The Region of Durham is refusing to reimburse him. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Watermain breaks; Pickering man fumes Resident fights for compensation; Region says it is not liable for damages MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When Doug Pratt and his wife woke to the sound of thumping on their roof, they thought a surprise hailstorm was blowing through. It wasn’t until Mr. Pratt got up to shower on the morning of Jan. 3 and discovered the house had no water that he realized it may have been something more. “When I went outside, it looked like a sand pit,” Mr. Pratt said of the scene, where water, dirt and gravel had flooded the property from a broken watermain across the street, filling all three of the family vehicles with water and shattering the windshields of two. “Every time it thaws, I get the Shop-Vac and I’m still getting water out,” he said, noting he has already pumped more than 50 gallons from his 1998 Chrysler. Mr. Pratt submitted a claim of $6,062.60 to the Region of Durham to recoup an estimated $5,462.60 in repairs to the Chrysler, which was not covered by insurance, and $600 in insurance deductible costs. Mr. Pratt puts the total amount of damage caused to his property by the broken watermain, including that covered by insurance, at more than $21,000. “I’m not looking to make money here, I just want my car back to the way it was,” he explained. “I shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket and be financially respon- sible for their watermain breaking.” Later that month, Mr. Pratt was informed by the Region that it does not pay claims unless there is proven negligence. Since an internal investigation found maintenance on the watermain was up to date, Mr. Pratt’s claim was rejected.

On Monday, April 8 at around 3:35 p.m., a 33-year-old female was standing next to her parked vehicle when she was hit by a Hyundai that was backing up. The victim was pinned between the two vehicles and suffered minor inju- ries. The female driver of the Hyundai fled the scene. The incident happened in a commer- cial parking lot on Kingston Road West in Ajax. The victim reported that a white male driver of a late model Astro panel van had witnessed the incident and had shouted at the fleeing driver. The witness also left the scene. It’s believed there was an adult female pas- senger in the Astro van. Durham Regional Police officers locat- ed the driver of the Hyundai and arrest- ed her without incident. Gaveena Navachandrabala, 28, of Feint Drive in Ajax, has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle and failing to remain at the scene of an acci- dent. She was also issued a Provincial Offence Notice for failing to report an accident under the Highway Traffic Act. The accused was released on an appear- ance notice. Police would like the male witness to provide a statement regarding the acci- dent. Anyone with information regarding the witness is asked to contact Consta- ble Jeff Vanderburg at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2521. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 3 AP Solid Wood Canadian made Darryl Sherman 3rd Generation Owner 20 Centre St. N.

The awards haul included four first-place awards, seven second-place awards, eight third-place awards and seven honourable mentions. “It’s wonderful to see so many of our staff recognized for their skills,” said editor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt. The special section Night and Day, which provided in- depth coverage of a 24-hour period in local hospitals, was awarded first place for Best Special Section (circula- tion over 36,000.) “The entire editorial staff had a part to play in our sec- ond annual Night and Day book, which was named Best Special Section,” Ms. Burghardt said. “It was a great team project that would not have been possible without the generous support of Lak- eridge Health and the Rouge Valley Health System, who opened their doors to us for 24 hours.” Other first-place winners included Celia Klemenz for Best Feature Photo and Best Photojournalism (circula- tion 8,001 to 16,000) and Ron Pietroniro for Best News Photo (circulation 16,001 to 36,000.) Managing editor Mike Johnston was honoured with a second-place award in the Editor of the Year category. “I’m especially happy for managing editor Mike John- ston who had a second-place finish in the prestigious Editor of the Year category,” Ms. Burghardt said. “Mike, like many of our journalists, is a graduate of Durham College’s journalism program and does the college proud by coaching our journal- ists, who win numerous awards, year after year.” The Local Media Association Editorial Contest is open to members from across North America and recognizes editorial excellence in six different circulation classes that separate daily newspapers from non-dailies. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 4 P AUTO SERVICE SPECIALS BROCK ROAD AND 401 PICKERING MON-FRI 7:30AM - 8:00PMSATURDAY 7:30-6 • SUNDAY 9-6 905-686-2309 On approved credit.

