Now, years later, six of Canada’s Vanishing Heroes have been kind enough to share their stories with our journalists. Norm Lawton, William Osaduke, Douglas Franks, William McGee, Terry Michael and Art Davey sat down recently and allowed us via video to open a small window on their experiences in war. In a lighter moment, Mr. Michael recalls the two months he spent liv- ing in the once private quarters of Adolph Hitler aboard a wartime yacht. A tearful Mr. Davey shared a near- death experience with us. “When he got on one knee, he pulled his Luger and shot at my head. He missed. I was looking right in his eyes and I could see but couldn’t understand how he’d fired so close and had missed my head.... it’s an awful thing to relive this, I don’t often do it.” WATCH the video story and read their stories @ durhamregion.com and FINANCIAL SERVICES JD INSURANCE JONES - DOOLEY INSURANCE BROKERS 905.427.3595 JDInsurance.ca “Personal Service Makes A Difference”Travel, Health, Life, Auto, Home & More...

Natasha Samuel said her native St. Lucia was devastated when Hurricane Tomas swept through on Oct. 30.Almost the entire island, A quarter of the size of Durham Region and with a population of just 174,000, was impacted. At least 14 people have died and others saw significant dam- age, including flooding, to their homes. “Of course I’m St. Lucian and it’s really hard hearing that kind of news about your homeland especially when you’re far away and feel helpless,” she said. Ms. Samuel said most of her family still lives on the island and thankfully she’s heard from most of them. They were among those impacted by the hurricane, with her grandmother’s house flood- ed and mud pouring into her aunt’s home, covering the floors. “Lives were lost, at least 14 people now, people lost their homes, communities are still inaccessible,” she said. A former Ajax resident, Ms. Samuel will be collecting items for the hurricane victims at both Ajax and Oshawa fire halls. She will take the collected items to the St. Lucian consulate to ship. The following items are among those needed: water containers, canned foods, especially evapo- rated milk, dry food, batteries, flasks, small transistor radios, lanterns or flashlights, clean- ing supplies and sanitary wipes, blankets and bed sheets, sleep- ing bags, diapers for both chil- dren and adults, infant food and formula. “Please come out and help a worthy cause, it’s a great time of need and we need Canada’s sup- port,” said Ms. Samuel. She will be collecting items until Nov. 20, but she urges peo- ple to donate as soon as possi- ble. Anyone interested in helping is encouraged to contact her. “I’m happy to get more peo- ple involved, it does not have to be St. Lucians of course, anyone who’s available.” For more information con- tact Ms. Samuel at home at 905- 728-8428 or on her cellphone at 905-925-6282. Fire hall loca- tions include 900 Salem Rd. N. in Ajax and 199 Adelaide Ave. W. in Oshawa. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Jessica and Jon Lane helped Natasha Samuel, front, collected donations for St. Lucia resi- dents. The tiny Caribbean island was devastated by Hurricane Tomas. Drop-off points are all Ajax and Oshawa fire halls. With them were Michael Gamba and Keith Doucette, Ajax Fire. No rehabilitation for wild animals in Durham Region JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A few weeks ago, Kathryn Turchin woke up in the middle of the night to what she thought was her pet cat Simon crying at the back door. After venturing outside, she found a badly injured raccoon frantically trying to get under the backyard deck. "I could see that he was hurt, his leg was bleeding," the Oshawa woman recalls. "I felt terrible because this little guy was obviously in a lot of pain." Ms. Turchin says she didn't touch the animal because she was afraid it might have rabies. Instead she pulled out the phone book, hoping to find a local organization that could help -- and was stunned to learn that there aren't any. "The only option was the pound, and they just put them down," she said, refer- ring to the City's animal services depart- ment. The raccoon ended up limping away and Ms. Turchin assumes it died. She was left feeling "guilty and helpless." Oshawa's Tanya Harrington had a simi- lar experience this month when she came across an eight-week-old baby squirrel that had been attacked by a dog. She tried to nurse him back to health while making phone call after phone call in an effort to find someone local who could rehabili- tate the tiny critter. "There's absolutely nothing in Durham Region. There is no place to get informa- tion on care, there are no vets who will help, there is no one who is an expert on wildlife," she says. "The only option here is to euthanize them. I think a lot of people would be shocked if they knew that." Ms. Harrington finally ended up taking the squirrel -- that she named Rocky as a nod to his fighting spirit -- to the Toron- to Wildlife Centre. He died minutes after arriving, before staff there could treat him. The experience left her heartbroken. She now plans to lobby at the provincial and regional level to get funding for wild- life services in Durham. Nathalie Karvonen, a biologist and executive director of the Toronto Wildlife Centre, says her organization is the only one if its kind in the GTA, which means it is inundated with calls from surrounding areas. The centre is a registered charity that rescues and rehabilitates sick, injured or orphaned wild animals with a goal of releasing them back into the wild. It admits about 5,000 animals a year and fields 30,000 calls to its Wildlife Hotline -- numbers Ms. Karvonen says are just the tip of the iceberg. "That doesn't meet