Report
releases
results for
schools across
Ontario
Parvaneh Pessian

DURHAM -- When it comes to
measuring the success of students,
Durham’s public and Catholic
school boards see the rankings by
the Fraser Institute as one small
piece of the puzzle.
“While we recognize that some
parents may be interested in infor-
mation provided by the Fraser
Institute, it is important to under-
stand that our Catholic schools are
complex communities of learn-
ing that provide our students with
far more than can be summarized
by a single score or rank,” said
Durham Catholic District School
Board superintendent Tracy Barill
in a statement.
A total of 167 elementary schools
across Ontario showed signifi-
cant improvement in their aca-
demic performance over the past
five years, according to the Fraser
Institute’s annual school rankings.
Of these improving elementary
schools, 64 are in the GTA, 44 in
southwestern Ontario, 36 in north
central Ontario, and 23 in eastern
Ontario.
“Our report shows that all
schools are capable of improve-
ment, regardless of the personal
or family challenges their students
might face,” says Peter Cowley,
Fraser Institute director of school
performance studies.
“If educators want to help
students learn and improve,
they should be talking to these
schools.”
Ms. Barill said the Catholic board
embraces the opportunity to use
detailed provincial testing results
to identify areas where improve-
ment is needed, and is proud of
the successes of schools, “howev-
er the board does not advocate for
the use of those results as a way to
compare one school to another.”
The highest-ranked school in
Durham was Valley View school in
Greenwood with a rating of 9.6 out
of 10, and a rank of 31 in the prov-
ince, and the lowest was Gertrude
Colpus, in Oshawa, with .7 and a
provincial rank of 2,699. Last year,
the highest-rated school in Dur-
ham was Colonel J.E. Farewell in
Whitby (8.6) while Gertrude Col-
pus (.7), Village Union in Oshawa
(.8) and Glen Street in Oshawa (.9)
ranked near the bottom.
“We’re pleased that our schools
are making gains,” said Durham
District School Board superin-
tendent Luigia Ayotte. “But happy
would be that everyone is at the
top.”
She said the Fraser rankings
are just one of the data the board
uses to improve student success,
along with other measures such as
report cards and provincial testing
results.
“We want all of our students to
be successful and we have to con-
tinue to stay the course,” she said.
“We have to address issues as they
arise and provide support at the
school level.”
She said the board has already
started doing some preliminary
work with the results, gauging the
areas in which certain schools
need to make improvements.
The Report Card for the 2011-
12 year rates 2,714 public, Cath-
olic and francophone elemen-
tary schools based on nine aca-
demic indicators using data from
the annual province-wide tests of
reading, writing and math admin-
istered by the Ontario govern-
ment’s Education Quality and
Accountability Office.
“By pinpointing the subject
areas in which individual schools
are improving or declining and
how their academic performance
compares to that of other Ontar-
io schools over the past five years,
our report helps parents and edu-
cators prioritize learning challeng-
es in their schools,” says Mr. Cow-
ley.
The report card also includes
important information about each
school’s makeup, including par-
ents’ average income, the percent-
age of ESL students, and the per-
centage of special needs students.
Complete results for all 2,714
elementary schools are available
at www.compareschoolrankings.
org where visitors can compare
schools on their results over the
last five years.

The audit, which was completed in May
2012, found the councillor in contravention of
Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act for exceed-
ing the campaign spending limit and called
into question a purchase of nearly $15,000 in
alcohol that was not used during the election
campaign.
At a meeting in June the committee voted
to proceed with legal action against Coun.
Dickerson in the wake of the audit, and sub-
sequently requested a report from Mr. Reiter,
of Aird and Berlis LLP, with recommenda-
tions on how to proceed.
“Our office has concluded our review
and found that there were reasonable and
probable grounds to believe offences have
been committed, and we are taking steps
to advance it,” Mr. Reiter said, speaking on
behalf of the committee. “Our intention is to
begin the process of laying charges.”
Coun. Dickerson called it a “travesty of jus-
tice” that he had not received any official noti-
fication of the committee’s decision when he
spoke to the News Advertiser on the morning
of Feb. 21.
“I’m not surprised,” he said of the decision,
noting he was disappointed the committee
hadn’t accepted an earlier offer made by his
lawyer that would have seen him pay a fine
of about $13,000 without prejudice to settle
the matter. The penalty was reflective of the
amount the compliance audit found Coun.
Dickerson to have exceeded the election
spending limit.
“The question that comes up for me is
why they didn’t discuss with us the offer we
made to them to offset the insaneness of
these costs,” Coun. Dickerson explained, not-
ing he’s already spent more than $50,000 to
defend himself against the allegations, and
estimates the City to have spent more during
the legal process.
“It’s a theatre of the absurd,” he said, point-
ing to flaws in the Municipal Act, which he
says he misinterpreted.
“This is an insane process brought on by a
Province that doesn’t take the responsibility
of reviewing their own act,” he said.
“What they should be doing is calling in
people to say what is wrong with this act
and how do we improve it. The CAC turned
a blind eye to that and one day I will be
demanding to know why that is.”
Although Mr. Reiter couldn’t speak to the
specific charges that would be laid, he said
they would be “moving forward as promptly
as we can,” with the process of laying charges,
and that there were numerous potential pen-
alties Coun. Dickerson could face should the
charges be accepted and Coun. Dickerson
found guilty.
“There is a whole range of potential sen-
tences or penalties that can be imposed
under the Municipal Act, that would be up to
a judge,” he explained.
Penalites under the Municipal Elections
Act include fines and removal from office.