Councillors urge Region to co-operate with cell providers on water system upgrade project Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Councillors are urging the Region of Durham to give due con- sideration to requests from cellphone providers to share a series of new tow- ers required for a planned water system upgrade. The Region is updating all 65 of its water supply sites to a new computerized system that will keep track of all levels and moni- toring. The project is aimed at improving operations, monitoring and system effi- ciency, and it will include a communica- tions system linking all the sites. “We need the ability to record data in real time and that involves installing our own towers,” said John Presta, director of environmental services for the Region, during a presentation to councillors on April 8. “This upgrade is to ensure we have a safe and secure water supply system in terms of round-the-clock monitoring and improved standardization.” Councillor Kevin Ashe encouraged the Region to work with area cell provid- ers to co-locate technology on its tow- ers to reduce the number needed in City neighbourhoods, while Coun. Jennifer O’Connell asked that they work with res- idents regarding any requests for modi- fications in colour or design. Mr. Pres- ta assured them the Region was open to both. Councillors voted to support four pro- posed towers located at 2105 Rosebank Rd., 1611 Pepperwood Gate, 583 Eyer Dr. and 1610 Dersan St. A final vote will be held at the April 22 council meeting. New zoning creates business opportunities on Sheppard Avenue PICKERING -- Councillors voted to approve a new zoning amendment to allow the landlord of 720 Sheppard Ave. more options for finding tenants. The commercial plaza has suffered from vacancy for several years, and the City was approached by Navraj Properties Inc. to expand zoning on the facility to include a business office, convenience store, per- sonal service shop and professional office. Resident Sylvia Spencer expressed con- cern to councillors regarding a possible convenience store given the plaza’s close proximity to Dunbarton High School. “The Durham District School Board gave notice to the owner that a convenience store may create issues related to loiter- ing given its proximity to Dunbarton,” Ms. Spencer explained. “If I had my choice, I’d nix the convenience store altogether.” Councillors voted to support the zoning amendment with the convenience store option deleted. A final vote will be held at the April 22 council meeting. TESTING OF THE PUBLIC ALERTING SYSTEM The City of Pickering DURHAM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE PUBLIC NOTICE The Regional Municipality of Durham will be conducting sound coverage tests of the public alerting siren system, installed within the three-kilometre area around the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The testing is a continuation of sound tests that took place the week of April 1, to ensure compliance with provincial standards. The system provides a means of warning residents, in the unlikely event of a nuclear emergency at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The testing of the public alerting siren system will take place throughout the week of April 15, during regular daytime business hours. Sounding of the sirens may occur for up to three minutes. Individuals near the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station are not required to take any action upon hearing the sirens. THIS IS ONLY A TEST.

Police officer recalls smoke, flames after rushing into Pickering house fire Two police officers helped firefighters evacuate residents from blaze Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Durham police officer Rob Sottile says he was just doing his job when he went into a Pickering home to wake its sleep- ing residents as flames spread in the build- ing. Constable Sottile and Const. Matt Roy arrived at a house fire at 612 Cognac Cres. recently, mere seconds after Pickering Fire Services, and immediately set to work check- ing to see if anyone was in the house. “You could see the smoke and flames but we didn’t know if anyone was inside,” Const. Sottile recalls, noting a basement tenant awoke to the officer’s pounding on the door and informed them that two other residents were asleep upstairs.“We went upstairs to get them up and you could see the flames com- ing in through the back upstairs windows. The residents luckily were asleep in the front bedroom so we ended up waking them up and got everyone outside.” The fire, which started in an enclosed deck and sunroom area at the back of the home, spread to the house through the roof, enter- ing the attic and then spreading to the bed- rooms. Const. Sottile describes the scene in the house as “hot, smoky and flames,” but said he and Const. Roy didn’t hesitate to enter the house, despite not having any specialized training in dealing with fires. “It’s a spur of the moment thing, if you know someone is inside you’re going to go get them,” he explained, noting he’s had to help evacuate residents from burning build- ings four to five times over the course of his career. “I don’t know if you ever get used to it but I would definitely do it again. It’s wasn’t much of a big deal for us, we don’t really think about it.” Steve Fowlds, fire inspector with Pickering Fire Services, estimated the damage caused by the blaze at $300,000. “Although the home is not habitable most of the belongings inside should be fine,” he said, crediting the quick response of fire services with minimizing damage inside the home. A single cause of the fire was not determined, but Mr. Fowlds said the fire was not suspicious and the inves- tigation has been closed. email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com Bingo in the 21st century still helping charities du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 6 A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

