While there is room on the site at Rossland Road and Garden Street in north Whitby to expand the building onto the south east corner, “that’d be a ways off.” “We’d have to rent space again,” Mr. Anderson said. “That’s very similar to what other municipalities do when they’re full.” The news came as a shock to Whit- by Mayor Marcel Brunelle, who came up with the Regional headquarters idea and was its biggest proponent. “There’s been a misrepresentation,” he said. “That certainly wasn’t on the table. I do think it was in the back of everybody’s mind, but nobody would admit it.” In the business case for the original $67.7-million building, there were no allowances made for having to rent out additional space beyond some existing satellite offices, said Finance Commissioner Jim Clapp. But the document did factor in moving into an addition on the new building in 2007. The biggest selling point in con- structing the new headquarters was the $14- to $121-million savings over a 20- to 30-year period.

Local union says provincial teachers’ deal only a starting point By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Framework or not, deals between the public school board and its teachers by the provin- cially-imposed June 1 deadline seem downright dicey. On Monday, the Province an- nounced it had reached an agreement with the Ontario Secondary School Te achers’ Federation that would see members receive the same 10.6 per cent, cumulative pay increase over four years announced last month for public elementary teachers. Howev- er Durham union presidents don’t consider those salary levels as set in stone, with Peter Tumey, the Durham OSSTF president, bluntly stating he expects the Durham District School Board to kick in money above and be- yond what the Province is providing. That position baffles Sally Mc- Ilveen, the board’s employee ser- vices superintendent, who said she was “perplexed” since the provincial teacher unions have signed off on the deal. She noted that all ETFO and OSSTF locals in Ontario are in take- over mode, meaning the provincial unions are in charge of bargaining at the district level. “They’ve got to start to commu- nicate with their local bargaining teams,” she said. “This should be a non-issue.” Ms. McIlveen says the ministry has provided a framework and told boards to stick to it. The Province says the agreement with the OSSTF means roughly 1,300 more teachers in high schools by 2008 to support struggling students. But as in the elementary deal, those new positions, including an estimated 45 in Durham this coming school year, are contingent upon boards reaching contract agreements with local teach- ers by June 1 that include pay hikes within the framework. Mr. Tumey has complained in the past about Education Minister Gerard Kennedy’s involvement in the local bargaining process. Setting a salary ceiling has done nothing to allay his concerns. “I’m going to look at that ceiling as a basement,” he said. “That’s the level of intrusion we find problematic.” Mr. Tumey says a recent agreement between York teachers and its school board involved funding beyond the provincial money. He notes the Dur- ham board recently received, by its own description, a windfall of cash for school renewal. If the board has been able to meet its needs in the past without the extra money, that should free up dollars to go outside the pro- vincial framework for teacher salaries, Mr. Tumey says, adding, “we think our expectations can easily be met by the Budget finalized, $14 million earmarked for capital projects By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Kevin Ashe believes Pickering went too far with its 2005 budget. “I was supportive of what we were doing as a committee in terms of mov- ing up high-priority items and buying down the increase,” said the Ward 1 City Councillor. “I just think we went a little too far, in the tune of $500,000 too far.” Despite Coun. Ashe’s objections, Pickering council did pass the 2005 budget Monday evening. It included a 5.5 per cent tax hike for residents and many capital projects. One of the ways the City was able to achieve an additional $1 million in spending and decrease the rec- ommended staff increase of 6.7 per cent to 5.5 was by using money it re- ceived in a legal settlement. (The City received $2.5 million and removed some agricultural easements from properties in the Duffins Rouge Agri- cultural Preserve). “The money we got from the set- tlement is diminished by $1.4 mil- lion and I think that’s too much,” Coun. Ashe said. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said if money stays in reserves it just stays in the bank until it’s spent next year or the year after. “There are a number of capital proj- ects that we could take out and say we’re going to do them next year,” he said. “If we do hold off on some proj- ects what occurs is we can’t do those Region staff work on borrowed time Pickering teachers want a better deal Ta x es going up another $49 for P ickering residents ✦ See Durham, Page A4 ✦ See Capital, Page A2 ✦ See Headquarters, Page A4 PICKERING — A Pickering man is dead after an early-morning crash at a major intersection. Durham Regional Police respond- ed to a report of an accident at the intersection of Whites and Kings- ton roads around 4:20 a.m. Saturday. Upon arrival, they found two heavily damaged vehicles, one in the inter- section and the other resting against a utility pole at the southeast corner, police said. A man who had been ejected from one of the vehicles lay on the grass not far from the car. He was pro- nounced dead soon after police ar- rived. Each of the cars carried two people; three were treated for minor injuries. Dead is 32-year-old Matthew Smith, of Memory Lane in Pickering. Police said the accident involved an eastbound Ford Focus that ap- pears to have been hit broadside by a southbound Chevrolet Cavalier. The traffic management unit was called to the scene and closed the in- tersection to traffic for several hours. Police are still seeking witnesses; anyone with information is asked to call 905-683-9100, ext. 5231, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Pickering man dies in crash Ke vin Ashe projects until summer and we have trouble completing them by fall.” Other councillors were pleased with the final budget. “I was bound and determined to see that rate cut substantially and we have achieved that,” said Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson. He pointed out major projects such as the pedestrian bridge and seniors’ centre addition, as well as road, sidewalk and park projects. “We’ve done all of that and we’ve come in at 5.5 per cent,” he said. That means a $49.40 increase for a home assessed at $250,000. “Which in today’s day and age is not con- sidered to be unrea- sonable in my opinion,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. He pointed out spending on capital projects has increased from just under $10 million last year to $14 million this year. “Every one of those projects is a good project... They are invest- ment in roads, in parks; an investment in an expansion on our seniors centre and an investment in our museum,” he said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean also defended the budget. “(There) are things that some people might say are unnecessary, but I disagree,” he said. “These are projects that are all required to improve the quality of life for everyone across the board.” Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson reflected on his years on council where zero- per cent increases were the norm. “As I look back on it now, it maybe wasn’t the right thing to do,” he said, adding he be- lieves this is an increase that is acceptable to the public. “No one likes to see tax increases, but every once in a while you have to fix the house and paint the barn and this budget is more maintenance than new projects,” he said.

