They had moved out five years ago and the house was boarded up, but the loss is still tough. Flames, bulldozers flatten homes POTENTIAL HERITAGE STRUCTURES IN PICKERING TO BE DEMOLISHED KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There’s nothing left of the home in which Martin and Sandra Norris raised their children, except for a couple of stones they managed to salvage from the rubble. It was destroyed by fire on Aug. 15, but it would have been demolished anyway. The family has since learned it was one of 42 structures -- including seven deemed his- torically significant -- on the federal lands designated for a possible airport in north Pickering that landlord Transport Canada plans to demolish. The Norris family was not living at the home during the fire. After 26 years in the bungalow built by previous residents, Transport Canada told the family to leave in late 2004 since the home apparently didn’t meet building code standards. The federal government has been renting out houses and boarding up others in the area since it expropriated 18,500 acres in 1972.

BRENNAN newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Conservative government makes no apology for the delay in releasing a report praising the long-gun registry, even as a vote on a bill to kill it nears in the House of Commons next month. “Canadians don’t need another report to know that the long-gun registry is very effi- cient at harassing law-abiding farmers and outdoors enthusiasts, while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars,” said a spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. “They don’t need another report to know that the registry does nothing to prevent crime,” the spokesperson added, echoing the Conservatives’ staunch opposition to the reg- istry, which costs $4 million a year to run. And opposition critics say the government is prepared to sit on the Canadian firearms program evaluation report until after the vote so Canadians won’t be able to see the value in keeping the program. “The government’s position is never let the facts get in the way of ideology,” said Ajax- Pickering Liberal MP Mark Holland. Senior deputy RCMP commissioner Bill Sweeney told the Commons’ public safe- ty committee in May that the report “was extremely positive” and should be released, Mr. Holland said. The House of Commons is to vote Sept. 22 on a Conservative MP’s private member’s bill calling for the controversial registry to be scrapped. Mr. Toews’ office said it was still waiting for the RCMP to sign off on the final version of the evaluation report. For its part, the RCMP says the “long report” is still being translat- ed into French and could be posted on the RCMP website as early as next week. “The report would then be submitted to the Minister for submission to the committee on behalf of the RCMP,” Mr. Toews’ office said. NDP leader Jack Layton on Tuesday called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to let Canadians see the report, which was com- pleted in February and evaluates the effec- tiveness of the Canadian firearms program. “This report was supposed to be tabled in May but the government claimed that it was still in translation,” said Mr. Layton. “There is no way it takes months to translate a report -- they’re stalling for political purposes.” It emerged last week that RCMP Chief Superintendent Marty Cheliak has been removed from his position as director general of the national firearms program. Critics and observers have accused the Conservatives of political interference because Cheliak was a strong supporter of the long-gun registry. The September vote is expected to be a cliff- hanger, with the Liberals and the Bloc Québé- cois voting against the private member’s bill. NDP members with rural roots are torn and could tip the balance in favour of the govern- ment. On Monday, Canada’s police chiefs reaf- firmed their support for the federal long-gun registry and agreed to launch a campaign to persuade political opponents that it is worth saving. Richard J.

