AJAX -- The last thing 18-year-old Jeffrey Donahue’s
sister said to him was she wanted to spend more time
with him.
“Thank you, Kayla, for sending him off with such a
wonderful feeling,” said Jeffrey’s father, John, in a letter
read during a service for Jeffrey, a J. Clark Richardson
student, who died in a car crash last Thursday in north
Pickering.
Before the ceremony at the Pickering Village United
Church, dozens of pictures of a smiling Jeff were dis-
played in the entrance hall to the sanctuary, showing a
young man who loved to have a good time, whether par-
tying with friends or spending time at the cottage with

Suspect was to meet murder victim, jury told
Trucker was found
dead in Pickering
BY JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Jurors viewed reams of phone
records Tuesday as the Crown continued
to build its case against the man accused of
murdering a trucker whose body was found
almost three years ago in Pickering.
The records are part of what is a largely cir-
cumstantial case against Paul Cyr, whom the
Crown contends killed Donald Woods with a
shotgun blast to the back of the head before
stealing the Brockville-area trucker’s cargo
of air-chilled chicken. Mr. Woods was found
dead in the sleeper compartment of his rig
behind the Wal-Mart store on Brock Road
June 23, 2006.
Mr. Cyr, 51, of Montreal, has pleaded not
guilty to first-degree murder and theft over
$5,000.
A significant aspect of the prosecution’s
case is showing the jury evidence that Mr.
Cyr was in Belleville on June 21, 2006, at the
truck stop where Mr. Woods was last known
to have been before he went missing. The
Crown has produced video images show-
ing Mr. Cyr at the truck stop and jurors have
heard evidence Mr. Woods, 35, was consid-
ering joining JC Drivers, the Montreal-based
firm operated by Paul Cyr’s brother, Jacques.
Jacques Cyr testified as a Crown witness
and told jurors Paul Cyr was to have met
Mr. Woods to obtain documents related to
employment around the time the trucker was
killed. “I remember Paul telling me he was
supposed to meet Donald Woods to obtain
a driver’s abstract and a driver’s profile,”
Jacques Cyr testified.
Jacques Cyr also told jurors that after Paul
missed a delivery on the day Mr. Woods went
missing, he phoned to say he was having
troubles with his rig’s refrigeration unit and
was trying to get it fixed. But when Durham
homicide detectives starting asking ques-
tions in the weeks after the murder, the story
changed, he said.
Paul instructed his brother to tell police
that on June 22, 2006 he had switched trailers
with another driver, taking his friend’s load to
Toronto while the friend hauled Paul’s trailer
back to Montreal, Jacques Cyr told the jury.
The new story “was a totally different sce-
nario,” Jacques Cyr testified.
The trial, before Superior Court Justice
Bryan Shaughnessy and a jury, continues in
Whitby.

Council pushes for ratio
of one job for every
two people in Seaton
BY KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Council has reaffirmed
its position that Seaton must maintain a
ratio of one job for every two people.
On Monday night, Ward 1 Region-
al Councillor Bonnie Littley put for-
ward the motion after recent numbers
from Durham Region show, as part of
its Growing Durham Study,
the Region’s response to the
Provincial Growth Plan, only
16,476 jobs and 71,345 people
forecasted for Seaton by 2031.
This means one job for every
4.33 people.
Pickering has long advocated
for one job for every two peo-
ple, or 35,000 jobs and 70,000
people.
Durham’s plans will go to
Regional council Wednesday
for approval.
“We should let the Region know these
numbers are not right for Pickering,”
Coun. Littley said.
Past amendments to the Regional Offi-
cial Plan have called for the ratio of one
job for every two people in order to
achieve a “healthy, complete and sus-
tainable community,” the motion said
Durham Region, the Province and
the City led the Highway 407 Econom-
ic Development Study in 2007 (Hem-
son report) that said 16,700 and 20,000
jobs in the employment areas of Seaton,
and 15,000 jobs in other areas of Seaton
could be achieved by 2031, the motion
said.
“Ultimately the Region’s plan is funda-
mentally flawed,” Coun. Littley said.
But Pickering’s director of planning
and development, Neil Carroll, said in
a memo the Region still fore-
casts 35,000 jobs, just not by
2031. He said the Hemson
study projected 35,000 jobs by
2056.
“The report notes that areas
like Seaton often take more
than 20 years to build out,” he
said.
Resident Terry Nuspl attend-
ed the meeting to remind
Council of the many times it
has advocated for 35,000 jobs
for 70,000 people.
She presented a number of newspaper
articles where individual councillors,
Mayor Dave Ryan and Regional Chair-
man Roger Anderson all asked that jobs
be in place before people move in.
She reiterated the fact that Seaton is
supposed to be a place where people are
expected to “live, work and play.”
“We’ve been promised 35,000 jobs
since 2005,” she said. “It was supposed
to be self-sustainable.”
Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick-
erson thought it’d be appropriate to
ensure jobs in Seaton are concurrent
with growth and Council agreed.
Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles
said since Seaton won’t necessarily get
70,000 people and 35,000 jobs by 2031,
it’s a good idea to keep the ratio require-
ments at two to one.

