With the announcement of new Ontario government support and expanded funding for youth in and leaving the care of a Chil- dren's Aid Society, Ms. Ho is hopeful that other youths won't have the same experi- ence. "It was really rough," said Ms. Ho, 20, who moved out on her own at the age of 16 as a crown ward. She says there was often not enough time, or money, left over to do normal high school things such as going to the movies, when she was busy learning how to cook, clean and budget while attending classes and complet- ing homework and assignments on time. In addition to the financial struggles, the experience took an emotional toll. "There's just not a lot of support," Ms. Ho said. "There are social workers, but often it's financial support they're able to access for you, there's not a lot of emotional support. In the middle of the night if you have trou- bles with something and want to talk about it, there's no one there." The new supports include raising the min- imum monthly financial support for youth aged 18 to 21 to $850 from $663, providing $500 per month to youth aged 21 through 25 who are enrolled in post-secondary edu- cation, introducing new mentorship oppor- tunities and funding up to 50 new transition workers to support young people as they leave care. At the Durham CAS, many of the announced changes have been regular practice for some time, including partnering with community organizations to provide mentorships and support to youth leaving care, and monthly financial support of $1,000, well above the minimum. Wanda Secord, executive director of Dur- ham CAS, says she and her staff are excited by the opportunity to provide more support for youth leaving their care. "Until we see how some of these actions will be implemented we're not sure how it's going to impact our agency specifically, other than that it's great news our youth who are with us and leaving our care will be support- ed through additional funding," Ms. Secord said. On average each year the Durham CAS sees about 55 youth leaving, or "aging out", of care at 18, while about 75 enter extended care maintenance at 16, where they are still eligible for support but generally live on their own. For Ms. Ho, who is now studying social work at Ryerson University, some of the announce- ments are life-changing. "The tuition changes are definitely going to affect me, when I heard that one I almost cried," Ms. Ho said. In addition to the monthly support, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Univer- sities is inviting post-secondary institutions to partner with them to jointly cover 100 per cent of tuition fees, up to a maximum of $6,000. For the 2012-2013 academic year, 11 post-secondary institutions were offering the program. "That's a lot of money and it's going to mean I don’t have to work part-time and go to school full-time," Ms. Ho said. "Having that tuition support is going to mean a lot to me and other kids in university. My life will definitely be different." The recommendations were spurred by a series of hearings held in November 2011, where youth in care and former crown wards testified about their experiences with the sys- tem. From those hearings they created the My Real Life book, which detailed the problems with the system and recommended changes. The government then created a panel to look over the recommendations and create a blue- print for implementing change, which culmi- nated in the Jan. 24 announcement of new support. "I think they’ve hit many of the highlights of the recommendations in the blueprint," Ms. Secord said. "They’re great initial steps, and I think as it continues to evolve they may consider other recommendations. It's very important we support all of our youth to achieve their growth and their dreams." As a participant in the initial hearings and a contributor to My Real Life, Ms. Ho says she is happy with the changes, but thinks more work needs to be done. She suggests tying the monthly financial support minimum to inflation, and raising the age of protection from 16 to 18 as impor- tant changes that still need to be made. "With any sort of program or system there needs to be ongoing, continuous evaluation of programs and policies and their impacts on the service user," Ms. Ho said. "People in care and from the care system should be a key part of the development and evaluation of programs and policy going forward."

