MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- No problem is so big that it can’t be helped by small changes, a motto that Pickering’s Sajjad Jaffery has been proving right time and time again. On Nov. 20 Sajjad, 18, was named this year’s recipient of the YMCA Durham Peace Medallion for his efforts at promoting peace within the community and globally. “It was fantastic to read about all the peace-making activities going on in the area, there’s amazing work going on that you don’t know about until you put out the call,” said Lee Fraser, YMCA gen- eral manager and a member of the selection committee for the Peace Medallion.

Nahom Tsegazab, 19, a reputed Galloway Boy who goes by the street name ‘Gifted’, had been arrested in July and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. On Thursday, the Crown confirmed that he would also face murder charges in the deaths of Shyanne Charles, 14, and Joshua Yasay, 23, of Ajax, at a party on Danzig Street where another 23 peo- ple were also injured. Two weeks ago, police announced they had arrested 18-year-old Shaquan Mesquito, who goes by the street name ‘Bam Bam’. He was charged with two counts of first- degree murder, one count of attempted mur- der, reckless discharge of a firearm and 24 counts of aggravated assault stemming from the July 16 barbecue. Mr. Mesquito had been in custody since July 27, initially arrested and charged with utter- ing threats and for possession of a .22 calibre revolver. His Malvern home was shot up just hours after the gun battle. Police believe the barbecue erupted because of an altercation between rival gangs the Galloway Boys -- who had taken owner- ship of the street party that had up to 150 peo- ple in attendance -- and the Malvern Crew. Police believe Mr. Mesquito is a member of the Malvern Crew, although investigators do not believe he is solely responsible for the vio- lence. Police allege that Mr. Mesquito showed up at the party and that he, or someone he was with, was told to leave. They returned with armed reinforcements and opened fire, wounding Mr. Tsegazab and 22 others. The Danzig Street party began at about 2 p.m. on July 16. The party started to pick up steam around 8 p.m. and spilled over into a nearby parking lot. A fight erupted around 10:30 p.m. and gunmen started shooting bullets through the crowd. In the aftermath, police recovered more than 25 fired shell cas- ings and five firearms. On Sept. 11 this year, police revealed details linking the Galloway Boys to the Danzig shootings and to three homicides and seven shootings dating back to the summer of 2011. -- Torstar News Services 905-683-0407 WE BUYGOLD Old Ajax Plaza on Harwood Next to Home Hardware WATCHES 25% OFF Thanks for making us aWINNER again this year in the Readers Choice Contest.

