Currently, St. Wilfrid graduates must attend Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A group of Pickering parents in the St. Wilfrid commu- nity wants their children to attend high school in their hometown. In this unique situation, once students graduate from St. Wil- frid Catholic School in Pickering and move on to high school, the boundaries are drawn in a way that sends them to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, instead of St. Mary CSS in Pickering. Parents say this poses a problem because many of their children’s friends live in Pickering, and the sports teams they play on, and their places of worship are located in the municipality too. St. Wilfrid is in the Brock Road and Conces- sion 3 area. “All of a sudden you’re sending them outside of that entire social network,” said St. Wilfrid parent Paul Benedetti. Correction and apology The Pickering News Advertiser ran a story Oct. 23 on a terror- ism hoax at Pickering Nuclear plant with an accompanying file photo of a worker at the plant. The worker in the photograph was Sam Pablo. Mr. Pablo had absolutely nothing to do with the accompanying story. The photograph of Mr. Pablo was from 2011 and was a photo- graph that the News Advertiser had on file. The photograph had nothing to do with the story and should not have been used in connection with it. The News Advertiser apolo- gizes to Mr. Pablo.

Ajax resident Maria Rivamonte has lived in Canada for 14 years and while most of her immedi- ate family lives here, she has several cousins and other rela- tives still in the Philippines who live in the area affected by the Typhoon Haiyan, particularly in Leyte and Cebu provinces. She said the family was still trying to get in touch with one cousin while she was constant- ly watching news reports about the situation in her home coun- try.

Durham unicyclist training for a cross-Canada charity ride Rider gets a unique perspective on rural Durham Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion DURHAM -- On any sunny day resi- dents of Durham or Northumberland might see the curious sight of a man rid- ing a unicycle down a rural road, often juggling. “The kids love it. I love it. And it’s not just for the kids. All the people smile and wave,” said Duncan Tillson, the Bowmanville unicyclist. Mr. Tillson is informally training for a cross-Canada charity ride that he’s hop- ing to do in the future. He’s just waiting to connect with a sponsor and a worth- while cause. “I want to ride coast-to-coast for any- body that’s got a cause I agree with. My heart’s with kids,” said Mr. Tillson. “You look around and see so many causes.” He wants to support abused women, and volunteers with a home in Ajax for pregnant teenagers and Feed the Need Durham. Mr. Tillson is a born-again Christian and his big-wheel unicycle frame has a silver cross above the pedals. He was working with the children’s ministry in his church, when he learned to juggle to entertain the kids. He’d always wanted to ride a unicycle and decided to learn when he was 46. The most difficult part of learning to ride a unicycle was getting up on the seat, according to Mr. Tillson. “If you’re too aggressive you’ll fall off. If you’re not aggressive enough you won’t get up,” said Mr. Tillson, who’s philosophical about unicycle riding. “It’s plain and simple. It’s a message about balance, and don’t look back.” Now at 59, Mr. Tillson rides 40 kilo- metres a day, six days a week. His different routes take him from Bowmanville to Oshawa, Port Hope and Enniskillen. The most challenging hill is a two-tiered ramp in Tyrone by Mosport. “It’s more of a mental thing. If you put your brain in neutral you’ll be fine. If you’re look- ing at a hill in the distance, it will eat you up,” said Mr. Tillson. While rid- ing a unicy- cle up a hill may look daunting, it’s actu- ally trav- elling d o w n the incline that’s the more dangerous and difficult part. Mr. Tillson has four different uni- cycles. One can be taken apart and fit in an oversized suit- case when he travels with his wife. When they arrive he buys a bicycle for his wife and they give it away when it’s time to come home. Some of his favourite moments are riding his uni- cycle across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and the Lions Gate Bridge in British Columbia. “It’s so high and free it’s the next thing to flying,” said Mr. Tillson. Over the years, Mr. Tillson has gotten a unique perspective on rural Durham and Northumberland during his rides. He can use his unicycle to run errands with bags in each hand. If his hands aren’t carrying grocery bags, he’s often riding along the street juggling. “It gives you something to do, your hands are free. And it makes people laugh,” said Mr. Tillson, who lights up his unicycle to ride in the Newcastle Santa Claus Parade. “I always wear a helmet, mostly for the kids. I don’t believe in telling kids what to do. Show them. Be a posi- tive role model.” With the first snowfall of winter, Mr. Tillson takes his last ride and puts the uni- cycle away. He swims and does a box- ing work- out to keep in shape in the cold weather. “You miss it. In Feb- ruary if you get a day that’s 5 degrees, you go out,” said Mr. Tillson. WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- Duncan Tillson, a 59-year-old Bowmanville resi- dent, rides his unicycle roughly 40 kilometres a day. He would like to ride coast to coast for a worthwhile cause.

