When I was young I didn’t have anything I wanted to be when I grew up because in my mind I was going to die young; I was going to take my own life.” Pickering resident Alicia Raimundo named one of five Faces of Mental Illness > See PICKERING page 9 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 2 AP *We reserve the right to limit quantities. 375 Kingston Rd., Pickering (Rougemount Square) • 905-509-3223 Store hours: Mon-Thurs 9am-6:30pm • Fri 9am-7pm • Sat 8am-6pm • Sun 9am-5pm Register for our on line promotions at www.brunos.ca - Prices in effect to closing Sunday, October 7th, 2012 Follow us on: lb.

While the old style mercury thermometers are safe to use to check your temperature for fevers, the liquid mercury that spills from broken thermometers is a risk to human health and the environment. Mercury thermometers should be placed in a plastic bag with a zipper seal and then into a separate rigid container with a lid for free disposal at any Regional waste management facility. The Region of Durham provides residents with this free, safe and simple collection and disposal option year round at all Waste Management Facilities. Residents are advised not to dispose of mercury thermometers in the garbage. If a thermometer does break, do not try to vacuum it up. Visit Environment Canada’s website (www.ec.gc.ca/mercury) for safe clean-up and disposal procedures and tips. My neighbour has leftgarbage at the curb inbetween collection days,is this allowed? Durham’s Wa ste Management By-law stipulates that no waste should be placed at the curb prior to 7 p.m. on the day before your regularly scheduled collection day, and no later than 7 a.m. on your collection day. Uncollected waste and empty receptacles are to be removed from the curb by 8 p.m. on your collection day, as these items can contribute to litter and general unsightliness of the neighbourhood.

An Ajax woman is accused of partner- ing with another person to pull off dis- traction-style thefts that netted large quantities of perfume and other items, Durham police said. A sec- ond suspect remains at large. Cops closed in on one suspect Friday when employees at a Kings- ton Road pharmacy reported the theft of perfume. Officers arrested a suspect and seized her car; a second sus- pect managed to flee the scene before police arrived. In the car, police found clothing and per- fume still bearing price tags, and tools police said were used to defeat magnetic retail secu- rity systems. A search warrant at a residence on Howling Crescent in Ajax resulted in the seizure of more stolen goods, police said. Cops said the suspects have been linked to the theft of more than $2,000 worth of perfume from the same pharmacy on Sept. 16. Lorrell Cameron, 41, of Howl- ing Crescent in Ajax, is charged with theft and possession of property obtained by crime. A search for a second person continues, police said.

