PICKERING -- What once held soup, beans or even fish is now
being used for much more as students transform cans into cash
for charity.
Students of Pine Ridge Secondary School’s life skills class have
been decorating used cans donated by the community and turning
them into Anything Cans, brightly coloured depositories for any-
thing from straws to cutlery to pens and pencils or even Q-tips.

‘Book of Awesome’
author among
inductees into
Definitely Durham
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Thanks to her great aunt’s legacy,
Molly Allin will never give up on her dreams.
Molly, 9, accepted on her great aunt Dr. Eliza-
beth Allin’s behalf her induction into the Dur-
ham District School Board’s hall of fame, Defi-
nitely Durham, on Nov. 13. The annual awards
ceremony recognizes board alumni who have
gone on to do great things.
Never having met her late great aunt, Molly
knows all about her accomplishments, includ-
ing at the turn of the last century, being distin-
guished as the only woman to achieve a full pro-
fessorship in the University of Toronto’s physics
department.
“The truth is, that I can be anything if I put my
mind to it,” Molly said.
In the early 20th century, Dr. Allin attended a
one-room school, S.S. Brock No. 2, located near
her home in Blackwater, and graduated from
Port Perry High School.
She earned her undergraduate degree at U of
T, eventually completing her PhD in 1931, after
which she had many successful ventures. This
included teaching Canadian troops the science
of radar and radio mechanics in the Second
World War. She was an active member of the
International Federation of University Women,
and in the founding of the Canadian Associa-
tion of Physicists in 1945. Once retired, she
wrote Physics at the University of Toronto, 1843-
1940.
Neil Pasricha was celebrated for his bestsell-
ing books, The Book of Awesome and The Book
of (Even More) Awesome. He attended Glen
Dhu P.S. and Sinclair S.S. in Whitby, where he
was editor of the school newspaper from 1995
to 1998. His books have received much praise,
including being named bestselling non-fic-
tion book of the year in 2010 by three major
daily Canadian newspapers. His blog has also
received a number of accolades.
Unable to attend the ceremony, he said in a
letter there’s nothing he values more than com-
ing home to Durham.
The final recipient was M.M. (Mabel) Van
Camp, a graduate of Blackstock P.S. and Cart-
wright H.S. A graduate of Victoria College, Uni-
versity of Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law School,
she became a successful lawyer and partner,
and in 1965 was appointed Queen’s counsel. In
1971, she became the first female judge named
to the Superior Court of Ontario, a position she
held for 25 years. Her other roles included past
YWCA president for Metropolitan Toronto and
president of the Women’s Law Association of
Ontario. Her many awards include a Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.
“She was not just a judge in name. She believed
strongly in social justice and she modeled that
in everything that she did,” said her niece, Mary
Drinkwater.
Board chairman Joe Allin congratulated the
inductees, and said Definitely Durham is testa-
ment to a long and proud history of public edu-
cation.

Suspects sought
after teens
robbed in Ajax
and Pickering
DURHAM -- Durham police are seeking two suspects fol-
lowing violent robberies of teenagers in Ajax and Pickering
Nov. 14.
At 3:15 p.m., a 15-year-old boy was walking in the
Church Street and Randall Drive area of Ajax when he was
reportedly attacked by an unknown male who punched him
and tried to steal his cellphone, police said.
The victim was able to keep possession of his phone,
while pushing his attacker to the ground.
The victim suffered minor injuries and the attacker fled
empty-handed.
The suspect is described as male, white, approxi-
mately five-feet-seven-inches and 150 pounds with a thin
build, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and black jeans.
Shortly before 4 p.m., a 15-year-old male was walk-
ing in the Pine Grove Avenue and Nordane Drive area of
Pickering when a male approached him asking to use his
cellphone.
The male reportedly grabbed the victim’s phone and
pushed him to the ground before fleeing with the stolen
property.
The victim was not hurt in the attack.
The suspect in this incident is described as male,
black with a light complexion, approximately 15 years old,
five-feet-eight-inches and 140 pounds with a slim build,
wearing a black jacket and dark-coloured jeans.
Anyone with information related to these investiga-
tions is asked to contact police at 905-579-1520 extension
2565. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stop-
pers online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.com, or
by calling 1-800-222-8477.
Tips leading to an arrest may be eligible for a cash
reward of up to $2,000.
Witnesses sought after man
hurt in Ajax fight
AJAX -- A man was left with serious head injuries after an
assault in Ajax.
Durham police are seeking witnesses to the incident,
which occurred in a parking lot on Randall Street at about 2
a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4.
Cops said the victim was struck in the face after get-
ting into an argument with the occupants of a car outside the
Safari Bar.
The victim, 23, was left unconscious and was treated at
hospital for serious head injuries, police said. His assailant
is described as a white man with a large build, about six feet
three and 200 to 230 pounds.
Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2535 or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Weapons bust leads
to bank robbery charge
for Ajax man
AJAX -- A man arrested earlier this week on a weapons
charge has now been charged with robbing an Ajax bank.
A suspect was arrested Wednesday when members of
the Durham police gun and gang enforcement unit found him
in possession of a loaded handgun.
That bust led to a search warrant at an Ajax address
where officers seized an imitation handgun, cash and a quan-
tity of cocaine.
Further investigation linked a suspect to a robbery Oct.
28 at a Toronto Dominion bank branch on Westney Road,
police said.
Gehricko Johnson, 19, of Dominy Drive in Ajax, faces
robbery and weapons charges.