Kelly Gordon, a St. Wilfrid mother who has received a lot of guidance from Pickering Trustee Jim McCaf- ferty, says she knows around 10 parents who are just as concerned. “I think it’s a priority to have the kids that live in Pickering to be able to go to a Pickering high school,” she said. Some students are able to get an exception to the rule, but that poses a problem too. Mr. Benedetti’s daughter, for example, goes to St. Mary for the art pro- gram there. But since the school board does not offer cross-boundary transportation, she has to take Dur- ham Region Transit to school. “To us it would be much simpler from a transporta- tion standpoint for St. Mary versus Notre Dame,” said Mr. Benedetti. Since DRT doesn’t offer the restricted student pass this year, which cost less than $50 for Catholic stu- dents last year, parents are now paying $86.50 per month for the unlimited pass. At the Nov. 10 board meeting, and after hearing these concerns, trustees voted to provide transportation via the yellow and black school buses for students living in the St. Wilfrid area who attend St. Mary. The trans- portation, which will be provided for the remainder of the year, will be in effect by the end of November, said superintendent Ryan Putnam. “Forty-five students are currently attending St. Mary from the St. Wilfrid area,” he said. However, changing the boundaries isn’t as simple and requires due process. “Staff are bringing froward a boundary proposal realignment in principle at the next board meeting,” said superintendent Tim Robins. He indicated the proposal will include the bound- ary change the St. Wilfrid parents are looking for. Mr. Robins said once trustees give staff the go-ahead, they’ll begin community consultation on the bound- ary changes. The proposal will take into consideration other changes, such as the secondary French immer- sion program. The board is doing this swiftly so Grade 8 students can prepare for high school. Mr. Robins said ideally staff will consult the com- munity in early December and come back with a final report by the end of the month. It will then be up to trustees to approve the changes. PARENTS from page 1 Parents want St. Wilfrid grads to attend St. Mary in Pickering On Monday, Aug. 12, at about noon, a female suspect stole cash and a credit card from the wallet of an employee at a spa in Pickering, police said. Before the credit card could be reported stolen, it was used to buy $300 worth of items at a pharmacy. The suspect is a female with a dark complex- ion, 24 to 25 years of age, with a slim build and shoulder-length dark hair. Anyone with more information is asked to call Det. Mason of West Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2541.

An investigation into the incident, at the intersection of Westney Road and William- son Drive, continues. No charges have yet been laid, said Durham police spokesperson Jodi MacLean. The truck was northbound on Westney when it struck a light standard and then rum- bled through a concrete wall. The truck pro- ceeded through a fence, destroying trees and shrubs, before coming to a stop in a residen- tial driveway. A vehicle parked in the drive- way was damaged, Ms. MacLean said. The driver of the truck sustained minor injuries and the truck was heavily damaged. AJAX -- A dump truck lost control on Westney Road North near Williamson Drive and went careening through a fence ending up on the front lawn of another home.

