Specifically, it resonated deep- ly with starved fans of the Oshawa Generals. Mr. Armstrong’s fluttering point shot managed to find its way through a crowd, off a Kitchener Rangers defenceman and past goal- ie Mike Torchia to produce a 4-3 win, deliriously ending a 46-year drought and delivering the Gen- erals their fourth national junior hockey championship.

Dubbed the Lost Boys, the six teens vanished March 17, 1995 after a security camera caught three of them breaking into the East Shore Marina on French- man’s Bay in the wee hours of the morning. It’s believed the boys stole two boats and went for an ill-fat- ed ride on the dark and frigid waters of Lake Ontario.

The proposed merger between the Rouge Valley Health System and the Scarborough Hospital has hit a snag over money. Over the weekend, the board of directors for TSH voted to end merger talks. On Friday, Health Minister Deb Matthews sent a letter to each hospital corporation, noting the Province is aware of “potential upfront fiscal challenges associated with the proposed merger.” Ms. Matthews added, “As a result of your efforts and the detailed work completed to date, I am pleased to confirm that our government is committed to taking the next step in supporting your hospitals’ vision, through an additional $3 million in one-time funding.” In its reply to the minister, RVHS hinted the merger has only tempo- rarily stopped. “We will continue to refine the costs of integration and the financial benefits that can be realized from the merger of RVHS and TSH and assure you of our commitment to working with you to move the merger to completion in due course,” the Rouge Valley let- ter noted.

Strap on a bib for Pickering Rotary Wing Festival First annual event is April 11 Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering, get your wet naps ready. Building on the success of its annual Ribfest, the Rota- ry Club of Pickering is adding a second saucy event to its yearly lineup. The first annual Pickering Rotary Wing Festival is planned for April 11 at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. “It seemed like there was a real craving for an event at this time of year,” says Leon Presner, the club’s presi- dent-elect and director of community service. So far there are five “wingers” on board, ready to serve up everything from traditional Buffalo wings to wood- fired, Caribbean and gluten-free options. “There will be all kinds of sauces, everything from sweet to suicide,” Mr. Presner says. The inaugural event is also set to feature other food options, beer from a craft brewery, a live DJ and ven- dors. The Rotary Club of Pickering has seen big success with its annual spring Ribfest, which raises about $80,000 to $100,000. One hundred per cent of funds raised at Rotary events stay in the community. Mr. Presner says the club hopes the Wing Festival will be a similar hit, especially because it’s indoors and not dependent on good weather. “This is an event we want to grow in the coming years, we’re hoping people will be excited about it.” The Pickering Rotary Wing Festival takes place April 11 from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. Admission is $5 and wings are purchased separately. For more information, visit www.pickeringwing- festival.com or connect on social media by searching “Pickering Rotary Wing Festival” on Facebook or fol- lowing the event on Twitter @pickwingfest. ‘‘There will be all kinds of sauces, everything from sweet to suicide.’ Leon Presner, commenting on the upcoming inaugural Pickering Rotary Wing FestivalAjax holding Earth Hour event AJAX -- Before Earth Hour, Ajax is hosting a two-hour event to mark the occasion.

The injury was caused when someone shot the cat with a pellet gun, shattering the leg. The cat was shot 16 times, but is expected to recover. Submitted photo Abused Oshawa cat ‘stable, doing well’ Surgery to repair animal’s broken leg planned Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- SPCA officers are following up on a couple of tips in the search for the person who fired 16 pellets into a cat last week. The cat, named Matty by Humane Society of Durham Region staff, also suffered a broken right front leg in the attack and surgery could be done on Thursday, said Bar- bara Steinhoff, the society’s executive director. The 16 pellets are “sitting just under the skin. They haven’t penetrated any organs and most of the pellets will be left where they are,” Ms. Steinhoff noted. Leaving them is “better for Matty. There’s no potential for long-term harm, so it’s really best for him.” Meanwhile, officials are looking for the person or peo- ple responsible for the cat’s injuries. “There are a couple of tips we want to look into,” said Debby Houghton, the SPCA offi- cer with the Durham humane society. The injured orange tabby was found Friday, March 14 when Oshawa Animal Services was called to pick up a stray in the Thornton Road and Champlain Avenue area of Oshawa. The humane society took custody of the cat when a medical assessment discovered, in addition to a severe break to his front right leg, the cat had been shot 16 times with a pellet gun. X-rays clearly show the pellets lodged throughout the cat’s body. Ms. Houghton noted, “The severe break to the front leg was caused by a BB and it’s not an old injury. It was from close range.” Ms. Steinhoff, who described herself as “an animal lover and advocate” noted, “It’s important to think how some- one can cause harm, the extensive harm done to Matty. “We believe the cause of the break is a shatter from a pellet. The shot was fired fairly close,” she added. On Wednesday, Matty was “stable and doing well. He’s on pain meds,” Ms. Steinhoff said, noting the hope is Matty will have surgery on Thursday to fix his leg. Matty is staying at the Toronto Humane Society, where the surgery would be done. The cost of the surgery could be between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on what is done. Pins could be insert- ed, a mesh or, possibly, amputation. While amputation is a possibility, Ms. Steinhoff added, “The last word we heard is they’re able to repair it.” For people, the thought of amputation is “a horrible, horrible thing to do. For an animal, it’s not. They bounce back quickly. It causes us more heartbreak. We’re hop- ing that won’t be the case for Matty,” she said. “He’s an absolute sweetheart. He’s very friendly. Even when he was first looked at and he wasn’t on pain medi- cation, he was still purring. He’s a friendly, wonderful cat,” Ms. Steinhoff noted. Ms. Houghton noted if the person responsible is caught and charged, under the Ontario SPCA Act, he or she would face fines of up to $60,000 and up to two years in jail, along with a prohibition of owning an animal. There could also be charges under the criminal code, she added. Investigators don’t yet know if Matty is a stray or had been lost. If a reward is offered, that decision would have to be made by the society’s board of directors, she said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the humane society at 905-665-7430. -- with files from Kristen Calis 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 • Ma r c h 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP DONATE ITTO KIDNEY CAR Proceedsbenefit TheKidneyFoundationofCanada •FastFreeTowing •TaxReceipt(min.$300) •EnvironmentallyFriendlyProgram •ProgramAcceptsVehiclesofAnyAge Visit www.kidneycar.ca or call 1.866.788.2277 Has y our c ar r eached the end of the r oad?

