With Petticoat Creek pool closed this summer, local residents are going elsewhere to beat the heat. No relief from heat at Petticoat Creek New facility to open for 2011 swimming season KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Residents will have to swim in their own backyard pools or head toward the lake if they want to cool off outdoors in Pickering this summer. The Toronto and Region Conservation said in a press release that access to the pool at Pet- ticoat Creek Conservation Area in Pickering is closed this season due to construction and will open for the 2011 swimming season. Last year, the TRCA was thrilled to announce the renovation of the longtime Pickering sum- mer staple, thanks to multi-million dollar gov- ernment funding, specifically from the Recre- ational Infrastructure Canada in Ontario and Ontario Recreation Programs.

It was only the fourth time on the water for the father and son when they found them- selves stranded 1.5 miles off the Whitby coast at about 2:30 p.m. on July 27. “The boat started vibrating quite heavily so we anchored up to go have a look and we noticed there was lots of water coming in from the back of the engine,” said Mr. Reynolds, who moved to Ajax from England a month ago and just purchased the boat last week. “We started scooping the water out but it wouldn’t come out as fast as we needed.” A distress signal was sent out to rescue crews as the pair attempted to bail out more than a foot of water from the back of the boat. The Toronto marine unit, the Trenton marine unit, Durham Regional Police and Whitby Fire and Emergency Services were all involved in the rescue effort. Two boats were sent to the scene, according to Constable Mark Williams of Toronto Police Services. “The boat was taking on water. They pumped it out. The Cobourg Coast Guard attended the scene and towed the ves- sel back to Whitby,” Const. Wil- liams said. Dave Selby, spokesman for Durham Regional Police, said the Toronto service was called because Durham’s boat wasn’t in the water. Mr. Reynolds and his son were out on the lake for a total of about three hours and waited about 20 minutes to be rescued. “I was shaking a lot,” said Connor, 10, explaining how he jumped to action helping his father use a bucket to unload the water. The experience won’t stop him from returning out on a boat again though, he added. “I think I’m going to be alright as long as that boat has had a good checkup to make sure it’s OK because ... it was quite nerve-wracking.” Both wanted to thank the res- cue crews for responding so quickly and ensuring their safe return to shore. “Without those guys, you wouldn’t be seeing that boat here,” said Mr. Reynolds. “You’d be seeing that boat at the bottom of the water so we’re very, very fortunate.” WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com With files from Keith Gilligan RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND WHITBY -- David Reynolds and his son Connor got an escort into Whitby Harbour from the Canadian Coast Guard after their boat starting taking on water. The Ajax residents were out for an afternoon of boating on Lake Ontario when they experienced problems. Eighteen year old charged after July 8 incident PICKERING -- Durham police have arrested an 18-year-old Pickering man in connection with a street-level robbery in early July. On Thursday, July 8 at around 3:15 a.m. two 17- year-old girls walking on Steeple Hill near Kingston Road were approached by a man, who told them to remain calm and revealed a handgun tucked into his pants, police say. The suspect demand- ed money from them, but when he discovered the teenage girls had no money, he fled the scene, and there were no inju- ries, police say. The police street level robbery unit arrested a man without incident at his residence on July 22 as a result of the ongoing investigation. William Shoniker, of Rouge Valley Drive in Pickering, is charged with two counts each of rob- bery, firearm use in com- mission of an offence, weapons dangerous and carrying a concealed weapon. He was held for a bail hearing. The weapon used in the incident hasn’t been recovered. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 0 3 AP We Guarantee the HIGHEST Prices Paid for Gold in Canada!

Animal cruelty investiga- tor Debby Houghton said the dogs were discovered in a north Oshawa barn, after officials “received some information” about the property. “The dogs were starv- ing and covered in feces and urine when they were found,” Ms. Houghton said. “There was no natural light in the barn, the windows were covered in cobwebs.” The dogs -- which include a golden doodle, chihua- hua, standard poodle, lab- radoodle, golden retriever and terrier -- were likely being used for breeding, Ms. Houghton says. All 17 dogs were surren- dered by their owner. After the animals were examined, it was discovered most suf- fered from lice, eye infec- tions and ear infections. An investigation is under- way, but no charges have been laid. Officials don’t know how long the dogs were in the barn, but if their reaction to the outside world is any indication, it was a while. “When some of the dogs got outside, they were squinting as if they hadn’t seen sunlight in a long time,” Ms. Houghton said. “They’re very timid and afraid, they don’t know how to be around people.” The dogs are currently in the care of the Durham Humane Society, but none of them are being kept at the temporary Oshawa shelter. Ten are at animal services locations in Brampton and Uxbridge and the rest are in temporary foster homes. All the dogs will soon be available for adoption, but Ms. Houghton cautions that they will need special care, because they aren’t used to being around people and aren’t house trained. Anyone interested in adopting one of the dogs can contact the society at 905-433-2022.

