The late Ms. Hallett was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after giving birth to twin girls on Valentine’s Day in 1990, a timely arrival that earned the family a photo in the local newspa- per. “Everyone was excited because it was twins that arrived on Valentine’s Day, how special is that?” recalls Philip Hallett, noting that their hap- piness turned to sorrow soon afterward. “It was a long journey, because first Gerry went for chemotherapy and then there was counsel- ling so it was all downhill for about two years, it was very trying.” Mom’s dying wish leads to happiness PICKERING FAMILY LOOKS BACK ON TRAGIC LOSS 20 YEARS LATER JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- The Hallett family was featured in the News Advertiser shortly before Geraldine Hallett’s death from breast cancer in 1992.

Sixty charged province-wide on more than 200 charges JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Three Durham Region men are among dozens of suspects arrested in a sweeping province-wide crackdown on child pornography. Durham police assisted in the arrests of men in Pickering, Oshawa and Bowmanville as part of the operation, led by Ontario Provincial Police. Police have charged 60 men with more than 200 offences including sexual assault, child luring and possession, distribution and accessing child porn. Police said 22 victims were identi- fied during the investigation, and that weapons and drugs were seized during searches related to the probe. “Child pornography is the sexual abuse of children,” act-ing OPP Commissioner Scott Tod said in outlining details of the inves- tigation Thursday. “Every image of child pornogra- phy represents a child victim. Every trad- ing or trans- mission of that image represents a re-victimization of that child.” More than 20 police services took part in what police described as a co-ordi- nated effort to combat the accessing and distribution of child porn, a crime per- petuated by online sharing and trading of images. Police said they had identi- fied nearly 9,000 IP addresses, including users in Durham, suspected of having been used recently to download child porn. “We’ve noticed the num- bers are steadi- l y increas- ing,” said OPP Detec- tive Sergeant Frank Gold- schmidt. “We have to keep up with tech- nology. It changes every day.” Although the 60 suspects identified Thursday were swept up in a co-ordi- nated effort, police aren’t alleging they were part of an organized community, Det.-Sgt. Goldschmidt said. “It’s too early to tell if these people are connected to one another,” he said. “At this point it looks like they were all oper- ating individually.” The investigation leading to the arrests required “weeks of legwork” from par- ticipating officers, he said. And the investigation isn’t over, Det.- Sgt. Goldschmidt said. “We anticipate there will be several more charged,” he said. Among those charged are three Dur- ham residents: • Earl Everett Pond, 52, of Pickering, is charged with one count each of pos- session, making, accessing and making available child pornography. • Beverly Joe Gilbert, 35, of Oshawa, faces three counts -- possession, making available and accessing child porn. • Thomas Hardcastle, 22, of Bowmanville, is charged with one count each of possession, accessing and mak- ing available child pornography. All three suspects have already appeared in court, police said. CrIME Three Durham men caught up in massive child porn bust Cops corner three suspects in possession of over-the-counter drugs PICKERING -- A trio of suspected shop- lifters sprayed a retail employee with mace while fleeing a Pickering store last week. But the escape was short-lived, as offi- cers closed in on the suspects as they tried to escape in a vehicle, Durham police said. The incident began at about 2 p.m. Jan. 27 when two workers at a Brock Road store pursued three suspected shoplift- ers into the parking lot, Durham police said. As they were getting into a vehicle, one of the suspects sprayed a worker with a “mace-type” aerosol spray. Responding officers stopped the vehi- cle on westbound Hwy. 401, taking two suspects into custody. A third suspect fled on foot but was busted by police nearby, trying to get into a taxi. Cops recovered stolen merchandise, including several hundred dollars worth of over-the-counter drugs. The employee who was sprayed wasn’t hurt. Three Toronto residents -- Noah Tyr- rell-Malcolm, 31, Honey Morris, 36, and 47-year-old Stephen Reynolds -- are charged with robbery and possession of stolen property. Mr. Reynolds is also charged with administering a noxious thing, weapon possession and breach of probation. poLICE Mace sprayed in Pickering shoplifting incident 10DIFFERENTFLAVOURSTOCHOOSEFROM (SPECIALCOMBOS AVAILABLE)(SPECIALCOMBOS AVAILABLE) 550 Finch Ave., Pickering Chicken, Pizza,Ta cos, Catering &Party Orders 20Wings $12.00 905-421-9421 SUPERBOWLSPECIAL!SUPERBOWLSPECIAL!