And the future looks a lot brighter for local charities than it did a few years ago. E-bingo has re-vitalized Pickering’s Delta Bingo Hall where, as at many bingo halls, the game seemed to be dying a slow death. It just wasn’t keeping up with the times, with what people wanted on a night out. But two years ago we told you how Delta was chosen as a pilot site for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s Chari- table Bingo and Gaming Revitalization Initiative. The idea was to increase atten- dance and attract new customers by updat- ing older games like bingo and introducing new game options. Translation? Bingo and bingo halls need- ed to make the leap into the 21st century. “Bingo as a whole has really been strug- gling,” Cam Johnstone, owner of Delta Bingo, told us in 2011. “What’s happening is we’ve failed to modernize and diversify. While our cur- rent customers are happy, we haven’t been offering enough new things to drive new customers in and that’s what I hope this new initiative will achieve.” Mission accomplished, at least partly. Two years later, the partnership between bingo halls like Delta and the OLG seems to be working well. Delta now features new digital screens that offer patrons the choice of playing a virtual bingo card and play- on-demand games and TapTix machines which bring break-open Nevada-style tick- ets into the digital age by dispensing them through a slot-style gaming experience. For those who want to play old-school bingo, that’s still available. And while many people in the commu- nity might not be aware of it, the more successful bingo is in the community, the more charities in Pickering, Ajax and beyond benefit. Under the OLG partner- ship, one quarter of the gaming proceeds goes to local charities. Among those who benefit from Delta pro- ceeds are groups such as the United Way, the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, the Skate Canada Pickering Skating Club, the Pickering Museum Village Foundation and many more. The charities are earning less than they did in the former arrangement but there are still “a lot of kinks to be worked out,” says Linda Mair, president of the Pickering Charitable Gaming Association. Chari- ties expect funds to increase once e-bingo becomes more established. But bingo is coming back and seems to have a solid future in Pickering. And that’s the best possible news for the many charities in the community that benefit and, with the money they receive, enrich the lives of Pickering residents. -- Pickering News Advertiser Everyone should share the pain To the editor: Re: ‘Provincial coffers empty: who knew?’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, March 25, 2013. Thank goodness the letter writer has cleared this all up. Now I understand why teachers single-handedly are required to solve Ontario’s financial issues. Apparently the education sector is the sole cause of the problem; at least that’s how it sounds in the recent letter. It’s not gas-powered electrical plants being closed, nor Ornge, nor bailouts for automakers; it’s the teachers. I am a teacher with 23 years of experience and at the top of the pay grid, but I am not on the sunshine list. Several public sectors continue to get increases and bank sick days. All of my sick days are gone, some of which were earned 20 years ago but have been hijacked by the pirates at Queen’s Park. It seems only teachers must solve the Liberals’ abuse of the taxpayers’ trust. And, no, I didn’t vote Liberal. I supported Mike Harris twice, who, incidentally, unlike both Bob Rae and Dalton McGuinty, did not violate teachers’ rights to collectively bar- gain a contract. Let’s be fair, teachers have been alone in the public sector’s rescue of the public piggy bank, shouldn’t everyone share the pain? Mark Denby Bowmanville Fundraising bikers are kind, considerate To the editor: Re: ‘This reader not impressed with rum- bling ride’, letter to the editor, durhamre- gion.com, March 29. This letter took our breath away. Has the letter writer ever been to Trenton at the start of the ride with these so-called irre- sponsible noisy bikers? We l l , w e hav e, a n d t h e y are nothing more than kind and considerate guys and gals, who donate huge amounts of money, thrown into the ‘money jar’ to go to the families of our fall- en heroes. Has he seen the mural on the side of the truck, painted with dignity and emotion of every one of our lost boys and girls? Maybe he should talk to some of the families as we have. These brutish bikers, as the let- ter writer refers to them, have heart, more than we can say him. We have a grandson in the military who has served in Afghanistan, so we have stood on our Cobbledick Bridge with enormous pride. And we stand there again when the bikers come through every year, and say thank you. God bless you all.

