The low-flying aircraft prompted some readers to call our newsroom seeking an explanation. It was provided by Durham police spokesman Dave Selby, who said the manoeuvres were part of security exercises in advance of the G20 summit taking place in Toronto at the end of June. “It’s pre-planned G20 training with various types of aircraft,” he said. Security for the event is being coordinated by the RCMP and Toronto police. Other police services, such as Durham, will provide personnel for security when the summit occurs June 26 and 27.

It’ll run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. all three days. The FAITH (Further Advancement In Tree Habitats) Project was cre- ated by Faith Gibson when she decided to spread the word about sustainability and the importance of tree habitats. The E.A. Fairman Public School student, actress in her school’s produc- tion of Beauty and the Beast, Girl Guide and sustain- ability advocate first got the idea in order to fulfill a Girl Guide badge requirement. “I think it’s important because since there’s been a lot of construction, they’ve been cutting down a lot of the trees,” Faith said while taking a break from a rehearsal. She’s also an advocate for trees because they give animals a place to live, she said, adding she wants to get involved in ani- mal rescue when she’s older. Faith has been volunteering or raising money for various charities since she was four. “She is very involved that way,” said Faith’s dad, Brad Gibson. Faith received a grant from General Motors of Canada, and has also appeared at the Pickering Markets to raise money for the project. On May 16, she’ll plant 200 trees at Pringle Creek Park in Whitby. But her initiative is far from over. Next year, she has a goal to plant 400 trees, and then 600 in 2012. She’ll have a booth at the Karavan Festival to collect even more donations. Mr. White is glad to help out Faith, his goddaughter. “We thought it was a great project,” he said, adding he hopes to help benefit other local initiatives as much as he can in the future. A game pass will cost $20 on the day of the event or $10 in advance, which can be purchased online. Otherwise, tickets are $1 per play. Organizers are still looking for volunteers and sponsors, and still have spots available for performers.

Shortly after Thursday morning’s verdict, Ms. McIntyre, 28, of Bobcaygeon, was sen- tenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. Calling the killing of Karl O’Reggio “abso- lutely heartless and senseless”, Superior Court Justice David Salmers admonished Ms. McIntyre for her actions. “You can never atone for the needless, life- long harm you have caused,” the judge said. Ms. McIntyre is the third person to be found guilty of the murder of 33-year-old Mr. O’Reggio, who was stabbed to death by two young men who burst into his Tresher Court apartment in 2007. Although she wasn’t physically present when the deadly attack occurred, jurors accepted the Crown theory that Ms. McIntyre was responsible for the kill- ing because she instructed Jonathan Ebanks and Nathan Kelly -- strangers to Mr. O’Reggio -- to carry it out. An audible gasp was heard in the large, sec- ond-floor courtroom as the jury foreperson declared Ms. McIntyre guilty as charged; sev- eral of Mr. O’Reggio’s relatives burst into tears. Ms. McIntyre betrayed no reaction. Jurors, who began hearing evidence in the case in mid-April, had been sequestered since midday May 4 as they deliberated a ver- dict. They considered three options: They could have found Ms. McIntyre guilty of the first-degree murder charge she had been indicted on, or opt for the lesser offences of second-degree murder or manslaughter. During the trial, prosecutors Kent Sali- wonchyk and Indy Kandola portrayed Ms. McIntyre as the driving force behind the bru- tal killing of Mr. O’Reggio, with whom she had been involved in a relationship. Jurors were told that as that relationship deterio- rated, hard feelings developed between the two and that Ms. McIntyre enlisted Mr. Kelly, at the time her 18-year-old boyfriend, and his buddy, Mr. Ebanks, to kill Mr. O’Reggio. Jurors heard that in July of 2007, following an exchange of insulting text messages with the victim, Ms. McIntyre, Mr. Ebanks and Mr. Kelly, along with a 15-year-old girl, drove from Bobcaygeon to Ajax, checking to make sure Mr. O’Reggio was home before parking in an empty school parking lot near his house. Ms. McIntyre directed the two young men to Mr. O’Reggio’s house and instructed Mr. Ebanks to be prepared to use the large knife he’d come armed with, jurors heard. Mr. Ebanks testified as a reluctant Crown witness, admitting it was he who repeatedly plunged the knife into Mr. O’Reggio’s chest as Mr. Kelly held the victim in a choke hold. But when pressed by the prosecution about Ms. McIntyre’s role in the plot he clammed up, refusing to answer any more questions. Both Mr. Ebanks and Mr. Kelly pleaded guilty to second-degree murder prior to Ms. McIntyre’s trial and were sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 16 years. Following the verdict, Justice Salmers sen- tenced Ms. McIntyre to the obligatory sen- tence of life with no parole for 25 years. The judge noted the Criminal Code allows Ms. McIntyre to apply for a review of her sentence after 15 years; the provision is commonly referred to as the “faint hope clause”.

