Pickering fights for fair shake
Proposed Seaton
development could
leave City on the hook
for millions
MOYA DILLON
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Councillors are urging City
staff to fight for a fair deal on the planned
Seaton development, saying it could leave
Pickering in the red on community infra-
structure costs.
During an executive committee meeting
on April 15, councillors recommended City
staff work towards creating a memorandum
of understanding with Seaton landown-
ers to offset estimated infrastructure costs,
which could see the City incurring a deficit
of $7.7 million by 2021.
They also approved a list of issues for staff
to address at an upcoming Ontario Munici-
pal Board hearing, which included finan-
cial and traffic impacts of the planned north
Pickering development, which will see more
than 12,000 new residential units construct-
ed as part of phase one, bringing an estimat-
ed 37,000 new residents to the city.
Several residents in attendance expressed
concerns with the potential financial
impacts and their effect on taxpayers, as
well as traffic, heritage and the early com-
pletion of a Whitevale bypass bridge.
“I believe my concerns should be your
concerns and the concerns of every taxpay-
er in Pickering,” said resident Marion Thom-
as.
PICKERING -- Grant McGregor, sustainability and special projects manger, showed Lola Robertson plans for the Seaton develop-
ment that will be going before the OMB in the coming months. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLANDSee INFRASTRUCTURE Page 5

marathoner
Local runner
describes aftermath
of Boston bombings
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Bittersweet, but defiant will be how
Mike Bosch remembers his first Boston Mar-
athon.
He will always remember completing the
challenging course in three hours, 17.45 sec-
onds.
It was the aftermath that darkened his
experience.
In an e-mail on his way home from Bos-
ton, Mr. Bosch wrote, “I finished in 3:17:45,
so I was already back with my wife, Peggy,
and we were making our way back to the
Hyatt Regency which is about 1.6 miles east
of the finish line. We were likely at Boylston
and Tremont (streets) when the explosions
occurred.
“We don’t even remember hearing it as, by
this point, the east wind was quite strong and
we were upwind. It wasn’t until we got back to
our room and turned on the TV that we real-
ized what had happened. Then the shock of
it all set in and we kinda froze for a moment,
almost in disbelief,” noted Mr. Bosch, a reg-
istered massage therapist who owns Athletic
Kneads in Pickering Village.
“Weird bordering on surreal” is how he
described the situation.
“As this was my first time running Bos-
ton, it was bittersweet. I was still proud that I
‘came, saw, and conquered’ (veni, vici, vidi),
but at first almost felt bad to wear my medal
because of both the human tragedy and the
8-9,000 runners who weren’t allowed to fin-
ish. If it were me, I’d have been pissed,” Mr.
Bosch said.
“Then I decided that I would wear it since
we don’t ever want terrorists to have the sat-
isfaction of keeping us from living our lives as
normally as possible,” he added.
Ms. Bosch noted that shortly after the
explosions, the Boston police were securing
the area, so he and his wife didn’t venture
out.
“Besides, I had just finished running one of
the most physically challenging marathons
and wasn’t in the mood for walking back,”
he added. “I was also immediately trying to
reach other friends from Durham who were
running (John Corrigan, Nicole Gavin, Ross
Chandler, Liane Barber). We found out that
Liane and Ross were about 200m past the
finish line when this all happened as they ran
a 4:09 marathon.”
•••
Pickering’s Daniel Mackinnon was part of
a group of runners who trained for the mar-
athon with Ajax’s Running Free store, but
opted not to attend because he didn’t feel he
was prepared. He said all the runners who
did attend are fine.
“The people I run with are kind of fast so
most of them had long gone past the finish
line before the explosion went off,” he said of
the group, which included John Corrigan and
Nicole Gavin of Pickering and Mike Bosch of
Ajax.
One of his friends, who he did not name,
had a close call finishing at 2:37 p.m., less
than 15 minutes before the blast went off. His
wife, who was standing near where the first
blast went off, happened to see him as he
crossed the finish line and walked away from
the blast site to meet up with him.
“That’s like finding a needle in a haystack
that she happened to see him,” Mr. Mackin-
non said.
“He was just getting his medal and having
drinks on the other side of the street when the
explosions went off. If he had been five min-
utes slower, I don’t know. He said he crossed
the finish line with tears of joy and then those
changed really quickly. It’s forever ruined the
race for him.”
As for watching it happen from home when
he had planned to be there running himself,
Mr. Mackinnon said it is an eerie feeling.
“I find it like maybe the fates were on my
side today,” he said.

