Phin school celebrates 75th anniversary Elizabeth B. Phin P.S. started out as two-room schoolhouse Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Seventy-five years ago, local parents in Pickering came together to build a much-needed school. That original two-room schoolhouse is long gone, but today a vibrant school com- munity is still thriving on that same spot. “Parents built the original school with horses and wagons, it truly was a commu- nity affair,” says Danny Eastwood, a teacher at Elizabeth B. Phin P.S. which is celebrat- ing its 75th anniversary this year. “It’s hard to believe how our school started out.” Back in the late 1930s, the community raised concerns about children in the Altona Road area attending an overcrowded school on the Scarborough side of townline. Parents also worried about the kids facing a hazardous daily walk up the Rouge Hill, so they took action. In 1939 work began on a two-room brick schoolhouse, which was built for less than $12,000. Rouge Hill P.S. opened in 1940. It was later re-named Elizabeth B. Phin P.S. in honour of one of the school’s most memorable princi- pals. “She was remembered as strict but fair,” says current principal Kyla Reimer. “When a child’s mother died of cancer she actually took them in, adopted them.” The old school was demolished and replaced with the current building in 2001. The school has been celebrating its 75th anniversary all year, but the culmination was a huge community party on May 23. Hundreds of people came to the event, which included decade rooms created by students to highlight the music, fashion and events of each decade from the 1940s to 2000s; an alumni room where past students could reunite and a list of 75 things for visitors to do, ranging from henna tattoos to an old- fashioned game of marbles. Grade 6 students also researched and interviewed former students and created a 30-minute video about their experiences. “I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about the school,” says student Grace Cowan, who worked on the project. “They used to have Christmas pageants and there were some guys in Grade 8 who drove to school because they were teenagers.” Mr. Eastwood confirms at one point Eliza- beth B. Phin P.S. had Grade 8 students as old as 18, because it was a difficult grade to pass. Today, the school has grown to more than 340 students and is part of a diverse, bustling area of Pickering. “We have come a long way from a small, rural, two-room schoolhouse,” Ms. Reimer says. “Not many schools get to celebrate 75 years.” Durham’s oldest schools Elizabeth B.

Up to $1150 Pickering High School student a Pan Am torchbearer PICKERING -- Pickering High School student Rahul Koria is thrilled to repre- sent his community as a torchbearer for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. “At a young age it’s very important to start getting involved in the community to give back and this is one of the mediums in which I can do that,” said the Grade 10 student. The Pickering resi- dent is an avid volun- teer in his school and the community and will be running a route in Ajax. He says he and his family plan do plan to attend some of the events. “I believe my family and I are going to try to get some tickets for diving or swimming. But in terms of being a torchbearer, I’m definitely looking for- ward to the run. It will be a lot of fun and a great way to support my commu- nity.” -- Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a sig- nature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by Pres- ident’s Choice and OLG. Pickering realtor Stuart Gass carries a torch for Pan Am Games PICKERING -- It was 1976 when Stu- art Gass saw a torchbearer “doing his thing” in the Summer Olympics in Mon- treal. “I told myself I’m going to do that one day,” said Mr. Gass, 58. Nearly 40 years later, his dream is coming true. The Pickering resident will carry a torch for the 2015 Toronto Pan Am/Parapan Am Games through Toronto. The local realtor and runner is look- ing forward to mostly the cycling and the swimming during the games, but overall, he’s just excited the games are coming to the area. “I really do like amateur sports,” he said. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG.

She visited the Petticoat Creek Library and Community Centre on May 22 to highlight the Universal Child Care Benefit and explain how parents can still apply. An estimated 3,900 families with chil- dren in Pickering are eligible to receive money under the UCCB, but are at risk of not receiving the benefit unless they apply. The majority of families with children are known and will automatically receive the enhanced UCCB or be contacted by the government to confirm their informa- tion. However, many eligible families are not currently captured by the UCCB sys- tem and may miss out on receiving money that is owed to them unless they apply. In 2015 alone, this represents potentially millions of dollars in unclaimed benefits. The government is proposing to increase and expand the UCCB starting in 2015 to provide up to $1,920 per year for each child under the age of six, and up to $720 per year for children aged six through 17. The new benefit amounts would be retro- active to Jan. 1, 2015, and will be reflect- ed in monthly payments to families start- ing in July 2015, depending on when their information entered the system. The pro- posed enhancements to the UCCB are expected to more than double the number of families that benefit from 1.6 million to more than 4 million. Families not currently receiving the UCCB, who have never received it or have never applied for it and still have children less than 18 in their care, can visit www. canada.ca/taxsavings to find out how to apply. 5 FREE BONUS BALLOTS REDEEM THIS AD at the Rapid Rewards Players Club to receive June 7 - 25, 2015 •Every Sunday - Thursday 6 Winners eachpromotional day.