The suit was eventually settled in Mr. Hallett’s favour but the fight lasted five years, drag- ging on three years after his wife’s death. “It took a lot out of me, it started immedi- ately after the twins were born and we had to go to court,” he recalls. “I had to sell my car to pay for a lawyer and take on debt. I’m still bitter about it, but maybe one day I’ll make it into a movie.” Ms. Hallett requested an interview with the News Advertiser shortly before her death on Valentine’s Day, 1992 -- the twins’ sec- ond birthday -- to deliver a message about the importance of breast cancer research. “She had a goal to make it to see the twins’ second birthday and she did,” said Mr. Hal- lett of his late wife, choking up at the memo- ry. “It’s still sad.” At his side, ready with a comforting word or touch, was Mr. Hallett’s second wife, Rebecca Hallett. She had become a member of the family when the Halletts hired her as a nanny for the twins. She became so close to the late Ms. Hallett that the ailing woman told her husband he should marry her after she died. “We were like sisters,” Ms. Hallett said. “Before she died Gerry talked to me and told me I was the best thing to come into their life, because I looked after her. And I’m still looking after her now.” For daughter Sarah Hallett, memories of her mother come mostly from pictures. “I don’t remember her at all, but I love that my Dad loved taking photos of her, so I always had a lot of pictures that I would look at growing up,” she said. Now 22, Sarah is studying human resourc- es at Centennial College. Her twin, Donna, is currently completing a work term as part of engineering studies at Waterloo Univer- sity and elder sister Laura resides in Alberta with her husband. “We were lucky because we still had a Mom,” Sarah said of Ms. Hallett. Ms. Hallett agrees, calling the whole clan, including two of her children from a previ- ous relationship, “a big happy family. “I raised them from when they were 11 months so they’re like my own,” she said of the twins. “I raised them with good morals and dis- cipline, they’re really good kids. We all just live a simple, happy life. But we hold on to the memories, we always remember.” Mr. Hallett, looking back at that long- ago photo, says it’s hard to believe how far they’ve come. “When she died I was in all this debt from our legal fight and I had three girls to raise, including two-year-old twins, things seemed impossible,” he recalls. “But life continues and you make a new chap- ter. This is really a whole new chapter and we will keep moving forward and being happy.” PICKERING from page 1 community Pickering family overcomes tragedy sabrina byrnes / metroland baby talk fun at Pickering library PICKERING -- Claire Wales, 10 months, in the arms of her mother Christa, as she bounced around recently during Baby Talk, a program at the Pickering Central Library for parents and their babies to come and participate in songs and books. Tory crime bill Mandatory minimum sentences questioned To the editor: Re: ‘Tory crime bill essential’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Dec. 14, 2011. Although the letter writer may be correct in saying that our society doesn’t have pub- lic morality anymore, he is wrong in believ- ing that mandatory minimum sentences will protect our society. Mandatory minimum sentences only delay the inevitable; some criminals who have entered the criminal justice system because of minor crimes have become even more dangerous criminals. They are more likely to commit the same crime again, or worse; commit more serious offences, because of the prolonged environment in which they associated with even more hardened criminals. If indeed the “rest is up to us”, don’t we owe it to the children of our society to enact better and more creative policies that work, especially when past studies have already established that the same policies we use over and over again, don’t? Matthew Fawcett Oshawa PoliTics Harper has contempt for Canadians, Parliament To the editor: The prime minister has taken his disre- spect and disregard for Parliament and the Canadian people to new levels. He is now announcing Canadian govern- ment policy initiatives to the international community rather than to Parliament. Announcing pension reform initiatives at the Davos conference highlights the fact that he doesn’t give a damn about Parlia- ment or Canadians. If he wanted to implement major reform in the guaranteed income security or the income supplement pension plans, why did he not announce these as policy initia- tives during the recent election? Canadians have to get rid of this dictator and his party of neo-cons. Bill Longworth Oshawa reGioN No need to send Durham politicians on trips To the editor: Re: ‘Sending politicians to China, Bra- zil, France part of Durham’s $1.3-million investment plan’, news, durhamregion.com, Jan. 14, 2012. At first blush it would appear the director of economic development and tourism is making a feeble attempt to justify her exis- tence. She is quoted as saying, “Being this aggressive is something new and it’s some- thing we need to do.” Something new? On what planet has the director been living? Trade missions have been going on for decades but usually at the federal or provincial level. Sending local politicians to France, California, Bra- zil, China and Germany would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. We have already paid the tab for council- lors to travel to Germany and other coun- tries with nothing to show for it. Further- more, few if any of Durham’s politicians or staff know anything about international trade or encouraging foreign investment. This ridiculous idea is nothing more than the culture of entitlement rearing its ugly head once again. Pickering Councillor Jennifer O’Connell noted in the article that the public tends to have issues when politicians attend trade missions like this, especially if we can’t show anything for it. She is absolutely correct; we do have issues, especially when the Region sup- posedly cannot afford a traffic light at a dangerous intersection or repair decay- ing infrastructure and constantly raise our taxes, but somehow magically finds $1.3 million for the gravy train to leave the sta- tion or airport. There is no need for such extravagant trips when we have remarkable real-time communications through the Internet and other forms of networking rather than going on a sight-seeing tour of overseas destinations. The director should shake her head, do a little more reading and less daydreaming about exotic places, unless, of course, she is willing to spend her own money. J.H.

