Russell Williams took the stand in court Thursday, as the hearing into his crimes wrapped up. The former base commander at CFB Trenton wept as he said, “I have committed despicable crimes, your honour. “In the process, betraying my family, friends and col- leagues and the Canadian Forces. I shall spend the rest of my life regretting that I have above all ended two vibrant lives.” Family members, court spectators and some in the media gallery were also in tears as he spoke. “ Y o u r honour,“ said Col. Williams as he took a deep breath, “I stand before you indescribably ashamed. I know that the crimes I have committed have traumatized many people. The family and friends of Marie France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd in part have suffered and continue to suffer profound desperate sorrow as a result of what I have done.” Following his statement, Col. Williams was sentenced to two concurrent life sentences. He will be sent direct- ly to the Kingston penitentiary. The day started with Crown Attorney Lee Burgess wrapping up the case against Col. Williams. In explaining why the Crown’s office went into such details about the murders of Marie France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd, he said, “We have built the extensive record that we have this week so that the parole board will know that he will remain a dangerous offender.” The defence lawyer pointed out that the two life sen- tences means he will be eligible for parole in 25 years but won’t necessarily be granted it at that time. Mr. Bur- gess asked the judge to impose a lifetime ban on Col. Williams possessing weapons. The Crown also insisted he be placed on the DNA databank for sex offenders and be included on the sex offenders list. Mr. Burgess went on to point out Col. Williams has assets, including a pension, so he should pay an $8,800 victim crime surcharge. The Crown wants all evidence from the break-ins and murders to be destroyed and Col. Williams’ Pathfinder crushed. Mr. Burgess noted it has been a very difficult year for the community with more homicides in the past 15 months than the past decade.

IN HIS OWN WORDS BELLEVILLE -- Russell Williams’s state- ment to the court prior to sentencing for two murders, sexual assaults and break and enter charges on Thursday, Oct 21, 2010: (Deep breath) Your honour. (Deep breath) I stand before you, your honour, inde- scribably ashamed. I know that the crimes I have committed... Have traumatized many people (choked up) The family and friends of Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd in particular have suffered and continue to suffer pro- found desperate pain and sorrow as a result of what I have done. My assaults of Ms. *** and Ms. Masicotte have caused them to suffer terribly as well I know. Numerous victims of the break and enters I‘ve committed have been very seriously distressed as a result of my so having invaded their most intimate privacy. My family, your honour, has been irrepa- rably harmed. The understandable hatred that was expressed yesterday and has been pal- pable throughout the week has me rec- ognize that most will find it impossible to accept, but the fact is I very deeply regret what I have done. And the harm I know I have caused so many. (choked up) I’ve committed despicable crimes your honour. (Sniffs) in the process, betraying my fam- ily, my friends and colleagues and the Canadian Forces. (crying and sniffing) Excuse me. I shall spend the rest of my life regretting above all that I have ended two vibrant, innocent and cherished lives. And I very sincerely hope that my detailed confes- sion on the night of February 7th and my full cooperation with investigators since and ultimately my guilty pleas earlier this week have, in some way, served to tem- per the very ... very serious harm I have caused my victims and their families and friends. Thank you, your honour. COL. RUSSELL WILLIAMS’ TRIAL ‘I stand before you indescribably ashamed’COL.