PICKERING -- Police have issued an
appeal for information as they investigate
the whereabouts of a Pickering man who’s
been missing since
last week.
Stephen Jeanes, 45,
of Erin Gate Boule-
vard, was reported
missing Feb. 21. Dur-
ham police said he
was last seen at his
home that morning
and missed a dental
appointment later in
the day.
The disappearance is out of character
and Mr. Jeanes’s family fears for his safety,
police said. Investigators say he may have
been in the Kapuskasing area.
He’s white, five feet 10 and 165 pounds
with hazel eyes, a light complexion and
thin blonde hair.
Anyone with information is asked to call
police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2529 or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OSHAWA -- The lawyer representing a
Pickering youth shot last summer by police
has filed a motion to rescind the teen’s guilty
plea, citing “abuse of process” by the Crown.
Selwyn Pieters, who filed the motion at the
Oshawa courthouse Monday, said he’s also
seeking a stay of proceedings against the
teen. A hearing before a youth court judge is
scheduled for April 16.
“We are seeking to have the guilty plea
struck,” said Mr. Pieters, who has repre-
sented the youth since he was shot twice by
police responding to an armed robbery at
a Pickering veterinary clinic last July. “We
are seeking a stay of proceedings because of
abuse of process,” Mr. Pieters added.
The motion comes in response to a deci-
sion by the Durham Crown attorney’s office
to lay two new charges against the teen, in
spite of the fact he pleaded guilty to robbery
and was to be sentenced last month.
The young man, who has a history of men-
tal health issues, is not likely to face jail time.
The Crown and defence had been work-
ing toward a resolution that would see him
receiving treatment.
Prosecutor Dave Slessor explained at the
time of the laying of new charges that the
Crown’s office had obtained additional infor-
mation in the wake of a Special Investigations
Unit review of the incident.
Although the new charges -- using an imi-
tation firearm during the commission of
an offence and assault with a weapon -- are
being pursued, it’s not likely the agreement
struck on sentencing will be affected, Mr.
Slessor said.
That’s insufficient for Mr. Pieters, who said
the youth and his family felt “sandbagged” by
the Crown’s actions. His motion alleges his
client, whose identity is protected under the
Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been subject-
ed to a breach of his Charter rights.
The teen, who turns 18 in March, was shot
after using an imitation pistol to rob a Kings-
ton Road veterinary clinic early on the morn-
ing of July 16. The Special Investigations Unit,
which reviews police incidents that lead to
death or injury, cleared a Durham cop of any
wrongdoing in the shooting. When the officer
drew his gun and ordered the suspect to stop,
the youth pulled what appeared to be a gun
out of his pocket and pointed it at the officer,
the SIU found.
The teen pleaded guilty last October to rob-
bery with an imitation firearm. Mr. Pieters
told Ontario Court Justice Mary Teresa Dev-
lin then that the youth was intent on commit-
ting suicide when he demanded “euthanasia”
drugs (he was given vials of antibiotics).
Sentencing was postponed as the youth
underwent psychological testing. At the time
Justice Devlin told the youth and his family
the plea wasn’t likely to result in a jail sen-
tence.

