PICKERING -- Pickering residents made a big stink and were successful in getting Durham Regional Council to unanimously support a
motion to tell the Province to put an odour control facility in York instead of the Cherrywood area of Pickering. Cherrywood residents
Robert and Griselda Verbancic, left, and Helen Gardner were among many who opposed the facility.Has stink been stopped?
PICKERING CAMPAIGN SWAYS DURHAM COUNCIL
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- A sewage odour control facility
should be in York Region, say Durham council-
lors.
Durham Regional Council voted unanimous-
ly Wednesday to tell the provincial environment
minister to put the odour control facility (OCF) in
York rather than just south of the Pickering ham-
let of Cherrywood West, on Altona Road north of
Finch Avenue.
The York-Durham Sewage System is being
expanded to accommodate future growth in
York and the OCF is a needed component of the
expansion.
Residents living near the proposed site have
waged a campaign to have the facility moved
elsewhere, preferably to somewhere in York.

DURHAM -- Politicians cost Dur-
ham Region taxpayers about $1.7
million in salary and expenses in
2008.
That had one councillor, Don
Mitchell of Whitby, proposing a
wage freeze for Regional coun-
cillors “during any period of eco-
nomic recession.”
He made the request during
a meeting of Regional council’s
finance committee on Wednesday,
when the annual report on coun-
cillor salary and expenses was dis-
cussed.
However, Marilyn Pearce, the
Scugog mayor and finance com-
mittee chairwoman, said ruled
Coun. Mitchell’s request was out
of order, as the report only dealt
with what councillors were paid in
2008.
Later in the meeting, Coun.
Mitchell again put forward the
freeze.
“I appreciate the motion. I won’t
support it. We just did the budget
30 days ago. If you wanted to save
money, you could have done it
then,” Regional Chairman Roger
Anderson said.
“There’s nothing stopping a
Regional councillor from donating
money back to the Region, their
local municipality or a charity. If
you don’t want one (pay hike), you
don’t have to take it,” Mr. Anderson
said.
It took the Region years to get
councillor wages back in line
with neighbouring municipalities
because of a previous wage freeze
for councillors, Mr. Anderson said.
Coun. Mitchell and Oshawa
Councillor John Henry voted for
the freeze.
The salary of a Regional council-
lor is $44,492.96. The heads of four
Regional council committees are
paid $50,474.18.
Mr. Anderson received almost
$199,552.74 in salary, mileage and
expenses. He also received just
under $6,000 for sitting on the Dur-
ham Region Police Services Board.

Night with friends
‘took sudden turn’
BY JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- A weekly gathering of friends at an Ajax
night club took a violent turn after a confrontation on
the dance floor, jurors of a murder trial heard Mon-
day.
“I guess you could say the night took a sudden twist,”
22-year-old Trevor Hunter testified in Superior Court
in Whitby.
“I just remember some commotion -- some words
being exchanged and a fight breaking out,” Mr. Hunt-
er told prosecutor Cindy Johnston.
Jurors have already heard that after that confronta-
tion on the dance floor of the RimRock bar in the early
morning hours of Sept. 1, 2006, combatants would
clash again outside the Harwood Avenue club. Mr.
Hunter was stabbed in the neck, sustaining a wound
that severed an artery. A member of his group, 19-
year-old Orin Felix of Whitby, was stabbed twice and
died hours later in hospital.
Troy Johnson-Lee, 24, of Scarborough has pleaded
not guilty to the second-degree murder of Mr. Felix
and attempted murder in the stabbing of Mr. Hunter.
Taking the witness stand Monday, Mr. Hunter said
he was with a group of friends who gathered at the
now-defunct RimRock each Thursday night during
the summer of 2006 when he saw a couple of his bud-
dies exchanging words with some people he didn’t
know.
“It didn’t look like a friendly conversation,” he said.
Mr. Hunter, who went to the bar that night wear-
ing a gold chain, sunglasses and a Blue Jays ball cap,
learned from his friends the other group was plan-
ning to rob him, he said.
A scuffle ensued that was broken up by bouncers,
but Mr. Hunter said he spent the rest of the evening
expecting another confrontation. He recalled fight-
ing with a man who wore a collared, striped shirt, the
type of shirt the Crown contends Mr. Johnson-Lee
wore the night of the stabbings.
Mr. Hunter testified he was watching one of his
friends fight another man outside the bar after the
2:30 a.m. last call when he was struck from behind
with “a sharp object.”
Jurors heard a profusely-bleeding Mr. Hunter made
a harrowing retreat from the bar, finding his way to
a nearby residential area where he gained entry to a
house. “I knew (residents of the house) would call the
cops,” Mr. Hunter said.
“I felt that was the only thing keeping me alive -- just
to keep moving.”
Mr. Hunter spent six days in hospital, during which
he had two blood transfusions, jurors heard.
The trial, presided over by Justice Bruce Glass, con-
tinues.

