Harper receives
warm
welcome
in Newcastle
PM talks about
economy and security
policy in federal
election campaign stop
Jennifer O’Meara
jomeara@durhamregion.com
CLARINGTON -- Surrounded by apple
trees and blue balloons, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper rallied party faithful at
Algoma Orchards on Wednesday, Aug.
26 and threw his support behind new
Conservative candidate Adam Moulton.
“I am really impressed by the cali-
bre of the Conservative candidates that
are stepping up to the plate to repre-
sent their fellow Canadians. They are
thoughtful, they’re energetic, they’re
committed to the principles we share.
And they’re ready to work to make sure
this country stays strong and stays safe,”
said Mr. Harper. “Adam, every-
body, is all of those things.
He’s a community volun-
teer. He’s a hunter and out-
doors man. So you know
he’s never going to help
the NDP and Liberals bring
back the long gun registry.”
The new riding boundar-
ies come into play for this fed-
eral election. For the first time the
east portion of Clarington, including
Newcastle, Orono and Newtonville will
be part of the Northumberland-Peter-
borough South riding.
Mr. Moulton told the crowd he would
continue the tradition of principled
Conservative leadership for the region.
He pointed to Durham MP Erin O’Toole,
Minister of Veterans Affairs, and retired
Conservative MP Rick Norlock as good
examples. Both men were in the audi-
ence to welcome the Prime Minister to
Clarington.
“It’s a new part of the riding here. We
wanted to make sure we had the oppor-
tunity to reach out,” said Mr. Moulton
about why he invited the Prime Minister
to the Newcastle orchard.
The Prime Minister highlighted his
government’s economic and defence
policy at the local rally.
He said the Canadian govern-
ment can’t control the price
of oil or financial misman-
agement in other countries
but has stuck to its econom-
ic action plan. He touted the
Conservatives’ job creation
record and investment in infra-
structure.
“We have by far the lowest debt bur-
den in the G7 and years ahead of other
developed countries we have a balanced
budget,” said Mr. Harper.
He added that due to Conservative
policies, the average Canadian family
has $6,500 additional dollars in their
pockets.
Mr. Harper spoke about supporting the
military and protecting Canadians from
criminals locally and abroad. He high-
lighted his government’s decision to
send soldiers to battle ISIS.
The Newcastle stop was part of a whirl-
wind campaign tour that has taken the
Prime Minister across the country in
advance of the Oct. 19 federal election.
The Conservative leader is facing off
against Liberal leader Justin Trudeau
and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair.
“Let Thomas Mulcair and Justin
Trudeau explain, how exactly -- what
combination of deficits and taxes -- how
exactly they are going to conjure tens
of billions out of thin air to fund their
spending promises,” said Mr. Harper.
“We Conservatives will continue with
our proven record of balanced budgets,
lower taxes and sound financial and
economic management.”
Mr. Harper repeated the common
Conservative refrain that Mr. Trudeau is
“just not ready” to lead the country and
said Mr. Mulcair’s high-tax, high-spend
ideology would hurt the economy.
He urged supporters to “go out and
paint Northumberland-Peterborough
South Conservative blue.”
CLARINGTON -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered remarks at Algoma
Orchards in Newcastle at a campaign stop to support Adam Moulton, Conservative
candidate in Northumberland-Peterborough South on Aug. 26.

Cats rescued from hoarding situation
await new homes
in Pickering
Purebred ragdoll, Himalayan
cats taken out of deplorable
conditions; four now in Pickering
awaiting adoption
PICKERING -- Four of the more than 60 ragdoll and
Himalayan cats rescued from a small apartment in
Toronto last month are now in the care of Pickering Ani-
mal Services and looking for new homes.
Initially rescued by Toronto Animal Services, the cats
were found in deplorable conditions, resulting in skin
lesions, rotting and broken teeth, and upper respirato-
ry, eye and ear infections. After thorough assessments
and veterinary care, the cats are ready for new homes,
and Pickering Animal Services is calling on the public to
help.
“We’re thrilled to help Toronto Animal Services find
loving homes for these cats who so badly need and
deserve the care and attention,” said Lindsey Narraway,
supervisor of Animal Services.
Hagrid is a 10-year-old male who has had most of his
body shaved and has received dental surgery. He’s very
friendly, loves attention and is looking for a quiet home.
Hermione is a two-year-old female who is shy but
affectionate. Hermione and Hagrid became bonded in
their previous living situation and should go to a home
together.
Henry is a three-year-old male who is shaved. He’s shy
and requires a quiet home.
Humbug is a six-year-old shaved female who is very
sweet and loves to be fussed over. She’s easygoing and
loves to be around people.
All four cats are ragdolls, and are spayed or neutered,
microchipped and vaccinated. The adoption fee is $100.

Auto union calls
GM Canada
Oshawa Equinox
production
boost a ‘stability
announcement’
Production line that
was scheduled to shut
down in 2016 gets a
year’s reprieve
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Local autoworkers say the
news that General Motors is extending
Oshawa’s consolidated line into 2017 is a
“stability announcement”.
Last week, General Motors Canada
announced it was investing $12 mil-
lion to ramp up Equinox production on
the consolidated line and in Ingersoll’s
CAMI Assembly plant. That means the
consolidated line, which was scheduled
to close in 2016, will keep operating into
2017.
Ron Svajlenko, president of Unifor
Local 222, which represents Oshawa
plant workers, said a handful of new
workers may be hired at Oshawa’s GM
plant and manpower may be shifted, but
the union sees it as a stability announce-
ment.
“We’re in a position where we’re look-
ing for product from General Motors and
it’s certainly easier to make that pitch
from a plant that’s producing something,
so it’s good for us,” he said of the news.
The increased Equinox produc-
tion doesn’t affect workers who have
taken retirement packages after it was
announced Camaro production in
Oshawa would end in November.
“For the most part this will provide sta-
bility for the people who are currently
working at the plant.”
GM has a shuttle program between
Oshawa and the CAMI plant which
allows it to ramp up production. Under
the program, the CAMI plant’s body shop
produces extra Chevrolet Equinox vehi-
cles beyond the plant’s capacity. Those
vehicles are shipped to Oshawa for paint-
ing and final assembly.
“This new investment represents a
very effective way for us to meet strong
demand for the Chevrolet Equinox and
it’s positive news for our communi-
ty,” said General Motors Canada presi-
dent and managing director Steve Carl-
isle. “We are focused on delivering great
products for our customers.”
Oshawa’s GM plant currently produc-
es the Equinox and previous generation
Chevrolet Impala on its consolidated
line. The Buick Regal, new model Impala,
Chevrolet Camaro and Cadillac XTS are
produced on the flex line.

