PICKERING -- When he started making excus-
es in order to stay home and play video game
League of Legends, Pickering resident Scott
Simon knew it was time to take a break from
technology.
He found the perfect opportunity when he
saw an ad for Operation Unplugged, a new real-
ity show that requires contestants to unplug
from all technology before sending them trav-
elling through Canada’s national parks and
historic sites. On a whim, Mr. Simon decided
to apply. Next thing he knew, he was gearing
up for the rugged show’s debut season.
“Technology is really a double-edged sword
because it can connect people but at the same
time it’s so much easier to text rather than
meet for coffee,” said Mr. Simon, 19, who is
currently studying nanoscience at the Univer-
sity of Guelph.
“Going cold turkey for the show was hard,
but it was good because they distracted you
and you really didn’t have a choice.”
The eight contestants were stripped of any
devices before embarking on their five-week
journey in August.

Convicted of
repeated assaults
on girlfriend
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- A Pickering man
presents an ongoing threat to
the community and should be
jailed indefinitely, a judge has
ruled.
“Dwayne George remains a
high risk to re-offend,” Superi-
or Court Justice Bryan Shaugh-
nessy said in granting a dan-
gerous offender application
launched by the Durham Crown
attorney’s office. “(He) has dem-
onstrated he has no respect for
law and order.”
The ruling means Mr. George,
32, will be held indefinitely with
periodic reviews of his status by
parole officials.
He has been convicted of
repeated assaults on a former
girlfriend, including an incident
in 2000 in which she was kid-
napped, confined and tortured.
After Mr. George’s most recent
conviction in 2010, the Crown
applied to have him declared a
dangerous offender.
Prosecutor Ngai On Young
relied on Mr. George’s crimi-
nal record and a psychiatric
assessment that determined he
is a psychopath who has failed
to take steps, including accept-
ing counselling, to address his
behaviour.
Lawyers representing Mr.
George argued he could be
managed in the community
under strict supervision as a
designated long-term offender,
a suggestion ultimately rejected
by the judge.
“There is no special pill for
(the defendant’s) ailments,” Jus-
tice Shaughnessy said in his rul-
ing last Friday.
“Regretfully in the case of
Dwayne George, all I’m left with
is an expression of hope, and
that’s not good enough.”
The judge noted Mr. George’s
assessment indicates he pres-
ents a high risk to violently re-
offend, particularly against
domestic partners.

Innovation aims to
prioritize surgical
patient procedures
Moya DILLon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Patients could be
whisked into surgery faster
thanks to a new computer pro-
gram being developed at Rouge
Valley Health Services.
The new program, which
recently garnered an award,
identifies gaps in the way sur-
geries are booked, using all
available information to deter-
mine the order in which patients
are treated.
“This program will help ensure
the right patient receives their
treatment first,” said Dr. Jon
Hummel, program chief of sur-
gery at Rouge Valley Centena-
ry and a member of the project
proposal team. “It will help to
address wait list issues, which is
great for our patients and com-
munity.”
Currently, a surgeon’s admin-
istrative assistant is responsible
for scheduling each patient’s
surgery date, balancing surgeon
availability, patient preference
and operating
room sched-
ules before
applying
Ontario Wait
Time priority
system rules in
order to deter-
mine which
patient is oper-
ated on first.
The new
computer pro-
gram would
review all
this informa-
tion automatically and then
determine the order in which a
patient should be treated.
The idea was a collaborative
effort by Dr. Hummel, Thodor-
os Topaloglou, chief informa-
tion officer, and Renate Ilse,
program director for surgery,
endoscopy and central process-
ing.
“This product has so much
potential,” said
Ms. Ilse.
“It ensures we
are booking
people opti-
mally, which
will result in
shorter wait
times. Once
this system is
in place, it can
be shared with
other hospi-
tals. For Rouge
Valley to have
been the one
to develop this improvement is
an achievement that we can be
very proud of.”
The computer program pro-
posal took top prize in Cancer
Care Ontario’s operating room
competition.
Held in early February, the
competition gives awards for
innovative information man-
agement or information tech-
nology solutions addressing a
health-care need.
“RVHS’s computer program to
prioritize surgical wait times for
patients exemplifies how we’re
evolving the way we use infor-
mation technology and inno-
vation to improve patient care,
safety and access in Ontario,”
said Rick Skinner, vice presi-
dent and chief information offi-
cer for Cancer Care.
The $10,000 grant awarded
to the proposal will be used to
help design the new program,
which will then be used by
Rouge Valley surgeons’ admin-
istrative assistants.

