Two of the major priorities, a focus on job creation and downtown intensification and development, go hand-in-hand. Downtown intensification was a focus of the City of Pickering during the last term of council, and a number of new business- es announced tenancy in the city, creating new jobs. The building of the office tower at Pickering Parkway, east of Liverpool Road, and plans for a parking pad and a pedestrian bridge from the Pickering GO station to the office tower, are well under- way. When Mayor Ryan announced those plans in 2009, he said it would be a catalyst for growth in Picker- ing’s downtown core. Two major office ten- ant are already in place -- Municipal Property Assess- ment Corporation and Ontar- io Power Generation -- and negotiations are currently tak- ing place for another this year. Mayor Ryan said at the 2011 Mayor’s New Year’s Day Levee, he found the tower and bridge were starting to catch hold in the commu- nity. “They’re starting to get excited about it,” he said. The next priority for this year is proper plan- ning for the Province of Ontario’s project that will sit in north Pickering. “The next priority will be Seaton. It has to be Seaton,” he said. Upon initial build-out, 35,000 people are expected to work in Seaton, and up to 70,000 people will live there. The City will continue to push the Prov- ince so the development comes in expedi- tiously, but with a jobs-first priority, and ensuring proper sustainable measures are in place, Mayor Ryan said. While the Province has ultimate control of Seaton, the City should have somewhat more of a hold with neighbourhood plan- ning, he said. The Province will have to ensure tight environmental controls and development rules are observed, he said, adding “we continue to take that message to the Province.” Mayor Ryan said Pickering’s bicentenni- al is not a priority for council, but is some- thing that should not be lost sight of; it demonstrates what Pickering has accom- plished so far, and what it’s capable of in the future.

(UNT3TREET3UIT!JAX(ARWOOD(WY 4- Parent of St. Francis de Sales Catholic School student says her daughter is taking it hard BRENDAN KENNEDY newsroom@durhamregion.com AJAX -- As classes resumed Monday morning at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Ajax, principal David Malleau visited each classroom to address the con- spicuous absence of one teacher. Paul Martin, who taught Grade 5 and 6 at the tight-knit elementary school of fewer than 200 students, remains in a Jamaican jail after being charged with trying to kill his wife, Cathy-Lee Martin, on Dec. 23. The couple, who have two young chil- dren, were on vacation near Montego Bay, trying to mend a broken relation- ship, according to court testimony. The school followed its normal rou- tine, said superintendent Tracy Barill, but staff did not avoid the subject. “One of the things we try to do is stick to the facts about what we know and not speculate about what we don’t know,” Ms. Barill said. “Most of the kids were well aware of what has been reported in the media.” Marcela Giguere, one of Mr. Martin’s Grade 6 students, said it was too difficult to be in class Monday, so she spent most of the day talking to a counsellor. “Every time I was in the classroom, I would just think of him not being there,” she said. “He was the funniest teach- er I’ve ever known. He always made us laugh.” Marcela’s mother, Linda, said her daughter cried for hours when she first heard the news. “I’m worried about my daughter,” Ms. Giguere said. “She’s taking it hard.” Marcela doesn’t know the specifics of the allegations, but she is aware that Mr. Martin is in jail in Jamaica and he will not be back soon. “As soon as we (Marcela and her class- mates) heard about it, we thought, ‘We’re never going to see him again.’ That was the first thought we had,” the student said. School officials also met with about 60 parents on Monday morning. The board’s chief child psychologist, Ian Brown, answered questions and gave parents advice on how to talk to their children about what happened. Social workers and child and youth counsellors were also on hand to sup- port students and assist teachers, Ms. Barill said. Meanwhile, Mr. Martin -- who was denied bail last week -- sits in a police lock-up in Clarks Town, Jamaica, about 20 kilometres from the isolated coast- al road where his wife testified he twice slashed her throat, tried to strangle her and accused her of having an affair. “He is very concerned about his chil- dren, equally about his wife,” said Mr. Martin’s lawyer, Ernest Smith. Cathy-Lee Martin, wearing a thick ban- dage around her neck, testified against her husband at a preliminary court hear- ing last week. She returned home last Wednesday and is recovering from her injuries with her children and family. Mr. Martin’s family has been “very sup- portive,” his lawyer said, and several of them have travelled to Jamaica to be with him. One of Mr. Martin’s brothers is B.C. Liberal MP Keith Martin, who has not responded to multiple requests for com- ment. “Keith has not arrived as yet,” Mr. Smith said. “But I expect him to be here before (Martin’s next court appearance).” Mr. Smith refused to discuss any poten- tial defence strategies, except to say that he intends to appeal the decision to deny Mr. Martin bail. “Overall, I’m pretty confident that at the end of the day, my client will be sat- isfied with the outcome of this case,” Mr. Smith said. Mr. Martin, 43, is expected to remain in jail until his next court appearance on Jan. 21. -- Brendan Kennedy is a reporter for the Toronto Star Rafael Jewellery 15 Westney Road North at Kingston Road, Ajax (In the Westney Heights Plaza beside Rogers) 905-426-4700 www.rafaeljewellery.com Basedd on thee Dailyy Worldd Goold Pricce Inndeex We Buy All Gold & Silver Looking For A Unique Gift?

