New partnership with OLG brings
electronic gaming to bingo centres
MOYA DILLON
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- This isn’t your grandma’s bingo hall.
Instead of folding chairs and card tables, Pickering’s Delta
Bingo features banks of screens stretching across modern
long tables or clustered around circular bank seating, flanked
by what look like slot machines.
“E-bingo has brought bingo to a whole new level, it’s brought
back the excitement and brought in a lot of new customers,”
said Lucy Ogilvie, hall manager, referring to a new partner-
ship between bingo halls and
the OLG.
The program is designed to revi-
talize bingo in Ontario by pro-
viding electronic gaming along-
side traditional, paper-based
bingo games.
At Delta, that includes the intro-
duction of new digital screens
that offer patrons the choice
of playing a virtual bingo card
and play-on-demand games,
and new TapTix machines,
introduced at the end of Feb-
ruary, which bring break-open
Nevada-style tickets into the
digital age by dispensing them
through a slot-style gaming experience.
“It’s more exciting and offers the customer a choice of dif-
ferent things, they’re not just sitting here listening to numbers
being called,” Ms. Ogilvie explained.
“Bingo was a dying industry in my eyes but this has really
turned it around. We’ve definitely come a long way since we
started this, the customers just love it.”

A look at Durham
in 2030
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- In 2030, those with skills will
own the workplace, and those without
will struggle.
Life will be so frantic that music making
may be one of the few ways to stay sane.
Every heartbeat and breath will be ana-
lyzed for advanced critical care and better
outcomes.
Industrial materials will be universal-
ly affordable, and solve environmental
problems rather than create them.
These were the visions offered by four
professors at a free public lecture, Life in
2030, at the University of Ontario Institute
of Technology’s Regent Theatre in Oshawa
on April 3. It was part of Research Matters,
a lecture series and collaboration among
Ontario’s 21 universities to emphasize
how research is changing lives.
Dr. Linda Duxbury of Carleton Universi-
ty says that in 2030 “If you’ve got the skills
and you’ve got the talent, you’re going to
be well looked after in the labour market.”
She explained a drop in birth rates and
a huge baby boom cohort has created a
shift in demographics, posing a problem
for jobs of the future: an under-supply
in young workers, while baby boomers
-- currently making up 40 per cent of the
work force -- will no longer be working.
She referenced a Time Magazine study
that indicates by 2020, there will be a sur-
plus of 93 million people without jobs, but
also a shortage of 85 million people with
the skills required for these jobs. Many
companies will turn to outsourcing, she
said.
“We face a future where there’s jobs
without people and people without jobs,”
she said.
So the best bet for success is to ensure
youth are growing up and getting the skills
they need.
While this professor talked about
change, Dr. Rena Upitis of Queen’s Univer-
sity spoke of something that -- although
advancing through various forms of
technology -- will have the same effect:
music.
She showed slides of the First World War
when Belgian and British soldiers both put
aside their weapons and joined together
in song on Christmas Eve in 1914. Before
long, they were sharing food, cigarettes
and laughter.
“Never doubt that music is powerful. If
only for a day, singing stopped a war,” she
said.
She believes that music will have the
same powers in 2030.
Dr. Suresh Narine of Trent University
believes, “Carbon will become the essen-
tial commodity of our time.”
He’s working to reinvent everyday mate-
rials such as medical supplies, product
packaging, car parts, lubricants, waxes
and grease, using agricultural oilseed
crops such as soy beans and canola.
He hopes this research will lead to the
replacement of many products that are
currently produced from petroleum and
other fossil resources.
Dr. Carolyn McGregor of UOIT says, “In
2030 we will get to a place where we can
have health care anytime, anywhere.”
But there is still much to be done. For
example, now in 2013, while there’s a sur-
vival rate of 90 per cent for premature
babies, they usually have a disability. We
have all sorts of data, she said, but health
care isn’t yet able to use the data in help-
ful ways.
She says we must be able to capture data
from sensors and start using it and learn-
ing new information about the onset of
disease.
DURHAM -- Four different visions of what the world could look like in the future were
discussed in a free public lecture titled ‘Life in 2030’ at the University of Ontario Institute
of Technology’s Regent Theatre on April 3. Dr. Rena Upitis of Queen’s University
showed slides of the First World War when Belgian and British soldiers put aside their
weapons and joined together in song on Christmas Eve in 1914. Before long, they
were sharing food, cigarettes and laughter. Never doubt that music is powerful. She
believes that music will have the same powers in 2030.

