UXBRIDGE: The public had one last chance to fire off an address to councillors this week regarding the proposed firearms by-law at council’s meeting on the morning of Monday, June 9.

Throughout the past year, the matter has been the subject of ongoing debate, with Uxbridge Shooting Sports, located on Conc. 4, and its neighbours at the forefront of much of the discussions relating to the proposed by-law.

Both groups appeared before council to submit their final thoughts on the proposed by-law, and presented a willingness to work together in reaching a harmonious resolution to the ongoing matter of noise emanating from the site, which has been in operation since 1965.

“Overall this version is very good,” commented local resident Glenn Pociluyko, adding that area residents still had four issues they would like to see addressed before councillors make their final decision on the matter next week.

Implementation timing was the first such concern, with residents asking that the township act in a way that will minimize delays in implementing the by-law.

Scugog candidates coming forward F RO M PAG E 1

Ward 3 Councillor Jim Howard has yet to announce his running to keep his chair on Scugog Island. Meanwhile, Town Crier Bill McKee and Don Kett plan to campaign for improved infrastructure, servicing and streets on Scugog Island.

Aaron Hopkins filed his nomination papers recently, and will challenge incumbent Ward 4 Councillor Wilma Wotten for the right to represent Blackstock, Nestleton, and the eastern portion of the Township.

Port Perry’s downtown core north of Queen St. will see a race between Scugog’s Ward 5 Councillor Howard Danson Jen Back. The area faces significant pressures and positives in the coming term, due to intensification efforts and the protection of its historic neighbourhoods.

Residents interested in running for office in the 2014 Municipal Election are encouraged to attend one of two upcoming information sessions, held on Thursday, June 19 at the Abilities Centre in Whitby from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. - or on Wednesday, June 25 at the Uxbridge Municipal Office, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

RED LETTER DAY: Students of Port Perry High School were recognized for their extracurricular involvement on Thursday, June 5, with the presentation of the PPHS Senior Letters after the 2014 final assembly.

Two charged after windows shot out in Uxbridge UXBRIDGE: Two local men are facing charges after an Uxbridge driver recently received only minor injuries after his windshield was shattered by a BB gun.

According to police, on Wednesday, May 21, at approximately 6 p.m., a motorist was driving on Dominion St. near Main St., in Uxbridge when his front passenger window shattered. He managed to pull over safely even though the projectile struck him in the arm. He suffered minor injuries that did not require medical attention.

A parked car in the same area also had a shattered window. Unknown suspects were firing a BB gun from a point in that area, causing other minor damage to a house window and nearly striking passing cyclists.

Witnesses assisted police with finding the location of the suspects and two males were arrested without incident.

Uxbridge and Corey Phillips, age 19 of Wagg Rd. in Uxbridge, are charged with: two counts of Common Nuisance, as well as two counts of Possession of Weapons Dangerous. Both were released on Undertakings with conditions.

Police are reminding residents that non-powder firearms, such as BB guns and air guns, are not benign toys. They can obtain projectile velocities high enough to cause skin penetration and significant internal damage.

Uxbridge council pressing for firearms by-law solution F RO M PAG E 1

As well, the resident’s group is seeking to limit days of operation for Uxbridge Shooting Sports.

“We’re looking for two edits. The first is no more than one Saturday of shooting per month, and the second is for any additional shooting days, that local residents be given 180 days notice to plan activities around,” added Mr. Pociluyko.

The group also men-

tioned acoustical noise reports and wording issues as areas of concern over the by-law in its present form, and mentioned the residents’ desire to work with Uxbridge Shooting Sports.

“We’re not against Uxbridge Shooting Sports,” said Mr. Pociluyko. “Let’s try and find a way to be reasonable and work together to find a solution that can serve everyone for

the next several decades.”

Steve Malcolm of Uxbridge Shooting Sports also addressed councillors, and shared some of the measures taken to limit noise on the club’s property.

Mr. Malcolm told councillors that the club has planted almost 10,000 trees since 1995 for noise abatement, as well as the recent relocation of a shooting venue in the northeast area of the property, and restric-

tions on the amount of powder used in shotgun shells. The club is also working towards establishing a berm around the property.

“We are working diligently with an engineer to craft a sound mitigation strategy before we begin building berms,” added Mr. Malcolm. “We want to make sure we do it the right way.”

As well, the club will be appointing a public relations officer to in-

form nearby residents of future special events at Uxbridge Shooting Sports.

“We’re willing to make things better for our neighbours,” said Mr. Malcolm.

However, Mr. Malcolm added that changes to the club’s hours of operation laid out in the current proposed by-law, would “make it impossible for the club to be viable,” and requested some slight changes to the hours of operation, adding that there would be no Saturday events on long weekends, and only six Saturday events per year.

