RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND
AJAX -- Ajax/Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, Premier Dalton McGuinty and Pickering/Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles stopped in Ajax May 24 to discuss the Province’s
announcement that it will begin work on the Hwy. 407 east extension to Oshawa. Green light for Durham’s Hwy. 407
TARA HATHERLY
thatherly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Hwy. 407 is coming to Oshawa, the Province
reconfirmed as Premier Dalton McGuinty stopped in Durham
Region to announce $1 billion to fund the highway’s extension
to Harmony Road in Oshawa.
The Premier discussed the announcement Thursday along-
side Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson and Pickering-Scarbor-
ough East MPP Tracy MacCharles. “I’m calling this the peo-
ple’s highway,” the Premier said in an exclusive interview with
the Pickering News Advertiser.
“Although it’s a toll highway, it’ll be owned by the people of
Ontario. The people of Ontario, through their government,
will set the toll rates and the people of Ontario will be the ben-
eficiaries of the revenue generated.”

Revenue from tolls will fund infrastructure
such as highways, hospitals and schools.
The $1-billion construction cost will
come from private investors, and be paid
back by the Province over time. Premier
McGuinty noted the procurement model
ensures taxpayers will not be on the hook
if the project goes over budget.
Cintra Infraestructuras, majority owner
of the existing 407, and Montreal-based
SNC-Lavalin will design, fund, construct
and maintain the 22-kilometre extension,
which will take the highway from Brock
Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in
Oshawa. A 10-kilometre, north-south toll
highway to connect the 407 extension to
Hwy. 401 will also be built east of Lakeridge
Road in Whitby.
Planning will begin this fall, with con-
struction becoming visible to residents
next spring. The project is set to be com-
pleted by the end of 2015.
Originally, the Province planned to
extend the 407 to Hwy. 35/115 in Claring-
ton. After realizing it didn’t have the funds
to do so, it pledged to complete the con-
nection in two phases. The second phase,
to be completed by 2020, will take the 407
from Harmony Road to Hwy. 35/115.
Premier McGuinty said the Province
will help Durham and its municipali-
ties upgrade infrastructure as necessary
to accommodate the expansion. North
Oshawa and Clarington can expect heavier
volumes of traffic as drivers exit the 407 at
Harmony Road and make their way along
municipal and regional roads to Hwy.
35/115.
“We feel a sense of responsibility in this
regard,” said the Premier. “What we have
done so far, I believe, is committed $83
million to help local communities accom-
modate this new road, and we’ll continue
to speak to them to find out what, if more,
that we need to do.”
The project is expected to create 900
direct construction jobs and 8,000 to 9,000
spin-off jobs. The Premier said he expects
many of those jobs will go to Durham
Region residents and businesses.
“There’s no doubt about it that the host
communities, so to speak, will be a direct
economic beneficiary of the investment
that is made here,” he said.
He noted Ontario is facing tough eco-
nomic times.
“I would argue that now it’s more impor-
tant than ever that we do this, because not
only does it stimulate the economy and
create jobs, promote economic activity in
this Region, but it also helps inspire con-
fidence in our future,” he said. “It’s a com-
mitment to our future.”

Commuter finds serpent in GO
pedestrian bridge stairwell
MOya DillOn
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- One unlucky GO commuter’s slith-
ering surprise is creating a sensations on social
media.
While coming down the steps of Pickering’s
pedestrian bridge on May 22, Pickering resident
Steve Ladurantaye noticed something out of the
corner of his eye. Startled, he stopped to get a clos-
er look and got quite a shock as a snake slowly
unfurled and began slithering down the steps.
“It started to uncurl and just got longer, and lon-
ger and longer and by the time it unravelled it was
four or five feet long,” Mr. Ladurantaye recalled,
noting he does not like snakes.
“I wanted to take a photo to show my friends, and
then I thought a video would be better. So I shot the
video and promptly ran away.”
Mr. Ladurantaye briefly discussed the snake
encounter with another commuter who came
down the stairwell after him, but said he didn’t talk
to anyone else at the time.
“We agreed it was dis-
gusting and then I car-
ried on my way,” Mr.
Ladurantaye recalls,
laughing.
“People asked if I told
anyone or reported it
and I didn’t do any of
those things. I was not
noble enough to follow
it through to any sort of
conclusion, I just did
the cowardly thing and
ran away.”
He did, howev-
er, upload photos and
video to social media sites including Twitter and
Youtube, where a video of his encounter has gar-
nered more than 750 views.
“It kind of exploded on Twitter so it seems to have
struck a chord with people,” he said, noting most
seemed to share his dislike of the reptiles.
GO spokeswoman Vanessa Thomas confirmed
that someone did indeed make GO aware of the
snake, although a thorough search by Pickering
Animal Services and GO Transit staff turned up
nothing.
“We believe that this is a rare and unusual cir-
cumstance,” she explained, noting that while the
type of snake has not been confirmed, it appears to
be an eastern milk snake.
The non-venomous species is common in south-
ern Ontario and cannot be hunted or trapped
because it is a specially protected species.
“Our goal is to work within the laws that may pro-
tect this snake and work with the respective ani-
mal and police officials on this matter,” Ms. Thomas
continued. “Safety is our No. 1 priority.“

found by a commuter near the Pickering GO station. GO staff was
made aware of the serpent incursion, but a subsequent search for
the non-venomous reptile wasn’t successful.

