JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- She was sitting in traffic,
chatting on the phone, when the police
car pulled up next to her. The cop, see-
ing the driver illegally using a hand-
held cellphone, began waving to get her
attention.
She smiled and waved back. When the
light changed, she motored on.
The anecdote is one of many relayed by
Durham police officers, who have seen
a steady rise in the numbers of drivers
using hand-held communications devic-
es while they’re behind the wheel.
Traffic services branch Sergeant Jeff
Galipeau said that while there was a high
rate of compliance when new legislation
restricting cellphone use among driv-
ers was implemented last fall, police are
now seeing more and more infractions.
“I think people have returned to their
bad habits,” Sgt. Galipeau said.
“Certainly we’ve seen an increase since
(last October). It’s steadily increased.”
Between July 24 and Aug. 2, Durham’s
traffic services branch launched a blitz
targeting distracted drivers. They wrote
94 tickets to motorists caught holding or
using their cellphones while driving.
The trend is a disturbing one for Sgt.
Galipeau.
“Number one, it’s illegal,” he said.
“Number two, it’s very dangerous.”
Statistics from the recent blitz are
also upsetting for Durham MPP John
O’Toole, who led a decade-long battle to
see distracted driving legislation adopt-
ed by the Province.
“I’m genuinely disappointed,” Mr.
O’Toole said.
He said with legislation in place, police
have the power to charge offenders, but
more steps need to be taken to curb dis-
tracted driving.
He’d like to see the issue stressed more
among young drivers.
The responsibility for spreading the
message lies not only with government,
but with the companies that manufac-
ture the many gadgets that vie for our
attention, Mr. O’Toole said.
“They have a public service position
here to educate the public on the dan-
gers of distracted driving,” the MPP
said.
“It’s really important to integrate it
right into the culture of driving.”

Durham running pilot
to end of the year
DURHAM -- A pilot project online service
will let customers know the latest food
inspection results.
The second phase of the Region’s DineSafe
Durham program includes inspection results
showing how establishments fared from
March 2, 2009 to June 30, 2010.
This new service expands the DineSafe
Durham program, giving consumers the
option of accessing timelier, detailed infor-
mation on an eatery.
There’s also a survey visitors to the web
page are being encouraged to complete.
“We encourage the community to explore
the new web page, check out the inspection
history of a favourite eating establishment
and complete the online survey,” says Ken
Gorman, director, environmental health with
the Region’s health department. “The sur-
vey is very brief and we encourage area res-
idents to share their thoughts with us. Input
received will be valuable as we work to com-
plete the development of this resource.”
Begun in March of 2009, DineSafe Durham
includes the on-site posting of green, yellow
or red inspection signs at the entrances of an
eatery.
The pilot project runs to the end of the
year.

ham pilot web page or survey, the DineSafe

In reference to the ongoing investigation police are con-
ducting to find who is responsible for Cris’ death, Pas-
tor John Panda told the grievers that “going for revenge
is not worth it.”
He told the young people in the crowd they have the
power to fulfill their own destinies.
“Listen to the voice of reason and do not allow the
world to waste your life,” he said.
Others came to the front
and urged that anyone with
information share it with
police, even anonymously.
After Cris’s casket was car-
ried to the hearse and the
funeral procession was set
to begin, friends and family
took a few moments to share
memories of the “happy-go-
lucky” teenager.
“Cris was always smiling,”
said Nicola Bennett, a friend
who considered the teen almost family.
“I remember he had so many jokes, he was always
cracking jokes.”
She said his passing is still fresh and doesn’t think it’s
hit her quite yet.
“He’ll be forever missed,” she said.
Cris came from a big family and had more than 30
brothers and sisters, including step-siblings. He and his
family moved to Canada 16 years ago.
“Cris was just so smart, so nice, so handsome,” said
his sister Shaida Tshilombo. “He read so much. He

HIGHWAY OF HEROES
Federal politicians don’t
need to get involved with
highway bridge signs
To the editor:
Re: ‘Ajax man wants permanent memori-
al along Highway of Heroes’, durhamregion.
com.
While I agree with Mr. Elliott’s suggestion
for a permanent memorial, I do not agree
with getting politicians involved. I, as well
as the hundreds of others who make the
trip to “the bridge” during repatriation of
our soldiers, do this of our own volition -- it
is a citizens’ initiative.
From reading about MP Mark Hol-
land getting Michael Ignatieff involved
and using his web site is an indication to
me that he wants this to be political even
though Mr. Elliott would like to see it being
non-partisan. I would be more than will-
ing to be a part of a committee to meet
with those who can give permission for the
memorial to happen i.e. provincial and/or
municipal governments.
The federal political parties do not need
to be a part of this arrangement.
I am the wife of a recently retired army
officer and I would like this effort to be not
only non-partisan but non-political.

PET CARE
SPCA donations subsidize
actual spaying costs
To the editor:
After reading a recent letter regarding
spaying a kitten for $50, I felt the same
frustration I do on a regular basis: the mis-
understanding of exactly what is involved
with the health care of pets and the SPCA’s
perceived ability to “do the job for that
price”. They don’t, it just doesn’t cost you.
First, let’s clarify what spaying a kitten
involves: a registered veterinary techni-
cian prepares and inspects the anesthesia
machine, lays out the medications and sup-
plies and chooses prepared packs contain-
ing sterilized instruments. Once everything
is ready, your kitten receives two injec-
tions -- one to sedate and, later, another
to put her under anesthesia. A tube is then
placed in her trachea for breathing and she
breathes oxygen mixed with anesthetic.
The RVT monitors heart rate, breathing,
anesthetic depth, temperature, etc. until
she is recovered and the tube removed.
After preparing the area, the veterinarian
performs a procedure that is very similar
to a hysterectomy done on a human. After
receiving pain medication, your kitten goes
home the next day. The incision is inspect-
ed and the sutures removed about a week
later.
This is pretty standard for any clinic,
including the SPCA.
However, blood testing and IV fluids
are offered by most veterinarians. To my
knowledge, neither blood tests nor IV flu-
ids are done at the SPCA’s spay/neuter
clinic.
The main difference is where the money
comes from. Your vet has paid for every-
thing and everyone required.
The SPCA covers the same costs with
donations, such as my own. This is why
you only pay $50.
For the difference in the actual cost,
you’re welcome.

