SUBMITTED PHOTO Charting a course for Brazil Pickering’s Justin Barnes hopes to sail into 2016 Olympic Games PICKERING -- Considered the Formula 1 of Olympic sail- ing, Pickering’s Justin Barnes is hoping to fast track his way to the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil as a member of the Canadian team. The Dunbarton graduate and his teammate, David Mori of Oakville, recently finished second in the 49er class at the Canadian championships that were held in Kingston. The result puts them in a favourable position as they continue their quest to represent Canada in three years’ time. Only one boat from Canada will qualify for the 2016 Games. In their Olympic pursuit, the duo spent a month in Europe training and competing, picking up valuable knowledge and experience against some of the top com- petition in the world. Barnes and Mori are currently in Kingston, preparing to compete in one of Canada’s largest regatta’s of the year.

Thank Yo u! Former Ajax resident fights for her citizenship Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- For pretty much her entire life, Jackie Scott thought she was a Canadian. Turns out, according to the federal gov- ernment, the former Ajax resident has never actually been a Canadian citizen, even though she’s the daughter of a Canadian sol- dier and British ‘war bride’ mother, came to Canada in 1948, grew up in the country, worked and voted here. The 68 year old is heading to court to have the government recognize her as an actual Canadian citizen. She’s part of a group who refer to themselves as ‘Lost Canadians’, those who have lived all or most of their lives in Canada, yet aren’t recognized as citizens by the government. Chris Alexander, the citizenship and immi- gration minister and MP for Ajax-Pickering, won’t comment on the matter as it’s before the courts. Alexis Pavlich, press secretary to Mr. Alex- ander, noted in an e-mail, “Anyone who has been living in Canada most of their life and has the mistaken belief that they are a Cana- dian citizen, may be eligible for a discretion- ary grant of citizenship. Such grants are made on a case-by-case basis by the Governor in Council to relieve special and unusual hard- ship or to reward exceptional service to Can- ada.” Ms. Scott was born in 1945 in England to unwed parents, and being born out of wed- lock is the root of her current dilemma. Her father, Jim Ellis, came home after the war, but she was delayed because of a serious illness. Ms. Scott and her mother Wyn came in January 1948 and her parents married that May. Ms. Scott, then Jacqueline Ellis, and her family moved to Ajax when she was young. “My early memories were growing up in Ajax. We moved to Ajax when I was three or four. I have really good memories,” she stat- ed. “I completed Grade 3 there. Those are good memories I keep.” At the time in Ajax, there was the war-time area and the new area. The family lived on Wishbone Road (now Crescent), which was considered the new area, while York Street was the old area. She attended the Ajax Public Schools, attending the North Junior school. Ms. Scott still has her Grade 3 report card from Miss Barclay’s class. Just before turning nine, the family moved to Scarborough. The government said that since her parents weren’t married in 1947, when the first citi- zenship act was passed, she isn’t a Canadian citizen. Ms. Scott didn’t find out she wasn’t a citizen until 2005, when she applied for a citizenship certificate. She and her husband are snowbirds, splitting time between Sur- rey, B.C. and Arizona. That year, as the U.S. government tightened rules to visit the coun- try following 9/11, she was forced to apply and become a U.S. citizen. “I can come in as a visitor,” she said, adding that means if she wanted, Ms. Scott couldn’t work in Canada. “I worked here and now I can’t work here.” Her first court date was July 22, when she filed for a judicial review. However, the judge wouldn’t allow the introduction of a pam- phlet from 1943 issued to Canadian soldiers that noted soldiers were fighting as Canadian citizens and not British subjects. With the ruling, Ms. Scott and her law- yer decided instead to delay the review and seek an alternate route. “I always thought of myself as a Canadian citizen,” she said. The government has gone so far as to argue in court that since the first citizenship act wasn’t approved until 1947, people born before the act was passed aren’t Canadians, but rather British subjects, she said. Jim Ellis was born in Toronto in 1911 and fought for his country. “Contrary to what the government says, he was a Canadian citi- zen. It’s atrocious. Now they’re saying they weren’t,” she said. Those who served in the war and died aren’t considered Canadian citizens, Ms. Scott added. “Yet, the government very proudly goes to Europe” to celebrate the Canadian efforts. “The Canadian flag is on their graves. It should be removed because the govern- ment is saying they’re not Canadian citizens,” Ms. Scott said. “It’s not just about me. It’s so much bigger than me.” Page 6 - today’s editorial Jackie Scott 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 3 3 AP SUMMER SAVINGS EVENT!

