Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson introduced a motion re- confirming Council’s support of a public and independent due diligence review of the Greater Toronto Airports Author- ity’s (GTAA) Master Plan for the Federal Lands in Pickering. Similar resolutions have been written in the past, but council approved this updated one at the meet- ing on April 16. The resolution urges the federal, pro- vincial and regional governments to sup- port that the review be conducted in an open, public and transparent process. It also asks the GTAA to include how the following factors would affect the busi- ness case for Pickering and the future of air transportation: rising fuel prices and peak oil; the impact emissions would have on air quality and how it would contribute to climate change; and the economic impact future emission con- trols may have. The City’s statement of opposition re- sulted from Ward 1 City Councillor Jen- nifer O’Connell’s concerns. She said the last time Council stated it’s opposition to the airport was in 1998. “Nine years is a long time not to have open public discussion on such an im- portant issue,” she said. Coun. O’Connell said she thinks it’s important today’s residents get a chance to state their opinions. “My personal opinion is that I feel an airport in Pickering would be environ- mentally devastating and I therefore do not support it,” she said. “However I was not elected to represent only my personal opinion, but the opinion of those whom I represent.” When she asked Mayor Dave Ryan if he’d consider factoring in a public airport meeting into his upcoming Town Hall meetings, he said he’d take it under advisement. Coun. Littley said she would also like a public meeting and is opposed to an airport in Pickering. “A bad idea 30 years ago is still a bad idea,” she said in an interview.

Along with flowers and ribbons, other reminders of the incident in- clude tire tracks across three lawns and a swath of the tree without bark. The man died in the single-vehicle accident early Sunday morning when the driver lost control while travelling at a high rate of speed, left the roadway and hit the tree. Eight bunches of flowers had been placed at the site by Tuesday morning, with two tied to the tree in red and white ribbons. Among the messages were, “Always in our hearts: Lynn, Angie, Devon and Family,“ “Our sympathies from 40-42 Dreyer Drive: Joanne and Linda,” and “Taylor My Friend, My Cousin, My Brother, I’ll always miss u.” A 21-year-old man is facing charges following the incident. Durham police laid the charges after the man surrendered at 19 Division in Pickering several hours after the 2 a.m. crash. Witnesses told investigators a GMC Safari van had been eastbound at a high rate of speed on Dreyer Drive East. Police said witnesses saw the driver get out of the van and leave the scene on foot. Emergency workers respond- ing to the scene found a passenger with serious injuries. The 20-year-old Ajax man was pro- nounced dead at hospital; his name is being withheld at the request of his family. Richard Aldis, 21, of Strathy Road in Ajax, has been charged with criminal negligence causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. This baby wasn’t waiting for a bed Ajax hospital RNs honoured for delivering baby in a van By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — At 2 a.m. on a cold win- ter morning, pregnant Pickering resident Lindsay Wildfong woke up with back pains. “I thought, ‘It’s no big deal; I’m nine months pregnant. It happens’,” she said. She went back to sleep, but a couple of hours later realized she was in labour and was out the door by 4:15 a.m. to drop off her daughter Raye, 6, at her mother- in-law’s. But, the baby wanted out and as Ms. Wildfong and her husband, Matthew Wildfong, drove along West Shore Bou- levard en route to Bayly Street, her water broke and they heard a baby cry. Driver charged after fleeing scene of fatal crash ✦ See RNs, Page A2 ✦ See We, Page A2 Photo by Eberhardt Gerlitz Photographs are taken of a van involved in a fatal accident Sunday at 2 a.m. Durham Regional Police report the driver of the van surrendered to police several hours after the crash. A passenger in the van died after he was taken to hospital. A memorial has been set up at the scene with flowers and messages for the victim, whose name is being withheld at the request of his family. ‘A bad idea 30 years ago is still a bad idea.’ BONNIE LITTLEY By the time they reached Rouge Valley Pickering and Ajax hospi- tal, Mr. Wildfong quickly parked near the emergency entrance and rushed inside for help. Emergency department RNs Mike Gorman and Mike Paetzold ran out in the freezing cold, cut off Mrs. Wildfong’s pants and delivered Stevie, an eight-pound baby girl. Mr. Gorman said in previous situations, they would usually walk out to the car and take the mother to the maternity ward, where she would deliver her baby usually within about 24 hours. “The baby was actually half way out, crying and making noises in her pants,” Mr. Gorman said. He said all the work was ba- sically done by the time they reached the van. He and Mr. Paetzold had to direct the baby through the birth canal, pick her up and clip the cord. “It was absolutely frigid, minus 20 or 24 degrees,” he said. Mr. Gorman said the situation was challenging, especially since Ms. Wildfong was sitting upright in the passenger side of a minivan. “But we got the job done and the baby was crying, healthy, and mom was actually able to walk a couple of steps to the stretcher, believe it or not,” he said. Dr. Andrew Zohrab came into the driver’s side of the vehicle just as Mr. Gorman was cutting the umbilical cord. Mr. Gorman said he couldn’t believe how calm Ms. Wildfong was. “She made the job easier,” he said. “She was able to tell us what was happening.” Ms. Wildfong said she didn’t want to overreact and jeopardize the situation. “I really wish I had an epidu- ral,” she said, “But it really wasn’t that bad.” Now, three-month-old Stevie is a healthy baby girl. Ms. Wild- fong said the staff at the hospital were incredible and if she were to have another baby, she’d have it at Rouge Valley Pickering and Ajax. 416 869 3200 1 888 GET ON GO (438 6646) TTY 1 800 387 3652 Pour plus de renseignements, veuillez composer les numéros ci-dessus.

