RUSSELL WILLIAMS’ TRIAL ‘If I die, can you make sure my mom knows I love her’ JUDI BOBBITT jbobbitt@durhamregion.com BELLEVILLE -- It is the story of one man’s sickness and escalating sexual compulsions, numerous women and girls violated, a com- munity stunned and revolted, and families left to mourn the murders of two women who were in the prime of their lives. No one will ever be the same. The stomach-churning saga of Colo- nel David Russell Williams, once a figure of respect as the leader of Canada’s largest air force base, sank to more disturbing depths Tuesday, as a Belleville courtroom struggled to sit through the graphic details of murder. Even the crown attorney had to take a break to compose himself, the courtroom thick with the sounds of sobbing, as the heartbreaking words of a woman begging for her life were described. The 47-year-old Col. Williams, base com- mander at CFB Trenton when he commit- ted his atrocities, has pleaded guilty to mur- dering Corporal Marie-France Comeau, 38, and to killing Jessica Elizabeth Lloyd, 27, who was kidnapped in January, taken to Col. Wil- liams’s cottage in Tweed, raped and tortured. Her corpse was dumped in a field. At the end of Tuesday’s court hearing, Jus- tice Robert Scott passed a verdict of guilt on every count against Col. Williams. The brutal rape and killing of Cpl. Comeau, in her Brighton home last November, was videotaped by the military commander him- self, another piece of evidence in a shocking, lengthy catalogue that he’d carefully doc- umented and preserved. The courtroom, packed with victims’ families and media, was spared viewing the video, but many were reduced to tears as they listened to the crown narrate the harrowing details captured by the camera, showing how Ms. Comeau had struggled, fought back and tried to negotiate for her life. “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die,” Cpl. Comeau pleaded, after being raped and bashed in the head by a flashlight at the hands of Col. Williams, with whom she had worked at CFB Trenton as a flight attendant. “Have a heart, please.” The attack, begun in the basement when she discovered him hiding behind the fur- nace, ended with his placing duct tape over her nose and suffocating her. He tucked her lifeless body into bed, covered her with a duvet, and later, computer evidence suggests, wrote a condolence note to her father. Defence lawyer Michael Edelson had predicted “an extremely difficult day,” and the media had been fore- warned the details were expected to be gruesome. “I think today the nation is getting a good dose of reality,” Ontario Provincial Police Detective Inspector Chris Nicholas said before the hearing opened. “Of just how evil people can be.” The afternoon was given over to equally disturbing evidence surrounding the rape and murder of Ms. Lloyd, details of which were also documented with photos and video taken by Col. Williams. Courtroom spectators sobbed loudly and the Crown broke to compose himself after describing how Ms. Lloyd, after being repeat- edly raped by Col. Williams, had become sick, suffered seizures and had begged to be taken to hospital. “I don’t want to die, please,” she had cried. “If I die, can you make sure my mom knows I love her?” Her mother, Roxanne, carried a framed photo of her daughter to court Monday. Out- side the courtroom, Ms. Lloyd’s brother, Andy Lloyd, said his mother had taken the photo to court to “bring my sister’s face back into it, so that it’s not all about him, and what he’s done and to try to remember that there are families who are very angry at what he’s done.” Ms. Lloyd, who was fully compliant with her attacker as he repeatedly assaulted her and forced her to model lingerie for his camera, was attacked in her own home and later driv- en to Col. Williams’s cottage in Tweed, where the assaults continued. There, court heard, he advised her to “hang in there, baby,” as she begged to be taken to hospital. She was stran- gled with a rope, and her body dumped. The murders were the culmination of a rapidly-escalating series of crimes. Monday, details of Col. Williams’s sexual perversity and obsessions were revealed in court. Four crown attorneys shared the task of reading out the agreed statement of facts; the charges against him took 36 minutes to be read to a silent courtroom. The colonel, who had a penchant for break- ing into women’s homes and photographing himself wearing their underwear and young girl’s underwear, faces an automatic sentence of life in prison, with no possibility of parole for at least 25 years. Col. Williams confessed his crimes at an Ottawa police station Feb. 7, after being stopped at a police roadblock Feb. 4 on Hwy. 37, leading from Belleville to Tweed. The tire treads on his vehicle matched those found at Ms. Lloyd’s home, along Hwy. 37, the day after she disappeared. The colonel is said to have committed 82 home invasions and attempted break-ins between September, 2007 and November, 2009. He broke into 48 different homes in Bel- leville, Tweed and Ottawa, targeting homes where attractive women lived. Two women were sexually assaulted as his behaviour spi- ralled. Col. Williams took “thousands” of pictures of his crimes, Crown attorney Robert Morri- son said. He kept the photographs hidden on hard drives he stored in the ceiling above the basement of his Ottawa home. The court saw numerous pictures of Col. Williams dressed in the panties and bras he stole, often lying on the beds of his victims, masturbating. There were photos of him lying in beds surrounded by the stuffed toys and panties of little girls, and of him wearing negligees and camisoles. “The offences emphasize his obsessive behaviour,” Mr. Morrison said. Near the end of the first, long day of facts Monday, Crown attorney Lee Burgess turned the attention to the first of two sex assaults, in September 2009, near Col. Williams’ Tweed cottage. The victim, known as Jane Doe, is suing Col. Williams over the incident. He broke in while she and her newborn baby slept. He beat her, bound and blindfolded her with pillow cases and fondled her while tak- ing pictures of her naked, leaving after two hours. The hearing continues Wednesday. -- with files from TJ Leblanc, Jekyll and Hyde?