Desper ate for Change Durham police reviewing Tweets attributed to officer Ombudsman says Durham officer insulted him Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham police are investigating “disturb- ing allegations” that an officer used his Twitter account to criticize a public official who’s vowed to review use of force tactics. The incident is now under review by Durham’s pro- fessional standards unit, Sergeant Nancy van Rooy con- firmed Wednesday. “It’s gone to the professional stan- dards branch and the investigation is ongoing,” she said. The officer, a member of the fraud unit, remains on active duty while the investigation continues, Sgt. van Rooy said. Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin said last week the Twitter account @joeymayo12 belonged to Detec- tive Constable Scott Dennis of the Durham police. The account has since been deleted. In tweets sent from the account, Mr. Marin is called “a carded member of Al Qaida” and “YOU SIR ARE A COMPLETE DOUCHE BAG! Why don’t you stick your big french nose up your ass instead of business it doesnt belong.” The tweets were sent shortly before Mr. Marin announced he was going to launch an investigation into government policies for police on de-escalating poten- tially violent situations. This comes less than two weeks after the fatal shooting of teenager Sammy Yatim on a Toronto streetcar. In a tweet, in response to the allegations, Deputy Chief Paul Martin stated, “We are investigating the disturbing allegations made by the Ombudsman regarding a DRPS officer. Should the Ombudsman have any information beyond what was in the tweets we would be happy to hear from him.” Linda Williamson, director of communications for the Ombudsman’s office, noted Mr. Marin wouldn’t say how it was determined the account belonged to Det. Const. Dennis. As for whether the Ombudsman office has spoken with the DRPS, “I can’t say if they’ve been in touch with us or us with them,” she said. In a press release about the police shooting, Mr. Marin said, “Our investigation will look at the Ontario gov- ernment’s role. The Ministry (of Community Safety and Correctional Services) can set standards for police training or procedures across the province, for example, as was done in B.C. after the police-involved death of Robert Dziekan- ski. There have also been recommendations from inquests into similar deaths over the past two decades. What has been done? What should be done? We’ll focus on that.” The investigation will take six to 12 months to complete, Mr. Marin said. He noted the Ombudsman’s investigation won’t affect the ongoing probe of the Special Investigations Unit into the recent Yatim shooting. The Ombudsman review would be a “more broader investigation. Should the Province issue new reg- ulations regarding de-escalation? What, if anything, the ministry does now with police, regarding training?” Ms. Williamson noted several years ago, the Ombudsman’s office issued recommendations to the Province regarding police chases. During a press conference announcing the investigation, Mr. Marin was asked if he planned to look into the use of tasers and how to handle the mentally ill. Ms. Williamson said the investigation would be “broad and could touch on those things.” Once the report is completed, it’s up to the Province to implement any recommendations, she added. Editor’s note: Mr. Marin originally said the tweets were sent by Dennis Scott. The correct name is Scott Dennis. 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 3 4 AP ® Make One Small Monthly Payment For all your DEBTS!

A ‘Light’ in the darkness Ajax youth born during 2003 blackout DURHAM -- Ten years ago, a boy named ‘Light’ was born in an oasis of electricity, sur- rounded by the blackness of a powerless city. It was during the great Blackout of 2003, a well-remembered episode in Toronto’s his- tory that saw much of eastern North America plunge into darkness. The outage prompted emergency declarations, disrupted transit service for days and left millions with little to no electricity for up to 41 hours. At 4:11 p.m. Wednesday, it was one decade since the power went out for more than 50 million people -- the largest blackout in North American history. Dino Garagozzo will never forget it. Just hours after currents dropped, the Ajax man watched his wife, Lesley Larose, undergo an emergency C-section at Scarborough Gener- al Hospital, which was half-lit by backup gen- erators. The couple named their son Luca, which trans- lates to “light” from Italian, said Dino. “We named him before the black- out. We picked his name,” he explained, chuck- ling over the irony of it. “It’s almost like he was the bringer of light, because he was born and then the lights came on.” Power problems began the previous after- noon -- Aug. 14, 2003 -- with overloaded transmission lines in Ohio. That sparked a cascade of trouble that shut down electrical grids across Ontario, New York, and beyond. Today, Thursday, Aug. 15, Luca Garagoz- zo turns 10. He’s been spending his summer playing soccer and learning karate. His dad said they still talk from time to time about the blackout and how Luca was born, but they don’t put too much stock in it. “He’s said things like, ‘I’m a famous baby,’ and I say, ‘Yeah Luca, you were famous for one day’,” Dino said, laughing. -- files from Torstar News Service goodlifefitness.com/newclubs no money down no enrolment* only $9Per week (on a 1 Year Membership) JoinToday 8 weekSFree dlif fit / l b *Based on the purchase of a 1 year membership.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Ajax soccer club rights itself Club fixes books after financial scare Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- In the spring, the soccer club Ajax FC was reeling as a finan- cial crisis rocked the club. Now, in the late summer, the books have been corrected and the club is moving forward, says the club’s president. “Things are smoothing out and we’re getting them right. We took the bull by the horns,” said Theresa Lang. “We’re financially solvent and moving forward. We have the right people in place to move forward.” In April, Ms. Lang said the club was operating with “champagne tastes on a beer pocketbook.” To deal with the situation, several peo- ple were let go and some mem- bers of the executive committee were asked to step down and were replaced. “Essentially, we had to restruc- ture. It wasn’t running well. We had to remove people,” Ms. Lang said, adding the “proper financial struc- ture” also needed to be installed. “We were operating beyond the limits of our budget. That’s been curtailed and stopped,” Ms. Lang noted. Two audits of the club’s books were conducted in the spring. At the time, Ms. Lang said the financial issue wasn’t a case of anybody doing something wrong. It was just a matter of being top heavy and spending too much money. When asked if the club was in good financial shape now, Ms. Lang said, “Yes we are.” In the spring, the club noted it had a $100,000 hole in its budget. An audit found the money hadn’t been properly collected. “That’s been taken care of,” Ms. Lang added. She noted all the club’s teams, both competi- tive and recreational, hit the pitch this sum- mer. “We’re very fortunate we have a really strong volunteer base that steps up on so many bases,” she said. “Those who felt nervous stepped out and