The noticeable stench and visible algae turn most people away from the thought of taking a refreshing swim on a hot day in this Great Lake. But children are children and where there’s water, they will play. As we near the end of July, more of Durham’s beaches are begin- ning to face elevated levels of E. coli and other bacteria, making them unsafe for swimming or bathing. This is normal, said a public health inspector with Durham Region. “As we move through the sum- mer, as the water heats up, as we have heavy rainfall events, things like that, you will see more and more beaches posted,” said Mike Pittman, a senior public health inspector with the Region. “At the beginning of the season, they’re probably all open and looking good. As we move through the summer into August, you’ll proba- bly see the majority of them posted at one time or another.” Students working in the public health department over the sum- mer conduct weekly testing at all 14 Durham beaches. “So we go out about 15 metres into the water, usually between knee and hip height and then we use our reaching poles to get a further sample of the water,” said Nadia Kyerematen. “We measure about 15 to 30 centimetres below the water and there is a specif- ic type of pattern that we need to do it in. It’s not just go collect and come back. There’s specific ways we need to do it to make sure we get an accurate sample.” Each beach is separated into five sections, allowing for a more accu- rate reading than taking just one sample. The results are posted online on Friday and a sign is also posted on the beach if it has been deemed unsafe for swimming or bathing. However, many residents enjoy- ing the sun at Lakeview Beach in Oshawa recently had a hard time spotting the sign. “There are none as far as I can see,” said Gail Gushue, who brought her granddaughters to the beach. “I’ve just come right from the car, didn’t see one sign, not a sign anywhere ... Absolutely should be more prominent. Then you can make your own decision as to whether you’re swimming or not.” Even so, once they found out the beach was posted, not many par- ents, babysitters or grandparents were too worried about it. “I’m not concerned about it. I can take them home and we’ll bath them, put them in the show- er, they’ll be fine,” said Shelley Phil- lips, a babysitter. “She’ll be fine swimming in the water,” said Mrs. Gushue of her eldest granddaughter. “She’s not drinking it, she’s being very careful and staying in the shallow end so she’s okay.” In Ontario, the Province has high- er standards of acceptable levels of E. coli and other bacteria than in other provinces and even in other countries. “In Ontario, the level is 100 E. coli per sample, in Canada it’s actually 200,” said Mr. Pittman. “There are places in Europe that will accept 500 and even 1,000 E. coli. So our standards in Ontario are quite stringent.” The Region also cautions people against swimming in area beach- es after a heavy rainfall as there is likely to be a higher presence of E. coli within the first 48 hours after the rain has fallen. “A lot of animal feces or dirt from the roadways and things like that gets washed into the lakes and it ends up elevating the E. coli levels,” said Mr. Pittman. “So after a heavy rainfall event, we advise people to wait about 48 hours before they go into the water. Also on windy days when the water is being stirred up a lot because of wave action. If you go into the water to your waist and you cannot see your feet, we advise you not to swim. Just because there’s a lot of turbidity and again the E. coli levels will be quite high.” Residents are encouraged to visit the Region’s site before heading out to area beaches. The sample results are also posted on durham- region.com every Friday.

