Longest waits in
Ajax, Pickering
and Uxbridge
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — With an average
30-month wait, thousands of ap-
plicants remained on the waiting
list for Durham social housing last
year.
Overall, there were 3,650 appli-
cants on the waiting list at the end
of 2007. Of those, 237 had special
priority, meaning that at least one
member of the household is being
abused by someone with whom
they currently live or from whom
they have recently separated. Non-
priority applicants are placed on
the list chronologically.
The average wait in the Region
was 30 months for those without
priority and seven months for those
with it. A total of 454 households
received rent-geared-to-income
housing last year.
The housing crunch was felt
most steeply in the west end of the
region. Families without priority
waited an average of 67 months or
five-and-a-half years, for housing in
Ajax. In Pickering and Uxbridge, no
non-priority families were housed
in 2007.
About 50 per cent of the Region’s
available housing is in Oshawa, with
15 per cent in Whitby, 10 per cent
in Ajax, nine per cent in Pickering,
eight per cent in Clarington and
three per cent or less in each of
Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock.
Mary Menzies, acting director
social housing for Durham Region,
said long waits often force tough
decisions on families.
“For a lot of families, they’re
choosing between feeding their
children or paying their rent that
month,” said Ms. Menzies, adding
that kind of hardship creates a tre-
mendous amount of stress on the
family.
At just more than two years,
seniors had the shortest average
wait.
Singles and couples with no chil-
dren had the longest.
Part of the problem is there is
very little turnover in homes for
single people or couples with no
children, said Ms. Menzies. Anoth-
er part is social housing has been
traditionally geared toward fami-
lies and seniors.
“It was only in the late 1980s
singles were even considered eli-
gible for social housing,” said Ms.
Menzies.
Singles and couples represent
32 per cent of the social housing
waiting list, but they represented
only 12 per cent of those actually
housed in 2007. That’s down two
per cent from last year.
Even for singles with priority, the
average wait was 13 months.
“It’s still a very long time for
someone living in a situation where
their safety is in jeopardy,” said Ms.
Menzies, adding that Durham’s
network of shelters do a great deal
to help.
There was, however, a 39 per
cent decline in special priority de-
mand from last year. That was a
result of administrative clean up of

