Children packed Pickering council cham- bers on March 4 and were glued to the Back- woods Players Volunteer Heritage Theatre Company’s production of the Township of Pickering’s first council meeting, which took place exactly 200 years before. Based on the meeting’s minutes, the group told the story of Pickering separating from Whitby Town- ship and creating its own municipality, its own municipal laws and electing its early leaders. “I thought the production was awesome,” said Juanna Suraganan, of Saint Elizabeth Seton Catholic School, adding it was fun and educational. The group put on a number of productions on March 3 and 4 and more than 700 stu- dents saw Pickering’s history come to life.

Drug, weapons charges laid against four, including Ajax man DURHAM -- Several people face charges after Durham Regional Police executed warrants in Oshawa in two separate investigations. Members of the police gun and gang enforcement unit conducted a firearm and drug investigation on March 3 in which three males were arrested after offi- cers saw drug transactions. In one arrest, a 9-mm semi- automatic replica handgun was seized. Also seized was more than $2,000 in cash in another arrest. A search warrant was executed on a residence on Olive Avenue in Oshawa, and police found a small amount of marijuana, crack cocaine and cash. A 2002 Ford Mustang was seized under Proceeds of Crime leg- islation. Jeffery Lee, 46 of Falby Court in Ajax; Andre Daniel, 34 of no fixed address; and Storm Henry, 20 of Olive Avenue in Oshawa, have been charged with drug and firearm-related offences. Mr. Lee was released on an undertaking with condi- tions, while Mr. Daniel and Mr. Henry were both held for bail hearings. A separate investigation initiated by the Central East Target team resulted in a search warrant being exe- cuted at a home on William Street in Oshawa. A lone male occupant was arrested and investigators seized cocaine, marijuana and $2,800 in cash. Ken Maharaj, 33 of Oshawa, faces drug-related charg- es, and was held for a bail hearing. CRIME Search warrants in Oshawa lead to arrests No serious injuries in crash near Salem Road AJAX -- Two passengers were taken to hospital Tuesday morning after a car flew off Hwy. 401 and landed on Ajax railroad tracks. Police closed the eastbound Hwy. 401 off-ramp at Salem Road when a single vehicle went off the road and landed on the train tracks at 11:10 a.m. March 8. “It just went off the ramp and ended up on the tracks,” said OPP Sergeant Dave Woodford. He said two people were taken to Rouge Valley Health System Ajax and Pickering hospital as a pre- cautionary measure, but no serious injuries were reported. CN rail police as well as GO Transit were made aware of the incident. “They would close the tracks and they would go out as well,” Sgt. Woodford said. According to the OPP’s Twitter feed at 12:25 p.m., crews were working to remove the car from the tracks and damage was reported to the railroad. According to Go Transit’s Twitter feed, as of 12:34 p.m., eastbound service between Ajax and Oshawa GO stations has been temporarily delayed due to the crash. The cause is currently unknown and the investiga- tion continues. EMERGENCY SERVICES Car veers onto train tracks in Ajax durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 9, 20114 AP Mary Ann Martin refuses to name who allegations are about MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A storm is brewing at the Durham Catholic District School Board. The controversy stems from a notice of motion at Monday’s school board meet- ing that contains allegations a trustee was not a Catholic or a separate school ratepayer while holding the position of a Catholic school council chair. The notice of motion was brought for- ward by Trustee Mary Ann Martin at a meeting on Feb. 28. But Trustee Martin refuses to say who the motion is about. The notice goes on to say the board should censure the member who “seri- ously breached Board Policy and made misleading claims of being a Separate School Sup- porter and a Catholic over a number of years.” Chairwoman of the board, Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge trustee Kathy LeFort, who read the motion at the board meeting, also will not say who the motion refers to, adding that the matter will be dealt with at the board’s meeting on March 28. “This is just a notice of motion and I have no comment on it until it goes in front of the