Durham taxpayers have paid between $80,000 and $100,000 per year for the last 14 years to the organization -- a public-pri- vate partnership of municipalities, govern- ments, non-profits and private sector cor- porations -- to attract international invest- ment. The disappointing result -- zero on-the- ground investment in any Durham munic- ipality -- must give Regional councillors pause as they consider the future. The Region has been seriously consid- ered by firms on a couple of occasions and once was short-listed for investment by a wind energy company, but that’s as close as the investment effort has come. And frankly, the empty rationalizations offered by politicians and staff this week -- such as the benefits of “indirect invest- ment” by firms that open elsewhere in the GTA and then use suppliers or services in Durham -- simply aren’t good enough. The annual investment is sent to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, not the Greater Toronto Ancillary Suppliers and Services Alliance. At any rate and by any measure, the cumulative $1.4 million spent over the last 14 years by Durham Region has essentially served surrounding municipalities far more effectively than it has Durham. Now, it must be said that firms will choose where they’ll relocate based on a variety of factors that serve their business. The GTMA’s primary role is to provide the data and information that companies need as they consider their options. Still, the disproportionate amount of investment going to other areas of the GTA raises questions. To that end, we encourage Durham pol- iticians to bring far greater scrutiny to the GTMA’s efforts as they relate to the region and ensure that taxpayers are getting value for their annual contribution to the orga- nization. What exactly is the GTMA doing to promote Durham internationally? How is it measured? What can be done here at home to improve the region’s appeal? What resources and expertise can be brought to bear to better leverage Durham as a pre- ferred region for businesses to relocate? Finally, there must come a point where, in the absence of any positive, measur- able return on the annual investment, the Region will have to reconsider and rede- ploy those funds where they can be put to better use. In the simplest terms, it will take lead- ership and consensus to say enough is enough. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Fe b r u a r y 3 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP 60” vanity and doublesink top $595Reg$1195 OnSale $299Reg$599 $195OnSaleOnSale ISI quartz sinks DUAL FLUSH TOILETSDUAL FLUSH TOILETS OnSale •Excellent flush •Low water consumption •White •Excellent flush •Low water consumption •White 48”X36” FRAMELESS GLASSSHOWER DOOR AND BASE “60” solid woodvanity top and sinks 42” vanity and marble top Reg $1495 OnSale Reg $1495$999 OnSale Reg $1099$799 Now Reg $1895 $799 $799 $999 $299 36”x36” Corner Shower“24 to 30” solid wood vanities •Rain Shower •6 Body Jets •Handspray •Frameless Tempered Glass FREESTANDING TUBS Starting From On SaleStarting at 41”X41”SHOWERALSO ONSALE Reg $1895 Durham kitchen & bath Durham kitchen & bath Mon and Tue 9-5:30 • Wed, Thurs, Fri 9-8 • Sat 10-5 and Sun 10-4 The Intelligent Choice 18˝ high OnSale $495 Walk-In Tub $2995NOWReg$5995 •29”wx38” high & the widths are 54 3/4” and also 58 3/4”•100% acrylic •Therapeutic & whirlpool jets •Double Drain systems for fast drain 15%rebate OnSale GUARANTEEDLOWESTPRICESONSOLIDWOODVANITIES!