But remaining veterans are concerned the story of the important role they played in winning the war will be forgotten once they are gone. This fear was expressed at a recent meeting of the League of Merchant Mariners Veterans of Canada at Scarbor- ough’s Highland Creek Legion. Napoleon reportedly said, “An army marches on its stomach,” which emphasiz- es that troops need to be well-fed and oth- erwise well supplied if they are to be ready for battle. Supplying an army of 200,000 soldiers, for example, is a monumental task. The army needs water, food, ammuni- tion, fuel, spare parts and much more and ensuring these supplies reached the troops was a major part of Second World War planning. Our merchant mariners were responsible for taking cargo, everything from food and fuel to planes and tanks, across the Atlan- tic to the UK and overseas troops. And it was no easy trip: the threat from German U-boats was constant, making the journey a very tense one, fraught with danger from below. Pickering’s Allen MacIsaac, director of the League of Merchant Mariners Veterans of Canada, spoke at the Scarborough meet- ing. He worked on a cable ship repairing transatlantic cables, a troop ship ferrying soldiers overseas and a parts ship during his four years in the service. “Being on the cable ship was quite an experience because you figure the enemy would like to sink it because we were keep- ing communications open,” Mr. MacIsaac recalled, noting he was lucky to escape the war unharmed, having witnessed several ships in convoys he was travelling in sunk by enemy fire. “We weren’t treated as veterans for 50 years, and soon we won’t have any veter- ans left to tell our stories. We’re concerned when we go, the history of the Merchant Navy will go into the archives. We want to tell the story of how essential we were dur- ing the war.” It was an oversight not to consider these mariners veterans. And while that’s been corrected, every Canadian must ensure that these brave men and what they did for the Allied war effort will never be forgotten. Could one of the most prominent columnists at one of Canada’s most prominent newspapers be hobbled by a blogger and a Twitter horde? It’s looking increasingly likely as the scandal around Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente continues to gain steam. Critics of Ms. Wente see her as serial plagiarist while her defend- ers would suggest she simply got sloppy in attributing portions of her columns. While this will surely present an interesting case for aspiring journalists in ethics classes, what’s interesting to me is how this story broke and what it says about journalistic accountability in the age of social media. Basically, it started with a blogger -- Ottawa professor Carol Wain- io -- submitting complaints regarding paragraphs in Ms. Wente’s column that were reportedly written by someone else and not properly attributed by Ms. Wente. Ms. Wainio published them on her blog where she posted side-by-side quotes of the original material and quotes from Ms. Wente’s column. The issue received some play on Twitter last week with other journalists weighing in, but the real firestorm seems to have started last Friday when the Globe and Mail’s new public editor published a column about the complaints. Many tweeters thought the public editor went too easy on Ms. Wente and didn’t like that Ms. Wainio was somewhat dismissed as an “anonymous blogger”. The furor grew, and quickly, about the integrity of not only Ms. Wente’s columns, but even the Globe and Mail as a newspaper was called into question. The interesting part of the whole thing is Canadian mainstream newspapers generally avoided the issue save for a piece in Macleans magazine. The UK’s Guardian also covered it early this week. But it was a hot topic on Twitter with many journalists and mem- bers of the public weighing in and the sentiment among the major- ity seemed to be that there was a serious problem with some of Ms. Wente’s columns. They also took issue with what they saw as an attack on Ms. Wainio. On Monday evening the Globe’s editor-in-chief released a state- ment saying one of the columns in question “did not meet the stan- dards of The Globe and Mail in terms of sourcing, use of quotation marks and reasonable credit for the work of others” and that Ms. Wente would be disciplined. That’s when the story hit the mainstream media. Now, here’s the thing about public editors: only very large papers can afford to have them. The Toronto Star has one, this community newspaper certainly doesn’t. But the story of Ms. Wente shows a paper no longer needs a pub- lic editor to hold journalists accountable. With Twitter as their plat- form, members of the public can do it themselves. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every second Thursday in this space.

AvailableNovember 6 Thank youandI’m sorry SuppoR TING A CT Ms. Raimundo has since traveled a long, hard journey to a place where “each day is better than the last.” Along the way, she’s sought strength and comfort from helping others by speaking out about suicide prevention, and was recently named one of five Faces of Men- tal Illness by the Canadian Alliance on Men- tal Illness and Mental Health. “One idea that resonates with people is the idea of superheroes,” Ms. Raimundo explains. “People suffering from mental illness are fighting for themselves and they’re fight- ing behind masks because mental illness is really not understood, you hide it. There are also people who can be unintentional super- heroes to someone fighting a mental illness by being there at the right time or saying the right thing.” Ms. Raimundo had a powerful experience being an unintentional superhero when she was approached by a young man after a sui- cide prevention speech. She listened to him as she got off a GO train and was taken aback by his heartfelt “thank you” as she got into her car. “I asked him what he was thanking me for and he said ‘if it wasn’t for meeting you today I was going to jump in front of the train’,” she recalls. “That’s the power a conversation can have, just being there at the right time you can real- ly be somebody’s superhero. Making a small difference in someone’s life can have an extraordinary power.” Ms. Raimundo encourages people fighting mental illness to focus on small goals and cel- ebrate those achievements. “A superhero never beats the bad guy the first time they fight them, they just send him away for a day or two days, but you still cel- ebrate that small victory,” she explains, not- ing her first goal was to see her sister graduate from high school. “If you have small goals you want to live to see those goals happen.” This is the tenth anniversary of the Faces of Mental Illness campaign, which is designed to get people talking about mental illness and the importance of mental health for Canadians.