The Region has not breached its duty of care, and as such is not negligent.” Mr. Pratt’s appeal of the decision was rejected on the same grounds. “While the Region of Durham is respon- sible for the construction and mainte- nance of the watermain, there was no way the Region could know this break would occur,” said Nancy Taylor, chairwoman of the board for the Insurance Pool, in a let- ter to Mr. Pratt of April 3 informing him his appeal had been lost. “There is no history of watermain breaks in your area and the watermain was well within its life expectancy. This was an unfortunate, unforeseeable event.” Mr. Pratt compares the situation to what would happen if a well-cared-for tree in his backyard blew onto a neighbour’s roof during a windstorm. “Who would be responsible in that case? I would,” he said. No one at the Region of Durham was available for comment at press time. Mr. Pratt says he is considering options for next steps, but wants residents to be aware of the Region’s policy. “This is what you get for paying your taxes and minding your own business,” he said. “I have no way to tell if they were neg- ligent or not except by what they tell me, and what’s the likelihood you’re going to find yourself negligent of something? I don’t care about negligence, I care about responsibility. Their property damaged my property, taking responsibility is the right thing to do.” Q & A Justin O’Brien chosen as legislative page PICKERING -- Justin O’Brien is a 13-year- old student at St. Monica Catholic School in Pickering who recently completed a three- week term as a legislative page at Queen’s Park. He applied for the position in 2012, but because the government prorogued in November of last year, his term was post- poned until this year. He had heard about the program from his mother, who read an article about a former page, and thought it would be a good experience. Q: How does one go about becoming a leg- islative page? A: You have to write an essay about yourself, hand it in, they review it and after a month, they come back with the results ... I also had to get a reference, which I got from my prin- cipal. If you make it in, great. If you don’t, you get two more chances to try. One chance in Grade 7, the other two in Grade 8. Q: What does a page do? A: Deliver water to MPPs, big part was to deliver notes to other MPPs and have them copied. I had to bring leaders water, place books on desks ... I had to take bills, petitions, and motions from MPPs and give them to the Speaker, then take it to the clerks. Q: What did you enjoy the most about being a page? A: Just the experience in general, and meeting new people. It was exciting and fun. I got to meet the Speaker, the Lieutenant-Governor, the head clerk. We also got to play ping-pong every day in the page quarters. Q: What was the most important thing you learned? A: How the Government of Ontario works, how constituents make petitions and the MPPs say the petitions ... basically how Ontario works. Q: Would you recommend the program to other students? A: Totally. To anyone who has the desire to be a page and anyone who can benefit from the experience. Whether you’re up to it or not is up to you. It’s also a nice break from school. PICKERING from page 1 Pickering resident considers options in row with Region Pickering GO station one of first to offer free wifi Service expected to roll out to all stations within a year Tess KalinowsKi newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering residents will be among the first to access wireless Internet (wifi) as GO transit launches the new ser- vice free to customers. GO Transit has made a start on launch- ing the service its electronics-toting com- muters have been demanding, wifi on the transit system. A pilot that allows rid- ers to use wifi was launched April 5 at the Pickering and Clarkson stations. The six-month pilot will include up to eight more stations and three bus termi- nals and, within a year, all 65 GO stations are expected to provide the service. So far the wifi access does not extend to GO trains or buses but the search is still