On July 19 Coun. Dickerson pleaded guilty to contravening the Municipal Elections Act by filing an incorrect financial statement and exceeding the campaign spending limit during the 2010 municipal election. The judge ordered him to pay a total of $17,500 in fines and return nearly $30,000 to the City of Pickering to cover expenses that were improperly categorized in his election finance filing. He was per- mitted by the judge to keep his seat on council. Over the course of the process, which began in 2011 when several complaints were filed with the City, the municipality has spent a total of $297,375.21. See CITY page 10 OSHAWA -- Pickering Councillor Doug Dickerson left the Oshawa courthouse after pleading guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations. The City of Pickering will be on the hook for nearly $300,000 in legal fees.

The girl wasn’t injured and an arrest was quickly made after cops, respond- ing to the victim’s 911 call, converged on the home in the Westney Road and Kingston Road area, Durham police said. The girl, 16, was home alone when she heard a knock at the door just before 11 a.m., police said. She ignored the knock but soon thereafter heard someone forcing their way into the house. As the intruder ransacked the home the girl hid in her bedroom closet and called police. Responding cops found the bandit in the house; he was arrested after a brief foot chase. There was no contact between the suspect and the girl, police said. The suspect has since been linked to another Ajax break-in on the same day. Jermaine Chambers, 23, of Gulliver Road in Toronto faces charges including break and enter, assault to resist arrest and breach of probation. 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.

On Aug. 21 around 11 p.m., a 20-year- old man and three teenage female friends were chatting in the area of Kingston and Liverpool roads in Pickering, near Bronte Square, when a man on a bicy- cle rode past them. He returned minutes later and this time got off his bike and pulled a gun on the group, demanding cash, police said. The suspect assaulted one of the vic- tims and once the man had handed over his cellphone, the thief fled westbound on his bicycle, along a pathway that leads to Storrington Street. The suspect is described as a white man, 18 to 20 years old, five foot nine to five foot 11 and 120 to 140 pounds. He was wearing a disguise over his face and riding a black bicycle.

Still trying to make sense of their trag- ic loss, family and friends of the slain Nipissing Universi- ty student, who was shot and killed out- side her Bracebri- dge home in April, are working togeth- er to raise money for a new scholar- ship in her name. The memorial scholarship will be awarded annu- ally to students who display the same passion, commitment and advocacy in social services that Ms. Wilson did while working with people with intellectual disabilities at Community Living Kings- ton. “She was a very passionate advocate for people with intellectual disabilities, even from the time she was a child,” said Alison Irons, Ms. Wilson’s mother. “She chose it as a vocation and a pas- sion because it was something she deep- ly believed in in terms of integration for people with disabilities.” Ms. Wilson was just a month shy of graduation with a bachelor of arts (hon- ours) in family and child studies when she was found suffering from gunshot wounds on the front lawn of her home, interrupted while packing up her car to return home to Ajax. Jeremy Raymond Pearson, 32, of South Frontenac, Ontario, was found dead at the scene from gunshots. Ms. Wilson was taken to the hospital, where she suc- cumbed to her injuries. Although police have not elaborated on the circumstances of her death, Ms. Irons has identified Mr. Pearson as Ms. Wilson’s boyfriend. “I’m getting through day by day, it’s incredibly difficult losing my daughter this way,” Ms. Irons said. “I’m very proud of my daughter and proud of the impact she had on people and the example she demonstrated. It helps us to see something positive come out of this, and we’re so very happy with the focus of this scholarship. It’s very consistent with her passion and values.” Ms. Wilson’s friends have already raised more than $1,000 towards the scholarship’s $10,000 endowment. “That has real- ly inspired our fam- ily and helped us in dealing with her murder,” Ms. Irons said of the support. Donations for the scholarship can be made online at www.nipissingu.ca/giv- ing and should specify that they are for a “bursary, award or scholarship in mem- ory of Lindsay Wilson.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial AJAX -- Alison Irons, mother of Lindsay Wilson, a Nipissing University student who was slain in Bracebridge in April, is helping to launch a scholarship in her daughter’s hon- our. Ms. Wilson was a life-long advocate for people with special needs and the schol- arship will be awarded annually to students who demonstrate the same passion, commitment and advocacy in social services. ryan Pfeiffer / MeTrolanD‘‘It helps us to see something positive come out of this...’ Alison Irons, on scholarship set up to honour her daughter, Lindsay Wilson All proceeds from Ride for Kids Sake support Big Brothers Big Sisters in Durham Region.