GM, UOIT join in unique research facility
‘It will keep industry
here very strong’
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The General Motors Auto-
motive Centre of Excellence is “one of the
top three or four announcements made in
Canada.”
Automotive industry analyst Dennis Des-
Rosiers added the future of car-making in
Canada depends on these kinds of ven-
tures.
“If we want a Canadian auto industry in
2020, we have to do this,” he said.
Announced last week, the centre is a col-
laborative effort among the automaker, the
University of Ontario Institute of Technolo-
gy, the provincial and federal governments,
and others in the industry. Costing more
than $120 million, construction is under
way and should be completed by late 2009.
“We have to have this collaborative inter-
est between industry and academia,” Mr.
DesRosiers said.
The centre is the second largest such
venture in Canada in terms of dollar value,
he says. The top was an $800-million deal
between Chrysler and the University of
Windsor.
“It’s very significant. We have the oppor-
tunity in Canada for every single blue-col-
lar job to be replaced by high-quality jobs,”
he noted.
The number of jobs created by the centre
will be minimal, but the research potential
is huge, he stated.
“It helps secure jobs at the GM design
centre,” he said. “This fits in quite nicely.
It’s very significant, very significant.”
Greg Rohrauer, an associate professor at
UOIT and the academic director for ACE,
said about “20 full-time equivalent employ-
ees” will be created.
What the centre will do is provide stu-
dents with the chance to do hands-on re-
search.
“There’s a very strong practical angle to
it,” Mr. Rohrauer said. “It will improve prod-
uct development. It will keep industry here
very strong.”
Once completed, the centre will have
state-of-the-art research and development
tools for such things as vehicle dynamics,
noise and vibration, and structural durabil-
ity testing.
There will also be a wind tunnel that will
be able to simulate conditions of -40 C.
The ACE will give researchers the op-
portunity to work on future fuels, such as
hydrogen.
Arturo Elias, president of General Motors
Canada, said placing the centre in Oshawa
is a natural extension for the company.
GM is “centred here in Oshawa. We’re
very proud of that. We have a long history
and we’re proud of this relationship with
the university,” Mr. Arturo said in an inter-
view. “I think this is in an important day for
all of us. It’s important for General Motors,
it’s important for the university, it’s impor-
tant for Ontario and Canada.”
He concurred with Mr. DesRosiers’s as-
sessment of the importance of having the
centre.
“It’s a very big step, in my mind, towards
developing a research environment,” Mr.
Arturo stated. “We can have our best minds
here in Canada educated and working to-
wards commercial automotive technolo-
gies. It’s the key
to the future.
“In the next
several years,
we have to make
cars that are
more fuel effi-
cient, more en-
vironmentally
friendly. We are going to need these tech-
nologies, so this is an important day for all
of us,” he added.
The making of cars is “headed to a high-
technology industry,” Mr. Elias said.
Mr. DesRosiers agreed, saying the indus-
try will have to invest heavily in technology,
“double of the last decade.”
He notes governments have set the target
of vehicles getting 35 miles to the gallon.
“That’s one big problem factor,” he noted,
adding it’s exacerbated by the refusal of
American consumers to drive smaller ve-
hicles.
Americans, Mr. DesRosiers said, have de-
cided “‘we won’t downsize’. They’ll buy fuel
efficient, but they won’t compromise size.
Those are two irresistible forces. The only
way to deal with it, technology is the only
way.”
GM is contributing $60 million to ACE,
while the provincial government is giv-
ing $58 million. The federal government is
contributing towards the $1-million annual
cost of creating a Chair of Innovative De-
sign Engineering. Dr. Remon Pop-Iliev, an
associate pro-
fessor at UOIT,
will serve as the
chairman.
Sandra
Pupatello, the
provincial eco-
nomic develop-
ment and trade
minister, was on hand for the announce-
ment, saying in an interview that GM is
“global. When it looks at where it has a foot-
print around the world, they look to where
centres of excellence are and ‘where do we
need to be?’”
Ontario has “the highest skilled work-
force in OECD (Organization of Economic
Co-operation and Development) coun-
tries.”
That’s important, she notes, because it
means industries will have “access to the
best tools, best qualities they need.”
Auto21, a centre of excellence in Wind-
sor, where Ms. Pupatello is from, is “critical.
It feeds the whole suppliers chain. They
come in on innovation. They use technolo-
gies to make better parts.”
Given GM’s dominant position in the
field, having ACE will enable the company
to stay ahead of the competition.
“Everyone is trying to cut your grass,” is
how she described the situation.
The centre, Mr. Elias said during the an-
nouncement, “will ensure we have the best
and brightest engineers.
“The new ACE will be the foundation of
new auto cluster,” he stated, adding that
the partnership with other universities and
companies will “accelerate automotive in-
novation.
“The new centre will focus on innovation
and excellence. It’s a great step forward. It’s
a critical step forward,” he stated.
Doug Lindeblom, the director of eco-
nomic development for Durham Region,
said the future is “all about clustering.”
Durham will be “identified as (an auto-
motive) cluster. It has huge attraction to the
rest of the auto industry worldwide.”
Having the centre “positions us in a
unique way, from a provincial perspective,
national perspective and even and inter-
national perspective. It’s really what we
look for in economic development is that
unique position,” Mr. Lindeblom said.
“It reinforces many of our strengths. Au-
tomotive, manufacturing, energy and the
environment. All these strengths we see
in Durham Region today are embodied
in this facility, this centre of excellence,”
he noted. “There’s recognition in Durham
Region we are the centre of excellence for
automotive manufacturing. We are the cen-
tre. It’s something we can market out to the
world.”
Last week, Mr. Lindeblom led a contin-
gent from a Japanese manufacturer looking
for a facility in Durham Region. The manu-
facturer wasn’t in the automotive industry.
“During the tour, they asked about GM
and they’re comment was GM was in trou-
ble,” he said.
“What we know going on with the Bea-
con Project, with the Automotive Centre of
Excellence. Me and our staff with economic
development, with real estate brokers. GM
and the provincial and federal governments
are investing here. This is the place where
the future of automotive manufacturing is
happening,” he stated.
With the university and other partners,
“it’s because of things like this (ACE), we
were able to deliver an extremely positive
message to an international manufacturer.
That’s what this does, it positions us,” he
added.
“This announcement is confirmation,
undeniably, makes us the centre of excel-
lence for auto manufacturing,” Mr. Lindeb-
lom noted. “These things bring investment.
The wind tunnel is important to others. It’s
important to the aviation industry, energy
sector. The wind tunnel has a whole range
of possibilities. Companies are going to
want to be close to this facility.”

Ajax, Pickering teens
arrested after robbery
DURHAM — Four teen-
agers have been arrested for
a violent robbery in which a
taxi driver was beaten and

son and found three other
males in the basement,
where they were pretend-
ing to be asleep.
Items stolen from the
cabbie were found in the
residence.

DURHAM — A man cur-
rently being held on charg-
es for a shooting last year
in Ajax has been linked to a
2005 shooting that blinded
a Toronto bus driver.
After a lengthy investiga-
tion into the shooting of the
bus driver, Malcolm Chalm-
ers, who was in Oshawa last
week for a court appearance
on the Durham charges, was
charged by Toronto police
with attempted murder and
using a firearm to commit
an indictable offence.
Police allege the Toronto
man was among a group of
young men who became
involved in an altercation
on a Toronto Transit Com-
mission bus at Morningside
Avenue and Sewells Road
just before midnight on Oct.
15, 2005. Shots were fired
and the driver, 41-year-old
Jamie Pereira, was struck in
the face; he was blinded in
one eye and has lost much
of his sight in the other.
The 21-year-old Mr.
Chalmers was arrested by
Durham police last Novem-
ber following an investiga-
tion into a shooting in Ajax.
Durham police responded
to Shoal Point Road at about
11:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 and
found a 19-year-old Ajax
man with a non life-threat-
ening gunshot wound.
Witnesses told investiga-
tors the victim had been
talking with friends out-
side a residence when two
young men emerged from a
nearby footpath and began
shooting. The victim was hit
in the leg.
At the time, police said
the shooting was not a ran-
dom act.
In November Durham
police arrested Mr. Chalm-
ers, of Roachman Boule-
vard in Toronto, along with
Christopher Jones, 20, of
Edgley Court in Ajax and
a 17-year-old Ajax youth,
laying almost 50 charges
against them.
Mr. Chalmers faces a
host of charges, including
aggravated assault, kidnap-
ping while using a firearm
and numerous weapons of-
fences in connection with
the Ajax shooting. He’s been
in custody since his arrest,
said Durham police spokes-
man Dave Selby.
“He’s still in the Lindsay
jail and has been since we
(arrested) him in Novem-
ber,” he said.
Court dockets indicate
Mr. Chalmers’ next appear-
ance on the Durham charg-
es is Feb. 13; he’s scheduled
to have a preliminary hear-
ing in May.

