She might be excited but it’s the grand finale she’s most looking forward to -- a glimpse of the big man in the red suit. “This is my first time coming and I really want to see Santa,” she said, adding she’s crossing her fingers for a Barbie doll in her presents this year. While the bright sun on Saturday morning may have done little to get people into the holiday spirit, there was still plenty of Christmas cheer on display at the annual Santa Claus Parade in Pickering on Nov. 13. Donning light jackets and sunglasses, hordes of families made it out to witness Santa’s first stop in Durham this year. Jamie’s father Steve was among many of the parents who were relieved to be able to enjoy this year’s event with warmer weather than last year. “It gives us something to do and makes us feel like more a part of the community,” said Mr. Henderson, carrying Jamie’s one-year-old brother Reese.

Santa made his grand entrance at about 11:30 a.m., greeting hundreds of over- joyed children. Sue Bradbury and her fami- ly set up lawn chairs in the front row at the parade to ensure they didn’t miss a moment of the action. “We’ve been com- ing for 23 years -- first every year with the children and now the grand- children,” said Ms. Bradbury, a long- time Pickering resi- dent, bouncing her 18-month-old grandson Quentin on her lap. “It’s tradition and there’s a real com- munity feel when we come. Everybody’s here, it’s very low-key, friendly and lots of fun.” The event also attracted people from other areas of the region, such as Jackie Wilbur from Whitby, who was glad she could bring her kids to the Pickering parade as she won’t be able to make it to the one near her home. “This is great; we get to enjoy the beautiful weather togeth- er and also get a chance to meet some of our neigh- bours,” she said. The parade’s many marching groups included members of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and the Rameses Shriners Drum Corps. “We’re glad to be a part of any- thing to do with kids -- that’s our forte,” said Shri- ners member Russell Bradley, who made the trip from Toronto for the event. “Santa Claus parades are all about the children.” SANTA from page 1 SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- (TOP) Santa Claus waved to the crowd from his sleigh.

Oxycontin, grass, hash, cocaine, steroids grabbed DURHAM -- More than $125,000 in drugs were seized in a pair of separate investiga- tions by Durham Regional Police. Members of the drug enforcement unit started an investigation on Nov. 12 into the trafficking of Oxycontin in Oshawa. Officers stopped two men in a vehicle coming off Hwy. 401 and arrested them in possession of 500 Oxycontin tablets. Further investigation led to a hotel in Kings- ton, where Durham officers, with assistance from the OPP and Kingston Police, arrested a male leaving the hotel. Officers seized an additional 54 Oxycontin tablets and $19,800 in cash. The value of the drugs is estimated at more than $22,000. Search warrants at two Oshawa address- es yielded an additional $2,500 in American money and an ounce of marijuana. Frederick Koch, 62, of Oshawa, has been charged with two counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking. Ralph Bartodziej, 55, also of Oshawa, is charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking. Scott Bevin, 39 of Kingston, is charged with trafficking in a controlled substance. All three were held for bail hearings. In a separate investigation, a cocaine traf- ficking investigation by members of the DRPS gang enforcement unit ended on Nov. 12 when officers stopped a vehicle in Ajax and arrested the owner. Police said he had 797 grams of cocaine and a quantity of steroids. A search warrant was executed on a Cour- tice home and police found small amounts of marijuana and hash. Russell Shawn Reesor, 35, of Courtice, has been charged with possession for the purpos- es of trafficking and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. He was held for a bail hearing. Investigators also arrested a second male leaving a gym in Toronto with 67 grams of marijuana and five grams of hash. Marlon Prema, 35, of Toronto, is charged with pos- session for the purposes of trafficking and possession of a controlled substance. He was released on an undertaking with conditions. An additional suspect was arrested leaving the fitness facility and found to be in posses- sion of 6.1 grams of marijuana. Search war- rants were executed at the man’s Toronto residence and at the gym which he owned in Toronto. Police seized $6,000 in cash and $4,000 in silver bars from the house. From Natural Bodies, a gym on Eglinton Avenue West, police seized 2,022 grams of marijuana, a cocaine press, 416 grams of hash and a large assortment of steroids. Pasquale Mancuso, 36, of Toronto, has been charged with two counts each of trafficking in a controlled substance, possession for the purposes of trafficking and possession of a controlled substance. The accused was held for a bail hearing. The total street value of the drugs in the sec- ond investigation is $109,500.

PICKERING -- A 27-year-old Uxbridge man died Friday after driving his truck off the road and striking a tree, police said. The black Dodge Ram pickup left the roadway at Westney Road and Concession 8 in Pickering at approximately 9:45 a.m., Durham Regional Police said.

