AJAX -- An Ajax man who intimately knows
the importance of an MRI will be swinging his
clubs at a charity golf tournament for the Ajax-
Pickering hospital’s MRI fund and for the Brain
Tumour Foundation of Canada on Sept. 24.
After months of waiting for a diagnosis, Bill
Manners was told in 2009 he had multiple malig-
nant brain tumours. The tumours are inoper-
able, but he has received cancer treatment with
the hope of shrinking the tumours.
Following his diagnosis, he organized a the
first-ever Bill Manners Charity Golf Tournament
with proceeds supporting the foundation. He
raised $18,000.
“The Brain Tumour Foundation has a support
group in Ajax; they say it’s rare, but we have 20 to
30 people come out to every meeting,” he said.
The funds also support research on brain can-
cer.

Mark Holland introduced
motion to kill private
member’s bill looking
to scrap registry
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland is
celebrating a big parliamentary victory after a
motion he introduced killed a private mem-
ber’s bill designed to scrap Canada’s long-
gun registry.
The Liberals, Bloc Quebecois and some
members of the NDP banded together to kill
the bill and won in a narrow 153-151 vote in
Ottawa on Wednesday.
Mr. Holland, who is the public safety and
national security critic for the Liberals, spear-
headed the campaign to save the registry,
spending 18 months on the project.
“I’ve been touring the country and real-
ly trying to promote why the registry is so
important,” he said.
The long-gun registry was introduced in
1995 and suffered massive cost over-runs in
its implementation. In May 2009, Conserva-
tive Candice Hoeppner introduced a bill to
scrap the registry.
Currently, the registry costs $4 million per
year to run, said Mr. Holland.
“When you consider a complex mur-
der investigation costs about $2 million, it’s
money will spent.”
Mr. Holland added an overwhelming num-
ber of police chiefs support the registry. He
cited domestic violence cases as one area
where it’s important for police to know how
many guns are in a home.
“It’s the fact that once they deal with the vio-
lent situation and the men and the woman
are back in the home, they can remove the
weapons, know how many are there and take
them away,” he said.
Mr. Holland said many gun crimes are
spontaneous and police removing guns in a
volatile situation can prevent deaths. It’s also
useful in cases where a person is suspected of
being suicidal.
As he toured the country and spoke
to groups, he said many people initially
approached him with hostility, upset that he
was trying to save the registry. But once they
heard from women’s groups and police, peo-
ple would change their minds.
“I think people would walk away going OK,
I get it now,” he said.
Women’s groups particularly told mov-
ing stories about victims of violence and Mr.
Holland said when it comes to gun violence,
women are twice as often victims of long-gun
violence than handgun violence.
Locally, Mr. Holland says he’s received lots
of support. “I’ve been really encouraged, I
can’t think of an issue where I’ve gotten more
positive feedback.”

Ajax company
will handle
discarded placards
DURHAM -- The Region is on Target to
recycling municipal election signs.
If approved by regional council on Oct.
6, Durham will have an election sign
recycling program with Target Recycling
Services of Ajax.
All election signs, no matter what they
are made of, will be recycled. The signs
can be dropped off at any of three waste
management facilities.
Works commissioner Cliff Curtis told
the works committee on Wednesday that
the only restriction is the signs have to
be election ones.
“If you can make it into an election
sign, they’ll take it,” Mr. Curtis said. “If
it’s an election sign, they’ll take it.”
The election is on Oct. 25 and signs
could be dropped off at the facilities
from Oct. 28 to Nov. 30.
The signs can be dropped off for free,
provided the load is only signs. If signs
are mixed with other waste materials,
the regular disposal fee of $120 per 1,000
kilograms would apply.
Mr. Curtis said after the signs are col-
lected, they would be hauled to the Tar-
get site in Ajax.
A staff report to the committee noted
the program would be “cost neutral” for
Durham. There would be an expense
to haul the signs to the Target site, but
a savings by not having to dispose of
them.
“We operate as a flow through,” Mr.
Curtis noted. “We’ll have containers at
our recycling centres.”
The waste management facilities are
in Oshawa, on Ritson Road north of
Taunton Road, in Port Perry at 1623
Reach St., and in Brock Township on
Sideroad 17.
Municipal clerks will be notified of the
program and they will let the candidates
know about the program.

