Phillip John Koss, then 24, a talented violinist and a recent university graduate, had been battling mental health issues, including depression. His car was found a week later in Sarasota, about 75 miles to the north. Phillip Koss vanished without a trace, leaving behind a bewildered family. His mother, Louise Morgan, decided then she would find her son; 20 years later she remains committed to that goal. She is convinced Phillip is alive. “Call it moth- er’s intuition,” Ms. Morgan said during a recent phone interview from her Florida home. Ms. Morgan’s efforts have included the maintenance of a website that cites the details of Phillip’s disappearance and descriptions of him. In 2008 she posted an age progression drawing that depicts Phillip as he’d look after aging several years. The drawing was produced by Ajax foren- sic artist Diana Trepkov, who learned of the case through the National Centre for Miss- ing Adults, one of a number of organizations that tracks missing persons. Ms. Trepkov, touched by the plight of Mr. Koss’s family, provided her work for free. “That’s her son,” Ms. Trepkov said of Ms. Morgan. “For her, something’s always miss- ing.” This year Ms. Trepkov produced an updat- ed age progression portrait to mark the 20th anniversary of Mr. Koss’s disappearance. She shares Ms. Morgan’s hope he can be found. The gesture has touched Mr. Koss’s mother profoundly. “I can’t believe Diana’s been in contact with us all these years,” Ms. Morgan said. The new portrait, she said, helps her to maintain the hope necessary to keep up her search. She has no choice, she said, but to carry on with it. “It’s very emotional,” Ms. Morgan said. “I think of him every day. It’s the elephant in the room.” The disappearance of Phillip Koss is just one of dozens of cases in which Ms. Trepkov has participated during her career as a foren- sic artist. Her work, with law enforcement agencies across Canada and the United States, including Durham Regional Police, has assisted in investigations into both missing persons cases and efforts to iden- tify human remains. Many of those cases are highlighted in her book, Faceless, Voice- less: From Search to Closure, which provides insight into her motivation and methods.

Whitby man slashed in dispute in Ajax Argument turns violent DURHAM -- A Whitby man suffered a seri- ous wound when he was slashed after a ver- bal argument turned violent in Ajax on April 30. The incident happened at about 9:50 p.m. when the victim, a 34-year-old man, was walking to a bus stop in the Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road West area. He became involved in an verbal dispute with two males in a red car, Durham Regional Police report. The argument escalated into a physical confrontation and during the scuffle with a passenger in the car, the victim was slashed. The victim was treated at the hospital for a major slash wound. The first suspect, the driver of the vehicle, is a white man between 20 and 29 years of age, while the second suspect, the passenger, is described as a white male, 25 to 30 years of age, about five feet 11 inches tall, medium build, unshaven and wearing a black base- ball hat and a grey T-shirt. The vehicle is a red, four-door Pontiac Grand Prix. Anyone with more information is asked to call Det. Rhoden of the West Division Crimi- nal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2528.

Unfortunately when spring approaches, we often forget all too quickly about helping the homeless and this is part- ly because we do not know how. We tend to direct more of our time and money towards programs that temporarily help the poor, like shelters and food banks. This strategy, however, is limited because it means we are providing only emergen- cy assistance to homeless people and this does not help them in the long run. Shelters and food banks are an important resource but cannot be used on a day-to-day basis. As a community, it is important to invest in services that help people get off the streets permanently. Choosing to support programs that provide subsidized housing, education opportunities and job help are all better long-term solutions. In order to help the homeless we must think of them as part of our communi- ty, not a problem within it and remember their needs when we make decisions, as we would do with anyone else. Oleksandra Kaskun, Ajax Rosalind Dalzell, Pickering GM remains strong in Durham Region Last week’s GM decision to end production of the popular Camaro didn’t come as much of a surprise. Nor did the immediate commencement of hand-wringing in response to the news. The corporation had signalled in 2012 that Camaro production would come to an end in 2015, and the membership rep- resented by Unifor was fully aware that the line would be discontinued in Oshawa. That’s small comfort to Unifor mem- bers, certainly, and prompted Unifor president Jerry Dias to continue his call for a national auto strategy to attract and retain investment in the industry. However, GM is not turning its back on its operations or on Durham Region and Oshawa. There are still five vehicles being pro- duced on Oshawa’s assembly lines, and a day before the Camaro announce- ment, GM unveiled plans to expand its Oshawa engineering centre and is imme- diately hiring 100 skilled employees. That speaks to Oshawa emerging as an inno- vation centre for GM’s Canadian opera- tions going forward, and reinforces the research being carried out at the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology as it relates to the development of vehicles of tomorrow. It must also be noted that, despite the reduction in assembly plant positions due to the loss of the Camaro, GM Cana- da president Steve Carlisle responded to questions about GM’s future in announc- ing the engineering hires in Oshawa, say- ing, “to put in place this kind of capability and make this kind of commitment isn’t something you would do with a short- term agenda in mind.” Furthermore , GM officials have made clear that no decisions will be made about future production in Oshawa before a new contract is negotiated with Unifor in 2016. Bargaining for that contract is expected to formally