Justice
Time to bring back
capital punishment
To the editor:
After reading the outcome of the Michael
Rafferty murder case, and reading the
Michael ‘Biggie’ McDonald trial here in
Durham Region, I feel it is high time the
government of Canada reinstated capital
punishment.
I do not understand why they have ‘mur-
der in the first degree’, ‘murder in the sec-
ond degree’ ‘manslaughter charges.
The victim is just as dead in any case.
Murder in the second degree and man-
slaughter gives the killer a lesser sentence.
Does the victim get a lesser sentence? Can
the victim come back and go on with his/
her life? Of course not. They were given a
death sentence by the murderer.
There is nothing in the laws to deter these
killers.
They know that if they murder someone
and are caught, they are not going to lose
their life. They will appear in court, often
represented by Legal Aid and paid for by
the taxpayers.
Along with this, government is spend-
ing millions of our tax dollars to build
more prisons to keep these people where
they will be fed, clothed, have an exercise
yard, etc. Governments are reducing the
money used in our hospitals, asking doc-
tors to take a cut in wages and increasing
the age to 67 before the seniors will be able
to apply for Old Age Security.
Does any of this make sense? If they re-
instate capital punishment, they can save
millions of taxpayer’s dollars, and put
these dollars to better use for the people
they collect them from. What do we have to
do to get this implemented?

Murder trial
Bystanders could have
made a difference
To the editor:
Re: ‘Raw Images’, news story by Jeff Mitch-
ell from Michael ‘Biggie’ McDonald murder
trial, durhamregion.com, May 18, 2012.
The judge was astonished that a child
would shoot video while the child says it’s
the thing to do when a fight breaks out.
Instead of these students taking videos of
the fight, why didn’t they try to break it up
or get help before it escalated to the level
that caused a death?
Is the idea to be the first to get a video
online more important? They knew the
history of these two people. The students
who took the videos as well as the onlook-
ers were not innocent bystanders. They
could have made a difference in the out-
come of this fight.

Business
Honesty wins
customer’s loyalty
To the editor:
There are so many stories in the media
about seniors, especially women, being
taken advantage of by auto repair shops.
I had an opposite experience at Speedy
Muffler King. I had a high-pitched noise
that sounded like a malfunctioning belt.
One auto service business couldn’t find
the source of the noise and advised that I
go to Speedy Muffler as they thought it was
the catalytic converter. Speedy spent a
good deal of time trying to locate the noise
but said it was not the catalytic converter.
They could have easily replaced any part
they chose and I wouldn’t have been any
the wiser. It turned out to be a missing bolt
which they replaced at no charge.
They deserve credit for their honesty and
they have certainly earned my business
and I will spread the news to everyone I
know.

Bev Oda
Wake up, voters
To the editor:
Re: MP Bev Oda repays travel costs.
Why are we so surprised about MP Bev
Oda’s behaviour? She has done this before
(run amok with our money) yet was re-
elected in the last election, so really if any-
one should take the blame, it’s the people
who elected her.
With Harper’s new crime legislation, an
ordinary citizen would be in jail for fraud.
Wake up voters. Throw her out next time
or you will get what you asked for.

