His friend and neighbour Ken Eyre is also familiar with the effects of the disease. He lost his mother to cancer when he was just 12 years old, and feels it’s time to do his part to help put a stop to the disease. “As a child, I witnessed a strong, determined and vibrant woman become reduced to a mere shadow of herself and lose the battle against cancer,” he wrote on his donation page on the ride’s website. Team Greene, made up of six cyclists, will ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls on June 11 and 12 for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Can- cer, which benefits the Campbell Family Insti- tute at the Princess Margaret hospital. Claremont team to help conquer cancer ALL INVITED TO POKER EVENT FRIDAY TO SUPPORT CAUSE JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Claremont residents Ken Eyre and Sean Greene are riding in the 200-kilometre Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer on June 11 and 12.

POLITICS Ajax, Pickering mayors want cities agenda REKA SZEKELY / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax resident Eldon Dixon was among of group of volunteers who helped Ajax-Pickering Conservative candidate Chris Alexander campaign among commuters at the Ajax GO Station April 5. TONY CLEMENT REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- While members of the public want to hear about health care, taxes, education and other kitchen table issues dur- ing this election, local mayors are citing infra- structure funding as their top issue during the federal election campaign. In Ajax, Mayor Steve Parish said he wants to see a cities agenda from candidates. “Basically I think many of us are looking for a long-term partnership that would involve ensuring government funding on a sustain- able basis for things like transit, housing, those things that would make our urban cen- tres stronger, our local economies stronger,” he said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan echoed the need for long-term funding for infrastructure because he said the property tax base simply isn’t enough to cover the needs of municipal- ities. “We have the gas tax funding and that’s great, but frankly it’s not enough,” he said. When it comes to stimulus dollars, both Ajax and Pickering received millions for infra- structure upgrades. In Ajax, these included the conversion of historic St. Francis de Sales into a community arts and culture centre, an upgrade to Old Kingston Road and the con- nection between Fairall Street and Station Street, including the demolition of the former Avery-Dennison building. In Pickering, the major project is a pedes- trian bridge over Hwy. 401 linking the GO sta- tion to an office tower on Pickering Parkway. And the City also received funds for renova- tions to the Don Beer Arena and the Pickering Recreation Complex among other projects. Mayor Ryan said there are needs beyond basics such as roads and sewers. “We’re talk- ing about the need for an arts centre I’d like to see built in Pickering, some of that funding has to come from the federal government.” Federal funding for municipal transporta- tion networks, particularly public transit, is a priority for Mayor Parish. “Moving goods effi- ciently throughout the region is a major factor in the location of businesses,” he said. A major priority for Mayor Ryan is a decision on whether an airport will be built in north Pickering. He points out it’s been 39 years since the federal government began expropri- ating the land. He would also like to see incentives for new home owners. Previous federal programs have given home renovation tax credits and green retrofit dollars to existing homeowners. He said new home buyers are more likely to choose items such as granite counter tops as opposed to a geothermal system and he’d like to see incentives for developers to include green technologies in homes. Mayor Ryan said that would be a big benefit to Pickering with the Seaton community being developed in the next few years. “I think it would be that much more power- ful if it was directed to the new home, there’s a lot of new technologies that are available and are becoming available that frankly the new owner is not investing in,” he said. Mayor Parish said he’s also hearing that education, particularly post-secondary edu- cation, is a priority for residents in Ajax as is the care of seniors. “I’m very concerned that some of our seniors -- now and in the future -- are being sentenced to retire into a life of poverty.” Neither mayor will offer endorsements and both are keeping mum on who they’re voting for. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 20113 P ADULT DAY SCHOOL IN JUST 7 WEEKS NO DIPLOMA?

Since 2008, the Ride To Con- quer Cancer has raised $45 million. “The ride’s purpose is to raise money for research and hopefully one day eradicate it,” Mr. Greene said. Mr. Eyre has participated in the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice mountain bike race at Albion Hills, but this trek will be new for him. Mr. Greene has done a 75-kilometre ride for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, so the 200-kilometre ride will be a chal- lenge for both. “This will be the longest I’ve ridden back- to-back,” Mr. Greene said. Aside from donating to the ride specifi- cally, the team hopes the community will participate in a number of events it has planned. “Our goal is to raise $25,000,” Mr. Greene said. This Friday, Team Greene will host a Texas hold ‘em poker tournament at 8 p.m. at the Claremont Community Centre, 4941 Old Brock Rd. It’s $20 and it includes din- ner, a 50/50 draw and a cash bar. All are welcome and can buy tickets at the door. Those who can’t make it but wish to donate can visit www.conquercancer.ca and search for Ken Eyre or Sean Greene. Donations are tax-deductable and receipts will automatically be sent to the donor.