on to find a provider who can offer it free to commuters on the move. “Initially we looked for a wifi solution that would cover trains, buses and sta- tions. We wanted a solution that covered all three. We wanted it to be free to GO and therefore free to our passengers,” said Mary Proc, GO’s vice-president, customer service. But finding a reliable, free service for buses and trains is proving more chal- lenging. “We’re still looking for a solution to cover trains and buses but nothing’s going to stop us from covering stations,” she said. Customer wanting to access the new wifi service can select “IMA wifi at GO” on the network listings that pop up on their tab- lets and other devices. The service is being provided at no charge to GO by IMA Outdoor. Although VIA offers free wifi to its cus- tomers, GO presents a bigger technical challenge, said Ms. Proc. “A typical GO train has 1,800 passengers so there’s an issue of bandwidth that VIA trains don’t have,” she said. A recent survey showed that wifi was the second-most in-demand enhance- ment GO riders were seeking. The first was heated shelters, but that could reflect the survey’s timing in the winter, said Ms. Proc. “We’re always looking for ways to delight our customers. Customers asked us for wifi. We listened,” she said. The other high-demand service rid- ers wanted was refreshments so GO will be piloting vending machines in the next couple of months. Wifi is the third major customer service initiative the transit agency has launched lately. In February, Quiet Zones were intro- duced on the upper levels of Barrie GO trains. By mid-May, GO will know how to move ahead on that initiative, said Proc. In November, the regional transit agen- cy launched its 15-minute money back guarantee so train riders more than 15 minutes late to their destination can claim a refund. PICKERING -- Zach Henderson took advantage of the free wifi currently available at the Pickering GO Station. The station is one of the first to have free wifi for customers as part of a limited pilot launched April 5. ryan pfeiffer / meTroland JUSTIN O’BRIEN du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 8 AP FLYERS THURSDAY APRIL 11,2013 Carrier of the We ek Congratulations Nicholas and Matthew for being our Carriers of the Week. 279 Kingston Rd.E.Ajax 260 Kingston Rd.E.Ajax (in Home Depot) 1105 Kingston Rd.Pickering (in Home Depot) 255 Salem Rd.S.D#1 42 Old Kingston Rd.,Ajax 465 Bayly St.W.#5,Ajax 1889 Brock Rd.#24,Pickering 300 Harwood Ave.S.,Ajax 1995 Salem Rd.N.Ajax 6 Harwood Ave.S.,Ajax Ajax &Pickering Locations8SalemRdSouth Ajax,ON L1S 7T7 To day’s Carriers of the Week are Nicholas and Matthew.

Combined, you will feel far more ener- getic.” Eat the colours of the rainbow With warmer weather comes a new crop of spring fruits and vegetables – and one of the best ways to spring clean your diet is to add colourful produce to your meals. Choose from every colour of the rainbow like fresh or frozen blueberries, purple eggplants and leafy greens to up your intake of essential vitamins and fibre. Enjoy your favourite snacks People often want to shed weight in the spring to look and feel good for bikini season. The good news is eating better does not have to mean feeling deprived. Those who find ways to incorporate the things they love into their diet are more likely to achieve their long-term weight loss goals. It’s all about portion sizes and planning ahead. For example, if you are a soda pop fan, Rutledge suggests mini cans of Coke which have 100 calories or fewer per serving. Craving a burger? Consider keeping calo- ries in check by having a slider, skipping the cheese and then loading it with your favourite vegetable toppings, like lettuce, onions and tomato. Get motivated to exercise Spring-cleaning your diet will not only improve your health, but will also give you more energy and help you sleep better. One of the best ways to take advantage of that new-found energy is to get active outdoors. After all, what better motivation is there to make healthy exercise choices than looking and feeling good under the summer sun?