Lawyer Justin Fogarty spoke to councillors on behalf of the Goodwood Club, and had harsh words for councillors regarding the proposed by-law, and also threatened legal action against the municipality should the by-law pass in its present form.

“Our club has been thrown under the bus by an overreaching bylaw,” said Mr. Fogarty. “I

have never seen a situation where a council has pushed through a bylaw without the proper amount of public consultation. In my experience, there is no way this bylaw will pass the muster under the Ontario Superior Court of Law.” Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor replied that she was disappointed in his comments, adding that “it would have been much better to hear their concerns, rather than what bad people we are.”

The mayor added that while this has been a long process, hopefully when the matter is finally dealt with by council next week, it will produce a decision that will be beneficial for all parties in the future.

“Next week, council will be dealing with this,” commented Mayor O’Connor. “It hasn’t been an easy process for council, residents, Uxbridge Shooting Sports or the Goodwood Club.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to bring something forward that we can all live with.”

For 50 years they’ve walked through life hand-in-hand as husband and wife.

Together they’ve built a love that’s true and now we will honor the day they said “I Do”.

What a remarkable milestone!

Thank you for showing us what true love is all about!

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary!

Love, All of your friends and family xo

NORTH DURHAM ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling Baby squirrels, chipmunks, redwings and mourning doves- just what I need (don’t)! As I write this the sky is ablaze with colour, after a drab, drizzly day. But what a week it has been!

Monday night was the Official Board meeting at Sandford. Unfortunately Rev. Diane was still sick.

Wednesday at the museum, Amber Scaife gave a very descriptive and moving presentation about her trip to the beaches of Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day and a museum neighbour displayed his large-scale model bomber and talked about the planes flown during both world wars.

Thursday was Sandford’s Pork BBQ. We worked harder than we ever have (maybe slower) but the effort paid off, as always.

Thanks to all those weary volunteers and those who came to enjoy. It was good to see Brenda Moore able to help.

“Friday at the Foster” was standing room only as “Poor Tom” performed their very best concert ever. Their beautiful harmonies, many instrumentals changes and vitality enthralled the crowd. The standing ovation brought the ladies to tears, as they had done with their music.

Saturday was a gorgeous day for all the community activities. Congratulations to Eric and Arika Smalley, wed in an outdoor

ceremony presided over by Rev. Diane.

Many friends, neighbours and relatives attended. St. Paul’s Anglican five-choir concert, piano fund-raiser on Saturday night, was a wonderful variety of music types all in one. Carol Hicken sang with both Monday Morning Singers and One Voice. Carol Gibson accompanied Belle Nove. The mass choir at the end was wonderful!

On Sunday, many attended the 95th birthday celebration of a great lady, Ullah Shier. Deborah Clements was playing her bag-pipes for her. Her relatives and friends are legion! Bob and Ev Meek also managed to get to the Leask gathering that same afternoon.

Sorry to report Marg Hackner is not doing so well. Dorothy Risebrough spent some days in hospital but is now home.

We wish them better health and also quick healing to those l ladies who are about to undergo surgery.

Don’t forget the yard sale at Zephyr Church next Saturday. Donation of items would still be appreciated. We are collecting craft items for use at Camp Big Canoe.

Please drop off at the church or leave with me in the next week or so. Peter Doling is still seeking donations for his Cardiac Walk of Life.

Sandford Decoration is scheduled for Sunday, June 22.

SEAGRAVE by Robin Drew & Jean Short Canoe the Nonquon was a huge event in Durham, and the bridges in Seagrave attracted many people trying to catch a glimpse of the participants.

Local resident Lucas Fisher hung out on his dock and gave out free water and treats to the participants while cheering them on! It’s so nice to see young people getting involved and being so thoughtful! Way to go Lucas!

The Greenbank & District Lions Club are actively recruiting representative male or female members from the Seagrave area so that they can expand their Community Service Activities in this section of their assigned jurisdiction. Residents of Seagrave are welcomed to attend the Lion Volunteer Award night on Wednesday, June 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the Greenbank Hall, or the free Meet the Lions Breakfast on Sunday, June 22 at 9

a.m. at the Greenbank Hall. Phone 905-9853723 to register. The Lions are still accepting donations of scrap metal and electronics. All Lion money raised goes back into community projects.

Birthday wishes to Marjorie Chambers and John Kent, and a belated Happy Anniversary to Wynn and Wendy Hughes, Brett and Robin Drew, Frank and Eva Molnar, and a Happy 89th anniversary to The United Church of Canada on Tuesday, June 10!

