DURHAM -- If Durham switches to an elected regional chair-
man it’s not just the method of landing the job that will change.
On May 8 regional council’s finance and administration
committee discussed a new staff report that lays out how an
elected chairman would differ from an appointed one.
For example, under the current model, Chairman Roger Ander-
son rarely votes at council -- if he does it’s typically to break a tie.
An elected chairman would vote on every matter before coun-
cil.
Accountability and transparency would also shift.
An appointed chairman is accountable only to council and
generally adopts council’s position on the issues, while an elect-
ed chairman would be accountable to the voters as well as coun-
cil and would be able to voice personal opinions on issues and
campaign on their own platform.

Pickering gym members shake it for hospital
Flash mob kicks
off fundraising
initiative to support
fight against
women’s cancers
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Members of
Womens Fitness took out their
dancing shoes in support of
Princess Margaret Hospital dur-
ing a recent flash mob.
As women worked the tread-
mill and lifted weights a crowd
took to the floor of the Pickering
Town Centre gym, joining in on
a choreographed routine set to
Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the Floor.’
The flash mob was planned as
a fun way to drum up excitement
for the upcoming Womens Fit-
ness Clubs of Canada Show We
Care Fashion Show and Gala,
which raises funds for women’s
cancer research and the Wig
Salon at Princess Margaret Hos-
pital.
“It started with us supporting
our members and really grew
from their experiences and their
journey through battling can-
cer,” said Teri Nitsopoulos, club
manager for the Pickering Wom-
ens Fitness, citing several mem-
bers who have battled breast
cancer.
“You find out so much about
your members who go through
so much pain, it’s life-changing,”
Ms. Nitsopoulos continued.
“We’re not just a gym, it’s a
support system too. We want to
support our members and we
feel that supporting women’s
cancer initiatives is a great way
to do that.”
The Show we Care Fashion
Show and Gala will be held on
Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m. at
Toronto’s Six Degrees. The event
features gym members model-
ing clothes from participating
retailers and live entertainment
including Zumba, dancing and
singing.
Gym member Meagan Papize-
wski, 22, got a taste of the spot-
light as one of the flash mob
leaders, but will get even more
time in the spotlight as a model
in the Show we Care fashion
show.
“It’s for a good cause and I
spend a lot of time at the gym
anyway so I thought I’d help
out,” she said.
“Princess Margaret is such a
great hospital and they do a lot
for cancer research. I’ve had
family members who have bat-
tled cancer so I think this is a
great thing to support. It’s good
energy and it’s fun and exciting
to get out there and do some-
thing.”
This is the second annual
Show We Care event, with last
year’s gala raising more than
$36,000.
For more information or to
donate visit http://pmhf3.akara-
isin.com/ShowWeCare2012.
Tickets to the gala are $50 each
and can be purchased online
or at any Womens Fitness Club
location.

PICKERING -- About 30 members of the Womens Fitness Clubs of Canada at the Pickering Town Centre

Pickering condominium proposal turned down
Residents opposed
project
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Residents oppos-
ing a planned condominium
development in Pickering got a
boost when councillors voted
against the project.
The plan from Emery Homes
would have seen a 62-unit town-
house development with 17 free-
hold townhouse units and a
45-unit condominium complex
along Glendale Drive south of
Glenanna Road. More than 10 resi-
dents spoke out against the proj-
ect, which was recommended for
approval in a staff report, during a
planning and development meet-
ing on May 7.
Residents’ concerns included
increased traffic along Glendale
and at the intersection of Liverpool
Road and Glenanna, and the fact
that the development would clash
with the rest of the neighbour-
hood.
“Glendale is a desirable neigh-
bourhood because it’s a commu-
nity feel and it’s mostly populated
by cozy one-storey bungalows on
large lots,” said resident Chris Gert-
zos.
“These are low-profile homes
with large greenspaces. We want to
improve the neighbourhood, not
jam pack it with homes that are too
towering.”
Scott Walker, representative
for Emery Homes, noted that the
developers made several conces-
sions as a result of working group
meetings with residents, includ-
ing reducing the number of condo-
minium units, reducing the height
of buildings facing Glendale from
three storeys to two and placing
the development’s exit on Glenan-
na rather than Glendale.
“In our view we made quite a
few changes to the plan to try to
address key comments heard
from residents who attended those
meetings,” he explained.
The planning committee sided
with residents, voting against the
proposal in a vote of six to one,
with Councillor Kevin Ashe sup-
porting it.
“The problem I have is if we don’t
support a staff recommended plan
backed up by professional reports
it will likely go to a different venue
for approval, and it won’t be the
seven of us deciding, it will be at
the (Ontario Municipal Board),”
Coun. Ashe explained, noting the
City would then lose any control
over the development.
The item will be before council
for a final vote May 22.
A message from
Durham Tourism
Kerri King
May is the perfect time to
hit Durham’s trails -- on
two feet or on two wheels --
as the warm weather brings
nature back to life. What a
great way to get active and
shed those winter pounds,
while taking in the sights
of Lake Ontario’s gorgeous
waterfront.
Recently, I commit-
ted to participating in the
60-kilometre ‘Ride with the
Mayor(s)’ cycle event on
the waterfront -- and I’ve
convinced my husband
and a colleague to join me.
We hauled our bikes out
of the garage, scheduled a
tune-up and started train-
ing.
‘Ride with the Mayor(s)’
is a great way to enjoy a
great day of biking along
the waterfront and cele-
brate cycling in Durham.
The ride will be held on
May 27 beginning at Lakev-
iew Park in Oshawa at 10
a.m. All proceeds will sup-
port United Way Durham
Region, representing more
than 50 charities and 300
programs across Durham
Region.
Register online for $10
and enter for a chance to
win one of two brand new
bicycles. Enjoy a great ride,
good fun and get active to
support the United Way.
For more information on
the ride, visit www.bike-
durham.ca. I’ve commit-
ted to riding the event, and
I challenge you to do the
same.
In addition to the water-
front trail, Durham Region
boasts more than 350 kilo-
metres of recreational
trails and is home to the
Trails Capital of Canada
in Uxbridge. Many busi-
nesses in Durham Region
are also certified by Wel-
come Cyclists, meaning
they offer features such as
bike racks, washrooms and
fresh water to those who
stop by on two wheels. You
can view the complete list
of certified businesses at
www.welcomecyclists.ca.

