Cleaning up after Pickering derailment INVESTIGATION INTO CAUSE WILL TAKE A YEAR OR MORE BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The cleanup of derailed freight cars at the Pickering GO station was well underway Wednesday morning. A CN train jumped the track on Tuesday at about 3:15 p.m. with some of the derailed cars landing within metres of parked cars. On Wednesday, the northwest area of the parking lot was blocked off as the cleanup proceeded with several of the mangled cars already removed from the track. There were piles of lumber from one of the derailed cars, dozens of workers and heavy machinery at the site. There are five tracks that run through the Pickering GO station. The two used by the GO train were not affected by the derailment and service was running through Pickering dur- ing the morning commute, though with some delays. The parking situation was tighter than normal because of the portion of the lot that was cordoned off and GO was recommend- ing commuters consider parking in Whitby, Oshawa or Rouge Hill instead. CN spokesperson Frank Binder said two of the other three tracks were cleared by 11:30 See CLEANUP page 13 COURTS 3 Murderer sentenced Mississauga man convicted in Pickering killings THEATRE 23 Sound of success Durham girl stars in major Toronto show SPORTS 25 OFSAA bronze St. Mary Monarchs win hockey medal durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 1, 20102 AP durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 1, 20103 AP WE CARRY BODY PARTS MON-FRI 8AM-5:30PM SAT 8AM-2PM PICKERING LOCATION1648 BAYLY ST.

Jerome Campbell demonstrated a “self-interest- ed, cold-hearted, ruthless attitude” toward Khris- tian Ottley and Jeffery Warne, who didn’t know each other but were gunned down within days of each other in early 2008, Superior Court Justice Edwin Minden said in setting parole eligibility Tuesday in Oshawa. Mr. Campbell, 21, pleaded guilty in late February to second-degree murder in the killings of Mr. Warne, 19, who died during a home invasion robbery at his Hollyhedge Drive apartment Jan. 27, 2008, and man- slaughter in the death of the 23-year-old Mr. Ottley, who was found dead in his car on Valley Farm Road Jan. 14, 2008. He also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the shooting of Mr. Warne’s landlord, who interrupted the robbery. Mr. Campbell wasn’t the trigger man in the kill- ings, but was an active participant in events that led to the deaths of the two young men, court heard. He admitted loading and handing over a shotgun moments before two men climbed into the backseat of Mr. Ottley’s car, and was part of a plot to rob Mr. Warne. Mr. Ottley was shot in the back and left to die in his car by a man who claimed to have been “dissed” by the victim, court heard. Mr. Warne was killed by a shotgun blast to the head when the robbery plan went awry. The man accused of committing the two killings has yet to stand trial. His identity is protected by a publication ban. Tuesday Mr. Campbell apologized to relatives of the two slain men. “I really am sorry,” he said from the prisoner’s dock, reading from a piece of paper clutched in his manacled hands. “I will spend the rest of my life paying for the lives of these young men.” The conviction for second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence. Mr. Campbell, who was given credit for a year spent in custody prior to sen- tencing, will be eligible to apply for parole in January of 2021. “There’s no guarantee you will get it,” Justice COURTS Prison time for Mississauga man in murder of Pickering men Minden warned the man. The judge noted Mr. Campbell had just been released from jail on probation when he “almost immediately” joined in the crime spree that led to the two killings.

Witnesses told police a blue motorcycle travelling east on Bayly Street at about 3:50 p.m. was proceeding through the intersec- tion at Kitney Drive on a green light when a vehicle going west, a silver Toyota Yaris, turned left into the bike’s path. The driver of the Toyota, a 71-year-old woman from Ajax, was uninjured. The roadway remained closed for sev- eral hours while police and members of the Traffic Services Branch and Collision Investigation Unit collected evidence. The motorcyclist is awaiting transfer to an area trauma centre, police said Wednes- day. Police are looking to speak to the driver of a red truck stopped eastbound in the intersection when the accident took place.

A charity car rally and scavenger hunt is being held on April 17 beginning at 9:30 a.m. In December 2008, a devastating fire destroyed the humane society building on Waterloo Street in Oshawa, killing more than 100 animals. The society is plan- ning to build a new shelter in Whitby, but is temporarily keeping animals in a small Oshawa location that doesn’t have room for dogs or to quarantine sick animals. The April event is a fundraiser for the society and the new shelter. The cost is $37.50 per person, with two-person teams. Participating teams will need a digital cam- era, pencil and a map of Durham Region. There will be a free barbecue at the finish line. Instructions for the scavenger hunt loca- tion will be given to participants at regis- tration.