AJAX -- A Durham Regional Police car outside of the bar once
known as the RimRock. The nightclub was the site of a murder in
September of 2006. That charge is now before the courts.
CRIME
Ajax stabbing victim recalls ordeal
Ajax store robbed
AJAX -- An Ajax convenience store was robbed at
knifepoint early Sunday morning and two cash regis-
ters were stolen.
At roughly 4 a.m., Durham police were called to Sam’s
Food Mart on Hunt Street in Ajax. They say three teen-
agers with their faces covered entered the store, bran-
dishing a large knife. They threatened the clerk and
took two cash registers before fleeing in different direc-
tions. Police say a fourth person stood as a lookout and
also had his face covered.
Officers searched the area with the K-9 unit, but no
arrests were made. The 35-year-old store clerk was not
physically injured.
Police have released descriptions of the four male
suspects, all described as 14 to 16 years old: suspect
one is white, weighing 165 pounds and was wearing a
black-hooded sweatshirt and black pants; suspect two
is black, about six feet tall and 160 pounds with a slen-
der build, wearing a black puffy jacket with a diagonal
pattern, blue jeans, a black baseball cap with red trim
and carrying a black backpack; suspect three had a
thin build and was wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt
with a zipper and a black baseball cap and carrying a
black backpack; suspect four is white, wearing a black-
hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Police are reviewing store video of the incident.
They packed the council chamber
as councillors debated the issue.
“The message to the minister (of
environment) is ‘Take it and move
it.’ It’s very clear, move it,” Pickering
Councillor Bill McLean said.
For York Region, the message
was, “If it costs you a few bucks
to deal with your odour, so be it.
The time for consultation is over.
The time for action is now,” Coun.
McLean said. “The pipe has to
go. What doesn’t have to go is the
odour control facility.”
An environmental assessment
(EA) found the Cherrywood site
was the technically-preferred loca-
tion, Cliff Curtis, the works com-
missioner, said.
The EA was filed in November,
but the ministry has “literally called
a time-out” so the OCF site could
be dealt with, Mr. Curtis said.
Pickering Councillor Bonnie Lit-
tley proposed having the OCF
moved to a site in York, saying
odour “isn’t something you can
escape. It should be re-evaluated
and York Region made to deal with
this.”
Some Durham councillors toured
a similar facility in Edmonton last
week and found “there’s a problem
there,” Pickering Councillor Rick
Johnson said. “We don’t want an
odour control facility that doesn’t
work.”
More than two dozen residents
had wanted to speak, but coun-
cillors approved having the OCF
in York prior to letting the people
speak. “It shouldn’t go there (the
preferred site). It should go in York,”
Rhonda Mendes said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 18, 20094

Spring is finally in the air and there
are lots of great things happening at the
Oshawa Centre. Several
new stores have just
opened and there are
many fun, free events
going on!
On Thursday,
March 12th, H & M
opened its doors at the
Oshawa Centre and over 100 people lined up
to be among the first inside.
As part of the grand opening
celebration,
the first 100
customers to
walk through the
door received a
coupon worth
20 per cent off
their purchase
that day.
This
is H & M’s first
store opening
this year, and
the Oshawa Centre location is the 24th store
in Ontario.
“We are quite thrilled to have a
store here,” says Lucy van der Wal, president
of H&M Canada. “Oshawa is a growing and
vibrant city and we’re excited to be a part of
it.”
“We
are excited that
H&M is here
at the Oshawa
Centre,” says
Maria Bevacqua,
marketing
director for
Oshawa Centre.
“They are a
multi-faceted
store with
unique fashions
at great prices, and are a great addition to
the Oshawa Centre.”
H&M carries fashions for women,
men, teens, children and babies. The Oshawa
Centre location also carries a maternity line.
Their clothes come
in a range of styles,
including trendy,
sporty, fancy and
classic looks.
“At H & M
you can dress your
personality,” says
van der Wal. “From
classic to funky, we
have the style you’re
looking for.”
March 12th
also marked the
grand opening of
the new Shoppers
Drugmart. The new store features an
extensive beauty boutique, carrying many
high-end beauty products, and a food
department with refrigerated items.
Jeweller Michael
Hills also opened their
doors in February.
During March
Break, from March 15th to
22nd, Oshawa Centre will
have a Rhythm Lounge
set up with two Xbox and
one Wii. Kids are invited to come out and
play popular games such as Guitar Hero
and Dancing with the Stars. They will be
playing movies
all week, with
Kernels supplying
popcorn, New
York Fries
providing free
samples and other
retailers giving
out coupons. The
Rhythm Crew will
be at the mall all
week directing
kids to the
Rhythm Lounge and providing information
on each day’s activities.
In April, Oshawa Centre will be
partnering with the Humane Society of
Durham Region to host an Easter Maze. From
April 6th to 11th, kids can enter the Bunny Hop
Trail and become
“bunnified”. They
will have their
faces painted,
given bunny ears
and have their
picture taken and
emailed to their
parent’s email
account. The
Humane Society
will have kittens
and bunnies
available for
adoption for the children to see and pet. The
event is free, and visitors are encouraged to
donate to the Humane Society to help in their
efforts to build a new shelter.
“We feel strongly about giving back
to the community,”
says Bevacqua.
“During these
economic times, we
want our customers
to be able to come
out and have an
enjoyable time and
a great shopping
experience here at
Oshawa Centre.”

