The track and field training program moved to the newly-installed indoor track last month, the newest feature of the impressive facility. “We’re really happy to provide first- class facilities to the community that meet their needs,” said Pickering direc- tor of culture and recreation Marisa Car- pino. The 125-metre long, four-lane track is the only indoor track in the Great- er Toronto Area that allows runners to sprint a full 100 metres indoors. The track’s surface was increased from nine to 13 millimeters to reduce the risk of runners developing shin-splints. “Access to indoor training facilities is a major challenge for track athletes in the Durham Region,” said Tony Sharpe, head coach of The Speed Academy. “We are thrilled and grateful that the Pickering Soccer Club and the City of Pickering have given us the option to train in our local community. This multi-sport facili- ty concept will certainly help with getting the community engaged in more physi- cal activity.” The four lanes are marked for Interna- tional Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) specification 110-metre men’s and 100-metre women’s hurdles. “We’re one of the few places you can go inside and run over 12 hurdles,” said Cliff Schmidt, PSC facility manager. “It’s a big plus having that.” The City owns the Soccer Centre and the Soccer Club manages it. The Soccer Centre, an $8.7-million project, opened its doors in November 2014. The City’s costs were funded by development charges, but PSC is respon- sible to pay back 52.25 per cent of the City’s project costs within 15 years. “It was a mutually beneficial idea in concept and we were thrilled the have the Speed Academy interested in the facility,” said Ms. Carpino. The centre boasts an 8,300 square metre soccer pitch under an air-support- ed dome and a large clubhouse. “We also have shadow free lighting,” sad Mr. Schmidt. But the Soccer Centre’s business plan included a multi-facility concept, accom- modating other sports such as ultimate frisbee and track, which was a feature that enticed the City to buy into the proj- ect initially. The diverse sports available at the Pickering facility keeps athletes in the municipality. “If you don’t have it here in Pickering, Pickering athletes have to go somewhere else,” said Ms. Carpino. “That money is going somewhere else.” She added if athletes have to travel elsewhere to train, there’s a risk of los- ing them to other communities that have more resources. Elite Canadian track and field athletes have already used the new track, includ- ing sprint sensation Andre DeGrasse and Olympic 100-metre hurdle finalist Phyli- cia George. While memberships are available to track clubs, the track is available to the public for $5 per visit during operating hours.

(DQ Plaza) NewclientsReceive10%dISCOuNTOFF* Bowmanville Zoo owner Michael Hackenberger will present ‘vigorous defence’: lawyer Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The animal cruelty case against Michael Hack- enberger, the controversial owner of the Bowmanville Zoo, has been adjourned until early June. Mr. Hackenberger didn’t attend a brief hearing at the pro- vincial offences courthouse in Whitby Tuesday morning; lawyer David Elmaleh appeared on his behalf. “We’re going to mount a vigorous defence,” Mr. Elmaleh said outside court. He declined further comment except to say he’ll be examining disclosure of Crown evidence prior to the next court date. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals laid five charges against Mr. Hackenberger April 12. The charges came months after the release of a video that showed Mr. Hackenberger repeatedly lashing a whip as he worked with a large Siberian tiger. The OSPCA alleges Mr. Hackenberger repeatedly struck the tiger with the whip. In a video rebuttal posted online after the video was made public, Mr. Hackenberger said he could be accused of viciously whipping the ground or the air, but not the tiger. He said he hit the animal three times, once in the paw when it was reaching to claw another trainer. A handful of demonstrators, some toting signs that read “Maximum penalty for Hackenberger” were present outside the courthouse prior to the hearing. Also in attendance was Carly Ferguson, president of Ontario Captive Animal Watch, a group that lobbies for stronger animal protection legisla- tion. “Finally the day has come,” said Ms. Ferguson. “We’ve been opposing this zoo for quite some time now.” Ms. Ferguson said her group opposes training methods employed by Mr. Hackenberger, an accomplished animal handler whose credits include working on Hollywood films. “To get his animals to do what you want, you have to instill fear in them,” she said. The five charges of animal cruelty under the Ontario Soci- ety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act are: causing an animal to be in distress by striking the animal with a whip handle; causing an animal distress by repeatedly striking the animal with a whip; causing an animal to be in distress by striking the animal in the face with a whip; causing an animal distress by pushing his thumb into the animal’s eye: and fail- ing to comply with the prescribed standards of care for such an animal. Durham zoo animal cruelty case adjourned until June Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland WHITBY -- A group of protesters stood in front of the Durham Region Headquarters as the former director of the Bowmanville Zoo, Michael Hackenberger, was scheduled to be in court to face five animal cruelty charges. The case has been adjourned until June 6. 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 • Ap r i l 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP LIVE WELL... STAY WELL...

On Thursday, April 14, North Division officers responded to a single-vehicle accident at a cemetery in Brock Town- ship at about 10:30 a.m. A driver had fled on foot, leaving a passenger in the car. A 28-year-old man from Utopia, Ontario was later arrested and charged with numerous offences, including impaired operation, failing to remain and possession of canna- bis. At about 11 p.m., West Division offi- cers were called to a collision at Raven- scroft and Rossland roads in Ajax.