Hwy. 407 extension burden eased for Durham municipalities
It may not be the best, but it’s the best
Durham is going to get for now.
Premier Dalton McGuinty’s billion-dollar
announcement yesterday of the Hwy. 407
extension from Brock Road in Pickering to
Harmony Road in Oshawa still falls short
-- some 30 kilometres short -- but comes,
finally, with a promise of financial relief for
Durham municipalities.
Along with the formal announcement of
the extension, expected to top $1 billion,
Premier McGuinty also pledged to provide
$83 million to the municipalities affected by
the project.
That’s a huge relief for the City of Oshawa,
for example, which potentially faced mil-
lions of dollars in unexpected and unbud-
geted road upgrades and maintenance costs
when the Province announced in 2011 that
the new terminus for the extension would
be at Harmony Road.
It should also provide a good measure
of relief for the Municipality of Clarington,
which also would have faced financial pres-
sure to improve roads for motorists, partic-
ularly those who use Hwy. 115/35 and who
will have to drive west for several kilome-
tres along local roads to pick up the extend-
ed Hwy. 407 in Oshawa. Whitby, too, would
have faced some additional costs related to
the 10-kilometre north-south road linking
the extended Hwy. 407 to Hwy. 401, which
was also confirmed by the Premier yester-
day.
In that context, credit must be given to
the Province for finally recognizing the bur-
den its decision to reduce the length of the
new toll highway extension would have
on some of Durham’s municipal govern-
ments. Regrettable, however, is the fact that
the Province took so long to make any clear
indication that relief would be provided to
municipalities; the news comes nearly a
year after Premier McGuinty’s government
announced that its original promise to build
the toll highway out to Hwy. 115/35 was
being broken, and that the highway exten-
sion would instead end in Oshawa.
Now it falls to affected municipal gov-
ernments to maintain the pressure on the
Province and ensure that every additional
dollar required as a consequence of neces-
sary road upgrades is provided. To that end,
we encourage ongoing political dialogue,
detailed staff work to provide accurate cost
projections and regular updates with both
provincial officials and local taxpayers to
put those relief dollars where they are need-
ed most.
Overall, however, yesterday’s news was
good news for Durham Region and its
member municipalities. It may not be the
best, but it’s the best Durham is going to get.
For now.

Presented by
Downtown Intensification
Study receives public
input
Moya DIllon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A convention centre, the-
atre and hotel could all be in the works
for downtown Pickering as residents
offered up suggestions on the city’s
downtown intensification study.
Residents were invited to a meeting on
May 10 to review ongoing planning for
the future of Pickering’s downtown.
Some key components of the plan
include enhancement of Esplanade Park
and the construction of new projects
such as a convention centre, hotel, arts
centre and another pedestrian bridge
crossing Hwy. 401 at Valley Farm Road.
“We’re looking at if there’s an opportu-
nity to put a road in the hydro corridor
with maybe another pedestrian bridge,”
said Catherine Rose, manager, policy
for Pickering, noting that with OPG’s
Pickering plant headed for decommis-
sioning, there could be an opportunity
to revamp the existing hydro corridor.
She noted the process is about bringing
ideas forward and planning for possibil-
ities, but it doesn’t mean the downtown
will be undergoing a big change anytime
soon.
“It will be incremental,” she said of the
plan, which looks forward to the next 20
years and beyond.
“You have to know the key elements
you’re striving for so when those oppor-
tunities materialize you know where to
put everything. The downtown is con-
stantly changing, we have to be ready to
move when the pieces come together.”
Residents were split on the plan and
the amount of intensification it entailed.
“It’s too much,” said Ron Baird, a
Pickering resident for more than 30
years.
“I know the Province has their density
targets and you can’t get away from it but
it’s going to be just like Toronto, I moved
here to get away from Toronto.”
Resident Bonnie Fowler noted the
downtown needs “big time” work.
“There are some ideas I like and some
I don’t,” she said, noting she’d like to
see more retail rather than residential
around the planned arts centre.
“The downtown does need change, and
I know they want residential for people to
live in but you still need a nucleus where
people want to go and spend time. You
can’t build residential at the centre and
put the downtown around it.”
Her suggestions included adding
greenspace and installing a water feature
that could also be used as an ice rink in
the winter.
The next step of the plan will be to
create a draft vision for the downtown,
which will be on display at a public
meeting in September.
Along with the draft vision statement,
an official plan amendment, new urban
design guidelines and a zoning strate-
gy to accommodate the plans will come
before council before the end of the year
for approval.
faSt factS
Pickering Downtown
Intensification Study
The study began in March with a meeting
between City representatives, consultants,
stakeholders and key landowners, as well as an
invitation to the public to share what they did
and did not like about the downtown.
Public input identified some key amenities
in the downtown, such as Esplanade Park, as
well as common concerns, including the lack of
sidewalks and cycling routes.
Planning continued on May 10 with a stake-
holders meeting followed by a public meeting,
where residents got a chance to hear about
suggested changes and view a foam model of
the plans.
Suggestions from the public were collected
during the meeting and will be incorporated into
planning.
Planning will continue with a public meeting
on Sept. 13 where residents will be able to view
the draft vision statement for the downtown.
The downtown intensification study is
required as part of the Province’s Places to
Grow Act, which identified downtown Pickering
as an urban growth centre.

as well as next steps in the process, visit www.