start in July. Job loss at a major regional employer is always difficult. But GM has faced similar challenges in the past, with the requisite, prema- ture proclamations of the death of the auto industry in Ontario, only to emerge as a strong and key employer in Durham Region. The industry itself is evolving and will continue to do so. GM must lead that evo- lution, and municipal leaders must con- sider and adapt policies in the midst of transformational change to ensure that strong, stable jobs remain here. -- Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser Great kids run this place My first job was working at a Baskin and Robbins franchise in Toronto. I was 16, in the big city for the summer, and working the night shift. My boss was a 24-year-old rich kid from Rose- dale whose parents gave him a franchise as a gateway to understanding the business world. He would sweep in occasionally, boss us around for five minutes and then take off to hang out with his girl- friend. Our manager, an idealistic kid on a philosophy scholarship, was his polar opposite: one minute he would kiss up to the boss and extol the virtues of supply-side economics, tongue firmly in his cheek, and the next, explain to us that giving out ice cream to the homeless wouldn’t affect our trust fund boss’s bottom line. He read Charles Bukowski poems on a Mister Microphone on his breaks and brought us homemade dumplings that his mother made. Do I have to tell you how much we adored him? Sadly, it all came to a crashing end a month later when we all got fired after closing early to go to a Kool and the Gang concert. I spent the rest of the summer babysitting two young boys who hated the outdoors. When I returned home at summer’s end and my father asked me what I had learned from my first jobs, my answer was simple: I know the type of job I don’t want to have and the type of boss I want to be. Work is a young person’s first interaction with the adult world and yet, in a lot of places, teenage jobs have gone the way of the mixed tape. Parents, wary that paid work will interfere with homework, discour- age it. Teenagers who have too many extracurricu- lar activities don’t contemplate it. And yet, a survey conducted by the Boston Globe in 2014 concluded that teenagers who work end up with better jobs as adults, higher incomes and, provided a Kool and the Gang concert doesn’t get in the way, develop strong “soft skills” such as dependability, punctuality, confi- dence and communication. Except in my town, I suspect. Do teenagers run this place, a friend asked one weekend after we’d hit two grocery stores and a restaurant and been served by a gang of polite, exceptional young people. Kids runs this place, I said. I couldn’t have hidden the pride in my voice if I tried. -- A. Laura Francis lives in Prince Albert. She no longer listens to Kool and the Gang. A. Laura Francis Guest Column Inspiration Parenting brings love full circle I’m always delighted and usually not a little chagrined when life hands me yet another one of its tutorials. When I bump up against one of those moments where, having smugly thought I had things pret- ty well sussed out, the universe lets me know that the little I don’t know about life wouldn’t fit into the Grand Canyon. And clearly, parenting is one of its favourite teaching tools. For a great deal of our lives -- for some us in the remedial class, even 54 years of it -- we largely take our parents for grant- ed. We are aware, usually, of the many visible, tangible things they do for us. We acknowledge, hopefully, the many birth- day, Christmas, holiday and graduation gifts bestowed on us. If we are a little more present to the bounty in our lives we may be thankful for the thousands of meals that magically appeared on our plates, the clean clothes that weekly showed up in our drawer and the warm, safe home that someone had, somehow, arranged for us to grow up in. But most of us, most of the time, took it all blissfully for granted. And that’s OK. That’s frankly how most parents want it. I think it’s fair to say that one of the most important gifts we would all like to give our children is a blissful, carefree and guilt-free childhood. The gift of sim- ply being allowed to be kids for as long as possible. That last present however, some- times comes with quite a price tag. Unfor- tunately we don’t usually see the sticker price until much later in our lives...usually well into our own parenting years. When you do find yourself in the position of making sacrifices, decisions and put- ting portions of your own life on hold for the sake of your children’s happiness, you begin, hopefully, to finally get a glimpse into what was done and what, perhaps, was not done for you in your formative years. That’s an eye-opening, even life-changing, revelation. If nothing else, the experience shows you just how much and how deeply you have been loved in your life. And if you are at all like me, it makes you want to say thanks. Thanks for the million little things done to make my life healthy, happy and pointed in the right direction. Thanks for the cour- age and love required to shelter me from the scary times. The times when money was tight, the future was frightening and you had to dig pretty deep to put a happy face on things. Thanks for gutting it out and making my new baseball glove, hock- ey stick or pair of Adidas just as important as that mortgage payment. Thanks for the trips we took and the ones you didn’t get to take. Thanks for the worry. Thanks for staying up when you didn’t really need to. Thanks for the uncountable times I was on your mind and in your heart and I didn’t even know it. Thanks for every bump you smoothed before I got there and thanks for leaving the important ones for me to navi- gate. Thanks for it all. And, most especially, thanks for doing it without ever a thought of recompense or reciprocity. Thanks for showing me what real love is all about. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor,comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column 5 All-time best boxing pros Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Tim Walton: I’m a Christian.

