It’s been nearly nine years since Trooper Darryl Caswell, of Bowmanville, was killed in a roadside bombing attack in Afghani- stan. “It can be tough to talk about,” said Logan, while speaking over the phone, preparing for a night where Darryl would be recog- nized at a special event to raise funds and awareness for the Highway of Heroes LAV Monument project in Clarington. Logan is a member of the committee and helped raise more than $1,700. “I’m representing my brother in a way,” he said. “I miss him a lot. I think he’d be happy about it. Happy to see I’m doing what I can. I hope he’d be proud of the whole thing.” The monument is slated to be revealed on September 24 at Clarington Fields in Bowmanville. “You will be able to see flags from Hwy. 401 and know the monument is there,” explained committee member and Con- servative Durham MP Erin O’Toole. “More important you will be able to see the High- way of Heroes from the monument.” The stretch of highway was renamed to honour Canadian soldiers killed in Afghani- stan. Residents, police officers and firefight- ers, including those in Durham, gathered on overpasses over Hwy. 401, waving flags and saluting as motorcades carrying the bodies of soldiers made their way from the repatri- ation ceremony in Trenton to the coroner’s office in Toronto. “It’s important to mark and remember this dark time. We hope that there’s never anoth- er trip down the Highway of Heroes,” said Mr. O’Toole. “The LAV monument will be a place to gather, pay respect and educate.” Trooper Caswell’s story will be told there. “I hope that people see it’s a huge deal,” said Logan. He was only 12 when his big brother, his only sibling, paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Logan is in his final year of journalism school at Durham College with a talent for photography. He will be 21 on June 11, a bit- tersweet birthday to mark. “It took a big toll on me. He passed away on my birthday,” he said. “I know he’s always there looking over me.” Logan said he and his family are grateful for the support they’ve received from the community over the years. Darryl’s name is on the cenotaph in down- town Bowmanville, he has had a street named after him (Darryl Caswell Way), he will be remembered on this new LAV mon- ument and, after almost nine years, Logan said people still go out of their way to show the Caswell family they care and remember. “I think it was three years ago on Remem- brance Day, we woke up to hundreds of lit- tle Canadian flags outside our house,” said Logan. “It’s really unbelievable. It’s out- standing really to feel the support.” “ H i s death really struck people,” said Mr. O’Toole. “I think the community wants to show we remember the sacrifice and will never for- get.” To donate through the Wounded War- riors Project, go to http://bit.ly/1sviTNy and choose Highway of Heroes Durham LAV Monument from the ‘select the fund your donation will support.’ Durham soldier honoured with Highway of Heroes monument Justin Greaves / Metroland ‘OSHAWA -- The R.S.

It’s difficult to sleep and painful to work. You’re unable to enjoy life to its fullest. One female patient said it like this… “I dread going to bed, I dread sweeping, doing dishes… any kind of household chores I dread – because of the pain.” We are Dr. Michael Gauthier and Dr. Mark Kasiban. We’ve seen hundreds of carpal tunnel sufferers leave our office pain free in the past 20 years. Many patients tell us they wished they’d found us sooner. Suffering for years was agonizing for them. We want to let you know there is real hope… You Have An Option Other Than Drugs And Surgery… One That Really Works Scientific studies have proven that chiropractic is effective in helping carpal tunnel patients be pain free. One study showed that with chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 Another research study concluded… “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 Also, an often-overlooked cause of carpal tunnel symptoms can come from nerve roots near the spine. A study in the Lancet journal showed that up to 75% of carpal tunnel patients also had a nerve problem in their neck. Dr. Susan MacKinnon, professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, said the high failure rate of surgery has caused her to rethink the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. She states even after surgery problems like neck stiffness and shoulder pain persist in patients. Could This Be Your Solution To Carpal Tunnel Pain?

Superior Court Justice Susan Wood- ley dismissed an application that would have allowed Mohinder Singh Saini to vary the terms of his bail. Mr. Saini, 72, of Lasalle, Quebec, had sought permis- sion to travel to India for 10 weeks. Justice Woodley dismissed the appli- cation after hearing submissions from lawyers in Oshawa Wednesday, June 15. A publication ban prohibits reporting on evidence and arguments heard in court. Mr. Saini was charged after an OPP investigation into a crash in the west- bound lanes of Hwy. 401 near Lake Ridge Road on Oct. 2. Police allege he failed to stop for slowed traffic, setting off a massive chain-reaction pileup that involved 21 vehicles. Pickering couple Carl and Jacque- line Laws, aged 67 and 63 respectively, and Jesus Alberto Duran-Florez, 12 and his 10-year-old brother Cuauhtemoc Duran-Florez, of Mexico, died of inju- ries sustained in the crash. Several oth- ers were injured. Mr. Saini is charged with four counts of dangerous driving causing death and 11 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. He was freed on bail fol- lowing a hearing in Oshawa last Novem- ber. Terms of his release include that he reside with his surety and that he not be in control of any vehicle. He’s also been ordered to surrender his passport. A preliminary hearing in the matter is scheduled for January 2017.

Late last year Durham police identified Yusuf Ramadan Abdullah as a suspect in the crash, which occurred Dec. 6 in Whitby after a vehicle fled from a RIDE checkpoint with a cruiser in pursuit. The speeding car ran a red light and slammed into the victim’s vehicle at Consumers Drive and Thickson Road, leav- ing her with serious injuries, police said. The suspect driver fled the scene on foot. Several days after the incident police issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Abdullah, 35, of Mississauga. Just after 10 a.m. June 15 members of the Durham police intelligence branch, working in conjunction with the offender manage- ment unit, closed in on a suspect as he drove a car on Stevenson Road in Oshawa. Mr. Abdullah was taken into custody on numer- ous charges, including flight from police causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing bodily harm; possession of stolen property and weapons possession, and three counts of breaching recognizance. He was held for a bail hearing. The Special Investiga- tions Unit became involved in the incident, as it occurred during a police pursuit. That investigation continues, Durham police said.

The new sign incorporates larger font, plain language messaging, colourful graphics and renderings when applica- ble, and a call to encourage community feedback. “As our city experiences significant economic and residential growth over the next 20 years, it is imperative that we do a better job of engaging resi- dents in the planning process to ensure we implement a common vision for Pickering,” said Tom Melymuk, director of city development. Development applicants are required to post notices on the proposed site, indicating the type of development slat- ed for the lands, and how the public can get involved. “The new notice is vibrant, informa- tive, and inviting,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “Community engagement is one of our corporate priorities, and seek- ing feedback on what speaks to the public is an important step toward building a trustful, ongoing and collab- orative relationship with our residents.” Visit www.pick- ering.ca/devapp for current develop- ment proposals or for more information.