It all began around 1 p.m. on Monday when school administrators were told a stu- dent was seen with a handgun in his waist- band. School officials initiated lockdown procedures and notified police. At the centre of the action was portable 20 on north side of the school which con- tained a teacher and 13 Grade 9 students, including a 14-year-old teen suspect. As police took control of the situation, they worked with administrators to evacu- ate the portables surrounding portable 20 and called in re-enforcements, including the tactical support unit. J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate, an adjoining public school, was also locked down. An increasing number of parents looked on as the lockdown stretched past the nor- mal dismissal time at 2:05 p.m. Police would only say that an investigation was underway and the students were locked down for their safety. Durham police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy said keeping public information to a mini- mum was a key part of the operation. “We didn’t want those inside the porta- ble to become aware and know the opera- tion unfolding around them,” she said, add- ing police are aware most teens carry cell- phones and are in constant communica- tion with each other. Once the tactical support unit and all offi- cers were in place, at roughly 3:15 p.m., the students were told the lockdown was over, but to remain in their classes until transpor- tation became available. Then the teacher was asked to send the student suspect to the office. When the student exited the portable, he was taken into police custody and the other students were escorted out of the building by officers. Shortly after, the rest of the stu- dents were released. Police did not find any weapons on the suspect, but after search- ing the portable, they found a replica pellet handgun and a hammer in a gym bag they say belongs to the suspect. The 14 year old faces two charges of pos- sessing a dangerous weapon. As the drama unfolded, students and par- ents monitored media outlets online and communicated through texting and through social media sites such as Facebook. “We were sitting in class and they called a lockdown and then we all started texting our friends and we heard rumours about stabbings and hostages in portable 20, but we made it and we’re safe, it was kinda scary though,” said Jessica Tyler, a Grade 12 students. “We were pretty freaked out,” said her friend, Alexandra Moncada, also in Grade 12. Sgt. van Rooy said hostage negotiators were present as a precaution and the tac- tical support unit generally responds to reports of an armed suspect. “It was readied for what could have been a worst-case scenario which could have been a hostage taking, which it never was.” Parents expressed fear for their children, but also faith in police as they waited. “What can you do? They’re doing their best, the best thing parents can do is stay out of the way,” said Jeff Kerslake as he wait- ed for his Grade 11 daughter. Both police and board officials praised each other for their teamwork. “We’re very happy that everything worked out without injury to anyone,” said Tracy Barill, superintendant of education for Dur- ham Catholic District School Board. Parents of the students in portable 20 were all contacted Monday evening, she said, and the crisis management team was on hand on Tuesday to provide support to all of the students. “Any event like that is a bit of a shake up for anybody involved,” she said. The school will conduct its own investi- gation into the situation and determine if there will be further consequences for the suspect.

Mr. Brenner agreed they must have one for accountability’s sake, and Mayor Ryan said he did support the Durham-wide ref- erendum on the topic, but didn’t state his own opinion on the subject. “I will support the result of the residents of Durham when it comes forward,” he said. When asked whether they’d support external audits, Mr. Brenner said he had no problem with it since “My life’s an open sto- rybook. “I have no problem with that and certain- ly would support that,” he said. “Transpar- ency is everything.” Mayor Ryan said he had brought for- ward a code of conduct guideline last term, which wasn’t supported by council, but he plans to bring it back. He supports trans- parency and full reporting of all expenses for council. Mr. Nash said, “An outside auditor makes sense.” The candidates were asked about an arts or cultural centre at both debates. Mr. Brenner said, “I do feel that we do need to have that facility in our downtown sub-Pickering, not Seaton.” Mayor Ryan said “that is exactly the plan,” and added to his knowledge, he’s the only candidate who features arts in his plat- form. Mr. Nash said he agrees with an arts cen- tre, and added neighbourhoods need more meeting places. The candidates were asked their opinion on the Northeast Pickering lands. The area, north of Hwy. 7 and west of Lakeridge Road, includes the headwaters of Carruthers Creek but is not part of the Greenbelt. The Region of Durham included future plans to develop the land in its Growth Plan sub- mission to the Province, which Pickering council backed. “I support that growth basically for the industrial growth that resides within it,” Mayor Ryan said. He added at the end of all development, Pickering will remain 60 per cent green. Mr. Nash said the area doesn’t warrant additional growth. “I’m opposed to any new development north of Finch,” he said. Mr. Brenner also doesn’t support the plan to “pave over” the area. “Not on my watch,” he said. “I’m prepared to be a strong community voice.” When asked whether the candidates sup- port locally-grown food, Mr. Brenner said emphasis should be put on local produce during promotions and events, and he praised local farmers’ markets. Mr. Nash said local farmers’ markets are good, “but it’s a problem when all of our farmers are gone.” He said Ontario needs an entirely new farming model, such as promoting the use of smaller farms, considering the expensive land in Ontario. Mayor Ryan said the real need is to invest in farm infrastructure in the GTA, as well as the greenhouse industry. “Durham Region needs its own food ter- minal,” he said. The question didn’t come up, but Mr. Brenner shared his opinion of the possibil- ity of an airport in north Pickering. “Ladies and gentlemen, you don’t want an airport, I don’t want an airport. We don’t need an airport. We need to work together.” He added the City should start consid- ering alternate uses for the federal lands instead.