The Waterfront Trail runs around the shore of Lake Ontario from St. Catharines to the Quebec border and one of the most scenic sections goes right through Durham Region. News Advertiser reporter Jeff Hayward and photographer Ryan Pfeiffer recently biked the trail from Pickering to Clarington. They’ve noted great places to stop and take pictures, places to enjoy food, and of high importance to many parents, the location of bathrooms. What they found was a great place for families to spend a few hours together or fitness buffs to take a stroll or run and view the outstanding scenery.

DURHAM -- More than 20 people were arrested and large amounts of drugs seized during a series of police raids on homes in Durham Region and the surrounding area Wednesday morning. Two handguns and an estimated $500,000 worth of dope were grabbed by cops when simultaneous raids were launched at addresses in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Toronto and Vaughan at 6 a.m., Durham police said. The raids were the culmination of Proj- ect Daring, launched by Durham’s gang and drug enforcement units two months ago to stem street-level drug and weapons trafficking. During the course of the investiga- tion the scope widened and neighbour- ing police services, including the OPP, became involved. Of the warrants execut- ed Wednesday morning 18 were in Dur- ham -- seven in Ajax, four in Pickering, four in Whitby and three in Oshawa - - while four were in Toronto and two in Vaughan, police said. A total of 23 people were arrested. Police seized more than three kilograms of cocaine and 10 pounds of marijuana, 175 pot plants and more than $100,000 in cash, as well as 5,000 ecstasy tablets and quantities of psilocy- bin and crystal methamphetamine. Two handguns were also seized. Cops seized nine vehicles under pro- ceeds of crime legislation and also shut down what they say was an illegal gaming site. More details on the identity of those charged is to be released later, police said.

The intake draws water from the lake into the plant and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has asked OPG to reduce the number of fish lost in the intake by 80 per cent. A count in 2004 found about 950,000 fish were drawn into the plant, said OPG’s Tho-Dien Le, section man- ager for environmental support and services. Fish that swim up to the plant are caught in barriers and ultimately land- filled. OPG has identified several different types of fish that enter the intake, including ale- wife, yellow perch, rainbow smelt, brown bullhead and walleye. But about 50 per cent of the fish caught are round goby, an inva- sive species considered undesirable in the lake. Ms. Le said OPG considered about eight technologies before choosing to install a barrier net in October, 2009. The net is about 610 metres long with a half-inch mesh. It protrudes about 77 metres from the south- ern tip of the intake channel. Divers regularly check it for tears and other damage. “It’s very important for us to maintain the net. We do not want it to rip because it would eventually end up in our nuclear sys- tem,” said Ms. Le. The net is removed in the winter because the icy conditions make it unsafe for the divers and it is reinstalled in the spring. Ms. Le said the bulk of the fish enter the intake channel in the summer; in the winter fish activity slows down and they’re much less likely to swim into the intake. OPG is working on quantify- ing the impact of the net, but anecdotal evi- dence shows that it’s working. “We’re no longer seeing the big fish,” said Ms. Le, add- ing there’s been a reduction in algae and zebra mussels getting into the plant as well. “That indicates to us the barrier net is working.” The CNSC has also asked OPG to reduce the loss of fish eggs and larva due to the intake by 60 per cent. To make up for that, OPG will look at a stocking program and a fish habitat restoration program. The company is work- ing with the local conservation authority and in the past, OPG has spent millions on habitat restoration projects across Ontario. Ultimately, if the net doesn’t work, Ms. Le said OPG will try the next best technology, but she expects OPG will be able to meet the CNSC’s targets. The Darlington plant is newer and has a different intake design which draws water from a greater depth in the lake and does not have an issue with fish being drawn into the plant.