Plans underway to
improve safety on Bayly
To the editor:
Re: ‘Political priority should be safety on
roads’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.
com, April 28, 2012.
What the letter writer witnessed is a com-
plete tragedy. As an active cyclist, I person-
ally take road safety very seriously. That’s
why I am very proud to be a resident of
Ajax and a member of the Town of Ajax’s
Active Transportation and Trail Adviso-
ry Committee (ATTAC). The Town and
ATTAC have been working hard to build a
safe transportation network that meets the
needs of our diverse users, whether young
or old, motorist or cyclist, pedestrian or
bus rider.
I too believe that enhancing Bayly-Victo-
ria Street should be a top priority. In fact,
I spoke in support of this project at the
Region of Durham. The Town and ATTAC
have been working with the Region to
expedite this project. The Region is cur-
rently finalizing design work for the widen-
ing of Bayly Street from Shoal Point Road
to Halls Road, and construction is expect-
ed to begin soon. The enhanced road will
include four lanes as well as a 3.6 kilome-
tres of off-road multi-use trail on the south
side of the road.
Lighting will be included as part of the
project. The Town will fund lighting from
Shoal Point Road to Lakeridge Road, and
the Town of Whitby will be responsible for
the section east of Lakeridge Road.
The Town is also preparing to launch a
public awareness campaign that focuses
on the interface between motorists, pedes-
trians and cyclists. The goal of this initia-
tive is to improve public transportation by
ultimately preventing collisions and inju-
ries amongst all road and trail users within
our town. Thank you to the letter writer for
advocating for safer roads.

Romantic notion outdated
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham incinerator goes against
principles of nature’, letter to the editor, dur-
hamregion.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 garbage in
a hole to fester and pollute for 100 years or
more. 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 U.S. interviewing the prin-
cipal of the Rough Rock Demonstration
School and another academic contact at
Albuquerque University, and having pur-
sued 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 consider
that hunting and fishing today means high-
powered rifles with telescopic sights, snow-
mobiles 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.

To the editor:
Re: ‘Please show courtesy in parking lots’,
letter to the editor, durhamregion.com,
March 5, 2012.
Just a note regarding the letter writer’s
concern over people parking too close to
her vehicle. There was a time when parents
had to actually walk from whatever spot
they were able to get.
There were no special spots so that you
did not have to be out in inclement weath-
er. Fact is, we stayed home instead of drag-
ging our young children around a store
because we were bored. I’m willing to bet
that the letter writer, before having a child,
could have cared less if she parked too
close to another vehicle thus making it dif-
ficult for other drivers. If this is the biggest
challenge she faces, she should consider
herself fortunate.

