When he presents his fifth bud- get on Thursday, the Whitby- Oshawa MP will be wearing new shoes bought at Andrews Shoes in Whitby. Helping him choose the black shoes were owners Gary Barton and Jennifer Heard. In keeping with an on-again, off-again Canadian tradition, Mr. Flaherty bought new shoes to present the budget. In the past, he’s bought work boots and ice skates for a son. Mr. Flaherty said the budget will focus on jobs. “In the budget on Thursday, our first priority will be jobs and the economy, making sure we com- plete the economic action plan, year two of the economic action plan,” Mr. Flaherty said. “We’ll be making sure we support job cre- ation and job protection.” The government has already announced there will be few new initiatives in the budget, beyond $19 billion in the second year of stimulus spending. “We have to make sure we have adequate demand and make sure we protect and create jobs. We’ll show how we’ll reduce the defi- cit over time, so in the medium term we can balance the budget in Canada,” he stated. “We’ll focus on jobs and then plan ahead for deficit reduction. I’ll talk a lot about both of those things on Thursday,” Mr. Flaherty said. “It’s difficult to exercise fis- cal control. Everybody asks for more. We’ll have a plan going forward on deficit reduction.” He had just returned from Van- couver, where he watched the Canadian men’s hockey team win gold. “It was special. A great moment in sports.” He bought the black shoes from the business because “it’s family owned. I don’t know how reasonably priced they are,” he quipped. The shoes signified “we sup- port Canadian manufacturers in the budget on Thursday. It’s appropriate we’re here today and support the manufacturing sec- tor in our community. “I like these better than the ones I was wearing,” he joked. On the day he was buying the shoes, a report came out that the Canadian economy grew five per cent in the fourth quarter. According to Statistics Canada, that’s the fastest growth since the third quarter of 2000. “The economic results are encouraging. The signs are posi- tive,” Mr. Flaherty stated. “I met with my colleagues, the seven central bankers, seven finance ministers in Iqaluit just a few weeks ago and we had a good fireside chat. There are issues out there,” he said, pointing to the debt issue with Greece. “Relatively speaking, Canada is in good shape. Our debt to GDP is good. Our fiscal situation is good, relatively speaking.” Watch the video story at durhamregion.com SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Federal Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty purchased shoes from Andrew Shoes March1 as part of a pre- budget tradition. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 3, 20103 Citizenship and Immigration Canada Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada Learn English.

(1 Light south of 401) 905.686.1008 AYA KITCHEN GALLERY AP CRIME Young Pickering driver who killed two faces jail Defence argues custody ‘a step back’ for youth BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A tearful teen has told a judge that a sim- ple dispute rapidly spun out of control, leading to the deaths of two young men near an Ajax park a year ago. “It happened really fast,” the 18-year-old said in a quavering voice as he stood in an Oshawa court- room Monday morning. “If I could take it back, I would.” The Crown is seeking a jail term for the boy, who was 17 when he drove a car into two Toronto teens, aged 15 and 17, in the midst of a melee involv- ing about 20 youths gath- ered at Ajax’s Hermitage Park Feb. 27, 2009. The Pickering youth, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty in early January to charges includ- ing two counts of criminal negligence causing death. During Monday’s sen- tencing hearing, defence lawyer Kathryn Wells urged Ontario Court Jus- tice Peter De Freitas not to impose more jail time on the youth, who spent more than 60 days in cus- tody following his arrest last February. She said the boy’s chances at rehabili- tation would be enhanced if he were to serve time in open custody, living out- side an institution yet sub- ject to controls and court orders. “Even where the court is dealing with loss of life, acknowledgement of harm done can be dealt with in a non-custodial sentence,” Ms. Well said. The boy has gained insight on his actions and taken steps to improve