Pickering residents’
list of concerns
during meeting
with police chief
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The Durham Re-
gional police chief thinks residents
need some more “cushion time.
“I think we’re trying to squeeze
too much into our days as a com-
munity and that tends to lead to
almost a self-focus as opposed to
a shared-responsibility approach
to community safety,” Chief Mike
Ewles said.
Traffic is one of many issues
Pickering residents raised at a
Town Hall meeting the chief held
on Wednesday night. Other issues
included youth violence, marijuana
grow-ops and mental health issues.
Joanne Key asked how many of-
ficers patrol Ajax and Pickering.
Chief Ewles said in 2007 there were
138, and in 2008 it will expand to
150.
She also asked about youth
crime. The chief said street rob-
beries are prominent in Ajax and
Pickering, describing it as a “crime
of opportunity.”
Inspector Jim Douglass, also at
the meeting, explained DRPS has
set up a task force to work with
schools to educate students on top-
ics such as how to protect them-
selves from these issues.
Chief Ewles explained partner-
ships, such as this, are extremely
important within the community.
“We don’t have the knowledge,
skills and ability to solve every
problem in the community,” he
said. “I think what we have to do is
rely on those credible community
partners who have the capacity and
the subject-matter expertise.”
Vicki Grozdalis asked about re-
sponse times. The chief explained
police aim to respond to priori-
ty-one calls within eight minutes.

Crown’s questioning thwarted
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A witness the Crown says was
hit by a bullet during a melee that left one man
dead and two wounded testified Wednesday
he doesn’t recall where he was when he was
shot.
Anthony Edwards failed to directly answer
where he was when he was shot, who he was
with and how he got there. Frequently mum-
bling and injecting long pauses during the
course of his testimony, he appeared to tax
the patience of prosecutor John Scott, who
soldiered on none the less.
“What about this whole getting shot thing
-- are you going to help us at all?” Mr. Scott at
one point asked.
“I got there somehow,” Mr. Edwards mur-
mured. “How? Hmm. It’s far away.”
“What’s far away, sir?” Mr. Scott asked.
“Where I went to have fun,” the witness re-
sponded.
Mr. Edwards is one of several young men
who were found in a limousine police trailed
from Durham College in Oshawa after 21-
year-old Eugene Moses was shot and killed
inside a campus pub early on April 3, 2004.
Two other men, including Mr. Edwards, were
hit by bullets, Mr. Scott said in his opening ad-
dress to the jury.
Neven Belic of Toronto is charged with sec-
ond-degree murder in the death of Mr. Moses
and two counts of aggravated assault in con-
nection with the wounding of the other men.
Witnesses so far at this Superior Court trial
have said shooting erupted after a group of
young men strode into the pub, appearing to
intentionally bump into other patrons, includ-
ing Mr. Moses.
The Crown contends Mr. Belic fled Durham
College in the limo with his friends after the
shooting, and managed to escape when cops
pulled the car over later.
In court Wednesday Mr. Edwards said he
didn’t recognize pictures of a number of the
young men the Crown contends he went to
the college with the night of the shooting --
including Mr. Belic.
Pointing to the defendant, Mr. Scott asked
the witness if he knows Mr. Belic.
“It doesn’t look like somebody I would talk
to,” Mr. Edwards replied.
In other testimony, a former girlfriend has
testified she saw Mr. Belic packing a gun in the
months prior to the fatal shooting.
Sally Ruez said she’d seen Mr. Belic with a
black handgun “In his pants. In his waist.”
An earlier witness to the college shooting
said she’d seen a man reach toward his waist
prior to hearing shots. A black 9-mm handgun
has been entered into evidence at the trial.
Ms. Ruez also said Wednesday she got a
call from Mr. Belic, who was seeking a ride in
the early morning hours after Mr. Moses was
gunned down. A disheveled Mr. Belic said “he
went out and he had some problems,” when
she picked him up in east Toronto on her way
home from work at a Richmond Hill massage
parlour, Ms. Ruez testified.

Bandit abandons
bank robbery
PICKERING — A would-be bandit appears
to have developed a case of cold feet during
an attempted bank robbery Wednesday in
Pickering.
Durham police Sergeant Paul McCurbin
said a man walked into a TD Canada Trust
branch on Liverpool Road just before 2 p.m.
and handed a teller a note. The teller left the
counter to get cash, he said.
”When she came back he was gone,” Sgt.
McCurbin said.
Police are looking for a man with a thin
build who stands about six feet tall. He wore a
three-quarter length blue trench coat.

DURHAM — Project
Porchlight is showing
Durham Region the light
when it comes to saving
the world one energy-ef-
ficient bulb at a time.
With the help of over
100 volunteers from King-
sway College, 9,000 com-
pact fluorescent light
(CFL) bulbs were handed
out for free at the school
on Wednesday Nov. 14.
More bulbs will reach
the rest of Oshawa, as well
as, Whitby by the end of
the month as volunteers
continue the campaign
door-to-door. The volun-
teers also gave out energy
saving information and
coupons for purchasing
CFL bulbs.
Project Porchlight, is
part of One Change, a non-
profit organization funded
by the provincial Ministry
of Environment and the
Ontario Power Authority.
There will be 100 commu-
nities in Ontario involved
in the campaign, which
organizers hope will send
out a message about the
importance of making
smart energy choices, es-
pecially with the looming
threat of global warming.
It originally sparked
interest in Ottawa where
220,000 CFL bulbs were
distributed and it has also
seen positive results in
areas such as, Peterbor-
ough and Scugog.
Lesley Parnell, regional
coordinator for Project
Porchlight, said other
provinces are being turned
on to the idea as people
realize how easy it can be
to become environmen-
tally friendly.
“It is staggering to think
that if you can change a
light bulb, you can change
the world,” she said. “We
want people to know
they can save all kinds of
money and reduce pollu-
tion significantly because
one small change can
make a huge difference,”
The CFL bulbs use up to
75 per cent less electricity
and last longer than tradi-
tional incandescent bulbs.
According to Ms. Parnell,
for every switch to a CFL
bulb in a household, $50
is saved in hydro bills and
greenhouse gas emission
is reduced by half a tonne.

Wide Awake is an initiative of Durham Lives! that
includes representatives from organizations
concerned about youth tobacco use. Wide Awake
began in 2004 as a forum for students in Whitby
and has expanded its reach throughout all of
Durham Region. Wide Awake aims to educate
youth about tobacco and the tobacco industry, and
support youth in advocating for tobacco control in
their community.
Wide Awake has promoted smoke-free movies at
the Toronto International Film Festival, made a TV
commercial that aired on CBC and provided a
delegation to the province of Ontario supporting
tobacco advertising restrictions in the
. The effect of these projects is
apparent by the community response. The Ontario
Film Review Board is now considering rating
movies showing smoking as 18A. Additionally, the
includes a provision to ban
retail displays of tobacco. Most significantly, youth
smoking rates are dropping.
This youth development strategy is helping
adolescents to become civic minded adults. Youth
members are currently advocating for licensing
tobacco vendors, raising tobacco taxes to the
national average, and restricting tobacco use at
child and youth sporting and community events.
To learn more about the Wide Awake initiative,
please visit www.durhamlives.org. Be Wide Awake
to what the tobacco industry is doing in your
community.

