Durham men check in to nursing careers
Number of male nurses at local hospitals steadily rising
AJAX -- Mike Alfermann is a registered practical nurse at Rouge Valley Health System.
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- For some patients at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, registered nurse
Michael Rigor is the first male nurse they’ve encountered.
“A lot of times they think I’m a physician,” he said. “I have to reintroduce myself
and say my name is Michael and I’ll be your nurse today.”
Male nurses at Lakeridge Health are still largely outnumbered by their female
counterparts, making up just 4.5 per cent of the nursing work force, but the num-
bers are rising. Since 2009 the number of male nurses has almost doubled, rising
from 39 to 74 in 2013.
It’s a slow but steady trend that can be seen across the Province where there are
about 7,500 male nurses, representing six per cent of all nurses.
Mr. Rigor, a Whitby resident who works in the oncology and nephrology unit
at the Oshawa hospital, said he comes from a family of health-care workers and
always knew he wanted to work in a hospital.
Cobourg resident Noreen Young, one of Mr. Rigor’s patients, said it’s a shame
more men don’t consider nursing as a career because they’re very good at it.RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND See MEN on page 10

AP Black Durham students
honoured
Six students awarded
for volunteering, strong
grades
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Six Durham students have
shown they can volunteer around the com-
munity, and participate in sports and clubs,
all while staying on top of their grades.
The Durham Black Educators’ Network
held its inaugural Activating Success Stu-
dent Awards in May at the Carruthers Marsh
Pavilion in Ajax. The award was presented to
six students in the Durham District School
Board of African or Caribbean descent who
have demonstrated leadership.
“We definitely plan to do it again,” said
Tracey Grose, a social worker and attendance
counsellor with the board, and a member of
DBEN.
The award focuses on the positive contribu-
tions of black youth and highlighting students
who demonstrate leadership while pursuing
their education.
“We’re trying to motivate young students
from our community, our cultural groups, so
they have something to aspire to, to look up
to,” said Ms. Grose.
Recipient and Grade 12 student Lena Hall
has a long list of contributions inside of school
and out. For example, the Maxwell Heights
Secondary School student has spent four
years volunteering with Challenge League
Sports, where she coaches basketball and
soccer to special needs kids. In school, she’s
involved in numerous clubs, including the
Students Ally for Equity, and she was the writ-
er of a Black History Month video. She does
all of this and more on top of a part-time job.
She’s also been accepted to university for the
fall where she will study to be a teacher who
works with kids with special needs. “I think
being busy is what keeps me going,” she said.
Grade 8 student Maya George is also busy.
The Cadarackque Public School student is on
the school’s leadership team and plans spe-
cial events, among other things. She’s also a
camp counsellor and teaches Sunday School
with her church, and sings at a retirement
home for special events.
“I like to volunteer because I like to make a
difference,” she said.
She recalled words from one of her teachers
that have stuck with her, essentially that every
life has a purpose.
“I can look back and feel I made a differ-
ence,” she said.
Cassidy Bowes, a Grade 8 student at Apple-
croft Public School, is a member of the lead-
ership team, as well as Kids for Change. She’s
the captain of her school volleyball team, and
co-captain of the basketball team. Her activi-
ties outside of school include playing volley-
ball and tutoring.
She doesn’t let her busy schedule get in the
way of her studies.
“I make sure I know what’s next and keep
organized and make sure I can get everything
done,” she said.
Both Cassidy and Maya hope to become
pediatricians.

Third court date
set to hear charges
of campaign finance
violations
OSHAWA -- The legal process continues
for Pickering Councillor Doug Dickerson
who faces charges of campaign finance
violations.
Coun. Dickerson was not present for
a court appearance on May 27, where
lawyers for both Coun. Dickerson and
the City’s Compliance Audit Committee
agreed to continue pre-trial discussions
in front of a judge on June 13.
If both parties can’t reach an agreement
to settle the charges then, a date for trial
will be set.
Coun. Dickerson has been charged with
five offences under the Municipal Elec-
tions Act, including failing to value con-
tributions of goods and services, filing an
incorrect financial statement, using his
account for purposes other than the cam-
paign, exceeding the spending limit and
accepting invalid campaign contribu-
tions.
Councillor Dickerson has maintained
his innocence, saying he misinterpreted
the act, which he called flawed.
Committee members voted in favour
of pursuing legal action against the vet-
eran politician during a meeting on Feb.
20, after receiving legal advice from spe-
cial prosecutor David Reiter and review-
ing the findings of an earlier compliance
audit that reported Coun. Dickerson in
contravention of the Municipal Elections
Act.
If found guilty of the charges, Coun.
Dickerson could face penalties including
fines or losing his council seat.
Pickering councillor Dickerson heads back to court
PICKERING -- Pickering councillor Doug
Dickerson will be back in court June 13.

