DURHAM — Region staff will
take another look at a proposed
sewage odour control facility (OCF)
slated for Pickering after residents
lobbied against the project.
The facility is part of the infra-
structure necessary for an expan-
sion of the York-Durham Sewage
System, also known as the Big
Pipe. A number of residents from
the Cherrywood West subdivision
in Pickering are upset because the
OCF is to be located 300 metres
south of their neighbourhood.
Their main concern is the po-
tential smell if it doesn’t function
as well as engineers are predicting
and the effect on their property
values. They made their case to
Pickering City Council, where they
won support, and to the Region on
Jan. 14.
“Potential buyers will figure out
they would be living quite close to
an odour control facility and who
would want that?” said Grizelda
Verbancic.
Pickering councillors Rick John-
son and Bonnie Littley shared the
residents’ concerns and Coun.
Johnson asked staff to further in-
vestigate the facility, including the
cost of locating it in York Region
instead of Durham.
He said there are odour prob-
lems with an older OCF located
in Pickering that also provides
odour control for the Big Pipe. Re-
gion staff have said in the past
that when it’s working, there are
no odours, but when the facility
breaks down, there’s no back-up
system to prevent odours. The new
facility would have such a system.
Still, Coun. Johnson said he
doesn’t blame residents for being
skeptical that everything will work
well.
“We have existing problems with
the existing facility that’s not been
corrected and now we’re moving
on to another facility.”
Coun. Littley echoed residents
in suggesting the plant be built in
York instead.
“It’s their sewage and it’s their
pipe and it’s their odour, so I think
they should take it on their side.”

Greenwood library re-opens Sunday with scavenger hunt
It’s up to residents to keep it
that way: library CEO
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — After being closed for about
a year, the doors to the Greenwood library
have officially re-opened, but it’s up to the
community to keep them that way, says the
CEO.
“The community really has to step up to
the plate on this one,” Cynthia Mearns said.
Last winter, a couple of floods ruined the
foundation and a broken furnace caused the
library to shut its doors, unbeknownst at
the time if it would be permanent. Since
circulation numbers have greatly decreased
from the mid-1990s, talks of shutting it down
quickly spread throughout Greenwood.
A number of residents, however, felt they
didn’t have an opportunity to make proper
use of the library. The hours were Tuesdays
and Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
and Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m.
“Going to the library is almost impossible,”
resident Lucy Wetherall said at the time, add-
ing 50 school-aged kids in the community
could benefit from after-school library hours.
So, residents went to City Hall and told
Pickering City Council they wanted their li-
brary to stay open. And, realizing the impor-
tance of a library for Greenwood residents, as
well as the significance of the building that
former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker at-
tended as a boy, Council chose to put $58,000
aside for the repairs and a new furnace. Al-
though some of the bills are outstanding, Gil
Paterson, director of corporate services and
treasurer, is confident the costs were within
budget.
The library now has a ramp leading to
the front door for wheelchairs, an acces-
sible washroom, and a fresh coat of paint has
brightened up its inside. A new furnace was
installed and the leak in the basement has
been fixed.
“We’ve added Saturday hours, we’ve added
a storytime and added a new collection,” Ms.
Mearns said.
After consulting the community, the City
has changed the library hours to Tuesdays
from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Wednesdays from
2:30 to 7 p.m.; and Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m.
“People said they’d attend so I hope it gets
used,” she said.
A ceremony to celebrate the library’s re-
opening is set for Saturday, Jan. 17 at 1:30
p.m. at the Greenwood library (3540 Westney
Rd.) An all-ages family storytime and a scav-
enger hunt for children ages eight to 12 will
follow.

rector of environmental services,
said Pickering is technically the
most practical place to put the
OCF since that’s where most of the
odours will be generated because
there will be drops in the pipes
due to geography.
“Putting an odour-control facil-
ity up there in York doesn’t make
practical sense,” he said. Presta
noted, however, it would be tech-
nically possible to build it in York.
Devi Gopalan, who lives about
three kilometres from the pro-
posed OCF site, at the meeting
said she doesn’t feel like her con-
cerns have been adequately ad-
dressed so far. She approved of the
committee’s action.
“I think it was amazing how the
committee pushed for further an-
swers.”
York and Durham regions have
already submitted the environ-
mental assessment for the Big Pipe
extension, including the OCF, and
public comments on the EA are
due Jan. 23. Works commissioner
Cliff Curtis predicts since residents
have expressed their opposition,
the Ministry of the Environment
will ask the two sides to sit down
and try to work out a compro-
mise.