Liter- ally. While the rest of the kids wrestled on the lawn and gorged on sugar, my kid sat in a corner with the “little guitar and stick” and played it for the better part of three hours. The only way I could get him home to go to sleep was by promising him that I would let him play with it again the next day. And, so I did what any good parent might do under the same circumstances: I lied and told him we would. When he woke the next day and asked what time we would be going to see the violin again I took it as a sign and enrolled him in lessons. My son’s teacher, Helen, was a passionate my-way- or-the-highway-type. She was encouraged by my son’s enthusiasm and he learned quickly. I was proud par- ent right up until a month or two after enrolling when Helen let it be known that we were going to have an issue. When will you be taking up the instrument, too, she asked? Never, I replied. I will be the person bringing him and paying. Helen then explained that he would not advance nearly as quickly unless I took it up with him. I felt small and exposed under Helen’s luminous stare but I pressed forward and asked her if she was planning on switching the curriculum away from Bach and towards the entire Prince catalogue. When she said she wasn’t, I had to break it to her that the possibility of my pick- ing up a violin and learning to play it in tandem with my son was slim to none. She let it be known with a look of severe disappointment (that I now refer to as “The Helen”) that this was not what she had hoped to hear and that’s when I did the only thing that I could do: I let the Internet teach my child. Yes, dear readers, YouTube taught my son the violin. As a child, your life is not your own -- you bob along in some adult’s wake and then, by the time you get to an age where you can genuinely contemplate the larger picture, it’s hard to know what really formed you in the end. Was it your parents? School? Your violin teacher? I know teachers are important in my son’s life because he asks me very day when he can see them again. He asks me when I make him do math on the Internet, when I go over his English essay that no teacher will ever see and when I ask him to mow the lawn at 9 in the morning. And when I tell him, I don’t know, I see it in his eyes when he shoots me The Helen. His teachers have made a difference. -- Laura Francis is a freelance writer living in Prince Albert. Laura Francis Local resident, writer, Guest column We support a Pickering councillor’s call for a review of the parking bylaw in the city and suggest Ajax undertake one as well. Cheryl McCarthy of Pickering is in a situation that’s becoming more com- mon: there are four cars at her home and because at least one of them must be parked on the street overnight, she has received a steady stream of park- ing tickets. This often occurs, as in this case, when adult children live with a parent or parents -- and bring vehicles with them -- perhaps after being out of the house for some time. And of course children are staying at home longer. Pickering and Ajax are growing daily. There are more people and more cars. Other, larger communities have tweaked their parking rules and it’s time for Ajax and Pickering to have a good look at the issue. There is a non-negotiable here: park- ing on the street during the winter months is prohibited in Pickering from 2 to 5 a.m., from Dec. 1 to March 31 and during snow-clearing operations. In Ajax, you can’t park on any street at any time of the year between 3 and 6 a.m. The Ajax website notes “This bylaw is proactively enforced from Nov. 1 to March 31.” It defeats the purpose of snow clearing and street parking at this time of year cannot be permitted. However, during the warm weather months on-street parking, overnight parking, is not as much of an issue. When there’s no possibility of snow, it’s hard to argue against parking on streets overnight. We agree with Pickering Ward 2 City Councillor Ian Cumming that examin- ing the issue shouldn’t be a rush job as it’s complex and the process should include public input. Pickering staff are going to review the bylaw. The councillor says he gets a lot of calls on the issue, most from residents who are in Ms. McCarthy’s situation. It is at least in part a lifestyle issue. Councillor Cumming has floated some ideas, including allowing street parking on one side of the street during certain months of the year. We believe this can work and that it’s time to give it a try in our communities. Kim Thompson, manager of municipal law enforcement services, says the City is more lenient with the three-hour rule on weekends during the day. We suspect both communities practice leniency with regard to parking and that a for- mal loosening of the rules is well worth exploring. -- Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser Pickering, Ajax should ease up on parking rules Mental illnesses cannot be overlooked To the editor: As students come to the end of the school year, excitement grows for summer vaca- tion, although those in high school must undergo exams before the fun in the sun. Studies have shown that in our day and age the notion of a carefree youth has gone extinct. Conducted surveys prove that high school students have surpassed the stress level of adults and are now seen as the age group dealing with the most stress. For a Grade 12 student like myself, the pressure is on; competing for those post- secondary spots and dealing with the con- fusion of the recent strike is taking a toll on us. Today one in five Canadians are victims to mental illness, and those suffering now need help more than ever. However, look- ing around there is nowhere offering guid- ance. The lack of awareness has created stigma against those suffering, because humans fear concepts we do not understand. This problem cannot be shunned anymore. With mental illness becoming such a dominant social issue, it is alarming to see no help being offered.

