This was the first time I said, “I honestly don’t think I can finish.” But then the coaches and other members encour- aged me, and I was able to com- plete it in 34 minutes and 52 seconds. It wasn’t the quickest work- out, but I was pleased I didn’t keel over halfway through. Here is what I had to do: 10 over- head squats with a 35-pound bar; 20 burpees and 20 box jumps; 30 dreaded wall balls; 40 kettlebell swings; and 50 deadlifts using a 65-pound bar. In between each of those exercises, we had to do 10 dou- ble-unders with the skipping rope.

This year 1,380 children registered, top- ping the 2013 total of 1,359. “Reading is such an important skill; stud- ies have found kids can lose a couple of months if they don’t keep up reading over the summer,” says Pickering Public Library CEO Cathy Grant, referring to what’s com- monly called “summer learning loss.” The TD Summer Reading Club is a nation- al program offered each year by public libraries across Canada.

Children will need proof of vaccines against meningococcal and pertussis (whooping cough), and children starting junior kindergarten must prove they’ve been vaccinated for chicken pox (varicel- la), following the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s updated legislation. These vaccines are in addition to cur- rent immunization requirements, which include measles, mumps, rubella, diph- theria, tetanus and polio. The three vac- cines have always been offered, but it’s now mandatory that children have them. “Immunization protects children from many serious diseases that easily spread in schools and the community,” said Ash- ley Schofield, a public health nurse with the health department. Age-specific changes are now in place for meningococcal disease and chicken pox. For meningococcal disease, children entering JK to Grade 6 this school year require one dose of meningococcal group C. Chances are many children will already have received this one. “That one’s routinely offered at one year of age,” said Ms. Schofield. Children entering Grade 7 to Grade 12 require one dose of meningococcal group ACYW-135. If a child is entering high school and did not receive the Menactra vaccine in grades 7 or 8, their healthcare provider will now be able to provide the vaccine. Also, the health department is offering clinics this summer at Durham Region- al Headquarters at 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby. Children entering Grade 7 or Grade 8 will be offered the Menactra vaccine at their school clinic. Also, children entering JK must provide proof of the chicken pox vaccine. One dose of varicella is needed before start- ing JK and the second is needed between four and six years old. Ms. Schofield said the health depart- ment recommends students older than six receive the vaccine. “So though it’s not mandatory, we rec- ommend kids up to the age of 15, born in 2000 or later, to have chicken pox shots,” said Ms. Schofield. The Ontario Immunization Schedule recommends children get pertussis-con- taining vaccines at: two months old; four months old; six months old; 18 months old; 4 to 6 years old; and 14 to 16 years old. Ms. Schofield explained doctors do not report immunization updates to public health when a child receives a vaccine, and the health department relies on par- ents to send in their child’s updates. “It’s recommended that parents talk to their healthcare provider to ensure your child is up to date for their age,” said Ms. Schofied. “They should also provide an updated copy of their child’s immuniza- tion record (yellow card) to the school at the beginning of the school year or direct- ly to the health department.” Parents will receive notification from the health department if their child has missed any required vaccines, requesting they update their child’s immunization record. Residents can keep track of their fam- ily’s immunizations easier by using a new free immunization app from Immu- nize Canada. A link and other immuniza- tion information, such as free clinics, are available at durham.ca/immunize.

