Teen suffers serious injuries PICKERING -- A driver fled the scene Monday night after hitting a 17-year-old girl in Pickering, leaving her with seri- ous but non-life-threatening injuries. At around 7 p.m. at Val- ley Farm and Kingston roads, police and EMS responded to the scene of a collision after the girl was hit, police say. When police arrived, the young Pickering girl was being treated by EMS and was later transported to local hospital for additional treatment. She was walking southbound across Kingston Road with the pedestrian cross signal when the suspect vehicle turned left to go eastbound from Valley Farm Road onto Kingston Road and struck her. The vehicle was last seen trav- eling eastbound along Kingston Road toward Brock Road. It’s described as a silver-coloured van and investigators are unsure if damages are appar- ent.

A lone suspect produced a knife and ordered employees at the Main Drug Mart pharmacy on Kingston Road to lie on the floor during the 4:30 p.m. heist on Dec. 15, Durham police said. The workers fled as the sus- pect stuffed a duf- fel bag with the powerful drug fentanyl; he also grabbed cash before fleeing on foot. The robber described as a white man in his 30s who stood about six-feet tall with a heavy build. He wore a grey hooded sweat- shirt with stripes on the sleeves, khaki pans and running shoes.

Ms. James, then Sandra Henderson and a resident of Scarborough, tried out for the Olympic gymnastics team at the age of 16 to compete in the summer games but didn’t make it. Instead, she was selected to pass the torch in Montreal. Only at the last min- ute, she found out she was actually running the final stretch of the torch run to repre- sent the country’s English portion, along with Stephane Prefontaine to represent the French portion, to signify the unity of Can- ada. “I was very, very nervous because there were steps involved and I’m never good with steps,” she jokes. But she did just fine and even landed on the front of Sports Illustrated. “Some people think that’s the biggest thing,” she says. “My kids think it’s neat.” She adds the magazine is currently in a box under her bed, but her boys, 10 and 12, often pull it out and look at it. Although naturally disappointed she couldn’t compete in 1976, looking back, she’s happy with how things turned out. “I am one of very few who can say that they actually lit the urn in an opening cer- emony in an Olympics versus all of the ath- letes that competed,” she says. Final torch runners in other years include heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali and French football star Michel Platini. Ms. James’s experience with the Olympics wasn’t over in 1976. When the 1980 Sum- mer Olympics took place, she was given the task of delivering the flame from Montre- al mayor Jean Drapeau to Lord Killanin in Moscow since Canada was one of 64 coun- tries that boycotted the games that year. “Normally it would go mayor to mayor but we handed it to the president of the Olympic committee,” she says, adding that was also a great experience since attending the Moscow Olympics was a rare opportu- nity. Ms. James retired from gymnastics in 1977 but continued competing at the uni- versity level when she was a student at the University of Toronto, and has a good idea of how much work goes into being an ath- lete. And she can’t wait until the games begin, no matter what the sport. “I was passionate about the Olympics before that happened,” she says. “I go with very little sleep during the summer and winter Olympics.” CASH In Your Old and Broken GOLD CASH In Your Old and Broken GOLD WE WILL PURCHASE ITEMS SUCH AS: CHAINS • EARRINGS • RINGS • BRACELETS MEDALLIONS • DENTAL GOLD • BROOCHES DIAMONDS • EMERALDS • RUBIES • BROKEN CHAINS CLASS RINGS • GOLD CHARMS We Pay CASH on the SPOT!!

