The group walked in support of Lauren’s father, Dave Pim, who has multiple sclerosis. Hundreds walk for MS in Pickering MORE THAN $380,000 RAISED FROM DURHAM EVENTS BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- If it wasn’t for the money raised from events like the annual MS Walk, Michelle De Vos doesn’t know if she’d be doing as well as she is. The Oshawa woman, now 37, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when she was just 15. Today, she works full-time and, with the help of monthly IV therapy, doesn’t let symptoms like fatigue slow her down. “You can’t judge a book by its cover. You can’t assume that because you have MS you’re going to be in a wheelchair ... although some people are,” Ms. De Vos said. “I try not to let it stop me.” Ms. De Vos was one of 473 walkers who came out bright and early Sunday morning to take part in the Oshawa MS Walk at Durham College. She and fellow members of NeuroFunk -- a small but mighty seven-member team -- came dressed for the occasion in wigs and doctor’s scrubs. Other teams donned homemade T-shirts, colour-coordinated bandanas or matching leg See PICKERING page 16 COURTS 3 A killer speaks Witness takes stand at Ajax murder trial FEATURE SERIES 14 Do they drag on?

Though it has never had to be used, the vacuum build- ing is essential to safety at the plant. The 51-metre build- ing is kept in a near-vacuum state so that if there is a rup- ture in the piping in the plant’s reactors, steam would be sucked into the vacuum building and condensed into water. This would prevent any damage from the pressure build-up, as well as the release of radioactive material. If something were to go wrong at the plant, the vacuum building is the last line of defence before the release of radioactive material. Because of the building’s importance, all six nuclear reactors in Pickering will be shut down during the vac- uum building outage. It takes years to plan such an out- age and during the 40 days of the project, workers will carry out about 40,000 tasks related to maintenance and inspection. During that period, there will be 1,900 addi- tional workers at the site. “It takes a long time to prepare, it’s a big project ... for OPG nuclear it’s the largest project we have this year,” said Pickering A senior vice-president Glenn Jager at a community advisory council briefing on the project. Mr. Jager said the outage was scheduled so that it occurs during a time of year when there is lower demand for electricity due to mild weather and hydro plants are operating at maximum strength. The shutdown of Pickering removes about 3,300 megawatts of electricity from the grid. It’s up to the Ontario Power Authority to procure electricity to compensate for the shutdown. The main concerns from members of the Pickering plant’s community advisory committee involved the discharge of water from the vacuum building into Lake Ontario. The building holds 11 million litres of filtered lake water in a tank which would be sprayed onto the steam to condense it if there was a rupture in one of the reac- tors. Because the vacuum building is connected to each of the reactors through a pressure relief duct, tritium does enter the water in the tank. In order to conduct the inspection and maintenance on the building, the tank has to be emptied. The building will be drained slowly over 24 hours so the water enter- ing the lake will be diluted and the levels of tritium will be safe. Initially OPG looked at draining the building over four hours, but increased it to 24 hours. Addition- al water sampling will be conducted at the Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa water treatment plants as well as the F.J. Horgan plant in Scarborough every six hours from April 17 to 24. Members of the committee wanted to know what would happen if tritium levels exceeded safe levels. “We have a high level of confidence that any observed increase would be within OPG’s voluntary limits and most likely would be much lower than that,” said Michael Brett, manager of chemistry and environment for OPG. The company is projecting that the tritium levels will be less than 20 becquerels per litre, below OPG’s volun- tary limit of 100 becquerels per litre and well below the Ministry of Environment’s limit of 7,000 becquerels per litre for municipal drinking water. “If there was an issue, they’d shut the water treatment plant down,” added Don Terry, manager of public affairs for Ontario Power Generation. Darlington completed its vacuum building outage last year.

