Create your own backyard oasis in Durham Carson Arthur newsroom@durhamregion.com There’s no question that when the warm weather hits, backyards become the social centre of any household. Lon- ger days mean more time to spend with our children or grandchildren, or to unwind with friends in the beautiful out- doors. And while this can be relaxing and fun, the prospect of making the most of our backyard spaces can be difficult and frustrating. It’s a worry I’m hearing more and more from clients -- how do I create an outdoor oasis while also maximizing my return- on-investment when the time comes to sell? Now, I may offend a few die-hard gar- deners out there but I’m of the firm belief that a backyard’s value lies within its usable space. After all, if you don’t have a spot to sit outside with family and friends and enjoy the roses, then those blooms are a wasted opportunity. Plus, extending the usable, living space of your home is a top motivator for buy- ers, according the Century21 Canada (2014). Here are my three tips on creating the perfect outdoor room while boosting your ROI: Build a deck -- Decks have traditionally been the best choice because they hold their value the longest with mini- mal effort. Accord- ing to Renovation Magazine’s 2015 Cost vs. Value report, adding a wood deck to your back- yard is one of the top smart investments in your home with a return of over 80 per cent. When building a deck, choosing the right material is key. I love using Micro- Pro Sienna, a pressure-treated wood that has a gorgeous rich brown hue that doesn’t require initial staining and it’s affordable. Plus, having received numer- ous environmental certifications, Sienna won’t run-off harmful toxins into your garden. Create privacy -- Don’t simply rely on fences and the tree at the back of the yard to do all of the work. In my opinion, there are far more subtle and stylish ways to achieve that private moment. Adding fun, creative walls made out of repur- posed furniture around the sides of your outdoor room creates visual distractions whilst also adding a sense of style and colour. Or if you’d rather keep it natural, small trees are great for creating privacy. You can plant them closer to your deck without the fear of the tree taking over the entire space. Add shade -- Not just for blocking the sun, an outdoor roof defines the room. My favourite option will always be the pergola. Great for growing vines, creating ambience, and even for hanging outdoor lights, the pergola makes any outdoor space feel welcoming and intimate. Some may think a pergola is purely decora- tive but, to me, when I walk into an out- door room with a roof, it just feels right. It’s that intangible connection that you want a potential buyer to unconsciously notice. Ultimately, every renovation we make to our homes not only has to meet our needs as homeowners, it should also increase the home’s value. This idea of return-on-investment has arguably become the most important fac- tor influencing how we spend our reno- vation budgets. If you can create a home that works for your family, and at the same time know that it’s the type of home a future buyer wants, then it’s a win-win in my books. Carson Arthur is an inter- national landscape designer with a focus on environmentally friendly design. His HGTV series, Criti- cal Listing, teaches homeowners how to raise the value of their homes through outdoor renovations.

AJAX -- A waste collector is charged with assaulting a woman and two police officers in an incident Thursday that was reportedly sparked by an Ajax resident asking that her blue box not be thrown. A woman and two police officers were treated for injuries after the incident, which began at about 5 p.m. July 23 in the vicinity of Westney and Ravenscroft roads, Durham police said. A 29-year-old woman approached a waste collector and asked him to stop throwing recycling bins onto front lawns as the bins were being damaged, police said. The suspect physically assaulted the woman and continued on his route, police said. Officers caught up with the collector and were assaulted as they approached him, police said. The cops were able to gain con- trol of the suspect and take him into custody. The woman and the officers were all injured during interactions with the suspect, said police spokeswoman Jodi MacLean. They were treated at hospital. “There were multiple injuries to all three,” she said. The injuries weren’t life-threaten- ing, “but they were serious enough that they required treatment,” Ms. MacLean said. Sheldon McPherson, 32 of Horne Avenue, Ajax is charged with assault causing bodily harm, assaulting police, resisting arrest and two counts of mischief. Waste collection in Ajax is contracted out to Miller Waste Management, a spokesperson at Durham Region said.

