St. Bernard Catholic
School celebrates Down
Syndrome Day with a
presentation and music
MELANIE JACOB
mjacob@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- The gym at St. Bernard Cath-
olic School in Whitby was filled with
music and children of various ages cel-
ebrating World Down Syndrome Day on
March 21.
“We just don’t hear enough about Down
syndrome throughout the year,” said
Walter Heeney, president of the Durham
Down Syndrome Association.
The presentation was focused on
Ryland McKeown, a nine-year-old stu-
dent at St. Bernard with Down syndrome.
His mother, Monica Dorgan, was there to
support him and the association by put-
ting together a visual display of Ryland
growing up.
“This is really important to us,” says Ms.
Dorgan. “This day is very special ... and
we want everyone to celebrate that.”
The presentation was focused on the
accomplishments of individuals who,
as the emcees described, “happened to
have” Down syndrome. To keep the chil-
dren entertained, Dani Taylor sung in
between speakers, accompanied by gui-
tarist Mike Bowell.
The information was aimed at raising
awareness and education amongst chil-
dren.
“People have myths in their minds, a
lot of misinformation,” Ms. Dorgan says.
“They think you always know beforehand
... but we didn’t know beforehand, even
with getting scanned.”
Also present was Whitby Regional
Councillor and Deputy Mayor Lorne Coe
and Oshawa Mayor John Henry. They
both spoke about the importance of
Down Syndrome Day to Durham Region.
“Let us each do our part,” said Coun.
Coe. “Let us all help to build a better
community.”
He said it was important to draw atten-
tion to the issue so that all members of
the community can help raise support.
His comments were echoed by Mr.
Heeney, who also praised the school
community.
“The acceptance from the school sys-
tem has been really supportive,” he says.
“School children are much more accept-
ing and aware.”
Mr. Heeney estimates there are approx-
imately 600 families in Durham living
with someone who has Down syndrome.
His association is aware of about 200 of
them, but he wants to meet all of them.
The disorder is caused by a chromo-
somal abnormality.
While it can result in varying degrees
of severity, it’s characterized by a fairly
standard set of physical differences and
intellectual difficulties.
According to the Durham Region
health department, between 2005 and
2009, approximately one out of every 715
babies was born with Down syndrome.

Durham fighting back against Ajax study
Officials claim higher
price tag, question
need
Keith GilliGan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Upgrades sought by Ajax to
the sewer plant would cost between $360
million and $470 million and would add
at least 10 per cent to water and sanitary
sewer user rates.
Durham works commissioner Cliff
Curtis said the funds for the upgrades
“aren’t in the budget.”
The comments came at a works com-
mittee meeting last week as the Region
tried to thwart efforts by Ajax to have the
environmental assessment into the sew-
age plant expansion project lengthened
to include another study.
Durham and York regions are upgrad-
ing the plant, primarily to handle more
growth in York Region.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish will present
a motion at the Regional council meet-
ing on April 3 seeking an “assimilative
capacity and cumulative effects study.”
Ajax has been fighting for additional
studies, saying the Duffin Creek plant
discharges phosphorous, which con-
tributes to a form of algae growth, called
cladophora, on the Town’s waterfront.
Rotary Park Beach in Ajax is near the
plant and has been off-limits for swim-
mers for several years due to high bacte-
ria levels.
Mr. Curtis said that Ajax study “is
essentially more modelling.”
He also dismissed the Ajax claim that
the study would cost $100,000.
“It isn’t $100,000. It’s between $600,000
and $725,000,” Mr. Curtis said, adding it
couldn’t be completed before the mid-
dle of 2015.
“It will not determine if there’s a defin-
itive link (between the plant and clado-
phora growth),” Mr. Curtis said.
Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan defend-
ed the Town’s position, saying, “All Ajax
has formally requested is the timeline be
slowed down for further study.”
She said the Town has made no formal
request for upgrades, such as tertiary
treatment of sewage or a new longer out-
fall pipe.
John Presta, the director of environ-
mental services, said, “If you go on the
Ajax website, that’s is what the request is
for.”
Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins questioned,
“If it’s on your website, isn’t that your
position?”
Mr. Curtis said the current outfall pipe
is “in good condition. We think it has 30
to 40 years life left in it.
“I’ve got a bit of a personal problem
with this, throwing away a useful asset,”
he said of decommissioning the existing
outfall pipe.
The EA should be finished by the end
of the year, Mr. Curtis said, adding, “The
EA has been done thoroughly.”
He said it’s not possible to resolve the
issues. “Even if the Duffin Creek facility
would go away, there would still be cla-
dophora on the Ajax waterfront.”
He said all the sampling has shown the
treated sewage is “well below” standards
set by the Province.
Mr. Curtis said ministry staff “are satis-
fied with the work we’ve done. We don’t
believe ministry staff will be requiring us
to do more.”