Mr. Marcoux was sentenced Feb. 4 to seven years after pleading guilty to man- slaughter in the 2011 death of Tyson Henry. Mr. Henry, 22, was stabbed in the neck after tensions boiled over at a Cana- da Day party in Pickering. Relatives and friends of both young men were present for Monday’s hearing. The sounds of weeping echoed through- out the Oshawa courtroom as Mr. Hen- ry’s loved ones read victim impact state- ments into the record. They described a vibrant, loving young man who was trying to calm inebriated combatants when he was struck down. “This was indeed a wicked act,” said Sommerville Henry, the young man’s grandfather. “I do not seek vengeance. But I do seek justice.” Tammetha Wilson, the slain man’s mother, sobbed as she remembered her only son and the “nightmare” of his vio- lent death. “He had a beautiful light in him,” Ms. Wilson said of the young man who would have turned 24 on Jan. 24. “I do not seek sympathy,” she said. “I just came to speak the truth.” Reading from an agreed statement of facts, prosecutor Lori Anne Turner said Mr. Marcoux and Mr. Henry had both been drinking heavily when they encoun- tered one another at a Canada Day party in Pickering. They wound up on oppos- ing sides as disputes between groups of young men erupted into fights, with a knife being drawn at one point, court heard. It was after the party had been shut down the two young men met up again, in the vicinity of Colmar Avenue and Parkham Crescent, court heard. Mr. Henry was try- ing to guide his group away from further disputes when Mr. Marcoux approached and plunged a knife into his neck. Mr. Henry was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Mr. Marcoux was charged with second-degree murder in August 2011. Mr. Marcoux, a drywaller, said he plead- ed guilty to manslaughter to accept responsibility for his actions. “Tyson didn’t deserve to die,” he said. “No matter what I do or say, I can never make any of this better. “God knows how much I wish I could.” Mr. Marcoux’s eyes were blackened Monday, the legacy of a beating his law- yer, Emily Lam, said he was subjected to after being taken into custody following his guilty plea Jan. 25. The attack was “ret- ribution” for his role in Mr. Henry’s death, Ms. Lam said. Ontario Court Justice Susan MacLean accepted a joint submission on sen- tence from the Crown and defence. She called the sentence -- seven years minus 10 months credit for pretrial custody -- appropriate. The judge warned against further vigi- lante justice. “This is a tragic day for everybody,” the judge said. “A life was taken in an instant.” PLENTY from page 1 ‘‘Tyson didn’t deserve to die.

UP TO Annual winter carnival celebrates winter greatness Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Claremont residents don’t shy away from the winter. In fact, the close-knit community cel- ebrates it every year at the Claremont Winter Carnival. The annual week-long, community- run festival is packed with events for kids and adults, from nature lovers to art enthusiasts to sports fans. “It’s these community events that get us all together,” said Grade 8 student McKenna Jackson. Fellow Grade 8 student Emma Timewell is rather new to Claremont, and embrac- es the great things to do in the small community. “It’s just so community-oriented and everyone’s so nice,” she said. The Claremont Community Centre was filled with various businesses and com- munity groups on Feb. 2, the final day of the carnival. A barbecue and bake sale were put on by parents and students looking to raise money for Claremont Public School’s Grade 8 graduation trip. “Today is the kids’ event,” said resident Joanne Carson. “Tonight is the Trapper’s Ball.” Earlier, residents geared up for the event-filled day with a pancake break- fast, followed by a mile run. Afterward, local businesses and groups floated down the street at the annual parade. A scavenger hunt, horse-drawn wagon rides, dog sledding, chainsaw art dem- onstrations, and a soup and chili contest were just some of the activities through- out the day. Pickering Fire Services gave tours of the adjacent fire hall and took the opportu- nity to talk to kids about fire safety. “Up here, you’re part of the commu- nity to them,” said fire prevention officer Steve Fowlds. “They come right up, no hesitation.” The list of events for the week-long car- nival gave residents plenty to do during the cold winter week. It kicked off on Jan. 27 with a family toboggan day, and the week’s activities included indoor soccer, volleyball, fam- ily skate nights, a movie night and dart and euchre tournaments.