Taser used to quell fracas outside Pickering bar Pickering man faces charges PICKERING -- Police used a Taser device to subdue a man who became violent with cops after being refused entry to a Pickering bar Friday night. Several charges have been laid against a man in the incident, which began at about 11:30 p.m. July 24 when a security guard refused an intoxicated man entry to the Island Mix Bar on Brock Road, Durham police said. Cops were called after the sus- pect assaulted and exposed himself to the guard, police said. Officers located a man stumbling around in a parking lot. He fled and was corralled on Brock Road, where he tried to fight the officers, police said. The man was subdued with a conducted energy device and taken into custody. No one was injured during the fracas. Floyd Padmore, 28, of Bainbridge Drive in Pickering, is charged with assault, assault- ing police, committing an indecent act and breach of recognizance.

It’s interesting and occurred to me that while I write about the characters travelling through our auctions I was reminded my own family has provided numerous curious, weird moments and material. My father passed away almost a year and a half ago. He lived a rich and reward- ing life with engaging work which took our family many places. In fact, my parents moved 27 times. My dad kept a diary and in his last years wrote and published his 900- plus page autobiography called One Life. My mother passed away seven years prior and my father in his grief “hosted” four funerals in her memory. This in itself was very strange -– we had a service at the seniors’ home where she last resided, we had a service and reception at the funer- al home, and of course a proper Catholic funeral service at her church on the lake in Port Dalhousie complete with a rendition of Danny Boy and another catered reception at the Legion. The fourth was her final rest- ing place with another service, priest and all. As these funerals progressed. fewer attended and my father grew increasingly angry with the dwindling crowd. I also missed one of the four. It actually became comical and I often thought even my moth- er would have gotten a kick out of all of the fuss. After all she was a fun-loving Irish- Catholic with a wicked sense of humor. Which brings me to our most recent funeral -– my mother’s fifth and my father’s first. My father’s passing meant another move and another service for my moth- er; after all they needed to be together. I smiled and couldn’t help but think my moth- er had now moved 32 times and after living all over the world was now settled in beside my father in a small town outside of Peter- borough. May she finally rest in peace. -- -- Marsha Hill is currently working for Gary Hill Auctions after working in the corporate world in Toronto for almost 30 years. She lives in Port Perry. Marsha Hill Guest column Family A great evening of Pan Am action To the editor: We attended the baseball game at The President’s Choice field in Ajax on Tues- day, July 14 between Cuba and Canada. The game was exciting, the fans enthu- siastic, and the stadium was packed. We learned some Spanish from the Cuban fans. The volunteers were very helpful. The walk from the parking lot was inter- esting and exciting after, and the game was amazingly choreographed. It was a great evening.

Durham school board makes a difference Public school board efforts in Durham to reduce the effects of poverty on learning are starting to bear educational fruit. The Durham District School Board’s Make A Difference program introduced in Sep- tember 2013, designed specifically to miti- gate the effects of poverty, has been so suc- cessful that it is hosting a fall symposium on its initiatives to show other Ontario boards how to duplicate it in their home communi- ties. Here in Durham the focus has been on the family of schools in low-income neighbour- hoods in south Oshawa. Since 2013, Make a Difference has introduced breakfast pro- grams, vision, dental and hearing screen- ing, parent and family literacy centres, par- ent workshops and oral language programs. One other vital support, not to mention a brilliant idea, is the board’s plan to establish a ‘Schools Supporting Schools’ program in which more affluent and able commu- nity schools undertake fundraising initia- tives for ‘have-not’ schools in lower income neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, an expansion of the program is in store for the upcoming school year with mental health programs for students in Grades 4 and 5 and 7 and 8. Each element of Make a Difference is geared at allowing young students -- whose parents might struggle with employment, or under-employment -- to focus on learning. Full stomachs and supportive programs promote better academic outcomes. As well, personal support kits that provide stu- dents with items, those which other families might easily purchase as a matter of course, such as mittens, coats, shampoo, backpacks and necessary school supplies also allow students to learn. The DDSB’s Make A Difference initiative is doing just that. It is an inspiring, seri- ous and thoughtful response to a situa- tion over which the board has no control, but which nonetheless goes a long way to isolate the effects of poverty, at least dur- ing all-important school hours, and better facilitate learning. If