New looks at every show Centre Court • Pickering Town Centre BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Karl O’Reggio struggled in his base- ment apartment with two intruders before being stabbed multiple times and left for dead, jurors in a murder trial have heard. “I stabbed him six times in the chest,” witness Jonathan Ebanks testified Monday morning. Mr. Ebanks said he was driven to and away from Mr. O’Reggio’s Ajax home on July 14, 2007, by Aimee Margaret McIntyre, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. The Crown alleges Ms. McIntyre orchestrated the deadly attack on Mr. O’Reggio to avenge an acrimonious break- up. Mr. Ebanks has already pleaded guilty to his involvement in the killing. Mr. Ebanks, 23, said he was contacted on the day of the killing by a friend, Nathan “Bigs” Kelly, who said he needed help settling a “beef” with someone. Mr. Ebanks was picked up in Oshawa by Mr. Kelly, who was in a car driven by Ms. McIntyre, and driven to Ajax, court heard. Mr. Ebanks testified he was armed with a large knife. He confirmed a weapon shown to the jury by prosecutor Indy Kandola -- it has a long, curved blade with a sharp point and black tape on the handle -- was the one he carried that day. On the way the men talked about “poking” Mr. O’Reggio to “scare him” he said. Ms. McIntyre drove by Mr. O’Reggio’s Tresher Court home and saw that his car was there while Mr. Kelly sent text messages to the man, the wit- ness said. He said Ms. McIntyre parked in a near- by schoolyard and pointed out Mr. O’Reggio’s house. As they prepared to go to the house, Ms. McIntyre referenced the knife, Mr. Ebanks said: “She was like, you better be ready to use that thing.” Soon after Mr. O’Reggio answered Mr. Kelly’s knock on the door, a struggle ensued and the men tumbled to the bottom of the stairs, Mr. Ebanks said. Fearing someone else might be in the apartment, he said he struck at Mr. O’Reggio as Mr. Kelly held him in a choke hold. “Nathan picks him up and I just stab him,” Mr. Ebanks said. “I thought he was dead.” He testified that the men ran back to the school parking lot and got into Ms. McIntyre’s car. They drove to her home in Bobcaygeon where he disposed of the knife in a wooded area, court heard. The trial continues.

The Crown had completed its case against Malcolm Chalmers and Chris- topher Jones when the two men entered the guilty pleas. Jurors had heard five weeks of evi- dence prior to Thursday’s develop- ment. The men were charged in connection with the Sept. 16, 2007 shooting of a man who had been lured from his Shoal Point Road home. The Crown’s key witness testified he was kidnapped at gunpoint and driven to Ajax where he was forced to phone the intended victim and ask him to meet. When the man approached, gun- men opened fire, hitting him in the leg. Mr. Chalmers and Mr. Jones pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, kidnapping and weapons charges. A 17-year-old was also charged but the charges were dropped after a series of mistrials. For the 23-year-old Mr. Chalmers, Thursday’s conviction was the second for aggravated assault in five months. Last November he was acquitted of attempted murder in the shooting of a Toronto bus driver, but was found guilty of aggravated assault. In the Toronto incident, Mr. Chalmers was identified as the gunman who start- ed shooting during a fight on a city bus in October of 2005. The incident left the driver blind. Mr. Chalmers was in custody on charg- es relating to the Ajax shooting when he was arrested in connection with the Toronto shooting. A date for sentencing on the Ajax charges has yet to be set.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions HEALTH CARE No accountability for long wait times at new hospital emergency To the editor: Re: Wait times at Ajax’s new hospital emergency department. I was appalled at the waiting time at the new emergency department of the Ajax-Pickering hospital. Along with other patients I endured five-and-a-half hours at the hands of the most incompetent staff schedule for which the residents of Dur- ham have no answers. I would appreciate it if the board of direc- tors was accountable to the patients who walk in through the doors of the emergen- cy, which is a mockery to the medical ser- vice. I cannot understand the delay and waiting time, which the politicians seem to get away from discussing at election time. Unlike a walk-in clinic or a family doctor’s clinic that make it a point of faster service to secure the billing, it would be interest- ing to have all government subsidies with- drawn and for the management to go out looking for business. Residents need to express their disdain over the incompetency and have the emer- gency serve the community as it is should. Edwin Delivera Ajax POLITICS Status quo best way to go, says Durham’s first-ever chairman To the editor: The recent publicity regarding the elec- tion of the Regional chairman has prompt- ed me, as the first chairman of Durham Region, to offer some observations and personal comments that may be of some interest to those “elected” and those who are the “electors.” I was appointed chairman for a three-year term in 1973 by the Province, and was later elected for two more terms by the elected councillors of the day from the eight local municipalities. When we elect our individuals, we ask them to set policy and administer it, col- lect taxes