Putting facility in York Region
‘doesn’t make sense’: Durham
official argues
But mayor, councillor
see contradiction
given opposition
to odour facility
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — How can
Pickering City Council oppose
an odour control facility being
built in Pickering, but then ask
for $8 million from the regions
that are putting it there? asked
Ward 3 Re-
gional Coun-
cillor Rick
Johnson.
But, on
Monday, the
City of Pick-
ering’s execu-
tive commit-
tee approved
staff’s sug-
gested en-
hancements that are to come
with the expansion of the York-
Durham Sewage System (Big
Pipe) that runs from York Region
into Pickering.
This happened just before
Pickering denied a proposal
for the Big Pipe’s sewage odour
control facility (OCF) to go into
Cherrywood in Pickering.
The Duffin Creek Water Pollu-
tion Control Plant in Pickering
treats sewage from Durham and
York regions - about 80 per cent
comes from York - and is owned
by both.
Plans have been submitted for
the Southeast Collector Trunk
Sewer Project, needed to handle
the increased waste from York’s
growing population.
As part of the Individual En-
vironmental Assessment pro-
cess, an enhancement plan for
Pickering - set to total about $8
million - is required.
Along the same lines as Coun.
Johnson, Mayor Dave Ryan said
they shouldn’t have discussed
the proposed enhancements at
all since everyone was adamant-
ly against the OCF going into
Cherrywood.
“(It’s) counter-productive and
sending the entire wrong mes-
sage not only to York Region, but
to the community at large,” he
said.
Ward 1 City Councillor Jen-
nifer O’Connell argued since the
City’s “hands were tied” over the
Big Pipe’s approval, Pickering
Council should make sure key
projects are addressed.
“This is the time for the City
to have a net benefit from York
Region hauling its waste to this
city,” she said.
Key infrastructure projects in-
clude reconstructing the Palmer
Bridge on Valley Farm Road ($1.4
million) and improvements to
Beverley Morgan Park ($1 mil-
lion) and Maple Ridge Park
($25,000).
Funding of $20,000 for a Pet-
ticoat Creek Watershed Strate-
gy has already been sent to the
City.
The report will go to Council
on Monday for final approval.
Some of the proposed projects
* Traffic flow improvements at the Liverpool Road and Finch
Avenue intersection - $725,000
* Traffic flow improvements at the Finch Avenue and Valley
Farm Road intersection - $725,000
* Creating a multi-use trail in the Hydro Corridor - $1 mil-
lion
* Restoration of streams in Petticoat Creek - $215,000
* Extension of the Seaton Trail - $217,000
* Restoration of Rouge-Duffins Wildfire Corridor -$110,000
- $200,000
* Soccer fields- Valley Farm Road at Third Concession -
$490,000
‘(It’s) counter-productive
and sending the entire wrong
message not only to York
Region, but to the community
at large.’

Rogers outlets targeted
DURHAM — Robberies at three Rogers
Wireless stores in Ajax and Pickering may be
related, Durham police say.
The first incident happened around 10:30
a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 30, when two suspects
entered the Rogers store on Bayly Street West
in Ajax. They demanded merchandise from
employees and one suspect was armed with a
handgun. A number of cellphones were stolen
before suspects fled in an unknown direction.
No one was hurt.
On Tuesday, Jan. 13, just before 7 p.m., three
suspects entered the Rogers outlet on Kingston
Road East in Ajax, again with one armed with a
handgun. No one was injured and the suspects
fled after taking a quantity of cellphones.
The third incident happened on Wednesday,
Jan. 14, around 10:20 a.m., when three sus-
pects fled from the Rogers store on Brock Road
in Pickering with a number of cellphones.
In all three robberies, the suspects are de-
scribed as male, black, with the faces covered
and wearing dark clothing. Police have no
information on their vehicle.
Weapons were seen and police are warning
the public to consider the suspects armed and
dangerous.
The Durham robbery unit is continuing its
investigation and believe the three may be
related.
Anyone with information is asked to call
Detective Mike Horrocks at 1-888-579-1520,
ext. 5261, or Det. Jim Houston at ext. 5360.
Anonymous tips can be made by calling the

DURHAM — The number of people charged
in connection with what police describe as a
large-scale debit card forging operation con-
tinues to grow.
Durham investigators have now busted 17
people alleged to have been involved. Police
say suspects created fraudulent debit cards
with stolen data.
In the latest round of arrests officers con-
ducted surveillance on a house in Toronto
Sunday, looking for a suspect wanted in con-
nection with the investigation. Cops executed a
search warrant and seized hundreds of forged
debit cards, along with more than $10,000 in
cash and materials they say were used to cre-
ate fraudulent cards.
Police arrested 21-year-old Vigitharan Sel-
varaj of Toronto, who is the man wanted on
charges relating to the original investigation,
and four others: Pararajasingam Ampalavanar,
38, of Finch Avenue East, Toronto; Srimylan
Srivigneswaran, 20, of Ingrid Drive, Toronto;
Prasad Thiruchelvam, 27, of Victoriawood Av-
enue, Markham and Janarthanan Ratnasing-
ham, 27, of Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto.
They face numerous fraud-related charges.
The latest charges are connected to an in-
vestigation in November that led to the arrest
of seven men accused of conducting a card-
skimming operation at a Whitby gas bar. When
those men appeared for bail hearings in Os-
hawa on Dec., 3 fraud cops recognized several
suspects they believed to have used fraudulent
cards at ATMs among those in attendance.
Five additional people were busted at the King
Street courthouse on fraud charges.
Five more busted in card skimming probe

Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was bang on
when he said at a meeting last month, “Bad
economic times are about hardships, but
they’re also about opportunities.”
He made the comment after suggesting
the Region look into servicing some of Dur-
ham’s employment lands as a way to both
stimulate the economy by creating jobs, and
make it easier for new employers to set up
shop quickly.
And, economic times are certainly tough
in Durham. A suffering auto industry has
pushed unemployment up to 7.8 per cent
in the Oshawa census metropolitan area
(CMA), which includes Whitby and Claring-
ton. That’s higher than both the 6.6 per cent
national rate and the 7.2 per cent provincial
rate.
This represents a big reversal of fortune
for the Oshawa CMA since it traditionally
has had lower unemployment than the
province or Canada as a whole.
And, it’s not just the auto sector. Previous-
ly unaffected industries, such as construc-
tion, are now suffering as well.
As a municipal government, Durham can
only do so much to pep up a sluggish econ-
omy. Some things, Durham has already got-
ten right, such as adequately budgeting for
increases in the demand for social services
in 2008, and building up adequate reserves
in case there’s a bigger jump than expected
in the number of people applying for Ontar-
io Works.
Also, councillors are trying to minimize
property tax impacts next year. Yes, there
will be an increase, however residents can
expect close scrutiny of the 2009 budget
from their elected representatives. They’ve
already asked Regional departments to
bring in smaller budgets than initially antic-
ipated.
The Region’s finance department also got
approval to accelerate budgeted construc-
tion projects for 2009 so that the stimulus
generated for the local economy will come
sooner rather than later.
But, the biggest difference will come if
the federal government pumps money into
municipal infrastructure in its next budget.
Working pre-emptively, the Region has
compiled a list of work that’s shovel ready,
meaning no more than 30 days is required
to get them going.
Among them are major water, sewer, road
and bridge upgrades adding up to $377
million-worth of projects. Among them are
upgrades to the Duffins Creek sewage plant,
which will allow for future growth in the
western part of the Region, the rehabilita-
tion of the Wentworth bridge in Oshawa,
and guardrail upgrades. Without federal
money it will take Durham years and years
to install all the guardrails that are needed
on Regional roads. The quicker the work is
done, the safer our communities will be.
Just as important as the lasting improve-
ments federal infrastructure dollars would
pay for is the jobs they would create locally.
The Region estimates if it got all the money
requested, 4,300 jobs would be created.
Can we build our way out of the reces-
sion? Probably not. It will take other factors
to make our economy healthy as a whole.
But, if we don’t move forward with at least
some of these much-need projects, we will
have lost a golden opportunity.

Let’s dig outselves out of
this economic downturn
I f they care about the environment, Ajax
and Pickering residents might have
to put up with new developments in
established areas -- unpalatable as they
may seem.
Growth should, wherever possible, take
the form of infilling in built-up areas. Doing
so avoids sprawl and takes advantage of
existing services.
At two recent meetings, residents
opposed developments that, on the sur-
face, make a lot of sense.
In Pickering, a draft plan of subdivision
was approved by council that would see 23
new homes come to the Rosebank neigh-
bourhood in the southwestern part of the
city.
Roughly a year ago, area residents filled
the council chambers to oppose the proj-
ect. Some of their main concerns were
more traffic in the area, the loss of wildlife
and trees, and the smaller lots in the new
subdivision.
The proposed development is between
existing streets and very close to both
Rouge Park, Canada’s largest urban park,
and the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area.
There’s no shortage of trees and wildlife in
the area. As for traffic, this has to be one of
the quietest residential areas in south Dur-
ham (admittedly a bit tricky to get in and
out of). Larger lots were more common in
the past, but they are not now and a higher
density also helps keep green spaces green
by countering sprawl.
In Ajax, the Town was confronted with
a developer’s plan for a 15-storey condo
tower at Harwood Avenue and Rossland
Road that drew 100 residents to a meeting.
It was the loss of trees on the proposed
building lot and the loss of privacy that
were sticking points for residents. Sev-
enty-five per cent of the lot in question is
covered in trees (although the developer’s
planning consultant said the “intention” is
to preserve a lot of the trees).
This is an increasingly busy area sur-
rounded by homes and employment lands.
Shopping, schools and recreation are
nearby. Again, a great candidate for infill-
ing, given it’s between an existing plaza and
townhouses. Moreover, the 222 units would
start at 635 square feet, providing afford-
able housing that’s lacking in this area.
Now, many residents are chiefly con-
cerned that the tower would overlook their
backyards. Perhaps, there’s a compromise
in that respect.
Infilling can make for strange bedfellows.
We’re thinking of the fairly new housing
development at Bayly Street and Monarch
Avenue in Ajax, nestled in an industrial/
commercial area. Some of those residents
can step out onto their small balconies for a
view of -- the Wendy’s drive-through.
The alternative is further sprawl that’s
more costly to residents and eats up pre-
cious greenspace.
Reka Szekely
Teenager sees all the
wrong moves being made
To the editor:
I’m 18 and I see something wrong with
this country. Why is the government’s solu-
tion to a financial crisis caused by credit to
increase credit availability?
The economy is failing and average
people are losing their jobs all over the
province and country. How much do you
want to bet the executives of big companies
and government officials have yet to take
a pay cut? A government of the people, by
the people, for the people: why is it instead
for the corporation, by the greedy, for the
agenda? We are sitting on the sidelines as a
people, watching our nation die and whin-
ing about every little thing. Instead, why not
take action? Why not stand up, make our-
selves heard and make the government do
what we need it to. The government doesn’t
need to increase credit, it just needs to start
making the right decisions on the economy.

