Despite the rain and ice, a number of resi- dents braved the trail at Pickering Museum Village on March 16 to get a taste of what it was like to be a pioneer settling in Pickering more than 200 years ago. Mandy Smiles, event and volunteer pro- grammer, was impressed with the good turnout, especially considering the rainy day. Last year, the event fell on a day that was 18 C and sunny. But she pointed out the uncontrollable weather conditions give vis- itors a glimpse of life in the pioneer times. “It’s really to give visitors a chance to see what it was like when they first arrived,” she said.

Mariame Jaii and Terence Chiri welcomed their daughter Jadzia India Chiri on March 13, 2010 in the bathroom of their hotel room near the city of Trivandrum in the state of Kerala. “We chose India because everything was in its natural element and everything was more affordable,” said Mr. Chiri. “It was hot and really sunny, it was perfect for her; she felt good.” He explains the couple became vegetarians a couple of years ago and they wanted Ms. Jaii to enjoy only organic, in- season fruits and vegetables as they prepared to give birth. They left for India in mid-October 2009 and were there until mid-September 2010, when they returned to Ajax. Ms. Jaii explained she had a previous pregnancy where she took a traditional route and it ended in a miscarriage. “This time I decided to do it my way, completely natural,” she said. She watched the documentary ‘The Business of Being Born’ and said she was confident a natural birth was the way to go. “Women have been birthing for eons and I was confident in my body’s ability to be able to give birth naturally.” Both Mr. Chiri and Ms. Jaii are avid travellers and a previ- ous trip included spending three months in South America studying with shamans. Before arriving in India, they visited Egypt to absorb the spirituality from ancient sites and then later went on a pilgrimage in southern India that pregnant women often make. Once settled in Kerala, the couple would go to the market regularly to prepare fresh meals and they both relaxed by the seaside in the warm and sunny weather. Ms. Jaii said she went into labour just after 3 a.m. and it felt like mild cramping, then it got stronger and her water broke. The couple had downloaded information on giving birth onto their laptop and they referred to that as Mr. Chiri pre- pared to deliver the baby, checking for dilation and the time between contractions. “It barely hurt because I was only focusing on the breath- ing. I was in a trance where two hours went by and it felt like 10 minutes,” said Ms. Jaii. Following advice from the documentary, Ms. Jaii gave birth standing up to allow gravity to help. Mr. Chiri said he was not nervous about the delivery. “My only concern was making sure I caught the baby.” The delivery took about nine hours and at the end, the couple welcomed a healthy baby girl. In fact, the neighbours called the local 911-type service and police and medical services arrived after Ms. Jaii had given birth. Mr. Chiri said the doctors inspected the baby and mom and gave them both a clean bill of health and their story drew local atten- tion. “They called the press and there was news coverage about the whole thing,” said Mr. Chiri. “We were the first couple that had done that in the area.” They weighed the baby on a fruit scale at a local market. She was three kilograms or six and a half pounds. “She was eligible to become an Indian citizen, but we didn’t want to go through the red tape,” said Mr. Chiri, adding that getting a birth certificate took some time because of the unas- sisted birth. Ms. Jai said she astonished the locals with her quick recovery from birth as in India it is a tradition for women to remain secluded afterwards, resting, and meanwhile she was wading into the ocean the day after she gave birth. In fact, Ms. Jaii said she felt energized and credits her natural lifestyle. “I didn’t have any stretch marks or any- thing due to the preparation I did, I drank lots and lots of water,” she said, adding the mainly raw vegetarian diet was crucial as well. She said going abroad also meant that there was less stress and she could focus on the natural pro- cess. The couple is working on starting a consulting company called Womb Temperature to help others give birth naturally. Meanwhile, Jadzia is a sweet-tempered little girl with an easy smile and she was instantly adored by their family and friends when the couple arrived back in Canada. In fact, some of their friends, who did not know Ms. Jaii was pregnant, were surprised she came back from travelling with a baby. Jadzia’s parents plan to continue to have globe-trotting adventures, albeit those appropriate for a child. “She doesn’t know it but she’s already beginning to be a world traveller,” said Mr. Chiri. CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND AJAX -- Jadzia India Chiri was all smiles on March 11 as she held tight to her dad, Terence Chiri. With her was mom Mariame Jaii. Ms. Jaii gave birth to Jadzia in India a year ago by natural methods. from the producers of THE BACKYARDIGANS www.MaxAndRubyOnTour.com 1 of 3 chances to win a family pack of tickets to the showand a meet and greet!