With funding from the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Region runs 10 “partner assault pro- gram” groups per week, with about 15 people per group. Over the course of a year 600 people run through the 16-week program. “There is significant demand for this service...not just in Durham, but everywhere,” says Heather Mar- tin, director of family services for the Region. This week the ministry announced it will provide Durham with an extra $72,521 to fund the program for the 2012/2013 year, enough to cover the cost of five groups. That brings the total funding for the year up to $507,650. Unfortunately, Ms. Martin said, that won’t trans- late into additional groups; Durham already offers more than it is contracted to, in order to keep up with steady demand. The extra funding is simply playing catch-up. “We offer more groups than we’re required to so we won’t have a waiting list like other areas of the province do,” she explains. “It’s important that peo- ple not have to wait...the longer they wait it dimin- ishes the returns.” There is one group for women, but the program is predominantly for men. The intent is to prevent participants from re- offending by covering topics such as anger manage- ment, male socialization, effects of abuse on chil- dren and cycles of abuse. In Durham the recidivism rate is low. Durham’s domestic violence groups gain extra provincial funding Participants are referred to the program through the Crown attorney’s office as part of a sentence or from probation and parole services.

Durham households can expect to receive a bag with bright orange markings on it in late October. Used or unwanted single-use batteries should be stored in the bag until the week of Nov. 12, then put out on top of the blue box on collection day. Battery collection will not occur weekly. The pro- gram is being offered twice a year to coincide with daylight savings time. Local households will receive another battery bag prior to the spring collection in March. Only undamaged, single-use, dry cell batteries will be collected. Leaking batteries or wet cell batteries -- such as auto- motive -- can be placed in a leak-proof container and taken to one of the Region’s waste management facili- ties. Residents who live in apartments or condos and do not have curbside collection can visit www.makethe- drop.ca to find a battery recycling drop-off location.

