Somewhere in Whitby we have a remote camera perched over a nest watching a pair of robins who are raising three tiny nestlings. More than 4,500 unique view- ers have spent a total 2,200 hours watching the live feed of the com- ings and goings on durhamregion. com. Each morning we post updates on the activity in the nest and trivia about robins, from how they build a nest to how they feed their young. On Sunday, Day 8 of the Robin’s Nest Watch, we saw two of the three eggs hatch right before our eyes. Robin nestlings generally leave the nest in about 14 days so the next two weeks will be full of activity. Students in Grades 1 through 6 are encouraged to join in the Robin Watch by entering one of our two contests. Students in Grades 1 to 3 are invited to draw a picture of our robin and her nest, while students in Grades 4 to 6 are invited to write an eight-line poem for a chance to win a pizza lunch for their class.

Andrew Kreko, 23, of Toronto, has been formally charged and remanded in cus- tody after being hospitalized for what Durham police described as a self-inflict- ed leg injury, sustained during a dispute that also left a 40-year-old Ajax man with a head wound. Police said the incident began around 6:25 p.m. Saturday when a shot was fired during a dispute between two men on Falby Court. No one was injured at that time but the dispute continued in a park- ing lot at Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street with more shots fired, police said. Two Ajax youngsters say they froze in terror as the final stages of the incident in central Ajax played out in front of them. “My heart was crying, I was shaking, I just didn’t want to let anything out in case he saw us and shot us,” a 10-year- old witness said. “I was terrified, I just didn’t want to cry.” The area resident was walking with a 12-year-old neighbour to go shopping as the scene unfolded Saturday, May 5. “We heard a couple of bangs, and we looked up and we saw some cops,” the 12 year old said. “We saw a dude with a gun, but it looked like he sort of ran away, and then we saw one guy fall, and that was the guy who got shot in the head ... I started crying. “The guy that was shot in the head was laying down and trying to say some- thing, but no one could understand him,” added the witness, saying the man seemed “kind of paralyzed” as he was loaded onto an air ambulance to be taken to hospital. The witnesses reported police told them to flee the scene after the shooter himself fled on foot. Shots are said to have been fired throughout the incident that took the men past two elementary schools, a public park, a child-care centre and a church. Witnesses reported that a stray bullet struck an occupied car in the Harwood plaza parking lot, leaving the vehicle’s young female driver visibly shaken but physically unharmed. “A girl’s car window got shot at while she was driving,” said the 12-year-old witness. “(The bullet struck) in the mid- dle of the passenger and driver seats. She was getting ready to park.” The 12-year-old witness said she was shocked by the situation. “When you hear about drugs and fights in Ajax, that’s normal, but when you hear about a gun, that’s not normal,” she said. Just one gun was involved, police said. Both men were found at the scene of the shooting by responding officers. The Ajax man was treated for a serious but not life-threatening head wound. The 40-year-old victim was to have been released from hospital Monday. The accused shooter was also hospital- ized with a leg wound. Mr. Kreko is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, a several weapons offences. He remains in custo- dy.