PRINCE ALBERT by Pat Boyd It has been brought to my attention that someone without any conscience and a lack of regard for others has the audacity to remove flowers and plants reverently placed on the grave sites in Pinegrove Cemetery. This is a serious situation for those who wish to honour their loved ones and there is a concern as Decoration Sunday is coming up on June 22.

Does this mean that all the loving care to remember loved ones will be destroyed?

The annual barbecue to celebrate the end of the church year in Prince Albert will be on Sunday,

June 22, after the regular church service. Please bring a salad or dessert, plus cutlery and dishes.

There will be a service the following Sunday in the church before we close for the summer months.

At church, John and Joanne Olivero greeted all. The choir’s anthem, “My Song Doth Bless the Lord”, and special organ selection by organist Stuart Beaudoin, provided lovely music on Pentecost Sunday. Guest Darlene Hallett reviewed the history of the Union of churches on June 10, 1925, which resulted in the birth of the United Church of Canada.

GEOFF CARPENTIER

Gone before you notice

We often hear about the disastrous rate at which wildlife species disappear around the globe – uncounted numbers are already be gone and thousands more threatened. There are estimated to be 8.7 million species of living organisms known to occur on Earth but there may be millions more yet to be discovered – most are microscopic and obviously hard to find or identify, but they’re out there nonetheless. Others are bigger - witness the number of new mammals, insects, fish, reptiles and birds found in recent years – the Carnivorous Olinguito, a raccoon like critter from South America, four new species of Arapaima (a large fish) from the Amazon basin, Australia’s Cape Melville Shade Skink, a new species of Leaftailed Gecko, the Carolina Hammerhead Shark, the Elachura, a new Himalayan bird and Luchihormetica luckae, a glow in the dark cockroach to mention only a few of the hundreds of new species found in recent years.

The race is on to try to find new species before they are gone forever. Scientists generally agree that between 0.01 and 0.1 per cent of all species will become extinct each year.

How is that even possible? In the past 500 years, we know of approximately 1,000 species that have gone extinct, but this number is assuredly inaccurate as it only counts the obvious and known ones – the Tasmanian Wolf, the Dodo, Passenger Pigeon, Labrador Duck and Carolina Parakeet to name but a few. Where did they go and why? Well, there are many reasons – overhunting, habitat loss, disease, parasites, mining, buildings, pets, cars, pesticides, other pollutants, climate change, and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, meteor strikes and hurricanes – and the list goes on. Sometimes it is surprising that there is anything left at all. It is known that we are likely on the verge of a mass extinction episode due to numerous causes – mostly human induced, with climate change, pollution, habitat loss and industrialization leading the pack.

But what of the ones that are still here and struggling to survive? The lucky ones are those that are identified and have someone who cares. Witness the Whooping Crane and California Condor – both brought back from the edge of extinction. But they only represent a tiny fraction of the species that need help, and helping them is expensive.

The glamorous ones get saved, other simply disappear. But what if nobody even notices they are disappearing until it’s too late? I think as a youth how easy it was to find a groundhog, virtually along any road, country or urban. One of the first signs of spring was sadly the road-killed carcass of these large rodents. Now, I see only one or two a year.

They do persist, but their numbers are unsustainably low in many areas. Hunting, cars and changing farming practices, where headlands are tilled, likely led to much of their decline. The American Kestrel seems to be somewhat plentiful in some areas, but in others, they are totally absent. What happened? Pesticides on their wintering grounds and habitat loss are likely the most negatively contributing factors. I guess the messages entrenched in this gloomy column are that we need to be alert to all things around us and aware that things do disappear without fanfare. Think not only of impacts of mining and farming in the Amazon rainforest or the devastating wildlife hunts in the Middle East, but think also of our own fields and farms as habitat is replaced with solar farms, soil dumps and houses.

We are no less involved in forcing animals to disappear than those in other parts of the world.

I won’t get on a band wagon now, but do what you can, be alert and aware and simply care and it will make a difference – a small one perhaps, but nonetheless important.

The Standard

EDITORIAL Final election thoughts

This is it, June 12 - Election Day in Ontario.

At press-time, The Standard wasn’t sure who won the leadership of Ontario, but we sincerely hope you made the trip to cast your ballot.

If you’re reading this on June 12, and have yet to vote, put down the paper, walk, drive or swim to your location (easily found at www.wemakevotingeasy.ca) and get counted. It’s okay, the paper will be here when you get back.

In the final days leading up to this latest provincial election, there seemed to be a continuous buzz of ‘I don’t know if I even will vote.’ Even if you don’t mark a name, write ‘no vote’ - at least you turned out and will have your frustrations counted.

While many remain frustrated with the politics, politicians and parties in this province - voter apathy is the real danger.

Not sure which one to pick? Do some research.

Don’t like any of them? Talk about your reasoning and spark a conversation with your friends and family.