“It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Mr.
Simon said of the trip.
“Some of the scenery was absolutely beau-
tiful. I remember being at the top of a moun-
tain in Jasper, looking to the horizon and it was
just absolutely endless, so beautiful. Those are
experiences you can’t get anywhere else.”
With all the distracting scenery and human
contact, the absence of technology didn’t
seem so bad.
“It was easier at first then I thought it would
be, although it got harder later on,” Mr. Simon
recalled.
“There were times I thought ‘I could be at
home, cozy on the couch playing video games.’
But when you have no one to text and no fam-
ily to go home to you really depend on each
other and that’s something that surprised me.
I didn’t come on this show to meet people but
the friendships I think are the main thing I’ll
take away from this.”
He’ll also take away a newfound relation-
ship to technology.
“My real purpose was to find a balance,” he
said. “Before, technology was taking over my
life but doing this has really put it in perspec-
tive for me. It’s always easier to watch TV, but
just turn it off and get up and try something
new. Getting started is the hardest part, then
once you’re out doing stuff it’s a lot easier to
leave technology behind.”
Operation Unplugged airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
on Travel + Escape until April 3.
PICKERING from page 1Council approves
2012 budget
amid debt concerns
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Residents will see an
increase of 2.93 per cent on City taxes after
Pickering council gave final approval to the
2012 budget.
The budget was praised by councillors as
lean, focused on maintaining services, but
some concerns regarding the
City’s debt levels were raised,
with $7.1 million in debt bud-
geted for 2012.
“This year alone the City will
pay $4.04 million in interest
and principle payments to ser-
vice debt,” said Councillor Jen-
nifer O’Connell, noting the City
cannot rely on rate stabilization
reserves to keep tax increases
down. “Our debt is staggering
and needs to be addressed.”
Mayor David Ryan agreed, but
noted the City has been struggling with an
average one per cent assessment growth
annually since 1999, while maintaining tax
increases around three per cent.
“Our taxpayers are hurting, all taxpayers
are hurting, but there are demands upon
us as a municipality,” he said, noting the list
of projects in the budget represented must-
have work such as infrastructure repairs.
“This is a good budget because it doesn’t
reduce services, and there are no signifi-
cant increases in staffing to achieve the
same service levels our residents already
enjoy.”
Several motions to amend the budget,
including reallocating $60,000 to the acces-
sibility capital budget, deleting $2.4 million
for replacement of the Whitevale bridge,
removing $20,000 in funding for the Dur-
ham West Arts Centre and removing $1.5
million in debt financing for the French-
man’s Bay harbour entrance proj-
ect, were all defeated by council.
The budget was approved
by a vote of five to two, with
Councillors Peter Rodrigues and
O’Connell opposed.
But Councillor Rodrigues
caused some consternation with
a motion to remove a $150,000
repaving of Sideline 26 from the
budget for a separate vote. The
project was approved.
“You can’t come forward
with a list of projects you want for
your ward or the city, get them in the bud-
get, then say you don’t support the budget
but go back to your community saying ‘I got
you all this,’” Mayor Ryan said. “That’s just
the way it is, either you support the budget
or you don’t.”
Whitevale bridge
project to go ahead
PICKERING -- Plans for replacing the
Whitevale bridge will move forward despite
requests from residents to delay approval of
funding for the project.
“This is a massively expensive initiative
for a bridge for less than 100 families,” said
Whitevale resident Julie Schembri during a
council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21.
“I know it’s easy to say you can approve
$2.4 million and not spend it all but is that
really how you want to approve a budget?”
Ms. Schembri said the community mainly
wanted a bridge smaller in width than the one
proposed.
“It’s a functional structure that allows vil-
lagers to cross from one side of West Duffins
Creek to the other,” she said.
“It was never ostentatious and no one is
saying it should be now. There are so many
variables and so many unanswered ques-
tions.”
Several councillors expressed concern
about delaying replacement of the bridge,
which was restricted to one lane in 2008.
During questioning from councillors, staff
said deleting or reducing the total would not
affect the tax rate since the project was fund-
ed through gas tax funds, and that removing
funding could delay the project.
“It would be my recommendation that the
amount remain in the budget,” said Richard
Holborn, head of engineering services, not-
ing it would allow staff to continue working
towards beginning construction in 2013.
A motion by Councillor Peter Rodrigues
to delete the $2.4 million from the 2012 bud-
get was defeated by council.