the need, but it's all we can do," she says. "We're always strug- gling to raise funds." The field of wildlife care and rehabili- tation is complex -- not just anyone can care for a sick or hurt wild animal. Licences and permits are needed to treat the various species protected by federal and provincial legislation, while money is also a challenge. "Funding is the big issue, you need a lot of money to survive in this field," Ms. Kar- vonen says. "A lot of the animals require very specialized caging and very expen- sive medical care." Most municipal pounds don't have the expertise or resources to deal with sick or hurt wildlife, so they simply euthanize them. Veterinary offices face similar obstacles and typically won't accept wildlife, Ms. Karvonen said. Ms. Harrington acknowledges that many people don't see injured squirrels or other wildlife as a funding priority, but she says Canada should be protecting its most vulnerable citizens. "If a dog or a cat got hurt and ended up being euthanized for no reason, peo- ple would be outraged," she said. "They should be outraged about this too." Durham residents who find a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal or bird can call TWC's Wildlife Hotline seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 416- 631-0662 or visit www.torontowildlife- centre.com for information.

We would pick him up and he would be wearing his beret, his poppy and medals pinned to his heavy winter coat. He was a career soldier who fought during the Second World War before serving as an officer with the United Nations. He also lost his only brother during the war, F/O Russell Campbell, who was shot down while serving as a flight engineer in a Lancaster bomber. For years, no one in our fam- ily knew what had happened to Russell, only that one of his crew members survived, while the rest were buried together in Reich- swald Cemetery in Germany. That all changed on a cool, over- cast March day in 1997. After placing an ad in the Legion Magazine, my dad discovered the sole surviving member of my great-uncle’s crew, tail gunner Jack McQueen, was living in Burling- ton. So my grandfather, uncle, dad and I made arrangements to meet with him to finally learn what hap- pened to Russell so many years ago. After saying our hellos, we gathered in Jack’s living room and this is what he told us. On the night of Oct. 9, 1944, while on a bombing raid over Bochum, Germany, Jack noticed a Me-109 nightfighter appear out of nowhere and start firing at their Lancaster. Attempts to shoot the fight- er failed because the Lancast- er’s 30mm cannon was too weak, while the Me-109, equipped with a more powerful 50mm guns, could sit back and pick off the massive bomber. The Lancaster was a sit- ting duck. All Jack could remember about the final moments inside the plane was the chaos of fire, smoke and the shouts of his crew mates. Their plane was heading into a tailspin and he only had a few seconds to bail out if he wanted to survive. It was at this point in the story my grandfather asked if his broth- er was still alive as they hurled towards the earth, but Jack didn’t know. All he could remember right before jumping was getting his leg jammed in the door hatch, his boot ripping off as he parachuted to safety. When he reached the ground, he got tangled in a tree, where he was forced to stay overnight. From his vantage point above the wreckage, he could tell there was no chance any of his crew members survived. The next morning he was picked up by a farmer and turned over to the local authorities, but not before examining the wreckage. Jack talked about seeing the charred, mangled remains of the plane, of not being able to make out what had become of his crew mates and friends. As I sat there taking in the con- versation with a lump in my throat, I thought how awful it was my grandfather never had a chance to say goodbye to his only brother. I’m sure it’s something my grand- father grappled with his whole life, despite being a battle-hardened soldier who experienced his fair share of loss throughout the war, I will also never understand the grief and heartache my great- grandparents went through. Weeks after the crew was shot down, my great-grandparents received a telegram notifying them their eldest son was missing in action over Germany. A few weeks later, they received a telegram say- ing their other son, my grandfa- ther, had been wounded in action. Russell had also left behind a fiancee, Edna Manion, who would visit our family for years following the war. This kind of tragedy played out across the country for countless families during the war and one I’m not sure my generation can ever truly appreciate. Jack waited years to talk about his experience during the war because of the tremendous guilt he felt. His daughter said, “Dad not only wanted to leave the memo- ries of terror behind, but he always blamed himself for being shot down and felt guilty being the only crew member to survive.” During our visit, there was a Lan- caster restoration project at the Hamilton airport, so after we said goodbye to Jack we went to go see the massive bomber up close. As I sat inside the bomber, I couldn’t get over how cramped and uncomfortable it was. I remember sitting in the turret and felt a chill just thinking about the crewmen forced to spend hours on end in the freezing cold, thousands of feet in the air, often with enemy fighters and flak as deadly companions. It was where my great-uncle and thousands of other young Canadi- ans would spend their final hours. While I doubt we can ever fully comprehend the sacrifice made by veterans and those who never returned from war, hopefully we can at least honour it, if only for one day a year.

