On April 4, politicians voted 24-2 to pass a bylaw that would change the meth- od of selecting the chairman, from appointment by coun- cil to direct election by the public. Councillors Debbie Bath of Brock, and Pat Perkins, mayor of Whitby, were absent. The two opposing voices were Uxbridge Coun- cillor Jack Ballinger and Brock Mayor Terry Clayton. Regional council called the vote after a lengthy meeting that included feedback from the public. About 60 people filled the gallery and more than a dozen speakers took a turn at the podium. Many speakers in favour of election cited the results of the October 2010 refer- endum on the issue. While voter turnout wasn’t enough to make the results binding, 79.7 per cent of those who cast a ballot were in favour of electing the chairman. “Voters in every one of the eight municipalities voted in a resounding majority for direct election,” said resi- dent Louis Bertrand, who called electing representa- tives a “fundamental right”. “You have a chance to align yourselves with the voices of the voters in Dur- ham Region,” he told coun- cil. Several concerned resi- dents said there aren’t enough details about the role of an elected chairman to make an informed deci- sion. “This is a job posting with no job description,” said res- ident Cathrine McKeever. “We have not been told what the new position will entail. The current chairman acts on instructions of council; will a directly elected chair be able to disregard your wishes because his mandate comes from the people?” While the bylaw passed by a wide margin, it wasn’t without intense debate from politicians. Politicians who spoke in support of direct election stressed the importance of listening to the 95,377 resi- dents who voted in favour of the change in the 2010 refer- endum. “It’s time to heed the will of the electorate,” said Whitby Councillor Lorne Coe. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, who has been council’s most vocal cheerleader for direct election, agreed. “If you don’t respect their view you’re calling them stu- pid. But they’re not stupid,” he said. “They elected you, they elected me. They’re pretty smart.” For some council mem- bers, the concern was unan- swered questions. “We are contemplat- ing moving forward with one of the most impor- tant decisions of our term with very little informa- tion,” said Scugog Council- lor Bobbie Drew. “We have the time, let’s do it right.” She moved a motion to delay the vote until Region staff could come back with a report that provided details on the duties and authority of an elected chairman and the budget for the office. It lost by a vote of 20-6. She then moved another motion directing staff to update pre- vious reports and it passed. The next step in achieving the needed “triple majority” is for each of Durham’s eight lower-tier municipalities to have their say by Sept. 1. A triple majority means that, in addition to support from a majority at region- al council, five out of eight lower-tier municipal coun- cils must pass a resolution in support. The total number of electors in the lower-tier municipalities that pass a resolution must also form a majority of all the electors in the region. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 3 AP ®® For all your DEBTS!Make One Small Monthly Payment credit ® Visit: Make One Small Monthly Payment For all your DEBTS!

On Saturday, April 28 the club will be host- ing a rain barrel sale at the school’s south campus on Dunfair Street, off Whites Road, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Rain barrels can be used to collect and store rain water from roofs through down- spouts as a chlorine-free and fluoride-free option for watering flowers, vegetables, lawns and shrubs. The barrels divert clean water from munic ipal sewer systems and can provide sav- ings for homeowners who pay for water ser- vices. Each rain barrel is equipped with a mos- quito and leaf debris filter basket, an over- flow hose, an adapter to join rain barrels together and a spigot at the bottom that can connect to a standard garden hose. Sales of the rain barrels will support Dun- barton’s campus greening initiative. The school’s campus biodiversity plan aims to plant 100 native shade trees by 2020, 50 of which will be planted by the end of 2020. Proceeds from the rain barrel sale will be used to fund tree planting in 2013. Rain barrels will be sold for $60 each and are available in grey, terra cotta and black. All orders must be placed online in advance at www.rainbarrel.ca/dunbarton or by calling 905-839-1125. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 5 P HELP YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY.