Hostage negotiators were also at the scene and the police helicopter circled overhead. Behind yellow caution tape, parents were told only that there was a police investi- gation underway and that the school was locked down to protect students’ safety. Immediately, parents grabbed their cell- phones and started texting their kids. It’s a rare teen these days who isn’t armed with a cell and for many parents it’s an important means of communication. In fact, when I heard about the lockdown, the first thing I did was ask a co-worker whose daughter attends the school whether she’d heard anything. She had a text about the lockdown waiting on her phone. At the scene, students who had a spare period were eagerly texting their friends and snapping pictures with their cellphones. I heard one girl comment that she’d created a Facebook album with her photos. Rumours swirled: there had been a stab- bing, there was a hostage situation, some- one had a gun. The rumours bounced from students to parents to the media and back to students in a vicious loop. Meanwhile, police were keeping most- ly mum and it later emerged that keeping the suspect in the dark was a key part of the plan to resolve things peacefully. It was a never a hostage situation; rather, police had received a report of a student carrying a handgun to school. The suspect was in lockdown along with a dozen other students in one of the portables and was unaware the drama centred around him. Eventually, the students were told the lockdown was over, but to remain in their classrooms. The suspect was asked to report to the office. It was then that police nabbed him. Police later found a replica pellet-type gun in the suspect’s gym bag. No one was injured. But as the situation was unfolding, it’s easy to imagine what police officers’ worst fears were: that it was a real gun, that a stray text message or Facebook post will alert the suspect, that he would panic and harm one of his classmates. Police are well aware that in other hostage situations -- a man taking a bus full of peo- ple hostage in the Philippines being a recent example -- the hostage taker monitored the media to learn about police movements. Social media can be a real treasure trove of information for police. When a crime occurs and it involves teens, police often have to deal with a code of silence. Access to social media, such as Facebook, can give them information they otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s also a way for officers to spread information. A recent example is Toron- to police posting G20 suspect photos on Facebook and asking for help in identifying them. But ultimately, the Notre Dame situation was a firm reminder that technology can be a double-edged sword and in certain situa- tions, our use of it has the potential to do far more harm than good. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter (@ rszekely) or e-mail at rszekely@durhamregion.com Reka Szekely Prevalence of social media can create a dangerous situation for police The pain of loss, a life ended prema- turely -- unnecessarily -- is reflected in the sombre visage of Merna Jones. She stood before a crowd of well- wishers Wednesday night, the mother of a boy who took his own life in 2007 after enduring bullying over his sexu- ality, to share a message steeped in pain, but which offered a glimmer of hope. Her son, Shaquille Wisdom, commit- ted suicide on Oct. 20, 2007 after being bullied by high school peers, another teen trapped in a too-familiar cycle of taunts, recrimination, threats and ostracism because of his sexuality. Wednesday’s sombre ceremony helped area teens remember the best of Shaquille while joining in a com- mon purpose to fight homophobia and bullying in all its forms. Luminary candles were lit with respectful, loving messages to Sha- quille, teens shared thoughts and memories of their friend and made vocal their pledge to confront the issue here at home. Local groups such as Parents, Fami- lies, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays and Distress Centre Durham orga- nized the event and turned out to emphasize to others in the communi- ty who might be struggling with their sexuality, or who are confronting bul- lying, that they always have a place to turn, a voice of experience to talk to, or a willing ear to listen. Combined, their efforts can help turn the tide and foster a greater sense of inclusiveness, acceptance and tol- erance in high schools across Durham Region. The high participation of Ajax High School students also deserves cred- it. They might consider organizing, or helping to organize, similar events with PFLAG and the Distress Centre in communities across Durham because there is surely a Shaquille Wisdom struggling in every high school in the region. The message that help is avail- able, that support is just a phone call away, is too important to miss for young adults. The community mourns the loss of a bright young man who felt he had little choice but to take his own life. We all must examine our own actions, con- sider the effects of bullying on youth, and remember Shaquille Wisdom. He could be your son, brother or nephew, your neighbour or a fam- ily friend. Bullying and homophobia have no place or value in a progres- sive, inclusive society that embrac- es diversity, celebrates its differences and promotes tolerance. Take a moment to think of Shaquille today. Take a moment to remember him. Bullying has no place, no value in Durham communities durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 20107 AP 401 HWY. 2 KINGSTON RD. PORT UNION RD. WHITES RD. LIVERPOOL RD. 10 MIN.