Cosmo Jacobson, formerly of Pickering, attempted to plead to a lesser charge when he was arraigned on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder Monday morning at the Whitby courthouse. The 29-year-old Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, also pleaded guilty to a num- ber of crimes connected to a home invasion robbery that occurred in Pickering in June of 2000. Standing beside his lawyer in Superior Court Monday, he replied when asked how he pleaded to the main charge: “Not guilty as charged,” Mr. Jacobson said, “but guilty of manslaughter.” He also pleaded not guilty of conspiring to kill Mr. Jones in early 2001. The plea to manslaughter was rejected by prosecutor Paul Murray, who told Justice Donald Ferguson that the Crown intends to proceed with its case on the murder charge. The Crown alleges Mr. Jacobson is respon- sible for the slaying of Mr. Jones, a security guard who was gunned down as he returned to his family’s home on Twilley Lane on the night of Feb. 4, 2001. Te stimony is slated to begin early next week. It is expected the trial will run until the end of June.

The scenarios were imaginary, but the participants very real as Durham Catholic District School Board stu- dents from across the region took part in the Eight Annual Think Bowl com- petition in Whitby recently. The event presents teams of elementary students, divided into junior- and intermedi- ate-level squads, with a scenario on competition day. Their challenge is to create a dramatic stage presentation for a group of judges, with convincing arguments one way or another, after working out a solution on paper. “They have to make their own props when they arrive; they have a list of supplies,” notes teacher Debbie Lukow, who with colleague Sandy Coscarella chairs the event. She says music, dancing and an ele- ment of comedy go a long way toward impressing the judges. In the junior scenario, Ms. Lukow says most of the teams opted for the playground equipment, but argued that the area should be fenced and only available at certain hours. Inter- mediate teams were evenly split on keeping the idol show. In the junior contest, for students in Grade 4 to 6, the team from John XXIII Catholic School in Oshawa emerged on top, followed by the Pickering team from St. Elizabeth Seton and Port Per- ry’s G ood Shepherd Catholic School team. St. Catherine of Sienna Catholic School students from Ajax took the Grade 7/8 event, while St. Wilfrid and St. John Bosco Catholic school stu- dents, from Pickering and Oshawa, re- spectively, rounded out the top three finishers. Thirty-four school teams participat- ed in this year’s event.

Wise Ajax and Pickering youth can keep a healthy outlook Metroland Volunteers deliver sobering message By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — In public schools across the province, kids are beginning to think about their futures. Junior Achievement of Eastern On- tario and its Economics of Staying in School (ESIS) program made April ESIS Month. Grade 8 classes invited Junior Achievement volunteers into classrooms to deliver the one-day pro- gram, which is designed to prepare students for life after school and the sometimes harsh realities that await. “We teach these children about the constraints of living on your own,” said Kathleen Hutton, director of programs for Junior Achievement of Eastern On- tario. “They create a budget of all these things that they feel are necessities, their cellphones, pagers, Internet ac- cess. Then we offer them a minimum wage job, because the scenario is that they’ve dropped out of school. Here’s your minimum wage job, earning $840 a month, and they’ve created a budget of $7,000 a month. How are we going to balance it?” The program is split into four cat- egories. ‘Success’ is first, where the students explore their own ideas on what success is, and describe their own successful day. Then there’s ‘in- dependence,’ where students create their own budget and are exposed to every-day expenses like utilities and groceries. ‘Opportunity’ gives kids the chance to create their resume, and to role play a job interview. The program wraps up with ‘futures’, where they talk about life in college and university, as well as newer options in trades and ap- prenticeships. Reaction has been remarkably pos- itive, and the demand for the pro- gram high. Offered in the Durham and Kawartha districts, the program reached more than 11,500 students in April, with a few sessions spilling over into May. Sue Swan, a Grade 8 teacher at Frenchman’s Bay Public School in Pickering, finds the program very help- ful. “It hits home the message of how im- portant education is,” said Ms. Swan. Ms. Hutton agrees. “The emphasis on our program is that learning is a lifelong journey,” she said. “If you can do it right the first time, stay in school, get a good education and have a won- derful, successful life.” ESIS helps students find the right balance in post-school life Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Kirby Paterson, left, a Grade 8 student at Frenchman’s Bay Public School, works on a household budget with Carol Ann Kelley of Bell Canada Operations.

