Convicted killer back in custody Police worried escapee may have headed for family in Ajax area By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — The convicted Taber killer, who has been the focus of a 24- hour manhunt, was arrested without incident late Tuesday afternoon. To dd Cameron Smith, 20, who shot and killed a fellow student at a high school in Alberta six years ago, walked away from an open custody facility in To ronto around 3:30 a.m. Monday. He was arrested by members of Toronto Police Service’s 51 division in the area of Dundas Street East and Berkeley Street at 4:50 p.m. He had walked way from a Toronto halfway house Monday afternoon. Police, who were “concerned for the safety of the community”, initially stated he might be headed to Durham Region where he had family in Ajax. A To ronto police source said Mr. Smith left behind a note indicating he has no intention of remaining “caged” any more and does not plan to be taken back into custody alive. Mr. Smith was convicted of first de- gree murder and two counts of at- tempted murder in 2000 after he shot and killed a 17-year-old student at his high school in Taber, Alta. Only 14 at the time, Mr. Smith also wounded a second student and missed a third during the April 28, 1999 shoot- ing. The event grabbed media attention around North America since it came a week after the slaying of 13 students at Columbine High School in Colorado.

Residents, industries feeling the pinch as price of gasoline goes over the dollar mark By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Although the price of gasoline has continued to rise, GM Canada has not seen any decline in the sale of its less fuel-efficient ve- hicles. In fact, it’s having trouble keeping up with demand. “We’re building maximum over- time at our full-sized pickup truck plant -- they can’t run enough over- time right now to meet demands,” GM public affairs manager Pam McLaughlin said. “It’s a very interesting phenomena. SUV’s would be slightly more fuel efficient than a truck... but we can’t make enough of them right now.” In recent days, the price of crude oil has topped more than $67 per barrel -- the highest since oil futures began trading in 1983.

The Durham Region chairman, and president of the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario (AMO), was speaking Tuesday from the AMO conference in To ronto. Ontario towns and cities want the Liberal government to deal with what they say is the $3 billion imbal- ance created by the former Conserva- tive government, which took over 100 per cent of the cost of education but dumped health and welfare costs in their lap. “If we had one-third of our money back we could be investing in our in- frastructure, like roads, our sewer and water plants, repairing or replacing old pipes,” Mr. Anderson says. “We could be acquiring land for our environmental protection. We could be moving ahead with our trail system for Durham, in- vesting in public transit.” He criticized Municipal Affairs Min- ister John Gerretsen for telling media at the conference, but not AMO delegates directly, that the Province first has to tackle its $3 billion deficit. Mr. Ander- son says that message is getting old anyway. “We think that the deficit is far more in check than what they’re suggesting,” he says. “I would suggest that if the gov- ernment wants to continue to use that line, they’re going to have trouble down the road.” He says Ontario voters elected a gov- ernment that promised change, not the status quo, and that the Liberals haven’t been a friend to municipalities since they took office. With just two years remaining in their term, Mr. Anderson says AMO wants the government to fulfil its promise “to help municipalities become more fiscally sustainable.” ✦ See Municipalities, Page 2 ANNANDALE CHURCH ST.

Last Thursday, the health department indicated that two birds submitted for testing in Guelph were probably carry- ing the virus. The news release advised residents to take precautions to avoid being bitten, especially since human West Nile virus (WNV) cases had been reported elsewhere in southern Ontar- io. “We have confirmed that the birds are positive,” spokeswoman Glendene Collins said Monday. The birds, both crows, were collected in Oshawa on Aug. 4 and in Whitby on Aug. 8. One might think that the dry, swel- tering summer we’ve experienced in 2005 would mean less mosquitoes and therefore fewer cases of WNV. However Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Region’s asso- ciate medical officer of health, says the opposite is true. “We have seen in other parts of the world that hot, dry weather usually means an increase in WNV cases in hu- mans,” she says. Dr. Reynolds says the reasons are un- clear, but it could be that the dry weath- er prompts both birds and mosquitoes to come in to urban areas to find water. “I think the message with the lateness of the detection... is we have a lot still to learn about this virus and how it will affect the North American population,” she says. Mr. Smith was transferred to Co- bourg’s Brookside Youth Centre in 2002 after his family moved to Ontario. In a hearing last February, a judge in Port Hope determined he should remain in custody due to his recurring violent fantasies, lack of remorse for his crime and a family history of mental illness. But after less than five years behind bars, a judge allowed Mr. Smith to be transferred to a halfway house in To- ronto in March this year. The sister of the escaped teen mur- derer spoke at a press conference just hours before his arrest begging her brother to turn himself in before he got himself killed. “Please don’t hurt my brother,” Jen- nifer Smith said. “I’m afraid we’re going to find a body. I don’t want a body, I want my brother back.” This week’s manhunt was the first time Mr. Smith’s identity has been made public, as he was sentenced under the Young Offender’s Act. The To ronto police had to apply to the courts to get information out to the public. — with files from Torstar News Service A/P PAGE 2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆AUGUST 17, 2005 Carinsurance made easy Although no car insurance company can claim to be the cheapest, at BELAIRdirect we do our best.

