Firefighters from the station recently completed training courses for emergency services responding to hazardous spills and disasters, to be better prepared for possible rail disasters like the tragedy last year in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. Kaitlin Abeele / Metroland Pickering firefighters proactive in the wake of rail disaster New ‘prehab’ program helps Pickering patients Learning post- surgery exercises leads to better recovery from shoulder surgery AJAX -- A new “prehab” program is helping local patients do better after shoulder surgery. The one-hour education ses- sion is for those preparing for shoulder surgery at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal. Launched in March, the class teaches patients how to properly apply a shoulder sling and how to do exercises after surgery. Pickering resident David Leit- head, 64, recently had surgery to relieve intense pain in his right shoulder that had plagued him for 18 months. “I tried to play baseball, but I couldn’t throw overhand because the pain was so bad,” he says. He describes the prehab class as “very helpful” and is now doing the exercises he learned every day for 20 minutes. “Due to the nature of shoulder surgeries, many patients have to be extremely cautious after their procedure,” says surgical manag- er Amber Curry. Local firefighters completing extra hazardous goods training Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering firefight- ers are refreshing their training in the wake of last summer’s rail disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. On July 6, 2013, a 73-car freight train carrying crude oil derailed in the small Quebec town, result- ing in a massive explosion. Forty- seven people died in the tragedy and more than 30 buildings were destroyed. Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg says the department wanted to be proactive and launched an imme- diate review after the Quebec disaster.

Dr. Julie Thorpe, assistant professor of IT security at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology, said while high-impact vulnerabilities such as the latest online bug, Heartbleed, are somewhat rare, it highlights the need for education regarding online security. Dr. Thorpe, Dr. Christopher Collins, and graduate student Rafael Veras Guimaraes are sharing their study on the secret lan- guage of passwords, and how the meaning of passwords relates to security risks. Prior research studied simple letter and number sequences such as ‘password123,’ but UOIT’s work delves into more com- plex passwords, such as a specific date like ‘may101982,’ said Dr. Collins, UOIT’s Cana- da Research Chair in Linguistic Information Visualization. “Patterns involving the word ‘love,’ spe- cific names and day/month/year, where let- ters are followed by numbers, are very com- mon,” he said. Dr. Thorpe said the research began when large password leaks were made pub- lic online, such as the 32 million pass- words from the RockYou website that were exposed in 2009. “That was a really unique opportunity because it allowed us to learn from the data what the common pat- terns are,” she said. It helped them understand the seman- tic patterns underlying user choice in pass- words, which told them how people choose the passwords they do. In terms of date patterns, a quarter of the RockYou passwords contain a numer- ic sequence of at least four digits, said Dr. Thorpe. The team discovered six per cent of these passwords - almost 2 million accounts - contain numbers that match a date. By creating a complex interface, they found a preference for dates with repeated days and months, such as 08/08/1989. “We also uncovered hidden patterns, such as a consistent preference for the first two days of months, holidays, and a few noto- rious dates such as the date of the Titanic sinking (April 12, 1912),” Dr. Collins said. The researchers found ‘love’ is the most common verb in pass- words. “Honey is the most-used food-related word, and monkey is the most popular animal,” said Dr. Thorpe. “And contrary to reported psychology research, many cate- gories related to sexuality and profanity are among the top 100.” They found a male name is four times more likely to follow the string ‘ilove’ than a female name. The researchers also created a successful password guessing system, which isn’t avail- able to the public. The vulnerabilities they found have motivated Dr. Collins and Dr. Thorpe to further their work on the subject. “We are currently starting a brand new project to try to help people to create a stron- ger password,” said Dr. Thorpe. Page 6 - Today’s editorial Dr. Thorpe said it’s important that people don’t use the same password for all of their accounts, and if a person writes down a password, they should keep it out of sight. She suggests people consider using a password manager, which can help generate random, strong passwords. These programs are normally locked by a single master password, which means users only need to remember one strong password. Other suggestions include making sure passwords: • are at least eight characters in length (longer is much better). • contain both upper case and lower case characters. • contain numbers and special characters, and not just at the end of the password. • contain unusual words and/or unusual sequences of words. • do not contain common themes, such as love (especially in the context of ‘I love X’), sexual terms, profanity, royalty, animals, food, money, names, dates or places.