The Region of Durham is inviting people to drop off electronic and electrical waste for free recycling. Items that can be dropped off include: televisions, satellite systems, com- puters, monitors, printers and accessories, fax machines, photocopiers, gaming consoles, telephones, cellphones, PDAs, calculators, electronic cash registers, radios, amplifiers, turntables, speakers, stereos, VCR and DVD players, projectors, cameras and camcorders. All equipment received will be shredded at an approved industrial recycling site and most materials will be used for future prod- ucts. Residents are reminded to clear com- puter hard drives of personal or sensitive information before recycling computers. Items that are not accepted at Durham’s e-waste collections include appliances, scrap metal, tools and household hazardous wastes, such as batteries. The e-waste collections run from 8 a.m. to noon and are planned for: • Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Val- ley Farm Rd., on Saturday, April 9; • Ajax Operations Centre, 800 Salem Rd. N., on Saturday, April 16. Meanwhile, residents can drop off e-waste items throughout the year at the Region’s waste management facilities: 1640 Ritson Rd. N., Oshawa; 1623 Reach St., Port Perry; Sideroad 17, Brock Township. Loads contain- ing e-waste only are taken free of charge. ENVIRONMENT Free recycling of electronics for Durham residents durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 20114 AP Technology, staffing changes to address backlog JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The adoption of new technology is among the measures Durham police are taking to address waiting times for criminal background checks. On Monday the service unveiled a new, central- ized fingerprinting centre in Whitby, one of a num- ber of steps taken to speed up a process necessary for many people looking to volunteer or start new jobs. “It was a priority for us because people need these checks to enter the workforce and to volunteer,” said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby. “We wanted to make sure we could process them as quickly as we could.” The checks are much in demand, particularly for people volunteering or working with vulnerable cli- ents. Durham police search for prior criminal charges and convictions listed on the Canadian Police Infor- mation Centre system, and if an applicant has lived in the region for less than five years, will make an inquiry with police in the jurisdiction the subject has moved from. But the process has become significantly more cumbersome with changes implemented by the RCMP and imposed on municipal forces such as Durham police. Local police forces are now required to flag an applicant in the event there are matches to a list of the nation’s 14,000 pardoned sex offenders. A match could occur in two ways: if the applicant’s name and date of birth match someone on the list, or if their gender and birthdate are a match. Should there be a match, the applicant must have fingerprints taken by local police and sent to the RCMP for analysis before a clean record can be con- firmed. That added layer of security means the number of people having to go through the second step has increased greatly, from fewer than 100 a year to as many as 3,000. That’s where new technology, set up and running at the police station on Taunton Road in Whitby, comes in. Those requiring fingerprint checks can now have their prints sent electronically to the RCMP, greatly reducing waiting times, police say. The service has also adjusted staffing levels and taken other steps to streamline the process, Mr. Selby said. “It’s a high-volume business, under a lot of time pressures,” Mr. Selby said. The finger printing centre at Central West Division, 480 Taunton Rd. East in Whitby, will operate week- days from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. It houses two LiveScan non-ink fingerprinting machines that can transmit electronic fingerprints directly to the RCMP, cutting their response time from about nine weeks to seven to 10 days. Although citizens filling out routine background checks (formally known as Criminal Information Requests, or CIRs) are encouraged to attend their closest police station, they can also fill out applica- tions at the new fingerprinting center. In order to ensure faster service and to minimize costs for those applying for volunteer positions, citi- zens are now required to bring a letter from the orga- nization they are volunteering for, on the organiza- tion’s letterhead. This letter should state the individ- ual’s name, position and general duties they will be performing. This will ensure you receive the volun- TECHNOLOGY Durham police streamlining criminal checks teer rate of $15 instead of the $45 fee and it also satisfies the RCMP’s requirement to waive its $25 fee for fingerprint com- parison, if required. Those applying for background checks will be required to make payment at the time of the request. Methods of payment include: cash (exact change), Visa, MasterCard, debit, certi- fied cheque, money order or bank draft. To help streamline the process even further, the DRPS will no longer be providing civil fingerprinting services for the purposes of Visas, pardons or immigration documents.

