The average residential taxpayer is facing a 4.82 per cent hike on the Region’s portion of their bill. The increase translates into an extra $98 on a home assessed at $280,000, which is the Durham average. The increase will vary among the mu- nicipalities because transit and waste costs differ. Brock had the highest increase at 5.45 per cent, or $113 on that average home, and Oshawa had the lowest, with 3.93 per cent or $82. The average homeowner now pays $2,138 for the regional portion of their tax bill. “The major budget drivers are transporta- tion, which includes roads and transit, polic- ing and waste and they have all been treated as a priority,” said Scugog Mayor and finance committee chairwoman Marilyn Pearce. The $132-million police budget includes hiring eight police officers and two civilians, a drop from the previous three years when the Region aggressively added to the force. Two dozen officers were added last year. Council also passed a resolution advising the police services board to present a busi- ness case for a proposed $18-million fire- arms training facility before proceeding with it. In addition to recent service reductions, the transit budget includes 17 new buses and the refurbishment of some existing ones. “As everyone knows, Durham Region has a very young transit system and we have a very old fleet,” said Mayor Pearce. Brock Road in Pickering and Simcoe Street in Oshawa will see some of the $47 million earmarked for road rehabilitation and ex- pansion. The waste budget includes $2.4 million for the environmental assessment for a pro- posed incinerator in Clarington and $1.45 million for the remediation of the Brock and Oshawa landfills. Council also confirmed its commitment to diverting 70 per cent of waste from landfills by 2010, including the implementation of a set of Durham-wide waste bylaws. The Region is also looking at requiring clear plastic bags as opposed to the traditional green or black. “Meeting a 70 per cent diversion target will be a challenge, it will take political will as well as funding,” said Mayor Pearce. The budget also includes $958,000 to a fund the region’s five conservation authori- ties can draw on towards the purchase of land and a $50,000 one-time donation to FINDING HIS INNER ARTIST AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Grade 7 students from Pickering’s Fairport Beach Public School visited the Station Gallery in Whitby for an art instruction class.

More Durham residents collecting unemployment DURHAM — Contrary to the provin- cial trend, the unemployment rate in Durham rose to 6.3 per cent at the end of February from 5.7 per cent in Janu- ary. The change applies to the Oshawa Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), which also includes Clarington and Whitby, and represents about 1,200 workers. In total, there are approxi- mately 12,300 unemployed people in the Oshawa CMA. Provincially, the unemployment rate fell 0.2 per cent to 6.1 per cent. The na- tional rate remained steady at 5.8 per cent. The numbers show continuing weakness in manufacturing, an impor- tant component of the job market in Durham. Statistics Canada reports On- tario lost 20,000 manufacturing jobs in February. Provincially, that was offset by 31,000 new jobs in construction and 20,000 jobs in business, building and support services and 11,000 jobs in public administration. Though Toronto’s unemployment rate fell 0.2 per cent, it’s still slightly higher than Durham’s at 6.5 per cent. ✦ Region from page 1 Region gives $50,000 to Special Olympics the Special Olympics, which holds its Ontario spring games in Durham this year. As well, the Region’s four long-term care facilities will receive an additional $800,000 and new staff will be hired to meet needs from an anticipated rise in Ontario Works caseloads. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson congratulated Mayor Pearce on the budget process. “To get council to vote unanimously on a budget is rare, so congratulations on that ... to the department heads once again, thanks for meeting the targets. I don’t think it’ll be as easy next year,” he said When factoring in local and educa- tion taxes as well, the Region estimates the average Durham homeowner will be paying about four per cent more than last year.