Parents tend to focus on their children’s reading and math skills,overlooking that writing is an education fundamental. It’s fast becoming the forgot- ten ‘R’.This is unfortunate,as writing is an important part of every facet of education,not just in English class.Writing proficiency can have a major impact on other subject areas too. Summer vacation provides an excellent opportunity for chil- dren to explore their creative writing skills.Sylvan Learning, the leading provider of tutor- ing at home to students of all ages,grades and skill levels, has developed the following tips to help parents encourage their children to write over the summer: Pick an Engaging Topic Persuading your child to write over the summer break may be easier if you help them identify fun and engaging topics.Sug- gest timely subjects. •For example,Canada Day on July 1 is a good opportunity for your children to explore their own patriotism. •Ask them if they know what patriotism is,and what it means to them.Encourage your children by helping them with some research about Canada,its history, people and places. Give Story Starters Sometimes the most difficult part of writing can be getting started.Help your children write their patriotic essays by giving them topic ideas,such as: •I am proud to be Canadian because…. •On July 1,my family and I usually… •If someone asked me what my country means to me,I would say… Sylvan Tips on Writing •Good writing takes time. Spend time organizing your ideas and thinking about what you really want to say in your essay. •Use the Internet or library to research your topic. •Prepare an outline before you begin to write. •Use transition words –such as “after,”“although,” “before,”“however”and “therefore”to help your ideas flow together. •Be willing to revise.Change your sentences and para- graphs around,add material that lends to your writing and delete material that doesn’t work. •Avoid clichés and jargon. •Always keep a dictionary handy to help with spelling. •Use a thesaurus to help you think of a new way to say something. •Ask someone else to edit your work. •Proofread everything.Make sure grammar,spelling and punctuation are perfect before you declare anything “finished.” •Don’t rely on a computer’s spellchecker to ensure proper spelling.

Cheryl McCarthy lives in a home on Lis- towel Crescent where there is only enough space to squeeze three cars into the drive- way. Two fit comfortably, but the third is parked horizontally at the bottom of the driveway, below the sidewalk. Right now, with her two sons -- one a universi- ty student and the second a police officer -- living at home for the time being, plus the police officer’s pregnant girlfriend, a fourth car has to park on the street every night. In Pickering, cars cannot be parked on the street for more than three hours. “Every night it’s a juggle,” said Ms. McCarthy. She has a garage, but half of it was turned into a laundry room before she moved in, so she’s unable to fit a car inside. The City has given her some exemptions, including a 21-day permit, but they’re only temporary. She wants to see a change to the parking bylaw so she and her family can park without worry. Ms. McCarthy is not alone. Ward 2 City Councillor Ian Cumming says he gets numerous calls about street parking in Pickering and he’d like to see staff re-eval- uate the bylaw. He said some callers complain about cars that are parked on the street, but most are in a similar situation to Ms. McCar- thy’s. One mother told him that her daugh- ter doesn’t want to visit on the weekends because she’s afraid of getting parking tickets. “That’s an expensive trip home,” said Coun. Cumming. He’s asked staff to review the bylaw and bring a report to council on possible solu- tions to the problem. “I think doing nothing is just not accept- able anymore,” he said. “I’m going to push it.” Kim Thompson, manager of municipal law enforcement services, says the bylaw is before staff and they will review it. “It’s a complicated issue,” she said. “It’s something that generally comes up in other municipalities.” Ms. McCarthy says her family has received at least 10 tickets in the past cou- ple of months. Tickets have mostly been for parking for more than three hours overnight, but have also been for parking the wrong way and for “touching the side- walk.” “I feel like we’re being targeted for lack of a better term,” said Ms. McCarthy. She said her family lets the City know they’ll be parking on the street in advance, but feels it’s fruitless. “Now we’re only allowed one visit a month at that address,” she said. Ms. Thompson says that parking bylaw officers tend to go to every street every week or two and noted, “Our parking regu- lations are pretty standard across the GTA.” She said the City does relax the three- hour limit on weekends during the day, and allows people to park over sidewalks from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. “It’s meant to give people a break,” she said. Ms. Thompson said there are few lim- itations in Pickering when it comes to expanding driveways, and said this could be a possibility. Coun. Cumming feels bringing a motion to the council table to change the bylaw without much research beforehand means it likely wouldn’t be passed. Instead, he has asked staff to review the issue and said he would like see some possible solutions come forward. He said he’d like to see the public consulted on the topic as well. “I think there may be some great ideas out there that we haven’t talked about,” he said. He said possibilities could include sell- ing parking permits, or limiting street parking to one side of the street during cer- tain months of the year. He said whether there is enough room for emergency vehi- cles will be a big factor in making these decisions. Ms. Thompson said parking issues are always tricky to deal with. “The problem is there’s no clear consen- sus from the public,” she said. For example, she used to receive calls from one man complaining about people parking on the street. Now that his own kids are older with cars, that same man calls to complain about the tickets his fam- ily gets for parking on the street. Coun. Cumming agrees it will be a diffi- cult process, and feels that his position on the matter won’t make everyone happy. “We know everyone likes a win-win situ- ation.