Limited Time Offer. To the editor: I read your picks for mayor, coun- cil and school boards today with great interest. I believe that the basis of your picks is sound, but as a resident of Whitby East Ward, I would have to defer in voting for your choice for ward councillor. We have been spoiled in this ward for several years being represent- ed by Lorne Coe. He has brought ward issues to the council table, is very responsive to electorate ques- tions and concerns and works to make Whitby as a whole work. Replacing an excellent councillor like Mr. Coe will be difficult. On Sept. 8, I sent an e-mail to the five candidates running in the East Ward. I received a phone call with- in 24 hours from Ken Montague, with a follow-up visit to my home. I also received a rather detailed and realistic e-mail response from Richard Morphew. To date, I have not heard a peep from Julie Ren- nie, Kelly Kane or Michael O’Hare. Given that the ward councillor is likely our first line of contact with Whitby council, I find this rath- er problematic that a prospective councillor cannot answer queries during election time. Can or will this even improve once they are elected? For these reasons, when que- ried by the neighbours or many co-workers at OPG, I tell them that I would either endorse Ken Mon- tague or Richard Morphew. Both have campaigned well and have made a point of returning messag- es. Ken has also put in a lot of time going door to door each evening in this ward. Ms. Rennie might be excellent for Whitby council, but Mr. Montague or Mr. Morphew will be excellent for the ward, and that is how I will vote. Bill Moran Whitby *** To the editor: I would like to comment on your picks for Oshawa city council. To my knowledge, newspapers are supposed to report on the news. You are to report on what is happening with the upcoming election -- not put your stamp of approval on certain candidates. It makes me wonder what your motivation is to have these candi- dates elected. Do you know these people personally, do your kids and theirs go to school together or do you actually think they are the best candidates for the position? Every voter has his or her own priorities when deciding who to vote for. The voters rely on news media to inform them of the candi- dates’ platforms in order to make informed decisions based on facts, not your opinion. It is not your job to tell us which candidates you think Oshawa should vote for. Leona Olesky Oshawa **** To the editor: Re: ‘This Week offers its picks for mayor, council, school board’, Wednesday, Oct. 20. As a newspaper, I believe it is your primary responsibility to provide unbiased journalism. Newspapers have a unique role in society, especially those that are focused on local issues. I hold strong the position that when you included ‘This Week offers its picks for mayor, council, school board,’ you mistreated your responsibility and took advantage of your posi- tion. While I do agree with several of the candidates endorsed, that is my personal opinion. The newspaper as an entity has no voting rights and there- fore should not be in a position to offer its endorsement. The piece in question should have had a name attached. I believe you have done the community a great disservice and hold you to providing an apol- ogy to the community and the can- didates. Simon Farquhar Bowmanville Letters to the editor Readers across Durham Region weigh in on newspaper endorsements JUSTICE Williams trial had no business being in my community newspaper To the editor: Re: Williams trial. I am appalled that you found it necessary to include an article on the Williams trial, which is not a local issue and does not come under the umbrella of communi- ty news. I do not deny that the story may be of interest to many in the com- munity but those who wish to fol- low the proceedings can access the information through so many other forms of media, and I have no problem with their right to do so.