There are lots of changes going on. Song sparrows are back, and most assur- edly a male is singing from the top of a shrub nearby, claiming nesting territory and advertising for a mate. His song starts out with two distinct whistles, followed by a falling jumble of notes. The best field mark for these heavily streaked sparrows is a dot in the center of their chest. Meanwhile, the rusty-capped sparrows that have been around all winter, feed- ing on the ground with juncoes, will soon disappear. Erroneously named “tree spar- rows”, they’ll be heading far north to the edge of the treeline to nest. Here today, gone tomorrow. Tree sparrows have un- streaked grey breasts, with a single dot in the center. The bright white chin patch on the spar- row I saw out the dining room window last week made me smile. Another welcome sign of spring. It meant migration was underway, with the first wave of white-throats moving north toward where they nest in cottage country forests. I’ve had a white-throat scratching under my feeder all winter, but it was the “tan-stripe-and-chin” variety, a different colour phase from the tooth- paste-white coloration of this obvious new arrival. White-throated sparrows are known and loved by all canoeists, campers and cot- tagers for their beautiful, haunting song: that clear, slow “Oh sweet Canada, Cana- da, Canada” whistle you hear coming from the woods on a quiet morning. Some sing on their way north, to the delight of any- one walking in southern Ontario woodlots throughout April, and to delight of feeder watchers lucky to have a flock settle in to clean up seeds fallen on the ground. This is one of the few species where a female may sing almost as often as a male. Since white-throats nest in forest open- ings and edges, all the clear-cut logging going on doesn’t hurt their numbers as it does most other Ontario birds. So you can still see good numbers of white-throats migrating through Dur- ham. Most exciting to find are our beauti- ful fox sparrows, named for the rich rusty colouration on their breast, wings and tail. These big, chunky birds, even more heavily streaked than a song sparrow, are on their way to boreal forests for the sum- mer. I was fortunate to be able to paddle for two weeks in far northern country along the Manitoba border during the last Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, dropped off by float plane. Fox sparrows were singing from the tops of young conifers growing up in scattered burns along the shoreline, the sweetest sparrow song of all. Hearing one sing now, down south here during migration, always takes me back in spirit to that remote, unspoiled wilder- ness where fox sparrows reign supreme.

Songs of the sparrow are another herald of spring season Margaret Carney Hateful postings promote more violence, less tolerance Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School students, rocked by the death of Mike ‘Biggie’ McDonald Tuesday, didn’t take long to share their feelings online fol- lowing the teen’s stabbing death. A page was quickly created on Facebook to celebrate the life of the young victim. Fel- low students expressed themselves in the popular social media forum, sharing remi- niscences, offering words of support and opposing violence. The free expression encouraged by the site helps teens explore their feelings, it permits them to express their revulsion and serves an important purpose in allowing them to share their col- lective grief. However, the instant audience and read- ership that encourage tribute pages such as that for Mike McDonald also led to the cre- ation of a page focused solely on the vili- fication of the young man arrested in his death. It is here that students, unfortunate- ly, crossed the line from an expression of feelings to a rush to judgment. Hateful, pro- fane and disturbing posts, presumably from those who knew and loved Mike, do noth- ing to honour the young man’s death. We encourage students to focus on the short life of the young man who was lost to violence. Celebrate his achievements, share memories of his presence in your midst and create a lasting memorial at the school. But it’s important that students let jus- tice take its course. Two young men were involved in an altercation that led to some- one’s death. An arrest has been made and the established, successful system we have in place is now in motion. In the absence of a guilty plea, all of the circumstances sur- rounding the case would be introduced at trial and a judge or jury would determine the alleged killer’s fate. This is fundamental to our freedoms in society. Justice is not served by hateful messages that promote more violence. The life -- and death -- of a young man with a bright future is diminished when we create a closed loop of revenge and recrimination. Grief counsellors are now at Dwyer to help students confront this incident and exam- ine their feelings. We hope every student struggling with it takes advantage of their presence at the school. In the meantime, we expect that the hate page created for the suspect in the case is removed so students can focus on the life of their friend, not the young man arrested in his death. Keep a good thought for Mike McDon- ald and his family as they confront their grief. Keep a cool head when it comes to the other young man inextricably involved in this tragedy. - News Advertiser durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 1, 20107 AP • Hundreds of hours of classroom and lab time covering subjects such as responding to radiation emergencies, the theory behind and practical use of radiation protection instruments, understanding the risk of radiation exposure, and an in-depth review of the policies of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act • Eight-month certi cate program featuring a 30-hour work placement experience within a nuclear environment Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley is located in Pembroke, Ontario near the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.