Union vote means
public teachers can
volunteer if they choose
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Despite a Friday announcement that
had students and parents gearing up for extracur-
ricular activities returning to Ontario high schools,
sports and clubs won’t necessarily be running as
usual in the near future.
On Feb. 22, the Provincial Council of the Ontar-
io Secondary School Teachers Federation voted to
suspend the cancellation of extracurricular activi-
ties as a political action.
“It’s teachers’ individual choice, and certainly
some members will go back and volunteer their
time, some members will not, I think, and certain-
ly there are going to be many members who are
going to want to see something tangible from the
government,” said Janie Kelly, OSSTF District 14
(Kawartha) local president.
Public teachers were told to stop participat-
ing in extracurricular activities in December to
oppose Bill 115, controversial legislation that
imposed new contracts on them and made it ille-
gal to strike.
“I think there’s a great expectation for everything
to roll out right at once, but it’s not going to be the
case because of individual decisions and the real-
ity of getting some of these things up and off the
ground,” said Dave Barrowclough, OSSTF District
13 (Durham) local president.
Starting up hockey, for example, requires time
for money collection, scheduling ice time, practic-
es and coordinating with other teams.
“What people have to understand is it is not a
switch you can turn on and off,” said Mr. Barrow-
clough.
He added OSSTF only chose to cancel extracur-
riculars because members were “forced into a cor-
ner” since the right to strike or protest was taken
away.
Ms. Kelly said a number of teachers had already
committed themselves to volunteering with orga-
nizations outside of school while extracurriculars
were cancelled, and they may continue with those
commitments instead.
Mr. Barrowclough said many have expressed
frustration, being told to give up on their sanc-
tions, but not knowing why.
“So they’re sort of left in the dark,” he said.
While hopeful that the change of heart indicates
positive talks between union leaders and the Prov-
ince, Ms. Kelly said many teachers will want more
information before choosing to participate in
extracurricular activities again.
“Certainly there’s a suggestion that hopefully
things will move fairly quickly so that our mem-
bers will have some tangible results and therefore
will be able to make a personal choice,” she said.
Mr. Barrowclough noted that the students’ edu-
cation has never been put at risk through the
labour strife.
“I think these kids are not going to be at any dis-
advantage in their lives and careers moving for-
ward,” he said.
In fact, after all of this, Mr. Barrowclough believes
more students may come out to vote in future elec-
tions.

Vile comments removed from our website
If it bleeds it leads.
That axiom was true with newspapers throughout the century
and, to some extent, is still relevant today.
Our statistics regularly show that crime stories are some of the
most popular reads in our newspapers and online at durhamre-
gion.com.
The smallest story, simply a rewrite from a press release, can
grab our readers’ attention.
For much of Friday and this past weekend, one of the most-read
stories on our website was a brief about a teenager who died at
the Bowmanville Public Library. That type of news hits home with
everyone in our community and I wasn’t surprised it caught many
eyes.
But one trend in our crime stories
lately has me seeing red and ques-
tioning the ignorance of some people
who live in Durham.
Many of our crime stories involving
robberies include a description of the
suspects when provided by police. White,
black, Asian, it doesn’t matter.
If that description helps with an arrest, we
are glad to help.
But lately, when the suspect was black, it brought
out the most vile, repulsive and offensive comments we have ever
had on our website.
In fact, it has now reached the point that we are turning off com-
menting on crime stories when they appear on our website.
Some newspapers have staff members whose only job is to read
through all the comments posted to a website to make sure they
are appropriate, before they go live.
We don’t. When we write something for the web, you get to com-
ment immediately. It’s both one of the great things about the web
and the worst.
When we get complaints about a comment, we go in to review
them and if warranted, remove them. In the past, we have
removed commenting privileges from certain readers who con-
tinue to malign others, but that only keeps them off for a while
until they get a new e-mail address and start their flow of hateful
thoughts again.
We have tried removing the comments and asking the com-
menters to refrain from the horrible thoughts, but they didn’t. The
hateful comments continued to spew onto our website and that
we will not permit.
So for now, commenting on most crime stories will be turned
off.
Managing editor Mike Johnston continues
to be astounded by the complete ignorance of some people.
Durham residents have likely heard the
stories of c. difficile outbreaks in Ontario
hospitals in recent years, prompting mas-
sive disinfectant campaigns and causing
patient recovery setbacks.
Such outbreaks of antibiotic-resistant
bugs are among the new challenges being
faced by Ontario hospitals, but not so
much for Lakeridge Health.
Provincial Health Minister Deb Matthews
paid a visit to the Oshawa site last week to
acknowledge the hospital system’s efforts
at reducing antibiotic use at the hospital
and for its success in reducing infection
rates.
It’s the culmination of an ongoing pro-
gram started by Lakeridge Health officials
in November 2011. The program, with the
slogan ‘Excellence Every Moment, Every
Day’, has resulted in a 30-per cent reduc-
tion in antibiotic use, which amounted
to a sizable 42-per cent reduction in drug
costs.
Furthermore, the program has resulted
in a drastically reduced rate of c. difficile
infections among patients. The average
Ontario infection rate is currently .34 per
1,000 patient days, while at Lakeridge it’s
been calculated at .06, or about one-fifth
the provincial average. That, the health
minister noted, is an extraordinary reduc-
tion rate of 90 per cent since Lakeridge
undertook the reduction campaign.
Not only does the program show that
hospital infections can be effectively man-
aged with an organized effort and strong
leadership, it shows what can be accom-
plished when a committed team of profes-
sionals works for a common purpose.
Every staff member whose duties took
them in contact with patients through-
out their shifts bought into the ‘Excellence
Every Moment, Every Day’ program. Their
individual efforts contributed to the team’s
achievement.
And the results are clearly measurable.
To continue to inspire these efforts at Lak-
eridge Health hospital sites, we encour-
age ongoing updates to illustrate to staff
and patients how well the effort is faring.
We encourage patients to speak freely with
their hospital caregivers to learn how they
too can minimize the incidence of oppor-
tunistic infections.
Lakeridge can certainly celebrate this
achievement, and staff deserve the recog-
nition. But it is an achievement that can be
topped, a program that can be improved,
always with a view to the best outcomes for
patients.
Perhaps that can be best ensured by
opening a new chapter in the program:
‘Excellence Every Moment, Every Day and
Every Tomorrow’.
Lakeridge Health system
deserves latest kudos