Witness ‘can’t remember’ details of Ajax man’s murder Victim’s ex-lover on trial JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A murder trial ground to a halt Friday when a witness who was involved in the killing claimed he could remember almost nothing about the incident. “Can’t remember,” Jonathan Ebanks said repeatedly as prosecutor Kent Saliwonchyk asked him questions about the July 14, 2007 killing of 33-year-old Karl O’Reggio. While Mr. Ebanks admitted it was he who entered Mr. O’Reggio’s basement apart- ment and repeatedly stabbed the man -- Mr. Ebanks said he’d never met the victim prior to their fatal encounter -- he drew a blank when asked how he got to the Tresher Court house, or who he was with that day. “I stabbed him,” said Mr. Ebanks, who is serving a prison term after pleading guilty to the killing in 2010. The Crown contends Aimee Margaret McIntyre enlisted her boyfriend, Nathan “Bigs” Kelly and his pal, Mr. Ebanks, as she sought revenge on Mr. O’Reggio, with whom she had an acrimonious break-up. In his opening address to the jury Thursday Mr. Saliwonchyk said Ms. McIntyre drove with Mr. Kelly from Bobcaygeon to Ajax, stop- ping in Oshawa to pick up Mr. Ebanks, who was armed with a large knife. The Crown alleges Ms. McIntyre parked near Mr. O’Reggio’s home, pointed out the house to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks and then drove them from the area when they returned from the killing. She later helped them wash bloody clothes and dis- pose of the murder weapon, Mr. Saliwon- chyk said. Mr. Ebanks’s apparent unwillingness to cooperate in court Friday prompted Mr. Saliwonchyk to launch an application under the Canada Evidence Act. Arguments on that motion are being heard in the absence of the jury. Earlier Friday jurors heard evidence that Mr. O’Reggio was stabbed six times, sustain- ing five wounds to his chest. Two of those blows punctured his heart and were fatal injuries, Dr. Nihad Ali-Ridha testified. Ms. McIntyre, 31, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder but guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter as the trial began. Mr. Saliwonchyk rejected that plea on behalf of the Crown.

And the numbers are big enough, dis- turbing enough, that they require a society to act now more than ever to stem the flow of young lives that are ended by suicide. According to Children’s Mental Health Ontario, three teens die by suicide every week in the province. Across the nation, that number rises to 10 per week in results from University of Ottawa research, accord- ing to a special investigation by Metroland Media. That’s 10 young Canadian lives each week ended for a thousand personally compel- ling reasons, some related directly to ado- lescence, some to mental illness, and still others the result of a combination of fac- tors. Thrown into the mix with teenagers now- adays is the ability to instantly commu- nicate through social media and smart- phone text and video devices, which has led to high-profile suicide cases in Canada, namely those of Rehteah Parsons in Nova Scotia and Amanda Todd in British Colum- bia. In and of itself, adolescence is a difficult time for young men and women. They’re bodies are changing dramatically; they’re friends are becoming as or more important than family; they are enjoying more free- dom and confronting new responsibilities. Occasionally, circumstances can con- spire to overwhelm a young man or woman. Tragically, some choose suicide as a solution to their sadness, or frustration, or isolation. The deaths of Rehteah Parsons and Amanda Todd were tragic and heartbreak- ing, more so considering they were the victims of bullying. But their suicides also sparked a nationwide conversation that, until now, simply wasn’t taking place. But there is hope, and there is communi- ty supports that are available. Talk to your teen today to gauge where they’re at. Have they demonstrated out- of-the-ordinary behaviour? Have you ever discussed mental illness or depression with your teen? Have you talked about bul- lying, whether they’ve been victims or wit- nessed it at school or work? If so, or if you are concerned, help is avail- able, often at the click of a mouse. We must talk to one another, offer a wel- coming ear and strong shoulder. By raising awareness and educating each another, we arm ourselves with better tools to confront teen suicide, the factors that can lead to it, and the strategies to cope. A caution to pedestrians To the editor: If you live or work off of Westney Road between Rossland and Taunton you know we have a problem that begins in the eve- ning and goes until early morning. Only one side of the street is lit, we have buses mak- ing frequent stops, impatient drivers trying to pass plus the ones on my heart now -- pedestrians. I cannot say how many pedestrians I’ve seen on Westney Road North sporting full black in the dark of night. It might be fash- ionable, but that really won’t matter if you’re injured or killed because a motorist failed to see you. What adds to this dangerous mix is when this same pedestrian decides to jay- walk in the midst of traffic. You are writing your death certificate because as big and obvious as you might think you are, we can’t see you. And nowadays you might not even hear our horn if we could see you. Pedestrians might ask: “What about that dimly lit road and the fact that traffic lights are few and far between?” This is true, but you can make a change quicker than the Town or Region ever will. This is one driver’s caution for you, the