Lindsay Margaret
Wilson died in hospital
Erica raE chong
newsroom@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Funeral services are being held
on Thursday, April 11 for an Ajax woman
killed in Bracebridge last week.
Visitation for Lindsay Margaret Wilson
will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at Barnes
Memorial Funeral Home, 5295 Thickson
Rd. N., Whitby. A tribute will follow in the
chapel at 6 p.m. for her family and friends
in the GTA.
Ms. Wilson, 26, was killed in a shoot-
ing in Bracebridge on Friday, April 5. Also
killed was Jeremy Raymond Pearson, 32,
of South Frontenac, Ontario.
The two were found with fresh gunshot
wounds, sprawled on the lawn of a house
on Curling Club Road. Mr. Pearson died
on the scene and Ms. Wilson later suc-
cumbed to her injuries in hospital.
While police would not confirm the rela-
tionship between the victims, the woman’s
mother, Alison Irons, identified the man as
her daughter Lindsay’s ex-boyfriend.
Ms. Wilson, who was a fourth-year stu-
dent in the child and family studies pro-
gram at Nipissing University’s Muskoka
campus, was renting a room in the house.
She was described in her obituary as “a
compassionate, kind and beautiful soul,
pursuing the vocation she found in herself
at the age of 8.
“She loved taking photos of her friends,
learning new things, dancing and listen-
ing to music, and being outdoors in the
sunshine as she was on the day she died.
She wanted to learn to fly, travel the world
and have children one day.”
“My daughter had a vocation for work-
ing with vulnerable adults with intellec-
tual and developmental disabilities and
she was the kindest most compassionate
soul,” said Ms. Irons.
Neighbours in the area were shocked and
saddened by the news. They described the
neighbourhood as peaceful and safe, sur-
rounded by a golf course.
In a message posted Sunday on the uni-
versity website, president Mike DeGagne
said, “It is with great sadness that I am
writing to advise you of the death of one
of our students, Lindsay Wilson, in an off-
campus incident that occurred on Friday,
in Bracebridge. ... On behalf of the Univer-
sity, I offer my sincere sympathies to Lind-
say’s family and friends. Our thoughts are
with each of you who knew, worked with,
taught and were friends with Lindsay.”
University spokeswoman Beverly Martin
said the university has arranged for coun-
selling for anyone who would like the sup-
port, and also will be flexible about year-
end classes and assignments and exams if
needed.
Another service for Ms. Wilson will be
held at Reid’s Funeral Home in Kingston
for her family and friends in Kingston at a
later date.

Man menaced with shotgun
in Pickering
PICKERING -- A man was assaulted and
threatened with a loaded shotgun during a
disturbance at an all-night party on the week-
end in Pickering, police said.
One man faces several charges after
the incident, which was reported to Dur-
ham police after the 5 a.m. altercation. Cops
said the owner of the townhouse assaulted
a 28-year-old victim and pointed a loaded
shotgun at him.
The victim fled and contacted police. A
suspect was arrested without incident and a
search of the residence led to the seizure of
a 12-gauge shotgun, a 22-calibre rifle and
ammunition, as well as a small quantity of
marijuana.
Michael Head, 21, of Pickering is
charged with assault, threatening bodily
harm or death, pointing a firearm, drug pos-
session and nine weapons offences.

Two places to look
for ‘efficiencies’
To the editor:
Re: ‘Durham College, UOIT presidents
address tuition cap hike’, news, durhamre-
gion.com, April 4, 2013.
You quote Durham College president
Don Lovisa and UOIT president Dr. Tim
McTiernan bemoaning the four-year
tuition fee cap of three per cent set by the
Provincial government on Ontario colleg-
es.
The typical college tuition is about
$2,400, Mr. Lovisa says, and Dr. McTier-
nan speaks of “cutbacks in operational
funding” and “finding more efficiencies”.
Here’s an idea: The 2012 ‘sunshine list’
has Mr. Lovisa’s salary at $277,329, while
Dr. McTiernan pulls in $320,000 -- for a
princely total of $597,329.
This will eat up 249 student tuition fees.
It’s obvious where these two presidents
didn’t look for the efficiencies they claim
to seek.