Opinions
I made Cream of Wheat this past Monday morning. I haven’t
done that in a long, long time. In fact, the box was actually dusty.
I searched in vain for a ‘best before’ date, but I think Cream of
Wheat falls into the same category as Kraft Dinner, Cheez Whiz
and Klik...foods that were designed to feed starving
apocalypse survivors for decades. The stuff never goes
bad.
At any rate, the mercury had plunged into some
obscenely negative double digits and I just
couldn’t get warm. The whole house seemed
to be shivering. I think my home must be male
because I’m pretty sure certain exposed parts of it
were shrinking.
Even the dog wouldn’t go outside. He finished his
breakfast and, as usual, stood nose to the door, let-
ting me know he needed to go out and do his
business. I opened said door and the two
of us received one of those Arctic blasts
that makes your nose hair spike like
you’d just inhaled sand paper. He
took a tentative step towards the
sill and then recoiled in horror
as though he’d just been doused
with some unpleasant liquid.
Knowing he hadn’t peed since
the night before I tried to cajole
him into getting it over with.
When he still wouldn’t budge
I attempted to trick him.
“Look, Owen! A cat! Get the
kitty! Get him!”
His ears perked ever so brief-
ly at the sound of both the hated
C and K words, but he was not
deceived. He knew his enemy well and
understood that not even a cat was stu-
pid enough to go out in this weather. He
turned and sauntered back towards the
comfort of his fireside blanket, paus-
ing long enough to shoot me a look that
said, “Let’s see you stand out there naked and pee...then we’ll
talk.”
He had a point.
It was Family Day, I remembered. Feeling suddenly in touch
with my inner Ward Cleaver, I thought what better way to
warm my belly and welcome my sleepy teenage son to
the day than by making a steaming pot of rib-sticking,
wholesome Cream of Wheat? It occurred to me that
he’d never ever had the stuff. I was virtually raised
on it. Feeding a family of eight, my mother was
always on the lookout for food that was cheap
and filling. Cream of Wheat fit the bill on all counts.
It’s sort of like edible cement. Even so, I don’t know of
anyone who has a real aversion to it. I think that’s large-
ly because it essentially has no definitive taste. Cream
of Wheat, like its cousin oatmeal, is really just
a vehicle for cream and brown sugar. And
back in the day, before we understood
what diabetes and tooth decay were, we
forked the stuff on with a backhoe. And
more importantly, we ate it together,
as a family. I remember that. At the
time, as a kid, it simply was what it
was and I knew no different. Now,
looking back, I realize how lucky I
was.
So, I was not so secretly
thrilled to be able to share the same
kind of thing with my son that Fam-
ily Day morning. He was, to his cred-
it, remarkably tolerant of my reminiscent
exuberance. We were hardly a table of eight,
but still, we belonged to each other, happi-
ly loading up huge bowls of sticky, creamy
mucilage. It was -20 C outside, but inside we
filled our bellies with hot, sweet, no-expiry-
date goodness. Family, after all.