others stepped forward. That’s very encouraging.” She noted the boys’ ’99 team (boys born in 1999) look to be heading to the nationals. email responses to newsroom@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 5 , 2 0 1 3 6 A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Upon our birth we are issued certifi- cates. Travel requires passports. Employ- ment requires a social insurance number and driving privileges require a provincially issued licence. We accumulate these official documents, refer to them occasionally, and otherwise tuck them away in purses, wal- lets, or dresser drawers at home. Imagine, then, the difficulties that ensue when some documents aren’t issued due to oversight, bureaucracy, or outdated govern- ment policy. Imagine the exhaustion that sets in when one attempts to right a wrong, clarify confusion, or seek redress from big government. Two separate cases in Durham Region, one recently resolved and the other ongo- ing, underscore the challenges in fighting for one’s perceived rights. Jackie Scott, a former Ajax resident who has spent 65 of her 68 years in Canada, born to a British ‘war bride’ and a Cana- dian soldier in 1945, is one of the so-called ‘Lost Canadians’ who have lived all or most of their lives in Canada, but aren’t Canadi- an citizens. In her memories, in her spirit, in her experience and in practice, she is a Canadian, but must fight the federal gov- ernment for the recognition. It must be cor- rected. A similar ‘war bride’ story, this time involving Pickering resident Doris Madder, recently came to a more celebratory con- clusion when she, after a 25-year battle with the federal government, was awarded her late husband’s military pension and medals that he should have been awarded. Insult was added to injury when, in recent years, she learned that she wasn’t deemed a Canadian citizen. Due to bureaucrat- ic errors -- Mrs. Madder was never issued entry papers when she arrived in Canada in 1957 -- she lived her entire adult life in Can- ada unaware that she would face difficulties in trying to claim what was rightfully hers, namely her citizenship and her late hus- band’s military pension. Mrs. Madder’s case ended on a positive note, but required years of persistence and an abiding belief that she was doing the right thing. So too is the belief of Ms. Scott that she be given what she has earned. Canada is among the best nations on earth in which to live. Just make sure you have your documents in order. Recent Crone column stirs memories To the editor: Re: ‘A stain on my being’, Neil Crone col- umn, durhamregion.com, Aug. 8, 2013. I believe Mr. Crone has brought forth feelings that have been within many of us, especially those who grew up in the 1960s and ’70s. I recall a new family of obvious ethnic difference moving into our neighbour- hood. One of the boys was my age and in my class at school. In the schoolyard during one recess, a number of us got into some roughhousing, with the new kid being somewhat of a tar- get (“he looked, and ipso facto was, differ- ent”). Maybe it was my own trait of being shy that I felt compelled to prolong the stuff- ing of hay and grass into this kid’s shirt. His sudden outburst of tears and anger caused me to reel back. It wasn’t just his threat to “tell the teach- er” but my own immediate realization that, not only had I gone too far, this just wasn’t me. Thereafter, we got to know each other, realized we had a lot of common inter- ests and became good friends, which we remain to this day. Don’t be too hard on yourself, Neil. Something tells me the boy from your past has long forgiven. Roy Smith Bowmanville Playing politics is what politicians do To the editor: So frequently we read or hear, when a pol- itician or party, at any level, makes a deci- sion to act on any matter at all, that their strident opponents slam them for ‘playing politics’ with the issue, as though that’s an astute observation and conclusion. Well, they are all politicians. By defini- tion, since their existence depends on their ability to curry the favour of the electorate, to acquire the requisite votes to attain or remain in office, they all play politics. Even with their more unpopular deter- minations, elected representatives real- ize that they cannot please everyone all of the time but count on voters to eventually understand difficult decisions and the give them credit for making them. They study opinion polls religiously and often conduct their own. Positively or neg- atively, it all gets back to politics because public transparency and accountability rightly demand it. Indeed, accusing a poli- tician of playing politics is like accusing a barber of cutting hair, a cab driver of oper- ating a car, a firefighter of saving lives, etc. ‘Playing politics,’ in derogatory terms, just might be the emptiest, most meaning- less criticism that could possibly be lev- elled at a politician. It’s also a good clue that the speaker doesn’t actually have sub- stantive criticism to offer. Larry Wood Bowmanville Really relaxing ... like, really! I just got back from two weeks off at a cottage. That’s an enormous feat for me. Just granting myself 14 days to do anything I pleased, so long as it was not income or career related, was a huge hurdle. As a self-unemployed artist, I had over two and a half decades of habitual work- seeking/hay-making behaviour to over- come in order to allow this to transpire. I had to turn off the neon red survival sign that constantly flashes in the left hemi- sphere of my brain: ‘This job could be your last job!’, ’How will you feed the kids?’, ‘Why don’t you think about maybe dyeing your hair?’ That’s some major re-wiring. It’s sort of like asking Donald Trump to not think about humiliating anyone for two weeks. I had to somehow convince myself that two weeks of real, idle leisure would not direct- ly result in my children and me living in a refrigerator box under the Bloor viaduct. Two weeks seems to be an important time frame for any sense of real physiolog- ical stress release to occur. No doubt like many of you, I have taken numerous one- week vacations. However, the week-long retreat is really not much more than an expensive distrac- tion. You never really settle down. You get ramped up for the trip, spend a few days hurling back margaritas, all-you-can-eat coconut shrimp and industrial-strength Kaopectate, then you get ramped up to head back home. If you’re like me, you probably don’t even get through all the underwear you packed. There’s very little opportunity for any real downloading to occur. That’s why that second week is so pre- cious. That’s when you begin to see real change. You know you’re starting to actually relax when you no longer hear anyone saying, ‘What do you guys wanna do?’ or ‘Who’s up for Scrabble?’ or ‘Let’s make s’mores!’ Those things are all well and good and certainly have their place within a vaca- tion, but they are still activities. They are still stimulating. They still require effort. For my part, I knew I was finally begin- ning to really chill out when an entire day went by and I realized I’d spent it all ... reading. It was exquisite. A book has so much more to offer you when you don’t simply date it for a half-hour here or there but actually commit yourself to the rela- tionship. It’s an entirely different experi- ence. Another marvelous phenomenon that will hopefully occur in that second week is the birth of more and more silence. When people get comfortable with one another and their surroundings, really comfort- able ... they don’t need to fill the air with talk any more. That first week is positive- ly crammed with excited babble: “Wow, there’s a jet ski, here!”, “Jeepers, Loretta’s wearing a thong!”, “Hey! All-you-can-eat coconut shrimp!” But those last four or five days, it’s differ- ent, it’s like everyone is suddenly on magic mushrooms. “Whoa ... it’s totally cool that a pine cone is actu- ally, like, a cone.” Long period of silence, broken only by the sound of an all-dressed potato chip being savoured, then ... “Yup, it totally is.” When you hit that stage of relaxation, you can almost hear your blood pressure dropping ... Yup, you totally can. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