E905-571-2555 Echocardiograms give doctors a better image to work with Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Three new state-of-the-art echocardiograms at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital are giving doctors better images so they can provide better patient care. The three units, along with a portable machine, are in constant use, said Dr. Joe Ricci, program chief of Rouge Valley’s Car- diac Care Program. Money for the machines was raised pri- marily last year with the Heart of It All cam- paign. Also, Durham Region donated $1.5 million to the hospital, with $1 million used towards the purchase of an MRI and the remainder for the echocardiograms. Each machine costs about $250,000. Dr. Ricci said the machines take “an image of the heart. It allows us to see an image of the heart. We can see the walls, the valves, we can see how the heart is working. We can see fluid around the heart. We can see clots really well.” The hospital had been using echocardio- grams that were 10 years old, he added. “The images weren’t as good. This is state-of-the-art, the quality of the image and what we can do with it,” Dr. Ricci noted. He noted the three machines are “all in use non-stop. We’re talking about getting another one. All three are busy all the time. “It’s pretty exciting. We can use them anywhere we need it -- here or in the ER,” he said while showing off the machines in the cardiac diagnostics unit. Software for the machines can be updat- ed, the doctor noted. “The quality of the software makes the difference.” Durham Region Chairman Roger Ander- son said, “If we don’t have good quality health care, companies won’t look toward Durham. Along with the college and uni- versities, it’s that important.” For the Region, he said, it was “a good investment.” YOU Buy It WE Load It WE Deliver it S T E P1 S T EP2 S T E P3 Call Today! 905-903-0424 bettergogetter.com Service Made Simple,NoWaiting 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 New tools to fight heart ailments at Ajax-Pickering hospital AJAX -- Dr. Joseph Ricci, medical director of the Regional Cardiac Care Program, showed one of the new echocardiogram machines at Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering, which had a campaign last year to raise money to buy three new machines.

Ingredients include coconut milk, garlic, shallots, red and yellow peppers, curry, cumin, honey, heavy cream and white wine. Instead of traditional rice, the curry is served over a bed of orzo, which is a rice-shaped pasta. “It’s a really good bal- ance of flavours,” the chef says. It costs: About $15 (new menu prices still being finalized) It tastes like: A blend of sweet and heat. We’re looking for independent local restaurants with an interesting dish to share.