Local chambers of commerce and rate pay- ers associations held a letter cam- paign that saw more than 1,500 peo- ple write about their opposition to the move. “This plan has been rushed and there’s been poor decision making from the very beginning, and now it’s coming back to haunt,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “It (reaching ca- pacity in 2007) might not be a surprise to Roger, but it’s a surprise to me and I’m assuming to a great number of people on Regional council and 99.99 per cent of residents.” After council guaranteed Durham residents that the building would not exceed $67.7 mil- lion, a $1.9-mil- lion new phone system was added, along with the $14.5- million parking garage, and now a possible $2.7 million addition onto the garage, for a grand total of $86.8 million. Now it looks like even more costs will be added as the Region grows and more space is needed. Some residents are firing back in letters to the editor, calling on council to “stop the insanity.” “I would much rather spend the extra monies... on an investigation on the credibility and responsibility of our elected and un-elected Regional representatives,” said Les Brindley of Whitby. “Those responsible should be held accountable and they should pay the price.” The issue will be debated at today’s council meeting.

And that would mean that they would need to bargain with us locally.” Mr. Tumey says the board and OSSTF have been bargaining for about a year and have addressed many of the smaller issues in a new contract. The big-ticket items of salary and ben- efits are basically all that remain, he says. While Mr. Tumey describes the Province’s June 1 deadline as “a false deadline,” the board and teachers are to meet again on May 6 and 16, dates he terms “pretty damn important” if a deal is to be reached by then. As of Monday, he says the local union will pink list the board, an advi- sory telling public high school teach- ers outside of Durham not to accept full-time positions here. Teachers who violate it can be fined or other- wise penalized by the union. Meanwhile, Durham ETFO presi- dent Rachel Gencey says last week’s bargaining session with the board resulted in “little progress” towards reaching a deal. She has said the pro- vincial salary framework represents “the worst we can do” in Durham. The two sides have set bargaining dates of May 5, 9, 12 and 13. DURHAM — It’s a new era of bargaining between teachers and the Ontario government. On April 14 and May 2, the Prov- ince announced it had reached agree- ments with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), respectively. The deals produced unprecedented bar- gaining frameworks, covering salary and workload issues, to be applied to contract talks between individual school boards and teacher union lo- cals. The government is offering to pump 1,300 new specialist teachers at both the elementary and second- ary level into the system by 2008. In the first year, it would mean roughly 45 new high school and 33 more el- ementary teachers in Durham public schools. The Province says the new elementary teachers would teach literacy, numeracy, physical education and the arts, while their peers at the secondary level would focus on lower- ing the drop-out and raising the gradu- ation rates. Elementary teachers are also to receive 200 minutes of preparation time per week by 2008 and up to $500 in training expenses next year. In return, the government is ask- ing both panels to agree by June 1 to four-year contracts with local school boards and no more than a 10.6 per cent cumulative pay increase. If the scenarios play out, the el- ementary deal would cost the govern- ment $960.4 million and the secondary deal $750 million over the four years. Steve Parish ✦ Headquarters from page A1 Four-year deals would cost $1.7 billion ✦ Durham from page A1 Durham board makes pink list He adquarters plan was ‘rushed, poor decisions’ Fundraisers have fun all night long for good cause DURHAM — More than 1,500 peo- ple from across Durham are expected to spend the night at Oshawa Civic Fields for the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life. “Last year we raised $339,000 and this year we want to do much big- ger and better,” said Marnie Salonius, fundraising coordinator for the Dur- ham chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. Set to take place overnight from June 3 to June 4, the event will feature teams of 10 spending the night in a tent vil- lage set up at the Civic fields, taking turns walking around the track to raise money for cancer research. The relay starts at 7 p.m., with a sur- vivor’s victory lap in which cancer sur- vivors in attendance walk a lap around the track. After that, the track fills with supporters, walking or jogging, all the way through to 7 a.m. As night falls, candles, or luminaries, light the way around the track. Each lu- minary is bought in memory of some- one who died of cancer, or in honour of someone who survived. Luminaries can be purchased at any TD Canada Trust branch in Durham for $5. Each member of a team pays $10 to register and then must raise $100 in pledges to participate, with prizes available for those who raise the most. The Oshawa relay is the first of 54 relays in Ontario this year, including one in Uxbridge at Mill Run Golf Club on June 10 and 11. To register a team, join a team, pledge a walker or volunteer, visit www.cancer.ca. Night light honours cancer victims PICKERING — The City’s politi- cians recognized National Day of Mourning yesterday with a ceremony at the Civic Complex. Mayor Dave Ryan and members of council honoured workers killed or injured in the workplace with a special ceremony and a moment of silence. “The City of Pickering is committed to protecting the occupational health and safety of all of its employees,“ said Mayor Ryan in a release. “This day provides us with an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to prevent- ing needless occupational injuries, ill- nesses and deaths while also promot- ing worker well-being.” In 1984, the Canadian Labour Con- gress executive council declared April 28 as Canada’s Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. Recognized by the provincial and fed- eral governments and in more than 70 countries worldwide, the day pro- vides the opportunity to gather and mourn for workers who have lost their lives in the workplace or continue to suffer from occupational injuries and disease.