That’s the legacy of Councillor Doug Dickerson’s Municipal Elections Act contraventions. It didn’t have to cost this much, it didn’t have to drag on for so long and Pickering residents will not soon forget this affair. Nor should they. Last month the veteran Pickering politi- cian pleaded guilty to contravening the Act during the 2010 municipal election by fil- ing an incorrect financial statement and going over the campaign spending limit. The judge ordered him to pay a total of $17,500 in fines and return nearly $30,000 to the City of Pickering. As we said earlier this year, we didn’t buy the councillor’s assertions that it was all the Act’s fault. Again, as a politician who’s been around a very long time, he should know this stuff by heart and, if something was unclear to him, Coun. Dickerson should have sought clarification. To be fair, special prosecutor David Reit- er called Coun. Dickerson’s claim that the contraventions were inadvertent “plausi- ble.” But in the end, Coun. Dickerson apolo- gized for his errors and pleaded guilty. Had he done this much earlier, a lot of time and money could have been avoided. “If he had admitted guilt, shown contri- tion, and paid the money back at the outset of this process then he could have saved the City thousands in legal costs,” said Ian Cumming, who filed one of the complaints against Coun. Dickerson. Instead, Coun. Dickerson said he was innocent. Part of the issue is that when a politician or government, of any stripe, is in office for so long they begin to feel a sense of entitlement, that they belong there and are in a privileged position. Perhaps this is what has happened with Coun. Dickerson. We’ve seen it before at all levels of govern- ment. The next election will obviously be the ultimate test for the councillor, if he choos- es to run again in 2014: if he is defeated, even soundly defeated, then the people will have spoken. And of course the opposite is also true. It’s also important to remember the service the residents who filed com- plaints did for their fellow citizens: they saw something wrong and stepped up to ensure accountability. Yes, ultimately this cost a lot of money. But to have let it pass would have been a greater wrong. Politicians beware. People are watching. Our proroguing prime minister at it again To the editor: So the proroguing prime minister strikes again. It’s no wonder he does not want to stay in the kitchen. Come on, Stephen, where is your backbone? Why turn tail and run? Because he does not want to face the heat over the Senate, the economy, employment figures -- espe- cially for the youth of today -- super pris- ons we do not need and, last but not the least, the deficit. Gordon Robinson Pickering Balance needed in ‘hateful letter’ issue To the editor: Re: ‘Hateful letter galvanizes Clarington community’, editorial opinion, durhamre- gion.com, Aug. 22, 2013. I think it unfortunate that this nasty, intemperate letter has resulted in a mas- sive wave of sympathy for people who can indeed be a thorough nuisance, and who can seriously damage the quality of life for people living in close proximity to them. I certainly wouldn’t want such a per- son living next to me, but if the fates were to make that so then I certainly wouldn’t react in that manner. We have various laws and ordinances covering loud noises and disturbing the peace, and they can be applied if efforts to reason with the parents of such children fail. Unfortunately, the revulsion caused by the letter writer’s hostile tone and unfortu- nate choice of language has turned this into a one-sided issue, which could encourage the parents of such children to greater and greater heights of “entitlement” when they are asked to control the noise level. Let’s maintain a sense of balance over this. It’s very rarely that one side is entirely right and the other side is entirely wrong. Jeff Goodall Oshawa Aid provided at difficult time To the editor: My husband and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the emergency responders and police, along with the many pedestrians who came to our aid at an accident in Newcastle involving our motorcycle and a car on Aug. 4. It is good to know there are so many car- ing individuals around. We would especially like to thank Consta- ble Henderson and Sergeant Flynn as they guided me through the whole process. It is unfortunate that all we ever hear about are the bad incidents when it comes to our police services; they deserve our respect and gratitude for the job they do.

