PICKERING -- An abandoned house on airport lands was destroyed by fire in January. Late last year a dungeon was discovered in the house. (Inset) The heritage home prior

OSHAWA -- The man who built a confinement room in an aban-
doned farmhouse did so with the intention of kidnapping a
woman who had provided support to his ex-wife, a court has
heard.
Robert Edwin White insisted upon his arrest in early 2012 he
never intended to hurt or kill anyone, and that no one but himself
had ever been in the dungeon he constructed in the basement
of a Pickering farmhouse, according to facts read into the record
Wednesday.

PICKERING -- A proposal to build a 16-storey
rental apartment building on Whites Road met
with opposition by residents of a neighbouring
townhouse complex who fear negative impacts on
their community.
The proposal would see a 228-unit building con-
sisting of sections of three, six, nine, 14 and 16 sto-
reys, with underground parking for residents and
a small greenspace.
“We think this is a good thing for Pickering,
I think it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a
rental apartment building of this magnitude put
forward by a private developer,” said Glenn Genge,
a planner for D.G. Biddle and Associates Ltd., rep-
resenting the developer Cambridge Centre Village
Inc, during a planning and development meeting
on Sept. 4.
“My client has done their marketing research
and concluded there’s a good market and a need
for this type of rental accommodations,” Mr. Genge
continued. “These are good sized units, with one
in excess of 1,500 square feet. These are upscale
rentals for people who want upscale accommoda-
tions.”
Located on Whites Road just north of Kingston
Road, the building would include two driveways
onto Kingston Road allowing only right turns in or
out. A third driveway for resident access would be
located off Delta Boulevard.
Neighbours in an abutting townhouse complex
argue the unit would cause traffic chaos in the
area and decry the applicant’s request to lower
the standard parking ratio from 1.5 to 1.36 spaces
per unit.
“We have 22 guest spaces for 79 townhouse units,
that’s one space for every 3.6 units, they have one
space for every five units,” said resident John Har-
vey.
“We have a tremendous parking issue and I
think this will be colossally inadequate,” Mr. Har-
vey continued, noting other concerns includ-
Pickering apartment proposal angers neighbours
ing shadowing, negative impacts on the property values
of the nearby townhouses and the appropriateness of a
high-density apartment building on a block of low- and
medium-density housing.
“A huge building like this on a little site like that is aston-
ishingly inappropriate. I could go on for hours, there is so
much about this that annoys so many people.”
During a presentation on the proposal City staff iden-
tified several issues for further analysis, including the
compatibility of the building with the surrounding neigh-
bourhood, the appropriateness of the increase in density,
ensuring adequate parking and more.
A staff report will come back to councillors with a rec-
ommendation on whether to approve or deny the appli-
cation.

Area MP
congratulates club
on world record
achievement
PICKERING -- Members of the Pickering
Dragon Boat Club continued to celebrate
their world record paddle by receiving
congratulations at Queen’s Park.
Pickering-Scarborough East MP Tracy
MacCharles welcomed the club’s head
coach Scott Murray and members Suzanne
and Alexandra Hennig to Queen’s Park on
Aug. 30, where she delivered a member’s
statement in the house congratulating the
team on setting a Guinness World Record
for longest distance traveled in a dragon
boat in 24 hours.
“The Pickering Dragon Boat Club mem-
bers regularly compete at local, nation-
al and international competitions and
are very proud to represent the City of
Pickering, the province of Ontario and
our wonderful country through the spir-
it of sport,” Ms. MacCharles said. “It was
my pleasure to welcome them to Queen’s
Park to recognize all that they have accom-
plished.”
The club had previously held the record
from 2004 to 2008, but were bested first
by an Australian team and then a Brit-
ish team. The club took to the waters of
Frenchman’s Bay on Aug. 25 to regain the
title, with 26 members, ranging in age from
19 to 59, paddling 214.39 kilometres over
the next 24 hours, besting the previous
record of 175 kilometres held by the Brit-
ish.

