Both Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said in the April 6 News Advertiser infrastructure funding is at the forefront of their minds this fed- eral election. Picker- ing-Scarborough East Green Party candi- date Kevin Smith was quick to address those concerns in an open letter to Mayor Ryan and residents. “The biggest fiscal imbalance is the one that exists between municipal govern- ments and every- one else. This is something that needs to change,” he said. The Green party pledges to increase the gas tax transfer to communities to five cents per litre to fund sustainable trans- portation initiatives, he said, as well as cre- ating long-term municipal infrastructure funding by allowing municipalities to issue Municipal Registered Retirement Savings Plan Bonds. The party would also create municipal superfunds to build mass transit, promote cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, and build community housing, for example. A sports, culture and recreational facilities fund could be used to build an arts centre for Pickering, he said. Ajax-Pickering Conservative candi- date Chris Alexander said a big municipal issue is achieving balance in the tax base between commercial and residential. “This is a big issue for the whole coun- try but particularly for us in Ajax-Picker- ing and the Greater Toronto Area,” he said. “There has been so much growth. In some areas, infrastructure hasn’t kept pace.” He said Ajax and Pickering rely too much on the residential share of their revenue in their tax base, and the federal representa- tives should work with the provincial and municipal leaders to attract new business investment and employment to both com- munities. He explained the Conservative party has committed $2 million of gas tax money to municipalities for infrastructure and $148 million for federal infrastructure across the country. And the party has made a com- mitment to work with Canada’s municipal- ities to find a framework to ensure federal support for these infrastructure projects continue on a sustainable basis, he said. Pickering-Scarborough East NDP candi- date Andrea Moffat said the federal gov- ernment has to stop passing the buck. “We have to start working more collabor- atively and collect and invest more in our cities,” she said. The feds should reduce home heating costs and small business taxes, she said. Also, they need a system that benefits seniors, such as providing more forgivable loans, and securing pensions. “How does the community flourish if we can’t make ends meet?” she said. And the sandwich generation -- the group of adults caring for both their children and aging parents - needs relief. The NDP wants a national public transit strategy, she said, and would take anoth- er cent of the existing tax fund and put it toward public transit funding for munici- palities. Transit is also a big issue for the Liberal party, and Ajax-Pickering Liberal incumbent Mark Holland said the federal govern- ment has to treat all levels of government as equals, and this is true regarding infrastructure needs, par- ticularly transit. “We need to sit down with municipal and pro- vincial governments to make sure we enhance transit and fix that issue,” he said. The party would dedicate $5 billion over the next 10 years to deal with the backlog of affordable housing, and Mr. Holland noted many of those waiting are seniors. The Liberals plan to invest in econom- ic development, and he referenced the Beacon Project at the University of Ontar- io Institute of Technology, a large Liberal investment in 2005, which funded an auto- motive centre of excellence at the univer- sity. They’d continue to invest in innovative projects to enhance teaching, education and business development and give Dur- ham an economic edge. “That’s the kind of infrastructure we need,” he said. There would also be a green renova- tion tax credit if the Liberals get power of $13,500 to families.

PICKERING -- Two Pickering residents, including a young offender, face several charges after Durham Police seized a stolen handgun early Saturday morn- ing. A West Division officer on routine patrol pulled over a vehicle for a traffic infraction at Brock Road and Finch Avenue in Pickering, police report. The officer detected the smell of marijuana inside the vehicle and searched for drugs. No drugs were found, but the officer found a loaded .22 calibre restricted hand- gun, which had been sto- len. Two occupants were arrested without incident and the handgun seized. Christian Walters, 19, of Radom Street, and a 17-year- old male, both from Pickering, are charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle, possession of a firearm knowing the posses- sion was unauthorized, careless storage of a firearm, possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, and possession of a weapon obtained by the com- mission of an offence. The 17-year-old was also charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traffick- ing after officers found three grams of cocaine follow- ing his arrest and search. The youth can’t be identi- fied under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Both accused were held for a bail hearing. POLICE Gun seized, two Pickering residents face charges Durham police looking for two suspects AJAX -- Police are looking for two men in connection with a robbery at an Ajax electronics store last week.