The much-loved Olympian, who won medals for Canada in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games (cycling and speed-skating) in her storied career, is now embarking on one of the biggest challeng- es of her life, but one that she holds dear and which she is also uniquely qualified to discuss with fellow Canadians: mental illness. It’s all part of the Bell Let’s Talk tour designed to eliminate the stigma asso- ciated with mental illness, to encourage Canadians to openly discuss it, its impact on individuals, families and society, and to raise awareness about the its preva- lence. Statistics from the Canadian Institute for Health Information indicate that fully one in five Canadians have experienced or will experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime. Ms. Hughes has in the past struggled with depression and uses her experiences to start anew the conversations that must be had in our communities to eliminate the stigma. And though the tide seems to be turn- ing, there is still much work to do to edu- cate people, to confront the easy cliches and to change perspectives. Sadly, there remain some vestiges of ignorance surrounding mental illness. Those who suffer mood disorders, for example, don’t have bandages or casts that announce to the world they are suf- fering and healing. Consequently, some are still being told to “pull up their boots” or “think happy thoughts”, as if their ail- ment is not an illness but a character flaw. These are precisely the notions that must change, and the Bell Let’s Talk tour, led by Ms. Hughes, will go a long way towards eliminating the stigma, changing those perspectives, informing the larger public. Two events Ms. Hughes is spearheading locally this week give Durham Region res- idents an opportunity to show their sup- port for the effort in our society to talk more openly about mental illness. She’s at a public skating event at the Leg- ends Centre in Oshawa on Friday, March 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. hosted by Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, and is speaking at Whitby’s Abilities Cen- tre Saturday, March 22 at 9:30 a.m. Each event provides an opportunity to learn more, share more, and heal more as it relates to mental illness. The time is long past to address the issue. Let’s talk. -- Pickering News Advertiser Cancer study compares apples and potatoes To the editor: Re: ‘No link between Pickering tritium emissions and cancer rates, study finds ‘, news, durhamregion.com, March 12, 2014. Yet another study insists that there is no relationship between living near a nuclear plant and childhood cancer. The unfortunate weakness of this and other studies is that they only look at the people living near a reactor on a certain date. They do not take into account: Length of time lived there; distance from reactor; place of employment of parents; employ- ment near reactor or elsewhere; employ- ment near reactor but residence else- where; employment at the nuclear plant and living in the area; employment at the nuclear plant but living elsewhere; school proximity to reactor. So, they are comparing apples and pota- toes. Kate Chung Toronto Do your part for spring cleaning To the editor: Now that the mounds of snow have begun to thaw out we are faced with the unsightly mess of the hard winter and all the buried garbage. While we start moving around outside from a long winter’s hibernation let us all take a look around our streets and neigh- bourhoods. Let’s make a pledge to ourselves to pitch in and pick up garbage that was frozen over or has blown out of blue bins and let’s put it into our trash or a garbage can some- where. We as residents have to pitch in and clean up our streets and neighbourhoods that have risen from the cold dark winter and are currently in a very sad state of dis- array. Joe Arruda Cheque mates? To the editor: Just when you think there’s nothing left for the Ontario Liberals to screw up, out comes a scheme not to give taxpayers their refunds all at once (we might spend it all on beer and chips). Instead, the provincial government will give us a couple of bucks a month or one big cheque a whole year later (with no interest). You’d (hopefully) almost think they real- ize they’re likely not going to be around after the next election if they can’t cover it, or they’re possibly testing the waters for a new CPP plan, like collecting pension money but not giving it back. It’s the Liberal way to govern. Rupert Cameron 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 • Ma r c h 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP LIVE WELL... STAY WELL... BE INSPIRED...