Pickering honours workers hurt or killed on the job By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering had no legal right to remove the agricultural ease- ments from the Duffins Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve, says an environmental lawyer. David Estrin, one of Canada’s top environmental lawyers, was commis- sioned by Ontario Nature (also known as the Federation of Ontario Naturalists) to provide a legal opinion on the City’s Feb. 28 decision to convert agricultural easements on some of the properties in the preserve to inhibiting orders. “By terminating the easements, the City acted illegally, and its actions are a legal nullity,” wrote Mr. Estrin. He goes on to give five reasons. Linda Pim, director of conservation and science with Ontario Nature, said the legal opinion was commissioned for two reasons. “We were concerned about the ac- tions of the City of Pickering of can- celling some of the easements on land in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve,” she said. “We felt it may have serious repercussions for the greenbelt and for other Ontarians who currently have conservation easements.” The preserve has been included in the Province’s Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt, but that legislation is to be reviewed in 10 years so it doesn’t offer the same pro- tection as easements. The City has asked for the southern portion of the preserve to be removed from the greenbelt, as well a developer who owns land in the area has initiated legal action against the Province to have it removed. Mayor Dave Ryan is confident the City was legally allowed to remove the ease- ments. “Our legal opinion differs and that’s where that stands,” he said. Mayor Ryan doesn’t believe the City’s actions set any sort of standard when it comes to easements. “What we’re doing in Pickering isn’t at all a precedence, it is a symptom of the problem the Province has created,” he said. In the document, Mr. Estrin also lays out remedies to correct Pickering’s ac- tions, one being that those parties who signed the memorandum of under- standing (MOU) when the land was sold in 1999 could initiate legal action. He says if either the Region of Durham or the Ontario Realty Corporation are not prepared to take legal action, the Green Door Alliance or the Whitevale Resi- dents Association (WRA) could. Ms. Pim would like to see the Province or the Region take on that task. “(They are) in a far better position to initiate legal action against the City of Pickering then a non-profit conservation group,” she said. Karen Ras, ORC spokeswoman, said the government is still deciding what ac- tion, if any, it will take. Sandy Rider, president of the WRA, said initiating legal action hadn’t been discussed. “I am encouraged that we can do that,” she said. Ms. Rider signed the MOU as a citizen on behalf of the association since it is not incorporated. “A s a signatory I know what the intent was, it was crystal clear,” she said, adding the intent was to save the land as agricul- tural. Brian Buckles, a member of the Green Door Alliance, said he would like to see the Province pursue the matter. “The Province owes it to the public to clear the air here — does its lawyers agree with Estrin?” he wondered. He found the opinion interesting. “It raises a lot of questions. Certainly all along we felt Pickering’s release of the easements was totally inappropriate and Estrin’s conclusions back that up in spades,” he said.

[ Golf ] Annual tourney at Annandale raises funds for cancer fight AJAX — The third annual fund- raising Jimmy Walker/Dennis Ardagh Golf Tournament takes to the links later this month. In memory of two local residents who succumbed to cancer, the event is at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club Saturday, May 28. Walker was a longtime minor hockey and football official in Durham Region. Ardagh was a friend of Walk- er’s and a local businessman. The tournament is in need of sponsorship, either for prizes, silent auction items, gifts for the loot bags or hole sponsorships. Cost to sponsor a hole is $100. This year, tournament organizers have earmarked some of the money raised to two local women who’ll be taking part in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer event. They need to raise $2,000 apiece and organizers have committed $2,000. Also, once again this year, funds will be used to sponsor children who can’t afford to play sports in Durham Region. Cost to play is $100, which includes a golf cart, hot and cold buffet dinner, and prizes.