The museum volunteers toughed out the rain and played various roles throughout the day, such as the women of the village cooking and offering baked beans to the hikers and telling of life at the time. “You can imagine, ladies, how difficult it is to keep house out here,” Julie Oakes, one of the pioneers, told a group of visi- tors. The women had to cook, clean, sew and welcome and host newcomers in the area. They also had to worry about wash- ing the laundry, especially baby diapers, which could prove to be difficult in rainy weather. “It’s not like you could go down to the laundry room and dry them,” Ms. Smiles said. Aine Walsh, 12, was interested in how different life was back in the 1800s. “I learned it’s very hard for women,” she said. A few of the young female pioneers sat under a piece of canvas held up by branches, called a “lean-to,” which would keep the women and children dry. The next step was to build a shanty and eventually a log house. New this year, the adults and children were also treated to snowshoeing activi- ty, as well as a compass game where they had to find silhouettes of chickadees, blue jays, cardinals, owls, hawks and Downy woodpeckers. A member from the Pickering Natural- ists was on hand to talk about the native birds. “Even for the city kids, this is some- thing that’s different,” Ms. Smiles said. The trail included plenty of trivia and facts about living in Pickering more than 200 years ago and hikers also got to meet some of the men in the village who were sawing a log. When the men asked for help, Colleen McLeod volunteered along with some of the other members of her group. She said the saw was “very sticky” and she learned “not to take for granted the comforts of home, that’s for sure.” Amy McLaughlin, 11, had similar thoughts. She said she could be a pio- neer if she had to, but much preferred the luxuries she’s used to now. Settler Trail is one of many events to take place throughout Pickering’s bicen- tennial year, thanks to the staff and near- ly 300 volunteers.

ONLY BREAKING NEWS 24/7 >> Realistic-looking guns turning up in Durham crimes spark police concerns JENNIFER O’MEARA jomeara@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Police are concerned about the increasing number of Durham crimes com- mitted with starter pistols that look like real guns. “To someone staring down the barrel of a gun, you’d never assume it was anything other than a real firearm,” said Durham police Chief Mike Ewles. “For all intents and purposes, an officer on the site would have no idea these weren’t real.” Over the past two weeks, Durham offi- cers have seized four starter pistols -- one of which appeared to have been converted to fire real bullets -- that had been used or were intended for use in crimes. The starter pistols can be used in any crime of intimida- tion, according to the police chief. “One was found in the back seat of a vehi- cle, fully loaded,” said Chief Ewles. “We’ve done a lot to reduce the flow of illegal fire- arms. Now they’re resorting to these fakes.” The pistols seized look like semi-automat- ic pistols and a 38 snub-nosed revolver. The semi-automatic starter pistols fire 9mm blank bullets, which slide in a clip that works just like a regular firearm. “I used to carry a 38 (the old police issued gun) and you can’t tell the difference, even with my experience,” said Chief Ewles. “These are real weight.” Inside the barrel is a small blockage, and the starter pistols only fire blanks. Chief Ewles said he is concerned that just by removing the blockage, anyone could create a working gun. The force has sent a starter pistol with the blockage out to be tested for firing. It’s expected to take a few weeks for the results. “We’re very concerned these things can be modified and used,” said Chief Ewles. The realistic starter guns are legal for “liter- ally anyone” to buy, sell and own. If it is used for a criminal purpose, then the starter pistol is considered a weapon by the courts. “In a split second decision when people’s lives are in jeopardy, they’re not going to be able to look down in the barrel (and see the blockage),” said Chief Ewles. ”If this was in the hands of a youngster, a teenager, who had purchased it -- this could pose a real threat for officer safety and community safe- ty.” In 2006, Durham police championed a successful replica handgun bylaw which controlled the sale and possession of replica guns in parts of the region. Chief Ewles said he’d like to see similar legislation for the starter pistols. The local police force wants to work with local politi- cians to lobby higher levels of government to restrict the sale and distribution of these real-looking starter pistols. “We need to invoke all levels of govern- ment to take a look at how these are pur- chased and sold,” said Chief Ewles, who said the sale of the pistols should be confined to firearm stores or sporting good stores. “There’s certainly no need to start a race with a semi-automatic... I have no idea what you would ever use that for, except a weap- on.” Durham Region’s Premier Banquet Facility InvitesYouTo Attend Our....