Please send it to news editor David Stell at dstell@ durhamregion. com NEWS ADVERTISER In his AMO speech, Mr. Gerretsen said the review of Ontario’s Municipal Act is ongoing, and that the Province wants municipalities “to have the means to be fiscally sustainable, autonomous and accountable. “We intend to introduce legisla- tion to make that happen.” Mr. Gerretsen said the gov- ernment “took an historic ap- proach by step- ping back” and allowing munici- palities to deal directly with the federal government on gas tax revenue sharing. Mr. Anderson had a different take on the issue, say- ing municipalities went to the federal government for funding help because the Province isn’t addressing their cash crunch. Ontario municipalities received $112 million this week from the federal gov- ernment, the first instalment of federal gasoline tax revenue. Durham in 2005 is to receive $9.8 million. Durham and other municipalities are also receiving provincial gas tax rev- enue, one cent per litre as of October 2004, rising to 1.5 cents this October and two cents next year for municipal transit. According to the Ministry of Finance, it amounts to $3.7 million for Durham municipalities this year. Mr. Anderson disagreed with the sug- gestion that time is of the essence in terms of AMO’s request, since a Con- servative government would be less likely to address the issue. “I’d say maybe just the opposite,” he said. “They have a new leader and their party has to come up with policies to address the fiscal imbalance.” He wanted to wait and see what Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty has to say about the funding gap. The premier is to speak to AMO del- egates this morning.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Fa tal crash PICKERING — A 19-year-old Bowmanville woman is dead after a collision on Hwy. 401 eastbound, just east of Whites Road in Pickering, early Monday morning. Police say a black Oldsmobile was in the right collector lane, just east of Whites Road, and, for a yet-undetermined reason, left the road and hit the south concrete barrier. The car then veered left, crossing all lanes of traffic and hitting the north concrete barrier. The ac- cident happened around 6:25 a.m., and the eastbound collector lanes were closed from 6:30 to 10:15 a.m. for police investigation. The driver, 19-year-old Nichola Marie Samuels of Bowmanville, was found at the scene without vital signs and pronounced dead. The 18-year-old passenger, Marshall Bingham of Whitby, was in the backseat at the time of the collision, and was taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital with broken ribs and a broken leg. PICKERING — Durham po- lice have issued a warrant for the arrest of the man responsible for several thefts from lockers at the Pickering Recreation Complex. According to police, on June 8 shortly after noon a male ap- proached an employee of the recreation complex and claimed that he had lost his access card and needed to gain entrance to the membership area and locker room. After being allowed access, the man was seen running from the change room approximately five minutes later. Three victims later reported that the locks had been cut from their lockers and wallets containing cash and credit cards had been stolen. The cards were later used at the Pickering Town Centre. The suspect was cap- tured on video using the stolen credit cards and police posted digital photos on their website. The suspect has since been identified as Shawn Bolby, age 23, of no fixed address.