Spring is in the air and after a long winter
you’ve opened your windows to find that they are
old, ugly or just in rough shape.
There are several benefits to
having new windows and doors in your
home. First, they improve the overall look
of your house and increase its value. New
windows and doors are also much more
energy efficient, which means you can
keep your heating and air conditioning
inside, reducing your monthly bills.
It may be tempting to pick up
some windows and install them yourself,
but you may find that you’re not getting the highest
quality windows and the installation is trickier
than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows
on the market, if they are not installed and sealed
properly, they essentially become worthless.
“If a window or door is not installed
properly, you can get drafts coming into the
house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of
Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls
from people who have tried to install windows
themselves or have used a friend or family
member to come out and fix the installation.”
Homeowners can save themselves the
cost and trouble by having their windows and
doors done properly the first time. Specializing
only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff
have earned a reputation for their great work.
Wayne will come to your house
to measure and will bring with him
samples of the windows that he has
available. Not only can you shop from
the comfort of your own home, but you
can also see exactly how the windows
will look.
“After being in this business
for 34 years, I can honestly say these
are the finest windows on the market,”
says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to
reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty
hardware.”
All of the windows come with a lifetime
warranty on the frame, hardware and glass.
Homeowners may also be tempted to
hire a company that is willing to work under the
table. The problem
is that while they may
save money short-
term, it could cost them
everything in the long
run. If a worker is not
insured and gets injured
in your home, you are
liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be
around to honour warranties or help with any
issues that come up.
All of the installers at Durham Windows
and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully
insured and have their WSIB certificates.
Durham Windows and Doors is located
at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more
information, please call Wayne at (905) 579-
2222 or 1-888-576-8575 or visit the website at

PICKERING -- Community.
That’s what past students remember about
attending Gandatsetiagon Public School.
The school, on Parkside Drive in Pickering,
celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday,
giving former students and staff a chance to
catch up and reminisce.
Val McCullough had been at Gandy, as the
school is often called, for 15 years before leav-
ing in 2007 to go to Bobby Orr Public School
in Oshawa. She taught Grades 3, 4 and 5 at
Gandy.
She remembers the “sense of community,
which is wonderful,” Ms. McCullough said.
Fiona Shaw (nee McFarland) has been at
the school since 1991. “I’m the last of the old
crew. It’s been a long time.”
She’s the teacher-librarian, so she has stu-
dents from JK up to Grade 8. “It’s a good
school. There’s great parent support and an
excellent staff,” Ms. Shaw said. “I’m very lucky
to find a good school and community. There
are not a lot of good reasons to leave.”
She noted the staff seems to turn over every
five years, “so why not stay where it’s gold?”
Lindsay Cassells graduated from the school
in 2007 and gave a “shout out” to Ms. Shaw.
“We had a running joke. She was born in a
leap year and we said we were older than her,”
Ms. Cassells said.
Ms. Shaw remembered the students kid-
ding her about her age. Unless it was a leap
year, “I’d tell them I didn’t have (a birthday)
this year. When I did, it was really big for
them.”
Ms. Cassells remembers Gandy as “a really
good school. I went my whole life.”
Two of her best friends are Lynsey Cotter
and Zoe Allen, who also graduated in 2007.
“It’s a really good school. All of us live in
the area. We did Girl Guides together. A lot of
people found really good friends here,” she
added.
Gene Schaaf was the first principal at Gandy.
“I was very fortunate because Al Jones and I
were sharing two staff at Woodlands (Public
School). He assumed a lot of the responsibil-
ity at Woodlands. That gave me the time to
come here and plan,” Mr. Schaaf said.
Woodlands was right next to Dunbarton
High School, but has since closed.
In the first year, grades 3 to 8 moved into the
school on Feb. 4, 1986.
“There was sufficient room in the school
to accommodate those pupils. In June, they
broke ground on a six-room addition. Kin-
dergarten to Grade 2 moved in in the fall. The
school was all finished in December. That’s
why the official opening was held the follow-
ing March,” Mr. Schaaf said.
There was some controversy when the
name was chosen for the school.
“My trustee was Lorna Murphy. She was
also chair of the board. She came to me and I
had to chose between three names.”
Two of the names included ‘Dunbarton’,
and Mr. Schaaf pointed to the history of Indi-
an settlements in the area going back 1,000
years.
“I knew what she wanted. There were 5,000
to 6,000 Indians in this area and that what it
was really honouring,” Mr. Schaaf said.
Miranda Behm has been a teacher at the
school for the past five years, although she’s
on maternity leave this year. “I love it. It’s a
really nice community. The staff are very
warm and welcoming. I really enjoy teaching
here,” said Ms. Behm, a Grade 3 teacher.
Janice Bell was a 1991 graduate and attend-
ed the school from the time it opened.
“I was at Woodlands when they opened the
school and I came here. I was in Grade 4,” she
said. “I remember it being shiny and new and
big, compared to the school we came from.”
Ms. Bell was at the reunion with Julie Chart-
ier (nee Geuzebroek), and the two went to
school together starting in kindergarten.
“It was lots of fun, good friends, awesome
teachers,” Ms. Chartier said.
Barb Greco (nee Gray) met her future hus-
band David at Gandy when they were in
Grade 7.
As Ms. Bell said, “At Gandy, they found their
love.”
The Grecos have been married 11 years and
have two daughters, Maddy, 5, and Julia, 3 on
May 16.
Ms. Greco said she remembers her “friends,
life-long friends. Great teachers.”
Her favourite, along with Ms. Chartier, was
Ms. Muir. “She cared about the kids. She had
the biggest heart and loved us,” Ms. Greco
said.