And Durham police continue their investi- gation into Stephen Martin, who has taught at schools in Durham since 1998, most recently Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School on Cedar Street in south Oshawa. Police released news of his arrest Friday. “It was a tough day and a tough time for everybody,” Durham District School Board spokeswoman Andrea Pidwerbecki said. “A letter went home to families at all six schools (where the accused man has taught) Friday. “Psychologists and social workers were at all six schools to provide support to students if needed, and, of course, staff,” she added. She said the board will provide further links to parents who need assistance helping chil- dren who’ve become aware of the allegations. Police expressed concern that there may be more victims. “There’s a huge level of concern,” said Det. Randy Norton. “He’s got so much contact with kids on a day-to-day basis.” Police say they have no indication students were approached at school. Mr. Martin, 38, is alleged to have posed as a girl named Ashley -- using a photo of an attrac- tive blonde girl -- to lure young males into online encounters. The boys were encouraged to expose their genitals via webcam and share sexually explicit images, police allege. Durham cops were contacted after a young man reported an inappropriate online conver- sation, Det. Norton said. The investigation led cops to Mr. Martin’s home on Magnolia Ave- nue in Oshawa, where they executed a search warrant on March 30, seizing computers and related equipment containing images of child pornography, he said. It’s alleged the accused man used a number of e-mail addresses, including Ashley.m3, ash- ley.mmm and others incorporating the names jessica and amanda. He’s also alleged to have opened a Facebook account under the name Ashley Mtthws. It’s alleged contact was made with young people in Durham Region. None of the allegations has been proven in court. Det. Norton urged parents to check to see if their kids have had any contact with the accused man or any of the online sites he’s alleged to have frequented. “We’re at the pre- liminary stages of this investigation. We have no idea how big it is,” he said. Mr. Martin has been employed with the Durham District School Board since 1998, teaching children in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. He’s worked at the following schools: Dr. CF Cannon Public School, 2010 to present; Norman Powers Public School, 2009/2010; Sir William Stephenson Public School, 2004/209; William Dunbar Public School, 2000/2004; Sir John A McDonald, 1999/2000, and Cadarackque Public School, 1999. Mr. Martin has been suspended and relieved of all school-based duties while the investiga- tion and any other proceedings unfold, Ms. Pidwerbecki said. Mr. Martin is charged with two counts of lur- ing, two counts of invitation to sexual touch- ing, possession of child pornography and making child porn. The investigation continues.

I’d like to encourage Pickering’s residents to participate in the council meetings and be aware what their councillors are voting for. You may be surprised, as I was during the last council meeting. Pickering’s budget was on the agenda. The costs for many line items in the pro- posed budget seemed inflated. We have been constantly overtaxed, meaning that the City collects more money from us than it needs for its operations. In 2010 the City collected $3 million more than was necessary. If you have more money, than you tend to spend more, particularly if it is “public” money. Most surprising was the attitude of the councillors Kevin Ashe, Doug Dickerson, David Pickles and Mayor Dave Ryan, who I call the Group of Four. When Councillor Bill McLean requested the allocation of $30,000 for an integrity commissioner, the Group of Four voted no and all others voted yes. When Coun. McLean requested a grant for the Durham West Arts Centre be removed from the budget the Group of Four voted no and all others voted yes. When you look at the council’s meet- ing minutes, this is a common thread. The problem is that there are seven members on council and Group of Four always has its way. Jolanta Duszak Pickering FEDERAL ELECTION It is our civic duty to vote To the editor: Re: ‘Durham College and UOIT students divided on importance of voting’, durham- region.com, April 1, 2011. In response to the student in paragraph 4: No one has a superior opinion; an opinion in an opinion. There is no better or worse opinion (even if you are voting for the Neo Rhinoceros or Bloc Quebecois Party). It is our civic duty to vote in elections. Yes, this often is tied to staying informed. That as well is an integral civic duty. As a result of this article, I became curious as to how the past election would have turned out if more Canadian citizens informed themselves and got involved in the elec- tion. Who would be in power? What would they change? How would that affect aver- age Joe citizens like me? Maybe Harper would have had a majority vote and we would not have to hold perpetual elections. This would save tons of money, which, in turn, could have been easily spent on more worthy causes. Jennifer Desauniers Amherstburg, Ont. ENERGY Putting nuclear plans on hold isn’t wise To the editor: Re: ‘Ontario urged to rethink nuclear plans’, news, durhamregion.com, March 15, 2011. With all of the attention being paid to nuclear energy lately, it is not surprising to see Greenpeace advise against the devel- opment of more nuclear reactors –- now, or ever. While there is absolutely noth- ing wrong with continued internal safety review, some have neglected to remem- ber that this is not Japan. In other words, the reactor design used here in Ontario has been proven to be the safest in the world and we are not located in a seismic hot- bed similar to the Japanese. We use a much different reactor than that of the “Boiling Water Reactors” in Japan. We should not risk thousands of local jobs, stable and efficient energy production, and poten- tial power outages because other coun- tries have postponed their nuclear plans. While other sources of renewable energy production should continue to be explored and, indeed, furthered, putting our nuclear plans on hold is simply not a wise option.