pedestrian. I know you’re trying to get where you’ve got to go and in from the cold, but do what you must to arrive alive. Renae Jarrett, Ajax Get off the phone during dinner Last week my wife and I got to do some- thing we hadn’t done in a while, go out to din- ner, just the two of us. It was a perfect storm of timing so we took advantage. Unless we are out with friends, our usual takeout involves a trip to Wendy’s or some other fast food establishment. But this Saturday we sat down and ordered a meal. It took a while but we waited patiently. While looking around it hit me, people have a compulsive need to look at their smart phones. They can be a burden when work expects you to check 24/7 but they are great for keeping tabs on kids away at university. But on this night, at least one person at every table had a phone out. The most glar- ing example was a couple who arrived about five minutes after we did and she pulled out her phone as soon as they sat down. Only once did she acknowledge him with a com- ment about what she was reading. For maybe 10 minutes he sat and looked around the res- taurant while she surfed. He was obviously used to it because he didn’t say a word. My wife has started pointing out when I’m on the phone too much. It’s a habit I’m trying to break. Smart phones and texting have changed how we communicate. A face-to-face discus- sion allows you to read the other person’s expression. Did you cross a line? Has a com- ment been misinterpreted? That’s never pos- sible when texting. We run into this issue at work sometimes. Some public officials want to do interviews by e-mail. That’s a big no-no. The best interview is in person but if that isn’t possible, a phone is preferable to e-mail. There’s a time when you need your phone but standing in the line at a grocery store isn’t one of them. And sitting across from some- one in a restaurant definitely isn’t an appro- priate time. Managing editor Mike Johnston is working hard at putting his phone down throughout the night while at home. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Communication Still waiting for Santa in this on-demand world I guess everything really is a trade off. Nowadays, we can fire up our gas grills and have steak on the table in a matter of minutes, but we no longer get the mouth- watering aroma of charcoal briquettes or that hour or two of chatting around the bar- becue with a cold beer in our hands. In a couple of clicks we can instantly access the digitized history of the world, but we no longer get to interact with kindly librarians or sit in the amber-lit, meditative silence of the stacks. We can and do communicate instantly via e-mail and text but we have long forgotten the intimate pleasure of penning a heartfelt letter to a special friend and the delicious anticipation of waiting for and opening a handwritten reply. Is this really progress? Or a simple case of one step forward, two steps back? I won- der. A friend of mine, although she will deny it to the day they throw dirt over her, is of the same vintage as me. We are children of the ’70s. We have seen the world go from one or two channels of black and white television to the instantaneous gratification of thou- sands of streamed offerings, from Rocket- ship 7 and The Flintstones to live feeds from the Mars rover on YouTube. It truly boggles the mind. You can now watch pretty much anything you want whenever you want, wherever you want. I cannot remember the last time I even looked in a TV Guide. Do they still publish those? And what would be the point? You no longer really have to wait for anything. And that, my wise ’70s friend reminded me the other day, is kind of a shame. Most people of my generation and earli- er can easily remember, and with not a lit- tle pleasure, the sweet anticipation at this time of the year of waiting for your Christ- mas shows to come on the TV. VHS, DVD and PVR were just meaningless collections of consonants back then. Nobody streamed or recorded or bought a copy of anything. You couldn’t. If you wanted to watch The Grinch or Rudolph or Frosty you had to wait. You had to watch the television list- ings and plan that special night. And it was special. Because it was not endlessly, immediately, ridiculously available. I can remember, even as a 19-year-old, first-year university student, being at home on Christmas holiday and getting a phone call...yes, an actual voice call, no e-mail or text or tweet...from a pal of mine inviting me to join him and a bunch of the guys at his place that night. Rudolph was on. Of course I went. We had a ball, forgetting the worries of growing up and feeling like little kids again on a special, once-a-year night. I now own purchased copies of all of those wonderful, old seasonal favourites: Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, White Christmas. I can watch them when- ever I want. I can watch them as many times as I want. But do I? Not so much. Do I call the guys or anybody up to come over because Rudolph is on? No. And why would I? Everybody has Rudolph on their shelf or their hard drive. Magic disappears when things get commonplace. And what we have traded off in our bargain for instanta- neous gratification is the magic of anticipa- tion. Thank heavens we still have to wait for Santa. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 3 7 AP Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer, Question: If a federal election was held today, which party would you vote for?Poll Let’s Talk It’s been awhile, so Facebook users had plenty to say this week.