Initiative a help for those going through cancer treatment BY EMILY WRIGGLESWORTH newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Going through cancer treat- ment is rough on anyone, even without the hassles of everyday chores. Helping with one part of these chores is Pickering-Ajax Merry Maids, which is involved with an American initiative called Cleaning for a Reason. The non-profit orga- nization works with professional house- cleaners all across the United States, and now Canada, providing free houseclean- ing for women going through treatment for cancer. Cancer patients can get four house cleanings at no charge, one per month. “It is a normal housecleaning -- no dol- lar value attached to it,” says Merry Maids branch owner Ellen Tebbs. Ms. Tebbs is “honoured” that her compa- ny has a chance to be involved in Cleaning for a Reason, saying it is “something we can do to help people right in our community.” She is proud all nine of her employees are from Durham Region and are helping their neighbors. At any given time, Merry Maids has two customers from Cleaning for a Reason. Potential customers, or family members, must complete an application, which can be found at www.cleaningforareason. org. Ms. Tebbs says she then meets with potential clients for her area. Houses being cleaned can be any size. Cleaning for a Reason is reliant on the donations it receives. Although Merry Maids is not a centre of Cleaning for a Rea- son, Ms. Tebbs says that if any client or res- ident wishes to make a donation, she will accept it and send them to the organiza- tion’s headquarters in Texas.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions BILLS Rising water rates shaft responsible consumers To the editor: Re: Durham taps users with higher water, sewer costs, Dec. 9. We are outraged that Durham Region is going to increase the water rates even though the water consumption has been reduced. What incentive is there for people to con- serve water? Here we go again. Consumers are being shafted for doing the right thing. John and Barbara Todhunter Ajax HERITAGE Fate of home shocking To the editor: Re: Taking a stand on Pickering home, Dec. 7. Reading about the Bentley/Carruthers home brought back memories. Brenda Davies, one of the ”Last Stand” women, was my mother. The fight was only for a few years but it dominated my childhood. I knew how important her fight was but didn’t appreciate it until I grew up. I knew the government only “shelved” the airport but always felt it couldn’t admit its mistake. I thought it would quietly sell the land. I did not realize what was happening. I drove to the north Pickering area. I was shocked. There are so many houses gone, yards overgrown, fields wild. Houses were boarded up and in disrepair. I can’t believe our government, the landlord, is allowed to let its properties fall into such ruin. It’s the law; a landlord is responsible for upkeep of their property. Does this not apply to the government? I feel Transport Canada is quietly destroy- ing our heritage and homes so when or if they decide to put an airport in there is no one left on the land to fight. Whether we live on the land or not, we will fight, as my mother fought. I encour- age others to drive the sideroads of north Pickering. You’ll be shocked. Kelly Hockley Brock CLIMATE CHANGE It’s really pollution control, not global warming To the editor: Re: Government inaction is criminal, Jessica Bell letter Dec. 7. Considering the fact the East Anglia orga- nization has been caught red-handed issuing doctored data, Jessica Bell should be embar- rassed. There is no credible evidence man is causing global warming as claimed by these environmental anarchists. The leftists have concocted this scheme to obtain money from wealthy nations in order to prop up countries that are poor and developing. The mainstream media, including this paper, have been pushing the “global warm- ing” scare for so long that most people are believing that the earth is about to parish if they don’t do something. Pollution control is fine and an admirable endeavour but don’t confuse it with global warming. Alex Fabricius Oshawa LIGHTER SIDE Man cracks up over big egg To the editor: Re: Uxbridge farmer hopes big egg cracks record, Dec. 7. I would like to say that I found the article on the big egg something I would like to see more of, meaning the human nature type of story. It was well written and I find that this type of story is one that I would remember for years to come. Not the violence stories, not the sports tales, but a true honest story from our community. With farming taking a high- er profile in “grown locally,” this fits right with everything. Good work, Jeff Hayward. Bill Steele Oshawa Scientists in the School helps pave way to brighter future One of the crucial requirements to be competitive in the 21st century is a well- educated workforce and a pillar of any good education is a grounding in science. That’s why it was gratifying to see Scien- tists in the School, a non-profit organiza- tion founded in Durham in 1989, reward- ed for business excellence by the