ON THE ROAD
Fine texting drivers
and Province will
build a surplus
To the editor:
It occurs to me that Premier Dalton
McGuinty need not apply any more taxes
to the citizens of Ontario.
Instead, hire a few more police officers
in each town and city and really start fin-
ing foolish drivers who still insist on using
their cellphones while behind the wheel.
In no time at all, we would have a surplus
for the province.
Take a look while you drive around, it
seems very few people are curtailing their
annoying habit of texting and phoning
while driving.
Tony Sloggett
Oshawa
You see them everywhere: chatting blithe-
ly into cellphones as they pass you on
Hwy. 401 in the centre lane, or peering into
their laps as a line of cars waits to proceed
through the intersection behind them. They
talk and text and fiddle with GPS devices.
They remain a menace on Durham Region
roadways.
Just ask Durham Regional Police officials
who have been handing out tickets to dis-
tracted drivers since February with the fre-
quency of a blackjack dealer at the Blue
Heron casino. Indeed, Durham officers on
patrol have issued more than 400 tickets
for distracted driving since new hand-held
restrictions came into effect earlier this year.
Compliance with the new law early on was
quite high, say local police, but the mes-
sage has since been lost on many drivers.
Bad habits, particularly those that provide
convenience, are apparently rather hard to
break. Yet it’s clear that driving while dis-
tracted poses a danger to both the motorists
who choose to chat or text and those who
share the road with them.
Police should consider ratcheting up
the enforcement effort over the next few
months to remind -- and penalize -- drivers
who talk and text while driving and literal-
ly drive home the message that it is unsafe
and illegal. Patrol officers should continue
to practise zero tolerance when they wit-
ness a violator driving on Durham streets.
Research into the links between cell-
phone use and driving continues to mount,
with the vast majority concluding that they
can result in collisions. The Ontario Medi-
cal Association, in its own review of exist-
ing studies and literature, reached the same
conclusion: driving and talking on a cell-
phones leads to less safe, more collision-
prone driving.
In this world of instant messaging and
communication, it’s no wonder that cell-
phones have become so pervasive. How-
ever, just because people have the ability to
speak to anyone, anywhere and at anytime
does not necessarily mean they should.
Travelling in a vehicle that weighs thou-
sands of pounds at a high rate of speed
requires keen focus at all times. Talking on a
phone while doing so puts the driver, his or
her passengers and other motorists on the
road at risk. It’s that simple.
Ongoing, zero-tolerance enforcement will
have a beneficial effect over the long term.
We encourage police to continue the cam-
paign here at home and strongly encourage
drivers to turn off their hand-helds as soon
as they enter their vehicles.
Distracted drivers in Durham continue to put others in peril

One of my most persistent fantasies,
besides the one where I’m in a hot tub
with Jackie Onassis and Eleanor Roos-
evelt, is the ability to time travel. I would
give anything to be able to drop in and
out of time to different eras, places and
events. Can you imagine being a real-time
witness to such world-altering moments
as the building of the Pyramids, the Siege
of Troy or the invention of Twister? Lis-
tening to Socrates speak, sharing a plate
of gnocchi with Da Vinci or engaging in
a little philosophy while on a leisurely
country stroll with Emerson. Heaven.
Of course I’d have to make sure there
were certain safety caveats in place. No
fun dropping into the middle of the Span-
ish Inquisition and finding your name on
Torquemada’s list or landing in the Union
lines at Manassas with nothing more than
an iPhone to protect yourself. No, I’d like
to witness history, not necessarily be an
active participant.
Of course, it would also be nice to revis-
it those moments in history where I was
actively involved.
A few moments with either of my long-
dead grandfathers would be invaluable to
me.
Likewise, I would give anything to sit
and talk with my brother J.J. once more.
I was stunned to realize a few weeks ago
that he has now been gone for longer than
he walked this planet.
I’d even like to watch my younger self for
awhile. What would it be like to experi-
ence that first kiss again, the joy of con-
quering a two-wheeler, Christmas morn-
ings as a delirious seven year old? Maybe
I could warn myself not to eat all of those
licorice pipes on that fateful Halloween
when I threw up in bed.
One would hope that the past would
be a pleasant place, or at the very least
instructive. There is, however, always the
danger that you would travel back in time
only to discover that you were a bit of a
jerk as a youngster. In my case it would
probably be best to skip my teens alto-
gether. Memory can play tricks on us after
all.
Books, I suppose, are the closest we
can come to actually riding in a time
machine. Thank goodness for first- and
second-hand accounts, historical records
and memoirs. They are, in many cases, a
literal and precious window into the past.
But what about those smaller, more per-
sonal journeys we’d like to take?
Most of us aren’t lucky enough to have
written records from ancestors and lost
loves.
Failing any real opportunities to go back
and visit, the next best thing, it seems to
me, is to make every living moment with
those we still have count in spades. We
have no control over how quickly the past
fades, but we can always make the pres-
ent as vivid as possible.
Certainly creating memories is more fun
than revisiting them. I find that a help-
ful philosophy when life gets troubled or
cloudy.
If I find myself hankering for the past it’s
usually a tell-tale sign that I’m not enjoy-
ing my present as much as I should, that
something in the here and now is slight-
ly out of kilter and needs my attention.
That’s a handy mechanism and proba-
bly far more valuable than a time-travel

BEHIND THE LENS
This photo was taken at
Memorial Park in Oshawa
during a fundraiser for
Camp X . D & D Exotics
had various critters on site
to have a photo taken with
for a donation towards the
fundraiser. Things were just
about wrapping up when a
wedding party entered the
park to have their photos
taken. The bride decided to
have her picture taken with
a snake. She was a good
sport about it and didn’t
seem nervous. I’m sure
that, in any case, these were
not the wedding photos
they had envisioned.
Game on!
Get out your thermometers, election
fever is catching.
The symptoms are obvious: candidates
show up at virtually every local announce-
ment, the chatter on Facebook political
pages is decidedly nasty, my office features
a revolving door of council hopefuls and
the usual debate over election signs has
already erupted.
Not unlike the solemn realization that
hits you the first time you see that back-
to-school promotion, that summer is fast
waning, so too comes a little feeling of
dread when you note the election signs are
already popping up.
And yes, there are rules about how soon
you can post a sign, although some politi-
cians have jumped the gun on that one.
This week a caller to the newsroom asked
why he should trust his city (Oshawa) to
any politician who can’t even obey a sim-
ple sign bylaw that prohibits the use of
election signs until 37 days prior to elec-
tion day. Good question. See Jillian Fol-
lert’s story on the issue at durhamregion.
com.
Our plans for election coverage are well
under way, thanks in great part to those
readers who responded to my request a
month ago for questions they want put to
the candidates.
Early next week, candidates across Dur-
ham Region will receive a request from
one of our reporters asking them to fill in
an online questionnaire. That information
will be shared with our readers between
now and election day, Oct. 25.
Combined with our coverage of all-can-
didate debates, feature stories on where
candidates stand on select issues and your
letters to the editor, we expect to be chock
full of election news in the six weeks lead-
ing up to the election.
So, enjoy the last lazy days of summer
because those few reddish leaves you’re
starting to see signal not only the coming
of fall, but also the beginning of campaign
season in earnest.