Editorial Opinions
Durham must focus on next direct-election steps, not staff costs
There is still a long way to go -- a journey
of a thousand steps -- before the direct
election of the Durham Region chairman
becomes a reality.
So why does a staff report veer into what
can only be described as whimsy with a
suggestion that an elected chairman will
require additional staff such as drivers and
media relations staffers or speech writers?
Those considerations are so far down the
road that they should be cast aside, and
quickly, before it gains unnecessary trac-
tion in the march to direct election.
The Region of Durham passed a bylaw
changing the method of selecting the
Regional chairman in a 24-2 vote just
last month. The bylaw still requires a tri-
ple majority: five of Durham Region’s
eight municipalities must pass a resolu-
tion supporting the change, and the total
number of electors in those municipali-
ties that pass such a resolution must also
form a majority of all the electors in the
region. To date, only the Town of Ajax and
Municipality of Clarington have passed
those resolutions.
These are the issues that every munici-
pality must focus on in the near term,
while also continuing to engage local vot-
ers to keep them informed of the process,
what the status is in a particular munici-
pality and when votes might be held to
allow public participation and discus-
sion.
As well, voters must be made aware of
the costs associated with direct election.
A majority of residents will surely con-
tinue to support direct election, as they
have in past referendums, but must still
be made aware of all the elements of such
a massive political structural change.
For instance, an elected chairman will
be accountable not to fellow councillors,
but voters. He or she will vote on every
issue at Durham council, not just to break
a tie as has been the tradition. An elect-
ed chairman will require an expenditure
of some $50,000 in costs related to elec-
tion advertising, election night resources
and a compliance audit committee. Fur-
thermore, a candidate campaigning for
the position will be allowed to raise and
spend $365,000, a substantial sum.
These are the things voters need to know
if they are to remain informed and if duly
elected lower-tier municipal councillors
are to vote on the necessary resolutions
required, not that an elected chairman
will require someone to write speeches.
There is a cost associated with this dem-
ocratic change, to be sure, but let’s leave
the background issues where they belong,
at least until the most critical steps are
completed.
Durham -- There’s
an adventure coming
through Clarington on the
Oak Ridges Trail June 16.
People will be running
and biking on the trail
through Clarington and
Uxbridge for the Moraine
For Life Adventure Relay.
The relay starts at Gore’s
landing in Bewdley in
canoes and continues
through Durham Region
with running and moun-
tain biking.
The relay wraps up in
King City, 160 kilometres
away.
Six of the 14 transi-
tion points along the trail
where team members
change are in Durham
Region.
Relay teams can have
up to 15 people on them
and must organize not
only the transportation
of each member to and
from the transition points,
but coordinate all of their
equipment as well.
Team entry fees are
$550 for recreational and
$2,000 for corporate. All
of the proceeds from
the event are for the Oak
Ridges Trail Association,
which is an organization
that works to protect the
heritage and ecosystem of
the trail as well as expand
it.

Future of
Ontario quarter
horse racing
industry unclear
Tara HaTHerly
thatherly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The training
season has begun at Ajax
Downs, amid an uncertain
future for Ontario’s quar-
ter horse racing industry.
In March, the Ontario
Lottery and Gaming Cor-
poration announced the
end of its revenue-sharing
Slots at Racetracks pro-
gram, among several pro-
posals meant to shake up
Ontario’s gambling indus-
try and increase the Prov-
ince’s gaming revenue.
Almost immediately fol-
lowing the announcement,
the Province pulled its slot
machines from three of
Ontario’s racetracks, with
more likely to come.
Trainers at Ajax Downs
said being at the track feels
different this year.
“The atmosphere is
almost flat,” said Bob
Broadstock, president of
Quarter Racing Owners
of Ontario. “People are
almost down in the dumps.
Usually they’re excited to
come out and get ready for
the racing season.
“They’re scared wheth-
er there’s going to be any-
where to race next year,”
he said. “They’re still
keyed up to race, they’re
just worried about their
future.”
Chantelle Bourgeois and
Dean Link train and breed
quarter horses at Ms. Bour-
geois’s Clarington farm
and are busy preparing for
the race season, not know-
ing if it will be their last.
“There’s no other way to
say it than it’s devastating,”
Ms. Bourgeois said. “This
race season is guaranteed,
that’s it ... Everybody’s in
the same boat, nobody
knows what’s going on. It’s
really hard to describe. You
know that quite potentially
this is the last year.”
She noted the Province
continuously encouraged
owners and trainers to
invest and grow the indus-
try, saying advertisements
encouraging members to
do so appeared even as
the Province announced
it was ending the Slots at
Racetracks program.
“Quarter horses did not
have the population when
the slots came in to sup-
port the race days,” she
explained.
“The Ontario govern-
ment was constantly at
you to get involved and get
invested. What they didn’t
say is they were just going
to pull the plug.”
In an earlier interview,
Ajax MPP Joe Dickson said
he will do what he can to
help the industry voice its
concerns.
“The combined horse
owners associations ...
when they are ready to go
back to the Province with
a revised master plan, I
will certainly be knocking
on the (premier’s) door to
make sure that they have
an appointment so we
can present their case,” he
said, adding it’s essential
to keep Ajax Downs oper-
ating. “(Ajax Downs) has
been a win, win, win situa-
tion, and we don’t want to
lose that.”
Ms. Bourgeois says she
has already lost tens of
thousands of dollars as
the result of the indus-
try’s uncertainty, after she
ordered an expensive stal-
lion she expected to stud
this season.
“People who were lined
up backed out,” she said,
adding the government is
losing tax on breeding fees
as well. “If we had known
about this in September
or November, that horse
would not be here.”
The Province has set a
one-year timeline for end-
ing the program.
“If they’re so determined
to shut the program down,
they should have looked at
how long it takes to wind it
down. You can’t just wind
it down in a year,” Mr. Link
said.
He can’t understand why
there hasn’t been more
fuss about the potential
loss of so many jobs.
“We’re looking at 60,000
private sector jobs that will
either be completely gone
or affected,” he said.
“The province is going to
lose. Not just the people in
it, but the province is going
to lose. I certainly don’t
think we’re in the position
to be shutting down any
successful businesses in
the province.”
He worried about the
economic future of the
region.
“If Ajax Downs shuts
down, most of these peo-
ple will be selling their
farms. Almost all of the
trainers, and a lot of the
owners, have farms in
Durham Region and the
surrounding area and so
much invested,” he said.
“The government is so
shortsighted, it’s frustrat-
ing beyond words.”
He added the horses will
suffer as well.
“To find homes for more
than 32,000 registered race
horses will be difficult,
likely impossible,” he said.
The race season officially
begins at Ajax Downs Sun-
day, May 13.