Durham marks
World No Tobacco Day
DURHAM -- The Durham Region health
department asks residents to help make
parks and beaches smoke free on World
No Tobacco Day May 31.
Recent surveys done by the health
department show that 76 per cent of resi-
dents support smoke-free beaches while
86 per cent want smoke-free playgrounds.
“Tobacco use remains the No. 1 pre-
ventable cause of death and disease in
Canada,” says Dr. Robert Kyle of the Dur-
ham Region health department.
The health department will host infor-
mation displays across Durham from May
28 to 31.

Pickeringvoters to have
their say on
possible casino
Council approves
referendum question on
gaming for 2014 election
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Voters will have a chance to weigh in
on the question of bringing gaming to Pickering with
a referendum question on the ballot.
Pickering council approved the addition of a ques-
tion on the possibility of hosting a casino in the city,
which will be put on the ballot for the 2014 municipal
election. The yes or no question will read, “Are you
in favour of a gaming facility (casino) in the City of
Pickering?”
“My position on this
is, what are we afraid
of?” said Councillor
Jennifer O’Connell,
noting no public con-
sultation was under-
taken before council
voted to declare itself
a willing host commu-
nity for a future gaming
facility in December
2012.
“This is a tool which
is used all the time to engage the public on really
important issues, and I think this is a really important
issue,” Coun. O’Connell continued.
“We should have held a public meeting before the
willing host vote, but that wasn’t the will of council. If
you don’t support this motion are you afraid the pub-
lic is not in favour of a casino? I think it’s never the
wrong time to ask for the public’s input.”
Coun. David Pickles said he did not believe the
question was necessary in this case, but that he was
fine with getting more public input as long as council
didn’t go overboard with referendum questions as a
tool.
“I think with referendum questions there are always
pros and cons, and I wouldn’t want to see a prolifera-
tion of them,” he explained. “I think it’s always good
to get public input on items but I don’t have any con-
cerns with this particular question.”
Council approved the referendum question in a
vote of five to one, with Coun. Kevin Ashe dissenting.
‘‘My position
on this is,
what are we
afraid of?’

Durham cop fights
insubordination
charge
Officer failed to
disclose outside earnings
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- A Durham cop facing criminal
charges is not legally obligated to disclose
information about money he earned while on
suspension, a lawyer has argued.
Constable Scott Andrew “Andy” Terry
doesn’t have to comply with the demand
from Chief Mike Ewles because the order is
not supported by the Police Services Act, law-
yer Bill MacKenzie argued Friday.
“It’s not a lawful order,” Mr. MacKenzie said
during a disciplinary tribunal in Whitby. “It
flies in the face of the legislation.”
Const. Terry, 48, has pleaded not guilty to a
single count of insubordination. The 28-year
veteran was suspended with pay in January
2012 after he was slapped with several crim-
inal charges including sexual assault, breach
of trust and making and possessing child por-
nography.
Terms of his suspension included disclos-
ing to police brass any income he received
other than his police salary. It was the intent
of the police service to deduct extra earnings
from Const. Terry’s salary while he remained
suspended, the tribunal heard.
The officer has operated side businesses
including landscaping, snow removal and
home renovation services for more than 20
years while serving as a cop, hearing officer
Inspector Dave Saliba heard.
Const. Terry was charged with insubordi-
nation when he failed to make disclosure. He
testified Friday he had obtained a legal opin-
ion he was not obligated to comply with the
order. And besides that, he was unsure his
various ventures even yielded a profit after his
expenses were subtracted, he said.
“I was only going by what I was told because
I didn’t have any income from my compa-
nies,” Const. Terry testified.
He said he’s actually experienced a drop in
income in the wake of his suspension because
of lost overtime and paid duty assignments.
Prosecutor Ian Johnstone said that notwith-
standing the officer’s understanding of legal
advice or business principles, he was obligat-
ed to comply with the Chief’s order.
And the Chief had a responsibility to inves-
tigate whether or not the officer was taking
advantage of his suspension to pursue what
amounted to a second full-time job, Mr. John-
stone argued.
“Transparency; accountability. That’s what
this is about,” Mr. Johnstone said. “The offi-
cer is suspended with pay. He has all kinds
of time, you would think ... to increase his
income. The service wants to know.
“(Const. Terry) had no intention to comply,”
Mr. Johnstone said. “He was defiant.”
Mr. MacKenzie, however, cited a section of
the Act that declares income sources existing
prior to an officer’s suspension are exempt
from disclosure orders. Durham police brass
have been aware of Const. Terry’s other pur-
suits for years and have even juggled his shifts
to accommodate them, the tribunal heard.
“The chief’s order is an attempt to trump
the legislation,” Mr. MacKenzie argued. “It
can’t, and it doesn’t.”
Mr. Johnstone replied the chief’s order is
legal because he has an obligation to deter-
mine if Const. Terry’s extracurricular activities
amount to full-time wages in addition to his
police salary.
“If you’re a full-time police officer you
shouldn’t be engaged in full-time employ-
ment elsewhere,” he said. “The chief is fulfill-
ing his duty,” Mr. Johnstone said. “The officer
is supposed to comply.”
Const. Terry was ordered back to work ear-
lier this year and assigned a non-policing role.
He awaits trial on his criminal charges.
The Police Services Act tribunal has been
adjourned until July.