himself since the fatal con- frontation in Ajax, Ms. Well said, telling the judge a return to custody would be “a step back” for the youth. Prosecutor Ken Pol- ley called for a sentence of three years -- one year in jail, one year in open custody and a third year of community supervi- sion -- the maximum term allowed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. “The only thing that would be sufficient to hold him accountable would be the maximum youth sen- tence,” Mr. Polley said. “We have two people who have lost their lives. (The youth) is solely responsi- ble for their deaths.” At the time of the youth’s plea Justice De Freitas heard he went to Ajax to confront a rival with whom he’d had a previous alter- cation; both boys were backed by several support- ers anticipating a fight. The youth and his rival verbally settled their beef but a brawl erupted among the other youths, during which a friend of the youth was stabbed. The youth got into a Sat- urn Ion and left the scene but soon came speeding back, Mr. Polley said. The Saturn mounted a curb and snowbank before slamming into the Toronto teens, sending them flying for metres. Both teens died of head injuries. Justice De Freitas will sentence the youth April 8. It happened really fast. If I could take it back, I would.” 18-year-old charged in two deaths. New blog to appeal to animal lovers in us all BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com We worry about them when we’re at work or on vacation. We ensure small objects and possible choking hazards are safely hidden when they’re small. We buy them the best food possible, no matter how expensive it is. We celebrate their firsts, their birthdays and we spoil them rotten with the latest toys and outfits. No, I’m not referring to children. I’m talk- ing about our dear friends we call pets. And we pet owners love to talk about our furry friends, much like parents enjoy brag- ging about their children. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to listen to us. But I can say from the perspective of an owner of two cats and many other animals in the past, that I not only like to gab about my faithful feline friends, but I enjoy listening to the adventures of others as well. People at various animal shelters and orga- nizations have asked if we could feature animals up for adoption in the paper since there are many orphaned animals in Dur- ham, and the numbers never decrease. After some thinking, one thing led to another and I’ve decided to set up a blog dedicated to all types of pets called Kristen’s Kritters. It’s meant to not only showcase the ani- mals in Durham that need homes, but to provide an outlet for animal lovers to come together and share stories, advice, and pho- tos surrounding the world of pets. If you want to tell the story of how Rover stole the apple pie that was about to be served at your latest dinner party, or how Smoky the cat proudly comes home with poor prey catches every week, I’m all ears and would love to post your stories on my blog. Readers are encouraged to share the sto- ries of how they rescued or met their pet for the ‘Happy Tails’ section, and can look out for ‘That’s Funny,’ which will feature humor- ous photos and videos of cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and other animals people consider pets. On a serious note, the blog will focus on pet responsibility and recent issues in the world of animals. Readers can also submit questions for the ‘Readers Advice’ section. I will also post obituaries of those we’ve loved and lost. Any pet owner can sympathize with someone who’s lost a pet, and this section will honour their memories. The blog will also have a question of the week. Look out for the first question this Thursday: ‘What’s your pet’s naughtiest habit or characteristic?’ Animals are loyal, funny, quirky, and offer a friendly, familiar face when we come home at the end of the day. Why not have an outlet to read and share stories about them? Feel free to e-mail me if you have any ideas you’d like me to consider blogging about, want to tell me about your animal charity’s next fundraiser, have a hilarious photo or video you’d like to share, want to submit an obit, or simply feel your pet is worthy of fame in the blog world. Or visit Kristen’s Kritters to get a dose of ridiculous cuteness or to com- ment on the blogs and photos that have been posted.