board,” Trustee LeFort said. Trustee Martin said the issue arose when a ratepayer contacted the board with concerns. She said she brought the motion forward because the actions are in breach of the board’s policies and pro- cedures and to let the public know this had taken place. “It’s for the public,” Trustee Martin said, adding she thought it was essen- tial for the matter to come to the public’s attention. “That is the most important part.” Trustee Martin said the board office has copies of the tax assessments of the person in question that go back to 2004 and show the trustee was not a separate school ratepayer. Although the trustee was not named, newly elected Oshawa trustee There- sa Corless says she’s consulting a law- yer. She was chairwoman of the board’s Regional School Council from 2004 to 2009 and sat as chairwoman at Catho- lic school councils at Monsignor Paul Dwyer High School, St. Gregory Catholic School and St. John Bosco school. She said she has always been a Catho- lic school ratepayer. A search of the City of Oshawa’s assessment on the Corless home shows the property has had taxes allocated to the separate board since 2009, which is as far back as public com- puter shows. A City employee said the home’s taxes were allocated to the separate school board as far back as the records showed. “This motion has absolutely no sub- stance and no merit and it’s sad when these actions do nothing to promote Catholic education and student success,” she said. “Our focus should always be kids first.” Director of education for the board, Paul Pulla, said it would be inappropriate for him to comment on the matter before it comes before trustees for debate at the March 28 meeting. He pointed to the board’s policy on Catholic school councils that says the chair and vice-chair of Catholic School councils must be separate school sup- porters. “In those positions you must be a sepa- rate school ratepayer,” Mr. Pulla said. According to Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC): “to support a separate school board, the property owner or tenant must be Roman Catholic.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Virginia’s World WasShrinking 1801Valley Farm Road 905-420-3369 www.chartwellreit.ca RETIREMENT RESIDENCE Nowshehassomuchtolookforwardto NowthatVirginialivesinaChartwellresidence,sheissurrounded by people with similar interests and experiences.

MARY ANN MARTIN FOLLOW OUR TWITTER FEED AT NEWSDURHAM durhamregion.comThe boys were able to participate in the meeting, as the town’s men would have in 1811, but the girls couldn’t be elected and they couldn’t vote. “I kind of got upset because I wanted to vote too,” Juanna said of being told her vote, which was done by the audience’s cheering, wouldn’t count. Joseph Ruscica, also of Saint Elizabeth Seton, agreed, and said “I think it was unfair” that women didn’t have a political voice back then. But he thoroughly enjoyed the reenact- ment and thought it was neat to see what he and his classmates are learning in their civ- ics class come to life. The production showed that roads, absen- tee landowners and the need to focus on education were clear issues at the time in Pickering, which was still a wilderness and inhabited by settlers working to carve out a new society. The only bylaws passed at that histor- ic meeting regarded the animals that were allowed to roam free -- pigs that were 40 pounds and heavier -- and the height of fences and the width between the rails. Both of these bylaws were enforced to protect the residents’ food gardens. At that meeting, they also elected a Town clerk, four pathmasters (to take care of the roads), two poundkeepers (to regulate the stray animals), two assessors, a tax collector and two Town wardens, who handled com- plaints from residents. The City was also pleased to receive a special gift for its birthday, the original first council minutes, which is now part of the exhibit currently on display in the lobby of City Hall, One The Esplanade. It is normally safely contained at the Archives of Ontario but will be in Pickering’s care until April 15. Mayor Dave Ryan, who spoke to the stu- dents, asked them to reflect on the past but to also give some thought of the future “because today is the beginning of the next 200 years.” WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com GRADE from page 1 HISTORY Grade 5 students get a blast from Pickering’s past Learn English.

