The Canadian Food Inspection Agency re- cently confirmed the first Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation in Durham. The affected trees are located in the Finch Avenue and Liv- erpool Road area on a residential street. It was discovered by a municipal arbourist. The beetles are native to Asia and were likely first introduced to North America in the 1990s. Once they infest an ash tree, their larvae feed under the bark, creating little tunnels which disrupt the transport of nutrients and water in the tree, killing it in as little as two years. The first infestation was discovered in the Windsor and Detroit area in 2002 and the EAB has since been found in other states in the U.S., parts of Southwestern Ontario, including the London area, and Toronto. Windsor arbourists report a 95-per-cent mortality rate among affected trees, said Brian Hamilton, EAB project specialist for the Cana- dian Food Inspection Agency. “We’re pretty confident it’s an efficient tree- killing insect,” he said. Most recently, infestations have been re- ported in other areas of the GTA, including Vaughan, and outside of Montreal. The CFIA is still assessing the situation in Durham. “We don’t know how it got there, it could have just moved on its own or more likely it’s firewood.” Naturally, the bugs would only spread a few kilometres each year, leading experts to be- Destructive beetle found in Pickering YOU’VE GOT TO DRESS FOR THE COLD AJ Groen / News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Crossing guard Gail Cooper doesn’t mind the cold, she just bundles up. She noted Wednesday that, despite her good gloves, her fingers still feel the cold. ✦ See Insect, Page 2 lieve it’s being brought to new areas in wood materials, including firewood. Mr. Hamilton said the CFIA is looking at restrictions for recently infested areas, includ- ing banning the movement of ash trees and products and all firewood outside of the area. It’s yet to be decided how large an area the restriction will cover, but it could be all of Dur- ham and York. This will likely cost at least one local nurs- ery hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Well, it’s kind of devastating as far as that species of tree goes,” said Mike Tillaart, owner of Pickering-based Dutchmaster Nurseries. “I guess in the back of our minds we knew it would eventually end up over here.” Dutchmaster Nurseries also owns sites in Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. Five years ago, ash was one of the nursery’s top sellers. But as the EAB has spread, they’ve been receiving fewer orders. Still, the com- pany had planned to sell 5,000 to 6,000 this year, with each tree priced from $80 to $300 or $400. Nurseries plant trees four to seven years before they’re ready to be sold. “You plant these trees years in advance, speculating a little on the market,” said Mr. Tillaart. For now, the company is waiting to see what the directives the CFIA will impose. One of the ironies of the situation is that ash are one of the heartiest varieties of trees available and will be tough to replace said Mr. Tillaart. They currently represent between 15 and 30 per cent of the urban forest. durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 15, 2009 ✦ Insect from page one Don’t Move Firewood The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is asking the public to help stop the spread of destructive pests such as the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) which has killed millions of ash trees in Canada. Simply, the public is asked not to move firewood from one area to another. Buy it and burn it locally and never bring it back home, the CFIA advises. The organization says the destruction of forests by pests can have wide-reach- ing effects, including people in the lumber industry losing their jobs and animals losing their habitats.