Here’s what people were saying about the issue over the last seven days: The InBox Stealing hearts ... and money Losses due to romance and dating scams continue to mount, according to members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Anti- Rackets Branch. According to the Cana- dian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), in 2014 there were 1,467 complaints from Canada of romance fraud. Of those com- plaints, 998 victims were iden- tified and their combined financial losses exceeded $13.9 million, second only to wire fraud. The criminals seek potential victims online, generally single or recently unat- tached people. Usually this form of mass marketing fraud occurs through singles and dating-related ‘meet’ websites, social media platforms, or e-mail blasts. If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of romance fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embar- rassed - you’re not alone. Contact your local police service or CrimeStoppers at 1-800- 222-8477 (TIPS) or online at https://www. tipsubmit.com/ . Tips to Avoid Being a Victim of a Romance Scam include: • Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when you are chatting online. Educate yourself. Check the person’s name, the company name, and the addresses used. • Ask yourself – ‘Would someone I have never met really declare their love for me after only a few letters or emails?’ If the answer is no, report it to police. • Never send money, or give personal cred- it card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust. A request to send money to a foreign country to some- one you have never personally met should be a red flag. Checking website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with addresses that are very similar to legitimate dating websites. SOURCE Ontario Provincial Police Katy Roherty: Who cares?! Spend the time on real issues.

Pickering residents opposed to semi-detached homes in Rouge Park Eight homes proposed at Finch Avenue and Rosebank Road Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A group of residents liv- ing in the Rouge Park neighbourhood in Pickering are not pleased with plans for a new subdivision. Louisville Homes Ltd. is planning the development of eight semi-detached units fronting Mahogany Court, in the area of Finch Avenue and Rosebank Road. Pickering planning staff presented the plans at a recent meeting for information purposes only. The subdivision plan proposes the development of four blocks for eight semi- detached homes and a block for a road widening. The proposed lots would have a minimum lot frontage of seven metres fronting along the south side of Mahoga- ny Court. A noise attenuation fence that would be 1.8-metres high is proposed along the rear property lines, adjacent to the hydro corridor. Pickering planning staff received a peti- tion from residents representing nine households within the adjacent subdivi- sion requesting that the applicant consid- er building detached dwellings instead of semi-detached and expressing concerns about the possible devaluation of abut- ting properties. Some members of the public are con- cerned about construction impacts on the existing residents, including noise and dust issues, and feel there’s a need for a separate construction access and a con- struction management plan. A representative for the developer, Amanda Lazaridis, said there will be a construction management plan and safe- ty concerns will be dealt with through that. She also noted the plans mirror a semi- detached zoning nearby. “We believe it will add to the value and appeal of the neighbourhood,” she said. The item will come back to the planning and development committee for consid- eration at a future meeting. 3 LOCATIONS FOR QUALITY & CHOICE AJAX OPTICAL 905-683-7235 Heritage Market Square 145 Kingston Rd.