Organized by Pickering Cares, the food drive will collect donations for St. Paul’s- on-the-Hill and Salvation Army food banks. On May 12 volunteers will collect donations from homes to benefit the community food banks, with more than 25,000 Pickering homes included in the campaign area. Donations can be dropped off at all Pickering fire halls or at the drop box in the Pickering Town Centre at the Zellers entrance until May 19. “This year we’re pleased that the Pickering Town Centre has come on board to support our efforts,” said Mike Fischer, project man- ager for the food drive. ‘Going into our third year we were looking at doing something a little different, and the team has really come through with some- thing great.” Donation bags were distributed to homes through the News Advertiser on May 3 and people are being asked to leave donation bags on their porches by 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 12, when volunteers will come around to collect items. Food will be sorted and packed at the Amberlea Church and then delivered to the food banks. In 2011, more than 300 volunteers spent over 2,000 hours helping with the Commu- nity Food Drive campaign. As a result, 10,491 pounds of much-needed food was collected and split between both food banks. The team is hoping to exceed these num- bers for 2012 and volunteers are still needed to help with collection. Anyone interested in volunteering can sign up via e-mail at pickeringcaresvolun- teers@gmail.com These hours qualify as volunteer hours for Grade 9 through 12 students. Sharing Cab driver accused of sex assault in Pickering PICKERING -- Charges have been laid against a taxi driver accused of making sexual advances toward a male passen- ger in Pickering. The offence is alleged to have occurred at about midnight on Feb. 25, Durham police said. A 23-year-old Whitby man said he got into the cab in the vicini- ty of Liverpool and Kingston roads and that as he was driven to Whitby he was touched inappropriately by the male driver, who made sexual comments. The man called police after being dropped off. A lengthy investigation resulted in charges that were announced Thurs- day. Nadeem Mujahid, 52, of Mornelle Court in Scarborough, is charged with sexual assault. Feedback Romantic notion is outdated To the editor: Re: ‘Durham incinerator goes against principles of nature’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, April 2, 2012. If we don’t yet have sufficient recycle or re-use systems invented or in place and we need an immediate solution to dispose of our garbage then incineration just has to be a better way than chucking our gar- bage in a hole to fester and pollute for a 100 years or more. No, incineration is not the final answer but it’s the safest system for our planet that is immediately available. And yes, some of our native peoples do have a beautiful contract with nature beyond most of ours but having lived with an Ojibway girl for two years in the 1970s, proudly wearing my ‘Save James Bay’ but- ton, including two weeks on a Navajo reserve in the United States interviewing the principal of the Rough Rock Demon- stration School and another academic contact at Albuquerque University, and having pursued native studies for longer than that period, I have come to realize that not all indigenous people have that connection. This is especially true when you con- sider that hunting and fishing today involves the use of high-powered rifles with telescopic sights, snowmobiles and outboard motors on boats, a far cry from snowshoeing in the bush with a bow and arrow or fishing from a canoe. Sorry, but we have a very romantic image of their connection to nature, not lived up to in most cases and which has very little to do with not building an incinerator. David R. Filbey-Haywood Pickering community Timely tips for yard sale hosts To the editor: Now that yard sale season is in full swing, here are some reminders for area resident who are running a sale: 1. Please make your signs visible and add a big black arrow to point us in the right direction. An address is no good without this. 2. Put the day and date on the sign so people don’t drive to sales that no longer exist. 3. Price items so we know more or less how much you expect. 4. Don’t have your friends and family standing in the way of your tables, talking loudly or even drinking. It makes your cus- tomers uncomfortable and they’ll leave. 5. Put out only items you want to sell. 6. Know the prices of all items at your sale, even if they belong to other family members. 7. Last but not least, if you do nothing else, do this: take your sign down right after your sale. We have wasted a lot of gas fol- lowing signs that were still up months after the sale ended. Thank you and happy yard-sale-ing. Wanda and Tom Howie Courtice Feedback Reader’s sense of entitlement is irksome To the editor: Re: ‘Please show courtesy in parking lots’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, March 5, 2012. Seriously, you want those of us who are not with children to park farther from your car? Farther from your car parked in a space where you are given special consid- eration, just because you have children? I absolutely respect handicapped park- ing, and am well aware that there is often too little of it available. I walk gladly, very happy that I can. However, I am not going to give consid- eration to this entitled generation because they have children. If you need more space, there is usually plenty at the far end of the parking lot. You and your children could undoubtedly do with the walk. M.E. Pucknell Whitby & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