Perfect timing, as we reach midpoint in the great flood of songbirds streaming through Dur- ham Region from their wintering grounds. I can’t think of anything more exciting to celebrate. According to the website www.worldmi- gratorybirdday.org, communities around the planet are paying tribute to our migrat- ing birds with everything from art shows to nature hikes to habitat clean-ups. And hopefully, lots of birding. How can we celebrate, with no time to get an event organized? How about stepping out the back door for a five-minute “song- fest” -- listening to each song you hear and trying to pinpoint the source? Or go for a walk in the nearest creek valley or nature reserve and count how many different spe- cies of birds you see or hear. To protect migrating birds locally, why not tack fine gardening netting in front of your picture windows to stop fatal colli- sions, or put up CollidEscape decals? And keep your cat indoors. Because the United Nations has declared 2010 the “Interna- tional Year of Biodiversity,” the theme for this year’s Migration Day is Save migratory birds in crisis -- every species counts.” I can’t help thinking of a few special long-distance migrants en route to breed- ing grounds in Durham Region this very moment. Indigo buntings winter from cen- tral Mexico to Panama, in Cuba and the Bahamas. Having male indigos show up at their feeder is a high point of many peo- ple’s year; they’re such a beautiful blue in the sunlight. Buntings can be found at the edge of woods and along shrubby fencer- ows, wherever there’s brushy habitat for the female to build her cup-shaped twig- and-grass nest, and tall trees for the male to perch atop and sing his slow, buzzy, paired descending notes. Scarlet tanagers winter in tropical for- ests in northwestern South America -- what forests are left in Bolivia, Peru and Colombia. You can see the stunning crim- son-coloured males with their crisp black wings, and the greenish-yellow females, in the tops of just-leafing-out trees at migra- tion hotspots, but soon they’ll be invisible in the canopy of Uxbridge, Ganaraska and Long Sault forests, located only by their raspy, “robin with a sore throat” song. Bobolinks are another long-distance flier, commuting from the pampas of north- ern Argentina to grasslands in southern Canada. Look for them in pastures across the south face of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Increasingly early mowing of hayfields and intensive corn production for the etha- nol boondoggle are causing havoc with all grassland birds. So when you hear the bub- bling waterfall of notes of a bobolink, and see a handsome male perched on a mul- lein stalk, its midnight plumage marked with white wings and a buff-yellow patch on its head, be sure to stop and pay trib- ute.

Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far- flung corners of the planet. This weekend is strictly for the (migratory) birds Margaret Carney New tiles added to our nation’s cultural mosaic Canada’s population swelled by 50 last weekend at a special ceremony in Dur- ham. The new Canadians were on hand with several dignitaries and Whitby residents at a citizenship ceremony held as part of National Youth Week organized locally by the Whitby Youth Council. They came from far and wide, these new Canadians, brimming with hope and high expectations to build a new life for their families. The citizenship ceremony wel- comed them from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, China, the United States and the Philippines. Durham Region residents, too, should celebrate and embrace these newest mem- bers of the Canadian cultural mosaic. We welcome them, encourage them to honour and recognize their cultural traditions in their adopted homeland, and wish them the very best this country has to offer. Just as they share differences with one another, they share cultural differences with fellow Canadians. But these do not separate us, they unite us. Let us recognize what it is that distinguishes each of us and draw strength from that diversity. Canada is recognized the world over as a nation of stability, peace and abundance. We have welcomed new citizens from all corners of the globe and encourage them to assimilate as they see fit. But it’s true that we all share common values in Cana- da. We must respect those values as Cana- dians, while continuing to embrace the traditions that make each culture unique. As citizenship Judge Philip Gaynor noted to the citizenship inductees, they are encouraged to “love the old country ... love Canada more.” Congratulations are due to these families who have opted to choose Canada as their new home. It takes courage to leave one’s homeland and start anew. But they must know that they have cho- sen wisely. Canada continues to evolve as a nation but does so with quiet, orderly confidence. We must continue to celebrate and grow with our differences, celebrate the diversity that makes us the envy of nations around the world, and which iden- tifies us as the true north, strong and free. Finally, we say to the citizenship induct- ees: Welcome to Canada. We grow with you and support your efforts to contrib- ute to our collective betterment. We’re all in this together now and we’ve got some work to do.

About 25 women, mostly from Pickering and Ajax, answered the ad, and a team of four writers developed a questionnaire and set about interviewing them. The timing was perfect, as it was The Year of the War Bride in Canada. But the women, to a person, won- dered what all the fuss was about. “They were uniformly stunned that anyone was interested,” recalls Barbara Pleva, one of four writers who created Distant Shores: The Extraordinary War Brides! “And every woman began by saying, ‘my story isn’t particularly inter- esting’.” The stories were interesting, fas- cinating in fact, and the low-key attitude of the women is typical of what has been called “the great- est generation.” These are women, Pleva notes, who didn’t whine and complain when things got tough. They carried on; they were on a mission, even managing to find some fun in the darkest days of the Second World War. One, on her way to Canada, had her boat struck by a German torpedo. Another served as a driver for Brit- ish General Bernard Montgomery, whose reputation was made fight- ing the Afrika Corps in Africa. After the interviews, the writ- ers, Pleva and Julie Oakes, Saman- tha Williams and Angela Steyn, all from Backwoods Players at the Pickering Museum Village, set about writing, condensing all they had heard and everyone they had met into three key characters for War Brides, first performed in February 2007. The premise is that three old women get together at the Legion hall every year to remi- nisce and, in a series of flashbacks, we learn about their experiences. The real brides were feted when the play debuted, and Pleva and her fellow writers were obviously most interested in their reaction to the play. “They just hugged us and said, ‘you got it right’,” Pleva recalls. Pleva says that across North America, 8,000 Second World War veterans die every day. “We need to hear these sto- ries before it’s too late,” she says. “There is urgency.” The play is a part of the Durham Theatre Festival. Tickets are $20. The hall is just south of Hwy. 7. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 7, 201015 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comEntertainment THEATRE Stories from ‘the greatest generation’ ART SHOW Pickering artist’s exhibition on in Ajax to end of May MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Kay Hubbard gets into the zone when she works. “When I paint ... there’s not a single, solitary person who can get to me,” says the Pickering artist. “I’m just there with the colours and the canvas and the think- ing about the light and the dark going on in the picture.” She’s showing her work at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax until May 31. Hubbard used to do tex- tile work and tapestry weav- ing but watercolour painting “took over” and is her medium of choice. She has learned from many artists, including Picker- ing’s Hi-Sook Barker and Shel- ley Beach, formerly of Pickering, who became “a mentor.” And while Hubbard is an accomplished artist in her own right, she’s also her own tough- est critic, always learning, experimenting with and search- ing for a different technique or style. Where one painting will be quite detailed, at least for a watercolour, another will be much looser in style. Nature, and especially the area around her cottage, is a source of inspiration and portrayed in much of her work. “That’s the best place to work,” she says of the cottage. “There’s a peaceful relaxation up there. I like to paint early in the morn- ing at the cottage.” Where she grew up, in rural Illinois, was an early inspira- tion. Apart from the thrill of, for example, going through a dilap- idated barn and seeing all the interesting things inside, there was the sky. “If you look at the sky in Illi- nois, the horizon seems to go on forever,” Hubbard says. She often works from photo- graphs she has taken or that she has borrowed from someone else. “You need a reference point,” Hubbard says. “You can work from imagination, but a refer- ence point is useful.” The show features roughly 30 works, painted within the last few years. “I strive to show that water- colour landscapes are dramat- ic and rich in colour contrasts, like life,” she says in her artist’s statement. “This show is about the seasons. It is amazing to me that we spend a lot of time in one season longing for the next. Or some actually leave this sea- son to experience another one - - no longer wanting winter snow or harsh temperatures.” Each season brings new colours and landscapes and creating a painting, whatever the time of year, “is a valuable healing experience,” she states. The public can see Hubbard’s work during regular centre hours.

Strung-Out Troubadours, fea- turing guitarist Rik Emmett, will be its final show, on May 8 at Oshawa Little Theatre. However, there is a chance another concert series will be offered in the future. “A combination of factors,” DRCA president Rick Kerr said in an interview. “Not unlike some businesses today and arts groups, unfortunately, a combination of the economy, rising artists’ fees and, I suppose, us trying to hold the line on (ticket prices). “Dwindling audiences due to the economy is another factor,” Kerr added. Kerr has received several e- mails from concert-goers express- ing sadness that the DRCA is end- ing. But he said there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. A profes- sor at Durham College, he has also acted and directed at Oshawa Little Theatre. He has an upcom- ing meeting to discuss a partner- ship between the DRCA, the col- lege and OLT. His idea is to bring the DRCA to OLT and turn the latter into “a wonderful working lab” for music business manage- ment students at the college. Kerr stressed that it’s still an idea at this point and not set in stone. What is guaranteed, however, is that the DRCA’s demise will ben- efit the students. At the end of the DRCA season, the remaining funds will be used to create a bur- sary, either an expendable one or one in perpetuity, named after the DRCA. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 7, 201016 AP Xplicit Night Club opened their doors on Feb 12th 2010.”We wanted to build a “Toronto” club in Durham and that’s exactly what we did in Ajax,” says owners Joe and Tony.

ADVERTISING FEATURE END OF THE LINE Concert Association’s last show May 8 in Oshawa FAST FACTS M ore than just a rocker OSHAWA -- Rik Emmett made his name as the lead guitarist in Triumph. And while die-hard rock ‘n’ rollers might have lost track of him after Triumph broke up, the Juno Hall of Famer hasn’t stopped making music.

RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND A good read PICKERING -- Grade 1 student Cameron Drummond read a book by flashlight during Poetry Night at Rosebank Road Public School last month. RIK EMMETT Pickering players trying to qualify national team for 2011 World Cup SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Guyana national women’s soccer roster has quite the Pickering feel to it. Five players, including four starters and a technical director, all with ties to the Pickering Soc- cer Club, are representing the green, yellow and red of Guyana en route, they hope, to a spot in the 2011 World Cup. “That’s the ultimate goal and I am confident we’re going to get there,” says Mark Rodrigues, Guyana’s technical director and a former coach at Pickering. Should Guyana accomplish that goal, the team’s Pickering contingent will play a large role led by starters Briana and Kayla DeSouza, Ashley Rodrigues and Mariam El-Masri. When Mark Rodrigues first latched on to the Guyana nation- al program, his search for play- ers of Guyanese descent began and it’s no surprise, he says, that the search brought him back to Pickering more than once. “It’s quite a hot bed for soccer and I think even Canada needs to look at it a little more closely,” says Rodrigues, who was with the team this week as they spent a few days training in Pickering in preparation for next week’s second round of qualifying in Trinidad. “Four out of the five have earned starting spots and that again shows the quality of what is coming out of Pickering. “I didn’t teach them to play the way they are playing right now. Someone out of Pickering had to have done that,” he adds with a laugh. For Ashley Rodrigues, Mark’s daughter, going through this experience with Guyana has so far been an experience to cher- ish, she says. “It’s amazing. Not many people get the opportunity to do this, represent a country and play the sport they love,” she notes. “We do and we’re definitely going to take advantage of it.” Rodrigues has played at a high level before. The former St. Mary Catho- lic Secondary School student is wrapping up her senior year on a soccer scholarship at East- ern Michigan University, so the pressure of being a starter at the national level shouldn’t be too much to handle. Meanwhile, Ashley Savona, currently the only member of the five who hasn’t earned a starting spot yet, says the most amazing part of the experience has been seeing what their presence and efforts have done in Guyana. “Going down there for the first time and seeing what a big dif- ference we can make, just for the country itself. It brings up so many more opportunities, not just for us, but the people of Guyana. “We’re spreading the word around (about Guyana),” she says. Savona is a the youngster of the group at just 17. As for the DeSouza sisters, Kayla and Briana, who resisted the lure to head south and play at a U.S. college and instead hooked up with the University of Toronto and Carleton Univer- sity respectively, they are enjoy- ing the opportunity at hand. “We get to travel, go through crazy training sessions. Peo- ple are always asking about it. It’s great,” Kayla says following a practice session at Kinsmen Park. Briana adds: “It’s a big deal. I never pictured myself going this far and I am sure a lot of people here haven’t, but we’re giving it 100 per cent. “We’re all working hard for the same goal. It’s a great experi- ence.” And it should continue to be great. Guyana is unbeaten to date in international play and the expectation is that the team will keep the streak going in their quest to get to the World Cup finals, which will be held in Ger- many. “We’re giving it our all and hopefully we’ll make it to the World Cup,” says El-Masri.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 7, 201017 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com SOCCER Guyana taps into talent SQUASH Jeffrey wins Ontario junior silver title Ajax teen tops in U15 division after winning final match PICKERING -- Pickering Squash Club’s Jean-Claude Jeffrey of Ajax capped off a stellar squash season with a championship title. The 14-year-old, Grade 9 stu- dent at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax won the U15 age category of the Head-sponsored Ontario junior silver squash championships, defeating Scott VanDeursen of the Granite Club in Toronto by a score of 3-1 in the final match. The tournament was held at the Fabulous Fitness Racquet Club in Concord and featured 130 entrants from across the prov- ince. The previous weekend, Jeffrey had placed 6th at the Ontario junior open championship in Niagara Falls and headed into the silver championship with confidence from the strong showing. Having moved to Ajax in 2008 with his squash-playing fam- ily from Guyana, Jeffrey found the junior programs at both the Pickering Recreation Com- plex and Fabulous Fitness have improved his play significantly. The talented junior also won the Pickering Squash Club men’s B championship during the week. Next year, his goal is to improve on his game enough to attend junior nationals. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING --Ashlee Savona, 17, Kayla De Souza, 20, Briana De Souza, 18, Mariam El-Masri, 18, and Ashley Rodrigues, 21, are all members of the Guyana national women’s soccer team.They were all involved with the Pickering Soccer Club at some point in their careers.