Ajax MD loses licence to
practise in
Ontario
Banned obstetrician
now working in Sudan
Theresa Boyle
newsroom@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- An Ajax obstetrician and gynecolo-
gist who just lost his licence in Ontario for
sexually abusing a patient is still practising
medicine -- in Africa.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons
revoked the medical licence of Dr. Sami
Karkanis on Wednesday after determining
he had sexually abused a patient during a
pelvic examination in 2006.
Mr. Karkanis left Canada that year. He
lived and worked in the United Arab Emir-
ates until 2010, then moved to Sudan, the
country of his birth.
This wasn’t the first time Mr. Karkanis has
been in trouble with the college. In 2010,
he lost his medical licence for five months
for being involved in a sexual relationship
with a former patient.
Another allegation of sexual abuse, heard
before the college in 2007, was never prov-
en.
In the most recent case, a college disci-
plinary committee found that during a
medical exam, Mr. Karkanis repeatedly
touched a female patient inappropriately.
Mr. Karkanis maintained she misinter-
preted the pelvic examination.
At a February penalty hearing, Mr. Kar-
kanis appeared via video conference from
Sudan and tried to make a case for why his
licence should be temporarily suspended
rather than revoked.
“Dr. Karkanis testified as to the adverse
circumstances of his personal, family and
financial situation and the emotional stress
he endures working in Sudan, a country of
major conflict, isolated from his family and
social supports in Canada,” states the regu-
latory body’s penalty decision.
(College documents refer to him having a
family here and also note that his marriage
ended before moving abroad.)
The penalty decision also states: “We
also heard of Dr. Karkanis’s health issues
with nightmares and emotional problems.
In spite of these adverse conditions, Dr.
Karkanis testified that he has continued to
work long hours in his own field of medi-
cine.”
The decision noted that he gets invited to
speak about his expertise in the field to the
African medical community.
College spokeswoman Kathryn Clarke
said authorities in Sudan and the Unit-
ed Arab Emirates will be immediately
informed about Mr. Karkanis’s history in
Ontario, but the organization has no con-
trol over what other jurisdictions do with
the information.

erty, striking a garden display and a tree
before taking off eastbound, police said.
The car involved is described as a silver
Hyundai Accent or similar vehicle. It like-
ly sustained extensive damage to the front
end, police said. The driver is described as
a white man.

“The Financial Impact Study is based on
assumptions. Assumptions that growth in
Seaton will produce 1,500 units per year and
that assessment will remain as predicted
and that 40 acres per year of employment
land will be consumed.”
Ms. Thomas pointed out that any of those
elements could easily change, increasing the
financial burden. She also criticized Picker-
ing’s low development charges, which at less
than $10,000 per unit are among the lowest
in the GTA.
Councillors shared her concerns, noting
the City was limited by a provincial formula
that calculates development charges.
“One main issue here is the difference
between costs and the development charg-
es that are available to us,” said Mayor David
Ryan, noting if the developers had retained
their land in Richmond Hill, which was
swapped for the Pickering lands to preserve
the Oak Ridges Moraine, the situation would
be different.
“If the development we’re proposing had
remained in Richmond Hill, those same
developers would be paying 2.5 to three
times the development charges that are cur-
rently proposed, so they get a bonus along
with the land transfer,” he explained.
“That’s totally inappropriate and we
do need to point a finger at the body that
imposed this plan on us, this is not a City of
Pickering plan and never has been. We need
to do the best we can with what we’ve got.”
Councillors urged staff to press the City’s
lengthy list of concerns at the board, and
stand firm with landowners to seek conces-
sions that would ease some of the financial
burden to provide necessary infrastructure
such as fire stations and libraries.
“We are an authority without any author-
ity in this entire process and we’re going to
be the people dealing with this in the future,”
said Councillor Jennifer O’Connell.
“I think our only option is to fight at the
board and get as much as we can possi-
bly get. We need to ensure a bad situa-
tion doesn’t get worse, that we have some
voice and some standards are upheld. By
no means by me supporting this do I think
we’re in a win situation, it’s a lose-lose situa-
tion.”
Tony Prevedel, CAO for the City, assured
councillors that staff would fight to make
sure taxpayers aren’t negatively impacted
by the development.
“Our plan is never to be in a deficit so
there will not be a tax impact to the rest of
Pickering, and that’s what we will fight for at
the board,” he said.
Financial impacts of the
Seaton development
A new study commissioned by the City of
Pickering looking at the financial impacts
of Seaton estimates that the development
will create a cash
flow problem
in the short
term.
It esti-
mates neg-
ative cash
flow could
be as much
as $7.7 million
until 2021, and $3
million from 2022 to
2027, before reversing to see an oper-
ating fund surplus of about $4.4 million by
2031.
“This negative position arises because
cost recovery, through development charg-
es and otherwise, will lag behind the initial
need to finance and construct community
facilities, such as the first fire station and
recreation centre,” the report states.
“The near-term cash flow problem is
a financial challenge on the City which
needs to be addressed.”
Planned expenses include:
• parks including neighbourhood parks, vil-
lage greens, a district park, community
parks, trailheads and a primary trail network
• two recreation complexes and two library
branches
•two new fire stations and required equip-
ment
•a future satellite operations centre to ser-
vice central and northern Pickering
• Civic Centre expansion
•local roads, internal collector/arterial roads,
sidewalk and streetlight enhancements to
Regional roads
• stormwater infrastructure