A Richmond Hill man faces 260 charges. Police said the weapons --13 long guns and 26 handguns -- were stolen in two break-ins in Durham Region Oct. 26 and 27. One of the break-ins occurred at a storage facility on North Port Road in Port Perry. Durham police said at least 40 guns, some of which were not properly stored, were stolen when 28 storage units were broken into. Toronto police, working in conjunction with Durham cops and other agencies, arrested a suspect last Thurs- day. They recovered 13 long guns and 24 handguns, along with more than 5,500 rounds of ammunition and illegal extra-capacity magazines, from a storage facility in Etobicoke. Two more handguns and more ammuni- tion were seized during a subsequent search of a sus- pect’s home in Richmond Hill. Staff Inspector Earl said six handguns stolen during the Durham break-ins are still missing. “Someone on the street has these guns,” he said. Eric Reid, 35, of Richmond Hill, faces 260 firearm- related charges.

In July, Ms. Seens, a friend and yoga teach- er, held a special five-week Yoga of Compas- sion session in Ajax, and all proceeds were set aside to help Ms. McNally fly to Califor- nia for special treatment. Later that month, she became gravely ill and was hospitalized, and could not fly to California after all. The money raised did help the young mom, however, when she was able to spend Halloween weekend at home for one last time. The money provided her with round- the-clock care so she could spend the time with her two young children and her hus- band. The balance will help with burial costs. Ms. Seens thanked the Ajax residents who attended the yoga classes and those who donated at Odyssey Books and Resource Centre in Pickering Village to support Ms. McNally. She also thought they should know Ms. McNally is “free of her earthly body, free from suffering any longer.” The visitation will take place on Thursday, Nov. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. at Memorial Chapel Funeral Home, 5295 Thickson Rd. N. in Brooklin. The funeral will take place at the same location on Friday, Nov. 19 at 11 a.m. All friends and yoga students are invited to celebrate her life. COMMUNITY Brooklin mom loses brain cancer battle New board will have its first meeting Dec. 6 MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The public school board said goodbye to five trustees on Monday night. “This is a large turnover,” Larry Jacula, chair- man of the Durham District School Board, said. “Five have decided to move on.” Each departing trustee was given a bird- house made to look like a miniature school- house, the traditional gift for outgoing trust- ees, Trustee Jacula said. Scugog trustee Joyce Kelly represented the board in the 1990s and was then appointed to her current position in 2007, following for- mer trustee Steve Martin’s resignation due to health problems. “She speaks strongly for her community,” said Michael Barrett, vice chair- man of the board. Ajax lost both of its former trustees, with Marilyn Crawford winning a seat on town council and Lisa Hill stepping down because of increased duties with her position at a chi- ropractic clinic. “It brought me closer to my community, which is why I took this leap,” Trustee Hill said of her time on the Board. In addition to her birdhouse, Trustee Craw- ford, who spent 10 years as a trustee, was pre- sented with a gavel as former chairwoman of the board. “The board’s loss is certainly the munici- pality of Ajax’s gain,” Trustee Barrett said of Trustee Crawford’s departure. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau and Whitby Trustee John Dolstra’s time with the Board is over after both ran unsuccessfully for positions in municipal politics. “I know you’ve served your community well,” said Trustee Jacula of Trustee Croteau’s time on the board. Trustee Dolstra has always made sure his community was well-represented, said Trust- ee Barrett. “We’ve always focused on kids and that’s why I came here, for the kids,” Trustee Dolstra said. The five new school board trustees will join the six returning members on Dec. 6. EDUCATION Five Durham trustees say goodbye at meeting & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 17, 20106 AP DEMOCRACY Action plan needed to boost voter engagement To the editor: Once again all members of Ajax Town Council have been elected by less than 20 per cent of all eligible voters. There is a major communication dis- connect between and among members of council, community organizations and the voters. In addition to providing easier ballot access by allowing voting by mail and Internet, it is essential that a success- ful plan of action be developed and imple- mented by council in the first term that makes citizens feel they have a stake in local government and a reason to vote. An action kit needs to be made available to organizations and to neighbourhoods to help them organize themselves. The orga- nization of people at the grassroots level is essential and so is the need for networking by members of council, community groups and organizations to actively promote par- ticipation in matters before council. ‘Vote - It Matters’ will become a reality and ‘We Did It, Ajax ... Together’ will have meaning. Michael Baker Ajax OVERRUNS Someone must be held accountable for escalating project costs To the editor: In the Nov. 4, 2010 News Advertiser’s Edi- torial and Opinions page, you carried a cartoon that I thought was appropriate for some cost overruns that are currently tak- ing place in the Town of Ajax. The cartoon shows a couple of guys dis- cussing the cost of fixing the Parliament buildings in Ottawa and the fact that it will take double the estimated time to com- plete the renovations and triple the cost. The message of this cartoon could very easily be changed from “Parliament build- ings” to the “St. Francis de Sales church” project that is expected to have an addi- tional $1.7-million cost over the Town’s estimated budget projection and the “out- door pool” renovation that is projected to have an estimated $1.5-million cost over the Town’s budget projection -- an outdoor pool that can be used for only six to eight weeks in a good summer. Combined, these two projects alone will be over budget by $3.2 million. These are just two examples; I am sure there are oth- ers. I am really surprised that this did not get more press and voter debate during the recent municipal elections. It is going to come up in the conversations of the Ajax taxpayer when the next budget is being tabled. Someone has to make up this defi- cit and we all know who that someone is: the taxpayer. The biggest question to be asked is, “How could the Town’s structural planners be over budget estimates by $3.2 million?” This is incompetence at its worst. Some- one should be held accountable. If this took place in the private sector, whoever was responsible would be fired. Leave it for the taxpayer to make it up. Philip Exley Ajax COMMUNITY LGBT feature inspired resident to share insight To the editor: I have been motivated to write several times before but the recent full page article on LGBT seniors in Durham Region was the inspiration I needed. I really appreciate how the paper cov- ers LGBT issues. I suspect that despite the progress the LGBT population has made in Canada, backlash is still a risk. About five years ago, my partner and I moved to Dur- ham from downtown Toronto to raise a family. We chose Durham Region for many reasons but a significant factor was its large and organized LGBT population. We’ve made friends with other LGBT families with young children and on behalf of us all, thank you for giving the commu- nity a voice and making Durham Region a safer place for our children. Kerrie Kortis Brooklin Raising awareness and hope in fight against diabetes Community and health advocacy groups in Durham have been active this month in a bid to raise awareness -- and research dollars -- to help fight the scourge of dia- betes. A recent fundraising run was held in Durham to benefit the cause, while a Monte Carlo night is being hosted Nov. 27 by the Brooklin Lions Club, with proceeds being forwarded to the Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre in Whitby. Diabetes continues to be diagnosed in growing numbers in Canada and around the world, prompting the local effort to raise awareness and funds. November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and according to the Canadian Diabetes Association, diabetes affects more than three million Canadians, with more than 80,000 Ontarians diagnosed with the ill- ness annually. Approximately 90 per cent of these cases are Type 2 diabetes, which usually devel- ops in adults. According to Public Health Agency Canada, researchers project an increase in diagnoses to 2.4 million by 2016. Those are frightening numbers; we ignore them at our collective peril. But diabetes is by no means a Canadian problem. The dramatic increase in diabetes cases is becoming a world-wide crisis. The CDA estimates half of the children who will be born in the near future will develop diabe- tes in their lifetimes which means, for the first time in Canadian history, children could face a shorter lifespan than their parents, and many parents could outlive their children if the number of new cases continues to climb at its present rate. It’s said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and this adage certainly holds true in the case of proac- tive management of diabetes. It is a seri- ous, potentially fatal, condition if left unchecked. Aside from death, the personal costs of diabetes may also include a reduced qual- ity of life and the likelihood of chronic medical complications such as heart dis- ease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, amputation and erectile dysfunction. Do what you can this month to raise awareness. Attend fundraisers, make lifestyle and diet changes to reduce the risk to your health, or make a donation to the Canadi- an Diabetes Association through its ongo- ing clothing and household items collec- tion system. It doesn’t take much, but it could make a world of difference in the quality of life of someone you know, whether friend, rela- tive, neighbour or co-worker. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 17, 2010Tell us about your first car...