A Tim Hortons gift card if you are the Featured Letter authorFeatured Letter Laws needed to deal with scoundrel politicians To the editor: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, despite his bizarre, disturbing deportment while hold- ing his office, is hardly the first politician to ever find himself in egregious trouble, if not criminally, then in the equally significant court of public opinion. Besides an election, little or nothing can be done to remove such a person from office. Some voluntarily step aside until the allega- tions against them are cleared up while oth- ers are ordered to do so as a matter of party policy. Others, however, thumb their noses at the public and remain in office until the bitter end despite the fact they’ve badly worn out their welcomes. I believe that we need, at all levels of gov- ernment, actual recall processes such as the U.S. has to deal with those holding pub- lic offices for which they prove themselves unfit. It would be used sparingly and the test standard would and should be high but it’s necessary. Perhaps we need to adopt simi- lar legally binding laws. They’re supposed to be leaders, example setters and most, despite what we occasion- ally think, do their jobs admirably. Assur- ing an elected person that he or she is good to go for at least four years, no matter the mayhem that he causes while holding that office, is unfair to the taxpaying public. Public figures who, upon being revealed as scoundrels, tell us that they accept ‘full responsibility’ for their sordid conduct, knowing that there are no possible sanc- tions for their misdeeds, frankly make me sick. It reminds me of a person who is caught shoplifting and ‘apologizes’ but who isn’t so much as required to replace what he stole, never mind pay a fine or go to jail. Larry Wood Bowmanville Pat New: I wish that Christ- mas wasn’t so commercial- ized and that it is so crammed down our throats. Some radio stations decide that now is a good time to play Christmas music 24/7. By the time Christmas rolls around, I will be sooooooo sick of it all. Cheralin Sells: I get so mad when I take my kids places i.e. the Santa Claus Parade and adults stand right in front of the kids, seriously people these events are for the kids. Rant over. Maria McDougall: Traffic rules seem to have gone the way of the rabbit ears. A stop sign means ..give her!...you will know if that car wants your lane when they start to move over... and my favourite...get over to the passing lane of the 400 series highway because nobody will bother you there! Robyn Minnikin: All the college/university students that are waiting for the bus downtown in the morning. They block the entire side- walk and can clearly see people wanting to walk along the sidewalk but don’t get out of the way. It frustrates me every morning as I am walking to my office carrying coffees. Get out of the way! The bus won’t come any slower if you stand out of the way. Robin Eastcott: People who park on the curb outside a store for a quick in and out, rather than park in a regular spot like the rest of us: do they pay higher taxes than the rest of us?

