomer chil- dren, it is also important that they engage with local school officials and other par- ents, attend school events and parent coun- cil meetings, to learn more and become a strong at-home resource for students. The SWIS program has a final session set for Saturday, Sept. 8 at St. Bernadette Catho- lic School in Ajax. We encourage local fam- ilies to avail themselves of the timely and important settlement information that is offered.

Industry colour experts explain that discerning homeowners are choosing traditional colour styles to suit their casual mindsets but now with a modern twist. According to Erika Woelfel, Director of Colour Marketing at Behr Paints, this trend is evident in one of Behr's 2013 colour collection themes “Classic Caprice,” which features a colour palette that can both complement and add spice to traditional decor styles. “Designers and decorators have long favoured red in the dining room because it is a colour that feels warm and inviting,” explained Woelfel. “Daah-ling (T13-1) is a feature wall colour in our Classic Caprice theme that puts a spin on the classic red dining room. It is a deep magenta that has the same irresistible qualities as red, but adds a fun, flirtatious surprise.” Other colours featured in the theme include Empire Porcelain (T13-2), ideal on wainscoting and trim, to soften and balance the intensity of a glowing dark pink like Daah-ling. Black Lacquer (T13-3) can be used on border trim walls to add an extra element of sophistication. Belladonna (T13- 5) is a cool medium blue accent and Golden Age (T13-4) is a soft gold. Colour blocking with “Colour Metric” The popular colour blocking fashion trend is the inspiration for Behr's “Colour Metric” theme. Colour blocking – painting one or two colours in varying-sized blocks on a wall - is commonly referred to as adding a “punch” of colour because of its ability to make your room more vibrant. By using the latest contemporary colours in the Colour Metric collection, you can give a modern kitchen a dynamic colour boost while creating a unique graphic appeal. Matrix (T13-8), a neutral grey, is an ideal background hue for the walls and enables Electrify (T13-9), a vibrant blue painted on cabinets, to take center stage. Other colours in the collection such as Plum Orbit (T13- 10), a dark plum, help create depth, while a light cognac brown Tan-gent (T13-7) balances decors with its soft complexity.

Make your dreams a reality with the help of Arnts Topsoil: The Landscape Supplier. Begin by visiting one of Arnts' two locations with acres of outdoor space with everything for your landscaping needs. Through extensive displays, design brochures, installation videos and knowledgeable staff, Arnts Topsoil provides the tools to help you create an outdoor space that surpasses your expectations. There are 10 basic steps to the installation of interlocking paving stones. The first step is to draw a diagram showing measurements, grade elevations and proposed planters, steps, walls and paving stone areas. A member of the Arnts sales staff will help you calculate the amount and cost of the materials for your project. The next step is to prepare the area by marking the digging location. Excavate the required depth depending on the application. Fill the area with a well-draining base material, usually a combination of gravel and sand. Compact the gravel with a place compactor in 2” deep intervals. Spread a 1” layer of coarse sand on the compacted base and level. Lay the paving stones on the coarse sand, staggering the joints for stability. Mark and cut any pavers that do not fit along the edges and around objects. Install brick edge restraints along the perimeter of the paving stones to prevent the pavers from shifting. Sweep the surface of the paving stones and compact with a gas plate compactor to settle the pavers into the layer of coarse sand. Finish the project by sweeping fine sand into the joints of the pavers. In addition to a wide variety of paving stones and retaining walls, Arnts Topsoil also carries the best selection of soils, mulches, aggregates, natural flagstone and rockery, decorative gravels, slabs, curbs, steps, landscape lighting and much more.

In addition to getting your warmer clothes out of the closet, it’s also a good idea to oil spray rust proof your vehicle, protecting it from the harsh elements, including snow and salt. Diamond Shine offers both semi-drip and no-drip packages starting from $79.95 (vans, trucks and SUVs extra). To prevent your vehicle from rusting, the solution is applied to the complete undercarriage of the vehicle, the engine compartment, including the hood, all rocker panels, hinges, inside the doors and trunk. It’s also a great time of year to have the exterior of your vehicle protected. A Diamond Shine wax will not only bring back your vehicle’s shine, it will also help protect it from the harsh winter elements. Salt, slush and snow can also damage your vehicle’s upholstery, which is why it’s a great idea to have the fabric protected. After the fabric has been cleaned, a fabric protection is applied, which will help repel stains and salt, preventing damage. Diamond Shine offers a wide variety of packages starting from as low as $19.95.It’s called detailing for a reason. At Diamond Shine, their showroom package leaves no small space untouched. To achieve a showroom look, they use toothbrushes and Q-Tips to get to the hard to reach areas. They only use the best products, to ensure superior results. “We want to thank everyone for putting their trust in us for the past 18 years, including both our loyal customers and the many dealers in the area,” says Joanne. Diamond Shine is open for business all year round, even if it’s just for a hand wash and dry. Don’t take the chance that your car will be damaged by the local drive through car wash! Bring it in and have it professionally cleaned and protected.Diamond Shine is a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Durham Region since 1994.