Troops to benefit from
January event
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Canadian troops serv-
ing overseas and the Ajax Legion
will benefit from an upcoming
dance.
The Over 30 Dance and Social
Club is hosting the event on Fri-
day, Jan. 23, with the proceeds to
be split between the legion and
a volunteer program that sends
music CDs to troops.
Rob MacArthur started the dance
and social club to raise money for
the legion and different charities.
Dances will be held each month
and are aimed at the 30-and-over
crowd, he said. A DJ will provide
the music from the 1950s to the
present day.
“The events fill two needs. One
is giving a place for the older crowd
to go and dance to music they like,
and two, supporting the commu-
nity as well,” Mr. MacArthur said.
The Overseas Troops CD Project
was started by Ajax resident Gil
Leclerc in 2004. Music from inde-
pendent artists is put on CDs and
then sent to troops.
“We support independent guys.
We give troops a CD if the inde-
pendent guys say so and they did,”
Mr. Leclerc said.
“Nobody’s turned us down yet,”
Mr. Leclerc said of musicians who
have been approached about put-
ting their songs on a CD.
The initiative has been picked
up by some radio stations and a TV
station in the U.S., he said.
“A lot of people are sending us
CDs to burn. It’s a fun thing to do,”
Mr. Leclerc said.
About 3,900 Christmas CDs were
distributed through the Soldiers’
Angels, a group that aids military
personnel serving overseas. Be-
tween 300 and 500 CDs are sent
to the Soldiers’ Angels in North
Carolina on a regular basis.
Julian Austin’s patriotic song,
‘The Red and White’, was included
on the New Year’s CD. “That was a
big feather for us.”
Each CD includes liner notes on
the artist, he said.
The Leclercs have a CD burner
capable of producing seven discs
at a time, he said.
A trucker by trade, he travels
around southern Ontario haul-
ing goods for companies. “I fool
around with music and meet
folks.”
CDs are “never for sale,” he said,
adding donations are taken and
forwarded to the Tim Hortons
Fund for Troops.
Tickets for the dance are $10
each and available online at www.
joefundraiser.com, or at the door.
The dance runs from 8 p.m. to 1
a.m.
The Ajax legion is at 111 Hunt St.
(near Harwood Avenue and Bayly
Street).

Ryan Knighton speaks
on Abilities Day
DURHAM — An off-beat writer
is helping Oshawa’s campus cele-
brate students with disabilities and
raising awareness about the barri-
ers they face.
Your Student Association, which
represents Durham College, Trent
University, and the University of
Ontario Institute of Technology,
presents Ryan Knighton on Jan. 19,
Abilities Day, at 1 p.m. He’ll share
his belief that some of life’s most
profound lessons can be found in
minor occasions.
Mr. Knighton, on his 18th birth-
day, was diagnosed with retinitis
pigmentosa, a genetic condition
that slowly blinded him over 15
years. In his memoirs, ‘Cockeyed’,
he shares the trials and misad-
ventures that made him who he is
today.
The presentation is free, open
to everyone, and in gyms four and
five at Durham College’s Oshawa

Salem and Taunton Road residents can
breathe a sigh of relief, their pharmacy, gro-
cery, postal and beauty needs can now be met
in one location. Shoppers Drug Mart opened
on January 10 to a resoundingly positive re-
ception.
Owner/pharmacist Priscilla Luna has been a
resident of this community for three years and
is passionate about her role in it. A licensed
pharmacist since 2004, Mrs. Luna has always
wanted a pharmacy in a residential setting.
Married with a young child of her own, she
knows the needs of today’s families, young
and old.
The North Ajax Shoppers Drug Mart is a
full-service store. Priscilla aptly refers to it as
a one-stop shop for all of your healthy, grocery,
and beauty needs. In addition the store also
features a photo lab and a post offi ce.
The Beauty Boutique features 11 beauty bars
that include some of the most recognized

skincare treatments and consultations.
Complementing a broad range of cosmet-
ics, fragrances and beauty products, Shoppers
Drug Mart is well known for its pharmacy. As
a pharmacist, Priscilla is acutely aware of her
customers’ health needs. She is pleased to an-
nounce a fantastic program called Med Ready

lows you to do other things while you wait.
Alternately, you can refill your prescriptions
at any time online via the Internet. The phar-
macy is also open until midnight every day.
How convenient!
The pharmacist is also on hand to answer
any questions you may have about your medi-
cation and any possible interactions you might
be concerned about.