At all costs, retain the right to democracy.

Besides, the less people that fill out ballots means the less accurate a cross-section of the Durham Riding and our community we attain.

Here’s hoping Durham saw a strong turnout, and that the best candidate was voted in. Rest assured, The Standard will have a personal interview with the winner as fast as we can.

As evidenced by our Opinion section on Page 9 of this week’s Standard, the people of North Durham are not afraid to stand up for what they believe and feel - let’s carry it into action at the polls.

In other news, this marks the end of election-based Editorials for the time being - until the municipal election heats up in a couple of months.

Port Perry Fairgrounds is at risk for redevelopment To the Editor, Comments on Proposals to change official plan designation on Fairgrounds Property from Open Community Space and Park to Developed Residential and Commercial space.

It may come as a surprise to some of you that we have been down the road to changing the use of the fairgrounds property in previous times; the result being a firm response from the community to preserve that fairgrounds property as an open space and park in the center of the community not as space for the development of housing but as priceless breathing space within the community; as a space where the residents of the community can enjoy the unstructured space and where activities of

free living can occur without having to join an organization or pay usage fees.

Such is the daily use of the Fairgrounds; it is not an unused vacant fairgrounds as some of you may believe; but a very active activity space where many people seek refuge and open space within the town on a daily basis. It serves best by being open and free.

Some of the activities are community wide in their scope: examples of which are the annual Port Perry Agricultural Fair: The marshalling area for the Santa Clause Parade: the MLS Walk: The Terry Fox Run: The Farm Safety Program: 4H Program Days etc.

Other activities are on a more individual and spontaneous basis: Running; School activity days; personal walking and rehabilitation exercises; “getting up” steam and

“letting off” steam!; playing ball and running your dog; It is my personal belief that the Fairgrounds Property is too valuable to trade off for money and could never be replaced. It is unique and sacred trust that all previous councils have had the wisdom to preserve. If the reasoning of this council is that to property is now developable because of “Sewerage” being available, I would suggest that they “elevate” their collective minds to a higher level more appropriate for their elected responsibility.

There is plenty of open space on the periphery of Port Perry that would be easily developable at no cost to our “heritage lands.”

OPINION

North Durham community rallies to defend Pride Flag To the Editor,

To the Editor,

To the Editor,

I am writing this to our local community papers to inform our families that our elementary schools still aren’t safe! Not only are some of our public schools not taking a stand on child inclusivity by raising a Pride flag, but they are openly employing caregivers whom actively fuel homophobia and leave our young and impressionable children and teens with values of fear, disrespect, and stigma.

Raising a Pride flag for one week a year is not about promoting homosexuality in our children. It’s about providing an environment that takes a stand against bullying and righteousness. Children who have queer parents should be given the opportunity to have their families recognized and accepted.

Moreover, youth whom identify as queer need the active promotion on the part of the adults in their lives to feel safe and strong and loved. How many more suicides and murders will be the direct result of homophobia?

Lastly, to my strong, confident, courageous teen children who have stood up to their peers, friends families, schools and churches because they have two moms I say thank you. Thank you for trusting that love is never wrong. I’m sorry that you need to constantly defend your family. And to my sweet naive three-year-old whom only knows his mommies are his everything: I thank God this week that you are not yet able to read.

You’ve been spared an insult against your family. I can only hope that when you go to school your teachers and principal take a stand and raise the flag to let you know that you are equal, and your family is as valued as your friends of heterosexual parents, single parents, foster parents, and any other type of family structure that is built on love.

I am writing in response to the letter “Local woman concerned with Gay Pride Flag,” which was published in the June 5, 2014 edition of The Standard.

Recently, after dropping my daughter off at RH Cornish P.S., I smiled when I saw the Gay Pride Flag flying in front of the school. My first child is finishing up Junior Kindergarten, and I am so proud of how much she and the teachers have accomplished in her first year of schooling. The environment at the school has been one of patience, inclusion and understanding. I am thrilled that my children will grow up in a school where these values are promoted.

I was dismayed to hear that one of the kindergarten lunch room supervisors had a “concern” about “the influence a ‘Gay Pride Flag’ may have on these young developing minds” and her “family values.” How could a message that we should love and accept people for who they are be a concerning thing? If my children grow up to be LGBT, should I love them any less because of “family values?”

Would not “family values” demand that I love them just the same? Would anyone think that a flag promoting acceptance and pride steered them toward a particular sexual preference? I am quite sure kindergarteners simply think rainbows are pretty.

I trust that R.H. Cornish P.S. will help my wife and I teach my children fair values and mold them into responsible, free-thinking individuals that can make intelligent life decisions on their own. The principal’s decision to fly the Gay Pride Flag assures me that, whoever my children grow up to be, the school will accept, value, and support them. To this I say, “Bravo!”