“A directly elected regional chair
may change the dynamic between
the chair and council,” reads an
excerpt from the new report. “A
chair that is elected region-wide has
only one vote at council but may be
perceived to have much more influ-
ence than a councillor, especially if
elected with a sizeable majority.”
Another area that could change is
staff for the chairman’s office.
The Region currently has two
staff supporting the chairman, an
executive assistant and a policy
and research advisor.
They are permanent staff who
also provide some support for
council and the CAO’s office.
The report says an elected chair-
man may choose to attend more
public events, which could require
an additional contract employee
for duties such as transportation,
media relations and speech writ-
ing.
“We have to be careful of how
much staff we provide to assist an
elected regional chair in getting
re-elected,” said Oshawa Council-
lor Bob Chapman. “Some engage-
ments and events they have to go
to...others they might choose to go
to get their name out there.”
Pauline Reid, director of cor-
porate policy and strategic initia-
tives at the Region, stressed the
additional staffing reference in the
report is simply an example of what
could happen -- not what will hap-
pen.
“This is very tentative, we’re just
letting council know the potential
is there,” she said.
“This was included to give a
broad picture of the things council
will need to think about.”
Ms. Reid noted neither Waterloo
nor Halton saw any additional staff
hired after making the switch to an
elected chairman.
One thing that definitely would
get pricier with an elected chair-
man is the election process itself.
Currently the Region doesn’t
shoulder any of the costs related to
municipal elections -- it’s all cov-
ered by the lower-tier municipali-
ties.
If the chairman becomes an
elected position in 2014, Regional
Clerk Pat Madill said it would cre-
ate $40,000 to $50,000 in costs relat-
ed to advertising, election night
resources and a compliance audit
committee.
“Nobody wants to spend addi-
tional money but that’s the cost of
democracy,” said Pickering Coun-
cillor Jennifer O’Connell.
“We shouldn’t see this as a bad
thing, should see it as a progres-
sion.”
However, Coun. O’Connell does
want to see the Province lower the
spending cap for potential regional
chairman candidates.
Based on the 2010 formula in the
Municipal Elections Act, candi-
dates running to be head of council
are allowed to spend $7,500 plus 85
cents for every elector.
In Durham that works out to a
cap of $365,087.
On April 4 regional council voted
24-2 to pass a bylaw that changes
the method of selecting the chair-
man, from appointment by council
to direct election by the public.
The bylaw needs a “triple major-
ity” to pass.
In addition to support from
regional council, five out of eight
lower-tier municipal councils must
pass a resolution in support and the
total number of electors in the low-
er-tier municipalities that pass a
resolution must also form a major-
ity of all the electors in the region.
So far, Ajax council and Claring-
ton council have passed resolu-
tions in support.

Page 6 - Today’s editorial
Elected versus appointed chairman: what’s the difference?
FAST FACTS
The differences at a
glance
• Appointed chairman is accountable only
to council, elected chairman is account-
able to the voters and council.
• Appointed chairman adopts the posi-
tion of council on issues, elected chair-
man forms own opinions and runs on
own platform.
• Appointed chairman rarely votes at
council, elected chairman votes on all
matters.
• Appointed chairman creates no elec-
tion costs for Region, elected chairman
will create $40,000 to $50,000 in costs.
• Appointed chairman interacts with the
public through annual visits to council;
board of trade; chambers of commerce;
some community events, elected chair-
man may have increased appearances
on top of those.
• Appointed chairman’s comments to
public and media are fact-based and
reflect position of council, elected chair-
man’s comments will reflect own posi-
tion.
We have to be careful of how much
staff we provide to assist
an elected regional chair
in getting re-elected. --