OSHAWA -- Rick Hendrick, of Charlotte, North Carolina, steps out of his new Camaro
in front of the GM car assembly plant in Oshawa. This Camaro is the first official car
off the line, having serial number 001.
Car enthusiasts gather
to scope out new model
BY JILLIAN FOLLERT
jfollert@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Dale Oldham is already the
proud owner of seven Chevy Camaros --
but that doesn’t mean he isn’t in the mar-
ket for another.
“The last one came out in 2002, so this
new one has seven years of new technolo-
gy,” he said, speaking reverently of the new
2010 model. “I was afraid it wasn’t going to
keep up with the history and the attitude,
but I’m really impressed with it.”
The president of the Ontario Camaro
Club was among a crowd of car enthusiasts
who descended on the Oshawa General
Motors plant Monday morning, to watch
as the first 2010 Camaro rolled off the line.
A few test models have been spotted
across Durham in recent weeks, but the
first “official” model -- complete with VIN
number 001 -- was driven off the line by
its new owner, Rick Hendrick, of Hendrick
Motor Sports, an American car buff who
owns several NASCAR teams and a large
automotive chain.
The North Carolina native stepped out
of his new wheels to a burst of applause
and told the crowd he wished he could
drive the sleek black Camaro back home,
but was opting to fly, joking that he didn’t
think he could get it through customs.
Many of the Camaro enthusiasts gathered
for the event were itching to get behind the
wheel of the new model, including Livio
DiCenso, another Ontario Camaro Club
member.
“This one is light years ahead of the other
Camaro generations,” he said. “All the flaws
have been eliminated, the fuel econo-
my is improved and the performance has
increased.”
Not to mention the eye candy aspect.
Mr. DiCenso said he’ll definitely be pick-
ing one up to add to the 1992 and 1996
Camaros he already has at home, but said
he’ll have trouble choosing a colour from
the rainbow of glossy options available,
and is also torn between the coupe and
convertible.
GM officials said there have already been
about 14,000 orders for the 2010 Camaro
and they expect the car to start appearing
at dealerships in early April.
Until then, enthusiasts will have to make
do with sneaking a peak at the handful
already on the road.
“Anywhere you go in this car, you turn
heads,” said George Saraltic, who works in
product communications for GM Canada.
“You park outside a coffee shop and come
back out and there’s a crowd of people
around the car.”

Contest exclusion
gives people their choice
To the editor:
Re: Contest should go local for auto priz-
es, Martin Inkpen letter, March 11.
I would like to point out to a recent cor-
respondent that Rolls Royce cars are still
built in Great Britain at their new plant in
Goodwood, Sussex.
Regarding the use of domestic cars in
competitions, the competition hosts are
merely giving the public what they per-
ceive, rightly or wrongly, as the most
appealing cars currently on the market.
Sadly that does not include many of the
cars made by the not quite so Big 3.
I suggest that had GM, Ford and Chrys-
ler been making the sort of cars that moti-
vate people to enter contests they would
not be in the shape they are today.

New pesticide ban will
help health, economy
To the editor:
Re: Pesticide ban is a pest: Weed Man rep,
March 10.
It’s good to hear some lawn-care opera-
tors are already using non-toxic products
to control lawn pests.
That means the transition to Ontar-
io’s new pesticide law -- the most health
protective in North America -- will be
smooth.
We also believe the new legislation
will be good for business. In the five
years following a pesticide ban in Hali-
fax, the number of lawn-care firms in the
city grew 53 per cent -- from 118 to 180,
according to Statistics Canada.
The number of employees in the sector
grew as well.
Statistics Canada also found that the
number of lawn-care companies in
Toronto has grown every year since that
city brought in a pesticide bylaw.
The new provincial pesticide regula-
tions will not only protect human health
and the environment, they’ll also be a
boon to our economy.

Camaro has its place
in the market
To the editor:
Re: GM management tone deaf, James
McGowan letter, March 13.
First, thank you for recognizing the
workers as hard-working and quality-
driven.
The assembly-line workers and their
union have been taking a horrific beat-
ing in the media. The negativity and mis-
directed blame makes it difficult to go to
work each day and put quality into every
car -- but we do.
I take exception to your comments on
the Camaro.
This is the most exciting car we have
ever had the privilege to build in Oshawa.
Although it is a niche car, it has its place
on the road today.
Ford was resurrected with the re-design
of the Mustang and the new Dodge Chal-
lenger is a tribute to the Dodge muscle
cars of the ‘70s. There is a market for
these vehicles and they are more efficient
than their ancestors.
The Camaro is a well-designed and
great performance car. This car is fun to
drive and driving is supposed to be fun.
That is one reason our economy was
built up by this industry decades ago.
People drove for fun, they didn’t com-
mute hours a day in stop-and-go traffic,
they cruised.
Steve Conway
Region should make special exception for Dundurn
Tough times can make the unimaginable
all too real.
If someone six or eight months ago told you
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was going to
inject billions into the economy, you’d have
bet against it. But with the severe economic
downturn hitting us all that’s just what Otta-
wa is doing. Many would agree it’s a neces-
sary measure.
Closer to home, it seemingly made sense
for a Regional council committee earlier
this month to turn down a builder’s request
to defer paying development charges. Dun-
durn wants to build a $27-million, 566-unit
student housing apartment building near the
University of Ontario Institute of Technolo-
gy in Oshawa. But with credit hard to come
by, the company’s representative asked the
finance committee if it could pay the rough-
ly $1.5 million in development charges over
five years with interest.
Municipalities have done it before, Carlo Di
Gioacchino told councillors, and if it doesn’t
happen in Oshawa, he says the company will
delay the project. As expected, the commit-
tee turned down the request, citing a desire
not to set a precedent.
“How do we do one without doing them
all?” said Marilyn Pearce, finance commit-
tee chairwoman and Scugog mayor, of future
requests to defer DCs.
The answer is simple: the committee and
council have the power to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
What they say goes.
Besides, this isn’t any other building proj-
ect in Durham.
It’s no secret in Durham and beyond that
student housing is a thorny issue in Oshawa,
one that has pitted students against hom-
eowners for several years. The issue is stu-
dents, many with a zest for partying, have
been renting in established residential
neighbourhoods and have not been wel-
come there. The City passed a bylaw roughly
a year ago that has done virtually nothing to
solve the problem as many landlords haven’t
bothered to comply with new requirements.
A City task force has twice delayed a report
on how to deal with the issue, prompting
the student association president to say last
week, “We’ve failed the students.”
The answer is a large, student-only apart-
ment near campus where homeowners
won’t be disturbed by students and the latter
can, well, live it up from time to time without
bothering neighbours.
Granting Dundurn’s request would solve
a huge problem in Oshawa, one that has
so far stumped the City. And let’s face it, in
these economic times, especially in hard-
hit Oshawa, the City needs to encourage any
growth associated with the university and
college as these institutions in many ways
represent the future of the City and Region.
Their success has beneficial spin-off effects
across Durham.
An exception in such cases is certainly war-
ranted.