She explained all of these issues support a sus- tainable Pickering. “We need commercial eco- nomic growth and that’s how you can get it,” she said. Coun. Johnson said he’s been adamantly opposed to the air- port for the past 35 years. He’s concerned about the lack of fami- lies remaining in areas such as Brougham, which he pointed out only has about 30 left, mainly re- sulting from the demolishment of homes. “We have lost the heart of cen- tral Pickering,” he said. He said the frozen lands need baseball diamonds, churches and jobs - not simply the belief that a runway may be built there in the future. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles moved similar resolu- tions, including the one in 1998 stating the City’s official opposi- tion to the airport. He agreed that a public consultation is impor- tant, especially in the review, and said “the key is it’s done properly and with public input.” He also thinks the business case for the airport is not very strong and said an independent expert should review it. “They’re not doing the work that’s neces- sary to have full discussion of an airport,” he said in an interview.

Uxbridge Secondary School ranked 7.8 out of 10 on the Fraser Institute’s Report Card on Ontario Secondary Schools, released by the independent research organization April 22. At the other end of the rope, Oshawa Central scored 3.7. The report ranks Ontario schools based on seven key indicators derived from provincial tests for Grade 10 literacy and Grade 9 math, adminis- tered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). Some of the things Fraser considers include test scores, how many students wrote the test, gender gaps, and the amount of students who didn’t meet the pro- vincial standard. “It’s a snapshot, so it’s of interest, but it’s not a longitudinal study,” said Alan Nesmith, Uxbridge Secondary School principal. He noted the rating only measures a group of students in the school. “It’s of interest but it’s not something coming from EQAO,” said Mr. Nesmith. The school will make note of it, but has its own data it works from, he added. Mr. Nesmith said the school has a numeracy and literacy committee, as he believes all Durham public schools do, and Uxbridge’s includes parent representatives from the school coun- cil. “It really helps to ensure everyone’s engaged and what kind of strategy to implement,” said Mr. Nesmith. He added feeder elementary schools do the bulk of the work by preparing great graduates for high school. “It’s a complex issue,” said Mr. Ne- smith. “Many people in the commu- nity play a part in the education of a student, it reaches into the commu- nity.” Oshawa Central’s principal was un- available for comment. In Durham Region, Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School ranked the second highest with a 7.5, followed by Donald A. Wilson, 7.4, O’Neill CVI in Oshawa, 7.2, and Anderson in Whitby, 6.9. At the other end of the chain, Osha- wa’s Monsignor John Pereyma ranked 4.4, followed by G.L. Roberts CVI and Dr. F.J. Donevan CI, both at 4.5, and Blackstock’s Cartwright High School with 4.6. In a press release, Peter Cowley, the Fraser Institute’s director of school performance studies and co-author of the report card, said seeing what other schools accomplish can be useful to each school’s on-going improvement efforts. Chris Hurst, a Durham Catholic District School Board superintendent, said the board has various programs and studies in place to see how schools are doing and implement improve- ment strategies. “The Fraser Report really doesn’t give us valuable information at this time,” said Mr. Hurst. He added it re- peats what EQAO says. “It’s telling us what we already know and doing it in a comparative format that we don’t see any value in.” Mr. Hurst added provincial testing only provides a snapshot in time. “It changes every year,” said Mr. Hurst. He said it’s not a precise measure, and that’s why they have report cards and other things with more detailed in- formation on how a student is doing. Luigia Ayotte, a Durham District School Board superintendent, said the public board uses a lot of different cri- teria to address school needs. Over the past few years, it’s deployed staff and provided various programs to address individual student needs, but you wouldn’t see that in the Fraser Report, she said. She added the insti- tute has never asked the board about things such as school population and available programs. All the informa- tion provided in the report is available through EQAO and census data infor- mation, she said. “We know what programs need to be supported,” said Ms. Ayotte. She said they have all sorts of partnerships with the community, including college and university, to help students succeed. Ms. Ayotte said various schools have different strengths and it’s important to look at the schools on an individual basis and contact them with any ques- tions. Ms. Ayotte said administrators will have more specific information than what’s provided through Fraser. Although Ms. Ayotte reads the Fra- ser Report, she doesn’t put much cred- ibility into the ranking, she said. pickeringtowncentre.com FIND YOUR SPRING STYLE Saturday, April 28th at Centre Court Show t imes: 1pm & 3pm Join us for an afternoon of fun & fashion.