Students hand out a bright idea
Chief wants police called on mental health issues
Covering
the
Durham
news scene
ehatfield@durhamregion.comREPORTER ERIN HATFIELDHe said it’s not usually a
problem in urban areas, but
Ajax and Pickering experi-
ences high traffic levels dur-
ing rush hour times, which
can sometimes slow the re-
sponse down.
William Berry asked how
traffic will be dealt with
when 500 new residences
are constructed in the Bay
Ridges area. Chief Ewles
agreed that will mean rough-
ly 1,000 cars given there are
two cars at each home, but
noted Bayly Street is a Re-
gional road and Hwy. 401
is provincial, and said the
Region and the Province
will have to work together,
and the DRPS will gladly
assist. He also mentioned
similar concerns will arise
when 70,000 people move
to Seaton, and much work
will have to be done before
they move in.
Chief Ewles also noted
that lights in some parts of
the United States change in
two and three minute inter-
vals, whereas here, it’s usu-
ally about 45 seconds.
“Maybe the traffic folks
should extend lights during
certain times of the day,” he
said.
Another resident said she
experiences problems re-
garding people with mental
health issues. For example,
she explained a man will
sometimes pretend he’s
a dog and will bark while
running up and down her
lawn.
“On all those issues, you
should call us,” Chief Ewles
said. He said DRPS has a
great relationship with the
Whitby Mental Health Cen-
tre and Durham Mental
Health Services to deal with
these issues.
He believes mental health
problems will continue to
grow with demands indi-
viduals continuously put on
themselves.
Ralph Sutton asked if
there are still high amounts
of marijuana grow-ops in
Pickering. Chief Ewles said
they’re not experiencing as
many of the big grow-ops
they used to, but people are
using less-obvious methods,
such as growing roughly 25
to 30 marijuana plants per
residence.
“I’ll tell you, they’re en-
trepreneurs and it’s a very
profitable business prac-
tice,” he said. He added now
police have to use other
methods, such as smell.
Reid Robertson asked
about the Air-1 helicop-
ter. Chief Ewles said it flies
Wednesday through Sat-
urday nights. It helps offi-
cers on general patrol, es-
pecially in pursuits, which
usually only last a minute
before officers turn off their
lights, since having them on
heightens adrenaline. The
Air-1 patrol will then follow
the car to its destination.
Mr. Robertson also asked
about citizens’ watch pro-
grams, such as Eyes on the
Street. Mr. Ewles said each
tool is great, and monitor-
ing communities can also
be done in simple ways
such as sitting on the front
porch.
“You are the eyes and
ears of your community,” he
said.

Delegation includes
public and Catholic board
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Local educators got a
look at what it’s like on the other side
of the world when representatives from
both the Catholic and public school
boards joined a delegation to China in
October.
The Durham Catholic and public
boards sent three representatives each,
joining their counterparts from York
and Toronto on the visit from Oct. 11 to
21. At the Catholic school board meet-
ing on Monday, Brock-Scugog-Ux-
bridge Trustee Kathy LeFort and Rob-
ert Fitzgibbon, principal of continuing
and alternative education, spoke about
their trip.
The delegation visited schools in
Beijing, Shanghai and Changsha. The
boards paid for the cost of travel to
China, but the rest of the trip was cov-
ered by the Chinese government.
Trustee LeFort said delegation
members made sure to emphasize the
democratic nature of school boards in
Canada.
“We always told them we were elect-
ed officials,” she said.
Greater Toronto boards offering Chi-
nese education were invited.
“We were invited to participate be-
cause we offer Mandarin in our Satur-
day program,” said Mr. Fitzgibbon.
Starting on Thursday, delegates from
the six participating boards will meet
to discuss possible outcomes of the
visit. That could include exchange op-
portunities for students and teachers.
Trustee LeFort said working with the
boards might present opportunities
that wouldn’t be available to a single
board.
“We might not be able to sustain a
program, but perhaps collectively, we
would be able to do something,” she
said.
Still, it was made clear at the meeting
that the board hasn’t agreed to any-
thing at this stage.
Overall, delegates observed sev-
eral differences between Canada and
China. For example, the number of
students was astounding, they said.
For example, there are 21 million kin-
dergarten students in China. It trans-
lates into large class sizes, with 45 or 60
students in some cases.
“Because the classes are so large
they had to teach in one way and ev-
erybody had to keep up,” said Trustee
LeFort.
Students are evaluated mostly on
test scores.
“Whatever your scores are deter-
mines where you’re going to go be-
cause of how big the classes are. It’s
easy to be left behind.”
In addition to visiting schools, the
delegates took in some of the sites,
such as the Great Wall and the Forbid-
den City.
Trustee LeFort said she especially
enjoyed speaking with a young teacher
in Changsha. The two talked about
their families and careers.
“Over everything I saw and ate and
visited, that was the highlight of the
trip, to speak with this young teacher
and discuss life in China.”
The teachers the delegates met were
all under the age of 30 and none had
ever left China.
Also valuable, said Trustee LeFort,
was the opportunity to get to know staff
from other boards.
“We spent a lot of time together and
were able to talk about all kinds of dif-
ferent things.”
The Catholic school board will also
be creating a task force to review its
continuing education and alternative
education programs. International
studies will be looked at as a part of
that review.