People, businesses
and groups come
to the aid of facility
BY KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Hayley Clark and Sarah Cum-
mings were so concerned for a local food
bank’s possible closing that they spent a
Saturday afternoon helping the best they
could.
It was reported in the News Advertis-
er in April that the
St. Paul’s On-the-Hill
Community Food
Bank in Pickering was
on the brink of closing
due to a lack of finan-
cial donations.
It feeds thousands
of people in Ajax and
Pickering and relies solely on donations.
The volunteers found they barely had
enough to pay the rent.
So Ajax girls Hayley, 11, and Sarah, 10,
borrowed a wagon from a neighbour and
went door to door with a copy of the arti-
cle to ask for food donations.
“It was one to four (in the afternoon),”
Hayley said. “It was a long time.”
But they were happy to help, and col-
lected an entire wagon full of food.
“We felt really good about it after,” she
said.
She realized since only two kids were
able to collect that much in one after-
noon, if all the kids in Ajax and Pickering
did the same thing, “it would be a whole
truck load (of food).”
And while some people didn’t help out,
most did.
“People were pretty generous,” she said.
“Some people gave us
like three bags full.”
Although the
food bank is still run-
ning, it has stopped
providing fresh food
to the clients.
“Until I can
get finan-
cially secure that’s on hold
until we can ... take the
chance of doing that,” said
volunteer Marg Jocz.
Although Ms. Jocz and director Rae
Coulter had originally made a plea for
financial donations,
they’re happy for both
money and food, especially
since there are currently “bare
spots” on the shelves.
“It’s a real roller coaster and you
forget how fast you go through
it,” Ms. Jocz said.
She appreciates the businesses,
individuals and organizations
that have donated generously,
but the food bank is not free
sailing just yet, especially with
the recent increase in unem-
ployment rates.
“I don’t know what the
future brings,” she said. “But
we’re being responsible and
securing as much as
we can to ensure
we are open
today,
tomorrow and in
the future. We have to
be active and responsible.”
Ms. Jocz plans to
update the public on exactly how their
donations have helped in the near future.
Call 905-839-9537 to find out how to
donate.

Federal, provincial
governments provide
$10.6 billion in loans
BY MELISSA MANCINI
mmancini@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- General Motors Canada will not
face court-supervised restructuring like its
American counterpart.
Taxpayers will provide the company with
$10.6 billion in loans invested in the com-
pany by the Ontario and Canadian govern-
ments.
The federal and provincial governments
approved GM Canada’s restructuring plan,
enabling the Canadian contingent of the
company to complete its restructuring efforts
without the need for court supervision, a
statement from the company said Monday.
Oshawa Mayor John Gray said he thinks
the loans and restructuring will be enough to
save the automaker.
GM Canada wouldn’t have gotten loan
approval from the federal and provincial gov-
ernments if its restructuring plan hadn’t been
solid enough, he said.
GM Corporation filed for bankruptcy pro-
tection in the U.S. on Monday. GM’s agree-
ments with the United States Treasury and
the governments of Canada and Ontario pro-
vide a fast-track plan to a leaner company,
GM president Fritz Henderson said.
“The new GM will have a significantly stron-
ger and healthier balance sheet,” he said.
The U.S. is set to put $30 billion into GM,
which translates into an approximate 60-per
cent stake in the company.
The filing by GM in the U.S. is not expected
to affect GM Canada’s operations, GM Can-
ada’s statement said. The governments of
Canada and Ontario will invest $10.6 billion
in General Motors. The cash will garner the
governments an 11.7-per cent stake in the
company.
The investment will secure future vehicle
production in Oshawa and Ingersoll and pro-
tect pensions for GM Canada retirees and
create a health-care trust for hourly work-
ers’ health-care benefits. The company is
promising cash for green research through
the Oshawa Engineering Centre and other
investments in Canada, the GM Canada
statement said.
Now Mayor Gray is hoping government
loans won’t mean government intervention
that would be a detriment to the company,
he said.
If government tries to dictate what cars GM
should build and those aren’t the vehicles
consumers are buying that could be a prob-
lem, he said.
“Because that won’t save us.”
The government deal with GM Canada is
very good news, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie
said.
However it’s impossible to know exactly
what the future will hold for the company.
“Nobody has a crystal ball,” Dr. Carrie said.
“At the end of the day, it boils down to sales.”
But he said he is confident GM Canada’s
restructuring plan is strong enough and at the
end of the process, the company will emerge
a leaner and stronger entity.