Police are still trying to determine if the Markham man jumped or fell from the vehicle, a white GMC van, as it travelled in the eastbound collector lanes just east of Rougemount Drive short- ly before 2 p.m., said OPP Sergeant Dave Woodford. “We haven’t spoken to him yet,” said Sgt. Woodford, as police re-opened the right lane to traffic at about 3 p.m. Traffic in the eastbound col- lector lanes was snarled for a time as several OPP vehicles con- verged on the scene. The right lane was blocked com- pletely and the van from which the man fell was parked partially on the shoulder straddling the white line, hazard lights flashing. The driver of the van stopped the vehi- cle immediately after the incident and tended to the man, Sgt. Woodford said. He was rushed to ambulance by hospi- tal; remarkably, his injuries appeared to be relatively minor, Sgt. Woodford said. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Police were on the scene of an investigation on Hwy. 401 eastbound after a person exited a vehicle on the highway on March 22. POLICE Man falls from vehicle on Hwy. 401 in Pickering POLITICS Building more prisons is not the answer To the editor: When I read the article ‘Julian Fantino talks tough on crime in Durham’, durham- region.com, March 17, 2011, I could hardly believe my eyes. I am surprised that a former chief of police would make such uninformed, ignorant statements about crime preven- tion and the justice system. The recidivism rate (the rate at which people re-offend) in Canada sits around 75 per cent. That means 75 per cent of the time the prison system fails, and 25 per cent of the time it succeeds. Clearly inef- fective. Although prisons can prevent crime and protect the public in the short term, they fail to do so in the long term. Perhaps programming, education, com- munity involvement and resources would be a better long-term preventative strate- gy. Not to mention, it costs taxpayers any- where from $70,000 to $111,000 a year to house a single male offender within our prisons. Interesting how he dismissed the idea that crime rates are decreasing and the system is working and that tougher laws are not needed. The U.S. has five times the crime rate of Canada and operates on being tough on crime. Should that not be a huge indicator that getting tough on crime does not work? Building more prisons as a “crime pre- vention strategy” is absolutely absurd. Amber Lihou Whitby ENERGY We should re-think nuclear power plants To the editor: The genie is sneaking out of the bottle. We’re our own worst enemies -- well, with the help of businesses looking for profit. Japan recently had a magnitude 9 earth- quake, the fifth largest in recorded his- tory. It was the biggest in Japanese his- tory although Japan has had a number of 7-plus, and is one of the most quake-prone countries on earth. Nevertheless, Japan decided to build nuclear power plants. The plant melting down at present was built on the coast and engineered to with- stand a 6.5 quake. Quakes spawn tsunamis, tsunamis over- whelm coastal areas. Quakes break up buildings, particularly if the buildings aren’t engineered to a sufficient degree, as do tsunamis. But not to worry. If all systems fail, we’ll cool the radioactive core with sea water, pumped from and returning to the Japanese current that bathes Alaska, B.C., Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico and the Pacific coast of central America. And now the world faces another humanitarian and environmental disas- ter because profit takers encouraged and financed an under-engineered nuclear plant at sea level on quake-prone land. And guess what? The Pickering nucle- ar power plant sits on an earthquake fault line. Built to withstand a quake of between magnitude 6 and 7, because there had never been a recorded quake in the area over 4. Oops, once the plant was built, the area recorded a magnitude 5 in 2010. And we allowed this all to happen. Maybe we need to acknowledge that we aren’t as clever as we think we are. Maybe we really aren’t capable of pre- dicting what forces within the earth are capable of doing, and maybe we shouldn’t be deliberately exposing ourselves to the horrendous potential of nuclear radiation by building nuclear