MIXED EMOTIONS OVER HWY. 7 EXPANSION
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- In just a couple of months,
Grace Smith and her husband won’t have
their home anymore — they’re losing it to
the Hwy. 7 widening.
Located on the north side of the road,
east from the purple and white sign reading
“Hwy. 7 widening starting 2009,” the white
house they live in is being expropriated. The
widening is being done from Brock Road in
Pickering to Hwy. 12 in Whitby.
Although they just rent the house on
Locust Hill in Brougham, they’ve lived there
for almost 13 years and don’t want to go,

Ms. Smith said. They knew the expro-
priation was coming, but thought they’d
have more time to find somewhere else,
she added.
“We just got notice yesterday from our
landlord saying we were going to have
to move in April,” Ms. Smith said in mid-
February, standing at the side door to
the house, tea towel in hand.
“We thought we’d get more notice than
that.”
She said she guesses the widening is
needed because there’s a lot of traffic in
the morning.
Right now, Hwy. 7 is the “unofficial
extension of the 407,” said Shazmin
Madhani, who works at the Greenwood
Convenience gas station just down the
road from Ms. Smith’s house.
“The only reason the traffic is what it
is, is because the 407 is here,” Mr. Mad-
hani said, and added that’s just based
on his own observations.
When it’s extended, the traffic will fol-
low, but if Hwy. 407 isn’t going to be
expanded for years to come, then they
need it right now, he said.
But the Hwy. 7 widening and Hwy. 407
expansion serve different purposes, said
Will MacKenzie, central region informa-
tion officer for the Ministry of Transpor-
tation.
“We already have a lot of growth,
but there’s going to be a lot more,” Mr.
MacKenzie said. In 10 to 20 years both
projects will be needed.
The expansion also isn’t just about
traffic — Hwy. 7 serves as a significant
economic and community link through-
out Durham, he said.
And it’s a significant tourism hub.
Closer to Whitby, Robert Jackson will
lose 20 feet of his front yard for the Hwy.
7 widening, but the project is needed,
he said.
“If you live on this road in rush hour,
you want four lanes because it’s stupid,”
Mr. Jackson said.
Traffic is packed from Brooklin to
Brougham, Mr. Jackson said.
What bothers him is the Hwy. 407 link
that will run right beside his driveway.
“They haven’t even approached us
about purchasing our property,” Mr.
Jackson said.
The house will probably be safe, but he
doesn’t want the highway right beside
him.
“I’m here because of the privacy,” he
said.
Mr. Jackson has lived in the home for
15 years. He once owned the house, but
he leases it now.
The Hwy. 407 project includes two
north and south-bound links between
Hwy. 401 and Hwy. 407 — one in Clar-
ington and the other in Whitby, Mr.
MacKenzie said.
Currently, the project is waiting on
Ministry of Environment’s approval,
which is required before negotiations
can begin. When they do, contact will
be made with the property’s registered
owner.

FAST FACTS
About expropriations
The Expropriations Act is designed to protect
landowners’ rights, said Will MacKenzie, central
region information officer for the Ministry of Trans-
portation. Under the law, the government is required
to pay fair market value for a property it needs —
expropriation being the last resort. Even though the
Ministry is sending out expropriation notices, it’s still
negotiating ambivalent agreements with landown-
ers, through which it has to pay “fair market value.”
The Ministry brings an assessor, and if the
property owner doesn’t agree with their estimate,
they can hire their own. “And we’ll pay for it,” Mr.
MacKenzie said. “We do what we can to bend over
backwards.”
The Hwy. 7 expansion will use land from both
sides of the road. “For the most part, we’re just tak-
ing a small strip of land from each side,” he said.
In some cases, where a house or building is
too close to the road, they buy the whole property.
If someone doesn’t want to give up their parcel
and feels the road widening is not necessary, they
can get a lawyer, paid for by the ministry, and go to
a hearing of necessity. At the hearing, the onus is on
the ministry to prove why it’s requesting expropria-
tion. “They just can’t say, ‘I don’t want you to take it,
so you can’t have it,’” he said.
If the issue of contention surrounds pricing,
they can go to a board of negotiations, which is rare,
and if they’re still not happy after that, they can take
it to the Ontario Municipal Board for a binding deci-
sion, he said.
In cases such as Hwy. 407, where prop-
erty owners know in advance their land will be
required, they can approach the Ministry and ask
for an advance purchase — but the Ministry can’t
approach the owner and propose it, Mr. MacKenzie
said.