Complaints grate
after a while
To the editor:
Re: Older retirees hit the hardest, Tom Bulger
letter, May 27.
I am truly tired of all this whining and com-
plaining. My company pension amounts to
exactly one quarter of this man’s income and
my husband’s pension ceased to exist when
he died. I am 80 years old and doing my best
to survive which is not easy.
This constant listing of grievances is dis-
turbing to say the least, especially when tax-
payers’ dollars have been utilized numerous
times through the years to come to the big
motor companies’ aid. Learning to budget
may be helpful.

Heroes Highway Ride
takes place June 6
To the editor:
I have, along with many Canadians, stood
on a bridge over the Highway of Heroes as yet
another one of our soldiers is brought home.
I felt compelled to come up with a gesture
of appreciation and demonstrate my support
and respect for the men and women of our
Canadian Forces and their families during
their difficult operations abroad.
Heroes Highway Ride is planned to take
place on June 6, 2009, with us meeting at 10
Acre Truck Stop located at Hwy. exit 538 just
east of Trenton.
We are holding registration from 9 to 11
a.m. at which time we are going to hear a few
words of inspiration and prayer for fallen sol-
diers, before departing at 11:30.
We plan to follow the Highway of Heroes
to Brock Street in Whitby exiting the highway
and continuing to Iroquois Park just south of
the highway.
This is free for all to participate in. We are
only asking that participants sign a waiv-
er, but we are encouraging all to gener-
ously donate to the Sapper Mike McTeague

Columnist hits mark
in humour attempts
To the editor:
Re: Columnist way off mark in attempt to be
funny, Terry Price letter, May 28.
First, Terry, lighten up. Neil Crone is a great
example of a person who has overcome
many challenges in his life and uses humour
to lessen that impact and help others cope
with their own challenges and tragedies.
If you feel you must take on a subject of
“lack of understanding,” spend some time
reading about our city’s politics or our gov-
ernment’s “lack of understanding” of the
average taxpaying citizen’s concerns.
Then, as you sit adoring your little puppy
peeing in the corner on your rug, loving you
as his “pack leader,” appreciate the smiles
Neil has put on his readers’ faces and start to
think about the big picture. A corollary that
people “don’t care” about the real world?
Neil Crone certainly does care.

Columnist on right track
with sense of humour
To the editor:
Re: Columnist way off mark in attempt to be
funny, Terry Price letter, May 28.
I just finished reading Terry Price’s com-
ments on Neil Crone’s column.
I look forward to reading Mr. Crone’s col-
umn every week because, for that brief
moment in time, I forget the day to day wor-
ries and have a good laugh.
If Terry Price had read the bottom of the
article, it reads Neil Crone is an actor-comic-
writer, not a psychologist, anthropologist or
biologist.
If you want facts, read the Encyclopedia
Britannica but if you want a laugh, get what
most of us have: a sense of humour. As for Mr.
Crone -- keep up the good work. One smile at
a time will help to make this world a better
place.

New campus facility is Durham’s ACE in the hole
Automobile Centre will be
known around the world
The Pontiac Grand AM and other GM
vehicles now represent the past, but many
of the vehicles of the future will be born in
Oshawa at the Automobile Centre of Excel-
lence.
The 146,000-square foot facility on the
University of Ontario Institute of Technol-
ogy campus received another boost from
government on Friday, $28 million from
the federal and provincial governments for
phase two of the ACE. Currently under con-
struction, the ACE is destined to become a
world leader in developing the vehicles that
represent the future of cars and even larger
vehicles such as trucks, trains and planes.
“We are thrilled that both the Harper and
McGuinty governments are committed to
partnering on a vision that will see ACE-
Global become a global leader in designing
the clean and green vehicles of the future,”
UOIT president Dr. Ronald Bordessa stated
in a press release. “This new investment bol-
sters an industry and community in transi-
tion, providing the innovation infrastruc-
ture for a prosperous and sustainable future.
This is education and research taking a lead-
ership role in the auto recovery, and in the
future of transportation in all its modes.”
The new funding will mean an expansion
of the ACE’s climatic wind tunnel and allow
it to accommodate a rolling road, important
design and testing infrastructure. The wind
tunnel will be the scene of testing on four-
wheeled vehicles large and small and will
be big enough that it can also be used to test
trains and aircraft wings.
Dr. Bordessa’s characterization of Oshawa
as “a community in transition” is bang on
and we assume he was speaking about the
wider area as well. GM workers and the
thousands employed in related industries
come not just from Oshawa but also from
Ajax, Pickering, north Durham, Clarington,
Northumberland and points beyond. For
decades they have counted on the auto giant
to sustain their families and even a few years
ago, its demise would have seemed impos-
sible. But the province’s and region’s manu-
facturing sector has been in decline for years
now, and innovation and forward thinking is
the best way of creating a prosperous future
for the region.
The UOIT’s ACE, and indeed all the
research being performed there, is leading
the way in this regard.
While the news out of GM in Oshawa has
been uniformly bad for months, the ACE is
a sterling silver lining for a community and a
region that is going through some very tough
times.