At 11:06 p.m., officers responded to Finch Avenue and Liverpool Road for a two-vehicle collision.

At about 5 p.m., officers in Central East Division were called to King Street East and Harmony Road after a witness observed the car in front of him driving erratically. While waiting to turn at the intersection, the sus- pect driver appeared to fall asleep at the wheel. A 50-year-old man from Pickering was charged with failing to provide a breath sample.

Whitby man faces robbery, firearm and weapons charges DURHAM -- Police have charged a Whitby man with a string of brazen robberies that included heists from banks in Toronto, Markham and Cobourg. The suspect, whose arrest was announced by Toronto police April 14, is also believed to be the man who fired shots at a Belleville high school March 10 to create a diversion, then robbed a bank in the city, cops said. It’s alleged that between Feb. 11 and 26 the suspect robbed three banks in Toron- to, as well as the Scotiabank in Cobourg’s Northumberland Mall on Feb. 25. He’s also accused of robbing a Markham bank March 4 and a currency exchange outlet in Burlington April 4. A gun was present in all the robberies and in some instances the suspect wore a wig, police said. An arrest was made Wednesday, April 13 after a joint investigation involving several police services. Zak Bayfield, 40, of Whitby, faces charg- es including robbery with a firearm and weapons offences. Durham man charged with string of armed robberies Submitted photo TORONTO -- Police released a photo of a suspect in connection with bank robberies in Toronto, Cobourg, Markham and Belleville. Police have charged a Whitby man. Too early for numbers to indicate a trend: Durham deputy chief Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham police are keeping an eye on numbers that indicate crime sta- tistics were on the rise in the first quarter of 2016. After holding steady and even declining over the past five years, reported incidents including violent crimes increased during the first three months of the year, as did property offences, members of the police services board learned this week. But it’s too early to declare the numbers indicative of an enduring trend, according to Deputy Chief Chris Fernandes. “We don’t look at it as trending upward -- it’s only the first quarter,” he said. Violent crime was up nine per cent in the first three months of 2016 compared to the same quarter last year, according to the stats. Leading those increases were a 12 per cent rise in reported assaults, sex offences increasing by 26 per cent, and a 56 per cent hike in the number of criminal harassment incidents reported. Property crimes continued a rising trend detected last year, with fraud leading the way -- up 43 per cent over Q1 in 2016 -- while thefts from vehicles were up 56 per cent. The numbers may be indicative of more people taking time to call cops when they’ve been targeted for what they may have previously considered minor inci- dents unworthy of reporting, Deputy Chief Fernandes said. That’s a good thing, because it helps police identify crime patterns and adjust their methods accordingly, he said. “More reporting is what we’re asking citi- zens to do,” said Deputy Chief Fernandes. A prime example is the hike in frauds, fuelled in part by the prevalence of phone scams that target victims with threats of prosecution by organizations like the Canada Revenue Agency. Even if people don’t fall victim to the scams, it’s impor- tant they’re reported; even if an arrest isn’t forthcoming, police can warn residents about the presence of the fraud, the deputy chief said. “We want people to report that,” he said. One bright spot in the stats? Charges against drivers using hand-held devices were down 70 per cent in the first quarter. Deputy Chief Fernandes attributed that number to increased traffic enforcement and heftier fines imposed by the Province. Durham police statsshow violent crimeon the rise in 2016 Durham Regional Police Deputy Chief Chris Fernandes Participants eligible for bursary toward tuition for cooking programs at Centre for Food Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- When it comes to variations on a classic dish, the sky’s the limit for a chef. Aspiring culinary students got their first taste of what it’s like to wow the public with their take on a traditional favourite during the Epic Mac n’ Cheese Festival. Eight teams of Grade 11 and 12 students competed in the second annual event at Durham College’s Centre for Food in Whitby on April 9. Shandelle Landgraff and Sarah Corre- ia, Grade 12 students at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Oshawa, explained how their team came up with the “Triple Smoked Bruchetta Mac n’ Cheese,” featuring ingredients such as Montreal smoked meat, bacon, Romano cheese, mozzarella, tomatoes, and roasted red peppers. “My dad’s from Montreal so it’s a taste of home for him and it’s a really nice and tender meat,” said Shandelle, 17, adding that she and Sarah also wanted to some- how incorporate bruschetta into their cre- ation. “It’s something that we both love to eat.” Many students who took part in the festi- val are considering careers in the culinary sector and were grateful for the opportu- nity to try out the college’s state-of-the-art facilities. “It has a very spacious kitchen,” said Demar Bailey from J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax, who hopes to one day become an executive chef. “It helps you make up your mind about continuing in a career in the culinary arts.” Samples of each team’s recipe were pro- vided to visitors, who then voted for their favourite. First-place honours went to Savannah Lowe and Natalie Young of J. Clarke. The winning teams received cook- ing equipment, cookbooks and other priz- es. All 16 participants are eligible to apply for a bursary towards tuition for a culi- nary, hospitality or special events pro- gram at Durham College. Chef Peter Lee, program co-ordinator of the culinary management program at the Centre for Food, said the event allows the students to show off their skills while also building the college’s profile in the com- munity. “We work closely with high school culi- nary teachers and it’s a community event ... mac n’ cheese is everyone’s favourite comfort food but we use local cheeses and nicer ingredients to jazz it up,” he said. “The whole purpose of this is to promote cooking and to promote our programs as well.” 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 • Ap r i l 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 12 AP See dealer for full warranty details $3199.99 • Smart Speed® Trim/Tow/Mow ground speed ranges for optimal performance • Automatic Parking Brake - making operation simple • Heavy-duty engine guard, front axle and 10-gauge frame TIMECUTTER®SSSERIES See dealer for full warranty details $419.99 • Features "Quick Wash" washout port • Powerful Engines • Superior mulching performance RECYCLER OWN THE BEST ON THE BLOCK Pickering Mower 1053 Brock Rd, Pickering, ONTARIO 9054262645 info@pickeringmower.com www.toro.ca Eat In • Take Out Catering Fully Licensed Buffet Daily at Lunch and Sundays 5pm - 9pm www.themounteverest.ca Take-out orders of$20 or more beforetax, when payingwithCASH!R e C e i v e 10%O F F 611 Kingston Rd.