Union says
members treated like
‘second class citizens’
BY JILLIAN FOLLERT
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Hundreds of workers from the
Region’s long-term care homes took their
beef to the streets Monday afternoon, stag-
ing a large demonstration outside the Hill-
sdale Terraces nursing home in Oshawa.
The employees have been without a con-
tract for almost a year and are frustrated
with the latest offer from the Region of
Durham.
Jan Tutton, president of CUPE Local 132
-- which represents the roughly 1,000 long-
term care home workers employed by the
Region -- said the sticking point is bene-
fits.
“We’re providing care on the front
lines, we’re doing heavy physical labour,
we’re exposed to things like flu out-
breaks,” she said. “And yet, the Region
doesn’t want to give us the same
health benefits as its other employees.”
For example,
Ms. Tutton said other Regional employees
have drug cards that allow their prescrip-
tion drug costs to be filed directly with the
insurance company, while her members
are left paying out of pocket for drugs, then
waiting for insurance to send a cheque.
“It’s like we’re second-class citizens.
We’re the lowest paid employees of the
Region, a lot of people can’t afford that,”
she said. “Sometimes they’re going with-
out medication.”
Garth Johns, commissioner of human
resources for the Region, said CUPE Local
132 members are the authors of their own
misfortune.
“We offered a deal before Christmas that,
for all intents and purposes was the same
as what other Regional employees were
getting,” he said. “We told them to sign
quick because the economy is going south
fast, but they wanted to try to squeeze
more out of us... and now the economy is
the way it is and it’s too late.”
Mr. Johns also clarified that it’s only part-
time workers who are currently without
drug cards.
Members of Local 132 can’t strike
because of the essential service they pro-
vide. The next step is to take the matter to
arbitration.
“The Region is going to have to pay law-
yers to arbitrate a settlement, it’s a waste of
resources,” said Fred Hahn, secretary trea-
surer for CUPE Ontario.
The Region operates four long-term care
facilities housing 847 residents -- Hillsdale
Terraces and Hillsdale Estates in Oshawa,
Fairview Lodge in Whitby and Lakeview
Manor in Beaverton.
CUPE 132 members provide everything
from housekeeping and cooking to per-
sonal support services and nursing.
“We care for these people like they’re our
family,” said Margaret Hamilton, a per-
sonal support worker for 33 years. “Why
should someone who changes a light bulb
or types a letter get treated better than
people who work with human lives?”

Region’s nursing home workers seek contract
OSHAWA -- Hundreds of Durham Region long-term care workers and their support-
ers rallied at the Hillsdale Estates in Oshawa recently. Nursing home workers are urg-
ing Durham Region Council and management to negotiate a fair contract.

Rally for EI reform
takes to Oshawa streets
BY JEFF HAYWARD
jhayward@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Collecting Employment Insur-
ance is not the only challenge faced by those
recently let go from their jobs, Oshawa pro-
testers said on Saturday.
While a group made up of unionized and
non-unionized workers gathered in front
of Oshawa MP Dr. Colin Carrie’s office on
Simcoe Street Saturday morning to rally for
Employment Insurance (EI) reform, some
said getting EI is not so much the problem as
is what to do after it runs out.
Local resident Marissa Kata initiated the
rally, motivated after her father was laid off
from his long-time manufacturing job and
had trouble getting EI.
“There were so many delays and so much
red tape, it took a month for him to get a
dime,” she said.
John Riley, who joined the rally, worked
for General Motors in Oshawa for 13 years.
He said he didn’t have any trouble qualify-
ing for EI benefits, which run out at the end of
the year. “I was really lucky with the EI (pro-
cess),” he said.
But now he’s looking at his options, such
as returning to school for re-training. At 59
years old, he said he’s not holding out hope
to return to a good-paying job.
“I was looking at a course (at a college)...
they told me there’s no point taking a two-
year course,” said Mr. Riley.
Connie Snelgrove, of the CAW Local 222
Action Centre, said those aged 40 and older
are harder to employ after they are let go
from their positions. And some who can’t
find work are taking transit outside the region
to work for $10 per hour because they can’t
afford to drive, she said.
Chris Buckley, Local 222 president, also
made an appearance at the protest and spoke
of life after benefits.
“There are no good jobs to be found; there
is no employment to be found,” said Mr.
Buckley. He said more than 500,000 jobs
have been lost country-wide in the past four-
and-a-half years.
Paul Cloutier, director of income and
employment support for the Region of Dur-
ham, said that is a concern, as well as the fact
that many people don’t qualify for EI at all.
“When people don’t qualify or their bene-
fits run out, Ontario Works is what’s available
to them,” he said.
Mr. Cloutier said the Region initially fore-
cast its Ontario Works caseload would
increase by eight per cent in 2009, and there
is now the possibility that it could be even
higher. “Things have gotten more difficult
more quickly than we anticipated, we’re hop-
ing eight per cent is still accurate,” he said.
Last year, the caseload jumped by almost
10 per cent, a stark contrast with several years
back when the annual increase averaged two
or three per cent.
Dr. Carrie wasn’t able to attend the rally,
but said he was frustrated by the partisan,
“anti-Conservative” nature of the event.
He stressed the EI system is working well,
saying the Harper government recently
extended EI benefits by five weeks, retroac-
tive to March 1, 2009. The maxiumum is now
50 weeks, as opposed to 45.

