Overall, there were 3,650 appli- cants on the waiting list at the end of 2007. Of those, 237 had special priority, meaning that at least one member of the household is being abused by someone with whom they currently live or from whom they have recently separated. Non- priority applicants are placed on the list chronologically. The average wait in the Region was 30 months for those without priority and seven months for those with it. A total of 454 households received rent-geared-to-income housing last year. The housing crunch was felt most steeply in the west end of the region. Families without priority waited an average of 67 months or five-and-a-half years, for housing in Ajax. In Pickering and Uxbridge, no non-priority families were housed in 2007. About 50 per cent of the Region’s available housing is in Oshawa, with 15 per cent in Whitby, 10 per cent in Ajax, nine per cent in Pickering, eight per cent in Clarington and three per cent or less in each of Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock. Mary Menzies, acting director social housing for Durham Region, said long waits often force tough decisions on families. “For a lot of families, they’re choosing between feeding their children or paying their rent that month,” said Ms. Menzies, adding that kind of hardship creates a tre- mendous amount of stress on the family. At just more than two years, seniors had the shortest average wait. Singles and couples with no chil- dren had the longest. Part of the problem is there is very little turnover in homes for single people or couples with no children, said Ms. Menzies. Anoth- er part is social housing has been traditionally geared toward fami- lies and seniors. “It was only in the late 1980s singles were even considered eli- gible for social housing,” said Ms. Menzies. Singles and couples represent 32 per cent of the social housing waiting list, but they represented only 12 per cent of those actually housed in 2007. That’s down two per cent from last year. Even for singles with priority, the average wait was 13 months. “It’s still a very long time for someone living in a situation where their safety is in jeopardy,” said Ms. Menzies, adding that Durham’s network of shelters do a great deal to help. There was, however, a 39 per cent decline in special priority de- mand from last year. That was a result of administrative clean up of STORYTIME IS FAMILY TIME Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo AJAX — The Williams family came from Pickering to sit in on Storytime at the Ajax Public Library’s main branch on Thursday.