Lesson on teamwork
excites kids at
Gandatsetiagon P.S.
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The excitement was
unavoidable at Gandatsetiagon Public
School April 5 when a couple of special
visitors surprised the students assembled
in the gym.
Toronto Raptors mascot Raptor and the
Toronto Maple Leafs’ Carlton the Bear
stopped by the Pickering elementary
school and played some games to dem-
onstrate sportsmanship and the impor-
tance of teamwork.
It was part of Take Your Parents To
School Week at Gandatsetiagon. One of
the students brought his father, Bryan
Leslie, the director of building operations
and Team Up Green at Maple Leaf Sports
and Entertainment, to talk to the stu-
dents.
Mr. Leslie, who oversees operations at
the Air Canada Centre, told the students
about what it will take to be successful.
First, he said, kids should think long and
hard about what success means to them,
and noted there are all different types of
jobs for different people.
“The only people that can tell you what
that thing is, is you,” he said.
He said it’s important to spend quality
time choosing the right career path.
When talking about teamwork, Mr. Les-
lie told the kids about the amount of hard
work that goes into running the events
that take place at the ACC all year, from
filling up the ice for the hockey season to
setting up and taking down the basketball
court after each Raptors game.
“Teamwork is very important,” he said.
Raptor and Carlton made their grand
appearance in the middle of Mr. Les-
lie’s speech, and the kids screamed and
cheered for the mascots, and shot their
hands up to participate in the team exer-
cise.
Principal Brad Savard said the purpose
of the event was twofold.
“It’s really for the older kids to get an
idea of occupations, and at the same time
for the young kids, having fun,” he said.
Grade 7 student Matthew Berger said
there had already been a number of
assemblies regarding careers, but this
one was his favourite.
“It was educational and fun in the same
way,” he said.
Matthew has already decided to work
in the trades when he grows up, since he
enjoys hands-on activities.
PICKERING -- Bryan Leslie, director of operations at the Air Canada Centre, spoke
to children at Gandatsetiagon Public School recently, during the bring your parent
to work week event. Mr. Leslie spoke to kids about his job and brought along the
Raptors’ and Leafs’ mascots as special guests. sabrina byrnes / metroland

Sewage study needed
To the editor:
Re: Environmental assessment for the out-
fall capacity at Duffin Creek sewage treat-
ment plant.
The expansion of the Region of Dur-
ham/York (Pickering/Ajax) sewer plant has
increased the outfall capacity at the Duffin
Creek plant into Lake Ontario from 420 mil-
lion litres a day to 630 million litres a day.
So are we to see more algae that will
accumulate along the Ajax and Pickering
waterfront shores of Lake Ontario? Will
the increased sewage waste (phosphorus)
increase algae along our waterfronts? It is
very possible the answer is yes.
Lake Ontario provides the drinking water
for the city of Toronto and all the GTA (nine
million people). Ajax has requested a study
be undertaken to find out if the increased
dumping of sewage waste into Lake Ontar-
io will increase algae along the Pickering
and Ajax waterfronts. To date, the Region of
Durham have opposed the study. The Ajax-
Pickering MPP is to get involved in what
could ultimately have an impact on Ajax
and Pickering citizens and its waterfronts.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and his council-
lors should be congratulated for standing up
for the best possible treatment at the source
that will weed out more phosphorus prior to
the release of treated sewage.

