Triumphant return for Pickering medallist SHELLEY-ANN BROWN ARRIVES A WEEK AFTER WINNING SILVER BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- A week after the games in Van- couver ended, a group of Pickering residents still have Olympic fever. Family and friends of bobsleigh silver medalist Shelley-Ann Brown were at Pearson Airport on Sunday night to welcome home their champion. “Shelley, Shelley, Shelley,” a crowd of her biggest fans chanted as the silver medalist came through the door at the arrivals gate. They held signs, waved flags and attracted a throng of onlookers as the Olympian was welcomed home. “I don’t think that I can put it into words, it was so amazing, it was such an incredible experience, not just winning silver, but just being there in that atmosphere and the entire crowd was incredible, the energy was amazing and it was such a great time to be Canadian,” a beaming Ms. Brown said, after hugging her supporters and wiping tears from her eyes. “It really was.” Ms. Brown, a brakeman with Canada 2 on the two-woman bobsleigh team, paired up with See HERO’S page 2 Wednesday, March 10, 2010 moc.adnohgnirekcip.www 575 KINGSTON RD 905-831-5400 MULTIPOINT Factory-trained Honda technicians will perform an oil change, tire rotation, inspect your battery, brakes, tires, all ﬂ uid levels, suspension components, lights, wiper blades and much more.

The gold medal went to the Canada 1 duo of driver Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse. Entering the night in fourth place after two heats, Ms. Brown and Ms. Upperton moved into third after their opening run, posting a time of 53.34. A 53.17 clocking in their fourth and final run of the competition moved them into second with a combined time of 3:33.13 through four runs, just behind the 3:32.28 posted by the Humphries sled. Right before Ms. Brown and Ms. Upperton’s last heat, a member of one of the Ger- man bobsleigh teams was eject- ed from her sled. It was a tense time for Ms. Brown’s family, who were at the event in Van- couver. “It was very nerve-wracking and we were all very frightened for the girl that fell out right before she went,” mom Lena Brown said. “We did the best thing we knew how to do: we held hands and prayed.” Before Ms. Brown arrived, her dad was anx- ious to see his daughter again. “I thought it would kind of die down after awhile, but now that she’s coming home, I even feel better,” Clifton Brown said before he snuck back behind the arrivals gate to help his daughter with her luggage. Ms. Brown said it meant everything to her to have her family there watching at the games. “Those are the faces in the crowd that you want to see when you have moments of joy cause they’ve seen you, they’ve seen you when you are crying, so it’s good to have them there when you are crying tears of joy,” she said. The Olympic star has spent the past week resting and doing some media interviews in Vancouver. Among Ms. Brown’s fans were the Morrisons, who have been the Brown’s neighbours for years. Shelley-Ann and the Morrison’s daugh- ter Leanne Schumacher grew up together, and attended the same schools since sixth grade. The pair jumped up and down when they embraced at Terminal One. “It was just so exciting,” Ms. Schumacher said about watching her friend compete on television. Doug Morrison said his family watched her compete from their living room in Pickering. When it was clear she was going to be on the podium, Mr. Morrison could not contain his excitement, he said. “I did my happy dance,” he said laughing. “She’s the nicest girl and very multi-talent- ed,” Bev Morrison said. “I don’t think this will change her at all.” Ms. Brown was not sure what awaits her now that she is back in Ontario. “I don’t know, I think we’re just going to probably go home and we’ll probably have a get together at some point in time,” she said. “Just celebrate the way we do.” WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com OLYMPICS Hero’s welcome home for Pickering silver medallist HERO’S from page 1 SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND TORONTO -- Pickering Olympian Shelley-Ann Brown, above, shows her silver medal after her arrival at Pearson International Airport March 7.

