Candidates for the Ajax-Pickering and Pick- ering-Scarborough East ridings took turns stating their party’s positions on a number of topics. Participating were Kevin Gaudet and Todd McCarthy for the Progressive Conservative Party, Kevin Smith and Steven Toman for the Green Party, Joe Dickson and Tracy MacCha- rles for the Liberal Party and Evan Wiseman for the New Democratic Party. Pickering Scarborough-East NDP candidate Nerissa Carino sent her regrets.

Based in Ajax, the navy league and sea cadets are both recruiting kids from west Durham. Navy league cadets range in age from nine to 12 and sea cadets are aged 12 to 18. “The goal of the cadets program would be to enhance lead- ership, self-discipline, self-esteem, physical fitness all through a nautical theme,” said branch president Lynda Piccione. Ms. Piccione explains there’s no fee for the program, though a $50 donation is suggested, and kids are supplied with a uni- form. Cadets meet at least weekly at 48 Exeter Rd. in Ajax, with training night on Tuesdays for navy cadets and Wednesdays for sea cadets, and they can meet more frequently based on what activities they sign up for. With respect to the nautical theme, the cadets learn a num- ber of skills from sailing to first aid to learning how to tie knots and signal with flags. Ms. Piccione explains kids also participate in a number of activi- ties through the pro- gram including playing sports, learning musi- cal instruments, visit- ing ships and attending summer camps. “Sea cadets get to go to camp paid for two weeks, three weeks and six weeks depending on how long they were in the program ... the child gets paid to go to camp, which the kids really like,” said Ms. Piccione, add- ing that it’s a nominal amount, but kids feel a sense of accom- plishment when they get a paycheck. Quinn Wilford, a Grade 6 student at West Creek Public School in Pickering, has been a cadet for three years. “My brother joined so I saw him do the cadets thing and I wanted to try it out,” he said. Quinn said cadets seemed strict when he first joined, but it turned out to be fun. He says he particularly likes playing in the band. Madison Lynk, a Grade 7 student at Holy Redeemer in Pickering, has been a navy cadet for almost four years. “I’ve enjoyed it my whole time and it’s actually so great and all the officers and all my peers are great,” she said. Highlights for Madison include a trip to Halifax last summer where the kids got a chance to ride in a Zodiac inflatable boat and visits to the Still Watch, a retired coast guard ship in Pen- etanguishine. The ship is owned by a navy league officer. Ms. Piccione said participating in cadets will teach kids valuable life skills. “It’s kind of an all around training for real life.” For more information about the program: CALL 905-427-0482 youth Cadets looking for Ajax-Pickering recruits SabRina byRneS / metRoland AJAX -- Navy cadets Quinn Wilford and Madison Lynk demonstrated flag signals for communication on Sept. 13. i’ve enjoyed it my whole time and it’s actually so great and all the officers and all my peers are great.

The 2011 Spirit Walk attracted 146 descendents of settlers to the Pickering Museum Village on Saturday. Part drama, part living history, the event recreates Pickering history from 1790 to April 12, 1838. That’s the day two men -- Peter Matthews of Pickering and Samuel Lount of Newmarket -- were hanged for their part in the Rebellion of 1837. John Edmonds, the director of the walk and a museum vol- unteer, said the rebellion was the start of democratic govern- ment in Upper Canada, what’s now Ontario. “We’re celebrating that. The show is based on Pickering people. We try to say this is what happened. This is what was going on in the world at the time,” Mr. Edmonds stated. The show has 70 actors representing real people “and we have history to match up with that.” The audience makes its way from the entrance to the village, meeting actors along the way. This year’s show was the first one for Dawn Gailer, a descen- dent of Peter Matthews. He’s her great-great-great-grandfa- ther. “When my dad died, I got hold of a lot of his papers,” she said, and she began researching her family’s history. “I devoted a lot of time to it way back when. This was all I did,” noted Ms. Gailer, who lives in Woodstock. She started a website, www.dawngailer.com, in the 1990s, including a section on her family’s history. Being tied to an important part of Canadian history is “cool. We have an interesting history. We all go on about the States and their interesting history. Ours is just as interesting. It’s not all boring,” Ms. Gailer stated. She thinks Matthews was hanged because the authorities couldn’t get hold of William Lyon Mackenzie, the leader of the rebellion. Following the rebellion, Mackenzie fled to the United States. Mackenzie had left behind a carpet bag that included the names of his supporters, including Matthews and Lount. “There were jailed for three months before they were hanged. Neither recanted. When the reverend came to lead him to the gallows, Matthews hugged him and said he (the reverend) was just doing his job,” she said. The Family Compact ran everything in Upper Canada, yet a few years after the rebellion, an election was held. “It was the beginning of