Rouge Hill Seniors Club
celebrates Florence Day
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Florence Day’s greatest memories stem
back to the early 1900s when she was just a child grow-
ing up on her family’s farm in Frankford, Ont.
At 102 years of age as of Wednesday, Aug. 11, Ms. Day
is happy to have lived more than a century, as long as
she can continue to remember the happy days of her
childhood and her marriage.
“And I can remember,” she said as her friends and fel-
low members of the Rouge Hill Seniors Club gathered
at the Village Retirement Centre in Pickering Sunday to
celebrate her upcoming big day.
Ms. Day was glad to see her long-time friends and
appreciated the party, which included singing and
playing Happy Birthday on the piano, cards, cake, cof-
fee and tea.
“I have a lot of good friends,” she said.
Rouge Hill Seniors Club member Bonnie Fowler
describes Ms. Day as “such a dear.”
Some of the greatest times she’s shared with Ms. Day
were at the euchre table, especially when her friend
would pull out the one card that could spoil Ms. Fowl-
er’s possible win.
“She always trumped my aces,” Ms. Fowler said with a
laugh.
Ms. Day didn’t move into a nursing home until she
was more than 100 years old and, according to Ms.
Fowler, she’s still “as sharp as a tack.
“Right up until Florence came into the home, she was
there (playing euchre) every Friday night, often a win-
ner,” she said.
Rhoda Sheldon, president of the Rouge Hill Seniors’
Club, said Ms. Day is an inspiration to all of the mem-
bers.
“She certainly leaves us with a lot to live up to,” Ms.
Sheldon said, also describing Ms. Day as a very caring
person.
And when Ms. Day attended the various functions the
seniors hosted on a more regular basis, she ensured
everything was just right, Ms. Sheldon said.
“She’s been a lady in every sense of the word,” she
said. “When you think of ‘lady,’ you think of Florence.”
Ms. Day admits the 102 years have slowed her down a
couple of notches.
“I get tired very easily,” she said.
But she’s certainly stood the test of time.
She explained most of her family members didn’t live
nearly as long as herself. Her mother, for example, died
in her 60s.
“How I came to live to be 102, I’ll never know,” she
said.
Ms. Day outlived her husband and didn’t have any
children of her own, but spent a lot of time in her
younger days helping her sister raise her children.
She was expecting them to visit on her actual birth-
day.
When you think of ‘lady,’ you
think of Florence. Rhoda Sheldon, Rouge Hill
Seniors Club president

PICKERING -- Florence Day turns 102 years old today, Aug. 11. She celebrated a few days early at home at the
Village Residence with friends on Aug. 8. Her longevity, she says, is a mystery. “How I came to live to be 102, I’ll
never know,” she said.

Durham woman plans Durham woman plans
bike ride for charitybike ride for charity
Journey will benefit
Ajax women’s shelter
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- A Whitby woman is hoping to bike
more than 200 kilometres in a single day and
visit every municipality in Durham in an
effort to raise money for charity.
Sarah Wollner said her Cycle for Shelter is
the longest-ever one-day bike ride for char-
ity in Durham and she’ll be hitting the road
on Sept. 18. The Whitby resident, who works
for Royal LePage in Ajax, is looking to raise
$3,000 for the Royal LePage Shelter Founda-
tion. She said the organization is the largest
foundation in Canada dedicated to support-
ing shelters and fighting violence against
women.
Her inspiration came from reading about
realtor Sebastian Albrecht, who climbed
Grouse Mountain in British Columbia a
record 13 times in one day in 2009 as a fund-
raiser for the Shelter Foundation.
“It inspired me and I thought ‘Oh my gosh,
I can do that’,” said Ms. Wollner. “I can do
something and give back. Women and chil-
dren’s issues are close to my heart.”
A part-time fitness instructor for the Town
of Ajax, Ms. Wollner teaches spinning classes
and was a casual biker, but she’s only recent-
ly bought her first road bike. Her longest-
ever single-day bike ride was 115 kilometres
last summer, so her goal on Sept. 18 will be
tough.
“It has to be a real challenge. It has to be
something people don’t do every day,” she
said.
Ms. Wollner added that on some level
she wants the toughness of the challenge to
equate to how tough it is to leave everything
behind and exit a violent relationship.
Ms. Wollner said she spoke with the foun-
dation about donating the funds she raises to
a local shelter and the money will go to Heri-
zon House in Ajax.
“I’ve lived within the community for more
than 10 years, in Ajax and now in Whitby, my
kids are growing up here and for the longest
time I’ve been wanting to find a way to give
back.”
On Sept. 18, she plans to set out at 7 a.m.
from the Royal LePage office at Bayly Street
and Finley Avenue. Ajax Mayor Steve Par-
ish will accompany her as she takes off. After
that, she’s hoping to meet with mayors in
all of Durham’s eight municipalities as she
cycles through and she’s planning on ending
her trip at the Carruthers Marsh Pavilion by
the waterfront. The ride should take eight to
10 hours.
And while her big ride will be mostly a
solo effort, Ms. Wollner said there are a lot of
opportunities for people to get involved.
On Thursday, Aug. 12, she is inviting the
community to ride along with her at a kickoff
at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill
Dr., for a 15-kilometre local bike ride. She’s
asking for a $20 gift to the foundation and for
participants to be there by 6 p.m.
“It’s easy; we’re going to follow the Ajax
bike paths ... it’s going to be fun, not fast,” she
said.
Once the ride is finished, the group will
meet up at Casey’s where the riders will
receive complimentary starters.
Then, on Sept. 10, Ms. Wollner’s fellow fit-
ness trainers will host a zumba party at the
McLean Community Centre gym. The event
will include 90 minutes of zumba dance fit-
ness, refreshments and prizes. The event
runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and Ms. Wollner is again
suggesting a $20 donation to the cause.

As president and artistic director of
Durham Dance Centre Inc., I am delighted to
be writing this article with the same passion
and commitment that I felt when I opened
my studio 18 years ago.
We are very fortunate to have a very
strong and diverse teaching staff that
creates an environment in which your child
will always want to come
back for more. Whether
your child chooses to
dance recreationally or
competitively, Durham
Dance Centre will have a
class to suit their needs. All
classes are taught in three
bright spacious studios
with viewing windows
where parents can view
at all times. Classes are
off ered in Kinderdance,
Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Acro,
Tap, Musical Theatre, Adult Pilates, and New
– All Boyz Hip Hop. Durham Dance Centre
off ers the R.A.D. Ballet teaching method
and every year many students enter their
ballet exams and succeed with very high
achievements. Our competitive team
produces truly amazing results year after
year and their achievements can be viewed
on our website.
Durham Dance Centre off ers a yearly
“Summer Camp Intensive Program” and this
year classes were taught by great artists
such as Joshua Allen (Winner of “So You
Think You Can Dance”), Will Wingfi eld of “So
You Think You Can Dance”, Amy Gardner
of “So You Think You Can
Dance Canada”, World
Renowned Prima Ballerina
Kimberly Glasco, and
Principal Dancer, Aleksander
Antonijevic, of the National
Ballet of Canada to name
a few. The energy in the
studio was raising the roof
this summer!
Durham Dance Centre
Inc. is not only a studio, it’s
a place that students have
called home for the past 18 years. I have two
beautiful daughters of my own and they
inspire me to continue with my passion and
commitment to be the best I can be and to
continue to strive for excellence.
If you would like more information about
our studio or would like to take a tour, I
invite you to call (905) 837-2528.