Murder conspiracy case to jury soon By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Crown’s case against two Hells Angels accused of plotting to kill a rival doesn’t pass the common sense test, a defence lawyer has told jurors. “The Crown has presented you with a case that makes no sense,” Glen Orr said in making final submissions to a Superior Court jury Tuesday. “They are asking you to apply common sense to a case that makes no sense.” Mr. Orr represents Remond Akleh, who along with Mark Stephenson has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to commit murder and coun- selling to commit murder. The Crown alleges Mr. Stephenson, president of the Oshawa chap- ter of the Hells Angels, and Mr. Akleh, a member of the club’s Nomads wing, enlisted a fel- low Angel to kill Frank Lenti, a biker with ties to the rival Bandidos gang. The key Crown witness against the accused men in this trial is Steven Gault, a police agent who infiltrated the Hells Angels to gather evidence of drug trafficking. Mr. Gault tes- tified Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Akleh recruited him in June 2006 to assassinate Mr. Lenti. The alleged plot was never acted upon. During the trial, which began in October, the defence has striven to discredit Mr. Gault, who has a lengthy his- tory of crimes of violence and dishonesty, and to assail the Crown’s theory that Mr. Akleh and Mr. Stephenson entrusted him with killing Mr. Lenti. The jury has heard at length how Mr. Akleh had a chilly re- lationship with Mr. Stephen- son and about his outright en- mity with Mr. Gault. Mr. Akleh ran afoul of Mr. Gault -- and the Oshawa Hells Angels -- several years ago by airing his suspicions that Mr. Gault was a police informant, the jury heard. Mr. Akleh testified at trial his allegations resulted in confrontations with Mr. Gault and other bikers. The resulting tension led him to feel so un- safe he left the Oshawa Angels charter for the Nomads, based in Ottawa and moved his fam- ily away from Durham Region. Mr. Orr said Tuesday it de- fies logic that Mr. Akleh would enter into a murder plot with a man he believed to be a snitch. “Who but an idiot -- who but a moron -- would recruit or hire a man that he believed to be a police informant to kill another man?” Mr. Orr asked. Mr. Orr said the Crown had established no motive for Mr. Akleh to want Mr. Lenti dead; indeed, he said, evidence shows Mr. Akleh twice voted to have Mr. Lenti accepted as a Hells Angel. And he urged jurors to reject the Crown’s as- sertion Mr. Akleh went along with the plot for the good of the club. “He’s not a company man,” Mr. Orr said. “He’s not a man who would kill for the club.” Mr. Orr and Brian Grys, coun- sel for Mr. Stephenson, also spent much time in their sum- mations targeting Mr. Gault, whom they depicted as a ca- reer grifter and liar who would be willing to frame the men on trial to increase the amount of money he made as a po- lice agent. Mr. Gault was paid in excess of $1 million for the project that saw Mr. Akleh, Mr. Stephenson, and several other bikers busted in the fall of 2006, jurors heard. Today, Justice Bruce Glass was to deliver his charge to the jury, after which the panel will be sequestered until they reach a verdict.

He’s not a man who would kill for the club.’ -- LAWYER GLENN ORR ON HIS CLIENT, REMOND AKLEH Earth Day marks pay or switch date at Loblaw stores By Stefanie Swinson sswinson@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The days are num- bered for free plastic shopping bags at Durham Region’s largest grocery chain. Beginning April 22 it will cost five cents for each plastic grocery bag when you check out at Loblaw stores. The company wants customers to choose reuseable bags instead. “Our goal is to divert one billion plastic bags from landfills in 2009,” said Inge van den Berg, vice-presi- dent of public relations and inves- tor relations for Loblaw. But Sobey’s, a leading competi- tor, is leaving it up to shoppers to decide whether to switch without charging a bag fee. “We have been selling reuse- able bags at the checkouts of all our Sobey’s stores for the past two years,” said Tracy Chisholm, Sobey’s director of communica- tions. The grocer charges 99 cents for the “green bag for life” which is replaced free of charge if it breaks. “Some people just like using plastic bags,” Ms. Chisholm said. For those customers Sobey’s has a plastic grocery bag recycling pro- gram. “Price Choppers (owned by Sobey’s) will be our only store with the plastic bag charge,” she said. Metro -- which owns A&P -- will begin to charge for plastic grocery bags come June, but it won’t affect shoppers in Durham Region. “We will be implementing the five-cent charge in all of our Toron- to stores, but we’re still evaluating the situation to decide if we’ll bring the program outside of the city,” said Selena Fiacco, Metro’s director of communications. The Quebec-based grocer was one of the first companies to offer reusable bags. But Ms. van den Berg at Loblaw said re-useable bags are just one green alternative. “Let’s say you forget your green bag. For a $4.99 deposit you can bring your groceries home in a green bin.” The bins will be available at every Loblaw store and you can choose to keep the basket or you can bring it back on your next visit and you will get your deposit refunded. And if you’re one of those shop- pers who always seems to forget their reuseable bags, Loblaw will have “green greeters at the front entrance of each store to remind people to bring their bags. If you still choose to buy plastic bags, you may get more use out of them. Some of the money from the five cent charge has gone into rede- signing the plastic shopping bags. Each Loblaw plastic grocery bag will be 35 per cent bigger and 25 per cent thicker. “It will be able to hold a third more groceries,” said Ms. van den Berg. “And because it’s a tougher bag, you can reuse it easier ... about four or five times.” The City of Toronto became the company’s pilot for the new pro- gram on Jan. 12. “We don’t know how the system will be adopted,” said Ms. van den Berg. “That’s why we’re testing it out in Toronto first before we go nationwide.” The majority of the proceeds from the sale of plastic shopping bags will be used to cover the cost of the Loblaw plastic bag reduction program and the rest will be do- nated to environmental charities and groups like the World Wildlife Fund of Canada.