EDITORIAL Changing parties doesn’t always hurt To the editor: Regarding the recent letters in connection with Belinda Stronach crossing the floor of the House of Commons, I do not comprehend how people can get their knickers in such a twist. These individuals are not familiar with the politi- cal career of that well-known statesman, Sir Winston Churchill. He was born into a fam- ily well known for its strong Conservative Party connec- tions. This did not prevent him from changing party af- filiation when following the dictates of his conscience. He entered Parliament in 1900 as a Conservative MP. In 1904 he crossed the floor in disagree- ment with the government’s tariff proposals. Initially he sat as an Independent, but later as a Liberal. He made numerous unsuccessful attempts to get re-elected. First, in 1923 as an Independent, and then early in 1924 as a Constitutionalist. In the General Election held in late 1924, he was at last suc- cessful and got elected repre- senting the Liberal Party. He later rejoined the Con- servatives, however, holding numerous ministerial portfo- lios and became party leader in 1940. To r at, as he called chang- ing party affiliation, was one thing, but to re-rat, as he did, obviously did him no harm. Guy Colm, Ajax It’s Liverpool raceway To the editor: Start your engines at Liver- pool and Bayly. You will not encounter a stop sign at all. Yo u can speed down Liverpool at 100 km/h. Oh, you might kill a dog or a cat, but that will not stop you. Just keep on going until you hit the parking lot at Frenchmen’s Bay. Then you can go north again at the same speed. I would only hope that this time you will stop when you hit an animal. I wanted you to see the horror on my kids’ faces as they watched their cat ‘Twice’ die in agony as you fi- nally slowed down to 60 km/h and then drove off. I also want to thank the other cars that flew down the road as my kids huddled around as I picked up its lifeless body. I have been asking for years to put a stop sign at Liver- pool Road and Krosno Bou- levard. This would not elimi- nate speeders, but it would definitely slow you down to at least 40 km/h. This seems to be an issue for the City of Pickering. Maybe when a child gets hit at 100 km/h and his father has to pick up his lifeless body, somebody will listen. To the person who ran over my cat, I buried Twice tonight and she does not forgive you. Ira Abroms Pickering It’s not NIMBY, it’s saving history To the editor: Re: ‘To move forward, we must stop saying ‘no’ to prog- ress’, letter, Aug. 10. It is a little disturbing to be classed as “thinking about yourselves” when you are try- ing to save an ancestral home and a whole community from being bulldozed into oblivion so that future generations won’t have to head to their local library to find out that these places actually did exist at one time. As for grandparents getting on the bandwagon: Perhaps, Ms. Lewis has missed all the brouhaha about a certain gen- tleman named Elder George Barclay who got on his “band- wagon” in 1837. I’m opposed to an airport in north Pickering because it is such a hugely bad idea on so many levels. I’m fighting for my kids and your kids. I’m fighting so that the kids in the Pickering area will have local produce to eat, clean air to breath and if they want to take a ride in the coun- try they won’t have to go all the way to Haliburton to do it. My kids finding jobs close to home is the least of my worries. Laurie Barclay Claremont LETTERS TO THE EDITOR “ T he only problem with the island, is that it ruins you.” These were the words of my friend Brian as he left my fam- ily and I on the shore of his island cottage retreat. At the time, day one of a week-long vacation on one of the most beautiful hunks of granite in the Canadian Shield, I didn’t know what he was talking about. Now, three days home, I understand all too well. At the risk of sounding like a Luddite there is no question in my mind that we are pay- ing a huge price for the busy, info-saturated lifestyles most of us have chosen. I expect the salmon, manically swimming upstream with thousands of his likewise frenzied compa- triots, rarely takes the time to notice the beauty of the water surrounding him. But take him out of the swarm and turmoil, let him swim quietly by himself and very soon he remembers how delightful it really is to be a fish in this wonderful sea. Over six blessedly quiet days, in a cozy cedar cabin, surrounded by towering hemlocks, white pines that would’ve made Tom Thom- son drool, and emerald green waters so clear you could see a bass fart 20 feet down, I watched my family rediscover something long dormant with- in ourselves. The cabin had no radio, tele- vision, Internet or phone. No DVD, no VCR, no MSN. Just air, H20 and sun. We unpacked and the metamorphoses began almost immediately. There is something almost baptismal about diving into a lake. When you dive into a lake you be- come a visitor in a world not your own. It is dark and cool and silent and while you thrash about and peer goggle-eyed into the depths, there are things look- ing back. You get smaller. Your place on this earth falls more into perspective. Swimming naked accelerates the process. Believe me... especially when part of you looks like bait. With each passing