power plants, particu- larly as we still have no safe means of stor- ing or disposing of the radioactive waste they produce. John T. Hulley Brooklin Editor’s Note: According to Allison Bent, a seismologist for Earthquakes Canada, it’s a misconception that the Pickering nuclear plant sits on a major fault line. She said there may be faults in the area but none is active. Check out our story http://newsdurhamregion.com/ news/pickering/article/173473 A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 23, 20116 AP & Flaherty budget sets stage for return to prosperity Federal finance minister and Whitby- Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty’s budget tabled yesterday brought a vital and timely focus to deficit reduction and fiscal prudence, but it could well be the focus of opposition parties on the federal government’s ethical troubles that lead to a spring election. Mr. Flaherty’s budget is properly aimed at whittling down the massive deficit posted as a consequence of the global recession in 2008 -- and included enough goodies for Jack Layton’s New Democrats to support it -- but the Harper government still faces difficulties in the House over ethical issues that could well trigger a spring vote. The primary focus on deficit reduction must guide the federal government in the coming years, to be sure. And Mr. Flaherty’s planned corporate tax cuts will make Can- ada more attractive to business investment and promote job creation. Those two elemental principles of the budget -- deficit reduction and job cre- ation -- will create a foundation for eco- nomic growth. Given Canada’s relative economic strength in the wake of the global reces- sion, Mr. Flaherty is keen to capitalize -- as he should -- and position the nation to embrace and expedite investment and growth. A retreat from the federal government’s stimulus program introduced at the height of the global recession will have an imme- diate, positive effect on the deficit (reduc- ing it by an estimated 25 per cent this year), and Canada’s stronger fiscal position rela- tive to other nations should dictate termi- nation of the program. Any stimulus going forward on the monetary side can be man- aged by the Bank of Canada. Mr. Flaherty remained true to the talk- ing points offered up in the days and weeks leading up to yesterday’s budget. There are some measures to help buoy Canada’s con- tinuing economic recovery without any big spending initiatives, but it is essentially a stay-the-course blueprint with necessary deficit reduction and job creation targets. Some will take umbrage that no new money is forthcoming for programs, some will lament the stinginess of the govern- ment, and some will embrace the budget’s numbers and aims. But the truth is that this is a budget for the times. It addresses important issues that have an impact on Canada’s econom- ic recovery while keeping a keen eye on budget balances going forward; it provides some important funding initiatives for fed- eral programs and services; and it creates the conditions for a return to prosperity. The government may fall this week and we may well be heading to the polls some time this spring, but this is not an elec- tion that can or should be fought on eco- nomic grounds, certainly not based on this thoughtful, prudent budget. A little sunshine goes a long way. The older I get the more I understand why so many of us bail to warmer climes in the winter months. We truly are, like every other organic thing on this planet, children of the sun. If we don’t get our daily or even weekly dose, we start to wither. These last few weeks of overcast, sullen gray gunk have had me feeling particularly cadav- erous. It’s like wading through a world of cold oatmeal. I have, over the past few years, given serious thought to moving out to the west coast, just to shake things up a little, take in some different scenery. But the socked-in, drizzly, dark winters of Vancouver would have me wanting to open up a vein in very short order. I don’t know how they do it over there. As I write these words, an early spring sun is beaming radiantly through the front window where a pot of hyacinth, daffodils and tulips are positively orgiastic as they drink it in, their petals