JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND COURTS Suspect was to meet murder victim, jury told Trucker was found dead in Pickering BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Jurors viewed reams of phone records Tuesday as the Crown continued to build its case against the man accused of murdering a trucker whose body was found almost three years ago in Pickering. The records are part of what is a largely cir- cumstantial case against Paul Cyr, whom the Crown contends killed Donald Woods with a shotgun blast to the back of the head before stealing the Brockville-area trucker’s cargo of air-chilled chicken. Mr. Woods was found dead in the sleeper compartment of his rig behind the Wal-Mart store on Brock Road June 23, 2006. Mr. Cyr, 51, of Montreal, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and theft over $5,000. A significant aspect of the prosecution’s case is showing the jury evidence that Mr. Cyr was in Belleville on June 21, 2006, at the truck stop where Mr. Woods was last known to have been before he went missing. The Crown has produced video images show- ing Mr. Cyr at the truck stop and jurors have heard evidence Mr. Woods, 35, was consid- ering joining JC Drivers, the Montreal-based firm operated by Paul Cyr’s brother, Jacques. Jacques Cyr testified as a Crown witness and told jurors Paul Cyr was to have met Mr. Woods to obtain documents related to employment around the time the trucker was killed. “I remember Paul telling me he was supposed to meet Donald Woods to obtain a driver’s abstract and a driver’s profile,” Jacques Cyr testified. Jacques Cyr also told jurors that after Paul missed a delivery on the day Mr. Woods went missing, he phoned to say he was having troubles with his rig’s refrigeration unit and was trying to get it fixed. But when Durham homicide detectives starting asking ques- tions in the weeks after the murder, the story changed, he said. Paul instructed his brother to tell police that on June 22, 2006 he had switched trailers with another driver, taking his friend’s load to Toronto while the friend hauled Paul’s trailer back to Montreal, Jacques Cyr told the jury. The new story “was a totally different sce- nario,” Jacques Cyr testified. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy and a jury, continues in Whitby. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 20093 AP 1 Cedar Street, Ajax, Ontario www.durhamsecondary.com OPEN HOUSE Find out more about Durham’s affordable alternative to public education.

DURHAM’S INSURANCE EXPERTS Call 905 427-5888 1920 Bayly St., Pickering Call First Durham Insurance & Financial Today To Keep Your Finances On Track Council pushes for ratio of one job for every two people in Seaton BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Council has reaffirmed its position that Seaton must maintain a ratio of one job for every two people. On Monday night, Ward 1 Region- al Councillor Bonnie Littley put for- ward the motion after recent numbers from Durham Region show, as part of its Growing Durham Study, the Region’s response to the Provincial Growth Plan, only 16,476 jobs and 71,345 people forecasted for Seaton by 2031. This means one job for every 4.33 people. Pickering has long advocated for one job for every two peo- ple, or 35,000 jobs and 70,000 people. Durham’s plans will go to Regional council Wednesday for approval. “We should let the Region know these numbers are not right for Pickering,” Coun. Littley said. Past amendments to the Regional Offi- cial Plan have called for the ratio of one job for every two people in order to achieve a “healthy, complete and sus- tainable community,” the motion said Durham Region, the Province and the City led the Highway 407 Econom- ic Development Study in 2007 (Hem- son report) that said 16,700 and 20,000 jobs in the employment areas of Seaton, and 15,000 jobs in other areas of Seaton could be achieved by 2031, the motion said. “Ultimately the Region’s plan is funda- mentally flawed,” Coun. Littley said. But Pickering’s director of planning and development, Neil Carroll, said in a memo the Region still fore- casts 35,000 jobs, just not by 2031. He said the Hemson study projected 35,000 jobs by 2056. “The report notes that areas like Seaton often take more than 20 years to build out,” he said. Resident Terry Nuspl attend- ed the meeting to remind Council of the many times it has advocated for 35,000 jobs for 70,000 people. She presented a number of newspaper articles where individual councillors, Mayor Dave Ryan and Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson all asked that jobs be in place before people move in. She reiterated the fact that Seaton is supposed to be a place where people are expected to “live, work and play.” “We’ve been promised 35,000 jobs since 2005,” she said. “It was supposed to be self-sustainable.” Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson thought it’d be appropriate to ensure jobs in Seaton are concurrent with growth and Council agreed. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said since Seaton won’t necessarily get 70,000 people and 35,000 jobs by 2031, it’s a good idea to keep the ratio require- ments at two to one.