Sabrina byrneS / metroland Playing in the dirt PICKERING -- Ken Brown spoke to Kale, 3, and Skylar Stamper, 5, at Sustainable Pickering Day, which was held at the Pickering Town Centre April 1. The event fea- tured displays, activities, indoor farmers market, all aimed at celebrating local food and encouraging local agriculture. Life changing. That about sums up the experience hundreds of Durham students are about to have. This week, more than 3,500 students from across Canada board flights in one of the world’s largest field trips -- an Edu- cation First Educational Tours’ adventure commemorating the 95th anniversary of the battle at Vimy Ridge in France -- a trip, based on my own experience, never to be forgotten. Two years ago I had the pleasure of travelling to the Netherlands for the 65th anniversary celebrations of Victory in Europe with Education First and the stu- dents of the day, and the experience left me prouder than ever to be Canadian -- something that’s becoming more rare as the world becomes more globalized. In a time of MTV, social media, and the decline of North American manufactur- ing, identifying with our Canadian heri- tage can be hard; there just seems to be so little that is truly Canadian. We often take for granted the reasons why our grandparents or great grandpar- ents came to Canada in the first place -- for a better life, and instead choose to embrace their heritage instead of that of our own. That’s why learning opportunities such as that offered by the Vimy Ridge trip are so important. Never had I, and I’m sure the students also in attendance, felt prouder to be Canadian than we did while standing at attention as our national anthem was per- formed in honour of the Canadian sol- diers buried beneath, having sacrificed their lives for the freedom of others. It’s a feeling this group of students will no doubt be experiencing very shortly. Even though their trips will all be slight- ly different, all will be heading to the same place on Easter Monday -- Vimy Ridge. There, they’ll be commemorating the 95th anniversary of the battle which defined our nation as Canadians achieved the impossible. Never forget that. But along with Vimy, other great adven- tures await -- including for some, a trip to Bletchley Park, where code-breaking took place, and a relationship with Camp X in Durham; a ceremony at Green Park Memorial in London with Canadian and British government representatives; stu- dents parading in front of Buckingham Palace; a ceremony at the Newfoundland Memorial, Beaumont-Hamel, France; a visit to the site of John McCrae’s field hos- pital; attending the Last Post ceremony; and visits to Anne Frank House in the Netherlands. Being able to participate and observe such honourable tributes to those who gave their lives in the name of our coun- try is something that will stay with me for- ever, as I’m sure it will for Karen Longwell, our reporter following the newest group of students about to be touched by the achievements of our countrymen of the past.

That wasn’t in the cards for the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) until January. It was then that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing initiated an amendment to the plan, created by the Province in 2006 and governing planning for the community’s development. According to a City estimate, the price tag would be in the order of $75 million, a huge expense for the City and one that originally wasn’t Pickering’s to pick up. Pickering council last week approved a report that asked the minister to reinstate the plan clause providing financial protec- tion to the City. “The Province has been running this crazy train called Seaton and it has the potential to bankrupt not only the Region of Durham but also the City of Pickering,” said Councillor Bill McLean. “I fully support this, I think it’s a good, clear message we’re sending the Prov- ince that we are very, very concerned with Seaton.” Pickering should be. The City and Region for some time have expressed grave con- cerns over the development. When the Region received the proposed amendment to the development plan, not one but many red flags went up. The Prov- ince described the amendment as “minor housekeeping” changes attempting to clarify issues such as population and employment forecasts and the relation- ship between the CPDP and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. But Region staff said the amendment was far from housekeeping, arguing the changes if implemented could have huge impacts on Durham’s autonomy and financial well-being. Especially at issue is the possibility that more than $1 billion in infrastructure costs could be dumped on Durham taxpayers. “We went from a plan from the Province that was cost-neutral to one that now isn’t cost-neutral,” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said at the meeting. “The bottom line is cost,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. “This amendment makes it possible for costs to be uploaded to the Region and the City of Pickering... and unless we have the jobs it’s the tax- payer that picks up the cost.” Provincial representatives should sit down with Pickering and Regional offi- cials and get this mess sorted out. This back and forth has to end with a clear, realistic plan that doesn’t burn Pickering taxpayers. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 7 APHIGHWAY 2 TRANSIT PRIORITY MEASURES CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION WORKS DEPARTMENT ADVERTISEMENT 4 The Regional Municipality of Durham has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for roadway modifications to support the first stage of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Highway 2 (Kingston Road) in three “transit priority opportunity areas”in Ajax and Pickering (see map below).

BERG, Q.C. Personal Injury Lawyer New short-stay beds now in use at Ajax-Pickering hospital Short stay unit to help ease pressure on emergency department Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com AJAX -- New beds at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital could mean less waiting for emergency department patients. “It’s particularly exciting in this day and age to be able to talk about opening new beds,” said Cheryl Williams, vice- president of acute care services. The beds went into use in January but were unveiled to the public during a grand opening Tuesday, April 3. “The new short stay unit will pro- vide much-needed space to help us treat patients who arrive through the emergency department,” Ms. Williams explained of the 10-bed unit, which is available for patients with an estimated hospital stay of up to 72 hours. “Access to inpatient beds is a really important activity,” Ms. Williams said. “If people in emergency need to be admitted to the hospital they often end up waiting in emergency for a bed. When people can get into a bed quickly com- prehensive care can be provided in a more timely way. It gives us more capac- ity and helps us to reduce wait times in emergency, which is always our goal.” Jeanette Clarke-Boutilier, manager of the new unit, said it’s “all about getting the right patient in the right bed at the right time. “If we can get them in, get them treat- ed and then get them home, that’s the best place for them to be,” she said, not- ing patients can decline while waiting in bed for treatments and the risk of con- tracting common hospital infections such as C.difficile increases with length of stay. The hospital has more space available in the unit and hopes to add another 10 to 13 general medical beds this year, if funding can be obtained. In the meantime, it is counting on the new short stay unit to help reduce wait times and ease stress on emergency. “Our emergency department activity has been up 10 to 12 per cent year over year, so it’s very busy,” said Rick Gander- ton, president and CEO of Rouge Valley Health System. “These new beds will help to improve quality of care for our patients.” The 10-bed unit was made possible by $1.3 million in funding from the Central East Local Health Integration Network. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 9 P 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 It’s the season to do some Spring Cleaning, but don’t forget to give your vehicle a little TLC too!