At a council meeting on Jan. 28, resident Eileen Higdon asked council to withhold funding from the Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA) as part of upcoming budget deliberations. "I respectfully request the mayor and members of council to have better oversight on PESCA, bring- ing back accountability and transparency by putting conditions on the City's continued support of the organization," she said, noting the group received about $27,000 last year from an agreement with the City that gives them a share of rental fees from the East Shore Community Centre. PESCA vice-president Bill Evely said he's tired of hearing complaints about the organization. "We're getting some bad publicity we don't deserve," he said. "This organization is an icon in the community and we're not getting anything for nothing, we all work really hard." Ms. Higdon listed several concerns with PESCA's recent annual general meeting, which was held Dec. 17, 2012, including a lack of noti- fication for residents, no available agendas or information on pro- posed changes to the organization's constitu- tion that were approved at the meeting and a disorganized election of executive members that was conducted by a show of hands. "There is no accountability for the monies PESCA receives from the City," Ms. Higdon said. "I urge the City and the community of Bay Ridges to be vigilant, do not be complacent and allow this type of behaviour to prosper at our expense." Ms. Higdon's concerns are echoed by a group of residents who recently created a petition asking the City to invalidate the election results and request PESCA reschedule the meeting due to lack of notifi- cation. Executive members of PESCA who were present at the meeting disputed the complaints, noting that a full agenda and details of the constitutional changes Pickering ratepayers’ group disputes complaints were included on a notification flyer, but a glitch with Cana- da Post delayed delivery to many residents. "The flyer was the agenda," said Keith Falconer, PESCA president, noting Canada Post is providing a full refund for the mailing mistake. He agreed a show of hands wasn't the best way to con- duct an election, and said the executive would be looking to change that. "That's what's in the constitution as to how our elections should be conducted," he explained. "There used to be 10 or 15 people at a meeting so it was fine, but this last one there was nearly 200, so that's why it does need to change." In an effort to increase transparency the executive has made the organization's 2012 financial statement available online at www.pesca.ca. What is PEsCa? The Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA) is an organization representing the residents of the Bay Ridges neighbourhood, which extends south to Lake Ontar- io, west to Frenchman’s Bay, north to Hwy. 401 and east to Squires Beach Road. All citizens within the neighbourhood’s boundary auto- matically become members of the association, at no cost. Founded in 1977, their goals including promoting and enhancing the cultural, civic, social and recreational life of Pickering, particularly within the PESCA boundaries. They are funded by revenue collected from rentals of the East Shore Community Centre. > ‘‘We’re getting some bad publicity we don’t deserve.’ PESCA vice- president Bill Evely email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up their statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com Additional charges don’t serve justice in Durham Animals rule when it comes to time in court It’s been an interesting few weeks in the courtroom for our reporters. In the past week we have covered the acquittal of Tyler Perkins, who prevailed in his Charter challenge after being charged with possession of child pornography. Then we were in court when new charges were laid against a Pickering teen who had already pleaded guilty to robbery of a veterinary clinic last July while using a fake gun. The teen, the court has heard, needs psychiatric care and these additional charges will delay his care. Also in court last week was Darwin, the monkey now more famous than Tarzan’s Cheetah. The court ruled the celebrity mon key will stay at a sanctuary in Brock Township until a full trial can be held to clear up its ownership. More than a dozen Toronto media again swarmed into Oshawa as they hung on every word from the monkey’s owner, the sanctuary and the judge. But even more interesting to me, was our readers’ responses to each of these cases. Mr. Perkin’s acquittal generated a lot of talk on our Facebook page from those arguing he escaped justice to those defending his constitutional rights. I received one call from a woman who demanded to know why we didn’t run his acquittal on the front page of the paper after we had run the original story, when he was charged, on the front. There are a lot of reasons for that but the story ran near the front and was given a very large headline. She argued that wasn’t good enough and we agreed to disagree. Darwin’s time in court drew a 50/50 reaction. Animal lovers dived into our Facebook page to say the monkey should go back to its owner or should be kept by the sanctuary. They were ada- mant the issue should be resolved quickly. The other 50 per cent fell into my zone of care by asking why the issue was even wor- thy of media coverage. The monkey was found wondering around IKEA. I can see that making it newsworthy but it shouldn’t be get- ting all the ink it is getting now. Hopefully, we will soon hear the last of Darwin. The story on the teen, which I feel is the most important of the three, garnered no reaction from our readers. In this case, the Crown’s office should have been satisfied with the original guilty plea and allowed the family to get on with treatment for their son. So three court stories which again prove that animals rule, much to my chagrin. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is still not planning to get a dog after reading annual costs are about $1,100. The lawyer defending a teen living with a mental illness shot by police last year in the commission of a robbery at a Pickering animal hospital feels his client has been “sandbagged” by the Crown’s office. And who could blame him, or the family of the teen, who had already pleaded guilty to robbery and was awaiting sentencing when the Crown’s office determined addi- tional criminal charges were required? Durham residents may recall the inci- dent from last March. The teen was shot twice by police responding to the veteri- nary clinic after he pulled what appeared to be a gun when confronted. The teen pleaded guilty in October to robbery with an imitation firearm. Court heard that the youth, who has a history of mental health issues, was intent on committing suicide when he demanded ‘euthanasia’ drugs at the clinic. Last week, prosecutors said the decision to lay new charges came after the Crown was given access to police reports that had first been submitted to the Special Inves- tigations Unit, the agency charged with investigating police in cases where there is injury to civilians. The youth now faces additional charges of using an imitation firearm during the commission of an offence, and assault with a weapon. This is not a question of police act- ing inappropriately in the circumstance. Indeed, the SIU cleared the police officer who shot the teen in its investigation. Instead, it raises questions about the carriage of justice. A guilty plea in the case had already been accepted by the Crown and the teen was awaiting sentencing -- with a focus on psychiatric care instead of a prison term -- when the new charges were laid. To the Crown’s credit, the prosecutor in the case says the additional charges still won’t likely result in jail time for the teen. But the teen’s lawyer, Selwyn Pieters, is right to question the timing and impact of additional charges at this time, given the fact that he worked closely with the Crown throughout to guide the case to a mutually agreeable determination. Additional charges may satisfy the Crown, surely, but don’t seem to serve jus- tice in this case. The teen’s illness has been fully docu- mented and accepted by court officials and was to be concluded last week, allow- ing the teen to receive the treatment he requires. To surprise the family and defence coun- sel with new charges when the case was on the brink of resolution seems counter- productive and contrary. 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 • F e b r u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 3 6 AP Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising • Deb MacDonald - Senior Sales Supervisor Eddie Kolodziejcak - Classiﬁ ed Advertising Manager • Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Lillian Hook - Ofﬁ ce Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager OpinionsEditorial A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Readers weighed on an idea by Durham Regional Police to install red-light cameras at intersections with a high rate of collisions. Barb Steve: Red Light Camera’s will not help one bit. There is so much traffic congestion during rush hour & weekends that they need to find a solution to ease it. You can easily sit thru 3-4 red lights before you make it thru to the next interesection. Bill Caukwell: While it is a cash grab, that’s only one of the rea- son’s I oppose it. There is no defence that has been accepted, and how would you defend your- self anyway? You get the ticket in the mail, or should I say the vehicle owner gets the ticket. When you are pulled over by an officer, you imme- diately change your driving and use more caution. With the cameras, you don’t know you’ve been caught and you continue to drive dangerously. And when you get the ticket two weeks after the inci- dent, how are you to remember that you were being followed too closely and it wasn’t safe to stop, or any other of the dozens of legitimate rea- sons there are to cautiously proceed through an amber light. The cameras shoot on the amber, not the red. This is the most unfair way of ticketing that we have. Caroline McInnes: Yes they are a great idea! There’s one at Harmo- ny/King, once my husband acci- dentally ran it and by the time he was pulling into our driveway, which is less than 5 minutes from the intersection, 2 cop cars were behind him. Also a good way to catch drunk drivers. Michaela Helliwell: I always take a few seconds and look in both directions before proceeding, even after my light has turned green . I can’t count how many times I have waited those few seconds only to have a car run the red light. It has saved my life more than once. I wish everyone would take those few seconds and look before proceeding. Josee Caron: Crack down more on cell phone users while driving....those are the ones causing accidents. Spend the money on that. Deborah Linton: Good idea what ever it takes - a friend of mine was hit in a parking lot and the woman was just going to take off except my friend was in the car and got out and took a picture of her license plate and her standing by the car so pictures work.