Do you read footnotes?
You know, those numbered notes, in smaller fonts, that are either printed at the bot-
tom of a page or the back of a non-fiction book.
Footnotes are the author’s way of telling readers where they found the informa-
tion to back up a statement or where you can find more information on a topic
or providing readers with a little more background that really isn’t germane to
the main argument or book.
I read footnotes. They are almost like a book within a book. I especially
enjoy footnotes written in a light-hearted manner, such as can be found in
Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. But
they don’t suit every book.
I prefer footnotes located at the bottom of the
page. I enjoy the fact some of them are so long they
spill onto another page.
I will qualify my earlier statement and say I
don’t read every footnote. If it’s just the name
of a book, author, or page number, I’ll skip it. I
read the ones that provide more background on
a topic or show me where to find more infor-
mation.
I enjoy reading those notes, learning a bit
more about something. I’ve often gone on to
read books listed in footnotes.
In footnotes, I read ahead, making note of the ones that require reading so I can skip
the other just-the-facts ones.
So, do you read footnotes? Let me know by e-mailing me at cchase@durhamregion.
com.
In a previous column, I wrote about how I find new books. One main way is
through recommendations and I’ve got a couple from readers.
Jim Parrott suggested I read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. He fig-
ures I would appreciate the author’s explanation of things such as time, space
and string theory in layman’s terms.
Fingers crossed on that one.
And co-worker Eugene Dupuis recommended The Giver
by Lois Lowry, a children’s dystopian novel that sounds
intriguing.
And to Jeff Oliver, I finished Margaret Atwood’s The
Handmaid’s Tale with no problem. I loved it.
-- Christy Chase is a copy editor at Metroland Media Group
Durham Region Division. She’s currently reading ‘The End:
The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler’s Germany, 1944-45’
by Ian Kershaw, hence the interest in footnotes. You can
reach her at cchase@durhamregion.com or on Twitter @
commacontrol. Read her blog, Comma Control, at http://

A footnote to history and many other non-fiction topics
Ajax is prudently hedging its bets that 15
per cent of its future casino revenue will be
enough to ensure a gaming facility stays in
the town.
Since the OLG Slots at Ajax Downs
opened early in 2006, the facility has pro-
vided Ajax with roughly $35 million in
non-tax gaming revenue. But the OLG, as
part of its modernization of gaming, is set-
ting up private, not government-run, casi-
nos throughout Ontario, including one in
a zone which covers Ajax, Pickering and
Whitby.
If one of those two latter communities
were to be chosen for a casino, the Ajax
facility would close.
Ajax has told the Ontario government it
wants the casino located at the current slots
location. Pickering has signalled it doesn’t
want a casino, although it’s a decision that
could change. Whitby, on the other hand,
gave Ajax an ultimatum of sorts: share
your gaming proceeds with us or compete
with Whitby for a casino. Ajax has offered
15 per cent of its future casino revenue --
if Whitby declares it is an unwilling casi-
no host. Whitby considers the offer next
week.
“As mayor and council, every once in a
while you are confronted with truly difficult
decisions, and this has been one of them,”
said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “When I
compare the risk of the loss of the whole
facility and the jobs and the revenue and
everything that that entails, and making an
educated, secure arrangement, I think the
latter is the better.”
We agree. Risking millions of dollars in
revenue is not a crap shoot most Ajax resi-
dents would sanction.
This money has been well-used by the
Town to pay for infrastructure projects so
that it and, by extension, residents do not
incur debt.
Now, we recognize the other argument,
namely that this was a bad move by the
Town. Given the success of the existing
facility in Ajax, the Province would be nuts
to agree to a casino elsewhere in the zone.
Ajax’s offer to Whitby, then, is an unneces-
sary payoff.
And, again, while Pickering has said it
does not want to host a casino, this could
change and the City could approach Ajax
for revenue.
But we understand the position in which
the mayor and council found themselves.
A flat ‘no’ to Whitby could have resulted in
a ‘casino war’ and, if Ajax lost, millions of
dollars would have disappeared. It’s a risk
most Ajacians would agree is not worth
taking.