SUMMER SAFETY Enjoy the thrill of the grill safely Home barbecues can be fire hazards warn Durham officials JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Summer’s here and the time is right for grilling up some meat. But take care if you’re cooking with gas. Propane is highly com- bustible and it’s important to be sure you’re barbecuing safely, Durham fire officials warn. That includes checking both the equipment you’re using -- your barbecue and propane con- tainer -- and following simple safety procedures, they say. “Regular maintenance, fire prevention and early detection are key to the safe use of pro- pane tanks,” said Shawna Coul- ter, public education officer with Whitby Fire and Emergency Ser- vices. Home barbecues and propane tanks bring with them the poten- tial for fires and injury. Ms. Coul- ter said the Whitby fire depart- ment responds to an average of eight to 15 calls a year related either to propane tank and bar- becue fires, or incidents in which propane tanks have been com- promised in a fire or caused fire to spread as a result of improper storage. Whitby fire responded recent- ly to a call in which a deck was damaged in a blaze linked to a barbecue. And on July 19, Ajax firefighters had a call on Hum- phrey Drive in which a person sustained burns in a flash fire while grilling. Ajax Chief Fire Prevention Offi- cer Keith Doucette said the bar- becue, which was less than a month old, caught fire soon after the owner had changed propane tanks and lit the burner. The owner sustained burns to his arm and a neighbour rushed in to extinguish the blaze, he said. The fire didn’t spread beyond the barbecue. The grill has been sent to the Technical Standards and Safety Association for testing for design flaws, but it’s also possible there was a problem with the way in which it was assembled, Mr. Doucette said. Such calls are not out of the ordinary, especially during the summer, he said. “We do get a number of them,” Mr. Doucette said. “It’s not too common, but it’s something that happens.” Fire officials recommend that backyard chefs regularly check their barbecues and tanks for propane leaks and perform maintenance, including clean- ing grills and taking care when lighting them. FAST FACTS OF GRILLING Enjoy yourself while barbecuing this summer, but be sure to stay safe. Whitby Fire public education officer Shawna Coulter provided these tips: • Take the time now to inspect your barbecue and propane tank. Make sure all parts of burners are clear of rust, dirt, cobwebs and blockages. Check that the hose is in good condition. Check for signs of damage, cracks or loose connections. A damaged or cracked hose can send out a jet of propane that, if ignited, could result in a flame several feet long. • Check cylinder connections and hoses for leaks by brushing a 50/50 mix of liquid soap and water onto all connec- tions and hoses. Rising bubbles when you turn on the valve indicate a leak. Tighten connections or repair the hose until there are no bubbles. • It is better to be cautious by replac- ing parts you are concerned about. Parts for barbecues are readily available at most hardware stores. Propane cylin- ders must be inspected and requalified or replaced every 10 years. • If you are uncomfortable perform- ing safety checks and repairing or replac- ing components, contact a certified fuel appliance repair person. Check the Yel- low Pages or call TSSA at 416-734-3300 or 1877-682-8772. • Damaged bottles must be safely disposed of. This can be done at the Durham Region transfer station which is equipped to handle hazardous material. The transfer station is located on Ritson Road north of Taunton Road in Oshawa. • Proper placement of barbecues and tanks are important to preventing a fire and from limiting the damage it may cause to your home or property should one start. Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outdoors. Indoor usage in garages, sheds and homes not only represent a serious fire risk but also cause the build-up of potential fatal levels of carbon monoxide, an odourless, colourless and tasteless gas. Barbecues should be placed well away from the home, deck and railings, and out from under eaves. • Propane tanks should never be stored in the home or attached garage. Outdoor sheds are preferred with ventila- tion. Transport a propane cylinder safely by placing it in a secure, upright position with the safety valve on top. • Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. Never throw water on a grease fire; this can cause the fire to grow and splatter, causing severe burns. METROLAND DURHAM-- Propane tanks should be inspected for leaks as part of barbecue safety prepa- rations. Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 0 6 AP & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m POLITICS There’s a reason that ‘progressive’ was dropped from Conservative badge To the editor: With respect to Mr. Toews’ recent visit to Pickering campaigning for the federal Conservative candidate, I was surprised to read that he said, “for the last 40 years, the government has put the rehabilitation of offenders first and public safety second,” and sees no correlation between a drop- ping crime rate and rehabilitation efforts. A logical person would think that treat- ing an infection with antibiotics, thereby assisting with healing, is a much better tac- tic than ignoring the infection and then having a person end up in the hospital with huge costs being borne by taxpayers. The two-for-one offset for time served originates in the deplorable state of our jails and not in a policy of rehabilitation. Perhaps more funding from the feds for additional court, health and social servic- es would be a wiser use of taxpayer money than building more prisons. The party dropped “Progressive” from their name for a reason that is becoming more obvious the longer they are in power. Sharon Powell Ajax GOOD SAMARITAN Kindness to a stranger is appreciated To the editor: On July 9, I had gone to the TD ABM at 375 Kingston Rd. to make a withdrawal. No money came out yet it withdrew from my account. My first impulse was to call the number on the ABM but I didn’t have my cellphone with me. The drycleaners next door was open, so I asked if I could borrow their phone, and without hesitation the man handed me the phone. As he heard me telling my husband what happened, the man went into his own pocket and wanted to give me the money that I tried