Gardening event features vendors, speakers Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Green thumbs yearning for spring can get their garden on at Pickering’s Seedy Saturday event. The annual gardening event will feature guest speakers, seeds for swap and sale, a vendors’ area and refreshments at the Seedy Cafe. Guest speakers include Laurence Pack- er, professor of biology at York University, on ‘The Plight of Bees,’ and Wild Ontario, which will be bringing along birds of prey for a dem- onstration. Vendors include the Cottage Garden- er, Green Side Up Environmental Services, Urban Harvest, Bee Wearables and more. Local horticultural societies and community garden groups will also be on hand. The event is part of a nationwide Seedy Sat- urday initiative organized by Seeds of Diver- sity, a volunteer organization that conserves the biodiversity and traditional knowledge of food crops and garden plants and seeks to raise awareness about gardening, the envi- ronment and the importance of saving older seed varieties. The local Seedy Saturday event is organized by the Pickering Museum Village’s heritage gardening club, Bloomers and Britches. The volunteer group researches, plans, plants and maintains the historically accurate gar- dens at the museum. “This ties in with how pioneers would have grown their plants so it fits in really well with us,” said Mandy Smiles, event programmer for the museum. “We try to have a heritage component but it’s also about organic and natural garden- ing. We get an interesting mix of vendors and guest speakers so it’s always a good event.” The fifth annual Seedy Saturday will be held Saturday, Feb. 4 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the east and west salons of the Pickering Rec- reation Complex at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. For more information, or to join Bloomers and Britches, contact Ms. Smiles at 905-683-8401 ext. 3715 or e-mail msmiles@pickering.ca.

Francis centre mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- iLove, a funny look at dating in the 21st century, is com- ing to Ajax for an afternoon show. Second City presents the play, described as “a romantic dot comedy,” on Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. at the St. Francis Centre. “It’s kind of a look at how peo- ple date now,” says cast member Craig Brown. “It’s almost like a parody of eHarmony.” The Toronto resident explains that iLove follows a couple through their relationship, “fall- ing in love and finally saying those words and getting engaged and married.” They are interviewed along with two other singles look- ing for love. Brown is one of the latter, describing his character, Edrick, as a nerdy Star Trek type. “I’m just kind of a guy who’s clueless when it comes to women and would rather make out with an invisible woman,” he says. He says the subject matter is ripe for comedy. “What’s happening with online dating is it gets so individualized, you can break someone down to a category,” says Brown. “You see throughout the show how people are very specific about what they want but will also do anything for love.” The show is mainly scripted, but he notes there are opportuni- ties for the cast members to play around a bit by going into the audience, including “one real- ly great scene that has audience interaction.” It also features a video compo- nent where Second City alumnus Fred Willard (This is Spinal Tap, Everyone Loves Raymond) plays a guy who works at iLove and coaches the characters. Brown explains that iLove is a combination of different sketches from Second City in Toronto and Chicago that have been compiled into one play. Brown is a multi-talented per- former and a member of The Second City’s National Touring Company. He co-founded the award-winning sketch comedy troupes The Sketchersons and Bull Hooey, which have garnered laughs at Just For Laughs Toronto and other festivals. He has appeared on TV in Rook- ie Blue, Dan For Mayor, Almost Heroes and The Jon Dore Televi- sion Show. He also writes and at present is pitching a stand-up comedy show. “I think in Canadian show biz you kind of have to do a bit of everything,” Brown says. iLove also features Stacey McGunnigle, Allison Price and Sean Tebares. Tickets are available at the St. Francis Centre box office, 78 Church St. S., Ajax, and at the Ajax and McLean community centres.