The Pickering Ribfest, hosted by the Rotary clubs of Ajax and Pickering, has grown mas- sively since it began eight years ago. “It started at 32,000 in year one and we were up to 90,000 last year,” said Lon Harnish, chairman of the event. Entry, parking and entertainment at Ribfest is free. It will take place Friday, June 5 from noon to 11 p.m., Saturday, June 6 from noon to 11 p.m. and Sunday, June 7 from noon to 8 p.m. at Esplanade Park, One The Esplanade, Pickering. The midway will be jam packed with fun stuff, including an 80-foot ferris wheel this year, even bigger than the impressive 60-foot ride last year. A 50/50 draw will benefit local charities, and the winner will also take home a flat screen TV. “Everything we raise goes back to the com- munity,” said Mr. Harnish, adding Rotary clubs support women’s shelters and the hos- pital, for example. The Rotary clubs will also be collecting non-perishable food items for the local food bank. There will be a number of fun activities for kids, including an event by Scientists in School, Canada’s premier science charity for kids. It brings hands-on science fun to fes- tival goers Sunday, June 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. Activities will include experimenting with soap and water tension, performing forensic fingerprinting and ink chromatography and testing Newton’s laws of motion. The winners of best ribs, best sauce and best pulled pork on a bun will be announced at 4 p.m. on Sunday. “The weather’s going to be fantastic and we urge people to come out,” said Mr. Har- nish. “It’s bigger and better every year. It’ll be huge.” Live entertainment will include The Too Drunk to Fish Band and Two for the Show on Friday night; Fernandez the Hypnotist on Saturday afternoon; and Eagles tribute band Hotel California on Sunday afternoon.

A Q gillespie Law Office Legal Matters Are witness statements important? The short answer is yes.After a car accident,a fall or any other type of accident,it can be difficult to prove how the accident occurred.For example,if a driver ran a stop sign and hit your vehicle,that driver could claim that you were actually at fault. People who witness your accident could prove to be very valuable to your case,as they may be able to corroborate your version of the events.Without witnesses, it could become a case where it ’s your word versus theirs. Witnesses can help recreate the accident and form a truthful account of what happened. Immediately after the accident occurs,if possible, speak to people in the area and ask if they saw what happened and for their contact information.Also, encourage them to jot down what they saw.Memories can fade pretty quickly.To help ensure that your witnesses don’t forget what they saw or don’t get details confused, ask them to write down the important points. This can prove to be very important if your case goes to trial.A trial may not start until years after the accident occurs,so their notes will help keep their memories of the accident fresh. If your accident has led to injuries,lost time at work,medical expenses,etc.,you may be entitled to compensation.Speak to a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident and be sure to provide them with the witness’s contact information.The lawyer will want to contact them for a formal written statement that could be used in your case. 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 • Ju n e 4 , 2 0 1 5 15 AP Retirement Community & Long Term Care Facility On Site. * Spring promo does not apply for Long Term Care Facility. 1955 Valley Farm Rd., Pickering www.orchardvillaretirement.ca See Meghan Gaudet for Details and to Book Your Personalized Tour Call 905-831-2641 Our Strength Is In Our Service PromoSave $1500* SpringSpring *Limitedtimeoffer.Availableateligibleandparticipatingdealersonly.Somerestrictionsapply.Pleaseseeparticipatingdealerfordetails.

We believe in the power of possibilities and there’s an incredible potential in each of them. The hard work of our volunteers should be recognized. They are like the pit crew in a grueling race and they deserve our thanks for the early mornings, late nights and their unfaltering dedication.

It was also a natural extension of Chevrolet’s long history of supporting Canadian sports. As the organizers have worked to shape the Games,we’ve worked alongside them to provide the support needed for our volunteers to make these Games the greatest they’ve ever been. This has meant providing Chevrolet vehicles to help the volunteers behind the scenes to prepare the field of play, to shuttle athletes to and from their matches, to enhance the spectator experience, and to participate in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. No matterhowyou enjoythe Gamesyou’re likely to see these hardworking volunteers— but you should also think of the ones you don’t see,those integral to bringing the Games to life before a single race was run, before a single ball was thrown,and before any athletes proudly walked the Opening Ceremony to the applause of people from around the world.