About $750 of the $1,000 per tree cost relates to removing damaged trees and dig- ging out the stump. The City had initially planned to replace the 1,800 trees this year. Without help from the Province, that work will now be spread out over the next four or five years and will only include the street trees. The cost is expected to be about $375,000 per year, which works out to a 0.75 per cent tax levy increase. City staff also plan to look at "alterna- tive financing strategies" including an "Adopt a Tree" program that would give members of the public a charitable tax receipt for donating to the City's tree replacement program. The report says there is a "very slight" chance the Province may announce tree canopy funding in its upcoming budget. Pickering’s ice storm costs currently sit at $2.3 million, which includes $115,540 for emergency response and $414,264 for cleanup in addition to the $1.8 mil- lion for trees. City staff expect the combined $529,844 costs for emergency response and cleanup will be covered under the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Pro- gram. The new report also outlines Picker- ing’s communication efforts during the ice storm. It says the City used its customer care centre phone lines, website and social media to communicate with residents, noting 16,000 people were reached through 110 Facebook updates. At the April 14 meeting of council’s executive committee, councillors sug- gested some low-tech tools would also be helpful. Councillor Jennifer O’Connell noted printed items such as flyers with key phone numbers could be distributed to community hubs and coffee shops. She said the average person may not know the number of City Hall or Veridi- an and wouldn’t be able to look them up if power and Internet were down. Saying communication was a “weak point” during the recent ice storm, Councillor Peter Rodrigues suggested a truck outfitted with speakers could be driven through the streets broadcasting important messages such as “don’t use propane indoors.” Tony Prevedel Police Cops track car, make arrest in Pickering prowler case PICKERING -- Police investigating a report of a peeping tom in Pickering have arrested a suspect with the help of a vehicle description. A Pickering woman called Durham police after she saw a man peer- ing through her front window in the early morning hours of April 7. Nearby she noticed a new orange Mitsubishi that she’d seen driving by on four previous occasions, police said. Cops found the vehicle Sunday and arrested a suspect. Lewis Champ, 57, of Anton Square in Pickering, was charged with criminal harassment and prowling by night. He was held for a bail hearing. An investigation continues.

The article states how waiting lists for affordable housing is increasing. I know first-hand how this is worrisome for fami- lies as well as for singles. Years ago, I had a girlfriend who had a four-year-old son. In three weeks she found social housing and I could not imagine her concern at the time. First and foremost, families need hous- ing for obvious reasons. There are, howev- er, others who are in need for public hous- ing. I know many people who would not be able to afford their own place. They would have to resort to group homes or rent a room lucky enough to share a kitchen, liv- ing room and bathroom. When a subsi- dized home does come, after years on a waiting list, it is a godsend. It is not just a home but dignity they receive. Brad Hogg Focus on cyber safety after Heartbleed UOIT researchers hope to provide pathway to stronger passwords Heartbleed. It’s the name given to a com- puter virus that’s enabled hackers to exploit online security vulnerabilities. The Heartbleed bug necessitated the shutdown of the Canada Revenue Agency’s tax filing system earlier this month. It was also sub- sequently discovered that 900 Social Insur- ance Numbers had been stolen from the agency’s website prior to the shutdown. While we in Durham Region may do a collective shoulder shrug and hope the CRA cobbles together a more foolproof method to keep our private online infor- mation more secure, we must all do our part to ensure our own online privacy. We live in a highly connected digital world, where banking and business trans- actions are routinely done online. All that private information is out there on the cyber highway. Online security shouldn’t be given short shrift. Our durhamregion.com readers’ poll, however, seems to indicate we have a col- lective ho-hum attitude toward online security. At the time of writing, 35 per cent of our respondents believe there’s nothing to worry about. Another 51 per cent believe it’s too late to do anything about the Heart- bleed bug and its ramifications on online security. Only 14 per cent think it’s a good idea to change their various passwords. A group of University of Ontario Institute of Technology researchers has delved into the secret language of passwords and how they relate to security risks. The universi- ty team found some common denomina- tors in terms of password usage, including a preference for dates with repeated days and months, such as 08/08/1989. In