Juanna Suraganan, Saint Elizabeth Seton Catholic School PICKERING -- Police have released images of three men wanted for an assault on a taxi driver Feb. 19 in Pickering. The driver was beaten when he tried to col- lect the fare for a ride from Toronto, Durham police said. The incident began when the three young men in their 20s -- two of them white, the third of middle Eastern descent -- piled into the cab in Toronto’s entertainment district at about 3 a.m. and directed the driver to Pickering, police said. When the car arrived in the parking lot of a Sobeys store at Brock and Kingston roads, the passengers fled without paying. The driv- er gave chase and was confronted by one suspect, who assaulted him. The other two returned to join in the attack on the driver, police said. All three then ran off. Investigators are appealing to the public to identify the suspects. Call 905-579-1520, extension 2530 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. POLICE Three sought in attack on taxi driver in Pickering P News Advertiser • March 9, 20115 DEVELOPMENT Pickering should grow up To the editor: Re: ‘Heated debate over urbanizing north Pickering’, news, durhamregion.com, Feb. 23, 2011. As I sat and listened to the presentations, I realized that this whole issue is being clouded by emotion. The real issue is not whether these properties should be slated for development, the issue is, is it correct and legal to do so? Our government has always been “top down”. The feds tell the provinces what to do. The provinces tell the regions what to do. The regions tell the cities and towns what to do. The province has already told the Region that the official plan is not in compliance. Pickering needs to comply. It’s that simple. Why are citizens’ scarce tax dollars being redirected to fund this silly court battle? The question is not, ‘Can we take this to the OMB?, the question is, ‘Is it right and in the best interests of our citizens to do so?’ Pickering should stop stamping its foot like an angry toddler and get on with eco- logical and efficient development in the right areas, not on prime farmland. Sharon Powell Ajax FEEDBACK We were all put on this planet for a purpose To the editor: Re: ‘People over animals, every time’ Mike Johnston column, durhamregion.com, Feb. 16 and other replies. I read this column and had quite a differ- ent reaction than one of my fellow readers. ‘People over animals, every time’ is part of the problem. Most friends and family don’t under- stand my passion for animals and the environment, nor do they care to. I don’t disagree that human issues are important but in spite of the organiza- tions that exist to protect animals, it’s still not enough to give a voice to creatures that otherwise have none. With a global population approaching 7 billion, the planet cannot keep up with the demands of human consumption. Some scientists speculate that humans are responsible for the extinction of millions of species due to deforestation, hunting and over-fishing. Animals are used, abused, exploited and eaten every day, all around the world. They almost always take a back seat to human wants and needs that are motivat- ed by greed, money or entertainment. I truly believe that not nearly enough is done to respect and protect the other life forms we inhabit this world with. Human issues are important but they should not always take priority over ani- mal rights. We were all put on this planet for a pur- pose. Serena Schwab Pickering POLITICS MPs should focus on economy, not Oda affair To the editor: Re: Bev Oda controversy. Instead of focusing on the word “not” and the actions of local MP Bev Oda, I find it dismaying that MPs are not focused on reducing unemployment and tackling the massive deficit we face as a result of a dif- ficult economic downturn. For the past few weeks, we’ve heard nothing out of Ottawa except amplified outrage. Polling shows that this issue mat- ters to absolutely nobody outside of the Ottawa bubble. It’s time for MPs, who have now returned to the House of Commons, to focus on the economy, job creation and improving infrastructure, not on a tiny word inserted in a document.

A notice of motion brought forth by Trustee Mary Ann Martin at a meeting Feb. 28 alleges that a fellow trustee was not a Catholic when serving as a school community council leader, and had not been directing her property taxes to the Catholic school board, in contravention of Durham Catholic District School Board policy. And while the board’s misguided reluc- tance to identify the person against whom the allegations are made only raises ques- tions, newly elected Trustee Theresa Corl- iss is consulting legal counsel in response to the notice of motion and noted this week it “has absolutely no substance and no merit ...” Based on the reaction by Trustee Corl- iss, and in the absence of detail in Trustee Martin’s motion (brought to the floor in a public meeting, it should be noted) Cath- olic board ratepayers and everyday citi- zens can draw their own conclusions. Frankly, the tactics used and the clum- sy handling of the issue detracts from the seriousness of the allegations and, in fact, serves only to raise doubts. By refusing to identify the individual, Trustee Martin leaves it an open question. Is it this trustee? That one? The only person who can adequately address that open question is the author of the motion. Whether or not the allegations are true, the board does its ratepayers a disservice with this bland, amorphous motion. And the tone seems one of petty politics that will only turn ratepayers off. In the simplest terms, this issue so far has been poorly and insensitively han- dled by people who should have the expe- rience and wisdom to know -- and do -- better. It is important for the Catholic board to be assured its elected representatives fully invest themselves in the faith and embrace the teachings in Durham Region schools. But to cast such serious aspersions, and so broadly in the absence of the person’s identity, is wrong. This entire issue could have been han- dled more professionally, more tactfully, and without the apparent politicking. The DCDSB can surely do better. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 9, 2011What would you do with $1,000 in $20 bills? COREY WILLOUGHBY -- ‘Go and spend it at the mall.’ COREY TIDD -- ‘I would go to the bar.’ ZACH MURRAY -- ‘Get some new guitar equipment.’ BILL DALLAWAY -- ‘Give it to my wife to put in the bank.’ WE ASKED... ...AT PICKERING PUBLIC LIBRARY’S MAIN BRANCH I know that, at 50, it’s a little late in the game to be bringing this up, but...I’d really like a mentor. Most people, if they’re lucky enough to find one, glom onto a mentor in their early to mid-20s; that critically developmen- tal period when they are at their most pli- able and eager for instruction and emula- tion. One would normally suppose that a man at the mid-point of his life, having had a half-century to get it figured out, would be well beyond the point of requiring fur- ther instruction. Indeed, might himself be a mentor. Alas, I find I am not there yet. Not any- where close, frankly. I was able to teach my kids how to ride a bike, skate and do a decent spit-take...but now I’m completely tapped. Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe the dull, monotonous gray of a dying winter has me sliding into a slush-pile of melancholic introspection and navel gazing. Maybe my vitamin D count is low. Maybe the wood stove is just burning too hot and I’m writing in an oxygen-poor environment. Whatever the reason, I find myself long- ing, lately, to sit at the feet of someone wiser than me. I feel like I could spend a long time just listening. I read, of course, and God knows, there’s no shortage of printed wisdom around. But a mentor is more than that. A book, no matter how comprehen- sive, is still a one-sided conversation. And a book does not watch me as I read it, silently scanning my visage for tell-tale signs of misunderstanding, puzzlement or revelation, taking those as a cue for further discussion and edification. In Greek mythology ‘mentor’ was not just a noun, but a real guy. Well, as real as a guy in a myth can be. Chosen as the teacher and protector of Odysseus’s son Telemachus, he was like a Toga-wearing combination of Wayne Dyer and Arnold Schwarzenegger. A Terminator who could speak in full sen- tences. A teacher and a protector. Which of us couldn’t use both of those now and again? After all, doesn’t it always seem that at those times when you’re most in need of some wisdom, you’re also feeling most vul- nerable? I don’t know what happened to all of the mentors. Seems to me there used to be a lot more of them around. Or maybe it’s just that when you’re young, people feel more inclined to offer up advice...and the older we get the less inclined we are to ask for it. The problem, too, is that there is a fine line between mentor and know-it-all. Mentors lead by example, know-it-alls lead with their mouths. There’s never any shortage of know-it- alls around. It would be nice if there were some sort of mentor placement agency. Some bureau or government office where I could fill out an application and get properly matched up. You know, kind of like a Mensa meets LavaLife meets Dead Poet’s Society. “Yeah, I’m looking for a Walt Whitman- Ralph Waldo Emerson type with a dash of Deepak Chopra...anyone like that avail- able?” “Ooooh, that’s a tall order. We’ve had a bit of a rush on here, lately. Lotta folks needing help. I’ve got a Walt Disney-Where’s Waldo type with a dash of Pee Wee Herman...How does that sound?” Thanks anyway. I think I’ll keep looking. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. It’s never too late to find a good mentor NEIL CRONE SABRINA BYRNES/ BEHIND THE LENS This photo was taken at the end of January last year, and I liked it because it’s one of those photos where you can really tell what’s going on without the caption. The road was flooded and the pair seen in the bottom left off the frame was obviously contemplat- ing how to get across. Pants rolled up and shoes in their hands, they stood their eyeing the opposite side of the road. I liked this picture because of their shoes in their hands, you could pretty much guess what was going through their minds. My next frame was them splashing to the other side of the road. To the editor: Due to the recent good fortunes of GM, Ken Lewenza, president of the CAW, feels that the workers he represents should be paid additional money as part of an un- negotiated profit-sharing bonus. His comments, including, “Now that GM’s balance sheet is starting to improve, we expect that our members benefit from this recovery,” demonstrates his myopic view of our economy, not to mention con- tempt for taxpayers. The true payoff for the CAW member- ship is that they still have jobs, unlike so many other Canadians who are out of work due to factory closures and jobs moving to developing countries with lower labour costs. Based on the taxpay- er-funded bailout of $9 billion, the cost to the taxpayers, according to some reports, is $2 million for each saved autoworker job. Is this money well spent? This isn’t the venue to debate the merits of the bailout. But just don’t stand there with your hand out. It’s embarrassing to both you and your members. Kelly Dirken. Whitby CULTURE Be glad you live here... To the editor: Enough is enough. And I’m sure I’m speaking for the majority of Canadians. Immigrants from all countries, skin colours, and sexual orientations have come together to claim Canada as home. We have become one, but some cannot accept this. Over two years ago, a man and two women, while waiting to pick up their children from school, got into an argu- ment. It escalated into a physical confron- tation, and from that, a criminal trial. The man was black and women lesbian. The decision handed down by the judge in the case was that the man was guilty of assault. So be it. Let it go. But no; accord- ing to one of the women, it was in her words “a victory in some way for the gay community”. If the man had won, would it be a victo- ry for the black community? If they were all white and heterosexual, would it be a victory for women over men? Let it go. This is Canada. Be glad you don’t live on the other side of the world. Enough is enough.

REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Small- and medium-sized busi- nesses looking to set up shop or expand in Ajax could find it simpler to do so after the establishment of a new VIP program that will help them with their planning needs. The PriorityPath program, official- ly launched on March 1, is for businesses that might not be familiar with the site plan approval process, said Lisa Hausz, Ajax’s manager of business development and mar- keting. Ms. Hausz said the program could help businesses looking to put down roots in Ajax or existing ones looking to expand. Often, business owners need a little help navigating through bureaucracy, she said. “It’s not their core function to deal with the regulations or paperwork,” said Ms. Hausz, pointing out that developers or large busi- nesses have people on staff to deal with that sort of thing. The process is modeled on the Town’s film liaison program where people contacting the Town won’t be bounced between depart- ments. “We have one contact for the customer and we do all the chasing and answer all the ques- tions.” Ms. Hausz said businesses often see munic- ipal processes as red tape, but Ajax is subject to provincial laws including planning laws and the Municipal Act. “Certain things we absolutely have to do and it’s a matter of explaining things in terms businesses understand and making it a smooth process,” she said. As an example of the type of company that might benefit, Ms. Hausz cited renovations in the building housing SureFit. She said the Town bounced ideas off company president Stephen Barry when developing the Priority- Path program. Recently, Mayor Steve Parish spoke about the need for the program at the Ajax-Picker- ing Board of Trade’s annual Mayors’ Break- fast. “We all know excess government red tape and delay is one of the frustrations small businesses encounter,” he said.

One of those benefits is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its mark in the area is that of Japanese food. One of the best examples of Japanese food restaurants in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with locations in Ajax (opened in 2006) and Pickering (opened in 2008). Updated recently with a more modern style, Makimono Pickering maintains an ambience that appeals to the younger crowd as well as families and more mature customers. What’s more, the sushi bar has been replaced with a more modern one. Yet their menu still offers a variety of raw and cooked dishes including such favorites as Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. And as many of their staff has lived in Japan, they bring an authentic Japanese style of cooking to every dish prepared. Makimono Pickering and Ajax both offer All-You-Can Eat and a-la-carte dining, take-out, delivery and party trays. Maki- mono Pickering can accommodate groups of up to 60 people and functions for up to 130 people. Both Durham Region locations of Makimono are open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 10:30pm. Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30am to 11pm and Sundays Noon to 10:30pm. All-You-Can-Eat lunches start at $13.99 per adult while All- You-Can-Eat dinners are $20.99 per adult. Some restrictions apply. Visit www.makimono.ca or one of their locations for details. And what’s more; in November Makimono opened a new restaurant in Oshawa called Kakimono. Located at 1300 Har- mony Road North on the south-west corner of Harmony and Taunton Roads, Kakemono features All-You-Can-Eat Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. Kakemono offers a real taste of Japan for lunch or dinner! Makimono Ajax is located at 50 Kingston Road East (Rio- Can Durham Centre), just east of Harwood Avenue (905-427- 2726) while their newly renovated Pickering location is at 1790 Liverpool Road on the west side between the 401 and Kingston Road (905-831-0355).