Durham asked
to look at what
other places do
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- A plan to offer loans
to homeowners in Ajax and
Whitby who have suffered base-
ment flooding has been put on
hold until April.
Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan
asked that Durham Region hold
off on the loan program until more
information can be gathered on
ways to help flood victims.
Durham proposes offering loans
of up to $3,000 to residents on
Lawrie Road in Ajax and Annes
Street in Whitby, some of whom
have seen their basements flood-
ed several times. The loans would
pay for a qualified plumber to
install a back flow regulator or a
sump pump.
Coun. Jordan wants Regional
staff to look at how other munici-
palities deal with similar situa-
tions, specifically if subsidies or
grants are offered to affected hom-
eowners.
While other municipalities may
offer financial help, “We give them
nothing. All we say is there’s a risk
in putting in back flow regulator
or a sump pump. We say nothing
else,” Coun. Jordan said during
the Regional council meeting on
Wednesday.
“The Region keeps looking;
meanwhile the residents have to
live through the spring and sum-
mer,” Coun. Jordan said. “Some of
them can’t get insurance.”
Regional staff prefer a loan pro-
gram, as it could limit the liability
Durham could face.
Some homeowners can’t get
flood or water-damage insurance,
she said.
If a homeowner can’t get flood
insurance, “What’s the liability to
us if they start looking at us?” she
asked.
The staff report didn’t include
what other municipalities do,
including the types of subsidies
and grants that are offered, she
said.
A back flow regulator or a sump
pump is a “band aid” and not
a solution, she said, adding the
flooding is “a horrendous, horren-
dous situation.”
She asked for it to be referred
back to staff, to get a report “with
some real information on how to
help these residents.”