Local kids ages 11 and 12 are in the cafeteria at J. Clarke Richardson Colle- giate vigorously shaking freezer bags of milk, cream, sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla. The preteens are making their own ice cream. They are learning about how salt affects the freezing point of water. And they are learning how to be kind to the planet by making something themselves with simple ingredients instead of buy- ing store-bought dessert. “I didn’t think it was actually going to shake into ice cream,” 11-year-old Alex Henry said excitedly after she placed her bag of dairy mixture into another freezer bag of ice and shook it until the ice melt- ed and the concoction thickened. “But my hands are freezing,” she said. Students have come from Ajax and Whitby to participate in IBM’s ASPIRE camp. It’s the first time the camp -- the name an acronym for ‘A Smarter Planet is Reachable for Everyone’ -- has been held in Durham. It’s a project by IBM employees in partnership with the Dur- ham District School Board. The 32 participants came from 17 local schools. They asked principals to nominate stu- dents for the camp who would not nor- mally have access to a lot of science and technology activities and who would be good team players, said Tyler Sparks- Austin, one of the camp’s chairs. IBM has many employees that work locally but without a central office, said Dave Robitaille, IBM’s director of corporate affairs. They work from home, out of the offices of clients or going in and out of various IBM offices in the area. So they connect through a social media network and meet for activities, he said. During a lunch meeting in the win- ter many expressed an interest in doing volunteer work. The group decided to bring the camp, which previously had only been in Ottawa, to Durham, he said. The week-long camp includes a variety of activities falling under daily themes like smarter ecosystems, smarter cities and smarter information. The kids take part in a range of projects throughout the week, including working with Lego Robotics, exploring the DNA of fruit, participating in an eco-scaven- ger hunt and editing their own videos of their camp experience. “The overall agenda is to demonstrate to campers that science, technology and engineering are creative and fun,” Mr. Robitaille said. Campers are heading into Grade 7 in two weeks, which is the age when kids start thinking about their education- al path, which leads to choices about future careers, he said. And of course, it’s still camp and there is time to just be silly. “This morning we got to break the rules,” said 12-year-old Ashley Drouil- lard. “Yeah, we got to scream in the library and we made sculptures out of gum that we chewed,” Ashley’s group mate Alee- sha Uthup added.