Ms. Menzies said that al-
though the 131 new housing
units announced in January
will help the overall situa-
tion, it’s going to take a com-
munity effort to reduce the
size of the list.
“It’s not just an issue of
building housing, it’s help-
ing people improve their
economic situation.”
Community effort needed
to shorten list, despite
housing units on the way DURHAM — An innova-
tive approach to dealing with
substance abuse and crime is
under way in Durham.
The Durham Drug Treat-
ment Court (DDTC) was ini-
tiated through a partnership
between Judge Kofi Barnes,
Lakeridge Health Pinewood
and representatives from the
Crown, duty counsel and
probation services.
It provides comprehensive
treatment to people charged
with criminal offences with
demonstrated substance
abuse issues.
While Drug Treatment
Courts are relatively new
to Canada, they have been
successfully implemented
throughout the world in
countries like the United
States, Norway and Australia.
“The Durham Drug Treat-
ment Court provides court-
supervised treatment for
those primarily addicted
to cocaine and/or opiates,”
said Paul McGary, director of
Mental Health and Pinewood
Centre at Lakeridge Health.
“Our goal is to reduce the
relapse rates of our client’s
substance use and related
criminal behaviour through
addiction and lifestyle reha-
bilitation.”
To participate, offenders
must accept responsibility
for their offence by entering a
guilty plea. After completing
the program, clients receive a
non-custodial sentence.
“Co-occurring mental
health and addiction disor-
ders present a challenge to
seamless and comprehen-
sive client support,” said Rob
Adams, executive director of
Durham Mental Health Ser-
vices.
“When the justice and
human service sectors work
together, individuals with
mental health and substance
use issues receive more ef-
fective treatment and our
community is healthier and
safer.”
The DDTC has not yet
received financial support
from the Department of
Justice Canada. The above
listed partnerships are sup-
porting the program until
government funding comes
through.

Woman was shot in
her Raglan home
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Investigators are ap-
pealing to the public for new infor-
mation as they revisit the murder of a
young woman killed more than 30 years
ago in her home north of Oshawa.
Someone knows who shot 22-year-
old Beverly Smith in the back of the
head and left her to die on her kitchen
floor in Raglan on the evening of Dec.
9, 1974, Durham Police Inspector David
Kimmerly said in making a plea for
information during a news conference
Monday in Whitby.
“It’s somebody that was interacting in
the community at the time,” Insp. Kim-
merly said.
“It is our hope the person or persons
responsible are still alive and still within
our reach.”
Ms. Smith, mother of a 10-month-old
daughter and the wife of a GM worker,
was signing
Christmas
cards in
the living
room of her
Old Simcoe
Road home
before
opening
the door
to a visitor,
Insp. Kim-
merly said.
She was found dead by neighbours who
went to the house after being notified by
her worried husband, who called home
during the evening and got no answer.
No arrests were made in the 1970s,
although investigators identified per-
sons of interest, including Ms. Smith’s
husband, who was cleared after co-op-
erating with police. The file has been
re-opened from time to time since then
and in the spring of 2007 a team of dedi-
cated investigators was struck to start
from scratch, Insp. Kimmerly said.
Police have interviewed more than
200 people across Canada and in the
United States and have asked some
people to submit DNA and fingerprint
samples. Insp. Kimmerly said not all
those approached for DNA samples
have been co-operative, but that doesn’t
automatically make them suspects.
The fact that no one in the tight-knit
community reported seeing or hear-
ing anything out of the ordinary on
the night of the killing has led police
to believe the murder was perpetrated
by a local person, Insp. Kimmerly said.
Reinforcing that theory is the absence
of signs of forced entry; it appears Ms.
Smith let the killer into her house.
“Our investigations have shown no
one saw anything out of the ordinary,”
Insp. Kimmerly said.
“It’s been a belief of investigators
since 1974 she knew her killer.”
Investigators aren’t declaring the
murder a premeditated act, but Insp.
Kimmerly noted circumstances, includ-
ing the way in which Ms. Smith was
killed, don’t point toward a spontane-
ous event.
“Whoever came brought a firearm
with them,” he said, noting the murder
weapon was never found.
Also on hand at police headquarters
in Whitby Monday morning were Ms.
Smith’s twin sister, Barbra Brown, and
the dead woman’s daughter, Rebecca.
Both women appealed for informa-
tion that would lead to a resolution for
Ms. Smith’s family and friends, who
for decades
have lived
with the
unsolved
crime.
Speaking
directly to
the killer,
Rebecca,
who didn’t
want her
last name
used, ap-
pealed to the guilty person’s conscience:
“I understand you were young at the
time and you may regret your actions of
that night,” she said.
“Now I’m asking you to give my fam-
ily and my mom, and even yourself
some peace.”
Ms. Brown said her sister’s unsolved
killing has long been a source of tor-
ment.
“To me it feels like yesterday,” she
said. “I felt my twin’s pain when she
died and I feel her turmoil now. She
needs to be at peace.”
Updated information and photo-
graphs relating to the homicide are on
the police website at www.drps.ca/un-
solved cases.
Anyone with new information on
the cold case is asked to call detectives
Leon Lynch or Doug Parker at 905-579-
1520, extension 7810, or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-8477.
Police seeking tips as they revisit 1974 murder
Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo
Beverly Smith’s daughter, Rebecca, tries to maintain her com-
posure at the police press conference re-opening the unsolved
Raglan murder case. Her mother was killed in December 1974.
Rebecca, 10 months old at the time, was asleep in her crib.
‘I understand you were young at the time
and you may regret your actions of that
night. Now I’m asking you to give my family
and my mom, and even yourself some
peace.’