Canadian Sport for Life magazine
endorses gymnastics as an activity
all children should learn because it
provides a solid foundation for all
other sports. Gymnastics promotes the
ABCs of athleticism – agility, balance,
coordination and speed and without
these basic movement skills a child
will have diffi culty participating in any
sport.
”With that said, it is no wonder that co-owners
Shawn and Denise Campbell enjoy such great
success with Planet Gymnastics at their Whitby
and Pickering locations. They admit willingly that
once your kids arrive at Planet Gymnastics they
won’t want to leave.
Now in it’s 6th year in whitby and celebrating
10 years in Pickering, Planet Gymnastics is a
recreational facility that off ers gymnastic classes
where kids can have fun, get active and workout
their minds. And now is the time to register for
fall classes.
Shawn, who runs the facilities with his wife Denise,
graduated from Seneca College’s Professional
Coaching program, with a concentration on
beginner and advanced gymnastics. He has
been a professional gymnastics coach for over 19
years and has trained many champion athletes.
Through his studies he discovered the benefi ts
of gymnastics training for kids.
Planet Gymnastics off ers a variety of classes,
seven days a week, with something for kids as
young as 18 months and programs for teens and
adults.
The ‘Parent and Tot Program’, for example, is for
kids between the ages of 18 months to 35 months
and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and
engage in gymnastics with your child in a unique
environment. This class is a great way to improve
your child’s physical ability as well as their social
skills and runs seven times daily during the week
and four times daily on weekends.
‘Kindergymnastics’ off ers a one-hour, weekly
class full of fun activities, games and circuits that
require preliminary gymnastic skills for children
aged three to four years. In this program they will
improve their balance, strength and fl exibility
and will gain their self-confi dence.
The ‘Recreational Program’ is for kids age fi ve
right through to teenagers. It progresses through
the CANGYM recreational system, which includes
all of the gymnastic events. Fully qualifi ed
instructors ensure that the skills are learned
properly before your child advances to the next
level.
New to Planet Gymnastics this year is the Teen
Gym program. This two hour class is available
once a week for students to focus on specifi c
areas that they would like to improve.For
dancers, cheerleaders,
and for kids who are
just full of energy,
Planet Gymnastics
off ers ‘Tumble and
Bounce’ trampoline
classes. This two-hour
class is fi lled with lots
of energy, bouncing
and fun in which they
learn basic tumbling
skills such as front and
back handsprings,
somersaults, twisting
and many other
interesting skills.
Planet Gymnastics features a three-storey play
centre with a separate ball pit and specialty
training equipment for toddlers. They also have
a 40-foot tumbling trampoline, plus equipment
that is made especially for kids as well as all the
traditional gymnastics equipment such as uneven
bars, rings, single bars and balance beams.
Children should enroll in September but can
be enrolled at any time throughout the season
(pending availability), our classes run throughout
the school year and we fi nish up the season with
a special gold medal presentation to all children
held each June. It’s a great way to keep the kids
active in a secure air-conditioned environment.
Planet Gymnastics is celebrating 10 years of
providing great gymnastics instruction. We are
expanding our Pickering facility in January 2011,
we will have a huge viewing area, and giant party
room, and the gym space will grow by almost
40%.
Also new to both Whitby and Pickering gyms
are the interactive fl oor systems, the kids can play
soccer, hockey, and pretend to play in water while
chasing fi sh, this system promises to be a great
addition to our class warm ups and especially our
birthday parties

The Students and staff are pleased to
announce the start of another thrilling
year of dance at the Denise Lester
Dance Academy (DLDA). Register now
to be part of this exciting dance studio,
an awesome place for
your child or yourself to be part of. The
studio off ers quality classes in Ballet,
Jazz, Tap, Acro, Hip Hop, Contemporary,
Pre-ballet, Combination classes and
new this year - Musical Theatre. For the
Adults – Tap and Hip Hop. All classes at
the DLDA are taught by experienced,
fully qualifi ed teachers who believe that
every student in class is important.
The DLDA is kicking off the new season with
an exciting workshop, hosting celebrity teachers
from Canada’s “So You Think You Can Dance”,
Hairspray, Bombay Dreams and Alvin Ailey.
Workshops will be held August 9 to the 12 and
there are still a few drop-in spots available. Don’t
be left out, call now to have the opportunity to
work with this wonderfully creative faculty.
Classes starting in September are suitable for
the recreational dancer or the serious competitive
dancer, age three through to adult, beginner to
advanced. There is no registration fee to sign up.
You just pay for your fi rst eight weeks of classes.
The season runs through to June and ends with
two completely diff erent and spectacular recitals.
Both recitals are conducted with the utmost
of organization by the faculty so the parents
can sit, watch and enjoy the most wonderful
dance recital to be seen. You will be thrilled and
delighted watching your child perform the work
that they have worked so hard to learn. DLDA
has not lost sight of today’s economy or the
added expensive of the HST by keeping recital
costumes to a reasonable price and the price of
classes have not increased, for the fourth year,
The competitive team boasts of wonderfully
successful competitive seasons year after year.
The past season was no exception with our
dancers returning home with many overall
awards of excellence and the highest mark of
the competition being won by Christina Matos.
Our competitive team proudly supported our
community by performing for Art Fest, Relay
For Life and performed for two senior citizen
homes during the year. Many of our competitive
dancers have gone onto very successful careers
in dance, like Jenna-Lyn Higgins who was chosen
to dance on the popular TV series “So You Think
You Can Dance”. The studio is always looking for
talented, ambitious dancers to join the team and
be part of the new exciting year which is about
to start. This year DLDA is expanding their Pre-
Competitive Team. Perfect for those dancers who
would like to compete but with slightly less of a
commitment than what is needed for the main
stream competitive team.
DLDA off ers exams in Ballet, Jazz, Tap and
Acro. Serious students can graduate from the
studio with a teacher’s qualifi cation in all four
branches – a prerequisite for teaching at city
dance programs, at other dance studios or to
open studios of their own (which many DLDA
alumni have done). It is also a qualifi cation highly
recognized on university entrance applications.
If you wish your child or your self to have the
opportunity to be taught by this wonderfully
successful faculty of teachers who accomplish so
much with their students then call 905-839-3041
for further info. You can visit the website at www.
deniselesterdance.com to read about the alumnis
who are performing anywhere from Broadway to
Stratford, on “So You Think You Can Dance” and
on cruise ships, teaching for the world famous
Rockettes. Suzie Cunliff e-Brown choreographs
for movies and for Wonderland! Don’t miss her
dance show at Wonderland this October, the

AP Fall Registration Show 2010 ADVERTISING FEATURE
Are you considering enrolling your child in
dance lessons? Extracurricular activities for
children are abundant and selecting one that is
appropriate for your child can be diffi cult. You
want to be certain the activity is an educational
and exciting one that will bring your child
delightful memories and experiences for years to
come. So how do you choose? What questions
should you ask? In Canada there are no licensing
or certifi cation requirements for dance studios or
teachers in Canada. So it is important that parents
choose wisely since improper training can result
in injury and frustration for the student.
To help you in your selection, Jacqueline’s
School of Dance has prepared the following
‘Five Questions Every Parent Should Ask Before
Choosing a Dance Studio.’
How do I know I will receive quality
instruction?
It’s always important to make sure that your
child’s instructors are qualifi ed. Look for someone
who has professional dance training, holds a
degree in dance education from an accredited
college or university, or is a certifi ed member of
such national organizations such as The British
Association of Teachers of Dancing. Any of these
is a good indication that the instructor knows
what to teach, when to teach it, and how it should
be taught. A good school will follow a carefully
designed syllabus of instruction in the teaching
and well being of its students. The students will
be able to be examined under this umbrella.
Annual Performance
An end-of-the year performance is important!
It gives a dancer valuable stage experience,
as well as the opportunity to use what they
have learned during the year. Dance is, after all,
a performing art! The year-end performance
should be designed to compliment your child’s
classroom training-not replace it. Check on the
costs for costumes and whether or not they are
hassle free.
Age appropriateness
Music, costuming and choreography should all
be refl ective of a student’s age and ability level.
Facilities
A quality facility will provide a bright, clean,
climate controlled and safe environment, as well
as off er amenities such as a comfortable waiting
area, full-length mirrors, sturdy ballet barres,
adequate restrooms, and changing rooms.
The most important thing you should consider
about a facility is the type of fl oor that is used.
One of the best ways to enjoy dance safely is to
select a school with fl oating fl oors, which are
specially designed to reduce fatigue and prevent
injuries.
Customer Service and Assistance
To have a positive dance experience, it is
important to select a studio that can assist
you with your questions when you need them
answered. Full-time offi ce staff help keep the
instructors in the studio teaching.