The executive committee approved the 3.9-per cent increase -- which would have been 2.9 per cent had it not been for $420,000 anticipated in legal fees -- at the March 4 day- long budget meeting. Council in the fall agreed to launch the bat- tle against York when it felt the City and resi- dents were not properly consulted when York Region decided to put an odour control facil- ity close to the Cherrywood West subdivision to accommodate its expansion, contradicto- ry to the memorandum of understand they signed. Although York later moved the sta- tion to just west of the York-Durham Town- line, it was done without consulting Pickering or residents. Chief administrative officer Tom Quinn said the City has already spent $230,000 in legal fees, and although staff members planned to used 2009 money, they had to dip into the 2010 budget to avoid running into the red. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said although the legal fees have to be cov- ered since council chose to sue, it boils down to council signing the memo of understand- ing in 2005. “(Council at the time) should have voted to be an unwilling host in 2005,” she said. Councillors debated lawsuits the City has won and suits it had lost, but the committee approved that extra one per cent, as part of its $71-million current budget. City treasurer Gil Paterson explained the property tax increase of 3.9 per cent repre- sents an extra $39.42 on the local portion of the bill for an average Pickering home val- ued at $340,750. Similarly, a home valued at 239,000 would pay an extra $26.94, and a con- dominium valued at $195,000 would pay an extra $22. The local portion represents 27 per cent of property taxes, with the rest going to the Region of Durham and to the Province for education. “I think we have struck a good balance on providing services and doing works such as improving roads and parks to Pickering resi- dents with an average household tax increase of about $40 per year,” Ward 3 City Councillor Dave Pickles said after the meeting. Three grants of $1,000 each were approved in the current budget, and the recipients include: The Arms of Jesus Children’s Mis- sion Inc., which will go toward aid relief in Haiti; MOTION’s Youth and Community Centre; and Pickering Olympic silver medal- ist Shelley-Ann Brown. Council had consid- ered creating a grants program for all Olym- pic athletes, but Mr. Paterson said staff is considering one and it should come to council early next year. The capital budget totaled $21.1 mil- lion. The most expensive road work will be $900,000 on Glenanna Road for resurfacing from Pickering Parkway to Dixie Road. Small- er projects will include $225,000 for the recon- struction of Charlotte Circle and $130,000 on William Street resurfacing in the north. The committee approved Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Doug Dickerson’s motion for additional work on Liverpool Road South, which would have otherwise been deferred to 2011. To allow that, the committee deferred work on Bronwen Lane to 2011, and spread work on Gablehurst Crescent to be done over 2010 and 2011, instead of it all taking place this year. Coun. Dickerson also kept a fee from being introduced on City pick-up and delivery of items such as picnic tables, garbage cans and barricades for picnics, barbecues, school events and street parties. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson suggested seeking out advertising for recy- cling bins to cover some of the costs to pur- chase them, which are set as $15,000 in the budget. Four councillors reduced their office bud- gets. Coun. Littley reduced her budget by $11,600, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean brought his down by $11,000, Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell found $3,900 to take out, and Coun. Pickles cut $7,550 out of his. Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out no new staff members will be hired in 2010 and called the budget responsible. Mr. Paterson was happy with the bud- get, noting the City didn’t have to draw from reserves this year. “I think it was a very good budget in that the increase was as low as the City could get it and still maintain current lev- els of service,” he said.

Landlord describes Danny Nguyen as ‘perfect’ tenant BY CHRIS HALL chall@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- Two days before a man was fatally shot in her basement last week, Joce- lyn Kinloch had an eerie feeling that a shoot- ing was going to turn her life upside down. Last Thursday afternoon, her premoni- tion became reality when a Toronto man was found dead in Ms. Kinloch’s basement, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. “I thought it was going to be me, I thought I was the one going to be shot,” Ms. Kinloch recalled on Tuesday morning. It’s been a whirlwind few days for the owner of Ive’s Florist, who turned up at her Scugog Street home around 6 p.m. on March 4 to find heavily-armed police officers roaming about. Joining the large crowd of onlookers that gathered in