John Henry thinks so. I sat down with Oshawa’s mayor-elect this week for a lengthy conversation about his hopes for the city as he takes the reigns of what can be a spirited local government. When it comes to running a successful business, leaders often credit the people they work with for making the difference. With this in mind, I was particularly inter- ested in hearing his team-building plans. Mayor-elect Henry spelled out a philoso- phy rooted in transparency, mutual respect and trust. Councillor Henry has long been a proponent of open meetings and full dis- closure of expenses, so we can expect much more of that in the months to come. But as the new mayor, can Coun. Henry convince his council peers to do the heavy lifting on debate at the committee level in order to pave the way for shorter, more civil council meetings? Can he persuade the councillors to form a united voice for Oshawa when voting at Durham regional council? And can he convince them to take ownership of their conduct by putting some teeth into the City’s council code of con- duct? These are noble goals and I wish him suc- cess. His plan for sharing the load is long overdue -- and it’s a business approach -- the same one we use here in the newsroom. Coun. Henry intends to ask his council- lors to work a weekend rotation that would see each councillor responsible for press- ing matters and public appearances one weekend of every 11. This answers two big questions: first, how to share the load so no one councillor is spending all his week- ends working and, second, how to ensure all councillors get face time with the pub- lic -- including the inevitable grip-and-grin photo ops. It’s a good idea, one that will instantly identify those councillors who understand this is no ordinary job, and those for whom it’s a paycheque. If council- lor was a job posting, it would read ‘week- ends and evenings required’. Editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt can be reached at jburghardt@durhamregion.com.