While the two dead men didn’t know each other, both came to be targeted by a roving band of thugs who armed themselves with shotguns with the inten- tion of robbing drug dealers, according to a statement of facts read into the record in Superior Court Friday in Oshawa. Another man, whose identity is protected by a court order, faces murder and aggravated assault charges in connection with the shootings. The short, slightly-built Mr. Campbell said little dur- ing his court appearance Friday, confirming in a soft voice his pleas to the charges and his agreement with the facts read into the record. Although Mr. Campbell was originally charged with first-degree murder in Mr. Ottley’s death, the Crown accepted a plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Mr. Campbell appears to have been a peripheral player in the killing of Mr. Ottley, who was lured to his death by a man who felt he had been disrespected by the 23-year-old Pickering resident, said prosecutor Julie Anne Barrett. “However, he did participate in actions that led to Mr. Ottley’s death, making him guilty of the offence of manslaughter,” Ms. Barrett told Justice Edwin Mind- en. Mr. Campbell has confessed to being among a group of four men who were in Pickering with the intention of robbing drug dealers the night Khristian Ottley died. The Crown alleges another person in the group called Mr. Ottley and arranged a meeting by the side of Val- ley Farm Road on the night of Jan. 14, 2008, Ms. Barrett said. When Mr. Ottley arrived that suspect and anoth- er man, both concealing shotguns, got into the back seat of Mr. Ottley’s Toyota Corolla. One of the men fired a shot through the driver’s seat into Mr. Ottley’s back, killing him. Mr. Campbell was also along for the ride on the night of Jan. 26, 2008 when a crew of three young men went to the basement apartment of 19-year-old Jef- frey Warne, intent on stealing what they thought was a cache of drugs including two kilos of cocaine and 15 pounds of marijuana. After shooting Mr. Warne, they fled with $1,000 in cash. P olice eventually caught up with the suspects after a traffic stop in Peel Region during which shotgun shells were seized, Ms. Barrett said. A search warrant at Mr. Camp- bell’s residence uncovered more shells with compo- nents similar to the ammunition used in the slaying of Mr. Warne. Mr. Campbell was arrested in January of 2009 and admitted his role in the killings, court heard. Another man, who had been arrested earlier in Mr. Ottley’s murder, was eventually charged with the kill- ing of Mr. Warne as well. The second suspect has yet to go to trial. Friday Justice Minden heard emotional victim impact statements from parents and relatives of the victims. “The horrific and cold murder of my son will haunt me for the rest of my natural life,”Trevor Ottley said. Mr. Campbell faces a life sentence for second-degree murder, the most serious charge to which he pleaded. Justice Minden will sentence himMarch 30. Editor’s Note: A court-ordered ban places strict limits on the publication of this information. Justice Minden issued the publication ban Friday to protect the rights of the co-accused in this case to a fair trial. After hearing a submission from the Metroland Dur- ham Region Media group, Justice Minden stipulated the following limitations: • one article may appear in print in the Ajax & Pickering News Advertiser during the week of March 1 to 5; • one article may be posted on durhamregion.com Feb. 27 and is to be removed from the website and any archives no later than March 2, 2010.

On Sept. 2, 2009 Reka Szekely wrote a wonderful article titled, ‘Wanted: a few keen cadets.’ Reka, NLCC Exeter Navy League Cadets and RCSCC Harwood Sea Cadets have benefited from the article you wrote. To date, there are approximately 90 new cadets since September between both programs. Your article was able to reach out to the community and inform parents and youth between the ages of nine and 18 about the benefits and opportunities avail- able to cadets. Being a cadet fosters leader- ship skills, encourages self-esteem, builds teamwork and creates solid friendships that can last a lifetime. Many cadets learn to play a musical instrument, or participate on a competitive team. We have received positive feedback from your article, comments such as “we didn’t know there is a cadet program available for youth under 12, that’s fantastic.” We invite you to check out Durham’s best kept secret. Are you ready for the adven- ture? To read the wonderful article that Reka Szekely wrote you can go to www. newsdurhamregion.com/news/ajax/arti- cle/134415. Navy League is for boys and girls ages nine to 12 and Sea Cadets are for boys and girls ages 12 to 18. We are at 48 Exeter Rd. in Ajax. For more information, call 905- 427-0482. Michele Hovey Recruiting Chair Ajax Pickering Navy League Branch ECONOMY Too bad federal politicians didn’t attend pension forum To the editor: I attended a public forum on pensions Feb. 16 and was very disappointed to see that not one single MP from Durham Region bothered to attend. I guess consulting with 250 of their con- stituents