Nearly $300,000
in damage,
no injuries after
house fire
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A Pickering couple
was roused from sleep by police
officers in the middle of the night
to evacuate their burning home.
A fire broke out in an enclosed
deck sunroom area at 612 Cognac
Cres. around 1 a.m. on Monday,
March 25.
/,.When police and firefighters
arrived, the flames had spread
under the roof into the attic of the
home, but the sleeping residents
remained unaware as no smoke
alarms had gone off.
“At that point there was no fire
in the house; it was in the attic
but not inside, so no one would
have known,” said Steve Fowlds,
fire inspector with Pickering Fire
Services.
Two police officers succeeded
in waking one resident, a tenant
in the home’s basement apart-
ment, by banging on the front
door, and she informed them
there were two more residents
upstairs.
The officers woke the remain-
ing residents and led them out of
the house unharmed. Firefight-
ers also went back into the home
to retrieve two small dogs, which
were also unharmed.
Although Mr. Fowlds origi-
nally estimated the damage at
$100,000, that total has now been
raised to about $300,000 after
restoration experts determined
the bricks at the back of the home
will have to be replaced.
Although the home sustained
a lot of smoke and water dam-
age, the fact that the fire started
outside helped to minimize the
impact.
“Although the home is not hab-
itable most of the belongings
inside should be fine,” he said,
noting firefighters were able to
get to the scene quickly since they
were already in the area respond-
ing to the initial 911 call, which
reported smoke in the vicinity,
when a second 911 call came in
reporting the address of the fire.
Although a single cause of the
fire was not able to be deter-
mined, Mr. Fowlds said the fire
was not suspicious and the inves-
tigation has been closed.

Durham incinerator committee role questioned
Citizens’ advisory
committee isn’t
advising, says Roger
Anderson
Jennifer O’Meara
jomeara@durhamregion.com
CLARINGTON -- Durham Region chair-
man Roger Anderson ruffled some feath-
ers at his annual address to Clarington
council, when he said a citizens’ commit-
tee on the energy-from-waste facility is not
an advisory committee for the Region.
“I don’t think they’re advising us. I think
they’re there to pass on comments from
the group and provide any feedback.
They’re not there to provide any advice to
the Region,” said Mr. Anderson.
“They report to works committee and
their comments would be passed onto
Regional council.”
Marven Whidden sits on the Energy
From Waste -- Waste Management Advi-
sory Committee, which is made up of pub-
lic voting members, four from Clarington
and five others from across the region.
He was quick to stress he speaks for
himself and not the committee, but said
he understood the committee’s job is to
act as a liaison between the citizens and
Region.
“What part of advisory doesn’t (Mr.
Anderson) understand? To me, that’s an
insult to the members of the committee
and the citizens of Clarington who are
going to be hosting the incinerator,” said
Mr. Whidden.
He added he didn’t support the Courtice
incinerator but once it was approved he
wanted to be on the committee.
The committee was formed as a condi-
tion of the host community agreement.
From their terms of reference, the man-
date is to act in an advisory role to the
Durham Works Com-
mittee on “issues or
concerns which arise
with waste diversion,
waste management,
environmental per-
formance and mon-
itoring of the EFW
facility, including
the construction and
operational phases.”
Councillor Joe
Neal told Mr. Ander-
son at the March 4
meeting that from the
terms of reference the committee seems
like an advisory group.
Coun. Neal asked about the citizen com-
mittee’s recommendation for additional
environmental monitoring for the EFW
facility, in response to reports that 1,800
tonnes of fly ash from a Covanta inciner-
ator were dumped in a landfill in Cache
Creek, British Columbia and failed a toxic-
ity test.
“I have no interest in what happened in
Cache Creek, I’m interested in what hap-
pens here in Durham Region,” said Mr.
Anderson.
“I’m not going to debate with you about
what happened in Cache Creek... I don’t
know if every company you deal with is so
perfect there isn’t human error.”
“If (Covanta) are not necessarily going
to do the right thing when nobody’s look-
ing...” said Coun. Neal.
“You’re assuming they’re not going to do
the right thing, just because they made a
mistake elsewhere,” said Mr. Anderson.
“You’re trying to make it like the end of
the earth, it’s not going to work for me.”
Regional council is expecting a report on
environmental monitoring in April.
Mr. Anderson said it will be a regional
council decision whether to spend more
on monitoring.
There are two EFW committees. The other
one is the Energy from Waste Advisory Com-
mittee, established as a Provincial condition
of approval for the incinerator. It is made up
of a representative (mainly staff members)
from each municipality in Durham and York
and three local environmental groups --
Zero Waste 4 Zero Burning, DurhamCLEAR
and Durham Environment Watch.