Councillors cite
referendum question in
support of direct election
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Durham Region is one step
closer to having an elected chairman after
Pickering joined Clarington and Ajax in
endorsing the position.
Councillors voted unanimously to
endorse a regional bylaw that
would switch the regional
chairman position to direct
election, rather than appoint-
ment by council, during a regu-
lar council meeting on May 22.
At least one citizen was not in
favour.
“I’ve been reading up on the
issue and it’s just not obvi-
ous to me that there would be
any benefits in terms of good
government,” resident Glenn
Brown told council, noting that
an elected chairman wouldn’t necessar-
ily represent the region any better than an
appointed one.
“I don’t see the benefits, but it would cre-
ate a new ring to watch in the political cir-
cus,” he continued.
Councillor Doug Dickerson also had con-
cerns with direct election, noting it would
take deep pockets to campaign across an
area as geographically vast as Durham.
“Candidates are going to need to put
quite a team together and I have a fear
that’s going to create party politics at the
municipal level, which would be a traves-
ty but where else is someone going to find
that team?” he said.
He noted he had “serious misgivings”
about direct election but intended to sup-
port it because of the results of a referen-
dum question on the issue that was placed
on the 2010 municipal election
ballot.
The question, which asked
voters if they were in favour of
switching to a direct election for
the regional chairman position,
received 80 per cent support
across the region, and 83 per cent
in Pickering.
Other councillors also point-
ed to the referendum question
when explaining their support,
while others simply called direct
election more democratic.
“I think this is long overdue for the region
as we come to our 40-year celebration,”
said Coun. Kevin Ashe, noting it wasn’t
about the performance of current chair-
man Roger Anderson. “This is about us
moving forward and growing as a democ-
racy.”
The regional bylaw, which was passed by
regional council on April 4, would change
the method of selecting the chairman from
appointment by council to direct election
by the public.
The bylaw needs a “triple majority” to
pass. In addition to support from regional
council, five out of eight lower-tier munici-
pal councils must pass a resolution in sup-
port and the total number of electors in the
lower-tier municipalities that pass the res-
olution must also form a majority of all the
electors in the region.

From Health Canada, take a look at this snapshot from its website fact sheet “Healthy Lawn Tips”: 1. Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it to provide nutrient recycling. 2. Aerate compacted soil in the fall to help oxygen, water and nutrientsreach roots. 3. Over-seed patchy areas in difficult spots. 4. In heavy traffic areas replace grass with mulch or paving stones. 5. Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused by small animals digging for insects. 6. Set your mower so that your grass is 7 to 8 cm high to encourage deeper roots and help fend off weeds. 7. Water infrequently, but when you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the soil (about 1.5 centimetres) to promote deep roots. Over-watering starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. Apply at least 2.5 centimetres of wa-ter. Put a container on your lawn to measure how much you've watered. An empty tuna can is about the right height. 8. Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to prevent problems. 9. If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure the one you pick lists the pest you are trying to control on the label, and follow all the instruc-tions on the label to use it safely. More information is available online at www.healthcanada.gc.ca/pmra. Fact sheets include “Starting a Lawn”, “Lawn Maintenance”, “Life of a Lawn” and “Common Lawn Problems”. www.newscanada.com

Dreaming of a backyard designed for outdoor gatherings of family and friends, elegant evening dinners, or an escape from a busy life?Make your dreams a reality with the help of Arnts Topsoil: The Landscape Supplier. There are 10 basic steps to the instal-lation of interlocking paving stones. The first step is to draw a diagram showing measurements, grade elevations and pro-posed planters, steps, walls and paving stone areas. A member of the Arnts sales staff will help you calculate the amount and cost of the materials for your project. The next step is to prepare the area by marking the digging location. Excavate the required depth depending on the ap-plication. Fill the area with a well-drain-ing base material, usually a combination of gravel and sand. Compact the gravel with a place compactor in 2” deep inter-
vals. Spread a 1” layer of coarse sand on the compacted base and level. Lay the paving stones on the coarse sand, stag-gering the joints for stability. Mark and cut any pavers that do not fit along the edges and around objects. Install brick edge restraints along the perimeter of the paving stones to prevent the pavers from shifting. Sweep the surface of the paving stones and compact with a gas plate compactor to settle the pavers into the layer of coarse sand. Finish the proj-ect by sweeping fine sand into the joints of the pavers. Visit Arnts Topsoil in Whitby at 4400 Halls Rd. N. for a FREE OAKS CON-CRETE PRODUCTS’ DIY Seminar on Saturday May 26th or Saturday June 2nd 2012 at 10:00am. No registration required, come rain or shine.