ECONOMY
It’s not fair to blame unions
for economic problems
To the editor:
People really need to realize the impor-
tance of a union.
First, we do get paid very well, good ben-
efits, etc.
This country was built by union people
whether it is electricians, plumbers, car-
penters and, oh yes, autoworkers, etc.
I think people should lay blame where it
is deserved. The TD bank CEO made $11
million last year.
The Bank of Nova Scotia CEO made $7.5
million and so on and to think it’s our
money that enables them to receive this
unrealistic salary. But wait, let’s blame the
union, especially the CAW. Time to wake
up.
TD has recently announced that the
recession will last into 2010. Let the CEOs
keep lining their pockets at our expense.
Glen Morton
RECESSION
Don’t blame teachers’
unions either for problems
To the editor:
Re: Blame the right people for the recession,
Lloyd Clarke letter, March 11.
I was grateful Lloyd Clarke touched on
the issue of blame.
However, after making the point that the
Canadian Auto Workers membership isn’t
to blame, he attempts to shift blame on the
Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario
for refusing to sign what it saw as an unfair
contract.
In doing so, he is ignoring that wages
weren’t the primary issue, securing ade-
quate funding for elementary students
comparable to their high schools counter-
parts was.
He also is engaged in the same blame-
shifting tactics of those he was condemn-
ing in his letter.
Now is the time for increased solidarity
among unions. Stop placing blame where
it does not belong, on other unions, and
start focusing on where the real problems
lie.
Unions fighting for wages and conditions
and social justice aren’t to blame for the
current mess.
If the working class wants those in power
(corporate management and the state) to
listen, it must speak unified, in solidarity
with other labour unions, as well as with
those of the working class employed in
non-union workplaces.
Anything else will only weaken us.
Dan Roberts
AUTO INDUSTRY
How did GM fall
on such hard times?
To the editor:
The workers are not to blame for the mess
GM is in so shouldn’t be punished because
they get a good wage.
Who wouldn’t like to make this wage? It
is tough for anyone to take a cutback but
worse to lose it all, too.
I don’t understand how the CEO or who-
ever GM has in management runs the place
this poorly and why it was ever allowed to
go this far.
Someone should be accountable for this
and I haven’t heard of the top ones getting
fired.
If cars aren’t selling now, how can this
government loan ever be paid back? It is
just not realistic. Who are we trying to kid?
If a private business was not making
money, I would think you would start to
sell off some of your assets. Why not GM?
I don’t think we’ve heard the true story
as to why this could be allowed to happen
and no one could see it.
I realize we can’t predict the future but
can someone please explain how this could
happen?
Mary Elliott
Make Employment Insurance fair, simple to understand
With a jobless rate higher than it’s been
in decades it’s easy to see why so many
local people are worried about employ-
ment insurance.
Never in a generation have so many
come to rely on a system to be there for
them in their time of need. And, to judge
by recent protests outside MPs’ offices in
Oshawa and Whitby, they are finding EI
wanting.
Part of the problem stems from the
confusion to be found at the heart of the
system and the plethora of rules, regu-
lations and a tangled web surrounding
qualification for getting EI.
Go to the Service Canada website and
you’ll find a long, winding list of com-
plicated questions and answers only an
accountant could truly figure out.
There are waiting periods which vary
from two to four weeks. If your unem-
ployment rate is under six per cent you
must have worked 700 hours in the previ-
ous 52 weeks to claim EI.
If it is over 13.1 per cent you must have
worked 420 hours. There are nine, yes,
that’s nine, insurable hour rates to qual-
ify for EI, ranging from a low of under six
per cent rate of unemployment in your
region to 13.1 per cent and over.
And it goes on and on and on. In Dur-
ham Region alone, there are three differ-
ent qualifying periods. To get paid EI you
have to complete a telephone or Internet
report every two weeks or the payments
stop.
Beyond all the confusion is the sheer
unfairness of the system, which has many
Canadians upset.
There should not be nine different lev-
els of unemployment used and those liv-
ing in north, southeast and southwest
Durham Region shouldn’t be sliced into
three different regions to qualify for EI.
That kind of subdivision doesn’t speak to
fairness.
The federal government, having built
up a multi-billion-dollar surplus on the
backs of contributions from employers
and employees over the past few decades,
should use the EI surplus to help those
who need it most.
The federal government should reduce
the waiting period for EI, top up the ben-
efits provided, increase accessibility, and
make sure the program is there for all
those who qualify.
Everyone who pays into Employment
Insurance for years on end, should get
the benefit of EI when they are in the
unfortunate position of being out of
work.
The system needs to be simplified and
it needs to be fair.

Bill to require system
for hearing impaired
PICKERING -- Pickering-Scarbor-
ough East MPP Wayne Arthurs is
focusing on the “can-dos” on his
wish list for Ontario.
That’s why last week he intro-
duced a private member’s bill
that will require all new munici-
pal and provincial public build-
ings to be equipped with a visual
fire alarm system. Although the
bill requires final approval in the
future, Mr. Arthurs said it’s been
well received by other MPPs.
“The implementation costs
would be very minimal in the
context of building a new build-
ing,” he said in a phone inter-
view.
Although the Visual Fire Alarm
System Act won’t require old
buildings to be retrofitted to
incorporate the new system, Mr.
Arthurs hopes the new law will
set a standard.
“Ideally it would be a strong
signal for others to follow suit,”
he said.
President and CEO of the Cana-
dian Hearing Society, Kelly Duf-
fin, said in a press release Mr.
Arthurs’s introduction of the bill
is a critical step in moving Ontar-
io closer to safeguarding the peo-
ple who are deaf, oral deaf, deaf-
ened and hard of hearing.
“Current laws mandate the
installation of traditional audi-
tory fire alarms, which are com-
pletely inaccessible to people
who are deaf or have a hearing
loss.”