A young life in Durham lost far too soon
The death of a young
Whitby woman last week
from methanol poisoning
is made all the more
tragic and numbing
by the fact that it was
entirely preventable.
Dana Watson, 18, joined friends for an
evening of fun and socializing on May 17
and consumed, along with at least two
other young men who became ill, a blue-
coloured liquid contained in a bottle of
vodka.
The bottle was taken to the gathering by
another young man. Police said he took it
from a relative’s home and was unaware
that the blue liquid was, in fact, metha-
nol.
Both the woman and the young man
who consumed the most methanol were
in hospital within hours; the woman suc-
cumbed to the poisoning on May 22 after
slipping into a coma.
One can’t even begin to imagine the
grief being endured by her family. This
was a young, vibrant, healthy woman with
so many of life’s promises ahead of her.
A simple series of seemingly unrelated
actions, assumptions and decisions led to
unspeakable tragedy.
It’s important to note that there was no
criminal intent, nor were any charges laid.
It’s also important to note that though not
commonplace, there have been similar
cases of methanol poisoning that have
claimed the lives of unsuspecting victims.
One man died and another was seriously
harmed in an eerily similar case last year
in involving the ingestion of a blue liquid
contained in a vodka bottle.
But at this time of year, especially, this
latest case must be highlighted, the con-
sequences underlined.
Graduating students from communities
around Durham Region are preparing for
proms and year-end school parties and a
summer of freedom that lies just over the
horizon.
At many of those social events, alco-
hol will be served and some will drink to
excess.
To those students, we can’t say strenu-
ously enough to pay attention to what
they are doing, what they are consuming
and who they are with. Parents, too, must
take the opportunity to discuss with teens
the potential perils of partying, the limits
of freedom and the consequences of one’s
decisions.
This young woman’s death is a shocking
tragedy.
But even in death, a life can be saved,
if only we pay heed to the circumstances
and solemn tribute to the consequences.

Workers won’t put up
with ‘right to work’ law
To the editor:
Workers are feeling the pain as Canadian
corporations chase the lowest labour dol-
lar in an effort to cut costs and enhance
profitability. The result of this has been
the loss of a significant number of Cana-
dian jobs. In March alone, this country lost
54,500 jobs, the biggest single-month loss
of jobs in four years. Our unemployment
rate sits at 7.2 per cent. This is happening
in an environment where we are witness-
ing an unprecedented attack on unions.
Governments at all levels should be
working with stakeholders, including the
labour movement, to develop a strategy
that focuses on growing jobs in Canada.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ontar-
io Conservative leader Tim Hudak and
others are threatening workers with leg-
islation like ‘right to work’ that will make
union dues collection voluntary, creating a
scheme where some workers become “free
riders” who don’t pay dues, yet still receive
the benefits of union membership.
Working people will not tolerate any
attack by government that aims at taking
away the hard-fought gains of the past.