Receives gold award
for second year in a row
AJAX -- Rouge Valley Health System is continuing to
make workplace safety a priority.
The hospital was recognized with
a gold Quality Healthcare Workplace
Award from the Ontario Hospital Asso-
ciation and Ministry of Health and Long
Term Care in November, making it the
second consecutive year RVHS has
received the award.
“The fact that we’ve won gold two years in a row is sig-
nificant,” said Kathy Gooding, vice-president, human
resources for RVHS.
“It means that while we have done a lot to support a
healthy work environment for our staff, physicians and
volunteers, we have managed to stay focused on con-
tinuous improvement. Creating a healthy workplace is a
priority at RVHS, and we’re proud to be recognized.”
The award, currently in its third year, is sponsored by
the OHA and recognizes efforts to improve the workplace
in ways that contribute to employees’ quality of work life
as well as the quality of care and services delivered.
RVHS was among 39 health-care organizations across
Ontario to be recognized.
RVHS’s award submission highlighted some of its qual-
ity initiatives, including the Healthy Workplace Cham-
pion program, where designated staff act as front-line
communication liaisons between the organization and
colleagues in their units, training and development for
staff, patient rounding in which management staff mem-
bers receive patient feedback and more.

Agreement still
has to be approved
by education
ministry
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- After months of uncertainty
and long negotiations, the Durham Dis-
trict School Board and its high school
teachers reached a tentative agreement
Monday.
“We were bargaining all day,” said
Ontario Second-
ary School
Te a c h e r s ’
Federation
District 13
(Durham) pres-
ident Dave Barrowclough.
The details of the deal remain confi-
dential until it’s approved by the Ministry
of Education.
“Everything right now is sitting in
the minister’s hands,” said Mr. Barrow-
clough.
While this deal was reached with the
full-time teachers only, Mr. Barrow-
clough is confident the occasional teach-
ers will follow suit.
In September, when the Province
passed Bill 115, teacher unions and
school boards were urged to come up
with specific contracts by Dec. 31. Since
the Catholic elementary teachers’ union
had reached an agreement in the sum-
mer, the remaining teacher unions and
boards were to draw up contracts based
on that deal. It includes a wage freeze
and a reduction in sick days and bene-
fits.
“I think we reached a fair deal to the
best we could under the circumstances
for our members, for students and the
whole system,” said Mr. Barrowclough.
School board chairman Joe Allin was
happy the two sides came to an agree-
ment.
“It’s great. It’s been a very, very trou-
bling time,” he said.
Mr. Allin congratulated both
sides for their hard work.
The tentative deal also put an
end to the selective actions high
school teachers were taking, such
as meeting with parents only dur-
ing school hours and missing staff meet-
ings.
“All of our permanent teacher members
are back doing all of their full-time duties
as assigned under the collective agree-
ment as of today,” said Mr. Barrowclough
on Tuesday morning.
The approval and ratification of this
deal could mean good news for local high
school sports teams. Early this month, the
Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic
Association’s board of directors decided
to step down as of Nov. 30, leaving the
future of high school sports uncertain.
“Right now we’re hopeful that the
agreement gets passed by the minis-
ter, then it can get ratified by our district
members, and that will lead to us being
able to fulfill our roles and responsibili-
ties as directors to LOSSA,” said LOSSA
president Mark O’Neill.
“We’re hopeful that it all goes accord-
ing to plan.”
The York Region and Upper Grand
boards also reached deals with their
OSSTF districts on the weekend,
approved by the ministry Tuesday.
There is still no agreement between the
board and the local chapter of the Ontar-
io Elementary Teachers’ Federation of
Ontario.

THE CONFERENCE

By Julie Zatzman
It’s a good thing Kevin
Lauzon takes a relaxed
approach when he
interviews potential new
employees.
It’s a good thing for him,
that is.
As owner of four Tim
Horton’s locations in Whitby,
he knew Robert Hill was
nervous when he interviewed
him in 2010. So, when an
employment service referred
Robert to him, Kevin asked
the young man about his
interests and what he did
in his spare time. When
Robert talked about how
much he enjoyed working
on mechanics with his
grandfather, Kevin quickly
changed the job description
he had in mind for Robert.
Producing those popular sliced
bagels, iced cappuccinos, and
iced coffees requires specific
equipment maintenance.
Prior to Robert’s arrival, this
maintenance was left to
individual managers to assign,
but sometimes it fell through
the cracks and resulted in
equipment failure. Kevin was
spending a lot more time on
this problem than he wanted.
After he hired Robert, he
spent eight days training him
on the detailed maintenance
regime required to keep
things running smoothly.
Each piece of equipment can
cost up to $14,000. Things
had to be done correctly.
Robert learned the job
quickly and now Kevin
spends his time on different
management tasks.“In
the last two years, my
involvement in (maintenance)
activities is minimal. That’s
what I wanted.”
Robert’s success at the job
earned him an award at the
2010 EmployABILITY Award
Gala hosted by the Durham
Region Employment Network.