Durham police said there were no injuries as a result of the incident, which began at about 10 a.m. May 4 when offi- cers were dispatched to a report about a dispute on Pickering Parkway. As police approached, a suspect dumped items from his pockets and took off running, police said. After hopping a fence he was cornered and resisted arrest; that’s when a conducted energy weapon was deployed, police said. Police recovered 26 grams of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Troyl Barrow, 24, of Eglinton Avenue in Scarborough, is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The latest round of cuts was expected, as GM announced in 2012 that Camaro production would move to Michigan. The Camaro was the only rear-wheel drive vehi- cle still manufactured at the Oshawa plant. The last Camaro will roll off the line on Nov. 20. While everyone acknowledges the news was expected, it is by no means welcome. “It’s a pretty dark day for the local econo- my in Oshawa, obviously we’re disappoint- ed, we knew it was coming,” said Ron Sva- jlenko, president of Unifor Local 222, the union representing autoworkers. The decline in Ontario’s auto industry has been on the radar for at least 15 years. “There certainly is no question Canada is losing its position in the auto industry,” said Tony Faria, co-director of the Office of Automotive Research at the Odette School of Business at the University of Windsor and an auto industry analyst. “At one point Canada was the fourth largest automotive assembly country in the world, now we’re 10 and we’re going to fall lower than that as some countries are moving up behind us.” Locally, Mr. Faria points out that in 2000 Oshawa workers were assembling just under 900,000 vehicles per year. Last year, workers assembled just more than 277,000 vehicles, a number expected to drop sharp- ly after the loss of the Camaro. “Once you get under 200,000 vehicles being produced somewhere, it’s not a very efficient assembly plant,” said Mr. Faria. With the Camaro gone, Oshawa work- ers will continue to build the Buick Regal, Cadillac XTS, fleet Impala and the Chevy Equinox. All of the vehicles built in Oshawa are already built at other factories, mainly in the U.S. The question, then, is will Oshawa get new product? David Paterson, vice-president of cor- porate affairs for General Motors Cana- da, reiterated the company’s position that the company was sticking to its schedule and no decisions will be made about the Oshawa plant until it concludes its negotia- tions with Unifor in 2016. On the same day General Motors announced a large investment in the Unit- ed States, $5.4 billion for plant improve- ments over three years, including $783.5 million for three plants in Michigan. Mr. Paterson said GM has invested $800 million in Ontario in recent years and said the company would like to invest in Oshawa as well. “There’s every reason to be optimistic about the future and future production but we also have to make sure we have a good competitive labour agree- ment,” he said. Mr. Faria believes the ball is in the union’s court and GM will make a decision based on the viability of the Oshawa plant. “They’ve been as clear as they can be in terms of we need a labour contract that’s competitive with the UAW (United Auto- workers) in the U.S. or that may well be the end of assembly in Oshawa,” he said. Mr. Faria explains that the top wage for a Canadian GM worker is about $34.50. A new hire is currently paid 60 per cent of that, about $21 per hour and it takes 10 years to reach the salary cap. In the U.S., there are two tiers of auto workers and tier two -- which is where new employees begin -- start out at just over $15 an hour and cap out shy of $20 per hour. Mr. Faria said over the years the Canadian autoworkers union has been more “mili- tant” and he believes that has resulted in lost jobs. Mr. Svajlenko counters that when high- er American health-care costs are factored in, it adds $5 per hour to that starting wage, meaning Canadian and American workers start at roughly the same wage. He said the UAW is heading into bar- gaining this fall under pressure from its members and he believes the end result will make Canadian wages more competi- tive. Beyond that he rejects the asser- tion that tough bargaining led to job losses. “If you take a look at the Americans who have very much been compliant with Gen- eral Motors and they’ve lost just as many jobs,” said Mr. Svajlenko. Both men agree that it’s tough to com- pete with Mexico, where GM announced a $5-billion investment at the end of 2014. Mexican workers cost GM about $6 per hour, including benefits, said Mr. Svajlenko. Unifor has called for a clear auto strategy in Canada and Mr. Svajlenko said there is no equivalent to ProMexico, an organiza- tion that co-ordinates levels of government in efforts to attract investment. “I wish we had a clear automotive poli- cy,” said Mr. Faria. “Do we want to have an automotive industry in Canada? How badly do we want to have an automotive indus- try in Canada? What are we going to do to hold onto automotive investment? Canada should make some decisions.” For now, there’s no question that 1,000 job cuts will have an impact on the local econ- omy, though how big an impact remains to be seen. Mr. Faria said most experts esti- mate every job on the line at GM in Oshawa results in eight or nine spin-off jobs. A Uni- for economic report released recently esti- mated that the closure of the Oshawa plant would cost Ontario’s GDP $5.7 billion per year in the first two years after it closes and as many as 33,000 jobs in the Canadian economy. Locally, the impact of the General Motors plant stretches well beyond its doors to small business and charities. Cindy Murray, executive director of the United Way Durham Region, said when she started working with the organization 23 years ago, GM workers contributed 58 per cent of donations to the organization. The truck plant’s closure in 2009 impact- ed donations not only from GM workers, but workers at feeder plants. “Our campaign took a significant hit, we lost probably $1 million,” she said. Page 6 - Today’s editorial What’s next for General Motors? HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • General Motors Canada has announced the elimination of 1,000 jobs at its Oshawa plant by December. • Experts say every auto plant job cre- ates eight or nine spin-off jobs in the economy. • With no new product announced for Oshawa beyond 2016, there are con- cerns that the company may shutter its Oshawa plant. • A Unifor economy study estimates closing the Oshawa plant would cost Ontario billions and result in as many as 33,000 job losses throughout Canada. OSHAWA -- The official announcement last week that GM would be ending production of the popular Camaro in November has led to questions about the future of the corporation here. GM officials say the next round of contract bargaining will help determine the future.