His next court appearance is Jan. 21 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 6, 20114 AP Whitby McDonald’s manager arrested last September OSHAWA -- The case against a fast food res- taurant manager accused of sexual contact with two young workers continues to make its way through the court system. Anthony Barsanti of Ajax is to appear in court next month for a pretrial hearing. Mr. Barsan- ti, 35, was not present when his case was spo- ken to at the Oshawa courthouse Wednesday morning. Mr. Barsanti is charged with sexual exploitation, sexual interference and sexual assault, relating to allegations made by two girls who worked for him at a McDonald’s out- let on Brock Street in Whitby. Durham police say Mr. Barsanti pursued social relationships with the girls, 15 and 16, eventually inviting them to his home where the sexual contact is alleged to have occurred. Mr. Barsanti, who was released on bail shortly after his arrest in September, has been ordered to stay away from the restaurant. He’s represented by lawyer Alan Risen. The case is next before the court Feb. 25. PRETRIAL Court appearance for Ajax man on sex charges PICKERING -- Police are looking for a man who tried to coax a girl into his car for sex as she walked to school in Pickering. The girl, 11, told Durham cops she was walk- ing along Parkside Drive to Gandatsetiagon Public School at about 8:45 a.m. Dec. 14 when she was approached by a man who offered to give her a ride in exchange for a sexual act. The child walked away from the vehicle and reported the incident at her school, which is in the vicinity of Whites Road and Finch Ave- nue. Police are trying to identify the suspect, described as a white man in his 40s who was clean-shaven and has pale blue eyes. He wore a light green ball cap and is believed to have been driving a four-door grey or silver Mitsub- ishi.

Usually the campaign goes until midnight on Christmas Eve, but this year the fund fell short of its goal so the deadline was extend- ed until New Year’s Eve. Ultimately, the fund surpassed its target, raising $1,628,277. “It was heartwarming to see a lot of our donors who had made donations make second donations,” said Barb Mrozek, director of charities and philanthropy for the Toronto Star. In addition to delivering Christmas boxes to children in Toronto, the Star partners with local papers to provide boxes to children in Mississauga, Brampton, Ajax and Pickering. More than 45,000 boxes for children up to age 12 were delivered this year by an army of volunteers, including a group out of the News Advertiser’s Ajax office. Children who receive presents are referred through Ontario Works or community agencies. Ms. Mrozek said there are several reasons people in the community support the Santa Fund. “The primary reason they tell us is because 100 per cent of the dollars are spent on the children,” she said. Administration costs are covered by the Star and sister papers. “The fact that we’ve been around for more than a century makes donors feel confident.” Locally, Ajax and Pickering residents donated $44,579 this year and Ms. Mrozek said people who can’t afford to give will often volunteer their time delivering presents. “This does become a huge community effort to ensure children have something at Christ- mas,” she said. The Santa Fund campaign will be back again in late 2011.