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 20116 AP & Improvements to background checks welcome, needed in Durham Durham Regional Police Service officials must surely be breathing a sigh of relief this week with the adoption of new technology to expedite background criminal checks required for citizens seeking certain jobs, or community-based volunteer positions. The process has been in place for several years, but new rules implemented by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police -- entirely and reasonably based on community safe- ty -- made it a far more cumbersome pro- cess for municipal police forces. Under the new protocol, any individual whose name or birth date, as part of the routine crimi- nal background check, matches any of the nation’s 14,000 pardoned sex offenders, faces an enhanced fingerprint check before being cleared. That added layer of security increased the number of enhanced checks from approximately 100 a year ago to as many as 3,000, which led to the growing backlog. To their credit, Durham police officials responded to the issue expeditiously. Police on Monday unveiled a new central- ized fingerprinting centre in Whitby, a key piece of the puzzle to expedite the process for residents from Pickering to Newcastle and north to Scugog and Uxbridge. That means the first-time hockey coach, youth club volunteer, or potential employee who requires a background check before being cleared for service or employ- ment can expect a much more reasonable turnaround time and not risk losing out because of lengthy delays. Moreover, Durham police have added additional pre-screening steps -- such as a letter for those applying for volunteer positions from the host organization -- to ensure faster service and reduce some of the costs associated with the checks. In essence, the new fingerprinting cen- tre and streamlined procedures will go a long way to reduce -- if not eliminate -- the delays that led to so much difficulty for people simply seeking to help out in their communities. It will remove for those with a real shot at employment the fear of being passed over because of bureaucratic poli- cy and procedure. It will also allow police officials to focus more fully on law enforce- ment and shift resources to where they are more urgently required. The background checks are necessary, unfortunately, in the world we share. But credit is due to police officials for respond- ing to the need, and for local residents caught short by the delays who pointed out there was a problem that needed address- ing. Now, everyone involved can turn their focus to what’s most important to them: working, volunteering, serving and pro- tecting. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group Spring, it appears, has sprung. Yes the crocuses are finally peeking out and the odd robin has even been sighted. The real harbinger of spring, however, is the release of the new automobile lineup. And by the looks of things, this year plans to be noth- ing short of jaw-droppingly fantastic. With fuel prices skyrocketing and the polar ice-cap melting faster than a Cream- sicle on Labour Day, the big push is on for affordable alternative-fuel vehicles. And, thanks to some remarkable innovation, consumers now have a wide field of ‘green’ to choose from. Leading the pack is the new Ford Rage. A car that literally runs on ‘Profane’. A sensi- tive microphone in the dash picks up every four-letter expletive uttered by angry, grid- locked drivers and converts this negative energy into combustible, zero-emission fuel. The more annoyed you get, the better your mileage. After initial test trials on the DVP during morning rush hour, most vehi- cles had to be equipped with emergency overflow caps on their fuel tanks. According to focus groups, most peo- ple would like to drive a green vehicle but, consistently, one of the major roadblocks to doing so is, ironically, the very technol- ogy that makes the vehicle green in the first place. Consumers are intimidated by the complexity of these cars. In response to this fear, GM has brilliantly jumped into the market with the release of the Chevy Dolt. A plug-in electric vehicle designed for, to quote the press release, ‘drivers who don’t have the brains to pound sand down a rat hole’. The Dolt does it all. Onboard computers constantly monitor vehicle performance and maintenance schedules, automati- cally phoning the nearest service outlet, doctor and dental offices and pre-booking appointments for you. For a small upgrade fee, the vehicle will also electronically file your taxes. A hands-free laser guidance system takes control of the vehicle the moment you pull into your driveway, and docks the car safely into the power station, leaving the driver free to pick his nose or have another go at tying his shoelaces. But that’s not all. The Dolt comes equipped with an electronic eye in the front and rear bumpers as well as both side panels, giving the vehicle’s navigational computers a 360-degree view of surround- ing traffic. All Dolts ship in the factory-set default ‘Dunce Mode’ which allows the computer to take over handling of the vehi- cle when it senses the driver is following too close, speeding excessively or dawdling in the left-hand lane. Unless, of course, it senses it’s driving alongside a Ford Rage, in which case it will automatically do its part for the environment by cutting that vehicle off. ‘Dunce Mode’ can be over-ridden but not without first passing a Grade 5 literacy test. Safety first. Finally, savvy consumers want more and more from their vehicles and options are always high on their list. This year’s autos do not disappoint in the frills department, with models from all major manufactur- ers coming standard with everything from leather upholstery to Heads-Up Naviga- tional systems. Head and shoulders above the crowd however, is the Nissan Boom- er, with its state-of-the-art mid-life health package, the jewel of which is the impres- sive ‘car-lonoscopy’. Every 50,000 kilome- tres, whether you need it or not, the vehi- cle does a complete gastrointestinal scan of anyone over 50 in the car. That’s progress. Safe motoring everyone. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 2011What is the most dangerous thing you’ve wilingly participated in?