Crews from both Ajax and Pickering fire departments were called to 1049 Squires Beach Rd., belonging to Mead Packaging, a company that produces cardboard boxes and packaging, after a fire was reported at 7:05 a.m. on April 10, said Pickering fire inspector Steve Fowlds. Although the fire was basically out by the time fire crews arrived thanks to a well-working sprinkler sys- tem, firefighters continued to douse the hot spots inside the plant until after 8:15 p.m. on April 11. A number of fire trucks from both departments were at the scene initially, and the Pickering department was in full swing the remainder of the time, pulling the boxes outside to ensure the fire didn’t spread. “The last thing you want is the fire to start up again,” he said. No injuries were reported and the cause is still under investigation. Mostly the packaging itself was damaged, and very little to the exterior of the building, but due to the exten- sive smoke, damage is estimated at $1 million. “As bad as the loss is, they could have lost the building,” Mr. Fowlds said. EMERGENCY SERVICES Pickering fire crews battle 37-hour fire Crash closes 401 near Salem Road in Ajax DURHAM -- A stretch of the eastbound Hwy. 401 near Salem Road in Ajax was closed for nearly an hour on Saturday evening following a three-vehicle collision. According to Ontario Provincial Police, a minor col- lision before 10 p.m. on April 9 prompted authorities to shut down a portion of the highway. Those involved in the crash suffered minor injuries, add OPP. Hwy. 401 was closed for about 45 minutes while debris from the collision was cleaned off the road- way, said Sergeant Dave Woodford, an OPP spokes- man. Officers at the scene helped stranded motorists get off Hwy. 401 and Ministry of Transportation offi- cials were also called in to help with traffic control, say OPP. BREAKING NEWS: ALL DAY, EVERY DAY >>durhamregion.com durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 20115 P Sound from 401 driving need for barrier KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Region won’t be respon- sible for maintaining a noise wall that’s going to be erected along a portion of Bayly Street in Pickering. The fence will be along the backyards of homes on Mari- net Crescent, which is west of West Shore Boulevard, on land owned by Durham Region. In February, Pickering council called on the Region to pay the costs to maintain the fence, designed to block sounds coming from nearby Hwy. 401. The fence is going to cost about $1 million, with the Province covering 90 per cent of the cost and Pickering the remainder. Last week, Durham council rejected a request by Pickering Councillor Jenni- fer O’Connell that the Region be respon- sible for maintenance costs. A resolu- tion before Regional council noted the Region wouldn’t be responsible for the design, construction or maintenance of the fence. Coun. O’Connell wanted to remove the maintenance portion of the resolution. “The Region doesn’t have to pay any capital costs, even though it’s a Regional road,” she said. Removing the maintenance clause “doesn’t bind the Region,” Coun. O’Connell added. Regional Chair- man Roger Ander- son said removing the maintenance provision would push the costs onto Durham. “In 10 to 15 years, someone will come in here and say it’s your fence. We gave them (the Province) the land. It’s their fence. You’re asking us to maintain it,” Mr. Anderson stated. “The noise fence is a result of (traffic noise from) the 401 and not the result of Bayly Street,” Mr. Anderson noted. “What you’re saying is in six months, someone will spray paint it and you’ll want us to come and clean it.” Works commissioner Cliff Curtis added, “The wall isn’t driven by noise on Bayly. It’s on our road allowance, but we shouldn’t have to bear any costs.” www.durhamcollege.ca/coned | 905.721.2000 ext. 2260 time f o r y o u You’ve always wanted to....now’s the time!

Roger Anderson POLITICS Gun registry has proven its worth To the editor: As the Conservative party announced its plan to abolish the long-gun registry, Ajax- Pickering voters should note that Mark Holland has been impressive in his sup- port for the registry. As public safety critic, Mr. Holland has been critical in curtailing previous efforts to eliminate the registry. Although the reg- istry has been presented as a potentially nation-dividing program, the facts are that it has been instrumental in reducing rates of homicide with long guns and, in partic- ular, reducing the number of women killed by guns. Thankfully, our common interests in a safe community have been well repre- sented by Mark’s tireless work. Frances Gunn Ajax VOLUNTEERS Police check took six months To the editor: Re: ‘Durham police streamlining criminal checks’, news, Pickering News Advertiser, April 6, 2011. I coach teams in two schools. One sea- son starts in late September and goes until November while the other starts in mid- November and goes until the beginning of March. I submitted my police check on Sept. 19. The police told me that the check would take longer than usual but I had no idea how long that would be. When I asked why, he told me that if my birth date and gen- der matched a pardoned sex offender, then I would have to give fingerprints. Since most sex offenders are male and since there are 14,000 pardoned sex offenders, the chances that every day of the year matching up with at least one of these offenders is great. It is not surpris- ing that every man I know who volunteers as a coach or volunteers in scouting went through this frustrating police check this year. I got my police check back in the mail on March 18. Six months, less one day, from the day I submitted it and after the season for both my teams was over. I have asked the police and the RCMP when I should apply in order to coach next September. The replies were not promis- ing. I was told that they do not know how long it will take but it will not take as long as it did this year. I am considering applying for my Sep- tember police check now, except I might be too late. Larry Noonan Pickering FEDERAL ELECTION Opposition hasn’t proven it is any better To the editor: I wonder where Canada would be today if the opposition parties had not contin- ued to disrupt Parliament with threats of a coalition government, constantly fighting the Conservatives, and ultimately forcing two unproductive and time-wasting elec- tions upon us? Now they’re at it again. What if the oppo- sition sat back quietly, let the Conserva- tives run the show -- as they’d been elect- ed to do twice, or was that three times? -- and use the four-year term to build a solid case against the Conservatives, and prove to Canadians exactly why “they” should be in power? No, instead they’ve done noth- ing to prove that they’re any better, and they’ve only proven that they’re just not happy until they get their way. So much for “democracy”, where the people get to vote, and the decision is final for four years. I guess the opposition want to “veto” our democratic rights as voters? Shame.