Mr. White, 44, pleaded guilty to a charge of
break and enter with intent to commit an
indictable offence. He remains in custody
pending a sentencing hearing.
Mr. White was arrested by Durham police
in February, months after the discovery of
the confinement room in a house slated
for demolition on the Pickering airport
lands. The room, discovered by a worker
in November 2011, was heavily reinforced
and insulated, with double-paned win-
dows and a three-inch door made of mul-
tiple planks of plywood, prosecutor Dave
Slessor told Ontario Court Justice Mary
Teresa Devlin.
There was a bench in the newly-painted
room and chains hung from the ceiling.
The door was bolted from the outside with
tire irons, court heard.
“It can’t be opened from the inside once
it’s bolted from the outside,” Mr. Slessor
said. “There would be no getting out.”
Fortunately for police, security workers
patrolling the area had written down the
licence plate number of Mr. White’s Mer-
cedes-Benz, which had been seen parked
near the farmhouse on a couple of occa-
sions. He was taken into custody Feb. 13,
2012, and confessed to having built the
room.
He also told cops his intention was
to confine someone in the room, but
wouldn’t say who that was. Further inves-
tigation revealed the target was a woman
who had assisted Mr. White’s ex-wife emo-
tionally and financially after her separa-
tion from him, Mr. Slessor said.
Mr. White was also charged with
attempted kidnapping, but that charge
was withdrawn when he pleaded guilty to
the break and enter charge.
Defence lawyer Paul Affleck said Mr.
White concurred with the facts read into
the record, but that he insisted he never
intended to demand a ransom for his
intended kidnapping target.
The Concession 7 farmhouse was
destroyed by a deliberately-set fire in Jan-
uary 2012. There’s no evidence linking
Mr. White to that occurrence, police have
said.

Decision set for
controversial bill
on Sept. 10
KRISTEN CALIS

DURHAM -- Although talks are set with
teacher unions at the Durham Dis-
trict School Board, Ontario MPPs will
vote Sept. 10 on a controversial bill that
would force new contracts on teachers.
The board has plans to meet this month
with both the Elementary Teachers’ Fed-
eration of Ontario and the Ontario Sec-
ondary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
to negotiate new contracts.
“On our end, we’re going to stay the
course. We said we’re committed to
engaging teachers to constructive talks,”
says Joe Allin, chairman of the board.
But the Province is looking to take care
of the matter quickly.
Although Ontario’s Catholic teachers
have signed new contracts with the Prov-
ince, the public school teachers have
been without one since Sept. 1, allow-
ing their old ones to roll over, meaning
automatic wage increases.
When the Province was unable to
successfully negotiate with the public
school unions, the McGuinty govern-
ment demanded that unions and each
school board come up with agreements
by the end of August. When that failed,
the Liberals announced Bill 115, that
will, if passed, impose a freeze on wages,
cut sick days and ban strikes and lock-
outs for two years.
The unions have indicated no plans to
strike.
The legislature was called back early
from summer recess to discuss the leg-
islation, but the minority Liberal gov-
ernment filed a motion to end debate on
the bill, send it to a legislative commit-
tee for public hearings on Sept. 5 and 6,
then hold a final vote on Monday, Sept.
10.
The Liberals need the support of either
opposition party for the bill to pass.
Progressive Conservative Leader Tim
Hudak said his party will support the
bill, even though it is “half a loaf” when
compared with legislation he proposes
for an across-the-board wage freeze for
public sector workers as the government
fights a $14.8-billion deficit.
Durham’s public school board recog-
nizes the frustration many of the teach-
ers are feeling.
“We continue to have a positive rela-
tionship with our local unions,” says Mr.
Allin. “They’ve been most cooperative
with preparing for these talks.”