Jurors deliberated for a full day and a half before returning with their verdict shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday. They found Mr. Monckton, 28, of Port Hope, guilty of second-degree murder in the child’s death. Mr. Monckton was also found guilty of assault causing bodily harm to Keagan, but was acquitted on a count of aggravated assault. Emotions ran high after the reading of the verdict, which came at the end of a grueling five-week trial. Members of Mr. Monckton’s family burst into tears as the verdict was read aloud in an Oshawa courtroom; one woman fled from the room, crying. After jurors had filed out, Mr. Monckton’s supporters shouted angrily at Keagan’s mother, Leigh-Ann Worrall, and her fam- ily members, accusing them of allowing Mr. Monckton to take the fall for the boy’s death. Outside, one young man stood trembling with fury and shouting obscenities as one of Mr. Monckton’s supporters struggled to move him away from the front of the Bond Street courthouse. Several police cruisers converged on the street outside the court- house as the young man, still shouting, was hustled into a pickup truck and driven away. Ms. Worrall emerged from the court- house crying and resting her head on her father’s shoulder. She reserved comment on the outcome of the trial. Mr. Monckton appeared somewhat stunned by the verdict, his shoulders slumping as he stood to hear it. He later sat with his head bowed until he was led out of court. Turning to face Ms. Worrall and her fam- ily, Mr. Monckton said, “I’m sorry I can’t give Keagan back. “I didn’t take him from you,” Mr. Monck- ton said. “You know that.” Mr. Monckton is to be sentenced in Jan- uary. His murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence with a minimum parole eligibility of 10 years. Prosecutor Paul Murray wouldn’t comment Wednes- day on what recommendation he’ll make -- the maximum period of parole eligibil- ity is 25 years -- saying he has to study case law before forming his submissions. Mr. Monckton’s spontaneous comments Wednesday were made after the jury had left, and they were his first utterances since pleading not guilty at the outset of the trial. Defence lawyer Ray Boggs did not present evidence in response to the Crown’s case, so Mr. Mon- ckton was never called upon to testify. Instead, Mr. Boggs tar- geted what he said were frailties in the Crown’s case, telling jurors the evidence entered against Mr. Monckton was wholly circum- stantial. No Crown witness testi- fied to ever seeing Mr. Monckton being abusive toward Keagan, and no hard evidence linked him to the injuries the child suf- fered, he insisted. Mr. Boggs noted in particular that Ms. Worrall provided no evidence to cast blame on Mr. Monckton. He said that’s because she knows the truth about Keagan’s fate. During his closing address to jurors last week, Mr. Murray insisted Ms. Worrall was not responsible for the many injuries the boys sustained, saying that if she is guilty of anything, it is of failing to see that the man she was infatuated with was abusing her child. “You heard what I said during the course of the closing,” Mr. Murray said Wednes- day. “I stand by that. “She’s not been charged at this point and she’s not going to be charged.” During the trial Mr. Murray told jurors that Keagan sustained his many inju- ries during the time Mr. Monckton was involved with Ms. Worrall, from the latter half of 2009 until early 2010. The little boy was alone with Mr. Monckton in their east Oshawa apartment on the morning of Jan. 5, 2010, when paramedics responding to a 911 call found Keagan without vital signs. An autopsy the next day revealed a stag- gering array of injuries. Jurors heard that while the cause of death was determined to be abdominal trauma caused by repeat- ed forceful blows, Keagan had also sus- tained broken ribs and fingers, blunt force contusions to his scalp, cracked verte- brae and extensive bruising. Court heard the injuries were inflicted in the minutes, hours, days and weeks -- possibly months -- before his death. “Keagan’s injuries were never circum- stantial,” Mr. Murray said outside court Wednesday. “Based on the surrounding circumstances, in our view, it pointed to Mr. Monckton.” Mr. Monckton was arrested two days after Keagan’s death, immediately after making a voluntary statement to Durham police. Jurors viewed a recording of that interview, and of one he gave the day after his arrest. Mr. Monckton repeatedly stated he had never harmed Keagan, saying the boy sud- denly fell ill on the day of his death. A weeping Mr. Monckton described fran- tic efforts to revive Keagan and said over and again he had loved the little boy. Jurors were told that if they believed his statements, the natural decision to reach was acquittal. Wednesday they opted, unanimously, for conviction. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 18 in Oshawa.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Conservatives should practise what they preach To the editor: Let me get this straight: Jim Flaherty is telling Canadian households to rein in their debt and live within their means. The so-called government should prac- tise what they preach: $5 billion in extra debt since March 2012. Empty promises again about income-tax splitting and no extra to be put in tax-free savings accounts. Jim Flaherty and Mike Harris could not even balance the Province of Ontario’s books; when they were turfed out the Prov- ince was in debt even though they sold the 407 to private enterprise. I for one don’t think they want a bal- anced budget; this is the same Jim Flaherty who did not think we were in a recession. Their motto is, ‘our way or the highway’. Gordon Robinson Pickering No notice provided in flight path changes To the editor: Re: ‘Ajax and Pickering skies get new jet flight path’, news, durhamregion.com, Nov. 4, 2012. I live in the same vicinity and I too noticed an increase in aircraft activity overhead this summer. I was out of the country last February, so was not aware that a new flight path had been added to Toronto Pearson, though if NAV Canada’s Ron Singer was to be believed, I would have thought that such an announcement would have run in the paper well in advance of the actual startup date and on a number of occasions. I’m retired, so I have time to read the paper pretty thoroughly, and I don’t recall ever noticing any such announcement. During the fall, the noise from the planes is not as noticeable, with windows and doors being closed for the weather, but during the summer it was very irritating. On some days there had to be an average of two to three aircraft every couple of min- utes coming in to land, and to make mat- ters worse, directly overhead seems to be the spot where the planes cut the power to their engines as they begin their descent to the airport. That action alone can sound very discon- certing, and if you are not used to it, would lead you to believe that an aircraft could be in trouble. The constant noise puts a damper on backyard activities and other functions, and one wonders if due diligence was done correctly in the first place when planning the route. If I had known I would have attended any meeting concerning the addition of the new flight path. Derek Steed Ajax Newspaper carriers deserve the recognition To the editor: A few weeks ago you featured an amaz- ing account of your carriers. This tribute certainly reinforced my ongoing faith and support in our young people. They are the future. Each profile showcased the extreme sense of commitment, maturity and responsibil- ity displayed by our youth. I know there are many more; this is just a capsule of those involved. I can’t think of a better foundation to chal- lenge our young entrepreneurs to establish and develop a spirited work ethic. They are all charming people dedicated to serving their customers. In my area we had a young lady who always upheld these qualities and served the area well for a few years until she left for college this year. Well done. Kudos to Whitby This Week for recogniz- ing and acknowledging your ‘team’. Keep up this valuable opportunity. Folks, please acknowledge your carriers. I’m proud of them all.