P
newsdurhamregion.com I am baffled by the press the swine flu has
been getting. I frankly don’t get it. In my
house, anyway, there seem to be far more
pressing health issues at hand.
I don’t know if it’s our lifestyle, bad genes
or the fact that our home is built on top of the
burial grounds of several indigenous peo-
ples, the lost Ark of the Covenant and quite
possibly the Shroud of Keswick, but for what-
ever reason, we are plagued by illness.
Please, if you’re reading this and you have
the means, send money ... my children are
suffering. Yours could be next. I’m not sure
how virulent this thing is.
My 17 year old was the first to be afflicted
and seems to have been the hardest hit.
For starters, I think he is going blind. I
asked him to mow the lawn the other day
and he did. I saw him out there doing it.
And yet when I walked outside afterwards, I
could see huge swaths of uncut grass. Strips
of missed areas running down the lawn like
swimming lane markers.
And he never even told me he was having
trouble. The brave little soul.
Furthermore, this youngster must have
some kind of voracious intestinal parasite. I
see my son eating and drinking. All the time.
Some days it seems like that’s all the child
does. I’m buying so much milk I’m think-
ing of applying for a quota. And yet, in spite
of this astronomical calorie intake, the boy’s
pants keep falling further and further down
his butt.
What kind of malevolent, silent virus is at
work there? I’m beside myself.
And it’s spreading. The younger son has
developed a particularly frightening condi-
tion.
Since starting high school he is prone to
slipping into what appears to be some sort of
coma just after showering and before getting
dressed. Sometimes an hour will pass in this
condition.
His mother and I can yell and scream
his name until the cows come home, but it
seems only the smell of bacon and eggs will
snap him out of it. Remarkable.
I should have seen it coming, I suppose.
Prior to these episodes, both boys were
exhibiting strange behaviour.
For some odd reason, between the hours of
7 in the morning, when they are roused from
bed, and 8:15, when we leave for school, they
had become stricken with a strange malady
that rendered them incapable of telling time.
Poor buggers.
And there has been a host of other minor,
but equally perplexing, maladies. Judging
from the condition of anything within three
feet of the toilet, one or both of them is suf-
fering terrible vertigo when urinating.
Also, one glance into the clothing mine-
fields that pass for their rooms, will tell you
that they have also been stricken with some
kind of spinal fusion that has made it nearly
impossible for them to bend over and pick
anything up.
And of course, they are both tragic victims
of seemingly irreparable hearing loss.
Their mother and I sometimes have to
repeat ourselves many, many times. And
they are so young. It’s heartbreaking.
Surely we can’t be the only ones experi-
encing this. If you’re the parent of teens and
you’ve seen these kinds of symptoms, then
we need to talk.
We’ll never find a cure if we don’t share our
concerns.
Maybe we could start by sharing them at a
nice restaurant, some place, perhaps, where
they don’t allow kids.

Good photo assignments generally yield
good photo opportunities and this was no
exception. A local restaurant holds a live
country music breakfast every Monday. I
took the obvious photos at first, the band,
servers and the dancing couples. It was than
I noticed the gentleman at the very front of
the restaurant playing the fiddle as he pre-
pared to go on stage. The set up was a bit
strange with the band in the middle facing
the back of the restaurant. Most of the front
was empty. I knew right away this was the
photo: great natural light, a remarkable sub-
ject and great leading lines from the curtains.
It just goes to prove that if you look long
enough, sometimes great photos are right
in front of you, hiding in a corner of a restau-
rant.

Occasionally, the job of reporting the news
demands the media take a participatory role
in court proceedings by actively defending
the public’s right to know.
Earlier this week, we found ourselves in a
Whitby courtroom closely watching as the
Crown applied for an extensive publication
ban in an upcoming re-trial of Marco and
Anisa Trotta, who were convicted in 1998
in the death of their eight-month-old son,
Paolo, who died in 1993.
The Crown was seeking an extensive publi-
cation ban that would, in effect, prohibit the
media from reporting any of the evidence,
submissions and rulings from the original
bail hearings, reviews, preliminary hearings,
trial or appeals.
That’s the journalistic equivalent of waving
a red flag in front of a bull so the Crown cer-
tainly captured our attention.
In essence, the intent appeared to be to
avoid prejudicing the jury pool by rehashing
the evidence of 11 years ago.
After discussing it amongst ourselves and
with our lawyer it came down to this -- the
ban doesn’t prohibit us from covering the
actual retrial this fall, and extends only the
length of the trial, so we chose to weigh in
only where we needed clarity on the intent of
the motion.
The motion was successful and until this
fall’s retrial is over, we can’t report what was
said during the original trial that saw Marco
Trotta convicted of second-degree murder
and assault, and Anisa Trotta convicted of
criminal negligence causing death. We will,
however, be reporting closely on the new
trial, which is scheduled to begin Oct. 13.
While this application was not too difficult
to deal with, as an editor I have a concern any
time the media is forced to become a partici-
pant in court proceedings in the name of the
public’s right to know: it’s economics. The
media industry is not immune to the effects
of a stagnant economy, which has the poten-
tial to put real damper on the will to fight
publication bans in the name of principle.