Advertorial
Theysayoneman’strashisanotherperson’s
treasure and the gold, coin and antique
appraisers of the Canadian CollectorsRoadshow are in Ajax next week to showjust how valuable your coins, jewellery,
antiques and collectibles can be.
The roadshow will be in town Thursday
March 1st until Sunday March 4th at the
Hilton Garden Inn Ajax, 500 Beck Crescent
where those interested in the world of
collectibles are invited to come down and
find out how much money their own piecesmight fetch.
Eric Dvorkin, president of the organization,
says it can be incredibly exciting to find outwhat your old coins and jewellery are worth
–not to mention surprising.
“People inherit stuff or have been sitting onpieces for the past 20 or 30 years while it’s
been collecting value,” he says,“and they
have no idea what they actually have.”
Gold, silver, jewellery and precious metals
are some of the most popular items
the appraisers see and can be worth a
remarkable amount of money. The value of
these pieces is based on the market price of
where gold and silver are at on a daily basisbut for some, explains Dvorkin, it’s about
getting something –anything –out of pieces
that would otherwise collect dust.
“Times are tough right now and every little
bit helps,” he says.“I’ve seen people walk
out in tears because they were so surprised
at what their stuff was worth and they finally
don’t have to worry about coming up short
on their bills.”
Other popular items include antiques and
collectibles, most notably war memorabilia.
Bayonets and medals from the Wo rld Wars
have been known to garner a fair value
but the rarer pieces such as medals from
generals are more in-demand. With the
100-year anniversary of WWI approaching
in 2014, memorabilia from that time is also
of great value.
Even those soft and cuddly teddy bears
passed down from generation to generation
could be worth a pretty penny –more
specifically, Steiff bears from the German-
based company that began producing
teddy bears in 1902. French dolls made
from porcelain or wax may also garner
impressive value.
When it comes to coins, the less there are of
a particular one, the more value it holds.
“The 1948 Canadian silver dollar is the
most valuable silver dollar right now,” says
Dvorkin.“Only 19,000 were minted, while
hundreds of millions of other coins are
currently in circulation. In good condition,
these coins can get anywhere from $2,000
to $10,000.”
Fifty-cent pieces and nickels from 1921 are
also in demand, fetching up to $20,000.
Dimes, quarters, 50-cent pieces and silver
dollars minted before 1968, says Dvorkin,
could be of great value just for the silver
contents of them. Most surprising of all,
however,isthevalueofcertain1936pennies;
one of the four currently in circulation was
recently sold in auction for $400,000.
Whether you’re simply curious to see what
your valuables are worth or enjoy learning
about the value of others’ belongings, the
Canadian Collectors Roadshow will be full
of fascinating pieces.
For more information, call 1-888-325-2775 or visit www.collectorsroadshow.ca.
The Canadian Collectors Roadshow will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday
and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. See ad in today’s paper.

Blue Bins
Leave the garbage
pickers alone
To the editor:
I was pleased to see the letter to the edi-
tor in the Feb. 17, 2012 paper regarding
blue bin scavengers.
I completely agree with everything the
letter writer says regarding the futility of
creating yet more bylaws that won’t be
enforced.
Bylaw enforcement is non-existent
unless one goes out of one’s way to com-
plain and complain often, including to the
mayor and local councillors, whether it be
regarding vicious dogs, parking or non-
snow removal on sidewalks. Leave the gar-
bage pickers alone.
If the Region wants control of blue box
contents, then let them take everything
that is put out. We shouldn’t have to read
a guidebook to determine what we can
throw out.
In my opinion the “pickers” are doing us
a service, often taking items that the Region
either won’t pick up, or take forever to do
so.