Durham police received a call regarding a possible drunk driver in the area of Salem Road and Hwy. 401 in Ajax at about 10:45 a.m. on Aug 27.Responding officers stopped the suspect vehicle and as they were attempting to arrest the driver, he sped away. Two officers received minor injuries during the escape. Police tracked the vehicle and an officer saw it hit another vehicle in the area of Pickering Beach Road and Greenhalf Drive before get- ting onto the highway heading east toward Whitby. OPP was already in the area of Thick- son Road cleaning up after an earlier crash involving a tractor-trailer when they were notified of the suspect vehicle and joined in the pursuit. The suspect then got off the highway at Thickson Road travelling north, turned onto Nichol Avenue, and then onto Gal- limere Court. The suspect vehicle jumped the curb and travelled between two homes before coming to a stop in a backyard, police said. The suspect got out of the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot when he was caught and arrested by officers. Anthony Moore, 23 of Somergrove Crescent in Pickering faces more than a dozen charges including drug possession, assaulting police, dangerous driving, possession of property obtained by crime and breach of probation.

Joyride ends in Pickering crash Two teens injured after stolen car rolls over PICKERING -- Police are still searching for one girl after a group of runaways crashed a stolen car in Pickering. Two teenage girls are being treated for serious injuries after the crash, while three others fled from the scene of the accident. The incident began just before 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, when a group of one male and five female teenagers, ranging in ages from 14 to 18, pulled into the parking lot at Hwy. 401 and Thick- son Road in Whitby. The group, which included five youths who had run away from group homes, had been riding in a stolen SUV throughout the night, police said. One of the girls was assaulted and forced out of the vehicle in the parking lot, and she called police from a nearby store. Around 11 a.m., the vehicle was seen speeding on Kinsale Road in Pickering. The 18-year-old male driver lost control of the car on the gravel road, causing it to roll over, police said. A 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl found at the scene were taken to hospi- tal with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. One was later transported to a Toronto-area hospital for further treat- ment. The remaining occupants of the vehi- cle, including the man and two 14-year- old girls, fled the scene. Officers searched for the teens with a K-9 team, but later learned they had hitchhiked to the Ajax GO station. Police attended the station and delayed some westbound trains but were unable to find them. On Wednesday, Aug. 21 officers found and arrested an 18-year-old man believed to be the driver, and a 14-year- old girls being sought was arrested when she went to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash. Police are still searching for one 14-year-old girl from Orangeville.

FREE with OHIP Durham Doctor House Call Service Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out that the City had little choice in the matter, as the money was spent as part of a provincially legislated process that kicks in if a complaint is brought forward. “In this case, that required both an exter- nal auditor and a legal process and there are substantial legal fees associated with that,” he explained. “That’s the price of democra- cy.” While the City will be recouping about $36,000 from Coun. Dickerson, including the $30,000 he was ordered to repay by the judge and a further $6,000 in legal fee repayment from an earlier appeal, Mayor Ryan said the act does not allow for any legal action to recoup further costs. The expense will not impact this year’s budget, as it was covered by the City’s legal fee contingency fund. “Every year there’s an amount allocated to legal fees to cover things that come up,” Mayor Ryan explained. “Any given year we have no idea what those will be, we can anticipate certain things but there’s always contingencies. So these expenses were fully covered through that item, and there will be no impact on any other area of the budget.” After entering his guilty plea, Coun. Dick- erson said that the process had also cost him tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and expenses.

Health department officials declined to state which municipality the patient lives in, but confirmed it is a woman in her 50s. As of Aug. 17, there have been 10 prob- able and confirmed human cases of the mosquito-borne disease in Ontario as well as 89 positive groups of mosquitoes identified across the province. Most people who contract West Nile virus will experience mild symptoms including fever, headache, body ache, nausea, vomiting and rashes on the chest, stomach or back. More serious symptoms include muscle weakness, stiff neck, confusion, tremors, numb- ness and sudden sensitivity to light. Symptoms develop between three and 14 days after a person is bitten by a mos- quito and the disease cannot be passed from person to person. “While the overall risk of becoming infected with (West Nile virus) is low, it’s still important for everyone to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites,” said Laura Freeland, manager of envi- ronmental health for the Durham health department. The health department recommends wearing shoes, socks and long-sleeve shirts and full-length pants outdoors, particularly in the evening and at night when mosquitoes are most active. It also recommends using insect repellent with DEET on exposed skin. For more information call the health department’s environmental help line at 1-888-777-9613 or visit durham.ca.

