Michael Monckton, 26, appeared by video in an Oshawa courtroom Tuesday as a pub- lication ban imposed late last week was lift- ed at the request of a Crown prosecutor. The ban, imposed Friday, had prohibited media from publishing Mr. Monckton’s name, or that of two-year-old Keagan Davis, who was found dead by emergency workers respond- ing to a basement apartment on Southgate Drive Jan. 5. Residents of the quiet east Oshawa neigh- bourhood were left reeling Friday after- noon when news emerged a man had been charged with the murder of the child. “It’s awful,” said a man who lives next to the scene of the killing. “It’s sickening when an innocent like that is slaughtered.” Durham police Inspector Jamie Grant said police and emergency workers responded to the home just before noon Jan. 5 and found the boy dead in the basement apartment. Mr. Monckton was found on scene. An autopsy last week confirmed the child was the victim of a homicide. “It’s tragically sad case,” Insp. Grant said of the incident. “Children are so innocent.” Police charged Mr. Monckton, described as the boyfriend of the child’s mother, with second-degree murder. He was arraigned on the charge in an Oshawa court Friday and remains in custody. Mr. Monckton was scheduled to appear in court by video Wednesday morning. News of the murder sent shockwaves through the neighbourhood where Kea- gan had lived with his mother, Leigh-Ann Cooper, and Mr. Monckton for a couple of months. People in the area said they weren’t well acquainted with the couple or the child. Residents said an ambulance arrived at the home Jan. 5 then left without sirens or emer- gency lights activated. Police guarded the house around the clock for a number of days, residents said. The death brought outpourings of grief from the child’s parents on Facebook. “I never tought i (sic) would have to live to see this day that brought me the most tears in my life,” read an entry on a page posted by Daniel Davis, Keagan’s father. “(I)ts (sic) hard to believe my little man’s gone. “I will love you forever, Keagan. I still talk to you every day,” the posting said. Another Facebook page authored by Ms. Cooper calls the boy “my pride and joy.” Ms. Cooper also wrote: “I have the best boy- friend in the world I am so happy that I have finally found my true love, soulmate and best friend! “Life couldn’t be any better for me these days,” the entry reads. Facebook pages relating to the child’s death were withdrawn over the weekend but were active again Tuesday, following the rescind- ing of the publication ban. Prosecutor Lori Anne Turner asked that it be rescinded after police consulted with Kea- gan’s parents. “They are not opposed to the name of the victim in this matter being published,” Ms. Turner said. Keagan is Durham’s first homicide of 2010 and his death came just a week and a half after 29-year-old Tammy Lewis was slain in her Oshawa apartment. A 30-year-old man has been charged with second-degree mur- der in that case. A funeral for Keagan is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the Oshawa Funeral Home on King Street West.

The Pickering woman was staying with a friend in an apartment block at White Oaks Court, and her partially-clad body was found on the morning of Nov. 19 by a man walking near the ravine at the south end of the street, said Durham Regional Police spokeswoman Sergeant Nancy van Rooy. Although police continue to wait for toxicology results, which Sgt. van Rooy said could take up to six months, inves- tigators have ruled out foul play. “Durham Regional Police Services are confirming that this was not a homi- cide,” Sgt. van Rooy said in an inter- view. “The investigation is closed and they’re not looking for anyone in the death of this person.” The death was initially considered suspicious, but after an autopsy indi- cated there was no sexual abuse or trau- ma to the body, and further interviews and investigation ensued, foul play was ruled out, Sgt. van Rooy said. The identity of the woman is not being released since police do not release the names of people who die from sud- den death and because the family has requested it be kept private.

AJAX -- Two fifteen-year-old boys were charged after a man was robbed while using an ATM machine in Ajax on Jan. 10. Police were called at roughly 7:25 p.m. to the Bank of Montreal ATM on Westney Road North in Ajax. The victim told police he was alone at the machine and was accosted by two teens after he completed his transaction. The victim said the suspects demanded cash and personal items including his house and car keys. The man said the suspects told him they were armed, but he was not physically injured. They ran away on foot, heading south on Westney Road. Uniformed police officers apprehended the two suspects without incident. Police said one of them was carrying a pellet gun and a knife. The two fifteen-year-olds are charged with robbery, possessing property obtained by crime, being disguised with intent to commit a crime and using an imitation firearm while committing an offence. One of the suspects was also charged with pos- session of a prohibited weapon and carry- ing a concealed weapon. Both were held for a bail hearing.