DURHAM -- Durham residents are asked to be a Santa to a local senior this Christmas. Every year the program Home Instead Senior Care partners with local non-profit and community organizations to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive gifts. The company then works with local businesses and retail stores to facilitate the purchase of gifts. Trees placed in stores are deco- rated with ornaments that each have a senior's name and gift request written on them. Shoppers pick an ornament, buy the gift requested and give the ornament and gift to a store employee. Volunteers then collect, wrap and deliver the gifts in time for Christmas. There are 10 stores in Durham participating in the program this year, including Zellers stores in Oshawa, Whitby and Courtice. For a complete list of local stores, visit www.beasantatoasenior.com.

As a former university student, I, like many former students, recognize the value of having a university in our community. Having a university in Durham will allow for our community to grow economical- ly, socially and culturally over time. Many people would like to understand about the value of having a university. I hope the new councils in Durham pro- mote the benefits of having a university in our region and the longer term benefits. The graduating students from high schools in Durham are heading into fas- cinating fields of study in the next stage of their life and it is hoped they would choose UOIT. Councils and the Province then need to work on providing opportunities for these students to stay in Durham. Mark Canning Clarington Shinerama event fights cystic fibrosis To the editor: Re: Shinerama car wash photo, Whitby This Week, Sept. 23, 2010. I was thrilled to see the coverage of the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology/Durham College Shinerama event that was held at five car wash loca- tions on Saturday, Sept. 11. Unfortunately, the caption incorrectly stated that Shinerama supports cerebral palsy research, when in fact, Shinerama is a signature event of the Canadian Cys- tic Fibrosis Foundation, its local chap- ters and Canadian universities and col- leges across Canada. It is important to clarify the common confusion between these two conditions and to ensure that the purpose behind Shinerama is well understood. Shin- erama began 46 years ago and is now Canada’s largest post-secondary school fundraiser and a mainstay of orientation week on campuses across the country. Since 1964, college and university stu- dents have raised more than $20.5 mil- lion in the fight against cystic fibrosis, which remains the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian chil- dren and young adults. Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of working with wonder- ful young people from Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in the planning and execu- tion of their Shinerama events. On Sept. 11, I visited all five car wash locations and marvelled at the commit- ment and enthusiasm of young peo- ple who were helping others. While the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Shinerama campaign supports cystic fibrosis research, it also demonstrates how university and college students shine in their own right. Mitch LePage President Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Durham Region Chapter New MS treatments should be available in Canada To the editor: I recently read about Canadians hav- ing to travel out of the country to receive multiple sclerosis treatments. This is an issue to me because in Can- ada we expect to have one of the best health-care systems in the world and to not have this crucial procedure being done in Canada is unethical. Approximately 50,000 people in Can- ada are diagnosed with multiple sclero- sis and for them to have to spend around $10,000 to receive this treatment out of country is wrong. The solution I would suggest is that while the studies and research are being done about the treatment’s safety and efficiency, it should offered in Canada for the people who are willing to pay for it to be done now. Having them wait years until the research is done would worsen their condition. Jeff Baggaley Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Whitby Sombre reflection to honour the fallen this Remembrance Day Two minutes of silence is all that it takes. Two minutes to reflect on the sacrifices made by Canadians in the name of free- dom. Two minutes to thank them solemn- ly for the freedoms we enjoy today. Two minutes to contemplate our collective good fortune because of the willingness of brave young men and women to spill their blood on foreign soil in pursuit of a higher goal. It’s not much to ask, but it bears deep meaning and calls us to bow our heads and offer a quiet prayer of thanks. Today is Remembrance Day. On the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we are asked to reflect. Durham Region is home to many veter- ans who remain active in their communi- ties and their local Legions. Most are well on in years, having served in the world wars or Korea, while a new generation prepares for the return home from the war in Afghanistan. Times change, societies evolve, priori- ties emerge. But the war veteran’s role, his or her place in our hearts, remains con- stant. Durham Region residents have demon- strated their respect and remembrance here at home 152 times since Canada sent its first troops to Afghanistan in 2002. They lined overpasses along the Highway of Heroes for every single soldier’s repatri- ation. Looking further back, they’ve done their part every step of the way when the nation called on them, sending their sons to fight in the world wars, or manufactur- ing ammunition and shells at Defence Industries Limited in Ajax during the Sec- ond World War. Whether at work or at school, at home or out and about today, please join in the sombre celebration. Buy a poppy and wear it proudly, say a quiet prayer for soldiers known and unknown, and give a thought to those who bravely served -- and contin- ue to serve -- in Canada’s armed forces. We owe our vets this basic nod of respect and gratitude. The Canada we live in -- and enjoy -- today exists in large part because of their collective effort. So many have fought and died -- in Europe, Asia, Afghanistan -- on our behalf. Two minutes of silence is all it takes. It’s the very least we can do to honour their memory. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 11, 20107 PEnvironmental Volunteer Expo Volunteer Expo Environmental Saturday, November 20, 2010 West Shore Community Centre 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Looking for an opportunity to volunteer, but not sure what is available?