Spring is finally here! The grass is starting
to get long, buds are beginning to appear on the
trees and flowers are getting ready to bloom. It’s
come a little early this year, but that just means
that you will have more time to enjoy your yard!
Spring is also a great time of year to
call Zylstra for an overall property assessment.
Jamie and his team will look over your lawn,
gardens and plants and determine the best way
to maintain them or will offer suggestions on
what can be done to improve your yard.
Gardens can be refreshed
with soil amendments and mulch,
new annuals and perennials
can be planted, and trees and
shrubs can be planted or pruned.
New gardens can be created,
walkways and patios can be built
and new sod can be laid.
At Zylstra Landscape
Services, they believe that your
property is an extension of your
home. It should be a beautiful,
useable space that reflects your
style of living. Whether your
project is a deck, interlock patio
or walkway, or a complete
landscape makeover, they can
help you with innovative ideas
to provide you with years of
enjoyments. They provide
their clients
with quality workmanship and
a commitment to customer care
from design concept to final
construction.
The process starts with
a free consultation to ensure
that the services they provide
coincide with the needs and
expectations of the client.
The next step is a site
analysis to assess the
conditions of the property,
including elevations,
drainage, lot lines, existing
structures, existing plant
material, etc. Then a
landscape plan is created
based on the clients’
needs, wishes, property
conditions and budget.
Between work, family commitments and
summer road trips, it can be hard to keep up your
yard while also having time to enjoy it. Instead
of spending the small amount of free time you
have mowing the lawn and picking weeds out
of the garden, have Zylstra Landscape take care
of it for you! With their weekly maintenance
packages, you can rest assured that your lawn
and garden are looking great without having to
lift a finger.
In the winter, you can also leave your
shovel in the garage, as Zylstra Landscape
Services offers snow removal services for both
residential and commercial properties.

Find your garden personality
(NC)—No matter what your personality, there are many simple ways to infuse your garden
with unique style.
Minimalist Approach—Go for clean lines and carefully composed arrangements of rocks,
moss, pruned trees and bushes. Tall grasses and gravel, or sand pathways will also add to
the Zen feel, along with a meditative water feature like the Angelo Décor Pietra Falls slate
fountain with pump. To finish the look, add solar LED rock lights that add function while
blending into the foliage.
Colour, Colour, Colour—Set the mood and showcase your personality with plants in your
favourite hues. Use two or three adjacent colours to create a harmonious effect (red and
orange) or create contrast with unexpected combinations of three, like purple, green and
orange. Ensure careful planning when using the colour wheel and check with your garden
centre specialists to confirm you’re choosing the right blooms.
eco-friendly—Native garden plants have adapted to their environment and offer greater
resistance to diseases and pests than imported options—this means less care and water
required. If indigenous gardening is on your radar there are many Canadian plants to con-
sider that are beautiful and require less maintenance. These include Bergamot, Columbine,
Purple Coneflower, Blue Iris, and Crocus. Find out which plants are suited to your zone, and
let nature work for you.

Happy Mother’s Day
Every mom has a favourite quote and a special
tone to scold or teach a lesson to their kids.
We might hate this as a kid but we all miss
them when we grow up. These harsh sounding
and yet so sweet advices from mothers is what
makes our childhood so special. These motherly
sayings go a long way in making us strong and
better people. Though we sometimes hate our
moms for being so harsh, ironically we use the
same momism’s on our kids. Oh God, how
much we appreciate our mothers for coming up
with such perfect one-liners.
Here is list of the most popular momism’s
- transcending the borders of time, space,
language and culture.
• Money does not grow on trees.
• Don’t make that face or it’ll freeze in that
position.
• If I talked to my mother like you talk to me....
• Always change your underwear; you never
know when you’ll have an accident.
• Be careful or you’ll put your eye out.

All in the family for Abrams Brothers
enter our contest
to win tickets, cDs
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- When John Abrams
says he and brother James are
touring veterans, one can’t help
but smile.
The heart of The Abrams Broth-
ers band, along with cousin Elijah,
they are young men who would
likely get asked to show their ID
cards at The Beer Store (John and
Elijah are 21, James is 19).
But John Abrams isn’t exagger-
ating as they’ve been on the road
playing music for more than a
decade, ever since they were chil-
dren.
The Abrams Brothers play The
Regent Theatre May 24, a fund-
raising show for the School Alli-
ance of Student Songwriters’ pro-
gram in Durham. And it’s a cause
they wholeheartedly believe in.
“We really think that music edu-
cation is a huge opportunity for
kids,” he says. “We know from per-
sonal experience how much it did
for us.
“Any program that allows kids
to get together and play music is
phenomenal.”
Abrams says the band is “carry-
ing on a legacy” in music that runs
all the way back to their great-
grandparents. It all started when
their mom one day asked, ‘do you
want to try playing the violin?’
“I thought it was neat, just
because our family was doing
it,” he says, noting the band was
called The Abrams Family. “We
used to watch on the sidelines,
but once we started playing violin
it gave us a chance to jump in and
join the fold.”
Did they ever. The band has
released four albums, most
recently Northern Redemption.
The band has played near and
far and has received accolades
for excellent musicianship. After
Blue on Brown in 2009, which fea-
tures songs by artists they admire,
Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie, the
latter commented that they were
“way too young to be playing that
good.”
They were the youngest Canadi-
ans to ever appear on the Grand
Ole Opry stage in Nashville in
2005. The Abrams Brothers have
made several appearances at the
Jacob’s Ladder Folk Festival in
Israel and, in 2006, received the
Daniel Pearl Memorial violin, an
honour reserved for gifted young
musicians.
Northern Redemption was hailed
by critics, who noted the album
represents a shift from the music
of their roots, bluegrass, country,
folk and gospel, to a sound dis-
tinctly their own. It’s both a con-
scious choice and the natural evo-
lution of the band. Abrams notes
bluegrass already encompasses
several musical styles.
“We love so many styles of music
that it’s hard to stay in one,” he
says.
“We just want to continue to
explore musically; I think as art-
ists that’s what we’re trying to do.”

concert are available at tickets.