Durham
deserves
more transit
cash
Y ou couldn’t have blamed Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson if he had
put his hands out and said to Fed-
eral Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, “Please
sir, I’d like some more.”
Like the orphan in Charles Dickens’s
Oliver Twist, the measly $2.5 million to
further study Durham’s nascent transit
system is a mere crumb when a full-
course meal is needed.
Consider the federal outlay for our sis-
ters to the west: Brampton got $95 million
for its bus rapid transit system, Mississau-
ga received $83 million, York took in $85
million while Toronto gobbled up $697
million for a subway extension.
It’s long been a complaint in this neck of
the Greater Toronto Area that we are the
poor cousins. It would be natural to hope
that with the second-most powerful man
at the Canadian cabinet table and a local
MP to boot, that we’d get more.
All that said, at least the cash is a start
toward a bigger and better Durham
Regional Transit system.
As is evident from the growth across York
and Peel regions, it’s necessary to provide
an efficient, effective and seamless sys-
tem that moves large numbers of people
quickly. Such a service takes pressure off
our overcrowded roads where construc-
tion hasn’t kept pace with Durham’s rapid
growth,
The federal money announced Monday
will allow for a professional, top-grade
transit study to identify exactly what is
required for the DRT to meet future needs.
A key part of the challenge is to analyze
exactly where resources are needed, what
level of spending is necessary and how to
merge the DRT routes with neighbouring
transit systems. While GO Transit moves
commuters effectively along the Lake
Ontario corridor, the DRT will have to get
them to and from GO routes and move
them quickly through our local communi-
ties.
Thousands in Durham and beyond
depend upon public transit to get them
where they need to go. They’ll be antici-
pating improvements in the system and
they’ll be looking for leadership on that
score.
You can bet Mr. Flaherty, as Whitby-
Oshawa MP and federal minister respon-
sible for the GTA, will be keeping a close
eye on the results of this study and, we
hope, will have the chequebook ready to
add needed dollars to expand the system.
We think...

Liberals don’t care about
those who’ve been evicted
To the editor:
Re: ‘Airport lands dominate Town Hall
meeting’, Jan. 30 News Advertiser.
I just read Dan McTeague’s comments
concerning the airport lands and as usual
it was the lukewarm response of a Liberal
Party member. This situation started with
the Liberals in 1972. They didn’t care then
about the local people and they don’t care
about them now. His indifferent answers
speak volumes. The Chretien years speak
for themselves.
Town hall meetings are abused by politi-
cians. They look after their interests first
and then their constituents if it can get
them votes. I am cynical about all politi-
cians, especially long-serving ones like Mr.
McTeague, who has been re-elected several
times.
What has he done for local Pickering
people who have been kicked out of their
homes, nothing. All governments since
1972 are responsible for this mess, but the
injuries are felt by local people, not the
McTeagues or Hollands of Pickering.

The choice is ours
To the editor:
Choice is perhaps one of the most influ-
ential words ever, defined as the ‘right,
power or opportunity to choose’.
We have chosen, as a community, to
allow pesticides, herbicides and chemicals
to be laced on our grounds, to be flushed
by rain into our waters. We have chosen
as a community to poison that very com-
munity that we live, play and work in. In
our arrogance we have chosen to upset the
balance of the earth and, by doing so, have
become unbalanced ourselves.
Through these choices, we are laying a
foundation of toxicity for the future.
The beauty is that we can choose again
for choice is limitless. We don’t need the
municipal government to implement a ban
on pesticides. We have the power as a com-
munity to choose to stop using them.
We have the power as a community to
vote for councillors who support a green
environment and who have a vision of bal-
ance within our community.
Just one choice by one person can send a
ripple effect through our community.