Layar lets articles
jump off the page
There will be something radically differ-
ent in tomorrow’s editions of your commu-
nity newspapers.
It’s a new way of presenting stories in
print, a way to give the reader a different
experience while reading the words on the
page.
It’s called Layar.
When I first heard the word, I thought it
was spelled with an ‘e’, and had something
to do with adding different elements to a
story, such as a chart, or an additional pic-
ture.
But this Layar is so much more.
It allows the reader to go beyond the
printed page while using the technology
available with today’s smartphones.
Layar is an app you download for iPhone
or Android phones; it doesn’t work with
BlackBerrys. The app is free. Similar to
a QR code, you open the app, place your
phone over the page, and you open up a dif-
ferent world of videos, more photos or even
the subject of the article talking to you.
The first time I saw it work was a maga-
zine cover for the British show, Dr. Who. I’m
a big fan and the cover had Matt Smith, the
current doctor, in a photo with his current
companion Clara.
When you placed the Layar app over
it, the two came to life, running around the
photo studio and discussing why they were
there. It was a lot of fun to watch.
Watch for many different articles featur-
ing the Layar app in tomorrow’s papers.
Layar has a wealth of potential and we
are only scratching the surface of how it can
be used. We have been teasing our read-
ers with numerous Layar promos for the
past few weeks but now it’s time to see it in
action. Please take some time to check out
the Layar elements in our Thursday papers.
You might see something you like.

Long gone, but
often nearby
This past weekend I had, not one, but a
large number, of those moments when you
are blissfully happy to be alive. Moments
when you are acutely aware that the very
air around you is thick with beauty and
blessings.
At times like these I am certain that
Nature herself is conspiring to make me
smile.
Everywhere I looked, everything I did,
everyone I met seemed to add a new
dimension of happiness to my existence.
The sun shone brilliantly but not so
intensely that I could not enjoy the breeze
around my bare feet.
The grass, only a week ago so tired and
struggling, was suddenly lush and cool
and green. Every tree, bush, shrub and
flower was adorned in blossoms or finery
of some sort.
And all, apparently, just for me.
The windows of the house were flung
wide open and it seemed as if, after hold-
ing it’s dusty breath all winter, the very
structure was inhaling deeply and relax-
ing right down to its foundation. Neigh-
bours, long shuttered behind frosty win-
dows, appeared, smiling and garrulous
over backyard fences.
At times like these, everything is easy
and right and perfect.
At one point I found myself repainting a
couple of old wooden benches I have on
the front lawn, a chore that on any other
day might seem tedious, tiresome or even
aggravating. But perspective is every-
thing.
And when the Universe lets you wear her
fun goggles for even a couple of days, you see
the perfection and wonder in everything.
I was suddenly aware that there were
many millions of people on this planet,
infirm, incapacitated or simply unplugged
from life, who would give their eye teeth
to be able to do something as simple and
alive as paint a bench in the cooling shade
of an elm tree.
Odd, existential things go through your
head at those times, also.
I thought of my brother J.J.
Gone now for longer than his 24 years
on this earth and yet still so near to me.
I wondered if he too, weren’t taking a lit-
tle vicarious joy in my bliss, leaning over
my sun-baked shoulder, smiling at the
dog, flaked out in the shade beside me.
And strangely, I thought of two child-
hood friends, gone too for many, many
years, the victims of a high school car
accident.
Steve and Marty, faces and names I
am certain I had not thought about in
decades, came into my head, completely
unbidden, as if they too, were crowding
around, anxious and envious of me and
my corporeal joy.
I know all this sounds trippy, but I was
aware of every bit of it. Intensely aware. I
was suddenly and blissfully aware of the
inestimable preciousness and brevity of
my time here.
And it felt to me like every guide, every
teacher, every ethereal helper who had
ever tried to teach me anything in this
cock-eyed life of mine, was suddenly
lined up, grinning and clapping as I final-
ly understood, if only for a weekend, what
they have been trying to tell me all along.
It’s all good.

Times do change,
but not necessarily
for the better
To the editor:
Am I the only one who feels sad when I
see the new parking garages at both the
Ajax and Pickering GO Stations?
Some would say this represents growth,
but it’s growth that’s benefiting the Toron-
to labour force and beyond.
It is wild to know that more than 75 per
cent of Ajax residents commute west for
work. This means that while people may
live here, the majority of their time is given
there.
The Town of Ajax is excited about Pat
Bayly Square. But is there an initiative
to address the fact that most people just
occupy this town to park and bunk instead
of making more room for more people to
do just that?
During the Second World War, the muni-
tions plant, Defence Industries Limited,
was established here and people came
from far and wide to make what is now
Ajax their home, workplace and commu-
nity.
Yes, those were different times, but
necessity and innovation brought people
here! It’s time it does so again for that was
our origin.
So build, yes, but may it directly benefit
Ajax instead of literally helping us out of
town.
Renae Jarrett,
Ajax

Making a
mountain out
of an ant hill...
Cindy Cummins Meghu:
Magnifying glass and some
patience :)
Jessica Couture-John-
son: I was recently told to
leave a trail of cornmeal
for them, non chemical (so
safe around kids/pets) but
Ants can’t digest it and it
kills them. Not sure if this is true but I will
be trying it soon.
Angela Ilg: Someone last
year recommended liber-
ally sprinkling laundry soap
over the hill, then wetting
with a garden hose so it
sinks into the nest. I used
non-bleach laundry powder, but it still
killed the grass a bit.
Shonah Doherty: Vinegar.
Easy and cheap and it
works.
Bob Kesic: Get an ant
eater :)
Katherine Barrett: Boiling
water on the hill. Doesn’t
take long to kill them all,
VERY effective.