An adolescence marred by sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted man in his life is a reflec- tion, a singular representation, of a story that has sadly unfolded for thousands of other boys. The sexual abuse led Mr. Masciangelo on a difficult journey that saw periods of self- abuse, crushing loneliness, drugs, alcohol and prostitution. Today’s he’s a survivor who spends a large portion of his time rais- ing awareness about the effects of childhood sex abuse, the abiding guilt that survivors confront, and perhaps most importantly, the lack of accessible and available resourc- es that exist for male survivors to help them heal. He spoke to a rapt audience at Durham College last week to share his tale and is today, at age 28, a man with a clear pur- pose and a bright future. Therapy and group counselling helped him confront his past, deal with the demons in his life, and embrace the future that now beckons. His initial attempts at seeking help from official sources -- his first call was to a rape crisis line at York University -- were met with much compassion but little in the way of concrete advice or agencies he could con- tact for services that deal with male sexual abuse. He was eventually connected with a men’s support group where he discovered that he wasn’t alone, that there are other survivors of abuse who shared similar sto- ries, and that his experience wasn’t at all uncommon. That led to a turning point for his over- all health, and a growing recognition that something had to be done. Today, Mr. Masciangelo provides leader- ship in advocating for victims of male child- hood sexual abuse, calling for services spe- cifically to address the issue, shattering myths and dated perceptions, and raising awareness in communities small and large. His courage in doing so is admirable and will serve as an example to the silent victims whose abuse has gone unreported. But it must also provide the impetus for local governments and social agencies to address the gap in services that exists for Durham Region residents. Public educa- tion campaigns, a hotline geared specifical- ly towards male victims of sexual abuse, and an accessible list of services that do exist locally would support local victims who, like Mr. Masciangelo, have made the decision to confront their abuse, deal with its impact, and start the road to recovery. I’m doing a solo canoe trip next week. My first one, ever. It’s nothing huge, mind you, just a few nights alone in Algonquin’s inte- rior. Still, it’s a little daunting. It will be the first time I’ve been really alone in a long while. I’m not even taking the dog. I had thought about bringing him along. I like his company and he seems to tolerate me well enough, but I would end up talking to him. And I’d like to not talk ... at all. I know I will, of course. I’ll probably jab- ber like a monkey for the first little while. I talk to myself all day long most days. But I’m wondering -- hoping, actually -- that over a prolonged period of isolation, the talking might stop entirely. And then what? Two outcomes have crossed my mind; either complete Zen-like nirvana or mas- sive mental breakdown. Naturally, I’m hop- ing to avoid the latter. But who can know? How do we know how we’ll fare until we’ve tested our mettle? And so, yes, I’m excited about this trip, but also a tad apprehensive. In my worst moments I have awful visions of me sitting bolt upright in my sleeping bag, terrified to hysteria by the complete and utter, inky silence. Or worse, the deafening roar of the pri- mal night. Shrieking like a schoolgirl, I tear through the tent flap, fling myself into the canoe and paddle maniacally for the near- est electric lights. I guess that could hap- pen. Like I say, who knows? I imagine a solo canoe trip is a little like dropping acid for the first time. I’ve not done that either but I’ve heard stories. What if, like LSD, the isolation of the woods forces me to confront my real self? Strips me of all my civilized veneer and leaves me naked, ugly and boring? What if I don’t like what I’m left with? What if I’m really a jerk? Holy cow. Whose idea was this stupid trip anyway? I would bail entirely if it weren’t for that ‘thing’. That precious, glittering something that beckons me forward and waits at the end of it all. I seem to have a cellular memory, some- thing written as deeply as my DNA that tells me this solitude will not only be good but long overdue and very, very necessary. It’s as though the woods and the water and stars are calling to me ... have been whis- pering to me all of my life, in fact ... want- ing desperately to share with me their piece of the puzzle, their wisdom. I have certainly felt snatches of this, heard some- thing speaking to me on short forest walks or lonely afternoons of snowshoeing. But I’ve never stayed long enough to get the whole message, the complete download. And three or four days of isolation may not be nearly enough, but I have a hunch it will certainly be transformative. I am almost 52 years old and have spent probably 95 per cent of that time in the company, or certainly proximity, of other humans and the attendant noise, clutter and business that comes with them. That suddenly strikes me as not only wrong but a little tragic and quite possibly unhealthy. This is supposed to be the age of informa- tion. And although most of us are so thor- oughly plugged in we are getting pinged, tweeted or texted by the minute, we’re missing out on a lot of the really important data. The stuff you can only hear by com- pletely unplugging. The priceless mes- sages that are carried within the sound of silence. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 9 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: Boy or a girl, or boy, or girl, or...

Online movie blog readers weigh in with views of their own MIKE JOHNSTON - MANAGING EDITOR I was off last week so instead of com- ing back to work and throwing together a column, I’ve grabbed a part of my movie review for the Avengers, which opened last week. Remember, you can log onto the Movie Time blog at durhamregion.com to share your movie opinions and have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to AMC Theatres in Whitby. As I expected I loved the new Avengers movie but surprisingly to me I didn’t walk out of the theatre think- ing it was one of the best superhero mov- ies I have ever seen. The first Spiderman movie and the first Iron Man both left a better impression on me. I would give the new Avengers a 4.9 out of five We recently invited our online readers to go see some new releases, -- the good, the bad and the ugly, to make a film reference -- and share their views with me online.