On July 21, council supported Arran-Elderslie Township’s bylaw that calls for the protection of life, liberty and security of person under Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, claiming wind tur- bines cause serious health effects. The letter to Pickering from the chief administrative officer said council is “not opposed to ‘green energy’ projects per se, however we wish to promote their use in a responsible manner to benefit, or at least, to do no harm to any individ- ual by such use.” Toronto Hydro is currently under- going studies to install a string of up to 60 wind turbines along Lake Ontario from Scarborough to Ajax. In 2009, provincial Green Energy Act provisions removed the munici- pal approval process for renewable energy projects and replaced it with provincial approval, but munici- palities still have a say in the health, safety and well-being of its resi- dents. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson noted there are differ- ent schools of thought on whether wind turbines negatively impact health. “If the jury’s still out, one must err on the side of caution,” he said. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell said she supported the bylaw not because of health concerns, but because of the close prox- imity of the turbines to communities, and noted the bylaw was fair and balanced. “I think it’s a good position for us to take,” said Coun. O’Connell. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean, who’d just returned from a conference on the Great Lakes, said this “hits the nail on the head” in reference to needing a strong environmental review process when dealing with the Great Lakes. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said it makes sense to ensure environmental and consultation processes are in place, but noted it’s time to make the move to climate change and other green initiatives. 24/7 LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >> RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering is join- ing other municipalities to ensure health and safety con- cerns are considered when placing wind turbines.

He spoke of Pickering’s unique history, such as its famous past residents including former Prime Minister John Diefen- baker and Tom Thompson of the Group of Seven, and the fact that Brougham, which is now the location of the federal lands, is the geographic centre of the city. In 2011, residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a number of new and enhanced activities, such as a youth film debut, a cul- tural caravan, a renowned Cana- dian headliner and the dedica- tion of 200 new citizens on Can- ada Day, reenactments and new events that will celebrate the roots of Pickering’s past, present and future. There will also be historical dis- plays in City facilities, badges for all organized sports teams, cer- tificates for residents celebrating milestones during the bicenten- nial and special merchandise. Sponsorship packages range from $1,000 to $25,000, featuring a number of branding opportu- nities. Enbridge Gas Distribution was the first company to sponsor the bicentennial, contributing $25,000.

All content copyright Bring repatriation pride to our Remembrance Day celebrations Though always tinged with a measure of sadness, it’s a sight that never fails to stir the soul. Huge flags bearing the maple leaf are held high, sometimes snapping smart- ly in the breeze to welcome home the fallen. Firefighters, police officers and other emergency personnel stand tall and erect, their vehicle’s emergency lights revolving silently. People young and old, civilian and military, moth- er, father, brother, sister, gather to pay respects, share a story, and watch the solemn procession unfold below on the Highway of Heroes. These gatherings have taken place more than 100 times in Durham Region since Canada sent its troops to Afghani- stan to rout the Taliban. Each fateful return home for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice has drawn growing numbers of patriotic citizens to overpasses throughout the region in a colourful, pride-filled dem- onstration of their respect and admira- tion. By participating in these sombre cer- emonies, residents across Durham Region have clearly demonstrated their resolute support of the men and women who have been dispatched to the other side of the world to fight for and protect a people living under a largely lawless regime. The bridge ceremonies are a tangi- ble and heartfelt demonstration of our patriotism. Pride percolates as the procession carrying the remains of fallen soldiers nears. There is both silence and sound. Tears and smiles. Salutes and sombre nods. Canadians have historically marked Remembrance Day in typically low- key fashion. But it’s clear that there is a growing recognition of pride and admi- ration for the efforts of our military per- sonnel around the globe. Let us resolve now to remember and reflect with greater focus and effort this Remembrance Day and in every successive Remembrance Day. Let us bring the bridge celebrations -- with all of their colour and energy and visceral pride -- to our classrooms, our ceno- taphs, our legions and our communi- ties and truly recognize the sacrifices, celebrate the successes and honour the fallen. Canada has sent thousands of its young citizens to various theatres of war in the last century. We have met our military obligations competently, compassionately and fairly. Every sol- dier is a hero. And every citizen owes them a debt of gratitude. Let us conspicuously celebrate our pride in their efforts and give them their due. Every year. On Remembrance Day. Following the G20 protests in Toronto from the safety of my Ajax living room, it seemed at times that protesters were pounding the keys on their BlackBerrys harder than they were pounding the pavement. On Saturday, I had CBC running in the background, but my attention was firmly on Twitter as hundreds of tweets tagged #g20 were posted every few minutes. They came from bloggers, journalists, protesters and bystanders riveted by the drama. In fact, social media allowed reporters to keep covering the action in ways they never could in the past. A prime example is the Globe and Mail’s Lisan Jutras, @lisan- jutras on Twitter. She was part of the group at Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue who were surrounded by police who used the kettling technique to squeeze them into an increasingly small space. The group was detained for about five hours on Sunday as the rain poured down and Ms. Jutras tweet- ed the miserable experience. “Things just got nuts. Not allowed out. Civil- ians not allowed out. Pushing has begun, they are squeezing us between 2 rows,” she wrote. The Globe published her series of tweets as an article which included photos she had snapped with her phone. And she wasn’t the only one. Hundreds of others with point-and-shoot digital camer- as and cell phones caught the action. “See you on YouTube,” yelled one amateur videographer at the police. Among the videos spread around the world was one of protesters singing O Canada in front of a police blockade. As they made their way through the national anthem, protesters went up to the police line and started staging an impromptu sit- in. Before they could get comfortable, the police charged, pushing the group back and the singing turned to squeals and screams. Videos of police grabbing and arrest- ing protesters also went online quickly and after-the-fact confessionals by people popped up as well. Meanwhile, police spread the word that they were looking for videos and images of protesters who smashed up the downtown, and more than a few who didn’t appreciate seeing their neighbourhoods turned into a riot zone likely complied. But the most iconic image of the G20 pro- test was that of a burning police cruiser on Queen Street West. It’s a powerful image because it implies a complete loss of con- trol by authorities and victory by anarchists. That wasn’t actually the case. Comparative- ly speaking the damage and rioting during Toronto’s G20 was mild and the fenced-off core was never threatened. If we think back to the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, a much larger crowd faced off against a smaller police force. Tear gas tinged the air kilome- tres from the central protesting area and the fence was breached on multiple occasions. But in terms of technology and social media, a lot has changed since 2001, and that image of a burning police car will stick in people’s minds more than anything that happened in Quebec. The fact that it was tweeted and shared over and over again adds to its power. -- Contact Ajax reporter Reka Szekely on Facebook, follow her on Twitter @rszekely or e-mail her at rszekely@durhamregion.com Power of social media harnessed by G20 protesters Reka Szekely du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 , 2 0 1 0 7 AP Regular Price:$560 You Save:$260 BUY FOR $200 www.WagJag.com Visit:www.wagjag.com TO PURCHASE THESE DEALSBEFORE TIME RUNS OUT Deals of the Day!