Enjoy the Sunshine with a Diamond Shine MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A group of neighbours is lamenting the lack of privacy they will face if two-storey condo build- ings are built in their com- munity of bungalows. At a public meeting on April 2 residents aired their concerns over a proposed development of five town- house units at the corner of Fieldlight Boulevard and Valley Farm Road. “These are very tall build- ings,” said Paul Brewer, who lives two doors down from the proposed development. “I expect the homes to the west on Fieldlight will lose the ability to see the sun- rise in the morning and be in shadow most of the day. With such tall buildings next to them they will feel intimi- dated in their own yards and lose privacy, this is not what makes a neighbourhood.” Other residents echoed his concerns, along with worries regarding the impact on traf- fic if the townhouse drive- ways front onto Fieldlight and the proposed setbacks of six metres for the proper- ty. “Everyone on that street has a 100-foot frontage,” said Mike Tiernan, another Field- light resident. “I can’t for the life of me believe that you’ve enter- tained the thought of putting a monstrosity on the corner of our neighbourhood.” Mr. Tiernan and his wife presented a petition signed by residents of the area opposing the development. Sean Baradaran, who was representing developers BanCan Homes Inc., tried to calm concerns. “At the end of the day this is going to be a communi- ty decision and we respect everyone’s ideas, if there’s anything we can do to enhance this project in a way that makes everyone happy we are going to do that,” Mr. Baradaran said. Staff will incorporate resi- dents’ concerns into further discussions with the devel- oper and come back twith a report at a future meeting. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 10 P UDIAMONDSHINECARCLEANING&D E T A I LI N G Interior Shampoo & detailing, ExteriorWax 221Westney Rd.S.

Pledges, sponsorships up this year Pickering GO lot open but spaces limited as of Monday PICKERING -- Commuters could have a tougher time finding parking as construction of a new parking struc- ture begins at the Pickering GO station. On Monday, April 9, sections of the Pickering GO parking lot will be closed for construction of a new six-level parking structure. While the parking lot at the Bayly Street station will remain open, the section south of the station’s bus loop and part of the centre lot locat- ed just south of the kiss-and-ride area will be closed. GO parking off Sandy Beach Road will remain open, and a further 500 spaces are available in the new park- ing structure on Pickering Parkway, which connects with the station via the new pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401. The new parking structure will provide about 1,200 new parking spaces, along with a direct link to the pedestrian bridge and a covered walkway to the sta- tion building. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

I was meandering along a woodland trail a week or two ago when a hawk suddenly swooped past among the trees. And right behind it, metres away, anoth- er one. I got a brief look at their banded tails and spread wings as they banked in tandem, swerved, and disappeared together into the forest. “Courtship flight,” I whispered to myself. It had to be, given the great choreography the pair of Cooper’s hawks had displayed. Almost like ballet moves in the air. Days later I witnessed another spectacular springtime perfor- mance, this time high in the sky along a country road, starring two dark birds I thought at first were crows. They were flying together, relatively close to one another, and when they continued to do so, my attention was snagged. So many birds you see cross- ing the sky are on their way some- where, heading in a straight line toward whatever their destination. These two seemed to be flying just for the joy of it, circling around and weaving back, much more intent on one another than on “getting” anywhere, and always keeping the same distance between them. They weren’t crows. They were ravens, which are much more agile on the wing. Crows often fly around carrying a stick in their bill come spring, their version of a mating ritual. The ravens I watched ... well, they might have been in love, and expressing their mutual attraction in a truly elegant aerial display. Ravens have been moving south from cottage country in the last decade. While they’re not yet com- mon here, courting pairs might be seen almost anywhere in Durham. Courtship flights are part of mourning doves’ mating behav- ior. See one swooping in a circle overhead, wings flat, and you’ll know it’s a male showing off for a female. Rock pigeons fly about with their wings tipped up in a V. Male horned larks fly high in the air above bare fields and sing their twittering song, just like skylarks in Europe. Twilight is the time to catch the courtship flights of American woodcock. A male walks about in a wet, brushy field announc- ing his presence to females with repeated nasal “beemp” calls. All at once he takes to the air and cir- cles high overhead, the wind in his wings making a soft twittering, chirping sound. A minute or two later he plunges to earth again, to the very spot he took off from, and resumes beeping. What female could resist? Common snipe courtship dis- plays can be witnessed day or night in damp places with some vegetation near ponds. They too take to the sky to attract a mate’s attention, the wind rushing past their spread tail feathers creat- ing a hollow, pulsing, winnowing sound.