Alexander Mason’s wife, Jean, a senior who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, was diagnosed with breast cancer before Christmas and has had one surgery at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital so far. A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Mason says he received a phone call from his wife’s doctor, advising him that a second surgery is needed. He says the doctor told Mr. Mason to call if he hadn’t heard anything within two weeks because it was crucial the surgery was performed as soon as possible. “Time is of the essence, right?” Mr. Mason says. Mr. Mason says he called his doctor’s office Friday morning, since the two weeks would be up Mon- day, and was told all the op- erating rooms were closed. Mr. Mason said he isn’t normally one to complain, and completely respects his wife’s surgeon, but feels patients with a serious need for surgery have been brushed aside during the March Break, and thinks it’s “utterly ridiculous. “People’s vacations trump over people’s lives, in other words,” Mr. Mason says. David Brazeau, Rouge Valley Health System man- ager of public affairs and community relations, said operating rooms at the hos- pital are not closed during the March Break, but are traditionally on reduced service during the break since there are less staff and patients around at that time. “Whenever there’s March Break, there are fewer pa- tients in our OR, partly be- cause there are fewer staff and fewer physicians dur- ing March Break,” he says. He added the situation is common across the prov- ince. Other times the oper- ating room closes down are Christmas and New Year’s, Mr. Brazeau explains. He says although the service is significantly reduced dur- ing the break, emergency operations will still be han- dled at the hospital, which is determined by the physi- cians. He says people with specific concerns should consult their physician, and also, any concerns can be raised with the patient rela- tions co-ordinator by call- ing the main switchboard at 905-683-2320. The operating room will go back to its normal sched- ule on Monday, March 17. Mr. Mason is waiting to hear when he can bring his wife in for her second surgery. pickeringtowncentre.com MARCH BREAK ENVIRONMENT WEEK Mad Science Showtime: 10:30am Followed by interactive fun stations.

Clocks move forward one hour on Sunday. “Ensure your smoke alarms work when you need them,” Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson says in a press release. “Change your batteries when you change your clocks and never use rechargeable bat- teries.” While smoke alarms are important in providing an early warning when a fire strikes, the chief adds they are not a substitute for pre- planned fire prevention mea- sures. Other reminders include: • Every home in Ontario is required to have working smoke alarms on each floor, as well as outside all sleeping areas; • If a smoke alarm is bat- tery operated, a new battery should be changed at least once a year, although the Ajax Fire and Emergency Services recommends changing it twice a year; For more information, call the Fire Prevention Office at 905-683-7791.

As well, at least three labouring mothers were sent to other hospitals, ambulances with patients requiring surgery were di- verted and surgeries were cancelled from late March 3 until the next day, as a result of the leak. According to a media release, a “water leak on Friday, Feb. 29, and the potential impact on a nearby sterile surgical supply storage area has required the disposal of critical surgical supplies.” On Tuesday, the hospital received new supplies and the area was cleaned up. But those patients who had operations between Friday and Monday were noti- fied, in order to ensure they were watch- ing for signs of infection caused by the situation. “It’s virtually impossible to say there was no risk at all,” said Dr. Mark Taylor, vice-president of medicine and academic affairs with Lakeridge. “The risk was very, very small -- it’s impossible to say how small.” Still, the “potential exposure to any patient was not a risk we were willing to take,” he said. Patients who had been operated on from Friday until Monday and remained in hospital after the leak was discovered were visited by an infectious disease staff member personally, said Dr. Taylor. Those who had been released from hospital were notified, as were their doc- tors and “all were advised of what to look for.” “Most problems would become evident within a week,” said Dr. Taylor of the po- tential risk of infection. “The most significant risk would be a wound infection which will not respond to regular antibiotics.” About 50 surgeries were delayed as a result of the leak and subsequent re-sup- ply and cleanup of the area. Three labouring mothers were sent to hospitals in Ajax, Peterborough and Co- bourg to deliver their babies. The risk of infection to surgical patients was “theoretical and very remote,” said Dr. Ian Davis, Infectious Diseases Spe- cialist with Lakeridge, in a news release. By Thursday, “everything (was) com- pletely back to normal,” said Dr. Taylor. Lakeridge surgery patients notified about potential risk YOU’RE A MOUSE CLICK AWAY TO GREAT PRIZES!