Due to some apparently never-before-witnessed, bizarre atmospheric disturbance which resulted in a terrifying mix- ture of rain, freezing rain and a thing called ‘snow’ falling on our region’s roadways and its hapless, frightened motorists last Monday, my 70-kilometre commute into Toronto took me close to three hours. One hundred and eighty minutes. That computes to an average speed of less than 25 km/h. If I hadn’t stupidly discontinued my illegal steroid thera- py, I could’ve run to work faster than that. Coming back home in the wake of the cata- clysm was only slightly quicker. All told, I spent a third of my waking hours that day behind the wheel of my car. Fortunately when I purchased this vehicle I had the foresight to invest in Volkswagen’s new Canadian Winter Commuter package. It’s a mar- velous bit of German engineering that includes heated seats and mirrors, a Vitamin D replen- ishing UV lamp/vanity light and a luxuri- ous walnut grained Prozac dispenser built into the dash. Never was money spent more wisely. Needless to say, as I crawled along at roughly half the speed of a fully loaded Conestoga Wagon, popping Ambien like Cherry Pez, I had time and reason to ponder a few things. For starters, I began to believe that there really must be aliens living amongst us. How else to explain the evidence all around me? Cars, dozens of them, in the ditch. And not, I hasten to add, just slightly in the ditch, but 30 or 40 feet off the road. As though they had been driven at not just normal speeds posted for dry, perfect motoring weather, but well in excess of these. Surely only someone brand new to this planet would behave in such an unfathomable manner? As I drove past these abandoned wrecks I scanned the snow around them for any sign of discarded ray guns, space helmets or telltale blotch- es of green blood. But nothing. They probably beamed up out of pure humiliation. How many seasons of winter driving does it take anyone with a functioning frontal lobe to understand that under cer- tain temperatures and conditions of freezing precipita- tion, any vehicle will behave like a curling rock if oper- ated without commensurate attention to caution? How many times must the rest of us patiently suf- fer as, for want of something as simple as a set of snow tires, the dopes amongst us turn a little sleet and ice into automobile Armageddon? We live chillingly close to the 49th parallel, folks, it gets cold up here on a pretty regular and predictable basis. And you can bitch all you want about the cost of an extra set of tires just for winter, but even at $400 they’re still cheaper than a rebuilt vehicle and time off work. Of course, on the other side of the coin we have the literalists. Those uber- conscientious individuals who take it upon themselves to interpret the words ‘slow down’ as licence to retard the pace of highway traffic to a glacially conservative 20 or 30 km/h. Travelling behind these self- appointed arbiters of safety you run a greater risk of dying of old age than from a traffic mishap. Finally, the last time I checked none of us were on the Franklin Expedition or going to work with Roald Amundsen. Brav- ing the elements and putting our lives at risk is not on any of our job descriptions. So, the next time it’s nasty out, put your feet up and pour yourself a mug of tea. You’ll be happier and the rest of us will thank you for it. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. On selfish parkers: People who park in non-parking spots. Like the one in front of Wal-Mart before the pedestrian walking area. In case you didn’t know: The striped lines through the spot mean NO parking! Or people that sit in front of the store, blocking the lane where cars drive, “waiting” for someone. There is a whole damn parking lot - drop the person off and go find a spot! Yesterday I saw a lady pull into a handicap parking spot at the TD bank, no handicap sign in her vehicle. I noticed that she was leaving her young daughter in the carseat in the back. I get it, it’s a pain in the a@@ to lug your kids in and out of carseats - but all of us people with a conscience lugged our kids in and out. Why does someone feel they are so privileged as to be able to ignore the rules? Makes me see red! -- Connie Gauthier Harvey On cellphone users: My Numbr One...people on cell phones or playing with their GPS in cars.... friend of a friend got sideswiped by someone on the highway. Why? Because the GPS told the person that sideswiped them to turn left here! hello! traffic? cell phones, gps and texting have turned people into zombies..and no, I do not know how to text... -- Josee Caron A day-care complaint: People that use daycare spots for their children because they “need a break” and all they do is sit at home. But those who work cannot find daycare for their children because there are no spots open. -- Jeannie Brown 10. The Rolling Stones (Super Bowl XL) 9. Diana Ross (Super Bowl XXX) 8.