Let’s have an honest
conversation about
college tuition
It can be very frustrating to see the
press coverage about tuition levels in this
province.
The tuition for a typical college pro-
gram in Ontario is about $2,400 per year.
Meanwhile, the tuition for a typical arts
and science program at a university is
about $5,400 per year.
Organizations such as the Cana-
dian Federation of Students often fail to
make a clear distinction between college
and university tuition and politicians also
struggle to understand the difference.
When asking a question about tuition
in the Ontario legislature, an opposition
member recently stated that Ontario has
the country’s highest tuition rates.
That is not true. Tuition levels at Ontar-
io colleges are among the lowest in Can-
ada.
College tuition fees should be consid-
ered in a college-specific context. This
includes the shorter duration of many col-
lege programs, the current fee levels and
other significant issues.
The need for a college-specific
approach to college tuition levels couldn’t
be timelier.
There is an urgent need in the work-
force for more people with advanced
skills and career-specific qualifications.
This means Ontario’s colleges must pro-
duce more graduates.
Colleges have built a reputation as
responsible financial stewards of public
money but can’t address the skills gap if
facing a funding gap.
Ontario must develop a distinct tuition
policy for colleges that is based on the
realities of college education in this prov-
ince.

Tuition Durham mourns with U.S. in Boston bombings
Either by luck or
providence, the Durham
Region residents
registered for the Boston
Marathon Monday
escaped injury in the
twin blasts that rocked
the race’s finishing area.
We can all be grateful that no one from
Durham was injured -- or worse -- in the
blasts, even as we take a moment to offer
a silent prayer for the victims. The lat-
est news indicates that three were killed
in the bombings, with upwards of 150
injured, many of whom lost limbs.
Whether an act of domestic or foreign
terrorism (several U.S. law enforcement
agencies are working feverishly to deter-
mine who was responsible), nothing alters
the tragic outcome: innocent people killed
or injured for no rational reason.
Communities around Durham are home
to several competitors who travelled to
Boston to take part in this storied annu-
al race. They left from Oshawa, Ajax,
Pickering, Whitby, Newcastle and Port
Perry, 39 in all, filled with hope and pride
as they headed south. They surely return
with a profound sense of loss and despair.
U.S. president Barack Obama assured
Americans Monday evening that intelli-
gence, national security and law enforce-
ment agencies will aggressively pursue all
leads until the individuals or groups are
brought to justice. As President Obama
is the presiding commander in chief who
ordered the successful strike on Osama
Bin Laden in Abottabbad, Pakistan 10
years after 9/11, the perpetrator or per-
petrators of this attack can be assured
that they’ll forever remain in U.S. justice
crosshairs.
In the meantime, Canadians cannot
afford to be complacent: Toronto is host-
ing a similar marathon on May 5 that is
expected to draw 14,000 competitors to
the city’s downtown core.
The person or persons responsible for
this act of terrorism -- that’s what it is --
may have been motivated by religion. They
may have been motivated by some other
grievance. It’s possible, though remote,
that it was the act of a lone lunatic. Who-
ever is responsible underestimates the
resolve of U.S. agencies and the free men
and women who were victimized on Mon-
day.
The killer(s) will be brought to justice.
The U.S. will endure this tragedy and its
citizens will continue to live their lives
with dignity and grace, characteristics
forged in the fires of 9/11, the gun mas-
sacre at Sandy Hook and other national
tragedies.
But today, for now, we pray and offer our
deepest condolences to the victims of this
senseless act of terrorism.
Rolling Stones still
offer Satisfaction
God bless the Rolling Stones. At a time in
my life when it seems I cannot open a news-
paper, turn on the radio or surf the web
without bumping into the cold, hard head-
stone of some freshly departed icon from
my youth, Mick and the boys, like some
leather-clad, boozed-up, Eveready bunnies
just keep on going and going and going.
This week alone, within days of the deaths
of Margaret Thatcher, Annette Funicello
and Reveen the Impossibilist, the Stones
were announcing yet another tour. Not just
a new album or a 30-minute set at Rama
with Bobby Vinton and a bunch of geriatric
also-rans, but a tour. A gruelling, multi-city,
weeks-long tour. I love these guys. I love
what they stand for. The life-affirming power
of art, music and doing what you love.
There are those, of course, who believe
that the only things keeping the Stones alive
are residual chemicals from all the party-
ing of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s and there may
be some truth to that. There’s a very good
reason, after all, that Keith Richards bares
a startling resemblance to the mummified
remains of a number of Egyptian pharaohs.
And Charlie Watts bears a striking resem-
blance to Lord Voldemort. But that’s too
simple. There’s much more going on here.
The Stones are plugged in. And not just to
their amps. They are firmly tapped into the
energy of the universe. To life itself.
Offstage, they may look like a bunch of
weird old guys in skinny jeans pushing 70.
But get them in front of a crowd, turn the
lights on, flip the switch and they become
virtually incandescent. There’s a reason so
many of us secretly want to be rock stars. It
looks like fun. When we watch people like
the Stones doing their thing, when they’re
really lost in the music, completely enjoy-
ing the experience, it’s contagious. We get to
vicariously sample a little of that bliss they’re
pumping out. It’s no wonder we line up in
droves to pay through the nose for tickets.
It’s a vibration we’re hard-wired to and we
long for. It’s like a homing beacon calling us
all back to where we come from. Joy.
I’ve experienced this myself on occa-
sion. As a comic improviser I used to won-
der how, even during those moments when
a particular scene or game wasn’t working
too terribly well, the audience was still with
us, still enjoying the show immensely. Now I
understand that as long as we, the perform-
ers, were having fun, whether or not the
scene was working was not overly impor-
tant. The audience always keys in to the
vibration of joy. If you’re having a ball, they
will too. If you love what you’re doing, they
will as well. That energy, that life force that
animates the Rolling Stones is, thankfully,
available to all of us at any stage of our lives.
It resides in our bliss. In that thing or stuff
that excites us. So, could there be any more
important or vital quest in this life than find-
ing and following your bliss?
Discover that which you love to do and do
it. Do lots of it. Immerse yourself in it and
let the energy of it and the joy it brings you
renew your spirit and revitalize your soul.
At 52, I sometimes find myself settling for
less, coasting and even, God help me, acting
my age. Mick and the lads are an inspiring
reminder that, although we all must age, we
have a choice in how we do it. Shuffling and
moaning or strutting and singing.