No one hurt
in two late-night
holdups
AJAX -- Clerks working the
night shift at two subma-
rine sandwich shops in Ajax
were threatened with weap-
ons during robberies overnight
Wednesday.
The suspects in both incidents
fled into the darkness and no
one was hurt in either robbery,
Durham police said.
In the first incident, a male
worker at the Subway shop on
Old Kingston Road was threat-
ened by a man wielding a glass
bottle at about 10:20 p.m.,
police said.
The suspect, whose face was
covered by a mask, fled with a
small quantity of cash.
A 37-year-old woman work-
ing at the Subway shop on Har-
wood Avenue had a gun held
to her head during a robbery at
12:45 a.m., police said.
Two suspects made off with
a cash register and some ciga-
rettes, police said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 20, 200910

board of governors
DURHAM -- With a newly approved busi-
ness fundamentals program, Durham Col-
lege is hoping to capture more Second
Career Strategy funding.
The new one-year certificate program
is intended to provide additional student
pathways and capture favourable funding
from the Province’s Second Career Strate-
gy, according to a report recently presented
to the Durham College board of governors.
Business fundamentals, the new pro-
gram, should provide a basic understand-
ing of business practices. It runs for two
semesters and is designed for students
right out of high school, career changers,
or those who want to add to their creden-
tials. It qualifies as a program for the Sec-
ond Career Strategy.
It uses curriculum from the school’s busi-
ness administration program’s first year,
eliminating any development costs.
Board approval allows Durham College
to apply for ministry funding for the pro-
gram.

Ajax High thinks pink
AJAX -- Sarah Salvatore, Paige Melvin, Mushtouba Hares and Meaghan Lacquanti
all wore a pink shirt along with other Ajax High School students recently to support
national anti-bullying day. The event is in support of a student who was bullied at a
school in Montreal for wearing a pink shirt.
WHITBY -- A 24-year-old Pickering man has
been charged with impaired and dangerous
driving after a crash on Hwy. 401 in Whitby
recently.
At about 4:30 a.m. last Thursday, motor-
ists called police when they saw a pickup
truck driving at a high rate of speed on Hwy.
401. By the time police arrived, the truck
had hit another truck and the centre guard-
rail before coming to rest in the north side
ditch near Hwy. 401 and Brock Street.
The pickup then burst into flames. The
driver, who was not injured, was able to get
out. When police arrived, they arrested a
24-year-old Pickering man. His name has
not been released.
The westbound lanes of Hwy. 401 were
closed between Thickson Road and Brock
Street for approximately 90 minutes to
allow removal of debris and treatment of
the icy condition on the roadway created by
water from fire department response.

(NC)-For most Canadians, spending time with
family and friends on the patio or in the back-
yard is a warm-weather ritual. Despite the size
of your outdoor space, it is still simple to create
a stylish and relaxing space to enjoy all season
long.
As you begin to think about creating your
outdoor room, the team at Canadian Tire has
put together the following tips to help you to
choose the best outdoor pieces to fit your space
and lifestyle.
Balconies: If you live in a condominium or
apartment, your options will depend on the size
of your balcony. If the balcony is small, consider
a bistro table and chair set or a comfy outdoor
recliner set. Available at Canadian Tire this sea-
son is the Lazy Boy madison recliner that allows
you to relax in three adjustable positions. To
keep clutter away, consider adding the Lazy Boy
madison cushion bench - not only is this piece
great storage for trays or glasses; it can also
double as additional seating for guests.
Backyards: Transforming a backyard into
a comfortable outdoor space is easier than you
think. Before making your purchase, consider
how you will most often use the pieces you pur-
chase:
• If you prefer to relax, try adding some ac-
cessory furniture such as a lounger. Accessory
furniture can be used as great add-ons to exist-
ing sets and are great pieces for lounging with a
book on a sunny day.
• If you like to have intimate visits, a conver-
sation set is a great choice for relaxing with a
friend or loved one. If space allows, consider the
enso conversation set, available at Canadian
Tire, which is perfect for cozy conversation or
stretching out and relaxing on your own.
• If family-style barbeques are more your
style, a larger dining set is a good choice. There
are many different options for dining, each with
stylish umbrellas and fabric patterns to fit each
individual taste.