Clarke Richardson - 6.7 Ajax High School - 6.3 Archbishop Pickering High School - 6.2 Denis O’Connor - 5.6 Notre Dame - 5.3 Fraser ranking for Pickering schools Dunbarton - 6.7 Pine Ridge - 4.7 St. Mary - 4.7 Durham College and UOIT accessible from GO stations as of June By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Durham’s transit bud- get got the green light, meaning invest- ments in service enhancements, new staffing, facilities and expanding and renewing its fleet. But it also entails fare increases. The 2007 budget, said Ted Galinis, Durham Region Transit’s (DRT) gener- al manager, builds on the groundwork done in the system’s inaugural year. Approved by Regional Council on April 18, the $27.5-million budget represents a $2.6-million increase in spending over 2006. Council also approved an increase in fares effective July 1, 2007. An aver- age increase of seven per cent in all fare categories, except co-fare, means an adult fare is increasing by 25 cents to $2.75, the senior fare to $1.75 and students to $2.50. The transit tax impact varies by community. In Clarington it will cost residents $187 while in Uxbridge it works out to $65 on the tax bill. All the other municipalities in the Region fall between the two. “We worked in some new route ex- pansions, something for each of the municipalities,” Mr. Galinis said. Beginning in June, both Taunton and Rossland service to Durham College (DC) and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology (UOIT) is being extended to the Ajax and Pickering GO stations, integrating the current Campus 101 service. “That’s the big- gest thing, our Rossland/Taunton belt line is being split and we are going to blend in our Durham 101 so the two will be merged with additional buses,” Mr. Galinis explained.

The Water & Wastewater Master Plan is being prepared in accordance with the master planning provisions of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. Based on these planning provisions, alternative water & wastewater servicing strategies are being identified and evaluated based on an assessment of the following factors: Natural Environment Cultural Environment Social Environment Regulatory Requirements Economic Environment Technical Feasibility An initial set of Public Information Centres (PICs) was held in June 2006 to introduce the study. A second set of PICs is being held at the following locations to outline the alternative water and wastewater servicing strategies being considered, and receive public input to assist with the identification of a preferred servicing strategy: Tuesday, May 1, 2007, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sunderland Memorial Arena, 20 Park Street, Sunderland; and, Wednesday, May 2, 2007, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Durham Region Headquarters, Main Floor – Room 1B, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby. (Please enter through the main doors on the west side of the building). Durham Region staff, as well as study consultants, will be available to answer questions. We encourage your attendance at either of these PICs to help us identify the issues that are important to you. A final set of PICs will be held later in 2007 to present the preferred servicing strategy. At the completion of the study, a comprehensive Water & Wastewater Master Plan will be filed for public review.

YOU’RE INVITED TO AN OPEN HOUSE You are invited to attend our third Environmental Assessment Open House to discuss Ontario Power Generation’s work on the potential refurbishment and continued operation of the Pickering B nuclear generating station. Refurbishment involves replacing major reactor components to extend the operating life of the reactors for an additional 30 years.An Environmental Assessment (EA) will help with the early identification of any potentially significant environmental effects from refurbishment and continued operation. It also ensures appropriate mitigation measures are identified early in decision-making. The Open Houses will present some preliminary findings of our EA studies, the feedback from community and stakeholder consultations to date and next steps in the EA review and approval process. OPG staff and expert consultants will be on hand to share information about the project,answer your questions and discuss next steps in the process.We look forward to seeing you there.