flying open like too- long shuttered windows. Even the dogs have flopped down into respective pools of brilliant, saffron warmth. I can almost hear their batteries recharging. My mood is no different from theirs, the dogs and the flowers. I’m suddenly feel- ing better about the whole day ... about life in general, my energy levels climbing with the mercury in the thermometer. It occurs to me, as I ponder all this, that what gets most of us through these long, often dark, winters is a kind of artificial sunlight. It doesn’t come from the sky, however. It comes from us. From within us. Every time you smile at someone, every time you pay a compli- ment, every time you do a kindness, every time you positively acknowledge anoth- er human, you are the source of a greatly needed light. Surely you’ve seen this magic at work. Both within and without. Can you recall putting a smile on someone’s face sim- ply by telling them how nice they looked? Do you remember the warmth that spread through your body when someone told you or showed you how special you were, how much you were valued, loved? It’s a pretty neat trick and it doesn’t really take a lot of energy. In fact, it seems to defy the laws of thermodynamics. We’re not supposed to be able to create or destroy energy ... only convert it from one form to another. But it seems to me that whenever I expend a little energy in complimenting or notic- ing something special about someone, the person on the receiving end lights up with a lot more wattage than I felt I’d brought to the equation. I’m always tickled when I can do that, and always a little chagrined that I don’t do it more often. Of course, if you’d rather throw darkness around, you can make that your business too. And some people get very good at it. One of the wonderful things that makes human beings unique is our ability to choose in every situation. In the realm of light, of energy, of human interaction, we can decide to leave every person we encounter either lesser, the same or great- er than when we met them. I don’t know about you but if the only thing said about me after I’m gone was ‘He always made me feel a little better for talk- ing to him’ ... I could die with a sunny smile on my face. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 23, 2011What is the best advice you can offer your children?

I just like the some- what comical elements of the photo as they all came togeth- er. PR guy, meet the big, bad wolf Pre-election grip ‘n’ grins test patience of editors While Stephen Harper says he has no appetite for a spring election, my inbox tells me otherwise. We get inundated every day with press releases that run the gamut from business and product announcements, to events, fundraisers, government spending, legal decisions and much more. Election warning bells go off when we receive a steady stream of what we call grip ‘n’ grin photo ops. In this case, a member of Parliament checking out the renovations at the local art gallery, or taking a gander at local road construction products, or visiting the local university or college. Your infrastructure dollars hard at work. There is no funding announcement to be made, no ‘news’, just a politician out for a spring walk, posing for the cameras with a big grin. It’s an age-old public relations ploy aimed at getting the candidate some positive play in the media. From a news standpoint, the photos are ultimately bor- ing and there’s no story there. But it’s a cat and mouse game. Edi- tors don’t want to miss out on a possible announcement, so they ask the PR guys what’s happening at the event in order to determine whether to deploy resources. The PR guys, ever wary of the sneaky edi- tor, won’t confirm or deny the purpose, which leaves the editor in a tough spot. Enter a cocky little boy and a big, bad wolf. How many times do you think the edi- tor needs to waste expensive resources on non-events before he decides the PR guy has cried wolf once too often -- and chooses to skip these events? The answer is: right about now. We’ll no doubt be watching the politi- cal dance in the coming next weeks, and looking forward to press releases of sub- stance and candidates answering the questions the electorate really care about.