Kevin Steckley Scugog To the Editor,

To the Editor,

To the Editor,

Jeannine Trudeau’s letter last week regarding the flying of the Gay Pride Flag initially presented a reasonable debate as to whether we should be flying flags of specific causes at Elementary schools. As the letter continued though, it become obvious to me that the topic of flying the flag was secondary to the undertone of anti gay discrimination. She questions what influence the flying of the flag may have on “young developing minds” as well as “family values” How the flag will influence the “young developing minds” is that it will teach them we live in a society that teaches tolerance and an understanding of individual freedoms. It well may educate them that a loving family may have two “daddies” or two “mommies” and that this is okay.

I often laugh how people use the “freedom of speech” line to allow themselves to spread narrow minded views. While flying the Gay Flag does advocating a specific “cause”, it is also advocating a now given “right”.

What concerns me more is the fact that as a Supervisor in the Kindergarten lunch room, this kind of attitude could be passed down to the next generation. Guaranteed there are gay children in R.H. Cornish school and they need your support.

P.S. This could also include one of your three grandchildren. Just a reminder!

I am writing this in regards to a letter that was published in The Standard.

It is a letter written by a closed minded individual in regards to RH Cornish flying a rainbow flag and how this may affect children and family values, she also goes on to thank the schools in town that are not flying the flag.

Here is how the flag will affect your family values, that’s right, yours, not mine. It won’t.

Your family values may include hatred, bigotry , ignorance and intolerance , however, mine don’t.

My family values include teaching my children that everyone is equal. They include respect, tolerance and acceptance. Which is what this flag stands for.

A rainbow flag will not make your child, or grandchild gay. It wont. I promise. If you really think that , then you need to open your eyes and take a look around you. We live in a beautiful town that has a great school.

By flying this flag they are saying that everybody is accepted here. This is a safe place and we are all the same. They are teaching kids respect and tolerance.

For that I am thankful, that teachers and principals have the same ideas for my kids as I do, that you may be different from someone else, but that’s okay.

Maybe if you don’t agree with this, you should stop working there. Maybe take your grand kids to a school that does not fly a sign of acceptance, a school that you have stated that you are thankful for.

I actually feel sorry for you, sorry that your beliefs are keeping you from knowing and meeting some amazing people that are full of love and kindness.

I for one am thankful that this letter has been printed twice, it lets me show my kids that people like you do truly exist, right here in our town and teaches them exactly what not to be like.

Good day!

In response to Jeannine Trudeau’s article where she took offence to R.H. Cornish, the municipal office and the Port Perry High School displaying the Gay Pride Flag.

I take my hat off to the leaders of our community who have the courage to include all without prejudice and not be afraid of public opinion.

To me it is not the young minds that you have to be worried about, they already show acceptance to all walks of life. It’s the older minds that lack the ability to accept all that has me concerned.

Isn’t freedom of speech wonderful.

Lindsey Venning Port Perry

To the Editor, Yes, we do need the Gay Pride Flag to teach that we are inclusive. I hope that it will influence young developing minds.

We all have family values and I would hope that one of those values would be to teach tolerance for our differences. Too many young people have been criticized and bullied for being Gay. Our community consists of so many good and valuable people who are Teachers, Doctors, Nurses , Ministers, have Businesses, are Politicians, Police, Parents and I could go on. Instead of being concerned about their sexual orientation we want to recognize and value their contribution to our community.

There is so much that is of concern in our world, poverty, hatred, war, and abuse. Instead, let’s put our focus on finding ways to improve living situations and reduce the suffering of others.

Congratulations to Ms. Trudeau for “doing some research” into what she already suspected - that f lying a rainbow f lag supports the cause of gay people.

In a short time, its meaning has expanded to include all those people who continue to feel alienated in society.

I think Ms. Trudeau needs to do some more research into her own psyche in order to understand why she finds flying this flag so “extremely offensive”. I suspect that her concern for “developing young minds” at the elementary level is just a mask for an inability to accept changing attitudes. I would also challenge her narrow viewpoint as to what, exactly constitutes “family values”.

I see flying such a flag as just a small, peaceful gesture of support for all those students, gay and otherwise, who are made fun of or are alienated. I believe educating students about the differences in people and teaching tolerance should begin as early as possible in age-appropriate ways. Bravo to the principal of R.H. Cornish and other institutions who chose to fly this flag in the face of adversity, which obviously continues to exist.

Glory Days descends on CTMP later this month J. WALLY NESBITT The Standard

The local racing scene shifts into top gear in June with a great variety of motorsport action throughout the Durham and Kawartha area.