The fisherman was thinking of his teen- age daughter, Cally, when he wrote her Pickering, Ont., address on a piece of paper, sealed it in a Ziploc bag and rolled it into a plastic bottle. Someone did get his message, but the words in the weathered note were barely decipherable by the time Sofi-Ona Hamer picked it up off the west coast of the Isle of Harris. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I’ve never in my life found a message in a bottle before. It was quite exciting.” The Scottish woman is just the latest per- son to pick up one of Mr. Rumbolt’s notes across the pond. In fact, he threw dozens of bottled notes over the edge of the ship- ping vessel he worked on between 2007 and 2008. In August, 14-year-old Cally was surprised to receive a postcard from a kayaker who had picked up one of the bottles in Treyar- non Bay, England. Enclosed inside the enve- lope was the original letter her father wrote on her behalf, the blue ink now pink. “My dad works on a supply vessel off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland ... He is sending this note in a bottle in the hopes that someone will return a letter to me,” it states. It was the first she had heard about her dad’s seafaring notes -- and she immediate- ly recognized his handwriting. “I called him and asked, ‘When did you do this? I had no clue.’ He told me, ‘I didn’t even know they were going to find you,’” said Cally, who lives with her grandmother in Pickering, but visits her dad in St. John’s several times a year. A week later, Cally received a second let- ter from Ireland, this time from a 16-year- old girl who found a bottled message while walking her dogs. “I was jumping around because it’s from Ireland,” she said. It may seem like an unlikely 3,500-kilo- metre journey for a bottle to make, but Capt. Gordon Williams, a nautical science instructor at Memorial University in New- foundland, said it’s possible. “I’ve heard of it happening. The right ocean currents and wind could take it across,” Wil- liams said. “It’s just a matter of how long it’s going to take -- and it could be an even lon- ger time before somebody picks it up.” Ms. Hamer almost dismissed the plas- tic bottle as garbage while walking along the rocky beach one rainy October day, but then she noticed the blue plastic bag inside and picked it up. “I opened up the message but it was faded quite a lot. I was a little bit disheartened,” she recalled. “I tried to rub charcoal over it to see if I could decipher the message, but the handwriting is quite eloquent. It’s very, very hard to read.” She eventually made out one short phrase: “Pickering, Ontario, Canada” and the street, “Poprad Ave.” scrawled on the top quarter of the white sheet of paper. The Toronto Star teamed up with Ms. Hamer to find out who sent the bottle in the first place. Now that she has Cally’s full address, Ms. Hamer plans to send a letter of her own -- just like Cally’s dad had hoped.