and wisely spend it in the best interest of our residents. In doing this, we have learned of their personality, experi- ence and ability and interest to work with and for us. Most of their work is done in the local municipality and then they come to Regional headquarters where they dis- cuss with the others elected in the other municipalities and decide on those issues that they will take to the Regional council to vote on. The chairman, when elected, is the only member of council whose office is at Regional headquarters and his entire responsibility is to act and speak at all times in the best interest of his municipal- ity -- the Region. He holds this office until his successor is elected. His duties are mainly in two areas. He may attend all meetings and participate, but he can only vote when there is a tie in a coun- cil vote. He chairs the council meetings and must try to be available to meet staff, councillors and the public. He is spokes- man for the Region and must always sup- port the policies and actions of the Region, his “municipality.” As spokesman, he will meet with other levels of government, organizations and other bodies that are regional-oriented, and the industries and businesses that are now in the region but also those who might wish to do so sometime in the future. The region-wide vote for chairman might offer some problems when we consider the geography and varieties of land-use from urban to agriculture, employment oppor- tunities and lifestyles whose requirements are many and various, both now and in the future. A candidate interested in being elected by a region-wide vote will require consid- erable time and a considerable budget or a large portion of the population may never have an opportunity to meet him or her. This type of election might present anoth- er difficulty. He, if elected, might face a council of 30 or more councillors who have just been elected in their eight municipali- ties, some who might have served for many years. This may be a problem that might be difficult to deal with. Would it not be in the best long-term interest of the Region to ask the already- elected councillors, some of whom may have served for years, to act once more on our behalf and elect the person who they can accept and respect to be their team leader as our Regional chairman? And why not, instead, limit how many terms they may serve? Walter Beath Port Perry Durham Region residents have an oppor- tunity to contribute to a better future, start- ing tomorrow. April 22 is Earth Day and communities across Durham have several initiatives planned to highlight the importance of the annual celebration, and to spur residents to take ideas home and contribute to a bet- ter planet year round. A renewed urgency, a growing sense that we must act now, really take action on cli- mate change, greets us in the 2010 edition of Earth Day. And what has been true in the past remains true today when it comes to indi- vidual efforts adding up to great collective change for the better. Each of us can vow to be more cognizant and take the little steps that made a difference. We can shop smart and buy just what we need; we can replace old faucets at home with aerators and incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents. We can walk more, carpool to work, take a leisurely bike ride to the corner store. We can plant trees, clean up a communi- ty park, recycle and compost more. From Pickering to Bowmanville tomor- row, residents and community leaders are joining forces to do those little things, to take those little steps that can add up to collective change and improvement. Plant a tree with the Central Lake Ontar- io Conservation Area in Bowmanville, take part in Green Living Days in Ajax or join in on the 20-minute makeover of neigh- bourhood areas in Pickering. If you’re in Whitby, the Town could use your help tidy- ing up local parks, while Uxbridge resi- dents can pitch in for a community-wide cleanup of their own yards and properties. But Earth Day comes and goes on the calendar but one day each year. Residents young and old must also remain inspired and motivated to battle climate change and preserve Mother Earth every day. Look for opportunities close to home, create new partnerships with schools and community service clubs to generate fresh ideas for preservation, and look around you. If we vow to act now, today, in the best interests of the planet, we will have done our part to ensure a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. And if we vow also to live up to the spirit of Earth Day for the rest of the calendar year, we will leave them a legacy of stewardship and earth care. - Metroland Durham Region Media Group Small steps add up to big strides in preserving our planet durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 21, 20107 PWhat are you doing to conserve energy that you weren’t 10 years ago? DEB BATTLER -- ‘Turning off things like lights and the computer.’ MARILYN WHITE -- ‘We are buying more energy-efficient appliances We also have a thermostat with a timer.’ BRENT LOVELY -- ‘I’ve replaced old bulbs, turned down the furnace, been frugal with the dishwasher and replaced all my windows.’ JENNIFER LE -- ‘We are turning off lights and turning off the water when we brush our teeth We are generally more aware.’ WE ASKED I was at an audition yesterday and ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in some time. In the course of our conversation, he men- tioned that he and his wife were about to start a three-week vacation in Spain. Three weeks in Spain. Flying into Barcelona, travelling around, doing Castile and hang- ing out at a friend’s place in Seville. They might even dart down to Portugal for a bit ... what the heck. I could’ve killed him. But I guess I really should’ve hugged him. He’s a great guy. He’s not a prig, nor is he independently wealthy. He and his wife just like to travel and they make it a prior- ity in their lives. The problem, the reason I wanted to murder him, was that I love to travel, too, but I don’t make it a priority in my life. I’m one of those people who some- how always find a reason to ‘not’ go away. Actors, writers, freelancers, people who live from hand-to-mouth in general, are noto- riously good at this. The thinking gener- ally goes something like this: either I’m not working and we can’t afford it or I am working and I can’t afford to go away and miss the work. It’s an insidious little catch- 22 and it’s madness. Without exception, every time I have made the decision to travel or do some- thing special with my wife, kids or extend- ed family, it has been wonderful. And guess what? The money always appears. We find a way to pay for it. But for some ridiculous reason, this is a lesson that I am very slow to learn. I think most of us are. So many of us spend the bulk of our lives in a very safe, very small orbit. We fill our days with the noisy, clamouring minuti- ae of existing until one morning we wake up and realize years have gone by and still we have not done that thing. We have not taken that trip, not visited that friend, not written that book, not learned that lan- guage or played that instrument. Instead we have paid our bills, watched our televi- sions, mowed our lawns and swept out our garages. I’m not advocating living beyond your means, or dirty garages for that matter, but just living for a change. Really living. Liv- ing boldly, in the technicolour of joy. Not the black and white of monotony, predict- ability and fear. There’s a whole world out there stuffed full of exciting, mind-expand- ing, different experiences. An entire planet of which you and I are entitled citizens. And yet, how many of us have even left this province in the last five years? I will be 50 next month. And while I would say, on balance, my life is a good one, even a happy one, I know there have been too many times when dreams took a back seat to reality. When whimsy and play had to get in line behind practicality and respon- sibility. When the dull comfort of safety was chosen over the tantalizing potential of risk. But looking back, even upon five short decades, the moments that stand out, the peaks I have stood upon, the times when I felt most delighted to be here, were rarely the product of practicality, responsi- bility or duty. They were moments buoyed by the blessed wings of hunch, abandon and audacity. Times when we simply said, ‘damn the torpedoes’. People like my Spain-bound friend remind me of those times. They remind me that I have leapt before and the net has always appeared. Good to know. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

A lot of the times it’s the background of a picture that will set it apart from oth- ers. It’s easy enough to get the subject in focus, but it’s also important to keep in mind all of the other elements of the frame. I made this picture in a differ- ent way than most. When I saw the huge inflatable basketball, I knew I wanted that to fill as much of the frame as pos- sible. Ultimately, I would have liked to get something with a little more action in it but I’m still happy with the result. Ryan Pfeiffer is a photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group RYAN PFEIFFER / BEHIND THE LENS Our website is an extension of the news- papers we put out every week in the com- munities we cover. Everything we write, every picture we take, goes on our website, durhamregion. com, and with just a few exceptions, is on the website before it makes it into print. That can also lead to some new issues we have to deal with. In just the past few months we have had phone calls from people requesting a story about them be removed from our website. In most cases, it is a police story where the person was charged with a crime and they want their name, or the story, removed. The latest call was about a story we did in 2004. The person demanded that we remove his name or he will take us to court. We treat all these requests the same. We do not remove the story or the name because it was factual when the story was written. Most of the time the caller says the charges have been dismissed. We do check, and normally find the charg- es weren’t dismissed but they were dealt with by the courts. When we determine the outcome, we add to the original story, we do not remove it from the website. Often times people come across their names when they do a web search on themselves. They then get nervous, because prospective employers can con- duct the same searches. One man called and said he had been charged a few years ago and was now applying for a position at a police college. We didn’t remove the story and when we checked, he had pleaded guilty. Just like a newspaper, our website is a record of events and people that shape our communities, the good and the bad.