Oshawa teen
is scared straight
An Oshawa teen learned a tough lesson
while in a Lindsay jail and the story of his
revelation should be must reading for every
teenager in Durham.
Last week, while covering a preliminary
hearing for a murder trial expected to start
in May, court reporter Jeff Mitchell came
upon the story of Dylan Young, an 18-year-
old Oshawa teen who learned the hard way
that crime doesn’t pay. Mr. Young was sen-
tenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty
to a count of assault with a weapon, follow-
ing a brawl at a house party in February of
this year. Jail wasn’t what he expected.
“Being in jail was absolutely nothing like
I thought it would be,” he told the judge in
court last week.
Mr. Young was in court after serving part
of his sentence. His attitude and conviction
about the horrors of being in jail impressed
the judge enough that he gave him credit
for time served and let him go while placing
him on probation for two years.
Mr. Young would be a great motivational
speaker at any high school. He called the
men who are proud of being in jail “pathetic,”
noting he was “beat up, jumped, for abso-
lutely nothing ... just the way I looked.”
His words are in stark contrast to many
TV shows which portray jail in a stylized way.
My son has recently started watching Prison
Break on Netflix. The now-ended series fol-
lows a man who goes into prison voluntarily
to help his brother escape. It’s slick, stylized
and doesn’t show much of what Mr. Young
experienced in his short time behind bars.
Court coverage is something our read-
ers want more of, according to our recent
readership survey. It isn’t always about the
big murder trials which can last for months.
Mr. Young was in court for 20 minutes and
has had a lasting impact on our newsroom.
I hope he follows his own advice and stays
scared straight.

In court Durham motorists still not getting it
Durham and
provincial police
officials came up with
similarly disappointing
numbers in separate
road safety campaigns in
recent weeks.
And it appears that too many Durham
Region motorists still aren’t buckling up
or giving the road and fellow motorists the
attention they required to operate a mov-
ing, two-tonne piece of machinery.
Over the course of spring’s first long
weekend, among the busiest traffic week-
ends in the province for police personnel,
officers were on the lookout for unsafe
driving practices and those travelling
without a seat-belt.
From March 29 to April 1, OPP charged
almost 11,000 people with Highway Traf-
fic Act offences, of which more than 1,500
were related to seat-belts.
Durham police, meanwhile, issued near-
ly 163 seat-belt violations last week in their
own campaign.
Another 91 motorists were cited for dis-
tracted driving when they were discovered
either chatting or texting on handheld
devices while driving.
Buckling up takes only seconds, as does
temporarily turning off one’s phone. There
is no destination, even those “just around
the corner” that don’t require use of a
seat-belt. Similarly, there is no phone call,
voice message or text that can’t wait until
the driving is done.
According to the OPP, at least eight traf-
fic deaths so far this year were attributed
to the absence of a seat-belt. In 2012, 71
people were killed in crashes in which the
lack of a seat-belt was identified as a fac-
tor.
When it comes to buckling up, drivers
must also remember they are responsi-
ble for ensuring everyone under age 16 is
wearing a seat-belt or in a child car seat.
While the majority of Ontarians regu-
larly do wear seat-belts, the eight per who
don’t represent more than 600,000 people,
according to the Ministry of Transporta-
tion. For every one per cent increase in
seat-belt use, five lives are saved, it reports.
And anyone who has been in even a minor
collision knows the difference a seat-belt
can make.
Turn your phones off (or invest in a
hands-free device) when you’re behind
the wheel. Make sure you are properly
belted in, and ensure that your passengers
are too.
Police will be out in force again -- here
at home with DRPS and on the provincial
highways with the OPP -- to look for viola-
tors. But it’s not really about levying fines,
is it? It’s about taking full responsibility for
yourself and your passengers, and in shar-
ing the road safely with others.