day we seemed to settle. Our pace and our pulse slowed, our focus sharpened. Even the boys, normally rockets of impatient energy, began to fall under the island’s primal spell. With no media to tell them what was entertaining, they discovered their own vast resources. They improvised long, hilar- ious one-sided conversations on an antique phone in the cottage. They lay on the sun- baked granite and sketched. They read ferociously, played cards, snorkelled until they had permanent rings around their faces and, wonder of wonders, they talked to one another. Not fighting, not taking shots at each other. But actually listen- ing and connecting. As for me, I am never far away from my inner salmon. The island had me the first time I could whiz off of the deck naked, while gazing up at the stars. But of course eventually the world beckons and, after our week, we regretfully headed back into the magnetic field. Once home, I watched, bro- ken-hearted, as the television and computer slowly lured my kids back into their cold blue world, I could almost hear their frontal lobes atrophying. This was all here before we left, I know, it just didn’t seem so pathetic then. Brian was right, the island ruins you. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Oh, the joys of going to the island Neil Crone enter laughing The world stopped fighting 60 years ago VJ Day marked end of worst slaughter in mankind’s history T hough it is not celebrated with the same ceremony as VE Day (May 8) and D-Day (June 6), VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day, marked the real end of the last time the world was at war. That day was 60 years ago this past Monday, when Emperor Hi- rohito surrendered to the Allied Forces. For many, the day is remembered by “the kiss,” when a happy sailor swept an unsuspecting nurse in his arms in Times Square. The pair are forever immortalized in that joyous occasion. Oth- ers recall the horrific atomic bombings of Hiroshima (Aug. 6) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9) which killed hundreds of thousands and brought Japan to its knees. But we in Canada would do well to remember that it was the end of nearly four years of suffering and pain for Canadian soldiers who were captured on Christmas Day, 1941. It was just a few weeks after Pearl Harbour, and Japanese forces were striking at areas throughout Southeast Asia. A hardy band of Canadian soldiers -- along with some Brits and Indians -- were ordered to protect the British Colony of Hong Kong. Against over- whelming odds, they held out for two weeks but were eventually overcome. Some 1,975 Canadians fought in the battle. Those who survived, including Durham resident Sergeant Robert ‘Flash’ Clayton of Brechin, faced a grim future of torture and suffering. Many worked in Japanese plants as they lasted out the conflict as prisoners of war. Some 557 died either in battle or in POW camps. Few are left today. VJ Day is also an opportunity for us to recall our own unfortunate part in the war -- on the home front. Because we were at war with Japan, some 22,000 Japanese-Cana- dians, three-quarters of whom were naturalized Canadian citizens, were stripped of their belongings and forced to live in camps for years until the end of the war. The Government of Canada has since formally apologized to those affected by this treatment. Aug. 15 is a day that allows us to remember that we can never again become embroiled in a world war. That war left 50 million dead and many countries devastated. Never again.

Mr. Gruetzner adds Ontario Power Generation’s decision won’t impact the government’s plan to phase out coal generation by 2009. “The two aren’t related. Units 2 and 3 never factored into the coal-replace- ment plan. From that point of view, it’s not an issue,” Mr. Gruetzner states. The plan currently “calls for enough supply. We won’t close (coal plants) until there’s adequate replacements,” he says. The coal phase-out is slated to begin in 2007. Even with the electricity sys- tem straining to meet demand, Mr. Gruetzner says there’s no chance of the government get- ting financially involved with OPG and having the two reactors restarted. “We’re supportive” of OPG’s deci- sion, he notes. “It’s in the best interest of the company and taxpayers.” When OPG announced the decision last Friday not to restart the reactors, company officials said the cost to re- furbish the two units would total $2 billion. Also, the reactors would only run for seven to 10 years once the work was complete. As for building new reactors, Mr. Gruetzner says, “It’s something the minister and premier have said is something that has to be examined and considered.” The Ontario Power Authority is studying the energy supply mix and will report at the end of the year. Mr. Gruetzner says no specific de- cision has been made, nor has a site been targeted. Meanwhile, Pickering Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles questions the decision by OPG to mothball the reac- tors. “My initial reaction, like most peo- ple, we’re close to blackouts, we’re having brownouts, they’re asking us to reduce power, they’re shutting coal plants and we have to import power from the U.S.,” he says. “My understanding is they could have the reactors up and running in a year.” The