the area, near the Simcoe Street intersection, she learned from a passerby the gossip that was quickly spreading. “I was asking around about what happened. And then someone told me that someone’s been murdered in the home with the blue porch,” said Ms. Kinloch. “That’s when I felt my knees buckling and I just went into a fog,” she said. Durham police later confirmed that Andrew Lee Shue, 43, of Morningside Avenue in Toronto, was felled by gunfire in the Scu- gog Street basement. A second man, 35, also injured by gunfire, was airlifted to a Toron- to trauma centre during the early evening hours of March 4. He was later treated and released. On March 5, authorities announced they had issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Port Perry’s Danny Nguyen, 27, in connec- tion with Mr. Shue’s murder. Mr. Nguyen and his wife were tenants in Ms. Kinloch’s base- ment apartment. After a weekend-long manhunt for Mr. Nguyen, he walked into an Oshawa police sta- tion on Monday and surrendered to authori- ties. He faces charges of second-degree mur- der, aggravated assault and possession of weapons dangerous. Mr. Nguyen made a brief video appear- ance on Tuesday morning in Oshawa. He was ordered to remain in custody and will make another court appearance on March 18. “We had a perfect relationship,” Ms. Kinloch said of her 13-month partnership with Mr. Nguy- en and his wife. “They just didn’t give me any grief, they were great.” When dealing with the couple, Ms. Kinloch said most of her conversations were with Mr. Nguyen’s wife. Ms. Kinloch stressed that the pair were very quiet -- she worked long hours at a day job, he worked odd hours as a profes- sional gambler -- but gave her no reason for concern. “They lived a quiet life downstairs. There was no partying, nothing like that. They worked all week and spent the weekend with family,” said Ms. Kinloch, stressing the inci- dent was not drug-related. There is very little notable about Mr. Nguy- en, continued Ms. Kinloch. “He was a jokester, he had a sense of humour,” Ms. Kinloch said when asked to describe Mr. Nguyen. “He liked to joke around, he had some nice things about him but I didn’t know him well at all.” Mr. Nguyen’s wife, she added, “was an awfully nice girl.” Nearly a week after the fatal shooting, Ms. Kinloch initially thought it would be best to not speak about the incident, feeling that everyone has their own challenges to face. However, the “overwhelming support (the Scugog) community has shown me over the past week” prompted Ms. Kinloch to share her thoughts. “When (the shooting occurred), I was as surprised and shocked as every sin- gle person in this community was,” she said. WATCH the video story READ related stories @ durhamregion.com BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A Port Perry man charged in a fatal shoot- ing remains in custody following a brief court appear- ance Tuesday. Danny Nguyen, 27, said little during a video appear- ance in Oshawa bail court. Justice of the peace Rob- ert Boychyn ordered him detained until his next video appearance March 18. Mr. Nguyen is charged with the second-degree mur- der of Andrew Lee Shue, 43, of Toronto, who was shot to death March 4 in the basement of a home on Scu- gog Street in Port Perry. Mr. Nguyen is charged with aggravated assault in the shooting of a second man who survived, and also faces weapons charges. During Tuesday’s appearance, Mr. Nguyen was represented by duty counsel. In addition to being detained on the murder charge, he was also ordered to have no contact with the 35-year-old shooting vic- tim, who escaped the Scugog Street residence after shots were fired at about 4:30 p.m. last Thursday. That man has been released from hospital. All of the men involved were acquainted and the shooting was not a random act, police said. Mr. Nguyen, of Scugog Street, was identified as a suspect in the shootings soon after they occurred. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest and he surrendered to Durham police Monday. Tuesday morning, Mr. Nguyen appeared by video from the holding cells at the police station in Oshawa, reciting his name and date of birth when asked by the JP. Court heard that in the event Mr. Nguyen seeks a bail hearing, it would be heard by a Superior Court judge. Several people attended the brief hearing, some of them weeping. They left without commenting.

Three suspects remain at large following the incident, at a home on Memory Lane in the vicinity of Finch Avenue and Liverpool Road, Durham police said. Police said five males, one armed with a handgun, forced their way into the home at about 10 p.m., ordering occupants to lie on the floor and demanding cash and drugs. One victim was assaulted during the rob- bery, police said. Officers responding to an emergency call caught one suspect during a foot chase while another was detected hiding in bush- es during a sweep of the area by the police helicopter. Two Pickering males, aged 13 and 16, are charged with robbery, wearing a disguise with intent and weapons offences.