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 20, 20106 P Election day looms for voters in Pickering to choose the men and women who will lead their municipal government for the next four years. Candidates have formed their positions, debated their points and made the effort to make a difference in the com- munity. Following are the candidates whose enthusiasm, ideas and experience the News Advertiser believes would create the best municipal council to lead Pickering over the next term of office. Mayor: Incumbent Dave Ryan has proven that he’s a competent leader who isn’t opposed to consensus building, who is willing to make tough decisions that might be politically unpopular, and who always has Pickering’s best interests within sight. He’s presided over an effective, hard-working council that has seen jobs created locally over the last four years and has led the charge to kick-start development in Pickering’s downtown core with the ongoing support of most council members. He believes in green development, is an advocate of Pickering’s growing and vibrant arts com- munity. But perhaps most importantly, Mr. Ryan is a rare political leader who accepts challenges from constituents and council colleagues with grace and professionalism, fos- tering wider debate and often leading to greater consensus. Ward 1 Local Councillor: In a ward open with Jennifer O’Connell’s move to challenge another incumbent for the Ward 1 regional seat, several able candidates have challenged for the local ward. Kevin Ashe has emerged as the most credible candidate who has built experience as both a Catholic school board trustee and as a previous Ward 1 council representative. As a former mem- ber of Durham’s police services board, he’s got a law-and- order interest and cares deeply about youth in the commu- nity. He’s active and knowledgeable and should be ready to represent Ward 1 residents well over the next four years. Ward 2 Local Councillor: A strong business and environmental background will serve newcomer Ian Cumming well as he represents taxpayers in Pickering’s local east ward. He’ll bring some of business’s best practices to the council table to encourage efficiency and fiscal stewardship, and has been an active member of the ward. He’s been a member of the Citizen’s Group for Traffic Calming on Fairport Road and promises to address such local issues as crime, planning and taxes. He’s a promising candidate we believe will bring a fresh perspective and keen work ethic to Ward 2. Ward 3 Local Councillor: David Pickles is a long-serving, able and energetic coun- cillor who is well respected by council colleagues and cit- izens alike. He’s responsive, professional and has built a depth of knowledge that serves the Millennium City and his local constituents well. He provides a fair and balanced voice to the issues confronting council and can always be relied upon to offer rational judgment. His motions are well researched and practical, which often result in support from the majority of councillors. That’s precisely the approach that helps Pickering Council remain a productive and effec- tive municipal government. Ward 1 Regional Councillor: Incumbent Bonnie Littley remains one of the most envi- ronmentally conscious council representatives in Durham Region. But she’s also practical, as demonstrated in her sup- port of council’s decision not to pursue a costly and unwin- nable legal battle against York Region and it’s ‘Big Pipe’ development in northwest Pickering. She’s well versed on the issues closest to her political heart, including sustain- able development, preserving green space and promot- ing local agriculture. She ably served in the last term at the Regional level and we expect she’ll continue to bring her energy and knowledge to the table locally and regionally. Ward 2 Regional Councillor: Bill McLean was the sole acclaimed candidate in Pickering this election. Ward 3 Regional Councillor: Love him or hate him -- there doesn’t seem to be any in between for this fellow -- incumbent Rick Johnston con- tinues to get things done at the region on behalf of Ward 3 ratepayers and the larger Pickering community. He’s built a strong local base of supporters over his years of service and has encyclopedic knowledge of the issues that affect his area. But there is room for improvement. We strongly encourage the councillor to reign in the spending excesses -- modern communication technology could help reduce to costs of travelling through a large geographic area while still keeping residents informed -- be more transparent with constituents about his activities and achievements and stay focused on what people need. He’s been an effective repre- sentative but could be much more of a leader at the council table. Public School Board Trustee: Chris Braney has proven to be a successful trustee in the past. His focus on improving student performance and pro- moting school safety are key components of his approach, and that has resonated with parents. He should be returned to continue his work at the school board. Veteran Paul Crawford is highly cognizant of the public purse and has the courage to stand behind his convictions. He, too, puts a strong emphasis on student performance and achieve- ment. Catholic School Board Trustee: Venerable trustee Jim McCafferty has years of experience but can still approach issues creatively. He’s a believer in engaging stakeholders, which serves both his faith and his constituents. He’s earned the opportunity to continue representing local Catholics around the school board table. News Advertiser offers its picks for mayor, council, school boards Letter to the editor: Durham Region Transit should link up with Toronto Transit Commission to aid users To the editor: Re: ‘Bus system expansion in Durham underway’, Pickering News Advertiser, Thursday, Oct. 7 At long last, after many years of waiting, Durham Region is finally (we hope) getting a form of rapid transit. I seem to remember from the past when the question was raised about such a system, our far-seeing politicos said such a system would not be needed as there was no requirement in the foreseeable future. I think the crystal ball they were looking at was a bit clouded. This new system will run from Oshawa to Pickering, but why stop there? If this area needs an integrated transit sys- tem why not go the whole way and meet up with the TTC at Port Union? There is a requirement to be able to go to other parts of the GTA from this area without going down- town first, and this link could be in operation now with a minimum of expense. Just let the buses continue along Kingston Road to Shep- pard Avenue and Port Union. All that needs to be done is to overcome the hurdles the bureaucrats keep raising when this suggestion arises. The Region and the local munici- palities must talk to the new transit bosses for Toronto and urge them to extend their new rapid transit rail lines to connect with Pickering and not finish in Scarborough. That way the GTA will have a seamless system and perhaps will now be entering the 21st