Jeff Doucette, a minister at the Dun- barton-Fairport United Church in Pickering, summed up the feelings of many who attended a vigil in Oshawa Monday night to remember the 49 people gunned down by a madman in Orlando this past weekend. “Last night I sat at home and said what do you do,” the minister said as hun- dreds gathered to remember members of the LGBQT community, killed as they finished a night of spending time with friends and loved ones at the Orlando night club. It’s a sentiment echoing through the minds of millions of people who woke Sunday morning to the news. The gunman, who purchased a machine gun legally in the United States, walked into the club and simply opened fire. Stories of heroics shortly followed as survivors told of how they hid in wash- room stalls and pulled each other to safety. Families who lost a son or daugh- ter told stories of the last text messages they received, from people they won’t hear from again. And still the thought echoes through our minds, “what do you do?” There is no end to the rhetoric from both the left and the right of the political spectrum in the United States. The right argues banning the sale of automatic weapons such as the one used in Orlando and the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting which killed 20 school children, won’t stop future slaughters. The left argues the ban, or at least a 10-day waiting period for anyone who wants to buy an automatic weapon, will curtail future mass shootings in a coun- try which has faced this argument too many times in recent years. It seems neither side is willing to work with the other to stop future massacres so the families of those killed are left mourning their loved ones and ques- tioning how a country as powerful as the U.S. can continue to turn a blind eye to this level of sickening violence in its own neighbourhoods. Commentors on our Facebook page have wondered aloud if this type of mass shooting is in Canada’s future. Let’s hope not. We are different from Americans who are being force-fed a message of hate and bigotry towards anyone different. Canada is a more inclusive society where guns are not as easy to purchase as a box of diapers from Costco. For that we can all be thankful. Yet we sit and watch tragedies such as Orlando unfold and wonder “what do you do?” Hug the ones you love and make sure your children feel safe and have an opportunity to discuss their feelings. What more can we do? -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division our opinion What do you do when faced with massacre after massacre? Positive energy shared through grace and manners column T he longer I am on this planet, the clearer it becomes to me that our salvation or destruc- tion will hinge, not upon some dreadfully complex technology or world shattering scientific break- through, but on something as ancient, simple and fleeting as grace and man- ners. Every hour of every day, the butter- fly effect is in full force upon this earth as millions of us consciously or, more often than not, unconsciously trip dom- inoes that set into play endless chain reactions of love or hate, happiness or anger, laughter or sadness. Do you suppose, for instance, that the bird you flipped in traffic this morning lands only on the poor sod you cut off? Or that the dressing-down you gave the new girl from the mailroom ends with her tears only? Or that the surprised smile you got when you complimented a stranger on her hair goes no further than that encounter? No. Of course not. Whatever energy we choose to unleash upon this world gets picked up and multiplied by hundreds, thousands, even millions of other energy slingers out there who take it in and immediate- ly begin tripping their own sets of domi- noes. And so it goes and so it grows, literal- ly creating and molding the world that we live in and on. For the planet herself is no less receptive to that energy than those of us walking on her. This is an awesome thought and worth pondering for a moment. What you do from minute to minute in your day, how you react, the words you speak and how you speak them, all have an unfathomable and continuous impact on the world around you. Stripped to our essentials we are all not much more than beacons of energy. Literally, mar- velous collections of buzzing, electrified atoms ... energy. We’re like little kids running around with ray guns in our hands. Fortunately that gun has a couple of settings; positive and negative. And we, with every word we speak, with every gesture we make, in every inter- action with every other gun-toting kid we meet, have a choice regarding which kind of energy we are going to put forth and whether we’re going to fire that gun consciously or unconsciously. Manners and grace are the conscious manifestations of someone who under- stands the kind of firepower they are carrying around with them and who is choosing to use that energy to make this world a better place. The more people comprehend this and the enormous power they have at their fingertips, the greater our chanc- es of consciously creating a perfect and beautiful world. -- Port Perry resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. neil crone Enter Laughing du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 9 AP 200 workers to be laid off Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- GM supplier Johnson Con- trols Inc. (JCI) is cutting more than 200 jobs and closing the doors to its Whitby plant on July 1. JCI entered into a joint venture with a Chinese company a year ago and is now known as Yanfeng Automotive Interiors. Their Whitby plant produc- es door panels and floor consoles for GM’s Impala. Officials at Unifor Local 222, the union representing workers at the plant, say the closure comes after GM and Yanfeng failed to reach an agreement on the sup- ply contract. Local 222 president Colin James said that means the plant will close despite the fact that the Unifor-JCI collective agreement stretches to August 2017. There are currently 200 employees in the plant and about 70 people on lay- off. “I think it’s devastating for the workers, we have a contract that’s not supposed to end until August of 2017, so Yanfeng has really pulled the rug out from under the workers,” said Mr. James. Yanfeng did not respond to a request for comment. Right now, said Mr. James, the union is making sure the closure language in the contract is respected including sections on pensions and severance. “They’re saying they won’t continue operations, we can’t force them, the best we can do is get our workers taken care of,” he said. Meanwhile, Unifor’s national office issued a statement advocating for GM’s new supplier to be located in Durham Region. “We cannot stand by and let good jobs continue to be lost in the Durham Region,” said Unifor national president Jerry Dias in the statement. “The workers with the skills to make these parts are here in Whitby, so it makes sense for the parts to continue to be made here.” Johnson Controls closing Durham plant on July 1 Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland WHITBY — GM supplier Johnson Controls Inc.