Disposal of expired or unused meds Every year, many families are faced with the challenge of how to dispose of medicines that are not entirely con- sumed. Prescriptions change, symp- toms improve, and for some reason there’s just a little bit of medication left. All these situations can leave people wondering what to do with the unused medicine. Although residents have been able to dispose of medication for free at the local waste management facilities, or at municipal hazardous and special waste events held across the region, not everyone takes advantage of this option. Safe disposal options are now closer than ever before. In addition to Regional waste management facili- ties, you can drop off medications at a pharmacy near you. The Ontario Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, in co-operation with Steward- ship Ontario, administers the Take It Back program, allowing unused medi- cation to be safely disposed of at your local pharmacy counter. Taking medica- tion back to the pharma- cist under the Take It Back program makes disposal both convenient and safe. Residents are encouraged to think before they throw and keep haz- ardous waste out of the environment. Medication should never be thrown in the trash, flushed down the toilet or simply left to pile up in the medicine cabinet. Proper disposal of unneeded med- ications protects our environment, our communities and our families. When disposing of medication at the phar- macy or waste management facilities, remember to take your containers and labels away with you. You should dispose of these con- tainers and labels with personal iden- tification information yourself. Now is a great time to see if any of your medications should be discarded because they have expired or are no longer needed. Air monitoring program for Durham could cost big bucks Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A new report says it could be a pricey proposition for Durham to start its own regional air monitoring program. In October, regional council asked staff to look into the logistics and costs of an air moni- toring program. Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster and Clar- ington Councillor Mary Novak initially raised the idea, but stressed it’s not about beefing up monitoring for the new Courtice incinerator. “It’s not related to the incinerator ... it’s relat- ed to air quality across Durham,” Mayor Fos- ter said at the October meeting. He said mobile units are being used suc- cessfully in Hamilton, Halton and York. Halton Region was the first to use its own fixed and mobile monitors to test for ground- level ozone, fine particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monox- ide. This week Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son reiterated that a proposed air monitoring program has “nothing to do with the incinera- tor. “It is a mobile device, it can go anywhere in the region ... it’s not going to be parked under the stack,” he said. Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond called his comments “farcical. “I do not see how these can be separated,” she said. A new report from Region staff lays out four possible options for an air monitoring pro- gram -- hand-held monitors, portable moni- tors, mobile trucks and a mobile laboratory. Speaking at regional council’s March 5 meeting, concerned resident Wendy Bracken said the Region should take another approach all together. “The Region of Durham actually owns some major industrial polluters,” she said, referencing the Duffin Creek waste water treatment plant in Pickering and the Courtice incinerator. Instead of looking into a mobile monitoring program, Ms. Bracken said the Region should focus on source monitoring at those facilities -- in particular continuous particulate moni- toring at the incinerator stack. According to the report, hand-held and por- table monitors are the least expensive, with a starting price of $85,000 and $90,000 respec- tively for capital costs. But both have limi- tations in terms of what they are capable of monitoring. A mobile truck or lab would be able to accomplish more -- but they’re also the most expensive options. The report says a mobile truck would cost between $250,000 and $400,000, topped off with $25,000 to $35,000 in annual mainte- nance. Even pricier, a mobile lab would cost between $1.2 million and $1.9 million plus $30,000 to $50,000 in annual maintenance. Regional council voted to refer the air moni- toring report to several advisory committees for comment, as well as to local municipali- ties.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Otter nonsense along the lakefront What thrilled me more I couldn’t say -- my rarest sighting of winter, on the very day the red-winged blackbirds came back. Both happened right after the big snowfall last week, leaving a pristine win- ter landscape, only with surround-sound cardinals singing, and sure enough, the hoarse joyful screeches of red-wings, our first. A strange but perfect afternoon. We were out for a walk across Corbett Creek Marsh in south Whitby. After peri- ods of deep freeze, my husband and I often take advantage of ice on ponds and wetlands to explore areas we can’t reach most of the year. This winter our favou- rite haunts froze solid for months, and subsequent snows left a crunchy surface for good traction. That particular day five inches of fresh powder recorded the pas- sage of every creature out and about since the snow stopped falling -- deer, cotton- tails, red squirrels, mice. And all the way down the middle of the marsh a peculiar, eight-inch-wide drag mark. “Cross-country skis?” Dennis asked. I was closer to the odd-looking track, and shook my head. “Nope, otter.” I was guessing, but knowing how those lively, short legged mammals love to slide down banks on their bellies, it made some sense. The marsh was flat, obvious- ly, and the snow deep enough that the animal had plowed a trench with its body as it loped along. And when we peered down and saw the double, flat-footed prints pressed in the trench, we agreed they were made by an otter, the largest member of the weasel family in Ontario. It must have come all the way down Corbett Creek and out onto the marsh, finally heading into the cattails halfway to Intrepid Park. When we crossed the strip of trees on the barrier beach and reached the lakeshore, the same curi- ous drag mark was present, running atop the built-up ice banks. Not far from the mouth of the creek the otter had slid chest-first down the snow-covered pil- lows of ice and entered the open water. Fish make up their main diet in winter, and with the creek and marsh ice so thick this one was likely coming fishing in Lake Ontario. Wearing some of the warmest, dens- est fur of any Canadian mammal, otters can tolerate swimming in frigid waters. Instead of putting on a layer of fat for insulation, they have interlocking hairs that trap air beneath their coat, ensur- ing that no water touches their skin. The northern river otter section in the won- derful, recently published Natural His- tory of Canadian Mammals, by Donna Naughton, says that their guard hairs and underfur “achieves an average density of 57,833 hairs per square centimetre in the mid-back area.” How they got such a frisky, playful animal to stay still while someone counted them is a mystery.

This Tuesday, it happened again. I grudgingly opened the press release and read with horror the case of little Matty, an orange tabby, assumed to be a stray cat. He was found in the Champlain Ave- nue and Thornton Road area of Oshawa, severely injured. Oshawa Animal Services found the cat and handed him over to the Humane Society of Durham Region after a veteri- narian determined he had been shot 16 times with a pellet gun and had a severe break to his front right leg -- a clear case of animal abuse. When I called the humane society to ask how Matty is doing, I was relieved to hear that he’s OK, but he’s severely med- icated. His pellet gun wounds appear to be non-life threatening, but executive director of the Durham humane soci- ety, Barbara Steinhoff, said that could change at any moment. Matty was due for surgery, and I can only hope he pulls through and ends up with a loving home in the end. But what broke my heart even more was hearing how loving Matty was with the staff, how he’s still open to the human touch. They didn’t even have to restrain him when doing the initial exam. “Honestly I can’t believe how friendly he is,” said Ms. Steinhoff. How someone could be cruel to a crea- ture such as Matty is beyond my com- prehension, and I’m sure most people can’t understand it either. But it happens again and again and as easy as it is to turn a blind eye to animal abuse, doing so doesn’t do any good for the animals. Disgustingly enough, a case similar to Matty’s occurred just outside of Sarnia last month. Joe the cat was found by the side of the road with as many as 17 pellet wounds to his head. Amazingly, he is on the mend, but he did lose an eye. Thankfully, a 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old man were arrested for the crime. I don’t know if these people have no respect for animals, or if they are not taught compassion at a young age. Or are they are simply bad people? But I do know we need to be the eyes and ears for animals. Thankfully, some- one called Oshawa Animal Services when they had concerns about Matty. Call the humane society at 905-665- 7430 if you have any information on Matty’s case. Also, call the humane society if you suspect animal cruelty. If it’s an emer- gency, call police. Penalties may not be strict enough, but it is against the law to abuse an animal. These people should have to pay, or at least be stopped from doing it again. Those wishing to help support Matty’s veterinary care may donate online at www.humanedurham.com or by texting HSDR to 20222 to donate $10 through their mobile device.