Ajax businesses Feed the Need
AJAX -- A group of Ajax businesses celebrated their customers and worked to sup-
port Durham’s food banks at a recent event. Businesses owners in a Ringer Road
plaza collected food Sept. 18 for Feed the Need Durham, an organization which dis-
perses food to local food banks. Pictured were Merle Cole, board president for FTND,
Saleena Hemraj from Telus, Allyce Mutungi from Cartridge World and Dennis Hebert
of the UPS Store. Staff from the businesses will also canvass the neighbourhood this
Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for food donations.
DURHAM -- Two suspects have been
arrested in a wide-ranging fraud oper-
ation that bilked banks of more than
$100,000.
The accused man and woman
have been linked to other sus-
pects already investigated and
charged by Durham police.
Durham fraud cops allege
the criminal organization has
defrauded multiple financial
institutions of millions of dollars.
Officers working with Royal Bank
of Canada corporate security staff gath-
ered evidence that indicates two suspects
opened 23 banks accounts using fraud-
ulent identification, then used the
accounts to deposit and draw cash on
altered and stolen cheques. Affected
branches were in the GTA, Lon-
don, Ottawa and the Barrie area,
police allege.
RBC sustained a loss
of $100,000 and police have
recovered evidence that indi-
cates several other banks were
affected.
Britney Dacosta, 21, and 24-year-
old Kelvin Eholor, of Brampton, face
fraud-related charges.

If any of my Twitter followers were re-direct-
ed to a unsavoury site on Tuesday, I swear
it’s not my fault. Like thousands of others, I
logged onto Twitter in the morning before
coming to work. Things looked strange with
giant letters floating on my screen and some
of the people I was following tweeting weird
links or black bars.
It didn’t take long before my account was
tweeting similar junk.
It turns out spammers had exploited a secu-
rity flaw that temporarily allowed JavaScript,
a programming language, in tweets. The bug
used mouseovers to launch new windows or
create spam tweets for people who accessed
their Twitter account from the company’s
website. This particular vulnerability didn’t
affect people using smart phones or third-
party programs like TweetDeck or HootSuite
to access their accounts.
Users didn’t have to click on anything;
simply running their mouse over a problem
tweet caused problems. Apparently, this par-
ticular flaw could have also led to people’s
account information being stolen and pass-
words reset. Fortunately, I haven’t heard of
that occurring and Twitter fixed the problem
within hours.
Still, when the spam ran rampant, people
like Sarah Brown, the British Prime Minis-
ter’s wife, unwittingly tweeted links to porn
sites. I may have as well, who knows?
Twitter has wiped the spam bonanza away.
Still, it’s almost inevitable that spammers will
find another way to compromise Twitter and
other social media sites in the near future.
Facebook had problems over the years
as well. In August, spammers used the chat
function to spread malicious links with the
conversation starting with the phrase: “LOL
is this you?”
The issue was addressed quickly, but pop-
ular sites like Twitter and Facebook remain
constant targets. The sites consistently
upgrade or face becoming irrelevant and
that’s when flaws are generally exposed.
If Facebook didn’t allow third-party appli-
cations, it would be a lot easier to control
spam, but third-party applications are part
of the fun of Facebook. Whether it’s games or
an app to build a family tree or track a diet,
Facebook users love customizing their expe-
rience through applications.
Frankly, removing them would take a lot of
fun out of the site.
Still, it’s important both Facebook and
Twitter remain vigilant, because nothing
kills a popular social media site more quickly
than uncontrolled spam.
Ultimately, every time a door is closed to
spammers, they’ll find another way to get in.
All users will at some point find themselves
vulnerable. As a result, it’s worth it for people
to become familiar with some of the com-
mon ways spammers target people online
(IQ tests, weight loss ads and so on) and care-
fully choose what links they click on, even if it
comes from a trusted source.
Most importantly, keep your computer’s
anti-virus software updated and scan your
system regularly.
And remember, spammers exist because
among the millions of messages they send
out daily, a miniscule fraction result in some-
one handing over money. Don’t let it be you.

Security flaw exploited, chaos caused in the Twitterverse
Reka Szekely
The annual United Way fundraising
campaign kicked off in Durham Region
this week, taking flight with the annual
Wingfest celebration in Oshawa.
The umbrella agency forms part of the
social safety net that exists for Durham
residents who have fallen on hard times,
who need help for housing, food, or other
social supports. Its member agencies are
the threads that bind the safety net and
help thousands of people in need every
year in communities across the region.
This year marks a new beginning for
the United Way: it is nearing completion
of a process to create one umbrella agen-
cy serving all of Durham Region. That
will help streamline the giving process,
allow United Way officials to more effi-
ciently and expeditiously allocate funds
to member agencies, and create a larger,
one-stop pool of resources to assist Dur-
ham residents in need.
But at is core, little has changed. Unit-
ed Way still has as its primary focus the
needs of Durham. It relies on the gen-
erosity of business leaders, community
groups and individuals to provide the
supports for those in need, and sets pri-
orities for funding.
Chances are you know someone who
has been touched by the United Way.
Whether an elderly neighbour who uses
the services of Meals on Wheels, the
troubled youth seeking direction and
purpose, the single parent struggling to
make the rent and feed the children, or
the unemployed resident seeking work,
the United Way provides them with the
supports they may need.
The common refrain is that the United
Way provides a hand up and not a hand-
out. That, too, lies at the core of its exis-
tence. Through its agencies, the United
Way provides important temporary relief
and services for people where govern-
ment cannot. But its agencies also pro-
vide tools and opportunities for individ-
uals to recover from setbacks, improve
job prospects, cope with mental illness,
or link individuals with permanent hous-
ing.
The 2010 United Way campaign hopes
to see Durham Region residents and
business combine their efforts to raise
$250,000 in new money this year, above
last year’s total of $2.2 million.
Consider a workplace campaign, or
one in your neighbourhood. Individual
donations are always welcome and busi-
ness can combine entertaining fundrais-
ers with team building.
Every dollar helps and every dollar
adds up.
Together, we can help push the 2010
campaign goal over the top and help
people in need -- that friend, that neigh-
bour, the troubled youth, the single par-
ent.