Three people from the Ottawa area face more than 460 charges as a result of the alert officer’s observations, made when he was shopping at the Real Canadian Superstore on Harmony Road North the afternoon of Aug. 17. The officer became suspicious of a man making a number of transactions and called in Durham’s fraud unit, police said. When police arrived, the suspect fled on foot but was soon apprehended in the washroom of a store nearby -- with the assistance of a civilian police employee, also off duty. Two other suspects were arrested in a vehicle near the Superstore. Cops seized 121 fraudulent credit cards, encod- ing equipment and $1,600 in cash. Facing numerous fraud-related charges are Ghorden Belleus, 23, of Gloucester, Schneider Olivier, 24, of Ottawa, and 21-year-old Oenone Esperance, of Gatineau, Quebec. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP PROTECTTHE ONESTHAT MATTERTHE MOST! Markham Oshawa Port Hope Belleville Greater Napanee Kingston Brockville Iroquois TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Eastern Mainline Project. The proposed project is needed to meet firm service commitments following the proposed transfer of a portion of the Canadian Mainline capacity to crude oil service from natural gas services as a part of the Energy East Project.The project is also required to meet growing market demand for new supplies of natural gas from the U.S.Northeast. TransCanada is proposing to add new natural gas pipeline facilities to the existing Canadian Mainline system in Ontario.These new facilities would be added in sections between Markham and the Township of South Dundas, on the southern arm of the Eastern Triangle.The preliminary scope of the project included the construction of approximately 370 km of pipeline.TransCanada has now finalized contracts with commercial shippers and determined a refined scope in order to ensure the appropriate amount of capacity is constructed to meet TransCanada’s existing and new firm contractual commitments. The proposed project scope now includes approximately 250 km of 36 inch pipeline with the addition of nine new 11 MW compressor units to be installed at five existing compressor stations. This project is a vital addition to the Canadian Mainline system and will provide homes, businesses, schools and hospitals in Ontario Proposed Pipeline Route Existing Natural Gas Pipeline Existing Compressor Station Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added) NHighway Public Notice – Route Update and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas. TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders.An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year. During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline.We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations. We welcome any questions or comments you may have. TransCanada anticipates submitting our application to the National Energy Board in the third quarter of 2014. Engagement will be ongoing throughout the NEB review process and the construction and operation phases of the project.

The German shepherd, a valu- able member of the K9 unit with dozens of arrests to his credit, died suddenly and unexpectedly on Aug. 15 while off-duty. An exami- nation revealed that he appears to have suffered a medical epi- sode brought on by a blood clot, say police. He would have been six years old in November. PSD Reese and his handler, Detective Constable Jeff Burns, have been a valuable part of the K9 unit since April 2010. The dog excelled at tracking and had boundless energy. He would often bounce beside his partner as he eagerly waited the task at hand, police said. PSD Reese and Det. Const. Burns were responsible for numerous arrests over the past four years, as well as locating weapons and evi- dence across the region. They had recently been certified in drug and gun detection in addition to their other duties. PSD Reese is missed by Det. Const. Burns, his wife and their children. Durham police said the dog was an “excellent partner” to Det. Const. Burns, and “a huge part of the Burns family.” This is the first time that the Dur- ham Regional Police Service has suffered the loss of an in-service canine in the 23-year history of its K9 unit. DURHAM -- Service dog Reese, a member of the Durham police K9 unit, made numerous arrests in his career. He died at age six. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 5 AP We Also Repair and Refinish: • Countertops • Tile Showers & Walls • Sinks & Vanities • Fiberglass Tubs & Showers Each Miracle Method franchise independently owned and operated. 289-277-1364 877-439-4648Or Toll Free See our work at: www.MiracleMethod.com/pickering Don’t replace, refinish!

Once someone escapes from a burning build- ing, they should never re-enter for any reason. “Once out, stay out,” says Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg. Pickering residents are also reminded to make sure there are working smoke alarms installed on every sto- rey of a home, and outside all sleeping areas. “Early detection and warning of fire is crit- ical,” the chief says. “Ensuring everyone is prepared with an escape plan before a fire occurs is equally as important as being equipped with working smoke alarms.” Simple steps for home fire escape planning include: • Making sure everyone knows two ways out of each room, if possible. • Ensuring all exits are unobstructed and easy to use. • If someone in your home has a disabili- ty, developing an escape plan that takes into account their unique needs. Determine who will be responsible for helping young children, older adults and anyone who needs assistance to escape. • Choosing a meeting place outside, such as a tree or a lamp post, where everyone can be accounted for. If a fire occurs and escape isn’t possible, close the door of the room you are in and cover vents and cracks around the door with cloth or tape to keep smoke out. Call 911 or your fire department. Tell them where you are, then signal for help at the window with a light-coloured cloth or a flashlight.