to withdraw. He said I could pay him later. I have never been into this dry- cleaners, and here was this man helping a complete stranger. I was just taken aback at the gesture and the kindness that still exists in some people. I just wanted to share my story as all we hear are the bad things that happen in this world. I most certainly will be taking my drycleaning to Atlantis Dry Cleaners in the future. Vicky Cunningham Pickering BIG PIPE Don’t residents make decisions in a democracy? To the editor: Am I the only one who has noticed recently that the York-Durham sanitary sewage expansion directly contradicts the concept of democracy? Pickering residents are opposed to the pipe, and rightly so. This pipe will pump almost one billion litres of York Region’s raw sewage per day through our town. Yet despite the fact that Pickering residents are so opposed to the Big Pipe, it is still going to be built. I ask, why? Don’t teenagers like me learn in civ- ics class that in Canada the citizens are the ones who make the decisions through democracy? If so, then why are so many dissenting voices simply ignored by the powers that be? I for one am opposed to a billion litres per day of someone else’s raw sewage flow- ing underneath our lovely homes, parks and streets. I encourage everyone reading this letter to take only half an hour out of their day to write a letter or e-mail to the Durham Regional council, urging them to withdraw their support for the Big Pipe. Together, we can make our voices heard and save our community from another region’s unwanted wastes. After all, isn’t that what democracy is all about?

Such is the case at a number of beaches along the Lake Ontario shore in Durham Region that have been posted as safe for swimming, but which don’t attract many residents into the lake. And as the summer wears on and bacteria levels climb due to warmer water, rainfall runoff and other fac- tors, fewer beaches are expected to remain open for swimmers. The region is home to a host of wonder- fully scenic and welcoming waterfront parks and green areas that draw residents in great numbers. But past years of poor water stewardship, a stubborn reputation for high pollution levels in Lake Ontar- io and the lure of cleaner water in cottage country led to local beaches being vastly under-used. Better oversight and atten- tion in recent years, collective efforts to reduce pollution and mitigate the effects of harmful runoff have given some cause for optimism, reflected in more days in which beaches are ‘open’ for swimming. For their part, Durham health officials dutifully and carefully test the water at local beaches on a weekly basis, collect- ing samples and measuring E. coli bacteria counts to determine if individual beaches are safe for swimming. Residents in Durham can enjoy the very best that summer has to offer right here at home. Check the weekly statistics posted by Durham Region officials to see if your local beach is posted as safe for swimming and make an effort to experience true waterfront fun and frolic. As well, this paper also posts beach results every Friday and you can check out the map listing all local beaches at dur- hamregion.com And take the opportunity to engage your neighbours and friends in making Dur- ham’s beaches a more popular local des- tination. Greater awareness and participa- tion among residents will encourage great- er oversight and promote improved stew- ardship of Durham Region’s waterfront areas. From Pickering to Clarington, Durham residents have an impressive choice of community waterfront areas to visit and experience. Pack a lunch, take a chair, invite friends and family and test drive one of the local beaches. You’ll likely be surprised at the pristine beauty of the greenspaces, the peaceful splendour of the shade trees and the hot sand of the local beach. It’s not often that one can make this sug- gestion and feel good about it: Go jump in the lake! -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group From page 1 Fears were swarming in the com- munity prior to the announcement that the pool might shut down due to outdated mechanics and infra- structure. The TRCA had anticipated open- ing the pool by summer 2010, but those plans have been delayed, partly due to discussions surround- ing possible partnership opportu- nities with the City of Pickering. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bon- nie Littley, who sits on the TRCA board and its audit committee, said although the City hasn’t com- mitted to a financial partnership, the conservation authority has decided to go ahead with the proj- ect itself, but may still seek funding from Pickering. “I think we should look at par- ticipating financially in that proj- ect because it does benefit the resi- dents of Pickering,” she said. Coun. Littley said there are some opportunities for Pickering if it chooses to invest, such as convert- ing some of TRCA’s nearby table- land to soccer pitches. “We’re turning 500 kids away a year for soccer,” she said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean noted the expansion is positive, but said at the time of the project announcement, the TRCA “forgot to mention that they want- ed a million dollars from the City. “I’m not averse to it but there has to be more discussion on it,” he said. Petticoat is Pickering’s only out- door pool. The Pickering Recre- ation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., has an indoor pool and the other City pool is located at Dun- barton High School, 655 Sheppard Ave. E. There’s also a splash pad at Mil- lennium Square Park, at the foot of Liverpool Road. When Petticoat reopens, the new facility will include an aquatic play- ground including sprayers, buck- ets, cannons, ladders, stairs and sunning decks with cooling mist tubes. It will accommodate more than 800 swimmers at a time. The play facility and pool will use green technologies such as energy- efficient components and water conservation techniques. Crews are demolishing the exist- ing pool, plumbing and mechani- cal infrastructure. The redevelopment will include regrading and earth work, a new deck, renovations to the wash- rooms and other facilities, includ- ing landscaping and a snack bar. TRCA spokeswoman Rowena Calpito said the entrance fee to the new facility is not expected to change and should remain at $3.75. Pickering swimming rates and hours can be found online or by calling the rec complex.