Stephen Lopez A tale of two baseball towns Annual Mayors’ Cup challenge between Ajax and Whitby marks 25th anniversary this weekend By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Longtime Ajax Spar- tans rep coach Rick Strom has been in- volved in most editions of the Mayors’ Cup series of minor baseball games be- tween Ajax and Whitby over the years. By his count, Strom has coached 25 years with the Spartans and has been on the bench for 15 of the 25 years of the annual Mayors’ Cup, a beginning- of-the-season challenge between rep teams in the Ajax Spartans Minor Base- ball Association and its counterparts in the Whitby Minor Baseball Association that originated in 1980. By his own admission, he doesn’t remember many of the wins — he be- lieves his teams have posted a .500 re- cord in Mayors’ Cup competition over the years — but he does remember one of the losses. Strom recalls coaching the Ajax rookie ball team when that age group was in its infancy a decade or so ago. At that particular Mayors’ Cup, the Whitby rookie ball squad had just started and the coaches were somewhat unfamiliar with the game, which uses a pitching machine to deliver the ball to the plate. Being a sportsman, Strom offered up some tips to his opposition. “I went and explained some of the strategies (to the opposing Whitby coach) and it backfired on me,” says Strom, with a chuckle. “After a few in- nings once they saw what we were doing they put it into use and they beat us.” Strom and his longtime coaching partner, Greg Beckett, preside over the Ajax Spartans major peewee ‘AAA’ squad. Overall, there are 22 teams par- ticipating in this year’s 25th anniversa- ry celebration between the two towns May 6 and 7. As in past years, the baseball as- sociation that wins the most number of games will be awarded the coveted Mayors’ Cup trophy. This year, in addition to the highly competitive games, there are a number of special events planned and a num- ber of special guests who’ll be attend- ing. Friday’s opening ceremonies kick off at Whitby’s Iroquois Park diamonds with the opening ceremonies at 6:30 p.m. All players are piped onto the field of play by local volunteer pipers. Politi- cians and former major league baseball players Nigel Wilson and Rob Butler will be in attendance. The midget tier 1 game follows at 7:30 p.m. Something special has been added for the players with the inclusion of a ‘Hit, Run and Throw’ competition at the Ajax Sportsplex diamonds in north Ajax at Audley and Taunton roads. There will be prizes awarded to the top competitors in each division. For the midget players, there is a home-run derby. Wilson recalls being part of a number of Mayors’ Cup games. After playing his minor ball exclusively for the Spartans, he launched a major league career that featured stops in Toronto, Florida, Cleveland and Cincinnati before head- ing to Japan to play professional ball. Now retired, he has stayed in the game by opening an indoor baseball facility in Ajax. “The weather’s starting to get nice, baseball’s on TV, everyone is getting the fever, what better way to start the season than against Whitby,” says Wil- son. Most of all, Wilson recalls the ri- valry that surrounded the Mayors’ Cup games. “You always want to beat Whitby. When those two teams are playing there’s no messing around — the play- ers, the coaches, the parents — it’s all business. It’s always been like that.” By his estimation, Wilson says he’s played in five or six editions of the May- ors’ Cup and can recall winning at least four times during his minor baseball days in the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s. Current Spartans major bantam player Kyle Noble will compete in his sixth Mayors’ Cup game this weekend. “It’s a lot of fun. I enjoy the May- ors’ Cup because of playing the Whitby teams,” says the Spartans’ right fielder, adding that his teams have won their last two Cup outings after a dry spell for several years before that. This year’s major bantam team, ex- plains Noble, has all the weapons at its disposal, including solid hitting and fielding to go along with a deep and tal- ented pitching staff. With that in mind, he believes they can beat Whitby in the final game of the cup, on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Ajax Sportsplex. “I feel we’re ready for Saturday,” says Noble, 15, a Grade 9 student at Ajax High School. The Spartans’ major bantam team was formed in the winter, and prac- tised at Wilson and Butler’s Home Run Academy. They played their first ex- hibition game against the Ajax minor bantam reps last weekend, with the major bantams posting the win. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo The traditional Mayors’ Cup slate of games with Whitby has resonated with players and coaches alike over the years. This weekend, the slate of games between the Ajax Spartans and Whitby rep baseball teams will mark its 25th anniversary.