The radio frequency identification sys- tem tracks patients, physicians and staff wearing sensor badges in an attempt to improve wait times and patient safety. The system shows how long patients have been waiting to be seen, as well as their location, on computer screens in the emergency department. The system records the time from a patient’s triage to registration, to wait- ing room, to treatment space assign- ment, to primary nurse assessment, then to primary physician assessment. Once a patient is seen by a nurse or physician, that caregiver is automatical- ly assigned to the patient in the tracking system, eliminating the extra step need- ed for staff to document it. The system’s about a month old, so it’s too early for results, but Dr. Mann looks forward to getting wait-time data quick- ly. In 2008, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care selected Rouge Val- ley to be among 23 emergency depart- ments that would focus on reducing wait times. The system includes map views dis- played on monitors throughout the ER. An overall department floor view, for example, shows rooms that are already occupied by patients, cleaned and ready, or needing to be cleaned. Once the room is cleaned, the system is immediately updated to show the room is available for another patient. “We hope that this will also make the work of our staff easier and produce fewer wasted steps,” said Ramona Viss- er, registered nurse. The program also offers important data, such as the average volume of patients flowing into emergency per hour, the total number of patients in the department at any one time, and the average length of a patient’s visit. Asset tags are also placed on equip- ment so it can be quickly located. HEALTH New tracking device to improve Ajax-Pickering hospital wait times JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- The emergency room of Rouge Valley Health is using a new ER tracking device as seen on registered nurse Paolo O’Hara, attending to a patient at the hospital March 24. The radio frequency identification system tracks patients, physicians and staff who wear the sensor badges. It’s designed to help reduce wait times in the ER.

Julia Millar, 10, of Ajax came up with the idea. “I wanted to cut my hair because my brother has leukemia and I just sent out my e-mail to my friends to see if they wanted to cut their hair because a lot of people on my hockey team had long hair,” she said. Julia’s brother, nine-year-old Zach Millar, was diagnosed with leukemia in Decem- ber 2008 and lost all his hair as he under- went treatment. His hair is back now, but Zach will continue to receive treat- ments for two more years. When Julia went to Sick Kids to sup- port her brother, she would often see kids wearing wigs and was inspired to donate her hair. Julia initially took her idea to a cou- ple of friends on her hockey team and it grew from there to 11 girls from the Durham West Lightning cutting between eight to 12 inches of hair. “We cut our hair at the Ajax Community Centre and it was really fun seeing all the people get their hair cut very short,” she said. Among the people wielding the scissors was her mother’s friend Susie Brzezinski, who is a one-year cancer survivor. The girls donated the hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which makes free wigs for people who have lost their hair during cancer treatment, and raised a total of $3,128 for Sick Kids. Ten-year-old Kailey Uusoue was the top fundraiser, col- lecting $967. “I sent an e-mail around to fam- ily and friends and I also walked around the neigh- bourhood and stuff,” she said. This was Kailey’s second time cutting her hair for cancer so she said she wasn’t ner- vous about doing it. But it was the first time for Maddie and Jaime Ayres, who both say they were a little nervous. “I wanted to do it right away because I knew it was for a good cause and my hair was growing really, really long,” said 11- year-old Jaime. “When I was sitting in the chair to go, I was getting butterflies in my stomach.” Maddie said it took a bit of getting used to, but she now likes her short hair. “At school they were surprised too, I didn’t tell anyone, and they liked it,” said the 10- year-old. All 11 girls were proud of their fundrais- ing efforts and happy with the end result. “I think that we all look pretty good with short hair,” said Kailey.