Durham should go with the flow on Line 9
Durham councillors
are being asked to
support a bid by
Enbridge and go with
the flow in reversing
the direction of oil from
a pipeline that runs
through much of the
region.
Enbridge officials spoke before a regional
works committee last week, explaining the
rationale for the request to reverse the flow
of oil in the pipe and seeking the support
of Durham council for the project. Politi-
cians voted to endorse staff recommenda-
tions that call on Enbridge to ensure the
pipe, known locally as Line 9, remains in
good working order, that the company pro-
vide an emergency response plan and that
it work with the Durham Emergency Main-
tenance Office on setting protocols should
an incident occur.
Enbridge wants to reverse the flow of oil
in the pipe so it travels from west to east, en
route to a Montreal refinery for processing.
No new pipe is being laid and no addition-
al construction is required, other than the
modifications needed at pumping stations
along the line.
Enbridge, residents may remember, was
responsible for a spill on another line in
2010, when the pipe ruptured, spilling
19,000 barrels of crude into the Kalamazoo
River. The firm faces millions of dollars in
fines for the spill and warned recently that
it could cost nearly $1 billion to clean up.
If that’s not an incentive to ensure that
Line 9 in Durham is in the best state of
repair it can be, and if it’s not compelling
enough for Enbridge officials to ensure no
similar such incident occurs in Durham, it
shouldn’t be in the business of transporting
oil. But the fact is that Canadians need oil
and refineries to heat our homes, fuel our
cars so we can get to our jobs, power public
transit and more.
It may be evil in the eyes of even the least
ardent environmentalists, but it remains a
necessary evil.
In that context, we call on Durham offi-
cials to support Enbridge’s bid at its meeting
in April. However, residents will expect, as
was supported by regional staff in its recent
report, that Durham ensures Enbridge
takes all of the precautionary steps required
to ensure the integrity of Line 9. Further-
more, we ask that Durham officials demand
quarterly updates, at a minimum, from
Enbridge officials updating Durham on any
incidents, its record of oversight and moni-
toring, and of complaints.
Open and accountable political over-
sight, combined with ongoing monitoring
by Enbridge, will ensure that Durham resi-
dents are kept informed and minimize the
chance for a spill.

Parking rules the Internet airwaves
I’ve said before that stories about animals
and crime get big numbers on our website
while other stories can be hit and miss.
My column a few weeks ago is a prime
example of how people react in different
ways to a story. I mentioned a few weeks ago
we were going to remove commenting on all
our crime stories because of the increasing
racist comments they were attracting. Some
of our readers applauded the decision, say-
ing the hateful comments don’t belong on a
newspaper’s website. Others complained we
were impeding free speech and one reader
has as much right as another to say what
they want.
I disagree. We have a job to curtail hate-
ful speech, but it seems this issue went fur-
ther afield than we thought. The Columbia
School of Journalism called and asked to
reprint the column on its website. This issue
isn’t just one facing local newspapers.
I was surprised again last Friday when
Parvaneh Pessian’s story appeared on the
website about parking in a Whitby subdivi-
sion. One of the homeowners has received
$500 in parking tickets because there is no
room in his driveway for two vehicles.
The reaction to the story was quick. At
last count, there were 27 comments on it.
Some people agreed, complaining garages
and driveways aren’t big enough, while oth-
ers argued if you need a bigger driveway,
buy a bigger house. The comments weren’t
derogatory or abusive. The story has even
garnered wider attention with a number of
Toronto radio stations and daily papers con-
tacting us to talk with the homeowner.
My original statement about animals and
crime should be amended to add parking.
People love to talk about parking, either the
lack of it, how far away from a store they had
to park and walk or how much they had to
pay. Now if we could only find a story about
a monkey who stole a car and parked in an
expectant mom’s only spot.
-- Managing editor Mike Johnston tries to park as far
away from a store as possible to get some exercise.