Residents enjoy
daily glimpse of
rare specimen
KRISTEN CALIS

AJAX -- There’s one squirrel that’s dif-
ferent from all the rest living in Ajax.
“The kids are thrilled with it when
they get a chance to see it,” says Rober-
ta Dickinson, manager of a nearby
apartment building.
She and area residents started see-
ing the albino squirrel about six
months ago. If they want a peek of this
white squirrel with a bushy tail and
red eyes, they just have to go to his
tree at breakfast time.
“Everybody’s watching him between
8 and 8:30 in the morning when he
comes down,” says Roberta.
It’s a rarity to see one of these. There
are even groups committed to help
save this rare breed. The Albino Squir-
rel Preservation Society has chap-
ters set up across the world to protect
and foster compassion and goodwill
toward albino squirrels.
I found in a BBC article from
2009 that states, according to wild-
life experts, the odds against a pure
white squirrel being born are one in
100,000.
Roberta knew it was pretty rare too
and that’s why she wanted to share
with Durham residents the photo that
one of the residents took.
“Oh, it’s beautiful,” she says.
It’s not so rare to see a white squirrel
in Exeter, Ont. The town that hosts an
annual white squirrel festival claims
to be “Home of the white squirrel.” It
decorates lampposts, garbage cans
and retail stores with the image of a
white squirrel. However, since these
squirrels don’t have red eyes, they’re
not albinos.
Luckily, even though the Ajax albi-
no squirrel seems to be the only one
around, it’s not all alone.
“It has another black one and a grey
one,” Roberta says. “I guess they’re its
brothers and sisters.”
Another chance to help
Second Chance Sanctuary
This Saturday, Sept. 8, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary will host
a bake sale, barbecue and yard sale that will
include furniture, art, prints, glassware, crockery,
tools and more. All proceeds will go toward the
cats. It’ll be at 2060 Concession Rd. 7, Pickering.
Call 905-649-8282 for more information.
DURHAM -- Finally, finally. Like lots of other people, my husband
and I went camping Labour Day week, the “last blast” of summer.
Given all the projects and commitments that eat up the days,
it was our first time in a canoe all year, the first time sleep-
ing in a tent, the first time sitting on a rock watching the
sun set and the stars come out. And wow, was it ever
wonderful. Just what the doctor ordered.
I couldn’t get over how quiet it was, how at times we could
hear nothing at all. We headed up a small string of lakes in Vic-
toria County, far enough to get away from the sound of cars and
trucks, though a few float planes flew over. Sometimes gusts of
wind rustled the pines and riffled the water, but that high pres-
sure weather pattern ensured great stretches of glassy water and
deep silence, broken by the occasional chatter of a chipmunk or
scream of a blue jay.
At the transition zone from limestone to Canadian shield, red
oaks and red maples were the dominant deciduous trees. We saw
some fallen acorns along portages, enough of a crop to interest a few
families of jays. The absence of mosquitoes and black flies meant
there was nothing for small birds to eat, so warblers were long gone.
A female hairy woodpecker was tapping away at a dead white pine
above the perfect kitchen and swimming rock where we camped.
And where at dusk, when the dishes were washed and the packs
hung up, safe from raccoons and bears, we sat and listened to the
loons. Finally. I love hearing their wild, wailing calls, but sometimes
forget how truly moving they are.
And then, from the rocky hills across the lake, came another dear,
familiar song. I held my breath to listen, then whispered, “Dennis,
Whip-poor-will.” It was answered by a closer one, then one far down
the lake. As the full moon rose over the rock ridge behind us, and
daylight faded in the west, at least four whip-poor-wills carried on
their vocal duelling, still marking out their breeding territories at the
end of August, as they do every moonlit night in May and June.
We know, because we’ve heard them. Twenty-five years ago, col-
lecting data for the first Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, we paddled up
this same chain of lakes and were entranced to find whip-poor-wills
breeding on the flat rocky openings cleared by a burn in the 1940s.
We were in fact awakened in the night by one sitting right over our
tent, hollering away -- and are they ever loud, up close.
A lot of forest has grown up in a quarter of a century, but enough
open space still remains for whip-poor-wills. Perhaps they are
descendants of the ones we heard then, Dennis said.