The PineRidge Arts Council certain- ly has spring on the brain as it’s issued a call for artists, crafters and performers to take part in Artfest on the Esplanade. The event, held in partnership with the City of Pickering, is set for May 26 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Esplanade Park, behind Pickering City Hall. “This annual outdoor art show and sale is celebrating its 16th year and will feature the work of over 80 visual artists and crafters from across the province,” states a press release. Visual artists are invited to show and sell their work at Artfest. The deadline for artists to register is April 5. In addition to showing their talents at the gazebo, performing artists are invited to exhibit and promote their organization. Those new to the event must include a demo tape with their application. Community dance studios, choirs, orchestras and theatre groups are all welcome to apply for an exhibit space at the event to promote their organization.

OSHAWA -- We asked Deanna Lewis, a composing staff member at Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division, to choose the winners in our Megadeth tickets contest. It was appropriate for two reasons: Deanna loves hard rock ‘n’ roll and many of the more than 100 entries in our contest came from women. Fittingly, the first name Deanna picked at random was Sheila Willis of Oshawa, who responded with a hearty “really awesome!!!” when we passed on the news. The second winner is Steve Proceviat of Oshawa. Each wins a pair of tickets to the Feb. 7 show at Oshawa’s General Motors Centre, also featuring Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil.

COLUMN Pickering artist rising like a phoenix from the ashes Pickering artist Blanka Hudu-Brej- cha admits she has a “rebellious” personality -- this in spite of being born and raised in the (then) repressive Communist state of Czechoslovakia. Her natural ability to draw and acute artistic sensibilities were initially thwarted by family and “the state,” but training in anima- tion and contact with other under- ground artists in her native land kept the creative spark alive. It also helped carry her through to a career as a commercial artist there and, more recently, as a merchan- dising designer and fine artist here in Canada. But, back in Europe, after years in a state-controlled animation employment studio and a mar- riage that produced two girls, but didn’t survive, Hudu-Brejcha landed a prestigious job as an art director in a multi-national adver- tising agency in her newly democ- ratized country. Connecting with an advertising executive in Can- ada, she came here is 1994 for a new life and new marriage. Again, however, the fates con- spired to bring her down, as the marriage imploded and, after suf- fering through several years of working menial jobs, she found herself, literally, living in her car. Gathering herself up, phoenix- like, she landed a position as a merchandising/display specialist at Ikea and established a home in Pickering. With a more settled and comfort- able life situation, her latent inter- est in fine art finally got a chance to flower. She took up acrylic paint- ing that reflected her monumen- tal struggles to survive and pros- per -- the initial works being dark and graphic “rocks-in-the-way- of-happiness” depictions, done in a style recalling her anima- tion pictorial roots. Discovering the dynamic Durham arts com- munity, she joined the PineRidge Arts Council, involved herself in the newly established SilverStone Gallery and was talked into sub- mitting a piece to the Oshawa Art Association juried show this past June, winning first prize in acryl- ics. Now the phoenix is truly in flight. And she is chafing at the bit to get to the “thousands of ideas” for paintings that circle in her head. A Czech compatriot has invited her to discuss involvement in her gal- lery in Toronto’s Distillery District. The future shines brightly for the rebellious creative soul who has washed up on our shores. To connect with Hudu-Brejcha, e-mail her at blanka.b.hudu@rog- ers.com.

Herongate Barn Dinner The- atre presents When The Cats Away By Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke Jan. 27 to March 17. “Based on a very popular Brit- ish sitcom, this riotously funny play is classic British sex farce,” states a press release. “When Mildred and Ethel go off on a trip to Paris, the mice will play.

Well, you know already what happens next... the wives come home prematurely.” The cast features Chris Cole of Scarborough as George Roper, Marion Reid-Clarke of Courtice as Mildred Roper, Margaret St. John-Francies and Paul Fran- cies of Stouffville as Ethel Pom- frey and Humphrey Pomfrey, Barb Frigault of Whitby as Jen- nifer Frazer and Elizabeth Hold- en of Oshawa as Shirley.