light of the high-level security breach- es of late, what can be done to keep our online information safe? The UOIT researchers offered the following advice: • Don’t use the same password for all your accounts. You may want to consider using a password manager, which can generate random, strong passwords • Make sure passwords are at least eight characters in length with both upper- and lower-case characters; • Passwords should contain numbers and special characters; • They should contain unusual words or unusual sequences of words; The upshot of this research at UOIT is that it’s morphing into a new project designed to help create stronger passwords to better secure online information. Anything that can be done to promote cyber safety, while keeping the hackers at bay is a worthwhile endeavour in the digital age of today. A life cut too short The morning of Thursday, April 10 doesn’t stand out as being any different from any other Thursday, but the afternoon sure does. It was shortly before 1 p.m. when online editor Bruce Froude spotted a tweet about paramedics being at the Ottawa home of Whitby-Oshawa MP and former finance min- ister Jim Flaherty. We started making phone calls but min- utes later the tweets took a serious turn as some media outlets began to report Mr. Fla- herty had died. It was soon clear the former finance minister, who had resigned March 18, had died. The newsroom was in shock. How? Why? His family? How? Why? I have described what happened during the next few hours in the newsroom as similar to the opening credits of the TV show MASH. As the helicopter lands, the entire base goes into action. It’s what they were trained to do. Our training kicked in too. This would be one of the biggest stories we would cover. By 6 p.m. we had talked to dozens of people and produced even more stories. I hadn’t been impressed with Mr. Flaherty shortly after his resignation. We tried numer- ous times to get a comment but he never called us back. His wife, MPP Christine Elliott, phoned us almost immediately after we called her to give us her thoughts on her husband’s retirement. But as Thursday came to an end my thoughts turned to his family and a life cut too short. As I get older I get angrier at sto- ries about people who retire but never get a chance to have the life they have worked so hard to enjoy. Mr. Flaherty had the world ahead of him. He could have written a sal- ary on a piece of paper and numerous firms would have fought to pay it. He could have decided to live the rest of his life in vacation mode, spending time with his wife, kids and eventually grandchildren. Our family at the paper wishes his family our deepest condolences. Life can be cruel and unfair. Mr. Flaherty died too young. Managing editor Mike Johnston is thinking more and more about his retirement years. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Following up Spring: We turn our faces to the sun I’m always in awe of how incredibly quickly everything greens up in the next few weeks. I’m also eternally grateful for the transformation. Once the snow and ice recede, especially in the wake of such a glacial winter, we are, inevitably, left gaping at a sorry landscape. It’s a sea of decaying detritus that makes the Somme look like a rainforest. There sim- ply is no green, only shades of brown. It’s as though we are suddenly living inside an old sepia photograph, the ones where no one is ever smiling. And in those first few days, when the sun has begun to shine but has not yet roused the sleeping earth back to life, I always wonder how it can all ever come back. How can the trees, frozen and viciously mauled by ice, find the strength to push sap through to their quivering, fragile extremities? How do the slender tulips and crocuses manage to inch their sun-thirsty shoots up through the clods of frozen earth above them? And how does my grass come back? This year in particular, after so much scraping and shovelling, I have left half of my gravel driveway on the front lawn. As well, courtesy of my season-long battle with the ice, there is, mixed in there, more salt than the Romans dumped on Carthage. How could anything, particularly some- thing as tiny and frail as a shoot of grass, survive that? And yet, it does. Miraculously, awesome- ly, thrillingly, it does. And seemingly over- night. Every year, without fail, I am left slack- jawed by the power and intensity of the life force of this planet. One day you are driving through a taupe world of dust and desicca- tion and the next, you wake up to the won- derful, pulse-raising sound of lawn mowers, weed whackers and rototillers. It seems to happen that quickly. Suddenly the world is literally bursting with fresh life. On a warm day, if you sit still enough, you can almost hear the buds budding, the flowers flower- ing and the shoots ... shooting. The trees, hedges and shrubs teem with birds, squirrels and bunnies, all of which, spurred crazily on by Mother Nature’s own verdancy, are now doing their passionate best to propagate their various species. And, of course, we humans are far from immune. Fortunately for the