To the editor:
Re: ‘No money for seniors’ pensions, lots
for corporations’, letter to the editor, dur-
hamregion.com, Feb. 6, 2012.
I agree that it’s long overdue that govern-
ment expenditures were subject to better
review.
Far too often, governments make ter-
rible decisions, flushing time, money and
resources down the drain. Taxpayers pay
for it all: $2-billion failed long gun registry,
useless billion-dollar e-health contracts
and locally we’ve had MBAs paid for from
the public purse. And of course there was
the Cullen Miniatures disaster.
It is obvious that governments have too
much money (taxes) and power when
the above mentioned waste is allowed to
occur.
As for the low corporate tax rate, govern-
ments should implement a flat tax. Imag-
ine if everyone paid the same 15 per cent
corporations and rich investors pay. The
rich would still pay more, the middle class
and working poor less. However, earning a
promotion or a degree wouldn’t penalize
you by putting you in a higher tax bracket.
A flat tax would be a fair tax.
When it comes to retirement, we see
the failed effects in Greece, where peo-
ple believed the government would be
there, cradle to grave. They made little or
no planning for themselves as the govern-
ment spent recklessly.
Handing over more and more of our
money to the government to spend is not
the answer.
The best lesson we can learn from Greece
is that we must be more self reliant in our
lives, including retirement. A government
big enough to give you everything is big
enough to take it all away.

Cartoon was in poor taste
To the editor:
Re: Editorial cartoon, Oshawa This Week,
Feb. 15, 2012.
In the last number of years I have gen-
erally found these cartoons in poor taste,
usually attacking something or other, but
this one goes over the edge.
The offensive cartoon shows a can that
says ‘Soylent Green - Seniors Blend -
Affordable Meals from Stephen Harper’.
This is in reference to changing the retire-
ment age from 65 to 67.
With what is happening around the world
in regards to pensions, from clawbacks to
losing everything, Prime Minister Harper
is being prudent in taking a look to safe-
guard it.
If anyone had ever seen the movie, they
would know that Soylent Green is about
the consumption of humans for nutrition.
The person who did this cartoon obviously
has a problem with Harper to even suggest
such a thing. But printing this cartoon goes
too far.
This newspaper is also guilty for showing
such poor taste in allowing it to be print-
ed. I feel very let down and disappointed to
see this in your newspaper.

Junior Citizen nominees the very best of youth in Durham
They take action to protect stray animals,
collect blankets to provide warmth for the
homeless, promote social justice in hard-
scrabble communities, raise money for
cancer research. One even stopped a roll-
ing bus before tragedy struck.
All of them are Ontario Junior Citizen of
the Year nominees, and one a winner, and
each is a deserving candidate. The pro-
gram, organized by the Ontario Commu-
nity Newspapers Association, of which
the Durham Division of Metroland Media
Group Ltd. is a member, seeks to recognize
outstanding youth who work to improve
their communities.
Durham Region is home to several local
nominees who range in age from 12 to 16.
Their work -- in communities across Dur-
ham -- is motivated entirely by a desire
to help, whether close to home with the
humane society, or farther afield in such
northern Canadian communities as Iqalu-
it.
Each Junior Citizen nominee represents
the very best of youth in Durham Region
today. Their budding leadership will only
grow as their life experiences broaden,
spurred by committed teachers and family
members, community mentors and peers.
The public recognition offered through
the Junior Citizen program acknowledges
that leadership, which serves to encourage
them to do more, and others to follow their
lead.
Youth today are too often mislabelled as
being shiftless and unambitious, connected
primarily through the packets of data trans-
ferred via social media and Internet sites,
yet disconnected from their communities.
This group of achievers provide an impor-
tant and timely example that illustrates
youth in Durham are not only aware of the
needs in their respective communities, but
that they have the resources and inner drive
to take action and attempt to address ineq-
uity, need, or change in this little corner of
the world.
The Junior Citizen program is an annual
event. There are surely other youths in Dur-
ham who are working behind the scenes
right now to improve their community, help
a person or group in need, or provide com-
fort to those who have fallen on hard times.
If you know one, visit www.ocna.org in the
coming months to learn more about recog-
nizing those efforts. In the meantime, read
about -- and be moved by -- the impressive
efforts of local youths who have been nomi-
nated this year. Each is a deserving candi-
date.
Their stories can be found at www.dur-
hamregion.com/news/article/1300492--