Whether it’s family bloopers of the sort highlighted on America’s Funniest Home Videos or more serious footage such as the tape of the Rodney King beating, ama- teur videos have drawn public attention for years. Now, with the popularity of sites like YouTube, it’s easier than ever to share vid- eos and the particularly popular ones can spread like wildfire around the world. One recent example is a video from Eng- land where a woman was caught on closed- circuit television dumping a cat into a gar- bage bin. The cat was trapped in a bin for 15 hours before her owners found her. Turning to the Internet, the cat’s owners posted the video and created a Facebook group called ‘Help Find The Woman Who Put My Cat In The Bin’. The woman was identified and publicly vilified and the story made headlines around the world. Appar- ently police have had to post guards outside the woman’s home because of the anger the video has generated. The question is, why do people in Canada care about a cat being tossed in a dumpster in the UK? I’d say it’s because the behaviour is appall- ing and it prompts a gut reaction: how can anyone do that? Still, if the incident hadn’t been caught on video, I doubt anyone would have had such a visceral reaction. So that cat is famous -- her name is Lola and she’s really cute -- but a Pickering cat left on the doorstep of the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in a sealed Rubbermaid container is just one of hundreds aban- doned locally. Luckily, that cat survived because Second Chance workers came upon her in a timely fashion, but if no one had seen the contain- er, she likely would have suffocated. Closer to home, a street confrontation caught on video is also making headlines. The YouTube video is called ‘Neighbour- hood comes together and kicks out reli- gious haters’ and shows a group of neigh- bours driving off a street-preaching group. Ostensibly, the neighbours chased the group away because it was targeting a gay couple with its preaching. The video has almost 150,000 views after American sex advice columnist Dan Sav- age posted it on his blog, calling the church group Christofascists. Many of the com- ments for the video on YouTube are anti- religion and anti-Christian. The problem is the video doesn’t capture any anti-gay comments and in fact, one of the men who lives in the home said to be targeted has come to the church group’s defence. He defended their right to free speech and said he thought the group chose to hold its sermon near his house because there was a fire hydrant that prevented cars from parking there. He told the Toronto Star the neighbours caught on video confront- ing the church group overreacted. So suddenly, it’s not the church group that comes across as the haters, but rather the people who made the video and the hun- dreds who made assumptions and left nasty comments about the group. One thing is for sure, if old-school print media types at The Star hadn’t taken an interest in the video, we would never have gotten the full story. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter (@rszekely) or e-mail at rszekely@durhamregion.com Online videos draw visceral reactions from global viewers It’s always important for youngsters to have something to which they can aspire. Whether that’s in academics, sports, the arts or other pursuits, those who work towards specific goals often achieve them. A group of Durham Region young- sters had the added benefit last week of learning important insights into sci- ence and technology while simply hav- ing fun. The students, 11 and 12 years old, took part in IBM’s ASPIRE camp that introduced them to big ideas about the environment, physical science, urban living and technology. The camp was led by volunteers with IBM who introduced the kids to ‘A Smarter Planet is Reachable for Every- one’ (ASPIRE) and focused on such themes as eco-systems, smarter cities and smarter information. Other camp elements include exploring the DNA of fruit, or working with LEGO robot- ics, all with a view to letting the chil- dren discover for themselves that sci- ence, engineering and technology can be approached creatively, that fun can be had while one discovers scientific truths. And there the kids were, making ice cream to learn about the interaction of chemical compounds, or creating artis- tic sculptures out of organic matter. Camps such as these can awaken children to future educational or career opportunities, whet their appetite to seek deeper discoveries, and refine their teamwork and social skills. It pro- vides an opportunity for youngsters to work together, share ideas, and find both the learning and the fun factor in each activity. It also helps prepare them for the coming school year where they can bring what they’ve learned to class and share with their peers. In an era of iPads and cellphones, online gaming and social media -- the ever-present tools and gadgets of ado- lescence -- an introduction to good old-fashioned learning through discov- ery provides a marvellous contrast. A tip of the hat to the IBM employees and officials with the Durham District School board for their collective effort in bringing the ASPIRE camp to this group of Durham Region students. The program is clearly a hit with those who took part this year. Expanding it to more schools in the future would allow a wider range of students -- tomorrow’s scientists, engi- neers and researchers -- to discover for themselves the opportunities for learn- ing that exist. It will give them something new, per- haps, to which they can aspire. Something to which Durham Region students can ASPIRE 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 • Au g u s t 2 7 , 2 0 1 0 8 P Don’t miss our GRAND OPENING SAVINGS on new and pre-owned vehicles and specials in our service and parts departments †† † AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AWD TUCSON GLS Limited model shown $500 dealer participation included 20 1 0 SAVE $2,200NO CHARGE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE 1.9%PURCHASE FINANCING FOR 60 MOS.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Members of the Oshawa Vikings Rugby Club played in a Prom Dress Rugby game on Aug. 22, a fundraising contest to raise funds to end breast cancer. A little rain on game day didn’t dampen the spirits of the players who came out for the worthy cause. FUNDRAISER Oshawa Vikings rugby club plays in gowns for breast cancer charity MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com RAGLAN -- The uniform for the Vikings at their scrimmage on Sunday was cleats, mouth guards and cocktail dresses. Instead of donning their usual red and black, men and women from the rugby club put on the ritz to raise some cash for a breast cancer charity. Overcast skies and a little rain didn’t damp- en spirits at the only place where sports bras were acceptable undergarments for spaghetti-strapped gowns. “It’s better in the rain,” said 14-year-old Hannah Peppiatt. “The field is better for sliding.” Peppiatt spent some time before the game started trying to decide which of the two dresses she brought with her was going to be the one for the game. She and some friends had gone to a second-hand store to buy their attire and Hannah bought two, just in case one ripped while she was playing. She eventually settled on a black spandex number with spar- kles and fur on the wrists, rather than a green-and-white halter sundress, after some insisting from her friends. Other garb included a seafoam green bridesmaid frock from one player’s grandmother’s closet, a blue dress with puffy sleeves straight out of an 1980s Molly Ringwald movie and a ground- skimming, light purple, backless gown. Meredith Oxenholm, 23, wore the latter of the three dress- es, something she had originally purchased for a gala that she didn’t end up wearing. It was great to be able to come out and support a cause while playing a game she loves, she said. Hannah’s father Dave was one of the people helping run the fun game. The club got the idea from YouTube videos of other teams doing the same type of fundraiser, he said. “We suggested it to the girls and they ran with it,” Mr. Peppiatt said. “It’s done all over North America and the charity the cash goes to is usually breast cancer.” It’s a cause that hits close to home for him and many others, he said. “You can’t find a person who doesn’t know someone affected by cancer.” Most of the players were from the Viking’s female teams, but even some of the club’s men got into the show putting on flow- ery numbers for the cause. All the players not only put the dresses on, but they also made a minimum donation to the charity to play and organizers col- lected cash from spectators for the cause. It was both fashion show and some friendly but furious com- petition as the teams took to the field. They played 7-on-7 games and took some time to pose for a special “team photo” before the games began. Next year, Mr. Peppiatt said he hopes to expand the fundraiser and invite teams from other areas to participate.