the end of British rule. At the time, it seemed like an insignificant event.” Ms. Gailer praises Pickering staff and museum volunteers for their efforts. Katrina Pyke, co-ordinator of museum operations, said the Spirit Walk “employs drama and historical fact.” Performing it at night makes it “compelling,” she said. She went to her supervisors about staging the event and through research “we knew we had the kernel of something good. We focus on the rebellion. It’s become more of a por- trayal of Pickering through the years. Following the rebellion, many who took part had their land taken from them, so they moved to Michigan. “Their punishment was they couldn’t own land, so a lot went to the States,” she noted, adding “Matthews was a martyr for Canadian democracy.” Ms. Pyke noted many of the settlers in Pickering were Unit- ed Empire Loyalists who “came here and 30 years later, they were all back in the United States,” Ms. Pyke said. Laura Drake is a descendent of George Barclay Jr., a cap- tain during the rebellion. “He was sentenced to be hanged. He was in Kingston and the family got the money and got him out,” she said. George Jr. had been charged with treason. “The family wasn’t welcome in the community, so he took his family to western Ontario. That’s where I was raised.” His father, George Barclay Sr., came to Upper Canada in 1816 and was a ‘circuit rider’, preaching to Baptist congrega- tions between Uxbridge and Pickering. Mr. Edmonds noted this year’s staging is special because it is the 200th anniversary of the founding of Pickering. This is the 16th year for the Spirit Walk and some of the descendents came from Texas, Hew Hampshire, New York, Illinois and Michigan. museum villaGe Pickering history brought to life at Spirit Walk walter passarella photo PICKERING -- Pickering Museum Village volunteer Catherine Hodge, left, chatted with Dawn Gailer, a descendant of Peter Matthews, as they strolled along the pathways at the museum with descendants of Samuel Lount, Laura and Sharon Recalla on Sept. 24.

Shawn Chiasson, 37, remains in custo- dy following a brief video appearance in an Oshawa courtroom Tuesday morning. He was arrested last Wednesday follow- ing what police described as a lengthy investigation. Durham cops seized computer equip- ment from Mr. Chiasson’s King Street East home. During a bail hearing last week the Crown sought a three-day hold on Mr. Chiasson to allow police to continue their investigation. In addition to running the Kids Matter Family Day Care on King Street East, Mr. Chiasson has worked as a Santa Claus at malls throughout the GTA, police said. He briefly ran a daycare in Ajax before moving to Oshawa in November 2010, police said.

Mr. Gaudet said his party would lower the corporate tax rate to 10 per cent which would mean a 25-per cent rate when com- bined with federal taxes. “Equally importantly we need to provide hydro relief for small businesses,” he said. “They’ve got smart meters which kill their business because they’ve got customers that come in while electricity is extremely expensive.” Mr. Gaudet also said his party would open bid opportunities for provincial con- tracts to small businesses and reduce red tape by 30 per cent. For the Green Party, Mr. Smith said he was worried that Ontarians were facing a lost decade with a stagnating economy. He said part of the economic crisis was driven by a spike in energy prices. He said the Green Party would invest $800 million for consumers and $800 mil- lion for businesses over the next four years in green buildings. “This would promote energy reduction across the board and it would stimulate jobs all across Ontario.” The Green Party would also increase the threshold for health-care payroll exemp- tions, lower payroll taxes and reduce red tape, said Mr. Smith. The only incumbent at the table, Mr. Dickson mentioned in his opening remarks that he had been a member of the board of trade for some 40 years. Mr. Dickson said Ontario lost 257,000 jobs during the recession but has recov- ered by 278,000 jobs, gaining more jobs in the month of June than all of the Unit- ed States. “I’m concerned about some of the opposition’s plans of downloading more money to the municipalities which will increase your taxes $300 to $500 at the local level. We continue to upload the costs from the Harris-Hudak days.” Mr. Dickson also said he and his gov- ernment took flak for bailing out Gen- eral Motors and Chrysler, but it was the right thing to do in preserving 60,000 jobs, including spin-off jobs and pensions of workers including Durham residents. Mr. Wiseman said the NDP platform calls for an increase in corporate taxes to 14 per cent which is in line with countries such as the U.K. and China and lower than the United States, Brazil and other G8 coun- tries. He went on to say that his party is the only party that’s not taking it for granted the economy will grow and promised any extra revenue will be spent on debt and deficit reduction and other vital areas. Mr. Wiseman said his party would reduce taxes on small businesses. “Create a job, get a tax break, it’s that simple. No more handouts and the NDP are committed to small businesses and making life more affordable.” The candidates were also asked about their stance on Durham’s transportation