Announced last week, the centre is a col- laborative effort among the automaker, the University of Ontario Institute of Technolo- gy, the provincial and federal governments, and others in the industry. Costing more than $120 million, construction is under way and should be completed by late 2009. “We have to have this collaborative inter- est between industry and academia,” Mr. DesRosiers said. The centre is the second largest such venture in Canada in terms of dollar value, he says. The top was an $800-million deal between Chrysler and the University of Windsor. “It’s very significant. We have the oppor- tunity in Canada for every single blue-col- lar job to be replaced by high-quality jobs,” he noted. The number of jobs created by the centre will be minimal, but the research potential is huge, he stated. “It helps secure jobs at the GM design centre,” he said. “This fits in quite nicely. It’s very significant, very significant.” Greg Rohrauer, an associate professor at UOIT and the academic director for ACE, said about “20 full-time equivalent employ- ees” will be created. What the centre will do is provide stu- dents with the chance to do hands-on re- search. “There’s a very strong practical angle to it,” Mr. Rohrauer said. “It will improve prod- uct development. It will keep industry here very strong.” Once completed, the centre will have state-of-the-art research and development tools for such things as vehicle dynamics, noise and vibration, and structural durabil- ity testing. There will also be a wind tunnel that will be able to simulate conditions of -40 C. The ACE will give researchers the op- portunity to work on future fuels, such as hydrogen. Arturo Elias, president of General Motors Canada, said placing the centre in Oshawa is a natural extension for the company. GM is “centred here in Oshawa. We’re very proud of that. We have a long history and we’re proud of this relationship with the university,” Mr. Arturo said in an inter- view. “I think this is in an important day for all of us. It’s important for General Motors, it’s important for the university, it’s impor- tant for Ontario and Canada.” He concurred with Mr. DesRosiers’s as- sessment of the importance of having the centre. “It’s a very big step, in my mind, towards developing a research environment,” Mr. Arturo stated. “We can have our best minds here in Canada educated and working to- wards commercial automotive technolo- gies. It’s the key to the future. “In the next several years, we have to make cars that are more fuel effi- cient, more en- vironmentally friendly. We are going to need these tech- nologies, so this is an important day for all of us,” he added. The making of cars is “headed to a high- technology industry,” Mr. Elias said. Mr. DesRosiers agreed, saying the indus- try will have to invest heavily in technology, “double of the last decade.” He notes governments have set the target of vehicles getting 35 miles to the gallon. “That’s one big problem factor,” he noted, adding it’s exacerbated by the refusal of American consumers to drive smaller ve- hicles. Americans, Mr. DesRosiers said, have de- cided “‘we won’t downsize’. They’ll buy fuel efficient, but they won’t compromise size. Those are two irresistible forces. The only way to deal with it, technology is the only way.” GM is contributing $60 million to ACE, while the provincial government is giv- ing $58 million. The federal government is contributing towards the $1-million annual cost of creating a Chair of Innovative De- sign Engineering. Dr. Remon Pop-Iliev, an associate pro- fessor at UOIT, will serve as the chairman. Sandra Pupatello, the provincial eco- nomic develop- ment and trade minister, was on hand for the announce- ment, saying in an interview that GM is “global. When it looks at where it has a foot- print around the world, they look to where centres of excellence are and ‘where do we need to be?’” Ontario has “the highest skilled work- force in OECD (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) coun- tries.” That’s important, she notes, because it means industries will have “access to the best tools, best qualities they need.” Auto21, a centre of excellence in Wind- sor, where Ms. Pupatello is from, is “critical. It feeds the whole suppliers chain. They come in on innovation. They use technolo- gies to make better parts.” Given GM’s dominant position in the field, having ACE will enable the company to stay ahead of the competition. “Everyone is trying to cut your grass,” is how she described the situation. The centre, Mr. Elias said during the an- nouncement, “will ensure we have the best and brightest engineers. “The new ACE will be the foundation of new auto cluster,” he stated, adding that the partnership with other universities and companies will “accelerate automotive in- novation. “The new centre will focus on innovation and excellence. It’s a great step forward. It’s a critical step forward,” he stated. Doug Lindeblom, the director of eco- nomic development for Durham Region, said the future is “all about clustering.” Durham will be “identified as (an auto- motive) cluster. It has huge attraction to the rest of the auto industry worldwide.” Having the centre “positions us in a unique way, from a provincial perspective, national perspective and even and inter- national perspective. It’s really what we look for in economic development is that unique position,” Mr. Lindeblom said. “It reinforces many of our strengths. Au- tomotive, manufacturing, energy and the environment. All these strengths we see in Durham Region today are embodied in this facility, this centre of excellence,” he noted. “There’s recognition in Durham Region we are the centre of excellence for automotive manufacturing. We are the cen- tre. It’s something we can market out to the world.” Last week, Mr. Lindeblom led a contin- gent from a Japanese manufacturer looking for a facility in Durham Region. The manu- facturer wasn’t in the automotive industry. “During the tour, they asked about GM and they’re comment was GM was in trou- ble,” he said. “What we know going on with the Bea- con Project, with the Automotive Centre of Excellence. Me and our staff with economic development, with real estate brokers. GM and the provincial and federal governments are investing here. This is the place where the future of automotive manufacturing is happening,” he stated. With the university and other partners, “it’s because of things like this (ACE), we were able to deliver an extremely positive message to an international manufacturer. That’s what this does, it positions us,” he added. “This announcement is confirmation, undeniably, makes us the centre of excel- lence for auto manufacturing,” Mr. Lindeb- lom noted. “These things bring investment. The wind tunnel is important to others. It’s important to the aviation industry, energy sector. The wind tunnel has a whole range of possibilities. Companies are going to want to be close to this facility.” Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo UOIT president Ronald Bordessa and Sandra Pupatello, Ontario Minister of Economic Develop- ment and Trade, share a laugh prior to the announcement of the new GMLC Automotive Centre of Excellence to be built on the university’s campus by 2009. ‘If we want a Canadian auto industry in 2020, we have to do this.’ -- DENNIS DESROSIERS, AUTO INDUSTRY ANALYST Durham Region looking for ecological overachievers in Ajax, Pickering DURHAM — Nominations are now being accepted for the 2008 Environmental Achieve- ment Awards.

Durham police said the Rapid Taxi driver picked up four males in the area of Kingston and Altona roads at about 3:30 a.m. Satur- day. He took them to the in- tersection of Chickadee Street and Sparrow Circle, where the attack occurred. One of the males grabbed the cabbie in a choke hold while another struck him repeatedly with a bottle and a third produced a knife, police said. The thugs fled with the driver’s cellphone, pager and cash. Responding police, in- cluding a canine team, followed footprints in the snow to a nearby residence, where they were invited in by the homeowner. Officers arrested the homeowner’s son and found three other males in the basement, where they were pretend- ing to be asleep. Items stolen from the cabbie were found in the residence.