How many light bulbs does it take to curb global
warming?
That’s a question Project Porchlight is trying to an-
swer through its most recent campaign here in Durham
Region. Volunteers recently handed out 9,000 compact fluo-
rescent light (CFL) bulbs on Wednesday at Kingsway College
in Oshawa. More light bulbs are being distributed with the
goal of reaching half a million households across Ontario.
The message behind the free light bulbs is simple -- make
smart, energy choices and help change the world.
Lesley Parnell, regional coordinator for Project Porchlight,
said CFL bulbs use up to 75 per cent less electricity and last
longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. For every switch
to a CFL bulb in a household, $50 is saved in hydro bills and
greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by half a tonne.
“It is staggering to think that if you can change a light bulb,
you can change the world,” she said.
It’s campaigns such as Project Porchlight that take the
vastness out of global warming. They show to common,
every day people that it doesn’t take a lot to help Mother
Earth.
Granted global warming is not going to be solved over-
night. Governments at all levels are taking the issue seriously
and before the battle is won there will have to be some tough
decisions made and possible legislation passed that will alter
the way businesses and individuals work in their daily lives.
Those tough decisions won’t happen overnight so that is why
individual efforts need to be taken to curb global warming.
Changing a light bulb is one way to help but there are other
ways to reduce your carbon footprint on this Earth. Other
easy ways to help are to turn off lights in your home when not
in use, turn down your thermostat by one to two degrees, run
your dishwasher only when full and at night, or even do your
weekly shopping in a single trip.
Global warming is something we cannot take lightly and
it’s encouraging to see it’s being taken seriously through ef-
forts such as Project Porchlight. It’s a bright idea whose time
has come.
Voters want action, not excuses
A few hundred bucks back in your
pocket thanks to cuts to the GST,
who can argue with that.
Well, municipalities across Durham
and Ontario can.
With general purpose, transit and
water and sewer charges all together,
the tax hike on just the Regional por-
tion of your property tax bill will likely
be about six per cent and Regional
politicians are blaming the federal and
provincial governments for that.
Round and round the circle goes
- municipalities blame the Province,
the Province blames the federal gov-
ernment. Meanwhile the feds have so
much money they are giving it back, but
all that money comes from you so what
does it matter who pays for your roads,
bridges and buses as long as they are
paid for.
The Region and the municipalities
want the Province to take back respon-
sibility for costs that they say never
should have been placed on the munic-
ipal property tax base in the first place.
They want money to be injected into
transit. They want money for just about
every social service and they definitely
want investment into infrastructure to
support growth.
But, to me it’s all just optics. No one
cares which level of government foots
the bill for the new green bus rolling
down your street. The money all comes
from the same pot, your pocket.
Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said it
best when she said, “There is enough
money in the system it is just not going
to the right level of government.”
Last week, Mississauga councillors
passed a resolution that agrees in prin-
ciple to a five-per cent Special Infra-
structure Levy in 2008 to maintain Mis-
sissauga’s infrastructure while at the
same time wagging their finger at the
federal government for forcing them to
do so.
Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins says there
needs to be a funding strategy for the
distribution of funds.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
says the Province should add one cent
to the PST and let that money flow to
the municipalities. Mayor Pearce says
the federal government had an op-
portunity to invest in cities and they
didn’t.
Who cares who is to blame -- just get
together and get it figured out.
There seems to be so much blame
bouncing around that it isn’t clear who
is to blame.
Now, I am not a politician, but it is
completely beyond me why all three
levels of government can’t work this
stuff out.
One of the best pieces of advice I
have ever received, which I will now
pass along to politicians of every level,
everywhere, was that no one is inter-
ested in excuses, they are interested in
action.

How can we best support
our troops? Bring them home
To the editor:
Re: Oct. 31 News Advertiser editorial.
I am sick and tired of hearing about how we can better
‘support our Canadian troops’. The best support we can give
them is a plane ride home to their families.
As the death toll of Canadians killed in the Afghan mission
rises, I stop to wonder why we are still talking about support-
ing them without actually pulling them out. We have to stop
wasting time discussing whether or not we should put ‘Sup-
port Our Troops’ ribbons on municipal vehicles or renaming
a highway and troops are getting killed like sitting ducks, and
waiting until 2009 to pull out will not stop our troops from
getting killed by roadside bombs.
There are so many peacekeeping missions that our troops
could be on. Does this mean I don’t support the troops? No,
they have my full support. I support the idea that the troops
should be home with their families this Christmas. If sup-
porting your country’s troops means letting them stay in
Afghanistan, well that’s just an obvious lack of support.

Price tag
of $1 million
called ‘over
the top’
DURHAM — Durham Re-
gion will begin expropria-
tion proceedings for prop-
erty near the Brock Town-
ship Landfill after council-
lors were told they would
have to pay $1 million to
acquire it.
The request came after
the Region’s works commit-
tee felt the price tag was too
high for the property need-
ed to fix leachate problems
at the landfill.
Despite staff recom-
mending that the commit-
tee approve a purchase
agreement for a plot of land
in Brock for $918,000, the
committee voted to head
back into negotiations with
the landowners and also
have staff begin expropria-
tion proceedings.
“I haven’t heard anything
that justifies this,” Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson
said during the Nov. 7 works
committee meeting.
“I can’t even ask ques-
tions because it is just so far
over the top.”
The Draper family owns
the farmland directly north
of the Brock Township
Landfill, a portion of which
the Region needs to acquire
to complete a Remedial Ac-
tion Plan (RAP) to address
leaching from the landfill.
The leachate, polluted liq-
uid that drains from a land-
fill, has moved beyond the
Region’s property line and
in October 2006 the Prov-
ince ordered Durham to fix
leachate from the landfill.
The RAP laid out by the
Region seeks to reduce the
leachate and deal with its
impacts by acquiring land
and establishing a suitable
buffer area to the north of
the site.
The Region will then
shape and contour the site
to allow for proper surface
water runoff intended to
limit leachate.
The buffer strip the Re-
gion needs to complete the
order from the Ministry of
the Environment (MOE)
is 300 meters wide and 22
acres long, or roughly a
quarter of the Draper farm.
Lawyer Paul Scargall ap-
peared before the Region’s
works committee on behalf
of the Drapers, a second-
generation farming fam-
ily, and presented a rapid
schedule of sale with a clos-
ing date of Nov. 28.
In January, an appraisal
undertaken on behalf of the
Region estimated the mar-
ket value of the farm to be
$485,000.
He said the family found a
40-acre property in Kawar-
tha that they hope to be able
to purchase and renovate to
make it comparable to their
current property.
Mr. Scargall assured the
committee that the $918,000
would be consumed be-
tween the purchase price of
the property and the cost of
modifications.
Commissioner of works
Cliff Curtis said staff recom-
mended the purchase be-
cause the Region has the
$13 million in remedial
work to get under way.
“We are under an order
from the MOE,” he said. “I
would rather acquire this
property sooner rather than
later.” He said the Region
needs to demonstrate it
has the RAP under way or
it could face charges by the
MOE. “Market value plus
legal fees, the cash regis-
ter will keep ringing on this
one,” he said.
“Yeah it is a lot of money,
but it also does bring some
closure to a problem that is
hanging over our head.”
The Region had not filed
to expropriate the land, but
Mr. Curtis was instructed to
do so immediately and to
try to negotiate the asking
price.

Twenty exhibits available
for viewing at show
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The Oshawa model railroader
club’s next stop will be in Whitby for their an-
nual show.
Held at Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary
School, 1020 Dryden Blvd,, The Pine Ridge
Railroaders will present more than 20 ex-
hibits for viewing and sale on Nov. 17 during
model railroad month.
The club was founded in 1969 by a group
of General Motors employees and some for-
mer railroad workers. They have just under
30 members currently who meet to watch
videos about both model and real trains and
discuss ideas on how to build layouts more
cost-effectively and efficiently. Club mem-
bership is open to anyone over 18 and has a
monthly fee of $100. Steve Feek, who joined
in 2001, said model railroading is a lifetime
hobby. From woodworking to track planning
and layout in the beginning and eventually
from scenery building to operation, the pro-
cess takes time.
“I find it relaxing,” he said. “I come home
and tinker on my railroad for a while ...it re-
ally teaches patience.”
Club members make use of each other’s
various areas of specialty.
“Each person is doing the hobby but
they’re taking on a piece of it,” Mr. Feek said.
“We have people with skills geared to one
area and we could put them in charge of that.
You don’t need to be an artist but you need
some knowledge at first and your skills are al-
ways developing and evolving.” Mr. Feek said
there are many benefits to model railroading,
including a newfound appreciation for the
community. The Whitby Model Train Show
will take place on Saturday Nov. 17 from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday Nov. 18 from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $2
for children under 14 and free for children
under five. Visit http://trainweb.org/prrc/ for
more information.