planet though, most of our frenzied spring activity centres around sweeping, raking, tilling, weeding, barbecuing and drinking, leaving the vast majority of us too worn out to propagate in any other way. Nonetheless, we are more alive and happy than we have been in many dark months. And, like the flowers in our gardens, we turn our faces to the sun and to each other. There is an incandescence to people, a burning creativity, an urge to go outside and do stuff. It’s at this time of year that I am convinced, more than ever, that far from simply being stewards of, or visitors to, or walkers on this planet, we are, in fact very much part of and connected to this earth. We share its car- bon atoms, we breathe its exhalations, our hearts beat to the rhythm of its seasons. Far from just a place where we live, it is actually where we come from. Spring is not just around us, it’s inside us. Hope that makes you blossom just a little bit more. -- 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 • Ap r i l 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP10All-tme best-selling music albums Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Poll What steps have you taken to protect your online identity following news of the Heartbleed bug?

In February, 2001, back when I was working for the Ontario Medical Asso- ciation, I had a tough decision to make. Premier Mike Harris was about to shuffle his cabinet, and rumour had it that Jim Fla- herty, MPP for the riding of Whitby-Ajax -- was in the running for the health portfolio. The dilemma: Should I just purchase two tickets to Jim’s fundraiser? Or should I pur- chase 10, just in case Harris did go ahead and make him minister of health? I called the Whitby-Ajax riding associa- tion and told them we’d be taking two tick- ets for sure, but that if Jim suddenly became important to us by being named health minister, we’d take another eight. As fate would have it, Harris made Jim minister of finance and deputy premier. Needless to say, we went ahead and pur- chased 10 tickets to his fundraiser. While waiting in line for a drink at the event, a familiar voice whispered: “I’m glad to see you still think I’m important.” I turned around and there was that famil- iar smile. Jim told me he happened to be standing there when I’d called the riding association and had overheard the conver- sation. We both had a good laugh over it. Another true story. A few years earlier fol- lowing a full day of lobbying and schmooz- ing, I was visiting the evening hospitality suites at a PC convention. I was ready for bed, but knew I couldn’t call it a day until I’d flown the flag in every suite. I entered the suite and heard familiar voices singing a very familiar song. There, in the middle of the room, was Jim Flaherty -- along with a couple of other MPPs -- singing ‘When Irish Eyes Are Smiling’. Not quite the three tenors, but pretty good nonetheless. On Wednesday, April 9 I was at Queen’s Park once again, visiting Jim Flaherty’s wife, Christine Elliott. Christine had replaced Jim as the MPP for Whitby-Ajax in 2006. We had a wonderful visit and I asked how Jim was doing, and whether or not he’d decid- ed what he was going to do next. She told me he was doing great, and that he hadn’t made up his mind yet which offer to take. As I turned to go, I said to Christine: “Have Jim give me a call. I’m working on a couple of projects he might be interested in.” The next day -- Thursday, April 10 -- I emailed a couple of clients, letting them know I’d met with Christine Elliott, and that I’d hopefully be getting a phone call from Jim Flaherty in the next few days. That phone call, sadly, won’t be coming. -- Stephen Skyvington is President of PoliTrain Inc. He can be heard every Saturday at 1 p.m. on CFRB Newstalk Radio 1010. Follow him on Twitter @SSkyvington. Memories Stephen Skyvington Guest column Youth Crime More than three-quarters of Canadians care about the impact of youth justice in Canada and more than half believe that crimes committed by youths – those 12 to 17 years of age -- are on the rise. These were the findings of a national survey by Nielsen on behalf of Fernie Youth. The survey found: • 77 per cent of Canadians cared about the impact of youth justice in Canada. • 89 per cent of B.C. residents were the most concerned, followed closely by Alber- tans with 88 per cent and Ontarians at 83 per cent. The gap between residents of Quebec and the rest of Canada was quite notice- able with just 58 per cent of Quebecers stat- ing they were concerned with the impact of youth justice. • 44 per cent of Quebecers believed that most youth criminal activity is racially motivated or conducted by ethnic minor- ities, which is considerably higher than the rate of Canadians as a whole, at 29 per cent. • 55 per cent of Canadians believe that crime conducted by youth in Canada is on the rise. • 60 per cent of women believed that youth crime was on the rise. • 49 per cent of men believed that youth crime was on the rise. • 45 per cent of Canadians agree that once a youth has committed a crime, he or she is on a path that leads to more serious crime.