The Durham couple is trying to get into the habit of using reuseable bags. “II was working in my trade the day after grad- uation, and am looking forward to a great SECOND CAREER in plumbing, thanks to the Youth Apprenticeship Stan- dards Council and the Pre-Ap- prenticeship Training Institute.” Radcliffe Dixon, Plumbing Pre- Apprenticeship graduate, sum- mer 2008. Established in June 2008, the Youth Apprentice- ship Standards Council (YASC) came onto the scene just as the Ontario govern- ment launched its SECOND CA- REERS program. YASC is a non- pro t organiza- tion established to provide access to skilled trades and safety training and to link member employees with potential employers. For those with no experience in the trades, individuals receive tools, safety equipment, safety training and hands on training through YASC’s only approved training facility – Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute (PAT). PAT currently trains people in Electri- cal, Plumbing, HVAC, Network Cabling and Small Appliance Repair and graduates meeting the YASC standards will be linked with employers in the industry including contractors, distribut- ers and manufacturers. This state of the art training facility has quickly become the industry stan- dard for skilled trades training, with PAT graduates being sought after by big and small companies in the GTA. Together the Youth Apprenticeship Standards Coun- cil and PAT have set the standard for entry level workers into the skilled trades and have become recognized by the industry as the place to hire from and the place to train! Historically, apprenticeships were secured by obtaining em- ployment with a company and by apprenticing with a journeyman. More then ever before employ- ers are hiring people with strong foundational skills that can be obtained through a recognized pre-apprenticeship program. The Industry Standard What does the industry have to say about Youth Apprenticeship Standards Council and its approved training facility? With 35% to 50% of skilled trades people set to re- tire over the next 10 years, most employers feel the Youth Appren- ticeship Standards Council and PAT are long overdue. The Pre-Appren- ticeship Training Institute was founded in 2005, because there was a desperate need for skilled people in the in- dustry and no one was providing the solution for employers. As Rui Cunha, the facility’s direc- tor of operations was quoted as saying in the industry’s Network Cabling magazine (Anthony Capkun, Jan/Feb 2008) “We don’t function like a tradition- al school,” he added, “We’re more like the employer’s Hu- man Resource and Training Department.” Cunha went on to say that employers who hire from PAT see the Institute as a partner, helping them grow their busi- nesses with good people. The response to PAT and now YASC has been outstanding. Their industry partners include companies like Bell Technical Solutions, O’Neil Electric, and Hubbell (whose support of PAT has included donations of mate- rials for their Network Cabling Specialist program and product demonstrations by Hubbell’s Yves Thibodeau). Manufactur- ers such as DeWalt, Napoleon and Moen proudly sponsor tools and materials and are looking forward to being scholarship sponsors with YASC in the near future. Industry associations have also become strong supporters. The PAT Institute is a proud member of the Ontario Electri- cal League (OEL) and has gained the League’s full sup- port and as quoted in their industry maga- zine, The Dialogue in August 2008 “stands behind the training and recruit- ment efforts of this Institute and en- courages members to consider PAT Institute pre- apprentice graduates for employ- ment.” The electrical industry represents a large percentage of employers who now hire exclu- sively through the Youth Ap- prenticeship Standards Council and PAT. John Greco, the pres- ident of a large electrical com- pany in Toronto was quoted as saying “To date, our com- pany has 12 (PAT Institute) former stu- dents working full-time….we have found that the apprentices that graduate from the Pre- Apprenticeship Institute program t into the real work environ- ment easily and are productive from day one. We look forward to accepting Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute graduates in the future.” Over 300 employers are al- ready experiencing the many bene ts of hiring PAT Institute pre-apprentice