“Men can be gentler than women as nurses,” she said. “Women
know what women can do and what they can stand whereas men
aren’t sure and they’re much more gentle.”
Bob Stratton, also an RN, works in the same unit as Mr. Rigor.
He didn’t grow up thinking he’d be a male nurse, but he’s always
wanted to help people and considered becoming a teacher’s assis-
tant.
“I’ve got some family in nursing and they suggested I take the
RN course, it’ll open a lot more doors for me and I did that and
I’ve loved my job ever since,” said the nurse of
seven years.
The Newcastle resident said his friends initial-
ly made fun of him for being a male nurse, but
that’s changed over the years.
“The guys that were teasing me before are
phoning me for advice, asking me to help their
families to do certain things ... it’s kind of an asset
now, I guess.”
When Mr. Stratton runs into a patient who has never had a male
nurse, he turns on the charm. “I usually convince them we’re the
best and that we’re awesome and give me a chance and usually
they are open to having me again after that,” he said.
Occasionally female patients will ask for a female nurse, said Mr.
Rigor, and they’re accommodated.
James Jennings, a third-year nursing student at Trent Universi-
ty was recently on placement at the Oshawa hospital. He said it
helps seeing nurses like Mr. Stratton in the field.
“I love seeing the guys working and it shows they’re appreciated
and there’s lots of work for us,” said the Courtice resident.
He said the only time he’s felt intimidated on the job was in the
maternity unit, but that passed after spending time there.
He’d like to see more advertising for nursing programs directed
at men.
Debra Morrison, co-ordinator of the practical nursing program
at Durham College, said the college markets nursing to men, but
feels job stability will be the main attraction to male students.
About 10 per cent of the students in the program are male, a figure
that’s slowly but steadily rising.
“I think it’ll be the economy,” she said. “It will be the jobs that
people are attracted to. They can have a job for life, it’s pretty sta-
ble.”
For Brent Caza, a 2011 Durham College grad and a registered
practical nurse at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Ser-
vices, job stability was a big factor.
The Bowmanville resident turned to nursing as a second career
when he was laid off after 14 years working in the
auto industry at Lear. He has always had an inter-
est in health care and opted for nursing after tak-
ing care of his parents who suffered from cancer.
“I was laid off so I took the opportunity to go
back to school and decided that nursing was what
I wanted to do,” he said. “I wanted to make a posi-
tive impact on people’s lives and give back the
quality care that both my mom and dad received
when they were ill.”
Mike Alfermann, a registered practical nurse in the operat-
ing room at the Ajax-Pickering hospital, is one of 81 male nurses
working for the Rouge Valley Health System, making up 6.7 per
cent of the nursing workforce.
He initially got his degree in health sciences but ended up work-
ing construction. When he fell off a roof, he decided it was time to
put his degree to work and went to school for nursing. He’s been
a working nurse for 12 years, but still works some construction on
the side. Like the other nurses interviewed, he finds a great deal of
job satisfaction in helping people.
“It’s long hours, it’s shift work, you put up with a lot of patients
being scared and worried about what’s happening to them,” said
the Oshawa resident. “But it’s very gratifying at the end of the day
when you can say I helped someone get a new hip or get a new
knee or they had to have that surgery to remove the cancer.”

RPN Mike Alfermann
“Probably the most common reaction is ‘Are
you the doctor?’ That’s what I get asked all
the time.”

Lakeridge Health Oshawa
RN Michael Rigor
“The first time you walk into a classroom it’s
a bit intimidating because there’s a sea of
girls just staring down at you.”
“I didn’t really think too much about it being
female-dominated. I just wanted to do what
I liked and do what would open a lot of
doors for me.”
Third-year Trent University
RN student James Jennings
“I think there’s a huge stereotype out there
that it’s a female-dominated job and guys
can do it but maybe it should be left up to
the women.”