It was absolutely worth the wait... 5/5 for me anyway...’ FROM commenter The_Nevelyn Better than Great! 6 out of 5 ‘I still can’t get over how surreal it is to see all these characters together in one movie. And despite these guys being able to stand on their own with their own movie franchises this movie was able to give everyone their due. I don’t think any- one out shined the other, although if Hulk was their any longer than he was he would have definitely stole the show. A better than great movie. 6 out of 5!’ CA P T A I N A M E R I C A 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 • Ma y 9 , 2 0 1 2 8 P JIM WITTER:FEELING GROOVY A MUSICAL JOURNEY OF THE 60s THROUGH THE MUSIC OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL REGENT THEATRE TICKETS ONSALE NOW University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology Friday June 15, 2012, 8 p.m. Tickets $39.00 plus tx/sc • www.regenttheatre.ca 905-721-3399 Ext.2 • 50 King St. E.

In Canada, more than three people are killed on the job every working day, leaving behind families, friends and co- workers impacted by the tragic loss. This year’s walk raised $12,300 in sup- port of Threads of Life, an organization that support programs and services to families dealing with the aftermath of a workplace tragedy. These programs include one-on-one peer support, regional family forums, links to external support services and advisory support surrounding the work- place investigation and inquest process. “This was the second annual walk in Durham Region with phenomenal sup- port from a large cross-section of work- places including both the public and pri- vate sector,” she continued. “The walk has a serious message, but it’s still a fun day for everyone of all ages and people had a great time. “We exceeded our fundraising efforts from last year by about $5,000 so we were really pleased.” Threads of Life was created in 2003 and serves more than 1,100 families living with the impact of a workplace tragedy across Canada. In addition to support services, it offers families the opportunity to take action to help prevent similar tragedies to other families. It has the only peer support program in the world delivered by a team of trained volunteer family guides made up of fam- ily members who have experienced their own workplace tragedy. Anyone interested in volunteering please contact Threads of Life at 1-888- 567-9490.

Share your experiences,expectations and vision for what you believe your downtown should represent. Join us at the second open house as we move forward with an Intensification Study for Downtown Pickering, which will result in a built form vision, official plan amendment,and urban design guidelines. Our lakefront backyard,miles of pristine hiking trails, green space,and rich historical backdrops are pleasantly balanced by an emerging modern downtown, surrounded by a wealth of amenities.We call on your expertise - the people who live,work, and play here,to help create a connected,dynamic,colourful central hub that Pickering residents will be proud to call their downtown. It has been identified as an “Urban Growth Centre”and Mobility Hub by the Province of Ontario, and has received several recent transit improvements. Building on these investments, the downtown is planned to accommodate a total of 20,000 residents and jobs combined over the next 20 years.The City has brought a consulting team on board,to prepare a vision, and ultimately an official plan amendment,for what this growth should look like. The public will be provided an opportunity to review the results of an invitation only workshop held earlier in the day that explored the scale and form of new buildings and uses, public realm, and transportation improvements and opportunities.Materials (including maps, drawings, and an in-progress 3D foam model) will be available to view, and a guided tour of the work will be held from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.The results of the group discussions from Community Event #1 will also be summarized. Pickering’s greatest potential is realized when we work together, and help transform our ambitious dreams into magnificent realities.