The event showcased the work of 16 high school seniors in culinary classes who were required to create a mac-and- cheese recipe from a selection of available ingredients including smoked mozzarella, goat cheese, bacon, sausage, Montreal smoked meat, shrimp and crab. The winner, chosen by attendees in a taste test, won a bursary towards post-secondary educa- tion.

It became known as ‘The Judgment of Paris’ and for- ever changed the way the world looked at California wine. The year was 1976 and a competition where top French wine judges compared some of the finest wine from France along with some California entries. Shock waves were felt worldwide when the top wines were those of California -- Chateau Mon- telena Chardonnay and Stag’s Leap Caber- net Sauvignon beating the best of Bordeaux. Things have not been the same since and California has continued to excel in the making of some fine (and high-priced) wine, along with a great deal of excellent, very reasonably priced contributions. I got a chance to try excellent California wine at the annual California Wine Fair, which was held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. I limited my tasting to red wine for the purpose of this column. I was saddened that my favourite winery -- Fess Parker -- was missing along with its excellent Rodney’s Vineyard Syrah but there were many outstanding exhibits. There were the usual entries of some superb Cabernets, such as the Beringer Pri- vate Reserve (Vintages # 149955), an out- standing wine of pure quality but with an equally high $133.25 price tag or the even more expensive Far Niente Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Vintages #539098) at a whop- ping $218.95. While the above products are indeed exceptional, there were many affordable products with a great price-per-quality ratio. If you like Zinfandel (and I’m not talking about the soda pop sweet ‘Blush’ here), the Sebastiani Vineyards Sonoma County Zin- fandel (Vintages #672667, $19.95) has a very affordable mouthful of cherry, plum, rasp- berry and smoked meats on both the nose and palate. The Clos du Bois Cabernet Sau- vignon (LCBO #308304, $15.95) has black fruit, vanilla/wood spice on nose and pal- ate and would be an excellent grilled meat wine. Great value of the fair was a Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon (Vintages #232371, $29.95) which is highlighted with sumptuous black fruit and cedar wood fla- vours and a marvelous finish making it an ideal special occasion steak wine. Two wines that I enjoyed but unfortunate- ly are not on the LCBO listing were Lucas and Lewellen Vineyards’ Cabernet (avail- able at Wildfire Steakhouse) and Lockwood Monteray Pinot Noir. Shame! Notable appearances also came from Cline, Francis Ford Coppola, J. Lohr and Long Meadow Ranch. California’s white wine will be featured in the next column. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

Inside-Out BLTs -- Yields 12 bites 8 strips premium bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/8-inch strips 8 firm Roma tomatoes or green (unripe) tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices 1 cup flour, 3 eggs, beaten, 2 cups bread crumbs or panko, 3 or more tablespoons olive oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper 1 4-ounce log goat cheese, approximately 11/2 inches in diameter, sliced 1/8-inch- thick, 24 arugula leaves, lower stems dis- carded Cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel. Select the 24 most uniform tomato slic- es and save the rest for tomorrow’s lunch. Dredge slices in flour, then in eggs, then pat down in bread crumbs. Reserve on plates, but do not stack. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 3 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add as many breaded tomato slices as the pan can hold without them touching. Fry for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until browned and crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Add more oil if nec- essary for subsequent batches. To assemble, line up 12 fried tomato slic- es. Season with salt and pepper, then top each with 1 cheese slice, a mound of bacon shrapnel and 2 arugula leaves. Cover with a second fried tomato slice. Secure with a toothpick. Let cool for a minute before serv- ing.