Cops waiting when he comes to court By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A man cur- rently being held on charg- es for a shooting last year in Ajax has been linked to a 2005 shooting that blinded a Toronto bus driver. After a lengthy investiga- tion into the shooting of the bus driver, Malcolm Chalm- ers, who was in Oshawa last week for a court appearance on the Durham charges, was charged by Toronto police with attempted murder and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence. Police allege the Toronto man was among a group of young men who became involved in an altercation on a Toronto Transit Com- mission bus at Morningside Avenue and Sewells Road just before midnight on Oct. 15, 2005. Shots were fired and the driver, 41-year-old Jamie Pereira, was struck in the face; he was blinded in one eye and has lost much of his sight in the other. The 21-year-old Mr. Chalmers was arrested by Durham police last Novem- ber following an investiga- tion into a shooting in Ajax. Durham police responded to Shoal Point Road at about 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 and found a 19-year-old Ajax man with a non life-threat- ening gunshot wound. Witnesses told investiga- tors the victim had been talking with friends out- side a residence when two young men emerged from a nearby footpath and began shooting. The victim was hit in the leg. At the time, police said the shooting was not a ran- dom act. In November Durham police arrested Mr. Chalm- ers, of Roachman Boule- vard in Toronto, along with Christopher Jones, 20, of Edgley Court in Ajax and a 17-year-old Ajax youth, laying almost 50 charges against them. Mr. Chalmers faces a host of charges, including aggravated assault, kidnap- ping while using a firearm and numerous weapons of- fences in connection with the Ajax shooting. He’s been in custody since his arrest, said Durham police spokes- man Dave Selby. “He’s still in the Lindsay jail and has been since we (arrested) him in Novem- ber,” he said. Court dockets indicate Mr. Chalmers’ next appear- ance on the Durham charg- es is Feb. 13; he’s scheduled to have a preliminary hear- ing in May. pickeringtowncentre.com FIND YOUR SWEET TREAT FREE Chocolate Heart Box * when you spend $40 or more (same day sales, before taxes) at any one of Pickering Town Centre stores, restaurants or services.

The Durham Drug Treat- ment Court (DDTC) was ini- tiated through a partnership between Judge Kofi Barnes, Lakeridge Health Pinewood and representatives from the Crown, duty counsel and probation services. It provides comprehensive treatment to people charged with criminal offences with demonstrated substance abuse issues. While Drug Treatment Courts are relatively new to Canada, they have been successfully implemented throughout the world in countries like the United States, Norway and Australia. “The Durham Drug Treat- ment Court provides court- supervised treatment for those primarily addicted to cocaine and/or opiates,” said Paul McGary, director of Mental Health and Pinewood Centre at Lakeridge Health. “Our goal is to reduce the relapse rates of our client’s substance use and related criminal behaviour through addiction and lifestyle reha- bilitation.” To participate, offenders must accept responsibility for their offence by entering a guilty plea. After completing the program, clients receive a non-custodial sentence. “Co-occurring mental health and addiction disor- ders present a challenge to seamless and comprehen- sive client support,” said Rob Adams, executive director of Durham Mental Health Ser- vices. “When the justice and human service sectors work together, individuals with mental health and substance use issues receive more ef- fective treatment and our community is healthier and safer.” The DDTC has not yet received financial support from the Department of Justice Canada. The above listed partnerships are sup- porting the program until government funding comes through.