I thought it was a nice contrast from the rest of the black in the front row so I took this picture. RYAN PFEIFFER rpfeiffer@northumberlandnews.com Julie Lotton: These as well as coyotes are NORMAL URBAN WILDLIFE just like raccoons and skunks. Peo- ple are only seeing them more because of habitat loss and because people are making a bigger deal about sightings. Be cautious with your pets. No pet should be left unsupervised outdoors anyways. Foxy Facebook comments Donna Klopper: Really, all this excitement about foxes? If we watch our animals like we should ... no problem. Cats should not be out running the neighbourhood any more than dogs. Babbs Coady: We share the land, we must understand our neighbours whether they be 2-footed or 4 (personally I often find it easier to share with the 4-footed ones). Sarah Van De Walker: I live in this area and have seen this guy on several occa- sions. He casually just trots across our lawn. He hasn’t caused us any problems. Glenn Hall: We get coyotes running down Dwight ave and they live at the bottom off the GM car plant all year round. David Videto: Normal behavior. Keep the rodent population in check...but also could be your cat. Gary Mccollom: All humans please leave North America and let the animals take over. I wonder how many of these commenters live in these new subdivisions in North Oshawa and other areas around the region. 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 3 8 AP OUT ON THE TOWN AUGUST 18 CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS ART GALLERY. 62 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax, presents its first Black and White Exhibition, featuring new and experienced artists who enjoy working with black and white media such as char- coals, paint, pencil, pen and ink and photog- raphy.

The annual Ride 4 United Way will be held Sunday, Aug. 25, at 8 a.m., beginning and ending at Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Centre in Bowmanville. The ride is designed to appeal to a broad range of cyclists and includes four ride courses of 160 kilometres, 100k, 60k, a com- munity ride of 25k and two timed sections for more competitive riders that features cash prizes for the top times. “Our objective at the outset was to devel- op a ride which would certainly raise much- needed funds for the United Way, but also importantly promote the physical benefits of cycling and the enjoyment of the out- doors in Durham, and help to promote how great cycling can be right here in Durham,” said Robert Howard, campaign director for the United Way of Durham Region. “We have received tremendously positive feedback and I can’t help but think that we are achieving our stated objectives.” Lunch, showers and massages will be available for participants at the finish.

A butcher by trade, the farm boy from Campbellford is as much at ease behind the counter of his Port Perry shop, taking cus- tomers’ orders and offering cooking advice, as he is with a knife in his hand. On a recent sunny morning, the meat merchant pauses for a moment while talk- ing business and skips over to help a cus- tomer. A man wearing a Blue Jays cap leans over the display case, nearly bumping his brim against the glass, as he surveys the steaks on display. The two men exchange a few words and a laugh, the customer points at a couple of thick steaks and soon they’re wrapped up and ready for the barbecue. “It costs me nothing to offer good service, to make people feel comfortable and to try and help them,” says Mr. Herrington upon his return. Being a butcher is not for the squea- mish. Mr. Herrington got his start in the butchering business when he was in high school. He began by cleaning the kill-floor of a local abattoir and was soon handed a knife to carry out odd jobs. “I have a strong stomach,” he says. “Later, they gave me a knife and I started doing lit- tle jobs and the faster and the better I got, the more responsibility they piled on me.” Working at local butcher shops through high school co-op programs, first in Camp- bellford and later Port Perry High School after his family moved to Scugog in 1991, confirmed Mr. Herrington’s career choice. “It’s very much a dying art. But there’ll always be a need for it as long as we’re at the top of the food chain,” says Mr. Herrington. The work of a butcher, he continues, is something most people don’t want to dwell on. Instead, they just want to pick up their dinner already pre-sliced and packaged. “People don’t want to see the animal any- more,” he says. “They don’t want to think of how it gets to them.” Butchering is not a recognized trade. There are butcher schools, which teach basic cuts and the simple do’s and don’ts of slicing meat, but most aspiring to a career in cutting, says Mr. Herrington, go the old- fashioned route and simply gain experi- ence. “You can’t expect to start the ladder half- way up,” says Mr. Herrington, who eschewed butcher school in favour of hands-on expe- rience. After cutting his teeth at the abattoir, Mr. Herrington worked at various meat-packing plants, developing his skills, before decid- ing to go into business on his own as a meat merchant in 1999 when he purchased the former Reg Cook Quality Butchers shop. “After 22 years, there’s still something to learn,” he says. “What success you have is measured in where you take it and if you’re willing to adapt to change.” The first rule of being a butcher is don’t touch someone else’s knife. “We’re very protective of our knives,” says Mr. Herrington, who prefers a six-inch boning knife for his work behind the counter. “We’re not communal.” Butchers are finicky about their knives and go through about one a year. “They’re like shoes -- everyone has their own brand they like, their own feel,” he says. It takes a few months to get comfortable with a knife, both the handling of the blade and knowing where to cut. “Knife skills are huge in this business,” says Mr. Herrington. “But after awhile, the knife kind of feels like an extension of your arm.” Safety is also key. The Port Perry butch- er has worn chainmail gloves and aprons in the past and has been to the emergency room more times than he cares to remem- ber. “It’s a by-product of what we do,” he says of runs to the hospital for stitches. “But most of the time it’s preventable.” Mr. Herrington is an early riser. Most days he’s at his Queen Street butcher shop by 5:45 a.m. He starts preparing for the day’s work and then either heads home for a few moments with his wife and children