The Dance Experience is a small,
family-oriented dance studio with
a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.
We have been providing quality
dance training that focuses on fun
for over 20 years. It is perfect for any
beginner dancer for many reasons...
Our classes and teachers: We offer classes
in BALLET, JAZZ, TAP, HIP HOP, MUSICAL
THEATRE, ACRO AND CREATIVE MOVEMENT
for ages three and up. All classes offered for
students six years and younger are taught
by studio owner and director Terri Robitaille,
who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
with a major in dance (education and
performance) and who has been specializing
in the teaching of young children for over 25
years. All of our teachers are experts in their
specific fields of dance and have a strong
love of both children and dance education.
Our small class sizes enable our teachers
to provide personal attention and quality
training to each individual student.
Our pricing and costuming policy: At
The Dance Experience, you only pay for
six weeks of classes at a time. There is
absolutely no commitment required at the
time of registration, and no registration or
administration fees ever. Perfect for trying
something new! Our recital costumes are
based around dancewear and footwear
that can be worn to classes all year long
and the costume “accessories” are kept
very reasonably priced. Generous family
discounts are also provided.
Our recital: Every June we host one big
beautiful recital involving every dancer at
our studio from our three-year-olds to our
adult classes! It is a fabulous, well-organized,
fast-paced, professional quality show that
“wows” audiences every year. Ticket prices
are kept low and families are always thrilled
with the performances!
Our results: although our students
almost all start out as “just for fun” dancers
– we do offer a competitive program for
those who show that special love and
dedication required for a more intense
dance experience. Many of our graduates
have gone on to study dance as a career and
our competitive team has won numerous
prestigious awards over the years in both
performance and choreography.
At The Dance Experience, our classes,
teachers, prices, costumes, recital, and
competitive program options combine to
make this studio the most sensible choice
for any beginner dancer!
If you would like more information
on The Dance Experience,
visit our website at www.
danceexperience.ca or e-mail Terri at
terri@danceexperience.ca. You can
also call us at 905-686-8335. We wish
you a happy DANCE EXPERIENCE!

“I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work with (my daughter) this
year... I really wanted to say thank you for believing in her, especially when she did not believe
in herself, which was often! She got in the car many nights after practice saying “I can’t do
this solo!”... When I asked what you said, she said, “Miss Christine says I can do it.” Then I said,
well if Miss Christine believes you can, then you can!! Thank you for giving her the chance
to believe in herself and to be proud that she pulled off something she never thought she
could. I love your work and how you push your students, even when they resist and rebel!... So
congratulations again, and thank you very much!”

Reporter meets baseball idol
Fond memories flood back
during a day at the Canadian
Baseball Hall of Fame
JASON CHAMBERLAIN
jchamberlain@northumberlandnews.com
ST. MARY’S -- Back in the early ’90s, I was a Junior Jay.
That means I was little, and I loved the Toronto Blue
Jays. That my name was ‘Jay’ was just a fortunate coin-
cidence.
Some of my most vivid memories of my childhood
are from trips to the SkyDome with my dad. We would
leave our apartment in Ajax bright and early, throw
on our ball caps and gloves and catch the GO Train to
Toronto. Since our seats in the 500 level were out of
range of most foul balls, we used the time before the
game to head down to field level along the third-base
line, where we’d try to grab any ground balls that came
our way during batting practice. Man, when I was 10
years old there was no greater treasure than an official
Major League baseball.
Those Blue Jays teams were so loaded with talent and
it was awesome watching them win consecutive World
Series championships in 1992 and 1993. Back then, it
was a thrill just standing 20-feet away from a guy like
Roberto Alomar as he got ready for the game. He was
one of my heroes, and there he was in the flesh, so close
he could throw the ball to me if he wanted to.
I’m telling you this because I recently had the oppor-
tunity to meet that childhood hero of mine, and others,
too.
I was in St. Mary’s, Ontario for the Canadian Baseball
Hall of Fame’s 2010 induction ceremony earlier this
summer. It was an amazing experience that brought
back a flood of those ball park memories while resus-
citating my passion for a game that lost its place in
my heart to hockey quite a few years ago.
My trip began when I made the three-hour drive
from Cobourg to St. Mary’s. Once there, I discov-
ered just how beautiful a town it is.
The Hall itself is in a converted house, and
some of the rarest baseball memorabilia in
the world can be found there. Items like
Joe Carter’s batting helmet from the 1993
World Series, and the home plate he
stepped on after slamming his famous
home run have found a home there, as
have autographed jerseys from some
of the game’s best Canadian stars like
Justin Morneau, Jason Bay and Ryan
Dempster. There is really no way to
describe the Hall’s impressive collec-
tion in words. It has to be seen, and if
you’re a passionate baseball fan, you’ll
definitely want to brave the journey to
get there.
The first ‘celebrity’ I met at the event was
Linda Ruth Tosetti, the grand-
daughter of the great Babe Ruth
himself. She has made it her
life’s work ensuring that her
grandfather’s memory is given
the proper respect in the world
of baseball. Hearing her stories
of the Babe’s life and his love
for Canada (he
hit his first
home run
north of the border) was amazing and, more than that,
she was a kind and accommodating individual who
assuaged any fears I might have had of dealing with
‘famous baseball people’.
I also had the surprise opportu-
nity to meet Tessa Virtue and
Scott Moir, the Canadian ice
dancers who won gold at
the Vancouver Olym-
pics. They were spe-
cial guests at the event,
and they brought their
hard-won gold medals
with them. Meeting two
world-class athletes
was incredible enough, but then the
incredibly sweet and humble Tessa
went and put one of the medals around
my neck, which completely blew my
mind. Canada couldn’t ask for better rep-
resentatives than these two young skaters.
They’re immensely talented, completely
down to earth and very, very proud of their
country.
On Thursday night, inductees Paul
Quantrill and Alomar led their teams
into a friendly slow pitch game. I
played on Paul’s team, and it was
definitely the most surreal experience I’ve ever had in
my life as an athlete. Clowning around with Ace, the
Blue Jays mascot, in our dugout sticks out in my mind,
as does meeting my teammate Bridget Nickerson, bet-
ter known as Miss Canada International 2010. Keeping
my eye on the ball was no easy task with her around.
Then there was Roberto Alomar himself, who told me I
“looked good out there” after I smacked a double into
the outfield. I doubt my ball career is ever going to top
that particular moment.
As a member of the media, I was able to speak to Alo-
mar on the morning of his induction. Talking to him
about his career while trying not to gush too much
was tough, but I made sure to tell him I was one of the
countless Jays fans that cheered him on during those
halcyon days in Toronto. For his part, I can tell you he’s
a humble guy who appreciates all the support he still
receives from Canadian fans.
In covering the event, I had to balance being a fan with
being a professional. Basically, that means I couldn’t
use the situation for my own personal gain. So, I wasn’t
asking the inductees for autographs, and I wasn’t ask-
ing Miss Canada for her phone number. But, I was tak-
ing everything in. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-
nity - to rub shoulders with luminaries of the baseball
world like Fergie Jenkins, Pat Gillick, Jim Fanning and
Charles Bronfman; to witness Port Hope’s own Paul
Quantrill’s proud moment; and to meet a childhood
hero of mine.
It’s the kind of thing I could never have dreamed of
back when I sat with my dad in those 500 level seats.