I was rather shocked to read Jennifer O’Meara’s article about the Pattersons grip- ing about the poppy street sign to honour their son. The sign never should have been approved in the first place. Soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice should be given this honour. Also, it should be reserved for sol- diers who fought for Canada. It demeans the honour intended if it is handed it out willy-nilly. I’m sure there are a few Cana- dian-born sons and daughters who have fought valiantly for their beliefs that should be given street signs, but may have fought for countries unpopular with us at this time. Why should we honour a person who fought for the U.S.A? Many Canadians are against these latest wars, and more Canadians are against all war. Kellie Mcdonell Newcastle Street naming policy has been amended in the past To the editor: Further to the Dec. 20, 2010 Clarington Council vote to deny our amendment to the ‘street naming policy’, we believe that resident Canadian citizens serving in allied militaries have been discriminated against by members of council. The policy has been amended twice before, by open-minded councils, on June 26, 2006, and then again on March 25, 2008. They should be sup- porting us taxpayers and members of the electorate.A member of the staff has stated that he has never seen the policy and that the Bowmanville Legion considered the poppy on Corporal Patterson Lane disre- spectful to Canadian soldiers, and yet to cover their error by tape was not meant to be disrespectful, but was meant to appease the Legion. The staff report states that, “Our amend- ment is not supported by the Legion, Branch 178, that it would open a can of worms”. Legion Branch 178 made Corporal Patter- son an honorary member in 2003; he spoke at one of their meetings, presenting them with the eagle, globe and anchor, a replica of the United States Marine Corps. We sent the amendment to the Legion for support, but never got a response. We need to bring the Legion into the 21st century. We have supporting letters from the com- munity. If our son was willing to lay down his life for the freedom these people enjoy, then we are determined in our cause. Dave and Roberta Patterson Newcastle SECURITY Background checks an exercise in frustration To the editor: Re: ‘Why the delay on background checks’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com. On Aug. 8, 2010, I applied for my criminal background check, as I was to start a new job. I received a response mid-September, and was horrified to read that my name or birth date matched a pardoned sex offend- er. On contacting the local police depart- ment, I was advised that I would have to pay an additional $25 (I had already paid $45) as the RCMP was now in charge of a specific part of the check. I had to be fingerprinted and have my picture taken before a further check could be done. I had this done on Sept. 23. I was totally humiliated, but this had to be done before I could start my new job. Hop- ing to speed this process up, I called Dur- ham police, and was duly impressed by their concern. They explained that the RCMP had taken over the VS part of the check, and they are far behind -- at least 300 letters like mine were being sent out every month due to the new system. I then called the RCMP -- at my expense -- and it was explained to me that this was a new system and, unfortunately, these things happen. I asked why I had to pay to have my picture taken and prints done when I had already paid previously, and she said that was an RCMP charge, and she also told me that every time I have a CBC done, this was going to happen -- it’s the way the system works. Some system. Needless to say, I am not impressed, but I did get the results back on Nov. 8, and every- thing was fine, as I knew it would be. But I sure went through hell for three months. A.P.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 6, 20116 P Pickering bicentennial something worth celebrating Pickering has come a long way -- literal- ly and figuratively -- from its first council meeting on March 4, 1811. At the time the first meeting was con- vened and Town fathers discussed impor- tant issues of the day, Major General Isaac Brock was preparing to defend Upper Canada from American invaders, and David Thompson was approaching the Pacific Ocean as a surveyor and explorer for the Hudson’s Bay Company. Today, as the Millennium City marks its bicentennial, a monument stands to Brock’s military efforts in Niagara-on-the- Lake while the Hudson’s Bay Company has entered its fourth century of trade and commerce, an iconic Canadian company that, like Pickering, has endured. In the simplest terms, 2011 is a year to celebrate Pickering’s past, present and future. Let’s take stock: Pickering has grown to become Durham Region’s second largest city by population; it plays host to Ontario Power Generation, which employs 9,000 people in the nuclear energy industry; its population is well-educated and relatively affluent; and it is led by a strong and func- tional local government. Citizens have access to top-notch health care at two nearby sites in Ajax and Scar- borough, taxes are competitive, it is home to some of the best farmland in the nation, and there are plenty of abiding opportu- nities for growth. Pickering residents are encouraged to take part in the many events planned by the City and local organizations this year -- not least of which is a re-enactment of that first council meeting -- to honour our past and look optimistically to the future. The adage about not knowing where we’re going unless we know where we’ve been seems a fitting descriptor of the year ahead. And along with taking part in the many celebratory events that will provide mark- ers for the bicentennial -- a summer peace concert at Esplanade Park, Canada Day festivities on July 1, among others -- the Pickering News Advertiser invites res- idents to share their planned events to help make the bicentennial anniversary a year to remember as we assemble a spe- cial anniversary calendar listing 200 of the bicentennial events throughout the year. E-mail Pickering reporter Kristen Calis at kcalis@durhamregion.com with your events and include your contact informa- tion for followup. This is a big deal, 200 years in the mak- ing.