DURHAM -- Unlike the flashy work they splash across con- crete canvasses, graffiti artists are, for the most part, faceless figures. Quick with their hands and even faster on their feet, perpe- trators often disappear once the deed is done, leaving behind no trace of their true identities. “Unless you actually catch them in the act or you have a spe- cific suspect you’re looking for, it’s a really hard investi- gation to do,” says Constable Glen Brown of Durham Regional Police. “Even if there’s video surveillance, they’re all wearing masks and gloves so we’re not getting the fingertips or identification through that.” In 2009, Const. Brown was part of a police unit that tracked down a group of young vandals who were tagging numerous walls in downtown Oshawa. While responding to complaints from the public, including residents and business owners, he witnessed first-hand the impact that graffiti can have on a community. “What we’ve noticed is that it creates fear in the public eye and the percep- tion that there might be gang activity in the area,” says Const. Brown. “I’ve also heard of cases where the property values have been lowered and people have had trouble renting out business- es due to graffiti.” Due to the sporadic nature of the crime in all areas, including Durham, police and municipal staff are often forced to tackle incidents of graffiti after the damage is done. “When somebody calls to report graffiti, we need to look at the issue within 24 hours and if it’s racial or vulgar, we have it removed immediately,” says Rob Gagen, supervisor of parks operations for the City of Pickering. Most removal projects are han- dled by municipal staff with contractors occasionally called in for more compli- cated jobs. “We do get a fair amount of graffiti but it tends to be cyclical so one year we’ll get inundated with it and then the following year, we have almost next to nothing,” says Tim Murphy, infrastructure and capital project supervisor for the Town of Ajax. “It’s one of those things that makes it really tough to create a budget because I can spend up to $25,000 annual- ly on graffiti removal or I can spend as little as a couple of thousand dollars annually.” In 2009, Ajax spent the most it’s ever spent on graffiti removal -- about $30,000. The City of Oshawa spent close to the same amount the fol- lowing year. According to a report released by City staff earli- er this year, the average cost for graffiti removal in Oshawa is about $50 per hour or more depending on the size of graffiti and the products needed for removal. “What we’ve noticed with graffiti in Oshawa is that it seems to come in waves and it doesn’t target the entire city,” says Jerry Conlin, director of municipal law enforcement and licensing for the City of Oshawa. “We’re getting a lot of it on Canada Post or utility boxes and the most prevalent private property areas (being targeted) are within the central business district and along arterial roads.” Staff from some municipalities, such as Ajax, take detailed reports of all graffiti incidents and forward the information to police. “For every instance of graffiti, we take a picture of it and we actually circulate it to Durham police because they want to know if there’s any gang graffiti that’s showing up in areas where they don’t expect it,” says Mr. Murphy, adding that the goal is to halt gang activity early on before it spreads deeper into a community. “The police have been a great help in educating us from their perspective.” Despite fluctuations across the board, some municipalities are generally hit less with graffiti than others and incidents tend to be more spread out than focused on a particular area. “There’s no rhyme or reason to it; sometimes it’s just wher- ever there’s a convenient spot that’s out of the way,” says Bob Genosko, operations supervisor in charge of parks for Claring- ton. The municipality invested about $11,000 in graffiti removal in 2010 compared to only $6,000 last year. Whitby spent around the same on graffiti removal in 2011, according to Bill Galbraith, the Town’s superintendent of operational ser- vices for parks. “Over the years, we feel pretty fortunate that although it’s a problem that does exist, we haven’t seen it as bad as you see in some other places,” he says. One reason for this could be the Town’s decision to allow graffiti art at two of its skateboard parks -- one near Iroquois Park Sports Centre and the other at Folkstone Park near the McKinney Centre. Artists are free to display their work at these locations as long as it’s not offensive. “What we’ve found is that by allowing it to happen there, it tends to stay there and there haven’t been any problems with graffiti throughout the rest of the park or on the arenas,” Mr. Galbraith says. That hasn’t been the case in Pickering. While the City also permits positive forms of graffiti at one of its skate parks, that hasn’t stopped vandals from tagging municipal signs in the area. “A substantial amount of resources go into cleaning and it’s just unfortunate,” says Mr. Gagen. “I’m not sure that the people doing it are aware of the tax repercussions and funding that goes into cleaning it up.” view the photo gallery ReAD the rest of the series @ durhamregion.com Part three of this three-part series will offer solutions for cleaning up negative graffiti in the community and how artists can express themselves positively Police, municipal staff take reactive approach to rubbing out the problem ron Pietroniro / Metroland wHiTBY -- Mike Bormann from the Town of whitby keeps a close eye on the graffiti at Folkstone Park.