Mike, known as Biggie, was stabbed and killed after a fight near the bus stop across from the school, at Rossland and Stevenson roads. Mike McDonald loved sports, had a good sense of humour BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Rhonda Corby will miss hearing her son say good morning and good night every day. “I’ll miss him telling me he loved me the most,” she said. Ms. Corby’s son, Mike McDonald, was fatally stabbed Tuesday afternoon at a bus stop across the street from his high school, Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School. Eighteen-year-old Jacques Amakon, a fellow stu- dent, has been charged with second degree murder. Ms. Corby will miss her son’s sense of humour. She described her 16-year-old as a funny kid who never cracked a joke at someone else’s expense. And he took the advice she gave him, she said. “He could be hard-headed, but he always listened in the end.” Mike, or Biggie as his classmates called him, didn’t always like going to school but he had a passion for playing basketball and football. Ms. Corby said she always loved cheering him on at his football games. “I was there, the proud mom, always yelling ‘Go Boo Boo’,” Ms. Corby said through tears. Unlike many kids his age might have been, Mike was never ashamed of his childhood nickname, she said. Ms. Corby said she called her son Boo Boo since the day he was born. A funeral service for Michael will be held Monday, April 5, starting at noon, at Westminister United Church, 1850 Rossland Rd. Visitations will be held at Mount Lawn Reception Centre, 21 Garrard Road, Whitby, on Saturday, April 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Humane Society of Durham.

In terms of the cleanup, he estimated the area would be clear by the time commut- ers got back from the long weekend and said everything’s proceeding safely. The Transportation Safety Board of Can- ada (TSB) is investigating the derailment. “Our folks are still out there walking the rails gathering information,” said TSB spokesperson John Cottreau. He said there are three phases to an investigation: field work, analysis and report writing, and the process typically takes a year or more. The inspectors are looking at the tracks and they’ll be taking some of the damaged rail back to the lab in Ottawa for analysis. “But we’re also going to take a closer look at four of the locomotives that were being towed,” said Mr. Cottreau. Locomotives carry data recorders akin to black boxes on airplanes and investigators will be down- loading that data for analysis. Lessons learned from the incident will be applied to future rail safety. “The causes and contributing factors are always different, there’s always a different set of circumstance that led to the acci- dent,” said Mr. Cottreau. GO commuters were somewhat philo- sophical about the delays. “It’s not really their fault, what can you do, it’s a derailment,” said Pickering resi- dent and Ryerson University student Nata- sha Fonseka. On her commute home yesterday, Ms. Fonseka had to disembark at Rouge Hill. Instead of waiting for the shuttle to drop her off in Pickering, she grabbed a TTC bus to the Pickering-Scarborough border and then caught the Hwy. 2 GO bus back to the station. In addition to commuters, curious resi- dents were also on hand to check out the wreckage. Many snapped pictures off the Liverpool Road overpass and others walked right up to the northwest site of the parking lot that was cordoned off by rail police. Among them was Joan Matchin of Pickering. “I’m curious, I’m wondering if anything had been done to the track to make it hap- pen,” she said. The causes and contributing factors are always different, there’s always a different set of circumstance that led to the accident. John Cottreau CLEANUP from page 1 Mayor Dave Ryan, MP Dan McTeague challenge rail companies, Ottawa BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After Pickering experienced Durham’s sixth train derailment since 2004 Tuesday afternoon, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is demanding the federal government and railway companies take some serious action. “Enough is enough,” he said. “And we’re demanding that Transport Canada, specifi- cally the minister, address this concern not only for the City of Pickering but all rail sys- tems across this nation.” The CN train was heading to Montreal and derailed near Liverpool Road in Pickering. Three locomotives and nine freight cars jumped the tracks at the western edge of the GO station’s passenger platform, stopping close to cars in the parking lot at around 3:15 p.m. There were no injuries, but both Mayor Ryan and Pickering-Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague fear what could have hap- pened had the incident happened during rush hour when GO traffic is heavy and the station is packed with commuters. “The fact is we got lucky today,” Mr. McTeague said. “Obviously there has to be a greater measure of due diligence to create an environment that’s a lot safer.” Although the City sent a number of letters to CN after the 2007 derailment when a CN freight train jumped the tracks in Pickering, Mayor Ryan has already sent a letter to Transport Canada Minis- ter John Baird since Tues- day’s incident, requesting a face-to-face meeting. The majority of freight trains that travel through Durham contain hazardous chemicals, Mayor Ryan noted. “The potential for disaster here is exces- sive,” he said. He spoke of the Mississauga train derail- ment in 1979 when 200,000 people were evacuated after a CP train carrying explosive and poisonous chemicals jumped the tracks. “Have we not learned anything from that?” he said. Mayor Ryan added he hasn’t yet gotten word personally from CN regarding Tues- day’s derailment. Durham Region Chair- man Roger Anderson said residents have a right to know what CN is doing to maintain its tracks and trains. “Obviously CN needs to do some work on the east end of their tracks,” he said. CN spokesperson Frank Binder noted, “We’ve been constant- ly improving our safety record.” There’s been a 75-per cent improvement over last year, and last year saw an improve- ment of 35 per cent over the previous year, he said. “It’s premature to make any judgments at this time until the investigation is complete so we can determine exactly what caused the derailment,” he said. -- with files from Torstar news service and Reka Szekely PREVIOUS DERAILMENTS The five other derailments in Durham since 2004 include: • Four freight cars jumped the tracks Feb. 19 near Oshawa’s GM plant. • Two CP locomotives and 27 cars went off the rails in Oshawa last June. • Six CN cars left the tracks in Oshawa last May. • A CN freight train jumped the tracks in Pickering in March 2007. • Fourteen CP cargo containers derailed in Whitby in January 2004. One of the cars fell from the bridge onto the car below, killing two women. DAVE RYAN The potential for disaster here is excessive.