Interviewing a journalist is relatively safe because we’ve all been there and remember what it was like to come face-to-face with our first interviewees. The student gets the benefit of patience and reassurance. Like her predecessors, this week’s student came prepared with a long list of questions all neatly written out. I smiled when, like every student before her, she was faced with the reality that this is not a simple con- versation in which you speak, then I speak. Caught up in the chat, the student jour- nalist invariably struggles to take notes, often opting to wait politely until the inter- viewee is finished speaking before put- ting pen to paper. By that time, much of the conversation is forgotten and the stu- dent reporter left with a few quickly scrib- bled words from which to cobble together a story. I tell every student the same thing, I get a kick out of building things because it provides tangible evidence of what I do all day. Whether designing a newspaper page, creating a website component, working with reporters on an investigative news series or building a solid news team -- it’s all very satisfying. My first interview as a tongue-tied j-school student was with an author, and the subject was death and dying. I was so nervous that by the end of the interview death didn’t seem like such a bad idea. Three decades later the unsuspecting stu- dents who cross paths with me have to be patient because I tend to blather on about this business that I love. My advice to any student is the same -- find something you love to do and do it every day: you will be successful. -- Next time editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt will let you in on the answer to ‘what do you like least about being an editor?’ The best thing about being editor JOANNE BURGHARDTJASON LIEBREGTS/ BEHIND THE LENS The simplicity and dramatic angle of the lighting on this photo of a tae kwon do athlete helped portray a confident and disciplined competitor in her element. I liked how the lines in the extended forearm connected the viewer to the face and striking eyes. This is an example of how subject is not always the entire picture, and that lighting can alter or enhance the viewer’s percep- tion.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Bustin’ a move in Pickering PICKERING -- Internationally renowned break dancer B-Boy Morris made a special appearance at the East Shore Community Centre recently during the City’s free teen break dance program. He showed off his skills to a younger group before the free drop-in took place. Free supplies for 20-Minute Makeover April 15 at City facilities, Pizza Pizza PICKERING -- It’s makeover time in Pickering and residents are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help beautify the community. The City of Pickering is asking various community groups, schools, businesses and residents across the city to help clean up litter in the community and partici- pate in the 7th annual 20-Minute Pickering Makeover. It’s taking place across the city at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 15. “The 20-Minute Makeover is the perfect spring event as it beautifies our city; instills civic pride; promotes physical activity; and most importantly, raises awareness of the problem of littering,” said Mayor David Ryan. “Our ultimate goal is to eventually stop holding this event. Through ongoing educational efforts, we hope that people will make a conscious decision not to lit- ter.” Michelle Pearce, environmental aware- ness programs coordinator, said City staff has started picking up the litter that accu- mulated over the winter but there is still work to be done. “It is encouraging that our community rallies around this event and pitches in,” she said. “Each year we have thousands of people register to participate and 2011 is shaping up to be no different.” Those wishing to take part can either reuse a plastic bag from home or pick up free litter bags and gloves at Pickering City Hall, One The Esplanade, the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., and all Pickering Library branches. Supplies are also available at partici- pating Pizza Pizza locations throughout Pickering. Groups are encouraged to register for the makeover by calling 905-683-7575 (TTY 905-420-1739) so staff can deliver clean-up supplies and haul away the litter collected.