Mint brownie
cheesecake doughnut
one of four in the
running for $10,000
prize in Tim Hortons
contest
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- To make the perfect dough-
nut, an Oshawa woman combined three
of her favourite baked treats and she’s
hoping that Canadians will embrace her
flavour combination of brownie, cheese-
cake and chocolate mint truffle.
Corrie Repko is one of four finalists
in Tim Hortons Duelling Donuts con-
test and she’s hoping her mint brown-
ie cheesecake doughnut will garner
enough votes from Canadians to land
her creation in stores and win her a
$10,000 prize.
She explains that the theme for this
year’s contest was family recipes.
“I thought I would do a triple threat
and do it based on three recipes,” she
explains.
Her doughnut is a chocolate yeast-
based treat filled with cheesecake. It’s
covered in mint icing, drizzled with choc-
olate and topped off with brownie crum-
ble. The brownie and cheesecake aspects
come from two of the avid baker’s favou-
rite recipes.
“My love for baking with mint came
from Girl Guide cookies; my daugh-
ter was a Brownie,” she explains, adding
sometimes her daughter would have left-
over mint cookies and she would incor-
porate them into recipes.
This is the third year for the contest and
the second time Ms. Repko has entered.
Last time she had two doughnuts in the
top 20 but this time she made the top
eight and pitched her doughnut to celeb-
rity judges Jann Arden, the DJ deadmau5,
and Sophie Tweed-Simmons, who moved
her on to the top four.
“I just decided when I walk in there
I’m not going in there with a PowerPoint
presentation, I’m just going to tell my
story and hopefully my passion comes
through,” Ms. Repko said.
Until Aug. 31 Canadians can log on to
www.duellingdonuts.ca and vote for
Ms. Repko’s doughnut. She’s competing
against a banana bread-themed dough-
nut, a key lime cheesecake doughnut and
a maple French toast-themed doughnut.
The two treats with the most votes will hit
stores in the spring, with the doughnut
that sells best winning it all for its creator.
Ms. Repko is hoping for the best and
said her doughnut highlights the passion
for baking she’s had her whole life.
“I take it seriously, this is something I’ve
always enjoyed doing. I didn’t just throw
a doughnut together, I really thought
about the flavour combination.”

Durham teen raising awareness
through Racing
with Autism tour
Austin Riley finds his niche
on the racetracks
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
UXBRIDGE -- Simple things such as tying shoelaces may be
a challenge for Uxbridge’s Austin Riley, but behind the wheel
of a go-kart, at speeds of nearly 160 km/h, all those challenges
disappear.
The boy, 15, who recently placed third in his class at the
Canadian karting championships, has been diagnosed with
autism but hasn’t let it stop him from succeeding on the track.
“He’s a different kid than he was eight years ago when he
started racing,” said Austin’s father Jason Riley. “The meta-
morphosis is amazing, I don’t know what we would do with-
out racing.”
Austin’s devotion to the sport, not to mention his success,
inspired the idea for the Racing With Autism tour. During a
race in Alberta Mr. Riley was amazed at how many people
were shocked to learn that Austin has autism yet is still able to
race so well. Seeing the awareness Austin raised just by being
there, he was struck with the impact it would have if Austin
raced at more new tracks rather than his usual haunts.
“It definitely exceeded my expectations,” Mr. Riley said of
the ensuing tour, which saw Austin travel through the U.S. last
year, racing at tracks in Florida, New Orleans and more.
Along the way the group, which included Austin, his father,
assistant Jess Benge and Austin’s mechanic Curtis Fox, gave
presentations at schools to share Austin’s story.
“I didn’t know at the time if these kids would be able to
relate,” Mr. Riley said, noting he was caught off guard after the
first presentation when the audience virtually stormed the
stage when invited to meet Austin.
“The majority of kids, whether they have autism or not,
sometimes feel the way Austin does all the time, uncomfort-
able in his surroundings, maybe like you’re not the coolest or
you get picked on, so they take solace in what Austin has been
able to accomplish despite his disability and all his struggles
in school.”
For Mr. Riley, the main message is just to follow your
dreams, focus on your abilities and go after whatever it is you
want.
“If Austin, with all the challenges he faces every day, can go
out and compete against the best racers who don’t have any
disability, then it should be easy for anyone to follow their
dreams,” he said. “Don’t accept whatever’s given to you, if you
want something get out there and work hard to do it.”
For Ms. Benge, who traveled from her native Australia to
join the team as part of a year-long scholarship, Austin’s suc-
cess is an inspiration.
“I was in tears when he finished third at the nationals, I was
just shaking the whole time, and not 30 minutes later he said
‘Jess, can you tie my shoelace up?’” she recalls, marvelling at
the change she sees when Austin gets behind the wheel.
“I’ve worked with hundreds and hundreds of kids with
autism in my career and there are no words to describe it, I
don’t think we’ll ever understand how it works and how he’s
able to do what he does. I remember once he looked at me
before getting in the kart and said ‘Jess, this is what I’m meant
to do.’ I believe the tour has changed his life in that way.”
Indeed, Austin, who is not normally a big talker, surprised
them all towards the end of the tour when he said he wanted
to say something during a school presentation, then proceed-
ed to give a short speech to the crowd at the end.
“That was a huge step for him,” Ms. Benge said, noting it’s
just many of the positives that came out of the tour, spurring
the group to start planning a second leg of the tour to travel
through Australia. It is tentatively planned to kick off in March
2016.
“He’s made so many people aware of autism and what it is
and what it does, that not only helps Austin but every person
who’s meeting him,” Ms. Benge said. “After what we saw in
the North American tour we can’t stop, we have to keep going
because it’s too good to stop.”
For Mr. Riley, Austin’s progress is a continuous marvel. He
recalls his skepticism when Austin entered the DD2 racing
class, fearing that his son wouldn’t be able to handle the pre-
cision needed to race at such high speeds. He was amazed
when Austin first got behind the wheel.
“The other drivers look like they’re driving as fast as they
can, but Austin always looks relaxed,” he said. “I asked him
once why he looked so comfortable in it and he said ‘this is
the first go-kart that’s actually moving as fast my mind is.’ So
when he’s driving at the go-kart, that’s normal speed for him.”