Louise Johnson worked in Ajax shell-filling plant REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- As Canadian troops battled overseas during the Second World War, it was women such as Ajax’s Lou- ise Johnson who kept them in the fight. Ms. Johnson was one of the thousands of women employed by Defence Industries Limited in a war- time munitions plant built in what is now Ajax. She worked on the line making anti-aircraft mis- siles. “Our objective was to win the war,” she said. “What would I do if I was over there and I didn’t have ammuni- tion?” Ms. Johnson was born in 1921 in rural Saskatchewan and moved to Saskatoon as teen. “I was working in Saska- toon from the time I was 16 until the war broke out in 1939,” she said. At the time, she was work- ing in a hospital on the housekeeping staff in a nurses’ residence and many of her friends were joining the service, but Ms. Johnson said that wasn’t for her. In 1942, she got a phone call asking if she’d be inter- ested in working in a factory in Ontario. “They were looking for sin- gle people, they were look- ing for women,” she said, adding she fit the bill. At the time, she didn’t know what type of factory it was, but would later find out it was a munitions plant built in 1941 in what was then Pickering. Ultimately, that plant became the foun- dation for the Town of Ajax. “It was like Camp X, nobody knew what went on there,” she said. But the self-contained community had everything people needed, including a hospital, beauty salon and recreation facilities. Ms. Johnson recalls there were five cars of girls on her train, with 100 in each car, all headed to Ontario to work in factories. In fact, women came from across Canada to work at the DIL plant. First, she lived in the dor- mitories built for the women and later rented a room from a family in a wartime bunga- low. Following the war, she and her husband bought that house and she still lives there, on Glynn Road. On the line, Ms. Johnson’s job was to fill shells with cordite, an explosive. “It reminded me of spa- ghetti in a way,” said Ms. Johnson of the string mate- rial. She recalled there were strict rules because of the volatile nature of the work and the lines were run effi- ciently and professionally with safety as a top priority. “One spark of electricity could cause a big problem,” she said, adding it could have caused an explosion. And that meant big fines or possibly a jail term if anyone was caught smoking inside the perimeter. It meant rub- ber shoes and no bobby pins. That’s why many of the women wore the bandanas that are now so identified with female factory workers of that era. Although the DIL employ- ees took their work serious- ly, Ms. Johnson said there was always banter flying back and forth on the line. “People shared their expe- riences about the problem with the place they were liv- ing or how hard it was to get here, some folks came from long distances,” she said. Among them were farm- ers who lived as far away as Uxbridge and Cannington. “We had a blizzard here in 1943, which anyone who lived here remembers very well,” she said. At the time, many couldn’t get into work, so those on the line kept working. She met the man who would become her husband while working at the DIL plant. He was one of the men who couldn’t serve in the military for medical reasons, so Russell Johnson worked in the munitions factory and was tasked with the heavy physical work of delivering cordite to the women on the line. “I don’t know about love at first sight. I looked at this guy and thought wow,” said Ms. Johnson. She said if she worked on an opposite shift, they would have never met. Plus, the women far outnumbered the men at the plant. “I did well to scoop one, didn’t I?” After the war ended, the women were laid off and were asked not to seek another factory job, as they were for the men coming home from war. “I actually was the last paid production worker because I typed the pink slips,” said Ms. Johnson. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 11, 20109 P at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Regent Theatre Concert Series durham Great music close to home!

In the last five years, member- ship in Ontario fell by almost 15 per cent. But many Legion branches in Durham Region say they’re holding their own, owing part- ly to the fact that local munic- ipalities tend to only have one or two branches each. “We’re the only game in town so it’s easier for us,” said Bruce South, membership chairman at Ajax Legion Branch 322. He said Legion branches in major urban centres such as Toronto often suffer more, because there are several serv- ing the same area. The Ajax branch has 1,288 members and the member- ship campaign for next year is already underway and going strong. This year’s drive includes incentives such as early bird discounts on membership fees and the chance to win draw prizes. Bowmanville Legion Branch 178 isn’t far behind, with about 900 members. Sergeant-at-arms John Green- field said there hasn’t been any significant decline in recent years. “It’s stayed about the same,” he noted, saying word of mouth and advertising help bring in members. Mike Childerhose has been a member of Oshawa Legion Branch 43 for 32 years and can remember when its 2,800 strong membership was the largest in Canada. Now they’re down to 988 members, but Mr. Childerhose said next year’s membership drive is looking good. “Our membership campaign is going very well since Sept. 1 and we are getting a number of new members. We encour- age our present members to get their family, friends and acquaintances interested in joining our organization,” he said. VETERANS Membership at Durham Legions holding steady Royal Navy leading seaman gunner was aboard HMS Ajax KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Terry Michael knew he wanted to join the Royal Navy when he was just a young boy living in Leeds, England. He joined the sea corps when he was 11, and when Adolf Hitler and the Nazis