wasn’t a priority. Too bad, because if they had attended they would have heard ordinary people telling real stories about real struggles in retirement. They would have heard from young peo- ple who have lost their jobs, their pensions and their hope for retiring with security. For those of us who were there, Sylvain Schetagne, senior economist from the Canadian Labour Congress, gave a very informative presentation on the CLC’s ‘Retirement Security for Everyone’ cam- paign. This campaign proposes three reforms to the public pension system. The CLC plan calls for a doubling of the CPP with increased contributions to be phased in over seven years. The plan also proposes an increase of 15 per cent to the Guaranteed Income Sup- plement and Old Age Security govern- ment programs. The third reform would be the creation of a national insurance fund to ensure people’s pensions aren’t at risk if compa- nies go bankrupt. The forum was very educational and it’s too bad our MPs didn’t attend. Jim Freeman Oshawa POLITICS Regional chairman’s position should be elected To the editor: Re: ‘To elect or appoint Durham chair- man, that is the question’, Feb. 12. I have felt for a number of recent years that the position should be an elected posi- tion, rather than appointed by “an old boys club”, sitting around a table in the back room, looking out for one another. It’s about time we (Durham Region) modernize. R.W. Rogers Whitby Oh the glory. Oh Canada. As the 21st Olympic Winter Games closed in Vancouver Sunday, Canadians from coast to coast shared in the triumph of our athletes who did us proud on the podium. Who will ever forget the excitement and excellence of Vancouver 2010? As the host country to the Games, it was fitting that Canada itself went down in the his- tory books for the most gold medals ever won at the Winter Games, with 14 shiny reminders that Canadian athletes excel at their sports. Hockey is our game, eh? When the men’s team capped off the Games and followed the women’s hockey team to gold medal status, it was the icing on the cake. From snowboarding to figure skating to curling to mogul skiing, our athletes were on the podium and we proudly watched as they basked in the limelight, the pinnacle of success that is any athlete’s dream: Olym- pic champions. Olympic competitions hold many sto- ries showcasing the triumph of the human spirit. Who could forget Montreal’s Joan- nie Rochette skating her way to bronze just days after her mother died? To put her grief behind her, to get out on the ice and do her best despite her loss, was the epitome of bravery. On the short track speed skating oval, Marianne St-Gelais’s reaction to her boy- friend Charles Hamel’s gold medal win in the 500-metre race was as exciting as the race itself. Here at home, Pickering’s Shelley-Ann Brown showed her talent with a silver medal performance in the two-woman bobsleigh with driver Helen Upperton. Enniskillen’s Matt Morison may have bowed out just before the quarter finals of the snowboard giant slalom event, but he left a lasting impression on the hundreds of students who gathered at his former school to watch and cheer him on last Sat- urday. Over and over, Canadians showed that kind of tenacity as they took to the moun- tains and rinks and the sliding centre to compete in their events. And while earning a place at the podium was certainly the big thrill, just to quali- fy for the Games, to be there, to be part of the Canadian contingent showcasing ath- leticism and patriotism was an achieve- ment in itself. From the opening ceremonies to the bit- tersweet farewell to Vancouver, athletes from around the world and from right here at home held us captivated as we watched their disappointments and tri- umphs, their joys and sorrows, their shin- ing moments. Vancouver 2010. Those golden memo- ries will live forever in the hearts of Can- ada’s Olympians. Bravo. Athletes share joys and sorrows at Vancouver Olympics durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 3, 20107 PAre you planning a vacation getaway this year? KAYLA LEPAGE -- ‘Yes, I’m going to Cuba for a week with some friends in August.’ TOM MANTZIARIS -- ‘Yes, we’re going to Cuba for two weeks at the end of April.’ NICHOLAS MARTIN -- ‘Yes, I’m going to Barbados with my family in December.’ JUSTIN REYES -- ‘No, I haven’t made any travel plans yet .’ WE ASKED Over these past couple of weeks I have had the remarkable opportunity to watch my 19-year-old niece, Vanessa, skate at the Olympics. The experience was more than exciting. It was profound. Vanessa and her partner Paul are figure skaters. Ice dancers, to be precise. And I watched every one of their performanc- es, glued to the screen. It was, as I say, remarkable. It’s all the more remarkable given that I hate figure skating. I really do. I hate the goofy, emasculating outfits. I hate the ridiculous politics involved and I hate an unfathomably arcane and subjec- tive scoring system. But I loved Vanessa and Paul. I loved them because they, in their first Olympics, without the burden of podium expecta- tions or the hopes of a nation riding on their sculpted