The trail takes one along residential roads around Frenchman’s Bay; don’t try to take a shortcut along the waterfront past West Shore Boulevard, it’s a dead end. Once you bike or hike back down the east side of the bay and reach the bottom of Liverpool Road, it’s along the board- walk where one can view the large OPG wind turbine. RESTROOMS -- There are limited oppor- tunities for a restroom break along the Pickering trail; restrooms can be found at the west side in Petticoat Creek Con- servation Area, but one won’t find another public washroom until reach- ing the east side of Frenchman’s Bay, with another facility at the foot of Liv- erpool Road (Millennium Square). PICNIC SPOTS -- The Pickering water- front trail offers a few spectacular areas for picnics; perhaps the most scenic is at the Petticoat Creek conservation area with another at the Frenchman’s Bay east park. One could also easily set up a pic- nic basket on the green- ery near the wind tur- bine at the eastern part of the trail. GRAB A BITE - - While there are great spots along the trail for picnics, if one doesn’t pack food it could be a hun- gry journey. However, there are some restaurants at the bottom of Liverpool Road including the quaint Waterfront Bistro overlooking the lake. PHOTO OP -- A pic- turesque view of the Pickering marina is afforded at the base of Liverpool Road, especially nice during sun- rise/sunset. Get- ting ‘underneath’ the OPG windmill fur- ther east from that point can also make a dramatic shot.