The Peterborough Speedway schedule is well under way with its Saturday night programme, and the Grassroots Racing Series, running out of the 3/8-mile Kawartha Speedway kicked off its Friday night/ Sunday afternoon calendar on June 6.

For the road racing fan, there are a trio of interesting events on tap for June at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Bookended around the CASC- BARC Spring Touring Trophy Races (June 21 and 22) are the Vintage Auto Racing Association of Canada Historic Grand Prix (June 13 to 15) and on June 27 to 29, the all new Glory Days Celebration of Speed.

The Canadian Historic Grand Prix weekend, with Grand Marshall Bob Tullius, is three days of vintage auto racing competition, with cars racing in six distinct divisions. Highlighting the event is the Triumph Versus MG Can-Am Challenge with the Group 44 Trophy and the Simms Cup Award presented to the top finisher of each marque.

Away from the on-track activities is the Friday night Checkered Flag Cruise through downtown Bowmanville, an allmake ‘Field of Dreams’ car show and a wide variety of automotive vendors. Additional attractions include the Sunday morning Legends of Motorsports Meet and Greet and the opportunity to meet the notorious Ride-Mooch Burt Levy, author of the famous ‘Last Open Road’ collection of novels.

Two weeks later, Bob DeShane’s Glory

Days Celebration of Speed takes over the legendary CTMP circuit.

Based around the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed, this presentation is designed to reconnect the sport with their fans and vice versa.

“Back in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, it was much easier to enjoy the full experience of driving and riding. The roads were less crowded and it was easier to take the steps necessary to get involved in clubs and competition,” explained DeShane. “We have designed Glory Days to bring back the freedom and the excitement that has been lost. We aim to re-engage people and restore the connection between them and their passion.”

Aside from the expected associated vendors and Concours car show, there will be a soap box derby and the weekend highlight, a true Hill Climb that is open to

both car and motorcycle enthusiasts.

The Hill Climb will begin at the hairpin Turn 5B, and run ‘Back Track’ (counter clockwise) to the Finishing Line on the front straight.

Interest has been high for the Hill Climb with confirmed participants including Canadian racing champion Bill Brack and his Formula A Lotus and Brooklin’s Dan Price aboard his classic 1956 stock car, the one he still races at Peterborough Speedway.

Kawartha’s Summer Rush is a smashing success J. WALLY NESBITT The Standard

The re-born Kawartha Speedway swung open the gates for the 2014 season by showcasing the OSCAARsanctioned Summer Rush #1 on Sunday, June 1, afternoon. Featuring events for the Super Late Models and open-wheeled Modified divisions, the schedule also set aside track time for the Hurricane Midget Series and the inaugural Mini Stock Nationals.

The highlight of the sun-baked day was the 50-lap feature race for the OSCAAR Super Late Models, and following a true display of driving domination, series sophomore Andrew Gresel (#81-Sauble Falls Mustang) outran 21 fellow SLM rivals to claim the victory over Jesse Kennedy (#10) and past champion Jeff Hanley (#70).

It was Gresel’s second victory in as many Kawartha appearances and was a come-from-farbehind win for the Owen Sound-based driver.

Following an opening lap, multi-car tangle, Gresel was forced to take his Mustang to the pits for bodywork repairs, eventually returning to the track on the same lap as the leaders, but at the tailend of the field.

Working his way towards the front, but finding himself mired just inside the Top 10, Gresel benefited from a Lap 15 caution period that allowed him to narrow the gap to then-leader Kevin Cornelius.

Mounting a powerful

charge once again under green flag conditions, Gresel was able to wrestle away top spot from a gaggle of frontrunners and then proceeded to cruise away from the pack, eventually building up a straightaway length advantage over his pursuers.

Another late race caution, to retrieve the stricken #17 Chevy of Cornelius, set up a four lap shootout to the checkers, but no one had anything for the race leader as he notched his first victory of the 2014 campaign. So dominant was Gresel’s performance that only seven cars were able to finish on the same lap as the winner.

It proved to be a tough day for several of the Super Late Model competitors as only 13 of the original 22

starters were able to complete the day unscathed.

Aside from Cornelius’ blown motor, former champions Glen Watson and Derrick Tiemersma also saw their days end early, both victims of separate, Turn One crashes.

Other results from Summer Rush…

- Two-time, and defending OSCAAR Modified champion Gary McLean rebounded from two early season wrecks to record his first win the year, fending off repeated challenges from runner-up Mike Beyore (#91N) for the victory. Terry Baker (#26), making his first OSCAAR start completed the podium positions.

- Third generation racer Jamie Bound claimed his second Hurricane Midg-

Bound dominated the 24-car field, eventually crossing the stripe 12 car lengths in front of second place finisher, Jessica James (#2).