Here at home, there’s not much of a driving interest among everyday voters to head back to the polls for the fourth time in seven years, and especially for what is expected to be a repeat election day per- formance, namely a federal Conservative minority government. That’s contrary to what the pollsters might be suggesting, but is a notion that appears to have taken hold of average voters strug- gling to pay higher prices and taxes, who worry about job security and who have far more pressing issues confronting them in their lives. For many, the May 2 national election -- with a cost of approximately $300 million -- will do little to change Canada’s political landscape. It will be deja vu all over again, as the immortal Yogi Berra once said. Those who spoke to the Metroland Dur- ham Region Media Group while out for a day of shopping on the weekend shared their opinions freely. Some supported the Conservatives, others the Liberals. Some are hoping for a majority government to end the seemingly endless elections, while others expect a very similar minority situ- ation. Some blame the Liberals for forc- ing the election, others have succeeded in simply ignoring it entirely. Distilled, the varied opinions boil down to a collective, weary resignation, if not outright election fatigue. To address that, the Liberals, Conser- vatives and NDP must do more to inspire voters, to share a clear vision of the future under a government led by their party, to give them clear alternatives to the status quo. Television attack ads serve a purpose in vilifying one’s opponent, but do nothing to inform the electorate. Campaign bro- chures offer little more than tired old party slogans and empty rhetoric. Too many can- didates spend their time telling us why we shouldn’t vote for the others. Durham Region residents, like most of the rest of the country, have had their fill of living in the present while our politi- cal leaders keep looking to the past. They want a government that will go forward with bold ideas, honest and ethical repre- sentatives, and who will embrace the dear- ly held traditions of our democratic insti- tutions. They want strong fiscal managers and a government that sees compromise as a strength and not a weakness. What they don’t want is more political gridlock and jockeying, do-nothing agen- das, and mud-slinging representatives. George Orwell said, “At age 50 every man has the face he deserves.” I am 50 now and I think there’s some- thing to that. Our pusses, like it or not, are our calling cards. Actors understand this more than anyone. We all spend a great deal of time and money putting togeth- er the perfect ‘head shot’; a photo, usu- ally airbrushed to a fare-thee-well, of our faces. That’s all anyone seems interested in. No casting director ever asked me to bring my resume and a ‘bum shot’ to an audition. Although, to be honest, there have been times in my career where the difference between my head shot and a bum shot was marginal. But faces are it. They even outrank cleav- age as the first place most of us look. More than that, however, they’re a remarkably accurate compendium of where we’ve been, what we’ve done and how we feel about it. Life, and more importantly, our approach to it, gets etched on there, year by year, decade by decade. Surely you’ve witnessed this yourself. The constantly worried individual with the deeply furrowed brow. The glass-half- empty person whose pursed lips have become chiseled into a perennially down- turned scowl. The jovial sort with the twin- kling eyes and the crow’s feet. Life. It’s all there. Even when we try to hide our years and experiences behind cosmetics and sur- gery, a tale is still clearly told. When I meet someone whose belly button is now at her throat, don’t you think that speaks volumes? I knew a woman, for years, who was ostensibly very successful, socially con- scious and for all outward appearances, enlightened even. She wrapped her good deeds and Samaritanism around her like a silken shawl. For years she was consid- ered a paragon of virtue, philanthropy and culture. But it was never enough to shroud her real self. In the end her face, indeed her entire body, loudly betrayed her enor- mous efforts of concealment. As she aged, her features became sharp, even raptor- like. Her hands turned into claws. Her eyes and cheekbones, once undeniably strik- ing, hardened into a cold, formidable car- apace of anger, judgment and regret. The lips, exhausted finally from years of false sentiments, shrank back into a kind of feral grimace. She lived a long time. A very long time. And as her energies ebbed, her real nature was given full license to reveal itself. Her face became a mask of hate. I’ve never forgotten her. I’m not advocating narcissism but I think it behooves all of us to spend a little time looking in the mirror now and then. Take a good look at that face. What is it telling you? And if you don’t like what you see, what changes can you make to fix it? I’m not talking about scalpel and staples. What changes in your life can you make that will show up on that face in the years to come in a way that pleases you? Orwell was right. We do, inevitably, end up with the face we deserve. But I don’t believe he went far enough. Just like our lives are never irredeemable, nor our souls irretrievable, our faces, as telling as they are, are never etched in stone. And a makeover of the heart and spirit will trans- form our outer selves far greater and far more quickly than any amount of pancake, rouge or plastic. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 2011What do you do to lift yourself up when you’re feeling blue?

If it is a good story, it should have good art to go with it. That was, up until a week ago. If there is one constant in the newspa- per business, it’s that things will always change. Show me a stagnant newspaper and I’ll show you one that probably isn’t in business anymore. Last week, editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt introduced a new front page look to our page editors. The freestanding photo. A freestander is a picture taken by one of our photographers which stands on its own, no story required. An exam- ple would be the picture on of the giant tree being cut down in Oshawa which ran on the front of last Friday’s Oshawa This Week . The new style also allows a strong pic- ture to run on the front and point to a story inside, such as the shot of the Oshawa Generals last Wednesday during a prac- tice before their second-round meeting with the Niagara ice Dogs. Now, giving photographers a whole front page for their shots is like giving a starving dog a bone. They don’t want to give it up. It’s incentive, a challenge to hold on to. A new challenge is never a bad thing. So the debate in the newsroom has become about which story or strong pic- ture to put on the front page. It’s one chief photographer Ron Pietron- iro and I have been taking part in whole- heartedly. He wants great big photos on the front. I want the important news on the front with a good photo. I’m not opposed to a big photo but it has to be special. So, if your front page looks different from time to time, the decision was made after much debate and discussion, and some- where a photographer is smiling. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom MIKE JOHNSTON durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 20118 P Pickering Recreation Complex 1867Valley Farm Rd., Pickering Saturday April 30, 2011 9am - 4pm $3.00 Admissi o n Childre n FREE www.showsdurhamregion.com Keep your copy in a convenient spot and refer to it often!