The Recycling Council of Ontario
says 35 per cent of municipal solid
waste comes from packaging. Con-
sider product packaging before you buy
and choose alternatives that minimize
waste.
Future Friendly, a partnership be-
tween the Recycling Council of Ontario,
Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance,
canühome and some of Canada’s lead-
ing home care brands, like Tide, Bounty,
Cascade, Charmin, Downy and Dura-
cell, encourages consumers to consider
small changes that reduce energy con-
sumption and waste. The following tips,
the ‘3Cs of consumer waste reduction’,
are designed to reduce what you throw
out without adding hassles to your hectic
life:
1. Choose products that reduce packaging
Manufacturers are making efforts to
limit packaging so picking products
with less can go a long way to reduce
waste.
Future Friendly’s Charmin Mega Rolls
have four times more sheets per role
than a regular Charmin roll resulting in
fewer roll changes and fewer discarded
cardboard cores - the longer lasting roll
is something the family will love.
2. Conserve the products you use
Using products sparingly means buy-
ing less often - and that means less
packaging at the curb. Use only what
you need and follow manufacturer’s
instructions - more doesn’t mean more
effective.
Bounty Select-a-Size sheets are strong
and 45 per cent smaller than regular
The 3Cs
of consumer
waste reduction
Bounty sheets, allowing you to use only
what you need for large and small spills.
3. Concentrate to cut down on waste
Concentrated products are smaller
and reduce the amount of packaging
required.
As an example, Ultra Downy fabric
softener is 3X concentrated, cutting the
amount of plastic in the bottle by 35 per
cent, compared with non-concentrated
Downy, while still delivering fresh, long-
lasting scents.

ART
The evolution of George Forgie
Retrospective show
reflects artist’s life-long
journey to the present
BY MIKE RUTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Artist George Forgie’s body of
work reveals abrupt style changes that
constitute his evolution as an artist.
“I’m constantly re-inventing myself,
so many languages to explore and plug
into,” he says, noting each movement to a
new artistic period “happened overnight,
so to speak.
“I never went back,” he says when asked
if he ever re-visited past periods in his
work.
“Each period had to happen in order to
be able to do the following.”
A retrospective of Forgie’s 40-plus year
career is showing at the Cultural Expres-
sions Art Gallery in Ajax until March 28.
Forgie began as a landscape painter in
the tradition of the Group of Seven, but
before long moved to de-emphasize the
landscape in favour of the figure, creat-
ing his “little people,” imaginary, almost
fantastical, figures in surreal and dreamy
settings. He calls this his Romantic peri-
od. The silhouette then became his focus,
changing again into a kind of realism.
After a decade-long time-out from paint-
ing, when he wrote two books, he arrived
where he is now -- for the time being,
anyway -- a self-described “high realist”
in a pointilistic style using high-keyed
colour and thinly-applied paint.
Along the way Forgie has been a stone-
ware sculptor, a photographer (using old
pin-hole or box cameras), worked in oils,
watercolours and pen-and-ink.
He’s had many shows and his work is
in collections in Canada, the U.S. and
Europe.
However amidst all this change and
activity his aim has been to create a sense
of peace and silence in his work.
“It’s always been that way,” he says.
“There is a peace; you feel comfortable.
There’s nothing to jar you or impact you,
but there’s an underlying, almost haunt-
ing, realism.”
He says a collector who owns his work
once told him, “It’s rather frightening;
everything is on the surface.”
Born in the heart of downtown Toron-
to of Scottish parentage, Forgie is mar-
ried with five children and taught art and
photography in high school to support
his family. As in his artistic life, his work-
ing life contains a lot of variety, including
stints as a house painter and an assistant
manager at a grocery store.
He lives in east Scarborough but is a
long-time regular at the Pickering Mar-
kets, where he and his wife restore old
and vintage lighting.
Given his resume, it’s not surprising
to hear Forgie say he’s had “a very busy”
and a “fascinating” life.
“I’ve done everything,” he says.