Strike action for Durham’s public elementary teachers May 11 Work-to-rule rumoured, no details confirmed Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Teachers at Durham’s pub- lic elementary schools will be taking some form of strike action on May 11. Details of what that strike will look like haven’t been made public. “We are not going to comment on strike action details publicly until we’ve had an opportunity to communicate with all our members this week,” said ETFO presi- dent Sam Hammond. “What’s important to realize is that the government and (the Ontario Public School Boards’ Associa- tion) want to layer on more bureaucracy into the education system, and compro- mise the ability of teachers to do what’s best for our students.” The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario announced plans for labour action on Tuesday. Reports are circulating that this will be work-to-rule action as opposed to a full strike, and that extracurricular activities won’t be affected. ETFO spokeswoman Valerie Dugale declined to clarify Tuesday morning. “We’re not confirming any of those details until we communicate more with our members,” she said. An ETFO bulletin sent to members late Monday night indicated teachers will not take part in any EQAO (standard- ized testing), write report cards, fill in for absent principals or “conduct any read- ing, writing or mathematics assessments other than those that the teacher deems necessary to report on student progress.” A letter sent home to parents on Tues- day from the Kawartha Pine Ride District School Board -- which includes schools in Clarington -- says “it is our under- standing that teachers will begin an administrative work to rule campaign.” The KPR board says it anticipates its schools will be open Monday, May 11 and that school activities such as field trips, sports and extracurricular activi- ties will not be impacted. Michael Barrett, who is president of OPSBA as well as chairman of the Dur- ham District School Board, says if work- to-rule action happens, it will likely tar- get the Province, not local school boards. “This looks to be totally different from the (Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation) strategy,” he says. “I think it will really be focused on striking back at Ministry of Education initiatives.” He expected more details to be avail- able within 24 hours. The ETFO applied for conciliation in March and received a “no board” report from the Minister of Labour on April 24, which means talks with the Province have reached an impasse. However, Mr. Barrett said local level talks with the ETFO are looking more positive. “Discussions are progressing, there isn’t the same angst at the table. This is totally different from the high school teachers,” he noted. Gerard O’Neill, president of ETFO Dur- ham, could not be reached for comment. However, in a recent interview he expressed concerns about how public sector workers are being treated by the Province. “(The government) is bound and determined not to collect taxes from the people who should be paying them, and subsequently there is no money for the public service,” Mr. O’Neill said. “We haven’t had a raise now in eight years, we need a decent raise. We need decent working conditions, which are the learn- ing conditions of the children.” ETFO said in a statement that its deci- sion to take labour action May 11 is based on demands from OPSBA and the Province that would remove class size language from collective agreements, direct how teachers should spend their prep time and rescind “fair and trans- parent hiring practices.” “OPSBA wants the ability to deter- mine how teachers teach,” Mr. Ham- mond said. “The person in the educa- tion system who knows your child best -- your child’s teacher -- would no lon- ger be able to develop an instructional plan based on your child’s specific abil- ities and needs. That doesn’t make any sense when it comes to what’s best for students.” The ETFO represents 76,000 elemen- tary public school teachers, occasional teachers and education professionals and is Canada’s largest teacher union. The province-wide labour action on May 11 will impact more than 800,000 elementary students at 32 school boards. This latest round of labour action comes as Durham’s public high school teachers are in week three of a full-blown strike. They walked out of the classroom March 20, followed by teachers in Sud- bury on March 27 and Peel Region May 4. -- With files from Torstar news service See our Flyer* in today’s AJAX/PICKERINGNEWS ADVERTISER MODERN MEDI SPA 1890 GLENVIEW RD., UNIT 2B PICKERING LIV 1W8 905-492-3800 modernmedispa@rogers.com www.modernmedispa.com *not delivered to all homes CELEBRATING MOTHERS ADVICEMETROLAND DURHAM REGION MEDIA PRESENTSExpert PUT TRUST IN A LOCAL PROFESSIONAL ...