Three masked robbers, one armed with a handgun, entered the Harwood Conve- nience store on Harwood Avenue short- ly after 11 a.m., Durham Regional Police said. An employee was threatened with the gun and the robbers grabbed ciga- rettes and cash before running out of the store. The store employee was not physically injured. Police deployed the K-9 unit to track the suspects to a nearby home and three people were arrested by members of the West Division’s street level robbery unit, helped by tactical officers and members of the robbery unit. Police say a search warrant for the home yielded cash, a pellet gun and items related to the robbery. Johnathan Greaves, 18, of Blackburn Crescent in Ajax, a 17-year-old Ajax male and a 15-year-old Ajax male all face weapons and robbery charges as well as breaching recognizance or prohibition orders.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions UTILITIES Why am I paying a debt retirement charge on electricity bill? To the editor: At the bottom of the Editorial and Opin- ion page in a recent edition of the News Advertiser, Andrew Cieslik of Clarington stated that he did not understand why he was being charged GST on the ‘debt retire- ment charge’. This prompted me to look at our recent statement from Veridian. It showed a ‘debt retirement charge’ of $13.22. Here’s what I would really like to know: 1. How did this debt occur? 2. How long ago did it occur? 3. Approximately when will it be paid? 4. Why doesn’t the government pay for it? Jack Shea Ajax NATIONAL ANTHEM Singer’s spin on national anthem wasn’t appreciated To the editor: Is it just me or is there anyone else tired of hearing our national anthem twisted into some artistic ego trip? Nikki Yanofsky is a terrific young singer and she has a wonderful career ahead of her. To be selected to sing the national anthem at our Vancouver Winter Olym- pics was a great honour. Perhaps it was her youth or perhaps it was the fault of man- agers or organizers, but her rendition of O Canada was quite a disappointment. She showcased her vocal prowess at the expense of a moment when she was sup- posed to be representing all of us. There should be a level of respect required by the artists selected to represent us on the international stage. A performer or an event organizer has no right to rework the song. It is not open to their interpretation. The publicity of the moment should be enough of a thrill and a boost to a performer’s career with- out the need to hijack a country’s national anthem. If they wish to put their own spin on the song they can do so on their own album and take their chances on whether the consumers appreciate it. Mike Thompson Clarington Anthem makes some give up freedom of conscience To the editor: The Throne Speech promised a review of the national anthem to ensure a “gen- der neutral” tone. We should also return it to its original “religion neutral” tone by removing the offensive phrase, “God keep our land” and return to the original “O Canada -- glorious and free.” It was only as recently as 1980 that this religious reference appeared in a previous- ly neutral anthem. Religiously neutral for 113 years, we would merely be returning it to its historically neutral condition. Our constitution accords all citizens “freedom of conscience and religion” (Constitution Act, 1982, Sec 2a). Requiring that, I intone the name of a deity means that in singing the anthem I must sacrifice my freedom of conscience. John Manuel Oshawa POLITICS Now I understand prorogation To the editor: So, you were wondering why Prime Min- ister Stephen Harper decided to give him- self and our government a paid two-month vacation? How else could he sit in all the best seats for all the best Olympic events, model his stylish new Olympic wardrobe, hug the athletes, high-five the fans, hob-nob with The Great One and mug for the cameras at every opportunity? That’s our prime min- ister. Makes you really proud, eh? Derrick Huston, Oshawa There is something to be admired about the men and women who seek public office to serve their communities. They greet us with big handshakes and ready smiles. They open themselves to crit- icism both fair and unfair. They assume guardianship of our tax dollars, plan our neighbourhoods and pave our roads, often without acknowledgement. It’s rarely glamorous, and requires indi- viduals who are quick on their feet, knowl- edgeable about the issues, and who believe they can make a difference for the better of their constituents. In almost every case, these men and women do their best to serve, earnest in their beliefs and resolute in their princi- ples. In several communities around Durham Region, municipal councils have amongst their members brand new councillors who are closing out their rookie terms, now sea- soned by the rough and tumble of local politics, more confident in their roles and more knowledgeable about their commu- nities. There is Uxbridge Councillor Gordon Highet, first elected in 2006. Already a busy man with a successful real estate career, Mr. Highet is challenged in his attempts to bal- ance a commitment to Uxbridge constitu- ents and those of his family. He’s made a difference in these last four years in