or to the gym before returning to work around 8 a.m. where he’s greeted by two or three other employees. “There’s always something to do. Prep work, sausages, meat pies, hamburger pat- ties ... we do everything here,” says Mr. Her- rington. Meat comes in all shapes and sizes and the key to a successful business, explains Mr. Herrington, is to make the most of every bit. “You have to maximize your return by finding a way to turn the less desirable parts into very desirable things,” he says. The best thing to do with beef, once it arrives at the butcher shop, is to place it in the cooler and forget about it. Beef should age for a minimum of two weeks; three weeks is preferable. Leaving it alone allows the fibres to break down, maximizing tenderness and flavour. After about 21 days, the beef is cut down to its basic components and prime cuts and is ready to go home with customers. Pork doesn’t take nearly as long. About one day a week is spent preparing pork cuts. Chicken shipments come in three or four days a week; the birds are prepared one day and ready to eat the next. “People buy with their eyes. We try to entice them by making things look pretty,” says Mr. Herrington. “It takes a lot of work to get products to the (display) counter.” View the photo gallery @ durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- In the cooler at Herrington’s Quality Butchers, Brent Herrington carved a 110-pound hip of dry-aged beef (one- eighth of a carcass) off the bones on July 20. The hip was one of 12 being prepared for the annual Greenbank United Church beef supper.

But what a wild night! A friend and I were up in cottage coun- try, taking a fiddling course at Halibur- ton School of the Arts, and stayed on in town after class for a rollicking evening session put on by our teacher and other musicians in a local restaurant. It had been a rainy day, but when we stepped out onto the village street around nine o’clock, the sky to the west was clear, the planet Venus glowing like a jewel. Rain’s over! I thought, looking forward to summer sunshine the next day. But when we drove south out of town, head- ing for the family farm near Minden, where we were staying, it was a differ- ent story. Looming above the trees was a wall of darkness. No twinkling stars or glowing planets in this direction. The cloud bank was huge and dense, an omi- nous presence. There was no wind, no thunder, no jagged bolts, but every few seconds lightning flashed, illuminating the clouds from within. This raging electri- cal storm seemed to be trapped inside those mountains of cloud, furiously try- ing to get out. My friend was driving, and I tried to be brave and calm as we navigated the twisting roads, sometimes turned bless- edly away from the storm, sometimes heading straight for it. I didn’t mention that we’d had two tornados and a downburst wreak havoc in our sugar bush in the last decade, uprooting 200 trees. Not the time to bring up that scary detail! But I was relieved when we arrived safe and sound at the farm half an hour later, to find that eerie wall of flashing clouds rolling off to the south. We stood in the dark in the farmyard and watched it retreat, leaving in its wake a velvety black sky strewn with constella- tions and the Milky Way. My friend saw a shooting star, one of the Perseid mete- ors, streak by, part of that strange, silent light show. High drama on our summer holidays. I couldn’t help being glad I wasn’t out on a canoe trip, or lying in a tent as that electric storm rolled over. I’ve done that more than once in the past, the most dramatic one lasting 10 hours. But I kind of regretted it, too. A recent episode of David Suzuki’s The Nature of Things explored the health effects that living in a flood of electric light may be having on us humans. Until recent cen- turies, we used to fall asleep with the setting sun and wake up at dawn, in sync with natural daylight. Health experts say that spending even a week following that pattern -- on a canoe trip, for exam- ple, or even at the cottage -- can reset our circadian rhythms, with beneficial results. Plus provide a front row seat for some incredible acts of nature. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks. net or 905-725-2116. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far- flung corners of the planet. margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of Zobiana and Harper on Facebook Durham residents can make a difference in pets’ lives I am always in awe of the people I meet who run charities or not-for-profit organi- zations to help animals in need. They hear sad stories every day, dedicate a lot of time to fundraising and making con- tacts, and are faced with some pretty tough decisions on a daily basis. Many exist right here in Durham, and I’m always grateful for them. But it always seemed so unattainable to me, something that was too big to even start thinking about. However, I spoke to someone this week who just opened her own not-for-profit corporation in July, and was already excitedly planning her first fundraising event. She made me feel like if I truly wanted to open my own one day, it will take a lot of hard work, but it will worth it. Whitby resident Karissa Hadden is a local vet tech and lifetime animal rescuer who chases storms for fun. She brought her pas- sions together when she decided to create Never Stop Saving Animal Disaster Res- cue Transport, which is dedicated to the rescue, transportation and medical care of companion animals in disaster situations. Karissa started the process of getting NSS off the ground in May, when Moore, Okla. was hit by a devastating tornado. A friend of hers at the scene had found a litter of kittens in a home that was destroyed, and asked Karissa if she could help. Although she was home in Whitby, she worked for five hours before she was able to find a safe place for them. Sadly, two days later, two of the kittens died. At that moment, the ani- mal lover decided she had to do something and started getting everything in order for her cause. So using her contacts in the weather world, she and other volunteers are now prepared to work side by side with meteo- rologists to make mobile rescue available for immediate response across Canada and the United States in disaster situations. “Even weather in Ontario is changing drastically,” she said, noting recent torna- dos and a water spout. “It’s not just tornadoes I want to cover. It’s floods, hurricanes, fires and man-made catastrophes too.” NSS will also provide disaster prepared- ness education, assist in finding lost pets in disasters, and will compassionately remove pets that survive when their owners do not. It took countless hours without sleep and mountains of paperwork to receive not-for- profit status, and to get NSS up and run- ning, but once Karissa saw that first dona- tion, she realized it was all worthwhile. “I worked very, very hard to do this and I finally feel for the first time in my life, I’m doing exactly what I need to be doing and want to be doing every single day,” she said. NSS has launched an indiegogo cam- paign, with a goal of raising $80,000. Visit neverstopsavingadrt.org to learn how to contribute. Upcoming A fundraising event for Never Stop Saving is on Sunday, Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Crown and Firkin in Whitby, 112 Col- borne St. East.