a solid academic foot- ing is one of the key components of future success, then Make A Difference, in low- income communities across Ontario, is the start line in building that future for young students. Uniform learning throughout the DDSB’s system is an ideal but difficult goal to reach when factors such as poverty are included in the equation. The Make A Difference pro- gram serves to mitigate the effects poverty has on young minds, level the educational playing field for those who face such barriers, and pro- vide much more positive outcomes for boys and girls in Durham by closing the gap between poverty and learning A little ashamed of 10-year-old me Sometimes I still feel like I’m 10 years old. And, unfortunately, I don’t mean in a ‘Gosh it’s great to be alive, let’s run through the sprinkler and then see what Mom’s made for lunch’ kind of way. Or even a ‘Hey guys, Ernie found a Penthouse in the dumpster behind the smoke shop and he’s sharing’ kind of way. No. I mean a ‘For the love of God, why did I just let that ignorant idiot treat me like that without even saying a damned thing back?’ kind of way. Last Sunday afternoon, Kathryn and I were sitting in the living room playing Scrabble when I saw a strange man walk- ing through our backyard. And when I say strange I don’t mean that he was dressed in a taffeta ball gown or was naked and reciting Chaucer at the top of his lungs. I mean sim- ply that he was not on my list of men who I would be unsurprised or at least mildly but happily surprised to see strolling through my yard. That is to say my dad, one or both of my sons or Gregory Peck (I have always harboured a secret fantasy that one day Greg would stroll by and, over mint juleps, we would discuss in detail his experiences playing Atticus Finch). This man was clearly none of those. I leapt to my feet, opened the door onto the deck and called out, in what I hoped was a grown-up voice, “Can I help you?” Without even looking up he groused back: “Bell Canada. Working on the column.” It was then I saw his tool belt. The ‘column’ was one of those three-foot tall, brown, alu- minum Bell thingies that stick up out of the ground here and there in suburbia. This one was located in the corner of our yard, just behind my neighbour’s garage. He could well have been a legit Bell technician. But what’s to stop some weirdo from throwing on a tool belt and strolling through back- yards to scope out some private stuff? What if we’d been playing Scrabble naked? I’ve never done it, but I’d be lying if I said I’d never thought about it. What if that had been the case? I continued on in my query, this time adopting an Atticus Finch-like tone: friendly but tempered with an author- itarian resolve. “Might’ve been nice if you’d knocked on the front door. Let us know you needed access.” “Check your agreement, I’m legally allowed back here.” Well, at least now I knew he was actually with Bell. No garden-variety perv would be that ill-mannered. I continued, “I meant, for your own safety. We have dogs.” “Check your agreement.” Wow. I was being blown off by a Bell guy in my own backyard. I was definitely starting to feel like that 10 year old. This was a criti- cal juncture. I could hear my father’s DNA calling me. It was telling me to go out there, grab buddy by the tool belt, and frog march his smarmy ass off of my property. Unfortu- nately, I could also hear Kathryn approach- ing, her Irish blood beginning to boil like a kettle full of spuds. Suddenly it was all I could do to keep her from tearing Mr. Con- geniality a new one. Anyway, like a car crash, it was all over in seconds. The Bell butthead was gone, Kath- ryn was strapped into her calm chair and I was left with the cold comfort of thinking of all of the witty things I should’ve said. I hate that. Ten years old and not a Penthouse or a sprinkler in sight. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 APPublic high school teachers vow to withdraw some services when school resumes in September if no deal is reached.

Sometimes when shooting sports, I stick the camera through the ropes or over the boards and point it at the play and blast off a few no-look frames. Generally, the results are horrible. I was shooting the batter when she hit a foul into the stands. I saw the fan react and pointed the camera up and shot two no-look frames. Sometimes you just get lucky. RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND Barb Steve: Is anyone really sur- prised?? I have said all along this would be a bust for Oshawa and we would see very little money being spent here. Maybe if they had better events you might have seen more tourism dollars spent in our city. The Pan Scam games strike again. Chloe Landry: I pass the GM Cen- tre daily and there has been very little traffic there. I have to wonder how much money the city spent on the Pan Am games vs. how much they’re actu- ally bringing in... Robyn Minnikin: No surprise. Heard the same thing in Welland. This has cost money not made any. Please Toronto don’t bid on the Olympics. Michelle Collins: For those living here there has been almost zero impact in us. Very little extra traffic. I expected Walmart to be nuts and its still the same if not quieter. Roads and pla- zas are almost empty at times. I think a lot of residences went away and tourists just aren’t shopping.