bring- ing a robust knowledge of real estate and land issues to his public role as a local councillor. In Oshawa there is councillor John Henry, who has approached his role with an open mind and a strong work ethic. Part of his success can be attributed to his willingness to learn on the job. In Ajax, Councillor Renrick Ashby faced a unique challenge as the successor to a long-serving and popular incumbent, Joe Dickson, now a Member of Provincial Par- liament. Coun. Ashby’s position is strength- ened by decades of volunteer service in the community. That knowledge is bolstered by his professional accreditation as a city planner in Toronto. His skill set serves both the Town and its constituents well. These people, along with others who are completing their first terms of office in municipalities around Durham Region, are making a difference. And local govern- ments across Durham Region need more of them. In the most direct terms, strong and responsive municipal councils need men and women who: • Bring transferable, practical skills to the important job of local governance. • Have demonstrated experience dealing with competing priorities, and knowledge of efficient processes. • Are steadfastly professional, especially when confronting conflict. • Consistently put service above self, a characteristic that transforms us and cre- ates the best, strongest communities. We know these people exist. We just need to elect more of them. Making a difference in municipal governance in Durham durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 10, 20107 PWhat was your favourite Olympic moment? GUY CARIONE -- ‘The overtime goal.’ DONNA JASPER -- ‘The first gold medal. It set the stage.’ MARG TOWNSHEND-- ‘When Canada surpassed the gold medal record. The enthusiasm was won- derful. I don’t even like hockey, but I loved it.’ DAVID STOKELL -- ‘Just the thrill of seeing Canada score in overtime .’ WE ASKED Lately I’ve found myself craving the com- pany of men. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not coming out of the closet or anything, although I still think The Pet Shop Boys were a vastly underrated band. But is this more about male companionship. I used to have my Thursday night hock- ey but a recovering knee has put that on hold for a while. And I miss it terribly. That dressing room could get as ripe with tes- tosterone as the East German women’s swim team. And I’m realizing, as I close in on 50, how really important, vital in fact, is time spent with the ‘pack’. For all of our evolution and education, men are still very simple, even primal, creatures at heart. And honestly, the best of us are really not much better than fairly intelligent, well-trained dogs. You can take us out, we’ll behave well in company, we can sit, stand or beg as the situation calls for, but in the back of our shaggy heads is always that canus lupus. The wolf. Call- ing us to run with the pack. To eat meat, mark our territory, compete for a suitable female and to procreate. This is why it’s never enough for a man to simply pee into the toilet. That mess is not just poor aim ... it’s anthropology. And why is our favourite room in the house called the ‘den’? This isn’t rocket science. Trust me on this. Do you ever wonder, for instance, why there are so few, if any, all- male book clubs? Most men I know love to read. They enjoy books enormously. But they don’t get together to talk about books. Why? Because regardless of the plot or subject matter of the book at hand, when- ever men gather, the conversation inevita- bly boils down to the same thing: “Yeah, that Madame Bovary is smoking hot.” “Hester Prynne is a total fox.” “Man, I can’t stop thinking about that Professor McGonagall ...” It’s stupid. But it’s true. Whenever and wherever men congregate, the evolution- ary trend is predictably downwards, not upwards. I have never been in the com- pany of men, regardless of the brilliance of their various minds and goodness of their hearts, where, after a very short period of time, the subject of women and, more to the point, sex, did not raise its leering head. This is why there have never been any great scientific, philosophical or intellec- tual breakthroughs in hockey dressing rooms, military barracks or, for many years in the past, Parliament. In the pack, men think ... but they think with their pee-pees. Still, there is no reason to despair. Happy men and, I think, happy women, under- stand this. The dog is a wonderful ani- mal. He is smart, brave, unflaggingly loyal and a constant companion. But he needs to play with other dogs. He needs to howl at the moon, run and chase squirrels. And he needs to do this often. This is why men hunt together, fish together, play cards together and compete together on innu- merable playing fields. It’s not the activity so much as the time with the pack that is important. Being a man may be simple, but it is not always easy. We are asked to be many dif- ferent things in this life: sons, husbands, fathers, friends, lovers, scholars, warriors, poets and artists. And some roles feel more familiar than others. But at our core is always the wolf, the dog. I think it’s impor- tant to not only understand that, but to honour it.