She’s still taking part in the cardiac rehabilitation pro- gram to this day. At the launch of a campaign to benefit the cardiac program, she said her diagnosis was a blessing in disguise; her four sisters underwent stress tests as a result, and one of them was found to have a blockage in her heart. “They will always have my undying appre- ciation and gratitude,” she said of the staff. Ms. Parissi, doctors and staff, gathered to support the newly-launched Heart of It All fundraising campaign to purchase new echocardiogram machines for the cardiac diagnostic units at both Ajax and Centenary hospital sites. The launch was held on April 7 at the Ajax-Pickering hospital in conjunc- tion with the newly opened cardiac diag- nostics unit, a major part of the hospital’s recent multi-million-dollar redevelopment. The advanced machines have the ability to create improved two-dimensional and thee-dimensional renderings of the heart to diagnose heart problems. Organizers hope to purchase two large stationary machines and a portable one within a year. “Our goal is to raise altogether $500,000 to buy the machines,” said cardiologist and campaign co-chairman Dr. Paul Galiwan- go. He explained the machines are a staple of cardiac care, and a echocardiogram is a test almost every patient in the cardiac care unit will undergo. “We do thousands of ‘echos’ a year,” Dr. Galiwango said. Despite Rouge Valley’s leadership in car- diac care, the ‘echo’ machines are outdat- ed, he said, and the new machines replace them and help save more lives. “I think it’s really going to improve the program we do and the services we offer,” he said. Fellow cardiologist and campaign co- chairman Dr. Ram Vijayaraghavan said the clear image allows him to quickly assess the patient and make a diagnosis. “What’s been proven is the quicker we get the artery open, the better results and reha- bilitation,” he said. A number of special events, such as an upcoming casino night, will help raise the money and donations can also be made in many ways.

PICKERING -- Police are looking for help in identifying suspects who stole horse tranquilizers and other drugs from a veter- inary technician’s car in Pickering. Police estimate the theft occurred some- time between 4 p.m. on April 5 and 6:30 a.m. on April 6 in the Finch Avenue and Whites Road area of Pickering. That’s when a veterinary technician went out to her car in the morning, a 2006 Toyota Matrix, and found the hatch of her previously locked car slightly open. A silver metal tackle box was missing. The box contained several tranquilizers, sedatives and antibiotics for horses. Clear storage drawers containing syringes and pain medications were also missing.

While engaged to a good friend of Lieutenant Governor, John Graves Simcoe, she eloped with Captain Thomas Elmes Matthews. After marriage the happy couple settled in a log cabin in Pickering Township. A highly accomplished woman, Mary’s new life contrasted greatly with her upbringing. Shocked that public education was unavailable to local children, she opened a dame school in her log home. Local girls and boys were welcomed to learn math, reading, writing and violin; as she was an accomplished violinist. Girls would also have studied mending, knitting, cooking and embroidery.

According to Pastor Gary Hodder, and the church has added about 75 members in the last year, bringing the congregation to about 1,300. The church reaches out to community through direct servic- es. “Right next door to us we have a building that houses a cloth- ing bank and also a food bank, so we’re open Wednesdays and Thursdays for patrons in the community, so we obviously serve quite a number of people who are in need,” said Pastor Hodder. The organization also runs a school, which has 160 to 200 stu- dents at any given time, and that means young families partici- pating in the church. As well, immigration has served to grow the church. Shortly after the founding of the Adventist church in the 1800s, members engaged in missionary work around the world and these days the group can be found in many parts of the world, including the Caribbean, Africa and the Philippines. “As result of all of that, with immigration, many of the people coming to Canada have an acquaintance with the denomina- tion or are Adventists themselves,” said Pastor Hodder. Immigration has also benefited the growth of the Devi Mandir Hindu temple in Pickering, which is made up mostly of people hailing from Guyana and Trinidad. Head priest Pandit Damodar Sharma said what is now a large community of more than 500 families started with just five. “This originally started here maybe over 20 years ago and they didn’t have any place at that time, they were going house to house.” The group grew and moved to renting weekly places to gather and then bought a piece of land on Brock Road in Pickering. There the members built a new temple about 12 years ago. Now it stands as a white beacon to the community. Pandit Sharma said people come from across the GTA, includ- ing Durham, Markham and Toronto, to worship there. The ser- vice includes Sanskrit and Hindi, but the discussion is con- ducted in English. He said he knows of several families who have chosen to settle in Durham Region to be closer to Devi Mandir. “Because of the temple, this area is growing now,” said Pandit Sharma. He said one of the major reasons for the temple’s success is good bookkeeping so families know their donations are spent wisely and there are no false receipts issued. “Secondly we try to keep ourselves away from politics ... we should keep the religion and God first.” Pandit Sharma said it’s important for Devi Mandir to pay attention to the basics such as being there for people who are sick or families who have lost a loved one. One of the most frequent calls is for a blessing of new homes. He said the temple gets such calls about five to 10 times a month for homes in the nearby area. Devi Mandir also reaches out to young people by wel- coming school groups for visits. There’s a Devi Mandir youth group and a special programming for children while their parents attend services. Pandit Sharma explained why it’s important to reach out to youth. “I give this example, we’re planting the seeds in the field and when the time comes, the seeds will grow. These little things will help them and guide them in the future.” He said Devi Mandir is involved in the community, occasionally visiting City Hall to give the city updates, participating in multi-faith events with people from other religious groups. Pandit Sharma himself is an honorary chaplain for Durham police. Forest Brook also participates in multi-faith and community events, explained Pastor Armstrong, and he sees a trend where government officials are starting to embrace faith partner- ships. “When faith groups can participate in the public sphere it allows people to say, ‘hey wait a min- ute, faith is an option to me’.” PICKERING -- Pandit Damodar Sharma is the head priest at Devi Mandir, a Hindu Temple on Brock Road. Immigration has helped swell the ranks of the Hindu temple with worship- pers formerly from Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.