Pickering has played host to Games for past three decades DURHAM -- The Durham Regional Police Children’s Games Partnership has received the second annual David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessi- bility. The Durham Regional Police accepted the award from the Government of Ontar- io on behalf of the Partnership at Queen’s Park on June 2. The DRP Children’s Games Partnership is comprised of the Durham Regional Police, the City of Pickering, the Camp- bell Children’s School, the Grandview Children’s Centre, and the March of Dimes. This core partnership has been supported each year by a variety of other local organizations and numerous volun- teers. As one of the partners, the City of Pickering has hosted the annual Chil- dren’s Games, and welcomed young ath- letes, their families and friends to the City, and its accessible public facilities for the past three decades. Children aged five to 18 with a variety of physical disabilities and/or mobility lim- itations are eligible to participate in the Games and develop essential skills that will help them in future endeavors. These young athletes are given an opportuni- ty to discover new inclusive sports and experience the joy of being ‘in the game.’ “While we are proud to accept the David Onley Award for Leadership in Accessi- bility, the greatest pride we feel is seeing these wonderful athletes inspire all with their passion, talent, and determination to succeed,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “We have a collective responsibility to make our community more accessible for all residents – both on and off the field of competition.” Durham Regional Police Games receives David C. Onley award du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 10 AP The hungry took their seats as volunteers filled plates with salads, main courses and desserts, then delivered them to tables with a smile. On this day members of the Durham Region Law Association were serving the clientele, fulfilling a commitment to reach out to a community they’d typically interact with in offices or courtrooms. Their involvement came about as the result of a sug- gestion by Denise Branton, a corporate lawyer based in Whitby. “One of the things I was asking was, what were we doing for our community?” Ms. Branton said. She sent out enquiries to gauge interest among Dur- ham lawyers in helping out at St. Vincent’s, and was encouraged by their positive replies. The lawyers began working shifts at the kitchen in February. “It’s very rewarding,” Ms. Branton said. “It’s an inter- esting way to participate in the community.” In the course of their practices, lawyers, especially those specializing in criminal matters, represent peo- ple as they make their way through a court system that can be stressful and intimidating. But stepping up through volunteerism allows them to address peoples’ needs on a much more fundamental level. “When you serve somebody a meal, that’s a necessity of life,” Ms. Branton said. “They’re extremely thankful.” On this Wednesday afternoon, volunteers hustled plates of steaming food to tables, then bustled back to fetch drinks and diners’ choices of desserts (there was some consternation when that day’s particular favou- rite, lemon meringue pie, ran out, but, happily, there were many other options). Pitching in was Oshawa Mayor John Henry, a regular volunteer. At one point he was standing by the des- sert cooler, taking a breather, when a diner shyly hailed him. “A glass of water?” she quietly requested. The mayor was back in seconds. The elderly woman looked up and her weathered face broke into a warm smile. “Thank you, sir,” she said softly. “You’re most welcome,” said the mayor. The St. Vincent’s restaurant-style service model delivers much more than basic sustenance, said Jodi Millen, executive director of Durham Outlook for the Needy. “It’s not just about putting food in people’s mouths -- it’s about dignity,” she said. “We’ve become a place where people can come in out of the cold, out of the rain, out of the heat, and know there’s a beacon where they can meet their friends.” Probably the busiest person amid the humid bustle of the basement dining room was Roland Langstaff, who has volunteered at St. Vincent’s for more than 20 years; he started out as a client and now co-ordinates operations at the kitchen, which can see upwards of 200 clients in a single day, including families with children. In addition to feeding people, Mr. Langstaff sees it as his duty to connect with them, to make them feel they too have a place in the city. “I talk to them, try to cheer them up,” he said. The gratitude he receives in turn is ample payment for the effort, Mr. Langstaff said: “It’s the attitude of the people here.” The kitchen serves up tens of thousands of meals every year, a task possible only because of the dedica- tion of volunteers, Mr. Langstaff said. He’s appreciative of groups such as the law association who have seen a need and stepped up to address it. “It makes me to feel good, having extra people in to help,” he said. “We really need it.” Many other volunteers are busy each day, picking up and delivering the donated goods that go into the meals served at the kitchen. Ms. Branton said some- thing as simple as a wholesome meal and basic human kindness can mean an immense amount to the needy. “They show such gratitude,” she said. “There’s a wonderful feeling that you’re there to help.” Volunteers the ‘bread and butter’ of durham outlook Volunteers are the lifeblood of Durham Outlook for the Needy, the community organization that operates St. Vincent’s kitchen and numerous other food distribution programs in Durham Region. “I am constantly, delightfully surprised at the dedica- tion and longevity of our volunteers,” said Durham Out- look executive director Jodi Millen. “Volunteers are -- no pun intended -- our bread and butter.” While St. Vincent’s in downtown Oshawa may be the most visible of the organization’s efforts, it is far from the only one. Durham Outlook partners with agencies to provide food for women’s and homeless shelters, food banks and school breakfast and lunch programs, among others. Durham Outlook has established links with corporate sponsors that provide food, but it’s volunteers who drive the vans, manage the pantry, and serve the meals. At St. Vincent’s, where an average of 200 people are served each day -- that’s 50,000 meals a year -- between 1,000 and 1,200 volunteers step up each month to help. “Although we may be small, our volume is incredibly high,” said Ms. Millen. “Our numbers keep going up.” New volunteers are always welcome. If you’re inter- ested in helping out, call manager of operations Valerie Moreton at 905-434-7543.

The Ontario Court of Appeal ruling, released Tuesday, June 7, confirms a Dur- ham Region judge’s finding that Ms. Bos is guilty of arson, and the 18-month jail sen- tence he imposed. In her appeal, heard by the court in Feb- ruary, counsel for Ms. Bos argued Superi- or Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy com- mitted several key errors, including that he improperly allowed evidence of dis- creditable conduct on her part, reversed the burden of proof from the Crown to the defence, and incorrectly rejected a defence recommendation of a sentence of house arrest. All grounds of appeal were rejected. Ms. Bos was convicted following a sen- sational trial in 2012, during which pros- ecutor David Parke advanced a theory she had attempted to set fire to the 150-year- old Courtice home of her boyfriend, Jim Hoy. Ms. Bos committed the act to create a diversion and prevent Mr. Hoy from dis- covering the double life she was leading, according to the Crown. Ms. Bos falsely informed Mr. Hoy she was separated, then upped the ante by telling him that her husband had died and that she expected a financial windfall upon settlement of his estate, court heard. Her husband, who was very much alive, found out about his wife’s affair in March of 2009; thereafter he discovered she had accumulated significant credit card debt and withdrawn $46,000 on a line of credit, court heard. On June 30, the day the fire was set in Mr. Hoy’s house, he and Ms. Bos were scheduled to deliver a $100,000 payment on a property they planned to buy togeth- er in Picton, according to evidence at trial. The Crown asserted Ms. Bos was respon- sible for the money and couldn’t come up with it. The fire caused minimal damage; Mr. Hoy learned soon thereafter that Ms. Bos’s husband was alive, and told him about the incident. She was arrested July 9, 2009. Ms. Bos testified at trial that the Crown’s case was built on lies. She denied ever being engaged to Mr. Hoy or telling him her husband was dead. She suggested Mr. Hoy framed her to prevent her from reporting a fire in the garage at his home the previous day, which she suggested he’d set deliberately as part of an insur- ance scam. Justice Shaughnessy accepted Mr. Hoy’s version of events, and rejected Ms. Bos’s. He reasoned that as only two people were present in the house the day of the fire, either Mr. Hoy or Ms. Bos had to be responsible for it. In the end, he convicted Ms. Bos of arson.