Gord Norton plays lead, second is Warren Leslie, Bob Turcotte skips and Roy Weigand is vice. The team is playing out of Scar- borough Golf and Curling Club. In the regional, they lost the A side final, went to the B side and won it, and now they advance to the Ontario finals Feb. 22-26 at the Simcoe Curling Club. One of eight teams there will represent the province at the Canadian finals March 17-24 in Abbotsford, B.C. The annual Robbie Burns Fun- spiel on Jan. 28 went well at Annandale. Barb Godfrey’s team scored a rare eight ender. First place in the bonspiel was Team Joly, sec- ond went to Team Anderson, and there was a three-way tie for third to teams McPherson, Fer- ris and Knautz. Everyone had a great time, the food was great, ice was good, bar staff was wonder- ful and everyone liked the priz- es. An Annandale bantam boys’ team is headed for the Ontario curling finals in Galt Feb. 8-11. Team members are Andre Lima with Evan Heaslip, Dylan Pierce, David Dearness and coach Renee Lalonde. Last Sunday at youth curling, the team was presented with a cheque to assist them with funds for the provincial. A ladies’ Olympic Skins bon- spiel is on the calendar for Feb. 11. It includes a continental breakfast, two eight-end games, lunch and cash prizes. The organizers are looking for more entries. The Gore Mutual schoolgirls’ regional playdown is to be held at the Toronto Granite Club this weekend. Four Annandale mem- bers who curl for Pickering High School will be competing. The team consists of Nicole Garden- er, Kaitlin Jewer, Vanessa Aune, and Alison Gardener with teach- er/coach Ms. Gorecki. Jim Easson curling Plenty ahead on the schedule for some Annandale curlers Curling Major SerieS laCroSSe Rock adds some offence to the fold new ajax gM and head coach Clem D’orazio addresses team’s needs BraD Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- In his first go-round at the Major Series Lacrosse draft table, the new GM/head coach of the Ajax Rock figures he fared pretty well. The game plan going in for Clem D’Orazio was to improve the team’s offence which scored just 147 goals in 20 games last season. To address that, eight of the 10 players selected on Sat- urday in Whitby are offensive- minded. “I was looking to revamp the offence and I think we did that,” said D’Orazio. “That’s some- thing we need to work on and continue to work on with our team. That’s what we were lack- ing our last couple of seasons.” With the first overall selection, the Rock picked Shayne Jack- son from the Minto Cup-win- ning Whitby Warriors. Last sea- son Jackson scored 31 goals and added 53 assists for 84 points in 18 games at the Jr. A level. “Shayne is a natural winner,” said D’Orazio of the top pick in the draft. “He’s played with a good group of players who know how to win, so that’s what we’re hoping he brings to the table with us.” With the third and sixth picks of the first round, D’Orazio went with a couple of players familiar to him through his coaching ties with Brock University -- Craig England and Kyle Davis. England has also hoisted the Minto Cup, twice with Orange- ville in 2008, 2009, and finished last season with 40 points on 20 goals and just as many assists. “He’s a great team guy and he also brings that winning men- tality that we need in Ajax this season,” said D’Orazio. In Davis, the Rock pick up another sniper and leader, as he collected 79 points on 23 goals and 56 assists last season with Brampton. “He brings an offensive game every time he comes out,” said D’Orazio. “He’s a natural lead- er as he did for Brampton for so many years as their captain. Hopefully we can build on his leadership skills.” In total, the three first-round picks bring 203 points with them from Jr. A last season. In the second round, the Rock had just one pick, selecting Tyler Tanguay, who had 20-46- 66 points totals in St. Catha- rines last season. The third round produced Tyler Walsh of St. Catharines (47-34-81), Mar- tin Whitaker of Mississauga (22- 22-44) and defenceman Con- nor Daily from Burlington (4-8- 12). D’Orazio then went to the Jr. B ranks for his last pick in the third round and only pick in the fourth, selecting Cade Zulak and Brandon Muise respective- ly. Zulak (23-33-56) played for the Ajax Ironheads last season, while Muise (43-71-114) was a member of the Clarington Green Gaels. In the fifth and final round, the Rock grabbed goaltender Cam- eron Watts, who had an 8-6-0 record with an 8.97 goals against average and .801 save percent- age with St. Catharines last sea- son. The Rock protected Aaron Brown, who played just 11 games with Orangeville last season, and swung a trade with Peterborough, sending the fourth overall pick in 2011, Andrew Suitor, to the Lakers for goaltender Tye Belanger, a 2012 first-round pick that they used on Davis, and a 2014 first-round pick. ryan Pfeiffer / MetrolanD file Photo AJAX -- The Ajax Rock added some much needed offensive talent during the Major Series Lacrosse draft to help out the likes of Jason Mainer, shown here last summer against Six Nations. PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so why not treat that special someone to a different kind of diamond this year? At Diamond Shine, they will have your vehicle looking brand new and they have gift certificates available just in time for Valentine’s Day! “For that special person in your life, why not purchase a gift certificate for any of our packages and ask about customizing a detailing package that’s right for your vehicle? Save the back breaking work to us,” says Joanne Elawar of Diamond Shine. “We offer a wide variety of packages starting from as low as $19.95.” Winter is a great time to protect your vehicle from the elements - inside and out! A Diamond Shine wax will not only bring back your vehicle’s shine, it will also help protect it from the harsh winter elements. Salt, slush and snow can also damage your vehicle’s upholstery, which is why it’s a great idea to have the fabric protected. After the fabric has been cleaned, a fabric protection is applied, which will help repel stains and salt, preventing damage. It’s called detailing for a reason. At Diamond Shine, their showroom package leaves no small space untouched. To achieve a showroom look, they use toothbrushes and Q-Tips to get to the hard to reach areas. They only use the best products, to ensure superior results. Diamond Shine is open all year round, and winter is a good time to avoid the local car wash. Winter brings slush, snow and ice cold temperatures. Before you head through the local car wash, remember that the water left on your vehicle will freeze when you get back on the road Bring your vehicle into Diamond Shine for a wash, where it will be hand washed and chamois dried, all jambs will be dried and the locks will be blown dry! “We want to thank everyone for putting their trust in us for the past 17 years, including both our loyal customers and the many dealers in the area,” says Joanne.