Lots of special events surrounding Cup play By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The newest residents of the Rock pile helped the senior ‘B’ lacrosse team salvage a split of games during the opening weekend of play. The Rock opened the Ontario La- crosse Association 2005 regular sea- son on the road, suffering an 11-8 loss at the hands of the host Kitchener-Wa- terloo Kodiaks Saturday night. Back for their home opener at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex on Sunday evening against the Ennismore Sham- rocks, the Rock posted a 7-5 victory. Head coach Paul St. John will take a split to open the season. “I’m very happy with a 1-1 start. We started 0-4 last year. We’ve never won our season opener and we didn’t this year, but at least we’re back to even. If we can get some consistency by the third or fourth game, I think we can do very well this season,” he notes. The Rock’s .500 start can be attrib- uted, in large part, to the work of the team’s rookie corps which, says St. John, proved it belonged in the league with its inspired work. He pointed to Todd Hollinshead, who played for the Toronto Beach- es junior A’s last year, scoring a goal against the Kodiaks. Hollinshead also tallied Sunday. “He had a really solid game,” says St. John in assessing Hollinshead’s effort against Kitchener- Waterloo. “He scored a nice goal and hustled all night.” Although he didn’t have a point in the two games, Nick Black, formerly of the Halton Hills junior B’s, made his physical presence felt. “He’s a lanky guy, but he hits hard. He laid a couple of hits on guys that they’ll remember for a while,” says St. John, adding Aaron Binstock and Dan Ackerman, both of the Markham junior B’s last year, also had solid out- ings. Binstock scored against Kitch- ener-Waterloo and Ackerman adding an assist in the same game. Rock goaltender Jay Preece was solid in both games. Preece — a backup to To ronto Rock’s Bob Watson this year — assumed the stater’s role with the Ajax-Pickering squad after Mike Miron elected to sign on with the Major Se- ries’ Barrie Lakeshores this season. “He’s been phenomenal,” says St. John. “He really deserved the chance to be our number-one guy. He was great on Saturday, but he was superb last night (Sunday). He’s proving that he can be a big-time goalie in our league.” St. John, however, chided the Rock veterans for being somewhat unprepared. This year’s team is al- most entirely constructed of return- ing players, including team captain Jim Veltman who wasn’t in the lineup for either weekend game, as he’s still involved with the National Lacrosse League’s Toronto Rock, which is on the cusp of a league championship. “The veterans have started slowly. We expected more from them. Maybe they took things a little lightly. A few of them are a little out of shape,” says St. John. St. John says Veltman is expected to return to the Ajax-Pickering ros- ter in late May. Although he didn’t play, Veltman attended both games and spoke to the players between the second and third periods of the Ennis- more game.

Ajax Severe injury doesn’t keep Ajax teen from soccer scholarship Dominic Chapman headed to the University of Vermont this fall By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Dominic Chapman’s soc- cer life flashed before his eyes last November. Playing the Chicago Magic in the semifinal game of the North Ameri- can championship in Orlando, Florida, the Ajax teen recalls a fluke play that turned into a severe, season-ending injury. “It was five minutes into the game. I went to block a shot, the guy kicked the ball and my foot got stuck in the grass. It was a once-in-a-lifetime oc- currence,” says Chapman, who was playing with the Under-17 Toronto Ju- nior Lynx youth soccer team of the elite U.S.-based Super Y League. The centre-midfielder immediately fell to the pitch with what was later learned to be broken tibia and fibula bones in his leg. Several weeks ear- lier, the 17-year-old had paid an of- ficial visit to the University of Vermont where he hoped to start his collegiate career with the Catamounts of Burling- ton. A million thoughts ran through his mind while laying in agony on the ground, including whether his injury would threaten his scholarship chanc- es or perhaps his entire soccer career. But, in the next instant, he received some unexpected assurance that he and his soccer scholarship aspirations would be OK. “I didn’t sign anything (with the Uni- versity of Vermont). We just had a ver- bal agreement. When I broke my leg, (Vermont head coach) Jesse Cormier came out on the field and reassured me. He told me, ‘Everything will be OK, Dominic; don’t worry about it’.” That gesture, more than anything, galvanized Chapman’s resolve to com- pletely heal and devote his heart and soul to the University of Vermont soc- cer program. “He could have said, ‘Sorry about your bad luck’, but he made an agree- ment with me and I made an agree- ment with him and he stood by his words. “One of the most important things is relating to your coach. I asked whether I could see myself playing for him for four years. Coach Tom (Croft, head coach of Junior Lynx) and him are re- ally alike.” Chapman was one of several Dur- ham teens with the Toronto Junior Lynx soccer team who’ll be headed stateside in September to begin soc- cer programs at various U.S. institu- tions. The players were feted with a ceremony and press conference at the Ajax Soccer Club clubhouse on Satur- day morning, attended by Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and several members of town council, along with Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs. In addition to Chapman, other Dur- ham players from the Junior Lynx leav- ing for the U.S. on soccer scholarships are: • John Jonke, of Pickering, who’ll attend the University of Louisville in Kentucky; • Kayo Emojong, of Whitby, who’s headed to the New Jersey Institute of Te chnology; • Scott Rietze, of Bowmanville, who’ll also attend NJIT and play for the High- landers; • Paul Butchard, of Oshawa, who’ll join Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee, and; • Lyall Menzies, of Uxbridge and formerly of Scotland, who’s attending Grand View College in Des Moines, Iowa. Junior Lynx head coach Tom Croft notes having six Durham players, as well as six players from other GTA towns sign letters of intent to play for U.S. colleges and universities, is un- precedented and shows the calibre of play in the area. Croft says the Junior Lynx’s forma- tion, in large part, allowed top GTA players to be seen and scouted by U.S. college recruiters. Judging by their re- sponse, the bold move proved success- ful. “It allowed us to take the boys to the coaches instead of the coaches coming to the boys. That kind of ex- posure, you couldn’t buy here. But, the training they got here in Ajax, that was the foundation,” says Croft who, a year earlier, was the head coach of the Ajax Gunners, which included the same players on the Junior Lynx roster last season. Chapman, the younger brother of Candace Chapman, a Canadian na- tional women’s soccer team standout and member of the NCAA champion Notre Dame University Fighting Irish, was fitted with two pins and a rod in his injured leg, which allowed him little or no activity from last November until January. He began rehabilitation and physiotherapy on the leg in March and should be able to resume running in two or three weeks. “Everything is on track, so I’m really excited,” he says. Chapman says his sister is his role model, opening his eyes to all the pos- sibilities soccer can provide. “Until I got the scholarship, I didn’t know how far soccer could take me. Her being on the Canadian team gave me the confidence and hope that I could play for Canada as well,” says Chapman, who was also courted by Providence College, the University of Illinois, University of Cincinnati and George Mason University. An official visit, however, was all it took to set his sights on Vermont. “None were as serious as Vermont. I felt that was the school for me.” Chapman hopes to play competi- tively this summer in preparation for his freshman season at Vermont. But, he notes he intends to be cautious, wanting to be completely healed be- fore heading out on the soccer field again. “I’m going to make my decision in June whether to play in the summer. I want to ensure I’ll be ready for the season in Vermont.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Although still recuperating from a broken leg, Ajax’s Dominic Chapman hopes to be fully healed by the fall so he can start his collegiate soccer career with the University of Vermont Catamounts. Chapman suffered his season-ending injury last November in the North American championship semifinal game in Orlando, Florida. Get the PICTURE!