April4 SpecialCouncilMeeting 7:30pm CityHall-Councilchambers durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 23, 201110 AP RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND WHITBY -- A section of Hwy. 7 between Ashburn Road and Cochrane Street will be widened to accommodate the Hwy. 407 underpass being built in the area. Widening to be completed by 2012 DON CAMPBELL dcampbell@durhamregion.com BROOKLIN -- Winter may be coming to an end, but con- struction season is just beginning on a project to widen a local highway. The $64-million project includes widening Hwy. 7 from two to four lanes, culvert replacements, a new car pool parking area and the installation of the 407 underpass before the end of 2012. The stretch of Hwy. 7 before Brock Road has become the unofficial extension of Hwy. 407 in recent years. According to a Ministry of Transportation (MTO) traffic study completed in 2008, about 16,000 vehicles daily travel both ways along that section of road. Local residents have noticed a slightly longer than usual commute, but most admit it hasn’t been an inconvenience. They do expect congestion to increase once construction season begins. Kirstine Lyons, who carpools with her husband to work in Mississauga, said traffic is moving slower where some work has already started. “It’s slower than usual where concrete barriers on the shoul- der have gone up,” she noted. “The closer it is to the road the slower everyone is driving, but otherwise it hasn’t been that bad.” However, she does take “the back roads” on her way home in order to avoid the bottleneck at Brock Road where Hwy. 407 ends. She has noticed more traffic along the east-west arterial roads running north of Hwy. 7, including Columbus Road and Concession 7. “You can see the potholes because it’s get- ting a lot more use,” she added. In total, 22 culverts including 14 major concrete culverts will be replaced to improve water flow and fish and wildlife passage, according to officials from the Ministry of Transpor- tation. It also calls for the construction of a 158-vehicle capacity carpool lot near Halls Road on the north side of Hwy. 7, which will be the location of the future off-ramp connecting the 407 to the 401. The road widening is being done along a 12-kilometre stretch from Brock Road in Pickering to Hwy. 12 in Brooklin. While there was no time line provided on when certain sec- tions of the highway will be worked on, MTO officials said they will have information ready for commuters before work begins. “Any significant delays will be posted on the MTO’s trip website or through the toll-free number,” said Astrid Poei, central region communications coordinator for the MTO. “The contract calls for no lane closures during peak periods in the morning or afternoon,” that may cause periodic delays, she said. One lane may be closed intermittently by construction crews from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. and there may also be lane closures when crews make chang- es to the lane markers and shoulder width, said Ms. Poei. Crews will already be working on a section of Hwy. 7 from Baldwin Street in Brooklin to Brock Road starting March 14, with westbound lanes closed during non-peak hours and overnight. Dan Weiromiej, who commutes from Whitby to Vaughan every day for work, said he hasn’t noticed a major difference in his commute yet, but anticipates it will pick up once con- struction starts over the next couple months. “The expansion will probably cause a few headaches at first, but hopefully it will improve the commute over the long term,” he said. For road closure information and expected delays caused by construction visit the Ministry of Transportation’s web- site at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/trip/ and click on the Greater Toronto Area link or by calling 1-800-268- 4686.