Festive campaign
kicks off with a
reminder
to plan ahead
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Vanessa Attard knows what
would happen if her boyfriend drove
drunk.
“Absolutely, he’d be getting a smack-
down,” Ms. Attard said. “I wouldn’t let him
do that at all. If he did, I’d be making a very
big deal out of it.”
Ms. Attard is a second-year student
at Durham College and one of sever-
al hundred college and UOIT students
who attended the kickoff of the Durham
Regional Police Festive RIDE program.
A dedicated unit of officers was out
this past weekend and 23 motorists were
charged with drinking and driving, up
from 19 in the first weekend of last year.
This year, the Think and Drive campaign
also includes addressing speeding and
distracted driving along with impaired
driving.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, a
former Durham Regional Police officer,
said there’s nothing worse than walking
up to a house at 2 a.m. to tell someone a
loved one has been killed.
“None of you want that knock on the
door at midnight, or at one, two, three or
four o’clock. I know your parents don’t,”
Mr. Anderson said.
“This launch is very important not only
to those sitting in this room, but also to
your parents, grandparents, brothers and
sisters,” he added.
Michelle Crabb, president of the Dur-
ham Chapter of MADD, said, “I know all
too well what that police officer feels like.
The victim was my 20-year-old brother.
He was killed by his best friend. He drove
drunk. Within a split second, my life com-
pletely changed. I no longer have any sib-
lings.”
At one point, she had to stop
talking to compose herself.
“No one should go through
what I went through,” Ms. Crabb
said.
In an interview, Ms. Crabb
said the driver behind the
wheel when her brother Taylor
was killed was sentenced to two
years less a day.
“It affected everyone,” she said
of the April 22, 2007 accident.
“I’ll never forget (that date).
“I would give my life” to have
her brother back, she said. “There is noth-
ing in this world more valuable to me. I
would give up anything for just 10 min-
utes. I never got to tell him I love him and
how much he meant to me.”
Durham Police Super-
intendent Kim Bulloch said
impaired driving is the No. 1
cause of criminal death in Can-
ada.
“It’s horrific. It destroys
families forever. It’s avoidable,
yet it’s caused by one person
who chose to drink and drive,”
she said. “Alcohol, BlackBer-
rys and other communication
devices don’t mix.”
Staff Sergeant Rob
Kobayashi of the Whitby OPP
detachment noted, “We will do
our part to chase those who put all of us at
risk. The more emphasis we put on it, the
more people we arrest. It’s what we do.
“We want to create a culture of account-
ability. It’s no longer socially acceptable
to get behind the wheel after you’ve had
too much to drink,” Staff Sgt. Kobayashi
added.
Last year, Durham police charged 155
motorists with drinking and driving
offences during the festive campaign.
Sergeant Jeff Galipeau of the Durham
Regional Police said, “It’s frustrating when
you look at the totality of human life that’s
lost.”
The police will be out this Sunday when
the Grey Cup is being played, he noted.
“There are so many other ways to get
home. We understand people want to have
a good time. Don’t drive, plan ahead,” he
said.

Special kids, special
opportunities in Durham
It was all about good sports in Durham
Region.
That would describe both the kids tak-
ing part and the events in which they par-
ticipated as part of an initiative of Durham’s
Grandview Children’s Centre, its first Adven-
tures in Parasport. The event saw local kids
taking part in a host of fun and pulse-quick-
ening activities designed to get them excit-
ed about the opportunities for sport and fit-
ness, to broaden their horizons and to let
them sample the options that are available.
Children from Durham who took part also
managed to enjoy a bit of local star power
with the assistance of Isaiah Christophe, a
gold medallist at the 2011 Parapan Ameri-
can Games in the 100-metre wheelchair
race. The Grandview program, in partner-
ship with several local organizations includ-
ing the Durham Abilities Centre in Whitby,
had students testing their skills in wheel-
chair basketball, sledge hockey, wheel-
chair racing, martial arts, wheelchair tennis,
bocce ball and more.
Its success lies in providing participants
with a fresh perspective on what they can
accomplish in sport and in life, as opposed
to focusing on their limitations. The Adven-
tures in Parasport program, along with
promoting physical skills and fitness, also
encourages greater social skills and motor
skills development, and exposes partici-
pants to the principles of teamwork and the
benefits of working together.
The experience of Janette Duarte’s son,
Gabriel, illustrates the goals of the program.
His excitement and wonder at test driving a
racing wheelchair, along with his mother’s
insights, clearly underscore the positives:
“It definitely builds his confidence,” she said
of his participation. “He already knows he’s
different, but this shows him he can still do
all the same things.”
Other participants noted that new oppor-
tunities, stretching boundaries, a sense of
belonging and normalcy are the hallmarks
of the Adventures in Parasport program.
The efforts of Grandview and other orga-
nizations in Durham Region which pro-
vide opportunities for those with disabilities
-- such as The Durham Steelhawks sledge
hockey league, or the Durham Dragons Spe-
cial Hockey league for residents with mental
challenges -- serve to challenge and nurture
local residents with special needs.
Credit is due to all who make it happen,
who work to provide such wonderful oppor-
tunities for these Durham Region residents.
In many ways, these kids are much like
youngsters across Durham Region, who
want opportunities for activity, socializing
and learning new skills. In one particular
way, however, they are not different at all:
they just want to play.
Green energy is preventive medicine
This December, Quebec will shut down its only nuclear reactor, Gen-
tilly-2, while Ontario looks to spend billions to resuscitate the aging Dar-
lington nuclear station. Like Quebec, we should divert those billions into
renewable, healthier energy sources.
There are many reasons for phasing out nuclear power -- it’s expensive,
environmentally destructive and so far has created over 40,000 tons of
radioactive waste that we’ll need to manage for a million years.
But health risks of the nuclear industry slip under the radar of govern-
ments, policy-makers, and the public. As physicians, it is our duty to advo-
cate for illness prevention and we see nuclear power as a serious threat to
public health. Numerous studies on the health impacts of nuclear plants
show an elevated risk of illnesses in nearby populations. In 2008 a well-
designed German government study showed that children under five years
old living within a five-kilometre radius of all 16 of the country’s nuclear
plants had an elevated risk of developing leukemia. A similar French study
showed children under 15 years old living within five kilometres of all 19 of
France’s reactors had an elevated risk of leukemia.
In Canada, there is not a single large scale case-control study examining
health effects of radioactive emissions from nuclear reactors. Without the
appropriate studies, it is reasonable to assume that our reactors -- like those
in Europe -- are causing illness. Ontario’s nuclear reactors are in the most
populous region of the country. More than 450,000 people live within 20
kilometres of the Darlington station.
And then there’s Fukushima. While Canadian reactor operators assure us
the risk of an accident is insignif-
icant, we witness a major nucle-
ar accident about once a decade
somewhere in the world. Given the mas-
sive impact that such an accident would have
on our economy, environment and health,
this is no insignificant risk.
Post-Fukushima, Germany, Bel-
gium, Switzerland and Japan have
all decided to phase out nuclear
power and invest in green energy.
They are eliminating the risk of nucle-
ar accident, protecting human health, and
creating green jobs. Meanwhile, the Ontario
government has refused to even consider alterna-
tives to Darlington. This is a mistake.
Preventive medicine starts with closing Darlington
and developing safe energy alternatives. As physicians, we
advocate for preventive medicine.