graduates. The Institute and their partner YASC work with both union and non- union employers – with both groups nding great value and bene ts from the services offered through the Institute and Council. Unions like the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) recommend the PAT Institute as the preferred recruitment and training facility for their contrac- tors and have been quoted (Dia- logue – August 2008) as saying, “We have been impressed with the Institute’s quality training and dedication to promoting the skilled trades….They have built an impressive training program where participants receive their training in a hands-on, practi- cal manner. Their large training centre allows for participants to put into practice everything they have learned. Further, we ap- preciate the integrated role that safety plays in all aspects of their curriculum.” In this province where thousands of jobs have been lost in the last year, many individuals are taking advantage of the government’s SECOND CAREERS program and looking to YASC for their link to both training (through PAT) and employers/contrac- tors. Radcliffe Dixon, a former employee of Johnson Controls (a Tier 2 supplier to the automotive industry, and GM in particular) was one such individual. Upon receiving notice that he was to be laid off, Radcliffe starting look- ing into options and came across the Youth Apprenticeship Stan- dards Council. “It was a perfect t for me! YASC’s approved training facility – PAT, offered a three month training program in plumbing – a trade I was always interested in. They (PAT) pro- vided me with my tools, safety equipment, safety training and all the materials I needed to learn as much as I could in those three months to really be produc- tive when I went out to work.” Radcliffe also commented that the fact that PAT and YASC had the reputa- tion of being the place “where industry hires” really appealed to him. “Pre-Apprenticeship is the only training facil- ity approved by YASC and it was through them that I landed my rst plumbing job with a prominent plumbing contractor. I am now out work- ing in the trade, earning a living and well on my way to becom- ing a licensed plumber. With the professional way Youth Apprentice- ship Stan- dards Council promotes PAT graduates and the training I received at PAT, it’s no wonder con- tractors are hiring exclu- sively from these organi- zations.” Rad- cliffe gradu- ated at the end of August and has been working steady with a commercial plumbing company that works all over the GTA. Dwight Matthews is another graduate who tells a similar sto- ry. “I was working for a large na- tional company with little room to grow. I decided it was time to look for a second career and after looking around at different ca- reer paths and training facilities; I picked the PAT Institute and their electrical program because of its recognition in the industry as the standard for the industry. After three months of intensive hands on training my company hired me the day I graduated. I had no need to look for a job because this is where employers in the industry come to hire. My entire class graduated on Friday and was working on Monday. That was two years ago! Today I have bought a house and I’m cur- rently the union steward for my company.” Second Careers – A New Beginning More than just training, the Youth Apprenticeship Standards Coun- cil and the Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute are offering individuals, such as those hard hit by the automotive industry lay-offs a chance at a “second career”. With the average age of students ranging between 22 and 40, they are now enrolling more and more mature students…. anxious to be working and real- izing that the trades are a stable and secure career option, a career that will be less impacted by the economic climate than other sectors. With an ever grow- ing number of employers hiring through YASC, all stu- dents achiev- ing the stan- dard of 75% in their trade and employabil- ity skills are promoted by YASC to member employers and nd work. As well, YASC provides job links for experienced appren- tices and licensed trades people. This is the place where industry hires and where opportunities for SECOND CAREERS begin.

If not, we will train you to YASC standards and then get you to work. “I was working in my trade the day after graduation.” Are you looking for a SECOND CAREEER?