R eader not impressed with rumbling ride
To the editor :
Re: ‘Heroes Highway Ride to kick off in
Whitby this year’, news, durhamregion.
com, March 245, 2013.
Disgust.
That is my reaction to the Heroes High-
way Ride.
This is just another public relations gam-
bit by a bunch of irresponsible noisy bik-
ers. A moment of silence is respectful. But
they want nothing to do with silence. They
want to promote “motorcyclists will roar”
which is the opposite of respect.
It is their rude and bullying response to
all situations. The cavalcades for fallen
soldiers were indeed moving events. This
cheapens and distorts those solemn occa-
sions.
The Whitby This Week paper and Metro-
land Media should be ashamed for pro-
moting such a display that lacks any real
dignity. A bunch of brutish bikers out for
a ear-splitting ride is nothing to celebrate
and certainly does not belong on a front
page. This makes me ashamed to say that
I am from Whitby. We sunk so very low by
being part of this event.
This is belligerence not honour.

The enduring strength of family bonds
Recently, in the space of only a few days,
I bumped into two different ends of the
same human issue.
At an audition, I met an old actor friend
who, with tears in his eyes, described the
very emotional journey of his 84-year-old
dad’s lingering death.
He told me further about his mom, still
very much alive, but in the confused, fright-
ening clutches of a dementia that forced
my friend to relive his dad’s passing over
and over and over again. “No, Mom, I’m
afraid we can’t go see Dad today, remem-
ber I told you, he passed away.”
Only days later, I found myself at the visi-
tation for a beautiful and vivacious 49-year-
old woman taken far too early from her
very young children and husband.
The hollow-eyed grief on those dear,
exhausted faces will stay with me for a long,
long time.
When I spoke to the husband, a friend, I
told him that oddly enough, in all the years
I had known him and his wonderful kids
who had shown up in my kitchen on many
occasions, I had never had the pleasure of
knowing his wife.
He smiled at me and said, “If you know
my children, you knew Lorraine.” I couldn’t
have put it better. A heartbreakingly per-
fect description of what parenting can and
should be.
Our parents. Our mothers and fathers. Is
there any more complex, more enduring,
more remarkable bond? Is there anything
that defines us so completely as human
beings? The relationship between us and
those who created us, raised us, put their
stamp so indelibly upon us, for better or
worse?
During the course of both previous sce-
narios I was vividly aware of how blessed I
am that, even at 52, both of my parents are
not only alive but sharp, present and very
much independent.
They are still around to call and to call
me. To play cards with, hang out with, talk
with. I can and do have lunch with them
whenever possible.
I can avail myself of their love, wisdom
and experience at any time I should feel
the need. Provided, of course, that I call
before 8 p.m. They are, after all, octogenar-
ians.
But more importantly, they are, in short,
still here. Something many, many people
desperately wish they could yet say about
one or both of their parents.
Whenever I witness stories like those I
was privy to this past week, I always send a
silent thank you to the departed and to the
broken-hearted they have departed from.
Because inevitably, within the ragged, sad
hole they leave behind them, is found that
stern and unforgiving lesson that I seem to
need pounded into my thick skull all too
often.
Life is short and unpredictable. Every-
one and everything is a gift. Take nothing
for granted. Say everything you want to say.
Tell people you adore them while they are
around to hear it. Lose your grudges. Fin-
ish your race with an empty regret bucket.
And drop everything for love.

Amanda Barg: As a side-
walk user, there is nothing I
hate more than people who
park over the sidewalks.
It’s inconsiderate for the
safety of walkers, often children, parents
with strollers, or people with wheelchairs.
They should not be forced to detour onto
the possibly busy, with awkward snow
banks, road just because a homeowner
has too many vehicles for their house.