Opinions
All men should be lucky enough to have someone like my
friend John in their life. Every once in a while, with no par-
ticular fixed frequency, John will call me to let me know it’s
time we had a ‘meat night’. I immediately clear my schedule
to make room for this sacred event.
I never dither or tarry. It is not wise to postpone or in
any way put off a ‘meat night’. To do so is to deny one-
self the essential and rejuvenating gifts of male com-
panionship, good conversation, buckets of laughter,
sage wisdom and enough protein to sustain a
small African nation. All washed down with
copious amounts of ale, wine and single malt
then finished to meditative perfection with a
good Cuban cigar.
All that is missing is a roaring fire, leather wing-
back chairs and a good case of gout.
And I am certain, that with a little effort on our
parts, the latter will make itself known in
due course.
‘Meat night’ is actually somewhat of
a misnomer as the culinary prepa-
rations commence sometime in
the ‘meat afternoon’, when John
begins marinating, braising,
steaming or otherwise lovingly
tenderizing enormous sections
of cow.
He will also work his dark
gastronomic magic on other
equally delicious side dish-
es; sinfully aromatic platters
of roasted sweet potatoes
drizzled with virgin olive oil
then generously anointed with
rosemary and cracked pepper-
corns, broccoli and asparagus
from his own garden and exponen-
tially potent garlic bulbs the size of your
fist.
Kings do not eat this well.
For my part, I need only show up,
bottle and/or dessert in hand. By the
time I arrive, John’s kitchen is posi-
tively redolent with flavour, warmth and welcoming. Anoth-
er one of the reasons I adore John so much is that when it
comes to friendships he is as old school as they come. John
always greets me with a huge hug and a kiss. That’s right, a
kiss.
Men used to kiss each other in greeting all the time.
In many cultures they still do.
I don’t know why we in the west have
become so adolescently squeamish about this.
A handshake will do in most situations but a
kiss from a friend sits you down with them
in a whole different place.
There is no more succinct, beautiful or
immediate way to let someone know they are
important to you as a kiss. Male or female, it is
perfect.
And so the ‘meat night’ begins. As the beef
slowly cooks and the vegetables patient-
ly roast and the salad is prepared, we
talk. And we talk. And we talk. We
sip our drinks and laugh and lis-
ten and nod our heads in complic-
it male understanding. We are in
turn serious, intellectual, las-
civious and happily idiotic. We
are connected in a way that
all of us hunger for and most
of us, tragically, are starved
of.
This, I think, is what is
really meant when we talk
about the sanctity of ‘breaking
bread’ with someone. It’s about
so much more than just the eating. The
meat feeds the body but the connection
nourishes the soul. John understands
this completely. And as I say, I count
myself infinitely lucky to be invited to
his table.

Dinner with a friend nourishes the soul
...On the ongoing teachers’
dispute and a controversial
gender issue in Durham...
Facebook discussions in the past week focused
on the dispute between teachers and the Prov-
ince, and on a transgendered high school stu-
dent....
Exov Edate: The problem is the
negotiated agreements are subject
to the approval of minister broten,
who has already outlined her
expectations of the collective
agreements... They must be exactly similar to what
is outlined in bill 115..... No other collective agree-
ment will be approved..... Teachers have already
publicly accepted a wage freeze and told the pub-
lic that work action would not affect the quality of
instruction during class time. teachers cannot
accept bill 115 because bill 115 endows the minis-
ter with unprecedented powers that contradicts
their charter rights (ie the ability to approve or
deny collective agreements, suspend work action,
etc) why does the minister have to suspend char-
ter rights to get a wage freeze when teachers have
already accepted that.... Broten and the liberals
have created a mess (air ambulance, ehealth, etc)
and are now trying to clean up by creating a liberal
leadership races .... It’s shameful
Barb Steve: “Banked sick days
are the only short term disability
plan teachers have”......who else
has that luxury??? The average
joe has no choice if they need time
off for illness so that argument doesn’t hold well
with me.
On a transgendered student...
Allyson Partridge: Have a couple
single room washrooms in loca-
tions (like family rooms) and lets
get on with life. As a person in a
wheelchair...if I started asking
everyone to sit down during the anthem or not
stand sit and kneel in church - there’d be an
uproar. Yet there is no real equality in the fact that
those who can’t stand have to watch everyone
who can.
Vicky Axhorn: Move along,
Clarke High School, it’s 2012, was
it worth all this backlash just to
upset this student, grow up School

On a leash-free park in Whitby:
Why is it taking the town of Whitby to declare a park or plot of land for
dog owners to let there dogs run free. how hard can it be to designate some land for dog owners. Plenty of green spaces around town, every other town around us is capable of doing this. But the town has there mind in neutral and can’t get this done, shame on Whitby and our elected politicians.
-- Charlie Spencer
On medical services:
It makes me mad that OHIP does not
cover eye and dental care. I think those things are important to our health, yet it’s not considered important. I agree some things that aren’t necessary should cost, but a checkup once a year should be free. Teeth and eyes are just as important for overall health.