infrastructure, include roads, public tran- sit and airports. Mr. Wiseman said he completely and utterly opposed an airport in Pickering. “Furthermore the NDP is committed to helping make the price of transit more affordable by uploading half of all costs from the municipalities back up to the province, effectively giving the municipal- ities a break on transit (and) freezing tran- sit fares.” For the Progressive Conservatives, Mr. McCarthy took aim at the Liberals saying they had eight years to extend Hwy. 407 to Hwy. 35/115 but they instead ignored Durham. He said his party is pledging $35 billion for transportation infrastructure including public transit and roads. “Most importantly, Tim Hudak has been here several times in our riding and in Dur- ham Region pledging with me and Kevin to get the 407 built in our first term all the way to 115/35. That’s crucial because if we can’t move people and goods through Durham Region it’s bad for the environ- ment with idling vehicles, it’s bad for fami- lies who can’t get home to each other and it’s bad for business.” Ms. MacCharles said the Liberals have invested $10.8 billion in public transit, the largest investment in a generation, for new subways, rapid transit, streetcars, buses and more. She repeated the commitment to build Hwy. 407 in Durham and also talked about expanding GO train service. “We’ll provide a money-back guarantee to customers who experience a 15-minute delay,” said Ms. MacCharles. For the Green Party, Steven Toman said transportation was critically important and more densely populated urban areas would make public transit more effective. He wants to see local employment centres so people don’t have to commute so far. About 50 people attended the debate.

Feedback Reflecting on bicycle safety To the editor: The unfortunate news that a cyclist was killed in a collision with a car on Taunton Road at night (Ajax-Pickering News Adver- tiser, Sept. 14) is tragic but highlights the problem of the large number of cyclists at night without lights, or even a single reflec- tor, on their bicycles. Many bicycles seem to be sold from stores without a single reflector, and the consequence is bikes on the road at night that are difficult to see, even by undistract- ed motorists in clear weather conditions. This is an increasing problem during the autumn as the sun sets earlier each eve- ning, but also can be a daytime problem. Reflective clothing and bright-coloured helmets also contribute to increased vis- ibility, but reflectors cost very little and so cyclists could make a huge, potentially life- saving investment in safety with minimum expense by installing one or more reflec- tors on their bikes. Frank Dempsey Pickering Literacy Public libraries vitally important To the editor: Adequately funding our public libraries is important in addressing provincial pri- orities. Although libraries are provincially leg- islated, they are 90 per cent funded by municipalities. Public library services include supports for small business, career development and employment, literacy development and integration of new Canadians. Today’s public libraries are more than just books. They offer a wealth of digital information and are equipped with technology that often can be accessed from home on a 24/7 basis. Libraries provide expert service in search- ing out the information that local residents and businesses need. In these tough economic times, public library utilization in many Ontario regions has risen as much as 70 per cent in areas like enrolment in employment programs, computer access, DVD lending and library website visits. Our public libraries require significant provincial funding to continually update services that keep pace with the new gen- eration of users with fundamentally differ- ent information seeking habits. Those services are indispensable and provide significant return on investment. Without them, our community is at a dis- advantage in attracting knowledge work- ers, recovering from the current economic recession and growing a knowledge econ- omy. We encourage voters to elect provincial officials who will champion strategies that benefit our public library system, and in turn, all residents of Ontario. Before you cast your vote -- ask the can- didates if they are prepared to fund librar- ies. Val Marshall President, Friends of The Ajax Public Library eLection Conservative candidate conspicuous in his absence To the editor: On the eve of the opening of the advance polls, I was surprised and disappointed that the Conservative candidate for Picker- ing-Scarborough East, Kevin Gaudet, was not in attendance. I am a Pickering resident who drove to Mowat Collegiate in Scarborough to hear his views on education issues, and I left without my questions answered. He was conspicuous in his absence. I understand from the moderator of the discussion that he declined almost imme- diately after being invited. I would like to know if this was a personal or a party deci- sion. Either way, what message does this send to the voting public about the Con- servative commitment to open dialogue and accountability? What makes it even worse is that many in attendance were high school students preparing to participate in the electoral process for the first time.