Pickering Councillor Bonnie Littley BONNIE LITTLEY newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 20094 AP People, businesses and groups come to the aid of facility BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Hayley Clark and Sarah Cum- mings were so concerned for a local food bank’s possible closing that they spent a Saturday afternoon helping the best they could. It was reported in the News Advertis- er in April that the St. Paul’s On-the-Hill Community Food Bank in Pickering was on the brink of closing due to a lack of finan- cial donations. It feeds thousands of people in Ajax and Pickering and relies solely on donations. The volunteers found they barely had enough to pay the rent. So Ajax girls Hayley, 11, and Sarah, 10, borrowed a wagon from a neighbour and went door to door with a copy of the arti- cle to ask for food donations. “It was one to four (in the afternoon),” Hayley said. “It was a long time.” But they were happy to help, and col- lected an entire wagon full of food. “We felt really good about it after,” she said. She realized since only two kids were able to collect that much in one after- noon, if all the kids in Ajax and Pickering did the same thing, “it would be a whole truck load (of food).” And while some people didn’t help out, most did. “People were pretty generous,” she said. “Some people gave us like three bags full.” Although the food bank is still run- ning, it has stopped providing fresh food to the clients. “Until I can get finan- cially secure that’s on hold until we can ... take the chance of doing that,” said volunteer Marg Jocz. Although Ms. Jocz and director Rae Coulter had originally made a plea for financial donations, they’re happy for both money and food, especially since there are currently “bare spots” on the shelves. “It’s a real roller coaster and you forget how fast you go through it,” Ms. Jocz said. She appreciates the businesses, individuals and organizations that have donated generously, but the food bank is not free sailing just yet, especially with the recent increase in unem- ployment rates. “I don’t know what the future brings,” she said. “But we’re being responsible and securing as much as we can to ensure we are open today, tomorrow and in the future. We have to be active and responsible.” Ms. Jocz plans to update the public on exactly how their donations have helped in the near future. Call 905-839-9537 to find out how to donate.

Federal, provincial governments provide $10.6 billion in loans BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- General Motors Canada will not face court-supervised restructuring like its American counterpart. Taxpayers will provide the company with $10.6 billion in loans invested in the com- pany by the Ontario and Canadian govern- ments. The federal and provincial governments approved GM Canada’s restructuring plan, enabling the Canadian contingent of the company to complete its restructuring efforts without the need for court supervision, a statement from the company said Monday. Oshawa Mayor John Gray said he thinks the loans and restructuring will be enough to save the automaker. GM Canada wouldn’t have gotten loan approval from the federal and provincial gov- ernments if its restructuring plan hadn’t been solid enough, he said. GM Corporation filed for bankruptcy pro- tection in the U.S. on Monday. GM’s agree- ments with the United States Treasury and the governments of Canada and Ontario pro- vide a fast-track plan to a leaner company, GM president Fritz Henderson said. “The new GM will have a significantly stron- ger and healthier balance sheet,” he said. The U.S. is set to put $30 billion into GM, which translates into an approximate 60-per cent stake in the company. The filing by GM in the U.S. is not expected to affect GM Canada’s operations, GM Can- ada’s statement said. The governments of Canada and Ontario will invest $10.6 billion in General Motors. The cash will garner the governments an 11.7-per cent stake in the company. The investment will secure future vehicle production in Oshawa and Ingersoll and pro- tect pensions for GM Canada retirees and create a health-care trust for hourly work- ers’ health-care benefits. The company is promising cash for green research through the Oshawa Engineering Centre and other investments in Canada, the GM Canada statement said. Now Mayor Gray is hoping government loans won’t mean government intervention that would be a detriment to the company, he said. If government tries to dictate what cars GM should build and those aren’t the vehicles consumers are buying that could be a prob- lem, he said. “Because that won’t save us.” The government deal with GM Canada is very good news, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie said. However it’s impossible to know exactly what the future will hold for the company. “Nobody has a crystal ball,” Dr. Carrie said. “At the end of the day, it boils down to sales.” But he said he is confident GM Canada’s restructuring plan is strong enough and at the end of the process, the company will emerge a leaner and stronger entity.