Aimed at initiatives such as greener schools, student achievement, community use of schools, and a long list of other things, the additional funds provided over the course of the year equal $10.6 million for capital initia- tives and $6.1 million for various program- ming, according to a staff report presented to the Durham District School Board’s standing committee, Jan. 4. Included in the capital funding is money for green pilot projects at Dunbarton High School in Pickering and the unnamed Lynde Shores public school in Whitby, expect- ed to open this Sep- tember. The program, which received almost $95,000, will see solar technology installed at the locations to heat water, said superinten- dent David Visser. “I look forward to seeing the solar panel at Dunbarton at work this spring,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau. She was especially excited that the Province is making this investment during tough eco- nomic times, she said. The green technology will allow school boards to be more cost effi- cient, Trustee Croteau added. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra asked Mr. Visser about the three wind turbines the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board is getting through the same funding source. The green pilot project had an application process attached to it, and although the public board submitted proposals for a multitude of proj- ects, it was not successful in the wind turbine venture, Mr. Visser said. Other energy efficiency projects the board received funding for include light controls, sensors, automated controls, ventilation sys- tems, and broilers. Under the field services branch, the board received money for the community use of schools initiative — $136,800 for outreach coordinator and $68,000 for its priority schools program. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra asked about the funding versus cost of community use of schools. It has been a number of years since staff last reviewed the cost of community use of schools and associated fees, said superinten- dent Ed Hodgins, who presented the report on supplementary funding to trustees. “We are reviewing that, but do not have any recommendation for change at that time,” Mr. Hodgins said. Trustee Dolstra continued that the way he reads the figures in the budget, community use of schools is costing more than the board is receiving, which he has a problem with considering funding shortfalls faced else- where, such as in special education. There have been about $800,000 in off- sets included in the budget that might not appear under community use of schools, but under field maintenance and other areas, Mr. Hodgins said. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 13, 20105 AP Wednesday January 13, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions FEDERAL POLITICS Parliament shutdown a way to avoid tough questions To the editor: Real leaders stand up to tough questions. When I was nine I did something at school that I was not supposed to and felt so guilty and ashamed that I feigned being sick for a few days, in order to avoid tough questions from the teachers and the other students. I thought that if I could just avoid the whole situation it would blow over, every- one would forget it, and maybe everything would go back to the way it would be. Luck- ily I had parents who were wise enough to see through my fake “cough” and “fever” and sent me off to school anyway. I had to stand up against those tough questions over and over again, but I learned from the experience and became a better person because of it. There are many who suspect the Conser- vatives have shut down Parliament for the second time in as many years because they do not want to face tough questions about detainee abuses in Afghanistan. Avoiding the situation may be a tactic appropriate for a nine year old, but it is not an appro- priate tactic for our Parliament. Kevin Smith Pickering Lame excuses offered for proroguing Parliament To the editor: Re: PM’s decision made sense given tim- ing of Olympics, editorial, Jan. 6. For your paper to blindly accept the Conservative talking point that the Olympic games are an appropriate, never mind “routine” reason for the suspen- sion of democracy is inadequate at best; ignorant and completely irresponsible at worst. Never in recent mem- ory has any government in the world shut down its legislature weeks before an Olympic games. The fact that this Conservative gov- ernment has done so “for the games” in the midst of numerous scandals, includ- ing the Afghan detainee saga, smells of a lame excuse. I wouldn’t accept the other lame duck talking points so easily either. The Sen- ate has only three bills currently before it; the Tories have killed over 30, all held up in their own ministers’ offices. As for implementing phase two of the “econom- ic action plan”? I thought it was already 97 per cent implemented. The ever- growing 85,000 member anti-proroga- tion Facebook group is evidence enough that Canadians believe the legislature matters more than the luge. Where’s your editorial on that? Chris Harshman Oshawa Parliament prorogued to avoid scandals To the editor: Re: PM’s decision made sense given tim- ing of Olympics, editorial, Jan. 6. Your editorial is utter hogwash. In 1988, when the Olympics were hosted in Cal- gary, Parliament was not prorogued or otherwise suspended in any way. Like- wise, the governments in the U.S. (1996, 2002), Japan (1998), and Italy (2006) all sat and conducted regular government business while hosting the Olympic games. Make no mistake: the decision to kill over 30 government bills and suspend the business of governing was a calcu- lated political ploy to allow the Conser- vative government to escape account- ability and avoid scrutiny over its many well-documented scandals and attempt- ed coverups. Michael Maynard Oshawa Lifting of publication ban in murder case made sense In a free and democratic society where an open justice system is critical, the use of pub- lication bans must be judicious, transparent and, above all, clearly understandable. In the death of two-and-a-half-year-old Oshawa boy Keagan Davis and the sub- sequent charge of second-degree murder against 26-year-old Michael Monckton, the decision by a justice of the peace to impose a sweeping publication ban last Friday was confounding. The ban prohibited anyone from naming the victim and the accused and also prevented the release of any evidence given at a bail hearing Jan. 8. This Week opposed the part of the publica- tion ban which prevented the naming of the victim and the accused, which was requested by Crown attorney Lori Ann Turner. On Tues- day afternoon, at the Crown’s request, the ban was lifted. According to the Criminal Code, a publi- cation ban on naming victims, witnesses or the accused in a case can be made by a judge or justice of the peace if they feel satisfied it is for the proper administration of justice. It can also be imposed to ensure a fair trial or to protect victims of crimes like sexual assault. Protection of the victim was not at issue in this case. As for the accused, it was difficult to understand why a prosecutor would have called for a ban on the naming of a person charged with second-degree murder. Criminal Code prohibitions are them- selves, perhaps, out of date with modern technology. By the time the publication ban was announced last Friday afternoon, a Face- book site with hundreds of members was up and running with posters naming the vic- tim, the accused and even posting theories about how the child was killed. The creator of the Facebook page, the boy’s grieving father, simply wanted to pay tribute to his dead son. However, others who posted on the site took swipes at the accused and even ran down the boy’s mother. The boy’s father did respect the ban by removing his son’s name from the site. It brings to light the effectiveness of publi- cation bans in an era where electronic com- munication is instant and available every- where to virtually everyone. The decision to impose a publication ban by a judge or jus- tice in one office could be easily sidestepped by anyone with the technology to do so. And will the justice system want to spend the time and money it would take to prosecute every- one who decides they want to ignore the ban or who simply don’t know it is even in place? That’s highly doubtful. Publication bans need to be instituted for a clearly defined reason that forwards the administration of justice. We failed to see, in this case, how the deci- sion to withhold the names of the victim and the accused provided for the “proper admin- istration of justice.” And that was why This Week was prepared to fight this publication ban. 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 • January 13, 20106 P WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com WE ASKED Welcome to 2010. These first few weeks of the new year are generally crammed with resolution-fired individuals, bound and determined to improve, clean up, trim down and generally revamp their heretofore humdrum lives. All well and good and certainly laudable efforts. Also, unfortunately, largely doomed to failure. History tells us that most of our resolu- tions, no matter how well-intentioned, will flame out at some point. Witness the scores of stationary bikes and stair-step- pers in garage sales come the spring. Gym memberships, musical instruments and teach-yourself-Aramaic courses are flying off the shelves right now. But give it a few weeks and those running shoes, violins and CDs will largely be gathering dust. It happens to most of us. And I’m certainly no exception. Which is why this year, I have boiled all my resolutions down to one simple credo that I think I can actually pull off. And which, in the pulling off, I believe, will make all those other resolutions fall into line. This year I resolve to feel good. In fact, I resolve to make feeling good my prime directive, as Captain Picard might say. This is no small feat. In fact, I suspect it may require far more energy than con- sumed by all those stationary bikes and stair-steppers combined. But it’s also energizing at the same time. For when you feel good, you are tapped in. You are connected to your Source, to God, to the power that creates worlds. A force more potent even than Jenny Craig. The trick, however, is to keep that con- nection open. And how do you do that? I think you start by not clogging it up with crud. I resolve to feel good means not hang- ing around with or hanging onto people who make me feel bad or who seem to enjoy feeling bad. It means not starting my day by reading, listening to or watch- ing bad news. It means being careful and selective about what I feed my head with. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that some people will be absolutely adamant about eating only pure, whole foods and drink only the most crystalline water but have no qualms whatsoever about sitting down to visually ingest hours of the most depressing, violence-laden images and stories ever told? How many times a day do we allow something or someone to anger us? How often do we shake our heads or our fists at something we have little or no control over? How much of our time is spent in condemning or judging? Ask yourself if your default setting has become pissed or delighted? I did and I wasn’t thrilled with the response. What might our lives, our worlds, be like if we just deliberately shifted our focus a little? If we chose to see good. If we opted to appreciate diversity and contrast instead of condemning the different. If we decid- ed to discover and dwell on what pleases instead of wallowing in what irks. There is always a choice. And given that, why would any of us choose to feel bad? I’m going to try and hang onto that thought as I stroll into the new year. And as I bump into my old habits and old thought patterns, I’m going to ask myself again and again; Is what I am about to do, say, or think going to make me feel better or worse? I don’t believe there’s a more important question we can resolve to ask ourselves. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Luck plays the stron- gest role as I had my camera and lens pointing at the right place at the right time. The effects of this flashover as firefighters were battling the blaze lasted a mere cou- ple of seconds. As photographers, we are not immune that this is someone’s home in flames. This is the dichotomy of being a photojournalist. You walk away smell- ing like smoke, eyes stinging, straining to breathe, while someone else’s life just changed forever.

When a loved one is taken as the result of a tragedy such as a traffic accident, a crime, misadventure or the outbreak of a wide- spread disease, the family is thrust into the unfamiliar territory of the public eye. Such was the case Friday with four fami- lies in Durham Region. A 55-year-old Scu- gog man died when his truck struck another vehicle head-on on Island Road shortly after 6 a.m. Police, at the request of the family, did not identify the victim. Naturally, passers-by at the scene have questions. How did the acci- dent happen? Did someone die? Did I know that person? Has anyone been charged in the accident? The media’s job is to answer those questions to the best of our ability which we did Friday with a story and photo from the scene which we posted to our website, news- durhamregion.com. A couple of hours later, a 69-year-old Oshawa woman was struck and killed by a bus on the campus of Durham Col- lege-UOIT-Trent in north Oshawa. This acci- dent happened in front of many witnesses on a campus of more than 10,000 people. Again, the victim was not identified by police at the request of the family. A nine-year-old girl was thrust into the spotlight by the mere coincidence that she died the same week as a two-year-old murder victim. We have been in touch with the nine- year-old’s family to quell any rumour that this is an H1N1-related death, but the victim has not been identified at the request of the fami- ly. The story of the two-year-old and his iden- tity is told in today’s editorial. We understand the families’ desire for pri- vacy, but as journalists we wish they felt oth- erwise. I, for one, would like that 69-year-old woman to be remembered for more than the way she died. She’s probably someone’s mom and grandma. Maybe his family remembers the man who died in Scugog for the great holiday dinners he cooked. Perhaps the lit- tle nine-year-old had wonderful child-like aspirations of being an Olympian, a teach- er, a soldier. Who knows, but everyone has a story and it would be nice if that story was the newspaper clipping family and friends had to tuck away in a scrapbook. -- Joanne Burghardt is Editor-in-Chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group.

RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND Incentive to attract more business, create jobs PICKERING -- In an attempt to attract appropriate development and bring business taxes into the city, City staff is looking to phase in development fees. “We need to at least look at possi- ble City initiatives, without giving up any dollars due to the City,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. Coun. Pick- les introduced a motion at the lat- est council meet- ing calling for staff to create a devel- opment incentive program that will attract more business, jobs and sustainable elements to build- ing in Pickering. Coun. Pickles pointed out that the foggy financial climate may be making it difficult to secure financing from pos- sible clients who are interested in devel- oping in the city. Payments such as development charg- es, building permit fees and payments in lieu of parkland are usually substan- tial when it comes to large projects. That payment is currently required up-front “and may act as a deterrent to projects getting underway.” The plan is to still charge the same total amount of fees payable to the City, but to accept them through phased-in payment. “Incentives may help attract more business, more jobs and lessen taxes on residents,” Coun. Pickles said. A possible program could include tying the payment to construction progress based on the City’s objectives of density, sustainable elements and job creation the project will provide. Staff will work on the plan and take it to council for approval.