Ride route rolls across
region’s countryside
DURHAM -- Hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts
are expected to take a tour of Durham’s country-
side later this month in an effort to aid the Sick-
Kids Foundation.
In 2009, the inaugural Ride For SickKids raised
nearly $40,000 and organizers of this year’s edi-
tion, slated for Aug. 22, are hoping to attract 500
bikers to the fundraiser, which will see riders wind
their way across the region and beyond its bor-
ders.
Registration will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. at
Mackie Harley Davidson, 880 Champlain Ave., in
Whitby.
With a police escort, riders will depart from there
at 10 a.m. sharp and head east to Port Hope, north
into Peterborough County and then back west into
Durham and to a rest-stop in Port Perry, arriving
around noon or so.
In Port Perry’s downtown core, a section of Water
Street will be cordoned off to provide parking for
participants, who will be treated to a barbecue
lunch in the waterfront park.
During the lunch stop, award-winning Canadian
country music artist Aaron Pritchett will perform
in Palmer Park as part of the Ride For SickKids
fundraiser.
Following lunch, riders will then make their way
back to Mackie Harley Davidson in Whitby.

When to dive into
the housing market,
how much to spend,
when to renew
JENNIFER STONE
jstone@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Patrick Forbes has seen both
sides of the mortgage rate game.
Earlier this year, before rates started to
creep up, the Durham resident was looking
at whether to refinance to take advantage
of historically low rates. But, by the time he
got around to doing anything about it, rates
had started to rise. Changing his mortgage
would no longer save him money.
“What got me was procrastination,” he
said. “I missed my moment, if you will.”
But Mr. Forbes has also been the ben-
eficiary of interest rate fluctuation. In the
1970s, when rates hit historic highs, he
bought his first home. Rates were stuck
around 22 per cent. But, for a few days,
almost unbeknownst to him at the time,
rates were cut almost in half. It was during
those days that Mr. Forbes’s mortgage went
through.
With interest rates edging up, tales of
houses on the Canadian market being over-
valued in double-digit territory, horror
stories of foreclosure and seriously delin-
quent mortgages in the U.S., and changes
to mortgage lending rules in Canada, all
sorts of questions of affordability could be
haunting those looking to buy, and even
those already in the market.
There’s no question interest rates will
go up, said Finance Minister and Whitby-
Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty. But, he also
doesn’t think the incredibly high rates --
- like the 22 per cent Mr. Forbes speaks of
seeing in the 1970s --- are likely to be seen
again.
Mr. Flaherty was a young lawyer during
that period of record-high interest rates.
“I remember people coming in (to
his office) and handing over their keys”
because they simply could no longer afford
their homes, given the interest rate of the
day, he said.
But, higher interest rates are reality, he
said. “Gradually, interest rates will return
to something that’s more like what’s histor-
ically normal,” he said.
Ensuring people can continue to afford
their homes even when interest rates
increase was part of the rationale behind
recent changes to mortgage lending rules
Mr. Flaherty recently introduced.
“We were seeing more and more insur-
able mortgages” with a “high ratio” of debt,
he said. “We wanted to tighten that up.”
The new rules are lauded by Oshawa-
based mortgage agent Elfie Hayes.
“The changes the government have put
in place were wise,” Ms. Hayes said.
As it was, Canadian lending rules and
practices have tended to be a little more
conservative than those of the U.S., and it
shows. South of the border, housing pric-
es dropped 33 per cent between 2006 and
2009, said TD Chief Economist Don Drum-
mond, in Oshawa for a recent City-run
event. That didn’t happen in Canada.
“Almost 10 per cent of mortgages in the
U.S. are seriously delinquent, meaning
more than three months behind in pay-
ments,” Mr. Drummond said, noting his-
tory has shown about 50 per cent of those
who land in the “seriously delinquent” cat-
egory wind up defaulting on their mort-
gages.
It’s
different in
Canada, where
far fewer mortgages
have ended in default, he
said. Less than half a per cent
of Canadian mortgages “are delin-
quent at all, never mind seriously delin-
quent,” he said. That means there’s not
been over-supply, and house prices have
remained strong.
But the new rules are a little more conser-
vative yet. One of the key changes relates to
variable versus fixed-rate mortgages, Ms.
Hayes said. While mortgage-takers previ-
ously could have pre-qualified based on
interest at the usually lower, but subject
to fluctuation, variable rate, now, even if
they’re taking a variable mortgage, they
have to qualify based on the fixed rate.
“It’s decreased people’s buying capac-
ity and that’s not a bad thing,” noted Ms.
Hayes. The vast majority of mortgage
holders who have in past opted for variable
rate mortgages have traditionally locked in
within two years, she said.
The variable rate mortgage is something
Ms. Hayes often steers her clients away
from anyway, unless they’re very financial-
ly solid, she said.
“If a new
couple, recently married, with
five per cent (down payment),
were talking about a variable
rate mortgage, I would discourage
them,” she said, noting the potential
for fluctuation of payment, along with
the possibility of increased expenses or
decreased earning -- after all, young new-
lyweds are “more likely to have mat leave” -
- make the variable rate less of a good idea.
A good real estate agent will also employ
strategies to help buyers remain within
their realm of affordability, said Dierdre
Mullen, president of the Durham Region
Association of Realtors. Often, it’s unnec-
essary, though, she noted.
“Buyers are really savvy,” she said. “They
understand the costs involved in buying a
home.”
Still, realtors will point out potential
costs, like landscaping for a newer home,
or roof or other high-dollar replacements
that may be necessary for an older home,
she said.
Real estate professionals “absolutely”
counsel clients to ensure they stay within
their affordability range, Ms. Mullen said.
“Your job as a realtor is to do what’s in the
best interest of your client,” she said.
Most of the experts expect a slow rise in
interest rates --- though not to anywhere
near the historic highs Mr. Forbes was
able to avoid three or more decades ago --
- and a similarly gradual decrease in hous-
ing prices and a slight softening of the real
estate market. But homes will always be
bought and sold, they say. And it’s almost
impossible to say when the best time to
buy, sell or renew a mortgage will be.
Mr. Forbes thinks he may have missed
to boat to renew under the historically low
levels; already, rates have inched up over
what he’s paying on his existing mortgage.
“I had oodles of time,” he said. “The rates
were very low and very stable. They were
very low and I did nothing . . . and it cost
me.”
SO HOW DO PEOPLE GET IN OVER THEIR HEADS?
OSHAWA -- Sandra Sherk, executive director
of Credit Counselling Services of Durham Region,
sees the results of people getting in over their
heads because of housing costs all the time.
“I see people a year or so after they’ve bought
the house,” she said. “The house is a little more
than they could afford, so they’ve used their credit
card or line of credit” to deal with expenses.
Pre-approval is a good way to see how much
a bank will lend you, but Ms. Sherk counsels peo-
ple to ensure they’re looking at their entire per-
sonal financial picture before jumping into buying
something at the top of their pre-approval amount.
All likely costs --- from utilities to whether they buy
large amounts of cigarettes and alcohol to kids’
sports and day care costs --- should be factored
in. It’s a matter of honest budgeting, she said.
“They may be pre-approved (for a certain
amount) . . . but they have to look out for their own
best interests,” Ms. Sherk said.