The Liberal government announced in late March a new Ontario Autism Pro- gram in which $333 million in funding will move toward a focus on intensive behavioural intervention (IBI) services for children ages two to four; and tran- sition children five years and older cur- rently receiving IBI to applied behaviour analysis (ABA) services. While the new program will reduce wait times for many children, those five years old and up will no longer be eligi- ble for IBI. “This is despicable and uncalled for in today’s times,” said Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean at the June 8 regional council meeting. Bruce McIntosh, president of the Ontario Autism Coalition, spoke before councillors and explained IBI involves 20 to 40 hours of intensive therapy each week, whereas ABA is only two to four hours of therapy a week. “On behalf of fellow autism parents across Ontario and particularly in Dur- ham, I urge regional council to adopt the position of your lower-tier municipali- ties,” said Mr. McIntosh. Council later endorsed a motion from the City of Pickering, as well as clauses from a City of Oshawa resolution on the topic. Regional staff have been directed to combine the motion and the clauses into one letter, and send it to the Prov- ince. The Pickering motion strongly urges the provincial government to reinstate adequate funding for children with autism in need of IBI, regardless of their age. An important Oshawa clause asks the Province to adopt a direct funding offering (DFO) model in lieu of the cur- rent direct service offering. A DFO model allows parents to receive funding directly in order to purchase services, and is in place in Alberta and British Columbia. With the DSO model, children receive services directly at Ontario’s nine regional service provid- ers. Mr. McIntosh said a DFO model is less expensive than a DSO plan. “I would hope with this getting legs and awareness, that the Province will do the right thing and restore funding imme- diately and also implement the four Oshawa clauses,” said Coun. McLean.

The boy, who is under 16, reported the incident hours after it occurred around 12:10 a.m. May 29, Durham police said. It’s alleged the driver, who picked the youth up on Lakeview Park Avenue, engaged the victim in conversation before touching his genitals. The driver then stopped the car and sexually assaulted the youth, police said. A suspect turned himself in at a police station June 14. Ahmad Sohail, 29, of Ridge Valley Drive in Oshawa is charged with sex- ual assault, sexual interference, and invita- tion to sexual touching. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 13 APNOTICEOFPUBLICINFORMATIONCENTRE#2 407 Transitway -Kennedy Road to Brock Road –Regional Municipalities of York and Durham THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO)is proposing a 18 km segment of a transitway facility along the Highway 407 corridor through York Region and Durham Region,from east of Kennedy Road in the City of Markham to east of Brock Road in the City of Pickering (407 Transitway).The 407 Transitway includes Markham Road Station,Ninth Line Station,Donald Cousens Parkway Station,Whites Road Station and Brock Road Station; and three protected sites near McCowan Road,York-Durham Line and Rossland Road.Subject to the outcome of the study,the 407 Transitway will be implemented initially as bus rapid transit (BRT)with the opportunity to convert to light rail transit (LRT)in the future. This 18 km segment forms part of the 150 km long high-speed interregional facility planned to be ultimately constructed on a separate right-of-way that parallels Highway 407 from Burlington to Highway 35/115,with stations,parking and access connections.This transitway is a component of the official plans of the stakeholder municipalities and of the Province’s commitment to support transit initiatives in the Greater Golden Horseshoe through the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan. THE PROCESS The environmental impact of this transit project will be assessed according to the transit project assessment process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08,Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings.As part of the transit project assessment process,an Environmental Project Report (EPR)will be prepared.The Notice of Commencement for the Transit Project Assessment Process and release of the EPR will be published in this local newspaper in the future.All information produced as part of this project is available at www.407transitway.com.

On June 2, at approximately 4:30 p.m., an off-duty North Divi- sion officer witnessed a Jeep run a stop sign at the intersection of Regional Road 57 and McKee Road south of Blackstock. Police estimate the Jeep was travelling in excess of 100 km/h through the intersection and say the vehi- cle became airborne as it soared across Regional Road 57, narrow- ly missing the southbound vehi- cles. The off-duty officer followed the Jeep until it stopped at an address in Blackstock. The off-duty offi- cer prevented the driver from continuing on before responding officers arrived and arrested the female for impaired driving. Ashleigh McCourt, 26, of Fralicks Beach Road in Scu- gog Township, is charged with impaired driving, dangerous driv- ing and exceed 80 mgs. She was released on an undertaking with conditions.

In Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Monday changes, the MPP was removed from her job as minister of children and youth services, in which she experienced criticism after contro- versial changes to the Province’s program for children with autism. “It’s important to note it’s a large compli- cated ministry, with many important files that help children and youth in the province and I’m confident and hopeful we’ll get to a good place,” she said after the shuffle. Ms. MacCharles maintains the portfolio for women’s issues, and is now responsible for accessibility issues. “We haven’t had a minis- ter responsible for accessibility for a very long time in cabinet,” said Ms. MacCharles. She said one area she’d like to focus on is accessibility in the workplace. On women’s issues, she’s working on files regarding violence against women and girls, and closing the wage gap. “It’s higher for women in certain groups, such as newcom- ers, Indigenous women, racialized women and women with disabilities,” she said. The premier brought in seven new back- benchers after four veterans voluntarily departed. Cabinet has gone from 27 to 30 members, including the premier. Cabinet is now 40 per cent female. Ms. MacCharles is the only Durham MPP in cabinet. In fact, no Durham MPs are in cabi- net at the federal level either. While pleased with the role, she noted her first job is as local MPP, and staying connected with constitu- ents. She’s proud of the work she did in many areas regarding children and youth, such as adoption and children at risk. “I hope I’m remembered in that file for more than just the autism file because there’s some other impor- tant things we’ve gone ahead with,” she said. She noted the government invested $333 million into the autism program, and opened 16,000 new therapy spaces. The new program was criticized because children five and older will no longer receive access to intensive behaviour therapy. She said both she and the premier have met with families and groups on this issue. “We signaled that we’re looking at potential additional support to transition to the new program,” she said.