Model railroaders set a course for Whitby
PICKERING — The City of Pickering
has chosen not to appoint a closed
meetings investigator, and will rely on
the provincial ombudsman to field
concerns regarding the issue.
The Municipal Statute Law Amend-
ment Act, 2006, came into effect on
Jan. 1, 2007. The act reflects account-
ability and transparency legislation
for municipalities, which includes the
appointment of an investigator per-
taining to complaints regarding closed
meetings.
Meetings can be closed to the pub-
lic under limited circumstances, such
as the security of the property of the
municipality or local board and la-
bour relations or employee negotia-
tions. However, there are issues that
some councillors may want public that
others want private, for example, and
someone is required to address those
complaints.
Staff recommended those duties be
fulfilled by the provincial ombudsman,
at a cost of $1,250 a day plus expenses,
rather than someone Council was to
appoint for the following reasons: the
investigators independence and im-
partiality; confidentiality with respect
to his or her activities; and, credibility
of the investigation process and the in-
vestigator. Also, there is no cost to use
the ombudsman, while there would be
to hire an individual.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill
McLean said he has “grave concerns”
with the Province getting involved and
said “To me, that’s just opening up
Pandora’s Box.”
Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer
O’Connell said the process should be
completely independent and said “I
think that’s the best-case scenario.”
The report notes Council may ap-
point its own closed meetings investi-
gator next year after reviewing the im-
pact of the new legislation throughout
2008.

A buddy bear
DURHAM — Durham Children’s Aid Society’s Karen Cartusch ‘test hugs’ a bear she just made at Build-A-
Bear Workshop. The company has donated 200 bears to be given to children in need of a permanent home
and help raise awareness about adoption.
PICKERING — The eastbound collector lanes
from Port Union to Whites Roads reopened short-
ly after 9 a.m. Thursday after being shut down for
six hours following a fiery, deadly crash.
Ontario Provincial Police Constable Julia Mc-
Cuaig said it was closed for a “substantial amount
of time from the investigation.”
A 20-year-old man was killed around 3 a.m.,
Nov. 15 when his Honda struck the guardrail
while driving in the eastbound collector lane near
Whites Road, police reported.
The car rolled over several times before burst-
ing into flames. The man was found deceased
at the scene, and was the only occupant of the
vehicle.
“It appears at this time that there were high
speeds involved and it was the only vehicle in-
volved,” said Const. McCuaig.
The identity of the man has not yet been re-
leased. The OPP continues its investigation and
asks anyone who saw the crash to call the Whitby
OPP detachment at 905-668-3388.
Hwy. 401 through Pickering closed
after man dies in single-vehicle accident
He’s served 17 years
for brutal murder
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
KINGSTON — Seventeen years after being
sentenced to life in prison for the brutal
murder of an Oshawa man, Michael Yarema
has been granted day parole -- a significant
step in his quest for eventual freedom on full
parole.
Mr. Yarema, 39, appeared before a panel
of the National Parole Board Thursday at
Frontenac Institution in Kingston and was
granted his request to be moved from prison
to a halfway house, where he’ll be free to
work during the day before returning each
evening.
“The board sees a lot of evidence over the
last 17 years of really remarkable change,”
parole board member Susan Sutherland
said in announcing the favourable decision.
Indeed, it is Mr. Yarema’s transformation
from drug-addled thug to straight-laced
family man that has been the theme of his
remarkable bid for clemency, sought under
the so-called “faint hope clause” in the
Criminal Code that allows lifers to apply for
early release after serving 15 years.
He was convicted along with another man
in the death of 21-year-old Terry Spindler,
who was snatched out of a downtown tav-
ern on Boxing Day in 1988 and taken to Mr.
Yarema’s house on King Street East, where
he was mercilessly stomped and tortured.
Mr. Yarema took part in the assault and
afterwards drove Mr. Spindler to a wooded
area where he was dumped.
Mr. Spindler’s body lay undiscovered for
a month, until a tip led police to his remains
in the Ganaraska forest. Mr. Yarema and
another man, Jeff Wiltse, were convicted of
first-degree murder in November 1990 and
received the obligatory sentence of life in
prison with no possibility of parole for 25
years.
Adding to the tragedy for Mr. Spindler’s
family was that he appears to have also been
a victim of mistaken identity: He was falsely
identified as one of the men who had robbed
a drug dealer’s apartment of cash, bashing
the dealer’s mother over the head in the
process.
Mr. Yarema’s bid for freedom began in
the summer of 2006 when a judicial review
under the faint hope clause was held in
Whitby. Jurors heard details of Mr. Spindler’s
ghastly murder and Mr. Yarema’s role, in-
cluding his attempts to avoid detection.
They also heard of steps the convicted
man has taken to turn his life around. Mr.
Yarema married shortly before his convic-
tion and has been supported throughout his
incarceration by his wife, Laura, to whom
he referred during Thursday’s parole board
hearing as “my angel.”
He took drug and alcohol counselling,
earned his Class A mechanic’s licence and
found religion in prison. During the judicial
review members of his church congregation
took the stand to testify on his behalf.
Jurors also heard from the people Mr.
Spindler left behind, including his daughter
who was just a child when he was slain and
his parents, who attested to the pain that
continues to haunt them.
The jury ruled in Mr. Yarema’s favour, al-
lowing him to make his application for early
release to the National Parole Board.
Mr. Spindler’s parents did not attend
Thursday’s hearing and could not be reached
for comment. A Durham police officer close
to the family said they had chosen not to
participate in a process they felt was slanted
in favour of the offender.
Mr. Yarema, whose children are now 17
and 12, wept and embraced his wife when
the decision was rendered Thursday in a
meeting room at the low-security prison,
which sits in the shadow of the brooding
limestone and razor wire fortifications of the
infamous Collins Bay Penitentiary.
It means he will in the coming months
be released to a halfway house. He plans to
find employment as a mechanic and work
toward his eventual release on full parole,
said his lawyer, Renu Mandhane.
Mr. Yarema said his time in custody and
the changes he’s made in his life have set
him on a path far different from the one he
walked in the days before Mr. Spindler’s kill-
ing.
“I try to live my life by doing the right
thing,” he told the parole board members.

Tiny pay cut for
Catholic trustees
DURHAM — Catholic school board trustees are being paid
slightly less next year because of declining enrolment.
Each trustee gets a base pay of $5,900 plus an amount
based on enrolment. For the coming year, starting in De-
cember, each trustee will make $11,226.78, $51.41 less than
this year. The board chairwoman will earn $17,444.33, $63.16
less than last year and the vice chairman earns $51.28 less
for a total of $14,335.56. Still, that’s more than the trustees
were earning before October of last year, when the board
raised the honorarium from $5,000 per year to the maximum
amount allowed under new provincial regulations. The move
came after consultation with a citizen’s advisory committee.