Teenager earning his pilot’s licence through Air Cadet program KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- While some high school students might take off during the summer, Boris Dyakov does it literal- ly. The 17-year-old Claremont resident is working toward getting his pilot’s licence through a Power Pilot Schol- arship program offered by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. It’s the second straight summer the flight sergeant has taken to the air. He earned his glider’s licence last summer, taking a six- week course at Trenton. This year, he’s in the pro- cess of getting a seven-week course in Windsor and at the end, he’ll be licensed by Transport Canada as a pri- vate pilot. A member of 856 Squadron of the Air Cadets in Pickering, Boris recently completed his first solo flight, flying a Cess- na 172 Skyhawk. He admits to being a lit- tle nervous before his solo, but adds, “I think I was pret- ty well prepared for it. I had good instructors. It was very exciting, nonetheless.” He began flying shortly after arriving in Windsor in late June. Following a few hours of dual instruction, it was time for his solo. Accord- ing to Captain Steve Ste- phenson, the group’s senior supervisory officer, Boris was able to take off and land without aid or instruction. Cadets won’t get to bask in the glow of their achieve- ment for long though, Capt. Stephenson says. Following a quick check ride with their instructors, the cadets were sent right back up to do it all over again. Todd Johnson, the chief flying instructor with the Windsor Flying Club, says, “These guys are amazing people. The club members and the instructors are very impressed with how much material they’ve been able to absorb in such a short period of time.” Boris is one of 77 cadets chosen to take part in the program. Capt. Stephen- son notes, “The cadets go through a screening pro- cess prior to selection that includes school marks, inter- views and aviation related examinations.” About 200 cadets take part in the Power Pilot Scholar- ship program each year and it’s funded by the Depart- ment of National Defense. There is no obligation for the cadets to join the Canadian Forces but many do. Boris joined the air cadets because “I heard you can get a pilot’s licence for free. In Grade 7, I looked it up and found it. I’ve been doing it ever since.” As for a career in the mili- tary, “I’m considering it as an option, but not as a pilot. It’s an idea right now. I’m not thinking of a career as a pilot. It’s more of a hobby thing.” He’s going into Grade 12 at Brebeuf College in Toronto. He’s eyeing taking sciences or engineering at university. “That’s where I’m heading right now.” He arrived in Windsor on June 27 and will be there for seven weeks, return- ing home on Aug. 13. While there, the cadets are stay- ing at a St. Clair College resi- dence. They’re on a scholar- ship, which includes room and board, and meals, as well as a $10 a day per diem. He did his solo in a Cessna 172 airplane. “It’s the most popular, most produced plane in the world. It’s what people train in because it’s the most popular.” As for moving up in air- craft, he says, “I would like to eventually.” When he returns home, he expects to fly Cessnas out of the Oshawa airport. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 0 9 P CADETS Pickering youth soars to new heights SUBMITTED PHOTO WINDSOR -- Air cadet Boris Dyakov, from Pickering, shook hands with his flight instructor, Bill Crosby, after completing his first solo flight. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 9 , 2 0 1 0 10 P BUSINESS Pickering-based eco program expanding Green initiative celebrates 100th member, gains international members KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It’s time for com- panies to get green and get mov- ing, says a local business owner. “Do something today, not tomorrow,” said Neil Samson, co- owner of Monarch Kitchen and Bath Centre in Pickering. Monarch, a contracting com- pany that installs kitchens and bathrooms, was the first business to join Durham Sustain Ability’s EcoBusiness program in 2007. DSA is a Durham-wide, non- profit organization that helps communities, schools, business- es and individuals become more sustainable. The EcoBusiness program is cost-free and provides tools for businesses to become greener and more successful. DSA recently celebrated its 100th EcoBusiness member, Ajax-based Search Engine Peo- ple Inc., Canada’s largest search marketing firm that was recent- ly named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies for the sec- ond straight year by Profit 100. Mr. Samson, who was a pioneer of EcoBusiness, helped conduct a seminar recently along with DSA at his store where the mile- stone was celebrated, and he and waste and recycle experts shared insight into making businesses more sustainable. “We had just over 40 people attend, which was great,” said DSA public relations coordinator Rachael Wraith. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan also accepted a certificate on behalf of the City for being the first munic- ipality to get involved. The program encourages busi- ness to sign up and become involved in green initiatives in the areas of transportation and equipment, energy, water, and pollution and waste reduction and conservation. Ms. Wraith explained getting involved can reduce energy and operating costs, encourage sales and customer loyalty, enhance reputations and create great con- nections with like-minded busi- ness owners. Members are encouraged to take actions that can be low-, medium- or high-cost, such as encouraging employees to car- pool to work, installing low-flow toilets or automatic water faucets in bathrooms or investing in low- energy appliances or solar panel roofing. “There’s so many things they can do that are no cost,” Mr. Sam- son said. For example, employees can take waste-free lunches to work and turn off lights when they’re not needed. If companies don’t have a green bin or recycling, they can take their recyclables or organic waste home and dispose of them there, he suggested. Mr. Samson decided to go green in 2007 when he was told, along with a number of other business owners, that green is the way of the future, and that businesses can either go green or go under. “I was one of the biggest gar- bage creators around,” he said, noting that’s often the case with contracting companies. But things have changed since the green light went on in his head. “My daughter now calls me ‘Captain Planet’,” he said. Instead of taking everything to the dump in one big dumpster that would normally go to land- fill, his business sorts everything, such as metal and wood, and takes it to the recycling plant on Squires Beach Road. “We recycle everything,” he said. “Everything that is humanly possible to recycle, we recycle.” DSA now has businesses regis- tered in the program from Singa- pore and South Africa. “It is becoming far-reaching and we’d like to see it grow beyond Durham Region and continue to grow in Durham Region as well,” Ms. Wraith said.

It happened at 12:20 p.m. at the Nokia building at 601 Westney Rd. S. “Fire and ambulance respond- ed, but we called them off because there were no inju- ries, fortunately,” said Durham police’s Sergeant Nancy van Rooy. A Hyundai Accent at the scene had a damaged front bumper and yellow caution tape cor- doned off the front entrance to the building. A worker could be seen sweeping up the glass. “There’s extensive damage to the building,” said Sgt. van Rooy. The incident is under investi- gation by police. These types of accidents are not uncommon and without commenting specifically on Wednesday’s incident, Sgt. van Rooy said this type of collision is usually unintentional. “It seems to be human error. It seems to be that confusion between gas and brake ... some- times it’s medical episodes,” she said.

Eight club swimmers are among a group that will be competing at the XIII FINA World Masters Championships 2010 in Sweden, which runs from July 27 to Aug. 7, according to the event website. Coach Holley Lundmark will accompany Whitby’s Lauren LeP- age, Oshawa’s Jenilee Keserling and Lindsay MacLean, Picker- ing’s Kirsten Femson along with Amy Levine, Laura Mouck, Melis- sa Dermody and Meaghan Hart- well, to the event. So how did it all come togeth- er? “Every two years its a worlds year and so two years ago we actually had a masters team that went to Australia and this time its in Sweden,” Lundmark began. “An old swimmer of mine who coaches at the club wanted to get a bunch of her swimmers togeth- er and my old swimmers together and put a team together to go to Sweden.” So they did. But not before having to file an application to attend and then register the swimmers and coach- es. With the paperwork done, the focus is now squarely on increas- ing the team’s chances of placing well in Sweden. Getting a gauge on how good they can be has been tough, says Lundmark, noting that up until the last few weeks, the girls, who have about a 10 year age gap, only spend one day a week for three hours together in the pool. “It leaves a lot of stuff to do in a short amount of time,” admits Lundmark. But thanks to an increased practice schedule throughout the month of June, the coach is confi- dent her team is ready to put forth their best effort in Sweden, one she hopes will result in at least a top three finish for the club. The competition will be tough, however. Two years ago in Aus- tralia few teams competed due to the high cost of travel, howev- er, Lundmark says some 33 teams are registered in their catego- ry and with only one swim time guaranteed, little room for error exists. While the event opens on July 27, the opening ceremonies aren’t being held until July 30 in Goteborg and the synchronized swimming competitors won’t hit the pool