Artist, designer showing
his work at Town Hall
Mike RuTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- You may not know Bob White,
especially if you’re fairly new to Ajax, but
it’s more than likely you’ve seen his work.
The artist and designer, an Ajax resident
before the town became a town, designed
the wall at Veterans’ Point Gardens at the
Ajax lakefront, including the copper plates
showing the branches of military service.
And if you’ve read Vimy, author Pierre Ber-
ton personally asked White to illustrate it.
But perhaps his greatest pieces have been
reserved for family members and friends,
special-occasion works that not only show
his great talent but also his imagination.
Ajacians are invited to see these and other
works in White’s first-ever art show at Ajax
Town Hall from May 24 to June 28.
He estimates he’s done 25 such works for
friends and family, marking anniversaries
and other milestones. Each takes roughly
200 hours and capture’s a person’s inter-
ests and passions in a detailed, whimsical
scene.
“I weave all of this together,” White says.
“It is the story of their life.”
The piece he did for former Holy Trin-
ity Anglican Church choir director David
Kerry, who loved Wagner, shows Kerry atop
a castle in front of a massive pipe organ. A
storm is raging, complete with heavy rain
and lightning, and Heather Kerry, his wife,
a former ballet dancer, is shown beneath
the grey, stormcloud-filled sky.
Ever the perfectionist, White says he
plans each piece out before beginning the
design. Other work in the show includes the
original drawings for the Veterans’ Point
Gardens plates and watercolours showing
his grandchildren, fishing with grandpa, in
one piece.
White says at age nine or 10 in Chelten-
ham, England he liked to draw tombstones.
A bout of rheumatic fever confined him to
bed for nine months, but he kept drawing.
Unbeknownst to him, a teacher submit-
ted his work for The Royal College of Art
entrance exam and he was awarded the
Royal Scholarship. His teachers at the Lon-
don school included the renowned sculp-
tor Henry Moore.
In 1954, he was “offered the opportunity
of a lifetime to immigrate to Canada,” and
he came with his wife, Rosemary, and two-
year-old daughter, Suzzanne. He joined
Cushing and Nevell Technical and Com-
mercial Illustrations Ltd., whose clients
included Ontario Hydro, Stelco, North-
ern Electric, General Motors and the U.S.
Army. The company became well known
for its design work, instructional manuals
and specialized artwork, and White and his
writing partner, Norman Conklin, bought
the company in 1965.
White and his family were one of the
founding families of Holy Trinity Anglican
Church. He and other men at the church
founded the Ajax Cricket Club, and White
was chairman and chief executive officer of
the club for almost 50 years.
Ajax Councillor Pat Brown, who has
known White for decades, says he has
made a big contribution to the town.
“In the original formation of the town,
he’s a legend because he approached
everything with humour and contributed
so much,” she says.
Mr. White notes that in the early years of
Ajax, there wasn’t a lot going on so people
would make their own fun, hosting and
attending wonderful parties. His other
interests include skiing, fishing and hiking
with his family.
“I don’t think anybody could have
enjoyed their life as much as I have,” he
says.

White, who has lived in
Ajax since 1954, is show-

ARTISTS
ALLAN O’MARRA
Why would a young, talented artist with
numerous works of art created, many of
them sold, various exhibition involve-
ments behind her and intentions on mak-
ing a high-profile career in Toronto, Mon-
treal, New York and beyond decide to have
a baby and bring everything to a standstill?
Because Charlene Ouellette wants it all,
thank you very much.
The Pickering artist at the moment is a
sleep-deprived, stay-at-home mother of a
baby boy. But she talks about hiring a sitter
and getting into the studio as often as possi-
ble to continue creating the abstract canvas-
es that currently occupy her creative vision.
The former fashion model yearns to get
behind the camera at fashion shoots and to
teach art to chronically ill children and the
elderly. A long and tall list, but she feels she
is up to all tasks.
Ouellette was born in Toronto and stud-
ied at Wexford Collegiate, where she was
considered the school’s most talented artist.
She then moved on to a professional career,
showing at the Kohl Gallery and organizing
shows with a group she helped establish in
Toronto called Artists in Connection. One of
her main inspirations has been her grand-
maman, professional artist Danielle Lan-
glois, of Arthur, Ont., with whom Charlene
gets together once a year to paint and party.
In 2002, Ouellette moved to Pickering and
has involved herself here as a member of
the PineRidge and Durham West art groups
and showed paintings at the local Artfest
last summer, where she managed to sell
seven of her pieces.
She started out as a realist painter but has
moved to the abstract, in oils and acrylics --
often with semi-realistic imagery integrated
into her surface designs. Most of Ouellette’s
ideas come from her imagination, rather
than any kind of reference, and she permits
herself to follow any tangents of expression
that spontaneously percolate and surface.
Charlene currently has work on display
at Cafe Creme Brulee at the bottom of Liv-
erpool Road and will hang some work at
Pickering City Hall when she assembles suf-
ficient new work for the venue. Visit www.
charleneouellettefineart.com