I felt compelled to come up with a gesture of appreciation and demonstrate my support and respect for the men and women of our Canadian Forces and their families during their difficult operations abroad. Heroes Highway Ride is planned to take place on June 6, 2009, with us meeting at 10 Acre Truck Stop located at Hwy. exit 538 just east of Trenton.

We plan to follow the Highway of Heroes to Brock Street in Whitby exiting the highway and continuing to Iroquois Park just south of the highway. This is free for all to participate in. We are only asking that participants sign a waiv- er, but we are encouraging all to gener- ously donate to the Sapper Mike McTeague Wounded Warriors Fund. Lou DeVuono Clarington SATIRE Columnist hits mark in humour attempts To the editor: Re: Columnist way off mark in attempt to be funny, Terry Price letter, May 28. First, Terry, lighten up. Neil Crone is a great example of a person who has overcome many challenges in his life and uses humour to lessen that impact and help others cope with their own challenges and tragedies. If you feel you must take on a subject of “lack of understanding,” spend some time reading about our city’s politics or our gov- ernment’s “lack of understanding” of the average taxpaying citizen’s concerns. Then, as you sit adoring your little puppy peeing in the corner on your rug, loving you as his “pack leader,” appreciate the smiles Neil has put on his readers’ faces and start to think about the big picture. A corollary that people “don’t care” about the real world? Neil Crone certainly does care. Tim Woolacott Oshawa Columnist on right track with sense of humour To the editor: Re: Columnist way off mark in attempt to be funny, Terry Price letter, May 28. I just finished reading Terry Price’s com- ments on Neil Crone’s column. I look forward to reading Mr. Crone’s col- umn every week because, for that brief moment in time, I forget the day to day wor- ries and have a good laugh. If Terry Price had read the bottom of the article, it reads Neil Crone is an actor-comic- writer, not a psychologist, anthropologist or biologist. If you want facts, read the Encyclopedia Britannica but if you want a laugh, get what most of us have: a sense of humour. As for Mr. Crone -- keep up the good work. One smile at a time will help to make this world a better place. Sheri Hebert Oshawa New campus facility is Durham’s ACE in the hole Automobile Centre will be known around the world The Pontiac Grand AM and other GM vehicles now represent the past, but many of the vehicles of the future will be born in Oshawa at the Automobile Centre of Excel- lence. The 146,000-square foot facility on the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy campus received another boost from government on Friday, $28 million from the federal and provincial governments for phase two of the ACE. Currently under con- struction, the ACE is destined to become a world leader in developing the vehicles that represent the future of cars and even larger vehicles such as trucks, trains and planes. “We are thrilled that both the Harper and McGuinty governments are committed to partnering on a vision that will see ACE- Global become a global leader in designing the clean and green vehicles of the future,” UOIT president Dr. Ronald Bordessa stated in a press release. “This new investment bol- sters an industry and community in transi- tion, providing the innovation infrastruc- ture for a prosperous and sustainable future. This is education and research taking a lead- ership role in the auto recovery, and in the future of transportation in all its modes.” The new funding will mean an expansion of the ACE’s climatic wind tunnel and allow it to accommodate a rolling road, important design and testing infrastructure. The wind tunnel will be the scene of testing on four- wheeled vehicles large and small and will be big enough that it can also be used to test trains and aircraft wings. Dr. Bordessa’s characterization of Oshawa as “a community in transition” is bang on and we assume he was speaking about the wider area as well. GM workers and the thousands employed in related industries come not just from Oshawa but also from Ajax, Pickering, north Durham, Clarington, Northumberland and points beyond. For decades they have counted on the auto giant to sustain their families and even a few years ago, its demise would have seemed impos- sible. But the province’s and region’s manu- facturing sector has been in decline for years now, and innovation and forward thinking is the best way of creating a prosperous future for the region. The UOIT’s ACE, and indeed all the research being performed there, is leading the way in this regard. While the news out of GM in Oshawa has been uniformly bad for months, the ACE is a sterling silver lining for a community and a region that is going through some very tough times. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com Editorial Opinions A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright& newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 20096 AP News Advertiser • June 3, 20097 P newsdurhamregion.com I am baffled by the press the swine flu has been getting. I frankly don’t get it. In my house, anyway, there seem to be far more pressing health issues at hand. I don’t know if it’s our lifestyle, bad genes or the fact that our home is built on top of the burial grounds of several indigenous peo- ples, the lost Ark of the Covenant and quite possibly the Shroud of Keswick, but for what- ever reason, we are plagued by illness. Please, if you’re reading this and you have the means, send money ... my children are suffering. Yours could be next. I’m not sure how virulent this thing is. My 17 year old was the first to be afflicted and seems to have been the hardest hit. For starters, I think he is going blind. I asked him to mow the lawn the other day and he did. I saw him out there doing it. And yet when I walked outside afterwards, I could see huge swaths of uncut grass. Strips of missed areas running down the lawn like swimming lane markers. And he never even told me he was having trouble. The brave little soul. Furthermore, this youngster must have some kind of voracious intestinal parasite. I see my son eating and drinking. All the time. Some days it seems like that’s all the child does. I’m buying so much milk I’m think- ing of applying for a quota. And yet, in spite of this astronomical calorie intake, the boy’s pants keep falling further and further down his butt. What kind of malevolent, silent virus is at work there? I’m beside myself. And it’s spreading. The younger son has developed a particularly frightening condi- tion. Since starting high school he is prone to slipping into what appears to be some sort of coma just after showering and before getting dressed. Sometimes an hour will pass in this condition. His mother and I can yell and scream his name until the cows come home, but it seems only the smell of bacon and eggs will snap him out of it. Remarkable. I should have seen it coming, I suppose. Prior to these episodes, both boys were exhibiting strange behaviour. For some odd reason, between the hours of 7 in the morning, when they are roused from bed, and 8:15, when we leave for school, they had become stricken with a strange malady that rendered them incapable of telling time. Poor buggers. And there has been a host of other minor, but equally perplexing, maladies. Judging from the condition of anything within three feet of the toilet, one or both of them is suf- fering terrible vertigo when urinating. Also, one glance into the clothing mine- fields that pass for their rooms, will tell you that they have also been stricken with some kind of spinal fusion that has made it nearly impossible for them to bend over and pick anything up. And of course, they are both tragic victims of seemingly irreparable hearing loss. Their mother and I sometimes have to repeat ourselves many, many times. And they are so young. It’s heartbreaking. Surely we can’t be the only ones experi- encing this. If you’re the parent of teens and you’ve seen these kinds of symptoms, then we need to talk. We’ll never find a cure if we don’t share our concerns. Maybe we could start by sharing them at a nice restaurant, some place, perhaps, where they don’t allow kids. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves many of his best lines for his columns. Forget swine flu, teenageritis has hit home Good photo assignments generally yield good photo opportunities and this was no exception. A local restaurant holds a live country music breakfast every Monday. I took the obvious photos at first, the band, servers and the dancing couples. It was than I noticed the gentleman at the very front of the restaurant playing the fiddle as he pre- pared to go on stage. The set up was a bit strange with the band in the middle facing the back of the restaurant. Most of the front was empty. I knew right away this was the photo: great natural light, a remarkable sub- ject and great leading lines from the curtains. It just goes to prove that if you look long enough, sometimes great photos are right in front of you, hiding in a corner of a restau- rant.

Earlier this week, we found ourselves in a Whitby courtroom closely watching as the Crown applied for an extensive publication ban in an upcoming re-trial of Marco and Anisa Trotta, who were convicted in 1998 in the death of their eight-month-old son, Paolo, who died in 1993. The Crown was seeking an extensive publi- cation ban that would, in effect, prohibit the media from reporting any of the evidence, submissions and rulings from the original bail hearings, reviews, preliminary hearings, trial or appeals. That’s the journalistic equivalent of waving a red flag in front of a bull so the Crown cer- tainly captured our attention. In essence, the intent appeared to be to avoid prejudicing the jury pool by rehashing the evidence of 11 years ago. After discussing it amongst ourselves and with our lawyer it came down to this -- the ban doesn’t prohibit us from covering the actual retrial this fall, and extends only the length of the trial, so we chose to weigh in only where we needed clarity on the intent of the motion. The motion was successful and until this fall’s retrial is over, we can’t report what was said during the original trial that saw Marco Trotta convicted of second-degree murder and assault, and Anisa Trotta convicted of criminal negligence causing death. We will, however, be reporting closely on the new trial, which is scheduled to begin Oct. 13. While this application was not too difficult to deal with, as an editor I have a concern any time the media is forced to become a partici- pant in court proceedings in the name of the public’s right to know: it’s economics. The media industry is not immune to the effects of a stagnant economy, which has the poten- tial to put real damper on the will to fight publication bans in the name of principle.