century. At the moment this whole area is years behind many other cities with regard to this method of conveyance. R.M. Sinclair Pickering It’s strangely unsettling to realize that your kids have become smarter than you. Part of you, quite naturally, is pleased that they’re doing so well. It’s the natural course of things, after all ... evolution. The species should, gen- eration by generation, be getting better. And I think, members of the American Tea Party aside, it is. There’s also a definite sense of pride in seeing your offspring really taking off, finding their own. On the other hand, nothing stings the ego more than getting intellectually ‘owned’ by a 15 year old. “Actually, Dad, fission and fusion are very different processes.” “Actually, Dad, although the abolitionists made it seem like it, slavery wasn’t the prima- ry issue of the Civil War.” “Actually, Dad, the Valence Bond Theo- ry makes that kind of a chemical reaction impossible.” Right. I’ll valence your bond, you little so and so. I have to admit, I miss those days when the children thought, mistakenly or not, that I was a genius. Those days when they hung on every word I said, as though it were pure gold. Those wonderful moments when I could BS my way out of any question and, bless their trusting little hearts, they’d believe me. “Well, boys, leaves fall because the earth’s gravity actually increases at this time of the year.” “Well, boys, as I recall, it was an Italian fella named Macaroni who invented sound.” “Well, boys, they call it the Periodic Table because it only appears every seven years.” Let’s face it, it feels great to have all the answers, even if you’re just making them up. That’s why it’s so hard to take when, in spite of all that misinformation, they still turn out bright. Brighter than you. So yes, it’s a little trippy when suddenly I’m the one asking most of the questions at the dinner table. “So, why did the Soviet Union collapse?” “So, what is the rarest element on earth?” “So, a caesarean section has got nothing to do with a salad bar?” And, of course, the one that I seem to be asking most often of all, “So, how the hell do you know all this stuff?” How do they know all this stuff? I went to high school. For five years. Some of my friends did six ... and they’re not even as smart as I am. Maybe it’s the Internet? God knows, kids these days have more information at their fingertips than we ever did. My children are only ever a couple of mouse clicks away from the answer to virtually any question. Most of the kids I grew up with fed their brains a steady diet of The Flintstones, Red Skelton and Bonanza, with an occasional spike in cerebral activity whenever the Book- mobile came out to our neck of the ’burbs. But none of this is any real excuse. Like my children, I have a computer and full access to the web. I suppose it might help a little if I spent my time Googling things of actual rel- evance instead of stuff like ‘Whatever hap- pened to the guy who played Potsie on Happy Days?’ or ‘Where can I buy electric socks?’ or even, ‘The Best Knock-Knock Joke ever’. I just can’t help myself. I guess some people are born to expand the universe through their knowledge. And some of us are born to make faces and do armpit farts. Oh well, even Einstein liked to laugh now and then. --Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 20, 2010What’s the best thing about being Canadian?

STEVEN E. FRANKLIN In January 2010, Trent University was pleased to announce its vision to create a new dedicated campus for the continued deliv- ery of its undergraduate programming in Oshawa. The Trent University Oshawa Thornton Road campus, adjacent to the Civic Centre, opened its doors on Sept. 7. Over the next seven years, the campus will grow to accom- modate more than 1,624 students and will inject more than $175 million into Oshawa’s economy. Along with the expansion of Trent’s presence in Oshawa come several econom- ic benefits for the Region. Firstly, the work required to prepare the new campus repre- sents a one-time economic benefit. Trent’s Thornton Road campus was com- pletely refurbished and the university’s expenditures on the project, together with the ‘rolling over’ effects of these expenditures in the local economy, will generate $13.5 million in economic activity for the Oshawa region. In 2010, the construction work alone has created enough economic activity to sup- port the equivalent of about 160 full-time jobs in the area. Secondly, the university’s ongoing opera- tions represent another longer-term stimulus for the region. Trent University has prepared budgets reflecting the ongoing expenditures expected for its Oshawa campus, for 2010 to 2017. During this period, expenditures will grow in the range of $1 million per year start- ing with about $4 million in the first year of operation (i.e. salaries and wages, supplies, facilities maintenance, etc). The total amount of economic activity resulting from Trent’s expenditures from now until 2017 amounts to $63 million. Meanwhile, Trent’s enrol- ment predictions project 1,624 students in 2017. The economic impact of the students can be considered in two ways. First, there will be students who will choose to stay in the Oshawa area to attend Trent and spend their money locally. This represents the retention of economic activity rather than the attraction of new students from outside the community. Second, students from elsewhere will come to the area specifically to attend Trent. By using current estimates of student expendi- tures while attending university, the ultimate economic impact including multiplier effects will amount to approximately $9.3 million in the coming year to almost $21 million in 2017. Overall, the total amount of economic activity that can be attributed to Trent’s activ- ities in Oshawa, directly and indirectly, at its new facilities from now until 2017 represents more than $175 million for the Oshawa area. As much as there are economic benefits that can be estimated in dollar terms, the greatest benefits may come from the less easily quan- tifiable spinoffs for the Oshawa community. The thousands of Trent alumni who com- pleted courses in Oshawa over our 36-year history are a testament to how the university is adding human capital to the City of Oshawa and Durham Region. In April 2009, the num- ber of identified Trent alumni in the Oshawa/ Durham region was 2,862. Since then, two more classes have graduated, increasing the number of Trent alumni in the area to more than 3,000. The 2005 Statistics Canada estimate of the average income of those with Bachelor’s degrees was $62,287. Therefore, the income earned by Trent alumni in the Oshawa/Dur- ham area is in excess of $185 million annually. Just as important, Trent’s liberal arts and sci- ence programs are producing graduates