It’s also time for the Durham Regional Police Services’ annual RIDE campaign to combat drunk driving on local roads and highways. You’ll see the familiar spot- checks at various locations throughout Durham, from Pickering to Newcastle and on up to Port Perry, with officers on the alert. Unfortunately, police have already laid dozens of charges and more than 20 local motorists face impaired driving allega- tions and must now go through a long, arduous and potentially costly legal pro- cess after failing roadside breathalyzer tests. On the first night of the 2012 campaign alone, police issued drunk driving cita- tions to six motorists, and seven novice drivers were given 24-hour suspensions for breaching the zero-alcohol provision of their licence privileges. It’s hard to fathom, given the decades of awareness and education campaigns conducted to promote sober driving, that motorists -- men and women, teens, seniors -- continue to make the conscious decision to get behind the wheel after imbibing, selfishly choosing to gamble with their lives and the lives of others who share the Durham Region’s roads and highways. Sadly, the annual message bears repeat- ing: If you drink, do not drive. We all have a right to expect a measure of relative safety when we venture out to conduct the business of our lives. We all have jobs to work at, relatives and friends to visit -- particularly at this time of year -- and errands to run. We transport our kids to sports events, school performances and functions. And more often than not, we use our vehicles to carry us hither and yon. This Christmas season, let us all heed the message and vow to never mix alcohol with motoring. Designate a driver, call a friend, take public transit or hail a cab if you’ve been drinking. For youth, the lure of a night of fun and partying can lead to poor judg- ment and that can end -- in a split sec- ond -- in tragedy. Make preparations to get home safely. If you haven’t, or if those plans fall through, call a parent, friend or relative, no matter the hour, to get home safely. Christmas is really about fellowship, fun and celebrating the season. Let’s each commit to doing our part so we can all ring in the new year. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP 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 • No v e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP Sa m s u n g G a l a x y S I I I ™ su p e r p h o n e 3- y r t e r m w i t h vo i c e & d a t a p l a n $6 4 9 . 9 5 No t e r m $49 95 1 Sa m s u n g G a l a x y S I I HD L T E TM su p e r p h o n e 3- y r t e r m w i t h vo i c e & d a t a p l a n $5 4 9 . 9 5 No t e r m $29 95 1 Sa m s u n g G a l a x y N o t e TM su p e r p h o n e 3- y r t e r m w i t h vo i c e & d a t a p l a n $7 2 9 . 9 5 No t e r m $0 1 MO T O R O L A R A Z R TM V su p e r p h o n e 3- y r t e r m w i t h vo i c e & d a t a p l a n $3 9 9 . 9 5 No t e r m $0 1 From November 23rd to 26th, get amazing deals on Samsung and Motorola superphones.