campaign for the Ajax-Pickering hospital.
When he was being diagnosed, Mr.
Manners said he was forced to wait three
months for an MRI, leaving him feeling
trapped.
“It’s frustrating for the patient, it’s frus-
trating for the doctor to have to wait that
long and we need one out here for sure,”
said Mr. Manners, adding that it’s a relief
to finally get a diagnosis. An MRI machine
is used to diagnose many types of injuries
and conditions, including sports-related
injuries.
The golf tournament is on Sept. 24 at
the 4 Seasons Golf and Country Club in
Pickering. The club is located just east of
Brock Road on Concession 8, about four

It will be $135 per golfer, including lunch,

PICKERING -- The boundaries defining
Pickering’s wards could get shaken up in the

At the last council meeting of this term,

staff to investigate the process for a ward
boundary and governance model review for
the 2014 municipal election.
City clerk Debbie Shields said staff will put
together the information to see if it’s worth an
investigation in time for the 2011 budget.
“At that point, they’ll decide whether they
want it approved,” she said.
This would allow for the hiring of an inde-
pendent consultant to review ward bound-
aries and to investigate regional councillors
being elected at large.
The current ward boundaries were deter-
mined about 35 years ago, and Coun. John-
son noted Pickering continues to grow.
“It’s time that we at least examine it,” he
said.
He also said the issue of ward sizes has
become apparent in his being named the big-
gest spender in Pickering by the News Adver-
tiser. Ward 3 is 10 to 15 times bigger in geo-
graphic size than wards 1 and 2, he pointed
out, and it has a population that’s 30 per cent
higher than the other wards as well.
“If expenses is such a big thing, how can you
compare three different ward councillors if
the wards are different sizes?” he said.
All members of council supported the
endeavour except for Ward 1 City Council-
lor Jennifer O’Connell and Ward 2 Regional
Councillor Bill McLean.
Coun. O’Connell said she has no problem
with the boundary change, but felt it’s prema-
ture since Duffin Heights and Seaton are still
largely in planning stages.
“I think the best time is when we actually
have those numbers or when we know what
Seaton is going to look like,” she said.
Mayor Dave Ryan felt it isn’t premature to
investigate but is proactive thinking for the
City, and suggested the new group of council-
lors next term be briefed on the possibility as
soon as possible.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley
spoke against at-large regional representa-
tion, arguing citizens should “know who they
can go to and who they can hold account-
able” on regional issues.
Coun. Johnson said while boundaries are
important from a local perspective on issues
such as community projects, it’s a “different
kettle of fish” at the Region, where councillors
often focus on Pickering as a whole.
“When you’re at the regional level, you have
to look at it from a Pickering perspective,” he
said.
He expects the public to get involved.
“I would 100 per cent support public con-
sultation through this process,” he said.

PICKERING -- Thanks to a grant from PetSmart
Charities of Canada last year, a number of felines
in need of new homes are ready to be adopted.
The $10,000 grant led to a policy change at
the City that would see all of its cats sterilized
prior to adoption. Since then, Animal Services has
been able to sterilize more than 100 cats. The only
exceptions were the few that were too small or not
medically fit for the procedure.
For the rest of September, Animal Services is
running its satellite adoption facility at PetSmart at
1899 Brock Rd. The adoption rate is $100 and all
pets are sterilized, microchipped and dewormed
with their first set of vaccines.