Pickering sees
biggest increase,
Oshawa
more modest
Jennifer O’Meara
jomeara@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Homeowners will see the
assessed value of their property increase
by an average of 13.8 per cent -- phased in
at 3.3 per cent for the next four years -- after
new assessments arrived in the mail in early
October.
The first thing the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation (MPAC) wanted
to make clear is that property value assess-
ment does not equal property taxes. Rath-
er, assessments are meant to put a higher
municipal tax burden on those with more
valuable property.
If the property assessment increase is
higher than the average for the municipality
and the region, it’s likely those owners can
expect a tax increase.
If the property assessment is exactly in line
with the average increase, it’s likely the
owner will have the average annual property
tax increase -- set by municipalities and the
Region.
If a property value goes down or is assessed
at lower than the average increase, the owner
will be facing lower property taxes than most
and the tax bill could even go down.
“Sales prices have indicated that (most)
property values have increased from 2008
(when the last assessments were done),” said
Michael Porporo, MPAC municipal relations
representative.
Property assessments increased in every
Durham municipality. The highest jump
was in Pickering at 17.2 per cent, phased in
at 4.2 per cent for the next four years. The
most modest increase was in Oshawa with
an 8.9 per cent increase, phased in at two
per cent over the next four years.
MPAC uses sales prices of similar prop-
erties in the area to assess home values,
and factors in location, lot dimension, liv-
ing area, age of house and the quality of the
building construction.
In their MPAC assessments, owners will
find an access code they can use to view
their property details at www.aboutmyprop-
erty.ca. They can also compare their prop-
erty assessment to other properties in their
area.
MPAC assesses over five million proper-
ties and Mr. Porporo said it is possible they
could miss something, such as a garage that
used to be on the property that’s been torn
down.
If there are any problems with your prop-
erty value assessment contact the MPAC
at 1-866-296-6722 or visit the local office
at Suite 170, Office Galleria in the Oshawa
Centre.
“At MPAC we will strive for accuracy and
if there’s an error brought to our attention,
we’ll fix it,” said Mr. Porporo.

“The cans are symbolic,” said teacher Bren-
da Hopper. “We have enough, we’ve already
eaten the food that was in those cans and
now we’re giving back.
Ms. Hopper was inspired to contribute
to the fight against poverty during a teach-
er mentoring session at the Durham Dis-
trict School Board, where she learned some
sobering statistics about poverty, including
the fact that one out of every six children in
Ontario is living in poverty.
“I came up with the idea but the kids were
very keen to do it,” Ms. Hopper said, noting
the students in her special needs class have
varying levels of ability to contribute.
“They love the idea of helping others who
are less fortunate,” she explained.
“The ultimate goal was for them to learn
to help others and I think they’ve really been
spurred to that because they learned so many
people with disabilities are living in poverty.
And just knowing there are children living
in poverty really saddens them, so there’s a
whole social action piece involved.”
Student Jordan Lea was busily decorating
his can with a colourful seascape picture,
which included a large ship that he thought
would look great on someone’s shelf.
“We’re doing this for kids who don’t have
much food or water, and we’re hoping we can
help that and change things for them a bit,”
Jordan said. “I think the project is great, I real-
ly like the purpose that it’s for.”
Once students are done decorating the
cans, each one is laminated and labeled with
the name of the student who designed it.
The cans are being sold for a minimum
donation of $2 each, with proceeds to Dreams
and Wishes Children’s Charity, a local orga-
nization that provides children entering shel-
ters with bags packed with pajamas, toiletries,
books and a stuffed animal, provides Christ-
mas gifts and hosts an annual “un-birthday”
celebration for kids living in shelters.

per@durham.edu.on.ca.

Directions from Highway 401:
Project would be
a partnership with
City, Pickering
Soccer Club
Moya Dillon

PICKERING -- Year-round soccer could
be coming to Pickering after councillors
praised a proposed indoor facility.
Phil Frampton, president of the Pickering
Soccer Club presented a business plan
for the project to Pickering councillors
at council’s executive committee meet-
ing Nov. 12, noting such a facility has long
been needed.
“As the club continues to grow in both the
recreation and competitive environments
the need for local, high-quality facilities
available all year round has grown stron-
ger every year,” Mr. Frampton explained,
noting club members now travel to facili-
ties in Toronto, Oshawa and Whitby.
“This facility is intended to provide the
city’s youth and adult residents with year-
round athletic facilities focusing most-
ly on developing soccer players but also
meeting the requirements for other sports
including Frisbee, lacrosse, rugby and
golf,” he said.
“In today’s environment where youth
are getting less recreation at the public
education level, local organizations are
there to take up the slack and PSC wants
to provide this initiative locally.”
The planned facility at 1955 Clements
Rd. would include a full-size soccer pitch
housed under an air-supported dome,
which could be split into quarters for dif-
ferent activities, and attached change
rooms, meeting rooms and administra-
tion facilities for the club.
The nearly $5-million facility would be
funded by the City through debentures
by the Region of Durham and repaid by
the club over a 15-year period. The facil-
ity would be operated by PSC, with the
club fully responsible for ongoing operat-
ing costs and repaying the full capital cost
plus interest. City staff estimates there will
be no impact on the City’s property tax
levy.
“I hope you’ll all agree our business plan
shows we will be able to meet the goal of
total repayment to the City and provide a
facility that this city and its residents can
be proud of,” Mr. Frampton said.
Councillors expressed unanimous
enthusiasm over the proposal.
“I fully support this and am happy this
is coming forward, and even more ecstat-
ic about the partnership agreement,” said
Councillor Jennifer O’Connell.
“I don’t think this could happen any
other way, the City couldn’t afford to do
it on their own and operate it and do the
specialized work that PSC can do and I
don’t think PSC could do it without the
land and loan and great interest rate the
Region gets from its AAA credit rating.”
Mayor Dave Ryan also praised the part-
nership.
“There’s been a long-standing relation-
ship between the City and the club,” Mayor
Ryan said. “We’ve watched you grow and
I’m very pleased with what you do for
youth in our community and all ages.”
Councillors voted unanimously to rec-
ommend approval of the proposal. A final
vote will be held at the council meeting on
Nov. 19.