Depending on how strong your tolerance is for reminiscence, you’ll emerge from the experience either dreamily content or ready to stretch a rope. There’s something about overcast skies, falling leaves and woodsmoke that acts upon the human psyche like emotional amber ... trapping and preserving the past in crystalline clarity. Warts and all. I was driving back from the city recently and decided to drop in and visit my folks. I had taken the dogs with me and, as they’d been patiently cooped up in the back of the van for a few hours, thought I’d stop off and take us all for a nostalgic walk through Bri- dlewood ... the idyllic backdrop to my mis- spent youth. Dogs are perfect companions for a stroll down memory lane. Not only are they good listeners, but they’re physically incapable of rolling their eyes. Even so, I’m always careful to pepper my tales with canine anecdotes. Just to make sure they’re still with me ... “That’s where Johnny Womers- ley lived ... he had a big Malamute. “That’s Scamp’s yard. He was a big, black Lab who had the unfortunate luck to have his kennel face onto the main walkway to the public school. I think a hundred kids a day kicked that fence just to make him go nuts. Not me of course.” They seem to enjoy them. On this particular autumn day, it doesn’t take long for the magic of memory to kick in. We’ve not walked a block before the empty suburban sidewalks, lawns and streets are suddenly noisy with the ghosts of my childhood. Everything, it seems, is a trigger for some long forgotten event, face or voice. The trouble with ‘going back’ though, is that you can’t filter. You get the whole package; the good, the bad and the embar- rassing. I want to linger on the spot where a girlfriend kept me saying good night for so long that I was late for dinner, but the moment is shattered by the lung-hitching wails of a younger me getting a snowball in the eye only feet from the same spot. I’ve hardly time to comfort that noisy kid when another me comes careening around the corner on his bike, finishing in a wipe-out so spectacular I’m amazed I could get up, let alone limp home. Behind me, on the baseball diamond, I hear a game starting up. I know without looking it is that game where I dropped an easy catch after loud- ly boasting about how good my new glove was. I begin to sense this jaunt was a bad idea. Even the dogs have stopped wagging their tails. As though they too were tapping into an uncomfortable world of adolescent angst. A world perhaps best left alone for the time being. I open the back hatch of the van and am loading the dogs in, the skin of my knees still smarting from that earlier two-wheeled apparition, when another me goes trotting by. He’s about seven and he’s on his way home for lunch. In spite of all that’s been and all that lies ahead of him, this kid’s happy. He’s not worrying about the past or fretting over the future. He’s got a sand- wich, milk, cookies and a kiss on the cheek waiting for him. He’s all about the present. I decide I like this kid. In fact, as I start up the car and pull away from the old neigh- borhood, I decide I want to be him when I grow up.

A recent group photo feature on seasonal workers took roughly four months to complete and others are in the works. These projects give photog- raphers a break from everyday assign- ments and allow them to use their cre- ativity and passion to tell a single story. The end goal is to take the reader or viewer on a visual journey. Our group of talented photojournalists have com- pleted photo stories on the art of the silhouette, skateboarders across the Region and a special farm for children with disabilities.

Even if the kids deserve glowing grades because of their school performance, they won’t be getting them on the new progress report cards. The new autumn transcripts of elementary-level achievement do not feature a letter or percentage grading sys- tem. Instead, parents of students in kinder- garten to Grade 8 will get an elementary progress report card this month. The new report card lists school subjects and iden- tifies whether students are “progressing with difficulty”, “progressing well” or “pro- gressing very well” towards the next grade level. Report cards with specific grades will be handed out in February. Proponents of the new report card say this change allows for more focus on how the student is doing, rather than what con- tent they are working with. “As a teacher and a parent, I appreciate that accurate reflection of how they are performing as a student,” said Cheryl Fleu- ry-Eekma, a Grade 5/6 teacher at Queen Elizabeth Public School in Oshawa. The progress reports will be sent home the week of Nov. 15 to 19 to children in the public board and before Nov. 24 in the Catholic board. Parents will also notice the learning skills portion of the report card, once relegated to the second page, is now front and cen- tre, taking up half of the first page of the report. “Learning skills are even more important than content,” said Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board superintendent Tracy Barill. Ms. Barill said it’s a good change to have learning skills and work habits such as responsibility, organization, collaboration and initiative at the front of the report. Students will get a rating of excellent, good, satisfactory or needs improvement on each of the learning skills. The president of the Durham Local of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontar- io said the new progress report will speak more directly to parents. “We feel this is a step in the right direc- tion,” said Gerard O’Neill. Before the report cards were “talking in the language of teacher-eze,” Mr. O’Neill said. The new reports don’t focus as much on the curriculum but the students who are learning it. They give a better picture of the overall student, he said. Ms. Fleury-Eekma agrees. The focus is now on the student instead of the content they are learning, she said. “I think it’s a great shift,” she said. Ms. Fleury-Eekma said she is sure there will be some parents out there who are anxious about not seeing actual grades on their child’s report. But this report is a strong basis for discussion about the stu- dent at teacher interviews, she said. “(The new report) allows for an honest and open dialogue,” she said. The progress report and parent-teacher interviews that will follow are a point where teachers and parents can touch base, said Durham District School Board superinten- dent Luigia Ayotte. It will give parents and teachers a chance to see how the child is doing and to talk about plans for those who are progressing with difficulty. “It’s intended to facilitate early commu- nication with parents and guardians,” Ms. Ayotte said.