We know that leaving that pile of snow at the end of your driveway can be frustrating. We do our best to keep our roads safe and clear. Here’s how it works - Keeping the roads clear and safe is our priority. When we clear the streets we often leave a pile of snow at the end of your driveway. We try to minimize this, but often we have to go by a second time to clear remaining snow back to the curb and another pile is left. You’re not alone – this is common practice in most municipalities. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to remove these piles of snow - road safety is our priority. We need your help – please do not deposit snow from your driveway onto the street. This is against the Provincial Highway Traffic Act and the City of Pickering’s Ice and Snow Clearing By-law 6650/06. Your understanding and cooperation during the winter is most appreciated and will assist in ensuring a safe winter for all! Teen Band Night & Coff ee House Music, Poetry, Drama. By You, For You.

What about the years of experience a politician has accrued and the knowledge that comes with it? Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson has been on council since 1988. “It takes a lot of years” to accomplish some things, Coun. Johnson notes, pointing to the 19 years it took to have a train bridge installed at Brock and Taunton roads. “People think politicians can’t make a difference. They can, but it takes a lot of years,” he adds. Nester Pidwerbecki agrees, having been on Oshawa council since 1990. A councillor’s success depends on “what you’re prepared to put into it. In speaking with a lot of younger people, they really don’t know how much work we put in,” Coun. Pidwerbecki says. People often come to city hall and don’t see councillors, he notes. In addition to council meetings, there are community meetings most nights. “It’s a lot of time and effort,” Coun. Pidwerbecki says. “We do things that don’t get reported. It requires a lot of time. Young people don’t realize it.” It’s easy to put in 40 hours a week on the job, he says. A typical scenario is getting home and sitting down for dinner, when the phone rings. “You think it’s another telemarketer and it’s a person with a genuine concern,” Coun. Pidwerbecki states. “You have to be dedicated and want to do this for the community.” Anyone thinking a councillor’s job is going to a couple of meetings a week will “get into the wrong job.” Councillors aren’t required to, but generally do attend most fes- tivities and events, Coun. Johnson says. “It’s not just going to a meeting on Monday night and go back to your job the next day,” he notes. A federal or provincial politician will make decisions that have an effect months or years down the road, while a municipal politician’s decisions are much more immediate, he says. “Calls reflect the day-to-day, grassroots,” he notes, pointing to something such as a watermain breaking. “Eighty per cent of property taxes, and water and sewer, are han- dled by a regional councillor,” he states. “Individually, you have to really understand what you’re doing and have the integrity to follow through.” Anyone who thinks they can make a difference might want to run for the job, Coun. Johnson says. “You have to get to know and get a grasp on what your neigh- bours and neighbourhoods want. You might have an idea. You have to understand the wants and needs of the community. Dif- ferent parts of the community have different issues,” he says. “Each neighbourhood has a reflection of what it wants. You have to represent them, not do what you want,” Coun. Johnson says. “You can’t be selfish and be a community leader. You have to swallow your pride.” He supported the ‘Big Pipe’ when it was first proposed, but many of his ward residents opposed it, primarily because an odour control facility would be near Cherrywood West. “It was contrary to my previous position, but I had to switch to sup- port them. It was a decision for the entire community.” Name recognition may or may not play a role for veteran council- lors in Oshawa this year. Oshawa is moving to a city-wide election of council rather than the current ward system. Coun. Pidwerbecki hopes that will interest people in the election. “It will give them quite a lot to consider,” he says, as each voter will cast a ballot for three City councillors, seven Regional councillors and the mayor. “I’m sensing people are looking for changes,” he says. “Perhaps that might strike some people to get off their butts and get out and vote. “Opening it up city-wide might give someone an advantage,” he says. “I’d certainly like to see some new people come forward. If you’re doing the job, does it matter?” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Old faces versus new blood at city hall RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Nester Pidwerbecki has been an Oshawa and regional councillor for 20 years. If you’re doing the job, does it matter? Oshawa Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki Two running for mayor PICKERING -- Mayor Dave Ryan hopes Pickering’s voters will, for the third time, elect him as their mayor. He filed nomination papers Monday, the first day possible for the 2010 municipal election. Mayor Ryan was elected to council in 1994, elect- ed as mayor in 2003, and re-elected in 2006. He won’t go through unopposed, however. After a one-term break from council, Maurice Brenner hopes to take his political role a step fur- ther as he’s running for mayor. Mr. Brenner was elected as Ward 1 City councillor in 1985 and again in 1988, and then represented Ward 1 resi- dents at the regional level until losing his seat to Councillor Bonnie Littley in 2006. The municipal election is on Oct. 25 and candidates have until Sept. 10 to file nomination papers at the clerk’s department. 2010 municipal election candidates as of noon Jan. 8: Mayor Dave Ryan, Maurice Brenner Ward 1 regional councillor Bonnie Littley, Jennifer O’Connell Ward 2 regional councillor Bill McLean Ward 1 city councillor Kevin Ashe, Sherry Croteau Ward 3 city councillor David Pickles Durham District School Board trustee Chris Braney Durham Catholic School Board trustee Paul Bannister, Jim McCafferty -- Kristen Calis newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 13, 201011 AP www.eldonlighting.ca 133 TAUNT O N R D.

Police said a 69-year-old woman was crossing the bus loop area when she was struck by a GO Tran- sit bus around 8:30 a.m. Sgt. Nancy Van Rooy told newsdurhamregion.com it is believed the woman was a passenger on the bus. Her name is not being released pending notification of next of kin. A GO Transit spokesman, Robin Alam, said, “any loss of life is a tragedy and at this point we’re still working to find out what happened”. “There are a lot of rumours going around, there was a rumour it was a student,” said Judy Robinson, Durham College’s vice president of academic. “To the best of our knowledge, it’s not one of our students or staff,” she said, noting the woman is not believed to be a member of the campus community there, which also includes the University of Ontar- io Institute of Technology and Trent University. The Simcoe Street North Oshawa location has about 300 buses travelling through daily and can act as a transfer point for people outside of the campus, Ms. Robinson said. “I can’t say if she was on the bus, or not on the bus ... I don’t have those details,” Ms. Robinson said. “We have no idea about any of the details.” The school has lowered its flag in respect for the victim. It has also arranged for counselling for anyone who witnessed, helped or feels affected by the col- lision, throughout the weekend and Monday. Staff and students have been notified about the accident through the campus internal e-mail sys- tem. Classes are still in session as normal, but with bus service being rerouted away from the bus loop, Ms. Robinson said. “But otherwise, we’ve been operating as normal,” POLICE Woman killed by bus at Durham College she added. On Friday morning, yellow police tape cordoned off the bus loop at the entrance of Durham College. “(The woman) was tended to by EMS at the scene and taken to Lakeridge Health Oshawa where she succumbed to her injuries,” said Durham Regional Police Inspector Jamie Grant. “Our traffic guys are here trying to figure out exactly what happened.” AJAX -- The Ajax Lions were among those giving rather than receiving during the holiday season with their support for the local Salvation Army in Ajax. The Lions donated $2,000 and 50 toys to the organization’s Christmas fund as well as two pairs of tickets to an Oshawa Generals game. The tickets were intended for older teenagers who are often forgotten when it comes to gift donations. The Lions celebrated their 55th anniversary in May and put about $50,000 back into the commu- nity in 2009. In November, the Lions presented a cheque for $70,500 to the Rouge Valley Health System Foun- dation which was to be used for the purchase of medical equipment at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital. The money was raised through community fundraising events and through a donation in memory of Lion Terry Audet and his wife Dorothy Audet.

After about two years of a submitting a number of requirements, such as taking tests online, par- ticipating in security checks and watching DVDs on common language skills in prepara- tion for the possi- ble opportunity, she recently learned she was chosen to be one of 50 massage therapists to work with the athletes at the Games. “We’re the back- ground people that make it happen,” she said of being one of 1,000 medical personnel who will be working at the Games. Although she’s a volunteer and won’t receive any pay, and she’ll be without pay for seven weeks from her job, her accommodations and meals will be absolutely free. “It’s a small sacrifice to make great connections and to learn a lot for your career,” she said. She’ll be working for about five or six days straight, and then will have some days off where she can enjoy the Games, the village and special functions and dinners she’s excited to attend. Ms. Sheldon works at Miranda Naturopathic Clin- ic Inc. in Whitby. She graduated from the Suther- land-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in Toron- to in 1995 and has been working in the profession since.