Amazing rescue in Pickering Kristen CAlis kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- On her drive home from a long day of rescuing wildlife, Chris McConnell wasn’t expecting, but was indeed prepared for, what she was about to encounter. The Ajax resident and wildlife photographer had spent the day taking part in the rescue of a preg- nant raccoon, a sick fox and a bea- ver release while volunteering with the Toronto Wildlife Centre. “After a day of animals in distress I always have a craving to see healthy animals in their natural environ- ment,” she said in an interview. So she took the back roads home, and drove through an area in north Pickering where there tends to be coyotes and hawks. But it was “a little white fluffy thing” that caught her eye and compelled her to stop. “The look on its face said ‘please help me’ and ‘please don’t come near me’ at the same time,” Ms. McConnell said on her blog, Gone Wild Photography. As always, she had her rescue kit -- consisting of a net and kennel cab -- in the back of her car. “I was so tired but I thought ‘I’ve got to do one more rescue today or I’m not sleeping tonight,’” she said. As Ms. McConnell approached, a Himalayan cat -- filthy with scruffy hair, an apparent eye infection and weak legs - scampered away, low to the ground, apparently in distress. “Then there was no choice,” she said. “I had to get him.” Ms. McConnell chased the slow cat and caught him in her net, even- tually transferring him to safety. “I tell you it was the best feeling in the world when I closed that kennel cab door,” she said. “It was amaz- ing.” After calling Pickering Animal Services, she met officer Jennifer Hayden at the shelter. On the car ride, the cat’s hisses turned into meows and he quickly devoured the food Ms. Hayden pro- vided when they met. Ms. Hayden had just gotten home from a full day of calls herself regarding a hawk, a deer, a coyote and raccoons. Plus there were 17 cats dropped off at the shelter that day. She met Ms. McConnell and scanned the cat in hopes of finding his owner, but there was no micro- chip. He’s declawed and neutered, a clear giveaway that he once had a home. There’s no doubt someone had dumped him there, said Ms. Hayden. “I think she got that cat just in time because there’s no way it would have survived,” she said. Now with room to play, the cat seems to be getting strength in his legs. “It’s almost like he’s learning to walk again,” said Ms. Hayden, add- ing she hopes the weakness in his legs was only from a lack of exer- cise. The cat was diagnosed with a uri- nary tract infection and is 12 years old. Ms. Hayden said if someone wishes to adopt him, they must be prepared for medical costs. She said this sweet, beautiful Hima- layan could become the resident shelter cat where he’ll get the care and attention he needs. Ms. McCo- nnell would have loved to adopt the cat herself, but her dog doesn’t like felines. Her neighbours, however, are also meeting with Ms. Hayden to see if they might make suitable owners. This is not Ms. McConnell’s first feline rescue. A couple years ago she found a cat that had been hit by a car in Ajax. Luckily it was alive and was eventually reunited with its family. Read more of Ms. McConnell’s adventures at gonewildphotogra- phy.blogspot.ca. Upcoming On April 7 from noon to 4 p.m. the Newf Friends Newfoundland Dog Rescue is hosting a ‘Pictures with the Easter Bunny’ fundraiser. All proceeds will go to Newf Friends to help cover the cost of vet- erinary care for the dogs in the program.

The goal of the Include Me campaign is to raise $250,000 between April 1 and June 30. Close to 1,000 local children with special needs and dis- abilities are on the waiting list because resources are limited. “The children on the wait lists are our friends’ children, our neighbours’ children. These are our children and they need your help,” says Vicky Earle, execu- tive director at Grandview Chil- dren’s Foundation. The recent Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services says children access- ing early and timely interven- tions will result in positive out- comes such as the child partici- pating actively in society and in the workplace as an adult. “Research as well as extensive experience shows that early intervention is key and that the sooner children are identified as needing specialized support, and the sooner they access it, the better their chances of suc- cess,” says Lorraine Sunstrum- Mann, Grandview’s executive director.