ENVIRONMENT Durham residents can drop off e-waste Local sites accepting unwanted electronics year-round DURHAM -- If your old electronics have been replaced with new ones this holiday season and you aren’t sure what to do with the old ones, Ontario Electronic Steward- ship has the answer. OES, a not-for-profit organization special- izing in the collection of recyclable elec- tronic waste, encourages Ontario residents to drop off any electronics they no longer need or want year-round. There are several drop-off locations in Durham Region. Due to the expanded list of items OES began accepting as of April 1, 18 tonnes were collected earlier this year when OES held its city-to-city collection tour around Ontario. “We saw a lot of items such as comput- ers, cellphones, stereos, keyboards, print- ers and radios,” said OES executive direc- tor Carol Hochu, who referred to the tour’s response as “overwhelmingly positive.” But these are just a few of OES’s now- accepted items, with a much greater list ranging from turntables to pagers and PDAs to answering machines. Because it contains hazardous compo- nents such as batteries, mercury and lead, electronic waste must be handled carefully and kept out of landfill. But it is not garbage, and because it contains valuable, reusable materials, drop-offs are recommended. “The events for 2011 are still in planning, but local residents can log onto www.recy- cleyourelectronics.ca to find permanent collection sites ... where they can drop off their electronics on a regular basis,” said Ms. Hochu. Drop-off locations in Durham Region include: • City of Pickering, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. • Henry’s Photo-Video-Digital, 705 Kings- ton Rd., White’s Road Shopping Centre, Pickering • Staples, 1805 Pickering Pkwy.

In addition to the toll increase on the 108-kilometre highway, which extends from Burlington to Pickering, changes to the zones were also announced Friday. “We understand we have to keep rates affordable, but we also know that control- ling congestion is the most important thing we can do for customers,” said spokesman Kevin Sack. “To maintain the highway as a fast, safe and reliable alternative, tolls are very important. Tolls are the mechanism by which you can control congestion on the highway.” The cost of a trip depends on factors such as time of day, type of vehicle, distance and section travelled and use of a valid tran- sponder. The complete fee schedule is at www.407etr.com. As part of the changes, the heavily trav- elled Regular Zone will grow and the Light Zone, which is less expensive to travel, will shrink to the stretches between Highway 403 and Highway 401, and between High- way 400 and Highway 404. New costs Light vehicles in Regular Zone: Peak periods (6-7:30 a.m., 8:30-10 a.m., 3-4 p.m., 6-7 p.m. weekdays): 22.75 cents, up by 1.4 cents Peak hours (a new designation, 7:30-8:30 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. weekdays): 22.95 cents, up by 1.6 cents (seven per-cent increase) Light vehicles in Light Zone: Peak periods: 21.25 cents, up 1.15 cents Peak hours: 21.45 cents, up 1.35 cents Light vehicles in off-peak hours (includes weekends and holidays): 19.35 cents, up one cent Transponder lease: $2.75 monthly, up 25 cents (annual rate stays at $21.50) Video toll charge (for cars without tran- sponder): $3.65 per trip, up 5 cents The rate is determined at the time the vehi- cle enters the highway. On top of the regular tolls and transpon- der lease fees, the “trip toll” for every vehi- cle will also climb. Light vehicles will be charged 50 cents per trip; heavy vehicles 60 cents; heavy multiple vehicles 85 cents. The highway has budgeted more than $60 million in 2011 for new lanes and other improvements.