An air ambulance landed on the 401 at Whites Road to airlift the woman, who sustained serious but non life-threatening injuries, to Sunnybrook hospital, Whitby OPP said. Traffic in the core and collector lanes of the eastbound 401 was shut down after the 6:45 a.m. accident. Lanes were reopened shortly after 8 a.m. Law Day opens courts to elementary students By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The accused was shackled with handcuffs several sizes too big. The complainant was barely visible in the witness box as he peered out meekly at the packed benches of the courtroom before him. The charge was threatening, allegedly the culmination of months of bullying. The verdict was guilty. And now 10-year-old Dylan, who glanced back over his shoul- der as he was led away by police officers, will remain on strict bail conditions while he awaits a sen- tencing hearing next month be- fore Superior Court Justice Mar- garet Scott. The good news is that it was all a play, scripted and acted out in front of dozens of squirming, whispering Grade 5 students from Durham Region. What’s bad news is that the theme -- bullying -- is one so many of them are painfully aware of. We lcome to Law Day 2007, when last Wednesday the courts were opened once again to youngsters attending elemen- tary schools across the region. An annual event, the day shows youngsters how the justice sys- tem works and encourages them to fulfill their duty as citizens by being aware of the law and what it means to their everyday lives. Indeed, in addressing the chil- dren soon after being ushered into the cavernous Courtroom 1 at the Superior Court building in Whitby, Madame Justice Scott told the students even judges must continually study the law to keep up with changes to legisla- tion and its effects on the admin- istration of justice. “Judges have to learn how the law has evolved,” she told them. “It’s constantly changing. The law is a living thing because it deals with people and society.” Justice Scott used as an exam- ple a new law outlawing cyber- bullying. “There’s an example of how the law changes literally from one week to the next.” The mock trial played out for the kids no doubt had reso- nance for many. Young Dylan was arrested and charged as they watched, then sent immediately for trial. The Crown questioned the victim, Robert, who said he’d been at a park with Dylan and another pal when a girl both of them liked walked by. Robert ran up and informed the girl of Dylan’s so-far unspoken admira- tion, the judge heard. It was after this, according to Robert, that Dylan attacked threatening to kill Robert. He said the incident was one of a number of bullying episodes he’d suffered at Dylan’s hands. Dylan took the stand in his own defence, denying the threat but admitting to a previous bul- lying of Robert, to whom he re- ferred as “a nerd.” The judge didn’t believe Dylan, who was found guilty as charged. During the presentation the children were addressed by a number of other people involved in the justice system, including family court workers and repre- sentatives of the victim and wit- ness support offices. And they heard from Durham police Chief Vernon White, who urged the youngsters to recog- nize bullying and what it repre- sents. “We don’t respect ourselves when we act in that way,” he said. “All of us want to be respected for who we are and what we think and do.” NE044G407 ©2007.

Since their re-introduction to Ontario several years ago, the Wild Turkey has flourished. But, you don’t have to tell that to George and Nancy Wraight of Ajax. The couple, who live on Rideout Street, was amazed to see four of the big birds recently. One flew over the hedge onto their front lawn while three more simply walked through the hedge opening. When Mr. Wraight told the story to his brother in Tonawanda, New York, the latter was amazed, since a day earlier he had tried to get four turkeys off the road to save them from being hit.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR People more important that things To the editor: Re: ‘Inhumane’ theft of Easter gifts, April 15 News Advertiser. Of course, I can understand that this must have been disap- pointing and disheartening for both the parents and children. But was it inhumane? As we all know, there is trag- edy all around us – locally and globally. When did stolen Eas- ter candy become so heinous a crime? Yes, property was dam- aged but lives were not. We live in a town where, for the most part, we can sleep at night know- ing that we and our families are relatively safe. Perhaps what’s inhumane (cruel, brutal, merciless) is when we continue as a society to place more value on things than we do on our quality of life or even the value of life itself. The article also made refer- ence to the police not caring – they care every day they put on their uniform, badge and side arm in order to protect our com- munity and our families from the real dangers that loom in the night. This is not an attack on any- one, just a wake up call to all of us. Our children, our family, our friends are more important than anything that someone can take from us. Audrey Britton Ajax Thanks for the support To the editor: The family of Corporal Brent Donald Poland, killed in Af- ghanistan on April 8, 2007, would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the over- whelming support our commu- nity, province and country has given to us in our difficult time. We were amazed and over- whelmed to see the support of the people who stood outside in that cold rain on Wednesday, April 11, 2007, as we and the five other families brought our loved ones back to Toronto after the repatriation ceremony in Tren- ton. To see the police officers, standing at attention all along the 401, the firefighters, am- bulance crews and civilians standing on the overpasses with flags waving, the way the police cleared our 24-plus-car convoy through the streets of Toronto, really made us proud to be Ca- nadian and living in this great country. We were also informed that many of the police officers and we suspect the fire crews also, did this for us on their own time. Yo ur kindness to us, while it doesn’t bring Brent back, helps to take away a bit of the great hurt that we feel. Thank you all so very much. The Poland family Sarnia Heroes deserve thanks To the editor: I was driving my son’s friend home recently when I noticed a long line of police cars on the 401 as well as a couple of men draping a Canadian flag over the Mill Street 401 bridge. When I asked the occasion, I was solemnly told of two of the soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan who were being driven home from Trenton to Toronto. With war geographically so far away we oftentimes forget the reality that we are at war. This war will either be on our doorsteps or in another country but the hard reality is we are at war. A nation cannot decide not be at war when other nations and peoples are wanting to ex- terminate them. So to these selfless, brave he- roes who died for our freedom, I thank you. I thank you for the country in which I live. For you are more a part of it than I will ever be.