The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year award is aimed at recognizing the efforts of these youth who invest their spare time and energy towards making their neighbour- hoods better places. It includes those living with a disability or illness who, despite their limitations, still dedicate time and effort towards others. This area has no shortage of young peo- ple who are eligible to be nominated. Many extraordinary youth across Durham Region help to promote growth and betterment in their own communities through volunteer- ing with local groups, schools, churches and sports teams. The Junior Citizen of the Year award, co-ordinated by the Ontario Com- munity Newspapers Association, is a chance to single out hardworking young people for the recognition they deserve, and to let the community know about their poten- tial leaders of tomorrow. Sponsored by TD Bank Financial Group and Direct Energy, with support from the office of the Lieuten- ant Governor of Ontario, the Junior Citizen of the Year awards are open to any Ontario resident ages six through 17. Individuals can be nominated in one of four areas; a person involved in worthwhile community service, a special young person contributing to the community while living with a physical of psychological limitation, an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year, or good kids who show a commitment to making life better for others and do more than is normally expect- ed of someone their age. The OCNA represents more than 300 com- munity newspapers, which focus on their individual communities and strive to define and encourage ‘community’ in its broadest sense. Each nominee will receive a certificate of recognition and up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provin- cial award, which will be announced Jan. 25, 2012 at www.ocna.org. A special ceremony will be held in spring, 2012. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org or by calling the OCNA at 905-639- 8720 ext. 239. You can also pick up nomina- tion forms at 865 Farewell Street in Oshawa. Call us at 905-579-4400 ext. 2244 so we can have a form ready for you. Nominations will be accepted until Wednesday, Nov. 30. We urge everyone to put some thought into who they might nominate from Dur- ham Region. Someone you know could be recognized as a Junior Citizen of the Year. I lost a couple of old friends to cancer this week. I have several more good friends who are deep into their own personal battles with it. Some faring well, some flagging, some just so bloody tired of it all. I’m sure you have similar stories. No one these days, it seems, has not been touched by the tumor monster in some hideous way. I spoke, briefly, at a Terry Fox Run on Sunday morning. And, as wonderful and inspiring as all those good folks are, and as important as the research their fundraising supports is, I can’t help but wonder if we’re not miss- ing the boat on all of this. Why is this dis- ease so epidemic? Why do some of us get it and not others? Why do some of us sur- vive and not others? What are we doing or not doing that is triggering this awful, frightening thing in our beautiful, perfect bodies? I’m no oncologist, but I have been very close to this issue, intimately close, and I have to believe that there is a spiritual/ metaphysical element to our health that is too often not a part of the ‘cure’ equation. We are, after all, more than just a collec- tion of chemicals and atoms and DNA, are we not? When I was diagnosed with colo-rectal cancer in 2004, I immediately read a lot of books on the subject -- some of them I never should’ve picked up -- but one, Love, Medicine and Miracles by Dr. Bernie Siegel, really spoke to me. What struck home most for me was when the author said that we need to ask ourselves why we got our cancer. I don’t take this to mean that we have all somehow brought this terror on ourselves, that we are deserving of it or that it is some kind of karmic retribution, but rather that cancer is like the canary in the coal mine. Its terrifying pervasiveness is, to me, a very real, very telling indication that, in spite of all our remarkable successes as a spe- cies, we are not in alignment with how we should be living. Things are out of whack. No one has as yet quantified or even really identified the power that animates us, the spirit that courses through us, the intelligence that guides us at a cellular level. Maybe, instead of waiting until we’re sick and then throwing everything but the kitchen sink at what ails us, we ought to first look a little closer at that. After all, if, as I do, you hold to the belief that we are eternal beings of light, then how can there not be an enormous amount of power in there, waiting to be tapped? Waiting for us and our stress and worry and dis-ease, to get out of its way and let it do its thing. I’m tired of losing friends and loved ones to this thing. Tired of seeing people living in fear. Tired of the ‘when, not if’ mindset that has grown like a mould around cancer statistics. Yes, let’s raise funds for cancer research. That’s money well spent. I’m living proof of that. But let’s spend at least as much time and effort looking inside ourselves, listening to our body, our spirit and getting ourselves on a track to happiness, bliss and content- ment. Increase your daily dosage of those three and we will really make cancer a thing of the past. -- Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. durhamregion.com7 AP News Advertiser • September 28, 2011NEIL CRONE We should look inside ourselves for keys to ‘dis-ease’ SABRINA BYRNES/ BEHIND THE LENS WHITBY -- Meagan Beaulie styled the hair of Jenna Jones while Alysse Morrison styled the hair of Katrina Howe at Val- entino’s Grande Salon as part of a service provided by The Ref- uge Outreach Centre.