began taking over Europe when Mr. Michael was only 17, he signed right up. “That particular time in 1939, there was trou- ble in Europe,” he said. And he felt it was his duty to ensure the Nazi uprising didn’t make its way into England. “We knew we’d be next on the list (for the Nazis),” he said. Mr. Michael was a leading seaman gunner and spent four years on the seas, from 1942 to 1946. “Over a period of time, we did different opera- tions,” he said. One of them was his time on HMS Ajax. He has a number of both sad and fond memories of his time at war, but some good ones stand out during his time aboard the Leander-class frig- ate, after which the Town of Ajax is named. Mr. Michael is featured in the book Freedom 2, compiled by Elsie Hetherman, president of the Pickering Veterans Association. She featured the stories of Pickering vets, including Mr. Michael’s tale of helping to free a Greek Island under strict German control in 1944. While Mr. Michael was aboard HMS Ajax, the skipper of a carque, (a small British, well-armed, power-driven yacht) called Santa Claus, was determined to free the Greek Island of Santorin. The skipper, a regimental sergeant major of the Queen’s Hussar Regiment, first applied for and received permission to enter Santorin Harbour. The German commandant then went aboard to inspect the yacht, and was given many drinks of whiskey throughout the conversation. The Santa Claus skipper then insisted the Germans surren- der, and after a heated discussion, and finishing off the bottle of liquor, the commander agreed, but said the surrender must be made to a much larger vessel than the Santa Claus. In came HMS Ajax to complete the mission, consisting of Mr. Michael, one of 20 Royal Naval personnel, 20 Royal Marines and the ship’s Royal Marine captain. The Santa Claus crew spotted HMS Ajax and signaled the ship to come over. HMS Ajax crew landed and marched into the main square. The German commandant then handed over his personal revolver and surren- dered in front of his troops, as the Greek popula- tion lining the town square cheered, the church bells rang and the Greek national flag was raised. The German Africa corps and the Italian army personnel were disarmed, taken aboard HMS Ajax and then transported to a British prisoner- of-war camp. HMS Ajax crew members also distributed a large stock of food and flour to alleviate the seri- ous food shortage on the island and a bottle of olive oil was presented to HMS Ajax as a token of gratitude. “We had a good captain aboard and were quite a happy crew,” Mr. Michael said. There were times when he feared for his life, and prefers not to think of the bodies he saw floating in the water, the innocent lives lost and his own close personal calls. “I saw a lot of planes come down close to us,” he said. And there were times when he lost those close to him. One particular incident involved a close family friend who was shot and killed by the Germans. “Unfortunately, his wife he left behind had given birth to a baby, and he’d never seen the baby,” he said. Mr. Michael had no brothers or sisters, but he looked forward to the letters he received from his mother. “I was lucky if I got one every six weeks,” he said. When the war ended, the crew was sent to demobilize the ships in West Hartlepool, Eng- land. They eventually found their way to Hitler’s abandoned yacht and used it as a depot ship. While most of the crew took over the ship’s beds, Mr. Michael was ready for a nice, comfortable sleep. “I used his bed and slept in it for two months,” he laughed. When asked how it felt to sleep in the Nazi rul- er’s bed, his answer was quite simple. “It was a heck of a lot better than sleeping in the hammock,” he said. Although he doesn’t regret the time he spent protecting his country, he was happy when the war ended and learned he’d soon go home. “It was something we all looked forward to,” he said. After the war, Mr. Michael worked briefly on the transit system in LEEDS and eventually joined the Merchant Navy as a navy seaman. He met his wife, Betty, and they moved from England to Pickering eight years ago. Now he sees those around him getting older and passing, including one of his good friends from the war he kept in close contact with ever since their days in the Royal Navy. “Unfortunately six weeks ago he died,” he said. “We knew the family quite well.” Remembrance Day is full of bittersweet emo- tions for Mr. Michael.

However, your denturist is the most qualifi ed person to tell you when a denture needs replacing. An annual consultation to have you prosthesis checked and cleaned can prevent many problems, among them the bad habits that denture wearers develop and that require ad- justments, a new base, or even complete replacement. The following are signs that your prosthesis needs attention: it does not adhere to your gums as well as it used to, it is loose, does not cut food well, makes your face look older, has yellowed, or it causes discomfort or pain. There are also many other clinical problems with an old prosthesis that only your denturist would notice. Your Denturist and You When Should you Replace Your Dentures? Because he constructs your prosthesis himself, the denturist actually minimizes the impact of such changes. Thus, when replacement is indicated, he makes sure your new dentures conform to the changes that your face has undergone over time. All new dentures require an adjust- ment period, which is entirely normal. Your denturist can give you tips on how to shorten this adjustment period and make it easier. Remember that wearing dentures that are 10 or 15 years old inevitably causes change in you physiognomy that are often irreversible. The longer you delay replacing your dentures, the more your appearance and your comfort will be affected. These are changes that occur very gradually and without your really noticing. When was the last time you saw your denturist? Pickering Denture Clinic Andre Maragh, DD (Denturist) 1792 Liverpool Rd.