AJAX — The former St.
Francis de Sales Church
building is going from the
business of saving souls to
probably being used to put-
ting on shows.
After more than 130 years
as a church, the former St.
Francis de Sales building on
Church Street is going to be
used for something else.
The Town has bought the
building from the Toronto
Archdiocese for $50,000 and
will now study what to do
with it, says Brian Skinner,
the chief administrative of-
ficer for Ajax.
“It’s an opportunity. We
found out the archdiocese
was planning on selling it.
The local parish had no in-
terest, no need for it. We felt
it’s an important heritage fea-
ture in the town,” Mr. Skinner
says. “It’s an opportunity to
retain a very important heri-
tage feature in our communi-
ty. It’s space our community
can use and need.
“There’s no doubt it’s the
most striking landmark we
have in our town.”
The 4,000-square-foot
building was built in 1871
and has a number of High
Victorian Gothic church ar-
chitectural features. There’s
an octagonal spire, Gothic
stained glass windows which
bear the names of some of
the early founding families,
and a steeply pitched roof
with three rose-coloured tre-
foil window dormers.
It hasn’t been used for reli-
gious services in a few years,
as the congregation had out-
grown the building. A new St.
Francis de Sales Church was
built on Ravenscroft Road.
The old building was des-
ignated a heritage building
in 1999 and the Town fought
the archdiocese to preserve
the structure. The Town’s fear
is deterioration caused by
the building being left stand-
ing and not being used, he
states.
If the Town hadn’t stepped
in, “at some future point in
the not too distant future,
we’d see a demolition request
for it.”
The $50,000 is “a good
price. There will be some
capital improvements need-
ed to sustain the church.”
Money will be included in
the capital budget to consid-
er upgrades.
The building has a capac-
ity of about 300 people and,
as for how the Town will use
it, Mr. Skinner states, “It defi-
nitely lends itself to arts and
culture venues. It’s quite fit-
ting for theatre, arts and cul-
ture.”
A “definite use” hasn’t
been determined and will
only be known once the
Town has studied different
options, he notes. The Town
is going to have a structural
review completed to identify
short and long-term repair
and maintenance costs. The
review will also outline the
costs to retrofit the building
and to make it fully acces-
sible.
The purchase only in-
cludes the building and not
the parking lot, he says.
“We’re entering into an
agreement with the Catho-
lic school board for use of
the parking lot,” Mr. Skinner
notes.
The building would be
used on evening and week-
ends, he says. “Basically,
when the school is not used.”
The Town is also explor-
ing various funding options
to help cut restoration costs,
such as private and com-
munity partnerships, as well
as sponsorships. Anyone
with a fundraising sugges-
tion or idea can call 905-
619-2529, ext. 335, or e-mail

Teacher weaving better future for Africa’s orphans
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A high school
teacher is reaching out to an
orphanage by using sewing to
weave better futures.
Kirsten Boucher, a resi-
dent of Whitby who teaches
math at J. Clarke Richardson
in Ajax, spent four weeks in
September contributing her
sewing talents to The Olive
Branch for Children in Tan-
zania, Africa.
The Olive Branch for Chil-
dren is a non-profit Ontario
charity that aims to improve
the lives of young people
from the Mbeya Region who
have been affected by HIV/
AIDS. The youth, aged three
to mid-20s, have either been
born with the illness or have
been orphaned as a result of
it.
The plan was to develop a
sewing school, which could
serve as a self-sustainability
program for the 67 young in-
dividuals.
“We want to set them up
for life,” Ms. Boucher said.
“Those who are good at
academics, we help them
through the natural course
in schooling but for those
who are not academically
inclined, we wanted to set
them up with a way to make
money.”
Arriving in Africa with
quilting supplies none of the
locals had seen before, Ms.
Boucher taught the youth and
staff how to use an electric
sewing machine. All items
were being made to be sold in
a store established for them.
In addition to sewing, The
Olive Branch for Children is
planning many other creative
endeavours that could yield
potential items for sale, such
as glass beads and pottery
making.
Ms. Boucher’s presence
emphasized the organiza-
tion‘s goals, according to
founder and director, Debo-
rah McCracken.
“Our main intentions are
to create well-rounded and
balanced individuals who
can enter into the community
as members of the workforce
and also as positive role mod-
els who can function well
spiritually and mentally.”
Ms. Boucher was first
drawn to helping the charity
in 2005 when she heard Ms.
McCracken deliver a speech
at the Peace Lutheran Church
in Pickering.
“I saw how much work
Deborah was putting into this
and it made me want to go
there and see what they need
and how I could help.”
The youth had already
learned basic sewing through
a course and Ms. Boucher,
who has been sewing since
childhood, was happy to help
them hone those skills.
She said the children em-
braced the activity and were
always satisfied with the re-
sults, particularly with one
quilted bag they made by
putting together various rem-
nants.
“When they saw the fin-
ished product, they were all
smiles,” she said. “They were
so proud of getting it done.”
Ms. McCracken agreed that
the children reacted positive-
ly to the program.
“They know they’re going
to have a very stable, fair
trade income to help feed
their families,” she said. “Ev-
eryone’s really happy.”
Ms. Boucher, who also
donates to an orphanage in
India, said what really drew
her to The Olive Branch for
Children was the organiza-
tion’s ability to never lose
sight of its cause.
“When you donate a dol-
lar, every single cent goes to
help the children. There’s no
advertising, no employees,
everybody’s a volunteer.”

www.theolivebranchforchil-
dren.org.

charity with the mission of assisting children who live in or come to the Mbeya Region of Tanzania
and have been orphaned by the ravages of HIV/AIDS, or who have been born with HIV/AIDS.

Students launch
World University
Service of
Canada chapter
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A group of
UOIT students is taking on
global poverty by starting
a chapter of World Uni-
versity Services of Canada
(WUSC), which can be
found on more than 60
campuses.
The international devel-
opment agency is a net-
work of both individuals
and post-secondary insti-
tutions.
“Basically it’s a network
of universities and colleges
who believe education is the
key to changing the world,”
said Jessica O’Brien, presi-
dent of WUSC at UOIT.
Ms. O’Brien, a second-
year health sciences stu-
dent, said she first discov-
ered the organization while
surfing the web.
“I realized our campus
was missing something like
this. I think it’s important
for every campus to have a
group with similar goals to
WUSC.”
There are several aspects
to WUSC, including a cam-
paign against global pov-
erty.
The organization advo-
cates the United Nations’
Millennium Development
Goals which 192 nations,
including Canada, pledged
to support.
The list of eight goals, to
be achieved by 2015, in-
cludes eradicating extreme
poverty and hunger, uni-
versal primary education,
promoting gender equal-
ity, reducing child mortal-
ity and combating diseases
like HIV/AIDS and malaria.
“We believe we have to hold
our government respon-
sible for achieving those
goals,” said Ms. O’Brien,
adding that the group is
also trying to educate stu-
dents.
She co-founded the
UOIT chapter with third-
year physics student Iain
Moyles last spring and
launched their first cam-
paign this fall.
The group held a bake
sale and collected signa-
tures on a banner against
poverty which was sent to
the Make Poverty History
office in Ottawa. It will be
part of Canada’s contribu-
tion to a global banner to
be displayed at events like
the G8 meeting in Japan.
Ms. O’Brien said her
group raised $200, which
is enough to buy a bicycle
ambulance for a village in
Malawi.
Currently, WUSC at
UOIT has about 100 mem-
bers, but the group is hop-
ing to increase that and Ms.
O’Brien said membership
is open to Durham College
and Trent in Oshawa stu-
dents as well.
In terms of future goals,
the group would like to
see the UOIT chapter par-
ticipate in WUSC’s Student
Refugee Program, which
covers the tuition and liv-
ing costs for a refugee at-
tending college or univer-
sity. Since 1978, more than
900 student refugees have
attended school in Canada
as a result of the program.
Many of them later became
Canadian citizens.
Ms. O’Brien said she’s
hoping to hold an infor-
mation session about the
program on campus and
perhaps have a student ref-
ugee from another school
come and speak.
The group will host a pub
night on campus for stu-
dents on Nov. 29.
Proceeds from advance
ticket sales and part of the
tickets at the gate will go to
the group.