ACT now to save community theatre in Ajax
Drama group
says without more
volunteers, it won’t
have a 2012/13
season
Mike ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Ajax Community The-
atre is getting good reviews from
patrons and attendance is up
since the move to the St. Francis
Centre.
No worries, right?
In fact, ACT could cease for a
year in 2012/2013 due to a prob-
lem that affects many local groups:
not enough hands to make the
work lighter.
“A number of us on the board
here have just been putting in so
much work on this, it’s getting dif-
ficult to do it anymore,” says presi-
dent Dave Edwards.
He says ACT needs eight or 10
new volunteers or it will take a year
off after this its third season and
first at Ajax’s new arts venue on
Church Street in Pickering Village.
Edwards says while ACT has had
volunteers who have made a con-
tribution, the theatre group needs
people to fill the “higher-end jobs,”
such as a set construction and box
office manager and someone to
look after acquiring props.
As it stands, Edwards says he,
treasurer Nancy Palumbo and her
husband and fellow board mem-
ber Heather Warkentin, vice-pres-
ident and responsible for public-
ity, have been taking on too much
of the workload and it’s unsustain-
able.
It’s somewhat ironic as ACT’s
first season at the St. Francis Cen-
tre has been the group’s most suc-
cessful: attendance is up and the
group gets good feedback from
patrons, whom Edwards says have
praised ACT for providing quality
theatre on par with or better than
anything they could see in Toron-
to.
“It’s great to be in the new place,
which is making us more success-
ful,” he says. “And I know the Town
of Ajax is a strong supporter and
doesn’t want this to disappear.
Ajax certainly deserves a commu-
nity theatre and we’re serving peo-
ple from all over Durham Region.”
The group holds its first annual
general meeting on March 6, with
an agenda that includes the elec-
tion of a new board of directors.
Edwards says the timing is good
as he hopes to see some fresh
faces come onto the ACT board.
Several board members, includ-
ing himself and Palumbo, plan to
step down after this season. But
Edwards emphasizes they would
remain to help with the transition
to a new group taking the lead at
ACT. Edwards is willing to stay on
as past president.
“We’re not walking away from it
entirely,” he says.
If ACT cannot get the new blood
it’s seeking, Edwards says “there
won’t be a next season.” He says
that doesn’t mean ACT will disap-
pear for good, but that a 2012/2013
season won’t be in the cards.
The ACT AGM is at 7:30 p.m. at
the McLean Community Centre,
95 Magill Dr., Ajax.
To learn more about the group,
visit ajaxcommunitytheatre.com,
e-mail info@ajaxcommunitythe-
atre.com or call 289-892-4132.