saves some of his best lines for this column. du

Poll >
A small-town high school
closes, local hearts break...
Readers weighed on discussions regarding the
announced closure of Cartwright High School in
north Durham, the region’s smallest...
Maria Carvalho McDougall: Killer
of a small town...just ask Arthur
Ontario.
Sheri Nicole Zeidman: Can’t
believe it’s closing! My grandma
Marilyn Bailey was a caretaker
there and the public school for 43
years. Those schools were her
pride and joy. I bet she’s up above shaking her
head at the thought of it closing....
Mary Anne-Phil Harris: What a
shame. Durham school trustees
never did understand how great
that school has been.
Carmen Bone Watson: My father
in law went to this school in Black-
stock and my baby sister teaches
in it! Sorry to hear that the Durham
District School Board has deemed
it worthless! A precious gem in the Durham rural
community is lost!
Carl Freeman: The axe swings
again!
Liz Burton: Everything is being
ruined. It’s tragic.
Donna Robinson: This is so sad
to hear, such a unique school
with great memories!
Kiley Rundle: Sad to hear this.
Cartwright HS and the faculty
are so great and this will be a
huge loss for our town.
Heather Vanderlip: My elemen-
tary school is a tractor dealership
now, if that helps.

On Moving On:
Moving away from Durham Region
and it’s dysfunctional politicians and paying about 60 per cent less in property taxes than in Durham made me VERY happy. In Durham..I had drunks and crackheads around my home. Now...I have a beautiful view of
deer, wild turkeys, foxes , wolves and other wildlife around my home instead of graffiti , gang tags, and garbage.
-- Kim Young
On Favourite Teachers:
Two Rave teachers, Mrs. Sharpe and Mr. Burs, they are
making positive changes in my daughter Tanya! Thank you!
-- Margaret Lintott
On Bullying Prevention:
Sacha Visagie is an amazing lady with her tireless effort to fight bullying among our school children by visiting them and playing her songs to get
the message out ! Thank you Sacha ! You’re an angel !!.

A Message from Fire Services
Pickering Fire Services warns local businesses of fire extinguisher scams.
As part of the scam, a person enters the business and offers to inspect the
business’s fire extinguishers for a nominal fee in cash, and insists that the fire
department referredthem.The companythen attachesaninspectiontag to the
fire extinguishers –without actually performing an inspection. A handwritten
receiptisleftwiththebusiness owner.During routine fire inspections conducted
by Pickering Fire Services –Fire Prevention Section, it was noted that several
different businesses throughout the City had tagged fire extinguishers that
were not certifiable.As a result of the scam, the business owners in turn had
to then pay a reputable company to perform an actual inspection to meet the
requirements of the Ontario Fire Code.All fire extinguishers in a business must
beinspectedandtagged yearly by a certified company.

Jill St. John
GueSt columnJake is 11 years old and goes
to Dr. S.J. Phillips Public
School and with the help
of his principal, Mrs. Scott,
and an organization called
Their Opportunity, he has turned
his once-small mission into a huge
goal.
Since age five, Jake has played
hockey in the Oshawa Church
League. He loves hockey and want-
ed everyone on the street to play
and couldn’t figure out why they
couldn’t. We explained it is expen-
sive and not all can afford to pay for
leagues.
This was not good enough for
Jake. He said, ‘Well we can pay,
can’t we?’ And off he went.
He started saving dimes and we
set a goal for his first friend. It took a
whole year to save the $450 needed
and he told all his customers on his
paper route he was saving dimes
and they helped. He told everyone
on his birthday he wanted dimes
and that is what everyone got him
and soon he had enough to pay
for two kids. He called it Dimes for
iTime and pays for kids to play any
sport as Jake also plays lacrosse,
karate and swimming.
It started to grow and we were
getting requests for help through
other kids. That is when we met
Randy Gill from Their Opportunity
and he liked what Jake was doing
and said he wanted to help too. We
loved what Randy was doing with
Their Opportunity. He and Jake
got together and spoke to Jake’s
principal and got his whole school
involved; other schools followed.
Their Opportunity helps kids play
sports who can’t afford to but they
also have a unique pay-it-forward
clause. So the kids who received
help got to help Jake as their way to
pay it forward.
Rob Pearson from the Toronto
Maple Leafs has been helping Jake
for four years to raise awareness
and attends events and plays floor
hockey with the kids. This year the
Oshawa Power basketball team
came too. It is so much fun for all
involved.
Jake raised more than $6,000 last
year and this year’s total is at $4,000
and climbing. Jake loves how every-
one has come together and loves
knowing he has helped so many
kids.
Check out this YouTube video
for a glimpse into Dimes 4 Time:
http://youtu.be/UmyIB83FscU
A dime makes it affordable for
every kid to help and they see
that when them come together,
even a little can help a lot.
-- Jill St. John is Jake’s mom and has
supported his efforts from the start.