Fairport is a busy
road, as intended
To the editor:
Re: ‘Pickering residents demand ways to
calm traffic’, Jan. 27 News Advertiser.
I object to private homeowners who want
to commandeer an important artery like
Fairport Road for their own personal or
political agenda.
This is not a small, subdivision street
where kids can play hockey. Many local
residents use Fairport Road daily, for the
purpose for which it was designed, as an
essential traffic link from Finch and beyond
to Kingston Road, as well as an avenue
through Stroud’s Lane to shopping and
schools on Whites Road. I have used this
road since 1985 and can attest that the traf-
fic does not fly up and down the road at
100 km/h, as Mr. Gibson stated, but actu-
ally moves at a snail’s pace of 40 km/h. A
lot of our tax money has been invested to
widen and upgrade Fairport Road for this
purpose, including sidewalks, sewers, stop
signs and traffic lights.
I agree that it is not being utilized prop-
erly: the traffic should flow at an increased
but still moderate 60 km/h to be in keeping
with its function and better serve the com-
munity.

Get troops out of harm’s
way or bring them home
To the editor:
It seems Canada has no true exit policy
from the Afghanistan Manley report and
we have no clear policy for being there.
Sometimes we might be fighting the Tal-
iban, sometimes supporting Hamid Kar-
zai’s government (although we can’t train
them properly to take over this charge),
providing humanitarian services or sup-
porting U.S. foreign policy through a very
limited NATO alliance.
The most realistic picture for supporting
Canadian troops is to rotate them out of
harm’s way and if not that, then bring them
home.

New funding
provides tonic
for chronic
disease care
Central East Local
Health Integration
Network funds
three projects
DURHAM — The Central East
Local Health Integration Network
(LHIN) is providing $3.2 million to
improve care for chronic disease
sufferers.
The money is being targeted to-
ward kidney disease, diabetes and
self-management.
“These programs will help to im-
prove the quality of life for residents
and will ultimately help to decrease
hospital visits,” said Provincial
Health Minister George Smither-
man in a press release.
The Chronic Kidney Disease Early
Intervention and Outreach project
is receiving $1.9 million and is fo-
cusing on developing a process that
will improve the early identification
of the disease. The project will work
on outreach of at-risk populations,
such as the aboriginal community
and new immigrants. The hope is
to decrease emergency room visits
and increase the quality of life.
The Diabetes Clinical Practice
Guidelines Rollout Project is receiv-
ing $110,000 and focuses on educa-
tion about diabetes. It allows the
LHIN Diabetes Network to work
with the public and health care
providers to make them aware of
the diabetes resources available.
The Self Management Training for
Consumers and Caregivers project
will target more than 3,000 people
in the next three years and is receiv-
ing $1.3 million.
The goal is to provide education
and training to patients and fami-
lies on how to best manage their
chronic disease. It provides infor-
mation on exercise, appropriate use
of medication, communication with
caregivers and evaluating new treat-
ments.
“When a person has a chronic
disease, it is almost always a shared
experience with family, friends and
others doing what they can to pro-
vide support to the person,” said Dr.
George Buldo, co-chairman of the
Central East LHIN’s Chronic Dis-
ease Prevention and Management
Network.

new programs, visit the Central East

In order to prevent future
tragedies Pickering Fire
Services requests that you
follow these safety tips to
ensure the safe use of smoking
materials.
Never smoke in bed
It’s just too easy to fall asleep.
Don’t smoke if you’re
drowsy
...especially if you’re sitting
down in a comfortable chair
or if you’ve been drinking
or taking prescription drugs.
Check between the cushions
for any smokers items that may
have fallen into the cracks.
Don’t leave a lit cigarette
...or a cigar or pipe. They can
easily overbalance as they
burn down, land on a carpet,
newspaper or between sofa or
armchair cushions, and start a
fire.
Use a proper ashtray
Make sure it can’t be easily knocked over and avoid a build-up of
ash and debris.
Dispose of your ashes safely
Put your ashes in the toilet before going to bed.
Don’t leave matches or lighters unattended
Children love them. Every year children die starting fires with
matches and lighters they shouldn’t have had. It doesn’t take more
than a couple of minutes for a child left on their own to start a
fire.
For more information contact Pickering Fire Services at
905.839.9968 or email: fire@city.pickering.on.ca or visit our website
at cityofpickering.com

Task force
created to
advocate for
better care-
g iver support
Mandate is to help those
who take care of older
family members
DURHAM — There is a new task
force to help out caregivers in Dur-
ham Region.
The group is designed to advocate
for the improved availability of care-
giver support services.
The Durham Region Task Force
for Community-Based Resources for
Caregivers hopes to strengthen the re-
lationship between community-based
caregivers, the Region of Durham, and
the Central East Local Health Integra-
tion Network. They plan to improve
access to respite care, adult day pro-
grams, home care, homemaker ser-
vices and educational programs for
caregivers in the region.
“There is a need to enhance com-
munity-based health-care services in
a timely fashion. This task force was
developed to ensure we have the ser-
vices in place to deal with the issues
these individuals are facing.” says Os-
hawa Councillor April Cullen, chair-
woman of the Health and Social Ser-
vices Committee.
There is an increasing number of
people in the Durham Region who are
taking care of older family members
in their home. The new task force
aims to assist these people in provid-
ing quality care.
“This coalition will greatly assist all
caregivers by helping to provide ac-
cess to the services they truly need,”
says Barbara North, a caregiver and
one of the advocates for the creation
of the task force.
To learn more, contact the Region
at 905-668-7711 and ask for Director
of Long Term Care, Judy Heffern.