DURHAM -- The season of giving has begun with the launch of the annual Dur- ham Regional Police food and toy drive. This year’s drive, the 22nd, got under way with a ceremony Friday at Whitby Shores Public School, attended by police brass, community representatives and Santa Claus himself. Whitby Shores students filled a sleigh with food and toys, and the Foresters Branch Motor City donated 17 Build-A-Bears and a cheque for $500. The drive grows, year after year; last year, food and toys were distributed to hundreds of needy families with the assistance of 80 community organizations. Anyone can contribute. All you have to do is drop off unwrapped toys or food to any police station in Durham Region, at fire halls in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Claring- ton, and at participating stores up to Dec. 21. In addition, a sleigh will be in place in the lobby of Durham Region headquarters on Rossland Road in Whitby.

Eugene Dupuis Alumnus of Distinction KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- In an move to be more inclusive, Durham Region hopes to develop a diversity training plan for staff. The Region has applied for a fed- eral grant to help develop the plan, which would take three years to implement. Pauline Reid, policy and research advisor to the chief administrative officer, says the Region has been working on a local diversity and immigration partnership coun- cil, which had an “external focus. It made us think what we needed to do internally. When we heard about the opportunity to apply for funding, we thought it was a real- ly good opportunity to do so,” Ms. Reid notes. The Region applied for $416,100 and it won’t be until February before it knows if the application is approved. The grant application was made to Citizenship and Immi- gration Canada. A diversity policy adviser would be hired on a three-year contract to help develop the plan. The first year would be used to find out what needs to be done, followed in the second year with the plan devel- oped based on what is learned in year one. Training Regional staff would be done in the third year. If the Region’s application is approved, the diversity advisor would be hired by next April.

Pickering 905-831-2641 REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Friends since high school, a group of Ajax men have challenged each other to grow full moustaches in support of the Movember fundraiser for prostate cancer. Andrew Majoran, Gary Millson, Dan- iel Schultheis, Trevor Johnston, and Den- nis O’Connor are among a group of about 10 friends looking to grow the perfect ‘stache. The goal is to start clean shaven at the begin- ning of November and spend the month growing a healthy moustache while raising both awareness and funds. “A few of us had done it last year and I don’t think we realized there was a fundraising organization behind it,” said Mr. Majoran. In fact, Movember is an international event, started in Australia in 2003, which has now spread to almost a dozen countries, including Canada. The Ajax team is now registered at movem- ber.com as the Movember Militia and peo- ple can donate to the team or to individual members. Many of them have used folks with famous moustaches in their profile pictures. They include actors David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck and hockey player George Parros. “To start off, we didn’t have the moustach- es, so instead of uploading pictures of our- selves, we upload pictures of people with great moustaches,” said Mr. Majoran. Several of the team members have girl- friends, and they’re not all thrilled with the moustaches, but they support the fundraiser. “She said it’s disgusting, but she’d let it slide for one month,” said Mr. O’Connor of his girl- friend. In fact, the group is hoping people will ask them about their moustaches so they can let them know about the cause they’re support- ing. Mr. Majoran said there are several rea- sons to support awareness of prostate cancer and pointed out there are large fundraisers associated with women’s cancers. “It some- times outshines men’s cancers and I think the embarrassment factor (for prostate cancer) also takes away from the support it gets,” he said. After participating in Movember, the group members say they plan to get screened for prostate cancer when the time comes. In addition to the Ajax group, local MP Mark Holland is also growing a moustache for Movember. He’s joining a group of MPs participating in the fundraiser. “I’ve started it,” said Mr. Holland. “I’m find- ing out just how bad I look with a moustache, it’s not a pretty sight.” He too can be sponsored at movember. com. ballycliffe lodge RETIREMENT RESIDENCE 70 Station Street, Ajax Call 905-683-7321 www.chartwellreit.ca Chartwell Seniors Housing is proud to launch a new book commemorating Canada’s WWII veterans and those who supported the war effort.