NO HSTADDED * IT’S LIKE THERE’S 40% off 59999 PLUS,ITS LIKE THERE’S NO HST ADDED* PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 905-420-8000 After Transport Canada moved the family to a new home in Brougham, it was boarded up and left vacant. “That was almost 30 years of our life,” Ms. Norris said. Ms. Norris found it hard to drive past the home, but seeing it after the fire was even worse. “In a way it’s like a real definite end for the house,” she said. Pickering Fire Deputy Chief Gord Ferguson confirmed the fire has been deemed suspi- cious. “There’s no power to the place, it’s vacant, so how does it start on fire?” he said. He said another prop- erty burned down in early June. Although Transport Can- ada does have security on the lands, he said they unfortu- nately can’t be everywhere at all times. Ms. Norris wasn’t surprised to learn the home was slated for demolition, given its neglect since 2004. And she doesn’t have much hope for the other vacant homes; just from her window, she can see six board- ed up. “It’s the slowest death you could ever imagine,” she said. In an e-mail, Transport Cana- da spokesman Jeremy Link con- firmed the government intends to demolish 41 structures. “Transport Canada is taking measures to ensure the health and safety of Pickering Lands Site tenants, employees of the Crown or its agents, and the general public by demolishing these vacant, abandoned build- ings,” he said. “These vacant buildings could pose a variety of safety and health concerns including any combination of entrapment hazards, environmental risks such as exposure to mould, deep flooded basements, and compromised structural com- ponents.” Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland hopes to put a stop to unnecessary demolitions, something the Liberal govern- ment had done in the past. He called the structures “mon- uments of mismanagement” and accused the government of allowing them to rot and demol- ishing them to de-populate the community. Therefore he’s not surprised with the recent announcement. “I wish it was a shock but this is something they’ve been doing continually,” he said. Destroying these homes will obliterate a part of Pickering’s history it will never get back, he said. “The problem is once you destroy them, they’re gone for- ever,” he said. Mr. Link said Transport Can- ada has learned seven of the homes are of potential heritage interest to Pickering. “Transport Canada will permit the City of Pickering to access, research and submit requests to relo- cate federally owned buildings that are of local heritage signifi- cance, to sites off the Pickering Lands Site,” he said. He added Transport Cana- da may delay the removal of the seven structures to allow the City to undertake internal assessments. Mr. Holland said he has a decent working relationship with the new transport minister and hopes they can come to an agreement. “If we can’t, obviously I’m going to have to apply as much political pressure as I can to do what we did with other heritage properties,” he said. It still hasn’t been determined whether a Pickering airport will be built. Mr. Holland continues to ask the federal government to release the overdue due dili- gence review to see if an airport has even been deemed neces- sary. It’s the slowest death you could ever imagine.

About 50 people gathered at the Dur- ham Regional headquarters on Aug. 19 for a workshop on the plant, which is native to the Caucasus region between Europe and southwestern Asia. Sap from the plant can cause severe burns and blisters, plus tem- porary or permanent blindness if it comes in contact with the eye. “It’s becoming more widespread. For now, the population is relatively isolated. More are popping up throughout the area,” Diana Shermet, a natural resources heritage ana- lyst with CLOCA, said in an interview. “It’s become more prominent in the last three years,” Ms. Shermet said. “It’s bought as an ornamental. It’s a magnificent plant. It can grow to 14 feet. People use the seeds in ornamental displays. “It’s one of hundreds of invasive species in southern Ontario. There are approximately 440 invasive species in southern Ontario,” Ms. Shermet said. Warren Nicholishen, of the Region’s works department, noted, “It’s not on the list of 24 noxious weeds at the Province. It’s doesn’t meet the criteria to be on the list.” During the workshop, Ken Scarborough, an Oshawa bylaw officer, said, “It’s not an offence to have it. There’s no bylaw that can force (a resident) to take one down. It’s not a noxious weed. Landowners will say it’s an ornamental.” Mr. Nicholishen noted, “I think we’re in the beginning stages of it. We’ve become more aware of it in the last three years. Slow- ly, we’ve become more aware of it.” It reached the point about a month ago that officials decided to gather and look for ways to deal with the problem, he said. “Let’s start at ground zero, bring in the municipalities and conservation authorities and say ‘here’s what we’re dealing with.’ We have to treat it. It’s everybody’s responsibil- ity.” Patricia Lowe of CLOCA noted, “No one organization can take this on alone.” Municipalities and conservation authori- ties are going to set up working groups to deal with the issue and share information. “It’s better to stay on top of one, so the plant doesn’t get away on this,” Mr. Nichol- ishen stated. Dave Pridham of Kawartha Conservation said, “Monitoring will be a huge issue.” If a plant is in a public area, it can be seen, he noted. “There are huge areas of rural properties we don’t see. Many property owners don’t see most of their property.” For more information on giant hogweed: VISIT www.cloca.com REGION Durham gathering seeks solutions to giant hogweed It’s better to stay on top of one, so the plant doesn’t get away on this.