A few years ago Ontario introduced tough
anti-smoking by laws. But they are rare-
ly enforced and smokers are not follow-
ing these bylaws. Throughout Durham you
will find smokers lighting up the second
they walk outside of local buildings. I am
sick of it. The other day I saw a young girl
smoking right beside a no-smoking sign. Us
non-smokers get the joy of walking through
their second-hand smoke and to be honest
I don’t think smokers even care. It’s time for
local businesses and apartment building
owners to ensure no one is smoking within
9 feet of any entrance. And smokers need to
start thinking of others.

Skin tone
discrimination
highlighted
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Infinitee Wellington was
in for a rude awakening when her friend
who had lighter skin than she suddenly
stopped talking to her.
“There was a group of girls that would
yell, ‘team light skin,’” recalls the black
teenager with darker skin, now a Grade
11 student at G.L. Roberts Collegiate in
Oshawa.
The incident occurred at her former high
school in Scarborough. That’s when she
noticed “shadeism” -- bias based on skin
tone -- creeping into her teenage world,
a stark reality that students across North
America, including Durham Region, are fac-
ing today.
While there are some instances of shade-
ism at G.L. Roberts, “We mostly see it in Ajax
or Pickering,” says Grade 11 student Annesha
Adams, chalking it up to a larger black pres-
ence in the schools in those two municipali-
ties.
A group of students sat down with Metro-
land Durham Region Media Group to share
experiences.
“It’s more like when we go out,” says
Grade 10 student Shannie Felix, who is light
skinned.
And it’s very evident within social media.
Shannie, for example, admits that before she
was aware of shadeism, she had #TeamLight-
Skin in her Twitter bio. Darker-skinned teens
often make the self-distinction of #Team-
DarkSkin, she explains.
“It’s whatever’s trending,” says Grade 10
student Jah-One Far-I, adding some people
don’t even realize this type of distinction is a
problem.
It wasn’t until Shannie’s sister told her to
remove #TeamLightSkin from her Twitter bio
that she started noticing shadeism all around
her -- from skin-bleaching products for sale
at hair salons to being helped in stores before
her friends with darker skin.
Infinitee says she’ll get messages from guys
who will say ‘I don’t usually talk to dark-skins
but I’ll talk to you because you’re pretty.”
Shadeism can be found in many cultures,
but among the black community, it dates
back to the days of slavery when light-skinned
slaves tended to receive better treatment than
those of a darker skin tone, explains Infini-
tee. She’s learned through research that dark-
er-skinned slaves often resented those with
lighter skin for this reason.
The students explained this feeling has
crept its way into the 21st century, often with
teenage boys wanting to date light-skinned
girls, light-skinned girls latching onto friend-
ships with other girls with light skin, and still,
many dark-skinned girls resenting those with
lighter skin.
“Guys will be, ‘Oh I like light skin’ and all that,”
says Jah-One. “Personally, I don’t mind any
skin.”
The students feel a lot of teens don’t even
realize that shadeism exists. Infinitee says
ignorance allows the problem to continue
and if nothing is done, shadeism will contin-
ue into the next generation.
“If this keeps going on, it will get worse,”
says Shannie, who adds even her little cousin
is pleased to have light skin.
The students chose to spread this message
in a presentation at their school during Black
History Month, and now hope the Durham
District School Board will sign them up to
speak up on this quiet yet nasty form of dis-
crimination.
“We could stop it if we tried. You can. Just
get educated and you can,” says Shannie.
G.L. Roberts teacher Emmanuel Nish said
the students took an “ism” that’s not often
discussed in Durham and brought it to the
forefront.
“They are pioneers, in my opinion,” he said.
The students also want more black history
in the curriculum, and an end to the use of
“the n-word.”
“Back in the day, it was degrading,” says
Shannie.
They said this word is sometimes used at
G.L. Roberts, by both black and white kids,
and more as slang than anything.
“People don’t know the history of it,” says
Annesha. “If they did, they’d stop saying it.”
The students referenced a number of rap
songs that use the word.
“We look stupid,” says Shannie. “We’re put-
ting ourselves in mental slavery.”
Rap also promotes shadeism, says Infinitee,