A Stormwater Management Master Plan for Frenchman’s Bay and its’ contributing watersheds was initiated by the City of Pickering and its’ consultant MMM Group in 2006 as it was identifi ed as a priority project in the fi ve-year implementation plan for Pickering’s waterfront. The recommended Master Plan consists of a group of projects, programs and policies designed to address issues related to fl ooding, erosion and poor water quality as well as a comprehensive restoration plan that will increase and improve the habitat function of the Provincially Signifi cant Wetlands located within Frenchman’s Bay and Hydro Marsh. The Master Plan was developed by the City in cooperation with Toronto and Region Conservation in accordance with the Master Planning component of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, October 2000, as amended in 2007.

P I CKE R I NG R E CRE ATION COMPLEX family. In a place of prominence was a black-and-white family por- trait of the Donahues: Linda, John and their children Kayla and Jeffrey. But only three of them would make their way into the church, clinging to each other as they walked past the rows of friends and family who joined them in mourning. At least 500 people packed into the church. They filled the sanctu- ary, lining up along the wall and spilling into the hall and lounge area. Many of the tear-stained faces in the crowd were Jeffrey’s fellow students who lost their friend the day before the senior prom. Inside the church, a slideshow showed more images of the popu- lar Ajax teen, who had planned to attend Brock University in the fall. “When I first saw that slideshow I was overwhelmed by how much living Jeff had packed into 18 years,” said his uncle, John Elliot, who was one of several people to share his memories of Jeffrey. Both Mr. Elliot and Jeffrey’s father, through the letter, said family mem- bers are touched by an outpouring of support on a Facebook group dedicated to the teen. The group was started by Michael Lum-Walk- er, a friend of Jeffrey’s since they were four years old, and had grown to more than 1,200 members. Mr. Elliot read messages post- ed on the site where one student wrote: “Jeff’s last status on Face- book said he was chasing lights in the sky. You’ve reached the sky, Jeff, you’re with those lights, and now we’re chasing you. You’ll live on in our hearts, we’ll never forget you, and we love you, forever and always. Rest in paradise.” Michael, along with another friend, also spoke, sharing favou- rite memories and talking about the friend who he’d shared so many laughs with, a friend known for his sense of sarcasm. “His one-liners had the power to make everyone laugh,” he said, before expressing the sentiment shared by so many. “We love you, we all love you.” Near the end of the ceremony, Jeffrey’s Aunt Jill said many had asked what they could do for the family. She asked that people go home and show love and appre- ciation for each other. “Kayla’s last words to Jeff were, ‘I want to spend more time with you’ ... who do you want to spend more time with?” Jeffrey was driving a Pontiac Grand Am north along Brock Road near Concession Road 7 on the afternoon of May 28, when he lost control and crossed the centre lane, colliding with a truck. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 200910 P Ladies...Ladies... is youris your bra comfortable?bra comfortable?

The routine traffic stop resulted in several charges against the suspect, Dur- ham police said. Officers followed the vehicle, which had a noisy muffler, as it sped north on Harwood Avenue near Kingston Road at about 3:40 a.m. After cops stopped the car, they saw what appeared to be dope in a bag. A search of the car also turned up a loaded Glock handgun and a substantial quantity of cash, police said. Howard Burke, 18, of Millington Cres- cent in Ajax, faces 19 weapons and drug- related charges. Pickering domestic dispute leads to grow-op bust PICKERING -- A domestic dispute early Sunday morning led to the discovery of 242 marijuana plants in Pickering, police say. At about 4:05 a.m. Sunday, May 31, Durham Regional Police officers were called to the Brock Road and Pickering Parkway area after police received calls from concerned citizens about a woman screaming in their neighbourhood, and another from a nearby department store that an injured and distraught woman was at the store’s location. Officers then attended Wal-Mart in Pickering and found an injured female. She was sent to hospital and was later released. But further investigation resulted in the discovery of a marijuana grow-op at her residence, which she shares with a man. Police, with a search warrant in hand, seized 242 marijuana plants with a street value of $242,000. The 29-year-old female was then arrested and charged with production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. She was released on condi- tions. An arrest warrant has been issued for the 27-year-old male occupant of the home in connection with the same drug charges and for the charge of assault causing bodily harm in relation to the vio- lent domestic incident. The names of both charged have been withheld to protect the identity of the 29-year-old victim in the domestic dispute. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 200912 AP Have You Lost Your Job In The Auto Industry?