shoulders, were able to sim- ply enjoy themselves. As such, they skat- ed relaxedly, beautifully, even joyfully and became, for me, the embodiment of the Olympics. As much as I hate figure skating, I should mention that I love the Olympics. For all of the attendant medal grabbing, steroid injecting, product endorsing crud that sometimes sticks to them, the Olympics are still, at their centre, the heart of every- thing positive about competition and sport and international brotherhood. I really believe that. The vast bulk of the competitors there, especially in the Winter Olympics, will never have anything approaching finan- cial freedom as a result of their efforts. Contrary to popular grousing, it’s not about the money. When is the last time you saw a cross-country skier on the front of a Wheaties box? No, the Games are about something far more valuable than mere mammon. If you watch the Olympics faithfully and carefully you will see far more than just awe-inspir- ing athleticism and records dropping like icicles from eavestroughs. You will see the very heights of the human spirit; on and off the fields of competition. This is why, in spite of all the naysayers and protesters and medal counters, the Olympics con- tinue to be the global epicentre of posi- tive vibes. For a couple of weeks every two years, the world gets to have a bit of a group hug. I can’t help but like that. And I can’t help but want to be a closer part of that. Which is another one of the wonderful gifts of watching my lovely niece. I remem- ber very well, as an 18-year-old wrestler, aspiring to one day compete at the Olym- pic level. That goal always outshone any other dreams of professional sport glory for me. Like most high school athletes I had envisioned, fleetingly, a career in the pros, whether football, rugby or hockey. But the Olympics were something else entirely. To be an Olympian was to be the very best, the very purest, the most honorable of competitors. I never made it. Never even came close, frankly. But I have to tell you when I watched Vanessa, when I gazed, spellbound, as she and Paul danced so fluidly and gracefully around the rink, every time they passed the logo of those five legendary rings on the boards I felt a vicarious thrill run up and down my spine. For those three or four magical minutes, I was as close to the Olympics as I will ever be. Thanks for that, Nessy. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Olympics let us see the heights of the human spirit NEIL CRONE This photo was taken dur- ing the opening ceremonies at the 35th annual Heri- tage Hockey Tournament held at the General Motors Centre Feb. 5. The open- ing game was between the Oshawa OCHL Hawks and the Cobourg Cougars with former NHLers Rob Pearson and Dale Craigwell dropping the ceremonial puck. Here, Pearson was taking the time to interact with the players and sign autographs, includ- ing a player’s hockey stick, even during the opening speeches. Sabrina Byrnes is a photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group Country, newsroom brought together There is now a huge void in the lives of us in the newsroom. For the past two weeks, every day at noon, someone would walk to the TV and change the channel to get the Olympics on. Invariably it was curling, but it didn’t matter. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon than watching Cher- yl Bernard or gold-medal winner Kevin Smith plow through the opposition. But it didn’t matter what sport it was, we were watching the Olympics -- together. And during the Olympics, we are all experts in the sports we watch. We all reacted when a Canadian snowboarder hit a bump, leading to a loss in time on the course. “How could he miss that jump?!” When Clara Hughes won bronze in her final Olympic race, a large cheer went up from those of us who stayed a little late to watch the race. I’m an Olympic junkie. I love everything to do with the world’s larg- est sporting event, even with all the poli- tics behind the scenes. Up until this year, the Summer Games were my favourite but there was something special about these Winter Games in Vancouver. The snowboard cross event quickly became a favourite in the newsroom as did any type of short-track speed skating. And the athletes became familiar names. We already knew what Sydney Crosby looked like but within days into the Games we recognized Charles Hamelin, Alex- andre Bilodeau and Ashleigh McIvor. All won gold medals and became household names.Days from now we will still remem- ber Crosby’s golden goal in overtime but I wonder if Hamelin and the others will be names we can recall, or will it just be the memories of what they accomplished? The Games showed Canada can pro- duce a sporting event unmatched by any other country. And for two weeks we sat and watched, enthralled by the athletes and their accomplishments. But now the malaise sets in. The Games are over and so are the moments when we all came together around a TV set to cheer fellow Canadians to victory. And for many hockey fans, we are now faced with the fact we have to go back to watching the NHL style of game. Hurry up, 2014.