There’s a good chance one of those medals will be gold, too, considering the men’s team has come away with nothing less in the seven previous times the sport has been part of the Pan Am Games. If so, the celebration date will be Saturday, July 18, the team learned on Friday, May 1, with the official announcement of the tour- nament schedules on both the men’s and women’s sides. The Canadian women, on the other hand, will be looking to pull off an upset if they reach their championship game on Sunday, July 26, as the United States will be search- ing for its eighth straight title, the last four of which came at the expense of Canada in the final. “I think we’re inching closer to being able to be more competitive with them and we’re hopeful that this year we’ll be able to get over that hump,” said Canadian women’s team coach Mark Smith during a conference call. “Our expectations are, as they are when we start every year, that we’ll compete to the best of our ability,” added Smith, whose roster includes four Olympians and eight returning Pan Am players from the 2011 Guadalajara Games. “We are one of the very few countries in the world that can compete with the Unit- ed States on a fairly regular basis.” Men’s softball is making a return to the Games for the first time since 2003, when Canada defeated the United States for gold just as it had done each of the previous six times. Joining the two North American pow- erhouses are Mexico, Argentina, Dominican Republic and Venezuela. “We’re very, very excited to be back into the Games and to have it in our own country,” said men’s team head coach John Stuart. “It’s something I’ve been looking forward to since it’s been announced … We’re always very, very proud to put on the Canadian uniform and participate.” The men’s team has a busy summer ahead, also taking part in the International Softball Federation world championships in Sas- katoon from June 26 to July 5. Stuart will be choosing a roster of 17 for the world cham- pionships and 15 for the Pan Am Games among a group of 20 players by the end of May. Paul Koert, a former Brooklin resident, has been identified as one of the seven core play- ers on the team. On the women’s team, which has already been chosen, infielder Megan Timpf, has a connection to Durham Region as a former player with the Whitby Eagles, while assis- tant coach Melissa Basilio is from Pickering. The Canadian men kick the tournament off against Mexico on Sunday, July 12, while the women begin against Brazil on Sunday, July 19. “There’s just nothing more exciting than being able to play in a major multi-sport event in your country with the recogni- tion it will get,” Smith said. “Our team has a proud history of performing well at the Pan American Games, and we look for- ward to the opportunity to play in front of our Canadians fans.” Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG 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 y 6 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Ironheads open lacrosse season strong Jr. B club back in action tonight in Ajax after pair of 8-7 wins AJAX -- The Ironheads used their home floor at the Ajax Community Centre to full advantage on the weekend, opening the Jr. B lacrosse season with a pair of close wins. The Ironheads scored the game’s final two goals on Saturday, May 2 to grab an 8-7 win over the Kahnawake Hunters, then won by the same score the next day over the Akwesasne Indians. Jeremy Hill snapped a 7-7 tie against the Hunters, and goalie Chris Steele held the lead for the final 5:18 in a game that saw the Ironheads out-shoot Kahnawake 56-35. Patrick Morgan and Brandon Hunt had five points each for the winners, four of Morgan’s being goals and all of Hunt’s assists. Jake Gilmour, Rowan Kelly and Cyle Ropson each scored once. The Ironheads were out-shot on Sun- day, 33-28, but Matthew Law was strong in goal to help produce another win. Power-play goals by Ryan Morrison and Morgan put the Ironheads ahead by two with half the third period remaining, and Law allowed only one goal after that, with 43 seconds remaining. Morgan had another big game with six points, including a pair of goals, while Adri- an Torok-Orban had two goals and four points. Hill also scored twice, and Brandon Neto once for the Ironheads. The Ironheads are back in action at home on Wednedsay, May 6, an 8 p.m. start against the Orillia Kings. AJAX -- Ajax Ironheads’ Mike Berger held on to the ball in a crowd against the Akwesasne Indians.

Rae died 20 March 2015. She is predeceased by her parents, and mourned by her surviving brother David, and his partner Jan. Rae was born in Ballymena Northern Ireland 05 May 1952, and moved with her family to Canada in 1956, to their new home in Ajax. She grew up there, in an Ajax that was then a small town. Although she moved around after finishing school, she was never far from Ajax, and eventually made her home in Scarborough, in the Guildwood area. Rae made friends easily, and so touched the lives of very many others. As such, many will miss her. None so much as her brother.