By helping your children learn and practice good study habits, you’ll do a lot to help them succeed in school. Have a set time to settle down: By having the same start-time for homework every day, you avoid having daily battles about when it’s time to hit the books. Many families have their kids start their studies as soon as they get home from school. Others wait until after dinnertime. The key is to have a routine and to stick to it. Take a breather: Just like schools have recess, children need to have mini-breaks when they’re working hard to complete homework or projects, or studying for tests. Come up with some ﬁ ve-minute break ideas that will appeal to your child - doing stretches, playing with a pet, grabbing a glass of juice, etc. Every hour or half hour (depend- ing on your child’s age and attention span), set a timer for ﬁ ve minutes and take a break. If it’s been a particularly long study session, make it a 10-minute break. Just make sure, when the timer rings, that it’s back to work, no questions asked. Create a study space: Every family needs the basic “ingredients” for studying and doing homework: a workspace with good lighting, the tools needed to complete the work (e.g. paper, pencils, markers and ruler), basic reference material available either online or in print (dictionary, encyclopedia and atlas) and a library card for special projects. Keeping all the materials in one area makes it faster and easier to get work done. Turn off the distractions: Your child’s study area should be dis- traction-free during study/homework time. That means the TV, mu- sic and computer games should be off or out of view and earshot. Kids may say they have no trouble studying with the TV or music on, but studies show that they have trouble retaining what they’ve learned. Teach them responsibility: Children have to absolutely know that it is their responsibility to know what work has to be done and when it’s due. And of course, it’s their job to make sure they get it done correctly and on time. Make day-to-day lists: Keep track of what needs to be done by creating a daily check-off list and posting it in a prominent place (e.g. on the refrigerator). Write in things that are due the next day, as well as longer-term work (such as upcoming projects or tests). Make a big deal out of every item crossed off. Get in the “ﬂ ash card” habit: From the earliest grades on (all the way through college), students can beneﬁ t hugely from using homemade ﬂ ash cards to learn facts, spelling and math. Not only does drilling with the cards help cement the knowledge, but the act of writing down the informa- tion on the cards in the ﬁ rst place (writing the answer on one side and the question, problem or deﬁ nition on the other side) is a great learning tool. Keep a watchful eye: Although you don’t need to sit with your children while they do their homework, it helps to be nearby. They see that you’re keeping track of whether they’re daydreaming or working, they know you’ll be available if they are stumped and they learn that you care about what they’re doing-that learning is important to you, and to them.