At the time, papers were sent on to Otta- wa rather than given to individuals, and Ms. Madder went on to settle with her hus- band Albert, a Canadian soldier whom she married in England in 1941, in Pickering, where they raised six children. After Mr. Madder’s death in 1986, Ms. Madder approached Veteran’s Affairs about receiving her husband’s military pension, but was told she didn’t qualify. “They never recognized me when my husband was a soldier,” she said, noting he always received the pension benefit allotted to a single man, rather than a man married with children. “After he died I tried for five years to get something from Veterans Affairs to recog- nize him as being in the army but they said I wasn’t entitled to anything. So five years later I tried again.” Ms. Madder never gave up trying to cor- rect her family’s record with Veterans Affairs, but received another shock just a few years ago when she went to apply for a new health card and was denied because she wasn’t listed as a Canadian citizen. After a few calls to her area MP, and sev- eral visits to Service Canada with docu- ments including income tax records, the mistake was corrected, and her official status was changed from immigrant to citizen. Even then, it wasn’t until 2012, 25 years after she first contacted Veterans Affairs in 1987, that she was finally award- ed both the military pension and medals that would have been awarded to her hus- band. “This is very fulfilling,” she said of the victory, which was achieved with the help of area MPs, the ombudsman and assis- tance from the Pickering Legion. Ms. Mad- der received a settlement but wouldn’t give any details. Members of the Pickering Veterans Asso- ciation, along with family and area politi- cians, gathered at the Association’s annu- al Garden Party to celebrate Ms. Madder’s success, and her 91st birthday. “We’re here to mark your latest victory and what you had to go through to get it, that was unconscionable,” said Pickering Mayor David Ryan. “That never should have happened, so good for you for fighting and winning, Hopefully you’ve opened the door for a lot of other people who deserve it.” Ms. Madder will be awarded two Memo- rial Cross medals in honour of her hus- band’s service, one for her and one for the family, which are scheduled to arrive in September. “I think really and truly this is one of the more exciting things in life, we’ve never had a medal for anything,” Ms. Madder said. “It will be a great excitement when I can say my husband was worth all that. I’m very satisfied to know this is there and I’m not fighting anymore.” PICKERING -- Doris Madder fought 26 years to receive a military pension after her late husband served two years in the army in the 1940’s. She finally received the pension in November 2012. The Pickering Veterans’ Association held a party in her honour. ryan pfeiffer / MetrolanD ‘‘It will be a great excitement when I can say my husband was worth all that. I’m very satisfied to know this is there and I’m not fighting anymore.’ Doris Madder, who will now receive her late husband’s medals, pension Catholic Family Services of Durham a step closer to being bilingual Organization gets Trillium grant • Catholic Family Services of Durham is one step closer to becoming a fully bilingual agency thanks to a two-year, $114,800 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The grant will be used to ensure all agency documents, including corpo- rate documents, are available in English and French to increase access to servic- es for the Francophone population and increase the likelihood of Francophone representation on the agency’s board of directors. “The dedication that Catholic Family Services of Durham has shown to serving our community is remarkable,” said MPP Joe Dickson. “With this two year finan- cial commitment from the Ontario Trilli- um Foundation, CFS Durham is one step closer to becoming a bilingual agency with the means to better addresses the needs of the growing Durham Region.” • The Home Depot Canada Foundation and several Durham area Home Depots have raised $31,956 to support YWCA Durham through the Buy a Hammer, Build Our Community Campaign. The Oshawa Home Depot was one of the top three stores in the Eastern dis- trict, raising more than $10,000 at the store alone. “Thank you just doesn’t seem enough,” said Wendy Leeder, co-executive direc- tor and shelter services director for YWCA Durham. “We are completely stunned, over- whelmed and overjoyed. The money will allow us to provide our many services to so many women and children who truly deserve the help. On behalf of the women and children who often don’t have a voice, may I express our sincer- est appreciation to Home Depot Canada and their customers for caring.” From May 30 until July 3, custom- ers were able to purchase a paper ham- mer for $2 at the checkout of any Home Depot store across Canada. Since 2007, the Buy a Hammer, Build Our Commu- nity campaign has raised more than $3 million for over 360 Canadian charities.