The suspected natural gas explosion ripped through the lobby of the Grand Riviera Princess Hotel in Playa del Car- men, killing seven people. The Liberal party’s consular affairs critic has been keeping a close eye on how Canada tends to the situation, is working to make sure the repatriation of the bodies is taken care of, and that Canadians staying in Mexico who want to return home to Canada can do so. “Canadians do business in the U.S. but the largest destination for Canadi- ans certainly in the past couple of years has been Mexico,” Mr. McTeague said in an interview Monday morning. He added more than 700,000 Canadi- ans travel to Mexico each year. If anyone is worried about family members staying in the area, they can call the Foreign Affairs operations cen- tre at 1-800-387-3124 or 1-800-267- 6788. While Mr. McTeague said most trav- el companies have been cooperative and made alternative arrangements for those staying at the resort, Canadi- ans can call collect to 613-996-8885 if they’re having difficulties.

Bonnie Atkinson remembers trying to pro- cess what was happening when her daughter began showing symptoms of bipolar disor- der during her second year at university. “It was a very hard time, it was overwhelm- ing,” the local woman says. Durham mental health agencies are hoping the rocky road from diag- nosis to recovery will be made smoother with the release of a new guide- book that helps mental health patients and their caregivers navigate local services. “If there was a book like this when we were going through it, things would have been easier,” Ms. Atkinson says. “Mental illness is a reality for many people in Durham; I think this will really help.” For example, she says the section on legal issues would have helped her family under- stand why they were sometimes excluded from decisions on her daughter’s care, while information on hospital care would have bet- ter prepared them for what happens when someone arrives at the ER in the midst of a mental health crisis. Ms. Atkinson was part of a team that helped compile information for Pathway to Recov- ery, which was unveiled at a special event on Nov. 10. Staff from the Durham branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association and Durham Mental Health Services also con- tributed, as well as local service providers. A $5,500 grant from the Trillium Founda- tion helped cover the cost of printing the book, which will now be distributed to social service agencies, hospitals, doctors’ offices and other public places. The 230-page guide is packed with details about local services that support those with mental illness and their caregivers, listing everything from the eating disorders pro- gram at Lakeridge Health, to the local branch of the Mood Disorder Association of Ontario. It also offers comprehensive overviews of various mental illnesses -- including symptoms, warning signs and tips on how to be support- ive -- and information on issues such as power of attorney, the Men- tal Health Act, suicide, medications, types of therapy and workplace accommodation. Interspersed throughout the pages is artwork created by people involved in Dur- ham’s mental health community. “You often don’t know what’s available to you until you need it, and by then things are usually very overwhelming,” says Krista Bull, who coordinates case management and fam- ily services at Durham Mental Health Servic- es. “Most of the agencies in Durham are non- profit so it’s hard for them to promote their services. This book has everything in one place.” For more information or to order the book: EMAIL guidebook@dmhs.ca or guidebook@cmhadurham.org at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Regent Theatre Concert Series durham Great music close to home!