The Pickering Museum Village is offer- ing on-site and outreach programs that have been developed with teachers in mind. They include opportunities for students to touch, see and smell as much as they can while learning about the past. Teachers can choose from many themes that match curriculum guidelines for stu- dents ranging from their preschool years through to post-secondary age. The on-site tour program provides interac- tive learning that touches on everything from pioneers that are studied in the third grade, or the Rebellion of 1837 that is studied in grades 7 and 8. Teachers can also book a class to spend half a day in the village’s log school house, where the school mistress conducts the lesson entirely. Outreach programs on heritage themes are also available, and each in-class pro- gram includes a qualified, costumed instruc- tor who will come to the school and lead the class in hands-on activities such as weaving, stenciling, and butter making. The village is at 2365 Concession Rd. 6 (at Hwy. 7). Teachers can book now by calling Sandra Gelbard.

The roofer installs, repairs and insulates roofs. The coverings could include tar paper, hot asphalt and gravel, liquid elastomer and thermoplastic membranes, as well as different types of shingles. After having erected scaffolding in order to ensure security while working on the roof, the roofer will, in a manner of speaking, complete the work of the carpenter. He ensures that the coverings are well installed in order to guaran- tee water tightness and resistance to the elements, such as rain, snow, hail, wind and sun. This worker is also called on to do insulation work by installing, for example, a vapour barrier, as well as water prooﬁ ng basements, foundations and ter- races. His training has allowed him to acquire knowledge of the application of mathematical notions as well as the properties of products and materials. He is able to estimate costs of materials and to supply estimates. To do his work well, the roofer must be meticulous, have a good sense of or- ganization, good manual dexterity, good enough physical shape to be able to carry heavy objects and be able to adapt to changes in temperature. He must also like working in a team and, obviously, not be afraid of heights.

TELEVISION Dancer aiming to star in series Residents can vote to help Pickering’s Ruby Moreno make the cut MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Ruby Moreno is a Durham girl, but the Pickering dancer hopes to be a cast mem- ber on Lake Shore, a new real- ity series that asks the ques- tion, “What happens when eight vibrant and volatile 20-some- thing Torontonians from different backgrounds, cultures and sexual orientations shack up?” That’s where local residents can help. Of the 25 potentials who audi- tioned, eight will be chosen to appear on the show, slated to hit the small screen early next year. And while four judges will have a 50 per cent say in who makes the cast, fan voting will account for the other half in the process. “I love living in Durham, I love Durham Region and I hope peo- ple vote for me,” Moreno says, not- ing many who auditioned are from Toronto and likely figure they’ll have an edge over, shall we say, out-of-towners from smaller cen- tres. “I know Durham Region can do it.” Moreno says she learned about Lake Shore online while looking for dance auditions. She’s taken a year off school to pursue a profession- al dance career, aiming to attend “every dance audition I could find. “I’ve been dancing since I was two and I’ve been performing in a children’s company since I was about eight,” Moreno says. “And now I’ve branched off into professional dancing this year.” If she makes the show, she has no plans to abandon her dance ambitions, noting that appearing on Lake Shore “would be a great experience” that would get her name out there for future opportu- nities. “It’s a start; it’s a stepping stone,” Moreno says. Vote for her until Sept. 3 at lake- shore.ca. Moreno says the cast will be revealed in mid-September and the exact date of the big announce- ment will be posted on the web- site. Learn more about her on Face- book at Ruby on LAKESHORE.