The Annual Great Waterfront Trail Adven- ture has a route of 720 kilometres along Lake Ontario and its greenways from Niagara-on- the-Lake to Rivière Beaudette, Quebec. The cyclists will make a number of stops along the way, including one in Pickering July 4. The adventure is organized by the Water- front Regeneration Trust and is designed to promote waterfront communities and busi- nesses, and a healthy, active lifestyle to the public. Last year Pickering played last-minute host to the cyclists when they bypassed their Toronto stop due to the City’s munic- ipal strike. Pickering waterfront committee chairwoman Ward 1 City Councillor Jen- nifer O’Connell had less than two weeks to prepare for the event, along with City staff. Riders explored Pickering, dining at local restaurants, working out and swimming at the Pickering Recreation Complex and were also treated to a movie, music, bike tune- ups, massages and light refreshments. They either camped out in the park or stayed at local hotels. “We were voted as one of the best over- nights on the ride,” Coun. O’Connell said in an interview. It ended up being so successful that Pickering became a destination spot this time. The riders will this year see the same fea- tures as last time, and will be treated to a bonfire complete with music. The adventure is also good for business in the communities, generating around $64,000 in hotel overnights, $70,000 in food and $3,500 in campground revenue, accord- ing to Marlene Koehler, the trust’s executive director. Shuttle buses will give riders a break from their bikes and take them to the Comfort Inn if they want a hotel, and to Millennium Square on Liverpool Road where they can dine in the local restaurants and shop at the local stores. Bay Cycle will also set up shop at Espla- nade Park to provide free bike tune-ups and sell merchandise. As a result of the welcomed business, Coun. O’Connell has managed to raise 100 per cent of the funds needed to run the event. “This is all sponsorship - no taxpayer money,” she said. At dusk, sometime after 9 p.m., cyclists will be invited to watch a free outdoor movie behind the Recreation Complex and the community is encouraged to join them.

Lawn arden Advertising FeatureG&Home, Summertime Style: (NC)—Nothing is more relaxing than a breath of fresh air, which is likely the reason why the lines between indoors and out have blurred immensely. More and more home- owners are moving their living rooms outside to well-appointed patios and decks, furnish- ing these spaces with all the comforts of their favourite indoor gathering spaces. In fact, research shows homebuilders are now incorporating two- and three-sided outdoor rooms into home plans. Manufacturers too are addressing the trend by providing a wide array of products designed for outdoor living, giving homeowners nearly as many choices to decorate their outdoor living rooms as those inside their homes – including furniture, textiles, lighting, grills and even WiFi-enabled outdoor entertainment systems. “Homeowners are spending as much time and effort on outdoor living projects as they do indoor decorating endeavors,” notes Denise Patterson, product manager for Krylon, the nation’s leader in spray paint. “With the summer season upon us, now’s the time to freshen up outdoor living spaces and make them ‘relaxation ready’ for the warm months of fun.” Pep it up with paint One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to spruce up an outdoor area is by re- furbishing existing furniture and other pieces with spray paint. While you want furniture to look stylish, you also want something that is easy to clean and maintain, and holds up against the elements like rain, heat and sunlight. No one wants freshly painted furniture to fade, chip or rust before the season ends. From wicker furniture and patio tables, to pottery and planters, Krylon’s Outdoor Spac- es line of spray ﬁ nishes offers a wide range of durable, yet contemporary colours that can easily help you achieve sophisticated looks with the convenience of spray paint. Because Create a relaxing outdoor haven homeowners are looking for more than just basic colours, they’re available in several new, vibrant and exciting hues including poppy, ivy, ocean and sunlight. Lighten up with fabric and lighting Once your painting projects are complete, accent your bold colour choices with unique and interesting cushions and throw pillows made from stain- and mildew-resistant fabrics. Also keep in mind, your new furniture colours and coordinating cushions will “pop” and look brighter with the right kind of outdoor lighting.