This is part one of a three-part series. As two boats packed with water filters arrived at the landing of Soup Khong, Laos, children started to trickle down a path. The filters, funded by donors from Northumberland, Durham, across Canada and the United States, will provide clean water in the small community where people suffer from illnesses caused by water-borne bacteria, said Steve Rutledge, founder of Adopt a Village in Laos. Within min- utes of the boats’ arriv- al, a bell is sounded in the commu- nity and the path is flood- ed with people. Young and old gathered to help carry the water filters to the kvillage. A child no more than two years old carries a wick- er stand, for the water filter, like a backpack. Wearing no shoes, he climbs the steep, dirt tract to the village. Women and men hoist the boxes and wicker stands on their shoulders -- carrying the nearly 70 filters for all the fami- lies in the hill tribe village. The village is only accessible by boat in the Muang Ngoi district of northern Laos. It is a region of stunning beauty with dramat- ic karst peaks towering on either side of the Nam Ou River. But like many regions in Laos, it suf- fered under what is known as the secret American war. The con- flict has had a lasting impact on Laos, which has the unenviable distinction of being the most heavily bombed country per capita in the world, accord- ing to the Laos Nation Unexploded Ordnance organization. More than two million tons of ord- nance were dropped on Laos between 1964 and 1973. Soup Khong is one of many vil- lages Adopt a Village in Laos has helped. To date the organization has provided 682 water filters over the past three years, said Mr. Rutledge. Donors pay $65 to pro- vide a water filter for a family. On Jan. 13, Mr. Rutledge, Mike Yap and Port Hope residents and Rotarians Hugh Parker and Linda Goldie returned to the village for the distribution of the water filters and a hygiene talk. Mr. Rutledge and Siph- an Phanthavong, assistant/ co-ordinator with Adopt a Village, gathered the vil- lagers outside the com- munity hall. Through the translation of Mr. Phan- thavong, Mr. Rutledge asks the villag- ers how many have had diar- rhea in the last six months; the village chief nods and said everyone has experienced the ill- ness. Although residents here can access medicine, it is expensive for people who have few resources, said Mr. Rutledge. “All their money goes to health care,” he said. The water filters are made in Laos and approved by the World Health Organi- zation. They effectively remove 99.9 per cent of the bacteria found in vil- lage water, which is often taken from nearby streams and rivers. Filtered water will be used for drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, washing dishes and washing vegetables. “It’s (the water filter) is going to give you longer lives. It is going to give happier lives,” Mr. Rutledge told a group of villagers gathered on Jan. 14 where more water fil- ters are delivered to Phonesa- van. In Nam Khan, the fourth village visited in four days, Dom Phom- alin said the people do get sick from the water. “People drink water from the river,” Mr. Phomalin said. In each village, Mr. Rutledge explains the importance of hygiene. Hill tribe communities often use the same water bucket and towel to wash their hands. Using a container of glitter to represent germs, Mr. Rutledge shows how easily an illness can spread through a com- munity. In addition to the water filters, toothbrushes, toothpaste and den- tal floss from Port Hope dentist Dr. Anna Tucka were distributed. Part two in the series looks at a school building in Laos.

But with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there’s no better time to work on your relationship and reconnect with your partner. Here are three tips on how to rediscover the fun now, and for the rest of the year: Learn something new together: It’s easy to get bored when life revolves around routine. Keep things interesting by picking up a new skill. Learn to speak French, learn to play a new sport or take a cooking class together. Sharing in the challenges of learning is a great way to bond and build communication skills. Play together: Take a cue from your kids and lighten the mood with some games. Challenge your partner to a game of cards or play video games together on a console like PlayStation 3. Video games aren’t just about competing – cooperative games are a great way to learn how to work together, or you can get creative by designing levels together in games such as the LittleBigPlanet. Go out on a date: Schedule time to go out together, without the kids. A date doesn’t have to break the bank, go for a coffee and take time to reminisce about how you met, about your first date, or about your wedding. If it’s not possible to get a sitter, consider meeting for a lunch date during the week. No matter what you choose to do, make sure you focus on each other, make an effort at least once a month, and don’t forget to avoid distractions like your cellphone.