SEPTEMBER 2012
A DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP
ADVERTISING FEATURE
CANADA’S ADULT LIFESTYLE PUBLICATION
I have been a caregiver for the last 16 years to my wife,
who is disabled, and know that this job has its own joys
and triumphs, defeats and sorrows. A caregiver is a person
behind the wheelchair of his or her loved one, or at their
bedside, who is not paid for the services. I have also been
an accredited, investigative journalist for about 30 years.
It has been a great journey, from India to Kenya, Africa
and Canada where I have lived since 1988. By now I have
learned to live by comic and medical energies, working
vigorously and by living with what I have, not what I want.
The goal is to stay calm and fulfi lled. I travel on media
assignments and lecture tours, and am just back from a
trip to San Francisco where I presented my perspective
and experience on why more caregivers are needed today,
and how I believe that our future goal as a society should
be to focus on accommodating the needs of this growing
legion of workers.
Caregivers help heal the sick, similar to doctors, who are
paid hugely to treat the health problems of their patients.
But caregivers remain unpaid for their duties.
There are over fi ve-million caregivers and disabled people
in Canada, and over 70-million in the USA, with many
young men and women becoming disabled from the wars
outside North America and coming home disabled. We
have an aging population, with some in the boomer gen-
eration now over 65 years, and so there is a greater need for
understanding, support and services then ever before.
Caregivers are people too, with dreams and aspirations
like others, but out of necessity they are largely imprisoned
within their caregiving situations. When tragedy strikes a
family by the way of a stroke, accident or other medical
condition, one is done! In crises like these, further devel-
opment, intense self-examination and open introspection
to cope with the situation are required.
Ontario has a very good, caring and compassionate pro-
gram called the Ontario Disability Support Program to as-
sist the disabled people in Ontario. It was started by the
Mike Harris government in 1997, and by 2012, it is con-
tinuing as a great source of support for disabled people
including my wife, a former teacher and singer. But more is
needed. I hereby call on Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty
to help launch the proposed Ontario Caregivers Support
Program, and bring it into law as soon as possible.
It is time to take the next step in building Canada’s health
care system. Just as universal health care was initiated by
a priest turned politician, Tommy Douglas (1904-1986),
from Saskatchewan, who provided a vision that was sup-
ported by other great Canadians like William Osler (1849-
1919) from Bond, Ont., whose hospitals are among the
landmarks for health and care services, it is time for a new
father or mother of caregiving to take the reins and step
forward.
So, let’s get together and let the ideas percolate. Caregiv-
ing is a new topic for many people, and I would like to
invite ideas from everybody, to help make lives easier for
our loved ones and for their caregivers. It’s the path of hope
to the world as it might be.

PICKERING -- Two graduates of the
Pickering Swim Club will continue
their pursuit in the pool at the next
level.
Alison Russell, who is off to McMas-
ter, and Thomas Davies, who will
attend Queen’s, continue the long line
of graduates from the program who
have advanced to university swim pro-
grams.
For Davies, an 18 year old from
Pickering, his inclusion on the swim
team at Queen’s has more to do with
academics than it does swimming.
“I’m not really going to school for
swimming, I got chosen based on aca-
demics, and I thought I might as well
swim as well,” says Davies, who will be
enrolled in the engineering program.
The Dunbarton graduate wasn’t just
a late-bloomer in the sport; he falls
into the category of late registrant.
Having played soccer and hockey as a
youth, he joined the high school swim
team in grades 9 and 10, registering for
the Pickering club in Grade 10.
“One of my friends on the (high
school) team who swims competi-
tively, she got me to join the team,” he
says.
In his three years with the Pickering
club, his specialty became the longer
distances in the freestyle, as well as the
100m and 200m butterfly. An e-mail to
the Queen’s swim coach asking if there
was an opening on the team led to his
inclusion.
Russell has been at it a lot longer than
Davies, jumping into the pool with
the Pickering club 11 years ago after
advancing through swimming lessons
with relative ease and at an alarming
rate.
By the age of 13 she qualified out of
a regional meet and into the next level
in the 800m, and has sustained that
momentum ever since. Up most morn-
ings by 4:30 a.m. to make the commute
from her Toronto home, her dedica-
tion is admirable.
“My family was so supportive through
the whole thing,” says the 18 year old.
“My mom would wake up in the morn-
ing, take me to practice, my grand-
pa and dad would switch in the after-
noon.
“It was so positive, nobody wanted
me to quit. Everyone was excited that
I was loving it. I still love it to this day
and I don’t know what I’d do without
it.”
A freestyler who prefers the 400m,
800m and 1500m distances, she added
some butterfly and backstroke sprints
to her list of events in the past year.
Selecting McMaster is going to give
her the experience of going away, but
still being close enough to home, she
says. When she’s not in the swimming
pool, she will be enrolled in the school
of business.