Ontario Power Generation is plan- ning to fix up four nuclear reactors at its Clarington location to extend their operational life to 2055. A federal environmental assess- ment is currently underway with hearings slated for Nov. 13 and 14 in Courtice. Local activist groups have recent- ly raised red flags, saying more scru- tiny is needed to protect Durham residents in the event of a large- scale nuclear emergency. On Sept. 14, Theresa McClen- aghan, executive director at the Canadian Environmental Law Association, brought a list of con- cerns to a meeting of the Durham Nuclear Health Committee. CELA was engaged at the request of citizens’ group Durham Nuclear Awareness. “The main issue is that the planning is done for a relatively small accident, for example an acci- dent that won’t escape the plant or go far beyond boundaries of plant,” Ms. McClenaghan says. “For a Fukushima type accident there is no planning at all, the assumption is that it is unlikely.” CELA is recommending detailed emergency plans for accidents involving large radiation releases as well as evacuation plans for the 20- to 30-kilometre areas around Darlington. “It’s really hard to talk about these things but we have to be prepared,” Ms. McClenaghan says. OPG spokesman Neal Kelly said in an earlier interview that the EA pro- cess focuses on “credible” disasters, meaning “what we would expect, what we’ve been told to expect.” He says the March 2011 Fukush- ima nuclear disaster in Japan was caused by a tsunami and major earthquake -- both highly unlike- ly to happen in Durham Region. “That’s just not expected here,” he said, noting that OPG facilities are nonetheless built to withstand earthquakes. CELA says a nuclear emergen- cy could have serious econom- ic impacts too. Ms. McClenaghan noted in her presentation that a nuclear accident at the Pickering site requiring a one-year evacua- tion from the 20-kilometre zone would prevent $56 billion worth of economic production. A similar accident at Darlington would prevent $10 billion of pro- duction. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will hold public hear- ings Nov. 13 and 14 at Hope Fellow- ship Church, 1685 Bloor St. in Cour- tice. Members of the public who want to participate have until Oct. 15 to file a request online at www. nuclearsafety.gc.ca, by e-mail at interventions@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca or by mail to Louise Levert, Secretar- iat, Canadian Nuclear Safety Com- mission, 280 Slater St., P.O. Box 1046 Ottawa, K1P 5S9. Activists call for better nuclear emergency planning in Durham Some of CELA’s recommendations • Develop detailed emergency plans for accidents involving large radiation releases. • Develop detailed evacuation plans for the 20- to 30-kilometre areas around Darlington until 2055, as well as more detailed plans for 50 to 80 kilometres. This should also be done for Pickering. • Re-evaluate the suitability of the Dar- lington site in light of a growing popu- lation and the regular occurrence of nuclear accidents internationally. • Give municipalities within 100 kilo- metres of Darlington the capacity to independently monitor radiation levels in the event of an accident. • Review land use planning to avoid continued population growth in the vicinity of the plant. Hundreds of full-time jobs anticipated from GO service expansion Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- The construction of a new GO Transit east rail main- tenance facility is expected to improve access to train service and increase ridership across the GTA while also stimulating the local economy. Federal Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty and Ontario Minister of Infrastruc- ture and Minister of Transporta- tion Bob Chiarelli were in Whitby Thursday to announce their sup- port for a public-private partner- ship to fund the project. “With our booming population growth, increasing demand for commuter services, this new facil- ity is a big win for GTA commut- ers,” said Mr. Flaherty, from the site of the future building on Victoria Street East. The federal government will con- tribute up to $94.8 million through the P3 Canada Fund toward con- struction and implementation costs. The provincial government will contribute 75 per cent of the final project cost. “By delivering this project as a P3, we can realize greater savings and efficiency in the delivery of this much-needed facility while reinforcing our government’s com- mitment to jobs, growth and long- term prosperity,” Mr. Flaherty said. A private partner will be chosen through a competitive selection process to design, build, finance and maintain the building, which will include 18 storage tracks, an electrical substation for power sup- ply to facility and trains, progressive maintenance bays for train inspec- tion and maintenance, coach, die- sel, paint and wheel shops, loco- motive and train wash buildings, a fuelling station and staff offices. “At close to 600,000 square feet, the new facility will allow us to store more trains and be able to do maintenance faster,” said Mr. Chiarelli. “For the people of Durham Region, that means faster, better, more reliable train service.” It will also mean an addition of 300 to 400 full-time jobs once con- struction is complete. “This facility will improve and expand access to rail services, make it easier and faster to get peo- ple and goods where they need to go, and support sustainable urban development that leads to stronger communities and a higher quality of life,” said Mr. Flaherty. New rail maintenance facility to boost Durham economy > > Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Surveillance camer- as are coming to Durham Region Transit buses. This fall the local service will test out a four-camera system on one of its buses, with plans to add the technology to 26 new rapid transit buses set to hit the streets in July, 2013. The cost of cameras on the rapid transit vehicles will be cov- ered by the Province as part of the Metrolinx initiative. If DRT wants to go further and add cameras to the other 175 buses in its fleet, the money will have to come out of local coffers -- at a cost of about $5,000 per bus. Martin Ward, deputy general manager of operations for DRT, says cameras enhance safety for passengers and drivers. “The TTC, York and Brampton have found crime is much reduced on transit vehicles when they have this approach,” he says. “It can also significantly reduce bully- ing on the bus among students.” Mr. Ward says footage from the cameras can also be used by police to reconstruct traffic accidents, or provide evidence in the event of passenger/driver conflict. Like other GTA transit services that use surveillance technology, DRT does not plan to regularly review the camera footage or store it. The cameras will be self-eras- ing after 72 hours and footage will only be viewed if it is requested as evidence. Mr. Ward says privacy laws require special decals to be placed on the outside of buses equipped with the surveillance equipment.