Each year the boys’ families gather at Frenchman’s Bay to remember 17-year- old Jay Boyle, 18-year-old Chad Smith and 17-year-old Robbie Rumboldt of Pickering; 17-year-old Jamie Lefebvre of Scarborough; 17-year-old Michael Cum- mins of Oshawa; and 16-year-old Danny Higgins of Ajax. “We do our usual thing, we go down to the beach, we bring balloons, we write messages for the boys, we bring flowers,” said Amanda Boyle, Jay’s sister. The families usually share memories of the teens with each other, but this year was different as the discussion centred on a possible lead in the case. Ms. Boyle said in October, the fam- ily became aware that human remains found near the Niagara River in 1998 were wearing a pair of red jeans like the ones her brother was wearing when he disappeared. Another set of human remains was found nearby. The families have asked Niagara police to conduct a DNA test, but so far police have declined to do so, citing costs and because they don’t believe it could be the boys, given the currents in the area. Ms. Boyle said her family is willing to pay for the cost of the test and they have created an online petition asking for it. It has already garnered more than 4,500 signatures. “You don’t know whether it’s just you wanting it to be him, wanting closure, but there are too many similarities ... if it turns out it’s not him, then we go back to wondering,” said Ms. Boyle, adding that the other set of remains could be one of the other boys. Meanwhile, Jay’s daughter Kierra is closing in on her 20th birthday. She joined Ms. Boyle to mark her father’s disappearance. Just three months old in March 1995, Kierra has had to learn about her father through his family. “On her 16th birthday we gave her stuff that was his, we gave her letters he wrote to her mom,” said Ms. Boyle. For the first time in 16 years, Jay’s mother also went to Frenchman’s Bay. “She came because she wanted to be there for me and my sisters and more or less she had a little bit of hope that we’re finally going to bring him home,” said Ms. Boyle.

Walter Donaldson, the chairman of the Friends of the Ajax-Pickering hospital, said conditions pledged to TSH “haven’t come through. Maybe we should have done that too. It’s hard to know.” Asked if the TSH decision was a speed bump, he said. “Could be, could be. They’re asking for a lot of money. I’m at a loss. They’ve done so much work on it. Is (the merger) in our best interest, I don’t know.” Boards from each hospital held sepa- rate meetings Saturday to discuss a merger, which had been proposed to save money and improve patient care on a long-term basis. Rouge Valley’s board voted unanimously to continue with the process, but the Scarbor- ough board went the other way with its vote. According to a release from Scarborough Hospital, its vote to abort the merger came down to finances. “Up-front investments are needed to ensure the merged hospital is set up for long-term success,” said the board in a press release. “TSH and RVHS by themselves do not have the financial capacity to make the necessary investments to implement the merger successfully.” The release says the plan to merge will be “abandoned effective immediately” but could be revisited should more money be avail- able through the government to help with the hefty price tag involved with the startup costs. The merger carries a $32.4-million price tag. RVHS board chairwoman Joan Wideman confirmed that a request was put forth asking for a larger financial commitment, but those overtures were rebuffed. She said the gov- ernment wanted to see additional planning before agreeing to fork over more money. Scarborough felt differently -- at least for the time being. “Both hospitals remain commit- ted to the merger,” said Scarborough Hospi- tal president and CEO Robert Biron. “We feel that we’re just not in a position to proceed given the weak finances.” Though the startup costs have proved to be too much at this time for the two hospitals to absorb, RVHS CEO and president Rik Gan- derton said that government investments in the project could have been recouped in short order had the merger moved ahead. “There’s $13 (million) to $15 million in annual savings available to this combined organization as a minimum going forward,” he said, noting that means the $30-million pricetag to start would be wiped out inside three years. When Rouge Valley voted, while disap- pointed that more financial assistance from the government wasn’t forthcoming imme- diately, Mr. Ganderton felt the $3 million offered was a good first step in the process. The breakdown of the $32.4-million cost involved with getting the merger off the ground would have seen $12 million ear- marked for information systems changes and another $10 million for transformation- al management, while $5 million was set for workforce restructuring, including severance packages and buyouts, and another $5.4 mil- lion for workforce harmonization. -- with files from Torstar news service Hospital merger talks stalled HOSPITAL from page 1 Families of ‘Lost Boys’ still hopeful for closure FAMILIES from page 1 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 • Ma r c h 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 17 AP We’re OPENThursday to Saturday 10am–5pm 7692 Ashburn Rd.