P
Reporter’s first fight
ends in split-decision loss
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- And the winner by a split deci-
sion — well, it wasn’t me.
But it will be next time.
In my debut boxing match at Johnny B’s on
Sunday, I lost the match in the final round. I
just ran out of gas and my opponent, Sandra
Viselli, had some in reserve.
But, wow, what a learning experience.
Boxing’s a one-on-one sport, but it’s impos-
sible without the support of a team — from
sparring partners, to trainers, and coaches.
There was never any doubt we were all part
of the Durham Boxing Academy club — from
the moment we started to arrive at 11:30 a.m.,
most of us in our club sweaters, we were in
this together. Fights didn’t start until 2 p.m.
but there was lots to do: official weigh-ins,
medical checks, getting into our trunks, tank
tops, and protective equipment, and warm-
ing up for the fight. As I headed for my weigh-
in, I met my opponent. She looks different
than I thought she would - shorter. I intro-
duced myself, happy she came. There’s not a
lot of girls in boxing, and I knew she travelled
to participate in this match, her second. She
won her weight class at the Brampton Cup.
In my boxing trunks, my weight was 123.4
pounds. I don’t remember what hers was, but
it was around five pounds heavier. About 15
minutes before the fight, my trainer/coach
Richard Lewis warmed me up, taking me
through combos, and blocks, and getting me
loose and ready. He told me to relax.
When the time came, it was so surre-
al, climbing into the ring, listening to the
announcer give our names, gyms, and
weights.
Then the bell rang. I came out guns blazing.
Thinking back, I don’t even really remember
what I threw, it’s kind of a blur. I know I hurt
her with my right — my corner coaches told
me I did. There were times I had her against
the rope and it looked like she turned her
back to me so I backed off (back turning isn’t
allowed, but also isn’t always caught — that
being said, I could be remembering wrong).
Next time, I won’t back off.
The second round was more of a chess
match, but I still took it, according to those
I’ve spoken to. But, in between that second
and third round, I just couldn’t recover. I can
blame it on the cold I caught, just a few weeks
before, I can blame it on a number of things,
but she found the gas to go that last round
and I couldn’t. I lost focus — I twirled around
and received a warning from the referee, then
took a hook that didn’t hurt, but I guess the
ref thought it did and he called an automat-
ic eight-count. A couple of her right hooks
caught me, they didn’t hurt, but I knew she’d
get points for them. I haven’t see the video, so
I’m not sure if anything else got in at me.
I could hear my supporters shouting
encouragement, but above all, I could hear
Richard shouting to me: 2:1:2 (right straight,
left jab, right straight). I shouldn’t have
thought; I should have just fired. I thought
she was too far away. Next time, I won’t think.
When I didn’t and just instinctively followed
his direction, he didn’t let me down. I would
have won had I listened. And even though I
lost, no one made me feel like a loser.
“I am so proud of you!” shouted Richard,
his arms in the air to hug me as he entered
the fighters’ lounge area after the bout. My
teammates were just as supportive. Even
the ring announcer congratulated me. It’s
all very nice of everyone to say, but all that’s
going through my head is I had her, I was so
close. All I needed was that 2:1:2.
So Sandra Viselli, it was a good fight, but
next time, the victory is mine.

DURHAM -- Two teens have been charged in
connection with a series of robberies after police
uncovered a stash of stolen goods, including bay-
onets and Samurai swords, at their home.
The 17-year-old suspects were caught during a
robbery at a Macs convenience store on Raven-
scroft Road in Ajax on Feb. 22.
Police said the suspects of that robbery matched
the description of suspects behind two other rob-
beries that occurred earlier that night -- one at a
Hasty Market on Finch Avenue in Pickering and
one at an Esso gas station on Kingston Road East
in Ajax.
In all three cases, imitation weapons were used
to threaten employees and cash and merchandise
were taken.
On March 4, detectives from the DRPS robbery
unit executed a search warrant at the home the
two teens shared in Ajax and discovered 11 bay-
onets, nine Samurai swords and a deactivated
Thompson submachine gun.
The items were stolen during a robbery at the
Hero Army Surplus store in Oshawa on Jan. 23,
police say. The two Ajax men have been charged
with four counts each of robbery with a firearm,
disguise with intent, weapons dangerous and
possession of stolen property and are currently in
custody. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 18, 200910