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 9, 2008 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com Nuclear needed to close energy gap By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Canada needs to make investments in power generation if it wants to close the gap be- tween energy supply and demand. Eric Williams, the presi- dent of the Canadian Nu- clear Society, said the limit has been reached in On- tario with hydro-electricity, while coal is being phased out. Even with an aggressive approach to more renew- able energy sources, such as wind, and conservation, there’s still a gap between supply and demand, he said to a meeting of about 50 nu- clear engineering students at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa Wednesday. “We’re living off the infra- structure investments made by our grandparents. And, they are falling apart,” he noted. The Province is looking at investing $40 billion on nu- clear projects, such as new builds and refurbishing ex- isting ones, he stated, but he likened the initiative to “a large ship at sea. It takes a long time to get it turned around.” Two units at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station are currently being refur- bished and the cost to do all four ‘A’ reactors at Bruce carries a price tag of about $5.25 billion. It would ex- tend the life of the units to 2036. The Province is “still look- ing at various technologies” for the new build reactors. “They haven’t made a deci- sion on AECL and Candu,” he stated, adding the Candu is “a good design. “All the work we’re doing is just maintaining 14,000 megawatts. We’re relying on aggressive renewables and aggressive conservation to close the gap,” Mr. Williams said, “We’re not coming to the end of oil. It’s just the end of cheap oil. “There isn’t another tech- nology that can deliver what we can,” he added. The Candu nuclear reac- tor “works well,” he stated. Admitting that he’s “bi- ased,” Mr. Williams de- fended Candu technology, saying, “I think it has a lot to offer. I personally think the Candu is a wonderful option.” With the concern about global warming, the nuclear industry has support with the public, he said. “Public perception is our reality. If we go over-sched- ule and over-budget, or reactors are shutdown, the public doesn’t trust us,” he noted. Another caveat is dealing with waste. “We have yet to give them a good answer to that,” Mr. Williams said. “Nuclear waste is a long-term prob- lem we have got to man- age.” Candu reactors can do the job, says engineer DURHAM — Tim Rob- ins, former senior man- ager of facilities services with the Durham Catholic District School Board, was appointed assistant super- intendent of facilities ser- vices at Monday’s board meeting. A board employee for two years, Mr. Robins has a 24-year background in facilities services. Mr. Robins has a bach- elor of administrative studies and an OACETT mechanical engineering certificate. RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES newsdurhamregion.com New assistant superintendent named Enjoy your March Break - we deserve it M ake the most of your March Break, whether that means taking advantage of the many activities available or gearing down a bit. The annual Spring Break is here, and perhaps more welcome than in recent years. Many of us feel a bit tired and fed up at this time of year as the long winter draws to close. This is especially true this year, after what is on course to be one of the snowiest winters on record. Perhaps you’re inclined to spend a relaxing week with the kids, generally staying close to the homestead. After getting through our weekly workload, a week off when we can simply hang out and watch some movies together and have a few laughs is to be treasured. On the other hand, the active set is looking for stuff to do, and there are a bevy of opportunities out there to keep restless kids happy and occupied. Ontario Power Generation’s March Break Madness activities continue all week, with most at the OPG Information Centre. The one exception is an oppor- tunity on Thursday to visit Windreach Farm in Ashburn from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s a chance for young and old alike to enjoy a wagon ride, meet some of the animals and more. There’s no charge, but a $10 donation to the farm would be a wonderful gesture. Windreach’s mission is to enhance the lives of people with dis- abilities and/or special needs by offering a true farming and outdoors experience and activities. See what OPG has in store at www.opg.com. The City of Pickering offers a Set- tler Trail experience at the Pickering Museum Village and March Break Youth Shinny at the Rec Complex’s Delaney Rink.

Of special note is a chance to meet graphic novelist Liam O’Donnell at the McLean Branch on Thursday to learn about comic books, and in particular how the writer and illustrator work together. Pick up a flyer at any library branch or see it online on the Town’s website, www.townofajax.com. Click on the Library link, then on ‘What’s On’. Whatever you do, motorists need to remember that with thousands of kids on the loose they need to be careful on the roads, especially at intersections and when backing out of driveways, what with the snow piled so high.