Exciting races for October
municipal election
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The gates have opened and the
races for the upcoming municipal election in
Pickering are on.
The cut-off for new candidates to sign up has
passed, and Pickering has a number of inter-
esting races in store to make up the next term
of council.
Pickering residents will head to the polls on
Oct. 25 to choose the best candidates to rep-
resent their community on Pickering and
regional councils.
Only one candidate has been guaranteed
a seat: Regional Councillor Bill McLean was
acclaimed when no one signed up to run
against him in Ward 2.
Three have signed up for the mayoral race:
newcomer Ken Nash, current Mayor Dave
Ryan and former Ward 1 Regional councillor
Maurice Brenner, who lost his seat to Coun-
cillor Bonnie Littley in 2006. Mayor Ryan and
Mr. Brenner have sat on council together in
the past, and are no strangers to each other
in the courts. Mr. Brenner was charged in
2006 with fraud and after he was acquitted, he
launched a legal suit against the City, Durham
Regional Police and Mayor Ryan, saying false
allegations destroyed his political career. Mr.
Brenner recently dropped the suit.
Another interesting race involves the only
two women on council, current Ward 1 City
Councillor Jennifer O’Connell and Ward 1
Regional Council incumbent Bonnie Littley.
Coun. O’Connell has chosen to abandon her
City council position and challenge Coun.
Littley for a seat at the Region. They have no
other challengers.
Vying for the Ward 1 City Council seat are
former councillor Kevin Ashe, who lost to
Coun. O’Connell in 2006, and Sherry Croteau,
current Durham District School Board trust-
ee. Newcomers James Blair, Rob McCaig and
Joe Przybylo help make up the largest race in
Pickering.
Ward 2 City Council incumbent Doug Dick-
erson has three challengers: Garth Atkinson,
Pasquale Malandrino and Ian Cumming.
David Pickles, Ward 3 City Council incum-
bent, is facing three challengers: Laurissa
Hraiki, Brian Evely and Michael Odle.
Only one candidate, Peter Rodrigues, has
chosen to take on Ward 3 Regional Councillor
incumbent Rick Johnson.
There are some strong school board races,
but residents will notice just one spot for a
Pickering Durham Catholic District School
Board trustee in the upcoming term, as
opposed to two in the past.
Residents can cast their votes in advance at
the Pickering Civic Complex, One The Espla-
nade, on Oct. 15 from noon to 6 p.m., Oct. 16
from noon to 6 p.m., Oct. 18 from noon to 8
p.m., and Oct. 19 from noon to 8 p.m.
Polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on
voting day, Oct. 25. To ensure you are on the
voters list, and to find out where to vote, visit
the City’s website.
Those unable to attend a voting location
may appoint another person as a voting proxy
to vote on their behalf. They have to fill out a
form available at the clerk’s department, locat-
ed on the second floor at the Pickering Civic
Centre, open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mon-
day to Friday.

ON THE HUSTINGS:
Maurice Brenner and Mayor Dave
Ryan are battling for the mayoral job
only now, as their duel in the courts has
officially ended.
Mr. Brenner dropped his multi-
million lawsuit against the mayor and
others this week. The former Ward 1
Regional councillor launched a $10-
million lawsuit against Mayor Ryan, the
City of Pickering, the Durham Police
Services Board and others, alleging
false allegations of fraud destroyed
his political career. Mr. Brenner was
charged when he was on council in
2006 with allegations of fraud and later
lost the election to current councillor
Bonnie Littley.
The charges against him were
later dismissed in June of 2007 when a
judge found a lack of evidence.
Mr. Brenner chose to drop his law-
suit because he’s found through cam-
paigning “My reputation is very intact.”
There no longer seems to be a
need to clear his name, he said.
“I’m satisfied that the people know
the true story,” he told the News Adver-
tiser.
At the same time, Mayor Ryan con-
firmed the charges against him were
dropped and said none of the defen-
dants paid any money to Mr. Brenner.
“I am confident the public will come
to the appropriate conclusion,” he said.
And the race continues as they
challenge one another and Ken Nash
for the top job.