While spring is breathing new life into the outdoors, it’s also a perfect time to add a little seasonal oomph to your indoor environment. Here is an assortment of tips for brightening your home in celebration of spring. * Change is in the air. Spring is a perfect time to bring the outdoors in. Spring ﬂ owers, arranged either in one large bunch or in sev- eral mini-bouquets placed in nooks through- out the house are not only a visual treat, but emit refreshing springtime scents. * Brighten up. Adding seasonal touches to your home can be as easy as painting a piece of furniture, a single wall or the trim in the sunniest room in your home. The best colors for spring are light, clean, refreshing, and natural as opposed to either pale pastels or deep, color-drenched hues. Consider paint colors inspired by nature, such as shamrock, violet, slate and goldenrod. * Lighten up. It’s hard to imagine that spring has sprung in a room decked out in velvet or other heavy fabrics. Warm days and spring breezes call out for sheer or lightweight curtains, slipcovers in natural solid-colored or ﬂ oral fabrics, and decorative pillows that bring splashes of color into the room. It’s not necessary to replace all of the fabrics in a room to usher in a new season. Sometimes simply changing out pillows and removing warm winter throws is enough. * Floor it. Don’t forget to give your ﬂ oors a spring facelift as well. Substitute lighter cotton, sisal, jute or sea grass rugs in natural shades for the heavy wool rugs that feel so right when the weather turns cold. (Spring and summer are also perfect times to have wool rugs cleaned and/or repaired.) * Re-view. Shifting the arrangement of the furniture and decorative pieces in a room can have a major impact on its look and feel. During the cold winter months, it may be comforting to be nestled in a chair that faces a ﬁ replace. But once the weather warms up and the ﬂ owers begin to bloom, the best view in the house might well be out the window. Invite spring into your home with a furniture arrangement that is oriented toward a win- dow or other source of natural light. Then sit down and enjoy the view. Five easy ways to add a touch of spring to your home decor Canadians love to grill, and making the outdoor cooking experience sizzle all comes down to know- ing what to look for in a quality barbecue. The Home Depot helps you through the decision-making process with a look at different types of grills available and their beneﬁ ts. • Natural gas – Natural gas barbecues heat up quickly and have the highest BTUs (British thermal units) for cooking. Natural gas barbecues require a natural gas line connection to your grill for setup, and are also available with side and back burners, temperature indicators and storage cabinets. The greatest beneﬁ t of natural gas barbecues is the readily available, endless supply of fuel – unlike pro- pane gas barbecues which need to be reﬁ lled. With a natural gas barbecue, you’ll never have to worry about reﬁ lls or running out of fuel in the middle of cooking. • Propane gas – Like natural gas barbecues, propane gas grills heat up quickly and provide a high level of BTUs for cooking. They are also available with multiple burners with individual temperature controls, which will enable you to simultaneously cook different foods at different temperatures. Added features include temperature indicators, side burners, back burners and storage cabinets. Pro- pane gas barbecues are easy to clean, easy to use, and can be counted on to produce the same kind of ﬂ ame every time. • Charcoal – Many grilling enthusiasts prefer charcoal for that tried and true authentic barbecue ﬂ avour as they cook foods at high temperatures to seal in juices. When compared with gas grills, charcoal units take longer to heat up; however, this problem can be alleviated by purchasing a charcoal barbecue with a gas-ignition system. Charcoal barbecues have fewer ﬂ are-ups than gas-fuelled units.