A 22-year-old man was walking past a home on Law- rencetown Street in Ajax around 11:15 p.m. on April 16, when he was accosted by three males and robbed of personal property. The victim was punched repeatedly and suffered minor injuries, but was able to make his way home and call police. Durham Regional Police officers quickly found and arrested three people. Francis Ford, 21, of Emperor Street in Ajax, has been charged with robbery and breaching probation. He was held for a bail hearing. A 17-year-old male from Oshawa has been charged with rob- bery and two counts of breaching probation. A 16-year-old male from Ajax faces charges of robbery, failing to comply with an undertaking and possession of a controlled substance. Both accused were held for bail hearings and their identities are pro- tected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Some say it’s too long, that it negatively impacts the dynamics of municipal councils, with debates and decisions driven more by good poli- tics than good policy. But others say the length of the potential campaign is necessary, to allow newcomers time to make themselves and their platforms known to the voting public. News stories and social media postings over the last several months have pointed to council in-fighting in many Durham municipalities. Take Oshawa council. Local activities have focused on allegations of wrong-doing, slung internally amongst council members, ranging from issues not related to council at all-- an alleged dine-and-dash -- to serious allegations of wrong-doing, including improper use of municipal funds to reimburse a staffer and a councillor for tens of thousands of dollars for them to pursue Masters degrees. Perusal of some politicians’ Facebook pages shows potshots being thrown in that medium as well. Nominations opened for the 2010 municipal election January 4, though voting day isn’t until October 25. Until a candidate is formally declared --- and has filed the required nomination papers in the municipality in which the intend to run --- they cannot begin collecting money to fund their cam- paigns. “I think the campaign is too long and does interfere with the functioning of councils,” said York University Professor Robert MacDermid, who has called for wide-ranging municipal election reforms, including the need to ban corporate, developer and union contributions. But, at the same time, given the lack of party politics at the municipal level, newcomers “won’t have as much time to become known.” Given candidates can -- though not all do -- collect donations from developers and others with a vested interest in the process, “raising money mode can be a period of influence for donors,” contends Prof. MacDermid. Incumbents already have a number of advantages, including name recognition which can lead to easier fundraising, Ryerson Uni- versity journalism Professor April Lindgren said. For a newcomer, the length of the campaign period can be a “double-edged sword,” Prof. Lindgren said. “You need more money to finance the campaign over that period of time, but you do have that time to get out there and get known.” Early in 2010, the Province announced a number of municipal election reforms, including shortening the campaign peri- od by a few weeks, from early November to late October. But that’s not much of a reform, Prof. MacDermid said. “Two to three weeks?” he said. ‘I don’t think it will make much of a difference.” But it does improve matters somewhat, Oshawa Mayor John Gray said, noting campaign signs tended to take a beating over Halloween -- not an issue with the new date. And there is the potential for slightly better weather on election day. “Voter turn-out can be impacted because of the weather on election day,” he said. But, despite the slightly shorter campaign period, some local politicians said the shift to election mode over the last several months has been almost palpable. “I sensed it more than a year ago, that people started to ramp it up,” Mayor Gray said. Oshawa’s council has asked the Province to alter the Municipal Elections Act, to prevent councillors from registering to run prior to March 30. Part of the goal of Councillor John Henry, the motion’s architect, was to take the politics out of passage of budgets, which typically happens in February or March. Durham Council endorsed the recommendation. Scugog’s departing mayor, Marilyn Pearce who serves on Durham Regional Council with Mayor Gray, said the shift to campaign mode “absolutely does” impact the workings of councils. Municipal coun- cils in Ontario, for the first time, are on four year terms, with the Province increasing term length from three years in time for the 2006 election. But many politicians maintain the three-year term mindset, which means they shifted into election mode earlier than they normally would, Mayor Pearce sug- gested. “I could actually feel the shift midway through the third year,” said the mayor, who has announced she won’t seek re-election to her current post. “It’s been going on almost a year, we’ve got half a year to go.” That’s altered dynamics, particularly at the Regional level, she said. “It’s been trying at times to keep work programs moving forward and keeping politics out of it,” she said. The politicizing of issues has seemed to extend to the voting public as well, Mayor Pearce said, pointing to the contentious incinerator issue. Those opposed to the incinerator have made “threats not based on us trying to understand the issues, but rather on, ‘if you don’t take my opinion, we won’t vote or you,’” she said. “It’s been very nasty.” How politicians operate also tends to change during the period leading up to an election, Mayor Pearce said. Outside the election period, a politician might seek out staff, outside a public meeting, to deal with an issue. But, as elections creep closer, there’s a greater likelihood a politician might raise the issue in public as a notice of motion, she suggested. “At one point, I wanted to say to a regional councillor, why don’t you just put your whole platform in a notice of motion and get it over with,” she said with a laugh. “If you look at the number of notices of motion com- ing forward . . . you can watch the number of those escalate” as election day draws nearer. But would moving the start of nominations closer to election day change anything? Mayor Gray isn’t sure. “You could make arguments on both sides,” he said. “But ultimately, no matter what the length of the campaign, incumbents will find ways to ratchet it up” closer to election day. “There’s nothing much you can do about that,” he said. Is election period too long?