Performers from Canada, Esto- nia and Cuba will play at chil- dren’s Camp Joekaaru in Udora, just north of Uxbridge, Aug. 28 and 29. Headlining this year’s festival are Cuban singer and composer Luis Mario Ochoa, who will play along- side Latin jazz great Hilario Duran. Canadian jazz drummer Terry Clarke and jazz musician Peter Appleyard, among others, will also perform. “This is the fourth year holding the festival and having this lineup of talent really puts us in the big leagues,” said organizer Tom Kutti. He said the two-day festival promises more than just contin- uous live music. In addition to free parking and free camping, there will be snack bars, a dining hall, barbecue, coffee bar and a licensed bar for the event. Musicians will be available to sign autographs, while CDs, T- shirts and other memorabilia will be on sale. There will also be an art exhibit and sale, silent auction, artisans’ market, beach volleyball tournament and other recreation- al activities throughout the week- end. Kutti said last year’s event drew nearly 800 people despite the weather and he plans for even more this year. He said the main stage is covered by a massive tent that seats more than 400, so rain or shine the event will go on. Proceeds from the festival go toward improvement proj- ects for the children’s camp, which was built in 1953 by post-war Estonian immigrants. Tickets at the door are $40 for adults and $15 for youths aged 13 to 18. Kids under 12 are free.

The storm so devastated New Orleans, it still hasn’t fully recovered and proba- bly never will. But I am reminded of a particularly worrisome news report that spread during the immediate Katrina fallout: Fats Domino was missing. What could have turned into a lousy fadeout for a musical icon instead ended up being the happiest news of the day. Fats Domino, 77, was found safe and unharmed, although naturally shaken up by the ordeal he went through. Domino, his wife Rosemary and other family members, were rescued from a third-floor bal- cony of their home, having been forced there by the rising flood waters. Our hearts went out to Fats Domino and his family. A private, somewhat shy and humble man who hadn’t been heard from in recent years, Fats Domino was briefly brought into the limelight again and remind- ed us of the living music star still around. Since Katrina, Domino has become more visible. Antoine ‘Fats’ Domino reigned supreme as an upper echelon in music chart tabulations during a dynamic 1950s recording run with West Coast-based Imperi- al Records. His distinguishably deep yet sensitive vocals went hand-in-hand with the familiar assistance of repetitive or rollick- ing keyboards that were part of Domino’s performing trademark. It should be noted that many of the major hits originated from his pen or in collaboration with Dave Bartholomew. The wonderful plaintive style, as evidenced by the many record- ings, endeared Domino to the public. Here are 10 of his greatest songs: • I Want To Walk You Home (1959). Domino moves into a long- ing, heartfelt vocal performance on a strolling, mid-tempo classic. • I’m Walkin’ (1957). Still sounds fresh today. Forcefully plunges along, always ready to provide a perfect dancing opportunity. It’s not easy to stand or sit still to this one. • Walkin’ To New Orleans (1960). Domino’s homage to his beloved town, very effectively contains the use of strings. • Whole Lotta Lovin’ (1958). An eminent and unremitting rocker that’s as good as any ever made. • Be My Guest (1959). Interesting to note that this easy-to-remem- ber song influenced Jamaican Ska music by a predominant offbeat sound. • Are You Going My Way (1956). Infectiously attractive piano riff renders a happy, youthful and carefree tune, as reflected by Dom- ino’s vocal urgency. • I’m Ready (1959). With this song, Domino still had that rock ‘n’ roll fire in his blood. • Swanee River Hop (1956). Nota- ble instrumental has versatile Fats pounding away at a frantic pace on this tight boogie-woogie classic. • Mardi Gras In New Orleans (1953). Epitome of the renowned New Orleans rhythm of sound, a mix of the blues, mambo and rumba. • You Done Me Wrong (1954). Purely strong mover that could have just as easily been recorded in 1958, when the new musical craze called rock ‘n’ roll reached its zenith. The spirited, joyous simplicity of Fats Domino’s songs continue to live on. Andrew Merey is a Whitby resident who’s interested in music and movie history.