Jackie Murphy Clarington L ast week’s religious debates provided the perfect backdrop for what’s com- monly known as the human drama. The emotions provoked in both the debat- ers and the crowd -- self-righteousness, defensiveness, vulnerability, and jealousy -- usually come up when people of differ- ent religions debate historical facts, moral points of view, and the quest for absolute truth about God. Yet the whole reason for debating the merits of one God or one philosophy over another is, usually, to find harmony, to find transcendence over the mundane, and to find love. Since the beginning of time -- regardless of when you believe time began -- mankind has reached for something outside him or herself to find comfort and completion. Mankind has also looked to a supreme being or a supreme philosophy to establish peace with and acceptance of their fellow man. Much of what is written in the road maps for each religion -- the Bible, the Qur’an, the Torah and other religious navi- gational tools -- instructs people on how to look beyond their subjective experiences and their own vulnerable emotions. Most religions provide a means of understanding other people and their reasons for acting the way they do, and to ultimately accept and forgive them. So, why is the building block for peace and the most noble of human intentions the same block that has launched the big- gest wars in history and the most venom- ous of arguments? It’s simply because we are human and unable, in many ways, to look beyond our individual experiences that we treasure our transcendent beliefs in God or philosophy. It’s precisely because we do find comfort and solace in these beliefs that we’re willing to fight tooth and nail and, even, to die for them. Our beliefs can stoke the same pas- sion and jealousy in us that an ardent lover can. So, like a person in the grip of romance, some people with deep religious convic- tions can speak without weighing all sides of their argument. And, like a person in love, those with convictions should mature as they continue on their religious journey. Of the five speakers at the debates, the one who appeared the most mature and unfazed by the opposition’s arguments was Shabir Ally. He calmly and clearly stated what he believed were facts about Islam and why he believes what he believes. When blanket statements were made about his religion, he simply responded with sta- tistics or what he believed were facts. Almost equally as impressive was cre- ation scientist Frank Sherwin. Although he had no one to debate because his opponent backed out, he fielded some tough ques- tions about the theories he was propos- ing and never lost his positive outlook or respectful attitude toward other opinions. He explained that his own personal path had come full circle from agnosticism to Christianity, from evolutionist to creation- ist, without making judgmental statements about the “other side’s” beliefs. By acting in the objective way they both did, the two men gave room to think more about what they were saying. Their actions spoke louder than their words. I hope to see more religious debates in Durham Region in the near future. Like love, religious belief is one of the most fun- damental and evocative of human experi- ences, and shouldn’t be swept under the carpet. Josie Newman’s column appears every three weeks. E-mail her at jnewman@durhamregion. com Religious debates a good thing Josie Newman Potential students can take tour, have lunch By Josie Newman jnewman@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When Trent University’s Oshawa cam- pus opens its doors next week to curious potential students and their families, staff will have a rich history to share with the newcom- ers. Located in Oshawa for 36 years, Trent University is filling a gap created by a quickly growing popula- tion and the demand for a university within commut- ing distance that excels in humanities and the liberal arts, says Craig Cameron, academic advisor and dis- ability services advisor at Trent Oshawa. “This campus is great for local people -- the majority of our students are com- muters who either live in Durham Region or some- where close by in the GTA. There are a handful who live on campus and some from the GTA who live off campus in Oshawa,” he says. In the mid-90s, Trent began offering full degree programs including Eng- lish, history, anthropology, psychology, and sociol- ogy as well as completion courses in cultural stud- ies, womens’ studies, and environmental/resource sciences. Its professors in Oshawa also teach in Peter- borough. The campus ser- vices approximately one- tenth of Trent University’s 8,000 students. There are 760 students for the 08/09 school year -- 445 full-time and 315 part-time students -- in Oshawa. Five years ago, there were only 267 full-time and 450 part-time students. Part- time is defined as anybody who takes three courses or less. “We’re starting to shift towards more full than part-time students. Part of the reason for that is UOIT opened four years ago and provides a lot of services that Trent students can uti- lize while they’re on-site. The other reason is a lot of Durham College students come over to us now