PICKERING ~ 905.420.1777 ~ EVENING AND SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS www.pickeringsquaredental.com SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Pair of weekend losses extends Pickering Panthers slump to 11 games BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A quick glance of the results shows that not much has changed for the Pickering Panthers the last month. There is some evaluating going on, but the objective is still to win games, said GM/head coach Mike Galati. Unfortu- nately for the Panthers, they just aren’t coming out on the winning side any- more. A pair of weekend losses of 5-3 to Cobourg and 12-0 to Trenton extend- ed the Ontario Junior Hockey League club’s current losing streak to 11 in a row. The team hasn’t tasted victory since Jan. 4 when it doubled Stouffville 4-2. Even with the ugly stretch, and just seven games remaining in the regular season, Galati said the morale of his team is surprisingly upbeat. “Believe it or not, it’s not that bad,” he said. “I think they realize that we’re a lot younger since the (trade) dead- line and even since a couple of weeks before that after losing some guys. “They work hard and give their best.” Sunday’s game at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex was a mismatch, as the top team in the conference, Trenton, laid a beat down on the Panthers. Tren- ton scored four times in the first period, six times in the second and added a pair in the third while outshooting the Pan- thers by a whopping 51-12. J.P. Cesa- rio started in goal and faced 21 shots in just over 23 minutes, while Conor Bar- rie came on in relief, peppered with 30 shots in just over 36 minutes. Friday’s home game against Cobourg was a little closer, with the Panthers actually leading into the third period. “Friday night we had a pretty good game against Cobourg,” said Galati. “We were up 2-1 in the third and got into a little penalty trouble and they came back and won it.” Andre McCann and Nicholas Lepone sandwiched goals around a Cobourg marker in the second period. But Cobourg scored three times in a row to open the third period, all on the power play, for a 4-2 lead. McCann’s second of the night cut the lead to one, but Cobourg put it away with an empty-net goal with 1:31 left in the game. In the bad to worse department, the Panthers could be without as many as three forwards for the remainder of the season, all three with shoulder injuries. Alex Clements is definitely out for the season, while Sean Levac and Jeff Heard could return in a couple of weeks, but by then the season will just about have reached its Feb. 23 completion date, making their return pointless. Still, with the losing streak mounting and injuries forcing a number of cal- lups to be used, the objective is to win, said Galati. “You always want to win as many games as you can,” he said. “Everyone is getting a chance to play. Guys who weren’t playing much in November are playing a lot now. “It’s a little frustrating. In November we were in a pretty good spot, but hey, that’s the way it goes.” Thursday the Panthers are in Stouffville, and Friday host Whitby at 7:30 p.m. >Double digits losing streak SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Tanner Bull chased after the puck during OJHL action against the Cobourg Cougars at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. The Panthers lost both weekend games, and have now dropped 11 in a row. Hockey Watch BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- After posting two shutouts on a western road swing, the Durham West Jr. Lightning were given a little taste of their own medicine in the weekend finale. Still, the trip through the London and Windsor area was just what the doctor ordered, as the team won two of three, moving the Lightning into second place in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. “Yeah, I would have to say it was (a suc- cess),” said head coach Wayne McDonald. “Probably from an offensive standpoint, even though we didn’t score, we proba- bly had our most chances in the last game. We could have won that game. We hit goal posts, had breakaways, we had all sorts of stuff and it didn’t happen. That happens.” The trip to London on Friday night start- ed a little slow as a major accident around Woodstock delayed the Lightning’s arrival. But once there, they were very efficient, using a second-period goal by Laura Hor- wood and 21 saves by Kassidy Sauve in a 1-0 victory. Sauve was flawless again the follow- ing day against Southwest, turning aside 16 shots for her second straight shutout and fourth on the season, and the offence kicked it into high gear, winning 8-0 over the last place Wildcats. Three players, Ken- nedy Marchment, Laura Horwood and Carly Marchment, had two goals each, with singles added by Stephanie Coo- per and Lindsay Johnston. Dakota Waites also had a big afternoon, contributing five assists. The final game of the three-in-three weekend produced another shutout, but this time it was the Lightning who were blanked, falling 3-0 to Bluewater on Sun- day morning. The Lightning held a slight 26-25 edge in the shots department, but Bluewater scored once in each period, the third goal into an empty net with eight sec- onds left in the game. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak the Lightning had been riding. With just six games remaining before playoffs, McDonald is looking for a couple of things from his team down the stretch. “Consistency,” he said of what tops the list, adding, “We want to get everyone back as well. People are starting to come back healthy. Everyone is pretty well back now.” The Lightning (24-6-1-1) continue a stretch of nine games in a row away from the Ajax Community Centre when they visit Etobicoke on Sunday afternoon. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP Durham West Jr. Lightning move into second place 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 • Fe b r u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 3 22 AP If there is a baby on the way,then you’ll want to attend this!