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Anxious about your job? Your ﬁ nances? Your health? It’s normal to feel occasional anxiety in ev- eryday life, but 1 in 5 Canadians experience something far more intense than that. If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activities, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of 6 million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety dis- orders engage in damaging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding cir- cumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued distress,” explains clinical psy- chologist Dr. David Direnfeld, Director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “When you stop going to par- ties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrinking around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-conﬁ dence and self- worth is often accompanied by depression— a pervasive sense of hopelessness,sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our ex- pert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medication. One form of “talk ther- apy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety dis- Fear, Sadness, Worry are Treatable Conditions Simple “talk therapy” can yield same or better results than medication, studies show. orders and depression in the short term, and in many cases, more ef- fective at preventing relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain- imaging scans show that CBT produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identical to the effects of medi- cation. “The major difference,” explains Dr. Direnfeld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side- effects is nil.” These facts, along with thou- sands of clinical studies supporting its ef- fectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non- medical treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, for- wardlooking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple premise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life experiences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may ﬁ nd ourselves with irra- tional, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experiences that happened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to prepare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by chal- lenging the irrational beliefs that sabotage you, and replacing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxiety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efﬁ cacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-altering changes in a rela- tively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more information about CBT or to book a consultation at the Centre for Cognitive Behav- iour Therapy (ofﬁ ces in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905-427- 2007 or email info@ccbt.ca. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 6, 201111 AP Underwritten by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company Enjoy warm weather all winter long with Medipac Travel Insurance Take Advantage of: ✔Loyalty Rewards ✔Claims Free Discounts ✔Emergency Assistance ✔MedipacPLUS ✔Savings up to 15% 1-888-MEDIPAC twww.medipac.com.SPKPUN:OLSM:VS\[PVUZ0UJ For a free consultation call 1-877-895-9766 www.glidingshelf.ca Custom gliding shelves for your existing cabinets U Double the space U Easy access U Better organization äx{ÎÎÓxÎÇ ÜÜÜ°,ÜÌLÞ°V TM SERVICES «>ÃÃ>ÌiÊi >ÀiÊvÀÊ-iÀÃ° ÕÀÞÊ,>ÌiÃ vÀÊÞÊf£°xt -AKINGHISMARKON THECHAMPION´STOUR "9*%&&2%92%%$ It’s a tale for the ages. After abandoning professional golf 25 years ago, Niagara Falls native Rod Spittle, 55, today is the avatar of all mature golfers who hit a few decent shots out on the links with their buddies and dream they could one day contend on a big- time golf tour. Spittle’s storybook vic- tory at the Champions Tour AT&T Champi- onship in late October secured full-time playing status on the senior PGA tour for 2011. His playoff win and $262,500 U.S. cheque in San Antonio, Texas, has changed his life. No lon- ger would Spittle have to attempt to qualify for Champions Tour events during Monday qualifying. With his 2011 tour card secured, Spittle and his wife Ann can relax knowing their ﬁ nancial needs will be met. And Spittle can simply concentrate on golf. Spittle, admittedly, has never been just your average hack- er. He was the 1977 and 1978 Canadian Amateur champion. But he chose not to pursue a professional golf career after starring at Ohio State University and winning the back-to- back Canadian Amateur titles. Six years ago, however, he and Ann quit their jobs, sold their home in Ohio and hit the road in pursuit of success on the professional tour. If he had it to do over again, he would have done it ex- actly the same, says Spittle. “I didn’t quite understand how guys would want to be married and leave their wife and kids,” he says. “I kind of put my clubs in the corner and put my shirt and tie on and went to work.” After Ohio State, Spittle worked in sales and marketing for a corporate insurance company. Over the years, he kept his game sharp, and won three Ohio Mid-Amateur titles. But it has always been family before golf for Spittle, who says 2010 has “almost left me speechless.” Spittle’s father Jack, who taught him the game of golf, died in May. Two of Spittle’s children, daughter Leslie, 31, and son John, 26, were married this past summer. Spittle’s son Steve is 29. His mother Brenda still lives in Niagara Falls where Spittle played hockey during winter and golf during the summer. Jack was one of 25 partners who founded Willodell Golf and Country Club (now Willodell Golf Club of Niagara) in 1964. Spittle says his decision at age 49 to quit his job and form a company to acquire ﬁ nancial backers in pursuit of a pro- fessional golf career “wasn’t a mid-life crisis by any stretch. Honestly, I still believed I had some golf left in me and I could win at that level.” The road to Champions Tour success has been a bumpy one for Spittle. He made over $325,000 in 2007 but nothing in 2009, when he missed out on one of two conditionally exempt spots on the Champions Tour after making par on a second playoff hole. The October AT&T was supposed to be a warm-up for the Champions Tour’s gruelling November qualifying school, where only a handful of golfers would earn their tour cards. “Had we not gotten the card in 30 days, I would say 99-per-cent chance that we were going back to work. We were going to do something else,” Spittle says. In March 2010, he took the post as director of golf at Little Turtle Golf Club in Westerville, Ohio. Spittle will work on his game this winter before the Champions Tour 2011 season-opening January event in Hawaii. His caddie and swing coach, J.R. Ables, is a teaching pro in central Ohio. Besides Ables, Spittle gives praise to Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member Bob Panasik of Windsor, who for the past few years has offered swing tips. As a regular on the Champions Tour, Spittle will be re- united with college roommates John Cook and Joey Sin- delar, now Tour regulars. Things won’t get easier for Spittle. The 78-man ﬁ elds include many of the graduating top guns of the PGA Tour. “The Champions Tour has been set up for a place for guys coming off the regular tour to play for another six or eight years. It works with all the name guys, the marquee guys and Hall of Fame players,” says Spittle. And now, make room for Rod Spittle, Canadian Amateur champ of the late-1970s who took the road less travelled to the Champions Tour. “I’m entering a brand new world,” says Spittle. #!.!