Team NeuroFunk raised $1,500 last year and had set the same goal this time around. Its members were blown away when the tally hit $5,730 by Sunday. “If we can raise this much with seven people, imagine what we could do with 10 or 15,” Ms. De Vos said. “I really want to get more people involved. All the money we raise gets us closer to a cure. I really think we’re going to find a cure in my lifetime.” MS is a complex, often disabling, central nervous system disease that has no cure. It attacks myelin, a protective covering wrapped around the nerves of the central nervous sys- tem, resulting in a long list of symptoms that includes loss of balance, dizziness, difficul- ty walking, fatigue, incontinence, difficulty speaking, depression and cognitive impair- ment. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world -- it is the most common neuro- logical disease affecting young adults in this country. “That’s what’s so hard about MS, it strikes people right in the prime of life,” said Oshawa resident Karen Coe, who was man- ning the volunteer table at Sunday’s event. “People who are 26- or 27-years-old and just starting life, just starting a family are hit with this disease.” Ms. Coe, who has been living with MS for 30 years, said it’s the unknown that makes it scary. Some people have debilitating symp- toms soon after being diagnosed, while oth- ers are able to maintain a mostly normal life. This was the 17th year for the walk in Oshawa, which raised $92,562. The Oshawa walk was one of nearly 60 sim- ilar events that took place across Ontario on April 18. Elsewhere in Durham Region, hun- dreds of walkers hit the pavement in Pickering, Bowmanville, Whitby and Uxbridge. Final numbers show a total of 1,814 walkers took part in the five Durham Region walks, raising a total of $383,537 between them. In addition to funding vital research, the MS Society of Canada uses proceeds from the walks to organize support groups, funds MS clinics, advocate for accessibility and provide services to people living with MS. According to the society’s website, $500 is enough to fund one support group, while $1,000 provides someone living with MS with incontinence supplies for one year.

Thursday April 22nd, 2010 10am- 3pm Health-Rite Pharmacy 75 Bayly St. W., Ajax PICKERING from page 1 Pickering and Ajax junior hockey teams merge BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Two of the big- gest foes in junior hockey are now friends. In fact, the on-ice rivalry that existed between the Pickering Pan- thers and Ajax Attack is over, with a new partnership in place that will see the merger of the two hockey clubs. At a board of governors meet- ing of the Ontario Junior Hockey League on April 18, an agreement was reached to reduce the league from 36 to 31 teams for the coming season. Three teams, the Bramalea Blues, Couchiching Terriers and Seguin Bruins have ceased opera- tions immediately. The other reduction came from a couple of mergers, with Pickering and Ajax joining forces and, a little to the east, the Bowmanville Eagles joining the Cougars in Cobourg. Panthers owner John Porco said he and Attack owner Rob Stein had talked over the past season about the possibility of a merger, but nothing of a serious nature. In the last month, those discussions took on a more serious tone, and Fri- day, the two began discussing the benefits of a merge. “The league was in favour of that and felt it was a clearer way of doing it,” said Porco. “We got together and decided to do it that way. “Rob walks into my organization and becomes a partner with myself. Effectively, my current partner will leave and Rob will take his 50-per cent share. We combine the assets of the two teams into one, operat- ing out of Pickering and it makes us strong and healthy.” As part of the merge, Pickering will get to protect 23 players from their existing roster as well as those on the roster of the Attack. The unprotected players are likely to be part of a league dispersal draft. “I think it’s the best thing that could happen to Ajax and Pickering,” said Stein. “It should have always been one team. It’s going to take the talent from two teams, a lot of Ajax kids and a lot of Pickering kids, and put them together.” Sunday afternoon’s meeting lasted four hours, said Porco, not- ing that much of the debate cen- tred around the cost of contracting and the dollar amount each team would be responsible for contrib- uting to the league to pay off the five teams no longer in existence. Stein believes the changes will not only improve the level of junior hockey in the area, but the league as a whole. “We are trying to build this junior league into a great development league for young hockey players,” he said. “There’s a lot of guys who have made a lot of moves that they would not have normally made to help make the league better. That’s the reason why Ajax and Pickering have merged. There’s no other rea- son other than the fact we want to make the league better.” Porco is also excited about what the future holds. “My organization has become stronger. We’re unified under one building that’s great, out of Pickering. I have a strong part- ner that’s prepared to invest in the team. We have a great nucleus of players and we’ve captured the market.” Porco planned to meet with his staff on Tuesday, where it will be business as usual for both the game day and bench staff. “I am not contemplating any changes at this point to any of my staff,” he confirmed. Porco expects the team to submit its list of 23 protected players in the next couple of weeks.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 21, 201017 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com JUNIOR HOCKEY Panthers, Attack join forces NEWS ADVERTISER FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- Action like this between the Pickering Panthers and the Ajax Attack will be a thing of the past after the teams announced a merger at a junior hockey meeting on Sunday in Toronto.