until Aug. 2. at the Aby Swimming Arena in Molndal. RYAN PFEIFFER /METROLAND OSHAWA -- Coach Holley Lundmark is taking the Durham Synchronized Swimming Club Masters Team to compete in the FINA World Masters Championships in Sweden . MUAY THAI Winning ways continue for Pound 4 Pound Pickering club impressive in Waterloo WATERLOO -- Pickering’s Pound for Pound Mix Martial Arts club, specializing in Muay Thai, Bra- zilian Jui Jit Sui, Boxing and Tra- ditional Jui Jit Sui, carried on its winning streak as they invaded Waterloo’s St. George banquet hall with two of their athletes. Tristan Kalijundic, a super- welterweight, and Jason Hinds, a welterweight, both put on a magnificent display of Muay Thai skills as they both scored knock downs en route to unani- mous decision victories. Their victory was not a shock to their coaches considering what both athletes have achieved the week- end before when they ventured to Des Moines, Iowa to take part in the Thai Boxing Association World Championship. Pound for Pound sent out six athletes to compete, and had all of them return with hardware. Misa Geeverghese, a junior cruiserweight girl, and Pat- rick Reece, a senior super-light- weight. both returned with bronze medals. Jordan Henwood, a super-middleweight, Matt Ken- dall, a light-middleweight and Tristan Kalijundic, a super-wel- terweight, returned with silver medals. Jason Hinds continued to show why he makes eyebrows raise as he came back with the TBA World Championship belt wrapped around his waist. Both Muay Thai coaches, Ritch Cruz and Saji Bolo Geeverghese, were at both events for their ath- letes and commented on the months of preparation that goes into developing these young athletes so they may come out with such fine performances. More than 350 athletes showed up at the three day event, fight- ing down to the finals on Sun- day where Pound for Pound had qualified four of their athletes in those finals. Injuries prevented Matt Ken- dall and Jordan Heywood from taking world championships, but both fought on gallantly. Hey- wood, with a swollen ankle that had him collapse in the middle of the third round, forced the fight to an additional round just to decide who would be cham- pion. Kendall, who had hurt his knee in the initial stage of the competition, fought on one leg all the way to the finals to win his silver medal. “Our athletes understand that conditioning is key and tech- nique is the lifeline to success,” says Bolo Geeverghese. The club has resident world champions in Brazilian Jui Jit Sui as well.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., current and positional students as well as members of the public were invited to come out and celebrate the opening. Staff were on hand to provide tours of the fantastic new facility, which includes state- of-the-art classrooms, a new testing centre, a spacious student common, easier transit, plenty of parking and more. Oshawa Deputy Mayor Nester Pidwerbecki helped triOS College CEO Frank Gerencser and Oshawa Campus Director Deborah Jollymore cut the ribbon to offi cially open the campus. “There has been a lot of planning and consideration that has gone into our new Oshawa campus,” says Frank Gerencser, CEO of triOS College. “Being a part of the Durham community is so important to us and we feel this new campus is a great addition to the Midtown Mall.” The student body at triOS College has grown so rapidly that their former location could no longer accommodate them. triOS College is a private career college recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, the largest Canadian owned Private Career College and the fastest growing, with campuses from Windsor to Oshawa. Several of the diploma programs at triOS College include industry internships. The faculty includes experienced instructors with years of teaching and work experience. Friendly and dedicated, the staff and faculty at triOS College focus on helping their students succeed. Classes are small and hands-on and contain industry-leading curriculum. Here, students can look forward to concentrated, focused learning, one course at a time. Programs start every month, so students can enroll at any time of the year. Interested applicants are encouraged to call triOS College and come in to write the admissions assessment. Once the assessment is completed, prospective students are assisted in choosing a program that is best suited for their strengths. All applicants must be at least 18 years of age or have a high school diploma or its equivalent, and many current students have diplomas and degrees. A variety of fi nancial assistance programs are available to students. The student body is refl ective of its community. The average age of students attending triOS College is 29, and students range in age from their early twenties up to their late fi fties. “At triOS College we have great students that will make great employees,” says Frank.