Flying the
me-first skies
I flew to Edmonton this past weekend.
It’s been a little over a year since I was last
on a plane but, like riding a bike, or falling
down a flight of stairs, it all comes back to
you pretty quickly.
Don’t get me wrong. I like the ‘being up
in the air’ part of flying. There’s still enough
of the kid in me that inevitably I end up
pressing my nose to the window and utter-
ing a goofily audible ‘Coooool’ whenever
the wheels lift off the runway and 870,000
pounds of aluminum and steel are sud-
denly and stunningly airborne. I never get
tired of that. Who could? But, frankly, you
can have the rest of the experience.
Whenever I’m disrobing for security for
instance; taking my belt off, removing my
shoes, getting my palms swabbed and hav-
ing a complete stranger rifle through my
personal belongings, I always experience
a wonderfully ironic moment. I picture
George W. Bush on the deck of that aircraft
carrier in 2003, declaring ‘Mission Accom-
plished’. Really, George? This is mission
accomplished? This is a win? Sure doesn’t
feel like one.
The other unfortunate thing about flying
is that one has to do it with other people.
A lot of other people. The whole process
would be so much more enjoyable if they
weren’t there. I don’t think I’d even mind
the security hassle if I were the only one on
the plane. I’d strip down naked and waltz
through the metal detectors if I knew it was
just going to be me and the cabin crew. I
know this all sounds terribly jaded, but the
thing is, I always arrive at the gate hoping
for the best. Hoping against hope that this
time, this one time, it will be different. This
time people will behave with grace, gener-
osity and consideration for others. Inevita-
bly though, when that pre-boarding call is
announced for those in need of assistance,
or those travelling with young children, I
will see the businessman in the Armani suit
and the silly Bluetooth thing stuck in his
ear wedging his oily self to the front of the
line. I will roll my eyes as I watch late arriv-
als completely ignore the long queue that
has patiently formed and instead blithely
become the head of their own new line,
coming in from the side and always several
yards ahead of me. And you can stare dag-
gers at these dopes until you’re blue in the
face. They are masters of no eye contact.
What they can’t see, can’t hurt them.
Finally, I will close my eyes and breathe
slowly and deeply while I and a hundred
others behind me watch as the clown with
a carry-on the size of a steamer trunk tries
to cram it into an overhead bin half its size.
Terrific. Thanks for coming out.
Once seated, the insanity continues with
the cabin steward’s pre-take off panto-
mime. Could it really be possible that, in
2013, there is an adult on board who still
does not know how to work a seat belt?
Why not spend that time providing us with
some really relevant instruction? Like how
to share the arm rest? How to open a pack-
et of nuts without having them explode all
over you and your seatmate? How to use
the washroom without leaving it looking
like a Turkish prison? How to be kind and
considerate? Master some of those things
and then maybe we’ll talk about mission
accomplished.

Stiff Singapore tolls
and taxes tame traffic
SINGAPORE -- So you think the proposed
taxes and tolls to raise funds for transit in the
GTA are too severe?
You might want to check out what is hap-
pening in Singapore. This prosperous island
state has the distinction of being the first city
in the world to install electronic tolls on city
streets and expressways. Add to that the
onerous taxes you have to pay just to own a
car. The result? A city where getting around
is far easier than you could possibly imagine
for a metropolis of five million. That means
Singapore has about as many people as
the GTA. I can attest that the difference in
traffic congestion is about as stark as night
and day. In off-peak hours, Singapore traffic
runs quite smoothly with few long waits. Dur-
ing rush hour, there is a steady stream but it
moves and is nothing like the nightmares of
the 401, QEW or DVP.
The toll system -- called Electronic Road
Pricing (ERP) -- is based on the same tech-
nology for payment as used on the 407.
Electronic messages spell out toll rates
at any specific time. Sensibly, the toll rate
changes depending on the time of day, with
the highest imposed at rush hour. And toll
rates vary depending on the amount of usual
congestion at a particular location. A trip
through the heart of downtown and out a bit
might cost the equivalent of $12 Cdn at rush
hour and $1.75 Cdn during lunchtime. For
those in taxis, the toll is added to the fare.
In toll zones, traffic has decreased about
13 per cent and average road speeds have
increased by 20 per cent. Transit officials say
car-pooling has increased and hours of peak
traffic have diminished. As for owning a car,
Singapore makes it as expensive as pos-
sible. Imported vehicles face a 41-per cent
duty. Then you have to bid at an auction to
get a permit and once it is first registered,
you have to pay another tax of 150 per cent
of the car’s market value. The goal is to limit
the annual increase in the number of cars to
three per cent. Singapore clearly decided to
do something about traffic congestion.
While the means are surely open to
debate, the end result is impressive.

of the board of Torstar Corporation

Guest column
Gridlock
behind the lens
I’ve always loved the Canada Goose, the flying V forma-
tion , the steady chorus of honking, they are truly a sym-
bol of this fine country. I was at another assignment near
the Oshawa lakefront when I spotted this lone goose skim-
ming across the water headed for the harbour. I loved the
position of the bird against the water with its wing tips
just slightly above the small waves. The image was slightly
backlit which gave it almost a painterly feel . I wonder if
Robert Bateman is accepting any photos for future works,
we could make a fortune together.