Pedaling since 1991, Pedal Performance has two locations in the GTA: Vaughan and Pickering, each with an extensive selec- tion of bikes and accessories. Pedal Perfor- mance offers anything from standard tune- ups, professional bike fitting, various infor- mation sessions, clinics and weekly rides leaving from both stores. Whether you are looking for your first bike, custom building a dream machine, or just in to pick a staff member’s brain on the latest technology, the business can help. Mr. Khan has been with Pedal Perfor- mance since the start. Growing up with his father’s love for cycling, Mr. Khan devel- oped a passion for bikes. He enjoys many aspects of cycling from road to mountain. Mr. Khan has watched the industry evolve over the years and is excited to see what the future will bring to cycling. Bicycle knowledge is something that you can’t learn overnight; there are many aspects, starting from different types of bikes, to the large variety of accessories and parts that complete the sport. In this series, we cover the basics for a spring tune-up. Series breakdown: • Monday, April 15: Clean your bike A clean bike extends the life of all its com- ponents, just as a clean car lasts longer. • Tuesday, April 16: Inspecting the brake system Brakes provide control over the speed you travel. They also allow you to manoeu- vre smoothly while turning, riding down hills and avoiding debris or other obsta- cles. Pedal safely with a weekly inspection. • Wednesday, April 17: Wheels and tires Wheels (rims) hold your tires in place and provide stability and smoothness while riding. Check that the wheels spin freely. If a wheel wobbles, this may be fixed by a experienced bicycle mechanic or may need to be replaced. • Thursday, April 18: Inspect the drive- train A bike’s drivetrain includes the pedals, chain, chainring, derailleur and rear wheel cassette. Inspect the drivetrain on a regular maintenance for a smoother ride. • Friday, April 19: Check the cables Cables connect the shifters and brakes on the handlebars to the derailleur and brake pads. For safety reasons and overall main- tenance, it is good to replace cables every two to five years based on use. • Saturday, April 20: Lubricant Coat the chain and other components of the drivetrain with lubricant to help them last longer and work more efficiently. • Friday, April 21: Safety Your bike is a major part of your cycling, however, a large part of it is you. Make sure your helmet fits well and brush up on your road traffic hand signals. Leeanna McLean is the videographer for Metroland Durham Region Media Group.

The event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is Aug. 1 to 4, but all of the camping options offered sold out long ago. Social media sites and Kijiji are full of people wanting to camp at the country music fes- tival, with some offering to pay the entire tab if campers with spots will share their sites. “It is a unique situation because that demand is pretty unprecedented for a second-year festival,” McNevan says in an interview. “There will certainly be enough camp- ing, we believe, to satisfy the demand.” He says there are “multiple options” being considered as Boots and Hearts works with the venue and the municipal- ity. McNevan notes that B and H has a 15-year deal with Canadian Tire Motor- sport Park and he wants something that will not just work this year, but in future years. McNevan says through e-mail and social media, B and H sent out an alert when the RV camping option was running out. He says organizers knew that would prompt an increase in demand -- and did it ever. Within days RV camping was sold out and the same thing happened with tent camp- ing. “It was pretty shocking,” he says. McNevan says as it stands 20,000 camp- ers can be accommodated comfortably at the venue. “We certainly have the plan ready” to increase that number, he says, adding he hopes to make an announcement soon. That’s great new for festival-goers, says Lauri Dwyer, of Tyrone, who lives near the venue and noted the uproar over the lack of camping spots. “It appears that they are now making a genuine effort after all the issues that were raised,” she says. “The members of the community will be pleased to hear this.” Dwyer, who camped out for three days at the event last year, says she “hopes to be doing the same when they open up camp- ing again.” CLARINGTON -- Fans listen to Paul Brandt on Aug. 12, 2012, the final day of last year’s inaugural Boots and Hearts Music Festival at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington.