Amy Pag: I guess peo-
ple should have thought
about that when they
were purchasing the
house! Oh well too bad....
PAY!
Cheryl James-Archer:
This is why I live in the
country. Builders are not
thinking of this when they
plan out subdivisions.Most
house holds have 2 cars, why would they
do this, all it is is a tax grab for the gov-
ernment to squeeze as many houses into
subdivisions to get more property taxes.
I owned a wartime house and the size of
the lot was twice the size of the ones they
build today!And I could fit 3 cars in my
driveway!
Lesley Mcconnell Scelsa:
If the city allowed paid per-
mits for street parking alot
of issues including blocking
sidewalks would be solved.
It looks cool, but I don’t know if we need it.
Municipal parking restrictions brought a big
response from our Facebook friends in the
last week. Here’s what they had to say:
Corina March: They don’t
make the driveways long
enough. I got a ticket for
being parked on the apron
of my driveway because
the tip of my car blocked the sidewalk just
slightly. I tried to fight it to no avail. I was
questioned...why don’t you park in the
garage? My answer....it’s not big enough!!!
Mike Hall: Had this problem
in Whitby as well. Started
parking my car at the end of
my driveway but parallel to
the road and sidewalk. Took
some maneuvering but solved the prob-
lem.

The InBox
Airport screeners have seen it all
Screening officers at Canada’s major airports screened more
than 51 million passengers last year. Some of the items travellers
brought along were real head-scratchers.
Explosive situation
At Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, a World War II aficio-
nado’s travel plans were halted after the X-ray identified
what looked like a grenade. A search found that the item
was a replica of a World War II grenade. Explosives and
replicas thereof are not allowed onboard.
Not packing light
Screening officers in Vancouver made a surprising discovery when
a passenger went through the metal detector: a six-inch hunting
knife. But that’s not all. In the course of the search, they also found
30 grams of marijuana and a retractable steel baton. Police were
called and the passenger was arrested.
Stunning catch
A Toronto-Pearson passenger decided to bring a
stun gun in his carry-on bag. When the shape of a
gun was observed at the X-ray, screening officers
inspected the bag and found a prohibited stun
gun. Stun guns are not only banned from aircraft but also
illegal to possess under Canada’s Criminal Code.
Alarming money belt
A passenger set off the alarm when he walked through the metal
detector at Toronto-Pearson International Airport.
Screening officers subsequently found multiple rolls
of coins in the waistband of his pants. Coins are
allowed in carry-on bags so hopefully the passen-
ger realized it’s a more comfortable way to stash his
cash.

Ajax and Pickering
hospital encouraging
residents to register
as organ donors
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Tethered to an oxygen
tube at his kitchen table, Brandon Gib-
son visibly brightens when he recalls
the years after his first lung transplant.
Then 14, the Pickering resident, who
suffers from cystic fibrosis, felt what
it was like to take a deep, easy breath
for the first time. After recovering, he
enjoyed playing sports including hock-
ey and lacrosse and generally living life
like any other teenager.
“I don’t like to sit around and do noth-
ing, it kills me,” Mr. Gibson said. “I defi-
nitely want to get back to where I was,
if not better. I want to be able to play
hockey again.”
Now 20, Mr. Gibson is once again
awaiting a life-saving organ dona-
tion after his body started rejecting his
transplant in 2011. He is currently hov-
ering around 25-per cent lung function
and has been on the transplant list since
January 2012.
“It’s pretty intense,” he said of the
waiting.
“During the day I try to stay active to
keep my mind off it but at night it can
weigh pretty heavily on you. I think
about it a lot, waiting for the pager to go
off.”
Rouge Valley Health System, where
Mr. Gibson does physiotherapy twice a
week, is reaching out to the community
in an attempt to add at least 200 names
to the donor registry in partnership
with the Trillium Gift of Life Network.
Beginning Tuesday, April 2 the Ajax and
Pickering hospital will be flying ‘Be a
Donor’ flags to raise awareness.
“While the decision to become an
organ donor is a personal one, each
day our staff, physicians and volunteers
meet patients whose lives are forever
changed by organ and tissue donation,”
said Rik Ganderton, president and CEO
of Rouge Valley. “This campaign is just
one way Rouge Valley can help to raise
awareness.”
It is estimated that one organ donor
can save eight lives and enhance up to
75 lives through tissue donation.
Mr. Gibson’s mother, Muriel Gibson,
can speak personally to the impact a
donation can have.
“They say you can save eight lives,
but in my family alone you automati-
cally affect five, because all our lives
are changed,” she explained, noting not
a day goes by that she doesn’t think of
the donor family from Mr. Gibson’s first
transplant.
For Mr. Gibson, who has had to weigh
his own life at a very early age, inform-
ing his family that if he does not receive
a transplant he does not want to be kept
alive by machines, the benefits of dona-
tion are clear.
“The bottom line is it saves lives, it
can be so helpful to so many people,” he
said.
“It’s not easy to lose a loved one,
but to be able to thiwnk of that per-
son saving eight lives is amazing.
Knowing the success organ donation
does have, and what it’s done for my
life, I couldn’t have asked for more.”