Score two goals against the Mis- sissauga Jets. While that’s not many, in the gold medal game it was enough, as Ajax won the provincial cham- pionship in front of the home- town crowd at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre with a 2-1 victory. “It’s difficult to express in words,” said coach Jacques Trem- blay of the feeling when the final buzzer sounded early on Sunday evening, setting off a celebration. “Certainly relief is not one of them because I was very confident.” Ajax started the tournament in dominating fashion on the open- ing day Friday, beating Peterbor- ough 7-1 and Essex 7-3, to guar- antee themselves at least a semi- final berth on Sunday. The sec- ond day of the championship on Saturday wasn’t as kind to Ajax against teams from the GTHL, as Ajax played to a 2-2 tie against Humberview and fell 2-1 to Mis- sissauga. The loss to Mississauga was a little misleading, as Ajax, playing for the win and first place overall in the round robin, pulled their goalie with just over a minute to go in a 1-1 tie in an attempt to gain the victory. The move didn’t work out as Mississauga scored the winner into an empty net. “Mississauga was the best team in the round robin, no doubt about it,” acknowledged Trem- blay, adding that he was happy with his team’s play in the four games. “My specialty units were awesome. My penalty kill unit was second to none.” In the semifinals, Ajax earned a 2-1 victory over Humberview to get into the gold medal game against Mississauga. Down 1-0 in the championship game on a first-period power-play goal, Ajax’s Nick Baun tied it up late in the second and Jeff Bray had the winner in the third. It was the only time in six games during the tournament that Mis- sissauga allowed more than one goal. Ajax goaltender Matt Weston was named MVP of the tourna- ment, as the Knights won their second Ontario title in three years. Two years ago they hosted the 2009 OHF championships, winning a 2-1 overtime thrill- er over the Vaughan Rangers in the championship game. Look- ing to repeat last year, they again reached the final, only to lose 5-3 to the Mississauga Braves. “Between my goalie and penal- ty kill unit, they certainly brought the cup home for us. But it was a 24-player effort,” said Tremblay, who has coached the team the past two seasons, and was the trainer for three before that. “I think the fact that we were in the finals the last two years mattered. My older guys were very calm, telling the rookies to relax.” Tremblay and his entire coach- ing staff will be back next season, but players Brett Pankhurst, Bryan Barton, Matt Masters, James Hoff- man and Weston will not due to age graduation. Next year’s OHF championship will be held by a team from the GTHL. Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 201117 AP HOCKEY Ajax Knights OHF juvenile champs Fall 3-0 at OWHA provincial tourney BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- Forgive Wayne McDonald if he cringes at the mere mention of Mississauga. For the second time, it was the Mississauga Chiefs who ended the season of the Durham West Junior Lightning, this time at the Ontario Women’s Hockey Associ- ation provincial playdowns held over the weekend at York Univer- sity. After registering a pair of wins and loss in pool play, the Light- ning were eliminated in the open- ing playoff round, blanked 3-0 by Mississauga, who scored once in the second and added two in the third, including an empty-net goal. Mississauga went on to win the gold medal, beating Toronto 7-2, while Whitby won bronze with a 4-3 win over London. “We played Mississauga real tough,” said McDonald. “We had our chances. We just couldn’t score. “Our goal was to get out of our pool, which we did.” The Lightning opened with a 1-0 win over Nepean, then edged Brampton 2-1 later in the day Friday. On Saturday, in a game McDonald said the “wheels came off”, the Lightning lost 7-1 to Blue- water. The Lightning had a one- goal lead at one point, and the game was tied 1-1 at the end of two periods. The Lightning ran into penalty trouble, resulting in five power-play goals by Bluewa- ter. “We had a tough pool,” said McDonald. “We did what we had to do. We had to beat Brampton or Bluewater,” to move into the playoff round, which they did. The loss to Mississauga was the same fate the Lightning encoun- tered in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League playoffs. After upsetting Whitby in the opening round, the Lightning were swept in three straight games by Missis- sauga in the quarter-finals. The Ontario championship weekend is an added bonus for teams in the provincial loop, who regularly play two 15-min- ute periods and a 20-minute third period, with a flood between the second and third. This past week- end, games were three 12-minute periods with no flood. All in all, McDonald described the past season as “excellent,” praising the work of his staff. “I thought the season was great. I though we over-achieved with what our goals were. Most impor- tantly, 10 of our players are leav- ing to play at a higher level, and we’re going to have a good team next year. All is good.” Tryouts for next year’s team will be held April 18-20. HOCKEY Durham West Junior Lightning foiled by Mississauga again CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND AJAX -- The thrill of scoring the first goal of the game against the Peterborough Nationals in the round robin Friday was written on the face of Nick Baun, of the Ajax Knights, as he accepted congratulations from his teammates. Ajax won the Ontario Hockey Federation championship on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Mississauga at the Ajax Community Centre. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 201118 AP APRIL 13, 2011 Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

A forgettable first period saw the Niagara IceDogs jump out of the gate and grab a 2-0 lead less than three minutes in, then extend their advantage to 4-0 later in the period, setting the stage for a 5-3 Generals loss in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Niagara now leads the series two games to one heading into Game 4 tonight, 7:05, at the Gen- eral Motors Centre. Ryan Strome scored just 1:03 in, followed by Simon Gronvaldt just over a min- ute later, while Andrew Agozzino and Darren Archibald added their own later in the frame as part of a 16-shot barrage on Oshawa netminder Peter Di Salvo. Simply put, the Generals came out flat and couldn’t recover. “Certainly, I think in the first period, they had what I would deem a little more urgency than we did and I think they capitalized on their chances,” coach and GM Chris DePiero said in reflection on Tuesday. “As the game went on we certainly got better and started playing our game a little bit more but we fell behind the eight ball with respect to that and played catch-up.” In playing catch-up, the Generals outshot the Ice- Dogs 36-17 over the final