Unit 1 start-up, he states, was “c lose to being on time.” “I’m concerned, we have blackouts and brownouts and added smog (from coal-fired plants) and down the road we have 1,000 megawatts sitting there,” Coun. Pickles adds. The province is having difficulty meeting electricity demands now and the councillor notes 60,000 could soon be living in the Seaton area of Pick- ering. “There’s 1,000 megawatts and somebody decided not to put it into power.” OPG employees have developed ex- pertise and knowledge while retrofit- ting Units 1 and 4, he points out. “If the Province does decide to restart them down there, they’ll be gone. They will have dissembled that team. “They have a team all assembled. There’s a 1,000 MW and they’re not moving ahead with it,” Coun. Pick- les says. “We need the power. Why aren’t we proceeding with this thing. We know the price of gas and oil. Coal is dirty. It’s great to have windmills. I’d rather have 2 and 3 running than (coal- fired) Nanticoke and be breathing in smog.” Pickering council could work on a response that would be discussed at the Sept. 6 council meeting. Having all the reactors at Picker- ing operational could “speed up the closing down” of coal-fired plants, he adds. more than $1.02 per litre. Canadians have an obsession with gas prices, Ms. McLaughlin said, but GM isn’t seeing a real change in purchasing patterns just yet. “Yes, some of the SUV sales have been lower, but we believe that is more attributed to the simple case of there’s a lot of choice in that par- ticular segment right now, from all manufacturers,” she said. “Although it is not altering purchasing deci- sions, we know that Canadians are quite obsessed with it right now, and rightfully so, because of the increas- es.” On average, Ontario gas prices have increased by 10 cents per litre since the beginning of August, and nearly 30 cents per litre since the start of the year. For industries that rely heavily on gasoline prices in order to make a profit, it’s getting harder and harder to come out ahead. “From a driver’s perspective, it’s probably taking more than 20 per cent of their income right now,” said Chris Pelgrims, owner of Bell Taxi in Whitby. “They’re the ones that pay for the gas... so it’s cutting right into their earnings.” He said cab drivers in Whitby have only had one pay raise in the past 15 years — a minimal increase in 1990 — while gas prices have continued to soar. “Now that they’ve finally gone over a dollar, there should be some com- pensation in my mind, either through a rate increase or a reduction in taxes for commercial vehicles users,” Mr. Pelgrims said. “These guys are making less now than what they were making 15 years ago.” A Pickering gas station owner said the impact he’s seeing is more theft. “The number of drivers leaving without paying has increased since the price of gas has gone up,” said Nasim Yousuf, at his Sunoco station at Brock Road and Pickering Park- way. Norm Mackie, vice president of Mackie Moving Systems in Oshawa, said a fuel surcharge of anywhere from 12 to 18 per cent is being added on to every transport load to help offset the rising cost of fuel. “It’s not so much gasoline here; it’s diesel fuel. But diesel fuel has crept up there as well, it’s hovering around 90 cents right now too,” Mr. Mackie said. “If I had to run loads right now with no fuel surcharge, it just wouldn’t work. It’s definitely a grind on the business.” And there doesn’t seem to be any relief in sight, at least for the time being. Gas prices may continue to rise, Mr. Mackie said. “I don’t have a crystal ball,” he said. “I hope that it doesn’t, but I mean, who knows?” ✦ Rising from page 1 Mike Slean Rising prices hitting cabbies in the pocketbooks Omar Khan Paul Lucifore ✦ Pickles from page 1 Pickles questions reactors’ decision David Pickles ...Your say Photographer A.J.

Artist’s latest show at OPG gallery in Pickering By Jeff Hayward Staff Writer PICKERING — She might have only just started her professional career as an artist, but she already has an award to show for it. Uxbridge painter Kim Robertson re- cently won in the ‘best watercolour’ category at a juried show during Os- hawa Art Association’s 37th annual ju- ried art exhibition, with her painting entitled ‘Synchronized Swimmers’. She said she finds inspiration for her work from her golden retrievers and her children, and said her portraiture work has been particularly well re- ceived. “It’s nice to see a reaction (from the viewers),” she said. “It’s very gratify- ing.” Ms. Robertson has aspired for many years to be an artist full-time, having some background in graphic design. It wasn’t until recently that dream be- came a reality. “I’ve been a (full-time) artist for about a year and a half,” said Ms. Rob- ertson. She said being an artist takes a lot of dedication. “It’s not easy,” she commented. “(But) it’s a very rewarding occupa- tion” Those interested in seeing her lat- est display, including her award-win- ning watercolour, can visit the Ontario Power Generation Information Centre at 1675 Montgomery Park Rd. in Pick- ering until Sept. 12. Doors are open 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during weekdays, and admission is free. For more information on the exhibit, call Gwen Williams at 905-509-2599.