Completion of Hwy.
401 pedestrian bridge
in Pickering delayed
Metrolinx says technical
issues, harsh winter delayed
elevator completion
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Four-and-a-half years after it started to go
up, no one can say when work on the pedestrian bridge
spanning Hwy. 401 in Pickering will be completed.
Despite the delays, the bridge has been open since Feb-
ruary 2012, connecting the GO station with Pickering’s
office tower, the Durham College/Centennial College Joint
Learning Centre, the Pickering Town Centre, restaurants,
and a GO Transit parking deck.
“The work that still needs to be completed is the bridge
cladding and the elevators,” said Mark Ostler, a spokes-
man for Metrolinx, the government agency in charge of GO
Transit.
He added the parts of the lighting system located around
the north and south stairwells still have to be connected as
well.
Construction on the 250-metre, enclosed worm-like
bridge officially began in January 2011. Metrolinx said it’s
the first time the flowing metallic mesh cladding -- used for
esthetic purposes only -- was used on a transit project and
the new material proved tricky for builders. But as of July
2014, the problems with it were under control, and at the
time, a Metrolinx spokesman said the cladding was 90 per
cent complete and was going to be finished in late 2014.
But in a recent interview, Mr. Ostler said there is no com-
pletion date set for the cladding work.
“The incomplete work is due to the fact that the uniquely
designed project requires precision work that has resulted
in unique challenges, which we are in turn addressing with
our contractors,” said Mr. Ostler. “We do have more work to
do in terms of coming to agreement on remaining aspects
of the project.”
Plans for the bridge got off the ground when Mayor Dave
Ryan was approached in 2006 by the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation which had outgrown its space
in the former office tower north of Hwy. 401 at Liverpool
Road. The new LEED-Gold office tower was then built to
keep jobs in the city and enhance infrastructure. At the
same time, a pedestrian bridge was planned to connect
Pickering’s business hub to the GO station, to encourage
more people to use public transit, and to make Pickering a
landmark for business opportunities just outside of Toron-
to.
“So it was a very important piece of work,” said Mayor
Ryan.
He said although construction is not yet complete, the
bridge has become “an iconic fixture that represents the
current enthusiasm in our municipality and the future we
have ahead of us.”
Current Ajax resident Amy Serrano lived in walking dis-
tance of the Pickering GO station when the bridge was
built.
“I think that it’s ridiculous that it’s not finished yet, espe-
cially considering how quickly and efficiently the Ajax GO
construction was completed,” she said.
She added “it isn’t fair that accessibility isn’t a priority”
considering the elevators to the platform level are not fin-
ished yet.
There is currently elevator access at both the north and
south stairwells, but work is still underway to install two
additional elevators at platform level.
“The status of that is we expect the elevators to be com-
pleted during early winter,” said Mr. Ostler.
These elevators were supposed to be completed this
spring, but Mr. Ostler said technical issues and a harsh
winter were factors in delaying progress. Currently, people
who need to use an elevator have to take up to four eleva-
tors to get to their train.
“I’m just pleased we’re seeing the completion of the
bridge, with the elevators going down to the platform,”
Mayor Ryan said, adding construction is underway.
Pickering’s Nicole Rioux, who has multiple sclerosis and
uses a scooter, said she doesn’t feel inconvenienced that
the platform elevators have not been completed yet.
“It’s very nice, it’s very enjoyable,” she said of her experi-
ence using the bridge and GO Transit.
However, she finds getting from the mall to the bridge
“very dangerous” for people using wheelchairs or scooters.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean calls the bridge a
welcome addition to Pickering’s downtown and the future
of the City’s revitalization, but said it’s extremely disap-
pointing that it’s taking this many years to complete the
project and inconveniencing those residents who require
the elevator.
“This Provincial project has certainly dragged on and I
hope it is within their projected budget,” he said.
The total cost of the project was budgeted for $22.5 mil-
lion -- $12.5 million of which is covered by GO Transit and
the remainder by the provincial and federal governments.
Despite concerns that the delays will cause the project to
go over that amount, Mr. Ostler said the project is on bud-
get.

Hero relates
dramatic rescue
of baby after
boats collide
on Lake Scugog
Passing boaters help
pull nine people to safety
on Saturday afternoon
Chris Hall
chall@durhamregion.com
SCUGOG -- Nine people --including a
young baby -- were pulled from Lake Scu-
gog by impromptu rescuers after two boats
collided late Saturday afternoon near Cae-
sarea.
Ontario Provincial Police confirmed on
Monday that nine people were hurt in the
collision, which occurred around 5:30 p.m.
on Aug. 22. Officers are continuing to inves-
tigate the collision.
Late that afternoon, Peter Parker and his
wife, Deb Holbik, decided to take a spur-of-
the-moment boat ride and departed from
their Williams’ Point Road home in Cae-
sarea, heading towards Starr Bay. As they
passed by Washburn Island in their pon-
toon boat, Mr. Parker recalled noticing a
slower boat passing in front of him and a
second boat “really rocketing” behind their
boat.
“I figured (the faster boat) was going to
try and jump (the slower boat’s) wake, like
Seadoos do,” said Mr. Parker.
Then, “bang, they hit right in the side of it.”
The collision flipped the slower boat over
and sent the faster boat careening off, said
Mr. Parker.
“People were bobbing in the water,” he
said of the aftermath.
The Parkers went to help. Mr. Parker had
just helped pull a nine-year-old boy from
the water when he heard two elderly peo-
ple calling out, looking for a baby. When he
couldn’t immediately locate the youngster,
Mr. Parker jumped into the lake and helped
the baby’s father find the child trapped
underneath the overturned boat.
They couldn’t flip the boat over and
couldn’t see the child through the murky
water, so with the help of others they
applied weight to one side and tipped the
vessel enough for the father to reach under
and push the baby towards Mr. Parker, who
grabbed the youngster and passed her to
his wife.
The child was wearing a lifejacket, said
Mr. Parker.
He then helped others into his boat and
headed back to Caesarea, which he figured
would provide quicker access for emergen-
cy personnel than nearby Washburn Island.
Ontario Provincial Police reported Mon-
day that none of the injuries was life-threat-
ening, however the mother of one victim
says her daughter was seriously injured in
the collision.
Shonette Brown, mother of Shannen
Gulanowski, said her daughter was airlifted
to St. Mike’s on Saturday with brain trauma
and other injuries, including a broken nose,
a severed eyelid that was sewn back on, col-
lapsed lung, separated shoulder and seven
broken ribs. She also had to have surgery on
her leg with pins and plates put in.
Ms. Brown also said Ms. Gulanowski’s
own daughter, Sierra Wheeler, 15, was also
with her but escaped with just bruises and
was discharged from hospital Saturday
night.
Also nearby and ready to help when
the accident occurred on Saturday was
Judi Peshal, who was out on an afternoon
cruise with her husband and a friend. They
encountered the collision “just as it hap-
pened,” said Ms. Peshal.
One boat, estimated to be about 16 feet in
length, was overturned and another similar-
sized boat was smoking and damaged, she
recalled. Debris from the capsized vessel
floated in the water.
Ms. Peshal called 911 for help, but had
difficulty relaying her co-ordinates to dis-
patchers because of her unfamiliarity with
roadways from the water. Also confus-
ing matters was the overlapping jurisdic-
tions between Scugog and City of Kawartha
Lakes, she added.
As the rescue efforts unfolded, Ms. Peshal
recalled fearing for the worst when the baby
pulled from the lake wasn’t crying.
“It was just awful. The baby wasn’t cry-
ing at first, so I thought the worst,” said Ms.
Peshal.
Last weekend’s rescue was not the first
time Mr. Parker sprang to action when
needed.
Years ago, he helped save a young girl’s
life by administering CPR. Then, in October
2011, he helped rescue two fishermen who
had fallen into the cold Lake Scugog water.
“I just happened to be in the right place
at the right time, doing what I can to help,”
said Mr. Parker.
He did issue one request to his fellow
boaters, though.
“The lake is getting a lot of fast boats on
it,” said Mr. Parker. “People need to slow
down.”
Anyone who witnessed the collision is
asked to contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or
705-324-6741.