Someone knows who shot 22-year- old Beverly Smith in the back of the head and left her to die on her kitchen floor in Raglan on the evening of Dec. 9, 1974, Durham Police Inspector David Kimmerly said in making a plea for information during a news conference Monday in Whitby. “It’s somebody that was interacting in the community at the time,” Insp. Kim- merly said. “It is our hope the person or persons responsible are still alive and still within our reach.” Ms. Smith, mother of a 10-month-old daughter and the wife of a GM worker, was signing Christmas cards in the living room of her Old Simcoe Road home before opening the door to a visitor, Insp. Kim- merly said. She was found dead by neighbours who went to the house after being notified by her worried husband, who called home during the evening and got no answer. No arrests were made in the 1970s, although investigators identified per- sons of interest, including Ms. Smith’s husband, who was cleared after co-op- erating with police. The file has been re-opened from time to time since then and in the spring of 2007 a team of dedi- cated investigators was struck to start from scratch, Insp. Kimmerly said. Police have interviewed more than 200 people across Canada and in the United States and have asked some people to submit DNA and fingerprint samples. Insp. Kimmerly said not all those approached for DNA samples have been co-operative, but that doesn’t automatically make them suspects. The fact that no one in the tight-knit community reported seeing or hear- ing anything out of the ordinary on the night of the killing has led police to believe the murder was perpetrated by a local person, Insp. Kimmerly said. Reinforcing that theory is the absence of signs of forced entry; it appears Ms. Smith let the killer into her house. “Our investigations have shown no one saw anything out of the ordinary,” Insp. Kimmerly said. “It’s been a belief of investigators since 1974 she knew her killer.” Investigators aren’t declaring the murder a premeditated act, but Insp. Kimmerly noted circumstances, includ- ing the way in which Ms. Smith was killed, don’t point toward a spontane- ous event. “Whoever came brought a firearm with them,” he said, noting the murder weapon was never found. Also on hand at police headquarters in Whitby Monday morning were Ms. Smith’s twin sister, Barbra Brown, and the dead woman’s daughter, Rebecca. Both women appealed for informa- tion that would lead to a resolution for Ms. Smith’s family and friends, who for decades have lived with the unsolved crime. Speaking directly to the killer, Rebecca, who didn’t want her last name used, ap- pealed to the guilty person’s conscience: “I understand you were young at the time and you may regret your actions of that night,” she said. “Now I’m asking you to give my fam- ily and my mom, and even yourself some peace.” Ms. Brown said her sister’s unsolved killing has long been a source of tor- ment. “To me it feels like yesterday,” she said. “I felt my twin’s pain when she died and I feel her turmoil now. She needs to be at peace.” Updated information and photo- graphs relating to the homicide are on the police website at www.drps.ca/un- solved cases. Anyone with new information on the cold case is asked to call detectives Leon Lynch or Doug Parker at 905-579- 1520, extension 7810, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Consider the federal outlay for our sis- ters to the west: Brampton got $95 million for its bus rapid transit system, Mississau- ga received $83 million, York took in $85 million while Toronto gobbled up $697 million for a subway extension. It’s long been a complaint in this neck of the Greater Toronto Area that we are the poor cousins. It would be natural to hope that with the second-most powerful man at the Canadian cabinet table and a local MP to boot, that we’d get more. All that said, at least the cash is a start toward a bigger and better Durham Regional Transit system. As is evident from the growth across York and Peel regions, it’s necessary to provide an efficient, effective and seamless sys- tem that moves large numbers of people quickly. Such a service takes pressure off our overcrowded roads where construc- tion hasn’t kept pace with Durham’s rapid growth, The federal money announced Monday will allow for a professional, top-grade transit study to identify exactly what is required for the DRT to meet future needs. A key part of the challenge is to analyze exactly where resources are needed, what level of spending is necessary and how to merge the DRT routes with neighbouring transit systems. While GO Transit moves commuters effectively along the Lake Ontario corridor, the DRT will have to get them to and from GO routes and move them quickly through our local communi- ties. Thousands in Durham and beyond depend upon public transit to get them where they need to go. They’ll be antici- pating improvements in the system and they’ll be looking for leadership on that score. You can bet Mr. Flaherty, as Whitby- Oshawa MP and federal minister respon- sible for the GTA, will be keeping a close eye on the results of this study and, we hope, will have the chequebook ready to add needed dollars to expand the system.

I just read Dan McTeague’s comments concerning the airport lands and as usual it was the lukewarm response of a Liberal Party member. This situation started with the Liberals in 1972. They didn’t care then about the local people and they don’t care about them now. His indifferent answers speak volumes. The Chretien years speak for themselves. Town hall meetings are abused by politi- cians. They look after their interests first and then their constituents if it can get them votes. I am cynical about all politi- cians, especially long-serving ones like Mr. McTeague, who has been re-elected several times. What has he done for local Pickering people who have been kicked out of their homes, nothing. All governments since 1972 are responsible for this mess, but the injuries are felt by local people, not the McTeagues or Hollands of Pickering. Anthony Belmonte Pickering The choice is ours To the editor: Choice is perhaps one of the most influ- ential words ever, defined as the ‘right, power or opportunity to choose’. We have chosen, as a community, to allow pesticides, herbicides and chemicals to be laced on our grounds, to be flushed by rain into our waters. We have chosen as a community to poison that very com- munity that we live, play and work in. In our arrogance we have chosen to upset the balance of the earth and, by doing so, have become unbalanced ourselves. Through these choices, we are laying a foundation of toxicity for the future. The beauty is that we can choose again for choice is limitless. We don’t need the municipal government to implement a ban on pesticides. We have the power as a com- munity to choose to stop using them. We have the power as a community to vote for councillors who support a green environment and who have a vision of bal- ance within our community. Just one choice by one person can send a ripple effect through our community. J. F. Parkinson Whitby Fairport is a busy road, as intended To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering residents demand ways to calm traffic’, Jan. 27 News Advertiser. I object to private homeowners who want to commandeer an important artery like Fairport Road for their own personal or political agenda. This is not a small, subdivision street where kids can play hockey. Many local residents use Fairport Road daily, for the purpose for which it was designed, as an essential traffic link from Finch and beyond to Kingston Road, as well as an avenue through Stroud’s Lane to shopping and schools on Whites Road. I have used this road since 1985 and can attest that the traf- fic does not fly up and down the road at 100 km/h, as Mr. Gibson stated, but actu- ally moves at a snail’s pace of 40 km/h. A lot of our tax money has been invested to widen and upgrade Fairport Road for this purpose, including sidewalks, sewers, stop signs and traffic lights. I agree that it is not being utilized prop- erly: the traffic should flow at an increased but still moderate 60 km/h to be in keeping with its function and better serve the com- munity. Bill Hibbits Pickering Get troops out of harm’s way or bring them home To the editor: It seems Canada has no true exit policy from the Afghanistan Manley report and we have no clear policy for being there. Sometimes we might be fighting the Tal- iban, sometimes supporting Hamid Kar- zai’s government (although we can’t train them properly to take over this charge), providing humanitarian services or sup- porting U.S. foreign policy through a very limited NATO alliance. The most realistic picture for supporting Canadian troops is to rotate them out of harm’s way and if not that, then bring them home.