APoolEnclosurePermitmayberequired durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 201110 AP While some churches close their doors, other religious groups report steady growth REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Every year in Durham Region it seems, historic churches that have stood for 100 years or more are shuttering their win- dows and closing their doors. Among them, recent- ly, are Harmony United Church in Oshawa, which closed its doors on Feb. 28, and Zion United Church in Mitchell’s Corners in Clar- ington, which closed its doors on Dec. 29. In both cases, the main reason for the closure was declining membership. There’s no arguing that Canadians as a whole are attending reli- gious services less than they used to. According to Statistics Canada, in 1985, 30 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and older reported attending a religious ser- vice once a week. That figure dropped to 21 per cent in 2005. In that 20-year time frame, the number of people reporting they have no religious affiliation doubled from 11 per cent to 22 per cent in 2005. Still, even with those numbers, many religious groups in Durham are reporting growth. Among them is Forest Brook Commu- nity Church, which started out with just 24 people in Pickering 30 years ago. Since then the group has grown to about 600 and moved to its current Ajax location in 2005. “Most of the growth in Christianity comes from people who have Christian roots, maybe their parents went to church years ago, or they’ve lapsed in their church attendance,” said Pastor Kevin Armstrong. He sees the shift to a more individual- istic and consumer society as the reason church attendance has declined in recent years. “It was a cultural thing that happened, and over time as society changed, I think what happened is a lot of churches shrank inside themselves. Because they retreat- ed, they lost their position of influence in society.” That’s why, he said, Forest Brook was founded with the mindset of reaching out to society and the community. He says as a more informal group, it’s easier to bridge the gap to people and points out that while faith doesn’t change, the way it’s packaged does. “Churches like ours that include less for- mality, appeal to this generation because it’s not your mom and dad’s church,” said Pastor Armstrong. And even old churches can have a new lease on life. After the Whitevale United Church went up for sale in 2008, it was eventual- ly bought by the St. Joseph of Arimathea Orthodox Church. Real estate agent and congregation member Michael Plomaritis found the site and he said the group is happy at its new location after moving in in 2010. “Obviously we’re thrilled it’s there for us and we can worship there and we can make it our own,” he said, pointing out that St. Joseph of Arimathea is unique in that it’s the only all-English Orthodox church in the GTA. Since the move to Whitevale, Mr. Plo- maritis said he’s shown homes to three or four families looking to locate in the area and with many young families, including about 50 children under age five, he sees a bright future for the church. And while change has brought success to Forest Brook, it’s tradition that keeps Mr. Plomaritis attending services at St. Joseph. “I can just say for me in our worship it kind of goes back to the roots of Ortho- doxy, not changing with the times, keep- ing with the tradition.” This is part 1 in a two-part series on Religion in Durham Religion flourishing in Durham Region Churches like ours that include less formality, appeal to this generation because it’s not your mom and dad’s church. Pastor Kevin Armstrong AJAX -- Kevin Armstrong is the director of ministry at Forest Brook Community Church. In the 30 years since the church started, it has expanded from 24 to more than 600 parishioners. Mr. Armstrong says most of the growth in Christianity has come from those with roots in the religion.

News Advertiser THE Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 201114 AP HOCKEY Lightning players moving on Durham West places 10 with Canadian, US universities BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The success the Durham West Junior Lightning enjoyed on the ice this season has translated into a great opportunities for the team’s graduating seniors. All 10 of the team’s graduating seniors will be moving on to universities in Canada and the US this fall. “It’s great that they all got the opportuni- ty,” says head coach Wayne McDonald, who played a big role in the development of the players this season. “The fact all the girls were able to keep their academics up and from a hockey standpoint, they’ve all attract- ed the interest from these schools whether it’s CIS or schools in the States. I think the fact that they keep both up is good.” Opting to stay in the country and attend university in Canada are Kaitlyn Mullett (Ryerson), Chantal Bicket (Brock), Sara Kaljuvee (St. Francis Xavier) and Emily Rose Galliani Pecchia (St. Mary). Originally it was announced in March that St. Mary would be discontinuing its women’s hockey program as a cost-cutting measure, but