Durham Region Transit, a Special Olym- pics Ontario major partner, has raised $355,000 for the organization through its annual tournament. “Special Olym- pics continues to grow, especially our children and youth programs. We have a good number of these programs in Dur- ham Region,” said Glenn MacDonell, Special Olympics Ontario president and CEO. “Without the generosity and funds which Durham Region Transit provides, these successes would not be possible.” • Ajax resident Anne Marie Batten is in the running to win $100,000 for Toronto charity Street Health, which cares for the city’s homeless through specialty cri- sis nursing and outreach initiatives. Ms. Batten, a crisis nurse, is in the running to win the funds from the Scotiabank Game Changers contest. Eight national game changer finalists were selected, one to represent each Canadian Foot- ball League team. The finalists each won a trip to the 100th Grey Cup and Festi- val in Toronto Nov. 25, where the contest winner will be announced. To vote for Ms. Batten and Street Health, visit www. scotiabankgamechangers.com. • Students from Clarington’s Clarke High School, together with Grade 8 students from The Pines Senior Public School, braved wind and rain to trick-or-treat for non-perishable food items Halloween night, collecting 400 pounds of food for the Clarington Food Bank. • The Town of Ajax and its employ- ees recently received an exceptional achievement award for cultural excel- lence from United Way. “When you invest in human capital infrastructure, and you do it efficiently and you do it properly, the communi- ty benefits,” said Robert Howard, cam- paign director for United Way. “This community is extraordinarily lucky with the leadership that’s provid- ed here.” Pokemon title in the cards for Durham duo Have You Heard?

He embodied peace efforts both locally and globally, his initiatives are far- reaching yet he also brings that approach to peace back home to his local community so it’s the best of both worlds.” Although he has been fundraising for various charities since he was a young boy, Sajjad was inspired to do more by a 2009 trip to Pakistan and founded the Dunbarton Peace Project when he returned. The group raises money for and promotes peace initiatives and charities including Free the Children, Pennies for Peace and KIVA micro-financing. “The idea really was to encourage small changes in order to create large changes,” Sajjad said, noting many people set unre- alistic fundraising goals. “No one can start big; it’s about starting small and branching out and doing everything on a small scale, but many times over. We really focused on promoting education and entrepreneur- ship in Third World countries and the idea of peace.” Now a student at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough cam- pus, Sajjad is studying life sciences and plans to become a doc- tor. He says he was “overwhelmed” receiving the Peace Medal- lion, especially since it meant returning to his alma mater, Dun- barton High School. “It’s an amazing feeling to be back here and receiving this award from my own school and my own community,” he said. “As a child I was always amazed at the idea of becoming Spi- derman, but my idea of a superhero changed as I matured and I began to look at people like Nelson Mandela and Gandhi and wonder how to be like them. I hope to one day be a superhe- ro, but until then I can look up to superheroes like them every day. I promise to continue to spread my message of peace and empowerment.” For more information on the YMCA Peace Medallion visit www.ymcagta.org/peaceweek.

This year, take a different approach with your holiday pur- chases -- a local approach. This is the perfect time of year to learn more about the products offered by locally owned businesses and the people who run them. You’ll be supporting your local economy. Without giving away too many surprises to my friends and family, my shopping list this year includes local wine; gift cards for nearby golf courses and ski hills; handmade chocolate and jewelry; and local art. This weekend, from Nov. 23 to 25, it’s Christmas in Clarington Country. Nine local businesses have teamed up to offer a mall-free shopping tour of their establish- ments, putting their most unique holiday gift ideas on display -- including local wine, food, bath and body products, home décor and art. The tour is complement- ed with many activities and sam- ples to make the experience extra enjoyable. For more information, visit www.thesprucetree.com. Also this weekend, Pickering Vil- lage in Ajax is hosting a shopping event in the courtyard from 4 to 7 p.m. Children will have the oppor- tunity to decorate cookies, make crafts and visit with Frosty, Rudolph and other fun holiday characters. You’ll even be able to take a break from shopping to take a picture in a genuine antique open sleigh. For the person on your list who seems to have everything, I guaran- tee you will always find something unique at the lovely boutiques in Durham Region’s downtown areas. Whether it’s freshly baked sweet treats, a lovingly crafted handmade ware, or a fabulous piece of cloth- ing, I always find the most unex- pected and appreciated gifts. Plus, an afternoon spent shopping in a downtown is wonderfully com- plemented by a hot chocolate in a local café or a glass of wine at a local restaurant. On your shopping endeavours, I encourage you to embrace the holiday spirit and pick up an extra toy for the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) Holiday Food and Toy Drive. The Food and Toy Drive began in 1989 and provides needy families in Durham Region with food and toys for the holiday sea- son. Donations can be dropped off at Durham Regional headquarters in Whitby; any DRPS Division in Durham Region; or any fire station in Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington or Ajax. Your donations will be picked up, sorted and distributed in time for Christmas, by a dedicated team of volunteers. For more informa- tion, visit www.drps.ca. No matter who you’re buying for this season, or how you choose to celebrate, keep Durham Region businesses in mind. Locally owned businesses use local resources and employ local workers. So, become a local consumer and support eco- nomic sustainability in your com- munity. To learn more about local busi- nesses and holiday shopping expe- riences this season, visit www.dur- hamtourism.ca and follow @Dur- hamTourism on Twitter. -- Kerri King is manager of Durham Tourism.