He leaves it up to his fans. In an interview, the singer was asked if he knew 1977’s Bat Out of Hell would be so big. “That’s impossible to say, figuring that stuff out,” he says. “The one thing I did know is that whenever we played the songs, people responded. That’s really how I’ve judged albums that I’ve done.” He took the same approach to I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That), off Bat out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, judging it by the small-town New York State audience’s response: “The place went nuts.” So, when he was recording his most recent album, Hang Cool Teddy Bear, and guitarist Brian May called one day, asking if he could come by with his 22-year-old daughter and her boyfriend, Meat saw it as an opportunity to get a young person’s reaction to the track Los Angeloser, which he thought might appeal to a younger demo- graphic. When she responded, ‘Oh, I love that’, he saw it as a ringing endorsement. The singer comes to Oshawa July 6 for an 8 p.m. concert at the General Motors Centre. He’s in the midst of rehearsals and says his legendary voice is suffering a bit today. “My voice was intended really and truly and honestly to sing opera, that’s the voice that I have,” he says. “Opera singers might do three shows a month and I’m doing, what, 30 shows in two months.” Even in rehearsals, he says, “I don’t hold back.” Meat’s in a bit of a defensive mood after reading some reviews of the album. He’s read that he set out to remake Bat Out of Hell and that he had to enlist some high-profile names, such as ace guitarist Steve Vai, to bolster the record. In fact, Meat says they’re friends (he’s known Vai since the 1980s) and that the other star appearances on the album came about very naturally. As for remaking Bat, he says the intention was to purposely not do anything that resembles Jim Steinman-type material (his former songwriting partner). “This is Meat Loaf,” he says of the album. “This is what Meat Loaf was like before Jim Steinman. This is what Meat Loaf is like now. I’ve always been over the top. “The songs on this new record, they’re spectacular songs, and I don’t care what anybody writes or says.” Even in the world of rock ‘n’ roll rebels, Meat says he’s always been considered an outsider. “In 1977, the music biz, before Bat Out of Hell came out, said, ‘You don’t belong here; we don’t want you here.’” He had a hard time making a record deal to distribute Bat. And while music executives fretted that the songs didn’t really resemble anything else, when it came out, the fans made their choice. Bat Out of Hell has sold more than 40 million copies and was on the charts for almost a decade. Even today, 33 years after its release, it sells more than 200,000 copies a year. While the Bat Out of Hell trilogy made Meat Loaf famous, all but die-hard fans might be surprised to learn that he’s released eight other studio albums, with several of them going Gold or Platinum in Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. When he says he’s always been theatrical, Meat means it. Acting was an interest while he was still a high school student in Texas, and he’s appeared in numerous movies and TV shows, starting with the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975. Speaking of Rocky Horror, he says fans can look forward to “a really cool arrangement of Hot Patootie” during the tour. He’ll also play Bat Out of Hell and Paradise By the Dashboard Light and four or five tunes off Hang Cool, including Los Angeloser. Meat also plans to do a song he wrote when he was 13 years old. But he plays coy when asked what it’s called. Tickets for the show are available at the General Motors Centre Box Office, by phone at 1-877-436-8811, online at www.general- motorscentre.com, or at the United Way Information Kiosk at the Oshawa Centre. Hotel Royal takes the crown DURHAM -- Hotel Royal took the Bandwarz Cup earlier this month, raking in a lot of loot for winning the 17th Bandwarz contest. Eight groups gave it their all at the battle-of-the-bands final showcase, held at The Music Scene in Whitby, with The Kar- diak Kids from Whitby finishing second and Oshawa-based Viva Mars placing third. “Playing Bandwarz was a great experience for all of us, there is a great number of local talent, and it’s a great way of bringing bands together,” said Hotel Royal lead singer Chris Hepburn in a press release. “We want to thank everyone who came out to see us play at this year’s Bandwarz. Without the support, this would not be possible.” As the 2010 title holder, Hotel Royal received $1,000 in cash, a recording package from The Music Scene, a photo package from D.D.P Studios and other prizes.

Meat on the defensive Whitby band is the Bandwarz 2010 champion On a hot July afternoon, there’s no better place to take a cooling walk than along the Waterfront Trail, a 900-kilometre foot-and-cycle path that follows Lake Ontario’s north shore. Some of the most attractive stretches of trail wind through Dur- ham Region, past bluffs and marsh- es, along beaches and boardwalks. The Great Waterfront Trail Adven- ture, July 3 to 10, is an end-to-end bike tour that passes through Dur- ham Region on July 5. But you don’t need to wait for the big event to explore some of the gems along the trail. A Victorian afternoon tea is one of the unexpected pleasures on the Oshawa section of the trail at the foot of Simcoe Street in Lakev- iew Park, also home to the Oshawa Community Museum, a collection of three historic homes restored to depict early European settlement. The Victorian teas served at 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays during July and August have proved so popular that reservations are essential. 905-436- 7624, www.oshawamuseum.org. Whitby’s Intrepid Park at the foot of Boundary Road, seems decep- tively tranquil on a July afternoon. But look closer and you’ll discover clues to Canada’s Second World War secret. Pieces of melted metal from practice explosions and erod- ed bricks from old buildings washed up along the shore are remnants of Camp X, where agents were trained to parachute into Nazi-occupied territory.

Alex Robertson Park at the foot of Sandy Beach Road in Pickering is both a waterfront park and a natural art gallery, home to sculp- tures by Pickering sculptor Dors- ey James. The most prominent is Home Place, a series of works that conjure up the spirit of community. Especially charming, and almost hidden from view, are faces carved into trees. www.homeplace.ca.