Washington
State produces
excellent wine
“There are presently 870 wineries in
the State of Washington,” was the state-
ment made by Chateau Ste-Michelle
wine educator Paul Asikanen, who was
part of a promotional delegation headed
by Washington State Wine Association
president Steve Warner.
Ontario, five times the size of Wash-
ington, doesn’t come close and Canada,
with 700 licensed wineries, has fewer. So
why is eastern Washington wine so pro-
lific?
The state has approximately 300 days
of sunshine per year with mean sum-
mer/winter temps of about 25 C (78 F)
and 0 C (32 F) respectively.
The mountains running north/south
parallel to the Pacific act as a barrier
thus causing a “rain shadow” effect pro-
ducing semi-arid conditions to the east,
which vastly reduces the potential for
various vine diseases.
The cold weather of the winter months
also kills many of the pests that plague
vineyards. The sandy soil found in this
area makes it difficult for a pest called
phylloxera to establish itself thus allow-
ing planting of vines on their own root
stocks rather than on phylloxera resis-
tant vines.
Finally, day and night “high and lows”
can range as high as 20 C allowing for the
production and preservation of a good
acid backbone to the wine. This,coupled
with some serious research and state-
of-the-art technology, results in some
very fine wine.
The Turf Lounge, in Toronto, was the
location of a fine Washington wine-pair-
ing dinner.
The evening started out with a fine
sparkling wine, Michelle Brut, (LCBO #
363341, $16.85) a blend of Chardonnay,
Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris made in the
same manner as traditional Champagne.
It went well with the sautéed shrimp and
junior burger hors d’oeuvres.
The double smoked salmon first
course and main course heritage salm-
on fillet found a good accompaniment
with two wines.
The Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Ries-
ling (LCBO #394759 $18.95), a 100 per
cent Riesling that I found great value
as a better-than-average Riesling, and
Mirth Chardonnay (Vintages #403386,
$17.95) with fresh varietal flavour and
clean finish.
The lamb loin with eggplant and fen-
nel was a perfect match for the Colom-
bia Crest Grand Estates Merlot (Vintag-
es #263418, $17.95). This superb wine
had depth and backbone with mounds
of developing flavours of black fruit and
chocolate. Great value.
Three red wines also were an excel-
lent match for the above lamb as well
as the risotto with mushrooms and par-
mesan. The Milbrandt Vineyards Tra-
ditions Cabernet Sauvignon (Vintages
#237784, $24.95) was plump, delicious
and decadent with oodles of black fruit
and anise. The Airfield Runway Caber-
net (Vintages #408351, $22.25) was well
structured and had excellent upfront
fruit. Nine Hats Red Wine (Vintag-
es #412221, $39.95) also produced an
interesting and savory wine with Caber-
net, Petit Verdot, Carmenere and Syrah
-- each adding its distinctiveness to a
luscious and opulent blend. Again, dec-
adency.
Finally, a Washington Hills Late Har-
vest Riesling (LCBO #394767, $18.95)
with nectarine, apricot, citrus, honey-
suckle flavours enhanced the delicious
dessert of a vanilla panacotta with berry
compote and basil.
Wow. My thanks to Washington State
Wine and Nantel and Associates for a
fine evening.

Pickering Town Centre
holds annual school
supply drive to help
local children
PICKERING -- The cost of school supplies
can add up quickly and the local mall is
doing what it can to help families send
kids off to school well prepared to learn.
Pickering Town Centre, in partnership
with the United Way of Durham, is hold-
ing its annual school supply drive for
local school children.
For the 16th consecutive year, visitors to
the mall are asked to make donations of
pencils, crayons, pencil crayons, scissors,
loose-leaf paper, lined and blank note-
books, binders, rulers, glue sticks, eras-
ers, lunch cases, calculators and back-
packs. Items can be placed in one of the
three large ‘backpack’ donation boxes
located at guest services, Entrance 2 and
Entrance 6. The bins will remain in place
until Sept. 15.
“Last year, more than $20,000 in school
supplies was collected, providing back-
to-school kits to more than 1,250 local
school children and their families,” said
Lorna Murphy, marketing director at
Pickering Town Centre. “It is so important
to help these children start the school
year off right. We hope to do even better
this year thanks to the generous support
of our shoppers, retailers and local agen-
cies.”

Ajax, Pickering
residents run down
by car after altercation
in Wasaga Beach
Police continue search
for suspects, vehicle
DURHAM -- Two Durham residents were
seriously injured in a hit-and-run that
occurred after an altercation between two
groups of young men earlier this month in
Wasaga Beach.
Huronia West OPP continue to investi-
gate the incident, which occurred at about
2:45 a.m. Aug. 8 in the popular tourist town.
Police said four men walking along Stone-
bridge Boulevard got into a confrontation
with the occupants of a passing Honda
Civic after the driver of the car made com-
ments to them.
One of the pedestrians was involved in a
“small altercation” with the driver before
the car was driven away, police said. But
the Honda soon returned; the car struck
two of the men before again speeding
away.
Two pedestrians -- an Ajax man, 24, and
a 26-year-old Pickering man -- were taken
to hospital with what police described as
serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Police continue to seek the vehicle, in
which three to four young men are believed
to have been riding.