The University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology and the Cana- dian Memorial Chiropractic Col- lege recently launched the UOIT- CMCC Centre for the Study of Disability Prevention and Reha- bilitation. “The new centre will help Ontarians better manage their chronic conditions and disabili- ties,” said Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews at the launch. “I want to thank UOIT and CMCC for their contin- ued partnership and innovative approach to patient-centered care.” Dr. Pierre Cote, an asso- ciate profes- sor in the fac- ulty of health sciences at UOIT, who also h o l d s appointments at the University of Toronto and CMCC, will lead a highly experienced research team from both institutions. The centre will work with health research and innovative sup- port agencies, educational part- ners, health-care delivery institu- tions, industry and government, to examine questions regarding preventing and managing chron- ic conditions and disabilities. “I am delighted to be part of the UOIT and CMCC partnership,” said Dr. Cote in a press release. “I look forward to working with researchers from both institutions and collabo- rating with them on these innovative research proj- ects that will benefit the lives of individuals affected by chronic conditions and disabilities.” Research will occur at both institutions with the first phase located at CMCC in Toronto. Work at the centre is supported by a $2.8-million grant from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. “I am very pleased that UOIT and CMCC will have the oppor- tunity to work together on this important venture,” said Dr. Ellen Vogel, dean of the faculty of health sciences at UOIT. “The work led by Dr. Cote and his team will increase UOIT’s capacity for innovative and relevant research and also create more opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to gain valuable work experience.” In February of this year, UOIT and CMCC signed an articulation agreement that enables qualified students to complete a bachelor of health sciences (honours) in kinesiology, and a doctor of chi- ropractic degree in seven years, instead of eight.

PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

Centre for Jewish life officially opens doors in Whitby TARA HATHERLY thatherly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham residents are invit- ed to celebrate the grand opening of Chabad Jewish Centre of Durham Region Sunday, Nov. 25. Celebrations begin at 11 a.m. at 1121 Dundas St. E., Whitby, and feature a rib- bon-cutting ceremony and speeches, as well as brunch and tours of the centre. The centre is home to Chabad of Dur- ham Region, led by Rabbi Tzali Boren- stein and his wife Chana. The group, which started out of the Borenstein’s home in Whitby in 2010, works to con- nect people to Judaism and each other, funded solely by local donations. “This community’s been growing beyond everyone’s imagination,” Rabbi Borenstein said. “We knew almost nobody and very quickly a community was built, and these were many people who were not affiliated ever beforehand. They realized it’s an open acceptance, we explain the basics. Even our prayers, there’s lots of explanations in it -- where does this prayer come from, why do we say it, as opposed to just saying words which no one understands, so it’s more of an educational prayer.” Chabad of Durham Region uses song, commentary and English-Hebrew prayer books to enable both beginning and advanced followers to enjoy and partici- pate in services. “Our motto is labels belong on shirts and plants, a person is a person. We accept anyone the way they are, we’re not looking to change anyone, we’re looking to let everyone grow at their own pace,” Rabbi Tzali said. “We have the biggest diversity of people, there’s something for everyone ... We’re a cen- tre for Jewish life, we’re not just a syna- gogue. We have programs which are for adults, adult education, we have lots of kids’ programs, we have social events. It’s not just about praying, it’s about a way of life, a more meaningful and spiri- tual way of life.” Information about the centre’s pro- grams will be available at the grand opening. Canned food donations will also be accepted at the event, to build a can menorah at a Hanukkah celebration, before being donated to local food banks. “It’s been a fantastic journey,” Rabbi Tzali said of establishing Chabad of Dur- ham Region and its new centre. “The entire community keeps evolving and growing, and people are becoming fam- ily, so it’s really nice.” For more information, visit www.jew- ishdurham.com or call 905-493-9007.