(39%) Total Votes: 234 MIKE JOHNSTON - MANAGING EDITOR By the time you read this column, a very emotional and tense scene will hopefully have played itself out in a Durham Region courtroom. On Wednesday morning, if the court agrees, Craig Wilson will stand up and face the 12-year-old boy charged with assault- ing his disabled 11-year-old son Mitchell. Mitchell won’t be there because he killed himself just a few weeks ago. His down- ward spiral this past year was so great that he would rather have taken his own life than face the boy accused of beating him up and stealing an iPhone from him about one year ago. After the police became involved, Mitch- ell was bullied by friends of the 12 year old. As the school year wore on, according to media reports, Mitchell became more and more detached from his family and his fight against muscular dystrophy. It was on one of his walks, to keep his mus- cles moving, that Mitchell was mugged and beaten. Now, the charges against the 12 year old will likely be dropped because Mitchell is not with us to testify. The accused ulti- mately walks out of the courtroom a free boy. Mitchell’s dad was to read his victim impact statement to show the boy, and his friends, just how this series of avoidable events led to his son’s death. Bullying is a real issue in our schools. I often get calls from parents who say they are at their wit’s end because of bully- ing. My last call was from a parent who said she had two children being bullied and she wasn’t getting any help from the school board. She was home-schooling her children. I was angry when I first read this story. I’ve had a number of people tell me 12 year olds can’t really comprehend their actions and the consequences but I don’t believe it. We can’t change everyone. But maybe, in this one case, Mr. Wilson can change the path of one 12 year old and, by exten- sion, his friends. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom Sad story plays out in Durham court durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 28, 20118 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 28, 20119 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Open to Pickering residents 13 -19 yrs City I.D.required Auditions October 3,17 &24 Petticoat Creek CC from 6:00 pm -9:00 pm call to schedule 905.420.4660 ext 6100 freeteenstuff pickering teens cityofpickering.com/teen Auditions Oc be & 2011PickeringUpcomingPublicMeetings Date Meeting/Location Time September28 Committeeof Adjustment 7:00pm CityHall –Main CommitteeRoom September28 Accessibility Advisory Committee 7:00pm CityHall –To werRoom October3 Planning&Development Committee 7:30pm CityHall –CouncilChambers October11 Executive Committee 7:30pm CityHall –CouncilChambers October13 Advisory Committeeon Diversity 7:00pm CityHall –MeetingRoom#4 Allmeetingsareopen to thepublic.Fordetails call905.420.2222orvisit theCity website.For Service Disruption NotificationCall1.866.278.9993 Events @ yourLibrary Living Library:“Check Out”Yo ur Favourite Ar t Saturday,October 15 • 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm Central Library,Auditorium The Pickering PublicLibraryandthe PineRidge Arts Councilhave teamedup to provideaLivingLibrary.Individualsmayborrow abook fromtheLivingLibraryandspeakwiththem for30minutes.

DURHAM -- Like almost everyone, there were times when as a child, and even as a teenager, I romanti- cized about the idea of becoming a police officer. And although writing was and still is the path that seduced me, there are still times when I wonder if I could have been a cop. And on one unfortunate day, I vocalized these thoughts. “I should be a cop,” I said, watching a police officer join the lunchtime line from a seat inside Whitby’s Pita Deli. “You’d make a great cop,” my co-worker Reka Szekely replied enthusiastically. It was the conversation that followed which led me to accept a challenge that had a round-one ending of me falling to my knees and losing my lunch outside the Durham College fitness centre. I took the police physi- cal fitness test and failed. Although not miser- ably. At 30 years old, I’m currently in the worst shape of my life. That being said, I’m no slouch. I do enjoy slumming out on the couch in the eve- nings and I do have a job which involves sitting in front of a computer most of the day, but I also have two young children to carry around and chase, I go to a boxing club once a month and, I must admit, am somewhat naturally athletic. But, if a pink slip were ever to float onto my desk and a career change were to present itself, would I have what it takes physically to be a cop? On Aug. 18 I didn’t, when, for the first time, Durham Regional Police Constable Mary Carr took me through the test inside a Durham College gym. “Am I going to hurt?” I jokingly asked Const. Carr. She grinned. “Yes.” After taking my blood pressure and getting me to sign a waiver, she went through what the test consists of: an obstacle course, which includes running, going up and down a set of stairs, and scaling a four-foot fence; a 70-pound body control simulator, in which you have to push to keep weight elevated and then walk a series of half circles with it; an arm restraint simulator, which requires depressing handles and bringing them togeth- er, requiring 35 pounds of force for each arm; anoth- er body control simulator involving pulling in a squat position instead of pushing; another arm restraint; and then the body drag -- pulling a 150-pound dummy 15 metres. And the time permitted to complete all this is 2:42 minutes or less. My just-off-the-couch time: 