The money is being targeted to- ward kidney disease, diabetes and self-management. “These programs will help to im- prove the quality of life for residents and will ultimately help to decrease hospital visits,” said Provincial Health Minister George Smither- man in a press release. The Chronic Kidney Disease Early Intervention and Outreach project is receiving $1.9 million and is fo- cusing on developing a process that will improve the early identification of the disease. The project will work on outreach of at-risk populations, such as the aboriginal community and new immigrants. The hope is to decrease emergency room visits and increase the quality of life. The Diabetes Clinical Practice Guidelines Rollout Project is receiv- ing $110,000 and focuses on educa- tion about diabetes. It allows the LHIN Diabetes Network to work with the public and health care providers to make them aware of the diabetes resources available. The Self Management Training for Consumers and Caregivers project will target more than 3,000 people in the next three years and is receiv- ing $1.3 million. The goal is to provide education and training to patients and fami- lies on how to best manage their chronic disease. It provides infor- mation on exercise, appropriate use of medication, communication with caregivers and evaluating new treat- ments. “When a person has a chronic disease, it is almost always a shared experience with family, friends and others doing what they can to pro- vide support to the person,” said Dr. George Buldo, co-chairman of the Central East LHIN’s Chronic Dis- ease Prevention and Management Network. For more information about the new programs, visit the Central East LHIN website at www.centraleastl- hin.on.ca.

Never smoke in bed It’s just too easy to fall asleep. Don’t smoke if you’re drowsy ...especially if you’re sitting down in a comfortable chair or if you’ve been drinking or taking prescription drugs. Check between the cushions for any smokers items that may have fallen into the cracks. Don’t leave a lit cigarette ...or a cigar or pipe. They can easily overbalance as they burn down, land on a carpet, newspaper or between sofa or armchair cushions, and start a fire. Use a proper ashtray Make sure it can’t be easily knocked over and avoid a build-up of ash and debris. Dispose of your ashes safely Put your ashes in the toilet before going to bed. Don’t leave matches or lighters unattended Children love them. Every year children die starting fires with matches and lighters they shouldn’t have had. It doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes for a child left on their own to start a fire.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 6, 2008 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Task force created to advocate for better care- g iver support Mandate is to help those who take care of older family members DURHAM — There is a new task force to help out caregivers in Dur- ham Region. The group is designed to advocate for the improved availability of care- giver support services. The Durham Region Task Force for Community-Based Resources for Caregivers hopes to strengthen the re- lationship between community-based caregivers, the Region of Durham, and the Central East Local Health Integra- tion Network. They plan to improve access to respite care, adult day pro- grams, home care, homemaker ser- vices and educational programs for caregivers in the region. “There is a need to enhance com- munity-based health-care services in a timely fashion. This task force was developed to ensure we have the ser- vices in place to deal with the issues these individuals are facing.” says Os- hawa Councillor April Cullen, chair- woman of the Health and Social Ser- vices Committee. There is an increasing number of people in the Durham Region who are taking care of older family members in their home. The new task force aims to assist these people in provid- ing quality care. “This coalition will greatly assist all caregivers by helping to provide ac- cess to the services they truly need,” says Barbara North, a caregiver and one of the advocates for the creation of the task force. To learn more, contact the Region at 905-668-7711 and ask for Director of Long Term Care, Judy Heffern.

Earth Angels ready to green up local school yards DURHAM — Schools in Durham Region are now able to sign up for a unique tree-planting program that ensures kids have trees to play under at recess. Environmental Earth Angels’ School Tree Plant- ing Program offers Ontario schools a chance to part- ner lessons about trees and the environment with hands-on planting of trees. The result? Students are knowledgeable about the trees they’ve planted and take on stewardship for the greened-up schoolyard. Earth Angels supplies teachers with the resources and the know-how. Planting is made easy with light- weight, bare-root trees that kids of all ages can han- dle. Materials are free thanks to the generous sup- port of Friends of the Environment, Ontario Power Generation, Honda Financial Services, TELUS and The Body Shop Foundation. The program has resulted in the planting of more than 7,000 trees in the GTA by more than 550,000 students. Applications are being accepted now and partici- pation is limited.