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 3, 200913 PSchool DaysDays Mike Johnston Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com STUDENT VIEWS A great place to make friends STEPHANIE WATSON Grade 6 student PICKERING -- September 2001 was just the beginning of many years to come at Vaughan Willard. I remember walking through those doors for the first time and knowing, finally, it was my turn to go to school. With my new backpack and runners on, I was so excited and ready to go. Playing with blocks, learning the alphabet, being the special person and playing in the loft was just the start. “Criss cross, apple sauce,” Mrs. Snape would say. We all knew we had to sit cross-legged because it was time to get ready for a story. Mrs. Hall was always there look- ing after us, phoning our moms because we forgot our lunch, and she always made sure there was a bandage or two on hand just in case we fell down at recess. It’s all coming to an end as we move to high school in the next two years. I will look back and remember, this was my school where I grew up. I would not go to any other school because this is where my friends are and this is where I want to be. I have been on lots of teams like soc- cer with Mr. Inglis, basketball with Ms. Salmon, and have been a part of clubs including ski and chess. Vaughan Willard has all the sports and clubs you want to do and more. Every teacher and coach is really great and fun. When I am at school, I feel safe because I trust all the teachers and people around me. There has never been any time when I didn’t feel safe at school. I am so glad and lucky enough to be a part of Vaughan Wil- lard Public School. It is a great place to be and make friends. VAUGHAN WILLARD The man, the school School named in honour of former Pickering resident ROSEMARY WILLARD AMBROSE Parent PICKERING -- Vaughan Willard, the man, was born on July 3, 1901 in Toronto. He was the son of George Willard and his second wife, the for- mer Millicent Sawtell. Two years later, his sis- ter, Vivian Mildred Willard, was born. Vaughan Willard’s birth registration records his name as Marshall Vaughan Willard. Both children were known by their second names. Mr. Willard’s great-grandfather, William Wil- lard, sailed with his wife and family of nine chil- dren from Portsmouth, England, on April 11, 1832 in the first contingent of the Petworth Proj- ect, which sponsored emigrants from England to Canada during the years 1832-1837. Three ships sailed in April 1832 -- the Willard family was on board the Lord Meville. Mr. Willard graduated from the University of Toronto with a bachelor of applied science degree in June 1924, and a master of applied sci- ence and engineering in June 1925. A nephew states Mr. Willard was his favourite uncle who took him on holiday trips to the Mag- netewan River and taught him about fishing and living in the wild. As a young man, Mr. Willard was a competitive rower at the Argonaut Rowing Club in West Toronto. He apparently liked cars and at one time owed a Jewett. Mr. Willard was married to Monica Leona Terry. There were no children. At some time in the mid-1940s, they moved to RR 3, Pickering. His mother died on Oct. 24, 1946 in nearby Whitby. On Jan. 6, 1956, Vaughan Willard was named chairman of Pickering SS 3 East. He died suddenly at St. Michael’s hospital in Toronto of a heart attack on Friday, March 30, 1956. At the time of his death, he was chief under- writer engineer of Johnson and Higgins, Cana- da, Ltd., insurance underwriters, having joined that firm 15 years previously. He was active in civic affairs as a director of the Pickering Town- ship Ratepayers’ Association; past chairman of the Pickering Township planning board; and as a trustee on the township school board. He was president of the West Hill and Highland Creek Lions Club. His wife died Dec. 4, 1973. Both were interred in Park Lawn Cemetery, Toronto. STEPHANIE WATSON RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND PICKERING -- Vaughan Willard Public School student Meredith Warburton holds a picture of the school’s namesake. Bear in the playground, fire in the port-a-pac MEREDITH WARBURTON Grade 8 student PICKERING -- Our school was built in 1957 at 1911 Dixie Rd. In the beginning, Vaughan Wil- lard Public School was a small school, consisting of a central hallway with six classrooms, a small gym, and two small boys’ and girls’ washrooms. The administration office was very cramped, with barely enough room for all the activity that took place there. In 1982, a port-a-pack was added. Originally, it was to be a