I happened to glance out the sunroom window the other day and saw a tiny bird creeping along a limb of our old leaning lilac. Nuthatch? It was in shad- ow, but I’m pretty sure I saw a stripe over its eye, and it was certainly acting like one of our local red-breasted acrobats. Trying to check for more field marks, I bent closer to the window, and in the pro- cess scared another small bird up into the weeping mulberry. This one showed a flash of yellow under its upturned tail as it dived into the leafy depths -- intriguing enough to send me for my binoculars. Sure enough, they turned out to be my first two migrating warblers of fall: a black-and-white, typically working its way along a tree limb, just like a nuthatch, and a yellowthroat, a common bird of south- ern Ontario thickets and wetland edges. Two tiny birds, heralding a huge shift in global dynamics. With their arrival, the great reverse wave has officially started -- for me, anyway. In the next three to four months, mil- lions of songbirds will be making their way south toward the equator and beyond, escaping our Canadian winter. And any- one on the lookout might see some very interesting species passing through their neighbourhood. I knew migration was already under way, of course, because of the numbers of ruby-throated hummingbirds zipping around our zinnia patch in the last few weeks, and chasing each other away from the nectar feeder. But I was really excited to hear about another migrant several people recently reported in the GTA: olive-sided flycatch- er. Geoff Carpentier saw three southeast of Uxbridge. John Stirrat saw one in Thick- son’s Woods, and Dennis Barry heard one there -- the second half of its “quick, three beers” whistled song. Populations of this species at risk have been plung- ing in recent years, an estimated 72 per cent since 1966. I haven’t seen or heard one all year, so to have any at all report- ed in migration brings a flicker of hope in what’s truly a dark scenario. These stocky, olive-grey birds always feed from an exposed perch atop a snag, flying out to snatch passing bees, wasps and flying ants, as well as moths, dragon- flies and grasshoppers. Their white throat and belly sets off their grey-streaked ‘ v e s t ’. Olive-sided flycatchers have small fami- lies, laying three eggs and raising just one brood a summer. After nesting around bogs, burns and other clearings in boreal and coniferous woods across Canada, they head south to where insects are still flying, undertaking the longest migration of any of our flycatchers, all the way to Venezue- la, Colombia and Bolivia. They spend the winter in coniferous woods on the slopes of the Andes -- 85 per cent of which have been logged in recent decades. 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 Help Durham’s wildlife Roadkill makes me sad. And traffic will only get worse once September hits. Here are some things to keep in mind to avoid hitting wildlife. • Most wildlife-related accidents happen during rush hour since wild animals are most active in the early morning and following sun- set, according to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This is also when road visibility is at its worst. So remain alert during these times and try to slow down. Be careful when rounding a curve, reaching the crest of a hill or when driving anywhere else where your visibility is limited. • Don’t litter. Throwing food or food wrap- pers out of car windows may attract animals to the road. Also, take garbage to the curb the morning that garbage is picked up to prevent animals from lingering on the roadside. • Look for warning signs from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation where deer and moose collisions are most common. When those signs are posted, it usually means at least four of the animals have been struck, so take caution. Consider purchasing an ultra- sonic device that emits a sound inaudible to humans, but frightens large animals like deer. • Ask your municipality to keep the inter- ests of animals in mind when planning roads. For example, they can lower speed limits, especially in areas near parks and for- ests; clear grass and shrubs from the road’s shoulder to deter wildlife from these areas; and plan highways far away from known areas of dense wildlife populations. • And please show compassion for injured animals. If you see one, and it’s unsafe to stop, find a phone and call the local OSPCA or the local animal control. In Durham, the OSPCA’s number is 905-665-7430. If you’re out of the area, call the operator and ask for the local animal control. If you really want to be ready for an animal emergency, here’s what the OSPCA sug- gests you keep in your car: a ventilated card- board box or cardboard cat carrier; towel, blanket and pillow case; eye wear; rubber gloves; thick work gloves; thin board to use as a stretcher; flare or pylon; and a pool liner or rubber mat to handle porcupines. If it’s safe, pull over to the shoulder and turn on your hazards. If you don’t feel com- fortable handling the animal, call for help. If the animal can’t be moved, place a flare or a pylon near it. If the animal seems non-aggressive and is small enough, carefully place it in a towel- lined box and drive to the nearest OSPCA, humane society or vet clinic. If it’s bigger, carefully place it on the stretcher and drag it to the side of the road. And for frogs, turtles and other slow-mov- ing animals, take the time to help them cross the road if you can. Use a large stick or shovel to help push snapping turtles across the road by gently pressing against its shell. Make sure to move the animal in the direc- tion in which it was heading initially. Other- wise, it will only turn around and cross the road again. For more tips visit ospca.ca.