With her five-year-old daugh- ter, Estella, looking on no more than 10 feet away, Pym was being attended to after breaking her ankle and fibula, and tear- ing every ligament from her knee down to her toes while playing roller derby with the Death Track Dolls in Toronto. There was much more at stake here than not playing the game again. A single mom who was 31 at the time, Pym’s life and career flashed before her eyes. She had just started her own dog-groom- ing business, which she knew she couldn’t continue on one good leg. So when they wheeled her off the floor on a stretcher, there was no ‘I’m OK’ kind of wave to reas- sure the spectators. Just tears, plenty of tears. That was two years ago. Today, not only is Pym, or ‘Bonesy’ as she is known by her teammates, back on her feet, but she credits roller derby as helping put everything right again. She did indeed lose her busi- ness, but has since started it up again, and is planning to move from Toronto back to Whitby, where she grew up and lived most of her life. Part of the reason she wants to return home is the other ven- ture she has embarked on -- the founding of Durham Region Roll- er Derby. “After a year of being off, it was pretty intimidating to me and I was still dealing with a lot of rehab. I felt like I wasn’t ever going to feel comfortable with it,” says Pym, who was ponder- ing a return to play in the Toronto league she had joined in 2006. “I thought that I could give it a sec- ond go by starting a new league, starting at the bottom with every- body, and kind of getting myself comfortable in my skates again.” It’s proven to be invaluable therapy, not only for herself, but also for the 22 others who join her regularly for Tuesday night practices at Coachlite Roller Gar- dens in downtown Oshawa. There’s no more compelling story than that of Lisa Fuller, the lone grandmother in the bunch. A 39-year-old Hampton resi- dent who had been active in sports her entire life, Fuller expe- rienced a tingling sensation in her arm in the summer of 2007, which soon led to a total break- down of her nervous system and knocked her off her feet for sever- al months. While doctors are still at a loss to fully explain what happened, Fuller was given the OK to give roller derby a shot, so she put on the skates for the first time in 20 years. “I thought to myself, you know what, I might have something, but it’s not going to have me,” says Fuller, who is still recovering. “I still have issues with the right side of my body, but the skates kind of compensate for that. If I wanted to run across a field, I couldn’t because I would trip but, in this respect, the wheels do the work for you.” Closer to the other end of the age scale is Jessica Johnston, a 23-year-old Oshawa resident who goes by ‘Reject Barbie’ in this crowd. She’s different from Fuller also in that she has no sports back- ground, and really had never stuck to anything for longer than the seven months she’s now given roller derby. “I just hit a point where I need- ed something new so I ended up here,” says Johnston, who learned of roller derby through Facebook and thought it would help her get over a breakup with her boyfriend. “I went with no one because none of my friends would go with me. I entered this thing alone and made lots of friends, so it worked out great.” • • • This is not the roller derby some may recall in the 1970s. In fact, mention the name Gwen ‘Skinny Minnie’ Miller to Pym, and she rolls her eyes. Yes, she’s heard of the former star player of the L.A. Thunderbirds, but only because so many others before have mentioned her name. “Everybody says, ‘Do you know Skinny Minnie Miller?’ Every- body. And I don’t. I know of her. I tried to Google her, but it doesn’t really interest me,” says Pym. “It’s a whole different roller derby.” Indeed, there’s no punching or wildly throwing an opponent over the rails in the latest incarna- tion of the sport, which Pym says is popping up all over the world, and includes about seven leagues in Ontario right now -- although it’s pretty much a female phe- nomenon. Each game, or bout, involves two half-hour periods, where jammers and blockers skate in a counter-clockwise direction in a series of two-minute jams. Each team’s jammer wears a star on her helmet and tries to break through the pack to score the points. Pym’s plan for Durham involves running a training camp through the end of August, then break- ing into a two-team league thor- ough December. The best of the players will comprise the Classy Trashy Roller Girls, a travelling team which has a game planned for Aug. 21 at Downsview Park. The sport is not for everyone, make no mistake, and it certainly can be dangerous. Covered only by knee, elbow, wrist and mouth guards, along with their helmets, the players also need to carry a certain mentality. “Fearless,” is the first word that comes to mind for Pym. “It takes a lot of fearlessness. You’ve got to have a lot of guts.” More than anything, though, the sport offers these women a chance to escape for a bit -- the majority are mothers with young children -- and hang out with a family of a different sort. “We’re all spread out and it’s so neat how we all connect over this one sport,” says Johnston. “It doesn’t matter how old you are, or whatever, we all just get along and have fun.” Fuller concurs. “We’re all moms and we all have different life stories, and we’re all within sort of the same age group,” she says. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s mom’s night out.” ROLLER DERBY ‘It’s mom’s night out’ SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Rebecca Pym, president of Durham Region Roller Derby, takes the inside track to pass dur- ing a practice at Coachlite Roller Gardens.