FRENCHMAN’S BAY STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN
NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
The City of Pickering and the Waterfront Coordinating Committee
are dedicated to seeing the waterfront become a place that achieves
a wide range of objectives including public use and recreation,
environmental sustainability, enhanced tourism and commercial
linkages.
A Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and
its’ contributing watersheds was initiated by the City of Pickering
and its’ consultant MMM Group in 2006 as it was identifi ed as a
priority project in the fi ve-year implementation plan for Pickering’s
waterfront. The recommended Master Plan consists of a group of
projects, programs and policies designed to address issues related to
fl ooding, erosion and poor water quality as well as a comprehensive
restoration plan that will increase and improve the habitat function
of the Provincially Signifi cant Wetlands located within Frenchman’s
Bay and Hydro Marsh.
The Master Plan was developed by the City in cooperation with Toronto
and Region Conservation in accordance with the Master Planning
component of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment,
October 2000, as amended in 2007. The Master Plan is available
for review at the following locations:

P I CKE R I NG R E CRE ATION COMPLEX
family. In a place of prominence
was a black-and-white family por-
trait of the Donahues: Linda, John
and their children Kayla and Jeffrey.
But only three of them would make
their way into the church, clinging
to each other as they walked past
the rows of friends and family who
joined them in mourning.
At least 500 people packed into
the church. They filled the sanctu-
ary, lining up along the wall and
spilling into the hall and lounge
area. Many of the tear-stained faces
in the crowd were Jeffrey’s fellow
students who lost their friend the
day before the senior prom.
Inside the church, a slideshow
showed more images of the popu-
lar Ajax teen, who had planned to
attend Brock University in the fall.
“When I first saw that slideshow
I was overwhelmed by how much
living Jeff had packed into 18 years,”
said his uncle, John Elliot, who was
one of several people to share his
memories of Jeffrey.
Both Mr. Elliot and Jeffrey’s father,
through the letter, said family mem-
bers are touched by an outpouring
of support on a Facebook group
dedicated to the teen. The group
was started by Michael Lum-Walk-
er, a friend of Jeffrey’s since they
were four years old, and had grown
to more than 1,200 members.
Mr. Elliot read messages post-
ed on the site where one student
wrote: “Jeff’s last status on Face-
book said he was chasing lights in
the sky. You’ve reached the sky,
Jeff, you’re with those lights, and
now we’re chasing you. You’ll live
on in our hearts, we’ll never forget
you, and we love you, forever and
always. Rest in paradise.”
Michael, along with another
friend, also spoke, sharing favou-
rite memories and talking about
the friend who he’d shared so many
laughs with, a friend known for his
sense of sarcasm.
“His one-liners had the power
to make everyone laugh,” he said,
before expressing the sentiment
shared by so many. “We love you,
we all love you.”
Near the end of the ceremony,
Jeffrey’s Aunt Jill said many had
asked what they could do for the
family. She asked that people go
home and show love and appre-
ciation for each other. “Kayla’s last
words to Jeff were, ‘I want to spend
more time with you’ ... who do you
want to spend more time with?”
Jeffrey was driving a Pontiac
Grand Am north along Brock Road
near Concession Road 7 on the
afternoon of May 28, when he lost
control and crossed the centre lane,
colliding with a truck. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 200910

CRIME
Loaded gun
seized in Ajax
AJAX -- A noisy muffler attracted the
attention of police officers who seized
drugs and a loaded handgun from an Ajax
man’s car early Thursday.
The routine traffic stop resulted in
several charges against the suspect, Dur-
ham police said.
Officers followed the vehicle, which
had a noisy muffler, as it sped north on
Harwood Avenue near Kingston Road at
about 3:40 a.m. After cops stopped the
car, they saw what appeared to be dope in
a bag. A search of the car also turned up
a loaded Glock handgun and a substantial
quantity of cash, police said.
Howard Burke, 18, of Millington Cres-
cent in Ajax, faces 19 weapons and drug-
related charges.
Pickering domestic
dispute leads to
grow-op bust
PICKERING -- A domestic dispute early
Sunday morning led to the discovery of
242 marijuana plants in Pickering, police
say.
At about 4:05 a.m. Sunday, May 31,
Durham Regional Police officers were
called to the Brock Road and Pickering
Parkway area after police received calls
from concerned citizens about a woman
screaming in their neighbourhood, and
another from a nearby department store
that an injured and distraught woman
was at the store’s location. Officers then
attended Wal-Mart in Pickering and found
an injured female.
She was sent to hospital and was later
released. But further investigation resulted
in the discovery of a marijuana grow-op
at her residence, which she shares with
a man. Police, with a search warrant in
hand, seized 242 marijuana plants with a
street value of $242,000.
The 29-year-old female was then
arrested and charged with production of
a controlled substance and possession
of a controlled substance for the purpose
of trafficking. She was released on condi-
tions. An arrest warrant has been issued
for the 27-year-old male occupant of the
home in connection with the same drug
charges and for the charge of assault
causing bodily harm in relation to the vio-
lent domestic incident.
The names of both charged have
been withheld to protect the identity of the
29-year-old victim in the domestic dispute.