The Durham West Basketball League has divisions for girls and boys aged eight to 15.

Locals help Ontario win midget crowns AJAX — Three Ajax teens were members of Ontario teams that claimed titles at the Canadian midget basketball championships. Adriana Allen, who attends Picker- ing High School, and Takima Keane, who goes to Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, were members of the Ontario girls’ under-15 midget basketball. Jonathan Tull, also of Pickering High, was a member of the boys’ under-15 midget team. The boys’ squad defeated British Columbia in the finals 73-52, while the girls’ team also topped a B.C. squad, 61- 42. Tull was named the player of the game in Ontario’s first round-robin game, a 117-48 thumping of Manitoba. The Canadian Midget National Championships were held from Aug. 2 to 6 at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta. Keane’s club team is the Ajax Lions, while Allen plays for the Scarborough Lancers. Tull plays for the Durham West club. [ Hockey ] Leaf legends at The Pickering Markets PICKERING — To r onto Maple Leaf greats will appear at The Pickering Mar- kets during ‘Legends of Hockey Day’ on Saturday, Aug. 20.

[ Baseball ] Pickering peewees conquer Cooperstown PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox minor peewee rep baseball team played like Hall of Famers in the cradle of baseball recently. The Sox competed at the prestigious Cooperstown Dream Park Tournament in Cooperstown, NY — the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame — recently, return- ing with several wins against top teams and an unbelievable diamond experience. The Pickering peewees posted a 5–2 record in the round-robin portion of the tournament, but were defeated in their first elimination-round game by the Burns- ville Blaze of Minnesota. Pickering received the highest ranking ever for a Canadian team in the tournament’s 10-year history, slotted 24th out of 80 teams. Team members are Michael Foster, Steven Somerville, Michael Power, Logan Abernethy, Russell McGibbon, Cory Dug- gan, Philippe Cote, Ryan Mostrales, Nyl Yakura, Cody Malloy, Brandon Tieche and Grant Tamane. Gary Tamane, Scott Logan, Mike Leufkens, Kevin Malloy and Kevin Fos- ter coach the team.

New ownership group aims to take downtrodden Lightning to new heights Once on life support, Durham women’s hockey team on solid footing... for now By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Can elite women’s hockey flourish in Durham Region? The new ownership group of the Dur- ham Lightning believes it can resusci- tate the struggling National Women’s Hockey League franchise. Brandon Smith and his ownership group are putting their best foot for- ward, not to mention their money, in the hopes of making the Ajax-based squad thrive once again in the league that has teams in Toronto, Oakville, Brampton, as well as Ottawa and Mon- treal. After six seasons of relative obscu- rity and achieving lacklustre results on the ice, the Durham (formerly Telus) Lightning was on life support after last season, notes Smith, whose wife, Sara, played on the team. With principal sponsor, Telus, pulling out, the Dur- ham West Girls’ Hockey Association (DWGHA) was prepared to sell or fold the team during the off-season. “There wasn’t going to be a team in Durham anymore. When I found this information out, I got a group of guys together and bought the team,” says Smith, a local businessman who’s a longtime fan of women’s hockey, first at the university level at Niagara University in New York and, last year, watching the Lightning home contests. Smith admits that he initially sought to relocate the team out of Durham Re- gion, but after reviewing the situation, he and the other owners, Terence Love and Rick Anderson, reconsidered. “We wanted to move the team at first, the reason being that there hasn’t been a lot of support for the girls. That’s understandable because when you’re losing by 12-1 scores, the interest tends to level off.” But, Smith warns that the owner- ship group is only committed to the next two seasons. If support doesn’t improve during that time, the team may be forced to move to another GTA location. He’s confident that he and his ownership partners can rally support. “We want to keep the team in Dur- ham, but we want to see over the next couple of years if there’s sponsorship and interest in the area. The DWGHA is one of the biggest female hockey organizations in Canada, so there’s no reason we can’t have a good fan base. When you go to Brampton and see 400 to 500 people in the stands, there’s no reason for Durham not to have the same thing.” To bolster its fan base, Smith notes