It has gotten progressively worse In the past 3 months. The pain is most intense when I first get out of bed in the morning, or when I first stand up. It then seems to ease somewhat. It feels like a bruise on the inside of my heel right where the arch begins. What might this be and how can I treat it? It sounds as if you are describing a condition known as PLANTAR FASCITIS, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick, fibrous, connective tissue running from the inside of the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintaining the arch of the foot. Initially the onset of symptoms are gradual and of low intensity but they soon progress to a sharp, persistent pain. The pain is worse when first arising in the morning or at the beginning of any activity. It will then lessen after a few minutes of walking but will recur after a rest or with prolonged movement. Although the symptoms are in the heel, the heel is not the problem. PLANTAR FASCITIS occurs as a result of excessive pronation and a flattening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, leading this inflexible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fibers will then develop some mirco tears, swelling and inflammation. Some of the predisposing factors leading to plantar fasciitis are: •Flattening of the arch (lengthening of the foot) •Increased pronation •High arched rigid feet •Inappropriate shoes •Toe or hill running •soft terrain running (for example jogging on the beach) •Increased age or weight •Pregnancy can cause feet to lengthen and splay Treatment for PLANTAR FASCITIS involved R.I.C.E., rest, ice, compressions, and elevation. Exercises are also of some benefit. These include rolling the arch on a tennis ball, picking up a towel with your toes and Achil- les tendon stretches. Also working on your quadriceps will help. Woman may find wearing a shoe with a slight heel height of 1 to 1 ∏ inches will help maintain better arch height and thus ease some symptoms. Oral anti-inflam- matories, cortisone and physiotherapy only address the inflammation and not the root cause, which is the foot mechanics. The best treatment is pre- scribing a custom made foot orthotic. It will control the foot mechanics and minimize pronation while supporting the arch. It will decrease the pull of the fascia at the heel, thereby lessening the inflam- mation and pain. Orthotics should always be made from a negative impression plaster case in a non-weight bearing position. This will reproduce the foot in a normal arched neutral position. Resolution of the pain with orthotics can take from sev- eral weeks up to 4-6 months, depending on how long you have had the problem. If pain persists longer, a surgi- cal plantar release may be indicated. As with most other problems, it is important to address symptoms as soon as they appear.

Visual artist Grant Cole agrees. His own great reset is the subject of an exhibition, Heart, opening Aug. 15 at The Vault Gallery in Oshawa. Cole’s subject matter is the old stock hous- ing of Oshawa and time spent with children, family and creative work. Florida theorized that the aspirational lifestyle based on cheap credit, commuting and suburban sprawl has collapsed onto itself for good. Cole, 39, sees his generation as the ‘won’t ever haves’. But he is not disap- pointed with this status; he welcomes it. “The greatest illness of where we are now,” says Cole, “is people are aspiring to more than they are capable of ever achieving and I think there is an inherent depression that comes along with that. I think it’s more seen in a suburban environment than around here. “Oshawa is kind of unique in that there is not much separation between class, race or economic position. It’s a real people city. “In the illustrations for new suburban housing you see the dreamworld they want you to buy into. No one ever looked at the house in my paintings as a dreamworld. But it’s a stark reminder why it’s all whacked because they’re adorable and they’re mod- est and affordable. And easy to maintain and readily available. Ten years ago the sub- urban dream was attainable and now things have changed. The glory days of the early 2000s are over. It’s a reset.” Cole once lived those glory days. He ran a successful Jeep accessory business in Ajax and was architectural co-ordinator for Fash- ion Week in Toronto. When manufacturing costs rose, he folded his business and he has moved on. He is now a graphic designer specializing in vinyl transfers. Using glass, wood, vinyl cutouts as well as computer-enhanced photography, Cole creates artwork that is beyond just an image, something closer to sculpture, something architectural. “It’s important that it’s not a painting, a photograph or an illustration,” he says. “When you look at my work you know that house exists,” he says.