The youths competed against a dozen other scout troops in events including war canoe race, personal flotation swim, match swim, med- ley swim, head-up front crawl race, in and out canoe race, canoe scull- ing race, skipper’s taxi, canoe-over- canoe race, kayak race and solo canoe race. The two championship plaques were secured through team effort and hard work, and represent the first win for the local troop, making the dual victory quite an honour. • Whitby’s Leighanne Rathwell and Oshawa’s Melissa Brown dedicated their summer to helping others with a charitable mission to Guatemala. Ms. Rathwell, a long-time mem- ber of the Whitby Iroquois Soccer Club, teamed up with Ms. Brown to host four soccer clinics, with 125 chil- dren participating in each, with the help of The Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission, which is based in Ajax. Through the generosity of the Whitby Iroquois club Ms. Rathwell was also able to provide soccer shirts for the children and more than 50 soccer balls. The children were taught essential soccer skills and the clinics ended with a match. • WindReach Farm is welcoming a new executive director to its Win- dReach Farm Foundation.

Education Durham university partners with a Toronto college DURHAM -- A new partnership between Seneca College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology will allow Seneca stu- dents to seamlessly pursue a range of degree programs at UOIT without having to repeat courses. Students from select diploma programs can apply the credits they earned at Seneca towards 14 different UOIT programs, including honours undergraduate degrees in arts, com- merce, information technology, health scienc- es and science. Career options include adult education, criminology, legal studies, nuclear power and nursing. “We are happy to partner with Seneca to increase the number of diploma-to-degree pathways for students,” said UOIT president Tim McTiernan in a press release. “This articu- lation further supports UOIT’s commitment to providing unparalleled access to education through multiple pathways to degree comple- tion.” Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE (NC)—A misalignment of your upper and lower teeth may have more consequences than first meets the eye. This ‘bad bite’ can also be the cause of headaches, migraines, and pain in the shoulders, neck, and face. If that sounds like you, it’s probably true. People with teeth in perfect alignment are in the minori- ty – and this means that much of the population is dealing with varying degrees of head and face discom-fort. Now however, neuromuscular dentistry has a proven solution and here’s why from LVI Global, a lead- ing post-graduate dental training centre: When teeth are misaligned they cannot provide the proper muscle support for chewing and swallowing. These facial muscles are then forced into a strained posi- tion, often resulting in pain through- out the face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. To correct bad bite, a neuromuscular dentist takes mea- surements to determine the optimal alignment and then fits you with an orthotic to reposition your jaw to those exact measurements. Once the bite is realigned, the pain (that was caused by the imbalance) often dis- appears. More information, includ- ing how to find this type of spe- cialist where you live, is available online at www.leadingdentists.ca.