The YMCA’s Spirit of Giving cam- paign has a goal of raising $107,000 this year to support its various pro- grams. All proceeds from the golf tournament will go to the campaign. Tournament registration forms are available at the Durham Family YMCA, 99 Mary St. N. For more information on the golf tournament, contact Clancy Cole at 905-438-0822 ext. 703. Golf tournament to support YMCA fundraising Spirit of Giving campaign Select baseball league gaining steam OSSBA home to four Durham Region teams By Brian McNair Staff Editor DURHAM — Stephen Smith seems willing, able and incredibly eager to take the Ontario Senior Select Base- ball Association to the next level. The new president of the league, which has grown from four to 10 teams as it enters its fifth season and is now home to four Durham Region squads, is working tirelessly to promote the league and has already secured the Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome) for its annual all-star game on July 17. Also an assistant coach with the Whitby-based Durham Chiefs, Smith has been with the league since day one, having worked closely with founder and past president Rod Ho- linaty to grow and improve the league. Although they have had a bit of a fall- ing out and are now associated with different teams — Holinaty is manager of the Whitby Chiefs — Smith recog- nizes all the hard work of his prede- cessor. “I hope to pick up from all the great work Rod has done to get the OSSBA off the ground,” Smith says. “I want to continue to have the coaches and players voice their concerns, take their suggestions and work together to build the best senior hardball associa- tion possible.” Although the OSSBA began more as a recreational league in 2001, the tal- ent level has steadily improved each season with the addition of more rep players and a few former Intercounty players. The fact the majority of games are part of weekend doubleheaders is extremely attractive to those balanc- ing busy work schedules. “We’re trying to design a program that takes recreational ball and com- petitive and make a nice blend of the two,” says Smith. “We’re just trying to make sure guys have a place to play ball... (and) do whatever we can to keep it fun. We know this isn’t the major leagues.” Both of the Chiefs teams are origi- nal members, with Durham previous- ly known as Whitby Chiefs Red and Whitby previously know as Whitby Chiefs Blue. They formed the league in 2001 with the Richmond Hill Phoenix and Mississauga Stars, who won the first two league championships. With the addition of six new teams, including the Oshawa Talons and Pickering Pirates, the league is now divided into two divisions, named in honour of Canadian baseball greats Larry Walker and Fergie Jenkins. The four Durham teams are part of the Walker (east) division along with the Barrie Red Sox, while the Bloor Jays, Burlington Bulls, Mississauga North Tigers, Mississauga Stars and Rich- mond Hill Phoenix comprise the Jen- kins (west) division. When the season gets under way May 7, the east teams will be looking to break a string of west dominance that continued when Richmond Hill edged Whitby two games to one in last year’s best-of-three final. Coming off their second straight ap- pearance in the league final — the Bloor Jays beat them in 2003 — the Whitby Chiefs will again be the team to beat in the Walker division despite the loss of three key players. The Chiefs are led by the likes of outfielder Jay Jar vie, pitcher Sam Grabowski, short- stop Mark Cairns and newcomer Ryan Newport. The Durham Chiefs, who finished second in the division last season, are hoping the addition of Adam Stokes will help them get over the hump. Stokes, a former Oshawa Dodger who has defected from the Whitby Chiefs, will join a strong outfield that includes Mike Robertson and Colin Cockburn. The Oshawa Talons have added out- fielder Mark Brown and pitcher Ted Gendron to a solid core that includes pitchers Ryan Reid and Mike Arse- nault and catcher Kyle Pitman, as they hope to move up from their fourth place finish of a year ago. Pickering, third in the division last season, has added outfielder Jon Horning and shortstop Jaymin Parmar to a group that includes pitchers Matt Horning and Mike Minarik and first baseman Dave Lewis. For more information on the league, including schedules that are still be finalized, see the website at www. leaguelineup.com/ossba. Pickering band working on first album By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — For Preconfused, the fun is just beginning. The Pickering-based band has begun recording its first CD, to be re- leased in June, and its been a special experience. “It’s awesome, to see how it all works,” said guitarist and vocalist Jo- seph DeBenedictis. “You never listen to a song the same way anymore, it’s really interesting.” The band, comprised of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School musi- cians DeBenedictis, Rob Noehammer (rhythm guitar), Justin Moy (drums) and Paul Cavelli (bass) didn’t find studio work easy, however. “It takes about a day to record a song. It’s hard work, and long