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 15, 2009 durhamregion.com I love my children dearly, but I’ve come to realize that living with a teenager is like living with one of the undead. It’s true. The parallels are frightening. Like all zombies they seem to have an acute aversion to daylight, often staying in bed until well into the afternoon when the sun is safely past its zenith. If you don’t believe me, walk into your teenager’s room while he or she is in bed and fling the curtains open. That sun is like muriatic acid to them. Their purple ringed eyes will grimace in agony as they dart their pale, bloodless faces, turtle-like back into the dank, soothing darkness of covers. When eventually they do rise from the crypt, they are, like all zombies, insatiably hungry. They shuffle past the living, ignor- ing our cheerful, if sarcastic, “Good after- noons!” salivating mouths agape, cadaver- ous arms stretched, pointing to the fridge. At once they will begin to gorge on their favourite zombie foods: leftover pizza, milk, cookies, any kind of animal flesh. Another trait that teens share with the undead is that neither has any use for a beverage container beyond the original milk jug or juice carton. The concept of glasses or cups is completely foreign to them. On the upside, my wife has acciden- tally hit on a wonderful way to keep teen zombies out of the kitchen or to at least make their stay there as short as possible. She places large bowls of fresh fruit and containers of vitamins on the table. This is like garlic or a crucifix to these creatures and has the marvellous effect of sending them to the nearest video game console. Once sated with food, teen zombies are at their most amenable but must still be approached with the utmost caution. They are unpredictable creatures at the best of times and have been known to snap and bite heads off at the slightest provocation. Communication may be attempted at this point but it is wise to keep things simple, non-confrontational and preferably mono- syllabic. I have had good success with “Hello,” “Nice day” and “Here’s a twenty.” Money, especially in denominations of tens or greater, seems to greatly appease the teen zombie. I actually have rare video footage of one of my children muttering “Thank you” after one such exchange. The picture is grainy and lasts only a moment before going black as my wife passed out after hearing those words. Phrases to be avoided at all costs are: “Do you have any homework?” “Have you cleaned your room?” “Can I have a hug?” Careless use of any of the above may send the teen zombie into a hormonally- induced rage resulting in tears, incompre- hensible whining and almost acrobatic sulking. Another trait teens share with the undead is that they seem to be impervious to or completely unconscious of inclem- ent weather. Witness the hordes of them clumping about, pizza slices in hand, hat- less, coatless and bootless in conditions that would ground air traffic. And yet they never get sick. Remarkable. Like all zombies, our teens can be fright- ening, exasperating and very tiresome. There are times when we are tempted to board up the windows and keep them and their zombie friends out of our homes. But, just like in the movies, we must remem- ber that inside that zombie, a prisoner of pubescence, is our kid. And if we hang in there long enough, the body will heal itself and that child that we love so much, will return. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Plastic bag fee will help to change grocery store behaviour I f you’re eager to change consumer behaviour there is usually no better way to do that than through the pock- etbook. That’s why the decision by Loblaw to charge five cents per plastic grocery bag should help push shoppers away from plastic and towards reusable contain- ers and cloth bags. And that’s ultimately good for the environment. The move has already happened in Toronto and will branch out to Durham and other parts of Ontario and Canada on April 22, Earth Day. A portion of the five-cent fee will go toward environmen- tal charities and groups like the World Wildlife Fund of Canada. Of course, Loblaw isn’t the first grocery store to charge a fee for plastic grocery bags. Price Chopper and Food Basics, for instance, have been charging a per-bag fee for years. So has No Frills. So Loblaw isn’t necessarily breaking new ground with its decision to charge a fee. But it is joining a trend and elimi- nating an option for shoppers looking for stores that offer free plastic bags. The message is clear: fewer and fewer super- markets in future will let you have the option of having free plastic bags with your groceries. With reusable bags often encouraged for a cheap price at stores -- usually 99 cents per bag -- shoppers are encouraged to pick up several bags and use them over and over and over again. It’s good for the environment, sets a fine example for children, means less is spent on plastic grocery bags and keeps our landfills free of waste. In the end, saving landfills or, eventu- ally, incinerator space, is the key. We have to find ways of cutting down the amount of waste we create and every little bit helps. Every time a Durham shopper forgoes a plastic grocery bag in favour of a reusable container or cloth bag, that contributes to the cause. Mul- tiply that by thousands and thousands of bags over years and years and you can see how it can all add up. Like recycling bottles and cans, using reusable bags helps our quality of life and makes our community a better place for all of us to live. We can help out by doing our part. World of the teenage zombie Neil Crone/ Enter Laughing Time for Jim Flaherty to get on with the job To the editor: It’s high time Jim Flaherty get on with what he is being paid to perform or move on and get out of politics. I am not impressed with his track record so far. In my opinion, he has put himself and the present government in a most ridicu- lous and embarrassing situation and as the end result have left the people hold- ing the bag. Savings have dwindled on our invest- ments and the monies that were in reserve are being depleted quickly. On the same note, Canadians have no more desire to have our troops in Afghanistan. It’s time to reassess and attempt to get better results.