AJAX -- Multiple charges have been laid
against a man after a driver fled from
police early Tuesday in Ajax.
A loaded handgun was seized during the
incident, which began around 1:30 a.m.
Aug. 25, Durham police said.
An officer noticed a vehicle circling the
area of Dillingham and Brock roads in
Pickering. Concerned the driver was either
lost or impaired, the officer followed the
vehicle onto Hwy. 401.
When the driver exited at Westney Road
the cop attempted a traffic stop but the
vehicle accelerated away, eventually stop-
ping at an Ajax address, police said.
A man emerged form the vehicle and
began yelling at the officer, police said. A
struggle ensued as the man was placed
under arrest.
A search of the vehi-
cle resulted in the
seizure of a loaded
handgun and a
quantity of crack
cocaine.
William

Durham
Region to
develop
strategy
for aging
population
DURHAM -- The Region of Dur-
ham has received provincial fund-
ing that will help it plan to meet the
needs of Durham’s aging popula-
tion.
The two-year grant of $50,000,
delivered in instalments, will sup-
port the development of a sustain-
able, collaborative long-term strat-
egy.
According to recent statis-
tics, around a quarter of Durham
Region residents are 55 and older
and that percentage is expected to
rise to 34 per cent by 2031.
Beginning in September, the
Region will undertake a number of
efforts to gath-
er input from
older adults,
caregivers,
community
organizations,
and Dur-
ham Region’s
eight local
area munici-
palities, in
the form of focus groups, a large
forum on age-friendly community
planning, and a municipal round-
table discussion. The initiative will
include a review of data to create
a profile of Durham’s senior popu-
lation, and the development of an
interactive map to help residents
locate local seniors’ services.
“The announcement of this pro-
vincial funding has opened the
door to more co-ordinated plan-
ning, which will help meet the
needs of Durham’s aging popula-
tion,” said Roger Anderson, Region-
al chairman and chief executive
officer. “Working together, we can
ensure Durham is a community
where seniors are valued, respected
and engaged.”

On Saturday, August 8th, Sundial
Homes hosted their third annual Summerfest
at the park in Mulberry Meadows, a master
planned community
bordering the Carruthers
Creek ravine.
“More than 700
families have moved in,”
said Elena Reid from
Sundial Homes. “We
thought it would be a great
way to give back to the
community and a good opportunity for our
new homeowners to meet their neighbours.”
Summerfest was held from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. and featured games, prizes,
a jumping castle, face painting, balloon
animals, a craft table and more. Residents
also enjoyed a BBQ lunch and ice cream.
Mulberry Meadows is nestled
in the rolling meadows and parklands
bordering Carruthers Creek
and a community pond, yet
is conveniently located close
to many of the amenities that
the Town of Ajax has to offer.
Schools are already in place,
and with the convenience
of the sports complex, the
community centre and parks,
there are endless opportunities to play.
Errands are a breeze with major shopping
centres nearby. Entertainment is always
within reach, whether it’s getting lost in a
book borrowed from the local public library,
enjoying the latest blockbuster on the big
screen, or sampling exquisite foods at one
of the many restaurants in the community.
Commuting is also easy from Mulberry
Meadows, with public transit and easy
access to Highway 401. In late 2015, the
Highway 407 expansion through Ajax and
into Oshawa is scheduled to open, along
with Highway 412 that
will connect the new 407
expansion to the 401,
which will greatly increase
commuting convenience.
With all the
amenities surrounding
the community, first-time
homebuyers, families, and
empty-nesters are all flocking to become
residents of Mulberry Meadows.
Sundial Homes has a number of
homes available, which features 30’, 36’
and 40’ single detached homes. With house
sizes up to 2,822 sq. ft., there’s a design
that’s perfect for you and your family.
Sundial Homes wants their
purchasers to have the
broadest variety of options
at their disposal to make
their new home a reflection
of their own unique tastes.
All purchasers meet with
an experienced design
consultant at Sundial’s state
of the art Design Centre, to
assist them with choosing the finishes that
will personalize their home. Pick and choose
among the wide variety of flooring options,
where rich, cherry hardwood blends with
the opulence of granite countertops. From
the subtle to the sublime, Sundial’s Design
Centre offers the right accents to make the
ordinary extraordinary.
Sundial Homes has built over 10,000
homes throughout the GTA, and celebrates
28 years of quality home building
by continuing to deliver superior
quality, first-rate dependability and
unmatched customer service in
communities of excellent quality
and lasting appeal. Sundial Homes
is known for their unbeatable prices
and outstanding quality, which is why
so many Sundial purchasers are now
living in their second or third Sundial
home.
Visit the sales office today
and see for yourself why so many
people are ready to call Mulberry
Meadows home. The Sales Centre is
located at 99 Barnham Street, south
off Rossland Road, at Heaney Gate,
between Salem Road and Audley
Road. It is open Monday to Thursday
from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday,
Sunday and holidays from 11:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., and closed Fridays. For

Brookfield Residential is
delighted to announce its plans to
build an exclusive new community in
Whitby. Now is the time to register
for this exclusive infill
community, Whitby
Central will open by
preview appointment
in September. Located
at Taunton Road and Garrard Road
the community is named after its
centralized location and proximity
to a wide range of local amenities.
This exclusive enclave of
only 48 signature homes
will be nestled within
an established family
neighbourhood.
Whitby Central offers a life
of convenience and comfort, both
inside and outside of your home.
Being located in the heart of Whitby,
you will be just a 30 minute drive
away from Toronto. Commuting will
be a breeze, as your home will be in
close proximity to Highways 401, 407
and the GO station.
The neighbourhood itself
is rich with amenities, and you
will be close to schools, grocery
stores, shopping centres, recreation
centres, public parks and a variety
of restaurants. Whitby Central will
certainly be a wonderful place to raise
a family. Living here, you will be able
to walk your children to school or
make the most of the trails and go for
a jog or bike ride. With parks, trails
and the Whitby waterfront nearby, it’s
easy to enjoy the outdoors with the
whole family.
“We are very pleased to be
building once again
in Whitby and to have
the opportunity to
bring a community
such as Whitby Central
to the marketplace,” says Marc
Thibault, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at Brookfield Residential.
“This neighbourhood is already well
established with schools,
parks, retail shopping
and recreation amenities
– all within short walking
distance and too many
other amenities to mention.”
The community will
showcase a variety of detached homes
to suit most families’ needs on 27’,
37’ and 54’ homesites starting from
the $500s. The home designs will
feature modern designed open spaces
to maximize living spaces including
gourmet kitchens, welcoming family
rooms, luxurious ensuites and
energy saving features to help reduce
monthly utility costs from the day you
move in.
The stunning homes have
been designed for functionality and
beauty. All of the homes come with a
long list of standard features, including
nine foot ceilings on the main floor,
a full oak staircase, hardwood on
the main floor, upgraded kitchen
cabinetry, granite countertops,
and a stainless steel canopy
hood fan.
Brookfield will be
hosting a VIP Preview Opening
in September for Whitby Central
and will provide Spring to Fall
2016 move-in dates for our new
homeowners. You can register