AJAX -- Andy Arms-Roberts as Captain Lesgate and Catherine Speiran as Margot Wendice rehearsed
Ajax Community Theatre’s production of Dial M for Murder at the St. Francis Centre earlier this year. The
theatre group is looking for new board members otherwise there won’t be a 2012/2013 season.
a number of us on the board here
just have been putting in
so much work on this, it’s
getting difficult to do it
anymore. Dave Edwards
art exhibition
Zombies invade Scugog’s Farndale gallery
scugog artists
team up for
Dead of winter show
Mike ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
PORT PERRY -- A zombie ice fish-
ing, with a brain as the bait.
A zombie on the beach, in an
ill-fitting Speedo.
It’s not typical fare for the Kent
Farndale Gallery in Port Perry,
but the timing is certainly right
for the Dead of Winter exhibit.
Scugog artists Dave Trant and
Andres Musta have joined forces
to present the unique show, run-
ning to March 1.
And the opening was also
unusual in that it didn’t feature
the stereotypical gallery patron
quietly contemplating the art.
Instead, many people were gasp-
ing at what they were seeing.
“They’re things that shock you,”
Trant says. “It’s just nice to see a
gallery setting where people are
being expressive themselves. I
really like that.”
The exhibition poster invited
patrons at the opening to enjoy
“Brains and Refreshments.”
Trant and Musta went to high
school together, a year or two
apart, and have mutual friends.
When Trant moved from Oshawa
to Prince Albert just over a year
ago, he learned that Musta was
living on Scugog Island.
Musta suggested they do a joint
zombie show, a bit of a challenge
for Trant, a wood carver whose
subject matter is generally ani-
mals and objects.
“It’s been a rare departure for
me to do the human form,” he
says.
Trant says while he’s occasion-
ally done zombie figures, “Andres
is really the zombie guy.”
But their approach to the sub-
ject isn’t the same. For Musta,
Trant says the zombie represents
“the disenfranchised, the outsid-
er.” He says Musta’s works range
from the satirical to the serious,
while his go from the whimsical
to the satirical.
“We thought we’d have a nice
balance,” he says.
Musta is showing paintings,
sculptures and a 3-D hanging
work.
Trant is showing wood carv-
ings, done in what he describes
as his “Mr. Potatohead-carving
style.
“I’ll create the central design
and then fabricate the arms and
legs and eyes to go on it, in the
same way as if you were doing a

contest
Coronation Street actors in Durham to share stories
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- It’s hugely popular
and it’s said the Queen is a big
fan.
So what is about Coronation
Street that keeps fans coming
back for more?
“I think that Coronation Street
has taken particular care in keep-
ing their storylines current with
the times, keeping their storylines
interesting, and not being afraid
to take on difficult subject matter,”
says Gary Topp. “And the acting is
great; all the actors are good.”
Topp is handling marketing and
public relations for Tales from
the Street, where four former cast
members are touring Canada to
share stories about Coronation
Street and even some behind-the-
scenes gossip. Steve Arnold, Julia
Haworth), Charles Lawson and
Nick Cochrane (Andy McDon-
ald) will be at The General Sikor-
ski Centre in Oshawa at 8 p.m. on
March 12. Audience members
will be able to ask questions of the
actors, who will also be talking
about their off-screen lives.
The General Sikorski Centre is
at 1551 Stevenson Rd. N.
Tickets are available at www.
ticketweb.ca or by calling 1-855-
777-SHOW. Learn more about
the Corrie tour at talesfromthes-
treet.biz.
We want to get four Corrie Street
fanatics to the event -- and two of
you are getting VIP treatment.
The grand prize winner in our
contest receives two VIP tickets,
which will get you into the meet-
and-greet with the Corrie street-
ers before they come out and
speak.
The second prize winner
receives two tickets to the event,
but not to the meet-and-greet.
To be eligible, correctly answer
the following three questions.
E-mail your answers to mjohn-
ston@durhamregion.com by
Wednesday, March 7. Make sure
the subject line says “Coronation
Street contest.” We will pick two
winners at random on March 8
from all of the entrants who cor-
rectly answer all three questions.
1. Name the only remaining
character on the show who
appeared in the first episode.
(Rita Sullivan, Ken Barlow or
Mike Baldwin?)
2. On what special day was David
Platt born?
(Easter, Valentine’s Day, Christ-
mas Day or New Year’s Day?)
3. What legendary actor tried
to make an appearance on the
show but couldn’t because of
scheduling conflicts?
(Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole,
Laurence Olivier or James
Mason?)
OSHAWA -- Charles Lawson, left, who played Jim McDonald on Coronation Street, is one of four former cast members speaking in
Oshawa on March 12. Also in town, from left, are Nick Cochrane (Andy McDonald), Julia Haworth (Claire Peacock) and Steve Arnold
(Ashley Peacock).

ceramic sculpture,” he explains.
The two combined to create a zombie
cut-out, in which visitors can stick their
heads to become a part of the piece.
“That’s our draw-you-in-the-door piece;
we wanted something interactive,” Trant
says.
Trant graduated from the Ontario Col-
lege of Art in 1991, starting out in painting
and design.
At a gallery in Picton, he was asked if
he’d ever done any wood carving and if he