Protect Your Vehicle at Diamond Shine From Page 1 Police have recovered $85,000 in cash, as well as stolen property and cred- it cards, and evidence of $2 million of social services claims made by participants in the organization, Durham police Chief Mike Ewles said Wednesday morning. Police have also identified $1 mil- lion worth of “suspicious” wire transactions with over- seas destinations. “This is by far the largest investigation of its kind for the Durham Regional Police Service,” the chief said, call- ing it “a major breakthrough in an organized crime ring that’s been active throughout southern Ontario.” The operation saw immi- grants brought to Canada from Romania, assisted with applying for welfare, and then enlisted to act in roving bands of thieves who spread out across Ontario and Que- bec, police allege. Durham cops linked a large number of distraction-type thefts that targeted jewelry and convenience stores, as well as individuals including seniors, the chief said. Even- tually investigators homed in on a local address from which it’s believed the orga- nization was run. “Our investigation led us to a family living on Denby Drive in Pickering and an associate on Eastdale Drive in Toronto,” Chief Ewles said. Durham cops closed in on the main suspects Aug. 9, arresting Dinarca Caldaras, 38, formerly of Denby Drive in Pickering, and 37-year-old Claudiu Unguru, of Eastdale Avenue, Toronto. Both face charges including fraud and participation in a criminal organization. Ms. Caldaras is also charged with cred- it card theft, identity theft and instructing commission of an offence for a criminal organization, among other charges. Her husband, 42-year-old Ovidiu Caldaras, and their son Robert Caldaras, 20, avoided arrest by fleeing to Europe, police said. They are believed to be in Germa- ny, Inspector Bruce Townley said Wednesday. In total, 34 suspects were arrested on more than 263 charges. The investigation revealed as many as 400 peo- ple connected to the ring, police said. Police continue to inves- tigate crimes that may be attributed to the gang. “Individual victims may not be aware this group has hit them,” Chief Ewles said, vowing to “take this investi- gation wherever it needs to go.” During the briefing report- ers were shown a surveil- lance video that depicted several suspects swarming at once into a Whitby conve- nience store. As some mem- bers of the group distracted the lone clerk with ques- tions and small purchases, others infiltrated an inven- tory room and stuffed bags of loot under their loose skirts before leaving. The method was just one employed by the band of thieves, said Detective Ser- geant Cathy Bawden. Other scams saw them targeting individuals on the street and switching valuable jewelry with cheap fakes, and by fol- lowing elderly shoppers and stealing debit cards and PIN numbers, she said. Another scam saw partici- pants flagging down motor- ists by pretending to be in distress, then selling expen- sive-looking jewelry for cash to get out of a jam. The jewel- ry turned out to be worthless, she said. As many as 150 unsolved crimes might be attributed to the gang, she said. “Are they related to this cell? We believe and suspect they are, but we can’t say that for certain,” Det.-Sgt. Bawden said. Chief Ewles said the ring was highly organized and efficient, luring participants from Romania with prom- ises of a better life in Canada and then enlisting them in criminal pursuits. “People would arrive on a Thursday and by the fol- lowing Saturday would be involved in distraction thefts,” he said. The investigation began in Durham Region last Novem- ber but soon grew to include participation by the RCMP, OPP, Interpol and police in Montreal, Toronto, London, Sudbury and York and Peel regions. Also involved were the Canada Border Servic- es Agency, US Customs and Homeland Security agencies and the FBI.