hours,” said DeBenedictis. One of the songs to come out of the recording experience is the group’s first single, Summertime. “The lyrics come from what ev- eryone thinks during that last exam, thinking about the bell, ‘hurry up and ring’. Hopefully kids can relate to it,” said DeBenedictis. The band has a number of shows coming up, playing at The Docks on May 8 as well as at the Toronto Lynx home opener on May 15, where it hopes to get the crowd of soccer fans on their feet. “We’ve got a song called The Wave. It’s perfect for sporting events, so hopefully we can get the crowd going,” said DeBenedictis. The band has performed at many public schools for Grade 7 and 8 students, including a well-received show at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in March. DeBenedictis notes the music appeals to different age groups. “Pretty much anyone can enjoy it. I played it for my grandpa and he really liked it,” he said. With their six-track album on the way (it will be available at the band’s shows), the boys of Preconfused aren’t about to slow down. “Hopefully we’ll keep getting gigs,” said DeBenedictis. “Of course you want to make it big with your band, but you have to be realistic. We just have to keep working hard and having fun, and we’ll be OK.” For more information on the band, visit www.preconfused.tk.

Classifieds Continued From Page B6 DURHAM — Lost Cause found itself the winner at Bandwarz 2005 finals. The band of three brothers came away with the title at the annual bat- tle-of-the-bands competition recently. Lost Cause caught the attention of judges with “showmanship and pas- sion,” according to Sue McCallum, of True North Records. Jeff Ledger, of 2002 Bandwarz cham- pions and Ajax, Pickering band Blues Underdog, said, “I am not a big fan of this style of music, but these guys con- verted me. These guys got it.” Matt, Jimbo and Zack Bailey were also offered some advice by McCal- lum. “Don’t stop playing ... work on the vocals,” she said. “It has to be as strong as everything else is. Bravo!” Lost Cause was one of eight bands picked for the finals from the five weekly competitions. The band wins $1,000 in cash, recording time at War- den Studios, a prize package from Al- catraz Skate and Snow and a media kit package from Duarte Communica- tions. Also in the Bandwarz final show- case were: Autumn Avanue, Emphatic, Flight, the Free Press, the Lemmings, Summer Hero and Torsion. Bandwarz is Durham’s original rock music contest for bands looking to make their mark on the music indus- try. The contest offers independent and unsigned bands the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of music industry representatives and booking agents. This year, 31 bands took part in Bandwarz, presented by Eclipse Concerts.

LPGA TOUR Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill Kingsmill Resort & Spa, Williamsburg, VA. THIS WEEK’S TOUR STOPS Tips On Getting Out Of Wet Bunkers This Week shows you a reliable way of getting out of those fi rm, wet bunkers. We found a bunker, and the sand is very wet. Obviously, it’s been raining the past hour. The rain packs the sand and becomes much harder. So we’re going to tell you how to play out of a fi rm bunker. When the bunker is fi rm and becomes a hardpan, you don’t want to open the clubface too much. That brings too much bounce into play, and what happens is: the club bounces off of the bunker, and even though you hit behind the ball, the club will bounce and it will seem like you skulled the ball, and it will fl y over the green. So you don’t want to open the clubface too much, just a little open is okay. What you want to feel is more of a shallow follow through. So remember, a less-open clubface, shallow and smooth through the ball. Tips On Playing In Windy Conditions This Week, shows you a reliable way to play when confronted with windy conditions. On a windy day, we’re going to practice the knockdown shot. The biggest problem we see is when people try to hit the knockdown shot, they are really trying to hit it hard while leaning into it. That’s putting too much spin on the ball, and it fl ies up too high and comes in way too short. So, let’s teach you the correct way to hit the knockdown shot, so that you can hopefully improve your scores. This is what we see in a normal person: when they go to hit the ball, they feel the breeze into them and they really try to hit it hard. So they come in, hit forward, and the ball balloons up way in the air, and who knows how far it’s going to go. The correct way is always take one, maybe two clubs more than you generally would, depending on the strength of the wind. Just take it in, you don’t have to move it too far back, just the middle of the stance. The main thing is: keep your body nice and still, and it’s just a nice, smooth swing. You don’t have to hit it hard. You don’t need to go forward. It’s just staying there and coming around the ball. Keeping that ball under the breeze will make your game a whole lot more reliable, and that’s what we’re looking for in this game is: to be more reliable. So, hopefully, that will work for you.