Phin Public School, waited for his next set of instructions during a dance class on Feb. 5. Grade 6, 7 and 8 students at the school were taking part in a six-week ballroom dancing program as part of the phys ed curriculum. There were a handful of couples taking part in the class but for whatever reason, I chose Jake to photograph. I suppose it might have been because he looked a little unsure of his steps. It was a challenge to follow Jake and his partner with so many other groups taking part, but a few elements came together for this shot. Framing Jake with the other dancers makes it pretty clear as to what’s going on. The expression on his face also tells his side of the story. Ryan Pfeiffer is a photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group RYAN PFEIFER/BEHIND THE LENS JOANNE BURGHARDT Is suicide news? As an editor, I often have to make the call on whether to report on an actual, or attempted, suicide. It always comes down to a decision between the surviving fam- ily’s privacy at such a difficult time and the public’s need to know. Why would the public ‘need to know’ that someone com- mitted suicide? In some cases, our respon- sibility is to tell you not that someone com- mitted suicide, but that the person was not the victim of foul play. When someone sadly takes his own life by jumping from a building in broad day- light, the spectre of homicide is raised. The public, seeing a body and hordes of police in their neighbourhood, need to know a killer is not at large. The most public example of this in recent weeks would be the death of entertainer Marie Osmond’s 18-year-old son. If I were the editor on that story, the fact that the suicide was very public and could just as easily have been murder or an accidental fall would have been the most important reason for revealing the fact it was a suicide. Celebri- ty or stature in some cases is the deciding factor, but in this case I believe it should have no bearing. It can get tricky when we attempt to dispel rumours that a death may have been murder because police, who are our most reliable source in these cases, are also reluctant to come right out and say the word suicide. On Feb. 18, Durham Regional Police discovered the bodies of two women in a house in Hampton, each having suffered ‘obvious signs of trauma’. Members of the homicide unit were called; it was obvious to neighbours that something bad had happened -- but what? On Feb. 19, police issued this statement: “Investigators do not believe the death of two women in a Hampton house was a random event, and are not currently look- ing for any suspects. The event appears to be a self-contained incident involving the two individuals located within the resi- dence.” This is the police force’s way of telling us they don’t think these people were mur- dered, without actually saying they believe them to be suicide. Sometimes the best we can do is let you read between the lines. -- Joanne Burghardt is editor-in-chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 10, 20108 P *Food or cash donation required to local food bank determined by club.

March 1st - March 13th Parks and Recreation Ontario recognizes its innovation, sustainability, accessibility PICKERING -- Six months after a massive expansion and renovation was unveiled, the Pickering Recreation Complex has been recognized with a prestigious excel- lence in design award. The long-anticipated $4.5-million proj- ect was unveiled last September, drawing thousands of residents to see three new fit- ness and aerobics studios and two doubles squash courts. The renovation also includ- ed a sustainable green roof and a retrofit of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems. Every year, Parks and Recreation Ontar- io, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to improving the lives of Ontario residents, recognizes and honours achievements of people and organizations that contribute to the development of parks and recreation throughout the province. The Pickering rec complex won the Excellence in Design Award, having stood out for its sustainabil- ity, innovation, improved accessibility and community engagement. Pickering chief administrative officer Tom Quinn said in a press release, when the rec complex first opened 25 years ago, it was coined the ‘People’s Place’ for bring- ing the community together. “I am proud that these significant facility enhancements and upgrades will ensure that it continues to be the veritable heart and soul of our community for another quarter century,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan echoed his thoughts. “The Pickering Recreation Complex is a world-class facility, and winning this major award has reaffirmed its leader- ship status,” he said. “Congratulations to our CAO, Thomas Quinn, and his staff for their outstanding efforts in not only build- ing upon our sports and recreational land- scape, but also strengthening the very fab- ric of our community.” The awards ceremony will take place on April 8 at PRO’s Stars of 2010 gala awards event in Niagara Falls. CITY Pickering rec complex receives design award New logo demonstrates community connection PICKERING -- After 20 years, the Pickering Public Library has retired its old logo in favour of a new look. The newly unveiled library logo is meant to better demonstrate the insti- tution’s connection to the Pickering community, said Pickering Library CEO Cathy Grant. She explained the logo represents the fundamental importance of the library in the community through the prominence of the word ‘library’. “The flowing movement of the logo represents the future orientation of the library and the willingness to change to meet the needs of the community,” she said, “and the bright jewel tones repre- sent history and sustainability in green while the blue represents optimism and the future. The new logo is now featured at all of Pickering’s branches.