On Saturday, August 8th, Sundial
Homes hosted their third annual Summerfest
at the park in Mulberry Meadows, a master
planned community
bordering the Carruthers
Creek ravine.
“More than 700
families have moved in,”
said Elena Reid from
Sundial Homes. “We
thought it would be a great
way to give back to the
community and a good opportunity for our
new homeowners to meet their neighbours.”
Summerfest was held from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. and featured games, prizes,
a jumping castle, face painting, balloon
animals, a craft table and more. Residents
also enjoyed a BBQ lunch and ice cream.
Mulberry Meadows is nestled
in the rolling meadows and parklands
bordering Carruthers Creek
and a community pond, yet
is conveniently located close
to many of the amenities that
the Town of Ajax has to offer.
Schools are already in place,
and with the convenience
of the sports complex, the
community centre and parks,
there are endless opportunities to play.
Errands are a breeze with major shopping
centres nearby. Entertainment is always
within reach, whether it’s getting lost in a
book borrowed from the local public library,
enjoying the latest blockbuster on the big
screen, or sampling exquisite foods at one
of the many restaurants in the community.
Commuting is also easy from Mulberry
Meadows, with public transit and easy
access to Highway 401. In late 2015, the
Highway 407 expansion through Ajax and
into Oshawa is scheduled to open, along
with Highway 412 that
will connect the new 407
expansion to the 401,
which will greatly increase
commuting convenience.
With all the
amenities surrounding
the community, first-time
homebuyers, families, and
empty-nesters are all flocking to become
residents of Mulberry Meadows.
Sundial Homes has a number of
homes available, which features 30’, 36’
and 40’ single detached homes. With house
sizes up to 2,822 sq. ft., there’s a design
that’s perfect for you and your family.
Sundial Homes wants their
purchasers to have the
broadest variety of options
at their disposal to make
their new home a reflection
of their own unique tastes.
All purchasers meet with
an experienced design
consultant at Sundial’s state
of the art Design Centre, to
assist them with choosing the finishes that
will personalize their home. Pick and choose
among the wide variety of flooring options,
where rich, cherry hardwood blends with
the opulence of granite countertops. From
the subtle to the sublime, Sundial’s Design
Centre offers the right accents to make the
ordinary extraordinary.
Sundial Homes has built over 10,000
homes throughout the GTA, and celebrates
28 years of quality home building
by continuing to deliver superior
quality, first-rate dependability and
unmatched customer service in
communities of excellent quality
and lasting appeal. Sundial Homes
is known for their unbeatable prices
and outstanding quality, which is why
so many Sundial purchasers are now
living in their second or third Sundial
home.
Visit the sales office today
and see for yourself why so many
people are ready to call Mulberry
Meadows home. The Sales Centre is
located at 99 Barnham Street, south
off Rossland Road, at Heaney Gate,
between Salem Road and Audley
Road. It is open Monday to Thursday
from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday,
Sunday and holidays from 11:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., and closed Fridays. For
more information, please call (905) 427-8255 or visit www.sundialhomes.com.
Sundial Hosts 3rd Annual Summerfest at Mulberry Meadows
Brookfield Residential is
delighted to announce its plans to
build an exclusive new community in
Whitby. Now is the time to register
for this exclusive infill
community, Whitby
Central will open by
preview appointment
in September. Located
at Taunton Road and Garrard Road
the community is named after its
centralized location and proximity
to a wide range of local amenities.
This exclusive enclave of
only 48 signature homes
will be nestled within
an established family
neighbourhood.
Whitby Central offers a life
of convenience and comfort, both
inside and outside of your home.
Being located in the heart of Whitby,
you will be just a 30 minute drive
away from Toronto. Commuting will
be a breeze, as your home will be in
close proximity to Highways 401, 407
and the GO station.
The neighbourhood itself
is rich with amenities, and you
will be close to schools, grocery
stores, shopping centres, recreation
centres, public parks and a variety
of restaurants. Whitby Central will
certainly be a wonderful place to raise
a family. Living here, you will be able
to walk your children to school or
make the most of the trails and go for
a jog or bike ride. With parks, trails
and the Whitby waterfront nearby, it’s
easy to enjoy the outdoors with the
whole family.
“We are very pleased to be
building once again
in Whitby and to have
the opportunity to
bring a community
such as Whitby Central
to the marketplace,” says Marc
Thibault, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at Brookfield Residential.
“This neighbourhood is already well
established with schools,
parks, retail shopping
and recreation amenities
– all within short walking
distance and too many
other amenities to mention.”
The community will
showcase a variety of detached homes
to suit most families’ needs on 27’,
37’ and 54’ homesites starting from
the $500s. The home designs will
feature modern designed open spaces
to maximize living spaces including
gourmet kitchens, welcoming family
rooms, luxurious ensuites and
energy saving features to help reduce
monthly utility costs from the day you
move in.
The stunning homes have
been designed for functionality and
beauty. All of the homes come with a
long list of standard features, including
nine foot ceilings on the main floor,
a full oak staircase, hardwood on
the main floor, upgraded kitchen
cabinetry, granite countertops,
and a stainless steel canopy
hood fan.
Brookfield will be
hosting a VIP Preview Opening
in September for Whitby Central
and will provide Spring to Fall
2016 move-in dates for our new
homeowners. You can register
now at BrookfieldWhitby.ca for
your exclusive invitation to the
VIP Preview Opening and be

neighbourhood home.

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 50
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. For more information,
call (905) 837-9332 or visit the website at

Pickering-based
chiropractor
‘thrilled’ with
Pan Am Games
experience
Christopher Gordon-
Tennant worked as
medical practitioner,
first responder
Keith Gilligan

DURHAM -- The Pan Am and Parapan
Am Games weren’t just the thrill of a
lifetime for the athletes.
Christopher Gordon-Tennant said his
time as a medical practitioner and first
responder for the Games was just as
thrilling.
The Pickering-based chiropractor said
he volunteered because “I thought it
would be cool. It’s been a fantastic expe-
rience, the networking I’ve made with
the full team.”
He said the athletes have been an
“inspiration.”
During the Parapan Games, “I almost
teared up seeing the motivation of these
athletes. Most people would give up if
they lost two limbs and these guys are
smiling. It’s such good inspiration.”
This is the first time Mr. Gordon-Ten-
nant has volunteered for something so
big.
“Nothing of this caliber. It’s pretty
exciting.”
He was a first responder during the
opening ceremonies.
During the Pan Am Games, he worked
at weightlifting and boxing, both held
in Oshawa, baseball held in Ajax, table
tennis and golf. For the Parapan Am
Games, he was at the sitting volleyball
and wheelchair tennis competitions.
While working at the Games, he also
had to work at his practice. He did six
shifts during the Parapan Am Games
and 12 shifts during the Pan Am Games
on top of his regular work.
“It was draining, but good.”
He also made a lot of contacts and he’s
now qualified as a sports first responder.
“It’s what I aspire to. It’s my nature. I
love to volunteer my time.”
During the Pan Am Games, he worked
in a team format with doctors, nurses
and various therapists who were respon-
sible for caring for athletes.
“I had a number of positions through-
out.” Besides being ringside at boxing
he was also at field of play level or back-
stage
If an athlete had been injured, he
would assess if they needed medical
attention and then notify EMS.
“It’s a very good community feel.”
He was asked to speak about his expe-
rience to the incoming class of students
at a Canadian Memorial Chiropractic
College.
Mr. Gordon-Tennant grew up in the
Ajax and Pickering communities and
is an associate at Altona Physiotherapy
and Chiropractic.
SCARBOROUGH -- Christopher Gordon-Tennant was part of medical team working
the Pan Am and Parapan Games. He’s a chiropractor with a practice in Pickering.
He’s part of a team of first responders who helped athletes.