Guardrails considered for fatal accident site in north Durham Eight-year-old drowned Christmas Eve after vehicle skidded off road DURHAM — The Region will look at in- stalling guardrails on a stretch of Regional Road 12, Cameron Street, in Brock Town- ship where a vehicle skidded off the road on Christmas Eve, resulting in the death of an eight-year-old girl. Brittany Mabee-Wilson drowned after her mother lost control of her vehicle on the icy road. It skidded off the road side- ways and landed on its roof in a pond. Earlier this month, the Region received a letter from the Township of Brock asking that the Region consider installing guard- rails at the location. Though there was no discussion of the letter at Wednesday’s works committee meeting, the issue was referred to staff for a report. Staff will examine the site and com- pare it to a set of standards to determine whether guardrails are warranted at that location, said Susan Siopis, director of transportation and field services for the Region. “Any location has to be evaluated against those warrants or standards,” she said after the meeting. Earlier, Ms. Siopis said at the current funding levels, it will take 25 years to ad- dress the Region’s backlog of roadside pro- tection devices, which includes guardrails. However, she said the site of the Brock accident was not one that is currently on the list. “With the built-in safety features and helpful staff, I’ve never felt more at ease.” www.chartwellreit.ca JOIN US FOR AN OPEN HOUSE Saturday,February 16th • 1pm - 4pm Refreshments served.

Brian McCullough of Simcoe Street had a “vast” collection of child porn that included images stored in computers and on discs, as well as VHS tapes and printed pictures, Superior Court Justice Sue McLean heard as the man pleaded guilty. “He had a vast collection,” Durham police Detective Andy Bussanich said after the January sentencing. “He had been collecting for a number of years.” Mr. McCullough, 46, was sentenced to two years less a day on top of the time he’d already spent in cus- tody following his arrest in June 2007 on charges of possession and distribu- tion of child pornography. Police launched an in- vestigation after a techni- cian found images of child porn on a computer that had been sent for repairs. Durham cops executed a search warrant at Mr. McCullough’s home on Fa- ther’s Day last June. Speeders, suspended drivers caught up in traffic blitz 1,800 charges laid in week-long operation By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A man who was busted twice in the same day for speeding and driving while under suspension was among hundreds of motor- ists charged during an inten- sive traffic safety blitz under- taken across the region by Durham police last month. Cops taking part in Opera- tion In The Zone laid more than 1,800 charges during the week-long initiative Jan. 7 to 11, mostly for speeding and other aggressive driv- ing in and around school zones. Speeding made up the majority of the charges, with 1,440 infractions. Mean- while, 28 tickets were written for speeding in community safety zones; 54 for stop sign offences, and 346 for other Highway Traffic Act infrac- tions. Six drivers were also arrest- ed on Criminal Code charges and four others were busted on drug charges, police said. And police charged three drivers under new street rac- ing legislation when they were caught exceeding post- ed speed limits by 50 km or more; the charge results in immediate licence suspen- sion and seizure of the driv- er’s vehicle for seven days. Some highlights from the blitz: • One driver who was tick- eted for driving 112 km per hour in a 60 km zone was found to be driving while under suspension. Later the same day he was stopped again -- by the same officer who’d pinched him earlier - - and charged with driving while under suspension; his car was impounded. • A man caught speeding in Whitby had just left the local Provincial Offences of- fice, where he’d paid a fine for speeding in a school zone. • Police who stopped a 17- year-old driver clocked at 90 km-h in a 40 km zone no- ticed a video camera on the vehicle dashboard; the teen advised an officer he’d been using it to make videos he posted on the Internet. • And an Oshawa man stopped during the blitz was arrested for driving while under suspension for a Crim- inal Code offence, as well as the Highway Traffic Act. He was arrested and held for a bail hearing. Similar traffic safety efforts will continue throughout the year, police said. mind +body +spirit EXPOASK THE PROFESSIONALS PANELS DEMONSTRATIONS FREE HEALTHY GIFT BAGS AT THE DOOR* $2 ADMISSION FEE DONATED TO CHARITY DURHAM Traditional & Alternative Health Care + Fitness + Beauty + Healthy Eating + Yoga + Massage Therapy + Chiropractic + Physiotherapy ONE DAY SHOW SUNDAY MARCH 2, 2008 Ajax Convention Centre 10 A.M. - 5 P.M.