And what’s good for Delta
is good for the communi-
ty, as gaming at the bingo
hall benefits 60 area chari-
ties. “I would bet a lot of
people who play bingo
have no idea they’re giv-
ing money to charity,”
said Vikki Gilmour, vice-
president of the Pickering
Charitable Gaming Asso-
ciation and a representa-
tive of Durham Hospice.
“We wouldn’t be able to
do what we do without
these funds.”

Charities’ volunteers work
two-hour shifts at the bingo
hall throughout the month,
and the charity proceeds are
then divvied up among the
partner organizations depend-
ing on the time donated.
Under the new partnership,
25 per cent of gaming pro-
ceeds go to the charities, while
the hall gets 47 per cent, the
City of Pickering three per cent
and OLG takes the balance.
While it’s less money than
the charities were bringing in
before the new partnership
-- $1,500 to $1,700 a month
compared to $2,700 to $3,200
a month, according to Ms.
Gilmour -- members of the
association expect the num-
bers to pick up as e-bingo
becomes more established. In
addition, they are not respon-
sible for expenses they had
under the previous agreement,
which included paying rent to
the bingo hall.
“There are a lot of kinks to be
worked out so we expect it to
take a couple years,” said Linda
Mair, president of the associa-
tion. “The program is great for
us though because the more
the community plays, the bet-
ter it is for charities.”

Former Ajax swim coach
picks up
pieces
Trent McNicol is
trying to piece his
life together after
Crown drops sex
charges against
him after a year
Peter Small
newsroom@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Trent McNicol was
an internationally respected swim
coach with a passion for his job.
He took pride in motivating some
600 athletes over 19 years, more
than half of them female, includ-
ing big names like Pan American
Games silver and bronze medallist
Jen Beckberger.
But his life came crashing down
last April when Durham police
called him to their Oshawa sta-
tion and charged him with sex-
ual assault and sexual exploita-
tion. The complainant was a girl
who alleged the offences occurred
when she was between 10 and 12,
starting in 2005.
On Friday, Crown prosecu-
tor Lori Anne Turner dropped
the charges against the 43-year-
old married father of two young
women in the Oshawa courthouse,
saying there was no reasonable
prospect of conviction.
“To have it behind me is great,”
Mr. McNicol said in an interview.
“But I now have to spend the next
-- who knows? -- six months, 20
years, rebuilding what I once had.”
When he was charged, with no
criminal record or previous allega-
tions, Mr. McNicol was held for 24
hours and granted bail under con-
ditions including avoiding plac-
es where children under 16 might
gather. That meant parks -- and
swimming pools.
He had to temporarily leave his
family behind in Whitby and live
in his native Brantford under the
supervision of his father.
Durham police issued a news
release with his photo, inviting
other victims to come forward.
None ever did.
The story was splashed all over
the news.
Mr. McNicol lost his job of six
years with the Whitby Dolphins
Swim Club.
Swim Canada, Swim Ontario,
the Coaching Association of Can-
ada and the Canadian Swimming
Coaches and Teachers Association
all summarily revoked his creden-
tials.
Word in the tight international
swimming world got out imme-
diately. Within 10 hours he got
calls from friends in Florida and
England. Hundreds of colleagues,
pupils and parents wrote offering
their support, he said.
The stakes were devastatingly
high. If convicted, he faced two
to four years in jail besides being
labelled a sex offender for life, his
lawyer, Daniel Brown, told him.
“He always steadfastly main-
tained his innocence even when
the Crown attorney came forward
with plea bargains with much
reduced sentences,” Mr. Brown
said. “Those were outright rejected
as they should have been.”
Mr. McNicol turned to renovat-
ing houses for a living.
As a coach, he had learned to be
careful, and protect himself from
situations where any such allega-
tions could arise. This was baf-
fling.
“It’s a rollercoaster,” he said.