the Durham Lightning will become more community oriented and will continue to have close ties with the DWGHA, as well as to branch out to appeal to other cities and towns in the region. But, mostly, Smith says his biggest job is to improve the on-ice product and, since taking over as co-owner and general manager in May, he’s sought to completely overhaul the lineup with proven, quality players. One of his first signings was Latoya Clarke, a Pickering native who played with the Montreal Axion last season. A former member of Canada’s national under-22 squad and a premier collegiate player for the powerhouse University of Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s hockey pro- gram, Clarke will be the cornerstone of the new era of Lightning hockey. The Lightning has also poached some players from other area programs, in- cluding goaltender Kendra Fisher, who played with the perennially powerful To ronto Aeros last season. The Light- ning also signed Dawn Macauley, the Oakville Ice’s best defenceman from last season. And, the club has also signed several of the best players in the NCAA from last season, including forward Teresa Marchese, an MVP with the Mercy- hurst College Lakers of Erie, Pennsyl- vania, goaltender Desi Clark, also with Mercyhurst, and Niagara University forward Candice Moxley. All told, the team expects to have 14 new players in the lineup when the season opens, with only seven hold- overs, including captain Joanne Eu- stace, says Smith. The club has been skating in Vaughan each week through the summer and intends to return to Ajax in early September. Smith believes this year should mark the most competitive season ever for the Lightning. “I’m very confident,” he says. “Right now, the buzz around the league is we’re the team to beat. But, we can’t be too overconfident. The best thing is we have some star power this year. We have some exceptional players. They all get along and they all like each other.” Although the roster has been over- hauled, the team has elected to stick with head coach Peter Perram, who’s been at the helm the past two seasons. “We feel that in the few years he’s been here, I don’t think he’s had the best teams put together. He hasn’t had an elite group of girls to coach. The girls respect him and like him, so we wanted him to remain as coach.” The 2005-06 season in the eight- team NWHL commences in late Sep- tember, with the Lightning’s first game in Oakville against the Ice on Sept. 24. The home opener is at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 4 against the Brampton Thunder at 7:30 p.m. A tale of woe The Durham Lightning has experienced a run of futility in its past five seasons in the National Women’s Hockey League.

Pickering teen to study science while on soccer scholarship to the Queen’s city By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING — Brooke McCalla has shuffled off to Buffalo. The 17-year-old Pickering girl is at- tending the University of Buffalo on an athletic scholarship, where she’ll play a forward position on the Bulls’ soccer team. The Dunbarton High School grad- uate was spotted by a university of- ficial while playing in a soccer tour- nament in Mississauga. McCalla was also approached by Campbell Uni- versity in North Carolina, as well as having “seven or eight other offers.” She choose Buffalo because “not a lot of people know how good the school is. They have a great support program for their athletes. The sci- ence program is really great.” She’ll be studying biological sci- ence. McCalla agrees it is a difficult subject, but notes, “I can handle it.” McCalla has been playing soccer since she was about five, mostly in Pickering. This past season, however, she played in Unionville. “A lot is owed to my uncle, Junior Groves. He taught me how to play,” she states. She’s “very excited,” about heading to Buffalo. “From way back, when I first start- ed playing soccer, I was hoping to get a scholarship to the U.S. and get a good education,” she says. She hasn’t thought about soccer beyond university, but adds, “if an opportunity comes up, I’ll see what the offer is.” After university, she “hopes to get into medicine. I’m not sure which part. I’ll wait and see,” adding pedi- atrics could be interesting. “It’s what I would focus on because I like kids.” U of B is an NCAA Division 1 school that plays in the Mid-American Con- ference. McCalla left for school today (Wednesday) and expects to start playing for the Bulls almost immedi- ately. Brooke McCalla heading to U of Buffalo Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Brooke McCalla will continue her soc- cer career with the University of Buffalo Bulls.