Ajax thefts lead police to Samurai swords
Company wanted
financial aid
for housing project
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- A developer planning to con-
struct a 566-bedroom student residence has
been turned down for financial relief by Dur-
ham Region.
By a 16-9 vote, Regional councillors reject-
ed a request from Dundurn Edge Develop-
ments to defer payment of development
charges on the $27-million project for five
years. Following the vote, Carlo Di Gioac-
chino of Dundurn said his plan is to “go back
to the City of Oshawa and see what we can
do to get the project launched. We want to
do something in Oshawa. Right now, we’re
looking for a way to get the project done in
Oshawa. That’s my focus.
“Unfortunately, the biggest benefactor
doesn’t want to find a way to put in the proj-
ect,” Mr. Di Gioacchino said.
The six-storey building would be in
Oshawa on Simcoe Street, near Durham Col-
lege and the University of Ontario Institute of
Technology. The City of Oshawa has already
agreed to forgo property taxes of about $2.7
million for about five years. That money
would be used to clean contaminated soil on
the site, he said.
Dundurn would pay the development
charges in five years, with interest, Mr. Di
Gioacchino told councillors. It would total
about $1.5 million.
“The credit market has tightened up con-
siderably since we launched the program,”
Mr. Di Gioacchino said, in explaining why
Dundurn wants the DCs deferred. “We’ve
offered to repay the development charges
within five years, with interest.”
“We, as the Region, are not financiers,”
Clarington Mayor Jim Abernethy said.
“That’s the responsibility of the bank. The
developer is asking us to finance this project.
It’s not what our business is.”
“Things have changed. These are extraor-
dinary times. In times of difficulty, we have
to invest in things that do good. A university
does good,” Oshawa Councillor John Henry
said.
“What is the fallout if we do it for one. If we
do it for one, we’ll get request after request
after request,” said finance committee chair-
woman and Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce.
“It’s against everything we’ve done here,”
she said. “It’s not the first time we’ve gone
through a recession.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 18, 200911

Listen to the music
AJAX -- Ashley Flis and her grandmother, Bonny Troop, listen to a performance while attending
a fundraising concert organized by the Ontario Music Teachers’ Association. The fundraiser, held
recently at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ajax, was in aid of the Durham Humane Society. The
afternoon included a number of performances by area music students.
St. James’ port-a-pac to be
knocked down this summer
AJAX -- A St. James Catholic School port-a-pac is coming down fol-
lowing a report on mould found inside.
St. James’ principal brought forth the concern about mould to
the Durham Catholic District School Board in late January, at
which time the approximately 23-year-old port-a-pac was closed
off.
The port-a-pac’s six classrooms were relocated to inside the
school.
The port-a-pac has 7,000 square feet and was constructed on-
site in 1986.
The mould was inspected by consultant Pinchin Environmental,
which provided options for dealing with it, said a report presented
to the board.
Mould was found in several locations around the perimeter of
the port-a-pac and in its linking corridor. Air sampling found the
mould growth to have a slight impact on airborne spore concen-
trations inside.
In carefully examining current enrolment and future projec-
tions, staff recommended the unit’s demolition this summer, said
Tim Robins, assistant superintendent, facilities services.
Demolition is the cheapest solution at $108,700. The estimated
cost includes engineering, environmental, and demolition struc-
ture fees; demolition permits, and restoring the link from the main
school building.
Other options discussed by the school board included reha-
bilitating the port-a-pac for an estimated $113,000 to $223,000;
replacing it for $600,000; and replacing it with a permanent struc-
ture for $1.4 million.
Based on enrolment projections, all the students can fit inside
the school, and a long-term port-a-pac isn’t required, said the
report.

Region wants to help residents get on track.
The Durham Region Health Department and Dieti-
cians of Canada are promoting the importance of
healthy eating, physical activity and the benefits of both
through this year’s theme, Eating Well for an Active
Lifestyle.
Research shows that low physical activity levels of
adults and children are a large contributor to obesity.
Also, a recent Health Department survey reveals that
close to half of Durham residents are not physically
active enough to benefit their health.
Good nutrition and an active lifestyle greatly affect
having a healthy weight, which can reduce the risk of
obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain types
of cancer and osteoporosis. Canada’s Physical Activ-
ity Guide states the health benefits of being physically
active include better posture, balance, overall health
and increased self-esteem. To promote the message
of a healthy lifestyle, the health department will have a
number of displays throughout the region.

Hiring climate
looking grim
for next quarter
DURHAM -- A recent
survey shows Durham Region
employers expect a flat hiring
climate for the second quarter of
2009.
The data comes from an
employment outlook survey from
Manpower Inc., an employment
services industry. Of the 10 sur-
veyed industry sectors, employ-
ers in the services sector report
the most hopeful results for the
April to June period of 2009, with
a projected net employment out-
look of 11 per cent once seasonal
variations are removed from the
data.
Employers in the public
administration and construction
sectors expect a moderate quar-
ter, both with net employment
outlooks of 10 per cent.
Other survey findings:
13 %
of employers plan to hire for the
upcoming quarter (April to June)
expect cutbacks
expect to maintain their current
staffing levels
are unsure of their staffing inten-
tions for the upcoming quarter.
Note:
“Durham Region’s second quar-
ter net employment outlook of
zero per cent is a 13 percentage
point decrease from the same
time last year,” said Kim Murray,
Manpower, Pickering. “It is also
a two percentage point decrease
from the previous quarter, indicat-
ing a limited hiring climate for the
second quarter of 2009.”