Charlene
Ouellette
wants it all
Now why would a young, talent-
ed artist with numerous works of
art created, many of them sold,
various exhibition involvements
behind her and intentions on
making a high-profile career in
Toronto, Montreal, New York and
beyond decide to have a baby and
bring everything to a standstill?
Because Charlene Ouellette wants
it all, thank you very much.
The Pickering artist at the
moment is a sleep-deprived,
stay-at-home mother of a three-
month-old baby boy. But she talks
about hiring a sitter and getting
into the studio as often as possible
to continue creating the abstract
canvases that currently occupy
her creative vision. And finish-
ing up her studies at the Toron-
to Schools of Art -- and, possibly
moving on to the OCADU. The
former fashion model yearns to
get behind the camera at fashion
shoots and to teach art to chroni-
cally ill children and the elderly. A
long and tall list, but she feels she
is up to all tasks.
Ouellette was born in Toron-
to and studied at Wexford Colle-
giate, where she was considered
the school’s most talented artist.
She then moved on to a profes-
sional career, showing at the Kohl
Gallery and organizing shows
with a group she helped estab-
lish in Toronto. One of her main
inspirations has been her grand-
maman, professional artist Dan-
ielle Langlois, of Arthur, Ontario.
Robert baltovich’s
story told
for young readers;
acquitted after
serving prison time
for Elizabeth bain’s
murder
mikE Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The fate of Elizabeth
Bain, a Scarborough woman who
disappeared in 1990, remains a
mystery.
But what happened to Robert
Baltovich is well known.
He was arrested, put on trial,
convicted of murdering his girl-
friend and spent eight years in
jail for a crime he did not com-
mit.
Jeff Mitchell, crime reporter
for Metroland Media Group’s
Durham Region Division, has
written Young , Innocent and in
Prison: The Story of Robert Bal-
tovich. It’s part of the Real Justice
series of books for young read-
ers, the stories all about young
Canadians who were wrongfully
convicted of murder and proved
their innocence.
Mitchell says he was surprised
at how easy it was to reach Bal-
tovich, who returned his call
within a few hours and was “very
receptive from the get-go.”
Even more surprising was that
Baltovich today isn’t a bitter per-
son which, given what he went
through, would be understand-
able.
“It became apparent that while
Robert Baltovich feels there
should be accountability for
what occurred, I just don’t detect
any lingering bitterness or sim-
mering anger,” Mitchell says.
It’s his first book and Mitchell
says it’s important to him to put
in front of young readers subject
matter that will really engage
them. He says the idea appealed
to Baltovich as well, who is inter-
ested in literature and history
and worked as a librarian.
Mitchell says the evidence
that eventually led to Baltovich’s
conviction and prison term was
“wholly circumstantial”.
First, when a person in a rela-
tionship disappears, the signifi-
cant other is always the first sus-
pect, and Mitchell says Baltovich
feels it was natural for police to
consider him from the outset.
As well, Baltovich spoke a lot to
the police which, Mitchell says,
rather than clearing him, served
to make him seem guilty. Most
of all, there were Bain’s diary
entries, which revealed both the
highs and the lows in their rela-
tionship.
After Paul Bernardo was arrest-
ed in 1993, identified as the
so-called Scarborough Rapist
and convicted of murder, many
pinned Bain’s disappearance
and probable murder on him.
But Mitchell notes there’s no
hard evidence to suggest Ber-
nardo abducted and killed Bain,
whose body has never been
found.
“Bernardo was asked point
blank and he denied it, but that’s
pretty much the response you
would expect,” Mitchell says.
“It’s logical speculation. He was
active at that time. He was in
Scarborough at that time. He
was attacking women with great
frequency at that time.”
Mitchell, who lives in Beth-
any with his family, notes that
another book in the series, about
Steven Truscott, was written by
fellow Durham Region writer Bill
Swan of Courtice.
Mitchell says he enjoyed the
experience of writing the book
since, as a reporter, he’s always
liked writing longer feature sto-
ries.
“You get to really tell the story
in its entirety,” he says.
The books, published by James
Lorimer and Company, are
available through www.lorimer.
ca and at www.amazon.com.