Ajax- Pickering Board of Trade this year. The winner in the 10-to-49 employees cate- gory, Scientists in the School’s sole aim is to bring hands-on science lessons to stu- dents from kindergarten to Grade 8. Draw- ing on more than 400 classroom present- ers who are experts in science, technology and engineering, the organization wants to transmit the love for science its presenters have to eager young minds. It’s a wonderful idea which has explod- ed over the past two decades. Since Cindy Adams took over as executive director in 1992, Scientists in the School has jumped from 40 Durham classrooms to 21 school boards in Ontario. Last year, 21,150 Ontario classrooms got the benefit of Scientists in the School. The reach for the program appears limitless. The benefits of science are wide-ranging but so vital in a competitive world where the global economy is shrinking every year. In his recent stop on his budget tour, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty spoke about the need for Canadians to fill elite manu- facturing jobs, those that would require high-end scientific knowledge. He sees Canada, like other Western coun- tries, shedding old-style manufacturing jobs that are going to developing nations, but taking on highly skilled and knowl- edge-based manufacturing that requires advanced training and also comes with decent pay. Scientists in the School can light the flame that leads students down the path to science high school courses and col- lege, university and training programs which transform into elite manufacturing careers. The performance of Canadian students on tests administered by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Develop- ment shows while we are doing well, there is room for improvement. In its interna- tional tests of 15 year olds, Canada ranked eighth in science knowledge, behind Fin- land and Japan who tied for first, but well ahead of the United States, down in 20th place. Other G8 countries and their plac- ings included: France (12), Germany (14) and Italy (22). Russia and Britain were not in the top 40 rankings. We can and should strive to be No. 1. With the help of Scientists in the School, we can get there. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / 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 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 17, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 17, 20097 AP ‘Masterbedroom Is More Than Just The BEST Sleep Selection!

Defence attorney Michael McLachlan told court the case against his client, who is charged with kidnapping a 12-year-old girl from Peterborough in August, 2008, then sexually assaulting her and abandon- ing her behind Courtice Secondary School, doesn’t meet the requirement for a guilty verdict. “The case squarely put is this: has the Crown proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Tippett committed the offenses?” asked Mr. McLachlan. The answer is no, he contended. At issue is both the lack of physical evi- dence showing Mr. Tippett as the perpetra- tor and the reliability of some police and civilian witnesses, the lawyer said. Durham Constable Robbie Harding was one of the first officers on the scene in the wee morning hours of Aug. 6, 2008, when a resident called police after being alert- ed by a girl’s screaming near the Courtice school. He engaged in a police chase with Mr. Tippett’s van and told court he pulled up alongside the van twice, seeing the driv- er well enough to positively identify Mr. Tippett. Mr. Tippett has contended he was not driving the van. Instead, he said, he was carjacked by two armed men, with the severely inebriated 12-year-old, whom he insists he was taking to find help, in his van in Peterborough. He said he was then driven down Hwy. 115 toward Durham, assaulted and dumped in a ditch as the van took off, the girl still inside. The Peterborough man said he spent the next several hours walking along train tracks he now can’t identify, attempting to figure out where he was and find a cell- phone signal. And though Const. Harding said there was “no doubt” the man he saw was Mr. Tippett, neither his comments over police radio on the night of the chase, nor his notebook, reflect the rather significant facial deformity Mr. Tippett has as a result of Treachers Collins syndrome. There is also the issue of how many times Const. Harding saw the driver and how good a look he got at him. “Credibility is not an issue; it’s reliability,” Mr. McLachlan said. Const. “Harding’s evi- dence should be scrutinized very carefully on this issue of reliability.” Only after Const. Harding had already heard about Mr. Tippett’s facial deformi- ty and been subject to the “media bom- bardment” of pictures of the accused after his arrest, did he mention it, Mr. McLach- lan suggested. That “shows a journey from uncertainty to certainty” on the issue of identification, he said. The testimony of a Peterborough police officer, who took a call from Mr. Tippett early on the morning of Aug. 6, was also called into question. There are also issues in terms of some civilian accounts of their