The confident, 28-year- old man who recently stood in front of a rapt audience at Durham College bears no resemblance to that scared and desperate teen. Therapy and group coun- selling helped him turn from sexual abuse victim into sexual abuse survivor -- a transition many men struggle to make because of a desperate lack of services. It’s a gap experts are just beginning to recognize thanks to men like Mr. Mas- ciangelo, who are speaking out about what happened to them -- and what hap- pened in the aftermath. Mr. Masciangelo, a for- mer Oshawa resident, was just 11 when he first expe- rienced sexual abuse at the hands of an uncle, a man he idolized and saw as a father figure. A tumultuous childhood and strained relationship with his parents provided the perfect opportunity for his uncle to spend time with him and begin what he now recognizes was a lengthy grooming process. By the time things pro- gressed to sexual acts, Mr. Masciangelo says he “wasn’t shocked.” He recalls his uncle’s actions becoming increas- ingly brazen -- there would be touching while other family members were around -- under the dinner table, or under a blanket while watching a movie. “I let it continue because I wanted to be around him,” Mr. Masciangelo says. The abuse finally came to an abrupt end one night when Mr. Masciangelo was 14 and his uncle climbed into his bed after drinking too much. The teen threat- ened to tell others what had been happening. “For years after that I hated myself, because I thought I could have stopped it earlier if I had said some- thing,” he says. “But in the beginning I didn’t want it to stop because I didn’t want to lose my uncle ... I felt really guilty about that.” The years that followed were a steady decline for Mr. Masciangelo. At 16 he moved to Oshawa on his own and started attend- ing high school, but it was increasingly hard to keep up the facade of normal life. He started using drugs and cutting himself. With no idea where to get help, Mr. Masciangelo spi- ralled to the point where he was prostituting in Toron- to, the compliments and attention from johns acting as a balm to his emotional wounds. “I was amassing one cop- ing mechanism after anoth- er, there was the prostitu- tion, the cutting, the drugs. I became a shell of a person,” he says. When he finally scrounged up the courage to call a rape crisis line at York University, he found compassion but dead ends -- there were no services for male victims of sexual abuse. The news made him feel alone and isolated, as if he was the only man this had ever happened to. It wasn’t until he eventu- ally found a men’s support group that things started to change. “It was a long, long, long road, but I can now say that I am a happy and healthy man,” says Mr. Masciangelo, who is newly married and now works in the film and TV industry. He is also a vocal advocate for male survivors. A serious lack of services for male survivors is a chal- lenge. “There are virtually no services for men, there are a few groups in the Toron- to area, but overall it’s very limited,” ays Sergeant Shel- ley Tarnowski, provin- cial co-ordinator for abuse issues with the Ontario Pro- vincial Police. “When men call rape cri- sis centres and places like that for help, there is a lot of compassion shown to them, but not a lot of useful servic- es they can be referred to.” Locally the only service that specifically supports male survivors is Durham Family Services, which offers eight free one-on-one counselling sessions.

In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother’s Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom’s gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother’s Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won’t soon forget. • “Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.” - Lin Yutang, Chinese writer • “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States of America • “Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author • “A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.” - Irish proverb • “All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” - Oscar Wilde, Irish poet • “If I was damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine.” - Rudyard Kipling, in his poem “Mother O’ Mine” • “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” - Honore de Balzac, French playwright • “The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.” - Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France • “The God to whom little boys say their prayers has a face very like their mothers’.” - James Matthew Barrie, Scottish author Famous Quotes for Mother’s Day 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 • Ma y 9 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP Drop season opener in Halton Hills, but rebound on home floor with win BraD Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It didn’t take the Ajax Ironheads very long to come together as a team. The Jr. B lacrosse club played a full team game at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday afternoon which translated to their first win of the young season, a 12-9 triumph over the Oakville Buzz. Head coach Ron Reed was visibly pleased with his team’s effort following the game, praising them for their focus and effort. “It was 60 minutes, everyone came to play,” he said. “They are starting to work as a team