The club earned a split of On- tario Junior Hockey League contests, starting with a strong effort against the Peterborough Liftlock Stars that nonetheless yielded a 6-4 loss at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday. On Saturday night in Mississauga, the Panthers -- not known as an of- fensive juggernaut -- filled the net against the Chargers, but still per- severed for a 9-8 overtime victory. Eammon Courtney was the hero for the Panthers, netting the game win- ner just 47 seconds into the extra five-minute frame. Jeff Broekema earned an assist. While Panthers’ head coach Bill Brady was glad to see his players score goals by the bucketful, he was somewhat disappointed that it came down to the last shot to win it in overtime. “It was good to see that we can do that (offensively),” Brady said. “It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t enjoy the luxury of scoring that many goals in a tight hockey game.” Although it was far from a defen- sive gem for the Panthers, Brady said Saturday’s shinny-type affair was the exception rather than the rule for the club of late. “Since the new year, I thought we’ve played extremely well defen- sively. But, for whatever reason, it got away from us (on Saturday) and we got into a battle. We couldn’t shut them down, but they couldn’t shut us down either.” At home against Peterborough, the Panthers scored four times in the third period, but came up short in a game they played well enough to win, Brady said. “We dominated for most of the game, especially in the second peri- od, but we still came out of it down,” he said. The post-season came about for the last-place Panthers by virtue of the Trenton Hercs ceasing opera- tions for the remainder of the OHA Ontario Junior Hockey League sea- son. So, the Panthers are the benefi- ciary of the eighth and final post-sea- son berth in the Ruddock Division by default. It’s not the way the Panthers want- ed to cross the threshold into the playoffs, but they’ll take it. “We’re going to see where we can go with it,” Brady said. Now, all that’s to be decided is if the Panthers can move up in the division standings and attain a bet- ter playoff seeding. Currently, the Panthers have 12 games remaining and have one in hand over the sev- enth-place Whitby Fury. After last weekend’s play, the Pan- thers (8-23, 3 OT wins, 2 OT losses, 1 shootout loss) remain three points back of the Fury. But, the Fury could be awarded two more points as they may get those points for a game against now-defunct Trenton. Although no decision’s been made by the league as of yet, Brady suspects they’ll rule in favour of each team getting two points for their re- maining games against Trenton. “If Whitby’s given the points it might be extremely tough to chase them,” he said. The Panthers can make up some ground on Whitby with a game to- night (Thursday) at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. On Friday, Pickering hosts the Bowmanville Eagles at the complex at 7:30 p.m. and, on Sun- day, they’re in Port Hope against the Predators at 7 p.m. Pickering Panthers make playoffs...by default Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Panthers’ goalie Tyler Kimmel keeps his eyes on the puck as Mike Ryan of the Peterborough Liftlock Stars looks for a deflection in front of the net. The Stars defeated the Panthers 6-4. Panthers’ Postscript The Panthers were relatively quiet at the league’s trade dead- line on Saturday. The lone deal was picking up goaltender Tyler Kimmel from the Orangeville Crushers for future consider- ations. Brady says they hope to use Kimmel as the team’s No. 1 goaltender for the stretch run and on into the playoffs. Kimmel played nine games and had five wins, including a shutout victory, for Orangeville, while posting a 2.58 goals against average. Kim- mel started against Peterborough on Friday, making 13 saves in a losing cause... The Panthers had nine different scorers in the their 9-8 overtime shootout victory with Mississauga. Scoring were Richard Duncan, Greg Riggs, Connor Ste. Marie, Brandon Porco, Cole Watkins, Jeff Broekema, Scott Brown, Kyle Ramsay and Courtney... Tyler von Engelbrechten, Mike Lucifora, Brown and Porco scored for Pickering against Pe- terborough. Ajax Attack