The candles glowed inside white paper bags which were marked with messages, from short notes such as “it gets better” and “be proud of who you are, there’s always hope” to longer letters. Many of them were addressed to Shaquille, such as one that read “In memory of Shaquille, we all have wisdom in us, miss you.” Shaquille’s mother, Merna Jones, spoke to the group. “I’m a face of what bullying leads to,” she said. “It’s an empty feeling to realize you lost your child for no reason.” Ms. Jones added it was no other reason than hatred and malicious- ness. She thanked the group for supporting her son and helping his memory live on. Like many of her son’s friends at the event, Ms. Jones said she had no idea Shaquille was in such a dark place before his suicide. She said she wished her son had talked to her about his sexuality. “If Shaquille had ever come to me, I would have embraced him because he’s my child,” she said. The event was organized by Dis- tress Centre Durham and PFLAG, an organization that provides sup- port to family and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer peo- ple. One of the messages repeated throughout the night is that there’s always help available and no one is alone. PFLAG’s Maureen Sheehy said the decision to hold the memorial this year was made because it was felt enough time had passed since Shaquille’s death that it could be done with respect for his family. Angie King, a Grade 12 student at Ajax High School, said her locker was next to Shaquille’s. She remem- bers the last time she saw Sha- quille, he walked past everyone like he didn’t know them, unusual for an outgoing student who almost always had a smile on his face. When she found out he died, Angie said she felt devastated. She was glad the event was held. “I think it’s very necessary, I’m really happy they did this.” Like many others, Vivienne Simp- son, a Grade 11 student at Ajax High, wore purple. On her purple T-shirt, she wrote Shaquille’s name and inspirational quotes. Vivienne said she was a year younger than Shaquille, but knew him as a student at Carruthers Creek Public School. He would give her a high-five every day. “I didn’t get to go to the viewing when it happened, I was too upset, so I thought this would be a good way to say goodbye.” Of the many speakers, which included Mayor Steve Parish and Degrassi star Adamo Ruggi- ero, it was Ajax High student Mat- thew Kinnaird who drew the most praise. Matthew, a Grade 12 student, is a member of the Gay-Straight Alli- ance at his school. He too remem- bers a devastated school commu- nity after Shaquille’s death. “It was an interesting time because of the silence, but at the same time things have changed greatly, things have really improved since I was in Grade 9.” He said the number of people participating in the GSA has grown and half the school participated in the most recent Day of Silence, a protest against the bullying and harassment experienced by LGBTQ students. Still there’s work to be done, he told the group. GSA posters were defaced last week and words including “faggot” and “dyke” are still commonly used by some students. “I feel like I’m supposed to be telling you homophobia has been eliminated, that it’s not an issue, but that’s a lie,” he said. He had a rallying cry for the group. “You being here is a commitment to ending injustice and a proclama- tion you will not tolerate hate ... we can do it, we can be the people to end homophobia.” The Durham Distress Centre has a 24-hour helpline.

The field centre opened officially on June 5, 1970 and since then about 120,000 stu- dents have had a residential outdoor educa- tion at the centre, staying in dorms for two or four nights. The students participate in a wide range of outdoor programs taught by the Toronto and Region Conservation’s environmental professionals. The centre is located on 160 hectares of conservation land along Duffins Creek. Students specifically enjoy ecology hikes, stream and pond studies, nature art and photography and living history programs where they can experience the local pioneer heritage, survival skills, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on natural trails. They also learn team-building and leadership skills. The public will get the rare opportunity to visit the field centre, 4290 Westney Rd., one kilometre north of the Seventh Con- cession, just north of Hwy. 7, this Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Because the field centre is normally closed to the public, we’re like a mystery for local residents, and so we’re pleased to be able to celebrate our 40 years by opening our doors to the com- munity,” said Aldo Missio, TRCA field centre instructor in a press release. “Our outdoor education programming is geared to be fun, immersive, and encour- ages students to understand, look after and enjoy their own community.” Activities will include an hourly drop-in hike where TRCA staff will introduce guests to pond creatures and the pioneer cabin, where they can make candles and toys. The day will include some sign-up activi- ties, an archeology dig and a photo work- shop. Visitors can join the TRCA archaeolo- gists as they excavate a blacksmith’s home- stead on the property. There will also be a fall colours photo workshop with a colourful hike for photo buffs. Those interested in signing up can call Mr. Missio at 905-649-2208 or e-mail him at amissio@trca.on.ca. The event will also include barbecued burgers and hot dogs over the lunch hour for a reasonable cost.