seminars each month to keep customers in-
formed. January 30 will feature a Diabetes and
Healthy Eating seminar, February 13 will be

Each seminar begins at 7pm and customers

tures an extensive grocery section. Whether it’s
bread or milk, bacon or eggs, baby formula or
diapers, no matter the time, you can fi nd what

raphy needs. There are two kiosks to print your
own digital images as well as have your im-
ages process by trained staff.

post offi ce is available seven days a week for
all of your postal needs. Hours are Monday to
Friday 9am to 9pm, Saturdays 9am to 6pm and

Catholic board
pilot project
supports e-learning
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Flickr, Twitter and
SecondLife are just a few words in
the world of technology and the
language of students.
And, for educators to better learn
that language and connect with
youth, the Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board has introduced
a two-year pilot program, trustees
heard at its Jan. 12 meeting.
The project features a small de-
partment to deliver and support e-
learning to students and educators
in a co-ordinated way, said super-
intendent Mitch LePage. The pilot
project has a $200,000 budget.
“Students these days use tech-
nology in a way we couldn’t even
have anticipated,” Mr. LePage said.
They know how to use it bet-
ter than their parents and teachers
and the board needs to match the
technology to the skills and compe-
tency of students, he added.
Tricia Dwyer-Kuntz, consultant
for education technology, provided
trustees with some information
about the technologies kids use
and what’s happening through e-
learning at the school board.
“I can talk a good line about
(technology), but I talk with an ac-
cent,” Ms. Dwyer-Kuntz said. “I’m
an immigrant to this technology;
these young people are native.”
During the board meeting, she
asked how many people recognized
names such as SecondLife, Twit-
ter, MySpace, YouTube, Teacher-
Tube and SlideShare; only the stu-
dent trustees, Mr. LePage and Ms.
Dwyer-Kuntz raised their hands for
most. She filled trustees in on what
some of the programs are, such as
SecondLife — a virtual world.
“It’s all part of their vocabulary
and it’s part of their life now,” she
said, and shared the story of a four-
year-old telling her mother they
could use Google to find out if the
Easter bunny is real.
As adults, we need to be “shoul-
der surfing” what kids are doing
through technology, she said, and
referred to the term, Lord of the
eFlies.
Members of the Catholic board
are learning about these new tech-
nologies through the help of stu-
dents, as well as participating in
e-learning initiatives, such as credit
courses offered by the Province,
Ms. Dwyer-Kuntz said.
A course through Moodle was
offered to teachers and received
100 per cent positive feedback. The
technology is here and they want to
increase their usage of it, she said.
Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin
wasn’t as enthusiastic about new
technology.
“It’s frightening to me to think of
where we’ve come from with our
great big cellphones... it makes me
wonder where our kids will be in
two years, in five years, and what
they have access to,” Trustee Martin
said.