who are contributing in all fields of endeavour and adding to the quality of life of the community. Trent University is honoured to be an integral part of Oshawa’s future and we look forward to continuing our partnerships. -- Dr. Steven E. Franklin is president and vice-chancellor of Trent University. Trent University has delivered courses in Oshawa since 1975. Letters to the editor Two views on either side of gun registry debate Registry data saves lives To the editor: As a former Toronto police officer of 31 years and a designated child domestic/ sexual abuse investigator, I would like to respond to the J.Ewans letter about the gun registry program. When the gun registry took hold and a domestic call was received, this regis- try was a good tool and still is to advise responding officers about any registered rifles in the home before arriving on scene. An investigator has to know if a suspect possesses firearms prior to a court release. This information does save lives. If one life is saved, the few million involved in this registry is worth it. I really don’t think this is turning any- one into criminals but making people who own deadly weapons more responsible and protecting those who are more vul- nerable in our society. Bill McLean Retired detective 2332, Regional Councillor Ward 2 City of Pickering Registry is money wasted To the editor: Re: ‘Gun owners must obey the law’, let- ter to the editor, newsdurhamregion.com, Sept. 27. Mr. Sawdon, as a fellow Pickering resi- dent, please rest assured, we do obey the law more than most. That’s entirely why the long gun registry is money wasted on a system which tar- gets so many of your good-natured neigh- bours. You know, those neighbours who are already qualified, approved, police certi- fied and registered through the firearms licensing system. So, sleep easy in your bed knowing that the duplication of the long gun registry makes you extra safe. Of course, there is no registry that lists violent criminals who have a lifetime fire- arms ban or violent spouses who have a restraining order against them. No, it makes much more sense to create paper registration certificates to follow around legal firearms.

Pilates Reformer Small Group Training durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 20, 201010 AP SignsSigns of an electionof an election in Durhamin Durham WHITBY -- David Glover was busy putting up election signs on Rossland Road in Whitby recently. Mr. Glover has been involved in helping put up election signs for about 15 years. During that time, he’s developed an eye for what does and doesn’t work with signage for election campaigns. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Sign campaign chairman discusses do’s and don’t’s of the process PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A surefire sign that an election is in full swing is a sea of candidates’ faces and names blanketing a municipality. Sprouting along roadways, lawns and just about any- where people are expected to be, a sign campaign can be the most effective tool for reeling in the votes -- if done right. After nearly 20 years of being involved in municipal, provincial and federal elections, including as head of sev- eral sign campaigns for the last five years, Whitby resident David Glover has developed an eye for what works and what doesn’t. “One of the things I learned very quickly is everybody is an armchair quarterback and everybody is a sign expert,” quips Mr. Glover, who has led sign campaigns for Whitby- Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty and MPP Christine Elliott. “They all know exactly how and where to put them up, in at least their minds, but it’s a little bit trickier than that.” Mr. Glover is currently in charge of Whitby regional councillor candidate Lorne Coe’s sign campaign dur- ing this election but took a break from his busy schedule to chat with This Week about what exactly goes into the whole process. Election sign campaigns typically span several weeks, requiring thousands of dollars and the assistance of dozens of volunteers to coordinate, from planning and designing to placement and the inevitable repairs. Some signs capture interest right off the bat while others help build momentum and maintain interest leading up to voting day. “Depending on whether you’re using capital letters for the initial and then small letters following, you’re trying to firm up or soften down the candidate,” Mr. Glover says, discussing the subliminal messages signs can send. “The more clutter you’ve got on the sign, the more confusing it is for people to see it so it’s got to be pretty straightforward and the simpler the sign, the stronger the message.” There are three basic sizes to choose from for displays, and bigger is not always better, he says. Smaller signs, typically 1.5 feet wide by 2.5 feet high, are usually placed on private property throughout subdi- visions and can be the most powerful for highlighting a candidate’s overall appeal. “It’s very meaningful to neighbours and anybody around when you’ve got the commitment of people who are willing to put a sign on their property, so those are the ones you try to get a lot of.” The next size up, usually measuring about two by four feet, is the most suitable for “prime private property” spots and can serve as the best way to gain visibility, he added. “If somebody lives on a major street like Thickson, Dun- das or Brock, then typically you would try to put a larger sign on their property because it’s more noticeable.” The largest size, roughly four feet by eight feet, is used primarily for busy intersections. There tends to be less of these during municipal elections than provincial or fed- eral campaigns. “You’re probably only looking at 25 or 50 of those larger signs because they can be rather imposing.” When it comes to deciding where to place signs, it’s all about personal preference, Mr. Glover says. “You can drive down a street and say there’s a good loca- tion and somebody else would drive right past it,” said Mr. Glover, adding he tries to avoid clusters that dominate municipal elections with the higher number of candi- dates. “You can easily go by a corner and there are 10 signs ups. It’s important to be one of the 10 but it’s more important to have your sign another 100 metres down the road.” The main function of any sign campaign is to generate interest and enthusiasm toward an election, ultimately persuading more people to vote, he says. “You can’t drive through anywhere in Durham with- out knowing there’s an election going on and that’s really important because you want people to participate.” It’s very meaningful to neighbours and anybody around when you’ve got the commitment of people who are willing to put a sign on their property so those are the ones you try to get a lot of.