- Despite lining up against 32 of the province’s premiere Mini Stock competitors, former Late Model pilot Andy Kamrath in his #35 Honda

Civic proved to be the class of the field, leading all but three laps (of 30) to earn the Mini Stock Nationals crown. In a tightly-knit, eight car battle for the runner-up spot, Peterborough’s Neil Hannah prevailed, holding off Barrie Speedway champion Doug Butler (#10), Farm Bro’s Ryan Babin (#89) and Kyle Baker from Capital City

Speedway for the position.

Summer Rush II is slated for Sunday, July 13; again to be run on the 3/8-mile Kawartha oval, visit www. oscaar.ca for further details.

Kawartha’s Grassroots Racing Series debuts next Friday, June 6, with contests for the Late Models, Thunder Cars, Mini Stocks, Four Funs and Ontario Legends on the docket.

LET’S EAT

The Standard

by JONATHAN VAN BILSEN http://photosntravel.com

Greenbank Restaurant

You don’t need to play in a scramble to enjoy this restaurant I recently had the pleasure of visiting Uxbridge’s well known Scrambles restaurant, part of Foxbridge Golf Course. I met Bette Williamson, who together with her husband Sandy, have operated the successful course for many years.

The restaurant, Scrambles, has been there for eleven years and along with the clubhouse, is undergoing a major renovation to be completed in the fall of this year. Open Tuesdays to Saturdays 7am until 10pm and Sundays and Mondays from 7am until 3pm Scrambles features some delicious entrées.

Perhaps their best feature is that everything is made on the premises. Chef Amanda Harper shops for fresh vegeta-

bles and meats and prepares it all in the kitchen, including some delicious desserts.

I had the haddock and fries, which were done to perfection and I must admit the fries were among the best I have tasted in a long time. Crisp and golden brown, they certainly had a pleasant taste of their own.

Dessert is of course my favourite part of any meal, and the bread pudding with an extremely tasty custard sauce drizzled with caramel, melted in my mouth. I have tried similar dishes in various restaurants, but must admit this was one of the finest.

Dinner entrées include prime rib, steaks and ribs, all for under $20 and the soups, also homemade, are worth the experience. The day of my visit corn chowder and wonton soup were the specials, but they vary by the day.

Every now and then, Chef Amanda jumps out of the box by creating sides such as spring rolls, a different, but a nice addition to the menu.

The restaurant seats 75, and after the expansion will host over one hundred. Located on Reach St., just west of Lakeridge Rd., Scrambles is worth the visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

You don’t need to be a golfer to enjoy this great cuisine.

Dinner for two, with a glass of wine and dessert: $50 (reservations recommended).

Optimum vision and UV protection are the concerns for the eyes of the outdoor athlete. Polarized lenses do more than just reduce light transmission - they block reflected glare and enhance image resolution.

Any boater or fisherman will tell you they are essential for seeing underwater obstacles. The density of tint does not indicate the level of UV protection - it is the lens material which provides the UV block.

Anti-glare coatings further enhance clarity; premium coatings are not only smudge-resistant, but one, Hoya’s EX3, is as scratch resistant as glass.

There are many sunglass options.

Photochromic lenses such as Transitions automatically darken depending on the intensity of direct UV light absorbed by the lens. The new Transitions Vantage becomes polarized when it darkens. Photochromics are very convenient, but they do not get dark in the car - unless you have a convertible – and they take time to clear up when you go indoors, especially in winter. Clip-ons - some models are magnetic are dark when you want them to be, and can be used over Transitions in the car. However, they do need to be carried, but are more compact than a full sunglass eyewear. Convenience of dual purpose is the main advantage of these options.

Dedicated sunglasses may be a better option for

outdoor activities with polarized lenses, and tint and frame options customized for sports, in a frame design and size that has better coverage.

With the other options your everyday glasses may be too small to be effective as a sunglass as too much light gets around the lenses.

There are pros and cons to each option, so it depends on your lifestyle and expectations.

The bottom line is that

UV damage accumulates throughout your lifetime and can lead to premature cataracts and macular degeneration. 50 per cent of our lifetime UV exposure happens before the age of 18 due to the pristine clarity of ocular tissue when we are young. Thus, kids should have sunglasses or at least a hat.

In addition to providing eye exams to check for ocular effects of UV damage with Dr. Workman, NDEC technicians

provide free sunglass consultations incorporating your ocular condition and visual demands for both prescription and non-prescription clients.

If you are doubting the UV protection of your current sunwear our UV scanner can measure the level of protection. Drop in to check out our Summer Sunglass Blowout 1530% off exclusive brands such as Michael Kors and Feragamo; Coach, RayBan and others.