The Port Hope artist believes the only time you finish a painting is “when you die. “It’s hard to know when a painting is done. If you look at it and you’re happy then that’s it, you really have to stop yourself,” she says. Some of the work she’s happy with is on dis- play at the Ontario Power Generation Information Centre in Pickering until March 11. The show is an exhibition of the works she has done in watercolours. The artist describes her style as a cross between impressionism and realism with a definite emphasis on the former. Ms. Kershaw admits to having a great fondness for realist work, but feels it lacks elements she enjoys working with. “I appreciate many peo- ple enjoy high realism and I like looking at high realism pictures too, but to paint I want more energy, and to get that you need to be loos- er, which is why I include impressionistic elements,” she says. For subjects, she likes to use natural scenes she feels a personal connection to. “Landscapes, flowers, seascapes. I like them be- cause they are what I feel happy doing. I have to be somewhat drawn to the subject,” says Ms. Kershaw. “If I’m not particularly interested in the subject I tend to not do it well.” Since retiring 12 years ago, she has been a very active painter. She’s taken part in numerous art shows and has been accepted into multiple juried competi- tions. Ms. Kershaw is inspired by Newmarket-based artist Donnah Cameron and Pick- ering’s Hi Sook Barker. Both artists teach workshops and seminars in the region. “I like their style and the way they use the paint; they have great enthusiasm for the medium,” says Ms. Ker- shaw. She’s a member of several arts groups in the area, like the PineRidge Arts Council, the Cobourg Art Group, and Ajax Creative Arts. She credits the groups with both improving and inspiring her work. “You go and you meet fellow artists; you exchange ideas and get tips, hints, and encouragements. It’s really great,” she says. The information centre is at 1675 Montgomery Park Rd. (at the foot of Brock Road). It’s open to the pub- lic from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. There is no admission charge.

The group is looking for musicians who play clarinet, saxophone, French horn and trumpet to complete the ros- ter. Interested musicians can contact the ensemble at 905- 666-3169 or send an e-mail to patton62@sympatico.ca. The ensemble was re- formed in October 2007 by four of its original charter members and 15 new mem- bers. The group plays a wide variety of music styles at a high performance level. Its members are professional and amateur musicians and serious music students from Durham and the GTA. Each year the Ensemble provides up to five high school stu- dents with additional music experience prior to their graduation and continuing education in the music field. The Ensemble has re- turned to its original mandate to provide a winter series of concerts with music from the classics, opera, ballet, Broadway and the theatre, traditional wind band com- positions and the usual mix- ture of popular light classics, novelty selections and songs. These concerts are held in the Whitby Free Methodist Church, Rossland Road East, Whitby. The second concert of the season is on March 29. Summer community con- certs consist of appropriate music programs. The Ensemble’s 2008 pro- gram contains a winter se- ries of four concerts, joint concerts with other music groups, and outdoor com- munity concerts in the GTA. The Ensemble does not meet or perform during July and August. Rehearsals are on Thurs- day evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Whitby.

Trojans top Titans to capture own hoops Classic Ninth tournament title of season for top-ranked Pickering High senior squad By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Cory Joseph serves as a perfect complement to his backcourt brother, Devoe, for the Pickering High School Trojans se- nior boys’ basketball team. But, while his shooting guard brother who’s bound for the Uni- versity of Minnesota on an athletic scholarship has earned most valu- able player accolades in previous tournaments for the Trojans this season, it was younger brother Cory who got the nod as MVP for the Pickering High School Classic tournament at Oshawa’s UOIT/ Durham College, which wrapped up on Saturday night. The Trojans grabbed their ninth championship of the season with an emphatic 83-54 victory over the Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School Titans of Scar- borough in the gold-medal final of the inaugural 24-team tourna- ment. The Josephs were front-and- centre as Devoe lit up Mother Te- resa for 30 points, including three 3-pointers, with Cory adding 13 to help the Trojans capture the title before a partisan crowd at the new state-of-the-art athletic facility. While there’s no sibling rivalry between the Joseph boys on the court, Cory notes it’s nonetheless nice to be rec- ognized for his contribu- tions to the top-ranked Trojans’ suc- cess. “It was good to get the MVP. My brother’s gotten lots of MVPs and stuff, so it’s good to get an MVP award once in while,” notes Cory following the Trojans’ thorough victory. Devoe, however, wasn’t shut out of the accolades as he joined fel- low Trojans’ starter Jonathan Tull on the tournament’s all-star team. Mother Teresa, the sixth-ranked team in the province, were no match for the Trojans after coming off a draining and emotional 57- 56 semifinal victory over the H.B. Beal Raiders of London. Mother Teresa also missed talented 6-foot, 9-inch centre Maurice Walker, who suffered an injury requiring X-rays following the semifinal and wasn’t on the bench until the second half of the final. By the time Walker arrived, the damage had already been done. The Trojans led by 14 (39-25) at the half and continued to play well against the weary Titans in the third quarter, leading by a whop- Ajax goalie rock solid for Colgate Red Raiders Plenderleith earns league rookie of the week honours AJAX — An Ajax hockey play- er garnered a weekly honour for her play with the Colgate Univer- sity (Hamilton, New York) Red Raiders women’s hockey team. Freshman Lisa Plenderleith was named the ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) Hockey Rookie of the Week. Plenderleith went 1-1 on the weekend in a split with the Cor- nell University Big Red to earn her second weekly honour of the college hockey season. Last Friday, the former Dur- ham Junior Lightning puckstop- per made 26 saves and allowed three goals in a 3-2 loss. The Big Red came out and immedi- ately put her to work. Plender- leith squashed two one-on-one efforts in the third period. She stopped a breakaway and caught the rebound with 12 minutes to play and six minutes later made a leg save after Cor- nell was on the opposite end of a turnover. Last Saturday she had a 41- save performance in a 2-1 vic- tory. Her 41 saves matched her ca- reer high from a 1-0 loss to New Hampshire in October. Plenderleith had a terrific game, stopping the puck at all costs. She made 11 stops during nearly two minutes of 5-on-3 ac- tion midway through the second period. Plenderleith nearly earned a shutout but the Big Red scored an extra-attacker goal with just 21.3 seconds left in regulation. After pulling the goalie with just under two minutes, Cornell put two shots on net that Plender- leith stopped before one got through traffic.