But at Dr. C.F. Cannon P.S. in south Oshawa, they’re a necessity. “A lot of our kids struggle with things like not having laundry facilities in their apart- ment. Their families have to go to laundro- mat and spend $90 a month to do laun- dry,” says school principal Cristina Cox. “That can be a problem if the kids need their school jersey washed, or maybe need their snowsuit washed in the winter.” The school also grapples with higher than average rates of late arrivals and absences, children who show up without eating break- fast -- or with no lunch or snacks packed -- and bedbug outbreaks at the nearby apart- ment buildings. “Historically, this has always been an area with struggles,” says Ms. Cox, noting the School Community Council at Dr. C.F. Can- non raised about $1,000 this year, com- pared with $40,000 at some schools in north Oshawa. “What we’re trying to do is level the playing field. What is fair is not always equal, and what is equal is not always fair.” It’s no secret that there is a correlation between poverty and school success. “If you draw circles around areas where there’s poverty, you will see schools with lower EQAO results,” says Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett. “The reality is, these kids don’t have the resources to be able to learn. That could be things like access to the Inter- net, a parent who has time to read with them, access to community resources like libraries, or glasses if they have a vision issue.” About 11 per cent of children in Durham Region are living below the low-income cutoff -- the threshold below which families spend 20 percentage points more than average on food, shelter and clothing. That number is 19.8 per cent in Oshawa, which is why the Durham District School Board focused there in September 2013, when it launched Make a Difference, a unique initiative to lessen the impact of poverty on some of the community’s most vulnerable students. Twelve high-risk Oshawa schools were identi- fied using data that includes EQAO test scores and the Social Risk Index -- a tool that assesses the socio-economic health of neighbourhoods. Over the past two years, students and their families have been receiving a range of supports including school breakfast programs; vision, dental and hearing screening; parent and family literacy centres; parent workshops and oral lan- guage programs. A steering committee is bringing community partners to the table, including the United Way of Durham Region, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club of Durham and UOIT. “I’m hearing about incredible difference this is making,” Mr. Barrett says, noting Make a Difference is one of the main reasons he ran for re-election to his school board seat. “For the first time, we have a concerted effort.” The DDSB’s poverty initiatives have been so successful that other school boards across Ontario are now looking to duplicate them. In October, the school board will host a pro- vincial symposium on poverty and present a “how-to guide” for other boards to follow. Kevina Morrison, principal at Bobby Orr P.S. in south Oshawa, says Make a Difference is indeed making a difference for her students. “In south Oshawa, we know we have to work as hard or harder than other schools to close the gap for our kids,” she says. “This is helping us do that.” In her school community, Ms. Morrison says families struggle with limited access to grocery stores and banks -- the school couldn’t give a cheque to a graduating student who won a recent award, because there is nowhere for them to cash it. Many students are transient, moving from school to school within south Oshawa. Some are back at Bobby Orr for the third time in their short academic careers. Others don’t have access to fresh, whole food at home, with pro- cessed options like Lunchables a common sight at lunch hour. Make a Difference has allowed the school to offer a breakfast program every morning at 8 a.m. and healthy snack bins that go to every classroom at 9:30 a.m. The school was also able to purchase an industrial fridge so items such as cheese and juice can be bought in bulk. Ms. Morrison echoes what others have said about levelling the playing field. “We’re trying to give our kids the things that a lot of others already have,” she says. The DDSB is planning to expand Make a Difference for the 2015/2016 school year. New this summer, two Make a Difference schools are offering mental health programs for students in Grades 4 and 5, and 7 and 8. The DDSB plans to open a Make a Differ- ence depot, where bulk food for breakfast and snack programs can be stored, as well as other supplies for kids in need, such as mit- tens, coats, shampoo, backpacks and school supplies. A funding application has been submit- ted to buy refrigeration units for the depot, so perishable food can be bought in bulk as well. Other