Durham man launches new
search engine
Social shares drive
search engine rankings
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- A Durham man is taking on
the big guns like Google in his quest to
develop a better search engine.
Whitby resident Daniel Gardiner is the
CEO of Enginuity Search Media (theen-
ginuity.com), a new search engine that
ranks search results based on social
shares.
“It dawned on me about nine months
to a year ago sort of just sitting on Google
searching,” he said. “I know a lot of peo-
ple had been talking about social shar-
ing and I just kind of figured this idea
could really help.”
On Mr. Gardiner’s search engine, links
that have been shared on sites like Face-
book and Twitter will appear higher in
the search results. A bar beside each
search result will also let people know
whether others who have shared the link
have found it useful.
“We’re very picky on what we share, so
I think that really counts,” said Mr. Gar-
diner. “It shows someone really valued
that information versus something that’s
gotten no shares at all.”
In addition to basic web searches,
users can also search reviews in catego-
ries like automotive, books and technol-
ogy.
Unlike sites like Google, users must
sign up to use theenginuity.com but it’s
free to use. However, there is a fee for
premium memberships with addition-
al perks like viral searching where users
can find out what’s trending via social
sharing.
Mr. Gardiner, a software engineer with
12 years of experience, explains that by
knowing what’s going viral, business-
es can better target their products. For
example, they could target ads to a You-
Tube video that’s gone viral.
Right now, the company has a handful
of employees, but Mr. Gardiner is hop-
ing it will grow.
“I feel pretty confident because it’s
already an established industry that we
know of but there’s definitely a lot of
room for innovation,” he said.

Durham teen dies after
drinking
methanol
Substance taken
to party in vodka bottle
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Friends and family are mourning a “loving,
warm-hearted” Whitby teenager who died after mis-
takenly drinking methanol at a house party.
The 18-year-old girl was at a Whitby residence on May
17 when a friend offered her vodka he brought from a
relative’s home, unaware that the blue liquid inside was
actually methanol.
The next day, both she and a 17-year-old boy fell ill
and were rushed to hospital. The girl slipped into a
coma and was pronounced dead Wednesday, May 22.
Police did not release her name, but grieving friends
identified her as Dana Watson, a Grade 12 student at
Donald A. Wilson Secondary School in Whitby.
A devoted volunteer, Ms. Watson was closely involved
in Scouts Canada and its program MedVents, which
teaches youth how to administer first aid.
“She was quite positively one of the brightest youth
that we had,” said youth commissioner David Millie.
“She was always eager to help out.”
Last year, she received the Bronze Cross for gallant-
ry from Scouts Canada for rushing to help victims of a
lightning strike at the Whitby Ribfest.
Jessica Reed, 21, said she met Ms. Watson at Med-
Vents five years ago and they were “like sisters.
“I’m in shock,” she said. “I know she’s not that type of
person to accept alcohol from anybody.”
Ms. Watson joined MedVents because she hoped to
become a veterinary technician or work in health care,
said Ms. Reed. Recently, she had been accepted to the
personal support worker program at Durham College.
“She was just that kind of person who liked to help
people,” she said. “She put others before herself. If you
ever needed anything, she was always there.”
After the incident, friends of the young woman took to
social media outlets, expressing their shock and grief at
her death. One Twitter poster wrote that the teen drank
the methanol assuming it was liquor, and that no one
spiked her drink with the substance.
The 17-year-old boy who was also hospitalized under-
went dialysis treatment and recovered. A third boy also
drank some of the methanol but didn’t become sick
because he consumed less of it than the others, police
said. No charges have been laid in the incident, which
has been classified as a sudden death and investigated
thoroughly for potential criminal behaviour.
The incident highlights the necessity of informing
young people about the dangers of drinking, Durham
police spokesman Dave Selby said.
“Prom season is just around the corner,” he said.
Mr. Selby couldn’t say if the boy who took the sub-
stance to the party was among those who fell ill.