an organ donor, visit www.beadonor.ca/

Organ donation in
Durham Region
In 2012 a record-breaking 1,053 organ
transplants were performed, up 11 per cent
over 2011, and the third consecutive year
to see growth in the number of transplants
performed.
Despite that growth, only 22 per cent of
Ontario residents were registered as donors
at the end of 2012, and 95 people on the
transplant list died waiting for organs last
year.
In Durham Region registration rates
range from a high of 31 per cent in Whitby
and Uxbridge to a low of 16 per cent in Ajax
and Pickering, which are ranked near the
bottom of the pack across the 179 commu-

Differing opinions on federal budget
Keith GilliGan, Parvaneh Pessian
kgilligan@durhamregion.com,
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- There’s money for munic-
ipal infrastructure needs, manufacturers
and job training in the federal budget,
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said.
However, groups representing labour,
students and retired workers are “dis-
heartened” other needs have been
ignored.
“The major thing isn’t deficits. We
have sluggish economic recovery, a
stalling job market, record student debt
and inadequate employment insurance.
Canadians expected the federal govern-
ment to tackle these issues in the bud-
get,” said Erin Harrison of the Canadian
Labour Congress.
She made the comments during a post-
budget press conference held at the
Oshawa YWCA on March 21.
In an interview after delivering the
budget, Mr. Flaherty, Whitby-Oshawa
MP, said locally the infrastructure fund-
ing is “probably the most important
because we all live in Durham Region
and we know our infrastructure needs,
Hwy. 407, more GO train service, more
public transit, all of that.”
The federal government is also
addressing youth unemployment and
skills training with the Canada Job Grant
-- providing $15,000 to help someone
get training, with Ottawa, the Province
and the employer each chipping in one-
third.
“We’ve made a major change in this
budget (to) link employers into the pro-
cess and the billions of dollars that the
federal government spends every year on
skills training is going to directly involve
employers,” he said.
“Employers can participate, they can
match the federal (government’s) $5,000
and they can train somebody, and that
person hopefully will be a good person
for them to hire when they’re finished
their training. So, that way, we get good
job results instead of just training results
for people who want jobs,” said Mr. Fla-
herty.
Bob Jackson of the Public Service Alli-
ance of Canada predicted the govern-
ment would hide what it wants to do
with an omnibus budget bill, similar to
what it did with last year’s budget.
“It’s difficult to know what the govern-
ment has in mind. It’s vague. They want
to merge CIDA (Canadian International
Development Agency into the Foreign
Affairs department). There’s a real pos-
sibility of significant job losses. Is that
good for Canadians and the communi-
ties they live in,” Mr. Jackson said.
John MacDonald of the Durham Region
Labour Council noted, “There’s still two
million Canadians who can’t find work.
It’s not a matter of not wanting to work.”
Mr. Flaherty said municipalities will
like the continuation of infrastructure
funding.
The Building Canada Fund includes
$14 billion over 10 years.
“I had a lot of discussions with the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities
and they supported what we’re doing.
They’re actually quite happy with what
we’ve agreed to do because it just means
they can get a lot of infrastructure done,”
he said.
“If you live in Whitby or Oshawa or
anywhere in Durham Region, this is
good news. There are going to be more
highways (and) more public transit,” Mr.
Flaherty noted.