Up to the challenge OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Spirit Challenge Tourna- ment proved to be a good one for the Ajax-Pickering bantam AAA Raiders. The Raiders opened with a 3-2 loss to the Oshawa Minor Generals, but bounced back with a solid victory of 5-0 against the West Seneca Flyers. The third game was against the Ottawa Senators, a team ranked high in the Ontario standings, resulting in a 3-3 tie, followed by the same result and score against the North Central Predators. The Raiders moved on to the semifinals with a glori- ous win over the Oshawa Minor General 8-3. The championship game was now in place for the Raid- ers to meet again with the Ottawa Senators. Overtime didn’t pro- duce a winner as the score remained 1-1. After going through several players on both teams in a shootout, the Raiders come out with a sensational win. Players are Nick Bag- nato, Payton Beckett, Zak Bird, Cameron Bonk, Con- nor Budway, Robert Clark, Thomas Grant, Andrew Hughes, Riley Kumano, Marshall Lockhart, Kevin Ounjian, Aiden Reilly, Alex Schweitzer, Carter Senis, Nick Thomakos and the goalies are Paul Giusti and Conor McCollum.

NBLC Oppong, Power win another OSHAWA -- For the first time in nearly three months, the Oshawa Power have strung together back- to-back victories. Coming off a thrilling 110-108 decision over the Moncton Miracles last Sunday, the Power took to home floor Wednesday at the General Motors Cen- tre and dominated from start to finish in a 106-91 win over the Summerside Storm. Oshawa improves to 10-18 on the season and keeps its playoffs hopes alive. Offence from Brandon Robinson and Omari John- son led the way. Coming off NBL Canada player of the week honours, Robinson scored 26 points on 10 of 19 shooting, while grabbing a team-high 11 rebounds and four steals. Johnson was just as stellar, scoring a team-high 29 to go along with 10 rebounds. Morgan Lewis backed those two up with a 22-point effort, while each of the nine players on the roster made it onto the scoresheet, including Pick- ering’s Papa Oppong, who finished with a solid seven points and six rebounds. The first quarter, some- thing of an Achilles heel for the club at times this sea- son, was anything but in this one. Oshawa jumped out to a 31-17 advantage after the first 12 minutes and never looked back. The Power are on the road this weekend, fac- ing the first-place London Lightning (21-6). Their next home game is Feb. 9 against Moncton, which starts a three-game home stand before the club hits the road again for its final four of the season. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Fe b r u a r y 3 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP Community Recreation Coordinator • Festivals & Events Reporting to the Manager of Community and Cultural Development, you will develop, administer, coordinate, and manage the Town’s festivals and events program, sponsorship, stewardship, staff, budget, and financial accountability.