Remnants of massive white pine tim- bers, used more than 150 years ago to build the harbour’s breakwaters, will be employed by the Toronto Region Conser- vation Authority for a post-and-rope rail- ing along a new pathway on the east spit. There are not many eastern white pines, Ontario’s provincial tree, around any more as they were quickly felled. Years ago, the tree was perhaps the biggest nat- ural resource in Pickering. By 1845, when the Pickering Harbour Company was cre- ated, three million feet of lumber was being shipped from Frenchman’s Bay every year. As Becky George, a local history and genealogy librarian with the Pickering Public Library notes, today Pickering resi- dents think of the bay as a place for recre- ation. However its origins were in indus- try and even after the Grand Trunk Rail- way line between Oshawa and Toronto opened in 1856, and shipping declined, the port remained busy. Arnold Mostert, senior coordinator of landscape and parks development for the City of Pickering, marvels at the size of some of the timbers and the number of man hours involved in using them in the bay. Reconstruction of the harbour entrance began in late 2012 and is to be complet- ed in October. A $9-million undertaking, it will feature new concrete walkways, two new breakwaters and a wider, safer har- bour entrance for boaters, making the waterfront even more attractive as a tour- ist and recreation destination. It’s a fantastic project for Pickering resi- dents, whether or not you take a boat out onto the bay and into the lake. The bay is an urban jewel and improving the har- bour entrance and the associated work involved is long overdue. And for out-of-town boaters, one stop will hopefully be enough to encourage them to visit the Nautical Village and come back again and again. That the white pine timbers are being repurposed is the icing on the cake. We think the City should take the opportunity to go a step further and create a histori- cal marker on or near the pathway, maybe even a small gazebo employing some of the white pine to explain the industrial history of the harbour. Police turn to social media to generate community goodwill As protestors and police in Ferguson, Missouri were clashing over the police shooting of an 18-year-old man earli- er this month, a different kind of police interaction was drawing headlines in another part of the state. Video posted by the Kansas City police showed one of their officers busting out some terrible dance moves in a dance-off with a group of kids. The video went viral and afterwards the officer said he hoped that the kids remembered it and when they became adults they would call the police if they needed them for something. The popularity of the video means that it won’t be just a small group of local kids who see the officer’s goodwill gesture, but a much broader community. Meanwhile in Ferguson, there’s no shortage of video of mayhem, and one wonders what kind of impression kids in that town will have when they grow up. Police services, including Durham’s, have long recognized the importance of community policing. That used to mean walking the beat, get- ting to know local families, or stopping to chat with kids. These days it includes participating in online communities and most police forc- es, including Durham’s, are becoming increasingly active on social media plat- forms. Those online interactions with the pub- lic are necessary because otherwise we would only hear of social media and policing intersecting in negative ways. A bystander shoots a photo of a cop behav- ing badly and it goes viral. One example is video of Toronto officer Babak Andalib-Goortani striking protes- tor Adam Nobody during the G20 pro- tests. The officer was ultimately convicted of assault. Issuing a press release or promising an investigation won’t counteract a negative impression of police in that kind of situa- tion. But positive interactions between mem- bers of the public and the police, whether in person or online, ultimately will. -- Contact social media columnist Reka Szekely on Facebook or on Twitter @rszekely Reka Szekely Reporter Social Media 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 7 P Denture Clinic Creating Smiles.