even though we haven’t had a lot of practice together. Hopefully it only gets better from here.” The win ended opening weekend for the Ironheads on a positive note, after opening the regular season with an 11-4 loss in Hal- ton Hills on Friday. That game confirmed Reed’s suspicions that his club was going to struggle offensively this season after losing five of their top scorers off last year’s roster. But that wasn’t the case against Oakville, as a couple of snipers expected to carry the load did just that. George Jimas, the lead- ing scorer among returning players from last season, scored three times, while Adam Kelusky, acquired from the Clarington Green Gaels in a trade, also scored three times and added a helper. Reed said much of the success the duo enjoyed came from running pick and rolls, helping each other out. “They have to understand that if they are going to play offence there has to be move- ment and they have to do what their job is. Today they did it,” he added. Dylan Hutton added a pair of goals, while James Malloy, Chris Martin, Josh Kennedy and Jason Heickert added single tallies. At the other end of the floor, a stingy defence and solid goaltending provided by rookie Matthew Law held Oakville to under double digits. Law was credited with facing 37 shots in his junior debut. “He played phenomenal,” said Reed of Law’s first career start. “The composure he showed for a 17-year-old kid was just incred- ible and I’m pleased as heck with him.” The swing in the game came midway through the second period when the Iron- heads went on a run of five in a row, turning a 5-5 tie into a 10-5 advantage. They tight- ened up after, keeping Oakville at bay, never letting the visitors get to within two. Another encouraging sign was the team’s discipline on the day, taking just eight minor penalties. “You can’t afford, when you’re playing a good team like Oakville, to give up those opportunities,” said Reed. “When you get a lead on them, it can change the momentum. A couple of dumb penalties can change the momentum.” This weekend will be a busy one with three games in as many days, starting with a trip to Mimico on Friday, followed by home games to Nepean on Saturday at 8 p.m. and Glouc- ester on Sunday at 2 p.m. THe SCOOP Scoring in Friday’s loss to Halton Hills were James Malloy, Steve Douitsis, Adam Kelusky and Shane Takahashi. Goaltender Kadyn Pack faced 48 shots, while the Ironheads fired 37 ... The highlight goal on Sunday against Oakville came from Kelusky in the second period while laying flat on his stomach in front of the net, but still getting enough on his shot to beat Ian Duffy ... The Ironheads started the season late. Nepean, Guelph, Owen Sound and Brampton have played seven games, while Six Nations, Wal- laceburg and Hamilton have played six each.

The group of 23 players -- includ- ing Kyle Armstrong, a longtime member of the Ajax Wanderers program -- has already played once on the tour, drop- ping a close 19-17 decision to Chile’s senior men’s national team, the Con- dors, over the weekend in Santiago. The provincial champions Blues opened the scoring with a penalty goal kicked by Liam Underwood, to lead 3-0, a lead that was increased to 8-0 later in the first half when Mike Scholz’s line-break led to a try by Ryan Macsween. The strong-scrummaging Chileans clawed their way back into the game with a penalty goal and converted try. One more Ontario penalty goal meant the Blues led 11-10 at half time. Game two of the tour has the Blues facing Salta in Argentina, while the third game will see them take to the pitch against Uruguay on May 13. 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 • Ma y 9 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP FREE CHILDREN’S TICKETWith The Purchase Of Adult Ticket.

Leading Ajax’s group of seven athletes was 17-year-old Robert Gilchrist, who swam to four best times in five races in his first senior nationals and first Olympic Tri- als. Gilchrist swam to a blistering 52.22 in the 100m freestyle and is now first on the club’s all-time list for 15-17 year old boys, and closing in on the club record held by 2000 Olympic team member Garrett Pulle. Gilchrist was also the second fastest 17 year old in this event. In addition he broke his own club record in the 200m butter- fly, swimming to a time of 2:07.64. His best race came in the 100m butterfly, where he swam to a 13th place finish with a new best time of 56.31. Gilchrist was actually the 11th fastest Canadian in the event as there were two foreign swimmers in the B Final that placed ahead of him. Devin Ste. Marie, who travelled from Minnesota where she is on scholarship, cracked the Top 30 in two swims, placing 27th in the 100 fly and 24th in the 200 fly. Ste. Marie narrowly missed her club record in the 100m event, while also swimming to a new long course best time in the 200m freestyle. Darelle Cowley continued her record- breaking season, lowering her club record in the 400m freestyle to a time of 4:26.60. Cowley also swam to a new record in the 100m breastroke with her time of 1:12.97, placing 31st, while lowering her best time in the 200IM. Placing 26th in the 400IM was Christine Raininger, and Carleigh Barrett was one of Ontario’s top finishers in the 200m but- terfly, placing 23rd overall. Filling out the team were Nathan Lee and Julien Dodu, both competing at their first trials.