She currently plays in Canada’s women’s professional hockey league on the Mississauga Aeros, and sees Ms. Sheldon for therapy a couple of times a week. “Being there before, I think it’s a blast,” she said. “It’s some- thing you always remember. You never forget a moment of it.” Ms. Sheldon is excited to work with all of the athletes, especially the alpine skiers. “Their fitness levels are phenomenal, so just to be a part of that is an honour,” she said. Ms. Sheldon will leave for Whistler on Feb. 2 and take part in eight days of training for the Olympics. After that, she’ll do another eight days of training for the Paralympics.

Stuck in last place in the Cen- tral Canada Hockey League’s East Division, the Panthers could have been deemed sellers at the deadline, giving up on this sea- son and building toward next. But as the deadline came and went, the Panthers only added two and subtracted one. Joining the club is Nikita Man- drik, an 18-year-old forward from Villanova, in a cash trans- action. Mandrik was in the line- up in time for Friday’s home game, scoring once in a 5-4 over- time victory over Lindsay. The only other move the Pan- thers were involved in came ear- lier last week when they sent goaltender Anthony Kimlin to Markham in exchange for back- up netminder Brach Tiller. “I had a meeting with the vet- erans and a couple of the guys everybody wanted and all the rest wanted to stay,” said Pando- vski of the lack of activity. “I’m here to move kids to the next level. If a kid wants to be moved and doesn’t want to be here, I’m one of those guys I want happy kids and people who want to stay here with the club.” In Kimlin’s situation, it wasn’t a case of him not being happy, but rather he wanted to go to a contending team to finish out the season, noted Pandovski. With the acquisition of goal- tender Brennan Knoblock from Markham back at the beginning of December, Pandovski said the Panthers didn’t need two No. 1 goalies, allowing for the Kimlin trade. Teams made inquiries about the availability of Tyler von Engelbrechten, the leading scor- er for the Panthers with 15-30- 45 totals in 40 games, but the forward was content to stay in a Pickering uniform, Pandovski added. In Friday’s win over Lindsay, Jordan Ramsay, Brayden Rose and Blair Falotico scored in addition to Mandrik to end reg- ulation time tied at 4-4. Chris Gelencser scored on the power play just 58 seconds into over- time, giving the Panthers the vic- tory. The win improved the Pan- thers to 14-23-3, but time is run- ning out on their playoffs hopes. They trail eighth-place Ajax and Lindsay by 10 points with 10 games left to play. Lindsay holds a game in hand with 11 left in its schedule, making the more real- istic target Ajax, with just eight games remaining. The Panthers will be in Whitby on Thursday, then host Cobourg Friday at 7:30 p.m. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Out of my way AJAX -- J. Clarke Richardson’s Jordan Brown, left, tried to get around Woodbridge’s Shabeeh Akhter in preliminary round action of the Notre Dame senior boys’ basketball tournament held at the school on Friday. J. Clarke won the game 82-63, and proceeded to win the tournament, beating Ajax 77-42 in the semis and Northern 78-60 in the championship game. Hockey team looking for redemption BY DAVID GROSSMAN newsdurhamregion.com PICKERING -- Jordan Bean doesn’t want to go through a repeat of last season when his highly touted St. Mary Mon- archs high school hockey team from Pickering ended up fall- ing short of its goal -- an Ontario gold medal. “That’s a sign of failure and not a good word,” said Bean, whose team finished fourth at the pro- vincial playoffs. “This time, it’s all the way. No roadblocks and we have the players to win it all.” With 22 wins in 25 games this season, that looks promising for a confident St. Mary squad and it showed at one of Canada’s largest high school hockey tour- naments. The Monarchs beat the Moth- er Teresa Spartans of London, 3- 1 on Saturday night in the cham- pionship game of the St. Peter’s Classic, a tournament that start- ed with 48 schools, including many expected to challenge for the Ontario final in March in St. Catharines. Bean, a 17-year-old right wing- er, scored twice, beating goal- tender Eric Fowler early in the first minute of both the opening and second periods. It was a chippy game with 19 penalties. There was a 15-min- ute delay late in the second peri- od after a melee saw five play- ers handed game misconducts. Officials warned both benches to cool things. Both teams were playing with reduced lineups with players committed to rep teams. When St. Mary went up 3-0, the game threatened to get out of hand. “I hope this is a sign of good things to come,” said St. Mary head coach Mike Dion, whose Monarchs lost in the St. Peter’s final last year. “We started out sharp but I didn’t like the pen- alties we took, the composure was lost and power plays for the other team can change things.” St. Mary’s other goal was scored by Corrado Gianfriddo, also on a power play. St. Mary advanced to the final after beating Uxbridge in a semifinal and Brother Andre of Markham in a quarter-final by 2-1 scores earlier in the day.