Counselling Hypnosis Spiritual Direction Life Coaching For Individuals Couples Groups Enhance Your Performance by working smarter, not harder Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Springs coming! As the suns getting warmer and the days longer, I’m sure many of you are just itching to get out on the golf course, or the baseball diamond, or perhaps competing at an equestrian event. Maybe you’re also pondering how you can improve your performance. It’s actually easier than you think and can be done by the old adage of ‘work smarter, not harder’. Positive mental performance coaching is all about consistently enhancing your performance. It’s about lasting and ongoing suc- cess. It’s when “wish I could do that all the time” becomes a real- ity. Mental coaching involves a number of steps. One of the quickest and most effective steps is listening to your own ‘self talk’. Self talk is the conversation you have with yourself - that little voice Enhance Your Performance that never stops. It’s been estimated that more than 60,000 thoughts go through our heads each day. What messages are you giving to yourself about your per- formance? If they’re negative, they’re taking you away from your goal of performing better. If they’re positive, they’ll take you toward your goal. Imagine which thought will be more motivating – “how could I have been so lousy” or “that was really awesome! I’ll repeat that next time!” There are other steps in successful positive mental coach- ing. Very briefly they include setting targets and goals for achievement. Another is creative visualization -- seeing yourself successfully achieving your goals. Effective think- ing, such as the positive self talk, is very important. Mental toughness, such as persistence, resilience, re-focusing, and re-concentrating, result in confidence and the ability to main- tain control. Don’t be afraid of making your best performance average. If you do this, you’ll be consistently getting better!

Working with individuals and groups, Phebe helps people make positive life changes, reduce everyday stress, become more self-aware, find a sense of overall balance and peace, and have a renewed energy for life. Many people are discovering the benefits of detoxification with IonCleanse foot bath sessions. A footbath is truly an inviting way to detox the body especially when it claims to detoxify the body better and more efficiently than any herbal or nutritional supple- ment you can buy. Participants having an ioncleanse treatment simply take off their shoes and socks and immerse their feet in a warm foot bath for 30 relaxing minutes. It is not an ordinary foot bath though. This foot bath contains water and sea salt which carries a gentle electrical charge from a multiple-metallic array placed in the water. This causes the metals within the array, in combination with the water and salt to generate positive and nega- tive charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water. If all this sounds too confusing, perhaps you should try a treatment and see for yourself. It is a very comfortable way to facilitate detoxification even with people that have a serious toxic overload. Ioncleanse sessions have been referred to as… getting the issues out of the tissues! When using the IonCleanse array, water is absorbed directly into the human tissue. The fluctuating pH causes antimicrobial activ- ity that occurs metabolically with the session. Yes, the fluctuat- ing pH that occurs during an IonCleanse treatment is like a lethal weapon to bacteria. As a result, whole body detoxification takes place without any effort or discomfort to the person, and by means of a comforting footbath. Reports have been published on the measurement of Heavy Metals found in the water after ioncleanse sessions. Some of the heavy metals measured were lead, copper, arsenic and aluminum. People have reported feeling lighter, more energetic, and relieved of pain even after one session. Particular improvement has been noted with symptoms of gout, edema, and tired achy legs and over- all lack of energy. Individuals that suffer more chronic conditions are sometimes recommended to have more than one session. If you would like to experience the benefit of an IonCleanse session in the Pickering or Bowmanville area, contact Karen Steward at (905 837-6627).