CelebrationRotary Park11:18am Torch relay for Pan Am visits Ajax Saturday AJAX -- Saturday, June 6 is a big day in Ajax, as the Pan Am Torch Relay makes its way through Town. The flame will spend the entire day in Ajax, stopping at several locations for a celebration. It starts off at Pickering High School with an opening ceremony and torch launch. The kick off runs from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the school, 180 Church St. N., in Pickering Village. Activities include official greetings from Town officials, live entertainment, refreshments and a visit from PACHI, the official mascot of the games. Angel Huang, a student at the school, will be the first torchbearer. After a tour of Pickering Village, the torch heads to Rotary Park, on Lake Driveway West at Parkes Drive. It’s set to arrive there at 11:15 a.m. Entertainer Jessica Tyler will carry the torch when it leaves Rotary Park and heads east on Lake Driveway. The torch will make its way to the Ajax Community Centre, where it’s slated to arrive at 1:20 p.m. The Town will be hosting a Pan Am Sports Village at the community centre from noon to 2 p.m., with a fair for local sports organizations, demonstrations and refreshments. Daniel Milton, an Ajax resident playing soccer professionally in Blackpool, Eng- land, will carry the torch when it leaves the ACC. From the community centre, the torch will head to the Ajax Town hall, where the Town is hosting the Defence Indus- tries Limited Ice Cream Social from 1 to 3 p.m. The 1940s/50s themed event will fea- ture free ice cream, live jazz music, games, and crafts. There will also be displays on the Town’s historical roots and the Bomb Girls Legacy Campaign. Thomas Hamilton will carry the torch and light the community caldron at Town hall at 1:45 p.m. Louise Johnson, one of four people selected by the Town to carry the torch, will travel with the flame in an antique Chevrolet. The torch will next stop at the Town’s Operations and Environmental Services Centre at 900 Salem Rd. N., arriving at 4 p.m. While there, Andrew Fagan will carry the torch while on a fire truck. The final stop for the flame will be at the Audley Recreation Centre, where another large celebration is being planned by Ajax. The relay finale and Fiesta in the Park will run from 3 to 6 p.m., with the flame arriv- ing at 5 p.m. Nigel Wilson, a former major league baseball player and Ajax resident, will be the final torchbearer and he’ll light the community caldron. Among the events planned are face painting, games and activities, live enter- tainment, cultural performances and a free barbecue. The recreation centre, at 1955 Audley Rd. N., is next to the President’s Choice Ajax Pan Am Ballpark. On Monday, June 8 the torch run goes through Whitby, Port Perry, Uxbridge, Brock and Orillia. The torch relay is a 41-day journey that will go through 130 communities. There are more than 3,000 torchbearers and 180 commu- nity celebrations taking place. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG.

Participants heard that the lack of omega-3 in the daily diet is as serious to the physical and mental health of our species as carbon dioxide emissions are to our planet’s environmental health. A Harvard study furthered that the omega-3 deficiency is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, causing up to 100,000 deaths a year. Omega-3s are a type of nutrient called essential fatty acids, or EFAs. They are considered “essential” because they are required for good health, but cannot be produced by the body. Another EFA is omega-6, and when these two are consumed in a balanced ratio, they work together to keep the body healthy. The modern Western diet has upset the naturally balanced consumption of EFAs by encouraging foods with too much omega-6 fat. It is found primarily in refined vegetable oils like soy, canola, and corn; processed foods; and meats from animals raised on soy and corn instead of grass. In addition, we consume too little omega-3, found primarily in wild-caught, cold-water, fatty fish. Instead of a diet with balanced amounts of omega-6 and omega-3, the typical diet has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio ranging from 10:1 to as high as 20:1. Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.The first step toward correcting this deficiency is to increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and decrease consumption of omega-6. But a change in diet is only part of the solution, say authorities in this field. Supplementation with omega-3s is also essential. “As the leading supplier of omega-3 fish oils worldwide, the Nordic Naturals line is committed to correcting the global deficiency by supplying pure, fresh, safe, and effective omega-3 supplements,” says BC-based registered holistic nutritionist Sarah J. Cuff, RHN.Further information is available at www.nordicnaturals.ca. www.newscanada.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 • Ju n e 4 , 2 0 1 5 20 AP AwardWinner We are available to serve you Emergencies and New Patients Welcome DENTAL OFFICE DR.