In what proved to be the defensive battle to end all battles against the Cumberland Panthers, the Dolphins returned home victorious with a 12-10 win. The defensive core of both the Dolphins and the Panthers held their ground and allowed no forward yardage. With less than a minute left in the game, and the Dolphins down 10-6, Cumberland main- tained the ball deep within Pickering’s zone. With a defensive surge, Cumber- land’s quarterback did not get a picture perfect pass away due to a brilliant inter- ception by ‘Phins corner Josh Small. With 28 seconds remaining on the clock, the ‘Phins took it into the end zone for six. Scoring victory for the Dolphins were run- ning back Demetrius McFarquhar and wide receiver Anthony Thomas.

The roster includes pitcher Evan Grills, of Whitby, a 10th-round pick of the Houston Astros, pitcher Brian Smith, of Pickering, who was selected in the 40th round by the Chicago Cubs, outfielder Philip Diedrick, of Pickering, picked in the 45th round by the Toronto Blue Jays, and Uxbridge’s Chris Robinson, a catcher who is off to Winthrop University in the fall. The coaching staff will include pitcher Chris Begg, an Uxbridge resident who was signed as a free agent by the San Francis- co Giants and reached the triple-A level. He also represented Canada at a number of international events during his career, including the World Cup of Baseball and the Olympic Games. He will be joined by former major leaguer Paul Quantrill, of Port Hope, who pitched for a number of teams in the major leagues, including the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Quantrill was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame on June 19. The team will convene in Toronto for some brief training sessions before begin- ning the first leg of the tour, starting in northeastern United States. At the championship in Thunder Bay, the junior team will be placed in a pool with Cuba, the Czech Republic, Panama, the Netherlands and Korea. BASEBALL Pickering duo invited for summer junior tour PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Let Diamond Shine Protect Your Vehicle This Summer It’s finally summer, and while you may have long forgotten about snow, slush and salt, your vehicle certainly hasn’t! While salt is great for melting ice and making roads safer during the winter months, it can wreak havoc on your vehicle if it’s not removed. In addition to causing rust on the exterior, it can also damage the interior. Salt stains hurt the carpeting and upholstery, discolouring it and breaking down the fibres, causing it to wear away. Having the interior of your vehicle shampooed by Diamond Shine can prevent this and keep your vehicle looking new! A professional cleaning will also eliminate odours and bacteria. Whether you have pets in your vehicle or are trekking sand (and sand bugs) inside from a day at the beach, your vehicle may be full of all kinds of bacteria. Keep your kids healthy by bringing your vehicle into Diamond Shine for a full detailing! The staff at Diamond Shine hope you had a fantastic Canada Day, and to help you keep the celebration going, Diamond Shine is offering all of their customers a great deal! For the month of July only, customers who bring in this article will receive a free engine shampoo (a $45 value!) with any interior shampoo! Don’t forget your vehicle’s exterior! Bring your vehicle in for an exterior waxing and buffing to protect it from the elements and keep it shining all summer long! Diamond Shine offers a package that fits every budget, from a hand wash starting at just $19.95 to complete detailing. The vehicle is hand washed, using high quality soap, and hand dried with a chamois to achieve a brilliant shine. The difference can be seen in the details! To avoid disappointment, make sure you call to book your appointment today! “We want to thank everyone for putting their trust in us for the past 15 years, including both our loyal customers and the many dealers in the area,” says Joanne. Diamond Shine is a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Durham Region since 1994. Diamond Shine is located at 221 Westney Rd. S., in Ajax (just north of Bayly and directly across from the Super 8 Motel). For more information or to book an appointment please call (905) 619-2899, or visit the website at www.diamondshine.ca.