Smart business owners
get diversifying
BY MELISSA MANCINI
mmancini@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- News that the auto sector is in
trouble is everywhere.
Multinational companies asking for gov-
ernment loans. Vehicle sales figures drop-
ping every month. Possible bankruptcy.
Buyouts, shifts cuts and layoffs.
While Jason Bowen has yet to feel the
effects of the troubled industry -- in fact,
most of the time his auto shop is booming
-- he is preparing for the worst by applying
his skills to less fragile sectors.
Mr. Bowen owns Trim Tech Interiors and
Glass, an auto shop in north Oshawa. He
calls his new business strategy “diversifying
for survival.” He doesn’t want to wait for the
worst to hit his business to look elsewhere
for jobs. So when customers stop spending
as much money customizing their cars, Mr.
Bowen will be ready.
“You can’t be in a General Motors town
and have all your eggs in one basket,” he
said.
So he’s created two spin-off businesses
to make sure contracts keep rolling in. In
addition to recovering and restoring car
interiors, Mr. Bowen does restoration work
on medical equipment and restaurant fur-
niture.
He has refinished booths in local restau-
rants and medical chairs in doctor’s offices.
“In clinical doctor’s offices, chemical
cleaners can rip the material on the exami-
nation tables,” he said.
This is not only unsightly but can be a
health hazard if germs get into the foam
inside the chairs and table, Mr. Bowen said.
At Welcome to Wellness chiropractic clinic
in Whitby, Mr. Bowen has recovered adjust-
ment tables that had seen better days.
“This is an upscale place and we want
the right image,” chiropractor Philip Smith
said.
And while he was refurbishing chiro-
practic adjustment tables at the clinic, Mr.
Bowen had another idea.
He’s teamed up with Dr.
Smith to offer clients a
new service that improves
the comfort level for driv-
ers who are in their cars
for long periods.
Many people spend
hours each day in their
cars, whether commut-
ing to work, chauffeuring
children around or just running errands.
That time spent sitting can really ruin good
posture, Dr. Smith said.
So it was a natural fit to offer a service to
correct posture while driving.
“We started talking about how to work
together as two different businesses that
could benefit both of us,” Mr. Bowen said.
“We re-pad the seats to fit the customer, so
it’s not a generic seat for the masses.”
Dr. Smith will do an ergonomic assessment
of the customer’s needs while they sit in
their car and Mr. Bowen fixes the seats.
A bad seat can cause tense muscles or
push a driver too close to the wheel, which
is dangerous, Mr. Bowen said.
And a newly-padded seat can offer better
posture in the long term, he said.
“It’s almost therapy while you are sitting,
which is pretty cool.”
Mr. Bowen said he is believer in the ben-
efits of chiropractic care because he’s seen
the change treatments have made in his
life.
“I haven’t felt this good in years,” he said.
When the going gets tough

Durham company says
final farewell to founder
Leslie W. Drover was an
Oshawa businessman
BY MELISSA MANCINI
mmancini@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Employees at En-Pro Inter-
national Inc. had to say goodbye to their
founder last month.
Leslie W. Drover started the company
in the 1980s and was
dedicated to his busi-
ness as the chairman
right up until his death
in February, En-Pro’s
senior vice president
John Kiemele said.
Originally from the
Maritimes, Mr. Drover
was a “salt of the earth
kind of guy,” he said.
“He was so positive,
he never worried about
anything,” Mr. Kiemele said. “He had a great
sense of humour.”
Mr. Drover’s career started in Montreal
where he learned all he could about selling
and customer service. He was so successful
he was transferred to New York City.
It was while he was in New York that he
gained his vast knowledge of the energy
and commodities industry.
The company Mr. Drover started over two
decades ago provides pricing solutions for
industries including the transportation,
industrial, medical, institutional and com-
mercial sectors in Canada, the U.S. and
Mexico. Its head office is in Oshawa.
“He was the ultimate sales professional
and he was successful because he truly
believed in his product,” he said.
Mr. Kiemele worked for Mr. Drover for 20
years. When he started at the company he
didn’t have much experience. He said he
will remember Mr. Drover as someone who
worked hard to nurture new talent.
“He was absolutely the type of guy that
believed in finding someone who may not
have much experience but was hard work-
ing and diligent,” Mr. Kiemele said.
His dedication to finding the right
employees is evident in the family atmo-
sphere at En-Pro and the low turnover rate
in the office, he said.
When “the old fashioned business man”
wasn’t working to build his business he
loved to spend his summers in Newcastle,
on his boat, Mr. Kiemele said.
En-Pro was incorporated in 1985. It is a
privately held corporation with approxi-
mately 10,000 North American client loca-
tions.