Durham police top
national crime
clearance stats
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- For Durham’s police chief, the
complex question of dealing with serious
crime comes down to a simple solution:
Letting cops do their jobs.
“It’s about giving your people author-
ity and responsibility. They know what
they need to do,” Chief Mike Ewles said in
response to a Statistics Canada report that
ranks Durham first in the nation for clear-
ing serious crimes.
“We are putting the right resources into
the incidents that have the highest impact
on victims,” said the chief.
StatsCan said in its Police Resources in
Canada 2012 report that Durham ranks first
among Canadian police services in weight-
ed clearance rate. The statistic measures
a service’s efficiency in clearing the most
serious crimes, either through arrest or
alternative avenues.
The statistic -- Durham’s weighted clear-
ance rate is 49 per cent -- is determined by
measuring how effectively a service han-
dles serious crimes, such as robbery or
homicide. The more grievous the offence,
the more weight it’s given for the analysis.
It’s the second year in a row Durham has
ranked first; the previous two years the ser-
vice was rated second in the country.
“It’s a measurement of how you solve
the more serious crimes,” Durham police
spokesman Dave Selby said.
Durham has achieved its clearance rate
in spite of the fact it’s at about
the middle of the pack
in terms of officer-to-
population ratio
when compared
to similar com-
munities. Dur-
ham, with a
complement
of 923 offi-
cers, has a
ratio of 146
officers per
100,000 resi-
dents, com-
pared to 203 per
100,000 in Toron-
to and 167 cops per
100,000 residents in
Barrie.
The results have been achieved during
a four-year period when the number of
cops on the beat has remained static, Chief
Ewles noted. He said that although overall
crime statistics have decreased, the service
still has to keep track of trends and respond
accordingly.