On Sept. 18, council approved a grant of $1,000 for the Claremont Masons Lodge to help cover costs for their Okto- berfest in Claremont event, which will be held at the Claremont Community Centre on Friday, Oct. 12. “The Claremont community does rally around its residents quite frequently and in this case the Masons and others are taking up the cause of assisting this family,” said Councillor David Pickles. “Because of their son’s health issues, there are a number of things that have to be retrofitted in the home, at a great cost. Estimates are about $75,000 to make this home accessible for him.” Coun. Pickles put forward the motion requesting a $1,000 grant to cover the cost of hall rental and other expenses, which will be paid out of the City’s unal- located grants budget. “In organizing these events there are always a number of costs that will cut into the amount that can go to the fam- ily, and that’s exactly why we have this grants program, to assist residents who are trying to do something good for their community,” Coun. Pickles explained. “It seems like a small amount to offset costs and ensure the maximum amount can go to the family.” Council supported the grant unani- mously, with Coun. Bill McLean even offering a little personal challenge to others on council. “I would challenge members of coun- cil to dip into their own pockets for this worthwhile cause,” he said. “It’s fine to put taxpayer dollars on the line but I think sometimes we should put our money where our mouth is.” Oktoberfest in Claremont will feature live music and Oktoberfest food, as well as a cash bar. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the Country Depot or by calling 905- 649-8828. For more information, e-mail clare- montoktoberfest@gmail.com.

If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activities, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of 6 million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety disorders engage in damaging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding circumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued distress,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. David Direnfeld, Director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “When you stop going to parties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrinking around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-confidence and self-worth is often accompanied by depression—a pervasive sense of hopelessness, sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our expert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medica-tion. One form of “talk therapy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression in the short term, and in many cases, more effective at preventing relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain-imaging scans show that CBT produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identical to the effects of medication. “The major difference,” explains Dr. Direnfeld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side-effects is nil.” These facts, along with thousands of clini-cal studies supporting its effectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non-medical treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, for-ward-looking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple premise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life experiences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may find ourselves with irrational, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experiences that happened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to prepare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by challenging the irrational beliefs that sabo-tage you, and replacing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxi-ety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efficacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-altering changes in a relatively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more informa-tion about CBT or to book a consulta-tion at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (offices in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

With her husband passed away, and friends unavailable, she was determined to come alone. She told me she didn’t feel secure going out for walks by herself, but thought it would be safe at the festival, with lots of people around. I assured her it would. During the festival I happened to chat with a woman who told me she loves to go out for walks by herself, but always wears one of those call buttons she could press to notify some- one in case she falls or has some health crisis. I found myself thinking of both of them as I set out for a walk through Thickson’s Woods the following afternoon. My hus- band was busy, so I went alone, glad to get out for some fresh air between rain showers, and curious to check out what was hap- pening after the low front moved through, bringing cooler condi- tions and, hopefully, migrating hawks. After all the excited voices ringing through the air at the festival, the area seemed especially peaceful and quiet. I didn’t run into a single soul, but had the whole nature reserve to myself, with the freedom to wander. What struck me everywhere I went were the colours. Instead of the deep green of summer, the meadow was alight with great patch- es of yellow goldenrod, chest-high and waving in the breeze. I feast- ed my eyes on purple asters among the gold, and the plums, bur- gundies and reds of already-changing nannyberry leaves. In the woods I found seven kinds of mushrooms, three yellow and one the rich orange of ripe mangoes. I didn’t see much migration, neither raptors, monarchs nor drag- onflies, though the day before big flocks of blue jays had been flying west. Given the showers, I didn’t see a single butterfly, just gnats, midges and leaf hoppers, insects too small to get excited about without my hand lens along. Though some looked just like golden- rod seed fluff blowing in the wind -- evolved camouflage, perhaps? Robins and other thrushes were feeding on blue-black buckthorn and bright red hawthorn berries along the creek valley, and I heard catbirds and white-throated sparrows. I walked back through the festival site, where bright coloured messages fluttering on the Wish- ing Tree were the only sign that hundreds of kids and adults had been there the day before. I stopped to read a few, as touched by the hopes expressed for protection of habitat, clean water, world peace and family harmony as those for health, happiness and new pets. I silently added my own wish, that all women could get out alone in nature, and feel as safe, serene and nourished there as I do.