AJAX -- If contrasting nicknames make
a fight, Brandon Cook’s bout Saturday
night at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga
should be a dandy.
The Ajax resident, nicknamed ‘Bad Boy’,
is set to step into the ring against Ferenc
‘Good Boy’ Zold of Hungary in an eight-
round light middleweight bout that will
serve as the co-main event on the seven-
fight Full Throttle card.
It will be the seventh professional fight of
Cook’s career. He’s compiled a 6-0-0 record
with three knockouts to this point. The 26
year old was thrown a bit of a curveball
for this fight, originally scheduled to fight
Danny Netzer of Israel, but a recent hand
injury forced Netzer out.
“This is the fifth time we’ve changed an
opponent. It sucks. Every couple weeks it
changes,” says Cook of the revolving door
of opponents he’s had to prepare for as a
pro. “Either the guy gets hurt or something.
I don’t know. It’s been hectic, but I’m ready
to fight anybody so it doesn’t matter.”
In Zold, Cook will face a 27-year-old
opponent who is 15-11-0 with six knock-
outs, dropping four of his last five fights.
Some limited video exists online, but other
than that, Cook knows very little about his
opponent.
“Basically what’s going to happen is the
first round I’m going to feel him out and
then go to work,” says Cook, who trains
at the Whitby-based Motor City Boxing.
“Either way I’ve been training and this has
been one of my hardest training camps
again. I’m ready for anything.”
In his last bout back in May in Mississau-
ga, Cook made short work of Zoltan Sur-
man, dropping the Hungarian to the mat
three times in the second round, forcing
the referee to stop the fight. This time out,
Cook is hoping to get in a little more work,
having only fought 18 rounds all told in six
professional fights.
“For this one I’m hoping to get a few
more rounds in because the last one I only
got two rounds. I’m hoping he comes to
fight and I can show off some of my skills
and what we’ve been working on.”
Usually Cook fights at 154 pounds, but
because Zold took the fight on short notice,
the weight limit for Saturday’s bout has
been bumped up to 158 pounds. Follow-
ing the fight, Cook is planning two cele-
brations, one in the ring and another at St.
Louis Bar and Grill in Ajax, a sponsor who

DURHAM -- A host of local rugby
players won gold with a Toronto-
based team at the recent Ontario
Summer Games.
Shannon Snape (Oshawa),
Sophia Ferguson (Uxbridge),
Kelsey Owen (Port Perry), Shauna
Kuebeck (Greenbank), Haleigh
Quesnelle (Oshawa) and Saman-
tha Almeida Schroen (Ajax) all
played a part in the Toronto Out-
laws clinching the gold medal in
seven’s play.
Snape, Ferguson, Owen, Kue-
beck and Quesnelle are all mem-
bers of the Oshawa Vikings Rugby
Club and after putting their best
foot forward through the qualifi-
cation process, managed to earn
spots on the Outlaws roster for the
Games. Tryouts and the selection
process began early March of this
year.
Seven’s rugby is a variant disci-
pline of traditional rugby (15 per
side) that only has seven players
on the field for seven minutes
each half. It’s a game of immense
speed, skill and strength.
At the Games, held at Toronto’s
York University, two teams from
each region (Eastern, Toronto,
Southwest and Niagara) played
through a round robin pool with
the top two teams advancing to
play for medals.
The Outlaws ran through the
round robin with an undefeated
record and faced the Southwest
A team in the final, a game they
took by a 22-5 count to complete
their gold medal run.
The team was coached by
Brooke Hilditch and Natalie Ben-
david.
Adding to the thrill of com-
peting at the games, these girls,
along with the more than 3,000
other participants from across the
province, were marshalled into
the event by Diana Matheson,
a member of Canada’s bronze
medal-winning women’s soccer
team at the London Olympics.
Matheson scored the medal-
clinching goal in the dying min-
utes of the bronze medal game.
Joining the aforementioned
Durham players on the Out-
laws roster were Emily Belchos,
Makayla Albert, Hannah Darling,
Erin Burke, Alana Pescador and
Melissa Hurrell.
Oshawa’s Tanya Hollingshead
also competed at the Games in
seven’s rugby, suiting up for the
Toronto Renegades.