UOIT group takes on global poverty

UOIT students Andrew Elliot, Jessica O’Brien and Iain Moyles have formed a group to tackle international poverty issues.
The balance
of health
DURHAM — Rouge Valley
Ajax and Pickering hospi-
tal was full of energy with a
number of health exhibits
on display recently.
After winning a healthy
workplace award from the
Ontario Health Association,
the Rouge Valley Health
System held a number of
healthy workplace fairs in
conjunction with Lakeridge
Health. They were meant to
help health care employees,
physicians, volunteers and
co-op students stay healthy
themselves. Exhibitors in-
cluded Restorative Reflex-
ology, Zahra’s School of
Middle Eastern Dance, the
Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion and the Durham Re-
gion Health Department.
Shelley Davie, joint
healthy workplace co-ordi-
nator, occupational health,
safety and wellness for RVHS
and Lakeridge Health, said a
healthy workforce at a hos-
pital is vital for quality care.
“If you’re not balanced
well - in life balance, energy
and enthusiasm - you can’t
really optimally look after
someone else,” she said.
One co-op student in
day surgery at the hospital,
Heather Catania, sees the
importance of a healthy
workplace and said the fair
was useful because “it’s stuff
you’re not exposed to.”
Sahaja Yoga Canada
(which has locations across
the Greater Toronto Area)
was there to demonstrate
how balance and energy
can benefit health.
“You have to get peace
in yourself before you can
get peace in the world,”
volunteer yoga teacher Reg
Moberley said. He added he
finds hospital patients are
generally receptive to yoga
because they’re ready for
it and are “looking to heal
themselves.”
Facebook is a highly popular online social
network boasting more than 33 million users
worldwide. In this three-part series we take a
look at how local companies and educators
are using the technology and the problems it
can cause.
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Before Edie Forsyth meets
anyone regarding business, she first runs
their name through an Internet search.
When it comes to the business industry,
some employers are doing the same thing
for potential job candidates, says the
Durham Region Employment Network’s
executive director.
“They’re almost using it as a screening
device now,” says Ms. Forsyth, referring to
search engines and social networks such as
facebook. “It’s like a background check.”
While Ms. Forsyth doesn’t have a
facebook account, her 18-year-old
daughter does and she has seen what some
young adults are posting.
“Eighteen, you’re thinking the more stuff
I have of the partying pictures, the cooler
I am,” she says, slightly shaking her head.
“I’m not going to hire a party animal.
“It’s like they say, a picture’s worth a
thousand words - what does that picture
say to an employer,” she continues.
Ms. Forsyth says they need to educate
people on the negative side of posting
so much personal information on the
Internet, which can jeopardize their future
employment.
“They don’t realize what they’re doing...
they think they’re safe and they’re not,”
says Ms. Forsyth.
In a quick poll to some of its Community
Access Program sites, she received some
Facebook feedback from around Durham
Region. At the Clarington library, they’re
starting to train staff on Facebook, to use
it as a way of getting teenagers into the
library.
“It’s becoming very wide-spread,” says
Ms. Forsyth.
Some poll responders warned of the
dangers of posting so much personal
information about themselves on the
Internet and the potential for ID theft,
while others had some good things to say.
Pickering library’s comments say it can
bring community and family together
easily, says Ms. Forsyth. Others suggested
educating users on the possible dangers
and learning to utilize Facebook as a
marketing device.
At the Manpower employment agency,
Pickering branch manager Kim Murray
says a recruiter uses her personal Facebook
account to advertise that she’s a direct hire
consultant and list positions she’s looking
to fill.
“It’s kind of a free way to advertise,” says
Ms. Murray.
“As far as Manpower’s concerned, we’re
not doing a lot with (facebook),” she adds.
“But I’ve heard it’s becoming more popular
with some recruiters.”
As Manpower is a large organization,
it has to be careful with privacy issues
surrounding the use of facebook, although
Ms. Murray isn’t sure if there are any and
what they could surround.
Unless a prospective employee gave them
permission to, or suggested they visit their
facebook page, it’s not something they
would typically do, she says. Manpower
has protocols in place for scouting
employees, which include receiving the
potential applicant’s permission to check
references.
She said the company does not use
facebook to screen potential candidates.
“Then it becomes more of a personal
judgement, you have to be careful not to
discriminate,” says Ms. Murray, and adds
getting a job should be based on ability
and nothing else.
“I know we’re not doing that (facebook
scanning) and I don’t see us doing that in
the future,” she adds.
Ms. Murray can see it becoming more
popular to recruiters networking and
looking for potential people.
For some, facebook is helping them
conduct better business.
Mark Holland, Ajax-Pickering MP, uses
the social network to better correspond
with his constituents.
He became involved with facebook
during the Liberal leadership campaign
when a number of people suggested
he should. He set up an account at the
beginning of March and has found it to be
“an incredibly useful tool.
“I use it all the time,” he says.
Websites can be static, but facebook
allows interaction and is extremely
personal, says Mr. Holland. He manages
the site himself and has somewhere around
1,000 friends of all ages, including students
he’s talked to at schools. Although 60 to 70
per cent of visitors are under 30, his oldest
“friend” is in their 70s.
Questions he receives include anything
from is there going to be an election to his
stance on the war in Iraq. Of the questions,
about a quarter are local.
While Mr. Holland posts a lot of his
personal life on his page – family trips,
places he’s visited - he’s also careful about
what he posts to prevent things from being
taken out of context.
“You do have to use common sense,” he
says, noting it’s the same as with anything
in public life.
Some things he’s posted have been
picked by the media. You have to be
aware that what you’re posting could be
generating news stories or be distributed
over the web very quickly, he says.
Mr. Holland says facebook has made
him a better MP, and adds it’s the way the
Web should be used in politics.
It does keep him busy though.
“Every week that goes by, it’s more
and more work,” he says. “But that
isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it’s a time
management thing.”
He spends about an hour and a half per
day posting and responding - less in the
summer.
Facebook banned
at Region of Durham
Too many hits made to the
popular social network site
DURHAM — Typing facebook in your
browser will get you nowhere if you’re
connected to the Internet at the Region of
Durham.
The Region blocked access to the popular
social network site earlier this year after
experiencing an unusually high number of
visits to it while monitoring Internet usage.
“We made the decision within our group
to block the site,” says Ron Blakey, the
Region’s director of technology services.
With 2,000 regional employees on
computers, even if each one spent 30
seconds visiting facebook, it would indicate
a lot of hits in monitoring.
Other than subscribing to a service that
provides a black list of inappropriate sites,
Mr. Blakey believes facebook is the only one
the Region has added to the list of blocked
sites.
“For the most part, people understand,”
says Mr. Blakey.
He hasn’t personally heard anyone
complain about the block, but has casually
heard that some people have.
“People understand what they’re at work
for,” says Mr. Blakey, and adds they don’t
expect to be given a computer for whatever
they want.
Robyn Qurrey, a Durham Region
Employment Network employee, knows
about the trouble playing on facebook at
work can bring. She knows a lot of people
who use the social network and have had it
banned at their workplace.
“There’s a lot of people who don’t abuse
it... but some people are on it all the time,”
says Ms. Qurrey.
“They chat all day and are not doing their
job,” she says.
Getting caught by their employers can be
embarrassing, cause the company to ban
the site, and leave them with a reputation
to restore.
Her advice to people looking for work
is once they find it, make sure they keep
facebook on their personal time. Playing
on it can be addictive and interfere with
job performance by taking people away
from doing what they’re paid to, said Ms.
Qurrey.