4:30. Not bad. At least I finished it, something many people don’t do, according to Const. Carr. Following the obstacle course, there is a gracious 10-minute break before the shuttle run. This is the one which pushed me over the edge. The run consists of going back and forth between two lines spaced 20 metres apart in time with audio sig- nals that progressively give you less time to cover the distance required. To successfully complete the minimum requirement, you must achieve stage 6.5 in the run. At the five-minute mark, I couldn’t go on. My chest was pounding, my lungs were collapsing, and for some reason, I felt like I was going to lose control of my bladder, just a little bit. I stopped running and fell to the floor -- instantly regret- ting that I hadn’t completed the run. “You still can,” Const. Carr said, extending her hand to help me up. So I got back to it with Const. Carr running beside me, shouting encouragement as she did -- just a couple more minutes. At last, it was over. I reached a level five. Not bad. Const. Carr said it’s a finish of which I should be proud. “I’ve got kids a lot younger than you that can’t get through it,” she said. As she packed up her testing tools, we talked a bit about what things I should be doing to prepare for the re-test, namely squats, push-ups, and running. But while we were talking, secretly I was doing every- thing I could to conceal the toll this little bout had taken, and was grateful that Const. Carr had parked in the front of the fitness centre and I at the back. As soon as I got outside, I desperately began scan- ning the area for some shade, and when I found it, I fell to my knees and was sick to my stomach. While I lay on the grass for a moment or two afterwards, all I kept thinking was, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ How on earth am I supposed to find what it takes to pass this test while raising a family and going to work? And if I do survive this, Reka better buy me a pita. Part two • Training begins and why the police physical is so strenuous: the purpose of its components.

Lovell Centre, 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa Town has many apartments that don’t meet minimum safety requirements AJAX -- Owners and tenants of homes with basement apart- ments are being asked to have the units inspected by the Ajax Fire Department. In Ajax, there are 800 homes with legal basement apart- ments, or apartments that com- ply with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code. But the fire department notes there are also many basement apartments that do not meet the minimum level of safety. According to the fire depart- ment, many residents are “care- lessly” putting themselves and others at risk by allowing ille- gal basement apartments to be occupied. Every year, Ajax Fire and Emergency Services responds to numerous emer- gencies to single-family homes to find they have been convert- ed to two-unit homes. The con- verted homes can “pose great challenges” to firefighters, the department notes. A common misunderstand- ing, says the department, is that the Ontario Fire Code does not apply if family members are liv- ing in the basement unit. The apartment must be inspected to ensure it complies with the code. Typical fire safety issues include: inadequate fire separa- tions between dwelling units in walls, ceilings and doors, inad- equate means of escape, faulty home wiring and absence of or defective smoke alarms. Owners who chose to operate an illegal basement apartment run the risk of being charged and can face a maximum pen- alty of $50,000 and/or a year of imprisonment on each count. Tenants and homeowners can report fire safety concerns to the Fire Prevention Division at 905-686-6051, and request an inspection. fire safeTy Ajax homeowners asked to have basement apartments inspected durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 28, 201116 AP Local CARP chapter to host community meeting PICKERING -- The newly formed Ajax/Pickering chapter of CARP is getting off to a good start by welcoming the organization’s president and CEO, Moses Znaimer.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 28, 201118 AP HOCKEY Getting his head back in the game BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Add Cosimo Fontana to the growing list of names who can be considered an expert on concussions. Not from a clinical point of view, but rather one of expe- rience. It was last November, early in the third period of a game his Ottawa 67’s were winning 6-0 over the Kingston Fron- tenacs, when the rookie entered the offensive zone and went wide. He sent a pass out in front as he reached the bottom of the faceoff circle, and admittedly, watched it a little too long. Before he could curl behind the net, he was levelled by Kingston defenceman Erik Gudbranson, a six- foot-four, 195-pound Florida Panthers draft pick who rep- resented Canada at the world junior championships. Gudbranson received a major penalty and five-game suspension as a result of the hit, Fontana a concussion and months of misery. “I kind of have little flashes of it,” says Fontana of what he remembers of the hit, while standing outside the dressing room of his new team, the Pickering Panthers. “I remem- ber the Kingston jersey. Not really much of it. It was so quick and fast. “I was kind of scared to watch it at first. It took me a week to see it. I started watching it on video in the room a week after and it all started coming back bit by bit.” His billet in Ottawa had to wake him up every two hours the night of the hit. What followed