Chabad Jewish Centre of Durham Region invites residents to celebrate grand opening> JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Rabbi Tzali Borenstein will host the grand opening of the Chabad Jewish Centre of Durham Region on Nov. 25 at 11 a.m. WHITBY -- Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences has introduced a new tool to support adolescent mental health education and increase awareness of mental illness. The video, Talk to Someone: You’re Not Alone, will be distributed to school boards participating in the Ontario Shores Ado- lescent Mental Health Literacy Program. The 14-minute video serves as a valuable tool for educators and to reduce stigma and give encouragement to young peo- ple who may be struggling with a mental health issue. Currently there are eight school boards and a number of private schools that have taken the training and are imple- menting the curriculum. Research shows the onset of most men- tal illnesses occurs during adolescence or young adulthood but statistics reveal that only one out of five children who need mental health services receives them.

On in Durham Colour of Life exhibition opens with Nov. 25 reception AJAX -- Artists from across Durham are taking part in an exhibition in Ajax. Colour of Life runs from Nov. 25 to mid- December at Cultural Expressions Art Gallery. There is an opening reception Nov. 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. Some of the participating artists will be present. The show features small original art works, each priced at $100 or less. “The goal for the Color of Life show is that it will be a kaleidoscope of fresh, vibrant imag- es that lift your spirit,” Esther Forde, Cultural Expressions owner, says in a press release. “And at the same time, it gives people the opportunity to buy an original at a price they would never expect. With the calibre of talented up-and-coming and more well-known artists, there are going to be deals to be had.” She says the idea for the show came from a few of the gallery’s artists, but in recent years the timing hasn’t been right. “I wanted to do something special for Christmas, a combination of sale and customer appreciation,” Forde says. The gallery is at 62 Old Kingston Rd., near Church Street and Kingston Road in Pickering Village. For more information about Cultural expres- sions, visit www.culturalexpressions.ca.

Pickering man pens personal war story Rick Pyves’s father was a Second World War rear gunner MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When his mother died five years ago, Rick Pyves found 230 let- ters she and his father had written to one another and letters his father had written to his parents during the latter part of the Second World War, most when Ron Pyves was overseas. The Pickering resident says when he found the letters “a light bulb went on” in his head: his parents, Ron and Kay, were “eye-witnesses to history -- both in Europe and on the homefront.” Five years and 5,000 writing hours later, he has released Night Madness, A Rear Gunner’s Story of Love, Courage and Hope in World War II. “There are really three stories,” Pyves says. “There’s a love story, a war story and a story about post traumatic stress disor- der.” Pyves says his dad suffered from undi- agnosed PTSD “but all he knew was he was depressed.” Pyves says it can take years, even decades, for PTSD to manifest and that’s how it was with his father. But even before it affected Ron Pyves in the late 1960s, his son says his father couldn’t watch war movies or go to fireworks dis- plays. While his father didn’t speak about the war a lot, Pyves says when his dad was depressed he would bring up the bomb- ing of Dresden in February, 1945, in which he took part. The raids killed an estimated 25,000 people and remain controversial. Ron Pyves was a rear-gunner in Bomber Command, tasked with bombing Germa- ny into submission. He flew in Halifax and then Lancaster bombers. His place was at the back of the aircraft in a bubble, man- ning machine guns to protect the big, slow birds from speedy German fighter planes. Pyves notes it was a lonely proposition: the rear gunner was isolated from the rest of the crew for hours at a time. It was cold and, on top of everything else, German pilots tried to take out the rear gunners. Incredibly, Ron Pyves survived 35 mis- sions and returned home. In his 434 Squadron, Pyves notes 55 per cent of the losses occurred in the first five missions, 76 per cent in the first 10. As for the love story part of the book, Pyves notes his mom and dad met just three times before he went overseas in 1944. The letters revealed to him how their relationship developed. Pyves’s painstaking research saw him review countless pages of archival docu- ments. He contacted his father’s former crew mates and the book ends with their stories. Pyves started the book in a creative writ- ing class at Durham College. A member of the Writers’ Community of Durham Region, he sent it off to a publisher for some feedback. Halfway through it, the publisher contacted him saying he was enjoying the book and would publish it. Pyves has already finished a first draft of his next book, The Silent 60th, on the 60th Battalion, Victoria Rifles of Canada. “I’m trying to find anybody whose rela- tives fought with the 60th Battalion,” he says. Contact Pyves at pyves@interlog.com. You can get a copy of Night Madness online at amazon.com and chapters.indi- go.ca. Pyves notes Chapters has bought the book and it should be available through local outlets.