Those conversations are a chance for library staff to get feedback on books, and for kids to develop verbal, social and memory skills, Ms. Grant says. Participants can read anything -- books, magazines, comics, newspapers and audiobooks all count. Kids can read independently, read to someone else or have someone read to them. The reading club also includes a full roster of free programs at the library. This year’s Eureka! theme encouraged kids to create and invent. The Pickering library’s offerings included crafts, gardening, invention contests, littleBits circuitry, movie- making, soap carving, weaving -- even homemade hovercrafts. “It’s summer but they’re still learning, just in a fun way,” says Pickering resident Amber Evans, whose six- and nine-year- old sons love the reading club. “It’s nice for them to read things they choose, that are interesting them. It shows them that they can enjoy reading for fun.” Ms. Grant attributes this year’s record- breaking participation to strong pro- motion of the club at local schools and events, and the fact that Pickering Public Library was recognized as having one of the best summer reading clubs in Cana- da. The Pickering library won second place in the 2013 TD Summer Reading Club Library Awards, which recognize libraries that offer “the most innovative and effective” summer reading clubs. Library staff is proud of the accom- plishment and hope next summer’s club will draw even more participants. “We want the community to know how excellent these programs are,” Ms. Grant says.

Durham holdup officers arrested a suspect at a Toronto apartment Tues- day, seizing a pellet gun believed to have been used in the robbery, police said. The National Bank on Liverpool Road was robbed by a masked bandit Aug. 8. A suspect fled with cash. Scott Law, 41, of Hamilton Street in Toronto, is charged with robbery and weapons offences. 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 During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

This was the first time I said, “I hon- estly don’t think I can finish.” But then the coaches and other mem- bers encouraged me, and I was able to complete it in 34 min- utes and 52 seconds. It wasn’t the quickest work- out, but I was pleased I didn’t keel over half- way through. Here is what I had to do: 10 over- head squats with a 35-pound bar; 20 bur- pees and 20 box jumps; 30 dreaded wall balls; 40 ket- tlebell swings; and 50 deadlifts using a 65-pound bar. In between each of those exercises, we had to do 10 dou- ble-unders with the skipping rope. As if that weren’t enough, we had to then go down the ladder. So we started with 50 deadlifts and made our way all the way back down to overhead squats, double- unders included. The next day we did a lot of row- ing and dips, which really worked my arms and I could feel it over the week- end. They did look better in pictures that were snapped over the weekend, a good sign for my upcoming wedding day. My diet went on hiatus on the weekend, as I celebrated my bachelorette with my friends. Although I didn’t go nuts on the food, I didn’t say ‘no’ to carbs, including the slice of pizza I didn’t turn down at the end of the night. I’m hop- ing the dancing we did at the club will help counter some of those calories. But now, the pressure is on. The wed- ding is less than three weeks away and I have nothing of huge significance coming up before then that will ‘force’ me to cheat. Therefore, I have no more excuses. Monday’s workout was another bru- tal one, but I felt I deserved it after the weekend I had. And again, I said, “I don’t think I’ll finish this” because I was super tired from the weekend. But I pushed on and finished thanks to encouragement from everyone, includ- ing my co-worker Leeanna McLean. I was the last one to finish, but I was pleased that I did it. Something else we’ve been doing, which has been brutal, is hanging. We basically just hang from a bar for 30 seconds, which is tough enough. But then we also do some hanging with some small movements. My blistered hands could tell the story of how much I hate hanging. But I know it’s good for me. I do notice that my strength is increas- ing. While the pounds aren’t coming off as