FOREVER YOUNG INFORMATION www.foreveryoungnews.coM | APrIL 2012 A DurhAM regIon MeDIA grouP ADvertIsIng feAture cAnADA’s ADuLt LIfestyLe PuBLIcAtIonCANCER MONTH Canine cancer cures help hounds and humans Veterinary researchers belonging to a new field of science known as comparative oncology are studying cancer in dogs to better understand and accelerate cancer research and treatment in humans. “Dogs share many of the same kinds of cancers as humans, including skin, bone and breast cancer, and, on a molecular level, these cancers are very similar,” said Dr. Cheryl London, an associate professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University’s Center for Clinical and Transitional Science. “That means, as we treat dogs and try out new therapies, we’re also able to apply those findings to advance human research – and vice versa.” London and her colleagues hope studying cancer in dogs can help inform human research and ultimately translate into more efficient studies as well as a focus on investigational therapeutics that are more likely to succeed in human trials. A good example is osteosarcoma. London’s research using canine osteosarcoma tissue samples and cell lines and then testing new therapies in dogs with osteosarcoma helped to inform researchers about which therapies may be more likely to be effective in human patients. This approach speeds the research process and reduces the chance of subsequent treatment failures in human clinical trials. The process works both ways. “People are often surprised ... to learn that many human cancer therapies are also available for their pet,” says London, who was the lead investigator on clinical trials using toceranib (Palladia), the first cancer drug approved for use in dogs. London offers the following tips about pets and cancer: • Cancer is responsible for nearly half the deaths in pets over the age of 10 and, just like humans, early diagnosis and treatment can often improve the outcome. • Know if your breed is predisposed to certain types of cancers. Bernese mountain dogs, pugs and golden retrievers have a higher incidence of certain types of cancer. If you are aware, you can be on the lookout and be informed. • Changes in appetite, weight, behavior or energy level are signs that an animal is not feeling well. Swelling, discharge or sores that don’t heal should never be ignored. • Have your pet examined by a vet at least annually, and biannually if older than seven years. • If your dog is diagnosed with cancer, there may be cutting edge therapies and/or clinical trials available.

The next flight is April 14 when a Songwriters Music Festival takes the stage at the St. Francis Centre in Ajax. And Whitby songwriter Ron Beer says the musicians are start- ing to gel as they play together, both at festival events and out of the public eye. But Beer says that doesn’t mean he’s forgetting why he got the songwriters across Durham together in the first place. “If you are a songwriter and you are looking for an avenue of growth for your original music, this is it man,” he says. “We are still interested in audi- tioning new songwriters; we need to audition some percus- sion players for Durham.” Still, Beer says “we are devel- oping a core group of people,” supporting musicians for festival events, a talented backing band. As at the Whitby concert earlier this year, percussionist BJ Laub of Windsor will lend his talents to the event. And Ajax saxman Paul Scofield will also perform at the concert. A new name is Pickering musician Rick MacMillan, who came to the Whitby festival ear- lier this year and liked what he saw and heard. “He’s a really, really good guitar player,” Beer says. “He’s another guy like Paul; he wants to be in the background and make every- body look good.” Also taking the stage in Ajax are musical partners Ed Babut and Ray Smith, who will once again co-host the event. Kimberly Clarke of Oshawa and James Simpson of Bowmanville will also be performing. “They’ve created a duo and they’ve started working with Ed and Ray,” Beer notes. Pickering bassist Roger Beck- ett, Oshawa’s G.T. Harris and Courtice’s Eric Christensen are also on the bill. Show time is 8 p.m. The St. Francis Centre is at 78 Church St. S., Ajax. Tickets are available online at www.songwritersmusicfestival. com. Or get tickets in person at Debbie’s Cafe, 94 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax, and at PJ’s Restaurant, 315 Brock St. S., Whitby. photo by stuaRt bloweR WHITBY -- Musicians who performed at the Jan. 28 Songwriters Music Festival in Whitby took the stage at Whitby Courthouse Theatre to close out the show.