OSHAWA -- Dr S. J. Phillips Public School student Jake Moores along with some of his classmates participated in the Dimes for Time event
held at Durham College. Ten elementary schools in Durham competed to raise the most change which would be donated to those less
fortunate. Jake initiated the event with the help of an organization called Their Opportunity.
Dimes add up to big change

Local boy
initiates annual
fundraiser to
let local kids
play sports
KRiSten caliS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Fundraising is
nothing new to Dr. S.J. Phil-
lips Public School student Jake
Morres.
“Since he was a young child,
he’s picked a charity,” said his
mother, Jill St. John.
After years of collecting for
local food banks and animal
charities by asking for dona-
tions instead of presents for his
birthday, at age eight Jake chose
to focus on local kids when he
saw some of them couldn’t
afford to play sports.
“He was saving dimes from
his paper route money and sent
a kid in the neighbourhood to
play hockey,” said his mother.
This certainly wasn’t the last
time Jake would help a kid play
sports.
“I just started to do that every
year from then on,” said Jake.
Now 11, the Grade 6 student is
pleased to see his efforts playing
out on a larger scale for the sec-
ond straight year at the annual
Dimes 4 Time event.
“We were able to enable his
dream of helping kids play
sports,” said Randy Gill, presi-
dent of Their Opportunity.
When members of the orga-
nization, which sponsors local
kids to play sports, heard of
Jake’s initiative, they found it
the perfect fit to create a new
event.
Now each year, students in
Whitby and Oshawa schools
are charged to collect change in
January and February in order
to help less fortunate kids sign
up for sports in the Dimes 4
Time fundraising campaign.
“They’re bringing in change to
make change,” said Mr. Gill.
Local businesses have also
jumped on board, agreeing to
match the money raised by the
kids.
The top fundraising schools
were invited to a special event
on Feb. 22 where they played a
floor hockey game with some
NHL alumni and were given
the opportunity to shoot some
hoops against the Oshawa
Power in the gym shared by the
University of Ontario Institute
of Technology and Durham Col-
lege.
“It’s been a dream come true
to me,” Jake said on a break
from playing floor hockey.
Mr. Gill noted the event was
especially fun for the kids since
extracurricular activities have
been cancelled as part of a
labour dispute.
Former Toronto Maple Leafs
right winger Rob Pearson par-
ticipated in the event for the
second year.
“It’s a great event,” said the
Oshawa native.
He actually met Jake a few
years ago when the boy’s moth-
er approached him, request-
ing his attendance at her son’s
birthday party.
When he learned of Jake’s goal
to help local kids play sports “I
said, ‘That’s great, I’ll be there.’”
He’s been happy to help out,
along with fellow former Leaf
Brad May.
“Now it’s just snowballed,” Mr.
Pearson said.
He said it’s fantastic that Jake
continues to run the program.
“It’s one thing doing it once
and getting recognized,” he
said.
Mr. Pearson believes sports
and the value of teamwork are
important parts of a childhood.
Jake said sports allow him to
make friends and have fun, and
he’s happy to help others do the
same.
“It’s been amazing,” he said.
“I’m just hoping I can make as
much as last year.”
Sean Lockhart, director of
resource and development
with Their Opportunity, said
the money was still coming in,
but it looked like the fundraiser
would raise more than $4,000.
Although it won’t be as high as
the $6,000 collected last year, he
said the kids did an exceptional
job considering teachers were
involved in a labour dispute.
Sherwood Public School stu-
dents were the top earners this
year.