In the early 1970s the federal govern- ment expropriated north Pickering land for an airport, but to this day, a final deci- sion hasn’t been made. Pickering council has stood opposed to the possibility over the years. In October, council voted that the City take the proper steps to put on the munic- ipal election ballot the question, “Do you support the City of Pickering’s position to oppose construction and operation of an airport in the City of Pickering? Yes or No?” A public meeting took place Feb. 19 and no one from the public spoke against it, although a notice of the meeting was made public, said City clerk Debbie Shields. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son said the question is ambiguous and unclear and should be changed. “The majority that I’ve asked, it’s not clear to them,” he said. “It’s a double-neg- ative in there. I don’t believe it’s clear and concise.” Ms. Shields explained the wording is necessary since the matter is not a munic- ipal one, but a federal one. The question cannot ask if residents are for or against an airport, but it can ask if they support council’s opposition. “It has to be worded that way in order to keep it within our jurisdiction,” she said. Peter Rodrigues, resident and member of Land Over Landings, a group opposed to the airport and in support of farm- ing the land instead, feels the question is unnecessary. “It’s a good question if you ask me,” he said. “I can see some merits for it but by and large I think it’s a waste of time because it’s kind of obvious when you talk to people that most people don’t want an airport.” Also, he feels while many oppose the air- port, some, and especially new residents, are not aware of all of the factors and the history, and may not be informed enough to give a proper opinion. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who represent the area on which the air- port would go if it were ever approved, didn’t support the referendum question. “I do not want to clutter up the ballot with questions that are not debatable at all-candidates’ meetings,” Coun. Johnson said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said the question on the ballot is simply to support council’s longtime opposition to the airport. Plus, it should have more clout with upper levels of government, he said, showing “this is the will of the peo- ple.” Council passed the bylaw to put the question on the ballot as is, and the pub- lic appeal period will go until March 23. “Once that passes if there is no appeal, it will go on the ballot,” Ms. Shields said. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 3, 201011 P MUNICIPAL ELECTION Voters may have say on Pickering airport I do not want to clutter up the ballot with questions that are not debatable at all-candidates’ meetings.