STUDENT VIEWS
A great place
to make
friends
STEPHANIE WATSON
Grade 6 student
PICKERING -- September 2001
was just the beginning of many
years to come at Vaughan Willard.
I remember walking through those
doors for the first time and knowing,
finally, it was my turn to go to school.
With my new backpack and runners
on, I was so excited and ready to go.
Playing with blocks, learning the
alphabet, being the special person
and playing in the loft was just the
start.
“Criss cross, apple sauce,” Mrs.
Snape would say. We all knew we
had to sit cross-legged because it
was time to get ready for a story.
Mrs. Hall was always there look-
ing after us, phoning our moms
because we forgot our lunch, and
she always made sure there was a
bandage or two on hand just in case
we fell down at recess.
It’s all coming to an end as we
move to high school in the next two
years. I will look back and remember,
this was my school where I grew up.
I would not go to any other school
because this is where my friends
are and this is where I want to be. I
have been on lots of teams like soc-
cer with Mr. Inglis, basketball with
Ms. Salmon, and have been a part of
clubs including ski and chess.
Vaughan Willard has all the sports
and clubs you want to do and more.
Every teacher and coach is really
great and fun.
When I am at school, I feel safe
because I trust all the teachers and
people around me. There has never
been any time when I didn’t feel
safe at school. I am so glad and lucky
enough to be a part of Vaughan Wil-
lard Public School.
It is a great place to be and make
friends.
VAUGHAN WILLARD
The man, the school
School named in honour of
former Pickering resident
ROSEMARY WILLARD AMBROSE
Parent
PICKERING -- Vaughan Willard, the man, was
born on July 3, 1901 in Toronto. He was the son
of George Willard and his second wife, the for-
mer Millicent Sawtell. Two years later, his sis-
ter, Vivian Mildred Willard, was born. Vaughan
Willard’s birth registration records his name as
Marshall Vaughan Willard. Both children were
known by their second names.
Mr. Willard’s great-grandfather, William Wil-
lard, sailed with his wife and family of nine chil-
dren from Portsmouth, England, on April 11,
1832 in the first contingent of the Petworth Proj-
ect, which sponsored emigrants from England
to Canada during the years 1832-1837. Three
ships sailed in April 1832 -- the Willard family
was on board the Lord Meville.
Mr. Willard graduated from the University
of Toronto with a bachelor of applied science
degree in June 1924, and a master of applied sci-
ence and engineering in June 1925.
A nephew states Mr. Willard was his favourite
uncle who took him on holiday trips to the Mag-
netewan River and taught him about fishing and
living in the wild. As a young man, Mr. Willard
was a competitive rower at the Argonaut Rowing
Club in West Toronto. He apparently liked cars
and at one time owed a Jewett.
Mr. Willard was married to Monica Leona
Terry. There were no children. At some time in
the mid-1940s, they moved to RR 3, Pickering.
His mother died on Oct. 24, 1946 in nearby
Whitby.
On Jan. 6, 1956, Vaughan Willard was named
chairman of Pickering SS 3 East.
He died suddenly at St. Michael’s hospital in
Toronto of a heart attack on Friday, March 30,
1956. At the time of his death, he was chief under-
writer engineer of Johnson and Higgins, Cana-
da, Ltd., insurance underwriters, having joined
that firm 15 years previously. He was active in
civic affairs as a director of the Pickering Town-
ship Ratepayers’ Association; past chairman of
the Pickering Township planning board; and as
a trustee on the township school board. He was
president of the West Hill and Highland Creek
Lions Club. His wife died Dec. 4, 1973. Both were
interred in Park Lawn Cemetery, Toronto.