News Advertiser THE Durham West out in quarterfinals BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It wasn’t the way they wanted it to finish, but in the end, the Durham West Junior Lightning had nothing to be ashamed of. Having already pulled off one playoff upset in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League elimina- tion round, the Lightning couldn’t pull off the daily double in the quarter-finals, bowing out in three straight games to the # 1-ranked Mississauga Chiefs. After getting doubled 4-2 in the opener of the best-of-five series, the Lightning lost both weekend games, blanked 4-0 in Mississauga on Saturday, but pushing Game 3 on home ice Sunday afternoon to overtime before falling 4-3 at the Ajax Community Centre. “The girls did very well. We’re pleased,” said head coach Wayne McDonald of his team’s perfor- mance. “Yeah, it’s definitely dis- appointing, but when you look back on it, Mississauga is what it is. They deserved to be there and now we know where we have to get to.” McDonald recapped the series by noting his team had a 2-1 lead a minute into the third period of Game 1 before Mississauga rallied with three unanswered to win 4-2. The second game was a lot closer than the 4-0 score would indicate, he said, and the third game went to overtime, with Mississauga scoring on the first shot by either team in the extra period. A turn- over in the defensive zone left a Mississauga player alone in front, scoring the winner just 39 sec- onds into overtime. “Because of the skill level of (Mississauga) you can’t make mistakes,” said McDonald. “They worked hard and we kept coming back. In a three out of five series, generally the better team wins. They are the better team.” Megan Kirkham, Rebecca Rutherford and Shannon Stewart scored in Sunday’s loss, while Vic- toria MacDonald had two assists. The Lightning, seeded 12th heading into the playoffs, ousted the fifth seed from Whitby in four games in the opening round of playoffs. But Mississauga came in seeded first, having lost just three times in 36 regular season games this season. Ironically, the first team to beat Mississauga this sea- son was the Lightning. It’s a long way from where the team was a season ago, finishing last in the league with a 2-32-0- 0 record, nine points back of the 17th-place team. This season, they climbed to 12th with a mark of 15-15-2-2. “I’m thrilled to death with what they accomplished this year,” said McDonald. “One of the main things we wanted to accomplish as a group was to get a level of respect. That’s what I think we accomplished.” Respect was also shown to the Lightning by college and uni- versity recruiters as a number of players will be moving on next season, including Kaitlyn Mullett (Ryerson), Chantal Bicket (Brock), Marissa Maugeri (Rochester Insti- tute of Technology), Emily Marks (Oswego) and Sara Kaljuvee (St. Francis Xavier), while Carly Marchment is still negotiating with schools. McDonald, who is committed to come back in the same capac- ity again next season, says his team will have a few practices in advance of the provincial cham- pionships April 8-10 in York. Try- outs follow shortly after from April 18-20.

MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE One of Rock’s top draft picks traded out west Andrew Suitor to play senior lacrosse in British Columbia BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The fourth overall selec- tion made by Ajax-Pickering at the Major Series League draft won’t play a single lacrosse game for the Rock this season. The club has traded Andrew Suitor to the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Associa- tion Sr. A league in a cash deal. “We talked about playing here. To keep (Andrew) here would have cost us some money. We’re not prepared to do that in our short tenure in Major Series Lacrosse,” said Rock GM/head coach Paul St. John. “We were able to work a deal that was fair for both us and Vic- toria. As a GM, we have to do what is right for our club and take the best deal that we feel is avail- able.” St. John said that the Rock knew before taking Suitor in the draft there was a chance he wanted to go west to play, but they were hopeful they could convince him to stay in Ontario and play close to home. A couple of weeks after the draft, Suitor contacted the Rock to express his interest in relocating to British Columbia. The deal is for a one-year release, and if Suitor stays in Vic- toria for the 2012 season, the Rock will get compensated again. St. John wouldn’t commit to how much the compensation package is worth, only saying “lots”. Suitor played Jr. A for Orange- ville last year, posting 8-31-39 numbers and 69 penalty minutes. He is currently playing with Min- nesota in the NLL. St. John said there were two or three Ontario teams interested in obtaining Suitor’s playing rights, and more than just Victoria in the west. The Rock are also going to lose a couple of more draft picks to west- ern teams. John Rae, drafted 25th overall out of Barrie, will be going to Langley in a pre-arranged deal before the draft. Suitor’s team- mate in Orangeville last season, Mike Teeter, selected 15th over- all, has also asked to be traded to a western club. After the quality players taken by the Rock in the draft had cre- ated excitement among fans and players within the team, it’s turn- ing into a frustrating process try- ing to convince players to stay and play. “It is tough that you have a draft See ROCK page 15 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 23, 201115 AP All of our Professional Coaches are certified by Skate Canada.