DURHAM — Schools in Durham Region are now
able to sign up for a unique tree-planting program

dle. Materials are free thanks to the generous sup-
port of Friends of the Environment, Ontario Power

Guardrails considered for fatal accident site in north Durham
Eight-year-old drowned
Christmas Eve after
vehicle skidded off road
DURHAM — The Region will look at in-
stalling guardrails on a stretch of Regional
Road 12, Cameron Street, in Brock Town-
ship where a vehicle skidded off the road
on Christmas Eve, resulting in the death of
an eight-year-old girl.
Brittany Mabee-Wilson drowned after
her mother lost control of her vehicle on
the icy road. It skidded off the road side-
ways and landed on its roof in a pond.
Earlier this month, the Region received
a letter from the Township of Brock asking
that the Region consider installing guard-
rails at the location.
Though there was no discussion of the
letter at Wednesday’s works committee
meeting, the issue was referred to staff for
a report.
Staff will examine the site and com-
pare it to a set of standards to determine
whether guardrails are warranted at that
location, said Susan Siopis, director of
transportation and field services for the
Region.
“Any location has to be evaluated against
those warrants or standards,” she said after
the meeting.
Earlier, Ms. Siopis said at the current
funding levels, it will take 25 years to ad-
dress the Region’s backlog of roadside pro-
tection devices, which includes guardrails.
However, she said the site of the Brock
accident was not one that is currently on
the list.
“With the built-in safety features and helpful
staff, I’ve never felt more at ease.”

Man sent to jail
for ‘vast’ child
porn collection
Tip from techie
led to charges
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — An Oshawa
man has been given the
maximum provincial jail
term after confessing to
possessing and distributing
child pornography.
Brian McCullough of
Simcoe Street had a “vast”
collection of child porn that
included images stored in
computers and on discs,
as well as VHS tapes and
printed pictures, Superior
Court Justice Sue McLean
heard as the man pleaded
guilty.
“He had a vast collection,”
Durham police Detective
Andy Bussanich said after
the January sentencing.
“He had been collecting
for a number of years.”
Mr. McCullough, 46, was
sentenced to two years less
a day on top of the time
he’d already spent in cus-
tody following his arrest
in June 2007 on charges of
possession and distribu-
tion of child pornography.
Police launched an in-
vestigation after a techni-
cian found images of child
porn on a computer that
had been sent for repairs.
Durham cops executed
a search warrant at Mr.
McCullough’s home on Fa-
ther’s Day last June.
Speeders, suspended
drivers caught up
in traffic blitz
1,800 charges
laid in week-long
operation
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A man who
was busted twice in the same
day for speeding and driving
while under suspension was
among hundreds of motor-
ists charged during an inten-
sive traffic safety blitz under-
taken across the region by
Durham police last month.
Cops taking part in Opera-
tion In The Zone laid more
than 1,800 charges during
the week-long initiative Jan.
7 to 11, mostly for speeding
and other aggressive driv-
ing in and around school
zones. Speeding made up
the majority of the charges,
with 1,440 infractions. Mean-
while, 28 tickets were written
for speeding in community
safety zones; 54 for stop sign
offences, and 346 for other
Highway Traffic Act infrac-
tions.
Six drivers were also arrest-
ed on Criminal Code charges
and four others were busted
on drug charges, police said.
And police charged three
drivers under new street rac-
ing legislation when they
were caught exceeding post-
ed speed limits by 50 km or
more; the charge results in
immediate licence suspen-
sion and seizure of the driv-
er’s vehicle for seven days.
Some highlights from the
blitz:
• One driver who was tick-
eted for driving 112 km per
hour in a 60 km zone was
found to be driving while
under suspension. Later the
same day he was stopped
again -- by the same officer
who’d pinched him earlier -
- and charged with driving
while under suspension; his
car was impounded.
• A man caught speeding
in Whitby had just left the
local Provincial Offences of-
fice, where he’d paid a fine for
speeding in a school zone.
• Police who stopped a 17-
year-old driver clocked at 90
km-h in a 40 km zone no-
ticed a video camera on the
vehicle dashboard; the teen
advised an officer he’d been
using it to make videos he
posted on the Internet.
• And an Oshawa man
stopped during the blitz was
arrested for driving while
under suspension for a Crim-
inal Code offence, as well as
the Highway Traffic Act. He
was arrested and held for a
bail hearing.
Similar traffic safety efforts
will continue throughout the
year, police said.