says “I like them light skinned, lighter than a

Board superintendent Luigia Ayotte says
she’s unaware of shadeism incidents being
reported at the schools, but the board is
always interested in bringing the student
voice to issues arising in the community. She
indicated there is a chance that these stu-
dents will get their wish in regards to speaking
up on shadeism to other students.
“It’s important for kids to hear the concerns
of others and to provide some direction in
addressing it,” says Ms. Ayotte.
She says last year the board’s And Still We
Rise conference included a presentation on
shadeism, and there was a recent screening
of the documentary, Color Me, which chal-
lenges viewers to re-examine how they feel
about race.

Registration
Pickering Rouge Canoe Club
preparing for season
PICKERING -- Even though summer weath-
er might seem a long way off, local dragon-
boaters, canoers and kayakers are thinking
about the upcoming paddling season.
The Pickering Rouge Canoe Club,
which runs programs on Frenchman’s Bay
in Pickering and at Rouge Beach in Scar-
borough, will hold an early registration
night on Thursday, April 18 between 6 and
9 p.m. at the West Shore Bar and Grill, 877
Bayly Street, Pickering. Early registrants will
receive a five-per cent discount off the cost of
this year’s activities.
Offering programs from learn-to-paddle
and day camps up to elite racing programs,
the community-run club aims to get children
and youth and adults of all ages and abilities
out on the water for fun and fitness between
May and September, using a variety of drag-
on boats, canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle
boards and large outrigger canoes. While the
popular day camps offer children their first
taste of paddle sports, other programs help
many stay fit or even go on to international
competition.
More details are available at the club’s
website www.pickeringrougecc.org.
Baseball
Local players named to
junior national baseball team
training camp
DURHAM -- Four local players have cracked
the spring training camp roster for the junior
national baseball team.
Pitchers Nathan Borges of Brooklin, Bro-
die Harkness of Bowmanville and Sean Ratc-
liffe of Ajax, along with outfielder JD Osborne
of Whitby were among the 30 players who
are competing from April 12-22 in Orlando,
Florida.
The camp includes daily practices and
an exhibition schedule against the extended
spring training clubs of the Atlanta Braves,
Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Washington
Nationals and Toronto Blue Jays.
The spring training camp is an important
step in the process as the junior national team
prepares for the IBAF 18U World Champion-
ship Aug. 30 to Sept. 8 in Taichung, Taiwan.
“This camp will allow our coaching staff
the opportunity to evaluate all players in a
highly competitive environment,” said head
coach Greg Hamilton “The strides taken at
this camp will better prepare our team for
success going forward and leading to the
world championship in September.”
For the players, the training camp will
provide plenty of exposure, as several college
and professional scouts will use the training
camp as an opportunity for talent evaluation.
Taylor
Watson
stops at
Grand
Valley
Goaltender accepts
hockey scholarship
PICKERING -- Taylor Watson will be head-
ing close to Hockeytown after accepting a
hockey scholarship to play for Grand Val-
ley State University in Michigan.
The goaltender is a Pine Ridge Secondary
School student, and member of the West
Northumberland Wild Midget AA team.
The process before landing at Grand Val-
ley State was a long one, which includ-
ed more than two years of e-mails, phone
calls, Skype interviews, tours and scouts
watching her play.
“I chose Grand Valley because of the
smaller class sizes with that big universi-
ty feel. It’s exactly what I was looking for,”
she said of the choice. “I had a lot of inter-
est from many schools in Ontario, Alberta,
Wisconsin and Michigan but decided on
Grand Valley State University as a perfect
fit.”
“I am really excited, the coaching staff
has been so good to me through the whole
process and I am looking forward to con-
tributing right away. It was once I visited
the Grand Valley campus, I knew this was
the place for me.”
Watson credits a lot of her success on the
ice to her goalie coach Sandy Sampson,
who has coached her for the past seven
years.
Sampson stated: “Taylor is a gifted goal-