Perseverance best describes the effort of the Holy Trinity senior boys’ football team, which battled back from 14 points down in the third quarter to the St. Mary Monarchs, prevailing 29-28 on a rouge by punter Tyler Ganhao with just 3.9 seconds remaining in the game pro- viding the margin of victory. It ended a frantic final three minutes of play, as Holy Trinity battled back with a couple of late possessions to secure the win. Down 28-21, Holy Trinity converted on a couple of third downs, and then punched it in on third and goal from the two, as Nathaniel Allen scored the touchdown, but the point after was blocked by St. Mary, leaving them up 28-27 with 3:01 to go. Holy Trinity got the ball back after a change of possession, marching down to the St. Mary 23-yard line, where Ganhao punted a ball into the end zone that couldn’t be run out, result- ing in a single point to tie the game with 1:09 to go. After St. Mary again failed to move the ball, Holy Trinity regained possession at midfield with 36 seconds left. They moved down to the St. Mary 30-yard line, where Ganhao booted the ball clear out of the end zone for another single with 3.9 seconds left. “You won’t see that very often,” said Holy Trinity head coach Fred Zinkie of the finish. “We always tell the guys the game can change on any play.” Earl Anderson had a pair of touchdowns for Holy Trinity, while Ryan Dus had the other. St. Mary got three majors from Dillon Campbell, and another from quarterback Keith Cyrus. St. Mary head coach Enzo Antonucci said special teams play was the difference in the second half comeback by Holy Trinity, and added he felt some of the calls didn’t go his team’s way. “We knew (Holy Trinity) could come back. Things didn’t click, things happened and big mistakes were made and we lost.” Zinkie felt his defence stepped up in the sec- ond half, turning the momentum of the game around. “(St. Mary) came out with a great offensive game plan and really got on us. I felt like after half time we started defending the run better and that gave our offence more of a fighting chance.” Holy Trinity faces Donald A. Wilson in Sat- urday’s LOSSA final at Clarington Fields. Kick- off is 2:30 p.m. Wilson 15 Pickering 0 SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Two big plays on offence in the first half and a stalwart defensive effort helped lift the Wilson Gators into yet another LOSSA football final. The Gators received two touchdowns from Greg Morris, one in the air and one on the ground, in Tuesday’s semifinal and rode that wave of momentum to a 15-0 vic- tory on home field against the Pickering Trojans. Morris’s first major came off a 65-yard reception on a pass over the middle from quarterback George Papadakos, while the other came later in the half when he took the hand off inside his own 20 and scam- pered down the sidelines for the score. While the two touchdowns were high- light reel type plays, Morris said afterward he was most impressed with a late fourth quarter interception he registered that vir- tually eliminated any chance of a Trojans comeback. “The big I-N-T at the end,” he said, when asked what his highlight was. “I believe the game isn’t really over until the end and we really needed that.” The pick came with about 2:30 to go as Pickering quarterback Mike Stobbart lobbed the ball down field into double cov- erage, only to have it fall into Morris’s wel- coming hands. While Wilson’s defence came through in the clutch, the Trojans did their best to keep themselves in the game Tuesday, intercepting three Wilson passes, includ- ing one by Devon Lessy-Searles in the end zone. Taylor Eskins had the other two inter- ceptions for Pickering. “Our defence is the heart and soul of our Pickering High School football program,” said head coach Cam Lee afterwards. “The offence struggled, but that’s been the story all year unfortunately. “I’m proud of the guys. They played hard and gave it their all. This was a hard fought game. They worked right to the end. They didn’t give up. We just unfortunately couldn’t score.” Looking ahead, Pickering loses some 15 players off this year’s roster, while Wilson has a LOSSA championship game, Satur- day at Clarington Fields against Holy Trin- ity, to focus on. The key for the Gators, looking for their fourth straight LOSSA title, will be their ability to hang onto the ball. “This time of year you can’t turn the foot- ball over. And all the little things count if you want to have success,” said Wilson coach Adam Papadakos.