Since the Region’s inception, it has had four standing committees -- finance and administration, planning and eco- nomic development, works, and health and social services. Starting in September, a single com- mittee of the whole will replace the four standing committees. The committee will meet on the first Wednesday of each month (the second Wednesday in Janu- ary) and Regional council will meet on the second Wednesday (third in Janu- ary). Regional councillors approved mov- ing to the new system at its meeting on Wednesday, June 8. All members of council will be on the new committee. Clarington Councillor Joe Neal sug- gested more council meetings should be scheduled, noting there could be times when there are no meetings for three weeks. Aside from Christmas, under the current system, there are no three week gaps, he added. “The committee of the whole will have super agendas. I think we should be get- ting together a little more often,” he said. “This is where we do the people’s busi- ness.” Matt Gaskell, the commission of cor- porate services, said, “The schedule we’ve put forward we feel very strongly is the best. It’s simplest for council, staff and the public.” Oshawa Councillor Amy McQuaid- England wanted a change that would see committee meetings ending at 5:30 p.m., as she has a toddler who has to be picked up by 6 p.m. “The days could drag on significantly,” she said. However, that suggestion was defeat- ed. Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell opposed moving away from the current system. “For me, the current committee sys- tem works well. It’s convenient and it works,” Coun. Mitchell said. Councillors opposed to the change noted the new format would lead to lon- ger meetings. Oshawa Councillor Bob Chapman noted, “The brain can only take as much as the rear side can hold.” Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor supported the new system. “I’ve only worked under the one sys- tem. This is suppose to be a pilot project until 2018. I’d like to work under that. If it doesn’t work, we can go back.” Oshawa Councillor Dan Carter also supported the new system. “I want to be part of 28 engaged and excited individuals.” PICKERING 1790 Liverpool Rd.

SHOP THEBAY.COM Wrens are filling the gaps this spring There’s a baby boom going on. An explosion of life as countless feathered and furred animals mate and raise young all around us. The longest day happens to coincide with a full moon this year, providing plenty of light for all the flowering, fruiting, and hatching out of food to feed those babies. And long hours for busy parents to collect it and stuff it in gaping mouths. I can’t go out of the house with- out hearing house wrens sing- ing. One of these tiny brown birds has taken over an ornate wooden birdhouse on a pole in our neigh- bours’ garden, and I was treated to a great view of it perched on top the other day, head tipped back and throat vibrating as it poured out its jumbled, energetic burst of notes. House wrens nest in cavities -- bird boxes, holes in trees, plant- ers, old tin cans, even the pockets of scarecrows. Males like to have three or four choices on offer in their territory. They fill each space with twigs, and if a pass- ing female likes the location, she removes a few sticks and builds a grass cup lined with hair and feathers on top, the twigs serving as a support to keep the nest high and dry. Our neighbours’ wren hasn’t found a mate yet, judging by how constantly it sings. Ones busi- ly tending five to seven nestlings aren’t as vocal, although I often hear distant wrens answering -- likely the most common song throughout much of Durham Region after robins right now. Nesting in a box or a hole in a tree can be a safer choice than building a nest in the open, hid- den in grass or leaves. But dan- gers abound from anything small enough to enter -- a weasel, a red squirrel, the long arm of a rac- coon. Or, ironically, another bird. Tiny as they are -- four and a half inches, 11 cm, from beak to the tip of their cocked tail -- house wrens have been known to enter nearby cavities occupied by tree swal- lows, bluebirds or house wrens, destroying the eggs and even killing the young. That fierce spirit may help explain why house wrens are almost as widespread throughout the Americas as great horned owls, or humans. All baby birds face great dangers as soon as they leave the nest, worst of all from free- roaming cats. Our beloved kitties kill about 200 million birds in Canada each year.

Tomlinson after Pickering council approves change PICKERING -- Pickering’s Claremont Com- munity Centre has officially been renamed in honour of Dr. Nelson F. Tomlinson. Council approved the renaming in Febru- ary and the formal celebration was held on June 11. “In Pickering, we are so blessed with our rich history of heritage buildings and arti- facts,” said Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson. “But the grassroots support that I received was so vibrant and evident from the local community groups and citizens I rep- resent, that this motion I brought forward to rename the Claremont Community Centre met with unanimous support from every- one.” In 1919, Dr. Tomlinson got the call that Cla- remont needed a doctor. In his early years, he traveled miles by foot, snowshoe, horse and buggy and, later, in a Model T Ford to visit patients. Dr. Tomlinson was also in charge of those with scarlet fever who were quaran- tined, and he stayed isolated in the Masonic Hall until they were well. He practised medi- cine for 56 years until age 90. Claremont Community Centre now officially renamed Submitted photo PICKERING — The City of Pickering has changed the name of the Claremont Community Centre to Dr. Nelson F. Tomlinson Community Centre.

Justin Greaves / Metroland Duckling love at new Pickering farmers’ market PICKERING -- Lisa Barth held a two-day-old duckling during the official ribbon cutting of the Pickering City Centre Farmers’ Market on June 14. Plea in sex assault case of Ajax swim coach postponed Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An expected resolution in the sexual assault case of former Ajax swim coach Matthew Bell was delayed once again recently when the case was adjourned for three weeks. It’s the second time this month the matter has been postponed. Mr. Bell was scheduled to enter a plea May 9, but an adjournment was granted and the matter rescheduled for May 30. The matter, however, was delayed because Mr. Bell’s law- yer, Bernie O’Brien, was out of the jurisdic- tion, court heard. “I’m quite surprised,” prosecutor Taran Boodoosingh told Ontario Court Justice John Adamson. “The matter was marked for a plea.” Lawyer Justin Guile, who appeared on behalf of Mr. O’Brien, said the lawyer and his client have a “few more things” to consider before a plea. “I do believe a plea will be entered,” Mr. Guile said. Mr. Bell, 35, was arrested in Novem- ber 2015 after an investigation by Durham police into allegations he’d sexually assault- ed a teenaged girl. Charges included sexual assault, sexual interference, and computer contact with a person under 18 for a criminal purpose. At the time of his arrest, Mr. Bell was CEO of Ajax Swimming. Soon after his arrest, Swimming Canada announced it had cut ties with him.