Gens defensive with first pick
OHL team takes
defenceman to spark
power play in future
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The way things were going
Sunday night at the General Motors Centre,
it’s a wonder the Oshawa Generals didn’t
try to sneak Mitchell Vande Sompel onto
the ice.
Vande Sompel was one of seven new
members of the Generals, selected the
day before in the Ontario Hockey League
draft, who accepted an invitation to take
in the team’s playoff game against the Bar-
rie Colts. What they saw was a troublesome
4-0 loss in which the Generals’ power play
continued to struggle, in no small part due
to lacking a true quarterback type on the
blue-line.
The Generals hope Vande Sompel can
become that player, in due time of course.
“I think he’s a mature young man, he was
a captain in London on his midget team,
obviously he’s a leader there, so I think
there’s some strong character traits and
a high skill level,” GM Jeff Twohey said of
Vande Sompel, who was taken 14th over-
all. “We think he’s a guy, moving forward at
some point, whether it’s next year or soon
after, will run our power play. He’s a skilled,
puck-moving defenceman. He’s not huge
in stature, but he plays hard and plays with
poise and skill.”
Vande Sompel, who’s five-foot-10 and
170 pounds, is the first defenceman cho-
sen by the Generals in the first round since
Michael Del Zotto went second overall in
2006. Being from London, Vande Sompel
admitted to being a Knights fan -- right up
until Saturday, at any rate.
“That’s all you see is the Knights, so obvi-
ously I’m a fan, but after being drafted by
Oshawa, I’ve got a new favourite team,”
said Vande Sompel, whose stats with Lon-
don Gold last season are listed as 9-23-32
in 23 games in the OHL draft media guide.
“To hear my name called to Oshawa, it’s an
honour. They’re an unbelievable organi-
zation with historic people going through
here, so I’m excited.”
Vande Sompel and the team’s second-
round pick, Sam Harding of Newmarket,
have a decent chance to step in and con-
tribute right away next season for the Gen-
erals, who are likely to lose several key play-
ers.
There were some familiar surnames taken
by the Generals Saturday, including, in the
eighth round, goalie Jeremy Brodeur, son of
New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur.
Chase Pearson, the last pick of the fourth
round, is the son of former NHLer Scott
Pearson, while Stephen Templeton, taken
in the sixth round, is the grandson of leg-
endary OHL coach Bert Templeton.
The Generals selected two players from
Durham Region, Oshawa goalie Shawn
Mabley in the 12th round and Ajax defence-
man Matthew McConnach in the 15th, and
six from the United States, including Bro-
deur, Pearson and, in the 13th round, for-
ward Jared Domin, who came all the way
from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to take in
Sunday’s game.
Lots of local
talent selected
in OHL draft
DURHAM -- As usual, Durham Region
didn’t go unnoticed by OHL teams during
Saturday’s annual draft.
Twenty-three young prospects from the
area were selected.
Leading the way in the first round were
a couple of Whitby Wildcats, as team-
mates Hayden McCool, a centre, was taken
sixth overall by the Niagara IceDogs, while
defenceman Justin Lemcke was picked by
the Belleville Bulls with the 18th pick.
The top goaltender selected was Pick-
ering’s Troy Timpano (Toronto Titans),
picked in the second round by the Sudbury
Wolves, while Jake Bricknell (Central Ontar-
io Wolves) of Port Perry was also a second-
round selection, taken by the Bulls.
In the third round, Marcus Crawford
(South Central Coyotes) of Ajax went to the
Saginaw Spirit, while Ryan Sarris (Whitby
Wildcats) of Brooklin was taken by the Ice-
Dogs, and Ryan Heeps (Oshawa Minor
Generals) of Oshawa was grabbed by the
Owen Sound Attack.
Bryce Yetman (Whitby Wildcats) of
Whitby led off the fourth round for locals,
taken by the Plymouth Whalers, while Bel-
leville selected Adam Laishraim (Whitby
Wildcats) of Ashburn.
Lucas Clarke (Central Ontario Wolves) of
Port Perry was selected by Owen Sound in
the fifth round, as was Evan Cormier (Clar-
ington Toros) of Bowmanville, who will be
heading to North Bay to join the Brampton
Battalion when they relocate.
In the seventh round, Austin Ulett (Cen-
tral Ontario Wolves) of Port Perry was
taken by the Peterborough Petes, and in the
eighth round, Justen Long (Whitby Wild-
cats) of Oshawa was drafted by the Guel-
ph Storm, and Dallas Baird (Ajax-Pickering
Raiders), of Pickering went to Belleville.
Passed over last year, Justin Bean (Uxbridge
Bruins Jr. C) of Pickering was selected by
the Bulls in the ninth round.
Other selections included, 10th round:
Matthew Carroll (Whitby Wolves), Whitby,
Niagara IceDogs; 11th round: Jake Smith
(South Central Coyotes) Pickering, Missis-
sauga Steelheads, Will Scott (Whitby Wild-
cats), Whitby, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds;
12th round: Shawn Mabley (Oshawa
Minor Generals), Oshawa, Oshawa Gen-
erals, Quinn Eden (Markham Waxers),
Uxbridge, Barrie Colts; 14th round: Brady
Baker (Central Ontario Wolves), Uxbridge,
London Knights; 15th round: Rory Milne
(Oshawa Minor Generals), Oshawa, Sud-
bury Wolves, Matthew McConnach (Don
Mills Flyers), Ajax, Oshawa Generals, Wil-
liam Ward (Whitby Wolves), Whitby, Bel-
leville Bulls.
OSHAWA -- Mitchell Vande Sompel (right), a defenceman from London, was the first
pick of the Oshawa Generals during Saturday’s draft. Sam Harding, a centre from
Newmarket, was taken in the second round. Jason LieBregts / MetroLand
Ajax swimmers shine bright at NCAA meets
AJAX -- Five of Ajax Swimming’s top products
competed in their respective NCAA Division
1 Conference Championships.
Darelle Cowley, a freshman at Georgia Tech
University in Atlanta, competed in her first
ACC Championships. Cowley placed first in
the C Final of the 200m breastroke and com-
peted on two relays for the Yellow Jackets.
Julien Dodu, a freshman at East Carolina
University, competed in the C-USA Confer-
ence and was a finalist in all three of his indi-
vidual events. Dodu finished sixth in the 500
freestyle, 4th in the 400IM and reached the
podium in the 1650 yard freestyle, winning a
silver medal.
Michelle Fleming, in her junior year at
Texas Christian University, competed at the
Big 12 Swimming and Diving Champion-
ships. Fleming swam to a third in the B Final
of the 100 yard breastroke and finished 11th
overall. Fleming also qualified for the very
competitive A Final in her 200 breastroke
and placed eighth.
Senior Christine Raininger wrapped up
her college swimming career with three
strong swims at the Mountain West Confer-
ence Swimming and Diving Championships.
Raininger was second in the C Final of the
200IM, placing 18th overall. She also won the
B final of the 200 fly, finishing in ninth posi-
tion overall. Raininger was fifth in her top
event, the 400IM, to finish her meet and her
career in style.
Competing in the Big 10 Conference Cham-
pionships was sophomore Devin Ste. Marie,
who opened the meet with an appearance in
the C final of the 500 yard freestyle. The next
day, she won the B Final and finished ninth in
the 100m Butterfly. Ste. Marie saved the best
for last, reaching the podium in the 200m
butterfly and finishing in second place. Her
time of 1:56.48 also qualified her for the pres-
tigious NCAA Championships. Ste. Marie is
the first Ajax female athlete in over a decade
to qualify for NCAAs.