Lopes-Schliep bests
Felicien in Sweden
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- Whit-
by’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep earned
a measure of revenge on Pickering’s
Perdita Felicien less than a week after
falling to her rival at the nationals.
On Aug. 6 in Sweden, Lopes-
Schliep claimed the silver medal in
women’s 100-metre hurdles at the
Stockholm Diamond League track and
field meet, while Felicien finished fifth.
Lopes-Schliep finished in a time
of 12.59 seconds, just behind Austra-
lia’s Sally Pearson (12.57) and ahead
of American Lolo Jones (12.70), who
took the bronze. Felicien was fifth in
12.79.
It was the second fastest time of
the season for Lopes-Schliep, who is
now three points back of Jones in the
overall Diamond League rankings.
Felicien won the Canadian cham-
pionship the Saturday before, in a time
of 12.72 seconds. Lopes-Schliep was
close behind at 12.75.
Both hurdlers also announced
last week they would be skipping
this year’s Commonwealth Games to
focus on training for the next two sea-
sons, which include next summer’s
world championships in Daegu, South
Korea, and the 2012 London Olympic
Games.
GOLF
Corringham
impresses in Barrie
BARRIE -- The Maple Leaf Junior Golf
Tour visited Barrie recently to introduce
players in the region to Canada’s only
national junior tour run exclusively by
Canadian PGA Professionals, and
qualify an eligible player for the Future
Collegiate World Tour event of their
choice in the USA.
Kirsten Degutis, of Waterloo, won
the MJT girls’ division gold medal after
shooting back-to-back rounds of 92,
saying the key to her win was “not los-
ing my temper when I had a bad shot.”
Meanwhile, Pickering’s Alisha Cor-
ringham, 15, shot her best final round
on the MJT to date and took silver. After
opening the tournament with a 99, Cor-
ringham rebounded nicely and fired a
90 on the second day of the event.
Maddy Piccininni, of Toronto, set-
tled for third place two strokes back.
Corringham cleaned up prize-wise
as well at the tournament, as she won
her division’s Mr. Lube Long Drive and
Sundog closest-to-the-pin competitions.
She also took home the Golf Town
Comeback award for the best improve-
ment in score from round one to round
two.
SWIMMING
Barnes making a splash
Swimmer wins three
golds at nationals; turns
focus to road ahead
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- It is all coming together for
Warren Barnes.
The 25-year-old Pickering swimmer recently
won three gold medals at the Canadian sum-
mer nationals in Victoria, B.C., earned a spot
on the national team and booked a ticket to
compete at the Pan Pacific championships in
Irvine, California later this month.
“I was incredibly happy,” Barnes said of mak-
ing the national team. “It’s been a long road to
get to this point. I am 25. Usually swimmers
make it on the national team around 18 or
20. I am a little bit older and it took me a little
bit longer, but I think I just needed to find the
right training centre and right coaches. They
helped me get to where I am right now.”
Watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver
earlier this year also helped Barnes reach his
goals. You see, it was at that point the former
Dunbarton High School student and swim-
mer at the University of Pittsburgh realized
he wanted to put more into the sport that has
given him a fair bit over the years.
After toying in the past with thoughts of step-
ping away from the sport, Barnes says watch-
ing Canada come together to support their
Olympic athletes back in February helped
change his mindset.
“We train twice a day, every day except Sun-
day with weight training sessions in between.
There were lots of times I woke up in the
morning and I thought why am I doing this?”
said the six-foot-three Barnes, who works out
at the UT High Performance Swimming Cen-
tre at the University of Toronto, under the tute-
lage of John Rogers and Byron MacDonald.
“We don’t make that much money either
so I thought about just getting a job. But after
watching the Vancouver Olympics, it just real-
ly inspired me because it brought Canada
together, really united Canada as a nation, I
thought.
“I really want to be a part of that in the sum-
mer of 2012.”
And while he looks every bit the part of a late
bloomer at this point, Barnes feels if he keeps
posting results like he did at nationals in win-
ning three golds, one each in the 50 metre,
100m and 200m breastroke events, then the
Olympics may be a realistic goal.
“I think right now I just need to do exactly
what I am doing,” he explained. “I am tak-
ing little baby steps. I came into nationals
and achieved two life goals I’ve wanted to do
in win nationals and make my first nationals
A team. So I think I am just going to go back
to my training centre and keep pushing for-
ward.”
In the 100m event, a swim Barnes calls his
specialty, Barnes posted a personal best in the
morning swim, clocking a 1:02.00 before tak-
ing gold with a 1:02.07 just hours later.
“It was a little off, but I was still pretty happy
with it as it allowed me to get the victory,” he
said.
The Pan Pacific’s will offer another opportu-
nity for him to show the swimming world just
how far he’s come.
And it’s an opportunity he plans to make the
best of.
“This is a chance for me to race the very
best in the world in my event,” he notes. “I
am going to go there and learn from the best,
watch them, see what they do, see how they
warm up, see how much they drink, see if they
do any dry land before they race. It’s going to
be great.”
A top finish at Pan Pacific’s will put Barnes
is a position to earn a spot on Canada’s Com-
monwealth team, he says.
Barnes’s progress can be tracked trough his
Facebook group ‘Warren Barnes 2012’ or on
his website at warrenbarnes2012.blogspot.