BasketBall
55 years and counting for Schaaf
ajax basketball
official honoured
for lengthy service
Brad kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Gene Schaaf has a mem-
ory about as sharp as they come.
It’s little wonder then that he
has been involved in basket-
ball at varying levels, as referee,
assignor and executive member,
memorizing the rule book and
keeping everything straight to
get officials to games on time for
more than 55 years.
To commemorate the 55-year
milestone, the Ajax resident was
presented with a service award
from the Ontario Association of
Basketball Officials at their AGM
in Windsor.
These days, he is doing more
of the administrative work than
officiating, but he still manages
to grab a whistle and get on the
court once in a while.
“I’ve been around for a lot of
years and I didn’t want to get to
the point somebody would say
‘He’s in over his head.’ So all I do
now is elementary,” says the 77
year old.
His first recollection of basket-
ball dates back to elementary
school in Hamilton.
“The first time I saw a basket-
ball was during one period of
a phys-ed class in Grade 8,” he
recalls. “I went to high school in
Hamilton for my Grade 9 year. I
went out for the team and didn’t
make it.”
After leaving college, he became
associated with a church league
basketball program in Hamilton
in 1956-57, and from there moved
to Weston and began to referee.
He has done every level along
the way including elementary,
high school, college and univer-
sity. There have been provincial
and national championships, as
well as refereeing in the nation-
al Wheelchair Basketball Asso-
ciation in major club and NCAA
tournaments in Texas, Michigan,
Illinois, Indiana and New York.
He was also included in a Har-
lem Globetrotters movie shoot
where he refereed the game por-
traying the life of a disabled ath-
lete.
A member of the York, Toronto
and Durham association of bas-
ketball officials, his lengthy ten-
ure earned him lifetime member-
ship honours. He is also one of
only a select few Canadians to be
honoured as a life member with
the International Association
Approved Basketball Officials.
At some point, he recognizes
his time will come to walk away,
leaving a huge void for somebody
else to fill. But for now, he carries
on.
“I thought about leaving this
spring when the season is over,
but I think I’ll make that decision
next fall,” he says. “If I feel like I’m
in good enough shape, and when
I talk about shape, there was time
I was in shape to run four or five
ball games a day. That was many
years ago.
“Now that I’m the age that I am,
one game and I’ve had enough.
I’m tired, like anybody my age
would be.”

BOWMANVILLE -- Mosport
International Raceway is no
more.
Well, at least in terms of name.
Earlier this month the owner-
ship group at the historic track
announced a turning of the
page, partnering with arguably
the country’s biggest automo-
tive giant in the renaming of the
facility to Canadian Tire Motor-
sport Park.
Legendary driver and part
owner of the track, Ron Fellows,
said the change has been in the
works for quite some time and
he is thrilled at the future pos-
sibilities that will come from the
long-term partnership.
“This is something that we feel
is a huge marketing opportunity
for us,” Fellows said in a phone
interview. “Having a partner, an
iconic brand like Canadian Tire,
is not only going to be great for
the facility but great for auto rac-
ing in the country. Having Cana-
dian Tire as a partner, they’ve
got close to 500 retail outlets.
That’s huge for us in terms of
the reach. They are going to be
able to help us through all their
stores. We have a tremendous
opportunity to pull in a whole
new audience. This is essential-
ly a new and exciting era in auto
racing.”
Fellows, who bought into the
track last summer, said Cana-
dian Tire showed interest right
from the get-go in wanting to get
involved in some way.
And considering he already
had a long-standing relation-
ship with the company through
his driving career, it didn’t take
much to hammer out a deal.
“I have a relationship with
Canadian Tire as they spon-
sor me for a couple of NASCAR
Nationwide Series races, Wat-
kins Glen and Montreal, and I
do ambassador work for them
as well,” Fellows said. “When
we announced the track deal
back in June, there was certainly
interest (from them) in getting
involved in the track somehow.
In the fall is when Allan Mac-
Donald (senior VP of automo-
tive from Canadian Tire) began
thinking about an opportunity
like this. We think it’s a perfect
fit.”
A change of such magnitude
is sure to generate wide-ranging
opinions. Some will no doubt
applaud the changing of a guard,
while others, more attached to
the historic brand of Mosport,
will have a more difficult time
accepting the change.
Fellows admits they have
heard both sides of that coin
since announcement was made
last week.
“The majority is positive. From
some of the fan base, there is
certainly an attachment to the
name Mosport, but the major-
ity see this as exciting news for
the facility and for the sport,” he
said.
“You can’t please everybody,
but I think that down the road
when we’re able to grow the
facility and grow the sport, it’s
going to be obvious that this is a
great deal.”
The 2012 season will kick off
with Victoria Day Speedfest in
May.