for transfer credits,” says Mr. Cameron. Early childhood educa- tion students at Durham College are one of the pri- mary groups who go on to compliment their certificate by taking a degree at Trent and using their Durham College credits towards that degree. When Trent first began offering courses in Oshawa in 1972, they were held at the YMCA and other places that have classrooms. In 1977, Trent began using Durham College facilities for its classes. The campus’ humble beginnings are still felt in Trent Oshawa’s close-knit, relaxed atmosphere, says Mr. Cameron. “It’s a smaller campus, with less people. We have a 16-to-1 student-professor ratio, while Peterborough has a 22-to-1 student-pro- fessor ratio,” he says. Many of Trent’s graduates go on to teachers’ college, law school, and graduate studies, says Mr. Cameron. Oliver Cooper, a Pickering resident, decided to return to university after eight years of working. He wanted to attend some place close to his home. While taking a four- year degree in sociology with a minor in psychol- ogy, he discovered he’d like to return to law school. “Oliver attributes many of the opportunities he’s had with getting to know the faculty and his fellow students. Being on a small- er campus allowed him to do that,” says Mr. Cameron. The open house takes place Thursday, March 13 in the Gordon Willey build- ing, south wing hallway, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It includes a campus tour, lunch, and display tables from all departments. Participants will have the chance to talk to faculty and other support staff. RSVP by calling 1-888-739-8885. Want to know what’s happening in Pickering? BE INFORMED!

Celebrates 35 Years of Satisfying Customers Trent wants to show what it offers at Oshawa campus Ron Pietroniro/News Advertiser photo Professor Teresa DeCicco teaches her Trent psychology class about personality disorders. Trent University is having an open house on March 13 where you can find out about other subjects they offer at the Durham College/UOIT campus. It’s true. According to a recent study by Statistics Canada, conditions such as panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry, specifi c phobias, post- traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compul- sive disorder affect 12% of Canadians each year. That’s the bad news. The good news is that all of the above are absolutely treatable –often without the need for medication. According to Health Canada and the Cana- dian Mental Health Association, there are only two scientifi cally supported treatments available for people with anxiety disorders and/or depres- sion: 1. drug therapy, and 2. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Drug therapy involves the use of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication, while CBT is a form of psychotherapy – or “talk therapy” – administered by a clinical psychologist. Scientifi c studies have shown that CBT is just as effective as drugs in the short term in dealing with mild to moderate anxiety or depression, and more effective in the long term at preventing relapses. But, unlike with drugs, CBT carries no unwanted side-effects or long-term chemical dependence. “CBT is remarkably effective,” says Dr. David Direnfeld, a registered psy- chologist and clinical director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Ther- apy in Ajax, On- tario. Dr. Diren- feld earned his Ph.D. from the State Uni- versity of New York at Buffalo, and has been practicing CBT since the early 90s. “CBT is one of the great psychological breakthroughs of the 20th cen- tury,” he says. So what is CBT, anyway? “CBT is based on the idea that the way we feel and behave is a result of the way we think,” ex- plains Dr. Direnfeld. “In other words, our feelings and behaviours are controlled by our thoughts, rather than by external things, like people, situa- tions or events.” According to Dr. Direnfeld, this means we can always change the way we feel and behave, even if the situations in our lives stay the same. All told, CBT helps patients learn effective self- help skills, and gain independence and assertive- ness in dealing with real-life issues. According to Health Canada, CBT is now the preferred mode of non-medicinal treatment for a range of psycho- logical disorders, from anger to panic, eating dis- orders and personality problems. But recent research suggests that some mental health therapists may still be using treatments that are not based on empirical evidence. “It’s very important to ask questions about your psychologist’s level of training,” warns Dr. Direnfeld. “Make sure the person is registered with the On- tario College of Psychologists, and make sure they are only using scientifi cally validated treatments, such as CBT.” For more information about CBT, or to make an appointment at the Centre for Cognitive Behav- iour Therapy, call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt. ca. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative to medication. In fact, study after study has shown CBT to be as effective as pills for the treatment of depression and more effective than pills for the treatment of anxiety. Regain control of your life.