Durham Region players McIntosh and Ongtengco-Hintzen on U17 World Cup roster OTTAWA -- A pair of Durham Region athletes will represent Canada at the FIFA U17 Wom- en’s World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago. Canada’s head coach Bryan Rosenfeld announced the 21 players who will comprise the roster and they include Ajax United play- ers Zakiya McIntosh of Ajax and Whitby’s Yazmin Ongtengco-Hintzen. The 16-team competition is being held in five cities across the Caribbean nation from Sept. 5-25. Canada, the CONCACAF champion, is par- ticipating in its second consecutive World Cup. “The team has worked hard over the past four months,” said coach Rosenfeld in a story on the Soccer Canada website. “Now that the final selections have been made our focus is on the details that will best prepare the team for the group stage. The players and staff are anxious and excited to begin our final prepa- ration process as our opening match grows closer.” Canada has been drawn into Group D and will face Ghana, the Republic of Ireland, and Brazil in its three group matches. The young Canucks open against Ghana on Sept. 6 before facing the Republic of Ireland three days later. Both matches are taking place at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima, Trinidad. Canada concludes group play against Bra- zil on Sept. 13 at the Mannie Ramjohn Sta- dium in Marabella, Trinidad. All of Canada’s matches are being shown live on CBC Bold and streamed on cbcsports. ca for local fans to keep track. Each match will then be re-broadcast on the main CBC network at midnight on game day. Preparations for the tournament have begun with Canada taking a week-long trip to Florida for a camp before they head off to Trinidad. Canada has a tune-up match scheduled against Korea Republic next Monday. Canada qualified for Trinidad and Tobago 2010 by virtue of winning the 2010 CONCA- CAF Women’s U17 Championship in March. “Our roster that won the CONCACAF championship has remained largely intact,” said Rosenfeld. “Unfortunately two players, Katherine Caverly and Sabrina Hémond, are unfortu- nately out of the squad due to injury. We are very confident with the new players who will replace their roles.” The 16 nations competing in the World Cup Trinidad and Tobago 2010 are: host Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Ghana, Republic of Ireland, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, and Venezuela. This will mark Canada’s second consecu- tive appearance at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup following its participation at New Zealand 2008. Rosenfeld coached the Canadian squad to the quarterfinals of that tournament before falling to Germany. This season, coach Rosenfeld has seen 40 different players in his national camps. The final roster selection of 21 players features 14 players born in 1993, six born in 1994 and one who was born in 1995. Canoe club helps community get active PICKERING -- A $67,800 grant the West Rouge Canoe Club (WRCC) received from the Ontario Trilli- um Foundation (OTF) helped the local club expand programming geared towards youth and people with disabilities. OTF representative Penny Smith joined Mayor Dave Ryan to con- gratulate the WRCC at its Open House/Pep Rally barbecue event held at Frenchman’s Bay. “The West Rouge Canoe Club provides the community with a wonderful opportunity to partici- pate in an exciting physical sport as well as being part of an engaging social club,” said Wayne Arthurs, MPP for Pickering-Scarborough East. “What better way to enjoy Lake Ontario than in a canoe.” “It is always exciting when youth can participate in a healthy and fun outdoor recreational activity. By providing more outdoor activi- ties to youth and participants with physical and developmental dis- abilities, West Rouge Canoe Club is improving the quality of life in our area,” said Joe Dickson, MPP for Ajax-Pickering. WRCC received funding from OTF in June 2009 to fund a health- ier and more physically active community through the enhance- ment and expansion of club equipment. The OTF grant has been used to purchase a dragon boat, war canoe and club truck, which in turn help enhance the quality of the programs provided to the community. More children, youth and individuals with dis- abilities were introduced to the sport through the use of the new and stable crew boats. “WRCC desires to get local people involved, developing the hearts, minds and bodies of our community,” said Commodore Belinda Lyn. The West Rouge Canoe Club has been serving the Pickering com- munity since 1958. WRCC cele- brates 52 years of promoting water safety, paddling, canoeing and other games of sports and arrang- ing regattas and competitions in Durham Region.