The 12-year-old Brooklin resident was a star in the recent hit Toronto production of The Sound Of Music, performing in close to 200 shows, she said. Prior to that, she was a big part of To Kill a Mockingbird as Scout in Stratford, and performed in Oshawa Little Theatre’s South Pacific and a youth production in Port Perry. That’s all on top of tele- vision commercial roles. But what makes this Winchester Public School student even more impressive is that she faced cancer while performing. That’s a battle she’s winning. “I feel great,” she said during a recent interview. Rewind to late 2007, at the time of her Mockingbird stint, when Madi- son started having back spasms. Her mother, Peggy Jo Scott, an Ajax school principal, took her daughter to a doctor who also happens to be Madison’s grandfather, explained the young actor. “I was diagnosed with leukemia, (but) we caught it super early,” said Madison, who is also a competi- tive dancer. Madison was admitted to Sick Kids hospital in Toronto and underwent extensive therapy, which resulted in her los- ing her hair. “When I was first diagnosed, I didn’t know what leukemia was,” she said, recalling the pills she had to take. “I couldn’t keep them down ... the pills made me lose my balance and made my vocal chords swell up.” But that didn’t stop her from auditioning for The Sound of Music at the Princess of Wales Theatre in the big city last year. “The first time I went (to audi- tion) I was bald,” said Madison. “They thought I wasn’t feeling well enough.” But six months later, she got the call to step into the role of Louisa, noting she was the only actor from Durham in the production. Her mother stated that Madison was undergoing chemotherapy between shows. “She would have sedation and chemo up her spine in the morn- ing, come out of it, sleep in the afternoon and insist on doing her show that night,” noted Ms. Scott, who Madison said was an inspira- tion to her to push though her ill- ness. “My mom kept me thinking to not look at the negative,” said Madison. While her mother has been key in helping her career, it was her uncle, Broadway performer Robert Creighton, who ultimately gave her the stage bug, she said. At a very young age she saw him perform in Lion King at the same theatre as The Sound of Music, and declared, “I want to be on stage”, the young actor recalled. Ms. Scott noted Madison is now a “huge advocate” in helping chil- dren with cancer. “She is an ambassador for Sick Kids and has spoken and sang at numerous galas and charity events,” she said, also noting Madi- son helped create a support video regarding leukemia, distributed to Canadian hospitals. That’s not to mention singing the national anthem at the Brazil- ian Ball and spending a day with Premier Dalton McGuinty, added Madison’s mom. “(Madison) with the help of com- munity and friends has raised almost $70,000 for Sick Kids and her goal is $100,000,” noted Ms. Scott. On top of that, $35,000 has been raised for the Leukemia and Lym- phoma Society, noted Ms. Scott. Madison said she’s “pretty much back to normal”, and only has to take antibiotics with monthly check-ups. She plans to continue her acting. “I like the TV and the stage,” explained Madison. “I like a live audience. I love entertaining.” JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND BROOKLIN -- Madison Scott fought cancer while she starred in The Sound of Music in Toronto during its run at the Princess of Wales Theatre.

Moore was at the Sunset Grill recently, signing copies of her new book, Cracked Teacups, described as “a candid, humorous and thought provoking account of one woman’s struggle with depression.” Moore was nominated for the 2010 Transforming Lives Award from the Canadian Mental Health Association for the book and for helping to raise awareness of mental health issues. The book can be ordered from any book store, library or on-line site such as amazon.com. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 1, 201025 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com COLUMN Curling season coming to a close this month Youth closing banquet planned for April 18 BY JIM EASSON League play is finished for the compet- itive men’s league and the Thursday and Friday Mixed at the Annandale Curling Club. Some playdowns will send players home early, and the last bonspiel at Annandale is the annual Men’s Last Chance slated for April 17-18. The youth closing banquet is April 18, and the ice is turned over to the skaters after the bonspiel final ends. A Junior Mixed Annandale team of Josh Hall, Katelyn Wasylkiw, James McPherson and Yvonne Lalonde, and coach Donna Hall, play in the Ontario curling cham- pionship in Ilderton March 31 to April 3. Four other Annandale players will com- pete there too, curling under the Dixie Curling Club banner as they had a tim- ing conflict in our own zone. That team is Michael Bryson, Stacey Hogan, Sandy Martin and Kristy Hurst, with coach Susannah Moylan. The winners in Ilder- ton are Ontario champions and the run ends there with no further event as there is no national championship. The OCA Mixed Curling Regional play- down for the Annandale team of Patrick Janssen, Clancy Grandy, Tim March and Alison Kreviazuk was at the Richmond Hill Curling Club March 27-28. In the double knockout draw, the team was eliminated in the B side quarterfinal. They made it a lot farther than many other teams. Pickering resident Richard Hart is vice on the Ontario Men’s Curling Champi- onship team with Glenn Howard, Brent Laing and Craig Savill. The team is head- ing to Dawson Creek, B.C. on April 13- 18 to compete in the final 2009-10 Capi- tal One Grand Slam of Curling event, the Grey Power Players’ Championship. The best curling teams in the world are set to go there. The 2011 Tim Hortons Brier is in London March 5–13, 2011. Currently fans can take advantage of a new flex package of tickets, and a complete guide to buying is avail- able online at seasonofchampions.ca.