Back by popular demand, Jim Witter, the man behind the “Piano
Men” tour returns to bring you on another music journey, this time
through the 60s featuring the music of Simon & Garfunkel. Their
songs and Jim’s performance perfectly capture the innocence,
hope and introspection that contrasted the monumental changes
that our society experienced during the 1960s.
Presented by
In 2002, Ouellette moved to Pickering and
she has involved herself here as a mem-
ber of the PineRidge and Durham West art
groups and showed paintings at the local
Artfest last summer, where she managed to
sell seven of her pieces.
She started out as a realist painter but has
moved to the abstract, in oils and acrylics --
often with semi-realistic imagery integrated
into her surface designs. Most of Ouellette’s
ideas come from her imagination.
Ouellette currently has work on display at
Cafe Creme Brulee at the bottom of Liver-
pool Road.

Swimming
Toswell thinks Tigers are great
Freestyle swimmer
to join Dalhousie
team in nova Scotia
BraD Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- It’s a little deceiv-
ing to say that Meghan Toswell
decided to stay home to pursue
swimming and academics at the
university level.
Home, in this instance, trans-
lates into staying in Canada as
opposed to heading to an NCAA
school in the United States. But,
she still won’t be close to her
Pickering residence. She has
opted to head east, to the coast
in fact, to swim for the Dalhousie
Tigers in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
“There was something about
swimming in Canada and I just
decided Dalhousie had the best
program for me,” says the Grade
12 student at Trafalgar Castle
in Whitby. “I wanted a balance
between academic and swim-
ming. I wanted somewhere that
was friendly where I thought that
I could fit in, and the people out
east are so friendly. That really
drew me out there.”
A swimmer since the age of 7 at
the Pickering Swim Club, she was
one of the first athletes that for-
mer Olympian Anne Ottenbrite
guided when she joined the local
club as a coach. Toswell’s initial
foray into the pool came at the
suggestion of a uncle, who was a
swimmer.
“He saw me and said how much
I loved the water and thought I
should try competitive swimming,
so I did,” she recalls. “There’s just
something about getting in the
water, and it just being you, the
clock and the water. It just takes
over.”
She rose through the competi-
tive ranks over the years, and
when it came time to decide on
a destination after high school,
she was courted by a number of
schools in both the United States
and Canada. South of the bor-
der, Rutgers, Pennsylvania and
George Washington were in pur-
suit, while Western, Queen’s and
Prince Edward Island came call-
ing as well. A trip to Dalhousie
back in October seemed to make
the difference.
Her skill set in the pool, a free-
styler who prefers the sprints
of 50m, 100m and 200m, but
this season has branched out to
include the 400m and 800m, will
be a welcome addition to the Dal-
housie program. The Tigers are
in need of a freestyle swimmer,
and want to strengthen their relay
teams as well, she says.
The fit athletically was good for
both.
Academically, she will be
enrolled in Bachelor of Science
Health Promotions, which is a
small program that accepts 30-40
students. The small class size was
something that appealed to her.
As for packing up and leaving
home in the fall, Toswell has no
reservations.
“I’m so excited. I really wanted
a change and I wanted to start
somewhere fresh and new,” she
says. “I wanted to be on my own
and get the experience of being
on my own to see what it’s like.”

Ajax’s Carruther’s Creek has its Girls on the Go
Program
emphasizes healthy
living, goal setting
and self-esteem
tyler richarDS
trichards@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Running is one of the
most ancient sports one can take
part in. It pits humans against
nature in a battle to get from
point A to point B as quickly as
possible.
Amanda Westerman and Sandy
Taylor, teachers at Carruther’s
Creek Public School in Ajax, start-
ed Girls On The Go, a running
club that focuses on healthy liv-
ing, self-confidence and aware-
ness through non-competitive
weekly running programs and
lessons.
“We’re both runners, we like to
run and we wanted something to
inspire the girls so they could feel
better about their accomplish-
ments,” Taylor says.
“We had both heard of a pro-
gram called ‘Girls on the run’
which is an outside organization
that comes into the schools twice
a week. We were inspired by their
program and decided to create a
program tailored to our school
community needs,” Westerman
says.
Westerman and Taylor put on
weekly lessons that range in top-
ics from setting goals to healthy
eating and self-esteem. The
group has 65 girls that run as well
as approximately 15 teachers and
parents in the area. Each week is a
different routine, increasing their
amount of time running from one