CommunityCommunity SupportSupport ServicesServices CommunityCommunity SupportSupport ServicesServices DurhamurhamDDurhamurhamAdvertising Feature Stolen goods top $500,000 MARIANNE TAKACS newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- With more victims coming for- ward nearly every day, Durham police say they have now recovered $500,000 in stolen property after an Oshawa couple was charged with stealing antiques, jewelry, coins and other valuable items from real estate open houses in the Greater Toronto Area. Police had originally estimated the value of goods stolen in the case at $100,000. “We only started with two reports and then it just kind of snowballed on us,” said Det. Paolo Dellipizzi of Durham Regional Police. “Every day seems to add another one to it.” About 500 stolen items have been recov- ered and about 20 incidents of theft report- ed, with more reports expected, Det. Dellip- izzi said. According to the officer, the prop- erty was stolen over a period of four to five years. “Some of the property is already sold and gone and we can’t recover it right now,” Det. Dellipizzi said. However, more than $50,000 worth of what has been found has been returned to victims, and people who think some of the items may belong to them are being urged to contact police. “If they can identify their property, they can have their property back,” said Det. Dellipizzi, explaining it does not need to be kept for evidence. The accused man and woman, who live in what Det. Dellipizzi described as “an older, upscale neighbourhood,” were arrested Sept. 19 after attending real estate open houses in Oakville. Peter Mason King, 52, and Nora Ann Thomson, 51, of Mary Street North, face charges of theft over $5,000 and theft under $5,000, possession of stolen goods, conspir- acy to commit a criminal offence and being unlawfully in a dwelling house. Mr. King is also charged with breach of probation. The couple is accused of similar thefts in Westport, Conn., and officers in Durham Region have spoken with counterparts in several northeastern U.S. states, including New York and Maine. Police here expect to lay more charges, Det. Dellipizzi said. The thefts from open houses are alleged to have taken place in communi- ties across much of the GTA. Det. Dellipizzi suggested anyone selling their home take precautions when holding an open house. “Have the real estate agents ensure that the people who are going through, that they are who they say they are. And make sure they keep a list of the people that are viewing their homes.” Local realtors say those are among the things they are urging clients to do, with open house thefts appearing to be on the rise recently. Marianne Takacs is a reporter with the Toronto Star CRIME Durham pair faces more charges for open house thefts Advertising Feature Advice from the Care Experts at Bayshore Home Health Is the time right for home health care? You’ve likely heard of the “sandwich generation”: the children of aging parents who are still raising their own families and working full time jobs on top of it all. This situation may even describe you. It’s the profi le of thousands of Canadian families, and the numbers are increasing as our population continues to age. With so many seniors living longer, healthier lives today, the right mix of nursing, personal care, home support and companionship services is allowing them to live comfortably in their own homes for a longer period of time. Home health care can be paid for privately, or funded through government care programs, through personal and group insurance plans, and with workers’ compensation insurance. Talking openly with aging parents about options and services is an important fi rst step in arranging for the best quality care that will meet the needs of the entire family. It may not be an easy subject to broach, however. We suggest that asking yourself and your parents these questions is key to deciding what kind of care is appropriate: • Do my parents have work insurance? (Free funding investigation) • Do my parents have a large home to maintain • Is it necessary to use the stairs frequently? • Are they eating properly? • Do they require additional care for a health issue or following a hospital stay? • Are they isolated or do they see other people? Home care is designed to deliver just the right support to keep your parents independent, happy and healthy in their own home. To learn more about the benefi ts of a personalized home health care plan, please call our Oshawa offi ce at 1 Mary St. N. Unit C, (905)433-4003 or visit www.bayshore.ca.