High Property Taxes Stop Sprawl Protect the Environment Protect Farmlands Community Safety Public Transit Linkages Accessibility and Inclusion Candidates address planning, traffic KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The East Shore Community Centre was packed Wednesday night as resi- dents heard what local candidates had to say about Pickering’s future. The Pickering East Shore Community Asso- ciation (PESCA) hosted a debate for Pickering school trustees, mayoral and Ward 2 candi- dates. Since Regional Councilor Bill McLean has been acclaimed, he just gave a statement of thanks. Residents lined up to question the Ward 2 City council candidates on a number of issues from gridlock to planning, but the debate heated up when they were asked about accepting campaign donations from developers. Candidate Pasquale Malandrino said he hasn’t accepted any donations for his cam- paign, but “I can tell you that certain people in office can be bought.” Current councillor Doug Dickerson said “I wish he’d explain who he thinks that is because he’d be explaining it to a judge.” He admitted to accepting contributions from developers as well as local business- es, builders and residents, but assured the residents the $750 maximum contribution doesn’t sway his decisions. “If anyone thinks that any (decisions) of council can be bought for $750, I suggest they go outside and give their heads a shake,” he said. Garth Atkinson said he’s received a total of $200 in donations from his niece. Ian Cum- ming said he’s collected only $300, none from developers, adding he doesn’t believe devel- oper contributions would sway his decisions, nor would a local resident’s donation. When asked about scale and scalability and the importance of planning, Mr. Malandri- no said what and how have to be analyzed, and council must ensure the concerns are addressed without adversely affecting sur- rounding communities. Coun. Dickerson explained the City’s Offi- cial Plan is meant to address proper plan- ning, and is currently undergoing a review, and added the public is engaged in that plan. Mr. Malandrino said Coun. Dickerson has supported charrettes in the past, which he found were unfair, saying the participants were hand-picked. “In my opinion, that is a faulty system,” he said. Mr. Dickerson said “nothing could be fur- ther from the truth in that statement” and said average residents were chosen for char- rettes. The current councillor also pointed to a map showing mass development all along Bayly Street that was being distributed at the meeting with “Current Council vision by 2015” handwritten on the paper. He said it appeared to be a conceptual drawing, and not one council had even seen. “Whoever is distributing this, shame on you,” he said. Mr. Cumming said he hasn’t seen proper public involvement in city planning and said residents always suspect things are happen- ing, but only find out the truth in the eleventh hour. And he couldn’t say much for planning. “I haven’t seen the scale and scalability here at all,” he said. Mr. Atkinson said planning is a complex issue with the Province dictating densities and the Region of Durham giving goals, but said Pickering needs a better plan. “It has appeared to be very random throughout the city,” he said. In general statements, Coun. Dickerson said he plans to fight for an off-ramp from Highway 401 at Liverpool Road, as well as a connected sidewalk all across Kingston Road. Mr. Cumming said he wouldn’t be run- ning if he were happy with the past term of council and said Pickering needs more busi- ness experience, as well as a published devel- opment plan. Mr. Atkinson said he plans to address traffic and parking issues, the short- age of a grocery store south of Bayly Street, to ensure taxpayers will get good value for their dollars, and he’ll fight for what the residents want. “I am biased for Ward 2,” he said. Mr. Malandrino said he’d advocate for an easing of the residential tax burden, encour- age growth in responsible industry and make sure all future development is properly assessed and ensure surrounding communi- ties will not be adversely affected by urban sprawl.

The puppy was inside a carrier with a taped gate, an indication the dog had been kept in there, said Debby Hough- ton, an animal abuse investigator for the humane society. A woman brought the dog, which is a black and white female boxer-type puppy, into the society office around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16. The woman said she found the puppy in an open crate in a local park. Ms. Houghton says the woman left before she could be questioned. “She left, so no information was taken from her. I would like to speak to her. We want to get details from her. It would help my investigation,” Ms. Houghton states. The initial examination of the puppy found it was “extremely emaciated and dehydrated. Its eyes were shut and cov- ered with discharge, and there was dis- charge coming from its nose,” the soci- ety states in a press release. The puppy was taken to a local ani- mal emergency clinic and put on an IV, Ms. Houghton notes, adding the society doesn’t want the clinic name released for safety reasons. The vet treating the dog estimated it had been without water for at least three days and there’s a concern the puppy could have kidney damage because of the lack of water. Her original prognosis was “criti- cal”, but she’s “doing better. She’s eat- ing every hour. She’s on fluids, an IV to hydrate her better,” Ms. Houghton says. “It will still be a long haul. She was in pretty bad condition.” She describes the situation as “dis- gusting.” Inside the carrier was dried feces, Ms. Houghton says. “I kind of think the puppy was being kept in there.” The dog also had sores on the bottom of her feet, an indication she wasn’t able to move around. “It’s kind of like bed sores.” Staff at the clinic named the dog Faith because “we’re hoping every- thing works out for her,” Ms. Houghton notes. Ms. Houghton says it would be at least one month before the dog could be adopted out.