On both accounts, they came out accomplishing what they set out to do. Facing a stiff test from the J. Clarke Richardson Storm in the champi- onship game, the Trojans convert- ed a strong second half into an 83- 74 victory, and with it, an automat- ic entry into the OFSAA provincial championships in Oshawa from March 8-10. “The biggest thing for us was direct entry into OFSAA,” said coach Mike Gordensky following Thursday’s victory at the Campus Wellness and Recreation Centre in Oshawa. “Now we can rest easy ... It was all about getting the automatic berth into OFSAA. “There’s pride on the line (as well). These kids all know each other. They’re all friends and they want bragging rights.” Pickering rarely trailed in the game, and actually looked to be on their way to a blowout win in the fourth quarter, up by 19 with less than six minutes to go in the game. But J. Clarke chipped away, narrowing the margin to four with just 39 seconds to go. But a layup and another basket off a turnover put the game out of reach, giving Pickering its fifth LOSSA champi- onship in a row at the senior level. J. Clarke coach Mike McFetters pointed to his team’s inability to sink free throws as the main con- tributor to the loss. At one point in the third quarter they missed eight in a row, and all told, McFetters thought his team missed 18. That, and some calls that didn’t go their way was the difference. “It’s frustrating because you have a chance to win against the team that has won a lot and we didn’t do something, shoot free throws, that we’ve done very well this year. “(The players) were very frustrat- ed with the officiating. I can relate to a lot of their frustration. With all that said, you leave 18 points, what we call free money, and leave it on the board. Hopefully we’ll remem- ber that and regroup.” Aaron Redpath finished as the game’s top scorer with 30 points, while Mikyle McIntosh had 20 to lead Pickering. With LOSSA granted two teams into OFSAA, all was not lost for J. Clarke, who faced Notre Dame on Monday in the play-in game, with the winner advancing to the pro- vincial championship. Notre Dame lost to Pickering in the semifinal. In the junior final that preced- ed the senior game, Pickering was dominant in winning their eighth straight LOSSA championship, crushing Pine Ridge 83-31. Don- nele Munda had 23 for Pickering, while Tevauthan Stewart had 21. Pickering is off to OFSAA BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX --- The J. Clarke Richardson Storm senior boys’ basketball team found itself in an identical spot to a year ago, although this time, they wanted to alter the outcome. Last year, after losing in the LOSSA final to Pickering, they fell back into the play-in game the next day against Notre Dame with advance- ment to the OFSAA championships at stake. They couldn’t shake the effects of the loss the night before, ultimately losing to Notre Dame. On Monday afternoon, facing the same scenario, they persevered, making a statement and play- ing with a determined effort that led to an easy 95-77 victory over Notre Dame, booking a ticket to the OFSAA provincial championships in Oshawa March 8-10. “I wouldn’t have liked to play the game Friday,” said J. Clarke coach Mike McFetters, adding that having the weekend to regroup following Thursday’s loss in the LOSSA final to Pickering certainly helped. J. Clarke looked very comfortable right from the opening tip-off. The only time they trailed the entire game was at 7-5, but they quickly turned that into a 20-10 lead with three minutes to go in the open- ing quarter and cruised from there. They led 26-15 after the first quar- ter, 53-37 at the half, and 71-54 through three quarters. J. Clarke led by as many as 21 at one point in the third quarter. Notre Dame whittled it down to 11, but that was as close as they would come. “It was just one of those days,” said Notre Dame coach Teran Richards, who loses just two players off his roster to graduation. “We just have to go back and fix a lot of things and get ready for next year.” Leon Alexander had 29 points for J. Clarke, while Aaron Redpath chipped in 25. Russell Logman led Notre Dame with 21. McFetters used the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team gold medal performance as motivation for his team, pointing out Canada lost in the round robin to the Unit- ed States, but ultimately came back to achieve their goal. In this case, with J. Clarke losing in the LOSSA final, they still had a chance to get to OFSAA. “I told the guys this is a game you are capable of winning handily if you play your game,” he said. “Do the work on every possession and we should come out ahead. Then we can refocus and try and do our best at OFSAA.” Seedings and the opening round draw for OFSAA is expected to be released Wednesday night. HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ...and J.