two periods, 49-33 all told, and outscored them 3-1. And though it sounds simple, 40 minutes is far from a complete hock- ey game. While DePie- ro believes his team was receptive to that message between the first and sec- ond periods on Monday, it’s a point he’ll continue to hammer home lead- ing into and throughout tonight as they look to avoid falling behind 3-1 in the series. That would leave them on the cusp of elimination heading into Game 5 Friday in St. Cath- arines. “At this stage of the sea- son, it’s not about yelling and screaming, it’s just about getting our guys to understand the mes- sage,” he said. “We need to make sure that we’re fully understanding that it’s a 60-minute hockey game.” On the plus side, Oshawa showed the same bounce- back ability they have on many a night this sea- son. The early deficit put them down, but far from out, and they kept pound- ing away at the IceDogs, scratching back to within a goal inside the final min- ute before Agozzino’s sec- ond of the game into an empty net sealed it. Heading into tonight, with the message clear SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals’ Calvin de Haan tried to get control of the puck, dur- ing Game 2 of the OHL Eastern Conference semifinal against the Niagara IceDogs at the General Motors Centre on Saturday. The Generals won 6-4, but lost 5-3 in Niagara on Monday. and concise to his team, DePiero hopes to get back to the basic premise that allowed for the team’s suc- cess in winning the open- ing round against Kings- ton and skating out of Game 2 last Saturday with a win. “I think the biggest thing is we have to manage what we do and what we do well,” he said. “When we do that, and have that focus, we can be a pret- ty good team. Sometimes that focus as opposed to narrower becomes wider and we have to narrow that focus for each shift.” BASEBALL Durham trio named to junior national baseball roster Spring training camp opens April 20 in Florida DURHAM -- Three Dur- ham Region baseball play- ers are included among 32 players named to the junior National Team roster that will compete at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Florida from April 20-30. Among those on the ros- ter are pitchers Michael Foster of Pickering and Ryan Kellogg of Whitby, as well as infielder Joey Hawkins of Whitby. Another Whitby resident, Rob Butler, will serve as a guest coach. The annual spring train- ing camp will feature daily practices along with eight exhibition contests against affiliated MLB clubs. Included on the schedule is a match-up against the extended spring training club of the Toronto Blue Jays on April 25 in Dune- din, Florida. “This camp will allow our coaching staff the oppor- tunity to evaluate all play- ers in a highly competitive environment,” says Greg Hamilton, Baseball Can- ada’s director of nation- al teams and manager of the junior national team. “The strides taken at this camp will better prepare our team for success inter- nationally at future com- petitions, including the upcoming Americas world junior qualifier.” For the players, the train- ing camp will not only offer them the chance to repre- sent their country while improving their skills, but will also provide plen- ty of exposure, as several college and professional scouts will use the train- ing camp as an opportu- nity for talent evaluation. The spring training camp is an important step in the process as the team will attempt to qualify for the 2012 world junior baseball championship, scheduled for Seoul, South Korea, at the Americas world junior qualification tournament in Cartagena, Colom- bia from September 23 to October 2. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 13, 201119 AP TrusteeTrustee InIn BankruptcyBankruptcy TrusteeTrustee InIn BankruptcyBankruptcy James R.Yanch OSHAWA 215SimcoeSt.N. 905-721-7506 AJAX 50CommercialAve. 905-619-1473 Saturday & Evening Appt.’s Available FREE CONSULTATION www.jamesryanch.com Advice on Proposals, Bankruptcy & Alternatives “Lets find solutions together!” Over 20 Years Experience BY APPT.

Bowmanville native executive producer of Jim Richards show BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- Tim Preston is hoping the land- scape of sports talk radio, especially morning drive time, will change with the launch of TSN Radio. The Bowmanville native is the executive producer of the Mike Richards morning show that debuted on the dial at 1050 on Wednes- day, April 13, following the sports update at 5:30 a.m. Men between the ages of 25-54 are the demographic he and Richards are most interested in. “We want people to laugh and that whole feeling of ‘I want to hang out with these guys for a while.’ That’s what we’re trying to cre- ate,” he says of the new station and specifical- ly his program. Preston, 46, moved from Alberta to Toronto in early March to start working and prepar- ing for the launch of TSN Radio. His wife and two kids will join him when school is done, possibly in Whitby once he finds a home. The opportunity to work with TSN and be involved in a project like this was just too good an opportunity to pass up. “I haven’t called a single person since I arrived here who hasn’t openly embraced the opportunity to be with TSN Radio,” he says of the reputation the TSN brand has in Canada. “When it comes to this type of ven- ture, even though it’s something they have never really done, there are people who want to get involved because they have respect for what TSN has stood for and accomplished.” The road to where he’s at now has been a long one. After moving on from Bowmanville High School, Preston spent three years at Ryerson where he graduated from the radio and television arts program. His first job was with Global, where he was hired by Jim Tatti to produce the Saturday Sportsline show. Ironically, Tatti will be on TSN Radio in the 7-9 p.m. time slot. Preston’s resume includes stops at TSN for seven years, then The Score for five years, 15 months at Team Radio and most recently he was in sales and marketing for the Calgary Soccer Centre, the largest indoor soccer facil- ity in North America. Along the way, he became close friends with Richards and after 26 years considers him a brother. “To have an opportunity to work with your best friend and to have some fun doing it and be forming the task we are about to do is an opportunity I couldn’t turn down,” says Pres- ton. The TSN brand, coupled with the oppor- tunity to tap into the Bell media resources, including Canada AM, ETalk, MuchMusic and CP24, will allow the newest radio station on the dial to hit the ground running. “One thing we’re confident of is no one will touch us in terms of the quality of our guests,” notes Preston. “It’s not just about sports. Men go to movies, they watch TV, they listen to music. So all those things are just a part of what we hope to present to people.” Plans are in place to simulcast the radio program on television beginning in June on TSN2.