‘Steel Magnolias’ explores power of friendship
Pickering cast
member Mary
Delaney describes
play as ‘brilliant’
DURHAM — A story about the
enduring friendship of six women
hits the stage in Uxbridge this
month.
Steel Magnolias, a production of
OnStage Uxbridge, opened Thurs-
day, Nov. 15, at the Uxbridge Music
Hall. The play centres around Tru-
vy’s beauty parlor and the women
who gather there regularly.
One of the women, Shelby, is in
for a rough ride.
“(The play) begins the morning
of Shelby’s wedding and covers the
events over the next year. Although
the main story line involves Shel-
by, her mother and Shelby’s medi-
cal battles and the results of com-
plications when Shelby decides to
have a baby, the underlying friend-
ship of all six women is prominent
through the drama,” reads an On-
Stage Uxbridge press release. “A
long-standing favourite which is
delightful and insightful, this pro-
duction is one of the best dealing
with female relationships.”
The cast includes residents of
Uxbridge, Port Perry, Pickering
and Markham who “are remark-
able in their depiction of these
long-standing friends.”
One of them is Mary Delaney,
of Pickering, who’s appeared on
stage in Port Perry and Markham
in the last few years and is a found-
ing members of Pickering Museum
Village’s Backwoods Players. Two
of her favourite characters are the
wino from Cadenza’s production
of Little Shop of Horrors and Clara
in the Borelians’ Hay Fever, both in
Port Perry.
“I only want to do good stuff,
dialogue that has the ring of truth,
characters that are layered and
lively, stories that move me, that
make me laugh or cry,” she said.
“Steel Magnolias is brilliant. The
dialogue flows. The characters are
real and wonderful. The story is
rich, spicy and ultimately satisfy-
ing, like a good Louisiana gumbo.
“The cast for this production is
comprised of some of the finest
actors in the area, led by the inimi-
table Ruth Smith.”
Truvy is played by Lorraine
Chiusolo and Shelby by Annette
Stokes-Harris, both of Port Perry.
Smith directs the cast of women
and “brings them to life with the
insightfulness and touching heart-
felt reality that women can relate
to... Ruth brings with her years
of acting and directing knowledge
that is evident from the moment
the curtain rises on this produc-
tion,” according to the release.
Steel Magnolias also runs Nov.
16, 17, and 22 to 24 all at 8 p.m. A
3 p.m. matinee is offered Saturday,
Nov. 24.
Tickets are $15 and $17, avail-
able at Brockstreet Music, 43B
Brock St. in Uxbridge. For more

bridge.com.

Baby went BOOM in hilarious Dunbarton play
Audience in uproar
By Brendan Woodrow
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — Students who
participated in the fall play, ‘Baby
with the Bathwater’, had exceptional
success and ended each night with
a delightful, entertained audience.
The play was shown three nights,
from Nov. 13 to 15, in the Dunbar-
ton High School theatre, known as
Luke’s Layer.
With a cast of 12, the dedicat-
ed students rehearsed every day
after school over the course of two
months, deepening their under-
standing of theatre and the charac-
ters they portrayed.
The play centred around the idea
of a baby born into an abnormal
family, with two parents who are
uncertain of the baby’s sexuality.
Over the course of the child’s life,
he experiments with both lifestyles,
and eventually settles down into an
existence in which he is comfort-
able.
“You should have seen it,” stated
Richard Albin, a Grade 12 student
at Dunbarton, who played the role
of the grown up child.
There were various characters in
and out of the play, all of which re-
lated to the idea of raising children.
The students involved found it to
be a great experience, and learned
a thing or two about the morals
within the story.
“I learned that I am not so crazy
after all, and not to force men to
wear women’s clothing,” said Katie
Quinnell, who performed the part
of the rambunctious British nanny.
The cast and crew put on a dress
rehearsal the day before opening
night, inviting English and drama
classes throughout each grade level.
The enthusiasm of their audience
left the group of actors full of confi-
dence for the big night.
“I thought the play was hilarious!
Each character was comedic and
unique in their own way, and that
brought out the laughter,” explained
Mackenzie Stuart, a Grade 12 stu-
dent who viewed the play with his
English class.
The director of the play, Gary
Hammond, was tremendously
impressed with the work from his
cast.
“I am very proud of this group of
students. They have taken a chal-
lenging script and found the perfect
balance between irreverent hu-
mour and real world sentimentality.
That’s a hard balance to achieve,” he
stated shortly after the performance
had ended on opening night.
Dunbarton High School is par-
ticularly well known for its dramatic
productions, and this certainly isn’t
the end of the student performanc-
es this school year. Later this year,
students will have the opportunity
to audition for a play to compete in
the Sears Drama Festival, an event
that attracts high schools and stu-
dents from across Ontario.
‘I am very proud of this group of students. They have taken
a challenging script and found the perfect balance between
irreverent humour and real world sentimentality. That’s a hard
balance to achieve.’