Small Town Lungs refreshingly unique
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Small Town Lungs made a big
city splash in Toronto recently.
The Whitby five-piece made it to the final
six of 102.1 The Edge’s Next Big Thing com-
petition. Not bad for a band that has only
played 11 live shows and has had limited
opportunities to rehearse. And, yet, Small
Town Lungs has an easy tightness some
bands struggle to achieve.
The 20-somethings (“still spry” jokes sing-
er Tom Meikle) have a unique sound that
makes labels hard to affix: indie and pro-
gressive rock are the most commonly used.
But being different isn’t part of a plan, just
what comes when five guys get together to
see what happens musically.
“I think where we draw the line is doing
things for the sake of being different,” says
Meikle. “We’re just trying to be honest with
ourselves.”
And, honestly, when the band entered
Next Big Thing, drummer Zach Cockburn
said he just hoped they would make the top
six. Almost 450 bands entered and fan vot-
ing determined one of the final six spots.
Small Town Lungs led the way throughout,
until the last day of voting, and the Whitby
band finished second.
“That was kind of disheartening,” Meikle
says.
However, judges chose the remaining five
and one of them was the Whitby outfit.
“I think it felt better for us to get picked by
the judges,” bassist Jason Brum says.
They had made the finals, held Aug. 21 at
The Phoenix Concert Theatre, where they
played before a boisterous crowd and a
10-member jury that included record com-
pany representatives. On the line was the
opportunity to open The Edge CASBY Music
awards later this year, also at The Phoenix.
And then there was the cash, $25,000, plus
$10,000 in gear from Long and McQuade
and other prizes.
In the end, the band didn’t pick up those
goodies, but noted on their Facebook page
that the experience and exposure of being
in Next Big Thing “has done more for us
already in our band’s infancy than we could
have imagined.”
When founding members Meikle and gui-
tarist Kory Ross were looking to flesh out
the band, the former says “it took about five
minutes.” All five had previously been into
metal, played in bands and knew of one
another through the Durham music scene.
Finding their own sound took a bit longer.
“It started as a rock sound,” says Ross.
“It was a lot more straight-up guitar and
drums,” says Meikle, adding, “I think we’re
all pretty open-minded. I hope it shows in
the music we make.”
“We’re trying to push something forward.
We like to insert odd time signatures and
musically complex stuff.”
The band employs effects and loops and
features nice harmonies. Indie rock? Alter-
native? Progressive? In the end, labels don’t
matter to Small Town Lungs, it’s about the
music.
After forming, they had a problem: the
band was scattered and could barely get
together for rehearsals. Still, by the end of
last summer, Brum said they had made a
decision: ‘let’s do this’. In other words, let’s
treat the band as a serious thing and see
where we can go. Guitarist Rowan Grice
says at first they weren’t looking to play live.
“We were just trying to make sure we were
ready,” he says.
The band has just released a video for its
song Scavenger.
Meikle says the plan is to avoid booking
shows past November so they can “hiber-
nate,” work on songs, in the winter. They
hope to record their first album in the early
spring and to have it out later in the year.
But before they drop out of sight for a bit,
see them at Oshawa’s Moustache Club on
Aug. 28.
And you can check them out at small-
townlungs.bandcamp.com and sound-
cloud.com/smalltownlungs.

Panthers
roster full
of local
players
GM Andrew Moore
expects 15 from Durham
Region to be in lineup
Brad Kelly

PICKERING — When the Pickering Panthers
headed into the off-season, there were a cou-
ple of priorities that the hockey club wanted
to achieve.
The first was to get a roster that had a dis-
tinct local flavour to it. The second was to
acquire some veteran players to provide
some leadership.
It would seem that a check mark can be
placed beside both objectives.
General manager Andrew Moore did what
he promised since being named to the post
near the end of last season. The Panthers
signed seven players from the Ajax-Picker-
ing Raiders midget team, and added another
four through the trade market who will help
this season.
“We’re really excited to get these kids on
board,” says Moore. “When I first came in
here I made it very apparent that we wanted
to be local. I think we’ve shown that by sign-
ing seven local players from that (Raiders)
hockey team.”
The players from the Raiders roster, who
won silver at the OMHA championships
last season, include goaltender Paul Giusti,
defencemen Kyle Gentles and Kevin Ounji-
an, along with forwards Owen Scuralli, Tiger
MacDonald, Tomas Azzano and Andrew
Hughes.
Another player with local ties is Macken-
zie Heber, a former captain of the Raiders,
who was acquired from the Lindsay Muskies.
Also added to the team through trades are
Kennedy Duguid from the Toronto Jr. Cana-
diens, Eric Verville from the Iroquois Falls
Eskies, and Marco Azzano, the older brother
of Tomas, from the Wellington Dukes.
Those four will be leaned on for some lead-
ership and to bring experience to a roster
that will include as many as nine players who
graduated from the midget ranks last season.
Verville will be expected to help anchor the
defecse.
“We had a need on defence and he was
looking for a change from up north and we
found a way to get a deal done,” says Moore
of the acquisition.
Hebert, Duguid and Azzano will comprise
the veteran core.
“We wanted to add some veteran leader-
ship for all these young hockey players that
we’ve added,” says Moore. “We tried to get
some Durham Region flavour in those deals
with Mackenzie and Marco.”
Azzano is a Clarington resident. With the
signings and trades, Moore figures the Pan-
thers will have as many as 15 players from
the Durham Region on the roster this sea-
son.
While a lineup card will be needed to
become acquainted with all of the new on-
ice product, the same could be said for the
off-ice team. Moore is in his first full season,
as is head coach Matt Carroll and his assis-
tants Chuck MacLennan and Jamie Ken-
nedy. There’s also a new trainer on staff and
play-by-play announcer for the web broad-
casts.
“I’ve been counting down the days as the
summer went on,” says Moore of the antici-
pation of the start of training camp. “I’m
extremely excited to get going.
“The Pickering Panthers are re-vamping
and we’re ready to go.”
The club will use six exhibition games to
form a roster, which is in need of one more
defenceman and two forwards, adds Moore.
All of the team’s home exhibition games and
practices will be held at the Ajax Communi-
ty Centre, with a shift to the Pickering Rec-
reation Complex coming once the season
starts. The final home exhibition game will
be on Friday, Aug. 28 when the Panthers host
the Whitby Fury on Pad 1 at the ACC at 8 p.m.
The Panthers will open the regular season
on Friday, Sept. 4 in Lindsay.