The Gary Wolff Leadership Award was presented to Robinson, captain of the men’s varsity cross-country running team. The award is presented each year to a student athlete who has demonstrat- ed determination and leadership through balancing sport, community involvement and academic performance. Robinson has been captain of the cross-country team since 2010. He also serves on several committees, includ- ing the Otonabee College cabinet, the Athletics Advisory Committee, and the Varsity Supports Varsity committee. He is also an avid participant in campus rec- reation, playing outdoor competitive soc- cer, inner tube ultimate frisbee and inner tube water polo. His role in campus rec extended to convener and in 2012-13, he was named head convener. Robinson is also a much-loved Trent summer sports camp counselor. Jailyn Joensen tops on the tennis court PICKERING -- Jailyn Joensen had a suc- cessful season on the tennis court. The Pickering resident won a gold medal in girls’ under 14 singles, a silver medal in under 14 mixed doubles and a bronze medal in girls’ under 14 doubles at the provincial championships. She upset the No. 1 and 2 seeds on her way to the singles title, and she is only a first-year, under-14 player. Last year she triple crowned at the provincial championships, winning gold in all three under-12 events. Joensen is set to play in the under- 14 nationals in Saskatoon which begin on April 29. Timpano hungry to play with Wolves St. Mary student was the first goaltender selected in OHL draft Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Troy Timpano vows he will be dedicating his summer attempting to prove the Sudbury Wolves were right. The Pickering resident was selected in the second round, 27th overall, in Satur- day’s OHL draft. But the 15 year old had the distinction of being the first goalie selected among the 299 selections. “As soon as it got to mid-second round, that’s when my heart started pumping,” said Timpano, who was following along on the Internet, and was told by his agent at Newport Sports to expect to be drafted around the same time. “When I saw my name it was a sigh of relief. It was a huge honour to be chosen by the Wolves. “Being chosen in the second round and first goalie overall is exciting and humbling because there were some fantastic goalies in the draft.” Timpano started his minor hockey career with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders the first two seasons, switched over to the Mississau- ga Reps for a year, and has spent the past five seasons with the Toronto Titans. This past season he played in 41 games with an 18-18-5 record, 1.85 goals against average and a .930 save percentage, according to the OHL media guide. One scouting report notes that Timpa- no, “displays the tools that you look for in a potential starting goaltender at the OHL level. A fast, competitive butterfly goal- tender who relies on his positioning and anticipation skills.” Having never been to Sudbury, the Grade 10 student at St. Mary was to get his first taste of the Nickel City earlier this week, heading north for a meet and greet with the organization and media. After that, it’s down to business with a summer of training in anticipation of mak- ing a strong enough impression to crack the Wolves roster coming out of training camp in the fall. “I’m going into the summer and training camp with the mindset of I’m going to do whatever it takes to crack the lineup,” he said. “My focus is on making the team. I do have a shot, I believe, being drafted fairly high as a goaltender. “I do believe I do have a spot on this team but I have to prove myself to get the spot. I’m going to have to work the hardest I’ve ever worked.” TORONTO -- Pickering’s Troy Timpano, who played for the Toronto Titans minor midg- et team last season, was the first goalie chosen in the 2013 Ontario Hockey League draft. He went in the second round, 27th overall, to the Sudbury Wolves. Photo By aaron Bell / ohl Images Generals swept away by Barrie Colts BrIan mcnaIr bmcnair@durahmregion.com OSHAWA -- The series was over pretty much as soon as it had begun, as it turns out. The Oshawa Generals were never able to recover from a staggering Game 1 loss in Barrie, and were swept in four straight by the Colts in the second round of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs. The Colts brought an end to Oshawa’s sea- son with a 4-2 decision Tuesday night in front of a small and subdued crowd of 3,382 at the General Motors Centre. But, the fatal blow may have come three games earlier, when the Generals were poised to steal a rare win out of the Barrie Molson Centre, only to let a 3-1 lead disap- pear in the final five minutes and lose 4-3 in overtime. The way his team exited quietly after that left a sour taste in the mouth of Generals’ first-year coach D.J. Smith. “That’s probably the most disappointing thing as a coach that I’ve ever been through, just the way we lost,” said Smith, who had just signed a three-year contract extension last week. “I thought we had a lot more push than that, and we didn’t, and I’ve got to take the blame. That team’s too good to get swept.” The Generals were without spark plug Scott