Infection resultsfrom contact with water containing contaminated urine from wild or domestic animals. Infected dogs can also infect people, posing a serious health risk for both you& your pet. Annual Lepto vaccines are designed to pro- tect your dog from this infection, and are recommended for dogs of all ages. Rain & humidity in the latesummer & fall lead to an increased risk of infection. It is now more importantthan ever to protect your dog duringthe fall season.

I, along with the rest of animal lovers across Durham, was horrified to learn about Heidi the miniature schnauzer being hanged in her family’s back- yard last week in Orono. Although this is something that could happen accidentally, all signs and conversa- tions I’ve had indicate the death of the Heurkens’ family pet was intentional. I’ve noticed people debating wheth- er it was done deliberately or not. I’m pretty sure believing it was an accident is wishful thinking. But I don’t blame those who do. Who wants to believe that someone could creep into a per- son’s backyard in a small community and suck the life out of an innocent creature? I certainly don’t, but there comes a time when we just have to face it. I used to be the person who would quickly turn past these types of sto- ries in the paper and pretend I didn’t see them. But now, aside from being forced to face these terrible incidents being in the news business, I’ve decid- ed it’s better to face it. If we don’t, it will just keep happening. Although Heidi’s killer won’t get the punishment they deserve because Canada’s animal cruelty laws are embarrassingly weak, they deserve whatever the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals can stick them with. And the Heurkens family deserves some closure. If you have any information whatso- ever about who killed Heidi, call the humane society at 905-665-7430. This is yet another reason to write to our members of Parliament to see who will take on this issue in Ottawa. Hei- di’s killer deserves to be punished with more than just a slap on the wrist. Also, this is one reason we should keep cats indoors. If someone can sneak into someone’s backyard and kill their dog, I can’t bear to think of what could happen to cats that wander the streets alone.