poised to set new franchise mark for victories Two more wins would set new record for a season By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The Ajax Attack is on the verge of making some fran- chise history in the not-so-dis- tant future. And, Attack head coach Carey Durant is anxious for his players to set a new standard for wins for an Ajax junior hockey team. “It will be a real feather in our cap to get more than 23 wins. When we beat that record all the stuff people have labeled us for will be gone.” And, when you’re a franchise that’s seen its fair share of sub- par seasons in the past, to have a team that’s on the brink of going where no Ajax junior team has gone before, be it the Attack or its predecessor, the Axemen, is a big accomplishment indeed. “To beat that record would be huge,” said Durant. “I almost feel like the Boston Red Sox carrying that weight for so long and hav- ing the curse lifted.” The previous 23-win high- water mark was set while the team was still known as the ‘Axe- men’ during the 2000-01 cam- paign. So far in the 2008-09 OHA On- tario Junior Hockey League sea- son, the Attack has amassed 19 wins and, with two more victories awarded for upcoming games against the now-defunct Tren- ton Hercs, that brings the magic number to two. In other words, the Attack must taste victory twice in their final eight regular- season contests to becoming the winningest squad in franchise history. Durant is more than willing to share the accolades for a season gone right, pointing out the solid work of GM John Tugnutt and especially owner Rob Stein for standing by the club during the vagaries of season’s past. “He put his best foot forward this year and made things hap- pen,” said Durant of Stein, who signed off on three deadline deals to bring in forwards Brett Eagleson and Mark D’Alessandro and defenceman Brock Owen to bolster the team in the stretch run toward the playoffs. The three new players all had an impact as the team earned a Games remaining: 8 Previous season-high for wins: 23, in 2000-01 Current win total: 19 (plus two awarded for games against now-defunct Trenton) ✦ See Ajax, Page 11 split of weekend games against the Lindsay Muskies and the Vil- lanova Knights. Against the Knights, D’Alessandro burned his former team for two goals in leading the Attack to a 5-2 victory at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday. D’Alessandro, 20, who toiled for the Attack two seasons ago, is a welcome addition, mostly for the physical play he brings, not to mention his goal-scoring ability. “He is, by far, the toughest play- er in the OHA. He’s brought a tremendous amount of grit and character to our team. He’s ex- actly what we need,” said Durant. And, Eagleson contributed two points (both assists) in his first two games with the Attack, Du- rant believes he’ll be an impor- tant offensive contributor for the team after coming over from the Markham Waxers in a cash deal. “He’s a phenomenal kid. I didn’t realize he’s as good as he is. He’s a skilled guy and he’s got good leadership qualities. He helps settle the younger players down.” And, stay-at-home defenceman Owen was also a steadying influ- ence on the blue line in his initial two games with the Attack. “His patience and calmness in the way he plays will settle us down,” said Durant. Against the Muskies at the Lind- say Community Centre on Friday, the Attack fell behind 5-1 after two periods. They rallied for two goals in the third before Kevin George scored into an empty net with 32 seconds remaining to end the Ajax uprising. The Attack are in Bowmanville tonight (Thursday) for a makeup game with the Eagles that was previously postponed. The Aja- cian then suit up for back-to-back home dates with the Port Hope Predators on Saturday and the Whitby Fury on Sunday. Both games are at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 15, 2009 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com 1550 BAYLY ST., #35, PICKERING 905.839.0574 www.aroundthehome.ca • KITCHENS • VANITIES KITCHEN RENOVATIONS2 Eavestroughing In Business Since 1970 5”, 6” Seamless Eavestrough Supply • Run off Installation FREE ESTIMATES Eavestroughing, Siding, Soffi t, Fascia 905-426-5001 www.unictrough.ca 759 Kingston Rd.