With Shout Sister! choirs already established in places such as Cobourg, Belleville, Picton and Kingston, Cobourg resident Cher- yl Thrasher wants to start one here. Shout Sister! is the creation of singer-songwriter and Juno Award nominee Georgette Fry, of Kings- ton, who started the first choir there in 2001. The emphasis is on having fun, perhaps after a tough day at the office, while singing popular music. You don’t have to be a pro to join. In fact, the choir was set up for amateurs; auditions are not required and members do not have to be able to read music. “It allows them time to network with the community of women,” Thrasher says. “My job is to make sure they have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to singing as a choir and performing and giving back to the community.” The latter is an important part of the choir’s mandate. Choirs have performed at seniors’ homes, fes- tivals and in support of school breakfast programs, women’s shelters and youth drop-in shel- ters. At a year-end fundraiser, some of the proceeds are donated to benefit women and children. Girls and women of all ages can become members, creating a unique dynamic where a mother and daughter, or maybe an aunt and niece, are in the same choir. Thrasher says in the Picton choir, a two year old joined the choir and is still a member eight years later. “She’s just grown with us,” she says. A four-year member of the Pic- ton choir, Thrasher is a Loyal- ist College professor who was brought up in a musical family. She plays the piano, takes vocal lessons and started the Shout Sis- ter! chapters in Cobourg and Bel- leville. There’s a $135 cost to become a member and the choir is active for 40 weeks of the year. If a chapter is started in Dur- ham, rehearsals would likely be on Thursday evenings. Thrasher would like to have at least 50 members before she pro- ceeds with the Durham chapter. But if even 30 or so people express an interest, “then we’re absolutely ready to go. “It’s a sure thing as long as the membership is there,” she says. “I’m ready to take it and run with it.” If you’d like to sign up, e-mail choiradmin@georgettefry.ca and put “Durham” in the subject line. Learn more about Shout Sister! at shoutsister.georgettefry.ca. SUPPLIED PHOTO DURHAM -- Cheryl Thrasher conducts a Shout Sister! choir.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Unique exhibition to Nov. 7 MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- As soon as Jean Telford-Rahme walked into the church on the Scugog museum grounds, she found her inspira- tion. She was looking for a museum piece on which to base a painting for this year’s Out of the Ashes: Port Perry’s Incredible Resur- rection exhibit, and the light flooding into the Scugog Shores Museum Village church was all Telford-Rahme needed to see. She chose an oil lamp and her painting of the church, Constant Comfort, is a part of the show, on to Nov. 7. “It started with a light,” she says of her painting. “I walked into the church in the late afternoon and the light was streaming through.” Telford-Rahme thought about times long ago, when people attended church in good times and in bad, but especially the latter, focusing on “the uplift- ing light that comes through the church” in her work. Her paint- ing shows the lamps on the walls and the light illuminating the pews. “It just was enjoyable to go over and spend time just feeling the atmosphere of the antiques and the artifacts and trying to envi- sion the people and how they lived,” she says. Artists, mainly from the Scugog area, in the spring had an oppor- tunity to choose an object from the museum’s collection on which to base their work of art and they are displayed together in the show. Amy Barron, acting curator at the Scugog museum, says artists chose brass kettles, blacksmith- ing tools and children’s shoes, among other objects, to find inspiration for their pieces. Barron says the theme of the exhibit is re-birth or renewal, as Port Perry was devastated by a fire in 1884 and had to create itself anew. The exhibition is at the Scugog Shores Heritage Centre and Archives, 1655 Reach St. (above the arena), Port Perry.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 201021 AP Folk/metal storytelling in Ajax SUBMITTED PHOTO AJAX -- Folk metal band Scythia released its debut album ...Of War on Oct. 5. The Vancouver band’s Exiled Across Canada Tour plays a lone Durham date early next week, Oct. 26 at Top Shelf in Ajax.

Sue Reynolds, past president of The Writers’ Community Of Dur- ham Region, found that out herself at a recent conference in Alberta. The Port Perry resident, writ- er and writing instructor was appointed vice president of Cana- dian Creative Writers and Writing Programs. The new organization elected Reynolds to its board and she was later picked for the post. “We were delighted to discov- er that WCDR already has a solid national profile,” Reynolds stat- ed in a press release. “Some of the luminaries at this conference were aware of us already, and the ones who weren’t surely are now. According to the University of Calgary website, CCWWP “is an initiative created by members of the English and Drama depart- ments at the University of Cal- gary and York University, and The Banff Centre’s Literary Arts pro- gram. The purpose ... is to create a forum for discussion on issues relating to creative writing teach- ers.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 201023 AP Save Up To 90%!Save Up To 90%! $25 for a Jewellery Making Workshop at Bead Rock (A $60 Value) Today’s Deal in AJAX/PICKERING Regular Price: $60 | You Save: $25 BUY FOR $25 www.WagJag.com Discount: 58% During the workshop, you’ll make a bracelet and earrings worth over $100!