Pickering wins
Ontario Cup; will
enter nationals as
first overall seed
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The Pickering
Power U16 girls are Ontario Cup
champions.
The girls brought home the
crown following a 2-1 victory
over the North London Galaxy in
the Cup final, played last week-
end at the OSA Soccer Centre in
Vaughan.
Right from the opening kick
Pickering pressured with their
attack, however, it was North
London that would strike for
the game’s opening goal, as they
beat Pickering keeper Margaret
Carmichael in the 17th minute.
From there Pickering was
forced to play comeback. Again
with the pressure attack they
generated a few chances, but it
wasn’t until the 31st minute that
they were able to tie the affair at
1-1 on a goal by Nichelle Prince
off a header.
After a mostly quiet second
half of play, Prince was at it
again late, striking for the go-
ahead goal in the final minutes.
The Power would hold on from
there to be crowned champi-
ons.
“The girls work really hard, it’s
a great bunch of kids. They’ve
pulled this off and now it’s off
to the nationals,” said coach
Paul Deabru, who watched his
team reach the Ontario Cup
twice previously and come away
empty handed.
Pickering, by virtue of their of
their Ontario Cup win, as of last
week earned the No. 1 TERRA
ranking among girls teams in
the province and according to
Deabru, will enter the nationals
as the top seeded club.
With the final being held in
Vaughan, the Power had a great
following of people along for the
ride as many friends and family
members, club staff and mem-
bers of the local soccer commu-
nity filled the stands at the OSA
Centre to take in Pickering’s tri-
umph.
And those with the desire to,
will get to follow along once
more as Ontario is hosting the
U16 nationals back in Vaughan
from Oct. 6-11.
Pickering’s club head coach
Tony La Ferrara is looking for-
ward to going along for the ride.
“We’re planning to take a bus
over there and cheer the ladies
on,” he said. “It all depends on
when the games are. We hope
they will still be playing on the
weekend and we’ll definitely be
up there to support them.”
Last year a Pickering U13 won
the club’s first Ontario Cup title,
and while that was exciting in its
own right, La Ferrara says this
one has a different feel to it.
“These young ladies, they have
been together for a very long
time and have been working for
this. This is what they wanted,
to win the Ontario Cup and go
to nationals. It was their dream
three or four years back,” he
said.

Commonwealth Games invite for Moonlight
Pickering resident
announced as
member of
Canadian team
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- If you would have
asked John Moonlight back in
March if he had any chance of
being named to Canada’s Rugby
7’s team for the Commonwealth
Games in Delhi, India, he would
have laughed.
Not because he was in good
spirits. Laid up on the couch with
a broken leg tends to put a damp-
er on one’s expectations.
But ask him that same ques-
tion now, and the answer if more
definitive.
“It took me by surprise,” says
Moonlight of being named to the
team that will represent Canada at
the Commonwealth Games from
Oct. 3-14. “I had a bit of a rough
year. I was with the team for the
beginning of the year and went to
Uruguay, Fiji, New Zealand and
Las Vegas.”
But a broken leg in March while
playing club rugby in British
Columbia sidelined the 23 year
old from Pickering for 12 weeks.
“When I got back, I really had
just played a bit of summer sev-
ens (in B.C.) and then played
for Ontario in the CRC (Cana-
dian Rugby Championship). I
guess from there, (coach) Geraint
(John) called and said they were
trying to get the strongest team
possible and
that I made
the squad.”
With rugby
7’s added to
the Olympic
list for 2016,
the sport is
gaining in
popularity.
In India, the
tournament
has attracted
world powers
from New Zealand, England, Aus-
tralia, Fiji and South Africa among
the 16 countries entered.
The selection of the 12-man
Canadian squad was based on
results from players over five
events.
“Selection is based on 2010’s
performance and IRB World
Series Games,” says coach John
in a press release. He was named
head coach of Canada’s program
in August. “Players who played
well there and gained series
points were in consideration and
we need to have that continuity.”
Moonlight, a graduate of Dun-
barton who studies sociology at
Wilfrid Laurier when he has the
time, is part of the national carded
athletes program. He trains Mon-
day to Friday from 7 a.m. to noon,
with on-field and weight training
sessions. On weekends, he lines
up to play in a club program on
the west coast.
When he’s not practising or
playing, he works as a deck hand
on the Victoria Clipper, a ferry
that runs from Victoria to Seattle.
With international caps in
both rugby 7’s and 15’s, Moon-
light hopes to continue to work
towards the Olympics in 2016.
“If I stay healthy, you never
know, I could be around,” he
says.
The Commonwealth Games will
be the world’s largest multi-sport
competition this year, expecting
to draw more than 4,000 athletes
from 71 nations and territories.
Rugby 7’s will be played Oct. 11-
12.

Five from
Durham invited
to national
women’s
hockey camp
CALGARY -- Durham Region
is clearly doing something right
when it comes to develop-
ing female hockey players at a
national level.
Port Perry’s Britni Smith,
Newcastle’s Tara Watchorn,
Whitby’s Kelly Terry and Ashley
Riggs and Jennifer Wakefield,
both of Pickering, were among
the 64 players invited to attend
the national women’s team
evaluation camp Sept. 22-26 in
Calgary.
The camp roster included
eight goaltenders, 20 defence-
men and 36 forwards. Players
will be divided into four teams
and will take part in practices
and a series of intrasquad
games, culminating with first-
place and third-place games
on Sept. 26.
Included in the roster are
17 members of Canada’s gold
medal-winning team from the
2010 Olympic Winter Games in
Vancouver.
The camp roster also
includes all 22 members of
Canada’s national women’s
under-22 team, which swept
the United States in a three-
game series held in Toronto
this August, and two members
of Canada’s national women’s
under-18 August team.
The evaluation camp is the
first step in determining Cana-
da’s national women’s team for
various competitions during the
2010-11 season.
Smith and Watchorn are
defencemen while Terry, Riggs
and Wakefield are forwards.