temporary structure. For 24 years, Vaughan Willard kept that temporary addition. On June 25, 2006, fire destroyed the port-a-pack and it was torn down. Many of us watched as the dark smoke bil- lowed out of our beloved primary entryway. I could not help but wonder if my indoor shoes could be salvaged. This was not the only fire at Vaughan Willard. Just two years earlier, on March 22, 2005, a smaller fire caused $40,000 worth of damage. We have discovered that our school is not by any means fireproof. In fact, it is arguably the most flammable school in Dur- ham. Like most of the older schools in the region, Vaughan Willard is hot in the summer. Luck- ily for us, the beautiful flowers from our award- winning garden fill the air with sweet scents. Last year, on a day when the breeze had car- ried the garden smells into our classrooms, an afternoon announcement told us that we were to go into lockdown -- there was a bear on the loose. No one believed this. We students decid- ed it had to be a prank. We had given the teach- ers so much grief and now they thought they could scare us if they told us there was a bear. At the end of the day, we stayed in our gym until there was a parent or guardian who could drive us home. As we were planning our revenge against the teachers, the bear was spotted on the playground. That was the closest Vaughan Willard has come to a bear attack.

HIGH SCHOOL Denis O’Connor stepping up at OFSAA soccer BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After three suc- cessful runs into the Double-A OFSAA provincial soccer cham- pionships, the senior team at Denis O’Connor is stepping up against the big boys this time around. Having won bronze at Dou- ble-A OFSAA in 2008 and silver the year before, Denis O’Connor made the commitment to the Quad-A level this season and didn’t miss a beat. A 2-0 blank- ing of Dunbarton back in the fall completed an undefeated season in LOSSA, and with it, the cham- pionship title and a berth at the OFSAA championships that kick off Thursday in Toronto. “I have a good group of kids and we train non-stop,” says head coach Shaun Griffith. “They are driven to train and they are real- ly dedicated. When we’re train- ing, we train hard. We put in the work for a solid hour three times a week and they keep it going.” The success on the outdoor pitch was followed with a strong indoor season as well, reaching the final of the last tournament they played in after winning the previous two. The indoor season allowed the team to stay sharp in light of the unique setup in boys’ high school soccer that crowns the respec- tive champion in the fall, but the provincial championships aren’t held until spring. It’s a long time to practice. Denis O’Connor opens the tournament Thursday morning against St. Theresa of Lisieux, followed by an afternoon game against Dante Alighiere Acad- emy. The round robin closes out Friday morning against York Mills. The top two teams from each of the four pools advances to Friday’s quarterfinals, which Griffith expects to be a part of. “The good part of it is that we’ve faced quite a few of the teams that we are seeing in our group, and we’ve been success- ful. That’s an upside for us, but then again, you never know. The roundball could go either way.” The semifinals will be Saturday morning, with the bronze (noon) and gold (2 p.m.) medal games closing out the three-day tourna- ment. Denis O’ Connor is unranked heading into OFSAA, but the seeding system is based on how many points a particular associ- ation has earned based on wins and ties at provincials the past five years. LOSSA reps haven’t accumulated enough points to earn a top-8 seed. JR. C LACROSSE Patriots struggle on the road BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The West Durham Patriots are definitely one of those Home Sweet Home kind of teams in the early going of the Jr. C lacrosse season. Unfortunately for them, just one of their first five games to start the season has been on their home floor, which they took advantage of with a six-goal victory over Clarington. On the downside, the other four on the road have yet to yield a victory, with the latest set- back coming in Kingston on Sat- urday, dropping a 9-7 decision to fall to 1-4-0 on the season. “It’s a tough thing when you’re going to everybody else’s arena to play. It’s a tough start for any team let alone one laden with rookies like ours,” said GM Rob McDonald of his team’s tough start. “We’ll persevere and hopefully it will make them strong as a unit, and we’re seeing that.” Persevere they must at least once more on