DURHAM -- Police have issued a warning
about an online scam that targets apartment
hunters.
No victims of the fraud have come forward,
Durham police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy
said. The scam was discovered by an officer
who launched an investigation, posing as a
prospective tenant to learn more about it.
“We have no reported incident that we’re
investigating,” Sgt. van Rooy said. “But we are
concerned about people being victimized.”
The scam, involving real estate listings in
Pickering, appears to target people interested
in buildings popular among seniors in areas
such as Valley Farm Road and The Espla-
nade. Using local sites such as Homefinder.
ca, the scammers offer cheap sub-leases on
condos. In one case, a two-bedroom condo
was offered for $700 a month. “It’s very attrac-
tive pricing,” Sgt. van Rooy said.
Providing a cover story about having to
leave the area for work, the scam artist tries
to convince the prospective renter to send a
deposit for the first month’s rent via Western
Union in exchange for keys and a lease.
The scam was uncovered by a Durham cop
who engaged the online fraudster, obtain-
ing photos of the phoney condo and other
details, Sgt. van Rooy said.
Police recommend apartment hunters deal
only with reputable agents or brokers, and
avoid forwarding deposits online prior to
viewing properties in person.

Season comes
to a close for
Pickering
Panthers
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- They won’t be walking into
the playoffs, but Pickering Panthers GM/
head coach Mike Galati feels his team took
some steps forward this season.
The Ontario Junior Hockey League season
officially came to an end for the Panthers on
the weekend, but in reality, there hasn’t been
much to play for since early January. The
Panthers finished the season losing their last
six, one in overtime, and collected a win in
just one of their final 18 games, dating back
to Jan. 6.
But up until Christmas they were in the
hunt and competitive.
“I think the organization, we took a step
forward. The ending, January and February,
wasn’t the ending we wanted, with the cir-
cumstances of losing guys that we had no
control over,” said Galati.
“Overall, it’s never good when we don’t
make playoffs and I’m not content with it,
But we took a couple steps forward. It’s a pro-
cess. I thought we could have done it in one
year. I think we came close but we didn’t do
it.”
As a whole, the Panthers struggled to a
13-37-5 record, 23 points back of the eighth
and final playoff spot in the North East Con-
ference. But individually, there were some
good parts. It was just unfortunate that they
didn’t all stay.
At Christmas, Derek Sheppard left for the
Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL, and
Carlos Amestoy joined the Woodstock Slam-
mers of the Maritime Junior Hockey League.
Joseph Benvenuto had to quit for person-
al reasons, and at the trade deadline, Matt
Galati, Cody Doiron and Robert Lepine were
all traded.
“It was a whole different team,” said Gala-
ti of what was left after the dust settled. “We
did the best for them and for our team in the
future.”
The Panthers picked up a couple of young
prospects in return in Nicholas Lepone and
Wil Pointon, and added goalie Conor Bar-
rie. The organization was also able to bring
a number of Durham Region players into the
fold, something they had struggled with in
past seasons.
Moving forward, Galati said he will be busy
recruiting some high-end scorers to replace
the players lost at the trade deadline. As well,
details for the team’s rookie camp are being
worked out, with dates in late April targeted.
On the ice, the Panthers closed out the sea-
son with a 7-0 loss in Lindsay on Friday, a 5-4
overtime defeat in Aurora on Saturday, and
an 8-2 drubbing on home ice Sunday.
Durham West
finish season
two points
out of first place
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Back in the fall, Durham West Jr.
Lightning head coach Wayne McDon-
ald wanted his team to navigate its way
through the season, and at the end, fin-
ish as one of the top four teams in the
league.
When the curtain came down on the
Provincial Women’s Hockey League sea-
son on the weekend, sure enough, they
reached their goal, finishing in a tie for
second, but placed third on the tiebreak-
er with a record of 27-6-2-3.
“That was the goal,” said McDonald.
“Up until this weekend we had an oppor-
tunity to get first. It didn’t happen, but
we did achieve what we wanted to get.”
With that hurdle cleared, another is in
front of them in the form of the Oakville
Hornets, their first-round playoff oppo-
nent in a best-of-five series scheduled to
begin this weekend. At press time, dates,
locations and times were still being
worked out.
While the series pits the third-seed-
ed Lightning against the 14th seed from
Oakville, on paper it would suggest a
short series is in the making. But there is
some intrigue in looking at the matchup,
based on the regular season. On Dec. 21
the Lightning came up with a 1-0 victo-
ry, and on Saturday, Oakville turned the
table with a 2-1 victory in overtime.
Although, to be fair to the Lightning,
there was a twist to the loss.
“That loss is a little misleading because
we did pull our goalie in overtime to try
and get that extra point,” said McDonald
of the move Saturday. “At the end of the
day it didn’t really matter if we gave up
one, it was more important for us to get
that point.”
In the game on home ice, Carly March-
ment opened the scoring in the first
period, but Oakville hung around long
enough to finally get one on the power
play in the third period. The empty-net-
ter with Lightning goalie Kassidy Sauve
pulled in favour of an extra attacker came
with just 11 seconds left in overtime.
Finishing out the season at the Ajax
Community Centre on Sunday, the
Lightning blanked Ottawa 6-0, scoring
once in the first period, twice in the sec-
ond and rounding it out with three more
in the third, with three of the goals com-
ing on the power play. Kennedy March-
ment led the way with a pair of goals,
with singles to Megan Quinn, Stephanie
Cooper, Taylor Edwards and Brittany St.
James.
With Oakville up next, the Lightning
bested them by 25 points in the stand-
ings, but finished tied with two goals
each in the games against each other in
the regular season.
“Whether they match up good with
us I’m not too sure,” offered McDonald.
“They were two games that were clos-
er than we think they should be. They
played us tight in both games.
“In both games their goaltender has
played very well against us, in particular
the second game. We outshot them, but
more importantly we really outchanced
them. We have to find a way to get traffic
in front of the goalie and stay out of the
penalty box. In the second game we took
way too many penalties.”