Partially spurred on by a reprint of Natalie Wood’s Fatal Voyage (Vanity Fair - Winter 2012), it brought all kinds of speculation about what exactly occurred that fateful weekend off Santa Catali- na Island on board the yacht, The Splendour. It also directed attention to a benchmark, realistic movie about youth (one of the first), Rebel Without A Cause (1955), which still holds up very well. The film was the vehicle that launched Natalie Wood’s consid- erable, successful transition from popular child actress (Miracle On 34th Street, 1947) to movie star- dom as an adult (Love With The Proper Stranger, 1963). But in the end, Wood and several players of Rebel met an uncharacteristic, tragic fade-out. James Dean (1931-1955): Dean’s tinseltown shooting star was rap- idly taking off with the succes- sion of three bound-to-be, criti- cally acclaimed movies, when his life was cut short after starring in East Of Eden (1954). Before the release of Rebel Without A Cause, Dean was killed Oct. 30, 1955 in his Porsche in a head-on crash with another vehicle going the wrong way. He had just complet- ed Giant (1956) with Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. Nick Adams (1931-1968): Adams died at 38 of a drug over- dose. His biggest claim to fame was as Johnny Yuma in the TV series, The Rebel (1959-1961). Also, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Academy Awards) for Twilight Of Honour (1963). Reportedly, Adams spent $8,000 of his own money cam- paigning for the award, but lost to Melvyn Douglas (Hud). Sal Mineo (1939-1976): Rebel Without A Cause also served as Sal Mineo’s first big chance at stardom. Mineo then rode high in motion pictures with such titles as Rock Pretty Baby (1956), Dino (1957), The Gene Krupa Story (1959), Exodus (1960 –- Academy Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor) and the offbeat Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965). At 37, he was stabbed to death on Feb. 12, 1976, outside his rented apartment, as a result of a botched robbery attempt. The killer didn’t know who he had attacked until later on. After the killer was overheard bragging about his actions, an arrest and conviction for Mineo’s murder was made. Sal Mineo had some success as a recording artist for Epic, a subsidiary of the major Columbia Records. His best-sell- ing single was Start Movin’ in 1957. SUPPORTING CAST Edward Platt (1916-1974) He was ‘The Chief’ in television’s Get Smart (1965-1970). Platt commit- ted suicide, according to family members, due to depression and financial worries. Vic Morrow (1929-1982) Mor- row had a very brief, uncredited screen appearance in Rebel With- out A Cause as a gang hoodlum. Morrow and two children were instantly killed as a result of a helicopter accident on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983).

Over time, the two have developed a relation- ship that is mutually rewarding. As the awards continue to pile up for the Ajax wrestler, so too do the air miles, as the 16 year old will be off to Thailand in September to com- pete in the Junior World Championships. That’s a long way from the first days on the mat, when she wasn’t so sure that wrestling was the sport for her. “I was the only tomboy in the family, so my uncle, Stan Tzogas, he talked to my parents and said, ‘Bring Braxton out for wrestling,’” recalls the Grade 11 student at Pickering High School. “I went and I tried it and at first it was really chal- lenging and I didn’t like it that much. But as the years went on I started loving it, so now it’s my life.” It was six years ago that she joined Team Impact, wrestling under the guidance of her uncle at the club. Turns out uncle Stan has a great eye for potential, noting that in his almost 25 years of coaching, he has only seen one other wrestler with the same attributes his niece car- ries. “She’s the total package, mentally, physically, technically and tactically. She’s firing on all cyl- inders,” he says. At the school level, Papadopoulos is a multi- sport athlete. She is three-time OFSAA provin- cial champion in wrestling, winning gold in her weight class in grades 9, 10 and 11. She also com- peted on the track at OFSAA, finishing top-8 in the 80m hurdles after winning gold in the same event at LOSSA, and she qualified for the OFSAA cross-country championships as well. During her runs to the OFSAA wrestling podi- um, she has only had one point scored against her in the three years, and that came in her Grade 9 year, pitted against an opponent who was in Grade 12. At the club level, she is starting to dominate at the national level, ready to make the same splash internationally. She is a two-time national U17 champion, and at the Junior Nationals this year, had just one point scored against her in the march to the gold medal. Testing her abilities against older com- petition, she proved successful yet again, win- ning the U20 Nationals held at Brock University. At the Senior Nationals she finished sixth. She manages to keep all of the accomplish- ments in perspective. “I just keep in my head that I’ve accomplished so much, especially for my age, so I should be able to compete and I like showing people what I’m good at.” As for the stigma that girls don’t compete in sports like wrestling, she brushes that off just as easily as many of the opponents she faces. “I’m really competitive,” she says. “To me, any- thing the guys can do, I want to be able to do bet- ter.” Last year she competed at the Cadet World Championships in Hungary, her first interna- tional event, losing her only match to place 10th. This time around at the World Juniors in Thai- land she is targeting a top-four finish in the 63kg class, where she will square off against oppo- nents up to 20 years of age. “I’m definitely nervous,” she says of the Sep- tember event. “Especially because everyone is older, but I’ve been training hard so I think I should do well.” To that end, she spends 20 hours a week train- ing. She hopes that one day it leads her to the biggest of all international competitions: the Olympic Games. “I’d love to go to the Olympics and place at the Olympics. It’s like a dream.” Jason lieBregts / Metroland AJAX -- Braxton Papadopoulos is a three-time OFSAA provincial high school wrestling champion who is off to Thailand in the fall to com- pete at the Junior World Championships. HoCKey Wakefield competing for gold with Canada PICKERING -- Having just recently completed her collegiate career, Jenn Wakefield is back on the ice extend- ing her international career with Team Canada. The Pickering resident is in Bur- lington, Vermont, where she will rep- resent Canada at the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship, taking place April 7-14. The tournament gets underway Saturday for Canada, who will face their arch-rival, the Unit- ed States, in the featured game of the opening day. Canada is in Group A, and will play games Sunday against Finland and Tuesday against Russia. Group B includes Germany, Sweden, Slovakia and Switzerland. The gold medal game goes Satur- day, April 14. In a pre-tournament game in Otta- wa on Saturday, Canada blanked the U.S. 1-0. Wakefield, a 22-year-old senior captain with Boston University, closed out her collegiate career in March, as her Terriers were edged 8-7 by Cornell in triple overtime of the NCAA quar- terfinals. In her final game, Wakefield scored once and added two assists. She finished her unbelievable col- legiate career with 206 points on 120 goals and 86 assists. She is the only skater in Hockey East history to have reached the 100-goal plateau and became the second league skater to score 200 career points. HoCKey overtime loss halts playoff run for dunlops WHITBY -- The Whitby Dunlops have fallen short in their journey toward another appearance in the Allan Cup national championship. Having rallied to force a decisive Game 7 in their league final against the Dundas Real McCoys, the Dunlops were shockingly cast aside in overtime, falling 5-4 in front of a boisterous gath- ering at Iroquois Park Sunday. Justin Davis finished off a pretty passing play from Darryl Smith and Ryan Christie, deflecting the puck past a helpless Joel Whitmarsh just under eight minutes into the extra frame. It was the third time in the series that the Dunlops had been knocked off in overtime, with identical 4-3 losses playing out in Game 3 and Game 4. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 22 AP Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