GIFFORD, Evelyn Dorothy "Dot" - (Resident of Ajax and Bowmanville; retired from Chrysler-Ajax Trim Plant in 1978) Peacefully at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa, on Sunday, April 10, 2011, at the age of 82, surrounded by her family, Dorothy Gifford, beloved wife of the late James, entered eternity. Survived by her sons: Laurence (Inta), David (Nancy), and Frank (Rebecca), 11 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren with number 7 on the way. Dorothy was born in Liverpool, England, in 1929 the sixth of nine children. She married James Gifford in 1949. The couple, together with their ﬁ rst child, Laurence, emigrated to Canada, settling in Toronto in 1952. David arrived in 1957 and later that year the family moved to Ajax wher Frank was born in 1960 to complete the family. Dorothy worked for many years at the Chrysler-Ajax Trim Plant, retiring in 1978 when her husband James passed away. She continued to live in Ajax until 1989, at which point she moved to Bowmanville. Dorothy always had an enduring love for music. She came from a very musical family and she passed that love of music on to her own children and grandchildren. Throughout her life Dorothy was entirely devoted to her family. Her love for her family knew no bounds. Her family returned that love and she will be dearly missed by everybody. The family will receive friends at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Pickering Village, (Ajax) 905-428-8488 on Wednesday April 13th from 2-4 & 7-9pm. The funeral service will be held in the chapel on Thursday April 14, 2011 at 11:00am. In lieu of ﬂ owers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.Online con- dolences may be placed at www.mceachniefuneral.ca NEIL, Mary Anita, February 9, 1940 - April 12, 2011. Retired From General Motors 1958- 1994 (Wiring and Harness and later the Rim Department). Suddenly passed away at Lakeridge Health Oshawa in her 72nd year. Beloved mother to Christopher Neil (Annette) of Hamilton and loving grandmother to Jessica, Paige and Taylor. Cherished big sister to Maureen (Gord) Stevens, Margaret (Bruce) Johnson, John Neil, Michael (Laurie) Neil and Jackie (Maurice) Carmen. Mary will be sadly missed by her many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Her dog Mandy and all the rest of Mary's animal friends will miss the special attention and cuddles she was always willing to share. A celebration of Mary's Life will be held at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 5295 Thickson Rd. N. Whitby 905-655-3662 on Friday April 15th from 11:00 - 1:00pm. A private interment will follow at Groveside Cemetery. If desired, memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Epilepsy Canada would be appreciated. Message of condolence are welcome at www.barnesmemorialfuneralhome.com PROVOST - DESJARDINS, Marlene Cecile - Feb 17, 1956 – Feb 17, 2011 - Marlene was born the daughter of Fernande (Rioux) Provost and Leonard Provost. Raised in Timmins Ontario, Marlene married Dan Desjardins in Calgary, June of 1982. They eventually moved to Pickering where they resided until Marlene’s untimely death in a car accident that claimed her life the morning of her birthday this past Feb 17th. Standing a full 4’ 11” Mar was anything but small: she was a positive force – a powerhouse - who loved and lived life fully. A loving and dedicated Mother to Kane Prudhomme of Ottawa, Marlene will be remembered for her ability to believe in others and inspire to be the best that one can be. She had an infectious laugh and a smile that drew people in. Defying gravity to the end nothing could hold her down. She rose to every occasion seizing every opportunity to experience the best that people and circumstances had to offer. She inspired through action as well as words. This evidenced time and again through her tenacity and discipline: Mar earned her black belt in tae kwon do, climbed the CN tower in record times to raise money for the United Way on more than one occasion, and was an advocate for living green. A great day in Mar’s World would be spending time by the campﬁ re with good friends, family, her dog Bear, good tunes, lots of laughs, good conversation and a cold brew in hand. Beloved wife of Dan, Mother to Kane, Marlene is survived by her mother Fernande, of Amos Quebec, loving sister Micheline (John) Duchesne of Porcupine, Robert (Sue) of Charlyn Lake, Nicole Ruest (Geatan) of Rimouski, Quebec, and many nieces and nephews. She will be sadly missed and never forgotten. Family and Friends are welcome to attend a Mass and Memorial Service for Marlene which will be held at 10:30am on June 4, 2011 at ST. ISAAC JOGUES ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, at 1148 Finch Ave., Pickering Ontario. Donations to the Animal Humane Society in lieu of ﬂ owers beﬁ t Marlene’s genuine love of animals and her concern over their well being. “Our lives will never be the same without you Babe, but we will always be reminded by the Inspirations you have left us with.” ROSE, Elmer - Peacefully at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital on April 10, 2011 in his 92nd year. Survived by his children Keith (Pam) and Janice (Joe). Will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by his family and friends. Dad was a proud WWII veteran and member of the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 322 who served in the Armed Forces and saw active duty in Africa, Holland, Italy, Eng- land and Germany. In keeping with Dad's wishes, there will be no funeral services. Dad will be laid to rest with his family in Mt. Albert, Ontario. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 322. Arrangements entrusted to the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME 905-428- 8488.