Ajax’s Brittney Lawrence off to Butler Community College
J. Clarke Richardson
student to join Grizzlies
soccer team
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Brittney Lawrence can’t wait to get
to Butler Community College in El Dorado,
Kansas.
And for good reason. She’s never been
there before.
The Ajax resident has committed to play
soccer for the Division-III junior college
Grizzlies beginning in the fall, and when
she steps foot on campus, it will be the first
time she gets to see her new surroundings.
It’s not that she didn’t go on some vis-
its to chart out her academic and athletic
career for the next two years; it’s just that of
the three schools she went to tour, none of
them was Butler.
Instead, through the NCSA Athletic
Recruiting agency, Butler saw her pro-
file and made contact through phone and
email.
“I did my SAT and they weren’t up to
where I wanted them to be, so I couldn’t go
to a Division-I or II school if I really wanted
to. So, the next best choice was junior col-
lege,” says the Grade 12 student at J. Clarke
Richardson in Ajax.
Thoughts of heading to the United States
to play soccer at the collegiate level first
came to mind a couple of years ago while
travelling to showcase tournaments with
her Ajax United team. When it came time
to make a commitment, she was looking
for a school with good academics, a good
soccer coach and recognized program.
On the pitch, Butler will be a good fit.
This past season they went 22-3-0, reach-
ing the NJCAA national tournament for the
second year in a row, having won back-to-
back conference championships under
head coach Adam Hunter.
“I’m really excited. I can’t wait,” she says
of the enthusiasm she has for joining the
team when it begins play on Aug. 23.
In the classroom, Lawrence will be study-
ing business management.

Fall in four games in
PWHL quarter-finals
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The disappointment was evident in
the voice of Durham West Jr. Lightning head
coach Wayne McDonald.
Asked if the sting of getting eliminated
by the London Devilettes in the Provincial
Women’s Hockey League quarter-finals still
stung a couple of days later, he had a one-
word answer, but repeated it three times.
“Huge. Huge. Huge.”
The Lightning were bounced in four games
of their best-of-five series, falling Friday and
Saturday in London by scores of 2-1 and 5-1.
The teams split the opening two games the
weekend before in Ajax, London winning the
opener 3-0 and the Lightning squaring the
series with a 2-1 win.
London won where it counted most, on the
scoreboard, out-scoring the Lightning 11-4
in the four games. Where the games were
lopsided by a wide margin was in shots on
goal, where the Lightning almost held a two-
to-one edge, out-shooting London 122 to 62
all told in the four games, including 42-20 in
the final game of the series.
“The biggest thing is, as I told the girls,
there wasn’t much more we could do,” said
McDonald of the effort turned in by his team
during the series. “(London) capitalized
on every single opportunity that they had.
Unfortunately we had to cheat a little bit as
games went along to try and win, so it cre-
ated a couple more opportunities than we
would like.
“Bottom line is, we did everything but
score. I can’t fault the players at all.”
The difference in the series was London
goaltender Jessica Dodds, a member of Team
Ontario and the national program, who has a
.965 save percentage and two shutouts in the
seven playoff games she has appeared in.
“Generally in a series you overcome that
hot goaltending, but we couldn’t,” said
McDonald.
Heading into the series, the Lightning were
the favourite based on the regular season
standings, finishing third compared to Lon-
don’s sixth.
London, along with Whitby, Mississauga
and Toronto have advanced to this week-
end’s Final Four championships at the Mat-
tamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, formerly
Maple Leaf Gardens.
For the Lightning, they will work toward the
provincial championships in Ottawa from
April 5-7, but it won’t have the same feel.
“It doesn’t have the lustre of the final four.
That’s where everyone wants to be,” said
McDonald. “Obviously we are going to have
to work to get our girls up for that. It’s a little
tougher.”
With McDonald confirming that he will be
returning as head coach next season, that
process begins right after provincials, with
tryouts beginning April 10.

Bobby Gertsakis reaches NCAA hockey final with Oswego
OSWEGO, N.Y. -- Sophomore defence-
man Bobby Gertsakis of Pickering was a
member of the Oswego State men’s hock-
ey team that finished the season in second
place at the NCAA Division-III men’s hock-
ey championships in Lake Placid, N.Y.
In the championship game against
UW-Eau Claire, Gertsakis had a pair of
goals in a 5-3 loss.
Gertsakis played in 27 games this sea-
son posting 7-10-17 point totals on a defen-
sive unit that allowed just 1.88 goals per
game. He was named to the 2013 NCAA
Championship All-Tournament team after
scoring two goals in the championship
game and the 2013 State University of
New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC)
All-Tournament team.
Oswego State finished the season with
a 25-5-0 overall record and a conference
mark of 14-2-0 en route to winning the
SUNYAC Championship.