after Canadian Tire and some private sponsors stepped for- ward to contribute, the program was restored just two weeks later. Heading down to the United States will be Shannon Stewart (Plattsburgh), Marissa Maugeri (RIT) and Kathryn Goodwin (Utica), while Carly Marchment and Emily Marks will continue to be teammates (Oswego). Round- ing out the 10 is Megan Kirkham, who will be heading to Yale for field hockey. The large number speaks to the success of the Lightning program this season, finish- ing with a record of 14-15-5-2 in the Provin- cial Women’s Hockey League, good enough for 12th in the 19-team loop. The playoffs presented an upset for the Lightning over higher-seeded Whitby in the opening round, before they bowed out in three straight games to top-seeded Mississauga in the quarter- finals. “We talk to coaches all the time down in the US and try to promote the girls as best we can,” says McDonald. “I think it helped that as a team we did well, beating Whitby out and making Mississauga work hard to win. “Right from the start I encourage the girls to move on. I’m sure some of them thought there would be more opportunities, but when you get an opportunity, take advantage of it.” McDonald also feels this graduating class will pave the way for next year’s players who wish to move on to a higher level and contin- ue their academics and athletics. “I think the girls next year will get the same kind of response. Because of all these girls getting opportunities, it’s going to open the eyes of the coaches in the States to keep an eye on Durham.” The Lightning will be playing in the Ontar- io championship tournament this weekend, opening the round robin on Friday at 12:45 p.m. against Nepean. SUBMITTED PHOTO AJAX -- The Durham West Junior Lightning will be sending 10 of its players off to univer- sity next season, including, back row, from left: Kaitlyn Mullett, Shannon Stewart, Carly Marchment, Emily Marks, Marissa Maugeri, Chantal Bicket; from row: Kathryn Goodwin, Emily Rose Galliani Pecchia, Sara Kaljuvee, Megan Kirkham. AWARDS Ajax swimmers impressive in the NCAA AJAX -- Alex Andrechuk is closing out her first season at Wingate University on a high note with a silver medal in the 400m individual medley at the Bluegrass Mountain Conference champion- ships. Andrechuk’s time of 4:31.80 (yards) converts to a new LTB in meters and was fast enough for the Ajax native to earn an invitation to the NCAA Division II national championships. Meanwhile, Texas Christian University fresh- man Michelle Fleming swam to a fifth-place finish in the 200m breastroke in the Mountain West Conference championships. Her time of 2:15.77 is a new school record, and achieved the NCAA ‘B’ cut. The Whitby native was the only freshman in the final. She was also a member of two school record-breaking relay teams over the course of the championships, and will now await a possible invitation to the NCAA Division I championships. Also impressing in the NCAA pools was Boise State University sophomore Christine Raininger, who had one of her all-time best performances in the women’s 400m IM at the WAC Confer- ence championships, placing second with a final time of 4:16.75, just .1 away from repeating as conference champion. Raininger’s time converts to a new best, and was also under the NCAA ‘B’ standard. Rain- inger added medals in her 200m IM and 200m fly over the course of the weekend, and like Fleming, the Ajax native will await an invitation to the national championships. All three swimmers competed with the Ajax Aquatic Club en route to obtaining their schol- arships and heading south. BASKETBALL North Alliance Press dominates ESN Packaging AJAX -- With a potential first-round bye in sight, North Alliance Press applied intensity on both sides of the court and cruised to a 55-33 victory over ESN Packaging in Ajax Men’s Recreational Basketball League. Tim Lane led the way for NAP, scor- ing a team-high 18 points and captain John Beyaz chipped in with 15. The ail- ing ESN Packaging played the contest without talented big man Phil Guthrie and they struggled to initiate consistent offence throughout the game. Doug Coles and Kitson Wallace led the way for ESN scoring nine points respective- ly. The Right Step kept pace with NAP by defeating Dickson’s Printing 48-26. The game was very close in the first half as both teams battled for suprem- acy. The Right Step offensive attack, led by Ron Bailey. Roger Young and Lean Arendse, overwhelmed Dickson’s Print- ing in the second half. Bailey, Young and Arendse, who scored 12, 11 and 10 points respectively, proved that they were too much for Dickson’s Printing and with the victory they earned a tie for second place with NAP. NAP and The Right Step will battle it out to determine which teams earn the first-round bye. After earning their 18th straight win, The Top Shelf assured themselves first place in the league. The Top Shelf rode the hot hand of point guard Calvin Smith, who posted a game-high 22 points and easily defeated Michael’s Eatery 54-46. Despite the loss, Claude Whitfield added another strong game for Michaels, scor- ing a team-high 15 points.