Bronze Age for Uxbridge Tigers girls at OFSAA rugby

The Uxbridge SS Tigers Senior Girls rugby squad downed Quinte (Belleville) by a score of 29-15 to claim the bronze medal at the OFSAA championships in Hamilton on Wednesday, June 4.

Port Perry’s Tyler Field takes javelin gold at OFSAA championships DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

Port Perry High School’s Tyler Field dominated the competition last week at the OFSAA Track and Field Championships in Mississauga, claiming the gold medal in Midget Boys Javelin.

The Grade 9 student capped off an impressive track and field season, with a championship throw of 50.15 metres, almost two metres better than the runner up.

“This is the first gold medal in a field event for our school in more than a decade, which is fitting with Tyler’s last name I suppose,” PPHS Track and Field coach Daryl Sneath told The Standard.

Field’s win was all the more impressive considering he had finished second last year at his RH Cornish Public School meet. The move to a heavier javelin, instead of the plastic version used in public school competition proved to be the difference, according to Field.

“The heavier javelin definitely had a different feel, and threw a lot easier than the plastic one,” Field said.

Field’s athletic exploits aren’t limited to javelin, as he

also took part in a wide variety of intramural athletics at the school this past year in addition to playing wide receiver for the Rebels’ football team, competing on the school’s wrestling team, lining up at fly half for the Midget Boys rugby squad and was one of the top scorers for the Port Perry Predators Bantam team that advanced to the OMHA Final this past winter.

“I love all sports, and just try to stay active throughout the year,” added Field.

Over the summer, Field plans to continue training in javelin as he prepares to compete in the Legion Series track and field competition, in hopes of earning an invite to the National Championships in British Columbia in August.

The other PPHS athlete making the trip to OFSAA was Grade 12 student Wyatt ‘Quiet Riot’ Werner, who made his third trip to the provincial championships representing the school in the Senior Boys 100 metre hurdles.

Next year, Werner plans to return to PPHS with the goal of becoming one of only a handful of students to compete at OFSAA on four occasions.

MoJacks hit the ice for prospects camp DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

A healthy outside starts from the inside!

There was a new sheriff in town over the weekend of May 30 and 31, as recently appointed Head Coach Clair Cornish presided over his first Port Perry MoJacks Prospects Camp as bench boss of the local Junior ‘C’ hockey team.

More than 60 skaters from across the GTA took to the ice at Oshawa’s GM Centre over the weekend, as the team began the evaluation process for next season.

“I’m taking more of an overall look this year,”

Cornish said of the changes in his role at the camp after serving as an Assistant Coach with the team for the past two seasons.

“I’ve got guys with me this year who can focus on individual things and some of the finer details.”

Cornish noted that he will be looking for a solid group of players to emerge from the camp to participate in the TEP Showcase Tournament in Toronto next month, and hopefully garner an invite to the MoJacks’ main training camp in August.

“What we’re really looking for is a group of committed guys who are

‘I’m just a fiddler’ - Scugog folk music BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

The Port Perry Old Time Fiddle Club takes music and social gathering back to an older and simpler time, before television and during the dawn of radio waves.

The music evokes romantic images of men paddling canoes in the fur brigades living lives full of perilous adventure, gruelling labour and boisterous cameraderie after a hard day’s work.

Held once a month on the third wednesday at 6 p.m. inside the Scugog Community Centre at 1655 Reach St. This event draws crowds of up to 200 for an evening of dance, music, and friendship.

“The Fiddle Club is an inclusive place,” said Barry Virtue, long-time President of the club. “There are people here who have played for 30 years, and people who have played for 30 seconds.”

Some come to jam on-stage, some to cut the rug in a squaredance, and some to sit and observe while chatting with friends.

“We also invite people from ReachView Village and the Community Nursing Home,” said Mr. Virtue. “It’s great to see everyone have a wonderful time.”

In recent months, the Port Perry Fiddle

Club has seen a lack of attendance outside of their ‘regulars’ and seeks more local residents come out to enjoy the evening.

Mr Virtue would like to invite beginner musicians to the monthly event, “Everyone who wants to go on-stage gets a chance to play, and it’s a great motivator to learn with a group of friendly people - the best part is that if you miss a note, no one will notice with twelve people up on stage.”

Jake Patrick, a veteran fiddler from Dunsford, Ontario, makes the trip to Port Perry once a month to stomp his feet and make music with his fiddles.

“The old music is a dying art, so the people here come from far and wide to keep it strong,” said Mr. Patrick. “Our music fosters a connection between everyone in the room, and it’s good for the soul.”

Bring your fiddle, guitar, singing voice and dancing shoes. Everyone is welcome to the next dance on June 25, doors open at 6 p.m. and admission is only $5. For more information, please call Barry Virtue at 905-985-7557.