North Alliance Press, the top team in regular sea- son play, matched up with Dickson Printing and were blown out in the second half, losing 53-34. While North Alliance Press led at the half, Dickson Printing outscored them 34-12 in the final half. Dickson Printing’s Phil Guthrie scored a game- high 22 points, Tim Lane scored 14 points and Anto- nio Krupl scored 10 points and hit two key three-point- ers. North Alliance Press’ Calvin Smith had 13 points and John Beyaz nine. The other semifinal game saw No. 2-ranked Phil- lips, Hager and North lose to Michael’s Eatery 40-25. The score at halftime was close with Michael’s Eat- ery leading 15-12, but they stepped on the gas in the second half and outscored Phillips, Hager and North 25-13. Michael’s Eatery’s key to victory was Clin- ton Andrews holding Phil- lips, Hager and North’s top scorer to only two bas- kets, plus balanced scor- ing. Michael’s Eatery’s Roger Young scored 12 points, Roy Bailey and Claude Whitfield had 10 points, and Mike Stoddart and Andrews notched six points. Dickson Printing will now play Michael’s Eatery for the championship. Pickering native a quarterback with Calgary BY BRENT BURRY bburry@durhamregion.com CALGARY -- Pickering native Erik Glavic has been announced as a nominee for CIS male athlete of the year. The University of Calgary football product was named last Wednesday in Calgary as one of eight nominees for the BLG Awards, with the top male athlete winning the Doug Mitchell Trophy and the top female athlete winning the Jim Thompson Trophy. “It’s an honour to be a nominee for the BLG Awards,” said Glavic upon being announced. One male and one female from each of the four CIS regions are nominated, with one male and female ultimately chosen to win the annual award. Winners receive a $10,000 post-sec- ondary scholarship. “This is a huge, huge award and just to be nominated, I couldn’t tell you the number of CIS athletes, but it’s gotta be in the five thousands, and when you narrow it down to four, one of the four (male) top athletes, it’s just amaz- ing to be even nominated,” said Glavic during a confer- ence call. “I don’t think this is an award that you need to win to really be happy about it. I’m just very pleased and very honoured.” Glavic transferred to Cal- gary last year after playing at Saint Mary’s University for four seasons with the Hus- kies. While at Saint Mary’s in 2007, Glavic suffered a seri- ous knee injury that caused him to miss the Vanier Cup that year, and limited him to just one game in the 2008 season. The quarterback is no stranger to awards, winning the Hec Crighton Trophy as the country’s top player in 2007 with Saint Mary’s and again in 2009 with Cal- gary. He is the first player in CIS history to win the award with two different teams. In his first season with the UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS Glavic gets nominated for CIS male athlete of the year CALGARY -- Pickering’s Erik Glavic, a quarterback with the University of Calgary Dinos football team, has been nominated for the CIS male athlete of the year. AJAX MEN’S BASKETBALL LEAGUE Top team upset in semis Dinos, Glavic led the team to its first Vanier Cup appear- ance since 1995. Glavic’s football future is not clear. He was not drafted last year in the CFL, but was invited to and participat- ed in this year’s evaluation camp. “I love playing football, and I’d love to play as long as I can, as long as I’m healthy. Right now actually, both my brothers are playing in Swit- zerland and that might be one route, I go just to play over there with them.” Winners of the awards are selected by the Canadian Athletic Foundation and will be announced in Calgary on April 26. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 21, 201019 AP Career Training Career Training Career Training Careers GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND OFFICE MANAGER needed to help run an established sign shop business.