Open house
Thursday, Nov. 22
DURHAM -- The Humane Society of Dur-
ham Region will host an open house this
Thursday for the horses it recently res-
cued.
Animal investigators rescued 13 horses
found in poor condition in the Durham
area in late October, and they’ll soon be
ready for adoption.
The horses will be available for viewing
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 22 at a location
that will be made available on Wednesday
afternoon.
Staff will be on hand accepting applica-
tions and answering questions. No deci-
sion as to permanent homes for the horses
will be made at that time, and anyone pre-
paring to apply should bring the contact
information for their veterinarian, board-
ing facility and three references.
At the time of adoption, the new owner
will be required to donate a minimum of
$50 to finalize the paperwork.
Call 905-665-7430 or visit humanedur-
ham.com for more information and the
location update on Wednesday afternoon.

Parasports highlights
opportunities

OSHAWA -- The whirring of wheels slowly
ebbed away as Gabriel Duarte brought his
borrowed racing wheelchair to a stop to greet
his mother.
"It's really cool," he said excitedly, wheeling
to and fro in the chair, seemingly unwilling to
come to a complete stop. "You go so fast, it's
really exciting."
Gabriel is one of 19 kids from Grandview
Children's Centre taking part in the organiza-
tion's first Adventures in Parasport program,
designed to introduce children to parasports
and foster partnerships with area sports pro-
grams. "There are so few opportunities for
people with disabilities to engage in sports in
Durham, we wanted to encourage kids to get
involved in these activities and show them
what they can do," said Lindsay Gurr, a phys-
iotherapist at Grandview who helped launch
the program. “There’s a big need for sports for
kids with special needs.”
On Nov. 13, the kids were learning how
to run or wheel the track at Oshawa’s Civic
Recreation Complex with the help of Isaiah
Christophe, who took home gold in the 100-
metre wheelchair race at the 2011 Parapan
American games, and the Durham Dragons
track team.
Throughout the program Grandview also
partnered with Bridging the Gap, Bamboo
Spirit, Durham Abilities Centre and the Dur-
ham Steelhawks to offer students opportuni-
ties to try wheelchair basketball, sledge hock-
ey, wheelchair racing, martial arts, wheel-
chair tennis, bocce ball and more.
"It really opens their eyes to what they can
do rather than the limitations that people
always get stuck on," said fellow physiother-
apist Melissa Dermody, noting she hopes it
will also open the eyes of local programmers.
"We're hoping more spaces for children
with disabilities will open up in the commu-
nity. It's easier for already established pro-
grams to take on these kids; teaching kids
with disabilities is no different than training
other children. It's easy to integrate them into
programs, they just want to play."
Ms. Dermody noted that besides the ben-
efits outside of regular physical activity, sport
can also help develop social skills, motor skills
and teamwork as well as skills such as follow-
ing instructions and taking turns.
Janette Duarte, Gabriel's mother, said the
program has been great for her son.
"Gabriel comes from a big family and every-
one's really busy and involved with differ-
ent stuff. This gives him an opportunity to be
involved and do stuff too, it lets him feel like
he's got his thing," she said.
"It definitely builds his confidence. He
already knows he's different, but this shows
him he can still do all the same things."
That feeling of belonging and normalcy was
an eye opener for Julia Gaidychuk, who regu-
larly participates in horseback riding at Win-
dReach Farms but joined the parasports pro-
gram to see what else was out there.
"I learned that you can do a lot of things
no matter what your disability is," she said,
noting the program has made her especially
keen to try skiing.
Her mother, Margaret Gaidychuk, said she's
hoping the program will help Julia find some-
thing she loves to do.
"Even though mobility-wise she's a lit-
tle slower than other kids, she needs to stay
active, so it would be nice if she found some-
thing that made exercise not feel like work for
her," Ms. Gaidychuk said.