The biggest things that could possibly happen have happened to us. Lennon made a comment a while ago about ‘I don’t even know what to dream about any more, all my dreams are coming true’.” Celebrity and success haven’t just touched mom and dad. Their daughters Lennon, 12, and Maisy, 9, covered Robyn/Erato’s Call Your Girlfriend and it went viral on YouTube, 10 million hits and counting. And the girls are on the TV drama Nashville, which The Star’s TV critic Rob Salem calls his top pick for best new show of the year. The weekly series on ABC runs like an updated version of the 70s soap Dallas but with country music. On the show, Lennon and Maisy play the daughters of musician mom Rayna James, played by Con- nie Britton, and a dad with a taste for politics, Teddy Conrad, played by Eric Close. Stella says they had received an e-mail from a man named Ken Caillat offering advice on help- ing the two young girls through the myriad of offers com- ing in since they became You- Tube sensations. He had been through the fame storm with his own daughter Colbie, he wrote. He signed with a link. Click- ing on the web link, Stella says they discovered that this friend- ly stranger was that Caillat, the Grammy-winning producer of Fleetwood Mac and someone who has worked on many other top-selling albums. His daugh- ter Colbie is also a Grammy win- ner and has worked with Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift. “We were like, what, kinda freaked out,” says Lennon. “And he did Michael Jackson,” Maisy adds. The producer of Lennon’s favourite album, Rumours, Cail- lat has co-produced Christmas Coming Home, Lennon and Maisy’s debut single, which was released Nov. 21. The song was written by Mary- lynne and Brad, who co-pro- duced. “This is our Christmas song and it’s our first single that we are releasing to iTunes and radio,” Lennon says. “We are really, really excited.” The Christmas single is the girls’ debut independent release but they do appear on the Nash- ville soundtrack album. > TWITTER.COM NASHVILLE -- Former Whitby residents Maisy and Lennon Stella, 9 and 12, respectively, have been on a roll since their YouTube cover song went viral. They appear in the TV show Nashville and have just released their first single.See IT’S page 19 Your source for the most comprehensive list of local area open houses this weekend OPEN HOUSE WEEKENDOPEN HOUSE WEEKEND ROBERTCOOK*Sales Representative Off:905.940.4180www.RobertCookHomes.com Attention Singles,Young Couples and Young Families!!!

My parents are in the music industry so that taught us a lot, just being around it. As far as acting, this is our first real thing, you know like, being able to act with these people it’s all insane. I’ve learned a lot and I’m taking tips as we go along. Me and Maisy have learned a lot from all the side things they do.” “I’ve always wanted to act and sing my whole life,” says Maisy, “but I think I want to act probably more. I like both of them but I prefer acting.” “We have gotten to be close friends with our mom and dad on the show so it’s become completely natural with them,” Lennon says. “It’s still so strange to see ourselves on TV. We’re still sisters in the show but being with different parents and being different people it’s very strange but still neat.” From page 18 Durham kitchen & bath 124 BROCK ST.

SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Pickering native leads defencemen in junior C scoring race BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- In a league populat- ed with a number of 20- and 21-year-old players, a 16-year-old rookie should find his spot, contribute quietly and wait his turn patiently until he becomes a veteran with a couple of years under his belt. Somebody forgot to tell Justin Bean that. The 16-year-old defenceman from Pickering has been more than a pleas- ant surprise for the Uxbridge Bruins 18 games into the Central Ontario Jr. C League season. The rookie has made an immediate impact not only on his team, but the rest of the league. Generally, 16 year olds just don’t lead a team or league in any offensive categories, particularly defencemen. But there is Bean, tied for the team lead in points with five goals and 15 assists through 18 games, right alongside anoth- er Pickering resident, Patrick Morgan, who has 9-11-20 numbers in 16 games. Bean’s 20 points puts him on top of the entire league for defencemen, two ahead of teammate Callum Lynch, who sits sec- ond as a 21 year old, and is in his fourth and final year of junior eligibility. “I owe a lot of it to my teammates,” said Bean in deflecting the praise following Sunday’s 6-3 win in Bowmanville over the Clarington Eagles, where he picked up an assist. “I’m getting a lot of assists because guys are putting pucks in the net.” His play and offensive contributions have certainly opened the eyes of the Bruins coaching staff. “We’re very surprised at what we’re getting from him because we didn’t have him on our radar to be this dominant,” said head coach Dan West. “He works hard, takes everything in, listens and has some good players to play with. It’s all working for him.” Bean played all of his minor hockey with the Triple-A Ajax/Pickering Raid- ers. When he wasn’t drafted in his minor midget year into the OHL, he used the snub as motivation for this season. “I was hoping I would, so of course it was disappointing when I didn’t get drafted,” said the Grade 11 student at Dunbarton. “But I used it as motivation and tried to work harder in the summer and prove everyone wrong.” He skated with Tier II junior teams in Markham, Cobourg and Wellington, but didn’t catch on, so he turned to the Jr. C loop to kickstart his junior career. Of course, playing against bigger, older players required a bit of a transition. “It’s a tough adjustment at first,” said Bean. “There’s a big size difference and speed difference, but I feel like I’ve adjusted pretty well to it.” Within his own team, the adjustment wasn’t that big, considering the Bruins have 16 new faces in the lineup, and a relatively young roster. As for the future, Bean is hoping to improve his game enough to play at the next level in time for next season. The Bruins will take their first-place record of 14-2-2 into weekend play, host- ing Georgina on Friday at 7:45 p.m., then heading to Port Perry on Sunday for a special matinee start of 1:15 p.m. to avoid a conflict with the Grey Cup. > Ones 2 Watch Pickering Swim Club competes at OSHAC Fall Invitational A total of 83 local athletes compete at event OSHAWA -- The Pickering Swim Club sent 83 swimmers to the OSHAC Fall Invitation- al in Oshawa.

WINNIWNIWTICKETS Generals’ Laughton not changing his ways Forward set for second game of return from 10-game suspension Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Scott Laughton will play his sec- ond game Friday night for the Oshawa Gen- erals since returning from a 10-game sus- pension. The ban that was levied for a hit he laid on Ottawa 67’s forward Daniel Walsh back in late October. Coincidently, it’s those same 67’s that will pay a visit to the General Motors Centre, though they will do so still without Walsh, as the 18-year-old winger has remained out of the 67’s lineup since Laughton’s shoulder connected with his head Oct. 24. Despite that, Laughton has vowed not to change his game. “We do have to watch that more where a guy is coming through the middle with his head down,” Laughton says. “But I want to finish every check, I think I did that (in Sun- day’s return) and I don’t want to stray away from my game at all.” Going back to the play that resulted in the suspension, Laughton insists there was no malicious intent to injure on his part. He doesn’t discount the fact he made con- tact with Walsh’s head on the hit, but says it would be wrong to suggest that that was his target. “It was a tough play. He was coming across the middle and I just wanted to finish my check on him. I thought he was going to cut across, but he shot and kind of leaned for- ward and I put my shoulder into his head,” Laughton, who has five goals and 14 points in 15 games, said in looking back. “That’s what they are trying to take out of the game. It was a tough play and I respect their decision (to suspend). It was tough to watch those 10 games.” Laughton’s suspension came on the heels of serious long-term wrist/hand injuries to Lucas Lessio and Hunter Smith, and just as he was about to return last week, the club lost defender Matt Petgrave to a fractured arm. Throw it all together in one big basket, and that’s a fair bit of early-season adversity for a club that despite it all -- including a run of just two wins in their last 10 -- has remained at or near the top of the OHL’s East Division. Looking ahead, though, Laughton says enduring the bumps in the road now should help better prepare the club for a late-season run. “There’s been a lot of adversity. I think it will help us come the end of the year and throughout the playoffs,” he said. “A lot of teams don’t go through it until the end of the year and they don’t know how to deal with it, so I think it will help us through that stretch. We just have got to get healthy and get back to things and keep doing things right.” Following tonight’s game, the Generals have a day off Saturday before hosting the Niagara Ice Dogs Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. > Photo by aaron bell / ohl ImageS OSHAWA -- Forward Scott Laughton recently returned to the Oshawa Generals’ line- up after serving a 10-game suspension, but has vowed to play the same way he did prior to the ban.