was months of post-concussion syndrome. He experienced nausea, was woozy. He was fatigued every day, didn’t go to school and felt distant from his teammates, alone. The 17 year old, who was drafted in the fourth round, 76th overall, in 2010 out of the Toronto Young Nats, under- went a number of concussion tests as he began the long road to recovery. Just when he felt like he was getting bet- ter, there would be a setback. He finally got clearance to play once the season ended and got back on the ice in the summer. His head was fine, but his back wasn’t. A swollen disc further complicated things. He returned to the 67’s in late August, a little out of shape and with an injured back. It was evident things weren’t going to work out, so he asked to be put on waivers. When there were no takers, he signed with the Panthers. “He’s a dynamic player,” says head coach Mike Galati. “We’re expecting points from him. I know it’s going to take him some time to get used to the pace of the game again. He’s missed pretty much a year of hockey with his injury and we have to be patient with him.” Fontana, a Maple resident and Grade 12 student at Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School, is just trying to rebuild a once promising career. “I wouldn’t say I’m completely back to my game before, but I’m getting back there,” he says. “I’m getting back up to speed to where I was. There is a little bit of hesitation when I go into the corners. When I see that guy coming I fumble the puck, but I’m getting back there and it’s all coming together. “I’m definitely rethinking some things. I like it here, I like the boys and the coaches, I’m getting good work- outs here. I’m really liking it here right now but my dream is to play in the OHL, get back and get draft- ed into the NHL since this is my draft year. I’m still hoping to play in the OHL and get a chance up there again.” With hits to the head in the game such a hot topic, Fon- tana thinks leagues and associations are on the right track to eliminate them. He speaks from experience and with passion when he says something should be done. “Definitely something we don’t need in the game right now,” he says. “It’s something that needs to be taken care of quickly. Stuff happens like what happened to me. “There’s definitely something they need to do about it. It’s definitely something that needs to get cleaned up.” As for any bitterness over the hit that restricted him to just 14 games last season, there is still some resentment, despite the fact Gudbranson later apologized. Statistically, Gudbranson missed five games, Fontana 54 plus playoffs. “Sometimes it crosses my mind, but it’s not so much I have bad blood (with Gudbranson),” he admits. “He came in and apologized, but the damage was done. But five games was definitely not the perfect punishment for the hit.” THE SCOOP The Panthers had a weekend to forget, losing a pair to the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots 4-2 and 11-5 on Friday and Saturday respective- ly, as well as 8-1 in Trenton on Sunday. They have lost five straight, 1-6-1 overall, and can use the extra time to prepare for their next game, Tuesday, Oct. 4 in Peterborough.

PICKERING -- The ice is in, skates are sharp and skaters are getting back into rou- tine. As the Pickering Skating Club begins a new season, members are also looking back on many memorable moments that highlighted last season. Jacob Cheung won the Canskate Champion Award. He started skating with the club at four years old. He skated with the club for two years before playing hockey. He came back to learn to fig- ure skate after watching Bat- tle of the Blades. He is cur- rently completing his stage 7 badge and will be moving into the Starskate program in the spring. Another skater who showed an amazing spir- it and positive attitude was Emma Davidson, winning the Canskater of the Year Award. She joined the club in November and since then has shown a positive atti- tude, exceptional talent and skill achievement and a love for the sport. She began the program in Stage 1 and has rapidly progressed, com- pleting the stage 7 badge and has now moved into the Starskate program as a Junior at the tender age of six. Emily Emerson won the Starskate athlete award. She began skating at the age of four.

She worked hard to achieve her gold test and was successful in achieving her gold dances. She dem- onstrates a positive attitude on and off the ice. Every year the executive board of directors votes for a coach they feel has gone beyond their duties to help out the club. The was pre- sented to Linda Donnelly. She is an exemplary mem- ber of the club. She not only coaches Canskaters, Starskaters and competi- tive skaters every session, but she has served on the executive board for close to 10 years, and is the Can- skate director. Her devotion to the sport is evident at all times and her enthusiasm is inspiring to skaters and par- ents alike. Emma Martin was the recipient of the Program Assistant Award. This award is presented to one of the club members who has had an impact and shows pas- sion and spirit of younger skaters. She started skating at the age of three and has been a skater at the Pickering Club for eight years. She made a difficult discussion this year to pursue her love for dance and unfortunately the demand of pursuing this career has meant giving up another love. Achieving gold is a pres- tigious achievement that takes years of dedication, hard work and repeat- ed practice. Reaching that level were Emily Emerson, Natasha Calizon, Alissa Kuk- sis and Serena Gill.