But on the weekend of Jan. 30-31, 2011, he will be in attendance during the American Hockey League all-star game, a guest of hon- our of sorts, where he will be formally induct- ed into the league’s hall of fame. “I’m just looking forward to it,” says the 82 year old from Pickering. “I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait. “I had a feeling it would happen, but I didn’t know if I was on a ballot or anything.” Pidhirny played 1,071 games in the Ameri- can Hockey League over 17 seasons, spanning from 1948 with the Philadelphia Rockets to 1966 with the Baltimore Clippers. Along the way, he also played for the Springfield Indians, Syracuse Warriors and Providence Reds in the AHL, and the San Francisco Seals of the West- ern Hockey League and Muskegon Mohawks of the International Hockey League. His numbers over the course of his career put him among the elite hockey players of his time. He has the distinction of being the first player to reach the 1,000 games plateau in the AHL, and his final number of 1,071 is third on the all-time list. His 376 goals, 453 assists and 829 points place him sixth in league history, and his six goals in a game against Providence on Nov. 21, 1953 remain a record matched by three other players. “It was good hockey,” he says of that era. “There was only about eight teams in it and only six National Hockey League teams. There was no such thing as a slapshot when we start- ed playing.” Like every Canadian kid who straps on a pair of skates, he dreamed of playing professional hockey. “Ever since I was six years old, I remember skating everyday. Wherever there was ice, I was on it.” Before embarking on a pro career, Pidhirny played in Toronto with the Young Rangers and Maher Jewels plus the Galt Rockets, joining the Philadelphia Rockets of the AHL for the 1948-49 season. Prior to the start of the 19,49- 50 season, he was traded to the Springfield Indians for $7,000, “ W h i c h was a helluva lot of money back then,” he notes. For the next 12 seasons he was part of the Boston Bruins system, moving with the team from Springfield for two seasons to Syracuse for three seasons and then back to Springfield for another seven. During that time, he played two games in the NHL for the Boston Bruins in the 1957-58 season. “To go up to the National League, it was tough,” he says of trying to break into the big leagues. “I worked for Eddie Shore. He was a real bugger. He wouldn’t let me go, so I was stuck with him for 12 years.” Of his two games in the NHL: “It was great,” he recalls. “One was in Montreal and one was in Boston against the Leafs. We were playing against some good hockey players.” That season, after being returned to Spring- field, he led the team to the Calder Cup final and earned AHL second team all-star selec- tion in 1959. Aside from those two games, another mem- orable night came in 1960 when his Spring- field team presented him with a station wagon as a gift. Following his lengthy career in hockey, he worked in sales in a car dealership in Scarbor- ough. These days, golf occupies much of his time -- he played 71 rounds this year. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Harry Pidhirny will be inducted into the American Hockey League Hall of Fame in a ceremony in January as part of the league’s all-star weekend.