The Generals ran roughshod over the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hock- ey League’s Eastern Conference quarter- finals, averaging more than six goals per game as they walked away with the series in five games. The only sign of the jitters that might have been natural for a team with so little playoff experience came in Game 4, when they failed to complete the sweep in Kings- ton, falling 7-4. But they rebounded impressively Friday at the General Motors Centre, cruising to a 6-2 win and advancing to the conference semifinals against the Niagara IceDogs, beginning Thursday in St. Catharines. In the IceDogs, it’s safe to assume, they will meet a team that will not be coughing up six goals per game, or even anywhere close in all likelihood. The IceDogs allowed only 2.90 goals against per game in the regular season, sec- ond best only to the Mississauga Majors, and a meagre three goals in a first-round sweep over the Brampton Battalion. A good part of the reason for that is goal- ie Mark Visentin, who led Canada’s junior team to a silver medal at the world junior hockey championships, and who sported a 2.52 GAA in the regular season. “He’s one of the best,” Generals coach/ GM Chris DePiero said of Visentin, shortly after Friday’s win. “You know what, we’re just going to have to find ways (to score).” But Niagara is a team that also matched the Generals’ offensive output during the regular season, with both teams averag- ing just over four goals per game, so there’s a whole lot more than Visentin to worry about, DePiero pointed out. “They’ve got some good firepower up front, they can score goals and they’ve got depth at scoring goals,” he said. “They go three lines deep, they have strong defence- men and they’ve got the world junior goal- ie in net, so we’ve got our work cut out for us. It’s a great challenge.” The first round, surprisingly, didn’t really seem like much of a challenge for the Gen- erals, who jumped out to a 3-0 series lead and out-scored a more veteran Kingston team to the tune of 32-17 all told. Taking full advantage of injury issues for the Frontenacs, who rode Jr. C goalie Nathan Perry through the latter part of the series, Oshawa’s top two lines were firing on all cylinders, led by Christian Thomas’s 13 points. It was Boone Jenner who dominated Friday’s game, though, as the 17-year- old sophomore scored once, assisted on two others and was strong all over the ice, especially on the penalty kill. The blue-line also stepped up to contrib- ute offensively, led by Tony DeHart’s two goals and three assists, which gives him a surprising 10 points already, best among defencemen in the post-season. “I think we’re pretty confident and ready for the next round here,” DeHart said Fri- day. “We obviously can’t take them light- ly. Since the trade deadline, they’ve picked up some good guys and we haven’t played them since the deadline, so we’ll have to do some video to see who we can cover and just what we need to do to win that series.” Oshawa and Niagara met only twice in the regular season, with the IceDogs win- ning 6-5 at home way back on Oct. 16 and the Generals prevailing 4-2 at the GM Cen- tre on Dec. 29. However, Visentin didn’t play in either game for the IceDogs, while Peter Di Salvo played only in the latter game, making 39 saves in the Oshawa victory. The other conference semifinal features the league-leading Mississauga Majors against the Sudbury Wolves, both of whom also won by sweeps, the Wolves over the No. 2-seeded Ottawa 67’s. SWIMMING Top times for Pickering swimmers NEPEAN -- The Pickering Swim Club was among 73 teams from across Ontario, plac- ing 18th in the team overall standings at the Junior Provincial Short Course Champion- ships in Nepean. Philip Kay was the most improved swim- mer taking off 33.43 seconds. He won the Iron Man Award. He was also on the podium in six of the seven events he swam, including five gold. Alex Lee won the 100m breaststroke and placed second in the 200m breaststroke, breaking club records in both. He was fifth and seventh in the 200m and 400IM respec- tively. Warren Mayer also had a great meet win- ning the 50m freestyle, placed second in the 100m freestyle, fourth in the 400m freestyle (broke club records in all three events), fifth in the 200m freestyle and eighth in the 200IM (all best times). Robert Masters had a great race in the 200m breaststroke placing fifth. Jaime Baylon made finals and placed seventh in the 200m but- terfly event. Reanna Corkum placed seventh in the 800m freestyle event. Shaun Hanycz placed eighth in the 100m and 200m breast- stroke, earning best times in both events. Andrew Kay was second alternate in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke placing 10th in each event. Boys and girls relays were their best perfor- mances. Jacob Dosen, Kent Leng, Jamie Bay- lon and Andrew Kay competed for the boys and Reanna Corkum, Alex Lee, Amy Smith and Sabrina Rivas-Jaspe competed for the girls’ team. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 6, 201116 AP TRANSPORT NOW HIRING CLASS "AZ" DRIVERS • Ontario-Quebec • "B" Trains • U.S. Open Board MECHANICS' HELPER(S) • Trailer Bay Please Contact: NADINE EDWARDS 905-725-5544 ext 261 1189 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, ON L1H 8W8 www.minacs.adityabirla.com If employer-paid benefits, a pension plan, and product discounts weren’t enough, you’ll work at our beautiful lakeside location featuring TV and Internet lounges, a gourmet cafeteria, access to gym facilities, and much, much more!