AJAX -- Ottawa Lady Sens goalie, Sarah McGall, kept her eye on the puck as an Ottawa defender and Durham West
Lightning’s Laura Horwood took a position in front of the net in final regular season action in the Provincial Women’s

Have you had your eyes checked lately?
Honest effort from Sabourin leads to win for Gens
Overage forward
scores twice in
4-1 victory over
Peterborough
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- There is a little intrigue in
Scott Sabourin’s game-winning goal on
Sunday night against the Peterborough
Petes that brings into question the hones-
ty of the overage forward.
Did he deflect the Lucas Lessio shot that
squirted through Peterborough netmind-
er Michael Giugovaz, eventually leading
to a 4-1 win for the Oshawa Generals, or
did the shot deflect off of him?
If it’s the first option, he was due some
praise for his deft hand-eye coordination.
If it was the latter, well, there’s always
some good-natured kidding from team-
mates that ensues about being a pinata.
Turns out it was a little bit of both.
“It hit the shaft of my stick and then went
right off my shin pad and sort of bounced
in five-hole,” said Sabourin of the power-
play goal with 10:15 left in the game that
broke a 1-1 tie. The shot originated from
Lessio, who snapped it at the net with
Sabourin parked in front.
It was the first of two that Sabourin
would score, credited with another with
just 29 seconds left in the game when he
flipped a loose puck over Giugovaz fol-
lowing a tremendous amount of pressure
applied by the Generals in the Peterbor-
ough zone. But turns out Sabourin had
something to confess about that one,
claiming it deflected off Lessio’s glove
before going in.
“We sort of reversed our roles and took
credit for each other’s goals,” said the
game’s first star with a laugh.
The Sabourin goals were sandwiched
around a beauty by Cole Cassels, who
dangled a couple of Peterborough defend-
ers before deking Giugovaz and tucking
the puck between his pads. Tyler Biggs
opened the scoring on a long rebound in
the first period, and Peterborough’s Chase
Hatcher replied in the second to even the
game at one each.
The goals by Sabourin extended a per-
sonal point scoring streak to eight games,
upping his point totals to 29-18-47 on the
season. With just eight games remain-
ing in the regular season, he realizes his
junior career is winding down, and is
making the most of this final run.
“I’ve been playing junior hockey for five
years and it’s coming down to my last
(few) games,” he said. “It’s nice to know
I’ve had a good game and put it all out
there on the line.
“It will be nice to look back and reflect
on it and know that I did well out there.”
With just eight games left, and teams
jockeying for final playoff position, coach
D.J. Smith is looking for his team to com-
mit to the defensive side of the game
before the puck drops on the post-sea-
son.
“I’m more concerned about how we play
defensively, where we’re giving up chanc-
es. I thought our last couple games we did
a very good job of that,” he said.
“The big thing for me is the defensive
side of the puck. We don’t want to give up
odd man rushes. We want to make sure
we are establishing forechecks, getting
discipline, because it’s hard to get in the
playoffs and turn it on.”
Another game will come off in the count-
down tonight when the Generals (35-21-
1-3) travel to Kingston (23-29-2-3).