ie, and is extremely technical and has an
excellent work ethic on the ice. She is a
serious student of the position, and will be
an excellent addition to the Grand Valley
Lakers next season.”
Grand Valley State University co-coaches
Darrell Gregorio and Sean McKernan had
this to say about their new recruit:
“We are truly excited to have Taylor
become a part of our Laker hockey fam-
ily for the 2013-2014 season. We have not
had to recruit any goalies for the past few
seasons as we had a strong goaltender that
has been with us for the past five seasons.
With her graduating this year, it was time
for another young goalie to step into that
position. There is not a doubt in my mind
that Taylor will fill that role with ease.
“The first time we saw her play, we knew
that she was someone that we would need
to push this team up a level. Having such
a good goaltender like Taylor is not only
going to be good for us against our com-
petition, but internally as well. She is real-
ly going to make it a challenge for our own
players. Making them work hard to score
in practice. Hopefully that translates into
our games. It will be exciting to watch her
development and mature very quickly both
as a hockey player and as an adult here at
Grand Valley over the next coming years.”
During Watson’s first year in the midget
division her team competed in the Lower
Lakes Female Hockey Association and
she was a key contributor posting a league
leading GAA while winning the Divisional
Eastern Title. Her career was highlighted
that year by winning the Pittsburgh Elite
Tournament and winning a silver medal in
the provincial championship while posting
a GAA of 0.50 in that tournament.

WHITBY -- Whitby’s Devin Ste. Marie
helped the University of Minnesota
women’s swimming and diving team to
its second straight Big 10 championship
recently.
Ste. Marie, a former member of the Ajax
Aquatic Club, won a silver medal in the
200 butterfly with a time of 1:56.48, which
is the second-fastest time on the Minne-
sota record books and was fast enough to
qualify her for the NCAA championships.
She finished 27th at the NCAAs in India-
napolis, in a time of 1:57.96.
Last year, as a freshman, Ste. Marie won
the B final in the 200 butterfly, finishing
ninth overall, and finished 20th overall in
the 100 butterfly at the Big 10 champion-
ships.
This year, in addition to the silver
medal, she also won the B final of the 100
butterfly in a personal best time of 53.82.

Lightning win provincial title
String together
strong run of five
games in Ottawa
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
OTTAWA -- The season ended on a
positive note for the Durham West
Junior Lightning after all.
The Lightning travelled to Otta-
wa for the season’s final tourna-
ment, the provincial champion-
ships, going undefeated in five
outings to win the Intermediate
AA crown.
The triumph helped erase the
disappointment of bowing out in
the Provincial Women’s Hockey
League playoffs in the quarter-
finals, falling short of the goal to
advance to the final four, after fin-
ishing third in the 20-team league.
But once the team arrived in
Ottawa for provincials and got a
game in, its competitive fire was
ignited once again.
“It was still tough, but once the
girls got there, it’s just like any-
thing. They are playing at this
level because they are competi-
tive. Once you get there, you want
to win,” said head coach Wayne
McDonald.
Pool play for the Lighting opened
with a 1-1 draw against Burling-
ton, and finished with a 6-1 vic-
tory over Southwest. Advancing to
the playoff round on a tiebreaker,
the Lightning made the most of
it, knocking off Whitby 2-0 in the
quarter-finals, Stoney Creek 3-1 in
the semis, and Mississauga 3-2 in
the championship game.
Because of who they beat in the
playoff rounds, McDonald said
there was a high level of satisfac-
tion with winning the champi-
onship. It wasn’t an easy road, as
Whitby won the PWHL champi-
onship, and both Mississauga and
Stoney Creek were among the elite
teams in the league.
“The way we looked at it, we beat
Whitby who finished first, Missis-
sauga who finished second and
Stoney Creek who finished fourth
(in league play). The girls played
great, and the fact we had to play
those teams,” made it all the more
satisfying, he said.
The period of time to enjoy the
championship was short. Tryouts
for next year’s team began just a
couple of days later, with 35 play-
ers on the ice for the initial ses-
sion.