$!´3 !$5,4 ,)&%349,% 05",)#!4)/. *!.5!29\!$6%24)3).'&%!452% durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 6, 201112 P Mayor Ryan explained that on March 4, 1811, the first town meeting of what was known at the time as the Township of Pickering was held at Thompson’s Tav- ern in Brougham. The municipality has now transformed into one of the most diverse cities in Canada, he said. “Pickering has come a long way since then and I am excited that we start this next leg of our journey together; all of you are the reason that this city is a great place to work, live and play in,” he said to the crowd. In an interview, Mayor Ryan said Pickering plans to take advantage of the great energy of Pickering’s community and corporate base throughout the com- ing year. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate what we have accomplished and what we’re capable of accomplishing,” said the mayor. Among the sponsors and community members in attendance was Shashi Bha- tia, founding member and chairwoman of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Associa- tion of Durham Inc. “Today is the most inspiring day for all of us,” she said. “We are marking history today.” Ms. Bhatia, a long-time Pickering resi- dent, originally from India, plans to par- ticipate in as many events as possible throughout the bicentennial year. She added the ICCAD is also planning some special events to mark the occasion, such as a peace concert at Esplanade Park and a drumming festival. The City of Pickering has a number of events planned throughout the year to celebrate the anniversary, includ- ing new events such as the re-enact- ment of the first Town Council meeting on March 3 and 4, a birthday bash on March 4, and the City’s participation in Doors Open in October. Annual events such as the fourth annual Rotary Ribfest and the Canada Day celebration will have bicentennial branding and added fun.

But the third period proved quite the obstacle and Canada is left star- ing at a silver medal for the second year in a row after they lost to Rus- sia 5-3 Wednesday night in the gold medal game of the World Junior Hockey Championships. Russia scored five unanswered goals in the third period, the winner off the stick of Artemi Panarin with under five minutes to go in regula- tion at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo. Afterwards a seemingly heartbro- ken Calvin de Haan, captain of the Oshawa Generals, struggled to find the words to explain the feeling of disappointment inside the Canadi- an room. “I don’t know. I’m just in shock right now. I don’t really know what to say,” said de Haan, who was a member of the Canadian team that lost in overtime of the gold medal final last year to the U.S. Asked to compare this year’s awful collapse to last year’s over- time gut-wrencher, de Haan said this one stings much more. “A thousand times worse. It’s dis- appointing,” he said before paus- ing. “I’m sorry, I am at a loss for words right now.” Through 40 minutes Canada looked to have this one in the bag. Goals by Ryan Ellis, assisted by de Haan, on an early power play, and Carter Ashton in the final minute spotted them a 2-0 lead. And they could have had more in the first, outshooting the Russians 14-8. More did come in the second, though, as Brayden Schenn con- verted a beautiful cross-ice pass from Marcus Foligno to make it 3-0 and chase Russian netmind- er Dmitri Shikin from the goal. He was replaced by Igor Bobkov of the London Knights. That, perhaps, was the turning point the Russians needed. Bobkov held the fort through the remain- der of the second period and then early in the third the Russians took over. Panarin scored his first of the game at 2:33 and 11 seconds later Maxim Kitsyn beat a shocked Mark Visentin in the Canadian goal. Then at 7:29 Russia struck again with a goal from captain Vladimir Tarasenko which tied things up at 3-3. At that point Team Canada coach Dave Cameron called a time out and gathered in his troops. His message? “Calm down. It was a zero- zero game at that point and next goal pretty much wins,” de Haan explained of what was said in the timeout. Those words proved to be all too prophetic for Canada’s liking as the Russians struck again with Panarin’s second of the night and the eventual game-winner before salting it away thanks to a goal from Nikita Dvurechensky with 1:16 remaining. The gold for the Russians is their first since 2003 when they beat Canada in Halifax. Bobkov, mean- while, ended up winning the player of the game award for Russia after his 20-save effort in relief. Canada outshot Russia 38-27 all told. Schenn’s goal in the second peri- od gave him 18 points in the tour- nament, tying the all-time mark set by Dale McCourt back in 1977 and one ahead of the 17 once reached by former Oshawa General Eric Lindros. What makes Schenn’s per- formance all that more remark- able is that he reportedly played the final two games of the tournament with a separated shoulder. Meanwhile, until the Russian onslaught in the third, just as had been the case all tournament long, the crowd at HSBC was full of bois- terous Canadians. The game was barely three min- utes old when the loud crowd of Canadians serenaded the arena with chants of ‘We want the gold’, however, the Russian comeback, perhaps one of the greatest ever in the history of the World Juniors, thwarted those hopes. But despite their runner up sta- tus for a second straight year after five consecutive goal medals, Cam- eron said there is still reason to be proud. “Because these guys were so com- mitted, I am extremely proud of them,” he said in a post-game news conference. “Like I said, to play as well as they did over the period of time that they did, outside of the third period collapse, means they did a lot more right than wrong. That’s what I’ll focus on.” WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS Heartbreak again for de Haan RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND BUFFALO -- Calvin de Haan and teammates are in obvious despair after Canada let a 3-0 lead slip away and lost 5-3 to Russia in the gold medal game of the World Junior Hockey Championships last night at the HSBC Arena.