Donations being stored
at the GM Centre
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The General Motors Centre
has been piling up with pet food, cages,
litter trays, blankets and office supplies
since the facility offered to store donations
for the fire-torn Humane Society.
“We’ve had just about anything and ev-
erything brought in that you could imagine
an office would need and that someone
would need for animals,” said the centre’s
marketing manager Cortney Ager.
She added that the majority of dona-
tions have been provided by regular con-
cerned residents.
Since a mid-December fire destroyed
the shelter’s building, staff have been
working out of various locations while
searching for a permanent home.
They stopped by the GM Centre in Os-
hawa recently to do an inventory count
and take some of the supplies they need to
accommodate newly arriving animals.
“We have a really big box upstairs at the
box office and we’ve had to empty it at
least four times now so we’ve had a lot of
things come in,” Ms. Ager said.
“I know the Humane Society is just very
pleased with (the donations) and when
they were here yesterday, they couldn’t be-
lieve how much stuff has come through.”
The GM Centre will continue accepting
items at Gate 1 of its site on 99 Athol St.
E. in Oshawa until further notice about
a permanent location for the shelter, she
said.
“We understand that they’re not going
to have a shelter built overnight or a space
to use all of this stuff so we don’t really
have a time line. We have a lot of storage
space back-of-house so it’s not an issue for
us.”
Monetary donations will also be collect-
ed for the cause through several benefits
this month.
Musicians from across the region will
lend their voices to a fundraising concert
being held for the shelter on Saturday,
Jan. 17, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Wing
Shack Bar and Eatery, 1121 Dundas St. E.
in Whitby.
The event will feature eight hours of
continuous music from local artists, as
well as auctions of original artwork, music
memorabilia, vouchers from local busi-
nesses and door prizes. Tickets are avail-
able in advance for $15 or at the door for
$20.
“The facility was destroyed, many ani-
mals lost their lives during the fire and it
has been very traumatic for staff and vol-
unteers,” said Alison Cross from the On-
tario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
“They spend every day trying to give
these animals a second chance and then
to have something like this happen is just
devastating.”
The Humane Society can be contacted
by calling 905-433-2022 from Monday to
Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Sat-
urdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Christian Cardell Corbet
first inspired by waterfront,
grandparents
By Lyra Pappin
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM — Artist Christian Cardell
Corbet makes having a thriving career in
art look easy. Of course, it didn’t hurt that
the Queen of England took an interest in
his work, but don’t count his success as a
fluke. Corbet’s varied and impressive re-
sume can’t be amassed without hard work
- or talent.
Born in 1966 in a much more rural ver-
sion of Ajax’s Pickering Beach area, Corbet
developed an aptitude for art as a preco-
cious child and, at 14, was wise enough to
pursue his gift as a career.
After graduating from the University of
Guelph’s Fine Art program in 1995, Cor-
bet went on to show his paintings and
sculptures across Canada and Europe
and received much acclaim. Most recent-
ly, Corbet was commissioned to create
bronze medallion maquettes of Sir Win-
ston Churchill that were featured at the Ad-
vancement of Parliamentary Democracy’s
25th Silver Anniversary Dinner Gala. The
formal gala included the presentation of
one of these medallions to the Honorary
Celia Sandys, Churchill’s granddaughter.
The second medal will be presented to
Churchill’s daughter, Mary Soames, his
only surviving child, at a later date in Eng-
land.
Corbet’s open attitude and natural curi-
osity have led him to many art genres, help-
ing to expand his horizons and achieve-
ments. In addition to being a well-known
artist and painter, he is also a noted art
historian and a forensic artist for the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario, where he was
among the first to use CT and laser scans to
create historical and anthropological facial
reconstructions of mummies, along with
other ancient figures.
To shed some light on how this Ajacian
went from graduating university to present-
ing artwork to the Queen, sculpting bronze
medallions of Churchill and building the
faces of mummies, Corbet took some time
to explain these things and more to the
Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser.
Lyra Pappin, News Advertiser: How did
early life in Ajax shape your views of art,
or contribute to your perspective?
Christian Corbet: It was at Pickering
Beach, the former summer-side resort that
later became Ajax, which with its beau-
ty and open rural landscape I was able
to gain an appreciation for objects both
natural and human made. In the winters,
the snow-crusted beach line and its ever-
changing shapes and forms intrigued me
until spring came, which, of course, carried
its own unique formations. It was with my
Grandma-ma Corbet that she would take
me by hand along the waterfront and allow
me to discover.
LP: When did you decide to pursue art
seriously?
CC: It was not long after the age of 14 that
I decided to pursue my art seriously. It
was at that age that I was diagnosed with
chronic asthma and this disease limited
my physical abilities to pursue sports and
other games that most young children like
to participate in. Instead, I was embraced
by my paternal grandparents, who both
had sincere interest in the arts, and my
Grandpa Corbet taught me the essentials
of commercial design. It was with his tech-
nical abilities and my Grandma-ma’s opti-
mism and support that I was able to create
my first winter commercial signage and
sell it to a major fast-food chain.
LP: You are active in many disciplines in
the field of art; how do you decide which
projects to take on? Which are most stim-
ulating or appealing to you?
CC: Indeed, I am active in many disci-
plines in the field of art to include painting,
sculpture, forensic art, textile work, design,
etc. I decide the projects to take on in no
particular order. Some projects come to me
as commissions and, if they are appealing,
such as a portrait of Margaret Atwood or
my most recent commission of Sir Win-
ston Churchill, it is the lives, souls, energy,
countenance, etc. of the individual that in-
trigues me and makes me want to do their
portrait (aside from the monetary aspect of
the work). However, the most stimulating
or appealing to me would, of course, be the
sculpted portrait medallion.
LP: What has been the highlight of your
career so far?
CC: I’ve had many highlights in my career
as an amateur, emerging and professional
artist. However, to date the one highlight
that stands out the most was Queen Eliz-
abeth, the Queen Mother, acquiring my
portrait painting of her into her private
collection in 1995. It was on July 4, 1995
that I was invited to present the painting
to Clarence House, the Queen Mother’s
London residence. Following the presenta-
tion of the painting, my cousin and I were
given a private tour of Clarence House that
included viewing some exceptional works
of art that the Queen Mother had in her
private collection.
LP: Why continue to make art? What
motivates you now?
CC: I continue to make art for the public.
My art is my “offspring” that I share with
others. What motivates me the most is
the documentation of the many faces of
important Canadian and international fig-
ures, people who are known quite often by
name but not always by face. By creating
their portraits I am able to leave behind
my interpretation of their physical appear-
ance and hopefully some of the essence of
their soul.
LP: What is most challenging about the
industry? The most rewarding side?
CC: What is most challenging in the fine
art industry would be the same as in any
industry - colleagues not always working
together as a community and believing
that it’s more about competition - which
in my opinion is counter-productive. The
most rewarding part is being able to bridge
that challenge of professional jealousy and
uniting as one voice for the betterment of
the fine arts in Canada.
LP: You have enjoyed a prolific and suc-
cessful career in art after growing up in
a small town. What advice do you have
for young artists starting out in similar
situations?
CC: Indeed, I have enjoyed and continue
to enjoy a successful career in the fine arts.
The advice that I would have for any young
artist starting out and knowing that their
dream is to be a practising artist would
be to always believe in yourself and not
let anybody, regardless of stature or other
influence, tell them they cannot reach their
dreams. My grandparents were fine ex-
amples of two people who believed in
dreaming and made many of their dreams
into reality. Positive thinking, hard work
and dedication are the primary founda-
tions to being a successful person in any
aspiring endeavour. If you can dream it,
you can do it!

Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars’ Matt Cousins scores on Ajax High School Rams’ goalie Connor Viscu on a penalty shot awarded in the second
period of the LOSSA senior boys’ hockey league contest at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday afternoon. The Rams won 5-2 to finish the regular season
unbeaten.
Hockey team cuts
down Notre Dame
Cougars to complete
unbeaten regular
season schedule
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The Ajax High School
Rams are heading into the Dur-
ham Region senior boys’ hockey
post-season on a high note.
Not only did the Rams finish
atop the East Division standings,
but posted an unbeaten 11-0-1
record over the Lake Ontario Sec-
ondary School Athletics (LOSSA)
regular season,
with their lone
‘blemish’ being a
2-2 tie with Whit-
by’s Father Leo J.
Austin Wildcats.
The Rams kept their
unbeaten regular-season record
intact on Tuesday with a 5-2 vic-
tory over Ajax rival Notre Dame
Catholic Secondary School Cou-
gars at the Ajax Community Cen-
tre.
Ajax High received scoring from
five different sources in their final
LOSSA league game of the sea-
son, with goals coming from Josh
Beach, Scott Desroches, Brett
Holmberg, Jeff Martin and Ryan
Brawley.
Matt Cousins and Paul De Pass
replied for the Cougars.
As far as Rams’ head coach
Craig Nemis is concerned, the
real season begins when the
LOSSA playoffs commence and
that, more than anything else,
will convey the team’s success on
the ice this season.
“I certainly hope so,” said
Nemis, when asked if he ex-
pects playoff success will follow
the Rams’ strong regular-season
campaign. “We seem to have a
number of really good guys on
our team. The young guys have
listened and have really worked
hard. They all work together re-
ally well, which is all you can ask
for. We hope they’ll come through
in the playoffs for us.”
The Rams are on hiatus for
two weeks until playoffs begin,
including exam week this com-
ing week. After exams, the team
hopes to get in some practice as
well as exhibition games to stay
sharp for the post-season starting
the first week of February.
Ajax High will meet the fourth-
place team in the West Division,
Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary
School Titans, in the cross-over
game in the playoff quarter-finals
(eight teams, four from each divi-
sion, qualify for the post-season).
Nemis said although the rook-
ies on the team have stepped up,
the Rams have received outstand-
ing leadership and skill from a
quintet of players who also play
together for the Ajax Knights
midget ‘AA’ squad. Patrick May-
hew, Drew Boyd, Brawley, Bran-
don Sellars and Taylor Giffin have
all been stalwarts on this year’s
squad.
“They’ve all really helped lead
the team,” said Nemis, adding he
uses all five players on the power
play, which has been a potent
part of the team’s scoring arsenal
this season.
The ultimate goal, said Nemis,
is to earn a chance to represent
LOSSA at the provincial high
school hockey championships.
It’s long been a goal of the senior
boys’ hockey program at Ajax
High and he hopes it will become
reality this season.
“Oh, my goodness, it would be
phenomenal to have that kind of
success, for the program and for
the reputation of the school,” he
said. “We’ve done well the last
couple of years, but we’ve never
made it to OFSAA. We’re working
hard to see what we can do.”
Ajax High Rams senior boys head
to playoffs at the top of their game
‘We seem to have a number of really good guys on our team.
The young guys have listened and have really worked hard.
They all work together really well, which is all you can ask for.’