I taught high school for a few years and I always thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from my PD day lectures and workshops. It’s a pity we all don’t take PD days. I believe a truly civilized country would offer PD days to its citizens at least once a month. And I’m not even talk- ing about career enhancement. I just think a lot of us could use one day a month to learn how to be a better human. We could call them personal development days. Wouldn’t it be grand if our government picked up the tab for a monthly lecture on “Art ap- preciation,” “Medieval history,” or “Small engine repair?” Imagine a federally sanc- tioned and tax-deductible day off to spend in the museum or gallery of your choice. How nice would that be? Of course I may be putting the cart slightly ahead of the horse. Perhaps I need to scale my am- bitions down a tad. Before we can get folks lined up for a Pi- casso exhibit or a Hemingway lecture we may need to intro- duce a few more offerings at the applied level. Still, there’s undoubtedly great merit in a workshop entitled “Stop driving like a jerk,” “Aim for the Bowl,” or “Understanding the Comb.” We’re all stumbling through this life at our own pace after all, so why not a day set aside to review some basic, but nonethe- less useful, skills. What would be wrong with “Your dog, your crap!” “How to get the cars off your front lawn,” or the simple but very impor- tant, “Should you procreate?” I think we all know folks who might benefit greatly from such offerings. There are also a whole host of life skills that all of us, for any number of reasons, seem to need constant refreshers on. The following should be nation- ally mandatory at least once a year: “Listening 101.” “The Gentle art of Thank You.” “A pologizing for Dummies.” “Beyond your navel.” “Get the hell over it.” “You married him/her.” Finally I think we might em- ploy a kind of mentoring system. Each of us, at whichever stage of evolution we’re at, has some- thing to offer. The trick would be in establishing a database of sorts that would allow people to pair up in mutually beneficial ways. Bob is a sensitive, intel- ligent man with a thriving home business that nets him six fig- ures. He has a difficult time, however, meeting women. Rug- gedly handsome Carlos doesn’t have the brains to pound sand down a rat hole, but he does have a day-planner teeming with steamy assignations. I’m sure the two of them could spend a very profitable day together. Likewise, Delpheen has a PhD in the Classics and can quote Chaucer chapter and verse but she couldn’t put a matching outfit together to save her life. Babs, thinks a thesaurus was a giant meat-eater, but with a little fabric, a belt and the right shoes she could make Eleanor Roosevelt turn heads. One hand washes the other. I like the concept of the PD day. We came into this world learning. It would be nice to go out the same way. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns Follow Neil’s BLOG drinfo.ca/croneblog.html.. Neil Crone enter laughing Be aware of odd behaviour in our midst P erhaps the most troubling issue surrounding the Virginia Tech shootings, in which 23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho shot 27 fellow university students and five faculty members dead nine days ago, was that some people saw it coming but nobody did anything to stop it. In fairness, acting against any person in our free western society is difficult at best, but it seems few did anything to deal with Mr. Cho’s obvious extreme, anti-social, psychopathic behaviour. Here was a man who had spent three-and-a-half years at university and had been sent to a mental hospital because the judge who con- victed him in a case where he was charged with stalking two female students, felt he was a danger to others. Aside from a few teachers who worried about him, nothing else was done. Most upsetting of all is that he was able to buy two automatic weap- ons and scads of ammunition using his own ID, barely a year after being an outpatient at a local mental institution. It seems nearly everybody he met felt Mr. Cho was somebody else’s problem. That he was ill seems clear from statements made by those who had contact with him in high school and throughout university, a period spanning nearly eight long years. Fear about copycats or those who see the Columbine high school shooters as heroes, has touched our area recently. Worry about threats made to shoot up Clarington Central Secondary School led many parents to keep their children home last Friday. Police learned about the threat several weeks ago and the student who made the threat was charged. School shootings leave us all wondering what could have or should have been done. Why didn’t Mr. Cho get the help he needed? Why was it so very easy for him to get ammunition and weapons even though he had been charged and was declared a danger to others? Aside from making the procurement of weapons and ammunition as difficult as possible and ensuring security is effective at secondary and post-secondary institutions, parents can do their part by keep- ing close tabs on their children. Don’t ignore the warning signs of extreme behaviour. Keep en- gaged with your child. Make sure you know what’s going on. Don’t be a stranger. Yo u never know what could happen. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com City gymnast called to the hall Larissa Lowing-Libby inducted into Whitby Sports Hall of Fame By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Perhaps the Whitby Sports Hall of Fame likes the thought of its inductees doing back flips when they get the call to join. Whatever the reason, there is cer- tainly a trend emerging as the Hall gets set to induct its third gymnast at the 11th annual gala at the Heyden- shore Pavilion Saturday. Actually there’s a very good rea- son: Whitby has produced several elite athletes in the sport. That list includes Larissa Lowing- Libby, who will join Lori Strong and Christina McDonald inducted before her. The trouble with Lowing, as she was known in these parts prior to leaving for college at 18, is that she is now torn about attending Satur- day’s ceremony. It has nothing to do with not wanting to be here, but more a matter of want- ing to be in two places at one time. Now the head gymnastics coach at the University of Iowa, Low- ing has guided her first athlete to the national championships. She will join Katie Burke in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the first day of competition Thursday, but would miss Saturday’s final if she reaches it. “I will not be there if she qualifies for finals, which is gut-wrenching and heart-wrenching,” Lowing said during a telephone interview. “She is my first ever and only the fourth in the history of our school to qualify.” Lowing, who started her gymnas- tics career at Gemini Gymnastics in Oshawa, committed to coming to the induction ceremony about a year ago. The fact that she is sticking to that commitment speaks volumes. “It’s not an honour that you take lightly,” she said. “My career was spe- cial to me, but it’s not something that I often talk about. To be honoured for all of my accomplishments, even at this point in my lifetime, is very, very special to me.” Now 34 and married to Chad Libby, whom she met while on scholarship at Louisiana State University, Lowing became one of Canada’s most suc- cessful gymnasts in the late-1980s. A resident of Whitby and Pickering and a graduate of Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax, she won a junior national cham- pionship in 1986, competed at world championships in 1987 and 1989, the Commonwealth Games in 1990 and the Olympic Summer Games in Seoul, South Korea in 1988, where she battled shin splints. Lowing was named Canadian Gymnast of the Year in 1989 and 1990 before moving on to LSU, where she served as team captain all four years she was there and finished her collegiate career by winning the 1995 NCAA Central Regional bars title. She will be inducted Saturday along with Keith Primeau, Dave Imeson and the deceased Gordon Hawes. Saturday’s ceremony begins with cocktails at 6 p.m. For ticket infor- mation, call Carl McFarlane at 905- 430-3817.

Tiller’s club boxers battle to team crown Ajax fighters punch up six gold medals at Ray McGibbon’s Gloves AJAX — After 20 years as a boxing coach, Chris Tiller and his boxers achieved a significant milestone at a prestigious event last weekend. The club sent 10 fighters to the Ray McGibbon’s Gloves boxing event in St. Catharines, with six returning with gold and two more earning sil- ver. It was the biggest ever contingent from Tiller’s to attend the prestigious, novice-level boxing card. Best of all, the team was awarded the coveted team award among a long list of Ontario teams that par- ticipated this year. Tiller is over the moon in delight at the performances of his fighters that culminated in the team award. “We were a dominant force to be reckoned with. I wanted the team award so bad and they went out and won it for me,” says Tiller. In the senior novice category, Mo- hammed Awad earned gold in the 64- kilogram weight class after a referee stopped contest (RSC) in the first round against Mark Colucci of the Atlas Boxing Club. In his first fight, Awad squeezed past Tristan Jean- Gilles of the Fighting Alliance Boxing Club 19-17 on points. Also in senior novice, Brandon Cook won gold after his oppo- nent in the 69- kilogram weight class final with- drew for medi- cal reasons. In his earlier bout, Cook defeated Derek Lennox from the BEL Boxing Club in a second round RSC. Brock Arthur left little doubt who was the superior fighter in the main event fight, the 91-kilogram heavy- weight gold-medal senior novice final against Kuliev Tamirlan, a Eu- ropean boxer. Arthur knocked out his opponent and the bout was scored as a third-round RSC. In his earlier bout, Arthur handled Dylan Krysko of Timmins on an first-round RSC. In the cadet ‘B’ division, Britney Borja earned an RSC over Alicia Kow- alski of the Regency Boxing Club to capture the gold medal in the 60-ki- logram weight class. In the junior division, Melinda Wa tpool captured gold in the 75- kilogram weight class after dom- inating Ariel Garneau of the Atlas Boxing Club in a first- round RSC. In her first-round bout, Watpool defeated Loni Powell of the Firepower Box- ing Club in a first-round RSC. Sherhea ‘Sugar Ray’ Serieaux was involved in one of the closest gold- medal bouts of the card, facing Bran- don Carroll of the McGrory’s Boxing Club in the cadet ‘C’ 75-kilogram weight class. The combatants tied on points at the end of the match. To break the tie, a countback of punches landed was used, with Serieaux win- ning 98-82. The bout was named as the best of the weekend. In his first-round match against Tyrone Izzard of the Halverson-Top Glove club, Serieaux posted a third- round RSC to move into the gold- medal match for the weight catego- ry. Also in the cadet ‘C’ division, Til- ler’s Ahmed Karatella earned a sil- ver medal in the 52-kilogram weight class, losing to David Palacios of the Whip Boxing Club 17-13 on points. Palacios was later named as the best boxer of the tournament. Karatella faced Cedric Parina of the Fighting Alliance in his first-round bout, winning on a second-round RSC. Kw incy Athana won silver in the se- nior novice category after losing the 54-kilogram weight class final to Don Perrault of the Uptown Boxing Club 18-12 on points. Athana advanced to the gold-medal bout after earning a first-round RSC over Matthew Milner of Niagara. In his first fight, Athana defeated Jeff Kappes of the Atlas Box- ing Club 21-7 on points. Mart Puhm lost his first-round se- nior novice 75-kilogram bout to Ryan Baulk of St. Catharines. Adrian Jones lost to Christian O’Brien of the Whip Boxing Club in the senior novice 81-kilogram weight class.