Winning the Memorial Cup, the Lindros trade and Armstrong goal will go down as the most memorable moments of the season. No more are there perfect days. Yesterday wasn’t. Today isn’t. And tomorrow won’t be either. Such is the nature of things for the former National Hockey League star Keith Primeau and others. Author Jeff Mitchell has covered the Beverly Smith murder investigation for the better part of two decades leading up to last year’s acquittal of Alan Smith. Now, 41 years after her death, the question still remains, who killed Beverly Smith? The Coldest Case, Mr. Mitchell’s latest e-book, was compiled over the course of countless hours of courtroom testimony, legal arguments and review of surreptitiously recorded conversations, investigative files and police interrogations. It is a story that begins with an unspeakably cruel crime then careens through the ensuing decades, sometimes with great momentum, sometimes with no developments for years. Read part of the foreword to The Coldest Case: The house is gone now. There’s nothing left of the structure that stood for decades, a silent reminder of a terrible event and an enduring mystery. For years, people would gaze at the house. It sat silent, nondescript, yet sinister. “That’s where the murder happened,” they’d say. Sometime after the supper hour on December 9, 1974, someone stood behind Beverly Smith in her kitchen and fired a single shot from a .22 calibre gun. Beverly fell to the floor, dead. The shooter fled into the pre-winter gloom, leaving her there. Silence gathered in the room, eradicating the sudden sound - that shot in the night - that no one heard. No one but the killer. The discovery of Bev’s body later that night would set in motion a series of investigations and events spanning the next 40 years, all part of a troubling mystery that lingers to this day. There remains no definitive answer to the question: Who killed Beverly Smith? That doesn’t mean that suspects have not been identified - they have. It does not mean that the full force of the justice system has not been brought to bear on a man believed to have committed the heinous act - it has. But all these years later, no convictions have been registered; no one has been found guilty of the murder. The question remains unanswered. It is a mystery born of tragedy and loss. And until the mystery is solved, the story is incomplete. /ebooks journey towards 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 • Ju n e 4 , 2 0 1 5 23 P Auto Service SpeciAlS brock road and 401 PIckerIng SerVIce cenTer HoUrS Mon.-FrI. 7:30aM-8:00PM Sat. 7:30-6:00 • Sun.9:00-6:00 905-686-2309Avoid the Rush Call for an appointment FronT WHeeL aLIgnMenT • CheCk Ball joints • CheCk tie Rod ends • CheCk foR steeRing leaks • fRont Wheel adjustments • shims oR ReaR adjustments extRa PreMIUM deTaILIng $50SaVe reg. $199.99SPecIaL$149.99 IncLUdeS WASH EXTERIOR, REMOVE TAR AND GREASE AND SAP FROM EXTERIOR, POWER WASH MATS, DRESS TIRES, CLEAN WINDOWS INSIDE AND OUT, DEODORIZE INTERIOR, VACUUM CARPET MATS AND SEATS AND TRUNK, CLEAN DOOR JAMS AND TRUNK OPENING, DEGREASE ROCKER PANELS AND WHEEL WELLS, APPLY HIGH QUALITY HAND WAX TO EXTERIOR, CLEAN VINYL AND DETAIL WITH DRESSING, SHAMPOO ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT $50SaVe $49.99 reg. $99.99 PICKERING -- On the 71st anniversary of D-Day in the Second World War, the City of Pickering, in partnership with Royal Candian Legion branches 258 and 606, com- memorated the sacrifices made by Canadians during and after the Normandy land- ings. A parade started at the Pickering Recreation Complex and ended at Pickering City Hall. Daniel Luk photo Pickering remembers Canadian sacrifices on D-Day Legions hosts parade, remembrance ceremony Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Standing a dozen feet or so from the Pickering cenotaph, leaning lightly on the umbrella he brought with him, Peter Gilbert waited patiently for the approaching procession. Marching in step with pounding drums, the long line of Legion members, war vet- erans and cadets made their way from the Pickering Recreation Centre on Sun- day morning and through Esplanade Park before filing inside City Hall for a ceremony to mark the 71st anniversary of the D-Day invasions during the Second World War. “We have to remember and honour all those soldiers who were there at D-Day,” said Mr. Gilbert of the June 6, 1944 attack on German-held Normandy by Allied troops. “I’m a retired reserve officer and I can’t think of any place I’d rather be today. I’m a soldier and this is what we do to remember them.” On that June day, nearly 150,000 troops, including 14,000 Canadians, stormed the beaches of Western Europe in an effort to end four years of German occupation. They encountered plenty of opposition from the Germans’ defence -- from artillery and machine guns to mines and booby-traps -- but ultimately claimed victory. Their success, though, came at a high cost for Canada: 1,074 casualties, including 359 killed. “The D-Day celebrations have become more important because it’s been (71) years and there are many World War Two veter- ans dying,” continued Mr. Gilbert. “There’s only a handful of them left.” Sitting on a bench in Esplanade Park, with a good vantage point secured for the parade, Ivan McCann waited for his daugh- ter, a member of the cadets, to stroll by. “It’s fantastic, it really is,” said Mr. McCann of Pickering’s efforts to pay tribute to Can- ada’s contribution to the Second World War. “You’ve got to keep it alive because the younger generation has to know what hap- pened.” Standing in front of a half-dozen or so Pickering firefighters on hand to watch the parade was Wendy Bernacchia, who has attended Pickering’s D-Day celebrations “many times” over the years. “It’s important we carry on with this because our veterans are leaving us,” said the Pickering woman. Beside her was Sandra Spruce, who came out to watch her son march in the proces- sion. “It’s important for us to remember them,” said Ms. Bruce, whose father served in the Second World War. Both women hoped the spring celebra- tion would be promoted more in future years in an effort to increase the number of spectators. “There was really no advertising for this,” said Ms. Bruce, of Ajax. “You always know when Remembrance Day is and there is always advertising around it. More should be done for (D-Day) because it was such a pivotal point in the war.” The memorial were hosted by a pair of Legions -- Bay Ridges Branch 606 and High- land Creek Branch 258 -- and the ceremony included greetings from local dignitaries, songs and scripture readings.