Shandex Truck is looking for Professional Drivers who just want to work and turn miles. If you'd like to average 2800 miles per week, then we are the company for you. We are looking for drivers who understand the GOOD customer service means, who know how to get directions, who know how to cross the border, who want to put in a full week's work. Most of our inbound loads come back to Shandex distribution cen- tres in Pickering; this means you get to spend more time with your family on weekends. We want drivers who are interested in getting their miles and going home with as little drama as possible. Drivers with FAST cards and 3-5 years of experience would be our ideal candidates. If this sounds like you, and you know if it does or not, contact us immediately and work for a company that is growing, not slowing.

Leading the way for coach Mischa Sommerville’s pro- vincial squad was 12-year- old Ryan Kelly, who swam to three medals (one gold, two bronze) and set three club records. Kelly edged the 11-12 100 butterfly record, set in 1998, by one second, demolished the 200m fly record, set in 1986, by seven seconds, and lowered the 400m individu- al medley record, set also in 1986, by one second. Also winning medals and breaking records for the pro- vincial squad was nine-year- old Aryanna Fernandes, who smashed Olympian Lori Melien’s 10 and under 100m fly record by four sec- onds on her way to a silver medal. Aryanna also picked up bronze medals in the 200m IM and 50m fly. Meanwhile, 11-year-old Alexander Gilchrist placed 7th in the 50m butterfly, and swam to 100-per cent best times. Emily Vandenberg and Gabrielle Harris competed in their first provincials in the 10 and under category, while Vandenberg also scored her first points in the 50m back. Steven Taylor placed in the top 20 in all of his events in the 12-year-old category. Members of the junior national and national squads competed in a reduced event schedule after racing in Otta- wa for the Eastern Canadi- an championships just four days prior. Coach Matt Bell’s squads averaged upwards of 120 points per day of the compe- tition. Leading the way was Zach Fedak, who won three gold and two silver medals, and lowered his own club record in the 200m freestyle in a time of 1:51.40. Fedak also broke the 56- second mark in the 100m fly for the first time, made the senior national standard in the 200m fly and won a thrilling 50m freestyle race in a time of 23.30. Fedak also broke the meet record in the 200m free. Turning many heads at the event was AAC rookie Michael Foster, who set a record in the 50m freestyle, and also made the senior national standard and won a gold medal in the process. Foster also made senior nationals and picked up a silver medal in the 100m butterfly. Meanwhile, Julien Dodu continued his rise through the ranks with a bronze medal swim in the 100m freestyle and appearances in finals in the 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle, all three of which were best times. Also reaching the podium was Robert Gilchrist, who managed one silver and one bronze medal in the butter- fly disciplines, and backstro- ker Curtis Voth in the 200m event, a race in which he has achieved a six-second drop this season and four since January. On the women’s side, Devin Ste. Marie reached AJAX AQUATIC CLUB Swimmers bring home 21 medals the podium three times, winning silver in the 100m free and 200m fly and bronze in the 200m free. Carleigh Barrett dropped seven seconds on the day and making her first senior national qualifying time in the 200m fly. Her time of 2:19.87 also destroyed the club record by three sec- onds and earned her a silver medal. Darelle Cowley showed her versatility by compet- ing in off events all weekend but still reached finals in four swims. Cowley also made finals in the 100m breast- stroke and raced to 5th place in the 200m freestyle with 2:05.89. Also placing in the top eight for AAC was Michelle Fleming in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, and Cas- sidy Blackwin in the 800m and 400m freestyles. AAC wound up in 13th position overall. They brought home 21 med- als, broke six club records and added two more high school-aged athletes to the senior national team roster, upping the club total to 10 this season which is the most in the 50-year history of the club. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 21, 201023 MAKE ONE SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR ALL YOUR DEBTS!