These substances can create emergency sce- narios if they are spilled, such as gaseous sub- stances dispersing into the air, fires, explosions and liquids seeping into the water table. Pickering firefighters have now completed training with CN Rail to learn more about rail cars, the types of goods they carry and how to work with the rail company if there is an emergen- cy. Most of Pickering’s fire suppression staff have also finished hazardous mate- rials training focused on performing res- cues and securing a scene using tools such as foam that is poured over spills. The training is ongoing. Despite the frightening images of the Lac-Mégantic disaster, Pickering fire offi- cials stress local residents shouldn’t live in fear of rail disasters. “The public should have a sense of assurance that rail transport is quite safe,” says Pickering Fire Deputy Chief Jason Yoshida. “Rail cars are built to be rugged, there is lots of protection built in.” Last November, Transport Canada directed Canadian rail lines to release historic data on dangerous goods to municipalities four times per year. Chief Hagg says he expects to start receiving the information this month.

Ontario Power Generation wants to operate the Pickering nuclear generat- ing station until 2020, which is beyond its design life of 210,000 hours. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Com- mission will be holding a hearing on the request May 7. “Basically OPG is saying just trust us, but that’s not good enough when you’re push- ing an aging nuclear plant beyond what it was designed for,” says Janet McNeill, spokeswoman for Durham Nuclear Awareness. OPG spokesman Neal Kelly says the company is confident it is safe to operate the Pickering facility until 2020. “We have done extensive studies, we have done the research and development, this included people from the industry and utility experts,” he says. “The results show the Pickering pressure tube condi- tion is better than was estimated 30 years ago.” DNA members point to a 2013 statement made by Thierry Vandal, CEO of Hydro- Quebec, about extending the life of a reac- tor at the Gentilly nuclear generating sta- tion. “I would no more operate Gentilly-2 beyond 210,000 hours than I would climb onto an airplane that does not have its permits and that does not meet the stan- dards,” he said. Last year DNA hired Arnie Gundersen, a former nuclear industry executive turned whistleblower, to analyze OPG’s safety case for Pickering. He concluded there was insufficient information to approve the plant’s life extension. Ms. McNeill spoke to Pickering council’s executive committee April 14, urging poli- ticians to file a written submission for the upcoming hearing and call for more trans- parency if the life extension is approved, such as asking for annual public meetings to report on the safety of the plant. “The people of Pickering should be involved in this ... it shouldn’t be some- thing that’s laid on them by the nuclear industry,” she said. Mr. Neal says OPG is “always talking to the public,” citing frequent meetings with elected officials and stakeholders. He also noted the public will be con- sulted on plans to end operations at the Pickering station, including future poten- tial uses for the site. Documents supporting OPG’s request to the CNSC are available at www.opg.com. The May 7 public hearing takes place in Ottawa and will be webcast live at www. nuclearsafety.gc.ca. The webcast will remain on the website for 90 days.