Time commitment is one big factor of public life that some new faces on council, including Coun. Highet, said they didn’t fully realize the magnitude of coming in. But that’s not the only ‘surprise’ in their first terms. The rookie Ward 5 councillor, one of four newbies elected in Uxbridge’s 2006 munici- pal showdown, said it has been a tough act so far to balance his personal and work life. “My job and fam- ily time are hard to fit in,” he said, noting he also serves on a number of committees. The real estate professional said he had to “scale back and make better use of time” when he took on council duties. While Coun. Highet said he used to put up to 50 hours a week into real estate, he now balanc- es his work commitments, put- ting in up to 30 hours a week for civic duties and up to 40 at his other occupation. “Some weeks are just crazy,” said Coun. Highet. “It’s been tough, I have a young family.” And it’s those young families in his ward, which he felt weren’t being rep- resented on the previous coun- cil, that drove him to run for office in the first place. In Oshawa, Coun. John Henry also said time is the enemy, not- ing he has been front and centre tackling municipal and regional issues despite being a fresh face in the council mix. The owner of an office equipment company, he is putting in 140 to 160 hours per month on council business. “It’s a lot busier than people think,” said Coun. Henry, noting he’s not able to focus on his own busi- ness as much. “But I expected that.” Adjusting to his responsibilities is an ongo- ing challenge, he added. “I’m lucky I came in with a business background,” said the Oshawa regional councillor. “There was a learning curve, and there still is, every day you learn.” In the southwest section of Durham, Ajax’s Ward 2 Coun. Renrick Ashby is also testing new waters. Coun. Ashby won over voters in a 2008 byelection after incumbent Joe Dickson decided to take office at the provincial level. But managing time hasn’t been the biggest hurdle for Coun. Ashby. “I’ve been volunteering and doing community service for over 25 years,” said Coun. Ashby. “That community aspect was there all the time ... when this opportunity came up, it was just an extension to my volunteer service to the community.” A challenge for him, however, is chang- ing gears between his job as a City of Toronto planner and a councillor in Durham. “I do struggle ... on one hand I’m thinking like a planner, the other hand I’m a politi- cian,” he said. Another obser- vation by the Ajax councillor from his brief time in local office is the amount of reading involved. “You have to love reading,” he said with a chuckle, not- ing he’s poring over material to educate himself. “It’s not casual reading.” Dealing with the media was another component to adjust to, he offered. “The media has their role to play,” said Coun. Ashby. “(Council- lors) need to have a thick skin, you can’t take it personally.” But despite the challenges in their early council careers, there have been rewards, they said. “I think I am making a difference, I represent my demographic on council,” said Coun. Highet. He is also proud of using his real estate knowledge to help the Township secure the more than 100-acre Kennedy House property from the Province. “I think we came out ahead,” he said of the deal. Coun. Ashby said more than nine out of 10 calls he receives are people complaining, but, “that 10th call, someone is thanking you ... no one ever won an election with 100 per cent support. Some people are not going to like you for whatever reason.” But that’s OK with the Ajax councillor. “Making a differ- ence is a very rewarding feeling.” Added Coun. Henry, representing his con- stituents on council “is about payback for the privilege to succeed here.” None of the three councillors interviewed had declared their intentions for the Octo- ber election as of Feb. 19.

Councillor John Henry durhamregion.com Pickering school sweeps Uxbridge in best-of-three series BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The St. Mary Monarchs are heading back to OFSAA. The senior boys’ hockey team swept aside the Uxbridge Tigers last week in their best-of-three LOSSA final, finishing the short series with a 5-0 victory Friday. With that, the Monarchs have earned a second consecutive trip to the Ontario champion- ship tournament, having won the LOSSA title last season. Coming off a stunning 5-4 overtime victory in Game 1 last Wednesday, a game in which the team trailed by two in the third period, St. Mary coach Mike Dion said learning from the mis- takes made in that one, specifi- cally those related to a lack of discipline, helped carry his team through. “We stayed out of the box and capitalized early. We really didn’t give them any hope for life,” said Dion, who had watched his team take several penalties, lead- ing directly to Uxbridge goals in Game 1. “Staying out of the box (is key). Five-on-five, we’re a pretty dif- ficult team to play against so we knew if we kept the game five- on-five and capitalized on our chances that we’d do well.” Jordan Bean, who missed the first game due to suspension, got the scoring started early, finding the back