Library use spikes during summer Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A slight chill in the air signaled the end of summer as children happily chatted with liter- ary characters including the Cat in the Hat at the Pickering Public Library. The children were on hand for the Epic Quest, an imaginative series of clues and activities designed as a celebratory wrap of the library’s Summer Reading Club. “They’ve done their reading all summer long so this is a fun thing for them to do before they go back to school,” said Sarah West, children’s librarian, in between leading kids through a rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat while in costume as Alice in Wonderland. “We’re getting them to use their imagination and deduction skills as well as follow directions, but they’re also having fun.” The celebration also marked a milestone for the library, which saw increased participa- tion in its summer read- ing club, up to 1,196 kids from 1,158 last year, with an average of 40 more kids checking in weekly com- pared to 2011. In addition, the library saw its circula- tion peak in July at 121,246 items. “We haven’t seen that type of circulation at any other time in history,” said Cathy Grant, CEO of the library. “At the same time we’re experienc- ing all these talks of cut- backs, but this is a service the community is using. Where else can you get these types of program at no cost?” For many parents, library programs offer an easy way to keep their child’s reading skills sharp. “Her reading has real- ly improved since we got involved last year, and it also keeps her active throughout the summer,” said Berna Pascual, whose daughter Alessandra, 7, lists Judy Moody and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series among her favou- rite books. When asked if she was looking forward to return- ing to school, Alessandra was quick with a reply. “Yes,” she said excitedly. “I have more time to read during the year and I’m looking forward to doing math again. Math and English are my favourite classes.” Many of the children gathered shared Alessan- dra’s enthusiasm. “I’m excited to see my friends again and do sports and everything,” said Alex MacKinnon, who participated in the Sum- mer Reading Club with his sister Sydney, 9. The library also offers programs throughout the year, including Kinder- garten and Beyond, which promotes early literacy skills, and the Wise Guys Homework Club, which offers homework help.

The Region will be carrying out further testing of the public alerting system during the week of Sept. 10, 2012,during regular daytime business hours. Testing will include random sound sampling of outdoor sirens, which will sound for up to three minutes, in the Pickering area. Residents are reminded that the sounding of the sirens does not require immediate evacuation.

AJAX -- Pickering artist Kay Hubbard’s Cottage Country Memories show is at the McLean Com- munity Centre in Ajax starting next week. As the title indicates, the watercolour works reveal Hubbard’s love of Cottage Country. If you’re wondering, she and husband Ulf have a place in Haliburton, where they “enjoy watching sunsets, sparkles on the lake and ever-changing land- scapes that grace their presence” states a press release. “Summertime in Ontario sends many of us out of the city. We escape to the pristine lakes and delightful calm fresh cool of Ontario’s forests. The stunning scenery brings us close to nature and we are taken out of urban frenzy and into serenity.” The show runs Sept. 10 to Oct. 21 and there’s an artist’s reception on Sept. 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. The McLean Community Centre is at 95 Magill Dr. Pickering artist’s show in Ajax On in Ajax Platinum Blonde back with new album and plays Durham Sept. 14 Metroland Durham presents concert at Regent Theatre MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It’s said time flies, but Plati- num Blonde’s Mark Holmes says it’s like time has stood still for the band, touring to support a new record. The band plays Oshawa’s Regent The- atre Sept. 14 at 8 p.m., a concert presented by the Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division. “So far so good, lots of surprises, lots of wow,” Holmes says in an interview of the tour. “It’s hard to imagine after all this time, it’s like you’ve never stopped.” He says the band has seen a lot of young fans at the shows, people who weren’t around when PB made a huge splash in the 80s. “I think it also helped that there’s a few acts out there that talk about us being an influence,” Holmes says of the young fans’ interest and the great reception the band’s live shows and new material have received. “(The album) was embraced so much, I was emotional,” says Holmes, who wrote all of the songs on Now and Never. Flashback to 1983, when the band released the album Standing in the Dark. It went triple platinum in Canada, spawned four hits and resulted in two JUNO nomi- nations. Popular on the radio, the band’s music also got a tremendous boost from the new Much Music, which frequently played the videos. Two year’s later, Alien Shores was even bigger, selling 500,000 copies and making hits of songs such as Crying Over You and Hungry Eyes. The band disbanded shortly thereafter. He explains while a reunion was talked about in the past, the timing wasn’t right. After PB’s heyday, Holmes says music became a lot more segregated in the 90s. “We didn’t really fit in,” he says. “And as the time has gone by, we don’t need to fit in any more.” Holmes relates a story where he was interviewed recently by a notoriously tough critic. He was expecting an unpleas- ant experience when the interviewer praised Now and Never as ‘a relevant album’. “Think about it,” Holmes says bluntly, “the expectation levels are pretty low but the curiosity level is high. I think that had something to do with people being sur- prised.” He says the band resisted an attempt to have PB go on tour with no new mate- rial “to exploit what we could do in live shows.” Advised to “just go out and make some money,” they flatly refused. Holmes had spent many of the interven- ing years as a DJ at The Mod Club in Toron- to, which he opened in 2002, and was well aware of the contemporary music scene. For the music on Now and Never, Hol- mes said he’d written Shined and left it in a drawer and forgot about it. He wrote Beau- tiful, Valentine and Satellite “and then it just came out; there were 20 (songs). “We chose 10 because we wanted a really good record and not filler,” Holmes says. He says Durham fans can expect “the right mix” of old and new material at the show, including the band’s hits. The band plans on touring into 2014 and Holmes says going to Asia is definitely in the works. What happens next is any- body’s guess. “I don’t think anyone can predict the future,” he says. “You do what you love. We’re doing it because we love to do it, not because we have to do it.” Tickets for the band’s Oshawa show are available at tickets.regenttheatre.ca or by calling 905-721-3399, ext. 2.

Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Sports Pickering OJHL club opens season tonight at home to Newmarket BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A new era of junior hockey begins tonight in Pickering. While the Pickering Panthers have been in operation since 1972, there seems to be an opti- mism of a fresh start around the organization as they set to embark on another Ontario Junior Hockey League season with the home and sea- son opener tonight against Newmarket begin- ning at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. There are a number of returning faces, both on the bench and on the ice, but GM/head coach, Mike Galati, among those who are returning, says there’s a different feel than a year ago. “I think it’s a team that has a new life. I think that’s the best way to describe it,” he says of the mood of his club. “I like the atmosphere in the room. The returning guys especially, they have a rejuvenated type of attitude. They’ve been working hard for three weeks and I’m pretty happy.” The Panthers are coming off a tumultuous season in which Galati started the season as the coach, but was fired by owner Rob Stein when the team won just three of its first 22 games. A late-season push under Dan Cameron, who was inserted as the coach, got the Panthers into the playoffs, but they were eliminated by the Toron- to Lakeshore Patriots three games to one in the opening round. Stein subsequently sold the team at season’s end to Steve Tuchner, who reinstated Galati as the club’s head coach, and gave him the dual role of being the general manager as well. The team is building around some return- ing players that include Andrew McCann, who led the team in scoring with 42 points, Aiden Wallace, a sixth-round draft pick of the Lon- don Knights in 2011, Dylan Hutton, who had 29 points in 32 games, Matt Galati, younger broth- er of Mike, who started last season in Pickering, was traded to Toronto, and reacquired during the pre-season. Some new faces that will be expected to make a contribution include Rob Lepine, acquired in a cash deal from the Welland Canadiens Jr. B team, Adam Nanji, acquired from the Hamilton Red Wings of the OJHL in a cash transaction, and Brodie Tutton, who saw some action last season with the Kingston Voyageurs of the OJHL. In goal, the Panthers are set with Spen- cer Bacon, who has an agreement to attend Division-1 Mercyhurst next sea- son. His backup will be CJ Sharp, who spent some time in the Quebec Major Junior League with the Moncton Wild- cats. Defensively, Cody Doiron returns to anchor the blue-line. New additions include a couple of players with experience in the league such as Derek Sheppard, who played for Aurora, and Josh Herrington, who was with St. Michael’s. The team won’t have Landon Schiller, who impressed during the pre-season, as the former ninth-round pick of Sault Ste. Marie of the OHL has made the Grey- hounds. As well, Tanner Bull and Nanji will be out with suspen- sions, and Lepine is sidelined with an injury. If the pre-sea- son is any indi- cation, Galati expects his team to be much improved. “I think we got bet- ter as the pre-season went on,” he says. “The boys are enthu- siastic, happy with the staff and I think they are happy with the new ownership. They realize things will be different and that’s important.” The organization is trying to build a positive atmosphere for the home opener that they hope continues throughout the season. A number of giveaways will be taking place, with hopes of provid- ing an evening of entertainment. Following tonight’s game, the Pan- thers visit Whitby on Sunday for a 2:10 p.m. start at Iroquois Park Sports Centre. > Panthers looking for fresh start 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 • Se p t e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP PICKERING -- Clockwise from above, Tanner Bull, Andrew McCann and Dylan Hutton will be lead- ing the Pickering Panthers this season. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP Who are you running for? ® Title Sponsor National Sponsors Official National Suppliers Lakeview Park Registration opens at 8am, Run StartTime: 10:00am /RunfortheCureDurham@CBCF_Durham cbcf.org Participate.