Experience with the

from one year to 13
DURHAM -- The Durham West
Junior Lightning capped a great
season with a graduation cere-
mony at their final home game.
The ceremony recognized the
many players moving on to uni-
versity next year and honoured
their years of commitment to the
organization. Returning players
formed a ‘crossed sticks’ archway
for all graduating players to skate
through and each player was pre-
sented with a rose, a certificate
of graduation and included on
this year’s Graduation Banner.
The experience of the graduating
players ranged from one year to
an amazing 13 seasons with the
organization.
This year’s graduating play-
ers are: Kim Caggiula (goalie),
Kailey Chappell (defence), Jame
Hatheway (forward), Kaitlyn
Hill (forward), Andrea LeDon-
ne (defence), Christina Paterson
(defence), Jessica Ronald (for-
ward), Danielle Skirrow (for-
ward), Elisabeth Stathopulos (for-
ward), Jessica Vella (forward) and
Alannah Wakefield (defence).
Earlier, the Lightning played
through to a medal-round game
at the OWHL Provincial Champi-
onships, ending in fourth place.
The Lightning won two of their
final three games to clinch sixth
place in the PWHL league. The
Lightning faced the Burlington
Junior Barracudas (5-1 for Dur-
ham), Toronto Junior Aeros (4-1
loss, the last goal an empty-net-
ter) and a Sunday afternoon win
against the Brampton Junior
Thunder with a 4-3 outcome.
In the first round of playoffs, the
Lightning are tied 1-1 with the
Whitby Junior Wolves in a best-
of-five series.
CURLING
Emotional
hangover hurts
Hart at Brier
Ontario rink ousted
in semifinals
BY BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- It would be fair
to say a hangover incurred by
Pickering curler Richard Hart
and his teammates on the Glenn
Howard rink contributed to their
exit from the Tim Horton’s Brier.
It wasn’t the type of hangover
that lingers after a late night at the
pub, but rather, an emotional one
that stuck with the team after two
close losses to eventual national
champion Kevin Martin.
“It was a pretty good week right
up to the end. Everything went
according to plan,” Hart said from
his home on Wednesday after a
gruelling week in Calgary.
Indeed, the Ontario rink
skipped by Howard was coast-
ing with a 9-1 mark, setting up a
showdown with the undefeated
Alberta rink skipped by Martin in
the final round-robin game. Mar-
tin bested Howard 7-5, setting
up a play-in game the following
day between the top two seeds,
with the winner advancing to the
final and the loser forced to play
a semifinal game.
Hart and his team came up
short once again, this time 7-6,
and the lingering effect of that
loss contributed to their elimina-
tion in an 8-6 setback to the Jeff
Stoughton rink from Manitoba
the following day in the semifi-
nals.
“It really was an emotional
drain for us and we came out flat
the next day against Stoughton,
who are also a great team, but
one we feel we should be able to
beat,” Hart said.
“We were still injured from that
loss to Martin. We were emotion-
ally drained. It took so much out
of us and we had put so much
into it that we were left with no
real spark the next day for what
was an important game and we
just couldn’t get past it.
“It was fun to be involved in
games like those, but it really
takes its toll on you. I still feel like
I’m recovering.”
Martin went on to beat Stough-
ton in the final, punching a tick-
et to Moncton, NB, where he will
get the opportunity to defend his
world championship.
Hart will take the next three
weeks off before returning to
play in the tour championship in
Grand Prairie, AL. Beyond that,
Hart and his team have already
qualified for the Olympic Trials
in December, with the winner
representing Canada at the 2010
Games in Vancouver. Hart repre-
sented Canada at the 1998 Olym-
pic Games in Nagano, Japan.
Durham West Lightning

WHITBY-- Teammates of the Durham West Lightning celebrate after scoring their second goal in the
second period during the second game of the Provincial Women’s Hockey league playoff series
against the Whitby Wolves. Durham West won the game 5-4 to even the series at a game apiece after
dropping the opener 4-3. Game 3 is Saturday in Ajax at 7:30 p.m.
HOCKEY
OMHA PLAYOFFS
Knights facing elimination
AJAX -- The Ajax Knights Juvenile
hockey team is facing a gargantu-
an struggle (to quote Danny Gal-
livan) in their attempt to repeat
as winners of the OMHA cham-
pionship. They must win Game 5
at home against Richmond Hill to
force the series to a sixth game in
order to repeat as champions.
The series opener ended in a 3-3
tie after both teams failed to score
in overtime. In Game 2 Richmond
Hill won 3-2, but Game 3 saw Ajax
turn the table and take the win 4-
2 and tie the series at three points
each. Sunday evening, Richmond
Hill wouldn’t quit and took the
game by a score of 3-2.
This sets the table for a must
win game for Ajax on Sunday at
the Ajax Community Centre at
8:30 p.m. (ACC No. 1). A win by
the hometown boys would force
a sixth game in Richmond Hill,
while a loss or a tie would give
Richmond Hill the OMHA title.