Read the entire Digital Edition at durhamregion.com. Laurie Watt and Janis Ramsay newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Brenda Markus waited for her son’s body temperature to drop before she was able to leave him. “(People) tried getting me out of the room, and I wouldn’t leave until he went cold. As soon as I took my hand off his chest, I said ‘OK, he’s cold.’ I lifted my hand and said ‘I accept.’ That was it. You can’t do any- thing more about death.” Her son was Alex Clarke, an 18-year-old who loved the outdoors, and who took his own life on June 11, leaving behind his mom, sister, a girlfriend, many relatives, lots of friends and a job. The death of a child is a parent’s worst nightmare. Kari and Ken Smith understand the devas- tation it can cause too well. When their 17-year-old son, Cody, failed to show up at the breakfast table one February morning, the couple realized something was amiss and went upstairs to investigate. “My husband went up first and I heard him screaming ‘no, no, no’ and then I remember screaming so loud and for so long,” Kari said. The reason why still torments the Smiths. “He was very strong willed. We thought he had a great future. He talked about this future. I had no idea he couldn’t help him- self. Why couldn’t he come to us? He was our everything.” These parents are not alone in their anguish. Each week, three Ontario teens end their lives, Children’s Mental Health Ontario reports. CMHO’s information is from the front lines. It has represented and supported the providers of child and youth mental health treatment services throughout Ontario since 1972. Its core membership consists of more than 80 community-based children’s mental health centres that serve some 150,000 chil- dren and their families annually. Nationwide, 10 teens kill themselves week- ly and, for each one, there may be another 200 who attempt suicide, according to Uni- versity of Ottawa research. At Distress Centre Durham, volunteers field about 8,000 calls per year to the organi- zation’s 24-hour crisis line. Executive director Victoria Kehoe says about 18 per cent of those were related to suicide in 2012. “That’s a significant increase of about 10 per cent,” she says, noting the callers include people who are thinking about suicide them- selves, as well as those calling on behalf of someone, or those who have lost someone to suicide. National helplines are also getting many calls about suicide. In 2012, Kids’ Help Phone reported six per cent of the 5,000 calls received each week -- approximately 300 calls -- were related to suicide. Jason, whose last name is withheld because of KHP policy, has been a counselling man- ager at the non-profit organization for more than 20 years. He said calls are received daily from kids who are considering ending their lives, those in the midst of seriously hurt- ing themselves and friends who are worried about someone else. “We have kids as young as 10 or 11 who are suicidal -- for so many different reasons,” Jason told Metroland. “Bullying can often be misconstrued as a cause for a young person attempting or dying by suicide. It’s just a single component of a much bigger wheel. Within that, you will have addictions, historical abuse, family dys- function and divorce, problems at school and peer pressure.” In 2009 -- the most recent year for which Statistics Canada has data on suicide -- 474 people between ages 15 and 24 died by sui- cide. And those numbers, said CMHO president Gordon Floyd, aren’t accurate. “There’s a fair bit of cleaning up of the data before it’s reported,” Mr. Floyd explained. “It’s because of the shame. For young people, apart from car accidents, suicide is the lead- ing cause of death.” CMHO research shows one in 10 students in Grades 7 to 12 reported having seriously considered suicide. Just weeks ago, Avery Parker lost a peer, a popular student, who took her own life. Now a youth facilitator, Parker hopes to help others like the student, who struggled with depression. Mental issues and depression are a theme for many youth who take their own lives. “Although life is full of possibilities in your teen years, it’s also full of difficult choices and transitions,” Mr. Floyd explained. “It can be troublesome. They’re trying to find their way or place in their social circles and structures, and navigate what can be difficult waters. “The whole process turns out well for most of us, but it’s still a very difficult one and causes a huge amount of anxiety and that can cross the line to depression and feelings of hopelessness.” Bullying can shake those who have a shaky self-image more profoundly, triggering an attempt to end their lives. “One in four kids in Ontario has been bul- lied in the past year. Most kids are able to deal with it and move on, but some kids are vul- nerable because they don’t have the confi- dence and skills to take it in stride or bounce back,” Mr. Floyd explained. There is hope. The key for parents is to raise a resilient child, who can cope with the bumps and bruises along the way, and grow into a resil- ient adult who can deal with the stresses of working in uncertain times, he explained. Because many mental health issues emerge before age 20, Ontario acknowledged this two years ago with a $257-million mental health strategy for children, which aims to address the long waiting lists by bolstering not only community supports but linking mental health nurses with schools. The earlier an individual can get help, the better chances he or she will acquire the tools needed to be resilient enough to cope with struggles. Ms. Kehoe, from Distress Centre Durham, says it’s vital for parents and caregivers to ask about suicide directly if there is any concern. “Don’t be afraid to use the word suicide; if you don’t you may not get a clear answer. Saying something like ‘are you thinking of hurting yourself?’ isn’t clear ... adolescents engage in self-harm behaviours that don’t have anything to do with suicide,” she notes.