A competitive swimmer with the Pickering Swim Club, the Pickering resi- dent decided early on that sailing was going to be his sport of choice. He has worked his way through various forms through the years, settling on the 49er class with team- mate David Mori of Oakville. The two have a short-term goal of mak- ing the 2016 Olympic Games, and a long- term one for 2020. The duo are certainly on course, finishing second to a very expe- rienced boat from Newfoundland at the recent Canadian championships held in Kingston. As an example of the progress they are making, they did manage to beat the Canadian representative from the 2012 Olympics, who finished third. “We wanted to win it, but we weren’t par- ticularly surprised by the second place,” said Barnes, who is in Kingston training for CORK, considered one of the biggest regat- ta’s of the year in the country. “We want- ed to beat them. It ended up being a real- ly close race so we were happy with that. It felt good to be second in the country.” It was the fourth time Barnes and Mori have competed at nationals, equalling their best performance of a second place finish a year ago. Barnes, a Dunbarton grad, began sailing at the age of nine with the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club, advancing through the junior program and joining the racing team at age 14. While with the high performance team at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, he met Mori, forming a team and moving into the 49er class in 2009. Their team is called 905 Sailing, and their sail number, 905, is reflective of the area code both athletes live in. Barnes, 22, just finished up his honours degree in geography at Trent University, where his studies on climatology, hydro- meteorology and physical landforms lends itself well to his sailing pursuits. Earlier this year the duo spent a month training and competing in a couple of major events in Europe. “It’s a little bit different,” says Barnes of the training methods and conditions. “Everywhere you go the conditions are a little bit different.” With only one boat from Canada able to qualify in the 49er class for the 2016 Olym- pic Games in Brazil, Barnes said he will continue to shoot for that spot. Failing that, inclusion on the team for the 2020 Games is also targeted. In September Barnes and Mori will be travelling to Marseille, France to repre- sent Canada at the 49er World Champion- ships. The event is considered a major step towards qualifying for the 2016 summer Olympics. The team’s website is www.905sailing.ca PICKERING -- Justin Barnes, front, of Pickering, and his teammate David Mori finished second in the 49er class at the recent Canadian championships. The teammates are hoping to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Photo By luKa Bartulovic Pickering Panthers open pre-season on Friday Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Pan- thers will drop the puck on their exhi- bition schedule on Friday night. The Ontario Junior Hockey League club will host the Stouffville Spirit at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex in the first of six pre-season games before the end of the month. The training camp for the Panthers officially opened on Wednesday, when about 35-40 prospects and vet- erans were expected to take part in intra-squad games that were going to continue on Thursday. After Thurs- day’s game, GM/head coach Mike Galati was expecting to make some releases, whittling the number down to 25-30 in time for Friday’s game against Stouffville. Those players will remain with the club through three games next week- end. Galati said the summer recruiting process went well as the Panthers try to improve on a 13-37-5 campaign last season. “I think we got a lot better in the back end,” he said of bolstering the defence. “Up front we still need a couple of pieces, but we still have some time to evaluate and get the two or three guys that we need.” In goal, both Conor Barrie and JP Cesario are eligible to return. Both goalies are 1993-born, and a change could be in the mix to bring a young- er goalie in to develop. The Panthers will also host the Toronto Jr. Canadiens on Friday, Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m., and the St. Michael’s Buzzers on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. They travel to Stouffville (Aug. 25), Toronto (Aug. 28) and St. Michael’s (Aug. 30). 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 3 23 AP COLLECTOR’S SALE SATURDAY-AUGUST17-8:30am-1:00pm 27BROADBRIDGEDR OFFEASTAVENUENORTHOFLAWRENCE •BARITEMS-LABATT’SBLUEBARLIGHTS •ANTIQUESTYLERADIOS•GLASSWARE •PINBALLMACHINE•COLLECTORTELEPHONES (ELVIS-MICKEYMOUSE-101DALMATIONS) •ART&PRINTS•SERVINGPLATTERS •BISTROBARTABLE&CHAIRS •PATIOSET-W/4CHAIRS&BARCART •1925FORDROADSTERPEDALCAR •ONE-OF-A-KIND40’SROADSTERPULLCAR •OVER200-45’S&MORE!

The Cubs didn’t get off to the start they wanted, losing to the North York Blues 14-4. Game two was better, with the Cubs beating the Etobicoke Rangers 15-14. The Cubs had an 11-4 lead and struggled to hang on to it as Etobicoke fought back to take over 14-11. With the time limit quick- ly approaching, the boys were able to squeeze in an extra inning and turn this game upside down. The Cubs went after the Royal York Cardi- nals fast and hard in a 20-0 victory to easily secure a spot in the championship game. In a rematch with the North York Blues, the Cubs got some revenge with a 15-4 victo- ry. This is the first tournament champion- ship win of the season. The Cubs placed third in the Burlington Minor Baseball Association tournament and are currently 15-0 in their regular season games. It was an exciting weekend with outstand- ing contributions by entire team, includ- ing Colin Cymbalista, Blake Simpson, Eric Edwards, Tomas Saldias, Ben Crompton, Owen Jennings, Noah Theodor, Evan Tor- res, Blake Petsinis, Richie McCallum, and Keishon Williams. The team is coached by Gord Jennings, Ricky McCallum, Steve Anning, Jessica Jennings and Kayla Allen. 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 3 24 AP With your support, local Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners were able to help deserving kids, including kids from this community,realize their potential and discover new strengths at one of our Tim Horton Children’s Foundation Camps.

PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E The sun has finally come out of hiding, which means it’s a great time of year to let your vehicle shine. Diamond Shine offers a package that fits every budget, from a hand wash starting at just $19.95 to complete detailing. The vehicle is hand washed, using high quality soap, and hand dried with a chamois to achieve a brilliant shine. The difference can be seen in the details! While the bright sun might lift your spirits, it can also cause your vehicle’s paint to fade. To protect your paint from the sun, rain and elements, and also to give it a long lasting shine, it’s time to bring it in for a professional wax and polish. The wax will protect your vehicle from the elements, including harmful UV rays and acid rain. Diamond Shine only uses high quality, professional products that are not available over the counter, including silicone- based products that last. Even six months after cleaning, a simple wipe of the dash with a towel can bring back the shine! 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. Inside, your vehicle can look and feel almost like new again with an interior detailing package. Interiors are vacuumed, shampooed and detailed. Don’t let dog hairs and spilled drinks spoil the interior of your vehicle! Bring it in to Diamond Shine to be cleaned and have your upholstery protected to keep it looking great all summer long. Book your appointment in advance to avoid disappointment! “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 Elawar of Diamond Shine. Diamond Shine is a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Durham Region since 1994. They are located at 221 Westney Rd. S., in Ajax (just north of Bayly and directly across from the Super 8 Motel). For more information or to book an appointment please call (905) 619-2899, or visit the website at www.diamondshine.ca. Diamond Shine accepts all major credit cards, including GE Fleet Service Cards, Wheels Inc., PH & H, ARI & Transport Action Fleet Service Cards. Wedding Season is here!