weekend in Durham
CLARINGTON — Coming off a tough
night in the hills of Tennessee last week,
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
rookie-of-the-year contender, Cameron
Hayley, is ready to set his sights on famil-
iar territory, his native Canada, and road
course racing at Canadian Tire Motors-
ports Park on Sunday, Aug. 30.
Making his truck series debut on the
10-turn, 2.459-mile road course in 2014,
Hayley qualified 10th and finished 11th,
following the 67-lap event. Since then,
the Calgary native has made 17 starts in
NASCAR’s third-tier division, amassing
three top-five and nine top-10 finishes.
He is currently sixth in the driver point
standings, and third among rookies, with
only nine races remaining on the 23-race
schedule.
The ThorSport Racing driver is looking
to capitalize on last year’s run at CTMP.
“Not only is this a track I’ve been to
before, it’s also in my home country,” he
said in a press release. “I just hope that I
will have a good run for all of my Canadian
fans.”
Making its lone Canadian appearance
of the year, the NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series is the feature attraction of the
weekend, with the Chevrolet Silverado
250 race scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The event takes place one week prior to
its traditional Labour Day weekend date
and also includes the NASCAR Canadian
Tire Series presented by Mobil 1, Ultra 94
Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by
Michelin and the Canadian touring car
championship.
Among those competing in the Cana-
dian Tire Series will be Ajax native Joey
McColm and Kevin Poitras, who both now
live in Newcastle just minutes from the
track.
“Kevin and I are almost neighbours,”
said McColm in a press release. “This is as
close as you can get to racing in your own
back yard, and we plan on making the
most of it.”
McColm is a full-time racer in the series,
and he is embroiled in a tight battle for
ninth place in the season standings enter-
ing the year’s final two events.
Poitras races part-time while dabbling in
other road racing endeavours in the Unit-
ed States.
McColm will drive the #25 Toronto
Maple Leafs entry, and Poitras will pilot
the #87 machine sponsored by TSC Stores.
“It’s a real pleasure to race in front of
friends and family this close to home,”
said Poitras. “The car has great speed, and
I think we can battle for a top-10 finish.”
Red Sox win
Toronto Baseball
Association title
Junior club beats
Newmarket for
league championship
PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox junior
baseball club won the Toronto Baseball
Association junior championship.
The Sox defeated a strong Newmarket
Hawks team 6 to 3 in the final game of the
weekend. The win capped an excellent sea-
son for the 19- and 21-year-old ball players
from Pickering and Ajax.
This is the first championship for the
Pickering Red Sox since joining the league
in 2006. In 2014, the Red Sox were finalists
in the playoffs losing in the finals to the Eto-
bicoke Rangers. The Greater Toronto-Leas-
ide Junior League produces some of the best
baseball in the province at the junior level
since the mid 1900s.
The Sox finished the regular season in sec-
ond place with a league record of 15 -7-5,
with an overall record of 27-11-5 including
tournament play. The team advanced to the
finals in the Vaughan and Brampton tourna-
ments, losing to Newmarket in the Bramp-
ton finals. Pickering bowed out early at the
Ontario eliminations in Oshawa a couple of
weeks earlier but rebounded with desire to
win the league playoffs.
The Red Sox advanced to the Final Four
weekend at historic Talbot Park by winning
a best-of-three series against seventh-place
finishers Richmond Hill Phoenix in a sweep
11-3 and 17-2. This set up the final four
weekend with High Park Braves who beat
out the North York Blues, East York Bull-
dogs who beat out Vaughan Vikings, and
Newmarket who beat out the Peterborough
Tigers.
In the Final Four weekend, a double
knockout format was used. With Friday
washed out by rain, the start was pushed to
Saturday. The heat and humidity played a
toll on all teams over the weekend.
Scores were as follows: East York beat
High Park 10 to 7; Pickering 4 vs. Newmar-
ket 2; Newmarket eliminated High Park 4 to
2; Pickering beat East York 11 to 9, advanc-
ing Pickering to the finals; Newmarket elim-
inated East York 5-4. It set up a showdown
with Newmarket, with the Hawks having to
win two straight. The Hawks forced an extra
game with an 8-7 win over the Sox. Pickering
won the deciding game and the champion-
ship 6-3.
The team members are Dan Connolly,
Dan Moy, Ilija Bozinovski, Jack Lang, Cooper
Gibbins, Kyle Conquer, Kadeev Bembridge,
Harley Whitehurst, Matt Martin, Sashank
Bhat, Andrew Boros, Nick Greenslade, Ryan
Sattz, Ajay Rampersad, David Sagat, Cole
Casford, Tommy McDonald, Tiger McDon-
ald, Jackson Topolie, Chris Zaczek, Dako-
ta Parsons and Issac Buckley-Lue. Midget
call ups for the finals were Matt Connolly,
Ryan Clarke and Dylan Rodrigues. Team
Staff consist of admin manager Judy Sagat,
manager Don Linthwaite and coaches Peter
Nash, Steven Sattz and Rob Heard.

Generals sign import draft
pick Lofquist from Sweden
OSHAWA — The Oshawa Generals have
added one of their import selections to the
roster as Lukas Lofquist has committed to
the hockey team.
Lofquist, 19, skated with the Djurgar-
dens IF J20 team last season collecting a
total of 43 points (22-21-43) and 42 penalty
minutes. The Stockholm, Sweden native
was selected 56th overall in the 2015 CHL
import draft.
“Lukas will get power play time and be
able to come in here and provide offence.
He is very comparable to Tobias Lindberg,”
says Oshawa Generals general manag-
er and vice-president, Roger Hunt. “I am
excited to have him a part of the 2015/2016
Oshawa Generals”.
Lofquist is a six-foot-two, 192 lbs. for-
ward who has represented Sweden inter-
nationally on the Swedish Under 16 team.
In addition to Djurgardens IF J20, he also
played two games on loan with Vasby IK
of Sweden’s Division 1 league, netting one
goal and four penalty minutes.