They include the soreness he feels following a three-round unanimous decision victory over Lance Benoist at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, along with the gratefulness he feels for being back home, surrounded by his friends and family. And there’s more. Pierson says he couldn’t help but be inspired by the boisterous sup- port he received Saturday night en route to the octagon, during his fight and in the moments after his hand was raised as the victor. “It’s pretty inspirational,” Pier- son said earlier this week in an interview. “It’s weird because I’ve fought in Toronto before and maybe I didn’t take it in enough, but it felt different. Right when my entrance song hit, for me I just heard the crowd roar, which was deafening for me. It was a really strong ovation and I was ecstat- ic for it. (I got) a lot of support in Toronto, and it’s not that I didn’t get it before, but I really noticed it this time.” And the support was more than warranted for the Pickering native. He came out and impressed on Saturday, his fifth fight with the UFC and second in Toronto, earn- ing two take-downs of Benoist in the first round and connecting on several solid strikes. More of the same continued in the second round with Pierson again taking advantage of his sub- lime striking ability, cutting up his opponent and keeping Benoist, the 24-year-old from St. Louis, Missouri, on his heels. Early in the third, a similar story played out. Benoist was pushing to get himself back in the fight, but Pierson caught him again with another massive strike early and continued to counter-punch any- thing Benoist could manage on offence. Pierson was looking good for the win, but adversity struck as Benoist finally got through, stag- gering Pierson with a strike and taking the fight to the mat. From there Pierson was on the receiving end of a series of lefts and rights, but managed to keep his body moving and avoid having the fight stopped. Dazed and acting mostly on instinct, Pierson battled through, regained his feet and managed to tie up Benoist through to the final bell, resulting in the fight going to judge’s scorecards. At that point, despite the late surge by Benoist, Pierson felt he had done enough to earn the vic- tory. “I felt I had won the fight, but at the same time you never know. I had felt that round one and two were mine. I even felt that round three up until the end was mine, obviously it wasn’t at the end of the day, but in my mind I had won 13 minutes of this fight, so I thought I had won the fight,” he said. “I think I even put my hand up right after I heard the bell. I think I put my hand up. As badly beaten up as I was my hand went in the air.” He was right as all three judges scored the fight 29-28 in favour of Pierson. The win upped Pierson’s UFC record to 3-2, but for the 36-year- old veteran, it signified much more than a tick in the win-loss column. “It was sort of a monkey off my back,” he said. “I am at the end of my career and I am trying to cement myself as being one of the pioneers for Canadian mixed mar- tial arts and for me, this is some- thing that I really wanted. I wanted that big win in Toronto, you know, my backyard.” Pierson added that the win was as much for him as it was the sup- porters he has had in his corner since the start of his mixed martial arts expedition. “The amount of fan support I’ve gotten has been absolutely incredible. That’s what has made this whole journey and this whole thing I’ve chosen with me fighting the right decision,” he said. “The support people have given me has just been amazing.” ‘‘I am at the end of my career and I am trying to cement myself as being one of the pioneers for Canadian mixed martial arts and for me, this is something that I really wanted.’ Sean Pierson >Pierson revels in UFC 152 win PHOTO BY ED MULHOLLAND TORONTO -- Pickering native Sean Pierson, right, won his fight with Lance Benoist at UFC 152 Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Let’s Talk After Sean Pierson (@seanpierson) defeated Lance Benoist (@LanceBenoistMMA) at UFC 152 Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toron- to, it didn’t take long for fans and others to take to Twitter and share their thoughts. And all the shout-outs and kind words of support resulted in some reaction from Pierson through his Twitter handle. Following the fight he posted, with a picture of him alongside his wife: “I am blessed I have a great life, thank you everyone for the support. #UFC152 @UFC_CA @ufc”. He took to twitter again the next day, giving a shout-out to all his supporters. “Tx 2 everyone 4 the messages, no regrets, not perfect but will always give 100% to rep my family, friends and fans! @ufc @UFC_CA #UFC152”.

Sliding into retirement as one of Canada’s most accomplished women’s bobsleigh pilots, Cal- gary’s Helen Upperton teamed up with the explosive Brown, of Pickering, and electrified the nation in 2010 when they were part of Canada’s one-two Olym- pic finish on home ice in Whis- tler, B.C. “Retiring as an athlete is bit- tersweet because it’s the last line in one of the most signifi- cant chapters in one’s life. Yet, I look back over my Canadian bobsleigh career with nothing but utter gratitude,” said Brown, who joined the program in 2006 and teamed up with Upperton for the 2009-10 Olympic year. “I’m so thankful to have been surrounded by my wonder- ful family, surrogate families, teammates and friends who have made my journey so much sweeter. This period of time has changed my life in so many ways and I am a better person for the struggles, the defeats, the joys and the triumphs. It’s incredible to think that I came from barely knowing anything about winter sports, to standing on the podi- um at the Vancouver Games, and becoming part of Canada’s history. “It was an honour to stand beside Helen -- who is nothing short of a trailblazer in Cana- dian sport -- to singing O Can- ada with the rest of the nation. I leave the sport of bobsleigh with so many cherished mem- ories and life lessons that I will take into the next chapters of my life. While I will miss the sport -- not the cold, though -- and the people, I’m eager to explore new and exciting adventures in my life.” After more than one decade of blood, sweat and tears, the two university track standouts are departing the sport with the Canadian squad amongst the best in the world. “I have had the privilege of competing with amazing team- mates, most importantly Shel- ley-Ann and Jenny Ciochetti, who have pushed me to be a better person and athlete both on and off the ice. But now it is time to move on to new chal- lenges and opportunities,” said Upperton. “When I started, the men’s program was so successful with Pierre Lueders setting a high standard of excellence. I was determined to get our women’s program on that same podi- um,” Upperton added. “Thanks to great teammates, we accom- plished this goal together. It was always such an honour to slide with Shelley-Ann. She is the true definition of what a Canadian Olympian is: humble, proud, incredibly committed to giving back to the community, and one of the best all-round athletes that has ever come through our sport.” Brown, who has a master’s degree in educational psycholo- gy, has enrolled in teacher’s col- lege at the University of Toronto, and has also been giving back to the community by training and mentoring young athletes and running fitness camps for adults through her new business, Joy- ful Inc. > Sabrina byrneS / Metroland TORONTO -- Canadian womens’ bobsleigh silver medalist from the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Shelley-Ann Brown of Pickering, has announced her retirement. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 20 AP WO RK BETWEEN PLAY.