Top three apprenticeship myths
Over the past several years, the message
from stakeholders in the skilled trades has
been consistent: We are facing a shortage
of skilled workers in a variety of sectors.
If this is the situation, and there are sta-
tistics aplenty to indi-
cate it is, then why
are many young peo-
ple scratching their
heads when it comes
to securing a first-
year apprenticeship?
I’ve compiled my top
three apprenticeship
myths, along with
some tips to help
those seeking an entry-level position.
Myth 1
There are two skilled trades: Electrician
and plumber
Tip: Megan Orozco is a job developer at
the John Howard Society’s Whitby office.
She recommends that youth seeking an
entry-level apprenticeship research the
variety of skilled labour careers out there.
Individuals should also be aware of wheth-
er they have the skills needed to be suc-
cessful in their trade of choice. If becoming
an electrician is your goal, that’s great. But
if, like me, no amount of studying will ever
prepare you to divide 120 amps by 15 volts
-- then maybe it’s time to look at one of the
other 153 apprenticeship choices.
Eighty of those choices are profiled in
an updated guide produced by tradeabil-
ity.ca. Available by contacting the Durham
Region Local Training Board, Your Guide
to the Skilled Trades in Durham Region:
The Apprenticeship Process is a helpful tool
in discovering the diversity of careers avail-
able..
Myth 2
I can easily pursue an apprenticeship in a
field where I have no related experience
Tip: Experience related to your job inter-
est is essential. This doesn’t necessarily
have to be paid experience either. Demol-
ishing and re-building grandpa’s garage
counts. There are a lot of skills that can be
drawn out from those tasks and pitched to
an employer.
Now, want to be a general carpenter but
never picked up a hammer? That’s going to
be harder.
Myth 3
Finding an employer shouldn’t be as diffi-
cult as it is.
The skilled trades are no different from
any other in field in that finding an entry-
level job is not easy.
Tip: Tap every resource you can. Meet
with an employment counsellor/job devel-
oper, take an aptitude test with a union,
deliver resumes in person, post your
resume on tradeability.ca, take a college
course, continue to garner experience in
jobs related to your ultimate goal.

Whitby’s Andrew Martin
a former WWE champion
BY BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Bob Martin is remembering his son
as someone who absolutely loved the lifestyle
associated with being a professional wrestler,
but knew it was taking a toll on his body.
Martin spoke briefly by phone on Monday
after learning his son, Andrew, had been found
dead on Friday at his Florida apartment.
The Whitby native and graduate of Henry
Street High School was known worldwide by
his ring persona ‘Test’, a short form for Testos-
terone because of his aggressive style in the
ring. He was just 33 years old.
“He always said, ‘Dad, I will never live as long
as you’,” said the elder Martin, who was trying
to fight back the emotions of the past few days
along with his wife, Margaret.
A statement from the Tampa Police Depart-
ment says a neighbour called Friday evening
to report she could see into Martin’s apartment
through a window, and that Martin appeared
motionless for several hours. Police respond-
ed at about 8 p.m. to Martin’s apartment to dis-
cover he was dead. At this time, there is no indi-
cation of foul play. An autopsy is expected to
reveal the cause of death.
Martin had just returned from a tour of Japan,
and was planning to leave on another earlier
this week to Europe. He would have turned 34
on Tuesday.
Martin was a former champion with World
Wrestling Entertainment after debuting with
the organization in 1998. Along the way he wore
the belts of Intercontinental, Hardcore, Europe-
an and tag team champion.
“He just loved the lifestyle, but he knew it was
taking its toll on him,” said his dad of the hec-
tic schedule performers keep and the physical
punishment their bodies are put through on a
nightly basis.
A chance meeting with Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart
at a party following a wrestling show in Toronto
helped launch Martin’s career in pro wrestling.
Although he travelled the world, he always
remembered where he roots were.
“Whenever I’m asked where my favourite
place in the world is I always say Oshawa,”
said Martin during a 2003 interview with This
Week. “I love to come back home because it’s
the greatest place in the world. It’s where all my
friends and family are.”
He was promoting a show at the Oshawa Civic
Auditorium at the time that he would head-
line in a match against Scott ‘Big Poppa Pump’
Steiner, noting he had attended a number of
shows at the arena with his dad while grow-
ing up, but he had never wrestled in his home-
town.
A memorial service will be held at All Saints
Anglican Church in Whitby at a later date.newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 18, 200917

HOCKEY
Junior clubs
team up for camp
DURHAM -- With hockey season
wrapping up, preparations for the 2009-
10 season are already underway for
some.
Metro East Junior Hockey Limited,
run by Whitby Fury GM Frank Robinson,
is holding a quartet of camp sessions
April 6-9 at the Campus Ice Centre in
Oshawa, and spots remain available.
Each session consists of one
hour of skill development and condi-
tioning drills, followed by 30 minutes
of scrimmage time. Two sessions will
be run each night with two teams, one
from 8-9:30 p.m., the other from 9:30-
11 p.m. The first day will be under the
direction of Pickering Panthers head
coach Bill Brady and his staff, while
Curtis Hodgins, coach and GM of the
Bowmanville Eagles, will put the kids
through the motions for the second day
of camp.
Ajax Attack head coach Carey
Durant is slated to run the third day,
while Fury coach John Winder will be
charged with operating the fourth and
final day.
The camp is designed for players
entering their bantam, minor midget and
junior A tryouts which will occur later in
the month. For more information contact
Frank Robinson at frobinson@rogers.
com or 905-426-5824.
TRACK AND FIELD
Tingling first
at provincials
DURHAM -- Dwayne Tingling hit the
finish line first at the AO Ontario Indoor
Junior Provincial Track and Field Cham-
pionships, winning the U16/Midget
400m race.
He was clocked in a personal
indoor best time of 53.13 seconds at
the meet, held earlier this month at the
Toronto Track and Field Centre.
Tingling has established himself as
the athlete to beat heading into the out-
door high school track season, with a
lot more to come from this very talented
young athlete.
BOXING
Karatella wins
in walkover
AJAX -- Ahmed Karatella has added
a national championship title to his
impressive resumé in the ring.
The 17-year-old boxer from Ajax
won the 48kg Youth class at the nation-
al championships in Edmonton recently
by walkover. Karatella fights out of the
Tillers Boxing Gym in Scarborough.
Wrestler ‘Test’ found dead