initiatives include posting mental health nurses at the Glen Street P.S. and Dr. C.F. Cannon P.S. Parent and Family Litera- cy Centres on designated days, establishing a Poverty Foundation to secure donations for Durham families in need, and creating a “Schools Supporting Schools” plan that would see DDSB schools with strong fund- raising abilities fund initiatives for “have-not” schools. Another new initiative will see free kits dis- tributed to at-risk families with babies and toddlers, providing activities and resources to help kids reach developmental milestones. DDSB superintendent Lisa Millar says the kits are a vital piece of the puzzle, because children’s most crucial development hap- pens between birth and age six. Data shows young children living in pover- ty often start falling behind before they even start school. For example, all 12 Make a Difference schools have low Early Development Instru- ment scores -- a tool teachers use to determine a child’s readiness to learn at school. Students entering kindergarten at those schools are “vulnerable” in three to five of the five assessment areas. “These are things like oral language, cognition and motor skills,” Ms. Millar says, noting that gap can continue throughout a child’s entire school career. “If we can close the gap early, if we can engage par- ents and provide them with supports, we can change the trajectory of the child’s education -- and potentially their entire life.” HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU About 11 per cent of children in Durham Region are living below the low-income cutoff, and 19.8 per cent of children in Oshawa fall below that benchmark. Pov- erty has a significant impact on a child’s ability to succeed at school — and it starts before they’re even in kindergar- ten. For example, schools in areas of Oshawa affected by poverty have low Early Development Instrument scores, a tool teachers use to determine a child’s readiness to learn at school. Children at these schools are behind in areas like oral language, cognition and motor skills. POVERTY:Durham kids from low-income families lagging before they even start school OSHAWA -- The Make a Difference program was launched in 2013 to address the impact of poverty on student academic success. The program is in place at 12 schools in Oshawa and data shows it is having an impact. New this year is the Make a Difference My Way program that focuses on promoting self-esteem, well-being, and healthy relationships. Mental health nurse Sandra Chen helped conduct the program at Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School.

Joyce Chapman, 84, has pur- chased a memorial bench and a red maple tree, but not for somebody else; she’s purchased them for herself. “It was in my will and I thought, ‘I’m not waiting until I die,’” she said. “I’m just waiting for the plaque to be put on.” She said the two together cost her nearly $2,000. “I can’t get near it because of the goose shit and the birds themselves,” she said. “I was attacked by one.” She’s facing a problem many people in lakeshore munici- palities have to deal with: geese droppings. “Every municipality that’s on a lakefront has this problem,” said Jeff Goring, Pickering’s acting co-ordinator of environ- mental awareness programs. When Ms. Chapman took her concerns to City Hall, Mr. Gor- ing met with her. He ordered a special work order after he went to see the bench for himself. He didn’t see droppings on the bench, but noticed a lot nearby on the sidewalk. Each year, Pickering hires the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority to conduct geese roundup, which takes place when the geese are moulting. “We had just under 100 moved up,” he said of the roundup in June. The geese basically walk toward a corral and are relocat- ed to an area north of Peterbor- ough. “There’s about a 15 per cent return rate,” said Mr. Goring. He said the City regularly cleans the benches and pres- sure washes geese droppings off the sidewalk when needed. Mr. Goring noted the City has tried other methods to keep the geese away, but it’s not an easy feat. For example, the City has brought in someone with a hawk to scare them away. “We found they’d return after a week or two,” he said. The TRCA also oils eggs, which block air exchange through the pores in the eggs and prevents them from hatching. “That’s just to kind of keep the population down a little bit,” Mr. Goring said. There is no quick fix to the issue, but it’s something the City continues to work on. “A lot of it is just keeping on top of it,” Mr. Goring said. Ms. Chapman is hopeful she’ll be able to enjoy some nice days by Frenchman’s Bay this sum- mer, sitting on her bench, next to her tree. Ajax & Pickering Locations8 Salem Rd.

The City cleans the benches and also does its best to contain the geese population by oiling their eggs.