the road, visit- ing Clarington on Friday before returning home for a date with Kingston on Monday. Saturday’s game in Kingston got off to a wild start as the teams combined for 10 goals in the opening period, with Kingston holding a 6-4 advantage. It was 9- 5 after two, with the Patriots scor- ing the only two goals in the final 20 minutes. Todd Nakasuji had a strong night, scoring four times and adding an assist to lead the point parade for the Patriots. Single goals went to Ryan Gilm- our, Greome Hossack and Dako- ta Watson. Credited with assists were Ross Burst, Spencer Take- da, Matt Stewart, Carson Hyde, Gilmour and Watson. “This is a learning process for all of the kids,” said McDonald. “They will get it together and I’m pretty confident we’ll have a good season, it’s just that the learning curve can be pretty steep.” McDonald said that with so many new players to the league on the roster, the adjustment from playing a 45-minute minor game to a full 60 minutes at the junior level can be a big one. With the experience will come a better understanding of the expectation level of the coaching staff, and the level of play that is needed on a nightly basis to win, he added. “It’s early. Let’s see how every- thing falls out at the end of the year,” he said of the patient approach the club is taking. The Patriots sit at the bottom of the four team East Division standings, with Peterborough (6- 0-0) leading the way, followed by Clarington (4-3-0) and Kingston (2-4-0). The good part of it is that we’ve faced quite a few of the teams that we are seeing in our group, and we’ve been successful. Shaun Griffith It’s a tough start for any team let alone one laden with rookies like ours.

Not only did they face strong competition on the field, they had to deal with harsh inclem- ent weather including cold tem- peratures, driving rain and very strong winds on the first day. They prevailed though against the weather and opposition to bring back the championship trophy from their division. In their first round-robin game, Pickering faced Erin Mills United Eagles and came away with a 4–1 win. The next round-robin game of the day had them taking their second win of 2–1 against the Stoney Creek Angels. These two wins put them through to the quarterfinals where they started the day by posting a 3–0 win against the Waterloo Warriors for their only shutout of the tournament. The semifinals saw them play against the Oakville Red Gaels. With a 3–1 score in this game, they headed to the champion- ship game against the Darling- ton Fusion. Pickering prevailed with a final score of 2–1 against the Fusion, returning home proudly with the championship trophy for the Pickering Soccer Club. The Pickering Power Strikers U12 team members are Megan Doll, Ashna Ganeshan, Breanna Geuvara, Nicole Laing, Danelle Lindo, Nicole McMillen, Madi- son Penfold, Nikayla Rodney- Scarlett, Sara Schoelfield, Brean- na Sundberg, Stephaine Tannis, Jamila Thombs, Justah Wynter, Simone Wark, Maja Zdravkovic and the goalie Taylor Lamothe. Coached by Gene Gesualdo, assisted by Krish Ganeshan, managed by Bill Schoelfield, assisted by Shannon Gesualdo. U12 SOCCER Pickering Power has strong start to season in Niagara Falls SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- The Pickering Power U12 soccer team won five games in a row at a tournament in Niagara Falls to win the championship. Pickering edged the Darlington Fusion 2-1 in the final game to bring home the title. BASEBALL Dodgers end three game slide OSHAWA -- Ryan Fleming’s red- hot bat helped end a three-game losing slide for the Oshawa Dodg- ers in a Monday makeup date with the Guelph Royals. Fleming, who cracked a pair of solo home runs in a 5-4 loss in Bar- rie Sunday, connected for a three- run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning Monday, giving the Dodgers a 9-7 lead they held in the ninth. Adam Garner, in his first appear- ance since re-signing with the Dodgers, earned the win in relief, allowing one unearned run on three hits over 2-1/3 innings. The victory moved the Dodgers back over the .500 mark at 5-4 for the Intercounty Baseball League season, and helped ease the pain of a write-off of a weekend. In addition to the loss in Barrie Sunday, the Dodgers were ham- mered in both ends of a double- header Saturday at Kinsmen Sta- dium, losing 15-8 and 17-1 to the London Majors. The Dodgers have a busy sched- ule ahead with home games against Barrie Thursday (7:30 p.m.), Ham- ilton Saturday (2 p.m.) and Missis- sauga Sunday (7:30 p.m.), in addi- tion to a game in Mississauga Fri- day.