PICKERINGADVERTISING FEATUREDurham Windows and Doors Brings Mobile Showroom To Your Door
Wayne Hutchison brings to the
replacement window and door business a
new and long overdue feature. It’s a Mobile
Showroom which just may be the only one in
Canada.
“The day is gone when you carried
some brochures and a sample window to
a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I
obtained a retired North York Mobile Library
truck and installed interior walls along with
all of my window samples.”
When you call Durham
Windows and Doors for a free
estimate, Wayne will show up
at your door with his Mobile
Showroom which you’ll enter by
way of a sliding patio door.
Inside, displayed on the
walls, are the Vinyl Window
Designs series of vinyl windows
which you’re free to operate and
you’ll discover the many special
features including how they
can be cleaned without going
outside.
“After
being in this
business for
26 years, I
can honestly
say these
are the finest
windows on
the market,”
says Wayne. “They’re triple
sealed to reduce air leakage
and come with heavy duty
hardware.”
All Vinyl Window Designs
windows come with Low E Glass
which filters out the ultraviolet
rays keeping your home cooler
in the summer and eliminate
fading of your curtains, drapes
and furniture.
All of the windows come with
a lifetime warranty on the frame,
hardware and glass.
Wayne would also like his customers to know
that he does all of the estimates personally,
eliminating the cost of a salesperson.
Durham Windows and Doors also does
all of its own installations, which ensures
that every customer gets a high quality job
done at the best possible price.
Durham Windows and Doors is located
at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more
information call (905) 579-2222 or 1-888-

Local rink wins St. Pat’s bonspiel at Annandale
BY JIM EASON
Last week, Annandale held
the 44th Annual St. Pat’s
Mixed Bonspiel.
The overall winning team
with first pick of the prize
table was a home rink of
Craig Jewer, Bonnie Kle-
padlo, Dale Neely and Lee
Anne Jewer. Second place
went to Blair Metrakos, Mar-
ilynne Gordon, Andy Gor-
don and Courtney Gordon
also of Annandale. Of the
26 teams competing, entries
came from Winchester,
North Granville and Port
Perry. The convener, Arlene
Joly, said there was positive
feedback that the event ran
smoothly, and compliment-
ed George Nicolaou for his
great meals.
An Annandale Curling
Club team won the A side of
the Regional Junior Mixed
Playdown in Fenelon Falls
on March 8. Josh Hall teamed
up with Spencer Anderson,
James McPherson, Yvonne
Lalonde and coach Donna
Hall. They advance to Mar-
mora and Area Curling Club
from March 25-28 com-
pete in the provincial finals.
There is no Canadian title
for this event.
The Ontario men’s cham-
pion team skipped by Glenn
Howard, with Pickering res-
ident Richard Hart at vice,
and Brent Laing and Craig
Savill competed in their
fourth Tim Hortons Brier in
a row. The previous three
Canadian championships
saw Team Howard win their
way to the final game, but
the team was victorious only
in 2007 and went on to be
crowned World Champions.
This trip, they ended a suc-
cessful round robin with a 9-
2 record, but ended with an
unprecedented three losses
in a row. They were upset in
the last round-robin game,
then the Page Playoff 1 vs. 2,
and then the semifinal. They
still come away with cresting
revenue and results funds.
At the Calgary Brier, all the
players had a chance to win
the Ford Hot Shots competi-
tion with the final on March
7. The Ontario lead, Craig
Savill, was the victor and
won a two-year lease on a
new Ford with a value over
$20,000.
Richard Hart said that the
team enjoyed the crowds
showing up to view the com-
petition. The total atten-
dance was the third ranked
coming in at 246,126. The
winning team of the 2009
Tim Hortons Brier, Kevin
Martin of Alberta, will rep-
resent Canada at the Ford
World Men’s Curling Cham-
pionship in Moncton, NB,
April 4-12.