Here we explore the challenges prosecutors face in human trafficking cases and what services are available for victims. DURHAM -- Crown attorneys pursuing human trafficking cases deal with chal- lenges, including reluctant witnesses and relatively untested laws, says one prosecu- tor. Prosecutors and police must gain the trust of traumatized victims, then rely on courts to hand down appropriate sentenc- es for crimes of human exploitation, said JulieAnn Bar- rett, an assis- tant Crown attorney in Durham Region. “They are challeng- ing prosecu- tions,” she said. “They’re complicated. There’s usually been a lot of police resources and investigative time put into them for good reason. We’re dealing with vulnerable young women, so that’s a challenge in and of itself sometimes.” There have been relatively few human trafficking charges prosecuted in Durham Region, but that’s likely to change as police aggressively pursue pimps who exploit vic- tims, typically young women in their teens and early 20s. Durham cops say human trafficking is a burgeoning issue here, and that the problem is getting worse. “Victims are so reluctant to provide a statement to us,” said Durham police Con- stable Phil Groeneveld, who has been involved in a number of human trafficking investigations. He said cops investigating the offence are looking not for evidence of prostitution; the essential element of human trafficking is exploitation for monetary gain. Victims encountered by Durham cops are often young -- one girl found work- ing here was 14 -- and have usually been coerced through threats, violence or depri- vation. They’re often terrified to talk to police at all, let alone consider testifying in court, said Sergeant Ron Kapuscinski. “An exploited person can feel they have no other choice, for fear of violence to themselves or somebody else,” he said. Ms. Barrett agreed. “Invariably we are dealing with very vul- nerable victims -- and I’m going to say young women, because it is overwhelm- ingly young women -- who are exploited. Oftentimes they are brought into this life very young,” she said. “Sometimes that’s a challenge for the police and for us because just laying the charge isn’t the end of the journey; (vic- tims) need a lot of support and a lot of resources. And there aren’t as many resources in the community as we would like for them.” Durham police are currently working with Walk With Me Canada, a Hamilton- based organization that provides services for human trafficking victims. In a meet- ing with Whitby council last month, Sgt. Kapuscinski said services in Durham tar- geting human trafficking are still in a tran- sition period. “We are continuing to provide support to victims ... with any investigation involving young female victims, it’s delicate. It’s very difficult over the course of time as the court procedures move on to ensure the victims’ safety and that their statement on this date is the same as their testimony six months from now,” he said. “We’re trying to come up with a long- term model within Durham Regional Police to ensure that there is some continu- ity for our victims and for our investigative teams. Right now, it’s project to project.” Local victim services are limited and that’s partly because “the women that are part of human trafficking rings are gener- ally kept away from the resources that can help them,” says Beth Whalen, co-ordi- nator of harm reduction services with the John Howard Society of Durham Region. The organization provides a variety of services for sex trade workers through a drop-in program, including a hot meal, access to showers, laundry, counselling, referrals, clothing and educational work- shops. Glenda Leahey, outreach counsellor at John Howard Society’s Oshawa location, said while she hasn’t dealt with sex slav- ery victims specifically, she has noticed increasingly younger girls coming in for support. “I believe there is a growing need (for ser- vices),” she said. “Unfortunately, what I’m seeing right now is a younger population on the street, which is alarming to me.” The girls are typically between the ages of 14 and 21, she added. If the offence involves a victim under 18, the mandatory minimum sentence for human trafficking is five years. That’s one of the sentencing guidelines the courts must follow upon conviction. Other related offences –- pimps are often charged with threatening or crimes of violence -- can be considered aggravating factors by judges and result in longer sentences. Ms. Barrett said Canada’s human traffick- ing laws are still relatively new, so sentenc- ing ranges are still being established. Typi- cally, appeals of lower court rulings help shape those ranges. “This is going to evolve over time. There have not been a whole lot of cases, and there has not been a lot of interpretation by the courts of what exactly will qualify as the offence of human trafficking in terms of facts and also in terms of what sentence should be involved. It’s going to take some time to work its way through the court pro- cess,” Ms. Barrett said. “Much like child pornography offences, we had lots of trial level prosecutions and decisions that made their way up to the Court of Appeal and then we started to get some very clear direction from the Court of Appeal about what these sentences should be and then of course Parliament enacted the mandatory minimums that we have now. And that’s somewhat the way it’s been with human trafficking, too.” Part one ran Wednesday, April 9 and looked at the role Durham police play. Part three, running Wednesday, April 30, features a former sex slave worker and her role working with Durham police. Durham sex slavery DURHAM -- There have been relatively few human trafficking charges prosecuted in Durham Region, but that’s likely to change as police aggressively pursue pimps who exploit victims, typically young women in their teens and early 20s.