Laughton, who was having a tremen- dous playoff with 13 points in seven games, for their two home games, as he was slapped with a five-game suspension for a hit from behind on Barrie’s Zach Hall in Game 2. But the Colts were missing far more talent, including Hall, the Game 1 hero who was knocked out on the Laughton hit, Mitchell Theoret, who was hurt in Sunday’s 4-0 Bar- rie win, and captain Ryan O’Connor, who was suspended for 10 games from a hit in the first round. Given all that, Smith certainly expected more from his team, especially playing at home. “I don’t know right now, I can’t put my fin- ger on it,” he said when asked to explain the effort. “I’ve got some ideas, but like I said, at the end of the day it’s my responsibility to get this team to play and I take full respon- sibility that some guys didn’t show up and play to their potential.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 29 AP Friday,April 12-Thursday,April 18 IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION:SELECTION &BR ANDS WILL VA RY BY STORE:All colours,patterns and styles may not be available in all stores.R AIN CHECKS A ND SUBSTITUTIONS :If an advertised item is notyetavailablewewillofferyouyourchoiceofacomparablesubstitution,(if available ),or a rain check.In some instances (e.g.special purchases,Black Friday deals,clearance items,bonus with purchase or seasonal items ) quantities may be limited,selection may vary by store and substitutes or rain checks cannot be given.Home Outfitters reserves the right to limit quantities.■3.1 H13 All references to regular price are to Home Out fitters’ regular price product and does not include already reduced,clearance,smart buys and items with .98 price endings unless otherwise specified.All prices in effect Friday,April 12th through Thursday,April 18th,2013 unless otherwise specified.

As of Tuesday, she is on a mission of redemption that will take her through next Feb- ruary. Canada suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the United States in the gold-medal game of the 2013 women’s world hockey championship in Ottawa. The result against the bitter American rivals disappointed the majority of the 13,776 spectators predominantly dressed in red and white. The score flattered the Canadians, who were outmatched by the speed of their opponents, and could only generate 16 shots on goal. Wake- field had her first of two good scoring chances in the second period, only to be foiled by American goalie Jessie Vetter. Then with five minutes left in regulation time and Canada trailing by a goal, Wakefield almost tied the game as she went to collect a rebound of her own shot. But American Brianna Decker poked the puck away at the last instant to help preserve the win. The result spoiled an eventful week for Wake- field, whose shootout goal in the opening game of the tournament proved to be the game-winner against the U.S. in the preliminary round. The 23 year old was also named to the tournament all- star team by the International Ice Hockey Feder- ation directorate, joining teammate Marie-Phil- ip Poulin and opponent Decker as the top three forwards. Wakefield collected eight points (four goals, four assists) in five tournament games for Canada, finishing in a three-way tie for second place in tournament scoring. Despite the loss, Wakefield appreciated the support from the fans who came to the nation’s capital for the event. All told, 98,155 people attended this year’s world championship, many of them young girls aspiring to be the next Team Canada star. “The amount of support we were getting was phenomenal, just like the little girls coming to watch our practice,” she said. “I recognized some of the teams that I played for, and against, in my minor league. I saw some girls from Dur- ham West Lightning and talked to them. It was nice to see the grassroots.” Wakefield now waits with her teammates for an invitation to Team Canada’s centralization camp. The nation’s Olympic hopefuls will be based in Calgary in the six months prior to the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia. The Lightning graduate has nothing but fond memories of the rinks where she skated as a youth. “I played a lot at Art Thompson and Pickering Rec Centre,” she said. “Just growing up there was a positive learning environment. It was a lot of fun. My dad coached me a lot when I was grow- ing up and my mom always helped out with the team. I also played with my sister, so it was a fun family environment.” Having dropped the world champi- onship title on home ice, the Canadi- ans will be focused on making sure that ‘O Canada’ and not ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is played at the end of the gold- medal game in Sochi. “We don’t want to hear their anthem, that is our motivation,” Wakefield said. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 30 AP REAL ESTATE SALESWe're Hiring! *We pay course fees*Licensing Training & Support*10 Locations Considering, Licensed or In course, contact… Pam Palmer1-888-472-2767www.BecomeARealtor.ca*Conditions apply*Coldwell Banker R.M.R.

CALL OUR CLASSIFIED REP. TODAY AJAX 905-683-0707 PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.