Andrew Ruck and coaches Geoff Whent and Wayne Parro represented Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School, while Evan Grills of Whitby’s Henry Street High School and Jacob Featherstone of Ajax High School also had a chance to strut their stuff. Major League Baseball, Baseball Canada and Mizuno Canada hosted the event, featuring some of the top 15- and 16-year-old baseball players in the country. The select group of aspiring big leaguers received on-field instruction from coaching and scouting staffs of the To r onto Blue Jays, Major League Baseball and Baseball Canada. The players were put through fun- damental skills training designed by the coaching staffs that include hitting, pitch- ing, infielding, outfielding, catching and baserunning. On the final day of camp, par ticipants competed in a Canada East versus Canada West intra-squad game. In addition to the on-field training, the young men took part in a series of life skills classroom seminars on topics such as proper nutrition, career goal planning, strength and conditioning, and injury pre- vention and rehabilitation. Past players who have participated in the Mizuno Junior Elite Camp include cur- rent Major Leaguers Adam Loewen of the Baltimore Orioles and Russell Martin of the Los Angeles Dodgers. [ Volleyball ] DRVC girls capture provincial gold DURHAM — The Durham Region Volleyball Club’s 17U girls’ volleyball team captured the gold medal and the provincial title in Barrie. It was a weekend of great volleyball, excitement and lots of adrenaline and the DRVC girls were pumped and ready. Af ter coming first in pool play, beat- ing the Stingers 29-27, 25-13, Attack Black 16U 25-13, 25-13, and the Stingrays 25-15, 16-25, 17-15, DRVC went on to win their first cross-over match against Pakmen 25-20, 25-21, setting the stage for Sunday. DRVC took the first match of the day against the Ottawa Capitals, the third seeded team, 25-20 and 25-22. Semifinals were nothing short of exciting and exhila- rating against the top-seeded team, the Scarborough Vipers. The Vipers put up a tremendous battle, but with DRVC’s un- wavering determination and skill, the DRVC girls were triumphant, 17-25, 25-20, 15-9. In the final, DRVC dominated and claimed the gold medal by conquering Attack Black and White, 18-25, 25-22 and 15-11. All of the DRVC 17U girls were out- standing in their efforts and determination the entire tournament. With coach Gerald Brunt at the helm, the victory represented DRVC 17U’s third gold medal this year. The girls leave for the Canadian National Championships in Vancouver from May 4 to 6.

Dunlops fall to Lloydminster in Allan Cup final Whitby’s 4-3 loss to Border Kings ends season in disappointment By Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM — For the second time in as many years, the Whitby Dunlops experienced heart- break at the Allan Cup. And this time it really stings. The Dunlops allowed the Lloydminster Border Kings to score three second period goals to grab a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes in Saturday’s final, a deficit that proved to be too much to overcome in a 4-3 loss. After enduring a 7-1 defeat to the host Powell River Regals in last year’s final, this pill, a one-goal loss in a game they could just as well have won, is an unfortunate one to swallow. “The guys, they never stopped working. It’s been like that all year. The commitment from the guys has been first rate,” said Dunlops coach Mike Posavad. “It hurts, it hurts right now. And I don’t even think we’ll realize how much it hurts for a few days actually.” Lloydminster opened the scoring in the first period on a goal from Scott Hood. The Border Kings’ captain picked Mike VanVolsen’s pocket just inside the Dunlops’ blueline before racing in shorthanded and beating Chad Ford on a tidy deke to the stick side. Justin Cardwell evened the score at 1-1 late in the period with his fifth goal of the tournament. In the second, Matt Cardwell scored to give the Dunlops a brief 2-1 lead, before Lloydminster exploded for three unanswered in the period. Scott Wagner scored first, while Dallas and Dalyn Fa llscheer followed that with a goal each, giving the Border Kings a two-goal advantage heading into the third. Early on, the Dunnies made it interesting as Jay McAuley registered his second of the week at 2:14 to cut the lead. But that was it. The Dunlops had ample opportunities to tie the game, including on a power play with under eight minutes remaining, but their prayers went unanswered. Shayne McCosh picked up an assist in the final, upping his Allan Cup totals to 2-7-9, tops in the tournament. Cardwell and Scott McCrory had eight points, while Peter MacKellar and Ron Baker picked up seven each. Blank host team in final DURHAM — The Durham West Lightning atom ‘B’ girls’ rep hockey team proved too much for host Sudbury in bringing the gold medal back from the recent Sudbury Wolves Hockey Tourna- ment. The Lightning dominated the final from the opening faceoff until the final whistle to post a decisive 2-0 victory over Sudbury. Team captain Lauren