And this Saturday, Oct. 23 the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association and volunteers will hold its annual boot drive at various locations to carry on that tradition. For the past five years, the firefight- ers have chosen specifically to donate the money they raise to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital in order to keep the money in the local community and to ben- efit Durham residents. This year, it will spe- cifically go toward the hospital’s Image Is Everything campaign for an MRI. There’s no real fundraising goal for this year, but the campaign has proven success- ful in the past. “Last year we raised about $15,000,” said Neil DeLory, Pickering Professional Fire- fighters Association’s public relations direc- tor. So residents are asked to look out for the firefighters and hospital volunteers collect- ing loose change at various entrances and exits in and around different shopping cen- tres in Pickering. The boot drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 23. “We’ll have approximately 30 firefighters and hopefully another 30 volunteers from the hospital and such,” Mr. DeLory said. The firefighters look forward to the annu- al day when they give up their time to help out. “It’s just a good day out,” Mr. DeLory said. “Hopefully the weather will co-operate.” SEALY FIRM SET WITH MEMORY FOAM NEW HI PROFILE MATTRESS 11” of perfect balance, softness & support $1,67995 NOW FROM NEW HI PROFILE MATTRESS 11” of perfect balance, softness & support $$$$59595 NOW FROM Other sizes and models available SEALY POSTURE-PEDIC POCKET COIL T-MAT $43900 SET $59995 F-MAT $47900 SET $66995 T-MAT $49900 SET $69995 T-MAT $74900 SET $108995 T-MAT ....$32900 F ...$34995 Q ..$36900 K ...$62995 T-SET .....$48900 F ...$54995 Q ..$59900 K ...$97995 Plush Set!

AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering school council projects are being enhanced this year to encourage more parental activity in child education. Twenty-three schools across Ajax and Pickering will receive grants ranging between $600 and $1,000 each in order to help fund programs that help par- ents connect with schools. The Parent Reaching Out grants have already helped some of the 23 funded programs, which includes J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate’s Par- ents Community Link Program and St. Bernadette Catholic School’s speaker series, Reach Every Par- ent, Teach Every Parent. All school boards in Ontario are required to have a parent involvement committee by Jan. 31.

Boards and committees appointed by council are also getting a fresh start. Among them is the library board and Donna Bright, Ajax’s chief librarian and exec- utive officer, said applications are current- ly being accepted for membership on the board. The library board will be appointed by the new council following the municipal election and applications are due on Oct. 29. Among its duties, the library board is respon- sible for approving the budget to be present- ed to Ajax council and setting long-term goals for the library. Board positions are unpaid. Ajax’s library board is composed of seven members of the public and two councillors. Provincial rules state councillors cannot hold a majority of the seats. The members of the public appointed to the board cannot work for the library or for the Town and must be Ajax residents over the age of 18 and Canadi- an citizens. Ms. Bright said, ideally, a diverse group of people will apply. “You’re looking for a board to represent and mirror the community.” She points out that the Ajax library current- ly has about 30,000 members. Though some of those members are ineligible, such as chil- dren and newcomers, Ms. Bright said that still represents a large pool of people who may consider the position. “Of those 30,000 people, there’s got to be more than seven people interested in being appointed to the board,” she said. Though the appointment is for four years, Ms. Bright said the time commitment is not onerous. The board meets monthly, with a minimum of 10 meetings per year, for about two to three hours.

SCARBOROUGH -- It was a great weekend of basketball for the senior and junior girls’ teams at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. Both Lady Cougars teams won their respective divisions at the Scarborough Basketball Associa- tion tournament over the weekend, and combined have an undefeated record of 30-0 on the season. The senior team upped its record to 20-0 in league and tournament play, winning a tournament for the third time this season after previous victories in the Limestone Tourna- ment in Kingston and the News- Advertiser Tournament earlier this month in Ajax. “It was a good tournament for us and we were able to play some of the other top teams in the GTA,” said head coach Rose Booker of the competition in Scarborough. “Downsview is ranked eighth and Eastern Commerce is ninth. The team ran the floor well and played an aggressive style of defence” in claiming the gold. In the semifinal, Notre Dame beat Downsview 46-36 as Lindsay Panchan scored 10 points, while Kadeja Hughes and Shanica Baker had eight each. In the other semi, Eastern Commerce beat Pickering 52-47. Panchan had another big game in the final, pouring in 21 in a 58-34 thrashing of Eastern Commerce. Dakota Whyte had 12 and Baker 11 to lead the way. Whyte was named tournament MVP, while Baker and Pickering’s Taijah Campbell were named tour- nament all-stars. The junior team also bested the competition, finishing on top of the 12-team tournament to win gold. It was an all-Notre Dame semifi- nal, with the Ajax school beating its counterpart from Burlington 50-36. In the final, Notre Dame finished strong with a 60-49 victory over Pope John Paul II to win the tour- nament. Scoring in the final was Lorraine Enabuele with 24 points, Kimeisha Henry with 13 and Jeri Lou Almosol with nine. Enabuele was named the tour- nament MVP and both she and Kimeisha Henry were named to the all-star team. The junior Cougars know have a season record of 10-0. BASKETBALL Double gold for Notre Dame HOCKEY Durham West Lightning make a point during road trip PWHL team competitive in pair of weekend outings BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Durham West Junior Light- ning enjoyed a high level of success on the weekend, even