quickly as they did in the beginning, inches continue to come off. I guess this is because of the muscle that I’m gaining, coupled with the diet I keep cheating on. But as long as my new muscle is replacing my old fat, I’m OK with that. CrossFit Confessions: Climbing the dreadful ladder Leeanna McLean lmclean@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- I think I’ve caught on to a recurring theme at CrossFit Pickering. Wednesdays seem to be ass-kicking days at the gym. Last Wednesday, I walked in and took a look at the whiteboard, anxious to see what our workout of the day would be. When I saw the words “ladder of death,” I felt like turning around and walking out. However, I stayed. Like I’ve said in my previous col- umns, I may be scared of a workout going in but there is a craving, a deep hunger inside that is begging me to try it and when I come out the other side after completing it, I get this victorious rush that makes me feel on top of the world. The ladder of death consisted of 10 DUs (jump rope double unders), 10 OHS (overhead squat using 35 pounds), 10 DUs, 20 bur- pee box jumps, 10 DUs, 30 wall balls (using 8 kg), 10 DUs, 40 ket- tlebell swings (8 kg), 10 DUs and 50 deadlifts (65 pounds). We had to complete all of the exercises and then work our way back to the top, completing each exercise for the second time. That was a long way down but man, coming back up was absolutely brutal. My time: 26:30. I have never taken so many breaks in my life. Coach Marta had to grab me an ice pack because I felt a lightning pulse of heat surge from my toes straight up through to my head. I thought smoke was going to come out of my ears. Burpees, the bane of my existence. Friday was a clean/burpee day called “Triple Threat.” We were required to do 21 hang cleans, 21 bar facing bur- pees, 15 hang cleans, 15 burpees, nine hang cleans, nine burpees, all using a 35-pound barbell and that was just the first round. Our second round includ- ed the same weight and pattern, but instead with power cleans and bar facing burpees for 15-12-9. In our third round we ended with squat cleans and bar fac- ing burpees for 12-9-6. My total time for all three rounds: 21:59. My arms are still ach- ing from this WOD. Another thing I have learned, the pain never goes away. In fact, it just moves around my entire body, travelling from muscle to muscle. There are parts of my body that I never thought could hurt. Sit- ting here as I type this, my forearms are throbbing. Every morning I rush over to Kristen’s desk, curious to see what hurts the most for her. We always share a laugh complaining about the same things. We have been doing a lot of hang- ing lately at CrossFit. There are three types of hangs: passive, active and side-to-side. Passive hanging: You grip the bar, hands shoulder-width apart with shoulders to ears, always remembering to straighten the elbows. You hold this position as long as you can. Active hanging: From passive hang, you pull the shoul- ders down while keeping the elbows locked. You repeat this movement while remembering to not engage the rib cage. It’s strictly pulling the shoulders down and naturally, your head comes up when you do this. Side-to-side: Using strictly your hips, from a passive hang, you operate from side to side, aiming to get the weight off of one arm. Lift one hip and leg up towards the rib of the same side, drop it back to the centre and repeat this left to right fluidly. Hanging stimulates and engages multiple muscles at once. I don’t have the best grip in the world but I am working on it. Try it out. Here is a great link that breaks down the three hanging positions: www.ido- portal.com/blog/hanging. I am finally getting the hang of hanging. I can successfully hold each of these for 30 seconds. My goal is to get to a minute each in the next couple of weeks. †‡UnderwrittenbyRBCGeneralInsuranceCompany.®/TM Trademark(s)ofRoyalBankofCanada.Usedunderlicence.*ThisofferisonlyavailabletoresidentsofCanada.Thesavingsisonlyapplied tothecostoftheinsurancewhencombiningmorethanoneinsuranceproduct.Thisoffercan’tbecombinedwithanyotherofferandmaybechangedorcancelledwithoutnotice.Certainconditionsapply.TM Betteradvice?Bettercarinsurance?Bettervisit.