Webley scored both goals. Goaltender Olivia Kuzmich earned the shutout. The Durham West atoms opened up against Sudbury, playing to a 1-1 draw. Caitlyn Quar- tarone, assisted by Alex Wong and Holly Nichol- son, scored the sole goal for Durham. In Game 2, the Lightning faced the Sudbury Wolves again, posting a 1-0 victory. Julia Rustico connected for the lone goal of the game. Next, Durham West faced the North Bay Ice Bolts, winning by a 1-0 count. Sierra Davidson scored the winning goal and Kuzmich earned her second shutout of the tournament. Having already secured a spot in the final, the Durham West coaching staff shook up the lines and let the girls play other positions in Game 3 against North Bay. Chelsey Ogston, who’s nor- mally a forward, strapped on the pads for the first time this season to play net to allow Kuzmich to rest for the final. Despite a 2-1 loss, the Lightning played hard. Webley scored the lone Durham West goal unassisted on a rush from the defence position. The offence was supported by many scoring opportunities from Julia Corcoran, Meghan Pri- mosig and Chelsey Ogston while the strong de- fence corps was made up of Christina Calderon, Hilary Fraser, Ainsley Johnston, Madison See- ley and Sara Vanderkaden, which contributed to minimal goals against. Michaela Quirk and Rachel Paul were missed at the tournament. Mark Johnston coaches the team, assisted by Ian Davidson and Tom Quirk. Monica Nicholson and Mary Ann Calderon are the trainers and Su- zanne Vanderkaden is the manager.

To day, he’s about to head in a dif- ferent direction and direct his first feature film, a horror movie called Dwellers. Before he begins production, he’s returning to Oshawa for a comedy night, a fundraiser to help pay for the film. On May 5, Carswell, who performs at comedy sketch shows throughout To ronto, will host the show at Club Loreley, 389 Dean Ave., starting at 8 p.m. Many of the performers will be former cast members of The Carswell Show. Carswell said the show will be a great time for everyone. Tickets are $10 and are available by going to www.dwellersmovie@hotmail.com. A very limited number of tickets may be available at the door. Filming for Dwellers starts in July in Actinolite, north of Tweed, on Hwy. 7. “It’s my directorial debut for a hor- ror movie,” he said. “This film kind of came out of a short story I had written a few years ago.” The film will be a creature fea- ture, telling of young people who are camping in the woods and run afoul of a tree-like creature which, one by one, turns people into cannibalistic feeders in order that they can feed the mother creature. Carswell said that other than the young people camping in the woods, the usual horror cliches will be ab- sent from his film. “The tree creature has never been done in a horror film,” he said. “I like to think the viewers are in for a little bit of a rollercoaster ride.” His film is set to appear in several film festivals in late 2007 and early 2008. Broadcasters are also interested in the film, he added, and there’s talk of a DVD release. Some of the cast members include former Carswell Show members, including Jan Michael Pollard and Shane Pollard, who plays the crea- ture. The production crew includes sev- eral Durham residents.

The group of senior singers and dancers take to the stage April 29 with ‘S Wonderful, a tribute to George and Ira Gershwin, with shows at 2:30 and 7 p.m. at Northview Community Centre in Oshawa. The songs are some of the Gershwins’ best, in- cluding Strike Up the Band, Embraceable You, I’ve Got Rhythm, Love Walked In, ‘S Wonderful, The Man I Love, said director Joan Buckingham. In her fifth season with the Troubadours, Buck- ingham has been the piano accompanist for the last four shows. She’s played for shows and watched them put in hours of rehearsal. “I know each and every one of them and have admired them,” she said. When an opportunity came along to direct this show, she took it. She’d done a show in London about eight years ago and thought it could be re- worked, “tailored and fine-tuned” for the Trouba- dours. Over the years, and over cups of tea after rehears- als, she’s talked to the Troubadours and heard of their love for show tunes and movie music. “I like the golden age of music myself,” she said. The show includes some comedy, some dancing, with choreography by Brenda Hancock, and lots of singing, Buckingham said. And there are the big “boffo” numbers, as the cast members call them, she added. To get ready for the show, the six men and 15 women rehearse 7.5 hours a week, three days a week and have been doing that since January. “They are so dedicated they do not take a break at rehearsals. It’s what amazed me four years ago,” Buckingham said. “They don’t get in a dither if you run a number over and over. “It’s their 15th major troubadour show. All of them bring their previous backgrounds with them. They bring experience in dancing and singing and theatre.” Tickets are $15 including refreshments and are available at both Oshawa Senior Citizens Centre, on John Street and at Northview, Beatrice Street East.