Pickering juniors win
football quarter-final
with overtime touchdown
OSHAWA -- Pickering and Assumption College
(Brantford, 2001 champions) met in quarter-
final play for the Ontario regional junior foot-
ball championship at Civic Fields in Oshawa on
Friday, with Pickering prevailing in an overtime
thriller, 34-31.
The Trojans took an early 7-0 lead when
they took advantage of an Assumption fumble.
The short drive ended with a 10-yard touchdown
pass reception by Justice Johnson, who also
picked up the point after. Undeterred, Assump-
tion recovered a Pickering fumble and marched
the ball from midfield to pull even at seven in the
second quarter. Kavin Cann picked up the seven
points with a 38-yard scamper as well as the
convert.
The teams would then trade touchdowns
prior to the half. First, it was Darnell Jarrett
unleashing a 19-yard run for Pickering, which
was countered by Logan Homer’s 24-yard carry
on a well-executed double reverse.
The Trojans took the lead for the third time in
the third quarter when Jarrett took a screen pass
74 yards to the house. Once again, the Lions
roared back as Luke Saunders, on a keeper,
completed an impressive nine-and-a-half-minute
drive when he scored from the one-yard line to
level the game at 21 through three quarters of
play.
With just over four minutes remaining,
Assumption was able to take the lead for the first
time as Cann carried the ball in from the 17-yard
line. His fourth convert of the game put Assump-
tion on top by seven.
Now with the ball and the clock ticking
down, the Trojans were fortunate to escape a
fourth and long situation as Jaylan Latouche,
under extreme pressure, completed a 30-yard
desperation pass to Johnson. Three plays later,
Latouche found Johnson for a 24-yard passing
major with 1:23 remaining. Trailing by one, the
Trojans lined up for the game-tying point after
attempt. The snap to the holder, Latouche, was a
little high and he decided to pass for two points
and the lead. He was immediately met by a pride
of Lions and brought down to the turf.
With the crowd now anticipating an onside
kickoff attempt, Tarrick Brissett sailed the ball
75 yards into the end zone and the Lions were
trapped behind the goal line, giving the Trojans
the single point rouge and setting up overtime.
The Lions had first possession in overtime
starting at the 35-yard line. They picked up a first
down at the 21, however three plays later fac-
ing fourth and eight, they called upon Cann to
deliver a 25-field goal. The three pointer upped
his personal point total for the day to 19.
Also starting from the 35, two first downs
later, Pickering found themselves with a first and
goal from the 10. They then called upon Jarrett,
who carried the ball to the end zone to give the
Trojans the overtime victory.
Pickering now faces Ashbury College of
Ottawa in a neutral site semifinal on Saturday
afternoon at St. Michael’s College. Ashbury Col-
lege beat Centennial (Belleville) 24-14 in their
quarter-final.
The final will be Wednesday, Nov. 28 at St.
Michael’s.
Beat Stoney Creek
6-2, Brampton 6-0
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- After a two-week hiatus, the Dur-
ham West Junior Lightning had a little
rust on their game, but where it counts, in
the win column, they upped their total by
two.
Having taken a break from the schedule
to accommodate the U18 national cham-
pionships in British Columbia, where
forward Laura Horwood returned with a
gold medal as a member of Team Ontar-
io Blue, and goaltender Kassidy Sauve a
bronze with Team Ontario Red, coach
Wayne McDonald got pretty much what
he was expecting from his club. Some of
the sharpness was gone, but the effort
was there, resulting in a pair of home ice
wins, 6-2 over Stoney Creek on Saturday
and 6-0 against Brampton on Sunday.
“That was one of our problems,” said
McDonald of not having played a Provin-
cial Women’s Hockey League game since
Nov. 3. “We had close to a two-week lay-
off and it showed in our play. They were
rusty. They were working hard and excit-
ed, it was just the passes weren’t on.”
Against Stoney Creek, the Lightning
fell behind 1-0 after the first period, but
scored three times in the second while
allowing one for a 3-2 lead. In the third
they scored three unanswered, the final
into an empty net with 29 seconds left, to
complete the scoring. Despite winning
quite handily, the shots were only 22-21
in favour of the Lightning.
“The game with Stoney Creek was a
little misleading in the fact we were 3-2
heading into the third. Our goalie (Jackie
Rochefort) had to make a couple of nice
saves to keep it at 3-2. Even when we went
up 4-2 she made a big save.”
Carly Marchment was the top scorer
with three points, scoring once and add-
ing two helpers. Brittany St. James netted
a pair of goals, while Samantha McKen-
zie, Lindsay Johnston and Horwood had
one each.
The strong third period against Stoney
Creek carried over into the next day in
the 6-0 blanking of Brampton. St. James
scored twice for the second game in a row,
while Kennedy Marchment scored a pair
of her own. Michele Knecht and John-
ston had the other goals for the Lightning,
who dominated the game, outshooting
Brampton 34-11.
Rochefort, getting her second start of
the weekend in goal, earned the shutout.
It was the eighth game in a row that the
Lightning have played without losing in
regulation time. The only blemish to go
along with seven wins during the stretch
was an overtime loss to Whitby.
McDonald praised the play of Kennedy
Marchment, who finished the weekend
with two goals and three assists, and St.
James, who scored four times.
On Kennedy Marchment: “She’s been
playing outstanding for us and it’s reflec-
tive in her points.”
On St. James: “She’s a goal scorer and
we knew that going in. Her midget stats
were really good and we were hoping that
she could transfer them over to this level
and she’s doing it.”
This week the Lighting host Toronto on
Saturday at 8:30 p.m. at the Ajax Commu-
nity Centre, travel to Waterloo on Sunday,
then host Mississauga on Tuesday at 8:30
p.m. in a game rescheduled from Nov. 4.