Raiders win tournament on home ice
Minor midgets
beat Pittsburgh
in final game
AJAX-PICKERING -- The
Ajax-Pickering Raiders
minor midget hockey team
triumphed over its oppo-
nents to win the champi-
onship in a home tourna-
ment.
The Raiders began with
a 2-2 tie with Niagara Falls
and a 4-2 win over the
Ontario Hockey Academy.
The following day brought
them two more wins,
against Buffalo 6-3 and
Pittsburgh 2-0. The team
continued its success Sun-
day morning in the semifi-
nals with a 3-1 win over the
Whitby Wildcats.
In the championship
game Sunday afternoon,
the Raiders faced Pitts-
burgh for the second time
in the tournament. The
game was scoreless at the
end of the first, but the sec-
ond period saw goals from
Brandon Bockmann, Ste-
ven Dalgarno and Dylan
Pratt. Third-period action
consisted of goals from
Andreas Alexiou (2) and
Alex MacPherson for a 6-0
final.
Goaltending was superb
throughout the tournament
by Evan Wright (two shut-
outs) and Stefan Lamanna.
A team effort throughout
the tournament included
goals by Anthony Gianfrid-
do, Mitchell Emerson, Jere-
my Wu, Alex Gee, Eric War-
ner and Josh Ellul. Shining
on defence were Nathaniel
Fermin, Adam Clements
and Sean Ratcliffe.
On a sad note, Raider Nick
Clark was checked into the
Pittsburgh bench while the
gate was open and had to
be taken to the hospital
with what later turned out
to be a broken arm.
Aside from the unfortu-
nate injury to one of the
players, the Raiders are
off to a great start and this
tournament win has given
them a boost in confi-
dence that they will carry
with them into their season
opener.

Lightning hoping that the storm is over
Durham West
intermediates
coming off
a 2-32 season
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX-PICKERING -- Friday
night will mark a new begin-
ning for the Durham West
Lightning intermediate AA
team.
Coming off a dismal sea-
son in the Provincial Wom-
en’s Hockey League in which
the team finished dead last in
the 19-team league with a 2-
32 record, the season opener
in Whitby provides new opti-
mism for the hockey club.
Based on the pre-season,
coach Wayne McDonald and
his staff have every reason to
believe things will be differ-
ent this time out. The team
won five of its nine exhibi-
tion games, including reach-
ing the semifinals of the
Union College tournament.
“We’ve got virtually a
completely new team,” says
McDonald of the roster com-
prised of 10 players born in
1993 and eight born in 1994.
“Our plan, as far as league
play, as a team we would be
disappointed with anything
worse than middle of the
pack.”
Only three players remain
from last season’s frustra-
tion. Goaltender Chantal
Bicket returns after posting
a 4.85 goals against aver-
age in 19 league games, for-
ward Shannon Stewart is
back after 6-7-13 numbers
in 32 games, and the team’s
third leading scorer, Carly
Marchment, returns, com-
ing off a season in which she
registered 6-8-14 totals and
a team-leading 59 penalty
minutes in 32 games.
Her play on the ice, coupled
with her off-ice demeanour,
earned her the captaincy this
season.
“She’s a veteran and a
very positive influence in
the dressing room,” says
McDonald of his captain.
“She exudes confidence and
team leadership qualities.
The most important thing
we were looking for is some-
one who, because there is
going to be ups and downs,
we wanted somebody who
had a real positive influence
among all the new players.”
This will be the third year
in a row that McDonald has
served as a head coach in
the organization, with pre-
vious experience coming
with the bantam and midg-
et AA teams. He has also
assisted on various teams
with the Lightning, and has
also coached in the Ajax-
Pickering Raiders program.
Most of the roster is com-
prised of Durham Region
players, but also includes
Sara Jane Pratt and Megan
Simpson, of Napanee, Emily
Kekewich, of Kingston, and
Kaitlyn Mullett, of Markham.
Following Friday’s 8:15
p.m. opener in Whitby at
Iroquois Park Sports Centre,
the Lightning will celebrate
the home opener Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 at the Ajax
Community Centre. The
team has moved into the
Ajax Attack dressing room
that was vacated by the Tier
II junior hockey club in the
spring when it merged with
the Pickering Panthers.
Despite the lack of success
on the ice last season, the
Lightning still moved a num-
ber of players on to the next
level. Two players accepted
positions on CIS rosters at
Carleton and Laurier, while
four moved on to NCAA
teams at Yale, Wayne State,
Adrian, and Elmira College.