Members of the Motor City Car Club, Autofest’s organizers, and the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce official- ly launched the annual festival at a bar- becue on Aug. 13. The main festivities for the 21st annu- al Bridgestone Canada Autofest begin on Friday, Aug. 22 with registration and then on Saturday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, Aug. 24, hundreds of classic cars will be showcased at Lakeview Park. Last year about 1,400 cars participat- ed. Car club president Gary Challice said there’s a lot to offer this year including the addition of an open house at UOIT’s Automotive Centre of Excellence. Registered participants in Autofest can attend the open house on Aug. 22 and check out the ACE wind tunnel and the centre will be set up like a hot rod shop. As well, Autofest will be highlighting a classic muscle car at this year’s event. “Brand new this year is that we’re cele- brating the 50th anniversary of the Mus- tang and it’s called Ponies in the Park,” said Mr. Challice. Generally, cars participating in Autofest have to be from 1983 or older, however, Mr. Challice is inviting all Ford Mustang owners to participate whether they have a ’64 or a 2014. Ponies in the Park is being organized with help from the Durham Classic Mustang Club and Mr. Challice said he expects to see about 200 Mustangs. “I know we’re in a GM town and I’m going to get hit for this but it’s OK,” Mr. Challice joked about the Mustang event. Every year Autofest serves as a fund- raiser for the Grandview Children’s Cen- tre and since 2002 has raised more than $200,000 for the charity. Mayor John Henry acknowledged the importance of Autofest. “I’d like to take the time to thank the Motor City Car Club for making this event such a draw for the City of Oshawa,” he said. For this weekend’s soapbox derby, reg- istration is $10; for more information call the Soapbox Derby Hotline at 905- 626-0384. Admission to Autofest events at Lakev- iew park is $12 per day.

My issues are not permanent and I’m sure in no time I will be bounding up The Mous- tache Club stairs two at a go. For many, however, physical barriers to culture are permanent and so the question is asked, how accessible should culture be and who is responsible for ensuring it is? Adam White is a published poet and a com- munity activist familiar to those involved in the cultural life of downtown Oshawa. He is a fixture at the area’s karaoke nights and was instrumental in creating the conditions allowing The Open Vault to form and flour- ish. White lives with a rare genetic neurological condition, neurofibromatosis type 2. “I have had a brain and spinal tumour removed, I am hard of hearing, have a cata- ract, I have scoliosis and right drop-foot,” he says. White credits the receipt of his hearing device and a move to the core with opening him up to the opportunities to live a cultur- ally rich life in Oshawa. “Being downtown, I have befriended a lot of artists, musicians and performers and been invited to art shows, open mics and cultural events. Because of the enthusiasm of arts, music and culture, a collective of art- ists formed The Vault (now The Open Vault). I see The Open Vault as a grassroots co-oper- ative with potential to be a springboard for shaping careers for entrepreneurial artists, musicians, performers and community ani- mators in Oshawa and Durham,” he says. White says while he can get around quite well with his walking stick and many places are accessible, his physical disability does limit his participation if it involves much standing or walking. “I wanted to attend the 10th annual Peony Fest, at the Botanical Gardens. A shuttle bus would have been convenient -- along with a cart to drive around and enjoy the whole event. Instead I over-exerted myself walk- ing to the show, went into one building and had to leave early because of exhaustion,” he says. Jazz and blues singer/songwriter Heath- er Luckhart has been dealing with her own mobility issues for more than a year, the result of a physical assault in 2012. Luckhart performs in venues across Durham Region, Toronto and the GTA. She says she has friends who help her fulfil gig obligations but one thing is particularly inconvenient. “One really big issue is that the washrooms in most of the venues in downtown Oshawa are in the basements,” Luckhart says. “This either means that I only go out for a very limited amount of time, or that I have to get quite a lot of assistance to get down the stairs.” She says ordering drinks is also difficult as she is too low at the bar in her wheelchair and too unsteady in her walker to carry a glass. Although, given the bathroom issue, this may be a blessing in disguise. Luckhart points to Wasted Space as a venue that is cognizant of accessibility issues. “It is one of my favourite spots,” she says. “They often come to me if they notice I haven’t been up to the bar. Without fail, someone there has always carried my food or drink for me. They have plenty of places to sit. Their washrooms are really easy to get to and use. They have a ramp that includes access to their patio. “I miss being able to go on patios,” she adds. The physical challenges do not impact her ability to perform, but being unable to move into or around a venue will determine where she plays and also where she patronizes. She says when they go out, her friends wish to support the small restaurants and bars downtown but they have to move on if she can’t get in with them. “Washrooms on main levels would make things so much easier and ramps. It stings to look at a tiny step and know that it is stop- ping you from joining the party,” she says. Visual artist Jeff Morrison (and one half of the music duo Morrison Hawkes) has been a quadriplegic since 1977 when he broke his neck diving into a neighbour’s pool. Morrison says accessibility is an issue he confronts on a daily basis. While he was cul- turally active prior to the accident (he was writing original songs in high school), the arts have become a vital part of his life. “Being creative and experiencing creativ- ity is very therapeutic,” says Morrison. “It ele- vates consciousness and transports us away from everyday concerns.” The irony beneath the statement is that those who benefit most from cultural activ- ities can be the very ones being denied access.