In return, the bees will pollinate your owers, providing a bountiful harvest of fruits, seeds and vegetables as well as the joy of watching them up close. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind as you grow your bee-friendly garden: Rethink your lawn. Replace part or all of your front lawn grass with owering plants, which provides food and habitat for bees and other wildlife. Plant native owers. Native owers help feed your bees and are uniquely adapted to your region. Try to use owers to which local bees are especially adapted. You can also visit the websites of regional botanic gardens and plant nurseries for more info on bee-friendly plants. Select single ower tops such as daisies and marigolds, rather than double ower tops such as double impatiens. Double headed owers look showy but produce much less nectar and make it much more dif cult for bees to access pollen. Plan for blooms season-round. Plant at least three different types of owers to ensure blooms through as many seasons as possible, thus providing bees with a constant source of food. For example: Crocus, hyacinth, borage, calendula, and wild lilac provide enticing spring blooms. Bees feast on bee balm, cosmos, echinacea, snapdragons foxglove, and hosta in the summer. For fall, zinnias, sedum, asters, witch hazel and goldenrod are late bloomers that will tempt foragers. Build homes for solitary bees. Leave a patch of the garden in a sunny spot uncultivated for solitary bees that burrow. Some solitary bees also need access to soil surface for nesting. For wood- and stem-nesting bees, this means piles of branches, hollow reeds, or nesting blocks made out of untreated wood. Mason bees need a source of water and mud, and many kinds of bees are attracted to weedy, untended hedgerows. Only use natural pesticides and fertilizers. Avoid using herbicides or pesticides in the garden. They not only can be toxic to bees but also are best not introduced to children PLANT A BEE GARDEN or adults that visit your garden. Ladybugs, spiders, and praying mantises will naturally keep pest populations in check. Create a “bee bath.” Bees need a place to get fresh, clean water. Fill a shallow container of water with pebbles or twigs for the bees to land on while drinking. Make sure to maintain the container full of fresh water to ensure that they know they can return to the same spot every day. Every little bit can help to nurture bees and other pollinators. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 24 AP (905) 428-0248 www.collvin.ca • Kitchen • Bathrooms • Flooring Granite | Quartz | Custom Made 647-882-6282 Visit our Showroom 71 Station Street Unit 3 Ajax Ont.

A recent survey carried out by Brand- Spark International shows that commu- nity newspapers are not only the most trusted source of advertising among all mediums, but also that local papers are seen as the most involved entity in their communities -- ahead of service clubs, churches and schools. “Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community level news and information that consum- ers can’t find anywhere else,” explained Michelle Digulla, vice-president of mar- keting at Metroland Media. “Not only is that leading to high levels of trust and engagement, but it’s motivating our readers to take action based on what they see in our properties.” The Community Newspaper Impact Report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that local com- munity newspapers are the most trust- ed source of advertising among respon- dents (88 per cent) ahead of all other channels, including radio (83 per cent), television (75 per cent), the Internet (56 per cent) and social media (40 per cent). As well, more than three-quarters of community newspaper readers surveyed agreed that the content of those papers drove them to take action by either vis- iting a store, buying something, telling someone about a “great deal or product” or going to a website to learn more. The report also found 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe their com- munity newspaper or local news website connects them to their community and more than seven in 10 people indicated that their community newspaper has a positive impact on their local communi- ty. According to the survey, 73 per cent of Ontarians surveyed read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper. In Dur- ham Region, readership is particular- ly strong with more than 82 per cent of adults reading through their local paper. The survey also found Metroland com- munity newspapers are most commonly read by two adults in every household and that issues are kept in a home for almost four days. And, readership does not seem to be declining, according to the survey, with 92 per cent of people saying they plan to read more or the same amount as the previous year. In the key 18 to 35 demographic, 87 per cent of younger adults also reported they would be reading as much or more this year. The survey was conducted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016, and was com- pleted by more than 13,000 adults within Metroland’s circulation footprint either online or by phone. Durham Metroland papers leaders in their communities Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community level news and information that consumers can’t find anywhere else. -- Michelle Digulla, vice-president of marketing, Metroland Media “ du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 25 AP LIVE RACING - MAy to oCtobER off-tRACk WAGERING ~ ALL yEAR ‘RouNd’ 50 Alexander’s Crossing,Ajax ON • 905.686.8001 for complete details go to www.ajaxdowns.com June 12th –Kick off the Ajax Home Week with Joe Dickson MPP June 19th –Father’s Day at the Races Sponsored by & Meet the Bud Girls June 25th & 26th –Caribbean Festival Weekend- Saturday and Sunday Watch for our Great Summer Event Line Up June Events LocaLLy Manufactured •Custom Windows •Custom Doors •Patio Doors ORDERS PROCESSED IN 3TO7DAYS •SCREEN REPAIR •EMERGENCY GLASS SERVICES •GLASS REPAIR •Superior Quality •Vinyl Windows •Lifetime Warranty •Fiberglass and Steel Entrance Doors •Leading Patio Door Manufacturer All WindoWs And doors Are mAnufActured in-house by cAnAdA WindoWs & doors And y by our deAlers. 905-665-1506 Toll Free: 1.800.561.2176 119 Consumers Drive, Whitby www.canadawindowsanddoors.com in-house by cAnAdA Windo supported locAlly by our de 905-665-1506119 Consumers Drive,Whitby Canada Windows&Doors ProudlyServingDurhamSince 1991 Halibut Fish& Chips Expires June 29 th, 2016 With Coupon Eat-In Only 1 Egg Breakfast (1 Eggs, 2 Bacon, Ham or Sausage, Homestyle Fries and Texas Toast) 2015 HALIBUT HOUSE fish & chips 85 Kingston Rd., E., Ajax 905-239-0215 ONLY AVAILABLE AT AJAX LOCATION $349 Buy 1 and Get 2 nd at 1/2 Price!

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.

Whitby musician Ron Beer is putting together two July 1 concerts in memory of David Sachs, a harmonica player with a Pickering connection who died. “I met Dave (“Busher”) in Grade 7; he played a mean harp,” Beer says. “He loved the blues.

Now you’ve got the feeling.” The concerts are at 2 and 4 p.m. in the garden of Henry House, at the Oshawa Community Museum at Lakeview Park.