Pickering resident George Lalata is the president of the Filipino Basketball Association of Durham and is also plan- ning a fundraiser, a charity basketball tournament in January to benefit relief efforts in the Philippines through the Our Lady of the Assumption church in Toronto. He said that will be the first of several charity tournaments. “Obviously the relief efforts it’s not just one months or two months, it will prob- ably be ongoing for years to come.” Mr. Lalata said at least one member of the basketball association had family impacted by the typhoon and everyone was deeply upset by the scenes broad- cast from the Philippines. “The amount of devastation, every- thing was flattened in that region from the houses, the buildings, the hospitals are all gone, they’re just trying to clean up the airport runway so relief from other countries can land.” A week since the typhoon hit, it’s clear there is much that can be done for vic- tims of the typhoon. “I hope the Filipino people and the Fil- ipino community will continue to help,” said Ms. Rivamonte. “And hopefully they won’t forget the people that are still there.” Ne w s t i p ? n e w s r o o m @ d u r h a m r e g i o n . c o m CandlelightService Celebration Thisholidayseason,youareinvited toaspecialnondenominational candlelightservice celebratingthe memoryofyour lovedones.

Durham Regional Police Boy struck by bus in Pickering expected to recover PICKERING -- A teenager sustained serious injuries when he was hit by a bus near a Pickering high school Nov. 13. No charges have been laid but Durham police continue to investigate the accident, on Liverpool Road near Pine Ridge Secondary School at about 2:45 p.m. Police said a 14-year-old boy was struck when he crossed Liverpool Road in the path of a Durham Region Transit bus. The boy suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery, police said. Pickering makes return trip to OFSAA Girls’ basketball team opens provincials Thursday in Windsor Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Attending the OFSAA basketball championships will be a whole new expe- rience this time around for Pickering High School coach Mike Gordensky. While the long-time and successful coach has been to the provincial championships about 10 times over his 21-year coach- ing career, this time will be the first with the girls' team. All of his previous trips have been with boys’ teams he has guided. Granted, he didn’t coach girls’ teams all the time during his career. He knows what it takes to win against the best in the province, and he has no doubt that this year’s edition of the Trojans girls’ team can pull it off when the Quad-A cham- pionships get underway Thursday in Wind- sor. “Most OFSAA games are low scoring. Our defence has been sensational pretty much every game,” he says. “We don’t usually score a lot of points when we’re playing elite teams. Our defence at OFSAA will give us a chance against anyone. “Our team is tough. These girls are tough. They don’t care who they play. They don’t back down.” That was evident during a perfect run of 9-0 in LOSSA league play, outscoring the opposition by a 463-172 margin, the lowest total against by more than 60. In the playoffs, Pickering dominated J. Clarke 51-19 in the semifinals, and then rallied from a slow start to dethrone defending LOSSA champion Notre Dame 51-35 in the Nov. 13 title game at Durham College. Pickering actually trailed 9-2 at one point in the first quarter, but Rachel Woodburn came in off the bench and scored six straight points to turn the momentum around. Pickering moved ahead 25-14 by the half and never looked back. “We wore them down,” says Gordensky of his team’s strong defensive play against Notre Dame. “We got out and ran in transition and started making some shots. They couldn’t handle our pressure. We were just too quick.” Pickering has been seeded fifth at the 16-team tournament, and will open up against No. 15 Centennial of Guelph. Two- time defending OFSAA champion St. Thom- as More from Hamilton is first, followed by Toronto's Blessed Pope John Paul II, Bar- rie's Eastview and St. Edmund Campion of Brampton. Pickering was missing three starters in an overtime loss to Pope in the semifinals of the Notre Dame Classic tournament, and came up short by just four points to Campion at a tournament hosted by Centennial College. “Honestly I don’t care what we’re seeded. We were a No. 1 seed and lost two straight,” he recalls of a boys’ team from 2010 that was seeded first overall at the OFSAA champion- ships at Durham College, only to bow out in two straight after a pair of losses. “The seeding at this point doesn’t matter, as long as you’re in the tournament you have a chance.” As strong as Pickering has been this sea- son, Gordensky expects more of the same next year from a lineup that is predomi- nantly comprised of Grade 11 players. Only one starter will move on to graduation, and seven of the top eight players on the team are expected to return. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 3 15 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 OSHAWA -- Pickering High School’s Chelayne Bailey went for the hoop past Notre Dame’s Deline Hopkinson in the LOSSA AAAA senior girls’ basketball championship game at Durham College. Pickering won 51-35 to advance to this week’s OFSAA championships in Windsor. Jason Liebregts / Metroland AJAX -- Ajax FC alumni Brandon Chiu, Peter Boylan and Ryan Boylan will be looking for an NCAA championship with Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. The Boylan’s are in their second year and Chiu is in his third year. They won the PSAC Division II cham- pionship in an unbelievable performance. The team played in the semifinal to a double overtime scoreless tie and won in a shoo- tout to be able to play in the finals. The 24th-ranked Slippery Rock University men’s soccer team won its seventh Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title in program history with a thrilling 3-2 double overtime win at No. 13 Mercyhurst University in the league championship game. The PSAC title is the seventh in program history and the first since 2009 for Slippery Rock. The win almost certainly cements Slip- pery Rock’s place in the NCAA tournament. Peter Boylan earned an assist on a crossing pass on the first Slippery Rock goal in the championship game, with Chiu work- ing his magic for an assist on the game-win- ner. Ajax FC alumni looking for NCAA soccer championship with Slippery Rock Generals get wound up for Super Series Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- There's no rest for the weary, it's been said. But, as tired as they may well be, four mem- bers of the Oshawa Generals will have no problem getting up for their next game, on Thursday at the General Motors Centre. Forwards Scott Laughton and Michael Dal Colle, defenceman Josh Brown and goal- ie Daniel Altshuller, all key contributors to the Generals' impressive 18-5-0-1 start, will represent the Ontario Hockey League in leg three of the Subway Super Series against a Russian junior national team. They be guided by a familiar hand, too, as D.J. Smith will head the Generals' coaching staff for the game, which is slated for a 7 p.m. start. "It's a tough week for us," said Smith, whose Generals will face two tough tests against Kingston and Barrie on the weekend. "It kind of takes the focus away from our team a little bit, but at the same point it's an exciting time for a lot of guys." Particularly so for Laughton, perhaps, given that he also has three former teammates from his Toronto Marlies minor midget team playing in the game, defencemen Matt Finn and Adam Pelech as well as forward Connor Brown. "It's kind of the best of both worlds com- ing together," said Laughton. "To be able to play that game is going to be a thing in junior hockey that I won't forget, for sure. "I think my parents bought about 25 tick- ets for that game," he added. "I'm definitely looking forward to it." Altshuller will likely be the most tired of the Oshawa group, considering he's start- ed 12 games in a row for the Generals in the absence of injured backup Ken Appleby. He'll being coming in midway through Thursday's game, however, as Sault Ste. Marie's Matt Murray will get the start, as dic- tated by Hockey Canada. "Whenever you play for Team Canada, there's no tiredness, there's no fatigue," Alt- shuller said Sunday, after being named the first star in a 4-1 loss to the Windsor Spit- fires. "You've got so much adrenaline going, it won't be a problem." Laughton, who has 17 goals and 35 points in 20 games with the Generals, and Josh Brown, the team's captain, will also play in Monday's game in Sudbury. Dal Colle and Altshuller will only play in Oshawa, while Smith will hand over the coaching reins to London's Dale Hunter for Monday's match. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 3 16 AP 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com CONTACTUS TODAY! • BUSINESS • TECHNOLOGY • HEALTHCARE • LAW • SUPPLY CHAIN 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com OSHAWA: 200 JOHN ST.