PICKERING -- Vaughan Willard Public School student Meredith Warburton holds a picture
of the school’s namesake.
Bear in the playground,
fire in the port-a-pac
MEREDITH WARBURTON
Grade 8 student
PICKERING -- Our school was built in 1957 at
1911 Dixie Rd. In the beginning, Vaughan Wil-
lard Public School was a small school, consisting
of a central hallway with six classrooms, a small
gym, and two small boys’ and girls’ washrooms.
The administration office was very cramped,
with barely enough room for all the activity that
took place there.
In 1982, a port-a-pack was added. Originally,
it was to be a temporary structure. For 24 years,
Vaughan Willard kept that temporary addition.
On June 25, 2006, fire destroyed the port-a-pack
and it was torn down.
Many of us watched as the dark smoke bil-
lowed out of our beloved primary entryway. I
could not help but wonder if my indoor shoes
could be salvaged. This was not the only fire
at Vaughan Willard. Just two years earlier, on
March 22, 2005, a smaller fire caused $40,000
worth of damage. We have discovered that our
school is not by any means fireproof. In fact, it
is arguably the most flammable school in Dur-
ham.
Like most of the older schools in the region,
Vaughan Willard is hot in the summer. Luck-
ily for us, the beautiful flowers from our award-
winning garden fill the air with sweet scents.
Last year, on a day when the breeze had car-
ried the garden smells into our classrooms, an
afternoon announcement told us that we were
to go into lockdown -- there was a bear on the
loose. No one believed this. We students decid-
ed it had to be a prank. We had given the teach-
ers so much grief and now they thought they
could scare us if they told us there was a bear.
At the end of the day, we stayed in our gym until
there was a parent or guardian who could drive
us home. As we were planning our revenge
against the teachers, the bear was spotted on
the playground. That was the closest Vaughan
Willard has come to a bear attack.
Life’s anything but dull at Vaughan Willard

Beating the throw
OSHAWA -- Dunbarton’s Ashton Brooker reached for the ball as Sinclair’s Chris Robinson made it safely
to second during the first round of LOSSA baseball Tier 1 playoffs at Kinsmen Stadium in Oshawa. Sinclair
came out ahead in the game by a 15-2 score.
HIGH SCHOOL
Denis O’Connor
stepping up at
OFSAA soccer
BY BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- After three suc-
cessful runs into the Double-A
OFSAA provincial soccer cham-
pionships, the senior team at
Denis O’Connor is stepping up
against the big boys this time
around.
Having won bronze at Dou-
ble-A OFSAA in 2008 and silver
the year before, Denis O’Connor
made the commitment to the
Quad-A level this season and
didn’t miss a beat. A 2-0 blank-
ing of Dunbarton back in the fall
completed an undefeated season
in LOSSA, and with it, the cham-
pionship title and a berth at the
OFSAA championships that kick
off Thursday in Toronto.
“I have a good group of kids
and we train non-stop,” says head
coach Shaun Griffith. “They are
driven to train and they are real-
ly dedicated. When we’re train-
ing, we train hard. We put in the
work for a solid hour three times
a week and they keep it going.”
The success on the outdoor
pitch was followed with a strong
indoor season as well, reaching
the final of the last tournament
they played in after winning the
previous two.
The indoor season allowed the
team to stay sharp in light of the
unique setup in boys’ high school
soccer that crowns the respec-
tive champion in the fall, but the
provincial championships aren’t
held until spring. It’s a long time
to practice.
Denis O’Connor opens the
tournament Thursday morning
against St. Theresa of Lisieux,
followed by an afternoon game
against Dante Alighiere Acad-
emy. The round robin closes
out Friday morning against York
Mills.
The top two teams from each
of the four pools advances to
Friday’s quarterfinals, which
Griffith expects to be a part of.
“The good part of it is that
we’ve faced quite a few of the
teams that we are seeing in our
group, and we’ve been success-
ful. That’s an upside for us, but
then again, you never know. The
roundball could go either way.”
The semifinals will be Saturday
morning, with the bronze (noon)
and gold (2 p.m.) medal games
closing out the three-day tourna-
ment.
Denis O’ Connor is unranked
heading into OFSAA, but the
seeding system is based on how
many points a particular associ-
ation has earned based on wins
and ties at provincials the past
five years. LOSSA reps haven’t
accumulated enough points to
earn a top-8 seed.
JR. C LACROSSE
Patriots struggle on the road
BY BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The West Durham
Patriots are definitely one of
those Home Sweet Home kind of
teams in the early going of the Jr.
C lacrosse season.
Unfortunately for them, just one
of their first five games to start the
season has been on their home
floor, which they took advantage
of with a six-goal victory over
Clarington. On the downside, the
other four on the road have yet to
yield a victory, with the latest set-
back coming in Kingston on Sat-
urday, dropping a 9-7 decision to
fall to 1-4-0 on the season.
“It’s a tough thing when you’re
going to everybody else’s arena
to play. It’s a tough start for any
team let alone one laden with
rookies like ours,” said GM Rob
McDonald of his team’s tough
start.
“We’ll persevere and hopefully
it will make them strong as a unit,
and we’re seeing that.”
Persevere they must at least
once more on the road, visit-
ing Clarington on Friday before
returning home for a date with
Kingston on Monday.
Saturday’s game in Kingston
got off to a wild start as the teams
combined for 10 goals in the
opening period, with Kingston
holding a 6-4 advantage. It was 9-
5 after two, with the Patriots scor-
ing the only two goals in the final
20 minutes.
Todd Nakasuji had a strong
night, scoring four times and
adding an assist to lead the
point parade for the Patriots.
Single goals went to Ryan Gilm-
our, Greome Hossack and Dako-
ta Watson. Credited with assists
were Ross Burst, Spencer Take-
da, Matt Stewart, Carson Hyde,
Gilmour and Watson.
“This is a learning process for
all of the kids,” said McDonald.
“They will get it together and I’m
pretty confident we’ll have a good
season, it’s just that the learning
curve can be pretty steep.”
McDonald said that with so
many new players to the league
on the roster, the adjustment
from playing a 45-minute minor
game to a full 60 minutes at the
junior level can be a big one. With
the experience will come a better
understanding of the expectation
level of the coaching staff, and
the level of play that is needed on
a nightly basis to win, he added.
“It’s early. Let’s see how every-
thing falls out at the end of the
year,” he said of the patient
approach the club is taking.
The Patriots sit at the bottom
of the four team East Division
standings, with Peterborough (6-
0-0) leading the way, followed by
Clarington (4-3-0) and Kingston
(2-4-0).
The good part of it
is that we’ve faced quite a few of
the teams that we are seeing in our
group, and we’ve been successful.