The Raiders opened the tournament with two 1-0 shutout victories over the Mississauga Rebels and the Burlington Eagles. Following a difficult 2-0 loss to the Toronto Junior Canadians, the Raiders needed a victory over their rivals, the Whitby Wildcats, to secure first place in the division and a high playoff seeding. The Raiders came out skating to win the divi- sion with a 3-1 victory. In the quarterfinals, Ajax- Pickering drew the Toronto Red Wings. It was a physi- cal and fast game with the Raiders prevailing 2-1 in overtime. The victory set the scene for a match between the Raiders and the Toronto Young Nation- als, ranked third in Ontario. The Nats were out to avenge the defeat they suf- fered last year to the Raid- ers at the Sarnia Silver Stick but could not get past the stingy defence and excel- lent goaltending of Kyle Corrigan. The Raiders pre- vailed 2-0 to advance to the final, which would be their third game of the day. The final pitted the Raid- ers against the No. 1-ranked team in the province, the Toronto Marlies. In two previous meet- ings against the Marlies, the Raiders had been unable to score a goal. The game was extremely fast with good chances at both ends but through 45 minutes of reg- ulation play, the game was a scoreless draw. A 10-minute overtime still could not decide the affair, as Jacob Gordon made save after save, sending the game went to a five-player shootout. The Raiders’ first two shooters, Kevin Stiles and Joshua Cammalleri, both scored while the Marlie shooters were again sty- mied by Gordon, resulting in the Raiders’ win. Team members are Kyle Corrigan and Jacob Gordon in goal, Denis Cimic, Jack Daley, Craig Henning, Tyler Munro, Harrison Stefura, and Daniel Wu on defence and forwards Joshua Cam- malleri, Connor Gibson, Jordan Hardie, Matthew Hunter, Dylan Latty, Kevin Stiles, Davis Teigen-Katsu- mi, Noah Vandervinne, and Wayne Villeneuve. The Raiders are coached by Paul Cammalleri, Danny Minnings, and Basil Ste- fura. The trainer is David Hunter and the manager is Jason Vandervinne. SUBMITTTED PHOTO OAKVILLE -- The minor peewee Ajax-Pickering Raiders won a Christmas tournament in Oakville. Down wins silver at Spengler DAVOS, SWITZERLAND -- Whitby’s Blaine Down has won a silver medal with Can- ada’s entry at the Spengler Cup. Down, a 28-year-old for- ward who plays for ZSC Zur- ich Lions in Switzerland, also played in the tournament last year as an emergency replacement, but saw action in only one game, his Hock- ey Canada debut. This time he was on the roster from the get go, and earned an assist in Cana- da’s 4-0 semifinal win over HC Davos. The only other time his name made the scoresheet was in the final against SKA St. Petersburg, a 4-3 Canada loss. Down was serving a tripping penalty when former NHLer Alexei Yashin scored on a five-on- three power play to make the score 2-1. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 6, 201117 AP Insurance Broker Registration This course will help you prepare for broker registration (acting under su- pervision), or increase your knowledge if you are a non-producer broker staff member, insurance buyer, adjuster or an insurance company employee.