Becoming more well-known in the area, we are now receiving requests to play for dances. Our band leader and music director, Fred Mildon is the one who whips us into shape. He has a personal history with the bands of the Big Band Era, having played trumpet with the Harry James and Lionel Hampton bands. If swing is your thing, dust off that instrument that is hiding in the basement and consider joining us. We rehearse at Ebenezer United Church in Courtice on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. No need to be afraid of coming out. We are willing to help if you are a bit rusty. Expand your horizons with the Swing Bands of Clarington New Horizons.

AJAX -- I had been searching for one of these guys all winter as I had heard there were sightings of snowy owls at Whitby Harbour and Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering.

Ross a real Saint now Notre Dame runner off to Limestone College in South Carolina Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- There came a point in time when Corey Ross realized what sport it was that he should pursue. Actually, maybe two points. On the ice, where he chased pucks in the Pickering Panthers system, he started to realize that his size was going to impede him going forward. On the track, it came at the finish line, realizing that he had just smashed his personal best in the 1500m by 25 seconds. So track it was. Wise choice as it turns out. In the fall, he will convert his talent for running into a spot on the Limestone College Saints team, where he will be on scholarship for both track and cross-country at the South Carolina school. “I realized I was getting pretty fast,” recalls Ross of the transition from hock- ey to track in Grade 10. “I’m a short guy. Hockey was getting a little too crazy with hitting. My mom was always scared I was going to get a concussion.” His breakthrough on the track came during the LOSSA championships a cou- ple of years ago. “I ran a huge personal best. I took over 20 seconds off my time,” he says, lower- ing a 4:41 in the 1500m to a 4:16. “It was a breakout race for me.” The Grade 12 student at Notre Dame will run cross-country in the fall and track in the spring at Limestone. His cross-country exploits in high school have been strong, having competed at OFSAA the past three years. It was a learning process, he says, and he gained experience each time. In Grade 11, he was the fourth-ranked runner in LOSSA heading to the provin- cial OFSAA championships, but his strat- egy didn’t yield the result he was looking for. “It was a sad day. I was really upset,” he says. “I tried to go out with the top guys and they were a little faster than me, but I was trying to go out with them and put down a really good time. After 5K, the last 2K I was totally done. Everyone start- ed catching up to me.” With that disappointing race still etched in his mind, he made amends as a senior. “I started off slow and stayed back and in the last 3K started hammering it and made my way through,” resulting in a top-50 finish. When it came time to decide on a uni- versity destination, Ross narrowed it to three schools. When Limestone upped the ante, he signed. He will visit the cam- pus for the first time in May. “They were one spot out of nationals last year. They have a really good ath- letic program,” he says of the attractions. “They have no seniors graduating and I’d like to go to a team that’s going to com- pete. It would be sweet next year if we go to nationals right away. It would be the perfect freshman year.” In addition to cross-country, Ross expects to represent the school on the track in the 1500m and 3000m, as well as the 2000m steeplechase when he enrolls in the fall. Like most teenagers on the verge of starting a new chapter, he can’t wait. “I’m really excited. I can’t wait. I think it’s going to be a great time. “The coaches down there are really good. They have a couple guys running sub 3:50 which is really fast in the 1500. Hopefully that will rub off on me a little and I can throw down some great times in university and go farther after that. You never know.” Farther, but not longer, noting a prefer- ence for the track over cross-country. “I prefer track. Cross-country is long and mentally painful.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 18 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Free eBook: Quest for the Cup Oshawa Generals 1990 Memorial Cup Team Download it @durhamregion.com/ebooks CUP The 1990 Oshawa Gene r a l s ’ road to the Memorial Cup FOR THEuestuestuestQQQ By Brian McNair PICKERING -- Corey Ross will be running track and cross country at Limestone College in South Carolina in the fall.