DURHAM -- Local singer/songwriter Heather Luckhart has been dealing with mobility issues since a 2012 assault. B. Beard Photography Will McGuirk Scene & Heard New venture for fibre artists Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com SCUGOG -- We could all use some fibre in our diet, and now there’s a store in Port Perry where you can get some. But this isn’t fibre to eat; instead it’s fibre you can hang on your wall. The Scugog Shores Fibre Artists have set up shop at 246 Queen St. on the west side of town and will be there “hopefully” until the end of August “and maybe a bit longer,” says member Doreen Stainton. She explains that the owner of the building, Renetta Cook Holdings Ltd., has permitted the group to use the store, empty at present. “They asked me if I would be interested in using it,” she says. “They’ve been to our shows and know I’m in the fibre artists.” The store will be open Thursday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Members have stocked the store with their items, which are for sale. As well, patrons will see members working on projects, an added bonus of paying a visit. She notes that the items for sale include wall hangings and bas- ketry. The Scugog Shores Fibre Artists is a mem- ber of the Ontario Handweavers and Spin- ners and have been around for more than 25 years. It has 25 members, some of whom live in the Kawarthas and Pickering. “They’re from all over Durham Region and a little bit beyond,” Stainton says. “But it is a Scugog group and the original members are from Scugog.” The group meets at various locations, sometimes has guest speakers come in and also does workshops. “Fibre art is anything to do with fibre,” Stainton explains, noting the media includes paper, wool and alpaca. “We create with it.” 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 19 PSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Pickering Panthers ready for busy weekend of exhibition games Team adds forwards, goalie in advance of start to season Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Following a season in which the Pickering Panthers turned a corner by qualifying for the playoffs, the next step in the process is officially under- way. The Ontario Junior Hockey League club opened its training camp earlier this week, and has one exhibition game under its belt in preparation for the new season. General manager and head coach Mike Galati has had a busy couple of months adding to the roster, making a couple of trades and signing a No. 1 goalie. “We’ve added a little bit of charac- ter and a little bit of offence as a whole. We’ve added a pretty good goalie as well,” he said of the moves. “We’re still in the hunt here and can hopefully add a few (defence) in the next couple of days and then away we go into the season.” The biggest hole to fill came in goal with the departure of Steven Dombrosky to Morrisville State College. Dombrosky led all goalies in the league last season in games played (50), minutes played (2902:01) with almost 600 more than any other goalie, and saves (1507). Taking over in net will be Jordan Cart- ney, who played last season with the Fort Frances Comets of the Superior Interna- tional Junior Hockey League. His team won the league championship, com- ing back from a 3-1 series deficit to win in seven games over the Minnesota Iron Rangers, then reached the semifinals of the Dudley Hewitt Cup, a tournament which brings together champions of junior leagues. “Dom was great for us,” said Galati of what Dombrosky accomplished last sea- son. “It will be hard to duplicate what he did but I think we’ve found someone that will give us a chance to win every night. “I saw him play in the Dudley, liked what I saw, and when he became avail- able, we did our best to get him.” Galati also went about rebuilding the forward group, dealing for Stefano Pezzet- ta (6-7-13 in 25 games) from St. Michael’s, and Dalton Lawrence (5-2-7 in 28 games) from Trenton. The biggest move was trad- ing away the team’s leading scorer from last season, Brodie Tutton, to Stouffville in exchange for Michael Morgan and Gra- ham Pickard. Tutton had 