BASKETBALL
Silver medal on the court
Ajax players lead
Ontario to national
championship
game
AJAX -- A trio of Ajax basket-
ball players helped the U17 Team
Ontario boys to the silver medal
at the national championships
held at the University of Manito-
ba in Winnipeg.
Kaza Kajami-Keane and MiKyle
McIntosh from Pickering High
School, along with Agunwa Oko-
lie from Denis O’Connor helped
Ontario advance to the gold
medal game of the tournament,
where the team dropped an 86-
75 decision to Quebec. Ontario
was down by 12 at the half and as
many as 16 in the fourth quarter.
McIntosh led the way in the
championship game, scor-
ing 11 points and hauling in 13
rebounds while blocking four
shots in 26:23 minutes of playing
time. Keane saw 20:27 minutes
of action, scoring five points and
contributing three assists, while
Okolie chipped in with six points
and three rebounds in 15:12 min-
utes of playing time.
Ontario opened the tourna-
ment with a convincing 114-55
decision over Newfoundland,
building leads of 31-13 at the
end of the first quarter and 49-
27 by halftime. Keane had a huge
game, knocking down 20 points,
including six three pointers.
The next outing against British
Columbia was a little closer, with
Ontario prevailing 77-69. The
provincial squad was up 41-27 at
the half, but BC made a game of
it in the third quarter, narrowing
the gap to just two points late in
the quarter.
In the quarterfinals against
New Brunswick, a close game
through three quarters was put
away in the fourth quarter, as
Ontario widened the gap from
seven, to 10, eventually winning
85-58.
Saskatchewan were no match
for Ontario in the semifinals, as
the provincial squad jumped
out to a 10-2 lead early, opened
up a 41-24 advantage at the half
and cruised to an 89-53 victory
to advance to the national cham-
pionship game against Quebec,
who beat British Columbia in the
other semi.
For his efforts in the tourna-
ment, Okolie was selected as a
first team all-star. He finished the
tournament with 53 points in the
five games, adding 19 rebounds
and six blocked shots to his stats.
Keane finished with 44 points
overall, chipped in 24 assists
and had 14 rebounds. McIntosh
had 25 points and 28 rebounds,
blocking 19 shots in the tourna-
ment.
The Ontario team also won a
bronze medal earlier in the sum-
mer at a tournament in Argenti-
na.

Pickering
in Vaughan
for OJHL
season
opener
DURHAM -- For Durham’s two
remaining Ontario Junior Hock-
ey League teams, the new season
is drawing near.
The 2010-11 regular season will
commence in less than a month
for both the Pickering Panthers
and Whitby Fury, the league
announced in a press release.
The Panthers, which merged
with the Ajax Attack following
last season as the league went
with its mandate to lessen the
number of teams, will open their
season Friday, Sept. 10 on the
road at Vaughan.
Whitby, meanwhile, will open
its campaign a night later, on the
road, too, with a visit to Dixie.
Then on Sunday Sept. 12, the
Panthers and Fury will lock horns
in Whitby’s home opener, 2 p.m.
at Iroquois Park.
The two teams will also face
each other in the regular season
finale, Feb. 13 in Whitby.
This year’s schedule contains
50 games for each team, 25 at
home and on the road.
In addition to announcing the
schedule in their press release,
the league also released the divi-
sional set ups.
The 31 OJHL clubs will com-
pete in two conferences and four
divisions. Teams will only play
games within their own confer-
ence with the majority of games
to be played within their divi-
sion.
Pickering and Whitby will take
to the ice in the East Division of
the South-East Conference along
with Cobourg, Kingston, Lind-
say, Peterborough, Trenton and
Wellington.
The South Division will consist
of Dixie, North York, St. Mike’s,
Streetsville, Toronto, Upper Can-
ada, Villanova and Vaughan.
According to the Panthers’
website, the team will open
training camp Aug. 23 at the Ajax
Community Centre. The first
exhibition game will be Aug. 26
at York University. A home game
is planned in Ajax on Saturday,
Aug. 28 at 7 p.m.
Whitby, meanwhile, will open
up training camp Aug. 22 at Iro-
quois Park and hopes to have
its roster solidified by the time
the team plays its third exhibi-
tion game on Aug. 27 against
Markham.

SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- All the leg
work is done and the games
have begun, says Barbara
Hiemstra.
The Ontario Senior
Games Actifest 2010, got
underway in Oshawa yes-
terday with the opening
ceremonies before kick-
ing into high gear with 19
sports at 11 different ven-
ues over the next two days.
Some of the venues being
used include the campus of
Durham College and UOIT,
Neb’s Funworld, Donevan
Recreation Complex and
Maxwell Heights Second-
ary School.
After all the preparations,
members of the organizing
committee were just happy
to get things underway.
“We’ve been working
hard for the last 10 months,”
Hiemstra, the event’s chair-
man, marketing, sponsor-
ship and communications
person said. “We’re pretty
excited about it all. We have
a very dedicated group
of volunteers and while I
expect there may be a few
hitches, I think it will come
off just fine.”
While in town, the 1,260
athletes registered to com-
pete will ply their trade
in the nearly 20 different
sports, ranging from golf to
slo-pitch, swimming, ten-
nis, bocce, darts and five-
pin bowling among others.
Organizers have also set
the stage and allowed for
some impressive accom-
modations for the visiting
competitors as they will
take up temporary resi-
dence at Durham College
and UOIT for the duration
of the games, turning the
campus into an athletes’
village.
Hiemstra, who is involved
with this side of the Games
for the first time, says it was
a no-brainer to get involved
in the administrative work.
“The purpose,” of the
Games, she said, “is
designed to encourage
older adults to continue
their involvement in sports
and recreation. I had decid-
ed that I am an active per-
son myself and I’d like to
see everyone be active in
various sports and I’ll sup-
port this by volunteering.”
The minimum age
requirement to compete at
the Games is 55.
Hiemstra wasn’t sure who
the oldest athlete compet-
ing was, but did note that
the 75-plus category in the
tennis didn’t yield too many
participants, which to her
suggested that the top-out
age group of competitors
for all the sports was in that
75 to 80 range.
To be eligible for Actifest,
competitors competed
regionally at events such
as the recently-played Dur-
ham Senior Games.
A complete list of sports,
venues and a schedule can
be found at http://www.
actifest2010.com/sport/

PONY CLUB
Riders head west for dressage
KELOWNA, B.C. -- The
Central Ontario Region is
sending three young rid-
ers from Durham Region
to the national dressage
championship being held
Aug. 13-15 in Kelowna,
British Columbia.
Meaghan Lloyd, of the
Durham Pony Club, will
be competing at first level.
A recent graduate of J.
Clarke Richardson Col-
legiate in Ajax, Lloyd has
been a pony club mem-
ber for five years. She also
competes on the nation-
al gold dressage circuit
and last year was reserve
champion at first level.
Johanna McKeen, of the
Oshawa Pony Club, will
compete at the first and
second levels in the affili-
ate members group, for
those 21-25 years old as of
Jan. 1. A Newcastle native,
McKeen has competed
successfully in both dres-
sage and show jumping
in Central Ontario for sev-
eral years and also com-
petes for her University of
Guelph team internation-
ally.
Carolyn Russell-Poli-
quin, also of the Oshawa
Pony Club, will compete
at the third level. The 19-
year-old Orono native has
been accepted at Hart-
pury College, University
of Western England, for
a equine sport science
degree and offered a spot
in the Elite Equine Acad-
emy.
The national dressage
championship comprises
two technical tests, a mys-
tery test, a written test and
a turnout score. The com-
petitors will ride two dif-
ferent horses for each of
the technical tests and will
use one of them for their
mystery test. As shipping
horses around the coun-
try is impractical at this
level of competition, all
entries will be riding bor-
rowed horses, supplied by
the host British Columbia
Interior/Northern Region.
The competitors who
qualify for this competi-
tion are determined indi-
vidually by each region
but typically are champi-
on at a regional dressage
competition or related
competitions with a min-
imum percentage of 58
per cent in their technical
tests.