The ride begins at Haugen’s Chicken and Ribs, 13801 Hwy. 12 in Port Perry at 9 a.m. and will finish at GP Bikes, 1100 Champlain Crt., Whitby. While riding through the scenic routes of our region, riders will be stopping at various pit stops in each community. Registration is $40 for riders and $20 for passengers. All proceeds benefit children’s mentoring programs offered in Ajax-Picker- ing, Oshawa-Whitby, Clarington and North Durham. “It’s an opportunity for us with a demographic we don’t normally reach,” said Ms. Brown. “We tend to have more female volunteers. The little girls, little sisters, wait less time. The little brothers wait longer.” There are currently 13 to 15 boys on the waiting for a male one-on-one mentor. There are four or five girls waiting for a mentor. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a volunteer-driv- en organization that provides young people with mentoring and friendship by pairing them with adults who act as role models. Last year Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarington served 450 local kids. “It’s fun. We take care of dogs for dog guides and Susan put me in Girl Guides which is really fun. We sew a lot,” said Angelica Roe, 11. Her younger brother, Ashton Roe, has just been matched with a big brother and had one outing. “He fixed my bike,” said Ashton, 8. Every rider will enjoy a continental break- fast, Ride for Kids’ Sake T-shirt, commemo- rative gift, entry into draw, lunch from Baton Rouge in Whitby, silent auction, great prizes and an afternoon of live music. All riders are required to have a valid motorcycle licence, approved helmet and proper insurance to participate. “It will be a great day and goes to a great cause,” said Ms. Brown. “For the rider, it’s great value.” To register, contact Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ajax-Pickering at 905-831-3777 or info@ bbandsofap.com.

John Ross. White courtesy phone. The U.K. has been showing a lot of interest in the Whitby-based country singer since he had his song, Deadman Workin’, placed in the film Love Me. The track, recorded when Ross was a mem- ber of the Jack Rollin’ Dandies, features prom- inently in the movie and since its release in England in 2012, Ross has fielded calls and e-mails from interested fans and industry. “It was released in North America, too,” Ross says. “It’s a vampirish-type move. In the scene, this kid (Jamie Johnston) is a journal- ist, a music critic and he pulls out a record and puts it on the turntable. They play pret- ty well the whole song. When the guitar solo kicks in, he and the girl (Lindsey Shaw) fall back onto his bed. Then it cuts and the next scene is the girl in her room reading a book, listening to the end of the song on her iPod. I’m really happy with it.” The Dandies have since broken up but Ross is now wearing a new outfit called John- ny Ross and The Wild (with ex-members of Bury The Bully, Mike Paglia and Dan Cala- brese). The Wild plays roots country and is already deep into recording. Tours are being planned. “We have recorded two tracks just as a demo,” Ross says. “We will have a single release party and give it out for free. We just got the mix back so I’m thinking late Septem- ber for that.” “August is super busy. We are going to Mon- treal. We’re playing two, three times a week. We have an outdoor street festival in Have- lock.” An occasional member of the Lindsay Broughton Band, Ross also hosts an open mic with Emerson Ireland at The Hub in Oshawa each Monday evening. “When the Jack Rollin’ Dandies came to an end, I was looking for something and I had a conversation with Emerson about how to get more involved in the Oshawa scene,” he says. “I hadn’t concentrated too much on this area previously. I thought about hosting an open mic. I was lost for a while after the band and Emerson was in the same boat. You get to that age, 27, and certain people are not in it for the long haul. They start dropping off or you get into fights over nonsense stuff. I just got tired of it and moved on.” Moving on meant committing himself to making music as a full-time occupation and moving on meant stepping away from detractors and naysayers, he says. Moving on may well take him across the pond and who knows where else? All he has to do is answer that phone.