The senior team, led by coach Mike Dion, won the bronze medal following a 4-1 victory over Orangeville DSS last Friday. Brandon Robinson’s sec- ond period power play goal stood up as the winner. Other goals went to Curtis Henderson on a first period power play, Jeremy Davis and Drake Caggiula. Anthony Perri earned the victory in goal. “We are very happy with the outcome,” Dion said a few days after the tourna- ment. “We ended the sea- son with a win and that’s the first time we’ve ever done that.” The win was an impressive bounce back for the Mon- archs, who earlier in the day had their shot at gold dashed by Mississauga’s, St. Marcellinus in a 1-0 loss. Dion was quick to note that his team didn’t come up short due to lack of effort. “I don’t have any regrets about the way we played. We played a good hockey game. We dominated the play, but just couldn’t get one past the goalie,” he said. “Sometimes that happens.” In the round robin portion of the tournament, St. Mary skated to a 3-0-1 record and finished first in Pool D. Their wins came against Pembroke’s Fellowes High School (6-0), Barrie’s Joan of Arc (6-2) and Sarnia’s Northern CVI (3-2), while they posted a 3-3 tie against Toronto’s Upper Canada College. Corrado Cammisuli led the team in round robin scor- ing with six goals and seven points, while Perri tended goal in all four games. Dion expects roughly 10 players to return to the team next season. BOXING Durham coach helps train world champion PICKERING -- Richard Lewis had something to be proud of at Casino Rama on March 27. One of the boxers he helps train, Lisa Brown, pounded out a unanimous decision over Ana Julaton to add the WBA world title to her collection of cham- pionship belts. Brown is also the current IFBA, NABC and IWBF super bantamweight world champion. With the win, she has achieved what no other Canadian fighter, male or female, has accomplished, winning five world cham- pionships from the ban- tamweight to feather- weight divisions, as she remains Canada’s longest reigning world champion. She is also trained by husband Errol Brown. PICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURECrawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time A leaking basement is frustrating and expensive – and it’s not something you want to have to fix repeatedly. That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

Durham athletes were gracious hosts for the Ontario sledge hockey championships. The Durham Steelhawks hosted teams from across Ontario and one team from Buffalo for Championship Saturday at the Canlan Ice Sports Arena in Oshawa. The teams were on hand for the Ontario Sledge Hock- ey Association’s junior and intermediate A, B and C finals. Though the Steelhawks did not qualify for the finals, team manager Sean Dionne said he was excit- ed about hosting the event because it generated excite- ment about the sport. “We wanted to increase the visibility, sell the sport in the region,” he said. Sledge hockey may be familiar to many Durham residents in the wake of the recently completed Para- lympics in Vancouver. “Mostly it’s the same rules as standing hockey except they’re seated and they move by pushing them- selves with two sticks,” said Dionne. There are difference in rules is related to safety, he added. The Steelhawks have both junior and intermediate teams with players of both gender up to age 15 on the junior team and 16 plus on the intermediate team. Dionne added that peo- ple of all abilities are wel- come. “Our catch phrase is everybody hits the ice equal,” he said. Jeremy Booker and Graeme Murray of Cana- da’s Paralympic team were on hand during the earlier portion of the day to meet players and fans and to hand out medals. “Jeremy’s special because he’s an ex-Steelhawk and a local boy,” said Dionne of the Ajax athlete. Steelhawks captain Kurt Whitehead, now 29, has been hooked on sledge hockey for about a decade since a friend suggested he go out to the Steelhawks’ home ice, Whitby’s Iro- quois Park, and give it a try. “I think the competitive- ness is really enticing, the sportsmanship of it, play- ing with other guys and making plays happen with your teammates,” he said. Whitehead said the sport is fast-paced and great exercise. “It gives people who are disabled a chance to play with their siblings as well,” he said, adding there’s a large age range of peo- ple playing and no hockey experience is necessary.