On the men’s team, Jelani De Jonge and Benn Vander Eyken were chosen as provincial all-stars while Jenn Sheehan and Morgan Kelly received the honour from the women’s team. De Jonge, an Ajax resident, and Vander Eyken led the Lords men’s soc- cer team back to the post-season in 2010, their first appearance in three years. Durham’s defence was one of the league’s best, allowing only 12 goals in eight games. This was Vander Eyken’s second straight year being named an OCAA all-star. Sheehan, of Whitby, completed her second year with the Lords, finish- ing the season with six goals in eight games. At the other end of the field, Mor- gan Kelly, of Oshawa, had another standout year for Durham, allowing only five goals in eight games. BASKETBALL Notre Dame, Pickering reach LOSSA finals DURHAM -- The final everyone was anticipating will become a reality tonight. As expected, it will be the Notre Dame Cougars and the Pickering Tro- jans competing for gold in the LOSSA senior girls’ basketball championship game. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at the Campus Wellness and Recreation Cen- tre in Oshawa. The teams have been ranked No. 1 and 2 in the GTA polls all season, with Notre Dame occupying the top spot and Pickering just behind. In a previous meeting on Sept. 27 in league play, Notre Dame prevailed 50-40. Both teams have had a relatively easy time getting to the finals. After going undefeated, Notre Dame won their quarterfinal game 58-24 over Sin- clair, with Dakota Whyte’s 18 points leading the way. In the semifinals, Lind- say Panchan had 17 points to lead the way in a 70-26 drubbing of Uxbridge. Pickering used 15 points from Tekima Millington-Rowe to beat Wilson 69-19 in the quarterfinal, and 17 from Cienna Walker in a 63-39 victory over Dunbarton in the semifinals. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers Taylor Pryce, left, and Stars Troy Barss, centre, battled for the puck in Ontario Junior Hockey League action Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Pickering lost the game 6-4 and host the Cobourg Cougars on Friday. ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE Colleagues now coaching foes John Goodwin’s Pickering Panthers host Wayne Marchment’s Cobourg Cougars BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- They have spent time behind the bench together, but on Friday night, they will be on opposing sides when the Pickering Panthers host the Cobourg Cougars. John Goodwin, the head coach of the Pan- thers, and Wayne Marchment, who holds the same role with the Cougars, were on the same staff together with the Oshawa Generals not so long ago. Goodwin piloted the team from 1997-2000 as Marchment served as an assis- tant coach, as did Curtis Hodgins, who is in the lead role with the Whitby Fury this sea- son after moving over from the Bowmanville Eagles. But so far this season, the mentor hasn’t fared as well as the students. In the six times Good- win’s Panthers have faced Cobourg or Whitby, they have yet to win. The most lopsided losses coming against Cobourg, when the Panthers were outscored 19-2 in just three games. “Cobourg is a very good, well-coached hock- ey team,” says Goodwin looking ahead to Fri- day’s 7:30 p.m. game at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. “(Cobourg) get beat by Lind- say and Peterborough, we beat those teams. But it’s funny, they have our number. “I think the gap is closing. The last time we played them, we were in the game.” The two coaches remain in contact, as their daughters, Kathryn Goodwin and Carly March- ment, play on the Durham West Junior Light- ning team in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, and are best of friends, says Goodwin. When the two coaches do get together at the rink, the dominance flexed by Cobourg in the season series to this point isn’t discussed. “It’s been kind of dominant on one side. I’m sure he doesn’t want to talk about it and I know I sure don’t,” laughs Goodwin. They do discuss the process that Cobourg had to undergo the past three seasons under Marchment’s watch, from winning just a hand- ful of games the first year, to missing the play- offs last season. Exiting the weekend, Cobourg had a share of first place with a 17-6-1 record. It’s the same blueprint Goodwin hopes to fol- low, as his Panthers are just 5-17-1 on the sea- son. “He’s a good guy,” Goodwin says of March- ment. “He was a great assistant coach for me as was Curtis Hodgins. It’s nice to see them both having success. “I just wish we could beat one of them because so far those guys are 6-0 combined against me so far, or against our team, because it’s not coaches against coaches.” After losses of 7-1, 8-1 and 4-0 to Cobourg, the Panthers will be looking to crawl a little closer Friday. After an horrific start with just two wins in 16 games, the Panthers have been better of late, earning points in four of the last seven games. “Over the last 10 games, this team has shown a lot of grit and character,” notes Goodwin. “Despite our record, we have let every team know that we’re in the game.” I just wish we could beat one of them because so far those guys are 6-0 combined against me so far.

But the junior guard, com- ing off a season in which he was thrust into a major role after starting point guard Al Nolan was declared ineligible due to academics and led the Gophers to the Big Ten tournament title game last March, is now dealing with some issues of his own. Joseph was suspended indefi- nitely last week by Minnesota coach Tubby Smith for a vio- lation of team rules. However, what exactly that violation was isn’t clear. “He had some off-the-court issues and some other things we had to deal with,” Smith told Myron P. Medcalf of the Minne- sota Star Tribune last week. “And he’s working his way through it. Hopefully he’ll do all the things required of him to get back in good grace. He’ll be practising, but he won’t be traveling. “I don’t want to get into all the particulars, but there are some things he’s got to address. He’s committing to doing it. “We’re certainly going to miss him, especially for the foresee- able future. And hopefully he gets what he has to get done so he can get back on the board at some point in time during sea- son. And at this stage, I’m not sure when that will be.” Joseph has already missed two games and will not travel to Puerto Rico, where the team will participate this week in the Puerto Rico Tipoff, featuring North Carolina and West Virgin- ia. Medcalf reported Monday, on his blog at the Star Tribune web- site, that Joseph could return next week should he continue to meet coach Smith’s require- ments. Joseph, a former standout at Pickering High School, averaged 9.4 points a game last year as a sophomore. -- with files from the Minnesota Star Tribune BASKETBALL Joseph suspended by Minnesota Golden Gophers HOCKEY Gold medal for Wakefield at 4 Nations Cup tourney Pickering forward collects seven points for Canada ST. JOHN’S, N.L. -- Jenn Wakefield and Tara Watchorn made a visit to the east coast a golden one. Wakefield, from Pickering, and Newcastle’s Watchorn helped Can- ada’s national women’s team edge the United States 3-2 Saturday night inside the Mile One Centre, where the largest crowd ever to attend a gold medal game at the 4 Nations Cup watched as Canada scored the winning goal in a thrilling overtime period. Canada has now won 12 gold medals and three silver medals at 15 4 Nations Cup tournaments, including gold last year in Vieura- maki, Finland. The United States has won gold at the international tournament three times, the last in 2008 in Lake Placid, N.Y. The inau- gural tournament was held in 1996 in Ottawa. Wakefield had a strong tourna- ment offensively, scoring twice and adding five assists, while Watchorn, a defenceman, was solid in all four games. Both players will now return to Boston University where they are in their junior year of scholarship eligibility. In the gold medal game, Cana- da opened the scoring in the first period, but the Americans staged a brief comeback during the second period for a 2-1 lead. A Canadi- an goal on the power play tied the game up at two apiece. The third period was scoreless, sending the gold medal game into overtime, with Canada scoring on a rebound 6:21 into the extra period, giving them the 3-2 win. Canada held a decisive edge in shots on goal, outgunning the U.S. 52-26. The win in the championship game exacted a little revenge for the Canadian squad, who opened the tournament with a 3-2 shoot- out loss to the U.S., then reeled off an 8-1 win over Sweden and a 15-0 hammering of Finland to set up a rematch in the gold medal game. In the bronze medal game, Fin- land edged Sweden 2-1. Canada’s roster for the 4 Nations Cup included 13 members of the gold medal-winning team from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Attendance at this year’s 4 Nations Cup was record-breaking, with 29,218 fans attending eight games over the course of the week. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 17, 201027 AP NOVEMBER 17, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