UOIT grads finding meaningful employment: provost Recent study says Ontario university grads most successful student group in last 10 years Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- University graduates are the most successful of any other graduating group of students when it comes to employ- ment growth and earnings, according to a recent study. The Council of Ontario Universities finds university graduates have experienced the highest employment growth of any group of Ontario students over the last 10 years. “This was released with great happiness," said University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology provost Deborah Saucier. The study also found university grads are more likely to be working at a job related to their studies, and they’re earning signifi- cantly more. “It’s a real vindication and validation of what we do at universities across Canada and how we serve not only the needs of our students, but also employers of Ontario," said Ms. Saucier. She said recent statistics suggest, on aver- age, the number of UOIT graduates who are employed is 10 per cent higher than the Ontario average six months after graduat- ing. Two years after graduating, 89 per cent are in their field of study, compared to the provincial average of 82 per cent. Robert Sudak received his communica- tion degree from UOIT in 2012 and cur- rently works as the customer service coor- dinator for York Region Transit/Viva. Before attending UOIT, he was working at York Region and earned his journalism diploma from Durham College. When he felt he "hit a wall" at York and wasn't able to move up, he enrolled at UOIT to better his skills. His current job entails a number of duties, such as answering questions and comments from customers, keeping councillors in the loop, and providing coaching and training. "I’m like a Swiss Army Knife for transit,” he said. Ms. Saucier feels employers value a uni- versity education because students get the skills they need today, but also learn to be critical thinkers and adaptable, some- thing many will need as the average person changes jobs three to seven times in their working career. “Some of those jobs we know haven’t even been imagined yet,” she said. Mr. Sudak said while his job doesn’t require a degree, he feels the university bet- tered his skills and matured him. "I never would have had those skill sets if I never took the program at UOIT,” he said. But he said while getting a degree is ben- eficial, and helped him move up at York Region, simply expecting a dream job to fall into place isn't a reality. "You may have to start low," said Mr. Sudak. He looked for jobs before graduating. He began at York in a student position when he was at Durham College. Getting involved in activities outside of the classroom at UOIT helped him get more opportunities at school, and he recommends other univer- sity students do the same. "At UOIT they offer so much opportunity for you to do more than just study," he said. "I would not have the friends and made the connections I did if I just studied and went home."

Specifically, it resonated deeply with starved fans of the Oshawa Generals, most of whom had vague to no memories of the team’s third and previous Memorial Cup victory, way back in wartime, 1944. Mr. Armstrong’s fluttering point shot managed to find its way through a crowd, off a Kitchener Rangers defenceman and past goalie Mike Torchia to produce a 4-3 win, delirious- ly ending a 46-year drought and delivering the Generals their fourth national junior hockey championship. They had found the right mix of energy, passion, skill and, yes, luck, to not just win that game in overtime, but two oth- ers at the Memorial Cup tournament as well, including an earlier double-overtime triumph over the Rangers, the same team they had beaten in seven games of the Ontario Hockey League final. In winning the league championship, the Generals rallied from a 3-1 series deficit, a point of pride more than anything since both teams were headed to Hamilton regardless of the outcome. The Generals were indeed running down a dream, draw- ing energy from Tom Petty’s hit that had become their theme song and played after goals were scored at home. Mr. Armstrong was as unlikely a hero to deliver that dream as there was on the team, a bruising six-foot-five defensive defenceman who had scored just two goals all season lead- ing up to his shining moment, and four over his entire junior career. But, in many ways, it was a fitting end to a physically and emotionally draining season for the Generals, one that saw the national spotlight fall on Oshawa when the controver- sial and supremely talented Eric Lindros was traded to the team after refusing to report to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. As much as the 16-year-old Eric Lindros may have been a lightning rod for media attention and the one primarily responsible for the team playing in front of packed houses everywhere they went after he arrived, the 1989-90 Oshawa Generals were about much more than just him. Had that not been the case, it simply wouldn’t have worked. The fact that it did work out so spectacularly for the Generals was a tribute to everyone within the organization, from then-owner John Humphreys right on down to the assistant trainers, and all parts in between, including, of course the play- ers -- all the players. As much as the Lindros trade and Armstrong goal will go down as the most memorable moments of the season, this, like with most winning teams, was a championship earned through the blood, sweat and tears of every- one involved.