In loving memory of Victorine Chesney,
Born November 12th, 1918
If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for us,
Place them in Victorine’s arms
and tell her we appreciated her so much.
Tell her that we love her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
We do it every day,
But there’s an ache within our hearts
That will never go away.
Greatly missed by her Children,
Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren
& extended family.

WILSON, Lindsay Margaret - Lindsay was
born 30 July 1986, Died tragically and
senselessly on April 5, 2013 at the beautiful
young age of 26 years. Beloved daughter
and best friend of Alison Irons of Ajax,
Ontario and David Wilson of Glencairn,
Ontario; cherished stepdaughter of Greg
Watson of Ajax. Closest friend of her
grieving brother Andrew of Toronto. Adored
granddaughter of Stan and Margaret
Christmas of Kingston, and Kenneth Irons
of St. Mary's; beloved grandniece of Ed and
Norah Wright of San Luis Obispo,
California, niece of Sheila Harrison of North Vancouver, B.C., Cyndi
and James Lang, Arroyo Grande, California, Phillip and Lana Wright of
Long Beach, California, Leona and James Cooper of Salt Lake City,
Utah, and Chimuka Irons of London, Ontario. Cherished cousin of
Kenneth and Jordana Irons of London. Predeceased by her uncle
Graham Irons. Lindsay was a compassionate, kind and beautiful soul
pursuing the vocation she found in herself at the age of 8 - working in
developmental and social services with vulnerable adults, youth and
children, while completing her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Child and
Family Studies at Nipissing University's Muskoka Campus. She had
hoped this year to be accepted into the University of Windsor's MSW
program, had so much to give this world and had her whole life ahead
of her. A fierce advocate of the rights of people with intellectual and
developmental disabilities, she was a valued and beloved employee of
Community Living Kingston after graduation as a Developmental
Services Worker from St. Lawrence College and later, between
university semesters at Nipissing. She loved her work and her
"participants" at Kingston Community Options passionately and made
many friends there among co-workers and the families she helped. It is
a tragedy that she was robbed of her life when she herself was such an
unselfish, loving, compassionate and gentle person. Lindsay loved
above all her Mum, her Dad, her brother Andrew, her Nanny after
whom she was named, her Grandpa and Grandad, her stepdad Greg,
her Auntie Sheila, her dog Ethan, and all of her cherished and special
friends whom we can't name here because she would be mad if we
forgot a single one! You know who you are! She loved taking photos of
her friends, learning new things, dancing and listening to music, and
being outdoors in the sunshine as she was on the day she died. She
wanted to learn to fly, travel the world and have children one day.
Deepest gratitude forever to Lindsay's girlfriend Brittany, who was with
her when her life was taken from her, to Bracebridge OPP, especially
Detective Constable Allen and Constable Bigley, Bracebridge EMS
Paramedics and staff at South Muskoka Memorial Hospital who tried so
hard to save Lindsay's life. Deepest thanks as well to friends at Ontario
Shared Services, Government of Ontario for their love and support to
Lindsay's Mum on the day she got this terrible news while at work, and
since. In lieu of flowers, donations by cheque to Community Living
Kingston in Lindsay's memory would be the best way we know to
honour her and the work she so believed in and may be made at the
funeral home or online at www.barnesmemorialfuneralhome.com.
Visitation will be held at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME,
5295 Thickson Rd. N., Whitby, Ontario 905-655-3662 on Thursday April
11th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. A tribute to Lindsay's life will follow in the
chapel at 6:00 for her family and friends in the GTA. For family and
friends in Kingston, the family will receive friends at the ROBERT J. REID & SONS FUNERAL HOME, "The Chapel on the Corner", 309
Johnson Street (at Barrie Street), Kingston on Sunday,
April 14 from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m., prior to a service to be
held in the chapel at 2:00 o'clock.
www.reidfuneralhome.com We will also be making a
scrapbook in memory of Lindsay, so please bring any
mementos or special photos you would like to contribute to
the scrapbook.