Such was the case for the three overage players for the Oshawa Generals on Sunday, most nota- ble among them Andy Andreoff, a Pickering native who leaves the team he grew up cheering for as its all-time games-played leader. Andreoff admitted Sunday, after his team’s 4-1 season-ending loss to the Niagara IceDogs, that the emotions got the better of him as the clock ticked down before 4,303 fans at the General Motors Centre. “Yeah, it hit me in the last min- ute and a half there, when our coach asked me if I wanted to fin- ish it off there,” said Andreoff, who accepted coach Gary Agnew’s offer. “I had a little tear in my eye and I was kind of skating around, looking at the fans and realized it was my last game.” It was an eventful tenure for Andreoff, who came on the scene as a fifth-round draft pick, 90th overall, in 2007, and played only 25 games that first season, with one assist to show for it. Listed at 150 pounds on draft day, Andreoff grew and improved steadily over his five years here, ultimately becoming a 200- pound power forward who put up impressive enough 33-42-75 numbers last season that he was drafted, two years after first being eligible, in the third round by the Los Angeles Kings. He didn’t quite find that same groove this season, but still ended up with more points (58) than games played (57), and finished his career with 81 goals and 207 points in 281 career regular sea- son games. When asked if he was proud of topping the list for games played, he didn’t hesitate in saying, “Absolutely, I mean look at all the guys who have played in the orga- nization for the Oshawa Generals ... It’s a real honour to be a part of that. “Me and my family used to come to all of the Oshawa Gener- als games, so to actually get draft- ed by them and play for them, it was really special,” he added. Joining Andreoff in the sure-to- be gone category are fellow over- agers Julian Melchiori and Daniel Maggio, leaving the blue-line fur- ther depleted after the loss of Cal- vin de Haan, Scott Valentine and Tony DeHart a year earlier. Boone Jenner, Andreoff, Julian Melchiori, Nicklas Jensen and Christian Thomas are off to join their respective American Hockey Leagues clubs. Jenner will play for the Springfield Falcons, Andreoff will be joining the Manchester Monarchs, Melchiori is going to the St. John’s IceCaps, Jens- en joins the Chicago Wolves and Thomas is headed for the Con- necticut Whale. ryan Pfeiffer / fiLe PHOtO OSHAWA -- Pickering’s Andy Andreoff played his last game with the Oshawa Generals when they were eliminated from the playoffs on the weekend. HOckey Pair of Raiders highlight prospects for OHL draft chris Brill-Morgan and trent Shore on list of players to watch SHawn cayLey scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Fresh off an a sweep in the ETA final, members of the Ajax-Pickering Raiders minor midget team have yet anoth- er big weekend ahead with the 2012 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection. The two players most likely to see their names appear during the first five rounds of the pro- ceedings, which will play out live, pick-by-pick on the OHL website Saturday morning start- ing at 9 a.m., are forward Chris Brill-Morgan and defenceman Trent Shore. Brill-Morgan is a six-foot- two forward with a bright future, according to Sean Lafor- tune, director of scouting for TheScout.ca. “Brill-Morgan is a kid that is all about projectable upside,” said Lafortune who has the for- ward listed as his 116th skat- er on a list of the top-200. “I’m very much a fan of what he can become. I think he was a point- a-game with Ajax-Pickering this year and what I like is his com- bination of size and mobility. He skates really well for a six- two kid. “He has the potential to be a heck of a lot more than what he is right now. He’s physical, will- ing to the lay the body on the line. I’m a big fan of his.” As for Shore, listed at No. 137 on the same list, he doesn’t pos- sess much of the same offen- sive capabilities that some of the higher-ranked blueliners in the draft do, but his penchant for playing a physical game has opened some eyes and should serve him well on draft day. “A nasty, physical defence- man,” Lafortune said simply in describing Shore. “You won’t get much offence out of him, but what you will get is a guy willing to do what it takes to win battles in his own zone. In front of his own net he is one of the more aggressive players I have seen this year and down low and along the boards, he’s very good at pinning opposition forwards. “What most people like about him is unlike a lot of kids in this age group, he loves to play phys- ical, he knows his role and plays it well.” While those aforementioned two will likely be the highest drafted off the Raiders roster, it’s all but a given others will also find OHL homes throughout the 15-round process. 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 • Ap r i l 5 , 2 0 1 2 23 AP Canadian Owned Canadian Owned & Family Operated Canadian Owned Canadian Owned Your ProjectCentre ServingTheCommunityForOve r 61 Years!