Leading up to the finals, Ajax beat the Panthers 5-1, Erie Lions 5-1, and the Westmoreland Eagles 1-0, but dropped a 6-1 decision to the Panthers in the rematch. Team members include, back row, from left: coach Pat Egan, Alf Lobo, Bill Shane, Ed Graves, Mike Plantinga, Nolan Balfour, Chad Manson, David Fay, Tyler Egan, Patrick Gummer, Taylor Shane, Scott Brown, Samantha Jarron, Connor Plantinga, Brendan Sharmin, Nicholas Hamel; front row: Jeremy Jackson, Kevin Lemaitre, Kieran Lobo, Tommy Gallagher, Adrian Lo and Cross Novia. BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Two things were glaringly apparent by the end of Sunday’s 7-4 loss by the Oshawa Generals against the Sudbury Wolves. One, a lack of depth up front is making it difficult for the team to get by when injuries strike, as they have of late. And, two, the goaltending is just not good enough many nights. On Monday, Generals coach/GM Chris DePiero moved to address the former, convinced as he is that the latter will take care of itself in due time. DePiero picked up a pair of forwards from the Bel- leville Bulls prior to the noon trade deadline in the Ontario Hockey League, acquiring Whitby native Cody Alcock for a fifth-round draft pick in 2012 and re-acquiring overager Tyler Taylor, who signed as a free agent after being cut loose by the Bulls. Along with JP Lombardi, picked up in a trade with Guelph Thursday, the Generals have added the type of depth DePiero had been longing for for some time. Already missing Christian Thomas, Nick Espos- to and Alain Berger Sunday, the Generals also lost John Padulo to injury in the first period, leaving them with only about a half dozen proven OHL for- wards. The Generals (18-20-3-1) have three games this weekend, in Sudbury (17-20-2-3) Friday and at home against Mississauga (28-8-4-1) Saturday, 7:05 p.m., and Kingston (20-19-1-2) Sunday, 6:05 p.m. HOCKEY Generals stick by goalies, add some depth up front HOCKEY Ajax Attack fall to eighth in playoff race AJAX -- In the never-ending shuffling of the teams ranked fifth through eighth in the Central Canadian Hockey League’s East Division, the Ajax Attack have settled in at the bottom of the playoff pool. A 5-3 loss to Upper Canada on home ice Sunday leaves the Attack with a 20-21-1 mark with just eight games to go. Just five points separates fifth through eighth, but the problem facing the Attack is that all of the teams ahead of them in the standings hold games in hand. The Attack have just eight games remaining on the docket. Qualifying for the playoffs shouldn’t be an issue, as they are seven points up on ninth place Cobourg, with the Cougars having just eight games left in the season. Sunday’s start against Upper Canada was a good one, as Jordan Reed and Blake Boddy staked the Attack to a 2-0 lead 4:14 into the second period. But Upper Canada reeled off five goals in a row, three in the second and two more early in the third, before Garrett Trainor ended the run with a power play goal for the Attack, their sec- ond of the afternoon on 12 chances. The Attack enters a busy weekend, vis- iting Bowmanville on Friday, followed by home games Saturday against Whitby and Sunday against Cobourg, both at 3 p.m. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 13, 201016 AP 911/Emergency Response Employment opportunities in this field are very diversified and encompass the public and private sectors.