News Advertiser THE Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 9, 201117 AP LOSSA HOCKEY St. Mary back to OFSAA RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- St. Mary Monarchs players and coaches celebrated their victory over the Paul Dwyer Saints in the final game in the best-of- three LOSSA boys’ hockey finals. The Monarchs beat the Saints 2-1 on a late third-period goal. Senior boys’ hockey team wins Quad-A final over Paul Dwyer in final game BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The LOSSA Quad-A senior boys’ hockey championship was decided the way it should have been. The two best teams, playing in the deciding game of a best-of-three series, with the winner undecided until the final minutes of the third period. In the end, it was the St. Mary Monarchs of Pickering who prevailed over the Paul Dwyer Saints of Oshawa, with the winning goal of a 2-1 final coming with just 3:26 left in regulation time on Monday afternoon at Don Beer Arena in Pickering. The win earns St. Mary a trip to the OFSAA championships March 22-25 in Toronto. After Paul Dwyer opened the series with a double overtime 4-3 win, only to have St. Mary come back to even things up with a 5-0 blowout in game two, the LOSSA title came down to the last game, the last period and virtually the last shot. “We knew it was going to be a tighter game than Friday,” said St. Mary head coach Mike Dion. “Our goalie held us in, we got a couple of breaks in our zone and we capitalized when we got our chances.” A neutral zone turnover led to the winning goal, as St. Mary’s Sean Power corralled a loose puck, swung wide into the Paul Dwyer zone, and fed an open Brandon Robinson with a pass in the slot. Robinson moved in, deking Paul Dwyer goalie Steven Shirley and depositing a back- hander into the open net for the winner. Paul Dwyer pushed hard in the final minutes and had some pressure, but couldn’t beat St. Mary netminder Stefan Lamanna. Though they didn’t win, Paul Dwyer coach Mike Drake said his team played well and exe- cuted the game plan. “The second game we got smoked 5-0 because we were playing at home, we were overconfident and thought we had it in the bag. We talked a lot after that game about getting back to the game plan. “Looking at the standings all season long, we knew at some point we were going to come head-to-head and it was going to be a good series.” Both teams finished on top of their respec- tive divisions undefeated, but didn’t meet until the final. St. Mary lost the opening game to Pickering in the semifinal and the opening game of the final to Paul Dwyer, who lost just twice all season in LOSSA play. Unfortunately for them, it was the last two games they played against St. Mary in the final. Paul Dwyer opened the scoring in Monday’s deciding game when Gabe Burnside and Eric Kimmerly worked together to convert a two-on- one in the first period. St. Mary tied the game late in the second when Corrado Cammisuli gained control of a loose puck in front and scored with a quick release. The opening goal by Paul Dwyer seemed to spark St. Mary, said Dion. “We seemed to really improve our play after that goal,” he said. “That seemed to be the cata- lyst of what the guys needed.” At last year’s OFSAA, St. Mary earned the bronze medal. They will be looking for more this time. “We have young guys who have been there, but they weren’t contributors,” said Dion of the return trip to face the best teams in the province. “We have a really young team, they’re excited. Hopefully we’ll be a three or four seed. We’ll see how it goes and bring it every game down there.” CURLING Bevan’s last rock leads Annandale team to gold HALIFAX -- Whitby’s Ben Bevan skipped his Annandale Curling Club rink to a gold medal at the Canada Winter Games in Halifax. Bevan was joined by vice Carter Adair, second Corey Gaudette and lead Jake McGhee at the Games, which ran from Feb. 11-27 and fea- tured more than 6,000 young athletes competing in 20 different sports. The Ontario team lost only one game at the tournament, in the round robin, which left them tied with Mani- toba in Pool B. New Brunswick and Saskatchewan were tied in Pool A with the same 4-1 record. After a 5-2 win over New Bruns- wick in the semifinal, Bevan led the team to a nail-biting 6-5 win over Saskatchewan on the last rock, giving Ontario gold. The team of 17 year olds, coached by Jennifer McGhee, quali- fied by winning the gold medal last March at the Ontario Winter Games held in Gravenhurst. Adair and Bevan began their curl- ing nine years ago at the Whitby Curl- ing Club in the Little Rockers league. Gaudette curls out of Cobourg Curling Club, and Jake McGhee out of Annan- dale, in Ajax. Ontario defended its Canada Games Flag with 312 points, 11 ahead of Quebec. Quebec won the medal count, however, with 137 to Ontario’s 110. GOLF