WALLACE, Violet Elizabeth (nee Denney)
1918 - 2013 Passed away peacefully at her
home on April 12th, 2013 surrounded by her
family at the wonderful age of 95. She is
predeceased by her loving husband Alfred,
her daughter Violet and Son in Law John
White. She leaves behind a wonderful
legacy of 5 sons, Freddy, Walter, Billy, Brian,
Gordon and 2 daughters, June and Morag.
Violet took great pride and joy at her
extended family of 12 Grand Children, John,
Tracy, Toni, Walter, Heather, Laurence,
Kimberley, Kyle, Tanya, Andrew, Billy and
Chelsea. 10 Great Grand Children Sarah,
Kelsey, Anthony, Alaina, Jeffery, Hayden,
Gabriel, Emery, Madelyn and Ethan. 4 Great
Great Grandchildren Conner, Natalie, Daizee
and Amillya. Violet grew up in Glasgow, met
and married Alfred at the young age of 19.
She then nurtured and guided her 8 children
through the difficult and trying times following
the Second World War, and when they all
emigrated to Canada she followed, holding
the family together. Because of her love and
caring the family is as close today as it was
50 years ago. Violet was always
adventurous and loved to travel, constantly
planning her next trip. In her later years she
lived with her son Billy and his wife Margaret
and was constantly cared for by her
daughters June and Morag. Ever present
during this time were her extended family,
including Agnes, Deborah, Heather, Jenny,
Suzanne, Ina, Lisa and Keiran. The family
would especially like to thank Dr. Tanious for
his compassion and care extended to their
mother over the years. A tribute to Violets
life will be held at the ACCETTONE FUNERAL HOME 384 Finley Ave., Ajax

BELL, Ian MacDonald - Surrounded by loved
ones, Dad passed away peacefully on
Monday, April 8, 2013 at Brampton Civic
Hospital following a brief illness. Ian will be
remembered for his dedication to the Durham
Board of Education during his 35 years of
service both as a teacher and Vice-Principal
and more importantly as a caring family
man. His integrity and deep-rooted religious
beliefs will not be soon forgotten, nor will his
kindness and generosity to a great many
charities. His hobbies that he was passionate
about included writing cards to his children
and grandchildren, maintaining his beautiful
gardens, nature walks, bird watching, piano
playing, canoeing, stamp collecting,
astronomy, puzzle books, rug hooking and
reading. Ian married his sweetheart Ruth
Elsie Milnes and they shared their love
for each other for over 55 years. Ian is
predeceased by his brother Gordon and
survived by his siblings Mary, Don and
Janice, his wife Ruth and their four children
Garth (Line), Ian (Ruth), Marilyn Brophy
(Mike) and Leanna Kozlowski (David). He is
also survived by his 12 grandchildren and his
three great grandchildren. A private family
graveside committal service will be held
Sunday, April 21st. Donations may be made
to the Charity of your choice in the name of
Ian MacDonald Bell.
MIDDLETON, John Wright - On Wednesday,
April 10, 2013 at Lakeridge Health Palliative
Care in Oshawa, John (Jack) Wright
Middleton passed away after a year-long
illness. Predeceased by his wife Marilynne
Middleton (nee Henshaw) of Ajax, John will
be missed by their children Heather (William
Dewland), and Jacquelyn (Darren Lee) of
Toronto, as well as his children from his first
marriage, Kim and Jason. John will be deeply
missed by his family and many friends. The

during the war effort of World War II.
Following the war, the munitions area
became the Town of Ajax. A Canadian army
veteran (WWII), and a long-time employee of
General Motors in Oshawa, John was always
willing to share entertaining stories about his
many exploits. For friends interested in the
celebration of John's life, the family asks that
they be contacted directly. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made in John's memory to
The Poppy Fund at the Royal Canadian
Legion Branch 322 (905-683-2927).