Cyclists ride for Durham
United Way
United Way
officials thank
Trillium Foundation
for $119,700 grant
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- About 50 cyclists hit the
road in support of the United Way
Sunday morning in the Durham
Waterfront Community Ride.
The event was dubbed ‘Ride with
the Mayors’ and Oshawa Mayor
John Henry said he would ride a
portion of the route with the cyclists
starting at Lakeview Park in Oshawa.
Distances ranged from shorter rides
at about 40 kilometres to 120 kilo-
metres to Port Hope.
Oshawa Cycling Club member
Rachel Crowther was on hand to
lead the group to Port Hope.
“Hopefully that’s why it’s called
Port Hope, because I hope to get
there,” said the Courtice resident,
who added this will be her longest
ride so far this year.
Whitby resident Sebastian Pierre
was among the group heading for
Port Hope. He said he signed up for
the event to support the community
and for the fitness benefits. He nor-
mally rides 60 to 80 kilometres.
“This’ll be a challenge today.”
For Glenn MacLean, also of
Whitby, it was an opportunity to
train for the Ride to Conquer Can-
cer. “I’m actually doing other rides
to get some distance and get my
butt in shape,” he said.
Ajax resident Wayne Hingston
was also training. Between June and
August he’ll be riding 6,000 kilome-
tres from Los Angeles to New York
in the Sea to Sea Bike Tour. The
event is a fundraiser for people liv-
ing in poverty around the world.
United Way campaign director
Bob Howard addressed the group
at the beginning of the ride and
took the opportunity to thank the
Ontario Trillium Foundation for
a $119,700 grant that was used to
cover the costs of Durham’s two
United Way organizations becom-
ing one in 2011.
Penny Smith, a volunteer with the
Trillium Foundation, was on hand
to accept the thanks.
Mr. Howard said he was happy
with the turnout of about 50 cyclists
and pointed out that another ride
will be held to benefit the United
Way on Aug. 25.

Brandon Cook
avoiding pre-fight
war of words
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Brandon Cook has found some
bulletin board material to help motivate
him for his Canadian championship fight
on Saturday.
Not that he needed anything. The
thought of being referred to as ‘champ’ is
enough to push any boxer.
Cook, an Ajax native and former
member of the Motor City Boxing Club,
will step between the ropes and into the
ring on Saturday night at the Hershey
Centre in Mississauga where he will face
Fitz Vanderpool for the vacant Canadian
Jr. Middleweight (154 pound) title.
Cook, 26, is the up-and-comer,
sporting a perfect 9-0 record with five
knockouts. Vanderpool, at 45, is the
elder statesman, fighting for the third
time following a seven-year layoff, sport-
ing a record of 26-7 with 13 knockouts.
One paper referred to the fight as
The Whip, Vanderpool’s nickname,
against the whippersnapper. Vanderpool
played along in the story.
“I just read a thing in the paper of
him saying I’m going to have to bring
my water wings to the fight, and I can
call him dad when I see him because
of how old he is,” says Cook of reading
the pre-fight press clippings. “He is one
of the guys who likes to talk smack. He
said I was talking some smack. I don’t
know where he’s getting that from, but
it’s making me train harder.
“I don’t like talking bad about my
opponent. I guess he’s just trying to get
in my head.
“When I get there I’m just going to
smile and as soon as that bell rings, we’ll
see who’s smiling after.”
Cook, a fan favourite, will have about
500 people in his corner, reflective of the
number of tickets he has sold.
Also on the card will be Brock Arthur,
a Whitby resident who operates the
Ajax-based Durham Boxing Academy.
He is getting back into the ring after a
five-year retirement to fight in a cruiser-
weight bout.
Soccer hall of fame comes
calling for Peschisolido
Pickering native to
be among inductees to
Canadian soccer hall of
fame this weekend
al rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A Pickering soccer player
says he’s both surprised and honoured to
be among the inductees into The Soccer
Hall of Fame for Canada this weekend.
Paul Peschisolido, 42, who enjoyed a long
and successful career as a striker in English
professional soccer, not to mention playing
multiple times internationally for Canada,
will be one of three players inducted into
the hall in Toronto June 1 and 2. He’ll be
joined by Jason DeVos and Janine Helland.
For Peschisolido, who retired from com-
petitive soccer in England in 2008, being
named to the hall was surprising.
“It’s an absolute honour. It came as a
bit of a shock,” said Peschisolido over the
phone from his home in England. “I live
so far away and I thought I had been for-
gotten. People have such short memories.
But, when I got the call, I was extremely
pleased. It should be a lovely day. My fam-
ily will be there, too.”
Peschisolido will be accompanied by son
Paulo to Canada while attending the induc-
tion ceremonies this weekend.
He played 16 seasons in the English pro
soccer leagues with nine different clubs,
including Birmingham City, Stoke City,
West Bromwich Albion, Fulham, Queens
Park Rangers, Sheffield United, Norwich
City, Derby County and Luton Town. His
final season was with Luton Town in 2008.
Altogether, he played 447 games in Eng-
land’s football leagues where he scored 118
goals.
As well, he earned 49 international caps
while playing for Canada, which he ranks
among his fondest memories in the game.
“I think any time you can put on your
country’s jersey, it’s an honour. I did it
50-odd times and every time was special,”
he said.
He recalls how winning the Gold Cup
tournament as a member of Team Canada
in 2000 was one of his special moments in
the game.
“It was extremely special,” he said of
the unheralded Canadian squad, which
emerged victorious. “It was the first time
we had that kind of success. It stands out
head and shoulders above everything. For
a team like Canada, a complete under-
dog, to win while playing in the American’s
backyard was extra special.”
Peschisolido says he’s currently looking
for new opportunities in soccer in Eng-
land. He served as manager of Burton Albi-
on (English League Two) for three years
before he was let go by the club last March.
He’s hopeful that another opportunity will
present itself in the future.
“Nothing’s up as yet. I’ve had offers here
and there, but there’s been nothing appeal-
ing to me. I’ve been taking courses and
learning more about the game to prepare
myself for the next chapter when it comes
about.”
DURHAM -- Paul Peschisolido is being inducted into the soccer hall of fame for
Canada. The Pickering native enjoyed a long and successful career as a striker in
English professional soccer, not to mention playing multiple times internationally for
Canada.
Dolphins win big in season opener
PICKERING -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol-
phins OMFL Peewee team won their sea-
son opener 48-0 against the brand new
Toronto Jets.
The Toronto Jets came out strong from
the very beginning but were no match.
The Dolphins came out stronger with
Tyrell Meredith and Izzy O’Brien sharing
the majority of the points on the score-
board.
Defensively, linemen Brandon Breit-
er, Aamarii Notice and Michael Salwon-
chuk repeatedly stopped the Jets’ offence.
Much deserved credit to linebackers
Adian Simpson, Shaedan Currie and Kelly
McBride for making awesome tackles,
stopping the Jets in their tracks.
Offensively, linemen Malik Williams,
Matthew Thompson, Jonathan Wieder
and David Kozak were able to hold off the
Jets defenders allowing Dolphins quarter-
back Harris Towheed to successfully move
the ball down field.
The Dolphins House league program is
also underway. For more information visit
the website at info@dolphinsfootball.ca
or call the club info line at 905-999-7657.