Team members are Margot Flemming, Carter Adair and Megan Arnold with Jennifer McGhee coaching. After the round robin, the team tied for first place with two others. The first tiebreak- er sidelined the foursome. In the same venue and time, the Matt Hall team competed in the OCA Bantam Mixed Ontario finals. His team members are Kaitlin Jewer, Cody McGhee, Emma Becker and with Lesley Pyne as coach. They ended in a four-way tie for second place with a 4-3 record. Annandale hosted the OCA Dominion Regalia Men’s Sil- ver Tankard and the OCA Wom- en’s Tankard Ontario finals on Sunday, April 1. It was the dou- ble team competition. The team of Christine Pierce with Stacey Hogan, Suzanne Miller and Leah- anne Legrow along with the team of Meaghan Snow with Tracy O’Leary, Sandra Thain and Joan O’Leary won in the zone, but lost at the Regional in Weston on March 31. The Annandale Men’s Com- petitive League started the year- end playdowns on March 27. The divisional winners after the third draw have been announced. In A it was Chris Van Huyse with Pat- rick Janssen, Tyler Anderson and Matt Van Huyse taking the hon- ours.

Jim Easson curling HigH SCHool Pine Ridge tears up track PICKERING -- The Pine Ridge Pumas had six athletes partici- pate at the York University Lions Indoor Invitational Track Meet. It was a meet designed to serve as the last tune-up before the opening of the outdoor track sea- son. While the team was small in numbers, it performed extreme- ly well. Leading the way for Pine Ridge were Tia Thevenin and Tyra Forbes. Thevenin was victorious in the junior girls’ 60m sprint hurdles in a time of 9.18 and also placed second in the junior girls’ 300m sprint in a time of 43.58. She also participated in the long jump event for the first time and placed seventh in the senior girls’ divi- sion with a personal best leap of 4.46m. Forbes, meanwhile, placed second in the senior girls’ long jump with a personal best leap of 5.16m. She also placed fourth in the senior girls’ 60m sprint hurdles in a time of 9.47, also a personal best. Closing things out, Forbes fin- ished seventh in the senior girls’ 300m sprint in a time of 44.19. Other notable performances by Pine Ridge athletes included Logan Jones winning the junior boys’ 300m sprint in a personal best time of 37.63, Emma Kiku- lis placing second in the senior girls’ high jump with a leap of 1.55m, William Rusell crossing seventh in the senior boys’ 300m sprint in a personal best time of 37.22, and Tenisha Wilmot fin- ishing 12th in the senior girls’ 300m sprint in a personal best time 44.75.

Our closeness to the warmth of God’s nal light re ects the deeds of our lives. Victorine Chesney’s life was marked by humility, generos- ity, love, kindness, self control, faith, temperance, and zeal that guarantees her spot basking in the warmth of God. Her love was sel ess and pure, void of pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony and sloth. The world lost a positive force on April 9th, 2007 and God gained an Angel. We love and miss you.