Smith feels the Oshawa Generals are slowly coming around to his way of think- ing. The new head coach of the Generals guided the team to a 1-1 start to the Ontar- io Hockey League season, a 5-2 win in Peterborough Thursday followed by a 4-2 loss in Sudbury Friday, but he is less concerned about the record right now and more concerned about the style of play. “I think maybe the men- tality’s been here that we want to score a ton of goals. Well, at the end of the day the teams that win the most games are the ones that usually play the best defence,” says Smith, a for- mer NHL defenceman. “I think we’re really start- ing to buy into a defen- sive brand of hockey,” he adds. “We have some guys who can score here, but as a whole, we don’t have a ton of goals returning, and I think the mentality has to be defensive hockey first and we’ll score when we get our opportunities.” Indeed, by losing Chris- tian Thomas, Nicklas Jens- en and Andy Andreoff from last year’s club, the firepower has been sig- nificantly reduced, but it seems that captain Boone Jenner, Lucas Lessio and Scott Laughton are ready to step up their games to help compensate. And, while Jenner has already scored three times and added an assist, it’s the example he is setting with his overall play that has Smith so pleased. “You know what, he just plays hard,” says Smith. “He chases pucks, he skates and he stays on you the entire game, so every goal he gets is a hard-work- ing goal. I don’t think he’s going to have a ton of high- light goals, but he’s going to work for everything he gets and he works as hard as anyone in the league. That’s all you can ask from your captain.” Lessio, on the other hand, will score the highlight-reel goals, and did so twice in the opening night win over the Petes. Smith recogniz- es that players like Lessio, and perhaps only Lessio on this current club, have to be given a little more latitude to do their thing. On the back end, Smith says he has been pleased with the play of veterans Matt Petgrave, who has four assists already, and Colin Suellentrop, and likes the potential of both Josh Brown and Chris Carlisle, second-year players who need to take their games to the next level if the blue- line is going to succeed. Daniel Altshuller will make his third straight start in goal Friday, as the Gen- erals host the Peterborough Petes in the home opener, 7:35 p.m. at the General Motors Centre.

We would like to thank all our family, friends, neighbours, cursillistas and members of the Bible study groups. Thanks to all who sent Mass cards, perpetual enrolments, floral arrangements, those wonderful meals and to all who made a contribution to the Princess Margaret Hospital in memory of Ernest King. We would especially like to thank the Priests who con celebrated his Funeral Mass, especially Father Morosco. Dino and staff of Accetone Funeral Home, a big thank you for all your kindness, care and professionalism. We are most grateful for the tremendous help & support that we received from so many people. To those friends who spent time with us and helped us throughout the funeral, you know who you are and we will never forget it. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our deepest gratitude. Happy memories keep forever, Of days when we were all together, They bring a smile and often a tear, And always a wish that you were still here. Missed and Remembered always by your Loved Ones.