WHITBY -- Andrew ‘Test’ Martin (bottom) was found dead in his Florida home on Friday
night. The 33-year-old former Whitby resident headlined a 2003 show at the Oshawa Civic
Auditorium when he wrestled Scott ‘Big Poppa Pump’ Steiner.
Pickering’s Warbutton named to Canada’s U-17 team
DURHAM -- Five players from
Durham Region are among the
26 recently named to Canada’s
national under-17 rugby team.
Ade Ojo, Cam Stones, Aaron Mil-
ton and Ben Thompson, students
at Sinclair Secondary School in
Whitby, as well as Geoff Warbur-
ton from Pickering’s Pine Ridge
Secondary School made the grade
following a week-long camp on
Vancouver Island.
The players will now have the
opportunity to travel to England
the first week of April to compete
in the annual Millfield Interna-
tional tournament, where they
will play in a pool against Wales,
the United States and Portugal.
They are also strong candidates
for Ontario’s under-18 team that
will compete at the Canada Games
next summer.
For Mike Clayton, a rugby coach
at Sinclair who also worked with
these players in the Provincial
under-16 program last summer, it’s
a nice reward for all the hard work
these players put into the sport.
“I think I can speak for all of the
coaches in all of the sports. We
provide the opportunity and it’s
up to the kids to take advantage of
those opportunities,” Clayton says.
“We’ve just been fortunate with
these kids.”

Monarchs win it all
PICKERING -- The St. Mary Monarchs junior boys’ hockey team finished the season as
champions of LOSSA, winning the final series over Paul Dwyer. It was a great season
of hockey at the school, as the senior boys’ team is off to North Bay for the Quad-A
OFSSA championships (March 25-28), while the girls’ team just missed out on a trip to
OFSAA after losing the deciding game of their semifinal series against Paul Dwyer in
a shootout.
Begg not giving up on pro ball yet
Uxbridge pitcher
still looking
for contract
BY BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
UXBRIDGE -- Chris Begg
has seen it happen before
during his professional
playing career, and now
he’s hoping it doesn’t hap-
pen to him.
The Uxbridge pitcher is
at home now after Cana-
da’s surprising early exit
from the World Baseball
Classic following a pair of
losses in pool play to the
United States and Italy.
What was supposed to be
a long run in the tourna-
ment, turned into nothing
more than an extended
weekend.
While most of the ros-
ter packed up and vacated
the clubhouse to return to
spring training with their
respective organizations,
Begg returned home to
ponder his future. He is a
player without a team at
the moment.
“You always feel unfor-
tunate for the guys who
get pushed out the door
and aren’t ready to quit
and have to go a differ-
ent way,” he said. “I’m not
looking forward to that
happening.”
The World Baseball
Classic was to serve as an
audition for Begg, without
a pro contract after get-
ting released from the San
Francisco Giants organiza-
tion last July by the Triple-
A affiliate Fresno Grizzlies.
The 29-year-old did make
one appearance, tossing
an inning and a third in
the 6-5 loss to the United
States. He was touched up
for two hits, one of them a
home run, while striking
out one and walking one.
The atmosphere was
electric at Rogers Cen-
tre in Toronto, reminding
Begg of the days when he
sat in the stands as a fan,
watching the Blue Jays win
back-to-back World Series
titles in 1992 and ‘93.
“I always say that I could
have a little nap in between
innings on the bench. For
me, it was trying to get that
felling where I was really
calm and relaxed,” he said
of trying to keep his emo-
tions under control, but
admitting it was tough to
do. “It was an awesome
game to be a part of. I
didn’t feel fantastic that
game with my stuff, but I
didn’t feel awful.”
The stunner was the 6-2
loss to Italy in the second
outing in a game Canada
was a heavy favourite.
“After the game we were
shocked to say the least,”
he said. “We really didn’t
expect to be out that
early. Guys were just sit-
ting there dumbfound-
ed. Everyone in the club-
house was pretty quiet.
“It wasn’t a great feeling
and unfortunately it’s a
feeling I’ve had too many
times with the team.”
As for his future, Begg
has contacted Triple and
Double-A teams, as well
as teams in Japan, Korea,
Taiwan and Mexico, look-
ing to land a spot on the
mound. So far all the
doors have been closed,
as rosters are set. He is
hoping that at some point
soon, an organization
needing an experienced
pitcher will give him a
call.
“Right now, it’s tough,”
he admits. “I want to still
play and I’m still looking
for a job.”

ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE
Gens miss playoffs by one point
OSHAWA -- It wasn’t the
end the Oshawa Generals
envisioned.
Though club brass had no
illusions the club would con-
tend for a Memorial Cup,
they didn’t foresee missing
the Ontario Hockey League
playoffs. The Generals came
up a point short of both
Peterborugh and Sudbury,
who finished in seventh and
eight place respectively in
the Eastern Conference.
“We knew we were going
to have some growing pains,
but did I expect us not to
make the playoffs? No,”
owner Rocco Tullio said on
Monday, a day after the Gen-
erals were ousted from con-
tention via a 5-4 shootout
loss to Brampton, which left
them 25-35-2-6 overall.