It is completely natural to get upset and want to give up at times. Many of the greatest athletes never achieve their dreams of being a profes- sional or going to the Olympics. My research and experience tells me that they lack the mental toughness and fortitude to accept losses as a stepping stone to improvement and greatness. All the best performers have all gone through periods where things were not going well. Coaches and friends thought they didn’t have what it takes to be an all-star. Those who listened to the naysayers never made it to the big leagues. I have heard hundreds of stories over the years about superstar athletes who should have been a shoe-in for the pro- fessional leagues and the Olympics but couldn’t deal with failure and needed to be perfect all the time regardless of the circumstances. Champion teams and athletes never give up no matter the score and no matter how many losses they experi- ence. Look at Don Cherry: he never made it to the NHL, but was one of the best coaches in the NHL and one of the best TV commentators for NHL hockey games in Toronto. Look at Mike Weir: he was not out- standing as a junior golfer and no one, including himself, ever dreamed of winning the Masters or winning eight times on the PGA tour. Justin Williams from Cobourg is another example of a tireless plodder who never gives up. No one thought he would make it to the NHL and win three Stanley Cups, as he has done. He just kept on going and improving every year like Mike Weir. These guys were classic grinders and took each defeat as a signal to get better. The message is very clear: If you want to be great, never let failure or defeat get you down; let failure be your inspi- ration to further develop your men- tal and emotional skills to be tougher, stronger and wiser. The real game is in your head and heart. Dr. Douglas Smith is a licensed psychologist in Ontario specializing in sport psychology.

Anna won three gold medals and Shaleah won three silver medals. Ajax’s Anna Witherspoon, Pickering’s Shaleah Colaire clean up at OFSAA championships Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The dynamic relation- ship of Anna Witherspoon and Shale- ah Colaire could end up carrying both all the way to the Olympics down the road. Friends off the track but rivals on it, the two young athletes turned in domi- nant performances at the OFSAA pro- vincial high school championships in Windsor June 2-4, with Witherspoon winning gold medals in all three of her individual events and Colaire silver in two of those and one other. It was the OFSAA debut for both Grade 9 athletes, who train togeth- er with the Durham Legion Athlet- ics Track Club, but compete for rival schools, Witherspoon at Pickering High in Ajax and Colaire at St. Mary Catholic Secondary in Pickering. Witherspoon edged Colaire in both midgets girls’ hurdles events, winning the 80m in 11.61 seconds compared to Colaire’s 11.85 and the 300m in 44.23 versus 44.40. Witherspoon also won the 200m run, in a time of 24.91, while Colaire fin- ished second in the 400m run in 57.54, just over a second behind Guelph’s Tiana Lostracco. The results, which came on the same track that saw both break a bantam provincial record in hurdles two years earlier, also led their school teams to gold (Pickering) and silver (St. Mary) in the midget girls’ division. Nyron Higgins, who coaches both at the Legion club along with Percy Marsh, says the Olympic potential is real. “Definitely. I can’t see why not,” Hig- gins said. “The times they are running right now are very comparable to some of the past Canadian team members and Olympians, so I don’t see why they couldn’t make it.” Colaire’s family is rich in athletic blood, including her older sister Nikki- ta Holder, who ran the 100m hurdles at the London 2012 Olympics and hopes to again in Rio this summer. But, while Higgins is nowhere near ready to pigeonhole either athlete just yet, he wouldn’t be surprised to see Colaire end up more dominant in the 400m hurdles, and Witherspoon in the sprint hurdles. Colaire, who also plays elite soccer, joined the track club around Grade 3, Higgins recalls, while Witherspoon signed up a few years later, in part at the urging of Colaire’s dad, Lincoln. Higgins says the two get along famously, but they have very different makeups, with Colaire being far more confident. “Anna sometimes doesn’t know her own abilities,” he explains. “She’s very, very good. She doubts herself a lot, but the support around her has always been able to maintain her jitters and her nerves.” Colaire, an important part of that support system, is driven by the accomplishments of Holder and her two brothers, Ashton, who finished eighth in the senior boys’ 110m hur- dles at OFSAA, and Trystan, who plays university football in Vermont. “Sports is in their bloodlines, but the thing with Shaleah is, of all the kids I would say that she’s probably the most competitive, and probably the most determined,” Higgins said. “I think with that alone, anything is possible for her.” Ten other Legion club athletes also attended the OFSAA meet and two more won medals, Pickering High’s Asante Jackson a silver in the midget boys’ 400m and Notre Dame’s Alyssa Marsh bronze in the junior girls’ 100m. With the high school season now over, the club will focus on upcom- ing qualifying meets with the hope of sending some to the youth nationals in Quebec in August. Next summer, the youth world championships will be the goal. Friendly foes on the track Ajax school competes at Mayor’s School Cricket GTA Finals in Brampton Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com AJAX — Larry Green has a bit of a back- ground in cricket, having played it growing up in Montreal, but he admits the team he coaches at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate would not be possible without the students not only playing, but also organizing. The Ajax school was able to field a team this spring, and became only the second school ever from Durham Region to attend the CIMA Mayor’s School Cricket GTA Finals in Brampton on June 4. Although only 10 players were able at make it out to the season-ending tourna- ment, leaving the Storm one short for each of its games and unable to reach the playoffs, merely getting there was an accomplishment that made Green proud. “We’ve got two team captains who have been absolutely crucial to not just the games, but also forming the team as it were,” said Green, praising Aman Abdul-Razzak and Walled Sohail. “The interesting thing is this team comes from I would say more than half a dozen backgrounds. It’s a very mixed team. It’s really an interesting group.” The Storm qualified for the Brampton tournament by winning a four-team Dur- ham championship involving Pine Ridge and Dunbarton of Pickering and Sinclair from Whitby. J. Clarke won by nine runs over Sinclair and seven wickets over Dunbarton, but lost to Pine Ridge by 26 runs in round-robin play. Facing Pine Ridge again in the champion- ship game at the Ajax Cricket Club, the Storm prevailed by six runs in a super inning after the match ended in a tie, 41-41. “It was pretty tense,” said Green, compar- ing the super inning to a shootout in hockey. “We had spectators down at the field at Mon- arch Park stopping and looking because they hadn’t really seen this sort of thing before. You could tell there was a lot of tension out there.” In addition to his two captains, Green cred- ited Umer Mohammad and Haris Sohail for contributing greatly to the victory. The team was initially composed of 15 players, all boys, but due to injuries was reduced to 12 for the Durham tournament, Green said. “We have got some experienced players who have been playing it for awhile, and these are the students that are helping teach the other ones that don’t have as much expe- rience all the tricks of the trade,” said Green. Green explained the high school game is far different than the version he played in Montreal, which was the traditional all-day format most associate with the sport. “Now they’ve got what they call this eight- over format, which is very fast, almost like a time limit,” he said. “It’s become a very stra- tegic, almost mathematical game. It’s totally different from what I knew, so I’ve had to re- learn the system because the old rules don’t necessarily apply today.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 37 AP Fine print:Use promo code at checkout.Expiry:July 2nd,2016,11:59 pm EST.Valid towards offers transacted on WagJag.com/BBQ ONLY.To redeem,you must have or create an account at WagJag.com.Use code in one transaction.Any purchase for an amount greater than the amount of the promo code must be paid with an alternative method of payment.Unauthorized use,reproduction or resale is prohibited.Not reloadable.Promo Codes will not be replaced or replenished if lost,stolen,used incorrectly or without authorization.May not be exchanged for cash.Non-transferrable.Other terms and conditions apply –see http://www.wagjag.com/GroupBuyTerms.