Jr. B lacrosse club
loses fourth in a row
AJAX -- Matched against one of the top
teams in the conference, the Ajax Iron-
heads got some insight into where they
stand among the elite.
Turns out there is still some work to do.
The Ironheads travelled to Halton Hills
on Saturday to face the Bulldogs in a Jr. B
lacrosse game and were dumped quite
handily, 19-4. Halton Hills, along with
the Clarington Green Gaels, are the only
two teams in the Eastern Conference that
remain undefeated, the Bulldogs winners
of eight in a row and the Green Gaels nine
to open the season.
The loss dropped the Ironheads to 2-4 on
the season, extending their losing streak to
four games in a row.
James Malloy, Patrick Morgan, Kyle
McDermott and McNein Hewitt were the
goal scorers for the Ironheads, who trailed
9-2 after the first period and 15-2 after the
second.
The Ironheads managed to open the
scoring on a first period power play goal by
Morgan, but Halton Hills responded with
four in a row in just over three minutes and
never looked back. Hewitt stopped the run
for the Ironheads, making it 4-2, but Hal-
ton Hills scored five to close out the open-
ing 20 minutes, scored six unanswered in
the middle period, and opened the third
with four more in a row before the Iron-
heads closed out the score with goals by
Malloy and McDermott to end the game.
Things don’t get any easier for the Iron-
heads as they host Halton Hills tonight at
8 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre. Sat-
urday they are in Nepean and Sunday visit
Gloucester during an overnight eastern
trip.
Pickering
cyclists start
road racing
season
Youth Cup Series event
held in Windsor
WINDSOR -- Three Pickering road cyclists
started the 2013 Ontario Youth Cup Series
in commendable form in Windsor.
Youth cyclists from all over southwestern
and central Ontario participated.
The three cyclists race for the Madonna
Wheelers Cycling Club, and also train with
the Midweek Cycling Club out of Toronto.
The Windsor event was held at the closed-
circuit Ciociaro Club, which made for fast
racing with its gentle hill and wide turns.
Each racer did an individual time trial fol-
lowed by the mass-start road race, where
the action and tactics made for exciting
racing. Overall results were based on the
combined placings.
Jakob Meloche (age 14) finished sixth in
both the time trial and road race, for sixth
place overall in the boys Minime division.
Summer Sandford (age 13) parlayed two
seventh place finishes into sixth overall in
the girl’s Minime division.
Elizabeth Archbold (age 11) finished
fourth in the time trial, and used a strong
finishing sprint to get second in the road
race, for third overall in the peewee girl’s
division.
Their next race will be at the Ontario
Youth Cup event in Barrie.