The Panthers (10-33-1 for 21 points), cellar dwellers in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference, have four games remaining as well as a possible makeup contest from Fri- day night on home ice against the St. Michael’s Buzzers that was post- poned due to the snowstorm that swept through Southern Ontario. Playing with a sizable number of call-ups from the Toronto Red Wings’ midgets against St. Mike’s in Toronto on Sunday afternoon, the Panthers predictably fell 6-0 to the powerhouse and first-place Buzzers, which has yet to lose on home ice this season. Panthers’ goaltender Terrence Reid probably saw pucks in his sleep as the Buzzers peppered him with in excess of 60 shots, while the Panthers could muster only 15 on St. Mike’s goalie Sean Perkins, who earned the shutout. Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin notes it’s all about playing for pride and having a look at some promising players who may have a shot at play- ing for the club next season.

Cory says he believed the final would prove more competitive, based on the fact the Titans had beaten the Trojans previously for one of their two losses on the season. But, everything went Pickering’s way this time around. “I never thought it was going to be a 30-point game. They’re a great team. I thought we came out hard. The first half was close, but in the second half we just pulled away,” explained Cory. Trojans’ coach Jim Barclay notes Mother Teresa kept pace through much of the first half, but the Trojans got into a groove when they began to play their brand of basketball. “They did a good job running with us, but when we turned up the defensive intensity, really worked on rebounding and pushing the ball, we took the game away. I don’t think there’s anyone that can run with us,” he says. The tournament, says organizer and Trojans’ coach Mike Gordensky, was not without a few hitches, most notably the inclement weather on Friday that kept seven teams at home. “We had to improvise as best we could,” says Gordensky, who added it was nice to see a good crowd on hand for the final. The Trojans advanced to the final after defeating Toronto’s St. Michael’s College Blue Raiders 81-59 in their semifinal contest on Saturday after- noon. Justin Wiltshire, with 12, and Cory Joseph, with 11, led Pickering High past St. Mike’s. Steele sterling at big U.S. meet Pickering gymnast second at Sand Dollar/Whitlow Invitational in Orlando PICKERING — A Pickering gymnast turned in a silver-medal-winning per- formance while representing Ontario at the Sand Dollar/Whitlow Invitation- al at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida last week- end. More than 1,000 athletes from across the U.S. and Canada competed. Competing in the Level 8 senior ‘A’ category, Lauren Steele won individual gold on balance beam, bronze on un- even bars, placed fourth on vault and sixth on floor exercise. Her all-around score of 35.7 was strong enough to earn her second place overall. Steele’s performance contributed to the Level 8 Ontario team’s bronze- medal finish in the Team Awards cat- egory. Next, the 14-year-old Dunbarton High School student will focus on the upcoming Provincial qualifying meet in Mississauga and the Gymnix Inter- national meet in Montreal later next month. Steele trains at Gemini Gymnastics in Oshawa under the direction of head coach Elena Davydova, the 1980 Olym- pic champion. ✦ Trojans from page 17 Trojans march to Classic title Submitted photo Pickering’s Lauren Steele shows the form on the uneven parallel bars that helped her win an all-around silver medal for Ontario at a big meet in Orlando, Florida recently.newsdurhamregion.comCATCH UP ONLINE AT Greg Riggs and Richard Duncan went AWOL for the contest, with no explana- tion forthcoming to Joslin for their ab- sences.

Heaven is that much brighter after Don Manning went home to be with The Lord Friday morning. He is no doubt giving praise and honor through music to the Prince of Peace when he is not being toured around Glory by his wife Marie who predeceased him by two years. Don passed away peacefully in his sleep early Friday morning. He is sorely missed by his brother Leonard, his sisters Lorraine and Dorothy and his children Donna (Gallant), Paul, Daniel and Philip. Don is a beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He fought the good fight, and is a war veteran who was wounded in Holland and was decorated by the grateful people of both Holland and Canada.