SportS Pickering soccer player to take his cleats to Ohio Al rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Sometimes opportunities materialize when you least expect them. That’s what happened for a Pickering teen who’s leaving for Ohio on an athletic scholar- ship in the fall. Gary Canam, 19, will begin training for his freshman season with the Walsh University Cavaliers (North Canton, Ohio) men’s soccer team in August after recently signing a schol- arship offer from the university. The Cava- liers play within the Great Lakes Intercolle- giate Athletic Conference (NCAA Division 2). Canam says that it was only shortly after joining Durham United -- a semi-pro team that plays in Ontario League 1 and features some of the best players in the GTA -- that a coach from the Walsh University soccer pro- gram viewed a practice session and was pre- pared to offer him a scholarship. “I ended up getting a call from a coach (with Walsh U.) saying they were looking for a few new recruits,” said Canam who was sur- prised to be recruited by a Walsh U. coach never having seen him play in a game with Durham United. He visited the Walsh University campus during the March break and was happy to accept the scholarship offer. “I’ve been looking for a soccer scholar- ship my whole life. That’s been the dream,” says Canam, a Pine Ridge Secondary School grad who played rep soccer in Leaside and in Pickering as a youth. He also played through- out high school for the Pumas’ soccer teams. Canam is excited to join Walsh Univer- sity this season, the first season under new head coach Andy Hoggarth, who joined the program in March. Canam, a centre-back, expects to contribute right from the begin- ning of the season. “He’s guaranteed me a spot of the team. They’re trying to re-group the whole team. They’re starting off brand new. They want to build a strong team with all the new play- ers,” said Canam, who’ll be among a group of five Canadians on the team, including two (goalkeeper Jon-Paul Della Pia from Denis O’Connor and midfielder Carlysle McKen- non from Notre Dame) from Ajax and two others from Toronto and Mississauga. In order to be prepared for the oncoming season, Canam says he will continue to play for Durham United U21 throughout the sum- mer before heading to training camp with the Walsh Cavaliers in late August. Canam will study physiotherapy while attending Walsh University. Canam takes can-do attitude to Canton DURHAM — Durham United FA’s two entries in the League1 Ontario soccer loop are off to nice starts, both currently sitting in second place. Stephen Lamanna scored two early goals as the men’s team (5-1-1) dealt the Wood- bridge Strikers (5-1-1) their first loss, 2-0 on Sunday, July 12, and moved into a tie with them for second place in the East- ern Conference, a point back of Vaughan Azzurri (5-0-2). Ben Cowman earned the shutout in goal for the Durham club, which is next in action Sunday, June 19 on the road against Toronto FC Academy. Durham United’s women’s team (4-0-2) remained undefeated following a 1-0 road victory over North Mississauga (1-3-2) Fri- day, June 10. Geneva Winterink’s first-half goal stood up as Laura Dougall had the clean sheet. Durham FC trails FC London (5-0-0) by a point with a head-to-head clash coming next, on Friday, June 24 at 8 p.m. at Oshawa’s Terry Kelly Field. Durham United soccer teams sit in second place Jason Liebregts / Metroland PICKERING -- Gary Canam will be playing with Walsh University of Canton, Ohio on a soccer scholarship.

With a 14-9 victory in Newmarket Tues- day, June 14, the Gaels locked up their fourth straight first-place finish in Ontario’s Eastern Conference. A potential first-round playoff opponent is coming to the Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex Thursday, June 16, when the Ajax- based Ironheads check in for an 8 p.m. start. While the Green Gaels are sporting an impressive 17-1 record, the Ironheads (7-10) are still battling it out for one of the final few spots in the playoffs. Heading into an important Wednesday game in Ajax against Brampton, the Iron- heads were tied in sixth place with Glouces- ter (7-10), while Brampton (6-10) and Kahn- awake (6-11) sat two points back and Missis- sauga (5-13) four behind. Jeff Fernandes, as he has done most nights, led the way offensively for the Gaels in New- market Tuesday with five goals and eight points, giving him 37-59-96 stats through 18 games. Matt Shand chipped in with six points, while Adam Perroni and captain Will Petschenig scored twice each. In Oakville June 11, Perroni had a hat trick and Fernandes four points as the Gaels man- aged a 6-5 win over the Buzz. Two goals and five points from Fernandes paced a 13-8 home-floor win over the Halton Hills Bulldogs June 9. The Ironheads split a pair of weekend road games, losing 7-5 to Halton Hills June 11 before rebounding with a 10-6 win over Mis- sissauga the next day. Ryan Morrison, Jake Gilmour and Adrian Torok-Orban scored twice each in victory, with Kurtis Rauch and Cyle Ropson contrib- uting three points each. Torok-Orban also scored twice in defeat and had three points. The Green Gaels and Ironheads both close out the season in Brampton, June 18 for the Gaels and June 20 for the Ironheads.

Leaking basement?invest in your Foundation with over 35yrsexperience www.noleaks.ca905-686-6880 waterproofing 10year warranty! free estimates! professional and courteous service we will solvethe problem! Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time Water can damage anything it comes across, including carpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to call the experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays and more damage being done. You want to work with professionals who will repair your basement leak right the first time. The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You need someone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.