Scobie finishes first at World Golf Tour event in Miami AJAX -- Ajax resident Matthew Sco- bie, 15, travelled to Miami over U.S. Presidents Day Weekend to compete in his first Future Collegiate World Golf Tour event at Doral Golf Resort. Trailing after the first round, Sco- bie grabbed the lead in round two and never looked back completing the three day event with a resounding 11-shot victory. Scobie led the field in both pars and birdies for the week. The Ajax High School student hopes to parlay his success on the links into a U.S. golf scholarship upon gradu- ation and added, “Hopefully at a school where it is hot year round.” Earlier, Scobie also received an Ontario Order of Merit award from the Golf Association of Ontario for his play during the 2010 season. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 9, 201118 AP MARCH M A D N E S S CANADIAN S T Y L E ! ! ! 2011 CCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MARCH 17-19 AT DURHAM COLLEGE Gold Medal Game is on Saturday at 8 pm • www.ccaamensbasketball2011.ca Tickets available at the event or ticketmaster.ca MARCH 9, 2011 Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

But somewhere deep down, there is a nagging feeling of what might have been. Opening the best-of-five series with two games in Whitby against the Wolves, the Lightning stole game one with a 1-0 shutout, and came within a shootout goal of winning the second game, falling 3-2. “We all would have said prior to the weekend it would be great to come out of here with a split,” McDonald conceded. “But, when you win that first game...” he added, his voice trailing off to ponder what might have been. A Megan Kirkham goal on assists from Kaitlyn Mullett and Sara- Jane Pratt just 1:15 into the sec- ond period of the series opener on Saturday stood up as the winner. Jackie Rochefort stood her ground in goal, stopping all 20 shots she faced, while the Lightning totalled 23 on the night. The second game on Sunday fea- tured more goals, with the teams trading markers in the first and second periods. Rebecca Ruther- ford opened the scoring early in the first, but the lead lasted just 44 seconds as Whitby scored to tie the game. Whitby took the lead in the second, but Carly March- ment tied things up for the Light- ning. A scoreless third period and overtime forced a shootout, with Whitby scoring twice on Chan- tal Bicket, while Marissa Maugeri and Kaitlyn Mullett were stopped. “I knew Whitby would come out strong in the second game and Whitby probably deserved to win the second game,” said McDon- ald. “With that said, we had our opportunities. When you go to a shootout, anything can happen.” One of those opportunities was lost early in the third when the Lightning started the period on a five minute power play after Whitby’s Lindsey West received a major for checking from behind. Still, a playoff split is a good start, and if it was still the regular sea- son, it would have been a really productive weekend. “We played two good games,” said McDonald. “Without the shootout, we would have got three out of four points. When you play a top-five team, we would have loved those results.” Whitby coach Gary Soper feels the series is unfolding just the way he envisioned it. “Both teams are scratching and clawing for every inch of ice,” said Soper. “It’s like we all thought, it’s going to be a very good series. They work hard, they battle for everything. Our girls, we have a lot of first year players and I’m sure they were a bit nervous going into their first playoff game, so it was nice to get that first win under their belts.” The series now shifts to the Ajax Community Centre for games three and four, beginning Friday at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. With little travel between the two centres, McDonald doesn’t view home ice as being too big of an advantage. “Because we are geographical- ly so close, I don’t believe there is any home ice advantage. Having said that, we are coming home. Whitby is going to come out real strong and we are going to have to counter that with being strong as well.” If a fifth and deciding game is necessary in the series it will be played in Whitby on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Whitby earned the advantage after finishing fifth this season, while the Lightning were 12th. with files from Brian McNair RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND WHITBY -- Durham West Lightning player Megan Kirkham, right, tried to catch up to Whitby Wolves player Vicky Pittens as they raced for the puck during the first game of their playoff series. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 9, 201119 AP ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE Generals striving for East Division title Six games left before playoffs BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It’s hard to get a gauge on whether the Oshawa Generals are playing the type of hockey that will lead to success once the playoffs get underway in about two week’s time. On the one hand, the Generals have just lost three games in a row for the first time all season, and only snapped that streak with a less-than-stellar 5-4 win over the Belleville Bulls Sunday afternoon at the General Motors Centre. On the other hand, the Gener- als have picked up points in nine of their past 10 games, the lone exception being a 4-3 loss at home Saturday night to the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, the Ontario Hockey League’s best team. Prior to that, it was a pair of shootout losses, including to the Owen Sound Attack, the league’s second best team, and the Kings- ton Frontenacs, the most likely first round playoff opponent. Chris DePiero, the team’s head coach and general manager, often cites the fact his team is relative- ly inexperienced, with 15 players in their first or second year in the league. But, for the most part, he likes what he sees, and thinks his team will do fine once the real games begin, mostly because of the resil- ience shown to date. “Nobody’s told them they can’t win, so they’re going out and try- ing to create wins, and that’s what counts,” he said after Sunday’s game, played before a crowd of 5,812. “That’s why I’m not con- cerned because I think we’ve demonstrated that we’ve been able to grind teams out, we’ve able to compete hard physically, so that’s not a concern of mine.” Playing a Belleville team in a desperate fight with the Peter- borough Petes for the final play- off spot in the Eastern Confer- ence, the Generals jumped out to a 3-1 first-period lead Sunday and led 5-2 early in the third, only to let the Bulls make it interesting in the end. “There are little things we need to get better at,” said DePiero, admitting he wasn’t pleased with the third period. “I think we have to understand in the bigger pic- ture, seeing Belleville in the third period and how desperate they played, they took the game to us. It’s something our young guys have to understand and learn about.” Among the veterans who led the way Sunday were two play- ers added via trades this season to provide exactly that: leadership. Goalie Peter Di Salvo made his 10th straight start and appeared in his 17th consecutive game, although it was only because Kevin Bailie had taken ill that day. As usual, he played well enough to win, making 30 saves and hold- ing onto a one-goal lead through the final 5:51. Daniel Maggio, meanwhile, opened the scoring just 1:22 into the game, added an assist, was a plus-three and played his typi- cal hard-nosed brand of hockey, along with defence partner Scott Valentine. With six games remaining, including one against the Ottawa 67’s March 18, the Generals still have their sights set on first place in the East Division. They are cur- rently five points back of Ottawa, but with a game in hand. The Generals’ next four games are all on the road, beginning with a rematch against the Bulls Wednesday in Belleville. They close out with home games March 19 against Brampton and March 20 against Peterborough.

Ed Buffett, in his 68th year is survived by his adored wife Nadera and their precious and magical daughters Tedi and Sami. Ed is lovingly remembered by his daughter Sarah Cook and her husband Rick. He was predeceased by his parents Claude and Kezia and by his sister Marilyn Foti. Ed is remembered by his brother-in-law Andy Foti and his children, Joe Foti & his wife Wendy and their children Jacob & Madeline; Jeff Foti & his partner Anne Marie and Karen Timmerman & her husband Craig and their son David. Sadly missed by his sister in law Joyce Persaud and her husband David Horton and their children Macy, Lola and Oscar. True to his spirit and love of life, Ed lived his life ensuring he enjoyed every day to the fullest. He enjoyed so many passions…his family, his career, music, golf, football and travel. Ed, Nadera, Tedi and Sami created a second home in Cape Breton Island and he will be remembered fondly by all his friends and neighbours in Ingonish. Ed Buffett was founder of Buffett Taylor & Associates and President and CEO of Buffett & Company Worksite Wellness Inc. He will be gravely missed by his colleagues who he considered a part of his extended family. Ed has chaired the boards of numerous not-for-proﬁ t organizations, the Whitby General Hospital, the Board of Governors at McMaster University, the Ajax-Whitby Heart & Stroke Foundation, the Whitby Chapter of the Oshawa-Whitby United Way Campaign and the Durham Community Foundation. He has contributed to campaigns at McMaster University, and has established scholarships for medical students as well as the Buffett & Company Chair in Breast Cancer Research at the University.