The girls’ field hockey team came up just short of advancing to the quarterfi- nals at the OFSAA champi- onships held in Ingersoll. A win of 3-0 over Senator O’Connor Collegiate cou- pled with losses of 3-0 to St. John’s Kilmarnock and 1-0 to Malvern, left Ajax in third place in the pool of four, with just the top two advancing to the playoff round. In the win, Lindsay Smith scored twice, with Jenna Remedios adding the other, while Michelle Maluish chipped in with assists. “Overall, it was an excit- ing experience with a con- siderable leaving curve,” wrote head coach Elyse Michaud in an e-mail. “The Ajax team is now more motivated than ever to even keep on growing in the sport. The OFSAA experience has brought on a lot of school spirit and has shown a brighter light on the sport of field hockey in the school.” The school won the right to be this area’s representa- tive at the provincial cham- pionship after winning the LOSSA title over Pickering 1-0 in an overtime decision in the championship game. The golden goal came eight minutes into the sudden- death overtime period. Ajax finished the LOSSA season with a 3-1-1 regu- lar season record, advanc- ing to the LOSSA final with a 1-0 victory over All Saints in the quarterfinals and a 2-1 win over Eastdale in the semis. By virtue of their LOSSA championship win over Pickering, Ajax was seed- ed eighth heading into the 16-team OFSAA tourna- ment. Graduating members of the team include Lindsay Smith, Rhea Alonzi, Steph Kendrick and Erin Longo. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Fight to the finish UXBRIDGE -- Andrew Karaoulis, left, from Applecroft Public School in Ajax, and Michael Ramsuer, from Sir Samuel Steele school in Whitby, stretched it out to the finish line at the DEAA cross-country meet at Lakeridge Ski Resort. HOCKEY Strong local connection to Potsdam POTSDAM, NY -- A num- ber of local players, and others with connections to junior hockey teams in the Durham Region, will be looking to guide the SUNY Potsdam men’s hockey team to a successful sea- son. In opening weekend action, Potsdam split, beat- ing Brockport 5-2 and los- ing to Geneseo 4-1 in Divi- sion III play. Against Brockport, senior forward Colin MacLen- nan, of Whitby, who played junior with the Ajax Attack, led the charge with a hat trick and an assist. Fresh- man forward Brandon Couto, of Bowmanville, who played with the Bowmanville Eagles and Cobourg Cougars, recorded the game winner with his first collegiate goal and also recorded an assist. A couple of other Bowmanville Eagles alumni include freshman forward Adam Place and junior defenceman Hunter Syry- diuk, both of Toronto. Rounding out the group are sophomore Brett Waters, of Uxbridge, who played for the Markham Waxers, Matt Miller, of Pickering, who played in Cobourg, and freshman Mike Purcell, of Pickering, who played for the Whitby Fury. All three compose a solid blue-line corps. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 11, 201023 AP HOCKEY Generals salvage split on northern road trip BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Kevin Bailie may have just earned himself some more playing time. Making only his third start of the season for the Oshawa Generals Saturday in Sudbury, Bailie came 3:39 away from his first Ontar- io Hockey League shutout, and helped the team salvage a week- end split up north with a 2-1 win over the Wolves. Bailie, who had come on in relief of Michael Zador in Friday’s 7-3 loss to Sault Ste. Marie, stopped 24 of 25 shots Saturday, losing the shutout when Samuel Schutt scored for the home side late in the third period. But goals from Calvin de Haan, on a first-period power play, and Jeff Brown 12:07 into the third, were enough to give the Generals the two points. Zador, who has been given the bulk of the action so far, was yanked 14:22 into Friday’s game after allowing three goals on the first nine shots against the Grey- hounds. Sault Ste. Marie went on to build a 4-0 lead in the opening frame before the Generals mounted a comeback and narrowed the gap to one early in the third. The Greyhounds scored the final three goals, however, and dealt the Generals their widest margin of defeat this season. Lucas Lessio led the Generals with a goal and an assist, while Brown and Alain Berger also scored for Oshawa. Bailie allowed the final four on 19 shots, as the Generals outshot the Greyhounds 41-28. Chris DePiero, the Generals’ head coach and general manager, said he was impressed enough with his team’s effort in both games, but knew they faced a tough task facing a Greyhounds team that had been struggling and called out in the local media. “Friday was a strange game for us. I think we were going into a hornet’s nest with them having lost five in a row,” he said. “That team has a lot of pride.” Still, he was pleased with the way his team fought back and dominat- ed the latter part of the game, and even more pleased with how they responded the next day in Sud- bury, outshooting the Wolves 10-2 in the first period. “It showed that we have a lot of ride in our room too,” he said. On Wednesday the Generals were in Belleville (after our dead- line), the final of three straight road games. The Generals (9-5-1-2) are back home to face the Bulls (5-12- 0-1) Friday at 7:35 p.m, the first of four in a row at the GM Centre. On the injury front, J.P. Labar- do (upper body) and Cody Payne (lower) were hurt in Friday’s game, joining Mark Petaccio (concussion) on the shelf. 2 1Maid-Mart Inc.Sunshade Blinds & Drapes Look for this feature every other Thursday.