recollections of the night, Mr. McLachlan said, pointing to inconsistencies between some witnesses’ videotaped police interviews shortly after the event and their testimony during the trial. Forensic evidence showed trace signs of the semen of two different men on the vic- tim’s shirt, Mr. McLachlan reminded court. That, he said, adds credence to Mr. Tip- pett’s version of the night’s events. All of that together “should help you come to the conclusion the Crown has not prov- en the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” Mr. McLachlan said. Crown Attorney Jim Hughes is expected to deliver his closing submissions Thurs- day. A verdict in the judge-alone case, being heard by Justice Bruce Glass, is expected to be delivered Dec. 23 in Peterborough. COURTS Crown hasn’t proven Courtice sex assault beyond reasonable doubt, says defence Credibility is not an issue; it’s reliability. (Const. Robbie) Harding’s evidence should be scrutinized very carefully on this issue of reliability. Defence attorney Michael McLachlan METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- Stanley Tippett is answering to charges of sexual assault and kidnap- ping of a 12-year-old girl in Courtice last year. The court case wrapped up in Whitby Wednesday. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 17, 20098 P gram coordinator for Pickering Museum Village. The Scots observed Christmas as a religious celebration and saved their revelry for the New Year. That evening was all about good luck and the first person knocking at the door would bring the luck with them. The Welsh, on the other hand, celebrated Christmas with food, drink and song and visitors to Pickering Village Muse- um got a sample of the wassailing, which is similar to carol- ing. The wassailers carried with them a horse’s skull, called the Grey Horse, which is a symbol of good luck and fertility. Ms. Smiles said just like today, immigrants brought a variety of holiday traditions with them to Canada in the 1800s. There was also carolling at the Bible Christian Chapel, examples of a Victorian Christmas and dancing at Squire Jon- athan’s Christmas Ball. About 50 to 60 volunteers, many of them in period costume, depicted the celebrations from the 1800s. They included people of all ages. “We have a lot of youth volunteers because youth were very much a part of a pioneer society,” said Ms. Smiles. Among the volunteers was John Smith, decked out in a red robe as Father Christmas in a chair outside the general store. This was Mr. Smith’s first year as Father Christmas and he said he was participating for the sense of community spirit. “It’s talking to children, smiling, and being nice to people,” he said. Father Christmas is often synonymous with Santa Claus, but that wasn’t the case in the 1800s, said Mr. Smith. “This was Father Christmas before Coca-Cola got a hold of him,” quipped Oshawa resident Scott Weatherall as he passed by. Mr. Weatherall was accompanied by his wife Sharon and the two snapped lots of photos. This was their first Christmas visit to Pickering Village Museum and both said it was interesting to learn about the different Christmas tra- ditions. “I’ve been wanting to do this for years,” said Ms. Weatherall. “It’s a great way to spend the afternoon.” Ajax resident Nancy Borden visited the Pickering Museum Village with her 12-year-old son Kirk and three-year-old nephew Matthew. “It’s beautiful,” said Ms. Borden. “It really puts you in the Christmas spirit.” While Kirk talked about the various events and traditions depicted by the volunteers, Matthew, like many other children, had eyes only for the horses. “That’s all he talks about, the horse rides,” said Ms. Borden. Christmas celebrations at Pickering Village Museum are an annual tradition and are finished for the year.

A recommendation going to Regional Council calls for almost all transit fares to remain the same. A single adult fare would remain at $2.90. The only fare increase pro- posed is the U-Pass for UOIT and Durham College students. It would rise to $63 per semester from the current $60 a semes- ter. The increase would start on Sept. 1 of next year. During a meeting of Region- al Council’s finance commit- tee, Jim Clapp, the Region’s finance commissioner, said, “As the finance guy, keeping the fares to same, that was a tough, tough thing to do. I agree with Ted (Galinis, general manager of Durham Region Transit), this is not the year to increase fares. Perhaps it’s wise to keep them where they are.” DRT is planning no service enhancements in 2010, Mr. Galinis told the finance com- mittee. The only change being pro- posed is a summer U-Pass pro- gram in 2010. It’s a four-month pilot project and the pass would cost $80 for each student. REGION No fare hike for Durham Transit METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- Durham Region Transit riders won’t have to shell out extra in 2010 after a recom- mendation to keep fares the same was made to Regional Council. A single adult fare will remain at $2.90. As well, Durham Region Transit is planning no service enhancements for the coming year.