26 goals and 31 assists for 57 points last season, while Morgan had 15-14-29 numbers in 48 games and Pickard 7-11-18 in just 25. “It was something both parties agreed upon. Brodie was good for us and scored a lot of goals. It’s a business, this sport,” said Galati. “We thought we got two good players back. “Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s the wrong deal, but at this time I think it’s what we need as a team.” The Panthers opened camp on the weekend with 40 rookies. That number was pared down to 35 skaters and four goalies when veteran players were added Monday. This weekend will be a busy one, with three games in as many days. It kicks off Friday when the Panthers host St. Michael’s at the Ajax Community Cen- tre at 7:30 p.m., then head to Stouffville on Saturday night. Sunday afternoon they are in Toronto to face St. Michael’s. The exhibition schedule wraps up in Toronto against the Jr. Canadiens on Tues- day, Aug. 26, and back at the Ajax Com- munity Centre on Friday, Aug. 29 with a rematch against Toronto at 7:30 p.m. The regular season opens on Friday, Sept. 5 with Panthers hosting Hamilton. PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers will have to do without Brodie Tutton this season. The team’s leading scorer last season was traded to Stouffville. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Dakota Whyte selected to represent Canada MADISON, WISCONSIN -- Ajax’s Dakota Whyte has been selected to the senior B women’s national team, it was announced by Canada Basketball. “It’s almost like a development team,” the junior from the University of Wisconsin explained on the school’s website. “They basically have this team because they want to prepare my age group because we are projected to be the 2020 Olympic team. It’s the team under the Senior National Team.” The senior B women’s national team is set to compete at the 36th William Jones International Basketball Tournament in Taipei, Taiwan. The tournament runs from Aug. 20-24 and features five other teams -- Japan, Korea, USA and two Chinese Taipei teams. Team Canada will play five games in the tournament. “The best part is being able to repre- sent my country,” said the graduate of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. “Every athlete’s dream is to play with the highest level for their country. I’m always playing basketball and always being a student of the game and getting better.” The decision to play for the national team was easy for Whyte, who said she is playing to enhance her game in the off-sea- son. “I definitely want to bring back bet- ter decision-making and being a complete point guard,” Whyte said. “I want to work on becoming a better scorer, passer and turn- ing it up defensively. I think this benefits in every aspect of basketball.” She said she has received great support from her Badger teammates and coaches and is eager to return to the Kohl Center after the tournament. Whyte said one of her first calls was from head coach Bobbie Kelsey. “She called me right away and said ‘I am so proud of you and congratulations,’” Whyte said. “She asked what I did in the tryouts and how it was going.” Durham City U11 basketball team finds magic at international tournament in Florida DURHAM -- The Durham City Basketball boys’ U11 AAU team returned home from the Disney international championship as champs. Participating in a competitive U11 cat- egory of eight teams, the Durham City play- ers rose to the occasion and went 6-0 to win the tournament. This year’s championship included teams from Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, Boston, Houston and Russia. The team played four competitive games before winning the final game 53-48 over Lakeland Fire from Florida. The team players are Isaiah Adams, Sam Alamuto, Kaleb Birch, Jaden Clayton, Shane Fearon, David Ononiwu, Jhalil Scott, Kole Scott, Noah Seetram and Deven Rand- hawa. Each player played an integral part of the team capturing the championship. The team is coached by Ervin Clayton, Nkosi Adams and James Seetram. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 20 AP Job SuccessStarts Here!