Lady Cougars queens of the court
Notre Dame senior
girls win LOSSA
‘AAAA’ basketball title
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — After coming as close as
a team could come to a league title
last year, the Notre Dame Catholic
Secondary School Lady Cougars se-
nior girls’ basketball team had one,
singular goal this season: Win the
LOSSA crown.
Locked in a fourth-quarter battle
with the Father Leo Austin Catho-
lic Secondary School Wildcats, the
Lady Cougars re-established their
strong post game in the nick of time
to record a 50-33 victory in the Lake
Ontario Secondary School Athletics
(LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ final Wednesday.
The LOSSA title was sweet in
many ways for the Lady Cougars,
which earned a measure of redemp-
tion after losing to the three-time
LOSSA champion Sinclair Celtics in
overtime in the 2006 title game. The
victory also kept Notre Dame’s in-
credible undefeated league season
intact, ending it at a perfect 13-0.
“We’re undefeated in LOSSA, and
now we want to play against the
best in the province,” declared Lady
Cougars’ coach Rose Booker of the
team’s next challenge of represent-
ing Durham Region at the upcoming
provincials in Windsor.
But, top-seeded Notre Dame’s
much sought-after LOSSA crown
didn’t come easy. And, it didn’t come
without a feisty effort by the second-
seeded Austin Wildcats, which put
the Lady Cougars on notice they’d
have to scratch and claw for every-
thing they got in the tough, physical
affair in front of a large and vocal
crowd at Sinclair Secondary School.
Down 39-24 after three quarters,
Austin coach Heather Lafontaine
rallied the troops in the huddle be-
fore the start of the final stanza.
“I just said shoot the ball; don’t
think about it, just shoot. If it goes in
great, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” explains
Lafontaine. “Sometimes they’re a
little bit tentative, right. They don’t
want to miss. Sometimes you’ve got
to say, ‘I’m putting this up and it’s
going in’.”
The Wildcats responded in kind
by hitting a variety of shots, includ-
ing a quarter-opening three-pointer
by Kate Mowat, to go on a 9-0 run
to cut a 15-point deficit at the begin-
ning of the stanza down to six.
With the momentum clearly sid-
ing with the Wildcats, Booker called
a time-out to calm down her clearly
rattled players and attempt to re-
verse the trend. During the break,
she notes, the pep talk was centred
around getting back to basics.
“Once we settled down and got
the ball inside things went back in
our favour again,” says Booker, not-
ing her players were also beginning
to show some signs of nervousness
during Austin’s fourth-quarter push,
something that didn’t come into play
in league play this season.
The time-out proved just the tonic
for the Lady Cougars.
Starting centre Nicholle McKenzie
returned to the court after sitting
down earlier with three fouls. And,
Notre Dame was off and running
from that point, going on an 11-0
run the rest of the way. McKenzie
scored seven consecutive points for
the Lady Cougars late in the quarter,
including a good second effort to get
a steal and then retrieve her own re-
bound, which resulted in the basket
and the foul. She followed that with
a coast-to-coast effort after an Austin
turnover for a 47-33 lead with 3:01
remaining.
Booker was complimentary of
Austin, which, despite trailing by 16
points (29-13) at the half, returned
with a vengeance in the second half
to throw a scare into Notre Dame
“You know what, they really played
well. I give them full credit. They
double teamed Rhea (Pascal) every
shot. They came off a tough, tough
semifinal game against Pickering
and we hadn’t had a tough game in
a while.”
Despite being “overmatched” in
the front court by McKenzie and Pas-
cal, who was a force on the boards,
Lafontaine praised her Wildcats for
keeping their focus firmly on making
life miserable for the Lady Cougars
in the paint from the opening tip.
“Our goal was to keep those short
shots to a minimum. We were will-
ing to give them the outside shot, if
they made them they made them,
and if they didn’t it was better for us.
We had more of a defensive focus
than an offensive focus.”
McKenzie and point guard Catha-
rine Bougoulias led the way for the
Lady Cougars with 12 point apiece;
most of Bougoulias’s points came in
the first half, including three, three-
point field goals. Lindsay Panchan
and Pascal also hit double figures
with 11 and 10, points, respectively.
Charlotte Clarke registered 14
points to lead the Wildcats.

to post a 50-33 victory.

got the ball inside things went
back in our favour again.’

Pumas take fifth-set
tie-breaker over Sinclair to
capture LOSSA ‘AAAA’ title
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — After several years of trying,
the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas are
at the top of the heap in Durham Region vol-
leyball.
But, that coveted Lake Ontario Secondary
School (LOSSA) title didn’t come without a
pitched court battle with the Sinclair Sec-
ondary School Celtics at the senior boys’
‘AAAA’ volleyball championships hosted at
Anderson Collegiate in Whitby on Wednes-
day night.
The Celtics took the Pumas to a fifth and
final set in the best-of-five affair before suc-
cumbing in a controversial deciding set. In
the end, the Pickering school captured a 3-2
victory (18-25, 26-24, 25-23, 18-25, 15-10)
over the Whitby school in a wildly entertain-
ing championship played in front of a large
crowd that cheered from the opening point
until the last of the exciting five-set match.
Quality play on both sides of the net be-
tween two evenly matched teams was the
order of the day. The games had it all -- from
numerous long rallies to some controversy
that erupted in the fifth set.
With Pine Ridge leading in the tie-breaking
set, an extra long rally ensued, with Sinclair
believing they had won the point as a Pumas’
player had allegedly made an illegal double
hit on the ball. The Celtics, however, were
overruled by the game official, who awarded
the point to Pine Ridge. Discussions ensued
for several minutes and, eventually, the of-
ficial ejected a Celtics’ player from the game.
Celtics’ coach Luanne Fockler noted the
disputed call had a huge effect on the out-
come of the fifth and final set as it took the
focus away from the task at hand -- winning
the deciding set.
“It definitely had a big impact on the game,”
says Fockler. “Unfortunately, the player in
question is a key player for us. It definitely got
the guys off track. That point was a huge point
in the game. It could have been 6-4, instead of
7-3. In a game going to 15, it was big.
“Our guys have played together for four
years and for a call like that to decide the
game is disappointing for the guys.”
An ecstatic Pine Ridge coach Andrew Lue
notes his team’s been so close in previous
years only to lose out. This volleyball cam-
paign, however, the players finally put it all
together.
“We played with a lot of heart and I’m
very proud of them,” says Lue. “Five games
in a LOSSA final -- you don’t want anything
else. As a coach you want three sets and out,
but I think everyone was happy with the way
things turned out. It’s been a long time for
Pine Ridge in a team sport.”
Lue praised the work of Sinclair in the close
championship as the Celtics won the first
set and led most of way through the second
set. In fact, Sinclair led 24-23 in the second
set only to let the Pumas rally for three con-
secutive points to capture the set and tie the
match.
“Their kids played an awesome game. They
really wanted it,” says Lue of Sinclair.
He says the Pumas ability to pass the ball
effectively played a key role in the outcome.
“We got our passing down. Once we got
our passing down we were able to take ad-
vantage of every point we could get,” he says.
The loss, says Fockler, was a big disappoint-
ment for her players in an otherwise solid vol-
leyball campaign, including an undefeated
LOSSA league season and three tournament
championships. The Celtics came into the
LOSSA final as the decided favourites, having
beaten Pine Ridge in tournament play.
The Celtics, however, may not have to wait
long for a re-match as both teams have earned
berths in the upcoming Ontario Federation of
School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) cham-
pionships in Mississauga.
Craig Dixon was Pine Ridge’s MVP of the
championship; Chris Parfitt took the award
for Sinclair.
Pumas team members are RJ Allen, James
Balsdon, Adam Corless, Craig Dixon, Jermain
Duke, Eric Fox, Matt Henchey, Jamal Iaane,
Matt Isaacs, Brent McFarlane, Dan Popovic,
Greg Sheremeta and Qassim Wahab.
Lindsay Norwood also coaches the Pumas.