Generals take first two games from Niagara IceDogs
Series shifts to
St. Catharines for
Games 3 and 4
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The bottom line is the
Oshawa Generals held serve, winning
the first two games of their OHL playoff
series with the Niagara IceDogs on home
ice at the General Motors Centre.
But, if the IceDogs were looking for
something to build on from the best-of-
seven Eastern Conference quarter-final,
they may have found it in Sunday’s 4-3
loss.
Playing without their top goal-scorer,
Brett Ritchie, who didn’t make the trip
due to the flu, the IceDogs battled back
from a 4-1 deficit to make a game of it.
If they can get Ritchie back to full
strength, they can look to the smaller
confines of their home rink in St. Cath-
arines, where they have always played
well, to try to make a series of it.
Games 3 was last night (after print dead-
line) at the Gatorade Garden City Com-
plex and Game 4 is also there, Thursday
at 7 p.m.
“Discipline is for sure the biggest thing,”
said Generals coach D.J. Smith Sunday,
after watching his club allow one pow-
er-play goal on eight chances. “You can’t
continue to take penalties, and dumb
penalties really, the sticking penalties,
and holding. If you save a goal, that’s one
thing, but to take the others, you’re just
allowing teams in the game and we can’t
continue to do that.”
Scott Sabourin led the way with two
goals and an assist for the Generals, who
looked as though they would win in a
cakewalk through the first half of the
game.
But goals by Ben Hughes and Jordan
Maletta sent the game into the third peri-
od 4-3, before Daniel Altshuller held the
fort, making 10 of his 23 saves.
The Generals had an excellent chance
to build on the lead with a 5-on-3 power
play to start the third, but despite control-
ling the puck for pretty much the entire
two minutes, they couldn’t beat Niagara
goalie Christopher Festarini, who made
34 saves in the game.
“We played hard and that’s about as
much as we can get out of our guys, the
compete level on the five-and-three and
the compete level in getting ourselves
back into that game,” said IceDogs coach
Marty Williamson.
“It’ll be nice to see if we can get Ritchie
back into the series, get our full team
going and be more comfortable in our
building. Hopefully we can get back in
this series.”
Scott Laughton continued his strong
playoff with a goal and an assist, giving
him five points in the two games and
earning him OHL player of the week hon-
ours. He scored twice in Friday’s series
opening 5-2 win.
Defenceman Josh Brown also scored
for the Generals Sunday, his first career
OHL goal late in first period, less than a
minute after Brendan Perlini had scored
for Niagara.
Both games ended with flared tempers,
with Friday’s resulting in a 10-game sus-
pension assessed to Niagara’s Ondrej
Kopta as the result of a slashing major
after the buzzer.
If necessary, Game 5 of the series is
on Good Friday at the GM Centre (7:35
p.m.), Game 6 in St. Catharines Monday,
April 1 (7 p.m.) and Game 7 in Oshawa
Tuesday, April 2 (7:05 p.m.).

DURHAM -- The Durham Eclipse of the Dur-
ham Basketball Association won a U17 tour-

Howarth, Angelique Dack, Taiya King, Laura

Top Shelf clinches bye to playoffs
AJAX -- It was a hard fought game from start
to finish with Michael’s Eatery leading 25-21
at half time over Top Shelf in Ajax Men’s Bas-
ketball League play.
In the end the Shelf won the contest 52-41
to clinch second place in the league and a
first round bye in the playoffs. Ravi Persad
led the way with 23 points while guard Stuart
Skeete chipped in 13. Rob Hare was the lone
bright spot for Michaels with 13.
North Alliance Press played a strong defen-
sive game in upsetting first place ESN Pack-
aging 32-30. Sherwin James had a dozen for
NAP and Calvin Simon 17 for ESN.
The Right Step got back on track with a con-
vincing 47-33 victory over Dickson’s Print-
ing. Bill Jack tallied 23 while Brian Marcel-
lus added 9 and controlled the boards. Leon
Arendse had a dozen for Dickson’s.

Renee Louise
St. Jean
Chambers
September 16, 1971
~ March 26, 2004
Dear Renee,
Sad was the parting, no one can tell,
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.
Dearer still, as years depart
Is your memory
Dwelling within our hearts.
Forever in our thoughts
and prayers Renee.
Love Mom and your entire family