Port Hope
artist has show
in Pickering
By Roland Cilliers
rcilliers@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Janet Ker-
shaw hasn’t finished the
first painting she ever
made. The Port Hope artist
believes the only time you
finish a painting is “when
you die.
“It’s hard to know when
a painting is done. If you
look at it and you’re happy
then that’s it, you really
have to stop yourself,” she
says. Some of the work
she’s happy with is on dis-
play at the Ontario Power
Generation Information
Centre in Pickering until
March 11. The show is an
exhibition of the works she
has done in watercolours.
The artist describes her
style as a cross between
impressionism and realism
with a definite emphasis on
the former.
Ms. Kershaw admits to
having a great fondness
for realist work, but feels it
lacks elements she enjoys
working with.
“I appreciate many peo-
ple enjoy high realism and I
like looking at high realism
pictures too, but to paint I
want more energy, and to
get that you need to be loos-
er, which is why I include
impressionistic elements,”
she says.
For subjects, she likes to
use natural scenes she feels
a personal connection to.
“Landscapes, flowers,
seascapes. I like them be-
cause they are what I feel
happy doing. I have to be
somewhat drawn to the
subject,” says Ms. Kershaw.
“If I’m not particularly
interested in the subject I
tend to not do it well.”
Since retiring 12 years
ago, she has been a very
active painter. She’s taken
part in numerous art shows
and has been accepted into
multiple juried competi-
tions.
Ms. Kershaw is inspired
by Newmarket-based artist
Donnah Cameron and Pick-
ering’s Hi Sook Barker. Both
artists teach workshops and
seminars in the region.
“I like their style and the
way they use the paint; they
have great enthusiasm for
the medium,” says Ms. Ker-
shaw.
She’s a member of several
arts groups in the area, like
the PineRidge Arts Council,
the Cobourg Art Group, and
Ajax Creative Arts.
She credits the groups
with both improving and
inspiring her work.
“You go and you meet
fellow artists; you exchange
ideas and get tips, hints,
and encouragements. It’s
really great,” she says.
The information centre is
at 1675 Montgomery Park
Rd. (at the foot of Brock
Road). It’s open to the pub-
lic from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Monday to Friday. There is
no admission charge.

Trojans top Titans
to capture own
hoops Classic
Ninth tournament
title of season for
top-ranked Pickering
High senior squad
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Cory Joseph serves
as a perfect complement to his
backcourt brother, Devoe, for the
Pickering High School Trojans se-
nior boys’ basketball team.
But, while his shooting guard
brother who’s bound for the Uni-
versity of Minnesota on an athletic
scholarship has earned most valu-
able player accolades in previous
tournaments for the Trojans this
season, it was younger brother
Cory who got the nod as MVP for
the Pickering High School Classic
tournament at Oshawa’s UOIT/
Durham College, which wrapped
up on Saturday night.
The Trojans grabbed their ninth
championship of the season with
an emphatic 83-54 victory over the
Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic
Secondary School Titans of Scar-
borough in the gold-medal final
of the inaugural 24-team tourna-
ment.
The Josephs were front-and-
centre as Devoe lit up Mother Te-
resa for 30 points, including three
3-pointers, with Cory adding 13 to
help the Trojans capture the title
before a partisan crowd at the new
state-of-the-art athletic facility.
While there’s no sibling rivalry
between the Joseph boys on the
court, Cory
notes it’s
nonetheless
nice to be rec-
ognized for
his contribu-
tions to the
top-ranked
Trojans’ suc-
cess.
“It was good
to get the
MVP. My brother’s gotten lots of
MVPs and stuff, so it’s good to
get an MVP award once in while,”
notes Cory following the Trojans’
thorough victory.
Devoe, however, wasn’t shut out
of the accolades as he joined fel-
low Trojans’ starter Jonathan Tull
on the tournament’s all-star team.
Mother Teresa, the sixth-ranked
team in the province, were no
match for the Trojans after coming
off a draining and emotional 57-
56 semifinal victory over the H.B.
Beal Raiders of London. Mother
Teresa also missed talented 6-foot,
9-inch centre Maurice Walker, who
suffered an injury requiring X-rays
following the semifinal and wasn’t
on the bench until the second half
of the final.
By the time Walker arrived, the
damage had already been done.
The Trojans led by 14 (39-25) at
the half and continued to play well
against the weary Titans in the
third quarter, leading by a whop-

Plenderleith earns
league rookie of the
week honours
AJAX — An Ajax hockey play-
er garnered a weekly honour for
her play with the Colgate Univer-
sity (Hamilton, New York) Red
Raiders women’s hockey team.
Freshman Lisa Plenderleith
was named the ECAC (Eastern
College Athletic Conference)
Hockey Rookie of the Week.
Plenderleith went 1-1 on the
weekend in a split with the Cor-
nell University Big Red to earn
her second weekly honour of the
college hockey season.
Last Friday, the former Dur-
ham Junior Lightning puckstop-
per made 26 saves and allowed
three goals in a 3-2 loss. The Big
Red came out
and immedi-
ately put her
to work.
Plender-
leith
squashed two
one-on-one
efforts in the
third period.
She stopped
a breakaway
and caught the rebound with 12
minutes to play and six minutes
later made a leg save after Cor-
nell was on the opposite end of a
turnover.
Last Saturday she had a 41-
save performance in a 2-1 vic-
tory.
Her 41 saves matched her ca-
reer high from a 1-0 loss to New
Hampshire in October.
Plenderleith had a terrific
game, stopping the puck at all
costs. She made 11 stops during
nearly two minutes of 5-on-3 ac-
tion midway through the second
period.
Plenderleith nearly earned a
shutout but the Big Red scored
an extra-attacker goal with just
21.3 seconds left in regulation.
After pulling the goalie with just
under two minutes, Cornell put
two shots on net that Plender-
leith stopped before one got
through traffic.
Colgate hosts St. Lawrence
and Clarkson this Friday and
Saturday, Feb. 8 and 9.