Led by a 15-point effort from Ajax’s Kalisha Keane, the Canadians posted a convincing 77-26 victory over Paraguay on Monday afternoon. With the win Canada improved to 2-1 and will face Jamaica in the final game of the pre- liminary round Wednesday night. For Keane, a majority of her points were scored from behind the three-point line as she shot a perfect three- for-three in that depart- ment. Canada ended the first quarter with an 11-0 run, finishing the period up 16 points. Keane scored seven of Canada’s 19 points in the third quarter to establish a 61-22 lead. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 28, 201120 AP OntariO HOckey League Generals halted by Greyhounds in home opener Shorthanded Oshawa falls 3-2 to Sault Ste. Marie SHawn cayLey scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Despite missing sev- eral key players and having to ice what amounted to a patchwork lineup, Chris DePiero refused to offer up excuses after the Oshawa Generals dropped their home opener Sunday night. Instead, following the team’s 3-2 loss to the Sault Ste. Marie Grey- hounds, he said the onus is on the players he has at his disposal to step up and take advantage of the opportunity at hand. “Yeah, you know what, you can look to that,” DePiero said of being handcuffed by a shorthanded line- up with injuries, suspensions and bodies away at NHL camps. “But I mean, we talked to our team, talk- ed to the guys about no excuses. It’s just, hey what a great oppor- tunity for other guys to show what they can do. Unfortunately we came up short.” Missing captain Boone Jenner to a lower body injury after he was kneed by Kingston’s Conor Stokes in Friday night’s 5-1 season open- ing win, Lucas Lessio, who was serving the second of a two-game suspension he received at the end of last year’s playoffs, and Nicklas Jensen, Scott Valentine and Andy Andreoff, all away at various pro camps, the Generals were left to rely on the likes of second-year forward Cody Payne and rookie import Sebastian Uvira to supply the offence on Sunday. Christian Thomas did return to the lineup after being sent back by the New York Rangers, checking in on right wing on the club’s de- facto top line centred by J.P. Lab- ardo. And while he appeared dan- gerous at times, the Greyhounds managed to keep the 54-goal scorer from last season off the scoresheet, much to his dismay. “I think we had double their shots, right? So we had pucks going to the net, but we weren’t getting the bounces and our power play struggled,” Thomas said in summarizing the night. “It was tough. I got in yesterday, but there are no excuses for today. I tried to play the best I can to help our team out, but I couldn’t get anything going.” All things considered, however, it was a poor first period that ulti- mately did the Generals in. Sault Ste. Marie opened the scor- ing on a Corey Durocher goal less than five minutes in, and while Payne scored later in the frame to tie it, goals from Brandon Alder- son and another from Durocher as time expired in the period put the Hounds up by two and for good. The goal at the buzzer, the win- ner as it turned out, went to video review as it initially appeared to beat Dan Altshuller after the buzzer sounded. However, follow- ing the quick call upstairs, it was determined the goal was indeed good. “Obviously the first period ... I didn’t like the way we played. I thought we weren’t, as I use the term, plugged in,” said DePiero. “As the game went on ... I think we took the game to them a little bit more and forced them into situa- tions where they had to take some penalties in the third as we saw. Unfortunately we couldn’t capital- ize as much as we should have.” The power play played a big role in that, converting just once on 11 chances. However, DePi- ero wouldn’t point fingers at that group. “We had our chances. I think it was just (being) a step behind or just that (Hounds goalie Matt) Murray was finding ways to stop the puck. That’s it,” he said. The Generals will look to rebound Friday at home when the Belleville Bulls visit the Gen- eral Motors Centre for a 7:35 p.m. faceoff.

After a valiant fight against glioblastoma brain cancer, Bill's battle ended peacefully on September 26, 2011 surrounded by his family. A husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Bill leaves behind his wife and life-long companion, Debby, his daughters Rebecca (Jeff), Amy and Hollie (Sean). He was the adored Poppa to eight darling grandchildren: Lydia, Jacob, Lucus, Ashton, Emily, Nathan, Cole and Ciara. Beloved brother to Barb, John (Linda), Liz (Jim), and Rick (Sue), predeceased by brother Bryan (Renee), sister Lorraine and parents Bill and Corinne. In February 2009, when given the devastating diagnosis, Bill fought with passion, pride and laughter, always saying that he didn't live with cancer, but that cancer lived with him. Rather than letting his diagnosis keep him down, he used it as an opportunity to increase awareness and support, including raising over $30,000 for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and almost $10,000 for the Rouge Valley Health Systems Foundation "Image is Every- thing" campaign.