But look for him at Woodland Disco and Glowfest in Oshawa on Aug. 14. “Maybe not dancing, but I’ll be there,” he says. The event is just one of many in the first Durham Festival, coming to the region Aug. 13 to 16. Held at Parkwood Estate, Woodland Disco and Glowfest is a new and free event for the whole family, with a DJ disco dance party, kids’ crafts and activities, interactive art and more. While most of the festival events already existed, they are now under one big umbrella celebrating Durham’s culture and creativity. It’s definitely a team effort. “No one municipality can do what’s going on,” Mayor Henry says. “This is what makes Durham great.” “We’re one region working together for a common cause.” The festival kicked off in grand style on May 29 at Whitby’s Heydenshore Pavilion, featuring local musicians such as Trish Robb, The Macs and The Wolfgang Broth- ers. Michael Coteau, Ontario’s minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, attended to wish Durham residents “not only a great festival season but a great summer.” “This has been in our Durham Tourism strategy for many years,” says Kerri King, Durham Tourism manager, who suggests the timing was exactly right. “We thought the opportunity would exist as the Pan Am Games and the Para- pan Am Games come to a close.” “Our hope is to really showcase Durham and encourage people to come to visit. We really want our communities and resi- dents to act as ambassadors.” King said it took a year to align the Dur- ham Festival events. As tricky as that task was, choosing the festival name from the many suggestions on the table was also a lengthy process. “There will be opportunities region wide to take all of it in and participate,” said Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, who described the festival as “four days of fun, four days of getting to know your neighbours, four days of bringing friends and families to Durham Region.” The festival events include Dusk Danc- es in the Park and a Driftwood Theatre performance at the Pickering lakefront, Taste Ajax and Elevation2015 in Ajax and Picasso’s Picnic at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington. And if you want to sit on a world-record- setting try, the Durham Harvest Picnic at Victoria Fields in Whitby on Aug. 15 will see an attempt to break the world record for the longest picnic table. Anderson said “we need 100 volunteers” to make the table and, record or not, it will wel- come more than 500 people who have either brought their own picnic baskets or are sampling food from on-site vendors. Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge are com- ing to Port Whitby Marina on Aug. 15 at a North Durham Village, offering up samples of what the northern munici- palities have to offer. It will also feature local musicians and a Kids’ Zone. And of course south Durham people can get in the car and see and experience north Durham for themselves. “We’re designing driving routes that will highlight Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock because there’s so many things to see up there,” King says.

Dancyn Productions presents ‘In the Limelight’ on June 13 at the Harmony Creek Community Cen- tre in Oshawa. The group’s first play offering was The Giver in December 2014 and it also produced Tuesdays with Morrie in March. Joan Mansfield, Dancyn’s found- er and artistic/executive director, says attendees will learn which three plays the group is offering to audiences in its 2015/16 season. “One of my favourite musicals is Jekyll and Hyde and there’s a line in the song This is the Moment that reads, “all the dreaming, scream- ing and scheming” that fits well into my vision, but my vision can- not become reality without the support of all those in and around the theatre community,” Mans- field says. “It takes lots of money to produce shows of high calibre and in order to keep admission prices affordable for all, fundrais- ing is of utmost importance.” The evening gets underway with a cocktail hour at 5 p.m., featur- ing a live jazz band, followed by a sit-down dinner and live per- formances by actors, singers and dancers beginning at 7:30 p.m. The event also features a silent auction and door prizes.