Sabrina byrneS / Metroland Catch Fevers Ottawa-based electronica dance band Fevers has just released No Room For Light, their debut album. But it was their Passion Is Dead EP from a year or so back that first garnered them the attention of bloggers and music critics, including at the Guardian in the U.K. They draw compari- sons to Stars, Metric, and You Say Party! as well as older acts such as Pet Shop Boys. “In terms of the sounds, electronic music stems from computers and everyone runs the same software so you end up with certain sounds that might sound nostalgic ... like the 80s or stuff that’s super contem- porary like trance or synth samples that might be used by Tiesto but we twist it to get something more original,” says guitarist/ keys player Martin Charbonneau during a phone interview. “Now we are tweaking more and push- ing the envelope but it is weird. Because we all have access to the same sounds you are bound to have something that was used somewhere else.” Fevers has been together for just three years but have already played the Ottawa Blues Fest as well as JUNOFest. Their video for the EP single Passion Is Dead, directed by Shooter McNally, won first prize at the Ottawa Film Festival. No Room For Light was produced by Lawrence Currie, known for his work with Wintersleep. The band was the result of a meeting between bassist Jim Hopkins and Colin MacDougall (guitar, vocals and keys) says Charbonneau. “They both had very different styles,” he says. “Colin is more traditional, guitar and add words, basic rock song, but Jim builds everything in the computer. So Colin would come up with a song and Jim would build around it and make it this electro-pop music. Then they met me and basically we got in the studio at my place and figured out how to play each song. We worked out a bunch of things, found Sarah Bradley (vocals, keys), found Mike Stauffer (drums, sam- plings) then released the EP. We released it for fun but it got traction and got picked up by blogs and we had great feedback. ” Charbonneau says they spent the last year translating their studio work to stage. Fevers brings the magic to The Atria in Oshawa Sept 4. The Gaslights and Adaline are also on the bill. William McGuirk is a freelance writer and longtime Oshawa resident.

Will McGuirk Scene and Heard The Blob: Steve McQueen’s first leading role The 1950s saw a sudden popularity surge in science-fiction movies, particularly the ones about aliens. Memorable classics like The Thing (1951), Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954) and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) only begin to skim the sur- face of the genre’s considerable sum of titles. As for The Blob (1958), recently out on Blu- ray, it stands in a science-fiction class of its own. Over the decades, The Blob has steadily increased in cult favourite status. The plot starts out with two teenagers (Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut) on a date in a small Pennsylvania town. They get startled when they see what looks like a shooting star slamming into earth. Soon it’s discovered that a meteorite (carrying the blob) made landfall. Without warning, the unstoppable and on-the-move monster, a shapeless, gooey mass of matter that grows at an alarming pace, creates havoc and terror on the town as it devours people. Timeline • 1956 -- Film distributor Jack H. Harris tries to unsuccessfully convince producer Bob Lippert to film a science-fiction movie in colour, for much added value, rather than cheaper black-and-white standard applied to most horror movies at the time. Harris decides to becomes a producer; approaches studio owner Irvin S. Yeaworth based in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania; maker of 16mm shorts but eager to step up to 35mm theatrical features. The seed is plant- ed; making of The Blob begins (working title: The Molten Meteor). • 1957 -- Casting for leading parts starts in New York City after pre-production work; there is a chance meeting in Central Park with unknown actor Steve McQueen. A cou- ple of days later, McQueen is seen on TV in The Defender (Studio One anthology series). This convinces the movie scouts that he is their man. First leading role for Steven (Steve) McQueen. Filming starts in the summer, with second- ary acting parts filled by many locals in Ches- ter Springs and nearby Phoenixville. The Blob is the talk of the towns. There is on-the-set tension build-up due to the love interest, Aneta Corsaut, not getting along with McQueen, whom she once dated, a relationship that ended bitterly. • 1958 -- Difficult, gruelling post-produc- tion work ultimately results in a fine and entertaining movie. Release date: Sept. 12. A nifty, Latin-esque, rock ‘n’ roll-ish, half- instrumental, half-vocal main title song helps give The Blob legs. The distinguished and catchy tune, created by Burt Bacharach and Mack David, is recorded by The Five Blobs (actually Bernie Knee with voice overdubs). It becomes a hit record. • 1960 -- Irvin S. Yeaworth directs the nota- ble Dinosaurs! from an original idea by Jack H. Harris. Steve McQueen was to be offered the starring role, but this did not materialize. • 1964 -- McQueen has achieved bona- fide superstar status with The Great Escape. Riding on this popularity, The Blob is re- released. • 1965 -- Movie collector Wes Shank buys the blob, made of silicone and red vegetable dye. • 1972 -- Jack H. Harris produces a sequel, Beware! The Blob, directed by Larry Hag- man. • 1981 -- The Blob comes to Home Video (Video Gems -- VHS). • 1988 -- A remake with the same title as the original is produced. • 1989 -- Laserdisc format of the sci-fi flick is released via Criterion Collection. • 2000 -- The annual Blobfest begins in the town of Phoenixville, where part of the film was made. Highlights include re-creation of the scene where hundreds of screaming moviegoers run away from the blob at the Colonial Theatre. The Blob is on DVD (Criterion Collection). • 2004 -- Irvin S. Yeaworth dies in an auto- mobile accident. • 2007 -- The Colonial Theatre holds a film contest in honour of Irvin S. Yeaworth. • 2013 -- On the 55th anniversary, Criterion Collection issues The Blob on Blu-ray. The yearly Blobfest continues, July 12, 13 and 14. thecolonialtheatre.com/category/ events/blobfest/.