Tournament champions
ROCHESTER, NY -- The Ajax FC U15 boys’ White, led by coach Howard McCalla, won
the Greece Cobras FC Summer Classic Tournament in Rochester, NY. On the first day
of the tournament Ajax defeated Milton Youth Soccer 4–0 and Honeoye Falls Blaze
Gold 3–1. The team lost its third game to Highland YSC Sting 1-0, but met them again
in the finals, which ended 0-0 and sent the teams into penalty kicks. Ajax shooters
Alex Berment, Nashon Campbell, Marcus McCalla, Nicholas Romanick, and Mathew
Woolley scored on all five shots to win the tournament. Team members include, back
row, from left: coach Howard McCalla, Yannick Lee-Hon Siong, Jonah Kissoon, Raul
Toichoa-Fulford, Mackenzie McDonald-Bogan, Mathew Woolley, Danny Sekulovski,

Lewis, Juan Gomez, Moises Hernandez and lying in front Alex Berment. Absent was
Deondre Davis.
Ajax Swimming’s Robert
Gilchrist makes a splash
at junior Pan Pacifics
AJAX -- Robert Gilchrist hung tight in Hawaii
with the best junior aged swimmers in the
world, competing at the 2012 junior Pan
Pacific championships.
The 17 year old from Whitby put the fin-
ishing touches on his best-ever season with
strong performances across every event dur-
ing the four-day competition. As a member
of the Swimming Canada junior national
team, Gilchrist took on swimmers from the
United States, Japan, Australia and other
countries at this event.
He got his meet off to a good start on day
one, swimming to a 13th-place finish in
the men’s 200m freestyle. Gilchrist’s time
of 1:52.31 smashed the Ajax club record by
more than a full second and ranks him 19th
overall in Canada this season for any male of
any age.
Gilchrist has lowered his personal best in
the 200m free by seven seconds this season.
“All the hard work finally paid off,” said Gil-
christ of his rapid rise in the 200m freestyle.
“There were some ups and downs, but I exe-
cuted the race plan properly when it counted
and received an excellent result.”
On the second day of competition, Gil-
christ picked up where he left off, qualifying
for the A final in the 100m freestyle after post-
ing another personal best and club record in
the preliminaries. His time of 51.00 was well
under the club record set in 2000 by Ajax
Swimming Olympian Garrett Pulle.
This swim also ranked Gilchrist 14th over-
all in Canada for the season, just 1.1 seconds
off what was the qualifying time for the Cana-
dian men’s relay at the London Olympics.
In the finals session, after completing his
individual race, Gilchrist was called upon to
compete in Canada’s 4x200 freestyle relay.
Along with his three teammates, Gilchrist
found the podium in third, finishing behind
Japan and the United States.
Day three featured the 100m butter-
fly where Gilchrist qualified for the B final
before competing in another relay, the 4x100
freestyle relay, that evening. Despite a great
split time (50.83), the Canadians ended in
fourth.
The final day of competition saw Gilchrist
lower his 50m freestyle time by .3 to finish
15th with a 24.01. He then wrapped up his
meet by anchoring Canada’s 4x100 medley
relay with a split time of 50.75 en route to a
fourth place.
Team Canada finished the meet in fourth
position, beaten by the USA, Japan and Aus-
tralia.Celebrations planned