ally 10 minutes in the final week.
This is all in preparation for their

Top Lakeside
in three sets in
gold medal game
WATERLOO -- The hard work
and determination of the Durham
Attack 17U girls’ team culminated
in a gold medal win at provincials
at Rim Park in Waterloo.
The success of this team was
evident from the start when they
brought home their first medal on
Nov. 26. After eight tournaments
in both the 17U and 18U divisions,
Durham Attack had acquired two
gold, three silver and two bronze
medals. Attack were determined
to bring home another.
The three-day tournament start-
ed early Friday morning against
Durham Attack’s 16U team. Not
prepared for this younger team’s
great defense, the 17U Attack
team fell a few points short, los-
ing 22-25. The 17U team came
back to win the next two sets,
however, 25-13 and 15-3. Durham
Attack won the next two matches
in pool play against Eclipse West
(25-21 and 25-16) and DRVC (25-
10, 24-26, and 15-7), placing them
first in their pool.
Day two brought Attack up
against some tougher teams forc-
ing them into tie-breaking match-
es, but Attack won all matches
with scores as follows: Preds Pur-
ple 22-25, 25-6, 15-13; Lakeside
25-17, 24-26, 15-9; and Forest
City 25-18, 17-25, 15-4. Another
great day for Attack and again first
place in their pool.
The success of the first two
days earned Attack a spot in the
quarter-finals. They had no prob-
lem against Ottawa’s Black Jacks,
winning both sets 25-13 and
25-10. Semifinals brought Dur-
ham Attack up against Forest
City once again, Attack’s biggest
rivals. Two strong sets with scores
of 25-10 and 25-19 paved the way
for Attack into the gold medal
match.
Lakeside also made it through
their semis as well, so Attack once
again had to battle it out with
them for the gold medal. After the
best volleyball Attack had played
during the weekend, they beat
Lakeside after three sets 26-28,
25-21, and 15-11.
Team members include Anna
Aguayo, Jaime Fryer, Ash-
ley Hart, Julie Longman, Oliv-
ia Michaud, Nicole Mironov,
Rachel Poole, Layton Risto, Cal-
lan Rolfe-Hughes, Kristine Yan
and Michelle Yu. The coaches are
Kevin Hellyer and Mike Slean,
whose dedication and commit-
ment to this team helped earned
Attack this provincial title.
16U team wins
back-to-back titles
DURHAM -- Provincials week-
end started out strong for the
Eclipse 16U volleyball team,
finishing the opening two days
with 150 points for and the least
number against in their pool.
Sunday was the final day of
competition with the added
stress of being a win-or-go-
home situation. The first match
of the day was against Leaside
Lightning, which the girls won
25-13, 25-11.
The girls marked their quar-
ter-final match against Forest
City who offered little resistance
which led to two more wins,
25-16, 25-12.
Eclipse East faced the second-
ranked team in the tournament,
Scarborough Synergy Titans, in
the semifinal. Knowing there
were only two teams stand-
ing in the way of a repeat pro-
vincial championship title, the
girls headed onto the court with
Durham Attack 17U on top at provincials
VoLLeybaLL
Team Eclipse East brings home gold from provincials
determination. The Eclipse suf-
fered their only loss of the tour-
nament in the first game 18-25.
Proficient setting and penetrat-
ing hits resulted in a 25-23 victo-
ry to even the match, then in the
tie breaker, the Eclipse validated
their first-place ranking by over-
powering STVC with a 15-8 win.
With the final and decid-
ing match against Durham
Attack, the only thing remain-
ing between Eclipse East and
their second provincial cham-
pionship was two wins. That
came over Durham Attack as the
Eclipse East sewed up the match
25-15, 25-11, capturing the pro-
vincial gold medal and title of
Division 1, Tier 1.
Team members include Brina
Alsmeyer, Courtney Chiasson,
Karlina Domingo, Abigail Gan-
zhorn, Kristen Hylton, Sheridan
Mason, Nareesa Nathoo, Chanel
Raymundo, Cassis Varlow and
Willa Zhu. Head coach is Arif
Nathoo.

FIGURE SKATING
Pickering’s Joknic is a golden girl on skates
PICKERING -- Alex Joknic of the Pickering
Skating Club has attained gold levels in
the Skate Canada STARskate test stream.
Joknic began skating at the age of five.
She quickly bloomed into a beautiful
young lady with grace and skill. Off the
ice she enjoys spending her time playing
rugby and doing yoga.
She says her greatest accomplishment
was when she landed her axel for the first
time. She found the axel jump to be the
most challenging for her to grasp, but she
says all the bruises and beatings she took
finally paid off in the end.
Joknic has put countless hours into her
skating and is proud to have attained gold
levels in dance and skills. She shared that
her hardest achievement so far has been
achieving her gold skills. She says she
didn’t find them particularity hard to do,
but just couldn’t seem to get them right
on test day. In order for her to achieve
gold in skills it forced her to refocus and
recommit herself and practice that much
harder. It meant focusing even more on
each turn and each edge.
She says that skating has taught her
many life lessons, like believing in her-
self no matter what, and never giving up
no matter how hard something may be or
how far away a goal may seem.
Joknic has now set her sights on achiev-
ing her diamond dances, a task that many
skaters don’t even try to accomplish. She
is also focusing on testing her gold inter-
pretive in the spring.
She credits her success to two things: a
lot of practice; and an amazing coach to
help her through. Together with Cheryl
Hockley, they made the perfect pair.
Next up is university, and Joknic says
she would like to look into joining the
synchronized skating team. This has
been her first love in the sport and credits
her success on skating synchro for many
years as well. She says synchro forced her
to push herself and improve on her own
skating skills. She loves being part of a
team and is looking forward to the years
to come.