This approach sets aside land for a potential future airport and the creation of Rouge National Urban Park. To update the current airport site designation and to replace the current Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, Transport Canada is now following a regulatory process to: • Declare a smaller portion of the Pickering Lands an airport site, as defined in the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(1); and •Propose Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, under the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(2). These regulations aim to protect the new, smaller Pickering Airport site for future aviation needs, by ensuring land use and development adjacent to and in the vicinity of the airport site does not interfere with safe aircraft operations. Yo u can find the text of the proposed regulations at http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2015/2015-07-18/html/reg1-eng.php http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2015/2015-07-18/html/reg2-eng.php Transport Canada published official notice of these proposed regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on July 18, 2015 and again on July 25, 2015. We now enter a 60-day public consultation period, where interested persons may submit written comments about the proposed regulations between July 18, 2015 and September 15, 2015 to: By Mail:Transport Canada - Civil Aviation Regional Director 4900 Yonge Street, Suite 400 Toronto, Ontario M2N 6A5 By Email:CASO-SACO@tc.gc.ca You must include the name of this newspaper and the date this notice was published.

COnSUmERChOiCE AwARd2015GTA EAST Police Medical episode suspected cause of crash that closed Kingston Road in Ajax AJAX -- A man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a single-vehicle crash that closed Kingston Road in Ajax recently. It’s believed a medical episode may have led to the incident, on Kingston Road near Church Street North just after 7 p.m. July 20, Durham police said. A 36-year-old Ajax man was eastbound on Kingston Road in his Dodge Caravan when the vehicle slowed to a stop in the inside lane, then suddenly accelerated across the westbound lanes and crashed into a rock retaining wall. Emergency personnel used the jaws of life to free the trapped driver, police said. The man was taken to a local hospital with multiple injuries, then transferred to a Toron- to trauma centre. As of Wednesday morning he was listed in stable condition. The roadway remained closed for an hour and a half. Police have contacted the Ministry of Transportation, but don’t expect charges will be laid.

Sara Groenewegen gutted out a com- plete-game effort from the pitcher’s circle in the scorching heat, and Canada erupt- ed for four runs in the top of the eighth to win its second Pan Am Games gold, and first since 1983. With an international tie-breaking rule putting a runner on second base in the extra inning, Canada benefited from a dropped ball by U.S. shortstop Kellie Fox, who lost the ball in the sun. After a ground-out and an intentional walk to load the bases, Joey Lye delivered the key hit, a two-run single, and Can- ada then pushed another pair home to add some much-needed insurance as it turned out. Groenewegen ended up allowing two runs, one earned, on six hits, walking three and striking out six for the win. She was aided by some terrific defensive play, especially from centre fielder Larissa Franklin. “This is the best game we’ve played all year and it’s perfect timing,” said Groe- newegen after the game. “Larissa Frank- lin, she is unreal. I went up to her after the game and said, ‘I owe you a Starbucks or something because you just saved my game’. There were just so many plays that were made and it’s great timing.” The U.S. cut the deficit in half with its last gasp, but Sierra Romero struck out looking with runners on first and third to end the game and spark a celebration before the jammed-packed and excited crowd. “I’m really proud of the girls,” said man- ager Mark Smith. “We talked about what it would take. We talked about how difficult it would be. We’ve been at the losing end of many, many games against the Ameri- cans and some of them we’ve taken some pretty good drubbings, including one in the round robin.” It was a fantastically entertaining game and a perfect ending to the softball por- tion of the Pan Am Games, which also saw the men win gold with a 2-1 victory over Venezuela. Lye, a 28-year-old veteran of the team who won silver at the 2011 Guadalajara Games, said she had no nerves during the key at-bat, but was thrilled with the result. “It would top the charts, for sure,” said Lye, when asked how important the game was to her. “It means more than I could even explain. It’s such a feeling that I can’t even describe. We know we’re that good and we expect ourselves to win, but at the same time we have never taken a gold medal in my career from the U.S. so it’s indescribable.” Lye, while admitting ‘the swaggin’ wagon’, as they call Groenewegen, was key to Sunday’s big win, said the gold medal was a product of a full team effort. “We call on every single person to con- tribute and everybody was ready,” she said. “It was awesome.” The U.S. came into the game undefeat- ed in the tournament, including wins of 7-0 and 5-2 over Canada, and having won eight of the nine previous Pan Am Games tournaments. Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG Durham athletes earn six gold medals, 11 all told at Pan Am Games DURHAM — When the clos- ing cer- emonies brought the curtain down on the Pan Am Games, it went down in history as the most successful one in terms of results for Canadian ath- letes. Canada finished the Games with 217 medals, including 78 gold, 69 sil- ver and 70 bronze. The only country that did better was the United States, which tallied 265 medals, including 103 gold. The strong contingent of Durham Region athletes made a significant contribution to the medal haul. Local athletes won six gold med- als and 11 medals all told, in a wide variety of sports during the Games. Collecting gold medals were Oshawa’s Matthew Hughes in the 3000m steeplechase, Brooklin’s Emily Batty in mountain bike, Whit- by’s Kelita Zupancic in judo, Picker- ing’s John Moonlight and Ajax’s Sara Kaljuvee in rugby 7s and Pickering’s Braxton Stone-Papadopoulos in wrestling. In addition, Cannington’s Jessica Phoenix won a silver and bronze in equestrian, Port Perry’s Waylon Roberts a bronze in eques- trian, Pickering’s Nikkita Holder a bronze in the 100m hurdles, and Pickering’s Taylor Sharpe a bronze in the 4x400m relay. Other local athletes who com- peted included Pickering’s Brayden Schnur (tennis). Whitby’s Kailah Macri (roller figure skating), Kailen Sheridan (soccer), Jonah and Zach- ary Burt (judo), and Brenda Bowskill (sailing).

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland 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 l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP Stephenson is in a league of her own Veteran of women’s baseball team hopes Pan Ams will help grow sport Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX — As one of the elder statesmen on the Canadian women’s baseball team, Ashley Stephenson carries a lot of respon- sibility. She’s been with the team since its inception in 2004, so her veteran experi- ence is a welcomed addition to the ball club. When it comes time for an historical perspective, her love and passion for the game of baseball go well beyond her asso- ciation with the national program. For instance, during a recent bus ride, the 32 year old took control of the DVD player, hoping to inspire her teammates with a movie. Among all of the choices of baseball flicks, she selected her own per- sonal favourite, A League of Their Own, depicting women’s professional baseball. “We met in Quebec for a pre-tourna- ment get together. I asked one of the coaches to drive me to the store and I bought the movie so we could watch it on the bus. I thought it was kind of fitting to get people pumped up,” she said. The relevance was simple. With base- ball being included in the Pan Am Games for the first time, it was a sign of how far the sport has come. It also gave some of the younger players a glimpse of what one day could be a reality. To get there, Stephenson, a Mississauga resident who teaches high school in Burl- ington, realizes there is a long way to go to reach that level. But steps are being made. “That would be unbelievable if we could fill parks and get paid to play this game,” she said. “Lots of us have other jobs and we’re loving what we’re doing right now. If (women’s pro baseball) happens in 20, 30, 40 years, that would be fantastic.” Stephenson has played in six IBAF World Cups for Canada, medalling in four of them. The growth of the game and level of play since she joined the team 11 years ago has amazed her. “Looking at the progression of the team is unbelievable,” she said. “The wealth of players is coming. The talent. We have two 17 year olds. One put one out of the park in batting practice. The talent is growing, especially in the young players. It’s the biggest thing I’ve seen in the last three to five years.” Team Canada manager Andre Lachance said that 10 years ago, if somebody told him women’s baseball would be part of the Pan Am Games one day, he would have laughed at them. Having accom- plished that now, it’s a sign that women’s baseball is gaining acceptance. “Every time we talk about women’s baseball, every time you see wom- en’s baseball for the first time, like you (media) guys, you are amazed by the level of competition they can put on the field,” he said. The game is growing globally. United States team manager Jonathan Pollard said that showcasing the sport at the Pan Am Games was bigger than just who won the gold medal. “It’s beyond USA baseball. It’s wom- en’s baseball as a whole that the entire world needs to respect this and come see it and support it,” he said shortly after his team beat Canada 11-3 in the gold-medal game. “Give it a chance and you will see how great