NEWS ADVERTISER CALL THE SPORTS DESK 905 579 4400 ext. 2254 BASEBALL Indians, Pirates ready for first pitch of season Ajax, Pickering open Ontario Select Baseball Association season this weekend BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Ajax Indians and Pickering Pirates are ready to get at it. The two teams will kick off their respective Ontario Select Baseball Association seasons this week- end, with the Indians staying home to host the Whitby Chiefs in a doubleheader on Saturday, while the Pirates will be on the road for a pair of games in Forest Glen against the Giants on Sun- day. The Indians are looking to build on a positive finish to the 2009 campaign. Although finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 10-13-3, their success came in the post-season, upsetting their geographic rivals from Pickering before losing to the Brooklin Dodgers in the semi- finals. Mike Kitevski, taking over as general manager after serving as field manager for the ball club the last three years, is optimistic about the new season. “Having gone to the semifinals the last two years, our goal this year is the finals,” he says, adding great pitching and timely hitting will be the key this season. The Indians have lost a couple of players in Rob Patterson and Mike Grieve, who have joined the Intercounty Baseball League. The team will have a new direction on the diamond with Mike Snider taking over as manager. Key play- ers the ball club will be leaning on this season include catcher/ pitcher Jamie Tessier, pitcher/first baseman Chris Theodoru, all-star centre fielder Ryan Gordon and infielder Graeme Findlay. Saturday’s games against Whitby will be played at 4 and 6:30 p.m. at the Ajax Sportsplex. The Pirates have something to prove after winning the Eastern Conference regular season pen- nant for the second season in a row in 2009 with a mark of 16-9- 1. In 2008, they lost in the league finals to Burlington, and made an early exit last year at the hands of Ajax. “We’ve done really well in the regular season in the last two years,” says field manager Phil Lacombe, who is back for his fifth season. “We’re very optimistic about this year to repeat that per- formance (of 2009) but to make a deeper run in the playoffs and compete for the championship.” To help with that, the club has added some depth at pitching, welcoming Mike Robinson and Tyler Mandzuk and utility player Andrew Cartier, who join a ros- ter that returns 14 players from last season. The team will also be counting on second base- man Ryan D’Souza and assistant coach and team captain Romeo Persaud, who patrols right field. Following Sunday’s season opener in Forest Glen, the Pirates will host the Vaughan Vikings on Sunday, May 16 in the home opener, with games at 2:30 and 5 p.m. at Kirkey Field. The teams play a 28-game regu- lar season.

Oshawa, ON MOBILE SHOWROOM Readers’ Choice Winner PHOTO BY WILLIAM MEIJER PICKERING -- Dustin Giglio, right, of the Pickering Power U15 Gold, battled for position against a player on the U14 provincial team dur- ing a recent friendly. SOCCER Pickering holds its own U15, U16 teams play friendlies PICKERING -- Pickering’s POWER Turf Field at Kinsmen Park has been busy of late with Pickering Power teams playing friendlies with other teams and clubs. Recently, the Pickering Power Gold U15 team, coached by Ramin Mohammadi, took the field in a friendly match against the U14 provincial boys. The boys took on the challenge and impressed the audience with a well-matched game. “I personally thank the Ontario Soccer Association and their play- ers for the exhibition game,” stat- ed club head coach Tony LaFerr- ara. “The boys were fantastic and we are thrilled that these players represent the foundation for our future growth and success of soc- cer in Ontario.” Second to take the pitch was Pickering’s Power OYSL U16 girls, coached by Paul Deabreu, play- ing the U14 provincial team. “Playing the provincial girls was a great experience for our players, especially as the provincial team has two of our own Pickering players, Dominique Bond-Flasza and Sienna Maxwell. Pre-season exhibition games are a great way for teams to train before the reg- ular league games,” said LaFerr- ara. “Having a turf field available to our members ensures that the development of our players hap- pens right here at home.” Both teams continue throughout the month to prepare for the new season. Once the season kicks off, their Pickering home matches will take place at Kinsmen Park Power Field in Pickering. Pickering Soccer Club runs rec- reational, all-stars, competitive, goalkeeper/referee programs, academy, futsal, clinics and adult programs.