Pickering Panthers blanked by
mighty St. Michael’s Buzzers
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The season is com-
ing to a merciful end for a Pickering
Panthers team that’s showed little
of the promise that beckoned at the
end of last season.
The Panthers (10-33-1 for 21
points), cellar dwellers in the OHA
Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League’s South Conference, have
four games remaining as well as a
possible makeup contest from Fri-
day night on home ice against the
St. Michael’s Buzzers that was post-
poned due to the snowstorm that
swept through Southern Ontario.
Playing with a sizable number
of call-ups from the Toronto Red
Wings’ midgets against St. Mike’s in
Toronto on Sunday afternoon, the
Panthers predictably fell 6-0 to the
powerhouse and first-place Buzzers,
which has yet to lose on home ice
this season.
Panthers’ goaltender Terrence
Reid probably saw pucks in his sleep
as the Buzzers peppered him with in
excess of 60 shots, while the Panthers
could muster only 15 on St. Mike’s
goalie Sean Perkins, who earned the
shutout.
Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin
notes it’s all about playing for pride
and having a look at some promising
players who may have a shot at play-
ing for the club next season.
The call-ups were badly needed
for Sunday as Panthers’ forwards

ping 29 points at the conclusion of the
stanza.
Cory says he believed the final
would prove more competitive, based
on the fact the Titans had beaten the
Trojans previously for one of their two
losses on the season. But, everything
went Pickering’s way this time around.
“I never thought it was going to be a
30-point game. They’re a great team.
I thought we came out hard. The first
half was close, but in the second half
we just pulled away,” explained Cory.
Trojans’ coach Jim Barclay notes
Mother Teresa kept pace through much
of the first half, but the Trojans got into
a groove when they began to play their
brand of basketball.
“They did a good job running with us,
but when we turned up the defensive
intensity, really worked on rebounding
and pushing the ball, we took the game
away. I don’t think there’s anyone that
can run with us,” he says.
The tournament, says organizer and
Trojans’ coach Mike Gordensky, was
not without a few hitches, most notably
the inclement weather on Friday that
kept seven teams at home.
“We had to improvise as best we
could,” says Gordensky, who added it
was nice to see a good crowd on hand
for the final.
The Trojans advanced to the final
after defeating Toronto’s St. Michael’s
College Blue Raiders 81-59 in their
semifinal contest on Saturday after-
noon.
Justin Wiltshire, with 12, and Cory
Joseph, with 11, led Pickering High
past St. Mike’s.
Steele sterling at big U.S. meet
Pickering gymnast second
at Sand Dollar/Whitlow
Invitational in Orlando
PICKERING — A Pickering gymnast
turned in a silver-medal-winning per-
formance while representing Ontario
at the Sand Dollar/Whitlow Invitation-
al at Disney’s Wide World of Sports
complex in Orlando, Florida last week-
end.
More than 1,000 athletes from across
the U.S. and Canada competed.
Competing in the Level 8 senior ‘A’
category, Lauren Steele won individual
gold on balance beam, bronze on un-
even bars, placed fourth on vault and
sixth on floor exercise. Her all-around
score of 35.7 was strong enough to earn
her second place overall.
Steele’s performance contributed
to the Level 8 Ontario team’s bronze-
medal finish in the Team Awards cat-
egory.
Next, the 14-year-old Dunbarton
High School student will focus on the
upcoming Provincial qualifying meet
in Mississauga and the Gymnix Inter-
national meet in Montreal later next
month.
Steele trains at Gemini Gymnastics
in Oshawa under the direction of head
coach Elena Davydova, the 1980 Olym-
pic champion.

MANNING, Donald E. -(WW II Veteran Sept 19, 1920 - Feb 01, 2008)
Don and Marie are together again! Heaven is that much brighter after Don
Manning went home to be with The Lord Friday morning. He is no doubt giving
praise and honor through music to the Prince of Peace when he is not being
toured around Glory by his wife Marie who predeceased him by two years. Don
passed away peacefully in his sleep early Friday morning. He is sorely missed
by his brother Leonard, his sisters Lorraine and Dorothy and his children Donna
(Gallant), Paul, Daniel and Philip. Don is a beloved father, grandfather and
great-grandfather. He fought the good fight, and is a war veteran who was
wounded in Holland and was decorated by the grateful people of both Holland
and Canada. The family will receive friends at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL
HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Pickering Village (Ajax) 905-428-8488 from 2-4
and 7-9 pm Wednesday. Funeral Service at Ajax Baptist Church (56 Angus
Dr. Ajax, ON) on Thursday February 7, 2008 at 1:00 pm. Internment at Erskine
Cemetery. Should family or friends so desire, donations to Gideons or Gospel
for Asia would be greatly