of baseball these women are capable of playing.” Looking ahead, even for a pioneer like Stephenson, the future is unpredictable, but bright. The Canadian team that took the field at the Pan Am Games in Ajax was on a mission to help grow the game. The next step she would like to see is inclu- sion in the 2020 Olympic Games. “Our goal was filling the stands. Hope- fully young girls see it and fall in love with the sport like we love the sport and it continues to grow,” she said. “Hockey had to break out the same way when it got included into the Olympics. We’re hop- ing this brings some attention to our sport and continues to help it grow.” AJAX -- Ashley Stephenson unleased a throw to first base during Canada’s gold medal game against the United States in women’s baseball at the Pan Am Games. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Young runner says feeling is ‘surreal’ Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Winning a medal, and then actually taking to the podium and having it draped around her neck provided two dis- tinct emotions for Taylor Sharpe. The Pickering runner came away from the Pan Am Games with a bronze medal as a result of Canada’s third-place finish in the women’s 4x400m relay held at the track at York University on Saturday, July 25. The emotion of earning the medal dif- fered significantly from the one of having it in her possession. “It was surreal,” she said of the feeling just after the race. “It’s still a blur to me still. It was pretty emotional. Even though I knew we could get a medal, actually doing it was a completely different feeling than just imagining it or hoping for it.” The 18 year old ran the second leg of the race for Canada, which set a personal best time of 3:27.74 in the medal round, just edged out for silver by Jamaica, while the United States ran away with the gold. When the medal ceremony was held, in front of large pro-Canadian crowd, a feel- ing of satisfaction came over Sharpe. “That’s when it finally hit me,” she said. “When I finally had the medal around my neck and standing up on the podium with my team. It was like, ‘Wow, we really did this.’ “And all the people that were there to support us. It was a good feeling, It was rewarding.” Canada qualified for the final after finish- ing third in its semifinal heat, which served as a preview to the final, with the US finish- ing first and Jamaica second. That order of finish was the same for the final. “It was definitely a relief,” said Sharpe of posting a time of 3:30.61 in the semi that was good enough to advance. “I knew it was going to be hard because we had Jamaica and the US in our heat, so it was like a preview of the final.” Sharpe was motivated and on a mission for the relay. Just a couple of days earlier, July 23, she competed individually in the 400m, but didn’t qualify for one of the eight spots in the starting block for the final. Her time of 53.82 left her just outside the top eight who advanced. She was disappointed, feeling she got caught up in all of the hype that goes along with running at a major international com- petition. When it was time for the relay, she was a different runner, drawing on that lone experience from a few days earlier. “When relay came I had already run a 400 on the track. I felt confident and knew I had a team behind me and I had a lot more fun. I was a lot more comfortable,” she said. Sharpe, a St. Mary graduate, is a prod- uct of the Pickering-based Speed Acade- my, where her dad, Tony, a former Olym- pic medallist in the 100m relay, and mom, Colene, operate the club and serve as coaches. Once the summer season is over, Sharpe will return to George Mason University in Virginia for her sophomore year, where she is on scholarship with twin sister Sommer.

The US delivered when it counted, aided by three big innings, and won the first-ever gold for the sport at the Pan Am Games with an 11-3 victory at the President’s Choice Ajax Pan Am Ballpark on Sunday, July 26. The States jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, and when it got close in the fourth with Canada clawing back to make it 5-3, a key hit in the fifth extended the lead to 8-3. Three more runs tacked on in the sixth by the US accounted for the blowout. “Especially with the US, you cannot make any mistakes and to their credit they played their game today,” said Canada manager Andre Lachance after the game. “Every time they had runners in scoring position they scored a runner which we failed to do today.” All told, Canada left 13 runners on base, while the US left just six. The gold-medal victory was an historic one, as it marked the first time that women’s baseball has been included in the Pan Am Games. The sport of baseball is not part of the Olympic program, but it is trying to get re-instated for 2020. Venezuela, who Canada defeated 6-1 the previous night, won bronze. 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 l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 18 AP Call: 1-866-496-4031 Visit: triOSdurham.com Campus: 200 John St. W.