But we all have one common answer, “I am alive.” For some, this statement is more secure than for others. Christina Caverly of Oshawa knows all too well the meaning of living life to the fullest. After being diagnosed with acute lympho- blastic leukemia in June 2005, Ms. Caverly’s outlook on life is as lively, positive and cheer- ful as she is. Nine days after her 18th birthday, Ms. Cav- erly decided to visit her family doctor regard- ing her recent fatigue and sickness. She thought her anti-depressants were no longer doing the trick, but little did she know that her life was about to change. After bloodwork was taken, she went home and immediately received a terrifying phone call. Her blood tested positive for cancer. Her doctor immediately booked an oncology appointment for confirmation. It was true, and that same day Ms. Caverly was officially diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leuke- mia. The next week, Ms. Caverly started her first of 33 chemotherapy treatments, far from the usual six to nine sessions most patients are prescribed. After being an in-patient for over a month, she just wanted to go home and be healthy again. “I just wanted to be in bed with my Mom,” she says. “Though the hospital was both a horrible place and a safe place, noth- ing compares to home at a time like that.” Thankfully, her recovery was successful and she was in remission by the end of July. Her chemotherapy lasted a grueling two years but, finally, in September 2007 her treatment was complete. Unfortunately, her battle didn’t stop there. Because of the massive amount of chemo- therapy, radiation and prescribed steroids, Ms. Caverly was weak and unable to keep active. This eventually caused her joints to become weak, which led to avascular necro- sis, a fast moving form of osteoporosis. Before her last treatment of chemotherapy in 2007, everything came to a halt when the pain in her joints was so overbearing that a hip replacement was needed immediately. Then, in 2009, she had both knees replaced, followed by one shoulder replacement in 2013. She is expecting the second shoulder in May 2014. Years passed as Ms. Caverly’s life blurred away from the terrible times she faced when cancer took over her life. Life, however, seemed to never come back into focus. She struggled with breaking away from being ‘the cancer patient’ and becoming Christina again. In 2011, she journeyed to the Young Adult Cancer Canada retreat centre in New- foundland. There she realized she was not alone. She met 13 other young adults affect- ed from cancer and facing different stages of coping and overcoming their illnesses. They bonded over their health, their wellness and their urge to find life again. It was then that Ms. Caverly had a true epiphany and grasped at the possibility of a normal lifestyle. She went home, began her second chance at life, and has never looked back. Ms. Caverly now volunteers at the Canadian Cancer Society and makes a differ- ence to those who are in the same situation she was in only a few years ago. Volunteers are needed April 4, 5, and 6 dur- ing the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days to sell pins at retail locations. Sign up at www.myccsschedule.ca. DURHAM -- Christina Caverly of Oshawa was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukimia just after her 18th birthday in June 2005. Today, she is a cancer survivor and a volunteer for the Canadian Cencer Society in its Whitby office.

A. Bishop no ‘stranger’ to comic books Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- D.A. Bishop was hooked when he first picked up a comic book as a kid. “There was a lot of action, adventure hap- pening and I fell in love with it right away,” says the Pickering resident. He started drawing comics, mimicking what he’d seen and read and showing his work to friends, and by the time he reached the end of high school, a career in comics was what he wanted. As often happens, those plans were derailed. Bishop ended up taking an art fun- damentals class at Sheridan College and got hooked on painting. He got married, start- ed a family and needed a regular income. But, realizing “the technology was there,” he returned to making comics. And if you think they are just for kids, you’re not up to speed on comics in the 21st century. Bishop says there’s a lot of variety, with comics geared toward little kids, teens and more mature stuff for adults. And if you don’t know where to start, he says you can just do an online search or even walk into a comic store and say what you’re looking for. Bishop as a youngster received some polite “thanks but no thanks” letters from major publishers when he sent in his work. But in our technological world, comic book makers don’t need to send their work off to a company to get it out there. “It’s so easy to set yourself up a cheap web- site and start posting things online,” Bishop says. So that’s what he did. Bishop has created seven books on his own, including the zom- bie book Stranger, which has five issues so far, his fantasy story Of Stone, as well as the mini-comic Squirrels. A graphic artist by day, Bishop does all the drawing and text himself, confessing he doesn’t know where the ideas for his stories come from. With regard to Stranger, Bishop says he didn’t want to do the standard, group of people holed up in a house fighting off zom- bies story, with at least one person standing out for his or her courage. “I was thinking, ‘it would be really neat to see what things look like when you’re not a hero, you’re just a regular guy’,” he says. So Bishop created an everyman type char- acter who ties the stories together, even though each can stand alone as well. He says Of Stone is “my baby.” The book started off with Bishop just doodling, draw- ing characters. Then he imagined what they would be like. He came up with creatures made of rock, including Gan, leader of his tribe, the People of Stone. Bishop, 44, who was born in Montreal, has two youngsters at home and finds the time to work when the kids have been put to bed or on weekends. He tries to make a page a week. But he’s largely set aside his own work for a year to work on Deep Sea, a graphic novel with Brampton’s Ricky Lima. It’s an 80 pager and Bishop is doing the art for Lima’s script. He’s 60 pages in and they plan to release it via the crowd-funding site, Kickstarter. “He’s been waiting patiently as I do a page a week,” Bishop says. He says “Durham has a vibrant commu- nity of comic shops that support local indie artists,” including Worlds Collide in Oshawa and Pickering’s Heroic Dreams. You can buy his work at the latter. Online, you can see Stranger in its entirety for free at stranger.renard.com. You’ll have to pay to see Of Stone, through the digital comics platform Comixology, which Bishop says is “the definitive digital comics platform.” PICKERING -- Pickering resident David Bishop is a self-published indie comics creator. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Skateboard art fundraiser DURHAM -- The artwork on these boards is so good you’ll want to hang them, not ride them. Either way, an Oshawa-based tattoo products supplier wants you to bid on them. Titan Tattoo Supply is hosting a silent auction from March 24 to 29 and had 25 tattoo artists from around Ontario, including many from Durham, transform blank skateboard decks into art. The ben- eficiary of all pro- ceeds is Joanne’s House, an emer- gency youth drop- in shelter in Ajax. “A friend of mine told me about Joanne’s House last sum- mer, how they have no government funding and that the work they do there for kids is phenomenal,” says Brian Vince, president of Titan Tattoo Supply. “The fact that there are kids out there that have to worry about where they are going to stay and how they are going to get the next meal instead of just worrying about going to school and having fun is a heartbreaker. Being a father of two girls that I would walk to the end of the earth for really puts things into per- spective.” Vince notes the idea came from Alan Riches, one of the founders of Titan Tattoo Supply, who died just before Christmas. Each deck has a starting bid of $200. See and bid on the art at The Vault, 19 Simcoe St. N., March 24 to 29 from noon to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. Check out the Facebook page www. facebook.com/pages/Titan-Tattoo-Sup- ply/202189366597919. And visit www.bidonaboard.org, where you can bid online. The event ends with a March 29 after- party at Wasted Space with WalkNorth, Perfect Gentlemen and N.S.P. performing. Wasted Space is donating a portion of bar sales that night to help with the fundraiser. Vince says after the auction a book of all the art will be sold to raise more money.