StaGevu.coM Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Pickering’s Brian Arnold to honour mother-in-law at annual Ride for Karen AL RIVETT arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Already a veteran of three previous Ride for Karen cancer fundraisers, Pickering resident Brian Arnold has a spe- cial, more sobering reason to climb on his bicycle and take part in his fourth 100K (cen- tury) ride next month. You see, his wife Michelle’s mother, Jacki Johnston, died of cancer this year, which fur- ther toughened Arnold’s resolve to do what he can to raise money for the worthy charity. “Michelle’s mom just passed away at the end of May,” said Arnold, wistfully, adding cancer has affected other family members over the years. The Ride for Karen, explained Arnold, is near and dear to his heart as it definite- ly poses a challenge physically to finish the day-long, 100K course through York Region. Moreover, every dollar that’s raised from the ride goes directly to support children with cancer attending one of three Ontario camps -- Camp Oochigeas, Camp Quality and Camp Trillium. “It’s a huge physical feat for me and I chal- lenge myself every year,” said Arnold, 40, who’s a detective with York Region Police. “But, it’s also a great event to take part in. It’s the most organized ride I’ve ever been on.” The 12th annual Ride for Karen honours Karen Tobias, who died of breast cancer in 2002 and was a devoted advocate for those living with cancer. Her sons, Kris and Kirk, started the ride in honour of their mother and, in the past 11 years, have raised more than $1.8 million. “They are two unbelievable guys. They do so much great work in the community,” Arnold said of the organizers. Throughout his years completing the ride, Arnold says many police officers within the York Region force have also taken up the challenge to complete the ride. He says he trains with many of these officers two to three times a week in the lead-up to the Ride for Karen event. He notes many of his fellow officers use the Ride for Karen as a stepping stone for the annual Ride to Remember, where police offi- cers cycle in honour of fallen police officers to the Canadian Peace and Police Officers Memorial on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The 2013 ride will go from London to Ottawa in late September. This year’s Ride for Karen starts and ends at St. Joan of Arc High School in Maple on Sunday, Sept. 8. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. for the 160K and 100K events. Regis- tration for the 25K and the Kids Fun Ride events starts at 11:30 a.m. For more information, go to rideforkar- en.com. Cyclist has many reasons to ride PICKERING -- Brian Arnold, a Pickering resident, will take part in the annual Ride for Karen, a York Region bike event that has raised more than $2 million for camps for children with cancer. This is the fourth year he has taken part in the event. He’ll be riding the 100K (century) event.

And that’s a good thing. The Pickering-based club under the tute- lage of former Olympian Tony Sharpe will see nine of its members head off to school to fur- ther their athletic and academic careers.

This season marks the club’s 10-year anniversary, and there will be many extra added to the program this year. The program includes 10 sessions and is open to boys and girls aged 4-16. A large emphasis is placed on fun, while they learn the basic skills of basketball. The coaches will work on developing the participant’s skill through individual and team drills each week. Players will have an opportunity to apply skills and techniques in league play each week. The strength of the program comes from the coaches who have more than 100 years of combined experience. Ron Parfitt, a retired teacher/coach at‎ Pickering High School, who built one of the most success- ful programs in the country over his 30-plus years, is the club’s director of development and heavily involved in the house league program.

There are benefits to having new windows and doors. They improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls to come out and fix the installation from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. In fact, Durham Windows and Doors won the Platinum Award for Best Windows and Doors in the 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 36 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575 or visit the website at www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca.