The key to the success to date, according to Dion, has been team depth. With a good mix of new faces along with the 10 returnees from last year’s cham- pionship winning team, things have been good for the favoured Monarchs. “There is a lot of consistency from one group of guys to the next,” he said, noting contribu- tions from the likes of captain Richard Abbott, Drake Cag- giula, Corey Helliwell and Jor- dan Bean among others have been important. “We just seem to get consistent efforts all the way through, which is leading to good results.” Good results that he hopes continue starting today, though as of our deadline, St. Mary wasn’t even sure of who they would be hosting. The Uxbridge Tigers and Paul Dwyer Saints of Oshawa were to play the decisive Game 3 of their semifinal yester- day, with the winner to face St. Mary. Either way, regardless of which team they face, Dion knows that despite the Monarchs’ unblem- ished record, Uxbridge or Paul Dwyer will put their best game forward in hopes of earning that trip to OFSAA, which will be held March 23-26 in St. Catharines. “I think both teams could give a consistent effort and both could beat us any given day,” Dion admits. Heading into the short series, as good as Dion feels about his club, he’s not about to anoint them flawless. One area he wants to see improved is the club’s penchant for taking penalties. “In terms of things we need to work on, we still need to improve our discipline,” he notes. “Penal- ties seem to be a bit of a prob- lem. The penalty kill has been good, but there has still been a few too many selfish penalties.” St. Mary will take to the road Friday for Game 2, with a poten- tial Game 3 slated for next Mon- day, 1:30 p.m. at Don Beer.

Losses of 9-2 to the Barrie Colts Friday and 7-4 to the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors Sunday were the 12th and 13th of the past 14 games for the Generals, who are now on the verge of missing the Ontario Hock- ey League playoffs for the second straight year, and fourth time in the past six. The Generals (22-35-3- 2) are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, two points back of both the Niagara IceDogs (22-33-2- 5) and Sudbury Wolves (23- 33-2-3), with the Wolves owning a game in hand on both. The competition gets a little easier from here, as all six remaining games for the Generals come against East Division foes, including a pair against the equally reeling Peterborough Petes. It was anything but easy on the weekend, especially against the Colts, the Cana- dian Hockey League’s No. 1-ranked team. “After the first period we were pretty tight with them, then like a race car they went from second to fifth pretty quickly in the second period against us,” said Chris DePiero, Osha- wa’s head coach and gen- eral manager. “When you can throw out 11 19-year- olds like they can, and two guys 20-years-old who have 85 goals between them in (Luke) Pither and (Bryan) Cameron, they can turn it on when they want to.” In Mississauga for a noon start Sunday, the Gener- als trailed only 4-3 through two periods, but the Majors scored on a power play 8:58 into the third and built the lead to 7-3 before Alain Berger closed out the scor- ing on a late power play, his first goal since returning from a broken ankle. “I thought the guys played hard yesterday,” DePie- ro said by phone Monday. “I can’t find fault with the effort they put forth.” The Generals have strug- gled mightily since all- star defenceman Calvin de Haan went down with a season-ending shoulder injury Jan. 24, both offen- sively and defensively. In 15 games since he was shut down, the Generals have been outscored 84-40 while winning only twice. The Generals are in Kings- ton Friday and then host the Frontenacs Saturday at 7:05 p.m. before playing their final home game of the regular season Sunday against the Peterborough Petes at 6:05 p.m. The inju- ry-plagued Petes have lost nine in a row. The Generals close out the season with games in Belleville March 10, Ottawa March 12 and Peterborough March 13. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals’ forward Andy Andreoff, of Pickering, charged down the ice to the Barrie Colts zone with Dalton Prout on his tail during OHL action at the General Motors Centre on Friday.

Students should try to study when they are the most alert and able to process and retain the information that they are studying. • Have a designated study area—wheth- er it is the kitchen table or a desk in a bedroom, students should have an area to study that is a designated study zone. Study supplies, notebooks, and reference materials should all be kept close at hand in order prevent distractions. • Eat properly—students can’t focus on studying if their stomachs are growling. Students should have a light, healthy snack to quiet stomach rumbles and to achieve optimal brain function during study time. • Get chores out of the way—The dog needs to be walked and the dishes need to be washed... but students should be careful to not use chores as a reason to procrastinate. Avoid the interrup- tions and distractions of an unﬁ nished to-do list in order to focus on the task at hand: studying. www.newscanada.com FIRST MONTESSORI SCHOOL IN PICKERING “Knowledge with Understanding” ~ Infants to 14 years.