though they came up just short of putting their first win on the board. After a 19-day break between Provincial Women’s Hockey League games, the Lightning hit the road for a pair of matchups, claiming one of four points with a 3-2 loss to Southwest (Windsor) on Saturday and a 3-3 tie against Bluewater (Strathroy) on Sunday. Both games went down to the final minutes before the out- come was decided. “The kids are still learning how to win,” said head coach Wayne McDonald. “We’ve got a lot of new kids to the league and they are still find- ing their way. Once they get leads at this point, they start gripping their sticks a lot tighter than they normally would.” Saturday, the Lightning were tied 2-2 late into the game, but a goal with just 3:45 remaining by Southwest gave them the two points. Shan- non Stewart and Carly Marchment had the goals for the Lightning, with assists to SaraJane Pratt, Emily Kekewich and Marissa Redmond. McDonald said the team was disappointed with the result, feeling the Lightning played well enough to win. Sunday’s game against Bluewater was one- sided in the shot department but not on the scoreboard. Lightning goaltender Chantal Bicket faced 40 shots, while her teammates fired 24 the other way. After falling behind 1-0 through the opening period, Redmond, with a pair, and Kaitlyn Mullett gave the Lightning a 3-1 lead through two periods. In the third, Bluewater counted a power-play goal to pull to within one, and then tied the game with just 15 seconds left and the goalie pulled. “It was as good a goal as you’re ever going to see in hockey,” said McDonald of the equalizer, a one-timer from the high slot. An overtime didn’t produce a winner, with Bluewater holding a 7-0 edge in shots on goal, according to pointstreak.com. “Even though it was disappointing not to win the game, it was satisfying not to lose the game,” said McDonald, adding that on paper, Bluewa- ter has a better team. Marchment had a pair of assists in the game, with one each to Victoria MacDonald and Stewart. This weekend the Lightning, 0-2-1-1 in league play, will take another road trip, this time to the United States to play three NCAA schools. Fri- day the Lightning play Buffalo State, Saturday it’s Utica and on Sunday the opposition will be Potsdam. League play resumes on Friday, Oct. 29 with a game in Brampton. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 20, 201019 AP On Thursday, September 30, 2010, the Durham Region Soccer Association hosted the 2010 Volunteer Recognition Event at the Bowmanville Indoor Centre. The Ajax Soccer Club volunteer to be recognized this year was Les Smith. Les started as many other parents do, volunteering to coach a house league team which his children were part of. Les might be the dad on the bench and without asking - he is also dad in the middle of the fi eld or gym helping a child that needs his assistance. As a non-profi t organization, volunteers like Les - that give of their personal time unselfi shly - are what make a club successful and prove that volunteers are its greatest asset. Les is an individual that does not know the word “NO” and is always willing to lend a hand and if he is unable to do something, he is the fi rst to reach out and help fi nd another volunteer. Les is always looking to learn from others, and will mentor others and share what he has learned over the years. Ronda Evans who held the role of the Director for the Ajax Soccer Club (ASC) in 1999 donated countless hours of volunteer time. With her expertise in governance for not-for-profi t organizations, Ronda was a driving force behind the successful development of a new constitution for the Ajax Club. As well, she ran the 2000 Soccer Players in 2000 for 2000 minutes - a successful fundraising campaign for the ASC. Ronda was recognized by the Ajax Adult Recreation Soccer Club for her work with the Superstar Women over Thirty (SWOT). Cheryl Browning, the Club Registrar for the Ajax Soccer Club was also recognized for her dedication to volunteerism by the Durham Soccer League (DSL). She started volunteering with the Ajax Soccer Club in 1996 and in 2000 she accepted a position on the Board of Directors and continues to give of her time. In 2008, Cheryl started with the DSL as the Treasurer for the Boys Division and has now accepted the role of Treasurer for the league. As well, the following volunteers from clubs within Durham were recognized by the Region: Marty Rose (Ajax United), Kathryn Young (Brock), Kathleen Pasquet (Darlington), Carly Harrison (Durham Open Ladies), Dave Long (Oshawa Kicks), Sharon Hall, (Oshawa NASC), Larry Down (Oshawa Turul), Larry LeBlanc (Picker- ing), Nicole Kennedy (Pickering United), Will Heywood (Scugog), Donna Hughson (Uxbridge), Paul Miller (Westshore), Doug French (Whitby Iroquois), Glen McDonald (Durham Region Referees).

The margin of defeat was the big- gest of the season, as they fell 8-1 to the visiting Cobourg Cougars at the Pickering Recreation Complex. According to pointstreak.com, the Panthers mustered just 16 shots on goal, while Cobourg was credited with 35 on the night. Just two weeks earlier, the Pan- thers also fell to Cobourg in what was, prior to Friday’s game, their worst defeat of the season, a 7-1 loss that night. Khalid Alli had the only goal for the Panthers, who were already down 2-0 at the time in the first period. Cobourg closed out the period with another goal, added three more in the second and a pair in the third. Ryan Carlisle started in goal for the Panthers, but was pulled 2:52 into the second period after giving up the fifth goal on just 17 shots. Adam Stein stopped 15 of the 18 he faced. The Panthers (2-13-0) will look to break a six-game losing streak on Friday when they host the Toronto Jr. Canadiens at 7:30 p.m. HOCKEY Panthers lose sixth straight SUBMITTED PHOTO Tennis aces AJAX -- The Ajax/Sandy Beach ladies’ tennis team had a great sum- mer season, winning both the Ladies Intercounty Tennis Association ‘B’ East Division and the finals, beating Ontario Racquet Club, at the Rexall Centre.

Scoring was led by Alexan- dra Doyle (16 goals), Emma Price (six goals), Destiny Halket (five goals) and Dan- ielle Mitrevski (four goals). The team was coached by Gord Schilling and Philip Marmina, while the team manager was Ron Taylor and trainer was Anita Boyd.