of the net just 14 seconds in. That lead stood until the late stages of the first when Corey Helliwell tallied on a point shot. Then, 25 seconds later, Game 1 hero Coraddo Cammisuli scored his first of two on a goalmouth scramble. Cammisuli’s other goal came in the second, while captain Richard Abbott rounded out the scoring 20 seconds into the third. After allowing four goals in the series opener, goaltender Antho- ny Perri hunkered down and stopped everything that came his way for the shutout, a much deserved one according to Dion. “He was very solid. He made a couple key saves at key points and really just played nice and calm and within himself,” Dion said. “He definitely earned the shutout.” The Monarchs now have a cou- ple weeks to wait before compet- ing at OFSAA. To remain sharp, Dion says the club will practise a few times between now and when it departs for St. Catha- rines. The tournament will be held March 23-26 and, according to Dion, his team should enter the event as a top-four seed, which would make it one of the medal favourites.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 10, 201017 AP Beat Pickering in third and deciding game of series BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- For the second year in a row, and fourth time in five years, the LOSSA junior boys’ hockey champions reside in Pickering, thanks to the efforts of the St. Mary Monarchs. The Monarchs earned this year’s championship with a 2-1 series victory over the Pickering High School Trojans of Ajax. St. Mary capped the series off with a 4-3 win in Game 3. After losing Game 1 by a 5-3 count, the Monarchs forced a third game with a 4-1 victory in Game 2. “It’s always great to win LOSSA. We’ve won it before but every year it’s a different group of kids,” said Shayne MacDonald, coach of the juniors. “The experience with them, the working with them and pointing out the little things they can do better, it keeps it new. It was amazing.” The Monarchs needed to dig deep to emerge with the victory following the series opening loss. MacDonald noted that after that game, his team had then lost four consecutive games to the Trojans, who finished first during regular season play at 6-0-1. “As a coach, you try to stay posi- tive, but in the back of your mind you’re thinking, ‘boy, if we don’t turn things around, they’ve prov- en they can beat us’ ... I credit the boys fully,” MacDonald said. “I think there are teams out there that might have folded after los- ing four straight times to another team. They fought back.” Nicholas Gucciardi was the hero in the decisive Game 3, scor- ing the series-clinching goal and winning three key faceoffs late while Pickering had the extra attacker on the ice in an attempt to tie things up. The Monarchs held on to win the title. To get to the final, St. Mary dumped the J. Clarke Richardson Storm in quick two games, out- scoring them 18-3, according to MacDonald.

One of the Ontario Hock- ey League’s fiercest rivalries has been decidedly one- sided this season, with the Petes taking six of the seven games so far, and holding a 13-3 advantage in points. And, while many of the games have been tight affairs that could have gone either way, Sunday’s at the General Motors Centre was never in doubt, as the Petes jumped out to a 5-0 lead on way to a 6-2 romp, pushing the Generals to the brink of playoff elimination for a second straight year. Considering the Generals had closed to within three points of the Petes with a pair of weekend wins over the Kingston Frontenacs, it was an extremely disap- pointing way to close out the home portion of the regular season. The Generals knew going into the game that both the Niagara IceDogs and Sud- bury Wolves had won ear- lier in the day, meaning the game should have been viewed as a virtual must- win. Instead, the loss leaves the Generals three points back of the Wolves for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, with three road games remaining for both. The IceDogs are four ahead of Oshawa, also with three games remain- ing, while the Petes are five up with two left. “They capitalized on their chances tonight, that was the difference,” Generals coach/GM Chris DePie- ro offered after Sunday’s game. “We weren’t able to generate as much, wheth- er it’s fatigue, playing three (games) in three (nights), I don’t know, but that could be a contributing factor.” The Generals went into the weekend in a tailspin, having lost 13 of 14 games, but swept a home-and- away set with the Fronte- nacs, beginning with an impressive 5-2 verdict in Kingston Friday. The Generals close out the season with games in Belleville Wednesday, Otta- wa Friday and Peterbor- ough Saturday. “We told the guys we have to put this one behind, that all is not lost in terms of the bigger picture here,” DePie- ro said. “We’ve got a tougher hill to climb obviously, but it is what it is and I think we have to focus on what’s pos- sible versus what’s behind us.” Sudbury finishes the sea- son with games in Peterbor- ough Thursday, Kingston Friday and Ottawa Sunday. Niagara is at home against Mississauga Thursday and Belleville Saturday before closing out in Mississauga Sunday .