Annandale
rinks stoked
for Energizer
Bonspiel
By Jim Easson
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX — Annandale’s entries at
one of the most venerable bon-
spiels in the world grew by two,
making it five local rinks compet-
ing at the Toronto Curling Associ-
ation’s Energizer Men’s Bonspiel,
which started last Saturday, Jan.
10.
A total of 412 teams are entered
at the Energizer event, one of the
oldest continuous curling events,
which uses a number of GTA ven-
ues. The Mississauga Golf and
Country Club will host the finals
this Saturday.
Annandale skips Glenn Bull,
Dale Patterson, and Brian Hawke
had their teams entered early. Two
more Annandale
team have also
entered the fray,
including skip
Sandy McMillan
and his team of
Eric Anderson,
Brent Court and
Colin Judson, and skip Barry Gil-
lespie and team of Rick Riddell,
Ray McIntaggart and Mike Mc-
Gowan.
The opening weekend deter-
mines which of the first through
fourth events each team is placed.
From then on, it’s either win or
you’re banished from further com-
petition.
•••
An Annandale rink has ad-
vanced to the provincials of the
Fairfield Marriott Challenge Zone
playdown after competing in the
zone event in Uxbridge on Jan. 10.
The Chris Van Huyse rink earned
one of three zone 6 berths after
finishing as ‘A’-side finalists, thus
earning a trip to the provincials in
Brighton and Trenton from Jan. 23
to 25.
These berths became available
as Zone 6 -- the zone in which An-
nandale competes -- had 19 teams
entered and another zone only
had one entry, so two extra teams
advanced from Zone 6.
Curling with Van Huyse were
Andrew Klein, Rob Bushfield and
Tyler Anderson.
Another Annandale team
skipped by Adam Sonley was side-
lined after their second loss. With

Ajax schools clash on the basketball court
Notre Dame senior, junior
squads down Richardson
AJAX — The Notre Dame Catholic Second-
ary School Cougars swept both ends of a league
double-header in boys’ basketball against
neighbouring school rival J. Clarke Richardson
Storm at the twinned schools on Wednesday
afternoon.
The Notre Dame junior boys’ scored an im-
pressive 68-48 victory over the Storm in Lake
Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA)
‘AAAA’ league play. Then, in the senior game,
the Cougars made it 2-for-2 with a 65-59 win.
In the junior contest, Notre Dame and Rich-
ardson were slow out of the gate in the first
quarter, but the Cougars picked up their game
significantly in the second, outscoring Rich-
ardson 24-10 to carry a 22-point lead into half
time.
A scrappy Richardson squad responded with
a third-quarter run to cut the deficit to 12 points,
but the Cougars responded by pulling away in
the final stanza to record the win and remaining
perfect in LOSSA league play at 7-0.
Dane Williams scored a game-high 18 points
to pace the Cougars’ attack.
Kevin Scullie led Richardson with 17 and
Jaylen Bubb Harrison had 13.
The victory improves the Notre Dame junior’s
overall record to 17-5.
Meanwhile, in the senior game, Notre Dame
improved its overall mark to 21-1 this season
with the victory over Richardson.
Damal Donaldson had the hot hand, piling
up 27 points for Notre Dame. Justin Jarrett had
16 for the Richardson Storm.

Two Annandale junior women
curlers, Chantal Lalonde and Tracy
O’Leary, came close to repeating
the Ontario Junior Championship
they won last season on the Dani-
elle Inglis team out of Burlington.
This time out, they were sidelined
in the semifinal game in Ganan-
oque on Saturday. Rachel Homan
of the Ottawa Curling Club went
undefeated in the round robin and
won the final. Her team will repre-
sent Ontario in B.C. at the end of
the month.
•••
The Glenn Howard rink, with
Pickering Richard Hart at vice,
earned $26,500 at the Casino Rama
Skins Game on the weekend.
The team won $19,500 winning
Saturday’s semifinal, and another
$7,000 in the Sunday final loss to
the Randy Ferbey team of Edmon-
ton.
Perhaps more importantly, the
Howard rink continues its march
toward the Tim Hortons Brier, aka
the Canadian Men’s Curling Cham-
pionship.
They won the ‘A’ side of the Re-
gional TSC Stores Tankard in Elmi-
ra on Jan. 4, and now advance to
the Provincial finals in Woodstock
from Feb. 2 to 8. The one winner
out of 10 teams in Woodstock will
represent Ontario at the Tim Hor-
tons Brier in Calgary from March 7
to 15.
Also on the Howard team are
Brent Laing and Craig Savill.

The Pickering Panthers tyke select ‘Red’ hockey team captured the champion-
ship at the 33rd annual Milton Beaver Tournament recently. The Panthers won
all their games, including a 3-1 win over the host Milton Winterhawks in the final.
PICKERING — The Pickering Pan-
thers tyke select ‘Red’ hockey team
was eager for a title at the 33rd annual
Milton Beaver Tournament recently.
And, with solid team play, the Pan-
thers pulled off the title triumph at the
event that attracted seven teams from
across Southern Ontario in the seven-
year-old age group.
In the final, the Pickering tykes
faced the tournament host Milton
Winterhawks, scoring a 3-1 victory.
The Panthers were backstopped by
goalie Cole Brady, who was later
named as the game’s most valuable
player.
The Panthers played Wellington in
the semifinals, winning 4-3 in sudden-
death overtime. Game MVP Brendan
Wade scored the game-winning goal
with only seconds remaining in extra
time.
The Panthers went undefeated
in the preliminary round-robin
play beating the Oakville Wolf Pack
9-0, Orangeville Flyers 5-3, and the
Brampton Battalion 4-1.