The Generals lost the game 10-9 after a shootout against the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors. Former star has number retired By Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The hockey career of arguably the most dominant ju- nior hockey player ever came full circle Thursday at the General Mo- tors Centre. Eric Lindros was back in town and, with family, friends and many former teammates on hand, his fa- mous No. 88 was lifted to the rafters in a pre-game ceremony. Though many of the organizational faces have changed, and so to has the arena in which he skated, Lindros appeared thrilled to be back in the city where it all began. And why not? With the excep- tion of a seven-year span through the mid 1990’s, some would argue Lindros, once dubbed ‘The Next One’, failed to live up to such lofty expectations. With the following and fanfare with which he entered the National Hockey League, that may very well be the case. But, if there was one place he certainly met and exceeded those standards it was in Oshawa with the Generals. Though he only spent parts of three seasons with the hockey club, a span of 95 games, Lindros left many in awe with his raw ability to dominate a hockey game, compiling totals of 97-119- 216 during that stretch. “I can remember the first game when he came to us,” recalls for- mer coach Rick Cornacchia, who guided Lindros and the Generals to the 1990 Memorial Cup. “We were playing Ottawa and he domi- nated right off the bat, and he con- tinued to dominate and get better, making his teammates better. We had a real good team that year and he came in and added that missing link that we needed to win.” Originally drafted by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, Lindros refused to report to the club and was later dealt to the Generals. As controversial as the trade was, it turned out to be one that worked out wonderfully for both parties as each team won a championship within three years of each other. During that championship run of 1990, Lindros led the club to a seven-game series triumph over the Kitchener Rangers to earn a berth in the Memorial Cup. He then led the tournament in scoring with nine points, all assists, includ- ing one on Bill Armstrong’s double overtime tournament winner. Predictably, Lindros looks back on that run fondly. “We had a really good team and things just fell into place for us,” he recalls. “We worked really hard, had a lot of fun and you get a little bit of luck every once and a while.” The following season, he cap- tured a number of awards, includ- ing the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the league’s top scorer, the Red Tilson Trophy as league MVP and the Canadian Hockey League player-of-the-year award. As impressive a resume as that is, Lindros seemed uncomfortable speaking of the personal accolades, instead wanting to focus on his ex- perience in Oshawa as a whole. “It’s hard at the time to really re- alize it, but playing here and being in the city of Oshawa and playing for the Generals are some of the best times you’re every going to have,” he said as he watched the current Generals fall 10-9 to Mis- sissauga. Coincidently on No. 88’s night, at one point the team’s were tied 8-8. Meanwhile, for Cornacchia, word of Lindros’s attempt to de- flect the spotlight is nothing new. “One of the things that he always did very well was deflect attention to his teammates and linemates,” he says. “That takes a special per- son.” Though Lindros seemed in awe of the facility in which the current Generals outfit plays, the friendly confines of the Civic Auditorium are not lost on him. “It was very loud... You always knew when you were getting on the ice at the Civic with 4,200 people behind you,” says Lindros. Thanks to a lengthy battle with the injury bug, questions remain as to how good Lindros was. But a career spanning 13 sea- sons in which he totaled 865 points in 760 games along with multiple all-star appearances, a Hart Tro- phy, an appearance in the Stanley Cup finals and an Olympic gold medal among other things would be enough to give many an envious feeling. 