Tier Two Senior Uxbridge 7 Sinclair 0 The sixth-seeded Uxbridge Tigers posted their second shut- out over Sinclair this year as they eliminated the third-seed- ed Celtics 7-0. Dylan Smith, who recorded nine scoring points in the Tigers’ regular season 21-0 victory, accounted for all seven points with a touchdown on an interception return and a punt single. Port Perry 35 St. Stephen 6 The undefeated Rebels, led by Nick Corsi’s two-touchdown effort, disposed of the St. Ste- phen Royals 35-6. Single touch- downs were recorded by Logan Evans, Nathan Scott and Neil Roberts while Cameron Gilmore replied for the Royals. The Rebels will now host Uxbridge, whom they defeated by one point in a 7-6 opening-week win. O’Neill 8 Eastdale 7 The fifth-seeded O’Neill Red Hawks overcame a 7-0 half- time deficit as Jeremy Alexan- der’s 31-yard punt single with four minutes remaining provid- ed the winning margin. Taylor Upshaw’s 17-yard pass reception had staked the Eagles to a first- quarter lead which held until the final minute of the third quarter when Jason Bento was able to recover an O’Neill fumbled ball in the end zone for the equaliz- er. Pine Ridge 28 Notre Dame 12 Led by Andrew Brownlee, who recorded three touchdowns, the second-seeded Pumas punched their ticket to the semifinals pre- vailing 28-12 over Notre Dame. Dylan Roder also scored a touch- down for Pine Ridge while Dun- can Mitchell was perfect on all four point after attempts. Cou- gar touchdowns were credited to Hayden Plourde and Jordan Urquhart. Pine Ridge will now host O’Neill in semifinal play. The two schools did not play each other during the regular season. Pine Ridge: Andrew Brownlee 3TD; Dylan Roder TD; Duncan Mitchell 4C Tier Two Junior Uxbridge 42, O’Neill 19 Andrew and Matt Edwards combined for five touchdowns as the third-seeded Tigers elim- inated O’Neill. The Tigers will now play Eastdale in semifinal play. Eastdale won the regular- season game 30-27. Uxbridge: Andrew Edwards 3TD; Matt Edwards 2TD; Alex Heythorn TD; Braeden White- head 6C O’Neil: Tre Campbell TD; Spencer Evans TD; Brenden Costello TD; Tre Campbell C Dunbarton 27 St. Stephen 6 Dunbarton has advanced to the semifinals where they will meet Pine Ridge following a 27-6 win over St. Stephen.

FOOTBALL Semifinals are all set in Tier II playoffs SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals Andy Andreoff (15), of Pickering, tried to get a handle on the puck to get a shot on Peterborough Petes netminder Bryce O’Hagan, during OHL hockey action at the General Motors Centre on Sunday. ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE OSHAWA -- Many of the nearly 5,000 in attendance at the Gener- al Motors Centre on Sunday leapt to their feet and belted out a joyful cheer when Boone Jenner scored the game’s opening goal for the Oshawa Generals. None of them, though, was as elated as Jenner himself who, up until scoring in an eventual 3-2 win over the Peterborough Petes, hadn’t scored a goal since Oct. 17, a span of 11 games. The slump-ender came with just over five minutes remaining in the second period as Jenner, stationed in front of the goal on a four-on- three power play, slapped in a rebound off a Christian Thom- as point shot and proceeded to sweep the ice behind the Petes net with his glove and then jump into the glass in celebration. “It felt good to get that mon- key off my back. I’ve been a lit- tle snake-bitten,” said a relieved Jenner afterwards. “Getting that one was huge. Any time you score in a tight game like that one, it’s a huge boost.” Jenner breaks out of slump for Generals durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 17, 201028 AP (905) 743-4601 ext. 3151 Join the IQT experience!