Junior trustees hope to make the initiative national BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- This year’s crop of public student trustees is trying to make a name through Operation Humanity. The group of student trustees, made up of Hailey Brooks, Beejan Giga, and Pat- rick Quinton-Brown, introduced Operation Humanity as a non-profit organization for peer and humanitarian issues, during the Durham District School Board’s Dec. 7 board meeting. “We’re attempting to use this as our portal to give back,” said Beejan, of Pickering High School, during the presentation. The group, which currently has 35 regis- tered members, intends to build a founda- tion that Ontario students can turn to for support with projects in their school. With a website up and running, the group also offers a Peace Forum through which students can discuss issues, share ideas of past events and learn from each other. Their goal is to open up Operation Human- ity to Durham and eventually expand it pro- vincially or bigger. “This represents all of your Ontario students, all of your students in Can- ada and internationally,” Beejan said. Each school is different and runs its ini- tiatives differently, but through Operation Humanity, students can share ideas and resolutions with each other, said Hailey, of Uxbridge Secondary School. The group has a Valentine’s Day dress- down event planned for school board staff, in which staff members could pay a toonie to wear more casual clothing, with the money going into an account for Operation Human- ity. “Our goal is to raise funds to support the underprivileged,” Hailey said. The project also has support from the DCDSB student senate, according to the group. Patrick, a Sinclair Secondary School stu- dent, encouraged all trustees to log onto the website and read more about the initiative. “Because we think this is going to be a great method for change,” said Patrick.

The 46-year-old Pickering res- ident overcame a pair of serious shoulder surgeries and got back on the court at the World Mas- ters Championships in Australia a couple months ago, returning home with a gold medal to show for her efforts. “It was fabulous. It was won- derful,” Golding said of her experience at the Masters, held in Sydney, Australia. “It was a difficult final. By the end of the tournament, every- one is sore and we had sustained some injuries so it was very dif- ficult ... I was very happy to win it.” Golding’s team, en route to the gold, captured wins against two Australian teams, a Russian team and, in the final, ousted Finland in a hard-fought four- set affair. Playing at such a high level is nothing new for Golding and neither is being caught in the middle of a hard-fought battle. The battle came coping with a shoulder injury. Golding twice tore everything in one of her shoulders, and twice went under the knife in hopes of hav- ing the problem rectified. The second time it worked. The first, not so much. “It took two years,” she said of rehab. “I tore everything at the Texas World Cup in 2007. The first surgery, they corrected everything but then my labrum re-tore and I had to have sur- gery again. It came totally unat- tached ... I went to one of the top surgeons and had some of the top physiotherapists work- ing on me ... I had done a lot. I tore the small head of the biceps, I tore the rotator cuff, I tore the labrum.” Having previously been a member of Canada’s Nation- al Women’s program, Golding knew of the feeling that comes with playing at a high level and longed to return to that stage. Her shoulder issues weren’t about to get in the way of her appearance at the World Mas- ters. “It’s wonderful that there is games likes the World Masters to play in for those of us who have played at high levels,” said Gold- ing, who, in the 1980s, attended Western Michigan University on a volleyball scholarship. “It’s amazing. A wonderful experi- ence.” Four years from now, the World Masters will be held in Torino, Italy, and Golding is hopeful of a return trip. In the meantime, she will watch intently as her kids climb the ranks in the same sport she has received so much from. Her 15-year-old son Christian plays at Pickering High School, while 11-year-old daughter Bre- anna has said she’d like to make a career out of competing in the sport. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Andrea Golding and her volleyball team Cotu repre- sented Canada at the World Masters Championships in Australia in October and won a gold medal. VOLLEYBALL Golding is golden Team scheduled to fly to Finland on British Airways after Christmas BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com AJAX -- With a strike date loom- ing by workers of British Air- ways, a ringette team from Ajax could be left out in the cold this holiday season. The U14 Tween girls of the Ajax Ringette Association spent most of the last calendar year fund- raising for a post-Christmas trip to Tuusula, Finland, to compete in a tournament and reconnect with a group of fellow ringette players who spent some time in these parts earlier this year. But with the announcement that cabin crew members of Brit- ish Airways plan to strike from Dec. 22 to Jan. 2, the girls are in a wait and see mode leading up to their Dec. 27 departure date. “From what we can tell, we’re not going to know until we’re sit- ting at the airport waiting to go,” said Steve Bell, the vice-presi- dent of the ringette association, who has a daughter on the team. “Then they’ll tell us if our flight in cancelled.” Bell noted he has looked into alternative flights with other airlines, but the cost is roughly twice the $900 or so they paid to book with British Airways months ago. In order to pay for trip at that cost, members of the team have been fundraising all over Ajax and Pickering to the point where their dream became a reality. “It would really be three times the cost because we’d have to wait however long to get our original money back. I think if they don’t have a flight, it’s not going to happen. We just don’t have the money to do it,” Bell said. The fact they are in a holding pattern at this point is frustrat- ing and that feeling will only get worse, should the strike prevent the trip. “They are saying that we cold re-book in the next 12 months at no cost. Big deal. We don’t want to go then, we want to go now,” said Bell. In addition to playing in the tournament, the team had plans to dine out in Finland, attend a Finnish Elite League hockey game and a New Year’s Eve cel- ebration. On top of that, Bell says the girls are disappointed they may miss out on a chance to recon- nect with their friends. “They worked so hard and these girls have stayed friends since they met in February. They are on Facebook and MSN all the time talking about how they are going to see each other. Now it’s like, nope, not going to hap- pen.” RINGETTE Overseas trip in jeopardy pending strike It was a difﬁ cult final. By the end of the tournament, everyone is sore and we had sustained some injuries so it was very difficult ... I was very happy to win it.

BASKETBALL Durham City Bulldogs win first tournament of season SUBMITTED PHOTO MARKHAM -- The Durham City Bulldogs went undefeated on their way to the championship title of their first tournament of the season. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 17, 200916 AP BASEBALL Dodgers pull out of Intercounty Baseball League BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Dodgers have struck out in Oshawa. Three years after the death of Troy May, who founded the Inter- county Baseball League team in 2002 and kept it afloat despite lukewarm interest in the area, the Oshawa Dodgers have suspended operations for the 2010 season. While citing many reasons for the painful decision, Kerri Drake, May’s sister-in-law and the team’s vice president, says recent age restrictions brought in by the league were the final straw. The Dodgers had been drawing heavily from the Ontario Blue Jays youth team the past two seasons and would not be able to under the new rules, Drake explains. The team, owned by Lori May, who is May’s widow and Drake’s sister, had also lost about $40,000 in each of the past two seasons, Drake says. “It’s been a very, very difficult decision. Obviously with Troy, it’s really hard to let this go because it’s something that he loved so much, but financially it’s just not possible to keep it going,” Drake explains. “And with the league, we’re just going in two different directions and we don’t see how we can get the kinds of players that the league wants us to have, the senior aged players who want to get paid basically.” Without the budget to pay established senior players, Drake says the Dodgers instead invested in Dan Bleiwas, who was hired to run the baseball operations and manage the team, and drew play- ers from the Blue Jays program he also oversees. Under the new rules, which Drake says were tabled and agreed upon by the other eight IBL teams at a meeting the Dodg- ers were unable to attend in late- November, each team would be able to use a maximum of 10 junior-aged players in 2010 and five the following year. Additionally, midget-aged play- ers such as Whitby sensation Evan Grills, who pitched some for the Dodgers the past two sea- sons, would be ineligible, she says. “We really got the feeling they didn’t want us there and this was kind of the final straw,” says Drake. “I guess some teams saw (using Ontario Blue Jays players) as an unfair advantage, but then we saw them paying players as an unfair advantage. There were a lot of issues.” In their eight-year history, the Dodgers struggled to draw fans and field a competitive team, winning only one playoff round, in 2008. But several players have been drafted over the years and some have gone on to profession- al opportunities. The team nearly folded follow- ing May’s death in 2006, but the family decided to carry on in his memory.Fin d t h e H o m e S e r v i c e P r o f e ssional you need for allyour...