‘Pioneer’ pot grower tells story
Cobourg resident,
busted in Oshawa
in 1996, had
grow-op in Ajax
MIKE RUTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Gerry McCarthy has
been in the newspaper before.
In 1996, Durham police busted
through the door of his Oshawa
home, arresting the guy they
dubbed the $5 million
man and charging him
with growing and sell-
ing marijuana.
Police found
“sophisticated indoor
growing operations”
in commercial build-
ings in Ajax, Cobourg,
Scarborough, Bramp-
ton and Markham and
seized more than 7,000
plants. At the time, it
was the largest indoor
grow-op bust in Cana-
dian history.
McCarthy’s long ride as a dope
grower was over.
But even then he had a book
in mind and, 14 years later, he’s
released A Man of Substanc-
es: The Misdeeds and Growing
Pains of a Pot Pioneer, written
with David Partridge.
The word pioneer brings con-
notations of doing something
new, perhaps risky, and that cer-
tainly applies to McCarthy when
he was growing and dealing.
While indoor grow-ops are com-
mon today, at one time most of
the marijuana found
in the GTA came from
places such as Colom-
bia, Mexico and
Jamaica and grow-ops
here were virtually
unheard of.
McCarthy tells
the story of how a
small-town kid who
eventually moved to
Scarborough got into
drugs and became a
big player, perfect-
ing, through trial and
error, the growing process. By
turns his story is compelling,
scary, funny, painfully hon-
est and, at times, embarrassing.
Good friends were lost to dope,
even murdered.
“The fool on the hill was a fool
on the hill,” the Cobourg resi-
dent says of why he wrote the
book.
“I’m not proud of that, but I
did it and I just feel better talk-
ing about it. I see the humour in
it but I’m certainly not proud of
it.”
If you think McCarthy got rich
as a dealer, he says that wasn’t
the case. He borrowed
money from loan
sharks and, at
one point, had
a $750,000
debt, on
which the
interest
alone
was
$19,000
a
month.
As soon
as he
made
money off
a crop, most
of it went to
the sharks.
“I had to wake up
with that (debt) every
day,” McCarthy says.
Reading the book, it’s clear he
wants to distance himself from
the major dealers we think of
today: dangerous, gun-toting
people affiliated with gangs and
cartels. And while he did a variety
of drugs at different times along
the way, including cocaine, her-
oin and opium, McCarthy drew
the line when it came to what
he was selling: it was marijuana
and nothing stronger.
“I had lots of opportunities,
believe me,” he says of diver-
sifying his former business. “I
don’t like what (cocaine) does to
people, what it does to families,
same as heroin.”
Marijuana is
different, he
says, far more
benign,
similar to
alcohol.
McCar-
thy
con-
tends
that “all
drugs
should
be legal.
“You
make ‘em
legal and you
go to school if
you have a prob-
lem,” he says. “I don’t
endorse them. I wish no one
would do heroin or cocaine.”
Jailing people is no way to
win the war on drugs, he says,
emphasizing that education is
the key.
Amazingly, McCarthy was able
to keep his illegal business from
his wife, Patti, when they were
living in Oshawa. His decep-
tion was easier than one might
imagine because she was work-
ing in Cobourg at the time, living
there with her mother during
the week. He also worked legiti-
mately while he was dealing.
“She knew I had ‘friends’, let’s
be honest, but she had no idea
of the extent,” he says.
Even more remarkable is that
McCarthy never did any prison
time for his crimes. As he relates,
the confusion arising from the
fact that he was charged in mul-
tiple jurisdictions was a bit
too much for the Crown to tie
together. Once admonished by
the judge when it wasn’t pre-
pared to prosecute the case,
the Crown didn’t risk a second
such occurrence, as the case
could have been thrown out,
and agreed to a joint submission
with the defence. He got 100
hours of community service.
He says his story is both enter-
taining and “a cautionary tale.”
You can buy the book in stores
such as Chapters and Indigo
and, if it’s not on the shelf, staff
can order it. It’s also available at

OSHAWA -- A renowned choir
plays Oshawa next month and,
for them, it’s not just about the
music.
The Toronto Welsh Male Voice
Choir performs a fundraiser for
Oshawa’s St. Vincent’s Kitchen on
Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at The Regent
Theatre in Oshawa.
“Our performance repertoire will
include the simple message that
what we have in common with one
another far outweighs our differ-
ences,” states the band’s website.
“Our common ground is our
humanity, and best expressed by
what we at the TWMVC do best -
- support of choral traditions that
have enriched the human experi-
ence through the ages.”
St. Vincent’s Kitchen marks the
25th anniversary of serving its first
meal on Oct. 15. A non-profit orga-
nization, it serves meals to the
needy, including those on old-age
or disability pensions and those
living on the street. Learn more at
www.stvincentskitchen.com.
The Regent is at 50 King St. E.
Tickets for the concert are $25 and
available by calling 905-434-7543,
905-259-9159 or at www.ticketweb.