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Jessica Klimkait athlete of year WHITBY -- Jessica Klimkait has joined some elite company by being named the Ontario Sport female athlete of the year for 2013. Klimkait, a Whitby resident and mem- ber of the Ajax Budokan Judo Club, was honoured with the provincial award last Thursday in Toronto, beating the likes for- mer Olympic champion gymnast Rosie MacLennan and honoured alongside the male winner, Patrick Chan, a two-time Olympic figure skater and three-time world champion. Klimkait won the gold medal in the cadet level at the 2013 World Judo Cham- pionship, becoming the first Canadian in any age category to become a judo world champion. In 2013, she also placed third at the European U21 Cup and the Thuringen German Cup, and managed a top-five fin- ish at the Pan American championship in Costa Rica. A Grade 12 student at Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School, Klim- kait reeled off five straight wins, without surrendering a single point, to win gold in the under-52-kilogram division at the world championships in Miami. “It’s a hard feeling to explain because I’ve been working for this for a long time and it’s something I’ve really wanted,” Klim- kait said shortly after winning the under-18 world title. “When I finally won it was really surreal and really hard to take in. Obvious- ly I was really, really happy.” Kevin Doherty, her coach with the Ajax club, believes that Klimkait will not only compete at the Olympics, and as early as 2016 in Brazil, but will one day contend for a gold medal. “She’s strong in both standing tech- niques and ground techniques,” he explained after she won the world cham- pionship. “The commentators at the world championships said she was the most well-rounded judoka there, which meant she had everything. She had speed, she had conditioning, she had grips, she had throws ... she’s pretty well-rounded. She doesn’t have a weak spot.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 19 P Re q u e s t a s t o r y em a i l a n e d i t o r n e w s r o o m @ d u r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Generals facing an uphill battle OSHAWA -- After an eight game winning streak to open the Ontario Hockey League playoffs, the Oshawa Generals are now on the other end of a streak. A pair of home ice losses to the North Bay Battalion over the weekend, 1-0 on Fri- day and 5-2 on Sunday, had the Generals behind 2-0 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference final series. The series shifted north for games three and four, with North Bay hosting Game 3 last night (after our deadline) and the fourth game tonight. If the Generals manage a win to extend the series, Game 5 will be in Oshawa on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. Panthers finish in style PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers minor peewee A team captured the King Clancy tournament championship.

He was born in Aardenburg, the Netherlands on June 30th, 1955 and was predeceased by his parents Gilbert and Ria Dhondt-Vermeire (of the Netherlands). Rudy was a loving brother to Monica Dhondt (Paul Baute), uncle to their children Ragna Baute, Shalina Baute (Karel Vanhyfte) and Marijn Baute (Tessa Martens), and great uncle to Mayra and Elise (all residing in Belgium). He will be deeply missed and often remembered by his close friends Rudy de Taeye and Jacqueline Van Belleghem. He was a patient and loving uncle to their children Steven (Candace), Shawn (Rebekah Barrett), Danielle (Ryan Vrana) and Nina de Taeye. Rudy will also be greatly missed by his friend and colleague, Pierre van Belleghem (Natasha) and their children, Luke, Melanie, Joseph and Lera. Many extended family members and friends in Canada, Belgium and the Netherlands will also remember him with fondness. Since 1988, Rudy was the owner and operator of Aquaseal Basement Waterproofing Contractors, and with pride and passion, served his clients well. An avid fan of old cars, Rudy owned and restored many during his lifetime - he took great pleasure in mentoring young drivers, and gracefully endured a few scrapes and dents to his classic automobiles. Rudy's love of animals was well known, and he would be grateful to know that donations to the Humane Society of Durham Region were made in his memory (web.humanedurham.com). At Rudy's request, there will be a private family service to celebrate his life. ~ Je hebt dapper gestreden, rust nu maar uit. ~ MILLS, Eileen (nee Bushby) - November 18, 1926 - April 17, 2014.