Lacrosse
Rock ready for Major Series opener
season starts
Tuesday in
Kitchener-Waterloo
Brad KeLLy
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Ajax Rock head coach
Clem D’Orazio would like to see
his team in a game before he
can determine what he has, but
if training camp is any indica-
tion, he likes what he sees.
The Major Series Lacrosse
club held its last practice on
Wednesday night in prepara-
tion for the season opener on
Tuesday against the Kitchener-
Waterloo Kodiaks. The Rock had
a lengthy training camp that was
well received with as many as 27
players attending the workouts.
“I’m pretty confident that we
are ready to go,” says D’Orazio,
who is in his first season as GM/
head coach of the senior club.
“The team is shaping up nicely.
We’ve been fortunate enough to
have a lot of guys out to prac-
tice.
“There’s a really good spir-
it going around the room right
now. A really good camaraderie.
If we can bring that into a game,
I think we’ll fare fairly well for
ourselves.”
The Rock are coming off a 3-17-
0 season, which followed a 3-13-
0 summer of 2010. This year the
regular season will include 14
games, with Ajax, Peterborough
and Brooklin in an East division,
and Brampton, Six Nations and
Kitchener-Waterloo in a West
division. Teams will play four
games against the other teams
in their own division, consisting
of a double home-and-home, as
well as a two-game home-and-
home with teams in the other
division.
The idea behind the realign-
ment is to cut down on travel
and increase rivalries based on
geographics.
While players away at univer-
sity continue to filter in, one of
the players the Rock will have
to do without this season is
first overall draft pick Shayne
Jackson out of the Whitby War-
riors Jr. A program, who will be
playing senior in Langley, BC,
this season after the two teams
negotiated a release.
“I think it will be a good thing
for (Shayne),” says D’Orazio. “It
will give him a year to mature as
a player, play a the major level,
and come back to us better than
he already was.”
The team’s second pick, third
overall, Craig England, who
played Jr. A last season in Oran-
geville, attended some tryouts,
but D’Orazio declined to com-
ment on his status with the
lacrosse club. The other first-
round pick for the Rock, Kyle
Davis, sixth overall from Bramp-
ton Jr. A, has been signed.
“He brings a lot to the table,”
said D’Orazio of Davis, who had
23-56-79 point totals last season.
“He comes with a leadership
background. A guy like that can
help lift the spirit of the team at
any time.”
Looking ahead to the season,
D’Orazio says that the No. 1 pri-
ority will be to score more goals
as the Rock had just 147 in 20
games last season, the fewest in
the league.
“I’m pretty content with the
team for the time being. I’d like
the guys that are there right
now to step up and score more
goals. That’s going to be our No.
1 thing, putting the ball in the
back of the net.”
Following Tuesday’s game in
Kitchener-Waterloo, the Rock
head to Peterborough Thursday.
The home opener is Friday, June
8 against Peterborough.

Ironheads
win second
in a row
MISSISSAUGA -- After three loss-
es in a row, the Ajax Ironheads
have responded in a positive
fashion with a pair of victories,
including a 15-13 victory in Mis-
sissauga on Wednesday night.
The game was close through-
out, with the only difference com-
ing in the first period as the Iron-
heads took a 5-3 lead after the
opening 20 minutes. The follow-
ing two periods were played to a
stalemate, with each team scor-
ing five goals in both the second
and third.
Adam Kelusky had the hot stick
for the Ironheads, scoring twice
and adding five assists, while the
team’s leading scorer, George
Jimas, had a five point night on
four goals and an assist. Jimas
has 29 points in nine games to
lead the Ironheads, with Kelusky
is just a point back with 28 in six
games.
James Malloy potted a hat trick,
Josh Kennedy and Shane Taka-
hashi had two goals each, with
one apiece to Steve Douitsis and
Dakota Watson.
The win improved the Iron-
heads to 4-5-0, as they prepare
for a weekend home-and-home
with Newmarket (7-2-0), starting
on the road Friday, and hosting
Sunday afternoon at 3.