Notre Dame has something to prove
Lady
Cougars
seeded
eighth at
OFSAA
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Notre Dame
Lady Cougars are looking
to exceed the middle-of-
the-pack seeding they have
received for the OFSAA
Quad-A senior girls’ bas-
ketball championships.
Notre Dame has been
seeded eighth in the
16-team tournament that
tips off Thursday in Lon-
don, where their first
round opponent will be
No. 14 John Paul II at 1 p.m.
To reach the gold medal
game, they will need to
string two wins in a row,
which would likely set
up a quarter-final show-
down with No. 1 seeded St.
Thomas More.
But it’s one game at a
time, just like it has been
all season.
“We didn’t look past the
LOSSA final,” said head
coach Rose Booker of the
team’s season. “I think
we are going to go and do
well. We have been play-
ing some good basketball.
We just peaked all year
long. I think we are going
to go and surprise some
people at OFSAA.”
It’s the first time Notre
Dame has been back to
the provincial tournament
in three years, as Pickering
has been the LOSSA rep-
resentative in 2010 and
2011. In 2008 Notre Dame
reached the quarter-finals,
and in 2009 were relegated
to the consolation round
after losing their second
game in the main draw.
They reached the consola-
tion semifinals before get-
ting eliminated.
Brianna Thomas was on
both of those teams. The
fifth-year senior was in
Grades 9 and 10 during
those two visits to OFSAA,
and vowed to go back in
her final year of eligibility.
“The goal was to come in
and win LOSSA finals and
get to OFSAA one more
time before I move on and
that’s what we did,” she
said shortly after Notre
Dame secured an OFSAA
berth with a win over rival
Pickering in the LOSSA
final. “We all had to play as
a unit to get there and we
did.”
Notre Dame dethroned
SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland
AJAX -- Brianna Thomas, a fifth year senior from Notre
Dame, will lead her team into the Quad-A OFSAA bas-
ketball championships that begin Thursday in London.
>the two-time defending
LOSSA champions from
Pickering in last week’s
final at Durham College
in Oshawa, jumping out to
an early lead and then sur-
viving a late fourth-quar-
ter scare to prevail 35-27.
Thomas was the leading
scorer with 15 points, hit-
ting four clutch free throws
in the final 1:17 to secure
the win.
It was a good way to
close out her LOSSA
career, having committed
to Duquesne University,
where she will enroll in
January.
“It feels amazing,” she
said of winning LOSSA
and heading to OFSAA to
close out her high school
career. “I love that I got
to go back with this team
because we have come
so far over the last two
months. We’ve grown as a
team and became a fam-
ily.”
Elimination games will
be played Thursday and
Friday, with the gold and
bronze medal games Sat-
urday in London.

AP Lacklustre effort leads to split for Generals
Team falls 5-3
to Mississauga
after beating
Belleville
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Heading into Sunday’s
game, the Oshawa Generals had
collected three of four points in two
previous games and had a team
coming in on the last of a three-in-
three stretch.
That would suggest the Missis-
sauga Steelheads should have been
ripe for the picking and that a five-
out-of-six-points weekend would
be in the cards for the Generals.
Not so.
Rather, despite leading after two
periods of play, it was Oshawa that
put forth the lacklustre effort, look-
ing tired and somewhat disinter-
ested from the start in a 5-3 loss to
the Steelheads in front of 4,095 at
the General Motors Centre.
Even with the loss, the Generals
still came out of the weekend still
tied for top spot in the East Divi-
sion, though coach DJ Smith was
less than impressed with his club.
“We didn’t have legs and when
you don’t have legs you’ve got to
play the right way and we didn’t
play the right way,” said Smith
afterwards, sounding more frus-
trated than he has at any point
through the first two months of
the season. “We almost got away
with it, leading going into the third
period, but tonight the better team
won. You’re not going to win in this
league if you’re not willing to com-
pete and play hard every night.”
After seeing much better efforts
out of his team Friday in a 5-1
home-ice win over the Belleville
Bulls and Thursday up in London
in a 4-3 overtime loss, Smith didn’t
have an answer as to why he got
such an effort, or lack of, on Sun-
day.
One thing he was sure of, though,
is he doesn’t want to see it again.
“I have no idea, but I am certainly
not happy about it,” he said when
asked for the reasoning behind the
poor showing. “We’re going to go
over it this week, we’re going to talk
with the players. That’s not the way
I ever want my team to play.
“A team coming in on a three-
in-three, we should be jumping
all over them and we just didn’t. I
don’t know if we took them lightly,
or whatever the case may be, but
we deserved what we got tonight.”
On Friday they got what they
deserved as well, with the outcome
much more desirable.
With offence hard to come by
of late and captain Boone Jenner
seemingly the only one to pro-
vide it with marked consistency, a
group of others stepped up in a big
way against the Bulls.
Cole Cassels had his first career
two-goal game in the OHL, and
added an assist for a three-point
night, while Tyler Biggs potted a
pair as well to lead the way. Scott
Sabourin had the other goal, his
10th of the year to equal his career-
high set last season.
Daniel Altshuller played both
weekend games -- along with
Thursday in London as well -- with
mixed results. Friday he stopped
26 for the win, while in Sunday’s
22-save effort he was beaten more
than once in a questionable man-
ner.
The Generals (12-10-1-2) return
to action Friday night at home to
the Ottawa 67’s before hosting the
Niagara Ice Dogs on Sunday after-
noon (2:05 p.m.).
“We’re going to be intense all
week. We’re going to practise hard
and we’re going to make sure we’re
ready for Friday night when Ottawa
comes in here,” Smith said when
asked how his team would turn the
page.
Generally speaking
Overage defenceman Matt Petgrave,
who broke his arm in Thursday’s loss to
London, underwent surgery on Monday
to have a pin inserted and is expected
out six to eight weeks. His absence cre-
ates a huge void on the Generals’ blue-
line, with coach DJ Smith hoping Chris
Carlisle and Tyler Hore, among others,
can step up and fill in ... Scott Laughton
made his return to the lineup Sunday
after serving out his 10-game suspen-
sion for a head-check on Ottawa’s Dan-
iel Walsh Oct. 24. He centred the third
line and replaced Petgrave on the point
for power plays. As of Tuesday Walsh
remains out of the 67’s lineup.