Under the direction of head coach Holley Lun- dmark, the team of cap- tain Jenilee Keslering, Kirsten Femson, Lindsay MacLean, Lauren Lepage, Laura Mouck, Amy Levine, Meaghan Hartwell and Melissa Dermody wrapped up the week-long event with a close second-place team finish, behind Slova- kia. Representing DSSC in duet technical routine on the first day of competition was the team of Keslering and MacLean. They placed third among 33 competi- tors. Later that day, during the team technical event, they placed third again, out of 22 competitors. Inspired by these results, the women focused upon leaving the competition with gold or silver. The team free event was scheduled on the final day of competition. The tal- lies from team free and the team technical events comprised 50 per cent each of the grand total and were combined to calcu- late the final medal stand- ings. DSSC took to the water in the second-last position on the roster. With high spir- its and perfect smiles, the masters team put every- thing into an intense per- formance of their ‘chase’ themed choreography. As the audience erupt- ed, the DSSC Masters team knew it swam a flawless performance. The Slova- kia team followed suit but were outranked by DSSC by two points in this cat- egory. When the medal standings were revealed, the Durham team had cap- tured the silver medal, nar- rowly missing the gold by about half a point. Undeterred, DSSC left Sweden extremely satis- fied with their accomplish- ments. Encouraged by the silver medals, the swim- mers anticipate another medal-winning perfor- mance during the FINA XIV world masters cham- pionships 2012 to be held in Italy.

Fred Astaire twirling Ginger Rogers? Michael Jackson doing the Moonwalk? So You Think You Can Dance, perhaps? Whether you are a seasoned dancer, or just like to do the Funky Chicken at your friend’s wedding, dance in any form provides benefits for both the body and brain. Rhythm Dynamix Dance has had people on their feet and moving to the beat for nine years in the Durham Region. The school offers unique classes such as breakdance, Argentine tango, house/freestyle, funk, pop and lock, Latino motion, ballroom and more. Whether you have never taken a dance class before or have been dancing for years, now is the time to sign up at Rhythm Dynamix Dance. The studio is still accepting registrations, and they offer classes for all ages and skill levels. If your wedding is coming up and you want to make sure that you don’t trip your way across the dance floor, you can take lessons for your first dance. Dancers can also take advantage of Rhythm’s client incentives such as referral programs and workshops. Research has proven that couples who take dance lessons together are more aware of how to recognize non-verbal cues and better able to express and respond to each other’s body language. Single? Don’t worry, you don’t need a dance partner. Ballroom dance is a social event where people switch partners often, guaranteeing you meet new people. Come out to the next Rhythm Nights on November 5th for an evening of fun! Rhythm Dynamix is always hosting workshops and courses to help you learn or improve your dance moves. On November 6th, you can learn the Viennese Waltz. Learn the Lindy Hop on November 13th and the Quick Step on November 20th. Adult partner dance lessons are also ideal after a long day of work and mundane activities. The endorphins that are released while dancing cause people to feel more happy and positive on a daily basis. The combination of passionate music, expressive movement and human interaction releases tension built up in the muscles while improving the body’s circulatory and respiratory systems. Dancing really does give the treadmill a run for its money! Rather than joining a gym and feeling like a hamster on wheel, why not feed your heart and mind, improve your overall lifestyle and just dance! Rhythm Dynamix Dance is located at 44 Richmond Street West, Unit 102 in Oshawa. For more information, please call (905) 438-1537 or visit the website at www.rhythmdynamixdance.com. HOCKEY Lightning advance to finals DURHAM -- The Durham West Lightning Midget Double-A team, sponsored by Huawei, has jumped into the season with two early tournaments and made it into the championship game in both events. In the prestigious Stoney Creek Showcase tournament, the team was relegated to the C division after losing two games to OHA and Detroit’s Honeybaked and then tying Hamilton. The team’s play improved steadily through the round robin and continued as the girl’s defeated a tough Sarnia team in the quarterfinals and then knocked off Oakville in the semifinal game. This set up the championship game against Mississauga where, despite out- playing the opposition, they just could not solve the Mississauga goalie and came out on the short end by a 2-1 score. In the Oshawa tournament, the team continued its improved play with a 3-0 win over OHA and a 3-1 win over Thessalon. The team was short four regu- lars in their final round robin game against Ottawa and lost 5-4 but still claimed first place in the division. Next up was a semifinal game against Belleville, which Durham won 2-1 in a shootout. This set up the championship game against a very tough Lon- don team. Still short two regulars, the girls fought to the end but just did not have enough steam and lost a 2-1 thriller.