That would be to win a Mann Cup. Jackson, the Bowmanville native and for- mer Whitby Warriors junior A lacrosse star, was the first overall selection in the 2012 Major Series Lacrosse draft by the Ajax Rock, but never stepped on the floor with the squad, instead opting to take his game out west on a one-year transfer agreement to join the Langley Thunder of the Western Lacrosse Association. While the Rock certainly could have used Jackson’s talents as they limped through another tough MSL season, the decision to go west has ultimately proved to be a fruit- ful one for the 21 year old former Limestone College star. “It’s been a great experience. I’ve loved it out there. It’s cool seeing all the mountains, which you don’t see in Ontario. The owners in Langley, all the coaching staff and players on the team were really good to me. It made it an easy transition,” Jackson said. The best-of-seven final opens Friday night at the Memorial Centre in Peterborough as Langley faces the powerhouse Lakers, win- ners of yet another Major Series crown ear- lier this summer. Jackson says he’s looking forward to the opportunity to once again play in front of family and friends in Ontario. He spent his entire junior career close to home, playing for the Clarington Green Gaels before mov- ing on to the Warriors where he helped that club win a Minto Cup championship last summer. After closing out junior on a high and then completing his final year at Limestone, which ended with a loss in the NCAA Divi- sion-2 championship game, Jackson figured the time was right to follow through on a lifelong dream he had to play on the other side of the country. “I always wanted to play out west, even through junior, but I had some really good teams with the Gaels and then in Whitby I felt like we had something going there,” he said. “Talking with (friend and ex-team- mate) Mark (Matthews) he said he loved it out there and from school I know a bunch of guys out there, so right after the season ended I knew I wanted to play out west somewhere. “I didn’t know where it was going to be, I just knew I wanted to go out there.” As for what next season brings, Jackson’s rights will revert to the Rock as per the one- year agreement, though the possibility exists that the two teams could work some- thing out that would extend his stay in Brit- ish Columbia. Jackson’s focus, for now though, is square- ly on Langley’s chances to win a Mann Cup. “It’s pretty exciting. Not many players get a chance to win a Mann Cup in their first year in the league. We’re coming in as an under- dog. Peterborough’s got all those big names on their team and it’s going to be tough, but I am looking forward to getting going here,” he said. Submitted photo GAFFNEY, S.C. -- Bowmanville’s Shayne Jackson, shown here as a member of the Limestone College men’s field lacrosse team, will play in the Mann Cup final with the Langley Thunder. Jackson was the first overall pick in the Major Series Lacrosse draft by the Ajax Rock. Durham City Basketball hosts rep tryouts, house league AJAX -- The Durham City Basketball Association has been providing competitive basketball pro- grams to the community since 2004 and is the largest program of its kind in Durham Region.

Nasiir Willabus-Stephen won his race, the 9/10 boys’ 200m, in a time of 27.35, more than a second faster than the second- place runner, Christian Lewis, from Lexington, Kentucky, in 28.53. Alyssa Marsh won the next race, the 11/12 girls’ 200m in a sizzling 26.48. She too defeat- ed the second-place runner by more than a second. Melicia Mouzzon, from Raleigh, NC, finished second with a time of 27.68. Both runners are members of the Durham Legion Athletic Track Club based out of Oshawa and Whitby. In total, 19 Ontario athletes competed in 13 events with the Region One team in Hershey. Five gold medals, four silver, two bronze medals and a single fourth- and fifth-place finishes were achieved by the Ontario athletes. Earns victory on Canadian junior tour OTTAWA -- Connor Pestell has added to his medal count with his second victory of the year on the Canadian Junior Golf Association tour. The 10-year-old Pickering resi- dent travelled to Ottawa to par- ticipate in the CJGA tour event held at the Loch March Golf Club. The course includes many water hazards and dogleg holes to add to the challenge for these junior golfers. Pestell proceeded to shoot the best round of his young career. His gold medal-winning score of 73 (+1) over 18 holes included his first eagle and four birdies. His spectacular play led to a 17-shot victory over his closest rivals. He followed up this victory with a trip to the season-ending CJGA tour championship at the Cones- toga Golf Club near Waterloo. This two-round tournament attracts the best golfers from across the country vying for order-of-merit points that apply to CJGA nation- al rankings. Pestell continued his impressive play and recorded rounds of 73 and 79 on the par-71 golf course. These scores led to a third-place finish in this tourna- ment and also allowed him to fin- ish third overall in the final CJGA national rankings in the boys 9-10 age category. Pestell plays most of his golf around the Pickering area and enjoys practising at the Devils Den Golf Centre. The golf instruc- tor at Devils Den, Jason Knill, has proven to be a great asset. Pestell is a Grade 6 student at Maple Ridge Public School in Pickering.