The wait finally ended this past weekend, and the results were encouraging to say the least. With Lessio five games into his return from tendon sur- gery, Scott Laughton back in the fold after a five-game NHL stint with the Philadel- phia Flyers, and all other key personnel back on the ice, the Generals blanked the Mississauga Steelheads 2-0 on the road Friday and blew out the Belleville Bulls 8-2 at home Sunday. What that means, practi- cally, is the Generals (29- 18-1-3) are now back in the hunt for the Ontario Hockey League’s East Division title, just two points back of the Bulls (29-14-3-3). What it means, psycholog- ically, could be even more important. “We’ve got a situation where two, three guys are going to have to go in the crowd every night,” said coach DJ Smith, who finally has the luxury of such choic- es. “It’s not a fun part about coaching, but at the same point, it gives me some flexi- bility as to who we play and it kind of pushes some guys in the bottom six to play hard- er.” It certainly had that effect on Sunday afternoon, when the Generals treated 5,288 fans at the Generals Motors Centre to their most domi- nant performance of the sea- son. After falling behind on a Brady Austin goal that actu- ally deflected in off defence- man Josh Brown’s stick, the Generals scored the next eight to dismantle a red- hot Belleville team that had scored eight of its own in each of the previous two games. In the process, they drove the Bulls’ star goal, Malcolm Subban, out of the net for the first time this OHL season, sending him to the sidelines 34:52 into the game after he allowed fours goal on 27 shots. “They’re a very good team, the hottest team in the OHL right now for sure, so it’s a big win for our team and hope- fully we can use that as some motivation for the rest of the 17 games we have left here,” said Lessio, who led the way with two goals and an assist. “I thought we played really well, all 20 of us on the team played well,” Lessio contin- ued. “Our goalie was out- standing, and Malcolm was a really hot goalie for them and I thought we got in front of him and made it pretty hard for him to see pucks. We put some pucks on net, got some rebounds and went from there.” Smith agreed that the win was the result of a complete team effort, something he expects to see from here on in. The Generals have their first three-in-three week- end coming up since mid- November. They host Erie (15-29-3-5) Friday, travel to Niagara (25-23-2-2) Satur- day and return home to face Sault Ste. Marie (28-19-2-2) Sunday. > Jason LieBregts / MetroLand OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals forward Lucas Lessio returned to the lineup after miss- ing three months with tendon surgery in his hand. He scored twice in an 8-2 win over the Belleville Bulls on Sunday afternoon. Durham Gymnastics Academy strong at provincial qualifier Athletes working towards provincials ETOBICOKE -- Boys from the Durham Gymnastics Academy attended their first provincial qualifier meet of the 2013 season. The event was hosted by the Toronto Gymnastics International Club in Eto- bicoke and attracted over 300 of the best male gym- nasts in Ontario. Daniel Newth and Neil Maatta, both from Ajax, and Nicholas Novak of Pickering, competed in the Level 3, 13yrs+ category. Newth placed first overall and won the gold medal on floor exercise and silver medals on pommel horse and parallel bars. Maatta won the bronze medal on parallel bars and placed sixth overall. Novak also performed well and fin- ished 11th overall. Ethan Cuenca of Brook- lin and Aidan Hartley, of Ajax, represented the club in the Level 1, 10-12yrs cat- egory. Cuenca won silver medals on pommel horse and vault, a bronze medal on parallel bars and fin- ished third overall. Hart- ley finished eighth overall and won gold medals on rings and vault as well as a bronze medal on high- bar. After these strong per- formances, the boys are well on their way towards qualifying for the provin- cial championships which will take place on April 5 in Windsor. > 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 • Fe b r u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 3 23 AP T R U C K I N G C A R E E R E X P O SPOTS ARE LIMITED.

Keep in mind that retirement may last longer than you think.According to Statistics Canada,half of all retirees can expect to live longer than 84,And there’s a 40-per-cent chance one spouse in a couple will reach the age of 90. Plus, you have to remember that inflation will cause your expenses to rise over time. Market performance is another major factor. If you build in expectations thataretoohigh,itcouldcauseyoutowithdrawmorethanyoushould.As we saw in 2008,it’s essential to appreciate that the market can have both dramatically up and dramatically down years.So keep in mind that market declines in the first few years after you retire could potentially have a much bigger impact than if they occurred 15 years after you retired. Speak with you financial advisor to discuss withdrawal amounts that may work best for you.

Ice that forms as a result invites risks both inside and outside your home. There are a couple simple things you can do to prevent significant headaches; if you go away for longer than 24 hours, turn off your water at the main coming into your house so that you don’t return to a basement full of water caused by a burst pipe. Outside your home, shovel snow away from your driveway and all walkways and throw down lots of salt. Slips and falls remain one of the most common causes of expensive lawsuits.

Most businesses that have been around a long time have probably survived because they advertised.Yo u need to advertise to gain top- of-mind-awareness. Most business sectors are very competitive and if your customers aren’t hearing about what you have to offer, they probably are hearing it from someone else. People shop from people they know. If you plan on being in business 52 weeks of the year, you should plan to advertise 52 weeks of the year. If you’d like to discuss effective advertising strategies call or email me today.