This is when it counts.” The other Eastern Conference series will pit the North Bay Battalion (38-24- 4-2) against the Niagara IceDogs (24-35- 3-6), the Kingston Frontenacs (39-23-3-3) against the Peterborough Petes (32-30- 0-6), and the Barrie Colts (37-28-1-2) against the Sudbury Wolves (33-24-3-8).

Bricknell reaches out to youth Facebook page helps young players deal with demons, depression Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- Corey Bricknell can relate to what Terry Trafford was going through, the young hockey player from Toronto who com- mitted suicide in his truck in the parking lot of a Walmart after being released by the Sag- inaw Spirit of the OHL. The difference is that Bricknell is still around to talk about his demons and battles with depression. Along with a former team- mate, Corey Isen, the two launched a Face- book page and Twitter account, hoping to reach out to young hockey players dealing with depression or facing other problems, letting them know that they aren’t alone. Bricknell, a Port Perry resident who has coached junior and minor hockey in the area for years, and Isen, who works the oil fields in western Canada, had been in collaboration for some time, wondering how to get infor- mation out and let young players know there are ways to get through difficult times. When news broke of Trafford’s story, dis- cussions ended and they took action. With the help of local web designer Lorraine McNulty, they started a Facebook page, Fighting The Truth. “We wondered how many more deaths are we going to watch without us trying to do something,” says Bricknell. “Not that we can save the world, but if we can help one per- son, that’s one person less who has to deal with this.” The message they are trying to get across is a simple one. “We want to get it out there that you are not alone,” says Bricknell. “There’s other people out there dealing with this as well. It’s not like you are the only one. There are ways to deal with it. Committing suicide is the last option.” It’s a message that Bricknell, now 38, would have liked to have heard when he was a teen- ager. He recalls a couple of vivid memories of times he reached the breaking point, unable to cope with the things going on around him. His solution was to end it. “I was in Whitby on Cochrane Street, there’s a bridge there. The train was coming and I was getting ready to jump,” he recalls. “My cousin and a friend, they were there and they talked me down. They said it wasn’t worth it.” A stay of more than a week at the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, now the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, followed. But it wasn’t the end. “Another time after a ball hockey game after that I got into a fight. As soon as the fight was done I ran right off the floor, out the arena in Port Perry and ran in front of a car. The car threw me. I got up like nothing happened. “When I was 17, 18, those were my low times when I was going to take my life.” Bricknell played junior hockey with the Oshawa Legionaires, three seasons in the OHL and a number of years in various minor pro leagues. Carving out a reputation as a tough defenceman, it was the battles off the ice that were his toughest foes. “Since I was 17 I’ve been dealing with alco- hol,” he revealed. “As I got older I got into drugs. I finished rehab last year. I went to a 30-day program and I’ve been sober coming up to 15 months. “For myself to get away from hockey, I was using alcohol and drugs to get away. It just escalated more with me not playing hockey or coaching. You’re known as a player, or the coach, and since I wasn’t doing any of that stuff I was finding ways to get away from it. To deal with my depression. “Now everything is on the up and up. Every- thing is good.” Since starting the Fighting The Truth Face- book page and a subsequent Twitter account, Bricknell has heard from a number of former players, many of them tough guys, who post- ed their personal stories. The feedback has been positive and overwhelming so far. Bricknell thinks back to those years going through the junior hockey grind, and won- ders how things could have been different if there wasn’t such a social stigma attached to mental illness. “Only if we knew then what we know now, how we could have worked with each other at that time,” he says. “Everybody just want- ed to shut the door and hide it and that’s not what needs to be done. The door needs to be opened and shared. While directed toward young hockey play- ers, the message Bricknell is trying to get out there can be related to anyone trying to nego- tiate their way through a difficult time. “Just let them know there are people out there who love them,” he says. “They are wor- thy. No matter what is going on, if they get traded or released, suspended, it’s not the end of the day or the end of their life. It’s a new chapter and you learn from it. “Taking your life, or running away from the game or shutting friends and family out isn’t the way to go.” The Facebook page is www.facebook.com/ FightingTheTruth, while the Twitter account is @fightnthetruth. PORT PERRY -- Corey Bricknell has started a Facebook page to help young hockey players cope with issues they are facing. He struggled with alcohol and depression and wants players to know they aren’t alone and help is available.