Class Act Theatre
stages Neil Simon classic
MIKE RUTA
mruta@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- If you’re a 40-something, you
probably remember The Odd Couple as a
sitcom starring Jack Klugman and Tony
Randall.
But before it was a TV series, The Odd
Couple was a play by American master Neil
Simon. It’s at Class Act Theatre in Whitby to
Oct. 30.
“The Odd Couple is a real challenge
because pretty well everybody knows it,” says
director Ray Porrill. “It’s a challenge because
you want to remain true to what Neil Simon
wrote and to the play itself ... but the direc-
tor and the actors want to put their definitive
stamp on it.”
He says the writing is so good that, no mat-
ter how the work is staged, as long as the pro-
duction team remains true to the lines, the
play will always go over well. Still, audience
members should expect to see something a
little different than the Oscar and Felix of TV
fame.
“I think the actors are bringing more nuanc-
es to the characters than what (people) have
seen,” Porrill says.
The Odd Couple is the story of Oscar Mad-
ison and Felix Unger. The latter is going
through a painful divorce and Oscar invites
him to live in his apartment. The laughs
arise because while Felix is an absolute clean
freak, Oscar is a complete slob.
Porrill notes that one memorable scene
formed the basis for the whole play. Felix has
prepared a meal for himself and Oscar but,
when the latter doesn’t show at dinner time,
the meal is ruined and Felix berates him.
“That situation is actually based on a real-
life situation that happened to Neil Simon’s
brother, who was also a playwright,” he says.
When Neil Simon heard the story, he thought
it was hilarious and advised his brother to do
something with it. The latter didn’t and Neil
Simon created the entire play around the
scene, Porrill says.
He notes a guy in emotional anguish, as
Felix is in the play, was not looked upon in
the same way by other men in 1965, when the
play was set, as perhaps he would be today.
“You didn’t have that sensitivity that guys
are supposed to have now,” Porrill says.
The cast features Glenn Rabjohn (Oscar),
David Rabjohn (Felix), Martin Kalin (Vinnie),
Daniel Wyse (Roy), Mark Salonius (Mur-
ray), David Cooke (Speedy), Karen Wylie
(Gwen Pigeon) and Linda Chapman (Cicely
Pigeon).
“I’ve got a really good cast; I’m quite happy
with them,” he says. “They’ve really been
gung ho about this project from day one, the
cast and the crew.”
Porrill, a Blackstock native who lives in
Oshawa, is a 25-year theatre veteran who has
acted and directed across Durham for groups
such as Borelians Community Theatre, Her-
ongate Barn Theatre and Oshawa Little The-
atre.
“I’ve always loved the theatre,” he says. “I
love the intimacy of having the audience
right there, especially when you’re an actor
on stage.”
Unlike a film, where a performance will
remain the same forever, in a play every one
is slightly different than the last, he says.
“The audience always gets something spe-
cial, every time they go,” Porrill says. “There’s
always a little something there that’s just a lit-
tle unique to every show and I love that.”
For more information and for tickets, visit
www.class-act.ca or call 905-668-2229. Or
visit the box office at the theatre, at 104 Con-
sumers Dr. (at Hopkins Street), Whitby. The
box office is open Monday to Saturday from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Next up at Class Act is What’s Cooking for
Christmas, opening Nov. 6 and running to
Dec. 22.

CELEBRATING 90 YEARS
Sept. 26, 2010. Wishing
MARGARET AALTO every
happiness on her 90th birthday. With
love always from her sons Ivan and
Kevin, daughters-in-law Linda and
Brenda, grandchildren Karen
(husband Francisco),
Ryan, David, Meaghan,
Alyson (Jamie) and
great-grandchildren Amanda
and Jessica.
In loving memory of my husband,
best friend and soul mate
CHRISTOPHER ADAM KYLES
December 1, 1964 - September 25, 2002
Sad was the parting, no one can tell
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell
The blow was hard, the shock severe
To part with the one I loved so dear
Dearer still as years depart
His memory lives forever
within my heart.
Loving you forever,
forgetting you never
Deneane
In loving memory of our daddy
CHRISTOPHER ADAM KYLES
December 1, 1964 - September 25, 2002
Your cheerful smile, your heart of gold
You were the best this world could hold
Never selfi sh, always kind
These are the memories you left behind
While you sleep a peaceful sleep
Fond memories of you, we always keep
No verse, no fl owers, no tears can say
How much we miss you everyday.
Love your daughters