Three golds,
one silver
earned by
local fighters
BRAMPTON -- The Ajax
Boxing Club was award-
ed the top team award at
the Brampton Cup, one of
the largest boxing tourna-
ments in the province.
The Ajax club had three
out of four of its boxers
win gold and another a
silver in their respective
weight classes.
Ajax’s Francesco Man-
darano defeated Pablo
Olivares of the Bramalea
Boxing Club 3-0 in his first
match of the tournament
in the 52kg senior novice
class. In his second fight,
Mandarano lost a close
fight to Todd Napper of
Nappers Boxing Club out
of Welland. Napper, who
had a first-round bye, won
gold and Mandarano was
awarded the silver medal.
Ajax’s Alexandra Bennett
stopped her opponent,
Megan Smith of the Kings-
ton Youth, in the very first
round to win the Female
75kg junior C novice gold
medal and best female
boxer of the tournament.
Bennett has been boxing
for just over a year and her
explosive power proved to
be too much for the Kings-
ton boxer.
Edward Caracas won
gold in the 56kg senior
novice class over Kevin
Picana of the Fight Schol-
ar Boxing Club. Caracas’s
opponent was unable to
answer the bell for the sec-
ond round. The Brampton
Cup was Caracas’s first
boxing tournament.
Tristan Smith won both
of his fights to win the
gold in the 75kg senior
novice class. His first vic-
tory, 3-0, was over Dar-
ryl Boulillon of the Valley
East Boxing Club, who had
five more fights under his
belt than Smith. Smith’s
second victory was a hard-
fought fight over a very
tough Steve Hagan of the
Durham Boxing Academy.
Smith won a 3-0 decision.
Ajax’s head coach and
manager Colin Matchim
credits the success at the
tournament to the fighters
hardcore training and the
contributions of coaches
Preston Roberts and Mike
Calderaro.

ing the Ajax Boxing Club,

Panthers win tournament
Mites blank kitchener
in championship game
RICHMOND HILL -- The Pickering Pan-
thers Mites were crowned champions at
the Richmond Hill Stars Select Tourna-
ment.
The possibility of a win in the final
seemed to be a long-shot proposition
at best, considering their opponent, the
Kitchener Rangers, had only two days
earlier outplayed the Panthers on their
way to an emphatic 8-1 win.
The Panthers regained their compo-
sure in the semifinal game early on Sun-
day morning, beating the host team 4-1.
In the final game against Kitchener a
goal in the second period opened the
scoring. In the third stanza, the Panther’s
showed a renewed resolve to keep the
puck away from their net and solid goal-
tending stymied the Kitchener shooters
the rest of the way. A third-period goal
sealed a 2-0 victory for the Pickering
side.
After twice being runner-up and in
their third tournament of the season,
the Pickering Panthers Mite Select team
deservedly won the championship tro-
phy. Goalie Rayen Singh was voted his
team’s game MVP.
The team staff includes coaches Chris
Szent-Ivany, James Good, Joe Crngarov,
trainers Evan Jones and Reaud Singh and
manager Mike Helewa.
Players include defence: Cater Long,
Joey Helewa, Gavin Jones, Andrew Cra-
ven, Kieran Velinore and Jalen Bianchet;
forwards: Jacob Szent-Ivany, Ryan Smith,
Ryleigh Horlock, Kieran O’Connell, Alex-
ander Colangelo, Owen Vigna, Jack Good,
Joseph Crngarov and Tommy Anthony;
goalie: Rayen Singh.