In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay,
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again

String together
five wins in a row
to capture
tournament title
NIAGARA FALLS -- The
Pickering Power Strikers U12
girls kicked off their 2009 out-
door season with a win in the
Under 12 North American Divi-
sion of the West Niagara Tour-
nament.
Not only did they face strong
competition on the field, they
had to deal with harsh inclem-
ent weather including cold tem-
peratures, driving rain and very
strong winds on the first day.
They prevailed though against
the weather and opposition to
bring back the championship
trophy from their division.
In their first round-robin
game, Pickering faced Erin Mills
United Eagles and came away
with a 4–1 win.
The next round-robin game of
the day had them taking their
second win of 2–1 against the
Stoney Creek Angels.
These two wins put them
through to the quarterfinals
where they started the day by
posting a 3–0 win against the
Waterloo Warriors for their only
shutout of the tournament.
The semifinals saw them play
against the Oakville Red Gaels.
With a 3–1 score in this game,
they headed to the champion-
ship game against the Darling-
ton Fusion.
Pickering prevailed with a final
score of 2–1 against the Fusion,
returning home proudly with
the championship trophy for the
Pickering Soccer Club.
The Pickering Power Strikers
U12 team members are Megan
Doll, Ashna Ganeshan, Breanna
Geuvara, Nicole Laing, Danelle
Lindo, Nicole McMillen, Madi-
son Penfold, Nikayla Rodney-
Scarlett, Sara Schoelfield, Brean-
na Sundberg, Stephaine Tannis,
Jamila Thombs, Justah Wynter,
Simone Wark, Maja Zdravkovic
and the goalie Taylor Lamothe.
Coached by Gene Gesualdo,
assisted by Krish Ganeshan,
managed by Bill Schoelfield,
assisted by Shannon Gesualdo.

SUBMITTED PHOTO
PICKERING -- The Pickering Power U12 soccer team won five games
in a row at a tournament in Niagara Falls to win the championship.
Pickering edged the Darlington Fusion 2-1 in the final game to bring
home the title.
BASEBALL
Dodgers end
three game slide
OSHAWA -- Ryan Fleming’s red-
hot bat helped end a three-game
losing slide for the Oshawa Dodg-
ers in a Monday makeup date with
the Guelph Royals.
Fleming, who cracked a pair of
solo home runs in a 5-4 loss in Bar-
rie Sunday, connected for a three-
run shot in the bottom of the eighth
inning Monday, giving the Dodgers
a 9-7 lead they held in the ninth.
Adam Garner, in his first appear-
ance since re-signing with the
Dodgers, earned the win in relief,
allowing one unearned run on
three hits over 2-1/3 innings.
The victory moved the Dodgers
back over the .500 mark at 5-4 for
the Intercounty Baseball League
season, and helped ease the pain of
a write-off of a weekend.
In addition to the loss in Barrie
Sunday, the Dodgers were ham-
mered in both ends of a double-
header Saturday at Kinsmen Sta-
dium, losing 15-8 and 17-1 to the
London Majors.
The Dodgers have a busy sched-
ule ahead with home games against
Barrie Thursday (7:30 p.m.), Ham-
ilton Saturday (2 p.m.) and Missis-
sauga Sunday (7:30 p.m.), in addi-
tion to a game in Mississauga Fri-
day.