50 years later: Blair reflects on the creation of the Whitby Dunlops Architect of 1958 World Championship team looks back with fondness By Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM — As Wren Blair sits reclined in his chair, the first men- tion of the Whitby Dunlops brings a huge smile to his face. These days, the 82-year-old hockey legend calls Hillside Manor home, but some 50 years ago, the only home he really knew was the local rinks. And the Dunlops stood as the primary family in those homes. As Blair looks back on a career in the game of hockey that took him from Oshawa to Whitby to Kingston then onto the pro ranks with the Boston Bruins, Minnesota North Stars, Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins, among other places, he holds his memories of the Dunlops close to his heart. “It would be hard to say the Dunlops aren’t No. 1,” he said when asked which of his accom- plishments he values most. “I’ve got lots of things to be proud of and that’s right up there.” With the 50th anniversary of the Dunlops’ 1958 World Cham- pionship win in Oslo, Norway ap- proaching, it gave Blair a chance to recount how the Dunlops were transformed from the Oshawa Truckmen of Ontario Hockey As- sociation’s Senior B League, to the team that became the best of the best in senior hockey in the late 1950s. The most vivid memory he pos- sesses is of he and his Dunlops standing on the blue-line at the conclusion of their world champi- onship win over the Soviet Union, with the Canadian national an- them ringing throughout the rink. “Standing there after beating the Soviet Union in the final and lis- tening to the national anthem with all the guys belting along... it was a memory that never left the guys,” he says. Winning a world championship was a long road travelled for the Dunlops. Blair originally formed the fran- chise in 1952 as the Oshawa Truck- men of the OHA’s Senior B League. While the on ice product thrived, finishing in first place during their first season, the disappointment of a first round playoff exit dwarfed in comparison to what would follow. Not long before the start of the season, the Hambly Arena, then home of the Truckmen, was de- stroyed by fire. With no rink and no equipment, Blair and the Truck- ✦ See Dunnies, Page 10 ‘Playing here... and playing for the Generals are some of the best times you’re ever going to have.’ -- ERIC LINDROS newsdurhamregion.com Watch the video at newsdurhamregion.com men were left in limbo. Determined to carry on, Blair was at the Bowman- ville Arena only hours after the fire to broker a deal that would allow the team to play there. Soon after, Blair had placed an order to restock his team with equipment in time to start the season. But the problems didn’t subside. From a financial standpoint, the club was still struggling. Nobody was com- ing to watch. The team played the first game of the playoffs in Bow- manville, and lost home ice advantage. As it turned out, home ice advantage wouldn’t mean anything the rest of the way. “We weren’t drawing in Bowmanville, so for that se- ries we moved all our games to Kingston,” says Blair, not- ing that their cut from the gate proceeds allowed the team to get out of debt. “We played our home games against Stouffville there in the next round and in the final against Simcoe, we played all the games there.” Essentially, that was the berth of the Whitby fran- chise. There was no going back to Bowmanville or Os- hawa. At first the club was tabbed as the Whitby Seniors, but thanks to support from the Dunlop Rubber Company, the evolution of a champion began. Of course, it started with the same sparse support as crowds of roughly 200 repre- sented the Whitby fan base, which left Blair puzzled at the time. “I couldn’t figure it out,” he says. “It was disappointing seeing crowds of less than 200 in an arena that could hold 1,100.” But the crowds did begin to grow and as the team con- tinued to win, the Dunlops moniker was added. Whitby played out the year in the Senior B loop, before losing in the playoffs to Cornwall. Another Senior B cham- pionship followed the next season. Then Blair made a failed attempt to gain the Dunlops an entry into the Senior A league, which would give them a chance to vie for the Allan Cup. The existing loop refuted his overtures, so Blair and his Senior B counterparts turned their league into the Eastern Ontario Senior A League, setting the Dunlops up to take a run at the prized Allan Cup in 1957. Whitby won the coveted trophy by sweeping aside Spokane in four games after some hard fought battles with the likes of Kitchener and North Bay. But the best was yet to come for the Dunnies. In 1958 the Dunlops were se- lected to represent Canada at the world championships, and after a boat trip across the Atlantic in which several players battled bouts of sea sickness, the Dunlops did Canada proud. With the likes of Bob At- tersley, Frank Bonello, Alf Treen, Charlie Burns, Sandy Air, Ted O’Connor and Sin- den among others, the Dun- lops won their first three games overseas by a com- bined score of 51-1. But the final, no doubt, provided the long lasting memories. Tied 2-2 with time winding down in the third, Attersley scored the game winner as the Dunnies held on for a 4-2 victory. “When that final ended and the championship tro- phy was presented to Sin- den... that’s a moment I’ll never forget,” says Blair.