The draft was very deep and it shows on players who are going to move to the west out of the draft. We’re not the only club that is going to be affected by this. “It is frustrating. It doesn’t make the draft a token draft of mockery, but it does, in some way, really downplay the impor- tance of it if guys aren’t going to play for you.” As for the Rock’s first pick in the draft, third overall, St. John fully expects Jordan MacIntosh to play in Ajax-Pickering this season. “With Jordan, we’re expect- ing him to stay here. I’ll be very disappointed if that call comes down the road that we aren’t going to have Jordan MacIntosh in our lineup.” St. John added that Coquit- lam has asked about MacIntosh, but the Rock aren’t interested in dealing him. It total, he said, five of the seven western teams have contacted him inquiring about players the Rock drafted.

Log on to: www.durhamregion.com durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 23, 201119 AP ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE Generals welcomed back to the playoff party Oshawa favoured in OHL series against Kingston Frontenacs BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- This was to be a season, by many accounts, where the Oshawa Gener- als would simply be happy to make it back to the Ontario Hockey League’s post-sea- son dance after a two-year absence. But, now that the 68-game schedule is complete and the games begin for real on Thursday, there’s a sense the Generals could make a serious run. They are certainly considered favourites in the opening round, a best-of-seven East- ern Conference quarter-final against the Kingston Frontenacs. Although the series features the No. 4 and 5 seeds in the conference, rarely has there been such a discrepancy in points between teams so close, as the Generals’ 39-19-4- 6 record left them a whopping 21 points ahead of the 29-30-4-5 Frontenacs. Still, Generals coach and GM Chris DePi- ero cautioned against taking the Fronten- acs lightly, especially considering the teams played eight tight matches in the regular season, five of them won by the Generals, but none decided by more than two goals. “We’ve had eight pretty close games with them, with five overtime or shoot- out games,” DePiero pointed out. “They’ve got some pretty good firepower up front, they’ve got a large group of defencemen. We know they’re a good club and we’ve had some really good battles with them. I think it’s going to be a great, hard-fought playoff series.” One advantage the Frontenacs have is a more veteran lineup, with five of their top six scorers being 19 or 20 years old. The Generals, on the other hand, have three 17 year olds among their top five, including two rookies. “Their top-end core of guys have played in the playoffs,” DePiero conceded. “They’re an older team, and our group may be young and inexperienced, but I also look at it that we have guys who haven’t been told that they can’t win. Our guys can go out and play with enthusiasm and excitement and I think that’s a big, big thing for us.” Other than the age factor, the Generals have a huge advantage on paper. They have scored more goals (273-245), allowed fewer (240-279), and have a decided edge on both the power play and penalty kill. Both teams have two solid scoring lines, but no single player is more dangerous than Oshawa’s Christian Thomas, who fin- ished second in the league with 54 goals and sixth in points with 99. He was particu- larly potent against the Frontenacs, scoring 12 times. The Generals also have a stronger blue- line, especially now that captain Calvin de Haan appears to be playing his best hockey of the season. He is part of a strong top four, along with Scott Valentine, Daniel Maggio and Tony DeHart. But the biggest edge for Oshawa will like- ly come in goal, where Peter Di Salvo has been excellent since being acquired from the Barrie Colts. In addition to posting a 22-8-1-4 record since the trade, Di Salvo brings a wealth of playoff experience after helping the Colts reach the league final a year ago. The Frontenacs also have a proven playoff keeper, but Philipp Grubauer has been out of action since early February with mono- nucleosis and remains at home in Germa- ny recovering. Rookie Franky Palazzese, who has a 7-16-1-5 record, will carry the load in his absence. Game 1 of the Oshawa-Kingston series is 7:05 p.m. Thursday at the General Motors Centre. After that, games alternate cities, with Game 2 7:30 p.m. Friday in Kingston, Game 3 6:05 p.m. Sunday in Oshawa and Game 4 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 29 in Kings- ton. If necessary, Game 5 is Friday, April 1 in Oshawa, Game 6 Sunday, April 3 in Kingston and Game 7 Tuesday, April 5 in Oshawa. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals J.P.