Not too shabby for someone who was a high-level sprinter while growing up in Ajax. Farzam, a 22-year-old Oshawa resident now, is keeping very busy these days, not only pursuing a medical career but also medals in the sport of powerlifting. After doing just that, winning bronze at the national championships in Newfound- land, Farzam has qualified for the world championships in Finland and will be com- peting against the best of the best on June 10. “It’s going to be an extremely tough com- petition for sure,” said Farzam, who has just graduated as a biology major from UOIT. “At the national championships, I sig- nificantly under-performed relative to my potential, so if I do perform up to the point that I’m physically capable, then I feel like I should finish top five for sure and have a decent shot at a medal.” Farzam was a strong enough sprinter while going through Pickering High School that he reached provincial and national lev- els in that sport as well. Weight training was always part of his reg- imen, however, and he was good enough at it that friends in the gym would constantly recommend he give competitive lifting a try. When he arrived at UOIT, time constraints and a back injury led him to giving up run- ning and, once healed, he focused on pow- erlifting. In his first competition in October 2013, he met with immediate success. “I ended up winning overall, so that made me a lot more motivated and from there the training really picked up,” explained Far- zam, who’s typically in the gym four days a week at four hours per session. “Obviously it’s been a big challenge with school and all that.” Powerlifting involves three disciplines -- squat, bench press and deadlift -- and dif- fers from the Olympic sport of weightlifting, which includes the snatch and the clean and jerk. Competing in the 83-kilogram weight class, one of the more competitive divisions, Farzam went into nationals ranked No. 1 and was eyeing at least a silver medal over- all, but was happy enough with the bronze given that he still qualified for the worlds. “My main goal, to be honest, was just to secure a spot for Team Canada for the world championships,” he said. “There was mini- mal room for error and I ended up making a significant degree of error.” Farzam says he can lift in the low 400- pound range in the bench press, his stron- gest event, as well the low 500s in squat and the mid- to-high 500s in deadlift. Although life is about to get even more hectic -- he’s off to medical school soon and has also started an online business at new- powerathlete.com -- Farzam says he will continue on in the sport with ambitious goals. “I have some long-term goals for sure,” he said. “I hope to bench press well over 500 pounds some day and I hope to win an overall world title some day.” AJAX -- Khashayar Farzam, a UOIT student who grew up in Ajax, won a bronze medal at the Canadian powerlifting champion- ships in Newfoundland. He is going to the world championships in Finland this month. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Wumi Agunbiade gets Team Canada invite DURHAM -- A couple of local basketball players have been invited to try out for the Canada women’s team headed to the FISU games in Gwangiu, South Korea. Wumi Agunbiade of Pickering, and Dakota Whyte from Ajax, are among the 22 athletes who have been invited to a try- out from June 6-9 in Toronto. After the tryout, the development women’s national team will take part in a training camp in Toronto from June 10-19. Ahead of the FISU games, the squad is participating in a Chinese exhibition tour- nament from June 22-28. The team will then compete in the FISU games, an international competition that brings together student-athletes from around the world. The women’s basketball competition runs July 5-13. Agunbiade, a six-foot-one forward, is a graduate of Dunbarton, who went on to star at Duquesne University. After gradua- tion she went to Romania to play profes- sionally last year.

WUMI AGUNBIADE Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 40 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.

Ajax and Pickering’s Favourite Hamburger 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 • Ju n e 4 , 2 0 1 5 27 PGold for members of Durham Gymnastics Academy DURHAM -- Boys from the Durham Gymnastics Academy did well at the 2015 Ontario championships. Competing in the Level 4, 13years+ cat- egory for the club was Daniel Newth of Ajax. Newth won the gold medal on the rings event, silver medal on the floor exercise and pommel horse events and placed second overall. Joshua Del Genio of Ajax and Liam Terry of Pickering competed in the level 3, 13years+ group. Del Genio won two bronze medals on the rings and vault events and placed fifth overall. Terry finished 13th overall and was seventh on parallel bars. Gregory Peister of Pickering, Jack Henderson of Ajax and Ryan Brubach- er of Whitby all competed in the level 1, 8-11years group. Peister won the silver medal on vault, Henderson was seventh on vault, and Brubacher was ninth on rings. Newth was also named to Team Ontario and represented the province at the East- ern Canadian championships in Monc- ton, New Brunswick. Breaking a finger hours before he was to compete, Newth had to convince his coaches to allow him to compete. Despite his injury, Newth won the gold medal on rings and helped lead Ontario to the gold medal in the team competi- tion. He also won the bronze medal in the all-around competition. All athletes have now concluded their 2015 season and are now busy preparing for next year.

However, some things are standard, whether your child will be riding horses or building circuit boards. Here are some of the must-have things you’ll need to include in your children’s luggage. Be sure to start packing well ahead of departure day so you have enough time to purchase any items they don’t yet have. Apart from a daily change of weather-appropriate clothing, underwear, and socks, the following items are recommended: • sun hat or baseball cap • bathing suit • warm sweater and pants, in case of cold weather • running shoes • raincoat or poncho • plastic bags for dirty or wet clothes Make sure their toiletries kit includes these: • sunscreen • lip balm, ideally with sun protection • medications, if any • insect repellent Be sure to pack a few things that will of fer comfort du ring any moments of home sickness: • a stuffed toy • stamped and self-addressed envelopes and writing paper so they can write home Your children are going to come home with lasting memories of summer camp. Why not throw in a disposable camera so they can capture some of them in colour?