Foley preaches healthy living to students
argo visits bolton C.
Falby School
Shawn Cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- If they weren’t already,
staff and students at Bolton C.
Falby School in Ajax are probably
big time Toronto Argonauts fans
now.
And so they should be.
On Wednesday veteran defen-
sive end Ricky Foley, a trio of
cheerleaders and other members
of the organization took centre
stage at the school, talking about
the benefits of living a healthy life
as part of the GoodLife Fitness
Argo-cise program.
After speaking to students
inside the gymnasium, Foley led
three different groups through
some workout drills outside and
then made a bold proclamation
that when, not if, the Argonauts
win the 100th Grey Cup this fall,
a game the organization will host
at the Rogers Centre, that the Cup
will make its way to Ajax at some
point in celebration.
“We’ll bring the Cup back here,”
he said to the group.
Foley and the Argonauts will
open up training camp next
month, and the six-foot-three
247-pound Courtice native is
champing at the bit to get going.
And it sounds as though he will
enter the season having practised
what he preached to the students
on Wednesday with regards to
making proper health choices in
life and being prepared for what
lies ahead.
“I took three months off and
went out to Vancouver to re-eval-
uate everything in my career,” said
the former Grey Cup champion
with the B.C Lions, who also had
a cup of tea in the NFL with Bal-
timore, Seattle and the New York
Jets. “Watched all my film from
B.C, Seattle, everywhere. I really
took a step back and made a for-
mula for diets and workouts.
“I feel like this is the first year I
have really done everything prop-
erly. When you are at your best
physically, you may not be at your
best technically or your best diet-
wise or workout-wise, but it’s all
kind of come together this year,”
Foley added.
The Argonauts have a long his-
tory of being involved in the com-
munity through various plat-
forms, and Foley looked more
than comfortable at the head of
the class, speaking and laugh-
ing with the relatively attentive
group.
Of course being an Argo means
that wasn’t Foley’s first rodeo, but
he admitted afterwards it always
means a little more when he can
play his part so close to home.
“When it’s in Durham, being
from here, getting to come back
and do this is what means the
most to me,” he said. “We’re
always getting a good message
out no matter what we’re doing,
the anti-bullying or doing the
exercise program here, but it’s
really special when I get to do it in
Durham.”
Ryan PFeiFFeR / MetRoland
AJAX -- Ricky Foley of the Toronto Argonauts visited Bolton C. Falby
Public School as part of the Argo-Cise program which promotes
healthy living to youth. Foley was joined by a group of cheerlead-
ers and the team mascot as they ran the kids through a series of
outdoor exercises.
DURHAM -- The West Durham
Army 2004 hockey team recently
swept away their competition for
the second time this spring, once
again going undefeated, during the
May Madness hockey tournament.
This follows their tournament vic-
tory in the GTA’s Spring Showdown
at the end of April. In their second
year of operation, the Army, as they
are known, have become a domi-
nant force in the Ontario spring
tournament circuit.
Head coach and general manager
Paul Bannister, a former member
of the Canadian Forces, translates
the drive, discipline and leadership
skills he learned in the military into
success for his players on the ice.
With two back-to-back tournament
wins, this approach seems to work.
The team is competing against
longer-established elite spring
programs, and so far has not lost a
game. Once the news leaked that
the Army would be assembling for
a second season, the interest in the
program from Durham’s top hock-
ey players was off the charts.
“There were some difficult deci-
sions to be made in selecting this
year’s team,” shared Bannister.
“There is a lot of young hockey tal-
ent in the Durham area.”
When asked about expanding the
program to other age groups, Ban-
nister hinted that next year may
see a few more armies doing battle,
“Hopefully with the same success
as the 2004 team,” he added.
This year’s 2004 West Durham
army players are Colin Morin,
Luke Komisar, Noah Button, Owen
Steenson, Willow Poppleton, Jus-
tin Diliso, Nicholas Colangelo, Ty
Petrou, Ryan Johnstone, Camden
Brown, James Johnson, Keagan
James and Aiden Reilly, Jake Hodg-
son and Rachel Bannister. The
team is coached by Paul Bannister,
George Petrou, George Komisar,
Dave Johnstone and team trainer
Richard Brown.
The Army’s next tournament bat-
tle will take place June 1-3.

I feel a warmth around me
Like your presence is near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
Your face when you were here.
I treasure the times we had together
and they are locked inside my heart.
For as long as
I have those memories
We will never be apart.
Even though your voice is silent,
I know that you are there,
Every night before I sleep,
Your remembered in my prayer.
Sadly Missed By
Your loving wife Barbara Jean,
Loving Dad of Julie Deanne (Mike),
and Brad (Kerri).
Dear Pappa to Hailey Elizabeth Wilson
and Mackenzie Lorraine Wilson.
In loving memory of
Alan Dunning Age 37
Taken from us suddenly
from canine anaphylais (dog bite)
on May 25, 1995
A Tribute of Love
Dear Lord put your arms around him
And give him a great big hug
Tell him it's from his Mum
And give him all my love
It only takes a little space
To say how much I miss you
But "Al" it will take the rest of my life
To forget the day I lost you.
Lots of love
Mum Lyn Dunning + Tony
Brothers Steve + Gary
Sister's Donna + Sandra
All formerly of Bay Ridges Pickering
Alan was joined by sister
Lynda, February 4, 2009