Internationally, Mr. Rubin is best known for his prescient calls on oil prices. Mr. Rubin was one of the first economists in the world to accurately predict the rise of oil prices over the last decade to recent triple-digit levels. Over the course of his career in financial markets, Mr. Rubin’s calls on interest rates and foreign exchange markets won him a number-one ranking in economics in the Brendan Wood International survey of institutional investors in Canada on no less than ten separate occasions. Mr. Rubin’s insights into global energy markets have made the front page of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and have been cited in the Economist, Newsweek and USA Today. He has made numerous appearances on ABC, CBS, CNN and CNBC. On the podium, Mr. Rubin is a provocative speaker who brings unparalleled insight and candor to his presentations. Read Mr. Rubin’s insights in his widely followed blog, “Jeff Rubin’s Smaller World,” carried by the Huffington Post in the United States and the Globe and Mail website in Canada.

The Pickering rider will be on the starting line when the best young racers in the world con- verge at Mont St. Anne in Quebec from Sept. 1-5 to contest a course that is the same one Bietola raced on last year in World Cup. At last year’s world championships she finished 23rd out of 30, and has it in her mind that a top-12 placing is achievable this time around. “Definitely I have more experi- ence this year, racing at that pace and racing against international riders,” she says of the advantage she will have in her second go- round. “I have more preparation this year and it’s a home course for me too. “I raced the World Cup there last year and it’s the same course. I know the course already so it should be easier.” The preparations for this year’s world championships have been hectic for Bietola, who is returning to Grade 12 at Notre Dame Catho- lic Secondary School to upgrade marks for university, where she hopes to study geology at the Uni- versity of Waterloo. The schedule included six weeks of training in February and March in South Car- olina, with the competitive season starting shortly thereafter. She was in Europe with the national team as part of a develop- ment process this summer, but a sprained ankle incurred while rid- ing on the course just before a race in Switzerland relegated her to the sidelines. In Italy for the second of the two races, she finished ninth out of 25 riders in the U19 division. At the provincial championships in Uxbridge she finished first, secur- ing the overall title for accumulat- ing the most points on the circuit based on finishes. She also finished on the podium in all of her Canada Cup races, including a first place at Mont Tremblant, Que. She also showed her versatility on the bike, switching from the wide tires of her mountain bike to the hybrid tires of a road racing bike. At the Canadian Road Nationals in Edmonton, her top placing gar- nered her a spot on the team that competed at the world champion- ships in Italy. A strong ride there placed her 28th, tops among Cana- dians. “It’s definitely a big difference,” she says of racing on a smooth, paved road as opposed to ducking tree limbs and negotiating her way over rocks in the forest on a moun- tain bike course. “The pace and speeds are still really intense, it’s just a whole different atmosphere between mountain bike and road.” She’s hoping to harness some of that speed and intensity for the worlds.

Sharp, a member of the Ajax Comets Baton Club, along with athletes from Bur- lington, Hamilton, Oakville, Oshawa and as far away as Alberta, formed team Alli- ance and trained hard over the past two years with their coach, Kim Genton, to develop their routine to a level that would make Canadians proud on the world stage. “This was the experience of a lifetime. When I started twirling 12 years ago, I had no idea I’d be travelling the world to represent Canada. I will never forget the skills I have learned and the friendships made along the way,” Sharp said. Traditionally, Japan, France, and U.S.A. have taken the top three spots on the podium at this event. Knowing this, Alli- ance had three spots available to them. First round competition took place with 14 countries performing, including Aus- tralia, Belgium, Canada, Catalonia, Eng- land, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Neth- erlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and U.S.A. At day’s end, Alliance sat in fifth place with only the top six teams advanc- ing to second round. In the next round, Alliance took the floor with confidence and executed a per- formance that not only maintained their fifth place standing, but also increased their overall score. Final team standings were Japan, France, U.S.A., Italy, Canada and Belgium. Overall, Canada took the World Cup 4th place standing for all individual and team routines performed at the championship.

PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Durham Windows and Doors Brings Mobile Showroom To Your Door Wayne Hutchison brings to the replacement window and door business a new and long overdue feature. It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa.
